AB  - The context of this study includes: (1) the Government's arrangements to facilitate the flow of scientific and technical information, (2) the vast but amorphous "usership" of information in government, industry, the universities, and the public, and (3) the rapidly advancing technology of information. The purpose was to examine and assess the situation in, and trend of, scientific and technical communication and to give a progress report and an evaluation. The main broad impressions of the situation and trend in scientific and technical communication are: (1) The information problem is different from other problems of concern to the Office of Science and Technology (OST); (2) Fair progress is being made toward implementation of mechanisms to facilitate use of information; (3) The Committee on Scientific and Technical Information (COSATI) is doing almost all that can be done by a committee representing diverse agencies; (4) The government is only partially successful in getting non-government cooperation from a unified information system; (5) The demand for a unified system is increasing progressively from some quarters; (6) The field is not yet well enough defined to justify a national system attempt, and (7) The situation calls for a coherent plan and strong leadership. (This is considered to be one of the basic papers of government interest in the field of information science.) (Author/NH)

AB  - Background: Avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1) viruses are globally distributed, infect wild, peridomestic, and domestic birds, and sometimes lead to outbreaks of disease. Thus, the maintenance, evolution, and spread of APMV-1 viruses are relevant to avian health. Methods: In this study we sequenced the fusion gene from 58 APMV-1 isolates recovered from thirteen species of wild birds sampled throughout the USA during 2007-2014. We analyzed sequence information with previously reported data in order to assess contemporary genetic diversity and inter-taxa/inter-region exchange of APMV-1 in wild birds sampled in North America. Results: Our results suggest that wild birds maintain previously undescribed genetic diversity of APMV-1; however, such diversity is unlikely to be pathogenic to domestic poultry. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that APMV-1 diversity detected in wild birds of North America has been found in birds belonging to numerous taxonomic host orders and within hosts inhabiting multiple geographic regions suggesting some level of viral exchange. However, our results also provide statistical support for associations between phylogenetic tree topology and host taxonomic order/region of sample origin which supports restricted exchange among taxa and geographical regions of North America for some APMV-1 sub-genotypes. Conclusions: We identify previously unrecognized genetic diversity of APMV-1 in wild birds in North America which is likely a function of continued viral evolution in reservoir hosts. We did not, however, find support for the emergence or maintenance of APMV-1 strains predicted to be pathogenic to poultry in wild birds of North America outside of the order Suliformes (i.e., cormorants). Furthermore, genetic evidence suggests that ecological drivers or other mechanisms may restrict viral exchange among taxa and regions of North America. Additional and more systematic sampling for APMV-1 in North America would likely provide further inference on viral dynamics for this infectious agent in wild bird populations.

AB  - The rumen is lined on the luminal side by a stratified squamous epithelium that is responsible for not only absorption, but also transport, extensive short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism and protection. Butyrate has been demonstrated to initiate the differentiation of the tissue following introduction of solid feed to the weaning neonate as well as affecting the metabolism of other nutrients and absorption of nutrients in in vitro experiments. The objective of the present study was to validate expression stability of eight putative reference genes bovine rumen, considering the intrinsic heterogeneity of bovine rumen with regard to different luminal characteristics due to direct infusion of butyrate to double the intra-ruminal content of the rumen liquor. Our focus was on identifying stable reference genes which are suitable to normalize real-time RT-qPCR experiments from rumen samples collected from clinical assays, irrespective of localization within the organ and the across physiological state. The most stably expressed genes included: ACTB, UXT, DBNDD2, RPS9, DDX54 and HMBS. Their high stability values suggest these reference genes will facilitate better evaluation of variation of across an array of conditions including: localization within the rumen, differences among cattle fed an array of rations, as well as response to development in the weaning animal. Moreover, we anticipate these reference genes may be useful for expression studies in other ruminants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is among the 100 worst invasive species in the world. As one of the most important crop pests and virus vectors, B. tabaci causes substantial crop losses and poses a serious threat to global food security. Results: We report the 615-Mb high-quality genome sequence of B. tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1), the first genome sequence in the Aleyrodidae family, which contains 15,664 protein-coding genes. The B. tabaci genome is highly divergent from other sequenced hemipteran genomes, sharing no detectable synteny. A number of known detoxification gene families, including cytochrome P450s and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, are significantly expanded in B. tabaci. Other expanded gene families, including cathepsins, large clusters of tandemly duplicated B. tabaci-specific genes, and phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs), were found to be associated with virus acquisition and transmission and/or insecticide resistance, likely contributing to the global invasiveness and efficient virus transmission capacity of B. tabaci. The presence of 142 horizontally transferred genes from bacteria or fungi in the B. tabaci genome, including genes encoding hopanoid/sterol synthesis and xenobiotic detoxification enzymes that are not present in other insects, offers novel insights into the unique biological adaptations of this insect such as polyphagy and insecticide resistance. Interestingly, two adjacent bacterial pantothenate biosynthesis genes, panB and panC, have been co-transferred into B. tabaci and fused into a single gene that has acquired introns during its evolution. Conclusions: The B. tabaci genome contains numerous genetic novelties, including expansions in gene families associated with insecticide resistance, detoxification and virus transmission, as well as numerous horizontally transferred genes from bacteria and fungi. We believe these novelties likely have shaped B. tabaci as a highly invasive polyphagous crop pest and efficient vector of plant viruses. The genome serves as a reference for resolving the B. tabaci cryptic species complex, understanding fundamental biological novelties, and providing valuable genetic information to assist the development of novel strategies for controlling whiteflies and the viruses they transmit.

AB  - Heartland virus (HRTV) is a recently described phlebovirus initially isolated in 2009 from 2 humans who had leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Serologic assessment of domestic and wild animal populations near the residence of 1 of these persons showed high exposure rates to raccoons, white-tailed deer, and horses. To our knowledge, no laboratory-based assessments of viremic potential of animals infected with HRTV have been performed. We experimentally inoculated several vertebrates (raccoons, goats, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, C57BL/6 mice, and interferon-α/β/γ receptor-deficient [Ag129]) mice with this virus. All animals showed immune responses against HRTV after primary or secondary exposure. However, neutralizing antibody responses were limited. Only Ag129 mice showed detectable viremia and associated illness and death, which were dose dependent. Ag129 mice also showed development of mean peak viral antibody titers >8 log10 PFU/mL, hemorrhagic hepatic lesions, splenomegaly, and large amounts of HRTV antigen in mononuclear cells and hematopoietic cells in the spleen.

AB  - Objectives. To determine if blight remediation of abandoned buildings and vacant lots can be a cost-beneficial solution to firearm violence in US cities. Methods. We performed quasi-experimental analyses of the impacts and economic returns on investment of urban blight remediation programs involving 5112 abandoned buildings and vacant lots on the occurrence of firearm and nonfirearm violence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from1999 to2013.We adjusted before-after percent changes and returns on investment in treated versus control groups for sociodemographic factors. Results. Abandoned building remediation significantly reduced firearm violence -39% (95% confidence interval [CI] = -28%, -50%; P < .05) as did vacant lot remediation (-4.6%; 95% CI = -4.2%, -5.0%; P < .001). Neither program significantly affected nonfirearm violence. Respectively, taxpayer and societal returns on investment for the prevention of firearm violence were $5 and $79 for every dollar spent on abandoned building remediation and $26 and $333 for every dollar spent on vacant lot remediation. Conclusions. Abandoned buildings and vacant lots are blighted structures seen daily by urban residents that may create physical opportunities for violence by sheltering illegal activity and illegal firearms. Urban blight remediation programs can be cost-beneficial strategies that significantly and sustainably reduce firearm violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Between-year breeding dispersal has not been previously documented in White-headed Woodpeckers ( Picoides albolarvatus). Therefore, resightings of color-banded adults on previous years' breeding territories have been considered a means of estimating annual adult survival. From 2013 to 2015, I observed 2 cases of between-year breeding dispersal by adult color-banded White-headed Woodpeckers in central Washington. Mean dispersal distance was 6.9 km, and both adults were successful in fledging young in their new territories. Without extensive searches outside of previous years' territories, such dispersal events could have been classified as mortalities leading to annual survival estimates that were biased low.

AB  - Uridine-rich small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are the basal components of the spliceosome and play essential roles in splicing. The biogenesis of the majority of snRNAs involves 3′ end endonucleolytic cleavage of the nascent transcript from the elongating DNA-dependent RNA ploymerase II. However, the protein factors responsible for this process remain elusive in plants. Here, we show that DEFECTIVE in snRNA PROCESSING 1 (DSP1) is an essential protein for snRNA 3′ end maturation in Arabidopsis. A hypomorphic dsp1-1 mutation causes pleiotropic developmental defects, impairs the 3′ end processing of snRNAs, increases the levels of snRNA primary transcripts (pre-snRNAs), and alters the occupancy of Pol II at snRNA loci. In addition, DSP1 binds snRNA loci and interacts with Pol-II in a DNA/RNA-dependent manner. We further show that DSP1 forms a conserved complex, which contains at least four additional proteins, to catalyze snRNA 3′ end maturation in Arabidopsis. The catalytic component of this complex is likely the cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 73 kDa-I (CSPF73-I), which is the nuclease cleaving the pre-mRNA 3′ end. However, the DSP1 complex does not affect pre-mRNA 3′ end cleavage, suggesting that plants may use different CPSF73-I-containing complexes to process snRNAs and pre-mRNAs. This study identifies a complex responsible for the snRNA 3′ end maturation in plants and uncovers a previously unknown function of CPSF73 in snRNA maturation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. To investigate differences in levels of plasma trans fatty acids (TFAs) and a broad set of other markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the US adult population between 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. Methods. Using a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older from the 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, regression models were estimated to compare levels of TFAs and other markers for CVD risk over time. Results. Significant declines in levels of plasma TFAs and improvements in a variety of other markers for CVD risk were observed in the US adult population. Conclusions. Between the 2 time points, 1999–2000 and 2009–2010, there were substantial decreases in TFA levels and improvements in several other important cardiovascular health indicators in US adults.

AB  - Accurate spatially distributed estimates of actual evapotranspiration (ET) derived from remotely sensed data are critical to a broad range of practical and operational applications. However, due to lengthy return intervals and cloud cover, data acquisition is not continuous over time, particularly for satellite sensors operating at medium (~ 100 m) or finer resolutions. To fill the data gaps between clear-sky data acquisitions, interpolation methods that take advantage of the relationship between ET and other environmental properties that can be continuously monitored are often used. This study sought to evaluate the accuracy of this approach, which is commonly referred to as temporal upscaling, as a function of satellite revisit interval. Using data collected at 20 Ameriflux sites distributed throughout the contiguous United States and representing four distinct land cover types (cropland, grassland, forest, and open-canopy) as a proxy for perfect retrievals on satellite overpass dates, this study assesses daily ET estimates derived using five different reference quantities (incident solar radiation, net radiation, available energy, reference ET, and equilibrium latent heat flux) and three different interpolation methods (linear, cubic spline, and Hermite spline). Not only did the analyses find that the temporal autocorrelation, i.e., persistence, of all of the reference quantities was short, it also found that those land cover types with the greatest ET exhibited the least persistence. This carries over to the error associated with both the various scaled quantities and flux estimates. In terms of both the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE), the errors increased rapidly with increasing return interval following a logarithmic relationship. Again, those land cover types with the greatest ET showed the largest errors. Moreover, using a threshold of 20% relative error, this study indicates that a return interval of no more than 5 days is necessary for accurate daily ET estimates. It also found that the spline interpolation methods performed erratically for long return intervals and should be avoided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ten strains representing four lineages of the Pseudomonas fluorescens group (P. chlororaphis, P. corrugata, P. koreensis, and P. fluorescens subgroups) were evaluated for toxicity to the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta and the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The three strains within the P. chlororaphis subgroup exhibited both oral and injectable toxicity to the lepidopteran M. sexta. All three strains have the gene cluster encoding the FitD insect toxin and a ΔfitD mutant of P. protegens strain Pf-5 exhibited diminished oral toxicity compared to the wildtype strain. Only one of the three strains, P. protegens Pf-5, exhibited substantial levels of oral toxicity against the dipteran D. melanogaster. Three strains in the P. fluorescens subgroup, which lack fitD, consistently showed significant levels of injectable toxicity against M. sexta. In contrast, the oral toxicity of these strains against D. melanogaster was variable between experiments, with only one strain, Pseudomonas sp. BG33R, causing significant levels of mortality in repeated experiments. Toxin complex (Tc) gene clusters, which encode insecticidal properties in Photorhabdus luminescens, were identified in the genomes of seven of the ten strains evaluated in this study. Within those seven genomes, six types of Tc gene clusters were identified, distinguished by gene content, organization and genomic location, but no correlation was observed between the presence of Tc genes and insect toxicity of the evaluated strains. Our results demonstrate that members of the P. fluorescens group have the capacity to kill insects by both FitD-dependent and independent mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Phytophthora root and stem rot is one of the most yield-limiting diseases of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr], caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae. Partial resistance is controlled by several genes and, compared to single gene (Rps gene) resistance to P. sojae, places less selection pressure on P. sojae populations. Thus, partial resistance provides a more durable resistance against the pathogen. In previous work, plant introductions (PIs) originating from the Republic of Korea (S. Korea) have shown to be excellent sources for high levels of partial resistance against P. sojae. Results: Resistance to two highly virulent P. sojae isolates was assessed in 1395 PIs from S. Korea via a greenhouse layer test. Lines exhibiting possible Rps gene immunity or rot due to other pathogens were removed and the remaining 800 lines were used to identify regions of quantitative resistance using genome-wide association mapping. Sixteen SNP markers on chromosomes 3, 13 and 19 were significantly associated with partial resistance to P. sojae and were grouped into seven quantitative trait loci (QTL) by linkage disequilibrium blocks. Two QTL on chromosome 3 and three QTL on chromosome 19 represent possible novel loci for partial resistance to P. sojae. While candidate genes at QTL varied in their predicted functions, the coincidence of QTLs 3-2 and 13-1 on chromosomes 3 and 13, respectively, with Rps genes and resistance gene analogs provided support for the hypothesized mechanism of partial resistance involving weak R-genes. Conclusions: QTL contributing to partial resistance towards P. sojae in soybean germplasm originating from S. Korea were identified. The QTL identified in this study coincide with previously reported QTL, Rps genes, as well as novel loci for partial resistance. Molecular markers associated with these QTL can be used in the marker-assisted introgression of these alleles into elite cultivars. Annotations of genes within QTL allow hypotheses on the possible mechanisms of partial resistance to P. sojae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Black Sigatoka or black leaf streak disease, caused by the Dothideomycete fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis (previously: Mycosphaerella fijiensis), is the most significant foliar disease of banana worldwide. Due to the lack of effective host resistance, management of this disease requires frequent fungicide applications, which greatly increase the economic and environmental costs to produce banana. Weekly applications in most banana plantations lead to rapid evolution of fungicide-resistant strains within populations causing disease-control failures throughout the world. Given its extremely high economic importance, two strains of P. fijiensis were sequenced and assembled with the aid of a new genetic linkage map. The 74-Mb genome of P. fijiensis is massively expanded by LTR retrotransposons, making it the largest genome within the Dothideomycetes. Melting-curve assays suggest that the genomes of two closely related members of the Sigatoka disease complex, P. eumusae and P. musae, also are expanded. Electrophoretic karyotyping and analyses of molecular markers in P. fijiensis field populations showed chromosome-length polymorphisms and high genetic diversity. Genetic differentiation was also detected using neutral markers, suggesting strong selection with limited gene flow at the studied geographic scale. Frequencies of fungicide resistance in fungicide-treated plantations were much higher than those in untreated wild-type P. fijiensis populations. A homologue of the Cladosporium fulvum Avr4 effector, PfAvr4, was identified in the P. fijiensis genome. Infiltration of the purified PfAVR4 protein into leaves of the resistant banana variety Calcutta 4 resulted in a hypersensitive-like response. This result suggests that Calcutta 4 could carry an unknown resistance gene recognizing PfAVR4. Besides adding to our understanding of the overall Dothideomycete genome structures, the P. fijiensis genome will aid in developing fungicide treatment schedules to combat this pathogen and in improving the efficiency of banana breeding programs.

AB  - The genetic diversity of cowpea was analyzed, and the population structure was estimated in a diverse set of 768 cultivated cowpea genotypes from the USDA GRIN cowpea collection, originally collected from 56 countries. Genotyping by sequencing was used to discover single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in cowpea and the identified SNP alleles were used to estimate the level of genetic diversity, population structure, and phylogenetic relationships. The aim of this study was to detect the gene pool structure of cowpea and to determine its relationship between different regions and countries. Based on the model-based ancestry analysis, the phylogenetic tree, and the principal component analysis, three well-differentiated genetic populations were postulated from 768 worldwide cowpea genotypes. According to the phylogenetic analyses between each individual, region, and country, we may trace the accession from off-original, back to the two candidate original areas (West and East of Africa) to predict the migration and domestication history during the cowpea dispersal and development. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the analysis of the genetic variation and relationship between globally cultivated cowpea genotypes. The results will help curators, researchers, and breeders to understand, utilize, conserve, and manage the collection for more efficient contribution to international cowpea research.

AB  - Background: Microsatellite markers are one of the most informative and versatile DNA-based markers used in plant genetic research, but their development has traditionally been difficult and costly. The whole genome sequencing with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provides large amounts of sequence data to develop numerous microsatellite markers at whole genome scale. SSR markers have great advantage in cross-species comparisons and allow investigation of karyotype and genome evolution through highly efficient computation approaches such as in silico PCR. Here we described genome wide development and characterization of SSR markers in the watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) genome, which were then use in comparative analysis with two other important crop species in the Cucurbitaceae family: cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (Cucumis melo L.). We further applied these markers in evaluating the genetic diversity and population structure in watermelon germplasm collections. Results: A total of 39,523 microsatellite loci were identified from the watermelon draft genome with an overall density of 111 SSRs/Mbp, and 32,869 SSR primers were designed with suitable flanking sequences. The dinucleotide SSRs were the most common type representing 34.09 % of the total SSR loci and the AT-rich motifs were the most abundant in all nucleotide repeat types. In silico PCR analysis identified 832 and 925 SSR markers with each having a single amplicon in the cucumber and melon draft genome, respectively. Comparative analysis with these crossspecies SSR markers revealed complicated mosaic patterns of syntenic blocks among the genomes of three species. In addition, genetic diversity analysis of 134 watermelon accessions with 32 highly informative SSR loci placed these lines into two groups with all accessions of C.lanatus var. citorides and three accessions of C. colocynthis clustered in one group and all accessions of C. lanatus var. lanatus and the remaining accessions of C. colocynthis clustered in another group. Furthermore, structure analysis was consistent with the dendrogram indicating the 134 watermelon accessions were classified into two populations. Conclusion: The large number of genome wide SSR markers developed herein from the watermelon genome provides a valuable resource for genetic map construction, QTL exploration, map-based gene cloning and marker-assisted selection in watermelon which has a very narrow genetic base and extremely low polymorphism among cultivated lines. Furthermore, the cross-species transferable SSR markers identified herein should also have practical uses in many applications in species of Cucurbitaceae family whose whole genome sequences are not yet available.

AB  - The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is a highly significant pest in olive growing countries, and controlling it may be enhanced by using genetically modified strains, especially for sterile insect technique programs. To improve and expand this technology, piggyBac-mediated germline transformation was achieved in a laboratory-adapted wild olive fruit fly strain. A piggyBac vector was used that is marked with both green (EGFP) and red (DsRed) fluorescent protein genes, with a duplicate piggyBac 5' terminal inverted repeat sequence inserted between the marker genes for subsequent immobilization of vectors integrated into the host genome. Five transformant G1 adults were selected based on marker gene expression, yielding an estimated minimum germline transformation frequency of approximately 1.8% per G0 adult. All transgenic lines expressed DsRed and EGFP, although DsRed was more visible and robust compared to EGFP expression, which remained stable for more than 20 generations. Marker expression and PCR analysis, including an insertion site sequence, was consistent with stable genomic insertions. This is the first study of B. oleae transformant lines to assess life fitness parameters, including egg hatching, larval survival, larval-to-pupal survival, pupal-to-adult survival, and fertility. In three transgenic lines, survival at all biological stages was similar; overall fitness was significantly lower compared to wild-type olive flies, but similar to fitness levels previously reported for transgenic Mexican fruit flies. The studies presented here demonstrate the development of marked strains for olive fly using polyubiquitin-regulated fluorescent proteins in transformation vectors that can be stabilized for strain stability and ecological safety. This is the first successful effort to establish transgenic strains for an important agricultural pest in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The atomic structure of Al90Sm10 metallic glass is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. By performing a long sub-Tg annealing, we developed a glass model closer to the experiments than the models prepared by continuous cooling. Using the cluster alignment method, we found that "3661" cluster is the dominating short-range order in the glass samples. The connection and arrangement of "3661" clusters, which define the medium-range order in the system, are enhanced significantly in the sub-Tg annealed sample as compared with the fast cooled glass samples. Unlike some strong binary glass formers such as Cu64.5Zr35.5, the clusters representing the short-range order do not form an interconnected interpenetrating network in Al90Sm10, which has only marginal glass formability.

AB  - Outbreak data have been used to estimate the proportion of illnesses attributable to different foods. Applying outbreak-based attribution estimates to nonoutbreak foodborne illnesses requires an assumption of similar exposure pathways for outbreak and sporadic illnesses. This assumption cannot be tested, but other comparisons can assess its veracity. Our study compares demographic, clinical, temporal, and geographic characteristics of outbreak and sporadic illnesses from Campylobacter, Escherichia coli O157, Listeria, and Salmonella bacteria ascertained by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet). Differences among FoodNet sites in outbreak and sporadic illnesses might reflect differences in surveillance practices. For Campylobacter, Listeria, and Escherichia coli O157, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity, sex, and age. For Salmonella, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity and sex. Nevertheless, the percentage of outbreak illnesses in the youngest age category was lower. Therefore, we do not reject the assumption that outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - A total of 85 fecal samples from captive birds collected from October 2013 to September 2014 in Uberlândia and Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil) were evaluated for the presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia by PCR. Of these, three birds were found positive for E. bieneusi (3.5%), two for Cryptosporidium (2.3%), and one for Giardia (1.2%). Two genotypes of E. bieneusi were detected by nucleotide sequence analysis of the ITS region, genotypes D and Peru 6 in a swan goose and in two rock pigeons, respectively. For Cryptosporidium and Giardia, nucleotide sequence analysis of the SSU rRNA identified Cryptosporidium baileyi and Duck genotype in a swan goose and a mandarin duck, respectively, and Giardia duodenalis assemblage A in a toco toucon. Our results demonstrate that human-pathogenic E. bieneusi genotypes D and Peru6 and G. duodenalis assemblage A are present in captive birds in Brazil, corroborating their potential role as a source of human infection and environmental contamination.

N2  - Over the last decade, a wide variety of new foods have been introduced into the global marketplace, many with health benefits that exceed those of traditional foods. Simultaneously, a wide range of analytical technologies has evolved that allow greater capability for the determination of food composition. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), traditionally a research tool used for structural elucidation, is now being used frequently for metabolomics and chemical fingerprinting. Its stability and inherent ease of quantification have been exploited extensively to identify and quantify bioactive components in foods and dietary supplements. In addition, NMR fingerprints have been used to differentiate cultivars, evaluate sensory properties of food and investigate the influence of growing conditions on food crops. Here we review the latest applications of NMR in food analysis. Published 2016. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

N2  - To achieve controlled physiochemical, structural, and consequently, functional properties of interacting systems containing β-lactoglobulin (βLG) and commercial standardized low methoxyl pectin (LMP, DE 36.8%), solution conditions were established and studied at the weight ratio of 3:1 (w/w), pH ~6.50. Online multi-detection High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography (HPSEC) was used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the interacting biopolymer fractions in detail. Results showed that upon direct mixing, ~6.1% (w/w) of native dimeric βLG molecules formed complexes with LMP molecules of two sizes, namely [Mw] ~250 and 55 kDa. The interactions produced complexes of altered shapes and hydrodynamic properties compared to those of βLG and LMP controls. Heat-induced (80°C, 10 min) denaturation of βLG greatly increased its participation in the complexes as aggregates, to ~10.4%, which appear to favor the LMP molecules of higher [Mw]. Pre-heating LMP, however, impeded its binding to βLG and increased the amount of unbound βLG as a result. The effect of sucrose on the interactions between βLG and LMP was also investigated using a set of similarly treated samples but with sucrose removed from LMP. These studies demonstrated that sucrose greatly facilitated the complex formation, notably between the pre-heated βLG and LMP. The structures of the complexes were found to be less flexible and less open in the presence of sucrose than its absence. It is suggested that sucrose contributed greatly to the stabilization of the heat-induced βLG aggregates as they interact with LMP through a preferential exclusion mechanism.

N2  - The objective of this study was to directly construct a tertiary growth model for Listeria monocytogenes in a simulated comminuted, non-cured cooked pork product and simultaneously determine the kinetic parameters using a combination of dynamic and isothermal growth curves. Growth studies were conducted using a cocktail of 5 strains of L. monocytogenes in cooked pork under both dynamic and isothermal temperature profiles designed to examine the effect of temperature on bacterial growth. A direct kinetic analysis method was used to construct the growth models and determine the kinetic parameters. The bacterial growth was simulated by a set of differential equations, and the temperature effect was evaluated by the cardinal parameters model. A numerical analysis and optimization method was used to simultaneously solve the different equations and search for the best fits of kinetic parameters for the growth curves and models. The estimated minimum, optimum, and maximum growth temperatures were 0, 33.0, and 42.6°C, matching well with typical growth characteristics of this microorganism. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) of curve-fitting was 0.42 log CFU/g. The growth models and kinetic parameters were validated using both independent dynamic and isothermal growth curves to check the accuracy of the models. The results showed that the RMSE of predicted growth was 0.49 log CFU/g. The residual errors of predictions follow a Laplace distribution, with 80.3% of the residual errors falling within±0.5 log CFU/g of the observations. This study proves that the one-step dynamic analysis with both dynamic and isothermal temperature profiles can be an effective approach for simultaneously constructing a tertiary model and determining the kinetic parameters.

N2  - Corn infected with Ustilago maydis, causal agent of common smut disease, produces galls that are used as food in certain cultures, but may be contaminated with mycotoxins. The objective of this study was to determine mycotoxin levels in common smut galls (CSGs) collected from the field at corn ear reproductive stages R1 through R5 and in commercial CSGs products. The study was conducted in 2012 and 2013. A simple extraction method for five mycotoxins was devised and the results showed the presence of these compounds in CSGs in corn during ear development at various physiological stages. Fumonisin was the major mycotoxin in CSG samples in both 2012 (63%, ≤150.7 µg g-1) and 2013 (46.9%, ≤20.9 µg g-1); followed by aflatoxin (2012: 2%, ≤14.7 ng g-1; 2013: 30.6%, ≤10.8 ng g-1) and zearalenone (2012: ≤41.70 ng g-1; 2013: ≤12.40 ng g-1). Deoxynivalenol (DON) was only detected in 2012 (≤1.6 µg g-1), and cyclopiazonic acid was only detected in 2013 (≤3.18 µg g-1). Commercial canned and fresh CSG samples also contained detectable amounts of mycotoxins including aflatoxin, fumonisin, CPA, and DON. Aspergillus flavus was isolated from selected 2013 CSG field samples at R2 or older (0-1.6×106 cfu/g), whereas Fusarium spp were isolated at R1 or older (0-7.5×107 cfu/g). These results indicate that CSGs can be infected with mycotoxigenic fungi and contaminated with mycotoxins. The incidence of mycotoxins in commercially available CSG products was highly variable and warrants further study.

AB  - Supernumerary chromosome segments are known to harbor different transposons from their essential counterparts. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of transposons in the origin and evolution of supernumerary segments in the asexual fungal pathogen Fusarium virguliforme. We compared the genomes of 11 isolates comprising six Fusarium species that cause soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) or bean root rot (BRR), and identified significant levels of genetic variation in A+T-rich repeat blocks of the essential chromosomes and in A+T-neutral regions of the supernumerary segments. The A+T-rich repeat blocks in the essential chromosomes were highly variable between F. virguliforme and non-F. virguliforme isolates, but were scarcely variable between F. virguliforme isolates. The A+T-neutral regions in the supernumerary segments, however, were highly variable between F. virguliforme isolates, with a statistically significant number (21 standard deviations above the mean) of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). And supernumerary sequence types and rearrangement patterns of some F. virguliforme isolates were present in an isolate of F. cuneirostrum but not in the other F. virguliforme isolates. The most variable and highly expressed region in the supernumerary segments contained an active DNA transposon that was a most conserved match between F. virguliforme and the unrelated fungus Tolypocladium inflatum. This transposon was absent from two of the F. virguliforme isolates. Furthermore, transposons in the supernumerary segments of some F. virguliforme isolates were present in non-F. virguliforme isolates, but were absent from the other F. virguliforme isolates. Two supernumerary P450 enzymes were 43% and 57% identical to their essential counterparts. This study has raised the possibility that transposons generate genetic variation in supernumerary chromosome segments by frequent horizontal transfer within and between closely related species.

AB  - Respiratory failure and death in East Coast Fever (ECF), a clinical syndrome of African cattle caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva, has historically been attributed to pulmonary infiltration by infected lymphocytes. However, immunohistochemical staining of tissue from T. parva infected cattle revealed large numbers of CD3- and CD20-negative intralesional mononuclear cells. Due to this finding, we hypothesized that macrophages play an important role in Theileria parva disease pathogenesis. Data presented here demonstrates that terminal ECF in both Holstein and Boran cattle is largely due to multisystemic histiocytic responses and resultant tissue damage. Furthermore, the combination of these histologic changes with the clinical findings, including lymphadenopathy, prolonged pyrexia, multi-lineage leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia is consistent with macrophage activation syndrome. All animals that succumbed to infection exhibited lymphohistiocytic vasculitis of small to medium caliber blood and lymphatic vessels. In pulmonary, lymphoid, splenic and hepatic tissues from Holstein cattle, the majority of intralesional macrophages were positive for CD163, and often expressed large amounts of IL-17. These data define a terminal ECF pathogenesis in which parasite-driven lymphoproliferation leads to secondary systemic macrophage activation syndrome, mononuclear vasculitis, pulmonary edema, respiratory failure and death. The accompanying macrophage phenotype defined by CD163 and IL-17 is presented in the context of this pathogenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Reverse Monte Carlo simulations (RMC) have been widely used to generate three dimensional (3D) atomistic models for glass systems. To examine the reliability of the method for metallic glass, we use RMC to predict the atomic configurations of a "known" structure from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and then compare the structure obtained from the RMC with the target structure from MD. We show that when the structure factors and partial pair correlation functions from the MD simulations are used as inputs for RMC simulations, the 3D atomistic structure of the glass obtained from the RMC gives the short- and medium-range order in good agreement with those from the target structure by the MD simulation. These results suggest that 3D atomistic structure model of the metallic glass alloys can be reasonably well reproduced by RMC method with a proper choice of input constraints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We review a unique set of documents, death certificates, catalogued in the US Air Force Mortality Registry, which tracks deaths for current and retired Air Force service members. We screened the records for all deaths caused by fungal diseases between 1970 and 2013. There were 216 deaths caused by a variety of diseases such as aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, mucormycosis, pneumocystosis, sporotrichosis, and zygomycosis. The single most common identified cause of death was opportunistic candidiasis. Of the total 216 deaths, only 7 were active duty or active reserve personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Senecavirus A has been infrequently associated with vesicular disease in swine since 1988. However, clinical disease has not been reproduced after experimental infection with this virus. We report vesicular disease in 9-week-old pigs after Sencavirus A infection by the intranasal route under experimental conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We investigate the formation of steady gas flows-so-called electric winds-created by point-plane corona discharges driven by time oscillating (ac) electric fields. By varying the magnitude and frequency of the applied field, we identify two distinct scaling regimes: (i) a low frequency (dc) regime and (ii) a high frequency (ac) regime. These experimental observations are reproduced and explained by a theoretical model describing the transport and recombination of ions surrounding the discharge and their contribution to the measured wind velocity. The two regimes differ in the spatial distribution of ions and in the process by which ions are consumed. Interestingly, we find that ac corona discharges generate strong electric forces localized near the tip of the point electrode, while dc corona discharges generate weaker forces distributed throughout the interelectrode region. Consequently, the velocity of the electric winds (>1 m/s) generated by ac discharges is largely independent of the position of the counter electrode. The unified theoretical description of dc and ac electric winds presented here reconciles previous observations of winds driven by dc corona and ac dielectric barrier discharges; insights from the model should also prove useful in the design of other plasma actuators.

AB  - Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular apicomplexan pathogen of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa that causes East Coast fever (ECF). ECF is an acute fatal disease that kills over one million cattle annually, imposing a tremendous burden on African small-holder cattle farmers. The pathology and level of T. parva infections in its wildlife host, African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), and in cattle are distinct. We have developed an absolute quantification method based on quantitative PCR (qPCR) in which recombinant plasmids containing single copy genes specific to the parasite (apical membrane antigen 1 gene, ama1) or the host (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1, hprt1) are used as the quantification reference standards. Our study shows that T. parva and bovine cells are present in similar numbers in T. parva-infected lymphocyte cell lines and that consequently, due to its much smaller genome size, T. parva DNA comprises between 0.9% and 3% of the total DNA samples extracted from these lines. This absolute quantification assay of parasite and host genome copy number in a sample provides a simple and reliable method of assessing T. parva load in infected bovine lymphocytes, and is accurate over a wide range of host-to-parasite DNA ratios. Knowledge of the proportion of target DNA in a sample, as enabled by this method, is essential for efficient high-throughput genome sequencing applications for a variety of intracellular pathogens. This assay will also be very useful in future studies of interactions of distinct host-T. parva stocks and to fully characterize the dynamics of ECF infection in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Attractant-based traps are a cornerstone of detection, delimitation and eradication programs for pests such as tephritid fruit flies. The ideal trap and lure combination has high attraction (it brings insects to the trap from a distance) and high capture efficiency (it has a high probability of capturing the insect once it arrives at the trap). We examined the effect of an insecticide (DDVP) in combination with a pheromone lure (trimedlure) on capture of Ceratitis capitata using 1) digital images of surfaces of a Jackson trap analyzed via computer vision, and 2) counts of the number of flies caught in the trap and in the area under the trap. Our results indicate no significant difference in trap capture without or with insecticide (means ± SD = 324 ±135 and 356 ±108, respectively). However, significantly more dead flies were found around the trap with insecticide (92 ±53 with insecticide compared with 35 ±22 without), suggesting a possible decrease in trap efficiency due to mortality before insects enter the trap. Indeed, the average number of flies detected on all surfaces of the traps with insecticide was lower than that for lure-only (4.15±0.39 vs 8.30±1.18), and both were higher than control (no lure: 0.76 ±0.08). We found that the majority of fly sightings, 71% of the total, occurred on the inside panels of the lure-only traps, suggesting that increased efficiency of the Jackson trap may be obtained by adding a contact insecticide to those surfaces.

AB  - Evidence is emerging that plant-parasitic nematodes can secrete effectors to interfere with the host immune response, but it remains unknown how these effectors can conquer host immune responses. Here, we depict a novel effector, Mj TTL5, that could suppress plant immune response., Immunolocalization and transcriptional analyses showed that Mj TTL5 is expressed specifically within the subventral gland of Meloidogyne javanica and up-regulated in the early parasitic stage of the nematode. Transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing Mj TTL5 were significantly more susceptible to M. javanica infection than wild-type plants, and vice versa, in planta silencing of Mj TTL5 substantially increased plant resistance to M. javanica., Yeast two-hybrid, coimmunoprecipitation and bimolecular fluorescent complementation assays showed that Mj TTL5 interacts specifically with Arabidopsis ferredoxin : thioredoxin reductase catalytic subunit (At FTRc), a key component of host antioxidant system. The expression of At FTRc is induced by the infection of M. javanica. Interaction between At FTRc and Mj TTL could drastically increase host reactive oxygen species-scavenging activity, and result in suppression of plant basal defenses and attenuation of host resistance to the nematode infection., Our results demonstrate that the host ferredoxin : thioredoxin system can be exploited cunningly by M. javanica, revealing a novel mechanism utilized by plant-parasitic nematodes to subjugate plant innate immunity and thereby promoting parasitism.

AB  - Management of grape powdery mildew ( Erysiphe necator) and other polycyclic diseases often relies on calendar-based pesticide application schedules that assume the presence of inoculum. An inexpensive, loop-mediated isothermal amplification ( LAMP) assay was designed to quickly detect airborne inoculum of E. necator to determine when to initiate a fungicide application programme. Field efficacy was tested in 2010 and 2011 in several commercial and research vineyards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon from pre-bud break to véraison. In each vineyard, three impaction spore traps were placed adjacent to the trunk. One trap was maintained and used by the grower to conduct the LAMP assay (G- LAMP) on-site and the other two traps were used for laboratory-conducted LAMP (L- LAMP) and quantitative PCR assay ( qPCR). Using the qPCR as a gold standard, L- LAMP was comparable with qPCR in both years, and G- LAMP was comparable to qPCR in 2011. Latent class analysis indicated that qPCR had a true positive proportion of 98% in 2010 and 89% in 2011 and true negative proportion of 96% in 2010 and 64% in 2011. An average of 3·3 fewer fungicide applications were used when they were initiated based on spore detection relative to the grower standard practice. There were no significant differences in berry or leaf incidence between plots with fungicides initiated at detection or grower standard practice plots, suggesting that growers using LAMP to initiate fungicide applications can use fewer fungicide applications to manage powdery mildew compared to standard practices.

AB  - A study of two adjacent dairy farms, one using conventional confined herd management and the other organic management, revealed significant differences in the fatty acid composition of the milk. Compared with conventional milk, organic milk had higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid ( CLA) and α-linolenic acid (the major omega-3 fatty acid in milk), and less stearic and linoleic acid (the major omega-6 fatty acid in milk) during the spring-summer grazing season. When discarding geography and weather as variables, organic milk appears to yield more CLA and α-linolenic acid, which should be beneficial to health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The genome-wide heterozygosity at 9590 genes, all heterozygous in a single Eucalyptus grandis parent tree, was examined in a group of 28 S1 offspring. Heterozygosity ranged from 52-79%, averaging 65.5%, much higher than the 50% expected under random segregation, supporting the occurrence of strong (47%) selection against homozygosity. The expected pattern of heterozygosity from theoretical calculations and simulations for recessive detrimentals (pseudo-overdominance) and intrinsic heterozygote advantage was examined and compared with that observed. The observed patterns are consistent with at least several detrimental loci with large effects on both parental chromosomes of the 11 pairs. It is likely that 100 or more genes, many with substantial effects on viability, are contributing to this inbreeding depression. Although our genome-wide analysis of nearly 10 000 genes strongly suggested that pseudo-overdominance was responsible for the observed high inbreeding depression, heterozygote advantage could not be excluded. Finding inconvertible evidence of the cause of inbreeding depression still presents a difficult challenge. This study is the first theoretical examination of the genomic effect of inbreeding in a forest tree and provides an approach to analyze these data to determine the extent and cause of inbreeding depression across other plant genomes.

N2  - Primary prevention education interventions, including those sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture for low-income families, encourage and support increases in vegetable intake. Promoting vegetable variety as a focal point for behavior change may be a useful strategy to increase vegetable consumption. A simple vegetable variety evaluation tool might be useful to replace the time-intensive 24-hour dietary recall. The purpose of our study was to determine whether vegetable variety is associated with vegetable consumption and diet quality among US Department of Agriculture program participants. Variety of vegetable intake and measures of total vegetable intake, diet quality, and diet cost were evaluated. Low-income, female participants (N=112) aged 20 to 55 years with body mass index 17.7 to 68.5 who were the primary food purchasers/preparers for their households were recruited from four California counties representing rural, urban, and suburban areas. Energy density and Healthy Eating Index-2005 were used to assess diet quality. Vegetable variety was based on number of different vegetables consumed per week using a food frequency questionnaire, and three groups were identified as: low variety, ≤5 different vegetables per week; moderate variety, 6 to 9 vegetables per week; and high variety, ≥10 vegetables per week. Compared with the low-variety group, participants in the high-variety group ate a greater quantity of vegetables per day (P&lt;0.001); their diets had a higher Healthy Eating Index score (P&lt;0.001) and lower energy density (P&lt;0.001); and costs of their daily diet and vegetable use were higher (P&lt;0.001). Thus, greater vegetable variety was related to better overall diet quality, a larger quantity of vegetables consumed, and increased diet cost.

N2  - Subclinical hypocalcemia may affect half of all multiparous cows, and clinical hypocalcemia or milk fever affects approximately 5% of dairy cows each year. This disorder of calcium homeostasis can be induced by several dietary factors. Recent studies implicate high dietary potassium and high dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) with increased risk of milk fever. The hypothesis tested in this study was that high-DCAD diets fed to prepartum cows reduce tissue sensitivity to parathyroid hormone (PTH), inducing a pseudohypoparathyroid state that diminishes calcium homeostatic responses. Multiparous Jersey cows were fed low- or high-DCAD diets in late gestation, creating a compensated metabolic alkalosis in the high-DCAD cows and a compensated metabolic acidosis in the low-DCAD cows. They then received synthetic PTH injections at 3-h intervals for 48 h. Parathyroid hormone is expected to cause an increase in plasma calcium by increasing renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and increasing bone calcium resorption. Plasma calcium concentration increased at a significantly lower rate in cows fed the high-DCAD diet. Cows fed the high-DCAD diet also produced significantly less 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in response to the PTH injections than cows fed the low-DCAD diet. Serum concentrations of the bone resorption marker carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen were numerically lower in cows fed the high-DCAD diet but this difference was not statistically significant. These data provide direct evidence that high-DCAD diets reduce tissue sensitivity to PTH. The metabolic alkalosis associated with high-DCAD diets likely induces a state of pseudohypoparathyroidism in some dairy cows at the onset of lactation, resulting in hypocalcemia and milk fever.

N2  - Background: Although serotype O157:H7 is the predominant enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), outbreaks of non-O157 EHEC that cause severe foodborne illness, including hemolytic uremic syndrome have increased worldwide. In fact, non-O157 serotypes are now estimated to cause over half of all the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cases, and outbreaks of non-O157 EHEC infections are frequently associated with serotypes O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145. Currently, there are no complete genomes for O145 in public databases. Results: We determined the complete genome sequences of two O145 strains (EcO145), one linked to a US lettuce-associated outbreak (RM13514) and one to a Belgium ice-cream-associated outbreak (RM13516). Both strains contain one chromosome and two large plasmids, with genome sizes of 5,737,294 bp for RM13514 and 5,559,008 bp for RM13516. Comparative analysis of the two EcO145 genomes revealed a large core (5,173 genes) and a considerable amount of strain-specific genes. Additionally, the two EcO145 genomes display distinct chromosomal architecture, virulence gene profile, phylogenetic origin of Stx2a prophage, and methylation profile (methylome). Comparative analysis of EcO145 genomes to other completely sequenced STEC and other E. coli and Shigella genomes revealed that, unlike any other known non-O157 EHEC strain, EcO145 ascended from a common lineage with EcO157/EcO55. This evolutionary relationship was further supported by the pangenome analysis of the 10 EHEC str ains. Of the 4,192 EHEC core genes, EcO145 shares more genes with EcO157 than with the any other non-O157 EHEC strains. Conclusions: Our data provide evidence that EcO145 and EcO157 evolved from a common lineage, but ultimately each serotype evolves via a lineage-independent nature to EHEC by acquisition of the core set of EHEC virulence factors, including the genes encoding Shiga toxin and the large virulence plasmid. The large variation between the two EcO145 genomes suggests a distinctive evolutionary path between the two outbreak strains. The distinct methylome between the two EcO145 strains is likely due to the presence of a BsuBI/PstI methyltransferase gene cassette in the Stx2a prophage of the strain RM13514, suggesting a role of horizontal gene transfer-mediated epigenetic alteration in the evolution of individual EHEC strains.

N2  - Meat and bone meal (MBM), an important by-product of the meat industry, is the ground, rendered remainder of farm animals after removal of the hide and meat. Most protein in MBM is insoluble, which limits its usefulness. Defatted, milled porcine MBM was subjected to saturating amounts of trypsin, a selective protease, and subtilisin, a protease with broad selectivity. Samples were withdrawn over a 48-h time course of hydrolysis and filtered to remove insoluble material. The rate at which the MBM protein was converted to a soluble form was equivalent for both proteases. Over the time course, trypsin generated fewer free amino groups than did subtilisin, and at a specified time, the molecular weight (MW) of the soluble trypsin hydrolysate was higher than that of the subtilisin hydrolysate. Assay of amino group formation showed that the proteases were still active even after soluble protein generation had ceased. The hydrolysates are useful for a variety of food and non-food uses. The hydrolysates were tested for flocculation activity in an ongoing effort to find sources for renewable flocculant. Kaolin flocculant activity was observed with the soluble fraction obtained before hydrolysis of MBM and also observed with the relatively high MW hydrolysates from short treatment with trypsin and subtilisin. Low MW fractions obtained from by subtilisin treatment at 30-48 h also showed kaolin-settling ability, probably through a coagulation or charge neutralisation process.

N2  - The main objective of this work was to compare infrared blanching (IRB) with water blanching (WB) as a pretreatment method for producing lower calorie French fries. It was observed that complete inactivation of polyphenol oxidase enzyme for 9.43 mm potato strips could be achieved in 200 s and 16 min by using IRB and WB, respectively. Following the blanching, the samples were deep-fat par-fried at 174°C for 1 min and were then deep-fat finish-fried at 146, 160, and 174°C for 2, 3, 4 and 5 min. At all frying times and temperatures infrared blanched samples had less oil content than water blanched ones. The energy analysis of both blanching operations showed that energy expenditure-wise the operation cost for pre-treating French fries with IRB would be head-to-head with WB. The final moisture contents of infrared and water blanched samples were between 40% and 50% after 5 min of finish-frying. The chromatic color components of infrared and water blanched samples were significantly (P&lt;0.05) affected by finish-frying time and temperature and the a* and b* values for infrared blanched samples developed faster than water blanched samples during deep-fat finish frying.

AB  - Gd5Ge3.9Al0.1 crystallizes in the Sm5Ge4-type structure at room temperature, but unlike the parent Gd5Ge4 that remains antiferromagnetic in a zero magnetic field down to at least 2 K, the ground state of the Al-substituted compound is ferromagnetic. The Curie temperature of Gd5Ge3.9Al0.1 is nearly the same as that of Gd5Ge4 in a 50 kOe magnetic field. The Griffiths-like phase behavior is observed in both Gd5Ge4 and Gd5Ge3.9Al0.1 compounds. Compared with Gd5Ge4, the Néel temperature of the aluminum-substituted compound decreases by 2 K, while the onset temperature of the Griffiths-like phase decreases by 5 K. Substitution of Al for Ge increases the magnetocaloric effect of Gd5Ge4, and the entropy change peak shifts from 41 K to 49 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND There is a need to minimize economic damage by sorting infected seeds from healthy seeds before seeding. However, current methods of detecting infected seeds, such as seedling grow-out, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the real-time PCR have a critical drawbacks in that they are time-consuming, labor-intensive and destructive procedures. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) hyperspectral imaging system for detecting bacteria-infected watermelon seeds. RESULTS A hyperspectral Vis/NIR reflectance imaging system (spectral region of 400-1000 nm) was constructed to obtain hyperspectral reflectance images for 336 bacteria-infected watermelon seeds, which were then subjected to partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and a least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to classify bacteria-infected watermelon seeds from healthy watermelon seeds. The developed system detected bacteria-infected watermelon seeds with an accuracy > 90% (PLS-DA: 91.7%, LS-SVM: 90.5%), suggesting that the Vis/NIR hyperspectral imaging system is effective for quarantining bacteria-infected watermelon seeds. CONCLUSION The results of the present study show that it is possible to use the Vis/NIR hyperspectral imaging system for detecting bacteria-infected watermelon seeds. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Miscanthus spp. are promising lignocellulosic energy crops, but cell wall recalcitrance to deconstruction still hinders their widespread use as bioenergy and biomaterial feedstocks. Identification of cell wall characteristics desirable for biorefining applications is crucial for lignocellulosic biomass improvement. However, the task of scoring biomass quality is often complicated by the lack of a reference for a given feedstock., A multidimensional cell wall analysis was performed to generate a reference profile for leaf and stem biomass from several miscanthus genotypes harvested at three developmentally distinct time points. A comprehensive suite of 155 monoclonal antibodies was used to monitor changes in distribution, structure and extractability of noncellulosic cell wall matrix glycans., Glycan microarrays complemented with immunohistochemistry elucidated the nature of compositional variation, and in situ distribution of carbohydrate epitopes. Key observations demonstrated that there are crucial differences in miscanthus cell wall glycomes, which may impact biomass amenability to deconstruction., For the first time, variations in miscanthus cell wall glycan components were comprehensively characterized across different harvests, organs and genotypes, to generate a representative reference profile for miscanthus cell wall biomass. Ultimately, this portrait of the miscanthus cell wall will help to steer breeding and genetic engineering strategies for the development of superior energy crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The structure of a novel compound from Adansonia digitata has been elucidated, and its 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been assigned employing a variety of one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR techniques without degradative chemistry. The Advanced Chemistry Development ACD/Structure Elucidator software was important for determining part of this structure that contained a fused bicyclic system with very few hydrogen atoms, which in turn, exhibited essentially no discriminating HMBC connectivities throughout that portion of the molecule.

AB  - For years, the development of classical biological has proven to be the most cost-effective and environmentally safe management tool for invasive species. Despite this, in the United States there are a number of political, regulatory and institutional challenges associated with the discovery stage, pre-release phase, and post-release monitoring that have restricted the full potential and the long-term success of many classical biological control programs. Among these needs, we provide recommendations for improved prioritization of specific projects, funding concerns, source countries issues, benefits sharing of biological control agents, shipping live agents, regulatory requirements and procedures, and engagement with the environmental community. We believe these recommendations and potential solutions will significantly improve the future effectiveness of classical biological control programs for the management of invasive species within the United States.

AB  - Monitoring of soils used for agriculture at frequent intervals is crucial to support decision making and refining soil policies especially in the context of climate change. Along with rainfall erosivity, soil coverage by vegetation or crop residues is the most dynamic factor affecting soil erosion. Parcel-specific soil coverage information can be derived by satellite imagery with high geometric resolution. However, their usable number is mostly, due to cloud cover, not representative for the phenological characteristics of vegetated classes. To overcome temporal constraints, spatial and temporal fusion models, such as STARFM, are increasingly applied to derive high-resolution time series of remotely sensed biophysical parameters, based on fine spatial/coarse temporal resolution imagery, such as Landsat, and coarse spatial/fine temporal resolution imagery, such as MODIS. In this context, the current study introduces an evaluation scheme for simulated vegetation index time series which enables the assessment of their performance during multiple phenological phases. The evaluation scheme is based on Germany-wide available spatial predictions of phenological phases as well as RapidEye imagery and parcel-specific crop-type information. The evaluation results show that the simulation accuracy is basically controlled by the temporal distance between MODIS and Landsat base pairs, as well as the ability of the actual Landsat image to properly represent the phenological phase of the Landsat image simulated by MODIS. In addition, we discuss the potential of simulated index times series and corresponding phenological information for the dynamic (1) definition of temporal windows where soils are potentially covered by no, sparse or dense vegetation or crop residues and (2) parameterization of soil erosion models. The database thus obtained opens up new possibilities for an efficient and dynamic erosion monitoring, which can support soil protection and hazard prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Accurate enhancer identification is critical for understanding the spatiotemporal transcriptional regulation during development as well as the functional impact of disease-related noncoding genetic variants. Computational methods have been developed to predict the genomic locations of active enhancers based on histone modifications, but the accuracy and resolution of these methods remain limited. Here, we present an algorithm, regulatory element prediction based on tissue-specific local epigenetic marks (REPTILE), which integrates histone modification and whole-genome cytosine DNA methylation profiles to identify the precise location of enhancers. We tested the ability of REPTILE to identify enhancers previously validated in reporter assays. Compared with existing methods, REPTILE shows consistently superior performance across diverse cell and tissue types, and the enhancer locations are significantly more refined. We show that, by incorporating base-resolution methylation data, REPTILE greatly improves upon current methods for annotation of enhancers across a variety of cell and tissue types.

AB  - Extreme high environmental temperatures produce a variety of consequences for wildlife, including mass die-offs. Heat waves are increasing in frequency, intensity, and extent, and are projected to increase further under climate change. However, the spatial and temporal dynamics of die-off risk are poorly understood. Here, we examine the effects of heat waves on evaporative water loss (EWL) and survival in five desert passerine birds across the southwestern United States using a combination of physiological data, mechanistically informed models, and hourly geospatial temperature data. We ask how rates of EWL vary with temperature across species; how frequently, over what areas, and how rapidly lethal dehydration occurs; how EWL and die-off risk vary with body mass; and how die-off risk is affected by climate warming. We find that smaller-bodied passerines are subject to higher rates of mass-specific EWL than larger-bodied counterparts and thus encounter potentially lethal conditions much more frequently, over shorter daily intervals, and over larger geographic areas. Warming by 4 °C greatly expands the extent, frequency, and intensity of dehydration risk, and introduces new threats for larger passerine birds, particularly those with limited geographic ranges. Our models reveal that increasing air temperatures and heat wave occurrence will potentially have important impacts on the water balance, daily activity, and geographic distribution of arid-zone birds. Impacts may be exacerbated by chronic effects and interactions with other environmental changes. This work underscores the importance of acute risks of high temperatures, particularly for small-bodied species, and suggests conservation of thermal refugia and water sources.

AB  - Wildfire is a natural disturbance, though elemental losses and changes that occur during combustion and post-fire erosion can have long-term impacts on soil properties, ecosystem productivity, and watershed condition. Here we evaluate the potential of forest residue-based materials to rehabilitate burned soils. We compare soil nutrient and water availability, and plant recovery after application of 37 t ha−1 of wood mulch, 20 t ha−1 of biochar, and the combination of the two amendments with untreated, burned soils. We also conducted a greenhouse trial to examine how biochar influenced soil nutrient and water content under two wetting regimes. The effects of wood mulch on plant-available soil N and water content were significant and seasonally consistent during the three-year field study. Biochar applied alone had few effects under field conditions, but significantly increased soil pH, Ca, P, and water in the greenhouse. The mulched biochar treatment had the greatest effects on soil N and water availability and increased cover of the most abundant native plant. We found that rehabilitation treatments consisting of forest residue-based products have potential to enhance soil N and water dynamics and plant recovery following severe wildfire and may be justified where erosion risk or water supply protection are crucial.

AB  - Background: The capacity of fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, to degrade lignocellulose is harnessed in biotechnology to generate biofuels and high-value compounds from renewable feedstocks. Most feedstocks are currently pretreated to increase enzymatic digestibility: improving our understanding of the transcriptomic responses of fungi to pretreated lignocellulosic substrates could help to improve the mix of activities and reduce the production costs of commercial lignocellulose saccharifying cocktails. Results: We investigated the responses of A. niger to untreated, ionic liquid and hydrothermally pretreated wheat straw over a 5-day time course using RNA-seq and targeted proteomics. The ionic liquid pretreatment altered the cellulose crystallinity while retaining more of the hemicellulosic sugars than the hydrothermal pretreatment. Ionic liquid pretreatment of straw led to a dynamic induction and repression of genes, which was correlated with the higher levels of pentose sugars saccharified from the ionic liquid-pretreated straw. Hydrothermal pretreatment of straw led to reduced levels of transcripts of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes as well as the derived proteins and enzyme activities. Both pretreatments abolished the expression of a large set of genes encoding pectinolytic enzymes. These reduced levels could be explained by the removal of parts of the lignocellulose by the hydrothermal pretreatment. The time course also facilitated identification of temporally limited gene induction patterns. Conclusions: The presented transcriptomic and biochemical datasets demonstrate that pretreatments caused modifications of the lignocellulose, to both specific structural features as well as the organisation of the overall lignocellulosic structure, that determined A. niger transcript levels. The experimental setup allowed reliable detection of substrate-specific gene expression patterns as well as hitherto non-expressed genes. Our data suggest beneficial effects of using untreated and IL-pretreated straw, but not HT-pretreated straw, as feedstock for CAZyme production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Arabidopsis thaliana has been widely used as a model plant to study acyl lipid metabolism. Seeds of A. thaliana are quite small (approximately 500 × 300 μm and weigh ~ 20 μg), making lipid compositional analyses of single seeds difficult to achieve. Here we have used matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) to map and visualize the three-dimensional spatial distributions of two common membrane phospholipid classes, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylinositol (PI), in single A. thaliana seeds. The 3D images revealed distinct differences in distribution of several molecular species of both phospholipids among different seed tissues. Using data from these 3D reconstructions, the PC and PI mol% lipid profiles were calculated for the embryonic axis, cotyledons, and peripheral endosperm, and these data agreed well with overall quantification of these lipids in bulk seed extracts analyzed by conventional electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In addition, MALDI-MSI was used to profile PC and PI molecular species in seeds of wild type, fad2–1 , fad3–2 , fad6–1 , and fae1–1 acyl lipid mutants. The resulting distributions revealed previously unobserved changes in spatial distribution of several lipid molecular species, and were used to suggest new insights into biochemical heterogeneity of seed lipid metabolism. These studies highlight the value of mass spectrometry imaging to provide unprecedented spatial and chemical resolution of metabolites directly in samples even as small as a single A. thaliana seeds, and allow for expanded imaging of plant metabolites to improve our understanding of plant lipid metabolism from a spatial perspective.

AB  - Background. We aimed to define the relative importance of renal and endocrine changes in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-related bone toxicity. Methods. In a study of daily TDF/emtricitabine (FTC) preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected young men who have sex with men, we measured changes from baseline in blood and urine markers of the parathyroid hormone (PTH)-vitamin D-fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) axis, creatinine, and renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP). We explored the relationship of those variables to changes in bone mineral density (BMD). Tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) in red blood cells was used to categorize participants into high and low drug exposure groups. Results. There were 101 participants, median age 20 years (range 15 to 22). Compared with low drug exposure, high-exposure participants showed increase from baseline in PTH and decline in FGF23 by study week 4, with no differences in creatinine, phosphate, or TRP. At 48 weeks, the median (interquartile range) percent decline in total hip BMD was greater in those with high- compared to low- exposure (-1.59 [2.77] vs +1.54 [3.34] %, respectively; P = .001); in high-exposure participants, this correlated with week 4 TFV-DP (inversely; r = -0.60, P = .002) and FGF23 (directly; r = 0.42; P = .039) but not other variables. Conclusions. These findings support the short-term renal safety of TDF/FTC PrEP in HIV-seronegative young men and suggest that endocrine disruption (PTH-FGF23) is a primary contributor to TDF-associated BMD decline in this age group.

AB  - Ethiopia faces high risk of soil carbon depletion for nearly half of its total land mass largely due to forest clearing and continuous cultivation. Conversion of natural ecosystems to cultivated agriculture resulted in losses of between 20 and 50% of the soil C stocks in the first meter of the soil depth. Dry Afromontane forests of northern Ethiopia have faced vast exploitation, and almost all these forests have been converted to agricultural lands affecting the functionality and stability of agroecosystem. Here, we studied the effect of land use-land cover changes on soil organic C, total N, and soil C sequestration. Specifically, (a) we characterized major soils of the Desa'a Dry Afromontane forest, northern Ethiopia, and (b) we analyzed the organic C and total N contents of soils with varying land use-land cover types of the Desa'a Dry Afromontane forest. Results show that soil organic C (1.9%) and total N (0.3%) were higher for the middle landscape position than that observed for the upper and lower landscape positions. Soil organic C that ranged from 1.2 in farmland to 2.3% in dense forest also varied with land use-land cover types. Concentration of soil organic C was different among dense forest (2.3%), open forest (1.7%), grazing land (1.6%), and farmland (1.2%). Due to the effect of land use-land cover types, soil total N varied from 0.2% in the farmland to 0.3% in the dense forest. The soil organic C and total nitrogen of the top and lower layer soils were 2.0 and 1.5 and 0.2 and 0.3%, respectively. The soil organic C sequestration for dense forest was significantly higher (48.5 t ha) than that of grassland, open forest, and farm land. The top soil sequestered higher soil organic C (44.9 t ha) than the lower soil layer. Thus, the top soil layers of dense forest at the middle landscape positions stored significant amount of soil organic carbon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Evidence indicates that, despite some critical successes, current conservation approaches are not slowing the overall rate of biodiversity loss. The field of synthetic biology, which is capable of altering natural genomes with extremely precise editing, might offer the potential to resolve some intractable conservation problems (e.g., invasive species or pathogens). However, it is our opinion that there has been insufficient engagement by the conservation community with practitioners of synthetic biology. We contend that rapid, large-scale engagement of these two communities is urgently needed to avoid unintended and deleterious ecological consequences. To this point we describe case studies where synthetic biology is currently being applied to conservation, and we highlight the benefits to conservation biologists from engaging with this emerging technology.

AB  - A model capable of simulating proppant transport through hydraulic fracture network is developed and summarized in this paper. The proppant transport model (PTM) is able to capture multiple proppant transport patterns, including suspension, saltation and creeping. These patterns are first identified, and then quantified to establish proppant transport equations. The governing equations are programed into a three-dimensional, finite-difference model to simulate the proppant transport process. The PTM is coupled to a previously developed hydraulic fracture network propagation model, which updates essential input parameters such as fracture geometry, velocity distribution and pressure profile for each step. In every step, the proppant transport model extracts values for these parameters and solves the mass transport equations for all three patterns. Finally, the PTM generates proppant concentration, fracture conductivity and distribution throughout the created fracture network and predicts, at the end of the designed treatment the propped stimulated reservoir volume (PSRV) – a critical indicator of long-term stimulation effectiveness for hydraulically fractured oil/gas reservoirs. Parametric Studies of several important treatment, operational, reservoir, and geomechanical parameters are done in this paper to illustrate the impact of each factor on the PSRV.

AB  - Sporadic avian to human transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) viruses necessitates the analysis of currently circulating and evolving clades to assess their potential risk. Following the spread and sustained circulation of clade 2 viruses across multiple continents, numerous subclades and genotypes have been described. To better understand the pathogenesis associated with the continued diversification of clade 2 A(H5N1) influenza viruses, we investigated the relative virulence of eleven human and poultry isolates collected from 2006 to 2013 by determining their ability to cause disease in the ferret model. Numerous clade 2 viruses, including a clade 2.2 avian isolate, a 2.2.2.1 human isolate, and two 2.2.1 human isolates, were found to be of low virulence in the ferret model, though lethality was detected following infection with one 2.2.1 human isolate. In contrast, three of six clade 2.3.2.1 avian isolates tested led to severe disease and death among infected ferrets. Clade 2.3.2.1b and 2.3.2.1c isolates, but not 2.3.2.1a isolates, were associated with ferret lethality. All A(H5N1) viruses replicated efficiently in the respiratory tract of ferrets regardless of their virulence and lethality. However, lethal isolates were characterized by systemic viral dissemination, including detection in the brain and enhanced histopathology in lung tissues. The finding of disparate virulence phenotypes between clade 2 A(H5N1) viruses, notably differences between subclades of 2.3.2.1 viruses, suggests there are distinct molecular determinants present within the established subclades, the identification of which will assist in molecular-based surveillance and public health efforts against A(H5N1) viruses.

AB  - A total of 85 fecal samples from captive birds collected from October 2013 to September 2014 in Uberlândia and Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil) were evaluated for the presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia by PCR. Of these, three birds were found positive for E. bieneusi (3.5%), two for Cryptosporidium (2.3%), and one for Giardia (1.2%). Two genotypes of E. bieneusi were detected by nucleotide sequence analysis of the ITS region, genotypes D and Peru 6 in a swan goose and in two rock pigeons, respectively. For Cryptosporidium and Giardia, nucleotide sequence analysis of the SSU rRNA identified Cryptosporidium baileyi and Duck genotype in a swan goose and a mandarin duck, respectively, and Giardia duodenalis assemblage A in a toco toucon. Our results demonstrate that human-pathogenic E. bieneusi genotypes D and Peru6 and G. duodenalis assemblage A are present in captive birds in Brazil, corroborating their potential role as a source of human infection and environmental contamination.

AB  - Volatilization represents a significant loss pathway for many pesticides, herbicides and other agrochemicals. One common method for measuring the volatilization of agrochemicals is the flux-gradient method. Using this method, the chemical flux is estimated as the product of the vertical concentration gradient and a turbulent-transfer coefficient (eddy diffusivity). For computational simplicity, the evaluation height needed to calculate the eddy diffusivity is typically approximated as either the geometric or logarithmic mean. Both of these estimation methods are based on simplifying assumptions and can be a significant source of error, particularly when the separation distance between the measurement heights is large. Using data collected over an eight-year period at the USDA-ARS OPE3 experimental watershed, this study compared fluxes of metolachlor, a commonly-used herbicide, computed using the approximated evaluation heights with those calculated using the exact evaluation height. While it was found that the primary factor influencing the accuracy of the flux estimates using the approximate evaluation heights was atmospheric stability, errors in the estimate of the evaluation height can result in significant (>10%) errors in the flux estimates. Based on these results, it is recommended that the exact evaluation height be used with the flux-gradient technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over the last decade, a wide variety of new foods have been introduced into the global marketplace, many with health benefits that exceed those of traditional foods. Simultaneously, a wide range of analytical technologies has evolved that allow greater capability for the determination of food composition. Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR), traditionally a research tool used for structural elucidation, is now being used frequently for metabolomics and chemical fingerprinting. Its stability and inherent ease of quantification have been exploited extensively to identify and quantify bioactive components in foods and dietary supplements.

AB  - We assessed whether coal tar present in contaminated streambed sediments can be mobilized by flood events and be re-deposited in an adjacent floodplain. The study was conducted within a contaminated urban stream where coal tar wastes were released into a 4-km reach from a coke plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. Sediments containing visible amounts of coal tar were dredged from the streambed in 1997–98 and 2007 as part of a cleanup effort. However, post-dredging sampling indicated that very high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) remained in streambed sediments. Sampling of sediments in the floodplain at two sites downstream of the coke plant indicated that high concentrations of PAHs were also present in the floodplain, even though no coal tar was observed in the samples. Age-dating of the floodplain sediments using 137 Cs indicated that peak PAH concentrations were contemporary with coke plant operations. While there was little or any direct contamination of the floodplain sediments by coal tar, sediment contamination was likely a result of deposition of suspended streambed sediments containing sorbed PAHs. A flood model developed to delineate the extent of flooding in various flood recurrence scenarios confirmed the potential for contaminated streambed sediments to be transported into the adjacent floodplain. It was hypothesized that coal tar, which was visibly “sticky” during dredging-based stream cleanup, may act as a binding agent for streambed sediments, decreasing mobility and transport in the stream. Therefore, coal tar is likely to remain a persistent contaminant source for downstream reaches of the stream and the adjacent floodplain during flood events. This study also showed that even after excavation of tar-rich streambed sediments, PAH contaminated non-tarry sediments may be a source of flood-related contamination in the adjacent flood plain. A conceptual framework was developed to delineate specific mechanisms that can mobilize contamination from stream sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Photosynthetic microalgae are considered a viable and sustainable resource for biofuel feedstocks, because they can produce higher biomass per land area than plants and can be grown on non-arable land. Among many microalgae considered for biofuel production, Nannochloropsis oceanica (CCMP1779) is particularly promising, because following nutrient deprivation it produces very high amounts of triacylglycerols (TAG). The committed step in TAG synthesis is catalyzed by acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT). Remarkably, a total of 13 putative DGAT-encoding genes have been previously identified in CCMP1779 but most have not yet been studied in detail. Results: Based on their expression profile, six out of 12 type-2 DGAT-encoding genes (NoDGTT1-NoDGTT6) were chosen for their possible role in TAG biosynthesis and the respective cDNAs were expressed in a TAG synthesis-deficient mutant of yeast. Yeast expressing NoDGTT5 accumulated TAG to the highest level. Over-expression of NoDGTT5 in CCMP1779 grown in N-replete medium resulted in levels of TAG normally observed only after N deprivation. Reduced growth rates accompanied NoDGTT5 over-expression in CCMP1779. Constitutive expression of NoDGTT5 in Arabidopsis thaliana was accompanied by increased TAG content in seeds and leaves. A broad substrate specificity for NoDGTT5 was revealed, with preference for unsaturated acyl groups. Furthermore, NoDGTT5 was able to successfully rescue the Arabidopsis tag1-1 mutant by restoring the TAG content in seeds. Conclusions: Taken together, our results identified NoDGTT5 as the most promising gene for the engineering of TAG synthesis in multiple hosts among the 13 DGAT-encoding genes of N. oceanica CCMP1779. Consequently, this study demonstrates the potential of NoDGTT5 as a tool for enhancing the energy density in biomass by increasing TAG content in transgenic crops used for biofuel production.

AB  - Orchids are highly dependent on their mycorrhizal fungal partners for nutrient supply, especially during early developmental stages. In addition to organic carbon, nitrogen (N) is probably a major nutrient transferred to the plant because orchid tissues are highly N-enriched. We know almost nothing about the N form preferentially transferred to the plant or about the key molecular determinants required for N uptake and transfer., We identified, in the genome of the orchid mycorrhizal fungus Tulasnella calospora, two functional ammonium transporters and several amino acid transporters but found no evidence of a nitrate assimilation system, in agreement with the N preference of the free-living mycelium grown on different N sources., Differential expression in symbiosis of a repertoire of fungal and plant genes involved in the transport and metabolism of N compounds suggested that organic N may be the main form transferred to the orchid host and that ammonium is taken up by the intracellular fungus from the apoplatic symbiotic interface., This is the first study addressing the genetic determinants of N uptake and transport in orchid mycorrhizas, and provides a model for nutrient exchanges at the symbiotic interface, which may guide future experiments.

AB  - The structural ordering at solid-liquid interfaces far from equilibrium is studied with molecular dynamics simulations for the Al-Sm system. Using the van-Hove self-correlation function as the criterion to identify attachment/detachment events that occur at the interface, we are able to determine the time-dependent interface position, and characterize the detailed interfacial structure ordering surrounding the attached atoms. For the interface between an undercooled Al 90 Sm 10 liquid and a metastable cubic structure, the solid induces the crystalline order of the cubic phase in the liquid layers, promoting the continuous growth of the crystal phase. When the same liquid is put in contact with f.c.c. Al, Sm from the liquid can still attach to the solid interface despite its insolubility in the Al lattice. Non-f.c.c. order is revealed surrounding the attached Sm atoms. We show that the local structure ordering at interface is highly correlated to solid packing and liquid ordering.

AB  - Coyote ( Canis latrans) spatial and social ecology are variable, but have been little studied in high-elevation environments. In these temperate ecosystems, large ungulates are prevalent and coyote pack size may be large in order for them to scavenge and defend ungulate carcasses from conspecifics in neighboring packs. We initiated a study to understand the spatial and social ecology of coyotes on the Valles Caldera National Preserve, a high-elevation (2450-3400 m) protected area in northern New Mexico. Our objectives were to (1) describe the home range size and habitat use of coyotes in the preserve, (2) describe coyote movements within and outside of packs, and (3) to evaluate the relationship between coyote social cohesion and the amount of elk ( Cervus elaphus) in the coyote diet. We acquired global positioning system and telemetry locations from 33 coyotes from August 2005 to July 2009. We classified 23 coyotes (70 % of individuals) as residents (i.e., territorial) during at least part of the study and ten coyotes (30 %) as transients. Overall mean home range size of resident packs was 10.6 ± 2.2 (SD) km. Home range size varied between packs, but did not vary by season or year. Coyotes used dry and wet meadow habitats as expected based on availability; coyotes used riparian habitat more than expected, and forests less than expected. Social cohesion did not vary among biological seasons. Alpha coyotes were more socially cohesive with each other than with other pack members, and a transient exhibited temporal-spatial avoidance of pack members while inside the pack's territory followed by integration into the pack. Contrary to expectations, we found no relationship between coyote social cohesion and the proportion of elk in coyote diets. We concluded that coyote space use and sociality on the preserve were relatively stable year-round despite changes in biological needs, snow depth, and utilization of variously sized prey.

AB  - Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic food-borne pathogen isolated from powdered infant formula (PIF), follow-up formula (FUF) and a variety of foods. Two different methods were used for the isolation of Cronobacter spp. from baby food ingredients, PIF and FUF in this study. Each presumptive C. sakazakii isolate was then subjected to identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The prevalence of C. sakazakii was 7.5% and the number of C. sakazakii was between 7 and 15 MPN/g in milk and whey powders. Cedecea lapagei was detected in PIF for the first time in this study. Other pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli , Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. were not detected in the samples. Cedecea lapagei is also an opportunistic pathogen and was found in PIF and thus, care must be taken and effective control measures should be applied in the production of PIF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Human cystic echinococcosis (CE) has been considered to be caused predominantly by Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (the dog-sheep strain). Molecular approaches on CE, however, have revealed that human cases are also commonly caused by another species, Echinococcus canadensis . All indices for classification and standardization of CE pathology including available images, epidemiology, diagnostics and treatment are currently based largely on a mixture of infections which include at least E. granulosus s.s. and E. canadensis . Involvement of other species of Echinococcus in CE including E. ortleppi or otherwise cryptic diversity demonstrated recently in Africa requires further elucidation. Molecular identification of the causative species in CE cases is essential for better understanding of pathogenesis and disease. This article stresses the importance of molecular species identification of human CE as a foundation for re-evaluation of evidence-based epidemiology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - North American soybean breeders have successfully developed a large number of elite cultivars with diverse maturity groups (MG) from a small number of ancestral landraces. To understand molecular and genetic basis underlying the large variation in their maturity and flowering times, we integrated pedigree and maturity data of 166 cultivars representing North American soybean breeding. Network analysis and visualization of their pedigree relationships revealed a clear separation of southern and northern soybean breeding programs, suggesting that little genetic exchange occurred between northern (MG 0-IV) and southern cultivars (MG V-VIII). We also analyzed the transcript sequence and expression levels of four major maturity genes ( E1 to E4) and revealed their allelic variants in 75 major ancestral landraces and milestone cultivars. We observed that e1-as was the predominant e mutant allele in northern genotypes, followed by e2 and e3. There was no allelic variation at E4. Transcript accumulation of the e2 mutant allele was significantly reduced, which might be caused by its premature stop codon triggering the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway. The large DNA deletion generating the e3 mutant allele also created a gene fusion transcript. The e alleles found in milestone cultivars were traced through pedigrees to their ancestral landraces and geographic origins. Our analysis revealed an approximate correlation between dysfunctional alleles and maturity groups for most of the 75 cultivars. However, single e mutant alleles and their combinations were not sufficient to fully explain their maturity diversity, suggesting that additional genes/alleles are likely involved in regulating maturity time.

AB  - This paper is the summation of several analyses to assess the size and benefits of a Billion Ton Bioeconomy, a vision to enable a sustainable market for producing and converting a billion tons of US biomass to bio-based energy, fuels, and products by 2030. Two alternative biomass availability scenarios in 2030, defined as the (i) Business-as-usual (598 million dry tons) and (ii) Billion Ton (1042 million dry tons), establish a range of possible outcomes for the future bioeconomy. The biomass utilized in the current (2014) (365 million dry tons) economy is estimated to displace approximately 2.4% of fossil energy consumption and avoid 116 million tons of CO2-equivalent ( CO2e) emissions, whereas the Billion Ton bioeconomy of 2030 could displace 9.5% of fossil energy consumption and avoid as much as 446 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually. Developing the integrated systems, supply chains, and infrastructure to efficiently grow, harvest, transport, and convert large quantities of biomass in a sustainable way could support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Bio-based activities in the current (2014) economy are estimated to have directly generated more than $48 billion in revenue and 285 000 jobs. Our estimates show that developing biomass resources and addressing current limitations to achieve a Billion Ton bioeconomy could expand direct bioeconomy revenue by a factor of 5 to contribute nearly $259 billion and 1.1 million jobs to the US economy by 2030. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Blow flies are commonly associated with decomposing material. In most cases, the larvae are found feeding on decomposing vertebrate remains; however, some species have specialized to feed on living tissue or can survive on other alternate resources like feces. Because of their affiliation with such septic environments, these insects have close associations with microbes. Historically, a tremendous amount of research focused on these insects due to their veterinary importance. Within the past 40 yr, efforts have expanded this research to include areas such as systems ecology, forensics, and even wound debridement (maggot) therapy. Initial research efforts examining the relationship between microbes and these insects were hampered by the technology available. However, with the advent of high-throughput sequencing and modern molecular techniques, new avenues of research examining these interactions have opened up. The purpose of this article is to highlight the research exploring the interactions between microbes and blow flies with regards to blow fly biology, the application of such information to benefit humanity, and potential future pathways of research.

AB  - There is an increasing interest in applying the technology of electrospinning for making ultrafine fibers from biopolymers for food-grade applications, and using pullulan (PUL) as a carrier to improve the electrospinnability of proteins and other naturally occurring polyelectrolytes. In this study, PUL solutions containing NaCl or Na3C6H5O7 at different concentrations were electrospun. The inclusion of salts interrupted the hydrogen bonding and altered solution properties, such as viscosity, electric conductivity, and surface tension, as well as physical properties of fibers thus obtained, such as appearance, size, and melting point. The exogenous Na+ associated to the oxygen in the C6 position of PUL as suggested by FTIR measurement and was maintained during electrospinning. Bead-free PUL fibers could be electrospun from PUL solution (8%, w/v) in the presence of a 0.20MNaCl (124 ± 34 nm) or 0.05MNa3C6H5O7 (154 ± 36 nm). The further increase of NaCl or Na3C6H5O7 resulted in fibers that were flat with larger diameter sizes and defects. SEM also showed excess salt adhering on the surfaces of PUL fibers. Since most food processing is not carried out in pure water, information obtained through the present research is useful for the development of electrospinning biopolymers for food-grade applications.

AB  - The influence of thermal cycling on the microstructure, magnetic phase transition and magnetic entropy change of a Gd 5 Si 1.3 Ge 2.7 thin film up to 1000 cycles is investigated. The authors found that after 1000 cycles a strong reduction of the crystallographic phase responsible for the magnetostructural transition (Orthorhombic II phase) occurs. This is attributed to chemical disorder, caused by the large number of expansion/compression cycles that the Orthorhombic II phase undergoes across the magnetostructural transition. The suppression of the magnetostructural transition corresponds to a drastic decrease of the thin film magnetic entropy change. These results reveal the importance of studying the thermal/magnetic cycles influence on magnetostructural transitions as they can damage a real-life device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lake extent is an indicator of water capacity as well as the aquatic ecological and environmental conditions. Due to the small sizes and rapid water dynamics, monitoring the extent of small lakes fluctuating between 2.5 and 30 km² require observations with both high spatial and temporal resolutions. The paper applied an improved surface reflectance (SR) downscaling method (i.e., IMAR (Improved Modified Adaptive Regression model)) to downscale the daily SR acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra platform to a consistent 250-m resolution, and derived monthly water extent of four small lakes in the Tibetan Plateau (Longre Co, Ayonggongma Co, Ayonggama Co, and Ayongwama Co)) from 2000 to 2014. Using Landsat ETM+ acquired on the same date, the downscaled MODIS SR and identified water extent were compared to the original MODIS, observations downscaled using an early SR downscaling method (MAR (Modified Adaptive Regression model)) and Wavelet fusion. The results showed IMAR achieved the highest correlation coefficients (R²) (0.89-0.957 for SR and 0.79-0.933 for water extent). The errors in the derived water extents were significantly decreased comparing to the results of MAR andWavelet fusion, and lakes morphometry of IMAR is more comparable to Landsat results. The detected lake extents dynamic between 2000 and 2014 were analyzed using the trend and season decomposition model (BFAST), indicating an increasing trend after 2005, and it likely had higher correlations with temperature and precipitation variation in the Tibetan region (R²: 0.598-0.728 and 0.61-0.735, respectively).

AB  - Microbial contamination and mold growth are common causes of strawberry deterioration during storage. The growing need for extending shelf-life while enhancing the overall quality of perishable fruits has generated increasing interest in the development of novel preservation technologies. This study used electrostatic spraying (ES) technology as an innovative and efficient technique for the application of edible alginate coating enriched with carvacrol and methyl cinnamate (natural antimicrobials) on fresh strawberries. The efficiency of the electrostatic technology was compared to non-electrostatic (conventional) spray (NES) technology in terms of transfer efficiency and coating evenness. Furthermore, physicochemical and textural parameters (such as weight loss, visible decay, firmness, surface color, total soluble phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity) of ES and NES coated fruits were studied and compared to uncoated controls. ES technology demonstrated higher transfer efficiency and evenness than NES, which led to a significant reduction of visible decay over uncoated controls. The delay in microbial spoilage by ES (11 days) was greater than by NES (10 days) and uncoated strawberries (7 days). ES coating significantly inhibited strawberry decay with only 5.6 % of infected fruits, compared to 16.6 and 8.3 % for control and NES fruits after 13 days of storage, respectively. At the end of 13 days of storage, ES coating demonstrated superior performance on strawberry firmness, color retention, and weight loss reduction. Additionally, no differences were observed between uncoated and coated fruits with regard to their antioxidant and total soluble phenolics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: Using a taste-test competition in an elementary school lunchroom, researchers sought to increase consumption of select vegetables. Methods: Overall, 1030 students in a large urban school district participated in the study. The percentage of students who consumed the target vegetable was measured and compared between the experimental and control schools using a logistic regression framework. Results: There was a significant increase for all 3 vegetables in schools that conducted the taste-test competition. An odds ratio demonstrated that after the second follow-up, students were 2 to 7.2 times more likely to consume the vegetables. Conclusion: Using a taste-test competition may be a feasible and sustainable approach to engage students in their food selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The dependence of the magnetostrictive properties of cobalt ferrite on the size distribution of the powder used in deriving the samples from traditional ceramic approach is presented. Sample obtained by combining the smallest and largest particle size distributions gave the highest magnetostriction and strain sensitivity (216 ppm and 1.34 nm/A, respectively), for measurement in parallel direction but the least (66 ppm and 0.38 nm/A respectively) in perpendicular direction. Sample derived from largest particle size distribution gave the least magnetostriction and strain sensitivity (147 ppm and 0.61 nm/A, respectively) in parallel direction but the highest (126 ppm and 0.5 nm/A, respectively) in the perpendicular direction.

AB  - The wasp Anisopteromalus calandrae is a small ectoparasitoid that attacks stored product pest beetle larvae that develop inside grain kernels, and is thus a potential insect control tool. The components of A. calandrae venom have not been studied, but venom from other organisms contains proteins with potential applications, such as pest management tools and treatments for human diseases. We dissected female A. calandrae and collected venom and associated glands. Using high throughput sequencing, a venom gland transcriptome was assembled that contained 45,432 contigs, 25,726 of which had BLASTx hits. The majority of hits were to Nasonia vitripennis, an ectoparasitoid from the same taxonomic family, as well as other bees, wasps, and ants. Gene ontology grouped sequences into eleven molecular functions, among which binding and catalytic activity had the most representatives. In this study, we highlighted the most abundant sequences, including those that are likely the functional components of the venom. Specifically, we focused on genes encoding proteins potentially involved in host developmental arrest, disrupting the host immune system, host paralysis, and transcripts that support these functions. Our report is the first to characterize components of the A. calandrae venom gland that may be useful as control tools for insect pests and other applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Coral surface mucus layer (SML) microbiota are critical components of the coral holobiont and play important roles in nutrient cycling and defense against pathogens. We sequenced 16S rRNA amplicons to examine the structure of the SML microbiome within and between colonies of the threatened Caribbean reef-building coral Acropora palmata in the Florida Keys. Samples were taken from three spatially distinct colony regions—uppermost (high irradiance), underside (low irradiance), and the colony base—representing microhabitats that vary in irradiance and water flow. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) values of coral SML bacteria communities were greater than surrounding seawater and lower than adjacent sediment. Bacterial diversity and community composition was consistent among the three microhabitats. Cyanobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Alphaproteobacteria, and Proteobacteria, respectively were the most abundant phyla represented in the samples. This is the first time spatial variability of the surface mucus layer of A. palmata has been studied. Homogeneity in the microbiome of A. palmata contrasts with SML heterogeneity found in other Caribbean corals. These findings suggest that, during non-stressful conditions, host regulation of SML microbiota may override diverse physiochemical influences induced by the topographical complexity of A. palmata. Documenting the spatial distribution of SML microbes is essential to understanding the functional roles these microorganisms play in coral health and adaptability to environmental perturbations.

AB  - Extracellular proteins play crucial roles in the interaction between mycorrhizal fungi and their environment. Computational prediction and experimental detection allowed identification of 869 proteins constituting the exoproteome of Hebeloma cylindrosporum. Small secreted proteins ( SSPs) and carbohydrate-active enzymes ( CAZymes) were the two major classes of extracellular proteins., Twenty-eight per cent of the SSPs were secreted by free-living mycelia and five of the 10 most abundant extracellular proteins were SSPs. By contrast, 63-75% of enzymes involved in nutrient acquisition were secreted., A total of 150 extracellular protein-coding genes were differentially expressed between mycorrhizas and free-living mycelia. SSPs were the most affected. External environmental conditions also affected expression of 199 exoproteome genes in mycorrhizas. SSPs displayed different patterns of regulation in response to presence of a host plant or other environmental signals. Several of the genes most overexpressed in the presence of organic matter encoded oxidoreductases., Hebeloma cylindrosporum has not fully lost its ancestral saprotrophic capacities but rather adapted them not to harm its hosts and to use soil organic nitrogen. The complex and divergent patterns of regulation of SSPs in response to a symbiotic partner and/or organic matter suggest various roles in the biology of mycorrhizal fungi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <bold>Aim: </bold>Shiga toxins are delivered via systemic circulation and are considered to be the cause of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), as they injure endothelial cells, particularly in the glomeruli. This study measured Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in the serum of children affected in by HUS due to Stx2 producing Escherichia coli.<bold>Methods: </bold>The concentration of free Stx2 was measured in the serum of 16 children, collected immediately after admission to the clinic in the acute phase of HUS, using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The family members of two children were also investigated, with the relative toxicity of Stx2 assessed by a Vero cell-based fluorescent assay.<bold>Results: </bold>Stx2 was found in the serum of eight of the 16 children who were investigated. It was also detected in four of the six family members not showing symptomatic HUS, with an extremely high level in two.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>An absent or rather low concentration of Stx2 was found in the serum of children admitted to the clinic with diarrhoea-associated HUS. The high concentration of Stx2 in family members without HUS, but mostly with watery diarrhoea and raised functional activity, was in line with the concept of early injury by Stx2.

AB  - Diapause is the key adaptation allowing insects to survive unfavourable conditions and inhabit an array of environments. Physiological changes during diapause are largely conserved across species and are hypothesized to be regulated by a conserved suite of genes (a 'toolkit'). Furthermore, it is hypothesized that in social insects, this toolkit was co-opted to mediate caste differentiation between long-lived, reproductive, diapause-capable queens and short-lived, sterile workers. Using Bombus terrestris queens, we examined the physiological and transcriptomic changes associated with diapause and CO2 treatment, which causes queens to bypass diapause. We performed comparative analyses with genes previously identified to be associated with diapause in the Dipteran Sarcophaga crassipalpis and with caste differentiation in bumble bees. As in Diptera, diapause in bumble bees is associated with physiological and transcriptional changes related to nutrient storage, stress resistance and core metabolic pathways. There is a significant overlap, both at the level of transcript and gene ontology, between the genetic mechanisms mediating diapause in B. terrestris and S. crassipalpis, reaffirming the existence of a conserved insect diapause genetic toolkit. However, a substantial proportion (10%) of the differentially regulated transcripts in diapausing queens have no clear orthologs in other species, and key players regulating diapause in Diptera (juvenile hormone and vitellogenin) appear to have distinct functions in bumble bees. We also found a substantial overlap between genes related to caste determination and diapause in bumble bees. Thus, our studies demonstrate an intriguing interplay between pathways underpinning adaptation to environmental extremes and the evolution of sociality in insects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Melon fruit flesh color is primarily controlled by the "golden" single nucleotide polymorhism of the "Orange" gene, CmOr, which dominantly triggers the accumulation of the pro-vitamin A molecule, β-carotene, in the fruit mesocarp. The mechanism by which CmOr operates is not fully understood. To identify cellular and metabolic processes associated with CmOr allelic variation, we compared the transcriptome of bulks of developing fruit of homozygous orange and green fruited F3 families derived from a cross between orange and green fruited parental lines. Results: Pooling together F3 families that share same fruit flesh color and thus the same CmOr allelic variation, normalized traits unrelated to CmOr allelic variation. RNA sequencing analysis of these bulks enabled the identification of differentially expressed genes. These genes were clustered into functional groups. The relatively enriched functional groups were those involved in photosynthesis, RNA and protein regulation, and response to stress. Conclusions: The differentially expressed genes and the enriched processes identified here by bulk segregant RNA sequencing analysis are likely part of the regulatory network of CmOr. Our study demonstrates the resolution power of bulk segregant RNA sequencing in identifying genes related to commercially important traits and provides a useful tool for better understanding the mode of action of CmOr gene in the mediation of carotenoid accumulation.

AB  - Characteristics of conventional milk and milk from a herd transitioning from nongrazing to organic were studied by comparing adjacent farms over a 12-month period. Levels of short- and medium-chain fatty acids partially responsible for aroma and flavour were initially lower in the milk from the transitioning herd, but not after the cows had settled into an organic diet. Once that point was reached, the amount of α-linolenic acid in the transitioning herd milk exceeded that of the conventional herd. This case study demonstrates that subtle differences occur in the milk as cows transition to organic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cocoa pod borer ( CPB), Conopomorpha cramerella (Snellen), sex pheromone was previously identified as a blend of ( E,Z,Z)- and ( E,E,Z)-4,6,10-hexadecatrienyl acetates and corresponding alcohols. These pheromone components were synthesized by modification of an existing method and the relative attractiveness of synthetic blends that included different levels of non-target pheromone components and chemical purities was tested in a cocoa field using Delta traps. Male captures were not significantly different among traps baited with pheromone blends containing 5% to 47% (based on four identified pheromone components) of other geometric acetates [( E,Z,E)-, ( Z,Z,Z)-, ( Z,E,Z)- and ( Z,E,E)-4,6,10-hexadecatrienyl acetates], indicating that C. cramerella males did not discriminate among the pheromone components and other geometric isomers in the blends. Therefore, neither antagonistic nor synergistic effects from other pheromone geometric isomers were observed. The modified synthetic pathway offers the prospect of more economical production of CPB sex pheromone. During 17 weeks when C. cramerella monitoring coincided with the main cocoa pod harvest period in 2013-2014, CPB trap catch data from some blends showed a good correlation with the number of pods with C. cramerella infestation symptoms.

AB  - The measurements of magnetic hysteresis for aggregates of nanoparticles deposited on a surface are reported. Magnetite nanoparticles derived from magnetotactic bacteria are studied using nanomechanical torque magnetometry. The nanoparticles are deposited on high-stress Si3N4 membranes, to allow inspection by electron microscopy, followed by focused ion-beam milling of torsional resonators precisely located to capture selected aggregates within the membrane area. Torque magnetometry is performed using the resonators. We investigate also the magnetic torque-driven AC resonant modes of the modified supporting membrane. The observations are compared to numerical simulations of the mechanical modes, and to micromagnetic modeling of the hysteresis of a specific measured cluster of ∼350 nanoparticles.

AB  - Background: To examine the contributions of sequence and function conservation in the evolution of enhancers, we systematically identified enhancers whose sequences are not conserved among distant groups of vertebrate species, but have homologous function and are likely to be derived from a common ancestral sequence. Our approach combined comparative genomics and epigenomics to identify potential enhancer sequences in the genomes of three groups of distantly related vertebrate species. Results: We searched for sequences that were conserved within groups of closely related species but not between groups of more distant species, and were associated with an epigenetic mark of enhancer activity. To facilitate inferring orthology between non-conserved sequences, we limited our search to introns whose orthology could be unambiguously established by mapping the bracketing exons. We show that a subset of these non-conserved but syntenic sequences from the mouse and zebrafish genomes have homologous functions in a zebrafish transgenic enhancer assay. The conserved expression patterns driven by these enhancers are probably associated with short transcription factor-binding motifs present in the divergent sequences. Conclusions: We have identified numerous potential enhancers with divergent sequences but a conserved function. These results indicate that selection on function, rather than sequence, may be a common mode of enhancer evolution; evidence for selection at the sequence level is not a necessary criterion to define a gene regulatory element.

AB  - The basidiomycete fungus Coprinopsis cinerea is an important model system for multicellular development. Fruiting bodies of C. cinerea are typical mushrooms, which can be produced synchronously on defined media in the laboratory. To investigate the transcriptome in detail during fruiting body development, high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed using cDNA libraries strand-specifically constructed from 13 points (stages/tissues) with two biological replicates. The reads were aligned to 14,245 predicted transcripts, and counted for forward and reverse transcripts. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two adjacent points and between vegetative mycelium and each point were detected by Tag Count Comparison (TCC). To validate RNA-seq data, expression levels of selected genes were compared using RPKM values in RNA-seq data and qRT-PCR data, and DEGs detected in microarray data were examined in MA plots of RNA-seq data by TCC. We discuss events deduced from GO analysis of DEGs. In addition, we uncovered both transcription factor candidates and antisense transcripts that are likely to be involved in developmental regulation for fruiting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the fact that parasites are highly specialized with respect to their hosts, empirical evidence demonstrates that host switching rather than co-speciation is the dominant factor influencing the diversification of host-parasite associations. Ecological fitting in sloppy fitness space has been proposed as a mechanism allowing ecological specialists to host-switch readily. That proposal is tested herein using an individual-based model of host switching. The model considers a parasite species exposed to multiple host resources. Through time host range expansion can occur readily without the prior evolution of novel genetic capacities. It also produces non-linear variation in the size of the fitness space. The capacity for host colonization is strongly influenced by propagule pressure early in the process and by the size of the fitness space later. The simulations suggest that co-adaptation may be initiated by the temporary loss of less fit phenotypes. Further, parasites can persist for extended periods in sub-optimal hosts, and thus may colonize distantly related hosts by a "stepping-stone" process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Production of lactic acid from renewable sugars has received growing attention as lactic acid can be used for making renewable and bio-based plastics. However, most prior studies have focused on production of lactic acid from glucose despite that cellulosic hydrolysates contain xylose as well as glucose. Microbial strains capable of fermenting both glucose and xylose into lactic acid are needed for sustainable and economic lactic acid production. In this study, we introduced a lactic acid-producing pathway into an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of fermenting xylose. Specifically, ldhA from the fungi Rhizopus oryzae was overexpressed under the control of the PGK1 promoter through integration of the expression cassette in the chromosome. The resulting strain exhibited a high lactate dehydrogenase activity and produced lactic acid from glucose or xylose. Interestingly, we observed that the engineered strain exhibited substrate-dependent product formation. When the engineered yeast was cultured on glucose, the major fermentation product was ethanol while lactic acid was a minor product. In contrast, the engineered yeast produced lactic acid almost exclusively when cultured on xylose under oxygen-limited conditions. The yields of ethanol and lactic acid from glucose were 0.31 g ethanol/g glucose and 0.22 g lactic acid/g glucose, respectively. On xylose, the yields of ethanol and lactic acid were <0.01 g ethanol/g xylose and 0.69 g lactic acid/g xylose, respectively. These results demonstrate that lactic acid can be produced from xylose with a high yield by S. cerevisiae without deleting pyruvate decarboxylase, and the formation patterns of fermentations can be altered by substrates.

AB  - Podosphaera macularis, the causal agent of hop powdery mildew, is known to produce chasmothecia (formerly cleistothecia) in eastern North America and Europe. Ascocarps have not yet been reported from the Pacific Northwestern region of North America. Reasons for the apparent absence of chasmothecia in the Pacific Northwest were unknown. This study established that P. macularis is heterothallic and ascocarp ontogeny, maturation, dehiscence and ascospore infection proceed similarly to other powdery mildew fungi. Genome sequencing of a MAT1-1 isolate revealed the structure of the MAT1 locus and presence of MAT1-1-3, demonstrating further similarities to other powdery mildew fungi. PCR assays with primers designed from conserved domains of the MAT1 idiomorphs were developed to characterize the frequency of idiomorphs in populations of P. macularis. Amongst 317 samples of P. macularis collected during 2012 and 2013 from the Pacific Northwest only the MAT1-1 idiomorph was found. In contrast, among 56 samples from the eastern United States and Europe, MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 idiomorphs were detected at equivalent frequencies. At temperatures representative of late season conditions in the Pacific Northwest, chasmothecia formed readily when a Pacific Northwest MAT1-1 isolate was paired with a MAT1-2 isolate collected from outside the region. Although these findings do not encompass all climatic, geographic or temporal barriers that could inhibit the formation of chasmothecia, the current absence of the ascigerious stage of P. macularis in the Pacific Northwest could be explained by the absence of the MAT1-2 mating type idiomorph.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated whether nonelderly US adults (aged 18-64 years) in food-insecure households are more likely to report cost-related medication underuse than the food-secure, and whether the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse differs by gender, chronic disease, and health insurance status. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2011 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (n = 67 539). We examined the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse with the χ² test and multivariate logistic regression with interaction terms. Results. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed a dose-response relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse, with an increasing likelihood of cost-related medication underuse with increasing severity of food insecurity (P<.001). This association was conditional on health insurance status, but not substantially different by gender or chronic disease status. Being female, low-income, having no or partial health insurance, chronic conditions, functional limitations, or severe mental illness were positively associated with cost-related medication underuse. Conclusions. Using food insecurity as a risk factor to assess cost-related medication underuse could help increase identification of individuals who may need assistance purchasing medications and improve health for those in food-insecure households.

AB  - A non-destructive testing approach capable of evaluating high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) in pressure vessels made of carbon steel is presented. The approach, involving non-collinear wave mixing of ultrasonic waves, is applied to a test sample extracted from a retired pressure vessel exposed to hydrogen. Results show that the non-linear ultrasonic approach is capable of detecting and assessing HTHA damage through the thickness of the pressure vessels. The method only requires access to the vessels' outside surface, which makes it very attractive for field inspections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - GeTe, a self-doping semiconductor, is a well-known base compound for thermoelectric and phase-change materials. It is known, that replacement of Ge in Ag 6.5 Sb 6.5 Ge 37 Te 50 (TAGS-85) material by rare earth Dy significantly enhances both the power factor and thermoelectric figure of merit. Here we demonstrate how replacement of Ge in GeTe by rare earths with different atomic size and localized magnetic moments affect XRD patterns, magnetization, 125 Te NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation, and the Seebeck coefficient of the alloys with a nominal composition of Ge 49 Te 50 R 1 (R = La, Pr, Gd, Dy, and Yb). SEM, EDS and WDS data show that rare earth atoms in the matrix are present at smaller extent compared to a nominal composition, whereas rare earth also is present in inclusions. Rare earths affect the Seebeck coefficient, which is a result of interplay between the reduction due to higher carrier concentration and enhancement due to magnetic contribution. The effect of replacement of Ge in GeTe by Dy on the Seebeck coefficient is smaller than that observed in Ag 6.5 Sb 6.5 Ge 36 Te 50 Dy 1 . This can be explained by larger amount of rare earth, which can be embedded into the lattice of materials containing [Ag + Sb] atomic pairs and possible effect from these pairs.

AB  - The interactive effects of five seasonal precipitation distribution patterns and two levels of N deposition (ambient and doubled) on phenological traits of six common plant species were studied in an alpine meadow of the Tibetan Plateau for two consecutive years. Seasonal precipitation patterns included ambient (control), reduced fall/winter/spring – increased summer, increased fall/winter – reduced spring, increased fall/winter – reduced spring/summer, and increased spring – reduced summer. Our results indicate that: 1) phenological trait variation was predominantly due to species differences ( P < 0.0001), yet flowering dates for annual forbs and perennial graminoids were more synchronous under wetter conditions in the second season, which likely led to more intense competition for soil resources between these two groups; 2) the effect of treatments on species phenological traits appeared in the second growing season only, suggesting that phenological shifts in these species lag behind abiotic conditions and/or require cumulative exposure to these factors (≥2 years); 3) redistributing dormant season and spring precipitation to summer caused earlier flowering and longer flowering duration for perennial graminoids ( P. pratensis , K. setchwanensis , respectively) and earlier and shorter duration of fruiting for the annual forb G. paludosa ; yet N addition diminished and/or reversed these effects. Moreover, augmenting fall and winter precipitation at the expense of spring and summer precipitation decreased all phenological traits of P. anserina except for flowering date, but N addition reversed these effects, and; 4) interannual variation in species phenology was strongly influenced by environmental differences among the two growing seasons rather than different precipitation patterns and N addition. We discuss how seasonal shifts in precipitation and/or greater N deposition in the future may impact plant species fitness, species coexistence, and vegetation composition in alpine meadow ecosystems of the Tibetan Plateau.

AB  - R-β-Gal is a cold-adapted β-galactosidase that is able to hydrolyze lactose and has the potential to produce low-lactose or lactose-free dairy products at low temperatures (4 °C). Cold-adapted enzymes unfold at moderate temperatures due to the lower intramolecular stabilizing interactions necessary for flexibility at low temperatures. To increase stability and usage-performance, R-β-Gal was encapsulated in gellan gum by injecting an aqueous solution into two different hardening solutions (10 mM CaCl 2 or 10 mM MgCl 2 ). Enzyme characteristics of both free and encapsulated R-β-Gal were carried out, and the different effects of two cations were investigated. R-β-Gal showed better thermal and pH stability after encapsulation. Ca 2+ gels had higher encapsulation efficiency (71.4%) than Mg 2+ (66.7%) gels, and Ca 2+ formed larger inner and surface pores. R-β-Gal was released from the Ca 2+ hydrogel beads more rapidly than the Mg 2+ hydrogels during storage in aqueous solution due to the larger inner/surface pores of the matrix.

AB  - This research investigated the technical feasibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as novel delivery systems for encapsulation and controlled release of volatile allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) molecules. We hypothesized that water vapor molecules could act as an external stimulus to trigger the release of AITC molecules encapsulated in MOFs. To test this hypothesis, three MOFs—HKUST-1, MOF-74(Zn), and RPM6-Zn—were selected based on their structural properties and AITC molecular characteristics. Results from adsorption-desorption and GC headspace analyses showed that these MOFs could encapsulate and retain AITC molecules within their pores under low (30–35%) relative humidity (RH) conditions. In contrast, the release of AITC molecules from all these MOFs was triggered under high RH (95–100%) conditions. These findings along with results from SEM, TEM, and XRPD studies support our hypothesis that water vapors could trigger the AITC release from these MOFs, indicating that development of the AITC-MOFs delivering system is technically feasible.

AB  - Soil pore structure has a strong influence on water retention, and is itself influenced by plant and microbial dynamics such as root proliferation and microbial exudation. Although increased nitrogen (N) availability and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (eCO2) often have interacting effects on root and microbial dynamics, it is unclear whether these biotic effects can translate into altered soil pore structure and water retention. This study was based on a long-term experiment (7 yr at the time of sampling) in which a C4 pasture grass ( Paspalum notatum) was grown on a sandy loam soil while provided factorial additions of N and CO2. Through an analysis of soil aggregate fractal properties supported by 3D microtomographic imagery, we found that N fertilization induced an increase in intra-aggregate porosity and a simultaneous shift toward greater accumulation of pore space in larger aggregates. These effects were enhanced by eCO2 and yielded an increase in water retention at pressure potentials near the wilting point of plants. However, eCO2 alone induced changes in the opposite direction, with larger aggregates containing less pore space than under control conditions, and water retention decreasing accordingly. Results on biotic factors further suggested that organic matter gains or losses induced the observed structural changes. Based on our results, we postulate that the pore structure of many mineral soils could undergo N-dependent changes as atmospheric CO2 concentrations rise, having global-scale implications for water balance, carbon storage, and related rhizosphere functions.

AB  - Foot-and-mouth disease ( FMD) is a highly contagious livestock disease of high economic impact. Early detection of FMD virus ( FMDV) is fundamental for rapid outbreak control. Air sampling collection has been demonstrated as a useful technique for detection of FMDV RNA in infected animals, related to the aerogenous nature of the virus. In the current study, air from rooms housing individual ( n = 17) or two groups ( n = 4) of cattle experimentally infected with FDMV A24 Cruzeiro of different virulence levels was sampled to assess the feasibility of applying air sampling as a non-invasive, screening tool to identify sources of FMDV infection. Detection of FMDV RNA in air was compared with first detection of clinical signs and FMDV RNA levels in serum and oral fluid. FMDV RNA was detected in room air samples 1-3 days prior (seven animals) or on the same day (four animals) as the appearance of clinical signs in 11 of 12 individually housed cattle. Only in one case clinical signs preceded detection in air samples by one day. Overall, viral RNA in oral fluid or serum preceded detection in air samples by 1-2 days. Six individually housed animals inoculated with attenuated strains did not show clinical signs, but virus was detected in air in one of these cases 3 days prior to first detection in oral fluid. In groups of four cattle housed together, air detection always preceded appearance of clinical signs by 1-2 days and coincided more often with viral shedding in oral fluid than virus in blood. These data confirm that air sampling is an effective non-invasive screening method for detecting FMDV infection in confined to enclosed spaces (e.g. auction barns, milking parlours). This technology could be a useful tool as part of a surveillance strategy during FMD prevention, control or eradication efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Genome sequencing of the Trichoderma reesei QM9136 mutant identifies a truncation of the transcriptional regulator XYR1 as the cause for its cellulase-negative phenotype.

AB  - Background: Trichoderma reesei is the main industrial source of cellulases and hemicellulases required for the hydrolysis of biomass to simple sugars, which can then be used in the production of biofuels and biorefineries. The highly productive strains in use today were generated by classical mutagenesis. As byproducts of this procedure, mutants were generated that turned out to be unable to produce cellulases. In order to identify the mutations responsible for this inability, we sequenced the genome of one of these strains, QM9136, and compared it to that of its progenitor T. reesei QM6a. Results: In QM9136, we detected a surprisingly low number of mutagenic events in the promoter and coding regions of genes, i.e. only eight indels and six single nucleotide variants. One of these indels led to a frame-shift in the Zn2Cys6 transcription factor XYR1, the general regulator of cellulase and xylanase expression, and resulted in its C-terminal truncation by 140 amino acids. Retransformation of strain QM9136 with the wild-type xyr1 allele fully recovered the ability to produce cellulases, and is thus the reason for the cellulase-negative phenotype. Introduction of an engineered xyr1 allele containing the truncating point mutation into the moderate producer T. reesei QM9414 rendered this strain also cellulase-negative. The correspondingly truncated XYR1 protein was still able to enter the nucleus, but failed to be expressed over the basal constitutive level. Conclusion: The missing 140 C-terminal amino acids of XYR1 are therefore responsible for its previously observed auto-regulation which is essential for cellulases to be expressed. Our data present a working example of the use of genome sequencing leading to a functional explanation of the QM9136 cellulase-negative phenotype. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim Studies of fire activity along environmental gradients have been undertaken, but the results of such studies have yet to be integrated with fire-regime analysis. We characterize fire-regime components along climate gradients and a gradient of human influence. Location We focus on a climatically diverse region of north-western North America extending from northern British Columbia, Canada, to northern Utah and Colorado, USA. Methods We used a multivariate framework to collapse 12 climatic variables into two major climate gradients and binned them into 73 discrete climate domains. We examined variation in fire-regime components (frequency, size, severity, seasonality and cause) across climate domains. Fire-regime attributes were compiled from existing databases and Landsat imagery for 1897 large fires. Relationships among the fire-regime components, climate gradients and human influence were examined through bivariate regressions. The unique contribution of human influence was also assessed. Results A primary climate gradient of temperature and summer precipitation and a secondary gradient of continentality and winter precipitation in the study area were identified. Fire occupied a distinct central region of such climate space, within which fire-regime components varied considerably. We identified significant interrelations between fire-regime components of fire size, frequency, burn severity and cause. The influence of humans was apparent in patterns of burn severity and ignition cause. Main conclusions Wildfire activity is highest where thermal and moisture gradients converge to promote fuel production, flammability and ignitions. Having linked fire-regime components to large-scale climate gradients, we show that fire regimes - like the climate that controls them - are a part of a continuum, expanding on models of varying constraints on fire activity. The observed relationships between fire-regime components, together with the distinct role of climatic and human influences, generate variation in biotic communities. Thus, future changes to climate may lead to ecological changes through altered fire regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Intense hurricanes disturb many tropical forests, but the key mechanisms driving post-hurricane forest changes are not fully understood. In Puerto Rico, we used a replicated factorial experiment to determine the mechanisms of forest change associated with canopy openness and organic matter (debris) addition. Cascading effects from canopy openness accounted for most of the shifts in the forest biota and biotic processes, which included increased plant recruitment and richness, as well as the decreased abundance and diversity of several animal groups. Canopy opening decreased litterfall and litter moisture, thereby inhibiting lignin-degrading fungi, which slowed decomposition. Debris addition temporarily increased tree basal area. Elevated soil solution nitrate was a dominant response after past hurricanes; this effect only occurred in our experiment with simultaneous canopy-opening and debris treatments. Although debris is an important carbon and nutrient source, shortterm responses to cyclonic storms appear to be largely driven by canopy opening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many tropical rain forest regions are at risk of increased future drought. The net effects of drought on forest ecosystem functioning will be substantial if important ecological thresholds are passed. However, understanding and predicting these effects is challenging using observational studies alone. Field-based rainfall exclusion (canopy throughfall exclusion; TFE) experiments can offer mechanistic insight into the response to extended or severe drought and can be used to help improve model-based simulations, which are currently inadequate. Only eight TFE experiments have been reported for tropical rain forests. We examine them, synthesizing key results and focusing on two processes that have shown threshold behavior in response to drought: (1) tree mortality and (2) the efflux of carbon dioxdie from soil, soil respiration. We show that: (a) where tested using large-scale field experiments, tropical rain forest tree mortality is resistant to long-term soil moisture deficit up to a threshold of 50% of the water that is extractable by vegetation from the soil, but high mortality occurs beyond this value, with evidence from one site of increased autotrophic respiration, and (b) soil respiration reaches its peak value in response to soil moisture at significantly higher soil moisture content for clay-rich soils than for clay-poor soils. This first synthesis of tropical TFE experiments offers the hypothesis that low soil moisture-related thresholds for key stress responses in soil and vegetation may prove to be widely applicable across tropical rain forests despite the diversity of these forests.

AB  - Recent declines in honey bee ( Apis mellifera L., 1758) populations worldwide have spurred significant research into the impact of pathogens on colony health. The role of the Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) on hive mortality has become of particular concern since being correlated with colony losses. However, the molecular interactions between IAPV and its host remain largely unknown. To investigate changes in host protein expression during IAPV infection, mass-spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics was used to compare IAPV-infected and healthy pupae. Proteins whose expression levels changed significantly during infection were identified and functional analysis was performed to determine host systems and pathways perturbed by IAPV infection. Among the A. mellifera proteins most affected by IAPV, those involving translation and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway were most highly enriched and future investigation of these pathways will be useful in identifying host proteins required for infection. This analysis represents an important first step towards understanding the honey bee host response to IAPV infection through the systems-level analysis of protein expression.

AB  - De récentes baisses des populations d'abeilles domestiques ( Apis mellifera L., 1758) partout dans le monde ont donné lieu à d'abondants travaux sur l'impact des pathogènes sur la santé des colonies. L'effet du virus israélien de la paralysie aiguë (VIPA) sur la mortalité dans les ruches suscite un intérêt particulier depuis qu'il a été corrélé à la disparition de colonies. Les interactions moléculaires entre le VIPA et son hôte demeurent toutefois généralement méconnues. Afin d'étudier les modifications de l'expression protéique de l'hôte durant l'infection au VIPA, la protéomique quantitative reposant sur la spectrométrie de masse a été utilisée pour comparer des pupes infectées au VIPA et des pupes en santé. Les protéines dont le degré d'expression changeait significativement durant l'infection ont été cernées, et une analyse fonctionnelle a été effectuée pour déterminer les systèmes et voies de l'hôte perturbés par l'infection au VIPA. Parmi les protéines d' A. mellifera les plus affectées par le VIPA, celles dont la formation fait intervenir la traduction et la voie ubiquitine/protéasome étaient les plus fortement enrichies, de sorte que des études plus poussées de ces voies seront utiles pour cerner les protéines de l'hôte nécessaires pour qu'il y ait infection. Cette analyse représente un premier pas important vers la compréhension de la réaction des abeilles domestiques hôtes à l'infection au VIPA par l'analyse de l'expression protéique au niveau systémique.

AB  - The plant vascular system serves as a conduit for delivery of both nutrients and signaling molecules to various distantly located organs. The anucleate sieve tube system of the angiosperm phloem delivers sugars and amino acids to developing organs, and has recently been shown to contain a unique population of RNA and proteins. Grafting studies have established that a number of these macromolecules are capable of moving long distances between tissues, thus providing support for operation of a phloem-mediated inter-organ communication network. Currently, our knowledge of the roles played by such phloem-borne macromolecules is in its infancy. Here, we show that, in tomato, translocation of a phloem-mobile cyclophilin, SlCyp1, from a wild-type scion into a mutant rootstock results in restoration of vascular development and lateral root initiation. This process occurs through reactivation of auxin response pathways and reprogramming of the root transcriptome. Moreover, we show that long-distance trafficking of SlCyp1 is associated with regulation of the shoot-to-root ratio in response to changing light intensities, by modulating root growth. We conclude that long-distance trafficking of SlCyp1 acts as a rheostat to control the shoot-to-root ratio, by mediating root development to integrate photosynthesis and light intensity with requirements for access to water and mineral nutrients.

AB  - CLE peptides are small extracellular proteins important in regulating plant meristematic activity through the CLE-receptor kinase- WOX signalling module. Stem cell pools in the SAM (shoot apical meristem), RAM (root apical meristem) and vascular cambium are controlled by CLE signalling pathways. Interestingly, plant-parasitic cyst nematodes secrete CLE-like effector proteins, which act as ligand mimics of plant CLE peptides and are required for successful parasitism. Recently, we demonstrated that Arabidopsis CLE receptors CLAVATA1 ( CLV1), the CLAVATA2 ( CLV2)/ CORYNE ( CRN) heterodimer receptor complex and RECEPTOR- LIKE PROTEIN KINASE 2 ( RPK2), which transmit the CLV3 signal in the SAM, are required for perception of beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii CLEs. Reduction in nematode infection was observed in clv1, clv2, crn, rpk2 and combined double and triple mutants. In an effort to develop nematode resistance in an agriculturally important crop, orthologues of Arabidopsis receptors including CLV1, CLV2, CRN and RPK2 were identified from soybean, a host for the soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines. For each of the receptors, there are at least two paralogues in the soybean genome. Localization studies showed that most receptors are expressed in the root, but vary in their level of expression and spatial expression patterns. Expression in nematode-induced feeding cells was also confirmed. In vitro direct binding of the soybean receptors with the Hg CLE peptide was analysed. Knock-down of the receptors in soybean hairy roots showed enhanced resistance to SCN. Our findings suggest that targeted disruption of nematode CLE signalling may be a potential means to engineer nematode resistance in crop plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bacteria-derived enzymes that can modify specific lignin substructures are potential targets to engineer plants for better biomass processability. The Gram-negative bacterium Sphingobium sp. SYK-6 possesses a Cα-dehydrogenase (LigD) enzyme that has been shown to oxidize the α-hydroxy functionalities in β-O-4-linked dimers into α-keto analogues that are more chemically labile. Here, we show that recombinant LigD can oxidize an even wider range of β-O-4-linked dimers and oligomers, including the genuine dilignols, guaiacylglycerol-β-coniferyl alcohol ether and syringylglycerol-β-sinapyl alcohol ether. We explored the possibility of using LigD for biosynthetically engineering lignin by expressing the codon-optimized ligD gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. The ligD cDNA, with or without a signal peptide for apoplast targeting, has been successfully expressed, and LigD activity could be detected in the extracts of the transgenic plants. UPLC- MS/ MS-based metabolite profiling indicated that levels of oxidized guaiacyl (G) β-O-4-coupled dilignols and analogues were significantly elevated in the LigD transgenic plants regardless of the signal peptide attachment to LigD. In parallel, 2D NMR analysis revealed a 2.1- to 2.8-fold increased level of G-type α-keto-β-O-4 linkages in cellulolytic enzyme lignins isolated from the stem cell walls of the LigD transgenic plants, indicating that the transformation was capable of altering lignin structure in the desired manner.

AB  - A better understanding is needed of how hydrological and biogeochemical processes control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition from headwaters downstream to large rivers. We examined a large DOM dataset from the National Water Information System of the US Geological Survey, which represents approximately 100 000 measurements of DOC concentration and DOM composition at many sites along rivers across the United States. Application of quantile regression revealed a tendency towards downstream spatial and temporal homogenization of DOC concentrations and a shift from dominance of aromatic DOM in headwaters to more aliphatic DOM downstream. The DOC concentration-discharge (C-Q) relationships at each site revealed a downstream tendency towards a slope of zero. We propose that despite complexities in river networks that have driven many revisions to the River Continuum Concept, rivers show a tendency towards chemostasis (C-Q slope of zero) because of a downstream shift from a dominance of hydrologic drivers that connect terrestrial DOM sources to streams in the headwaters towards a dominance of instream and near-stream biogeochemical processes that result in preferential losses of aromatic DOM and preferential gains of aliphatic DOM. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Une meilleure compréhension de l'influence des processus hydrologiques et biogéochimiques sur les concentrations de carbone organique dissous (COD) et sur la composition des matières organiques dissoutes (MOD) des cours d'eau d'amont jusqu'aux grands fleuves est nécessaire. Nous avons examiné un imposant ensemble de données sur la MOD du Système national d'information sur l'eau de la commission géologique des États-Unis (US Geological Survey), qui représente environ 100 000 mesures de concentration de COD et de composition de MOD en de nombreux endroits le long de rivières à la grandeur des États-Unis. L'application de la régression quantile a révélé une tendance à l'homogénéisation spatiale et temporelle vers l'aval des concentrations de COD et le passage d'une prédominance de MOD aromatiques dans les cours d'eau d'amont à plus de MOD aliphatiques en aval. Les relations concentrations de COD-débit (C-D) à chaque site ont révélé une tendance vers une pente nulle vers l'aval. Nous proposons que, malgré les complexités des réseaux hydrographiques qui ont mené à de nombreuses révisions du concept du continuum fluvial, les rivières tendent vers la chimiostase (pente nulle de la relation C-D) en raison du passage vers l'aval d'une prédominance de facteurs hydrologiques qui relient les sources de MOD terrestres aux cours d'eau d'amont, à une prédominance de processus biogéochimiques dans le cours d'eau ou à proximité qui se traduisent par des pertes préférentielles de MOD aromatiques et des gains préférentiels de MOD aliphatiques.

AB  - Background: The cereal rust fungi are destructive pathogens that affect grain production worldwide. Although the genomic and transcript sequences for three Puccinia species that attack wheat have been released, the functions of large repertories of genes from Puccinia still need to be addressed to understand the infection process of these obligate parasites. Host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) has emerged a useful tool to examine the importance of rust fungus genes while growing within host plants. In this study, HIGS was used to test genes from Puccinia with transcripts enriched in haustoria for their ability to interfere with full development of the rust fungi. Results: Approximately 1200 haustoria enriched genes from Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) were identified by comparative RNA sequencing. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) constructs with fragments of 86 Puccinia genes, were tested for their ability to interfere with full development of these rust fungi. Most of the genes tested had no noticeable effects, but 10 reduced Pgt development after co-inoculation with the gene VIGS constructs and Pgt. These included a predicted glycolytic enzyme, two other proteins that are probably secreted and involved in carbohydrate or sugar metabolism, a protein involved in thiazol biosynthesis, a protein involved in auxin biosynthesis, an amino acid permease, two hypothetical proteins with no conserved domains, a predicted small secreted protein and another protein predicted to be secreted with similarity to bacterial proteins involved in membrane transport. Transient silencing of four of these genes reduced development of P. striiformis (Pst), and three of also caused reduction of P. triticina (Pt) development. Conclusions: Partial suppression of transcripts involved in a large variety of biological processes in haustoria cells of Puccinia rusts can disrupt their development. Silencing of three genes resulted in suppression of all three rust diseases indicating that it may be possible to engineer durable resistance to multiple rust pathogens with a single gene in transgenic wheat plants for sustainable control of cereal rusts.

AB  - Loss of seed-coat impermeability was essential in the domestication of many leguminous crops to promote the production of their highly nutritious seeds. Here we show that seed-coat impermeability in wild soybean is controlled by a single gene, GmHs1-1, which encodes a calcineurin-like metallophosphoesterase transmembrane protein. GmHs1-1 is primarily expressed in the Malpighian layer of the seed coat and is associated with calcium content. The transition from impermeability to permeability in domesticated soybean was caused by artificial selection of a point mutation in GmHs1-1. Interestingly, a number of soybean landraces evaded selection for permeability because of an alternative selection for seed-coat cracking that also enables seed imbibition. Despite the single origin of the mutant allele Gmhs1-1, the distribution pattern of allelic variants in the context of soybean population structure and the detected signature of genomic introgression between wild and cultivated soybeans suggest that Gmhs1-1 may have experienced reselection for seed-coat permeability.

AB  - In this study, a residue analysis method for the simultaneous determination of 107 pesticides in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs),Angelica sinensis, A. dahurica, Leonurus heterophyllusSweet,Pogostemon cablinandLonicera japonicaThunb., was developed using gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in negative chemical ionisation mode (GC-NCI-MS/MS). NCI has advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity to chemicals with electron-withdrawing groups, and yields low background interference. For sample preparation, QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) was applied. Due to the unique characteristics of TCMs, the clean-up step was optimised by adjusting amounts of primary secondary amine, C18, graphitised carbon black and silica sorbents. Validation was mainly performed by determining analyte recoveries at four different spiking concentrations of 10, 50, 100 and 200 ng g−1, with seven replicates at each concentration. Method trueness, precision, linearity of calibration curves, lowest calibrated levels (LCLs) and matrix effects were determined to demonstrate method and instrument performance. Among the 107 pesticides tested, approximately 80% gave recoveries from 80% to 110% and < 10% relative standard deviation (RSD). The LCLs for nearly all pesticides were 5 ng g−1, and as low as 0.1 ng g−1for dichlofenthion, endosulfan sulphate, flumetralin, isofenphos-methyl, methyl-pentachlorophenyl sulphide and trifluralin. The results indicate that GC-NCI-MS/MS is an excellent technique for quantitative and qualitative analysis of targeted GC-amenable pesticides at ultra-trace levels, especially in complex matrices such as TCMs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Forests play a leading role in regional and global terrestrial carbon (C) cycles. Changes in C sequestration within forests can be attributed to areal expansion (increase in forest area) and forest growth (increase in biomass density). Detailed assessment of the relative contributions of areal expansion and forest growth to C sinks is crucial to reveal the mechanisms that control forest C sinks and it is helpful for developing sustainable forest management policies in the face of climate change. Using the Forest Identity concept and forest inventory data, this study quantified the spatial and temporal changes in the relative contributions of forest areal expansion and increased biomass growth to China's forest biomass C sinks from 1977 to 2008. Over the last 30 years, the areal expansion of forests has been a larger contributor to C sinks than forest growth for planted forests in China (62.2% vs. 37.8 %). However, for natural forests, forest growth has made a larger contribution than areal expansion (60.4% vs. 39.6 %). For all forests (planted and natural forests), growth in area and density has contributed equally to the total C sinks of forest biomass in China (50.4% vs. 49.6 %).The relative contribution of forest growth of planted forests showed an increasing trend from an initial 25.3% to 61.0% in the later period of 1998 to 2003, but for natural forests, the relative contributions were variable without clear trends, owing to the drastic changes in forest area and biomass density over the last 30 years. Our findings suggest that afforestation will continue to increase the C sink of China's forests in the future, subject to sustainable forest growth after the establishment of plantations.

AB  - Conservation of imperiled species often demands addressing a complex suite of threats that undermine species viability. Regulatory approaches, such as the US Endangered Species Act (1973), tend to focus on anthropogenic threats through adoption of policies and regulatory mechanisms. However, persistent ecosystem-based threats, such as invasive species and altered disturbance regimes, remain critical issues for most at-risk species considered to be conservation-reliant. We describe an approach for addressing persistent ecosystem threats to at-risk species based on ecological resilience and resistance concepts that is currently being used to conserve greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and sagebrush ecosystems. The approach links biophysical indicators of ecosystem resilience and resistance with species-specific population and habitat requisites in a risk-based framework to identify priority areas for management and guide allocation of resources to manage persistent ecosystem-based threats. US federal land management and natural resource agencies have adopted this framework as a foundation for prioritizing sage-grouse conservation resources and determining effective restoration and management strategies. Because threats and strategies to address them cross-cut program areas, an integrated approach that includes wildland fire operations, postfire rehabilitation, fuels management, and habitat restoration is being used. We believe this approach is applicable to species conservation in other largely intact ecosystems with persistent, ecosystem-based threats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Elk ( Cervus elaphus L.) and cattle ( Bos taurus L.) co-occur on rangelands throughout western North America. Literature regarding range relations between elk and cattle, however, is contradictory, describing interspecific competition in some cases and complementary or facilitative relations in others. A better understanding of how sympatric elk and cattle behave at fine spatiotemporal scales is needed to properly allocate resources for these species. We used intensively sampled Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking data (1-sec intervals) to classify elk and cattle behavior and investigate their activity and movement strategies in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, United States, during summer and fall 2007. An ensemble classification approach was used to identify stationary, foraging, and walking behavior classes within the GPS datasets of mature beef and captive elk cows grazing in forested pastures during two randomized experiments, one in summer and the other fall. During summer, elk traveled farther per day, had larger walking budgets, exhibited more and longer walking bouts, and had higher walking velocities than beef cows. Cattle tended to emphasize intensive foraging over extensive movement and thus displayed larger foraging budgets and longer foraging bouts than elk. Site-by-species interactions, however, were detected for some foraging responses. During fall, when forage quality was limiting, elk exhibited a more foraging-centric mobility strategy while cattle emphasized an energy conservation strategy. These differing movement and energetic strategies tended to support the concept that elk and cattle occupy differing behavioral niches. Extensive foraging by elk and intensive foraging by cattle during summer correspond well with behaviors expected for elk searching out forbs in graminoid-dominated habitats and cattle foraging intensively on graminoids. Behaviors exhibited in the fall were consistent with elk continuing to exercise more selectivity among the available forage than cattle. These differing strategies, consequently, would moderate the potential for direct interspecific competition during summer and fall. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND Effective control of the lesser mealworm beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus, relies heavily on insecticides. The susceptibility level of beetles to these insecticides can be dependent on active ingredient, population treated, formulation, surface treated and timing of observation. The susceptibility of adult beetles from six populations to β-cyfluthrin was determined up to 48 h after exposure. The susceptibility of adult beetles to the label rate of β-cyfluthrin and permethrin formulations on concrete, wood-chip-type particle board and pressure-treated wood was determined up to 48 h post-exposure. RESULTS Variation in LC50 values at 2 and 24 h was found within and between beetle populations from two regions of Texas. The permethrin formulation had lower mean mortality than the β-cyfluthrin formulation on all surfaces tested. The permethrin formulation had high levels of recovery on all surfaces tested after 2 h. Surface affected the efficacy of the insecticides tested on killing adult beetles. CONCLUSION Permethrin-based insecticide had lower knockdown and persistence on various surfaces over time than β-cyfluthrin-based insecticide. Beetle recovery in less susceptible populations may necessitate longer observation periods for efficacy evaluations. Our study also shows that surfaces chosen can affect the efficacy of the compound on killing adult beetles. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Restoration treatments in dry forests of the western US often attempt silvicultural practices to restore the historical characteristics of forest structure and fire behavior. However, it is suggested that a reliance on non-spatial metrics of forest stand structure, along with the use of wildland fire behavior models that lack the ability to handle complex structures, may lead to uncharacteristically homogeneous rather than heterogeneous forest structures following restoration. In our study, we used spatially explicit forest inventory data and a physics based fire behavior model to investigate the effects of restoration driven, variable retention harvests on structural complexity, both of horizontal and vertical dimensions, and potential fire behavior. Structural complexity was assessed at stand and patch scales using a combination of point pattern analyses, a patch detection algorithm, and nearest-neighbor and tree patch indices of height variation. The potential fire behavior before and after treatment was simulated across a range of open wind speeds using a 3-D physics based fire behavior model, the Wildland-urban interface Fire Dynamics Simulator (WFDS). Our results show that treatments resulted in an aggregated spatial pattern of trees consisting of a matrix of individual trees, clumps and openings similar to descriptions of historical dry forests. Treatments had inconsistent effects on vertical complexity across sites likely due to differences in treatment of ladder fuels; lack of reference conditions hinder evaluation of this structural aspect. Simulation modeling using WFDS suggest that treatments moderated fire rate of spread, fireline intensity and canopy consumption across all wind speeds tested and shifted potential fire behavior towards historical ranges. Our findings suggest that current restoration-based variable retention harvests can simultaneously fulfill objectives of altering structural complexity and of reducing fire behavior, though we recommend further research on desired ranges of vertical complexity to inform treatment design.

AB  - Creating a safe workplace for wildland firefighters has long been at the centre of discussion for researchers and practitioners. The goal of wildland fire safety research has been to protect operational firefighters, yet its contributions often fall short of potential because much is getting lost in the translation of peer-reviewed results to potential and intended users. When information that could enhance safety is not adopted by individuals, the potential to improve safety - to decipher the wildland fire physical or social environment and to recognise hazards - is lost. We use firefighter safety-zone research as a case study to examine how primary research is, and could be, transferred to fire managers, policy-makers and firefighters. We apply four core communication theories (diffusion, translation, discourse and media richness) to improve knowledge transfer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Increasing aridity as a result of climate change is expected to exacerbate tree mortality. Reducing forest basal area - the cross-sectional area of tree stems within a given ground area - can decrease tree competition, which may reduce drought-induced tree mortality. However, neither the magnitude of expected mortality increases, nor the potential effectiveness of basal area reduction, has been quantified in dryland forests such as those of the drought-prone Southwest US. We used thousands of repeatedly measured forest plots to show that unusually warm and dry conditions are related to high tree mortality rates and that mortality is positively related to basal area. Those relationships suggest that while increasing high temperature extremes forecasted by climate models may lead to elevated tree mortality during the 21st century, future tree mortality might be partly ameliorated by reducing stand basal area. This adaptive forest management strategy may provide a window of opportunity for forest managers and policy makers to guide forest transitions to species and/or genotypes more suited to future climates.

AB  - Main conclusion : Transgenic alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) provides a useful reverse genetics platform to elucidate acceptor substrate specificity for uncharacterized BAHD family hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA hydroxycinnamoyl transferases. Tissues of many plant species accumulate hydroxycinnamoyl derivatives, often esters, thought to serve in protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. In many cases, these specialized metabolites are produced by BAHD family hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA hydroxycinnamoyl transferases (HCTs). Bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves contain both hydroxycinnamoyl-malate esters and an HCT activity capable of making them. In seeking to identify this HCT from bean, we identified a gene whose predicted protein showed a high degree of sequence similarity (75%) to the Trifolium pratense (red clover) enzyme that carries out this reaction. The encoded bean protein, however, failed to carry out the malate transfer reaction when expressed in Escherichia coli. Expression of the gene in alfalfa ( Medicago sativa) resulted in accumulation of several new hydroxycinnamates not present in nontransformed alfalfa, many of which corresponded to phenolics present in bean. Using accurate mass and UV absorption spectral data, we identified the acceptor substrate for this HCT as tetrahydroxyhexanedioic acids and demonstrated this predicted transferase activity with the E. coli-expressed protein. This finding adds to the growing number of BAHD family HCTs that have been characterized with respect to substrate specificity. Such data, combined with primary sequence and protein structural data will allow for a better understanding of the structure/function relationships of these enzymes and may eventually aid the rational design of such enzymes for altered substrate specificities. Additionally, expression of HCTs of unknown substrate specificity in alfalfa and characterization of the resulting accumulated novel metabolites could be a useful approach to characterizing putative BAHD HCT enzymes.

AB  - Mulching fuels treatments have been increasingly implemented by forest managers in the western USA to reduce crown fire hazard. These treatments use heavy machinery to masticate or chip unwanted shrubs and small-diameter trees and broadcast the mulched material on the ground. Because mulching treatments are relatively novel and have no natural analog, their ecological impacts are poorly understood. We initiated a study in 2007 to examine the effects of mulching on vascular understory plant communities and other ecological properties and processes. We established 15 study areas in Colorado, USA, distributed across three broadly-defined coniferous forest types: pinyon pine – juniper ( Pinus edulis – Juniperus spp.); ponderosa pine ( P. ponderosa ) and ponderosa pine – Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ); and lodgepole pine ( P. contorta ) and mixed conifer (lodgepole pine, limber pine ( P. flexilis ), and other conifers). Measurements were conducted along 50-m transects 2–4 years post-treatment (2007 or 2008), and again 6–9 years post-treatment (2012), in three mulched and three untreated stands per study area. Mulching dramatically reduced overstory basal area (i.e., basal area of trees >1.4 m tall) and increased forest floor biomass (i.e., the biomass of litter, duff, and woody material <2.5 cm in diameter) for all three forest types, as evidenced by previous measurements conducted in our mulched and untreated stands 2–4 years post-treatment. The total richness and cover of understory plant species in mulched stands 2–4 years post-treatment were either similar to, or greater than, the richness and cover in untreated stands for the three forest types; however, by 6–9 years post-treatment, total understory plant richness and cover in mulched stands were always greater. The stimulatory effect of mulching on understory plants was largely driven by the response of graminoids and forbs; mulching had little effect on shrub richness or cover. The increases in total understory plant richness and cover in mulched stands 6–9 years post-treatment occurred despite the fact that understory plants tended to be heavily suppressed in localized areas where the forest floor layer was deep, because such areas were rare. Exotic plant richness and cover were commonly higher in mulched than untreated stands in both sampling periods, but nonetheless understory plant communities remained highly native-dominated. Taken as a whole, our findings suggest that mulching treatments promoted denser and more diverse native understory plant communities in these three Colorado coniferous forest types, particularly over the longer-term.

AB  - This research highlights development and application of an integrated hydrologic model (GSFLOW) to a semiarid, snow-dominated watershed in the Great Basin to evaluate Pinyon-Juniper (PJ) and temperature controls on mountain meadow shallow groundwater. The work used Google Earth Engine Landsat satellite and gridded climate archives for model evaluation. Model simulations across three decades indicated that the watershed operates on a threshold response to precipitation (P) >400 mm/y to produce a positive yield (P-ET; 9%) resulting in stream discharge and a rebound in meadow groundwater levels during these wetter years. Observed and simulated meadow groundwater response to large P correlates with above average predicted soil moisture and with a normalized difference vegetation index threshold value >0.3. A return to assumed pre-expansion PJ conditions or an increase in temperature to mid-21st century shifts yielded by only ±1% during the multi-decade simulation period; but changes of approximately ±4% occurred during wet years. Changes in annual yield were largely dampened by the spatial and temporal redistribution of evapotranspiration across the watershed: Yet the influence of this redistribution and vegetation structural controls on snowmelt altered recharge to control water table depth in the meadow. Even a small-scale removal of PJ (0.5 km2) proximal to the meadow will promote a stable, shallow groundwater system resilient to droughts, while modest increases in temperature will produce a meadow susceptible to declining water levels and a community structure likely to move toward dry and degraded conditions.

AB  - This work focuses broadly on individual, live shrubs and, more specifically, it examines bulk density in chaparral and its combined effects with wind and ignition location on the resulting fire behaviour. Empirical functions to predict bulk density as a function of height for 4-year-old chaparral were developed for two typical species of shrub fuels in southern California, USA, namely chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum Hook & Arn.) and manzanita (Arctostaphylos spp. Adans.). Fuel beds of chamise foliage and small-diameter branches were burned in an open-topped wind tunnel. Three levels of bulk density, two ignition locations and two wind speeds were examined, focusing on overall fire behaviour. Mean maximum mass loss rate, elapsed time at which maximum mass loss rate occurred, flame height, flame angle, peak gas temperature and its peak change rate were measured. The mean maximum mass loss rate was not significantly affected by wind speed, ignition location, bulk density or moisture content. Both wind speed and ignition location significantly affected the time that maximum mass loss rate occurred. Only wind speed affected flame height and flame angle. The peak gas temperature within the shrub burning area was found to be mostly affected by the bulk density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Between 1998 and 2014, recurrent mortality events were reported in the Dresser's subspecies of the Common Eider ( Somateria mollissima dresseri) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, US near Wellfleet Harbor. The early die-offs were attributed to parasitism and emaciation, but beginning in 2006 a suite of distinct lesions was observed concomitant with the isolation of a previously unknown RNA virus. This novel pathogen was identified as an orthomyxovirus in the genus Quaranjavirus and was named Wellfleet Bay virus (WFBV). To assess evidence of exposure to this virus in Common Eiders, we conducted a longitudinal study of the prevalence of WFBV antibodies at multiple locations from 2004-14; we collected 2,258 serum samples from six locations and analyzed each using a microneutralization assay. Results corroborate the emergence of WFBV in 2006 based on the first detection of antibodies in that year. Significantly higher prevalence was detected in Common Eiders sampled in Massachusetts compared to those in Maine, Nova Scotia, and Québec. For birds breeding and wintering in Massachusetss, viral exposure varied by age, sex, and season of sampling, and prevalence by season and sex were highly interrelated with greater numbers of antibody-positive males in the autumn and females in the spring. No evidence of viral exposure was detected in the Northern subspecies ( Somateria mollissima borealis). Among the locations sampled, Massachusetts appears to be the epicenter of Common Eider exposure to WFBV. Further research is warranted to understand the factors controlling the epidemiology of WFBV in Massachussetts, including those that may be limiting geographic expansion of this virus.

AB  - Malignant catarrhal fever-like clinical disease was diagnosed in a free-ranging bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis) from Alberta, Canada, in June 2015. Antemortem and gross pathology findings included muscle atrophy, marked weight loss, and bilaterally symmetric alopecia with hyperpigmentation and crusting over the face, medial surfaces of the pinnae, dorsal trunk, distal limbs, perineal area, and tail. Histologically, the skin lesions were characterized by granulomatous mural folliculitis with numerous multinucleated giant cells and fewer lymphocytes and eosinophils consistent with previous reports of chronic ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2) infection. Multiple skin samples were positive for OvHV-2 DNA on PCR, and on partial sequencing of the viral DNA, there was 94% homology with reference GenBank OvHV-2. Quantitative PCR confirmed an increased level of OvHV-2 DNA in the lesional skin tissues. Based on exclusion of other disease processes, gross and histological lesions, PCR, and viral DNA sequencing results, a diagnosis of OvHV-2-mediated malignant catarrhal fever-like dermatitis was made.

AB  - Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease of cattle ( Bos taurus) caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. Efforts have been made in the US to eradicate the disease in cattle, but spillover into wildlife and subsequent spillback have impeded progress in some states. In particular, infection in white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) has been followed by infection in cattle in some Midwestern states. Infection has also been documented in feral swine ( Sus scrofa) on the Hawaiian island of Molokai and in various European countries, but no large-scale survey of antibody exposure to the bacteria has been conducted in feral swine in the US. We tested 488 sera from feral swine collected near previously documented outbreaks of bovine tuberculosis in cattle and captive cervids, in addition to 2,237 feral swine sera collected across the US from 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014. While all but one of the samples were antibody negative, the results are important for establishing baseline negative data since feral swine are capable reservoirs and could be implicated in future outbreaks of the disease.

AB  - Western Juniper ( Juniperus occidentalis Hook.) has greatly expanded in the past 150 + years and now dominates over 3.6 million ha of rangeland in the Intermountain Western United States. The impacts of juniper encroachment on critical ecohydrological relationships among snow distribution, water budgets, plant community transitions, and habitat requirements for wildlife, such as the greater sage grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ), remain poorly understood. The goal of this study is to better understand how juniper encroachment affects water availability for ecohydrologic processes and associated wildlife habitat in snow-dominated sagebrush ( Artemisia spp.) steppe ecosystems. A 6-yr combined measurement and modeling study is conducted to explore differences in snow distribution, water availability, and annual water balances between juniper-dominated and sagebrush-dominated catchments. Although there is large interannual variability in both measured weather data and modeled hydrologic fluxes during the study, results indicate that juniper-dominated catchments have greater peak accumulations of snow water equivalent, earlier snow melt, and less streamflow relative to sagebrush-dominated catchments. Water delivery is delayed by an average of 9 days in the sagebrush-dominated scenario compared with the juniper-dominated scenario as a result of increased water storage in snow drifts. The delayed water input to sagebrush-dominated ecosystems in typical water years has wide-ranging implications for available surface water, soil water, and vegetation dynamics associated with wildlife habitat for sagebrush obligates such as sage grouse. Results from this study imply that the retention of high-elevation, sagebrush-dominated landscapes may become crucial for sage grouse habitat management if mid- and low-elevation precipitation continues to transition from snow to rain dominated.

AB  - Invasive woody plant expansion is a primary threat driving fragmentation and loss of sagebrush ( Artemisia spp.) and prairie habitats across the central and western United States. Expansion of native woody plants, including conifer (primarily Juniperus spp.) and mesquite ( Prosopis spp.), over the past century is primarily attributable to wildfire suppression, historic periods of intensive livestock grazing, and changes in climate. To guide successful conservation programs aimed at reducing top-down stressors, we mapped invasive woody plants at regional scales to evaluate landscape level impacts, target restoration actions, and monitor restoration outcomes. Our overarching goal was to produce seamless regional products across sociopolitical boundaries with resolution fine enough to depict the spatial extent and degree of woody plant invasion relevant to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) conservation efforts. We mapped tree canopy cover at 1-m spatial resolution across an 11-state region (508 265 km 2 ). Greater than 90% of occupied lesser prairie-chicken habitat was largely treeless for conifers (< 1% canopy cover), whereas > 67% was treeless for mesquite. Conifers in the higher canopy cover classes (16 − 50% and > 50% canopy cover) were scarce (< 2% and 1% canopy cover), as was mesquite (< 5% and 1% canopy cover). Occupied habitat by sage-grouse was more variable but also had a relatively large proportion of treeless areas ( x − = 71, SE = 5%). Low to moderate levels of conifer cover (1 − 20%) were fewer ( x − = 23, SE = 5%) as were areas in the highest cover class (> 50%; x − = 6, SE = 2%). Mapping indicated that a high proportion of invading woody plants are at a low to intermediate level. Canopy cover maps for conifer and mesquite resulting from this study provide the first and most geographically complete, high-resolution assessment of woody plant cover as a top-down threat to western sage-steppe and prairie ecosystems.

AB  - Juniper and piñon coniferous woodlands have increased 2- to 10-fold in nine ecoregions spanning the Intermountain Region of the western United States. Control of piñon-juniper woodlands by mechanical treatments and prescribed fire are commonly applied to recover sagebrush steppe rangelands. Recently, the Sage Grouse Initiative has made conifer removal a major part of its program to reestablish sagebrush habitat for sage grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ) and other species. We analyzed data sets from previous and ongoing studies across the Great Basin characterizing cover response of perennial and annual forbs that are consumed by sage grouse to mechanical, prescribed fire, and low-disturbance fuel reduction treatments. There were 11 sites in western juniper ( Juniperus occidentalis Hook.) woodlands, 3 sites in singleleaf piñon ( Pinus monophylla Torr. & Frém.) and Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma [Torr.] Little), 2 sites in Utah juniper, and 2 sites in Utah juniper and Colorado piñon ( Pinus edulis Engelm). Western juniper sites were located in mountain big sagebrush ( A. tridentata ssp. vaseyana ) steppe associations, and the other woodlands were located in Wyoming big sagebrush ( A. tridentata ssp. wyomingensis ) associations. Site potential appears to be a major determinant for increasing perennial forbs consumed by sage grouse following conifer control. The cover response of perennial forbs, whether increasing (1.5- to 6-fold) or exhibiting no change, was similar regardless of conifer treatment. Annual forbs favored by sage grouse benefitted most from prescribed fire treatments with smaller increases following mechanical and fuel reduction treatments. Though forb abundance may not consistently be enhanced, mechanical and fuel reduction conifer treatments remain good preventative measures, especially in phase 1 and 2 woodlands, which, at minimum, maintain forbs on the landscape. In addition, these two conifer control measures, in the short term, are superior to prescribed fire for maintaining the essential habitat characteristics of sagebrush steppe for sage grouse.

AB  - Management of conservation-reliant species can be complicated by the need to manage ecosystem processes that operate at extended temporal horizons. One such process is the role of fire in regulating abundance of expanding conifers that disrupt sage-grouse habitat in the northern Great Basin of the United States. Removing conifers by cutting has a beneficial effect on sage-grouse habitat. However, effects may last only a few decades because conifer seedlings are not controlled and the seed bank is fully stocked. Fire treatment may be preferred because conifer control lasts longer than for mechanical treatments. The amount of conservation needed to control conifers at large temporal and spatial scales can be quantified by multiplying land area by the time needed for conifer abundance to progress to critical thresholds (i.e., “conservation volume”). The contribution of different treatments in arresting conifer succession can be calculated by dividing conservation volume by the duration of treatment effect. We estimate that fire has approximately twice the treatment life of cutting at time horizons approaching 100 yr, but, has high up-front conservation costs due to temporary loss of sagebrush. Cutting has less up-front conservation costs because sagebrush is unaffected, but it is more expensive over longer management time horizons because of decreased durability. Managing conifers within sage-grouse habitat is difficult because of the necessity to maintain the majority of the landscape in sagebrush habitat and because the threshold for negative conifer effects occurs fairly early in the successional process. The time needed for recovery of sagebrush creates limits to fire use in managing sage-grouse habitat. Utilizing a combination of fire and cutting treatments is most financially and ecologically sustainable over long time horizons involved in managing conifer-prone sage-grouse habitat.

AB  - Post-wildfire flooding and erosion can threaten lives, property and natural resources. Increased peak flows and sediment delivery due to the loss of surface vegetation cover and fire-induced changes in soil properties are of great concern to public safety. Burn severity maps derived from remote sensing data reflect fire-induced changes in vegetative cover and soil properties. Slope, soils, land cover and climate are also important factors that require consideration. Many modelling tools and datasets have been developed to assist remediation teams, but process-based and spatially explicit models are currently underutilised compared with simpler, lumped models because they are difficult to set up and require properly formatted spatial inputs. To facilitate the use of models in conjunction with remote sensing observations, we developed an online spatial database that rapidly generates properly formatted modelling datasets modified by user-supplied soil burn severity maps. Although assembling spatial model inputs can be both challenging and time-consuming, the methods we developed to rapidly update these inputs in response to a natural disaster are both simple and repeatable. Automating the creation of model inputs facilitates the wider use of more accurate, process-based models for spatially explicit predictions of post-fire erosion and runoff. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of best management practices (BMPs) on nutrient load reduction from rice paddy fields. Three different fertilizations were considered as the study BMPs: slow-release chemical fertilizer (SC), swine compost manure (CM) and swine liquid manure (LM). Two experiments were conducted independently in fields with sizes of 100 × 40 m in the Saemangeum region. One experiment was conducted at Iksan City to compare conventional chemical fertilizer (CA) with SC in non-point source (NPS) surface runoff, while the other was conducted at Kimje City to compare chemical fertilizer (CB) with CM and LM. Nutrient surface discharge from the SC-treated paddy was 50-55% less than from the CA-treated paddy. The nutrient loads from the LM- and CM-treated fields were 18-48% less than the CB field. This indicates that the SC, CM and LM applications can effectively reduce paddy surface nutrient loads and thus be alternatives to chemical fertilizer application. However, rice yield was slightly decreased (by approximately 7.5%) in the SC-treated field compared to the CA-treated field. With certain compensation measures for the economic losses, the alternative fertilization can be sustainable ways for paddy nutrient load reduction. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB  - Résumé Cette étude a été réalisée pour évaluer l'effet de la réduction des nutriments de rizicole en cas d'introduction de meilleures pratiques de gestion (MPG) comme les engrais chimique à libération lente (SC), le compost de fumier porcin (CM) et le lisier de porcs (LM). Ces trois engrais ont été testés en comparant la pratique des engrais chimiques traditionnels (CA, CB) sur le bassin versant Saemangeum en 2013. Le flux de nutriments des rizières traitées avec des SC était inférieur de 50 à 55% de celles traitées par CA. Le flux des nutriments des rizières traitées avec des LM et CM était inférieur de 18 à 48% à celles traitées avec des CB. Ce résultat montre que l'application des SC, CM et LM peut réduire le flux des nutriments des rizières et constituer ainsi une alternative à l'utilisation de la fertilisation chimique. Mais le rendement du riz des rizières traitées avec des SC a diminué de 7.5% par rapport à celles traitées avec des CA. Avec l'application de certaines mesures de compensation pour les pertes économiques des agriculteurs, la mise en œuvre de la fertilisation alternative peut-être adaptée à la réduction des flux en éléments nutritifs des rizières.

AB  - Public policies are promoting biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuel consumption in order to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the mitigation benefit can be at least partially compromised by emissions occurring during feedstock production. One of the key sources of GHG emissions from biofuel feedstock production, as well as conventional crops, is soil nitrous oxide (NO), which is largely driven by nitrogen (N) management. Our objective was to determine how much GHG emissions could be reduced by encouraging alternative N management practices through application of nitrification inhibitors and a cap on N fertilization. We used the US Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS2) as the basis for a case study to evaluate technical and economic drivers influencing the N management mitigation strategies. We estimated soil NO emissions using the DayCent ecosystem model and applied the US Forest and Agricultural Sector Optimization Model with Greenhouse Gases (FASOMGHG) to project GHG emissions for the agricultural sector, as influenced by biofuel scenarios and N management options. Relative to the current RSF2 policy with no N management interventions, results show decreases in NO emissions ranging from 3 to 4 % for the agricultural sector (5.5-6.5 million metric tonnes CO eq. year; 1 million metric tonnes is equivalent to a Teragram) in response to a cap that reduces N fertilizer application and even larger reductions with application of nitrification inhibitors, ranging from 9 to 10 % (15.5-16.6 million tonnes CO eq. year). The results demonstrate that climate and energy policies promoting biofuel production could consider options to manage the N cycle with alternative fertilization practices for the agricultural sector and likely enhance the mitigation of GHG emissions associated with biofuels.

AB  - Fungi interact with their environment by secreting proteins to obtain nutrients, elicit responses and modify their surroundings. Because the set of proteins secreted by a fungus is related to its lifestyle, it should be possible to use it as a tool to predict fungal lifestyle. To test this hypothesis, we bioinformatically identified 538 and 554 secretable proteins in the monokaryotic strains PC9 and PC15 of the white rot basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus. Functional annotation revealed unknown functions (37.2%), glycosyl hydrolases (26.5%) and redox enzymes (11.5%) as the main groups in the two strains. When these results were combined with RNA-seq analyses, we found that the relative importance of each group was different in different strains and culture conditions and the relevance of the unknown function proteins was enhanced. Only a few genes were actively expressed in a given culture condition in expanded multigene families, suggesting that family expansi on could increase adaptive opportunities rather than activity under a specific culture condition. Finally, we used the set of P. ostreatus secreted proteins as a query to search their counterparts in other fungal genomes and found that the secretome profiles cluster the tested basidiomycetes into lifestyle rather than phylogenetic groups.

AB  - Model-based global projections of future land-use and land-cover ( LULC) change are frequently used in environmental assessments to study the impact of LULC change on environmental services and to provide decision support for policy. These projections are characterized by a high uncertainty in terms of quantity and allocation of projected changes, which can severely impact the results of environmental assessments. In this study, we identify hotspots of uncertainty, based on 43 simulations from 11 global-scale LULC change models representing a wide range of assumptions of future biophysical and socioeconomic conditions. We attribute components of uncertainty to input data, model structure, scenario storyline and a residual term, based on a regression analysis and analysis of variance. From this diverse set of models and scenarios, we find that the uncertainty varies, depending on the region and the LULC type under consideration. Hotspots of uncertainty appear mainly at the edges of globally important biomes (e.g., boreal and tropical forests). Our results indicate that an important source of uncertainty in forest and pasture areas originates from different input data applied in the models. Cropland, in contrast, is more consistent among the starting conditions, while variation in the projections gradually increases over time due to diverse scenario assumptions and different modeling approaches. Comparisons at the grid cell level indicate that disagreement is mainly related to LULC type definitions and the individual model allocation schemes. We conclude that improving the quality and consistency of observational data utilized in the modeling process and improving the allocation mechanisms of LULC change models remain important challenges. Current LULC representation in environmental assessments might miss the uncertainty arising from the diversity of LULC change modeling approaches, and many studies ignore the uncertainty in LULC projections in assessments of LULC change impacts on climate, water resources or biodiversity.

AB  - Severe economic damage from citrus greening disease, caused by 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' bacteria, has stimulated development of methods to reduce mating and reproduction in populations of its insect vector, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Male D. citri find mating partners by walking on host plants, intermittently producing vibrational calls that stimulate duetting replies by receptive females. The replies provide orientational feedback, assisting the search process. To test a hypothesis that D. citri mating can be disrupted using vibrational signals that compete with and/or mask female replies, courtship bioassays were conducted in citrus trees with or without interference from female reply mimics produced by a vibrating buzzer. Statistically significant reductions occurred in the rates and proportions of mating when the buzzer produced reply mimics within 0.4 s after male courtship calls compared with undisturbed controls. Observations of courtship behaviors in the two bioassays revealed activity patterns that likely contributed to the reductions. In both disruption and control tests, males reciprocated frequently between structural bifurcations and other transition points where signal amplitudes changed. Males in the disruption bioassay had to select among vibrational signals combined from the buzzer and the female at each transition point. They often turned towards the buzzer instead of the female. There was a statistically significant reduction in the proportion of males mating if they contacted the buzzer, possibly due to its higher vibration amplitude and duration in comparison with female replies. Potential applications of D. citri mating disruption technology in citrus groves are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alien plant pests are introduced into new areas at unprecedented rates through global trade, transport, tourism and travel, threatening biodiversity and agriculture. Increasingly, the movement and introduction of pests is analysed with pathway models to provide risk managers with quantitative estimates of introduction risks and effectiveness of management options. Pathway models vary greatly in mathematical form, level of detail, treatment of uncertainty and variability, as well as terminology. We conducted an overview and cluster analysis of pathway models to guide risk assessors, risk managers and model developers. We performed divisive hierarchical clustering on models retrieved from the peer-reviewed and grey literature to characterise and categorize the currently used modelling approaches. We distinguish two clusters of models based on product volume flows and two clusters of models based on the movement of individual agents. The first cluster of flow-based models describes a flow of infested material from origins to destinations according to fixed partitioning coefficients. These deterministic models can account for consequences of parameter variability and uncertainty. The second and third clusters of pathway models incorporate stochasticity in processes, and are respectively flow-based or agent-based. Models in the fourth cluster account for interactions between agents and nodes in the pathway. Conceptually, there are no fundamental differences between epidemic network models and this last cluster of pathway models. The choice of pathway model depends on the aim of the risk assessment, the available time, expertise and data. Models in clusters 2, 3, and 4 add sophistication and insight in variability to pathway analysis, but under time and data constraints, key objectives of risk assessors and managers can be addressed with models in cluster 1. The four clusters represent a comprehensive and fit for purpose toolbox of models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Knowledge regarding the economic impacts of predicted increases in seasonal precipitation variability on cow-calf enterprises, through influences of precipitation on both forage and cattle productivity, is needed by land managers for developing risk management strategies. Here we use existing forage production and cattle performance data from the northern mixed-grass prairie, coupled with spring precipitation and economic data, in a ranch-level mathematical programming model. We estimate economic impacts across a 35-yr planning period with 100 iterations of different price cycles including five levels of increasing spring precipitation variation (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% increases), examining the impact of resulting forage production and calf gain. Annual expected profit variability increases largely due to the increase in herd number variability rather than variability in calf gains. Overall, as seasonal precipitation variation increases, higher annual expected profit variability results in greater risk of negative returns from cattle. An important implication from our results is that the positive benefits of wet years do not overcome the negative impacts of the dry years given relationships among precipitation, forage production, and calf gains used in our model. Results indicate greater profitability in generally maintaining lower herd numbers as seasonal precipitation becomes more variable. The results also illustrate the need for producers to diversify their operation and/or income sources if they are to cope with increased precipitation variability even if mean annual precipitation remains constant.

AB  - Many recent wildfires in ponderosa pine ( Pinus ponderosa Lawson & C. Lawson) – dominated forests of the western United States have burned more severely than historical ones, generating concern about forest resilience. This concern stems from uncertainty about the ability of ponderosa pine and other co-occurring conifers to regenerate in areas where no surviving trees remain. We collected post-fire conifer regeneration and other data within and surrounding five 11–18 year-old Colorado Front Range wildfires to examine whether high severity burn areas (i.e., areas without surviving trees) are regenerating, and how regeneration density is related to abiotic and biotic factors such as distance from surviving forest, elevation, and aspect. We found that some conifer regeneration has occurred in high severity burn areas (mean and median of 118 and 0 stems ha −1 , respectively), but at densities that were considerably lower than those in unburned and in low to moderate severity burn areas. Generalized estimating equation analyses revealed that distance from surviving forest was the most important predictor of conifer regeneration in high severity burn areas, with regeneration declining as distance from surviving forest increased; estimates of conifer regeneration were 211 stems ha −1 immediately adjacent to surviving forest but only 10 stems ha −1 200 m from surviving forest. These analyses also revealed that conifer regeneration densities declined as elevation decreased. Regression tree analyses likewise showed that distance from surviving forest and elevation were important predictors of conifer regeneration in high severity burn areas; within 50 m of surviving forest mean (median) regeneration was 150 (0) stems ha −1 at elevations ⩽2490 m and 1120 (1000) stems ha −1 at elevations >2490 m, but at distances ⩾50 m from surviving forest mean (median) regeneration was only 49 (0) stems ha −1 , regardless of elevation. Applying regression tree results spatially to the 2002 Hayman Fire, Colorado’s largest and most severe known wildfire, we found that 70% of the area without surviving forest exceeded this 50 m threshold. These patterns of conifer regeneration suggest that Colorado Front Range ponderosa pine – dominated forests may not be resilient to high severity wildfire, particularly where surviving forest is not in close proximity. We recommend that land managers consider planting conifers within the interiors of large high severity burn patches, as well as implementing treatments to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic high severity wildfire in unburned forests, where maintaining a forested condition is desired.

AB  - Avian influenza viruses affect both poultry production and public health. A subtype H5N8 (clade 2.3.4.4) virus, following an outbreak in poultry in South Korea in January 2014, rapidly spread worldwide in 2014–2015. Our analysis of H5N8 viral sequences, epidemiological investigations, waterfowl migration, and poultry trade showed that long-distance migratory birds can play a major role in the global spread of avian influenza viruses. Further, we found that the hemagglutinin of clade 2.3.4.4 virus was remarkably promiscuous, creating reassortants with multiple neuraminidase subtypes. Improving our understanding of the circumpolar circulation of avian influenza viruses in migratory waterfowl will help to provide early warning of threats from avian influenza to poultry, and potentially human, health.

AB  - Following wildfires, forest managers often consider salvage logging burned trees to recover monetary value of timber, reduce fuel loads, or to meet other objectives. Relatively little is known about the cumulative hydrologic effects of wildfire and subsequent timber harvest using logging equipment. We used controlled rill experiments in logged and unlogged (control) forests burned at high severity in northern Montana, eastern Washington, and southern British Columbia to quantify rill overland flow and sediment production rates (fluxes) after ground-based salvage logging. We tested different types of logging equipment—feller-bunchers, tracked and wheeled skidders, and wheeled forwarders—as well as traffic levels and the addition of slash to skid trails as a best management practice. Rill experiments were done at each location in the first year after the fire and repeated in subsequent years. Logging was completed in the first or second post-fire year. We found that ground-based logging using heavy equipment compacted soil, reduced soil water repellency, and reduced vegetation cover. Vegetation recovery rates were slower in most logged areas than the controls. Runoff rates were higher in the skidder and forwarder plots than their respective controls in the Montana and Washington sites in the year that logging occurred, and the difference in runoff between the skidder and control plots at the British Columbia site was nearly significant (p = 0.089). Most of the significant increases in runoff in the logged plots persisted for subsequent years. The type of skidder, the addition of slash, and the amount of forwarder traffic did not significantly affect the runoff rates. Across the three sites, rill sediment fluxes were 5–1900% greater in logged plots than the controls in the year of logging, and the increases were significant for all logging treatments except the low use forwarder trails. There was no difference in the first-year sediment fluxes between the feller-buncher and tracked skidder plots, but the feller-buncher fluxes were lower than the values from the wheeled skidder plots. Manually adding slash after logging did not affect sediment flux rates. There were no significant changes in the control sediment fluxes over time, and none of the logging equipment impacted plots produced greater sediment fluxes than the controls in the second or third year after logging. Our results indicate that salvage logging increases the risk of sedimentation regardless of equipment type and amount of traffic, and that specific best management practices are needed to mitigate the hydrologic impacts of post-fire salvage logging.

AB  - The recent accumulation of newly discovered fungal-bacterial mutualisms challenges the paradigm that fungi and bacteria are natural antagonists. To understand the mechanisms that govern the establishment and maintenance over evolutionary time of mutualisms between fungi and bacteria, we studied a symbiosis of the fungus Rhizopus microsporus (Mucoromycotina) and its Burkholderia endobacteria. We found that nonhost R. microsporus, as well as other mucoralean fungi, interact antagonistically with endobacteria derived from the host and are not invaded by them. Comparison of gene expression profiles of host and nonhost fungi during interaction with endobacteria revealed dramatic changes in expression of lipid metabolic genes in the host. Analysis of the host lipidome confirmed that symbiosis establishment was accompanied by specific changes in the fungal lipid profile. Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) activity was important for these lipid metabolic changes, as its inhibition altered the fungal lipid profile and caused a shift in the host-bacterial interaction into an antagonism. We conclude that adjustments in host lipid metabolism during symbiosis establishment, mediated by DGKs, are required for the mutualistic outcome of the Rhizopus-Burkholderia symbiosis. In addition, the neutral and phospholipid profiles of R. microsporus provide important insights into lipid metabolism in an understudied group of oleaginous Mucoromycotina. Lastly, our study revealed that the DGKs involved in the symbiosis form a previously uncharacterized clade of DGK domain proteins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Sugarcane is a subtropical crop that produces large amounts of biomass annually. It is a key agricultural crop in many countries for the production of sugar and other products. Residual bagasse following sucrose extraction is currently underutilized and it has potential as a carbohydrate source for the production of biofuels. As with all lignocellulosic crops, lignin acts as a barrier to accessing the polysaccharides, and as such, is the focus of transgenic efforts. In this study, we used RNAi to individually reduce the expression of three key genes in the lignin biosynthetic pathway in sugarcane. These genes, caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT), ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H) and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT), impact lignin content and/or composition. Results: For each RNAi construct, we selected three events for further analysis based on qRT-PCR results. For the CCoAOMT lines, there were no lines with a reduction in lignin content and only one line showed improved glucose release. For F5H, no lines had reduced lignin, but one line had a significant increase in glucose release. For COMT, one line had reduced lignin content, and this line and another released higher levels of glucose during enzymatic hydrolysis. Two of the lines with improved glucose release (F5H-2 and COMT-2) also had reduced S:G ratios. Conclusions: Along with improvements in bagasse quality for the production of lignocellulosic-based fuels, there was only one line with reduction in juice sucrose extraction, and three lines with significantly improved sucrose production, providing evidence that the alteration of sugarcane for improved lignocellulosic ethanol production can be achieved without negatively impacting sugar production and perhaps even enhancing it.

AB  - ObjectiveMeasurement error in self-reported total sugars intake may obscure associations between sugars consumption and health outcomes, and the sum of 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose may serve as a predictive biomarker of total sugars intake.DesignThe Study of Latinos: Nutrition & Physical Activity Assessment Study (SOLNAS) was an ancillary study to the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort. Doubly labelled water and 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were used as biomarkers of energy and sugars intake, respectively. Participants’ diets were assessed by up to three 24 h recalls (88 % had two or more recalls). Procedures were repeated approximately 6 months after the initial visit among a subset of ninety-six participants.SettingFour centres (Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; San Diego, CA) across the USA.SubjectsMen and women (n 477) aged 18–74 years.ResultsThe geometric mean of total sugars was 167·5 (95 % CI 154·4, 181·7) g/d for the biomarker-predicted and 90·6 (95 % CI 87·6, 93·6) g/d for the self-reported total sugars intake. Self-reported total sugars intake was not correlated with biomarker-predicted sugars intake (r=−0·06, P=0·20, n 450). Among the reliability sample (n 90), the reproducibility coefficient was 0·59 for biomarker-predicted and 0·20 for self-reported total sugars intake.ConclusionsPossible explanations for the lack of association between biomarker-predicted and self-reported sugars intake include measurement error in self-reported diet, high intra-individual variability in sugars intake, and/or urinary sucrose and fructose may not be a suitable proxy for total sugars intake in this study population.

AB  - Efficient and cost-effective removal of radioactive pertechnetate anions from nuclear waste is a key challenge to mitigate long-term nuclear waste storage issues. Traditional materials such as resins and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were evaluated for their pertechnetate or perrhenate (the non-radioactive surrogate) removal capacity, but there is room for improvement in terms of capacity, selectivity and kinetics. A series of functionalized hierarchical porous frameworks were evaluated for their perrhenate removal capacity in the presence of other competing anions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Leptospirosis is considered the most widespread of zoonotic diseases. It was a notifiable disease in the United States until 1995 and was reinstated to the list of nationally notifiable diseases in 2014. During the time of national surveillance, Hawaii consistently led the nation in reported annual incidence rates. Leptospirosis has remained a reportable disease in Hawaii. Significant changes have been documented since the early 1970s in the predominant serogroup infecting humans in Hawaii: infections due to Icterohaemorrhagiae have declined while infections due to Australis have increased. A recent study from Hawaii demonstrated that Australis was an uncommon infecting serogroup for small mammal hosts. Swine have not been previously studied in Hawaii but are well-recognized maintenance hosts for leptospires belonging to the Australis serogroup. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of Leptospira antibody in feral swine in Hawaii. From January 2007 through December 2009, blood samples were collected opportunistically from feral swine. Using the microscopic agglutination test, we found antibody titres ≥1 : 100 to leptospires in 272 (33.8%) of 804 feral swine. The most frequently reacting serovars to the swine sera were Icterohaemorrhagiae (Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup) (41.5%) and Bratislava (Australis serogroup) (33.8%). The high seroprevalence and presumptively infecting serovars suggest a link between swine and human infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Quercetin is one of the most abundant polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables. The ability of the gut microbiota to metabolize quercetin has been previously documented; however, the effect that quercetin may have on commensal gut microbes remains unclear. In the present study, the effects of quercetin on the commensal gut microbes Ruminococcus gauvreauii , Bifidobacterium catenulatum and Enterococcus caccae were determined through evaluation of growth patterns and cell morphology, and analysis of genetic expression profiles between quercetin treated and non-treated groups using Single Molecule RNA sequencing via Helicos technology. Results of this study revealed that phenotypically, quercetin did not prevent growth of Ruminococcus gauvreauii , mildly suppressed growth of Bifidobacterium catenulatum, and moderately inhibited growth of Enterococcus caccae. Genetic analysis revealed that in response to quercetin, Ruminococcus gauvreauii down regulated genes responsible for protein folding, purine synthesis and metabolism. Bifidobacterium catenulatum increased expression of the ABC transport pathway and decreased metabolic pathways and cell wall synthesis. Enterococcus caccae upregulated genes responsible for energy production and metabolism, and downregulated pathways of stress response, translation and sugar transport. For the first time, the effect of quercetin on the growth and genetic expression of three different commensal gut bacteria was documented. The data provides insight into the interactions between genetic regulation and growth. This is also a unique demonstration of how RNA single molecule sequencing can be used to study the gut microbiota. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A pedigreed rainbow trout population (~ 100 families per generation) was selected for five generations to improve growth performance to the standard ~ 500-gram US market weight and beyond (> 1 kg). Body weights (BW) were recorded each generation at 5, 8, 10, and 13 months post-hatch. Selection was applied to a two-trait index of estimated breeding values for 10-month body weight (i.e., approximate market weight) and thermal growth coefficient between 10 and 13 months, and both traits were given equal weighting in the index. Objectives of this study were to estimate direct selection responses for BW traits and thermal growth coefficient, and correlated response for condition factor traits. Heritability estimates were 0.28 ± 0.08 to 0.43 ± 0.14 for BW between 5 and 13 months post-hatch, 0.12 ± 0.03 for thermal growth coefficient, and 0.40 ± 0.04 and 0.36 ± 0.04 for condition factor at 10 and 13 months post-hatch, respectively. Genetic correlations among the four BW measures were highest between adjacent BW measures (0.54 ± 0.19 to 0.82 ± 0.05) and decreased as time between measures increased. Genetic correlation between thermal growth coefficient and 10-month BW was low (0.18 ± 0.13), and genetic correlations between condition factor and BW measured at the same age were moderate (0.39 ± 0.09 to 0.45 ± 0.08). Compared to randomly-mated control lines, selection response in the selected line averaged 10.6% (5-month BW), 9.8% (8-month BW), 12.7% (10-month BW), 11.9% (13-month BW), 2.1% (thermal growth coefficient), 3.4% (10-month condition factor), and 3.3% (13-month condition factor) per generation. The rate of inbreeding averaged 0.86% per generation in the selection line, with a cumulative inbreeding estimate of 4.5% in the last generation. The low heritability of thermal growth coefficient, and low genetic correlation with 10-month BW, resulted in only modest selection response for thermal growth coefficient. Larger heritabilities of BW measured at fixed ages, and large genetic correlations between serial BW measures, suggest that direct selection on BW will be more favorable than selection on TGC. This study demonstrates the large and sustained potential for genetic improvement of growth performance in domesticated rainbow trout with only modest accumulation of inbreeding, and provides empirical selection response estimates that have direct inference to commercial breeding programs aiming to select for growth to larger market BW. Statement of relevance Quantitative genetics data from this relatively long-term and large-scale selective breeding program have direct inference to commercial breeding programs selecting for improved growth, but for which maintenance of control lines is not practical.

AB  - With Cs9Pt4H a new representative of ionic compounds featuring metal anions can be added to this rare-membered family. Cs9Pt4H exhibits a complex crystal structure containing Cs+ cations, Pt2− and H− anions. Being a red, transparent compound its band gap is in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the ionic type of bonding is confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. This cesium platinide hydride can formally be considered as a double salt of the 'alloy' cesium-platinum, or better cesium platinide, Cs2Pt, and the salt cesium hydride CsH according to Cs9Pt4H≡4 Cs2Pt⋅CsH.

AB  - Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transfer of genetic material across species boundaries and has been a driving force in prokaryotic evolution. HGT involving eukaryotes appears to be much less frequent, and the functional implications of HGT in eukaryotes are poorly understood. We test the hypothesis that parasitic plants, because of their intimate feeding contacts with host plant tissues, are especially prone to horizontal gene acquisition. We sought evidence of HGTs in transcriptomes of three parasitic members of Orobanchaceae, a plant family containing species spanning the full spectrum of parasitic capabilities, plus the free-living Lindenbergia. Following initial phylogenetic detection and an extensive validation procedure, 52 high-confidence horizontal transfer events were detected, often from lineages of known host plants and with an increasing number of HGT events in species with the greatest parasitic dependence. Analyses of intron sequences in putative donor and recipient lineages provide evidence for integration of genomic fragments far more often than retro-processed RNA sequences. Purifying selection predominates in functionally transferred sequences, with a small fraction of adaptively evolving sites. HGT-acquired genes are preferentially expressed in the haustorium--the organ of parasitic plants--and are strongly biased in predicted gene functions, suggesting that expression products of horizontally acquired genes are contributing to the unique adaptive feeding structure of parasitic plants.

AB  - Knowledge of soybean yield constraints under rainfed conditions on major soil types in East Central Mississippi would assist growers in the region to effectively utilize the benefits of water/irrigation management. The objectives of this study were to use the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) agro-ecosystem model to simulate rainfed soybean grain yield (GY) for nine major soils during 14 years (2002–2015) and then to evaluate selected model inputs/outputs in relation to irrigation management that may decrease difference in simulated GY among the different soils. Values for GY ranged broadly from 2.24 to 6.14 Mg ha −1 across soils and years, giving a maximum yield difference of 3.90 Mg ha −1 . For the average GY of nine soils, the range was from 3.52 to 5.42 Mg ha −1 over 14 years. Averaged across 14 years, GY ranged from 3.66 to 4.90 Mg ha −1 across the nine soils and was affected by difference in soil texture (clay and sand percentages) and soil available water content (AWC). Simulations revealed relatively high water stress during the R4, R5 and R6 stages of plant development (early- to mid-fruit development), suggesting great potential to enhance soybean yield if some irrigation is provided during these critical water stress periods; whereas, the potential was accordingly less in the normal and wet years. Results indicated installing irrigation on Griffith, Sumter or Demopolis soils would have a large impact through increased crop productivity and yield stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Soybean is generally grown under rainfed conditions in a humid region, Mississippi, USA. In order to determine how much maximum yield could be increased by irrigation, it is crucial to investigate the yield potential ( Y p ) without any drought stress and yield gap ( Y g , between Y p and rainfed yield ( Y w )). Further, it is also important to determine the amount of irrigation water needed to alleviate any drought stress during the entire growing season, and conduct cost-return analysis for irrigated soybean. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to: (1) simulate Y p , analyze Y g and determine the irrigation timing and amount needed to achieve Y p for soybean using the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model; and (2) compute water use efficiency ( WUE ), irrigation water use efficiency ( I WUE ) and conduct the cost-return analysis on irrigation events. Simulated Y p of soybean without water stress for nine soil types from 2002 to 2014 ranged from 4.47 to 6.51 Mg ha −1 , and was strongly correlated with accumulative solar radiation during the growing season (R 2 = 0.71, P ≤ 0.01). The Y g in dry years was much higher than that in normal and wet years, with average Y g of 1.58, 0.60 and 0.71 Mg ha −1 for dry, normal and wet years, respectively. Griffith, Sumter and Demopolis soils had the highest average Y g over 13 years, ranging from 1.37 to 1.60 Mg ha −1 . The average irrigation amount was 308, 192 and 157 mm in dry, normal and wet years, respectively. The average irrigation amount was 75 mm from R1 to R8 stages. The WUE of nine soil types from 2002 to 2014, under non-limiting water conditions, ranged from 9.5 to 13.8 kg ha −1 mm −1 . The magnitude of Y g was the principle factor affecting I WUE among nine soil types. The average I WUE over 13 years ranged from 1.8 to 7.8 kg ha −1 mm −1 for nine soil types. Compared with a rainfed condition, average net return of irrigated soybean increased by 93 $ ha −1 (dollar per hectare) among nine soil types from 2002 to 2014. The average net return increased by 195, 58 and 70 $ ha −1 for dry, normal and wet years, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The availability of genomes across the tree of life is highly biased toward vertebrates, pathogens, human disease models, and organisms with relatively small and simple genomes. Recent progress in genomics has enabled the de novo decoding of the genome of virtually any organism, greatly expanding its potential for understanding the biology and evolution of the full spectrum of biodiversity. The increasing diversity of sequencing technologies, assays, and de novo assembly algorithms have augmented the complexity of de novo genome sequencing projects in nonmodel organisms. To reduce the costs and challenges in de novo genome sequencing projects and streamline their experimental design and analysis, we developed iWGS (in silico Whole Genome Sequencer and Analyzer), an automated pipeline for guiding the choice of appropriate sequencing strategy and assembly protocols. iWGS seamlessly integrates the four key steps of a de novo genome sequencing project: data generation (through simulation), data quality control, de novo assembly, and assembly evaluation and validation. The last three steps can also be applied to the analysis of real data. iWGS is designed to enable the user to have great flexibility in testing the range of experimental designs available for genome sequencing projects, and supports all major sequencing technologies and popular assembly tools. Three case studies illustrate how iWGS can guide the design of de novo genome sequencing projects, and evaluate the performance of a wide variety of user-specified sequencing strategies and assembly protocols on genomes of differing architectures. iWGS, along with a detailed documentation, is freely available at https://github.com/zhouxiaofan1983/iWGS.

AB  - Dimethyl ether (DME) is an alternative to diesel fuel for use in compression-ignition engines with modified fuel systems and offers potential advantages of efficiency improvements and emission reductions. DME can be produced from natural gas (NG) or from renewable feedstocks such as landfill gas (LFG) or renewable natural gas from manure waste streams (MANR) or any other biomass. This study investigates the well-to-wheels (WTW) energy use and emissions of five DME production pathways as compared with those of petroleum gasoline and diesel using the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET®) model developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The five DME pathways include 1) fossil NG with large-scale DME plants, 2) methanol from fossil NG with large-scale plants for both methanol and DME (separately), 3) LFG with small-scale DME plants, 4) manure-based biogas with small-scale DME plants, and 5) methanol from black liquor gasification with small-scale DME plants. This study analyzes DME production and use in the U.S. and Europe, and in two vehicle classes (light and heavy duty vehicles [LDVs and HDVs]). The WTW results show significant reductions in fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by DME compared to gasoline and diesel if DME is produced from LFG and manure-based biogas. When methanol from black liquor is used for DME production, there are reductions in GHG emissions, though smaller than DME produced from LFG and MANR. Meanwhile, fossil NG-based DME produced in large-scale DME plants or from NG-based methanol shows GHG emissions at the similar level as petroleum diesel does. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phenotype microarrays were analyzed for 51 datasets derived from Salmonella enterica . The top 4 serotypes associated with poultry products and one associated with turkey, respectively Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Heidelberg, Infantis and Senftenberg, were represented. Datasets were partitioned initially into two clusters based on ranking by values at pH 4.5 (PM10 A03). Negative control wells were used to establish 90 respiratory units as the point differentiating acid resistance from sensitive strains. Thus, 24 isolates that appeared most acid-resistant were compared initially to 27 that appeared most acid-sensitive (24 × 27 format). Paired cluster analysis was also done and it included the 7 most acid-resistant and -sensitive datasets (7 × 7 format). Statistical analyses of ranked data were then calculated in order of standard deviation, probability value by the Student's t -test and a measure of the magnitude of difference called effect size. Data were reported as significant if, by order of filtering, the following parameters were calculated: i) a standard deviation of 24 respiratory units or greater from all datasets for each chemical, ii) a probability value of less than or equal to 0.03 between clusters and iii) an effect size of at least 0.50 or greater between clusters. Results suggest that between 7.89% and 23.16% of 950 chemicals differentiated acid-resistant isolates from sensitive ones, depending on the format applied. Differences were more evident at the extremes of phenotype using the subset of data in the paired 7 × 7 format. Results thus provide a strategy for selecting compounds for additional research, which may impede the emergence of acid-resistant Salmonella enterica in food. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Commercial tomatoes are widely perceived by consumers as lacking flavor. A major part of that problem is a postharvest handling system that chills fruit. Low-temperature storage is widely used to slow ripening and reduce decay. However, chilling results in loss of flavor. Flavor-associated volatiles are sensitive to temperatures below 12 °C, and their loss greatly reduces flavor quality. Here, we provide a comprehensive view of the effects of chilling on flavor and volatiles associated with consumer liking. Reduced levels of specific volatiles are associated with significant reductions in transcripts encoding key volatile synthesis enzymes. Although expression of some genes critical to volatile synthesis recovers after a return to 20 °C, some genes do not. RNAs encoding transcription factors essential for ripening, including RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN), NONRIPENING, and COLORLESS NONRIPENING are reduced in response to chilling and may be responsible for reduced transcript levels in many downstream genes during chilling. Those reductions are accompanied by major changes in the methylation status of promoters, including RIN. Methylation changes are transient and may contribute to the fidelity of gene expression required to provide maximal beneficial environmental response with minimal tangential influence on broader fruit developmental biology.

AB  - The gate fidelity and the coherence time of a quantum bit (qubit) are important benchmarks for quantum computation. We construct a qubit using a single electron spin in an Si/SiGe quantum dot and control it electrically via an artificial spin-orbit field from a micromagnet. We measure an average single-qubit gate fidelity of ~99% using randomized benchmarking, which is consistent with dephasing from the slowly evolving nuclear spins in the substrate. The coherence time measured using dynamical decoupling extends up to ~400 µs for 128 decoupling pulses, with no sign of saturation. We find evidence that the coherence time is limited by noise in the 10-kHz to 1-MHz range, possibly because charge noise affects the spin via the micromagnet gradient. This work shows that an electron spin in an Si/SiGe quantum dot is a good candidate for quantum information processing as well as for a quantum memory, even without isotopic purification.

AB  - Due to the potential ecological effects on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems from atmospheric deposition in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), Alberta, Canada, this study was implemented to estimate atmospheric nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) inputs. Passive samplers were used to measure ambient concentrations of ammonia (NH 3 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) , nitric acid/nitrous acid (HNO 3 /HONO), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) in the AOSR. Concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 in winter were higher than those in summer, while seasonal differences of NH 3 and HNO 3 /HONO showed an opposite trend, with higher values in summer. Concentrations of NH 3 , NO 2 and SO 2 were high close to the emission sources (oil sands operations and urban areas). NH 3 concentrations were also elevated in the southern portion of the domain indicating possible agricultural and urban emission sources to the southwest. HNO 3 , an oxidation endpoint, showed wider ranges of concentrations and a larger spatial extent. Concentrations of NH 3 , NO 2 , HNO 3 /HONO and SO 2 from passive measurements and their monthly deposition velocities calculated by a multi-layer inference model (MLM) were used to calculate dry deposition of N and S. NH 3 contributed the largest fraction of deposited N across the network, ranging between 0.70–1.25 kg N ha −1 yr −1 , HNO 3 /HONO deposition ranged between 0.30–0.90 kg N ha −1 yr −1 , and NO 2 deposition between 0.03–0.70 kg N ha −1 yr −1 . During the modeled period, average dry deposition of the inorganic gaseous N species ranged between 1.03 and 2.85 kg N ha −1 yr −1 and SO 4 -S deposition ranged between 0.26 and 2.04 kg ha −1 yr −1 . Comparisons with co-measured ion exchange resin throughfall data (8.51 kg S ha −1 yr −1 ) indicate that modeled dry deposition combined with measured wet deposition (1.37 kg S ha −1 yr −1 ) underestimated S deposition. Gas phase NH 3 (71%) and HNO 3 plus NO 2 (79%) dry deposition fluxes dominated the total deposition of NH 4 -N and NO 3 -N, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Microbial synthesis of oleochemicals derived from native fatty acid (FA) metabolism has presented significant advances in recent years. Even so, native FA biosynthetic pathways often provide a narrow variety of usually linear hydrocarbons, thus yielding end products with limited structural diversity. To overcome this limitation, we took advantage of a polyketide synthase-based system from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and developed an Escherichia coli platform with the capacity to synthesize multimethyl-branched long-chain esters (MBE) with novel chemical structures. Results: With the aim to initiate the characterization of these novel waxy compounds, here, we describe the chassis optimization of the MBE producer E. coli strain for an up-scaled oil production. By carrying out systematic metabolic engineering, we improved the final titer to 138.1 ± 5.3 mg MBE L-1 in batch cultures. Fed-batch microbial fermentation process was also optimized achieving a maximum yield of 790.2 ± 6.9 mg MBE L-1 with a volumetric productivity of 15.8 ± 1.1 mg MBE (L h)-1. Purified MBE oil was subjected to various physicochemical analyses, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and pressurized-differential scanning calorimetry (P-DSC) studies. Conclusions: The analysis of the pour point, DSC, and P-DSC data obtained showed that bacterial MBE possess improved cold flow properties than several plant oils and some chemically modified derivatives, while exhibiting high oxidation stability at elevated temperatures. These encouraging data indicate that the presence of multiple methyl branches in these novel esters, indeed, conferred favorable properties which are superior to those of linear esters.

AB  - ObjectiveTo examine the association of both perceived and geographic neighbourhood food access with food security status among households with children.DesignThis was a cross-sectional study in which participants’ perceptions of neighbourhood food access were assessed by a standard survey instrument, and geographic food access was evaluated by distance to the nearest supermarket. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the associations.SubjectsThe Midlands Family Study included 544 households with children in eight counties in South Carolina, USA. Food security status among participants was classified into three categories: food secure (FS), food insecure (FI) and very low food security among children (VLFS-C).ResultsCompared with FS households, VLFS-C households had lower odds of reporting easy access to adequate food shopping. VLFS-C households also had lower odds of reporting neighbourhood access to affordable fruits and vegetables compared with FS households and reported worse selection of fruits and vegetables, quality of fruits and vegetables, and selection of low-fat products. FI households had lower odds of reporting fewer opportunities to purchase fast food. None of the geographic access measures was significantly associated with food security status.ConclusionsCaregivers with children who experienced hunger perceived that they had less access to healthy affordable food in their community, even though grocery stores were present. Approaches to improve perceived access to healthy affordable food should be considered as part of the overall approach to improving food security and eliminating child hunger. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bacteria can be both highly communicative and highly competitive in natural habitats and antibiotics are thought to play a role in both of these processes. The soil bacterium P seudomonas protegens Pf-5 produces a spectrum of antibiotics, two of which, pyoluteorin and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol ( DAPG), function in intracellular and intercellular communication, both as autoinducers of their own production. Here, we demonstrate that phloroglucinol, an intermediate in DAPG biosynthesis, can serve as an intercellular signal influencing the expression of pyoluteorin biosynthesis genes, the production of pyoluteorin, and inhibition of P ythium ultimum, a phytopathogenic oomycete sensitive to pyoluteorin. Through analysis of RNAseq data sets, we show that phloroglucinol had broad effects on the transcriptome of Pf-5, significantly altering the transcription of more than two hundred genes. The effects of nanomolar versus micromolar concentrations of phloroglucinol differed both quantitatively and qualitatively, influencing the expression of distinct sets of genes or having opposite effects on transcript abundance of certain genes. Therefore, our results support the concept of hormesis, a phenomenon associated with signalling molecules that elicit distinct responses at different concentrations. Phloroglucinol is the first example of an intermediate of antibiotic biosynthesis that functions as a chemical messenger influencing gene expression in P . protegens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Swarming motility is a flagella-driven multicellular behaviour that allows bacteria to colonize new niches and escape competition. Here, we investigated the evolution of specific mutations in the GacS/GacA two-component regulatory system in swarming colonies of Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5. Experimental evolution assays showed that repeated rounds of swarming by wildtype Pf-5 drives the accumulation of gacS/gacA spontaneous mutants on the swarming edge. These mutants cannot swarm on their own because they lack production of the biosurfactant orfamide A, but they do co-swarm with orfamide-producing wildtype Pf-5. These co-swarming assays further demonstrated that Δ gacA mutant cells indeed predominate on the edge and that initial Δ gacA:wildtype Pf-5 ratios of at least 2:1 lead to a collapse of the swarming colony. Subsequent whole-genome transcriptome analyses revealed that genes associated with motility, resource acquisition, chemotaxis and efflux were significantly upregulated in Δ gacA mutant on swarming medium. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy showed that Δ gacA mutant cells were longer and more flagellated than wildtype cells, which may explain their predominance on the swarming edge. We postulate that adaptive evolution through point mutations is a common feature of range-expanding microbial populations and that the putative fitness benefits of these mutations during dispersal of bacteria into new territories are frequency-dependent.

AB  - Pseudomonas protegens strain Pf-5 is a soil bacterium that was first described for its capacity to suppress plant diseases and has since been shown to be lethal to certain insects. Among these is the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a well-established model organism for studies evaluating the molecular and cellular basis of the immune response to bacterial challenge. Pf-5 produces the insect toxin FitD, but a Δ fitD mutant of Pf-5 retained full toxicity against D. melanogaster in a noninvasive feeding assay, indicating that FitD is not a major determinant of Pf-5's oral toxicity against this insect. Pf-5 also produces a broad spectrum of exoenzymes and natural products with antibiotic activity, whereas a mutant with a deletion in the global regulatory gene gacA produces none of these exoproducts and also lacks toxicity to D. melanogaster. In this study, we made use of a panel of Pf-5 mutants having single or multiple mutations in the biosynthetic gene clusters for seven natural products and two exoenzymes that are produced by the bacterium under the control of gacA. Our results demonstrate that the production of rhizoxin analogs, orfamide A, and chitinase are required for full oral toxicity of Pf-5 against D. melanogaster, with rhizoxins being the primary determinant.

AB  - Jackson Hole Airport is the only US airport located wholly within the boundaries of a national park, and all airport activities must be performed in accordance with the regulations and policies set out by numerous agencies. Located in a pristine wilderness area, the airport includes habitat for many important species, including a lek (seasonal breeding area) for the greater sage-grouse within the runway safety area. The FAA Wildlife Strike Database identified numerous strikes with the sage-grouse, which had been identified as a candidate species for federal protection under the Federal Endangered Species Act. When the FAA required Jackson Hole Airport Board to prepare a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan, the Airport Board understood that the plan would have to satisfy the requirements of numerous federal, state and local agencies while remaining sensitive to local sage-grouse conservation efforts. The board embraced the challenge and developed a collaborative process involving agencies, researchers and consultants. The resulting Wildlife Hazard Management Plan provided a triple win for the agencies, the sage-grouse and the travelling public. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background and aims Patients with coexisting coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at high risk of cardiovascular recurrence, however, it is not well established whether they exhibit an increased intima-media thickness of both common carotid arteries (IMT-CC). Furthermore, whether this relationship is inherent to T2DM or depends on glycemic control has not been tested in large cohorts. Our aim was to determine whether clinical categories and/or analytical markers of glucose metabolism control were associated with IMT-CC in CHD patients. Methods 1002 patients aged 20–75 years, categorized into normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2DM, underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and an IMT-CC measurement. Results IMT-CC was higher in T2DM patients with HbA1c > 6.5% compared to T2DM patients with HbA1c < 6.5% ( p = 0.001), patients with IFG or IGT ( p < 0.001) and NGT ( p < 0.001). When age was considered, IMT-CC was influenced by glucose metabolism control only in e patients with age <61 years ( p < 0.01). In a multiple linear regression analysis, glucose concentration at 120 min, but not other OGTT time-points appeared as a significant independent contributor of IMT-CC ( p < 0.001). Moreover, a multiple logistic regression and the area under curve (AUC) of the ROC curve analysis showed a predictive power of glucose at 120 min to detect those CHD patients at the highest risk, defined as IMT-CC ≥ 0.7 mm (R 2 = 0.221; AUC = 0.761). Conclusions Our results highlight the importance of properly controlling glucose metabolism in CHD patients, in younger populations in particular, providing an easy way of categorizing patients with an increased IMT-CC. Moreover, glucose concentration at 120 min could contribute to CVD risk and its determination could be used as a predictive tool to identify those CHD patients at the highest risk.

AB  - A new morph of leafy spurge, Euphorbia esula L., was discovered in the floodplains of the Val de Saône (VDS), France. In this region, this emerging weed shows two different morph colours: the common 'green' variant and a rarer 'red' variant. We compared the sequence data for the plastid trnT- trnF region among individuals of both morphs from the VDS, as well as other populations from Europe and North America, where this plant is invasive. In addition, we analysed the ploidy found among VDS individuals for both colours. Results showed that both morphs share two of the three chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) haplotypes found in the VDS and are both hexaploids (2 n = 6 x = 60). These results suggest that the red morph is only an environmental variant of E. esula subsp. esula. Our results indicate that leafy spurge infestations in this region form a genetically diverse structuring composed of three cpDNA haplotypes, two of which are shared by the two morphs.

Dans cette région, la plante, une mauvaise herbe en émergence, présente deux morphes différents sur le plan de la couleur : le variant « vert » commun, et un variant « rouge », observé dans une faible proportion. Les auteurs ont comparé les données de séquence de la région plastidique trnT- trnF parmi les individus des deux morphes provenant du VDS, de même que d'autres populations de l'Europe et de l'Amérique du Nord, où cette plante est envahissante. De plus, ils ont analysé la ploïdie trouvée chez les individus du VDS des deux couleurs. Les résultats ont montré que les deux morphes partagent deux des trois haplotypes d'ADNcp trouvés dans le VDS et sont tous deux hexaploïdes (2 n = 6 x = 60). Ces résultats suggèrent que le morphe rouge n'est qu'un variant environnemental d' E. esula subsp. esula. Les résultats des auteurs ont indiqué que les infestations d'euphorbes ésules dans cette région forment une structuration génétiquement diverse composée de trois haplotypes d'ADNcp, dont deux sont partagés par les deux morphes.

AB  - Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the repayment records of Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers in two distinct US farming regions that have been experienced serious drought conditions even as the US economy was going through a recession. The analysis will identify factors that significantly influence both the probability of FSA borrowers’ survival (capability to remain in good credit standing) and temporal endurance (or length of period of good standing with creditor).Design/methodology/approach This analysis utilizes a data set of farm borrowers of the Farm Service Agency that regular farm lenders have classified as “marginal” relative to other borrowers. The research goal is addressed by confining this study’s regional focus to the Southeast and Midwest that have both dealt with financial stress arising from abnormal natural and economic conditions prevailing during the same time period. A split population duration model is employed to separately identify determinants of the probability and duration of survival (condition of good credit standing).Findings This study’s results indicate that larger loan balances, declining commodity prices, and the severity of drought conditions have adversely affected both the borrowing farms’ probability of survival and temporal endurance in terms of maintaining non-delinquent borrower standing. Notably, Midwestern farms have been relatively less affected by drought conditions compared to Southeastern farms. This study’s results validate the contention that the farms’ capability to survive and the duration of their survival can be attributed to differences in regional resource endowments, farming activities, and business structures.Originality/value This study’s analytical framework departs from the basic duration model approach by considering temporal endurance, in addition to survival probability analysis. This study’s original contributions are enhanced by its specific focus on the contrasting farm business structures and operating environments in the Midwest and Southeast regions.

AB  - Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify determinants of feasible outcome events (expired with no loss, settled for loss, still performing) and time to event of Farm Service Agency (FSA) operating and farm ownership (FO) loan guarantees.Design/methodology/approach Data on 19,126 FSA guaranteed loans, which were made by various lenders to farmers who have limited ability to obtain loans from normal sources without the Federal guarantee, were collected. Cox proportional hazards models for operating loans (OLs) and FO loans are estimated to identify borrower characteristics, loan characteristics, lender types, and farm and macroeconomic environment factors that influence guarantee outcomes.Findings Loans with different characteristics (loan amount, loan term, lender type, region originated) and assistance programs (Beginning Farmer, Interest Assistance) have differing guarantee outcomes. Contemporaneous variables, in particular delinquency status, have a significant impact on guarantee outcomes.Research limitations/implications All loans were originated in calendar years 2004 and 2005. Since FO loans may have as long as 40 year terms, results are not as robust for FO loans as for OLs.Practical implications Different loan characteristics and macroeconomic conditions significantly influence the occurrence of possible guarantee outcomes and time to the outcomes.Originality/value Guaranteed loans are the primary method of government credit assistance to US farm operators. Data on individual borrowers have been difficult to obtain for much of the life of the guaranteed program because loan applications are held privately. This study provides insight on how various factors drive guarantee performance which is useful to policy makers trying to increase guaranteed loan program efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Several single nucleotide polymorphisms have been proposed as potential predictors of the development of age-related diseases. Objective To explore whether Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha ( TNFA ) gene variants were associated with inflammatory status, thus facilitating the rate of telomere shortening and its relation to cellular aging in a population with established cardiovascular disease from the CORDIOPREV study ( NCT00924937 ). Materials and methods SNPs (rs1800629 and rs1799964) located at the TNFA gene were genotyped by OpenArray platform in 840 subjects with established cardiovascular disease. Relative telomere length was determined by real time PCR and plasma levels of C-reactive protein by ELISA. In a subgroup of 90 subjects, the gene expression profiles of TNFA , IKKβ , p47phox , p40phox , p22phox and gp91phox were determined by qRT-PCR. Results GG subjects for the SNP rs1800629 at the TNFA gene showed shorter relative telomere length and higher plasma levels of hs-CRP than A-allele subjects (p < 0.05). Consistent with these findings, the expression of pro-inflammatory ( TNFA ) and pro-oxidant ( p47phox and the gp91phox ) genes was higher in GG subjects than A allele subjects (p < 0.05). Conclusion Subjects carrying the GG genotype for the SNP rs1800629 at the TNFA gene show a greater activation of the proinflammatory status than A-allele carriers, which is related to ROS formation. These ROS could induce DNA damage especially in the telomeric sequence, by decreasing the telomere length and inducing cellular aging. This effect may also increase the risk of the development of age-related diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <bold>Objective: </bold>Estimates of fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption vary depending on intake definition, which may be determined by research purpose. Researchers have used two methods to evaluate intake: epidemiological and behavioural. The present study describes FV intake by adults using epidemiological v. behavioural approaches.<bold>Design: </bold>One-day dietary intake data from What We Eat In America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2012 were used. Sample weights were used to produce nationally representative estimates. FV intake (in cup-equivalents (CE)) was estimated using the Food Patterns Equivalents Database. The epidemiological method considered all FV after disaggregating foods and beverages. The behavioural method included foods that provided at least 0·2 CE FV per 100 g, and excluded sources high in fat, added sugar and Na.<bold>Setting: </bold>Nationally representative survey of the US population.<bold>Subjects: </bold>Adults (n 10 563) aged ≥20 years.<bold>Results: </bold>For epidemiological v. behavioural, fruit intake was 1·1 v. 1·0 CE for males and 1·0 v. 0·9 CE for females. Vegetable intake was 1·8 v. 1·1 CE for males and 1·5 v. 1·0 CE for females.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>The definition of FV intake affects estimates of consumption by the population and is an important consideration when planning and comparing research studies. The method used should align with research goals to assure accurate interpretation and validity of results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study was conducted to examine the growth of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in potato salad caused by cross-contamination and temperature abuse, and develop mathematical models to predict its growth. The growth of SE was investigated under constant temperature conditions (8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 37 °C) to evaluate the effect of temperature on growth rates and lag times. Duplicated experiments were conducted. The data set from one replicate was used to develop kinetic models and determine kinetic parameters. The data from the other replicate served as an independent data set for model validation. The growth of background microorganism (BK) was also examined. One-step kinetic analysis method was used to directly construct both primary (Huang) and secondary (Ratkowsky square-root) models. Nonlinear regression was used to minimize the global residual sum of squares (RSS) for SE and BK. The results showed that both primary and secondary models can be used to analyze the growth curves, with the kinetic parameters closely matching the characteristics of SE and BK. The validation results showed that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) was only 0.40 Log CFU/g for SE and 0.66 Log CFU/g for BK, with the residual errors of predictions following Laplace and logistic distributions, respectively. This study showed that one-step kinetic analysis is a useful and efficient method for analyzing the entire data set to directly construct primary and secondary growth models and determine kinetic parameters. Since the models are validated, they can be used to predict the growth of SE and conduct risk assessment, and to predict the microbiological shelf-life of potato salad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - High surface area (∼300 m 2 /g) nanostructured powders of (Nb 1−x Ir x )O 2 and (Nb 1−x Ir x )O 2 :10F (∼100 m 2 /g) have been examined as promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electro-catalysts for proton exchange membrane (PEM) based water electrolysis. Nb 2 O 5 and 10 wt.% F doped Nb 2 O 5 powders were prepared by a low temperature sol-gel process which were then converted to solid solution (Nb,Ir)O 2 and 10 wt.% F doped (Nb,Ir)O 2 [(NbIr)O 2 :10F] electro-catalysts by soaking in IrCl 4 followed by heat treatment in air. Electro-catalyst powders of optimal composition (Nb 0.75 Ir 0.25 )O 2 :10F with ∼75 at.% reduction in noble metal content exhibited comparable OER activity to commercial hydrated IrO 2 and nanostructured in-house chemically synthesized IrO 2 . The (Nb,Ir)O 2 :10F electro-catalyst demonstrated excellent long term structural/corrosion stability comparable to in-house chemically synthesized pure IrO 2 :10F. First-principles calculations of the total energies, electronic structures and cohesive energies of the model systems have been performed and correlated to the excellent activity, long term stability of (Nb,Ir)O 2 :F for OER obtained experimentally.

AB  - Objectives. To investigate differences in levels of plasma trans fatty acids (TFAs) and a broad set of other markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the US adult population between 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. Methods. Using a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older from the 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, regression models were estimated to compare levels of TFAs and other markers for CVD risk over time. Results. Significant declines in levels of plasma TFAs and improvements in a variety of other markers for CVD risk were observed in the US adult population. Conclusions. Between the 2 time points, 1999–2000 and 2009–2010, there were substantial decreases in TFA levels and improvements in several other important cardiovascular health indicators in US adults.

AB  - Genetic maps are key tools in genetic research as they constitute the framework for many applications, such as quantitative trait locus analysis, and support the assembly of genome sequences., The resequencing of the two parents of a cross between Eucalyptus urophylla and Eucalyptus grandis was used to design a single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) array of 6000 markers evenly distributed along the E. grandis genome., The genotyping of 1025 offspring enabled the construction of two high-resolution genetic maps containing 1832 and 1773 markers with an average marker interval of 0.45 and 0.5 cM for E. grandis and E. urophylla, respectively. The comparison between genetic maps and the reference genome highlighted 85% of collinear regions. A total of 43 noncollinear regions and 13 nonsynthetic regions were detected and corrected in the new genome assembly. This improved version contains 4943 scaffolds totalling 691.3 Mb of which 88.6% were captured by the 11 chromosomes. The mapping data were also used to investigate the effect of population size and number of markers on linkage mapping accuracy., This study provides the most reliable linkage maps for Eucalyptus and version 2.0 of the E. grandis genome.

AB  - Payments for watershed services (PWS) as a policy tool for enhancing water quality and supply have gained momentum in recent years, but their ability to lead to sustainable watershed outcomes is uncertain. Consequently, the demand for effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of PWS impacts on coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and their implications for watershed sustainability (WS) is increasing. The theoretical foundations and practical applications of WS frameworks, which integrate biophysical and socioeconomic indicators to assess progress toward WS goals, have been extensively explored but rarely applied to PWS. We develop the PWS-WS framework as an approach for guiding indicator selection to improve knowledge about the complex drivers, interactions, and feedback between PWS and CHANS. A review of the PWS and WS literatures provides a basis for comparing and contrasting indicators. Using two case studies, we illustrate how applying the PWS-WS framework using a place-based, contextualized approach enhances potential for sustainable watershed outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The importance of multiple processes and instream factors to aquatic biota has been explored extensively, but questions remain about how local spatiotemporal variability of aquatic biota is tied to environmental regimes and the geophysical template of streams. We used an individual-based trout model to explore the relative role of the geophysical template versus environmental regimes on biomass of trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii). We parameterized the model with observed data from each of the four headwater streams (their local geophysical template and environmental regime) and then ran 12 simulations where we replaced environmental regimes (stream temperature, flow, turbidity) of a given stream with values from each neighboring stream while keeping the geophysical template fixed. We also performed single-parameter sensitivity analyses on the model results from each of the four streams. Although our modeled findings show that trout biomass is most responsive to changes in the geophysical template of streams, they also reveal that biomass is restricted by available habitat during seasonal low flow, which is a product of both the stream's geophysical template and flow regime. Our modeled results suggest that differences in the geophysical template among streams render trout more or less sensitive to environmental change, emphasizing the importance of local fish-habitat relationships in streams.

AB  - L'importance de nombreux processus et des facteurs à l'intérieur de cours d'eau pour le biote aquatique a été examinée en détail, mais des questions demeurent concernant le lien entre la variabilité spatiotemporelle du biote aquatique et les régimes de conditions ambiantes et le gabarit géophysique des cours d'eau. Nous avons utilisé un modèle de truite basé sur l'individu pour explorer l'influence relative du gabarit géophysique et des régimes de conditions ambiantes sur la biomasse de truites ( Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii). Nous avons paramétrisé le modèle à partir de données d'observation pour chacun des quatre cours d'eau d'amont (leur gabarit géophysique et leur régime ambiant), puis réalisé 12 simulations dans lesquelles nous avons remplacé les régimes ambiants (température, débit, turbidité) d'un cours d'eau donnée par les valeurs de chacun des cours d'eau voisins, tout en maintenant le gabarit géophysique inchangé. Nous avons également effectué des analyses de sensibilité des résultats du modèle aux différents paramètres pour chacun des quatre cours d'eau. Bien que les résultats du modèle montrent que la biomasse de truites réagit le plus fortement à des modifications du gabarit géophysique des cours d'eau, ils révèlent également que la biomasse est limitée par l'habitat disponible durant l'étiage saisonnier, qui est un produit du gabarit géophysique du cours d'eau et du régime d'écoulement. Les résultats du modèle donnent à penser que des différences sur le plan du gabarit géophysique entre les cours d'eau rendent les truites plus ou moins sensibles aux changements des conditions ambiantes, soulignant ainsi l'importance des relations locales poissons-habitats dans les cours d'eau.

AB  - Background: Multipartite mitochondrial genomes are very rare in animals but have been found previously in two insect orders with highly rearranged genomes, the Phthiraptera (parasitic lice), and the Psocoptera (booklice/barklice). Results: We provide the first report of a multipartite mitochondrial genome architecture in a third order with highly rearranged genomes: Thysanoptera (thrips). We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of two divergent members of the Scirtothrips dorsalis cryptic species complex. The East Asia 1 species has the single circular chromosome common to animals while the South Asia 1 species has a genome consisting of two circular chromosomes. The fragmented South Asia 1 genome exhibits extreme chromosome size asymmetry with the majority of genes on the large, 14.28 kb, chromosome and only nad6 and trnC on the 0.92 kb mini-circle chromosome. This genome also features paralogous control regions with high similarity suggesting a very recent origin of the nad6 mini-circle chromosome in the South Asia 1 cryptic species. Conclusions: Thysanoptera, along with the other minor paraenopteran insect orders should be considered models for rapid mitochondrial genome evolution, including fragmentation. Continued use of these models will facilitate a greater understanding of recombination and other mitochondrial genome evolutionary processes across eukaryotes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Soybean (Glycine max) is a photoperiod-sensitive and self-pollinated species. Days to flowering (DTF) and maturity (DTM), duration of flowering-to-maturity (DFTM) and plant height (PH) are crucial for soybean adaptability and yield. To dissect the genetic architecture of these agronomically important traits, a population consisting of 309 early maturity soybean germplasm accessions was genotyped with the Illumina Infinium SoySNP50K BeadChip and phenotyped in multiple environments. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a mixed linear model that involves both relative kinship and population structure. Results: The linkage disequilibrium (LD) decayed slowly in soybean, and a substantial difference in LD pattern was observed between euchromatic and heterochromatic regions. A total of 27, 6,18 and 27 loci for DTF, DTM, DFTM and PH were detected via GWAS, respectively. The Dti gene was identified in the locus strongly associated with both DTM and PH. Ten candidate genes homologous to Arabidopsis flowering genes were identified near the peak single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DTF. Four of them encode MADS-domain containing proteins. Additionally, a pectin lyase-like gene was also identified in a major-effect locus for PH where LD decayed rapidly. Conclusions: This study identified multiple new loci and refined chromosomal regions of known loci associated with DTF, DTM, DFTM and/or PH in soybean. It demonstrates that GWAS is powerful in dissecting complex traits and identifying candidate genes although LD decayed slowly in soybean. The loci and trait-associated SNPs identified in this study can be used for soybean genetic improvement, especially the major-effect loci associated with PH could be used to improve soybean yield potential. The candidate genes may serve as promising targets for studies of molecular mechanisms underlying the related traits in soybean. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits and predict phenotypes for marker-assisted selection. Many QTL mapping studies in plants have been limited to one biparental family population. Joint analysis of multiple biparental families offers an alternative approach to QTL mapping with a wider scope of inference. Joint-multiple population analysis should have higher power to detect QTL shared among multiple families, but may have lower power to detect rare QTL. We compared prediction ability of single-family and joint-family QTL analysis methods with fivefold cross-validation for 6 diverse traits using the maize nested association mapping population, which comprises 25 biparental recombinant inbred families. Joint-family QTL analysis had higher mean prediction abilities than single-family QTL analysis for all traits at most significance thresholds, and was always better at more stringent significance thresholds. Most robust QTL (detected in >50% of data samples) were restricted to one family and were often not detected at high frequency by joint-family analysis, implying substantial genetic heterogeneity among families for complex traits in maize. The superior predictive ability of joint-family QTL models despite important genetic differences among families suggests that joint-family models capture sufficient smaller effect QTL that are shared across families to compensate for missing some rare large-effect QTL.

AB  - We previously discovered that Pseudomonas chlororaphis NRRL B-30761 produces monorhamnolipids (RLs) with predominantly 3-hydroxydodecenoyl-3-hydroxydecanoate (C-C) or 3-hydroxydodecanoyl-3-hydroxydecanoate (C-C) as the lipid moiety under static growth conditions only. We have now cloned, sequenced, and analyzed in silico the gene locus of NRRL B-30761 containing the putative coding sequences of rhamnosyltransferase chain A ( rhlA, 894 bps), rhamnosyltransferase chain B ( rhlB, 1272 bps), and N-acyl-homoserine lactone-dependent transcriptional regulatory protein ( rhlR, 726 bps). The putative gene products RhlA (297 amino acid residues or a.a.), RhlB (423 a.a.), and RhlR (241 a.a.) only have between 60 and 65 % a.a. identities to their respective closest matched homologs in P. aeruginosa. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay did not detect the presence of rhamnosyltransferase C gene ( rhlC) in P. chlororaphis, suggesting a genetic basis for the lack of dirhamnose-lipid (RL) synthesis in this organism. We thus genetically constructed an RL-synthesizing P. chlororaphis by expressing a rhamnosyltransferase C ( rhlC) gene of P. aeruginosa using an expression vector (pBS29-P2- gfp) containing a Pseudomonas syringae promoter. The RL/RL ratio is 2.4 in the rhamnolipid (RL) sample isolated from the genetically engineered (GE) P. chlororaphis [pBS29-P2- rhlC], in contrast to undetectable RL in the GE P. chlororaphis [pBS29-P2- gfp] control cells based on LC-MS analysis. The critical micelle concentrations of the RL and RL samples from GE P. chlororaphis [pBS29-P2- rhlC] and the control [pBS29-P2- gfp] cells were ca. 0.1 mM, and their minimum surface tensions were ca. 26 mN/m with no significant difference.

AB  - Over 20% of Earth's terrestrial surface is underlain by permafrost with vast stores of carbon that, once thawed, may represent the largest future transfer of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere. This process is largely dependent on microbial responses, but we know little about microbial activity in intact, let alone in thawing, permafrost. Molecular approaches have recently revealed the identities and functional gene composition of microorganisms in some permafrost soils and a rapid shift in functional gene composition during short-term thaw experiments. However, the fate of permafrost carbon depends on climatic, hydrological and microbial responses to thaw at decadal scales. Here we use the combination of several molecular 'omics' approaches to determine the phylogenetic composition of the microbial communities, including several draft genomes of novel species, their functional potential and activity in soils representing different states of thaw: intact permafrost, seasonally thawed active layer and thermokarst bog. The multi-omics strategy reveals a good correlation of process rates to omics data for dominant processes, such as methanogenesis in the bog, as well as novel survival strategies for potentially active microbes in permafrost.

AB  - Sustainable intensification is a widely shared idealistic vision for agriculture, in which production and other ecosystem services jointly increase to meet the future needs of humanity and the biosphere. Realizing this vision will require an outcome-driven approach that draws on all available practices and technologies to design agroecosystems that negotiate the difficult trade-offs associated with reconciling sustainability along production, economic, and environmental performance dimensions. To create such "middle-way" strategies for sustainable intensification, we call for strongly transdisciplinary research systems that coordinate integrative research among major streams of agriculture via ethical and philosophical orientation provided by "purposive disciplines, " such as applied ethics and design. Middle-way research partnerships can be strengthened by linking outcomes to mutually agreeable goals, such as "net agroecosystem aggradation. " We illustrate our proposals by outlining a potential middle-way strategy for weed management, describing its ethical rationale, and suggesting a research policy agenda for sustainable intensification via middle-way agriculture.

AB  - Winter wheat Druchamp has both high-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance and all-stage resistance to stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The HTAP resistance in Druchamp is durable as the variety has been resistant in adult-plant stage since it was introduced from France to the United States in late 1940s. To map the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stripe rust resistance, an F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from cross Druchamp × Michigan Amber was phenotyped for stripe rust response in multiple years in fields under natural infection and with selected Pst races under controlled greenhouse conditions, and genotyped with simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Composite interval mapping (CIM) identified eight HTAP resistance QTL and three all-stage resistance QTL. Among the eight HTAP resistance QTL, QYrdr.wgp-1BL.2 (explaining 2.36-31.04% variation), QYrdr.wgp-2BL (2.81–15.65%), QYrdr.wgp-5AL (2.27–17.22%) and QYrdr.wgp-5BL.2 (2.42–15.13%) were significant in all tests; and QYrdr.wgp-1BL.1 (1.94–10.19%), QYrdr.wgp-1DS (2.04–27.24%), QYrdr.wgp-3AL (1.78–13.85%) and QYrdr.wgp-6BL.2 (1.69–33.71%) were significant in some of the tests. The three all-stage resistance QTL, QYrdr.wgp-5BL.1 (5.47–36.04%), QYrdr.wgp-5DL (9.27–11.94%) and QYrdr.wgp-6BL.1 (13.07-20.36%), were detected based on reactions in the seedlings tested with certain Pst races. Among the eleven QTL detected in Druchamp, at least three (QYrdr.wgp-5DL for race-specific all-stage resistance and QYrdr.wgp-3AL and QYrdr.wgp-6BL.2 for race non-specific HTAP resistance) are new. All these QTL, especially those for durable HTAP resistance, and their closely linked molecular markers could be useful for developing wheat cultivars with durable resistance to stripe rust.

AB  - Background: Plant resistance genes (R genes) exist in large families and usually contain both a nucleotide-binding site domain and a leucine-rich repeat domain, denoted NBS-LRR. The genome sequence of cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a valuable resource for analysing the genomic organization of resistance genes in this crop. Results: With searches for Pfam domains and manual curation of the cassava gene annotations, we identified 228 NBS-LRR type genes and 99 partial NBS genes. These represent almost 1% of the total predicted genes and show high sequence similarity to proteins from other plant species. Furthermore, 34 contained an N-terminal toll/interleukin (TIR)-like domain, and 128 contained an N-terminal coiled-coil (CC) domain. 63% of the 327 R genes occurred in 39 clusters on the chromosomes. These clusters are mostly homogeneous, containing NBSLRRs derived from a recent common ancestor. Conclusions: This study provides insight into the evolution of NBS-LRR genes in the cassava genome; the phylogenetic and mapping information may aid efforts to further characterize the function of these predicted R genes.

AB  - Colonial waterbirds have impacted forested island ecosystems throughout their breeding range, changing vegetation, and soil characteristics and bird communities. Our objectives were to (1) determine effects of three levels of colonial waterbird exclusion on overall vegetation diversity and growth, and survival of a candidate restoration species (black elderberry; Sambucus nigra canadensis); (2) investigate effects of different planting techniques on survival and growth of black elderberry; and (3) determine effects of waterbird colonization on soil chemistry. In 2012, we investigated effects of three levels of waterbird exclusion (none control plots [CON]; partial, which excluded waterbirds larger than gulls [PEX]; and full which excluded all waterbirds [FEX]) on bird use, existing vegetation growth and diversity, and survival of planted black elderberry on three islands in Door County, WI, LakeMichigan. In 2013, we evaluated survival of black elderberry established with four planting treatments within three waterbird exclusion treatments on two islands in 2013.We also compared soil chemistry characteristics between islands with and without nestingwaterbirds for 2 years. Overall plant growthwas greater in exclosures, but elderberry survival was similar among treatments. Soil replacement and weed suppression planting treatments did not affect survival, but generally increased overall elderberry biomass. Soil from nesting islands was more acidic and had greater nutrient concentrations than reference islands. Exclusion or removal of colonial nesting waterbirds from islands may improve overall vegetation growth, but successful restoration of woody vegetation may require significant soil manipulation and planting.

AB  - We measured dynamic stress responses using ambulatory heart rate monitoring as participants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania walked past vacant lots before and after a greening remediation treatment of randomly selected lots. Being in view of a greened vacant lot decreased heart rate significantly more than did being in view of a nongreened vacant lot or not in view of any vacant lot. Remediating neighborhood blight may reduce stress and improve health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Gossypium hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing to its complex allotetraploid (AtDt) genome. Here we produce a draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences assisted by fivefold BAC-to-BAC sequences and a high-resolution genetic map. In our assembly 88.5% of the 2,173-Mb scaffolds, which cover 89.6%∼96.7% of the AtDt genome, are anchored and oriented to 26 pseudochromosomes. Comparison of this G. hirsutum AtDt genome with the already sequenced diploid Gossypium arboreum (AA) and Gossypium raimondii (DD) genomes revealed conserved gene order. Repeated sequences account for 67.2% of the AtDt genome, and transposable elements (TEs) originating from Dt seem more active than from At. Reduction in the AtDt genome size occurred after allopolyploidization. The A or At genome may have undergone positive selection for fiber traits. Concerted evolution of different regulatory mechanisms for Cellulose synthase (CesA) and 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase1 and 3 (ACO1,3) may be important for enhanced fiber production in G. hirsutum.

AB  - Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement. Here we sequenced the allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1 genome by integrating whole-genome shotgun reads, bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-end sequences and genotype-by-sequencing genetic maps. We assembled and annotated 32,032 A-subgenome genes and 34,402 D-subgenome genes. Structural rearrangements, gene loss, disrupted genes and sequence divergence were more common in the A subgenome than in the D subgenome, suggesting asymmetric evolution. However, no genome-wide expression dominance was found between the subgenomes. Genomic signatures of selection and domestication are associated with positively selected genes (PSGs) for fiber improvement in the A subgenome and for stress tolerance in the D subgenome. This draft genome sequence provides a resource for engineering superior cotton lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The flesh color of Cucumis melo (melon) is genetically determined, and can be white, light green or orange, with β-carotene being the predominant pigment. We associated carotenoid accumulation in melon fruit flesh with polymorphism within CmOr, a homolog of the cauliflower BoOr gene, and identified CmOr as the previously described gf locus in melon. CmOr was found to co-segregate with fruit flesh color, and presented two haplotypes (alleles) in a broad germplasm collection, one being associated with orange flesh and the second being associated with either white or green flesh. Allelic variation of CmOr does not affect its transcription or protein level. The variation also does not affect its plastid subcellular localization. Among the identified single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) between CmOr alleles in orange versus green/white-flesh fruit, a single SNP causes a change of an evolutionarily highly conserved arginine to histidine in the CmOr protein. Functional analysis of CmOr haplotypes in an Arabidopsis callus system confirmed the ability of the CmOr orange haplotype to induce β-carotene accumulation. Site-directed mutagenesis of the CmOr green/white haplotype to change the Cm OR arginine to histidine triggered β-carotene accumulation. The identification of the 'golden' SNP in CmOr, which is responsible for the non-orange and orange melon fruit phenotypes, provides new tools for studying the Or mechanism of action, and suggests genome editing of the Or gene for nutritional biofortification of crops.

AB  - Peanut, a high-oil crop with about 50% oil content, is either crushed for oil or used as edible products. Fatty acid composition determines the oil quality which has high relevance to consumer health, flavor, and shelf life of commercial products. In addition to the major fatty acids, oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2) accounting for about 80% of peanut oil, the six other fatty acids namely palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), arachidic acid (C20:0), gadoleic acid (C20:1), behenic acid (C22:0), and lignoceric acid (C24:0) are accounted for the rest 20%. To determine the genetic basis and to improve further understanding on effect of FAD2 genes on these fatty acids, two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations namely S-population (high oleic line ‘SunOleic 97R’ × low oleic line ‘NC94022’) and T-population (normal oleic line ‘Tifrunner’ × low oleic line ‘GT-C20’) were developed. Genetic maps with 206 and 378 marker loci for the S- and the T-population, respectively were used for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. As a result, a total of 164 main-effect (M-QTLs) and 27 epistatic (E-QTLs) QTLs associated with the minor fatty acids were identified with 0.16% to 40.56% phenotypic variation explained (PVE). Thirty four major QTLs (>10% of PVE) mapped on five linkage groups and 28 clusters containing more than three QTLs were also identified. These results suggest that the major QTLs with large additive effects would play an important role in controlling composition of these minor fatty acids in addition to the oleic and linoleic acids in peanut oil. The interrelationship among these fatty acids should be considered while breeding for improved peanut genotypes with good oil quality and desired fatty acid composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species, and five saprotrophs, which we analyzed along with other fungal genomes. Ectomycorrhizal fungi have a reduced complement of genes encoding plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs), as compared to their ancestral wood decayers. Nevertheless, they have retained a unique array of PCWDEs, thus suggesting that they possess diverse abilities to decompose lignocellulose. Similar functional categories of nonorthologous genes are induced in symbiosis. Of induced genes, 7-38% are orphan genes, including genes that encode secreted effector-like proteins. Convergent evolution of the mycorrhizal habit in fungi occurred via the repeated evolution of a 'symbiosis toolkit', with reduced numbers of PCWDEs and lineage-specific suites of mycorrhiza-induced genes.

N2  - Density-dependent production and incidence of common microbial off-flavors caused by geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol were investigated in an outdoor biofloc technology production system stocked with stocker-size (217 g/fish) channel catfish at 1.4, 2.1, or 2.8 kg/m3. Individual weight at harvest ranged from 658-829 g/fish and was inversely related to stocking density. Net fish yield ranged from 3.8-5.4 kg/m3, and increased linearly as stocking density increased. The percentage of sub-marketable fish (&lt;0.57 kg/fish) increased linearly with increasing stocking rate. Mean total feed consumption increased linearly with stocking density, but feed consumed per fish was inversely related to stocking density. Feed conversion ratio did not differ significantly among treatments. Concentrations of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol in biofloc water were low throughout the study. All sampled fillets contained low concentrations of geosmin and 2-methylisobornel, but these fillets likely would not be deemed as having objectionable "earthy" or "musty" off-flavors when evaluated by trained processing plant flavor testers because of the low concentrations present. Data from this study combined with data from our two previous studies provide strong evidence that the incidence of geosmin- and 2-methylisoborneol-related off-flavor episodes is low in the BFT production system.

AB  - Outbreak data have been used to estimate the proportion of illnesses attributable to different foods. Applying outbreak-based attribution estimates to nonoutbreak foodborne illnesses requires an assumption of similar exposure pathways for outbreak and sporadic illnesses. This assumption cannot be tested, but other comparisons can assess its veracity. Our study compares demographic, clinical, temporal, and geographic characteristics of outbreak and sporadic illnesses from Campylobacter, Escherichia coli O157, Listeria, and Salmonella bacteria ascertained by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet). Differences among FoodNet sites in outbreak and sporadic illnesses might reflect differences in surveillance practices. For Campylobacter, Listeria, and Escherichia coli O157, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity, sex, and age. For Salmonella, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity and sex. Nevertheless, the percentage of outbreak illnesses in the youngest age category was lower. Therefore, we do not reject the assumption that outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In many forests of the world, the summer season (temporal element) brings drought conditions causing low soil moisture in the upper soil profile (spatial element)-a potentially large barrier to seedling establishment. We evaluated the relationship between initial seedling root depth, temporal and spatial changes in soil moisture during drought after outplanting, and subsequent seedling performance using seedlings of Pinus ponderosa Laws. var. ponderosa grown in three containers similar in dimension except for depth (i.e. three stocktypes). Soil moisture patterns were quantified and growth, gas exchange, and carbon isotope analysis were used as metrics for stocktype evaluation. Soil moisture reached minimum volumetric soil moisture contents ( θ) of 0.078 m m at a 15 cm depth and 0.15 m m at 90 cm by late summer, which also translated to estimated soil water potential ( Ψ) values of −2.29 and −0.02 MPa, respectively. Seedling photosynthesis ( A) and transpiration ( E) rates followed soil moisture trends, also reaching seasonal lows in late summer. In early fall, gas exchange rates nearly doubled following a replenishment of upper-profile soil moisture by precipitation. Over the course of the growing season, stocktypes did not differ in gas exchange rates ( P ≥ 0.15), biomass ( P ≥ 0.45), root penetration depth ( P = 0.60), or carbon isotope signature ( P ≥ 0.60). For all seedlings, current-year needles showed greater capacity for A than previous-year needles ( P ≤ 0.01), and A was only significantly correlated with soil moisture in the upper soil profile (15 cm; P ≤ 0.03). In this study, stocktype was not a significant factor, suggesting that seedling access to soil moisture was not different among them. The temporal and spatial variation observed in soil moisture availability, however, provides critical biophysical information on outplanting timing as it relates to subsequent seedling establishment and potential root growth. As well, needle formation, carbon gain, and the relationship to soil water depth further indicate the importance for managing soil water or seedling stocktype for successful seedling survival and growth.

AB  - Management of grape powdery mildew ( Erysiphe necator) and other polycyclic diseases often relies on calendar-based pesticide application schedules that assume the presence of inoculum. An inexpensive, loop-mediated isothermal amplification ( LAMP) assay was designed to quickly detect airborne inoculum of E. necator to determine when to initiate a fungicide application programme. Field efficacy was tested in 2010 and 2011 in several commercial and research vineyards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon from pre-bud break to véraison. In each vineyard, three impaction spore traps were placed adjacent to the trunk. One trap was maintained and used by the grower to conduct the LAMP assay (G- LAMP) on-site and the other two traps were used for laboratory-conducted LAMP (L- LAMP) and quantitative PCR assay ( qPCR). Using the qPCR as a gold standard, L- LAMP was comparable with qPCR in both years, and G- LAMP was comparable to qPCR in 2011. Latent class analysis indicated that qPCR had a true positive proportion of 98% in 2010 and 89% in 2011 and true negative proportion of 96% in 2010 and 64% in 2011. An average of 3·3 fewer fungicide applications were used when they were initiated based on spore detection relative to the grower standard practice. There were no significant differences in berry or leaf incidence between plots with fungicides initiated at detection or grower standard practice plots, suggesting that growers using LAMP to initiate fungicide applications can use fewer fungicide applications to manage powdery mildew compared to standard practices.

AB  - Gully erosion reduces agricultural productivity by destroying valuable land resources, increases sediment concentrations, reduces water quality, and fills up reservoirs. Gully rehabilitation has proven to be challenging especially in the high-rainfall areas of the Ethiopian Highlands and has therefore had limited success. This paper describes a successful low-cost gully rehabilitation effort with community participation in the Birr watershed in the Blue Nile basin that begun in early 2013. Initially, farmers were reluctant to participate for religious reasons, but with the aid of local priests and respected elders, community discussions, and a visit to a rehabilitated gully, a consensus was reached to rehabilitate a 0·71-ha upland gully. The rehabilitation measures consisted of regrading the gully head at a 45° slope, constructing low-cost check dams from locally available materials, and planting Pennisetum purpureum grass and Sesbania sesban. At the end of the first post-implementation rainy season, 2,200 tons of soil was conserved by the constructed check dams and newly planted vegetation, compared with soil losses of 680 and 560 tons in two untreated, nearby gullies. In 2014, an additional 3,100 tons of soil was conserved. In 2013, the marginal rate of return (MRR) on the gully rehabilitation investment was 2·6 based on the value of increased forage production alone. When we include trapped soil nutrient values, the rehabilitation MRR was increased to 10. Although these numbers are impressive, the best proof of the success was that farmers on their own initiative rehabilitated an additional five gullies in 2014.

AB  - Evidence is emerging that plant-parasitic nematodes can secrete effectors to interfere with the host immune response, but it remains unknown how these effectors can conquer host immune responses. Here, we depict a novel effector, Mj TTL5, that could suppress plant immune response., Immunolocalization and transcriptional analyses showed that Mj TTL5 is expressed specifically within the subventral gland of Meloidogyne javanica and up-regulated in the early parasitic stage of the nematode. Transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing Mj TTL5 were significantly more susceptible to M. javanica infection than wild-type plants, and vice versa, in planta silencing of Mj TTL5 substantially increased plant resistance to M. javanica., Yeast two-hybrid, coimmunoprecipitation and bimolecular fluorescent complementation assays showed that Mj TTL5 interacts specifically with Arabidopsis ferredoxin : thioredoxin reductase catalytic subunit (At FTRc), a key component of host antioxidant system. The expression of At FTRc is induced by the infection of M. javanica. Interaction between At FTRc and Mj TTL could drastically increase host reactive oxygen species-scavenging activity, and result in suppression of plant basal defenses and attenuation of host resistance to the nematode infection., Our results demonstrate that the host ferredoxin : thioredoxin system can be exploited cunningly by M. javanica, revealing a novel mechanism utilized by plant-parasitic nematodes to subjugate plant innate immunity and thereby promoting parasitism.

AB  - The genome-wide heterozygosity at 9590 genes, all heterozygous in a single Eucalyptus grandis parent tree, was examined in a group of 28 S1 offspring. Heterozygosity ranged from 52-79%, averaging 65.5%, much higher than the 50% expected under random segregation, supporting the occurrence of strong (47%) selection against homozygosity. The expected pattern of heterozygosity from theoretical calculations and simulations for recessive detrimentals (pseudo-overdominance) and intrinsic heterozygote advantage was examined and compared with that observed. The observed patterns are consistent with at least several detrimental loci with large effects on both parental chromosomes of the 11 pairs. It is likely that 100 or more genes, many with substantial effects on viability, are contributing to this inbreeding depression. Although our genome-wide analysis of nearly 10 000 genes strongly suggested that pseudo-overdominance was responsible for the observed high inbreeding depression, heterozygote advantage could not be excluded. Finding inconvertible evidence of the cause of inbreeding depression still presents a difficult challenge. This study is the first theoretical examination of the genomic effect of inbreeding in a forest tree and provides an approach to analyze these data to determine the extent and cause of inbreeding depression across other plant genomes.

AB  - In this Focus article, the authors ask a seemingly simple question: Are harmful algal blooms (HABs) becoming the greatest inland water quality threat to public health and aquatic ecosystems? When HAB events require restrictions on fisheries, recreation, and drinking water uses of inland water bodies significant economic consequences result. Unfortunately, the magnitude, frequency, and duration of HABs in inland waters are poorly understood across spatiotemporal scales and differentially engaged among states, tribes, and territories. Harmful algal bloom impacts are not as predictable as those from conventional chemical contaminants, for which water quality assessment and management programs were primarily developed, because interactions among multiple natural and anthropogenic factors determine the likelihood and severity to which a HAB will occur in a specific water body. These forcing factors can also affect toxin production. Beyond site-specific water quality degradation caused directly by HABs, the presence of HAB toxins can negatively influence routine surface water quality monitoring, assessment, and management practices. Harmful algal blooms present significant challenges for achieving water quality protection and restoration goals when these toxins confound interpretation of monitoring results and environmental quality standards implementation efforts for other chemicals and stressors. Whether HABs presently represent the greatest threat to inland water quality is debatable, though in inland waters of developed countries they typically cause more severe acute impacts to environmental quality than conventional chemical contamination events. The authors identify several timely research needs. Environmental toxicology, environmental chemistry, and risk-assessment expertise must interface with ecologists, engineers, and public health practitioners to engage the complexities of HAB assessment and management, to address the forcing factors for HAB formation, and to reduce the threats posed to inland surface water quality.

AB  - Monitoring of soils used for agriculture at frequent intervals is crucial to support decision making and refining soil policies especially in the context of climate change. Along with rainfall erosivity, soil coverage by vegetation or crop residues is the most dynamic factor affecting soil erosion. Parcel-specific soil coverage information can be derived by satellite imagery with high geometric resolution. However, their usable number is mostly, due to cloud cover, not representative for the phenological characteristics of vegetated classes. To overcome temporal constraints, spatial and temporal fusion models, such as STARFM, are increasingly applied to derive high-resolution time series of remotely sensed biophysical parameters, based on fine spatial/coarse temporal resolution imagery, such as Landsat, and coarse spatial/fine temporal resolution imagery, such as MODIS. In this context, the current study introduces an evaluation scheme for simulated vegetation index time series which enables the assessment of their performance during multiple phenological phases. The evaluation scheme is based on Germany-wide available spatial predictions of phenological phases as well as RapidEye imagery and parcel-specific crop-type information. The evaluation results show that the simulation accuracy is basically controlled by the temporal distance between MODIS and Landsat base pairs, as well as the ability of the actual Landsat image to properly represent the phenological phase of the Landsat image simulated by MODIS. In addition, we discuss the potential of simulated index times series and corresponding phenological information for the dynamic (1) definition of temporal windows where soils are potentially covered by no, sparse or dense vegetation or crop residues and (2) parameterization of soil erosion models. The database thus obtained opens up new possibilities for an efficient and dynamic erosion monitoring, which can support soil protection and hazard prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Invasive species are one of the greatest economic and ecological threats to agriculture and natural areas in the US and the world. Among the available management tools, biological control provides one of the most economical and long-term effective strategies for managing widespread and damaging invasive species populations of nearly all taxa. However, integrating biological control programs in a more complete integrated pest management approach that utilizes increased information and communication, post-release monitoring, adaptive management practices, long-term stewardship strategies, and new and innovative ecological and genetic technologies can greatly improve the effectiveness of biological control. In addition, expanding partnerships among relevant national, regional, and local agencies, as well as academic scientists and land managers, offers far greater opportunities for long-term success in the suppression of established invasive species. In this paper we direct our recommendations to federal agencies that oversee, fund, conduct research, and develop classical biological control programs for invasive species. By incorporating these recommendations into adaptive management strategies, private and public land managers will have far greater opportunities for long-term success in suppression of established invasive species. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bioclimate models incorporating topographic predictors as surrogates for microclimate effects are developed for Populus tremuloides andPicea engelmannii to provide the fine-grained specificity to local terrain required foradapting management of three Colorado (USA) national forests (1.28 million ha) and their periphery to climate change. Models were built with the Random Forests classification tree using presence-absence observations obtained by overlaying species distribution maps on data points gridded at 225 m within the forests and from ground plot observations from adjacent areas. Topographic effects derived from 90-m elevation grids were expressed by weighting aspect by slope angle. Climate estimates were obtained from spline surfaces. Out-of-bag errors were 17 per cent, and classification errors for an independent sample from within the forestwere13 per cent. Topographic variableswere second in importance to climate variables for predicting species distributions; their inclusion captured well-known topographic effects on vegetation in mountainous terrain. Predictions made for future climates described by three General Circulation Models and three emissions scenarios were used to map on 90-m grids the habitatexpected tobelost, threatened, persistent oremergent. The habitat categories areused to identify those areas where treatments should have highest likelihood of success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Milling activities at a former uranium mill site near Riverton, Wyoming, USA, contaminated the shallow groundwater beneath and downgradient of the site. Although the mill operated for <6 years (1958-1963), its impact remains an environmental liability. Groundwater modeling predicted that natural flushing would achieve compliance with applicable groundwater protection standards by the year 2098. A decade of groundwater monitoring indicated that contaminant concentrations were declining steadily, which confirmed the conceptual site model (CSM). However, local flooding in 2010 mobilized contaminants that migrated downgradient from the Riverton site and resulted in a dramatic increase in groundwater contaminant concentrations. This observation indicated that the original CSM was inadequate to explain site conditions and needed to be refined. In response to the new observations after the flood, a collaborative investigation to better understand site conditions and processes commenced. This investigation included installing 103 boreholes to collect soil and groundwater samples, sampling and analysis of evaporite minerals along the bank of the Little Wind River, an analysis of evapotranspiration in the shallow aquifer, and sampling naturally organic-rich sediments near groundwater discharge areas. The enhanced characterization revealed that the existing CSM did not account for high uranium concentrations in groundwater remaining on the former mill site and groundwater plume stagnation near the Little Wind River. Observations from the flood and subsequent investigations indicate that additional characterization is still needed to continue refining the CSM and determine the viability of the natural flushing compliance strategy. Additional sampling, analysis, and testing of soil and groundwater are necessary to investigate secondary contaminant sources, mobilization of contaminants during floods, geochemical processes, contaminant plume stagnation, distribution of evaporite minerals and organic-rich sediments, and mechanisms and rates of contaminant transfer from soil to groundwater. Future data collection will be used to continually revise the CSM and evaluate the compliance strategy at the site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over-reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain may severely damage the photosynthetic apparatus as well as other constituents of the chloroplast and the cell. Here, we exposed Arabidopsis leaves to saturating light either under normal atmospheric conditions or under CO2- and O2-limiting conditions, which greatly increase excitation and electron pressures by draining terminal electron acceptors. The two treatments were found to have very different, often opposing, effects on the structure of the thylakoid membranes, including the width of the granal lumenal compartment. Modulation of the latter is proposed to be related to movements of ions across the thylakoid membrane, which alter the relative osmolarity of the lumen and stroma and affect the partitioning of the proton motive force into its electrical and osmotic components. The resulting changes in thylakoid organization and lumenal width should facilitate the repair of photodamaged photosystem II complexes in response to light stress under ambient conditions, but are expected to inhibit the repair cycle when the light stress occurs concurrently with CO2 and O2 depletion. Under the latter conditions, the changes in thylakoid structure are predicted to complement other processes that restrict the flow of electrons into the high-potential chain, thus moderating the production of deleterious reactive oxygen species at photosystem I.

AB  - The genus Amanita encompasses both symbiotic, ectomycorrhizal fungi and asymbiotic litter decomposers; all species are derived from asymbiotic ancestors. Symbiotic species are no longer able to degrade plant cell walls. The carbohydrate esterases family 1 ( CE1s) is a diverse group of enzymes involved in carbon metabolism, including decomposition and carbon storage. CE1 genes of the ectomycorrhizal A. muscaria appear diverged from all other fungal homologues, and more similar to CE1s of bacteria, suggesting a horizontal gene transfer ( HGT) event., In order to test whether Amanita CE1s were acquired horizontally, we built a phylogeny of CE1s collected from across the tree of life, and describe the evolution of CE1 genes among Amanita and relevant lineages of bacteria., CE1s of symbiotic Amanita were very different from CE1s of asymbiotic Amanita, and are more similar to bacterial CE1s. The protein structure of one CE1 gene of A. muscaria matched a depolymerase that degrades the carbon storage molecule poly(( R)-3-hydroxybutyrate) ( PHB). Asymbiotic Amanita do not carry sequence or structural homologues of these genes., The CE1s acquired through HGT may enable novel metabolisms, or play roles in signaling or defense. This is the first evidence for the horizontal transfer of carbohydrate metabolism genes into ectomycorrhizal fungi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Knowledge of processes leading to crop damage is central to devising rational approaches to disease management. Multiple experiments established that infection of hop cones by Podosphaera macularis was most severe if inoculation occurred within 15 to 21 days after bloom. This period of infection was associated with the most pronounced reductions in alpha acids, cone color, and accelerated maturation of cones. Susceptibility of cones to powdery mildew decreased progressively after the transition from bloom to cone development, although complete immunity to the disease failed to develop. Maturation of cone tissues was associated with multiple significant affects on the pathogen manifested as reduced germination of conidia, diminished frequency of penetration of bracts, lengthening of the latent period, and decreased sporulation. Cones challenged with P. macularis in juvenile developmental stages also led to greater frequency of colonization by a complex of saprophytic, secondary fungi. Since no developmental stage of cones was immune to powdery mildew, the incidence of powdery mildew continued to increase over time and exceeded 86% by late summer. In field experiments with a moderately susceptible cultivar, the incidence of cones with powdery mildew was statistically similar when fungicide applications were made season-long or targeted only to the juvenile stages of cone development. These studies establish that partial ontogenic resistance develops in hop cones and may influence multiple phases of the infection process and pathogen reproduction. The results further reinforce the concept that the efficacy of a fungicide program may depend largely on timing of a small number of sprays during a relatively brief period of cone development. However in practice, targeting fungicide and other management tactics to periods of enhanced juvenile susceptibility may be complicated by a high degree of asynchrony in cone development and other factors that are situation-dependent.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated the health and safety effects of urban green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) installments. Methods. We conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of the effects of GSI installments on health (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol and stress levels) and safety (e.g., felonies, nuisance and property crimes, narcotics crimes) outcomes from 2000 to 2012 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We used mixed-effects regression models to compare differences in pre- and post-treatment measures of outcomes for treatment sites (n = 52) and randomly chosen, matched control sites (n = 186) within multiple geographic extents surrounding GSI sites. Results. Regression-adjusted models showed consistent and statistically significant reductions in narcotics possession (18%–27% less) within 16th-mile, quarter-mile, half-mile (P < .001), and eighth-mile (P < .01) distances from treatment sites and at the census tract level (P < .01). Narcotics manufacture and burglaries were also significantly reduced at multiple scales. Non-significant reductions in homicides, assaults, thefts, public drunkenness, and narcotics sales were associated with GSI installation in at least 1 geographic extent. Conclusions. Health and safety considerations should be included in future assessments of GSI programs. Subsequent studies should assess mechanisms of this association. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Intermediate wheatgrass ( Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey), a segmental autoallohexaploid (2 n = 6 x = 42), is not only an important forage crop but also a valuable gene reservoir for wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) improvement. Throughout the scientific literature, there continues to be disagreement as to the origin of the different genomes in intermediate wheatgrass. Genotypic data obtained from newly developed EST-SSR primers derived from the putative progenitor diploid species Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) Á. Löve ( St genome), Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve ( J = Jb = Eb), and Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D. Dewey ( E = Je = Ee) indicate that the V genome of Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand is not one of the three genomes in intermediate wheatgrass. Based on all available information in the literature and findings in this study, the genomic designation of intermediate wheatgrass should be changed to JvsJrSt, where Jvs and Jr represent ancestral genomes of present-day Jb of Th. bessarabicum and Je of Th. elongatum, with Jvs being more ancient. Furthermore, the information suggests that the St genome in intermediate wheatgrass is most similar to the present-day St found in diploid species of Pseudoroegneria from Eurasia.

Löve (génome St), Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul & Rayss) Á. Löve ( J = Jb = Eb) et Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D. Dewey ( E = Je = Ee), indiquent que le génome V du Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand n'est pas l'un des trois génomes chez le chiendent intermédiaire. Sur la base de toutes les informations disponibles dans la littérature et des résultats de cette étude, la formule génomique du chiendent intermédiaire devrait être changée pour JvsJrSt, où Jvs et Jr représentent les génomes ancestraux correspondant aux génomes actuels du Th. bessarabicum ( Jb) et du Th. elongatum ( Je), le Jvs étant le plus ancien. De plus, ces informations suggèrent que le génome St chez le chiendent intermédiaire ressemble le plus aux génomes St contemporains au sein des espèces diploïdes du genre Pseudoroegneria de l'Eurasie.

AB  - Although apolipoprotein E (APOE) variants are associated with age-related diseases, the underlying mechanism is unknown and DNA methylation may be a potential one. With methylation data, measured by the Infinium Human Methylation 450 array, from 993 participants (age ranging from 18 to 87 years) in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study, and from Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) consortium, combined with published methylation datasets, we described the methylation pattern of 13 CpG sites within APOE locus, their correlations with gene expression across cell types, and their relationships with age, plasma lipids, and sequence variants. Based on methylation levels and the genetic regions, we categorized the 13 APOE CpG sites into three groups: Group 1 showed hypermethylation (> 50%) and were located in the promoter region, Group 2 exhibited hypomethylation (< 50%) and were located in the first two exons and introns, and Group 3 showed hypermethylation (> 50%) and were located in the exon 4. APOE methylation was negatively correlated with gene expression (minimum r = –0.66, P = 0.004). APOE methylation was significantly associated with age (minimum P = 2.06E-08) and plasma total cholesterol (minimum P = 3.53E-03). Finally, APOE methylation patterns differed across APOE e variants (minimum P = 3.51E-05) and the promoter variant rs405509 (minimum P = 0.01), which further showed a significant interaction with age (P = 0.03). These findings suggest that methylation may be a potential mechanistic explanation for APOE functions related to aging and call for further molecular mechanistic studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genomic Selection (GS) is a new breeding method in which genome-wide markers are used to predict the breeding value of individuals in a breeding population. GS has been shown to improve breeding efficiency in dairy cattle and several crop plant species, and here we evaluate for the first time its efficacy for breeding inbred lines of rice. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in conjunction with five-fold GS cross-validation on a population of 363 elite breeding lines from the International Rice Research Institute's (IRRI) irrigated rice breeding program and herein report the GS results. The population was genotyped with 73,147 markers using genotyping-by-sequencing. The training population, statistical method used to build the GS model, number of markers, and trait were varied to determine their effect on prediction accuracy. For all three traits, genomic prediction models outperformed prediction based on pedigree records alone. Prediction accuracies ranged from 0.31 and 0.34 for grain yield and plant height to 0.63 for flowering time. Analyses using subsets of the full marker set suggest that using one marker every 0.2 cM is sufficient for genomic selection in this collection of rice breeding materials. RR-BLUP was the best performing statistical method for grain yield where no large effect QTL were detected by GWAS, while for flowering time, where a single very large effect QTL was detected, the non-GS multiple linear regression method outperformed GS models. For plant height, in which four mid-sized QTL were identified by GWAS, random forest produced the most consistently accurate GS models. Our results suggest that GS, informed by GWAS interpretations of genetic architecture and population structure, could become an effective tool for increasing the efficiency of rice breeding as the costs of genotyping continue to decline.

AB  - The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and account for the bulk of plant biomass. The coordination between transcriptional regulation of synthesis for each polymer is complex and vital to cell function. A regulatory hierarchy of developmental switches has been proposed, although the full complement of regulators remains unknown. Here we present a protein-DNA network between Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors and secondary cell wall metabolic genes with gene expression regulated by a series of feed-forward loops. This model allowed us to develop and validate new hypotheses about secondary wall gene regulation under abiotic stress. Distinct stresses are able to perturb targeted genes to potentially promote functional adaptation. These interactions will serve as a foundation for understanding the regulation of a complex, integral plant component. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Magnetic refrigeration based on the magnetocaloric effect is one of the best alternatives to compete with vapor-compression technology. Despite being already in its technology transfer stage, there is still room for optimization, namely, on the magnetic responses of the magnetocaloric material. In parallel, the demand for different magnetostrictive materials has been greatly enhanced due to the wide and innovative range of technologies that emerged in the last years (from structural evaluation to straintronics fields). In particular, the Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 compounds are a family of well-known alloys that present both giant magnetocaloric and colossal magnetostriction effects. Despite their remarkable properties, very few reports have been dedicated to the nanostructuring of these materials: here, we report a ~ 800 nm Gd5Si2.7 Ge1.3 thin film. The magnetic and structural investigation revealed that the film undergoes a first order magnetostructural transition and as a consequence exhibits large magnetocaloric effect (-∆SmMAX ~ 8.83 Jkg-1K-1, ∆H = 5T) and giant thermal expansion (12000 p.p.m). The thin film presents a broader magnetic response in comparison with the bulk compound, which results in a beneficial magnetic hysteresis reduction. The ASmMAX exhibited by the Gd5(Si,Ge)4 thin film makes it a promising candidate for micro/nano magnetic refrigeration area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, is an important pest of potato. Like other pathogens, plant parasitic nematodes are presumed to employ effector proteins, secreted into the apoplast as well as the host cytoplasm, to alter plant cellular functions and successfully infect their hosts. We have generated a library of ORFs encoding putative G. rostochiensis putative apoplastic effectors in vectors for expression in planta. These clones were assessed for morphological and developmental effects on plants as well as their ability to induce or suppress plant defenses. Several CLAVATA3/ESR-like proteins induced developmental phenotypes, whereas predicted cell wall-modifying proteins induced necrosis and chlorosis, consistent with roles in cell fate alteration and tissue invasion, respectively. When directed to the apoplast with a signal peptide, two effectors, an ubiquitin extension protein (GrUBCEP12) and an expansin-like protein (GrEXPB2), suppressed defense responses including NB-LRR signaling induced in the cytoplasm. GrEXPB2 also elicited defense response in species- and sequence-specific manner. Our results are consistent with the scenario whereby potato cyst nematodes secrete effectors that modulate host cell fate and metabolism as well as modifying host cell walls. Furthermore, we show a novel role for an apoplastic expansin-like protein in suppressing intra-cellular defense responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: Similar to parks, college campuses may promote physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of adults at urban campuses and parks.Participants: Participants were individuals observed on campuses and parks in April 2011.Methods: The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities was used to assess physical activity at 3 campuses and parks, 3 times/day, for 4 days.Results: Greater proportions of individuals (parks, campuses) were observed in vigorous (28.7%, 11.9%) and sedentary (25%, 18.3%) activities at parks than campuses and a greater proportion observed in walking (69.8%, 46.3%) intensity on campuses than parks. More men than women were observed at both parks and campuses, and paths and sport courts were most frequently used for physical activity.Conclusions: Physical activity intensities differ across college campuses and parks that provided similar physical activity amenities. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness of outdoor campus amenities that promote physical activity and understanding the outdoor amenities that of promote physical activity of women.

AB  - There have been many studies on the effects of tillage on erosional losses from soil, but rarely have soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses been quantified simultaneously during a single erosion event. We applied a simulated rainfall event (70 mm hour-1) to plots within a gently sloping field (6%) in Ohio, USA, on which maize (C4) cultivation had replaced C3 vegetation several decades earlier. The plots were under different tillage management: (i) no till (NT100) for 42 years; (ii) NT100 plots from which 50% (NT50) or (iii) 100% (NT0) of crop residues were removed annually for 8 years; (iv) NT100 plots tilled 24 hours previously (TNT); and (v) conventional tillage (CT) for 28 years. Relationships between SOC, N and P concentrations and natural abundance 1 3C : 15N stable isotope values in the topsoils and sediments suggested that eroded SOC and TN were associated with the erosion of soil organic matter, whilst P losses were driven by the transport of the mineral fraction. Stable 13C isotope analyses revealed that tillage and residue removal both increased the proportion of older (C3), rather than new(C4,maize-derived), SOC in eroded sediments. This study therefore demonstrated that a single tillage event after 42 years of continuous no-till caused larger erosional fluxes than 8 years of continuous removal of all maize residues, and that long-term conventional tillage resulted in the loss of a greater amount of older (>28 years) SOC in eroded sediments, compared with continuous NT management.

AB  - Nearly all flowering plants produce red/violet anthocyanin pigments. Caryophyllales is the only order containing families that replace anthocyanins with unrelated red and yellow betalain pigments. Close biological correlation of pigmentation patterns suggested that betalains might be regulated by a conserved anthocyanin-regulating transcription factor complex consisting of a MYB, a bHLH and a WD repeat-containing protein (the MBW complex). Here we show that a previously uncharacterized anthocyanin MYB-like protein, Beta vulgaris MYB1 (BvMYB1), regulates the betalain pathway in beets. Silencing BvMYB1 downregulates betalain biosynthetic genes and pigmentation, and overexpressing BvMYB1 upregulates them. However, unlike anthocyanin MYBs, BvMYB1 will not interact with bHLH members of heterologous anthocyanin MBW complexes because of identified nonconserved residues. BvMYB1 resides at the historic beet pigment-patterning locus, Y, required for red-fleshed beets. We show that Y and y express different levels of BvMYB1 transcripts. The co-option of a transcription factor regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis would be an important evolutionary event allowing betalains to largely functionally replace anthocyanins.

AB  - Classical cadherin cell-cell adhesion proteins are essential for the formation and maintenance of tissue structures; their primary function is to physically couple neighboring cells and withstand mechanical force. Cadherins from opposing cells bind in two distinct trans conformations: strand-swap dimers and X-dimers. As cadherins convert between these conformations, they form ideal bonds (i.e., adhesive interactions that are insensitive to force). However, the biophysical mechanism for ideal bond formation is unknown. Here, we integrate single-molecule force measurements with coarsegrained and atomistic simulations to resolve the mechanistic basis for cadherin ideal bond formation. Using simulations, we predict the energy landscape for cadherin adhesion, the transition pathways for interconversion between X-dimers and strand-swap dimers, and the cadherin structures that form ideal bonds. Based on these predictions, we engineer cadherin mutants that promote or inhibit ideal bond formation and measure their force-dependent kinetics using single-molecule force-clamp measurements with an atomic force microscope. Our data establish that cadherins adopt an intermediate conformation as they shuttle between X-dimers and strandswap dimers; pulling on this conformation induces a torsional motion perpendicular to the pulling direction that unbinds the proteins and forms force-independent ideal bonds. Torsional motion is blocked when cadherins associate laterally in a cis orientation, suggesting that ideal bonds may play a role in mechanically regulating cadherin clustering on cell surfaces.

AB  - Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural operations continue to increase. Carbon (C)-enriched char materials like biochar have been described as a mitigation strategy. Utilization of biochar material as a soil amendment has been demonstrated to provide potentially greater soil GHG suppression due to its interactions in the soil system. However, these effects are variable and the duration of the impact remains uncertain. Various (nano)materials can be used to modify chars to obtain surface functionality to mitigate GHG emissions. This review critically focusses on the innovative methodologies for improving char efficiency, underpinning GHG mitigation and C sequestration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The aim of this 2-year field experiment was to investigate agronomic and economic efficiency of ground tire rubber and rubber ash as zinc (Zn) sources for wheat (Triticum aestivumL. cvs. Kavir and Back Cross) compared with a commercial zinc sulfate (ZnSO4). A similar rate of Zn was used by soil incorporation of 40 kg/ha ZnSO4, 200 kg/ha waste tire rubber ash, and 1000 kg/ha ground rubber. A no Zn added treatment was also considered as control. All Zn fertilizers significantly increased grain yield of wheat over the control, although effectiveness of rubber ash was greater than the other Zn sources. Wheat plants treated with rubber ash accumulated higher Zn in their grains compared with those treated with ground rubber and ZnSO4. Tire rubber ash had the highest agronomic and economic efficiency and contained low levels of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Therefore, it can be used as an economic substitution for commercial ZnSO4.

AB  - Photosynthetic microalgae have promise as biofuel feedstock. Under certain conditions, they produce substantial amounts of neutral lipids, mainly in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs), which can be converted to fuels. Much of our current knowledge on the genetic and molecular basis of algal neutral lipid metabolism derives mainly from studies of plants, i.e. seed tissues, and to a lesser extent from direct studies of algal lipid metabolism. Thus, the knowledge of TAG synthesis and the cellular trafficking of TAG precursors in algal cells is to a large extent based on genome predictions, and most aspects of TAG metabolism have yet to be experimentally verified. The biofuel prospects of microalgae have raised the interest in mechanistic studies of algal TAG biosynthesis in recent years and resulted in an increasing number of publications on lipid metabolism in microalgae. In this review we summarize the current findings on genetic, molecular and physiological studies of TAG accumulation in microalgae. Special emphasis is on the functional analysis of key genes involved in TAG synthesis, molecular mechanisms of regulation of TAG biosynthesis, as well as on possible mechanisms of lipid droplet formation in microalgal cells. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Plant Lipid Biology edited by Kent D. Chapman and Ivo Feussner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Several species of the ambrosia beetle Euwallacea (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) cultivate Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) species in their galleries as a source of food. Like all other scolytine beetles in the tribe Xyleborini, Euwallacea are thought to be obligate mutualists with their fungal symbionts. Published diversification-time estimates suggest that the Euwallacea - Fusarium symbiosis evolved once approximately 21 million years ago. Female Euwallacea possess paired oral mycangia within which foundresses transport their Fusarium symbiont vertically from their natal gallery to new woody hosts. During the past two decades, exotic Asian Euwallacea - Fusarium mutualists have been introduced into the United States, Israel and Australia. Because these invasive pests attack and can reproduce on living woody hosts, they pose a serious threat to native forests, urban landscapes and the avocado industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hazards of soil-borne lead (Pb) to wild birds may be more accurately quantified if the bioavailability of that Pb is known. To better understand the bioavailability of Pb to birds, the authors measured blood Pb concentrations in Japanese quail ( Coturnix japonica) fed diets containing Pb-contaminated soils. Relative bioavailabilities were expressed by comparison with blood Pb concentrations in quail fed a Pb acetate reference diet. Diets containing soil from 5 Pb-contaminated Superfund sites had relative bioavailabilities from 33% to 63%, with a mean of approximately 50%. Treatment of 2 of the soils with phosphorus (P) significantly reduced the bioavailability of Pb. Bioaccessibility of Pb in the test soils was then measured in 6 in vitro tests and regressed on bioavailability: the relative bioavailability leaching procedure at pH 1.5, the same test conducted at pH 2.5, the Ohio State University in vitro gastrointestinal method, the urban soil bioaccessible lead test, the modified physiologically based extraction test, and the waterfowl physiologically based extraction test. All regressions had positive slopes. Based on criteria of slope and coefficient of determination, the relative bioavailability leaching procedure at pH 2.5 and Ohio State University in vitro gastrointestinal tests performed very well. Speciation by X-ray absorption spectroscopy demonstrated that, on average, most of the Pb in the sampled soils was sorbed to minerals (30%), bound to organic matter (24%), or present as Pb sulfate (18%). Additional Pb was associated with P (chloropyromorphite, hydroxypyromorphite, and tertiary Pb phosphate) and with Pb carbonates, leadhillite (a lead sulfate carbonate hydroxide), and Pb sulfide. The formation of chloropyromorphite reduced the bioavailability of Pb, and the amendment of Pb-contaminated soils with P may be a thermodynamically favored means to sequester Pb.

AB  - Soil moisture is one of the essential climate variables for the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) that has been prioritized by the ESA's Climate Change Initiative to construct its homogeneous long-term climate record. This requires a consistent characterization of the error structures in the individual data sets, which vary due to changes in instrument configuration and calibration, and retrieval algorithm design. In this paper, the random error and systematic differences in nine passive and active microwave satellite soil moisture products over Australia (time coverage: 1978–present) are estimated in a same manner for SM components at subseasonal and seasonal-to-interannual timescales separately. The multi-scale error structures are found to be non-trivial and vary between the products, giving cause for conducting multi-scale merging with awareness of these differences. Noticeable similarities between the error structures of the satellite products derived from same retrieval algorithm and same measuring frequency however suggest transferability of error parameters between them. Using partial rank correlation analysis, the error maps are linked to statistics on vegetation index, digital elevation, soil moisture and soil temperature, and land cover fractions and mixing in order to explain the observed variability and the similarities between the products.

AB  - The US Pacific Northwest (PNW) is characterized by high latitude and Mediterranean climate where wheat production is predominantly rain-fed and often subject to low soil moisture. As a result, selection for drought-adaptive traits in modern cultivars has been an integral component of the regional breeding programs. The goal of this research was to evaluate phenotypic associations of morpho-physiological traits and their response to soil moisture variation in winter wheat germplasm adapted to the PNW. A panel of 402 winter wheat accessions (87 hard and 315 soft) was evaluated for spectral reflectance indices (SRIs), canopy temperature (CT), plant stature, phenology, grain yield, and yield components under rain-fed and irrigated conditions in 2012–2014. Variation in soil moisture and temperature cumulatively explained 86% of total yield variation across years and locations. The phenotypic associations of yield with phenology, plant height, and CT were environment dependent. Various SRIs related to biomass, stay green, pigment composition, and hydration status showed consistent patterns of response to drought and strong correlations with yield ( p < 0.001). The compensatory interaction of grain number and weight was indicated in the negative correlation between thousand kernel weight and grain number per spike across moisture regimes. Area under vegetation index curve (AUVIC) explained 53–88% of the total variation in stay green estimated from visual score of flag leaf senescence ( p < 0.001). Principal component analysis revealed three major clusters that explained more than 76% of interrelations among traits. The market classes within the study population showed differentiation with respect to these traits. This study highlights the potential use of spectral radiometry in field screening of winter wheat for grain yield and drought adaptation in Mediterranean-like environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The use of canopy spectral reflectance as a high throughput selection method has been recommended to augment genetic gain from yield based selection in highly variable environments. The objectives of this study were to estimate genotypic correlations between grain yield and spectral reflectance indices (SRIs), and estimate heritability, expected response to selection, relative efficiency of indirect selection, and accuracy of yield predictive models in Pacific Northwest winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) under a range of moisture regimes. A diversity panel of 402 winter wheat genotypes (87 hard and 315 soft) was grown in rain-fed and irrigated conditions across the eastern Washington in 2012 and 2013. Canopy spectral reflectance measured at heading, milk, soft dough, and hard dough stages were used to derive several SRIs which generally had higher broad sense heritability ( H 2 ) than yield per se . Grain yield and SRIs showed generally high genetic variability and response to selection in moist-cool rain-fed condition. Efficiency of indirect selection for yield using SRIs was high in drought environment and exceeded efficiency of yield-based selection in the soft winter subgroup. Normalized water band index (NWI) showed consistent response to selection across environments, higher genetic correlation with yield (0.51–0.80, p < 0.001), and highest indirect selection efficiency (up to 143%). A yield predictive model with one or more SRIs explained 41–82% of total variation in grain yield ( p < 0.001). The repeatability of genotypic performance between years increased when selection was conducted based on both SRIs and grain yield compared to selection based on yield or SRI alone. The generally high heritability of SRIs and their significant genotypic correlation with grain yield highlight the possibility to improve yield and yield stability in winter wheat through remotely sensed phenotyping approaches.

AB  - Whole wheat products provide critical nutrients for human health, but flavor of whole wheat products may hinder consumer acceptance. However, flavor differences among wheat varieties are not well understood. Using a mouse model system, flavor of whole wheat grain was examined using a two-choice feeding system. A bi-parental recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from Clark's Cream x NY6432-18 was used for mapping flavor preference. Clark's Cream is a hard white, and NY6432-18 is a soft white wheat. “Yummy” (cv. Diva soft white) and “yucky” (cv. Macon hard white) varieties were used as ‘checks’ for evaluating each RIL. Marker-trait association was performed using the Student's t as a preference phenotype from each check-RIL comparison. Twenty-two significant marker associations were found. Because mice prefer softer kernel texture, the effect of the Puroindoline b haplotype and phenotypic kernel texture were used as covariates in analyses. Twenty-eight markers exhibited significant associations in the two covariate analyses, with an additional five having significant associations in both covariate analyses. The results indicate that there is an identifiable genetic basis for flavor preference independent of kernel texture. Identifying flavor genes in wheat grain may help facilitate the development of varieties with greater palatability for whole-wheat products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Matrix recrystallization is optimized and applied to improve lipid ion signals in maize embryos and leaves. A systematic study was performed varying solvent and incubation time. During this study, unexpected side reactions were found when methanol was used as a recrystallization solvent, resulting in the formation of a methyl ester of phosphatidic acid. Using an optimum recrystallization condition with isopropanol, there is no apparent delocalization demonstrated with a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) pattern and maize leaf images obtained at 10 μm spatial resolution.

AB  - The fate and transport of triclosan (5-chloro-2-[2,4-dichlorophenoxy]phenol), a widely used antimicrobial agent in personal care products, in aquatic ecosystems is a growing environmental concern. At ecosystem scales, triclosan potentially interacts with co-occurring nutrient stressors to affect overall biogeochemical cycling through consumer-mediated nutrient recycling pathways. We examined N- and P-excretion rates of snails (Physella spp.) in 12 outdoor experimental stream mesocosms dosed with 3 P treatments crossed with 3 triclosan treatments and a methanol carrier control. Snail N- and P-excretion rates increased with decreasing periphyton C: N and C: P ratios across the P-enrichment gradient. N- and P-excretion rates were significantly higher in the high-triclosan than in the methanol control treatments on day 14, but only in high-P-enrichment streams. However, methanol had positive effects on N- and P-excretion rates in low- and high-P-enrichment treatments compared to nonsolvent controls, but no effect at background P concentrations. Multiple inferences can be drawn from our study. First, whereas many investigators have confirmed that using methanol as a carrier below established regulatory levels does not influence laboratory and mesocosm ecotoxicology responses, our results suggest that low-level methanol concentrations can influence measures of ecosystem function. Second, higher use of triclosan and other antimicrobial agents in commercial products coupled with predicted urbanization and surfacewater shortages in the future have the potential to increase triclosan concentrations and shift patterns in consumermediated nutrient cycling in aquatic systems because of interactive effects of antimicrobial agents and nutrient enrichment.

AB  - Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread parasite of warm-blooded vertebrates that also causes opportunistic infections in humans. Rodents are a natural host for asexually replicating forms, whereas cats serve as the definitive host for sexual development. The laboratory mouse provides a model to study pathogenesis. Strains of T. gondii are globally diverse, with more than 16 distinct haplogroups clustered into 6 major clades. Forward genetic analysis of genetic crosses between different lineages has been used to define the molecular basis of acute virulence in the mouse. These studies have identified a family of secretory serine/threonine rhoptry kinases that target innate immune pathways to protect intracellular parasites from destruction. Rhoptry kinases target immunity-related GTPases, a family of immune effectors that is expanded in rodents. Similar forward genetic studies may be useful to define the basis of pathogenesis in other hosts, including humans, where infections of different strains present with variable clinical severity.

AB  - A series of simulated rainfall-runoff experiments with applications of different manure types (cattle solid pats, poultry dry litter, swine slurry) was conducted across four seasons on a field containing 36 plots (0.75 × 2 m each), resulting in 144 rainfall-runoff events. Simulating time-varying release of Escherichia coli, enterococci, and fecal coliforms from manures applied at typical agronomic rates evaluated the efficacy of the Bradford-Schijven model modified by adding terms for release efficiency and transportation loss. Two complementary, parallel approaches were used to calibrate the model and estimate microbial release parameters. The first was a four-step sequential procedure using the inverse model PEST, which provides appropriate initial parameter values. The second utilized a PEST/bootstrap procedure to estimate average parameters across plots, manure age, and microbe, and to provide parameter distributions. The experiment determined that manure age, microbe, and season had no clear relationship to the release curve. Cattle solid pats released microbes at a different, slower rate than did poultry dry litter or swine slurry, which had very similar release patterns. These findings were consistent with other published results for both bench- and field-scale, suggesting the modified Bradford-Schijven model can be applied to microbial release from manure.

AB  - ZrMnP and HfMnP single crystals are grown by a self-flux growth technique, and structural as well as temperature dependent magnetic and transport properties are studied. Both compounds have an orthorhombic crystal structure. ZrMnP and HfMnP are ferromagnetic with Curie temperatures around 370K and 320 K, respectively. The spontaneous magnetizations of ZrMnP and HfMnP are determined to be 1.9 μB/f.u. and 2.1 μB/f.u., respectively, at 50K. The magnetocaloric effect of ZrMnP in terms of entropy change (ΔS) is estimated to be -6.7 kJ m-3 K-1 around 369K. The easy axis of magnetization is [100] for both compounds, with a small anisotropy relative to the [010] axis. At 50 K, the anisotropy field along the [001] axis is ~4.6 T for ZrMnP and ~10T for HfMnP. Such large magnetic anisotropy is remarkable considering the absence of rare-earth elements in these compounds. The first principle calculation correctly predicts the magnetization and hard axis orientation for both compounds, and predicts the experimental HfMnP anisotropy field within 25%. More importantly, our calculations suggest that the large magnetic anisotropy comes primarily from the Mn atoms, suggesting that similarly large anisotropies may be found in other 3d transition metal compounds.

AB  - Ascomycete yeasts are metabolically diverse, with great potential for biotechnology. Here, we report the comparative genome analysis of 29 taxonomically and biotechnologically important yeasts, including 16 newly sequenced. We identify a genetic code change, CUG-Ala, in Pachysolen tannophilus in the clade sister to the known CUG-Ser clade. Our well-resolved yeast phylogeny shows that some traits, such as methylotrophy, are restricted to single clades, whereas others, such as l-rhamnose utilization, have patchy phylogenetic distributions. Gene clusters, with variable organization and distribution, encode many pathways of interest. Genomics can predict some biochemical traits precisely, but the genomic basis of others, such as xylose utilization, remains unresolved. Our data also provide insight into early evolution of ascomycetes. We document the loss of H3K9me2/3 heterochromatin, the origin of ascomycete mating-type switching, and panascomycete synteny at the MAT locus. These data and analyses will facilitate the engineering of efficient biosynthetic and degradative pathways and gateways for genomic manipulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Microbial symbionts living within animal guts are largely composed of resident bacterial species, forming communities that often provide benefits to the host. Gut microbiomes of adult honey bees (Apis mellifera) include core residents such as the betaproteobacterium Snodgrassella alvi, alongside transient parasites such as the protozoan Lotmaria passim. To test how these species affect microbiome composition and host physiology, we administered S. alvi and/or L. passim inocula to newly emergedworker bees from four genetic backgrounds (GH) and reared them in normal (within hives) or stressed (proteindeficient, asocial) conditions. Microbiota acquired by normal bees were abundant but quantitatively differed across treatments, indicating treatment-associated dysbiosis. Pretreatment with S. alvi made normal bees more susceptible to L. passim and altered developmental and detoxification gene expression. Stressed bees were more susceptible to L. passim and were depauperate in core microbiota, yet supplementation with S. alvi did not alter this susceptibility. Microbiomes were generally more variable by GH in stressed bees, which also showed opposing and comparatively reduced modulation of gene expression responses to treatments compared with normal bees. These data provide experimental support for a link between altered gut microbiota and increased parasite and pathogen prevalence, as observed from honey bee colony collapse disorder.

AB  - Objective: To examine temporal trends and determinants of discretionary salt use in the USA. Design: Multiple logistic regression was used to assess temporal trends in discretionary salt use at the table and during home cooking/preparation, adjusting for demographic characteristics, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2012. Prevalence and determinants of discretionary salt use in 2009-2012 were also examined. Setting: Participants answered salt use questions after completing a 24 h dietary recall in a mobile examination centre. Subjects: Nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized US children and adults, aged ≥2 years. Results: From 2003 to 2012, the proportion of the population who reported using salt 'very often' declined; from 18% to 12% for use at the table (P <0·01) and from 42% to 37% during home cooking (P<0·02). While one-third of the population reported never adding salt at the table, most used it during home cooking/ preparation (93%). Use of discretionary salt was least commonly reported among young children and older adults and demographic and health subgroups at risk of CVD. Conclusions: While most people reported using salt during home cooking/ preparation, a minority reported use at the table. Reported 'very often' discretionary salt use has declined. That discretionary salt use is less common among those at risk of CVD suggests awareness of messages to limit Na intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Seismic piezocone test (SCPTù) is a representative geophysical and geotechnical in-situ test which can generate multiple types of independent readings and collect relatively continuous data, as well as investigate both vertical and lateral spatial variability for geo-characterization. This study presents special and advanced applications of SCPTù towards geotechnical site investigations in west central South Carolina, US, which consists of very complex soil formations and unusual geologic settings. The special geologic conditions include apparent gap-graded soils, calcareous soils, cementious bonding, desiccation, ageing, and the dissolutioning of old calcareous sediments (Santee Formation) at depths of 40 to 50 meter below grade, similar to karstic limestone deposits. Especially, diagenetic processes in the Santee carbonate mineral sediments have resulted in caves, voids, and infilled soft soil zones within the soil matrix at these elevations. The data obtained from SCPTù system are successfully utilized for assessing the various special geologic conditions. Furthermore, a unique example is introduced to represent the powerful application of SCPTù toward special void detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many important crops are members of the Poaceae family, which develop root systems characterized by a high degree of root initiation from the belowground basal nodes of the shoot, termed the crown. Although this postembryonic shoot-borne root system represents the major conduit for water uptake, little is known about the effect of water availability on its development. Here we demonstrate that in the model C4 grass Setaria viridis, the crown locally senses water availability and suppresses postemergence crown root growth under a water deficit. This response was observed in field and growth room environments and in all grass species tested. Luminescence-based imaging of root systems grown in soil-like media revealed a shift in root growth from crown-derived to primary root-derived branches, suggesting that primary root-dominated architecture can be induced in S. viridis under certain stress conditions. Crown roots of Zea mays and Setaria italica, domesticated relatives of teosinte and S. viridis, respectively, show reduced sensitivity to water deficit, suggesting that this response might have been influenced by human selection. Enhanced water status of maize mutants lacking crown roots suggests that under a water deficit, stronger suppression of crown roots actually may benefit crop productivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The mechanistic basis of tolerance to heat stress was investigated in Oryza sativa and two wild rice species, Oryza meridionalis and Oryza australiensis. The wild relatives are endemic to the hot, arid Australian savannah., Leaf elongation rates and gas exchange were measured during short periods of supra-optimal heat, revealing species differences. The Rubisco activase ( RCA) gene from each species was sequenced. Using expressed recombinant RCA and leaf-extracted RCA, the kinetic properties of the two isoforms were studied under high temperatures., Leaf elongation was undiminished at 45°C in O. australiensis. The net photosynthetic rate was almost 50% slower in O. sativa at 45°C than at 28°C, while in O. australiensis it was unaffected. Oryza meridionalis exhibited intermediate heat tolerance. Based on previous reports that RCA is heat-labile, the Rubisco activation state was measured. It correlated positively with leaf elongation rates across all three species and four periods of exposure to 45°C. Sequence analysis revealed numerous polymorphisms in the RCA amino acid sequence from O. australiensis. The O. australiensis RCA enzyme was thermally stable up to 42°C, contrasting with RCA from O. sativa, which was inhibited at 36°C., We attribute heat tolerance in the wild species to thermal stability of RCA, enabling Rubisco to remain active.

AB  - Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) causes severe foodborne illness (listeriosis). Previous molecular subtyping methods, such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), were critical in detecting outbreaks that led to food safety improvements and declining incidence, but PFGE provides limited genetic resolution. A multiagency collaboration began performing real-time, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on all US Lm isolates from patients, food, and the environment in September 2013, posting sequencing data into a public repository. Compared with the year before the project began, WGS, combined with epidemiologic and product trace-back data, detected more listeriosis clusters and solved more outbreaks (2 outbreaks in pre-WGS year, 5 in WGS year 1, and 9 in year 2). Whole-genome multilocus sequence typing and single nucleotide polymorphism analyses provided equivalent phylogenetic relationships relevant to investigations; results were most useful when interpreted in context of epidemiological data. WGS has transformed listeriosis outbreak surveillance and is being implemented for other foodborne pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Leafminer (Liriomyza langei) is a major insect pest of many important agricultural crops, including spinach (Spinacia oleracea). Use of genetic resistance is an efficient, economic, and environment-friendly method to control this pest. The objective of this research was to conduct association analysis and identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with leafminer resistance in spinach germplasm. A total of 300 USDA spinach germplasm accessions were used for the association analysis of leafminer resistance. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used for genotyping and 783 SNPs from GBS were used for association analysis. The leafminer resistance showed a near normal distribution with a wide range from 1.1 to 11.7 stings per square centimeter leaf area, suggesting that the leafminer resistance in spinach is a complex trait controlled by multiple genes with minor effect in this spinach panel. Association analysis indicated that five SNP markers, AYZV02040968_7171, AYZV02076752_412, AYZV02098618_4615, AYZV02147304_383, and AYZV02271373_398, were associated with the leafminer resistance with LOD 2.5 or higher. The SNP markers may be useful for breeders to select plants and lines for leafminer resistance in spinach breeding programs through marker-assisted selection. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La mouche mineuse (Liriomyza langei) est un insecte ravageur important chez plusieurs cultures dont l’épinard (Spinacia oleracea). Le recours à la résistance génétique constitue une méthode de lutte efficiente, économique et écologique contre ce ravageur. L’objectif de ce travail était de réaliser une analyse d’association et d’identifier des marqueurs SNP (polymorphismes mononucléotidiques) associés à la résistance à la mineuse au sein des ressources génétiques de l’épinard. Au total, 300 accessions de la collection du USDA ont été employées pour l’analyse d’association avec la résistance à la mineuse. Le génotypage a été réalisé au moyen du génotypage par séquençage (GBS) et 783 marqueurs SNP ont été utilisés pour l’analyse d’association. La résistance à la mineuse ressemblait à une distribution normale, le nombre de piqures par centimètre carré de surface foliaire variant entre 1,1 et 11,7; ceci suggère que la résistance à la mineuse est un caractère complexe contrôlé par de nombreux gènes à effet mineur au sein de cette collection d’accessions d’épinard. L’analyse d’association a révélé que cinq marqueurs (AYZV02040968_7171, AYZV02076752_412, AYZV02098618_4615, AYZV02147304_383 et AYZV02271373_398) étaient associés à la résistance à la mineuse, avec un score LOD de 2,5 ou plus. Ces marqueurs aideront possiblement les sélectionneurs à développer des plantes et des lignées dotées d’une résistance à la mineuse dans le cadre de programmes d’amélioration génétique assistée de marqueurs.

AB  - To better address how much groundwater contributes to the loadings of pollutants from agriculture we developed a specific dating tool for groundwater residence times. This tool is based on metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid, which is a major soil metabolite of metolachlor. The chiral forms of metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid (MESA) and the chiral forms of metolachlor were examined over a 6-year period in samples of groundwater and water from a groundwater-fed stream in a riparian buffer zone. This buffer zone bordered cropland receiving annual treatments with metolachlor. Racemic (rac) metolachlor was applied for two years in the neighboring field, and subsequently S -metolachlor was used which is enriched by 88% with the S -enantiomer. Chiral analyses of the samples showed an exponential increase in abundance of the S -enantiomeric forms for MESA as a function of time for both the first order riparian buffer stream ( R 2 = 0.80) and for groundwater within the riparian buffer ( R 2 = 0.96). However, the S -enrichment values for metolachlor were consistently high indicating different delivery mechanisms for MESA and metolachlor. A mean residence time of 3.8 years was determined for depletion of the initially-applied rac-metolachlor. This approach could be useful in dating groundwater and determining the effectiveness of conservation measures. One sentence summary A mean residence time of 3.8 years was calculated for groundwater feeding a first-order stream by plotting the timed-decay for the R -enantiomer of metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid.

AB  - Cereal rusts, caused by obligate and biotrophic fungi in the genus Puccinia, are important diseases that threaten world food security. With the recent discovery of alternate hosts for the stripe rust fungus ( Puccinia striiformis), all cereal rust fungi are now known to be heteroecious, requiring two distinct plant species serving as primary or alternate hosts to complete their sexual life cycle. The roles of the alternate hosts in disease epidemiology and pathogen variation vary greatly from species to species and from region to region because of different climatic and cropping conditions. We focus this review on rust fungi of small grains, mainly stripe rust, stem rust, leaf rust, and crown rust of wheat, barley, oat, rye, and triticale, with emphases on the contributions of alternate hosts to the development and management of rust diseases.

AB  - Several species of enteric pathogens produce curli fimbriae, which may affect their interaction with surfaces and other microbes in nonhost environments. Here we used two Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreak strains with distinct genotypes to understand the role of curli in surface attachment and biofilm formation in several systems relevant to fresh produce production and processing. Curli significantly enhanced the initial attachment of E. coli O157:H7 to spinach leaves and stainless steel surfaces by 5-fold. Curli was also required for E. coli O157:H7 biofilm formation on stainless steel and enhanced biofilm production on glass by 19–27 fold in LB no-salt broth. However, this contribution was not observed when cells were grown in sterile spinach lysates. Furthermore, both strains of E. coli O157:H7 produced minimal biofilms on polypropylene in LB no-salt broth but considerable amounts in spinach lysates. Under the latter conditions, curli appeared to slightly increase biofilm production. Importantly, curli played an essential role in the formation of mixed biofilm by E. coli O157:H7 and plant-associated microorganisms in spinach leaf washes, as revealed by confocal microscopy. Little or no E. coli O157:H7 biofilms were detected at 4 °C, supporting the importance of temperature control in postharvest and produce processing environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In an attempt to transfer the Lr56/Yr38 resistance loci from Aegilops sharonensis to wheat, a 6A-6Ssh chromosome translocation was produced. It involves essentially the entire chromosome 6Ssh with a small terminal segment of 6 AL. Induced homoeologous recombination of the translocated chromosome with 6A produced numerous recombinants including three recombined chromosomes carrying Lr56 that could not be precisely mapped for lack of suitable markers. This study aimed to determine the chromosomal locations of the translocation breakpoints in these three recombinants using various DNA markers as well as physical and genetic mapping. The three recombinants Lr56-39, -157 and -175 carry small segments of Ae. sharonensis chromatin distally to the Xgpw4329 and IWA5416 loci near the 6 AS telomere. The Ae. sharonensis chromatin that remains in each line includes a homoeolocus of the wheat marker locus Xdupw217 (on 6 BS) and its characteristic amplification product can be used as a dominant marker for the presence of Lr56. Of the three recombined chromosomes, Lr56-157 retained the least alien chromatin and appears to be the best candidate for use in wheat breeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key points Blood glucose is an important fuel for endurance exercise. It can be derived from ingested carbohydrate, stored liver glycogen and newly synthesized glucose (gluconeogenesis)., We hypothesized that athletes habitually following a low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) diet would have higher rates of gluconeogenesis during exercise compared to those who follow a mixed macronutrient diet., We used stable isotope tracers to study glucose production kinetics during a 2 h ride in cyclists habituated to either a LCHF or mixed macronutrient diet., The LCHF cyclists had lower rates of total glucose production and hepatic glycogenolysis but similar rates of gluconeogenesis compared to those on the mixed diet., The LCHF cyclists did not compensate for reduced dietary carbohydrate availability by increasing glucose synthesis during exercise but rather adapted by altering whole body substrate utilization., Abstract Endogenous glucose production (EGP) occurs via hepatic glycogenolysis (GLY) and gluconeogenesis (GNG) and plays an important role in maintaining euglycaemia. Rates of GLY and GNG increase during exercise in athletes following a mixed macronutrient diet; however, these processes have not been investigated in athletes following a low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) diet. Therefore, we studied seven well-trained male cyclists that were habituated to either a LCHF (7% carbohydrate, 72% fat, 21% protein) or a mixed diet (51% carbohydrate, 33% fat, 16% protein) for longer than 8 months. After an overnight fast, participants performed a 2 h laboratory ride at 72% of maximal oxygen consumption. Glucose kinetics were measured at rest and during the final 30 min of exercise by infusion of [6,6-2H2]-glucose and the ingestion of 2H2O tracers. Rates of EGP and GLY both at rest and during exercise were significantly lower in the LCHF group than the mixed diet group (Exercise EGP: LCHF, 6.0 ± 0.9 mg kg−1 min−1, Mixed, 7.8 ± 1.1 mg kg−1 min−1, P < 0.01; Exercise GLY: LCHF, 3.2 ± 0.7 mg kg−1 min−1, Mixed, 5.3 ± 0.9 mg kg−1 min−1, P < 0.01). Conversely, no difference was detected in rates of GNG between groups at rest or during exercise (Exercise: LCHF, 2.8 ± 0.4 mg kg−1 min−1, Mixed, 2.5 ± 0.3 mg kg−1 min−1, P = 0.15). We conclude that athletes on a LCHF diet do not compensate for reduced glucose availability via higher rates of glucose synthesis compared to athletes on a mixed diet. Instead, GNG remains relatively stable, whereas glucose oxidation and GLY are influenced by dietary factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Short self-reported sleep duration is associated with dietary intake and this association may partly mediate the link between short sleep and metabolic abnormalities. Subjective sleep measures, however, may be inaccurate and biased. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between actigraphic measures of sleep fragmentation, efficiency and duration and energy and macronutrient intakes. We used data from a subgroup of 439 participants of the population-based cohort, Rotterdam Study. Sleep was assessed using 7-day actigraphy and sleep diaries, and dietary data with a validated food frequency questionnaire. We assessed the associations of actigraphic sleep parameters with dietary intake using multivariable linear regression models. Higher sleep fragmentation was associated with 4.19 g lower carbohydrate intake per standard deviation of fragmentation { β [95% confidence interval ( CI) = −4.19 (−8.0, −0.3)]; P = 0.03}. Each additional percentage increase in sleep efficiency was associated with 11.1 kcal lower energy intake [ β (95% CI) = −11.1 (−20.6, −1.7); P = 0.02]. Furthermore, very short sleep duration (<5.5 h) was associated with 218.1 kcal higher energy intake [ β (95% CI = 218.06 (33.3, 402.8), P = 0.02], relative to the reference group (≥6.5 to <7.5 h). We observed associations between higher sleep fragmentation with lower carbohydrate intake, and both lower sleep efficiency and very short sleep duration (<5 h) with higher energy intake. The association between sleep and higher energy intake could mediate, in part, the link between short sleep or sleep fragmentation index and metabolic abnormalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key message: Identification and characterization of a 254-kb genomic deletion on a duplicated chromosome segment that resulted in a low level of palmitic acid in soybean seeds using transcriptome sequencing. Abstract: A large number of soybean genotypes varying in seed oil composition and content have been identified. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these variations is important for breeders to effectively utilize them as a genetic resource. Through design and application of a bioinformatics approach, we identified nine co-regulated gene clusters by comparing seed transcriptomes of nine soybean genotypes varying in oil composition and content. We demonstrated that four gene clusters in the genotypes M23, Jack and N0304-303-3 coincided with large-scale genome rearrangements. The co-regulated gene clusters in M23 and Jack mapped to a previously described 164-kb deletion and a copy number amplification of the Rhg1 locus, respectively. The coordinately down-regulated gene clusters in N0304-303-3 were caused by a 254-kb deletion containing 19 genes including a fatty acyl- ACP thioesterase B gene ( FATB1a). This deletion was associated with reduced palmitic acid content in seeds and was the molecular cause of a previously reported nonfunctional FATB1a allele, fap. The M23 and N0304-304-3 deletions were located in duplicated genome segments retained from the Glycine-specific whole genome duplication that occurred 13 million years ago. The homoeologous genes in these duplicated regions shared a strong similarity in both their encoded protein sequences and transcript accumulation levels, suggesting that they may have conserved and important functions in seeds. The functional conservation of homoeologous genes may result in genetic redundancy and gene dosage effects for their associated seed traits, explaining why the large deletion did not cause lethal effects or completely eliminate palmitic acid in N0304-303-3.

AB  - Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by some Aspergillus and Penicillium species that grow on economically important agricultural crops and food products. OTA is classified as Group 2B carcinogen and is potently nephrotoxic, which is the basis for its regulation in some jurisdictions. Using high resolution mass spectroscopy, OTA and ochratoxin B (OTB) were detected in liquid culture extracts of Penicillium thymicola DAOMC 180753 isolated from Canadian cheddar cheese. The genome of this strain was sequenced, assembled and annotated to probe for putative genes involved in OTA biosynthesis. Known OTA biosynthetic genes from Penicillium verrucosum or Penicillium nordicum, two related Penicillium species that produce OTA, were not found in P. thymicola . However, a gene cluster containing a polyketide synthase (PKS) and PKS-nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) hybrid encoding genes were located in the P. thymicola genome that showed a high degree of similarity to OTA biosynthetic enzymes of Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus ochraceus . This is the first report of ochratoxin from P. thymicola and a new record of the species in Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <bold>Objective: </bold>Evaluating an intervention's theoretical basis can inform design modifications to produce more effective interventions. Hence the present study's purpose was to determine if effects from a multicomponent lifestyle intervention were mediated by changes in the psychosocial constructs decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support.<bold>Design: </bold>Delta Body and Soul III, conducted from August 2011 to May 2012, was a 6-month, church-based, lifestyle intervention designed to improve diet quality and increase physical activity. Primary outcomes, diet quality and aerobic and strength/flexibility physical activity, as well as psychosocial constructs, were assessed via self-report, interviewer-administered surveys at baseline and post intervention. Mediation analyses were conducted using ordinary least squares (continuous outcomes) and maximum likelihood logistic (dichotomous outcomes) regression path analysis.<bold>Setting: </bold>Churches (five intervention and three control) were recruited from four counties in the Lower Mississippi Delta region of the USA.<bold>Subjects: </bold>Rural, Southern, primarily African-American adults (n 321).<bold>Results: </bold>Based upon results from the multiple mediation models, there was no evidence that treatment (intervention v. control) indirectly influenced changes in diet quality or physical activity through its effects on decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support. However, there was evidence for direct effects of social support for exercise on physical activity and of self-efficacy for sugar-sweetened beverages on diet quality.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Results do not support the hypothesis that the psychosocial constructs decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support were the theoretical mechanisms by which the Delta Body and Soul III intervention influenced changes in diet quality and physical activity.

AB  - An easy and reliable high-throughput analysis method was developed and validated for 192 diverse pesticides and 51 environmental contaminants (13 PCB congeners, 14 PAHs, 7 PBDE congeners, and 17 novel flame retardants) in cattle, swine, and poultry muscle. Sample preparation was based on the “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe” (QuEChERS) approach using filter-vial dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) cleanup. Split final extracts were analyzed in parallel by low-pressure (vacuum outlet) GC-MS/MS and UHPLC-MS/MS (10 min each), providing an additional degree of confirmation for 55 overlapping LC- and GC-amenable pesticides. Analyte protectants were utilized to improve sensitivity and decrease matrix effects in GC analysis, and only filtration of initial extracts was enough to avoid ion suppression in UHPLC-MS/MS. The method was validated at three spiking levels (10, 25, and 100 ng/g) at or below established tolerance levels in the sample types. Satisfactory recoveries (70–120%) and RSDs ≤ 20% were achieved for 200 analytes. The validated method was successfully applied to the analysis of real-world incurred meat samples, further demonstrating the utility of the method for implementation in regulatory and commercial laboratories.

AB  - Background: Sugarcane, a tropical C4 perennial crop, is capable of producing 30–100 tons or more of biomass per hectare annually. The lignocellulosic residue remaining after sugar extraction is currently underutilized and can provide a significant source of biomass for the production of second-generation bioethanol. Results: MYB31 and MYB42 were cloned from maize and expressed in sugarcane with and without the UTR sequences. The cloned sequences were 98 and 99 % identical to the published nucleotide sequences. The inclusion of the UTR sequences did not affect any of the parameters tested. There was little difference in plant height and the number of internodes of the MYB-overexpressing sugarcane plants when compared with controls. MYB transgene expression determined by qPCR exhibited continued expression in young and maturing internodes. MYB31 downregulated more genes within the lignin biosynthetic pathway than MYB42. MYB31 and MYB42 expression resulted in decreased lignin content in some lines. All MYB42 plants further analyzed showed significant increases in glucose release by enzymatic hydrolysis in 72 h, whereas only two MYB31 plants released more glucose than control plants. This correlated directly with a significant decrease in acid-insoluble lignin. Soluble sucrose content of the MYB42 transgenic plants did not vary compared to control plants. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the use of MYB transcription factors to improve the production of bioethanol from sugarcane bagasse remaining after sugar extraction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Seven years after the introduction of genomic selection in the United States, it is now possible to evaluate the impact of this technology on the population. Selection differential(s) (SD) and generation interval(s) (GI) were characterized in a four-path selection model that included sire(s) of bulls (SB), sire(s) of cows (SC), dam(s) of bulls (DB), and dam(s) of cows (DC). Changes in SD over time were estimated for milk, fat, and protein yield; somatic cell score (SCS); productive life (PL); and daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) for the Holstein breed. In the period following implementation of genomic selection, dramatic reductions were seen in GI, especially the SB and SC paths. The SB GI reduced from ~7 y to less than 2.5 y, and the DB GI fell from about 4 y to nearly 2.5 y. SD were relatively stable for yield traits, although modest gains were noted in recent years. The most dramatic response to genomic selection was observed for the lowly heritable traits DPR, PL, and SCS. Genetic trends changed fromclose to zero to large and favorable, resulting in rapid genetic improvement in fertility, lifespan, and health in a breed where these traits eroded over time. These results clearly demonstrate the positive impact of genomic selection in US dairy cattle, even though this technology has only been in use for a short time. Based on the four-path selection model, rates of genetic gain per year increased from ~50-100% for yield traits and from threefold to fourfold for lowly heritable traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Food systems are under increasing pressure to produce sufficient food for the global population, decrease the environmental impacts of production, and buffer against complex global change. Food security also remains elusive for many populations worldwide. Greater emphasis on food system resilience could reduce these vulnerabilities. We outline integrated strategies that together could foster food system resilience across scales, including (a) integrating gender equity and social justice into food security research and initiatives, (b) increasing the use of ecological processes rather than external inputs for crop production, (c) fostering regionalized food distribution networks and waste reduction, and (d) linking human nutrition and agricultural production policies. Enhancing social-ecological links and fostering adaptive capacity are essential to cope with short-term volatility and longer-term global change pressures. Finally, we highlight regional case studies that have enhanced food system resilience for vulnerable populations. Efforts in these areas could have dramatic impacts on global food system resilience.

AB  - Prophage insertions in Escherichia coli O157:H7 mlrA contribute to the low expression of curli fimbriae and biofilm observed in many clinical isolates. Varying levels of CsgD-dependent curli/biofilm expression are restored to strains bearing prophage insertions in mlrA by mutation of regulatory genes affecting csgD. Our previous study identified strong biofilm- and curli-producing variants in O157:H7 cultures that had lost the mlrA-imbedded prophage characteristic of the parent population, suggesting prophage excision as a mechanism for restoring biofilm properties. In this study, we compared genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic properties of parent strain PA20 (stx1, stx2) and its prophage-cured variant, 20R2R (stx2), and confirmed the mechanism underlying the differences in biofilm formation.

AB  - Coupled discrete particle method – computational fluid dynamics simulations are carried out to demonstrate the potential of combined high-G-intensified gas–solids contact, gas–solids separation and segregation in a rotating fluidized bed in a static vortex chamber. A case study with two distinct types of particles is focused on. When feeding solids using a standard solids inlet design, a dense and uniform rotating fluidized bed is formed, guaranteeing intense gas–solids contact. The presence of both types of particles near the chimney region reduces, however, the strength of the central vortex and is detrimental for separation and segregation. Optimization of the solids inlet design is required, as illustrated by stopping the solids feeding. High-G separation and segregation of the batch of particles is demonstrated, as the strength of the central vortex is restored. The flexibility with respect to the gas flow rate of the bed density and uniformity and of the gas–solids separation and segregation is demonstrated, a unique feature of vortex chamber generated rotating fluidized beds. With the particles considered in this case study, turbulent dispersion by large eddies in the gas phase is shown to have only a minor impact on the height of the inner bed of small/light particles.

AB  - Analytical methodology to detect ricin and Shiga toxins (Stx) in food matrices is important for food safety and biosecurity. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind each toxin were used for capture in sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and IgY polyclonal antibodies were prepared as detection antibodies. The ricin assay systems, using colorimetric or chemiluminescent substrates, detected native, but not heat-denatured ricin. The lower limit of detection (LOD) was 0.13 ng mL−1in milk and 0.8 ng g−1in ground beef. The Stx2 assay systems detected native Stx2, but not heat-denatured Stx2 or Stx1. The LOD was 0.13 ng mL−1in milk and 0.7 ng g−1in ground beef. Using a standard 96-well-plate format, the assays can detect less than 1 × 10−4of an estimated lethal oral dose of either toxin in a serving of milk. The IgY detection antibodies for ricin were more heat-stable than mouse polyclonal anti-ricin at 65°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Peridynamics is a nonlocal extension of classical continuum mechanics that is well-suited for solving problems with discontinuities such as cracks. This paper extends the peridynamic formulation to decompose a problem domain into a number of smaller overlapping subdomains and to enable the use of different time steps in different subdomains. This approach allows regions of interest to be isolated and solved at a small time step for increased accuracy while the rest of the problem domain can be solved at a larger time step for greater computational efficiency. Performance of the proposed method in terms of stability, accuracy, and computational cost is examined and several numerical examples are presented to corroborate the findings.

AB  - Plant-sourced carbon has a valuable impact on zero carbon footprint materials for automotive, aerospace, water filtration and other applications. A new lignin, poly-(caffeyl alcohol) (PCFA, also known as C-lignin), has recently been discovered in the seeds of the vanilla orchid ( Vanilla planifolia ). In contrast to all known lignins which are comprised of polyaromatic networks, the PCFA lignin is a linear polymer derived almost totally from caffeyl alcohol monomers linked head to tail into benzodioxane chains via the ‘endwise’ radical coupling reactions that typify lignification. In this paper we investigate carbon fiber formed from this linear C-lignin and compare it to a Kraft lignin. The PCFA was extracted and electrospun into fibers without additional modification or blending of polymers. Nanoindentation shows an increase in transverse and axial modulus for PCFA carbon by around 250% and 25% respectively as compared to Kraft lignin carbon. Raman spectroscopy results indicate higher graphitic structure for PCFA carbon than that from Kraft lignin, as seen from G/D ratios of 1.92 vs 1.15 which was supported by XPS and TEM results. Size exclusion chromatography indicates a polydispersity index (PDI) for PCFA of 1.6 as compared to 2.6 for Kraft lignin and Zeta potential measurements show higher ionic conductivity for Kraft lignin as compared to PCFA reflecting higher impurities. The results indicate a new bio-source for carbon fibers based on this newly identified linear lignin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is an important legume, and the antioxidant content in cowpea seeds has been recognized as a health-promoting compound for humans. The objectives of this study were to analyze the population structure of cowpea collections and to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with the seed antioxidant content and seed coat colour. A set of 1047 SNPs were used to analyze a 369 cowpea core collection from 47 countries. Results indicated that: (1) there were three clusters in the 369 entries; and the germplasm collected from India, South Africa, and the US showed broader genetic diversity; (2) Scaffold7139_14363 and Scaffold29110_4657 were strongly associated with antioxidant content, and C35063613_1497, Scaffold81493_886, and Scaffold84620_6785 were strongly associated with seed coat colour across three models; (3) significant correlations were detected between the seed antioxidant content and black seed colour ( r = 0.45) and between seed antioxidant content and red seed coat colour ( r = 0.50); and (4) Scaffold42008_191 and C35082838_2258 were associated with both seed antioxidant content and seed coat colour. The SNP markers identified could potentially be used in marker-assisted breeding to accelerate genetic improvement of cowpea for higher seed antioxidant content. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La dolique ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) est une importante légumineuse et les antioxydants qu'elle renferme ont été reconnus comme promoteur de la santé chez l'humain. Cette étude devait analyser la distribution de la population de doliques dans diverses collections et identifier les marqueurs du polymorphisme mononucléotidique (SNP) associés à la teneur des graines en antioxydants et à la couleur des téguments. En tout, 1 047 SNP ont servi à analyser 369 spécimens de doliques venant de 47 pays. Les résultats indiquent (1) que les 369 spécimens se répartissent en trois groupes et que le matériel génétique d'Inde, d'Afrique du Sud et des É.-U. est le plus diversifié, (2) que les SNP Scaffold7139_14363 et Scaffold29110_4657 sont étroitement associés à la concentration d'antioxydants alors que les SNP C35063613_1497, Scaffold81493_886 et Scaffold84620_6785 sont fortement liés à la couleur des téguments dans les trois groupes, (3) qu'il existe d'importantes corrélations entre la teneur en antioxydants de la graine et les graines de couleur noire (r = 0,45) ainsi que les téguments de couleur rouge (r = 0,50) et (4) que les SNP Scaffold42008_191 et C35082838_2258 sont associés à la concentration d'antioxydants dans la graine et à la couleur des téguments. Les marqueurs SNP identifiés pourraient faciliter l'hybridation et accélérer l'amélioration génétique de la dolique en vue d'augmenter la concentration d'antioxydants dans la graine.

AB  - There is limited information on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in North American wildlife and none concerning pronghorn ( Antilocapra americana). In an experimental study of 13 pronghorn and six steers ( Bos taurus), we compared the susceptibility of pronghorn to FMD virus (FMDV) strain O, with that of cattle ( Bos taurus). We also determined the potential for intra- and interspecies transmission of FMDV strain O in pronghorn and cattle, assessed the application of conventional laboratory tests in their suitability to detect FMDV infection in pronghorn, and evaluated the potential role of pronghorn as efficient long-term carriers of FMDV. After acclimation to containment at Plum Island Animal Disease Center, two pronghorn and one steer were each infected by intraepithelial tongue inoculation with 10,000 bovine tongue infective doses of FMDV, strain O1 Manisa. Inoculated animals were housed with contact animals. When contact-exposed animals developed fever they were placed in rooms with previously unexposed animals. All inoculated and exposed cattle and pronghorn developed clinical disease typical of FMD. Pronghorn developed severe foot lesions and mild to moderate oral lesions, primarily on the tongue. Duration of clinical signs in both species was 2-3 wk with foot abnormalities evident to the end of the study (51 d postexposure). Other lesions included pancreatitis, myositis of the tongue, and secondary lesions including pleuritis, pneumonia, decubital ulcers, and tenosynovitis. Virus transmission occurred between pronghorn, from cattle to pronghorn, and from pronghorn to cattle. Conventional laboratory tests detected virus and antibodies against nonstructural and structural FMDV proteins in pronghorn and cattle. Virus was present in some animals for 1 wk but was not detectable by virus isolation or PCR at 3 wk postinfection or afterward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phragmites australis is a common wetland plant species worldwide and best known in North America as a persistent invasive species. Only in recent decades was a native lineage, Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, confirmed in North American wetlands. This study investigated whether the two lineages support unique microbial communities in the rhizosphere. Paired stands of the native and invasive lineages were sampled at four locations across a Chesapeake Bay subestuary to assess differences in soil chemical parameters and the microbial community. Microbial characterization included quantification of genes coding for bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA, archaeal ammonia-monooxygenase, methane co-enzyme A, and particulate methane-monooxygenase. These gene targets helped quantify bacterial biomass, archaeal biomass, ammonia-oxidizers, methanogens, and methane oxidizers, respectively. Bacterial and archaeal community composition was determined by creating terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles of the 16S rRNA, and bacterial and fungal composition was assessed using phospholipid fatty acid profiles. Bacterial biomass and composition did not differ between the two lineages, but significant differences were observed in archaeal community composition. There were significantly more copies of archaeal 16S rRNA genes in invasive (1.8 × 10 g soil) compared to native (7.2 × 10 g soil) lineages ( P = 0.04) and composition profiles were significantly different according to PerMANOVA ( P = 0.006). Phospholipid fatty acid profiles also differed between invasive and native lineages ( P = 0.023). These findings support other studies that have noted the ability of native and invasive Phragmites to differentially affect soil biogeochemistry and suggest that archaea in the rhizosphere of wetland plants may be more sensitive to plant variation than bacteria.

AB  - Main conclusion : Xylans in the cell walls of monocots are structurally diverse. Arabinofuranose-containing glucuronoxylans are characteristic of commelinids. However, other structural features are not correlated with the major transitions in monocot evolution. Most studies of xylan structure in monocot cell walls have emphasized members of the Poaceae (grasses). Thus, there is a paucity of information regarding xylan structure in other commelinid and in non-commelinid monocot walls. Here, we describe the major structural features of the xylans produced by plants selected from ten of the twelve monocot orders. Glucuronoxylans comparable to eudicot secondary wall glucuronoxylans are abundant in non-commelinid walls. However, the α- d-glucuronic acid/4- O-methyl-α- d-glucuronic acid is often substituted at O-2 by an α- l-arabinopyranose residue in Alismatales and Asparagales glucuronoxylans. Glucuronoarabinoxylans were the only xylans detected in the cell walls of five different members of the Poaceae family (grasses). By contrast, both glucuronoxylan and glucuronoarabinoxylan are formed by the Zingiberales and Commelinales (commelinids). At least one species of each monocot order, including the Poales, forms xylan with the reducing end sequence -4)-β- d-Xyl p-(1,3)-α- l-Rha p-(1,2)-α- d-Gal pA-(1,4)- d-Xyl first identified in eudicot and gymnosperm glucuronoxylans. This sequence was not discernible in the arabinopyranose-containing glucuronoxylans of the Alismatales and Asparagales or the glucuronoarabinoxylans of the Poaceae. Rather, our data provide additional evidence that in Poaceae glucuronoarabinoxylan, the reducing end xylose residue is often substituted at O-2 with 4- O-methyl glucuronic acid or at O-3 with arabinofuranose. The variations in xylan structure and their implications for the evolution and biosynthesis of monocot cell walls are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Gardner’s saltbush ecosystems are increasingly being invaded by halogeton ( Halogeton glomeratus [M. Bieb.] C.A. Mey.), an annual halophyte that increases soil surface salinity and reduces plant biodiversity. Thus, a study was established in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area within the lower Green River Basin of Wyoming to evaluate the potential for rehabilitating halogeton-dominated Gardner’s saltbush ecosystems with forage kochia ( Bassia prostrata [L.] A.J. Scott), Russian wildrye ( Psathyrostachys juncea [Fisch.] Nevski), tall wheatgrass ( Thinopyrum ponticum [Podp.] Z.-W. Liu & R.-C. Wang), Indian ricegrass ( Achnatherum hymenoides [Roem. & Schult.] Barkworth), and Gardner’s saltbush ( Atriplex garneri [Moq.] D. Dietr.). A seeding evaluation, with and without prior disking, was conducted to determine ability of these species to establish. A transplant evaluation determined the effect of established plants on halogeton frequency at four 10-cm intervals (10–20, 20–30, 30–40, and 40–50 cm) distal from transplants. Gardner’s saltbush, tall wheatgrass, and Indian ricegrass did not establish in the seeded study or persist beyond the first year in transplant study. In contrast, Russian wildrye and forage kochia established and persisted, with Russian wildrye establishment higher ( P = 0.05) in the disked treatment compared with no-till (4.5 and 1.7 plants m − 2 , respectively) and no-till favoring ( P = 0.05) forage kochia establishment (2.3 and 0.8 plants m − 2 , respectively). Transplants of these two species reduced halogeton frequency by 52% relative to the control. Moreover, this interference of halogeton establishment by Russian wildrye and forage kochia had extended to 50 cm distal from transplant by the second year of the study. By the third year (2014), transplant survival and halogeton frequency were highly correlated ( r = − 0.61, P = 0.0001), indicating the importance of plant persistence. Results indicate that Russian wildrye and forage kochia can establish and reduce halogeton frequency, thereby providing an opportunity for rehabilitation of halogeton-invaded areas.

AB  - We determined the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) video monitoring to predict intake of discrete food items of rangeland-raised Raramuri Criollo non-nursing beef cows. Thirty-five cows were released into a 405-m 2 rectangular dry lot, either in pairs (pilot tests) or individually (experiment tests), that contained 12 food bowls arranged in an open semicircle and placed approximately 1 m apart. Four bowls containing either long alfalfa hay (AH, 200 g), long Sudangrass hay (SH, 200 g), or cottonseed cake (CC, 50 g) were alternated (CC, AH, SH) using the same sequence in all tests. Video footage of all arena tests was acquired with a three-dimensional Robotics Y6 Multi-copter fitted with a two-axis brushless gimbal and a GoPro Hero 3 Silver Digital Camera. Video files were processed to extract a total of 4 893 two-second-interval still images that were viewed to determine cow feeding activity. Cows that were naïve to the sound of the UAV fed as frequently ( P > 0.05) as their adapted counterparts during 12-min pilot tests. Significant positive correlations ( r = 0.68 − 0.91; P < 0.05) between video-derived feeding frequency estimates and amount of AH, SH, and CC consumed per bowl were observed during the individual 4-min experiment tests. Our results suggest that UAV video monitoring could be a useful tool to monitor feeding behavior of rangeland cows. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives of postfire seeding in the Great Basin include reestablishment of perennial cover, suppression of exotic annual weeds, and restoration of diverse plant communities. Nonconventional seeding techniques may be required when seeding mixes of grasses, forbs, and shrubs containing seeds of different sizes. We conducted an operational-scale experiment to test the effectiveness of two rangeland drills (conventional and minimum-till) for seeding native plant mixes following wildfire in Wyoming big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) communities. Both drills were configured to place small and large seeds in alternate rows. We hypothesized that the minimum-till drill’s advanced features would improve establishment compared with the conventional drill. We also hypothesized that the minimum-till drill would cause less damage to residual perennials, whereas the conventional drill would have a greater impact on annual weeds. The experiment was replicated at three burned sites and monitored for 2 yr at each site. Seeded plant establishment was lowest at a low-precipitation site that became dominated by exotic annuals. Another site had high perennial grass establishment, which effectively suppressed exotic annuals, while a third site attained high diversity of seeded species and life forms but became invaded by exotic annuals in plant interspaces. Small-seeded species generally established better with the minimum-till drill equipped with imprinter wheels than the conventional drill with drag-chains. However, large-seeded species frequently established better with the conventional drill despite its lack of depth bands and press wheels. Soil disturbance associated with the conventional drill had a negative effect on residual perennials and exotic annuals at some sites. Results indicate that different drill features are advantageous in different ways, but that either of the tested drills, if properly used, can be effective for seeding native plant mixes provided site conditions are otherwise favorable for seedling establishment.

AB  - Understanding the influence of grazing management and environmental drivers on net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 (NEE) is essential for optimizing carbon (C) uptake in rangelands. Herein, using 15 treatment-years (two 3-yr experiments, one with three grazing treatments, the other two) and Bowen ratio flux towers, we evaluated the influence of grazing intensity, soil water content (SWC), and plant cover (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI) on NEE in Colorado shortgrass steppe. Among several soil water and plant cover traits evaluated over 6-yr, early season (April, DOY 91–120) SWC and early season (DOY 130) NDVI were most highly correlated with NEE (− 0.96 and − 0.98, respectively) during the second quarter (April to June) of the year and also over the entire growing season (April to September; − 0.97 and − 0.96). Due to the strong effect of early-season SWC, an average of 166 g m − 2 CO 2 were lost in 2 yr with dry spring weather, compared with an average annual uptake of 218 g m − 2 CO 2 in 4 yr with more abundant early-season precipitation and plant cover. Grazing effects on NEE were also apparent. In one experiment, moderate grazing resulted in annual CO 2 uptake of 267 g m − 2 CO 2 over 3 yr compared with essentially zero NEE in heavily grazed pasture. However, that treatment difference in annual NEE was only half that experienced between dry and wet years. Similar trends were observed in a second experiment, although results were insignificant. Results suggest that the recommended moderate grazing intensity for the Colorado shortgrass steppe is near optimal for CO 2 uptake under season-long continuous grazing, with annual climatic variability sometimes being more influential. To enhance C sequestration in the western Great Plains of North America, grazing management strategies should emphasize flexible and adaptive practices that consider early-season SWC and promote vegetation cover during the key early spring growth period.

AB  - Crested wheatgrass ( Agropyron cristatum [L] Gaertm. and Agropyron desertorum [Fisch.] Schult.) has been seeded across millions of hectares of the sagebrush steppe and is often associated with native species displacement and low biological diversity. However, native vegetation composition of these seedings can be variable. To gain better understanding of the correlation between vegetation characteristics of crested wheatgrass seedings and their seeding history and management, we evaluated 121 crested wheatgrass seedings across a 54 230-km2 area in southeastern Oregon. Higher precipitation in the year following seeding of crested wheatgrass has long-term, negative effects on Wyoming big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) cover and density. Wyoming big sagebrush cover and density were positively correlated with age of seeding and time since fire. We also found that preseeding disturbance (burned, scarified, plowed, or herbicide) appears to have legacy effects on plant community characteristics. For example, herbicide-treated sites had significantly fewer shrubs than sites that were burned or scarified preseeding. Native vegetation cover and density were greater in grazed compared with ungrazed crested wheatgrass stands. The results of this study suggest a number of factors influence native vegetation cover and density within stands of seeded crested wheatgrass. Though disturbance history and precipitation following seeding can't be modified, management actions may affect the cover and abundance of native vegetation in crested wheatgrass stands. Notably, grazing may reduce monoculture characteristics of crested wheatgrass stands and fire exclusion may promote sagebrush and perennial forbs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Natural Resource Conservation Service Range Planting - Conservation Practice Standards provide guidelines for making decisions about seedbed preparation, planting methods, plant materials selection, seeding rate, seeding depth, timing of seeding, postplanting management, and weed control. Adoption of these standards is expected to contribute to successful improvement of vegetation composition and productivity of grazed plant communities. Also expected are some specific conservation effects, such as improved forage for livestock; improved forage, browse, or cover for wildlife; improved water quality and quantity; reduced wind or water erosion; and increased carbon sequestration. The success of specific conservation practices and the magnitude of conservation effects are highly dependent on ecological-site characteristics, the initial degree of deviation from desired site characteristics, and weather, all of which are highly variable in both time and space. Previous research has produced few studies directly linking range planting conservation practices to conservation effects. Assessment of conservation effects attributed to rangeland planting practices must, therefore, be separated into two components: 1) evidence of the degree to which specific management practices have been shown to result in desirable vegetation change and 2) evidence supporting positive conservation effects of alternative vegetation states. The aggregate literature generally supports both 1) the existing conservation practice recommendations for rangeland seeding and 2) the inherent assumption that if these practices are successful, they will result in beneficial conservation effects. High spatial and temporal variability in these systems, however, may limit the success of generic or prescriptive management practices. Current conservation practice recommendations could be improved by incorporating more direct linkages to the ecologically based technical literature, more up-to-date information on adaptive management strategies in highly variable rangeland systems, and integration of monitoring strategies designed to directly test the efficacy of specific conservation practices.

AB  - Using filter paper to collect blood from wildlife for antibody analysis can be a powerful technique to simplify the collection, transport, and storage of blood samples. Despite these advantages, there are limited data that detail how long these samples can be stored and how storage conditions affect antibody longevity. We used blood samples collected on filter paper from coyotes experimentally infected with Yersinia pestis to determine optimum sample storage conditions over time. Blood samples collected on filter paper were stored for 454 d or more in four groups: 1) at ambient temperature and at ambient relative humidity, 2) at ambient temperature with desiccant, 3) at 4 C with desiccant, and 4) at −20 C with desiccant. Samples stored at 4 C or −20 C with desiccant had detectable antibody for a longer period of time than the samples stored at room temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Raptors are good indicators of the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in the environment because they prey on small mammals and birds. These prey species are a major source of infection in domestic cats ( Felis catus), which shed the environmentally resistant oocysts. We assessed T. gondii infection in 281 opportunistically available raptors at a rehabilitation facility between 2012 and 2014. Antibodies to T. gondii were assayed by a modified agglutination test (cutoff 1:25) and found in serum of 22/71 Red-tailed Hawks ( Buteo jamaicensis), 25/54 Barred Owls ( Strix varia), 9/41 Red-shouldered Hawks ( Buteo lineatus), 13/28 Great Horned Owls ( Bubo virginianus), 6/20 Broad-winged Hawks ( Buteo platypterus), 2/16 Eastern Screech Owls ( Megascops asio), 12/13 Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus), 6/12 Cooper's Hawks ( Accipiter cooperii), 1/8 Black Vultures ( Coragyps atratus), and 1/1 Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos). Antibodies were not detected in 5 Barn Owls ( Tyto alba), 3 American Kestrels ( Falco sparverius), 1 Mississippi Kite ( Ictinia mississippiensis), and 1 Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus). Viable T. gondii was isolated from the tissues of 1 antibody-positive Barred Owl and identified as a strain having type II alleles at all 10 loci tested, except one (ToxoDB polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism genotype 3). Type II strain is the most common strain in the US. Results of this study indicate a high prevalence of T. gondii in some raptor species and the first reported genotyping from a Barred Owl.

AB  - In the US, sampling for avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 (APMV-1) is generally conducted when morbidity or mortality events occur involving certain families of wild birds known to be affected by the virus, such as cormorants (Family Phalacrocoracidae), pigeons, doves (Family Columbidae), or pelicans (Family Pelecanidae). To quantify the prevalence of APMV-1 in apparently healthy wild birds and to determine its geographic distribution, we collected swab and serum samples from >3,500 wild birds, representing eight orders from 1 January 2013 to 30 September 2013. Antibody prevalence was highest in wild birds of Order Suliformes (44.9%), followed by Pelecaniformes (24.4%), Anseriformes (22.7%), and Columbiformes (11.7%), with a relatively high occurrence of virulent viruses in Columbiformes (100% of virulent viruses isolated). As expected, viral shedding was comparatively much lower, and positives were only identified in Orders Accipitriformes (1.4%), Columbiformes (1.0%), Anseriformes (0.8%), and Charadriiformes (0.4%). We also demonstrate circulating virulent APMV-1 viruses of genotype VI in apparently healthy Rock Pigeons ( Columba livia) from March through September in three states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - New studies on the development of low-temperature extruded value-added nutritional foods containing corn meal and whey protein isolate have been reported. However, information on the effect of extrusion treatment parameters on microbial safety of foods below 100°C is limited. In this study, we investigated the effect of extrusion treatments at 35°C, 55°C, 75°C, and 95°C on reduction of E. coli cell populations inoculated onto corn meal (CM) and whey protein concentrate (WPC80) at 8.8 log10 CFU/g. Inactivation of E. coli bacteria on CM and WPC80 extruded at 35 and 55°C averaged 4.8 log, 6.9 log and 1.8 log, 4.3 log, respectively. Extrusion treatment at 75°C and above reduced E. coli (ATCC-25922) cells on CM to below detection (&lt;20 CFU/g); but treatment at 95°C was needed to achieve a similar below detection (&lt;20 CFU/g) for WPC80. The results of this study suggest that corn meal products extruded at 75°C or above, and whey protein isolate extruded at 95°C, will enhance the microbiological safety of the extrudates.

N2  - Background: Breaking periods of sitting with standing may prevent chronic diseases and increase energy expenditure (EE). Sit-to-stand height adjustable desks may promote workplace standing, but workers have to be willing to stand for portions of the workday. Methods: For studies 1 and 2, EE was measured during word processing while sitting in a chair and while standing. Subjects scored their liking of each posture and time they would be willing to work in each posture during an 8-hour workday. Study 2 included an intervention of replacing subjects' sitting desks with a height adjustable desk. Liking of and willingness to work in each posture were measured before and after the 12-month intervention. Results: EE was 7.5 kcal/h greater when standing than when sitting. Subjects liked sitting more than standing in study 1. In study 2, liking of postures did not differ or change across 12 months use of height adjustable desks. Perceived willingness to stand decreased from 4.5 h/d at baseline to 3.4 h/d after 12 months. Conclusions: Standing rather than sitting increased EE by 7.5 kcal/h. Use of a height adjustable desk for 12 months did not alter the hedonic value of standing or sitting, which is promising for long-term increases in standing. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Objectives: This study evaluates whether certain patient or parental characteristics are associated with gastroenterology (GI) referral versus primary pediatrics care for pediatric irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Methods: A retrospective clinical trial sample of patients meeting pediatric Rome III IBS criteria was assembled from a single metropolitan health care system. Baseline socioeconomic status (SES) and clinical symptom measures were gathered. Various instruments measured participant and parental psychosocial traits. Study outcomes were stratified by GI referral versus primary pediatrics care. Two separate analyses of SES measures and GI clinical symptoms and psychosocial measures identified key factors by univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. For each analysis, identified factors were placed in unadjusted and adjusted multivariate logistic regression models to assess their impact in predicting GI referral.Results: Of the 239 participants, 152 were referred to pediatric GI, and 87 were managed in primary pediatrics care. Of the SES and clinical symptom factors, child self-assessment of abdominal pain duration and lower percentage of people living in poverty were the strongest predictors of GI referral. Among the psychosocial measures, parental assessment of their child's functional disability was the sole predictor of GI referral. In multivariate logistic regression models, all selected factors continued to predict GI referral in each model.Conclusions: Socioeconomic environment, clinical symptoms, and functional disability are associated with GI referral. Future interventions designed to ameliorate the effect of these identified factors could reduce unnecessary specialty consultations and health care overutilization for IBS.

AB  - On cropland, ephemeral gully erosion in the USA may contribute up to 40% of the sediment delivered to the edge of the field. Well-tested, physically- and process-based tools for field and watershed scale prediction of gully erosion are lacking due to the fact that the complex nature of migrating headcuts is poorly understood. Understanding sediment transport capacity downstream of migrating headcuts is essential, as sediment deposition often leads to temporary storage that controls downstream water elevation, which in turn affects the rate of headcut migration. Current process-based gully erosion prediction technology used by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is based on characterizing the headcut migration rate, which requires the deposition depth as input to the model. Alternatively, the deposition depth can be calculated if downstream sediment transport capacity can be predicted. Data collected at the ARSNational Sedimentation Laboratory were used to test existing sediment transport relationships for the five sediment size classes (clay, silt, sand, small aggregates, large aggregates) typically used in ARS soil erosion models. The results show that the transport rate can be satisfactorily predicted for sand and large aggregate size fractions using common transport relationships based on unit stream power theory. The fractional content of the sand and large aggregate size classes can be computed using standard relationships, which are based on soil texture, previously developed by ARS. The transport of clays, silts and small aggregates is detachment limited and must therefore be computed using improved soil detachment relationships for ephemeral gullies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Cost effective next generation sequencing technologies now enable the production of genomic datasets for many novel planktonic eukaryotes, representing an understudied reservoir of genetic diversity. O. tauri is the smallest free-living photosynthetic eukaryote known to date, a coccoid green alga that was first isolated in 1995 in a lagoon by the Mediterranean sea. Its simple features, ease of culture and the sequencing of its 13 Mb haploid nuclear genome have promoted this microalga as a new model organism for cell biology. Here, we investigated the quality of genome assemblies of Illumina GAIIx 75 bp paired-end reads from Ostreococcus tauri, thereby also improving the existing assembly and showing the genome to be stably maintained in culture. Results: The 3 assemblers used, ABySS, CLCBio and Velvet, produced 95% complete genomes in 1402 to 2080 scaffolds with a very low rate of misassembly. Reciprocally, these assemblies improved the original genome assembly by filling in 930 gaps. Combined with additional analysis of raw reads and PCR sequencing effort, 1194 gaps have been solved in total adding up to 460 kb of sequence. Mapping of RNAseq Illumina data on this updated genome led to a twofold reduction in the proportion of multi-exon protein coding genes, representing 19% of the total 7699 protein coding genes. The comparison of the DNA extracted in 2001 and 2009 revealed the fixation of 8 single nucleotide substitutions and 2 deletions during the approximately 6000 generations in the lab. The deletions either knocked out or truncated two predicted transmembrane proteins, including a glutamate-receptor like gene. Conclusion: High coverage (>80 fold) paired-end Illumina sequencing enables a high quality 95% complete genome assembly of a compact ~13 Mb haploid eukaryote. This genome sequence has remained stable for 6000 generations of lab culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Peanut is one of the major source for human consumption worldwide and its seed contain approximately 50% oil. Improvement of oil content and quality traits (high oleic and low linoleic acid) in peanut could be accelerated by exploiting linked markers through molecular breeding. The objective of this study was to identify QTLs associated with oil content, and estimate relative contribution of FAD2 genes (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) to oil quality traits in two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. Results: Improved genetic linkage maps were developed for S-population (SunOleic 97R x NC94022) with 206 (1780.6 cM) and T-population (Tifrunner x GT-C20) with 378 (2487.4 cM) marker loci. A total of 6 and 9 QTLs controlling oil content were identified in the S- and Tpopulation, respectively. The contribution of each QTL towards oil content variation ranged from 3.07 to 10.23% in the S-population and from 3.93 to 14.07% in the T-population. The mapping positions for ahFAD2A (A sub-genome) and ahFAD2B (B sub-genome) genes were assigned on a09 and b09 linkage groups. The ahFAD2B gene (26.54%, 25.59% and 41.02% PVE) had higher phenotypic effect on oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2), and oleic/linoleic acid ratio (O/L ratio) than ahFAD2A gene (8.08%, 6.86% and 3.78% PVE). The FAD2 genes had no effect on oil content. This study identified a total of 78 main-effect QTLs (M-QTLs) with up to 42.33% phenotypic variation (PVE) and 10 epistatic QTLs (E-QTLs) up to 3.31% PVE for oil content and quality traits. Conclusions: A total of 78 main-effect QTLs (M-QTLs) and 10 E-QTLs have been detected for oil content and oil quality traits. One major QTL (more than 10% PVE) was identified in both the populations for oil content with source alleles from NC94022 and GT-C20 parental genotypes. FAD2 genes showed high effect for oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2), and O/L ratio while no effect on total oil content. The information on phenotypic effect of FAD2 genes for oleic acid, linoleic acid and O/L ratio, and oil content will be applied in breeding selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is the seventh most important food crop due to its distinct advantages, such as adaptability to different environmental conditions and high nutritional value. Assessing the genetic diversity of this important crop is necessary due to the constant increase of demand for food and the need for conservation of agricultural and genetic resources. In Puerto Rico (PR), the genetic diversity of sweet potato has been poorly understood, although it has been part of the diet since Pre-Columbus time. Thus, 137 landraces from different localities around PR were collected and subjected to a genetic diversity analysis using 23 SSR-markers. In addition, 8 accessions from a collection grown in Gurabo, PR at the Agricultural Experimental Station (GAES), 10 US commercial cultivars and 12 Puerto Rican accessions from the USDA repository collection were included in this assessment. The results of the analysis of the 23 loci showed 255 alleles in the 167 samples. Observed heterozygosity was high across populations (0.71) while measurements of total heterozygosity revealed a large genetic diversity throughout the population and within populations. UPGMA clustering method revealed two main clusters. Cluster 1 contained 12 PR accessions from the USDA repository collection, while cluster 2 consisted of PR landraces, US commercial cultivars and the PR accessions from GAES. Population structure analysis grouped PR landraces in five groups including four US commercial cultivars. Our study shows the presence of a high level of genetic diversity of sweet potato across PR which can be related to the genetic makeup of sweet potato, human intervention and out-crossing nature of the plant. The history of domestication and dispersal of sweet potato in the Caribbean and the high levels of genetic diversity found through this study makes sweet potato an invaluable resource that needs to be protected and further studied.

AB  - Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, is one of the most destructive diseases of citrus worldwide. HLB is associated with three species of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ with ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ (Las) being the most widely distributed around the world, and the only species detected in Thailand. To understand the genetic diversity of Las bacteria in Thailand, we evaluated two closely-related effector genes, lasAI and lasAII, found within the Las prophages from 239 infected citrus and 55 infected psyllid samples collected from different provinces in Thailand. The results indicated that most of the Las-infected samples collected from Thailand contained at least one prophage sequence with 48.29% containing prophage 1 (FP1), 63.26% containing prophage 2 (FP2), and 19.38% containing both prophages. Interestingly, FP2 was found to be the predominant population in Las-infected citrus samples while Las-infected psyllids contained primarily FP1. The multiple banding patterns that resulted from amplification of lasAI imply extensive variation exists within the full and partial repeat sequence while the single band from lasAII indicates a low amount of variation within the repeat sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of Las-infected samples from 22 provinces in Thailand suggested that the bacterial pathogen may have been introduced to Thailand from China and the Philippines. This is the first report evaluating the genetic variation of a large population of Ca. L. asiaticus infected samples in Thailand using the two effector genes from Las prophage regions.

AB  - Background We examined the degree of postprandial triglyceride ( TG) response over the day, representing a highly dynamic state, with continuous metabolic adaptations, among normal-weight, overweight and obese patients, according to their metabolically healthy or abnormal status. Materials and methods A total of 1002 patients from the CORDIOPREV clinical trial ( NCT00924937) were submitted to an oral fat load test meal with 0·7 g fat/kg body weight (12% saturated fatty acids ( SFA), 10% polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFA), 43% monounsaturated fatty acids ( MUFA), 10% protein and 25% carbohydrates). Serial blood test analysing lipid fractions and inflammation markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs- CRP)) were drawn at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h during postprandial state. We explored the dynamic response according to six body size phenotypes: (i) normal weight, metabolically healthy; (ii) normal weight, metabolically abnormal; (iii) overweight, metabolically healthy; (iv) overweight, metabolically abnormal; (v) obese, metabolically healthy; and (vi) obese, metabolically abnormal. Results Metabolically healthy patients displayed lower postprandial response of plasma TG and large triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins ( TRLs)- TG, compared with those metabolically abnormal, independently whether or not they were obese ( P < 0·001 and P < 0·001, respectively). Moreover, the area under the curve ( AUC) of TG and AUC of large TRLs- TG were greater in the group of metabolically abnormal compared with the group of metabolically healthy ( P < 0·001 and P < 0·001, respectively). Interestingly, metabolically abnormal subjects displayed higher postprandial response of plasma hs- CRP than did the subgroup of normal, overweight and obese, metabolically healthy patients ( P < 0·001). Conclusions Our findings showed that certain types of the metabolic phenotypes of obesity are more favourable modulating phenotypic flexibility after a dynamic fat load test, through TG metabolism and inflammation homoeostasis. To identify, these phenotypes may be the best strategy for personalized treatment of obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Postharvest ripening of apple (Malus x domestica) can be slowed down by low temperatures, and a combination of low O2 and high CO2 levels. While this maintains the quality of most fruit, occasionally storage disorders such as flesh browning can occur. This study aimed to explore changes in the apple transcriptome associated with a flesh browning disorder related to controlled atmosphere storage using RNA-sequencing techniques. Samples from a browning-susceptible cultivar (‘Braeburn’) were stored for four months under controlled atmosphere. Based on a visual browning index, the inner and outer cortex of the stored apples was classified as healthy or affected tissue. Results: Over 600 million short single-end reads were mapped onto the Malus consensus coding sequence set, and differences in the expression profiles between healthy and affected tissues were assessed to identify candidate genes associated with internal browning in a tissue-specific manner. Genes involved in lipid metabolism, secondary metabolism, and cell wall modifications were highly modified in the affected inner cortex, while energy-related and stress-related genes were mostly altered in the outer cortex. The expression levels of several of them were confirmed using qRT-PCR. Additionally, a set of novel browning-specific differentially expressed genes, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase, was validated in apples stored for various periods at different controlled atmosphere conditions, giving rise to potential biomarkers associated with high risk of browning development. Conclusions: The gene expression data presented in this study will help elucidate the molecular mechanism of browning development in apples at controlled atmosphere storage. A conceptual model, including energy-related (linked to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain) and lipid-related genes (related to membrane alterations, and fatty acid oxidation), for browning development in apple is proposed, which may be relevant for future studies towards improving the postharvest life of apple.

AB  - The histories of crop domestication and breeding are recorded in genomes. Although tomato is a model species for plant biology and breeding, the nature of human selection that altered its genome remains largely unknown. Here we report a comprehensive analysis of tomato evolution based on the genome sequences of 360 accessions. We provide evidence that domestication and improvement focused on two independent sets of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), resulting in modern tomato fruit ∼100 times larger than its ancestor. Furthermore, we discovered a major genomic signature for modern processing tomatoes, identified the causative variants that confer pink fruit color and precisely visualized the linkage drag associated with wild introgressions. This study outlines the accomplishments as well as the costs of historical selection and provides molecular insights toward further improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study examined absence rates among US Department of Energy workers who had beryllium sensitization (BeS) or were diagnosed with chronic beryllium disease (CBD) compared with those of other workers. Methods. We used the lymphocyte proliferation test to determine beryllium sensitivity. In addition, we applied multivariable logistic regression to compare absences from 2002 to 2011 between workers with BeS or CBD to those without, and survival analysis to compare time to first absence by beryllium sensitization status. Finally, we examined beryllium status by occupational group. Results. Fewer than 3% of the 19 305 workers were BeS, and workers with BeS or CBD had more total absences (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18, 1.46) and respiratory absences (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.84) than did other workers. Time to first absence for all causes and for respiratory conditions occurred earlier for workers with BeS or CBD than for other workers. Line operators and crafts personnel were at increased risk for BeS or CBD. Conclusions. Although not considered “diseased,” workers with BeS have higher absenteeism compared with nonsensitized workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A principal challenge of federal forest management has been maintaining and improving habitat for sensitive species in forests adapted to frequent, low- to moderate-intensity fire regimes that have become increasingly vulnerable to uncharacteristically severe wildfires. To enhance forest resilience, a coordinated landscape fuel network was installed in the northern Sierra Nevada, which reduced the potential for hazardous fire, despite constraints for wildlife protection that limited the extent and intensity of treatments. Small mammal and songbird communities were largely unaffected by this landscape strategy, but the number of California spotted owl territories declined. The effects on owls could have been mitigated by increasing the spatial heterogeneity of fuel treatments and by using more prescribed fire or managed wildfire to better mimic historic vegetation patterns and processes. More landscape-scale experimentation with strategies that conserve key wildlife species while also improving forest resiliency is needed, especially in response to continued warming climates.

AB  - Background:  Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is one of the best known TLR members expressed on the surface of several leukocytes and tissue cells and has a key function in detecting pathogen and danger-associated molecular patterns. The role of TLR4 in the pathophysiology of several age-related diseases is also well recognized, such as prostate cancer (PCa). TLR4 polymorphisms have been related to PCa risk, but the relationship between TLR4 genotypes and aggressive PCa risk has not been evaluated by any systematic reviews. Methods:  We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of candidate-gene and genome-wide association studies analyzing this relationship and included only white population. Considering appropriate criteria, only nine studies were analyzed in the meta-analysis, including 3,937 aggressive PCa and 7,382 controls. Results:  Using random effects model, no significant association was found in the ten TLR4 SNPs reported by at least four included studies under any inheritance model (rs2737191, rs1927914, rs10759932, rs1927911, rs11536879, rs2149356, rs4986790, rs11536889, rs7873784, and rs1554973). Pooled estimates from another ten TLR4 SNPs reported by three studies also showed no significant association (rs10759930, rs10116253, rs11536869, rs5030717, rs4986791, rs11536897, rs1927906, rs913930, rs1927905, and rs7045953). Meta-regression revealed that study type was not a significant source of between-study heterogeneity. Conclusions:  TLR4 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with the risk of aggressive PCa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Light limitation caused by dense vegetation is one of the greatest threats to plant survival in natural environments. Plants detect such neighboring vegetation as a reduction in the red to far-red ratio (R:FR) of the incoming light. The low R:FR signal, perceived by phytochromes, initiates a set of responses collectively known as the shade avoidance syndrome, intended to reduce the degree of current or future shade from neighbors by overtopping such competitors or inducing flowering to ensure seed production. At the seedling stage these responses include increased hypocotyl elongation. We have systematically analyzed the Arabidopsis seedling response and the contribution of phyA and phyB to perception of decreased R:FR, at three different levels of photosynthetically active radiation. Our results show that the shade avoidance syndrome, induced by phyB deactivation, is gradually antagonized by phyA, operating through the so-called FR-High Irradiance Response, in response to high FR levels in a range that simulates plant canopy shade. The data indicate that the R:FR signal distinguishes between the presence of proximal, but non-shading, neighbors and direct foliar shade, via a intrafamily photosensory attenuation mechanism that acts to suppress excessive reversion toward skotomorphogenic development under prolonged direct vegetation shade.

AB  - An intricate history of human dispersal and geographic colonization has strongly affected the distribution of human pathogens. The pig tapeworm Taenia solium occurs throughout the world as the causative agent of cysticercosis, one of the most serious neglected tropical diseases. Discrete genetic lineages of T. solium in Asia and Africa/Latin America are geographically disjunct; only in Madagascar are they sympatric. Linguistic, archaeological and genetic evidence has indicated that the people in Madagascar have mixed ancestry from Island Southeast Asia and East Africa. Hence, anthropogenic introduction of the tapeworm from Southeast Asia and Africa had been postulated. This study shows that the major mitochondrial haplotype of T. solium in Madagascar is closely related to those from the Indian Subcontinent. Parasitological evidence presented here, and human genetics previously reported, support the hypothesis of an Indian influence on Malagasy culture coinciding with periods of early human migration onto the island. We also found evidence of nuclear-mitochondrial discordance in single tapeworms, indicating unexpected cross-fertilization between the two lineages of T. solium. Analyses of genetic and geographic populations of T. solium in Madagascar will shed light on apparently rapid evolution of this organism driven by recent (<2,000 yr) human migrations, following tens of thousands of years of geographic isolation.

AB  - Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential micronutrient for plants. To obtain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cold resistance enhanced by molybdenum application in winter wheat, we applied a proteomic approach to investigate the differential expression of proteins in response to molybdenum deficiency in winter wheat leaves under low-temperature stress. Of 13 protein spots that were identified, five spots were involved in the light reaction of photosynthesis, five were involved in the dark reaction of photosynthesis, and three were highly involved in RNA binding and protein synthesis. Before the application of cold stress, four differentially expressed proteins between the Mo deficiency (−Mo) vs. Mo application (+Mo) comparison are involved in carbon metabolism and photosynthetic electron transport. After 48 h of cold stress, nine differentially expressed proteins between the −Mo vs. +Mo comparison are involved in carbon metabolism, photosynthetic electron transport, RNA binding, and protein synthesis. Under −Mo condition, cold stress induced a more than twofold decrease in the accumulation of six differential proteins including ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large-chain precursor, phosphoglycerate kinase, cp31BHv, chlorophyll a/ b-binding protein, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit, and ribosomal protein P1, whereas under +Mo condition cold stress only decreased the expression of RuBisCO large subunit, suggesting that Mo application might contribute to the balance or stability of these proteins especially under low-temperature stress and that Mo deficiency has greater influence on differential protein expression in winter wheat after low-temperature stress. Further investigations showed that Mo deficiency decreased the concentrations of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids; the maximum net photosynthetic rate; the apparent quantum yield; and carboxylation efficiency, even before the application of the cold stress, although the decrease rates were greater after 48 h of cold treatment, which is consistent with changes in the expressions of differential proteins in winter wheat under low-temperature stress. These findings provide some new evidence that Mo might be involved in the light and dark reaction of photosynthesis and protein synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examined the role of innate cells in acquired resistance to the natural murine parasitic nematode, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Macrophages obtained from lungs as late as 45 d after N. brasiliensis inoculation were able to transfer accelerated parasite clearance to naive recipients. Primed macrophages adhered to larvae in vitro and triggered increased mortality of parasites. Neutrophil depletion in primed mice abrogated the protective effects of transferred macrophages and inhibited their in vitro binding to larvae. Neutrophils in parasite-infected mice showed a distinct transcriptional profile and promoted alternatively activated M2 macrophage polarization through secretory factors including IL-13. Differentially activated neutrophils in the context of a type 2 immune response therefore prime a long-lived effector macrophage phenotype that directly mediates rapid nematode damage and clearance.

AB  - The article presents the author's opinions concerning the potential of fuel cells to aid in challenges faced in the U.S. and globally to deal with peak power periods and the difficulties in storing energy generated by renewable energy sources. The author advocates for more fuel cell research and discusses the potential of hybrid fuel cells that would generate and store energy. Another option proposed is a type of fuel cell that could convert natural gas (methane) into liquid fuel (methanol).

N2  - Background: Systematic seasonal bias may confound efforts to estimate usual dietary intake and diet quality. Little is known about dietary quality over the winter holiday season. Objectives: The aims of this study were to test for differences in intakes of energy, percentage of energy from macronutrients, fruits and vegetables, and diet quality measured using the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010) by calendar and winter holiday seasons. Design: Longitudinal cohort design. Participants/setting: Data were derived from the Life in All Seasons study. Two cohorts of women aged 40 to 60 years (N=52) from the greater Grand Forks, ND, area were followed for 1 year each between July 2012 and July 2014. Each woman completed an online diet recall using the Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall every 10 days during the year, with a 92% response rate. Statistical analyses: Effects of calendar and winter holiday seasons on intakes of energy, percent energy from macronutrients, HEI-2010 total and component scores, and grams per day of individual fruits and vegetables were tested using mixed linear models. Results: The mean total HEI-2010 score was 60.1±1.4. There were seasonal differences in some HEI-2010 component scores, but not in total scores. More lettuce or mixed lettuce salad was consumed during summer than during winter (P=0.034), and more fresh tomatoes were consumed during summer and fall compared with winter (P=0.001). More corn, berries, peaches and nectarines, and melons (P&lt;0.001) were consumed during summer. There was no seasonal difference in reported intakes of energy (P=0.793). The total HEI-2010 score for dietary intake observed over the winter holiday season was lower than the rest of the year (P&lt;0.001). Reported energy intake was not different (P=0.228). Conclusions: In this population, diet quality is significantly lower during the winter holiday period, but mostly consistent by season. Multiple recalls in any season can give a reasonable representation of usual overall diet quality throughout the year.

N2  - The measured metabolizable energy (ME) of whole almonds has been shown to be less than predicted by Atwater factors. However, data are lacking on the effects of processing (roasting, chopping or grinding) on the ME of almonds. A 5-period randomized, crossover study in healthy individuals (n=18) was conducted to measure the ME of different forms of almonds (42 g per day), as part of a controlled diet: whole, natural almonds; whole, roasted almonds; chopped almonds; almond butter; and control (0 g per day). After 9 days of adaptation to each diet, participants collected all urine and fecal samples for 9 days. Diets, urine, and feces were analyzed to determine ME. Fracture force and fracture properties of whole and chopped almonds were measured. Measured ME (kcal g-1) of whole natural almonds (4.42), whole roasted almonds (4.86), and chopped almonds (5.04) was significantly lower than predicted with Atwater factors (P&lt;0.001); ME of almond butter (6.53 kcal g-1) was similar to predicted (P=0.08). The ME of whole roasted and chopped almonds was lower than almond butter (P&lt;0.0001). ME of whole natural almonds was lower than whole roasted almonds (P&lt;0.05). This may be due to lower hardness of whole roasted (298±1.3 N) compared to whole natural almonds (345±1.6 N) (P&lt;0.05), and to whole natural almonds fracturing into fewer, larger particles, thus inhibiting the release of lipids. Atwater factors overestimate the ME of whole (natural and roasted) and chopped almonds. The amount of calories absorbed from almonds is dependent on the form in which they are consumed.

N2  - Soluble fiber β-glucan is one of the key dietary materials in healthy food products known for reducing serum cholesterol levels. The micro-structural heterogeneity and micro-rheology of high-viscosity barley β-glucan solutions were investigated by the diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) technology. By comparing the mean-square displacement (MSD) of the microspheres imbedded in eight concentrations of β-glucan solutions, we found that the solutions exhibited nearly homogeneous behavior at ≤0.1%, but the material showed a clear degree of heterogeneity at ≥0.25%. Micro-rheology investigation revealed that β-glucan solutions displayed nearly perfect viscous behavior at ≤0.1%, but the property changed into viscoelastic one at ≥0.25%. All micro-structural heterogeneity and micro-rheological property shifts occurred in relatively small concentration ranges.

N2  - This study demonstrated the application of an automated high-throughput mini-cartridge solid-phase extraction (mini-SPE) cleanup for the rapid low-pressure gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LPGC-MS/MS) analysis of pesticides and environmental contaminants in QuEChERS extracts of foods. Cleanup efficiencies and breakthrough volumes using different mini-SPE sorbents were compared using avocado, salmon, pork loin, and kale as representative matrices. Optimum extract load volume was 300 µL for the 45 mg mini-cartridges containing 20/12/12/1 (w/w/w/w) anh. MgSO4/PSA (primary secondary amine)/C18/CarbonX sorbents used in the final method. In method validation to demonstrate high-throughput capabilities and performance results, 230 spiked extracts of 10 different foods (apple, kiwi, carrot, kale, orange, black olive, wheat grain, dried basil, pork, and salmon) underwent automated mini-SPE cleanup and analysis over the course of 5 days. In all, 325 analyses for 54 pesticides and 43 environmental contaminants (3 analyzed together) were conducted using the 10 min LPGC-MS/MS method without changing the liner or retuning the instrument. Merely, 1 mg equivalent sample injected achieved &lt;5 ng g-1 limits of quantification. With the use of internal standards, method validation results showed that 91 of the 94 analytes including pairs achieved satisfactory results (70-120% recovery and RSD≤25%) in the 10 tested food matrices (n=160). Matrix effects were typically less than ±20%, mainly due to the use of analyte protectants, and minimal human review of software data processing was needed due to summation function integration of analyte peaks. This study demonstrated that the automated mini-SPE+LPGC-MS/MS method yielded accurate results in rugged, high-throughput operations with minimal labor and data review.

N2  - Background: Children generally do not consume adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables (F/V). Eating more F/V can improve energy density and overall diet quality. Objective: Our aim was to investigate whether improvements in F/V consumption were associated with improvements in energy density, total calories, and dietary components related to F/V. Design: We performed secondary analyses of dietary data from a successful four-group randomized controlled trial promoting F/V. Data were collected at baseline, immediately after gameplay, and 3 months post intervention. Participants/setting: Preadolescent child-parent dyads (n=400) were recruited. Eligibility criteria were 4th- or 5th-grade child (approximately 9 to 11 years old) with Internet access and a parent willing to participate in the intervention. Complete dietary data were collected on 387 of the 400 child participants. The videogame was available online on a secure, password-protected website. Main outcome measures: Dietary intake was assessed with three unannounced dietary recalls collected at each data-collection period via telephone by trained staff using Nutrition Data System for Research software. Energy density and F/V, nutrient, and food consumption were calculated. Statistical analysis performed: A 4×3 (group by time) repeated measures analysis of covariance with mixed-effect linear models was used. Covariates included child's sex, race/ethnicity, and total energy intake as well as parent's age and household education. Energy was excluded as a covariate in the energy density and energy models. Results: Significant changes occurred in energy density. A significant interaction (group by time) was observed (F6, 515=2.40; P&lt;0.05) in energy density from food only, while a significant time effect was observed for energy density from all foods and beverages (F2, 388=13.75; P&lt;0.0001). Desirable changes were also observed in F/V-related dietary components. Conclusions: Increasing F/V consumption improved energy density and diet quality considerably in preadolescent children.

N2  - Background: Resting metabolic rate (RMR) measurement is time consuming and requires specialized equipment. Prediction equations provide an easy method to estimate RMR; however, their accuracy likely varies across individuals. Understanding the factors that influence the accuracy of RMR predictions will help to revise existing, or develop new and improved, equations. Objective: Our aim was to test the validity of RMR predicted in healthy adults by the Harris-Benedict, World Health Organization, Mifflin-St Jeor, Nelson, Wang equations, and three meta-equations of Sabounchi. Design: Predicted RMR was tested for agreement with indirect calorimetry. Participants/setting: Men and women (n=30) age 18 to 65 years from Grand Forks, ND, were recruited and included for analysis during spring/summer 2014. Participants were nonobese or obese (body mass index range=19 to 39) and primarily white. Main outcome measure Agreement between measured (indirect calorimetry) and predicted RMR was measured. Statistical analysis: The methods of Bland and Altman were employed to determine mean bias (predicted minus measured RMR, kcal/day) and limits of agreement between predicted and measured RMR. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to test for bias in RMR predicted from each equation vs the measured RMR. Results: Bias (mean±2 standard deviations) was lowest for the Harris-Benedict (-14±378 kcal/24 h) and World Health Organization (-25±394 kcal/24 h) equations. These equations also predicted RMR that were not different from measured. Mean RMR predictions from all other equations significantly differed from indirect calorimetry. The 2 standard deviation limits of agreement were moderate or large for all equations tested, ranging from 314 to 445 kcal/24 h. Prediction bias was inversely associated with the magnitude of RMR and with fat-free mass. Conclusions: At the group level, the traditional Harris-Benedict and World Health Organization equations were the most accurate. However, these equations did not perform well at the individual level. As fat-free mass increased, the prediction equations further underestimated RMR.

N2  - Easy and clean separation of starchy endosperm from bran during milling could have a significant contribution to the increased flour yield. Starch content and DMSO extractable content of bran were determined as the estimates for remnant endosperm content of bran for 61 and 100 soft red winter (SRW) wheat genotypes grown in 2013 and 2014, respectively. DMSO extractable content was found to be more reliable in the estimation of remnant endosperm content of bran than was starch content with better reproducibility. Flour yields of the 2013 and 2014 SRW wheat varieties tested ranged from 65.1 to 72.4% (w/w), and 63.6-73.9% (w/w), respectively. The remnant endosperm content of bran estimated using the DMSO extractable content ranged from 33.9 to 43.6% (w/w) and 35.4-47.4% (w/w) for the 2013 and 2014 crops, respectively. The remnant endosperm content was significantly related to flour yield with a correlation coefficient of r=-0.54 (P&lt;0.001) from the 2014 crop, which was greater than that for any other grain characteristics including test weight, kernel hardness, and kernel weight. The degree of endosperm separation varied with different wheat varieties, different bran pieces and even different parts of the same piece of bran.

N2  - Electrospinning was used to produce ultrafine fibers and fibrous mats from aqueous solutions containing two edible polysaccharides: pectin (PEC) and pullulan (PUL). The process excluded the use of a synthetic carrier polymer or non-aqueous solvents thus maintaining the food-grade status of the components. The inclusion of PUL reduced the surface tension and electric conductivity of pectin solution, and promoted molecular entanglement between PEC and PUL as confirmed by rheological analysis. The spinnability of either polysaccharide was promoted by inclusion of the other. Cross-linking PEC networks were obtained by soaking the fibrous mats in successive Ca2+ solution. The fibrous mats can be used to carry bioactive compounds as demonstrated using probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) as a model bioactive compound. The research is significant for the development of food products with unique textures and functionalities.

N2  - Disruption of the circadian rhythm contributes to obesity. This study tested the hypothesis that time-restricted feeding (TRF) reduces high-fat diet-induced increase in adiposity. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed the AIN93 G or the high-fat diet ad libitum (ad lib); TRF of the high-fat diet for 12 or 8 hours during the dark cycle was initiated when high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited significant increases in body weight. Energy intake of the TRF 12-hour group was not different from that of the high-fat ad lib group, although that of the TRF 8-hour group was slightly but significantly lower. Restricted feeding of the high-fat diet reduced body fat mass and body weight compared with mice fed the high-fat diet ad lib. There were no differences in respiratory exchange ratio (RER) among TRF and high-fat ad lib groups, but the RER of these groups was lower than that of the AIN93 G group. Energy expenditure of the TRF groups was slightly but significantly lower than that of the high-fat ad lib group. Plasma concentrations of ghrelin were increased in TRF groups compared with both AIN93 G and high-fat ad lib groups. Elevations of plasma concentrations of insulin, leptin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 by high-fat ad lib feeding were reduced by TRF to the levels of mice fed the AIN93 G diet. In conclusion, TRF during the dark cycle reduces high-fat diet-induced increases in adiposity and proinflammatory cytokines. These results indicate that circadian timing of food intake may prevent obesity and abate obesity-related metabolic disturbance.

N2  - Objective To develop a scientifically based childhood obesity prevention program supporting child eating self-regulation and taste preferences. This article describes the research methods for the Strategies for Effective Eating Development program. A logic model is provided that depicts a visual presentation of the activities that will be used to guide the development of the prevention program. Design Randomized, controlled prevention program, pretest, posttest, 6 months, and 12 months. Setting Two sites: Houston, TX and Pasco, WA. Each trial will last 7 weeks with 8-10 mother-child dyads in each arm (prevention and control). Participants Recruitment at Head Start districts (Texas; n=160) and Inspire Child Development Center including Early Childhood Education and Head Start (Washington; n=160). Sixteen trials with 16-20 parent-child dyads per trial will provide adequate power to detect moderate effects. Intervention Multicomponent family-based prevention program incorporating a dialogue approach to adult learning and self-determination theory. Main Outcome Measures Child assessments will include observed taste preferences, caloric compensation, and eating in the absence of hunger. Parent assessments will include parent-reported feeding, feeding emotions, acculturation, child eating behaviors, child food preferences, and child dietary intake. Heights and weights will be measured for parent and child. Analysis A multilevel growth modeling analysis will be employed to consider the nested nature of the data: time points (level 1) within families (level 2) within trials (level 3).

N2  - A pilot-scale (1800 kg per batch capacity) autoclave used in this study reduces municipal solid waste to a debris contaminated pulp product that is efficiently separated into its renewable organic content and non-renewable organic content fractions using a rotary trommel screen. The renewable organic content can be recovered at nearly 90% efficiency and the trommel rejects are also much easier to sort for recovery. This study provides the evaluation of autoclave operation, including mass and energy balances for the purpose of integration into organic diversion systems. Several methods of cooking municipal solid waste were explored from indirect oil heating only, a combination of oil and direct steam during the same cooking cycle, and steam only. Gross energy requirements averaged 1290 kJ kg-1 material in vessel, including the weight of free water and steam added during heating. On average, steam recovery can recoup 43% of the water added and 30% of the energy, supplying on average 40% of steam requirements for the next cook. Steam recycle from one vessel to the next can reduce gross energy requirements to an average of 790 kJ kg-1.

N2  - Objective: Squire's Quest! II: Saving the Kingdom of Fivealot, an online video game, promotes fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. An evaluation study varied the type of implementation intentions used during the goal-setting process (none, action, coping, or both action and coping plans). Participants who created action plans reported higher FV consumption 6 months after baseline. This study assessed changes by specific meal in that study. Methods: A total of 400 fourth- and fifth-grade children completed 3 24-hour recalls at baseline and 6 months later. These were averaged to obtain FV intake. Analyses used repeated-measures ANCOVA. Results: There was a significant group by time effect for vegetables at 6 months (P=.01); Action (P=.01) and coping (P=.04) group participants reported higher vegetable intake at dinner. There were significant increases in fruit intake at breakfast (P=.009), lunch (P=.01), and snack (P&lt;.001). Conclusions and Implications: Setting meal-specific goals and action or coping plans may enable children to overcome barriers and consume FV.

N2  - Background/Objectives: Inflammation and hemostasis contribute to the etiology of cardiovascular disease. We previously demonstrated that moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/day) may decrease risk for cardiovascular disease because of an improved lipid profile. In addition to these beneficial changes, the alcohol-mediated reduction in risk may be through its effect on inflammation and hemostasis. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on biomarkers of inflammation and hemostasis in postmenopausal women. Subjects/Methods: As part of a controlled diet study, 53 postmenopausal women each consumed a weight-maintaining diet plus 0, 15 and 30 g/day of alcohol for 8 weeks, in a randomized crossover design. The controlled diet contained 15%, 53% and 32% of energy from protein, carbohydrate and fat, respectively. Results: Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 decreased by 5% (P&lt;0.05) with consumption of both 15 and 30 g of alcohol. Fibrinogen concentrations decreased by 4% and 6% (P&lt;0.05) after consumption of 15 and 30 g alcohol, respectively. Fibrin D-dimer decreased by 24% (P&lt;0.05) after consumption of 30 g of alcohol. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) concentrations were increased 27 and 54% (P&lt;0.05) after consumption of 15 and 30 g of alcohol. Plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and factor VII coagulant activity did not change with alcohol consumption. Conclusions: These data suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may have beneficial effects on inflammation and hemostasis in postmenopausal women, and this may be somewhat mitigated by an increase in PAI-1.

N2  - Published research on process-based models for biocontrol of foodborne pathogens on produce is limited. The aim of this research was to develop cost model estimates for competitive exclusion (CE) process using Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas chlororaphis (non-plant pathogenic and non-human pathogen) as biocontrol against Salmonella enterica on tomatoes. Cost estimates were based on material inputs, equipment, facilities, and projected processing conditions of post-harvest packaging of tomatoes. The microbiological data for inactivation of S. enterica was based on published papers. The small-scale processing facility was assumed to have a processing capacity of 2000 kg of tomatoes/hour for 16 h per day, operational 6 days a week, and for 3-months /year. The large-scale facility was assumed to have a processing capacity of 100,000 kg of tomatoes/hour. Estimated initial capital investment costs for small and large-scale models (production facility) were US$391,000 and US$2.1 million. Application of CE for biocontrol of S. enterica on tomatoes was estimated at US$0.0058-0.073/kg of tomatoes during commercial processing operations. This exceeds chlorine wash technology estimated at US$0.00046/kg and is competitive with gaseous chlorine dioxide at US$0.02-0.21/kg. For high-value produce, CE may complement existing technologies increase food safety, reduce storage loses, and extend shelf life of produce.

N2  - During pregnancy, glycine and serine become more important because they are the primary suppliers of methyl groups for the synthesis of fetal DNA, and more glycine is required for fetal collagen synthesis as pregnancy progresses. In an earlier study, we reported that glycine flux decreased by 39% from the first to the third trimester in pregnant adolescent girls. As serine is a primary precursor for glycine synthesis, the objective of this study was to measure and compare glycine and serine fluxes and inter-conversions in pregnant adolescent girls and adult women in the first and third trimesters. Measurements were made after an overnight fast by continuous intravenous infusions of 2H2-glycine and 15N-serine in eleven adolescent girls (17.4 (SE 0.1) years of age) and in ten adult women (25.8 (SE 0.5) years of age) for 4 h. Adolescent girls had significantly slower glycine flux and they made less glycine from serine in the third (P&lt;0.05) than in the first trimester. Baby birth length was significantly shorter of adolescent girls (P=0.04) and was significantly associated with third trimester glycine flux. These findings suggest that the pregnant adolescent cannot maintain glycine flux in late pregnancy compared with early pregnancy because of decreased synthesis from serine. It is possible that the inability to maintain glycine synthesis makes her fetus vulnerable to impaired cartilage synthesis, and thus linear growth.

N2  - Amylose-ligand inclusion complexes represent an interesting approach to deliver bioactive molecules. However, ferulic acid has been shown not to form single helical inclusion complexes with amylose from high amylose maize starch. To overcome this problem a lipophilic ferulic acid ester, octadecyl ferulate, was prepared and complexed with amylose via excess steam jet cooking. Jet-cooking octadecyl ferulate and high amylose starch gave an amylose-octadecyl ferulate inclusion complex in 51.0% isolated yield. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirmed that a 61 V-type inclusion complex was formed. Amylose and extraction assays showed the complex to be enriched in amylose (91.9±4.3%) and contain 70.6±5.6 mg g-1 octadecyl ferulate, although, minor hydrolysis (~4%) of the octadecyl ferulate was observed under the excess steam jet-cooking conditions utilized. This study demonstrates that steam jet cooking is a rapid and scalable process in which to prepare amylose-octadecyl ferulate inclusion complexes.

N2  - Scope: Omega-3 PUFAs (n-3 PUFAs) reduce IL-6 gene expression, but their effects on transcription regulatory mechanisms are unknown. We aimed to conduct an integrated analysis with both population and in vitro studies to systematically explore the relationships among n-3 PUFA, DNA methylation, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), gene expression, and protein concentration of IL6. Methods and results: Using data in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study and the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) consortium, we found that higher methylation of IL6 promoter cg01770232 was associated with higher IL-6 plasma concentration (p=0.03) and greater IL6 gene expression (p=0.0005). Higher circulating total n-3 PUFA was associated with lower cg01770232 methylation (p=0.007) and lower IL-6 concentration (p=0.02). Moreover, an allele of IL6 rs2961298 was associated with higher cg01770232 methylation (p=2.55×10-7). The association between n-3 PUFA and cg01770232 methylation was dependent on rs2961298 genotype (p=0.02), but higher total n-3 PUFA was associated with lower cg01770232 methylation in the heterozygotes (p=0.04) not in the homozygotes. Conclusion: Higher n-3 PUFA is associated with lower methylation at IL6 promoter, which may be modified by IL6 SNPs.

N2  - β-Cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid found in fruits and vegetables such as tangerines, red peppers, and pumpkin, has several functions important for human health. Most evidence from observational, in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggests that β-cryptoxanthin has relatively high bioavailability from its common food sources, to the extent that some β-cryptoxanthin-rich foods might be equivalent to β-carotene-rich foods as sources of retinol. β-Cryptoxanthin is an antioxidant in vitro and appears to be associated with decreased risk of some cancers and degenerative diseases. In addition, many in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggest that β-cryptoxanthin-rich foods may have an anabolic effect on bone and, thus, may help delay osteoporosis.

N2  - Background: Supermarkets use sales circulars to highlight specific foods, usually at reduced prices. Resulting purchases help form the set of available foods within households from which individuals and families make choices about what to eat. Objective: The purposes of this study were to determine how closely foods featured in weekly supermarket sales circulars conform to dietary guidance and how diet quality compares with that of the US population's intakes. Design: Food and beverage items (n=9,149) in 52 weekly sales circulars from a small Midwestern grocery chain in 2009 were coded to obtain food group and nutrient and energy content. Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) total and component scores were calculated using algorithms developed by the National Cancer Institute. HEI-2010 scores for the US population aged 2+ years were estimated using data from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. HEI-2010 scores of circulars and population intakes were compared using Student's t tests. Results: Mean total (42.8 of 100) HEI-2010 scores of circulars were lower than that of the US population (55.4; P&lt;0.001). Among individual components, Total Protein Foods was the only one for which 100% of the maximum score was met by both circulars and the population. The scores were also similar between the circulars and population for Whole Grains (22%; P=0.81) and Seafood and Plant Proteins (70% to 74%; P=0.33). Circular scores were lower than those of the population for Total and Whole Fruits, Total Vegetables and Greens and Beans, Dairy, Sodium, and Empty Calories (P&lt;0.001); they were higher only for Fatty Acids (P=0.006) and Refined Grains (P&lt;0.001). Conclusions: HEI-2010 total scores for these sales circulars were even lower than US population scores, which have been shown repeatedly to reflect low diet quality. Supermarkets could support improvements in consumer diets by weekly featuring foods that are more in concordance with food and nutrient recommendations.

N2  - Background: Poor diet quality in childhood and adolescence is associated with adverse health outcomes throughout life, yet the dietary habits of American children and how they change across childhood and adolescence are unknown. Objectives: This study sought to describe diet quality among children and adolescents by assessing adherence to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and to determine whether any differences in adherence occurred across childhood. Design, setting, and participants: We employed a cross-sectional design using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Of 9,280 children aged 4 to 18 years who participated in NHANES from 2005 to 2010, those with insufficient data on dietary recall (n=852) or who were pregnant or lactating during the time of interview (n=38) were excluded from the final study sample (n=8,390). Main outcome measures: We measured adherence to the DGA using the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010) and stratified participants into three age groups (4 to 8, 9 to 13, and 14 to 18 years of age). We analyzed each of 12 HEI-2010 components and total HEI-2010 score. Results: The youngest children had the highest overall diet quality due to significantly greater scores for total fruit, whole fruit, dairy, and whole grains. These children also had the highest scores for sodium, refined grains, and empty calories. Total HEI-2010 scores ranged from 43.59 to 52.11 out of 100, much lower than the minimum score of 80 that is thought to indicate a diet associated with good health. Conclusions: Overall, children and adolescents are failing to meet the DGA and may be at an increased risk of chronic diseases throughout life. By analyzing which food groups show differences between age groups, we provide data that can inform the development of dietary interventions to promote specific food groups targeting specific ages and improve diet quality among children and adolescents.

AB  - Microfiltration of chicken extracts has the potential to significantly decrease the time required to detect Salmonella, as long as the extract can be efficiently filtered and the pathogenic microorganisms kept in a viable state during this process. We present conditions that enable microfiltration by adding endopeptidase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to chicken extracts or chicken rinse, prior to microfiltration with fluid flow on both retentate and permeate sides of 0.2 μm cutoff polysulfone and polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes. After treatment with this protease, the distribution of micron, submicron, and nanometer particles in chicken extracts changes so that the size of the remaining particles corresponds to 0.4-1 μm. Together with alteration of dissolved proteins, this change helps to explain how membrane fouling might be minimized because the potential foulants are significantly smaller or larger than the membrane pore size. At the same time, we found that the presence of protein protects Salmonella from protease action, thus maintaining cell viability. Concentration and recovery of 1-10 CFU Salmonella/mL from 400 mL chicken rinse is possible in less than 4 h, with the microfiltration step requiring less than 25 min at fluxes of 0.028-0.32 mL/cm2 min. The entire procedure--from sample processing to detection by polymerase chain reaction--is completed in 8 h. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cat food left out for feral and domestic cats and bird seed spilled from backyard bird feeders are two common anthropogenic food sources that may attract non-target animals like urban mesocarnivores but no studies have quantified mesocarnivore visitation at these food sources. We used motion-activated video cameras to monitor mesocarnivore use of spilled bird seed below 25 bird feeders maintained by residents in four neighborhoods in Flagstaff, Arizona, June-September 2012 and 2014. During the first five nights of monitoring only seed that spilled naturally below feeders was available. On each of the subsequent five nights, we placed a bowl of commercially available dry cat food below feeders so that both spilled seed and cat food were present. In both years, after cat food was added, the number of visits by striped skunks ( Mephitis mephitis), raccoons ( Procyon lotor) and domestic cats ( Felis cattus) doubled and the number of times two animals were present simultaneously also increased. Aggressive interactions, in the form of displays or contacts, increased for all species combinations but significantly only between skunks in the presence of cat food. These results demonstrate that both spilled bird seed and cat food may be exploited frequently by urban mesocarnivores and that the type of food can elicit different behavioral responses that could have important implications for human-wildlife conflict and disease transmission.

AB  - Riparian seeps have been recognized for their contributions to stream flow in headwater catchments, but there is limited data on how seeps affect stream water quality. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of seeps on the variability of stream NO3-N concentrations in FD36 and RS, two agricultural catchments in Pennsylvania. Stream samples were collected at 10-m intervals over reaches of 550 ( FD36) and 490 m ( RS) on 21 occasions between April 2009 and January 2012. Semi-variogram analysis was used to quantify longitudinal patterns in stream NO3-N concentration. Seep water was collected at 14 sites in FD36 and 7 in RS, but the number of flowing seeps depended on antecedent conditions. Seep NO3-N concentrations were variable (0.1-29.5 mg/l) and were often greater downslope of cropped fields compared to other land uses. During base flow, longitudinal variability in stream NO3-N concentrations increased as the number of flowing seeps increased. The influence of seeps on the variability of stream NO3-N concentrations was less during storm flow compared to the variability of base flow NO3-N concentrations. However, 24 h after a storm in FD36, an increase in the number of flowing seeps and decreasing streamflow resulted in the greatest longitudinal variability in stream NO3-N concentrations recorded. Results indicate seeps are important areas of NO3-N delivery to streams where targeted adoption of mitigation measures may substantially improve stream water quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In January 2014, an international meeting sponsored by the International Life Sciences Institute/Health and Environmental Sciences Institute and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency titled 'Genetic Basis of Unintended Effects in Modified Plants' was held in Ottawa, Canada, bringing together over 75 scientists from academia, government, and the agro-biotech industry. The objectives of the meeting were to explore current knowledge and identify areas requiring further study on unintended effects in plants and to discuss how this information can inform and improve genetically modified (GM) crop risk assessments. The meeting featured presentations on the molecular basis of plant genome variability in general, unintended changes at the molecular and phenotypic levels, and the development and use of hypothesis-driven evaluations of unintended effects in assessing conventional and GM crops. The development and role of emerging 'omics' technologies in the assessment of unintended effects was also discussed. Several themes recurred in a number of talks; for example, a common observation was that no system for genetic modification, including conventional methods of plant breeding, is without unintended effects. Another common observation was that 'unintended' does not necessarily mean 'harmful'. This paper summarizes key points from the information presented at the meeting to provide readers with current viewpoints on these topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As the size and extent of wildfires has increased in recent decades, so has the cost and extent of post-fire management, including seeding and salvage logging. However, we know little about how burn severity, salvage logging, and post-fire seeding interact to influence vegetation recovery long-term. We sampled understory plant species richness, diversity, and canopy cover one to six years post fire (2006 to 2009, and 2011) on 72 permanent plots selected in a stratified random sample to define post-fire vegetation response to burn severity, post-fire seeding with native grasses, and salvage logging on the 2005 School Fire in eastern Washington. Understory vegetation responded rapidly post fire due, in part, to ample low intensity rainfall events in the first post-fire growing season. Vegetation was more diverse with greater plant species richness and diversity (Shannon-Wiener index) in low and moderate burn severity plots in 2006 (species richness 18; diversity 2.3) compared to high burn severity plots (species richness 10; diversity 1.8), with species richness on the high severity plots reaching 19 in the sixth post-fire year, similar to the initial values on the low and moderate burn severity plots. Plants that commonly resprout from rhizomes, bulbs, and other surviving belowground sources were abundant post fire, while those establishing from off-site seed sources, including non-native species, were present but not abundant. Plots seeded with native grass post fire and not salvage logged had the highest canopy cover of graminoid species: more than 30% six years after the fire (in 2011), with low forb (15%) and shrub (1%) canopy cover and species richness. For comparison, high severity plots that were not seeded and not salvage logged had 3% graminoid cover, 14% forb cover, and 26% shrub cover. Plots that had been salvage logged from one to three years after the fire produced less canopy cover of shrubs and forbs, but three times more canopy cover of graminoids on the high burn severity plots by 2011. High severity plots that were salvage logged and not seeded with native grasses had the lowest species richness, diversity, and cover. Very few non-native species were found, regardless of salvage logging and seeding. Rapid post-fire growth dominated by native plants of high diversity suggests that this forest's vegetation and soils are highly resilient to disturbance. Overall, burn severity and post-fire seeding with native grasses were more influential than salvage logging on understory plant abundance one to six years after fire.

AB  - A medida que el tamaño y la extensión de los incendios han aumentado en las recientes décadas, también lo ha hecho el costo y el alcance del manejo post-fuego, incluyendo la siembra y las cortas de recuperación. Sin embargo, conocemos poco sobre como la severidad del fuego, las cortas de recuperación y las siembras post-fuego interactúan para influir sobre la restauración de la vegetación a largo plazo. En este estudio muestreamos la riqueza de especies del sotobosque, la diversidad, y la cobertura del dosel vegetal entre uno y seis años después del fuego (2006 a 2009, y 2011) en 72 parcelas permanentes seleccionadas en un muestreo estratificado al azar, para definir la respuesta de la vegetación a la severidad del fuego, siembra post-fuego de especies gramíneas nativas y cortas de recuperación en el incendio de School Fire ocurrido en 2005, al este de Washington. La vegetación del sotobosque respondió rápidamente después del fuego, debido en parte a abundantes lluvias de baja intensidad en las primeras temporadas de crecimiento tras el fuego. La vegetación fue más diversa con mayor riqueza de especies y diversidad (índice de Shannon- Wiener) en parcelas con severidad de fuego baja y moderada (riqueza de especies 18, diversidad: 2.3) comparado con parcelas con severidad de fuego alta (riqueza de especies 10, diversidad 1.8), con riqueza de especies 19 en parcelas de alta severidad seis años post-fuego, similar a los valores iniciales en las parcelas con baja y moderada severidad del fuego. Plantas que comúnmente rebrotan de rizomas, bulbos y otras que sobreviven por debajo de la superficie del suelo, fueron abundantes después del fuego, mientras que aquéllas que se establecieron de fuentes de semilla ubicadas más allá del perímetro quemado, incluyendo especies exóticas, aparecieron pero no en abundancia. Las parcelas sembradas con especies de gramíneas nativas después del fuego y sin recuperación maderera tuvieron las coberturas más altas de especies graminoides, con más del 30% seis años después del fuego (en 2011), con una cobertura baja de hierbas (15%) y de arbustos (1%) y de riqueza de especies. En contraste, las parcelas con severidad alta que no fueron sembradas y en donde tampoco se recuperó la madera, presentaron un 3% de cobertura de especies graminoides, 14% de cobertura de herbáceas y 26% de cobertura de arbustos. Las parcelas en donde se ha recuperado la madera entre uno a tres años después del fuego, produjeron menor cobertura de dosel de arbustos y herbáceas, pero esta cobertura fue tres veces más alta en el dosel de graminoides en las parcelas con alta severidad del fuego en 2011. Las parcelas con alta severidad del fuego cuya madera se recuperó y que no fueron sembradas con gramíneas nativas, presentaron la más baja riqueza, diversidad y cobertura de especies. Muy pocas especies exóticas fueron en contradas, independientemente de la recuperación de la madera o de la siembra. El rápido crecimiento post-fuego dominado por plantas nativas de diversidad alta sugiere que la vegetación y los suelos de este bosque son altamente resilientes a las perturbaciones. En general, la severidad del fuego y la siembra post-fuego con especies de gramíneas nativas fue más influyente que la recuperación de madera en la abundancia de plantas del sotobosque, entre uno a seis años después del fuego.

AB  - The 4-H youth development program of the nation's 109 land-grant universities and the Cooperative Extension System is one of the largest youth development organization in the United States serving approximately six million youth. The 4-H Healthy Living initiative began in 2008 to promote achievement of optimal physical, social, and emotional well-being for youth and families. In 2013, the National 4-H Council sought to identify 4-H Healthy Living programs in the domains of healthy eating and physical activity that adhered to the national 4-H Healthy Living mission and were ready for comprehensive outcome evaluation or replication at a national level. This chapter shares findings from an environmental scan of 4-H programs and (a) identifies programs with evidence of promoting a healthy diet and physical activity, (b) describes program impacts related to healthy diet and physical activity, and (c) clarifies select program characteristics associated with reported healthy eating and/or physical activity outcomes. The RE-AIM evaluation framework is introduced as an effective approach to assessing program impact for 4-H Healthy Living and similar out-of-school time programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis is one of the most commonly reported causes of human salmonellosis. Its low genetic diversity, measured by fingerprinting methods, has made subtyping a challenge. We used whole-genome sequencing to characterize 125 S. enterica Enteritidis and 3 S. enterica serotype Nitra strains. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were filtered to identify 4,887 reliable loci that distinguished all isolates from each other. Our whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism typing approach was robust for S. enterica Enteritidis subtyping with combined data for different strains from 2 different sequencing platforms. Five major genetic lineages were recognized, which revealed possible patterns of geographic and epidemiologic distribution. Analyses on the population dynamics and evolutionary history estimated that major lineages emerged during the 17th-18th centuries and diversified during the 1920s and 1950s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Agricultural fairs provide an opportunity for bidirectional transmission of influenza A viruses. We sought to determine influenza A virus activity among swine at fairs in the United States. As part of an ongoing active influenza A virus surveillance project, nasal swab samples were collected from exhibition swine at 40 selected Ohio agricultural fairs during 2012. Influenza A(H3N2) virus was isolated from swine at 10 of the fairs. According to a concurrent public health investigation, 7 of the 10 fairs were epidemiologically linked to confirmed human infections with influenza A(H3N2) variant virus. Comparison of genome sequences of the subtype H3N2 isolates recovered from humans and swine from each fair revealed nucleotide identities of >99.7%, confirming zoonotic transmission between swine and humans. All influenza A(H3N2) viruses isolated in this study, regardless of host species or fair, were >99.5% identical, indicating that 1 virus strain was widely circulating among exhibition swine in Ohio during 2012.

AB  - Objectives. We compared sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), alcohol, and other caloric beverage (juice and milk) consumption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants with that of low-income nonparticipants. Methods. We used 1 day of dietary intake data from the 2005–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 4594 adults aged 20 years and older with household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty line. We used bivariate and multivariate methods to compare the probability of consuming and the amount of calories consumed for each beverage type across 3 groups: current SNAP participants, former participants, and nonparticipants.We used instrumental variablemethods to control for unobservable differences in participant groups. Results. After controlling for observable characteristics, SNAP participants were no more likely to consume SSBs than were nonparticipants. Instrumental variable estimates showed that current participants consumed fewer calories from SSBs than did similar nonparticipants. We found no differences in alcoholic beverage consumption, which cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits. Conclusions. SNAP participants are not unique in their consumption of SSBs or alcoholic beverages. Purchase restrictions may have little effect on SSB consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alternative (M2) activation of macrophages driven via the α-chain of the receptor for interleukin 4 (IL-4Rα) is important for immunity to parasites, wound healing, the prevention of atherosclerosis and metabolic homeostasis. M2 polarization is dependent on fatty acid oxidation (FAO), but the source of the fatty acids that support this metabolic program has not been clear. We found that the uptake of triacylglycerol substrates via the scavenger receptor CD36 and their subsequent lipolysis by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) was important for the engagement of elevated oxidative phosphorylation, enhanced spare respiratory capacity (SRC), prolonged survival and expression of genes that together define M2 activation. Inhibition of lipolysis suppressed M2 activation during infection with a parasitic helminth and blocked protective responses to this pathogen. Our findings delineate a critical role for cell-intrinsic lysosomal lipolysis in M2 activation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Giant reed is an emergent aquatic plant that may be weedy in riparian habitats. Two herbicides approved for controlling giant reed in the US are glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) and imazapyr (2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid). Foliar applications of these herbicides may be restricted in some areas, such as those, which are within the range of threatened or endangered species. We conducted two field experiments at sites in northern and central California. The first experiment evaluated the effects of three aquatic herbicides (glyphosate, imazapyr, and triclopyr [(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid) injected into all of the stems within a giant reed (5 mL stem−1). In this experiment, leaf chlorophyll content, the proportion of living stems, and the number of new stems produced during the year after treatment declined (>80%) following injection of either full strength glyphosate or imazapyr. The effects of injecting full strength triclopyr were considerably less. In a second experiment, different proportions (0, 10%, 25%, or 100%) of the stems within a plant were injected with full strength glyphosate. Results indicated that it was necessary to inject all of the stems within a clump to achieve the greatest reduction in the plant growth characteristics measured. These results imply that giant reed may be successfully controlled by injecting full strength glyphosate (5 mL stem−1) into all of the stems within a clump. While labor intensive and thus potentially more costly this method, offers a new method for managing giant reed in sensitive sites where foliar spray applications may be restricted.

AB  - A long-standing goal in plant research is to optimize the protective function of biochemical agents that impede pest and pathogen attack. Nearly 40 years ago, pathogen-inducible diterpenoid production was described in rice, and these compounds were shown to function as antimicrobial phytoalexins. Using rice and maize as examples, we discuss recent advances in the discovery, biosynthesis, elicitation and functional characterization of monocot terpenoid phytoalexins. The recent expansion of known terpenoid phytoalexins now includes not only the labdane-related diterpenoid superfamily but also casbane-type diterpenoids and β-macrocarpene-derived sequiterpenoids. Biochemical approaches have been used to pair pathway precursors and end products with cognate biosynthetic genes. The number of predicted terpenoid phytoalexins is expanding through advances in cereal genome annotation and terpene synthase characterization that likewise enable discoveries outside the Poaceae. At the cellular level, conclusive evidence now exists for multiple plant receptors of fungal-derived chitin elicitors, phosphorylation of membrane-associated signaling complexes, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, involvement of phytohormone signals, and the existence of transcription factors that mediate the expression of phytoalexin biosynthetic genes and subsequent accumulation of pathway end products. Elicited production of terpenoid phytoalexins exhibit additional biological functions, including root exudate-mediated allelopathy and insect antifeedant activity. Such findings have encouraged consideration of additional interactions that blur traditionally discrete phytoalexin classifications. The establishment of mutant collections and increasing ease of genetic transformation assists critical examination of further biological roles. Future research directions include examination of terpenoid phytoalexin precursors and end products as potential signals mediating plant physiological processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - High-density single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) genotyping arrays are a powerful tool for studying genomic patterns of diversity, inferring ancestral relationships between individuals in populations and studying marker-trait associations in mapping experiments. We developed a genotyping array including about 90 000 gene-associated SNPs and used it to characterize genetic variation in allohexaploid and allotetraploid wheat populations. The array includes a significant fraction of common genome-wide distributed SNPs that are represented in populations of diverse geographical origin. We used density-based spatial clustering algorithms to enable high-throughput genotype calling in complex data sets obtained for polyploid wheat. We show that these model-free clustering algorithms provide accurate genotype calling in the presence of multiple clusters including clusters with low signal intensity resulting from significant sequence divergence at the target SNP site or gene deletions. Assays that detect low-intensity clusters can provide insight into the distribution of presence-absence variation ( PAV) in wheat populations. A total of 46 977 SNPs from the wheat 90K array were genetically mapped using a combination of eight mapping populations. The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.

AB  - The effect of initial channel catfish ( Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque, 1818) fingerling biomass (1.4, 1.8, or 2.3 kg m−3) on phytoplankton communities, common off-flavours and stocker catfish production parameters was evaluated in biofloc technology production tanks. Stocker catfish size (145.5-172.6 g fish−1) at harvest did not differ among treatments, but net yield increased linearly as initial biomass increased ( R2 = 0.633). Mean total feed consumption increased linearly with initial catfish biomass ( R2 = 0.656) and ranged from 10.7 to 15.8 kg m−3. Total suspended solids (TSS) in all treatments increased linearly with total feed addition, and high TSS appeared to impact negatively daily feed consumption. Initial phytoplankton populations were dominated by small colonial green algae and diatoms, and later transitioned to populations dominated by a small, filamentous cyanobacteria and diatoms. Low, variable concentrations of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin were present in biofloc tank water during most of the study and two tanks yielded catfish with 2-methylisoborneol or geosmin concentrations that might be classified as off-flavour. One isolate of actinomycete was isolated sporadically from some biofloc tanks, but its abundance was not correlated with 2-methylisoborneol concentration in tank waters. The microbial sources of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in biofloc tanks remain unidentified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives:Some of the major challenges associated with successful dietary weight management include the identification of individuals not responsive to specific interventions. The aim was to investigate the potential relationship between weight loss and circadian rhythmicity, using wrist temperature and actimetry measurements, in women undergoing a weight-loss program, in order to assess whether circadian rhythmicity could be a marker of weight-loss effectiveness.Methods:Participants were 85 overweight and obese women (body mass index, BMI: 30.24±4.95 kg m−2) subjected to a weight-reduction program. Efficacy of the treatment was defined as total weight loss, percentage of initial weight and weekly weight loss rates. Circadian rhythmicity in wrist temperature motor activity and position were analyzed using different sensors.Results:Lower weight loss was related with a more flattened pattern measured as amplitude from cosinor (r=0.235, P=0.032), a higher fragmentation of rhythms determined by higher intradaily variability (IV) (r=−0.339, P=0.002), and an impaired wrist temperature circadian rhythm determined by the means of Circadian Function Index (r=0.228, P=0.038). Further analyses showed that low responders displayed lower amplitude (0.71±0.36 versus 1.24±0.62, P=0.036) and higher fragmentation of the circadian rhythm (0.24±0.11 versus 0.15±0.07, P=0.043) than high responders. Whereas we did not find significant differences in total activity rates between high responders and low responders, we found significant differences for the mean values of body position for high responders (39.12±3.79°) as compared with low responder women (35.31±2.53°, P=0.01).Conclusions:Circadian rhythms at the beginning of the treatment are good predictors of future weight loss. Further treatment should consider chronobiological aspects to diagnose obesity and effectiveness of treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim Evidence linking the accumulation of exotic species to the suppression of native diversity is equivocal, often relying on data from studies that have used different methods. Plot-level studies often attribute inverse relationships between native and exotic diversity to competition, but regional abiotic filters, including anthropogenic influences, can produce similar patterns. We seek to test these alternatives using identical scale-dependent sampling protocols in multiple grasslands on two continents. Location Thirty-two grassland sites in North America and Australia. Methods We use multiscale observational data, collected identically in grain and extent at each site, to test the association of local and regional factors with the plot-level richness and abundance of native and exotic plants. Sites captured environmental and anthropogenic gradients including land-use intensity, human population density, light and soil resources, climate and elevation. Site selection occurred independently of exotic diversity, meaning that the numbers of exotic species varied randomly thereby reducing potential biases if only highly invaded sites were chosen. Results Regional factors associated directly or indirectly with human activity had the strongest associations with plot-level diversity. These regional drivers had divergent effects: urban-based economic activity was associated with high exotic : native diversity ratios; climate- and landscape-based indicators of lower human population density were associated with low exotic : native ratios. Negative correlations between plot-level native and exotic diversity, a potential signature of competitive interactions, were not prevalent; this result did not change along gradients of productivity or heterogeneity. Main conclusion We show that plot-level diversity of native and exotic plants are more consistently associated with regional-scale factors relating to urbanization and climate suitability than measures indicative of competition. These findings clarify the long-standing difficulty in resolving drivers of exotic diversity using single-factor mechanisms, suggesting that multiple interacting anthropogenic-based processes best explain the accumulation of exotic diversity in modern landscapes.

AB  - Background Aureobasidium pullulans is a black-yeast-like fungus used for production of the polysaccharide pullulan and the antimycotic aureobasidin A, and as a biocontrol agent in agriculture. It can cause opportunistic human infections, and it inhabits various extreme environments. To promote the understanding of these traits, we performed dec-novo genome sequencing of the four varieties of A. pullulans. Results The 25.43-29.62 Mb genomes of these four varieties of A. pullulans encode between 10266 and 11866 predicted proteins. Their genomes encode most of the enzyme families involved in degradation of plant material and many sugar transporters, and they have genes possibly associated with degradation of plastic and aromatic compounds. Proteins believed to be involved in the synthesis of pullulan and siderophores, but not of aureobasidin A, are predicted. Putative stress-tolerance genes include several aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins, large numbers of alkali-metal cation transporters, genes for the synthesis of compatible solutes and melanin, all of the components of the high-osmolarity glycerol pathway, and bacteriorhodopsin-like proteins. All of these genomes contain a homothallic mating-type locus. Conclusions The differences between these four varieties of A. pullulans are large enough to justify their redefinition as separate species: A. pullulans, A. melanogenum, A. subglaciale and A. namibiae. The redundancy observed in several gene families can be linked to the nutritional versatility of these species and their particular stress tolerance. The availability of the genome sequences of the four Aureobasidium species should improve their biotechnological exploitation and promote our understanding of their stress-tolerance mechanisms, diverse lifestyles, and pathogenic potential.

AB  - Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption and has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. We assembled 473 Mb of the 587-Mb genome and genetically anchored 98% of this sequence in 11 chromosome-scale pseudomolecules. We compared the genome for the common bean against the soybean genome to find changes in soybean resulting from polyploidy. Using resequencing of 60 wild individuals and 100 landraces from the genetically differentiated Mesoamerican and Andean gene pools, we confirmed 2 independent domestications from genetic pools that diverged before human colonization. Less than 10% of the 74 Mb of sequence putatively involved in domestication was shared by the two domestication events. We identified a set of genes linked with increased leaf and seed size and combined these results with quantitative trait locus data from Mesoamerican cultivars. Genes affected by domestication may be useful for genomics-enabled crop improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To determine whole-body protein turnover responses to high-protein diets during weight loss, 39 adults (age, 21±1 years; VO2peak, 48±1 ml kg−1 min−1; body mass index, 25±1 kg m2) were randomized to diets providing protein at the recommend dietary allowance (RDA), 2 × -RDA or 3 × -RDA. A 10-day weight maintenance period preceded a 21-day, 40% energy deficit. Postabsorptive (FASTED) and postprandial (FED) whole-body protein turnover was determined during weight maintenance (day 10) and energy deficit (day 31) using [1-13C]leucine. FASTED flux, synthesis and breakdown were lower (P<0.05) for energy deficit than weight maintenance. Protein flux and synthesis were higher (P<0.05) for FED than FASTED. Feeding attenuated (P<0.05) breakdown during weight maintenance but not energy deficit. Oxidation increased (P<0.05) between dietary protein levels and feeding stimulated oxidation, although oxidative responses to feeding were higher (P<0.05) for energy deficit than weight maintenance. FASTED net balance decreased between dietary protein levels, but in the FED state, net balance was lower for 3 × -RDA as compared with RDA and 2 × -RDA (diet-by-state, P<0.05). Consuming dietary protein at levels above the RDA, particularly 3 × -RDA, during short-term weight loss increases protein oxidation with concomitant reductions in net protein balance.

AB  - Cultivated citrus are selections from, or hybrids of, wild progenitor species whose identities and contributions to citrus domestication remain controversial. Here we sequence and compare citrus genomes-a high-quality reference haploid clementine genome and mandarin, pummelo, sweet-orange and sour-orange genomes-and show that cultivated types derive from two progenitor species. Although cultivated pummelos represent selections from one progenitor species, Citrus maxima, cultivated mandarins are introgressions of C. maxima into the ancestral mandarin species Citrus reticulata. The most widely cultivated citrus, sweet orange, is the offspring of previously admixed individuals, but sour orange is an F1 hybrid of pure C. maxima and C. reticulata parents, thus implying that wild mandarins were part of the early breeding germplasm. A Chinese wild 'mandarin' diverges substantially from C. reticulata, thus suggesting the possibility of other unrecognized wild citrus species. Understanding citrus phylogeny through genome analysis clarifies taxonomic relationships and facilitates sequence-directed genetic improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of multicellular sporocarps, and production of coenocytic hyphae, all with some exceptions. Molecular phylogenies based on one or a few genes did not support themonophyly of the phylum, however, and the phylum was subsequently abandoned. Here we present phylogenetic analyses of a genome-scale data set for 46 taxa, including 25 zygomycetes and 192 proteins, and we demonstrate that zygomycetes comprise two major clades that form a paraphyletic grade. A formal phylogenetic classification is proposed herein and includes two phyla, six subphyla, four classes and 16 orders. On the basis of these results, the phyla Mucoromycota and Zoopagomycota are circumscribed. Zoopagomycota comprises Entomophtoromycotina, Kickxellomycotina and Zoopagomycotina; it constitutes the earliest diverging lineage of zygomycetes and contains species that are primarily parasites and pathogens of small animals (e.g. amoeba, insects, etc.) and other fungi, i.e. mycoparasites. Mucoromycota comprises Glomeromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Mucoromycotina and is sister to Dikarya. It is the more derived clade of zygomycetes and mainly consists of mycorrhizal fungi, root endophytes, and decomposers of plant material. Evolution of trophic modes, morphology, and analysis of genome-scale data are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study was conducted to characterize a novel Fusarium species that caused leaf and stem spot on Agapanthus praecox (Agapanthus, African lily) in northern Italy and leaf rot and spot on the same host in Melbourne, Australia. Formally described as Fusarium agapanthi, this pathogen was analyzed using phenotypic, phytopathogenic, secondary metabolite, molecular phylogenetic and genomic data. Five strains were characterized, including one isolated in 1999 from symptomatic A. praecox in Saluzzo, Italy, and four in 2010 from diseased leaf tissue from the same host exhibiting leaf rot and spot symptoms in the Melbourne Gardens, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Australia. Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood molecular phylogenetic analyses of portions of six individual genes and the combined dataset all strongly supported F. agapanthi either as the earliest diverging genealogically exclusive lineage in the American Clade of the F. fujikuroi species complex, or alternatively a novel monotypic lineage sister to the American Clade. Koch's postulates were completed on dwarf blue- and large white-flowering varieties of A. praecox, where two isolates of F. agapanthi produced slowly spreading necrotic lesions when inoculated onto leaves and flower stems. Fusarium agapanthi is distinguished from other fusaria by the production of densely branched aerial conidiophores with polyphialides throughout the aerial mycelium on synthetic nutrient-poor agar. BLASTn searches of the F. agapanthi NRRL 31653 and NRRL 54464 (5 VPRI 41787) genome sequences were conducted to predict sexual reproductive mode and mycotoxin potential. Results indicated that they possessed MAT1-2 and MAT1-1 idiomorphs, respectively, indicating that this species might be heterothallic. Furthermore, based on the presence of homologs of the bikaverin and fusarubin biosynthetic gene clusters in the F. agapanthi genomes, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was conducted and confirmed production of these secondary metabolites in rice and corn kernel cultures of the fungus.

AB  - Canker disease of prickly ash (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) has caused a decline in the production of this economically important spice in northern China in the past 25 y. To identify the etiological agent, 38 fungal isolates were recovered from symptomatic tissues from trees in five provinces in China. These isolates were identified by conducting BLASTN queries of NCBI GenBank and phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS rDNA), a portion of the translation elongation factor 1-a (TEF1) gene, and genes encoding RNA polymerase II largest (RPB1) and second largest (RPB2) subunits. Results of these analyses suggested that 30/38 isolates belonged to two novel fusaria most closely related to the Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia Arn.) pathogen, Fusarium torreyae in Florida and Georgia. These three canker-inducing tree pathogens form a novel clade within Fusarium here designated the F. torreyae species complex (FTOSC). BLASTN queries of GenBank also revealed that 5/38 isolates recovered from cankers represented an undescribed phylogenetic species within the F. solani species complex (FSSC) designated FSSC 6. Stem inoculations of three fusaria on Z. bungeanum resulted in consistent canker symptoms from which these three fusaria were recovered. The two novel fusaria, however, induced significantly larger lesions than FSSC 6. Herein, the two novel prickly ash pathogens are formally described as F. zanthoxyli and F. continuum.

AB  - We assessed the nutritional strategy of true morels (genus Morchella) collected in 2003 and 2004 in Oregon and Alaska, 1 or 2 y after forest fires. We hypothesized that the patterns of stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in the sporocarps would match those of saprotrophic fungi and that radiocarbon (Δ14C) analyses would indicate that Morchella was assimilating old carbon not current-year photosynthate. We compared radiocarbon and stable isotopes in Morchella with values from concurrently collected foliage, the ectomycorrhizal Geopyxis carbonaria (Alb. & Schwein.) Sacc., the saprotrophic Plicaria endocarpoides (Berk.) Rifai, and with literature to determine isotopic values for ectomycorrhizal or saprotrophic fungi. Geopyxis, Plicaria and Morchella, respectively, were 3‰, 5‰and 6‰ higher in 13C than foliage and 5‰, 7‰ and 7‰ higher in 15N. High 15N enrichment in Morchella indicated that recent litter was not the primary source for Morchella nitrogen, and similar 13C and 15N enrichments to Plicaria suggest that Morchella assimilates its carbon and nitrogen from the same source pool as this saprotrophic fungus. From radiocarbon analyses Morchella averaged 11 ± 6 y old (n = 19), Plicaria averaged 17 ± 5 y old (n = 3), foliage averaged 1 ± 2 y old (n = 8) and Geopyxis (n = 1) resembled foliage in Δ14C. We conclude that morels fruiting in post-fire environments in our study assimilated old carbon and were saprotrophic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We investigated whether nonelderly US adults (aged 18-64 years) in food-insecure households are more likely to report cost-related medication underuse than the food-secure, and whether the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse differs by gender, chronic disease, and health insurance status. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2011 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (n = 67 539). We examined the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse with the χ² test and multivariate logistic regression with interaction terms. Results. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed a dose-response relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse, with an increasing likelihood of cost-related medication underuse with increasing severity of food insecurity (P<.001). This association was conditional on health insurance status, but not substantially different by gender or chronic disease status. Being female, low-income, having no or partial health insurance, chronic conditions, functional limitations, or severe mental illness were positively associated with cost-related medication underuse. Conclusions. Using food insecurity as a risk factor to assess cost-related medication underuse could help increase identification of individuals who may need assistance purchasing medications and improve health for those in food-insecure households.

AB  - Condensed distillers solubles (CDS) was fractionated into a protein-mineral fraction and a glycerol fraction by a chemical method; protein and glycerol-mineral fractions by a physical method; and protein, mineral, and glycerol fractions by a physicochemical method. The co-products from each method, along with CDS, were characterized for concentrations of key constituents (protein, oil, ash, glycerol and other carbohydrates), mineral profile, and amino acid composition. Recovery of mass and main constituents was also investigated. With the chemical method, about two-third of the mass went to the protein-mineral fraction, while by the physical method the equal amounts of mass went to the protein and glycerol-mineral fractions. Protein, minerals, and glycerol were mostly recovered into their respective fractions. CDS and its fractions contained six major minerals (Ca, Mg, P, K, Na, and S) and four trace ones (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn). Both chemical and physical treatments caused significant reduction of mineral contents (dry matter basis) in the protein or glycerol fraction. Several amino acids differed significantly in percent relative to total amino acids among fractions but the extent was not substantial for protein-rich fractions. These changes resulting from CDS fractionation are favorable for value added utilization of the new co-products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Eucalypts are the world's most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest proportion thus far in plant genomes. Eucalyptus also shows the highest diversity of genes for specialized metabolites such as terpenes that act as chemical defence and provide unique pharmaceutical oils. Genome sequencing of the E. grandis sister species E. globulus and a set of inbred E. grandis tree genomes reveals dynamic genome evolution and hotspots of inbreeding depression. The E. grandis genome is the first reference for the eudicot order Myrtales and is placed here sister to the eurosids. This resource expands our understanding of the unique biology of large woody perennials and provides a powerful tool to accelerate comparative biology, breeding and biotechnology.

AB  - LEGO bricks are commercially available interlocking pieces of plastic that are conventionally used as toys. We describe their use to build engineered environments for cm-scale biological systems, in particular plant roots. Specifically, we take advantage of the unique modularity of these building blocks to create inexpensive, transparent, reconfigurable, and highly scalable environments for plant growth in which structural obstacles and chemical gradients can be precisely engineered to mimic soil.

AB  - Objective: The goals of this research was (1) to analyze the role of emotional eating behavior on weight-loss progression during a 30-week weight-loss program in 1,272 individuals from a large Mediterranean population and (2) to test for interaction between CLOCK 3111 T/C SNP and emotional eating behavior on the effectiveness of the weight-loss program. Design and Methods: A total of 1,272 overweight and obese participants (BMI: 31±5 kg/m2), aged 20 to 65 years, attending outpatient weight-loss clinics were recruited for this analysis. Emotional eating behavior was assessed by the Emotional Eating Questionnaire (EEQ), a questionnaire validated for overweight and obese Spanish subjects. Anthropometric measures, dietary intake and weight-loss progression were assessed and analyzed throughout the 30-week program. Multivariate analysis and linear regression models were performed to test for gene-environment interaction. Results: Weight-loss progression during the 30-week program differed significantly according to the degree of emotional eating behavior. Participants classified as ‘very emotional eaters’ experienced more irregular (P = 0.007) weight-loss, with a lower rate of weight decline (−0.002 vs. −0.003, P<0.05) in comparison with less emotional eaters. The percentage of weight-loss was also significantly higher in ‘non-emotional eaters’ (P = 0.009). Additionally, we identified a significant gene-environment interaction associated with weight-loss at the CLOCK 3111 T/C locus (P = 0.017). By dichotomizing the emotional eating behavior score, linear regression analysis indicated that minor C allele carriers with a high emotional score (> = 11), lost significantly less weight than those C carriers with a low emotional score (<11) (P = 0.005). Conclusions: Emotional eating behavior associates with weight-loss pattern, progression and total weight-loss. Additionally, CLOCK 3111 T/C SNP interacts with emotional eating behavior to modulate total weight loss. These results suggest that the assessment of this locus and emotional eating behavior could improve the development of effective, long-tern weight-management interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Powdery mildew of hop ( Podosphaera macularis) may cause economic loss due to reductions in cone yield and quality. Quantitative estimates of crop damage from powdery mildew remain poorly characterized, especially the effect of late season disease management on crop yield and quality. Field studies in Washington State evaluated cone yield, bittering acid content and quality factors when fungicide applications were ceased at different stages of cone development. The incidence of cones with powdery mildew was linearly correlated with yield of cones, bittering acids and accelerated cone maturation. In cultivar Galena, the cumulative effect of every 1% increase in cones powdery mildew incidence was to reduce alpha-acid yield by 0·33%, which was due to direct effects on cone yield but also indirect effects mediated by dry matter. In the more susceptible cultivar Zeus, alpha-acid yield was increased 20% by controlling powdery mildew through the transition of bloom to early cone development compared to ceasing fungicide applications at bloom: additional applications provided only modest improvements in alpha-acid yield. In both cultivars, the impact of powdery mildew on aroma characteristics and bittering acid content were less substantial than cone yield. The damage caused by powdery mildew to cone colour and alpha-acid yield, as well as the effectiveness of fungicide applications made to manage the disease, appears inseparably linked to dry matter content of cones at harvest. Realising achievable yield potential in these cultivars requires control of the disease through early stages of cone development and harvest before maturity exceeds c. 25% dry matter.

AB  - Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst), is a serious disease of wheat occurring in most wheat areas with cool and moist weather conditions during the growing season. The basidiomycete fungus is an obligate biotrophic parasite that is difficult to culture on artificial media. Pst is a macrocyclic, heteroecious fungus that requires both primary (wheat or grasses) and alternate ( Berberis or Mahonia spp.) host plants to complete its life cycle. Urediniospores have the capacity for wind dispersal over long distances, which may, under high inoculum pressure, extend to thousands of kilometres from the initial infection sites. Stripe rust, which is considered to be the current major rust disease affecting winter cereal production across the world, has been studied intensively for over a century. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the Pst-wheat pathosystem, with emphasis on the life cycle, uredinial infection process, population biology of the pathogen, genes for stripe rust resistance in wheat and molecular perspectives of wheat- Pst interactions. Taxonomy The stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis  Westend. ( Ps), is classified in kingdom Fungi, phylum Basidiomycota, class Urediniomycetes, order Uredinales, family Pucciniaceae, genus Puccinia. Ps is separated below the species level by host specialization on various grass genera, comprising up to nine formae speciales, of which P. striiformis f. sp. tritici  Erikss. ( Pst) causes stripe (or yellow) rust on wheat. Host range Uredinial/telial hosts: Pst mainly infects common wheat ( Triticum aestivum  L.), durum wheat ( T. turgidum var. durum  L.), cultivated emmer wheat ( T. dicoccum  Schrank), wild emmer wheat ( T. dicoccoides  Korn) and triticale ( Triticosecale). Pst can infect certain cultivated barleys ( Hordeum vulgare  L.) and rye ( Secale cereale  L.), but generally does not cause severe epidemics. In addition, Pst may infect naturalized and improved pasture grass species, such as Elymus canadensis  L., Leymus secalinus  Hochst, Agropyron spp. Garetn, Hordeum spp. L., Phalaris spp. L and Bromus unioloides  Kunth. Pycnial/aecial (alternative) hosts: Barberry ( Berberis chinensis, B. koreana, B. holstii, B. vulgaris, B. shensiana, B. potaninii, B. dolichobotrys, B. heteropoda, etc.) and Oregon grape ( Mahonia aquifolium). Disease symptoms Stripe rust appears as a mass of yellow to orange urediniospores erupting from pustules arranged in long, narrow stripes on leaves (usually between veins), leaf sheaths, glumes and awns on susceptible plants. Resistant wheat cultivars are characterized by various infection types from no visual symptoms to small hypersensitive flecks to uredinia surrounded by chlorosis or necrosis with restricted urediniospore production. On seedlings, uredinia produced by the infection of a single urediniospore are not confined by leaf veins, but progressively emerge from the infection site in all directions, potentially covering the entire leaf surface. Individual uredinial pustules are oblong, 0.4-0.7 mm in length and 0.1 mm in width. Urediniospores are broadly ellipsoidal to broadly obovoid, (16-)18-30(-32) × (15-)17-27(-28) μm, with a mean of 24.5 × 21.6 μm, yellow to orange in colour, echinulate, and with 6-18 scattered germ pores. Urediniospores can germinate rapidly when free moisture (rain or dew) occurs on leaf surfaces and when the temperatures range is between 7 and 12 °C. At higher temperatures or during the later growing stages of the host, black telia are often produced, which are pulvinate to oblong, 0.2-0.7 mm in length and 0.1 mm in width. The teliospores are predominantly two-celled, dark brown with thick walls, mostly oblong-clavate, (24-)31-56(-65) × (11-)14-25(-29) μm in length and width, and rounded or flattened at the apex.

AB  - Grasses, such as Zea mays L. (maize), contain relatively high levels of p -coumarates ( pCA) within their cell walls. Incorporation of pCA into cell walls is believed to be due to a hydroxycinnamyl transferase that couples pCA to monolignols. To understand the role of pCA in maize development, the p -coumaroyl CoA:hydroxycinnamyl alcohol transferase ( pCAT) was isolated and purified from maize stems. Purified pCAT was subjected to partial trypsin digestion, and peptides were sequenced by tandem mass spectrometry. TBLASTN analysis of the acquired peptide sequences identified a single full-length maize cDNA clone encoding all the peptide sequences obtained from the purified enzyme. The cDNA clone was obtained and used to generate an RNAi construct for suppressing pCAT expression in maize. Here we describe the effects of suppression of pCAT in maize. Primary screening of transgenic maize seedling leaves using a new rapid analytical platform was used to identify plants with decreased amounts of pCA. Using this screening method, mature leaves from fully developed plants were analyzed, confirming reduced pCA levels throughout plant development. Complete analysis of isolated cell walls from mature transgenic stems and leaves revealed that lignin levels did not change, but pCA levels decreased and the lignin composition was altered. Transgenic plants with the lowest levels of pCA had decreased levels of syringyl units in the lignin. Thus, altering the levels of pCAT expression in maize leads to altered lignin composition, but does not appear to alter the total amount of lignin present in the cell walls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We describe a simple, inexpensive, but remarkably versatile and controlled growth environment for the observation of plant germination and seedling root growth on a flat, horizontal surface over periods of weeks. The setup provides to each plant a controlled humidity (between 56% and 91% RH), and contact with both nutrients and atmosphere. The flat and horizontal geometry of the surface supporting the roots eliminates the gravitropic bias on their development and facilitates the imaging of the entire root system. Experiments can be setup under sterile conditions and then transferred to a non-sterile environment. The system can be assembled in 1-2 minutes, costs approximately 8.78$ per plant, is almost entirely reusable (0.43$ per experiment in disposables), and is easily scalable to a variety of plants. We demonstrate the performance of the system by germinating, growing, and imaging Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Corn (Zea mays), and Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica rapa). Germination rates were close to those expected for optimal conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To determine whether metabolic syndrome traits influence the postprandial lipemia response of coronary patients, and whether this influence depends on the number of MetS criteria. Materials and Methods: 1002 coronary artery disease patients from the CORDIOPREV study were submitted to an oral fat load test meal with 0.7 g fat/kg body weight (12% saturated fatty acids, 10% polyunsaturated fatty acids, 43% monounsaturated fatty acids), 10% protein and 25% carbohydrates. Serial blood test analyzing lipid fractions were drawn at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours during the postprandial state. Total and incremental area under the curves of the different postprandial parameters were calculated following the trapezoid rule to assess the magnitude of change during the postprandial state Results: Postprandial lipemia response was directly related to the presence of metabolic syndrome. We found a positive association between the number of metabolic syndrome criteria and the response of postprandial plasma triglycerides (p<0.001), area under the curve of triglycerides (p<0.001) and incremental area under the curve of triglycerides (p<0.001). However, the influence of them on postprandial triglycerides remained statistically significant only in those patients without basal hypertriglyceridemia. Interestingly, in stepwise multiple linear regression analysis with the AUC of triglycerides as the dependent variable, only fasting triglycerides, fasting glucose and waist circumference appeared as significant independent (P<0.05) contributors. The multiple lineal regression (R) was 0.77, and fasting triglycerides showed the greatest effect on AUC of triglycerides with a standardized coefficient of 0.75. Conclusions: Fasting triglycerides are the major contributors to the postprandial triglycerides levels. MetS influences the postprandial response of lipids in patients with coronary heart disease, particularly in non-hypertriglyceridemic patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Recent work has shown that Fusarium species and genotypes most commonly associated with human infections, particularly of the cornea (mycotic keratitis), are the same as those most commonly isolated from plumbing systems. The species most dominant in plumbing biofilms is Fusarium keratoplasticum, a cosmopolitan fungus known almost exclusively from animal infections and biofilms. To better understand its diversity and population dynamics, we developed and utilized a nine-locus sequence-based typing system to make inferences about clonality, recombination, population structure, species boundaries and hybridization. Results High levels of genetic diversity and evidence for recombination and clonality were detected among 75 clinical and 156 environmental isolates of Fusarium keratoplasticum. The multilocus sequence typing system (MLST) resolved 111 unique nine-locus sequence types (STs). The single locus bifactorial determinants of mating compatibility (mating types MAT1-1 and MAT1-2), were found in a ratio of 70:30. All but one of the 49 isolates of the most common ST (FSSC 2d-2) came from human infections, mostly of the cornea, and from biofilms associated with contact lenses and plumbing surfaces. Significant levels of phylogenetic incongruence were found among loci. Putative clonal relationships among genotypes were estimated, showing a mixture of large clonal complexes and unrelated singletons. Discordance between the nuclear ribosomal rRNA and other gene genealogies is consistent with introgression of ribosomal RNA alleles of phylogenetic species FSSC 9 into F. keratoplasticum. No significant population subdivision based on clinical versus non-clinical sources was found. Conclusions Incongruent phylogenetic trees and the presence of both mating types within otherwise identical STs were observed, providing evidence for sexuality in F. keratoplasticum. Cryptic speciation suggested in a published three-locus MLST system was not supported with the addition of new loci, but evidence of introgression of ribosomal RNA genes from another strongly supported phylogenetic species (FSSC 9), also known from plumbing systems and human infections, was detected in two isolates. Overall, F. keratoplasticum is a diverse and geographically unstructured species with a mixed clonal and recombinant life history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Direct analysis in real time (DART) ionisation coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (MS) was used for screening of aflatoxins from a variety of surfaces and the rapid quantitative analysis of a common form of aflatoxin, AFB1, extracted from corn. Sample preparation procedure and instrument parameter settings were optimised to obtain sensitive and accurate determination of aflatoxin AFB1. 84:16 acetonitrile water extracts of corn were analysed by DART-MS. The lowest calibration level (LCL) for aflatoxin AFB1 was 4 μg kg–1. Quantitative analysis was performed with the use of matrix-matched standards employing the13C-labelled internal standard for AFB1. DART-MS of spiked corn extracts gave linear response in the range 4–1000 μg kg–1. Good recoveries (94–110%) and repeatabilities (RSD = 0.7–6.9%) were obtained at spiking levels of 20 and 100 μg kg–1with the use of an isotope dilution technique. Trueness of data obtained for AFB1 in maize by DART-MS was demonstrated by analysis of corn certified reference materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mixia osmundae ( Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina) represents a monotypic class containing an unusual fern pathogen with incompletely understood biology. We sequenced and analyzed the genome of M. osmundae, focusing on genes that may provide some insight into its mode of pathogenicity and reproductive biology., Mixia osmundae has the smallest plant pathogenic basidiomycete genome sequenced to date, at 13.6 Mb, with very few repeats, high gene density, and relatively few significant gene family gains., The genome shows that the yeast state of M. osmundae is haploid and the lack of segregation of mating genes suggests that the spores produced on Osmunda spp. fronds are probably asexual. However, our finding of a complete complement of mating and meiosis genes suggests the capacity to undergo sexual reproduction. Analyses of carbohydrate active enzymes suggest that this fungus is a biotroph with the ability to break down several plant cell wall components., Analyses of publicly available sequence data show that other Mixia members may exist on other plant hosts and with a broader distribution than previously known.

AB  - Objectives. We estimated the association between the price of healthy and less-healthy food groups and blood sugar among US adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods. We linked 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey health information to food prices contained in the Quarterly Food-at- Home Price Database. We regressed blood sugar levels on food prices from the previous calendar quarter, controlling for market region and a range of other covariates. We also examined whether the association between food prices and blood sugar varies among different income groups. Results. The prices of produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, higher prices for produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose 3 months later. Food prices had a greater association with blood sugar for low-income people than for higher-income people, and in the expected direction. Conclusions. Higher prices of healthy foods were associated with increased blood sugar among people with type 2 diabetes. The association was especially pronounced among low-income people with type 2 diabetes.

AB  - Objectives. This study investigated if the type of drinking water source (treated municipal, untreated municipal, and private well water) modifies the effect of hydrology on childhood (aged < 5 years) gastrointestinal illness. Methods. We conducted a time series study to assess the relationship between hydrologic and weather conditions with childhood gastrointestinal illness from 1991 to 2010. The Central and Northern Wisconsin study area includes households using all 3 types of drinking water systems. Separate time series models were created for each system and half-year period (winter/spring, summer/fall). Results. More precipitation (summer/fall) systematically increased childhood gastrointestinal illness in municipalities accessing untreated water. The relative risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness was 1.4 in weeks with 3 centimeters of precipitation and 2.4 in very wet weeks with 12 centimeters of precipitation. By contrast, gastrointestinal illness in private well and treated municipal areas was not influenced by hydrologic conditions, although warmer winter temperatures slightly increased incidence. Conclusions. Our study suggests that improved drinking water protection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure may improve public health by specifically identifying municipal water systems lacking water treatment that may transmit waterborne disease.

AB  - Penicillium expansum, the causal agent of blue mould of pome fruits, is a major postharvest pathogen in all producing countries. To develop a better understanding of disease resistance mechanisms in apples, a comprehensive transcriptional analysis of apple gene expression in response to a compatible ( P. expansum) and non-host ( Penicillium digitatum) pathogen was conducted using an apple microarray of approximately 40,000 probes. The resulting data provide further evidence that apples inoculated with P. expansum exhibit significant upregulation of defense-related genes and genes involved in detoxification of reactive oxygen species. In contrast, apples inoculated with P. digitatum, a non-host pathogen, exhibited upregulation of genes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism. To confirm the accuracy of the expression profiles obtained with the microarray, reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was conducted for four genes specifically in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Expression data was obtained for different time points and fruit maturity stages. The highest expression level of the phenylpropanoid genes was detected 48 h after inoculation with P. expansum in both immature and mature apples. These results support the hypothesis that apples respond in a complex and diverse manner to the compatible compared to the non-host pathogen. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in apple fruit that has conducted an analysis of global changes in gene expression in response to a compatible ( P. expansum) and non-host ( P. digitatum) pathogen.

AB  - In single crystals of YbCoZn intermetallic compound, two coexisting types of electron spin resonance signals related to the localized magnetic moments of cobalt and to itinerant electrons have been observed in the 4.2-300 K temperature range. It is shown that the relative contribution of itinerant electrons to the total magnetization does not exceed 9%. We argue that the electron dynamics in YbCoZn and YbCuAl heavy fermion systems is determined by the effects produced by the magnetic subsystem of the localized 3 d-electrons. We also discuss general aspects of the electron spin resonance spectroscopy in underdoped ytterbium-based intermetallics and the spectral manifestations of the interplay between the efficiency of the hybridization of f-electrons with the electrons filling outer atomic shells, crystal field effects, and the effects related to the proximity to the quantum critical point.

AB  - Formation of galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols has been shown to be induced by leaf homogenization, mechanical wounding, avirulent bacterial infection and thawing after snap-freezing. Here, lipidomic analysis using mass spectrometry showed that galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols, formed in wheat ( Triticum aestivum) and tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum) leaves upon wounding, have acyl-galactose profiles that differ from those of wounded Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating that different plant species accumulate different acyl-galactose components in response to the same stress. Additionally, the composition of the acyl-galactose component of Arabidopsis acMGDG (galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerol) depends on the stress treatment. After sub-lethal freezing treatment, acMGDG contained mainly non-oxidized fatty acids esterified to galactose, whereas mostly oxidized fatty acids accumulated on galactose after wounding or bacterial infection. Compositional data are consistent with acMGDG being formed in vivo by transacylation with fatty acids from digalactosyldiacylglycerols. Oxophytodienoic acid, an oxidized fatty acid, was more concentrated on the galactosyl ring of acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols than in galactolipids in general. Also, oxidized fatty acid-containing acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols increased cumulatively when wounded Arabidopsis leaves were wounded again. These findings suggest that, in Arabidopsis, the pool of galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols may serve to sequester oxidized fatty acids during stress responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) has been implicated with damaging photosystem II (PSII) that needs to undergo continuous repair to maintain photosynthetic electron transport. In addition to its damaging effect, 1O2 has also been shown to act as a signal that triggers stress acclimation and an enhanced stress resistance. A signaling role of 1O2 was first documented in the fluorescent (flu) mutant of Arabidopsis. It strictly depends on the chloroplast protein EXECUTER1 (EX1) and happens under nonphotoinhibitory light conditions. Under severe light stress, signaling is initiated independently of EX1 by 1O2 that is thought to be generated at the acceptor side of active PSII within the core of grana stacks. The results of the present study suggest a second source of 1O2 formation in grana margins close to the site of chlorophyll synthesis where EX1 is localized and the disassembly of damaged and reassembly of active PSII take place. The initiation of 1O2 signaling in grana margins depends on EX1 and the ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease FtsH. As FtsH cleaves also the D1 protein during the disassembly of damaged PSII, EX1- and 1O2-mediated signaling seems to be not only spatially but also functionally associated with the repair of PSII.

AB  - A near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system was used to predict viability and vigor (in term of germination periods) in muskmelon seeds. Hyperspectral images of muskmelon seeds were acquired using a NIR push-broom HSI system covering the spectral range of 948–2494 nm. After NIR spectra collection, all seeds underwent a germination test to confirm their viability and vigor. The spectra from seeds with 3 and 5 germination days and nongerminated seeds were further used for development of a classification model of partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA). Most effective wavelengths were selected using three model-based variable selection methods, i.e., variable important in projection (VIP), selectivity ratio (SR), and significance multivariate correlation (sMC), which selected 23, 18, and 19 optimal variables, respectively, from full set of 208 variables. The selected variables from different waveband selection methods were found genuine and significant for interpreting the prediction results of seed viability and vigor. Subsequently, the PLS-DA model was constructed using individual VIP-, SR-, or sMC-selected variables. The results demonstrated that the PLSDA model developed with the selected optimal variables from the different methods provided comparable results for the calibration set; however, the PLSDA-SR method afforded the highest classification accuracy (94.6%) for a validation set used to determine the viability and vigor of muskmelon seeds. The wavelengths selected by the different methods represents chemical components of the seed and the attribute of germination ability was chosen most often. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Insect kinins (leucokinins) are multifunctional peptides acting as neurohormones and neurotransmitters. In females of the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti (L.), aedeskinins are known to stimulate fluid secretion from the renal organs (Malpighian tubules) and hindgut contractions by activating a G protein-coupled kinin receptor designated "Aedae-KR." We used protease-resistant kinin analogs 1728, 1729, and 1460 to evaluate their effects on sucrose perception and feeding behavior. In no-choice feeding bioassays (capillary feeder and plate assays), the analog 1728, which contains α-amino isobutyric acid, inhibited females from feeding on sucrose. It further induced quick fly-away or walk-away behavior following contact with the tarsi and the mouthparts. Electrophysiological recordings from single long labellar sensilla of the proboscis demonstrated that mixing the analog 1728 at 1 mM with sucrose almost completely inhibited the detection of sucrose. Aedae-KR was immunolocalized in contact chemosensory neurons in prothoracic tarsi and in sensory neurons and accessory cells of long labellar sensilla in the distal labellum. Silencing Aedae-KR by RNAi significantly reduced gene expression and eliminated the feeding-aversion behavior resulting from contact with the analog 1728, thus directly implicating the Aedae-KR in the aversion response. To our knowledge, this is the first report that kinin analogs modulate sucrose perception in any insect. The aversion to feeding elicited by analog 1728 suggests that synthetic molecules targeting the mosquito Aedae-KR in the labellum and tarsi should be investigated for the potential to discover novel feeding deterrents of mosquito vectors.

AB  - Summary Plants and fungi use light and other signals to regulate development, growth, and metabolism. The fruiting bodies of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus are single cells that react to environmental cues, including light, but the mechanisms are largely unknown [ 1 ]. The related fungus Mucor circinelloides is an opportunistic human pathogen that changes its mode of growth upon receipt of signals from the environment to facilitate pathogenesis [ 2 ]. Understanding how these organisms respond to environmental cues should provide insights into the mechanisms of sensory perception and signal transduction by a single eukaryotic cell, and their role in pathogenesis. We sequenced the genomes of P. blakesleeanus and M. circinelloides and show that they have been shaped by an extensive genome duplication or, most likely, a whole-genome duplication (WGD), which is rarely observed in fungi [ 3–6 ]. We show that the genome duplication has expanded gene families, including those involved in signal transduction, and that duplicated genes have specialized, as evidenced by differences in their regulation by light. The transcriptional response to light varies with the developmental stage and is still observed in a photoreceptor mutant of P. blakesleeanus . A phototropic mutant of P. blakesleeanus with a heterozygous mutation in the photoreceptor gene madA demonstrates that photosensor dosage is important for the magnitude of signal transduction. We conclude that the genome duplication provided the means to improve signal transduction for enhanced perception of environmental signals. Our results will help to understand the role of genome dynamics in the evolution of sensory perception in eukaryotes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The pre-market environmental risk assessment ( ERA) of regulated products such as genetically modified organisms, plant protection products and feed additives is an important process to safeguard the desired level of protection of the environment and biodiversity. ERA evaluates the potential adverse effects on the environment of certain actions, and is an important analytical scientific tool to support regulatory decision-making. Significant advances have been made in the field in recent years. Potential avenues to the further advancement of ERA of regulated products under EFSA's remit were discussed during the breakout session 'Advancing environmental risk assessment' held at the EFSA 2nd Scientific Conference 'Shaping the Future of Food Safety, Together' (Milan, Italy, 14-16 October 2015). The value of ERA and its relevance to decision-making can be increased by: (1) using the ecosystem services approach to make protection goals operational; (2) relying on problem formulation to enhance the relevance of ERA studies; (3) complying with quality standards to warrant the reliability of ERA studies; (4) making ERA more contextual by accounting for multiple stressors and environmental benefits; and (5) acknowledging the strengths and limitations of post-market environmental monitoring as a tool to resolve scientific uncertainties.

AB  - Gut apical amino acid (AA) transport activity is high at birth and during suckling, thus being essential to maintain luminal nutrient-dependent mucosal growth through providing AA as essential metabolic fuel, substrates and nutrient stimuli for cellular growth. Because system-B Na-neutral AA co-transporter (BAT1, encoded by the SLC6A19 gene) plays a dominant role for apical uptake of large neutral AA including l-Gln, we hypothesized that high apical Na-Gln co-transport activity, and BAT1 (SLC6A19) in co-expression with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) were expressed along the entire small intestinal crypt-villus axis in young animals via unique control mechanisms. Kinetics of Na-Gln co-transport activity in the apical membrane vesicles, prepared from epithelial cells sequentially isolated along the jejunal crypt-villus axis from liquid formula-fed young pigs, were measured with the membrane potential being clamped to zero using thiocyanate. Apical maximal Na-Gln co-transport activity was much higher ( p < 0.05) in the upper villus cells than in the middle villus (by 29 %) and the crypt (by 30 %) cells, whereas Na-Gln co-transport affinity was lower ( p < 0.05) in the upper villus cells than in the middle villus and the crypt cells. The BAT1 (SLC6A19) mRNA abundance was lower ( p < 0.05) in the crypt (by 40-47 %) than in the villus cells. There were no significant differences in BAT1 and ACE2 protein abundances on the apical membrane among the upper villus, the middle villus and the crypt cells. Our study suggests that piglet fast growth is associated with very high intestinal apical Na-neutral AA uptake activities via abundantly co-expressing BAT1 and ACE2 proteins in the apical membrane and by transcribing the BAT1 (SLC6A19) gene in the epithelia along the entire crypt-villus axis.

AB  - Reinforced latex rubbers were fabricated by incorporating small amount of nanoparticles as interface modifier. The rubbers were fabricated in a compression mold at 130°C. The incorporated nanoparticles were prepared from wheat protein (gliadin) and ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECA). These nanoparticles were disintegrated to the constituent amphiphilic block copolymers while mixing with latex suspension and adsorbed on the surface of latex particles. The disintegration of nanoparticles and adsorption of the constituent amphiphilic block copolymers on the surface of latex particles were investigated by dynamic light scattering. The improved mechanical properties of the produced reinforced latex rubbers were characterized by mechanical analysis (stress–strain) and hardness test. Incorporation of nanoparticle into latex improved most of the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, % elongation, energy at break, and toughness by 30% to 300%. On the other hand, tensile modulus and hardness were not much affected by the incorporation of nanoparticles. This research showed that the optimum percentage of nanoparticle is 2%, and the optimum gliadin:ECA weight ratio is 3:1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genetic markers for sheep resistance to gastrointestinal parasites have long been sought by the livestock industry as a way to select more resistant individuals and to help farmers reduce parasite transmission by identifying and removing high egg shedders from the flock. Polymorphisms related to the major histocompatibility complex and interferon (IFN)-γ genes have been the most frequently reported markers associated with infection. Recently, a new picture is emerging from genome-wide studies, showing that not only immune mechanisms are important determinants of host resistance but that gastrointestinal mucus production and hemostasis pathways may also play a role.

AB  - The reaction of CoCl2 ·THF and thallium tris(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenylborate (TlToM) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) provides ToMCoCl ( 1) in 95 % yield; however, appropriate solvents and starting materials are required to favor 1 over two other readily formed side-products, (ToM)2Co ( 2) and {HToM}CoCl2 ( 3). ESR, NMR, FTIR, and UV/Vis spectroscopies were used to distinguish these cobalt(II) products and probe their electronic and structural properties. Even after the structures indicated by these methods were confirmed by X-ray crystallography, the spectroscopic identification of trace contaminants in the material was challenging. The recognition of possible contaminants in the synthesis of ToMCoCl in combination with the paramagnetic nature of these complexes provided impetus for the utilization of X-ray powder diffraction to measure the purity of the ToMCoCl bulk sample. The X-ray powder diffraction results provide support for the bulk-phase purity of ToMCoCl in preparations that avoid 2 and 3. Thus, 1 is a precursor for new [tris(oxazolinyl)borato]cobalt chemistry, as exemplified by its reactions with KO tBu and NaOAc to give ToMCoO tBu ( 4) and ToMCoOAc ( 5), respectively. Compound 5 is a catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid ( mCPBA), and the rate constants and selectivity for cyclohexanol versus cyclohexanone and ε-caprolactone were assessed.

AB  - This study aimed to characterize alterations in select eicosanoids in experimental and human pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and to assess their potential utility as predictors of outcome. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we performed targeted lipidomic analyses of the lungs and right ventricles (RVs) of chronically hypoxic rats and plasma of consecutive PAH patients and healthy controls. In rat lungs, chronic hypoxia was associated with significantly decreased lung prostacyclin (PGI2)/thromboxane B2 (TXB2) ratio and elevated lung 8-hydroxyeicosanoid (HETE) acid concentrations. RV eicosanoids did not exhibit any changes with chronic hypoxia. PAH treatment-naïve patients had significantly increased plasma concentrations of TXB2 and 5-, 8-, 12-, and 15-HETE. The PGI2/TXB2 ratio was lower in PAH patients than in controls, especially in the treatment-naïve cohort (median: 2.1, 0.3, and 1.3 in controls, treatment-naïve, and treated patients, respectively, P = 0.001). Survival was significantly worse in PAH patients with 12-HETEhigh (≥57 pg/mL) and 15-HETEhigh (≥256 pg/mL) in unadjusted and adjusted analyses (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.8 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-7.3], P = 0.04 and HR: 4.3 [95% CI: 1.6-11.8], P = 0.004, respectively; adjustment was performed with the REVEAL [Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-Term PAH Disease Management] risk score). We demonstrate significant alterations in eicosanoid pathways in experimental and human PAH. We found that 12- and 15-HETE were independent predictors of survival in human PAH, even after adjusting for the REVEAL score, suggesting their potential role as novel biomarkers.

AB  - Campylobacter fetus currently comprises three recognized subspecies, which display distinct host association. C. fetus subsp. fetus and C. fetus subsp. venerealis are both associated with endothermic mammals, primarily ruminants, whereas C. fetus subsp. testudinum is primarily associated with ectothermic reptiles. Both C. fetus subsp. testudinum and C. fetus subsp. fetus have been associated with severe infections, often with a systemic component, in immunocompromised humans. To study the genetic factors associated with the distinct host dichotomy in C. fetus, whole-genome sequencing and comparison of mammal- and reptile-associated C. fetus was performed. The genomes of C. fetus subsp. testudinum isolated from either reptiles or humans were compared to elucidate the genetic factors associated with pathogenicity in humans. Genomic comparisons showed conservation of gene content and organization amongst C. fetus subspecies, but a clear distinction between mammal- and reptile-associated C. fetus was observed. Several genomic regions appeared to be subspecies specific, including a putative tricarballylate catabolism pathway, exclusively present in C. fetus subsp. testudinum strains. Within C. fetus subsp. testudinum, sapA, sapB, and sapAB type strains were observed. The recombinant locus iamABC (mlaFED) was exclusively associated with invasive C. fetus subsp. testudinum strains isolated from humans. A phylogenetic reconstruction was consistent with divergent evolution in host-associated strains and the existence of a barrier to lateral gene transfer between mammal- and reptile-associated C. fetus. Overall, this study shows that reptile-associated C. fetus subsp. testudinum is genetically divergent from mammal-associated C. fetus subspecies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plant perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and other environmental stresses trigger transient ion fluxes at the plasma membrane. Apart from the role of Ca2+ uptake in signaling, the regulation and significance of PAMP-induced ion fluxes in immunity remain unknown. We characterized the functions of INTEGRIN-LINKED KINASE1 (ILK1) that encodes a Raf-like MAP2K kinase with functions insufficiently understood in plants. Analysis of ILK1 mutants impaired in the expression or kinase activity revealed that ILK1 contributes to plant defense to bacterial pathogens, osmotic stress sensitivity, and cellular responses and total ion accumulation in the plant upon treatment with a bacterial-derived PAMP, flg22. The calmodulin-like protein CML9, a negative modulator of flg22-triggered immunity, interacted with, and suppressed ILK1 kinase activity. ILK1 interacted with and promoted the accumulation of HAK5, a putative (H+)/K+ symporter that mediates a high-affinity uptake during K+ deficiency. ILK1 or HAK5 expression was required for several flg22 responses including gene induction, growth arrest, and plasma membrane depolarization. Furthermore, flg22 treatment induced a rapid K+ efflux at both the plant and cellular levels in wild type, while mutants with impaired ILK1 or HAK5 expression exhibited a comparatively increased K+ loss. Taken together, our results position ILK1 as a link between plant defense pathways and K+ homeostasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metal nanoparticles (NPs) loaded on oxides have been widely used as multifunctional nanomaterials in various fields such as optical imaging, sensors, and heterogeneous catalysis. However, the deposition of metal NPs on oxide supports with high efficiency and homogeneous dispersion still remains elusive, especially when silica is used as the support. Amino-functionalization of silica can improve loading efficiency, but metal NPs often aggregate on the surface. Herein, we report that a facial annealing of amino-functionalized silica can significantly improve the dispersion and enhance the loading efficiency of various metal NPs, such as Pt, Rh, and Ru, on the silica surface. A series of characterization techniques, such as diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), Zeta potential analysis, UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with infrared analysis (TGA–IR), and nitrogen physisorption, were employed to study the changes of surface properties of the amino-functionalized silica before and after annealing. We found that the annealed amino-functionalized silica surface has more cross-linked silanol groups and relatively lesser amount of amino groups, and less positively charges, which could be the key to the uniform deposition of metal NPs during the loading process. These results could contribute to the preparation of metal/oxide hybrid NPs for the applications that require uniform dispersion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Estimating the exposure of agriculture to climate variability and change can help us understand key vulnerabilities and improve adaptive capacity, which is vital to secure and increase world food production to feed its growing population. A number of indices to estimate exposure are available in literature. However, testing or validating them is difficult and reveals a considerable variability, and no systematic methodology has been developed to guide users in selecting indices for particular applications. This need is addressed in this paper by developing a flowchart from a conceptual model that uses a system's approach. Also, we compare five approaches to estimate exposure indices ( EIs) to study the exposure of agriculture to climate variability and change: single stressor-mean climate, single stressor-extreme climate, multiple stressor-mean climate, multiple stressor-extreme climate; and combinations of the above approaches. The developed flowchart requires gathering information on the region of study, including its agriculture, stressor(s), climate factor(s) ( CF), period of interest and the method of aggregation. The flowchart was applied to a case study in Kansas to better understand the five approaches to estimate EIs and the implications of the choices made in each step on the estimated the exposure. The flowchart provides options that guide EI estimation by selecting the most appropriate stressor(s), associated CF(s), and aggregation methods when a detailed methodological analysis is possible, or proposes a default method when data or resources do not allow a detailed analysis. Climate adaptation involves integration of a multitude of factors across complex systems. A more standardized approach to assessing exposure can promote information sharing across different locations and systems as this rapidly evolving area of study moves forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biochemical and genetic analyses have previously identified caffeoyl shikimate esterase ( CSE) as an enzyme in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, although the generality of this finding has been questioned. Here we show the presence of CSE genes and associated enzyme activity in barrel medic ( Medicago truncatula, dicot, Leguminosae), poplar ( Populus deltoides, dicot, Salicaceae), and switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum, monocot, Poaceae). Loss of function of CSE in transposon insertion lines of M. truncatula results in severe dwarfing, altered development, reduction in lignin content, and preferential accumulation of hydroxyphenyl units in lignin, indicating that the CSE enzyme is critical for normal lignification in this species. However, the model grass Brachypodium distachyon and corn ( Zea mays) do not possess orthologs of the currently characterized CSE genes, and crude protein extracts from stems of these species exhibit only a weak esterase activity with caffeoyl shikimate. Our results suggest that the reaction catalyzed by CSE may not be essential for lignification in all plant species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chlorophyll degradation naturally occurs during plant senescence. However, in fruit such as citrus, it is a positive characteristic, as degreening is an important colour development contributing to fruit quality. In the present work, Citrus sinensis Osbeck, cv. Newhall fruit was used as a model for chlorophyll degradation. An ethylene response factor, Cit ERF13, was isolated and its transcriptional changes were closely correlated with fruit peel degreening during development or in response to ethylene. Dual-luciferase and yeast one-hybrid assays, as well as motif mutation, indicated that Cit ERF13 directly binds to the Cit PPH promoter and enhances its activity. Transient and stable over-expression of Cit ERF13 resulted in rapid chlorophyll degradation in Nicotiana tabacum leaves and led to accumulation of pheophorbide (Pheide) a, a metabolite of pheophorbide hydrolase ( PPH). Similar results were observed from transient transformation of Cit ERF13 in citrus fruit peel. Moreover, this function of Cit ERF13 was conserved within Arabidopsis and tomato, as the homologs At ERF17 and Sl ERF16 similarly acted as activators of PPH genes and accelerators of chlorophyll degradation.

AB  - Hydrogen generation from photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is on the forefront of clean energy generation landscape. The efficiency of PEC system is dependent on the engineering of semiconductors with tailored narrow band gap coupled with superior photoelectrochemical activity and desired stability vital for the commercialization of PEC water splitting cells. We report herein the study of vertically aligned Nb and N doped SnO 2 nanotubes (NTs), i.e. , (Sn 0.95 Nb 0.05 )O 2 :N NTs for PEC water splitting. (Sn 0.95 Nb 0.05 )O 2 NTs was selected for co-doping with nitrogen by systematic analysis of applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of various Nb doped SnO 2 ( x = 0–0.1) compositions. Consequently, excellent photoelectrochemical stability and the highest efficiency of 4.1% is obtained for (Sn 0.95 Nb 0.05 )O 2 :N-600 NTs never observed for other known TiO 2 , ZnO, and Fe 2 O 3 systems to date. Additionally, theoretical first principles study provides understanding of Nb and N co-doping on the electronic structure and band gap of SnO 2 semiconductor, further corroborating results of the experimental study.

AB  - Cellular processes mediated through nuclear DNA must contend with chromatin. Chromatin structural assays can efficiently integrate information across diverse regulatory elements, revealing the functional noncoding genome. In this study, we use a differential nuclease sensitivity assay based on micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion to discover open chromatin regions in the maize genome. We find that maize MNase-hypersensitive (MNase HS) regions localize around active genes and within recombination hotspots, focusing biased gene conversion at their flanks. Although MNase HS regions map to less than 1% of the genome, they consistently explain a remarkably large amount (~40%) of heritable phenotypic variance in diverse complex traits. MNase HS regions are therefore on par with coding sequences as annotations that demarcate the functional parts of the maize genome. These results imply that less than 3% of the maize genome (coding and MNase HS regions) may give rise to the overwhelming majority of phenotypic variation, greatly narrowing the scope of the functional genome.

AB  - The global terrestrial carbon sink offsets one-third of the world's fossil fuel emissions, but the strength of this sink is highly sensitive to large-scale extreme events. In 2012, the contiguous United States experienced exceptionally warm temperatures and the most severe drought since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, resulting in substantial economic damage. It is crucial to understand the dynamics of such events because warmer temperatures and a higher prevalence of drought are projected in a changing climate. Here, we combine an extensive network of direct ecosystem flux measurements with satellite remote sensing and atmospheric inverse modeling to quantify the impact of the warmer spring and summer drought on biosphereatmosphere carbon and water exchange in 2012. We consistently find that earlier vegetation activity increased spring carbon uptake and compensated for the reduced uptake during the summer drought, which mitigated the impact on net annual carbon uptake. The early phenological development in the Eastern Temperate Forests played a major role for the continental-scale carbon balance in 2012. The warm spring also depleted soilwater resources earlier, and thus exacerbated water limitations during summer. Our results show that the detrimental effects of severe summer drought on ecosystem carbon storage can be mitigated by warming-induced increases in spring carbon uptake. However, the results also suggest that the positive carbon cycle effect of warm spring enhances water limitations and can increase summer heating through biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks.

AB  - <bold>Background: </bold>An estimated 1 million children die each year before their fifth birthday from diarrhea. Previous population-based surveys of pediatric diarrheal diseases have identified the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, as one of the causes of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.<bold>Methods: </bold>We prospectively studied the natural history of E. histolytica colonization and diarrhea among infants in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh.<bold>Results: </bold>Approximately 80% of children were infected with E. histolytica by the age of 2 years. Fecal anti-galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine lectin immunoglobulin A was associated with protection from reinfection, while a high parasite burden and expansion of the Prevotella copri level was associated with diarrhea.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>E. histolytica infection was prevalent in this population, with most infections asymptomatic and diarrhea associated with both the amount of parasite and the composition of the microbiota.

The U.S. broiler meat market has grown over the past 16 years and destinations for U.S. broiler meat exports expanded to over 150 countries. This market opportunity has spurred a corresponding increase in industrialized poultry production, which due to the confined space in which high numbers of animals are housed, risks accumulating nutrients and pollutants. The purpose of this research was to determine the level of pollutants within poultry litter and the underlying soil within a production facility; and to explore the impact of spent litter deposition into the environment. The study follows a production facility for the first 2.5 years of production. It monitors the effects of successive flocks and management practices on 15 physiochemical parameters: Ca, Cu, electrical conductivity, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, moisture, Na, NO 3 − /N, organic matter, P, pH, S, and Zn. Litter samples were collected in-house, after clean-outs and during stockpiling. The soil before house placement, after the clean-outs and following litter stockpiling was monitored. Management practices markedly altered the physiochemical profiles of the litter in-house. A canonical discriminant analysis was used to describe the relationship between the parameters and sampling times. The litter profiles grouped into five clusters corresponding to time and management practices. The soil in-house exhibited mean increases in all physiochemical parameters (2–297 fold) except Fe, Mg, %M, and pH. The spent litter was followed after deposition onto a field for use as fertilizer. After 20 weeks, the soil beneath the litter exhibited increases in EC, Cu, K, Na, NO 3 − /N, %OM, P, S and Zn; while %M decreased. Understanding the impacts of industrialized poultry farms on the environment is vital as the cumulative ecological impact of this land usage could be substantial if not properly managed to reduce the risk of potential pollutant infiltration into the environment.

AB  - Peach-to-nectarine mutants showed broad pleiotropic effects on fruit size, taste, and aroma, in addition to hairlessness. In this study, we compared nine fruit attributes and 27 detected volatiles in the peach progenitor, 'Flameprince' (FPP), its two independently discovered peach-to-nectarine mutants (HFN and PFN), and a selected nectarine hybrid (SLN). HFN and PFN differed from FPP in fruit size and taste, but shared high similarities in fruit blush coverage and pattern, pit shape, and flesh and pit color. Compared to FPP, the two mutants were significantly lighter and smaller, but higher in soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), and the SSC/TA ratio. The 27 volatiles varied among the cultivars and harvest dates, in terms of total abundance and detection rate, and could be roughly clustered into six subgroups. Subgroup 1 included five volatiles and two fruit attributes that were low on Aug 6 but dramatically increased on Aug 13. Subgroup 2 had a similar tendency to subgroup 1 but one of the cultivars was an exception. Subgroup 3 included those that had the opposite tendency to subgroup 1 or 2. Volatiles in the three subgroups appeared closely associated with the ripening process. Fruit volatiles and attributes in the other three subgroups generally were inconsistent among the four cultivars on the two dates. Hexanol was the only volatile undetected in the peach, but detected in the three nectarines. Differences in broad pleiotropic effects among these mutants, potential utilization of volatiles, and genomic exploration are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Screening large populations for carriers of known or de novo rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is required both in Targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) experiments in plants and in screening of human populations. We previously suggested an approach that combines the mathematical field of compressed sensing with next-generation sequencing to allow such large-scale screening. Based on pooled measurements, this method identifies multiple carriers of heterozygous or homozygous rare alleles while using only a small fraction of resources. Its rigorous mathematical foundations allow scalable and robust detection, and provide error correction and resilience to experimental noise. Here we present a large-scale experimental demonstration of our computational approach, in which we targeted a TILLING population of 1024 Sorghum bicolor lines to detect carriers of de novo SNPs whose frequency was less than 0.1%, using only 48 pools. Subsequent validation confirmed that all detected lines were indeed carriers of the predicted mutations. This novel approach provides a highly cost-effective and robust tool for biologists and breeders to allow identification of novel alleles and subsequent functional analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Symbiotic microbial communities are critical to the function and survival of animals. This relationship is obligatory for herbivores that engage gut microorganisms for the conversion of dietary plant materials into nutrients such as short-chain organic acids ( SCOAs). The constraint on body size imposed by their arboreal lifestyle is thought to make this symbiosis especially important for sloths. Here, we use next-generation sequencing to identify the bacteria present in the fore and distal guts of wild two- and three-toed sloths, and correlate these communities with both diet and SCOAs. We show that, unlike other mammalian herbivores, sloth gut communities are dominated by the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. Specifically, three-toed sloths possess a highly conserved, low-diversity foregut community with a highly abundant N eisseria species associated with foregut lactate. In contrast, two-toed sloths have a more variable and diverse foregut microbiota correlated with a variety of SCOAs. These differences support the hypothesis that feeding behaviour selects for specific gut bacterial communities, as three-toed sloths subsist primarily on C ecropia tree leaves while two-toed sloths have a more generalist diet. The less diverse diet and gut microbiota of three-toed sloths may render them more susceptible to habitat loss and other diet-altering conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Low magnesium intake has been implicated in a broad range of cardiometabolic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Dietary magnesium and total body magnesium status are widely used but imperfect biomarkers in serum magnesium. Despite serum magnesium's limitations, it is nevertheless observed to be lower in those with cardiometabolic disease than in generally healthy people. Although some 50% of Americans do not meet recommended levels of magnesium intake, the extent of prevalent magnesium deficiency is unknown. Given magnesium's role in a multitude of chronic conditions that are increasingly common across the globe, here, we summarize recently published literature reporting prevalent hypomagnesaemia in generally representative populations and in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. On the basis of these studies, we estimate that up to a third of the general populationmay be magnesium deficient and that outside of acute clinical encounters or hospitalization, hypomagnesaemia is likely frequently overlooked in general clinical practice.

AB  - The attraction of wild tephritids to semiochemical-based lures is the ideal basis for trap network design in detection programmes, but in practice, mass-reared colony insects are usually used to determine trap efficiency. For Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett, a lower response by wild males compared with colony-derived individuals, usually used to estimate attraction parameters, could mean that the sensitivity of detection networks targeting this pest is reduced. We describe the results of mark-release-recapture experiments with wild- and colony-derived B. cucurbitae males in a grid of cuelure-baited traps within a macadamia nut orchard in Hawaii Island designed to quantify the attraction of cuelure to each fly type. For colony males, we estimate a 65% probability of capture at 27 m, intermediate with previous estimates on the attraction of methyl eugenol to Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (36 m) and trimedlure to Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (14 m) at the same site. Results suggest similar response over distance by wild-derived B. cucurbitae compared with colony in the field, but there may be qualitative differences in response between wild and colony based on very low response of wild males in a standard bioassay of attraction. For both fly types, the estimates of attraction in the smaller of two grid sizes tested were lower than for the larger spacing, suggesting trap competition was a factor at an intertrap distance of 75 m. Dispersal patterns within the grid were generally to the south for the colony-derived males and more variable for the wild-derived males. In neither case was the direction of recapture correlated with the prevailing direction of the wind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ti3CrCu4 is a new ternary compound which crystallizes in the tetragonal Ti3Pd5 structure type. The Cr atoms form square nets in the a-b plane (a = 3.124 Å) which are separated by an unusually large distance c = 11.228 Å along the tetragonal axis, thus forming a -2-D Cr-sublattice. The paramagnetic susceptibility is characterized by a low effective moment, μeff = 11 μB, a low paramagnetic Curie temperature ϑP (below 7 K) and a temperature independent χ0 = 6.7 x 10-4 emu/mol. The magnetization at 1.8 K increases rapidly with field nearly saturating to 0.2 μB/f.u. The zero field heat capacity C/T shows an upturn below 7 K (~190 mJ/mol K² at ~0.1K) which is suppressed in applied magnetic fields and interpreted as suggesting the presence of spin fluctuations. The resistivity at low temperatures shows non-Fermi liquid behavior. Overall, the experimental data thus reveal an unusual magnetic state in Ti3CrCu4, which likely has its origin in the layered nature of the Cr sub-lattice and ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. Density functional theoretical calculations reveal a sharp Cr density of states peak just above the Fermi level, indicating the propensity of Ti3CrCu4 to become magnetic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We deposited high quality (Sb1-xBix)2Te3 on mica substrate by molecular beam epitaxy and investigated their magnetotransport properties. It is found that the average surface roughness of thin films is lower than 2 nm. Moreover, a local maxima on the sheet resistance is obtained with x = 0.043, indicating a minimization of bulk conductivity at this composition. For (Sb0.957Bi0.043)2Te3, weak antilocalization with coefficient of -0.43 is observed, confirming the existence of 2D surface states. Moreover Shubnikov-de Hass oscillation behavior occurs under high magnetic field. The 2D carrier density is then determined as 0.81 x 1016 m-2, which is lower than that of most TIs reported previously, indicating that (Sb0.957Bi0.043)2Te3 is close to ideal TI composition of which the Dirac point and Fermi surface cross within the bulk bandgap. Our results thus demonstrate the best estimated composition for ideal TI is close to (Sb0.957Bi0.043)2Te3 and will be helpful for designing TI-based devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular parasite of humans and other animals, host mitochondrial association (HMA) is driven by a gene family that encodes multiple mitochondrial association factor 1 (MAF1) proteins. However, the importance of MAF1 gene duplication in the evolution of HMA is not understood, nor is the impact of HMA on parasite biology. Here we used within- and between-species comparative analysis to determine that the MAF1 locus is duplicated in T. gondii and its nearest extant relative Hammondia hammondi, but not another close relative, Neospora caninum. Using cross-species complementation, we determined that the MAF1 locus harbors multiple distinct paralogs that differ in their ability to mediate HMA, and that only T. gondii and H. hammondi harbor HMA+ paralogs. Additionally, we found that exogenous expression of an HMA+ paralog in T. gondii strains that do not normally exhibit HMA provides a competitive advantage over their wild-type counterparts during a mouse infection. These data indicate that HMA likely evolved by neofunctionalization of a duplicate MAF1 copy in the common ancestor of T. gondii and H. hammondi, and that the neofunctionalized gene duplicate is selectively advantageous.

AB  - Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a powerful molecular marker technique that has been widely used in population genetics and molecular mapping studies for various organisms. However, the technique has not been used for studying Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ), the wheat stripe rust pathogen. In this study, we developed over a hundred secreted protein gene-derived SNP (SP-SNP) markers and used 92 markers to study the population structure of Pst . From 352 isolates collected in the United States, we identified 242 multi-locus genotypes. The SP-SNP genotypes had a moderate, but significant correlation with the virulence phenotype data. Clustering of the multi-locus genotypes was consistent by various analyses, revealing distinct genetic groups. Analysis of molecular variance detected significant differences between the eastern and western US Pst populations. High heterozygosity was found in the US population with significant differences identified among epidemiological regions. Analysis of population differentiation revealed that populations between the eastern and western US were highly differentiated while moderate differentiation was found in populations within the western or eastern US. Isolates from the western US were more diverse than isolates from the eastern US. The information is useful for guiding the disease management in different epidemiological regions.

AB  - Waxy wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) starch contains little or no amylose. Partial waxy wheats have amylose concentrations intermediate between those of waxy and wild-type (normal) starches. A factorial design was used to compare waxy, wild-type, partial waxy, and blends (10 and 17% amylose) of waxy and wild-type starches in native states, and after cross-linking with phosphorus oxychloride, substitution with propylene oxide, and a sequential modification procedure using both approaches. In analyses via the Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA), native waxy wheat starch reached peak viscosity at a significantly lower temperature, and displayed significantly higher viscosity (>3000 cP), than starches of all other genotypes and blends. Hydroxypropylation of waxy wheat starch increased peak viscosity to >3500 cP. In contrast, native and hydroxypropylated wild-type starches demonstrated peak viscosities of 1000 and 1500 cP, respectively. Cross-linked waxy starches demonstrated stable viscosities, with no breakdown or setback. With both native and modified starches, partial waxy pasting curves displayed viscosities intermediate between those of waxy and wild-type, though the same effect was obtained via use of the 17% blend. The 10% native starch blend displayed pasting properties intermediate between those of the partial waxy/17% blend group, and the waxy sample. The results suggest that appropriate selection of amylose contents, ideally formed by blending of waxy and wild-type starches, and chemical modification method, can result in wheat starches with predictable functional properties for a variety of food and industrial uses.

AB  - A mechanism for integrating light perception and the endogenous circadian clock is central to a plant's capacity to coordinate its growth and development with the prevailing daily light/dark cycles. Under short-day (SD) photocycles, hypocotyl elongation is maximal at dawn, being promoted by the collective activity of a quartet of transcription factors, called PIF1, PIF3, PIF4, and PIF5 (phytochromeinteracting factors). PIF protein abundance in SDs oscillates as a balance between synthesis and photoactivated-phytochrome-imposed degradation, with maximum levels accumulating at the end of the long night. Previous evidence shows that elongation under diurnal conditions (as well as in shade) is also subjected to circadian gating. However, the mechanism underlying these phenomena is incompletely understood. Here we show that the PIFs and the core clock component Timing of CAB expression 1 (TOC1) display coincident cobinding to the promoters of predawn-phased, growthrelated genes under SD conditions. TOC1 interacts with the PIFs and represses their transcriptional activation activity, antagonizing PIF-induced growth. Given the dynamics of TOC1 abundance (displaying high postdusk levels that progressively decline during the long night), our data suggest that TOC1 functions to provide a direct output from the core clock that transiently constrains the growth-promoting activity of the accumulating PIFs early postdusk, thereby gating growth to predawn, when conditions for cell elongation are optimal. These findings unveil a previously unrecognized mechanism whereby a core circadian clock output signal converges immediately with the phytochrome photosensory pathway to coregulate directly the activity of the PIF transcription factors positioned at the apex of a transcriptional network that regulates a diversity of downstream morphogenic responses.

AB  - Graft copolymers of waxy maize starch and poly-γ-glutamic acid (PGA) were produced in an aqueous solution using microwave irradiation. The microwave reaction conditions were optimized with regard to temperature and pH. The temperature of 180 °C and pH7.0 were the best reaction conditions resulting in a PGA graft of 0.45% based on nitrogen analysis. The average graft content and graft efficiency for the starch–PGA graft copolymer prepared at 180 °C and pH7.0 were 4.20% and 2.73%, respectively. The starch–PGA graft copolymer produced at 180 °C and pH7.0 could absorb more than 20 times its own weight amount of water and form a gel. The preliminary rheology study revealed that the starch–PGA graft copolymer gel exhibited viscoelastic solid behavior while the control sample of waxy starch showed viscoelastic liquid behavior.

AB  - RATIONALE: Previously, we have reported a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for the identification and quantification of regulated veterinary drugs in food animals. The method uses three selected transition ions per analyte but structural characterization is also needed. This work is a continuation of two previous publications in which we propose structures of the selected transition ions of 130 veterinary drugs altogether. METHODS: In this work, 24 additional veterinary drugs were analyzed by infusion into a high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive or negative mode. The TOF analyzer was calibrated to achieve low error mass accuracy in the MS and MS/MS modes. Also, the MS² and MS³ spectra were obtained by using a Q-Trap mass spectrometer to further determine the possible pathways of ion formation. RESULTS: The low error mass spectrometry analysis allowed the elucidation of the ion formulae of selected transition ions for qualitative identification. The rational interpretation of data including a review of the published literature led to the proposed structures of the MS/MS product ions of 24 compounds covering two classes of regulated veterinary drugs (anthelmintics and thyreostats). In addition, the use of MS² and MS³ experiments led to the establishment of fragmentation patterns. CONCLUSIONS: The identification and quantification of veterinary drug residues is helpful information for regulatory monitoring programs in defense of regulatory enforcement actions. Published in 2016. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Photorespiration is essential for C3 plants but operates at the massive expense of fixed carbon dioxide and energy. Photorespiration is initiated when the initial enzyme of photosynthesis, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), reacts with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide and produces a toxic compound that is then recycled by photorespiration. Photorespiration can be modeled at the canopy and regional scales to determine its cost under current and future atmospheres. A regional-scale model reveals that photorespiration currently decreases US soybean and wheat yields by 36% and 20%, respectively, and a 5% decrease in the losses due to photorespiration would be worth approximately $500 million annually in the United States. Furthermore, photorespiration will continue to impact yield under future climates despite increases in carbon dioxide, with models suggesting a 12-55% improvement in gross photosynthesis in the absence of photorespiration, even under climate change scenarios predicting the largest increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Although photorespiration is tied to other important metabolic functions, the benefit of improving its efficiency appears to outweigh any potential secondary disadvantages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Relative to research focused on inter-continental viral exchange between Eurasia and North America, less attention has been directed towards understanding the redistribution of influenza A viruses ( IAVs) by wild birds between North America and South America. In this study, we genomically characterized 45 viruses isolated from blue-winged teal ( Anas discors) along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast during March of 2012 and 2013, coincident with northward migration of this species from Neotropical wintering areas to breeding grounds in the United States and Canada. No evidence of South American lineage genes was detected in IAVs isolated from blue-winged teal supporting restricted viral gene flow between the United States and southern South America. However, it is plausible that blue-winged teal redistribute IAVs between North American breeding grounds and wintering areas throughout the Neotropics, including northern South America, and that viral gene flow is limited by geographical barriers further south (e.g. the Amazon Basin). Surveillance for the introduction of IAVs from Central America and northern South America into the United States may be further optimized through genomic characterization of viruses resulting from coordinated, concurrent sampling efforts targeting blue-winged teal and sympatric species throughout the Neotropics and along the United States Gulf Coast.

AB  - Toxoplasma gondii infects animals habiting terrestrial and aquatic environments. Its oocysts and tissue cysts are important for the horizontal transmission of this parasite. The oocyst and tissue cyst walls are crucial for the ability of the parasite to persist in the environment or in animal tissues, respectively. However, the composition of these walls is not well understood. We report the generation of monoclonal antibodies directed against wall components using mice immunized with oocyst antigens of T. gondii . One monoclonal antibody (mAb) G1/19 reacted solely with T. gondii sporozoites. The respective antigen had a relative molecular weight (Mr) of 30 kDa. MAb G1/19 failed to react with sporozoites of any other coccidian parasite species tested ( Hammondia hammondi , Hammondia heydorni , Cystoisospora felis , Eimeria bovis , Sarcocystis sp.). Another mAb, designated K8/15-15, recognized antigens in sporocyst walls of the parasite and in the walls of in vivo or in vitro produced tissue cysts, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence and immunoblot assays. Antigens of 80 to a high molecular weight protein of about 350 kDa Mr were recognized by this antibody using antigen extracts from sporocysts, and from in vitro or in vivo generated tissue cysts of the parasite. Tissue cyst and sporocyst walls of H. hammondi and H. heydorni , and tissue cysts of Neospora caninum were also recognized by mAb K8/15-15. Sporocyst walls of C. felis also reacted to this mAb. The cyst walls of Sarcocystis sp. and Besnoitia besnoiti were not recognized by mAb K8/15-15. Reactivity by a single mAb against T. gondii antigens in tissue cysts and sporocysts had not been reported previously. MAb K8/15-15 may be a practical tool for the identification of both cysts and sporocysts of the parasite, and may also be potentially employed in proteomic studies on the identification of new components of the cyst and sporocyst walls of T. gondii .

AB  - Newcastle disease is caused by virulent forms of avian paramyxovirus of serotype 1 (APMV-1) and has global economic importance. The disease reached panzootic proportions within two decades after first being identified in 1926 in the United Kingdom and Indonesia and still remains endemic in many countries across the world. Here we review information on the host, temporal, and geographic distribution of APMV-1 genetic diversity based on the evolutionary systematics of the complete coding region of the fusion gene. Strains of APMV-1 are phylogenetically separated into two classes (class I and class II) and further classified into genotypes based on genetic differences. Class I viruses are genetically less diverse, generally present in wild waterfowl, and are of low virulence. Class II viruses are genetically and phenotypically more diverse, frequently isolated from poultry with occasional spillovers into wild birds, and exhibit a wider range of virulence. Waterfowl, cormorants, and pigeons are natural reservoirs of all APMV-1 pathotypes, except viscerotropic velogenic viruses for which natural reservoirs have not been identified. Genotypes I and II within class II include isolates of high and low virulence, the latter often being used as vaccines. Viruses of genotypes III and IX that emerged decades ago are now isolated rarely, but may be found in domestic and wild birds in China. Containing only virulent viruses and responsible for the majority of recent outbreaks in poultry and wild birds, viruses from genotypes V, VI, and VII, are highly mobile and have been isolated on different continents. Conversely, virulent viruses of genotypes XI (Madagascar), XIII (mainly Southwest Asia), XVI (North America) and XIV, XVII and XVIII (Africa) appear to have a more limited geographic distribution and have been isolated predominantly from poultry.

AB  - Almost all C4 plants require the co-ordination of the adjacent and fully differentiated cell types, mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS). The C4 photosynthetic pathway operates through two distinct subtypes based on how malate is decarboxylated in BS cells; through NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) or NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME). The diverse or unique cell-specific molecular features of M and BS cells from separate C4 subtypes of independent lineages remain to be determined. We here provide an M/BS cell type-specific transcriptome data set from the monocot NAD-ME subtype switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). A comparative transcriptomics approach was then applied to compare the M/BS mRNA profiles of switchgrass, monocot NADP-ME subtype C4 plants maize and Setaria viridis, and dicot NAD-ME subtype Cleome gynandra. We evaluated the convergence in the transcript abundance of core components in C4 photosynthesis and transcription factors to establish Kranz anatomy, as well as gene distribution of biological functions, in these four independent C4 lineages. We also estimated the divergence between NAD-ME and NADP-ME subtypes of C4 photosynthesis in the two cell types within C4 species, including differences in genes encoding decarboxylating enzymes, aminotransferases, and metabolite transporters, and differences in the cell-specific functional enrichment of RNA regulation and protein biogenesis/homeostasis. We suggest that C4 plants of independent lineages in both monocots and dicots underwent convergent evolution to establish C4 photosynthesis, while distinct C4 subtypes also underwent divergent processes for the optimization of M and BS cell co-ordination. The comprehensive data sets in our study provide a basis for further research on evolution of C4 species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We evaluated the long-term (1995-2008) trends in foliar and sapwood metabolism, soil solution chemistry and tree mortality rates in response to chronic nitrogen (N) additions to pine and hardwood stands at the Harvard Forest Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. Common stress-related metabolites like polyamines (PAs), free amino acids (AAs) and inorganic elements were analyzed for control, low N (LN, 50 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1) and high N (HN, 150 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1) treatments. In the pine stands, partitioning of excess N into foliar PAs and AAs increased with both N treatments until 2002. By 2005, several of these effects on N metabolites disappeared for HN, and by 2008 they were mostly observed for LN plot. A significant decline in foliar Ca and P was observed mostly with HN for a few years until 2005. However, sapwood data actually showed an increase in Ca, Mg and Mn and no change in PAs in the HN plot for 2008, while AAs data revealed trends that were generally similar to foliage for 2008. Concomitant with these changes, mortality data revealed a large number of dead trees in HN pine plots by 2002; the mortality rate started to decline by 2005. Oak trees in the hardwood plot did not exhibit any major changes in PAs, AAs, nutrients and mortality rate with LN treatment, indicating that oak trees were able to tolerate the yearly doses of 50 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1. However, HN trees suffered from physiological and nutritional stress along with increased mortality in 2008. In this case also, foliar data were supported by the sapwood data. Overall, both low and high N applications resulted in greater physiological stress to the pine trees than the oaks. In general, the time course of changes in metabolic data are in agreement with the published reports on changes in soil chemistry and microbial community structure, rates of soil carbon sequestration and production of woody biomass for this chronic N study. This correspondence of selected metabolites with other measures of forest functions suggests that the metabolite analyses are useful for long-term monitoring of the health of forest trees.

AB  - As has been observed in several European countries, the frequency of Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) has increased in Norwegian cereals in recent years, resulting in elevated levels of deoxynivalenol in cereal grains. The objective of this study was to determine if this increase was associated with changes in FGSC composition within Norway. FGSC isolates collected from wheat, oats and barley in Norway during two periods, mainly 1993-1998 and 2004-2007, were characterized to determine species and trichothecene genotype composition and to assess levels of genetic variation and population structure. In vitro growth rates at different temperatures and aggressiveness in spring wheat were further characterized for a sub-selection of isolates. All Norwegian isolates were identified as F. graminearum. The 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-ADON) trichothecene type was dominant. However, isolates with the 15-ADON chemotype were detected in Norway for the first time and may represent a recent introduction of this trichothecene type. Bayesian-model based clustering and analyses of genetic differentiation indicated the persistence over the last 20 years of two sympatric and partially admixed populations of F. graminearum in Norway. Significant differences in average in vitro growth rates and aggressiveness were observed between these two populations. Our results demonstrate that the recent increase in prevalence of the FGSC in Norwegian cereals do not correspond to any dramatic changes in FGSC species or trichothecene chemotype composition. However, significant changes in population frequencies were observed among Norwegian F. graminearum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Embolism formation and spread are dependent on conduit structure and xylem network connectivity. Detailed spatial analysis has been limited due to a lack of non-destructive methods to visualize these processes in living plants. We used synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (microCT) to visualize these processes in vivo for Juglans microcarpa Berl. saplings subjected to drought, and also evaluated embolism repair capability after re-watering. Cavitation was not detected in vivo until stem water potentials (Ψstem) reached -2.2 MPa, and loss of stem hydraulic conductivity as derived from microCT images predicted that 50% of conductivity was lost at Ψstem of ~ -3.5 MPa; xylem vulnerability as determined with the centrifuge method was comparable only in the range of Ψstem from -2.5 to -3.5 MPa. MicroCT images showed that cavitation appeared initially in isolated vessels not connected to other air-filled conduits. Once embolized vessels were present, multiple vessels in close proximity cavitated, and 3-D analysis along the stem axis revealed some connections between cavitated vessels. A tomography-derived automated xylem network analysis found that only 36% of vessels had one or more connections to other vessels. Cavitation susceptibility was related to vessel diameter, with large diameter vessels (>40 μm, mean diameter 25-30 μm) cavitating mainly under moderate stress (Ψstem > -3 MPa) and small diameter vessels (<30 μm) under severe stress. After re-watering there was no evidence for short or longer term vessel refilling over 2 weeks despite a rapid recovery of plant water status. The low embolism susceptibility in 1-year-old J. microcarpa may aid sapling survival during establishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Historically, point estimates such as the median lethal concentration (LC50) have been instrumental in assessing risks associated with toxicants to rare or economically important species. In recent years, growing awareness of the shortcomings of this approach has led to an increased focus on analyses using population endpoints. However, risk assessment of pesticides still relies heavily on large amounts of LC50 data amassed over decades in the laboratory. Despite the fact that these data are generally well replicated, little or no attention has been given to the sometime high levels of variability associated with the generation of point estimates. This is especially important in agroecosystems where arthropod predator-prey interactions are often disrupted by the use of pesticides. Using laboratory derived data of 4 economically important species (2 fruit fly pest species and 2 braconid parasitoid species) and matrix based population models, the authors demonstrate in the present study a method for bridging traditional point estimate risk assessments with population outcomes. The results illustrate that even closely related species can show strikingly divergent responses to the same exposures to pesticides. Furthermore, the authors show that using different values within the 95% confidence intervals of LC50 values can result in very different population outcomes, ranging from quick recovery to extinction for both pest and parasitoid species. The authors discuss the implications of these results and emphasize the need to incorporate variability and uncertainty in point estimates for use in risk assessment.

AB  - Background: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data show an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality with an increased intake of added sugar. Objective: We determined the dose-response effects of consuming beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) at zero, low, medium, and high proportions of energy requirements (Ereq) on circulating lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid in adults [age: 18-40 y; body mass index (in kg/m2): 18-35]. Design: We conducted a parallel-arm, nonrandomized, double-blinded intervention study in which adults participated in 3.5 inpatient days of baseline testing at the University of California Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center's Clinical Research Center. Participants then consumed beverages sweetened with HFCS at 0% (aspartame sweetened, n = 23), 10% (n = 18), 17.5% (n = 16), or 25% (n = 28) of Ereq during 13 outpatient days and during 3.5 inpatient days of intervention testing at the research center. We conducted 24-h serial blood collections during the baseline and intervention testing periods. Results: Consuming beverages containing 10%, 17.5%, or 25% Ereq from HFCS produced significant linear dose-response increases of lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid: postprandial triglyceride (0%: 0 ± 4; 10%: 22 ± 8; 17.5%: 25 ± 5: 25%: 37 ± 5 mg/dL, mean of Δ ± SE, P < 0.0001 effect of HFCSdose), fasting LDL cholesterol (0%: 21.0 ± 3.1; 10%: 7.4 ± 3.2; 17.5%: 8.2 ± 3.1; 25%: 15.9 ± 3.1 mg/dL, P < 0.0001), and 24-h mean uric acid concentrations (0%: 20.13 ± 0.07; 10%: 0.15 ± 0.06; 17.5%: 0.30 ± 0.07; 25%: 0.59 ± 0.09 mg/dL, P < 0.0001). Compared with beverages containing 0% HFCS, all 3 doses of HFCS-containing beverages increased concentrations of postprandial triglyceride, and the 2 higher doses increased fasting and/or postprandial concentrations of non-HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein CIII, and uric acid. Conclusions: Consuming beverages containing 10%, 17.5%, or 25% Ereq from HFCS produced dose-dependent increases in circulating lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid within 2 wk. These results provide mechanistic support for the epidemiologic evidence that the risk of cardiovascular mortality is positively associated with consumption of increasing amounts of added sugars. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01103921. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Water quality impairment due to excessive nutrients and sediment is a major problem in the United States ( U.S.). An important step in the mitigation of impairment in any given water body is determination of pollutant sources and amount. The sheer number of impaired waters and limited resources makes simplistic load estimation methods such as export coefficient (EC) methods attractive. Unfortunately ECs are typically based on small watershed monitoring data, which are very limited and/or often based on data collected from distant watersheds with drastically different conditions. In this research, we seek to improve the accuracy of these nutrient export estimation methods by developing a national database of localized EC for each ecoregion in the U.S. A stochastic sampling methodology loosely based on the Monte-Carlo technique was used to construct a database of 45 million Soil and Water Assessment Tool ( SWAT) simulations. These simulations consider a variety of climate, topography, soils, weather, land use, management, and conservation implementation conditions. SWAT model simulations were successfully validated with edge-of-field monitoring data. Simulated nutrient ECs compared favorably with previously published studies. These ECs may be used to rapidly estimate nutrient loading for any small catchment in the U.S. provided the location, area, and land-use distribution are known. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The ecological consequences of climate change are predicted to vary greatly throughout US rangelands. Projections show warming and drying in the southern Great Plains and the Southwest, warmer and drier summers with reduced winter snowpack in the Northwest, and warmer and wetter conditions in the northern Great Plains. Primarily through their combined effects on soil water availability, these climatic changes will modify plant production and community composition, which will, in turn, affect the livelihoods of humans who rely upon livestock grazing. The ability of rangeland managers to assess risk and prepare for climate change varies greatly and reflects their different adaptive capacities. Geographically specific exposure to climate change and a diverse adaptive capacity to counteract these changes will require development of varied adaptation strategies that can accommodate the various needs and abilities of livestock managers.

AB  - Phenotypic plasticity (PP) is the development of alternate phenotypes of a given taxon as an adaptation to environmental conditions. Methodological limitations have restricted the quantification of PP to the measurement of a few traits in single organisms. We used metatranscriptomic libraries to overcome these challenges and estimate PP using the expressed genes of multiple heterotrophic organisms as a proxy for traits in a microbial community. The metatranscriptomes captured the expression response of natural marine bacterial communities grown on differing carbon resource regimes in continuous cultures. We found that taxa with different magnitudes of PP coexisted in the same cultures, and that members of the order Rhodobacterales had the highest levels of PP. In agreement with previous studies, our results suggest that continuous culturing may have specifically selected for taxa featuring a rather high range of PP. On average, PP and abundance changes within a taxon contributed equally to the organism's change in functional gene abundance, implying that both PP and abundance mediated observed differences in community function. However, not all functional changes due to PP were directly reflected in the bulk community functional response: gene expression changes in individual taxa due to PP were partly masked by counterbalanced expression of the same gene in other taxa. This observation demonstrates that PP had a stabilizing effect on a community's functional response to environmental change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Zetaproteobacteria are a candidate class of marine iron-oxidizing bacteria that are typically found in high iron environments such as hydrothermal vent sites. As much remains unknown about these organisms due to difficulties in cultivation, single-cell genomics was used to learn more about this elusive group at Loihi Seamount. Comparative genomics of 23 phylogenetically diverse single amplified genomes (SAGs) and two isolates indicate niche specialization among the Zetaproteobacteria may be largely due to oxygen tolerance and nitrogen transformation capabilities. Only Form II ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RubisCO) genes were found in the SAGs, suggesting that some of the uncultivated Zetaproteobacteria may be adapted to low oxygen and/or high carbon dioxide concentrations. There is also genomic evidence of oxygen-tolerant cytochrome c oxidases and oxidative stress-related genes, indicating that others may be exposed to higher oxygen conditions. The Zetaproteobacteria also have the genomic potential for acquiring nitrogen from numerous sources including ammonium, nitrate, organic compounds, and nitrogen gas. Two types of molybdopterin oxidoreductase genes were found in the SAGs, indicating that those found in the isolates, thought to be involved in iron oxidation, are not consistent among all the Zetaproteobacteria. However, a novel cluster of redox-related genes was found to be conserved in 10 SAGs as well as in the isolates warranting further investigation. These results were used to isolate a novel iron-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria. Physiological studies and genomic analysis of this isolate were able to support many of the findings from SAG analyses demonstrating the value of these data for designing future enrichment strategies.

AB  - Although climate models forecast warmer temperatures with a high degree of certainty, precipitation is the primary driver of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in most grasslands. Conversely, variations in temperature seldom are related to patterns of ANPP. Thus forecasting responses to warming is a challenge, and raises the question: how sensitive will grassland ANPP be to warming? We evaluated climate and multi-year ANPP data (67 years) from eight western US grasslands arrayed along mean annual temperature (MAT; ~7-14 °C) and mean annual precipitation (MAP; ~250-500 mm) gradients. We used regression and analysis of covariance to assess relationships between ANPP and temperature, as well as precipitation (annual and growing season) to evaluate temperature sensitivity of ANPP. We also related ANPP to the standardized precipitation evaporation index (SPEI), which combines precipitation and evapotranspiration to better represent moisture available for plant growth. Regression models indicated that variation in growing season temperature was negatively related to total and graminoid ANPP, but precipitation was a stronger predictor than temperature. Growing season temperature was also a significant parameter in more complex models, but again precipitation was consistently a stronger predictor of ANPP. Surprisingly, neither annual nor growing season SPEI were as strongly related to ANPP as precipitation. We conclude that forecasted warming likely will affect ANPP in these grasslands, but that predicting temperature effects from natural climatic gradients is difficult. This is because, unlike precipitation, warming effects can be positive or negative and moderated by shifts in the C/C ratios of plant communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wildfire risk in temperate forests has become a nearly intractable problem that can be characterized as a socioecological 'pathology': that is, a set of complex and problematic interactions among social and ecological systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Assessments of wildfire risk could benefit from recognizing and accounting for these interactions in terms of socioecological systems, also known as coupled natural and human systems ( CNHS). We characterize the primary social and ecological dimensions of the wildfire risk pathology, paying particular attention to the governance system around wildfire risk, and suggest strategies to mitigate the pathology through innovative planning approaches, analytical tools, and policies. We caution that even with a clear understanding of the problem and possible solutions, the system by which human actors govern fire-prone forests may evolve incrementally in imperfect ways and can be expected to resist change even as we learn better ways to manage CNHS.

AB  - Double-crested Cormorant ( Phalacrocorax auritus ) numbers have increased in North America, and concomitantly cormorants appear to be expanding their nesting range in the southeastern United States. Because colonial nesting waterbirds can impact water quality, soil chemistry and subsequent vegetation succession patterns, our goal was to assess the extent to which cormorant breeding colonies are influencing the biotic and abiotic attributes of forested islands in the southeastern United States. Our objectives were to (1) compare water quality characteristics in near-shore surface waters around forested islands with and without nesting cormorants during the peak-nesting/fledgling period and post-fledgling period, (2) measure soil chemistry parameters for forested islands with and without nesting cormorants, and (3) compare tree health metrics on forested islands with and without nesting cormorants. Our results indicate that cormorant colonies are not significant contributors to general coliforms or Escherichia coli levels in waters surrounding southern breeding colonies. Cormorants also do not appear to have significant direct effects on water chemistry. We did find that cormorant colonies are affecting soil chemistry. Soil from within the nesting colony was more acidic and had greater concentrations of phosphorous than soils on reference islands. In addition, we found evidence that cormorants are negatively affecting tree health within nesting colonies as evidenced by a greater number of trees of lower vigor class within the nesting colonies compared to reference sites. While cormorants do cause abiotic and biotic changes, these are part of the natural ecological processes that occur following waterbird colonization. Management to reduce unwanted impacts that nesting cormorants are having on forested island habitats should be considered within a framework that allows for natural ecological processes, including changes in soil chemistry and subsequent vegetation succession.

AB  - Monitoring the terrestrial carbon cycle for responses to disturbances, caused for example by extreme climate events and insect outbreaks, has the potential to provide early warnings about ecosystem change. However, our capability to detect these carbon balance responses by atmospheric CO2 monitoring remains unknown despite sub-ppm comparability of many well-calibrated CO2 measurement sites. Here, this study explores how accurately atmospheric CO2 and transport models can detect imposed carbon flux anomalies against a background terrestrial flux. Air mass back trajectories from three CO2 monitoring stations in the central U.S. Rocky Mountains for one year (2008) were computationally simulated. To simulate reduced CO2 uptake, a constant +0.2 µmol C m-1 s-2 anomaly was added to all surface fluxes within perturbation domains of varying size. A spatially and temporally uniform 10°×10° +0.2 µmol C m-2 s-1 flux anomaly (+6 Tg C m-1) was detectable above a comprehensive model-data mismatch detection threshold in a large majority of months at each site, but only when the perturbation was located in the central Mountain West. The intensity of the perturbation and its area were important to detection, but the effect of area declined exponentially with increasing source-to-station distance. To further evaluate response, a more realistic spatiotemporally varying drought extracted from a dynamic global vegetation model with a monthly varying perturbation area (1°×1° to 5°×5°) and higher peak intensity (+0.8 µmol C m-2 s-1) was applied. Detectability of excess CO2 from this experiment by the nearest CO2 site (Utah) was similar to detectability of the largest (10°×10°) uniform perturbation. These experiments demonstrate disturbance and drought related carbon-cycle perturbations do create a discernible impact on the composite signal of atmospheric CO2 if sufficiently proximal to a measurement station.

AB  - Targeted grazing uses livestock to address woody plant encroachment, flammable biomass accumulations, exotic weed invasions, and other management issues. In principle, a feature distinguishing targeted grazing from production-orientated grazing is stocking regimes (i.e., rates, timings, and durations) are chosen to encourage heavy defoliation of unwanted plants at sensitive growth stages. In practice, there are limited data available to guide stocking regime choices. Those data that do exist derive mostly from short-term studies, so the long-term effects of targeted grazing most concerning to managers remain highly uncertain. In a previous study, we imposed clipping treatments to identify defoliation levels and timings effective against the invader leafy spurge ( Euphorbia esula L.). Most treatments simulated defoliation by sheep, the animal most commonly used for leafy spurge grazing, though a baseline treatment simulated defoliation by cattle, an animal tending to avoid leafy spurge. The two most effective treatments, which gave similar responses through the end of the previous study, defoliated leafy spurge and other species either before or during leafy spurge flowering. One goal of the current study was to determine if these responses remained similar or diverged over 5 additional treatment years. The other goal was to determine if differences between simulated sheep and cattle grazing treatments increased over time. In the current study, it became increasingly clear that defoliation before flowering was most damaging to leafy spurge, even though defoliation during flowering removed greater leafy spurge biomass. Compared with simulated cattle grazing, simulated sheep grazing before flowering reduced leafy spurge biomass production 74% (52%, 86%) [mean (95% confidence interval)] and increased resident species (mostly grasses) biomass production 40% (14%, 74%) by study’s end. Leafy spurge biomass differences between treatments increased gradually over the study period, suggesting long-term research is needed to accurately compare targeted grazing treatments.

AB  - Forest ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest of the USA are changing as a result of climate change. Specifically, rise of global temperatures, decline of winter precipitation, earlier loss of snowpack, and increased summer drought are altering the range of Pinus contorta. Simultaneously, flux in environmental conditions within the historic P. contorta range may facilitate the encroachment of P. ponderosa into P. contorta territory. Furthermore, successful pine species migration may be constrained by the distribution or co-migration of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). Knowledge of the linkages among soil fungal diversity, community structure, and environmental factors is critical to understanding the organization and stability of pine ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to establish a foundational knowledge of the EMF communities of P. ponderosa and P. contorta in the Deschutes National Forest, OR, USA, and to examine soil characteristics associated with community composition. We examined EMF root tips of P. ponderosa and P. contorta in soil cores and conducted soil chemistry analysis for P. ponderosa cores. Results indicate that Cenococcum geophilum, Rhizopogon salebrosus, and Inocybe flocculosa were dominant in both P. contorta and P. ponderosa soil cores. Rhizopogon spp. were ubiquitous in P. ponderosa cores. There was no significant difference in the species composition of EMF communities of P. ponderosa and P. contorta. Ordination analysis of P. ponderosa soils suggested that soil pH, plant-available phosphorus (Bray), total phosphorus (P), carbon (C), mineralizable nitrogen (N), ammonium (NH), and nitrate (NO) are driving EMF community composition in P. ponderosa stands. We found a significant linear relationship between EMF species richness and mineralizable N. In conclusion, P. ponderosa and P. contorta, within the Deschutes National Forest, share the same dominant EMF species, which implies that P. ponderosa may be able to successfully establish within the historic P. contorta range and dominant EMF assemblages may be conserved.

AB  - Large avian scavengers are among the most vulnerable vertebrates, and many of their populations have declined severely in recent decades. To help mitigate this marked reduction in abundance, supplementary feeding stations ( SFS; colloquially termed 'vulture restaurants') have been created worldwide, often without consideration of the scientific evidence supporting the suitability of the practice. SFS have been effective and important tools for conservation and reintroduction of avian scavengers. However, negative consequences can result from large aggregations of individual birds, disrupting intraguild processes and promoting density-dependent decreases in productivity. At the community level, SFS favor the congregation of predators (ie facultative scavengers), increasing predation risk on small- and medium-sized vertebrates in the vicinity of the SFS. These feeding stations might also affect processes of natural selection and even render populations maladapted to their natural environments. We also examine future scenarios for avian scavengers in relation to ecosystem services, to changes in agro-grazing economies and in land uses, and ultimately to rewilding landscapes where SFS play a controversial role.

AB  - Post-fire increases of runoff and erosion often occur and land managers need tools to be able to project the increased risk. The Erosion Risk Management Tool (ERMiT) uses the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model as the underlying processor. ERMiT predicts the probability of a given amount of hillslope sediment delivery from a single rainfall or snowmelt event on unburned, burned and recovering forest, range and chaparral hillslopes and the effectiveness of selected mitigation treatments. Eight published field study sites were used to compare ERMiT predictions with observed sediment deliveries. Most sites experienced only a few rainfall events that produced runoff and sediment (1.3-9.2%) except for a California site with a Mediterranean climate (45.6%). When sediment delivery occurred, pooled Spearman rank correlations indicated significant correlations between the observed sediment delivery and those predicted by ERMiT. Correlations were ρ = 0.65 for the controls, ρ = 0.59 for the log erosion barriers and ρ = 0.27 (not significant) for the mulch treatments. Half of the individual sites also had significant correlations, as did 6 of 7 compared post-fire years. These model validation results suggest reasonable estimates of probabilistic post-fire hillslope sediment delivery when compared with observations from eight field sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite transmitted by domestic cats ( Felis catus) that has historically caused mortality in native Hawaiian birds. To estimate how widespread exposure to the parasite is in nene (Hawaiian Geese, Branta sandvicensis), we did a serologic survey for T. gondii antibody and genetically characterized parasite DNA from the tissues of dead birds that had confirmed infections by immunohistochemistry. Of 94 geese sampled, prevalence on the island of Kauai, Maui, and Molokai was 21% ( n=42), 23% ( n=31), and 48% ( n=21), respectively. Two new T. gondii genotypes (ToxoDB #261 and #262) were identified by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism from four geese, and these appeared segregated geographically. Exposure to T. gondii in wild nene is widespread and, while the parasite is not a major cause of death, it could have sublethal or behavioral effects. How to translate such information to implement effective ways to manage feral cats in Hawaii poses challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) larvae are cryptic, internal tissue-feeding pests of palm trees that are difficult to detect; consequently, infestations may remain hidden until they are widespread in an orchard. Infested trees and propagable offshoots that develop from axillary buds on the trunk frequently are transported inadvertently to previously uninfested areas. Acoustic methods can be used for scouting and early detection of R. ferrugineus, but until now have not been tested on multiple trees and offshoots in commercial date palm orchard environments. For this report, the acoustic detectability of R. ferrugineus was assessed in Saudi Arabian date palm orchards in the presence of commonly occurring wind, bird noise, machinery noise, and nontarget insects. Signal analyses were developed to detect R. ferrugineus and another insect pest, Oryctes elegans Prell (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), frequently co-occurring in the orchards, and discriminate both from background noise. In addition, it was possible to distinguish R. ferrugineus from O. elegans in offshoots by differences in the temporal patterns of their sound impulses. As has been observed often with other insect pests, populations of the two species appeared clumped rather than uniform or random. The results are discussed in relation to development of automated methods that could assist orchard managers in quickly identifying infested trees and offshoots so that R. ferrugineus infestations can be targeted and the likelihood of transferring infested offshoots to uninfested areas can be reduced.

AB  - Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) Mildew resistance locus a ( Mla) confers allele-specific interactions with natural variants of the ascomycete fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei ( Bgh), the causal agent of powdery mildew disease. Significant reprogramming of Mla-mediated gene expression occurs upon infection by this obligate biotrophic pathogen., We utilized a proteomics-based approach, combined with barley mla, required for Mla12 resistance1 ( rar1) , and restoration of Mla resistance1 ( rom1) mutants, to identify components of Mla-directed signaling., Loss-of-function mutations in Mla and Rar1 both resulted in the reduced accumulation of chloroplast copper/zinc superoxide dismutase 1 ( Hv SOD1), whereas loss of function in Rom1 re-established Hv SOD1 levels. In addition, both Mla and Rom1 negatively regulated hvu-microRNA398 (hvu-miR398), and up-regulation of mi R398 was coupled to reduced Hv SOD1 expression. Barley stripe mosaic virus ( BSMV)-mediated over-expression of both barley and Arabidopsis mi R398 repressed accumulation of Hv SOD1, and BSMV-induced gene silencing of Hv Sod1 impeded Mla-triggered H2 O2 and hypersensitive reaction ( HR) at barley- Bgh interaction sites., These data indicate that Mla- and Rom1-regulated hvu-mi R398 represses Hv SOD1 accumulation, influencing effector-induced HR in response to the powdery mildew fungus.

AB  - The most diverse wild tomato species Solanum peruvianum sensu lato (s.l.) has been reclassified into four separate species: Solanum peruvianum sensu stricto (s.s.), Solanum corneliomuelleri, Solanum huaylasense, and Solanum arcanum. However, reproductive barriers among the species are incomplete and this can lead to discrepancies regarding genetic identity of germplasm. We used genotyping by sequencing (GBS) of S. peruvianum s.l., Solanum neorickii, and Solanum chmielewskii to develop tens of thousands of mapped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to analyze genetic relationships within and among species. The data set was condensed to 14 043 SNPs with no missing data across 46 sampled plants. Origins of accessions were mapped using geographical information systems (GIS). Isolation by distance, pairwise genetic distances, and number of clusters were estimated using population genetics approaches. Isolation by distance was strongly supported, especially between interspecific pairs. Eriopersicon ( S. peruvianum s.s., S. corneliomuelleri, S. huaylasense) and Arcanum ( S. arcanum, S. neorickii, S. chmielewskii) species groups were genetically distinct, except for S. huaylasense which showed 50% membership proportions in each group. Solanum peruvianum and S. corneliomuelleri were not significantly differentiated from each other. Many thousands of SNP markers were identified that could potentially be used to distinguish pairs of species, including S. peruvianum versus S. corneliomuelleri, if they are verified on larger numbers of samples. Diagnostic markers will be valuable for delimiting morphologically similar and interfertile species in germplasm management. Approximately 12% of the SNPs rejected a genome-wide test of selective neutrality based on differentiation among species of S. peruvianum s.l. These are candidates for more comprehensive studies of microevolutionary processes within this species complex. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La plus diverse des espèces sauvages de tomate Solanum peruvianum sensu lato (s.l.) a été reclassifiée en quatre espèces distinctes : Solanum peruvianum sensu stricto (s.s.), Solanum corneliomuelleri, Solanum huaylasense et Solanum arcanum. Cependant, les barrières reproductives entre ces espèces sont incomplètes et cela peut entraîner des discordances dans l'identification des ressources génétiques. Les auteurs ont employé le génotypage par séquençage (GBS) chez le S. peruvianum s.l., le Solanum neorickii et le Solanum chmielewskii pour identifier des dizaines de milliers de marqueurs SNP (polymorphisme mononucléotidique) et permettre l'analyse des relations génétiques au sein de ces espèces. Le jeu de données a été réduit à 14 043 SNP sans données manquantes parmi les 46 plantes analysées. Les origines des accessions ont été déterminées au moyen de systèmes d'information géographique (GIS). L'isolement géographique, la distance génétique et le nombre de groupes ont été estimés en utilisant des approches de la génétique des populations. L'isolement géographique a été fortement supporté, particulièrement entre les paires d'espèces. Les groupes d'espèces Eriopersicon ( S. peruvianum s.s., S. corneliomuelleri et S. huaylasense) et Arcanum ( S. arcanum, S. neorickii et S. chmielewski) étaient génétiquement distincts à l'exception du S. huaylasense qui présentait une appartenance égale aux deux groupes. Les espèces S. peruvianum et S. corneliomuelleri n'étaient pas significativement différentiés l'un de l'autre. Plusieurs milliers de marqueurs SNP ont été identifiés qui pourraient potentiellement distinguer des paires d'espèces, y compris S. peruvianum et S. corneliomuelleri, s'ils étaient validés sur un grand nombre d'échantillons. Des marqueurs diagnostiques seraient utiles en gestion des ressources génétiques pour circonscrire des espèces qui sont interfertiles et semblables sur le plan morphologique. À l'échelle du génome entier, environ 12 % des marqueurs SNP ont été rejetés sur la base d'un test de neutralité basé sur la différentiation au sein des espèces de S. peruvianum s.l. Ceux-ci pourront servir pour des études plus détaillées des processus de microévolution au sein de ce complexe d'espèces. [Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background/Objectives:Low blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) have been associated with cardiometabolic disease but results are inconsistent. The objective of the study was to investigate the association of 25OHD with metabolic syndrome in a population at increased risk for diabetes.Subjects/Methods:Using baseline data from the placebo and lifestyle intervention arms of the Diabetes Prevention Program (N=2000), multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome and each of its individual components across 25OHD tertiles. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate the adjusted mean difference of insulin secretion and sensitivity across the same 25OHD tertiles. In participants free of metabolic syndrome at baseline (N=546), incident metabolic syndrome in the first 2 years of follow-up was assessed using discrete-time proportional hazards regression to test its association with 25OHD concentration.Results:After multivariate adjustment, participants in the highest tertile of 25OHD had lower odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome (odds ratio=0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.45-0.84), smaller waist circumference, higher high-density lipoprotein and lower fasting plasma glucose compared with participants in the lowest tertile of 25OHD. Higher plasma 25OHD concentration was associated with greater insulin sensitivity and lower insulin secretion. After multivariate adjustment, there was a nonsignificant lower risk of metabolic syndrome in the highest tertile of 25OHD (hazard ratio=0.79; 95% CI=0.48-1.32) compared with the lowest tertile.Conclusions:In a population at increased risk for diabetes, higher plasma 25OHD concentration was inversely associated with prevalent metabolic syndrome and nonsignificantly with incident metabolic syndrome.

AB  - We report the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements during plasma treatment of thin films by an indigenously designed setup. From the measurements on Al (6.3 nm)/Ag (38 nm) bi-layer at a pressure of 0.02 mbar, the SPR position was found to be shifted by ~20° after a plasma treatment of ~7 h. The formation of oxide layers during plasma oxidation was confirmed by glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) measurements. Combined analysis of GXRD and SPR data confirmed that while top Al layer enables controlling plasma oxidation of Ag, the setup enables monitoring the same. The setup designed is a first of its kind for in situ SPR studies where creation of low pressure is a prerequisite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Although serotype O157:H7 is the predominant enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), outbreaks of non-O157 EHEC that cause severe foodborne illness, including hemolytic uremic syndrome have increased worldwide. In fact, non-O157 serotypes are now estimated to cause over half of all the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cases, and outbreaks of non-O157 EHEC infections are frequently associated with serotypes O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145. Currently, there are no complete genomes for O145 in public databases. Results We determined the complete genome sequences of two O145 strains (EcO145), one linked to a US lettuce-associated outbreak (RM13514) and one to a Belgium ice-cream-associated outbreak (RM13516). Both strains contain one chromosome and two large plasmids, with genome sizes of 5,737,294 bp for RM13514 and 5,559,008 bp for RM13516. Comparative analysis of the two EcO145 genomes revealed a large core (5,173 genes) and a considerable amount of strain-specific genes. Additionally, the two EcO145 genomes display distinct chromosomal architecture, virulence gene profile, phylogenetic origin of Stx2a prophage, and methylation profile (methylome). Comparative analysis of EcO145 genomes to other completely sequenced STEC and other E. coli and Shigella genomes revealed that, unlike any other known non-O157 EHEC strain, EcO145 ascended from a common lineage with EcO157/EcO55. This evolutionary relationship was further supported by the pangenome analysis of the 10 EHEC strains. Of the 4192 EHEC core genes, EcO145 shares more genes with EcO157 than with the any other non-O157 EHEC strains. Conclusions Our data provide evidence that EcO145 and EcO157 evolved from a common lineage, but ultimately each serotype evolves via a lineage-independent nature to EHEC by acquisition of the core set of EHEC virulence factors, including the genes encoding Shiga toxin and the large virulence plasmid. The large variation between the two EcO145 genomes suggests a distinctive evolutionary path between the two outbreak strains. The distinct methylome between the two EcO145 strains is likely due to the presence of a BsuBI/PstI methyltransferase gene cassette in the Stx2a prophage of the strain RM13514, suggesting a role of horizontal gene transfer-mediated epigenetic alteration in the evolution of individual EHEC strains.

AB  - Cryptosporidium ubiquitum is an emerging zoonotic pathogen. In the past, it was not possible to identify an association between cases of human and animal infection. We conducted a genomic survey of the species, developed a subtyping tool targeting the 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene, and identified 6 subtype families (XIIa-XIIf) of C. ubiquitum. Host adaptation was apparent at the gp60 locus; subtype XIIa was found in ruminants worldwide, subtype families XIIb-XIId were found in rodents in the United States, and XIIe and XIIf were found in rodents in the Slovak Republic. Humans in the United States were infected with isolates of subtypes XIIb-XIId, whereas those in other areas were infected primarily with subtype XIIa isolates. In addition, subtype families XIIb and XIId were detected in drinking source water in the United States. Contact with C. ubiquitum-infected sheep and drinking water contaminated by infected wildlife could be sources of human infections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Low-power ultrashort pulsed (USP) lasers operating at wavelengths of 425 nm and near infrared region have been shown to effectively inactivate viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), M13 bacteriophage, and murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). It was shown previously that non-enveloped, helical viruses such as M13 bacteriophage, were inactivated by a USP laser through an impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) process. Recently, enveloped virus like MCMV has been shown to be inactivated by a USP laser via protein aggregation induced by an ISRS process. However, the inactivation mechanism for a clinically important class of viruses - non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses remains unknown. Results and discussions We have ruled out the following four possible inactivation mechanisms for non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses, namely, (1) inactivation due to ultraviolet C (UVC) photons produced by non-linear optical process of the intense, fundamental laser beam at 425 nm; (2) inactivation caused by thermal heating generated by the direct laser absorption/heating of the virion; (3) inactivation resulting from a one-photon absorption process via chromophores such as porphyrin molecules, or indicator dyes, potentially producing reactive oxygen or other species; (4) inactivation by the USP lasers in which the extremely intense laser pulse produces shock wave-like vibrations upon impact with the viral particle. We present data which support that the inactivation mechanism for non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses is the impulsive stimulated Raman scattering process. Real-time PCR experiments show that, within the amplicon size of 273 bp tested, there is no damage on the genome of MNV-1 caused by the USP laser irradiation. Conclusion We conclude that our model non-enveloped virus, MNV-1, is inactivated by the ISRS process. These studies provide fundamental knowledge on photon-virus interactions on femtosecond time scales. From the analysis of the transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of viral particles before and after USP laser irradiation, the locations of weak structural links on the capsid of MNV-1 were revealed. This important information will greatly aid our understanding of the structure of non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses. We envision that this non-invasive, efficient viral eradication method will find applications in the disinfection of pharmaceuticals, biologicals and blood products in the near future.

AB  - Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus Allium L. has been mainly based on the nucleotide sequences of the ITS region. In 2009, matK and rbcL were accepted as a 2-locus DNA barcode to classify plant species by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life Plant Working Group. The matK region was chosen as a DNA barcode because of its effective species discrimination power, high quality sequence recovery, and easy experimental procedures. Integration of matK sequences into Allium phylogeny could improve phylogenetic reconstruction of this genus. This study was carried out to test the utility of nucleotide sequences of matK for discrimination of Allium species and to compare topologies of the phylogenetic trees based on matK and ITS analyses. Topologies of the phylogenetic trees based on ITS and matK analyses were very similar but a few accessions were placed into distant phylogenetic groups. Neither ITS nor matK analyses were able to discriminate some closely related Allium species alone. However, we do not suggest the use of a concatenated data approach to increase resolving power of ITS and matK because of the presence of the paralogous sequences and different types of cytoplasm in different accessions of a species. Therefore, we can suggest use of the matK region as an additional tool for phylogenetic analysis in Allium because characterization of the nucleotide sequences of matK region was easier to recover and more cost-effective than those of the ITS region.

AB  - The charophyte green algae ( CGA, Streptophyta, Viridiplantae) occupy a key phylogenetic position as the immediate ancestors of land plants but, paradoxically, are less well-studied than the other major plant lineages. This is particularly true in the context of functional genomic studies, where the lack of an efficient protocol for their stable genetic transformation has been a major obstacle. Observations of extant CGA species suggest the existence of some of the evolutionary adaptations that had to occur for land colonization; however, to date, there has been no robust experimental platform to address this genetically. We present a protocol for high-throughput Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Penium margaritaceum, a unicellular CGA species. The versatility of Penium as a model for studying various aspects of plant cell biology and development was illustrated through non-invasive visualization of protein localization and dynamics in living cells. In addition, the utility of RNA interference ( RNAi) for reverse genetic studies was demonstrated by targeting genes associated with cell wall modification (pectin methylesterase) and biosynthesis (cellulose synthase). This provided evidence supporting current models of cell wall assembly and inter-polymer interactions that were based on studies of land plants, but in this case using direct observation in vivo. This new functional genomics platform has broad potential applications, including studies of plant organismal biology and the evolutionary innovations required for transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats.

AB  - To investigate the impacts of ancient geological and climatic events on the evolutionary history of the Aconitum nemorum species group, including A. nemorum s. str., A. karakolicum, and A. soongoricum; a total of 18 natural populations with 146 individuals were sampled, mainly from grassy slopes or the coniferous forest understory of the Tianshan Mountain Range and its surroundings. Two cpDNA intergenic spacer regions ( trnS- trnG and psbA- trnH) were sequenced and 16 haplotypes were identified. These were clustered into three divergent lineages which almost entirely corresponded to the three species. Analysis of molecular variance indicated restricted gene flow, mainly among species. High levels of genetic distance were detected among eastern populations in A. nemorum s. str. and A. karakolicum from spatial genetic landscape analysis. Neutral tests and mismatch distribution analysis suggest that A. nemorum s. str. experienced demographic expansions during interglacial periods. Based on haplotype distribution and the median-joining network, it was inferred that this species underwent two periods of eastward expansion. Our molecular dating indicates that the lineages of the complex separated during the period of the late Tertiary to late Pleistocene (11.74-0.064 million years ago), which was most likely triggered by recent rapid uplift of the Tianshan Mountains, while genetic variation at the intra-specific level might be attributed to climatic cycles in the late Quaternary.

AB  - Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, and the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of this organism is required for persistence and disease. C. jejuni produces over 47 different capsular structures, including a unique O-methyl phosphoramidate (MeOPN) modification present on most C. jejuni isolates. Although the MeOPN structure is rare in nature it has structural similarity to some synthetic pesticides. In this study, we have demonstrated, by whole genome comparisons and high resolution magic angle spinning NMR, that MeOPN modifications are common to several Campylobacter species. Using MeOPN biosynthesis and transferase mutants generated in C. jejuni strain 81–176, we observed that loss of MeOPN from the cell surface correlated with increased invasion of Caco-2 epithelial cells and reduced resistance to killing by human serum. In C. jejuni, the observed serum mediated killing was determined to result primarily from activation of the classical complement pathway. The C. jejuni MeOPN transferase mutant showed similar levels of colonization relative to the wild-type in chickens, but showed a five-fold drop in colonization when co-infected with the wild-type in piglets. In Galleria mellonella waxmoth larvae, the MeOPN transferase mutant was able to kill the insects at wild-type levels. Furthermore, injection of the larvae with MeOPN-linked monosaccharides or CPS purified from the wild-type strain did not result in larval killing, indicating that MeOPN does not have inherent insecticidal activity.

AB  - It is often suggested that horizontal gene transfer is so ubiquitous in microbes that the concept of a phylogenetic tree representing the pattern of vertical inheritance is oversimplified or even positively misleading. “Universal proteins” have been used to infer the organismal phylogeny, but have been criticized as being only the “tree of one percent.” Currently, few options exist for those wishing to rigorously assess how well a universal protein phylogeny, based on a relative handful of well-conserved genes, represents the phylogenetic histories of hundreds of genes. Here, we address this problem by proposing a visualization method and a statistical test within a Bayesian framework. We use the genomes of marine cyanobacteria, a group thought to exhibit substantial amounts of HGT, as a test case. We take 379 orthologous gene families from 28 cyanobacteria genomes and estimate the Bayesian posterior distributions of trees – a “treecloud” – for each, as well as for a concatenated dataset based on putative “universal proteins.” We then calculate the average distance between trees within and between all treeclouds on various metrics and visualize this high-dimensional space with non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMMDS). We show that the tree space is strongly clustered and that the universal protein treecloud is statistically significantly closer to the center of this tree space than any individual gene treecloud. We apply several commonly-used tests for incongruence/HGT and show that they agree HGT is rare in this dataset, but make different choices about which genes were subject to HGT. Our results show that the question of the representativeness of the “tree of one percent” is a quantitative empirical question, and that the phylogenetic central tendency is a meaningful observation even if many individual genes disagree due to the various sources of incongruence.

AB  - In partially migratory species, such as Oncorhynchus mykiss, the emergence of life history phenotypes is often attributed to fitness trade-offs associated with growth and survival. Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O. mykiss outmigrants are more likely to be female in nine populations throughout western North America (grand mean 65% female), in support of the hypothesis that anadromy is more likely to benefit females. This bias was not related to migration distance or freshwater productivity, as indicated by latitude. Within one O. mykiss population we also measured the resident sex ratio and did not observe a male bias, despite a high female bias among outmigrants in that system. We provide a simulation to demonstrate the relationship between sex ratios and the proportion of anadromy and show how sex ratios could be a valuable tool for predicting the prevalence of life history types in a population.

AB  - Chez les espèces partiellement migratrices comme la truite arc-en-ciel anadrome ( Oncorhynchus mykiss), l'apparition de phénotypes associés au cycle biologique est souvent attribuée à des compromis adaptatifs reliés à la croissance et à la survie. Ces compromis peuvent être liés à des tactiques de reproduction qui varient selon le sexe, ainsi qu'à l'influence de conditions du milieu. Nous avons constaté que, dans neuf populations de l'Ouest de l'Amérique du Nord, les O. mykiss migrant vers la mer sont plus susceptibles d'être des femelles (grande moyenne de 65 % de femelles), ce qui appuie l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'anadromie est probablement plus avantageuse pour les femelles que pour les mâles. Ce biais n'est pas relié à la distance de migration ni à la productivité du milieu d'eau douce, reflétée par la latitude. Dans une population d' O. mykiss, nous avons également mesuré le rapport des sexes des individus résidents et n'avons observé aucun biais en faveur des mâles, malgré un fort biais en faveur des femelles parmi les individus migrant vers la mer dans ce système. Nous présentons une simulation pour illustrer la relation entre les rapports des sexes et la proportion d'anadromie et démontrons que ces rapports peuvent constituer un outil intéressant pour la prédiction de la prévalence des types de cycle biologique dans une population donnée.

AB  - Measurement of particle-size distribution (PSD) of soil with large-sized particles (e.g., 25.4 mm diameter) requires a large sample and numerous particle-size analyses (PSAs). A new method is needed that would reduce time, effort, and cost for PSAs of the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles. We evaluated a nested method for sampling and PSA by comparing it with the methods that follow the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standard T88-00 and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D422-63. Using 33 forest road aggregate samples from the Clearwater National Forest in northern Idaho, the nested method required much less laboratory time and effort and resulted in similar PSA values, except for the 0.149 mm (No. 100) sieve, where the smallest particle-size fraction (PSF) values (1.30% and 1.39%) were observed. The nested method shows great potential for determining PSDs of the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles and should be tested on other forest soils and road aggregates. The nested sampling and analysis method allows for the same number of samples to be collected but requires less laboratory time, making it more efficient and economical for testing the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles such as forest road aggregate.

AB  - Il faut un vaste échantillonnage et plusieurs analyses granulométriques pour mesurer la distribution granulométrique d'un sol qui contient de grosses particules (p. ex., diamètre de 25,4 mm). Une nouvelle méthode est nécessaire pour réduire le temps, les efforts et les ressources financières nécessaires pour faire l'analyse granulométrique des sols et matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules. Nous avons évalué une méthode imbriquée pour l'échantillonnage et l'analyse granulométrique en la comparant aux méthodes prescrites par la norme T88-00 de l'American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) et la norme D422-63 de l'American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Avec 33 échantillons de granulat provenant de chemins forestiers dans la forêt nationale de Clearwater dans le nord de l'Idaho, la méthode imbriquée a nécessité beaucoup moins d'efforts et de temps de laboratoire et les valeurs de l'analyse granulométrique étaient similaires à l'exception de la passoire de 0,149 mm (N° 100) où les plus faibles valeurs (1,30 et 1,39 %) de classe granulométrique ont été observées. La méthode imbriquée offre un fort potentiel pour déterminer la distribution granulométrique des sols et matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules et elle devrait être testée pour d'autres sols forestiers et granulats utilisés pour les chemins forestiers. La méthode imbriquée d'échantillonnage et d'analyse permet de collecter la même quantité d'échantillons mais exige moins de temps de laboratoire, ce qui en fait une méthode plus efficace et plus économique pour tester les sols et les matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules tels que le granulat utilisé pour les chemins forestiers.

AB  - Ipomoea microdactyla Griseb. (Convolvulaceae) is restricted to the Bahamian archipelago, Cuba, and southeastern Florida. The species is listed as a state endangered species in Florida, where it is mostly restricted to the hyperfragmented pine rockland of Miami-Dade County. Using seven DNA microsatellite loci, we assessed levels of genetic diversity for 12 populations of this species from Andros Island in the Bahamas (six sites), Cuba (one site), and Florida (five sites). We found significantly greater mean numbers of alleles, and higher mean values for both observed and expected heterozygosity in populations from the continuous forest on Andros than those from the habitat fragments in Florida. It is unknown if these patterns of genetic diversity in the Florida populations are the result of habitat fragmentation or founder effects. The population from Cuba exhibited relatively high levels of genetic variation, suggesting that this island is a major center of diversity and dispersal for this species. It appears that hybrid introgression for I. carolina alleles within I. microdactyla individuals occurred at a single site on Andros Island. Overall, the mean inbreeding coefficient value was 0.089, suggesting low levels of inbreeding. The highest inbreeding coefficient values were mostly recorded in Florida. Two groups were revealed, one containing the populations from Florida, and the second one encompassing those from the Bahamas and Cuba. Our results highlight the negative genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation and support initiatives recently established to establish corridors to connect the remnants of the pine forest of the Miami-Dade County.

AB  - The filamentous fungusAspergillus flavusis one of the most important species in theAspergillusgenus and is distributed worldwide as a prevalent aflatoxin-producing food and feed contaminant.A. flavuscontains more than 55 gene clusters that are predicted to encode proteins involved in secondary metabolite production. One of these, cluster 27, contains a polyketide synthase (pks27) gene that encodes a protein that is highly homologous to the aflatoxin cluster PKS. Comparative metabolomics, using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to high resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) was used to detect metabolites differentially expressed in theA. flavus wild-type and∆pks27 mutant strains. Metabolite profiling was aided by a statistical differential analysis of MS data using SIEVE software. This differential analysis combined with accurate mass data from the Orbitrap and ion trap multiple stage MS allowed four metabolites to be identified that were produced only by the wild-type culture. These included asparasone A (358 Da), an anthraquinone pigment, and related anthraquinones with masses of 316, 340 and 374 Da. These latter three compounds had similar fragmentation patterns to that of asparasone A. The 316 Da anthraquinone is particularly interesting because it is most likely formed by incorporation of seven malonyl-CoA units rather than the eight units required for the formation of asparasone A. The 340 and 374 Da metabolites are the dehydration and an oxy-derivative of asparasone A, respectively. Asparasone A was also identified in extracts from several otherAspergillusspecies.

AB  - In the large Cucurbitaceae genus Cucumis, cucumber ( C. sativus) is the only species with 2 n = 2 x = 14 chromosomes. The majority of the remaining species, including melon ( C. melo) and the sister species of cucumber, C. hystrix, have 2 n = 2 x = 24 chromosomes, implying a reduction from n = 12 to n = 7. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we investigated chromosome synteny among cucumber, C. hystrix and melon using integrated and complementary approaches. We identified 14 inversions and a C. hystrix lineage-specific reciprocal inversion between C. hystrix and melon. The results reveal the location and orientation of 53 C. hystrix syntenic blocks on the seven cucumber chromosomes, and allow us to infer at least 59 chromosome rearrangement events that led to the seven cucumber chromosomes, including five fusions, four translocations, and 50 inversions. The 12 inferred chromosomes (AK1-AK12) of an ancestor similar to melon and C. hystrix had strikingly different evolutionary fates, with cucumber chromosome C1 apparently resulting from insertion of chromosome AK12 into the centromeric region of translocated AK2/AK8, cucumber chromosome C3 originating from a Robertsonian-like translocation between AK4 and AK6, and cucumber chromosome C5 originating from fusion of AK9 and AK10. Chromosomes C2, C4 and C6 were the result of complex reshuffling of syntenic blocks from three (AK3, AK5 and AK11), three (AK5, AK7 and AK8) and five (AK2, AK3, AK5, AK8 and AK11) ancestral chromosomes, respectively, through 33 fusion, translocation and inversion events. Previous results (Huang, S., Li, R., Zhang, Z. et al., , Nat. Genet. 41, 1275-1281; Li, D., Cuevas, H.E., Yang, L., Li, Y., Garcia-Mas, J., Zalapa, J., Staub, J.E., Luan, F., Reddy, U., He, X., Gong, Z., Weng, Y. 2011a, BMC Genomics, 12, 396) showing that cucumber C7 stayed largely intact during the entire evolution of Cucumis are supported. Results from this study allow a fine-scale understanding of the mechanisms of dysploid chromosome reduction that has not been achieved previously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Objective: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a multifunctional endocytic receptor that is highly expressed in adipocytes and the hypothalamus. Animal models and in vitro studies support a role for LRP1 in adipocyte metabolism and leptin signaling, but genetic polymorphisms have not been evaluated for obesity in people. Design and Methods: We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans (n=920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area. We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans (n=920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area. Results: In multivariable linear regression models, we dichotomized saturated fat intake and found significant interaction terms between total saturated fatty acids and LRP1 rs1799986 genotype for BMI (P=0.006) and hip (P=0.002). High intake of saturated fat was associated with higher BMI (P=0.001), waist (P=0.008) and hip (P=0.003) in minor allele carriers (CT+TT) compared to CC participants. Further analysis of dichotomized individual saturated fatty acids revealed that interactions were strongest for two individual longer chain fatty acids. High intake of palmitic acid (C16:0; P=0.0007) and high stearic acid intake (C18:0; P=0.005) were associated with higher BMI in T carriers. Interactions were not detected for polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusions: Gene-diet interactions at the LRP1 locus support the hypothesis that susceptibility to weight gain based on saturated fatty acids is modified by genotype and possibly by chain length. These results may facilitate the development of a panel of genetic candidates for use in optimizing dietary recommendations for obesity management.

N2  - Trichothecenes, a major class of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium, Myrothecium, and Stachybotrys species, are toxic to both plants and mammals. Simple trichothecenes, including type A (e.g., T-2 toxin) and type B (e.g., deoxynivalenol), are generally less toxic than macrocyclic trichothecenes. We sought to determine if simple trichothecenes are a potential source of candidates for development as bioherbicides, which require high phytotoxicity and low mammalian toxicity. We examined 28 simple trichothecenes in vitro for phytotoxicity using a small aquatic plant, Lemna pausicostata, and for mammalian toxicity using four cultured mammalian cell lines. Several structure-activity relationships were identified, including the following two, which may be relevant to bioherbicide development: peracetylation of type B trichothecenes and de-epoxidation of type A trichothecenes both substantially reduced mammalian toxicity with little effect on phytotoxicity. It was concluded that simple trichothecenes possessing strong phytotoxicity and minimal mammalian toxicity in vitro can be identified.

N2  - Using nationally-representative household survey data and confidential geo-coded data on violent incidents, we examine the relationship between conflict and food insecurity in Afghanistan. Spatial mappings of the raw data reveal large variations in levels of food insecurity and conflict across the country; surprisingly, high conflict provinces are not the most food insecure. Using a simple bivariate regression model of conflict (violent incidents and persons killed or injured) on food security (calorie intake and the real value of food consumed), we find mixed associations. But once we move to a multivariate framework, accounting for household characteristics and key commodity prices, we find robust evidence that in Afghanistan levels of conflict and food security are negatively correlated. We also find that households in provinces with higher levels of conflict experience muted declines in food security due to staple food price increases relative to households in provinces with lower levels of conflict, perhaps because the former are more disconnected from markets. Gaining a better understanding of linkages between conflict and food insecurity and knowing their spatial distributions can serve to inform policymakers interested in targeting scarce resources to vulnerable populations, for example, through the placement of strategic grain reserves or targeted food assistance programs.

N2  - Objective: To examine how increasing vegetable consumption from foods prepared at home (FAH) and foods prepared away from home (FAFH) would impact energy, dietary fibre and Na (sodium) intakes in the USA. Design: Using data from the 2003-2004 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, dietary intake data from two separate days were fitted with a first-difference (fixed-effects) model. Vegetables consumed from all sources, including mixed foods and juices, were disaggregated and expressed as amounts equivalent to one cup of whole vegetables. Setting: Nationally representative sample of the US population. Subjects: Individuals aged 2 years and above reporting 2 d of dietary intake data in 2003-2004 (n 7647). Results: Holding constant the total amount of food consumed, consuming an additional cup of tomatoes and potatoes from FAFH increases energy intake by respectively 1522 and 665 kJ, as compared with 246 and 367 kJ for FAH. Each additional cup of tomatoes from FAH is associated with an additional 179 mg of Na, compared with 113 mg for FAFH. All vegetable consumption increases fibre intake, except for potatoes and tomatoes from FAFH. Dark green and orange vegetables from FAH add the largest amount of fibre (1.38 g/cup). Conclusions: Because US consumers frequently consume vegetables as part of mixed foods that add energy and Na, heavier consumption of vegetables as currently prepared raises the energy content and Na density of the overall diet. This is particularly true for vegetables prepared away from home.

N2  - The majority of the US population does not meet recommendations for consumption of milk, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables. The goal of our study was to understand barriers and facilitators to adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for four nutrient-rich food groups in fifth-grade children and unrelated adult caregivers across six sites in a multistate study. A total of 281 unrelated adult caregivers (32% African American, 33% European American, and 35% Hispanic American) and 321 children (33% African American, 33% European American, and 34% Hispanic American) participated in 97 Nominal Group Technique sessions. Nominal Group Technique is a qualitative method of data collection that enables a group to generate and prioritize a large number of issues within a structure that gives everyone an equal voice. The core barriers specific to unrelated adult caregivers were lack of meal preparation skills or recipes (whole grains, fruit, vegetables); difficulty in changing eating habits (whole grains, fruit, vegetables), cost (milk, whole grains, fruit, vegetables), lack of knowledge of recommendation/portion/health benefits (milk, vegetables), and taste (milk, whole grains, vegetables). Specific to children, the core barriers were competing foods (ie, soda, junk foods, sugary foods [whole grains, milk, fruit, vegetables]), health concerns (ie, milk allergy/upset stomach [milk]), taste/flavor/smell (milk, whole grains, fruit, vegetables), forget to eat them (vegetables, fruit), and hard to consume or figure out the recommended amount (milk, fruit). For both unrelated adult caregivers and children, reported facilitators closely coincided with the barriers, highlighting modifiable conditions that could help individuals to meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

N2  - The prevalence of Giardia duodenalis assemblages in horses is poorly known. The present study examined feces from 195 horses, 1 month-17 years of age, in 4 locations in Colombia. Prevalence of infection was determined by PCR and all positives were sequenced to determine the genotypes. Thirty four (17.4%) horses were found positive. This is the first report of G. duodenalis in horses from Colombia. Prevalence in female and male horses was 18.9% and 15.1%, respectively. Prevalence in horses &lt;1 year of age and horses &gt;1 year of age was 21.1% and 15.1%, respectively. Molecular characterization using the beta giardin (bg), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh), triose phosphate isomerase (tpi), and small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssurRNA) genes identified G. duodenalis Assemblages A and B, the assemblages regarded as zoonotic.

N2  - Mammary glands are crucial to the reproductive strategy of mammals, and the milk of domesticated ruminants serves as an important source of nutrients for the human population. The majority of mammary gland development occurs postnatally, and the mammary gland undergoes cyclical periods of growth, differentiation, lactation, and regression that are coordinated to provide nutrients for offspring or are driven by strategies to manage reproduction and milk production of domesticated species. Growth and maintenance of the mammary epithelium depends on the function of mammary stem cells and progenitor cells. In this review, we provide an overview of postnatal mammary gland development, cyclical phases of mammary gland regression (regression during lactation and between successive lactations), and mammary stem cells and progenitor cells. Where possible, these processes are related to animal production and compared across species, particularly bovine, porcine, murine, and human.

N2  - The Clostridium-related poultry disease, necrotic enteritis (NE), causes substantial economic losses on a global scale. In the present study, a mixture of two plant-derived phytonutrients, Capsicum oleoresin and turmeric oleoresin (XT), was evaluated for its effects on local and systemic immune responses using a co-infection model of experimental NE in commercial broilers. Chickens were fed from hatch with a diet supplemented with XT, or with a non-supplemented control diet, and either uninfected or orally challenged with virulent Eimeria maxima oocysts at 14 d and Clostridium perfringens at 18 d of age. Parameters of protective immunity were as follows: (1) body weight; (2) gut lesions; (3) serum levels of C. perfringens α-toxin and NE B-like (NetB) toxin; (4) serum levels of antibodies to α-toxin and NetB toxin; (5) levels of gene transcripts encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the intestine and spleen. Infected chickens fed the XT-supplemented diet had increased body weight and reduced gut lesion scores compared with infected birds given the non-supplemented diet. The XT-fed group also displayed decreased serum α-toxin levels and reduced intestinal IL-8, lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α factor (LITAF), IL-17A and IL-17F mRNA levels, while cytokine/chemokine levels in splenocytes increased in the XT-fed group, compared with the animals fed the control diet. In conclusion, the present study documents the molecular and cellular immune changes following dietary supplementation with extracts of Capsicum and turmeric that may be relevant to protective immunity against avian NE.

N2  - Nixtamalisation is a widely used food processing method in which whole kernel corn is cooked and steeped in alkaline water. It reduces the amount of fumonisin B1 (FB1) that can be detected after cooking. However, the fate of FB1 during nixtamalisation is not fully understood and potentially toxic reaction products, including matrix-associated "masked" FB1 forms that are not detected by routine analytical methods might remain in nixtamalised corn. To assess how nixtamalisation of whole kernel corn affects fumonisin toxicity, male rats were fed diets containing low, mid or high levels of uncooked (LU, MU, HU) or alkaline cooked (LC, MC, HC) FB1-contaminated corn for 3 weeks. The control diet contained uncontaminated corn only. Apoptotic kidney lesions of the type caused by FB1 were not found in the LC or MC groups. Lesions in the group fed HC were minimal and less severe than those found in the rats fed LU, MU or HU. Furthermore, significantly increased sphinganine and sphingosine concentrations indicative of FB1 exposure were found in the kidneys of the rats given LU, MU or HU. Concentrations were also elevated, but to a lesser extent, in rats fed HC, whereas sphinganine and sphingosine concentrations in rats given LC or MC did not differ from the control group. FB1 concentrations in the LC (0.08 mg kg-1), MC (0.13 mg kg-1) and HC (0.37 mg kg-1) diets were markedly reduced compared with their LU (1.8 mg kg-1), MU (3.5 mg kg-1) and HU (4.2 mg kg-1) counterparts as determined by HPLC (n=1 analysis/diet). Taken together, the findings show that nixtamalisation is an effective cooking method for reducing the potential toxicity of FB1 contaminated corn.

N2  - Importance: National recommendations for the prevention and treatment of obesity emphasize reducing energy intake through self-monitoring food consumption. However, little information is available on the energy content of foods offered by nonchain restaurants, which account for approximately 50% of restaurant locations in the United States. Objective: To measure the energy content of foods from independent and small-chain restaurants that do not provide stated information on energy content. Design: We used bomb calorimetry to determine the dietary energy content of the 42 most frequently purchased meals from the 9 most common restaurant categories. Independent and small-chain restaurants were randomly selected, and 157 individual meals were analyzed. Setting: Area within 15 miles of downtown Boston. Participants: A random sample of independent and small-chain restaurants. Main Outcomes and Measures: Dietary energy. Results: All meal categories provided excessive dietary energy. The mean energy content of individual meals was 1327 (95% CI, 1248-1406) kcal, equivalent to 66% of typical daily energy requirements. We found a significant effect of food category on meal energy (P≤.05), and 7.6% of meals provided more than 100% of typical daily energy requirements. Within-meal variability was large (average SD, 271 kcal), and we found no significant effect of restaurant establishment or size. In addition, meal energy content averaged 49% greater than those of popular meals from the largest national chain restaurants (P&lt;.001) and in subset analyses contained 19% more energy than national food database information for directly equivalent items (P&lt;.001). Conclusions and Relevance: National chain restaurants have been criticized for offering meals with excess dietary energy. This study finds that independent and small-chain restaurants, which provide no nutrition information, also provide excessive dietary energy in amounts apparently greater than popular meals from chain restaurants or information in national food databases. A national requirement for accurate calorie labeling in all restaurants may discourage menus offering unhealthy portions and would allow consumers to make informed choices about ordering meals that promote weight gain and obesity.

N2  - Evidence for cardioprotective effects of lycopene is inconsistent. Studies of circulating lycopene generally report inverse associations with CVD risk, but studies based on lycopene intake do not. The failure of dietary studies to support the findings based on biomarkers may be due in part to misclassification of lycopene intakes. To address this potential misclassification, we used repeated measures of intake obtained over 10 years to characterise the relationship between lycopene intake and the incidence of CVD (n 314), CHD (n 171) and stroke (n 99) in the Framingham Offspring Study. Hazard ratios (HR) for incident outcomes were derived from Cox proportional hazards regression models using logarithmically transformed lycopene intake adjusted for CVD risk factors and correlates of lycopene intake. HR were interpreted as the increased risk for a 2.7-fold difference in lycopene intake, a difference approximately equal to its interquartile range. Using an average of three intake measures with a 9-year follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CVD incidence (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.70, 0.98). Using an average of two intake measures and 11 years of follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CHD incidence (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.58, 0.94). Lycopene intake was unrelated to stroke incidence. The present study of lycopene intake and CVD provides supporting evidence for an inverse association between lycopene and CVD risk; however, additional research is needed to determine whether lycopene or other components of tomatoes, the major dietary source of lycopene, are responsible for the observed association.

N2  - Frequently encountered parasite species impart strong selective pressures on host immune system evolution and are more apt to concurrently infect the same host, yet molecular impacts in light of this are often overlooked. We have contrasted immune responses in honey bees to two common eukaryotic endoparasites by establishing single and mixed-species infections using the long-associated parasite Crithidia mellificae and the emergent parasite Nosema ceranae. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to screen host immune gene expression at 9 time points post inoculation. Systemic responses in abdomens during early stages of parasite establishment revealed conserved receptor (Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule, Dscam and nimrod C1, nimC1), signaling (MyD88 and Imd) and antimicrobial peptide (AMP) effector (Defensin 2) responses. Late, established infections were distinct with a refined 2 AMP response to C. mellificae that contrasted starkly with a 5 AMP response to N. ceranae. Mixed species infections induced a moderate 3 AMPs. Transcription in gut tissues highlighted important local roles for Dscam toward both parasites and Imd signaling toward N. ceranae. At both systemic and local levels Dscam, MyD88 and Imd transcription was consistently correlated based on clustering analysis. Significant gene suppression occurred in two cases from midgut to ileum tissue: Dscam was lowered during mixed infections compared to N. ceranae infections and both C. mellificae and mixed infections had reduced nimC1 transcription compared to uninfected controls. We show that honey bees rapidly mount complex immune responses to both Nosema and Crithidia that are dynamic over time and that mixed-species infections significantly alter local and systemic immune gene transcription.

N2  - Accurate monitoring of US sodium intake requires familiarity with national dietary data collection and processing procedures. This article describes a data processing step that impacts sodium intake estimates, reasons for discontinuing the step, and implications of its discontinuation. This step, termed salt adjustment, was performed in US Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary intake surveys from 1985 through 2008. In What We Eat in America (WWEIA), the dietary intake interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the salt content of specific foods was reduced on the basis of a question about household use of salt in cooking. For individuals whose households used salt in cooking occasionally or less often, some or all of the salt attributable to home preparation was removed from foods that typically have salt added during preparation and were obtained from the store. The growing availability of preprepared foods in stores challenges the validity of using store purchase as a proxy indicator of home food preparation, and increased restaurant/fast-food consumption implies fewer reported foods are eligible for the procedure. In addition, USDA's Automated Multiple-Pass Method for the 24-hour dietary recall provides accurate sodium intake estimates without applying the salt-adjustment step. The final WWEIA, NHANES data release to contain salt-adjusted sodium data was 2007-2008. When assessing the effectiveness of sodium-reduction efforts over time, the nutrition community (eg, researchers, analysts, providers) must be aware of this change in WWEIA, NHANES beginning in 2009-2010 and account for it using appropriate baseline estimates.

N2  - In the past, wastes derived from agriculture products have had only limited use in the production of biofuels. Our objective in this article is to showcase a new and meaningful concept (called 'avoidance') to measure the environmental importance of converting these waste streams into energy. Agriculturally derived wastes, specifically food waste and other byproducts, are potential sources for meeting the federal RFS, which calls for increasing the production of advanced and cellulosic biofuels. In addition, the resultant stillage can be converted into other useful byproducts, such as animal feed or synthetic biogas. We provide an 'energy avoidance' framework, showing the positive environmental impacts that occur when these waste sources are properly measured, and used to produce advanced and cellulosic biofuels, animal feed and biogas.

Due to its antimicrobial activity, it can be used to control L. monocytogenes in food; however, the antimicrobial mechanism of nisin activity against L. monocytogenes is not fully understood. The CtsR (class III stress gene repressor) protein negatively regulates the expression of class III heat shock genes. A spontaneous pressure-tolerant ctsR deletion mutant that showed increased sensitivity to nisin has been identified. Microarray technology was used to monitor the gene expression profiles of the ctsR mutant under treatments with nisin. Compared to the nisin-treated wild type, 113 genes were up-regulated (&gt;2-fold increase) in the ctsR deletion mutant whereas four genes were down-regulated (&lt;-2-fold decrease). The up-regulated genes included genes that encode for ribosomal proteins, membrane proteins, cold-shock domain proteins, translation initiation and elongation factors, cell division, an ATP-dependent ClpC protease, a putative accessory gene regulator protein D, transport and binding proteins, a beta-glucoside-specific phosphotransferase system IIABC component, as well as hypothetical proteins. The down-regulated genes consisted of genes that encode for virulence, a transcriptional regulator, a stress protein, and a hypothetical protein. The gene expression changes determined by microarray assays were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR analyses. Moreover, an in-frame deletion mutant for one of the induced genes (LMOf2365_1877) was constructed in the wild-type L. monocytogenes F2365 background. ΔLMOf2365_1877 had increased nisin sensitivity compared to the wild-type strain. This study enhances our understanding of how nisin interacts with the ctsR gene product in L. monocytogenes and may contribute to the understanding of the antibacterial mechanisms of nisin.

N2  - Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a dietary component with possible anticancer effects, though much information about AITC and cancer has been obtained from cell studies. To investigate the effect of AITC on DNA integrity in vivo, a crossover study was conducted. Adults (n=46) consumed AITC, AITC-rich vegetables [mustard and cabbage (M/C)] or a control treatment with a controlled diet for 10 days each. On day 11, volunteers provided blood and urine before and after consuming treatments. Volunteers were characterized for genotype for GSTM1 and GSTT1 (glutathione S-transferases) and XPD (DNA repair). DNA integrity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assessed by single-cell gel electrophoresis. Urine was analyzed for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and creatinine. Ten-day intake of neither AITC nor M/C resulted in statistically significant differences in DNA strand breaks [least squares mean (LSmean) % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 4.8±0.6 for control, 5.7±0.7 for AITC, 5.3±0.6 for M/C] or urinary 8-oxodG (LSmean µg 8-oxodG/g creatinine±S.E.M.: 2.95±0.09 for control, 2.88±0.09 for AITC, 3.06±0.09 for M/C). Both AITC and M/C increased DNA strand breaks 3 h postconsumption (LSmean % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 3.2±0.7 for control, 8.3±1.7 for AITC, 8.0±1.7 for M/C), and this difference disappeared at 6 h (4.2±0.9 for control, 5.7±1.2 for AITC, 5.5±1.2 for M/C). Genotypes for GSTM1, GSTT1 and XPD were not associated with treatment effects. In summary, DNA damage appeared to be induced in the short term by AITC and AITC-rich products, but that damage disappeared quickly, and neither AITC nor AITC-rich products affected DNA base excision repair.

N2  - It is has been hypothesized that methylselenol is a critical selenium metabolite for anticancer activity in vivo. In this study, we used a protein array which contained 112 different antibodies known to be involved in the p53 pathway to investigate the molecular targets of methylselenol in human HCT116 colon cancer cells. The array analysis indicated that methylselenol exposure changed the expression of 11 protein targets related to the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. Subsequently, we confirmed these proteins with the Western blotting approach, and found that methylselenol increased the expression of GADD 153 and p21 but reduced the level of c-Myc, E2F1 and Phos p38 MAP kinase. Similar to our previous report on human HCT116 colon cancer cells, methylselenol also inhibited cell growth and led to an increase in G1 and G2 fractions with a concomitant drop in S-phase in mouse colon cancer MC26 cells. When the MC26 cells were transplanted to their immune-competent Balb/c mice, methylselenol-treated MC26 cells had significantly less tumor growth potential than that of untreated MC26 cells. Taken together, our data suggest that methylselenol modulates the expression of key genes related to cell cycle and apoptosis and inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth.

N2  - Objective: To provide an overview of school food and nutrition monitoring from 1980 to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and data on school food availability in the USA. Design: A review of the history of school food and nutrition policy, monitoring and evaluation efforts in the USA over the past three decades. Setting: USA. Subjects: School food service, school districts and schools nationwide. Results: The school food environment in the USA is governed by a patchwork of federal, state and local laws and policies. The federal government has primary authority over the school meal programmes and has recently issued updated regulations governing the food and nutrient requirements for meals sold or served through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Competitive foods (i.e. foods and beverages sold/served outside the meal programmes) are governed primarily by state and district laws and policies, although new federal regulations are expected to set minimum standards in this area. The USA has a long history of data monitoring and evaluation funded by government and private foundations which has enabled decision makers to monitor progress and opportunities to improve the foods and beverages made available to students in school. Conclusions: School food-related monitoring and evaluation research has been highly influential in influencing legislation and policy, leading to improvements in the foods and beverages available to children at school as part of planned meals and individual items sold outside the meal programmes. The lessons learned from the US experience provide insights that may be valuable for implementation, monitoring and evaluation of school food programmes in other countries.

N2  - Some housing systems on dairy farms can result in long-term chronic pain. The effects of acute pain on immunity have been explored, but chronic pain's influence on immune responses is still poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine chronic effects of flooring on immune responses and production in freestall housing for dairy cows. Thirty heifers were studied from before calving as first-calf heifers until d 180 of their second lactation. Treatments were rubber (Kraiburg; Agromatic Inc., Fond du Lac, WI) flooring or concrete with diamond grooves in a freestall barn, each in 2 quadrants of the barn. Heifers entered the treatments after calving, so the system was dynamic and each cow was considered an experimental unit. At the end of the first lactation, cows were housed in a bedded pack barn with pasture access until calving was imminent. At that time, they returned to their assigned treatment, but not necessarily into the same quadrant. Production, reproduction, cortisol, acute-phase proteins, and health data were recorded throughout lactation 1, locomotion was scored weekly, and hoof scoring and care was conducted on d 60 and 180 of lactations 1 and 2, and quantitative real-time-PCR of blood leukocytes was analyzed in mid lactation of lactation 1. Mature-equivalent milk fat, milk protein, and protein percentages during the first lactation were greater for cows on the rubber flooring. Hoof and leg therapy treatments per cow were fewer for rubber floor-housed cows. Locomotion scores were less for cows housed on rubber during the second lactation. White blood cell counts were less for cows housed on rubber, and caused by greater lymphocyte counts for cows housed on concrete. The possibility of chronic inflammation was substantiated by less IL-1β and more IL-1 receptor antagonists for cows housed on rubber at d 150 in the second lactation. Cortisol and acute-phase proteins did not differ between the treatments. Interferon-γ, IL-12, the modulator of tissue reconstruction (B-cell-transforming growth factor 1), and pain-modulating neurokinin (tachykinin 1) were not different at d 105. These data show indicators of chronic inflammation for cows housed on the concrete flooring compared with those housed on rubber. Implications for the use of rubber flooring in freestall barns are broader than just lameness and may affect many aspects of cow physiology and production.

N2  - The female sex pheromone has potential as a control tool for the Brown Treesnake, Boiga irregularis Merrem, a pest introduced into Guam. We conducted male-guided bioassays to determine whether potency of the female pheromone varied according to reproductive state and during vitellogenesis. In weekly simultaneous choice tests, we presented males with skin lipid samples from vitellogenic females, non-vitellogenic females, conspecific males, and carrier controls. The total time each sample was tongue-flicked was recorded: mean total tongue-flick time was highest for samples from vitellogenic females followed by samples from non-vitellogenic females. Pair-wise comparisons of male tongue-flick time for samples of non-vitellogenic females versus males and vitellogenic females versus non-vitellogenic females revealed differences in some weeks, but the greatest and most frequent differences were between vitellogenic females versus males. We observed no trend in the potency of the pheromone during vitellogenesis. Pheromone potency was greatest during vitellogenesis, with lesser potency retained while non-reproductive. Efforts at chemical identification of the pheromone and development of control tools should focus on material obtained from vitellogenic females.

N2  - The viability of a five-strain cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes or Escherichia coli O157:H7 was separately evaluated in/on goetta, a sausage-like meat product, both during extended refrigerated storage and following cooking. At 4C, L. monocytogenes numbers increased from ca. 1.4 to 8.4 log cfu/g over 90 days, whereas E. coli O157:H7 numbers remained relatively unchanged. At 12C, L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7 numbers increased from ca. 1.4 to 9.0 log cfu/g over 28 days. After cooking for 2 to 6 min per side at an external temperature of 176.7C, reductions of 0.7 to 6.6 log cfu/g were observed for L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7. Although goetta supported the growth/survival of L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7 during refrigerated storage, a ≥5-log reduction of both pathogens was achieved by cooking the product for at least 5 min per side at the manufacturer's recommended internal temperature of 73.8C.

N2  - Exposures to West Nile virus (WNV) have been documented in a variety of wild mammals in both the New and Old Worlds. This review tabulates at least 100 mammal species with evidence of WNV exposure. Many of these exposures were detected in free-ranging mammals, while several were noted in captive individuals. In addition to exposures, this review discusses experimental infections in terms of the potential for reservoir competence of select wild mammal species. Overall, few experimental infections have been conducted on wild mammals. As such, the role of most wild mammals as potential amplifying hosts for WNV is, to date, uncertain. In most instances, experimental infections of wild mammals with WNV have resulted in no or low-level viremia. Some recent studies have indicated that certain species of tree squirrels (Sciurus spp.), eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), and eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) develop viremia sufficient for infecting some mosquito species. Certain mammalian species, such as tree squirrels, mesopredators, and deer have been suggested as useful species for WNV surveillance. In this review article, the information pertaining to wild mammal associations with WNV is synthesized.

N2  - The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is a measure of diet quality in terms of conformance with federal dietary guidance. Publication of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans prompted an interagency working group to update the HEI. The HEI-2010 retains several features of the 2005 version: (a) it has 12 components, many unchanged, including nine adequacy and three moderation components; (b) it uses a density approach to set standards, eg, per 1,000 calories or as a percentage of calories; and (c) it employs least-restrictive standards; ie, those that are easiest to achieve among recommendations that vary by energy level, sex, and/or age. Changes to the index include: (a) the Greens and Beans component replaces Dark Green and Orange Vegetables and Legumes; (b) Seafood and Plant Proteins has been added to capture specific choices from the protein group; (c) Fatty Acids, a ratio of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids, replaces Oils and Saturated Fat to acknowledge the recommendation to replace saturated fat with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids; and (d) a moderation component, Refined Grains, replaces the adequacy component, Total Grains, to assess overconsumption. The HEI-2010 captures the key recommendations of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines and, like earlier versions, will be used to assess the diet quality of the US population and subpopulations, evaluate interventions, research dietary patterns, and evaluate various aspects of the food environment.

N2  - The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) state that if alcohol is consumed, it should be consumed in moderation, which is defined as up to two drinks in a single day for men and one drink for women. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the percentages of adults who, on a given day, drank more than these limits and the percentages who drank too heavily; that is, more than four drinks for men and more than three for women. Dietary intake data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010, were analyzed. Using a computer-assisted protocol, 24-hour dietary recalls were collected from 2,740 men and 2,941 women, age 21 years and older. Results were weighted to be nationally representative. Estimated mean daily intake was 1.2 drinks for men and 0.4 for women (1 drink=14 g of ethanol). On a given day, 36% of men and 21% of women consumed alcohol. Whereas 82% of men and 89% of women did not exceed the DGA's limits, 7% of men had more than four drinks, and 3% of women had more than three, amounts defined as heavy. The percentages who drank more than the DGA's limits varied by age group and were highest among men age 31 to 50 years and women age 51 to 70 years. Excessive drinking is an important health problem and is not limited to college-age individuals. Registered dietitians and other health professionals should be aware of excessive drinking by the adult US population. Consumer education resources are available.

N2  - The objective of this work was to optimize a mathematical equation for use as a primary kinetic model that employed a new approach to describe the three-phase growth of bacteria under constant temperature conditions. This research adopted an optimization algorithm in combination with the Runge-Kutta method to solve the differential form of the new growth model in search of an optimized lag phase transition coefficient (LPTC), which is used to define the adaption and duration of lag phases of bacteria prior to exponential growth. Growth curves of Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Clostridium perfringens, selected from previously published data, were analyzed to obtain an optimized LPTC for each growth curve and a global LPTC for all growth curves. With the new optimized LPTC, the new growth model could be used to accurately describe the bacterial growth curves with three distinctive phases (lag, exponential, and stationary). The new optimized LPTC significantly improved the performance and applicability of the new model. The results of statistical analysis (ANOVA) suggested that the new growth model performed equally well with the Baranyi model. It can be used as an alternative primary model for bacterial growth if the bacterial adaption is more significant in controlling the lag phase development.

N2  - Objective: Obese pregnancy is associated with significantly higher rates of infection, which can harm both mother and fetus. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of obesity on maternal blood immune function. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional, case control study of 15 obese (Ob) and 15 lean (Lc) subjects. Immune cell subsets, intracellular and serum cytokine production, and lymphocyte proliferation were measured in maternal blood during the second trimester of pregnancy. Results: Obese women had a significantly lower proportion of CD8+ and NKT cells and a higher proportion of B cells, impaired cytokine production when stimulated ex vivo, and impaired ability of lymphocytes to proliferate compared with their lean counterparts. Conclusion: Obese pregnancy is associated with impaired cell-mediated immunity. Because perinatal infections can have serious maternal and fetal consequences, it is imperative to better understand these mechanistic underpinnings to optimize prevention and devise targeted therapy.

N2  - Cinnamaldehyde was delivered in emulsion form using Acetem 90-50K as a carrier and Tween 60 as emulsifier. Cinnamaldehyde interacted with Acetem 90-50K by forming H-bonds. The effect of disperse phase characteristics on storage stability, physical and antimicrobial properties was investigated. A storage test of emulsions was carried out for 15 days at two temperatures (22 and 4°C). Emulsions and nano-emulsions showed higher stability at 22°C than at 4°C. Nano-emulsions displayed excellent stability versus creaming and coalescence after 15 days storage at 22°C (z-avg &lt;100 nm). Physical properties were greatly affected by droplet size and concentration. Emulsions became less viscous, more transparent and darker as the droplet size or concentration decreased. The antimicrobial activity was measured against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli was highly resistant to cinnamaldehyde compared to L. monocytogenes. Incubation with cinnamaldehyde at 2.5 mM caused the complete inactivation of L. monocytogenes after 1 day and of E. coli after 9 days. There was no difference in the antimicrobial effect of cinnamaldehyde due to different droplet sizes (~80 and ~5,000 nm).

N2  - Enhanced n-3 fatty acid intake benefits cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction. Increasing consumption at a population level may be better addressed by diet than through supplementation. However, limited data are available on the effect of the dose response to fish intake on plasma levels of n-3 fatty acids. To compare the effects of different doses of farmed Atlantic salmon on plasma phospholipid fatty acid proportions and CVD risk biomarkers (eg, glucose, insulin, homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6) in healthy subjects we performed a randomized three-period crossover-designed trial (4-week treatment, 4- to 8-week washout) to compare the effects of twice per week consumption of farmed Atlantic salmon at doses of 90, 180, and 270 g in 19 apparently healthy men and women (mean age 40 to 65 years) and a body mass index between 25 and 34.9. All study visits were conducted at the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center. Eicosapentaenoic acid and total n-3 concentrations were increased (P&lt;0.05) by all treatments in a dose-response manner, with total n-3 of 8.03%±0.26% and 9.21%±0.26% for 180- and 270-g doses, respectively. Linoleic acid did not change in response to treatment, whereas arachidonic acid (P&lt;0.05) and total n-6 fatty acids decreased dose dependently (&lt;0.0001). The addition of farmed Atlantic salmon to the diet twice per week for 4 weeks at portions of 180 g and 270 g modifies phospholipid fatty acid proportions of n-3 and n-6 in a level associated with decreased risk for CVD.

AB  - Objective: Measurement error in self-reported total sugars intake may obscure associations between sugars consumption and health outcomes, and the sum of 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose may serve as a predictive biomarker of total sugars intake.Design: The Study of Latinos: Nutrition & Physical Activity Assessment Study (SOLNAS) was an ancillary study to the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort. Doubly labelled water and 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were used as biomarkers of energy and sugars intake, respectively. Participants' diets were assessed by up to three 24 h recalls (88 % had two or more recalls). Procedures were repeated approximately 6 months after the initial visit among a subset of ninety-six participants.Setting: Four centres (Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; San Diego, CA) across the USA.Subjects: Men and women (n 477) aged 18-74 years.Results: The geometric mean of total sugars was 167·5 (95 % CI 154·4, 181·7) g/d for the biomarker-predicted and 90·6 (95 % CI 87·6, 93·6) g/d for the self-reported total sugars intake. Self-reported total sugars intake was not correlated with biomarker-predicted sugars intake (r=-0·06, P=0·20, n 450). Among the reliability sample (n 90), the reproducibility coefficient was 0·59 for biomarker-predicted and 0·20 for self-reported total sugars intake.Conclusions: Possible explanations for the lack of association between biomarker-predicted and self-reported sugars intake include measurement error in self-reported diet, high intra-individual variability in sugars intake, and/or urinary sucrose and fructose may not be a suitable proxy for total sugars intake in this study population.

AB  - We challenged reindeer by the intracranial route with the agent of chronic wasting disease sourced from white-tailed deer, mule deer, or elk and tested for horizontal transmission to naive reindeer. Reindeer were susceptible to chronic wasting disease regardless of source species. Horizontal transmission occurred through direct contact or indirectly through the environment.

AB  - Heartland virus (HRTV) is a recently described phlebovirus initially isolated in 2009 from 2 humans who had leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Serologic assessment of domestic and wild animal populations near the residence of 1 of these persons showed high exposure rates to raccoons, white-tailed deer, and horses. To our knowledge, no laboratory-based assessments of viremic potential of animals infected with HRTV have been performed. We experimentally inoculated several vertebrates (raccoons, goats, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, C57BL/6 mice, and interferon-α/β/γ receptor-deficient [Ag129]) mice with this virus. All animals showed immune responses against HRTV after primary or secondary exposure. However, neutralizing antibody responses were limited. Only Ag129 mice showed detectable viremia and associated illness and death, which were dose dependent. Ag129 mice also showed development of mean peak viral antibody titers >8 log10 PFU/mL, hemorrhagic hepatic lesions, splenomegaly, and large amounts of HRTV antigen in mononuclear cells and hematopoietic cells in the spleen.

AB  - Objective: To investigate the physical and metabolic determinants of endothelial dysfunction, an early marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, in normal weight and overweight adolescents with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.Study Design: A cross-sectional study of 81 adolescents: 21 normal weight, 25 overweight with normal glucose tolerance, 19 overweight with impaired glucose regulation, and 16 with type 2 diabetes mellitus underwent evaluation of reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and augmentation index (AIx) at heart rate 75 bpm by peripheral arterial tonometry; oral glucose tolerance test, lipid profile, and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to measure insulin sensitivity; and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging for percentage of body fat and abdominal fat partitioning.Results: Participants across tertiles of RHI (1.2 ± 0.02, 1.5 ± 0.02, and 2.0 ± 0.05, P < .001) had similar age, sex, race, lipid profile, and blood pressure. Body mass index z-score, percentage body fat, abdominal fat, and hemoglobin A1c decreased, and insulin sensitivity increased from the first to third tertile. RHI was inversely related to percentage body fat (r = -0.29, P = .008), total (r = -0.37, P = .004), subcutaneous (r = -0.39, P = .003), and visceral (r = -0.26, P = .04) abdominal fat. AIx at heart rate 75 bpm was higher (worse) in the lower RHI tertiles (P = .04), was positively related to percentage body fat (r = 0.26, P = .021), and inversely related to age, insulin sensitivity, and inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-α and plasminogen activator inhibition-1).Conclusions: Childhood obesity, particularly abdominal adiposity, is associated with endothelial dysfunction manifested by worse reactive hyperemia and higher AIx. Insulin resistance appears to mediate this relationship.

AB  - Objective: To examine the association of both perceived and geographic neighbourhood food access with food security status among households with children.Design: This was a cross-sectional study in which participants' perceptions of neighbourhood food access were assessed by a standard survey instrument, and geographic food access was evaluated by distance to the nearest supermarket. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the associations.Subjects: The Midlands Family Study included 544 households with children in eight counties in South Carolina, USA. Food security status among participants was classified into three categories: food secure (FS), food insecure (FI) and very low food security among children (VLFS-C).Results: Compared with FS households, VLFS-C households had lower odds of reporting easy access to adequate food shopping. VLFS-C households also had lower odds of reporting neighbourhood access to affordable fruits and vegetables compared with FS households and reported worse selection of fruits and vegetables, quality of fruits and vegetables, and selection of low-fat products. FI households had lower odds of reporting fewer opportunities to purchase fast food. None of the geographic access measures was significantly associated with food security status.Conclusions: Caregivers with children who experienced hunger perceived that they had less access to healthy affordable food in their community, even though grocery stores were present. Approaches to improve perceived access to healthy affordable food should be considered as part of the overall approach to improving food security and eliminating child hunger.

AB  - Objective: Estimates of fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption vary depending on intake definition, which may be determined by research purpose. Researchers have used two methods to evaluate intake: epidemiological and behavioural. The present study describes FV intake by adults using epidemiological v. behavioural approaches.Design: One-day dietary intake data from What We Eat In America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2012 were used. Sample weights were used to produce nationally representative estimates. FV intake (in cup-equivalents (CE)) was estimated using the Food Patterns Equivalents Database. The epidemiological method considered all FV after disaggregating foods and beverages. The behavioural method included foods that provided at least 0·2 CE FV per 100 g, and excluded sources high in fat, added sugar and Na.Setting: Nationally representative survey of the US population.Subjects: Adults (n 10 563) aged ≥20 years.Results: For epidemiological v. behavioural, fruit intake was 1·1 v. 1·0 CE for males and 1·0 v. 0·9 CE for females. Vegetable intake was 1·8 v. 1·1 CE for males and 1·5 v. 1·0 CE for females.Conclusions: The definition of FV intake affects estimates of consumption by the population and is an important consideration when planning and comparing research studies. The method used should align with research goals to assure accurate interpretation and validity of results.

AB  - Background: A national health objective is to reduce average U.S. sodium intake to 2,300 mg daily to help prevent high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Identifying common contributors to sodium intake among children can help reduction efforts. Methods: Average sodium intake, sodium consumed per calorie, and proportions of sodium from food categories, place obtained, and eating occasion were estimated among 2,266 school-aged (6-18 years) participants in What We Eat in America, the dietary intake component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010. Results: U.S. school-aged children consumed an estimated 3,279 mg of sodium daily with the highest total intake (3,672 mg/d) and intake per 1,000 kcal (1,681 mg) among high school-aged children. Forty-three percent of sodium came from 10 food categories: pizza, bread and rolls, cold cuts/cured meats, savory snacks, sandwiches, cheese, chicken patties/nuggets/tenders, pasta mixed dishes, Mexican mixed dishes, and soups. Sixty-five percent of sodium intake came from store foods, 13% from fast food/pizza restaurants, 5% from other restaurants, and 9% from school cafeteria foods. Among children aged 14-18 years, 16% of total sodium intake came from fast food/pizza restaurants versus 11% among those aged 6-10 years or 11-13 years (p<0.05). Among children who consumed a school meal on the day assessed, 26% of sodium intake came from school cafeteria foods. Thirty-nine percent of sodium was consumed at dinner, followed by lunch (29%), snacks (16%), and breakfast (15%). Implications for Public Health Practice: Sodium intake among school-aged children is much higher than recommended. Multiple food categories, venues, meals, and snacks contribute to sodium intake among school-aged children supporting the importance of populationwide strategies to reduce sodium intake. New national nutrition standards are projected to reduce the sodium content of school meals by approximately 25%-50% by 2022. Based on this analysis, if there is no replacement from other sources, sodium intake among U.S. school-aged children will be reduced by an average of about 75-150 mg per day and about 220-440 mg on days children consume school meals.

AB  - Background: Eating more fruits and vegetables adds underconsumed nutrients to diets, reduces the risks for leading causes of illness and death, and helps manage body weight. This report describes trends in the contributions of fruits and vegetables to the diets of children aged 2-18 years. Methods: CDC analyzed 1 day of 24-hour dietary recalls from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2003 to 2010 to estimate trends in children's fruit and vegetable intake in cup-equivalents per 1,000 calories (CEPC) and trends by sex, age, race/ethnicity, family income to poverty ratio, and obesity status. Total fruit includes whole fruit (all fruit excluding juice) and fruit juice (from 100% juice, foods, and other beverages). Total vegetables include those encouraged in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 (i.e., dark green, orange, and red vegetables and legumes), white potatoes, and all other vegetables. Results: Total fruit intake among children increased from 0.55 CEPC in 2003-2004 to 0.62 in 2009-2010 because of significant increases in whole fruit intake (0.24 to 0.40 CEPC). Over this period, fruit juice intake significantly decreased (0.31 to 0.22 CEPC). Total vegetable intake did not change (0.54 to 0.53 CEPC). No socio-demographic group met the Healthy People 2020 target of 1.1 CEPC vegetables, and only children aged 2-5 years met the target of 0.9 CEPC fruits. Conclusions: Children's total fruit intake increased because of increases in whole fruit consumption, but total vegetable intake remained unchanged. Implications for Public Health Practice: Increased attention to the policies and food environments in multiple settings, including schools, early care and education, and homes might help continue the progress in fruit intake and improve vegetable intake.

AB  - A warming earth has lost substantial mountain-stored frozen fresh water, thus generating a pressing need for greater liquid-water storage within upper-elevation riparian systems. Liquid-water storage can be enhanced by avoiding microtopographic channels that facilitate land drainage and rapid runoff. A number of authors have attributed certain forms of wetland hummocks and inter-hummock channels to grazing livestock but there is little evidence in the scientific literature for a cause and effect mechanism. We used comparisons at six fencelines on four meadow and wetland complexes to test the null hypothesis that grazing management makes no difference in hummocks and inter-hummock channels measured as surface roughness. Surface roughness was measured both photogrammetrically (photo) and with an erosion bridge (EB), and the measurements expressed as surface roughness indices (SRIs). Wetland surface roughness inside fenced areas was 44 (EB) and 41 (photo). Wetland surface roughness outside fenced areas was more than 50 % higher ( p < 0.0001), measuring 76 (EB, n = 6) and 62 (photo, n = 4). The site with the longest period of conservation management (50+ years) had the lowest inside EB SRI at 27. The two independent measurement methods, EB and photo, yielded similar, correlated results ( R = 0.71, n = 8). Historical aerial photography provides supporting evidence for our findings. We reject the null hypothesis and while we suspect macrotopography, hydrology, soil type, and climate are factors in hummock formation, our evidence supports the thesis that hummocks formed surface-down by inter-hummock channels result primarily from grazing by domestic livestock.

AB  - Introduction: Life cycle assessment (LCA) has a technical architecture that limits data interoperability, transparency, and automated integration of external data. More advanced information technologies offer promise for increasing the ease with which information can be synthesized within an LCA framework. Vision: A new architecture is described that combines, stores, and annotates data for life cycle assessment. The Resource Description Framework is proposed for managing LCA data. To explore the capabilities of this approach, the LCA Harmonization Tool (LCA-HT) is being developed to map and store data from different sources and to clearly capture user-defined relationships between nomenclatures for easy use. It will enable increased interoperability of LCA data and more structured and automated incorporation of non-LCA data into LCA models. Moving forward: The LCA-HT is intended to be a core component of LCA data architecture (a data commons) used by US federal agencies and other data providers to make data representing US conditions more accessible for public use. It will also be used to bring together data from human health exposure models with traditional LCA for evaluating near-field human health risk in the life cycle context to demonstrate the practical advancements possible with this new architecture. The tool will remain open source and freely available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Experimental research in the Ethiopian highlands found that saturation excess induced runoff and erosion are common in the sub-humid conditions. Because most erosion simulation models applied in the highlands are based on infiltration excess, we, as an alternative, developed the Parameter Efficient Distributed (PED) model, which can simulate water and sediment fluxes in landscapes with saturation excess runoff. The PED model has previously only been tested at the outlet of a watershed and not for distributed runoff and sediment concentration within the watershed. In this study, we compare the distributed storm runoff and sediment concentration of the PED model against collected data in the 95-ha Debre Mawi watershed and three of its nested sub-watersheds for the 2010 and 2011 rainy seasons. In the PED model framework, the hydrology of the watershed is divided between infiltrating and runoff zones, with erosion only taking place from two surface runoff zones. Daily storm runoff and sediment concentration values, ranging from 0.5 to over 30 mm and from 0.1 to 35 g l−1, respectively, were well simulated. The Nash Sutcliffe efficiency values for the daily storm runoff for outlet and sub-watersheds ranged from 0.66 to 0.82, and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency for daily sediment concentrations were greater than 0.78. Furthermore, the model uses realistic fractional areas for surface and subsurface flow contributions, for example between saturated areas (15%), degraded areas (30%) and permeable areas (55%) at the main outlet, while close similarity was found for the remaining hydrology and erosion parameter values. One exception occurred for the distinctly greater transport limited parameter at the actively gullying lower part of the watershed. The results suggest that the model based on saturation excess provides a good representation of the observed spatially distributed runoff and sediment concentrations within a watershed by modelling the bottom lands (as opposed to the uplands) as the dominant contributor of the runoff and sediment load.

AB  - Integrated river basin models should provide a spatially distributed representation of basin hydrology and transport processes to allow for spatially implementing specific management and conservation measures. To accomplish this, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was modified by integrating a landscape routing model to simulate water flow across discretized routing units. This paper presents a grid-based version of the SWAT landscape model that has been developed to enhance the spatial representation of hydrology and transport processes. The modified model uses a new flow separation index that considers topographic features and soil properties to capture channel and landscape flow processes related to specific landscape positions. The resulting model is spatially fully distributed and includes surface, lateral and groundwater fluxes in each grid cell of the watershed. Furthermore, it more closely represents the spatially heterogeneous distributed flow and transport processes in a watershed. The model was calibrated and validated for the Little River Watershed (LRW) near Tifton, Georgia (USA). Water balance simulations as well as the spatial distribution of surface runoff, subsurface flow and evapotranspiration are examined. Model results indicate that groundwater flow is the dominant landscape process in the LRW. Results are promising, and satisfactory output was obtained with the presented grid-based SWAT landscape model. Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiencies for daily stream flow were 0.59 and 0.63 for calibration and validation periods, and the model reasonably simulates the impact of the landscape position on surface runoff, subsurface flow and evapotranspiration. Additional revision of the model will likely be necessary to adequately represent temporal variations of transport and flow processes in a watershed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB  - Downed dead wood (DDW) in forest ecosystems is a C pool whose net flux is governed by a complex of natural and anthropogenic processes and is critical to the management of the entire forest C pool. As empirical examination of DDW C net flux has rarely been conducted across large scales, the goal of this study was to use a remeasured inventory of DDW C and ancillary forest attributes to assess C net flux across forests of the Eastern US. Stocks associated with large fine woody debris (diameter 2.6-7.6 cm) decreased over time (−0.11 Mg ha year), while stocks of larger-sized coarse DDW increased (0.02 Mg ha year). Stocks of total DDW C decreased (−0.14 Mg ha year), while standing dead and live tree stocks both increased, 0.01 and 0.44 Mg ha year, respectively. The spatial distribution of DDW C stock change was highly heterogeneous with random forests model results indicating that management history, live tree stocking, natural disturbance, and growing degree days only partially explain stock change. Natural disturbances drove substantial C transfers from the live tree pool (≈−4 Mg ha year) to the standing dead tree pool (≈3 Mg ha year) with only a minimal increase in DDW C stocks (≈1 Mg ha year) in lower decay classes, suggesting a delayed transfer of C to the DDW pool. The assessment and management of DDW C flux is complicated by the diversity of natural and anthropogenic forces that drive their dynamics with the scale and timing of flux among forest C pools remaining a large knowledge gap.

AB  - Intermediate wheatgrass ( Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey), a segmental autoallohexaploid (2 n = 6 x = 42), is not only an important forage crop but also a valuable gene reservoir for wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) improvement. Throughout the scientific literature, there continues to be disagreement as to the origin of the different genomes in intermediate wheatgrass. Genotypic data obtained from newly developed EST-SSR primers derived from the putative progenitor diploid species Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) Á. Löve ( St genome), Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve ( J = Jb = Eb), and Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D. Dewey ( E = Je = Ee) indicate that the V genome of Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand is not one of the three genomes in intermediate wheatgrass. Based on all available information in the literature and findings in this study, the genomic designation of intermediate wheatgrass should be changed to JvsJrSt, where Jvs and Jr represent ancestral genomes of present-day Jb of Th. bessarabicum and Je of Th. elongatum, with Jvs being more ancient. Furthermore, the information suggests that the St genome in intermediate wheatgrass is most similar to the present-day St found in diploid species of Pseudoroegneria from Eurasia.

Dewey), une espèce autoallohexaploïde segmentaire (2 n = 6 x = 42), est non seulement une plante fourragère importante mais aussi un précieux réservoir de gènes pour l'amélioration génétique du blé ( Triticum aestivum L.). Dans la littérature scientifique, un désaccord persiste quant à l'origine des différents génomes présents au sein du chiendent intermédiaire. Des données génotypiques, obtenues à l'aide de nouvelles amorces EST-SSR dérivées des espèces diploïdes donatrices putatives Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) Á. Löve (génome St), Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul & Rayss) Á. Löve ( J = Jb = Eb) et Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D. Dewey ( E = Je = Ee), indiquent que le génome V du Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand n'est pas l'un des trois génomes chez le chiendent intermédiaire. Sur la base de toutes les informations disponibles dans la littérature et des résultats de cette étude, la formule génomique du chiendent intermédiaire devrait être changée pour JvsJrSt, où Jvs et Jr représentent les génomes ancestraux correspondant aux génomes actuels du Th. bessarabicum ( Jb) et du Th. elongatum ( Je), le Jvs étant le plus ancien. De plus, ces informations suggèrent que le génome St chez le chiendent intermédiaire ressemble le plus aux génomes St contemporains au sein des espèces diploïdes du genre Pseudoroegneria de l'Eurasie.

AB  - ABSTRACT Soil invertebrates, mammals, and plants penetrate and exploit the surface soil layer (i.e., the biologically active zone) to varying depths. As the US Department of Energy remediates radioactive and hazardous wastes in soil at the Hanford Site, a site-specific definition of the biologically active zone is needed to identify the depth to which remedial actions should be taken to protect the environment and avoid excessive cleanup expenditures. This definition may then be considered in developing a point of compliance for remediation in accordance with existing regulations. Under the State of Washington Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA), the standard point of compliance for soil cleanup levels with unrestricted land use is 457 cm (15 ft) below ground surface. When institutional controls are required to control excavations to protect people, MTCA allows a conditional point of compliance to protect biological resources based on the depth of the biologically active zone. This study was undertaken to identify and bound the biologically active zone based on ecological resources present at the Hanford Site. Primary data were identified describing the depths to which ants, mammals, and plants may exploit the surface soil column at the Hanford Site and other comparable locations. The maximum depth observed for harvester ants ( Pogonomyrmex spp.) was 270 cm (8.9 ft), with only trivial excavation below 244 cm (8 ft). Badgers ( Taxidea taxus) are the deepest burrowing mammal at the Hanford Site, with maximum burrow depths of 230 cm (7.6 ft); all other mammals did not burrow below 122 cm (4 ft). Shrubs are the deepest rooting plants with rooting depths to 300 cm (9.8 ft) for antelope bitterbrush ( Purshia tridentata). The 2 most abundant shrub species did not have roots deeper than 250 cm (8.2 ft). The deepest rooted forb had a maximum root depth of 240 cm (7.9 ft). All other forbs and grasses had rooting depths of 200 cm (6.6 ft) or less. These data indicate that the biologically active soil zone in the Hanford Central Plateau does not exceed 300 cm (9.8 ft), the maximum rooting depth for the deepest rooting plant. The maximum depth at which most other plant and animal species occur is substantially shallower. Spatial distribution and density of burrows and roots over depths were also evaluated. Although maximum excavation by harvester ants is 270 cm (8.9 ft), trivial volume of soil is excavated below 150 cm (∼5 ft). Maximum rooting depths for all grasses, forbs, and the most abundant and deepest rooting shrubs are 300 cm (9.8 ft) or less. Most root biomass (>50-80%) is concentrated in the top 100 cm (3.3 ft), whereas at the maximum depth (9.8 ft), only trace root biomass is present. Available data suggest a limited likelihood for significant transport of contaminants to the surface by plants at or below 244 cm (8 ft), and suggest that virtually all plants or animal species occurring on the Central Plateau have a negligible likelihood for transporting soil contaminants to the surface from depths at or below 305 cm (10 ft).

AB  - An important share of paleoclimatic information is buried within the lowermost layers of deep ice cores. Because improving our records further back in time is one of the main challenges in the near future, it is essential to judge how deep these records remain unaltered, since the proximity of the bedrock is likely to interfere both with the recorded temporal sequence and the ice properties. In this paper, we present a multiparametric study (δD-δ18Oice, δ18Oatm, total air content, CO2, CH4, N2O, dust, high resolution chemistry, ice texture) of the bottom 60 m of the EPICA Dome C ice core from central Antarctica. These bottom layers have been subdivided in two sections: the lower 12 m showing visible solid inclusions (basal ice) and the 48 m above which we refer to as "deep ice". Some of the data are consistent with a pristine paleoclimatic signal, others show clear anomalies. It is demonstrated that neither large scale bottom refreezing of subglacial water, nor mixing (be it internal or with a local basal end-term from a previous/initial ice sheet configuration) can explain the observed bottom ice properties. We focus on the high-resolution chemical profiles and on the available remote sensing data on the subglacial topography of the site to propose a mechanism by which relative stretching of the bottom ice sheet layers is made possible, due to the progressively confining effect of subglacial valley sides. This stress field change, combined with bottom ice temperature close to the pressure melting point, induces accelerated migration recrystallization, which results in spatial chemical sorting of the impurities, depending on their state (dissolved vs. solid) and if they are involved or not in salt formation. This chemical sorting effect is responsible for the progressive build-up of the visible solid aggregates that therefore mainly originate "from within", and not from incorporation processes of allochtone material at the ice-bedrock interface. We also discuss how the proposed mechanism is compatible with the other variables described. We conclude that the paleoclimatic signal is only marginally affected in terms of global ice properties at the bottom of EPICA Dome C, but that the time scale has been considerably distorted by mechanical stretching of MIS20 due to the increasing influence of the subglacial topography, a process that might have started well above the bottom ice.

AB  - The Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) system is an application framework for designing and implementing spatially enabled knowledge-based decision support systems for environmental analysis and planning at any geographic scale(s). The system integrates state-of-the-art geographic information system, as well as knowledge-based reasoning and decision modeling, technologies to provide decision support for the adaptive management process of ecosystem management. It integrates a logic engine to perform landscape evaluations, and a decision engine for developing management priorities. The logic component: (1) reasons about large, abstract, multi-faceted ecosystem management problems; (2) performs useful evaluations with incomplete information; (3) evaluates the influence of missing information, and (4) determines priorities for missing information. The planning component determines priorities for management activities, taking into account not only ecosystem condition, but also criteria that account for logistical concerns of potential management actions. Both components include intuitive diagnostic features that facilitate communicating modeling results to a broad audience. Features of the system design that have figured in its success over the past 20 years are highlighted, together with design features planned for the next several versions needed to provide spatial decision support for adaptive management under climate change.

AB  - The genome compositions and genetic relationships of seven species of Kengyilia were assessed using a sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) technique. Five species, K. kokonorica, K. rigidula, K. hirsuta, K. grandiglumis, and K. thoroldiana, are native to Qinghai (China). The other two, K. alatavica and K. batalinii, are distributed in Xinjiang (China) and Kyrgyzstan, respectively. Each chromosome could be easily identified using chromosome markers (45S rDNA, 5S rDNA, pAs1, and AAG repeats) by FISH and allocated to the St, P, or Y genome by GISH. Molecular karyotype comparison indicated that K. alatavica and K. batalinii were distinct from the Qinghai species in all three genomes. These results support that the species of Kengyilia from Central Asia and the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau have independent origins. Genomic differentiation was still detected among the species of Kengyilia from Qinghai. Specifically, a common species-specific pericentric inversion was identified in both K. grandiglumis and K. thoroldiana, and an identical St-P non-Robertsonian translocation was frequently detected in K. hirsuta. The Qinghai species formed three genetic groups, K. kokonorica- K. rigidula, K. hirsuta, and K. grandiglumis- K. thoroldiana. The possible role of species-specific inversions and translocations in the evolution of StPY species is discussed. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La composition du génome et les relations génétiques au sein de sept espèces du genre Kengyilia ont été étudiées au moyen d'analyses FISH (hybridation in situ en fluorescence) séquentielles et GISH (hybridation génomique in situ). Cinq de ces espèces, K. kokonorica, K. rigidula, K. hirsuta, K. grandiglumis et K. thoroldiana sont originaires du Qinghai (Chine). Les deux autres, K. alatavica et K. batalinii, sont retrouvées respectivement dans le Xinjiang (Chine) et le Kyrgyzstan. Chacun des chromosomes a été aisément distingué au moyen de marqueurs chromosomiques (ADNr 45S, ADNr 5S, pAS1 et répétitions AAG) par analyse FISH et l'appartenance au génome St, P ou Y a été établie par analyse GISH. La comparaison des caryotypes moléculaires a révélé que le K. alatavica et le K. batalinii sont des espèces distinctes des espèces du Qinghai pour tous les génomes. Ces résultats appuient l'hypothèse voulant que les espèces provenant d'Asie centrale et du Qinghai-Plateau tibétain auraient des origines indépendantes. De la différentiation génomique a aussi été détectée au sein des espèces de Kengyilia du Qinghai. Spécifiquement, une inversion péricentrique spécifique commune a été identifiée chez le K. grandiglumis et le K. thoroldiana, tandis qu'une translocation non-robertsonienne St- P identique a été détectée fréquemment chez le K. hirsuta. Les espèces du Qinghai ont formé trois groupes, K. kokonorica- K. rigidula, K. hirsuta et K. grandiglumis- K. thoroldiana. Les auteurs discutent des rôles possibles qu'auraient joués ces inversions et translocations spécifiques des espèces dans l'évolution des espèces à génomes StPY.

AB  - Prophages are highly dynamic components in the bacterial genome and play an important role in intraspecies variations. There are at least two prophages in the chromosomes of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) Floridian isolates. Las is both unculturable and the most prevalent species of Liberibacter pathogens that cause huanglongbing (HLB), a worldwide destructive disease of citrus. In this study, seven new prophage variants resulting from two hyper-variable regions were identified by screening clone libraries of infected citrus, periwinkle and psyllids. Among them, Types A and B share highly conserved sequences and localize within the two prophages, FP1 and FP2, respectively. Although Types B and C were abundant in all three libraries, Type A was much more abundant in the libraries from the Las-infected psyllids than from the Las-infected plants, and Type D was only identified in libraries from the infected host plants but not from the infected psyllids. Sequence analysis of these variants revealed that the variations may result from recombination and rearrangement events. Conventional PCR results using type-specific molecular markers indicated that A, B, C and D are the four most abundant types in Las-infected citrus and periwinkle. However, only three types, A, B and C are abundant in Las-infected psyllids. Typing results for Las-infected citrus field samples indicated that mixed populations of Las bacteria present in Floridian isolates, but only the Type D population was correlated with the blotchy mottle symptom. Extended cloning and sequencing of the Type D region revealed a third prophage/phage in the Las genome, which may derive from the recombination of FP1 and FP2. Dramatic variations in these prophage regions were also found among the global Las isolates. These results are the first to demonstrate the prophage/phage-mediated dynamics of Las populations in plant and insect hosts, and their correlation with insect transmission and disease development.

AB  - Human health is inextricably linked to the health of animals and the viability of ecosystems; this is a concept commonly known as One Health. Over the last 2 decades, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) have published consensus reports and workshop summaries addressing a variety of threats to animal, human, and ecosystem health. We reviewed a selection of these publications and identified recommendations from NRC and IOM/NRC consensus reports and from opinions expressed in workshop summaries that are relevant to implementation of the One Health paradigm shift. We grouped these recommendations and opinions into thematic categories to determine if sufficient attention has been given to various aspects of One Health. We conclude that although One Health themes have been included throughout numerous IOM and NRC publications, identified gaps remain that may warrant targeted studies related to the One Health approach.

AB  - Most fruits in our daily diet are the products of domestication and breeding. Here we report a map of genome variation for a major fruit that encompasses ∼3.6 million variants, generated by deep resequencing of 115 cucumber lines sampled from 3,342 accessions worldwide. Comparative analysis suggests that fruit crops underwent narrower bottlenecks during domestication than grain crops. We identified 112 putative domestication sweeps; 1 of these regions contains a gene involved in the loss of bitterness in fruits, an essential domestication trait of cucumber. We also investigated the genomic basis of divergence among the cultivated populations and discovered a natural genetic variant in a β-carotene hydroxylase gene that could be used to breed cucumbers with enhanced nutritional value. The genomic history of cucumber evolution uncovered here provides the basis for future genomics-enabled breeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Recent immunological data demonstrated that dendritic cells preferentially recognize advanced glycation end product ( AGE)-modified proteins, upregulate expression of the receptor for AGE ( RAGE), and consequently bias the immune response toward allergy. Methods Peanut extract was characterized by mass spectrometry ( MS) to elucidate the specific residues and specific AGE modifications found in raw and roasted peanuts and on rAra h 1 that was artificially glycated by incubation with glucose or xylose. The binding of the RAGE-V1C1 domain to peanut allergens was assessed by PAGE and Western analysis with anti-Ara h 1, 2, and 3 antibodies. IgE binding to rAra h 1 was also assessed using the same methods. Results AGE modifications were found on Ara h 1 and Ara h 3 in both raw and roasted peanut extract. No AGE modifications were found on Ara h 2. Mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis demonstrated that RAGE binds selectively to Ara h 1 and Ara h 3 derived from peanut extract, whereas the analysis failed to demonstrate Ara h 2 binding to RAGE. rAra h 1 with no AGE modifications did not bind RAGE; however, after AGE modification with xylose, rAra h 1 bound to RAGE. Conclusions AGE modifications to Ara h 1 and Ara h 3 can be found in both raw and roasted peanuts. Receptor for AGE was demonstrated to selectively interact with AGE-modified rAra h 1. If sensitization to peanut allergens occurs in dendritic cells via RAGE interactions, these cells are likely interacting with modified Ara h 1 and Ara h 3, but not Ara h 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Triticum aestivum aluminum-activated malate transporter ( Ta ALMT1) is the founding member of a unique gene family of anion transporters ( ALMTs) that mediate the efflux of organic acids. A small sub-group of root-localized ALMTs, including Ta ALMT1, is physiologically associated with in planta aluminum ( Al) resistance. Ta ALMT1 exhibits significant enhancement of transport activity in response to extracellular Al. In this study, we integrated structure-function analyses of structurally altered Ta ALMT1 proteins expressed in Xenopus oocytes with phylogenic analyses of the ALMT family. Our aim is to re-examine the role of protein domains in terms of their potential involvement in the Al-dependent enhancement (i.e. Al-responsiveness) of Ta ALMT1 transport activity, as well as the roles of all its 43 negatively charged amino acid residues. Our results indicate that the N-domain, which is predicted to form the conductive pathway, mediates ion transport even in the absence of the C-domain. However, segments in both domains are involved in Al3+ sensing. We identified two regions, one at the N-terminus and a hydrophobic region at the C-terminus, that jointly contribute to the Al-response phenotype. Interestingly, the characteristic motif at the N-terminus appears to be specific for Al-responsive ALMTs. Our study highlights the need to include a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis when drawing inferences from structure-function analyses, as a significant proportion of the functional changes observed for Ta ALMT1 are most likely the result of alterations in the overall structural integrity of ALMT family proteins rather than modifications of specific sites involved in Al3+ sensing.

AB  - Next-generation whole-genome shotgun assemblies of complex genomes are highly useful, but fail to link nearby sequence contigs with each other or provide a linear order of contigs along individual chromosomes. Here, we introduce a strategy based on sequencing progeny of a segregating population that allows de novo production of a genetically anchored linear assembly of the gene space of an organism. We demonstrate the power of the approach by reconstructing the chromosomal organization of the gene space of barley, a large, complex and highly repetitive 5.1 Gb genome. We evaluate the robustness of the new assembly by comparison to a recently released physical and genetic framework of the barley genome, and to various genetically ordered sequence-based genotypic datasets. The method is independent of the need for any prior sequence resources, and will enable rapid and cost-efficient establishment of powerful genomic information for many species.

AB  - Uncertainty surrounds belowground plant responses to rising atmospheric CO2 because roots are difficult to measure, requiring frequent monitoring as a result of fine root dynamics and long-term monitoring as a result of sensitivity to resource availability., We report belowground plant responses of a scrub-oak ecosystem in Florida exposed to 11 yr of elevated atmospheric CO2 using open-top chambers. We measured fine root production, turnover and biomass using minirhizotrons, coarse root biomass using ground-penetrating radar and total root biomass using soil cores., Total root biomass was greater in elevated than in ambient plots, and the absolute difference was larger than the difference aboveground. Fine root biomass fluctuated by more than a factor of two, with no unidirectional temporal trend, whereas leaf biomass accumulated monotonically. Strong increases in fine root biomass with elevated CO2 occurred after fire and hurricane disturbance. Leaf biomass also exhibited stronger responses following hurricanes., Responses after fire and hurricanes suggest that disturbance promotes the growth responses of plants to elevated CO2. Increased resource availability associated with disturbance (nutrients, water, space) may facilitate greater responses of roots to elevated CO2. The disappearance of responses in fine roots suggests limits on the capacity of root systems to respond to CO2 enrichment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Use of a promiscuous, constitutively-active bacterial enhancer-binding protein to define the σ54 (RpoN) regulon of Salmonella Typhimurium LT2.

AB  - Background: Sigma54, or RpoN, is an alternative σ factor found widely in eubacteria. A significant complication in analysis of the global σ54 regulon in a bacterium is that the σ54 RNA polymerase holoenzyme requires interaction with an active bacterial enhancer-binding protein (bEBP) to initiate transcription at a σ54-dependent promoter. Many bacteria possess multiple bEBPs, which are activated by diverse environmental stimuli. In this work, we assess the ability of a promiscuous, constitutively-active bEBP-the AAA+ ATPase domain of DctD from Sinorhizobium meliloti-to activate transcription from all σ54-dependent promoters for the characterization of the σ54 regulon of Salmonella Typhimurium LT2. Results: The AAA+ ATPase domain of DctD was able to drive transcription from nearly all previously characterized or predicted σ54-dependent promoters in Salmonella under a single condition. These promoters are controlled by a variety of native activators and, under the condition tested, are not transcribed in the absence of the DctD AAA+ ATPase domain. We also identified a novel σ54-dependent promoter upstream of STM2939, a homolog of the cas1 component of a CRISPR system. ChIP-chip analysis revealed at least 70 σ54 binding sites in the chromosome, of which 58% are located within coding sequences. Promoter-lacZ fusions with selected intragenic σ54 binding sites suggest that many of these sites are capable of functioning as σ54-dependent promoters. Conclusion: Since the DctD AAA+ ATPase domain proved effective in activating transcription from the diverse σ54- dependent promoters of the S. Typhimurium LT2 σ54 regulon under a single growth condition, this approach is likely to be valuable for examining σ54 regulons in other bacterial species. The S. Typhimurium σ54 regulon included a high number of intragenic σ54 binding sites/promoters, suggesting that σ54 may have multiple regulatory roles beyond the initiation of transcription at the start of an operon.

AB  - The effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on rumen bacterial community composition was examined in beef steers fed either a nitrate-N diet or urea-N diet. An automated method of ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis was applied to solid and liquid fractions of ruminal contents to allow comparison of bacterial communities. Supplemental N source affected relative population size of four amplicon lengths (ALs) in the liquid fraction and three ALs in the solid fraction. Five ALs were more prevalent after adaptation to nitrate. Correspondence analysis indicated that feeding the steers the nitrate-N diet versus urea-N diet changed the bacterial community composition in the liquid but not in the solid fraction. This led to an investigation of the relative sizes of potential nitrate-reducing populations. Mannheimia succiniciproducens, Veillonella parvula, and Campylobacter fetus were obtained from nitrate enrichment culture and quantified by real-time PCR based on 16S rRNA sequence. Nitrate supplementation increased the percentage of C. fetus in the liquid and solid phases, and in solid phase, the percentage of M. succiniciproducens increased. No change in species prevalence was observed for V. parvula. However, even after adaptation to dietary nitrate, the relative population sizes for all three putative nitrate-reducing species were very low (<0.06 % of 16S rRNA gene copy number). The liquid-associated bacterial community composition changed due to nitrate supplementation, and at least part of this change reflects an increase in the species prevalence of C. fetus, a species which is not typically regarded as a ruminal inhabitant.

AB  - We investigated the effect of mating on female attractiveness and male responsiveness in the potato psyllid, Bactericera (= Paratrioza) cockerelli ( Šulc) ( Hemiptera: Triozidae), a major pest of potato. Assays were designed to examine response by mated or virgin males to volatile odors produced by virgin or mated females. Mating induced a behavioral refractory period during which males were not attracted to females. The refractory period was shown to include a mating-induced lowering of male response to females, as well as a mating-induced lowering of female attractiveness. The refractory period was longer in females (at least 48 h) than in males (less than 24 h). Following a post-copulatory refractory period of 96 h, females were as attractive to males as virgin females. We also explored how rapidly spermatophores became depleted in females as a function of the amount of time following mating. The percent of females carrying spermatophores and the number of spermatophores per female decreased with the length of the female post-mating period, possibly due to the absorption by females of the spermatophores and their content. By 96 h following mating, spermatophores were not visible in the majority of females, thus the absence of spermatophores in females of this species should not be used as evidence of mating status.

AB  - Little cherry virus 1 (LChV-1), associated with little cherry disease (LCD), has a significant impact on fruit quality of infected sweet cherry trees. We report the full genome sequence of an isolate of LChV-1 from Taian, China (LChV-1-TA), detected by small-RNA deep sequencing and amplified by overlapping RT-PCR. The LChV-1-TA genome was 16,932 nt in length and contained nine open reading frames (ORFs), with sequence identity at the overall genome level of 76 %, 76 %, and 78 % to LChV-1 isolates Y10237 (UW2 isolate), EU715989 (ITMAR isolate) and JX669615 (V2356 isolate), respectively. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of HSP70h amino acid sequences of Closteroviridae family members, LChV-1-TA was grouped into a well-supported cluster with the members of the genus Velarivirus and was also closely related to other LChV-1 isolates. This is the first report of the complete nucleotide sequence of LChV-1 infecting sweet cherry in China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An antibiotic resistance (AR) Dashboard application is being developed regarding the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) and bacteria (ARB) in environmental and clinical settings. The application gathers and geospatially maps AR studies, reported occurrence and antibiograms, which can be downloaded for offline analysis. With the integration of multiple data sets, the database can be used on a regional or global scale to identify hot spots for ARGs and ARB; track and link spread and transmission, quantify environmental or human factors influencing presence and persistence of ARG harboring organisms; differentiate natural ARGs from those distributed via human or animal activity; cluster and compare ARGs connections in different environments and hosts; and identify genes that can be used as proxies to routinely monitor anthropogenic pollution. To initially populate and develop the AR Dashboard, a qPCR ARG array was tested with 30 surface waters, primary influent from three waste water treatment facilities, ten clinical isolates from a regional hospital and data from previously published studies including river, park soil and swine farm samples. Interested users are invited to download a beta version (available on iOS or Android), submit AR information using the application, and provide feedback on current and prospective functionalities.

AB  - Antibiotic resistance among bacteria is a growing problem worldwide, and wastewater treatment plants have been considered as one of the major contributors to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance to the environment. There is a lack of comprehensive quantitative molecular data on extensive numbers of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different seasons with a sampling strategy that would cover both incoming and outgoing water together with the excess sludge that is removed from the process. In order to fill that gap we present a highly parallel quantitative analysis of ARGs and horizontal gene transfer potential over four seasons at an urban wastewater treatment plant using a high-throughput qPCR array. All analysed transposases and two-thirds of primer sets targeting ARGs were detected in the wastewater. The relative abundance of most of the genes was highest in influent and lower in effluent water and sludge. The resistance profiles of the samples cluster by sample location with a shift from raw influent through the final effluents and dried sludge to the sediments. Wastewater discharge enriched only a few genes, namely Tn25 type transposase gene and clinical class 1 integrons, in the sediment near the discharge pipe, but those enriched genes may indicate a potential for horizontal gene transfer.

AB  - Pu is commonly recognized as the most suitable spike for low-level mass-spectrometric plutonium analysis. However the currently available tracers based on Pu are very few and lack isotopic purity. Two-stage electromagnetic separation of plutonium isotopes was performed from a 0.5 g portion of PuO material containing plutonium with ~17.5 % Pu. The first round of separation yielded approximately 10 mg Pu with ~98.9 % Pu. The second round was verified to have produced 0.88 mg Pu with over 99.98 % Pu. The final separation product will be certified as a spike for isotope dilution mass spectrometry, to meet the needs of international safeguards for decades to come. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The maternally inherited mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is present in multimeric form within cells and harbors sequence variants (heteroplasmy). While a single mtDNA variant at high load can cause disease, naturally occurring variants likely persist at low levels across generations of healthy populations. To determine how naturally occurring variants are segregated and transmitted, we generated a mini-pig model, which originates from the same maternal ancestor. Following next-generation sequencing, we identified a series of low-level mtDNA variants in blood samples from the female founder and her daughters. Four variants, ranging from 3% to 20%, were selected for validation by high-resolution melting analysis in 12 tissues from 31 animals across three generations. All four variants were maintained in the offspring, but variant load fluctuated significantly across the generations in several tissues, with sex-specific differences in heart and liver. Moreover, variant load was persistently reduced in high-respiratory organs (heart, brain, diaphragm, and muscle), which correlated significantly with higher mtDNA copy number. However, oocytes showed increased heterogeneity in variant load, which correlated with increased mtDNA copy number during in vitro maturation. Altogether, these outcomes show that naturally occurring mtDNA variants segregate and are maintained in a tissue-specific manner across generations. This segregation likely involves the maintenance of selective mtDNA variants during organogenesis, which can be differentially regulated in oocytes and preimplantation embryos during maturation.

AB  - Cereal crops in the reproductive stage of growth are considerably more susceptible to injury from freezing temperatures than during their vegetative growth stage in the fall. While damage resulting from spring-freeze events has been documented, information on genotypic differences in tolerance to spring-freezes is scarce. Ninety wheat genotypes were subjected to a simulated spring-freeze at the mid-boot growth stage under controlled conditions. Spring-freeze tolerance was evaluated as the number of seeds per head at maturity after plants were frozen at −6 °C. Plants that froze, as confirmed by infrared (IR) thermography, died shortly after thawing and consequently the heads did not mature. Only in plants that had no visible freezing (super-cooled) were heads able to reach maturity and produce seeds. In plants that super-cooled four genotypes had significantly higher seed counts after being exposed to freezing than three with the lowest. In addition, significant differences between genotypes were found in whole plant survival among those that had frozen. Genotypes with high whole-plant freezing survival were not necessarily the same as the super-cooled plants with the highest seed counts. Spring-freeze tolerance was not correlated with maturity suggesting that improvement in freezing tolerance could be selected for without affecting heading date. Spring-freeze tolerance was not correlated with freezing tolerance of genotypes of plants in a vegetative state, either under non-acclimated or cold-acclimated conditions indicating that vegetative freezing tolerance is not a good predictor of spring-freeze tolerance.

AB  - Biorefineries aim to convert biomass into a spectrum of products ranging from biofuels to specialty chemicals. To achieve economically sustainable conversion, it is crucial to streamline the catalytic and downstream processing steps. In this work, a route that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6 is reported. An engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as the initial biocatalyst for the conversion of glucose into muconic acid, with the highest reported muconic acid titer of 559.5 mg L−1 in yeast. Without any separation, muconic acid was further electrocatalytically hydrogenated to 3-hexenedioic acid in 94 % yield despite the presence of biogenic impurities. Bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6 (unsaturated polyamide-6,6) was finally obtained by polymerization of 3-hexenedioic acid with hexamethylenediamine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Consolidated bioprocessing of Populus using Clostridium (Ruminiclostridium) thermocellum: a case study on the impact of lignin composition and structure.

AB  - Background: Higher ratios of syringyl-to-guaiacyl (S/G) lignin components of Populus were shown to improve sugar release by enzymatic hydrolysis using commercial blends. Cellulolytic microbes are often robust biomass hydrolyzers and may offer cost advantages; however, it is unknown whether their activity can also be significantly influenced by the ratio of different monolignol types in Populus biomass. Hydrolysis and fermentation of autoclaved, but otherwise not pretreated Populus trichocarpa by Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405 was compared using feedstocks that had similar carbohydrate and total lignin contents but differed in S/G ratios. Results: Populus with an S/G ratio of 2.1 was converted more rapidly and to a greater extent compared to similar biomass that had a ratio of 1.2. For either microbes or commercial enzymes, an approximate 50 % relative difference in total solids solubilization was measured for both biomasses, which suggests that the differences and limitations in the microbial breakdown of lignocellulose may be largely from the enzymatic hydrolytic process. Surprisingly, the reduction in glucan content per gram solid in the residual microbially processed biomass was similar (17-18 %) irrespective of S/G ratio, pointing to a similar mechanism of solubilization that proceeded at different rates. Fermentation metabolome testing did not reveal the release of known biomass-derived alcohol and aldehyde inhibitors that could explain observed differences in microbial hydrolytic activity. Biomass-derived p-hydroxybenzoic acid was up to ninefold higher in low S/G ratio biomass fermentations, but was not found to be inhibitory in subsequent test fermentations. Cellulose crystallinity and degree of polymerization did not vary between Populus lines and had minor changes after fermentation. However, lignin molecular weights and cellulose accessibility determined by Simons' staining were positively correlated to the S/G content. Conclusions: Higher S/G ratios in Populus biomass lead to longer and more linear lignin chains and greater access to surface cellulosic content by microbe-bound enzymatic complexes. Substrate access limitation is suggested as a primary bottleneck in solubilization of minimally processed Populus, which has important implications for microbial deconstruction of lignocellulose biomass. Our findings will allow others to examine different Populus lines and to test if similar observations are possible for other plant species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thermoplastic starch/latex polymer composites were prepared using styrene–butadiene latex and heat-treated cornstarch. The composites were prepared in a compression mold at 130°C, with 20% starch content. An amylose-free cornstarch, waxy maize, was used for this research, and the heat treatment range was from ambient temperature to 170°C. The heat-treated starch (HTS) was characterized by optical microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and size exclusion chromatography. The composites were characterized by mechanical analysis (stress–strain) and by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical tests of composites revealed a dramatic increase in the modulus and tensile strength when the gelatinized starch was incorporated. When the starch was not gelatinized, starch did not contribute to the increase in the modulus and tensile strength because of its small surface area, thus weak interaction with the matrix. The reinforcing effect of starch as filler was reduced as the heating temperature of starch was increased to higher than 120°C. The variation of reinforcement effect of HTS as filler was explained by the interaction between starch and matrix material, latex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although research shows that "food parenting practices" can impact children's diet and eating habits, current understanding of the impact of specific practices has been limited by inconsistencies in terminology and definitions. This article represents a critical appraisal of food parenting practices, including clear terminology and definitions, by a working group of content experts. The result of this effort was the development of a content map for future research that presents 3 overarching, higher-order food parenting constructs -- coercive control, structure, and autonomy support -- as well as specific practice subconstructs. Coercive control includes restriction, pressure to eat, threats and bribes, and using food to control negative emotions. Structure includes rules and limits, limited/guided choices, monitoring, meal- and snacktime routines, modeling, food availability and accessibility, food preparation, and unstructured practices. Autonomy support includes nutrition education, child involvement, encouragement, praise, reasoning, and negotiation. Literature on each construct is reviewed, and directions for future research are offered. Clear terminology and definitions should facilitate cross-study comparisons and minimize conflicting findings resulting from previous discrepancies in construct operationalization.

AB  - Direct visualization of plant tissues by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has revealed key insights into the localization of metabolites in situ . Recent efforts have determined the spatial distribution of primary and secondary metabolites in plant tissues and cells. Strategies have been applied in many areas of metabolism including isotope flux analyses, plant interactions, and transcriptional regulation of metabolite accumulation. Technological advances have pushed achievable spatial resolution to subcellular levels and increased instrument sensitivity by several orders of magnitude. It is anticipated that MALDI-MSI and other MSI approaches will bring a new level of understanding to metabolomics as scientists will be encouraged to consider spatial heterogeneity of metabolites in descriptions of metabolic pathway regulation.

AB  - The role of exhibition swine in influenza A virus transmission was recently demonstrated by >300 infections with influenza A(H3N2) variant viruses among individuals who attended agricultural fairs. Through active influenza A virus surveillance in US exhibition swine and whole-genome sequencing of 380 isolates, we demonstrate that exhibition swine are actively involved in the evolution of influenza A viruses, including zoonotic strains. First, frequent introduction of influenza A viruses from commercial swine populations provides new genetic diversity in exhibition pigs each year locally. Second, genomic reassortment between viruses cocirculating in exhibition swine increases viral diversity. Third, viral migration between exhibition swine in neighboring states demonstrates that movements of exhibition pigs contributes to the spread of genetic diversity. The unexpected frequency of viral exchange between commercial and exhibition swine raises questions about the understudied interface between these populations. Overall, the complexity of viral evolution in exhibition swine indicates that novel viruses are likely to continually reemerge, presenting threats to humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: There are few studies dealing with the relationship between oxidative stress and ochratoxin A (OTA) biosynthesis. In this work, we analyzed the effect of the oxidant stressor menadione and the antioxidants 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT), catechin, resveratrol and a polyphenolic extract on growth, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), OTA production and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes of Aspergillus carbonarius. RESULTS: Exposure to menadione concentrations higher than 20 μmol L-1 led to increases in ROS and OTA levels and a decrease in growth rate. Exposure to 2.5-10 mmol L-1 BHT also led to higher ROS and OTA levels, although growth rate was only affected above 5 mmol L-1. Naturally occurring concentrations of catechin, resveratrol and polyphenolic extract barely affected growth rate, but they produced widely different effects on OTA production level depending on the antioxidant concentration used. In general, gene expression of antioxidant enzymessuperoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxiredoxin (PRX) was down regulated after exposure to oxidant and antioxidant concentrations that enhanced OTA production level. CONCLUSION: Aspergillus carbonarius responds tooxidative stress, increasing OTA production. Nevertheless, the use of naturally occurring concentrations of antioxidant phenolic compounds to reduce oxidative stress is not a valid approach by itself for OTA contamination control in grapes.

AB  - Temperature dependent measurements of 57Fe Mossbauer spectra on CaFe2As2 single crystals in the tetragonal and collapsed tetragonal phases are reported. Clear features in the temperature dependencies of the isomer shift, relative spectra area, and quadrupole splitting are observed at the transition from the tetragonal to the collapsed tetragonal phase. From the temperature dependent isomer shift and spectral area data, an average stiffening of the phonon modes in the collapsed tetragonal phase is inferred. The quadrupole splitting increases by ~25% on cooling from room temperature to ~100 K in the tetragonal phase and is only weakly temperature dependent at low temperatures in the collapsed tetragonal phase, in agreement with the anisotropic thermal expansion in this material. In order to gain microscopic insight about these measurements, we perform ab initio density functional theory calculations of the electric field gradient and the electron density of CaFe2As2 in both phases. By comparing the experimental data with the calculations we are able to fully characterize the crystal structure of the samples in the collapsed-tetragonal phase through determination of the As z coordinate. Based on the obtained temperature dependent structural data we are able to propose charge saturation of the Fe-As bond region as the mechanism behind the stabilization of the collapsed-tetragonal phase at ambient pressure.

AB  - As titanium is a highly utilized metal for structural lightweighting, its phases, transformation pathways (transition states), and structures have scientific and industrial importance. Using a proper solid-state nudged elastic band method employing two climbing images combined with density functional theory DFT + U methods for accurate energetics, we detail the pressure-induced α (ductile) to ω (brittle) transformation at the coexistence pressure. We find two transition states along the minimal-enthalpy path and discover a metastable body-centered orthorhombic structure, with stable phonons, a lower density than the end-point phases, and decreasing stability with increasing pressure.

AB  - Rare earths, sometimes called the vitamins of modern materials, captured public attention when their prices increased more than tenfold in 2010 and 2011. As prices fell between 2011 and 2016, rare earths receded from public view, but less visibly, they became a major focus of innovative activity in companies, government laboratories, and universities. Geoscientists worked to better understand the resource base and improve our knowledge about mineral deposits that can be mines in the future. Process engineers carried out research that is making primary production and recycling more efficient. Materials scientists and engineers searched for substitutes that require fewer or no rare earths while providing properties comparable or superior to those of existing materials. As a result, even though global supply chains are not significantly different now than they were before the market disruption, the innovative activity motivated by the disruption will likely have far-reaching, if unpredictable, consequences for supply chains of rare earths in the future.

AB  - Indigenous knowledge and values are increasingly found in watershed management to engage important stakeholders in the development of modern resource management practices and policies. This paper explores the integration of Māori values in water and land policies governing Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand as a case study for this approach. Multijurisdictional documents were analysed for the inclusion of nine well-established Māori values that have applications to land, water and natural resource management. The results of this study identified the most and least commonly mentioned values in policy documents, and a scalar trend in which integration of Māori values increased as the geographic scale and jurisdiction of the respective governing policies decreased.

AB  - Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are small herbivorous insects found on all continents except Antarctica. They are extremely invasive, and many species are serious agricultural pests. They are also emerging models for studies of the evolution of genetic systems, endosymbiosis and plant-insect interactions. ScaleNet was launched in 1995 to provide insect identifiers, pest managers, insect systematists, evolutionary biologists and ecologists efficient access to information about scale insect biological diversity. It provides comprehensive information on scale insects taken directly from the primary literature. Currently, it draws from 23 477 articles and describes the systematics and biology of 8194 valid species. For 20 years, ScaleNet ran on the same software platform. That platform is no longer viable. Here, we present a new, open-source implementation of ScaleNet. We have normalized the data model, begun the process of correcting invalid data, upgraded the user interface, and added online administrative tools. These improvements make ScaleNet easier to use and maintain and make the ScaleNet data more accurate and extendable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) was identified in the United States in the spring of 2013, and professionals from many parts of the U.S. swine industry responded rapidly to understand and control the newly emerging disease. In less than two months, the disease had spread to more than 200 herds in thirteen states. Experts from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) engaged in laboratory diagnostics, analytic support, epidemiology expertise, and data management to facilitate the effort. By 2014, a great deal had been learned about the disease; however, the question of how it entered the United States remained unanswered. In 2014, USDA formed an investigative group to address the question and leverage current knowledge with resources and partnerships not readily available to non-federal investigators. The group formed collaborations with other government and non-government organizations and individuals, and followed many avenues of inquiry; ultimately arriving at a small number of scenarios that describe possible mechanisms for PED introduction. For a scenario to be plausible, it had to explain: contamination of a person or product in the source country, its transit and entry to the United States, rapid dispersal across a wide geographic area, and exposure/infection of pigs. It had to be compatible with findings of swine herd investigations and research studies. Potential products had to have been imported legally during the time prior to the beginning of the epidemic, or delivered to the United States through prohibited channels. Follow-up studies were initiated to gather more evidence for the most plausible scenarios. Of the scenarios, flexible intermediate bulk containers (“feed totes”) used to transport bulk feed serving as fomites for movement of PED virus provided the simplest explanation for the accumulated findings of the investigation.

AB  - A somatic transformation vector, pDP9, was constructed that provides a simplified means of producing permanently transformed cultured insect cells that support high levels of protein expression of foreign genes. The pDP9 plasmid vector incorporates DNA sequences from the Junonia coenia densovirus that are involved in integration of the densovirus in insect cell chromosomes and a promoter/enhancer system that results in high levels of expression. The plasmid also contains two markers that permit selection of transformed insect cells by antibiotic resistance or by cell-sorting for fluorescent protein expression. Transformation of Bombyx mori Bm5 or Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cultured cells with the pDP9 vectors results in the integration of the pDP9 plasmid into genomic DNA of Bm5 and Sf9 cells. pDP9 contains a multiple cloning site (MCS) 3′ of the densoviral P9 promoter and insertion of a protein coding sequence within the MCS results in high level expression by pDP9 transformed cells. P9 driven transcription in the pDP9 transformed Sf9 cells produced foreign gene transcript levels that were 30 fold higher than actin 3 driven transgenes and equivalent to hr5IE1 driven transgenes. The pDP9 vector transformation results in the efficient selection of clones for assessment of promoter activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter that is highly responsive to surface energy fluxes and has become valuable to many disciplines. However, it is difficult to acquire satellite LSTs with both high spatial and temporal resolutions due to tradeoffs between them. Thus, various algorithms/models have been developed to enhance the spatial or the temporal resolution of thermal infrared (TIR) data or LST, but rarely both. The Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM) is the widely-used data fusion algorithm for Landsat and MODIS imagery to produce Landsat-like surface reflectance. In order to extend the STARFM application over heterogeneous areas, an enhanced STARFM (ESTARFM) approach was proposed by introducing a conversion coefficient and the spectral unmixing theory. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the ESTARFM algorithm for generating ASTER-like daily LST by three approaches: simulated data, ground measurements and remote sensing products, respectively. The datasets of LST ground measurements, MODIS, and ASTER images were collected in an arid region of Northwest China during the first thematic HiWATER-Multi-Scale Observation Experiment on Evapotranspiration (MUSOEXE) over heterogeneous land surfaces in 2012 from May to September. Firstly, the results of the simulation test indicated that ESTARFM could accurately predict background with temperature variations, even coordinating with small ground objects and linear ground objects. Secondly, four temporal ASTER and MODIS data fusion LSTs (i.e., predicted ASTER-like LST products) were highly consistent with ASTER LST products. Here, the four correlation coefficients were greater than 0.92, root mean square error (RMSE) reached about 2 K and mean absolute error (MAE) ranged from 1.32 K to 1.73 K. Finally, the results of the ground measurement validation indicated that the overall accuracy was high (R² = 0.92, RMSE = 0.77 K), and the ESTARFM algorithm is a highly recommended method to assemble time series images at ASTER spatial resolution and MODIS temporal resolution due to LST estimation error less than 1 K. However, the ESTARFM method is also limited in predicting LST changes that have not been recorded in MODIS and/or ASTER pixels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key message: Twenty-two loci for soybean SW and candidate genes conditioning seed development were identified; and prediction accuracies of GS and MAS were estimated through cross-validation and validation with unrelated populations. Abstract: Soybean ( Glycine max) is a major crop for plant protein and oil production, and seed weight (SW) is important for yield and quality in food/vegetable uses of soybean. However, our knowledge of genes controlling SW remains limited. To better understand the molecular mechanism underlying the trait and explore marker-based breeding approaches, we conducted a genome-wide association study in a population of 309 soybean germplasm accessions using 31,045 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and estimated the prediction accuracy of genomic selection (GS) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) for SW. Twenty-two loci of minor effect associated with SW were identified, including hotspots on Gm04 and Gm19. The mixed model containing these loci explained 83.4 % of phenotypic variation. Candidate genes with Arabidopsis orthologs conditioning SW were also proposed. The prediction accuracies of GS and MAS by cross-validation were 0.75-0.87 and 0.62-0.75, respectively, depending on the number of SNPs used and the size of training population. GS also outperformed MAS when the validation was performed using unrelated panels across a wide range of maturities, with an average prediction accuracy of 0.74 versus 0.53. This study convincingly demonstrated that soybean SW is controlled by numerous minor-effect loci. It greatly enhances our understanding of the genetic basis of SW in soybean and facilitates the identification of genes controlling the trait. It also suggests that GS holds promise for accelerating soybean breeding progress. The results are helpful for genetic improvement and genomic prediction of yield in soybean. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Xylona heveae has only been isolated as an endophyte of rubber trees. In an effort to understand the genetic basis of endophytism, we compared the genome contents of X. heveae and 36 other Ascomycota with diverse lifestyles and nutritional modes. We focused on genes that are known to be important in the host–fungus interaction interface and that presumably have a role in determining the lifestyle of a fungus. We used phylogenomic data to infer the higher-level phylogenetic position of the Xylonomycetes, and mined ITS sequences to explore its taxonomic and ecological diversity. The X. heveae genome contains a low number of enzymes needed for plant cell wall degradation, suggesting that Xylona is a highly adapted specialist and likely dependent on its host for survival. The reduced repertoire of carbohydrate active enzymes could reflect an adaptation to intercellulary growth and to the avoidance of the host's immune system, suggesting that Xylona has a strictly endophytic lifestyle. Phylogenomic data resolved the position of Xylonomycetes as sister to Lecanoromycetes and Eurotiomycetes and placed the beetle-endosymbiont Symbiotaphrina as a member of this class. ITS data revealed that Trinosporium is also part of the Xylonomycetes, extending the taxonomic and ecological diversity of this group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Contamination of food with pathogenic bacteria can lead to foodborne illnesses. Food processing surfaces can serve as a medium for cross-contamination if sanitization procedures are inadequate. Ensuring that food processing surfaces are correctly cleaned and sanitized is important in the food industry to reduce risks of foodborne illnesses and their related costs. A handheld fluorescence imaging device was assessed for detection of three types of food residues that have been associated with foodborne illness outbreaks, i.e. spinach leaf, milk, and bovine red meat, on two commonly used processing surfaces, i.e. high-density polyethylene and food grade stainless steel. Fluorescence excitation at 405 nm was supplied by 4 × 10 W light emitting diodes. Interchangeable optical filters were selected to optimise the contrast between the food residues and processing surfaces, using hyperspectral fluorescence imaging. The fluorescence imaging plus image analysis differentiated food residues from the processing surfaces more clearly than visual inspection in ambient lighting. This optical sensing device can be used to detect food fouling on food processing surfaces over relatively large areas, and has potential for use in the food industry as an aid for detection of specific food residues.

AB  - To evaluate the utility of several participant engagement indicators for predicting health changes in a church-based lifestyle intervention shown effective for improving dietary, physical activity, and clinical outcomes. Methods: Descriptive indicators were constructed using 2 participant engagement measures - education session attendance (EDA) and exercise class attendance (EXA) - separately and combined. Relationships of 6 engagement indicators to health outcomes were tested using generalized linear mixed models. Results: EDA predicted 5 dietary and 1 clinical outcome, whereas EXA predicted one physical activity and one clinical outcome. The combined indicator predicted the same 7 outcomes. Conclusion: Use of single engagement indicators specific to each intervention component is advocated for predicting relevant health outcome.

AB  - Plant disease resistance gene analog (RGA) markers were designed according to the conserved sequence of known RGAs and used to map resistance genes. We used genome-wide RGA markers for genetic analyses of structure and diversity in a global rice germplasm collection. Of the 472 RGA markers, 138 were polymorphic and these were applied to 178 entries selected from the USDA rice core collection. Results from the RGA markers were similar between two methods, UPGMA and STRUCTURE. Additionally, the results from RGA markers in our study were agreeable with those previously reported from SSR markers, including cluster of ancestral classification, genetic diversity estimates, genetic relatedness, and cluster of geographic origins. These results suggest that RGA markers are applicable for analyses of genetic structure and diversity in rice. However, unlike SSR markers, the RGA markers failed to differentiate temperate japonica, tropical japonica, and aromatic subgroups. The restricted way for developing RGA markers from the cDNA sequence might limit the polymorphism of RGA markers in the genome, thus limiting the discriminatory power in comparison with SSR markers. Genetic differentiation obtained using RGA markers may be useful for defining genetic diversity of a suite of random R genes in plants, as many studies show a differentiation of resistance to a wide array of pathogens. They could also help to characterize the genetic structure and geographic distribution in crops, including rice, wheat, barley, and banana. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les marqueurs fondés sur les analogues de gènes de résistance (RGA) ont été conçus sur la base des séquences conservées au sein des analogues de gènes de résistance connus et ils ont été largement employés pour cartographier des gènes de résistance. Les auteurs ont utilisé des marqueurs RGA distribués sur l'ensemble du génome pour réaliser des analyses de la structure et de la diversité génétiques au sein d'une collection mondiale de germoplasme chez le riz. Des 472 marqueurs RGA, 138 étaient polymorphes et ont été employés pour examiner 178 accessions choisies au sein de la collection de référence du USDA. Les résultats des analyses UPGMA et STRUCTURE ont été semblables. De plus, les résultats obtenus avec ces marqueurs RGA concordaient avec ceux obtenus précédemment avec des marqueurs SSR, que ce soit l'analyse de groupement sur la base de la classification ancestrale, les estimés de diversité génétique, de parenté génétique ou le groupement sur la base de l'origine géographique. Ces résultats suggèrent qu'on peut employer les marqueurs RGA pour des analyses de structure et de diversité génétiques chez le riz. Cependant, contrairement aux marqueurs SSR, les marqueurs RGA ont été incapables de distinguer les sous-groupes japonica tempéré, japonica tropical et aromatique. Le fait que les marqueurs RGA aient été développés uniquement à partir de la séquence d'ADNc pourrait limiter leur polymorphisme dans le génome et ainsi réduire leur capacité de discrimination par rapport aux marqueurs SSR. La différenciation génétique obtenue à l'aide de marqueurs RGA pourrait s'avérer utile pour définir la diversité génétique au sein d'une collection aléatoire de gènes R chez les plantes car plusieurs études ont montré une différenciation des résistances à un vaste nombre de pathogènes. Ils pourraient également contribuer à caractériser la structure génétique et la distribution géographique chez les plantes cultivées incluant le riz, le blé, l'orge et le bananier.

AB  - Among terrestrial environments, forests are not only the largest long-term sink of atmospheric carbon (C), but are also susceptible to global change themselves, with potential consequences including alterations of C cycles and potential C emission. To inform global change risk assessment of forest C across large spatial/temporal scales, this study constructed and evaluated a basic risk framework which combined the magnitude of C stocks and their associated probability of stock change in the context of global change across the US. For the purposes of this analysis, forest C was divided into five pools, two live (aboveground and belowground biomass) and three dead (dead wood, soil organic matter, and forest floor) with a risk framework parameterized using the US's national greenhouse gas inventory and associated forest inventory data across current and projected future Köppen-Geiger climate zones (A1F1 scenario). Results suggest that an initial forest C risk matrix may be constructed to focus attention on short- and long-term risks to forest C stocks (as opposed to implementation in decision making) using inventory-based estimates of total stocks and associated estimates of variability (i.e., coefficient of variation) among climate zones. The empirical parameterization of such a risk matrix highlighted numerous knowledge gaps: 1) robust measures of the likelihood of forest C stock change under climate change scenarios, 2) projections of forest C stocks given unforeseen socioeconomic conditions (i.e., land-use change), and 3) appropriate social responses to global change events for which there is no contemporary climate/disturbance analog (e.g., severe droughts in the Lake States). Coupling these current technical/social limits of developing a risk matrix to the biological processes of forest ecosystems (i.e., disturbance events and interaction among diverse forest C pools, potential positive feedbacks, and forest resiliency/recovery) suggests an operational forest C risk matrix remains elusive.

AB  - Background: Grapes are one of the most economically important fruit crops. There are about 60 species in the genus Vitis. The phylogenetic relationships among these species are of keen interest for the conservation and use of this germplasm. We selected 309 accessions from 48 Vitis species,varieties, and outgroups, examined ~11 kb (~3.4 Mb total) of aligned nuclear DNA sequences from 27 unlinked genes in a phylogenetic context, and estimated divergence times based on fossil calibrations. Results: Vitis formed a strongly supported clade. There was substantial support for species and less for the higher-level groupings (series). As estimated from extant taxa, the crown age of Vitis was 28 Ma and the divergence of subgenera (Vitis and Muscadinia) occurred at ~18 Ma. Higher clades in subgenus Vitis diverged 16 - 5 Ma with overlapping confidence intervals, and ongoing divergence formed extant species at 12 - 1.3 Ma. Several species had species-specific SNPs. NeighborNet analysis showed extensive reticulation at the core of subgenus Vitis representing the deeper nodes, with extensive reticulation radiating outward. Fitch Parsimony identified North America as the origin of the most recent common ancestor of extant Vitis species. Conclusions: Phylogenetic patterns suggested origination of the genus in North America, fragmentation of an ancestral range during the Miocene, formation of extant species in the late Miocene-Pleistocene, and differentiation of species in the context of Pliocene-Quaternary tectonic and climatic change. Nuclear SNPs effectively resolved relationships at and below the species level in grapes and rectified several misclassifications of accessions in the repositories. Our results challenge current higher-level classifications, reveal the abundance of genetic diversity in the genus that is potentially available for crop improvement, and provide a valuable resource for species delineation, germplasm conservation and use.

Genomic and antigenic analyses of 1 isolate indicated relatedness to poultry and wild bird subtype H7N3 viruses from North America. This isolate had a multibasic cleavage site that might have been derived from recombination with host rRNA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - It is easier to search the globe for research on the genes of a local plant than it is to find local research on that plant's ecology. As a result, ecologists are often unaware of published local research and unlikely to find relevant studies from similar environments worldwide. Location information in ecological studies can be harnessed to enable geographic knowledge searches and could be standardized to make searches more fruitful. To demonstrate this potential, we developed the JournalMap Web site (www.journalmap.org). Easy access to geographic distributions of knowledge opens new possibilities for using ecological research to detect and interpret ecological patterns, evaluate current ecological knowledge, and facilitate knowledge creation. We call on journals and publishers to support standard reporting of study locations in publications and metadata, and we advocate georeferencing past studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The potential hazards posed by RNA interference (RNAi)-based pesticides and genetically modified crops to nontarget organisms include off-target gene silencing, silencing the target gene in unintended organisms, immune stimulation, and saturation of the RNAi machinery. Nontarget organisms will vary in their exposure to small RNAs produced by genetically modified crops, hut exposure to insecticidal small RNAs will probably occur at a previously unrealized scale for many. Areas that warrant future work include the persistence of insecticidal small RNAs in the environment, describing crop-based food webs to understand those species that are most exposed, sequencing genomes for species to proactively understand those that may be affected by RNAi, and substantiating that laboratory toxicity testing can accurately predict the field-level effects of this technology. The costs and benefits of pesticidal RNA must he considered relative to current pest management options as pesticidal RNAs move from a theoretical approach to being used as a practical tool.

AB  - Reactive oxygen species ( ROS) play dual roles in plant-microbe interactions in that they can either stimulate host resistance or enhance pathogen virulence. Innate resistance in peach ( Prunus persica) to the brown rot fungal pathogen Monilinia fructicola is very limited, and knowledge of the mechanism of virulence is rudimentary. In this study, production of hydrogen peroxide, a major component of ROS, was determined in peach flower petals in response to M. fructicola (a host pathogen) and Penicillium digitatum (a non-host pathogen). Monilinia fructicola was able to infect flower petals while P. digitatum was not. During the host-specific interaction, M. fructicola induced hydrogen peroxide accumulation in flower petals. Application of exogenous antioxidants significantly reduced hydrogen peroxide accumulation as well as the incidence of brown rot disease. Application of M. fructicola spores to the surface of intact flower petals induced gene expression and increased enzyme activity of NADPH oxidase and cell wall peroxidase in host tissues, resulting in the production of hydrogen peroxide. Petals inoculated with M. fructicola exhibited high levels of protein carbonylation and lipid peroxidation. No significant response in gene expression, enzyme activity or hydrogen peroxide levels was observed in peach flower petals treated with P. digitatum. These results suggest that M. fructicola, as with other necrotrophic fungi, uses the strong oxidative response as part of a virulence mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the central importance of noncoding DNA to gene regulation and evolution, understanding of the extent of selection on plant noncoding DNA remains limited compared to that of other organisms. Here we report sequencing of genomes from three Brassicaceae species (Leavenworthia alabamica, Sisymbrium irio and Aethionema arabicum) and their joint analysis with six previously sequenced crucifer genomes. Conservation across orthologous bases suggests that at least 17% of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome is under selection, with nearly one-quarter of the sequence under selection lying outside of coding regions. Much of this sequence can be localized to approximately 90,000 conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) that show evidence of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. Population genomics analyses of two crucifer species, A. thaliana and Capsella grandiflora, confirm that most of the identified CNSs are evolving under medium to strong purifying selection. Overall, these CNSs highlight both similarities and several key differences between the regulatory DNA of plants and other species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study investigated the humoral immunization of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) against H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) infection in chickens. The effects of APS treatment on H9N2 infection was evaluated by an MTT [3(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 3-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay and analysis of MHC and cytokine mRNA expression. The effect on lymphocyte and serum antibody titers in vivo was also investigated. IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, LITAF, IL-12 and antibody titers to H9N2 AIV were enhanced in the first week after APS treatment. The results indicated that APS treatment reduces H9N2 AIV replication and promotes early humoral immune responses in young chickens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alternaria brassicicola is a successful saprophyte and necrotrophic plant pathogen. To identify molecular determinants of pathogenicity, we created non-pathogenic mutants of a transcription factor-encoding gene, Ab Pf2. The frequency and timing of germination and appressorium formation on host plants were similar between the non-pathogenic ∆abpf2 mutants and wild-type A. brassicicola. The mutants were also similar in vitro to wild-type A. brassicicola in terms of vegetative growth, conidium production, and responses to a phytoalexin, reactive oxygen species and osmolites. The hyphae of the mutants grew slowly but did not cause disease symptoms on the surface of host plants. Transcripts of the Ab Pf2 gene increased exponentially soon after wild-type conidia contacted their host plants . A small amount of Ab Pf2 protein, as monitored using GFP fusions, was present in young, mature conidia. The protein level decreased during saprophytic growth, but increased and was located primarily in fungal nuclei during pathogenesis. Levels of the proteins and transcripts sharply decreased following colonization of host tissues beyond the initial infection site. When expression of the transcription factor was induced in the wild-type during early pathogenesis, 106 fungal genes were also induced in the wild-type but not in the ∆abpf2 mutants. Notably, 33 of the 106 genes encoded secreted proteins, including eight putative effector proteins. Plants inoculated with ∆abpf2 mutants expressed higher levels of genes associated with photosynthesis, the pentose phosphate pathway and primary metabolism, but lower levels of defense-related genes. Our results suggest that Ab Pf2 is an important regulator of pathogenesis, but does not affect other cellular processes in A. brassicicola. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) agonist, fenofibrate favorably modulates dyslipidemia and inflammation markers, which are associated with cardiovascular risk. To determine whether variation in the PPARα receptor gene was associated with lipid and inflammatory marker response, we conducted a 3-week trial of fenofibrate in 861 men and women. Mixed linear models that controlled for age and sex, as well as family pedigree and study center, were constructed using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PPARα gene as predictors and changes in fasting triglycerides (TGs), cholesterol and inflammatory markers as outcomes. Significant associations with low-density cholesterol and interleukin-2 (P<0.001) responses to fenofibrate were found. Although there were suggestive associations with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and TG responses (P<0.05), these did not survive the correction for multiple testing. We conclude that variants in the PPARα gene may contribute to future pharmacogenomic paradigms seeking to predict fenofibrate responders from both an anti-dyslipidemic and anti-inflammatory perspective.

AB  - Introduction:Genetics is behind our circadian machinery. CLOCK (Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput) 3111T/C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been previously related to obesity and weight loss. However, phenotypic association and functionality of CLOCK 3111 locus is still unknown. The aim of this study was to determine, in free-living conditions, if the presence of CLOCK 3111C in overweight women could be related to (a) circadian disorders, and (b) changes in sleep quality, to improve understanding of the previously demonstrated associations with obesity and reduced weight loss of the C carriers.Methods:Wrist temperature, actimetry and position (TAP) and TAP variables were measured as markers of circadian functionality during 8 consecutive days. A rest-activity and food diary was also completed, whereas sleep quality was determined by domiciliary polysomnography. We recruited 85 women who were overweight with body mass index (BMI) of 28.59±4.30 kg m−2 and age 43±12 years. From this sample, we found that 43 women were carrying the minor allele (C) for CLOCK 3111T/C SNP and 42 women were TT carriers (major allele carriers). Both groups of patients were matched for number, age, obesity parameters and energy intake.Results:Compared with TT subjects, who showed more robust circadian rhythm profiles, patients with the C allele displayed significant circadian abnormalities: lower amplitude and greater fragmentation of the rhythm, a less stable circadian pattern and a significantly weakened circadian function, as assessed by the circadian function index (CFI). C subjects were also less active, started their activities later in the morning and were sleepier during the day, showing a delayed acrophase that characterizes 'evening-type' subjects.Conclusion:C genetic variants in CLOCK 3111T/C display a less robust circadian rhythm than TT and a delayed acrophase that characterizes 'evening-type' subjects. We support the notion that identifying CLOCK genotypes in patients may assist the therapist in characterization of the roots of the metabolic problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Coccolithophores have influenced the global climate for over 200 million years. These marine phytoplankton can account for 20 per cent of total carbon fixation in some systems. They form blooms that can occupy hundreds of thousands of square kilometres and are distinguished by their elegantly sculpted calcium carbonate exoskeletons (coccoliths), rendering them visible from space. Although coccolithophores export carbon in the form of organic matter and calcite to the sea floor, they also release CO2 in the calcification process. Hence, they have a complex influence on the carbon cycle, driving either CO2 production or uptake, sequestration and export to the deep ocean. Here we report the first haptophyte reference genome, from the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi strain CCMP1516, and sequences from 13 additional isolates. Our analyses reveal a pan genome (core genes plus genes distributed variably between strains) probably supported by an atypical complement of repetitive sequence in the genome. Comparisons across strains demonstrate that E. huxleyi, which has long been considered a single species, harbours extensive genome variability reflected in different metabolic repertoires. Genome variability within this species complex seems to underpin its capacity both to thrive in habitats ranging from the equator to the subarctic and to form large-scale episodic blooms under a wide variety of environmental conditions.

AB  - Sensor networks are revolutionizing environmental monitoring by producing massive quantities of data that are being made publically available in near real time. These data streams pose a challenge for ecologists because traditional approaches to quality assurance and quality control are no longer practical when confronted with the size of these data sets and the demands of real-time processing. Automated methods for rapidly identifying and (ideally) correcting problematic data are essential However, advances in sensor hardware have outpaced those in software, creating need for tools to implement automated quality assurance and quality control procedures, produce graphical and statistical summaries for review, and track the provenance of the data. Use of automated tools would enhance data integrity and reliability and would reduce delays in releasing data products. Development of community-wide standards for quality assurance and quality control would instill confidence in sensor data and would improve interoperability across environmental sensor networks.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to measure both summer and winter nutrient mitigation efficiencies of three aquatic plants found in agricultural drainage ditches in the lower Mississippi River Basin. Mesocosms (1.25 × 0.6 × 0.8 m) were filled with sediment and planted with monocultures of one of three obligate wetland plant species,Typha latifolia,Thalia dealbata, andSagittaria latifolia, or left nonvegetated to serve as controls. Mesocosms were amended with nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate over a 4-h hydraulic retention time, followed by an 8-h flushing with nonamended water to assess residual nutrient leaching in both summer and winter exposures. Significant interactions between vegetation type and season were noted for both nitrate and total inorganic phosphorus concentrations and loads. Future research will focus on altering hydraulic retention time for improved efficiency, as well as the specific contribution of microbial activity to nutrient mitigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rarely is it possible to obtain absolute numbers in free-ranging populations and although various direct and indirect methods are used to estimate abundance, few are validated against populations of known size. In this paper, we apply grounding, calibration and verification methods, used to validate mathematical models, to methods of estimating relative abundance. To illustrate how this might be done, we consider and evaluate the widely applied passive tracking index (PTI) methodology. Using published data, we examine the rationality of PTI methodology, how conceptually animal activity and abundance are related and how alternative methods are subject to similar biases or produce similar abundance estimates and trends. We then attune the method against populations representing a range of densities likely to be encountered in the field. Finally, we compare PTI trends against a prediction that adjacent populations of the same species will have similar abundance values and trends in activity. We show that while PTI abundance estimates are subject to environmental and behavioural stochasticity peculiar to each species, the PTI method and associated variance estimate showed high probability of detection, high precision of abundance values and, generally, low variability between surveys, and suggest that the PTI method applied using this procedure and for these species provides a sensitive and credible index of abundance. This same or similar validation approach can and should be applied to alternative relative abundance methods in order to demonstrate their credibility and justify their use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A two-component pheromone, (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 S)- and (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 R)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol (murgantiol), present in emissions from adult male harlequin bugs, Murgantia histrionica, is most attractive in field bioassays to adults and nymphs in the naturally occurring ratio of ca. 1.4:1. Each of the two individual synthetic stereoisomers is highly attractive to male and female adults and nymphs, but is more attractive in combination and when deployed with a harlequin bug host plant. Blends of 8 stereoisomers also are highly attractive, suggesting that isomers not found in the natural pheromone are not repellent. Deployment of an inexpensive non-stereospecific synthetic pheromone holds promise for efficient trapping and/or use in trap-crops for this important pest in North America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Preparation of a complete stereoisomeric library of 1,10-bisaboladien-3-ols and selected 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ols was pivotal for the identification of the aggregation pheromone of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys. Herein, we describe syntheses of the remaining 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ols, and provide additional evidence on the assignment of relative and absolute configurations of these compounds by single-crystal X-ray crystallography of an intermediate, (3 S,6 R,7 R,10 S)-1-bisabolen-3,10,11-triol. To demonstrate the utility of this stereoisomeric library, we revisited the aggregation pheromone of the harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica, and showed that the male-produced pheromone consists of two stereoisomers of 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol. Employment of eight cis-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol stereoisomeric standards, two enantioselective GC columns, and NMR spectroscopy enabled the identification of these compounds as (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 S)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol and (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 R)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol, which are produced by M. histrionica males in 1.4:1 ratio.

AB  - Flexible software was designed to replace the current animal model programs used for national genetic evaluations. Model improvements included (1) multi-trait processing, (2) multiple fixed class and regression variables, (3) differing models for different traits, (4) random regressions, and (5) foreign data included using pseudo-records. Computational improvements included (6) parallel processing, (7) renumbering class variables to equation numbers within the program so that estimated effects are output with original identification numbers, and (8) reliability computed within the same program. When applied to 3 fertility traits of 27,971,895 cows and heifers, the new model used daughter pregnancy rate as a correlated trait to improve heifer and cow conception rate evaluations for older animals and in herd-years where records are missing, and also added information from crossbreds. When applied to 7 traits and 76,846,327 lactation records of 30,064,300 cows, gains in accuracy were small for yield and somatic cell score, moderate for daughter pregnancy rate, and larger for productive life for recent bulls compared with single-trait evaluations. For very old bulls, multi-trait gains were also large for protein because lactation records were available only for milk and fat. Multi-trait productive life was computed with exact rather than approximate methods; however, correlated information from conformation was excluded, reducing advantages of the new model over the previous software. Estimates of breed differences, inbreeding depression, and heterosis were similar to previous estimates; new estimates were obtained for conception rates. Predictions were compared by truncating 4 yr of data, and genetic trend validation was applied to all breed-trait combinations. The estimates of trend account for increases in inbreeding across time. Incorporation of foreign data gave correlations above 0.98 for new with previous evaluations of foreign Holstein bulls, but lower for other breeds. The 7-trait model required 35 GB of memory and 3 d to converge using 7 processors. The new software was implemented for fertility traits in 2013 and is scheduled for implementation with yield, somatic cell score, and productive life in 2014. Further revision of the models and software may be needed in the near future to account for genomic preselection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Post-fire mulch and seeding treatments, often applied on steep, severely burned slopes immediately after large wildfires, are meant to reduce the potential of erosion and establishment of invasive plants, especially non-native plants, that could threaten values at risk. However, the effects of these treatments on native vegetation response post fire are little studied, especially beyond one to two years. We compared species richness, diversity, and percent canopy cover of understory plants one, two, three, four, and six years after immediate post-fire application of wood strand mulch, agricultural wheat straw mulch, hydromulch + seed with locally adapted native grasses, seed only with locally adapted native grasses with no mulch, and untreated (no mulch or grass seeding) after the 2005 School Fire in Washington, USA. For wood strand mulch treatments, mean canopy cover of grasses and forbs was low, varying from 3 % to 20 % in post-fire years two through six; whereas wheat straw mulch had the lowest mean cover of grasses, <1 %, and the highest canopy cover of both forbs and shrubs, each >29 % in post-fire years two through six. Plots hydromulched and seeded with grass, and those seeded with grass but not mulched, tended to have higher grass cover than other treatments and untreated plots over the six years. Species richness and diversity was highest for the hydromulch + seed treatment. Ten non-native species were found, but never with more than 2 % canopy cover, each. Although the inference of our small-plot work is limited, our results suggest that post-fire rehabilitation treatments apparently altered the abundance and diversity of native perennial understory plants for one to six years post fire-effects that could persist for decades.

AB  - Los tratamientos post-fuego de mulch y siembra, aplicados inmediatamente después de grandes incendios sobre pendientes escarpadas y severamente quemadas, se realizan para reducir el potencial de erosión y el establecimiento de plantas exóticas invasoras que podrían poner en riesgo otros valores. Sin embargo, los efectos de estos tratamientos post-fuego sobre la vegetación nativa están poco estudiados, especialmente después de uno o dos años de aplicados. Nosotros comparamos la riqueza de especies, la diversidad y el porcentaje de la cubierta del dosel de las plantas del sotobosque, uno, dos, tres, cuatro y seis años después del fuego mediante la aplicación de mulch de madera, mulch de paja de trigo, hidromulch más semillas de gramíneas nativas adaptadas al lugar, semillas de gramíneas nativas adaptadas sin mulch, y sin tratamiento (sin mulch ni semillas de gramíneas), luego del incendio de School Fire en 2005, en Washington, EEUU. Para los tratamientos con mulch de madera, la cobertura del dosel de gramíneas y hierbas fue baja, variando entre el 3% y 20% a los dos y seis años después del fuego, mientras que el mulch de paja del trigo obtuvo el promedio más bajo de cobertura de gramíneas, <1%, y la más alta cobertura del dosel de herbáceas y arbustos, cada una >29% a dos y seis años después del fuego. Las parcelas con hidromulch más semillas de gramíneas, y aquéllas con gramíneas pero sin mulch, tendieron a tener una cobertura más alta de gramíneas que los otros tratamientos y que las parcelas sin tratar, por más de seis años. La riqueza de especies y la diversidad fueron más altas para el tratamiento de hidromulch con las semillas de gramíneas nativas. Diez especies exóticas fueron encontradas, pero nunca con más del 2% de cobertura del dosel cada una. A pesar de que la inferencia de nuestro trabajo está limitada por el pequeño tamaño de las parcelas, nuestros resultados sugieren que los tratamientos de rehabilitación post-fuego aparentemente alteraron la abundancia y diversidad de plantas nativas perennes bajo dosel por uno a seis años después del fuego, pudiendo estos efectos persistir por décadas.

AB  - Winter cover crops are an effective conservation management practice with potential to improve water quality. Throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed (CBW), which is located in the mid-Atlantic US, winter cover crop use has been emphasized, and federal and state cost-share programs are available to farmers to subsidize the cost of cover crop establishment. The objective of this study was to assess the long-term effect of planting winter cover crops to improve water quality at the watershed scale (~ 50 km²) and to identify critical source areas of high nitrate export. A physically based watershed simulation model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), was calibrated and validated using water quality monitoring data to simulate hydrological processes and agricultural nutrient cycling over the period of 1990-2000. To accurately simulate winter cover crop biomass in relation to growing conditions, a new approach was developed to further calibrate plant growth parameters that control the leaf area development curve using multitemporal satellite-based measurements of species-specific winter cover crop performance. Multiple SWAT scenarios were developed to obtain baseline information on nitrate loading without winter cover crops and to investigate how nitrate loading could change under different winter cover crop planting scenarios, including different species, planting dates, and implementation areas. The simulation results indicate that winter cover crops have a negligible impact on the water budget but significantly reduce nitrate leaching to groundwater and delivery to the waterways. Without winter cover crops, annual nitrate loading from agricultural lands was approximately 14 kg ha-1, but decreased to 4.6-10.1 kg ha-1 with cover crops resulting in a reduction rate of 27-67% at the watershed scale. Rye was the most effective species, with a potential to reduce nitrate leaching by up to 93% with early planting at the field scale. Early planting of cover crops (~ 30 days of additional growing days) was crucial, as it lowered nitrate export by an additional ~ 2 kg ha-1 when compared to late planting scenarios. The effectiveness of cover cropping increased with increasing extent of cover crop implementation. Agricultural fields with well-drained soils and those that were more frequently used to grow corn had a higher potential for nitrate leaching and export to the waterways. This study supports the effective implementation of cover crop programs, in part by helping to target critical pollution source areas for cover crop implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A combination of coal fly ash (FA) and a polymer binder, namely, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), was used to pelletize immobilized amine CO2 sorbents. The pelletization of mixtures of FA and 50 wt % tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) or ethylenimine oligomer mixture ( Mw=423)/silica (EI423-S) with PVC created a rigid PVC/FA/sorbent network. The strength of the network was attributed, in part, to the hydrogen bonding of PVC with the hydroxy and amine groups of the FA and sorbent (infrared spectroscopy). Increasing the PVC molecular weight or FA content enhanced the pellet strength and reduced CO2 capture. The optimum pellet, FA/EI423-S (20/80)_PVC62 [10 wt % PVC62 ( Mw=62 000), 17 wt % FA], captured 1.33 mmol [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nearly all of the ecosystem services supported by rangelands, including production of livestock forage, carbon sequestration, and provisioning of clean water, are negatively impacted by soil erosion. Accordingly, monitoring the severity, spatial extent, and rate of soil erosion is essential for long-term sustainable management. Traditional field-based methods of monitoring erosion (sediment traps, erosion pins, and bridges) can be labor intensive and therefore are generally limited in spatial intensity and/or extent. There is a growing effort to monitor natural resources at broad scales, which is driving the need for new soil erosion monitoring tools. One remote-sensing technique that can be used to monitor soil movement is a time series of digital elevation models (DEMs) created using aerial photogrammetry methods. By geographically coregistering the DEMs and subtracting one surface from the other, an estimate of soil elevation change can be created. Such analysis enables spatially explicit quantification and visualization of net soil movement including erosion, deposition, and redistribution. We constructed DEMs (12-cm ground sampling distance) on the basis of aerial photography immediately before and 1 year after a vegetation removal treatment on a 31-ha Piñon-Juniper woodland in southeastern Utah to evaluate the use of aerial photography in detecting soil surface change. On average, we were able to detect surface elevation change of ± 8−9cm and greater, which was sufficient for the large amount of soil movement exhibited on the study area. Detecting more subtle soil erosion could be achieved using the same technique with higher-resolution imagery from lower-flying aircraft such as unmanned aerial vehicles. DEM differencing and process-focused field methods provided complementary information and a more complete assessment of soil loss and movement than any single technique alone. Photogrammetric DEM differencing could be used as a technique to quantitatively monitor surface change over time relative to management activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cost estimation methodology presented in this article provides planning estimates for Life Extension Programs (LEPs) for the nuclear weapons managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The estimates contain planned costs, by each stockpile system, for the U.S. nuclear deterrent for 25 years. The cost model used to produce these estimates is divided into two parts: development and production. Development costs are estimated using complexity factors derived from comparisons with prior system LEPs, along with a modified Rayleigh distribution informed by historic cost actuals. Production costs are based on anticipated production schedules and quantities, along with a variation of the Crawford model for learning curves. The estimates generated with this methodology are updated and published annually in NNSA's strategic planning document called the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan (SSMP). This article was first presented at the 2015 AACE International Annual Meeting as EST.1958. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Pasteurella multocida is the etiologic agent of fowl cholera, a highly contagious and severe disease of poultry causing significant mortality and morbidity throughout the world. All types of poultry are susceptible to fowl cholera. Turkeys are most susceptible to the peracute/acute forms of the disease while chickens are most susceptible to the acute and chronic forms of the disease. The whole genome of the Pm70 strain of P. multocida was sequenced and annotated in 2001. The Pm70 strain is not virulent to chickens and turkeys. In contrast, strains X73 and P1059 are highly virulent to turkeys, chickens, and other poultry species. In this study, we sequenced the genomes of P. multocida strains X73 and P1059 and undertook a detailed comparative genome analysis with the avirulent Pm70 strain. The goal of this study was to identify candidate genes in the virulent strains that may be involved in pathogenicity of fowl cholera disease. Results: Comparison of virulent versus avirulent avian P. multocida genomes revealed 336 unique genes among the P1059 and/or X73 genomes compared to strain Pm70. Genes of interest within this subset included those encoding an L-fucose transport and utilization system, several novel sugar transport systems, and several novel hemagglutinins including one designated PfhB4. Additionally, substantial amino acid variation was observed in many core outer membrane proteins and single nucleotide polymorphism analysis confirmed a higher dN/dS ratio within proteins localized to the outer membrane. Conclusions: Comparative analyses of highly virulent versus avirulent avian P. multocida identified a number of genomic differences that may shed light on the ability of highly virulent strains to cause disease in the avian host, including those that could be associated with enhanced virulence or fitness.

Protective factors provided by developing social capital at the individual level include access to support networks, transition to employment, and community connectedness. The authors feature approaches from the cooperative extension system, which links university and community resources, and identify exemplary programs that support social capital development by intervening with families, schools, neighborhoods, and communities.

AB  - Aims To describe, at high resolution, the bacterial population dynamics and chemical transformations during the ensiling of alfalfa and subsequent exposure to air. Methods and Results Samples of alfalfa, ensiled alfalfa and silage exposed to air were collected and their bacterial population structures compared using 16 S rRNA gene libraries containing approximately 1900 sequences each. Cultural and chemical analyses were also performed to complement the 16 S gene sequence data. Sequence analysis revealed significant differences ( P < 0·05) in the bacterial populations at each time point. The alfalfa-derived library contained mostly sequences associated with the Gammaproteobacteria (including the genera: Enterobacter, Erwinia and Pantoea); the ensiled material contained mostly sequences associated with the lactic acid bacteria ( LAB) (including the genera: Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Lactococcus). Exposure to air resulted in even greater percentages of LAB, especially among the genus Lactobacillus, and a significant drop in bacterial diversity. Conclusions In-depth 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed significant bacterial population structure changes during ensiling and again during exposure to air. Significance and Impact of the Study This in-depth description of the bacterial population dynamics that occurred during ensiling and simulated feed out expands our knowledge of these processes.

AB  - Background: In a marker-trait association study we estimated the statistical significance of 65 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 23 candidate genes on HDL levels of two independent Caucasian populations. Each population consisted of men and women and their HDL levels were adjusted for gender and body weight. We used a linear regression model. Selected genes corresponded to folate metabolism, vitamins B-12, A, and E, and cholesterol pathways or lipid metabolism. Methods: Extracted DNA from both the Sacramento and Beltsville populations was analyzed using an allele discrimination assay with a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry platform. The adjusted phenotype, y, was HDL levels adjusted for gender and body weight only statistical analyses were performed using the genotype association and regression modules from the SNP Variation Suite v7. Results: Statistically significant SNP (where P values were adjusted for false discovery rate) included: CETP (rs7499892 and rs5882); SLC46A1 (rs37514694; rs739439); SLC19A1 (rs3788199); CD36 (rs3211956); BCMO1 (rs6564851), APOA5 (rs662799), and ABCA1 (rs4149267). Many prior association trends of the SNP with HDL were replicated in our cross-validation study. Significantly, the association of SNP in folate transporters (SLC46A1 rs37514694 and rs739439; SLC19A1 rs3788199) with HDL was identified in our study. Conclusions: Given recent literature on the role of niacin in the biogenesis of HDL, focus on status and metabolism of B-vitamins and metabolites of eccentric cleavage of β-carotene with lipid metabolism is exciting for future study.

AB  - Chronic wasting disease (CWD), the only known prion disease endemic in wildlife, is a persistent problem in both wild and captive North American cervid populations. This disease continues to spread and cases are found in new areas each year. Indirect transmission can occur via the environment and is thought to occur by the oral and/or intranasal route. Oral transmission has been experimentally demonstrated and although intranasal transmission has been postulated, it has not been tested in a natural host until recently. Prions have been shown to adsorb strongly to clay particles and upon oral inoculation the prion/clay combination exhibits increased infectivity in rodent models. Deer and elk undoubtedly and chronically inhale dust particles routinely while living in the landscape while foraging and rutting. We therefore hypothesized that dust represents a viable vehicle for intranasal CWD prion exposure. To test this hypothesis, CWD-positive brain homogenate was mixed with montmorillonite clay (Mte), lyophilized, pulverized and inoculated intranasally into white-tailed deer once a week for 6 weeks. Deer were euthanized at 95, 105, 120 and 175 days post final inoculation and tissues examined for CWD-associated prion proteins by immunohistochemistry. Our results demonstrate that CWD can be efficiently transmitted utilizing Mte particles as a prion carrier and intranasal exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rosaceae is the most important fruit-producing clade, and its key commercially relevant genera (Fragaria, Rosa, Rubus and Prunus) show broadly diverse growth habits, fruit types and compact diploid genomes. Peach, a diploid Prunus species, is one of the best genetically characterized deciduous trees. Here we describe the high-quality genome sequence of peach obtained from a completely homozygous genotype. We obtained a complete chromosome-scale assembly using Sanger whole-genome shotgun methods. We predicted 27,852 protein-coding genes, as well as noncoding RNAs. We investigated the path of peach domestication through whole-genome resequencing of 14 Prunus accessions. The analyses suggest major genetic bottlenecks that have substantially shaped peach genome diversity. Furthermore, comparative analyses showed that peach has not undergone recent whole-genome duplication, and even though the ancestral triplicated blocks in peach are fragmentary compared to those in grape, all seven paleosets of paralogs from the putative paleoancestor are detectable.

AB  - Sulfur-containing aroma volatiles are important contributors to the distinctive aroma of melon and other fruits. Melon cultivars and accessions differ in the content of sulfur-containing and other volatiles. l-methionine has been postulated to serve as a precursor of these volatiles. Incubation of melon fruit cubes with 13C- and 2H-labeled l-methionine revealed two distinct catabolic routes into volatiles. One route apparently involves the action of an l-methionine aminotransferase and preserves the main carbon skeleton of l-methionine. The second route apparently involves the action of an l-methionine-γ-lyase activity, releasing methanethiol, a backbone for formation of thiol-derived aroma volatiles. Exogenous l-methionine also generated non-sulfur volatiles by further metabolism of α-ketobutyrate, a product of l-methionine-γ-lyase activity. α-Ketobutyrate was further metabolized into l-isoleucine and other important melon volatiles, including non-sulfur branched and straight-chain esters. Cell-free extracts derived from ripe melon fruit exhibited l-methionine-γ-lyase enzymatic activity. A melon gene ( CmMGL) ectopically expressed in Escherichia coli, was shown to encode a protein possessing l-methionine-γ-lyase enzymatic activity. Expression of Cm MGL was relatively low in early stages of melon fruit development, but increased in the flesh of ripe fruits, depending on the cultivar tested. Moreover, the levels of expression of Cm MGL in recombinant inbred lines co-segregated with the levels of sulfur-containing aroma volatiles enriched with +1 m/ z unit and postulated to be produced via this route. Our results indicate that l-methionine is a precursor of both sulfur and non-sulfur aroma volatiles in melon fruit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nematode effector proteins originating from esophageal gland cells play central roles in suppressing plant defenses and in formation of the plant feeding cells that are required for growth and development of cyst nematodes. A gene ( Gr UBCEP12) encoding a unique ubiquitin carboxyl extension protein ( UBCEP) that consists of a signal peptide for secretion, a mono-ubiquitin domain, and a 12 amino acid carboxyl extension protein (CEP12) domain was cloned from the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis. This Gr UBCEP12 gene was expressed exclusively within the nematode's dorsal esophageal gland cell, and was up-regulated in the parasitic second-stage juvenile, correlating with the time when feeding cell formation is initiated. We showed that specific Gr UBCEP12 knockdown via RNA interference reduced nematode parasitic success, and that over-expression of the secreted GrΔSPUBCEP12 protein in potato resulted in increased nematode susceptibility, providing direct evidence that this secreted effector is involved in plant parasitism. Using transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana, we found that GrΔSPUBCEP12 is processed into free ubiquitin and a CEP12 peptide ( Gr CEP12) in planta, and that Gr CEP12 suppresses resistance gene-mediated cell death. A target search showed that expression of RPN2a, a gene encoding a subunit of the 26S proteasome, was dramatically suppressed in Gr Δ SP UBCEP 12 but not Gr CEP12 over-expression plants when compared with control plants. Together, these results suggest that, when delivered into host plant cells, GrΔSPUBCEP12 becomes two functional units, one acting to suppress plant immunity and the other potentially affecting the host 26S proteasome, to promote feeding cell formation.

AB  - Permittivities from 10 to 4500 MHz at 24°C were measured on pulp and juice of watermelons of different maturities with an open-ended coaxial-line probe and network analyzer. The dielectric constant of both materials decreased monotonically with increasing frequency and loss factor had a minimum at about 1000 MHz. Moreover, the pulp and juice had very similar loss factor values at each frequency. Ionic conduction is the major loss mechanism at lower frequencies in this range, while dipolar losses are dominant at the higher frequencies. The best linear coefficients of determination, 0.8 and 0.69, were found at 4500 MHz for correlations between the loss tangent of juice and soluble solids content and between loss tangent of juice and soluble solids content/pH, respectively. The penetration depth of electromagnetic energy in pulp and juice at 4500 MHz was 4 mm. The study offers useful information in assessing watermelon quality from dielectric properties.

AB  - Termites effectively feed on many types of lignocellulose assisted by their gut microbial symbionts. To better understand the microbial decomposition of biomass with varied chemical profiles, it is important to determine whether termites harbor different microbial symbionts with specialized functionalities geared toward different feeding regimens. In this study, we compared the microbiota in the hindgut paunch of Amitermes wheeleri collected from cow dung and Nasutitermes corniger feeding on sound wood by 16S rRNA pyrotag, comparative metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analyses. We found that Firmicutes and Spirochaetes were the most abundant phyla in A. wheeleri, in contrast to N. corniger where Spirochaetes and Fibrobacteres dominated. Despite this community divergence, a convergence was observed for functions essential to termite biology including hydrolytic enzymes, homoacetogenesis and cell motility and chemotaxis. Overrepresented functions in A. wheeleri relative to N. corniger microbiota included hemicellulose breakdown and fixed-nitrogen utilization. By contrast, glycoside hydrolases attacking celluloses and nitrogen fixation genes were overrepresented in N. corniger microbiota. These observations are consistent with dietary differences in carbohydrate composition and nutrient contents, but may also reflect the phylogenetic difference between the hosts.

AB  - Root nodules are the symbiotic organ of legumes that house nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Many genes are specifically induced in nodules during the interactions between the host plant and symbiotic rhizobia. Information regarding the regulation of expression for most of these genes is lacking. One of the largest gene families expressed in the nodules of the model legume Medicago truncatula is the nodule cysteine-rich (NCR) group of defensin-like (DEFL) genes. We used a custom Affymetrix microarray to catalog the expression changes of 566 NCRs at different stages of nodule development. Additionally, bacterial mutants were used to understand the importance of the rhizobial partners in induction of NCRs. Expression of early NCRs was detected during the initial infection of rhizobia in nodules and expression continued as nodules became mature. Late NCRs were induced concomitantly with bacteroid development in the nodules. The induction of early and late NCRs was correlated with the number and morphology of rhizobia in the nodule. Conserved 41 to 50 bp motifs identified in the upstream 1,000 bp promoter regions of NCRs were required for promoter activity. These cis-element motifs were found to be unique to the NCR family among all annotated genes in the M. truncatula genome, although they contain sub-regions with clear similarity to known regulatory motifs involved in nodule-specific expression and temporal gene regulation.

AB  - Background:There is emerging literature demonstrating a relationship between the timing of feeding and weight regulation in animals. However, whether the timing of food intake influences the success of a weight-loss diet in humans is unknown.Objective:To evaluate the role of food timing in weight-loss effectiveness in a sample of 420 individuals who followed a 20-week weight-loss treatment.Methods:Participants (49.5% female subjects; age (mean±s.d.): 42±11 years; BMI: 31.4±5.4 kg m−2) were grouped in early eaters and late eaters, according to the timing of the main meal (lunch in this Mediterranean population). 51% of the subjects were early eaters and 49% were late eaters (lunch time before and after 1500 hours, respectively), energy intake and expenditure, appetite hormones, CLOCK genotype, sleep duration and chronotype were studied.Results:Late lunch eaters lost less weight and displayed a slower weight-loss rate during the 20 weeks of treatment than early eaters (P=0.002). Surprisingly, energy intake, dietary composition, estimated energy expenditure, appetite hormones and sleep duration was similar between both groups. Nevertheless, late eaters were more evening types, had less energetic breakfasts and skipped breakfast more frequently that early eaters (all; P<0.05). CLOCK rs4580704 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with the timing of the main meal (P=0.015) with a higher frequency of minor allele (C) carriers among the late eaters (P=0.041). Neither sleep duration, nor CLOCK SNPs or morning/evening chronotype was independently associated with weight loss (all; P>0.05).Conclusions:Eating late may influence the success of weight-loss therapy. Novel therapeutic strategies should incorporate not only the caloric intake and macronutrient distribution-as is classically done-but also the timing of food. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: Similar to parks, college campuses may promote physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of adults at urban campuses and parks.Participants: Participants were individuals observed on campuses and parks in April 2011.Methods: The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities was used to assess physical activity at 3 campuses and parks, 3 times/day, for 4 days.Results: Greater proportions of individuals (parks, campuses) were observed in vigorous (28.7%, 11.9%) and sedentary (25%, 18.3%) activities at parks than campuses and a greater proportion observed in walking (69.8%, 46.3%) intensity on campuses than parks. More men than women were observed at both parks and campuses, and paths and sport courts were most frequently used for physical activity.Conclusions: Physical activity intensities differ across college campuses and parks that provided similar physical activity amenities. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness of outdoor campus amenities that promote physical activity and understanding the outdoor amenities that of promote physical activity of women.

AB  - Ecological studies often suggest that diverse communities are most resistant to invasion by exotic plants, but relatively few local species may be available to a rehabilitation practitioner. We examine the ability of monocultures and diverse assemblages to resist invasion by an exotic annual grass (cheatgrass) and an exotic biennial forb (dyer's woad) in experimental rehabilitation plots. We constructed seven assemblages that included three monocultures of grass, forb, or shrub; three four-species mixtures of grasses, forbs, or shrubs; and a three-species mixture of one species from each growth form in an experimental field setting to test resistance to invasion. Assemblages were seeded with cheatgrass and dyer's woad for two consecutive years and quantified as biomass and density of individuals from each exotic species. Soil NO3− and leaf-area index were examined as predictors of invasive plant abundance. Cheatgrass invasion was greatest in forb and shrub assemblages, and least in mixed grass or grass monoculture; dyer's woad invasion was greatest into mixed grass or grass monoculture, but least into monoculture or mixed-species assemblages composed of forbs or shrubs. The community composed of grasses, forbs, and shrubs suppressed invasion by both species. Consequently, assemblages were most resistant to invasion by species of the same growth form. Moreover, these monocultures and mixtures were generally similar in conferring resistance to invasion, but a monoculture of big sagebrush was more resistant than a mixture of shrubs. Soil NO3− was correlated with invasion by cheatgrass, whereas LAI was correlated with invasion by dyer's woad, suggesting these species were more limited by belowground and aboveground resources, respectively. Overall, increasing diversity with limited species did not necessarily enhance resistance to invasion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - State-and-transition models for semiarid grasslands in the North American Great Plains suggest that the presence of herbivorous black-tailed prairie dogs ( Cynomys ludovicianus) on a site 1) creates a vegetation state characterized by increased dominance of annual forbs and unpalatable bunchgrasses and increased bare soil exposure and 2) requires long-term (> 40 yr) prairie dog removal to transition back to a vegetation state dominated by palatable perennial grasses. Here, we examine 1) how the recent history of prairie dog occupancy on a site (1-10 yr) influences the magnitude of prairie dog effects on vegetation composition and 2) how occupancy history affects vegetation dynamics following extirpation of prairie dogs. We used a natural experiment in the shortgrass steppe of northeastern Colorado, USA, where prairie dogs were extirpated from multiple sites during an outbreak of epizootic plague. On sites occupied by prairie dogs for 1-4 yr prior to extirpation, plant cover and composition recovered to conditions similar to unoccupied sites within a single growing season. Larger reductions in perennial C4 grasses occurred on sites occupied for the prior 7-10 yr compared to sites with shorter occupancy histories (< 6 yr). On sites occupied for the prior 7-10 yr, C4 perennial grasses recovered after 5 yr following prairie dog extirpation; in addition, C3 perennial graminoids and forbs remained more abundant (compared to sites with no history of prairie dogs) throughout the 5-yr period. Our findings showcase that prior site occupancy (up to 10 yr) by prairie dogs did not induce irreversible shifts in vegetation state in this semiarid grassland. Rather, vegetation changes induced by prairie dogs represent primarily a phase shift in landscapes where prairie dog populations are regulated by epizootic plague. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Western juniper has increased in density and distribution in the interior Pacific Northwest since the late 1800s. Management goals for many juniper woodlands are now focused on reducing tree densities and promoting biodiversity, prompting the use of fuel reduction treatments. Fuel reduction often involves mechanical cutting and disturbances such as slash pile burning and skid trail formation. While these activities may reduce tree densities, the extent to which they will restore native biodiversity and community composition, particularly in woodlands invaded by exotic annual grasses, is unclear. We evaluated the effects of juniper cutting in two experiments of disturbance type (slash piles and skid trails) followed by three native seeding treatments (cultivar, locally sourced, and no seed) on vegetation in central Oregon. Prior to cutting, native perennial grass cover and richness were positively associated and exotic grass cover was negatively associated with juniper basal area. After cutting and 2 yr after seeding, species composition was altered for both disturbance types. Some seeded areas had higher total species richness, higher native species richness, higher cover of seeded species, and higher overall cover compared to areas that were not seeded. But seeding effectiveness in mitigating exotic species spread varied based on exotic species functional group, pretreatment propagule pressure, and experiment disturbance type. Neither seed mix lowered exotic grass cover. There was limited evidence that the cultivar mix outperformed the locally sourced native seed mix. In the short term, fuel reduction activities may have facilitated further conversion of this woodland to an exotic grassland, but longer-term evaluation is needed. In juniper woodlands that have been invaded by exotic species, fuel reduction activities may facilitate further invasion, and exotic species control may be needed to limit invasion and promote native vegetation.

AB  - The adsorption of selenium (Se) on soil is important because of the relevance of Se to environmental and health issues. The adsorption of Se(IV) and Se(VI) was evaluated on soil samples from São Paulo State, Brazil, as a function of varying pH, and the experimental data were fitted to the constant capacitance model. Adsorption experiments were conducted for 15 soil samples, after the addition of 20 µmol L−1 of either Se(IV) or Se(VI), and the adjusted pH ranged between 2.5 and 10. Selenite adsorption was high for all soils, decreased with increasing pH, and was strongly correlated with Fe and Al oxide content. In contrast, Se(VI) adsorption was very low at pH values commonly found in agricultural soils, except for the highly weathered Rhodic Acrudox. The constant capacitance model fitted the Se(IV) and Se(VI) adsorption data well. Optimizations of mono- and bidentate complexation and surface protonation constants were used for the Se(IV) adsorption data. For Se(VI), optimizations for the 2 monodentate species were employed.

AB  - Various chemical models of ion adsorption are presented and discussed. Chemical models, such as surface complexation models, provide a molecular description of anion adsorption reactions using an equilibrium approach. Two such models, the constant capacitance model and the triple layer model, are described in the present study. Characteristics common to all the surface complexation models are equilibrium constant expressions, mass and charge balances, and surface activity coefficient electrostatic potential terms. Methods for determining parameter values for surface site density, capacitances, and surface complexation constants also are discussed. Spectroscopic experimental methods of establishing ion adsorption mechanisms include vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray reflectivity. Experimental determinations of point of zero charge shifts and ionic strength dependence of adsorption results and molecular modeling calculations also can be used to deduce adsorption mechanisms. Applications of the surface complexation models to heterogeneous natural materials, such as soils, using the component additivity and the generalized composite approaches are described. Emphasis is on the generalized composite approach for predicting anion adsorption by soils. Continuing research is needed to develop consistent and realistic protocols for describing ion adsorption reactions on soil minerals and soils. The availability of standardized model parameter databases for use in chemical speciation-transport models is critical. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:2172-2180.

AB  - Four seasonal rainfall simulations in 2009 and 2010 were applied to a field containing 36 plots (0.75 × 2 m each), resulting in 144 runoff events. In all simulations, a constant rate of rainfall was applied then halted 60 min after initiation of runoff, with plot-scale monitoring of runoff every 5 min during that period. Runoff was simulated with the Kinematic Runoff and Erosion/Simulator of Transport with Infiltration and Runoff (KINEROS2/STWIR) field-scale model, whose hydrodynamics are based on the kinematic wave equation. Because of the non-linear nature of the model and a highly parameterized model with respect to the available data, several approaches were investigated to upscale nine runoff-related parameters from a series of small monitored plots to the field scale. Inverse modeling was performed using the model-independent Parameter ESTimation (PEST) algorithm to individually calibrate the nine KINEROS2/STWIR parameters on 36 plots. The parameters were averaged, and bootstrapping was used to assess uncertainty of the parameters via estimation of confidence intervals (CI). A Monte Carlo simulation using the bootstrap results showed reasonable field-scale representation of flow rates. Median values of calibrated parameters were within the 95% CI obtained with bootstrapping. The simulated results for the median values associated with the 90% CI flow rates produced similar trends as those exhibited with the observed data, suggesting that median values of the calibrated parameters from the PEST inverse modeling could be used to represent the field scale.

AB  - Piñon ( Pinus spp.) and juniper ( Juniperus spp.) trees are reduced to restore native vegetation and avoid severe fires where they have expanded into sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) communities. However, what phase of tree infilling should treatments target to retain desirable understory cover and avoid weed dominance? Prescribed fire and tree felling were applied to 8-20-ha treatment plots at 11 sites across the Great Basin with a tree-shredding treatment also applied to four Utah sites. Treatments were applied across a tree infilling gradient as quantified by a covariate tree dominance index (TDI = tree cover/[tree + shrub + tall perennial grass cover]). Mixed model analysis of covariance indicated that treatment × covariate interactions were significant ( P < 0.05) for most vegetation functional groups 3 yr after treatment. Shrub cover was most reduced with fire at any TDI or by mechanical treatment after infilling resulted in over 50% shrub cover loss (TDI > 0.4). Fire increased cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum L.) cover by an average of 4.2% for all values of TDI. Cutting or shredding trees generally produced similar responses and increased total perennial herbaceous and cheatgrass cover by an average of 10.2% and 3.8%, at TDIs ≥ 0.35 and ≥ 0.45. Cheatgrass cover estimated across the region was < 6% after treatment, but two warmer sites had high cheatgrass cover before (19.2% and 27.2%) and after tree reduction (26.6% and 50.4%). Fuel control treatments are viable management options for increasing understory cover across a range of sites and tree cover gradients, but should be accompanied by revegetation on warmer sites with depleted understories where cheatgrass is highly adapted. Shrub and perennial herbaceous cover can be maintained by mechanically treating at lower TDI. Perennial herbaceous cover is key for avoiding biotic and abiotic thresholds in this system through resisting weed dominance and erosion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - With the encroachment of piñon ( Pinus ssp.) and juniper ( Juniperus ssp.) woodlands onto sagebrush steppe rangelands, there is an increasing interest in rapid, accurate, and inexpensive quantification methods to estimate tree canopy cover and aboveground biomass. The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the relationship and agreement of piñon and juniper (P-J) canopy cover estimates, using object-based image analysis (OBIA) techniques and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP, 1-m pixel resolution) imagery with ground measurements, and 2) to investigate the relationship between remotely-sensed P-J canopy cover and ground-measured aboveground biomass. For the OBIA, we used eCognition® Developer 8.8 software to extract tree canopy cover from NAIP imagery across 12 P-J woodlands within the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) network. The P-J woodlands were categorized based on the dominant tree species found at the individual sites for the analysis (western juniper, Utah juniper, and mixed P-J community). Following tree canopy cover extractions, relationships were assessed between remotely-sensed canopy cover and ground-measured aboveground biomass. Our OBIA estimates for P-J canopy cover were highly correlated with ground-measured tree canopy cover (averaged across all regions r = 0.92). However, differences between methods occurred for western and Utah juniper sites ( P < 0.05), and were more prominent where tree canopy cover was > 40%. There were high degrees of correlation between predicted aboveground biomass estimates with the use of remotely-sensed tree canopy cover and ground-measured aboveground biomass (averaged across all regions r = 0.89). Our results suggest that OBIA methods combined with NAIP imagery can provide land managers with quantitative data that can be used to evaluate P-J woodland cover and aboveground biomass rapidly, on broad scales. Although some accuracy and precision may be lost when utilizing aerial imagery to identify P-J canopy cover and aboveground biomass, it is a reasonable alternative to ground monitoring and inventory practices.

AB  - In response to the recent expansion of piñon and juniper woodlands into sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Great Basin region, numerous conifer-removal projects have been implemented, primarily to release understory vegetation at sites having a wide range of environmental conditions. Responses to these treatments have varied from successful restoration of native plant communities to complete conversion to nonnative invasive species. To evaluate the general response of understory vegetation to tree canopy removal in conifer-encroached shrublands, we set up a region-wide study that measured treatment-induced changes in understory cover and density. Eleven study sites located across four states in the Great Basin were established as statistical replicate blocks, each containing fire, mechanical, and control treatments. Different cover groups were measured prior to and during the first 3 yr following treatment. There was a general pattern of response across the wide range of site conditions. There was an immediate increase in bare ground and decrease in tall perennial grasses following the fire treatment, but both recovered by the second or third growing season after treatment. Tall perennial grass cover increased in the mechanical treatment in the second and third year, and in the fire treatment cover was higher than the control by year 3. Nonnative grass and forb cover did not increase in the fire and mechanical treatments in the first year but increased in the second and third years. Perennial forb cover increased in both the fire and mechanical treatments. The recovery of herbaceous cover groups was from increased growth of residual vegetation, not density. Sagebrush declined in the fire treatment, but seedling density increased in both treatments. Biological soil crust declined in the fire treatment, with no indications of recovery. Differences in plant response that occurred between mechanical and fire treatments should be considered when selecting management options. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - If arid sagebrush ecosystems lack resilience to disturbances or resistance to annual invasives, then alternative successional states dominated by annual invasives, especially cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum L.), are likely after fuel treatments. We identified six Wyoming big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) locations (152-381 mm precipitation) that we believed had sufficient resilience and resistance for recovery. We examined impacts of woody fuel reduction (fire, mowing, the herbicide tebuthiuron, and untreated controls, all with and without the herbicide imazapic) on short-term dominance of plant groups and on important land health parameters with the use of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Fire and mowing reduced woody biomass at least 85% for 3 yr, but herbaceous fuels were reduced only by fire (72%) and only in the first year. Herbaceous fuels produced at least 36% more biomass with mowing than untreated areas during posttreatment years. Imazapic only reduced herbaceous biomass after fires (34%). Tebuthiuron never affected herbaceous biomass. Perennial tall grass cover was reduced by 59% relative to untreated controls in the first year after fire, but it recovered by the second year. Cover of all remaining herbaceous groups was not changed by woody fuel treatments. Only imazapic reduced significantly herbaceous cover. Cheatgrass cover was reduced at least 63% with imazapic for 3 yr. Imazapic reduced annual forb cover by at least 45%, and unexpectedly, perennial grass cover by 49% (combination of tall grasses and Sandberg bluegrass [ Poa secunda J. Presl.]). Fire reduced density of Sandberg bluegrass between 40% and 58%, decreased lichen and moss cover between 69% and 80%, and consequently increased bare ground between 21% and 34% and proportion of gaps among perennial plants > 2 m (at least 28% during the 3 yr). Fire, mowing, and imazapic may be effective in reducing fuels for 3 yr, but each has potentially undesirable consequences on plant communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Managers reduce piñon ( Pinus spp.) and juniper ( Juniperus spp.) trees that are encroaching on sagebrush ( Artemisia spp.) communities to lower fuel loads and increase cover of desirable understory species. All plant species in these communities depend on soil water held at > −1.5 MPa matric potential in the upper 0.3 m of soil for nutrient diffusion to roots and major growth in spring (resource growth pool). We measured soil water matric potentials and temperatures using gypsum blocks and thermocouples buried at 0.01-0.3 m on tree, shrub, and interspace microsites to characterize the seasonal soil climate of 13 tree-encroached sites across the Great Basin. We also tested the effects of initial tree infilling phase and tree control treatments of prescribed fire, tree cutting, and tree shredding on time of available water and soil temperature of the resource growth pool on nine sites. Both prescribed fire and mechanical tree reduction similarly increased the time that soil water was available (matric potential > −1.5 MPa) in spring, but this increase was greatest (up to 26 d) when treatments were applied at high tree dominance. As plant cover increased with time since treatment, the additional time of available water decreased. However, even in the fourth year after treatment, available water was 8.6 d and 18 d longer on treatments applied at mid and high tree dominance compared to untreated plots, indicating ongoing water availability to support continued increases in residual plants or annual invaders in the future. To increase resistance to invasive annual grasses managers should either treat at lower or mid tree dominance when there is still high cover of desirable residual vegetation or seed desirable species to use increased resources from tree reduction. This strategy is especially critical on warmer sites, which have high climate suitability to invasive species such as cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum L.) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Water quality monitoring data typically consist of $$J$$ parameters and constituents measured at $$I$$ number of static locations at $$K$$ sets of seasonal occurrences. The resulting $$I \times J \times K$$ three-way array can be difficult to interpret. Additionally, the constituent portion of the dataset (e.g., major ion and trace element concentration, pH, etc.) is compositional in that it sums to a constant (e.g., 1 kg/L) and is mathematically confined to the simplex, the sample space for compositional data. Here we apply a Tucker3 model on centered log-ratio data to find low dimensional representation of latent variables as a means to simplify data processing and interpretation of three years of seasonal compositional groundwater chemistry data for 14 wells at a study site in Wyoming, USA. The study site has been amended with treated coalbed methane produced water, using a subsurface drip irrigation system, to allow for irrigation of forage crops. Results from three-way compositional data analysis indicate that primary controls on water quality at the study site include: solutes concentration by evapotranspiration, cation exchange, and dissolution of native salts. These findings agree well with results from more detailed investigations of the site. In addition, the model identified Ba uptake during gypsum precipitation in some portions of the site during the final 6-9 months of investigation, a process for which the timing and extent had not previously been identified. These results suggest that multi-way compositional analyses hold promise as a means to more easily interpret water quality monitoring data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Liamocins are structurally unique, heavier-than-water 'oils' produced by certain strains of Aureobasidium pullulans. The aim of the current study is to identify new sources of liamocins and evaluate their potential as anticancer agents. Nine strains of A. pullulans from phylogenetic clades 8, 9, and 11 were examined for the first time for production of liamocins. Strains in these clades have only been isolated from tropical environments, and all strains tested here were from various locations in Thailand. Strains RSU 9, RSU 21, and RSU 29, all from clade 11, produced from 7.0 to 8.6 g liamocins/l from medium containing 5 % sucrose. These are the highest yields of liamocins that we have found thus far. These strains also produced from 9.4 to 17 g pullulan/l. The structural identity of liamocins was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry; differential spectra were obtained in which the dominant ion was either at about m/z 805.5 or m/z 949.6, consistent with the structure of liamocins. Liamocins from A. pullulans strains RSU 9 and RSU 21 inhibited two human breast cancer cell lines and a human cervical cancer cell line (IC values of 32.2 ± 1.4 to 63.1 ± 2.4 μg liamocins/ml) but were not toxic to a normal cell line. Liamocins weakly inhibited a strain of Enterococcus faecalis, but did not inhibit strains of Lactobacillus fermentum, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus, A. pullulans phylogenetic clade 11 is a promising source of liamocins, and these compounds merit further examination as potential anticancer agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The incidence and severity of disease associated with toxigenic Clostridium difficile have increased in hospitals in North America with the emergence of newer, more virulent strains. Toxigenic C. difficile has been isolated from food animals and retail meat with potential implications of transfer to humans. The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of C. difficile in retail seafood from grocery stores in College Station, Texas. C. difficile was found in 4.5% (3/67) of shellfish and finfish samples. The positive samples included one each from fresh mussel, frozen salmon and frozen shrimp. The mussel and salmon isolates were characterized as toxinotype V and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) type-NAP7. The shrimp isolate was identified as toxinotype XII, but had an unknown PFGE type. Susceptibilities to 11 antimicrobial agents were identical for the mussel and salmon isolates and were sensitive to eight of 11 antimicrobials (including ampicillin) and intermediate to clindamycin. However, the shrimp isolate was resistant to clindamycin and ampicillin. This study demonstrates that seafood, like other food commodities, can be contaminated by C. difficile.

AB  - Objective: To examine temporal trends and determinants of discretionary salt use in the USA.Design: Multiple logistic regression was used to assess temporal trends in discretionary salt use at the table and during home cooking/preparation, adjusting for demographic characteristics, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2012. Prevalence and determinants of discretionary salt use in 2009-2012 were also examined.Setting: Participants answered salt use questions after completing a 24 h dietary recall in a mobile examination centre.Subjects: Nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized US children and adults, aged ≥2 years.Results: From 2003 to 2012, the proportion of the population who reported using salt 'very often' declined; from 18 % to 12 % for use at the table (P<0·01) and from 42 % to 37 % during home cooking (P<0·02). While one-third of the population reported never adding salt at the table, most used it during home cooking/preparation (93 %). Use of discretionary salt was least commonly reported among young children and older adults and demographic and health subgroups at risk of CVD.Conclusions: While most people reported using salt during home cooking/preparation, a minority reported use at the table. Reported 'very often' discretionary salt use has declined. That discretionary salt use is less common among those at risk of CVD suggests awareness of messages to limit Na intake.

AB  - Objective: Evaluating an intervention's theoretical basis can inform design modifications to produce more effective interventions. Hence the present study's purpose was to determine if effects from a multicomponent lifestyle intervention were mediated by changes in the psychosocial constructs decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support.Design: Delta Body and Soul III, conducted from August 2011 to May 2012, was a 6-month, church-based, lifestyle intervention designed to improve diet quality and increase physical activity. Primary outcomes, diet quality and aerobic and strength/flexibility physical activity, as well as psychosocial constructs, were assessed via self-report, interviewer-administered surveys at baseline and post intervention. Mediation analyses were conducted using ordinary least squares (continuous outcomes) and maximum likelihood logistic (dichotomous outcomes) regression path analysis.Setting: Churches (five intervention and three control) were recruited from four counties in the Lower Mississippi Delta region of the USA.Subjects: Rural, Southern, primarily African-American adults (n 321).Results: Based upon results from the multiple mediation models, there was no evidence that treatment (intervention v. control) indirectly influenced changes in diet quality or physical activity through its effects on decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support. However, there was evidence for direct effects of social support for exercise on physical activity and of self-efficacy for sugar-sweetened beverages on diet quality.Conclusions: Results do not support the hypothesis that the psychosocial constructs decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support were the theoretical mechanisms by which the Delta Body and Soul III intervention influenced changes in diet quality and physical activity.

AB  - In 2015, a major outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) infection devastated poultry facilities in Minnesota, USA. To understand the potential role of wild birds, we tested 3,139 waterfowl fecal samples and 104 sick and dead birds during March 9-June 4, 2015. HPAIV was isolated from a Cooper's hawk but not from waterfowl fecal samples.

AB  - Outbreak data have been used to estimate the proportion of illnesses attributable to different foods. Applying outbreak-based attribution estimates to nonoutbreak foodborne illnesses requires an assumption of similar exposure pathways for outbreak and sporadic illnesses. This assumption cannot be tested, but other comparisons can assess its veracity. Our study compares demographic, clinical, temporal, and geographic characteristics of outbreak and sporadic illnesses from Campylobacter, Escherichia coli O157, Listeria, and Salmonella bacteria ascertained by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet). Differences among FoodNet sites in outbreak and sporadic illnesses might reflect differences in surveillance practices. For Campylobacter, Listeria, and Escherichia coli O157, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity, sex, and age. For Salmonella, outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar for severity and sex. Nevertheless, the percentage of outbreak illnesses in the youngest age category was lower. Therefore, we do not reject the assumption that outbreak and sporadic illnesses are similar.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated whether nonelderly US adults (aged 18-64 years) in food-insecure households are more likely to report cost-related medication underuse than the food-secure, and whether the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse differs by gender, chronic disease, and health insurance status. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2011 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (n = 67 539). We examined the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse with the χ² test and multivariate logistic regression with interaction terms. Results. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed a dose-response relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse, with an increasing likelihood of cost-related medication underuse with increasing severity of food insecurity (P<.001). This association was conditional on health insurance status, but not substantially different by gender or chronic disease status. Being female, low-income, having no or partial health insurance, chronic conditions, functional limitations, or severe mental illness were positively associated with cost-related medication underuse. Conclusions. Using food insecurity as a risk factor to assess cost-related medication underuse could help increase identification of individuals who may need assistance purchasing medications and improve health for those in food-insecure households.

N2  - In 2001-2003, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), in collaboration with the federal government of Nigeria, USAID and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), conducted a nationwide food consumption survey. Since the last national survey occurred in 1963, a major objective was to establish national baseline data for women and children under 5 years old. To ensure the accuracy and quality of detailed food intake data, IITA adapted the USDA Food Instruction Booklet (FIB), a compilation of foods consumed in the country, divided into food groups and subgroups. A Nigerian food composition database formed the basis of the Nigerian FIB, whereby, food groups, probes, a food index, and measurement guides with conversion tables were compiled. The Nigerian FIB included 18 major food groups and 79 subgroups compared to 16 food groups and 100 subgroups in the USDA FIB. For both countries, these food groups highlight how food is categorized and consumed. A typical example was how each country grouped grains and cereals. The Nigerian FIB included four separate groups (cereals, cereal products, confectionaries, and pasta). In the USDA FIB, breads and sweet breads were put together as one group. Cereal, pasta and rice were together as a second group. Examples of these food groups and probes are presented. While both FIBs contained measurement guides (cups, spoons, thickness sticks, rulers), the Nigerian FIB also included indigenous guides. These guides allowed for food weight conversions using local utensils, weights of foods cooked at home and purchased away from home, weights of foods with different sizes, and weights of food items with different measuring tools. Another unique element in the Nigerian FIB was the inclusion of scientific names for foods, their English names, and local names in the three Nigerian languages (Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo). The FIB highlights cultural similarities and differences in food consumption and demonstrates how one country's survey instrument can be adapted to meet the needs of another.

N2  - Aim: Shiga toxins are delivered via systemic circulation and are considered to be the cause of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), as they injure endothelial cells, particularly in the glomeruli. This study measured Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in the serum of children affected in by HUS due to Stx2 producing Escherichia coli. Methods: The concentration of free Stx2 was measured in the serum of 16 children, collected immediately after admission to the clinic in the acute phase of HUS, using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The family members of two children were also investigated, with the relative toxicity of Stx2 assessed by a Vero cell-based fluorescent assay. Results: Stx2 was found in the serum of eight of the 16 children who were investigated. It was also detected in four of the six family members not showing symptomatic HUS, with an extremely high level in two. Conclusion: An absent or rather low concentration of Stx2 was found in the serum of children admitted to the clinic with diarrhoea-associated HUS. The high concentration of Stx2 in family members without HUS, but mostly with watery diarrhoea and raised functional activity, was in line with the concept of early injury by Stx2.

N2  - We aimed to examine the longitudinal association of dairy consumption with the changes in blood pressure (BP) and the risk of incident hypertension (HTN) among adults. This study included 2636 Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort members who participated in the 5th through 8th examinations (1991-2008) and were free of HTN at their first examination during the follow-up. Data collected at each examination included dietary intake (by a validated FFQ), BP (following standardised procedures) and anti-hypertensive medication use (by physician-elicited self-report). HTN was defined as systolic BP (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, or diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or anti-hypertensive medication use. We used repeated-measure and discrete-time hazard regressions to examine the associations of dairy consumption with the annualised BP change (n 2075) and incident HTN (n 2340; cases=1026), respectively. Covariates included demographic, lifestyle, overall diet quality, metabolic factors and medication use. Greater intakes of total dairy foods, total low-fat/fat-free dairy foods, low-fat/skimmed milk and yoghurt were associated with smaller annualised increments in SBP and a lower risk of projected HTN incidence. However, with the exception of total dairy foods and yoghurt, these inverse associations with HTN risk were attenuated as the follow-up time increased. For yoghurt, each additional serving was associated with 6 (95% CI 1, 10)% reduced risk of incident HTN. Total dairy and total low-fat/fat-free dairy intakes were found to be inversely related to changes in DBP. Dairy consumption, as part of a nutritious and energy-balanced diet pattern, may benefit BP control and prevent or delay the onset of HTN.

N2  - Frailty has been defined as a geriatric syndrome that is characterized by a reduction in the physiological reserve required for an individual to respond to endogenous and exogenous stressors. Using a discrete definition of frailty that includes sedentariness, involuntary weight loss, fatigue, poor muscle strength, and slow gait speed, 'frailty' has been associated with increased disability, postsurgical complications, and increased mortality. Despite the strong associations between frailty and subsequent poor outcomes, limited attention to this common geriatric condition has been paid in clinical settings. A more fundamental basic understanding of the biological factors that contribute to the frailty phenotype has begun to emerge. Multiple underlying biological factors such as dysregulation of inflammatory processes, genomic instability, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence appear to contribute to the clinical presentation of frailty. This chapter summarizes the papers presented on the biological basis of frailty from the 83rd Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop on 'Frailty, Pathophysiology, Phenotype and Patient Care' held in Barcelona, Spain, in March 2014.

N2  - Background: Valid methods of diet assessment are important for nutrition research and practice, but can be difficult with children. Objective: To validate the 2012 version of the Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Dietary Recall for Children (ASA24-Kids-2012), a self-administered web-based 24-hour dietary recall (24hDR) instrument, among children aged 9 to 11 years, in two sites. Design: Quasiexperimental. Participants/setting: In one site, trained staff members observed and recorded foods and drinks consumed by children (n=38) during school lunch. The next day, the observed children completed both ASA24-Kids-2012 and an interviewer-administered 24hDR in a randomized order. Procedures in a second site (n=31) were similar, except observations occurred during dinner in a community location. Statistical analyses: Foods were classified as matches (reported and consumed), intrusions (reported, but not consumed), or omissions (not reported, but consumed) for each participant. Rates of matches, intrusions, and omissions were calculated. Rates were compared between each recall method using repeated measures analysis of covariance. For matched foods, the authors determined correlation coefficients between observed and reported serving sizes. Results: Match, intrusion, and omission rates between ASA24-Kids-2012 and observed intakes in Site 1 were 37%, 27%, and 35%, respectively. Comparable rates for interviewer-administered 24hDRs were 57%, 20%, and 23%, respectively. In Site 2, match, intrusion, and omission rates between ASA24-Kids-2012 and observed intakes were 53%, 12%, and 36%, respectively, vs 76% matches, 9% intrusions, and 15% omissions for interviewer-administered 24hDRs. The relationship strength between reported and observed serving sizes for matched foods was 0.18 in Site 1 and 0.09 in Site 2 for ASA24-Kids-2012, and 0.46 in Site 1 and 0.11 in Site 2 for interviewer-administered 24hDRs. Conclusions: ASA24-Kids-2012 was less accurate than interviewer-administered 24hDRs when compared with observed intakes, but both performed poorly. Additional research should assess the age at which children can complete recalls without the help of a parent or guardian, as well as elucidate under which circumstances recalls can reasonably be used among children.

N2  - Background: The current magnitude of folate and vitamin B12 deficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean is uncertain. Objective: To summarize data on plasma or serum vitamin B12 and folate concentrations in Latin America and the Caribbean reported since 1990, a period that covers the era before and after the introduction of folic acid fortification. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in 2012 and updated in 2014. Studies and surveys using biochemical biomarkers and conducted in apparently healthy individuals were identified. Results: Folate deficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean appears not to be a public health problem (prevalence &lt;5%) after the introduction of folic acid fortification. However, there is some indication that high rates of low or marginal vitamin B12 status remain in most locations and across population groups. Conclusions: Adding vitamin B12 as a fortificant with folic acid may be the best strategy in areas where vitamin B12 deficiency is an established concern.

N2  - Filth fly control measures may be optimized with a better understanding of fly population dynamics measured throughout the day. We describe the modification of a commercial motorized sequential mosquito trap to accept liquid odorous bait and leverage a classic inverted-cone design to passively confine flies in 8 modified collection bottles corresponding to 8 intervals. Efficacy trials in a hot-arid desert environment indicate no significant difference (P=0.896) between the modified sequential trap and a Rid-Max® fly trap.

N2  - Physical activity and soy protein isolate (SPI) augmentation have been reported to be beneficial for bone health. We hypothesized that combining voluntary running and SPI intake would alleviate detrimental changes in bone induced by a high-fat diet. A 2×2×2 experiment was designed with diets containing 16% or 45% of energy as corn oil and 20% SPI or casein fed to sedentary or running male C57BL/6 mice for 14 weeks. Distal femurs were assessed for microstructural changes. The high-fat diet significantly decreased trabecular number (Tb.N) and bone mineral density (BMD) and increased trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). Soy protein instead of casein, regardless of fat content, in the diet significantly increased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and decreased Tb.Sp. Voluntary running, regardless of fat content, significantly decreased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and increased Tb.Sp. The high-fat diet significantly decreased osteocalcin and increased tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP 5b) concentrations in plasma. Plasma concentrations of osteocalcin were increased by both SPI and running. Running alleviated the increase in TRAP 5b induced by the high-fat diet. These findings demonstrate that a high-fat diet is deleterious, and SPI is beneficial to trabecular bone properties. The deleterious effect of voluntary running on trabecular structural characteristics indicates that there may be a maximal threshold of running beyond which beneficial effects cease and detrimental effects occur. Increases in plasma osteocalcin and decreases in plasma TRAP 5b in running mice suggest that a compensatory response occurs to counteract the detrimental effects of excessive running.

N2  - We examined sera from snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) livetrapped in the northern Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA), US, for antibodies to Brucella abortus, Francisella tularensis, and snowshoe hare virus (SSHV). Zero of 90, 0 of 67, and 40 of 100 samples were antibody positive for B. abortus, F. tularensis, and SSHV, respectively. Hares were trapped from 2009 to 2012, and of the six animals that were captured twice with at least 1 yr between captures, four developed antibody to SSHV, indicating active exposure to the agent. These findings suggest snowshoe hares in the GYA do not play a significant role as a reservoir of B. abortus, but do maintain the zoonotic, encephalitic SSHV in the population.

N2  - Brucellosis (caused by the bacterium Brucella abortus) is a zoonotic disease endemic in wild elk (Cervus canadensis) of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, US. Because livestock and humans working with elk or livestock are at risk, validated tests to detect the B. abortus antibody in elk are needed. Using the κ-statistic, we evaluated the buffered, acidified plate antigen (BAPA) assay for agreement with the results of the four serologic tests (card test [card], complement fixation test [CF], rivanol precipitation plate agglutination test [RIV], standard plate agglutination test [SPT]) that are approved by the US Department of Agriculture for the detection of the B. abortus antibody in elk. From 2006 to 2010, serum samples collected from elk within B. abortus-endemic areas (n=604) and nonendemic areas (n=707) and from elk culture-positive for B. abortus (n=36) were split and blind tested by four elk serum diagnostic laboratories. κ-Values showed a high degree of agreement for the card (0.876), RIV (0.84), and CF (0.774) test pairings and moderate agreement for the SPT (0.578). Sensitivities for the BAPA, card, RIV, CF, and SPT were 0.859, 0.839, 0.899, 1.00, and 0.813, whereas specificities were 0.986, 0.993, 0.986, 0.98, and 0.968, respectively. The positive predictive values and the negative predictive values were calculated for 2.6%, 8.8%, and 16.2% prevalence levels. These findings suggest the BAPA test is a suitable screening test for the B. abortus antibodies in elk.

N2  - Objectives. We investigated the health and safety effects of urban green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) installments. Methods. We conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of the effects of GSI installments on health (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol and stress levels) and safety (e.g., felonies, nuisance and property crimes, narcotics crimes) outcomes from 2000 to 2012 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We used mixed-effects regression models to compare differences in pre- and post-treatment measures of outcomes for treatment sites (n=52) and randomly chosen, matched control sites (n=186) within multiple geographic extents surrounding GSI sites. Results. Regression-adjusted models showed consistent and statistically significant reductions in narcotics possession (18%-27% less) within 16th-mile, quarter-mile, half-mile (P&lt;.001), and eighth-mile (P&lt;.01) distances from treatment sites and at the census tract level (P&lt;.01). Narcotics manufacture and burglaries were also significantly reduced at multiple scales. Non-significant reductions in homicides, assaults, thefts, public drunkenness, and narcotics sales were associated with GSI installation in at least 1 geographic extent. Conclusions. Health and safety considerations should be included in future assessments of GSI programs. Subsequent studies should assess mechanisms of this association.

N2  - Sarmentine, 1-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-(2E,4E)-2,4-decadien-1-one, is a natural amide isolated from the fruits of Piper species. The compound has a number of interesting biological properties, including its broad-spectrum activity on weeds as a contact herbicide. Initial studies highlighted a similarity in response between plants treated with sarmentine and herbicidal soaps such as pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid). However, little was known about the mechanism of action leading to the rapid desiccation of foliage treated by sarmentine. In cucumber cotyledon disc-assays, sarmentine induced rapid light-independent loss of membrane integrity at 100 µM or higher concentration, whereas 3 mM pelargonic acid was required for a similar effect. Sarmentine was between 10 and 30 times more active than pelargonic acid on wild mustard, velvetleaf, redroot pigweed and crabgrass. Additionally, the potency of 30 µM sarmentine was greatly stimulated by light, suggesting that this natural product may also interfere with photosynthetic processes. This was confirmed by observing a complete inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport at that concentration. Sarmentine also acted as an inhibitor of photosystem II (PSII) on isolated thylakoid membranes by competing for the binding site of plastoquinone. This can be attributed in part to structural similarities between herbicides like sarmentine and diuron. While this mechanism of action accounts for the light stimulation of the activity of sarmentine, it does not account for its ability to destabilize membranes in darkness. In this respect, sarmentine has some structural similarity to crotonoyl-CoA, the substrate of enoyl-ACP reductase, a key enzyme in the early steps of fatty acid synthesis. Inhibitors of this enzyme, such as triclosan, cause rapid loss of membrane integrity in the dark. Sarmentine inhibited the activity of enoyl-ACP reductase, with an I50app of 18.3 µM. Therefore, the herbicidal activity of sarmentine appears to be a complex process associated with multiple mechanisms of action.

N2  - Crop water production functions (CWPFs) are often expressed as crop yield vs. consumptive water use or irrigation water applied. CWPFs are helpful for optimizing management of limited water resources, but are site-specific and vary from year to year, especially when yield is expressed as a function of irrigation water applied. Designing limited irrigation practices requires deriving CWPFs from long-term field data to account for variation in precipitation and other climatic variables at a location. However, long-term field experimental data are seldom available. We developed location-specific (soil and climate) long-term averaged CWPFs for corn (Zea mays L.) using the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2) and 20 years (1992-2011) of historical weather data from three counties of Colorado. Mean CWPFs as functions of crop evapotranspiration (ET), ET due to irrigation (ETa-d), irrigation (I), and plant water supply (PWS=effective rainfall + plant available water in the soil profile at planting + applied irrigation) were developed for three soil types at each location. Normalization of the developed CWPF across soils and climates was also developed. A Cobb-Douglas type response function was used to explain the mean yield responses to applied irrigations and extend the CWPFs for drip, sprinkler and surface irrigation methods, respectively, assuming irrigation application efficiencies of 95, 85 and 55%, respectively. The CWPFs developed for corn, and other crops, are being used in an optimizer program for decision support in limited irrigation water management in Colorado.

N2  - We examined the fate of Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella enterica Thompson inoculated on freshly-harvested table grapes under standard cold storage with initial and weekly sulfur dioxide (SO2) fumigation. L. monocytogenes and S. enterica Thompson were much more sensitive to cold temperature than E. coli O157:H7. Furthermore, L. monocytogenes was highly susceptible to SO2. Initial fumigation with 100 or 200 ppm-hr was sufficient to eliminate this pathogen on grapes with low (104 cells/grape) and high (106 cells/grape) inocula, respectively. Initial fumigation with 300 ppm-hr reduced S. enterica Thompson population about 300- and 10-fold on grapes with low and high inocula, respectively. Initial fumigation with 300 ppm-hr reduced E. coli O157:H7 population to less than 10-fold, regardless of inoculum density. When grapes were inoculated with the high inoculum and fumigated on days 0 and 7 with 200 or 300 ppm-hr SO2, S. enterica Thompson and E. coli O157:H7 were completely inactivated between days 8 and 14 of cold storage. Standard cold storage combined with SO2 fumigation was effective in reducing and eliminating all three pathogens on table grapes, however, depending on the dose, two or three fumigations were needed for elimination of S. enterica Thompson and E. coli O157:H7.

N2  - Lipid oxidation of ω-3 fatty acids has posed a serious challenge for incorporating heart-healthy oil products into healthful foods and beverages. In this study, plant and marine based ω-3 oils were dispersed into sodium caseinate dispersions and then mixed with purified heart-healthy oat gum comprised of 97% β-glucan in a homogenizer under room temperature. The stable emulsions underwent shelf life tests to assess their stabilities and oxidative activities. Various preparations of ω-3 oil-in-water emulsions with 10 mL oil/100 mL stabilized with sodium caseinate ranging from 0 to 3 g caseinate/100 g sample and β-glucan ranging from 0 to 0.3 g β-glucan/100 g sample were formed. The physical properties such as creaming index, particle size, and viscosity of the emulsions were measured. The lipid oxidation was measured as lipid hydroperoxide concentration and reduction of lipid oxidation was observed under shelf-life stress tests at 28 °C. The fatty acids of the oils were also measured using gas chromatography. Omega-3 fatty acids compositional changes were observed over the shelf life tests. It was found that caseinate helped reduce the oxidation of the oils in general and there is no significant impact of β-glucan on oxidation. Addition of caseinate and β-glucan in the emulsions slightly increased both particle size and viscosity.

N2  - Objective: To investigate changes in student food selection and consumption in response to the new National School Lunch Program meal patterns during fall 2011. Design: Eight elementary and four intermediate schools in one Houston area school district were matched on free/reduced-price meal eligibility and randomized into control or intervention conditions. Intervention: Both intervention and control school cafeterias served the same menu. The intervention school cafeterias posted the new meal pattern daily; students could select one fruit and two vegetable servings per reimbursable meal. Control school students could only select the previous meal pattern: a total of two fruit and vegetable servings per meal. Main outcome measures: Students were observed during lunch: student sex and foods selected/consumed were recorded. Diet analysis software was used to calculate energy/food groups selected/consumed. Statistical analyses performed: Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel χ2 tests examined differences in the percent of students selecting each meal component by condition, controlling for sex, grade, and school free/reduced-price meal eligibility. Analysis of covariance assessed differences in amount of energy/food groups selected and consumed, and differences in percent of food groups consumed. Results: Observations were conducted for 1,149 elementary and 427 intermediate students. Compared with students in the control schools, significantly more intervention elementary and intermediate school students selected total (P&lt;0.001, P&lt;0.05) and starchy vegetables (P&lt;0.001, P&lt;0.01); more intervention intermediate school students selected fruit (P&lt;0.001), legumes (P&lt;0.05), and protein foods (P&lt;0.01). There were significantly greater amounts of these foods selected and consumed, but no differences in the proportion of the foods consumed by condition. Fewer calories were consumed by elementary and intermediate school intervention students. Conclusions: More intervention students selected fruit and vegetables at lunch and consumed them compared with control condition students. Future studies with larger and more diverse student populations are warranted.

N2  - Feral swine (Sus scrofa) are widely distributed in the United States. In 2011 and 2012, serum samples and tonsils were recovered from 162 and 37 feral swine, respectively, in the US to evaluate exposure to important swine endemic pathogens. Antibodies against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) were found in 2.5% and 25.3% of tested sera, respectively. Positive serological reactions against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae have been detected in 19.7% and 69.7% of animals. More than 15% of animals presented antibodies against these 2 pathogens simultaneously. Most animals were also seropositive for Lawsonia intracellularis. Feral swine can also be involved in transmission of zoonotic agents. Almost 50% of animals possessed antibodies against Salmonella. In addition, 94.4% of animals were carriers of Streptococcus suis in their tonsils. In conclusion, feral swine may be considered as a potential reservoir for different endemic diseases in domestic pigs, as well as for important zoonotic agents.

Methods: Descriptive indicators were constructed using 2 participant engagement measures - education session attendance (EDA) and exercise class attendance (EXA) - separately and combined. Relationships of 6 engagement indicators to health outcomes were tested using generalized linear mixed models. Results: EDA predicted 5 dietary and 1 clinical outcome, whereas EXA predicted one physical activity and one clinical outcome. The combined indicator predicted the same 7 outcomes. Conclusion: Use of single engagement indicators specific to each intervention component is advocated for predicting relevant health outcome.

N2  - Efforts to sharpen the focus of sodium reduction strategies include identification of major food group contributors of sodium intake. Although sandwiches are a staple of the American diet, previous examinations of their contribution to sodium intake captured only a small subset of sandwiches. One day of dietary intake data from 5,762 adults aged 20 years and older in What We Eat in America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010 was analyzed. Sandwiches were defined in a manner that more accurately reflected their frequency of consumption. Two-sided t tests were used to compare percentages of men and women reporting sandwiches; contributions of sandwiches to energy and sodium intakes (amounts in kilocalories and milligrams, respectively, and percent of daily totals) by sex; and total energy, total sodium, and sodium density (mg/1,000 kcal) by sandwich reporting status (reporter/nonreporter). On any given day, 49% of American adults ate sandwiches. A significantly higher percentage of men than women reported sandwiches (54% vs 44%, respectively; P&lt;0.001), and sandwiches accounted for higher percentages of men's total energy and sodium intakes. Compared with individuals who did not report a sandwich on the intake day, sandwich reporters had significantly higher energy and sodium intakes; however, sodium density of the diet did not vary by sandwich reporting status. Although much national attention is appropriately focused on reducing sodium in the food supply, consumer choices still play a vital role. Due to sandwiches' frequent consumption and considerable contributions to sodium intake, substituting lower-sodium for higher-sodium ingredients in sandwiches could significantly influence sodium intakes.

N2  - Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the two important species responsible for most of the Campylobacter infections in humans. Reliable isolation and detection of Campylobacter spp. from food samples are challenging due to the interferences from complex food substances and the fastidious growth requirements of this organism. In this study, a novel biosensor-based detection called BARDOT (BActerial Rapid Detection using Optical scattering Technology) was developed for high-throughput screening of Campylobacter colonies grown on an agar plate without disrupting the intact colonies. Image pattern characterization and principal component analysis (PCA) of 6909 bacterial colonies showed that the light scatter patterns of C. jejuni and C. coli were strikingly different from those of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes. Examination of a mixed culture of these microorganisms revealed 85% (34/40) accuracy in differentiating Campylobacter from the other three major foodborne pathogens based on the similarity to the scatter patterns in an established library. The application of BARDOT in real food has been addressed through the analysis of Campylobacter spiked ground chicken and naturally contaminated fresh chicken pieces. Combined with real-time PCR verification, BARDOT was able to identify Campylobacter isolates from retail chicken. Moreover, applying passive filtration to food samples facilitated the isolation of pure Campylobacter colonies and therefore overcame the interference of the food matrix on BARDOT analysis.

AB  - Dietary fiber supplements are used to manage fecal incontinence (FI), but little is known about the fiber type to recommend or the level of effectiveness of such supplements, which appears related to the fermentability of the fiber. The aim of this single-blind, randomized controlled trial was to compare the effects of three dietary fiber supplements (carboxymethylcellulose [CMC], gum arabic [GA], or psyllium) with differing levels of fermentability to a placebo in community-living individuals incontinent of loose/liquid feces. The primary outcome was FI frequency; secondary outcomes included FI amount and consistency, supplement intolerance, and quality of life (QoL). Possible mechanisms underlying supplement effects were also examined. After a 14-day baseline, 189 subjects consumed a placebo or 16 g total fiber/day of one of the fiber supplements for 32 days. FI frequency significantly decreased after psyllium supplementation versus placebo, in both intent-to-treat and per-protocol mixed model analyses. CMC increased FI frequency. In intent-to-treat analysis, the number of FI episodes/week after supplementation was estimated to be 5.5 for Placebo, 2.5 for Psyllium, 4.3 for GA, and 6.2 for CMC. Only psyllium consumption resulted in a gel in feces. Supplement intolerance was low. QoL scores did not differ among groups. Patients with FI may experience a reduction in FI frequency after psyllium supplementation, and decreased FI frequency has been shown to be an important personal goal of treatment for patients with FI. Formation of a gel in feces appears to be a mechanism by which residual psyllium improved FI. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB  - High-density single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) genotyping arrays are a powerful tool for studying genomic patterns of diversity, inferring ancestral relationships between individuals in populations and studying marker-trait associations in mapping experiments. We developed a genotyping array including about 90 000 gene-associated SNPs and used it to characterize genetic variation in allohexaploid and allotetraploid wheat populations. The array includes a significant fraction of common genome-wide distributed SNPs that are represented in populations of diverse geographical origin. We used density-based spatial clustering algorithms to enable high-throughput genotype calling in complex data sets obtained for polyploid wheat. We show that these model-free clustering algorithms provide accurate genotype calling in the presence of multiple clusters including clusters with low signal intensity resulting from significant sequence divergence at the target SNP site or gene deletions. Assays that detect low-intensity clusters can provide insight into the distribution of presence-absence variation ( PAV) in wheat populations. A total of 46 977 SNPs from the wheat 90K array were genetically mapped using a combination of eight mapping populations. The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.

AB  - In earlier studies, elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) were reported in double-crested cormorant ( Phalacrocorax auritus) eggs and tree swallow ( Tachycineta bicolor) eggs and nestlings collected from lower Green Bay (WI, USA) in 1994 and 1995 and black-crowned night-heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax) eggs collected in 1991. Comparable samples collected in 2010 and 2011 indicated that concentrations of PCBs were 35%, 62%, 70%, and 88% lower than in the early 1990s in tree swallow eggs, tree swallow nestlings, double-crested cormorant eggs, and black-crowned night-heron eggs, respectively; concentrations of DDE were 47%, 43%, 51%, and 80% lower, respectively. These declines are consistent with regional contaminant trends in other species. Concentrations of PCBs were higher in herring gull ( Larus argentatus) than in black-crowned night-heron eggs collected from Green Bay in 2010; PCB concentrations in double-crested cormorant and tree swallow eggs were intermediate. The estimated toxicity of the PCB mixture in eggs of the insectivorous tree swallow was the equal to or greater than toxicity in the 3 piscivorous bird species. A multivariate analysis indicated that the composition percentage of lower-numbered PCB congeners was greater in eggs of the insectivorous tree swallow than in eggs of the 3 piscivorous species nesting in Green Bay. Dioxin and furan concentrations and the toxicity of these chemicals were also higher in tree swallows than these other waterbird species nesting in Green Bay. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:1832-1839.

AB  - Chaining and prescribed fire treatments have been widely applied throughout pinyon-juniper woodlands of the western United States in an effort to reduce tree cover and stimulate understory growth. Our objective was to quantify effects of treatment on woodland recovery rate and structure and the relative dominance of the two major tree species in our Great Basin study area, singleleaf pinyon ( Pinus monophylla Torr. & Frém.) and Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma [Torr.] Little). We resampled plots after a 40-yr interval to evaluate species-specific differences in tree survivorship and establishment from posttreatment age structures. Tree age data were collected in 2008 within four chained sites in eastern Nevada, treated in 1958, 1962, 1968, and 1969 and originally sampled in 1971. The same data were collected at five prescribed burn sites treated in 1975 and originally sampled in 1976. All chained sites had greater juniper survival than pinyon survival immediately following treatment. Chained sites with higher tree survival also had the greatest amount of new tree establishment. During the interval between treatment and the 2008 sampling, approximately four more trees per hectare per year established following chaining than following fire. Postfire tree establishment only occurred for the initial 15 yr and was dominated by juniper. Establishment after chaining was dominated by juniper for the first 15 yr but by pinyon for 15-40 yr following treatment. Results support an earlier successional role for juniper than for pinyon, which is more dependent upon favorable microsites and facilitation from nurse shrubs. Repeated chaining at short intervals, or prescribed burning at infrequent intervals, will likely favor juniper dominance. Chaining at infrequent intervals (> 20-40 yr) will likely result in regained dominance of pinyon. Chaining treatments can be rapidly recolonized by trees and have the potential to create or amplify landscape-level shifts in tree species composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Invasive annual grasses, such as medusahead ( Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski), ventenata ( Ventenata dubia [Leers] Coss.), downy brome ( Bromus tectorum L.), and Japanese brome ( Bromus japonicus Thunb. ex Murr.), are negatively impacting millions of hectares of US rangelands. Amino acid synthesis inhibitor and photosynthesis inhibitor herbicides are sometimes used to control invasive annual grasses. Conversely, growth regulator herbicides are generally considered ineffective against invasive annual grasses. However, in a recent study of pre-emergence herbicide applications, the growth regulator aminopyralid appreciably reduced medusahead cover, primarily by killing emerging medusahead plants. Additionally, in recent studies of postemergence herbicide applications, we found the growth regulators aminopyralid, dicamba, and picloram drastically reduced downy brome and Japanese brome seed production. In these postemergence studies, growth regulators sterilized the plants without otherwise greatly affecting them. The purpose of this greenhouse study was to extend our growth regulator/plant sterility research from downy brome and Japanese brome to medusahead and ventenata. Each tested aminopyralid rate and application growth stage (late seedling, internode elongation, heading) reduced medusahead seed production to nearly zero. Picloram also reduced medusahead seed production, but not quite as consistently as aminopyralid. With ventenata, aminopyralid applied at the seedling stage reduced seed production ∼ 95-99%. Beyond the seedling stage, however, ventenata responses to aminopyralid were highly variable. Picloram had low activity against ventenata seed production. These results contribute to a growing body of evidence suggesting it may be possible to use growth regulators to control invasive annual grasses by depleting their short-lived seedbanks.

AB  - Declining greater sage-grouse populations are causing concern for the future of this species across the western United States. Major ecosystem issues, including exotic annual grass invasion and conifer encroachment, threaten vast acreages of sagebrush rangeland and are primary threats to sage-grouse. We discuss types of problems facing sage-grouse habitat and argue that complex ecosystem problems may be difficult to address under the Endangered Species Act as currently applied. Some problems, such as anthropogenic development, can be effectively regulated to produce a desired outcome. Other problems that are complex and involve disruption of ecosystem processes cannot be effectively regulated and require ongoing commitment to adaptive management. We believe that historical inertia of the regulatory paradigm is sufficient to skew management toward regulatory mechanisms, even though complex ecosystem problems impact large portions of the sage-grouse range. To overcome this situation, we suggest that the regulatory approach embodied in the Endangered Species Act be expanded to include promoting management trajectories needed to address complex ecosystem problems. This process should begin with state-and-transition models as the basis for a conceptual framework that outlines potential plant communities, their value as sage-grouse habitat, and their ecological status. Desired management trajectories are defined by maintenance of an ecologically resilient state that is of value as sage-grouse habitat, or movement from a less desired to a more desired state. Addressing complex ecosystem problems will involve shifting conservation roles. Under the regulatory approach, programmatic scales define regulatory policies, and local scales focus on implementing those policies. With complex ecosystem problems, programmatic scales empower local conservationists to make decisions necessary to adaptively manage problems. Putting ecosystem management on par with traditional regulatory actions honors obligations to provide regulatory protections while maintaining the capacity of the ecosystem to produce habitat and greatly expands the diversity of stakeholders willing to participate in sage-grouse conservation.

AB  - Aim Evidence linking the accumulation of exotic species to the suppression of native diversity is equivocal, often relying on data from studies that have used different methods. Plot-level studies often attribute inverse relationships between native and exotic diversity to competition, but regional abiotic filters, including anthropogenic influences, can produce similar patterns. We seek to test these alternatives using identical scale-dependent sampling protocols in multiple grasslands on two continents. Location Thirty-two grassland sites in North America and Australia. Methods We use multiscale observational data, collected identically in grain and extent at each site, to test the association of local and regional factors with the plot-level richness and abundance of native and exotic plants. Sites captured environmental and anthropogenic gradients including land-use intensity, human population density, light and soil resources, climate and elevation. Site selection occurred independently of exotic diversity, meaning that the numbers of exotic species varied randomly thereby reducing potential biases if only highly invaded sites were chosen. Results Regional factors associated directly or indirectly with human activity had the strongest associations with plot-level diversity. These regional drivers had divergent effects: urban-based economic activity was associated with high exotic : native diversity ratios; climate- and landscape-based indicators of lower human population density were associated with low exotic : native ratios. Negative correlations between plot-level native and exotic diversity, a potential signature of competitive interactions, were not prevalent; this result did not change along gradients of productivity or heterogeneity. Main conclusion We show that plot-level diversity of native and exotic plants are more consistently associated with regional-scale factors relating to urbanization and climate suitability than measures indicative of competition. These findings clarify the long-standing difficulty in resolving drivers of exotic diversity using single-factor mechanisms, suggesting that multiple interacting anthropogenic-based processes best explain the accumulation of exotic diversity in modern landscapes.

AB  - Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst), is a serious disease of wheat occurring in most wheat areas with cool and moist weather conditions during the growing season. The basidiomycete fungus is an obligate biotrophic parasite that is difficult to culture on artificial media. Pst is a macrocyclic, heteroecious fungus that requires both primary (wheat or grasses) and alternate ( Berberis or Mahonia spp.) host plants to complete its life cycle. Urediniospores have the capacity for wind dispersal over long distances, which may, under high inoculum pressure, extend to thousands of kilometres from the initial infection sites. Stripe rust, which is considered to be the current major rust disease affecting winter cereal production across the world, has been studied intensively for over a century. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the Pst-wheat pathosystem, with emphasis on the life cycle, uredinial infection process, population biology of the pathogen, genes for stripe rust resistance in wheat and molecular perspectives of wheat- Pst interactions. Taxonomy The stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis  Westend. ( Ps), is classified in kingdom Fungi, phylum Basidiomycota, class Urediniomycetes, order Uredinales, family Pucciniaceae, genus Puccinia. Ps is separated below the species level by host specialization on various grass genera, comprising up to nine formae speciales, of which P. striiformis f. sp. tritici  Erikss. ( Pst) causes stripe (or yellow) rust on wheat. Host range Uredinial/telial hosts: Pst mainly infects common wheat ( Triticum aestivum  L.), durum wheat ( T. turgidum var. durum  L.), cultivated emmer wheat ( T. dicoccum  Schrank), wild emmer wheat ( T. dicoccoides  Korn) and triticale ( Triticosecale). Pst can infect certain cultivated barleys ( Hordeum vulgare  L.) and rye ( Secale cereale  L.), but generally does not cause severe epidemics. In addition, Pst may infect naturalized and improved pasture grass species, such as Elymus canadensis  L., Leymus secalinus  Hochst, Agropyron spp. Garetn, Hordeum spp. L., Phalaris spp. L and Bromus unioloides  Kunth. Pycnial/aecial (alternative) hosts: Barberry ( Berberis chinensis, B. koreana, B. holstii, B. vulgaris, B. shensiana, B. potaninii, B. dolichobotrys, B. heteropoda, etc.) and Oregon grape ( Mahonia aquifolium). Disease symptoms Stripe rust appears as a mass of yellow to orange urediniospores erupting from pustules arranged in long, narrow stripes on leaves (usually between veins), leaf sheaths, glumes and awns on susceptible plants. Resistant wheat cultivars are characterized by various infection types from no visual symptoms to small hypersensitive flecks to uredinia surrounded by chlorosis or necrosis with restricted urediniospore production. On seedlings, uredinia produced by the infection of a single urediniospore are not confined by leaf veins, but progressively emerge from the infection site in all directions, potentially covering the entire leaf surface. Individual uredinial pustules are oblong, 0.4-0.7 mm in length and 0.1 mm in width. Urediniospores are broadly ellipsoidal to broadly obovoid, (16-)18-30(-32) × (15-)17-27(-28) μm, with a mean of 24.5 × 21.6 μm, yellow to orange in colour, echinulate, and with 6-18 scattered germ pores. Urediniospores can germinate rapidly when free moisture (rain or dew) occurs on leaf surfaces and when the temperatures range is between 7 and 12 °C. At higher temperatures or during the later growing stages of the host, black telia are often produced, which are pulvinate to oblong, 0.2-0.7 mm in length and 0.1 mm in width. The teliospores are predominantly two-celled, dark brown with thick walls, mostly oblong-clavate, (24-)31-56(-65) × (11-)14-25(-29) μm in length and width, and rounded or flattened at the apex.

AB  - Powdery mildew of hop ( Podosphaera macularis) may cause economic loss due to reductions in cone yield and quality. Quantitative estimates of crop damage from powdery mildew remain poorly characterized, especially the effect of late season disease management on crop yield and quality. Field studies in Washington State evaluated cone yield, bittering acid content and quality factors when fungicide applications were ceased at different stages of cone development. The incidence of cones with powdery mildew was linearly correlated with yield of cones, bittering acids and accelerated cone maturation. In cultivar Galena, the cumulative effect of every 1% increase in cones powdery mildew incidence was to reduce alpha-acid yield by 0·33%, which was due to direct effects on cone yield but also indirect effects mediated by dry matter. In the more susceptible cultivar Zeus, alpha-acid yield was increased 20% by controlling powdery mildew through the transition of bloom to early cone development compared to ceasing fungicide applications at bloom: additional applications provided only modest improvements in alpha-acid yield. In both cultivars, the impact of powdery mildew on aroma characteristics and bittering acid content were less substantial than cone yield. The damage caused by powdery mildew to cone colour and alpha-acid yield, as well as the effectiveness of fungicide applications made to manage the disease, appears inseparably linked to dry matter content of cones at harvest. Realising achievable yield potential in these cultivars requires control of the disease through early stages of cone development and harvest before maturity exceeds c. 25% dry matter.

AB  - The International Society of Plant Pathology Committee on the Taxonomy of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria has responsibility to evaluate the names of newly proposed pathovars for adherence to the International Standards for Naming Pathovars of Phytopathogenic Bacteria. Currently, the Comprehensive List of Names and the List of New Names of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria provide the authoritative register of names of bacterial plant pathogens. In this manuscript we up-date the list of names by cataloguing and evaluating names of plant pathogenic bacteria published in 2011 and 2012. We provide those names that have been validly and effectively published in this time frame, the proposed names that we judged to be invalid, and names published earlier that did not make the previous lists.

AB  - Genomic evaluations of dairy cattle in the United States have been available for Brown Swiss, Holsteins, and Jerseys since 2009. As of January 2013, 1,023 Ayrshires had genotypes in the North American database. Evaluation accuracy was assessed using genomic evaluations based on 646 bulls with 2008 traditional evaluations to predict daughter performance of up to 180 bulls in 2012. Mean gain in reliability over parent average for all traits was 8.2 percentage points. The highest gains were for protein yield (16.9 percentage points), milk yield (16.6 percentage points), and stature (16.2 percentage points). Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms were useful for Ayrshire breed determination. Fewer breed-determining SNP were available for Ayrshires than for Holsteins, Jerseys, and Brown Swiss because of the similarity of Ayrshires and Holsteins. A haplotype that affects fertility was identified on chromosome 17 and traces back in the genotyped population to the bull Selwood Betty's Commander (born in 1953). The haplotype carrier frequency for genotyped Ayrshires was 26.1%. Sire conception rate was decreased by 4.3 ± 2.5 percentage points for carriers of the haplotype as determined by 618 matings of carrier sire by carrier maternal grandsire. Genomic evaluations for Ayrshires were officially implemented in the United States in April 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ABSTRACT Post-fire sediment yields can be up to three orders of magnitude greater than sediment yields in unburned forests. Much of the research on post-fire erosion rates has been at small scales (100 m2 or less), and post-fire sediment delivery rates across spatial scales have not been quantified in detail. We developed relationships for post-fire bedload sediment delivery rates for spatial scales up to 117 ha using sediment yield data from six published studies and two recently established study sites. Sediment yields and sediment delivery ratios (SDRs; sediment delivered at the catchment scale divided by the sediment delivered from a plot nested within the catchment) were related to site factors including rainfall characteristics, area, length, and ground cover. Unit-area sediment yields significantly decreased with increasing area in five of the six sites. The annual SDRs ranged from 0.0089 to 1.15 and these were more closely related to the ratio of the plot lengths than the ratio of plot areas. The developed statistical relationships will help quantify post-fire sediment delivery rates across spatial scales in the interior western United States and develop process-based scaling relationships. Published in 2013. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Direct analysis in real time (DART) ionisation coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (MS) was used for screening of aflatoxins from a variety of surfaces and the rapid quantitative analysis of a common form of aflatoxin, AFB1, extracted from corn. Sample preparation procedure and instrument parameter settings were optimised to obtain sensitive and accurate determination of aflatoxin AFB1. 84:16 acetonitrile water extracts of corn were analysed by DART-MS. The lowest calibration level (LCL) for aflatoxin AFB1 was 4 μg kg–1. Quantitative analysis was performed with the use of matrix-matched standards employing the13C-labelled internal standard for AFB1. DART-MS of spiked corn extracts gave linear response in the range 4–1000 μg kg–1. Good recoveries (94–110%) and repeatabilities (RSD = 0.7–6.9%) were obtained at spiking levels of 20 and 100 μg kg–1with the use of an isotope dilution technique. Trueness of data obtained for AFB1 in maize by DART-MS was demonstrated by analysis of corn certified reference materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Four upscaling methods for estimating daytime actual evapotranspiration (ET) from single time-of-day snapshots, as commonly retrieved using remote sensing, were compared. These methods assume self-preservation of the ratio between ET and a given reference variable over the daytime hours. The analysis was performed using eddy covariance data collected at 12 AmeriFlux towers, sampling a fairly wide range in climatic and land cover conditions. The choice of energy budget closure method significantly impacted performance using different scaling methodologies. Therefore, a statistical evaluation approach was adopted to better account for the inherent uncertainty in ET fluxes using eddy covariance technique. Overall, this approach suggested that at-surface solar radiation was the most robust reference variable amongst those tested, due to high accuracy of upscaled fluxes and absence of systematic biases. Top-of-atmosphere irradiance was also tested and proved to be reliable under near clear-sky conditions, but tended to overestimate the observed daytime ET during cloudy days. Use of reference ET as a scaling flux yielded higher bias than the solar radiation method, although resulting errors showed similar lack of seasonal dependence. Finally, the commonly used evaporative fraction method yielded satisfactory results only in summer months, July and August, and tended to underestimate the observations in the fall/winter seasons from November to January at the flux sites studied. In general, the proposed methodology clearly showed the added value of an intercomparison of different upscaling methods under scenarios that account for the uncertainty in eddy covariance flux measurements due to closure errors.

AB  - Mixia osmundae ( Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina) represents a monotypic class containing an unusual fern pathogen with incompletely understood biology. We sequenced and analyzed the genome of M. osmundae, focusing on genes that may provide some insight into its mode of pathogenicity and reproductive biology., Mixia osmundae has the smallest plant pathogenic basidiomycete genome sequenced to date, at 13.6 Mb, with very few repeats, high gene density, and relatively few significant gene family gains., The genome shows that the yeast state of M. osmundae is haploid and the lack of segregation of mating genes suggests that the spores produced on Osmunda spp. fronds are probably asexual. However, our finding of a complete complement of mating and meiosis genes suggests the capacity to undergo sexual reproduction. Analyses of carbohydrate active enzymes suggest that this fungus is a biotroph with the ability to break down several plant cell wall components., Analyses of publicly available sequence data show that other Mixia members may exist on other plant hosts and with a broader distribution than previously known.

AB  - Stillbirth (SB) often results in reduced milk yield, compromised reproductive performance, and decreased dam longevity. Corrective mating can be used as a short-term solution to the problem, but long-term improvement of the population requires the routine calculation of genetic evaluations. Breeding values for SB have been available for Holstein (HO) bulls since 2006, but not for Brown Swiss (BS) or Jersey (JE) bulls. In this study, a multi-breed sire-maternal grandsire threshold model was used to perform genetic evaluations for SB of BS, JE, and HO bulls using more than 14 million purebred and crossbred calving records. Phenotypically, the percentage of SB (%SB) across all lactations were 3.7% in JE, 5.1% in BS, and 6.3% in HO. Direct heritabilities for BS, JE, and HO were 0.008, 0.007, and 0.008, and maternal heritabilities were 0.002, 0.016, and 0.021, respectively. Compared with HO, crossbred calvings from BS and JE bulls bred to HO cows lowered %SB by 1.5 and 1.2%, respectively. In general, %SB increased considerably as calving difficulty increased in all 3 breeds; however, in JE, %SB was constant for dystocia scores of 3 (needed assistance), 4 (considerable force), and 5 (extreme difficulty). Compared with purebred HO calvings, purebred BS and JE calvings had lower phenotypic %SB by up to 5.5 and 7.8%, respectively, and BS x HO and JE x HO crossbred calvings decreased %SB by up to 3.8 and 4.1%, respectively. As expected, SB rates in primiparous cows were higher than those in multiparous cows. Female calves had greater %SB than male calves in all parities for JE and in second-and-later parities for BS. Favorable (decreasing) phenotypic and genetic trends from 1999 to 2009 were observed in all 3 breeds. Heterosis of SB for BS and JE was 0.026 and -0.149, respectively, on the underlying scale, which corresponds to effects on service-sire SB (SSB) and daughter SB (DSB) predicted transmitting ability (PTA) of -0.3 and -0.5% in BS, and -1.5 and -2.7% in JE. Overall, in the current population, BS bulls had the most desirable average SSB PTA of 4.8%, compared with 5.6% for JE and 5.5% for HO. Brown Swiss and JE bulls both had average DSB PTA of 6.5%, lower than that of 7.7% in HO. Average reliabilities of SSB and DSB in 3 breeds ranged from 45 to 50%. The use of a BS-JE-HO multibreed genetic evaluation for SB in the United States is feasible, and the addition of SSB and DSB to the lifetime net merit selection index will help improve the profitability of BS and JE cattle in the United States.

AB  - During pregnancy, glycine and serine become more important because they are the primary suppliers of methyl groups for the synthesis of fetal DNA, and more glycine is required for fetal collagen synthesis as pregnancy progresses. In an earlier study, we reported that glycine flux decreased by 39% from the first to the third trimester in pregnant adolescent girls. As serine is a primary precursor for glycine synthesis, the objective of this study was to measure and compare glycine and serine fluxes and inter-conversions in pregnant adolescent girls and adult women in the first and third trimesters. Measurements were made after an overnight fast by continuous intravenous infusions of ²H2-glycine and 15N-serine in eleven adolescent girls (17·4 (SE 0·1) years of age) and in ten adult women (25·8 (SE 0·5) years of age) for 4 h. Adolescent girls had significantly slower glycine flux and they made less glycine from serine in the third (P<0·05) than in the first trimester. Baby birth length was significantly shorter of adolescent girls (P=0·04) and was significantly associated with third trimester glycine flux. These findings suggest that the pregnant adolescent cannot maintain glycine flux in late pregnancy compared with early pregnancy because of decreased synthesis from serine. It is possible that the inability to maintain glycine synthesis makes her fetus vulnerable to impaired cartilage synthesis, and thus linear growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Distances to common production and marketing supply chain destinations may vary, and this has economic and animal health implications for small-scale food animal operations. Proximity to these destinations can affect the economic viability and marketing decisions of small-scale operations and may represent significant barriers to sustainability. Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey conducted by the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Animal Health Monitoring System in 2011 using a stratified systematic sample of 16,000 small-scale (gross annual farm sales between US$10,000 and 499,999) operations from all 50 states. A total of 7925 food-animal operations were asked about the farthest one-way distance (in miles) to slaughter facilities, destinations where they sold animals or products, and feed sources. Across all small-scale operations, 95% of operations reported the farthest distance animals or products were transported for sale was 241 km (150 miles) or less. For distance to slaughter facilities, 95% of operations reported the farthest distance was 145 km (90 miles) or less. For feed shipped by a supplier, 95% of operations reported the farthest distance was 322 km (200 miles) or less. The 95th percentile for distance increased as farm sales increased, indicating larger operations were more likely to travel long distances. The results of this study are an important benchmark for understanding the economic and animal health implications of long transportation distances for operations that are small and/or focused on direct marketing.

AB  - β-Cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid found in fruits and vegetables such as tangerines, red peppers, and pumpkin, has several functions important for human health. Most evidence from observational, in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggests that β-Cryptoxanthin has relatively high bioavailability from its common food sources, to the extent that some β-Cryptoxanthin-rich foods might be equivalent to b-carotene-rich foods as sources of retinol. b-Cryptoxanthin is an antioxidant in vitro and appears to be associated with decreased risk of some cancers and degenerative diseases. In addition, many in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggest that β-Cryptoxanthin-rich foods may have an anabolic effect on bone and, thus, may help delay osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND Dimethyl disulfide ( DMDS) is a fumigant recently registered in parts of the United States. The fumigant has high pesticidal activity, but does not disperse in soils as well as other fumigants. This study assessed the use of CO2 as a propellant to improve soil dispersion and diffusion by evaluating the partitioning and degradation of DMDS after carbonation in four vineyard soils collected in California. RESULTS The soil with the highest organic carbon content (Clarksburg) had the highest soil-water partition coefficient ( Kd) ( P < 0.001), which increased after carbonation. However, DMDS sorption decreased in the Mecca and Fowler soils. Henry's law constant ( Kh), which measures a compound's potential for partitioning between air and water, doubled from 0.04 to 0.10 with the addition of CO2, indicating less DMDS solubility. Carbonation did not negatively affect DMDS's half-lives in the different soils. CONCLUSION While trials are needed for validation of field-scale impacts, carbonation had mixed effects on soil partitioning and no discernable impact on degradation, but greatly decreased DMDS water solubility. This indicates that carbonation could improve some facets of DMDS diffusion and dispersion, depending on soil properties (carbon content and moisture), without greatly affecting its other behaviors. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Water resources in the lower Mississippi River alluvial valley play a critical role in agricultural productivity due to the widespread use of irrigation during the growing season. However, the unknown specifics of surface–atmosphere feedbacks in the region, along with diminishing groundwater availability and the non-sustainable trend in irrigation draws from the alluvial aquifer, makes it difficult for water resource managers to make sound decisions for future water sustainability. As a result, it is crucial to identify spatial and temporal associations between local rainfall patterns and groundwater levels to determine the influence of precipitation on regional aquifer recharge. Specifically, it is critical to define the recharge zones of the aquifer so that rainfall distribution can be used to assess potential groundwater recovery. This project addresses the issue of defining areas of recharge in the lower Mississippi River alluvial aquifer (LMRAA) through an assessment of historical precipitation variability using high-resolution radar-derived precipitation estimates. A rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) of both groundwater and precipitation data from October through April is used to define locations where aquifer levels show the greatest variability, with a stepwise regression approach used to define areas where rainfall and groundwater levels show the strongest association. Results show that the greatest recharge through direct rainfall is along the Tallahatchie River basin in the northeastern Mississippi Delta, with recharge along the periphery of the LMRAA likely a result of direct water flux from surface hydrologic features.

AB  - Seven ripping treatments designed to improve soil physical conditions for revegetation were compared on a test pad simulating an earthen cover for a waste disposal cell. The field test was part of study of methods to convert compacted-soil waste covers into evapotranspiration covers. The test pad consisted of a compacted layer of fine-textured soil simulating a barrier protection layer overlain by a gravelly sand bedding layer and a cobble armor layer. Treatments included combinations of soil-ripping implements (conventional shank [CS], wing-tipped shank [WTS], and parabolic oscillating shank with wings [POS]), ripping depths, and number of passes. Dimensions, dry density, moisture content, and particle size distribution of disturbance zones were determined in two trenches excavated across rip rows. The goal was to create a root-zone dry density between 1.2 and 1.6 Mg m-3 and a seedbed soil texture ranging from clay loam to sandy loam with low rock content. All treatments created V-shaped disturbance zones as measured on trench faces. Disturbance zone size was most influenced by ripping depth. Winged implements created larger disturbance zones. All treatments lifted fines into the bedding layer, moved gravel and cobble down into the fine-textured protection layer, and thereby disrupted the capillary barrier at the interface. Changes in dry density within disturbance zones were comparable for the CS and WTS treatments but were highly variable among POS treatments. Water content increased in the bedding layer and decreased in the protection layer after ripping. The POS at 1.2-m depth and two passes created the largest zone with a low dry density (1.24 Mg m-3) and the most favorable seedbed soil texture (gravely silt loam). However, ripping also created large soil aggregates and voids in the protection layer that may produce preferential flow paths and reduce water storage capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Blackbirds (Icterinae) in North America, and dickcissels ( Spiza americana Gmelin), eared doves ( Zenaida auriculata Des Murs), and monk parakeets ( Myiopsitta monachus Boddaert) in South America can cause serious economic damage to grain crops. Farmers frequently advocate lethal bird damage abatement measures based on the perceived need to take immediate action to avoid serious economic losses. In comparison, wildlife managers must make informed decisions based on a multitude of factors, including local, state, and national environmental laws, administrative restrictions, logistics, costs, expected outcome, and cultural considerations related to wildlife stewardship. In this paper, we focus on practicality, environmental safety, cost-effectiveness and wildlife stewardship to evaluate efforts to manage avian crop damage using lethal control. In each case where a lethal program was initiated, at least one of these four tenets was violated and there was temporary relief at best. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - From a survey for Phytophthora spp. in containment basins at one nursery each in Alabama and Mississippi, eight species and one taxon were recovered, with Phytophthora gonapodyides dominant in cooler months and P. hydropathica in warmer months, accounting for 39.6 and 46.6% overall recovery, respectively. Among the recoveries were P. macilentosa, P. mississippiae, and P. stricta, three new species recently described from a small lake (labeled M4) that serves as a primary water source for irrigation and to feed another irrigation pond (M5) at the Mississippi nursery. Neither of ponds M4 and M5 directly receives runoff from any production area. The three new species were tested for pathogenicity with Catharanthus roseus, Gardenia jasminoides 'August Beauty,' Hydrangea quercifolia 'Semmes Beauty,' Ilex magland 'Oakland,' Pieris japonica 'Mountain Snow,' and Rhododendron x 'Brandi Michele Raley.' None of the three species infected any of the test plants or became established in peat or pine bark growing media. Based on the result of pathogenicity trials as well as the field observation that none of the nine Phytophthora taxa recovered from irrigation reservoirs have caused episodic disease in the nurseries, they appear to not present a high risk to ornamental plants at those nurseries.

AB  - The fungusAspergillus flavusis known for its ability to produce the toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins in food and feed. While aflatoxins are of most concern,A. flavusis predicted to be capable of producing many more metabolites based on a study of its complete genome sequence. Some of these metabolites could be of great importance in food and feed safety. Here we describe an analytical methodology based on Orbitrap HRMS technology that allows the untargeted determination of fungal metabolites, in support of the study of the function of genes involved in secondary metabolism in fungi. The applied strategy implies the detection and identification of differentially expressed metabolites in extracts of wild-type and mutant fungal strains, using Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) accurate mass data. The suitability of this approach was demonstrated by the confirmation of previously characterised genes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway, namely a polyketide synthase (pksA), an oxidoreductase (ordA) and a methyltransferase (omtA) gene. Subsequently, the proposed methodology was applied for the detection and identification of metabolites produced by a yet uncharacterised gene cluster inA. favus, cluster 23. Comparative Orbitrap HRMS analysis of extracts ofA. flavuswild-type strain and an over-expression mutant for the transcription factor of gene cluster 23 (lepE) demonstrated that this gene cluster is responsible for the production a set of 2-pyridone derivatives, the leporins. Besides the known derivatives leporin B and leporin B precursor that could be identified by automatic de-replication of the accurate mass data, five other compounds belonging to this class of fungal secondary metabolites were detected and identified for the first time, combining MS and multiple-stage MS data.

AB  - This paper reports a new method for the determination of T-2 and HT-2 toxins and their glucosylated derivatives in cereals, and some survey data aimed at obtaining more comprehensive information on the co-occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins and their glucosylated derivatives in naturally contaminated cereal samples. For these purposes, barley samples originating from a Northern Italian area were analysed by LC-HRMS for the presence of T-2, HT-2 and relevant glucosyl derivatives. Quantitative analysis of T-2 and HT-2 glucosides was performed for the first time using a recently made available standard of T-2 glucoside. The glucosyl derivative of HT-2 was detected at levels up to 163 µg kg–1in 17 of the 18 analysed unprocessed barley grains, whereas the monoglucosyl derivative of T-2 toxin was detected in only a few samples and at low µg kg–1levels. The ratio between glucosylated toxins (sum of T-2 and HT-2 glucosides) and native toxins (sum of T-2 and HT-2) ranged from 2% to 283%. Moreover, taking advantage of the possibility of retrospective analysis of full-scan HRMS chromatograms, samples were also screened for the presence of other type-A trichothecenes, namely neosolaniol, diacetoxyscirpenol and their monoglucosyl derivatives, which were detected at trace levels. A subset of nine different samples was subjected to micro-maltation in order to carry out a preliminary investigation on the fate of T-2, HT-2 and relevant glucosides along the malting process. Mycotoxin reduction from cleaned barley to malt was observed at rates ranging from 4% to 87%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The small Indian mongoose ( Herpestes auropunctatus) was introduced to several Caribbean Islands to control rat ( Rattus spp.) damage to sugarcane plantations. Mongooses failed at suppressing rat populations and are now considered pests throughout most of their introduced range. Importantly, mongooses are rabies reservoirs on several Caribbean Islands. In Puerto Rico, mongooses have been implicated in up to 70% of reported animal rabies cases. There is no rabies vaccination program for wildlife in Puerto Rico, and data on rabies in mongooses are limited. We conducted a serosurvey of mongooses in two different ecologic environments in Puerto Rico: El Yunque National Forest and Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge. We collected 119 serum samples from 112 mongooses, 44 (39.3%) of which were positive for rabies virus-neutralizing antibodies. We also collected oral swabs from 147 mongooses, including 88 from which we also collected serum. No oral swabs were positive for rabies virus RNA. Our data support previous research suggesting rabies virus is circulating within the mongoose population on Puerto Rico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aggregated retention, in which patches of trees (aggregates) remain unlogged within larger harvested units, was first applied commercially in 1986. A primary goal was to maintain greater diversity of forest-dependent species through harvest, relative to conventional clearcutting. Despite its global application, the long-term benefits for biodiversity and the comparative responses of disparate taxonomic groups to aggregated retention are largely unknown. A critical knowledge gap relates to the role of ‘forest influence’ – whether and to what extent aggregates affect biodiversity in neighboring harvested areas. We sampled plants, beetles, and spiders/harvestmen in the world’s three oldest aggregated-retention sites (21–26 years old), matched with three recently harvested sites (5–8 years old). For each taxonomic group, we compared species composition between undisturbed aggregates and regenerating forests to assess the ‘lifeboating’ function of aggregates. For each group, we also modeled changes in species composition, and in the numbers of aggregate- and regeneration-affiliated species, with distance from the aggregate edge into the regenerating forest along transects at north-facing edges. For all three taxa, species composition differed between aggregates and regenerating forests in both older and recent sites, confirming the long-term effectiveness of aggregates for lifeboating. The compositional difference between habitats was significantly greater at recent than at older sites for plants, but not for invertebrates. Plants and spiders/harvestmen responded to forest influence, with a marginal response for beetles. Responses for plants and spiders generally manifested as increased numbers of aggregate-affiliated species and decreased numbers of regeneration-affiliated species in regenerating areas closer to edges. Our results indicate that aggregated retention has short- and long-term benefits for biodiversity reflecting both the lifeboating and forest-influence functions of aggregates. However, variation in the responses of plants, beetles and spiders suggests that these benefits cannot be generalized among taxa. We advocate broader application of aggregated retention in forests managed for timber production and encourage managers to incorporate the benefits of forest influence in harvest designs by arranging aggregates to reduce average distances from harvested areas to unlogged habitats.

AB  - In this Focus article, the authors ask a seemingly simple question: Are harmful algal blooms (HABs) becoming the greatest inland water quality threat to public health and aquatic ecosystems? When HAB events require restrictions on fisheries, recreation, and drinking water uses of inland water bodies significant economic consequences result. Unfortunately, the magnitude, frequency, and duration of HABs in inland waters are poorly understood across spatiotemporal scales and differentially engaged among states, tribes, and territories. Harmful algal bloom impacts are not as predictable as those from conventional chemical contaminants, for which water quality assessment and management programs were primarily developed, because interactions among multiple natural and anthropogenic factors determine the likelihood and severity to which a HAB will occur in a specific water body. These forcing factors can also affect toxin production. Beyond site-specific water quality degradation caused directly by HABs, the presence of HAB toxins can negatively influence routine surface water quality monitoring, assessment, and management practices. Harmful algal blooms present significant challenges for achieving water quality protection and restoration goals when these toxins confound interpretation of monitoring results and environmental quality standards implementation efforts for other chemicals and stressors. Whether HABs presently represent the greatest threat to inland water quality is debatable, though in inland waters of developed countries they typically cause more severe acute impacts to environmental quality than conventional chemical contamination events. The authors identify several timely research needs. Environmental toxicology, environmental chemistry, and risk-assessment expertise must interface with ecologists, engineers, and public health practitioners to engage the complexities of HAB assessment and management, to address the forcing factors for HAB formation, and to reduce the threats posed to inland surface water quality.

AB  - In recent years, produce imports to the United States from the southern hemisphere made wintertime consumption common. Focusing on imports of fresh berries - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries - this study asks what is the value to consumers of increasing the availability of berries in winter? The study adapts Hausman's new product introduction methods. The largest benefits were associated with initiating trade. Further increases suggest smaller benefits. Among the four berries, consumer benefits of initiating trade are largest for strawberries at $2.5 billion, over twice current expenditures. Further price reductions might generate further benefits of $520 million annually. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The role of the United States in international milk and dairy product markets has changed significantly in recent years. Although it seemed unexpected, the foundation for that change was laid following the 1994 signing of the Uruguay Round of GATT. The first decade of the 21st century also saw some important changes in the United States and in major dairy exporting areas around the world. Exploratory statistical analysis is undertaken to support assertions. There is at least some evidence that pre- and post-Uruguay round implementation periods are significantly different with respect to trade indicators. These preliminary findings suggest several avenues for further analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Japan is a major importer of cheese-second only to the United States in both volume and value. In 2015, the US accounted for 15% of Japan's total volume of imported cheese. If the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), is ratified by Congress, US and other major cheese exporters stand to benefit from duty free or reduced tariff rates. An import demand model is used in estimating Japan's demand for imported cheese. Estimates from this analysis are then used to project Japanese cheese imports in volume and value as a result of TPP. Findings suggest that the ownprice elasticities for cheese from the EU-28, US, and the ROW are more sensitive to changes in prices than cheese from Australia. Given a 29.8% reduction in the tariff rate on Japan's fresh cheese imports, Japan is projected to import from the US, New Zealand, and Australia a total of 29.2 million kilograms more cheese. Cheese exporting companies can benefit from the research results that indicate potential export market share changes for competing countries, increases in overall Japanese cheese imports, and price sensitivity of individual country exports of cheese.

AB  - Objectives. We estimated the association between the price of healthy and less-healthy food groups and blood sugar among US adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods. We linked 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey health information to food prices contained in the Quarterly Food-at- Home Price Database. We regressed blood sugar levels on food prices from the previous calendar quarter, controlling for market region and a range of other covariates. We also examined whether the association between food prices and blood sugar varies among different income groups. Results. The prices of produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, higher prices for produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose 3 months later. Food prices had a greater association with blood sugar for low-income people than for higher-income people, and in the expected direction. Conclusions. Higher prices of healthy foods were associated with increased blood sugar among people with type 2 diabetes. The association was especially pronounced among low-income people with type 2 diabetes.

AB  - Objectives. This study investigated if the type of drinking water source (treated municipal, untreated municipal, and private well water) modifies the effect of hydrology on childhood (aged < 5 years) gastrointestinal illness. Methods. We conducted a time series study to assess the relationship between hydrologic and weather conditions with childhood gastrointestinal illness from 1991 to 2010. The Central and Northern Wisconsin study area includes households using all 3 types of drinking water systems. Separate time series models were created for each system and half-year period (winter/spring, summer/fall). Results. More precipitation (summer/fall) systematically increased childhood gastrointestinal illness in municipalities accessing untreated water. The relative risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness was 1.4 in weeks with 3 centimeters of precipitation and 2.4 in very wet weeks with 12 centimeters of precipitation. By contrast, gastrointestinal illness in private well and treated municipal areas was not influenced by hydrologic conditions, although warmer winter temperatures slightly increased incidence. Conclusions. Our study suggests that improved drinking water protection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure may improve public health by specifically identifying municipal water systems lacking water treatment that may transmit waterborne disease.

AB  - Sagebrush plays an important role in the ecological functions of sagebrush steppe plant communities and is a necessary component of habitat for a variety of wildlife including greater sage-grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus). At lower elevations, increased fire frequency associated with exotic annual grass invasion has heightened the need for effective sagebrush restoration strategies, but existing techniques have been largely ineffective. Our objective was to evaluate 'pile seeding' (placing mature seed heads on the ground) of Wyoming big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata subsp. wyomingensis) as an alternative to broadcast seeding. We used a randomized block design ( n = 5) replicated in 2 yr at two contrasting ecological sites in southeastern Oregon. Treatments applied to 100 × 1.5 m plots included 1) pile seeding (four mature seed heads · pile−−1 × 10 piles · plot−1), 2) broadcast seeding (0.5 kg pure live seed [PLS] · ha−1), and 3) natural recovery (i.e., nonseeded). Planting occurred in fall 2008 and 2009, and plots were monitored for seedling establishment for three or two growing seasons postplanting. Seedling density was estimated at the plot scale within a 50-cm radius of each seed head pile ('island scale'). In the year following planting, sagebrush seedling density at the plot scale was up to 60-fold higher ( P ≤ 0.05) in pile-seeded plots compared to natural recovery and broadcast plots. Seedling mortality was high (up to 98% reduction in density) for pile-seeded plots between the first and second growing seasons postplanting and differences between broadcast and pile-seeded plots dissipated by 2-3 yr postplanting. Although pile-seeding had higher initial density than broadcast seeding, neither technique had sufficient multiyear survival to suggest restoration efficacy at the plot scale. Seedling density at the island scale suggests that pile-seeding may be useful for establishing sagebrush islands, depending on year conditions. Research is needed to determine strategies capable of increasing long-term sagebrush seedling survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Grazing management effects on soil property dynamics are poorly understood. A study was conducted to assess effects of grazing management and season on soil property dynamics and greenhouse gas flux within semiarid rangeland. Grazing management treatments evaluated in the study included two permanent pastures differing in stocking rate (moderately and heavily grazed pastures) and a fertilized, heavily grazed crested wheatgrass ( Agropyron desertorum [Fisch. ex. Link] Schult.) pasture near Mandan, North Dakota. Over a period of 3 yr, soil properties were measured in the spring, summer, and fall at 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm. Concurrent to soil-based measurements, fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide were measured on 1-wk to 2-wk intervals and related to soil properties via stepwise regression. High stocking rate and fertilizer nitrogen (N) application within the crested wheatgrass pasture contributed to increased soil bulk density and extractable N, and decreased soil pH and microbial biomass compared to permanent pastures. Soil nitrate nitrogen tended to be greatest at peak aboveground biomass, whereas soil ammonium nitrogen was greatest in early spring. Drought conditions during the third year of the study contributed to nearly two-fold increases in extractable N under the crested wheatgrass pasture and the heavily grazed permanent pasture, but not the moderately grazed permanent pasture. Stepwise regression found select soil properties to be modestly related to soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas fluxes, with model r2 ranging from 0.09 to 0.76. Electrical conductivity was included most frequently in stepwise regressions and, accordingly, may serve as a useful screening indicator for greenhouse gas 'hot spots' in grazing land.

AB  - Cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum) has recently invaded marginal low-elevation salt desert habitats across the Great Basin. We tested the hypothesis that cheatgrass seed produced in populations from the more stressful salt desert vs. upland sagebrush habitats should grow differently in salt desert soils compared to adjacent upland sagebrush soil, and vice versa. We evaluated growth, incidence of flowering, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization of plants grown in the soils from which their seeds were collected vs. in the reciprocal soils from the nearest sagebrush or salt desert site in three large basins in northern Nevada. Simultaneously we measured nutrient cations, available nitrogen and phosphorus, percent carbon and nitrogen, texture, and dry-down characteristics in all soils. We found that salt desert soils were generally more nutrient poor and more saline than their upland (sagebrush) counterparts; salt desert soils also generally had a higher percentage of sand compared to their upland counterparts and were consistently drier. The most dramatic plant responses to soil and seed source were 1) lower aboveground biomass of mature plants in most salt desert soils compared to sagebrush soils, or lower biomass in plants grown from salt desert seed; 2) lower root:shoot ratios in plants grown in salt desert soil across two of three basins, irrespective of seed source; 3) a higher percentage of flowering individuals from salt desert seed sources at harvest, irrespective of soil source; 4) depressed AMF colonization of plants in salt desert soils; and 5) strong influence exerted by seed source on AMF, whereby sagebrush-originating plants grown in sagebrush soils had greater AMF colonization compared to salt desert soils but salt desert-originating seedlings had very low AMF colonization rates irrespective of soil source. These results suggest that both population level and soil-based controls are important as this widespread weed moves into marginal habitat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Little is known about how cultivation legacies affect the outcome of rehabilitation seedings in the Great Basin, even though both frequently co-occur on the same lands. Similarly, there is little known about how these legacies affect native species re-establishment into these seedings. We examined these legacy effects by comparing areas historically cultivated and seeded to adjacent areas that were seeded but never cultivated, for density of seeded crested wheatgrass ( Agropyron cristatum [L.] Gaertn.) and native perennial grasses, vegetation cover, and ground cover. At half of the sites, historically cultivated areas had lower crested wheatgrass density ( P < 0.05), and only one site had a higher density of crested wheatgrass ( P < 0.05). Likewise, the native shrub Wyoming big sagebrush ( Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) had lower cover ( P < 0.05) in historically cultivated areas at half the sites. Sandberg bluegrass ( Poa secunda J. Presl.) density was consistently lower in historically cultivated areas relative to those seeded-only. At sites where black greasewood ( Sarcobatus vermiculatus [Hook.] Torr.) and bottlebrush squirreltail ( Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey) were encountered, there was either no difference or a higher density and cover within historically cultivated areas ( P < 0.05). Likewise, cover of exotic forbs, especially halogeton ( Halogeton glomeratus [M. Bieb.] C. A. Mey.), was either not different or higher in historically cultivated areas ( P < 0.05). Bare ground was greater in historically cultivated areas at three sites ( P < 0.05). These results suggest that cultivation legacies can affect seeding success and re-establishment of native vegetation, and therefore should not be overlooked when selecting research sites or planning land treatments that include seeding and or management to achieve greater native species diversity.

AB  - Purple threeawn ( Aristida purpurea Nutt.) is a native perennial bunchgrass with limited forage value that dominates sites with disturbed soils and persists with repeated severe grazing. Fire and nitrogen addition have been used to reduce threeawn and can increase grazing utilization of threeawn by livestock. We evaluated effects of fire, spring urea addition, and phenological stage on purple threeawn forage quality 1 yr postfire on two similar sites in southeastern Montana during the 2011 (site 1) and 2012 (site 2) growing seasons. Fire (no fire, summer fire, fall fire) and rate of nitrogen addition (0, 46, 80 kg N·ha−1) were arranged in a completely randomized, fully factorial design. Samples were collected at five phenological stages throughout each growing season. Forage quality was assessed using nutrient analyses of crude protein (CP), net energy (NEm), and total digestible nutrients; antiquality analyses of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber, and silica; in vitro fermentation for organic matter disappearance (IVOMD) and NDF disappearance; and gas production (asymptotic [maximum] gas production, fractional rate of gas production, lag time, and average fermentation rate). In vegetative stages, summer and fall fire increased CP from 6.2% to 12.1% and 13.0%, respectively, and NDF decreased from 72.1% to 69.4% and 68.2%, respectively. Summer and fall fire reduce silica content from 7.0% to 4.1% and 4.3%, respectively. Purple threeawn IVOMD increased by 14.0% and 13.0% following summer and fall fire, respectively, compared to nonburned plots. Nitrogen addition increased CP from 7.5% to 8.0% and 8.4%, respectively, with 46% and 80 kg N·ha−1, respectively. In vitro fermentation and gas production variables did not change due to nitrogen addition. Fire generally improved purple threeawn forage quality to a greater extent than did nitrogen addition. Results indicate fire can potentially improve the suitability of purple threeawn as a forage species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many plants accumulate hydroxycinnamoyl esters to protect against abiotic and biotic stresses. Caffeoyl esters in particular can be substrates for endogenous polyphenol oxidases (PPOs). Recently, we showed that perennial peanut ( Arachis glabrata Benth.) leaves contain PPO and identified one PPO substrate, caftaric acid ( trans-caffeoyl-tartaric acid). Additional compounds were believed to be cis- and trans- p-coumaroyl tartaric acid and cis- and trans-feruloyl-tartaric acid, but lack of standards prevented definitive identifications. Here we characterize enzymatic activities in peanut leaves to understand how caftaric acid and related hydroxycinnamoyl esters are made in this species. We show that peanut leaves contain a hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tartaric acid hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HTT) activity capable of transferring p-coumaroyl, caffeoyl, and feruloyl moieties from CoA to tartaric acid (specific activities of 11 ± 2.8, 8 ± 1.8, 4 ± 0.8 pkat mg crude protein, respectively). The HTT activity was used to make cis- and trans- p-coumaroyl- and -feruloyl-tartaric acid in vitro. These products allowed definitive identification of the corresponding cis- and trans-hydroxycinnamoyl esters extracted from leaves. We tentatively identified sinapoyl-tartaric acid as another major phenolic compound in peanut leaves that likely participates in secondary reactions with PPO-generated quinones. These results suggest hydroxycinnamoyl-tartaric acid esters are made by an acyltransferase, possibly a BAHD family member, in perennial peanut. Identification of a gene encoding HTT and further characterization of the enzyme will aid in identifying determinants of donor and acceptor substrate specificity for this important class of biosynthetic enzymes. An HTT gene could also provide a means by genetic engineering for producing caffeoyl- and other hydroxycinnamoyl-tartaric acid esters in forage crops that lack them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Formation of galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols has been shown to be induced by leaf homogenization, mechanical wounding, avirulent bacterial infection and thawing after snap-freezing. Here, lipidomic analysis using mass spectrometry showed that galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols, formed in wheat ( Triticum aestivum) and tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum) leaves upon wounding, have acyl-galactose profiles that differ from those of wounded Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating that different plant species accumulate different acyl-galactose components in response to the same stress. Additionally, the composition of the acyl-galactose component of Arabidopsis acMGDG (galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerol) depends on the stress treatment. After sub-lethal freezing treatment, acMGDG contained mainly non-oxidized fatty acids esterified to galactose, whereas mostly oxidized fatty acids accumulated on galactose after wounding or bacterial infection. Compositional data are consistent with acMGDG being formed in vivo by transacylation with fatty acids from digalactosyldiacylglycerols. Oxophytodienoic acid, an oxidized fatty acid, was more concentrated on the galactosyl ring of acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols than in galactolipids in general. Also, oxidized fatty acid-containing acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols increased cumulatively when wounded Arabidopsis leaves were wounded again. These findings suggest that, in Arabidopsis, the pool of galactose-acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols may serve to sequester oxidized fatty acids during stress responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The presence of sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) in rangelands has declined due to the invasion of annual grasses such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and the feedback between these flammable grasses and wildfire frequency. Monitoring the change and distribution of suitable habitat and fuel loads is an important aspect of sagebrush management, particularly under future climate conditions. Assessments of sagebrush biomass are used to monitor habitat for critical wildlife species, determine fire risk, and quantify carbon storage. Field techniques such as destructive and point-intercept sampling have been used to determine sagebrush biomass, but both of these techniques can be expensive and time consuming to implement. Light detection and ranging techniques, including airborne laser scanning and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) have potential for rapidly assessing biomass in sagebrush steppe. This study used TLS to estimate biomass of 29 sagebrush plants in Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho. Biomass was estimated using TLS-derived volume, then compared with destructive samples to assess the estimation accuracy. This accuracy level was then contrasted with the estimates obtained using point-intercept sampling of the same plants. The TLS approach (R2¼0.90) was slightly better for predicting total biomass than point-intercept sampling (R2¼0.85). Prediction of green biomass, or production, was more accurate using TLS-derived volume (R2¼0.86) than pointintercept sampling (R2¼0.65). This study explores a promising new method to repeatedly monitor sagebrush biomass across extensive landscapes. Future work should focus on making this method independent of sensor type, scan distance, scan number, and study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The USDA's Nutrition Evidence Library (NEL) specializes in conducting food- and nutrition-related systematic reviews that are used to inform federal government decision making. To ensure the utility of NEL systematic reviews, the most relevant topics must be addressed, questions must be clearly focused and appropriate in scope, and review frameworks must reflect the state of the science. Identifying the optimal topics and questions requires input from a variety of stakeholders, including scientists with technical expertise, as well as government policy and program leaders. The objective of this article is to describe the rationale and NEL methodology for identifying topics and developing systematic review questions implemented as part of the "Evaluating the evidence base to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to 24 months of age in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans--the B-24 Project." This is the first phase of a larger project designed to develop dietary guidance for the birth to 24-mo population in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are the cornerstone of US government efforts to promote health and prevent disease through diet and nutrition. The DGA currently provides guidelines for ages ≥2 y. In an effort to determine the strength of the evidence to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to age 24 mo, the partner agencies led by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and the USDA Center for Nutrition Program and Policy initiated the project entitled "Evaluating the evidence base to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to 24 months of age in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans--the B-24 Project." This project represents the first step in the process of applying systematic reviews to the process of deciding whether the evidence is sufficient to include this age group in future editions of the DGA. This supplement includes the B-24 Executive Summary, which describes the B-24 Project and the deliberations of the 4 working groups during the process of developing priority topics for the systematic review, and a research agenda to address the critical gaps. Also included in this supplement issue is an article on the Nutrition Evidence Library methodology for developing systematic review questions and articles from the invited content presenters at the B-24 Prime meeting.

AB  - Our objective was to assess the pasture productivity and forage characteristics of 2 fall-grown oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, specifically for extending the grazing season and reducing reliance on harvested forages by replacement dairy heifers. A total of 160 gravid Holstein heifers (80 heifers/yr) were stratified by weight, and assigned to 1 of 10 identical research pens (8 heifers/pen). Initial body weights were 480 ± 43.5 kg in 2011 and 509 ± 39.4 kg in 2012. During both years of the trial, four 1.0-ha pasture replicates were seeded in August with Ogle oat (Schumitsch Seed Inc., Antigo, WI), and 4 separate, but similarly configured, pasture replicates were seeded with Forage Plus oat (Kratz Farms, Slinger, WI). Heifer groups were maintained as units, assigned to specific pastures, and then allowed to graze fall-oat pastures for 6 h daily before returning to the barn, where they were offered a forage-based basal total mixed ration. Two heifer groups were retained in confinement (without grazing) as controls and offered the identical total mixed ration as pasture groups. During 2011, available forage mass increased with strong linear and quadratic effects for both cultivars, peaking at almost 9 Mg/ha on October 31. In contrast, forage mass was not affected by evaluation date in 2012, remaining ≤2,639 kg/ha across all dates because of droughty climatic conditions. During 2012, Ogle exhibited greater forage mass than Forage Plus across all sampling dates (2,678 vs. 1,856 kg/ha), largely because of its more rapid maturation rate and greater canopy height. Estimates of energy density for oat forage ranged from 59.6 to 69.1% during 2011, and ranged narrowly from 68.4 to 70.4% during 2012. For 2011, responses for both cultivars had strong quadratic character, in which the most energy-dense forages occurred in mid November, largely due to accumulation of water-soluble carbohydrates that reached maximum concentrations of 18.2 and 15.1% for Forage Plus and Ogle, respectively. Across the 2-yr trial, average daily gain for grazing heifer groups tended to be greater than heifers remaining in confinement (0.85 vs. 0.74 kg/d), but both management strategies produced weight gains within reasonable proximity to normal targets for heifers in this weight range. Fall-grown oat should be managed as stockpiled forage for deferred grazing, and good utilization of fall-oat forage can be accomplished by a one-time removal of standing forage, facilitated by a single lead wire advanced daily to prevent waste.

AB  - Subclinical hypocalcemia may affect half of all multiparous cows, and clinical hypocalcemia or milk fever affects approximately 5% of dairy cows each year. This disorder of calcium homeostasis can be induced by several dietary factors. Recent studies implicate high dietary potassium and high dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) with increased risk of milk fever. The hypothesis tested in this study was that high-DCAD diets fed to prepartum cows reduce tissue sensitivity to parathyroid hormone (PTH), inducing a pseudohypoparathyroid state that diminishes calcium homeostatic responses. Multiparous Jersey cows were fed low- or high-DCAD diets in late gestation, creating a compensated metabolic alkalosis in the high-DCAD cows and a compensated metabolic acidosis in the low-DCAD cows. They then received synthetic PTH injections at 3-h intervals for 48 h. Parathyroid hormone is expected to cause an increase in plasma calcium by increasing renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and increasing bone calcium resorption. Plasma calcium concentration increased at a significantly lower rate in cows fed the high-DCAD diet. Cows fed the high-DCAD diet also produced significantly less 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in response to the PTH injections than cows fed the low-DCAD diet. Serum concentrations of the bone resorption marker carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen were numerically lower in cows fed the highDCAD diet but this difference was not statistically significant. These data provide direct evidence that high-DCAD diets reduce tissue sensitivity to PTH. The metabolic alkalosis associated with high-DCAD diets likely induces a state of pseudohypoparathyroidism in some dairy cows at the onset of lactation, resulting in hypocalcemia and milk fever.

AB  - Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) Mildew resistance locus a ( Mla) confers allele-specific interactions with natural variants of the ascomycete fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei ( Bgh), the causal agent of powdery mildew disease. Significant reprogramming of Mla-mediated gene expression occurs upon infection by this obligate biotrophic pathogen., We utilized a proteomics-based approach, combined with barley mla, required for Mla12 resistance1 ( rar1) , and restoration of Mla resistance1 ( rom1) mutants, to identify components of Mla-directed signaling., Loss-of-function mutations in Mla and Rar1 both resulted in the reduced accumulation of chloroplast copper/zinc superoxide dismutase 1 ( Hv SOD1), whereas loss of function in Rom1 re-established Hv SOD1 levels. In addition, both Mla and Rom1 negatively regulated hvu-microRNA398 (hvu-miR398), and up-regulation of mi R398 was coupled to reduced Hv SOD1 expression. Barley stripe mosaic virus ( BSMV)-mediated over-expression of both barley and Arabidopsis mi R398 repressed accumulation of Hv SOD1, and BSMV-induced gene silencing of Hv Sod1 impeded Mla-triggered H2 O2 and hypersensitive reaction ( HR) at barley- Bgh interaction sites., These data indicate that Mla- and Rom1-regulated hvu-mi R398 represses Hv SOD1 accumulation, influencing effector-induced HR in response to the powdery mildew fungus.

AB  - The most diverse wild tomato species Solanum peruvianum sensu lato (s.l.) has been reclassified into four separate species: Solanum peruvianum sensu stricto (s.s.), Solanum corneliomuelleri, Solanum huaylasense, and Solanum arcanum. However, reproductive barriers among the species are incomplete and this can lead to discrepancies regarding genetic identity of germplasm. We used genotyping by sequencing (GBS) of S. peruvianum s.l., Solanum neorickii, and Solanum chmielewskii to develop tens of thousands of mapped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to analyze genetic relationships within and among species. The data set was condensed to 14 043 SNPs with no missing data across 46 sampled plants. Origins of accessions were mapped using geographical information systems (GIS). Isolation by distance, pairwise genetic distances, and number of clusters were estimated using population genetics approaches. Isolation by distance was strongly supported, especially between interspecific pairs. Eriopersicon ( S. peruvianum s.s., S. corneliomuelleri, S. huaylasense) and Arcanum ( S. arcanum, S. neorickii, S. chmielewskii) species groups were genetically distinct, except for S. huaylasense which showed 50% membership proportions in each group. Solanum peruvianum and S. corneliomuelleri were not significantly differentiated from each other. Many thousands of SNP markers were identified that could potentially be used to distinguish pairs of species, including S. peruvianum versus S. corneliomuelleri, if they are verified on larger numbers of samples. Diagnostic markers will be valuable for delimiting morphologically similar and interfertile species in germplasm management. Approximately 12% of the SNPs rejected a genome-wide test of selective neutrality based on differentiation among species of S. peruvianum s.l. These are candidates for more comprehensive studies of microevolutionary processes within this species complex. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cependant, les barrières reproductives entre ces espèces sont incomplètes et cela peut entraîner des discordances dans l'identification des ressources génétiques. Les auteurs ont employé le génotypage par séquençage (GBS) chez le S. peruvianum s.l., le Solanum neorickii et le Solanum chmielewskii pour identifier des dizaines de milliers de marqueurs SNP (polymorphisme mononucléotidique) et permettre l'analyse des relations génétiques au sein de ces espèces. Le jeu de données a été réduit à 14 043 SNP sans données manquantes parmi les 46 plantes analysées. Les origines des accessions ont été déterminées au moyen de systèmes d'information géographique (GIS). L'isolement géographique, la distance génétique et le nombre de groupes ont été estimés en utilisant des approches de la génétique des populations. L'isolement géographique a été fortement supporté, particulièrement entre les paires d'espèces. Les groupes d'espèces Eriopersicon ( S. peruvianum s.s., S. corneliomuelleri et S. huaylasense) et Arcanum ( S. arcanum, S. neorickii et S. chmielewski) étaient génétiquement distincts à l'exception du S. huaylasense qui présentait une appartenance égale aux deux groupes. Les espèces S. peruvianum et S. corneliomuelleri n'étaient pas significativement différentiés l'un de l'autre. Plusieurs milliers de marqueurs SNP ont été identifiés qui pourraient potentiellement distinguer des paires d'espèces, y compris S. peruvianum et S. corneliomuelleri, s'ils étaient validés sur un grand nombre d'échantillons. Des marqueurs diagnostiques seraient utiles en gestion des ressources génétiques pour circonscrire des espèces qui sont interfertiles et semblables sur le plan morphologique. À l'échelle du génome entier, environ 12 % des marqueurs SNP ont été rejetés sur la base d'un test de neutralité basé sur la différentiation au sein des espèces de S. peruvianum s.l. Ceux-ci pourront servir pour des études plus détaillées des processus de microévolution au sein de ce complexe d'espèces. [Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Purpose: Biochars are a by-product of the biofuel processing of lignocellulosic and manure feedstocks. Because biochars contain an assemblage of organic and inorganic compounds, they can be used as an amendment for C sequestration and soil quality improvement. However, not all biochars are viable soil amendments; this is because their physical and chemical properties vary due to feedstock elemental composition, biofuel processing, and particle size differences. Biochar could deliver a more effective service as a soil amendment if its chemistry was designed ex ante with characteristics that target specific soil quality issues. In this study, we demonstrate how biochars can be designed with relevant properties as successful soil amendments through feedstock selection, pyrolysis conditions, and particle size choices. Materials and methods: Biochars were produced by pyrolysis of parent lignocellulosic feedstock sources-peanut hull (PH; Archis hypogaea), pecan shell (PS; Carya illinoensis), switchgrass (SG; Panicum virgatum), pine chips (PC; Pinus taeda), hardwood wastes (wood), and poultry litter manure (PL; Gallus domesticus), as well as blends of these feedstocks at temperatures ranging from 250 to 700 °C. Additionally, blended feedstocks were made into pellets (>2 mm) prior to pyrolysis at 350 °C. Dust-sized (<0.42 mm) biochar was obtained through grinding of pelletized biochars. After chemical characterization, the biochars were evaluated as fertility amendments in a Norfolk soil (fine-loamy, kaolinitic, thermic, Typic Kandiudult) during two different pot incubation experiments. Results and discussion: PL biochars were alkaline and enriched in N and P, whereas biochar from lignocellulosic feedstocks exhibited mixed pH and nutrient contents. Blending PL with PC resulted in lower biochar pH values and nutrient contents. In pot experiment 1, most biochars significantly ( P < 0.05) raised soil pH, soil organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and Mehlich 1 extractable P and K. PL biochar added at 20 g kg resulted in excessive soil P concentrations (393 to 714 mg kg) and leachate enriched with dissolved phosphorus (DP, 22 to 70 mg L). In pot experiment 2, blended and pelletized PL with PC feedstock reduced soil pH and extractable soil P and K concentrations compared to pot experiment 1. Water leachate DP concentrations were significantly ( P < 0.05) reduced by pelletized biochar blends. Conclusions: Short-term laboratory pot experiments revealed that biochars can have different impacts at modifying soil quality characteristics. Keying on these results allowed for creating designer biochars to address specific soil quality limitations. In the process of manufacturing designer biochars, first, it is important to know what soil quality characteristics are in need of change. Second, choices between feedstocks, blends of these feedstocks, and their accompanying particle sizes can be made prior to pyrolysis to create biochars tailored for addressing specific soil quality improvements. Utilization of these principles should allow for effective service of the designed biochar as a soil amendment while minimizing unwanted ex facto soil quality changes and environmental effects.

AB  - Cryptosporidium ubiquitum is an emerging zoonotic pathogen. In the past, it was not possible to identify an association between cases of human and animal infection. We conducted a genomic survey of the species, developed a subtyping tool targeting the 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene, and identified 6 subtype families (XIIa-XIIf) of C. ubiquitum. Host adaptation was apparent at the gp60 locus; subtype XIIa was found in ruminants worldwide, subtype families XIIb-XIId were found in rodents in the United States, and XIIe and XIIf were found in rodents in the Slovak Republic. Humans in the United States were infected with isolates of subtypes XIIb-XIId, whereas those in other areas were infected primarily with subtype XIIa isolates. In addition, subtype families XIIb and XIId were detected in drinking source water in the United States. Contact with C. ubiquitum-infected sheep and drinking water contaminated by infected wildlife could be sources of human infections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mechanisms whereby metal cations are toxic to plant roots remain largely unknown. Aluminum, for example, has been recognized as rhizotoxic for approximately 100 yr, but there is no consensus on its mode of action. The authors contend that the primary mechanism of rhizotoxicity of many metal cations is nonspecific and that the magnitude of toxic effects is positively related to the strength with which they bind to hard ligands, especially carboxylate ligands of the cell-wall pectic matrix. Specifically, the authors propose that metal cations have a common toxic mechanism through inhibiting the controlled relaxation of the cell wall as required for elongation. Metal cations such as Al3+ and Hg2+, which bind strongly to hard ligands, are toxic at relatively low concentrations because they bind strongly to the walls of cells in the rhizodermis and outer cortex of the root elongation zone with little movement into the inner tissues. In contrast, metal cations such as Ca2+, Na+, Mn2+, and Zn2+, which bind weakly to hard ligands, bind only weakly to the cell wall and move farther into the root cylinder. Only at high concentrations is their weak binding sufficient to inhibit the relaxation of the cell wall. Finally, different mechanisms would explain why certain metal cations (for example, Tl+, Ag+, Cs+, and Cu2+) are sometimes more toxic than expected through binding to hard ligands. The data presented in the present study demonstrate the importance of strength of binding to hard ligands in influencing a range of important physiological processes within roots through nonspecific mechanisms.

AB  - Year-to-year dynamics in weather affect both the timing of application and the potential hydrologic transport of pesticides. Further, the most commonly used pesticides dissipate in the environment during the growing season. Interactions among these factors - hydrology, timing of application and dissipation kinetics - hinder the detection of temporal trends in transport. It is increasingly important to be able to discern such trends, to judge effectiveness of management practices or to determine whether observed changes were caused by management or weather. In previous work, a cumulative vulnerability index was developed to account for these three factors. It explained 63% of annual variation in atrazine load in the Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed (GCEW). The objectives of the current work were (i) to generalize the cumulative vulnerability index to explicitly account for variation in watershed size, area treated with atrazine and average application rate; (ii) to test the overall performance on watersheds showing such variation; and (3) to test whether the generalized index properly accounted for the additional input parameters. The generalized index was tested using data from GCEW (73.7 km2) and seven additional watersheds in the northeast Missouri claypan region that varied in size from 212 to 1180 km2 and from 4% to 23% of watershed area planted to corn or sorghum. Across 32 site-years, the generalized index explained 84% of variation in annual atrazine load. Further, tests of residuals showed no dependence on either watershed area or fraction of area planted to corn and sorghum, indicating that these parameters were properly integrated into the index. The performance of the index supports the conclusion that data obtained from GCEW is representative of the Mark Twain Lake Basin and likely the entire Central Claypan Major Land Resource Area.

AB  - Historically, tree biomass at large scales has been estimated by applying dimensional analysis techniques and field measurements such as diameter at breast height (dbh) in allometric regression equations. Equations often have been developed using differing methods and applied only to certain species or isolated areas. We previously had compiled and combined (in meta-analysis) available diameter-based allometric regression equations for estimating total aboveground and component dry-weight biomass for US trees. This had resulted in a set of 10 consistent, national-scale aboveground biomass regression equations for US species, as well as equations for predicting biomass of tree components as proportions of total aboveground biomass. In this update of our published equation database and refinement of our model, we developed equations based on allometric scaling theory, using taxonomic groupings and wood specific gravity as surrogates for scaling parameters that we could not estimate. The new approach resulted in 35 theoretically based generalized equations (13 conifer, 18 hardwood, 4 woodland), compared with the previous empirically grouped 10. For trees from USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) plots, with forest types grouped into conifers and hardwoods, previous and updated equations produced nearly identical estimates that predicted ∼20 per cent higher biomass than FIA estimates. Differences were observed between previous and updated equation estimates when comparisons were made using individual FIA forest types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Measurement of particle-size distribution (PSD) of soil with large-sized particles (e.g., 25.4 mm diameter) requires a large sample and numerous particle-size analyses (PSAs). A new method is needed that would reduce time, effort, and cost for PSAs of the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles. We evaluated a nested method for sampling and PSA by comparing it with the methods that follow the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standard T88-00 and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D422-63. Using 33 forest road aggregate samples from the Clearwater National Forest in northern Idaho, the nested method required much less laboratory time and effort and resulted in similar PSA values, except for the 0.149 mm (No. 100) sieve, where the smallest particle-size fraction (PSF) values (1.30% and 1.39%) were observed. The nested method shows great potential for determining PSDs of the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles and should be tested on other forest soils and road aggregates. The nested sampling and analysis method allows for the same number of samples to be collected but requires less laboratory time, making it more efficient and economical for testing the soil and aggregate material with large-sized particles such as forest road aggregate.

AB  - Il faut un vaste échantillonnage et plusieurs analyses granulométriques pour mesurer la distribution granulométrique d'un sol qui contient de grosses particules (p. ex., diamètre de 25,4 mm). Une nouvelle méthode est nécessaire pour réduire le temps, les efforts et les ressources financières nécessaires pour faire l'analyse granulométrique des sols et matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules. Nous avons évalué une méthode imbriquée pour l'échantillonnage et l'analyse granulométrique en la comparant aux méthodes prescrites par la norme T88-00 de l'American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) et la norme D422-63 de l'American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Avec 33 échantillons de granulat provenant de chemins forestiers dans la forêt nationale de Clearwater dans le nord de l'Idaho, la méthode imbriquée a nécessité beaucoup moins d'efforts et de temps de laboratoire et les valeurs de l'analyse granulométrique étaient similaires à l'exception de la passoire de 0,149 mm (N° 100) où les plus faibles valeurs (1,30 et 1,39 %) de classe granulométrique ont été observées. La méthode imbriquée offre un fort potentiel pour déterminer la distribution granulométrique des sols et matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules et elle devrait être testée pour d'autres sols forestiers et granulats utilisés pour les chemins forestiers. La méthode imbriquée d'échantillonnage et d'analyse permet de collecter la même quantité d'échantillons mais exige moins de temps de laboratoire, ce qui en fait une méthode plus efficace et plus économique pour tester les sols et les matériaux granulaires qui contiennent de grosses particules tels que le granulat utilisé pour les chemins forestiers.

AB  - The operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) approach was applied on 14 Landsat 5 thermal infrared images for mapping daily actual evapotranspiration (ETa) fluxes during the spring and summer seasons (March-October) in 2006 and 2007. Data from four large lysimeters, managed by the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Research Laboratory were used for evaluating the SSEBop estimated ETa. Lysimeter fields are arranged in a 2x2 block pattern with two fields each managed under irrigated and dryland cropping systems. The modeled and observed daily ETa values were grouped as "irrigated" and "dryland" at four different aggregation periods (1-day, 2-day, 3 day and "seasonal") for evaluation. There was a strong linear relationship between observed and modeled ETa with R2 values ranging from 0.87 to 0.97. The root mean square error (RMSE), as percent of their respective mean values, were reduced progressively with 28, 24, 16 and 12% at 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, and seasonal aggregation periods, respectively. With a further correction of the underestimation bias (-11 %), the seasonal RMSE reduced from 12 to 6 %. The random error contribution to the total error was reduced from 86 to 20% while the bias' contribution increased from 14 to 80% when aggregated from daily to seasonal scale, respectively. This study shows the reliable performance of the SSEBop approach on the Landsat data stream with a transferable approach for use with the recently launched LDCM (Landsat Data Continuity Mission) Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS) data. Thus, SSEBop can produce quick, reliable and useful ET estimations at various time scales with higher seasonal accuracy for use in regional water management decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Spruce beetle outbreaks have been reported in the Rocky Mountains of western North America since the late 1800s. In their classic paper, Spruce Beetle in the Rockies, Schmid and Frye reviewed the literature that emerged from the extensive outbreaks in Colorado in the 1940s. A new wave of outbreaks has affected Rocky Mountain subalpine spruce-fir forests beginning in the mid-1980s and continuing to the present. These outbreaks have spurred another surge of basic and applied research in the biology, ecology and management of spruce and spruce beetle populations. This paper is a review of literature on spruce beetle focusing on work published since the late 1970s and is intended as an addendum to Spruce Beetle in the Rockies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The relationship between biological diversity and ecological stability has fascinated ecologists for decades. Determining the generality of this relationship, and discovering the mechanisms that underlie it, are vitally important for ecosystem management. Here, we investigate how species richness affects the temporal stability of biomass production by reanalyzing 27 recent biodiversity experiments conducted with primary producers. We find that, in grasslands, increasing species richness stabilizes whole-community biomass but destabilizes the dynamics of constituent populations. Community biomass is stabilized because species richness impacts mean biomass more strongly than its variance. In algal communities, species richness has a minimal effect on community stability because richness affects the mean and variance of biomass nearly equally. Using a new measure of synchrony among species, we find that for both grasslands and algae, temporal correlations in species biomass are lower when species are grown together in polyculture than when grown alone in monoculture. These results suggest that interspecific interactions tend to stabilize community biomass in diverse communities. Contrary to prevailing theory, we found no evidence that species' responses to environmental variation in monoculture predicted the strength of diversity's stabilizing effect. Together, these results deepen our understanding of when and why increasing species richness stabilizes community biomass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - A central challenge for grid operators is matching electricity supply to demand, especially when the electricity supply is composed in part of intermittent resources. Several system options could help balance electricity supply and demand given different mixes of intermittent, baseload and load-following generation capacity; of these, electricity storage is especially interesting. If electricity storage could be deployed widely, grids of any size could sustain a wide range of profiles of intermittent and baseload power. Currently, most installed electricity storage worldwide is pumped hydro. Flywheels, compressed air and batteries represent interesting technologies that could provide grid-scale storage, especially if technology costs come down. A significant amount of storage R&D worldwide is appropriately focused on lowering these costs, but more is needed. Ultimately, storage will only achieve high levels of penetration if it can compete for service provision in electricity markets, and policy adjustments are needed in many countries to ensure this is the case.

N2  - This paper provides an assessment of the economic challenges faced by both nuclear power and "new" renewable electricity technologies. The assessment reflects the need to incorporate new renewables into power grids and issues faced in dispatching power and their effect on traditional electricity technologies as well as the need for transmission extension and/or grid reinforcement. Wider introduction of smart grids and the likely demise of nuclear in some OECD countries are bound to enhance the future prospects for new renewables. However, their immediate future expansion will depend on continued subsidies, which are becoming difficult to sustain in present economic circumstances. Development of large energy storage facilities and carbon pricing could significantly enhance future renewable energy prospects. Correspondingly, expanding renewable energy, in spite of their popularity with some governments and sections of the public, is likely to face challenges which will slow their present rapid progress. Nuclear is now shied away from in many industrialized countries and having mixed prospects in developing economies. In many instances, it suffers from high initial costs, long lead times and often excessive construction delays. Nuclear power also faces challenging risks--investment as well as regulatory. In contrast to renewables, its share of global energy consumption is declining.

N2  - Historically, governments have adopted legalized, integrated, and global rules to govern oligopolistic industries, such as shipping, chemicals, and industrial production. By contrast, they have adopted nonbinding and unintegrated rules and institutions to govern competitive industries, such as energy, agriculture, and mining, at the national or subnational scale. Considering that competitive producers face greater barriers to political collective action, what explains the form of global governance across these sectors? This article demonstrates that oligopolistic producers are more intensively and extensively regulated than competitive markets because producers in oligopolistic industries can more cost-effectively alter markets to meet environmental goals. Therefore, despite their political influence, oligopolies are regularly called upon to initiate and sustain market transformation on a global scale. New qualitative evidence from two treaty regimes governing different types of markets supports this theory, as well as new quantitative data on the full range of global environmental treaty regimes since World War II.

N2  - Consumer demand analyses of meats have seldom included processed meats, particularly lunch meats. In this study, we examine retail lunch meat data from Nielsen 2006 Homescan. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of retail prices, expenditure, and demographic variables on eight lunch meat products. A censored AIDS model is used to estimate the demand for lunch meat products. Results reveal that own-price elasticities are elastic for all lunch meat categories. The expenditure elasticities are elastic for four lunch meat products and inelastic for the remaining products and demographic variables have statistically significant impacts on lunch meat purchases.

N2  - This chapter provides background information on the introduction of irradiated ground beef into the National School Lunch Program and reviews the importance of providing safe foods in schools, the specifications of irradiated ground beef, and the sensory attributes of irradiated beef supplied to the National School Lunch Program. The purpose of the program is to provide nutritionally balanced low-cost or free meals to children and to help support the agricultural economy. Providing safe food to schoolchildren is very important because children are at high risk for complications from some foodborne illnesses. The potential for a number of illnesses in an outbreak is high because children are grouped together at school during mealtimes and often eat the same meals. To improve food safety in schools, purchasing and distributing irradiated food products, such as ground beef, has been recommended to be offered to schools through the National School Lunch Program. One of the concerns of irradiated ground beef received by AMS and FNS was the possible change in sensory attributes such as flavor, odor, and texture. Sensory evaluations indicate that irradiation at doses specified by AMS does not affect palatability of the ground beef patties. The successful implementation of irradiated ground beef in schools will depend on consumer (parents and schools) education efforts about the safety of irradiation technology and on finding ways to reduce the cost of irradiated foods.

N2  - Consumption of raw sprouts has gained popularity due to their high nutrient and low caloric value. During the sprouting of the seeds, the conditions are favorable for the growth of bacteria, including pathogens that can cause foodborne illnesses. This chapter discusses the bacterial pathogens identified from confirmed foodborne sprout outbreaks. A list of the sprout-related outbreaks of foodborne illness is provided. Various decontamination methods for the seeds are reviewed, including the nonthermal irradiation intervention. A 2 log reduction of bacterial pathogens was reported with an acceptable sprout yield after a 2 kGy irradiation dose on the seeds. Higher dose caused lower sprout yield. However, irradiation can be used to decontaminate the sprouts and a 2 kGy dose achieves a 5 log pathogen reduction, and increases keeping quality of the sprouts with minimum nutrient effect.

N2  - Foodborne illness (FBI) outbreaks in the United States associated with contaminated fruits, vegetables, salads, and juices have prompted redoubled efforts to improve agricultural, postharvest, and supply-chain controls that reduce risk. However, the lack of a broadly applicable antimicrobial process (a "kill step") suitable for use by the fresh produce industry is hampering food safety efforts. New tools to ensure the safety of fresh and fresh-cut produce are required; lowdose irradiation is one of the more promising of these tools. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved irradiation as a safe and effective means of improving the safety and quality of Iceberg lettuce and spinach. This chapter will summarize the science related to food irradiation as it is applied to fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables for food safety purposes.

N2  - Ionizing (gamma) radiation is a safe and effective technology that can be used to inactivate foodborne pathogens in a variety of food types, including ready-to-eat (RTE) meats. The US Food and Drug Administration is currently evaluating a petition to allow irradiation of RTE meats in the United States. In this study, the ability of ionizing radiation to inactivate Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Yersinia enterocolitica on a variety of RTE meats including deli turkey, ham, pastrami, beef bologna, bacon bits, and pepperoni was tested. A radiation dose of 3.75 kGy inactivated all of the foodborne pathogens by a minimum of 5 log (99.999%), on all of the RTE meat types, which is sufficient to be labeled as pasteurized according to current regulatory requirements.

N2  - Food irradiation is a process that is described by terms normally used for nuclear activities. This inevitably leads the consumer to distrust the process. This is certainly why food irradiation is the single most food processing technology studied for toxicological safety in the history of food preservation. Therefore, it is important to explain to consumers and public authorities, responsible for legislation, what is a transformation process and what are the consequences of such a process on the chemical composition. Many consumers and politicians are simply unaware that foods contain carcinogens, either natural or due to the process, and may cause or aggravate numerous pathologies or complications. Irradiation is a process that is responsible for nutritional changes in an irradiated food. This describes nutritional changes due to radiation processing, which depend on the composition of the treated food and the amount of absorbed dose. This paper presents risks (or the absence of them) due to consumption of irradiated foods, such as chicken or beef, but also a quantitative assessment of the consumer's exposure to 2-alkylcyclobutanones, a unique radiolytic product recovered only in irradiated fatty foods.

N2  - Lytic bacteriophages, viruses which infect and lyse bacterial cells, can provide a natural method to reduce bacterial pathogens on produce commodities. The use of multi-phage cocktails is most likely to be effective against bacterial pathogens on produce commodities, and minimize the development of phage resistance in target pathogens. Regulatory approval for the use of several lytic phage products on foods and in food processing environments has been granted by various US agencies, which may lead to the more widespread use of bacteriophages in the decontamination of fresh and minimally processed produce. Bacteriophages are present in large numbers in the environment and foods, and recent human clinical trials have shown that they pose a minimal health risk to humans. Bacteriophages specific for Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes have been effective in reducing pathogen populations on produce commodities.

N2  - The safety of fresh and fresh-cut produce available in salad-bar operations and supermarkets is a concern because of foodborne illness arising from consumption of fruits and vegetables that were contaminated with enteric pathogens. Field-packed produce are not generally washed because of the difficult logistics of supplying adequate water to mobile washing equipment. Washing with chlorinated water may result in the formation of potentially carcinogenic chlorinated organic compounds. In this chapter, we explored the use of hydrogen peroxide treatments for sanitizing fruit surfaces before fresh-cut preparations. The ability of hydrogen peroxide to inactivate spoilage microflora and human bacterial pathogens on produce surfaces is discussed, including the possible formation of toxic compounds and any interaction with produce surfaces that may affect the color and nutritional qualities of the treated produce. Finally, current research results pointing to means of improving the use of hydrogen peroxide on health issues are reported.

N2  - The effect of corn-soybean rotation on mycotoxin contamination in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill.) grains has not been fully evaluated. Therefore, this research investigated the effect of corn-soybean rotation on aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination in respective grains. The results showed that aflatoxin levels in soybean averaged 2.3, &lt;0.5, 0.6, and 6.8 ng/g in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, while corn aflatoxin levels were 16.7, 37.1, 2.4, and 54.8 ng/g, respectively. Aspergillus flavus colonization was significantly greater (P≤0.05) in corn (log 1.9, 2.9, and 4.0 cfu/g) compared to soybean (&lt;1.3, 2.6, and 2.7 cfu/g) in 2005, 2007, and 2008, respectively. Aflatoxigenic A. flavus isolates were more frequent in corn than in soybean in all four years. Higher fumonisin levels were found in corn (0.2 to 3.6 µg/g) than in soybean (&lt;0.2 µg/g). Rotating soybean with corn reduces the potential for aflatoxin contamination in corn by reducing A. flavus propagules in soil and grain and reducing aflatoxigenic A. flavus colonization. These results demonstrated that soybean grain is less susceptible to aflatoxin contamination compared to corn due to a lower level of colonization by A. flavus with a greater occurrence of non-aflatoxigenic isolates.

N2  - Perilipin proteins were discovered in the adipocyte, where they regulate lipid storage and lipolysis. Animal knockout models provided initial evidence of the critical role of perilipin 1, the most abundant of the adipocyte proteins, in energy and glucose metabolism. During a decade of study, genetic variation in perilipin 1 has been consistently but not invariably associated with body weight and obesity-related complications. Related phenotypes such as postprandial lipid metabolism and aerobic fitness are also modulated by perilipin 1 genotype, consistent with earlier metabolic studies. Investigations of gene-diet interactions, together with gene expression studies, have yielded increased understanding, but important questions about causal variants and mechanisms remain. The newest work examines perilipin 4, an adipocyte regulator of triglyceride synthesis and packaging. The novel discovery that a perilipin 4 variant creates a binding site for regulation of the perilipin gene (PLIN) by microRNA suggests intriguing new possibilities for additional mechanistic investigations of other perilipin proteins.

N2  - Background: Isoflavones, having chemical structures similar to estrogens, are believed to stimulate nitric oxide production and thus lower blood pressure. The efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation to stimulate nitric oxide production and lower blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure remains unknown. Objective: The objective was to test the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on nitric oxide production and blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure. Design: A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled 6-wk trial was conducted to assess the effects of daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones (in aglycone units) on nitric oxide metabolism and blood pressure in 24 menopausal women with 12 women per group. Changes in nitric oxide metabolism were assessed via a primed, constant-infusion protocol with [15N]arginine and [13C]- and [2H]citrulline. Changes in blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics were assessed via office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, forearm blood flow, and indexes of arterial compliance. Results: When compared with placebo and after control for pretreatment values, soy isoflavone supplementation had no effect on arginine flux, citrulline flux, nitric oxide synthesis, blood pressure, forearm blood flow, or estimates of arterial stiffness. Conclusion: Daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones over a 6-wk period had no effect on nitric oxide metabolism or blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure.

N2  - Lactose synthesis is believed to be rate limiting for milk production. However, understanding the molecular events controlling lactose synthesis in humans is still rudimentary. We have utilized our established model of the RNA isolated from breast milk fat globule from seven healthy, exclusively breastfeeding women from 6 h to 42 days following delivery to determine the temporal coordination of changes in gene expression in the carbohydrate metabolic processes emphasizing the lactose synthesis pathway in human mammary epithelial cell. We showed that milk lactose concentrations increased from 75 to 200 mM from 6 to 96 h. Milk progesterone concentrations fell by 65% at 24 h and were undetectable by day 3. Milk prolactin peaked at 36 h and then declined progressively afterward. In concordance with lactose synthesis, gene expression of galactose kinase 2, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2), and phosphoglucomutase 1 increased 18-, 10-, and threefold, respectively, between 6 and 72 h. Between 6 and 96 h, gene expression of UDP-galactose transporter 2 (SLC35A2) increased threefold, whereas glucose transporter 1 was unchanged. Gene expression of lactose synthase no. 3 increased 1.7-fold by 96 h, whereas α-lactalbumin did not change over the entire study duration. Gene expression of prolactin receptor (PRLR) and its downstream signal transducer and activator of transcription complex 5 (STAT5) were increased 10- and 2.5-fold, respectively, by 72 h. In summary, lactose synthesis paralleled the induction of gene expression of proteins involved in UDP-galactose synthesis and transport, suggesting that they are potentially rate limiting in lactose synthesis and thus milk production. Progesterone withdrawal may be the signal that triggers PRLR signaling via STAT5, which may in turn induce UGP2 and SLC35A2 expression.

N2  - The orexigenic hormone ghrelin is important in diabetes because it has an inhibitory effect on insulin secretion. Ghrelin ablation in leptin-deficient ob/ob (Ghrelin-/-:ob/ob) mice increases insulin secretion and improves hyperglycemia. The physiologically relevant ghrelin receptor is the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), and GHS-R antagonists are thought to be an effective strategy for treating diabetes. However, since some of ghrelin's effects are independent of GHS-R, we have utilized genetic approaches to determine whether ghrelin's effect on insulin secretion is mediated through GHS-R and whether GHS-R antagonism indeed inhibits insulin secretion. We investigated the effects of GHS-R on glucose homeostasis in Ghsr-ablated ob/ob mice (Ghsr-/-:ob/ob). Ghsr ablation did not rescue the hyperphagia, obesity, or insulin resistance of ob/ob mice. Surprisingly, Ghsr ablation worsened the hyperglycemia, decreased insulin, and impaired glucose tolerance. Consistently, Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice upregulated negative β-cell regulators (such as UCP-2, SREBP-1c, ChREBP, and MIF-1) and downregulated positive β-cell regulators (such as HIF-1α, FGF-21, and PDX-1) in whole pancreas; this suggests that Ghsr ablation impairs pancreatic β-cell function in leptin deficiency. Of note, Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice did not affect the islet size; the average islet size of Ghsr-/-:ob/ob mice is similar to that of ob/ob mice. In summary, because Ghsr ablation in leptin deficiency impairs insulin secretion and worsens hyperglycemia, this suggests that GHS-R antagonists may actually aggravate diabetes under certain conditions. The paradoxical effects of ghrelin ablation and Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice highlight the complexity of the ghrelin-signaling pathway.

N2  - Three sets of ground corn and the corresponding distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were collected from three commercial plants and analyzed for individual phenolic acids and antioxidant capacity. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of processing on phenolic acids content and antioxidant capacity of corn and the corresponding processed DDGS samples. The five phenolic acids identified in corn and DDGS were vanillic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acids. Ferulic and p-coumaric acids accounted for about 80% of the total identified and quantified phenolic acids. The phenolic acids profile of DDGS was comparable to that of corn. The content of total phenolic acids per gram basis, in DDGS was 3.40 fold higher and antioxidant capacity was 2.58 fold more than that of corn. These observations suggest that there was little degradation in individual phenolic acids content during dry grind processing. Furthermore, significant variation in measured individual and total phenolic acids, and antioxidant capacity among processing plants existed for both corn and DDGS. Results from this study will be valuable to bioethanol manufacturers and the feed industry.

N2  - Objective: The present study examined the association of serum ferritin with CHD risk using the Framingham Heart Study's 10-year risk algorithm. Design: Ordinal logistic regression modelling was used to interpret risk. Proportional odds modelling assessed four divisions of ranked CHD risk (4, high; 3, increased; 2, slight; 1, minimal), separately by sex. Setting: Baltimore, MD, USA. Subjects: African-American and white participants (n 1823) from baseline of the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study, aged 30-64 years. Results: For men, there was a 0.5% increase in risk for every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l). Other significant predictors included increased BMI, white race, unemployment and C-reactive protein ≥9.5 mg/l. For women, there was a 5.1% increase in risk per 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l). Other significant predictors included increased BMI, lower education, unemployment and C-reactive protein ≥9.5 mg/l. Conclusions: Serum ferritin is a significant predictor of 10-year hard CHD risk for HANDLS study participants, a low-income, urban population. Serum ferritin, independent of elevated C-reactive protein, was associated with increased 10-year CHD risk for HANDLS participants. To our knowledge, these data provide the first evidence of the role of serum ferritin as a risk factor for hard CHD in African-American and white postmenopausal women in the USA. Future research on cardiovascular events from this prospective study may confirm the association.

N2  - Objective: To provide updated estimates of drinking water intake (total, tap, plain bottled) for groups aged ≥1 year in the USA and to determine whether intakes collected in 2005-2006 using the Automated Multiple-Pass Method for the 24 h recall differ from intakes collected in 2003-2004 via post-recall food-frequency type questions. Design: Cross-sectional, observational study. Setting: What We Eat in America (WWEIA), the dietary intake component of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Subjects: Individuals aged ≥1 year in 2003-2004 (n 8249) and 2005-2006 (n 8437) with one complete 24 h recall. Results: The estimate for the percentage of individuals who reported total drinking water in 2005-2006 was significantly (P&lt;0.0000) smaller (76.9%) than that for 2003-2004 (87.1%), attributable to a lower percentage reporting tap water (54.1% in 2005-2006 v. 67.0% in 2003-2004; P=0.0001). Estimates of mean tap water intake differed between the survey cycles for men aged ≥71 years. Conclusions: Survey variables must be examined before combining or comparing data from multiple WWEIA/NHANES release cycles. For at least some age/gender groups, drinking water intake data from NHANES cycles prior to 2005-2006 should not be considered comparable to more recent data.

N2  - Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen which causes clinical infections and food poisoning. This bacterium produces a group of twenty-one enterotoxins (SEs). These enterotoxins have two separate but related biological activities. They cause gastroenteritis and function as superantigens that activate large numbers of T cells. The current method for detection of enterotoxins activity is an in vivo monkey or kitten bioassay; however, this method is not practical to test on a large number of samples. Several immunological assays have been developed however, but these assays cannot distinguish between active toxin which causes food poisoning and inactive toxin, which can bind antibody, but shows no toxicity. The current study demonstrates that short term ex vivo exposure of primary naïve CD4+ T-cells or splenocytes to SEA induces differential expression and secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein. We used immunomagnetic beads coated with anti-SEA antibody to specifically isolate SEA from food. After the eluted toxin was added to the cells SEA biological activity was measured by quantifying TNF protein expression or secretion.

N2  - Background and aims: Macronutrient intakes and genetic variants have been shown to interact to alter insulin resistance, but replications of gene-nutrient interactions across independent populations are rare, despite their critical importance in establishing credibility. We aimed to investigate a previously demonstrated saturated fat and carbohydrate interaction for insulin resistance for perilipin (PLIN1), a regulator of adipocyte metabolism. Methods and results: We investigated the previously shown interaction for PLIN1 11482G &gt; A (rs894160) on insulin resistance in US men (n=462) and women (n=508) (mean±SD, 49±16 years). In multivariable linear regression models, we found an interaction (P&lt;0.05) between the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake as a continuous variable and PLIN1 11482G &gt; A for HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) in women. For carriers of the minor allele but not for non-carriers, as the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake increased, predicted HOMA-IR increased (P=0.002). By dichotomizing the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake into high and low, we found significant interaction terms for insulin and HOMA-IR (P&lt;0.05). When the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate was high, insulin and HOMA-IR were higher in minor allele carriers (P=0.004 and P=0.003, respectively), but did not differ when the ratio was low. Similar patterns or trends were observed when saturated fat and carbohydrate were dichotomized into high and low as individual macronutrients. Conclusions: Replication of the previously reported interaction between macronutrient intakes and PLIN1 genotype for insulin resistance reinforces the potential usefulness of applying genotype information in the dietary management of insulin resistance.

N2  - The golden Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is frequently used as a model to study virulence for several Leptospira species. Onset of an acute lethal infection following inoculation with several pathogenic Leptospira species has been widely adopted for pathogenesis studies. An important exception is the outcome following inoculation of hamsters with live L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo, the primary cause of bovine leptospirosis and a cause of human infections. Typically, inoculation of hamsters with L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo fails to induce clinical signs of infection. In this study, the authors defined LD50 and ID50 for 2 strains of L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo: JB197 and 203. Both strains infected hamsters with ID50 values of approximately 1.5×102 bacteria yet differed in tissue invasion and interaction with leukocytes, resulting in widely divergent clinical outcomes. Hamsters infected with strain 203 established renal colonization within 4 days postinfection and remained asymptomatic with chronic renal infections similar to cattle infected with serovar Hardjo. In contrast, hamsters infected with strain JB197 developed a rapidly debilitating disease typical of acute leptospirosis common in accidental hosts (eg, humans) with an LD50 of 3.6×104 bacteria. Evidence that strain JB197 resides in both extracellular and intracellular environments during hamster infection was obtained. Development of models that result in chronic and acute forms of leptospirosis provides a platform to study L. borgpetersenii pathogenesis and to test vaccines for the prevention of leptospirosis.

N2  - Purpose - This paper aims to provide an assessment of the growth in marketing contracts in the US pork industry as an efficient means to control pork quality and reduce transaction costs. Design/methodology/approach - Information collected from pork quality and safety summits sponsored by the National Pork Producers Council in cooperation with the National Pork Board, published surveys of large packers related to contract use, and 15 contracts submitted by producers to the Iowa Attorney General's Office from 1996 to 2001 were examined. The theoretical framework used combines branches of the industrial organization literature. Findings - The paper provides information documenting the growing importance of addressing pork quality problems in the 1990s and how marketing contracts between packers and producers can help address these problems. Recognizes their role in reducing transaction costs associated with carcass pricing programs, reducing pork quality measuring costs, providing quality control, and reducing costs of adapting to quality uncertainty. Research limitations/implications - The list of contracts examined is a small collection of contracts voluntarily submitted by producers, and pertains to a specific geographic section of the USA. Thus, they may not be representative of the entire industry. Practical implications - The paper provides background information on quality issues faced by the US pork industry and a framework for better understanding the potential role of marketing contracts in addressing these issues. Originality/value - This paper provides rather unique institutional background information on important changes occurring in the US pork industry in the 1990s and the role of the growth in marketing contracts in addressing related pork quality issues over time. Given the proprietary nature of specific contract terms, a small sample of long-term marketing contracts is analyzed to better understand contract design.

N2  - This study was designed to evaluate cultivar variations in phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of peel and flesh; and to determine their potential inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase in 33 blueberry (Vaccinium species) cultivars, including 29 rabbiteye (Vaccinium ashei Reade) blueberries, two V. ashei hybrid derivatives, and two northern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The relation of phenolic, anthocyanin, and antioxidant activity to α-glucosidase inhibition in blueberries also was investigated. It was found that peel tissue possessed higher levels of total anthocyanins (TA), total phenolics (TP), antioxidant capacity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than flesh tissue in all blueberries tested. The percentage contributions of peel to whole berry on scavenging capacity against peroxyl free radicals (ROO), hydroxyl radicals (OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and singlet oxygen (1O2) radicals, were higher than those of flesh, even though the fruit contained much higher amounts of flesh than peel in terms of dry weight. Cultivars with high levels of phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacities, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities could be selected for use in blueberry breeding programs to develop new lines with improved health benefits.

N2  - Studies are lacking on the nonthermal pasteurization of liquid foods using UV irradiators that centrifugally form very thin films to overcome the problem of limited penetration depth of UV. Grapefruit juice inoculated with Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae was processed at the following conditions: UV dose 4.8-24 mJ/cm2; treatment time 3.2 s, cylinder rotational speed 450-750 rpm, cylinder inclination angle 15-45°, outlet temperature 11°C, and flow rate 300 ml/min, and was stored for 35 days. Appropriate dilutions of the samples were pour plated with TSA and TSA+3% NaCl for E. coli and Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and SDA+5% NaCl for S. cerevisiae. Nonthermal UV processing at 19 mJ/cm2, 450 rpm and 15° reduced E. coli in grapefruit juice by 5.1 log10. A dose of 14 mJ/cm2 reduced S. cerevisiae by 6.0 log10. Inactivation increased linearly with increasing UV dose. The inactivations at 600 and 750 rpm were similar, and were better than at 450 rpm. The results at 30° and 45° were similar, and were better than at 15°. The occurrence of sublethal injury in either microorganism was not detected. Storing UV processed grapefruit juice at 4 and 10°C reduced the surviving E. coli to below 1 log10 cfu/ml in 14 days. Processing UV juice reduced the population of S. cerevisiae to less than 1 log10 cfu/ml where it remained for 35 days during refrigerated storage. These results suggest that grapefruit juice may be pasteurized using a nonthermal UV irradiator that centrifugally forms a thin film.

N2  - Recombinant replication-defective human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vaccines containing capsid-coding regions from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) have been demonstrated to induce effective immune responses and provide homologous protective immunity against FMDV in cattle. However, basic mechanisms of Ad5-FMDV vaccine function including virus tropism, transgene expression, and antigen presentation, remain incompletely understood. The current study characterized the dynamics of Ad5 viral vector (Ad5-FMDV-A24 and Ad5-luciferase) infection in cell lines and early post-inoculation vector-host interactions in cattle. Adenovirus dissemination was described utilizing novel rPCR, rRT-PCR, luminometry, and immunomicroscopy techniques. In vitro infection of human and bovine cells with both Ad5 vectors resulted in dose-dependent detection of vector DNA, mature mRNA transcripts, and transgene-encoded proteins. Subsequent to intramuscular inoculation of cattle, Ad5 and transgene products were detected at the injection sites of all animals at all time-points examined (6, 24, and 48 hpi). Microscopically, injection sites were characterized by marked infiltrates of interstitium consisting of predominantly large mononuclear cells. Immunomicroscopy indicated these cells infrequently contained adenovirus and/or transgenic proteins and were phenotypically consistent with antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells). Vector DNA and mature mRNA transcripts were first detected at the draining and local lymph nodes as early as 6 hpi and systemically at 24 hpi. These results provide novel insights for understanding Ad5-mediated immunity against FMDV using novel techniques that will contribute to ongoing efforts for the improvement of future Ad-FMDV vaccine platforms.

N2  - Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis Lehmann and Neumann, 1896. Although it is essentially a disease of rodents, plague can also be transmitted to people. Historically, plague has caused massive morbidity and mortality events in human populations, and has recently been classified as a reemerging disease in many parts of the world. This public health threat has led many countries to set up wild and domestic animal surveillance programs in an attempt to monitor plague activity that could potentially spill over into human populations. Both China and the USA have plague surveillance programs in place, but the disease dynamics differ in each country. We present data on plague seroprevalence in wildlife and review different approaches for plague surveillance in the 2 countries. The need to better comprehend plague dynamics, combined with the fact that there are still several thousand human plague cases per year, make well-designed wildlife surveillance programs a critical part of both understanding plague risks to humans and preventing disease outbreaks in the future.

N2  - Overweight/obesity is an epidemic in the US as well as in other developed countries, affecting two-thirds of Americans and an estimated 2.3 billion people worldwide. Obesity increases the risk for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. For example, epidemiological studies have established a strong association between obesity and colon cancer. It is generally accepted that metabolic changes associated with overweight/obesity, particularly abdominal obesity and changes in adipocyte function, contribute to the increased risk of colon cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this association is important for the development of preventive strategies for colon cancer. Part of these preventive strategies may be based on dietary factors, such as vitamins, minerals (e.g. selenium), fibre, phytochemicals and phenolic compounds. These anticancer nutrients may counteract the molecular changes associated with obesity. The present article reviews the evidence that inflammation and insulin resistance induced by obesity are the molecular mediators of the association between obesity and colon cancer. We also evaluate the evidence for the ability of dietary factors to target the obesity-induced changes and, thus, protect against colon cancer.

N2  - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by certain fungi that infest cereal grains. A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal antibody (Mab) was used as the starting point in the development of a recombinant single chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) recognising DON. The scFv and Mab were characterised using two immunoassay formats: competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CD-ELISA) and biolayer interferometry (BLI). Using CD-ELISA the IC50s for DON were 36.1 and 13.8 ng/ml for assays based on the scFv and Mab, respectively. The cross-reactivity to DON analogs was very similar for the scFv and the Mab. The real-time binding of the antibodies to an immobilised DON-protein conjugate was also monitored. In competitive BLI assays the IC50s using the scFv and Mab were 68.3 and 15.8 ng/ml, respectively. The results suggest that sensitivity of assays, but not selectivity, was affected by removal of the constant regions of the Mab.

N2  - The objective of this review is to consider the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects muscle and the evidence that vitamin D status is important for muscle performance and fall prevention in older adults. Vitamin D receptors have been identified in human skeletal-muscle cells. Activation of these receptors by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is involved in the action of vitamin D on the myocyte. Several studies have examined the effect of supplemental vitamin D on muscle strength, balance and falls. Among those examining muscle strength, results have been either positive for vitamin D or null. A recent meta-analysis of seventeen such trials revealed no significant effect of vitamin D overall, but a significant improvement in strength was observed in the trials in which the mean starting level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 25 nmol/l or below. Evidence for an effect of vitamin D on balance, measured as sway, is less abundant but more consistently positive. Many trials have evaluated the effect of supplemental vitamin D on falls. Overall, there is about a 20% lower risk of falling with supplementation. One meta-analysis considered the vitamin D dose administered and concluded that doses up through 15 µg (600 IU) were ineffective and doses of 17.5-25 µg/d (700-1000 IU/d) significantly lowered fall risk. The minimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D level needed for benefit was 60 nmol/l.

N2  - Accumulation of anthropogenic gases, particularly CO2, is likely to have 2 fundamental effects on plant biology. The first is an indirect effect through Earth's increasing average surface temperatures, with subsequent effects on other aspects of climate, such as rainfall and extreme weather events. The second is a direct effect caused by CO2-induced stimulation of photosynthesis and plant growth. Both effects are likely to alter a number of fundamental aspects of plant biology and human health, including aerobiology and allergic diseases, respectively. This review highlights the current and projected effect of increasing CO2 and climate change in the context of plants and allergen exposure, emphasizing direct effects on plant physiologic parameters (eg, pollen production) and indirect effects (eg, fungal sporulation) related to diverse biotic and abiotic interactions. Overall, the review assumes that future global mitigation efforts will be limited and suggests a number of key research areas that will assist in adapting to the ongoing challenges to public health associated with increased allergen exposure.

N2  - Background: The interaction between apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) m265 genotype and saturated fat for obesity traits has been more extensively demonstrated than for any other locus, but behavioural and hormonal mechanisms underlying this relationship are unexplored. In this study, we evaluated relationships between APOA2 and obesity risk with particular focus on patterns of eating and ghrelin, a hormonal regulator of food intake. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: Overweight and obese subjects (n=1225) were evaluated at baseline in five weight loss clinics in southeastern Spain. Methods: Behavioural data were assessed using a checklist of weight loss obstacles. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the risk of a specific behaviour associated with APOA2 genotype. Relationships between APOA2 genotype and saturated fat intakes for anthropometric traits and plasma ghrelin were evaluated by analysis of variance. To construct categorical variables to evaluate interactions, saturated fat intake was dichotomized into high and low according to the population median intake or as tertiles. Results: Homozygous minor (CC) subjects were more likely to exhibit behaviours that impede weight loss ('Do you skip meals', odds ratio (OR)=2.09, P=0.008) and less likely to exhibit the protective behaviour of 'Do you plan meals in advance' (OR=0.64, P=0.034). Plasma ghrelin for CC subjects consuming low saturated fat was lower compared with (1) CC subjects consuming high saturated fat, (2) TT+TC carriers consuming low saturated fat and (3) TT+TC carriers consuming high saturated fat (all P&lt;0.05). Conclusions: APOA2 m265 genotype may be associated with eating behaviours and dietary modulation of plasma ghrelin. Expansion of knowledge of APOA2 and obesity to include modulation of specific behaviours and hormonal mediators not only broadens understanding of gene-diet interactions, but also facilitates the pragmatic, future goal of developing dietary guidelines based on genotype.

N2  - Previous studies have suggested that lipid from nuts is more poorly absorbed than that from other food sources. If lipid from nuts is poorly absorbed, then the metabolisable energy contained in the nuts is less than that predicted by the Atwater general factors. A crossover feeding study was conducted in which sixteen volunteers consumed pistachios for 3 weeks as part of a controlled diet. Pistachio doses were 0, 42 and 84 g/d. Urine and faecal samples were collected, and urine, faeces and diet were analysed for N, fat, total dietary fibre, ash and combustible energy. Blood was also collected after each treatment period and analysed for plasma lipids. Energy value of pistachio nuts was calculated from differences in energy excretion during the different dietary treatments. The measured energy density of pistachios was found to be 22.6 kJ/g, which is 5% less than the currently accepted energy value of 23.7 kJ/g, as calculated using the Atwater general factors. The pistachio nut intervention lowered LDL-cholesterol by 6%, but did not significantly change plasma total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol or TAG. In conclusion, pistachio nuts contain less metabolisable energy than that calculated from the Atwater general factors. Accurate information about metabolisable energy content of foods is important for reliable food labelling.

N2  - Catfish hatcheries use copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4 . 5H2O) as an economical control for saprolegniasis on eggs. This study determines hatch rate of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque 1818), eggs in hatching troughs containing 23.8°C flow-through well water when treated with 100 mg L-1 CuSO4 . 5H2O (10 times the proposed therapeutic dose). Eggs were treated daily until the embryos reached the eyed stage. Fry survival in the control and 100 mg L-1 CuSO4 . 5H2O treatments was significantly different (15% and 71% respectively). This study demonstrates that there is a considerable margin of safety in using CuSO4 . 5H2O as a catfish egg treatment to control saprolegniasis.

AB  - Importance: Calorie restriction (CR) increases longevity in many species and reduces risk factors for chronic diseases. In humans, CR may improve health span, yet concerns remain about potential negative effects of CR.Objective: To test the effect of CR on mood, quality of life (QOL), sleep, and sexual function in healthy nonobese adults.Design, Setting, and Participants: A multisite randomized clinical trial (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy Phase 2 [CALERIE 2]) was conducted at 3 academic research institutions. Adult men and women (N = 220) with body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 22.0 to 28.0 were randomized to 2 years of 25% CR or an ad libitum (AL) control group in a 2:1 ratio favoring CR. Data were collected at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months and examined using intent-to-treat analysis. The study was conducted from January 22, 2007, to March 6, 2012. Data analysis was performed from July 18, 2012, to October 27, 2015.Interventions: Two years of 25% CR or AL.Main Outcomes and Measures: Self-report questionnaires were administered to measure mood (Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II], score range 0-63, higher scores indicating worse mood, and Profile of Mood States [POMS], with a total mood disturbance score range of -32 to 200 and higher scores indicating higher levels of the constructs measured), QOL (Rand 36-Item Short Form, score range 0-100, higher scores reflecting better QOL, and Perceived Stress Scale, score range 0-40, higher scores indicating higher levels of stress), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI], total score range 0-21, higher scores reflecting worse sleep quality), and sexual function (Derogatis Interview for Sexual Function-Self-report, total score range 24-188, higher scores indicating better sexual functioning).Results: In all, 218 participants (152 women [69.7%]; mean [SD] age, 37.9 (7.2) years; mean [SD] BMI, 25.1 [1.6]) were included in the analyses. The CR and AL groups lost a mean (SE) of 7.6 (0.3) kg and 0.4 (0.5) kg, respectively, at month 24 (P < .001). Compared with the AL group, the CR group had significantly improved mood (BDI-II: between-group difference [BGD], -0.76; 95% CI, -1.41 to -0.11; effect size [ES], -0.35), reduced tension (POMS: BGD, -0.79; 95% CI, -1.38 to -0.19; ES, -0.39), and improved general health (BGD, 6.45; 95% CI, 3.93 to 8.98; ES, 0.75) and sexual drive and relationship (BGD, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.11 to 2.01; ES, 0.35) at month 24 as well as improved sleep duration at month 12 (BGD, -0.26; 95% CI, -0.49 to -0.02; ES, -0.32) (all P < .05). Greater percent weight loss in the CR group at month 24 was associated with increased vigor (Spearman correlation coefficient, ρ = -0.30) and less mood disturbance (ρ = 0.27) measured with the POMS, improved general health (ρ = -0.27) measured with the SF-36, and better sleep quality per the PSQI total score (ρ = 0.28) (all P < .01).Conclusions and Relevance: In nonobese adults, CR had some positive effects and no negative effects on health-related QOL.Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00427193.

AB  - Background: An estimated 1 million children die each year before their fifth birthday from diarrhea. Previous population-based surveys of pediatric diarrheal diseases have identified the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, as one of the causes of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.Methods: We prospectively studied the natural history of E. histolytica colonization and diarrhea among infants in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh.Results: Approximately 80% of children were infected with E. histolytica by the age of 2 years. Fecal anti-galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine lectin immunoglobulin A was associated with protection from reinfection, while a high parasite burden and expansion of the Prevotella copri level was associated with diarrhea.Conclusions: E. histolytica infection was prevalent in this population, with most infections asymptomatic and diarrhea associated with both the amount of parasite and the composition of the microbiota.

AB  - Objective: To determine whether adding mindfulness-based eating and stress management practices to a diet-exercise program improves weight loss and metabolic syndrome components.Methods: In this study 194 adults with obesity were randomized to a 5.5-month program with or without mindfulness training and identical diet-exercise guidelines. Intention-to-treat analyses with multiple imputation were used for missing data. The primary outcome was 18-month weight change.Results: Estimated effects comparing the mindfulness to control arm favored the mindfulness arm in (a) weight loss at 12 months, -1.9 kg (95% CI: -4.5, 0.8; P = 0.17), and 18 months, -1.7 kg (95% CI: -4.7, 1.2; P = 0.24), though not statistically significant; (b) changes in fasting glucose at 12 months, -3.1 mg/dl (95% CI: -6.3, 0.1; P = 0.06), and 18 months, -4.1 mg/dl (95% CI: -7.3, -0.9; P = 0.01); and (c) changes in triglyceride/HDL ratio at 12 months, -0.57 (95% CI: -0.95, -0.18; P = 0.004), and 18 months, -0.36 (95% CI: -0.74, 0.03; P = 0.07). Estimates for other metabolic risk factors were not statistically significant, including waist circumference, blood pressure, and C-reactive protein.Conclusions: Mindfulness enhancements to a diet-exercise program did not show substantial weight loss benefit but may promote long-term improvement in some aspects of metabolic health in obesity that requires further study.

AB  - Top-predators can be important components of resilient ecosystems, but they are still controlled in many places to mitigate a variety of economic, environmental and/or social impacts. Lethal control is often achieved through the broad-scale application of poisoned baits. Understanding the direct and indirect effects of such lethal control on subsequent movements and behaviour of survivors is an important pre-requisite for interpreting the efficacy and ecological outcomes of top-predator control. In this study, we use GPS tracking collars to investigate the fine-scale and short-term movements of dingoes ( Canis lupus dingo and other wild dogs) in response to a routine poison-baiting program as an example of how a common, social top-predator can respond (behaviourally) to moderate levels of population reduction. We found no consistent control-induced differences in home range size or location, daily distance travelled, speed of travel, temporal activity patterns or road/trail usage for the seven surviving dingoes we monitored immediately before and after a typical lethal control event. These data suggest that the spatial behaviour of surviving dingoes was not altered in ways likely to affect their detectability, and if control-induced changes in dingoes' ecological function did occur, these may not be related to altered spatial behaviour or movement patterns.

AB  - The rising prices of crude oil in the world market and the continuing global trend to mainstream renewable energy use have prompted the Philippines to consider alternative fuels. Since 2006 when a new law was implemented requiring a 10 % blend to unleaded gasoline, the use of ethanol has increased significantly. Sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.), cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) and sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas) have been the major feedstock in ethanol production. This analysis focused on the impacts of E10 (10 % ethanol content) on the retail price of gasoline and how this might affect gasoline prices. Recognizing the direct dependence of the price of E10 on gasoline prices, the analysis focused on analyzing the price of ethanol. The hypothesis is that since ethanol is what makes E10 cheaper than gas given the lower cost of its production i.e., domestically grown raw materials, then cheaper ethanol should depress the price of E10 and therefore gas, ceteris paribus. The price of E10 is endogenous since it is a function of the price of gasoline, being a major input to its production, 90 % in fact. Using fixed-effects, 2007-2009 provincial panel data, from second stage least squares econometric estimation, the impact of ethanol use on retail regular gasoline prices is quantified. The partial effect analysis indicates that a 1-peso (rate: 1USD - PhP 41.96) increase in the price of feedstock prices as inputs to the production of E10 increases the price of gasoline by 37 centavos per liter. The analysis shows the positive relationship between the prices of E10 and gasoline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In partially migratory species, such as Oncorhynchus mykiss, the emergence of life history phenotypes is often attributed to fitness trade-offs associated with growth and survival. Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O. mykiss outmigrants are more likely to be female in nine populations throughout western North America (grand mean 65% female), in support of the hypothesis that anadromy is more likely to benefit females. This bias was not related to migration distance or freshwater productivity, as indicated by latitude. Within one O. mykiss population we also measured the resident sex ratio and did not observe a male bias, despite a high female bias among outmigrants in that system. We provide a simulation to demonstrate the relationship between sex ratios and the proportion of anadromy and show how sex ratios could be a valuable tool for predicting the prevalence of life history types in a population.

AB  - Chez les espèces partiellement migratrices comme la truite arc-en-ciel anadrome ( Oncorhynchus mykiss), l'apparition de phénotypes associés au cycle biologique est souvent attribuée à des compromis adaptatifs reliés à la croissance et à la survie. Ces compromis peuvent être liés à des tactiques de reproduction qui varient selon le sexe, ainsi qu'à l'influence de conditions du milieu. Nous avons constaté que, dans neuf populations de l'Ouest de l'Amérique du Nord, les O. mykiss migrant vers la mer sont plus susceptibles d'être des femelles (grande moyenne de 65 % de femelles), ce qui appuie l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'anadromie est probablement plus avantageuse pour les femelles que pour les mâles. Ce biais n'est pas relié à la distance de migration ni à la productivité du milieu d'eau douce, reflétée par la latitude. Dans une population d' O. mykiss, nous avons également mesuré le rapport des sexes des individus résidents et n'avons observé aucun biais en faveur des mâles, malgré un fort biais en faveur des femelles parmi les individus migrant vers la mer dans ce système. Nous présentons une simulation pour illustrer la relation entre les rapports des sexes et la proportion d'anadromie et démontrons que ces rapports peuvent constituer un outil intéressant pour la prédiction de la prévalence des types de cycle biologique dans une population donnée.

AB  - Cost-efficient strategies for revegetating annual grass-infested rangelands are limited. Restoration efforts typically comprise a combination of pre-emergent herbicide application and seeding to restore desired plant materials. However, practitioners struggle with applying herbicide at rates sufficient to achieve weed control without damaging nontarget species. The objective of this research was to determine if seed enhancement technologies using activated carbon would improve selectivity of the preemergent herbicide imazapic. Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) seed was either untreated, coated with activated carbon, or incorporated into "herbicide protection pods" (HPPs) made of activated carbon through a newly developed seed extrusion technique. In a grow-room facility, bluebunch wheatgrass seeds were sown in pots that contained seed of the exotic-annual grass downy brome (Bromus tectorum). After planting, pots were sprayed with 70, 105, 140, or 210 g acid equivalent (ae) ⋅ ha-1 of imazapic or left unsprayed. Where herbicide was not applied, downy brome biomass dominated the growing space. Imazapic effectively controlled downy brome and untreated bluebunch wheatgrass. Seed coating improved bluebunch wheatgrass tolerance to imazapic at 70 g ae ⋅ ha-1. HPPs provided protection from imazapic at all application rates. When untreated seeds and HPPs are compared at the four levels of herbicide application (excluding the no herbicide level), HPPs on average were 4.8-, 3.8-, and 19.0-fold higher than untreated seeds in density, height, and biomass, respectively. These results indicate that HPPs and, to a lesser extent, activated carbon-coated seed have the potential to further enhance a single-entry revegetation program by providing land practitioners with the ability to apply imazapic at rates necessary for weed control while minimizing nontarget plant injury. Additional research is merited for further development and evaluation of these seed enhancement technologies, including field studies, before they can be recommended as restoration treatments.

AB  - Most wildfires occur during summer in the northern hemisphere, the area burned annually is increasing, and fire effects during this season are least understood. Understanding plant response to grazing following summer fire is required to reduce ecological and financial risks associated with wildfire. Forty 0.75-ha plots were assigned to summer fire then 0, 17, 34 or 50% biomass removal by grazing the following growing season, or no fire and no grazing. Root, litter, and aboveground biomass were measured before fire, immediately after grazing, and 1 yr after grazing with the experiment repeated during 2 yr to evaluate weather effects. Fire years were followed by the second driest and fifth wettest springs in 70 yr. Biomass was more responsive to weather than fire and grazing, with a 452% increase from a dry to wet year and 31% reduction from a wet to average spring. Fire reduced litter 53% and had no first-year effect on productivity for any biomass component. Grazing after fire reduced postgrazing grass biomass along the prescribed utilization gradient. Fire and grazing had no effect on total aboveground productivity the year after grazing compared to nonburned, nongrazed sites (1 327 vs. 1249 ± 65 kg ⋅ha-1). Fire and grazing increased grass productivity 16%, particularly for Pascopyrum smithii. The combined disturbances reduced forbs (51%), annual grasses (49%), and litter (46%). Results indicate grazing with up to 50% biomass removal the first growing season after summer fire was not detrimental to productivity of semiarid rangeland plant communities. Livestock exclusion the year after summer fire did not increase productivity or shift species composition compared to grazed sites. Reduction of previous years' standing dead material was the only indication that fire may temporarily reduce forage availability. The consistent responses among dry, wet, and near-average years suggest plant response is species-specific rather than climatically controlled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Little information is available to help managers of cool-season dominated semiarid rangelands determine when to begin and end grazing in the spring and fall. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of clipping spring and fall growth on subsequent-year yield of needle-and-thread (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth) and threadleaf sedge (Carex filifolia Nutt.) (USDA-NRCS 2012) using a randomized complete block, split-plot experimental design with fall moisture regimes (ambient or supplemental water) applied to main plots and defoliation treatments applied to subplots. Two combinations of spring defoliation, one for each fall moisture regime, were composed of a factorial array of three spring clipping dates (early May, late May, mid-June) and three levels of defoliation (0%, 40%, 80%). A third combination of treatments was composed of the supplemental water regime and an array of a single spring clipping date (late May), a single fall clipping date (late September, after regrowth), and three levels of defoliation (0%, 40%, 80%) in the same year. Ambient fall moisture was low, leading to continued senescence of needle-and-thread and threadleaf sedge, whereas the application of 10 cm of supplemental water in mid-August stimulated fall growth. The study was replicated with two sets of main plots at four sites in consecutive years, 2002 and 2003. Yield data were collected in mid-June of the year following treatment. Subsequent-year yield of needle-and-thread was not affected by defoliation under average plant-year precipitation conditions (2003) (P > 0.05); however, it was reduced following heavy (80%) late spring (late May or June) defoliation during a drought year (2002) (P > 0.05). Subsequent-year yield of threadleaf sedge was not affected by defoliation in either year (P > 0.05). Because it is difficult to predict when drought will occur, avoiding heavy late-spring grazing in needle-and-thread-dominated pastures in consecutive years would be prudent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A long history of urbanization and industrialization has affected trace elements in New York City (NYC) soils. Selected NYC pedons were analyzed by aqua regia microwave digestion and sequential chemical extraction as follows: water soluble (WS); exchangeable (EX); specifically sorbed/carbonate bound (SS/CAR); oxide-bound (OX); organic/sulfide bound (OM/S). Soils showed a range in properties (e.g., pH 3.9 to 7.4). Sum of total extractable (SUM TE) trace elements was higher in NYC parks compared to Bronx River watershed sites. NYC surface horizons showed higher total extractable (TE) levels compared to US non-anthropogenic soils. TE levels increased over 10 year in some of the relatively undisturbed and mostly wooded park sites. Surface horizons of park sites with long-term anthropogenic inputs showed elevated TE levels vs. subsurface horizons. Conversely, some Bronx River watershed soils showed increased concentrations with depth, reflective of their formation in a thick mantle of construction debris increasing with depth and intermingled with anthrotransported soil materials. Short-range variability was evident in primary pedons and satellite samples (e.g., Pb 253 ± 143 mg/kg). Long-range variability was indicated by Pb TE (348 versus 156 mg/kg) and Hg TE (1 versus 0.3 mg/kg) concentrations varying several-fold in the same soil but in different geographic locations. Relative predominance of fractions: RES (37 %) > SS/CAR (22 %) > OX (20 %) > OM/S (10 %) > EX (7 %) > WS (4 %). WS and EX fractions were greatest for Hg (7 %) and Cd (14 %), respectively. RES was predominant fraction for Co, Cr, Ni, and Zn (41 to 51 %); SS/CAR for Cd and Pb (40 and 63 %); OM/S for Cu and Hg (36 and 37 %); and OX for As (59 %). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Maintenance of organ separation is one of the essential phenomena for normal plant development. We have identified and analyzed ONION3 (ONI3), which is required for avoiding organ fusions in rice. Loss-of-function mutations of ONI3, which were identified as mutants with ectopic expression of KNOX genes in leaves and morphologically resembling KNOX overexpressors, showed abnormal organ fusions in developing shoots. The mutant seedlings showed fusions between neighboring organs and also within an organ; they stopped growing soon after germination and subsequently died. ONI3 was shown to encode an enzyme that is most similar to Arabidopsis HOTHEAD and is involved in biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. Expression analyses showed that ONI3 was specifically expressed in the outermost cell layer in the shoot apex throughout life cycle, and the oni3 mutants had an aberrant outermost cell layer. Our results together with previous studies suggest that long-chain fatty acids are required for avoiding organ fusions and promoting normal shoot development in rice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The filamentous fungusAspergillus flavusis one of the most important species in theAspergillusgenus and is distributed worldwide as a prevalent aflatoxin-producing food and feed contaminant.A. flavuscontains more than 55 gene clusters that are predicted to encode proteins involved in secondary metabolite production. One of these, cluster 27, contains a polyketide synthase (pks27) gene that encodes a protein that is highly homologous to the aflatoxin cluster PKS. Comparative metabolomics, using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to high resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) was used to detect metabolites differentially expressed in theA. flavus wild-type and∆pks27 mutant strains. Metabolite profiling was aided by a statistical differential analysis of MS data using SIEVE software. This differential analysis combined with accurate mass data from the Orbitrap and ion trap multiple stage MS allowed four metabolites to be identified that were produced only by the wild-type culture. These included asparasone A (358 Da), an anthraquinone pigment, and related anthraquinones with masses of 316, 340 and 374 Da. These latter three compounds had similar fragmentation patterns to that of asparasone A. The 316 Da anthraquinone is particularly interesting because it is most likely formed by incorporation of seven malonyl-CoA units rather than the eight units required for the formation of asparasone A. The 340 and 374 Da metabolites are the dehydration and an oxy-derivative of asparasone A, respectively. Asparasone A was also identified in extracts from several otherAspergillusspecies.

AB  - In the United States, new regulations on second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides will likely be offset by expanded use of first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. In the present study, eastern screech-owls ( Megascops asio) were fed 10 µg diphacinone/g wet weight food for 7 d, and recovery was monitored over a 21-d postexposure period. By day 3 of exposure, diphacinone (DPN) was detected in liver (1.63 µg/g wet wt) and kidney (5.83 µg/g) and coagulopathy was apparent. By day 7, prothrombin time (PT) and Russell's viper venom time (RVVT) were prolonged, and some individuals were anemic. Upon termination of exposure, coagulopathy and anemia were resolved within 4 d, and residues decreased to <0.3 µg/g by day 7. Liver and kidney DPN elimination occurred in 2 phases (initial rapid loss, followed by slower loss rate), with overall half-lives of 11.7 d and 2.1 d, respectively. Prolonged PT and RVVT occurred in 10% of the exposed owls with liver DPN concentrations of 0.122 µg/g and 0.282 µg/g and in 90% of the owls with liver concentrations of 0.638 µg/g and 0.361 µg/g. These liver residue levels associated with coagulopathy fall in the range of values reported in raptor mortality incidents involving DPN. These tissue-based toxicity reference values for coagulopathy in adult screech-owls have application for interpreting nontarget mortality and assessing the hazard of DPN in rodent-control operations. Diphacinone exposure evokes toxicity in raptors within a matter of days; but once exposure is terminated, recovery of hemostasis occurs rapidly. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:74-81. © 2013 SETAC.

AB  - Disposal of produced waters, pumped to the surface as part of coalbed methane (CBM) development, is a significant environmental issue in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin, USA. High sodium adsorption ratios (SAR) of the waters could degrade agricultural land, especially if directly applied to the soil surface. One method of disposing of CBM water, while deriving beneficial use, is subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), where acidified CBM waters are applied to alfalfa fields year-round via tubing buried 0.92 m deep. Effects of the method were studied on an alluvial terrace with a relatively shallow depth to water table (∼3 m). Excess irrigation water caused the water table to rise, even temporarily reaching the depth of drip tubing. The rise corresponded to increased salinity in some monitoring wells. Three factors appeared to drive increased groundwater salinity: (1) CBM solutes, concentrated by evapotranspiration; (2) gypsum dissolution, apparently enhanced by cation exchange; and (3) dissolution of native Na–Mg–SO 4 salts more soluble than gypsum. Irrigation with high SAR (∼24) water has increased soil saturated paste SAR up to 15 near the drip tubing. Importantly though, little change in SAR has occurred at the surface.

AB  - La eliminación de aguas producidas, bombeada a la superficie como parte de la explotación de gas metano de mantos de carbón (CBM), es un tema ambiental significativo en la porción de Wyoming de la cuenca del Río Powder, EEUU. Las altas relaciones de absorción sodio (SAR) de la aguas podrían degradar las tierras agrícolas, especialmente si es aplicado directamente a la superficie del suelo. Un método para eliminar el agua de CBM, mientras que se aprovechan al mismo tiempo sus beneficios, es el riego supsuperficial por goteo (SDI), donde las aguas acidificadas CBM son aplicadas a campos de alfalfa durante todo el año a través de tubos enterrados a 0.92 m de profundidad. Los efectos del método fueron estudiados en una terraza aluvial con una profundidad relativamente somera del nivel freático (∼3 m). Los excesos del agua de riego causaron la elevación del nivel freático, incluso alcanzando temporariamente la profundidad de los tubos de goteo. El ascenso se correspondió con un incremento de la salinidad en algunos pozos. Tres factores aparecieron como forzantes para impulsar el aumento en la salinidad de las aguas subterráneas: (1) solutos CBM, concentrados por evaporación; (2) disolución de yeso, aparentemente enriquecido por intercambio catiónico; y (3) disolución de sales nativas Na–Mg–SO 4 más soluble que el yeso. La irrigación con agua de altos valores de SAR (∼24) ha incrementado el SAR de la pasta saturada del suelo hasta 15 veces cerca de los tubos de goteo. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que ha ocurrido poco cambio del SAR en la superficie. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Résumé: L’élimination des eaux produites et pompées jusqu’à la surface lors de l’extraction de méthane de charbon (CBM) constitue un enjeu environnemental important dans la partie du bassin de la rivière Powder appartenant au Wyoming, USA. Les forts Rapports d’Adsorption du Sodium (SAR) des eaux pourraient dégrader les terres agricoles, particulièrement si les eaux sont directement appliquées à la surface du sol. Une méthode d’élimination de l’eau de CBM, tout en en tirant un usage bénéfique, est l’irrigation souterraine au goutte à goutte (SDI), où les eaux de CBM acidifiées sont appliquées à longueur d’année à des champs de luzerne au moyen de tubes enterrés à 0.92 m de profondeur. Les effets de cette méthode ont été étudiés sur une terrasse alluviale avec un niveau piézométrique relativement peu profond (∼3 m). L’excédent d’irrigation entraîne une montée du niveau piézométrique, qui atteint même temporairement la profondeur des tubes de goutte à goutte. Cette montée coïncide avec à une augmentation de la salinité dans certains puits. Trois facteurs paraissent piloter l’augmentation de la salinité des eaux souterraines : (1) les solutés des CBM, concentrés par évapotranspiration; (2) la dissolution du gypse, apparemment augmentée par échange de cation; et (3) la dissolution de sels natifs de Na–Mg–SO 4 plus solubles que le gypse. L’irrigation avec de l’eau à SAR élevé (∼24) a augmenté jusqu’à 15 le SAR du sol situé près des tubages de goutte à goutte (mesure sur échantillon de sol porté à saturation en eau et mixé).

AB  - Resumo: O uso de águas produzidas e bombeadas para a superfície como parte da exploração de camadas de carvão e metano (CBM) é uma questão ambiental significativa na porção de Wyoming da Bacia do Rio Powder, nos EUA. A elevada relação de adsorção de sódio (SAR) das águas poderia degradar o solo agrícola, especialmente se a aplicação fosse feita à superfície do solo. Uma metodologia para utilização das águas CBM, enquanto são aproveitadas para fins úteis, é a rega gota a gota subsuperficial (SDI), onde águas acidificadas CBM são aplicadas em campos de alfafa durante todo o ano através de tubos enterrados a 0.92 m de profundidade. Foram estudados os efeitos da metodologia num terraço aluvial com a água subterrânea a uma profundidade baixa (∼3 m). O excesso de água de rega causou a elevação do nível freático, tendo mesmo temporariamente atingido a profundidade da tubagem gota a gota. Esta subida do nível da água subterrânea correspondeu a um incremento da salinidade nalguns poços. Três fatores parecem incrementar a salinidade das águas subterrâneas: (1) solutos CBM, concentrados por evapotranspiração, (2) dissolução de gesso, aparentemente potenciada por troca catónica; e (3) dissolução de sais nativos Na–Mg–SO 4, mais solúveis que o gesso. A rega com água com SAR elevada (∼24) incrementou a SAR na pasta saturada do solo até 15 próximo do tubo de rega gota a gota. Importante contudo é que apenas pequenas alterações ocorreram no SAR à superfície. (Portuguese) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - 摘要: 产出水的处理、作为煤层甲烷开采的一部分抽到地表是美国Powder河流域Wyoming州境内部分一个重要的环境问题。水的高钠吸收率可以使农业土地退化,特别是在直接应用于地表的情况下。处理煤层甲烷水的一个方法就是采用地下滴灌,酸化的煤层甲烷水通过埋深0.92 m 的 管滴灌常年种植苜蓿的 土地。研究了该方法对水位相对浅(∼3 m )的冲积阶地的影响。过度的灌溉水引起水位上升,甚至临时可 达到滴灌埋管的深度。水位上升与有些井中的增加的盐度相一致。三个因素似乎增加了地下水中的盐度:(1)蒸腾蒸发后的煤层甲烷溶质;(2)石膏溶解,阳离子明显增加石膏溶解;(3)比石膏更容易溶解的本地Na–Mg–SO 4盐分的溶解。用高钠吸收率 (∼24) 水灌溉可以 使土壤饱和泥状基质高钠吸收率在滴灌埋管附近增加 到15。尽管钠吸收率变化非常大,但在地表几乎没有变化。 (Chinese) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Members of the genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are important in many wastewater treatment systems performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The Accumulibacter lineage can be subdivided phylogenetically into multiple clades, and previous work showed that these clades are ecologically distinct. The complete genome of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain UW-1, a member of Clade IIA, was previously sequenced. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of Candidatus Accumulibacter spp. strain UW-2, a member of Clade IA, assembled following shotgun metagenomic sequencing of laboratory-scale bioreactor sludge. We estimate the genome to be 80-90% complete. Although the two clades share 16S rRNA sequence identity of >98.0%, we observed a remarkable lack of synteny between the two genomes. We identified 2317 genes shared between the two genomes, with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 78.3%, and accounting for 49% of genes in the UW-1 genome. Unlike UW-1, the UW-2 genome seemed to lack genes for nitrogen fixation and carbon fixation. Despite these differences, metabolic genes essential for denitrification and EBPR, including carbon storage polymer and polyphosphate metabolism, were conserved in both genomes. The ANI from genes associated with EBPR was statistically higher than that from genes not associated with EBPR, indicating a high selective pressure in EBPR systems. Further, we identified genomic islands of foreign origins including a near-complete lysogenic phage in the Clade IA genome. Interestingly, Clade IA appeared to be more phage susceptible based on it containing only a single Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats locus as compared with the two found in Clade IIA. Overall, the comparative analysis provided a genetic basis to understand physiological differences and ecological niches of Accumulibacter populations, and highlights the importance of diversity in maintaining system functional resilience.

AB  - Computerized mating programs using genomic information are needed by breed associations, artificial-insemination organizations, and on-farm software providers, but such software is already challenged by the size of the relationship matrix. As of October 2012, over 230,000 Holsteins obtained genomic predictions in North America. Efficient methods of storing, computing, and transferring genomic relationships from a central database to customers via a web query were developed for approximately 165,000 genotyped cows and the subset of 1,518 bulls whose semen was available for purchase at that time. This study, utilizing 3 breeds, investigated differences in sire selection, methods of assigning mates, the use of genomic or pedigree relationships, and the effect of including dominance effects in a mating program. For both Jerseys and Holsteins, selection and mating programs were tested using the top 50 marketed bulls for genomic and traditional lifetime net merit as well as 50 randomly selected bulls. The 500 youngest genotyped cows in the largest herd in each breed were assigned mates of the same breed with limits of 10 cows per bull and 1 bull per cow (only 79 cows and 8 bulls for Brown Swiss). A dominance variance of 4.1 and 3.7% was estimated for Holsteins and Jerseys using 45,187 markers and management group deviation for milk yield. Sire selection was identified as the most important component of improving expected progeny value, followed by managing inbreeding and then inclusion of dominance. The respective percentage gains for milk yield in this study were 64, 27, and 9, for Holsteins and 73, 20, and 7 for Jerseys. The linear programming method of assigning a mate outperformed sequential selection by reducing genomic or pedigree inbreeding by 0.86 to 1.06 and 0.93 to 1.41, respectively. Use of genomic over pedigree relationship information provided a larger decrease in expected progeny inbreeding and thus greater expected progeny value. Based on lifetime net merit, the economic value of using genomic relationships was >$3 million per year for Holsteins when applied to all genotyped females, assuming that each will provide 1 replacement. Previous mating programs required transferring only a pedigree file to customers, but better service is possible by incorporating genomic relationships, more precise mate allocation, and dominance effects. Economic benefits will continue to grow as more females are genotyped. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sixty samples of 'ForagePlus' oat were selected from a previous plot study for analysis of in vitro gas production (IVGP) on the basis of 2 factors: (1) high (n = 29) or low (n = 31) neutral detergent fiber (NDF; 62.7 ± 2.61 and 45.1 ± 3.91%, respectively); and (2) the range of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) within the high- and low-NDF groups. For the WSC selection factor, concentrations ranged from 4.7 to 13.4% (mean = 7.9 ± 2.06%) and from 3.5 to 19.4% (mean = 9.7 ± 4.57%) within high- and low-NDF forages, respectively. Our objectives were to assess the relationships between IVGP and various agronomic or nutritional characteristics for high- and low-NDF fall-oat forages. Cumulative IVGP was fitted to a single-pool nonlinear regression model: Y = MAX x (1 - e [-K x (t - lag)]), where Y = cumulative gas produced (mL), MAX = maximum cumulative gas produced with infinite incubation time (mL), K = rate constant, t = incubation time (h), and lag = discrete lag time (h). Generally, cumulative IVGP after 12, 24, 36, or 48 h within high-NDF fall-oat forages was negatively correlated with NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash, but positively correlated with WSC, nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). For low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, IVGP was positively correlated with growth stage, canopy height, WSC, NFC, and TDN; negative correlations were observed with ash and crude protein (CP) but not generally with fiber components. These responses were also reflected in multiple regression analysis for high- and low-NDF forages. After 12, 24, or 36 h of incubation, cumulative IVGP within high-NDF fall-oat forages was explained by complex regression equations utilizing (lignin:NDF)2, lignin:NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and TDN2 as independent variables (R² ≥ 0.43). Within low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, cumulative IVGP at these incubation intervals was explained by positive linear relationships with NFC that also exhibited high coefficients of determination (R² ≥ 0.75). Gas production was accelerated at early incubation times within low-NDF forages, specifically in response to large pools of WSC that were most likely to be present as forages approached boot stage by late-fall.

AB  - A feeding study was conducted to evaluate ruminal effects of starch source (STA) and rumen-degradable dietary protein (RDP) in diets with added sucrose. The experimental design was an incomplete Latin square with three 21-d periods, 8 ruminally cannulated lactating cows, and a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Treatments were STA (dry ground corn or high-moisture corn) as more slowly and more rapidly fermenting starch sources, respectively, and relative amount of RDP (+RDP: added protein from soybean meal; --RDP: heat-treated expeller soybean product partially substituted for soybean meal). Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and similar in starch and neutral detergent fiber concentrations. Dry matter (DM) intake was 1 kg greater with +RDP compared with --RDP diets. For ruminal digesta measures made 2 h postfeeding, weight of digesta DM was unaffected by treatment; total kilograms of wet digesta and kilograms of liquid tended to be greater with +RDP than with --RDP, and no effect was observed of STA x RDP. Digesta DM percentage was greater with --RDP than with +RDP. At 2 h postfeeding, ruminal pool sizes (mol) of lactate and total AA were larger and those of total organic acids (OA) and ammonia tended to be larger with +RDP than with --RDP; no effects of STA or STA x RDP were detected. Rumen-degradable protein effects on lactate and OA pool sizes may be due to a protein-mediated increase in fermentation rate of carbohydrate. Organic acid concentrations at 2 h postfeeding did not show the same response pattern or significance as the pool size data; high-moisture corn tended to be greater than dry ground corn and no effect was observed for RDP or STA x RDP. Concentration and pool size for OA were more weakly correlated [coefficient of determination (R²) = 0.66] than was the case for other ruminal analytes (R² >0.80). Organic acid pool size and kilograms of digesta liquid were strongly correlated (R² = 0.79), whereas concentration and kilograms of liquid were much less so (R² = 0.21). The correlation of OA moles with kilograms of liquid likely relates to the homeostatic mechanism of water flux across the rumen wall to reduce the osmotic gradient with blood as intraruminal moles of solute change. This action compresses the range of ruminal OA concentrations. With kilograms of ruminal liquid differing across individual measurements, the ruminal OA concentration data are not on the equivalent basis required to be reliably useful for assessing the effect of treatments. Further evaluation of protein effects on carbohydrate fermentation and of methods that allow accurate comparison of treatments for their effect on ruminal OA production are warranted.

AB  - Fevansia aurantiaca is an orange-colored truffle that has been collected infrequently in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. This sequestrate, hypogeous fungus was originally thought to be related to the genera Rhizopogon or Alpova in the Boletales, but the large, inflated cells in the trama and the very pale spore mass easily segregated it from these genera. To date, no molecular phylogenetic studies have determined its closest relatives. F. aurantiaca was originally discovered in leaf litter beneath Pinaceae, leading Trappe and Castellano (Mycotaxon 75:153-179, 2000) to suggest that it is an ectomycorrhizal symbiont of various members of the Pinaceae. However, without direct ecological or phylogenetic data, it is impossible to confirm the trophic mode of this truffle species. In this study, we combined phylogenetic analysis of the ITS and 28S ribosomal DNA with data on microscopic morphology to determine that F. aurantiaca is a member of the Albatrellus ectomycorrhizal lineage (Albatrellaceae, Russulales).

AB  - We measured dynamic stress responses using ambulatory heart rate monitoring as participants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania walked past vacant lots before and after a greening remediation treatment of randomly selected lots. Being in view of a greened vacant lot decreased heart rate significantly more than did being in view of a nongreened vacant lot or not in view of any vacant lot. Remediating neighborhood blight may reduce stress and improve health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study investigated if the type of drinking water source (treated municipal, untreated municipal, and private well water) modifies the effect of hydrology on childhood (aged < 5 years) gastrointestinal illness. Methods. We conducted a time series study to assess the relationship between hydrologic and weather conditions with childhood gastrointestinal illness from 1991 to 2010. The Central and Northern Wisconsin study area includes households using all 3 types of drinking water systems. Separate time series models were created for each system and half-year period (winter/spring, summer/fall). Results. More precipitation (summer/fall) systematically increased childhood gastrointestinal illness in municipalities accessing untreated water. The relative risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness was 1.4 in weeks with 3 centimeters of precipitation and 2.4 in very wet weeks with 12 centimeters of precipitation. By contrast, gastrointestinal illness in private well and treated municipal areas was not influenced by hydrologic conditions, although warmer winter temperatures slightly increased incidence. Conclusions. Our study suggests that improved drinking water protection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure may improve public health by specifically identifying municipal water systems lacking water treatment that may transmit waterborne disease.

AB  - Objectives. We estimated the association between the price of healthy and less-healthy food groups and blood sugar among US adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods. We linked 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey health information to food prices contained in the Quarterly Food-at- Home Price Database. We regressed blood sugar levels on food prices from the previous calendar quarter, controlling for market region and a range of other covariates. We also examined whether the association between food prices and blood sugar varies among different income groups. Results. The prices of produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, higher prices for produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose 3 months later. Food prices had a greater association with blood sugar for low-income people than for higher-income people, and in the expected direction. Conclusions. Higher prices of healthy foods were associated with increased blood sugar among people with type 2 diabetes. The association was especially pronounced among low-income people with type 2 diabetes.

AB  - We examine the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth) project, a transdisciplinary organization tasked with creating a cyberinfrastructure platform to ensure preservation of and access to environmental science and biological science data. Its objective was a difficult one to achieve, requiring innovative solutions. The DataONE project used a working group structure to organize its members. We use organizational discontinuity theory as our lens to understand the factors associated with success in such projects. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from DataONE members, we offer recommendations for the use of working groups in transdisciplinary synthesis. Recommendations include welcome diverse opinions and world views, establish shared communication practices, schedule periodic synchronous face-to-face meetings, and ensure the active participation of bridge builders or knowledge brokers such as librarians who know how to ask questions about disciplines not their own.

AB  - Peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) requires calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) and broiler litter ash (BLA) could be used as Ca and P fertilizer for peanuts. A pot study was conducted to determine the effects of BLA and FGDG on peanut yield and nutrient uptake compared to superphosphate (SP). Peanut kernel yields were 13.5 greater with BLA compared to SP. Kernel Ca concentration was 29% and P was 17% lower in in plants grown on the BLA compared to SP. Because of the high Ca content of the amended soil no significant difference was observed when FGDG was added. Micronutrients in kernel fertilized with BLA and FGDG were similar to superphosphate. The small difference in kernel Ca and P and the low levels of metals in the tissue between the BLA and SP demonstrate that BLA could be used as P source for peanuts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effects of irradiance and temperature on growth and flowering in seed propagated Sinningia cardinalis especially to increase the number of flowers were investigated. To understand the effect of irradiance on flowering and the number of flowers, seedlings were grown under 30% shade (30% SH), natural irradiance (ND), and ND supplemented with 14 h of high irradiance at 14 W/m 2 (ND + 14HID) at 3 stages (ST) lasted for 40 days (d) at each ST (Expt. 1). Flowering was the earliest (205 d) when 20-d old plants were grown under 30% SH during the entire three stages (July 1 through October 31). Longer than 215 d to flower was required when plants received ND + 14HID during stage 3 (ST 3) (September 21–October 31). The number of flowers was highest (22) when grown under 30% SH during ST 1 (July 1–August 10) followed by ND or ND + 14HID during the ST 2 (August 12–September 20) or ST 3. To investigate the effect of temperature on flowering and the number of flowers, 42 d of 15/13 °C (15 °C), 19/17 °C (19 °C), 23/21 °C (23 °C), and 27/25 °C (27 °C) and under ND + 10HDI were given to 45-d old plants (Expt. 2). The number of days to flower was only significantly accelerated at 23° and 27 °C as compared to 15 °C and 19 °C, but not by irradiance treatments. The highest number of flowers (24) was produced when plants were grown at 15 °C under ND + 10HID given prior to formation of three pairs of leaves (<3L). To further refine the level of reduced of light irradiance on the number of flowers, plants were grown under 45% shade (45% SH), 30% shade (30% SH) from 08:00 to 20:00 h, and ND were given to 128-d old plants between days 0 and 20 (0 and 20), 21 and 40, and 0 and 40 (Expt. 3). The number of flowers (17.6) was significantly increased when grown under 45% SH, especially during the 21–40 d period. To investigate the effect of temperature on plants at visible buds stages, plants were transferred to growth chambers maintained at 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 °C during the day (0800–1600 h; 35 W/m 2 ) and at 16 °C at night for 42 d (Expt. 4). Flowering was delayed from 100 to 115 d as day temperatures were increased from 18° to 30 °C, and the number of flowers was the highest number (26.5 flowers) at 24 °C. Therefore, to promote flowering and to increase the flower numbers, S. cardinalis should be grown under 30% SH or under ND photoperiod during May–October. At a later stage of flower bud development, temperature rather than irradiance controls the speed of flowering. The differences in flowering time for only 16 d from sowing to flowering may suggest that S. cardinalis can be considered as a day-neutral plant for flower bud initiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of WGS in identifying resistance genotypes of MDR Escherichia coli and whether these correlate with observed phenotypes. Methods: Seventy-six E. coli strains were isolated from farm cattle and measured for phenotypic resistance to 15 antimicrobials with the Sensititre® system. Isolates with resistance to at least four antimicrobials in three classes were selected for WGS using an Illumina MiSeq. Genotypic analysis was conducted with in-house Perl scripts using BLAST analysis to identify known genes and mutations associated with clinical resistance. Results: Over 30 resistance genes and a number of resistance mutations were identified among the E. coli isolates. Resistance genotypes correlated with 97.8% specificity and 99.6% sensitivity to the identified phenotypes. The majority of discordant results were attributable to the aminoglycoside streptomycin, whereas there was a perfect genotype-phenotype correlation for most antibiotic classes such as tetracyclines, quinolones and phenicols. WGS also revealed information about rare resistance mechanisms, such as structural mutations in chromosomal copies of ampC conferring third-generation cephalosporin resistance. Conclusions: WGS can provide comprehensive resistance genotypes and is capable of accurately predicting resistance phenotypes, making it a valuable tool for surveillance. Moreover, the data presented here showing the ability to accurately predict resistance suggest that WGS may be used as a screening tool in selecting anti-infective therapy, especially as costs drop and methods improve.

AB  - <bold>Objectives: </bold>The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of WGS in identifying resistance genotypes of MDR Escherichia coli and whether these correlate with observed phenotypes.<bold>Methods: </bold>Seventy-six E. coli strains were isolated from farm cattle and measured for phenotypic resistance to 15 antimicrobials with the Sensititre(®) system. Isolates with resistance to at least four antimicrobials in three classes were selected for WGS using an Illumina MiSeq. Genotypic analysis was conducted with in-house Perl scripts using BLAST analysis to identify known genes and mutations associated with clinical resistance.<bold>Results: </bold>Over 30 resistance genes and a number of resistance mutations were identified among the E. coli isolates. Resistance genotypes correlated with 97.8% specificity and 99.6% sensitivity to the identified phenotypes. The majority of discordant results were attributable to the aminoglycoside streptomycin, whereas there was a perfect genotype-phenotype correlation for most antibiotic classes such as tetracyclines, quinolones and phenicols. WGS also revealed information about rare resistance mechanisms, such as structural mutations in chromosomal copies of ampC conferring third-generation cephalosporin resistance.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>WGS can provide comprehensive resistance genotypes and is capable of accurately predicting resistance phenotypes, making it a valuable tool for surveillance. Moreover, the data presented here showing the ability to accurately predict resistance suggest that WGS may be used as a screening tool in selecting anti-infective therapy, especially as costs drop and methods improve.

AB  - Inorganic carbon (IC) in soil is important when considering carbon (C) fluxes and processes in the environment that involve C. Here data are presented for measurement of IC in soils using the pressure-calcimeter method of Sherrod et al. (2002) with modifications to decrease analysis time while preserving method accuracy. Inorganic C measured using a syringe to inject acid vs. the vial delivery method of the original method were not significantly different at the 95 percent confidence level when using 100-ml bottles for the analysis (R2 = 0.9946). When using 20-ml bottles, bias was introduced in the measurement when using a syringe for acid delivery, likely due to small losses of pressure from the bottle during acid delivery. There was no significant difference at the 95 percent confidence level in IC measured on unsieved finely ground and coarsely ground soil. When quantifying IC in soils using the modified pressure calcimeter method with a 100-ml bottle, a syringe can be used to inject acid into the capped bottle rather than dropping a vial into the bottle and then capping it. This modification results in a modest reduction in cost and significant reduction in time required for analysis and cleanup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Conservation genetics and geographic patterns of genetic variation of the vulnerable officinal herb Fritillaria walujewii (Liliaceae).

AB  - The Chinese herb Fritillaria walujewii Regel is an important officinal species that is vulnerable because of over-harvesting. Here, we examined the geographic pattern of genetic variation across the species entire range, to study its evolution process and give implication needed for the conservation. Nine haplotypes were detected on the basis of three chloroplast spacers. The most common haplotype was central in the haplotype network and was distributed widely from the Yili Valley to the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Genetic variation primarily occurred among populations and SAMOVA groups and the analysis of genetic structure showed a significant correlation between genetic and geographical distance. The fragmented distribution of F. walujewii in deep valleys may cause gene-flow barriers among distant populations and, along with genetic drift, has caused high genetic structure in the species. We identified Xinyuan County as the centre of diversification of F. walujewii, and speculated that populations in the eastern Tianshan Mountains were colonised from the Yili Valley. In relation to conservation management, we identified Xinyuan and Zhaosu County as having a high degree of genetic diversity and these should be the areas of the greatest focus for conservation. Population genetics and evolutionary histories of threatened plants need to be understood to establish effective conservation strategies. We studied the genetic patterns of Fritillaria walujewii and found that Xinyuan County is the centre of diversification, and that populations in the eastern Tianshan Mountains were colonised from the Yili Valley. This information will provide prudent management strategies for its recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Carbonaceous solid–water slurry rheology is greatly affected by the surface properties of the carbonaceous solids used. Slurriability studies showed that, for the same solids loading, viscosities of highly hydrophobic petcoke and bitumen–water slurries were approximately one order of magnitude higher than the viscosity of non-hydrophobic Illinois #6 (bituminous) coal–water slurry. Apart from slurriability, the hydrophobicity of the carbonaceous solids was found to influence the type of additives used to reduce the viscosity. Selected to reduce viscosity, the addition of non-ionic additive Triton X-405 caused a drastic reduction in petcoke and bitumen–water slurry viscosities, whereas anionic additive ammonium lignosulfonate reduced Illinois #6 coal–water mixture viscosity more effectively. Optimum particle-size distribution was also found to be dependent on the surface properties of the solids. Experimentally determined optimum particle-size distributions were observed to deviate from the theoretical predictions. A deviation of 8% was noted in the case of Illinois #6 coal–water slurry, whereas deviations of 30% were observed in the case of hydrophobic bitumen and petcoke–water slurries. Viscosity predictions of semi-empirical models were compared to experimentally measured viscosities. The predicted viscosities did not match the experimental results, especially at higher solids loading. A thixotropic model taking into account particle aggregation was found to predict viscosity more accurately in the case of these hydrophobic carbonaceous solid–water slurries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Steadily rising carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere has the potential to increase plant biomass production and reduce plant transpiration in semiarid rangelands. Incorporating results from field CO2-enrichment experiments into process-based simulation models enhances our ability to project climate change impacts on these rangelands. In this study, we added algorithms for computing changes in plant biomass growth and stomatal resistance under elevated [CO2] to the GPFARM-Range (Great Plains Framework for Agricultural Resource Management in Rangelands) model, a newly developed stand-alone software package for rangeland management. The GPFARM-Range model was tested against 5 yr (1997-2001) of soil water and plant biomass data from CO2-enrichment (720 ppm) field experiments conducted in shortgrass steppe in northern Colorado. Simulated results for both peak standing crop biomass and soil water for both ambient and elevated [CO2] treatments had a percent bias within ± 10%, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency ≥ 0.5, and index of agreement > 0.70. The model also captured the observed trend of increased C3 grass biomass and reduced plant transpiration under elevated [CO2]. The model was used to evaluate the separate effectiveness of elevated [CO2] on plant growth rate (C3 grasses only) and stomatal resistance (both C3 and C4 grasses). Two separate simulations showed that increased growth rate and stomatal resistance due to elevated [CO2] enhanced total plant biomass gain (C3 + C4) by 22% and 17%, respectively. The results indicate the algorithms used to simulate the impacts of elevated [CO2] on range plant growth and water use are reliable and can be used to evaluate rangeland production for predicted increases in [CO2], However, further studies are necessary because the reduction in plant transpiration under elevated [CO2] was underestimated, and increase in nitrogen use efficiency due to elevated [CO2] is not included.

AB  - The objective of our analysis is to develop a model of damage costs that arise from collisions between aircraft and birds, based on data drawn from the Federal Aviation Administration National Wildlife Strike Database (NWSD). We develop a two-part model, composed of two separate statistical models, that accounts for the effects of aircraft mass category, engine type, component of the aircraft struck, and the size and number of birds struck. Our results indicate the size of bird, number of birds, and engine ingestions are the largest determinants of strike-related costs. More generally, our result is a model that provides a better understanding of the determinants of damage costs and that can be used to interpolate the substantial amount of missing data on damage costs that currently exists within the NWSD. A more complete accounting of damage costs will allow a better understanding of how damage costs vary geographically and temporally and, thus, enable more efficient allocation of management resources across airports and seasons.

AB  - BACKGROUND Complex environmental models are frequently extrapolated to overcome data limitations in space and time, but quantifying data worth to such models is rarely attempted. The authors determined which field observations most informed the parameters of agricultural system models applied to field sites in Nebraska (NE) and Maryland (MD), and identified parameters and observations that most influenced prediction uncertainty. RESULTS The standard error of regression of the calibrated models was about the same at both NE (0.59) and MD (0.58), and overall reductions in prediction uncertainties of metolachlor and metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid concentrations were 98.0 and 98.6% respectively. Observation data groups reduced the prediction uncertainty by 55-90% at NE and by 28-96% at MD. Soil hydraulic parameters were well informed by the observed data at both sites, but pesticide and macropore properties had comparatively larger contributions after model calibration. CONCLUSIONS Although the observed data were sparse, they substantially reduced prediction uncertainty in unsampled regions of pesticide breakthrough curves. Nitrate evidently functioned as a surrogate for soil hydraulic data in well-drained loam soils conducive to conservative transport of nitrogen. Pesticide properties and macropore parameters could most benefit from improved characterization further to reduce model misfit and prediction uncertainty. Published 2014.

AB  - In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of net radiative fluxes (FNET) at the top of atmosphere (TOA) to 16 selected uncertain parameters mainly related to the cloud microphysics and aerosol schemes in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5). We adopted a quasi- Monte Carlo (QMC) sampling approach to effectively explore the high-dimensional parameter space. The output response variables (e.g., FNET) are simulated using CAM5 for each parameter set, and then evaluated using the generalized linear model analysis. In response to the perturbations of these 16 parameters, the CAM5-simulated global annual mean FNET ranges from -9.8 to 3.5Wm-2 compared to 1.9Wm-2 with the default parameter values. Variance-based sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the relative contributions of individual parameter perturbations to the global FNET variance. The results indicate that the changes in the global mean FNET are dominated by changes in net cloud forcing (CF) within the parameter ranges being investigated. The threshold size parameter related to auto-conversion of cloud ice to snow is identified as one of the most influential parameters for FNET in CAM5 simulations. The strong heterogeneous geographic distribution of FNET variance shows that parameters have a clear localized effect over regions where they are acting. However, some parameters also have non-local impacts on FNET variance. Although external factors, such as perturbations of anthropogenic and natural emissions, largely affect FNET variance at the regional scale, their impact is weaker than that of model internal parameters in terms of simulating global mean FNET. The interactions among the 16 selected parameters contribute a relatively small portion to the total FNET variance over most regions of the globe. This study helps us better understand the parameter uncertainties in the CAM5 model, and thus provides information for further calibrating uncertain model parameters with the largest sensitivity.

AB  - Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and osteoporosis are 2 major public health problems that share common pathophysiologi-cal mechanisms. It is possible that strategies to reduce CVD risk may also benefit bone health. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that adherence to the 2006 American Heart Association Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations (AHA-DLR) is associated with bone health. Design: We previously developed a unique diet and lifestyle score (American Heart Association Diet and Lifestyle Score; AHA-DLS) to assess adherence to the AHA-DLR. In a cross-sectional study of 933 Puerto Ricans aged 47-79 y, we modified the AHA-DLS to test associations with bone health. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck, trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) was measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: For every 5-unit increase in the modified AHA-DLS, BMD at the femoral neck, trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) was associated with a 0.005-0.008-g/cm² (P < 0.05) higher value. No component of the AHA-DLR alone was responsible for the observed positive associations. For every 5-unit increase in the modified AHA-DLS, the odds for osteoporosis or osteopenia at the trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) were lower by 14% (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.92), 17% (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.76, 0.92), and 9% (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.99), respectively. Conclusions: Dietary guidelines for CVD risk reduction may also benefit bone health in this Hispanic cohort. Synchronizing dietary guidelines for these 2 common diseases may provide a simplified public health message. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01231958. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The US dairy industry has realized tremendous improvements in efficiencies and milk production since the 1940s. During this time, farm and total cow numbers have decreased and average herd size has increased. This intensification, combined with the shift to a largely urban public, has resulted in increased scrutiny of the dairy industry by social and environmental movements and increased concern regarding the dairy industry's sustainability. In response to these concerns, a group of scientists specializing in animal welfare, nutrient management, greenhouse gas emissions, animal science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, microbiology, and economics undertook a critical review of the US dairy industry. Although the US dairy system was identified as having significant strengths, the consensus was that the current structure of the industry lacks the resilience to adapt to changing social and environmental landscapes. We identified several factors affecting the sustainability of the US dairy industry, including climate change, rapid scientific and technological innovation, globalization, integration of societal values, and multidisciplinary research initiatives. Specific challenges include the westward migration of milk production in the United States (which is at odds with projected reductions in precipitation and associated limitations in water availability for cattle and crops), and the growing divide between industry practices and public perceptions, resulting in less public trust. Addressing these issues will require improved alignment between industry practices and societal values, based upon leadership from within the industry and sustained engagement with other interested participants, including researchers, consumers, and the general public.

AB  - Both high-fat and low-fat ground beef (percent lean:fat = ca. 70:30 and 93:7, respectively) were inoculated with a 6-strain cocktail of non-O157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) or a five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 7.0 log CFU/g). Patties were pressed (ca. 2.54 cm thick, ca. 300 g each) and then refrigerated (4°C, 18 to 24 h), or frozen (- 18°C, 3 weeks), or frozen (-18°C, 3 weeks) and then thawed (4°C for 18 h or21°C for 10 h) before being cooked on commercial gas or electric grills to internal temperatures of 60 to 76.6°C. For E. coli O157:H7, regardless of grill type or fat level, cooking refrigerated patties to 71.1 or 76.6°C decreased E. coli O157:H7 numbers from an initial level of ca. 7.0 log CFU/g to a final level of ≤ 1.0 log CFU/g, whereas decreases to ca. 1.1 to 3.1 log CFU/g were observed when refrigerated patties were cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 71.1 or 76.6°C, E. coli O157:H7 numbers decreased to ca. 1.7 or ≤0.7 log CFU/g. Likewise, pathogen numbers decreased to ca. 0.7 to 3.7 log CFU/g in patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For STEC, regardless of grill type or fat level, cooking refrigerated patties to 71.1 or 76.6°C decreased pathogen numbers from ca. 7.0 to ≤ 0.7 log CFU/g, whereas decreases to ca. 0.7 to 3.6 log CFU/g were observed when refrigerated patties were cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 71.1 or 76.6°C, STEC numbers decreased to a final level of ca. 1.5 to ≤0.7 log CFU/g. Likewise, pathogen numbers decreased from ca. 7.0 to ca. 0.8 to 4.3 log CFU/g in patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. Thus, cooking ground beef patties that were refrigerated, frozen, or freeze-thawed to internal temperatures of 71.1 and 76.6 C was effective for eliminating ca. 5.1 to 7.0 log CFU of E. coli O157:H7 and STEC per g.

AB  - A posteriori and modified granddaughter designs were applied to determine haplotype effects for Holstein bulls and cows with BovineSNP50 [-50,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP); Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA] genotypes. The a posteriori granddaughter design was applied to 52 sire families, each with ≥100 genotyped sons with genetic evaluations based on progeny tests. For 33 traits (milk, fat, and protein yields; fat and protein percentages; somatic cell score; productive life; daughter pregnancy rate; heifer and cow conception rates; service-sire and daughter calving ease; servicesire and daughter stillbirth; 18 conformation traits; and net merit), the analysis was applied to the autosomal segment with the SNP with the greatest effect in the genomic evaluation of each trait. All traits except 2 had a within-family haplotype effect. The same design was applied with the genetic evaluations of sons corrected for SNP effects associated with chromosomes besides the one under analysis. The number of within-family contrasts was 166 without adjustment and 211 with adjustment. Of the 52 bulls analyzed, 36 had BovineHD (high density; Illumina Inc.) genotypes that were used to test for concordance between sire quantitative trait loci and SNP genotypes; complete concordance was not obtained for any effects. Of the 31 traits with effects from the a posteriori granddaughter design, 21 were analyzed with the modified granddaughter design. Only sires with a contrast for the a posteriori granddaughter design and ≥200 granddaughters with a record usable for genetic evaluation were included. Calving traits could not be analyzed because individual cow evaluations were not computed. Eight traits had within-family haplotype effects. With respect to milk and fat yields and fat percentage, the results on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 14 corresponded to the hypothesis that a missense mutation in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene is the main causative mutation, although other polymorphisms in that gene also modify fat yield and percentage. The positive allele for protein concentration was less frequent, which indicated that selection on that locus could be effective. Although the results can be used to determine causative polymorphisms for most of the analyzed traits, complete DNA sequencing of most of the analyzed sires probably will be required.

AB  - Nixtamalisation is a widely used food processing method in which whole kernel corn is cooked and steeped in alkaline water. It reduces the amount of fumonisin B1 (FB1) that can be detected after cooking. However, the fate of FB1during nixtamalisation is not fully understood and potentially toxic reaction products, including matrix-associated “masked” FB1forms that are not detected by routine analytical methods might remain in nixtamalised corn. To assess how nixtamalisation of whole kernel corn affects fumonisin toxicity, male rats were fed diets containing low, mid or high levels of uncooked (LU, MU, HU) or alkaline cooked (LC, MC, HC) FB1-contaminated corn for 3 weeks. The control diet contained uncontaminated corn only. Apoptotic kidney lesions of the type caused by FB1were not found in the LC or MC groups. Lesions in the group fed HC were minimal and less severe than those found in the rats fed LU, MU or HU. Furthermore, significantly increased sphinganine and sphingosine concentrations indicative of FB1exposure were found in the kidneys of the rats given LU, MU or HU. Concentrations were also elevated, but to a lesser extent, in rats fed HC, whereas sphinganine and sphingosine concentrations in rats given LC or MC did not differ from the control group. FB1concentrations in the LC (0.08 mg kg−1), MC (0.13 mg kg−1) and HC (0.37 mg kg−1) diets were markedly reduced compared with their LU (1.8 mg kg−1), MU (3.5 mg kg−1) and HU (4.2 mg kg−1) counterparts as determined by HPLC (n =  1 analysis/diet). Taken together, the findings show that nixtamalisation is an effective cooking method for reducing the potential toxicity of FB1contaminated corn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The trace element selenium (Se) is required for the biosynthesis of selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid in the genetic code, but its role in the ecology of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is unknown. Here, we examined the role of Se in the biology and ecology of the harmful pelagophyte, Aureococcus anophagefferens, through cell culture, genomic analyses, and ecosystem studies. This organism has the largest and the most diverse selenoproteome identified to date that consists of at least 59 selenoproteins, including known eukaryotic selenoproteins, selenoproteins previously only detected in bacteria, and novel selenoproteins. The A. anophagefferens selenoproteome was dominated by the thioredoxin fold proteins and oxidoreductase functions were assigned to the majority of detected selenoproteins. Insertion of Sec in these proteins was supported by a unique Sec insertion sequence. Se was required for the growth of A. anophagefferens as cultures grew maximally at nanomolar Se concentrations. In a coastal ecosystem, dissolved Se concentrations were elevated before and after A. anophagefferens blooms, but were reduced by >95% during the peak of blooms to 0.05 nM. Consistent with this pattern, enrichment of seawater with selenite before and after a bloom did not affect the growth of A. anophagefferens, but enrichment during the peak of the bloom significantly increased population growth rates. These findings demonstrate that Se inventories, which can be anthropogenically enriched, can support proliferation of HABs, such as A. anophagefferens through its synthesis of a large arsenal of Se-dependent oxidoreductases that fine-tune cellular redox homeostasis.

AB  - The internal erosion of soil pipes can induce pipe collapses that affect soil erosion processes and landform evolution. The objective of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of pipe collapses in agricultural fields of Goodwin Creek watershed. Ground survey was carried out to detect pipe collapses, and the location, size and surface elevation was measured with differential GPS. A total of 143 of the 145 pipe collapses were found in cropland, and the density was approximately 0.58 collapses per hectare. The spatial distribution of pipe collapses was not uniform as pipe collapses were concentrated in the flat alluvial plains where the land use was dominated by cropland. One of the four parcels had 90% of the pipe collapses with a density of 7.7 collapses per hectare. The mean depth, area and volume of these pipe collapses were 0.12 m, 0.34 m2 and 0.02 m3, respectively, and all these properties exhibited a skewed distribution. The drainage area-slope gradient equation, which has been widely used for erosion phenomenon prediction, did not represent pipe collapses in this study as the coefficient of determination was <0.01. This is clear evidence that subsurface flow is not represented by surface topographic characteristics. The pipe collapses were found to intercept runoff, thereby reducing the slope length factor by 6% and the drainage area by 7%. Both of these factors can reduce the sheet and rill erosion; however, the increased subsurface flow could enhance ephemeral gully erosion. Published 2012.

AB  - The Dual Temperature Difference (DTD) model, introduced by Norman et al. (2000), uses a two source energy balance modelling scheme driven by remotely sensed observations of diurnal changes in land surface temperature (LST) to estimate surface energy fluxes. By using a time-differential temperature measurement as input, the approach reduces model sensitivity to errors in absolute temperature retrieval. The original formulation of the DTD required an early morning LST observation (approximately 1 h after sunrise) when surface fluxes are minimal, limiting application to data provided by geostationary satellites at sub-hourly temporal resolution. The DTD model has been applied primarily during the active growth phase of agricultural crops and rangeland vegetation grasses, and has not been rigorously evaluated during senescence or in forested ecosystems. In Hydrology and this paper we present modifications to the DTD model that enable applications using thermal observations frompolar orbiting satellites, such as Terra and Aqua, with day and night overpass times over the area of interest. This allows the application of the DTD model in high latitude regions where large viewing angles preclude the use of geostationary satellites, and also exploits the higher spatial resolution provided by polar orbiting satellites. A method for estimating nocturnal surface fluxes and a scheme for estimating the fraction of green vegetation are developed and evaluated. Modification for green vegetation fraction leads to significantly improved estimation of the heat fluxes from the vegetation canopy during senescence and in forests. When the modified DTD model is run with LST measurements acquired with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) board the Terra and Aqua satellites, generally satisfactory agreement with field measurements is obtained for a number of ecosystems in Denmark and the United States. Finally, regional maps of energy fluxes are produced for the Danish Hydrological ObsErvatory (HOBE) in western Denmark, indicating realistic patterns based on land use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Why do people sometimes use the phrase "natural born leader" when describing some leaders? This paper explores born leadership - the myth, the persona of people viewed to be born leaders, and the conclusions from peer reviewed research of the subject and application for leader development. Use of a Self-assessment tool (Blank, 1994) is proposed to determine where people are cognitively on 108 "Born Leader" skills. Furthermore, it is proposed that the results from the tool can benefit human resource departments in evaluating options for consulting, coaching and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Studied threats to privacy (PR) and ethical aspects of human research in connection with behavioral research programs by examining relevant research in the behavioral sciences and the practices of universities, government agencies, and the scientific community. Most current practices posed no threat to the PR of research Ss. When it is not possible to obtain fully informed consent from research Ss, consent must be based on trust in the scientist and the sponsoring institution. PR must be ensured by the maintenance of confidentiality. Legislation to protect research Ss' PR is not desirable because it may discharge researchers of their responsibilities.

AB  - This study provides a more comprehensive depiction of the environment in which low-income households and other vulnerable populations acquire and purchase food by considering access to emergency food pantries in areas lacking supermarkets. The locations of food pantries were mapped against the map of supermarkets in 47 states and the District of Columbia to identify local areas without supermarkets and the percentage of these areas that have a pantry. Local area population characteristics were used to define subgroups of areas based on poverty level and socioeconomic status of households. The study found that food pantries help to address food access limitations in a sizable percentage of area without supermarkets. About one quarter of census tracts with no supermarkets were found to have at least one food pantry. When considering only high-poverty tracts, 40% of areas without a supermarket had a pantry. The study also found that among areas without supermarkets, pantries tend to be located in areas with higher rates of poverty and lower socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the important role that pantries play in ensuring access to food for low-income American families and also underscore the importance of taking these programs into account when examining the extent of food access limitations.

AB  - Some housing systems on dairy farms can result in long-term chronic pain. The effects of acute pain on immunity have been explored, but chronic pain's influence on immune responses is still poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine chronic effects of flooring on immune responses and production in freestall housing for dairy cows. Thirty heifers were studied from before calving as first-calf heifers until d 180 of their second lactation. Treatments were rubber (Kraiburg; Agromatic Inc., Fond du Lac, WI) flooring or concrete with diamond grooves in a freestall barn, each in 2 quadrants of the barn. Heifers entered the treatments after calving, so the system was dynamic and each cow was considered an experimental unit. At the end of the first lactation, cows were housed in a bedded pack barn with pasture access until calving was imminent. At that time, they returned to their assigned treatment, but not necessarily into the same quadrant. Production, reproduction, cortisol, acute-phase proteins, and health data were recorded throughout lactation 1, locomotion was scored weekly, and hoof scoring and care was conducted on d 60 and 180 of lactations 1 and 2, and quantitative real-time-PCR of blood leukocytes was analyzed in mid lactation of lactation 1. Mature-equivalent milk fat, milk protein, and protein percentages during the first lactation were greater for cows on the rubber flooring. Hoof and leg therapy treatments per cow were fewer for rubber floor-housed cows. Locomotion scores were less for cows housed on rubber during the second lactation. White blood cell counts were less for cows housed on rubber, and caused by greater lymphocyte counts for cows housed on concrete. The possibility of chronic inflammation was substantiated by less IL-1β and more IL-1 receptor antagonists for cows housed on rubber at d 150 in the second lactation. Cortisol and acute-phase proteins did not differ between the treatments. Interferon-γ, IL-12, the modulator of tissue reconstruction (B-cell-transforming growth factor 1), and pain-modulating neurokinin (tachykinin 1) were not different at d 105. These data show indicators of chronic inflammation for cows housed on the concrete flooring compared with those housed on rubber. Implications for the use of rubber flooring in freestall barns are broader than just lameness and may affect many aspects of cow physiology and production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Call rates on both a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) basis and an animal basis are used as measures of data quality and as screening tools for genomic studies and evaluations of dairy cattle. To investigate the relationship of SNP call rate and genotype accuracy for individual SNP, the correlation between percentages of missing genotypes and parent-progeny conflicts for each SNP was calculated for 103,313 Holsteins. Correlations ranged from 0.14 to 0.38 for the BovineSNP50 and BovineLD (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) and GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (Neogen Corp., Lincoln, NE) chips, with lower correlations for newer chips. For US genomic evaluations, genotypes are excluded for animals with a call rate of <90% across autosomal SNP or <80% across X-specific SNP. Mean call rate for 220,175 Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss genotypes was 99.6%. Animal genotypes with a call rate of ≤99% were examined from the US Department of Agriculture genotype database to determine how genotype call rate is related to accuracy of calls on an animal basis. Animal call rate was determined from SNP used in genomic evaluation and is the number of called autosomal and X-specific SNP genotypes divided by the number of SNP from that type of chip. To investigate the relationship of animal call rate and parentage validation, conflicts between a genotyped animal and its sire or dam were determined through a duo test (opposite homozygous SNP genotypes between sire and progeny; 1,374 animal genotypes) and a trio test (also including conflicts with dam and heterozygous SNP genotype for the animal when both parents are the same homozygote; 482 animal genotypes). When animal call rate was ≤80%, parentage validation was no longer reliable with the duo test. With the trio test, parentage validation was no longer reliable when animal call rate was ≤90%. To investigate how animal call rate was related to genotyping accuracy for animals with multiple genotypes, concordance between genotypes for 1,216 animals that had a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (low call rate) as well as a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (high call rate) were calculated by dividing the number of identical SNP genotype calls by the number of SNP that were called for both genotypes. Mean concordance between low- and high-call genotypes was >99% for a low call rate of >90% but decreased to 97% for a call rate of 86 to 90% and to 58% for a call rate of <60%. Edits on call rate reduce the use of incorrect SNP genotypes to calculate genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A 4-unit dual-flow continuous culture fermentor system was used to evaluate the effects of supplementing fresh herbage with a total mixed ration (TMR) or flax-seed on nutrient digestibility, fermentation profile, and bacterial N synthesis. Diets were randomly assigned to fermentors in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Each fermentor was fed a total of 70 g of dry matter/d of 1 of 4 diets: (1) 100% freeze-dried orchardgrass herbage (Dactylis glomerata L.; HERB), (2) 100% freeze-dried TMR (100TMR), (3) 50% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 50% TMR (50TMR), or (4) 90% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 10% ground flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.; FLAX). Preplanned, single degree of freedom orthogonal contrasts were constructed to assess the effects of feeding system (HERB vs. 100TMR), herbage supplementation (HERB vs. 50TMR + FLAX), and herbage supplemental source (50TMR vs. FLAX). Compared with the HERB diet, the 100TMR diet significantly reduced apparent digestibility of neutral detergent fiber. Herbage supplementation with 50TMR or FLAX significantly reduced or tended to reduce apparent digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber, suggesting that replacing high-quality, highly digestible fresh herbage with forage TMR likely caused depressions in nutrient digestibilities. Concentration of total volatile fatty acids, molar proportions of acetate, propionate, and isovalerate, as well as the acetate:propionate ratios were all significantly higher in fermentors fed 100TMR compared with HERB, likely in response to enhanced supply of fermentable energy. In general, feeding system, herbage supplementation, and type of supplementation did not affect N metabolism in the present study. The few significant changes in N metabolism (e.g., flows of total N and non-NH3-N) were primarily linked to increased fermentor N supply with feeding herbage-based diets (HERB and FLAX). Although TMR-based diets decreased nutrient digestibility slightly, TMR offered advantages in bacterial fermentation in relation to volatile fatty acid production, which could potentially translate into better animal performance. Flaxseed shows promise as an alternative supplement for herbage-based diets; however, further in vivo evaluation is needed to determine the optimal level to optimize animal production while reducing feed costs.

AB  - A 3-yr study evaluated the carryover effects of dairy heifer grazing experience on behavior and first-lactation performance as dairy cows. Forty-one Holstein and 23 Holstein-Jersey crossbred calves born between January and April 2008 were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (n = 8 per group, 2 groups per treatment) in a completely randomized design. Treatments were combinations of managing dairy heifers in confinement (CNF) or on pasture (PST): grazed yr 1 and 2 (PSTPST); grazed yr 1, but confined yr 2 (PSTCNF); confined yr 1 and grazed yr 2 (CNFPST); or confined yr 1 and 2 (CNFCNF). After calving, all heifers on all treatments were grazed as cows in yr 3. In yr 1, PSTPST and PSTCNF heifers were grazed for 41 d on Italian ryegrass pastures, whereas CNFPST and CNFCNF were housed in bedded-pack pens and fed a TMR. In yr 2, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers grazed Italian ryegrass pasture for 65 d, whereas PSTCNF and CNFCNF remained in confinement. In yr 2, a mid-trial assessment of heifer grazing behavior was made on PSTPST versus CNFPST heifers. Grazing activities were assessed by visual observation and heifer movement measured by portable global positioning system units. Heifers from all treatment groups subsequently calved between January and April in yr 3. All primiparous cows were then allocated to pastures by treatment group, grazed for 61 d, (May through July) in yr 3, with grazing behavior and milk production evaluated while grazing. In yr 2, heifers on the PSTPST treatment spent more time grazing than heifers on the CNFPST treatment (78 vs. 35% of the time) when first exposed to pasture (d 1). On d 1 to 3, PSTPST heifers walked a greater distance than CNFPST heifers; however, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers had similar daily grazing times and walking patterns after 3 d of pasture exposure in yr 2. As lactating cows (yr 3), cows with no (CNFCNF) grazing experience grazed less on d 1 compared with cows with (PSTPST, PSTCNF, or CNFPST) grazing experience. Day-1 grazing times in yr 3 were 62, 59, 76, and 13% of the times for cows with PSTPST, PSTCNF, CNFPST, and CNFCNF grazing experience, respectively. In yr 3, on d 1 to 3, cows with previous grazing experience as heifers (PSTPST, CNFPST, and PSTCNF) walked a greater distance than cows without previous grazing experience (CNFCNF). Milk production was lowest on d 1 to 3 for cows with no previous grazing experience (CNFCNF), but average daily milk production was not different overall over the 61 d of study in yr 3. Results indicate that grazing experiences as a heifer can affect behavior and milk production during a cow's first days on pasture. After a short acclimation period, dairy cows without grazing experience as heifers developed similar grazing behaviors and performance as cows with grazing experience as heifers.

AB  - Dairy cattle often make poor use of protein when offered diets comprising high proportions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay or silage because nonprotein N formed during forage conservation and ruminal fermentation exceeds requirements for rumen microbial protein synthesis; however, condensed tannins (CT) may reduce proteolysis in the silo and in the rumen, thereby potentially improving the efficiency of crude protein (CP) use in ruminant diets. Two harvests, yielding 12 hays and 12 silages made from alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) that varied in concentrations of CT, were evaluated for in situ disappearance kinetics of CP in 6 ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein dairy cows (627 ± 56.3 kg). Prior to conservation, alfalfa contained no detectable CT, whereas CT in fresh lyophilized birdsfoot trefoil ranged from 1.16 to 2.77% of dry matter, as determined by a modified acetone-butanol-HCl assay. Percentages of CP remaining at each incubation time were fitted to nonlinear regression models with or without a discrete lag time. Effective ruminal disappearance of CP (rumen-degradable protein, RDP) was calculated by 3 procedures that included (1) no discrete lag (RDPNL), (2) discrete lag (RDPL), and (3) discrete lag with a lag adjustment (RDPLADJ). Regardless of the calculation method, RDP declined linearly with increasing CT concentrations (R² = 0.62 to 0.97). Generally, tests of homogeneity showed that conservation type (hay or silage) or harvest (silage only) affected intercepts, but not slopes in regressions of RDP on CT. A positive relationship between lag time and CT suggests that the RDPLADJ approach may be most appropriate for calculating RDP for legumes containing tannins. With this approach, regression intercepts were mainly affected by conservation method, and RDPLADJ averaged 77.5 and 88.7% of CP for hay and silage, respectively, when no CT was present. Greater estimates of RDP for silages were related to extensive proteolysis in laboratory silos resulting in conversions of protein into nonprotein N forms, which readily washed out of Dacron bags. When RDPLADJ and CT were expressed on a CP basis, regression slopes indicated that each unit of CT protected 0.61 units of CP from ruminal degradation in hays and silages. Applying this relationship to a typical mid-maturity forage legume containing 21% CP suggests that a CT concentration of 3.8% of DM would be required to reduce RDP from 81% to a 70% target considered optimal for improving protein utilization and milk yields by dairy cattle.

AB  - Haplotypes are available for 220,671 Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Jersey bulls and cows that received genomic evaluations in August 2012. Differences in least squares means of direct genomic values (DGV) for paternal and maternal haplotypes of Bos taurus autosomes 1, 6, 14, and 18 for lifetime net merit were significant in all but one case. Those chromosomes were chosen to represent cases with and without known quantitative trait loci, and other chromosomes may differ as well. Paternal haplotypes had higher DGV than maternal haplotypes in most cases, and differences were larger when quantitative trait loci were present. Longer chromosomes generally accounted for more variance than shorter chromosomes, and differences among breeds were consistent with known mutations of large effect. For example, Bos taurus autosome 18 accounted for 2.5, 7, and 2.6% of the variance in lifetime net merit for Brown Swiss (BS), Holsteins, and Jerseys, respectively. Distributions of the number of positive DGV inherited from sires and dams were negatively skewed in all breeds, and modes were slightly higher for paternally than maternally derived haplotypes in Holsteins and BS (22 vs. 20 and 22 vs. 21, respectively) and slightly lower in BS (17 vs. 19). Graphical representations of DGV are available to all users through a query on the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (ARS, USDA, Beltsville, MD) web site. Query results were also used to illustrate several quantitative genetic principles using genotype information from real animals. For example, offspring DGV can be compared with parental DGV to demonstrate that a parent transmits the average value of its 2 chromosomes to its progeny. The frequency of DGV with positive and negative values in animals of different ages can be used to show how selection affects allele frequencies. The effect of selection for alleles with large effects versus those with small effects is demonstrated using an animal with undesirable alleles for a marker with a large effect but many desirable alleles for markers with small effects. Strategies for the use of those data in selection programs are being studied, and work is underway to add data on conformation traits to the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Unstable weather, poor drying conditions, and unpredictable rainfall events often place valuable hay crops at risk. Recent research with large round bales composed of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) has shown that these large-bale packages are particularly sensitive to spontaneous heating and dry matter (DM) losses, as well as other undesirable changes with respect to forage fiber, protein, and energy density. Various formulations of organic acids have been marketed as preservatives, normally for use on hays that are not desiccated adequately in the field to facilitate safe bale storage. Our objectives for this study were to (1) evaluate the efficacy of applying a commercial (buffered) propionic acid-based preservative at 3 rates (0, 0.6, and 1.0% of wet-bale weight) to hays baled at 3 moisture concentrations (19.6, 23.8, and 27.4%) on the subsequent storage characteristics and poststorage nutritive value of alfalfa-orchardgrass forages packaged in large rectangular (285-kg) bales, and then (2) evaluate the in vivo digestibility of these hays in growing lambs. Over a 73-d storage period, the preservative was effective at limiting spontaneous heating in these hays, and a clear effect of application rate was observed for the wettest (27.4%) bales. For drier hays, both acid-application rates (1.0 and 0.6%) yielded comparable reductions in heating degree days >30°C relative to untreated controls. Reductions in spontaneous heating could not be associated with improved recovery of forage DM after storage. In this study, most changes in nutritive value during storage were related to measures of spontaneous heating in simple linear regression relationships; this suggests that the modest advantages in nutritive value resulting from acid treatment were largely associated with perturbations of normal heating patterns during bale storage. Although somewhat erratic, apparent digestibilities of both DM (Y = -0.0080x + 55.6; R² = 0.45) and organic matter (Y = -0.0085x + 55.5; R² = 0.53) evaluated in growing lambs were also directly related to heating degree days in simple linear relationships. Based on these data, applying propionic acid-based preservatives to large rectangular bales is likely to provide good insurance against spontaneous heating during storage, as well as modest benefits with respect to nutritive value and digestibility.

AB  - Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cake (PCSC) that was heated and oil largely removed by an experimental extrusion process, compared with upland cottonseed (UCS) and Pima cottonseed (PCS). The PCS had greater crude protein (CP) and ether extract, less neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), similar total gossypol, but higher (-)-gossypol isomer compared with UCS. Extrusion reduced lipid content by 73%, increased concentrations of CP, NDF, and ADF, and reduced total gossypol, (+)-gossypol, and (-)-gossypol in PCSC versus PCS. Forty lactating Holsteins (8 with ruminal cannulas) were blocked by days in milk into 5 squares in a replicated, incomplete 8 x 8 Latin square, and were fed diets containing, on a dry matter (DM) basis, 30% alfalfa silage, 31% corn silage, 21 to 25% high-moisture corn, and about 15% CP. Diets were fed as total mixed rations for ad libitum intake. Supplemental CP was from (1) solvent soybean meal (SSBM) only or 50% from SSBM plus 50% from (2) UCS, (3) PCS, (4) PCSC, (5) UCS plus PCS, and (6) UCS plus PCSC, or (7) 50% from expeller soybean meal (ESBM) plus 50% from PCS, and (8) 50% from ESBM plus 50% from PCSC. Periods were 4 wk long (total of 16 wk); production data were collected over the last 2 wk and blood and ruminal samples were taken on d 28 of each period. Data were analyzed using Proc Mixed of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Diet affected dry matter intake, with greatest intake on diet 6 and lowest intake on diets 1 and 3. The highest milk fat content was observed on diet 5 and the greatest fat yield on diet 7; fat content and yield were lowest on diet 1 (soybean meal control). Milk fat secretion was proportional to dietary fat content, indicating that cottonseed oil was used effectively for milk fat synthesis. We observed a trend for an effect on milk protein yield with the greatest protein secretion occurring on diet 7. Milk urea was lowest on diets 3, 7, and 8. Ruminal concentrations of branched-chain volatile fatty acids were lower, or tended to be lower, when PCSC replaced either UCS or PCS in the diet, suggesting reduced degradation and increased escape of PCSC protein. Among cottonseed-containing diets, total gossypol intake was lowest on PCSC, intermediate on PCS, and highest on UCS. Total gossypol and both (+)- and (-)-isomers of gossypol were higher in blood plasma on PCS and lower on PCSC than on the corresponding diets containing UCS, indicating that the extrusion process reduced gossypol absorption. In this trial, production on diets supplemented with UCS, PCS, or PCSC was comparable to that on diets containing soybean meal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective was to conduct a study to investigate if violative meat residues are detected in very young bob veal calves that are fed first-milking colostrum harvested from cows that were dry treated, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine. First-milking colostrum was collected from cows that were given intramammary treatment at dry off, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine (ToMORROW, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc., St. Joseph, MO). Newborn bull calves meeting study inclusion criteria were removed from their dams shortly after birth and before suckling, and assigned to 1 of 2 trials. For the first trial, 6 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of a plasma-derived colostrum replacer (Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer, VitaPlus Inc., Madison, WI) within 1 h after birth. For the second trial, 5 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer within 1 h after birth. All calves were humanely euthanized at 24 h (trial 1) or 48 h (trial 2) of age, and tissues were harvested for antimicrobial residue testing. Samples of maternal colostrum and colostrum replacer were also submitted for antimicrobial residue testing. Kidneys collected from all study calves tested negative for cephapirin benzathine residues when using both the KIS assay (Charm Sciences, Lawrence, MA) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The potential transfer of cephapirin from cows treated on-label at dry off to calves via colostrum may not be a significant source of cephapirin residues in veal tissues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The female sex pheromone has potential a s a control tool for the Brown Treesnake,Boiga irregularisMerrem, a pest introduced into Guam. We conducted male-guided bioassays to determine whether potency of the female pheromone varied according to reproductive state and during vitellogenesis. In weekly simultaneous choice tests, we presented males with skin lipid samples from vitellogenic females, non-vitellogenic females, conspecific males, and carrier controls. The total time each sample was tongue-flicked was recorded: mean total tongue-flick time was highest for samples from vitellogenic females followed by samples from non-vitellogenic females. Pair-wise comparisons of male tongue-flick time for samples of non-vitellogenic females versus males and vitellogenic females versus non-vitellogenic females revealed differences in some weeks, but the greatest and most frequent differences were between vitellogenic females versus males. We observed no trend in the potency of the pheromone during vitellogenesis. Pheromone potency was greatest during vitellogenesis, with lesser potency retained while non-reproductive. Efforts at chemical identification of the pheromone and development of control tools should focus on material obtained from vitellogenic females. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Over the past two decades, highly virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have emerged and spread rapidly in man, suggesting a selective advantage based on virulence. A similar scenario has not been described for Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle (i.e. bovine tuberculosis). An epidemiological investigation of a recent outbreak of bovine tuberculosis in a USA dairy indicated that the causative strain of M. bovis (strain 10-7428) was particularly virulent, with rapid spread within the herd. In the present study, the virulence of this strain (10-7428) was directly compared in the target host with a well-characterized strain (95-1315) of relevance to the USA bovine tuberculosis eradication programme. Aerosol inoculation of 104 colony forming units of M. bovis 95-1315 (n=8) or 10-7428 (n=8) resulted in a similar distribution and severity of gross and microscopical lesions of tuberculosis as well as mycobacterial colonization, primarily affecting the lungs and lung-associated lymph nodes. Specific cell-mediated and antibody responses, including kinetics of the response, as well as antigen recognition profiles, were also comparable between the two treatment groups. Present findings demonstrate that M. bovis strains 95-1315 and 10-7428 have similar virulence when administered to cattle via aerosol inoculation. Other factors such as livestock management practices likely affected the severity of the outbreak in the dairy.

N2  - Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are an invasive species in the United States. The dramatic increase in their populations in localized areas has led to various problems, among them competition with native species and attacks on humans by aggressive swans. However, very little is known about the ability of these swans to transmit pathogens to humans, domestic birds, or wildlife or participate in enzootic maintenance. To learn more about select pathogens that mute swans may harbor, a survey was conducted from April of 2011 to August of 2012 in the Great Lakes region and localized areas of the Atlantic coast, which revealed serologic evidence of arbovirus exposure in mute swans. Of 497 mute swans tested, antibodies were detected for eastern equine encephalitis (4.8%), St. Louis encephalitis (1.4%), West Nile (1.2%), and Turlock (0.6%) viruses. Samples were also tested for evidence of antibodies to La Crosse virus, but none were positive.

N2  - Background and aims: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a candidate gene for obesity based on its role in triglyceride hydrolysis and the partitioning of fatty acids towards storage or oxidation. Whether dietary fatty acids modify LPL associated obesity risk is unknown. Methods and results: We examined five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs320, rs2083637, rs17411031, rs13702, rs2197089) for potential interaction with dietary fatty acids for obesity traits in 1171 participants (333 men and 838 women, aged 45-75 y) of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (BPRHS). In women, SNP rs320 interacted with dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for body mass index (BMI) (P=0.002) and waist circumference (WC) (P=0.001) respectively. Higher intake of PUFA was associated with lower BMI and WC in homozygotes of the major allele (TT) (P=0.01 and 0.005) but not in minor allele carriers (TG and GG). These interactions were replicated in an independent population, African American women of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (n=1334). Conclusion: Dietary PUFA modulated the association of LPL rs320 with obesity traits in two independent populations. These interactions may be relevant to the dietary management of obesity, particularly in women.

N2  - Combining multiple genetic variants related to obesity into a genetic risk score (GRS) might improve identification of individuals at risk of developing obesity. Moreover, characterizing gene-diet interactions is a research challenge to establish dietary recommendations to individuals with higher predisposition to obesity. Our objective was to analyze the association between an obesity GRS and body mass index (BMI) in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) population, focusing on gene-diet interactions with total fat and saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake, and to replicate findings in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) population. Cross-sectional analyses included 783 white US participants from GOLDN and 2,035 from MESA. Dietary intakes were estimated with validated food frequency questionnaires. Height and weight were measured. A weighted GRS was calculated on the basis of 63 obesity-associated variants. Multiple linear regression models adjusted by potential confounders were used to examine gene-diet interactions between dietary intake (total fat and SFA) and the obesity GRS in determining BMI. Significant interactions were found between total fat intake and the obesity GRS using these variables as continuous for BMI (P for interaction=0.010, 0.046, and 0.002 in GOLDN, MESA, and meta-analysis, respectively). These association terms were stronger when assessing interactions between SFA intake and GRS for BMI (P for interaction=0.005, 0.018, and &lt;0.001 in GOLDN, MESA, and meta-analysis, respectively). SFA intake interacts with an obesity GRS in modulating BMI in two US populations. Although determining the causal direction requires further investigation, these findings suggest that potential dietary recommendations to reduce BMI effectively in populations with high obesity GRS would be to reduce total fat intake mainly by limiting SFAs.

N2  - Vernonia oil is obtained by extraction from Vernonia galamensis seeds. It is a triglyceride containing 70-80% vernolic acid (12,13-epoxy-9-decenoic acid). With approximately three epoxy groups per molecule, vernonia oil is a good raw material for new product development and many derivatives have been reported. In this work we report for the first time direct polymerization of vernonia oil through cationic means. The reaction entails the use of fluorosulfonic acid as a catalyst and 25-35°C. Depending on the level of acid catalyst used, the products can range from a viscous oil to a completely insoluble resin. These products have been characterized by NMR and FT-IR. The polymer may perhaps find applications as a thickener in lubricants and oil-based commercial formulations.

N2  - Objective: To test the hypotheses that interventions clearly based on theory, multiple theories, or a formal intervention planning process will be more effective in changing fruit and vegetable consumption among children than interventions with no behavioral theoretical foundation. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Identification of articles in PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cochrane Collaborative database, and existing literature reviews and meta-analyses. Participants: Children aged 2-18 years. Interventions: Change in fruit and/or vegetable consumption in dietary change interventions. Methods: Meta-analysis, meta-regression analysis, and summary reporting for articles. Conclusions and Implications: Predicating an intervention on behavioral theory had a small to moderate enhancement (P&lt;.001) of outcome effectiveness. Differences in mean Hedges' g effect sizes between theory and non-theory interventions were 0.232 for fruit, 0.043 for vegetables, and 0.333 for fruit and vegetables combined. There was mixed support, however, for enhanced dietary change with multiple theories or a formal planning process. After controlling for study quality, theory use was related only to vegetable consumption (β=0.373; P&lt;.001). More research is needed on theory's influences on dietary behaviors to guide future interventions among children. More research is also needed to identify what may be effective practical- or experience-based procedures that complement theory, to incorporate into interventions.

N2  - Objective: To evaluate whether premature infants who received an exclusive human milk (HM)-based diet and a HM-derived cream supplement (cream) would have weight gain (g/kg/d) at least as good as infants receiving a standard feeding regimen (control). Study design: In a prospective noninferiority, randomized, unmasked study, infants with a birth weight 750-1250 g were randomly assigned to the control or cream group. The control group received mother's own milk or donor HM with donor HM-derived fortifier. The cream group received a HM-derived cream supplement if the energy density of the HM tested &lt;20 kcal/oz using a near infrared HM analyzer. Infants were continued on the protocol until 36 weeks postmenstrual age. Primary outcomes included growth velocities and amount of donor HM-derived fortifier used. The hypothesis of noninferiority was established if the lower bound of the one-sided 95% CI for the difference in weight velocities exceeded -3 g/kg/day. Results: There were no differences between groups in baseline demographics for the 78 infants studied except racial distribution (P=.02). The cream group (n=39) had superior weight (14.0±2.5 vs 12.4±3.0 g/kg/d, P=.03) and length (1.03±0.33 vs 0.83±0.41 cm/wk, P=.02) velocity compared with the control group (n=39). There were no significant differences in amount of fortifier used between study groups. The 1-sided 95% lower bound of the CI for the difference in mean velocity (cream-control) was 0.38 g/kg/d. Conclusions: Premature infants who received HM-derived cream to fortified HM had improved weight and length velocity compared with the control group. HM-derived cream should be considered an adjunctive supplement to an exclusive HM-based diet to improve growth rates in premature infants.

N2  - We investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with selenium on spontaneous metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma in mice fed a high-fat diet. Mice were fed a low-fat diet or that diet modified with 45% of calories from corn oil and supplemented with 0 or 2.5 mg selenium/4029 kcal as methylseleninic acid. After 6 weeks, mice were each injected 2.5×105 Lewis lung carcinoma cells subcutaneously. The resulting primary tumor was removed surgically 10 days later; the experiment was terminated after an additional 10 days. High-fat feeding increased pulmonary metastases by 17% compared to the low-fat diet (P&lt;0.01). Selenium supplementation reduced the metastases by 11% compared to nonsupplemented controls (P&lt;0.05); the reduction was less for animals fed the high-fat diet (5%) than for those fed the low-fat diet (18%). Supplemental Se lowered plasma concentrations of proteases (urokinase plasminogen activator, P&lt;0.01; matrix metalloproteinase-9, P&lt;0.05) and angiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor, P&lt;0.01; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, P&lt;0.01) compared to nonsupplemented controls. High-fat feeding increased plasma concentrations of adipokines plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and leptin regardless of the level of dietary selenium; supplemental selenium lowered plasma concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (P≤0.05) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (P≤0.05) in low-fat fed mice but not in high-fat fed mice. These results indicate that consumption of a high-fat diet abrogated the antimetastatic effects of selenium by increasing the expression of adipose-derived inflammatory cytokines.

N2  - Baylisascaris procyonis is a common roundworm of raccoons that causes severe clinical disease in many vertebrates, including humans. The distribution of B. procyonis in the US is poorly documented in portions of its range and has not been reported from Wyoming. Our objectives were to determine the statewide distribution and prevalence of this parasite in raccoons in Wyoming, using intestinal and fecal examinations. We examined 363 raccoons from 23 Wyoming counties in 2009-11, testing the reliability of two methods (intestinal extrusion and incision) to determine worm burdens. We found 163 raccoons (45%) positive for B. procyonis. The two methods of examination did not differ, although extrusion missed some infections. Neither age nor sex affected apparent prevalence or worm burdens. Prevalence did not differ with land use, yet burden was highest among rural raccoons. Fecal examination revealed that juvenile raccoons had a higher proportion of patent infections than adults, but neither sex nor location were indicators of prevalence. Egg density (eggs per gram of feces) did not differ by sex or age; however, rural raccoons had higher egg densities than urban/suburban animals. Understanding the distribution and prevalence of B. procyonis in Wyoming, especially in and around highly populated areas, is an important step in educating the general public and medical community on the potential risks of raccoon roundworm infection.

N2  - Multiple field studies conducted for the Deployed War-Fighter Protection (DWFP) research program have generated more than 80 specific guidance points for innovative combinations of pesticide application equipment, pesticide formulations, and application techniques for aerosol and residual pesticide treatments in 6 ecological regions against a range of mosquito, sand fly, and filth fly nuisance and disease-vector threats. To synthesize and operationalize these DWFP field and laboratory efficacy data we developed an interactive iOS and Android mobile software application, the Pesticide App, consisting of specific pesticide application guidance organized by environment and target insect vector species.

N2  - Introduction: Park amenities promote visitation and physical activity during summer. Physical activity declines during winter. Identifying park amenities that promote visitation during winter would increase year-round activity. The purpose of this study was to determine how park visitation, amenity choice, and physical activity intensity change across seasons. Methods: Physical activity intensity of children and adults was assessed at 16 parks in Grand Forks, North Dakota, during summer and fall of 2012, and winter and spring of 2013. Results: Park visitation was highest in spring and lowest in winter. Amenity use varied by season. Parks with water splash pads were visited more during summer, and playgrounds and open spaces were visited more during spring. Ice rinks were visited most in winter. Physical activity intensity was lowest in summer and highest in winter for each age group. The activity intensity observed for all young age groups ranged from 2.7 to 2.9 metabolic equivalents in summer and greater than 3 metabolic equivalents in all other seasons. Adults' mean activity intensity was greater than 3 metabolic equivalents in winter. Conclusion: Information on park visitation, amenity use, and activity intensity across seasons is valuable; it can be used when designing or redesigning parks in order to promote year-round physical activity. Redesigning parks in cold climates to include ice rinks, sledding hills, cross-country skiing, and indoor areas for physical activity would increase winter visitation and allow the park to serve as a year-round resource for physical activity.

N2  - Objectives. We compared sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), alcohol, and other caloric beverage (juice and milk) consumption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants with that of low-income nonparticipants. Methods. We used 1 day of dietary intake data from the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 4594 adults aged 20 years and older with household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty line. We used bivariate and multivariate methods to compare the probability of consuming and the amount of calories consumed for each beverage type across 3 groups: current SNAP participants, former participants, and nonparticipants. We used instrumental variable methods to control for unobservable differences in participant groups. Results. After controlling for observable characteristics, SNAP participants were no more likely to consume SSBs than were nonparticipants. Instrumental variable estimates showed that current participants consumed fewer calories from SSBs than did similar nonparticipants. We found no differences in alcoholic beverage consumption, which cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits. Conclusions. SNAP participants are not unique in their consumption of SSBs or alcoholic beverages. Purchase restrictions may have little effect on SSB consumption.

N2  - OBJECTIVE: Oral vaccine efficacy is low in less-developed countries, perhaps due to intestinal dysbiosis. This study determined if stool microbiota composition predicted infant oral and parenteral vaccine responses. METHODS: The stool microbiota of 48 Bangladeshi infants was characterized at 6, 11, and 15 weeks of age by amplification and sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene V4 region and by Bifidobacterium-specific, quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Responses to oral polio virus (OPV), bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), tetanus toxoid (TT), and hepatitis B virus vaccines were measured at 15 weeks by using vaccine-specific T-cell proliferation for all vaccines, the delayed-type hypersensitivity skin-test response for BCG, and immunoglobulin G responses using the antibody in lymphocyte supernatant method for OPV, TT, and hepatitis B virus. Thymic index (TI) was measured by ultrasound. RESULTS: Actinobacteria (predominantly Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis) dominated the stool microbiota, with Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes increasing by 15 weeks. Actinobacteria abundance was positively associated with T-cell responses to BCG, OPV, and TT; with the delayed-type hypersensitivity response; with immunoglobulin G responses; and with TI. B. longum subspecies infantis correlated positively with TI and several vaccine responses. Bacterial diversity and abundance of Enterobacteriales, Pseudomonadales, and Clostridiales were associated with neutrophilia and lower vaccine responses. CONCLUSIONS: Bifidobacterium predominance may enhance thymic development and responses to both oral and parenteral vaccines early in infancy, whereas deviation from this pattern, resulting in greater bacterial diversity, may cause systemic inflammation (neutrophilia) and lower vaccine responses. Vaccine responsiveness may be improved by promoting intestinal bifidobacteria and minimizing dysbiosis early in infancy.

N2  - Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of bubonic plague. Though not considered a foodborne pathogen, Y. pestis can survive, and even grow, in some foods, and the foodborne route of transmission is not without precedent. As such, concerns exist over the possible intentional contamination of foods with this deadly pathogen. Here we report the inactivation of avirulent (pYV-minus) strains of Y. pestis by ultraviolet light (UV-C, 254 nm). Two strains of Y. pestis containing an intact pgm virulence locus (pgm+) and strains from which the pgm locus was spontaneously deleted (Δpgm) were tested using cells grown in both logarithmic and stationary phase. The D10 values for inactivation (the UV-C dose required to inactivate one log of bacterial cells) of Y. pestis on the surface of agar plates ranged from 0.69 to 1.09 mJ/cm2. A significant difference was observed between the inactivation of cells of Y. pestis strain Yokohama grown in logarithmic and stationary phases, but no significant difference between growth phase sensitivity to UV-C was observed in Y. pestis strain Kuma. No difference in D10 values was observed between pgm+ and Δpgm strains of Yokohama grown to either logarithmic or stationary phase. A measurable difference was observed between the D10 of Kuma pgm+ and Kuma Δpgm grown in logarithmic phase, but this difference was diminished in the Kuma strains grown to stationary phase. Though strain variations exist, the results showing that UV-C can inactivate Y. pestis cells on agar surfaces suggest that UV-C would be effect in inactivating Y. pestis on food surfaces, particularly foods with a smooth surface.

N2  - We previously reported significantly different acid resistance between curli variants derived from the same Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain, although the curli fimbriae were not associated with this phenotypic divergence. Here we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism by examining the genes encoding the common transcriptional regulators of curli biogenesis and acid resistance. rpoS null mutations were detected in all curli-expressing variants of the 2006 spinach-associated outbreak strains, whereas a wild-type rpoS was present in all curli-deficient variants. Consequently curli-expressing variants were much more sensitive to various stress challenges than curli-deficient variants. This loss of general stress fitness appeared solely to be the result of rpoS mutation since the stress resistances could be restored in curli-expressing variants by a functional rpoS. Comparative transcriptomic analyses between the curli variants revealed a large number of differentially expressed genes, characterized by the enhanced expression of metabolic genes in curli-expressing variants, but a marked decrease in transcription of genes related to stress resistances. Unlike the curli-expressing variants of the 1993 US hamburger-associated outbreak strains (Applied Environmental Microbiology 78: 7706-7719), all curli-expressing variants of the 2006 spinach-associated outbreak strains carry a functional rcsB gene, suggesting an alternative mechanism governing intra-strain phenotypic divergence in E. coli O157:H7.

N2  - The relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin and visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan is compelling. There is a variety of evidence to support a role for lutein and zeaxanthin in vision. Lutein's role in cognition has only recently been considered. Lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are taken up selectively into eye tissue. Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in human brain tissue. Lutein and zeaxanthin in neural tissue may have biological effects that include antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and structural actions. In addition, lutein and zeaxanthin may be protective against eye disease because they absorb damaging blue light that enters the eye. In pediatric brains, the relative contribution of lutein to the total carotenoids is twice that found in adults, accounting for more than half the concentration of total carotenoids. The greater proportion of lutein in the pediatric brain suggests a need for lutein during neural development as well. In adults, higher lutein status is related to better cognitive performance, and lutein supplementation improves cognition. The evidence to date warrants further investigation into the role of lutein and zeaxanthin in visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan.

N2  - Introduction - The diversity of structure and, particularly, stereochemical variation of the dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids can present challenges for analysis and the isolation of pure compounds for the preparation of analytical standards and for toxicology studies. Objective - To investigate methods for the separation of gram-scale quantities of the epimeric dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids lycopsamine and intermedine and to compare their NMR spectroscopic data with those of their heliotridine-based analogues echinatine and rinderine. Methods - Lycopsamine and intermedine were extracted, predominantly as their N-oxides and along with their acetylated derivatives, from commercial samples of comfrey (Symphytum officinale) root. Alkaloid enrichment involved liquid-liquid partitioning of the crude methanol extract between dilute aqueous acid and n-butanol, reduction of N-oxides and subsequent continuous liquid-liquid extraction of free base alkaloids into CHCl3. The alkaloid-rich fraction was further subjected to semi-automated flash chromatography using boronated soda glass beads or boronated quartz sand. Results - Boronated soda glass beads (or quartz sand) chromatography adapted to a Biotage Isolera Flash Chromatography System enabled large-scale separation (at least up to 1-2 g quantities) of lycopsamine and intermedine. The structures were confirmed using one- and two-dimensional 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Examination of the NMR data for lycopsamine, intermedine and their heliotridine-based analogues echinatine and rinderine allowed for some amendments of literature data and provided useful comparisons for determining relative configurations in monoester dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids. A similar NMR comparison of lycopsamine and intermedine with their N-oxides showed the effects of N-oxidation on some key chemical shifts. A levorotatory shift in specific rotation from +3.29° to -1.5° was observed for lycopsamine when dissolved in ethanol or methanol respectively. Conclusion - A semi-automated flash chromatographic process using boronated soda glass beads was standardised and confirmed as a useful, larger scale preparative approach for separating the epimers lycopsamine and intermedine. The useful NMR correlations to stereochemical arrangements within this specific class of dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloid cannot be confidently extrapolated to other similar dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids.

N2  - The "quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe" (QuEChERS) approach to sample preparation is widely applied in pesticide residue analysis, but the use of magnesium sulfate and other nonvolatile compounds for salting out in the method is not ideal for mass spectrometry. In this study, we developed and evaluated three new different versions of the QuEChERS method using more volatile salts (ammonium chloride and ammonium formate and acetate buffers) to induce phase separation and extraction of 43 representative pesticide analytes of different classes. Fast low-pressure gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LPGC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS were used for analysis. The QuEChERS AOAC Official Method 2007.01 was also tested for comparison purposes. Of the studied methods, formate buffering using 7.5 g of ammonium formate and 15 mL of 5% (v/v) formic acid in acetonitrile for the extraction of 15 g of sample (5 g for wheat grain) provided the best performance and practical considerations. Method validation was carried out with and without the use of dispersive solid-phase extraction for cleanup, and no significant differences were observed for the majority of pesticides. The method was demonstrated in quantitative analysis for GC- and LC-amenable pesticides in 4 representative food matrices (apple, lemon, lettuce, and wheat grain). With the typical exceptions of certain pH-dependent and labile pesticides, 90-110% recoveries and &lt;10% RSD were obtained. Detection limits were mostly &lt;5 ng/g, which met the general need to determine pesticide concentrations as low as 10 ng/g for monitoring purposes in food applications.

N2  - The high obesity rates and poor diet quality in the United States, particularly among low income populations, are often attributed to low income, low food access, and high food prices of healthy foods. This paper discusses these associations and questions some of the metrics used to measure food prices. The paper argues that 1. On average, Americans consume diets that need improvement and there is only a very limited relationship between income and diet quality; 2. The way the food price is measured makes a difference in the perception of how expensive healthy and less healthy food is; 3. The way Americans allocate their food budgets between healthy and less healthy foods is not in line with healthy diets; and 4. At any food spending level there are households that purchase healthy (and unhealthy) diets, including budgets at or below the maximum allotment for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which provides a means for low-income households to purchase food. Our key finding is that healthy foods and diets are affordable, but policy makers, nutrition educators, researchers and the media need to focus on promoting this message, and providing additional guidance on making the changes for Americans to switch to a healthy and affordable diet.

N2  - The detonation of a nuclear device in a US city would be catastrophic. Enormous loss of life and injuries would characterize an incident with profound human, political, social, and economic implications. Nevertheless, most responders have not received sufficient training about ionizing radiation, principles of radiation safety, or managing, diagnosing, and treating radiation-related injuries and illnesses. Members throughout the health care delivery system, including medical first responders, hospital first receivers, and health care institution support personnel such as janitors, hospital administrators, and security personnel, lack radiation-related training. This lack of knowledge can lead to failure of these groups to respond appropriately after a nuclear detonation or other major radiation incident and limit the effectiveness of the medical response and recovery effort. Efficacy of the response can be improved by getting each group the information it needs to do its job. This paper proposes a sustainable training strategy for spreading curricula throughout the necessary communities. It classifies the members of the health care delivery system into four tiers and identifies tasks for each tier and the radiation-relevant knowledge needed to perform these tasks. By providing education through additional modules to existing training structures, connecting radioactive contamination control to daily professional practices, and augmenting these systems with just-in-time training, the strategy creates a sustainable mechanism for giving members of the health care community improved ability to respond during a radiological or nuclear crisis, reducing fatalities, mitigating injuries, and improving the resiliency of the community.

N2  - An aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract oil from wheat germ. Wheat germ pretreatment, effect of various industrial enzymes, pH, wheat germ to water ratio, reaction time and effect of various methods of demulsification, were investigated. Pretreatment at 180°C in a conventional oven for 4 min reduced the moisture 12.8-2.2% and significantly increased the oil yield. Adding a combination of protease (Fermgen) and cellulase (Spezyme CP) resulted in a 72% yield of emulsified oil from wheat germ (both commercial and laboratory milled wheat germ). Using the same oil extraction conditions optimized for wheat germ, yields of 51 and 39% emulsified oil were obtained from barley germ (laboratory milled), and rice bran, respectively. Three physical demulsification methods (heating, freeze-thawing, and pH adjustment) and enzymatic methods (Protex 6 L, Protex 7 L, Alcalase, Fermgen, Lysomax and G-zyme 999) were compared. After demulsification with Protex 6 L, free oil yields of 63.8 and 59.5% were obtained with commercial wheat germ and with laboratory milled wheat germ, respectively. Using the same demulsification conditions optimized for wheat germ, yields of 45.7% emulsified oil and 35% free oil were obtained for barley germ and rice bran, respectively.

N2  - Micronutrient requirements are well-established for healthy full-term infants. However, few such recommendations exist for high-risk infants, including full-term infants with a variety of medical disorders or very preterm infants. Key micronutrients considered in this review are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and zinc. The ongoing unresolved shortages, especially of intravenous forms of these minerals, remain a major problem. Considered are some aspects of how the nutrient shortages may be managed, recognizing the complexity and changing nature of the supply.

N2  - Dysregulation in the circadian system induced by variants of clock genes has been associated with type 2 diabetes. Evidence for the role of cryptochromes, core components of the system, in regulating glucose homeostasis is not supported by CRY1 candidate gene association studies for diabetes and insulin resistance in human, suggesting possible dietary influences. The purpose of this study was to test for interactions between a CRY1 polymorphism, rs2287161, and carbohydrate intake on insulin resistance in two independent populations: a Mediterranean (n=728) and an European origin North American population (n=820). Linear regression interaction models were performed in two populations to test for gene-diet interactions on fasting insulin and glucose and two insulin-related traits, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI). In addition, fixed effects meta-analyses for these interactions were performed. Cohort-specific interaction analyses showed significant interactions between the CRY1 variant and dietary carbohydrates for insulin resistance in both populations (p&lt;0.05). Findings from the meta-analyses of carbohydrate-single nucleotide polymorphism interactions indicated that an increase in carbohydrate intake (% of energy intake) was associated with a significant increase in HOMA-IR (p=0.011), fasting insulin (p=0.007) and a decrease in QUICKI (p=0.028), only among individuals homozygous for the minor C allele. This novel finding supports the link between the circadian system and glucose metabolism and suggests the importance this CRY1 locus in developing personalized nutrition programs aimed at reducing insulin resistance and diabetes risk.

N2  - Introduction: Effective strategies are needed to reach and treat people who lack awareness of or have uncontrolled hypertension. We used data from a community-based participatory research initiative, Hub City Steps, to quantify the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and determine the relationship between hypertension status at baseline and postintervention improvements in blood pressure and health-related quality of life. Methods: Hub City Steps was a 6-month preintervention-postintervention lifestyle intervention targeting hypertension risk factors. Outcome measures were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Generalized linear mixed models were used to test for effects by time and hypertension status. Results: Of the enrolled sample (N=269), most were overweight or obese (91%), African American (94%), and women (85%). When considering hypertension status, 42% had self-reported diagnosis of hypertension (self-reported subgroup; 84% with antihypertensive medication use); 36% had no self-reported medical history of hypertension, but when blood pressure was measured they had a clinical diagnosis of prehypertension or hypertension (undiagnosed subgroup); and 22% had no self-reported or clinical hypertension diagnosis (no hypertension subgroup). From baseline to 6 months, systolic blood pressure significantly improved for participants with self-reported hypertension [8.2 (SD, 18.2) mm Hg] and undiagnosed hypertension [12.3 (SD, 16.3) mm Hg], with undiagnosed participants experiencing the greatest improvements (P&lt;.001). Effects remained significant after controlling for covariates. Health-related quality of life significantly improved for all 3 hypertension subgroups, with no apparent subgroup differences. Conclusion: This study reveals advantages of a culturally appropriate community-based participatory research initiative to reach those with undetected hypertension and effectively improve blood pressure status and health-related quality of life.

N2  - An acidic plant pectin methylesterase from Ficus awkeotsang achenes (Fa PME) was used to demethylesterify a model homogalacturonan (HG) at pH 4.5 and 7.5. Introduced demethylesterified blocks (DMBs) were released by a limited endo-polygalacturonase (EPG) digestion, separated and quantified by HPAEC. The average DMB size (BS) and number of such blocks per molecule (BN) differed depending on the degree of methylesterification (DM) and reaction pH (P&lt;0.05). Significant increases in BS and BN were observed in HGs of 30% DM compared to higher DMs. HGs demethylesterified to 30% and 50% DM at pH 4.5 showed significantly larger BS compared to pH 7.5. Absolute degree of blockiness (DBabs), obtained using exhaustive EPG digestions, displayed a linear relationship with the DM regardless of reaction pH (P&lt;0.001). The distribution of DMBs released by the limited EPG digest was predicted by mathematical modeling and compared with the experimental results. The in silico modeled enzyme mode of action suggested that a random, multiple chain, non-processive mode of action best explains the distributions of small blocks (BS≥11) and a processive multiple attack mechanism best explains the distributions of longer blocks. Decreasing the DM of the HGs by the Fa PME increased the G′ and G″ of calcium-mediated gels. Pearson's correlation displayed significant correlation coefficients between BS, BN, DBabs, DM, and G′. The results suggest the possibility to control BS and to produce a uniform population of demethylesterified pectin molecules, particularly in acidic environments where most basic plant PMEs are less active.

N2  - Mammary gland (MG) de novo lipogenesis contributes significantly to milk fat in animals but little is known in humans. Objective: To test the hypothesis that the incorporation of 13C carbons from [U-13C]glucose into fatty acids (FA) and glycerol in triglycerides (TG) will be greater: (1) in milk than plasma TG, (2) during a high-carbohydrate (H-CHO) diet than high-fat (H-FAT) diet, and (3) during feeding than fasting. Seven healthy, lactating women were studied on two isocaloric, isonitrogenous diets. On one occasion, subjects received diets containing H-FAT or H-CHO diet for 1 wk. Incorporation of 13C from infused [U-13C]glucose into FA and glycerol was measured using GC-MS and gene expression in RNA isolated from milk fat globule using microarrays. Incorporation of 13C2 into milk FA increased with increased FA chain length from C2:0 to C12:0 but progressively declined in C14:0 and C16:0 and was not detected in FA&gt;C16. During feeding, regardless of diets, enrichment of 13C2 in milk FA and 13C3 in milk glycerol were ~3- and ~7-fold higher compared with plasma FA and glycerol, respectively. Following an overnight fast during H-CHO and H-FAT diets, 25 and 6%, respectively, of medium-chain FA (MCFA, C6-C12) in milk were derived from glucose but increased to 75 and 25% with feeding. Expression of genes involved in FA or glycerol synthesis was unchanged regardless of diet or fast/fed conditions. The human MG is capable of de novo lipogenesis of primarily MCFA and glycerol, which is influenced by the macronutrient composition of the maternal diet.

N2  - Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a cause of respiratory disease in cattle worldwide. It has an integral role in enzootic pneumonia in young dairy calves and summer pneumonia in nursing beef calves. Furthermore, bovine RSV infection can predispose calves to secondary bacterial infection by organisms such as Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni, resulting in bovine respiratory disease complex, the most prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality among feedlot cattle. Even in cases where animals do not succumb to bovine respiratory disease complex, there can be long-term losses in production performance. This includes reductions in feed efficiency and rate of gain in the feedlot, as well as reproductive performance, milk production, and longevity in the breeding herd. As a result, economic costs to the cattle industry from bovine respiratory disease have been estimated to approach $1 billion annually due to death losses, reduced performance, and costs of vaccinations and treatment modalities. Human and bovine RSV are closely related viruses with similarities in histopathologic lesions and mechanisms of immune modulation induced following infection. Therefore, where appropriate, we provide comparisons between RSV infections in humans and cattle. This review article discusses key aspects of RSV infection of cattle, including epidemiology and strain variability, clinical signs and diagnosis, experimental infection, gross and microscopic lesions, innate and adaptive immune responses, and vaccination strategies.

N2  - Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important crop grown worldwide for food and edible oil. The surge of peanut allergy in the past 25 years has profoundly impacted both affected individuals and the peanut and related food industries. In response, several strategies to mitigate peanut allergy have emerged to reduce/eliminate the allergenicity of peanuts or to better treat peanut-allergic individuals. In this review, we give an overview of peanut allergy, with a focus on peanut proteins, including the impact of thermal processing on peanut protein structure and detection in food matrices. We discuss several strategies currently being investigated to mitigate peanut allergy, including genetic engineering, novel processing strategies, and immunotherapy in terms of mechanisms, recent research, and limitations. All strategies are discussed with considerations for both peanut-allergic individuals and the numerous industries/government agencies involved throughout peanut production and utilization.

N2  - The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the maintenance of white adipose tissue (WAT) architecture and function, and proper ECM remodeling is critical to support WAT malleability to accomodate changes in energy storage needs. Obesity and adipocyte hypertrophy place a strain on the ECM remodeling machinery, which may promote disordered ECM and altered tissue integrity and could promote proinflammatory and cell stress signals. To explore these questions, new methods were developed to quantify omental and subcutaneous WAT tensile strength and WAT collagen content by three-dimensional confocal imaging, using collagen VI knockout mice as a methods validation tool. These methods, combined with comprehensive measurement of WAT ECM proteolytic enzymes, transcript, and blood analyte analyses, were used to identify unique pathophenotypes of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese women, using multivariate statistical modeling and univariate comparisons with weight-matched healthy obese individuals. In addition to the expected differences in inflammation and glycemic control, approximately 20 ECM-related factors, including omental tensile strength, collagen, and enzyme transcripts, helped discriminate metabolically compromised obesity. This is consistent with the hypothesis that WAT ECM physiology is intimately linked to metabolic health in obese humans, and the studies provide new tools to explore this relationship.

N2  - We study the effects of the property tax base shock caused by natural gas drilling in the Barnett Shale in Texas--a state that taxes oil and gas wells as property. Over the boom and bust in drilling, housing appreciation closely followed the oil and gas property tax base, which expanded the total tax base by 23 percent at its height. The expansion led to a decline in property tax rates while maintaining or increasing revenues to schools. Overall, each $1 per student increase in the oil and gas property tax base increased the value of the typical home by $0.15. Some evidence suggests that the cumulative density of wells nearby may lower housing values, indicating that drilling could reduce local welfare without policies to increase local public revenues.

N2  - Land value tax has been thoroughly scrutinized as a potential tool in mitigating urban sprawl. However, most studies that have measured the impact of land value tax on land development have focused mainly either on purely new development on vacant land, or on land development on partially developed land such as subdivision development. This study tries to incorporate these two types of residential development conceptually and empirically to make an accurate assessment of the impact of land value tax on land development.

N2  - Following a period of poor performance in the 1990s, India's agricultural growth rate has reaccelerated in the 2000s. Some believe the reacceleration has been a product of intensified investment, which in turn has spurred yield growth. Others suggest it is because India's newly wealthy citizens have demanded greater product diversification. To examine these hypotheses, we use growth accounting techniques in conjunction with more complete agricultural production data than in past studies to construct state, regional, and national output, input, and total factor productivity quantity indexes, which can be decomposed into their underlying sources. Sectoral performance evaluation suggests that, since 1980, output growth has diffused away from the northern "grain belt" and toward high-value agriculture in traditionally less-productive regions. Productivity growth, rather than resource use, has accounted for these geographical and intensity shifts. The growth burst has not, as the literature has primarily argued, been uniquely explainable by yield growth or product diversification but by a variety of factors, including area expansion. For example, the contributions of irrigation technologies permitting double-cropping have until now been largely ignored.

N2  - Many U.S. states have been considering proposals to introduce mandatory labeling requirements for foods containing GMOs. This paper analyzes precinct-level voting patterns in the case of California's Proposition 37, which was narrowly defeated in the November 2012 ballot. Those voting patterns can be predicted primarily by support for Democrats, their platforms, and President Obama. Projections using our estimated model imply that a majority of voters in only three of fifty states (Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Vermont) plus the District of Columbia would have passed Proposition 37 had it been on their ballots in 2012.

N2  - This article provides a means for testing whether buyers or sellers are responsible for a drop in sales following a market shock. We show that suppliers' responses dominated the market reaction to the 2006 US Food and Drug Administration warning to avoid fresh spinach contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7. A modified Durbin-Wu-Hausman test for temporary price endogeneity is developed and used in a leafy green vegetable demand model. Test results indicate the price of bagged spinach was exogenous before the announcement but endogenous for approximately 12 weeks afterward. We show these results are consistent with the notion that suppliers temporarily limited the availability of spinach to consumers. Instead of consumers choosing the quantity purchased given exogenous prices, it was suppliers who limited the quantity marketed and consumers' choices established the market price.

N2  - Transaction costs may be a barrier to participation in USDA conservation programs. Data on perceived barriers and transaction costs from the 2012 USDA Agricultural Resources Management Survey of soybean farmers were analyzed. Of farmers who had not applied for programs, almost a third agreed that applying for programs and documenting compliance (perceived transaction costs) were barriers to participation. The measured magnitudes of transaction costs of those who did apply varied by program but do not seem particularly onerous and are lower than in European studies. Regression analysis indicates that complexity of the program and the farming system may increase transaction costs.

AB  - The role of exhibition swine in influenza A virus transmission was recently demonstrated by >300 infections with influenza A(H3N2) variant viruses among individuals who attended agricultural fairs. Through active influenza A virus surveillance in US exhibition swine and whole-genome sequencing of 380 isolates, we demonstrate that exhibition swine are actively involved in the evolution of influenza A viruses, including zoonotic strains. First, frequent introduction of influenza A viruses from commercial swine populations provides new genetic diversity in exhibition pigs each year locally. Second, genomic reassortment between viruses cocirculating in exhibition swine increases viral diversity. Third, viral migration between exhibition swine in neighboring states demonstrates that movements of exhibition pigs contributes to the spread of genetic diversity. The unexpected frequency of viral exchange between commercial and exhibition swine raises questions about the understudied interface between these populations. Overall, the complexity of viral evolution in exhibition swine indicates that novel viruses are likely to continually reemerge, presenting threats to humans.

AB  - Using solution31P NMR spectroscopy, we compared three extractants, deionized water, sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) with fresh sodium dithionite (NaAc-SD), and 0.25 M NaOH–0.05 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (NaOH-EDTA), for the profile of P compounds in two dairy fecal samples. Phosphorus extracted was 35 percent for water and 80–100 percent for NaAc-SD and NaOH-EDTA. Water extracted a greater proportion of organic P forms, particularly orthophosphate diesters, but a lower proportion of orthophosphate relative to NaOH-EDTA and NaAc-SD. Phosphorus recoveries and spectra were generally similar for NaOH-EDTA and NaAc-SD, but there was increased degradation of polyphosphate to pyrophosphate with NaOH-EDTA, and water, for one sample relative to NaAc-SD. For studies characterizing and quantifying all the P forms in manure and fecal samples, these results suggest that either NaOH-EDTA or NaAc-SD would be a good choice. However, extraction with water may be a better choice for studies monitoring labile manure P and potential environmental impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants synthesizes a variety of structural and defence compounds, and is an important target in efforts to reduce cell wall lignin for improved biomass conversion to biofuels. Little is known concerning the trade-offs in grasses when perturbing the function of the first gene family in the pathway, PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE (PAL). Therefore, PAL isoforms in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon were targeted, by RNA interference (RNAi), and large reductions (up to 85%) in stem tissue transcript abundance for two of the eight putative BdPAL genes were identified. The cell walls of stems of BdPAL-knockdown plants had reductions of 43% in lignin and 57% in cell wall-bound ferulate, and a nearly 2-fold increase in the amounts of polysaccharide-derived carbohydrates released by thermo-chemical and hydrolytic enzymic partial digestion. PAL-knockdown plants exhibited delayed development and reduced root growth, along with increased susceptibilities to the fungal pathogens Fusarium culmorum and Magnaporthe oryzae. Surprisingly, these plants generally had wild-type (WT) resistances to caterpillar herbivory, drought, and ultraviolet light. RNA sequencing analyses revealed that the expression of genes associated with stress responses including ethylene biosynthesis and signalling were significantly altered in PAL knocked-down plants under non-challenging conditions. These data reveal that, although an attenuation of the phenylpropanoid pathway increases carbohydrate availability for biofuel, it can adversely affect plant growth and disease resistance to fungal pathogens. The data identify notable differences between the stress responses of these monocot pal mutants versus Arabidopsis (a dicot) pal mutants and provide insights into the challenges that may arise when deploying phenylpropanoid pathway-altered bioenergy crops.

AB  - In Agave tequilana, reproductive failure or inadequate flower development stimulates the formation of vegetative bulbils at the bracteoles, ensuring survival in a hostile environment. Little is known about the signals that trigger this probably unique phenomenon in agave species. Here we report that auxin plays a central role in bulbil development and show that the localization of PIN1-related proteins is consistent with altered auxin transport during this process. Analysis of agave transcriptome data led to the identification of the A. tequilana orthologue of PIN1 (denoted AtqPIN1) and a second closely related gene from a distinct clade reported as 'Sister of PIN1' (denoted AtqSoPIN1). Quantitative real-time reverse transcription--PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis showed different patterns of expression for each gene during bulbil formation, and heterologous expression of the A. tequilana PIN1 and SoPIN1 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana con- firmed functional differences between these genes. Although no free auxin was detected in induced pedicel samples, changes in the levels of auxin precursors were observed. Taken as a whole, the data support the model that AtqPIN1 and AtqSoPIN1 have co-ordinated but distinct functions in relation to auxin transport during the initial stages of bulbil formation.

AB  - 1-Methylcycloprene (1-MCP) is a commercially available chemical used for the treatment of flowers or fruits to retard their ripening and thus prolong their shelf-life. The main difficulties associated are it's handling and control release on purpose as 1-MCP is a gas at ambient temperature, which limits its’ broad spectrum of application. In this present study, we synthesized four boron derivatives of methylene cyclopropane (MCP) which are stable at ambient conditions and capable of releasing 1-MCP gradually in contact with water depending on their reaction rates. These or similar compounds will offer better controlled delivery of 1-MCP than the existing technology, selective application, cost effective multi-batch treatment option and more importantly has the potential to be used in open fields to increase the crop yields around the globe. Open field application of 1-MCP can be a solution to protect crops from drought conditions, where higher crop yields are restricted due to inadequate amounts or unequal distribution of rain fall. Investigated complexes could be modified with the replacement of different alkyl or aryl groups and thus generating more complexes to explore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Orbiviruses are members of the Reoviridae family and include bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). These viruses are the cause of significant regional disease outbreaks among livestock and wildlife in the United States, some of which have been characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Competent vectors are clearly present in most regions of the globe; therefore, all segments of production livestock are at risk for serious disease outbreaks. Animals with subclinical infections also serve as reservoirs of infection and often result in significant trade restrictions. The economic and explicit impacts of BTV and EHDV infections are difficult to measure, but infections are a cause of economic loss for producers and loss of natural resources (wildlife). In response to United States Animal Health Association (USAHA) Resolution 16, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), in collaboration with the Department of the Interior (DOI), organized a gap analysis workshop composed of international experts on Orbiviruses. The workshop participants met at the Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research Unit in Manhattan, KS, May 14-16, 2013, to assess the available scientific information and status of currently available countermeasures to effectively control and mitigate the impact of an outbreak of an emerging Orbivirus with epizootic potential, with special emphasis given to BTV and EHDV. In assessing the threats, workshop participants determined that available countermeasures are somewhat effective, but several weaknesses were identified that affect their ability to prevent and control disease outbreaks effectively.

AB  - Although recognized as causing emerging and re-emerging disease outbreaks worldwide since the late 1800s, there has been growing interest in the United States and Europe in recent years in orbiviruses, their insect vectors, and the diseases they cause in domestic livestock and wildlife. This is due, in part, to the emergence of bluetongue (BT) in northern Europe in 2006-2007 resulting in a devastating outbreak, as well as severe BT outbreaks in sheep and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) outbreaks in deer and cattle in the United States. Of notable concern is the isolation of as many as 10 new BT virus (BTV) serotypes in the United States since 1999 and their associated unknowns, such as route of introduction, virulence to mammals, and indigenous competent vectors. This review, based on a gap analysis workshop composed of international experts on orbiviruses conducted in 2013, gives a global perspective of current basic virological understanding of orbiviruses, with particular attention to BTV and the closely related epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), and identifies a multitude of basic virology research gaps, critical for predicting and preventing outbreaks.

AB  - Gossypium hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing to its complex allotetraploid (AtDt) genome. Here we produce a draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences assisted by fivefold BAC-to-BAC sequences and a high-resolution genetic map. In our assembly 88.5% of the 2,173-Mb scaffolds, which cover 89.6%∼96.7% of the AtDt genome, are anchored and oriented to 26 pseudochromosomes. Comparison of this G. hirsutum AtDt genome with the already sequenced diploid Gossypium arboreum (AA) and Gossypium raimondii (DD) genomes revealed conserved gene order. Repeated sequences account for 67.2% of the AtDt genome, and transposable elements (TEs) originating from Dt seem more active than from At. Reduction in the AtDt genome size occurred after allopolyploidization. The A or At genome may have undergone positive selection for fiber traits. Concerted evolution of different regulatory mechanisms for Cellulose synthase (CesA) and 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase1 and 3 (ACO1,3) may be important for enhanced fiber production in G. hirsutum.

AB  - Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement. Here we sequenced the allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1 genome by integrating whole-genome shotgun reads, bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-end sequences and genotype-by-sequencing genetic maps. We assembled and annotated 32,032 A-subgenome genes and 34,402 D-subgenome genes. Structural rearrangements, gene loss, disrupted genes and sequence divergence were more common in the A subgenome than in the D subgenome, suggesting asymmetric evolution. However, no genome-wide expression dominance was found between the subgenomes. Genomic signatures of selection and domestication are associated with positively selected genes (PSGs) for fiber improvement in the A subgenome and for stress tolerance in the D subgenome. This draft genome sequence provides a resource for engineering superior cotton lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) is an economically important pest of palm trees in the subtropics. Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo-Crivelli) Vuillemin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae), has been shown to be pathogenic against R. ferrugineus in laboratory and field studies. However, because they remain inside the trunks until adulthood, the slowing of feeding and increases in mortality of internally feeding R. ferrugineus larvae over time after B. bassiana treatment has not been established. To explore the potential of acoustic methods to assess treatment effects, sound impulses produced by untreated, 104-, and 106-conidia ml-1 B. bassiana-treated larvae in palms were recorded for 23 d, after which the palms were dissected and the larvae examined. Analyses were performed to identify trains of impulses with characteristic patterns (bursts) produced frequently by moving and feeding larvae but only rarely (3-8% of the larval rate) by interfering background noise or tree vibrations. The rates of bursts, the counts of larval impulses per burst, and the rates of impulses in bursts decreased significantly over time in both B. bassiana treatments but not in the control. This supports a hypothesis that larvae had briefer movement and feeding bouts as they became weaker after infection, which reduced the counts of larval impulses per burst, the rates of bursts, and the rates of impulses in bursts. There is considerable potential for use of acoustic methods as tools for nondestructive assessment of effects of biological control treatments against internally feeding insect pests.

AB  - Intense hurricanes disturb many tropical forests, but the key mechanisms driving post-hurricane forest changes are not fully understood. In Puerto Rico, we used a replicated factorial experiment to determine the mechanisms of forest change associated with canopy openness and organic matter (debris) addition. Cascading effects from canopy openness accounted for most of the shifts in the forest biota and biotic processes, which included increased plant recruitment and richness, as well as the decreased abundance and diversity of several animal groups. Canopy opening decreased litterfall and litter moisture, thereby inhibiting lignin-degrading fungi, which slowed decomposition. Debris addition temporarily increased tree basal area. Elevated soil solution nitrate was a dominant response after past hurricanes; this effect only occurred in our experiment with simultaneous canopy-opening and debris treatments. Although debris is an important carbon and nutrient source, shortterm responses to cyclonic storms appear to be largely driven by canopy opening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many tropical rain forest regions are at risk of increased future drought. The net effects of drought on forest ecosystem functioning will be substantial if important ecological thresholds are passed. However, understanding and predicting these effects is challenging using observational studies alone. Field-based rainfall exclusion (canopy throughfall exclusion; TFE) experiments can offer mechanistic insight into the response to extended or severe drought and can be used to help improve model-based simulations, which are currently inadequate. Only eight TFE experiments have been reported for tropical rain forests. We examine them, synthesizing key results and focusing on two processes that have shown threshold behavior in response to drought: (1) tree mortality and (2) the efflux of carbon dioxdie from soil, soil respiration. We show that: (a) where tested using large-scale field experiments, tropical rain forest tree mortality is resistant to long-term soil moisture deficit up to a threshold of 50% of the water that is extractable by vegetation from the soil, but high mortality occurs beyond this value, with evidence from one site of increased autotrophic respiration, and (b) soil respiration reaches its peak value in response to soil moisture at significantly higher soil moisture content for clay-rich soils than for clay-poor soils. This first synthesis of tropical TFE experiments offers the hypothesis that low soil moisture-related thresholds for key stress responses in soil and vegetation may prove to be widely applicable across tropical rain forests despite the diversity of these forests.

AB  - Historically, point estimates such as the median lethal concentration (LC50) have been instrumental in assessing risks associated with toxicants to rare or economically important species. In recent years, growing awareness of the shortcomings of this approach has led to an increased focus on analyses using population endpoints. However, risk assessment of pesticides still relies heavily on large amounts of LC50 data amassed over decades in the laboratory. Despite the fact that these data are generally well replicated, little or no attention has been given to the sometime high levels of variability associated with the generation of point estimates. This is especially important in agroecosystems where arthropod predator-prey interactions are often disrupted by the use of pesticides. Using laboratory derived data of 4 economically important species (2 fruit fly pest species and 2 braconid parasitoid species) and matrix based population models, the authors demonstrate in the present study a method for bridging traditional point estimate risk assessments with population outcomes. The results illustrate that even closely related species can show strikingly divergent responses to the same exposures to pesticides. Furthermore, the authors show that using different values within the 95% confidence intervals of LC50 values can result in very different population outcomes, ranging from quick recovery to extinction for both pest and parasitoid species. The authors discuss the implications of these results and emphasize the need to incorporate variability and uncertainty in point estimates for use in risk assessment.

AB  - Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis is one of the most commonly reported causes of human salmonellosis. Its low genetic diversity, measured by fingerprinting methods, has made subtyping a challenge. We used whole-genome sequencing to characterize 125 S. enterica Enteritidis and 3 S. enterica serotype Nitra strains. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were filtered to identify 4,887 reliable loci that distinguished all isolates from each other. Our whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism typing approach was robust for S. enterica Enteritidis subtyping with combined data for different strains from 2 different sequencing platforms. Five major genetic lineages were recognized, which revealed possible patterns of geographic and epidemiologic distribution. Analyses on the population dynamics and evolutionary history estimated that major lineages emerged during the 17th-18th centuries and diversified during the 1920s and 1950s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Agricultural fairs provide an opportunity for bidirectional transmission of influenza A viruses. We sought to determine influenza A virus activity among swine at fairs in the United States. As part of an ongoing active influenza A virus surveillance project, nasal swab samples were collected from exhibition swine at 40 selected Ohio agricultural fairs during 2012. Influenza A(H3N2) virus was isolated from swine at 10 of the fairs. According to a concurrent public health investigation, 7 of the 10 fairs were epidemiologically linked to confirmed human infections with influenza A(H3N2) variant virus. Comparison of genome sequences of the subtype H3N2 isolates recovered from humans and swine from each fair revealed nucleotide identities of >99.7%, confirming zoonotic transmission between swine and humans. All influenza A(H3N2) viruses isolated in this study, regardless of host species or fair, were >99.5% identical, indicating that 1 virus strain was widely circulating among exhibition swine in Ohio during 2012.

AB  - Reports of Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) detected in marine environments have occurred since the early 1990s. This investigation sought to isolate and characterize S. aureus from marine waters and sand at a subtropical recreational beach, with and without bathers present, in order to investigate possible sources and to identify the risks to bathers of exposure to these organisms. During 40 days over 17 months, 1,001 water and 36 intertidal sand samples were collected by either bathers or investigators at a subtropical recreational beach. Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA were isolated and identified using selective growth media and an organism-specific molecular marker. Antimicrobial susceptibility, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec) type, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern, multi-locus sequence type (MLST), and staphylococcal protein A ( spa) type were characterized for all MRSA. S. aureus was isolated from 248 (37 %) bather nearby water samples at a concentration range of <2-780 colony forming units per ml, 102 (31 %) ambient water samples at a concentration range of <2-260 colony forming units per ml, and 9 (25 %) sand samples. Within the sand environment, S. aureus was isolated more often from above the intertidal zone than from intermittently wet or inundated sand. A total of 1334 MSSA were isolated from 37 sampling days and 22 MRSA were isolated from ten sampling days. Seventeen of the 22 MRSA were identified by PFGE as the community-associated MRSA USA300. MRSA isolates were all SCC mec type IVa, encompassed five spa types (t008, t064, t622, t688, and t723), two MLST types (ST8 and ST5), and 21 of 22 isolates carried the genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin. There was a correlation ( r = 0.45; p = 0.05) between the daily average number of bathers and S. aureus in the water; however, no association between exposure to S. aureus in these waters and reported illness was found. This report supports the concept that humans are a potential direct source for S. aureus in marine waters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen of significant threat to public health. Nisin is the only bacteriocin that can be used as a food preservative. Due to its antimicrobial activity, it can be used to control L. monocytogenes in food; however, the antimicrobial mechanism of nisin activity against L. monocytogenes is not fully understood. The CtsR (class III stress gene repressor) protein negatively regulates the expression of class III heat shock genes. A spontaneous pressure-tolerant ctsR deletion mutant that showed increased sensitivity to nisin has been identified. Microarray technology was used to monitor the gene expression profiles of the ctsR mutant under treatments with nisin. Compared to the nisin-treated wild type, 113 genes were up-regulated (>2-fold increase) in the ctsR deletion mutant whereas four genes were down-regulated (<−2-fold decrease). The up-regulated genes included genes that encode for ribosomal proteins, membrane proteins, cold-shock domain proteins, translation initiation and elongation factors, cell division, an ATP-dependent ClpC protease, a putative accessory gene regulator protein D, transport and binding proteins, a beta-glucoside-specific phosphotransferase system IIABC component, as well as hypothetical proteins. The down-regulated genes consisted of genes that encode for virulence, a transcriptional regulator, a stress protein, and a hypothetical protein. The gene expression changes determined by microarray assays were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR analyses. Moreover, an in-frame deletion mutant for one of the induced genes ( LMOf2365_1877) was constructed in the wild-type L. monocytogenes F2365 background. Δ LMOf2365_1877 had increased nisin sensitivity compared to the wild-type strain. This study enhances our understanding of how nisin interacts with the ctsR gene product in L. monocytogenes and may contribute to the understanding of the antibacterial mechanisms of nisin.

AB  - National statistics indicate that children and youth are less likely to be food insecure than adults in the same household. However, these statistics are based on adult proxy reports of children's food security, and the accuracy of those reports has not been verified. This study compares self-reported personal food insecurity of youth (ages 12–17) and adults in the same or similar households using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Youth are found to be considerably less likely to be food insecure than adults in the same household, and the youth–adult difference is greater when food insecurity is assessed at a severe level. The findings are consistent with qualitative research findings that parents in food insecure households attempt to shield their children and youth from the effects of the household's food insecurity.

AB  - A measure of frequent or persistent food insecurity is calculated from responses to follow-up questions in the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement that asked respondents how often each indicator or food insecurity occurred. Cross-classification of households by the Frequent Food Insecurity Scale and the standard “ever-during-the-year” scale provides a richer picture of the prevalence of various temporal patterns of food insecurity than can be provided by the current standard measures. Determinants of frequent or persistent food insecurity are found to differ somewhat from the determinants of food insecurity at any time during the year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We identified several HLB-induced citrus small RNAs that can be potentially developed into early diagnostic markers of HLB. Induction of miR399 by Las led to the discovery that HLB-positive trees suffer from phosphorus starvation. Applying phosphorus solutions help reduce HLB symptoms.Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating citrus disease that is associated with bacteria of the genus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ (Ca. L.). Powerful diagnostic tools and management strategies are desired to control HLB. Host small RNAs (sRNA) play a vital role in regulating host responses to pathogen infection and are used as early diagnostic markers for many human diseases, including cancers. To determine whether citrus sRNAs regulate host responses to HLB, sRNAs were profiled from Citrus sinensis 10 and 14 weeks post grafting with Ca. L. asiaticus (Las)-positive or healthy tissue. Ten new microRNAs (miRNAs), 76 conserved miRNAs, and many small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were discovered. Several miRNAs and siRNAs were highly induced by Las infection, and can be potentially developed into early diagnosis markers of HLB. miR399, which is induced by phosphorus starvation in other plant species, was induced specifically by infection of Las but not Spiroplasma citri that causes citrus stubborn—a disease with symptoms similar to HLB. We found a 35% reduction of phosphorus in Las-positive citrus trees compared to healthy trees. Applying phosphorus oxyanion solutions to HLB-positive sweet orange trees reduced HLB symptom severity and significantly improved fruit production during a 3-year field trial in south-west Florida. Our molecular, physiological, and field data suggest that phosphorus deficiency is linked to HLB disease symptomology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Non-biased, high-throughput metabolomic profiling in Selaginella lepidophylla at various hydration states characterized a total of 251 metabolites including constitutive, highly abundant sugars, inducible osmoprotectants, antioxidants, and sunscreens that likely act in concert to facilitate desiccation tolerance.Selaginella lepidophylla is one of only a few species of spike mosses (Selaginellaceae) that have evolved desiccation tolerance (DT) or the ability to ‘resurrect’ from an air-dried state. In order to understand the metabolic basis of DT, S. lepidophylla was subjected to a five-stage, rehydration/dehydration cycle, then analyzed using non-biased, global metabolomics profiling technology based on GC/MS and UHLC/MS/MS2 platforms. A total of 251 metabolites including 167 named (66.5%) and 84 (33.4%) unnamed compounds were characterized. Only 42 (16.7%) and 74 (29.5%) of compounds showed significantly increased or decreased abundance, respectively, indicating that most compounds were produced constitutively, including highly abundant trehalose, sucrose, and glucose. Several glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates showed increased abundance at 100% relative water content (RWC) and 50% RWC. Vanillate, a potent antioxidant, was also more abundant in the hydrated state. Many different sugar alcohols and sugar acids were more abundant in the hydrated state. These polyols likely decelerate the rate of water loss during the drying process as well as slow water absorption during rehydration, stabilize proteins, and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, nitrogen-rich and γ-glutamyl amino acids, citrulline, and nucleotide catabolism products (e.g. allantoin) were more abundant in the dry states, suggesting that these compounds might play important roles in nitrogen remobilization during rehydration or in ROS scavenging. UV-protective compounds such as 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, apigenin, and naringenin, were more abundant in the dry states. Most lipids were produced constitutively, with the exception of choline phosphate, which was more abundant in dry states and likely plays a role in membrane hydration and stabilization. In contrast, several polyunsaturated fatty acids were more abundant in the hydrated states, suggesting that these compounds likely help maintain membrane fluidity during dehydration. Lastly, S. lepidophylla contained seven unnamed compounds that displayed twofold or greater abundance in dry or rehydrating states, suggesting that these compounds might play adaptive roles in DT.

AB  - Juglans nigra (black walnut) is widely distributed throughout the US eastern forest, with high concentrations occurring in Missouri and the Ohio and Tennessee River basins. It is an extremely desirable tree for wildlife forage and timber production on forest land, and for shade, aesthetics, and wildlife forage in urban areas. Current (2009-2010) estimates from US Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data indicated that there were 306 million live black walnut trees in the eastern United States with a live volume totaling 112.76 million cubic meters (m3). This resource is currently threatened by the newly discovered presence of thousand cankers disease (TCD) in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia. Thousand cankers disease may have been present in these areas for at least 10 years prior to discovery; however, no evidence of TCD in the forest at large was apparent in the crown condition and mortality data collected by FIA between 2000 and 2010. During this time period black walnut crown conditions were within the range of what is typically considered normal and healthy for hardwood trees and dead black walnut accounted for < 5% of the total number of black walnut trees in 82% of the counties where black walnut occurred. Lack of evidence of TCD in our study could be due to its actual absence or to an inability of the inventory and monitoring system to detect its presence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The areas targeted for restoration are often the modified ecosystems that are rapidly becoming the planetary norm, and when ecosystem modification has been extensive, local genotypes may not be the most effective for repair. Here, local has value is presented as a paradigm for the restoration of such systems as a corollary to local is best for systems that have sustained less modification. In many cases, adaptation may be enhanced through genetic variation or applying artificial selection, particularly for generalist species. Ecologically appropriate plant materials are those that exhibit ecological fitness for their intended site, display compatibility with other members of the plant community, and demonstrate no invasive tendencies. They may address specific environmental challenges, rejuvenate ecosystem function, and improve the delivery of ecosystem services. Furthermore, they may be improved over time, thereby serving to ameliorate the increasingly challenging environments that typify many restoration sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Noroviruses (NoVs) are a leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. An in vitro model for NoV replication remains elusive, making study of the virus difficult. A previous study, which used a 3-dimensional (3-D) intestinal model derived from INT-407 cells reported NoV replication and extensive cytopathic effects (CPE). Using the same 3-D model, but with highly purified Norwalk virus (NV), we attempted to replicate this study. Our results showed no evidence of NV replication by real-time PCR of viral RNA or by immunocytochemical detection of viral structural and nonstructural proteins. Immunocytochemical analysis of the 3-D cultures also showed no detectable presence of histo-blood group antigens that participate in NV binding and host tropism. To determine the potential cause of CPE observed in the previous study, we exposed 3-D cultures to lipopolysaccharide concentrations consistent with contaminated stool samples and observed morphologic features similar to CPE. We conclude that the 3-D INT-407 model does not support NV replication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ABSTRACT The floodplains of lowland rivers contain diverse aquatic habitats that provide valuable ecosystem services but are perturbed when intensively cultivated. Hydrologic, water chemistry and biological (fish) conditions in five aquatic habitats along the Coldwater River, Mississippi, were measured for more than 4 years: the river, two severed meanders that functioned as backwaters, a managed wetland and an ephemeral channel draining cultivated fields. Off-channel habitats were connected to downstream regions 0.10% to 32% of the dry season and 24% to 67% of the wet season. The median temperatures for the five monitored sites ranged from 18°C to 23°C, the median total solids concentration for all sites was 135 mg L−1, the median total phosphorus was 0.29 mg L−1 and the median total nitrogen was 1.56 mg L−1. Chemical and physical water quality displayed strong seasonal differences between the wet winter/spring and the dry summer/fall periods so that temporal variation consisted of gradual seasonal trends superimposed on strong diurnal variations. All off-channel habitats exhibited periods of hypoxia and temperatures >30°C during the dry season. Between-site gradients of water and habitat quality were strongly coupled to water depth and runoff loading. The rehabilitation of one backwater by increasing water depth and diverting agricultural runoff was associated with improved water quality and fish species richness relative to an adjacent untreated backwater. The diversion of polluted runoff and the use of water control structures to maintain greater water depth were observed to be effective management tools, but the former reduces the water supply to habitats that tend to dry up and the latter reduces connectivity.

AB  - Service-sire conception rate (SCR) evaluations were implemented for the United States in August 2008. Only inseminations from the most recent 4 yr of breeding records are used for SCR evaluations, and all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the data submission deadline for an evaluation. In April 2012, edits for SCR were modified so that all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the last herd test date rather than the constant date of 70 d before the data submission deadline. This edit more precisely measures the days of opportunity for a cow to be diagnosed as pregnant or not pregnant following insemination, and is herd specific. The number of inseminations before the edit change was 16,906,385 compared with 16,492,331 after the edit change. Correlations of SCR before and after the edit change were 0.96 for Holsteins and slightly lower for other breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. Weekly mean conception rates after the edit change were more stable for the most recent inseminations. The conception rate was 60% at wk 10 before the constant cutoff date (before edit change) compared with 42% at 10 wk before the last herd test date (after the edit change). Similar edits to SCR are applied to heifer conception rate (HCR) and cow conception rate data (CCR), and were changed in August 2012 to use herd-specific cutoff dates. The HCR and CCR correlations before and after the edit change were 0.99 or higher for all breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. The new edits improve accuracy of SCR, HCR, and CCR evaluations by accounting for differing opportunity to confirm pregnancy caused by discontinued testing or differences in herd testing schedule.

AB  - Global wetlands are believed to be climate sensitive, and are the largest natural emitters of methane (CH4). Increased wetland CH4 emissions could act as a positive feedback to future warming. The Wetland and Wetland CH4 Inter-comparison of Models Project (WETCHIMP) investigated our present ability to simulate large-scale wetland characteristics and corresponding CH4 emissions. To ensure inter-comparability, we used a common experimental protocol driving allmodels with the same climate and carbon dioxide (CO2) forcing datasets. The WETCHIMP experiments were conducted for model equilibrium states as well as transient simulations covering the last century. Sensitivity experiments investigated model response to changes in selected forcing inputs (precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric CO2 concentration). Ten models participated, covering the spectrum from simple to relatively complex, including models tailored either for regional or global simulations. The models also varied in methods to calculate wetland size and location, with some models simulating wetland area prognostically, while other models relied on remotely sensed inundation datasets, or an approach intermediate between the two. Four major conclusions emerged from the project. First, the suite of models demonstrate extensive disagreement in their simulations of wetland areal extent and CH4 emissions, in both space and time. Simple metrics of wetland area, such as the latitudinal gradient, show large variability, principally between models that use inundation dataset information and those that independently determine wetland area. Agreement between the models improves for zonally summed CH4 emissions, but large variation between the models remains. For annual global CH4 emissions, the models vary by ±40% of the all-model mean (190 Tg CH4 yr-1). Second, all models show a strong positive response to increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations (857 ppm) in both CH4 emissions and wetland area. In response to increasing global temperatures (+3.4 °C globally spatially uniform), on average, the models decreased wetland area and CH4 fluxes, primarily in the tropics, but the magnitude and sign of the response varied greatly. Models were least sensitive to increased global precipitation (+3.9% globally spatially uniform) with a consistent small positive response in CH4 fluxes and wetland area. Results from the 20th century transient simulation show that interactions between climate forcings could have strong non-linear effects. Third, we presently do not have sufficient wetland methane observation datasets adequate to evaluate model fluxes at a spatial scale comparable to model grid cells (commonly 0.5°). This limitation severely restricts our ability to model global wetland CH4 emissions with confidence. Our simulated wetland extents are also difficult to evaluate due to extensive disagreements between wetland mapping and remotely sensed inundation datasets. Fourth, the large range in predicted CH4 emission rates leads to the conclusion that there is both substantial parameter and structural uncertainty in large-scale CH4 emission models, even after uncertainties in wetland areas are accounted for.

AB  - In semiarid western North American riparian ecosystems, increased drought and lower streamflows under climate change may reduce plant growth and recruitment, and favor drought-tolerant exotic species over mesic native species. We tested whether elevated atmospheric CO2 might ameliorate these effects by improving plant water-use efficiency., We examined the effects of CO2 and water availability on seedlings of two native ( Populus deltoides spp. monilifera, Salix exigua) and three exotic ( Elaeagnus angustifolia, Tamarix spp., Ulmus pumila) western North American riparian species in a CO2-controlled glasshouse, using 1-m-deep pots with different water-table decline rates., Low water availability reduced seedling biomass by 70-97%, and hindered the native species more than the exotics. Elevated CO2 increased biomass by 15%, with similar effects on natives and exotics. Elevated CO2 increased intrinsic water-use efficiency (Δ13Cleaf), but did not increase biomass more in drier treatments than wetter treatments., The moderate positive effects of elevated CO2 on riparian seedlings are unlikely to counteract the large negative effects of increased aridity projected under climate change. Our results suggest that increased aridity will reduce riparian seedling growth despite elevated CO2, and will reduce growth more for native Salix and Populus than for drought-tolerant exotic species.

AB  - Simultaneous measurement of N2 O and CO2 flux at the soil surface with photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy ( PAS) is gaining popularity due to portability, low maintenance, and ease-of-operation. However, the ability of PAS to measure N2 O with accuracy and precision similar to gas chromatography ( GC) is uncertain due to overlap in N2 O, CO2, and H2 O absorbance spectra combined with the large range in analyte concentrations. We tested the ability of six PAS units to simultaneously measure N2 O and CO2 gas concentrations and fluxes with accuracy and precision similar to two GC units. We also evaluated H2 O vapor and CO2 interferences with N2 O measurement. The accuracy and precision of standard gas concentration measurements with PAS and GC were similar. High water vapor (~26 600 ppm) and CO2 concentrations (~4500 ppm) did not interfere with N2 O measurement across the concentration range typically observed in static flux chambers at the soil surface (~0.5-3.0 ppm N2 O). On average, N2 O fluxes measured with the six PAS were 4.7% higher than one GC and 9.9% lower than the second GC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant photosynthetic organism throughout much of the world's oceans, yet little is known about the ecology and genetic diversity of populations inhabiting tropical waters. To help close this gap, we examined natural Prochlorococcus communities in the tropical Pacific Ocean using a single-cell whole-genome amplification and sequencing. Analysis of the gene content of just 10 single cells from these waters added 394 new genes to the Prochlorococcus pan-genome-that is, genes never before seen in a Prochlorococcus cell. Analysis of marker genes, including the ribosomal internal transcribed sequence, from dozens of individual cells revealed several representatives from two uncultivated clades of Prochlorococcus previously identified as HNLC1 and HNLC2. While the HNLC clades can dominate Prochlorococcus communities under certain conditions, their overall geographic distribution was highly restricted compared with other clades of Prochlorococcus. In the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, these clades were only found in warm waters with low Fe and high inorganic P levels. Genomic analysis suggests that at least one of these clades thrives in low Fe environments by scavenging organic-bound Fe, a process previously unknown in Prochlorococcus. Furthermore, the capacity to utilize organic-bound Fe appears to have been acquired horizontally and may be exchanged among other clades of Prochlorococcus. Finally, one of the single Prochlorococcus cells sequenced contained a partial genome of what appears to be a prophage integrated into the genome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Reliability of predictions from single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) can be calculated by matrix inversion, but that is not feasible for large data sets. Two methods of approximating reliability were developed based on the decomposition of a function of reliability into contributions from records, pedigrees, and geno-types. Those contributions can be expressed in record or daughter equivalents. The first approximation method involved inversion of a matrix that contains inverses of the genomic relationship matrix and the pedigree relationship matrix for genotyped animals. The second approximation method involved only the diagonal elements of those inverses. The 2 approximation methods were tested with a simulated data set. The correlations between ssGBLUP and approximated contributions from genomic information were 0.92 for the first approximation method and 0.56 for the second approximation method; contributions were inflated by 62 and 258%, respectively. The respective correlations for reliabilities were 0.98 and 0.72. After empirical correction for inflation, those correlations increased to 0.99 and 0.89. Approximations of reliabilities of predictions by ssGBLUP are accurate and computationally feasible for populations with up to 100,000 genotyped animals. A critical part of the approximations is quality control of information from single nucleotide polymorphisms and proper scaling of the genomic relationship matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genomic evaluations for 161,341 Holsteins were computed by using 311,725 of 777,962 markers on the Illumina Bovine-HD Genotyping BeadChip (HD). Initial edits with 1,741 HD genotypes from 5 breeds revealed that 636,967 markers were usable but that half were redundant. Holstein genotypes were from 1,510 animals with HD markers, 82,358 animals with 45,187 (50K) markers, 1,797 animals with 8,031 (8K) markers, 20,177 animals with 6,836 (6K) markers, 52,270 animals with 2,683 (3K) markers, and 3,229 nongenotyped dams (0K) with >90% of haplotypes imputable because they had 4 or more genotyped progeny. The Holstein HD genotypes were from 1,142 US, Canadian, British, and Italian sires, 196 other sires, 138 cows in a US Department of Agriculture research herd (Beltsville, MD), and 34 other females. Percentages of correctly imputed genotypes were tested by applying the programs find-hap and FImpute to a simulated chromosome for an earlier population that had only 1,112 animals with HD geno-types and none with 8K genotypes. For each chip, 1% of the genotypes were missing and 0.02% were incorrect initially. After imputation of missing markers with find-hap, percentages of genotypes correct were 99.9% from HD, 99.0% from 50K, 94.6% from 6K, 90.5% from 3K, and 93.5% from 0K. With FImpute, 99.96% were correct from HD, 99.3% from 50K, 94.7% from 6K, 91.1% from 3K, and 95.1% from 0K genotypes. Accuracy for the 3K and 6K genotypes further improved by approximately 2 percentage points if imputed first to 50K and then to HD instead of imputing all genotypes directly to HD. Evaluations were tested by using imputed actual genotypes and August 2008 phenotypes to predict deregressed evaluations of US bulls proven after August 2008. For 28 traits tested, the estimated genomic re-liability averaged 61.1% when using 311,725 markers vs. 60.7% when using 45,187 markers vs. 29.6% from the traditional parent average. Squared correlations with future data were slightly greater for 16 traits and slightly less for 12 with HD than with 50K evaluations. The observed 0.4 percentage point average increase in reliability was less favorable than the 0.9 expected from simulation but was similar to actual gains from other HD studies. The largest HD and 50K marker effects were often located at very similar positions. The single-breed evaluation tested here and previous single-breed or multibreed evaluations have not produced large gains. Increasing the number of HD genotypes used for imputation above 1,074 did not improve the reliability of Holstein genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Due to projected increases in winter air temperatures in the northeastern USA over the next 100 years, the snowpack is expected to decrease in depth and duration, thereby increasing soil exposure to freezing air temperatures. To evaluate the potential physiological responses of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.) to a reduced snowpack, we measured root injury, foliar cation and carbohydrate concentrations, woody shoot carbohydrate levels, and terminal woody shoot lengths of trees in a snow manipulation experiment in New Hampshire, USA. Snow was removed from treatment plots for the first 6 weeks of winter for two consecutive years, resulting in lower soil temperatures to a depth of 50 cm for both winters compared to reference plots with an undisturbed snowpack. Visibly uninjured roots from trees in the snow removal plots had significantly higher (but sub-lethal) levels of relative electrolyte leakage than trees in the reference plots. Foliar calcium: aluminum (Al) molar ratios were significantly lower, and Al concentrations were significantly higher, in trees from snow removal plots than trees from reference plots. Snow removal also reduced terminal shoot growth and increased foliar starch concentrations. Our results are consistent with previous research implicating soil freezing as a cause of soil acidification that leads to soil cation imbalances, but are the first to show that this translates into altered foliar cation pools, and changes in soluble and structural carbon pools in trees. Increased soil freezing due to a reduced snowpack could exacerbate soil cation imbalances already caused by acidic deposition, and have widespread implications for forest health in the northeastern USA.

No information is available on the comparative pathogenicity of different strains of V. scophthalmi toward olive flounder. In this study, high- and low-virulence strains (HVS and LVS, respectively) were compared in terms of their pathogenic characteristics, including adhesion and survival, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and extracellular products (ECP) of bacterial cells. The cell-mediated defense of macrophages from olive flounder against V. scophthalmi infection in vitro was also investigated. The results demonstrated that the SOD activity of the HVS was higher than that of the LVS. The number of viable cells of the HVS in serum increased by two log units after 18 h, whereas that of the LVS decreased. The number of cells of the HVS in skin mucus increased significantly while that of the LVS remained constant. The LD values of the HVS and LVS ECP toward olive flounder were 10.14 and 15.99 μg protein/g fish, respectively. The ECP were positive for naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, lipase, gelatinase, and leucine arylamidase. The extracellular O overflow and intracellular O concentration of macrophages induced by the HVS were lower than those induced by the LVS. Significantly more nitric oxide was produced by the HVS than by the LVS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study examined absence rates among US Department of Energy workers who had beryllium sensitization (BeS) or were diagnosed with chronic beryllium disease (CBD) compared with those of other workers. Methods. We used the lymphocyte proliferation test to determine beryllium sensitivity. In addition, we applied multivariable logistic regression to compare absences from 2002 to 2011 between workers with BeS or CBD to those without, and survival analysis to compare time to first absence by beryllium sensitization status. Finally, we examined beryllium status by occupational group. Results. Fewer than 3% of the 19 305 workers were BeS, and workers with BeS or CBD had more total absences (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18, 1.46) and respiratory absences (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.84) than did other workers. Time to first absence for all causes and for respiratory conditions occurred earlier for workers with BeS or CBD than for other workers. Line operators and crafts personnel were at increased risk for BeS or CBD. Conclusions. Although not considered “diseased,” workers with BeS have higher absenteeism compared with nonsensitized workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We extend the methods developed by Hausmann and Klinger (2006) to measure and compare the dynamics of a country's structural transformation and apply the methods to China, Malaysia, and Ghana over the period 1962-2000. The results show that the rate of structural transformation is proportionately higher when a country produces more compact clusters of capital and consumer durable goods which in turn appear to lead more rapidly into new varieties of goods of higher unit values. We find that China's transformation is the result of increasing proximity of her production/export basket to capital goods and consumer durables and the increasing values of new products in these two clusters. Malaysia's product space in 1962 contained fewer of the world's cluster of industrial goods than did China's. The country nevertheless achieved a more rapid pace of transformation in the late 1980s which reduced her structural gap with China. The structure of the Ghanaian economy, however, is stagnant over time, and the country's production profile is dominated by primary goods of low value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The disease development and population structure of Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae, which causes stem rust on oats, were studied to investigate if sexual reproduction plays an important role in the epidemiology of the disease. The genetic population structure of P. graminis f. sp. avenae in Sweden was investigated by sampling 10 oat fields in July and August 2008 and seven fields during the same period in 2009. Nine single-pustule isolates were first used to test simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed for P. graminis f. sp. tritici. Eleven of the 68 tested SSR markers were useful for genotyping P. graminis f. sp. avenae. For the main study, DNA from single uredinia was extracted and the SSR markers were used to genotype 472 samples. Both allelic and genotypic diversity were high in all fields, indicating that P. graminis f. sp. avenae undergoes regular sexual reproduction in Sweden. No significant relationship between genetic and geographic distances was found. Disease development was studied on two farms during 2008 and 2009. The apparent infection rates ranged between 0·17 and 0·55, indicating the potential for rapid disease development within fields. The incidence of oat stem rust has increased recently in Sweden. One possible explanation is a resurgence of its alternate host, barberry ( Berberis spp.), after the repeal of the barberry eradication law in 1994. Barberry is present in several grain-producing areas in Sweden, which supports the conclusion that P. graminis f. sp. avenae undergoes regular sexual reproduction there. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A plant’s surface is covered with epicuticular wax, which protects plants from inappropriate environmental conditions such as drought and pathogen attack. Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are the main component of epicuticular wax on the surface of above-ground organs. Here we show that a fatty acid elongase catalyzing an elongation reaction of VLCFAs is required for shoot development in rice. onion2 (oni2) mutants produced very small shoots in which leaves were fused to each other, and ceased growing after germination. The midrib of oni2 leaf blades was not developed correctly. Molecular cloning showed that ONI2 encodes a fatty acid elongase, which catalyzes the first step of elongation reactions of a carbon chain of VLCFAs, and oni2 had a reduced amount of VLCFAs. Expression analysis showed that ONI2 is specifically expressed in the outermost cell layer of young lateral organs. These results suggest that ONI2 is a layer 1-specific gene required for development of the entire shoot and that VLCFAs play an essential role in normal shoot development in rice.

AB  - A characterization program has been developed at Hanford to image past leaks in and around the underground storage tank facilities. The program is based on electrical resistivity, a geophysical technique that maps the distribution of electrical properties of the subsurface. The method was shown to be immediately successful in open areas devoid of underground metallic infrastructure, due to the large contrast in material properties between the highly saline waste and the dry sandy host environment. The results in these areas, confirmed by a limited number of boreholes, demonstrate a tendency for the lateral extent of the underground waste plume to remain within the approximate footprint of the disposal facility. In infrastructure-rich areas, such as tank farms, the conventional application of electrical resistivity using small point-source surface electrodes initially presented a challenge for the resistivity method. The method was then adapted to directly use the buried infrastructure, specifically the steel-cased wells that surround the tanks, as 'long' electrodes for both transmission of electrical current and measurements of voltage. Overcoming the drawbacks of the long electrode method has been the focus of our work over the past 7 years. The drawbacks include low vertical resolution and limited lateral coverage. The lateral coverage issue has been improved by supplementing the long electrodes with surface electrodes in areas devoid of infrastructure. The vertical resolution has been increased by developing borehole electrode arrays that can fit within the small-diameter drive casing of a direct push rig. The evolution of the program has led to some exceptional advances in the application of geophysical methods, including logistical deployment of the technology in hazardous areas, development of parallel processing resistivity inversion algorithms, and adapting the processing tools to accommodate electrodes of all shapes and locations. The program is accompanied by a full set of quality assurance procedures that cover the layout of sensors, measurement strategies, and software enhancements while insuring the integrity of stored data. The data have been shown to be useful in identifying previously unknown contaminant sources and defining the footprint of precipitation recharge barriers to retard the movement of existing contamination.

AB  - Purpose: The research presented here was motivated by an interest in understanding the magnitude of sampling error in crop production unit process data developed for life cycle assessments (LCAs) of food, biofuel, and bioproduct production. More broadly, uncertainty data are placed within the context of conclusive interpretations of comparative bioproduct LCA results. Methods: Data from the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Resource Management Survey were parameterized for 466 crop-state-year combinations, using 146 variables representing the previous crop, tillage and seed operations, irrigation, and applications of synthetic fertilizer, lime, nitrogen inhibitor, organic fertilizer, and pesticides. Data are described by Student's t distributions representing sampling error through the relative standard error (RSE) and are organized by the magnitude of the RSE by data point. Also, instances in which the bounds of the 95 % confidence intervals are less than zero or exceed actual limits are identified. Results and discussion: Although the vast majority of the data have a RSE less than 100 %, values range from 0 to 1,600 %. The least precision was found in data collected between 2001 and 2002, in the production of corn and soybeans and in synthetic and pesticide applications and irrigation data. The highest precision was seen in the production of durum wheat, rice, oats, and peanuts and in data representing previous crops and till and seed technology use. Additionally, upwards of 20 % of the unit process, data had 95 % confidence intervals that are less than or exceed actual limits, such as an estimation of a negative area or a portion exceeding a total area, as a consequence of using a jackknife on subsets of data for which the weights are not calibrated explicitly and a low presence of certain practices. Conclusions: High RSE values arise from the RSE representing a biased distribution, a jackknife estimate being nearly zero, or error propagation using low-precision data. As error propagates to the final unit process data, care is required when interpreting an inventory, e.g., Monte Carlo simulation should only be sampled within the appropriate bounds. At high levels of sampling error such as those described here, comparisons of LCA bioproduct results must be made with caution and must be tested to ensure mean values are different to a desired level of significance.

AB  - In lower termites, functionally sterile larval helpers are totipotent-capable of becoming reproductively active with the loss of their colony's king or queen. Full reproductive development may take several weeks, but initiation of this developmental response most likely occurs shortly after colony members detect when a reproductive-specific signal is missing. We investigated the early response of termite helpers to the removal of their king and queen in the basal termite species Zootermopsis nevadensis. Within 6-12 h after reproductives were removed, helpers displayed an increase in head-butting-a behavior associated with dominance in other termite species as well as in closely related roaches. The loss of just one reproductive, either the king or queen, was also sufficient to cause an increase in head-butting. We did not find evidence, however, that this response was sex-specific: males and females were equally likely to increase head-butting independent of the sex of the reproductive that was removed. Finally, we discovered that reproductive-specific compounds present on the cuticle of king and queen termites were also present in their feces, but the presence of the feces did not seem sufficient to inhibit the increased head-butting after the reproductives were removed. Collectively, these results indicate that termite workers readily detect the loss of reproductives in their colony and that they at least initially respond in a non sex-specific manner.

AB  - Evaluations of the local effects of global change are often confounded by the interactions of natural and anthropogenic factors that overshadow the effects of climate changes on ecosystems. Long-term watershed and natural elevation gradient studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and in the surrounding region show surprising results demonstrating the effects of climate change on hydrologic variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, streamflow, soil moisture); the importance of changes in phenology on water, carbon, and nitrogen fluxes during critical seasonal transition periods; winter climate change effects on plant and animal community composition and ecosystem services; and the effects of anthropogenic disturbances and land-use history on plant community composition. These studies highlight the value of long-term integrated research for assessments of the subtle effects of changing climate on complex ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study which examined the effects of glycerol on feed sorting and the feed intake patterns of dairy cows that are used to high-moisture corn. The total mixed ration (TMR) was measured to ascertain the feed consumption pattern of cows during pre- and post-partum periods. The sorting behavior of cows and their feed consumption pattern changed after the introduction of glycerol, which may decrease diurnal variations in the rumen environment.

AB  - The temperature optimum of photosynthesis coincides with the average daytime temperature in a species' native environment. Moderate heat stress occurs when temperatures exceed the optimum, inhibiting photosynthesis and decreasing productivity. In the present study, the temperature response of photosynthesis and the potential for heat acclimation was evaluated for Camelina sativa, a bioenergy crop. The temperature optimum of net CO assimilation rate ( A) under atmospheric conditions was 30-32 °C and was only slightly higher under non-photorespiratory conditions. The activation state of Rubisco was closely correlated with A at supra-optimal temperatures, exhibiting a parallel decrease with increasing leaf temperature. At both control and elevated temperatures, the modeled response of A to intercellular CO concentration was consistent with Rubisco limiting A at ambient CO. Rubisco activation and photochemical activities were affected by moderate heat stress at lower temperatures in camelina than in the warm-adapted species cotton and tobacco. Growth under conditions that imposed a daily interval of moderate heat stress caused a 63 % reduction in camelina seed yield. Levels of cpn60 protein were elevated under the higher growth temperature, but acclimation of photosynthesis was minimal. Inactivation of Rubisco in camelina at temperatures above 35 °C was consistent with the temperature response of Rubisco activase activity and indicated that Rubisco activase was a prime target of inhibition by moderate heat stress in camelina. That photosynthesis exhibited no acclimation to moderate heat stress will likely impact the development of camelina and other cool season Brassicaceae as sources of bioenergy in a warmer world.

AB  - The objective of this producer survey was to identify and estimate damage caused by bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies. The interactions between birds and livestock have previously been implicated in causing economic damage while contributing to the environmental dissemination of microorganisms pathogenic to livestock and humans. Very little research exists to help producers understand what bird species use dairies, why they use dairies, or the scope and nature of damage created as a result of bird-livestock interactions. To better characterize these interactions, we surveyed dairy operators within Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin. Survey results suggest that the most common and destructive bird species found on commercial dairies are invasive to North America, and their use of dairies is associated with the loss of cattle feed, increased operating costs, and an increase in dairies self-reporting Salmonella spp. and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis. Cattle feed loss estimates generated from this survey were used to parameterize an input-output (IO) economic model using data from 10 counties in the state of Pennsylvania (Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bradford, Chester, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Somerset). This IO model allowed us to estimate direct, indirect, and induced economic effects of feed loss from bird damage to dairies within these counties. The IO model output suggests that feed loss costs Pennsylvania between $4.11 and $12.08 million (mean $10.6 million) in total economic damage, with approximately 43 to 128 jobs (mean 112) forgone statewide in 2009.

T1  - Effects of natural and simulated rainfall on indicators of ensilability and nutritive value for wilting alfalfa forages sampled before preservation as silage.

AB  - The frustrations of forage producers attempting to conserve high-quality alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) silage during periods of unstable or inclement weather are widely known. Our objectives for this series of studies were to (1) assess indicators of ensilability, such as pH, buffering capacity, water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), and starch for wilting alfalfa forages receiving no rainfall or damaged by simulated or natural rainfall events; (2) use these data as inputs to calculate the threshold moisture concentration that would prohibit a clostridially dominated fermentation; and (3) further evaluate the effects of rain damage or no rain damage on measures of forage nutritive value. Rainfall events were applied to wilting forages by both simulated and natural methods over multiple studies distributed across 4 independent forage harvests. Generally, simulated rainfall was applied to alfalfa under controlled conditions in which forages were relatively wet at the time of application, and subsequently were dried to final moisture endpoints under near ideal conditions within a constant temperature/humidity environmental chamber, thereby limiting postwetting wilting time to =21 h. As a result, indicators of ensilability, as well as measures of nutritive value, changed only marginally as a result of treatment. Consistently, reductions in concentrations of WSC and starch occurred, but changes in WSC were relatively modest, and postwetting concentrations of WSC may have been buoyed by hydrolysis of starch. When forages were subjected to natural rainfall events followed by prolonged exposure under field conditions, indicators of ensilability were much less desirable. In one study in which alfalfa received 49.3 mm of natural rainfall over a prolonged (8-d) field-exposure period, fresh pH increased from 6.48 to 7.43 within all forages exposed to these extended, moist wilting conditions. Furthermore, sharp reductions were observed in buffering capacity (410 vs. 337 mEq/kg of DM), WSC (6.13 vs. 2.90%), starch (2.28 vs. 0.45%), and clostridially dominated fermentation (62.7 vs. 59.4%). Based on these experiments, the potential for good fermentation is affected only minimally by single rainfall events applied to relatively wet forages, provided these events are followed by rapid dehydration; however, attaining acceptable silage fermentations with forages subjected to prolonged exposure under poor drying conditions is likely to be far more problematic.

AB  - Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype-genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination., We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa and genotyped 120 trees from 10 subpopulations using 29 213 single-nucleotide polymorphisms., Significant geographic differentiation was present at multiple spatial scales, and range-wide latitudinal allele frequency gradients were strikingly common across the genome. The decay of linkage disequilibrium with physical distance was slower than expected from previous studies in Populus, with r2 dropping below 0.2 within 3-6 kb. Consistent with this, estimates of recent effective population size from linkage disequilibrium ( Ne ≈ 4000-6000) were remarkably low relative to the large census sizes of P. trichocarpa stands. Fine-scale rates of recombination varied widely across the genome, but were largely predictable on the basis of DNA sequence and methylation features., Our results suggest that genetic drift has played a significant role in the recent evolutionary history of P. trichocarpa. Most importantly, the extensive linkage disequilibrium detected suggests that genome-wide association studies and genomic selection in undomesticated populations may be more feasible in Populus than previously assumed.

AB  - Evolution may improve the invasiveness of populations, but it often remains unclear whether key adaptation events occur after introduction into the recipient habitat (i.e. post-introduction adaptation scenario), or before introduction within the native range (i.e. prior-adaptation scenario) or at a primary site of invasion (i.e. bridgehead scenario). We used a multidisciplinary approach to determine which of these three scenarios underlies the invasion of the tropical ant Wasmannia auropunctata in a Mediterranean region (i.e. Israel). Species distribution models ( SDM), phylogeographical analyses at a broad geographical scale and laboratory experiments on appropriate native and invasive populations indicated that Israeli populations followed an invasion scenario in which adaptation to cold occurred at the southern limit of the native range before dispersal to Israel. We discuss the usefulness of combining SDM, genetic and experimental approaches for unambiguous determination of eco-evolutionary invasion scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Accurate estimates of soil carbon (C) contents over large spatial scales require extensive sampling and are susceptible to error associated with landscape variability. Various methods to minimize error have been posed, including conditioned Latin hypercube sampling (cLHS). The potential advantage of cLHS is that it uses existing ancillary landscape data in geographic information systems to select stratified random samples. Although the theoretical basis for cLHS has been demonstrated, few empirical evaluations have been performed. This study compared simple random, stratified random, and cLHS predictions of soil C content and their associated variability. A population of 903 gridded samples was collected and then subsampled based on stratification of curvature, slope, land cover, and soil type using 1, 5, 12, and 35% data set proportions. Random stratified and cLHS methods best approximated mean and variance of the population at sample sizes of 5 and 12%. Large advantages of cLHS relative to stratified random sampling were not apparent at this site, although cLHS consistently sampled the tails of the soil C content population distribution. Mapped soil C contents from the three sampling methods using regression kriging resulted in root mean square error (± SE) values of 11.1 ± 0.5, 13.4 ± 0.3, and 10.1 ± 0.2 Mg ha-1, respectively, for random, stratified, and cLHS sampling. Stratification sampling methods such as cLHS and stratified random sampling use existing ancillary information to provide an effective means for stratifying sampling locations within existing feature space and can offer improved spatial predictions of landscape-associated soil C contents.

AB  - Global interest in biomass-based fossil fuel substitutes is increasing, creating needs for new crops and cropping systems that will expand biofuel production. In the southeastern United States, an alley cropping agroforestry management system in which switchgrass is cultivated between rows of loblolly pine is being explored. Such a system could produce an annually harvested, high-yield energy crop, wood waste for biofuel production, conventional forest products, and environmental services such as soil carbon (C) sequestration. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of loblolly pine age (juvenile, mid-rotation, and late-rotation) and loblolly pine density (no trees, low density, and high density) on switchgrass and loblolly pine growth and soil characteristics (microbial biomass C and activity, labile C, and total soil C) linked to carbon sequestration and site productivity. Switchgrass ground coverage was greater in loblolly pine alleys than in open conditions in 2 of the 3 years of this study, but switchgrass biomass was lower in loblolly pine alleys than in open conditions in the mid-rotation stand. Switchgrass in alleys was associated with greater labile C, respiration, and microbial biomass and activity in soil compared with that in loblolly pine plantations with intensive suppression of understory.

Upon infection with the necrotroph Botrytis cinerea, several defence mechanisms are induced in P. patens, including the fortification of the plant cell wall by the incorporation of phenolic compounds and the induced expression of related genes. Botrytis cinerea infection also activates the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cell death with hallmarks of programmed cell death in moss tissues. Salicylic acid (SA) levels also increase after fungal infection, and treatment with SA enhances transcript accumulation of the defence gene phenylalanine ammonia-lyase ( PAL) in P. patens colonies. The expression levels of the genes involved in 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) synthesis, including lipoxygenase ( LOX) and allene oxide synthase ( AOS), increase in P. patens gametophytes after pathogen assault, together with a rise in free linolenic acid and OPDA concentrations. However, jasmonic acid (JA) could not be detected in healthy or infected tissues of this plant. Our results suggest that, although conserved defence signals, such as SA and OPDA, are synthesized and are probably involved in the defence response of P. patens against B. cinerea infection, JA production appears to be missing. Interestingly, P. patens responds to OPDA and methyl jasmonate by reducing moss colony growth and rhizoid length, suggesting that jasmonate perception is present in mosses. Thus, P. patens can provide clues with regard to the evolution of different defence pathways in plants, including signalling and perception of OPDA and jasmonates in nonflowering and flowering plants.

AB  - Previous research has shown that eastern gamagrass (EGG; Tripsacum dactyloides L.) will survive winter climatic conditions common throughout central Wisconsin, and will produce yields of dry matter (DM) ranging approximately from 7,000 to 10,000 kg/ha annually when managed with a 1-cut harvest system. The objective of this research was to determine whether the fibrous nature of this perennial warm-season grass could be effective in reducing the caloric density and DMI of corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets for replacement dairy heifers. A total of 120 Holstein dairy heifers were blocked by body weight (heavy, 424 ± 15.9 kg; medium, 369 ± 11.8 kg; light, 324 ± 22.4 kg), and then assigned to 15 individual pens containing 8 heifers each. Eastern gamagrass forage was harvested, ensiled, and subsequently incorporated into blended corn silage/ alfalfa haylage diets at rates of 0, 9.1, 18.3, or 27.4% of the total dietary DM (EGG0, EGG9, EGG18, and EGG27, respectively). These diets were offered during a 105-d evaluation period for ad libitum intake; however, the EGG0 diet also was offered on a limit-fed basis (LF), which was set at 85% of the voluntary intake of EGG0. Serial additions of EGG increased concentrations of neutral detergent fiber in blended diets from 39.6 (EGG0) to 48.7% (EGG27), and simultaneously reduced corresponding estimates of total digestible nutrients (TDN) from 68.2 to 61.3%, and net energy for gain from 1.07 to 0.83 Mcal/kg. Dry matter intakes for all diets offered ad libitum were greater than observed for LF (9.06 vs. 8.07 kg/d); however, DM intakes for diets containing EGG were reduced relative to EGG0 (9.40 vs. 8.94 kg/d). Similarly, intakes of TDN were greater for diets offered for ad libitum intake than for LF (5.84 vs. 5.50 kg/d); however, inclusion of EGG reduced TDN intakes relative to EGG0 (6.41 vs. 5.65 kg/d). This reduction was explained by both linear and quadratic effects of the inclusion rate of EGG in the diet. Over the 105-d trial, total weight gains ranged from 89 kg (0.85 kg/d) for heifers offered EGG27 up to 114 kg (1.09 kg/d) for those offered EGG0. Performance was similar between heifers offered EGG27 and LF diets (0.85 vs. 0.88 kg/d). Eastern gamagrass haylage proved to be a completely nonsortable additive within corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets. It also was effective in limiting the caloric density and DM intake of these diets, as well as undesirable weight gains by dairy heifers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims: Past studies have demonstrated that hyperaccumulators absorb Ni from the same labile pools in soil as normal plant species. This study investigated whether the Ni hyperaccumulator plant Alyssum corsicum possesses distinct extraction mechanisms for different Ni species present in soils. Different Ni species have different solubilities and potential bioavailabilities to roots. Methods: Uptake of Ni in shoots of A. corsicum was analyzed after four weeks of plant growth in nutrient solution with 17 different Ni compounds or soils. Results: The results indicate that Ni uptake is related to Ni solubility and plant transpiration rate. The most soluble compounds had the highest Ni uptake, with the exception of Ni(PO), Ni phyllosilicate, Ni-acid birnessite which showed a low solubility but a relatively high plant uptake and transpiration rate. In serpentine soils and insoluble NiO plant transpiration rate was high but uptake was very low and statistically comparable to the control. Conclusions: It appears that Ni uptake is driven by convection, which depends on the initial concentration of Ni in solution and the plant transpiration rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim  Canada thistle ( Cirsium arvense- Cardueae, Asteraceae) is one of the worst invasive plants world-wide. Native to Eurasia, its unintentional introduction into North America now threatens the native flora and is responsible for enormous agricultural losses. The goals of this study are to: (1) reconstruct the evolutionary history of C. arvense and estimate how often it may have colonized North America, (2) compare the genetic diversity between European and North American populations to detect signs of demographic bottlenecks and/or patterns of population admixture, and (3) conduct bioclimatic comparisons to infer eventual niche shifts following this species' introduction into North America. Location  Europe and North America. Methods  A total of 1522 individuals from 58 populations were investigated with six microsatellite markers. Estimates of heterozygosity ( HE) and allelic richness ( RS) were quantified for each population, and population structure was inferred via analyses of molecular variance (AMOVAs), principal components analyses (PCAs), Mantel tests and Bayesian clustering analyses. Climatic niche spaces were based on 19 bioclimatic variables extracted from approximately 32,000 locations covering the entire range, and compared using PCA and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results  Although there is evidence of multiple introductions from divergent European lineages, North American populations of C. arvense exhibited significantly lower levels of genetic diversity than their putative ancestors. Bioclimatic comparisons pointed to a high degree of niche conservatism during invasion, but indicated that genotypes from the former USSR and Central European mountain chains were probably best adapted to invade North America upon entry into the continent. Main conclusions  Genetic and historical data suggest that C. arvense first entered North America from Western Europe with the first European settlers, and was later introduced from Eastern Europe into the prairie states during the agricultural boom. The species went through a significant bottleneck following its introduction into the New World, but the level of genetic diversity remained high owing to admixture between genetically differentiated lineages and to a highly efficient outcrossing breeding system.

AB  - The study of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infection is needed, not only to understand the disease process but also to understand the mechanisms by which MG vaccines protect the host. Many model systems have been used to study the MG disease process. This work compared two different routes of infection (intratracheal versus eye drop) in commercial pullets, looking for differences in the pathology (air sac and tracheal lesion scores, and tracheal mucosal thickness) and the humoral immune response (measured by serum plate agglutination) of the host. The impact of concurrent infectious bronchitis virus vaccination on disease outcomes was also determined. Results showed that the intratracheal route of MG infection caused increased air sac and tracheal lesion scores and tracheal mucosal thickness at one week post infection, whereas the eye drop route produced no noticeable pathology. However, tracheal mucosal thicknesses of intratracheally challenged pullets were not statistically different from those of the eye drop challenged or control pullets at two and three weeks post infection. Concurrent infectious bronchitis virus vaccination had a negligible outcome on disease pathology. Vaccination of specific-pathogen-free chickens with the F-strain MG vaccine completely protected them against the effects of MG intratracheal infectious challenge, as evidenced by a lack of significant difference in air sac and tracheal lesion scores and tracheal mucosal thickness with those of unchallenged media control chickens.

AB  - ABSTRACT The installed capacity of photovoltaic (PV) systems has recently increased at a much faster rate than the development of grid codes to effectively and efficiently manage high penetrations of PV within the distribution system. In a number of countries, PV penetrations in some regions are now raising growing concerns regarding integration. Management strategies vary considerably by country-some still have an approach that PV systems should behave as passive as possible, whereas others demand an active participation in grid control. This variety of grid codes also causes challenges in learning from 'best practice.' This paper provides a review of current grid codes in some countries with high PV penetrations. In addition, the paper presents a number of country-specific case studies on different approaches for improved integration of PV systems in the distribution grid. In particular, we consider integration approaches using active and reactive power control that can reduce or defer expensive grid reinforcement while supporting higher PV penetrations.

AB  - Assisted migration (AM) is often presented as a strategy to save species that are imminently threatened by rapid climate change. This conception of AM, which has generated considerable controversy, typically proposes the movement of narrowly distributed, threatened species to suitable sites beyond their current range limits. However, existing North American forestry operations present an opportunity to practice AM on a larger scale, across millions of hectares, with a focus on moving populations of widely distributed, nonthreatened tree species within their current range limits. Despite these differences (and many others detailed herein), these two conceptions of AM have not been clearly distinguished in the literature, which has added confusion to recent dialogue and debate. Here, we aim to facilitate clearer communication on this topic by detailing this distinction and encouraging a more nuanced view of AM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dynamic global vegetation models simulate feedbacks of vegetation change on ecosystem processes, but direct, experimental evidence for feedbacks that result from atmospheric CO2 enrichment is rare. We hypothesized that feedbacks from species change would amplify the initial CO2 stimulation of aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP) of tallgrass prairie communities. Communities of perennial forb and C4 grass species were grown for 5 years along a field CO2 gradient (250-500 μL L−1) in central Texas USA on each of three soil types, including upland and lowland clay soils and a sandy soil. CO2 enrichment increased community ANPP by 0-117% among years and soils and increased the contribution of the tallgrass species Sorghastrum nutans (Indian grass) to community ANPP on each of the three soil types. CO2-induced changes in ANPP and Sorghastrum abundance were linked. The slope of ANPP- CO2 regressions increased between initial and final years on the two clay soils because of a positive feedback from the increase in Sorghastrum fraction. This feedback accounted for 30-60% of the CO2-mediated increase in ANPP on the upland and lowland clay soils during the final 3 years and 1 year of the experiment, respectively. By contrast, species change had little influence on the ANPP- CO2 response on the sandy soil, possibly because Sorghastrum increased largely at the expense of a functionally similar C4 grass species. By favoring a mesic C4 tall grass, CO2 enrichment approximately doubled the initial enhancement of community ANPP on two clay soils. The CO2-stimulation of grassland productivity may be significantly underestimated if feedbacks from plant community change are not considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Foliar nitrogen has been shown to be positively correlated with midsummer canopy albedo and canopy near infrared (NIR) reflectance over a broad range of plant functional types (e.g., forests, grasslands, and agricultural lands). To date, the mechanism(s) driving the nitrogen-albedo relationship have not been established, and it is unknown whether factors affecting nitrogen availability will also influence albedo. To address these questions, we examined variation in foliar nitrogen in relation to leaf spectral properties, leaf mass per unit area, and leaf water content for three deciduous species subjected to either nitrogen (Harvard Forest, MA, and Oak Ridge, TN) or CO fertilization (Oak Ridge, TN). At Oak Ridge, we also obtained canopy reflectance data from the airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer (AVIRIS) to examine whether canopy-level spectral responses were consistent with leaf-level results. At the leaf level, results showed no differences in reflectance or transmittance between CO or nitrogen treatments, despite significant changes in foliar nitrogen. Contrary to our expectations, there was a significant, but negative, relationship between foliar nitrogen and leaf albedo, a relationship that held for both full spectrum leaf albedo as well as leaf albedo in the NIR region alone. In contrast, remote sensing data indicated an increase in canopy NIR reflectance with nitrogen fertilization. Collectively, these results suggest that altered nitrogen availability can affect canopy albedo, albeit by mechanisms that involve canopy-level processes rather than changes in leaf-level reflectance.

AB  - A bstract.  Under projected changes in global climate, the growth and survival of existing forests will depend on their ability to adjust physiologically in response to environmental change. Quantifying their capacity to adjust and whether the response is species- or population-specific is important to guide forest management strategies. New analyses of historic provenance tests data are yielding relevant insights about these responses. Yet, differences between the objectives used to design the experiments and current objectives impose limitations to what can be learned from them. Our objectives are (i) to discuss the possibilities and limitations of using such data to quantify growth responses to changes in climate and (ii) to present a modeling approach that creates a species- and population-specific model. We illustrate the modeling approach for Larix occidentalis Nutt. We conclude that the reanalysis of historic provenance tests data can lead to the identification of species that have population-specific growth responses to changes in climate, provide estimates of optimum transfer distance for populations and species, and provide estimates of growth changes under different climate change scenarios. Using mixed-effects modeling techniques is a sound statistical approach to overcome some of the limitations of the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The general relationships between vegetation and water yield under different climatic regimes are well established at a small watershed scale in the past century. However, applications of these basic theories to evaluate the regional effects of land cover change on water resources remain challenging due to the complex interactions of vegetation and climatic variability and hydrologic processes at the large scale. The objective of this study was to explore ways to examine the spatial and temporal effects of a large ecological restoration project on water yield across the Loess Plateau region in northern China. We estimated annual water yield as the difference between precipitation input and modelled actual evapotranspiration (ET) output. We constructed a monthly ET model using published ET data derived from eddy flux measurements and watershed streamflow data. We validated the ET models at a watershed and regional levels. The model was then applied to examine regional water yield under land cover change and climatic variability during the implementation of the Grain-for-Green (GFG) project during 1999-2007. We found that water yield in 38% of the Loess Plateau area might have decreased (1-48mm per year) as a result of land cover change alone. However, combined with climatic variability, 37% of the study area might have seen a decrease in water yield with a range of 1-54mm per year, and 35% of the study area might have seen an increase with a range of 1-10mm per year. Across the study region, climate variability masked or strengthened the water yield response to vegetation restoration. The absolute annual water yield change due to vegetation restoration varied with precipitation regimes with the highest in wet years, but the relative water yield changes were most pronounced in dry years. We concluded that the effects of land cover change associated with ecological restoration varied greatly over time and space and were strongly influenced by climatic variability in the arid region. The current regional vegetation restoration projects have variable effects on local water resources across the region. Land management planning must consider the influences of spatial climate variability and long-term climate change on water yield to be more effective for achieving environmental sustainability.

AB  - Global wetlands are believed to be climate sensitive, and are the largest natural emitters of methane (CH4). Increased wetland CH4 emissions could act as a positive feedback to future warming. The Wetland and Wetland CH4 Inter-comparison of Models Project (WETCHIMP) investigated our present ability to simulate large scale wetland characteristics and corresponding CH4 emissions. To ensure inter-comparability, we used a common experimental protocol driving all models with the same climate and carbon dioxide (CO2) forcing datasets. The WETCHIMP experiments were conducted for model equilibrium states as well as transient simulations covering the last century. Sensitivity experiments investigated model response to changes in selected forcing inputs (precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric CO2 concentration). Ten models participated, covering the spectrum from simple to relatively complex, including models tailored either for regional or global simulations. The models also varied in methods to calculate wetland size and location with some models simulating wetland area prognostically, while other models relied on remotely-sensed inundation datasets, or an approach intermediate between the two. Four major conclusions emerged from the project. First, the suite of models demonstrate extensive disagreement in their simulations of wetland areal extent and CH4 emissions, in both space and time. Simple metrics of wetland area, such as the latitudinal gradient, show large variability, principally between models that use inundation dataset information and those that independently determine wetland area. Agreement between the models improves for zonally summed CH4 emissions, but large variation between the models remains. For annual global CH4 emissions, the models vary by ±40% of the all model mean (190 TgCH4 yr-1). Second, all models show a strong positive response to increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations (857 ppm) in both CH4 emissions and wetland area. In response to increasing global temperatures (+3.4% globally spatially uniform), on average, the models decreased wetland area and CH4 fluxes, primarily in the tropics, but the magnitude and sign of the response varied greatly. Models were least sensitive to increased global precipitation (+3.9% globally spatially uniform) with a consistent small positive response in CH4 fluxes and wetland area. Results from the 20th century transient simulation show that interactions between climate forcings could have strong non-linear effects. Third, we presently do not have sufficient wetland methane observation datasets adequate to evaluate model fluxes at a spatial scale comparable to model grid cells (commonly 0.5°). This limitation severely restricts our ability to model global wetland CH4 emissions with confidence. Our simulated wetland extents are also difficult to evaluate due to extensive disagreements between wetland mapping and remotely-sensed inundation datasets. And fourth, the large range in predicted CH4 emission rates leads to the conclusion that there is both substantial parameter and structural uncertainty in large-scale CH4 emission models, even after uncertainties in wetland areas are accounted for.

AB  - Current methods in DNA technology can detect single nucleotide polymorphisms with measurable accuracy using several different approaches appropriate for different uses. If there are even single nucleotide differences that are invariant markers of the species, we can accomplish identification through rapid DNA-based tests. The question of whether we can reliably detect and identify species of Aspergillus and Penicillium turns mainly upon the completeness of our alpha taxonomy, our species concepts, and how well the available DNA data coincide with the taxonomic diversity in the family Trichocomaceae. No single gene is yet known that is invariant within species and variable between species as would be optimal for the barcode approach. Data are published that would make an MLST approach to isolate identification possible in the most well-studied clades of Aspergillus and Penicillium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18 (Suppl. 4): 62-66 Abstract Improvements in high-throughput sequencing technologies have spurred a large number of studies aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the composition and the dynamics in gut microbiota and its associations with various human diseases, especially those in the intestinal tract. Here we briefly summarize results from three different such studies from our group, all of which used 454 based high-throughput 16S rRNA sequence analysis combined with other microbiota profiling methods to determine faecal microbiota composition. In the first study, a controlled feeding trial, we establish that energy gain from the consumption of up to 50 g/day of a resistant maltodextrin depends on the prevalent microbiota composition. Over time, resistant maltodextrin supplementation increased the proportion of total faecal bacteria as well as potentially beneficial bifidobacteria. Thus, energy gain from resistant maltodextrin in an individual appears to vary over time and depend on the adaptation of gut microbiota. We then illustrate the power of molecular tools for identifying (i) distortions in early microbiota development in pre-term infants and the presence of potentially novel pathogens contributing to necrotizing enterocolitis and (ii) a specific microbiota signature, based on discriminant analysis of the 16S rRNA sequences, that correlates with the prevalence of an early risk marker associated with colorectal carcinogenesis, intestinal adenoma, in elderly adults.

AB  - Prickly nightshades are troublesome weeds of natural habitats, pastures, feedlots, right-of-ways, and croplands. Native and nonnative invasive weedy species of prickly nightshades were compared to determine growth, development, and morphological differences. Six (Solanum bahamense, Solanum capsicoides, Solanum carolinense, Solanum dimidiatum, Solanum donianum, and Solanum pumilum) of the 18 species of prickly nightshades studied are native to the US. Two species, Solarium citrullifalium and Solanum rostratum, are annuals; the others are perennials or are short lived perennials or annuals in northern extremes of their range in North America. Tables were developed from new and existing data to differentiate vegetative and reproductive characteristics among 18 species of prickly nightshade found in the southeastern US. In greenhouse experiments, average plant height ranged from 24 and 26 cm (9.45 and 10.24 inch) for S. caralinense and Solanum jamaicense, respectively, to 100 and 105 cm for Solanum tampicense and Solanum sisymbriifalium, respectively at 10 wk after emergence (WAE). By 10 WAE, the average number of leaves per plant ranged from < 10 for S. carolinense and Solanum torvum to > 40 leaves/plant for S. rostratum and S. dimidiatum. Average nurnber of nodes/plant main stem ranged from 11, 12, and 14 nodes in S. jamaicense, S. torvum, and S. carolinense, respectively, to 54 nodes in S. rostratum. Average plant dry weights were collected at 10 WAE and were greatest for Solarium mammosum and (> 17 g/plant) (0.6001 oz/plant) and least for S. carolinense (1 g/plant). Based on these data, nightshade growth rate and dry weight were variable among some species and variability may be a result of phenology and life cycles, annual or perennial. Plants of S. rostratum, an annual, were relatively tall and produced high number of nodes and leaves and had the shortest period from emergence to flower among the prickly nightshades evaluated.

AB  - ABSTRACT Air temperatures internal and external to a talus cave ('ice mine') in central Pennsylvania were measured hourly for three years. Despite its location near the base of a talus slope, the cave demonstrated the thermal characteristics of an apparently static cave, with limited connections to the external environment other than through the cave entrance. Congelation ice that lasted until late spring formed as drip or flowstone and ponded ice from the limited influx of infiltrating water during late winter/early spring. A closed period of thermal stratification and slow warming of cave air was followed by an open period in winter months during which the cave was cooled by the influx of cold dry air. Unlike the occasionally strong and localised cooling induced by the flow of cold air from vents at the base of talus slopes, static cold traps retain their cold air and have little apparent effect on surrounding biota, instead providing potential refugia for organisms that prefer colder temperatures. Published 2012. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is generated from glutamate by the action of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and characterized by hypotensive, diuretic, and tranquilizing effects in humans and animals. The production of GABA by lactic acid starter bacteria would enhance the functionality of fermented dairy foods including cheeses and yogurt. The survey of 42 strains of the yogurt starter culture Streptococcus thermophilus by PCR techniques indicated the presence of a glutamate decarboxylase gene ( gadB) in 16 strains. DNA sequencing data indicated that the GAD/GABA antiporter locus ( gadB/gadC) in GAD S. thermophilus strains is flanked by transposase elements (5′ and 3′) and positioned between the luxS (5′) and the HD-superfamily hydrolase genes (3′). The PCR amplification product of a ca. 2-kb genomic fragment that included the gadB and its putative promoter region was inserted into a shuttle vector, which was used to transform Escherichia coli DH5α. Subsequently, the recombinant plasmid pMEU5a-1/ gadB (7.24 kb) was electrotransformed into the GAD-negative strain S. thermophilus ST128. The ST128 transformants carrying the plasmid-encoded gadB produced functional GAD enzyme as evidenced by the conversion of glutamate to GABA at a rate similar to strains with the gadB/gadC operon located on the chromosome. The results demonstrated the potential to impart to non-GABA-producing strains of S. thermophilus and other lactic acid bacteria the GAD phenotype that improves their appeal in possible applications in the development of health-promoting functional foods.

AB  - The majority of the world's forests are used for multiple purposes, which often include the potentially conflicting goals of timber production and biodiversity conservation. A scientifically validated management approach that can reduce such conflicts is retention forestry, an approach modeled on natural processes, which emerged in the last 25 years as an alternative to clearcutting. A portion of the original stand is left unlogged to maintain the continuity of structural and compositional diversity. We detail retention forestry's ecological role, review its current practices, and summarize the large research base on the subject. Retention forestry is applicable to all forest Homes, complements conservation in reserves, and represents bottom-up conservation through forest manager involvement. A research challenge is to identify thresholds for retention amounts to achieve desired outcomes. We define key issues for future development and link retention forestry with land-zoning allocation at various scales, expanding its uses to forest restoration and the management of uneven-age forests.

AB  - Flies transport specific bacteria with their larvae that provide a wider range of nutrients for those bacteria. Our hypothesis was that this symbiotic interaction may depend on interkingdom signaling. We obtained Proteus mirabilis from the salivary glands of the blow fly Lucilia sericata; this strain swarmed significantly and produced a strong odor that attracts blow flies. To identify the putative interkingdom signals for the bacterium and flies, we reasoned that as swarming is used by this bacterium to cover the food resource and requires bacterial signaling, the same bacterial signals used for swarming may be used to communicate with blow flies. Using transposon mutagenesis, we identified six novel genes for swarming (ureR, fis, hybG, zapB, fadE and PROSTU_03490), then, confirming our hypothesis, we discovered that fly attractants, lactic acid, phenol, NaOH, KOH and ammonia, restore swarming for cells with the swarming mutations. Hence, compounds produced by the bacterium that attract flies also are utilized for swarming. In addition, bacteria with the swarming mutation rfaL attracted fewer blow flies and reduced the number of eggs laid by the flies. Therefore, we have identified several interkingdom signals between P. mirabilis and blow flies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 2005, massive mortality occurred in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus farms in Korea, and five isolates were collected from diseased fish. In this study, microbiological and pathogenic characteristics of these isolates were studied. The isolates gave negative results in lysine and ornithine decarboxylase, ortho-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside, and citrate tests, and positive results in urease, esculinase, and nitrate reduction tests. The isolates produced acid from adipate, fructose, d-glucose, and maltose, and gave positive results in alkaline phosphatase, esterase lipase, leucine arylamidase, and naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase. According to genetic analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 98-100 % identity with both Vibrio scophthalmi and V. ichthyoenteri. The dnaJ gene sequences presented a higher identity with V. scophthalmi than with V. ichthyoenteri. Thus, the isolates were identified as V. scophthalmi. Pathogenicity of the five isolates in olive flounder was different and LD values were from 10 to 10 CFU/g fish. Symptoms included darkening of skin, hemorrhage of liver and intestine, ascites, and distended abdomen. Histopathological changes included hemopoiesis dilatation and epithelial hyaline droplets in kidney, macrophage infiltration and ellipsoid dilatation in spleen, vascular dilatation, submucosal edema, and serosa inflammation of intestine. Cumulative mortality was 25 % for fish singly infected by isolate A19008 or Streptococcus parauberis, and increased to 87.5 % in super-infection group with these two pathogens.

AB  - Soils in boreal forests contain large stocks of carbon. Plants are the main source of this carbon through tissue residues and root exudates. A major part of the exudates are allocated to symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi. In return, the plant receives nutrients, in particular nitrogen from the mycorrhizal fungi. To capture the nitrogen, the fungi must at least partly disrupt the recalcitrant organic matter-protein complexes within which the nitrogen is embedded. This disruption process is poorly characterized. We used spectroscopic analyses and transcriptome profiling to examine the mechanism by which the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus degrades organic matter when acquiring nitrogen from plant litter. The fungus partially degraded polysaccharides and modified the structure of polyphenols. The observed chemical changes were consistent with a hydroxyl radical attack, involving Fenton chemistry similar to that of brown-rot fungi. The set of enzymes expressed by Pa. involutus during the degradation of the organic matter was similar to the set of enzymes involved in the oxidative degradation of wood by brown-rot fungi. However, Pa. involutus lacked transcripts encoding extracellular enzymes needed for metabolizing the released carbon. The saprotrophic activity has been reduced to a radical-based biodegradation system that can efficiently disrupt the organic matter-protein complexes and thereby mobilize the entrapped nutrients. We suggest that the released carbon then becomes available for further degradation and assimilation by commensal microbes, and that these activities have been lost in ectomycorrhizal fungi as an adaptation to symbiotic growth on host photosynthate. The interdependence of ectomycorrhizal symbionts and saprophytic microbes would provide a key link in the turnover of nutrients and carbon in forest ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The introduced Asian parasitic bopyrid isopod, Orthione griffenis, was first discovered on the Pacific coast of North America in Washington in 1988 and next in California in 1992. The range of Orthione presently extends from British Columbia to Baja California, where it infests at least two species of the native estuary mud shrimp, Upogebia. Intense Orthione infestations are associated with the apparent demise of many local populations of Upogebia pugettensis yet nonindigenous origins of Orthione in North America and thus the ecological significance of its impacts have remained in doubt. Six criteria reveal that Orthione is introduced to North America: its conspecificity with disjunct Asian populations, its earliest (1950s) collections in Asia, its late discovery among symbiotic species associated with Upogebia, its historical absence, and its appearance in North America coincident with extensive new ballast water traffic from Asia. Orthione is the first recognized bopyrid isopod invasion globally. Coexistence of U. pugettensis, which are ecosystem engineers, with its newly acquired parasite cannot be assumed. Orthione threatens eastern Pacific estuary ecosystems where Upogebia were previously abundant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The current conditions of many seasonally dry forests in the western and southern United States, especially those that once experienced low- to moderate-intensity fire regimes, leave them uncharacteristically susceptible to high-severity wildfire. Both prescribed fire and its mechanical surrogates are generally successful in meeting short-term fuel-reduction objectives such that treated stands are more resilient to high-intensity wildfire. Most available evidence suggests that these objectives are typically accomplished with few unintended consequences, since most ecosystem components (vegetation, soils, wildlife, bark beetles, carbon sequestration) exhibit very subtle effects or no measurable effects at all. Although mechanical treatments do not serve as complete surrogates for fire, their application can help mitigate costs and liability in some areas. Desired treatment effects on fire hazards are transient, which indicates that after fuel-reduction management starts, managers need to be persistent with repeated treatment, especially in the faster-growing forests in the southern United States.

AB  - We reported previously that ovariectomy alters prepubertal development of mammary myoepithelial cells (MC) by mechanisms that are not well understood. Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed expression of 2 myoepithelial differentiation markers, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CD10), in mammary parenchymal tissue from intact (INT) and ovariectomized (OVX) heifers. On d 40, Holstein heifers underwent either an ovariectomy (OVX; n = 16) or a sham (INT; n = 21) operation. At 55, 70, 85, 100, 130, and 160 d of age, tissues were collected, and multispectral imaging was used to quantify immunofluorescent staining for myoepithelial cell (MC) markers. Fluorescent intensity (FI) of the markers was normalized against a control sample. In the basal epithelial layer, CD10 FI was less and SMA FI was greater in OVX than INT. The ratio of SMA to CD10 FI, as a proxy indicator for MC differentiation, was greater in tissue from OVX compared with INT heifers after 55 d of age. The staining for SMA was frequently more intense along the basal aspect of cells, whereas CD10 expression was localized on the apical surface of the MC. In mammary tissue from both INT and OVX heifers, we observed basal cells that were negative for both CD10 and SMA, some of which appeared to span the distance from basement membrane to the ductal lumen. Interestingly, we also observed CD10+ cells adjacent to the ductal lumen, a situation that was more prevalent in OVX than in INT heifers. Also, ovariectomy affects MC expression of both SMA and CD10, as well as the pattern of MC development. Myoepithelial cells are known to limit parenchymal growth in other species. Involvement of MC as regulators of prepubertal bovine mammary development is worthy of further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Of 20 Lactobacillus and 8 Bifidobacterium species examined, only Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 was able to ferment starch from fava beans. Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 were selected as probiotics for use in fresh-style Panela cheese. Two types of fresh cheese (with and without 3% fava bean starch) were manufactured with 3 combinations of probiotics: L. rhamnosus GG only, B. breve only, or both L. rhamnosus GG and B. breve. During 4 wk of storage at 4°C, the addition of fava bean starch to the cheese was not found to cause significant differences in the viability of either probiotic strain. However, the microstructure and texture of Panela cheese were altered, resulting in a much softer product. A sensory panel showed that the presence of added fava bean starch in Panela cheese was less desirable to consumers, whereas probiotic supplementation had no effect on perceived taste or appearance. Panela cheese could be a suitable food for inclusion of probiotic bacteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA, experienced notable outbreaks of rabies caused by a bat rabies virus variant in carnivore species in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009. The most recent epizootic involved transmission among skunk and fox populations and human exposures. Multiple, wide-ranging control efforts and health communications outreach were instituted in 2009, including a household survey given to community members. Although the Flagstaff community is knowledgeable about rabies and the ongoing outbreaks in general, gaps in knowledge about routes of exposure and potential hosts remain. Future educational efforts should include messages on the dangers of animal translocation and a focus on veterinarians and physicians as valuable sources for outreach. These results will be useful to communities experiencing rabies outbreaks as well as those at current risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gas exchange and chlorophyll content were measured for northern red oak ( Quercus rubra L.), chestnut oak ( Quercus prinus L.), and white oak ( Quercus alba L.) germinants grown at 25%, 18%, and 6% of full sun in one of two native forest soil mixes for two summers. Northern red and chestnut oak photosynthesis at saturating light ( Amax, mass) increased by 23%-36% as light levels increased from 6% to 25% of full sun, while white oak Amax, mass declined by 20% and plateaued at 18% of full sun. White oak light compensation point is representative of deep shade (7.2 µmol·m-2·s-1), while northern red and chestnut oak averaged 17.8 µmol·m-2·s-1. Total chlorophyll content increased as light levels decreased for all species. Of the three species, the slow-growing white oak seedlings appeared to be more efficient in utilizing light than northern red or chestnut oak seedlings. This suggests no additional benefits to increasing light above that typically found in a light shelterwood cut; however, it is crucial to control faster-growing competing vegetation.

AB  - La compréhension des différentes stratégies physiologiques et de croissance dans les milieux ombragés, chez les espèces de chêne des milieux secs, peut aider les aménagistes à relever les défis que représente la faible régénération des chênes. Les échanges gazeux et la teneur en chlorophylle ont été mesurés chez des germinants de chêne rouge ( Quercus rubra L.), de chêne châtaignier ( Quercuc prinus L.) et de chêne blanc ( Quercus alba L.) cultivés sous 25 %, 18 % et 6 % du plein soleil dans l'un des deux mélanges de sol forestier naturel. La photosynthèse à saturation lumineuse ( Amax, masse) des chênes rouge et châtaignier a augmenté de 23 % à 36 % à mesure que l'intensité lumineuse augmentait de 6 % à 25 % du plein soleil, tandis que Amax, masse du chêne blanc a diminué de 20 % et atteint un plateau sous 18 % du plein soleil. Le point de compensation lumineuse du chêne blanc est représentatif d'une situation très ombragée (7,2 µmol·m-2·s-1) tandis qu'il atteignait en moyenne 17,8 µmol·m-2·s-1 chez les chênes rouge et châtaignier. La teneur totale en chlorophylle augmentait à mesure que l'intensité lumineuse diminuait chez toutes les espèces. Des trois espèces, les semis du chêne blanc, une espèce à croissance lente, semblaient utiliser la lumière plus efficacement que les semis des chênes rouge et châtaignier. Cela implique qu'il n'y a pas de bénéfices additionnels à augmenter l'intensité lumineuse au-delà de ce qu'on retrouve dans une coupe progressive légère. Cependant, il est crucial de maîtriser la végétation compétitrice qui croît plus rapidement. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Co-cultivation of the JM/102W strain of Marek's disease virus (MDV) with reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) resulted in the generation of a recombinant MDV containing the REV long terminal repeat (LTR) named the RM1 strain of MDV, a strain that was highly attenuated for oncogenicity but induced severe bursal and thymic atrophy. We hypothesize that the phenotypic changes were solely due to the LTR insertion. Furthermore, we hypothesize that insertion of REV LTR into an analogous location in a different MDV would result in a similar phenotypic change. To test these hypotheses, we inserted the REV LTR into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of a very virulent strain of MDV, Md5, and designated the virus rMd5-RM1-LTR. The rMd5-RM1-LTR virus and the rMd5 virus were passaged in duck embryo fibroblast cells for up to 40 passages before pathogenicity studies. Susceptible chickens were inoculated intra-abdominally at hatch with the viruses rMd5-RM1-LTR, rMd5 BAC parental virus, wild-type strain Md5, or strain RM1 of MDV. The rMd5-RM1-LTR virus was attenuated at cell culture passage 40, whereas the rMd5 BAC without RM1 LTR retained its pathogenicity at cell culture passage 40. Using polymerase chain analysis, the RM1 LTR insert was detected in MDV isolated from buffy coat cells collected from chickens inoculated with rMd5-RM1-LTR, but only at 1 week post inoculation. The data suggest that the presence of the RM1 LTR insert within MDV genome for 1 week post inoculation with virus at hatch is sufficient to cause a reduction in pathogenicity of strain Md5 of MDV.

AB  - SUMMARY To gain a better understanding of the molecular changes taking place in citrus fruit tissue following the application of the yeast biocontrol agent Metschnikowia fructicola, microarray analysis was performed on grapefruit surface wounds using an Affymetrix Citrus GeneChip. Using a cut-off of P < 0.05 and a 1.5-fold change difference as biologically significant, the data indicated that 1007 putative unigenes showed significant expression changes following wounding and yeast application relative to wounded controls. Microarray results of selected genes were validated by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The data indicated that yeast application induced the expression of the genes encoding Respiratory burst oxidase ( Rbo), mitogen-activated protein kinase ( MAPK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase ( MAPKK), G-proteins, chitinase ( CHI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase ( PAL), chalcone synthase ( CHS) and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase ( 4CL). In contrast, three genes, peroxidase ( POD), superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and catalase ( CAT), were down-regulated in grapefruit peel tissue treated with yeast cells. Moreover, suppression was correlated with significantly higher levels of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical production in yeast-treated surface wounds. Interestingly, large amounts of hydrogen peroxide were detected inside yeast cells recovered from wounded fruit tissue, indicating the ability of the yeast to activate reactive oxygen species when it is in contact with plant tissue. This study provides the first global picture of gene expression changes in grapefruit in response to the yeast antagonist M. fructicola. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To evaluate the effectiveness of two spray-based decontamination methods for surface contamination reduction and to determine the potential for contamination spread by these methods. Methods and Results:  Material coupons (treated plywood and concrete) were contaminated with c. 1 × 107 spores of Bacillus atrophaeus by aerosol deposition. Decontaminants (pH-adjusted bleach or Spor-Klenz® RTU) were applied to coupons by either backpack sprayer or gas-powered sprayer. Contact time, reapplication frequency and rinse method were also varied. In addition to surface removal efficacy, partitioning of contamination between the rinsate and aerosol fractions was determined. Results indicated that pH-adjusted bleach was effective (≥6 logs reduction) when two applications and a 30 min contact time were administered, regardless of the decontaminant application method or material. Spor-Klenz® RTU was effective on wood, but achieved ≤3 logs reduction on concrete. A shortened application procedure with pH-adjusted bleach resulted in lower efficacy on wood, and a greater apparent potential for contamination spread. Conclusions:  Consideration of material surface type is important when selecting a decontaminant. Also, achieving conditions that effectively inactivate surface biological contamination are critical to preventing the spread of contamination. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Results presented here are intended to help development of remediation plans following a biological contamination incident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To aid in improvement of breeding programs for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats, breed differences over time were documented and genetic parameters were estimated. Data were from herds with ≥2 breeds (Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, or Toggenburg), but only purebred data were analyzed. Three kidding periods were examined: 1976 through 1984, 1985 through 1994, and 1995 through 2005. Univariate repeatability mixed models were used to estimate least squares means by kidding period-breed and genetic parameters for milk, fat, and protein yields, combined fat and protein yield, fat and protein percentages, protein:fat ratio, age at first kidding, and kidding interval. Trends across kidding periods were favorable for most yield traits for all breeds but generally unfavorable for reproduction traits. Saanens had the highest milk (1,063 to 1,125 kg) and protein yields (31 to 33 kg). Nubians had the highest fat yields (37 to 40 kg) and lowest milk yields (791 to 851 kg). Oberhaslis had the lowest fat (31 to 33 kg) and protein (23 to 27 kg) yields. Alpines had the largest increase in milk yield (7.4%); Oberhaslis had the largest increase in protein (17.4%) and combined fat and protein (13.2%) yields. Combined fat and protein yield was higher for Nubians, Saanens, and Alpines (65 to 72 kg) than for LaManchas, Toggenburgs, and Oberhaslis (53 to 67 kg). Nubians had the highest fat (4.7 to 4.8%) and protein (3.6 to 3.8%) percentages. Only Nubians increased in fat percentage (2.1%); protein percentage increased most for Toggenburgs (7.4%) and Alpines (7.1%). Protein:fat ratio was highest for Toggenburgs (0.84 to 0.89) and lowest for Nubians (0.76 to 0.81), but Nubians had the largest increase in protein:fat ratio (6.6%). Saanens were oldest at first kidding (509 to 589 d), and Toggenburgs and LaManchas generally were youngest (435 to 545 d); age at first kidding increased most for Alpines (21.8%) and LaManchas (21.6%). Kidding intervals generally were shorter for Oberhaslis, LaManchas, and Nubians (350 to 377 d) than for Toggenburgs, Alpines, and Saanens (373 to 387 d). Kidding interval increased most for Nubians (3.9%) and Saanens (3.8%) and decreased only for Oberhaslis (5.4%). Heritability estimates across breeds were 0.35 for milk and fat yields, 0.37 for protein yield and protein:fat ratio, 0.36 for combined fat and protein yield, 0.52 for fat percentage, 0.54 for protein percentage, 0.23 for age at first kidding, and 0.05 for kidding interval. Genetic selection within breed is feasible for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - American chestnut ( Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) was functionally removed as a forest tree by chestnut blight (caused by the fungal pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr). Hybrid-backcross breeding between blight-resistant Chinese chestnut ( Castanea mollissima Blume) and American chestnut is used to support species restoration. However, preliminary evidence suggests that backcross material may not have the cold hardiness needed for restoration in the northern portions of the species' range. The cold tolerance of nuts is of concern because reproductive tissues are particularly sensitive to freezing damage. We assessed nut cold tolerance for 16 American chestnut, four Chinese chestnut, and four red oak ( Quercus rubra L.) (a native competitor) sources to better assess genetic variation in nut hardiness. We found that Chinese chestnut nuts were less cold tolerant than American chestnut and red oak nuts and that American chestnut sources from the south were less cold tolerant than sources from the north, with significant differences among sources within all regions. We also assessed how sources varied among temperature zones (sources separated by average winter temperature lows at source locations). Sources from the cold temperature zone were more cold tolerant and less variable in hardiness than sources from warm and moderate zones. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le châtaignier d'Amérique ( Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) a été fonctionnellement élimé comme essence forestière par la brûlure du châtaignier (causée par le champignon pathogène Cryptonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr.). La méthode de rétrocroisement avec des hybrides entre le châtaignier chinois ( Castania mollissima Blume) qui est résistant à la brûlure du châtaignier et le châtaignier d'Amérique est utilisée pour appuyer la restauration de l'espèce. Cependant, des données préliminaires indiquent que le matériel produit par rétrocroisement n'a peut-être pas la résistance au froid nécessaire pour la restauration dans la portion nord de l'aire de répartition de l'espèce. La tolérance au froid des noix est source d'inquiétude parce que les tissus reproducteurs sont particulièrement sensibles aux dommages causés par le gel. Nous avons évalué la tolérance au froid de 16 châtaigniers d'Amérique, quatre châtaigniers chinois et quatre chênes rouges ( Quercus rubra L.) (un compétiteur indigène) pour mieux saisir la variation génétique de la résistance au froid des noix. Nous avons trouvé que les noix du châtaignier chinois étaient moins tolérants au froid que les noix du châtaignier d'Amérique et du chêne rouge et que les provenances méridionales de châtaignier d'Amérique étaient moins tolérantes au froid que les provenances septentrionales et qu'il y avait des différences significatives parmi les provenances dans toutes les régions. Nous avons également étudié comment les provenances varient entre les zones thermiques (provenances séparées selon les températures minimales moyennes en hiver à leur point d'origine). Les provenances de la zone thermique froide étaient plus tolérantes au froid et avaient une résistance au froid moins variable que les provenances des zones thermiques intermédiaire et chaude.

AB  - The cryosphere—the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in solid form for at least one month of the year—has been shrinking in response to climate warming. The extents of sea ice, snow, and glaciers, for example, have been decreasing. In response, the ecosystems within the cryosphere and those that depend on the cryosphere have been changing. We identify two principal aspects of ecosystem-level responses to cryosphere loss: (1) trophodynamic alterations resulting from the loss of habitat and species loss or replacement and (2) changes in the rates and mechanisms of biogeochemical storage and cycling of carbon and nutrients, caused by changes in physical forcings or ecological community functioning. These changes affect biota in positive or negative ways, depending on how they interact with the cryosphere. The important outcome, however, is the change and the response the human social system (infrastructure, food, water, recreation) will have to that change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Long-term research should play a crucial role in addressing grand challenges in environmental stewardship. We examine the efforts of five Long Term Ecological Research Network sites to enhance policy, management, and conservation decisions for forest ecosystems. In these case studies, we explore the approaches used to inform policy on atmospheric deposition, public land management, land conservation, and urban forestry, including decisionmaker engagement and integration of local knowledge, application of models to analyze the potential consequences of policy and management decisions, and adaptive management to generate new knowledge and incorporate it into decisionmaking. Efforts to enhance the role of long-term research in informing major environmental challenges would benefit from the development of metrics to evaluate impact; stronger partnerships among research sites, professional societies, decisionmakers, and journalists; and greater investment in efforts to develop, test, and expand practice-based experiments at the interface of science and society.

T1  - Interactive effects of Cd and PAHs on contaminants removal from co-contaminated soil planted with hyperaccumulator plant Sedum alfredii.

AB  - Purpose: Soil contamination by multiple organic and inorganic contaminants is common but its remediation by hyperaccumulator plants is rarely reported. The growth of a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii and removal of contaminants from Cd and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) co-contaminated soil were reported in this study. Materials and methods: Soil slightly contaminated by Cd (0.92 mg kg DW) was collected from a vegetable field in Hangzhou and was spiked with two levels (0 and 6 mg kg DW) of Cd and three levels (0, 25, and 150 mg kg DW) of phenanthrene (PHE) or pyrene (PYR). A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using S. alfredii with unplanted controls for 60 days. Shoot and root biomass of plants, dehydrogenase activity (DHA), and microbial biomass carbon in the soil were measured. Concentrations of Cd and PAHs in the plant and soil were determined. Results and discussion: Elevated Cd level (6.38 mg kg DW) increased S. alfredii growth. The presence of PAHs decreased the stimulatory effects of Cd on plant biomass and Cd concentrations in shoots in Cd spiked soil, thus decreasing Cd phytoextraction efficiency. Cadmium removal by S. alfredii after 60 days of growth varied from 5.8% to 6.7% and from 5.7% to 9.6%, in Cd unspiked and spiked soils, respectively. Removal rate of PAHs in the soil was similar with or without the plants. Removal rate of PYR decreased at the elevated Cd level in the soil. This appears to be due to a decrease in soil microbial activity. This is confirmed by a decrease in DHA, which is a good indicator of soil microbial activity. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that S. alfredii could effectively extract Cd from Cd-contaminated soils in the presence of PHE or PYR; however, both PAHs exhibited negative effects on phytoextraction of Cd from Cd spiked soil (6.38 mg kg DW). S. alfredii is not suitable for remediation of PAHs. The effects of Cd and PAHs concentrations on the removal rate of PAHs appear to be attributed to the changes in microbial activities in the soil.

AB  - Sampling techniques currently used to determine control measures for the Coffee Berry-borer (CBB) are time-consuming and allow the grower only a small window of opportunity to select other options. Experiments were conducted in four coffee fields between 2005 and 2007 using IAPAR® traps that were baited with ethanol and methanol (1 : 3 ratio) and benzaldehyde at 1% volume, to test for a correlation between the number of captured adults and infestation levels of CBB, and to determine the action threshold level. For this study, a density 20 traps/ha was used in each experimental area. The number of CBBs captured and infestation level on coffee berries were recorded every 2 weeks. Significant correlation was observed between the trap capture and the infestation level of the CBB in the field. This correlation can enable us to determine action thresholds using traps as sampling methods. Trap catch was very low in all four fields during fruit maturation between March and July, and it increased sharply in August when the CBB emerged from the dry berries that remained on the plants or on the ground.

AB  - Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the environmental fate of recovered manure phosphates for their effective use as crop fertilizers. Materials and methods: A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the leaching potential and vertical distribution of total and plant-available P in a deep sandy Coastal Plain soil of the southern US fertilized with recovered P from liquid pig manure (SRP) and solid broiler litter (LRP). The recovered manure P sources were compared to commercial triple superphosphate (TSP) and raw broiler litter (BL) applied at a single rate of 170 kg PO ha to 71-cm-tall soil columns with and without cotton plants. All materials were uniformly mixed into the surface 15 cm of soil in each column. All treated and control (unfertilised) soil columns were leached weekly with distilled water for 8 weeks. The water obtained after leaching the soil columns was analysed for total P. Cotton plant material was analysed for P content, and the soil columns were sectioned to determine the vertical distributions of total and plant-available P (Mehlich 3 test). Results and discussion: The vertical soil P distribution showed that most of the total and plant-available P applied with SRP, LRP, and BL materials remained within the top 15-cm of the soil columns, where materials were initially applied. The significant increase of both total and soil available P within 15-22.5 cm of soil columns treated with TSP indicated translocation and potential leaching of P applied as TSP. In the short term of this study (8 weeks), the soil leaching potential of both LRP and SRP was lower than the more water-soluble commercial TSP fertilizer. Conclusions: The use of recovered P could minimize manure P losses into the environment from confined animal production and provide a recycled P source for use as crop fertilizer.

AB  - Epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep is a devastating disease of uncertain etiology. To help clarify the etiology, we used culture and culture-independent methods to compare the prevalence of the bacterial respiratory pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica, Bibersteinia trehalosi, Pasteurella multocida, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae in lung tissue from 44 bighorn sheep from herds affected by 8 outbreaks in the western United States. M. ovipneumoniae, the only agent detected at significantly higher prevalence in animals from outbreaks (95%) than in animals from unaffected healthy populations (0%), was the most consistently detected agent and the only agent that exhibited single strain types within each outbreak. The other respiratory pathogens were frequently but inconsistently detected, as were several obligate anaerobic bacterial species, all of which might represent secondary or opportunistic infections that could contribute to disease severity. These data provide evidence that M. ovipneumoniae plays a primary role in the etiology of epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 2010 the International Society of Plant Pathology Committee on the Taxonomy of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria published the Comprehensive List of Names of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria, 1980-2007 to provide an authoritative register of names of plant pathogens. In this manuscript we update the list of names by cataloguing names published from 2008 to 2010. We provide those names that have been validly and effectively published in this time frame, the proposed names that we judged to be invalid and names published earlier that did not make the previous lists. We also discuss problems that arise in the naming of strains that fall into the status Candidatus and nomenclatural problems in the genus Xanthomonas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Based on a composite of several measurement series performed on ice samples stored at -25 °C or -50 °C, we present and discuss the first &dgr;O2/N2 record of trapped air from the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core covering the period between 300 and 800 ka (thousands of years before present). The samples stored at -25 °C show clear gas loss affecting the precision and mean level of the &dgr;O2/N2 record. Two different gas loss corrections are proposed to account for this effect, without altering the spectral properties of the original datasets. Although processes at play remain to be fully understood, previous studies have proposed a link between surface insolation, ice grain properties at close-off, and &dgr;O2/N2 in air bubbles, from which orbitally tuned chronologies of the Vostok and Dome Fuji ice core records have been derived over the last four climatic cycles. Here, we show that limitations caused by data quality and resolution, data filtering, and uncertainties in the orbital tuning target limit the precision of this tuning method for EDC. Moreover, our extended record includes two periods of low eccentricity. During these intervals (around 400 ka and 750 ka), the matching between &dgr;O2/N2 and the different insolation curves is ambiguous because some local insolation maxima cannot be identified in the &dgr;O2/N2 record (and vice versa). Recognizing these limitations, we restrict the use of our &dgr;O2/N2 record to show that the EDC3 age scale is generally correct within its published uncertainty (6 kyr) over the 300-800 ka period.

AB  - Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness are early predictors of CVD. Intervention studies have suggested that diet is related to vascular health, but most prior studies have tested individual foods or nutrients and relied on small samples of younger adults. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships between adherence to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and vascular health in a large cross-sectional analysis. In 5887 adults in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Third Generation cohorts, diet quality was quantified with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Adherence Index (DGAI-2010). Endothelial function was assessed via brachial artery ultrasound and arterial stiffness via arterial tonometry. In age-, sex- and cohort-adjusted analyses, a higher DGAI-2010 score (greater adherence) was modestly associated with a lower resting flow velocity, hyperaemic response, mean arterial pressure, carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index, but not associated with resting arterial diameter or flow-mediated dilation (FMD). In multivariable models adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors, only the association of a higher DGAI-2010 score with a lower baseline flow velocity and augmentation index persisted (β = − 0·002, P= 0·003 and β = − 0·05 ± 0·02, P< 0·001, respectively). Age-stratified multivariate-adjusted analyses suggested that the relationship of higher DGAI-2010 scores with lower mean arterial pressure, PWV and augmentation index was more pronounced among adults younger than 50 years. Better adherence to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, particularly in younger adults, is associated with a lower peripheral blood flow velocity and arterial wave reflection, but not FMD. The present results suggest a link between adherence to the Dietary Guidelines and favourable vascular health. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Measuring and modeling the attractiveness of semiochemical-baited traps is of significant importance to detection, delimitation, and control of invasive pests. Here, we describe the results of field mark--release--recapture experiments with Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to estimate the relationship between distance from a trap baited with trimedlure and methyl eugenol, respectively, and probability of capture for a receptive male insect. Experiments were conducted using a grid of traps with a central release point at two sites on Hawaii Island, a Macadamia orchard on the East side of the island and a lava field on the West side. We found that for B. dorsalis and methyl eugenol there is a 65% probability of capture at ~36 m from a single trap, regardless of habitat. For C. capitata, we found a 65% probability of capture at a distance of ~14 m from a single trap in the orchard and 7 m in the lava field. We also present results on the spatial and temporal pattern of recaptures. The attraction data are analyzed via a hyperbolic secant-based capture probability model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over 20% of Earth's terrestrial surface is underlain by permafrost with vast stores of carbon that, once thawed, may represent the largest future transfer of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere. This process is largely dependent on microbial responses, but we know little about microbial activity in intact, let alone in thawing, permafrost. Molecular approaches have recently revealed the identities and functional gene composition of microorganisms in some permafrost soils and a rapid shift in functional gene composition during short-term thaw experiments. However, the fate of permafrost carbon depends on climatic, hydrological and microbial responses to thaw at decadal scales. Here we use the combination of several molecular 'omics' approaches to determine the phylogenetic composition of the microbial communities, including several draft genomes of novel species, their functional potential and activity in soils representing different states of thaw: intact permafrost, seasonally thawed active layer and thermokarst bog. The multi-omics strategy reveals a good correlation of process rates to omics data for dominant processes, such as methanogenesis in the bog, as well as novel survival strategies for potentially active microbes in permafrost.

Overall, LT25 and LT75 values paralleled the LT50 values. Across genotypes, the LT25 was approximately 1.7°C (3.1°F) higher than the LT50, and the LT75 approximately 1.6°C (2.9°F) lower than the LT50 for any given date. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective of this study was to evaluate soil nutrient loading and depth distributions of extractable nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) after long-term, continuous annual surface applications of anaerobically digested class B biosolids at a municipal recycling facility in central Texas. Commercial forage production fields of coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylonL.) were surface applied at 0, 20, 40, or 60 Mg dry biosolids ha−1 y−1for 8 years. Application duration was evaluated in fields treated with 20 Mg dry biosolids ha−1 y−1for 0, 8, or 20 years. Total soil loads of extractable inorganic N and P increased linearly with application rate, but only extractable P increased with duration. Neither total load nor soil distribution of extractable K was affected by biosolid applications. Mineralization of biosolid-derived organic N and P likely contributed to elevated concentrations of nitrate throughout the soil profile (0–110 cm) and orthophosphate in surface soils (0–40 cm).

AB  - Feeding the world’s population in 40 years will require improved efficiency in the use of plant nutrients and enhancement of soil resources. Over the past 60 years, agricultural production has rapidly increased; however, continued degradation of soil may limit further increases. Improving the soil through enhanced soil biological activity has been proposed as a method of increasing the capacity of the soil to produce crops. Ongoing evaluations of one soil biological fertilizer with a patented process to convert and complex manure into stable finished products (AgroBiotic fertilizers) have been conducted in research plots and producer fields and have shown positive effects on grain yield and potato production. These effects are larger in soils with limited biological activity, suggesting that adding this unique AgroBiotic fertilizer helps restore the biological nutrient cycling in the soil. New developments and innovations that improve nutrient availability and the efficacy of soil biological fertilizers have the potential to help restore degraded soils and improve their production efficiency and capacity to feed the world’s population.

AB  - Removal of soil phosphorus (P) in crop harvest is a remediation option for soils high in P. This 4-year field-plot study determined P uptake by annual ryegrass (ARG,Lolium multiflorumLam.) and common bermudagrass (CB,Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers.) from Ruston soil (fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudult) enriched in P by five previous annual applications of poultry litter, and related P removed to Bray 2 P in surface (0–15 cm) soil. Decreases in surface soil Bray 2 P were largely attributable to uptake. Phosphorus uptake was positively related to Bray 2 P but approached a limit. Mass of P removed in harvest closely approximated the decrease in mass of surface soil Bray 2 P. Maximum Bray 2 P drawdown per harvest (ARG and CB, average) was ˜3 mg kg−1at Bray 2 P ˜ 300 mg kg−1, generally consistent with measured decreases in Bray 2 P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Few of the numerous published studies of the emissions from biofuels-induced "indirect" land use change (ILUC) attempt to propagate and quantify uncertainty, and those that have done so have restricted their analysis to a portion of the modeling systems used In this study, we pair a global, computable general equilibrium model with a model of greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change to quantify the parametric uncertainty in the paired modeling systems estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from ILUC induced by expanded production of three biofuels. We find that for the three fuel systems examined-US com ethanol, Brazilian sugar cane ethanol, and US soybean biodiesel-95% of the results occurred within ±20 g C02e MJ-1 of the mean (coefficient of variation of 20-45%), with economic model parameters related to crop yield and the productivity of newly converted cropland (from forestry and pasture) contributing most of the variance in estimated ILUC emissions intensity. Although the experiments performed here allow us to characterize parametric uncertainty, changes to the model structure have the potential to shift the mean by tens of grams of C02e per megajoule and further broaden distributions for ILUC emission intensities.

AB  - Heat treatment of harvested fruit has been demonstrated to be an effective and a safe approach for managing postharvest decay. In the present study, the effect of a hot water treatment (HT) (45 °C for 10 min) on the response of apple to blue mold infection was investigated. HT was applied to ‘Ultima Gala’ apples using 2 different methods. Wounded apples were: (1) inoculated with a Penicillium expansum spore suspension and then heat-treated after 1, 4 and 24 h (Inoc-HT); or (2) first heat-treated and then inoculated with a P. expansum spore suspension after 1, 4 and 24 h (HT-Inoc). All treated/inoculated apples were stored at 20 °C for 6 days. Significant reductions in fruit rot incidence, up to 100%, were observed using the Inoc-HT protocol at 4 and 24 h while a 30% reduction in blue mold incidence was found at 1 and 4 h using the HT-Inoc method. In vitro experiments showed no evident lethal effect of HT at 45 °C for 10 min on the germination of P. expansum conidia, indicating that this pathogen has a high heat tolerance. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in fruit response to heat treatment, an apple microarray was used to conduct a global transcriptional analysis of gene expression in apple at 0, 15, 30 min, 1, 4, 8 and 24 h after the heat treatment. The results provided evidence that at 1 and 4 h after heating, the HT apples had the highest number of differentially expressed genes. A significant upregulation of heat shock proteins, heat shock cognate protein, and heat shock transcription factor genes, involved in thermotolerance were observed. This indicates that the apple fruit respond to the heat treatment in a programmed manner and suggests that the genes responsible for thermotolerance may also be involved in the induced resistance response.

AB  - The origins of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in swine are unknown, highlighting gaps in our understanding of influenza A virus (IAV) ecology and evolution. We review how recently strengthened influenza virus surveillance in pigs has revealed that influenza virus transmission from humans to swine is far more frequent than swine-to-human zoonosis, and is central in seeding swine globally with new viral diversity. The scale of global human-to-swine transmission represents the largest ‘reverse zoonosis’ of a pathogen documented to date. Overcoming the bias towards perceiving swine as sources of human viruses, rather than recipients, is key to understanding how the bidirectional nature of the human–animal interface produces influenza threats to both hosts.

AB  - This paper uses a computable general equilibrium approach to simulate two opposing views describing regional trade agreements either as building blocks for or stumbling blocks to multilateral trade liberalisation. This study focuses on the regional trade agreement between the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and the European Union (EU). Results show that, although a regional trade agreement may slightly raise welfare among the members of the agreement, the cost to nonmembers can be high. The regional breakdown in our design considers 14 regions, allowing for country-specific analysis for one least-developed country (Democratic Republic of Congo) and one non-least-developed country (Cameroon). Multilateral liberalisation amplifies welfare gain for Cameroon. The Democratic Republic of Congo, with its weaker institutional capacity, is affected negatively. An EU-CEMAC regional free trade agreement without multilateralism produces gains for both Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB  - Sustainable management of arid landscapes is complicated by extreme conditions that constrain biological responses to perturbation, great spatial complexity, and uncertain degrees of ecosystem resilience to climate change. Traditional approaches to the collection, management, and analysis of data from dryland monitoring efforts should consider these complications. Over the past century, research on drylands has gradually transitioned from short-term, plot-scale studies to long-term, regional- and biome-scale efforts. Two thresholds are imminent: a technological tipping point that will facilitate performing novel science using new techniques to collect, manage, and analyze data, and a cultural tipping point, where various research products are shared more freely and through different communication pathways. A new framework could be developed by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and implementing standardized practices regarding data collection, curation, and sharing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ecosystem services have been extensively studied in recent decades. Most of the thousands of scholarly papers published on the subject have focused on describing the production, spatial extent, and valuation of such services. Human reliance on ecosystem services is a function of ecosystems' capacity to supply and societal demand for these benefits. However, considerably more attention has been devoted to the supply side than to the demand for them. Sustainable land management depends on reconciling supply of and demand for ecosystem services among different stakeholders. The emphasis is now shifting from the supply of ecosystem services to attaining a balance between supply and demand. Here, we illustrate the demand for rangeland ecosystem services, describe current changes in societal demand, and present a specific provisioning service to exemplify the dynamic nature of reconciling ecosystem-service supply and demand.

AB  - Desertification is an escalating concern in global drylands, yet assessments to guide management and policy responses are limited by ambiguity concerning the definition of "desertification" and what processes are involved. To improve clarity, we propose that assessments of desertification and land transformation be placed within a state change-land-use change (SC-LUC) framework. This framework considers desertification as state changes occurring within the context of particular land uses (eg rangeland, cropland) that interact with land-use change. State changes that can be readily reversed are distinguished from regime shifts, which are state changes involving persistent alterations to vegetation or soil properties. Pressures driving the transformation of rangelands to other types of land uses may be low, fluctuating, or high, and may influence and be influenced by state change. We discuss how the SC-LUC perspective can guide more effective assessment of desertification and management of drylands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dryland ecosystems are often characterized by patchy vegetation and exposed soil. This structure enhances transport of soil resources and seeds through the landscape (primarily by wind and water, but also by animals), thus emphasizing the importance of connectivity - given its relation to the flow of these materials - as a component of dryland ecosystem function. We argue that, as with the fertile-islands conceptual model before it, the concept of connectivity explains many phenomena observed in drylands. Further, it serves as an organizing principle to understand dryland structure and function at scales from individual plants to entire landscapes. The concept of connectivity also helps to organize thinking about interactions among processes occurring at different scales, such as when processes at one scale are overridden by processes at another. In these cases, we suggest that state change occurs when fine-scale processes fail to adjust to new external conditions through resource use or redistribution at the finer scale. The connectivity framework has practical implications for land management, especially with respect to decision making concerning the scale and location of agricultural production or habitat restoration in the world's drylands.

AB  - The traditional desertification paradigm focuses on the losses of ecosystem services that typically occur when grasslands transition to systems dominated by bare (unvegetated) ground or by woody plants that are unpalatable to domestic livestock. However, recent studies reveal complex transitions across a range of environmental conditions and socioeconomic contexts. The papers in this Special Issue illustrate how an improved understanding of these dynamics is generating more robust paradigms, where state changes and regime shifts occurring within the context of changes in land use and climate are modified by landform and antecedent conditions. New and emerging technologies are being used to characterize and evaluate processes and outcomes across various scales and levels of organization. At the same time, developments in education are taking advantage of these new perspectives to improve the ecological literacy of future generations, and to better inform land-management decisions. A framework that integrates these perspectives provides a more comprehensive approach for understanding and predicting dryland dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Direct-fired fuel cell gas turbine hybrid power system responses to open-loop transients were evaluated using a hardware-based simulation of an integrated solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC/GT) hybrid system, implemented through the Hybrid Performance (Hyper) facility at the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). A disturbance in the cathode inlet air mass flow was performed by manipulating a hot-air bypass valve implemented in the hardware component. Two tests were performed; the fuel cell stack subsystem numerical simulation model was both decoupled and fully coupled with the gas turbine hardware component. The dynamic responses of the entire SOFC/GT hybrid system were studied in this paper. The reduction of cathode airflow resulted in a sharp decrease and partial recovery of the fuel cell thermal effluent in 10 s. In contrast, the turbine rotational speed did not exhibit a similar trend. The transfer functions of several important variables in the fuel cell stack subsystem and gas turbine subsystem were developed to be used in the future control method development. The importance of the cathode airflow regulation was quantified through transfer functions. The management of cathode airflow was also suggested to be a potential strategy to increase the life of fuel cells by reducing the thermal impact of operational transients on the fuel cell subsystem.

AB  - The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and account for the bulk of plant biomass. The coordination between transcriptional regulation of synthesis for each polymer is complex and vital to cell function. A regulatory hierarchy of developmental switches has been proposed, although the full complement of regulators remains unknown. Here we present a protein-DNA network between Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors and secondary cell wall metabolic genes with gene expression regulated by a series of feed-forward loops. This model allowed us to develop and validate new hypotheses about secondary wall gene regulation under abiotic stress. Distinct stresses are able to perturb targeted genes to potentially promote functional adaptation. These interactions will serve as a foundation for understanding the regulation of a complex, integral plant component. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Post-fire salvage logging adds another set of environmental effects to recently burned areas, and previous studies have reported varying impacts on vegetation, soil disturbance, and sediment production with limited data on the underlying processes. Our objectives were to determine how: (1) ground-based post-fire logging affects surface cover, soil water repellency, soil compaction, and vegetative regrowth; (2) different types of logging disturbance affect sediment production at the plot and small catchment (“swale”) scales; and (3) applying logging slash to skid trails affects soil properties, vegetative regrowth, and sediment production. Four study areas were established in severely burned forests in the interior western USA. We installed plots at two study areas to compare burned but unlogged controls against skid trails, feller-buncher trails, and skid trails with added slash. Salvage logged and control swales were established at each study area, but only one study area had simultaneous measurements on replicated swales. Data were collected for 0-2 years prior to logging and from 2-8 years after logging. The skidder and feller-buncher plots generally had greater compaction, less soil water repellency, and slower vegetative regrowth than the controls. Sediment production from the skidder plots was 10–100 times the value from the controls. The slightly less compacted feller-buncher plots produced only 10–30% as much sediment as the skidder plots, but regrowth was similarly inhibited. The relative differences in sediment production between the disturbed plots and the controls tended to increase over time as the controls exhibited more rapid regrowth. Adding slash to skid trails increased total ground cover by 20–30% and reduced the sediment yields by 5–50 times compared to the untreated skidder plots. The replicated logged swales at one study area generally had higher sediment production rates than their controls but the absolute values per unit area were much lower than from the skidder and feller-buncher plots. Results from the swales at the other study areas indicated that logging did not increase runoff, peak flows, or sediment yields. Vegetative regrowth and sediment production rates varied widely among the four study areas. This variation was largely due to differences in rainfall and soil properties, with the more productive sites having more rapid regrowth and thereby a more rapid reduction in sediment production. The susceptibility to surface runoff and erosion after high severity fires suggests that areas disturbed by ground-based salvage logging need additional mitigation practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - African Americans have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and some forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than do European Americans. African Americans also have much higher rates of vitamin D deficiency. There is emerging evidence that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for hypertension, T2D, and CVD, but the extent to which racial disparities in disease rates are explained by racial differences in vitamin D status is uncertain. Despite a large number of observational studies and a limited number of clinical trials that examined 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations as a potential determinant of CVD and T2D or its precursors, it remains uncertain whether improving vitamin D status would reduce risk of these conditions in the general US population or in African Americans specifically. However, if the associations reported from the observational studies are of the estimated magnitudes and causal, vitamin D supplementation could potentially have a strong preventive effect on some of these conditions and could reduce race-related disparities in their prevalence. Because of the low 25(OH)D concentrations of many, if not most, African Americans, and the low risk associated with vitamin D supplementation, it is important to obtain more definitive answers to these questions.

N2  - Background: Phenylbutyrate is a drug used in patients with urea cycle disorder to elicit alternative pathways for nitrogen disposal. However, phenylbutyrate administration decreases plasma branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations, and previous research suggests that phenylbutyrate administration may increase leucine oxidation, which would indicate increased protein degradation and net protein loss. Objective: We investigated the effects of phenylbutyrate administration on whole-body protein metabolism, glutamine, leucine, and urea kinetics in healthy and ornithine transcarbamylase-deficient (OTCD) subjects and the possible benefits of BCAA supplementation during phenylbutyrate therapy. Design: Seven healthy control and 7 partial-OTCD subjects received either phenylbutyrate or no treatment in a crossover design. In addition, the partial-OTCD and 3 null-OTCD subjects received phenylbutyrate and phenylbutyrate plus BCAA supplementation. A multitracer protocol was used to determine the whole-body fluxes of urea and amino acids of interest. Results: Phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis by ~15% without affecting the fluxes of leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, or glutamine and the oxidation of leucine or phenylalanine. The transfer of 15N from glutamine to urea was reduced by 35%. However, a reduction in plasma concentrations of BCAAs due to phenylbutyrate treatment was observed. BCAA supplementation did not alter the respective baseline fluxes. Conclusions: Prolonged phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis and the transfer of 15N from glutamine to urea without parallel reductions in glutamine flux and concentration. There were no changes in total-body protein breakdown and amino acid catabolism, which suggests that phenylbutyrate can be used to dispose of nitrogen effectively without adverse effects on body protein economy.

N2  - Background: Dietary fish-oil supplementation has been shown in human kinetic studies to lower the production rate of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, the major protein component of HDL. The underlying mechanism responsible for this effect is not fully understood. Objective: We investigated the effect and the mechanism of action of the very-long-chain n-3 (omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), relative to the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (PA), on the hepatic expression of apo A-I in HepG2 cells. Design: HepG2 cells were treated with different doses of DHA and PA (0-200 µmol/L). mRNA expression levels of apo A-I were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and apo A-I protein concentrations were measured by immunoassay. DHA dose-dependently suppressed apo A-I mRNA levels and also lowered apo A-I protein concentrations in the media, with maximum effects at 200 µmol/L. This concentration of fatty acids was used in all subsequent experiments. Results: To elucidate the mechanism mediating the reduction in apo A-I expression by DHA, transfection experiments were conducted with plasmid constructs containing serial deletions of the apo A-I promoter. The DHA-responsive region was mapped to the -185 to -148 nucleotide region of the apo A-I promoter, which binds the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3β. Nuclear extracts from cells treated with DHA or PA had a similar nuclear abundance of HNF-3β. However, electrophoresis mobility shift assays showed less binding of HNF-3β to the -180 to -140 sequence of the apo A-I promoter than did PA-treated cells. As shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, less HNF-3β was recruited to the apo A-I promoter in DHA-treated cells than in PA-treated cells, which supports the concept of an interference of DHA with the binding of HNF-3β to the apo A-I promoter. Conclusion: These findings suggest that, in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, DHA inhibits the binding of HNF-3β to the apo A-I promoter, resulting in the repression of apo A-I promoter transactivity and thus a reduction in apo A-I expression.

N2  - Background: The bioconversion efficiency of yellow maize β-carotene to retinol in humans is unknown. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the vitamin A value of yellow maize β-carotene in humans. Design: High β-carotene-containing yellow maize was grown in a hydroponic medium with 23 atom% 2H2O during grain development. Yellow maize β-carotene showed the highest abundance of enrichment as [2H9]β-carotene. Eight healthy Zimbabwean men volunteered for the study. On day 1 after a fasting blood draw, subjects consumed 300 g yellow maize porridge containing 1.2 mg β-carotene, 20 g butter, and a 0.5-g corn oil capsule. On day 8, fasting blood was drawn, and subjects consumed 1 mg [13C10]retinyl acetate in a 0.5-g corn oil capsule and 300 g white maize porridge with 20 g butter. Thirty-six blood samples were collected from each subject over 36 d. Concentrations and enrichments of retinol and β-carotene in labeled doses and serum were determined with the use of HPLC, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The area under the curve (AUC) of retinol from 1.2 mg yellow maize β-carotene was 72.9 nmol.d, and the AUC of retinol from 1 mg retinyl acetate 13C10 was 161.1 nmol.d. The conversion factor of yellow maize β-carotene to retinol by weight was 3.2±1.5 to 1. Conclusion: In 8 healthy Zimbabwean men, 300 g cooked yellow maize containing 1.2 mg β-carotene that was consumed with 20.5 g fat showed the same vitamin A activity as 0.38 mg retinol and provided 40-50% of the adult vitamin A Recommended Dietary Allowance.

N2  - Background: Self-perceived lactose intolerance may result in adverse dietary modifications; thus, more studies are needed to understand the prevalence of self-perceived lactose intolerance and how it relates to calcium intake and selected health conditions. Objective: The objective was to examine the effects of self-perceived lactose intolerance as it relates to calcium intake and specific health problems that have been attributed to reduced intakes of calcium and dairy foods in a nationally representative multiethnic sample of adults. Design: This was a cross-sectional study in a national sample of 3452 adults. The relation between self-perceived lactose intolerance, calcium intakes, and physician-diagnosed health conditions was analyzed by using linear regression analyses. Results: Of the total sample, 12.3% of respondents perceived themselves to be lactose intolerant. The age-adjusted prevalence of self-perceived lactose intolerance was 7.8% for non-Hispanic whites, 20.1% for non-Hispanic blacks, and 8.8% for Hispanics. Respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance had significantly lower (P&lt;0.05) average daily calcium intakes from dairy foods than did those without self-perceived lactose intolerance. A significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) percentage of respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance than of respondents without self-perceived lactose intolerance reported having physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension. The odds of self-reported physician-diagnosed diabetes or hypertension decreased by factors of 0.70 and 0.60, respectively, for a 1000-mg increase in calcium intake from dairy foods per day. Conclusions: Self-perceived lactose-intolerant respondents had a significantly lower calcium intake from dairy foods and reported having a significantly higher rate of physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension.

N2  - Background: Although the effects of replacing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) with water on energy intake and body weight have been reported, little is known about how these replacements affect diet quality. Objective: To simulate the effects of replacing SSBs with tap water on diet quality and total energy intake of Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) adults. Design: Retrospective analysis of cross-sectional dietary intake data using a representative sample of LMD adults (n=1,689). Diet quality was measured using the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005) scores that were computed using the population ratio method. The effects of substituting SSBs with water on diet quality were simulated by replacing the targeted items' nutrient profile with tap water's profile. Results: Simulating the replacement of SSBs with tap water at 25, 50, and 100% levels resulted in 1-, 2.3-, and 3.8-point increases, respectively, in the HEI-2005 total score. Based on a mean daily intake of 2,011 kcal, 100% substitution of SSBs with tap water would result in 11% reduction in energy intake. Conclusions: Replacing SSBs with water could substantially improve the diet quality of the LMD adult population and potentially lead to significant weight loss overtime. Prioritizing intervention efforts to focus on the replacement of SSBs with energy-free drinks may be the most efficacious approach for conveying potentially substantial health benefits in this and similar disadvantaged populations.

N2  - Evaluating the impact of poverty-reduction programs on fertility is complicated given that changes in incentives to have children take time to be incorporated into decision making and evaluation periods are usually quite brief. We explore the use of birth spacing as a short-run indicator of the impact of poverty-reduction programs on fertility. The data come from a Nicaraguan conditional cash transfer program that offers incentives for poor households to invest in children's health, nutrition, and education. We estimate a stratified Cox proportional hazard model and find that the program decreased the hazard of a birth, indicating an increase in birth spacing.

N2  - To study the contributions of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) to the gluten macropolymer and dough properties, wheat HMW-GS (x- and y-types) are synthesized in a bacterial expression system. These subunits are then purified and used to supplement dough mixing and extensigraph experiments through dough partial reduction and reoxidation to allow these exogenously added HMW-GS to incorporate into gluten polymers. Detailed results are given for seven mixing and two extension parameters. HMW-GS synthesized in bacteria behaved similarly under these conditions to the same HMW-GS extracted from wheat flour. These experiments initially focused on the HMW-GS of the D-genome of hexaploid wheat encoded at the Glu-D1 locus; e.g. the Dx2, Dx5, Dy10, and Dy12 subunits. Experiments used five different flours and results are shown to be consistent when normalized to results from Dx5. The incorporation of Dx-type subunits into the gluten disulfide bonded network has greater effects on dough parameters than incorporation of Dy-type subunits. When Glu-D1 x- and y-type subunits are incorporated together, there are synergistic effects greater than those with either subunit type alone. This synergistic effect was greatest with approximately equal amounts of Dx- and Dy-type subunits - implying a 1:1 stoichiometric relationship.

N2  - An in vitro system for incorporating bacterially produced high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) into doughs was used to study the effects of specific domains of the HMW-GS. Synergistic effects of incorporating into doughs both the Dx5 and Dy10 subunits are localized to the N-terminal domains. All single and pair-wise combinations of original subunits and hybrid subunits with their N-terminal domains exchanged between Dx5 and Dy10 finds three classes of respondents: the greatest response is when the N-termini of both Dx5 and Dy10 are present, followed by presence of the Dx5 N-terminus alone, and the least response by the presence of the Dy10 N-terminus alone. In addition, studies of Dx5 variants possessing repetitive domains of different length and composition find evidence that the length of the HMW-GS repetitive domain is important for dough properties and that the exact composition of the repeat domain has a detectible, though lesser contribution. Finally, in this experimental system, the Glu-D1 x- and y-subunits function in the mixing experiments as if they were a fused dimer, although the exact molecular basis of the effect is not known.

N2  - In poultry processing plants, fecal material and ingesta are the primary source of carcass contamination with microbial pathogens. The current practice of the poultry inspection in the United States is primarily human visual observations. Since the visual inspection is becoming more challenging in poultry processing plants adopting high-speed lines, a rapid sorting system could significantly improve the detection and monitoring of carcasses with surface fecal material and ingesta. As a result, we developed a prototype line-scan hyperspectral imaging system configured as a real-time multispectral imaging subsystem for online detection of surface fecal material and ingesta. Specifically, we integrated a commercially available off-the-shelf hyperspectral image camera into the system with two line lights and a custom software program for real-time multispectral imaging. The bottleneck of the imaging system was the data acquisition. For that reason, a multithreaded software architecture was designed and implemented not only to meet the application requirements such as speed and detection accuracy, but also to be customizable to different imaging applications such as systemic disease detection in the future. The image acquisition and processing speed tests confirmed the system could operate to scan poultry carcasses in commercial poultry processing plants. The fecal detection algorithm was based on the previous research using different hyperspectral imaging systems. A new carcass detection and image formation algorithm was developed to allow existing image processing and detection algorithms reusable without any modifications. Sixteen chicken carcasses and four different types of fecal and ingesta samples were used in a study to test the imaging system at two different speeds (140 birds per minute and 180 birds per minute) in a pilot-scale poultry processing facility. The study found that the system could grab and process three waveband images of carcasses moving up to 180 birds per minute (a line-scan rate 286 Hz) and detect fecal material and ingesta on their surfaces. The detection accuracy of the system varied between 89% and 98% with minimum false positive errors (less than 1%), depending on tested detection algorithms. Therefore, these findings provide the basis of not only a commercially viable imaging platform for fecal detection but also a single poultry inspection system for multiple tasks such as systemic disease detection and quality sorting.

N2  - Intake of added sugars, mainly fructose and sucrose, has been associated with risk factors for cognitive impairment, such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The objective of this analysis was to examine whether habitual intakes of total sugars, added sugars, sugar-sweetened beverages or sweetened solid foods are associated with cognitive function. The present study included 737 participants without diabetes, aged 45-75 years, from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, 2004-9. Cognitive function was measured with a battery of seven tests: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), word list learning, digit span, clock drawing, figure copying, and Stroop and verbal fluency tests. Usual dietary intake was assessed with a validated FFQ. Greater intakes of total sugars, added sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages, but not of sugar-sweetened solid foods, were significantly associated with lower MMSE score, after adjusting for covariates. Adjusted OR for cognitive impairment (MMSE score &lt;24) were 2.23 (95% CI 1.24, 3.99) for total sugars and 2.28 (95% CI 1.26, 4.14) for added sugars, comparing the highest with lowest intake quintiles. Greater intake of total sugars was also significantly associated with lower word list learning score. In conclusion, higher sugar intake appears to be associated with lower cognitive function, but longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the direction of causality.

N2  - This chapter focuses on food away from home in the United States, changes in this market over time, and how these changes raise questions for policymakers and others concerned about both agriculure and diet quality. Because Americans are purchasing more of their foods away from home, trends in this market are ever more important to agricultural producers. Shifts in where people eat can affect the underlying demand for commodities such as potatoes and milk products. Changes in what people eat can also affect nutrient intake and overall health. Much research has been conducted on conditions in the United States, and though important differences exist between conditions in the United States and elsewhere, trends in the American market may help researchers and others to understand and forecast changes elsewhere.

N2  - This chapter provides an overview of the scope of current food safety problems and the food safety policy reforms being adopted to address them around the world. Current efforts to modernize food safety policy are being shaped by several larger trends: globalization, use of risk analysis and cost-benefit analysis in public administration, and total quality management regimes in industry. Also briefly examined are 2 major roles that public economics can play in food safety policy: better informing policymakers about the social benefits and costs of their decisions, and strengthening risk assessment.

N2  - Vesicular stomatitis (VS) viruses have been classified into two serotypes: New Jersey (VSNJV) and Indiana (VSIV). Here, we have characterized field isolates causing vesicular stomatitis in Brazil and Argentina over a 35-year span. Cluster analysis based on either serological relatedness, as inferred from virus neutralization and complement fixation assays, or nucleotide sequences of two separate genes (phosphoprotein or glycoprotein) grouped the field isolates into two distinct monophyletic groups within the Indiana serogroup. One group included seven viruses from Brazil and Argentina that were serologically classified as Indiana-2 and Cocal virus (COCV). The other group contained three viruses from Brazil that were serologically classified as Indiana-3 and the prototype of this group, Alagoas virus (VSAV). Interestingly, two vesiculoviruses that were isolated from insects but do not cause disease in animals, one from Brazil (Maraba virus; MARAV) and the other from Colombia (CoAr 171638), grouped into two separate genetic lineages within the Indiana serotype. Our data provide support for the classification of viruses causing clinical VS in livestock in Brazil and Argentina into two distinct groups: Indiana-2 (VSIV-2) and Indiana-3 (VSIV-3). We suggest using nomenclature for these viruses that includes the serotype, year and place of occurrence, and affected host. This nomenclature is consistent with that currently utilized to describe field isolates of VSNJV or VSIV in scientific literature.

N2  - Background and aims: The APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster encodes key regulators of plasma lipids. Interactions between dietary factors and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cluster have been reported. Allostatic load, or physiological dysregulation in response to stress, has been implicated in shaping health disparities in ethnic groups. We aimed to determine the association between polymorphisms in the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster with allostatic load parameters, alone, and in interaction with dietary fat intake in Puerto Ricans adults. Methods and results: Data on demographic and anthropometric measures, lifestyle behaviors, and medication use, as well as blood and urine samples for biomarker analysis, were obtained from participants of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (n=821, age 45-75 y). The 12 polymorphisms analyzed were not associated with allostatic load parameters. Significant interactions were observed between dietary fat intake and APOA1 -75 in association with waist circumference (WC), (P=0.005), APOC3 -640 with diastolic blood pressure (DBP), (P=0.003), and APOA4 N147S and APOA5 S19W with systolic blood pressure (SBP), (P=0.001 and P=0.002, respectively). Puerto Ricans homozygous for the common allele of APOA1 -75, APOA4 N147S and APOA5 S19W had lower WC and SBP when consuming &lt;31% of total fat from energy, than participants with the minor allele. Participants heterozygous for APOC3 -640 had lower DBP at total fat intake ≥31% from energy. Conclusion: SNPs in APOA1/C3/A4/A5, as modulated by dietary fat intake, appear to influence allostatic load parameters in Puerto Ricans.

N2  - The current Department of Defense pest management system does not provide adequate protection from arthropod disease vectors to personnel deployed in support of US military operations. We hypothesized that military camouflage netting, ubiquitous around living and working areas in current US military operations in Africa and the Middle East, treated with a residual pesticide such as bifenthrin may reduce the presence of biting insects and improve the military pest management system. In this study, we examined the longevity and efficacy of bifenthrin applied to camouflage netting material at the maximum label rate of 0.03 liter formulation (7.9% AI) per 92.9 m2 against field populations of mosquitoes in southern California in a hot-arid environment similar to regions of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. We showed that bifenthrin treatment of camouflage netting was effective at reducing mosquito populations, predominantly Psorophora columbiae and Aedes vexans, by an average of up to 46% for 56 days, and could cause as much as 40% mortality in Culex quinquefasciatus in laboratory bioassays for nearly 2 months postapplication. These population reductions could translate to commensurate reductions in risk of exposure to mosquito-borne pathogens, and could potentially be effective against sand flies and filth flies.

N2  - Microcystins (MCs) are the most common cyanotoxins found worldwide in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments. The rapid and accurate analysis of MCs and nodularin (Nod-R) in fish tissue is important for determining occurrence, following trends, and monitoring exposure for risk assessment and other purposes. The aim of this study was to develop a streamlined and reliable sample preparation method for eight MCs (MC-RR, MC-YR, MC-LR, MC-WR, MC-LA, MC-LY, MC-LW, and MC-LF) and Nod-R in fish, and conduct a validation of the new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for analysis and compare the results with a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Different sample preparation methods were compared, and a simple extraction protocol with acidified acetonitrile/water (3:1) followed by hexane partitioning cleanup was found to be most effective. Thorough validation of the final method was conducted, and 90-115% recoveries were achieved for all analytes except for MC-RR, which gave 130% average recovery (isotopically labeled internal standards were unavailable to correct for possible biases). The use of electrospray ionization in the negative mode gave few interferences and minimal matrix effects in the LC-MS/MS analysis overall. Precision was typically 10-20% RSD among multiple days in experiments, detection limits were &lt;10 ng/g in the fish tissue (catfish, basa, and swai filets), and no false-positives or false-negatives occurred in blind analyses of many spiked samples. The ELISA was unable to distinguish between MCs but was found to correctly assess the presence or absence of MCs and Nod-R in the blind-fortified fish tissues. The capability of these approaches to measure covalently bound MCs was not assessed.

N2  - Determining the effect of selenium (Se) chemical form on uptake, transport, and glutathione peroxidase activity in human intestinal cells is critical to assess Se bioavailability at nutritional doses. In this study, we found that two sources of L-selenomethionine (SeMet) and Se-enriched yeast each increased intracellular Se content more effectively than selenite or methylselenocysteine (SeMSC) in the human intestinal Caco-2 cell model. Interestingly, SeMSC, SeMet, and digested Se-enriched yeast were transported at comparable efficacy from the apical to basolateral sides, each being about 3-fold that of selenite. In addition, these forms of Se, whether before or after traversing from apical side to basolateral side, did not change the potential to support glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity. Although selenoprotein P has been postulated to be a key Se transport protein, its intracellular expression did not differ when selenite, SeMSC, SeMet, or digested Se-enriched yeast was added to serum-contained media. Taken together, our data show, for the first time, that the chemical form of Se at nutritional doses can affect the absorptive (apical to basolateral side) efficacy and retention of Se by intestinal cells; but that, these effects are not directly correlated to the potential to support GPx activity.

N2  - Our objective was to resequence insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) to identify variants associated with obesity- and diabetes-related traits in Hispanic children. Exonic and intronic segments, 5′ and 3′ flanking regions of IRS2 (~14.5 kb), were bidirectionally sequenced for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery in 934 Hispanic children using 3730XL DNA Sequencers. Additionally, 15 SNPs derived from Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChips were analyzed. Measured genotype analysis tested associations between SNPs and obesity and diabetes-related traits. Bayesian quantitative trait nucleotide analysis was used to statistically infer the most likely functional polymorphisms. A total of 140 SNPs were identified with minor allele frequencies (MAF) ranging from 0.001 to 0.47. Forty-two of the 70 coding SNPs result in nonsynonymous amino acid substitutions relative to the consensus sequence; 28 SNPs were detected in the promoter, 12 in introns, 28 in the 3′-UTR, and 2 in the 5′-UTR. Two insertion/deletions (indels) were detected. Ten independent rare SNPs (MAF=0.001-0.009) were associated with obesity-related traits (P=0.01-0.00002). SNP 10510452_139 in the promoter region was shown to have a high posterior probability (P=0.77-0.86) of influencing BMI, fat mass, and waist circumference in Hispanic children. SNP 10510452_139 contributed between 2 and 4% of the population variance in body weight and composition. None of the SNPs or indels were associated with diabetes-related traits or accounted for a previously identified quantitative trait locus on chromosome 13 for fasting serum glucose. Rare but not common IRS2 variants may play a role in the regulation of body weight but not an essential role in fasting glucose homeostasis in Hispanic children.

N2  - We report an outbreak of equine piroplasmosis in southern Texas, USA, in 2009. Infection prevalence reached 100% in some areas (292 infected horses). Amblyomma cajennense was the predominant tick and experimentally transmitted Theileria equi to an uninfected horse. We suggest that transmission by this tick species played a role in this outbreak.

N2  - The effects of cinnamaldehyde (CINN) on in vitro parameters of immunity and in vivo protection against avian coccidiosis were evaluated. In vitro stimulation of chicken spleen lymphocytes with CINN (25-400 ng/ml) induced greater cell proliferation compared with the medium control (P&lt;0.001). CINN activated cultured macrophages to produce higher levels of NO at 1.2-5.0 µg/ml (P&lt;0.001), inhibited the growth of chicken tumour cells at 0.6-2.5 µg/ml (P&lt;0.001) and reduced the viability of Eimeria tenella parasites at 10 and 100 µg/ml (P&lt;0.05 and P&lt;0.001, respectively), compared with media controls. In chickens fed a diet supplemented with CINN at 14.4 mg/kg, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15 and interferon-γ transcripts in intestinal lymphocytes were 2- to 47-fold higher (P&lt;0.001) compared with chickens given a non-supplemented diet. To determine the effect of CINN diets on avian coccidiosis, chickens were fed diets supplemented with CINN at 14.4 mg/kg (E. maxima or E. tenella) or 125 mg/kg (E. acervulina) from hatch for 24 d, and orally infected with 2.0×104 sporulated oocysts at age 14 d. CINN-fed chickens showed 16.5 and 41.6% increased body-weight gains between 0-9 d post-infection (DPI) with E. acervulina or E. maxima, reduced E. acervulina oocyst shedding between 5-9 DPI and increased E. tenella-stimulated parasite antibody responses at 9 DPI compared with controls.

N2  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of a "walking school bus" program on children's rates of active commuting to school and physical activity. METHODS: We conducted a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial among 4th-graders from 8 schools in Houston, Texas (N=149). Random allocation to treatment or control conditions was at the school level. Study staff walked with children to and from school up to 5 days/week. Outcomes were measured the week before (time 1) and during weeks 4 and 5 of the intervention (time 2). The main outcome was the weekly rate of active commuting, and a secondary outcome was moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Covariates included sociodemographics, distance from home to school, neighborhood safety, child BMI z score, parent self-efficacy/outcome expectations, and child self-efficacy for active commuting. A mixed-model repeated measures regression accounted for clustering by school, and stepwise procedures with backward elimination of nonsignificant covariates were used to identify significant predictors. RESULTS: Intervention children increased active commuting (mean±SD) from 23.8%±9.2% (time 1) to 54%±9.2% (time 2), whereas control subjects decreased from 40.2%±8.9% (time 1) to 32.6%±8.9% (time 2) (P&lt;.0001). Intervention children increased their minutes of daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity from 46.6±4.5 (time 1) to 48.8±4.5 (time 2), whereas control children decreased from 46.1±4.3 (time 1) to 41.3±4.3 (time 2) (P=.029). CONCLUSIONS: The program improved children's active commuting to school and daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

N2  - Scutellaria lateriflora, commonly known as skullcap, is used as an ingredient in numerous herbal products. However, it has been occasionally adulterated/contaminated with Teucrium canadense and/or Teucrium chamaedrys, commonly known as germander, due to the morphological similarities between the two genera. The latter contains hepatotoxic diterpenes. Despite the potential hepatotoxicity introduced by germander contamination, analytical methodologies for the authentication and quality assessment of S. lateriflora-based dietary supplements have not been reported. In this study, a flow-injection/mass spectrometry fingerprinting method in combination with principal component analysis was used to survey S. lateriflora-based dietary supplements sold in the USA.

N2  - Folic acid fortification of cereal grains was introduced in many countries to prevent neural tube defect occurrence. The metabolism of folic acid and vitamin B12 intersect during the transfer of the methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine catalyzed by B12-dependent methioine synthase. Regeneration of tetrahydrofolate via this reaction makes it available for synthesis of nucleotide precursors. Thus either folate or vitamin B12 deficiency can result in impaired cell division and anemia. Exposure to extra folic acid through fortification may be detrimental to those with vitamin B12 deficiency. Among participants of National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey with low vitamin B12 status, high serum folate (&gt;59 nmol/L) was associated with higher prevalence of anemia and cognitive impairment when compared with normal serum folate. We also observed an increase in the plasma concentrations of total homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA), two functional indicators of vitamin B12 status, with increase in plasma folate under low vitamin B12 status. These data strongly imply that high plasma folate is associated with the exacerbation of both the biochemical and clinical status of vitamin B12 deficiency. Hence any food fortification policy that includes folic acid should also include vitamin B12.

N2  - Objective: To determine the number of 24 h dietary recalls required to adequately estimate nutrient intake in overweight and obese adults using the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) automated multiple-pass method (AMPM). In addition, the study quantified sources of variation in dietary intake, such as day of the week, season, sequence of diet interviews (training effect), diet interviewer, body weight and within- and between-subject variances in the intake of selected nutrients. Design: Adults having a BMI of ≥28 but &lt;38 kg/m2 were included in the study. The USDA's AMPM was used to obtain 24 h dietary recalls every 10 d for 6 months. Dietary intake data were analysed to adequately estimate the number of 24 h recalls necessary to assess nutrient intake. Variance component estimates were made by using a mixed-model procedure. Setting: The greater Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Subjects: Adults (34 men and 39 women) aged 35-65 years. Results: Overweight and obese adults completed fourteen 24 h dietary recalls. Utilizing within- and between-subject variances requires 5-10 and 12-15 d of 24 h dietary recalls in men and women, respectively, to estimate energy and macronutrient intakes in a 6-month period. Within- and between-subject variances were the major contributors to variance in nutrient intakes. Day of the week, season, sequence, diet interviewer and body weight had little impact on variance. Conclusions: This information is valuable for researchers planning to conduct studies on free-living individuals that include the collection of dietary intake data.

N2  - Mosquito iridescent viruses (MIV) are members of the genus Chloriridovirus that currently contains only the type IIV-3 from Aedestaeniorhynchus. The complete genome of invertebrate iridescent virus -3 (IIV-3) has been sequenced and the availability of a tissue culture system would facilitate functional genomic studies. This investigation, using quantitative PCR and electron microscopy, has determined that the mosquito cell lines Aedes aegypti (Aag2), Aedes albopictus (C6/36) and Anopheles gambiae (4a3A) as well as the lepidopteran cell line from Spodoptera frugiperda (SF9) are permissive to IIV-3 infection. However, IIV-3 infection remained longer in Aag2 and C6/36 cells. Virus produced in C6/36 cell line was infectious to larvae of A. taeniorhynchus by injection and per os. Ultrastructural examination of 4a3A and SF9 cells infected with IIV-3 revealed an unusual feature, where virions were localized to mitochondria. It is speculated that containment with mitochondria may play a role in the lack of persistence in these cell lines.

N2  - To better understand the effect of temperature on mycotoxin biosynthesis, RNA-Seq technology was used to profile the Aspergillus flavus transcriptome under different temperature conditions. This approach allowed us to quantify transcript abundance for over 80% of fungal genes including 1153 genes that were differentially expressed at 30 and 37°C. Eleven of the 55 secondary metabolite clusters were upregulated at the lower temperature, including aflatoxin biosynthesis genes, which were among the most highly upexpressed genes. On average, transcript abundance for the 30 aflatoxin biosynthesis genes was 3300 times greater at 30°C as compared with 37°C. The results are consistent with the view that high temperature negatively affects aflatoxin production by turning down transcription of the two key transcriptional regulators, aflR and aflS. Subtle changes in the expression levels of aflS to aflR appear to control transcription activation of the aflatoxin cluster.

N2  - Strain NRRL B-23883T was isolated from retail ground beef as part of a study on the genetic diversity of Clostridium perfringens. The strain was found to be a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive coccus that was able to utilize peptone as a sole carbon source. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain was closely related to species within the genera Peptoniphilus and Anaerosphaera, but it was substantially different from the closest recognized species by nearly 10% sequence divergence. The strain was also found to be closely related (&gt;99% sequence similarity) to an uncultured bacterial strain that was sequenced from a 16S rRNA gene clone library constructed to characterize the bacterial community of faeces from a captive spotted hyena. Strain NRRL B-23883T shared the peptidoglycan type A4β, L-Orn-D-Glu with members of the genus Peptoniphilus. Further phenotypic analysis revealed that strain NRRL B-23883T was able to utilize glycyl L-methionine as a sole carbon source, in contrast to other species of the genus Peptoniphilus. Therefore, it is proposed that the isolate represents a novel species, Peptoniphilus methioninivorax sp. nov.; the type strain is NRRL B-23883T (=DSM 22461T).

N2  - Water is considered the single most important nutrient, yet receives relatively little attention from nutritional experts. This is likely due to the fortunate fact that finely-tuned physiological mechanisms ensure adequate intake in the vast majority of individuals. Accordingly, some even question whether the standard "8 daily glasses" are necessary. Moreover, water is a major constituent of food, comprising up to ~95% of the weight of some common plant-based foods; thus, consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and dairy will inadvertently increase water intake. An added benefit of consuming more water in food is the increased satiation for lower caloric density which facilitates weight loss and maintenance. While most healthy individuals adequately fulfill their hydration needs through the physiological thirst response, some special populations including the very young, very old, and athletes, do deserve special consideration. With the increased incentive for Americans to increase their physical activity, and the increased prevalence of recreational athletes entering endurance athletic events, comes increased impetus to educate all individuals on the importance of proper hydration during exercise training. Most athletes, both professional and recreational, do not obtain adequate hydration to match sweat losses, while some novice endurance athletes over-hydrate placing them at risk for hyponatremia, a potentially life-threatening condition. In general, increasing the consumption of water-rich foods, replacing most caloric beverages with water, and learning about personal hydration needs is sound nutritional advice for everyone to follow.

N2  - Objective: To determine potential factors regulating gluconeogenesis (GNG) in extremely low birth weight infants receiving total parenteral nutrition. Study design: Seven infants (birth weight, 0.824±0.068 kg; gestational age, 25.4±0.5 weeks; postnatal age, 3.3±0.2 days) were studied for 11 hours, with parenteral lipid and amino acid therapy continued at prestudy rates. Glucose was supplied at prestudy rates for the first 5 hours (period 1) and was then reduced to 6 mg/kg.min for 1 hour and further to ~3 mg/kg.min for 5 hours (period 2). A total of 2.5 mg/kg.min of the glucose was replaced by [U-13C]glucose throughout the study for measurements of glucose production and GNG. Concentrations of glucose, insulin, glucagons, and cortisol were determined. Results: GNG and glucose production remained unchanged (2.12±0.23 vs. 1.84±0.25 mg/kg.min [P=NS] and 2.44±0.27 vs. 2.51±0.31 mg/kg.min [P=NS], respectively), despite a 60% reduction of the glucose infusion rate and subsequent 30% (124.7±10.8 to 82.6±8.9 mg/dL; P=.009) and 70% (26.9±4.7 to 6.6±0.4 µU/mL; P=.002) decreases in glucose and insulin concentrations, respectively. Cortisol and glucagon concentrations remained unchanged. Conclusion: In extremely low birth weight infants receiving total parenteral nutrition, GNG is a continuous process that is not affected by infusion rates of glucose or concentrations of glucose or insulin.

N2  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Counties with higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified food manager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

N2  - One refined and two crude glycerol (from biodiesel production) samples were utilized to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by Pseudomonas oleovorans NRRL B-14682. A batch culture fermentation protocol including 1% glycerol and an aeration rate of 3 standard liters per minute proved best for PHB synthesis (av. yield=1.0±0.2 g/L at 48 h) and efficient glycerol utilization. PHB molecular weights decreased as MeOH concentration increased. Refined glycerol resulted in PHB polymers with number average molecular weights (Mn) of 314,000 g/mol which decreased by 17 and 90% as MeOH media concentrations increased to &lt;0.005 and 0.85%, respectively. Proton (1H) NMR demonstrated the presence of glycerol- and methoxy-based end-capping, which was confirmed by 1H diffusion experiments (DOSY analyses). NMR diffusion analyses of the PHB polymers established their diffusivities, and confirmed that their relative molecular sizes were dependent on the impurities in the glycerol. In addition, DOSY analyses indicated that each end-capped PHB polymer and the glycerol or methoxy groups bound to it had the same diffusion constants, demonstrating that they migrated together as covalent complexes. Non-covalent complexation was eliminated by physically mixing free glycerol with PHB synthesized from oleic acid; their respective diffusivities were notably faster.

N2  - Cereal fibre and whole-grain intakes have been consistently associated in the epidemiological literature with reduced mortality and risk of chronic disease including obesity, CVD and type 2 diabetes. The present review focuses on intervention trials with three primary aims: (1) understanding the mechanisms through which fibre consumption improves health (for example, examination of intermediate endpoints reflecting improved lipid, glucose and energy metabolism); (2) close evaluation of qualitative factors which modify fibre's effectiveness including physiochemical properties (for example, solubility, fermentability and viscosity), fibre extract molecular weight, fibre particle size and botanical structure of the fibre source grain; and (3) identification of areas in which additional research is needed. The first two aims typify the goals of nutrition research, in that improved understanding of the specific factors which determine fibre's health benefits has critical implications for dietary recommendations as well as improving understanding of physiological mechanisms. The third aim acknowledges the substantial gap between recommended and actual fibre intakes in many developed countries including the USA and the UK. In recognition of this deficit in total fibre intake, food manufacturing processes increasingly utilise fibre extracts and concentrates as food additives. However, whether fibre extracts provide similar health benefits to the fibre supplied in the constituents of whole grain is largely unexplored. The relative benefits of fibre extracts compared with whole-grain fibre sources therefore represent a critical area in which additional research is needed.

N2  - Substantial evidence clearly demonstrates the deleterious effects of industrially-produced trans fatty acids (TFA); however, data are lacking from large, well controlled human feeding studies that directly compare the effects of industrially-produced and naturally-occurring TFA. The purpose of the current study is to determine whether consumption of TFA derived from different sources differentially affect risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study was a randomized, crossover design, controlled-feeding intervention designed to compare the effects of the following diet treatments on risk factors of CVD: low TFA diet (base diet, 34% energy from fat; 0.1% energy from TFA), base diet with vaccenic acid (3.0% energy), base diet with mixed isomers of TFA from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (3.0% energy), and base diet with cis-9, trans-11 CLA (1.0% energy). The added energy from TFA replaced energy from stearic acid. Participants were required to be between the ages of 25 and 65 years, have a body mass index between 20 and 38 kg/m2, total cholesterol &lt;280 mg/dl, fasting triacylglycerol &lt;300 mg/dl, fasting glucose &lt;126 mg/dl, and blood pressure &lt;160/100 mm Hg (controlled with certain medications). Of the 116 participants who were randomized, a total of 95 completed the intervention. Results from this study will be important in determining whether ruminant TFA and industrially produced TFA differentially affect markers of cardiovascular risk, in the context of a highly controlled feeding study.

N2  - Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) continues to pose a food safety hazard in ready-to-eat (RTE) meats due to potential cross-contamination. Chlorine is commonly used to sanitize processing equipment and utensils. However, Lm may survive the treatment and then contaminate food products. The objective of this study was to characterize the behavior of chlorine-exposed Lm on RTE ham during refrigerated storage. A two strain cocktail of Lm serotype 4b was pre-treated with chlorine (0, 25, and 50 ppm) for one hour, and then inoculated onto the surface of RTE ham to obtain an inoculum of about 3.0 log CFU/g. The inoculated ham samples were stored at 4, 8, and 16°C, and Lm was enumerated periodically during the storage. The growth characteristics (lag time and growth rate) of Lm were estimated using the DMFit software. The results indicated that Lm growth was suppressed by the chlorine treatment. At 4°C, the lag time of Lm with no (0 ppm) chlorine exposure (4.2 days) was shorter than those exposed to 25 ppm (5.4 days) and 50 ppm (6.8 days). The lag time decreased with the increase of temperature, e.g., at 25 ppm, the lag times were 5.2, 3.8 and 2.6 days for 4, 8 and 16°C, respectively, and increased with the increase of chlorine concentration, e.g., at 16°C, the lag times were 1.2, 2.6 and 4.0 days for 0, 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. However, growth rate increased with the increase of temperature and decreased with the increase of chlorine concentration. The lag time and growth rate as a function of chlorine concentration and temperature can be described using a modified Ratkowsky model and a modified Zwietering model, respectively. The results showed that the growth of Lm on RTE ham was delayed by pre-exposure to chlorine (at ≤50 ppm). The predictive models developed will contribute to microbial risk assessments of RTE meats.

N2  - Objective - To estimate the costs of satisfying MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines, with a focus on whether low-income households can bear these costs. Design - Descriptive analysis of the 2008 National Consumer Panel with information on the food purchases of 64,440 households across the contiguous United States was used to analyze the cost of fruits and vegetables. Costs per MyPyramid cup-equivalents were calculated by accounting for cooking yields and the portion of a food item's retail weight that is inedible. Variables Measured - Costs per cup-equivalent for less expensive fruits and vegetables by MyPyramid subgroup including whole and cut fruit, fruit juice, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, starchy vegetables, other vegetables, and legumes. Results - In 2008, a variety of fruits and vegetables was available for an average cost of $0.40 to $0.50 per cup-equivalent. MyPyramid fruit and vegetable recommendations could be satisfied at this cost level. Conclusions and Implications - Low-income Americans facing national average food prices can satisfy MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines with a budget equal to the Thrifty Food Plan allocation to fruits and vegetables. However, many low-income households spend too much money on food that is low in fruit and vegetable content. Some money should be reallocated to fruits and vegetables.

N2  - The objective of this study was to determine whether 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) gene variants associated with cardiovascular disease affect eicosanoid production by monocytes. The study was a randomized, double-masked, parallel intervention trial with fish oil (5.0 g of fish oil daily, containing 2.0 g of eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and 1.0 g of docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) or placebo oil (5.0 g of corn/soy mixture). A total of 116 subjects (68% female, 20-59 years old) of African American ancestry enrolled, and 98 subjects completed the study. Neither ALOX5 protein nor arachidonic acid-derived LTB4, LTD4, and LTE4 varied by genotype, but 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate (5-HETE), 6-trans-LTB4, 5-oxo-ETE, 15-HETE, and 5,15-diHETE levels were higher in subjects homozygous for the ALOX5 promoter allele containing five Sp1 element tandem repeats ("55" genotype) than in subjects with one deletion (d) (three or four repeats) and one common ("d5" genotype) allele or with two deletion ("dd") alleles. The EPA-derived metabolites 5-HEPE and 15-HEPE and the DHA-derived metabolite 17-HDoHE had similar associations with genotype and increased with supplementation; 5-HEPE and 15-HEPE increased, and 5-oxo-ETE decreased to a greater degree in the 55 than in the other genotypes. This differential eicosanoid response is consistent with the previously observed interaction of these variants with dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids in predicting cardiovascular disease risk.

N2  - Considerable epidemiologic evidence links consuming lower glycemic index (GI) diets with good health, particularly upon aging. The GI is a kinetic parameter that reflects the ability of carbohydrate (CHO) contained in consumed foods to raise blood glucose in vivo. Newer nutritional, clinical, and experimental data link intake of lower dietary GI foods to favorable outcomes of chronic diseases, and compel further examination of the record. Based upon the new information there are two specific questions: (1) should the GI concept be promoted as a way to prolong health, and (2) should food labels contain GI information? Further, what are the remaining concerns about methodological issues and consistency of epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets? These issues are addressed in this review.

N2  - Aims: The objective of this study was to test a series of gossypol-related compounds for growth inhibition against Aspergillus flavus. Methods and Results: A series of chiral and achiral gossypol derivatives, some natural products of the cotton plant and others prepared by synthesis from gossypol, were incorporated into agar plates to follow the rate of A. flavus isolate AF13 colony growth. All tested compounds exhibited some growth inhibition against this organism. The synthetic compounds, gossypolone and apogossypolone, exhibited greater activity than either racemic or chiral gossypol. Methylated derivatives (i.e. 6-methoxy and 6,6′-dimethoxy derivatives) generally exhibited less activity than the nonmethylated parent compounds. The (-)-optical form of gossypol was found to be slightly more active than the (+)-optical form, and this trend was observed regardless of the presence of methoxy groups at the 6-position. Growth inhibition of gossypolone and apogossypolone was concentration dependent. For gossypolone, the 50% effective dose was 90 µg ml-1 of medium (165 µmol l-1). For apogossypolone, the most active compound in the study, the 50% effective dose was 19 µg ml-1 (38.7 µmol l-1). The presence of gossypol-related terpenoids appeared to stimulate production of A. flavus sclerotia, although replicate variability was so large that it was not possible to determine a significant correlation between the mass of sclerotia formed and compound growth inhibition. Conclusions: The quinone derivatives of gossypol, gossypolone and apogossypolone demonstrated significant fungal growth inhibitory activity against A. flavus. Significance and Impact of the Study: These gossypol derivatives may provide a new class of fungicide for use against the mycotoxigenic fungus A. flavus.

N2  - Background: Galactose consumption as the only carbohydrate source results in little increase in plasma glucose and insulin concentrations when compared with fasting. Lower insulin might promote endogenous lipolysis during meal absorption, which may facilitate fat loss. Objective: The objective was to test the hypothesis that consumption of an isocaloric, isonitrogenous galactose drink will result in higher rates of lipolysis and fat oxidation than consumption of a glucose drink in obese lactating and nonlactating women. Design: Seven healthy, obese, exclusively breastfeeding women and 7 healthy, obese, nonlactating women were studied on 2 occasions according to a randomized, crossover, single-blinded design. Subjects received drinks providing ~70% of the daily estimated energy requirement, of which 60% was either glucose or galactose. The primary outcomes were the rate of appearance (Ra) of glycerol and palmitate, and the secondary outcomes were glucose Ra, milk production, energy expenditure, and substrate oxidation. Results: Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were lower (P&lt;0.05) and those of glycerol, palmitate, free fatty acids, and triglycerides were higher (P&lt;0.05) during galactose than during glucose feeding in both nonlactating and lactating women. During galactose feeding, glucose Ra was lower (P&lt;0.01) and glycerol, palmitate, and free fatty acid Ra were higher (P&lt;0.01) in both groups. During galactose feeding in all women combined, fat oxidation was higher (P=0.01) and protein oxidation was lower (P&lt;0.01). Milk production, energy expenditure, and carbohydrate oxidation were similar between glucose and galactose feeding. Conclusions: Galactose consumption is associated with higher endogenous fat mobilization and oxidation during meal absorption. Long-term studies are required to determine whether galactose as an exclusive carbohydrate source would promote body fat loss in obese subjects.

N2  - Background: There have been conflicting reported associations between dietary factors and incident atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective: We evaluated associations between consumption of alcohol, caffeine, fiber, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and incident AF in the Framingham Heart Study. Design: Participants without AF (n=4526; 9640 examinations; mean age: 62 y; 56% women) from the original and offspring cohorts completed food-frequency questionnaires and were followed prospectively for 4 y. We examined the associations between dietary exposures and AF with Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: A total of 296 individuals developed AF (177 men, 119 women). In multivariable analyses, there were no significant associations between examined dietary exposures and AF risk. Hazard ratios (HRs) for increasing quartiles of dietary factors were as follows: for alcohol, 0.73 (95% CI: 0.5, 1.05), 0.85 (95% CI: 0.61, 1.18), and 1.12 (95% CI: 0.83, 1.51) (P for trend=0.48); for caffeine, 0.84 (95% CI: 0.62, 1.15), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.64, 1.2), and 0.98 (95% CI: 0.7, 1.39) (P for trend=0.84); for total fiber, 0.86 (95% CI: 0.61, 1.2), 0.64 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.92), and 0.81 (95% CI: 0.54, 1.2) (P for trend=0.16); and for n-3 (omega-3) PUFAs, 1.11 (95% CI: 0.81, 1.54), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.65, 1.29), and 1.18 (95% CI: 0.85, 1.64) (P for trend=0.57; quartile 1 was the reference group). In exploratory analyses, consumption of &gt;4 servings of dark fish/wk (5 cases and 21 individuals at risk) was significantly associated with AF risk compared with the consumption of &lt;1 serving of dark fish/wk (HR: 6.53; 95% CI: 2.65, 16.06; P&lt;0.0001). Conclusions: Consumption of alcohol, caffeine, fiber, and fish-derived PUFAs was not significantly associated with AF risk. The observed adverse association between the consumption of dark fish and AF merits further investigation. Our findings suggest that the dietary exposures examined convey limited attributable risk of AF in the general population.

N2  - Biological control of toxigenic Aspergillus flavus in maize through competitive displacement by non-aflatoxigenic strains was evaluated in a series of field studies. Four sets of experiments were conducted between 2007 and 2009 to assess the competitiveness of non-aflatoxigenic strains when challenged against toxigenic strains using a pin-bar inoculation technique. In three sets of experiments the non-aflatoxigenic strain K49 effectively displaced toxigenic strains at various concentrations or combinations. The fourth study compared the relative competitiveness of three non-aflatoxigenic strains (K49, NRRL 21882 from Afla-Guard®, and AF36) when challenged on maize against two aflatoxin- and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-producing strains (K54 and F3W4). These studies indicate that K49 and NRRL 21882 are superior to AF36 in reducing total aflatoxin contamination. Neither K49 nor NRRL 21882 produce CPA and when challenged with K54 and F3W4, CPA and aflatoxins were reduced by 84-97% and 83-98%, respectively. In contrast, AF36 reduced aflatoxins by 20% with F3W4 and 93% with K54 and showed no reduction in CPA with F3W4 and only a 62% reduction in CPA with K54. Because AF36 produces CPA, high levels of CPA accumulate when maize is inoculated with AF36 alone or in combination with F3W4 or K54. These results indicate that K49 may be equally effective as NRRL 21882 in reducing both aflatoxins and CPA in maize.

N2  - Oxytetracycline (OTC) is used worldwide to protect crops against bacterial diseases. The US Environmental Protection Agency approved its use in apple, pear, nectarine, and peach, and set residue tolerance at 350 ng g-1. A europium-sensitised luminescence (ESL) method was developed for in-situ determination of OTC residue in these fruits. After extraction in Na2EDTA-NaCl-McIlvaine buffer at pH 4 and filtration, cleanup was performed using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges. ESL was measured using a portable time-resolved fluorometer. The signal responded linearly over three orders of magnitude (10-10000 ng g-1) with 17-50 ng g-1 limits of quantitation and 2% averaged relative standard deviation. Recoveries were 84% and 82% at 100 and 350 ng g-1, respectively. Inter-laboratory validation was performed by HPLC-MS/MS.

N2  - Due to outbreaks of salmonellosis associated with whole raw almonds, an infrared (IR) pasteurization process was investigated for its efficacy in improving the safety of raw almonds. After almonds were heated to 100, 110 and 120°C with IR, they were cooled at ambient temperature to a holding temperature of 70, 80 or 90°C before being transferred to a custom-designed holding device for different time periods up to 60 min. We observed that holding almonds at 90°C for 10-15 min reduced the Pediococcus population size by more than 5-log and holding at 80°C for longer than 22 min provided more than 4-log reduction, thus satisfying the targeted 4-log reduction required in the almond industry. The L*a*b* color values of whole almonds were not affected significantly (P&gt;0.05) by the IR process whereas the a* and b* color values of ground almonds changed significantly (P&lt;0.05). The sensory panel did not detect any significant difference (P&gt;0.01) in appearance, texture, flavor and overall quality of pasteurized almonds compared with untreated samples.

N2  - Aims: To develop an antimicrobial bottle coating effective at inhibiting the growth of Salmonella in liquid egg albumen (egg white) and reduce the risk of human Salmonellosis. Methods and Results: Four-ounce glass jars were coated with a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) polymer and antimicrobial compounds containing 100-500 µl allyl isothiocyanate (AIT), 250 mg nisin, 250 mg zinc oxide nanoparticles per jar or their combinations. The coated jars contained 100 ml of liquid egg white (LEW) inoculated with a three-strain Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica cocktail at populations of 103 or 107 CFU ml-1 and stored at 10°C for 28 days. The PLA coating with 500 µl AIT completely inactivated 3 and 7 log CFU ml-1 of Salmonella after 7 and 21 days of storage, respectively. The PLA coating with 200 µl AIT in combination with 250 mg nisin reduced Salmonella populations to an undetectable level (&lt;10 CFU ml-1) after 21 days of storage. Conclusions: PLA coatings containing AIT alone or in combination with nisin effectively inactivated salmonellae in LEW. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study demonstrated the commercial potential of applying the antimicrobial bottle coating method to liquid eggs and possibly other fluid food products.

N2  - Tea (Camellia sinensis L.), an important drink and a natural medicine for thousands of years, contains many health beneficial compounds. Growing season, geographical region, and fermentation methods create many variations in tea compositions, which contribute to each tea's uniqueness. In this study, a simple, rapid, and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method combined with diode array detector (DAD) and mass spectroscopic (MS) detection and chemometrics analysis was used to analyse three different types of teas (green pu-erh, green tea, white tea). Using the developed method, 68 compounds were identified and 54 were quantified based on retention times, UV spectra, and MS spectra by referencing to available standards and data in the literatures. The results showed the chemical differences between the tested teas. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify and distinguish between tea samples.

N2  - American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is one of the most commonly used herbal medicines in the world. Discriminating between P. quinquefolius grown in different countries is difficult using traditional quantitation methods. In this study, a liquid chromatographic mass spectrometry fingerprint combined with chemometric analysis was established to discriminate between American ginseng grown in the USA and China. Fifteen American ginseng samples grown in Wisconsin and 25 samples grown in China were used. The chromatographic fingerprints, representing the chemical compositions of the samples, made it possible to distinguish samples from the two locations. In addition, it was found that some ginsenosides varied widely from P. quinquefolius cultivated in these two countries. P. quinquefolius grown in the USA is higher in ginsenoside Rc, ginsenoside Rd, quinquenoside III/pseudo-ginsenoside RC1, malonyl ginsenoside Rb1, and ginsenoside Rb2, but lower in ginsenoside Rb1 compared with P. quinquefolius grown in China. These ginsenosides may be responsible for the class separation seen using fingerprinting and chemometric approaches.

N2  - The health benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables and year-round availability of many produce commodities has led to increased consumption in the United States and other western countries. This has, however, been correlated with a rise in the number of foodborne outbreaks. Although there are logical sources of pathogens, definitive explanations of how contamination occurs have been lacking. Biotic or abiotic processes linking primary pathogen reservoirs to fields are dynamic and difficult to identify. Tracking reservoirs and movement of pathogens in the environment require intensive sampling and accurate fingerprinting/genotyping. Fresh produce outbreaks associated with enteric pathogens, their sources and fitness in the environment will be presented along with methods for tracking pathogens and outcomes from recent investigations. Next generation DNA sequencing and genomics methods being developed will enhance microbial source tracking studies in complex produce production environments.

N2  - Dairy farming has become a highly productive system producing ample amounts of high-quality milk and meat from fewer cows on less land on fewer, but larger, farms. Despite this consolidation and modernization, zoonotic pathogenic bacteria and protozoans remain problems on the modern dairy farm. Although pasteurization has greatly reduced illness due to contaminated dairy products, post-processing contamination and an apparent increase in the consumption of raw milk, raw milk products and meat from dairy cows continue to result in outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness. Methods used for pathogen detection, identification, subtyping and characterization methods have shown the relationships between pathogens from cow feces and the surrounding environment and those contaminating milk and meat; however, control of these pathogens on the farm remains difficult.

N2  - Aims: Escherichia coli have been targeted for studying antimicrobial resistance in companion animals because of opportunistic infections and as a surrogate for resistance patterns in zoonotic organisms. The aim of our study is to examine antimicrobial resistance in E. coli isolated from various anatomical sites on healthy dogs and cats and identify genetic relatedness. Methods and Results: From May to August, 2007, healthy companion animals (155 dogs and 121 cats) from three veterinary clinics in the Athens, GA, USA, were sampled. Escherichia coli was isolated from swabs of nasal, oral, rectal, abdomen and hindquarter areas. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing against 16 antimicrobials was performed using broth microdilution with the SensititreTM system. Clonal types were determined by a standardized pulsed-field gel electrophoresis protocol. Although rectal swabs yielded the most E. coli (165/317; 52%) from dogs and cats, the organism was distributed evenly among the other body sites sampled. Escherichia coli isolates from both dogs and cats exhibited resistance to all antimicrobials tested with the exception of amikacin, cephalothin and kanamycin. Resistance to ampicillin was the most prevalent resistance phenotype detected (dogs, 33/199; 17%; and cats, 27/118; 23%). Among the resistant isolates, 21 resistance patterns were observed, where 18 patterns represented multidrug resistance (MDR; resistance ≥2 antimicrobial classes). Also among the resistant isolates, 33 unique clonal types were detected, where each clonal type contained isolates from various sampling sites. Similar resistance phenotypes were exhibited among clonal types, and three clonal types were from both dogs and cats. Conclusions: Healthy companion animals can harbour antimicrobial-resistant E. coli on body sites that routinely come in contact with human handlers. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study is the first report that demonstrates a diverse antimicrobial-resistant E. coli population distributed over various sites of a companion animal's body, thereby suggesting potential transfer of resistant microflora to human hosts during contact.

AB  - The ecological consequences of climate change are predicted to vary greatly throughout US rangelands. Projections show warming and drying in the southern Great Plains and the Southwest, warmer and drier summers with reduced winter snowpack in the Northwest, and warmer and wetter conditions in the northern Great Plains. Primarily through their combined effects on soil water availability, these climatic changes will modify plant production and community composition, which will, in turn, affect the livelihoods of humans who rely upon livestock grazing. The ability of rangeland managers to assess risk and prepare for climate change varies greatly and reflects their different adaptive capacities. Geographically specific exposure to climate change and a diverse adaptive capacity to counteract these changes will require development of varied adaptation strategies that can accommodate the various needs and abilities of livestock managers.

AB  - Payments for watershed services (PWS) as a policy tool for enhancing water quality and supply have gained momentum in recent years, but their ability to lead to sustainable watershed outcomes is uncertain. Consequently, the demand for effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of PWS impacts on coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and their implications for watershed sustainability (WS) is increasing. The theoretical foundations and practical applications of WS frameworks, which integrate biophysical and socioeconomic indicators to assess progress toward WS goals, have been extensively explored but rarely applied to PWS. We develop the PWS-WS framework as an approach for guiding indicator selection to improve knowledge about the complex drivers, interactions, and feedback between PWS and CHANS. A review of the PWS and WS literatures provides a basis for comparing and contrasting indicators. Using two case studies, we illustrate how applying the PWS-WS framework using a place-based, contextualized approach enhances potential for sustainable watershed outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sustainable intensification is a widely shared idealistic vision for agriculture, in which production and other ecosystem services jointly increase to meet the future needs of humanity and the biosphere. Realizing this vision will require an outcome-driven approach that draws on all available practices and technologies to design agroecosystems that negotiate the difficult trade-offs associated with reconciling sustainability along production, economic, and environmental performance dimensions. To create such "middle-way" strategies for sustainable intensification, we call for strongly transdisciplinary research systems that coordinate integrative research among major streams of agriculture via ethical and philosophical orientation provided by "purposive disciplines, " such as applied ethics and design. Middle-way research partnerships can be strengthened by linking outcomes to mutually agreeable goals, such as "net agroecosystem aggradation. " We illustrate our proposals by outlining a potential middle-way strategy for weed management, describing its ethical rationale, and suggesting a research policy agenda for sustainable intensification via middle-way agriculture.

AB  - Objective To determine whether fourth-grade students participating in the Shaping Healthy Choices Program (SHCP), a school-based nutrition intervention, would change vegetable and carotenoid intake measured by skin carotenoids and dietary intake. Methods Single-group pretest–posttest with a self-selected, convenience sample of students (n = 30) participating in the SHCP, which lasted 1 academic year (9 months). Dietary intake of vegetables and carotenoids as measured by Block food frequency questionnaire and skin carotenoids as measured by Raman spectroscopy were collected at the school preintervention and postintervention. Results Reported carotenoid intake decreased by 1.5 mg ( P = .05) and skin carotenoids decreased by 2,247.9 RRS intensity units ( P = .04). Change in reported intake correlated with change in skin carotenoids ( r = .43; P = .02). Conclusions and Implications The reported decrease in vegetable and carotenoid intake was unanticipated; nevertheless, the RRS measurements confirmed this. RRS data can help evaluate changes in fruit and vegetable intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - It is widely reported that productivity growth is the main contributor to output growth in U.S. agriculture. This article provides estimates of output growth over the postwar period and decomposes that growth into the contributions of input growth and productivity growth. The analysis is based on recently revised production accounts for agriculture. Our findings are fully consistent with those reported in the literature. Productivity growth dominates input growth as a source of output growth in the sector.

N2  - Focusing on the U.S. sulfur dioxide (SO2) allowance market from its inception in 1994 to 2009, we model allowance prices to determine the influence of market fundamentals on allowance price level and volatility. We find evidence that the SO2 market operates in ways that are not inconsistent with an efficient market--prices that reflect marginal abatement costs--after the first few years of the program but before a court decision that introduced significant uncertainty into the market in mid-2008. Our empirical analysis finds that the SO2 market, similar to other emission markets studied in the literature, can remain relatively inefficient for several years after launch. We also find that market volatility increases in response to all types of communications from the administrator, suggesting that the development of a formal communication strategy, possibly similar to that used by central banks, would reduce price volatility and increase the efficiency of the market.

N2  - Vector error correction models (VECM) are used to model price transmission when farm and retail prices are cointegrated. To allow for nonlinearity in the cointegration process, researchers may specify thresholds to break the error correction process into regimes according to whether the retail price is above, below, or close to its equilibrium value given farm prices. However, because the coefficients in a VECM can change when there is movement from one regime to another, the model can be discontinuous. This implies sudden, "hard" regime changes. In this study, we extend the threshold VECM to include features of smooth transition autoregression (STAR) models. Our approach allows for gradual, soft regime changes. An empirical application to retail cheese and farm milk prices is presented.

N2  - This study investigates the factors likely to affect an individual's decision to enter farming after and/or while participating in an off-farm employment activity. Additionally, an ordered multivariate regression procedure was used to analyze the degree of importance of selected motivating reasons that were drivers of individuals' decision to enter farming. Results indicate that individuals with lower education, children in the household, and older family members were more likely to have entered farming as an occupation. Findings further suggest that federal policies in the form of farm program payments may provide retired nonfarm workers incentives to enter farming in later life.

N2  - Voluntary approaches have traditionally been used to address environmental externalities emanating from agricultural production in the United States. However, voluntary approaches have largely failed to improve water quality in impaired waters. This paper assesses how to increase the efficiency of voluntary conservation in the context of the Chesapeake Bay. Field-level data representative of cropland in the bay watershed are analyzed using a programming model to quantify the gains of targeting technology-based incentives and of performance-based incentives. Performance-based approaches were the most efficient. The efficiency of technology-based approaches was improved by targeting cropland with features indicative of low marginal abatement costs.

N2  - Purpose--The purpose of this paper is to analyze the repayment records of Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers in two distinct US farming regions that have been experienced serious drought conditions even as the US economy was going through a recession. The analysis will identify factors that significantly influence both the probability of FSA borrowers' survival (capability to remain in good credit standing) and temporal endurance (or length of period of good standing with creditor). Design/methodology/approach--This analysis utilizes a data set of farm borrowers of the Farm Service Agency that regular farm lenders have classified as "marginal" relative to other borrowers. The research goal is addressed by confining this study's regional focus to the Southeast and Midwest that have both dealt with financial stress arising from abnormal natural and economic conditions prevailing during the same time period. A split population duration model is employed to separately identify determinants of the probability and duration of survival (condition of good credit standing). Findings--This study's results indicate that larger loan balances, declining commodity prices, and the severity of drought conditions have adversely affected both the borrowing farms' probability of survival and temporal endurance in terms of maintaining non-delinquent borrower standing. Notably, Midwestern farms have been relatively less affected by drought conditions compared to Southeastern farms. This study's results validate the contention that the farms' capability to survive and the duration of their survival can be attributed to differences in regional resource endowments, farming activities, and business structures.

N2  - Purpose--The purpose of this paper is to identify determinants of feasible outcome events (expired with no loss, settled for loss, still performing) and time to event of Farm Service Agency (FSA) operating and farm ownership (FO) loan guarantees. Design/methodology/approach--Data on 19,126 FSA guaranteed loans, which were made by various lenders to farmers who have limited ability to obtain loans from normal sources without the Federal guarantee, were collected. Cox proportional hazards models for operating loans (OLs) and FO loans are estimated to identify borrower characteristics, loan characteristics, lender types, and farm and macroeconomic environment factors that influence guarantee outcomes. Findings--Loans with different characteristics (loan amount, loan term, lender type, region originated) and assistance programs (Beginning Farmer, Interest Assistance) have differing guarantee outcomes. Contemporaneous variables, in particular delinquency status, have a significant impact on guarantee outcomes.

N2  - Precision agricultural (PA) technologies can decrease input costs by providing farmers with more detailed information and application control, but adoption has been sluggish, especially for variable-rate technologies (VRT). Is it possible that farmers have difficulty realizing these cost savings? Combinations of PA technologies are considered as complements, testing several patterns of PA technology adoption that may show different levels of costs. The USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey of corn producers is used to estimate a treatment-effects model that allows for selection bias. VRT contributes additional production cost savings when added to soil mapping, but not when done with yield mapping alone.

AB  - Background: Little effort has focused on the role of volunteer-led out-of-school time (OST) programs (ie, enrichment and sports programs) as key environments for the promotion of healthy eating and physical activity habits among school-aged children. The Healthy Kids Out of School (HKOS) initiative developed evidence-based, practical guiding principles for healthy snacks, beverages, and physical activity. The goal of this case study was to describe the methods used to engage regional partners to understand how successful implementation and dissemination of these principles could be accomplished.Community Context: HKOS partnered with volunteer-led programs from 5 OST organizations in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire to create a regional "learning laboratory."Methods: We engaged partners in phases. In the first phase, we conducted focus groups with local volunteer program leaders; during the second phase, we held roundtable meetings with regional and state program administrators; and in the final phase, we conducted additional outreach to refine and finalize implementation strategies.Outcomes: Implementation strategies were developed based on themes and information that emerged. For enrichment programs, strategies included new patch and pin programs that were consistent with the organizations' infrastructure and usual practices. For sports programs, the main strategy was integration with online trainings for coaches.Interpretation: Through the engagement process, we learned that dissemination of the guiding principles in these large and complex OST organizations was best accomplished by using implementation strategies that were customized, integrated, and aligned with goals and usual practices. The lessons learned can benefit future efforts to prevent obesity in complex environments.

AB  - Aim: Shiga toxins are delivered via systemic circulation and are considered to be the cause of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), as they injure endothelial cells, particularly in the glomeruli. This study measured Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in the serum of children affected in by HUS due to Stx2 producing Escherichia coli.Methods: The concentration of free Stx2 was measured in the serum of 16 children, collected immediately after admission to the clinic in the acute phase of HUS, using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The family members of two children were also investigated, with the relative toxicity of Stx2 assessed by a Vero cell-based fluorescent assay.Results: Stx2 was found in the serum of eight of the 16 children who were investigated. It was also detected in four of the six family members not showing symptomatic HUS, with an extremely high level in two.Conclusion: An absent or rather low concentration of Stx2 was found in the serum of children admitted to the clinic with diarrhoea-associated HUS. The high concentration of Stx2 in family members without HUS, but mostly with watery diarrhoea and raised functional activity, was in line with the concept of early injury by Stx2.

AB  - Background: Patterns of poor nutritional intake may exacerbate the elevated morbidity experienced by cancer survivors. It remains unclear whether cancer survivors adhere to existing dietary guidelines and whether survivors' diets differ from those of individuals without cancer over the long term.Methods: The authors evaluated dietary intake and quality in 1533 adult cancer survivors who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2010 compared with dietary intake and quality in 3075 individuals who had no history of cancer and were matched to the cancer survivors by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Dietary intake was assessed using 24-hour dietary recalls. The 2010 Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) was used to evaluate diet quality.Results: The mean ± standard deviation HEI-2010 total score was 47.2 ± 0.5 in the cancer survivors and 48.3 ± 0.4 in the noncancer group (P = .03). Compared with the noncancer group, cancer survivors had a significantly lower score for empty calories (13.6 vs 14.4; P = .001), which corresponded to worse adherence to dietary intake of calories from solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars. Cancer survivors also had significantly lower dietary intake of fiber than the noncancer group (15.0 vs 15.9 g per day; P = .02). In relation to recommended intake, survivors' mean dietary intake of vitamin D, vitamin E, potassium, fiber, and calcium was 31%, 47%, 55%, 60%, and 73%, respectively; whereas their mean dietary intake of saturated fat and sodium was 112% and 133%, respectively, of the recommended intake.Conclusions: Cancer survivors had poor adherence to the US Department of Agriculture 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and their intake patterns were worse than those in the general population for empty calories and fiber.

AB  - Objective: To explore the effect of seasonality on fruit and vegetable availability and prices across three outlet types (farmers' markets, roadside stands and conventional supermarkets).Design: Cross-sectional survey of geographically clustered supermarkets, farmers' markets and roadside stands. Enumerators recorded the availability and lowest price for eleven fruits and eighteen vegetables in each season of 2011.Setting: Price data were collected at retail outlets located in central and eastern North Carolina.Subjects: The sample consisted of thirty-three supermarkets, thirty-four farmers' markets and twenty-three roadside stands.Results: Outside the local harvest season, the availability of many fruits and vegetables was substantially lower at farmers' markets and roadside stands compared with supermarkets. Given sufficient availability, some items were significantly cheaper (P<0·05) at direct retail outlets in the peak season (e.g. cantaloupe cost 36·0 % less at roadside stands than supermarkets), while others were significantly more expensive (e.g. carrots cost 137·9 % more at farmers' markets than supermarkets). Although small samples limited statistical power in many non-peak comparisons, these results also showed some differences by item: two-thirds of fruits were cheaper at one or both direct outlets in the spring and autumn, whereas five of eighteen vegetables cost more at direct retail year-round.Conclusions: Commonly consumed fruits and vegetables were more widely available at supermarkets in central and eastern North Carolina than at direct retail outlets, in each season. Contingent on item availability, price competitiveness of the direct retail outlets varied by fruit and vegetable. For many items, the outlets compete on price in more than one season.

AB  - Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of WGS in identifying resistance genotypes of MDR Escherichia coli and whether these correlate with observed phenotypes.Methods: Seventy-six E. coli strains were isolated from farm cattle and measured for phenotypic resistance to 15 antimicrobials with the Sensititre(®) system. Isolates with resistance to at least four antimicrobials in three classes were selected for WGS using an Illumina MiSeq. Genotypic analysis was conducted with in-house Perl scripts using BLAST analysis to identify known genes and mutations associated with clinical resistance.Results: Over 30 resistance genes and a number of resistance mutations were identified among the E. coli isolates. Resistance genotypes correlated with 97.8% specificity and 99.6% sensitivity to the identified phenotypes. The majority of discordant results were attributable to the aminoglycoside streptomycin, whereas there was a perfect genotype-phenotype correlation for most antibiotic classes such as tetracyclines, quinolones and phenicols. WGS also revealed information about rare resistance mechanisms, such as structural mutations in chromosomal copies of ampC conferring third-generation cephalosporin resistance.Conclusions: WGS can provide comprehensive resistance genotypes and is capable of accurately predicting resistance phenotypes, making it a valuable tool for surveillance. Moreover, the data presented here showing the ability to accurately predict resistance suggest that WGS may be used as a screening tool in selecting anti-infective therapy, especially as costs drop and methods improve.

AB  - As part of a larger survey for detection of pathogens among wildlife in sub-Saharan Africa conducted during 2007-2012, multiple diverse paramyxovirus sequences were detected in renal tissues of bats. Phylogenetic analysis supports the presence of at least 2 major viral lineages and suggests that paramyxoviruses are strongly associated with several bat genera.

AB  - Over the past several decades, the private sector has assumed a larger role in developing improved technology for food and agriculture. Private companies fund nearly all food processing research and development (R&D) and perform a growing share of production-oriented R&D for agriculture. In addition, institutional partnerships for public–private research collaboration are growing in the United States and other countries. This article outlines the major forces driving these changes and offers an interpretive framework to explore some of the implications for the volume and nature of research performed by the public and private sectors. One of the critical issues is whether public agricultural research complements and thereby stimulates additional private agricultural R&D investments. Another important issue concerns the role and contribution of alternative public–private partnership arrangements. To date, changes in the institutional structure of public and private agricultural research have outpaced systematic investigation, and new theoretical and empirical research is needed to help guide policy and address key societal challenges, such as climate change, clean energy, water scarcity, food safety, and health.

AB  - Objective: Similar to parks, college campuses may promote physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of adults at urban campuses and parks.Participants: Participants were individuals observed on campuses and parks in April 2011.Methods: The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities was used to assess physical activity at 3 campuses and parks, 3 times/day, for 4 days.Results: Greater proportions of individuals (parks, campuses) were observed in vigorous (28.7%, 11.9%) and sedentary (25%, 18.3%) activities at parks than campuses and a greater proportion observed in walking (69.8%, 46.3%) intensity on campuses than parks. More men than women were observed at both parks and campuses, and paths and sport courts were most frequently used for physical activity.Conclusions: Physical activity intensities differ across college campuses and parks that provided similar physical activity amenities. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness of outdoor campus amenities that promote physical activity and understanding the outdoor amenities that of promote physical activity of women.

AB  - Background:Meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) is an important cold climate pasture grass that faces pressures from climate and land use change, competitive pressure and limited genetic diversity at the species level. Naturalised populations in the Driftless Area of the American Midwest may be beneficial for the conservation and agronomic improvement of the species. Aims:We explored the population structure and genetic diversity of Driftless Area meadow fescue populations, inferring their introduction histories to evaluate their potential contribution to conservation and breeding. Methods:We assigned plants sampled from 71 grasslands throughout the Driftless Area to genetically defined subpopulations based on neutral nuclear (nSSR) markers. Inter-population hybridisation and genetic diversity were combined with chloroplast haplotype scoring to infer introduction history. Results:We identified four subpopulations with distinct geographic distributions and haplotype composition, with 28% of sampled individuals representing admixtures of two or more subpopulations. There was moderate differentiation among subpopulations and sampling sites, with nonetheless high within-site diversity. Three chloroplast haplotypes were detected, occurring in different frequencies among subpopulations. Subpopulations appeared to have been derived from separate introductions of heterogeneous genetic material. Conclusions:Driftless Area meadow fescue populations are unlikely to contribute to conservation of locally adapted European varieties, but represent a valuable resource for the development of novel varieties and for preserving species-level genetic diversity.

AB  - The novel poxvirus described here can infect humans and may be associated with equine contact. It causes an infection that appears to mimic the symptoms and clinical course typical of nondisseminated, lesion-associated poxvirus infections such as those caused by parapoxviruses.Background. Some human poxvirus infections can be acquired through zoonotic transmission. We report a previously unknown poxvirus infection in 2 patients, 1 of whom was immunocompromised; both patients had known equine contact.Methods. The patients were interviewed and clinical information was abstracted from the patients’ medical files. Biopsies of the skin lesions were collected from both patients for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Oral and skin swabs were collected from animals with frequent contact with the patients, and environmental sampling including rodent trapping was performed on the farm where the immunosuppressed patient was employed. “Pan-pox and high Guanine-cytosine” polymerase chain reaction assays were performed on patient, animal, and environmental isolates. Amplicon sequences of the viral DNA were used for agent identification and phylogenetic analysis.Results. Specimens from both human cases revealed a novel poxvirus. The agent shares 88% similarity to viruses in the Parapoxvirus genus and 78% to those in the Molluscipoxvirus genus but is sufficiently divergent to resist classification as either. All animal and environmental specimens were negative for poxvirus and both patients had complete resolution of lesions.Conclusions. This report serves as a reminder that poxviruses should be considered in cutaneous human infections, especially in individuals with known barnyard exposures. The clinical course of the patients was similar to that of parapoxvirus infections, and the source of this virus is currently unknown but is presumed to be zoonotic. This report also demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosis of human infections caused by previously unknown pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Carotenoids are mostly C 40 terpenoids, a class of hydrocarbons that participate in various biological processes in plants, such as photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, photoprotection, and development. Carotenoids also serve as precursors for two plant hormones and a diverse set of apocarotenoids. They are colorants and critical components of the human diet as antioxidants and provitamin A. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the genes and enzymes involved in carotenoid metabolism and describe recent progress in understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying carotenoid accumulation. The importance of the specific location of carotenoid enzyme metabolons and plastid types as well as of carotenoid-derived signals is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As species' geographic ranges and ecosystem functions are altered in response to climate change, there is a need to integrate biodiversity conservation approaches that promote natural adaptation into land use planning. Successful conservation will need to embrace multiple climate adaptation approaches, but to date they have not been conveyed in an integrated way to help support immediate conservation planning and action in the face of inherent spatial uncertainty about future conditions. Instead, these multiple approaches are often conveyed as competing or contradictory alternatives, when in fact, they are complementary. We present a framework that synthesizes six promising spatially explicit adaptation approaches for conserving biodiversity. We provide guidance on implementing these adaptation approaches and include case studies that highlight how biodiversity conservation can be used in planning. We conclude with general guidance on choosing appropriate climate adaptation approaches to amend for conservation planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The invasive grass Bromus tectorum negatively impacts grass and shrublands throughout the western U.S., particularly in arid and semiarid regions. We asked whether soil microbes associated with a native grass ( Bouteloua gracilis ) affect growth of Bromus and competition between Bromus and Bouteloua . We also examined whether plant responses varied between soils from 15 sites in the Northern Great Plains. Bromus and Bouteloua were grown in media with sterilized or unsterilized soil, alone and together. Soil sterilization reduced biomass of Bouteloua and Bromus grown alone by an estimated 50% and 48%, respectively. Additionally, results provided evidence that sterilization increased the effect of competition on Bromus , and may have reduced the effect of competition on Bouteloua . Bouteloua likely had a stronger negative effect on Bromus in sterilized soils because sterilization reduced Bromus biomass by a greater absolute amount. Response to sterilization varied appreciably by site for Bromus, but not Bouteloua. Our results support the hypothesis that invasive species such as Bromus often have positive responses to soil biota in the invaded range. Soil microbes are one factor that may be important in determining dynamics of plant invasions, and plant responses to new sites and competition with natives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Soils sequester and release substantial atmospheric carbon,but the contribution of fungal communities to soil carbon balance under rising C02 is not well understood. Soil properties likely mediate these fungal responses but are rarely explored in C02 experiments. We studied soil fungal communities in a grassland ecosystem exposed to a preindustrial-to-future C02 gradient (250 to 500 ppm) in a black clay soil and a sandy loam soil. Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing of the rRNA gene cluster revealed that fungal community composition and its response to C02 differed significantly between soils. Fungal species richness and relative abundance of Chytridiomycota (chytrids) increased linearly with C02 in the black clay (P < 0.04,R2 > 0.7),whereas the relative abundance of Glomeromycota (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) increased linearly with elevated C02 in the sandy loam (P = 0.02,R2 = 0.63). Across both soils,decomposition rate was positively correlated with chytrid relative abundance (r = 0.57) and,in the black clay soil,fungal species richness. Decomposition rate was more strongly correlated with microbial biomass (r = 0.88) than with fungal variables. Increased labile carbon availability with elevated C02 may explain the greater fungal species richness and Chytridiomycota abundance in the black clay soil,whereas increased phosphorus limitation may explain the increase in Glomeromycota at elevated C02 in the sandy loam. Our results demonstrate that soil type plays a key role in soil fungal responses to rising atmospheric C02. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses were utilized to determine the composition and function of complex air–water interface biofilms sampled from the hulls of two US Navy destroyers. Prokaryotic community analyses using PhyloChip-based 16S rDNA profiling revealed two significantly different and taxonomically rich biofilm communities (6,942 taxa) in which the majority of unique taxa were ascribed to members of the Gammaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria and Clostridia. Although metagenomic sequencing indicated that both biofilms were dominated by prokaryotic sequence reads (> 91%) with the majority of the bacterial reads belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria, the Ship-1 metagenome harbored greater organismal and functional diversity and was comparatively enriched for sequences from Cyanobacteria, Bacteroidetes and macroscopic eukaryotes, whereas the Ship-2 metagenome was enriched for sequences from Proteobacteria and microscopic photosynthetic eukaryotes. Qualitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry metaproteome analyses identified 678 unique proteins, revealed little overlap in species and protein composition between the ships and contrasted with the metagenomic data in that ~80% of classified and annotated proteins were of eukaryotic origin and dominated by members of the Bacillariophyta, Cnidaria, Chordata and Arthropoda (data deposited to the ProteomeXchange, identifier PXD000961). Within the shared metaproteome, quantitative18O and iTRAQ analyses demonstrated a significantly greater abundance of structural proteins from macroscopic eukaryotes on Ship-1 and diatom photosynthesis proteins on Ship-2. Photosynthetic pigment composition and elemental analyses confirmed that both biofilms were dominated by phototrophic processes. These data begin to provide a better understanding of the complex organismal and biomolecular composition of marine biofilms while highlighting caveats in the interpretation of stand-alone environmental ‘-omics’ datasets.

AB  - Error characterisation of satellite-retrieved soil moisture (SM) is crucial for maximizing their utility in research and applications in hydro-meteorology and climatology. It can provide insights for retrieval development and validation, and inform suitable strategies for data fusion and assimilation. Su et al. (2013a) proposed a potential Fourier method for quantifying the errors based on the difference between the empirical power spectra of these SM data and a water balance model via spectral fitting (SF), circumventing the need for any ancillary data. This work first evaluates its utility by estimating the errors in two passive and active microwave satellite SM over Australia, and comparing the results against the triple collocation (TC) estimator. The SF estimator shows very good agreement with TC in terms of error standard deviation and signal-to-noise ratio, with strong linear correlations of 0.80–0.92 but with lower error estimates. As the two estimators are not strictly comparable, their strong agreement suggests a strong complementarity between time-domain and frequency-domain analyses of errors. A better understanding of the spectral characteristics of the error is still needed to understand their differences. Next, spatial analyses of the derived (SF and TC) error maps, in terms of error standard deviation and noise-to-signal ratio, for the two satellite data are performed with principal component analysis to identify influence of vegetation/leaf-area index (LAI), rainfall, soil wetness, and spatial heterogeneity in topography and soil type on retrieval errors. Lastly, seasonal analysis of the errors discovers systematic temporal variability in errors due to variability in rainfall amount, and less so with changing LAI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over 1200 post-fire assessment and treatment implementation reports from four decades (1970s-2000s) of western US forest fires have been examined to identify decadal patterns in fire characteristics and the justifications and expenditures for the post-fire treatments. The main trends found were: (1) the area burned by wildfire increased over time and the rate of increase accelerated after 1990; (2) the proportions of burned area assessed as low, moderate and high burn severity likely have remained fairly constant over time, but the use of satellite imagery that began c. 2000 increased the resolution of burn severity assessments leading to an apparent decreased proportion of high burn severity during the 2000s: (3) treatment justifications reflected regional concerns (e.g. soil productivity in areas of timber harvest) and generally reflected increased human encroachment in the wildland-urban interface; (4) modifications to roads were the most frequently recommended post-fire treatment type; (5) seeding was the most frequently used land treatment, but declined in use over time; (6) use of post-fire agricultural straw mulch has steadily increased because of proven success; and (7) the greatest post-fire expenditures have been for land treatments applied over large areas to protect important resources (e.g. municipal water sources).

AB  - Photosynthesis (PSN) is a pigment level process in which antenna pigments (predominately chlorophylls) in chloroplasts absorb photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for the photochemical process. PAR absorbed by foliar non-photosynthetic components is not used for PSN. The fraction of PAR absorbed (fAPAR) by a canopy/vegetation (i.e., fAPAR canopy ) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images, referred to as MOD15A2 FPAR, has been used to compute absorbed PAR (APAR) for PSN (APAR PSN ) which is utilized to produce the standard MODIS gross primary production (GPP) product, referred to as MOD17A2 GPP. In this study, the fraction of PAR absorbed by chlorophyll throughout the canopy (fAPAR chl ) was retrieved from MODIS images for three AmeriFlux crop fields in Nebraska. There are few studies in the literature that compare the performance of MOD15A2 FPAR versus fAPAR chl in GPP estimation. In our study MOD15A2 FPAR and the retrieved fAPAR chl were compared with field fAPAR canopy and the fraction of PAR absorbed by green leaves of the vegetation (fAPAR green ). MOD15A2 FPAR overestimated field fAPAR canopy in spring and in fall, and underestimated field fAPAR canopy in midsummer whereas fAPAR chl correctly captured the seasonal phenology. The retrieved fAPAR chl agreed well with field fAPAR green at early crop growth stage in June, and was less than field fAPAR green in late July, August and September. GPP estimates with fAPAR chl and with MOD15A2 FPAR were compared to tower flux GPP. GPP simulated with fAPAR chl was corroborated with tower flux GPP. Improvements in crop GPP estimation were achieved by replacing MOD15A2 FPAR with fAPAR chl which also reduced uncertainties of crop GPP estimates by 1.12–2.37 g C m − 2 d − 1 .

AB  - Power generated from marine energy devices, including those that harvest power from the waves and tides, has the potential to help meet the low-carbon energy needs of many coastal nations. However, these devices, and their related mooring lines, anchoring and buoyancy systems, and power export cables are still under development, resulting in a lack of understanding of potential environmental effects of these technologies. Locations suitable for marine energy development typically consist of rough waters, strong tidal currents, large waves, and inhospitable conditions for oceanographic measurements. Coupled with novel interactions between marine animals (particularly marine mammals and fish) and marine energy devices, these high-energy environments create a challenge for accurately observing, measuring, and analyzing environmental effects. Under the auspices of the International Ocean Energy Systems (OES), a collaborative project (Annex IV) was devised to identify and facilitate sharing of existing information on potential effects of tidal turbines and wave energy converters, and to inform permitting (consenting) processes that will enable deployment of these devices. In this paper, we explore the application of a variety of scientific fields to the examination of the environmental impacts of marine renewable energy devices, through three focused analyses. These analyses were conducted as part of the Annex IV initiative and are explored in greater length in the final report for the Annex IV effort; they focus on high-priority areas of concern for marine energy development that have appeared across several nations: 1) the interaction of marine animals with turbine blades; 2) effects of underwater sound from marine energy devices on marine animals; and 3) effects on the physical systems due to energy removal and flow changes from the operation of marine energy devices. These analyses synthesize the current state of scientific understanding, informed by field monitoring, laboratory studies, and modeling efforts, and identify key data gaps that limit the information regulators and researchers can apply to future device deployments.

N2  - <bold>Objective: </bold>To determine whether adding mindfulness-based eating and stress management practices to a diet-exercise program improves weight loss and metabolic syndrome components.<bold>Methods: </bold>In this study 194 adults with obesity were randomized to a 5.5-month program with or without mindfulness training and identical diet-exercise guidelines. Intention-to-treat analyses with multiple imputation were used for missing data. The primary outcome was 18-month weight change.<bold>Results: </bold>Estimated effects comparing the mindfulness to control arm favored the mindfulness arm in (a) weight loss at 12 months, -1.9 kg (95% CI: -4.5, 0.8; P = 0.17), and 18 months, -1.7 kg (95% CI: -4.7, 1.2; P = 0.24), though not statistically significant; (b) changes in fasting glucose at 12 months, -3.1 mg/dl (95% CI: -6.3, 0.1; P = 0.06), and 18 months, -4.1 mg/dl (95% CI: -7.3, -0.9; P = 0.01); and (c) changes in triglyceride/HDL ratio at 12 months, -0.57 (95% CI: -0.95, -0.18; P = 0.004), and 18 months, -0.36 (95% CI: -0.74, 0.03; P = 0.07). Estimates for other metabolic risk factors were not statistically significant, including waist circumference, blood pressure, and C-reactive protein.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Mindfulness enhancements to a diet-exercise program did not show substantial weight loss benefit but may promote long-term improvement in some aspects of metabolic health in obesity that requires further study.

However, substantial evidence suggests that the burden of Mycobacterium bovis, the cause of bovine tuberculosis, might be underestimated in human beings as the cause of zoonotic tuberculosis. In 2013, results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of global zoonotic tuberculosis showed that the same challenges and concerns expressed 15 years ago remain valid. These challenges faced by people with zoonotic tuberculosis might not be proportional to the scientific attention and resources allocated in recent years to other diseases. The burden of zoonotic tuberculosis in people needs important reassessment, especially in areas where bovine tuberculosis is endemic and where people live in conditions that favour direct contact with infected animals or animal products. As countries move towards detecting the 3 million tuberculosis cases estimated to be missed annually, and in view of WHO's end TB strategy endorsed by the health authorities of WHO Member States in 2014 to achieve a world free of tuberculosis by 2035, we call on all tuberculosis stakeholders to act to accurately diagnose and treat tuberculosis caused by M bovis in human beings.

N2  - Oxidative stress is involved in age-related cognitive decline. The dietary antioxidants, carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamin A may play a role in the prevention or delay in cognitive decline. In this study, sera were obtained from 78 octogenarians and 220 centenarians from the Georgia Centenarian Study. Brain tissues were obtained from 47 centenarian decedents. Samples were analyzed for carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and retinol using HPLC. Analyte concentrations were compared with cognitive tests designed to evaluate global cognition, dementia, depression and cognitive domains (memory, processing speed, attention, and executive functioning). Serum lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene concentrations were most consistently related to better cognition (P&lt;0.05) in the whole population and in the centenarians. Only serum lutein was significantly related to better cognition in the octogenarians. In brain, lutein and β-carotene were related to cognition with lutein being consistently associated with a range of measures. There were fewer significant relationships for α-tocopherol and a negative relationship between brain retinol concentrations and delayed recognition. These findings suggest that the status of certain carotenoids in the old may reflect their cognitive function. The protective effect may not be related to an antioxidant effect given that α-tocopherol was less related to cognition than these carotenoids.

AB  - SUMMARY Plants defend themselves against potential pathogens via the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) are largely unknown. In this study, we show that tomato HP1/DDB1, coding for a key component of the CUL4-based ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, is required for resistance to Agrobacterium tumefaciens. We found that the DDB1-deficient mutant ( high pigment-1, hp1) is susceptible to nontumorigenic A. tumefaciens. The efficiency of callus generation from the hp1 cotyledons was extremely low as a result of the necrosis caused by Agrobacterium infection. On infiltration of nontumorigenic A. tumefaciens into leaves, the hp1 mutant moderately supported Agrobacterium growth and developed disease symptoms, but the expression of the pathogenesis-related gene SlPR1a1 and several PTI marker genes was compromised at different levels. Moreover, exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) triggered SlPR1a1 gene expression and enhanced resistance to A. tumefaciens in wild-type tomato plants, whereas these SA-regulated defence responses were abolished in hp1 mutant plants. Thus, HP1/DDB1 may function through interaction with the SA-regulated PTI pathway in resistance against Agrobacterium infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The spatial pattern of downy mildew ( Pseudoperonospora humuli) on hop ( Humulus lupulus) was characterized over 4 years to aid in deriving an appropriate incidence-density relationship. From 472 disease assessments (datasets), discrete distributions were fitted to the datasets to determine aggregation of disease density. Where distributions were able to be fitted, the Poisson distribution fitted 4% of the datasets and the negative binomial distribution fitted 87% of the datasets. Larger-scale patterns of disease were assessed by autocorrelation and runs analysis; both indicated aggregation of diseased plants was less common than aggregation of disease within plants. Taylor's power law indicated disease density was aggregated and related to mean disease density in all years. Disease incidence and density were linked by saturation-type relationships based on the zero term of the negative binomial distribution or an empirical regression. Certain individual datasets were not described well by any incidence-density model, particularly when disease density was greater than about 0·8 diseased shoots per plant with the cultivar Cascade. When applied to 56 validation datasets, 88% of the variation in observed disease incidence was explained by the incidence-density models. Under conditions where sampling would be implemented for disease management, the requisite conditions appear to be in place for a binomial sampling plan for downy mildew. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The extensive mortality of yellow-cedar along more than 1000 kilometers of the northern Pacific coast of North America serves as a leading example of climate effects on a forest tree species. In this article, we document our approaches to resolving the causes of tree death, which we explain as a cascade of interacting topographic, forest-structure, and microclimate factors that act on a unique vulnerability of yellow-cedar to fine-root freezing. The complex causes of tree mortality are reduced to two risk factors -- snow depth and soil drainage -- which are then used to model present and future cedar habitat suitability. We propose a dynamic, comprehensive conservation strategy for this valuable species on the basis of zones created by shifting climate, cedar's ecological niche, and observed risk factors. Research on yellow-cedar decline is offered as a template for understanding and adapting to climate change for other climate-forest issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examined how marine-derived nutrients (MDN), in the form of spawning Pacific salmon, influenced the nutritional status and δ15N of stream-dwelling fishes. We sampled juvenile coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Dolly Varden ( Salvelinus malma) during spring and fall from 11 south-central Alaskan streams that ranged widely in spawning salmon biomass (0.1-4.7 kg·m-2). Growth rate (as indexed by RNA-DNA ratios), energy density, and δ15N enrichment in spring-sampled fishes increased with spawner biomass, indicating the persistence of spawner effects more than 6 months after salmon spawning. Point estimates suggest that spawner effects on nutrition were substantially greater for coho salmon than Dolly Varden (268% and 175% greater for growth and energy, respectively), indicating that both species benefitted physiologically, but that juvenile coho salmon accrued more benefits than Dolly Varden. Although the data were less conclusive for fall- than spring-sampled fish, they do suggest spawner effects were also generally positive during fall, soon after salmon spawned. In a follow-up analysis where growth rate and energy density were modeled as a function of δ15N enrichment, results suggested that both increased with MDN assimilation, especially in juvenile coho salmon. Our results support the importance of salmon runs to the nutritional ecology of stream-dwelling fishes. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Nous examinons comment les nutriments d'origine marine (MDN), que représentent les saumons du Pacifique en fraie, influencent le statut nutritif et le δ15N des poissons des cours d'eau. Nous avons échantillonné des jeunes saumons coho ( Oncorhynchus kisutch) et Dolly Varden ( Salvelinus malma) durant le printemps et l'automne dans 11 cours d'eau du centre-sud de l'Alaska qui différaient considérablement par la biomasse de saumons en fraie (0,1-4,7 kg·m-2). Le taux de croissance (mesuré par les rapports ARN-ADN), la densité énergétique et l'enrichissement de δ15N chez les poissons prélevés au printemps augmentent tous en fonction de la biomasse des reproducteurs en fraie, ce qui indique une persistance des effets des reproducteurs plus de 6 mois après la fraie des saumons. Des estimations ponctuelles laissent penser que l'effet des reproducteurs sur la nutrition est substantiellement plus important pour le saumon coho que pour la Dolly Warden (respectivement 268 % et 178 % supérieur pour la croissance et l'énergie), ce qui indique que les deux espèces profitent du point de vue physiologique, mais que les jeunes saumons cohos accumulent plus d'avantages que les Dolly Warden. Bien que les données soient moins claires chez les poissons échantillonnés à l'automne que chez ceux du printemps, elles indiquent que les effets des reproducteurs sont aussi généralement favorables durant l'automne, peu après la fraie des saumons. Lors d'une étude subséquente, nous avons modélisé le taux de croissance et la densité énergétique en fonction de l'enrichissement de δ15N; les résultats indiquent que les deux augmentent avec l'assimilation des MDN, particulièrement chez les jeunes saumons cohos. Nos résultats soulignent l'importance des montaisons de saumons pour l'écologie de l'alimentation chez les poissons qui habitent les cours d'eau. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum L.) is an exotic annual grass causing ecosystem degradation in western US rangelands. We investigated potential mechanisms by which crested wheatgrass ( Agropyron cristatum L. Gaertn., Agropyron desertorum [Fisch. {Ex Link} Scult.]) suppresses the growth and invasibility of cheatgrass. Research focused on monthly mineral soil N availability and the proportional concentration of NH4+-N in a crested wheatgrass community by microsite (crested wheatgrass, unvegetated interspace, shrub subcanopy) and soil depth (0-15, 15-30 cm) over a 1-yr period. Mineral soil N in crested wheatgrass microsites ranged from 0.24 to 1.66 mmol · kg−1 and was not appreciably lower than the other microsites or other ecosystems we have measured in the Great Basin. The molar proportion of NH4+-N in the mineral N pool of crested wheatgrass averaged over 85% for the year and is significantly higher than the other microsites and far greater than other plant communities we have measured in the Great Basin. We conclude that crested wheatgrass does not suppress cheatgrass by controlling mineral N below a threshold level; rather, we hypothesize that it may limit nitrification and thereby reduce NO3−-N availability to the nitrophile cheatgrass.

AB  - El pasto cheatgrass ( Bromus tectorum L.) es un pasto exótico anual que está causando degradación en el ecosistema en los pastizales del oeste de los Estados Unidos. Investigamos los mecanismos potenciales por los cuales los pasto ( Agropyron cristatum L. Gaertn. y Agropyron desertorum [Fisch. {Ex Link} Scult.]) suprimen el crecimiento y la habilidad de invasión del pasto cheatgrass. La investigación se enfocó en la disponibilidad mensual de nitrógeno mineral en el suelo (N), y la concentración proporcional de NH4+-N en una comunidad de A. cristatum L. Gaertn. por micro-sitios ( A. cristatum L. Gaertn., inter-espacios sin vegetación y sub-dosel) con una profundidad del suelo de (0-15, 15-30 cm) por un periodo de un año. El nitrógeno mineral del suelo en A. cristatum L. Gaertn. varían de 0.24 a 1.66 mmol · kg−1 y no se aprecio más profundo que en los otros micro-sitios u otros ecosistemas que fueron medidos en la Great Basin. La proporción molar de NH4+-N en el concentrado de minerales de N de A. cristatum L. Gaertn. promedio arriba del 85% en el año y es significativamente mayor que los otros micro-sitios y bastante más grande que las otras comunidades de plantas que medimos en la Great Basin. Concluimos que el A. cristatum L. Gaertn. no suprime el pasto cheatgrass a través de controlar el nitrógeno abajo del nivel de tolerancia; en vez de eso, planteamos la hipótesis de que puede limitarse la nitrificación y por eso reducir la disponibilidad de NO3−-N para la nitro filiación del pasto cheatgrass.

AB  - With the increased emphasis on using native plant materials in range revegetation programs in the western United States it is critical to identify genetically similar groups and develop native grasses that are competitive with invasive weeds, easy to establish, and persistent, and that produce high seed yield. A grass that shows appreciable drought tolerance on arid rangelands is Snake River wheatgrass ( Elymus wawawaiensis J. Carlson & Barkworth). This study was designed to estimate genetic relationships and underlying genetic components for seed and forage trait improvement between plant introductions (PIs) of Snake River wheatgrass, 28 half-sib Snake River wheatgrass families (HSFs), and cultivars Secar and Discovery at Nephi, Utah, between 2005 and 2006. Based on molecular genetic diversity data in Snake River wheatgrass, with the exception of the PIs originating from Enterprise, Oregon, all other collections and cultivars are not genetically different and represent a common gene pool from which to develop improved Snake River wheatgrass germplasm. Selection in Snake River wheatgrass for total seed yield (g · plot−1), 100-seed weight (g), and seedling emergence from a deep planting depth had a positive effect. Further increases through selection and genetic introgression from hybridization with PIs will likely increase seed yield and 100-seed weight, but will not increase seedling emergence. Increases in dry matter yield (DMY) were observed after two cycles of selection in the HSFs compared to the PIs. There remains considerable genetic and phenotypic variation to further increase DMY in Snake River wheatgrass through selection and hybridization. Trends in forage nutritional quality were not observed after two cycles of selection in the HSFs or the PIs and will not likely result in improvement. Through recurrent selection, populations of Snake River wheatgrass have been and can be developed to more effectively establish and compete on annual weed-infested rangelands.

AB  - Con el aumento en el interés de usar plantas nativas para los programas de revegetación en el oeste de los Estados Unidos es necesario identificar grupos genéticamente similares y desarrollar pastos nativos que sean competitivos con plantas invasoras, fácil de establecerse, persistentes y con alto rendimiento en producción de semilla. El pasto que muestra buena tolerancia a la sequia en pastizales áridos es el Snake River wheatgrass ( Elymus wawawaiensis J. Carlson & Barkworth). Este estudio fue diseñado para estimar la relación genética y subrayar los componentes genéticos para el rasgo de mejoramiento de la semilla y el forraje entre introducción de plantas (PIs) de Snake River wheatgrass, 28 medio hermanas familias de Snake River wheatgrass (HSFs) y de cultivos de Secar y Discovery en Nephi, Utah, entre los años 2005 y 2006. Basados en datos de diversidad genética molecular del pasto Snake River wheatgrass con excepción del PIs originario de Enterprise, Oregon, todas las demás colecciones y cultivos no son genéticamente diferentes y representan un grupo con un gen común del cual se desarrollo el germoplasma mejorado del Snake River wheatgrass. La selección del Snake River wheatgrass por rendimiento total de semilla (g · parecela−1), peso de semilla (g) y emergencia de plántulas de una profundidad de plantación profunda tuvo efecto positivo. Aunado al incremento a través de selección y introgresion genética de hibridación con PIs podría incrementar el rendimiento de semilla y el peso de 100 semillas pero no aumentar la emergencia de plántulas. El incremento en rendimiento de materia seca (RMS) fue observado después de 2 ciclos de selección en el HSFs comparado con el PIs. Ahí queda considerable variación genética y fenotípica para futuro incremento en rendimiento de materia seca (RMS) en Snake River wheatgrass a través de selección e hibridación. Tendencias en la calidad nutricional del forraje no se observaron después de 2 ciclos de selección en el HSFs ni en el PIs y no es probable que resulte en mejoramiento. A través de selección recurrente de poblaciones de Snake River wheatgrass han sido y pueden ser desarrolladas para establecerse con mayor efectividad y competir con hierbas anuales en pastizales infestados.

AB  - The objective of this study was to test how the genetic polymorphisms located within the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) locus would modulate the relationship between a diet high in carbohydrate and insulin resistance related traits in metabolic syndrome adults. A one year nutritional intervention study focusing on education to increase dietary intake of whole grain, vegetable and fruit, and to reduce the intake of sodium, simple sugar and dietary fat (especially cooking oil and pork lard) was conducted. Two districts in Shanghai, China were randomly selected to be the intervention and control group, and patients (n=235) with metabolic syndrome within these two districts were selected based on a multistage sampling method. Fasting glucose was reduced in rs328 CC homozygotes (p=0.028) but not G carriers (p=0.686) within the intervention group. Also an ancillary study with greater statistical power by combining the baseline measurements across both the intervention and control groups was conducted to test the cross-sectional statistical interactions between carbohydrate/fat and lipoprotein lipase genotypes for homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance/insulin/fasting glucose. Increased carbohydrate intakes were positively associated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin in rs328 G carriers but not CC homozygotes (p for interaction was 0.025). These results indicate that diet high in carbohydrate may not be suitable for metabolic syndrome rs328 G carriers, calling for the development of personalized dietary intervention for metabolic syndrome subjects.
AB  - 本研究旨在探讨代谢综合征人群脂蛋白脂酶基因多态性在调节高碳水化合物 饮食与胰岛素抵抗相关参数中的作用。通过多阶段抽样的方法，在上海市的 两个城区筛选出代谢综合征患者，并将筛选出的研究对象按照区域划分为对 照组和干预组（n=235）。营养干预期为一年，旨在教育研究对象增加全谷 类食物、蔬菜、水果的摄入，减少钠、单糖和膳食脂肪（尤其是烹调油和猪 油）的摄入。干预组rs328 CC 基因型患者空腹血糖降低（p=0.028），而 rs328 G 等位基因携带者血糖没有显著变化（p=0.686）。同时，本文还对合 并了干预组和对照组的基线资料进行了一个横断面研究分析，分析碳水化合 物或脂肪与脂蛋白脂酶基因多态对稳态模型评估的胰岛素抵抗指数/胰岛素/ 空腹血糖的交互作用。碳水化合物摄入量与稳态模型评估的胰岛素抵抗指数 在rs328 G 等位基因携带者中呈正相关，而在CC 基因型患者中没有关联 （交互作用p=0.025）。上述分析结果表明，高碳水化合物饮食可能不适合 携带rs328 G 等位基因的代谢综合征患者，不同基因型的代谢综合征患者可 能需要不同的饮食方案。

AB  - Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and indicators of cognitive function. Design Randomized clinical trial (Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders Trial). Setting Eight US academic centers. Participants A total of 1601 adults ages 70–89 years, sedentary, without dementia, and with functional limitations. Measurements Baseline ABI and interviewer- and computer-administered cognitive function assessments were obtained. These assessments were used to compare a physical activity intervention with a health education control. Cognitive function was reassessed 24 months later (interviewer-administered) and 18 or 30 months later (computer-administered) and central adjudication was used to classify individuals as having mild cognitive impairment, probable dementia, or neither. Results Lower ABI had a modest independent association with poorer cognitive functioning at baseline (partial r = 0.09; P < .001). Although lower baseline ABI was not associated with overall changes in cognitive function test scores, it was associated with higher odds for 2-year progression to a composite of either mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia (odds ratio 2.60 per unit lower ABI; 95% confidence interval 1.06–6.37). Across 2 years, changes in ABI were not associated with changes in cognitive function. Conclusion In an older cohort sedentary individuals with dementia and with functional limitations, lower baseline ABI was independently correlated with cognitive function and associated with greater 2-year risk for progression to mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia.

AB  - Relatively little information has been published on Coyotes in the eastern United States, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region, the last area of the contiguous US to be colonized by Coyotes. Increases in eastern Coyote distribution and abundance have been documented, and concerns about their impact on wildlife and livestock are growing. Information from published and unpublished manuscripts, theses, dissertations, and state wildlife agency records in the mid-Atlantic region were examined and synthesized. This review provides a comprehensive summary of Coyote ecology in the mid-Atlantic for natural resource managers and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Catfish hatcheries use copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) as an economical control for saprolegniasis on eggs. This study determines hatch rate of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque 1818), eggs in hatching troughs containing 23.8 °C flow-through well water when treated with 100 mg L−1 CuSO4·5H2O (10 times the proposed therapeutic dose). Eggs were treated daily until the embryos reached the eyed stage. Fry survival in the control and 100 mg L−1 CuSO4·5H2O treatments was significantly different (15% and 71% respectively). This study demonstrates that there is a considerable margin of safety in using CuSO4·5H2O as a catfish egg treatment to control saprolegniasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In order to effectively study, manage, conserve, and sustain shallow-subtidal ecosystems, a spatial inventory of the basic resources and habitats is essential. Because of the complexities of shallow-subtidal substrates, benthic communities, geology, geomorphology, and water column attributes, few standard protocols are fully articulated and tested that describe the mapping and inventory processes and accompanying interpretations. In this paper, we describe a systematic approach to map Rhode Island's shallow-subtidal coastal lagoon ecosystems, by using, integrating, and reconciling multiple data sets to identify the geology, soils, biological communities, and environments that, collectively, define each shallow-subtidal habitat. We constructed maps for these lagoons via a deliberate, step by step approach. Acoustics and geostatistical modeling were used to create a bathymetric map. These data were analyzed to identify submerged landforms and geologic boundaries. Geologic interpretations were verified with video and grab samples. Soils were sampled, characterized, and mapped within the context of the landscape and geologic boundaries. Biological components and distributions were investigated using acoustics, grab samples, video, and sediment profile images. Data sets were cross-referenced and ground-truthed to test for inconsistencies. Maps and geospatial data, with Federal (eographic Data Committee (FGDC I-compliant metadata, were finalized after reconciling data set inconsistencies and made available on the Internet. These data allow for classification in the revised Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). With these maps, we explored potential relationships among and between physical and biological parameters. In some cases, we discovered a clear match between habitat measures; in others, however, relationships were more difficult to distinguish and require further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bottlebrush squirreltail (Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey) is an important native bunchgrass for rangeland restoration in western North America. This species is taxonomically complex and has diverged into as many as four subspecies, including subsp. brevifolius, for which four geographically distinct races have been described (A, B, C, and D). Of these four races, only C occurs in the northern Intermountain West. Our objectives were to describe phenotypic and genetic variation within C and to ascertain its taxonomic status. We evaluated 32 populations of C collected across the northern Intermountain West for a battery of biomass, phenological, and functional traits in common-garden settings in the field and greenhouse. Genetic variation was assessed with the use of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, and correlations were calculated among phenotypic, genetic, environmental, and geographic distance matrices with the use of Mantel tests. Values for these four distance measures were positively correlated, suggesting that environmental heterogeneity and isolation by distance are shaping ecotypic divergence driven by natural selection. We describe three phenotypic zones for C that correspond to previously established ecoregion boundaries. Because genetic data group C apart from subsp. brevifolius races A, B, and D, which originate in the Rocky Mountains and western Great Plains, the so-called race C merits description as a new subspecies apart from subsp. brevifolius. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El pasto nativo amacollado (Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey) es importante para la restauración de los pastizales de Norte América. Esta especie es taxonómicamente compleja y se ha separado al menos en cuatro subespecies incluyendo la especie brevifolius de la cual se han descrito cuatro razas geográficamente distintas (A, B, C, y D). De estas cuatro razas solo la C se encuentra en la parte norte de las Intermontañas del Oeste. Nuestro objetivo fue describir la variación fenotípica y genotípica dentro de C y determinar su estatus taxonómico. Evaluamos 32 poblaciones de C recolectadas a lo largo de la parte norte de las Intermontañas del Oeste de una pila de biomasa fenológica y rasgos funcionales establecidos en jardines comunes en el campo y el invernadero. La variación genética se evaluó usando marcadores AFLP y las correlaciones fueron calculadas entre matrices de distancia fenológica, genética, medioambiental y geográfica, usando la prueba de Mantel. Los valores de esas cuatro distancias medidas estuvieron correlacionados positivamente, sugiriendo que la heterogeneidad e asilamiento por la distancia están moldeando la diferencia ecotípica conducida por la selección natural. Describimos tres zonas fenotípicas para C que corresponden al establecimiento de las fronteras de la ecoregión. Debido a que el grupo genético C esta aparte de la especie brevifolius las razas A, B, y D que se originaron en las Montañas Rocosas y la parte oeste de las Grandes Planicies, la llamada raza C tiene el merito descriptivo como una nueva subespecie independiente de la especie brevifolius.

AB  - Analytical methods to improve the detection of erythromycin in water and sediment were developed to optimize for erythromycin's recovery of extractable and bound residues from the aquatic environment. The objective of this study was to determine optimal recovery of erythromycin from water and sediment to improve its detection in environmental samples through solid-phase extraction (SPE) and sediment-extraction methods. SPE methods examined included previously reported methods for macrolide and sulfonamide antibiotics with erythromycin recoveries ranging from 75.5 % to 94.7 %. Extraction of erythromycin was performed from sand employing various solvents and buffers to determine the best method for extraction from two sandy loam pond sediments. Various extraction times were also examined, and all extraction procedures were performed in duplicate. The greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin in the Iowa sediment was 84 % using 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 4.2: acetonitrile (15:85, v/v) solution. The Oklahoma sediment yielded the greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin at 86.7 % with 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 7: acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) with a 60-minute shake time. The present results demonstrate improved extraction methods for enhancing the accuracy of erythromycin detection from environmental samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Northern red oak ( L.) seedling growth has been extensively studied. White oak ( L.) and chestnut oak ( L.), however, are far less investigated despite their importance among upland oak species in eastern North American forests. We characterized white and chestnut oak seedling response to light and available soil nutrients while using northern red oak as a benchmark. Germinants were grown within one of three shade treatments (25%, 18%, and 6% of full sun) in one of two native forest soil mixes over two growing seasons. Leaf area, shoot mass, and root mass of all three species showed positive growth responses to increasing light. Growth and biomass were higher for all species grown in the more nutrient-rich forest soil, but chestnut oak displayed the greatest positive responses to the higher nutrient levels. White oak seedlings were the slowest growers and demonstrated the most root-centered growth, with root to shoot ratios almost twice that of either chestnut or northern red oak seedlings. The oak species evaluated here responded differently to changes in resource availability. Our study demonstrates the differential response of upland oaks to low light and nutrients. These differences need consideration when developing oak management prescriptions for specific oaks. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La croissance des semis de chêne rouge ( L.) a fait l'objet de plusieurs études. Toutefois, le chêne blanc ( L.) et le chêne châtaignier ( L.) ont été beaucoup moins étudiés malgré leur importance parmi les espèces de chêne de milieu sec dans les forêts de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord. Nous avons caractérisé la réaction des semis de chêne blanc et de chêne châtaignier à la lumière et à la disponibilité des nutriments du sol en utilisant le chêne rouge comme référence. Les germinats se sont développés pendant deux saisons de croissance dans un des trois traitements d'ombre (25 %, 18 % et 6 % de la pleine lumière) et dans un des deux mélanges de sol forestier prélevés in situ. La croissance en surface foliaire, en biomasse des pousses et en biomasse racinaire des trois espèces a augmenté avec la disponibilité de la lumière. La croissance et la biomasse des trois espèces étaient plus élevées dans le sol forestier le plus riche, mais dans de telles conditions, la réaction du chêne châtaignier a été la plus forte. La croissance des semis de chêne blanc était la plus lente et la plus axée vers le développement racinaire avec un rapport entre la biomasse racinaire et celle des pousses presque deux fois plus élevé que ceux des semis de chêne châtaignier et de chêne rouge. Les espèces de chêne de la présente étude ont réagi différemment aux changements de disponibilité des ressources. Notre étude démontre que les chênes de milieu sec réagissent différemment à la faible disponibilité de lumière et de nutriments. Ces différences méritent d'être considérées pour mettre au point des prescriptions sylvicoles propres aux différentes espèces de chêne. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The following study was conducted in order to compare the modified single-seed descent method of selection used in soybean breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, Serbia, with the standard bulk method and the pedigree method. The source materials for the development of hybrid populations were 15 genotypes, and a total of 10 cross combinations were made. Comparison of the lines developed by the different breeding methods was done in the F6 generation. Genetic gain from selection was taken as the main indicator of efficiency of the tested methods. The modified single-seed descent method produced the best results. In most cases, the mean values for seed yield of the populations developed by that method were significantly higher than the values shown in the populations developed by the other 2 methods. The advantages of using genetic gain as the indicator of breeding efficiency were clearly demonstrated when interpreting the results for seed yield and yield components. Populations possessing desirable traits were easier to perceive, which is exceedingly useful when breeding for a complex trait such as yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Background At present, B cell epitopes involved in food allergy to wheat are known only for a few allergens and a few categories of patients. Objective To characterize the epitopes of different wheat kernel allergens: α-, γ, ω2, and ω5-gliadin, a low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunit, and a lipid transfer protein (LTP1) recognized by allergic patients and by sensitized mice and provide further understanding of the role of structure in determining allergic response. Methods Sera were obtained from 39 patients suffering from food allergy to wheat. BALB/c mice were sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 by intraperitoneal immunizations. Continuous epitopes bound by IgE were delineated by the Pepscan technique. The response to reduced, alkylated LTP1 was compared with that of the native form to evaluate the importance of protein folding on IgE reactivity. Results Few continuous epitopes of LTP1 reacted with IgE from allergic patients and mice, but one of them was common to several patients and sensitized mice. The unfolded protein was not recognized by either patient or mouse IgE, emphasizing the major role of LTP1 folding and discontinuous epitopes in IgE-binding. In contrast, many continuous epitopes were detected by patient and mouse IgE especially for an ω5-gliadin, which is an unstructured protein, and to a lesser extent, for the other gliadins and a LMW-glutenin subunit. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance The conformation of LTP1 appeared to have a strong impact on the type of IgE-binding epitopes elicited by this protein in both man and mouse. The responses in mice sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 were sufficiently comparable with the human response in terms of IgE-binding epitopes to provide support for the use of the mouse model in further investigations.

AB  - Plants in nutrient-poor environments typically have low foliar nitrogen (N) concentrations, long-lived tissues with leaf traits designed to use nutrients efficiently, and low rates of photosynthesis. We postulated that increasing N availability due to atmospheric deposition would increase photosynthetic capacity, foliar N, and specific leaf area (SLA) of bog shrubs. We measured photosynthesis, foliar chemistry and leaf morphology in three ericaceous shrubs ( Vaccinium myrtilloides, Ledum groenlandicum and Chamaedaphne calyculata) in a long-term fertilization experiment at Mer Bleue bog, Ontario, Canada, with a background deposition of 0.8 g N m a. While biomass and chlorophyll concentrations increased in the highest nutrient treatment for C. calyculata, we found no change in the rates of light-saturated photosynthesis ( A), carboxylation ( V) or SLA with nutrient (N with and without PK) addition, with the exception of a weak positive correlation between foliar N and A for C. calyculata, and higher V in L. groenlandicum with low nutrient addition. We found negative correlations between photosynthetic N use efficiency (PNUE) and foliar N, accompanied by a species-specific increase in one or more amino acids, which may be a sign of excess N availability and/or a mechanism to reduce ammonium (NH) toxicity. We also observed a decrease in foliar soluble Ca and Mg concentrations, essential minerals for plant growth, but no change in polyamines, indicators of physiological stress under conditions of high N accumulation. These results suggest that plants adapted to low-nutrient environments do not shift their resource allocation to photosynthetic processes, even after reaching N sufficiency, but instead store the excess N in organic compounds for future use. In the long term, bog species may not be able to take advantage of elevated nutrients, resulting in them being replaced by species that are better adapted to a higher nutrient environment.

AB  - Many studies have proposed resource dispersion as the main determinant of territory size in coyotes ( Say, 1823), but few have considered contender pressure as an alternative hypothesis. We tested for differences in rates of intra-territorial visitation, movement, and extra-territorial excursions between two populations of coyotes with large differences in territory sizes. We collected fine-scale (15 min) movement data of coyotes in southeastern Texas and south-central Idaho. Both populations were active for similar lengths of each day, but coyotes in Idaho had territories 10× larger, moved 2× faster, traveled 2× farther daily, and made extra-territorial excursions 3× less. Even with increased movement rates, coyotes in Idaho traversed territories slower than coyotes in Texas as predicted by the contender pressure hypothesis. We propose that in regions with high resource abundance, territory size of coyotes is determined by contender pressure and an inability to defend larger areas. Conversely, in low-resource areas, territory sizes are determined more by prey abundance and dispersion because intrusion rates are reduced given the lower density of conspecifics. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Plusieurs études ont suggéré que la dispersion des ressources est le principal facteur déterminant de la taille des territoires chez les coyotes ( Say, 1823), mais peu d'entre elles ont considéré la pression exercée par les concurrents comme hypothèse de rechange. Nous avons recherché des différences dans les taux de visites à l'intérieur des territoires, dans les déplacements et dans les excursions à l'extérieur des territoires entre deux populations qui présentent d'importantes différences dans la taille de leurs territoires. Nous avons récolté des données à échelle fine (15 min) sur les déplacements des coyotes dans le sud-est du Texas et le centre-sud de l'Idaho. Les deux populations sont actives pendant des périodes semblables tous les jours, mais les coyotes d'Idaho ont des territoires 10× plus grands, se déplacent 2× plus rapidement, parcourent des distances 2× plus grandes chaque jour et font 3x moins d'excursions extraterritoriales. Même avec leurs taux de déplacement plus élevés, les coyotes d'Idaho traversent leurs territoires plus lentement que les coyotes du Texas, comme le veut l'hypothèse de la pression des concurrents. Nous croyons que, dans les régions de forte abondance des ressources, la taille des territoires des coyotes est déterminée par la pression des concurrents et par leur incapacité de défendre des surfaces plus grandes. À l'inverse, dans les zones de ressources faibles, la taille des territoires est déterminée plus par l'abondance des proies et la dispersion puisque les taux d'intrusion sont réduits, étant donné la plus faible densité des coyotes.

AB  - To better understand the effect of temperature on mycotoxin biosynthesis, RNA-Seq technology was used to profile the Aspergillus flavus transcriptome under different temperature conditions. This approach allowed us to quantify transcript abundance for over 80% of fungal genes including 1153 genes that were differentially expressed at 30 and 37 °C. Eleven of the 55 secondary metabolite clusters were upregulated at the lower temperature, including aflatoxin biosynthesis genes, which were among the most highly upexpressed genes. On average, transcript abundance for the 30 aflatoxin biosynthesis genes was 3300 times greater at 30 °C as compared with 37 °C. The results are consistent with the view that high temperature negatively affects aflatoxin production by turning down transcription of the two key transcriptional regulators, aflR and aflS. Subtle changes in the expression levels of aflS to aflR appear to control transcription activation of the aflatoxin cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To optimize yields of long-chain fructans extracted from herbage, fructan concentrations and chromatographic profiles were compared in four cool-season grasses extracted by different methods. In a preliminary study, extraction temperatures, pH prior to extract concentration, numbers of extractions, and tissue coarseness were varied to evaluate their effects on chromatographic profiles and quantities of total long-chain fructan (degree of polymerization (DP) of ∼7 or higher). Fructans were separated by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). The identity of the putative fructan peaks was confirmed by acid hydrolysis of fructans to fructose. Tall fescue and bluegrass fructans were below the detection limits used in this study. Pooled timothy and cocksfoot data indicated that two or three extractions at the same temperature yielded similar amounts of fructans and that adjusting pH from 6 to 7 did not affect recovery. Replicated extractions of cocksfoot by four methods chosen from the preliminary study demonstrated that the least fructan was extracted from chopped cocksfoot at ambient temperature ( P = 0·019). One C18 solid-phase extraction cleanup step sufficed for analysis. The extraction method recommended is two boiling water extractions of either chopped or ground material. However, ground material extracted at ambient temperature is comparable in total fructan concentration and maximum DP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Agricultural land use is known to alter ecological processes, and native plant communities can require decades to centuries to recover from the disturbance of cultivation. "Recovery" is typically measured by comparison to undisturbed adjacent sites as a control. Recovery following cultivation in sagebrush ecosystems of the Great Basin remains largely unexamined even though nearly a half million hectares of land were dry-farmed and abandoned in the early 1900s. We tested the hypothesis that the native vegetation has not recovered from this exotic disturbance by evaluating differences in canopy cover of shrubs, grasses, and forbs between paired sets of historically dry-farmed land and adjacent never-cultivated areas. Paired sites were located in three ecological sites in northwestern Utah. We found that vegetation recovery from cultivation is variable by growth form, species, and ecological site. Shrub recovery was different among sagebrush (Artemisia) species. Yellow rabbitbrush (Chrysotharnnus viscidiflorus [Hook.] Nutt.) and black greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus [Hook.] Torr.), which often increase following disturbance, maintained higher cover inside old fields. At one of the paired sets, shrub composition was altered from a mix of four species to dominance of mainly Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young). Total forb cover was generally lower in cultivated areas and some species, such as spiny phlox (Phlox hoodii Richardson), had not recovered. The most common grass species encountered across all ecological sites, bottlebrush squirreltail (Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey), had higher cover in cultivated areas. Surprisingly, exotic annual species, such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), did not dominate these sites as they have for decades after cultivation in other areas of the Great Basin. This study demonstrates that the land-use legacy of dry farming on vegetation remains nearly a century after cultivation has ceased, and has direct implications for describing ecological site conditions.

AB  - Es sabido que la actividad agrícola altera los procesos ecológicos y las comunidades de plantas nativas pueden requerir décadas o siglos para recuperarse del disturbio provocado por el cultivo. La "Recuperación" es mide normalmente, comparando un sitio con disturbio con otro sin disturbio como control. La recuperación de los ecosistemas de artemisa del Great Basin, en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica permanece sin investigar aun cuando cerca de medio millón de hectáreas de tierra fueron abiertas al cultivo y después abandonadas a principios del 1900. Probamos la hipótesis de que la vegetación nativa no se ha recuperado de ese disturbio, evaluando diferencias en la cubierta del dosel de arbustos, pastos y hierbas entre parcelas pares; una históricamente cultivada en condiciones de temporal y otra parcela adyacente nunca cultivada. Las parcelas apareadas fueron ubicadas en tres sitios ecológicos en la parte noroeste de Utah. Encontramos que la recuperación de la vegetación por efecto del cultivo es variable por formas de crecimiento, especies y sitio ecológico. La recuperación de los arbustos fue diferente entre las especies de artemisas. Las especies Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus (Hook.) Nutt. y Sarcohatus vermiculatus (Hook.) Tort. que normalmente incrementan después de] disturbio mantuvieron alta cobertura en las tierras de cultivo abandonadas. En uno de los grupos de parcelas, la composición de arbustos fue dominada principalmente, por cuatro especies Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp, wyomingensis Beetle & Young. La cubierta de hierbas fue generalmente baja en fireas cultivadas y algunas especies como Phlox hoodii Richardson no tuvieron recuperación. La especie de pasto comúnmente encontrada en todos los sitios ecológicos fue, Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey que mostro alta cobertura en areas cultivadas. Sorpresivamente, especies exóticas anuales como Bromus tectorum L no dominaron esos sitios como lo han hecho por décadas en tierras abiertas al cultivo en otras partes de la Great Basin. Este estudio demuestra que la herencia dejada por la agricultura en condiciones de temporal se mantiene después de casi un siglo que la actividad agricola haya terminado y tiene implicaciones directas para describir la condición de sitio ecológico.

AB  - Previous studies have shown that bleaching negatively affects the flavor of 70% whey protein concentrate (WPC70), but bleaching effects on lower-protein products have not been established. Benzoyl peroxide (BP), a whey bleaching agent, degrades to benzoic acid (BA) and may elevate BA concentrations in dried whey products. No legal limit exists in the United States for BP use in whey, but international concerns exist. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide (HP) or BP bleaching on the flavor of 34% WPC (WPC34) and to evaluate residual BA in commercial and experimental WPC bleached with and without BP. Cheddar whey was manufactured in duplicate. Pasteurized fat-separated whey was subjected to hot bleaching with either HP at 500 mg/kg, BP at 50 or 100 mg/kg, or no bleach. Whey was ultrafiltered and spray dried into WPC34. Color [L*(lightness), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue)] measurements and norbixin extractions were conducted to compare bleaching efficacy. Descriptive sensory and instrumental volatile analyses were used to evaluate bleaching effects on flavor. Benzoic acid was extracted from experimental and commercial WPC34 and 80% WPC (WPC80) and quantified by HPLC. The b* value and norbixin concentration of BP-bleached WPC34 were lower than HP-bleached and control WPC34. Hydrogen peroxide-bleached WPC34 displayed higher cardboard flavor and had higher volatile lipid oxidation products than BP-bleached or control WPC34. Benzoyl peroxide-bleached WPC34 had higher BA concentrations than unbleached and HP-bleached WPC34 and BA concentrations were also higher in BP-bleached WPC80 compared with unbleached and HP-bleached WPC80, with smaller differences than those observed in WPC34. Benzoic acid extraction from permeate showed that WPC80 permeate contained more BA than did WPC34 permeate. Benzoyl peroxide is more effective in color removal of whey and results in fewer flavor side effects compared with HP and residual BA is decreased by ultrafiltration and diafiltration.

AB  - Sugar beet pulp (SBP), the residue from sugar extraction, was compounded and turned into in situ thermoplastic composite materials. The compounding was performed using a common twin- screw compounding extruder and water and glycerol were used as co-plasticizers. The melt compounding of SBP utilized the water-soluble characteristics of pectin which is one of main components of SBP. The structure of SBP was destroyed under extrusion and pectin was partially released and plasticized by water and glycerol. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the cellulose microfibrils were dispersed in the matrix of pectin and other ingredients. Effects of the water and glycerol co-plasticizers on rheological, tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of the SBP plastics were investigated. Effects of relative humidity of the environment on the tensile and dynamical mechanical properties of the neat SBP compounds were also evaluated. The results demonstrated that SBP could be processed as a plastic with water and glycerol as co-plasticizers using traditional processing equipments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim  We examined the influences of regional climate and land-use variables on mallard ( Anas platyrhynchos), blue-winged teal ( Anas discors), ruddy duck ( Oxyura jamaicensis) and pied-billed grebe ( Podilymbus podiceps) abundances to inform conservation planning in the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States. Location  The US portion of Bird Conservation Region 11 (US-BCR11, the Prairie Potholes), which encompasses six states within the United States: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. Methods  We used data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (NABBS), the National Land Cover Data Set, and the National Climatic Data Center to model the effects of environmental variables on waterbird abundance. We evaluated land-use covariates at three logarithmically related spatial scales (1000, 10,000 and 100,000 ha), and constructed hierarchical spatial count models a priori using information from published habitat associations. Model fitting was performed using a hierarchical modelling approach within a Bayesian framework. Results  Models with the same variables expressed at different scales were often in the best model subset, indicating that the influence of spatial scale was small. Both land-use and climate variables contributed strongly to predicting waterbird abundance in US-BCR11. The strongest positive influences on waterbird abundance were the percentage of wetland area across all three spatial scales, herbaceous vegetation and precipitation variables. Other variables that we included in our models did not appear to influence waterbirds in this study. Main conclusions  Understanding the relationships of waterbird abundance to climate and land use may allow us to make predictions of future distribution and abundance as environmental factors change. Additionally, results from this study can suggest locations where conservation and management efforts should be focused. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study presents the results of a broad intercomparison of a total of 15 global aerosol models within the AeroCom project. Each model is compared to observations related to desert dust aerosols, their direct radiative effect, and their impact on the biogeochemical cycle, i.e., aerosol optical depth (AOD) and dust deposition. Additional comparisons to Angstrom exponent (AE), coarse mode AOD and dust surface concentrations are included to extend the assessment of model performance and to identify common biases present in models. These data comprise a benchmark dataset that is proposed for model inspection and future dust model development. There are large differences among the global models that simulate the dust cycle and its impact on climate. In general, models simulate the climatology of vertically integrated parameters (AOD and AE) within a factor of two whereas the total deposition and surface concentration are reproduced within a factor of 10. In addition, smaller mean normalized bias and root mean square errors are obtained for the climatology of AOD and AE than for total deposition and surface concentration. Characteristics of the datasets used and their uncertainties may influence these differences. Large uncertainties still exist with respect to the deposition fluxes in the southern oceans. Further measurements and model studies are necessary to assess the general model performance to reproduce dust deposition in ocean regions sensible to iron contributions. Models overestimate the wet deposition in regions dominated by dry deposition. They generally simulate more realistic surface concentration at stations downwind of the main sources than at remote ones. Most models simulate the gradient in AOD and AE between the different dusty regions. However the seasonality and magnitude of both variables is better simulated at African stations than Middle East ones. The models simulate the offshore transport of West Africa throughout the year but they overestimate the AOD and they transport too fine particles. The models also reproduce the dust transport across the Atlantic in the summer in terms of both AOD and AE but not so well in winter-spring nor the southward displacement of the dust cloud that is responsible of the dust transport into South America. Based on the dependency of AOD on aerosol burden and size distribution we use model bias with respect to AOD and AE to infer the bias of the dust emissions in Africa and the Middle East. According to this analysis we suggest that a range of possible emissions for North Africa is 400 to 2200 Tg yr-1 and in the Middle East 26 to 526 Tg yr-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Countieswith higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified foodmanager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

AB  - Extensive and rapid losses of sea ice in the Arctic have raised conservation concerns for the Pacific walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus divergens), a large pinniped inhabiting arctic and subarctic continental shelf waters of the Chukchi and Bering seas. We developed a Bayesian network model to integrate potential effects of changing environmental conditions and anthropogenic stressors on the future status of the Pacific walrus population at four periods through the twenty-first century. The model framework allowed for inclusion of various sources and levels of knowledge, and representation of structural and parameter uncertainties. Walrus outcome probabilities through the century reflected a clear trend of worsening conditions for the subspecies. From the current observation period to the end of century, the greatest change in walrus outcome probabilities was a progressive decrease in the outcome state of robust and a concomitant increase in the outcome state of vulnerable. The probabilities of rare and extirpated states each progressively increased but remained <10% through the end of the century. The summed probabilities of vulnerable, rare, and extirpated (P(v,r,e)) increased from a current level of 10% in 2004 to 22% by 2050 and 40% by 2095. The degree of uncertainty in walrus outcomes increased monotonically over future periods. In the model, sea ice habitat (particularly for summer/fall) and harvest levels had the greatest influence on future population outcomes. Other potential stressors had much smaller influences on walrus outcomes, mostly because of uncertainty in their future states and our current poor understanding of their mechanistic influence on walrus abundance.

AB  - Inter- (between years) and intra- (within year) annual variability of precipitation are high on rangelands. We used replicated rainout shelters in a southern tallgrass prairie ecosystem to decrease precipitation variability for 3 yr (1999-2001). We removed interannual variability in total precipitation plus either 1) interannual variability in the seasonal distribution of precipitation (seasonal distribution) or 2) all additional variability in precipitation, including within-year differences in precipitation (even distribution). Our objective was to determine if decreasing variability in precipitation elicits aboveground biomass and plant diversity responses. Aboveground biomass was harvested in June (peak biomass) and December (end of growing season). Plant species diversity, richness, and evenness were determined each June. Reducing precipitation variability had limited effects on total aboveground biomass, grass and forb biomass, and biomass of key species across the 3 yr of investigation. Species richness, species diversity, species evenness, and functional group richness and diversity all were similar across the precipitation treatments across years. Total aboveground biomass and biomass of the dominant C4 perennial grasses little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) generally were not responsive to the precipitation treatments. However, one species-specific response did occur with the annual forb firewheel (Gaillardia pulchella Foug.) displaying consistent increases in biomass in the seasonal distribution precipitation treatment across all 3 yr. This suggests that increased predictability of precipitation at a given stage of this species's growth can elicit changes in productivity of a single species that are not manifest at the community level due to constraints of the dominant species. These findings indicate that the southern tallgrass prairie ecosystem is adaptable to changes in precipitation to result in relatively stable production that facilitates simpler predictions in response to altered precipitation regimes.

AB  - La variación de la precipitación entre (entre años) y dentro (en años) es sumamente alta en los pastizales. Utilizamos un protector de lluvia en forma replicada en la parte sur en un ecosistema de los pastizales altos para disminuir la variabilidad de la precipitación durante tres años (1999-2001). Eliminamos la variabilidad interanual en la precipitación total además 1) la variabilidad interanual en la distribución estacional de la precipitación (distribución estacional) o 2) toda la variabilidad adicional de la precipitación, incluyendo las diferencias dentro del año de la precipitación (distribución igual). Nuestro objetivo fue determinar si el disminuir la variabilidad de la precipitación produciría una respuesta en la biomasa aérea y en la diversidad de plantas. La biomasa aérea fue cosechada en junio (máxima producción de biomasa) y Diciembre (final de la época de crecimiento). La diversidad de las especies de plantas, riqueza y uniformidad se determinaron cada junio. El reducir la variabilidad de la precipitación tuvo efectos limitados en la total biomasa aérea, biomasa de las gramíneas y herbáceas y la biomasa de las especies claves en los tres años de la investigación. La biomasa aérea total y la biomasa de las gramíneas dominantes perenes C4 como little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) e Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) generalmente no respondieron a los tratamientos de la precipitación. Sin embargo, una respuesta específica ocurrió en la herbácea anual firewheel (Gaillardia pulchella Foug.) mostrando un sólido incremento en la biomasa con los tratamientos de la distribución de la precipitación estacional a través de los tres años. Esto sugiere que un aumento en la predictibilidad de la precipitación en determinada etapa de crecimiento de esta especie puede provocar cambios en la productividad de una sola especie que no se manifiesta en el nivel de la comunidad debido a las limitaciones de la especie dominante. Estos resultados indican que los ecosistemas del sur de los pastizales altos son adaptables a los cambios de precipitación a originar una producción relativamente estable que facilita las predicciones más simples en respuesta a los regímenes de precipitación modificada.

AB  - The debate regarding the benefits of rotational grazing has eluded resolution within the US rangeland profession for more than 60 yr. This forum examines the origin of the debate and the major reasons for its persistence in an attempt to identify common ground for resolution, and to search for meaningful lessons from this central chapter in the history of the US rangeland profession. Rotational grazing was a component of the institutional and scientific response to severe rangeland degradation at the turn of the 20th century, and it has since become the professional norm for grazing management. Managers have found that rotational grazing systems can work for diverse management purposes, but scientific experiments have demonstrated that they do not necessarily work for specific ecological purposes. These interpretations appear contradictory, but we contend that they can be reconciled by evaluation within the context of complex adaptive systems in which human variables such as goal setting, experiential knowledge, and decision making are given equal importance to biophysical variables. The scientific evidence refuting the ecological benefits of rotational grazing is robust, but also narrowly focused, because it derives from experiments that intentionally excluded these human variables. Consequently, the profession has attempted to answer a broad, complex question--whether or not managers should adopt rotational grazing--with necessarily narrow experimental research focused exclusively on ecological processes. The rotational grazing debate persists because the rangeland profession has not yet developed a management and research framework capable of incorporating both the social and biophysical components of complex adaptive systems. We recommend moving beyond the debate over whether or not rotational grazing works by focusing on adaptive management and the integration of experiential and experimental, as well as social and biophysical, knowledge to provide a more comprehensive framework for the management of rangeland systems.

AB  - El debate sobre los beneficios del pastoreo rotativo ha eludido una resolución en el ámbito de la profesión del manejo de los pastizales naturales en los EE.UU. por más de 60 años. Este foro examina el origen del debate y las principales razones de su persistencia en un intento por identificar un terreno común para su resolución y para buscar lecciones sustantivas de este capítulo central de la historia de la profesión del manejo de los pastizales naturales de EE.UU. El pastoreo rotativo fue un componente de la respuesta institucional y científica a la severa degradación de pastizales que ocurrió a comienzos del siglo 20 y desde entonces se ha transformado en la norma profesional para el manejo del pastoreo. Quienes manejan el pastoreo han encontrado que los sistemas rotativos pueden facilitar el logro de objetivos de manejo diversos, pero los experimentos científicos han demostrado que los sistemas de pastoreo no necesariamente contribuyen al logro de objetivos ecológicos específicos. Estas interpretaciones parecen contradictorias, pero sostenemos que pueden ser reconciliadas si son evaluadas dentro del contexto de sistemas adaptativos complejos en los que las variables humanas tales como el fijar metas, el conocimiento empírico, y la toma de decisiones reciben la misma importancia que las variables biofísicas. La evidencia científica refutando los beneficios ecológicos del pastoreo rotativo es robusta, pero con un foco estrecho, porque proviene de experimentos en los que se excluyeron intencionalmente las variables humanas. Por lo tanto, la profesión ha intentado dar respuesta a una pregunta amplia y compleja - si se debiera o no adoptar el pastoreo rotativo - con un enfoque necesariamente estrecho de investigación de procesos ecológicos. El debate sobre el pastoreo rotativo persiste porque la profesión de manejo de los pastizales aún no ha generado un marco de manejo e investigación que pueda incorporar tanto los componentes sociales como biofísicos de sistemas adaptativos complejos. Recomendamos ir más allá del debate sobre si el pastoreo rotativo "funciona" o no, y enfocar el debate en el manejo adaptativo y la integración de conocimiento experimental y empírico, así como el conocimiento social y biofísico, para proveer un marco más amplio para el manejo de sistemas de pastizales naturales.

AB  - The evolution of organic aerosols (OA) in Mexico City and its outflow is investigated with the nearly explicit gas phase photochemistry model GECKO-A (Generator of Explicit Chemistry and Kinetics of Organics in the Atmosphere), wherein precursor hydrocarbons are oxidized to numerous intermediate species for which vapor pressures are computed and used to determine gas/particle partitioning in a chemical box model. Precursor emissions included observed C3-10 alkanes, alkenes, and light aromatics, as well as larger n-alkanes (up to C25) not directly observed but estimated by scaling to particulate emissions according to their volatility. Conditions were selected for comparison with observations made in March 2006 (MILAGRO). The model successfully reproduces the magnitude and diurnal shape for both primary (POA) and secondary (SOA) organic aerosols, with POA peaking in the early morning at 15-20 µg m-3, and SOA peaking at 10-15 µg m-3 during mid-day. The majority (≥ 75 %) of the model SOA stems from the large n-alkanes, with the remainder mostly from the light aromatics. Simulated OA elemental composition reproduces observed H/C and O/C ratios reasonably well, although modeled ratios develop more slowly than observations suggest. SOA chemical composition is initially dominated by δ-hydroxy ketones and nitrates from the large alkanes, with contributions from peroxy acyl nitrates and, at later times when NOx is lower, organic hydroperoxides. The simulated plume-integrated OA mass continues to increase for several days downwind despite dilution-induced particle evaporation, since oxidation chemistry leading to SOA formation remains strong. In this model, the plume SOA burden several days downwind exceeds that leaving the city by a factor of > 3. These results suggest significant regional radiative impacts of SOA.

AB  - mospheric carbon dioxide (CO) enrichment may increase plant growth more than the uptake of chemical elements from soil. Increased CO also may alter element levels in biomass from multi-species vegetation by changing plant species abundances. We measured concentrations of ten elements in aboveground tissues of three C grasses that had been exposed for 2-3 growing seasons to a continuous gradient in CO from 250 to 500 μmol mol. The grasses, Bouteloua curtipendula, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Sorghastrum nutans, are competitive dominants in assemblages of tallgrass prairie vegetation growing on each of three soil types along a field CO gradient in central Texas, USA. Our objective was to determine whether CO influences element concentrations in grass mixtures by changing concentrations in individual species or shifting species abundances. Increased CO had little effect on element concentrations in grasses compared to differences observed among grass species and soils. Increasing CO from the pre-Industrial to elevated levels reduced the phosphorus concentration in grasses grown on a clay and sandy loam soil. Concentrations of most other elements did not respond to CO treatment. Cover of the mid-grass Bouteloua declined at higher CO levels as cover of the taller grass Sorghastrum increased. Concentrations of several elements were lower in Bouteloua than Sorghastrum; hence, this exchange of species at higher CO increased element concentrations in grass assemblages. Potential consequences include an improvement in the nutritional quality of plants for herbivores. Results highlight the underappreciated impact that CO enrichment may have on ecosystem functioning by changing plant composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass for biofuel production generates inhibitory compounds that interfere with microbial growth and subsequent fermentation. Remediation of the inhibitors by current physical, chemical, and biological abatement means is economically impractical, and overcoming the inhibitory effects of lignocellulose hydrolysate poses a significant technical challenge for lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production. Development of tolerant ethanologenic yeast strains has demonstrated the potential of in situ detoxification for numerous aldehyde inhibitors derived from lignocellulose biomass pretreatment and conversion. In the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding mechanisms of yeast tolerance for tolerant strain development. Enriched genetic backgrounds, enhanced expression, interplays, and global integration of many key genes enable yeast tolerance. Reprogrammed pathways support yeast functions to withstand the inhibitor stress, detoxify the toxic compounds, maintain energy and redox balance, and complete active metabolism for ethanol fermentation. Complex gene interactions and regulatory networks as well as co-regulation are well recognized as involved in yeast adaptation and tolerance. This review presents our current knowledge on mechanisms of the inhibitor detoxification based on molecular studies and genomic-based approaches. Our improved understanding of yeast tolerance and in situ detoxification provide insight into phenotype-genotype relationships, dissection of tolerance mechanisms, and strategies for more tolerant strain development for biofuels applications.

AB  - In situ measurements of soil moisture are invaluable for calibrating and validating land surface models and satellite-based soil moisture retrievals. In addition, long-term time series of in situ soil moisture measurements themselves can reveal trends in the water cycle related to climate or land cover change. Nevertheless, on a worldwide basis the number of meteorological networks and stations measuring soil moisture, in particular on a continuous basis, is still limited and the data they provide lack standardization of technique and protocol. To overcome many of these limitations, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN; http://www.ipf.tuwien.ac.at/insitu) was initiated to serve as a centralized data hosting facility where globally available in situ soil moisture measurements from operational networks and validation campaigns are collected, harmonized, and made available to users. Data collecting networks share their soil moisture datasets with the ISMN on a voluntary and no-cost basis. Incoming soil moisture data are automatically transformed into common volumetric soil moisture units and checked for outliers and implausible values. Apart from soil water measurements from different depths, important metadata and meteorological variables (e.g., precipitation and soil temperature) are stored in the database. These will assist the user in correctly interpreting the soil moisture data. The database is queried through a graphical user interface while output of data selected for download is provided according to common standards for data and metadata. Currently (status May 2011), the ISMN contains data of 19 networks and more than 500 stations located in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The time period spanned by the entire database runs from 1952 until the present, although most datasets have originated during the last decade. The database is rapidly expanding, which means that both the number of stations and the time period covered by the existing stations are still growing. Hence, it will become an increasingly important resource for validating and improving satellite-derived soil moisture products and studying climate related trends. As the ISMN is animated by the scientific community itself, we invite potential networks to enrich the collection by sharing their in situ soil moisture data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of high temperature and oxidative stress on the cell viability of the yeast antagonist, Metschnikowia fructicola was determined. A mild heat shock (HS) pretreatment (30 min at 40 °C) improved the tolerance of M. fructicola to subsequent high temperature (45 °C, 20-30 min) and oxidative stress (0.4 mol L hydrogen peroxide, 20-60 min). HS-treated yeast cells showed less accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) than nontreated cells in response to both stresses. Additionally, HS-treated yeast exhibited significantly greater ( P<0.0001) biocontrol activity against Penicillium expansum and a significantly faster ( P<0.0001) growth rate in wounds of apple fruits stored at 25 °C compared with the performance of untreated yeast cells. Transcription of a trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene ( TPS1) was upregulated in response to HS and trehalose content also increased. Results indicate that the higher levels of trehalose induced by the HS may contribute to an improvement in ROS scavenging, stress tolerance, population growth in apple wounds and biocontrol activity of M. fructicola.

AB  - To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts. We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current and future decisions about management of species, communities, and ecological processes in the United States. The questions were generated by an open, inclusive process that included personal interviews with decisionmakers, broad solicitation of research needs from scientists and policymakers, and an intensive workshop that included scientifically oriented individuals responsible for managing and developing policy related to natural resources. The process differed from previous efforts to set priorities for conservation research in its focus on the engagement of decisionmakers in addition to researchers. The research priorities emphasized the importance of addressing societal context and exploration of trade-offs among alternative policies and actions, as well as more traditional questions related to ecological processes and functions.

AB  - The article presents the cost and risk assessments of installing cross-fencing in private rangelands in the U.S. According to the authors, the cross-fences can have direct and indirect ecological impacts which include wildlife mortality through collisions, fragmentation of habitats for area-sensitive birds, and predation facilitation. They add that installing cross-fencing can have short- and long-term costs for producers, particularly long-term overhead costs with or without Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQJP) payments.

AB  - Conservation of biodiversity on forest landscapes dominated by plantations has become an increasingly important topic, and opportunities to maintain or enhance biodiversity within these forests need to be recognized and applied. Riparian buffers of mature forest retained along streams in managed forest landscapes offer an opportunity to enhance biodiversity across these landscapes. However, influence of buffer width and structure of adjacent plantations on habitat use by birds is not well understood. We modeled probability of occupancy, while accounting for variable detection probabilities, for 16 bird species of regional conservation importance in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, USA. We examined occurrence of breeding birds in streamside management zone (SMZ) buffers embedded in three structural classes of pine plantation: young open-canopy, closed-canopy, and older thinned plantations. Our occupancy models included a positive association with SMZ width for nine bird species associated with mature forests. Models for three early successional species (prairie warbler [ Dendroica discolor], white-eyed vireo [ Vireo griseus], and northern bobwhite [ Colinus virginianus]) included a negative association with SMZ width. Occupancy models for Acadian flycatcher ( Empidonax virescens), summer tanager ( Piranga rubra), pine warbler ( Dendroica pinus), prairie warbler, and northern bobwhite also included structural condition of adjacent plantations, but most species did not appear affected by condition of surrounding plantations. We found diverse responses among species to width of retained SMZs and structure of adjacent plantations; some species apparently benefitted from SMZs >100 m wide, while others benefitted from narrow buffers. Furthermore, most species traditionally associated with mature forests were common in narrow SMZs, regardless of width. Thus, optimal width of SMZs relative to avian conservation depends on the species of greatest conservation interest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <title/> This paper describes methodologies that may be used to extend the intervals applied to the periodic leakage rate testing of certified type B transportation packagings that are loaded but not immediately shipped. In some cases, the packagings may be held in interim storage for more than 1 year, and the immediate goal is to extend the leakage rate testing interval from 1 up to as many as 5 years. The extended intervals are predicated on the basis of acceptable results of long term O ring performance tests and continuous monitoring of environmental conditions of the packagings provided by the ARG-US radio frequency identification (RFID) system. Preliminary results obtained from field testing and applications of the ARG-US RFID system to date indicated that the system is reliable and that the packaging ambient temperature can be monitored and recorded by the RFID tag sensors even when the packagings were away and outside the range of the RFID reader. Extending the intervals between the periodic leakage rate testing of the packagings enhances safety by reducing handling and radiation exposure to workers and cuts annual operating costs during the storage phase of such packagings by US$2500-3000 per package.

AB  - Salmonella enterica Typhimurium remains undigested in the food vacuoles of the common protist, Tetrahymena. Contrary to its interaction with Acanthamoeba spp., S. Typhimurium is not cytotoxic to Tetrahymena and is egested as viable cells in its fecal pellets. Through microarray gene expression profiling we investigated the factors in S. Typhimurium that are involved in its resistance to digestion by Tetrahymena. The transcriptome of S. Typhimurium in Tetrahymena phagosomes showed that 989 and 1282 genes were altered in expression compared with that in water and in LB culture medium, respectively. A great proportion of the upregulated genes have a role in anaerobic metabolism and the use of alternate electron acceptors. Many genes required for survival and replication within macrophages and human epithelial cells also had increased expression in Tetrahymena, including mgtC, one of the most highly induced genes in all three cells types. A ΔmgtC mutant of S. Typhimurium did not show decreased viability in Tetrahymena, but paradoxically, was egested at a higher cell density than the wild type. The expression of adiA and adiY, which are involved in arginine-dependent acid resistance, also was increased in the protozoan phagosome. A ΔadiAY mutant had lower viability after passage through Tetrahymena, and a higher proportion of S. Typhimurium wild-type cells within pellets remained viable after exposure to pH 3.4 as compared with uningested cells. Our results provide evidence that acid resistance has a role in the resistance of Salmonella to digestion by Tetrahymena and that passage through the protist confers physiological advantages relevant to its contamination cycle.

AB  - Despite considerable study, it remains uncertain what environmental factors contribute to red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) foliar winter injury and how much this injury influences tree C stores. We used a long-term record of winter injury in a plantation in New Hampshire and conducted stepwise linear regression analyses with local weather and regional pollution data to determine which parameters helped account for observed injury. Two types of weather phenomena were consistently associated with elevated injury: (i) measures of low-temperature stress that incite injury and (ii) factors that reduced the length of the growing season and predisposed trees to injury. At this plantation, there was a significant linear relationship between winter injury and growth reductions for 2 years after a severe winter injury event. Analysis using data from three New England states indicated that plantation data reflected a regional response. Using regional data, we estimated a reduction of 394 000 metric tons of C sequestered in living red spruce stems ≥20 cm in diameter growing in New York and northern New England during the 2 years following a severe winter injury event. This is a conservative estimate of reduced C sequestration because injury-induced mortality and other factors were not evaluated. Malgré le nombre considérable d'études, on ne sait toujours pas avec certitude quels facteurs environnementaux contribuent aux dommages foliaires qui surviennent durant l'hiver chez l'épinette rouge (Picea rubens Sarg.), ni à quel point ces dommages influencent les réservoirs de C dans l'arbre. Nous avons utilisé des relevés à long terme des dommages qui sont survenus durant l'hiver dans une plantation du New Hampshire et nous avons effectué des analyses de régression linéaire pas à pas avec les données météorologiques locales et les données régionales de pollution pour déterminer quels paramètres permettaient d'expliquer les dommages observés. Deux types de phénomène météorologique étaient invariablement associés à des dommages sévères : (i) des mesures de stress dûà de basses températures et (ii) des facteurs qui réduisent la durée de la saison de croissance et prédisposent les arbres aux dommages. Dans cette plantation, il y avait une relation linéaire significative entre les dommages survenus pendant l'hiver et les réductions de croissance pendant les deux années suivant un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. L'analyse des données provenant de trois tats de la Nouvelle-Angleterre indiquent que les données de la plantation reflètent une réponse régionale. À l'aide de données régionales, nous avons estimé que la séquestration de C dans les tiges d'épinette rouge ≥20 cm de diamètre était réduite de 394 000 tonnes métriques dans l'État de New York et le nord de la Nouvelle-Angleterre au cours des années qui ont suivi un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. Il s'agit d'une estimation conservatrice de la réduction de la séquestration de C parce que la mortalité causée par les dommages dus au froid et les autres facteurs n'a pas été évaluée.

AB  - Transfer of technologies produced by research is critical to innovation within all organizations. The intent of this paper is to take stock of the conceptual underpinnings of technology transfer processes as they relate to wood utilization research and to identify conditions that promote the successful transfer of research results. Conceptually, research utilization can be viewed from multiple perspectives, including the haphazard diffusion of knowledge in response to vague and imprecise demands for information, scanning of multiple information sources by individuals and organizations searching for useful scientific knowledge, engagement of third parties to organize research results and communicate them to potential users, and ongoing and active collaboration between researchers and potential users of research. Empirical evidence suggests that various types of programs can promote technology transfer (venture capital, angel investors, business incubators, extension services, tax incentives, and in-house entities), the fundamental effectiveness of which depends on research results that are scientifically valid and consistent with the information needs of potential users. Furthermore, evidence suggests preference toward programs that are appropriately organized and governed, suitably led and creatively administered, and periodically evaluated in accordance with clear standards of success.

AB  - Objective: To test the hypotheses that interventions clearly based on theory, multiple theories, or a formal intervention planning process will be more effective in changing fruit and vegetable consumption among children than interventions with no behavioral theoretical foundation. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Identification of articles in PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cochrane Collaborative database, and existing literature reviews and meta-analyses. Participants: Children aged 2–18 years. Interventions: Change in fruit and/or vegetable consumption in dietary change interventions. Methods: Meta-analysis, meta-regression analysis, and summary reporting for articles. Conclusions and Implications: Predicating an intervention on behavioral theory had a small to moderate enhancement (P < .001) of outcome effectiveness. Differences in mean Hedges' g effect sizes between theory and non-theory interventions were 0.232 for fruit, 0.043 for vegetables, and 0.333 for fruit and vegetables combined. There was mixed support, however, for enhanced dietary change with multiple theories or a formal planning process. After controlling for study quality, theory use was related only to vegetable consumption (β = 0.373; P < .001). More research is needed on theory's influences on dietary behaviors to guide future interventions among children. More research is also needed to identify what may be effective practical- or experience-based procedures that complement theory, to incorporate into interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We investigated a trichinellosis outbreak associated with wild boar consumption. The index patient sought healthcare multiple times before being diagnosed. Targeted education of hunters and consumers handling wild game or free-range pork, owners of game farms, and clinicians is warranted.Background. Rates of trichinellosis have declined significantly in the United States due to improved pork production practices and public awareness of the danger of eating raw or undercooked pork. In April 2011, the Minnesota Department of Health received a report of presumptive trichinellosis in a 50-year-old man with a history of wild boar consumption. A public health investigation was initiated.Methods. Medical record reviews and patient and family interviews were conducted. Trichinella species serology was performed on patient and family serum samples, and larval identification was attempted on clinical specimens and meat samples.Results. The index patient harvested a wild boar from an Iowa game farm; he processed the meat after returning home and developed gastrointestinal symptoms 2 days later. Four days after his illness onset, all 5 family members consumed a roast from the boar. The index patient sought healthcare 4 times after illness onset before being definitively diagnosed with trichinellosis. Following initiation of albendazole therapy, the index patient developed atrial fibrillation. One additional family member who processed the raw meat was diagnosed with trichinellosis. Trichinella spiralis larvae were identified in wild boar meat samples.Conclusions. Trichinellosis has long been recognized as a potential hazard of consuming undercooked wild carnivore meat, and historically has been associated with consumption of pork from domestic swine, but may be unfamiliar to practicing clinicians in the United States. Education of hunters and the broader population on the potential for trichinellosis and the importance of proper handling and cooking meat from wild or free-range animals needs to be reinforced.

Clinicians evaluating travelers returning ill from Malaysia with myalgia, with or without fever, should consider AMS in their differential diagnosis.Background. Through 2 international traveler-focused surveillance networks (GeoSentinel and TropNet), we identified and investigated a large outbreak of acute muscular sarcocystosis (AMS), a rarely reported zoonosis caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Sarcocystis, associated with travel to Tioman Island, Malaysia, during 2011–2012.Methods. Clinicians reporting patients with suspected AMS to GeoSentinel submitted demographic, clinical, itinerary, and exposure data. We defined a probable case as travel to Tioman Island after 1 March 2011, eosinophilia (>5%), clinical or laboratory-supported myositis, and negative trichinellosis serology. Case confirmation required histologic observation of sarcocysts or isolation of Sarcocystis species DNA from muscle biopsy.Results. Sixty-eight patients met the case definition (62 probable and 6 confirmed). All but 2 resided in Europe; all were tourists and traveled mostly during the summer months. The most frequent symptoms reported were myalgia (100%), fatigue (91%), fever (82%), headache (59%), and arthralgia (29%); onset clustered during 2 distinct periods: “early” during the second and “late” during the sixth week after departure from the island. Blood eosinophilia and elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels were observed beginning during the fifth week after departure. Sarcocystis nesbitti DNA was recovered from 1 muscle biopsy.Conclusions. Clinicians evaluating travelers returning ill from Malaysia with myalgia, with or without fever, should consider AMS, noting the apparent biphasic aspect of the disease, the later onset of elevated CPK and eosinophilia, and the possibility for relapses. The exact source of infection among travelers to Tioman Island remains unclear but needs to be determined to prevent future illnesses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper summarizes the results of an update to a resource assessment, published in 2005, commonly referred to as the Billion-Ton Study (BTS). The updated results are consistent with the 2005 BTS in terms of overall magnitude. The 2005 BTS projected between 860 and 1240 Tg of biomass available in the 2050 timeframe, while the Billion-Ton Update (BT2), for a price of 66 $ Mg −1 , projected between 994 and 1483 Tg in 2030. For the BT2, forest residue biomass potential was determined to be less owing to tighter restrictions on forest residue supply including restrictions due to limited projected increase in traditional harvest for pulpwood and sawlogs. Crop residue potential was also determined to be less because of the consideration of soil carbon and not allowing residue removal from conventionally tilled corn acres. Energy crop potential was estimated to be much greater largely because of land availability and modeling of competition among various competing uses of the land. Generally, the scenario assumptions in the updated assessment are much more plausible to show a “billion-ton” resource, which would be sufficient to displace 30% or more of the country's present petroleum consumption and provide more than enough biomass to meet the 2022 requirements of the Renewable Fuel Standard.

AB  - Micropropagation of hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L.) is typically difficult because of the wide variation in response among cultivars. This study was designed to determine the required mineral nutrient concentrations for micropropagation of C. avellana cultivars using a response surface design analysis. Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) medium mineral nutrients were separated into five factors: NHNO, Ca(NO), mesos (MgSO and KHPO), KSO, and minor nutrients (boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc) ranging from 0.5× to 2× the standard DKW medium concentrations with 33 treatments for use in modeling. Overall quality and shoot length for all cultivars were influenced by ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, mesos and minors. Reduced Ca(NO) improved multiplication while higher amounts increased shoot length for most cultivars. Uptake of nutrients varied among the cultivars. Calcium and magnesium concentrations were greater in the shoots that grew well compared to poorly-growing and control treatments. All five cultivars showed improved growth on some treatments and the models indicated that shoots grown on an optimized medium would be even better. This model indicates that NHNO, Ca(NO), mesos, and minors all had significant effects on hazelnut growth and multiplication and should be optimized in future experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L.) cultivars fail to thrive in vitro on standard growth medium and the reasons for poor growth are not well understood. Our initial study of five C. avellana cultivars showed that changes in the mineral nutrients of Driver and Kuniyuki walnut (DKW) medium, including doubling the minor nutrients, produced improved growth and shoot quality. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of the individual minor mineral nutrients from DKW medium and if added nickel was required for optimal growth. Five factors were tested at 0.5 × to 4× DKW medium concentrations, [HBO, CuSO·5HO, MnSO·HO, NaMoO·2HO and Zn(NO)·6H0], in a response surface design with 39 treatment combinations. Ni was not present in the DKW medium formulation so NiSO·6HO was varied from 0 to 6 µM. There were many significant interactions among the minor nutrients. Higher concentrations (4×) of B, Mo, and Zn increased overall shoot quality, length, and multiplication. Increased Mo improved some responses for each cultivar, and it interacted significantly with Cu and Zn. The addition of Ni greatly improved the shoot quality and length of 'Sacajawea.' Ni interactions were significant for the other cultivars as well, and altered the requirements for the other minor nutrients, but did not necessarily improve the overall shoot response. Improved growth and shoot quality for most cultivars required increased amounts of B, Mo, and Zn and less Mn and Cu. 'Sacajawea' required increased B, Cu, Zn, and Ni. All of the cultivars required minor nutrient formulations that differed greatly from DKW medium or other published minor nutrient formulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on the international effort in the development of the Very High Temperature Reactor system pursued through international collaboration in the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) and an outlook for further activities. The initial motivations to develop this reactor type are recalled, a historical overview is given about technology developments and test reactors since 1945 and several of the targeted non-electric applications of VHTR power are addressed. Cooperation in the frame of GIF is clearly beneficial for all project partners. Initially, a wealth of historical experience was collected and shared in the form of documents, dedicated workshops or fuel and material samples. This exchange included properties data, fabrication, irradiation and post-irradiation testing methods, quality assurance, design and analysis tools and methods, as well as the experience in building and operating related equipment. In the further course of the project execution, time, effort and scarce facilities (such as irradiation space or hot cell equipment) are shared, they accelerate progress and create synergies. Recent highlights from currently active GIF VHTR R&D projects (Materials, Fuel and Fuel Cycle, Hydrogen Production) are then provided and placed into the context of the GIF VHTR signatories' national programs. The majority of these currently focus on licensing requirements for demonstrators of near term process steam production scenarios while more aggressive, longer term and higher temperature applications are mainly pursued to enable thermochemical production of bulk hydrogen. Based on the VHTR's high technology readiness level, orientations for future R&D are outlined which would contribute to enhancing the system's market readiness level. These include work on System Integration and Assessment, Safety Analysis and Demonstration, Waste Minimization and Cost Reductions. The inherent safety characteristics of the VHTR are a precious asset for it to become a strong response to today's concerns of nuclear safety, energy security and climate change.

AB  - The Generation IV International Forum has marked significant progress in developing a next generation of reactor technologies that break out of the limitations of currently deployed nuclear energy systems. In slightly more than 10 years, the Forum down selected to the six most promising systems, forged a powerful framework for multilateral cooperation, organized itself into the necessary functional groups, created four overarching research objectives, established a dozen international projects, and completed hundreds of milestones. The Forum has focused research on viability and performance issues. A revised technology development roadmap completed in 2013 lays out the research agenda for the next decade. This paper summarizes the overall accomplishments of the Forum and the development status of the six advanced reactor systems. Accompanying papers describe the related research and development activities for each system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sunlight exposure has been shown to alter DNA methylation patterns across several human cell-types, including T-lymphocytes. Since epigenetic changes establish gene expression profiles, changes in DNA methylation induced by sunlight exposure warrant investigation. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of sunlight exposure on CD4+ T-cell methylation patterns on an epigenome-wide scale in a North American population of European origin ( n = 991). In addition, we investigated the genetic contribution to epigenetic variation (methylQTL). We used linear regression to test the associations between methylation scores at 461 281 cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and sunlight exposure, followed by a genome-wide association analysis (methylQTL) to test for associations between methylation at the top CpG locus and common genetic variants, assuming an additive genetic model. We observed an epigenome-wide significant association between sunlight exposure and methylation status at cg26930596 ( p = 9.2 × 10−8), a CpG site located in protein kinase C zeta ( PRKCZ), a gene previously shown to be entrained by light. MethylQTL analysis resulted in significant associations between cg26930596 and two intergenic single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 3, rs4574216 ( p = 1.5 × 10−10) and rs4405858 ( p = 1.9 × 10−9). These common genetic variants reside downstream of WWTR1, a transcriptional co-activator of PRKCZ. Associations observed in the North American population, however, did not replicate in an independent Mediterranean cohort. Our preliminary results support the role of sunlight exposure in epigenetic processes, and lay the groundwork for future studies of the molecular link between sunlight and physiologic processes such as tumorigenesis and metabolism.

AB  - Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, is one of the most destructive diseases affecting Rutaceae plants in many parts of the world. HLB is associated with three species of ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter’ with ‘ Ca. L. asiaticus’ (Las), being the most widely distributed bacterium in Thailand and Asia. The effectiveness of chemical treatment via trunk injection was evaluated in Las-infected pomelo ( Citrus maxima ) trees using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Our results demonstrated that a mixture of streptomycin (250 mg/L), ampicillin (2.5 g/L), penicillin G (2 g/L), and Bacicure ® (2 g/L) provided the highest efficiency in reducing and suppressing the Las-bacterium population indicated by the mean cycle threshold (Ct) values from 20.8 (≈7.2 × 10 7 cells/g of plant tissue) to 36.6 (≈2140 cells/g of plant tissue) in greenhouse experiments, and from 19.4 (≈1.8 × 10 8 cells/g of plant tissue) to 37.8 (≈969 cells/g of plant tissue) in the field experiments. In addition, our strategies remained therapeutically effective for one year. Finally, response of Las-infected pomelo to chemical treatment was elucidated using transmission electron microscopy.

AB  - The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a popular unicellular organism for studying photosynthesis, cilia biogenesis, and micronutrient homeostasis. Ten years since its genome project was initiated an iterative process of improvements to the genome and gene predictions has propelled this organism to the forefront of the omics era. Housed at Phytozome, the plant genomics portal of the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the most up-to-date genomic data include a genome arranged on chromosomes and high-quality gene models with alternative splice forms supported by an abundance of whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) data. We present here the past, present, and future of Chlamydomonas genomics. Specifically, we detail progress on genome assembly and gene model refinement, discuss resources for gene annotations, functional predictions, and locus ID mapping between versions and, importantly, outline a standardized framework for naming genes.

AB  - Two analytical formulations that describe the fluid interactions of slag with the porous refractory linings of gasification reactors have been derived. The first formulation considers the infiltration velocity of molten slag into the porous microstructure of the refractory material that possesses an inherent temperature gradient in the direction of infiltration. Capillary pressures are assumed to be the primary driving force for the infiltration. Considering that the geometry of the pores provides a substantially shorter length scale in the radial direction as compared with the penetration direction, a lubrication approximation was employed to simplify the equation of motion. The assumption of a fully developed flow in the pores is justified based on the extremely small Reynolds numbers of the infiltration slag flow. The second formulation describes the thickness of the slag film that flows down the perimeter of the refractory lining. The thickness of the film was approximated by equating the volumetric slag production rate of the gasification reactor to the integration of the velocity profile with respect to the lateral flow cross-sectional area of the film. These two models demonstrate that both the infiltration velocity into the refractory and the thickness of the film that forms at the refractory suiface were sensitive to the viscosity of the fluid slag. The slag thickness model has been applied to predict film thicknesses in a generic slagging gasifier with assumed axial temperature distributions, using slag viscosity from the literature, both for the case of a constant slag volumetric flow rate down the gasifier wall, and for the case of a constant flyash flux distributed uniformly over the entire gasifier wall.

AB  - Proper nitrogen (N) fertilizer management of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is of major importance in south-coastal British Columbia, but little information is available. A field study was conducted to examine the effects of N rate and method of application on growth, yield, and fruit quality in highbush blueberry during the first 4 yr after planting in south-coastal BC. Nitrogen was applied at 0-150% of current production guide rates either with three equal applications of broadcast granular ammonium sulphate each spring or by fertigation through the drip irrigation system with 10 equal applications of liquid ammonium sulphate injected every 2 wk from early spring to late summer each year. Yield increased with increasing N rate during the second and third years of fruit production. The yield response as well as flower number and plant size were greater with fertigation than with broadcast fertilizers. Fruit firmness also increased consistently with increased N rates, while fruit size either increased or decreased, depending on year. There were no effects of N on fruit oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), titratable acidity, or soluble solids. However, the composition of fruit anthocyanins changed, with concentrations of seven anthocyanins decreasing, and three others increasing, with N rate. In 2 of 3 yr, total anthocyanin concentration was greater in fertigated than in broadcast treatments. Soil ammonium and nitrate concentrations increased with N rate, but only soil nitrate differed between the two application methods. Soil nitrate was higher with fertigation than with granular fertilizers, particularly at the end of the season and when greater rates of N were applied. In summary, fertigation produced more shoot growth and greater yields with less N than broadcast applications of fertilizer. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Une gestion appropriée des engrais azotés (N) dans les cultures de bleuet en corymbe (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) revêt une importance capitale dans le sud de la région côtière de la Colombie-Britannique, mais il existe peu de documentation sur le sujet. Les auteurs ont réalisé une étude sur le terrain pour vérifier les conséquences du taux et de la méthode d'application des engrais N sur la croissance, le rendement et la qualité des fruits du bleuet en corymbe, les quatre années suivant l'établissement de la culture dans le sud de la région côtière, en Colombie-Britannique. Les engrais ont été appliqués à raison de 0 à 150 % des recommandations actuelles, soit en trois applications égales, à la volée, de sulfate d'ammonium granulaire au printemps, soit en dix applications égales de sulfate d'ammonium liquide, injecté au sol par irrigation fertilisante avec un système d'irrigation par goutte à goutte, toutes les deux semaines, du début du printemps à la fin de l'été, chaque année. Le rendement a augmenté avec le taux d'application des engrais N la deuxième et la troisième année de production fruitière. Le rendement ainsi que le nombre de fleurs et la taille des plants ont mieux réagi à l'irrigation fertilisante qu'à l'épandage à la volée. La fermeté des fruits s'accroît de façon soutenue avec le taux d'application des engrais N, tandis que le calibre des baies augmente ou diminue selon l'année. Les engrais N n'exercent aucune influence sur la capacité d'absorption des radicaux oxygénés du fruit, ni sur son acidité totale ou sa concentration de solides hydrosolubles. Cependant, on observe une modification de la composition des anthocyanines, la concentration de sept d'entre elles diminuant et celle de trois autres augmentant parallèlement à la quantité d'engrais appliquée. Deux années sur trois, la concentration totale d'anthocyanines a été plus élevée dans les cultures fertilisées par irrigation que dans celles bonifiées par épandage à la volée. La concentration d'ammonium et de nitrate dans le sol augmente avec le taux d'application des engrais N, mais seule la concentration de nitrate varie avec la méthode d'application. Ainsi, elle était plus élevée avec l'irrigation fertilisante qu'avec les engrais granulaires, surtout à la fin de la saison, quand une plus grande quantité d'engrais a été appliquée. En somme, l'irrigation fertilisante engendre une meilleure croissance des pousses et un rendement supérieur avec moins d'engrais N que l'épandage à la volée. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Changes in the properties of an ash layer with time may affect the amount of post-fire runoff, particularly by the formation of ash surface crusts. The formation of depositional crusts by ash have been observed at the pore and plot scales, but the causes and temporal evolution of ash layers and associated crusts have not yet been thoroughly investigated. In the long term, ash crusting effects will decrease as the ash layer is removed by wind and water erosion, but in the short term ash crusting could contribute to the observed changes in post-fire runoff. This research addresses these topics by studying the evolution over time of highly combusted ash layers from two high-severity wildfires that occurred in Montana in 2011. More specifically, this research was designed to assess the potential for ash crusts to form and thereby contribute to the observed decreases in infiltration after forest fires. Results indicate that high-combustion ash can evolve due to post-fire rainfall. Plots that exhibited a visible ash crust also displayed a significant decrease in effective porosity and hydraulic conductivity. These decreases in ash layer characteristics were attributed to raindrop compaction and ash hydration resulting in the formation of carbonate crystals, which decreased effective porosity and flow within the ash layer. During this same time period, inorganic carbon content more than doubled from 11 to 26% and bulk density significantly increased from 0.22 to 0.39 g cm[sup -3] on crusted plots. Although raindrop impact increased the robustness of the ash crust, mineralogical transformations must occur to produce a hydrologically relevant ash crust. These results indicate that post-fire rainfall is an important control on the properties of the ash layer after burning and on crust formation. The observed temporal changes indicate that the timing of ash sampling can alter the predictions as to whether the ash layer is effecting post-fire infiltration and runoff. Despite the reduction in infiltration capacity, the formation of post-fire ash crusts could prove beneficial to post-fire hazard mitigation by stabilising the ash layer, and reducing aeolian mixing and erosion. Ash crust formation can occur following severe wildfire events. Initial ash composition and a hydrating rainfall event are necessary precursors for crust formation. An ash crust can decrease ash hydraulic conductivity by 1 order of magnitude as well as significantly decrease ash layer porosity and increase bulk density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Studies were conducted to evaluate treatments that reduce recovery of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) in infected grapefruit leaves. To investigate effects of temperature (0, 10, 40, and 50 °C), disinfectant (none or Pro-San), and treatment duration (0, 2, 10, and 20 min) on survival of Xcc in vitro, a split–split plot experimental design was utilized. Recovery of Xcc in vitro in the absence of Pro-San decreased with increasing treatment duration at 50 °C but not at temperatures <50 °C. Xcc in vitro was not detected after any treatment combination involving Pro-San. Decontamination of grapefruit leaves infected with Xcc in relation to disinfectant (none or Pro-San), temperature (0, 10, 40, 45, and 50 °C), treatment duration (0, 2, 5, 10, and 20 min), and assessment time (0, 2, 7, and 14 days post treatment [dpt]) was examined using a split–split–split plot design. Reductions in Xcc recovery generally increased with increasing treatment duration and temperature, and they were greater for treatments involving Pro-San. To examine the general trend of increased Xcc recovery with increasing dpt, nonlinear mixed regression analysis was used to fit a monomolecular model to relative Xcc recovery data. Results indicated that increases in relative Xcc recovery after 14 dpt were insignificant and unsubstantial. Treatment at 45 °C for 20 min or 50 °C for ≥5 min resulted in leaf tissue damage in some instances; in two cases, tissue damage was observed on untreated leaves 14 dpt. Experiments were conducted to investigate the relationships of tissue damage with leaf age and location of tissue damage in relation to point of inoculation. Tissue damage was observed on only the youngest, most supple leaves, and its localization did not appear to be related to naturally occurring citrus canker lesions or artificial inoculation sites. Results from these studies may be useful in formulation of future regulatory policies regarding trade of citrus foliage, especially those used as condiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cultivated citrus are selections from, or hybrids of, wild progenitor species whose identities and contributions to citrus domestication remain controversial. Here we sequence and compare citrus genomes-a high-quality reference haploid clementine genome and mandarin, pummelo, sweet-orange and sour-orange genomes-and show that cultivated types derive from two progenitor species. Although cultivated pummelos represent selections from one progenitor species, Citrus maxima, cultivated mandarins are introgressions of C. maxima into the ancestral mandarin species Citrus reticulata. The most widely cultivated citrus, sweet orange, is the offspring of previously admixed individuals, but sour orange is an F1 hybrid of pure C. maxima and C. reticulata parents, thus implying that wild mandarins were part of the early breeding germplasm. A Chinese wild 'mandarin' diverges substantially from C. reticulata, thus suggesting the possibility of other unrecognized wild citrus species. Understanding citrus phylogeny through genome analysis clarifies taxonomic relationships and facilitates sequence-directed genetic improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A principal challenge of federal forest management has been maintaining and improving habitat for sensitive species in forests adapted to frequent, low- to moderate-intensity fire regimes that have become increasingly vulnerable to uncharacteristically severe wildfires. To enhance forest resilience, a coordinated landscape fuel network was installed in the northern Sierra Nevada, which reduced the potential for hazardous fire, despite constraints for wildlife protection that limited the extent and intensity of treatments. Small mammal and songbird communities were largely unaffected by this landscape strategy, but the number of California spotted owl territories declined. The effects on owls could have been mitigated by increasing the spatial heterogeneity of fuel treatments and by using more prescribed fire or managed wildfire to better mimic historic vegetation patterns and processes. More landscape-scale experimentation with strategies that conserve key wildlife species while also improving forest resiliency is needed, especially in response to continued warming climates.

AB  - The midnight audit provides valuable insight toward identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption—insight that can be easily overlooked during the normal (daytime) energy auditing process. The purpose of the midnight audit is to observe after-hour operation with the mindset of seeking ways to further minimize energy consumption during the unoccupied mode and minimize energy waste by reducing unnecessary operation. The midnight audit should be used to verify that equipment is off when it is supposed to be, or operating in set-back mode when applicable. Even a facility that operates 2 shifts per day, 5 days per week experiences fewer annual hours in occupied mode than it does during unoccupied mode. Minimizing energy loads during unoccupied hours can save significant energy, which is why the midnight audit is anidea that works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Epidemiological studies indicate that the consumption of green tea polyphenols (GTP) may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease. To explore the underlying mechanisms of action at the molecular level, we examined the effects of GTP on the cardiac mRNA and protein levels of genes involved in insulin and lipid metabolism and inflammation. In rats fed a high-fructose diet, supplementation with GTP (200 mg/kg BW daily dissolved in distilled water) for 6 wk, reduced systemic blood glucose, plasma insulin, retinol-binding protein 4, soluble CD36, cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and LDL-C levels, as well as the pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6. GTP did not affect food intake, bodyweight and heart weight. In the myocardium, GTP also increased the insulin receptor (Ir), insulin receptor substrate 1 and 2 (Irs1 and Irs2), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (Pi3k), v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (Akt1), glucose transporter 1 and 4 (Glut1 and Glut4) and glycogen synthase 1 (Gys1) expression but inhibited phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (Pten) expression and decreased glycogen synthase kinase 3β (Gsk3β) mRNA expression. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (Srebp1c) mRNA, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (Mttp) mRNA and protein, Cd36 mRNA and cluster of differentiation 36 protein levels were decreased and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (Ppar)γ mRNA levels were increased. GTP also decreased the inflammatory factors: Tnf, Il1b and Il6 mRNA levels, and enhanced the anti-inflammatory protein, zinc-finger protein, protein and mRNA expression. In summary, consumption of GTP ameliorated the detrimental effects of high-fructose diet on insulin signaling, lipid metabolism and inflammation in the cardiac muscle of rats.

N2  - The complex challenges of ensuring food safety and quality that producers and processors of fresh produce face require them to seek creative applications of conventional treatments and innovative approaches to develop entirely novel treatments. The variable nature of fresh and fresh-cut produce necessitates developing treatments that are adapted and optimized for each kind of commodity, ranging from leafy greens to whole fruits to processed products. This chapter will examine the state of development and commercialization of a range of novel technologies. These will include advanced aqueous-phase and gas-phase chemical treatments, precision thermal treatments, cold plasma systems, and biological control treatments. The chapter will conclude with a summary of current trends and future prospects for how the industry is working to meet goals for produce safety, quality and integrity for consumers.

N2  - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin found in cereal grains and cereal-based foods. DON concentrations in finished products are reduced under some processing conditions, but not others. DON concentrations in flour, wheat and selected foods made from them under commercially relevant conditions were compared by GC with electron capture detection. Average concentrations (n=9/item) in cookies, crackers and pretzels ranged from 61% (cookies) to 111% (pretzels) compared with flour (100%=0.46 µg g-1). Lesser amounts were found in donuts and bread: their respective DON concentrations were 44% and 30% that of flour. Mass balance estimates for DON (µg g-1 flour equivalents) ranged from 50% (bread=0.23 µg g-1 flour equivalents) to 120% (donuts), indicating that dilution by recipe ingredients contributed to DON reductions in bread and accounted for all of the apparent reduction in donuts. Mass balance estimates averaged 76% (crackers) to 107% (pretzels) for the other flour products. DON concentrations were higher in cereal flakes (0.55 µg g-1 in the finished product and 0.58 µg g-1 on a mass balance basis) than in wheat (0.40 µg g-1), suggesting that DON concentrations might increase during processing of wheat cereals under some conditions. In summary, DON concentrations of finished food products were reduced ≥50% only in bread and donuts. Reduction in bread resulted from a combination of DON 'loss' and dilution by recipe ingredients whereas the reduction in donuts was due entirely to dilution. These results are further evidence of DON stability during the preparation of popular flour or wheat-based products.

N2  - Background: Observational studies have linked higher intakes of whole grains to lower abdominal adiposity; however, the association between whole- and refined-grain intake and body fat compartments has yet to be reported. Objective: Different aspects of diet may be differentially related to body fat distribution. The purpose of this study was to assess associations between whole- and refined-grain intake and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Design: Cross-sectional associations between whole- and refined-grain intakes, waist circumference measures, and abdominal SAT and VAT volumes were examined in 2834 Framingham Heart Study participants (49.4% women; age range: 32-83 y). Dietary information was assessed with the use of a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. Results: Whole-grain intake was inversely associated with SAT (2895 compared with 2552 cm3 in the lowest compared with the highest quintile category, P for trend &lt;0.001) and VAT (1883 compared with 1563 cm3, P for trend &lt;0.001), after adjustment for age, sex, current smoking status, total energy, and alcohol intake. In contrast, refined-grain intake was positively associated with SAT (2748 compared with 2934 cm3, P for trend=0.01) and VAT (1727 compared with 1928 cm3, P for trend &lt;0.001) in multivariable models. When SAT and VAT were evaluated jointly, the P value for SAT was attenuated (P=0.28 for whole grains, P=0.60 for refined grains), whereas VAT remained associated with both whole grains (P&lt;0.001) and refined grains (P&lt;0.001). Conclusions: Increasing whole-grain intake is associated with lower VAT in adults, whereas higher intakes of refined grains are associated with higher VAT. Further research is required to elicit the potential mechanisms whereby whole- and refined-grain foods may influence body fat distribution.

N2  - Cinnamon extracts (CE) are reported to have beneficial effects on people with normal and impaired glucose tolerance, the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. However, clinical results are controversial. Molecular characterization of CE effects is limited. This study investigated the effects of CE on gene expression in cultured mouse adipocytes. Water-soluble CE was prepared from ground cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to investigate CE effects on the expression of genes coding for adipokines, glucose transporter (GLUT) family, and insulin-signaling components in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. CE (100 µg/ml) increased GLUT1 mRNA levels 1.91±0.15, 4.39±0.78, and 6.98±2.18-fold of the control after 2-, 4-, and 16-h treatments, respectively. CE decreased the expression of further genes encoding insulin-signaling pathway proteins including GSK3B, IGF1R, IGF2R, and PIK3R1. This study indicates that CE regulates the expression of multiple genes in adipocytes and this regulation could contribute to the potential health benefits of CE.

N2  - A mother's decision to breastfeed and the duration of breastfeeding depends on different factors; among them are the support of her husband or male partner and other social support. There have been different types of support programs for mothers and few have targeted fathers. In 2002, the Texas Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children introduced an innovative approach for encouraging breastfeeding among mothers and their spouses. The pilot Peer Dad Program targeted fathers to promote and support their spouse in breastfeeding. This cohort study evaluated duration of breastfeeding among Hispanic couples who enrolled in the pilot Peer Dad Program (n=101) and those who did not enroll (n=99). Structured interviews were conducted with Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children participants and their male partners. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate the likelihood of continuing breastfeeding past 6 months associated with participation in the Peer Dad Program and significant predictors. Mothers whose partner participated in the pilot Peer Dad Program were no more likely to continue breastfeeding past 6 months (odds ratio 1.44, 95% confidence interval 0.82 to 2.54) compared with mothers who received peer counseling only. The percentage of women in the intervention group (63.4%) who breastfed for 6 months or longer compared with women in the control group (54.6%) was not significant (P=0.20). Although other studies suggest that father's support lengthens breastfeeding duration, our study, which targeted Hispanic fathers, found no association due to its small sample size. Further research with larger studies is needed to establish this association.

N2  - Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen, and foods of bovine origin and fresh produce have been linked to outbreaks. Real-time multiplex PCR assays were developed to detect E. coli O157:H7 in different foods. Apple cider and raw milk (25 ml) and ground beef and lettuce (25 g) were inoculated with 2 or 20 colony-forming units (CFU) of E. coli O157:H7 380-94 and subjected to enrichment in RapidChek E. coli O157:H7 broth at 42°C. One milliliter of the enrichments was removed at 8 and 20 h, and following DNA extraction, real-time multiplex PCR assays targeting the stx1, stx2, and wzyO157 genes in combination with probes and primers targeting either the fliCh7 or the eae genes were performed using OmniMix HS beads and the SmartCycler. The sensitivity of the real-time multiplex PCR assay was about 225 CFU/PCR. E. coli O157:H7 was detected (fluorescent signal generated for all gene targets) in apple cider, raw milk, lettuce and ground beef samples inoculated with 2 or 20 CFU/g or 25 ml after both 8 and 20 h of enrichment. Enrichments of uninoculated food samples were negative using the multiplex PCR targeting the stx1, stx2, wzyO157, and eae genes; however, using the assay targeting the stx1, stx2, wzyO157, and fliCh7 gene combination, a positive result was always obtained for the fliCh7 gene using uninoculated ground beef enrichments. Use of other primer sets targeting the fliCh7 gene gave similar results. The real-time multiplex PCR assays targeting the stx1, stx2, eae, and wzyO157 or the fliCh7 genes are sensitive and specific and can be used for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food, except that the fliCh7 gene may not be a suitable target for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef.

N2  - A higher monitoring rate is highly desirable in the labs, but this goal is typically limited by sample throughput. In this study, we sought to assess the real-world applicability of fast, low-pressure GC-time-of-flight MS (LP-GC/TOFMS) for the identification and quantification of 150 pesticides in tomato, strawberry, potato, orange, and lettuce samples. Buffered and unbuffered versions of QuEChERS (which stands for "quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe") using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and disposable pipette extraction (DPX) for clean-up were compared for sample preparation. For clean-up of all sample types, a combination of 150 mg MgSO4, 50 mg primary secondary amine (PSA), 50 mg C18, and 7.5 mg graphitized carbon black (GCB) per mL extract was used. No significant differences were observed in the results between the different sample preparation versions. QuEChERS took &lt;10 min per individual sample, or &lt;1 h for two chemists to prepare 32 pre-homogenized samples, and using LP-GC/TOFMS, &lt;10 min run time and &lt;15 min cycle time allowed &gt;32 injections in 8 h. Overall, &gt;126 analytes gave recoveries (3 spiking levels) in the range of 70-120% with &lt;20% RSD. The results indicate that LP-GC/TOFMS for GC-amenable analytes matches UHPLC-MS/MS in terms of sample throughput and turnaround time for their routine, concurrent use in the analysis of a wide range of analytes in QuEChERS extracts to achieve reliable quantification and identification of pesticide residues in foods.

N2  - Cholesterol status and dietary fat alter several metabolic pathways reflected in lipoprotein profiles. To assess plasma lipoprotein response and mechanisms by which cholesterol and dietary fat type regulate expression of genes involved in lipoprotein metabolism, we developed an experimental model system using F1B hamsters fed diets (12 weeks) enriched in 10% (wt/wt) coconut, olive, or safflower oil with either high cholesterol (0.1%; cholesterol supplemented) or low cholesterol coupled with cholesterol-lowering drugs 10 days before killing (0.01% cholesterol, 0.15% lovastatin, 2% cholestyramine; cholesterol depleted). Irrespective of dietary fat, cholesterol depletion, relative to supplementation, resulted in lower plasma non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) and HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations (all Ps&lt;.05). In the liver, these differences were associated with higher sterol regulatory element binding protein-2, low-density lipoprotein receptor, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, and 7α-hydroxylase messenger RNA (mRNA) levels; higher scavenger receptor B1 and apolipoprotein A-I mRNA and protein levels; lower apolipoprotein E protein levels; and in intestine, modestly lower sterol transporters adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) A1, ABCG5, and ABCG8 mRNA levels. Irrespective of cholesterol status, coconut oil, relative to olive and safflower oils, resulted in higher non-HDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations (both Ps&lt;.05) and modestly higher sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 mRNA levels. These data suggest that, in F1B hamsters, differences in plasma lipoprotein profiles in response to cholesterol depletion are associated with changes in the expression of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, whereas the effect of dietary fat type on gene expression was modest, which limits the usefulness of the experimental animal model.

N2  - Background and aims: ATP-binding cassette transporters G5/G8 (ABCG5/G8) are associated with HDL-C concentrations. To assess whether the effect of ABCG5/G8 genetic variants on HDL-C concentrations is dependent on ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 (ABCA1), we studied potential interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at ABCG5/G8 (i7892 T &gt; C, 5U145A &gt; C, T54CA &gt; G, T400KC &gt; A) and ABCA1 (i27943 G &gt; A, i48168 G &gt; A, K219RG &gt; A, i125970 G &gt; C, 3U8995A &gt; G) genes with HDL-C concentrations. Methods and results: ABCG5/G8 and ABCA1 SNPs were genotyped in 788 subjects (228 men and 560 women) who participated in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Biochemical measurements were determined by standard procedures. Genotyping was performed using TaqMan® assays according to routine laboratory protocols. Significant gene-gene interactions for HDL-C were found between ABCG8 (5U145A &gt; C, T54CA &gt; G, T400KC &gt; A) SNPs and ABCA1_i48168 G &gt; A genetic variant (P=0.009, P=0.042 and P=0.036, respectively), in which carriers of the 5U145C and 54C alleles, and homozygotes for the T400 allele at ABCG8 genetic variants displayed lower HDL-C concentrations than homozygotes for the 5U145A and T54 alleles, and heterozygotes for the 400 K allele at ABCG8 SNPs, only if they were also homozygous for the minor allele (A) at the aforementioned ABCA1 SNP. Conclusions: The gene-gene interactions reported in the present study support the hypothesis that the effect of ABCG5/G8 genetic variants on HDL-C concentrations is dependent on ABCA1 expression. Replication of these analyses to further populations, particularly with low HDL-C, is clearly warranted.

N2  - Sophorolipids are carbohydrate-based, amphiphilic biosurfactants that are of increasing interest for use in environmentally benign cleaning agents. Sophorolipid production was tested for 26 strains representing 19 species of the Starmerella yeast clade, including Starmerella bombicola and Candida apicola, which were previously reported to produce sophorolipids. Five of the 19 species tested showed significant production of sophorolipids: S. bombicola, C. apicola, Candida riodocensis, Candida stellata and a new species, Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208. A high-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight MS assay was developed that showed S. bombicola and C. apicola to produce a lactone form of sophorolipid, whereas C. riodocensis, C. stellata and Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208 produced predominantly free acid sophorolipids. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences for the D1/D2 domains of the nuclear large subunit rRNA gene placed all sophorolipid-producing species in the S. bombicola subclade of the Starmerella clade.

N2  - The absorption and plasma disappearance of vitamin K were investigated by uniformly labelling phylloquinone in kale with carbon-13, and by feeding the kale to study subjects. Seven healthy volunteers ingested a single 400 g serving of kale with 30 g vegetable oil. The kale provided 156 nmol of phylloquinone. Serial plasma samples were collected and analysed for the appearance of 13C-phylloquinone by HPLC-MS. Six of the subjects showed significant amounts of labelled phylloquinone in plasma, though one subject's plasma was not consistently enriched above the detection limit, and this subject's baseline plasma phylloquinone level was the lowest in the group. After ingestion of the labelled kale, plasma 13C-phylloquinone concentration increased rapidly to a peak between 6 and 10 h, and then rapidly decreased. Average peak plasma concentration for the six subjects with detectable 13C-phylloquinone was 2.1 nmol/l. Plasma concentration-time data were analysed by compartmental modelling. Modelling results demonstrated a mean n (6) bioavailability of phylloquinone from kale to be 4.7%. Plasma and tissue half-times for phylloquinone were found to be 8.8 and 215 h, respectively.

N2  - Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that are selectively taken up into the macula of the eye, where they may protect against development of age-related macular degeneration. Accurate assessment of their intakes is important in the understanding of their individual roles in eye health. Current dietary databases lack the appropriate information to ascertain valid dietary intakes of these individual nutrients. The purpose of this research is to determine intakes of lutein and zeaxanthin separately in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004. The top major food sources for lutein and zeaxanthin intake in NHANES 2003-2004 were analyzed for lutein and zeaxanthin by high-performance liquid chromatography from June to August 2006. Results were applied to dietary data from 8,525 participants in NHANES 2003-2004. Lutein and zeaxanthin food contents were separated into lutein and zeaxanthin in the nutrient database. Mean intakes from two nonconsecutive 24-hour recalls were grouped into food groups based on nutrient composition; these were matched to the new database, and lutein and zeaxanthin intakes were calculated separately. Among all age groups, both sexes, and all ethnicities, intakes of lutein were greater than of zeaxanthin. Relative intake of zeaxanthin to lutein decreased with age, with zeaxanthin to lutein ratios lower in females. Zeaxanthin to lutein ratios in Mexican Americans was considerably greater than other ethnicities (other Hispanics, non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, other races). Lower zeaxanthin to lutein ratios were measured in groups at risk for age-related macular degeneration (eg, older participants, females). Our findings suggest that the relative intake of lutein and zeaxanthin may be important to age-related macular degeneration risk. Future studies are needed to assess the individual associations of lutein and zeaxanthin in eye health.

N2  - Photodamage is known to occur in skin with exposure to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Such damage includes inflammation, oxidative stress, breakdown of the extracellular matrix, and development of cancer in the skin. Sun exposure is considered to be one of the most important risk factors for both nonmelanoma and melanoma skin cancers. Many phytonutrients have shown promise as photoprotectants in clinical, animal and cell culture studies. In part, the actions of these phytonutrients are thought to be through their actions as antioxidants. In regard to skin health, phytonutrients of interest include vitamin E, certain flavonoids, and the carotenoids, b-carotene, lycopene and lutein.

N2  - Viability of Listeria monocytogenes was monitored on frankfurters formulated with or without potassium lactate and sodium diacetate at a ratio of ca. 7:1 and treated with lauric arginate (LAE; 22 or 44 ppm) using the Sprayed Lethality in Container (SLIC®) delivery method. Without antimicrobials, pathogen numbers remained relatively constant at ca. 3.3 log CFU/package for ca. 30 d, but then increased to ca. 8.4 log CFU/package over 120 d. Regardless of whether or not lactate and diacetate were included, when treated with LAE, pathogen numbers decreased from ca. 3.3 log CFU/package to ca. 1.5 log CFU/package within 2 h, but then increased to 7.3 and 6.7 log CFU/package, respectively, after 120 d. When frankfurters were formulated with lactate and diacetate and treated with LAE, pathogen numbers decreased by ca. 2.0 log CFU/package within 2 h and remained relatively unchanged over the 120 d. These data confirm that LAE provides an initial lethality towards L. monocytogenes and when used in combination with reduced levels/ratio of lactate and diacetate as an ingredient for frankfurters provides inhibition throughout shelf life.

N2  - Background: Folate deficiency has serious consequences for the fetus. Folic acid fortification of food addresses this problem. However, clinical consequences of vitamin B-12 deficiency may be worsened by high folic acid intakes, perhaps as a direct result of unmetabolized folic acid, which does not occur naturally in body tissues. Objective: We attempted to attribute associations that we previously found between higher folate status and anemia and cognitive test performance to circulating unmetabolized folic acid or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MeTHF). Design: The subjects (n=1858) were senior participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2002) who had normal renal function and reported no history of stroke, recent anemia therapy, or diseases of the liver, thyroid, or coronary arteries. Subjects had undergone a phlebotomy, a complete blood count, and cognitive and dietary assessments. Results: Circulating unmetabolized folic acid was detected in ~33% of the subjects and was related to an increased odds of anemia in alcohol users. In seniors with a serum vitamin B-12 concentration &lt;148 pmol/L or a plasma methylmalonic acid concentration ≥210 nmol/L, the presence compared with the absence of detectable circulating unmetabolized folic acid was related to lower cognitive test scores and lower mean cell volume. In the same subgroup, higher serum 5MeTHF was related to an increased odds of anemia and a marginally significantly decreased odds of macrocytosis. In seniors with a normal vitamin B-12 status, a higher serum 5MeTHF concentration was related to higher cognitive test scores. Conclusion: Results of this epidemiologic study were somewhat consistent with reports on the folic acid treatment of patients with pernicious anemia, but some findings were unexpected.

N2  - Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D is involved in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objective: Our objective was to examine the relation between vitamin D status and incidence of T2D. Design: We used a subsample of 1972 Framingham Offspring Study participants to develop a regression model to predict plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations from age, sex, body mass index, month of blood sampling, total vitamin D intake, smoking status, and total energy intake. Using this model, we calculated the predicted 25(OH)D score for each nondiabetic participant at the cohort's fifth examination to assess the association between the predicted 25(OH)D score and incidence of T2D by using Cox proportional hazards models. Results: A total of 133 T2D cases were identified over a 7-y average follow-up. In comparison with individuals in the lowest tertile of the predicted 25(OH)D score at baseline, those in the highest tertile had a 40% lower incidence of T2D after adjustment for age, sex, waist circumference, parental history of T2D, hypertension, low HDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, impaired fasting glucose, and Dietary Guidelines for Americans Adherence Index score (hazard ratio: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.97; P for trend=0.03). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that higher vitamin D status is associated with decreased risk of T2D. Maintaining optimal 25(OH)D status may be a strategy to prevent the development of T2D.

N2  - The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has multiple functions including digestion, nutrient absorption, secretion of hormones and excretion of wastes. In the ruminant animal, development of this organ system is more complex than that of the monogastric animal due to the necessity to establish a fully functional and differentiated rumen, in which a diverse microbial population of bacteria, fungi and protozoa support fermentation and digestion of dietary fiber. Central to the goal of animal scientists to enhance nutrient uptake and production efficiency of ruminants is the need for a comprehensive understanding of GIT development, as well as conditions that alter the digestion process. The relatively recent availability of genome sequence information has permitted physiological investigations related to the process of digestion for many agriculturally important species at the gene transcript level. For instance, numerous studies have evaluated the expression of ruminant GIT genes to gain insight into mechanisms involved in normal function, physiology and development, such as nutrient uptake and transport across the epithelial cell barrier throughout the alimentary canal, maintenance of rumen pH, and regulation of GIT motility and cell proliferation. Further, multiple studies have examined the effects of dietary modification, including feeding of supplemental fat, starch and protein, or a forage- v. concentrate-based diet on expression of critical gene pathways in the gut. In addition, the expression of genes in the GIT in response to disease, such as infection with gastrointestinal parasites, has been investigated. This review will summarize some of the recent scientific literature related to the gene expression in the GIT of ruminants, primarily cattle, sheep and goats, as it pertains to normal physiology, and dietary, developmental, and disease effects to provide an overview of critical proteins participating in the overall digestive processes, and their physiological functions. Recent findings from our laboratory will be highlighted also related to expression of the glucagon-like peptide two-hormone pathway in the GIT of dairy cattle during in various stages of the development and lactation, alterations in gene pathways associated with the rumen development and differentiation in the weaning calf, and genes of the GIT responding to Ostertagia, a common nematode infection of the cattle. Finally, prospective areas of investigation will be highlighted.

N2  - About 60% of adults in the United States do not consume the estimated average requirement for magnesium, but widespread pathological conditions attributed to magnesium deficiency have not been reported. Nevertheless, low magnesium status has been associated with numerous pathological conditions characterized as having a chronic inflammatory stress component. In humans, deficient magnesium intakes are mostly marginal to moderate (approximately 50% to &lt;100% of the recommended dietary allowance). Animal experiments indicate that signs of marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency can be compensated or exacerbated by other factors influencing inflammatory and oxidative stress; recent studies suggest a similar happening in humans. This suggestion may have significance in obesity, which is characterized as having a chronic low-grade inflammation component and an increased incidence of a low magnesium status. Marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency through exacerbating chronic inflammatory stress may be contributing significantly to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.

N2  - The determination of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for calcium, especially in children, has relied in significant part on the evaluation of the relation between calcium intake and calcium absorption and retention. At present, most of these studies are conducted with the use of dual-tracer stable isotope, although mass balance or other isotope methods are still used occasionally. Studies carried out to evaluate DRI values need to be conducted under the most controlled conditions possible. However, the achievement of such conditions can be difficult, especially in studies in small children, because strict, long-term dietary monitoring and sample collections are not well tolerated. Other dietary factors, which include vitamin D status and the presence of enhancers and inhibitors of calcium absorption, may have to be considered. However, for most healthy populations who do not have very low calcium intakes or serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, other dietary factors will not be major determinants of the net calcium absorption or retention that will be used for the establishment of DRI values. Ultimately, DRI values must be chosen based on an attempt to achieve some targeted value for calcium absorption/retention or to maximize, within constraints, the overall calcium absorbed and retained. In children, it is important to use data obtained at the age and pubertal status being evaluated rather than to interpolate from data performed in other age groups.

N2  - Recent progress in the measurement of the bioconversion of dietary provitamin A carotenoids to vitamin A is reviewed in this article. Methods to assess the bioavailability and bioconversion of provitamin A carotenoids have advanced significantly in the past 10 y, specifically through the use of stable isotope methodology, which includes the use of labeled plant foods. The effects of the food matrix on the bioconversion of provitamin A carotenoids to vitamin A, dietary fat effects, and the effect of genotype on the absorption and metabolism of β-carotene have been reported recently. A summary of the major human studies that determined conversion factors for dietary β-carotene to retinol is presented here, and these data show that the conversion efficiency of dietary β-carotene to retinol is in the range of 3.6-28:1 by weight. There is a wide variation in conversion factors reported not only between different studies but also between individuals in a particular study. These findings show that the vitamin A value of individual plant foods rich in provitamin A carotenoids may vary significantly and need further investigation.

N2  - Background: Compared with other common plant foods, walnuts (Juglans regia) are consistently ranked among the highest in antioxidant capacity. In vitro, walnut polyphenols inhibit plasma and LDL oxidation, while in animal models they lower biomarkers of oxidative stress and raise antioxidant capacity. A limited number of human feeding trials indicate that walnuts improve some measures of antioxidant status, but not others. Methods: A 19 wk, randomized crossover trial was conducted in 21 generally healthy men and postmenopausal women ≥50 y to study the dose-response effects of walnut intake on biomarkers of antioxidant activity, oxidative stress, and nutrient status. Subjects were randomized to receive either 21 or 42 g raw walnuts/d during each 6 wk intervention phase with a 6 wk washout between phases. Subjects were instructed to consume their usual diet, but refrain from eating any other tree nuts, seeds, peanuts, or ellagitannin-rich foods during the entire study, and other polyphenol-rich foods for 2 d prior to each study visit. Results: Compared to baseline levels, red blood cell (RBC) linoleic acid and plasma pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) were significantly higher after 6 wk with 42 g/d walnuts (P&lt;0.05 for both). Overall, changes in plasma total thiols, and other antioxidant biomarkers, were not significant with either walnut dose. However, when compared to fasting levels, plasma total thiols were elevated within 1 h of walnut consumption with both doses during the baseline and end visits for each intervention phase (P&lt;0.05 for all). Despite the observed increase in RBC linoleic and linolenic acids associated with walnut consumption, this substrate for lipid peroxidation only minimally affected malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant capacity. The proportional changes in MDA and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) were consistent with a dose-response effect, although no significant within- or between-group differences were observed for these measures. Conclusions: Walnut consumption did not significantly change the plasma antioxidant capacity of healthy, well-nourished older adults in this pilot study. However, improvements in linoleic acid and pyridoxal phosphate were observed with chronic consumption, while total plasma thiols were enhanced acutely. Future studies investigating the antioxidant effects of walnuts in humans are warranted, but should include either a larger sample size or a controlled feeding intervention.

N2  - The nutritional influence of zinc on markers of bone extracellular matrix resorption and mineralization was investigated in growing rats. Thirty male weanling rats were randomly assigned to consume AIN-93G based diets containing 2.5, 5, 7.5, 15 or 30 µg Zn/g diet for 24 days. Femur zinc increased substantially as zinc increased from 5 to 15 µg/g diet and modestly between 15 and 30 µg/g (P&lt;.05). By morphological assessment, trabecular bone increased steadily as dietary zinc increased to 30 µg/g. Increasing dietary zinc tended to decrease Zip2 expression nonsignificantly and elevated the relative expression of metallothionen-I at 15 but not 30 µg Zn/g diet. Femur osteoclastic resorption potential, indicated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and carbonic anhydrase-2 activities decreased with increasing dietary zinc. In contrast to indicators of extracellular matrix resorption, femur tartrate-resistant acid and alkaline phosphatase activities increased fourfold as dietary zinc increased from 2.5 to 30 µg Zn/g. Likewise, 15 or 30 µg Zn/g diet resulted in maximum relative expression of osteocalcin, without influencing expression of core-binding factor α-1, collagen Type 1 alpha-1, or nuclear factor of activated T cells c1. In conclusion, increased trabecular bone with additional zinc suggests that previous requirement estimates of 15 µg Zn/g diet may not meet nutritional needs for optimal bone development. Overall, the up-regulation of extracellular matrix modeling indexes and concomitant decrease in resorption activities as dietary zinc increased from 2.5 to 30 µg/g provide evidence of one or more physiological roles for zinc in modulating the balance between bone formation and resorption.

N2  - Stilbenes are phytoalexins that become activated when plants are stressed. These compounds exist in foods and are widely consumed. Resveratrol is a grape-derived stilbene, which possesses a wide range of health-promoting activities, including anticancer properties. Several other stilbenes structurally similar to resveratrol are also available in food, but their biological activities remain largely unknown. In this study, we compared the effects of resveratrol and its natural derivatives pterostilbene, trans-resveratrol trimethylether, trans-pinostilbene and trans-desoxyrhapontigenin on androgen-responsive human prostate cancer LNCaP cells. We found that these compounds exert differential effects on LNCaP cell growth, cell cycle and apoptosis. Trans-resveratrol trimethylether appeared to be the most potent compound among the stilbenes tested. Treatment of LNCaP cells with trans-resveratrol trimethylether resulted in G2/M blockage while other compounds, including resveratrol, induced G1/S arrest. Moreover, different from other compounds, trans-resveratrol trimethylether induced apoptosis. At the molecular level, the effects of these compounds on cell cycle correlated with induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A and B mRNA levels. Additionally, these compounds also inhibited both androgen- as well as estrogen-mediated pathways. These results provide mechanistic information on how resveratrol and its methylether analogs may act to contribute to potential antiprostate cancer activity.

N2  - This article describes the comparison of different versions of an easy, rapid and low-cost sample preparation approach for the determination of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables by concurrent use of gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) for detection. The sample preparation approach is known as QuEChERS, which stands for "quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe". The three compared versions were based on the original unbuffered method, which was first published in 2003, and two interlaboratory validated versions: AOAC Official Method 2007.01, which uses acetate buffering, and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Standard Method EN 15662, which calls for citrate buffering. LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analyses using each method were tested from 50 to 1000 ng/g in apple-blueberry sauce, peas and limes spiked with 32 representative pesticides. As expected, the results were excellent (overall average of 98% recoveries with 10% RSD) using all 3 versions, except the unbuffered method gave somewhat lower recoveries for the few pH-dependent pesticides. The different methods worked equally well for all matrices tested with equivalent amounts of matrix co-extractives measured, matrix effects on quantification and chemical noise from matrix in the chromatographic backgrounds. The acetate-buffered version gave higher and more consistent recoveries for pymetrozine than the other versions in all 3 matrices and for thiabendazole in limes. None of the versions consistently worked well for chlorothalonil, folpet or tolylfluanid in peas, but the acetate-buffered method gave better results for screening of those pesticides. Also, due to the recent shortage in acetonitrile (MeCN), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) was evaluated as a substitute solvent in the acetate-buffered QuEChERS version, but it generally led to less clean extracts and lower recoveries of pymetrozine, thiabendazole, acephate, methamidophos, omethoate and dimethoate. In summary, the acetate-buffered version of QuEChERS using MeCN exhibited advantages compared to the other tested methods in the study.

N2  - Background and aims: Using a genetic predisposition score (GPS), integrating the additive associations of a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with CHD, we examined the consequences of the joint presence of a high GPS and conventional risk factors (CRFs). Methods and results: We studied 11 SNPs at eight loci in 197 participants with prior CHD and 524 CHD-free subjects from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Each polymorphism contributed 1 unit (high-risk allele homozygous), 0.5 units (heterozygous) and 0 units (low-risk allele homozygous) to the GPS. Odds ratio (OR) of CHD for those at high risk because of GPS (&gt;5) and simultaneous presence of CRFs were estimated, compared with subjects at low risk, for both measurements. The mean score was higher in participants with prior CHD than those CHD-free (P=0.015), and the OR for CHD with a GPS &gt;5 was 2.90 (P&lt;0.001).The joint presence of a high GPS and each CRF was associated with higher risk of CHD. Compared to participants with high GPS, those with low GPS (≤5) were protected against CHD even if they were smokers (OR=0.44), heavy drinkers (OR=0.43), displayed low physical activity (OR=0.35), had hypertension (OR=0.52) or hyperlipidemia (OR=0.34) (P values ranging from 0.004 to 0.023). Conclusion: A simple genetic score of 11 polymorphisms may identify those subjects at increased risk of CHD beyond conventional risk factors.

N2  - Background: Low vitamin B-6 status has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The cardioprotective effects of vitamin B-6 independent of homocysteine suggest that additional mechanisms may be involved. Objective: Our objective was to examine the cross-sectional association of vitamin B-6 status with markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Design: We measured plasma pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and an oxidative DNA damage marker, urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), in Puerto Rican adults who were living in Massachusetts (n=1205, aged 45-75 y). Results: There was a strong dose-response relation of plasma PLP concentration with plasma CRP. Increasing quartiles of PLP were significantly associated with lower CRP concentrations (geometric means: 4.7, 3.6, 3.1, and 2.5 mg/L; P for trend &lt;0.0001) and with lower urinary 8-OHdG concentrations (geometric means: 124, 124, 117, and 108 ng/mg creatinine; P for trend: 0.025) after multivariate adjustment. These negative associations persisted after plasma homocysteine was controlled for. Plasma PLP concentrations were significantly correlated with plasma fasting glucose (r=-0.1, P=0.0006), glycated hemoglobin (r=-0.08, P=0.006), and homeostasis model assessment of β cell function (r=0.082, P=0.005). Metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes were also significantly associated with low plasma PLP concentrations (P=0.011, 0.0007, and 0.004, respectively). Conclusions: Low vitamin B-6 concentrations are associated with inflammation, higher oxidative stress, and metabolic conditions in older Puerto Rican adults. Our data suggest that vitamin B-6 may influence cardiovascular disease risk through mechanisms other than homocysteine and support the notion that nutritional status may influence the health disparities present in this population.

N2  - Microbial cross-contamination either at home or production site is one of the major factors of causing contamination of foods and leading to the foodborne illness. The knowledge regarding Escherichia coli O157:H7 surface transfer on ready-to-eat (RTE) deli meat and the slicer used for slicing different RTE products are needed to ensure RTE food safety. The objectives of this study were to investigate and to model the surface cross-contamination of E. coli O157:H7 during slicing operation. A five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 was inoculated directly onto a slicer's round blade rim area at an initial level of ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/blade (ca. 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 log CFU/cm2 of the blade edge area), and then the RTE deli meat (ham) was sliced to a thickness of 1-2 mm. For another cross-contamination scenario, a clean blade was initially used to slice ham which was pre-surface-inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/100 cm2 area), then, followed by slicing un-inoculated ham. Results showed that the developed empirical models were reasonably accurate in describing the transfer trend/pattern of E. coli O157:H7 between the blade and ham slices when the total inoculum level was ≥5 log CFU on the ham or blade. With an initial inoculum level at ≤4 log CFU, the experimental data showed a rather random microbial surface transfer pattern. The models, i.e., a power equation for direct-blade-surface-inoculation, and an exponential equation for ham-surface-inoculation are microbial load and sequential slice index dependent. The surface cross-contamination prediction of E. coli O157:H7 for sliced deli meat (ham) using the developed models were demonstrated. The empirical models may provide a useful tool in developing the RTE meat risk assessment.

N2  - Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) proteins interact functionally to regulate lipid metabolism, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for each gene have also been associated independently with obesity risk. Evaluating gene combinations may be more effective than single SNP analyses in identifying genetic risk, but insufficient minor allele frequency (MAF) often limits evaluations of potential epistatic relationships. Populations with multiple ancestral admixtures may provide unique opportunities for evaluating genetic interactions. We examined relationships between LPL m107 (rs1800590) and APOA5 S19W (rs3135506) and lipid and anthropometric measures in Caribbean origin Hispanics (n=1,019, aged 45-75 years) living in the Boston metropolitan area. Significant interaction terms between LPL m107 and APOA5 S19W were observed for BMI (P=0.003) and waist circumference (P=0.019). Higher BMI (P=0.001), waist (P=0.011) and hip (P=0.026) circumference were observed in minor allele (G) carriers for LPL m107 who also carried the APOA5 S19W minor allele (G). Additionally, extreme obesity (BMI ≥40 kg/m2) risk was higher (odds ratio=4.02; 95% confidence interval: 1.81-8.91; global P=0.008) for minor allele carriers for both SNPs (LPL TG+GG, APOA5 CG+GG) compared to major allele carriers for both SNPs. In summary, we identified significant interactions for APOA5 S19W and LPL m107 for obesity in Caribbean Hispanics. Population-specific MAFs increase the difficulties of replicating gene-gene interactions, but may support the hypothesis that combinations of frequencies in selected genes could heighten obesity susceptibility in a given population. Analyses of gene-gene interactions may improve understanding of genetically based obesity risk, and underscore the need for further study of groups with multiple ancestral admixtures.

N2  - This research tested whether children could categorize foods more accurately and speedily when presented with child-generated rather than professionally generated food categories, and whether a graphically appealing browse procedure similar to the Apple iTunes (Cupertino, CA) "cover flow" graphical user interface accomplished this better than the more common tree-view structure. In Fall 2008, 104 multiethnic children ages 8 to 13 were recruited at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) and randomly assigned to two browse procedures: cover flow (collages of foods in a category) or tree view (food categories in a list). Within each browse condition children categorized the same randomly ordered 26 diverse foods to both child and professionally organized categories (with method randomly sequenced per child). Acceptance of categorization was determined by registered dietitians. Speed of categorization was recorded by the computer. Differences between methods were determined by repeated measures analysis of variance. Younger children (8 to 9 years old) tended to have lower acceptance and longer speeds of categorization. The quickest categorization was obtained with child categories in a tree structure. Computerized dietary reporting by children can use child-generated food categories and tree structures to organize foods for browsing in a hierarchically organized structure to enhance speed of categorization, but not accuracy. A computerized recall may not be appropriate for children 9 years of age or younger.

N2  - Two terpene-degrading bacteria able to transform (+/-)-geosmin have been identified. Pseudomonas sp. SBR3-tpnb, following growth on γ-terpinene, converts (+/-)-geosmin to several products; the major products are ketogeosmins. Rhodococcus wratislaviensis DLC-cam, isolated on D-camphor, also converts (+/-)-geosmin to several oxidation products, primarily ketogeosmins identical to those produced by strain SBR3-tpnb as well as hydroxygeosmins. This conversion appears to be inducible by (+/-)-geosmin and not by D-camphor.

N2  - A standardised profiling method based on liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-ESI/MS) was used to identify 46 flavonoids and 17 caffeic acid derivatives in the aqueous methanol extract of Flos chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat) (Compositae), an important Chinese herb. Fifteen caffeoylquinic acids and 15 flavonoids were positively identified and the remaining compounds were provisionally identified. The detected phenolics were present at concentrations greater than 0.001% of the dry plant material. Many of these phenolics have been reported to have human health benefits. Twenty-five compounds, including C-glycosylated flavones and aliphatic acid-containing caffeoylquinic acids, are reported for the first time in chrysanthemum flower, and this comprehensive analysis of the phenolic components of herb Flos chrysanthemum will be helpful for the quality control of this herb and its products, and to understand the usage and function.

N2  - The production of pediocin in milk by Pediococcus acidilactici was evaluated in co-culture with the dairy fermentation cultures Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The cultures were tested singly and in different combinations in milk (0 or 2% fat content) during incubation at 40°C for up to 10 h. Cell-free milk samples taken every 60 min were tested for bacteriocin activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin activity was not detectable when P. acidilactici was inoculated into milk as a monoculture. When P. acidilactici was grown in combination with the yogurt starter cultures S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, pediocin concentration reached 3,200-6,400 units ml-1 after 8 h of incubation. The results showed that pediocin producing pediococci may be useful adjunct components in mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus to amplify the bioprotective properties of fermented dairy foods against Listeria contamination.

N2  - We use data from hypothetical and nonhypothetical choice-based conjoint analysis to estimate willingness to pay for local food products. The survey was administered to three groups: consumers from a buying club with experience with local and grass-fed production markets, a random sample of Maryland residents, and shoppers at a nonspecialty Maryland supermarket. We find that random-sample and supermarket shoppers are willing to pay a premium for local products but view local and grass-fed production as substitutes. Conversely, buying-club members are less willing to pay for local production than the other groups but do not conflate local and grass-fed production.

N2  - This study investigates the relationship between cash and futures prices of soybeans and soybean meal from 1992 to 2013. Error correction models are estimated for the prices of both commodities. An exogenous measure of price variability is included in both models to determine if variability increases the speed with which cash and futures prices return to their long-run equilibrium relationship. This is used to measure the impact of price variability on short-run market efficiency and the price discovery process. The findings indicate that the level of price variability influences market adjustment rates and the price discovery process.

N2  - The biofuels era brought about changes to the energy and agricultural sectors. For example, the decrease in natural gas prices has led to a weakening of the relationship between fertilizer and gas prices. The other change has been an increase in the demand for fertilizers, which has strengthened the price relationship between these two products. Econometric evidence from this work indicates that after 2008 the relationship between fertilizers and corn prices increased. In addition, results from our work indicate the presence of market power in the ammonia fertilizer sector.

N2  - We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the season-average price projections for U.S. corn as published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), an important issue given reduced resources and increased program scrutiny within the Federal Government. This study is the first in the literature to evaluate the WASDE corn projections relative to futures adjusted forecasts throughout the forecasting cycle using a lengthy evaluation period (1980/81-2012/13). We find that WASDE projections provide lower RMSEs relative to futures adjusted forecasts for 9 of the 16 forecast periods, 4 of which are statistically different. Encompassing tests show that WASDE projections often provide incremental information not present in the futures adjusted forecasts. Composite forecasts based on futures adjusted forecasts and WASDE projections reduced the RMSEs over all forecast periods by an average 12-16%. Favorable average trading profits may be generated for some forecast months using WASDE projections. Overall, our results suggest that WASDE projections of the U.S. corn season-average price provide useful information to the market and could enhance the efficiency of the agricultural sector.

N2  - Many governments offer subsidies for renewable power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the power sector. However, most support schemes for renewable power do not take into account that emissions depend on the location of renewable and conventional power plants within an electricity grid. I simulate optimal power flow in a test grid when 4 renewable power plants connect to the grid across 24 potential sites, amounting to over 10,000 configurations. Each configuration is associated with different levels of emissions and renewable power output. I find that emission reductions vary by a factor of 7 and that curtailment due to transmission congestion is more likely when renewable power plants are concentrated in an area of the grid with low demand. Large cost savings could be obtained by allowing subsidies for renewable power to vary across locations according to abatement potential or by replacing subsidies with a price on emissions.

N2  - This article examines bilateral trade patterns in the Asia-Pacific using a new model in which comparative advantage within the agricultural sector is linked to agro-ecological characteristics, and trade costs are product-specific. Bilateral market share is a function of productivity and trade costs. However, countries with similar land and climate characteristics systematically have high productivity in similar products making them disproportionately sensitive to changes in each other's trade costs. We use a random coefficients logit model to estimate a parametric distribution of comparative advantage and trade costs across products and calculate regional trade liberalization elasticities for each exporter in each import market. Unlike most existing models, the value of the elasticity depends on the degree to which liberalization includes competitors with similar comparative advantage within the agricultural sector. We find disproportionately larger trade elasticities under China-led liberalization relative to U.S.-led liberalization among close U.S. competitors compared to countries whose agricultural products are unlikely to compete head-to-head with U.S. exports. For the United States, we find that the "lost opportunity" cost of exclusion from regional liberalization is increasing in the extent to which its close competitors gain new access.

N2  - The choices related to preservation often involve consideration of the fate of the non-selected land. Yet, theory traditionally assumes that the fate of non-selected goods does not influence consumers' preferences. Results from a framed field experiment involving the private choice of wine show that consumer preferences can dramatically shift for items under the threat of imminent destruction. This shift (upwards of 58% increase) may explain why conservation professionals, despite decades of scientific evidence, have failed to adopt cost-effective techniques that would yield large conservation benefits at no additional cost. Interestingly, economists exhibit similar preference shifts.

AB  - Federal, state, and tribal fishery managers, as well as the general public and their elected representatives in the United States, were concerned when infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) was suspected for the first time in free-ranging Pacific Salmon collected from the coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada. This article documents how national and regional fishery managers and fish health specialists of the U.S. worked together and planned and implemented actions in response to the reported finding of ISAV in British Columbia. To date, the reports by Simon Fraser University remain unconfirmed and preliminary results from collaborative U.S. surveillance indicate that there is no evidence of ISAV in U.S. populations of free-ranging or marine-farmed salmonids on the west coast of North America.

AB  - Los manejadores de pesquerías a nivel federal, estatal y tribal así como también el público en general y sus representantes electos en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica (EE.UU.) manifestaron su preocupación ante la sospecha de la presencia del virus de anemia infecciosa (VAIS) cuando por primera vez se detectó en salmones del Pacífico colectados en su rango natural de distribución en áreas de la Columbia Británica (CB) en Canadá. En este artículo se documenta cómo administradores de pesquerías a nivel nacional y regional y especialistas en salud acuícola de los EE.UU. trabajaron, planearon e implementaron juntos acciones en respuesta a los hallazgos de VAIS en la CB. Hasta ahora, los reportes de la Universidad Simon Fraser permanecen sin confirmación y los resultados preliminares por parte de agencias de inspección y vigilancia en los EE.UU. indican que no existe evidencia del VAIS en poblaciones de salmón marino cultivado en sus rangos naturales de distribución dentro la costa noroeste de los EE.UU.

AB  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Countieswith higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified foodmanager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

AB  - Summary Background & aims To test several circadian rhythm variables in a female population to identify the best tool to assess chronodisruption in obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) to define a score to be used for chronodisruption characterization in clinical practice. Methods Anthropometric measurements and markers of circadian rhythms, such as sleep and feeding diary, Horne–Ostberg questionnaire, melatonin and cortisol measurements, and wrist temperature measurements, were determined. MetS variables were also analyzed. Study was conducted in 70 women. Data were subjected to factor analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used as predictors of chronodisruption risk, and a score was calculated to classify the subjects of risk. Results Factor analysis showed that the first-factor grouped variables were related to the skin temperature measurement. Second factor consisted of variables related to salivary cortisol levels and obesity-related measurements. Third factor included variables related to sleep-wake cycle. Fourth factor referred to peripheral temperature variables and included the classification of subjects according to the Horne–Ostberg questionnaire. To obtain a final punctuation we performed the weighted mean of the first four factors. The final range was from 27 to 57, mean value of 42. Punctuation was defined as the “chronodisruption score.” Women displaying higher chronodisruption scores had higher MetS risk. Conclusion The study demonstrates that wrist temperature recordings, together with two questions of sleep onset and offset, and one morning salivary cortisol determination could be enough to characterize the chronobiology of obesity and MetS, a new chronodisruption score was developed.

AB  - Background: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data show an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality with an increased intake of added sugar. Objective: We determined the dose-response effects of consuming beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) at zero, low, medium, and high proportions of energy requirements (Ereq) on circulating lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid in adults [age: 18-40 y; body mass index (in kg/m2): 18-35]. Design: We conducted a parallel-arm, nonrandomized, double-blinded intervention study in which adults participated in 3.5 inpatient days of baseline testing at the University of California Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center's Clinical Research Center. Participants then consumed beverages sweetened with HFCS at 0% (aspartame sweetened, n = 23), 10% (n = 18), 17.5% (n = 16), or 25% (n = 28) of Ereq during 13 outpatient days and during 3.5 inpatient days of intervention testing at the research center. We conducted 24-h serial blood collections during the baseline and intervention testing periods. Results: Consuming beverages containing 10%, 17.5%, or 25% Ereq from HFCS produced significant linear dose-response increases of lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid: postprandial triglyceride (0%: 0 ± 4; 10%: 22 ± 8; 17.5%: 25 ± 5: 25%: 37 ± 5 mg/dL, mean of Δ ± SE, P < 0.0001 effect of HFCSdose), fasting LDL cholesterol (0%: 21.0 ± 3.1; 10%: 7.4 ± 3.2; 17.5%: 8.2 ± 3.1; 25%: 15.9 ± 3.1 mg/dL, P < 0.0001), and 24-h mean uric acid concentrations (0%: 20.13 ± 0.07; 10%: 0.15 ± 0.06; 17.5%: 0.30 ± 0.07; 25%: 0.59 ± 0.09 mg/dL, P < 0.0001). Compared with beverages containing 0% HFCS, all 3 doses of HFCS-containing beverages increased concentrations of postprandial triglyceride, and the 2 higher doses increased fasting and/or postprandial concentrations of non-HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein CIII, and uric acid. Conclusions: Consuming beverages containing 10%, 17.5%, or 25% Ereq from HFCS produced dose-dependent increases in circulating lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for CVD and uric acid within 2 wk. These results provide mechanistic support for the epidemiologic evidence that the risk of cardiovascular mortality is positively associated with consumption of increasing amounts of added sugars. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01103921.

AB  - Natural variation exists in onion (Allium cepa L.) for amounts of epicuticular waxes on foliage, and plants with lower amounts of these waxes suffer less feeding damage from onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.). Wild-type onion possesses copious amounts of epicuticular waxes and is often referred to as "waxy." The recessively inherited "glossy" phenotype has significantly less wax relative to waxy types and shows resistance to onion thrips but is vulnerable to spray damage, foliar pathogens, and excessive transpiration. Phenotypes visually intermediate between waxy and glossy also exist in onion, which we refer to as "semiglossy." Epicuticular waxes on the leaves of glossy, semiglossy, and waxy onions were evaluated for appearance using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and amounts and types were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Wax crystals were clearly visible on the surface of waxy foliage with decreasing amounts on semiglossy and none on glossy leaves. The ketone hentriacontanone- 16 was the most prevalent wax on leaves of waxy onion and was significantly (P < 0.01) less on semiglossy relative to waxy plants and on glossy relative to waxy and semiglossy plants. Numbers of adult and immature onion thrips were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) on glossy and/or semiglossy accessions relative to waxy in field and greenhouse cage experiments. These results indicate that semiglossy plants possess intermediate amounts of epicuticular waxes that may protect leaves from diseases or environmental stresses while still conferring resistance to onion thrips. Therefore, the semiglossy phenotype should be useful in integrated programs managing this important onion pest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND Plant parasitic nematodes and soilborne pathogens can reduce the overall productivity in grape production. Not all grape growers apply soil fumigants before planting, and there is no single rootstock resistant to all nematode species. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of dimethyl disulfide ( DMDS) applied at 112, 224, 448 and 897 kg ha−1 as a post-plant treatment against soilborne plant parasitic nematodes and pathogens on the grape yield in established grapevines. RESULTS In microplot and field trials, post-plant fumigation with DMDS controlled citrus ( Tylenchulus semipenetrans), root-knot ( Meloidogyne spp.), pin ( Paratylenchus spp.) and ring ( Mesocriconema xenoplax) nematodes in established Thomson Seedless grapevines. However, DMDS did not control the soilborne pathogens Pythium ultimum and Fusarium oxysporum. No indications of phytotoxicity were detected after post-plant fumigation with DMDS. In the field trial, grape yield was significantly higher with the lowest DMDS rate, but no difference among other rates was observed in comparison with the untreated control. CONCLUSION Post-plant fumigation with DMDS controlled plant parasitic nematodes in established grapevines but was less efficacious against soilborne pathogens. Low rates of DMDS were sufficient for nematode control and increased the grape yield, probably without affecting beneficial soil organisms. Further research on evaluating the potential effect of DMDS against beneficial soil organisms is needed. Published 2013. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

AB  - The modification of microbiota composition to a ‘beneficial’ one is a promising approach for improving intestinal as well as overall health. Natural fibres and phytochemicals that reach the proximal colon, such as those present in various nuts, provide substrates for the maintenance of healthy and diverse microbiota. The effects of increased consumption of specific nuts, which are rich in fibre as well as various phytonutrients, on human gut microbiota composition have not been investigated to date. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of almond and pistachio consumption on human gut microbiota composition. We characterised microbiota in faecal samples collected from volunteers in two separate randomised, controlled, cross-over feeding studies (n 18 for the almond feeding study and n 16 for the pistachio feeding study) with 0, 1·5 or 3 servings/d of the respective nuts for 18 d. Gut microbiota composition was analysed using a 16S rRNA-based approach for bacteria and an internal transcribed spacer region sequencing approach for fungi. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis of 528 028 sequence reads, retained after removing low-quality and short-length reads, revealed various operational taxonomic units that appeared to be affected by nut consumption. The effect of pistachio consumption on gut microbiota composition was much stronger than that of almond consumption and included an increase in the number of potentially beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria. Although the numbers of bifidobacteria were not affected by the consumption of either nut, pistachio consumption appeared to decrease the number of lactic acid bacteria (P< 0·05). Increasing the consumption of almonds or pistachios appears to be an effective means of modifying gut microbiota composition. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Eucalypts are the world's most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest proportion thus far in plant genomes. Eucalyptus also shows the highest diversity of genes for specialized metabolites such as terpenes that act as chemical defence and provide unique pharmaceutical oils. Genome sequencing of the E. grandis sister species E. globulus and a set of inbred E. grandis tree genomes reveals dynamic genome evolution and hotspots of inbreeding depression. The E. grandis genome is the first reference for the eudicot order Myrtales and is placed here sister to the eurosids. This resource expands our understanding of the unique biology of large woody perennials and provides a powerful tool to accelerate comparative biology, breeding and biotechnology.

AB  - In order to inform natural resource policy and land management decisions, landscape values mapping (LVM) is increasingly used to collect data about the meanings that people attach to places and the activities associated with those places. This type of mapping provides geographically referenced data on areas of high density of values or associated with different types of values. This article focuses on issues and challenges that commonly occur in LVM, drawing on lessons learned in the US Forest Service Olympic Peninsula Human Ecology Mapping Project. The discussion covers choosing a spatial scale for collecting data, creating the base map, developing data collection strategies, the use of ascribed versus assigned values, and the pros and cons of different mapping formats. Understanding the common issues and challenges in LVM will assist policy makers, land managers, and researchers in designing a LVM project that effectively balances project goals, time and budgetary constraints, and personnel resources in a way that ensures the most robust data and inclusive public participation.Environmental Practice 16: 138–150 (2014) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Theoretical models predict that seed size and seed-bank persistence evolve interdependently, such that strong selection for one trait corresponds with weak selection for the other. This framework has been supported and rejected by empirical data, and thus, conclusive evidence is lacking. We expanded the seed size–persistence framework to include seed-coat thickness, a defence trait previously correlated with seed survival in soil. To do this, we used Abutilon theophrasti accessions with varied evolutionary histories and we quantified associations among seed traits including morphology, size, coat thickness, dormancy (percentage of viable seeds that fail to germinate under optimum conditions) and seed-bank persistence (percentage of viable seeds remaining after 1 year of burial). Statistical models were developed to test the hypothesis that combined measurements of seed-coat thickness and seed size better explain variability in seed-bank persistence than seed-size data alone. Results indicated that measurements of seed size (length, width, mass) were negatively correlated with coat:width ratio (coat thickness relative to seed width) and coat:mass ratio (coat thickness relative to seed mass). Accessions characterized by smaller seeds with proportionally thicker seed coats were more dormant and more persistent in soil than accessions characterized by larger seeds with proportionally thinner seed coats. Seed-coat thickness data improved the explanatory power of logistic regression models for seed-size effects on both seed-bank persistence and dormancy. These results indicate that supplementing seed-size data with seed-defence data may clarify previously reported contradictory results regarding trade-offs between seed size and seed-bank persistence.

AB  - Conventional soil maps (CSM) have provided baseline soil information for land use planning for over 100 years. Although CSM have been widely used, they are not suitable to meet growing demands for high resolution soil information at field scales. We present a repeatable method to disaggregate 8SM data into ~30-meter resolution rasterized soil class maps that include continuous representation of probabilistic map uncertainty. Methods include training set creation for original CSM component soil classes from soil-landscape descriptions within the original survey database. Training sets are used to build a random forest predictive model utilizing environmental covariate maps derived from ASTER satellite imagery and the USGS National Elevation Dataset. Results showed agreement at 70 percent of independent field validation sites and equivalent accuracy between original 8SM map units and the disaggregated map. Uncertainty of predictions was mapped by relating prediction frequencies of the random forest model and success rates at validation sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Giant reed is an emergent aquatic plant that may be weedy in riparian habitats. Two herbicides approved for controlling giant reed in the US are glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) and imazapyr (2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid). Foliar applications of these herbicides may be restricted in some areas, such as those, which are within the range of threatened or endangered species. We conducted two field experiments at sites in northern and central California. The first experiment evaluated the effects of three aquatic herbicides (glyphosate, imazapyr, and triclopyr [(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid) injected into all of the stems within a giant reed (5 mL stem−1). In this experiment, leaf chlorophyll content, the proportion of living stems, and the number of new stems produced during the year after treatment declined (>80%) following injection of either full strength glyphosate or imazapyr. The effects of injecting full strength triclopyr were considerably less. In a second experiment, different proportions (0, 10%, 25%, or 100%) of the stems within a plant were injected with full strength glyphosate. Results indicated that it was necessary to inject all of the stems within a clump to achieve the greatest reduction in the plant growth characteristics measured. These results imply that giant reed may be successfully controlled by injecting full strength glyphosate (5 mL stem−1) into all of the stems within a clump. While labor intensive and thus potentially more costly this method, offers a new method for managing giant reed in sensitive sites where foliar spray applications may be restricted.

AB  - The Institute of Nuclear Materials Management held an international workshop, entitled "Containment & Surveillance: Concepts for the 21st Century," on June 6-11, 2010, at Oak National Laboratory, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The National Nuclear Security Administration Offices of Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development and Nonproliferation and International Security sponsored the event. The workshop focused on determining concepts and needs for twenty-first century containment and surveillance (C/S) systems that support International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, regional safeguards authorities (e.g., the Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials and the European Atomic Energy Community), and future arms control agreements. Panel discussions among subject matter experts and international practitioners provided the daily topical theme for the following areas of C/S: authentication, tagging, sealing, and containment verification and surveillance systems. Each panel discussion was followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience and an afternoon breakout session. The facilitated breakout sessions were used to compile and prioritize future needs. Individuals attending the workshop included: C/S experts and practitioners, IAEA and arms control inspectors, technology providers, vendors, students, and other individuals with an interest in or desire to learn about future C/S system needs. The primary goal for the workshop was to produce a document that details the future research and development needs and priorities for C/S systems that support nuclear safeguards and arms control missions. This paper presents a preliminary compilation of the information obtained from breakout sessions at the workshop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The United States and the Russian Federation have been cooperating on the Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A) of weapons-grade special nuclear materials for over 15 years with an emphasis on physical protection (PP) and material control and accounting (MC&A) upgrades of those materials at State Corporation for Atomic Energy (Rosatom) and non-Rosatom sites. In addition to these upgrade activities the Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of International Material Protection and Cooperation (NA-25), has been funding infrastructure work to enhance and strengthen nuclear infrastructure activities at the national, regional and site levels in Russia. This project work, focusing on inspections, training, education, MC&A measurements, protective force strategies, transportation security, MPC&A Operations Monitoring (MOM), sustainability, and civilian and military regulatory development, is primarily supported by NA-25's Office of National Infrastructure and Sustainability (ONIS). Working jointly with their Russian counterparts, each respective project has achieved significant accomplishments toward the common objective of a secure Russian nuclear complex. This paper describes the integrated, systematic approaches used by ONIS and its project teams to bridge gaps and enhance Russian Federation efforts toward an effective and sustainable governmental infrastructure regulating and supporting the Russian nuclear complex.

AB  - The U.S. Department of Energy's Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A) Program has been working with the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (MEPhI) since 1996 and Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) since 2005 to establish degree programs in nuclear security and safeguards in Russia through the MPC&A Education Project. The main objective of this project is to educate and train existing and future Russian experts in nuclear security and safeguards (S&S) methodology and nonproliferation policy? MEPhI and TPU faculty are recognized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for their expertise in nuclear S&S and serve as consultants to other nations. Individuals who received degrees early in the program are advancing to mid-level positions within organizations and are (1) developing and implementing policy, (2) designing, installing and operating S&S systems and (3) conceptualizing the next generation of S&S systems. Both universities are now recognized as leaders in nuclear S&S education and have been assisting the IAEA in development of nuclear security curriculum and assisting other countries in developing their own educational programs in this field. The need for qualified nuclear S&S and nonproliferation experts is increasing internationally due to such factors as a retiring workforce, increasing demand for nuclear power, and the on-going need to secure nuclear materials. This paper describes the accomplishments of the MPC&A Education Project in establishing the nuclear S&S degree programs at MEPhI and TPU, and provides a roadmap for other institutions that are considering developing a similar program.

AB  - In 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) began assisting selected non-nuclear weapon states in planning and preparing for implementation of the International Atomic Energy Agency's Additional Protocol (AP). Since then, the AP international implementation program has contributed to the substantial progress made by Vietnam, Thailand, Iraq, Malaysia, and the Philippines in preparing for entry-into-force of the AP. An overall engagement plan has been developed with components designed to train government AP implementing agencies, inform policy makers, conduct outreach to industry and universities, provide training on AP reporting software, and plan a detailed approach for implementing the declaration and complementary access provisions of the AP. NNSA recently began collaborating with Indonesia, which has already entered the AP into force, requiring a second method of engagement somewhat different from that taken with countries that have not entered the AP into force. The AP international implementation program, administered by the NNSA International Nuclear Safeguards and Engagement Program, is working more closely with NNSA's International Nonproliferation Export Control Program to ensure countries are aware of and prepared to implement the export/import provisions of the AP. As the AP implementation program matures and helps move countries closer to entry-into-force or improved AP implementation, it is identifying characteristics of a country's "end-state" to indicate that NNSA assistance is no longer needed. The U.S. AP Implementation Act and Senate Resolution of Ratification require the Administration to report annually to Congress on measures taken to achieve the adoption of the AP in non-nuclear weapon states. DOE's AP international implementation program, begun before the Act, is a significant part of these measures. This paper describes recent developments to increase the scope and effectiveness of the program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 2009, an outbreak of raccoon rabies in Central Park in New York City, New York, USA, infected 133 raccoons. Five persons and 2 dogs were exposed but did not become infected. A trap-vaccinate-release program vaccinated ≈500 raccoons and contributed to the end of the epizootic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper discusses a critical analysis used for a recent Recommended Practice (RP) providing an Earned Value Management (EVM) overview for projects with EVM based upon the ANSI/EIA-748 EVMS Standard. This effort is being undertaken in order to better develop RPs for the application of EVM according to the Total Cost Management (TCM) Framework. An analysis between the 32 Guidelines for the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) and the TCM Framework is also provided. The relationships between the ANSI/EIA-748 EVMS Guidelines, the NDIA intent guide, are critically analyzed and compared to the analogous processes, procedures and requirements as outlined in the TCM Framework. This paper will also cover the future development of RPs encompassing the private sector's application of EVM in performance measurement systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cost estimation methodology presented in this paper provides planning estimates for Life Extension Programs (LEPs) for the nuclear weapons managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The estimates contain planned costs, by each stockpile system, for the U.S. nuclear deterrent for 25 years. The cost model used to produce these estimates is divided into two parts: development and production. Development costs are estimated using complexity factors derived from comparisons with prior system LEPs, along with a modified Rayleigh distribution informed by historic cost actuals. Production costs are based on anticipated production schedules and quantities, along with a variation of the Crawford model for learning curves. The estimates generated with this methodology are updated and published annually in NNSA's strategic planning document called the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan (SSMP).

AB  - This paper applies the maximum-likelihood equation to a model that produces US regional household expenditure estimates using national-level data on average expenditures by type of household and regional data on the number of households by type. Empirical results follow the analytical properties of the model and demonstrate an impressive capacity to recover regional statistics. These findings are useful in applied regional studies since they demonstrate a general framework to assess the input data and the overall estimation model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Estimating import demand is particularly difficult when trade is seasonal because prices do not exist for observations with no recorded transaction. Fresh apple imports in the United Kingdom provide a perfect case of this particular problem due to periodic trade. In this study, the differenced version of the almost ideal demand system is employed for estimating import demand by source and an iterative procedure is developed for deriving choke prices (prices at which imports are zero) and import demand estimates. The appeal of this procedure is that the final estimates and choke prices are not sensitive to the starting values used for the initial estimation. When comparing the results of the choke price procedure to a more traditional approach of eliminating zeros by aggregating across countries, significant differences emerge. Results clearly show that the aggregate estimates do not adequately reflect the pattern of UK imports from seasonal suppliers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this paper we relate university licensing revenues to both university research expenditures and characteristics of the university and the university technology transfer office. We apply the Hausman-Taylor estimator for panel data with time-invariant explanatory variables and the Arellano-Bover dynamic panel model to unbalanced panels for the years 1991-2003 and balanced panels for the years 1995-2003. We find conflicting evidence regarding the short-term impacts of research expenditures on licensing revenues. On the other hand, both early initiation of technology transfer programs and staff size increase expected licensing revenues. Staff size and early entry appear to be substitutes, however. One-year lagged licensing revenue has strong predictive power for current licensing revenue. Further research is necessary to analyze changes in technology transfer office efficiency over time and the contribution of technology transfer to larger university missions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical tool that has the capability, given favorable soil properties, to improve the accuracy of soil depth estimation, compared with other commonly used methods. This study was conducted on three different physiographic regions across the southern Appalachian Mountains: the Ridge and Valley (n = 9), Cumberland Plateau (n = 6), and Allegheny Plateau (n = 6). At each site (N = 21), a 20- × 20-m measurement plot was scanned using both 200- and 400-MHz antennas to estimate average soil depth. Soil depth estimates obtained from both GPR antennas were compared with each other as well as with soil depth estimations obtained with a soil auger using a paired t test (α = 0.05). No significant differences in soil depth were observed for the 200- versus 400-MHz antennas (P = 0.9 13). Consequently, data recorded from the 400-MHz antenna were used when depth measurements between the GPR and soil auger were compared. This was done because of the smaller and lighter antenna size and better practicality (i.e., can be used by a single operator) compared with the heavier and bulky 200-MHz antenna. Across all plots (N = 21), depth estimations were shallower using a soil auger compared with estimates obtained using GPR across all plots (P = 0.0002). Results from this study demonstrate how current methods can underestimate soil depth in rocky forest soils. Depth estimations from GPR could be used to more accurately quantify site quality in the southern Appalachians by providing the precise data needed to calculate nutrient availability and water-holding capacity. Last, the reduction in size and weight of GPR antennas and computers now provides forest scientists a practical and powerful technology that should be revisited because it has been confined to very specific applications over the last 25 years.

AB  - The soil organic carbon (SOC) pool stored in subsoil horizons in forests plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Strategies are needed to increase the subsoil SOC pool in forests because the turnover time of SOC increases with increase in soil depth as subsoil SOC is chemically and physically stabilized. We compared the total SOC and total nitrogen (TN) pools, chemically and physically separated SOC fractions, and C and N pools in fine roots in a soil pedon in an oak-hickory forest type consisting of white oak (Quercus alba L.) and red oak (Quercus rubra L.) with yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) at the North Appalachian Experimental Watershed near Coshocton, Ohio, USA. The SOC pool was the highest in the A horizon (47.4 Mg ha-1) and smaller in the Bt1 (6.9 Mg ha-1) and Bt2 (6.7 Mg ha-1) horizons. The SOC and TN concentrations sharply decreased with depth. Fine root C and N pools were much larger in the A horizon (0.71 and 0.025 Mg ha 5 than in underlying horizons. Although only 22% of the SOC pool was stored below the A horizon, 58% of the chemically stabilized and 31% of the physically stabilized SOC fractions pool occurred in the subsoil horizons. Thus, studies are needed to test whether forest management can increase the stabilized SOC pool in subsoil horizons to mitigate the human-induced climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Submersed aquatic plants have a key role in maintaining functioning aquatic ecosystems through their effects on the hydrological regime, sedimentation, nutrient cycling and habitat of associated fauna. Modifications of aquatic plant communities, for example through the introduction of invasive species, can alter these functions. In the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, California, a major invasive submersed plant, Brazilian waterweed Egeria densa, has become widespread and greatly affected the functionality of the submersed aquatic plant community. Rapid assessments of the distribution and abundance of this species are therefore crucial to direct management actions early in the season. Given the E. densa bimodal growth pattern (late spring and fall growth peaks), summer assessments of this species may indicate which and where other submersed species may occur and fall assessments may indicate where this and other species may occur in the following spring, primarily because the Delta's winter water temperatures are usually insufficient to kill submersed aquatic plant species. We assessed community composition and distribution in the fall of 2007 and summer of 2008 using geostatistical analysis; and measured summer biomass, temperature, pH, salinity, and turbidity. In the fall of 2007, submersed aquatic plants covered a much higher proportion of the waterways (60.7%) than in the summer of 2008 (37.4%), with a significant overlap between the seasonal distribution of native and non-native species. Most patches were monospecific, and multispecies patches had significantly higher dominance by E. densa, co-occurring especially with Ceratophyllum demersum. As species richness of non-natives increased there was a significant decrease in richness of natives, and of native biomass. Sustained E. densa summer biomass negatively affected the likelihood of presence of Myriophyllum spicatum, Potamogeton crispus, and Elodea canadensis but not their biomass within patches. Depth, temperature and salinity were associated with biomass; however, the direction of the effect was species specific. Our results suggest that despite native and invasive non-native submersed plant species sharing available niches in the Delta, E. densa affects aquatic plant community structure and composition by facilitating persistence of some species and reducing the likelihood of establishment of other species.

AB  - A study was conducted to determine the clearance time of yellow pigments lutein and zeaxanthin in channel catfish at various temperatures. Fish of initial weight of 13.4 g were stocked into flow-through aquaria and fed daily with a pigment-enhanced diet for 11 wk when yellow color became visible in the flesh. All fish were then transferred into tanks in three recirculating systems that were assigned one of the three temperatures (10, 20, and 30 C). During the pigment clearance period, fish were fed a control diet without added pigments daily to satiation for 12 wk. Every 4 wk, fish from three randomly chosen tanks per temperature were euthanized and fillets were analyzed for yellow color intensity (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage [CIE] b*) and lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations. The b* values of fillets of fish reared at 20 and 30 C decreased linearly as time progressed. There was no significant linear regression of b* value against time for fish raised at 10 C. The rate of pigment clearance was similar for fish reared at 20 and 30 C. Results demonstrate that about 8 wk were needed for catfish to "purge most of yellow pigment at warm temperatures (20 and 30 C). A longer period of time (>12 wk) was required at 10 C.

AB  - In human-populated landscapes, dogs (Canis familiaris) are often the most abundant terrestrial carnivore. However, dogs can significantly disrupt or modify intact ecosystems well beyond the areas occupied by people. Few studies have directly quantified the environmental or economic effects of free-roaming and feral dogs. Here, we review wildlife-dog interactions and provide a case study that focuses on interactions documented from our research in Mongolia to underscore the need for studies designed to best determine how dogs affect native wildlife and especially imperiled populations. We suggest additional research, public awareness campaigns, and the exclusion of dogs from critical wildlife habitat. The application of scientific findings to management and enhanced public outreach programs will not only facilitate recovery and maintenance of wildlife populations globally but also has the potential to reduce economic losses.

AB  - Many serious ecosystem consequences of climate change will take decades or even centuries to emerge. Long-term ecological responses to global change are strongly regulated by slow processes, such as changes in species composition, carbon dynamics in soil and by long-lived plants, and accumulation of nutrient capitals. Understanding and predicting these processes require experiments on decadal time scales. But decadal experiments by themselves may not be adequate because many of the slow processes have characteristic time scales much longer than experiments can be maintained. This article promotes a coordinated approach that combines long-term, large-scale global change experiments with process studies and modeling. Long-term global change manipulative experiments, especially in high-priority ecosystems such as tropical forests and high-latitude regions, are essential to maximize information gain concerning future states of the earth system. The long-term experiments should be conducted in tandem with complementary process studies, such as those using model ecosystems, species replacements, laboratory incubations, isotope tracers, and greenhouse facilities. Models are essential to assimilate data from long-term experiments and process studies together with information from long-term observations, surveys, and space-for-time studies along environmental and biological gradients. Future research programs with coordinated long-term experiments, process studies, and modeling have the potential to be the most effective strategy to gain the best information on long-term ecosystem dynamics in response to global change.

AB  - Micronuclei (MN) and other nuclear anomalies such as nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs) are biomarkers of genotoxic events and chromosomal instability. These genome damage events can be measured simultaneously in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMNcyt) assay. The molecular mechanisms leading to these events have been investigated over the past two decades using molecular probes and genetically engineered cells. In this brief review, we summarise the wealth of knowledge currently available that best explains the formation of these important nuclear anomalies that are commonly seen in cancer and are indicative of genome damage events that could increase the risk of developmental and degenerative diseases. MN can originate during anaphase from lagging acentric chromosome or chromatid fragments caused by misrepair of DNA breaks or unrepaired DNA breaks. Malsegregation of whole chromosomes at anaphase may also lead to MN formation as a result of hypomethylation of repeat sequences in centromeric and pericentromeric DNA, defects in kinetochore proteins or assembly, dysfunctional spindle and defective anaphase checkpoint genes. NPB originate from dicentric chromosomes, which may occur due to misrepair of DNA breaks, telomere end fusions, and could also be observed when defective separation of sister chromatids at anaphase occurs due to failure of decatenation. NBUD represent the process of elimination of amplified DNA, DNA repair complexes and possibly excess chromosomes from aneuploid cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The stems and roots of the semiarid shrub guayule, Parthenium argentatum, contain a significant amount of natural rubber. Rubber accumulates in guayule when plants are vegetatively and reproductively dormant, complicating the relationship between growth/reproduction and product synthesis. To evaluate the factors regulating the partitioning of carbon to rubber, carbon assimilation and partitioning were measured in guayule plants that were grown under simulated summer- and winter-like conditions and under winter-like conditions with CO enrichment. These conditions were used to induce vegetatively active and dormant states and to increase the source strength of vegetatively dormant plants, respectively. Rates of CO assimilation, measured under growth temperatures and CO, were similar for plants grown under summer- and winter-like conditions, but were higher with elevated CO. After 5 months, plants grown under summer-like conditions had the greatest aboveground biomass, but the lowest levels of non-structural carbohydrates and rubber. In contrast, the amount of resin in the stems was similar under all growth conditions. Emission of biogenic volatile compounds was more than three-fold higher in plants grown under summer- compared with winter-like conditions. Taken together, the results show that guayule plants maintain a high rate of photosynthesis and accumulate non-structural carbohydrates and rubber in the vegetatively dormant state, but emit volatile compounds at a lower rate when compared with more vegetatively active plants. Enrichment with CO in the vegetatively dormant state increased carbohydrate content but not the amount of rubber, suggesting that partitioning of assimilate to rubber is limited by sink strength in guayule.

AB  - The effects of copper sprays on annual and polyetic progress of citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, in the presence of the Asian citrus leafminer ( Phyllocnistis citrella), were evaluated in a study conducted in a commercial orchard in northwest Paraná state, Brazil, where citrus canker is endemic. Nonlinear monomolecular, logistic and Gompertz models were fitted to monthly disease incidence data (proportion of leaves with symptoms) for each treatment for three seasons. The logistic model provided the best estimate of disease progress for all years and treatments evaluated and logistic parameter estimates were used to describe polyetic disease dynamics. Although citrus canker incidence increased during each of the seasons studied, it decreased over the whole study period, more so in copper-treated trees than in water-sprayed controls. Copper treatment reduced disease incidence compared with controls in every year, especially 2004-2005, when incidence was ca. 10-fold higher in controls than in treated plots (estimated asymptote values 0·82 and 0·07, respectively). Copper treatment also reduced estimated initial disease incidence and epidemic growth rates every year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens affect a range of ecosystems, industries, and property owners in the United States. Evaluating temporal patterns in the accumulation of these nonindigenous forest pests can inform regulatory and policy decisions. We compiled a comprehensive species list to assess the accumulation rates of nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens established in the United States. More than 450 nonindigenous insects and at least 16 pathogens have colonized forest and urban trees since European settlement. Approximately 2.5 established nonindigenous forest insects per year were detected in the United States between 1860 and 2006. At least 14% of these insects and all 16 pathogens have caused notable damage to trees. Although sap feeders and foliage feeders dominated the comprehensive list, phloem- and wood-boring insects and foliage feeders were often more damaging than expected. Detections of insects that feed on phloem or wood have increased markedly in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phytic acid (inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexa kisphosphate or InsP) is the primary storage form of phosphorus in plant seeds. The rice OsLpa1 encodes a novel protein required for wild-type levels of seed InsP and was identified from a low phytic acid ( lpa) mutant exhibiting a 45-50% reduction in seed InsP. OsLpa1 is highly conserved in plants and Arabidopsis contains two OsLpa1-like genes, At3g45090 and At5g60760. Analysis of homozygous T-DNA insertion mutants of At5g60760 revealed significantly reduced levels of seed InsP while no changes were observed in seeds of At3g45090 mutants. A double knockout mutant of At5g60760 and At3g45090 was created and its seed InsP content was similar to that of the At5g60760 mutant indicating that At3g45090 does not provide functional redundancy. OsLpa1 was confirmed to be the ortholog of At5g60760 by complementation of a knockout mutant with a cDNA clone corresponding to the largest of three alternative transcripts of OsLpa1. The spatial and temporal expression of At5g60760 during seed development is consistent with its involvement in seed InsP biosynthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Oxytetracycline (2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a major member of the tetracycline antibiotics family of which are widely administered to animals in concentrated animal feeding operations for purposes of therapeutical treatment and health protection. With the disposal of animal manure as fertilizer into agricultural land, tetracyclines enter the environment. However, tetracyclines chelate with multivalent cations and proteins, resulting in low extraction efficiencies from animal manure for tetracycline residue analysis. In this study an efficient extraction method for oxytetracycline from steer manure using methanol/water solution amended with chelating organic acid was developed for the analysis of high performance liquid chromatography. The effect of species and amount of amendment acids, shaking time, methanol/water ratio, manure weight, and repeated times of extraction was investigated. It was optimized to amend 2.5 g citric acid and 1.1 g oxalic acid with 10.0 g manure sample in a 50-ml centrifuge tube and extract with 15 ml methanol/water (9:1 in volume) by vigorously shaking for 30 min in a reciprocating shaker. After centrifugation at 11,000 rpm, supernatant is collected. Sample was extracted for a total of 3 times. The developed extraction method was further applied to extract oxytetracycline from fresh and aged cow manure, swine and poultry manure, and soil. Satisfactory recoveries ranging from (84.1 ± 2.4) % to (102.0 ± 3.1) % were obtained, demonstrating that the optimized extraction method is robust for oxytetracycline from different manure sample matrixes.

AB  - This paper describes an efficient and effective analytical scheme to first screen for 300 pesticides in fruit and vegetables samples using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a commercially enhanced product ion method. Then presumed positive extracts are analysed using a quantitative and confirmatory LC-MS/MS method optimized for 55 pesticides. A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method with acetate buffering (AOAC Official Method 2007.01) was used for sample preparation, which has been previously shown to yield high-quality results for hundreds of pesticide residues in foods. The advantages and disadvantages of both the qualitative screening and quantitative/confirmatory methods and their combination are critically discussed. No false-negatives for the 55 pesticides occurred above 10 ng g-1 for extracts analysed by both LC-MS/MS methods, and the no false-positives were encountered from the screening analysis (after analyst review) because all presumptive identifications were confirmed in the second analysis. The monitoring scheme was applied during a one-year period on 200 fruit and vegetable samples from Hungarian markets. No pesticide residues were found in half the samples, and twelve violations of European maximum residue limits were detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Juniper encroachment into shrub steppe and grassland systems is one of the most prominent changes occurring in rangelands of western North America. Most studies on juniper change are conducted over small areas, although encroachment is occurring across large regions. Development of image-based methods to assess juniper encroachment over large areas would facilitate rapid monitoring and identification of priority areas for juniper management. In this study, we fused Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper and Light Detection and Ranging (lidar)-based juniper classifications to evaluate juniper expansion patterns in the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed of southwestern Idaho. Lidar applications for characterizing juniper encroachment attributes at finer scales were also explored. The fusion-based juniper classification model performed well (83% overall accuracy). A comparison of the resulting juniper presence/absence map to a 1965 vegetation cover map indicated 85% juniper expansion, which was consistent with tree-ring data. Comparisons of current and previous canopy-cover estimates also indicated an increase in juniper density within the historically mapped juniper distribution. Percent canopy cover of juniper varied significantly with land-cover types highlighting areas where intensive juniper management might be prioritized. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El avance del Juniperus sobre las estepas arbustivas y los ecosistemas graminosos es uno de los cambios más prominentes ocurriendo actualmente en pastizales del Oeste de América del Norte. La mayoría de los estudios sobre cambios asociados al Juniperus se conducen en áreas pequeñas a pesar de que la invasión de esta especie está ocurriendo a escala de grandes regiones. El desarrollo de métodos basados en imágenes para relevar el avance del Juniperus a escala de áreas extensas facilitaría el monitoreo expeditivo y la identificación de áreas de manejo de Juniperus. En este ensayo fusionamos clasificaciones de Juniperus de imágenes Landsat 5 TM y LIDAR para evaluar los patrones de expansión del Juniperus en la cuenca experimental de Reynolds Creek del sudoeste de Idaho. Aplicaciones del LIDAR para caracterizar atributos de la invasión de Juniperus a escalas más finas también fueron exploradas. El modelo basado en la fusión de la clasificación de Juniperus tuvo un buen desempeño (83% de exactitud general). Una comparación del mapa de presencia/ausencia de Juniperus obtenido con este análisis con un mapa de cobertura de vegetación de 1965 indicó un 85% de expansión de Juniperus, patrón que fue consistente con datos de anillos de crecimiento de los árboles. La comparación de estimaciones de cobertura de canopeo actuales y pasadas también indicó un aumento en la densidad de Juniperus dentro del área de distribución histórica de Juniperus mapeada. El porcentaje de cobertura del canopeo de Juniperus varió significativamente con el tipo de cobertura del terreno remarcando áreas en las que el manejo intensivo del Juniperus podría ser priorizada.

AB  - Linear disturbances associated with on- and off-road vehicle use on rangelands has increased dramatically throughout the world in recent decades. This increase is due to a variety of factors including increased availability of all-terrain vehicles, infrastructure development (oil, gas, renewable energy, and ex-urban), and recreational activities. In addition to the direct impacts of road development, the presence and use of roads may alter resilience of adjoining areas through indirect effects such as altered site hydrologic and eolian processes, invasive seed dispersal, and sediment transport. There are few standardized methods for assessing impacts of transportation-related land-use activities on soils and vegetation in arid and semi-arid rangelands. Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (IIRH) is an internationally accepted qualitative assessment that is applied widely to rangelands. We tested the sensitivity of IIRH to impacts of roads, trails, and pipelines on adjacent lands by surveying plots at three distances from these linear disturbances. We performed tests at 16 randomly selected sites in each of three ecosystems (Northern High Plains, Colorado Plateau, and Chihuahuan Desert) for a total of 208 evaluation plots. We also evaluated the repeatability of IIRH when applied to road-related disturbance gradients. Finally, we tested extent of correlations between IIRH plot attribute departure classes and trends in a suite of quantitative indicators. Results indicated that the IIRH technique is sensitive to direct and indirect impacts of transportation activities with greater departure from reference condition near disturbances than far from disturbances. Trends in degradation of ecological processes detected with qualitative assessments were highly correlated with quantitative data. Qualitative and quantitative assessments employed in this study can be used to assess impacts of transportation features at the plot scale. Through integration with remote sensing technologies, these methods could also potentially be used to assess cumulative impacts of transportation networks at the landscape scale.

AB  - Los disturbios lineales asociados con el uso de vehículos (incluyendo vehículos todoterreno) en áreas naturales han incrementado dramáticamente en todo el mundo en décadas recientes. Esto ha sido causado por una variedad de factores que incluyen el aumento en la disponibilidad de vehículos todoterreno, la infraestructura asociada con el desarrollo (petróleo, gas, energía renovable, desarrollo ex-urbano) y actividades recreacionales. En adición a los impactos directos, la presencia y uso de estas calles puede alterar la resiliencia de áreas adyacentes a través de efectos indirectos tales como alteraciones en los procesos hidrológicos y eólicos del sitio, en la dispersión de semillas de especies invasoras, y en el transporte de sedimentos. Hay pocos métodos estandarizados para evaluar los impactos de las actividades de transporte sobre el suelo y la vegetación en pastizales áridos y semiáridos. La Interpretación de Indicadores para la Salud de los Pastizales (IIRH) es un método cualitativo que ha sido ampliamente utilizado y que ya está aceptado a nivel internacional para la evaluación de pastizales. Evaluamos la sensibilidad de IIRH a los impactos de calles, caminos y ductos en áreas adyacentes a estos disturbios, muestreando parcelas ubicadas a tres distancias de estos disturbios lineales. Hicimos esta evaluación en 16 sitios seleccionados al azar dentro de cada uno de 3 ecosistemas (las Planicies Altas del Norte, la Meseta del Colorado, y el Desierto Chihuahuense) para un total de 208 parcelas de muestreo. También evaluamos la repetibilidad de IIRH cuando es aplicado a gradientes de disturbios causados por calles y caminos. Para finalizar, examinamos qué tan correlacionadas estuvieron las evaluaciones de atributos de las parcelas con las tendencias de un grupo de indicadores cuantitativos. Los resultados indicaron que la técnica de IIRH es sensible a impactos directos e indirectos de las actividades de transporte y que la desviación a partir del estado de referencia disminuye a medida que la distancia al disturbio aumenta. Las tendencias en la degradación de procesos ecológicos detectadas con las evaluaciones cualitativas estuvieron altamente correlacionadas con los datos cuantitativos. Las evaluaciones cuantitativas y cualitativas utilizadas en este estudio pueden ser utilizadas para examinar los impactos de la infraestructura de transporte a la escala de la parcela. Por medio de la integración tecnológica de sensores remotos, estos métodos también podrían ser utilizados para examinar los impactos acumulativos de redes de transporte a la escala del paisaje.

AB  - The effect of stocking rate on forage growth has attracted much research attention in forage science. Findings show that forage growth may be affected by stocking rate, and there is a consensus that high stocking rates lead to soil compaction, which could also in turn affect forage growth because of the changing soil hydrology and increased soil impedance to forage root penetration. In this study we used a modeling approach to investigate the effect of stocking rates on the growth of sand-bluestem forage at Fort Supply, Oklahoma. The GPFARM-Range model, which was originally developed and validated for Cheyenne, Wyoming, was recalibrated and enhanced to simulate soil compaction effects on forage growth at Fort Supply. Simulations without the consideration of soil compaction effects overestimated the forage growth under high stocking rate conditions (mean bias [MBE]=-591 kg · ha-1), and the agreement between the simulated and observed forage growth was poor (Willmott's d=0.47). The implementation in the model of soil compaction effects associated with high stocking rates reduced the bias (MBE=-222 kg · ha-1) and improved the overall agreement between the observed and the simulated forage growth (d=0.68). It was concluded that forage growth under increasing soil compaction could be predicted provided such sensitivities are included in forage growth models. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El efecto de la carga animal sobre el crecimiento del forraje ha suscitado mucha investigación en el área de la ciencia del forraje. Los resultados demuestran que el crecimiento del forraje puede ser afectado por la carga animal y existe consenso de que las altas cargas animales devienen en la compactación del suelo que a su vez afecta el crecimiento del forraje mediante cambios en la hidrología edáfica y un incremento en la resistencia del suelo a la penetración de las raíces de especies forrajeras. En este ensayo, utilizamos un enfoque de modelación para investigar el efecto de la carga animal sobre el crecimiento de forraje de Andropogon sallii en Fort Supply, Oklahoma. El modelo GPFARM-Range originalmente desarrollado y validado para las condiciones de Cheyenne, Wyoming, fue re-calibrado y mejorado para simular los efectos de la compactación del suelo sobre el crecimiento del forraje en Fort Supply. Las simulaciones que no consideraron los efectos de la compactación del suelo sobreestimaron el crecimiento del forraje en condiciones de alta carga animal (sesgo promedio [MBE]=-591 kg · ha-1) y la correspondencia entre el crecimiento de forraje simulado y observado fue baja (d de Willmott=0.47). La inclusión de los efectos de la compactación del suelo en el modelo redujeron el sesgo (MBE=-222 kg · ha-1) y también mejoró la correspondencia general el crecimiento de forraje simulado y observado (d=0.68). Se concluyó que el crecimiento del forraje en condiciones de compactación creciente del suelo podría ser predicho siempre y cuando la sensibilidad del forraje a dicha compactación se incluya en los modelos de crecimiento.

AB  - Remote sensing is used to map the actual distribution of some invasive plant species, such as leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.), whereas geospatial models are used to indicate the species' potential distribution over a landscape. Geographic data layers were acquired for Crook County, Wyoming, and the potential distribution of leafy spurge presence or absence were predicted with the use of the Weed Invasion Susceptibility Prediction (WISP) model. Hyperspectral imagery and field data were acquired in 1999 over parts of the study area. Leafy spurge presence or absence was classified with the use of the Spectral Angle Mapper with a 74% overall accuracy. However, the user accuracy was 93%, showing that where leafy spurge was indicated in the image, leafy spurge was usually found at that location. With the use of Kappa analysis, there was no agreement between WISP model predictions and either the field data or the classified hyperspectral image. Kappa analysis was then used to compare predictions based on single geographic data layers, to increase the power to detect subtle relationships between independent variables and leafy spurge distribution. The WISP model was revised for leafy spurge based on the remote-sensing analyses, and only a few variables contributed to predictions of leafy spurge distribution. The revised model had significantly increased accuracy, from 52.8% to 61.3% for the field data and from 30.4% to 80.3% for the hyperspectral image classification, primarily by reducing the areas predicted to have potential for invasion. It is generally more cost effective to deal with the initial stages of invasion by only a few plants, compared to an invasion that is large enough to be detected by remote sensing. By reducing the potential area for monitoring, management of invasive plants could be performed more efficiently by field crews. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La teledetección se utiliza para mapear la distribución efectiva de algunas especies de plantas invasoras tales como la Euphorbia esula L., mientras que los modelos geoespaciales se utilizan para indicar la distribución potencial de esta especie en el paisaje. Se obtuvieron capas de datos geográficos para el condado de Crook, Wyoming, y la distribución potencial de presencia o ausencia de E. esula se predijo utilizando el modelo de Predicción de Susceptibilidad a la Invasión por Malezas (PSIM). Se obtuvieron imágenes hiperespectrales y datos de campo de 1999 de porciones del área de estudio. Se clasificó la presencia o ausencia de E.esula utilizando el Mapeador Espectral de Angulo con un 74% de exactitud general. Sin embargo, la exactitud del observador fue del 93% demostrando que donde E.esula era indicada en el mapa, generalmente era encontrada en el terreno. El uso de la Prueba de Kappa demostró la ausencia de correspondencia entre las predicciones del modelo PSIM y los datos de terreno o la imagen hyperespectral clasificada. La Prueba de Kappa se utilizó luego para comparar predicciones basadas en capas geográficas individuales con la finalidad de aumentar el poder de detección de relaciones sutiles entre las variables independientes y la distribución de E. esula. Se realizó una revisión del modelo PSIM para ajustarlo a E. esula basado en el análisis de teledetección, y solamente unas pocas variables contribuyeron a predecir la distribución de E. esula. La exactitud del modelo revisado aumentó significativamente de 52.8% a 61.3% para datos de campo y de 30.4% a 80.3% para la clasificación hiperespectral de imágenes, debido principalmente a la reducción de aéreas con potencial predicho de invasión. Generalmente es más económico intervenir durante los estadíos tempranos en los que la invasión consiste de unas pocas plantas comparado con una invasión que es lo suficientemente grande como para ser detectada mediante teledetección. La reducción del área potencial de monitoreo, permitiría a los equipos de campo realizar un manejo más eficiente de plantas invasoras. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) is an exotic annual grass invading western rangelands. Invasion by medusahead is problematic because it decreases livestock forage production, degrades wildlife habitat, reduces biodiversity, and increases fire frequency. Revegetation of medusahead-invaded sagebrush steppe is needed to increase ecosystem and economic productivity. Most efforts to revegetate medusahead-infested plant communities are unsuccessful because perennial bunchgrasses rarely establish after medusahead control. The effects of prescribed burning (spring or fall), fall imazapic application, and their combinations were evaluated for medusahead control and the establishment of seeded large perennial bunchgrasses. One growing season after treatments were applied, desert wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum [Fisch. ex Link] Schult.) and squirreltail (Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey) were drill seeded into treatment plots, except for the control treatment. Vegetation characteristics were measured for 2 yr postseeding (second and third year post-treatment). Medusahead was best controlled when prescribed burned and then treated with imazapic (P<0.05). These treatments also had greater large perennial bunchgrass cover and density compared to other treatments (P<0.05). The prescribed burned followed by imazapic application had greater than 10- and 8-fold more perennial bunchgrass cover and density than the control treatment, respectively. Prescribed burning, regardless of season, was not effective at controlling medusahead or promoting establishment of perennial bunchgrasses. The results of this study question the long-term effectiveness of using imazapic in revegetation efforts of medusahead-infested sagebrush steppe without first prescribed burning the infestation. Effective control of medusahead appears to be needed for establishment of seeded perennial bunchgrasses. The results of this study demonstrate that seeding desert wheatgrass and squirreltail can successfully revegetate rangeland infested with medusahead when medusahead has been controlled with prescribed fire followed by fall application of imazapic.

AB  - Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski es una gramínea anual exótica que está invadiendo los pastizales del oeste de los Estados Unidos. La invasión por esta especie es problemática porque genera una reducción en la producción de forraje para el ganado, degrada el hábitat para la fauna silvestre, genera una reducción en la biodiversidad, y promueve un incremento en la frecuencia de fuegos. La revegetación de estepas de Artemisia tridentata invadidas por T. caput-medusae es necesaria a fin de incrementar la productividad biológica y económica del ecosistema. La mayoría de los esfuerzos para revegetar comunidades vegetales invadidas por T. caput-medusae fracasan dado que las gramíneas perennes nativas rara vez se establecen luego del control de este especie invasora. Se evaluaron los efectos de quemas prescriptas (primavera u otoño), aplicación de un herbicida en otoño (imazapic), y la combinación de ambas sobre el control de T. caput-medusae y el establecimiento de gramíneas altas perennes sembradas. Una temporada luego de la aplicación de los tratamientos se sembraron Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult y Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey en las parcelas tratadas exceptuando el control. Las características de la vegetación se midieron en el segundo y tercer año post-tratamiento. El mejor control de T. caput-medusae se logró en las parcelas que recibieron quema prescripta seguida de imazapic (P<0.05). Estos tratamientos también tuvieron mayor cobertura y densidad de gramíneas altas perennes comparado con los otros tratamientos (P<0.05). El tratamiento de quema prescripta seguida de la aplicación de imazapic tuvo 10 y 8 veces más cobertura y densidad de gramíneas perennes, respectivamente, que las parcelas de control. La quema prescripta en cualquiera de las dos temporadas ensayadas no fue efectiva en el control de T. caput-medusae ni en el establecimiento de gramíneas perennes nativas. Los resultados de este ensayo cuestionan la efectividad de largo plazo del uso de imazapic sin una quema prescripta previa en proyectos de revegetación de estepas de A. tridentata invadidos por T. caput-medusae. Aparentemente, es necesario el control efectivo de T. caput-medusae para lograr el establecimiento de gramíneas perennes sembradas. Los resultados de este ensayo demuestran que se pueden revegetar exitosamente pastizales invadidos por T. caput-medusae mediante la siembra de Agropyron desertorum y Elymus elymoides cuando el T. caput-medusae es controlado con una quema prescripta seguida de una aplicación de imazapic.

AB  - Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is an aggressive exotic species that has been successfully suppressed in a variety of situations using classical biological control (flea beetles; Aphthona spp.). This 9-yr study investigated patterns of vegetation responses following significant reductions in leafy spurge cover and density by flea beetles in southeastern Montana. We hypothesized that the vegetation following leafy spurge suppression would be dominated by species and plant functional groups able to persist through heavy infestations. Flea beetles were first released in 1998, and by 2006 leafy spurge foliar cover was reduced 80% to 90% compared to 1998 values on both release and nonrelease plots. Although total cover of the resident vegetation, excluding leafy spurge, increased 72% to 88%, relative cover of the functional groups (native forbs, native sedges, native grasses, and nonnative species) was similar among years and between release and nonrelease plots. Mean diversity and mean species richness values did not differ among years or between release and nonrelease plots (P<0.05), but mean diversity on both release and nonrelease plots was significantly less than noninfested plots, although richness was similar (P<0.05). Indicator species analysis revealed that non-native Poa spp. replaced leafy spurge as the dominant species on release and nonrelease plots. Conversely, noninfested plots contained a variety of native species with high indicator values. Although total abundance of the resident vegetation in 2006 was significantly greater than 1998, plant species composition and relative cover showed little change for the duration of the study. Failure of the native vegetation to recover to a community that approached nearby noninfested conditions may be attributed to a variety of interacting scenarios, some of which may be ameliorated by treating infestations as soon as possible to avoid long-term residual effects.

AB  - El euforbio de montaña (Euphorbia esula L.) es una especie exótica agresiva que ha sido exitosamente suprimida en un gran variedad de situaciones usando el clásico control biológico (flea beetles; Aphthona spp.). Durante estos 9 años de estudio, investigamos los patrones de la respuesta de la vegetación después de una reducción significativa en la cobertura y densidad del euforbio de montaña mediante el uso de escarabajos en el sureste de Montana. Nuestra hipótesis era que especies y grupos de plantas funcionales capaces de persistir a través de graves infestaciones dominarían la vegetación después de la supresión de euforbio de montaña. Los escarabajos se liberaron por primera vez en 1998 y para el 2006 la cobertura foliar del euforbio de montaña se había reducido en un 80% a 90% comparada con los valores de 1998 en parcelas donde se liberaron y donde no se liberaron los escarabajos. Aunque la cobertura total del la vegetación residente excluyendo euforbio de montaña, incrementó de 72% a 88%, la cobertura relativa de los grupos funcionales (herbáceas nativas, juncias nativas, pastos nativos y especies no nativas) fue similar entre ambos y entre parcelas donde fueron liberadas y donde no fueron liberadas. La media de la diversidad y los valores de la media de la riqueza no fueron diferentes entre años entre parcelas liberadas o no liberadas (P<0.05), pero la media de la diversidad en ambos parcelas liberadas y no liberadas fue significativamente menor que en parcelas no infestadas, aunque la riqueza fue similar (P<0.05). Análisis de las especies claves revelaron que especies no nativas Poa spp. reemplazaron euforbio de montaña como la especie dominante en parcelas donde hubo y no hubo liberaciones. Por el contrario parcelas no infectadas contuvieron una variedad de especies nativas con altos valores indicadores. Aunque la abundancia total de la vegetación nativa en 2006 fue significativamente mayor que en el 1998, la composición de las especies de plantas y la cobertura relativa mostraron un ligero cambio durante la duración del estudio. El fracaso de la vegetación nativa para recubrir la comunidad que se acercaba a las inmediaciones de las parcelas no infestadas puede atribuirse a la variedad de interacciones de las circunstancias, algunos de las cuales pueden mejorarse tratando las infestaciones lo antes posible para evitar efectos residuales a largo plazo.

AB  - Although summer roosting by Lasionycteris noetivagans (Silver-haired Bats) has been studied in various ecological regions of North America, no quantitative studies have examined winter roost selection. We radiotracked 11 bats to 31 day-roosts during winter in forests of the Ouachita Mountains, AR. We quantified roost structures and examined the association between roosts and forest stands. We also examined effects of temperature on roost use. Ninety percent of roosts were in trees (5 species): 55% of all roosts were under loose bark on the bole of live overstory Pinus echinata (Shortleaf Pine), 3% of roosts were in a rock outcrop, and 6% were at ground level (under a tree root or in a cavity at the base of a live pine). Bats selected pine or pine-hardwoods stands >50 years old, and used forest stands 15-50 years of age less than their availability. Roost locations were influenced by temperature and solar radiation; most (90%) roosts were on southern topographic aspects, and bats roosted in the rock outcrop or on the ground on colder days (<5 °C). Retaining open pine and hardwood stands >50 years old on south slopes would likely maintain roosting habitat for wintering Silver-haired Bats in the Ouachita Mountains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although many leaching methods have been used for various purposes by research groups, industries, and regulators, there is still a need for a simple but comprehensive approach to leaching coal utilization by-products and other granular materials in order to estimate potential release of heavy metals when these materials are exposed to natural fluids. A serial batch characterization method has been developed at the National Energy Technology Laboratory that can be completed in 2–3 days to serve as a screening tool. The procedure provides an estimate of cumulative metals release under varying pH conditions, and leaching the sample at increasing liquid/solid ratios can indicate the rate at which this process will occur. This method was applied to eight fly ashes, adapted to the acidic or alkaline nature of the ash. The leachates were analyzed for 30 elements. The test was run in quadruplicate, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was used as a measure of method reproducibility. RSD values are between 0.02 and 0.70, with the majority of the RSD values less than 0.3. The serial batch leaching procedure was developed as a simple, relatively quick, yet comprehensive method of estimating the risk of heavy metal release from fly ash when it is exposed to natural fluids, such as acid rain or groundwater. Tests on a random selection of coal fly ashes have shown it to be a reasonably precise method for estimating the availability and long-term release of cations from fly ash. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Climatic changes are predicted to significantly affect the frequency and severity of disturbances that shape forest ecosystems. We provide a synthesis of climate change effects on native bark beetles, important mortality agents of conifers in western North America. Because of differences in temperature-dependent life-history strategies, including cold-induced mortality and developmental timing, responses to warming will differ among and within bark beetle species. The success of bark beetle populations will also be influenced indirectly by the effects of climate on community associates and host-tree vigor, although little information is available to quantify these relationships. We used available population models and climate forecasts to explore the responses of two eruptive bark beetle species. Based on projected warming, increases in thermal regimes conducive to population success are predicted for Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby) and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, although there is considerable spatial and temporal variability. These predictions from population models suggest a movement of temperature suitability to higher latitudes and elevations and identify regions with a high potential for bark beetle outbreaks and associated tree mortality in the coming century.

AB  - The efficacy of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) against the early stages of an experimental acute infection of Flavobacterium columnare in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, was evaluated. Fish were experimentally challenged by waterborne exposure for 2 h to F. columnare after cutaneous abrasion, and treated with KMnO4 at 2.0 mg L−1 above the KMnO4 demand at 0, 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge for 24 h. Challenged non-treated fish acted as a positive control and non-challenged non-treated fish acted as a negative control. Fish challenged and treated with KMnO4 at 0, 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge had mortalities of 26%, 63%, 64% and 83% respectively. The mortality of challenged fish treated with KMnO4 at 0 h postchallenge (26%) was significantly less than the positive control (77%). The mortalities of challenged fish treated at 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge were not significantly different from the positive control fish. The results suggest that KMnO4 has a clear therapeutic value in early stages of columnaris infection but limited therapeutic value once the infection has progressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - National forest inventories (NFIs) have a long history, although their current major features date only to the early years of the twentieth century. Recent issues such as concern over the effects of acid deposition, biodiversity, forest sustainability, increased demand for forest data, international reporting requirements and climate change have led to the expansion of NFIs to include more variables, greater diversity in sampling protocols and a generally more holistic approach. This review focuses on six selected topics: (1) a brief historical review; (2) a summary of common structural features of NFIs; (3) a brief review of international reporting requirements using NFI data with an emphasis on approaches to harmonized estimation; (4) an overview of inventory estimation methods that can be enhanced with remotely sensed data; (5) an overview of nearest neighbors prediction and estimation techniques; and (6) a brief overview of several emerging issues including carbon inventories in developing countries and use of lidar data. Although general inventory principles will remain unchanged, sampling designs, plot configurations and measurement protocols will require modification before they can be applied in countries with tropical forests. Technological advances, particularly in the use of remotely sensed data, including lidar data, have led to greater inventory efficiencies, better maps and accurate estimation for small areas.

AB  - Tremendous advances in the construction and assessment of forest attribute maps and related spatial products have been realized in recent years, partly as a result of the use of remotely sensed data as an information source. This review focuses on the current state of techniques for the construction and assessment of remote sensing-based maps and addresses five topic areas: statistical classification and prediction techniques used to construct maps and related spatial products, accuracy assessment methods, map-based statistical inference, and two emerging topics, change detection and use of lidar data. Multiple general conclusions were drawn from the review: (1) remotely sensed data greatly contribute to the construction of forest attribute maps and related spatial products and to the reduction of inventory costs; (2) parametric prediction techniques, accuracy assessment methods and probability-based (design-based) inferential methods are generally familiar and mature, although inference is surprisingly seldom addressed; (3) non-parametric prediction techniques and model-based inferential methods lack maturity and merit additional research; (4) change detection methods, with their great potential for adding a spatial component to change estimates, will mature rapidly; and (5) lidar applications, although currently immature, add an entirely new dimension to remote sensing research and will also mature rapidly. Crucial forest sustainability and climate change applications will continue to push all aspects of remote sensing to the forefront of forest research and operations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metals contamination from mining activities is a persistent problem affecting aquatic ecosystems throughout mining districts in the western USA. The Gold Creek drainage in northern Idaho has a history of mining within its headwaters and contains elevated sediment concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn. To determine system-wide impacts of increased metals, we measured concentrations of metals in water, sediment, and benthic macroinvertebrate tissues and related them to whole-body fish tissues and histopathological alterations in native salmonids. Water concentrations were higher than those in reference areas, but were below water quality criteria for protection of aquatic biota for most of the study area. Sediment and benthic macroinvertebrate tissue concentrations for all metals were significantly higher at all sites compared with the reference site. Fish tissues were significantly higher for all metals below mine sites compared with the reference site, but only Cd and Pb were higher in fish tissues in the furthest downstream reach in the Gold Creek Delta. Metals concentrations in benthic macroinvertebrate tissues and fish tissues were strongly correlated, suggesting a transfer of metals through a dietary pathway. The concentrations within sediments and biota were similar to those reported in other studies in which adverse effects to salmonids occurred. We observed histopathological changes in livers of bull trout, including inflammation, necrosis, and pleomorphism. Our study is consistent with other work in which sediment-driven exposure can transfer up the food chain and may cause adverse impacts to higher organisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Two experiments were conducted to evaluate various ingredient combinations in a 28% or 32% protein diet for optimum performance of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. All diets contained soybean meal and corn, but with or without cottonseed meal, wheat middlings or fish meal (FM). Channel catfish fingerlings were stocked into 0.04 ha earthen ponds at 18 530 fish ha−1. Fish were fed one of eight diets once daily to apparent satiation for two growing seasons. Results demonstrated that the dietary ingredient composition used had significant effects on fish performance, but magnitude of differences was relatively small. Overall, diets containing FM resulted in greater weight gain (Experiments 1 and 2) and lower feed conversion ratio (Experiment 1) than fish fed all-plant diets. However, certain combinations of plant ingredients provided the similar fish growth as some diets containing FM. There were no significant differences in weight gain between fish fed soybean meal–corn or soybean meal–corn–wheat middlings-based diets with cottonseed meal or FM. The use of wheat middlings in the diet had no significant effects on fish production characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We investigated soil compaction and hydrologic responses from mechanically shredding Utah juniper (Juniperus ostesperma [Torr.] Little) to control fuels in a sagebrush/bunchgrass plant community (Artemisia nova A. Nelson, Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young/Pseudoroegneria spicata [Pursh] A. Löve, Poa secunda J. Presl) on a gravelly loam soil with a 15% slope in the Onaqui Mountains of Utah. Rain simulations were applied on 0.5-m² runoff plots at 64 mm · h-1 (dry run: soil initially dry) and 102 mm · h-1 (wet run: soil initially wet). Runoff and sediment were collected from runoff plots placed in five blocks, each containing four microsites (juniper mound, shrub mound, vegetation-free or bare interspace, and grass interspace) with undisturbed or tracked treatments for each microsite type and a residue-covered treatment for grass and bare interspace microsites. Soil penetration resistance was measured at the hill slope scale, and canopy and ground cover were measured at the hill slope and runoff plot scale. Although shredding trees at a density of 453 trees · ha-1 reduced perennial foliar cover by 20.5%, shredded tree residue covered 40% of the ground surface and reduced non-foliar-covered bare ground and rock by 17%. Tire tracks from the shredding operation covered 15% of the hill slope and increased penetration resistance. For the wet run, infiltration rates of grass interspaces were significantly decreased (39.8 vs. 66.1 mm · h-1) by tire tracks, but infiltration rates on juniper mounds and bare interspaces were unchanged. Bare interspace plots covered with residue had significantly higher infiltration rates (81.9 vs. 26.7 mm · h-1 ) and lower sediment yields (38.6 vs. 313 g · m-2 ) than those without residue. Because hydrologic responses to treatments are site- and scale-dependent, determination of shredding effects on other sites and at hill slope or larger scales will best guide management actions (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Se investigó la compactación del suelo y las respuestas hidrológicas generadas por la trituración mecánica de Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little realizada para controlar biomasa combustible en una comunidad arbustivo-graminosa de Artemisia nova A. Nelson, Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young/Pseudoroegneria spicata [Pursh] A. Löve, y Poa secunda J. Presl en un sitio franco-pedregoso con un 15% de pendiente en las montañ as de Onaqui en Utah. Se utilizaron simuladores de lluvia en parcelas de escurrimiento de 0.5m² a razón de 64mm · h-1 (simulación en seco: el suelo inicialmente seco) y 102 mm · h-1 (simulación húmeda: el suelo inicialmente húmedo). Se recolectó el agua de escurrimiento y el sedimento de las parcelas de escurrimiento ubicadas en cinco bloques cada uno de los cuales contenía cuatro micrositios (montículo de Juniperus, montículo de arbustos, espacios entre montículos sin vegetación o con suelo desnudo, y espacios entre pastos) con tratamientos sin disturbio o con huellas de trituradora para cada tipo de micrositio y un tratamiento de cobertura de residuos de espacios de suelo desnudo. La resistencia del suelo a la penetración se midió a la escala de ladera de montañ a y la cobertura de canopeo y del suelo se midió a escala de ladera de montañ a y de parcela. Si bien la trituración de árboles con una densidad de 453 plantas · ha-1 redujo la cobertura foliar perenne en un 20.5%, el residuo de trituración cubrió un 40% de la superficie del suelo y redujo el suelo desnudo y roca en un 17%. Las huellas de la trituradora cubrieron un 15% de la ladera de montañ a e incrementaron la resistencia a la penetración. Para las simulaciones de lluvia con suelos húmedos, la infiltración de espacios entre pastos decreció significativamente (39.8 vs. 66.1 mm · h-1) debido a las huellas de las cubiertas de la trituradora, pero las tasas de infiltración sobre montículos de Juniperus y en espacios de suelo desnudo no presentaron cambios. Los espacios entre montículos con suelo desnudo cubiertos con residuo tuvieron tasas de infiltración significativamente más altas (81.9 vs. 26.7 mm · h-1) y producción de sedimentos más baja que aquellos sin residuos. Dado que las respuestas hidrológicas a los tratamientos son sitio- y escala-dependientes, la determinación del efecto de triturado en otros sitios y otras laderas o a escalas superiores deberían guiar las acciones de manejo.

AB  - Seeding rangeland following wildfire is a central tool managers use to stabilize soils and inhibit the spread of invasive plants. Rates of successful seeding on arid rangeland, however, are low. The objective of this study was to determine the degree to which water availability, invasive plant abundance, and seeding technology influence postfire seedling establishment. Across four fire complexes, whole plots were either seeded using a rangeland drill, seeded by hand where seeds could be placed at an exact depth, or left as unseeded controls. Irrigation and weeding treatments were applied to subplots within whole plots in an incomplete factorial design. In three of the four fires, seeding method was the single factor limiting establishment with seedling density over sevenfold higher in the hand-seeded compared to the drill-seeded treatments. In contrast to our hypotheses, water and weeding had no positive effect on seedling establishment in any of the four fires; however, background weed density was relatively low. The native community recovered at all sites with minimal bunchgrass mortality. These results strongly suggest a need for a decision framework that evaluates postfire seeding needs relative to natural recovery. Based on these initial results, it appears modest improvements in seeding technology may yield substantial increases in seeding success. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La siembra en pastizales después de haberse dado una quema no controlada es una herramienta central que los manejadores usan para estabilizar el suelo e inhibir la expansión de plantas invasivas. Sin embargo, las tasas de siembras exitosas en pastizales áridos, son bajas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el grado al cual la disponibilidad de agua, abundancia de plantas invasoras y la tecnología de siembra influencian el establecimiento de plántulas después de la ocurrencia del fuego. A través de cuatro complejos de incendios, se sembraron parcelas enteras, ya sea usando una sembradora de pastos o sembradas a mano donde las semillas podrían ser colocadas a una profundidad exacta o utilizar controles sin siembra. Tratamientos de riego y escarda fueron aplicados a sub-parcelas dentro de las parcelas en un diseño factorial, en tres de los cuatro incendios, el método de siembra fue el único factor que limitó el establecimiento, con una densidad de siembra de 7 veces mayor en parcelas sembradas a mano comparadas con las sembradas con la sembradora de pastos. En contraste con nuestras hipótesis, agua y escarda no tuvieron un efecto positivo en el establecimiento de plántulas en ninguno de los cuatro incendios; sin embargo, la densidad de las malezas fue relativamente baja. La comunidad nativa recubrió todos los sitios con una mínima mortalidad de pastos amacollados. Estos resultados sugieren fuertemente la necesidad por un marco de decisión que evalúe las necesidades del establecimiento de siembras después de la ocurrencia de incendios relativas a la recuperación natural. Basado en estos resultados iniciales, parece que modestas mejoras en la tecnología de siembra pueden producir un aumento substancial en el éxito de siembra. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Interference from crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum [L.] Gaertn.) seedlings is considered a major obstacle to native species establishment in rangeland ecosystems; however, estimates of interference at variable seedling densities have not been defined fully. We conducted greenhouse experiments using an addition-series design to characterize interference between crested wheatgrass and four key native species. Crested wheatgrass strongly interfered with the aboveground growth of Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young), rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa [Pall. ex Pursh] G. L. Nesom & Baird subsp. consimilis [Greene] G. L. Nesom & Baird), and to a lesser extent with bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata [Pursh] A. Löve). Alternatively, bottlebrush squirreltail (Elymus elymoides [Raf.] Swezey subsp. californicus [J. G. Sm.] Barkworth) and crested wheatgrass had similar effects on each other's growth, and interference ratios were near 1.0. Results indicate that the native grasses more readily establish in synchrony with crested wheatgrass than these native shrubs, but that once established, the native shrubs are more likely to coexist and persist with crested wheatgrass because of high niche differentiation (e.g., not limited by the same resource). Results also suggest that developing strategies to minimize interference from crested wheatgrass seedlings emerging from seed banks will enhance the establishment of native species seeded into crested wheatgrass-dominated communities. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La interferencia por parte de plántulas de agropiro crestado (Agropyron cristatum [L.] Gaertn.) se considera un obstáculo mayor para el establecimiento de especies nativas en ecosistemas de pastizal natural; sin embargo, las estimaciones de interferencia con densidades variables de plántulas no han sido definidas con precisión. Se condujo un experimento de invernáculo utilizando un diseño de series de adición para caracterizar la interferencia entre agropiro crestado y cuatro especies nativas clave. Se observó una interferencia marcada del agropiro crestado sobre el crecimiento aéreo de Artemisia tridentata Nutt. subsp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young, Ericameria nauseosa (Pall. ex Pursh) G. L. Nesom & Baird subsp. consimilis (Greene) G. L. Nesom & Baird, y en menor medida con Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) A. Löve. Por otra parte, Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey subsp. californicus (J. G. Sm.) Barkworth y el agropiro crestado tuvieron efectos recíprocos similares sobre el crecimiento de cada uno, y la proporción de interferencia fue cercana a 1.0. Los resultados indican que los pastos nativos se establecen con mayor facilidad que los arbustos nativos en sincronía con el agropiro crestado, pero que una vez establecidos, hay mayor probabilidad de que los arbustos nativos coexistan y persistan con el agropiro crestado debido a la diferenciación de nichos (ej., no están limitados por el mismo recurso). Los resultados también sugieren que el desarrollo de estrategias para minimizar la interferencia por parte de plántulas de agropiro crestado provenientes de bancos de semillas mejorará el establecimiento de especies nativas inter-sembradas en comunidades dominadas por el agropiro crestado.

AB  - Dominant plant species are often used as indicators of site potential in forest and rangelands. However, subspecies of dominant vegetation often indicate different site characteristics and, therefore, may be more useful indicators of plant community potential and provide more precise information for management. Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) occurs across large expanses of the western United States. Common subspecies of big sagebrush have considerable variation in the types of sites they occupy, but information that quantifies differences in their vegetation characteristics is lacking. Consequently, wildlife and land management guidelines frequently do not differentiate between subspecies of big sagebrush. To quantify vegetation characteristics between two common subspecies of big sagebrush, we sampled 106 intact big sagebrush plant communities. Half of the sampled plant communities were Wyoming big sagebrush (A. tridentata subsp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S. L. Welsh) plant communities, and the other half were mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata subsp. vaseyana [Rydb.] Beetle) plant communities. In general, mountain big sagebrush plant communities were more diverse and had greater vegetation cover, density, and biomass production than Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities. Sagebrush cover was, on average, 2.4-fold higher in mountain big sagebrush plant communities. Perennial forb density and cover were 3.8- and 5.6-fold greater in mountain compared to Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities. Total herbaceous biomass production was approximately twofold greater in mountain than Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities. The results of this study suggest that management guidelines for grazing, wildlife habitat, and other uses should recognize widespread subspecies as indicators of differences in site potentials. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Las especies de plantas dominantes se usan frecuentemente como indicadores de potencial en sitios de bosques y pastizales. Sin embargo, las subespecies de vegetación dominante a menudo indican diferentes características y entonces, pueden ser indicadores más útiles del potencial de una comunidad de plantas, ya que dan información más precisa para su manejo. Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) se encuentra presente en grandes extensiones a través del oeste de Estados Unidos. Especies comunes de big sagebrush tienen considerables variaciones en cuanto al tipo de lugares en las que están presentes, sin embargo, es escasa la información que cuantifique estas diferencias en cuanto a sus características vegetativas. En consecuencia, las directrices para el manejo de fauna y de la tierra no hacen diferencia entre subespecies de big sagebrush. Para cuantificar las características vegetativas entre dos subespecies comunes de big sagebrush, obtuvimos muestras de 106 plantas de comunidades intactas de big sagebrush. La mitad de las plantas muestreadas se obtuvieron de comunidades de Wyoming big sagebrush (A. tridentata subsp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S. L. Welsh) y la otra mitad se seleccionó de una comunidad de mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata subsp. vaseyana [Rydb.] Beetle). La cobertura de Sagebrush fue 2.4 veces mayor en promedio en las comunidades de mountain big sagebrush. La densidad y cobertura de herbáceas perennes fue 3.8 y 5.6 veces mayor en mountain sagebrush comparada con las comunidades de Wyoming big sagebrush. La biomasa total producida por las herbáceas fue aproximadamente 2 veces mayor en comunidades de plantas de mountain big sagebrush que en las comunidades de Wyoming big sagebrush. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que las directrices para el manejo de pastoreo, fauna y otros usos deben reconocer la amplia variabilidad de subespecies como indicadores en sitios con diferentes potenciales.

AB  - Comparisons of stocking rates across sites can be facilitated by calculating grazing pressure. We used peak standing crop and stocking rates from six studies in the North American Great Plains (Cheyenne, Wyoming; Cottonwood, South Dakota; Hays, Kansas; Nunn, Colorado; Streeter, North Dakota; and Woodward, Oklahoma) to calculate a grazing pressure index and develop relationships for harvest efficiency, utilization, grazing efficiency, and animal performance and production. Average grazing pressures for heavy, moderate, and light stocking across the study sites were 40, 24, and 14 animal unit days · Mg-1, respectively. These grazing pressures resulted in average harvest efficiency values of 38%, 24%, and 14% and grazing efficiencies of 61%, 49%, and 39% for heavy, moderate, and light stocking rates, respectively. Utilization increased quadratically as grazing pressure index increased, whereas grazing and harvest efficiencies exhibited a linear increase with grazing pressure. The latter indicates that nonlivestock forage losses (e.g., weathering, senescence, wildlife, insects) were disproportional across stocking rates. Average daily gain of livestock decreased linearly as grazing pressure index increased across study sites. Prediction equations reaffirm assumptions of 50% grazing efficiency and 25% harvest efficiency associated with moderate stocking. Novel here, however, is that harvest and grazing efficiencies increased at high grazing pressures and decreased at low grazing pressures. Use of grazing pressure index to ''standardize'' stocking rates across rangeland ecosystems in the North American Great Plains should improve communication among scientists, resource managers, and the public, and thus better achieve both production and conservation goals on these lands.

AB  - La estimación de la presión de pastoreo puede facilitar la comparación de carga animal entre sitios. Se utilizaron datos de máxima biomasa aérea en pie y carga animal de seis ensayos realizados en las Planicies Centrales de América del Norte (Cheyenne, WY; Cottonwood, SD; Hays, KS; Nunn, CO; Streeter, ND; y Woodward, OK) para calibrar un índice de presión de pastoreo y desarrollar relaciones de eficiencia de cosecha, utilización, eficiencia de pastoreo, y performance y producción animal. Las presiones de pastoreo promedio para cargas altas, moderadas, y leves en todos los sitios fueron de 40, 24, y 14 UAD·Mg-1, respectivamente. Estas presiones de pastoreo resultaron en valores de eficiencia de cosecha promedio de 38, 24, y 14% y eficiencias de pastoreo de 61, 49, y 39% para cargas altas, moderadas, y leves, respectivamente. Aumentos en el índice de presión de pastoreo estuvieron asociados a un incremento cuadrático de la utilización, mientras que las eficiencias de pastoreo y de cosecha exhibieron un incremento lineal con el aumento de presión de pastoreo. Esto último indica que las pérdidas de forraje no debidas al ganado (ej., maduración, senescencia, fauna, insectos) fue desproporcional para las diferentes cargas animales. La ganancia de peso promedio del ganado decreció de modo lineal a medida que aumentó el índice de presión de pastoreo en los diferentes sitios. Las ecuaciones predictivas reafirman los supuestos del 50% de eficiencia de pastoreo y el 25% de eficiencia de cosecha asociadas con el pastoreo moderado. Lo nuevo de este análisis es que las eficiencias de cosecha y pastoreo aumentaron con cargas altas y disminuyeron con cargas leves. El uso de índices de presión de pastoreo para ''estandarizar'' la carga animal en todos los ecosistemas de pastizales naturales de las Planicies Centrales de América del Norte debería facilitar la comunicación entre investigadores, técnicos, y el público para mejorar el logro de las metas de producción y conservación de estas tierras.

AB  - Increases in Kentucky bluegrass and smooth bromegrass on northern Great Plains rangelands have the potential to negatively impact ecosystem function, lower plant diversity, and alter seasonal forage distribution, but control strategies are lacking in the region. A project was initiated on a heavily invaded 16-ha grassland that had not been grazed or hayed for at least 20 yr. Five restoration treatments and a control were initiated in 2003 on communities dominated by 1) smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), 2) Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), 3) warm-season native grasses, 4) a mix of introduced species, and 5) smooth bromegrass and Kentucky bluegrass. Restoration treatments were 1) late-April burn, 2) late-April burn followed by imazapic at 511.62 mL ai · ha-1, 3) imazapic only at the same rate, 4) mowing, 5) mowing followed by litter removal, and 6) control. We found that treatment responses were affected by target species, community category, and year. Generally, burning followed by the herbicide imazapic reduced Kentucky bluegrass in the species composition, but smooth brome was reduced by mowing followed by raking. Burning followed by imazapic reduced live grass biomass in all community categories except the native the year following treatment, but by the third year of the study live grass biomass was maintained across all treatments. In the third year of the study, responses of Kentucky bluegrass, other invasive species, and native grasses to restoration treatment differed depending on community. The use of burning plus imazapic was promising for control of Kentucky bluegrass but its use by producers may be limited by yield reductions in early years. Our data suggest management strategies should vary depending on whether the goal is to reduce one or several invaders, specific invader identity, and community type in which the invader is growing. We also found that the most effective strategy was an adaptive management approach, one where treatments are chosen in response to changes in community composition and depending on resource conditions.

AB  - El aumento de Poa pratensis y Bromus inermis Leyss en los pastizales de la región norte de las planicies centrales de los EE.UU. podría tener un impacto negativo sobre las funciones del ecosistema, reducir la diversidad vegetal, y alterar la distribución estacional de forraje, sin embargo no existen estrategias de control en la región. Se inició un proyecto en una pradera intensamente invadida de 16 ha que no había sido pastoreada ni henificada por 20 años. Cinco tratamientos de restauración se iniciaron en 2003 en comunidades dominadas por 1) B. inermis, 2) P. pratensis, 3) pastos megatérmicos nativos, 4) una mezcla de especies introducidas, y 5) B. inermis y P. pratensis. Los tratamientos de restauración fueron 1) quema hacia finales de abril, 2) quema hacia finales de abril seguida por imazapic a razón de 17.3 oz ia ha-1, 3) imazapic utilizando la misma dosis, 4) corte, 5) corte seguido por la remoción de broza, y 6) control. La repuesta a los tratamientos fue afectada por la especie objetivo, la categoría de comunidad vegetal y el año. En general, las quemas seguidas por la aplicación del herbicida imazapic redujeron P. pratensis en la composición de especies, sin embargo B. inermis se redujo con corte seguido de rastrillado. La aplicación de quema seguida por imazapic redujo la biomasa viva de pastos en el año siguiente a la aplicación del tratamiento en todas las categorías de comunidad vegetal excepto en la comunidad nativa, sin embargo para el tercer año del ensayo la biomasa viva semantuvo en todos los tratamientos. En el tercer año del ensayo, la respuesta de P. pratensis, otras especies invasoras, y pastos nativos al tratamiento de restauración dependió de la comunidad vegetal. La aplicación de quema seguida de imazapir fue promisoria, pero su uso por parte de productores podría estar limitado por la reducción de rinde en los años iniciales. Nuestros datos sugieren que las estrategias de manejo deberían variar dependiendo de si la meta es reducir una o varias especies invasoras, de la identidad de la especie invasora, y del tipo de comunidad en el que crece la especie invasora. También encontramos que la estrategia más efectiva incluye un enfoque de manejo adaptativo en el que los tratamientos se eligen en función de cambios en la composición de la comunidad y las condiciones del recurso.

AB  - Lactobacillus intermedius NRRL B-3693 produced mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid when grown on fructose at 37°C. The optimal pH for mannitol production from fructose by the heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium (LAB) in pH-controlled fermentation was at pH 5.0. It produced 160.7 ± 1.1 g mannitol in 40 h with a volumetric productivity of 4.0 g l−1 h−1 in a simplified medium containing 250 g fructose, 50 g corn steep liquor (CSL), and 33 mg MnSO4 per liter. However, the mannitol production by the LAB was severely affected by the variability of CSL. The supplementation of CSL with soy peptone (5 g/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l) plus tyrosine (50 mg/l), or commercial protease preparation (2 ml/100 g of CSL) enhanced the performance of the inferior CSL and thus helped to overcome the nutrient limitations.

AB  - Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Neotropic Cormorant) has been observed with increasing frequency in the alluvial plain (Delta region) of Mississippi. In the past 6 years, 22 individuals have been observed in 20 separate sightings during spring and summer. These sightings have occurred at breeding colonies of other colonial waterbirds and commercial aquaculture facilities of Ictalurus punctatus (Channel Catfish). Two sexually mature Neotropic Cormorants have been collected at a colonial waterbird breeding colony near the Mississippi River in the western Delta region among flocks of Phalacrocorax auritus (Double-crested Cormorants). Twice during the summer of 2008, confirmed nesting of Neotropic Cormorants were documented in the Delta region of Mississippi. The increased abundance and range expansion of Neotropic Cormorants in the Delta region of Mississippi may be a result of the readily available food source of cultured Channel Catfish.

AB  - Double-crested cormorants, Phalacrocorax auritus, are a frequent and major avian predator on channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and other aquaculture species throughout the southeastern USA. Although cormorant movements and occurrence within the aquaculture production region are understood, no studies have focused on the mechanisms utilized by these avian predators to select foraging sites within these high-density aquaculture systems. The objective of this study was to determine if cormorant abundance is associated with specific (ultraviolet to visible) light reflectance spectra within commercial catfish ponds. Three commercial farms were used in this study; each farm had four ponds classified as “preferred” and another four ponds classified as “avoided” based on observing cormorant numbers for 3 mo prior to reflectance measures (>100 h observation for each pond). Reflectance and pond turbidity were measured weekly for 7 wk during the period of maximal over-wintering cormorant numbers. Water samples were collected at the surface (1 cm depth) and secchi depth (10–41 cm) at two locations (upwind and downwind sides) within each pond to determine spectral reflectance and turbidity. Average pond reflectance values were not significantly different between ponds preferred and avoided by cormorants; however, upwind reflectance significantly differed from downwind reflectance between cormorant use groups. Using cross-validation discriminant analysis, the accuracy of separating upwind ponds preferred and avoided by cormorants was over 62%. Repeated measures ANOVA identified the reflectance at 370, 380, 460, 500, 510, and 620 nm as significantly different between ponds preferred and avoided by cormorants. The lower wavelengths (380–410 nm) correspond to known UV-A sensing compounds in cormorants and the other wavelengths share characteristics associated with algal biomass. Cormorants utilize ponds that have lower algal biomass when compared with avoided ponds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using different sources of nitrogen as fertilizers in nursery ponds may affect water quality and plankton responses. We evaluated water quality variables and plankton population responses when using different nitrogen sources for catfish nursery pond fertilization. We compared calcium nitrate (12% N), sodium nitrite (20% N), ammonium chloride (26% N), ammonium nitrate (34% N) and urea (45% N) in 190-L microcosms at equimolar nitrogen application rates. Sodium nitrite-fertilized microcosms had higher nitrite and nitrate levels during the first week; no other differences in the water quality were detected among fertilizer types ( P>0.05). No differences in green algae, diatoms or cyanobacteria were detected among treatments; desirable zooplankton for catfish culture was increased in urea-fertilized microcosms. Based on these results, any form of nitrogen used for pond fertilization should perform similarly without causing substantial water quality deterioration. Ammonium nitrate and urea contain a higher percentage of nitrogen, requiring less volume to achieve dosing levels. If both urea and ammonium nitrate are available, we recommend using the one with the least cost per unit of nitrogen. If both types of fertilizer have an equal cost per unit of nitrogen, we recommend using urea because of the potential advantage of increasing desirable zooplankton concentrations.

AB  - The article focuses on managing grasslands for improved wildlife habitat and arresting declining bird populations through vegetation heterogeneity. It observes that most management practices put more emphasis on livestock production resulting in decreased vegetation heterogeneity. The authors suggest the use of a scale-dependent framework designed to maintain biodiversity on all affected grasslands.

AB  - Microflora of fruit surfaces have been the best source of antagonists against fungi causing postharvest decay of fruit. However, there is little information on microflora colonizing surfaces of fruits other than grape, apple, and citrus. We characterized bacterial microflora on nectarine fruit surfaces from the early stage of development until harvest. Identification of bacterial strains was made using MIDI (fatty acid methyl ester analysis) and Biolog systems. Biolog identified 35% and MIDI 53% of the strains. Thus results from MIDI were used to determine the frequency of occurrence of genera and species. The most frequently occurring genera were Curtobacterium (21.31%), followed by Pseudomonas (19.99%), Microbacterium (13.57%), Clavibacter (9.69%), Pantoea (6.59%), and Enterobacter (4.26%). The frequency of isolations of some bacteria - for example, the major pseudomonads (Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas savastanoi) or Pantoea agglomerans - tended to decline as fruit developed. As Pseudomonas declined, Curtobacterium became more dominant. Time of isolation was a significant factor in the frequency of occurrence of different bacteria, indicating succession of the genera. Throughput screening of the bacterial strains against Monilinia fructicola on nectarine fruit resulted in the detection of strains able to control brown rot. The 10 best-performing antagonistic strains were subjected to secondary screening. Four strains reduced decay severity by more than 50% (51.7%-91.4% reduction) at the high pathogen inoculum concentration of 105 conidia/mL. La microflore présente à la surface des fruits a été la meilleure source de composés antagonistes de champignons qui responsables du pourrissement après la récolte. Cependant, il n’existe que peu d’information sur la microflore qui colonise les surfaces de la nectarine, du stade précoce de développement du fruit jusqu’à sa récolte. L’identification de souches bactériennes a été réalisée à l’aide des systèmes MIDI (analyse de esters méthylique d’acides gras) et Biolog. Le Biolog a permis d’identifier 35 % des souches, alors que le MIDI en a identifié 53%; les résultats du MIDI ont donc été utilisés pour déterminer la fréquence des genres et des espèces. Les genres les plus fréquemment retrouvés sont Curtobacterium (21,31 %), suivi de Pseudomonas (19,99 %), Microbacterium (13,57 %), Clavibacter (9,69 %), Pantoea (6,59 %), et Enterobacter (4,26 %). La fréquence d’isolement de quelques bactéries, les pseudomonades principales (Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas putida et Pseudomonas savastonoi) ou Pantoea agglomerans, par exemple, tend à décliner en fonction du développement du fruit. Au fil du déclin de Pseudomonas, Curtobacterium devient davantage dominant. La période d’isolement constituait un facteur significatif de la fréquence des différentes bactéries, indiquant une succession de genres. Un criblage à haut débit des souches bactériennes Monilinia fruticola présentes sur la nectarine a résulté en la détection de souches capables de contrôler la pourriture brune. Les 10 meilleures souches antagonistes ont été soumises à un deuxième criblage. Quatre souches ont réduit la sévérité de la pourriture par plus de 50 % (51,7 % à 91,4 % de réduction) à une concentration élevée d’inoculation de pathogène de 105 conidies/mL.

AB  - We examined the independent and combined effects of prescribed fire and livestock grazing on herbaceous plant production in shortgrass steppe of northeastern Colorado in the North American Great Plains. Burning was implemented in March, before the onset of the growing season. During the first postburn growing season, burning had no influence on soil moisture, nor did it affect soil nitrogen (N) availability in spring (April-May), but it significantly enhanced soil N availability in summer (June-July). Burning had no influence on herbaceous plant production in the first postburn growing season but enhanced in vitro dry matter digestibility of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis [Willd. ex Kunth] Lag. ex Griffiths) forage sampled in late May. For the second postburn growing season, we found no difference in herbaceous plant production between sites that were burned and grazed in the previous year versus sites that were burned and protected from grazing in the previous year. Our results provide further evidence that prescribed burns conducted in late winter in dormant vegetation can have neutral or positive consequences for livestock production because of a neutral effect on forage quantity and a short-term enhancement of forage quality. In addition, our results indicate that with conservative stocking rates, deferment of grazing during the first postburn growing season may not be necessary to sustain plant productivity.

AB  - Examinamos el efecto independiente y combinado del fuego prescrito y el pastoreo de ganado en la producción de herbáceas en los pastizales cortos del noreste de Colorado en las grandes llanuras del Norte América. El fuego se aplicó en marzo, antes del inicio de la época de crecimiento. Durante la primera época de crecimiento después de la aplicación del fuego, no hubo efecto sobre el contenido de humedad del suelo, ni tampoco afectó el contenido de nitrógeno (N) disponible en la primavera (Abril-Mayo), pero tuvo un efecto significativo en el incremento de la disponibilidad del nitrógeno contenido en el suelo durante el verano (Junio-Julio). El fuego no tuvo efecto en la producción de herbáceas en la primera época de crecimiento después de la aplicación del fuego prescrito, pero incrementó la digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca de navajita (Bouteloua gracilis [Willd. ex Kunth] Lag. ex Griffiths) en muestras obtenidas al final del mes de mayo. Para la segunda época de crecimiento, después de la aplicación del fuego, no se encontraron diferencias en la producción de las platas herbáceas entre los lugares que fueron quemados y pastoreados en los años posteriores comparado con los lugares que fueron quemados y protegidos del pastoreo en años previos. Nuestros resultados proporcionan pruebas adicionales de que el fuego pre-escrito aplicado a finales del invierno cuando la vegetación se encuentra en latencia puede tener consecuencias neutrales o positivas para la producción de ganado debido al efecto neutral sobre la calidad de forraje y el incremento de la calidad del forraje a corto plazo. Además nuestros resultados indican que con tasas conservadoras de pastoreo el diferimiento del pastoreo durante la primera época de crecimiento después de la aplicación del fuego podría no ser necesario para sustentar la productividad vegetal.

AB  - Suppression of one-seed juniper (Juniper monosperma [Englem.] Sarg.) reinvasion with goats requires achieving levels of defoliation of newly established saplings that eventually kill or suppress plant growth. We tested the effects of stocking density and mixed grazing with sheep on the level of use of one-seed juniper saplings by goats. In summer and spring, groups of 10 does (goats alone, GA) or 5 does and 4 ewes (mixed grazing,MG), grazed 20 X 30 m cells infested with saplings (500-533 · ha-1; mean: 0.8 m tall), either continuously for 6 d (low stocking density, LD) or with daily rotation through 10 X 10 m cells during the 6-d period (high stocking density, HD) in a block design. Feeding activity; juniper in feces; utilization of herbaceous vegetation; frequency of saplings with light, moderate, and heavy foliage and bark use; and branch utilization were determined. Goats in HD spent more time feeding on saplings, less time feeding on herbaceous forages, and tended to consume more juniper than goats in LD. Utilization of herbaceous vegetation ranged from 52% to 73% and was higher for MG than GA and for LD than HD. The MG-HD treatment resulted in the highest frequency of short saplings (<0.5 m) with heavy defoliation in summer and spring, and lowest frequency of saplings with light debarking in spring. Heavy defoliation was more frequent in short saplings, whereas heavy debarking was more frequent in tall (>1m) saplings. Sapling mortality was not affected by treatments (P>0.05) and averaged 5% across treatments. Branch debarking was greater in spring (P=0.02) and explained approximately 80% of branch mortality and 62% and 52% of the reduction in sapling live crown height and volume. Branch utilization (percent length) was not affected by grazing treatments (range: 45-48%), but was influenced by the length and diameter of branches. This study suggests that high stocking density and mixed grazing stimulate feeding behaviors that increase utilization of juniper saplings by goats. Susceptibility of saplings to defoliation and debarking varies with sapling size, branch structure, and season. Targeted grazing in spring appears to have a greater impact on sapling suppression and branch mortality due to higher debarking frequency. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El control de la reinvasión de Juniperus monospermamediante el uso de cabras require alcanzar niveles de defoliación que aumenten la mortalidad o supriman el crecimiento de renovales. Se determinaron los efectos de densidad animal y pastoreomixto con ovejas sobre los niveles de uso de J. monosperma por cabras. En verano y primavera, grupos de 10 cabras (cabras solas, CS) o de 5 cabras con 4 ovejas (pastoreo mixto, PM), pastorearon parcelas de 20 X 30 m invadidas con renovales de J. monosperma (500-533 individuos/ha, altura media: 0.8 m), bajo pastoreo continuo por 6 días (Baja densidad, BD) o con rotación diaria en parcelas de 10 X 10 m durante 6 días (Alta densidad, AD), siguiendo un diseño en bloques. Se determinó la actividad durante el pastoreo, J. monosperma en fecas, utilización de la vegetación herbácea, frequencia de renovales con defoliación, leve, moderada, o alta, y utilización de corteza y ramas. Las cabras en el tratamiento de AD pasaron mas tiempo ramoneando renovales, menos tiempo pastoreando vegetación herbácea y tendieron a consumir mas J. monosperma que las cabras en el tratamiento de BD. El rango de utilización de vegetación herbácea fue entre 52% y 73% y fue mayor para PM que para CS y para BD que AD. El tratamiento PM-AD resultó en mayor frecuencia de renovales bajos (<0.5 m) con alta defoliacion en verano y primavera, y menor frecuencia de renovales con baja utilizacion de corteza. Niveles altos de defoliación fueron más frecuentes en renovales bajos, mientras que altos niveles de descortezado fueron mas frecuentes en renovales altos (>1 m). La mortalidad de renovales no fue afectada por los tratamientos (P>0.05) y fue en promedio del 5%. El descortezado de ramas fue mayor en primavera (P=0.02) y explicó aproximadamente el 80%de lamortalidad de ramas, y el 62% y 52% de la reducción en altura y volumende copa. Lautilización de ramas(%del largo) no fue afectada por los tratamientos (rango 45-48%), pero fue influenciada por el largo y diámetro de los tallos. Este estudio sugiere que alta densidad animal y pastoreo mixto estimulan comportamientos de forrajeo que aumentan la utilización de renovales de J. monosperma por cabras. La susceptibilidad de defoliación y descortezado de renovales varía con el tamaño, estructura de ramas y estación. El pastoreo prescipto de primavera aparenta tener mayor impacto sobre la supresión y mortalidad de ramas debido a la mayor frecuencia de descortezado. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Distinguishing between anthropogenic and natural sources of sediment and nutrients is important for water resource management in irrigated basins. Water quality of flood irrigation was monitored at the field scale in the upper Klamath Basin, Oregon, on two unfertilized cattle pastures that were 2 ha (Site 1) and 70 ha (Site 2) in area. Water samples were analyzed for concentrations of sediment, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), orthophosphate, ammonium-N (NH4+-N), and nitrate-N (NO3--N). At both sites the TDN concentration was significantly greater in surface runoff than in applied irrigation water (P<0.05). Site 1 sediment and TDP concentrations were significantly greater in irrigation surface runoff than in applied irrigation water (P<0.05). A first flush during irrigation was observed at Site 1 where nutrient concentration was at maximum value during the first 3 h of surface runoff. At Site 2 the surface runoff sediment and TDP concentrations were not significantly (P>0.05) higher than the applied irrigation, except when cattle were present. When export was measured, the mean yield of sediment and TDN per irrigation was 23.9 kg N · ha-1 and 0.26 kg N · ha-1, respectively, and there was a net retention of TDP of 0.04 kg P · ha-1. NH4+-N export occurred during one irrigation event yielding 0.15 kg N · ha-1. NO3--N export was minimal or undetected. A late summer storm event resulted in pasture surface runoff concentrations of TDN and TDP that were 33 and 3 times higher, respectively, than irrigation source water concentrations. The TDN was significantly higher in subsurface runoff than it was in applied irrigation water (P<0.05). Improved irrigation efficiency might prevent many of the nutrient and sediment transport mechanisms observed during this study. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La habilidad de distinguir entre fuentes de nutrientes y sedimentos antropogénicos y naturales es importante para el manejo de recursos hídricos de cuencas irrigadas. Se monitoreó la calidad del agua de riego por inundación medida a escala de potrero en la cuenca superior del rio Klamath en Oregon, EE.UU., en dos pasturas sin fertilizar pastoreadas por bovinos, una de 2 (Sitio 1) y otra de 70 ha (Sitio 2) de superficie. Se analizaron muestras de agua para determinar contenido de sedimentos, nitrógeno disuelto total (NDT), fósforo disuelto total (PDT), ortofosfato (OP), nitrógeno en amonio (NH4+-N), y nitrógeno en nitratos (NO3--N). En ambos sitios la concentración de NDT fue significativamente más alta en aguas de escorrentía superficial que en el agua de riego aplicada (P<0.05). En el Sitio 1, la concentración de sedimentos y NDT fue significativamente más alta en escorrentía superficial de agua de irrigación que en el agua de riego (P<0.05). Se observó un pulso inicial durante las primeras 3 h de escurrimiento superficial durante el riego en el Sitio 1 en el que la concentración de nutrientes alcanzó valores máximos. En el Sitio 2 la concentración de sedimentos y PDT en aguas de escurrimiento superficial no fue significativamente (P<0.05) más alta que en el agua de riego aplicada, excepto en presencia de bovinos. La concentración de sedimentos y NDT exportados por evento de riego fue 23,9 y 0,26 kg N · ha-1, respectivamente, y hubo una retención neta de PDT de 0,04 kg P · ha-1. Se detectó N exportado en forma de amonio durante un evento de riego a razón de 0,15 kg N · ha-1. El N exportado en forma de nitratos fue mínimo o no pudo ser detectado. Una tormenta tardía de verano resultó en concentraciones de NDT y PDT en aguas de escurrimiento superficial que fueron 33 y 3 veces superiores, respectivamente, a las concentraciones en aguas de irrigación. El NDT fue significativamente más alto en aguas de escurrimiento sub-superficial que en el agua de riego aplicada (P<0.05). Una mejora en la eficiencia de riego podría prevenir muchos de los mecanismos de transporte de sedimentos y nutrientes observados durante este estudio. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hybridization in the wild between closely related species is not unusual. In some cases, hybridization may prove beneficial for a rare taxon. Under certain conditions, however, a rare taxon can be driven rapidly to extinction by hybridizing with a more common taxon. This problem is urgent because human activities are increasingly bringing together cross-compatible species that were previously geographically isolated. US conservation policy has yet to address how to deal with hybrid-derived individuals whose ancestry includes an endangered species. Developing sound science-based conservation policy that addresses hybridization requires cross-disciplinary social-science and life-science research to address the following two questions: (I) How do human decisions with regard to species protection, trade, transportation, land use, and other factors affect the opportunities for, and rates of hybridization between, rare species and more common relatives? and (2) How do the positive or negative perceived values regarding hybrids and hybrid-derived individuals compare with values regarding their nonhybridized counterparts from social, cultural, economic, and environmental perspectives? In this article we explore the ways to inform such policy using a multidisciplinary approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pest risk maps are powerful visual communication tools to describe where invasive alien species might arrive, establish, spread, or cause harmful impacts. These maps inform strategic and tactical pest management decisions, such as potential restrictions on international trade or the design of pest surveys and domestic quarantines. Diverse methods are available to create pest risk maps, and can potentially yield different depictions of risk for the same species. Inherent uncertainties about the biology of the invader, future climate conditions, and species interactions further complicate map interpretation. If multiple maps are available, risk managers must choose how to incorporate the various representations of risk into their decision making process, and may make significant errors if they misunderstand what each map portrays. This article describes the need for pest risk maps, compares pest risk mapping methods, and recommends future research to improve such important decision-support tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Resource limitations, such as the availability of soil nitrogen (N), are expected to constrain continued increases in plant productivity under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). One potential but under-studied N source for supporting increased plant growth under elevated CO2 is soil organic N. In arid ecosystems, there have been no studies examining plant organic N uptake to date. To assess the potential effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on plant N uptake dynamics, we quantified plant uptake of organic and inorganic N forms in the dominant desert shrub Larrea tridentata under controlled environmental conditions. Seedlings of L. tridentata were grown in the Mojave Desert (NV, USA) soils that had been continuously exposed to ambient or elevated atmospheric CO2 for 8 years at the Nevada Desert FACE Facility. After 6 months of growth in environmentally controlled chambers under ambient (380 μmol mol−1) or elevated (600 μmol mol−1) CO2, pots were injected with stable isotopically labeled sole-N sources (13C-[2]-15N glycine, 15NH4+, or 15NO3−) and moved back to their respective chambers for the remainder of the study. Plants were destructively harvested at 0, 2, 10, 24, and 49 days. Plant uptake of soil N derived from glycine, NH4+, and NO3− increased under elevated CO2 at days 2 and 10. Further, root uptake of organic N as glycine occurred as intact amino acid within the first hour after N treatment, indicated by ~1:1 M enrichment ratios of 13C:15N. Plant N uptake responses to elevated CO2 are often species-specific and could potentially shift competitive interactions between co-occurring species. Thus, physiological changes in root N uptake dynamics coupled with previously observed changes in the availability of soil N resources could impact plant community structure as well as ecosystem nutrient cycling under increasing atmospheric CO2 levels in the Mojave Desert.

AB  - Understanding adaptation of biological communities to environmental change is a central issue in ecology and evolution. Metagenomic analysis of a stressed groundwater microbial community reveals that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals, nitric acid and organic solvents (∼50 years) has resulted in a massive decrease in species and allelic diversity as well as a significant loss of metabolic diversity. Although the surviving microbial community possesses all metabolic pathways necessary for survival and growth in such an extreme environment, its structure is very simple, primarily composed of clonal denitrifying γ- and β-proteobacterial populations. The resulting community is overabundant in key genes conferring resistance to specific stresses including nitrate, heavy metals and acetone. Evolutionary analysis indicates that lateral gene transfer could have a key function in rapid response and adaptation to environmental contamination. The results presented in this study have important implications in understanding, assessing and predicting the impacts of human-induced activities on microbial communities ranging from human health to agriculture to environmental management, and their responses to environmental changes.

AB  - Europe and North America share a similar history in the extirpation and subsequent recovery of large carnivore and ungulate species. Both continents face challenges and opportunities for managing human-wildlife conflict at the junction of livestock production and wildlife conservation. Predation of livestock and disease transmission between wildlife and livestock is an ongoing and escalating worldwide issue. In order to manage this conflict, producers need effective tools, and they have used livestock protection dogs (LPDs) for reducing predation for well over 2000 years. We review the history of the use of LPDs, including the loss of information on their use and the paucity of scientific research on their effectiveness. We discuss the potential for LPDs to be integral components in modern-day livestock husbandry and outline future directions to pursue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The O-antigen gene clusters of Escherichia coli serogroups O2 and O28ac were sequenced, and PCR assays were developed to identify strains belonging to these 2 serogroups. Sixteen and 8 open reading frames were mapped to these loci in E. coli O2:H4 U 9-41 and E. coli O28ac:H25 96-3286, respectively. The wzx (O-antigen flippase) and wzy (O-antigen polymerase) genes in the E. coli O2 and O28ac O-antigen gene clusters were selected as targets for PCR assays for their identification. PCR assays targeting the wzx and wzy genes were specific for these serogroups, with one exception. Escherichia coli serogroup O42 strains gave positive results with wzx and wzy PCR assays targeting E. coli O28ac, and antiserum raised against O42 cross-reacted with serogroup O28ac strains. The O-antigen gene cluster of a strain of E. coli serogroup O42 was sequenced, and there were only 3 nt differences between the O-antigen gene clusters of the O28ac and O42 strains. Multiplex PCR assays targeting the O2 wzx gene, the stx1, stx2, hly, eae, and saa genes, and the O28ac wzx, ial, ipaC, and ipaH genes were developed for detecting Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O2 strains and enteroinvasive E. coli O28ac strains, respectively. The O2 and O28ac wzx and wzy genes can be used as diagnostic markers in PCR assays for rapid identification of these serogroups as an alternative to serotyping, and the multiplex PCR assays targeting serogroup-specific genes in combination with virulence genes can be used to identify and to detect pathogenic serogroup O2 and O28ac strains. Les groupes géniques de l’antigène O d’Escherichia coli des groupes sérologiques O2 et O28ac ont été séquencés, et des essais par PCR ont été développés afin d’identifier les souches appartenant à ces deux groupes sérologiques. Seize et 8 cadres de lecture ouverts ont été respectivement cartographiés sur ces locus chez E. coli O2:H4 U 9-41 et E. coli O28ac:H25 96-3286. Les gènes wzx (flippase de l’antigène O) et wzy (polymérase de l’antigène O) des groupes géniques de l’antigène O chez E. coli O2 et O28ac ont été choisis comme cibles des essais par PCR en vue de leur identification. Les essais PCR ayant pour cibles wzx et wzy étaient spécifiques à ces groupes sérologiques à une exception près. Les souches E.coli du groupe sérologique O42 généraient des résultats positifs en PCR pour wzx et wzy ciblant E. coli O28ac, et l’antisérum produit contre O42 réagissait de façon croisée avec les souches du groupe sérologique O28ac. Le groupe génique de l’antigène O d’une souche d’E. coli du groupe sérologique O42 a été séquencé, révélant qu’il n’y avait que 3 nt de différence entre les groupes géniques de l’antigène O des souches O28ac et O42. Des essais par PCR multiplex ciblant le gène wzx, les gènes stx1, stx2, hly, eae, et saa de O2 et les gènes wzx, ial, ipaC et ipaH de O28ac ont été développés pour détecter les souches d’E. coli O2 productrice de la toxine de Shiga et les souches d’E. coli O28ac entéroinvasives, respectivement. Comme alternative au typage sérologique, les gènes wzx et wzy des groupes O2 et O28ac peuvent être utilisés comme marqueurs diagnostics en PCR afin d’identifier rapidement ces groupes sérologiques, et les essais par PCR multiplex ciblant les gènes spécifiques des groupes sérologiques et les gènes de virulence peuvent être utilisés pour identifier et détecter les souches pathogènes des groupes sérologiques O2 et O28ac.

AB  - Evaluation of the viable seeds in a soil, otherwise known as the seed pool or seed bank, is a crucial component of many weed dynamic and plant ecology studies. Seed bank estimation is used to predict the possibility of future weed infestations in rangelands as well as the nascent native plant diversity within them. However, there is no standardized method of reporting seed bank evaluation techniques, limiting the ability to compare across studies. After sowing known quantities of cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum (L.); brome fescue, Vulpia bromoides (L., S.F. Gray); pigweed, Amaranthus retroflexus (L.); kochia, Kochia scoparia (L. Schrad.); lambsquarters, Chenopodium album (L.); and field pepperweed, Lepidium campestre (L. R. Br.) into sterile soil, we compared two different watering regimes in two soil types to Petri plate germination of these seeds. Seed bank estimations from the emergence method were lower compared to estimations from the Petri plate germination. Top-and-bottom watering increased absolute abundance, and the rank order of abundance among species changed with watering method. Emergence levels were the same between the two soil types. The higher water availability of the top-and-bottom watering method resulted in greater seedling emergence (26.3% ± 10% SD vs. 9.1% ± 7.5% SD). Lower emergence compared to germination (62.3% ± 24.4%) may indicate that emergence is an important postgermination barrier to seedling establishment. While emergence techniques may not accurately portray the volume of seeds in the soil, they may more accurately predict which plants can become established in field conditions. Our different species abundances between watering methods show that multiple emergence methods may need to be employed to forecast a range of future rangeland conditions from the soil seed bank.

AB  - La evaluación de semillas viables en el suelo, también conocido como el reservorio o banco de semillas, es un componente crucial de muchos estudios de dinámica de malezas o de ecología vegetal. La estimación del banco de semillas se utiliza para predecir la posibilidad de futuras infestaciones de malezas, así como la diversidad de plantas nativas emergentes. Sin embargo no existe un método estandarizado de informar técnicas de evaluación de bancos de semillas, hecho que limita la habilidad de hacer comparaciones entre ensayos. Luego de sembrar cantidades conocidas de Bromus tectorum (L.), Vulpia bromoides (L., S.F. Gray), Amaranthus retroflexus (L.), Kochia scoparia (L. Schrad.), Chenopodium album (L.), y Lepidium campestre (L. R. Br.) en suelos estériles, comparamos dos regímenes de riego en dos suelos diferentes con la germinación de estas semillas en cápsulas de Petri. Las estimaciones de banco de semillas utilizando el método de emergencia fueron inferiores a las estimaciones de germinación de las cápsulas de Petri. La aplicación de riego superior e inferior produjo un incremento en la abundancia absoluta, y el orden de ranking de abundancia de especies varió con el sistema de riego aplicado. Los niveles de emergencia en los dos tipos de suelo fueron iguales. La disponibilidad de agua más elevada del sistema de riego superior e inferior produjo mayor emergencia de semillas (26.3% ± 10% DE vs. 9.1% ± 7.5% DE). Los valores de emergencia inferiores a los de germinación (62.3% ± 24.4%) podrían indicar que la emergencia es una barrera post-germinación importante para el establecimiento de plántulas. Si bien las técnicas de emergencia posiblemente no reflejen de modo preciso el volumen de semillas en el suelo, podrían predecir con más precisión qué especies podrían establecerse en condiciones de campo. Las diferencias en abundancia de especies entre tratamientos de riego demuestran que múltiples métodos de emergencia podrían ser necesarios para pronosticar el rango de condiciones futuras de un pastizal a partir del banco de semillas.

AB  - Increases in pinyon and juniper woodland cover associated with land-use history are suggested to provide offsets for carbon emissions in arid regions. However, the largest pools of carbon in arid landscapes are typically found in soils, and aboveground biomass cannot be considered long-term storage in fire-prone ecosystems. Also, the objectives of carbon storage may conflict with management for other ecosystem services and fuels reduction. Before appropriate decisions can be made it is necessary to understand the interactions between woodland expansion, management treatments, and carbon retention. We quantified effects of prescribed fire as a fuels reduction and ecosystem maintenance treatment on fuel loads, ecosystem carbon, and nitrogen in a pinyon-juniper woodland in the central Great Basin. We found that plots containing 30% tree cover averaged nearly 40 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in total aboveground biomass, 80 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in ecosystem carbon (C), and 5 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in ecosystem nitrogen (N). Only 25% of ecosystem C and 5% of ecosystem N resided in aboveground biomass pools. Prescribed burning resulted in a 65% reduction in aboveground biomass, a 68% reduction in aboveground C, and a 78% reduction in aboveground N. No statistically significant change in soil or total ecosystem C or N occurred. Prescribed fire was effective at reducing fuels on the landscape and resulted in losses of C and N from aboveground biomass. However, the immediate and long-term effects of burning on soil and total ecosystem C and N is still unclear. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Incrementos de los bosques de piñón y enebro relacionados con el historial del uso de la tierra se han sugerido como una forma de proveer desvíos de las emisiones de carbón en zonas áridas. Sin embargo, los más grandes reservorios de carbono en zonas áridas se encuentran originalmente en el suelo, y la biomasa aérea no puede considerarse almacenamiento a largo plazo en los ecosistemas que están propensos al fuego. También, los objetivos de almacenamiento del carbono pueden entrar en conflicto con el manejo de los servicios de los ecosistemas y la reducción de combustibles. Antes de que se tomen las decisiones adecuadas es necesario el entender las interacciones entre la expansión del bosque y los tratamientos de manejo, así como la retención de carbón. Cuantificamos los efectos de las quemas prescritas como un tratamiento en la reducción del combustible y el mantenimiento del ecosistema en cargas de combustible, carbono del ecosistema, y nitrógeno en el bosque de piñón-enebro en la gran cuenca central. Encontramos que parcelas que tenían una cubierta arbórea del 30%promediaron casi 40 000 kg ha-1 en total de la biomasa aérea, 80 000 kg ha en C del ecosistema, y 5 000 kg ha de N del ecosistema. Solamente el 25%del C y el 5% el N del ecosistema existe en la biomasa aérea. Las quemas prescritas reducen la biomasa aérea en un 65%, así como el C aéreo en un 68%, y 78% del N de la superficie. No se encontraron cambios estadísticamente significativos en el C oNdel suelo o del ecosistema. Las quemas prescritas fueron efectivas en la reducción del combustible en el paisaje y dieron lugar a las pérdidas de C y N de la biomasa aérea. Sin embargo, los efectos inmediatos y a largo plazo de las quemas del C y N del suelo y del total del ecosistema todavía no son muy claros. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Low larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum Pritz.) poisoning causes serious economic loss to livestock producers that graze cattle on foothill and mountain ranges in western North America. In general, all Delphinium spp. are five times less toxic to sheep than to cattle. Because low larkspurs are less toxic to sheep than cattle, grazing sheep before cattle on rangelands with dense populations of low larkspur can reduce larkspur density and risk of poisoning to grazing cattle. All previous published work on sheep and larkspur interactions has involved tall larkspurs. This series of studies was conducted to determine if sheep would consume sufficient low larkspur to reduce subsequent risk to cattle. Four summer trials were conducted in Collbran, Colorado, and Soda Springs, Idaho on pastures with dense (> 9 plants ⋅ m-2) low larkspur populations. In all trials, sheep ate very little low larkspur (< 0.5% of bites). During one final trial using high sheep density (two sheep ⋅ 0.015 ha-1 for 9 d), sheep consumed little low larkspur, but animals appeared to trample much of the low larkspur. Toxic alkaloid concentrations in low larkspur ranged from 1.1 mg ⋅ g-1 to 1.6 mg ⋅ g-1 in all trials. The use of sheep to graze low larkspurs to reduce subsequent consumption by grazing cattle does not appear to be a viable option. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La toxicosis ocasionada por el Delphinium de porte bajo (Delphinium nuttallianum Pritz.) causa serias pérdidas económicas a productores ganaderos cuyos rodeos pastorean en pastizales de piedemonte y montaña del oeste de los Estados Unidos. En general, las especies de Delphinium son cinco veces menos tóxicas para ovinos que para bovinos. Dado que Delphinium nuttallianum es menos toxica para ovinos que para bovinos, el pastoreo con ovinos previo al pastoreo de bovinos en pastizales con poblaciones densas de esta especie podría reducir el riesgo de toxicosis en bovinos en pastoreo. Todos los trabajos previamente publicados sobre las interacciones entre ovinos y Delphininum han involucrado a las especies de porte alto de este género. Esta serie de estudios se condujo para determinar si los ovinos podrían consumir suficiente cantidad de Delphinium nuttallianum como para reducir el riesgo de toxicosis subsecuente en bovinos. Se realizaron cuatro ensayos durante el verano en Collbran, Colorado, y Soda Springs, Idaho en potreros con poblaciones densas (> 9 plantas ⋅ m-2) de Delphinium nuttallianum. En todos los ensayos los ovinos consumieron cantidades muy pequeñas de Delphinium nuttallianum (< 0.5% de bocados). Durante un ensayo final, altas densidades de ovinos (dos ovejas ⋅ 0.015 ha-1 por 9 días), consumieron poco Delphinium nuttallianum, pero los animales aparentemente pisotearon la mayor parte de las plantas de esta especie. La concentración de alcaloides tóxicos en Delphinium nuttallianum osciló entre 1.1 mg ⋅ g-1 y 1.6 mg ⋅ g-1 en todos los ensayos. El uso de ovinos para consumir Delphinium nuttallianum y reducir el riesgo de toxicosis subsecuente en bovinos no aparenta ser una alternativa viable. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Woody plants can cause localized increases in resources (i.e., resource islands) that can persist after fire and create a heterogeneous environment for restoration. Others have found that subcanopies have increased soil organic matter, nitrogen, and carbon and elevated post-fire soil temperature. We tested the hypothesis that burned sagebrush subcanopies would have increased seedling establishment and performance of post-fire seeded perennial bunchgrasses compared to burned interspaces. We used a randomized complete block design with five study sites located in southeast Oregon. The area was burned in a wildfire (2007) and reseeded in the same year with a seed mix that included non-native and native perennial bunchgrasses. Seedling density, height, and reproductive status were measured in October 2008 in burned subcanopy and interspace microsites. Non-native perennial grasses had greater densities than native species (P < 0.001) and were six times more abundant in burned subcanopies compared to burned interspaces (P < 0.001). Density of natives in burned subcanopies was 24-fold higher than burned interspaces (P = 0.043). Seedlings were taller in burned subcanopies compared to burned interspaces (P = 0.001). Subcanopy microsites had more reproductive seedlings than interspace microsites (P < 0.001). Our results suggest that under the fire conditions examined in this study, pre-burn shrub cover may be important to post-fire restoration of perennial grasses. Determining the mechanisms responsible for increased seeding success in subcanopy microsites may suggest tactics that could be used to improve existing restoration technologies.

AB  - Las plantas leñosas pueden crear un aumento localizado de recursos (es decir, islas de recursos) que pueden persistir luego de un fuego generando un ambiente de restauración heterogéneo. Otros autores han encontrado que las áreas debajo del canopeo poseen más materia orgánica, nitrógeno y carbono (es decir, islas de recursos) y elevada temperatura edáfica luego de un fuego. Pusimos a prueba la hipótesis de que las áreas quemadas debajo del canopeo de Artemisia tridentata tendrían mayor establecimiento y mejor performance de plántulas de pastos perennes sembrados después del fuego comparado con las áreas quemadas en los espacios entre arbustos. Utilizamos un diseño completamente aleatorizado en bloques con cinco sitios de estudio en el sudeste de Oregon. El área había sido quemada en un incendio (2007) y resembrada el mismo año con una mezcla de semillas compuesta por especies de pastos perennes nativos y exóticos. En octubre de 2008 se determinaron la densidad de plántulas, su altura y estado reproductivo en micrositios quemados bajo canopeos y en los espacios entre arbustos. Los pastos exóticos exhibieron mayores densidades que las especies nativas (P < 0.001) y exhibieron una abundancia seis veces mayor en áreas quemadas debajo de los canopeos comparado con áreas quemadas en los espacios entre arbustos (P < 0.001). La densidad de pastos nativos en áreas quemadas debajo de canopeos fue 24 veces mayor que en los espacios quemados entre arbustos (P = 0.043). La altura de plántulas en áreas quemadas bajo canopeos fue significativamente mayor a la de plántulas en espacios quemados entre arbustos (P = 0.001). Los micrositios debajo de canopeos tuvieron más plántulas en estado reproductivo que los micrositios entre arbustos (P < 0.001). Nuestros resultados sugieren que para las condiciones de fuego estudiadas, la cobertura de arbustos previa al fuego podría influir sobre la restauración de pastos perennes posterior al fuego. La determinación de mecanismos responsables por el mayor éxito de implantación en micrositios debajo de canopeos podría sugerir tácticas para mejorar las tecnologías de restauración existentes.

AB  - Rangelands occupy 50% of Earth's land surface and thus are important in the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. For rangelands and other terrestrial ecosystems, the balance between photosynthetic uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 loss to respiration varies among years in response to interannual variation in the environment. Variability in CO2 exchange results from interannual differences in 1) environmental variables at a given point in the annual cycle (direct effects of the environment) and in 2) the response of fluxes to a given change in the environment because of interannual changes in biological factors that regulate photosynthesis and respiration (functional change). Functional change is calculated as the contribution of among-year differences in slopes of flux-environment relationships to the total variance in fluxes explained by the environment. Functional change complicates environmental-based predictions of CO2 exchange, yet its causes and contribution to flux variability remain poorly defined. We determine contributions of functional change and direct effects of the environment to interannual variation in net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) of eight rangeland ecosystems in the western United States (58 site-years of data). We predicted that 1) functional change is correlated with interannual change in precipitation on each rangeland and 2) the contribution of functional change to variance in NEE increases among rangelands as mean precipitation increases. Functional change explained 10-40% of the variance in NEE and accounted for more than twice the variance in fluxes of direct effects of environmental variability for six of the eight ecosystems. Functional change was associated with interannual variation in precipitation on most rangelands but, contrary to prediction, contributed proportionally more to variance in NEE on arid than more mesic ecosystems. Results indicate that we must account for the influence of precipitation on flux-environment relationships if we are to distinguish environmental from management effects on rangeland C balance.

AB  - Los pastizales ocupan 50% de la superficie del planeta y por lo tanto son importantes en el ciclo de Carbono (C) terrestre. Para los pastizales y otros ecosistemas terrestres, el balance entre el consumo fotosintético del dióxido de carbono (CO2) y la pérdida de CO2 debido a la respiración varía de un año a otro en respuesta a la variación del medio ambiente en el transcurso del año. La variabilidad en el intercambio del CO2 resulta de las diferencias que se dan durante el año en 1) variables ambientales en un momento dado en el ciclo anual (efectos directos del medio ambiente) y en 2) la respuesta de los flujos hacia un determinado cambio en el medioambiente debido a los cambios en el transcurso del año en los factores biológicos que regulan la fotosíntesis y la respiración (cambio funcional). El cambio funcional se calcula como la contribución de las diferencias entre los años en la pendiente de las relaciones del flujo y el medio ambiente a la varianza total en los flujos explicada por el medio ambiente. El cambio funcional complica las predicciones basadas en el medio ambiente del intercambio del CO2. Sin embargo, sus causas y la contribución a la variabilidad de los flujos no se han definido satisfactoriamente. Determinamos las contribuciones del cambio funcional y los efectos directos del medio ambiente a la variación entre años en el intercambio neto del ecosistema de CO2 (NEE) de ocho ecosistemas de pastizales en la parte oeste del los Estados Unidos (58-sitios-años de datos). Pronosticamos que 1) el cambio funcional esta correlacionado con los cambios entre años de la precipitación en cada tipo de pastizal y 2) la contribución del cambio funcional a la variación en NEE aumenta entre los pastizales a medida que la precipitación se incrementa. El cambio funcional explicó 10-40% de la variación en NEE y representaron más del doble de la variación en los flujos de los efectos directos de la variabilidad ambiental para seis de ocho ecosistemas. Los cambios funcionales estuvieron asociados con la variación entre años en la precipitación de la mayoría del los pastizales, pero contrariamente a la predicción contribuyó proporcionalmente más a variación en NEE en ecosistemas áridos que los mésicos. Estos resultados indican que debemos de tomar en cuenta la influencia de la precipitación en la relación del flujo y medio ambiente para poder distinguir los efectos que ejerce el medio ambiente de los que tiene el manejo del balance de C en los pastizales.

AB  - Ingestion of small amounts of condensed tannin (CT) by ruminants can produce valuable outcomes such as improved nitrogen use and reduced bloating, methane output, and gastrointestinal parasitism. However, many grasses and forbs contain little if any CT. The specific types of CT vary in plants and can have somewhat different effects on ruminants. Individual ruminants can respond differently to CT intake. Not all livestock will consistently consume supplements while grazing, but they all usually drink water daily. Therefore, in order to determine how sheep would respond to CT in their drinking water, eight lambs with the same initial weight of 43 kg were individually penned, fed alfalfa pellets twice daily, and had ad libitum access to two waters. Water intake was measured daily. After an adjustment period to pens, feeding, watering conditions, and water containing CT, three sequential week-long trials were conducted. In Trial 1, lambs chose between tap water and a quebracho tannin (QT)-water mixture (0.19% QT w/w; ca. 1% dry matter intake of QT). In Trial 2, lambs chose between tap water and a QT-water mixture of lower concentration (0.14% QT w/w). In Trial 3, lambs chose between a QT-water mixture and a wattle tannin--water mixture, both with the same concentration (0.14% CT w/w). In Trials 1 and 2, lambs had inconsistent intakes of tannin water and tap water from day to day (P ≤ 0.02) and neither preferred nor avoided tannin solutions. They also had inconsistent daily intakes of the two different tannin solutions offered simultaneously (P = 0.01), and showed no preference for either tannin solution (P ≥ 0.15). Results support other observations that sheep will voluntarily consume water with small amounts of CT in it, and provide no evidence that sheep prefer consuming small amounts of QT vs. black wattle tannin in water.

AB  - El consumo de pequeñas cantidades de taninos condensados (TC) por rumiantes puede producir resultados valiosos tales como un mejor uso del nitrógeno, reducción del timpanismo, menor producción de metano y disminución en parasitismo gastrointestinal. Sin embargo, muchas de las gramíneas y herbáceas contienen muy poco o casi nada de TC. Los tipos específicos de TC varían entre plantas y pueden tener de alguna manera diferentes efectos en los rumiantes. Cada rumiante puede responder en forma diferente al consumo de TC. No todo el ganado consume suplemento consistentemente en condiciones de pastoreo, pero normalmente beben agua diariamente. Por lo tanto, con el fin de determinar cómo las ovejas responden a TC en el consumo de agua, ocho corderos con el mismo peso inicial de 43 kg se colocaron en corraletas individuales, alimentados con gránulos de alfalfa dos veces al día y con acceso ad libitum de dos tipos de agua. El consumo de agua se midió diariamente. Después de un periodo de adaptación a las corraletas, a la alimentación, a las condiciones de los bebederos y al agua que contenía TC, se llevaron a cabo tres experimentos secuenciales con una duración de una semana cada uno. En el experimento 1, los corderos eligieron entre el agua de la llave y una mezcla de agua que contenía taninos de quebracho (QT) (0.19% QT w/w; ca. 1% Consumo de MS de QT). En el experimento 2, los corderos tenían la opción de seleccionar entre el agua de la llave y una mezcla de agua con QT con una concentración menor (0.14% QT w/w). En el experimento 3, los corderos podían seleccionar entre una mezcla de agua de QT y una mezcla de agua con taninos en ambas mezclas con la misma concentración (0.14% CT w/w). En los experimentos 1 y 2, los corderos tuvieron consumos muy inconsistentes tanto de agua con taninos como agua de la llave de día a día (P ≤ 0.02) y no prefirieron pero tampoco evadieron las soluciones con taninos. También tuvieron consumos diarios inconsistentes de las los soluciones de taninos ofrecidas simultáneamente (P = 0.01), y no mostraron preferencia por cualquier solución de taninos (P ≥ 0.15). Los resultados apoyan otras observaciones que ovejas consumen voluntariamente agua con pequeñas cantidades de TC en ella y no demuestran que ovejas prefieren consumir cantidades pequeñas de quebracho versus tanino de acacia en el agua.

AB  - Species of Aspergillus produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites, and recent genomic analysis has predicted that these species have the capacity to synthesize many more compounds. It has been possible to infer the presence of 55 gene clusters associated with secondary metabolism in Aspergillus flavus; however, only three metabolic pathways—aflatoxin, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and aflatrem—have been assigned to these clusters. To gain an insight into the regulation of and to infer the ecological significance of the 55 secondary metabolite gene clusters predicted in A. flavus, we examined their expression over 28 diverse conditions. Variables included culture medium and temperature, fungal development, colonization of developing maize seeds and misexpression of laeA, a global regulator of secondary metabolism. Hierarchical clustering analysis of expression profiles allowed us to categorize the gene clusters into four distinct clades. Gene clusters for the production of aflatoxins, CPA and seven other unknown compound(s) were identified as belonging to one clade. To further explore the relationships found by gene expression analysis, aflatoxin and CPA production were quantified under five different cell culture environments known to be conducive or nonconducive for aflatoxin biosynthesis and during the colonization of developing maize seeds. Results from these studies showed that secondary metabolism gene clusters have distinctive gene expression profiles. Aflatoxin and CPA were found to have unique regulation, but are sufficiently similar that they would be expected to co-occur in substrates colonized with A. flavus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To speciate Campylobacter strains from the caeca of chickens in Grenada using PCR and to evaluate DNA-based typing methods for the characterization of these isolates. Methods and Results:  Isolates were speciated with two multiplex PCR assays and were typed with flaA-RFLP, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results confirmed that Campylobacter coli strains were more predominant than Campylobacter jejuni strains. From 56 isolates, 18 were misidentified using biochemical tests. PFGE typing gave the highest discriminatory power among the methods used (Simpson’s index of diversity, D = 0·9061). However, the combination of flaA-RFLP, PFGE and MLST results gave the highest discrimination for subtyping of these isolates ( D =  0·9857). A band position tolerance of 4% in BioNumerics was the most appropriate for the analysis of this database. MLST profiles were generally concordant with PFGE and/or flaA-RFLP types. Several isolates exhibited new MLST sequence types (STs), and 43 of the 49 Camp. coli strains belonged to the ST-828 clonal complex. Conclusions:  Campylobacter coli was the most prevalent species isolated from broilers and layers in Grenada, and a combination of restriction and sequence methods was most appropriate for the typing of Camp. coli isolates. Campylobacter coli STs clustered with described poultry-associated Camp. coli STs by phylogenetic analysis. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Further studies to understand the predominance of Camp. coli within Campylobacter spp. from chickens in Grenada may help elucidate the epidemiology of these pathogens in chickens.

AB  - For most ecosystems, net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) varies within and among years in response to environmental change. We analyzed measurements of CO2 exchange from eight native rangeland ecosystems in the western United States (58 site-years of data) in order to determine the contributions of photosynthetic and respiratory (physiological) components of CO2 exchange to environmentally caused variation in NEE. Rangelands included Great Plains grasslands, desert shrubland, desert grasslands, and sagebrush steppe. We predicted that (1) week-to-week change in NEE and among-year variation in the response of NEE to temperature, net radiation, and other environmental drivers would be better explained by change in maximum rates of ecosystem photosynthesis ( Amax) than by change in apparent light-use efficiency ( α) or ecosystem respiration at 10 °C ( R10) and (2) among-year variation in the responses of NEE, Amax, and α to environmental drivers would be explained by changes in leaf area index (LAI). As predicted, NEE was better correlated with Amax than α or R10 for six of the eight rangelands. Week-to-week variation in NEE and physiological parameters correlated mainly with time-lagged indices of precipitation and water-related environmental variables, like potential evapotranspiration, for desert sites and with net radiation and temperature for Great Plains grasslands. For most rangelands, the response of NEE to a given change in temperature, net radiation, or evaporative demand differed among years because the response of photosynthetic parameters ( Amax, α) to environmental drivers differed among years. Differences in photosynthetic responses were not explained by variation in LAI alone. A better understanding of controls on canopy photosynthesis will be required to predict variation in NEE of rangeland ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Continuous measurements of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) using the eddy-covariance method were made over an agricultural ecosystem in the southeastern US. During optimum environmental conditions, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was the primary driver controlling daytime NEE, accounting for as much as 67 to 89% of the variation in NEE. However, soil water content became the dominant factor limiting the NEE-PAR response during the peak growth stage. NEE was significantly depressed when high PAR values coincided with very low soil water content. The presence of a counter-clockwise hysteresis of daytime NEE with PAR was observed during periods of water stress. This is a result of the stomatal closure control of photosynthesis at high vapor pressure deficit and enhanced respiration at high temperature. This result is significant since this hysteresis effect limits the range of applicability of the Michaelis-Menten equation and other related expressions in the determination of daytime NEE as a function of PAR. The systematic presence of hysteresis in the response of NEE to PAR suggests that the gap-filling technique based on a nonlinear regression approach should take into account the presence of water-limited field conditions. Including this step is therefore likely to improve current evaluation of ecosystem response to increased precipitation variability arising from climatic changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The shoot tip-galling waspTetramesa romanaWalker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) has been released for biological control of giant reed or arundo (Arundo donaxL.) (Poaceae), an invasive grass in the USA and Mexico. The role of urea fertilization to improve plant-based mass-rearing was examined. In a greenhouse study, rhizomes were fertilized with urea pellets at rates equivalent to 1000 kg (low), 2000 kg (moderate), and 4000 (high) kg N per ha–1. Total nitrogen content of ungalled stems was significantly 0.60–0.65% higher under low and moderate fertilization compared to unfertilized pots, and shoot water content was elevated 3–4% at all urea levels. Moderate fertilization significantly (by 1.4-fold) increased the relative growth rate of all shoots in pots, but did not affect final dry biomass. Fertilization did not affect number and duration of probing events by females. The percentage of shoots colonized by wasps that were galled, progeny production per shoot and per female, and emergent wasp size were not affected. However, average generation time (adult to adult) of emergent wasps was 4–5 days shorter on shoots in pots under moderate and high urea fertilization. After a four-week wasp emergence period, only 3–9% of progeny remained in fertilized shoots, while 21% of progeny remained inside unfertilized shoots. In field plots, fertilization did not affect gall density per m shoot length or per female released. Urea fertilization increased the efficiency of greenhouse rearing of the arundo wasp and availability of adults for release, even without direct effects on gall production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Provision of fortified juices may provide a convenient method to maintain and increase blood fat-soluble vitamins. Objective To determine whether children consuming orange juice fortified with calcium and combinations of vitamins D, E, and A could increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], α-tocopherol, and retinol levels. Design A 12-week randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Participants/setting One hundred eighty participants (aged 8.04±1.42 years) were recruited at Tufts (n=70) and Boston University (n=110) during 2005-2006. Of those recruited, 176 children were randomized into three groups: CaD (700 mg calcium+200 IU vitamin D), CaDEA (700 mg calcium+200 III vitamin D+12 IU vitamin E+2,000 IU vitamin A as beta carotene), or Ca (700 mg calcium). Children consumed two 240-mL glasses of CaD, CaDEA, or Ca fortified orange juice daily for 12 weeks. Main outcome measures Serum 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, and retinol concentrations. Statistical analyses Changes in 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were examined. Covariates included sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and baseline 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, or parathyroid hormone levels. Multivariate models and repeated measures analysis of variance tested for group differences with pre-post measures (n=141). Results Baseline 25(OH)D was 68.4±27.7 nmol/L (27.4±11.10 ng/mL)), with 21.7% of participants having inadequate 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/L [20.03 ng/mL]). The CaD group's 25(OH)D increase was greater than that of the Ca group (12.7 nmol/L [5.09 ng/mL], 95% CI 1.3 to 24.1; P=0.029). The CaDEA group's increase in a-tocopherol concentration was greater than that in the Ca or CaD groups (3.79 µmol/L [0.16 µg/mL], 95% CI 2.5 to 5.1 and 3.09 (µmol/L [0.13 µg/mL], 95% C -1.8 to 4.3), respectively (P<0.0001). Retinol levels did not change, and body weight remained as expected for growth. Conclusions Daily consumption of orange juice providing 200 IU vitamin D and 12 IU vitamin E increased 25(OH)D and a-tocopherol concentrations in young children within 12 weeks.

AB  - The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) is a non-profit organisation providing an independent review of products intended for use in organic production systems to certify compliance with US national organic standards. Since all adjuvants to be used in organic agriculture production are required to meet these standards, OMRI's certified list of products is a convenient starting point when developing organic pest control formulations. In the current study, six OMRI-certified surfactants are tested for their compatibility with three common entomopathogens:Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium brunneumandIsaria fumosorosea. The fungi were evaluated in two common propagule forms, solid-state produced conidia and liquid-media produced blastospores. The results show that most of the surfactants are compatible with the fungi at a high surfactant concentration (2% w/v). In general, the conidia showed a higher susceptibility (greater reduction in spore germination) to the surfactants than the blastospores under these conditions. In addition, the surface tension and foaming properties of the surfactants were determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genetic variation at the Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput ( CLOCK) locus has been associated with lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, it has been suggested that the disruption of the circadian system may play a causal role in manifestations of MetS. The aim of this research was to find out whether habitual consumption of a low-fat diet, compared with a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil, modulates the associations between common CLOCK single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ( rs1801260, rs3749474 and rs4580704) and lipid and glucose-related traits among MetS patients. Plasma lipid and insulin concentrations, indexes related with insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)) and CLOCK SNPs were determined in 475 MetS subjects participating in the CORDIOPREV clinical trial (NCT00924937). Gene-diet interactions were analyzed after a year of dietary intervention (Mediterranean diet (35% fat, 22% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA)) versus low-fat diet (28% fat, 12% MUFA)). We found significant gene-diet interactions between rs1801260 SNP and the dietary pattern for insulin concentrations ( p = 0.009), HOMA-IR ( p = 0.014) and QUICKI ( p = 0.028). Specifically, after 12 months of low-fat intervention, subjects who were homozygous for the major allele (TT) displayed lower plasma insulin concentrations ( p = 0.032), lower insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; p = 0.027) and higher insulin sensitivity (QUICKI; p = 0.024) compared with carriers of the minor allele C (TC + CC). In contrast, in the Mediterranean intervention group a different trend was observed although no significant differences were found between CLOCK genotypes after 12 months of treatment. Our data support the notion that a chronic consumption of a healthy diet may play a contributing role in triggering glucose metabolism by interacting with the rs1801260 SNP at CLOCK gene locus in MetS patients. Due to the complex nature of gene-environment interactions, dietary adjustment in subjects with the MetS may require a personalized approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This communication reports conversion phenomena in which CO2 and H2O gases are transformed into CO and H2, respectively, when exposed to a mixture of molten CaO-rich metallurgical slag and V2O3-rich gasifier slag. On reaction, CO2 and H2O are thermodynamically driven to become CO and H2, respectively, by giving up oxygen over the formation of calcium orthovanadate in the slag. The concept was experimentally investigated with a synthetic slag heated to 1500 °C (an assumed slag tap-out temperature in the metallurgical industry) in a CO2 saturated atmosphere. On heating, a rapid drop in oxygen partial pressure occurred between 1405 °C and 1460 °C, where 97% of CO2 transformed to CO. Potential industrial applications with the H2O-to-H2 conversion are then explored using detailed process computations.

AB  - Abstract: Geographically isolated wetlands (GIW), depressional landscape features entirely surrounded by upland areas, provide a wide range of ecological functions and ecosystem services for human well-being. Current and future ecosystem management and decision-making rely on a solid scientific understanding of how hydrologic processes affect these important GIW services and functions, and in turn on how GIWs affect downstream surface water systems. Consequently, quantifying the hydrologic connectivity of GIWs to other surface water systems (including streams, rivers, lakes, and other navigable waters) and the processes governing hydrologic connectivity of GIWs at a variety of watershed scales has become an important topic for the scientific and decision-making communities. We review examples of potential mechanistic modeling tools that could be applied to further advance scientific understanding concerning: (1) The extent to which hydrologic connections between GIWs and other surface waters exist, and (2) How these connections affect downstream hydrology at the scale of watersheds. Different modeling approaches involve a variety of domain and process conceptualizations, and numerical approximations for GIW-related questions. We describe select models that require only limited modifications to model the interaction of GIWs and other surface waters. We suggest that coupled surface–subsurface approaches exhibit the most promise for characterizing GIW connectivity under a variety of flow conditions, though we note their complexity and the high level of modeling expertise required to produce reasonable results. We also highlight empirical techniques that will inform mechanistic models that estimate hydrologic connectivity of GIWs for research, policy, and management purposes. Developments in the related disciplines of remote sensing, hillslope and wetland hydrology, empirical modeling, and tracer studies will assist in advancing current mechanistic modeling approaches to most accurately elucidate connectivity of GIWs to other surface waters and the effects of GIWs on downstream systems at the watershed scale.

AB  - Mega-fires are often defined according to their size and intensity but are more accurately described by their socio-economic impacts. Three factors - climate change, fire exclusion, and antecedent disturbance, collectively referred to as the "mega-fire triangle" - likely contribute to today's mega-fires. Some characteristics of mega-fires may emulate historical fire regimes and can therefore sustain healthy fire-prone ecosystems, but other attributes decrease ecosystem resiliency. A good example of a program that seeks to mitigate mega-fires is located in Western Australia, where prescribed burning reduces wildfire intensity while conserving ecosystems. Crown-fire-adapted ecosystems are likely at higher risk of frequent mega-fires as a result of climate change, as compared with other ecosystems once subject to frequent less severe fires. Fire and forest managers should recognize that mega-fires will be a part of future wildland fire regimes and should develop strategies to reduce their undesired impacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The adequate time to perform physical activity (PA) to maintain optimal circadian system health has not been defined. We studied the influence of morning and evening PA on circadian rhythmicity in 16 women with wrist temperature (WT). Participants performed controlled PA (45 min continuous-running) during 7 days in the morning (MPA) and evening (EPA) and results were compared with a no-exercise-week (C). EPA was characterized by a lower amplitude (evening: 0.028 ± 0.01 °C versus control: 0.038 ± 0.016 °C; p < 0.05) less pronounced second-harmonic (power) (evening: 0.41 ± 0.47 versus morning: 1.04 ± 0.59); and achrophase delay (evening: 06:35 ± 02:14 h versus morning: 04:51 ± 01:11 h; p < 0.05) as compared to MPA and C. Performing PA in the late evening might not be as beneficial as in the morning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Hydrologic and erosion responses to wildfire along the rangeland-xeric forest continuum in the western US: a review and model of hydrologic vulnerability.

AB  - The recent increase in wildfire activity across the rangeland-xeric forest continuum in the western United States has landscape-scale consequences in terms of runoff and erosion. Concomitant cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) invasions, plant community transitions and a warming climate in recent decades along grassland-shrubland-woodland-xeric forest transitions have promoted frequent and large wildfires, and continuance of the trend appears likely if warming climate conditions prevail. These changes potentially increase overall hydrologic vulnerability by spatially and temporally increasing soil exposure to runoff and erosion processes. Plot and hillslope-scale studies demonstrate burning may increase event runoff or erosion by factors of 2-40 over small-plot scales and more than 100-fold over large-plot to hillslope scales. Reports of flooding and debris flow events from rangelands and xeric forests following burning show the potential risk to natural resources, property, infrastructure and human life. We present a conceptual model for evaluating post-fire hydrologic vulnerability and risk. We suggest that post-fire risk assessment of potential hydrologic hazards should adopt a probability-based approach that considers varying site susceptibility in conjunction with a range of potential storms and that determines the hydrologic response magnitudes likely to affect values-at-risk. Our review suggests that improved risk assessment requires better understanding in several key areas including quantification of interactions between varying storm intensities and measures of site susceptibility, the varying effects of soil water repellency, and the spatial scaling of post-fire hydrologic response across rangeland-xeric forest plant communities. This paper reviews the potential hydrologic and erosion consequences of increased wildfire activity associated with cheatgrass invasions, plant community transitions and warming climate along the rangeland-xeric forest continuum in the western United States. A conceptual model of post-fire hydrologic vulnerability and risk is presented and key knowledge gaps that limit post-fire risk assessment are identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Results showed that one species was antibody-positive for pseudorabies virus (PRV), and two others were infested with winter tick. The article notes that feral swine may host commercial swine pathogen like PRV, and can increase host diversity for parasites like the winter tick, and that the findings warrant further investigation on its expanding population.

N2  - Background/Objectives: Flavanols may provide protection against insulin resistance, but little is known about the amounts and types of flavanols that may be efficacious. Subjects/Methods: This study was designed to determine whether cocoa flavanols, over a range of intakes, improve biomarkers of glucose regulation, inflammation and hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance. As an adjunct, green tea and cocoa flavanols were compared for their ability to modulate these biomarkers. In a randomized crossover design, 20 adults consumed a controlled diet for 5 days along with four cocoa beverages containing 30-900 mg flavanol per day, or tea matched to a cocoa beverage for monomeric flavanol content. Results: Cocoa beverages produced no significant changes in glucose, insulin, total area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for glucose or total insulin AUC. As the dose of cocoa flavanols increased, total 8-isoprostane concentrations were lowered (linear contrast, P=0.02), as were C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (linear contrast, P=0.01). The relationship between cocoa flavanol levels and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations was quadratic, suggesting that a maximum effective dose was achieved (quadratic contrast, P=0.01). There were no significant effects on measured indices of glucose regulation, nor on those of total 8-isoprostane, CRP and IL-6 concentrations, when cocoa and green tea were compared. However, relative to cocoa, green tea lowered fibrinogen concentrations (P=0.0003). Conclusions: Short-term intake of cocoa and green tea flavanols does not appear to improve glucose metabolism; they do affect selected markers of one or more measures of oxidative stress, inflammation or hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance.

N2  - This article provides a comparison of levels and growth of agricultural total factor productivity between Australia, Canada, and the United States for the 1961-2006 period. A production account for agriculture that is consistent across the three countries is constructed to estimate output, input and total factor productivity, and a dynamic panel regression is used to link the productivity estimates to potential determinants. We show that investment in public research and development and infrastructure plays an important role in explaining differences in productivity levels between countries. The findings provide useful insights into how public policy could be used to sustain agricultural productivity growth.

N2  - Restaurant foods are typically higher in calories than meals consumed at home. A goal of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to encourage healthier food choices at restaurants by providing consumers with information about the calorie content of menu items. However, doesn't a well-informed consumer already know that a 12-piece bucket of chicken has more calories than a salad? Following research in marketing science and behavioral economics, we evaluate a representative consumer's ability to discriminate between low-calorie and high-calorie menu items using only some basic "rules of thumb" nutrition knowledge. Results reveal the extent to which menu labeling may increase consumers' knowledge about the calories in restaurant foods.

N2  - Using 7 years of household-level scanner data, we use a hedonic pricing model to estimate the organic price premium for four retail-level food products. In each case, we find strong organic premiums of about 30% for bagged carrots, over 40% for canned soup, over 50% for coffee, and over 70% for milk. Using the estimated results from the hedonic price model, we pool the results across products, markets, and years, and then estimate a novel second-stage model where we uncover retail-level market factors associated with higher or lower premiums. For example, we find that category-level organic sales are associated with higher organic price premiums, whereas category-level nonorganic sales are associated with lower premiums. Taken collectively, our results suggest that organic price premiums are not threatened in the near term, but that several competing factors help moderate the size of the premiums.

N2  - As part of efforts to position the United States as a leader in clean energy technology production, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued two Critical Materials Strategy reports, which assessed 16 materials on the basis of their importance to clean energy development and their supply risk (DOE, 2010, 2011). To understand the implications for clean energy of disruptions in supplies of critical materials, it is important to understand supply chain dynamics from mining to final product production. As a case study of critical material supply chains, we focus on the supply of two rare earth metals, neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy), for permanent magnets used in wind turbines, electric vehicles and other applications. We introduce GCMat, a dynamic agent-based model that includes interacting agents at five supply chain stages consisting of mining, metal refining, magnet production, final product production and demand. Agents throughout the supply chain make pricing, production and inventory management decisions. Deposit developers choose which deposits to develop based on market conditions and detailed data on 57 rare earth deposits. Wind turbine and electric vehicle producers choose from a set of possible production technologies that require different amounts of rare earths. We ran the model under a baseline scenario and four alternative scenarios with different demand and production technology inputs. Model results from 2010 to 2013 fit well with historical data. Projections through 2025 show a number of possible future price, demand, and supply trajectories. For each scenario, we highlight reasons for turning points under market conditions, for differences between Nd and Dy markets, and for differences between scenarios. Because GCMat can model causal dynamics and provide fine-grain representation of agents and their decisions, it provides explanations for turning points under market conditions that are not otherwise available from other modeling approaches. Our baseline projections show very different behaviors for Nd and Dy prices. Nd prices continue to drop and remain low even at the end of our simulation period as new capacity comes online and leads to a market in which production capacity outpaces demand. Dy price movements, on the other hand, change directions several times with several key turning points related to inventory behaviors of particular agents in the supply chain and asymmetric supply and demand trends. Scenario analyses show the impact of stronger demand growth for rare earths, and in particular finds that Nd price impacts are significantly delayed as compared to Dy. This is explained by the substantial excess production capacity for Nd in the early simulation years that keeps prices down. Scenarios that explore the impact of reducing the Dy content of magnets show the intricate interdependencies of these two markets as price trends for both rare earths reverse directions--reducing the Dy content of magnets reduces Dy demand, which drives down Dy prices and translates into lower magnet prices. This in turn raises the demand for magnets and therefore the demand for Nd and eventually drives up the Nd price.

N2  - Protection from downside risk is a determinant of technology uptake among subsistence agricultural households. Access to credit, insurance and savings may stimulate technology adoption where new methods are riskier but higher-yielding or require sunk costs. In this paper, we employ a dynamic, stochastic, heterogeneous agent model where farm households have access to contingent credit and make savings, technology and loan repayment choices. Our approach is novel as insurance is modeled as a meso-level product, where the bank is indemnified before any payouts are distributed to borrowers; thus, it accounts for both supply- and demand-side concerns, showing a flow of effects when index insurance contracts are sold to risk aggregators for whom basis risk is lower. Results show letting the lender lay first claim on indemnities lowers default, which can decrease interest rates and expand credit access. Insurance and savings may also spur technology uptake.

N2  - This research quantifies changes in consumer welfare due to changes in visitor satisfaction with the availability of information about recreational sites. The authors tested the hypothesis that an improvement in visitor satisfaction with recreation information increases the number of visits to national forests, resulting in increased consumer welfare. They tested the hypothesis with a travel cost model for the Allegheny National Forest using data from the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) programme. An ex ante simulation suggests that annual per capita consumer welfare increased when highly satisfactory recreation information was available. The findings, along with the expected costs of providing better recreation information, may be a useful reference for recreation site managers who wish to increase the number of visits in an economically effective way.

N2  - We study farm real estate values in the Barnett shale (Texas) and the northeastern part of the Marcellus shale (Pennsylvania and New York). We find that shale gas development caused appreciation in real estate values in both areas but the effect was much larger for the Marcellus, suggesting broader ownership of oil and gas rights by surface owners. In both regions, the greatest appreciation occurred when land was leased for drilling, not when drilling and production boomed. We find evidence that effects vary by farm type, which may reflect correlation between farm type and ownership of oil and gas rights.

N2  - This paper examines how university research alliances and other cooperative links with universities contribute to startup employment growth. We argue that 'scientific absorptive capacity' at the startup is critical for reaping the benefits from university research alliances, but not necessarily for other university connections. We also estimate the aggregate employment contribution from startup firms and attribute those employment gains to university research alliances and other university connections. We find significant contributions to employment growth from university research alliances and other university connections, but scientific absorptive capacity is critical for university research alliances. Only 7% of the startup population maintained a university research alliance, but among these firms, 3.4% of their total jobs created were attributable to their alliances. These results suggest that university connections are quite important for job growth and university research alliances contributed substantially to job creation for those firms that had such alliances.

N2  - This study evaluates the tradeoff between agricultural production and water quality at both the watershed scale and the farm scale, using an integrated economic-biophysical hybrid genetic algorithm. We apply a multi-input, multi-output profit maximization model to detailed farm-level production data from the Oregon Willamette Valley to predict each producer's response to a targeted fertilizer tax policy. Their resulting production decisions are included in a biophysical model of basin-level soil and water quality. Building on a general regulation problem for nonpoint pollution, we use a hybrid genetic algorithm to integrate the economic and biophysical models into one bilevel multiobjective optimization problem, the joint maximization of farm profits and minimization of Nitrate runoff resulting from fertilizer usage. This approach allows us to more fully endogenize fertilizer reduction cost, rather than assume an average cost relationship. The solution set of tax rates generates the Pareto optimal frontier at the watershed level. We then measure the tradeoffs between maximum profit and Nitrogen loading for individual farms, subject to the solution fertilizer tax policy. We find considerable variation in tradeoff values across the basin, which could be used to target incentives for reducing Nitrogen loading to agricultural producers under non-uniform control strategies.

T1  - An Approach to Computing Marginal Land Use Change Carbon Intensities for Bioenergy in Policy Applications

N2  - Accurately characterizing the emissions implications of bioenergy is increasingly important to the design of regional and global greenhouse gas mitigation policies. Market-based policies, in particular, often use information about carbon intensity to adjust relative deployment incentives for different energy sources. However, the carbon intensity of bioenergy is difficult to quantify because carbon emissions can occur when land use changes to expand production of bioenergy crops rather than simply when the fuel is consumed as for fossil fuels. Using a long-term, integrated assessment model, this paper develops an approach for computing the carbon intensity of bioenergy production that isolates the marginal impact of increasing production of a specific bioenergy crop in a specific region, taking into account economic competition among land uses. We explore several factors that affect emissions intensity and explain these results in the context of previous studies that use different approaches. Among the factors explored, our results suggest that the carbon intensity of bioenergy production from land use change (LUC) differs by a factor of two depending on the region in which the bioenergy crop is grown in the United States. Assumptions about international land use policies (such as those related to forest protection) and crop yields also significantly impact carbon intensity. Finally, we develop and demonstrate a generalized method for considering the varying time profile of LUC emissions from bioenergy production, taking into account the time path of future carbon prices, the discount rate and the time horizon. When evaluated in the context of power sector applications, we found electricity from bioenergy crops to be less carbon-intensive than conventional coal-fired electricity generation and often less carbon-intensive than natural-gas fired generation.

N2  - Field trials were conducted to demonstrate the need for correcting sampled spray concentration data for sampler collection efficiencies and estimated spray exposure levels in mosquito bioassays for cage interference effects. A large spray block was targeted with aerial spray treatments of etofenprox in order to create a gradient in both spray concentration and mortality. Spray concentrations were measured using rotary impactors, which were coupled with caged bioassays. Measured spray concentrations were corrected for sampler collection efficiencies, which ranged from 55% to 15%. The corrected spray concentrations were then used to estimate the spray levels inside the bioassay cages. Given the cage type used (Townzen type) and wind speeds occurring during the spray trials (2-4 m/sec), concentrations inside of the bioassay cage ranged from 65% to 68% of that measured within the spray block. Not correcting for the combination of sampler collection efficiency and cage interference, underestimated spray concentration levels inside the cages were 76-90%. Correcting field-measured data allows not only better comparisons between differing studies, but can also provide better estimates of caged insect mortality versus actual spray concentration exposure levels.

N2  - Background. In this pilot study, we examined school-aged children's familiarity and willingness to try fruits and vegetables (FV) and the impact of a 6-week school-based snack feeding intervention on familiarity and consumption of FV. Methods. In all, 190 fourth- to sixth-grade students from a rural Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) school participated. Measures included surveys assessing familiarity and willingness to try FV and direct observation of FV snack consumption. Results. At baseline, the majority of students provided correct name recognition for 6 of the 11 snacks offered, whereas name recognition increased significantly for the other 5 FV postintervention. Similarly, previous eating experience increased for 7 of the 11 FV offered. On average, a higher percentage of the fruit (54% to 98%) and vegetable (49% to 50%) snacks offered were consumed by the students. Willingness to try and grade level were the strongest predictors of fruit and vegetable snack consumption. Conclusions. These results suggest that an FV snack feeding intervention can increase the familiarity, and thereby potentially, the amount of FV consumed by LMD school children. Further research is warranted to determine if the positive effects of such programs extend beyond the school environment and into the home.

N2  - Glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1/2) are cosecreted from endocrine L cells in the gut and preproglucagonergic neurons in the brain. Peripheral GLP-2 action is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, improving absorption efficiency and blood flow, promoting immune defense, and producing efficacy in treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. However, it is unknown if CNS GLP-2 plays a physiological role in the control of energy homeostasis. Since GLP-1/2 are cotranslated from preproglucagongene and coproduced by prohormone convertase-1, it is challenging to knockout GLP-2 only. Instead, our laboratory has generated a Glp2r-floxed mouse line to dissect cell-specific (GLP-2 receptor GLP-2R) action in the regulation of energy balance. Our objective was to determine if GLP-2R in the hypothalamus modulates feeding behavior and gastric emptying. We show that Glp2r mRNA and protein are highly expressed in the arcuate nucleus and dorsomedial nucleus of the mouse hypothalamus. Using the Cre-LoxP system, we generated mice that lack Glp2r expression in POMC neurons (KO; mainly in the hypothalamus). The KO mice showed hyperphagic behavior (such as increases in food intake and meal frequency), accelerated gastric emptying (assessed by [13C]octanoic acid breath test), and late-onset obesity, yet there was no decrease in basal metabolic rate. Infusion of GLP-2 (2.5 nmol into the 4th ventricle) suppressed food intake and gastric emptying, while GLP-2-mediated effects were abolished in the melanocortin receptor-4 (MC4R) KO mice. We conclude that Glp2r deletion in POMC neurons enhances feeding behavior and gastric motility, whereas icv GLP-2R activation suppresses food intake and gastric emptying through the MC4R signaling pathway. This study indicates that CNS GLP-2R plays a physiological role in the control of feeding behavior and gastric emptying and that this is mediated probably through the melanocortin system.

Meso-zeaxanthin (MZ) is also found in the macula, but is derived from L. It has been reported that MZ was found in certain fish and seafood. However, concentrations were not quantitated. MZ is used as an ingredient in poultry feed in Mexico but not in the United States (US). The purpose of this work was to quantify MZ in fish, seafood, and egg in efforts to determine dietary contributions to its presence in the macula. Fish, seafood and eggs from California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Mexico were analyzed for L, Z, and MZ using reverse- and chiral normal-phase HPLC. For all fish and seafoods, L, Z, and MZ were not detected. In eggs from the US, L+Z levels ranged from 1.0 to 1.6 mg/100 g yolk with L levels being 1.3-1.6 times higher than that of Z. One egg (California) contained a small amount of MZ (0.01 mg/100 g yolk). Carotenoid concentrations were significantly higher in Mexican eggs (p&lt;0.025, 3.44 mg/100 g yolk) with the ratio of L:Z:MZ being 1:1:1.3. In the US the presence of MZ in the macula is not likely due to dietary sources, although this a possibility when consuming eggs of chickens fed MZ.

N2  - Chokeberries are a rich source of anthocyanins, which may contribute to the prevention of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to determine if an extract from chokeberries would reduce weight gain in rats fed a fructose-rich diet (FRD) and to explore the potential mechanisms related to insulin signalling, adipogenesis and inflammatory-related pathways. Wistar rats were fed a FRD for 6 weeks to induce insulin resistance, with or without chokeberry extract (CBE) added to the drinking-water (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, daily: CBE100 and CBE200). Both doses of CBE consumption lowered epididymal fat, blood glucose, TAG, cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. CBE consumption also elevated plasma adiponectin levels and inhibited plasma TNF-α and IL6, compared with the control group. There were increases in the mRNA expression for Irs1, Irs2, Pi3k, Glut1, Glut4 and Gys1, and decreases in mRNA levels of Gsk3β. The protein and gene expression of adiponectin and Pparγ mRNA levels were up-regulated and Fabp4, Fas and Lpl mRNA levels were inhibited. The levels of gene expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as Il1β, Il6 and Tnfα were lowered, and protein and gene expression of ZFP36 (zinc finger protein) were enhanced in the epididymal adipose tissue of the rats that consumed the CBE200 extract. In summary, these results suggest that the CBE decreased risk factors related to insulin resistance by modulating multiple pathways associated with insulin signalling, adipogenesis and inflammation.

N2  - Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2 were shown to be activated by saturated fatty acids (SFAs) but inhibited by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, one report suggested that SFA-induced TLR activation in cell culture systems is due to contaminants in BSA used for solubilizing fatty acids. This report raised doubt about proinflammatory effects of SFAs. Our studies herein demonstrate that sodium palmitate (C16:0) or laurate (C12:0) without BSA solubilization induced phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB α, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p44/42 mitogen-activated-kinase (ERK), and nuclear factor-κB subunit p65, and TLR target gene expression in THP1 monocytes or RAW264.7 macrophages, respectively, when cultured in low FBS (0.25%) medium. C12:0 induced NFκB activation through TLR2 dimerized with TLR1 or TLR6, and through TLR4. Because BSA was not used in these experiments, contaminants in BSA have no relevance. Unlike in suspension cells (THP-1), BSA-solubilized C16:0 instead of sodium C16:0 is required to induce TLR target gene expression in adherent cells (RAW264.7). C16:0-BSA transactivated TLR2 dimerized with TLR1 or TLR6 and through TLR4 as seen with C12:0. These results and additional studies with the LPS sequester polymixin B and in MyD88-/- macrophages indicated that SFA-induced activation of TLR2 or TLR4 is a fatty acid-specific effect, but not due to contaminants in BSA or fatty acid preparations.

N2  - The hypothesis of the present study was that physical activity improves diet-induced obesity in young adult mice. Four-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (n=15/group) were fed the AIN93G diet or a 45% high-fat diet (% kJ) with or without access to in-cage activity wheels for 14 weeks. The high-fat diet increased percentage fat body mass compared to the AIN93G diet (P=.042); running reduced percentage fat body mass (P&lt;.0001) and increased percentage lean body mass (P&lt;.0001) in mice fed either diet. Compared with the AIN93G diet, the high-fat diet increased plasma concentrations of insulin (P&lt;.05) and leptin (P&lt;.05) in sedentary mice and inflammatory cytokines monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) (P&lt;.05) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (P&lt;.05) in both sedentary and running mice. The high-fat diet did not affect angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor-BB. Running reduced plasma insulin (P&lt;.05) and MCP-1 (P&lt;.05) and increased platelet-derived growth factor-BB (P&lt;.05) in mice fed the high-fat diet. Running reduced leptin (P&lt;.05) and increased plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (P&lt;.0001) regardless of diet fed. In summary, consumption of the high-fat diet increased adiposity in young adult mice; running reduced adiposity, normalized plasma insulin and leptin, and reduced MCP-1 despite continued consumption of the high-fat diet. These results suggest that voluntary running may reduce diet-induced obesity and proinflammation and that young mice may be a useful model of their human age equivalents in studying moderate physical exercise and obesity and obesity-related diseases.

N2  - Distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) may have more value and utility if they can be separated into high protein and high fiber fractions. A variety of such separation processes have been proposed; two of the most promising processes involve three screening and three air classification unit operations. In the present study, an alternative process involving fewer unit operations is demonstrated. DDGS are subjected to a single screening, and the oversize particles are processed in a mill setup so that it narrows the particle size distribution of the oversize fraction. The milled DDGS is then processed in an air classification device known as an aspirator, which separates it into high and low terminal velocity fractions. The combination of the undersize fraction and the low terminal velocity fraction were substantially enriched in protein. The separation achieved by this process compares favorably to other reported processes while being less complex.

N2  - After the 2001 and 2004 Salmonellosis outbreaks that were associated with raw almonds, ensuring the microbial safety of almonds by treating them to achieve a minimum 4-log reduction of Salmonella population became mandatory in California, the world's largest almond producer. In this paper, we summarize potential pathways of microbial contamination during almond production and manufacturing. Furthermore, we review sanitization technologies, including chemical, thermal, and non-thermal methods, as well as proprietary systems with regard to microbial and sensory quality of almonds and compare various aspects of their use during almond processing.

N2  - Three different cultivars of drought, salt and boron (B) tolerant Opuntia ficus indica (Cactus pear) were grown in poor-quality agricultural drainage sediment high in salt, B and selenium (Se) that originated from the Westside San Joaquin Valley. Nutritional contents were then measured in these Cactus pear fruit (purple, red, or orange-coloured), and vegetative cladodes (modified stem-like leaves) compared to the same cultivars grown adjacent on a low saline sandy loam soil. After harvesting fruit and cladodes, the mineral nutrients, chemical speciation of Se, total phenolics, vitamin C and antioxidant status were analyzed. The results demonstrated positive nutritional changes in both cladodes and fruit within the Cactus pear cultivars when grown on agricultural drainage sediment compared to those grown on normal soil. Under these conditions Cactus pear plants contained nutraceutical qualities and represent a useful anticarcinogenic Se-enriched chemotherapeutic food crop for providing advanced dietary seleno-pharmacology in order to help fight human diseases.

AB  - We explore three trends in rural southern Mexico (Fair Trade coffee, migration, and conditional cash transfers) that could explain the rapid rise in education from 1995–2005 using survey data from 845 coffee farming households in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico. Results from a household fixed-effects model show that household participation in a Fair Trade-organic cooperative contributed to about a 0.7 year increase in schooling for girls. US migration opportunities appear to have even stronger positive impacts on schooling for females. Although participation in Fair Trade-organic cooperatives appears also to have increased male schooling, increased migration opportunities have had an indeterminate effect for males.

AB  - In this study, the authors evaluated how much price changes in food and energy - two basic living expenditures competing for consumers' budgets - would affect consumer welfare. We first estimated a US complete demand system to quantify the interdependent demand relationships among 11 categories of consumption expenditures. Among the estimates, the own price elasticities of both food and energy are relatively inelastic, a finding that explains the dynamics of the recent soaring food and energy prices. The estimated demand elasticities were then incorporated into the measurement of Hicksian compensating variation to analyse the consumer welfare effects of price changes in food and energy. The results indicated that an increase in food and energy prices would increase compensated expenditures or incur a substantial consumer welfare loss, creating an especially heavy burden for low income households.

N2  - High-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) cause severe systemic disease with high mortality in chickens. Isolation of HPAIV from the internal contents of chicken eggs has been reported, and this is cause for concern because HPAIV can be spread by movement of poultry products during marketing and trade activity. This study presents thermal inactivation data for the HPAIV strain A/chicken/PA/1370/83 (H5N2) (PA/83) in dried egg white with a moisture content (7.5%) similar to that found in commercially available spray-dried egg white products. The 95% upper confidence limits for D-values calculated from linear regression of the survival curves at 54.4, 60.0, 65.5, and 71.1°C were 475.4, 192.2, 141.0, and 50.1 min, respectively. The line equation y=[0.05494 ×°C]+5.5693 (root mean square error=0.0711) was obtained by linear regression of experimental D-values versus temperature. Conservative predictions based on the thermal inactivation data suggest that standard industry pasteurization protocols would be very effective for HPAIV inactivation in dried egg white. For example, these calculations predict that a 7-log reduction would take only 2.6 days at 54.4°C.

N2  - Since 11 September 2001, quality and food safety are no longer the concerns of only consumers, industry, regulatory agencies, or other government officials. Liquid foods that are prepared or stored in bulk, including liquid egg products, are considered to be at potential risk for sabotage. Because of their versatility, low price, and functional properties, many of these products are being marketed. Four of the most common products of this type are whole egg, egg albumen, 10% sugared yolk, and 10% salted yolk. Although all of the serotypes of Salmonella enterica may cause illness, multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 has become widespread and can cause severe illness that is difficult to treat. Studies were conducted to determine growth patterns of Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 in four commercial liquid egg products held at 4, 10, 20, 30, 37, and 42°C for 0 to 384 h. All experiments were performed in duplicate and repeated twice. Standard methods were used to estimate cell numbers, and log CFU per gram of egg product was plotted against time. The number of cells of Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 increased to 8 to 9 log CFU/g in whole egg and 10% sugared yolk, increased by 1 log CFU/g in liquid albumen, but decreased by 3 log CFU/g in 10% salted yolk. Data from this study have been archived in the ComBase database to further assist policy makers or other scientists interested in Salmonella growth characteristics in liquid eggs. However, based on data generated in this study, Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 probably does not constitute a food threat agent in liquid eggs.

N2  - Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is an indole-tetramic acid neurotoxin produced by some of the same strains of A. flavus that produce aflatoxins and by some Aspergillus oryzae strains. Despite its discovery 40 years ago, few reviews of its toxicity and biosynthesis have been reported. This review examines what is currently known about the toxicity of CPA to animals and humans, both by itself or in combination with other mycotoxins. The review also discusses CPA biosynthesis and the genetic diversity of CPA production in A. flavus/oryzae populations.

N2  - Immunoassays are routinely used in the screening of commodities and foods for fungal toxins (mycotoxins). Demands to increase speed and lower costs have lead to continued improvements in such assays. Because many reported mycotoxins are low molecular weight (below 1 kDa), immunoassays for their detection have generally been constructed in competitive heterogeneous formats. An exception is fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA), a homogeneous format that does not require the separation of bound and free labels (tracer). The potential for rapid, solution phase, immunoassays has been realized in the development of FPIA for many of the major groups of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, fumonisins, group B trichothecenes (primarily deoxynivalenol), ochratoxin A, and zearalenone. This review describes the basic principles of FPIA and summarizes recent research in this area with regard to mycotoxins.

N2  - How much water does the world need to support growing human populations? What factors influence water quality, droughts, floods, and waterborne diseases? What are the potential effects of climate change on the world's water resources? These questions and more are discussed in this thorough introduction to the complex world of water resources. The strength of the book is its coverage of the fundamentals of the science of water, aquatic ecology, geomorphology and hydrology, supplemented by internet resources and examples from water resource issues in the news to engage the student. The book begins with a short history of human use and influence on water, followed by chapters on the geomorphology, hydrology, chemistry, and biology of lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Major disease issues, worldwide water quality and quantity problems, and potential solutions are addressed. Water laws, water allocation, and the conflicts involved are discussed using US and international examples. Students in departments of environmental studies, life science, Earth science, and engineering will benefit from this broad survey of these crucial issues.

N2  - A conference exploring 'The impact of the environment on innate immunity: the threat of diseases' was held on 4-9 May 2009 in Obergurgl, Austria, thanks to the support from the European Science Foundation, Innsbruck University and the Austrian Science Foundation. The goals of the conference were to explore how the outcomes of host-parasite interactions depend on variation across individuals, their parasites and the environment in which they both find themselves. Central themes were the inherent costs of mounting an immune response, the ability of some organisms to pre-empt infection by 'priming' their immune systems, the fact that parasites learn to evade immune responses over time and the use of theory to predict when diseases will get out of hand. Many of the systems presented had clear impacts on human health, agriculture or the maintenance of complex ecosystems. There was common ground throughout in developing methodologies and embracing what one of the organizers termed the 'interactome' between hosts and those which would exploit them.

N2  - Unlike quantitative analysis, which must commonly undergo an extensive method validation process in labs to assure quality of results, the quality of the qualitative results in the analysis of pesticide residues in food is generally ignored in practice. Instead, chemists tend to rely on advanced MS techniques and general subjective guidelines or fixed acceptability criteria when making analyte identifications. All analytes and matrices have unique characteristics that make this current approach less effective than desirable in many real-world situations. Just as performed in quantitative method validation studies, collection of distinguishing factors of selectivity versus concentration, such as analyte retention time variabilities, ion ratios, matrix background evaluations, choice of ions, and the number of ions to use, provides specific information about the particular application to assess its quality. Empirical analysis of many blind samples to check the rates of false positives and negatives should be performed, at least to better evaluate LOD and reduce the chances of a serious qualitative problem. Familiarization training and review of results by the analyst(s) increase performance, and in any case, the traditional use of two independent analyses should still be relied upon to make chemical confirmations. In this study, an experimental approach to evaluate GC-MS using SIM with a quadrupole instrument and an MS/MS (ion trap) was conducted to assess the qualitative factors of both methods for 16 pesticides fortified (or not) in carrot extracts. Rates of false positives and negatives were compared using different identification criteria, and no single set of conditions was found to be superior for all analytes.

N2  - Background. Multiple micronutrient supplements could increase hemoglobin and improve micronutrient status of pregnant women more than iron supplements alone or iron with folic acid. Objective. To compare the effects of multiple micronutrients with those of iron supplements alone or iron with folic acid, on hemoglobin and micronutrient status of pregnant women. Methods. Studies were identified in which pregnant women were randomized to treatment with multiple micronutrients, or with iron with or without folic acid. A pooled analysis was conducted to compare the effects of these supplements on maternal hemoglobin, anemia, and micronutrient status. Effect size was calculated for individual and combined studies, based on mean change from baseline to final measure in the group receiving iron, with or without folic acid, minus the mean change in the group, divided by the pooled standard deviation of the two groups. The effect on the relative risk of anemia or iron deficiency was calculated as the probability of anemia or iron deficiency in the group receiving multiple micronutrients divided by the probability in the group receiving iron, with or without folic acid. Results. Multiple micronutrient supplements had the same impact on hemoglobin and iron status indicators as iron with or without folic acid. There was no overall effect on serum retinol or zinc. In the only study in which status of other micronutrients was analyzed, a high prevalence of multiple deficiencies persisted in the group receiving multiple micronutrients provided with daily recommended intakes of each nutrient. Conclusions. Multiple micronutrient supplements increased hemoglobin synthesis to the same extent as supplementation with iron with or without folic acid, although often they contained lower amounts of iron. The amount of supplemental iron and other nutrients that can enable pregnant women with micronutrient deficiencies to achieve adequate status remains to be determined.

N2  - Background: The benefit of the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern in mitigating metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease has not been well investigated among nondiabetic Americans. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the prospective association between the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern and metabolic syndrome. Design: The Mediterranean-style dietary pattern score (MSDPS) was used to characterize a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. We examined the longitudinal association between MSDPS and metabolic syndrome traits (including homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, fasting glucose, waist circumference, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure) among 2730 participants of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort without type 2 diabetes (baseline median age: 54 y; 55% women), who were followed from the fifth (baseline) to the seventh study examinations (mean follow-up time: 7 y), and metabolic syndrome incidence (according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III definition) in 1918 participants free of the condition at baseline. Results: A higher MSDPS was associated with lower homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (P=0.02), waist circumference (P&lt;0.001), fasting plasma glucose (P=0.03), and triglycerides (P&lt;0.001) and higher HDL cholesterol (P=0.02) after adjustment for the corresponding baseline values and for several confounding factors associated with type 2 diabetes risk. Participants in the highest quintile category of the MSDPS had a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome than those in the lowest quintile category (38.5% compared with 30.1%; P=0.01). Conclusion: Our study suggests that the consumption of a diet consistent with the principles of the Mediterranean-style diet may protect against metabolic syndrome in Americans.

N2  - We constructed a two-locus database, comprising partial translation elongation factor (EF-1α) gene sequences and nearly full-length sequences of the nuclear ribosomal intergenic spacer region (IGS rDNA) for 850 isolates spanning the phylogenetic breadth of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC). Of the 850 isolates typed, 101 EF-1α, 203 IGS rDNA, and 256 two-locus sequence types (STs) were differentiated. Analysis of the combined dataset suggests that two-thirds of the STs might be associated with a single host plant. This analysis also revealed that the 26 STs associated with human mycoses were genetically diverse, including several which appear to be nosocomial in origin. A congruence analysis, comparing partial EF-1α and IGS rDNA bootstrap consensus, identified a significant number of conflicting relationships dispersed throughout the bipartitions, suggesting that some of the IGS rDNA sequences may be non-orthologous. We also evaluated enniatin, fumonisin and moniliformin mycotoxin production in vitro within a phylogenetic framework.

N2  - Contrary findings are often found among epidemiological studies examining associations of different types of airborne particulates against the same health endpoints. Some studies of heart rate variability (HRV) in humans find associations with either regional particulate material 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) and/or with "sulfate" while some do not; some find associations with more local emissions such as black carbon (BC), while others do not. We explore if there might there be a consistent methodological explanation for inconsistent findings among HRV studies. To do this, we identify studies of HRV changes in humans examining associations with ambient PM2.5 and sulfate, ambient PM2.5 and BC, or all three; we briefly review findings and methodologies, including exposure issues; then we explore why studies may come to different conclusions. We tentatively conclude that differences in accuracy of subject exposure information for health-relevant emissions such as BC, which vary spatially over short distances in urban areas, may explain conflicting study results. HRV studies with accurate exposure information for BC or urban/industrial PM2.5 generally find large, significant associations with BC or urban/industrial PM2.5, but rarely with secondary sulfate or regional emissions generally. However, absent accurate exposure information for BC, studies appear more likely to find associations with less spatially variable secondary sulfate or PM2.5, and less likely to find strong associations with BC. However, research on this subject is limited, as are the number of studies evaluated here. Added research is necessary to confirm these findings (or otherwise), and to explore whether exposure misclassification might cause other health effects results to consistently vary.

N2  - To determine infectivity potential, 3-week-old chickens (Gallus domesticus) (n=11), 2-week-old domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) (n=11), 73-week-old reproductively active turkey hens (Meleagris gallopavo) (n=9), 3-week-old turkey poults (n=11), and 5-week-old Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) (n=11) were intranasally inoculated with infectious doses of influenza A/Mexico/4108/2009(H1N1) strain. Based on the results, pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus was biologically distinct from swine influenza viruses, failing to produce infection in experimentally inoculated turkey hens or chickens, and produced only one seropositive domestic duck. In addition, Japanese quails were infected by high dose intranasal exposure, but replication and shedding was limited to the respiratory tract, and the virus did not transmit to quail by contact, suggesting low potential of poultry involvement as an amplification host for the current pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus. Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus is unlikely to produce sustained outbreaks in poultry unless the virus mutates or reassorts with existing avian influenza viruses.

N2  - Progressive elimination of rabies in wildlife has been a general strategy in Canada and the United States; common campaign tactics are trap-vaccinate-release (TVR), point infection control (PIC), and oral rabies vaccination (ORV). TVR and PIC are labor intensive and the most expensive tactics per unit area (~$616/km2 [in 2008 Can$, converted from the reported $450/km2 in 1991 Can$] and ~$612/km2 [$500/km2 in 1999 Can$], respectively), but these tactics have proven crucial to elimination of raccoon rabies in Canada and to maintenance of ORV zones for preventing the spread of raccoon rabies in the United States. Economic assessments have shown that during rabies epizootics, costs of human postexposure prophylaxis, pet vaccination, public health, and animal control spike. Modeling studies, involving diverse assumptions, have shown that ORV programs can be cost-efficient and yield benefit:cost ratios &gt;1.0.

N2  - Background: Isoflavones are naturally occurring plant estrogens that are abundant in soy. Although purported to protect against bone loss, the efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation in the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women remains controversial. Objective: Our aim was to test the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on bone health. Design: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 24-mo trial was conducted to assess the effects of daily supplementation with 80 or 120 mg of soy hypocotyl aglycone isoflavones plus calcium and vitamin D on bone changes in 403 postmenopausal women. Study subjects were tested annually and changes in whole-body and regional bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and T scores were assessed. Changes in serum biochemical markers of bone metabolism were also assessed. Results: After study site, soy intake, and pretreatment values were controlled for, subjects receiving a daily supplement with 120 mg soy isoflavones had a statistically significant smaller reduction in whole-body BMD than did the placebo group both at 1 y (P&lt;0.03) and at 2 y (P&lt;0.05) of treatment. Smaller decreases in whole-body BMD T score were observed among this group of women at 1 y (P&lt;0.03) but not at 2 y of treatment. When compared with the placebo, soy isoflavone supplementation had no effect on changes in regional BMD, BMC, T scores, or biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Conclusion: Daily supplementation with 120 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones reduces whole-body bone loss but does not slow bone loss at common fracture sites in healthy postmenopausal women.

N2  - Lutein has a well-established role in eye health. There is accumulating evidence that lutein may also play a role in skin health. Its presence in human skin along with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity provide a rationale for a role in preventing ultraviolet-induced damage to skin. Epidemiological studies support a role for diets high in lutein and decreased risk of wrinkling and cancer. Recent intervention studies have shown lutein to prevent ultraviolet-induced carcinogenesis in animals and to improve skin physiology parameters in humans, including antioxidant protection from ultraviolet light irradiation. In this review, the authors explore the rationale and plausibility of a role for lutein in skin health.

N2  - Background: Reduced rank regression (RRR) has been used to derive dietary pattern scores that predict linear combinations of disease biomarkers. The generalizability of these patterns to independent populations remains unknown. Objective: The goal was to examine the generalizability of dietary patterns from the following prior studies using RRR to predict type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Germany (EPIC), and Whitehall II Study (WS). Design: The relative weights of food groups of each dietary pattern were used to generate each dietary pattern score in the Framingham Offspring Study (n=2879). Each of the external scores (confirmatory scores) was examined to determine whether it could predict incident T2DM during 7 y of follow-up as well as scores developed internally in the Framingham Offspring Study using a Cox-proportional hazard model adjusted for T2DM risk factors. Results: Intakes of meat products, refined grains, and soft drinks (caloric and noncaloric) were found to be common predictive components of all confirmatory scores, but fried foods, eggs, and alcoholic beverages were predictive in some, but not in all, confirmatory scores. On the basis of a continuous increase in the score by 1 SD, the NHS-based confirmatory score predicted T2DM risk (hazard ratio: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.66). However, T2DM risk was only weakly predicted by the EPIC-based score (hazard ratio: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.99, 1.32) and the WS-based score (hazard ratio: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.35). Conclusions: The study suggested that dietary patterns that predict T2DM risk in different populations may not be generalizable to different populations. Additional dietary pattern studies should be conducted with regard to generalizability.

N2  - Ginger has been used as a food, dietary supplement, and condiment for centuries. Mycotoxins such as the aflatoxins (AF) and ochratoxin A (OTA) have been reported in ginger roots in several studies. It is important to design effective sampling methods that will accurately and precisely predict the true mycotoxin level in a bulk lot. The objective of this study was to measure the sampling and analytical variability associated with the test procedure used to measure AF and OTA in a bulk lot of powdered ginger using a 5-g laboratory sample and HPLC analytical methods. Twelve 5-g laboratory samples were taken from each of two lots. Duplicate aliquots were removed from each 5-g laboratory sample/solvent blend, and each aliquot was simultaneously analyzed for AF and OTA by HPLC analytical methods. Using a balanced nested design, the total variance associated with the above AF and OTA test procedures was partitioned into sampling and analytical variance components for each lot. Averaged across both lots, the sampling and analytical variances accounted for 87% and 13% of the total variance, respectively, for AF and 97% and 3%, respectively, for OTA. The sampling and analytical coefficients of variation were 9.5% and 3.6%, respectively, for AF, and 16.6% and 2.9%, respectively, for OTA when using a single 5-g laboratory sample and HPLC analytical methods. Equations are derived to show the effect of increasing laboratory sample size and/or number of aliquots on reducing the variability of the test procedures used to estimate OTA and AF in powdered ginger.

N2  - Photochemical reaction of the non-fluorescent mycotoxin cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) to fluorescent products was recently reported. Because CPA contains an indole moiety, believed to contribute to the fluorescence, it was of interest to determine whether the effect might be more generally applicable to indole-containing mycotoxins. Three indole-containing tremorgens (penitrem A, paxilline, verruculogen) that have not previously been reported to be fluorescent were rendered fluorescent by exposure to ultraviolet light in a photoreactor. Naturally fluorescent ergot alkaloids, which also contain an indole-moiety, exhibited a diminished response after exposure. This suggests that the phenomenon may be most useful for detection of indole-containing tremorgens that are non-fluorescent, rather than for the enhancement of materials that are already fluorescent, such as the ergot alkaloids. The extent to which fluorescence enhancement was seen was strongly influenced by the reaction environment, in particular the solvent used and whether cyclodextrins were present. In an HPLC format, placement of the photoreactor post-column allowed for the fluorescence detection of penitrem A, paxilline, and verruculogen. The ability to photoreact indole-containing tremorgens and detect them by fluorescence may open up new avenues for detection of these mycotoxins alone or in combination.

N2  - Objective: To determine if human Zn absorption adapts to chronic high Zn intakes. Methods: Zn absorption was measured at 0, 8, and 16 wk in healthy postmenopausal women who consumed controlled diets with ~5 mg Zn from food, supplemented to 14 (n=6), 32 (n=3), or 47 (n=3) mg Zn/d for 22 wk. Zn absorption for 1 day was determined by 65Zn-labeling of meals and whole body scintillation counting. Results: At wk 0, less Zn was absorbed from diets with 14, compared with 32 or 47 mg/d (4.6, 8.7, and 10.3 mg/d, respectively; pooled SE=0.9; p&lt;0.05). These differences were not apparent at wk 8 (5.4, 5.8, 6.4; NS) and became negligible by wk 16 (5.0, 5.0, 5.1; NS). Plasma Zn concentrations were unaffected. The results are consistent with a saturation response model of Zn absorption. Conclusion: Within several weeks, postmenopausal women biologically adapted to absorb a relatively uniform amount of 5 mg Zn/d when controlled, Zn-supplemented diets supplied consistent Zn intakes between 14 and 47 mg/d.

N2  - The triacylglycerols (TAG) containing dihydroxy fatty acids have been recently identified by mass spectrometry in castor oil. These new dihydroxy fatty acids were proposed as 11,12-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (diOH18:1), 11,12-dihydroxy-9,13-octadecadienoic acid (diOH18:2) and 11,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid (diOH18:0). The ratios of regioisomers of the TAG were estimated by fragment ions from the loss of fatty acids at the sn-2 position as α,β-unsaturated fatty acids by electro spray ionization-mass spectrometry of the lithium adducts (MS3). The content of regioisomeric diOH18:1-OH18:1-diOH18:1 (ABA, with two different fatty acids) was about 92% in the total of stereoisomeric diOH18:1-OH18:1-diOH18:1, OH18:1-diOH18:1-diOH18:1 and diOH18:1-diOH18:1-OH18:1 combined. The approximate contents of other regioisomers were as follows: diOH18:1-OH18:1-OH18:1 (92%), diOH18:1-diOH18:0-diOH18:1 (91%), diOH18:2-OH18:1-OH18:1 (80%) and diOH18:0-OH18:1-OH18:1 (96%). The ratios of regioisomers of TAG (ABC) containing three different fatty acids were estimated as about 7:1:2 (OH18:1:diOH18:1:diOH18:2) and about 7:2:1 (OH18:1:diOH18:0:diOH18:1). Ricinoleate (OH18:1) was predominately at the sn-2 position of TAG (both AAB and ABC) containing dihydroxy fatty acids and ricinoleate. Dihydroxy fatty acids were mainly at the sn-1,3 positions of TAG containing dihydroxy fatty acids and ricinoleate in castor oil. The ratios of the three regioisomers of TAG (ABC) containing three different fatty acids by mass spectrometry are first reported here.

N2  - Glutamate is a main constituent of dietary protein and is also consumed in many prepared foods as an additive in the form of monosodium glutamate. Evidence from human and animal studies indicates that glutamate is a major oxidative fuel for the gut and that dietary glutamate is extensively metabolized in first pass by the intestine. Glutamate also is an important precursor for bioactive molecules, including glutathione, and functions as a key neurotransmitter. The dominant role of glutamate as an oxidative fuel may have therapeutic potential for improving function of the infant gut, which exhibits a high rate of epithelial cell turnover. Our recent studies in infant pigs show that when glutamate is fed at higher (4-fold) than normal dietary quantities, most glutamate molecules are either oxidized or metabolized by the mucosa into other nonessential amino acids. Glutamate is not considered to be a dietary essential, but recent studies suggest that the level of glutamate in the diet can affect the oxidation of some essential amino acids, namely leucine. Given that substantial oxidation of leucine occurs in the gut, ongoing studies are investigating whether dietary glutamate affects the oxidation of leucine in the intestinal epithelial cells. Our studies also suggest that at high dietary intakes, free glutamate may be absorbed by the stomach as well as the small intestine, thus implicating the gastric mucosa in the metabolism of dietary glutamate. Glutamate is a key excitatory amino acid, and metabolism and neural sensing of dietary glutamate in the developing gastric mucosa, which is poorly developed in premature infants, may play a functional role in gastric emptying. These and other recent reports raise the question as to the metabolic role of glutamate in gastric function. The physiologic significance of glutamate as an oxidative fuel and its potential role in gastric function during infancy are discussed.

N2  - To determine the contributions of galactose and fructose to glucose formation, 6 subjects (26±2 years old; body mass index, 22.4±0.2 kg/m2) (mean±SE) were studied during fasting conditions. Three subjects received a primed constant intravenous infusion of [6,6-2H2]glucose for 3 hours followed by oral bolus ingestion of galactose labeled to 2% with [U-13C]galactose (0.72 g/kg); the other 3 subjects received a primed constant intravenous infusion of [6,6-2H2]glucose followed by either a bolus ingestion of fructose alone (0.72 g/kg) (labeled to 2% with [U-13C]fructose) or coingestion of fructose (labeled with [U-13C]fructose) (0.72 g/kg) and unlabeled glucose (0.72 g/kg). Four hours after ingestion, subjects received 1 mg of glucagon intravenously to stimulate glycogenolysis. When galactose was ingested alone, the area under the curve (AUC) of [13C6]glucose and [13C3]glucose was 7.28±0.39 and 3.52±0.05 mmol/L per 4 hours, respectively. When [U-13C]fructose was ingested with unlabeled fructose or unlabeled fructose plus glucose, no [13C6]glucose was detected in plasma. The AUC of [13C3]glucose after fructose and fructose plus glucose ingestion was 20.21±2.41 and 6.25±0.34 mmol/L per 4 hours, respectively. Comparing the AUC for the 13C3 vs 13C6 enrichments, 67% of oral galactose enters the systemic circulation via a direct route and 33% via an indirect route. In contrast, fructose only enters the systemic circulation via the indirect route. Finally, when ingested alone, fructose and galactose contribute little to glycogen synthesis. After the coingestion of fructose and glucose with the resultant insulin response from the glucose, fructose is a significant contributor to glycogen synthesis.

N2  - In the United States, oxytetracycline (OTC) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in salmon, catfish and lobster; worldwide, it is the most prominent therapeutant in aquaculture. In this study, OTC and 4-epiOTC residues in salmon muscle were determined using a portable analyzer based on europium-sensitized luminescence (ESL). Extraction was performed first in EDTA/metaphosphoric acid/NaCl/hexane and then in metaphosphoric acid. After centrifugation, cleanup was carried out using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges. The ESL intensity, integrated over a 25-1000 µs interval, was linear (r2=0.9999) over three orders of magnitude. In comparison to xenon flashlamp, light-emitting diode (LED) excitation reduced background noise by sixfold to 6.4 ng g-1. Without prior chromatographic separation, this ESL method/instrument combination achieved 10.9 ng g-1 limit of detection and &lt;2% average relative standard deviation. Average recovery was 82.0, 83.6 and 86.8% at 50, 100 and 2000 ng g-1, respectively.

N2  - Selenium (Se) is essential for sperm function and male fertility, but high Se intake has been associated with impaired semen quality. We reported previously a decrease in sperm motility in men fed high-Se foods, but we could not rule out the influence of other environmental and dietary factors. We now report on a randomized, controlled study on the potential adverse effects of Se supplementation on semen quality in 42 free-living men administered Se (300 µg/d) as high-Se yeast for 48 weeks. Semen analysis was performed 4 times before treatment began, then twice each week during treatment at 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks, and then after treatment at 72 and 96 weeks. Blood samples were collected 3 times before treatment and at each subsequent visit. Se concentration increased 61% in blood plasma and 49% in seminal plasma. However, Se supplementation had no effect on sperm Se, serum androgen concentrations, or sperm count, motility, progressive velocity, or morphology. We observed progressive decreases in serum luteinizing hormone, semen volume, and sperm Se in both the high-Se and placebo groups. Moreover, sperm straight-line velocity and percent normal morphology increased in Se-treated and placebo-treated participants. The lack of an increase in sperm Se suggests that testicular Se stores were unaffected, even though the participants' dietary Se intake was tripled and their total body Se approximately doubled by supplementation. These results are consistent with animal studies showing the Se status of testes to be unresponsive to dietary Se intake.

N2  - A major mode of transmission of Cryptosporidium parvum, a widespread waterborne pathogen, is via contaminated drinking and recreational waters. Oocyst transport to surface water can occur by deposition of manure directly in the water or by wash off in surface runoff. Oocyst transport to groundwater is less straightforward and requires that the oocysts move through soil and bedrock to reach the water table. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative concentration and infectivity of C. parvum oocysts released from manure and leached through columns of undisturbed, macroporous karst soil. Modeling the fate of oocysts in this system over time can provide baseline data for evaluating real world events. Substantially more oocysts leached from undisturbed soil columns than disturbed soil columns. Oocyst survival studies using BALB/c neonatal suckling mice showed that about 85% of oocysts were infective at the beginning of leaching experiments. The oocyst infectivity decreased to about 20% after 12 weeks of leaching from soil columns maintained at 10°C. Cool (10°C) temperatures appear to increase survivability and maintain infectivity of many oocysts for 3 months or longer. Cool temperatures also appear to increase rates of release of oocysts from manure and leaching through soil. This study demonstrated that leaching is an important mechanism of oocyst transport in karst soils where infiltration capacities are high and long, continuous macropores exist. Karst groundwater systems might be especially vulnerable to contamination by leached oocysts, because of the prevalence of shallow soils and rapid groundwater movement. Oocysts leaching from soils into the epikarst could accumulate and remain viable for months until hydrological conditions are right for flushing the oocysts into the conduit flow system.

N2  - Cluster analysis is a valuable tool for exploring the health consequences of consuming different dietary patterns. We used this approach to examine the cross-sectional relationship between dietary patterns and insulin-resistant phenotypes, including waist circumference, BMI, fasting insulin, 2 h post-challenge insulin, insulin sensitivity index (ISI0,120), HDL-cholesterol, TAG and blood pressure, using data from the fifth examination cycle of the Framingham Offspring Study. Among 2875 participants without diabetes, we identified four dietary patterns based on the predominant sources of energy: 'Fruits, Reduced Fat Dairy and Whole Grains', 'Refined Grains and Sweets', 'Beer' and 'Soda'. After adjusting for multiple comparisons and potential confounders, compared with the 'Fruits, Reduced Fat Dairy and Whole Grains' pattern, the 'Refined Grains and Sweets' pattern had significantly higher mean waist circumference (92.4 v. 90.5 cm; P=0.008) and BMI (27.3 v. 26.6 kg/m2; P=0.02); the 'Soda' pattern had significantly higher mean fasting insulin concentration (31.3 v. 28.0 µU/ml; P≤0.001); the 'Beer' pattern had significantly higher mean HDL-cholesterol concentration (1.46 v. 1.31 mmol/l; P&lt;0.001). No associations were observed between dietary patterns and ISI0,120, TAG, and systolic or diastolic blood pressure. Our findings suggest that consumption of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and reduced-fat dairy protects against insulin-resistant phenotypes and displacing these healthy choices with refined grains, high-fat dairy, sweet baked foods, candy and sugar-sweetened soda may promote insulin-resistant phenotypes.

N2  - Background: Five genes - UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, and DUT - are involved in the repair or prevention of uracil misincorporation into DNA, an anomaly that can cause mutagenic events that lead to cancer. Little is known about the determinants of uracil misincorporation, including the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the abovementioned genes. Because of their metabolic function, folate and other one-carbon micronutrients may be important factors in the control of uracil misincorporation. Objectives: We sought to identify polymorphisms in uracil-processing genes that are determinants of DNA uracil concentration and to establish whether one-carbon nutrient status can further modify their effects. Design: We examined the relations between 23 selected variants in the 5 uracil-processing genes, uracil concentrations in whole-blood DNA, and one-carbon nutrient (folate, vitamins B-6 and B-12, and riboflavin) status in 431 participants of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Results: Four SNPs in DUT, UNG, and SMUG1 showed a significant association with DNA uracil concentration. The SNPs in SMUG1 (rs2029166 and rs7296239) and UNG (rs34259) were associated with increased uracil concentrations in the variant genotypes (P=0.011, 0.022, and 0.045, respectively), whereas the DUT SNP (rs4775748) was associated with a decrease (P=0.023). In this population, one-carbon nutrient status was not associated with DNA uracil concentration, and it did not modify the effect of these 4 identified SNPs. Conclusion: Because elevated uracil misincorporation may induce mutagenic lesions, possibly leading to cancer, we propose that the 4 characterized SNPs in DUT, UNG, and SMUG1 may influence cancer risk and therefore deserve further investigation.

N2  - Background: No evidence-based recommendations exist concerning what dietary macronutrient composition optimizes weight loss during lactation while maintaining milk production. Objectives: The study was designed to test the following hypotheses: compared with a reduced-calorie, high-carbohydrate (H-CHO) diet, an isonitrogenous, isocaloric high-fat (H-F) diet will decrease milk production and carbohydrate oxidation, increase gluconeogenesis and hexoneogenesis, and not affect energy balance. Design: Seven healthy lactating mothers and their infants were studied on 2 occasions in random order for 8 d separated by 1-2 wk. On one occasion, the subjects received the H-F (30% of energy as carbohydrate and 55% as fat) diet and on the other occasion received the H-CHO (60% of energy as carbohydrate and 25% as fat) diet. Milk production, infant intakes, and substrate and hormone concentrations were measured. Glucose rates of appearance, production, gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and hexoneogenesis were measured by using stable-isotope gas chromatography-mass spectrometric techniques, and energy expenditure and substrate oxidation were measured by using indirect calorimetry. Results: Milk volume, lactose, and protein concentrations were unaffected. Milk fat, energy, and infant intakes were higher (P&lt;0.05) during the H-F diet. Neither gluconeogenesis nor hexoneogenesis was different. During the H-F diet, energy expenditure and fat and protein oxidation rates were higher (P&lt;0.05), and the daily energy balance deficit was greater (P&lt;0.01). Conclusions: Milk fat, energy output, and energy expenditure were higher during the H-F diet, which resulted in a greater negative energy balance. The lactating mothers adapted to a low carbohydrate intake by decreasing carbohydrate oxidation. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether a hypocaloric H-F diet might promote weight loss to a greater extent than the H-CHO diet while maintaining milk production.

N2  - Background: Selenium, a potential cancer prevention agent currently being tested against prostate cancer in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT), plays an integral role in thyroid metabolism. The effects of long-term selenium supplementation on thyroid hormone concentrations are unknown. Objective: The objective was to investigate the effects of long-term selenium supplementation on thyroid hormone concentrations. Design: Twenty-eight healthy adults took 200 µg selenomethionine/d for 28 mo. The thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyrotropin (TSH) were measured in plasma for 4 mo before supplementation and quarterly during supplementation. The assay methods were changed midstudy; the results of the 2 methods were not comparable. Therefore, one analysis was conducted based on the results of the first method, and a second analysis was based on all of the data, adjusted for the change. Serial data collection permitted a test for trends rather than simply a difference between initial and final values. Results: By 9 mo, mean (±SEM) plasma selenium concentrations had increased from 1.78±0.07 µmol/L at baseline to 2.85±0.11 µmol/L for men and from 1.64±0.04 to 3.32±0.1.2 µmol/L for women. T3 concentrations in men increased 5% per year (P=0.01). T4 and TSH concentrations were unchanged. Conclusions: Selenium supplementation produced no clinically significant changes in thyroid hormone concentrations. A small but statistically significant increase in T3 concentrations was noted in men, with no corresponding decreases in TSH. A subset of SELECT subjects might be monitored periodically for changes during long-term selenium supplementation.

N2  - Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. A preventive role for vitamin K in CAC progression has been proposed on the basis of the properties of matrix Gla protein (MGP) as a vitamin K-dependent calcification inhibitor. Objective: The objective was to determine the effect of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) supplementation on CAC progression in older men and women. Design: CAC was measured at baseline and after 3 y of follow-up in 388 healthy men and postmenopausal women; 200 received a multivitamin with 500 µg phylloquinone/d (treatment), and 188 received a multivitamin alone (control). Results: In an intention-to-treat analysis, there was no difference in CAC progression between the phylloquinone group and the control group; the mean (±SEM) changes in Agatston scores were 27±6 and 37±7, respectively. In a subgroup analysis of participants who were ≥85% adherent to supplementation (n=367), there was less CAC progression in the phylloquinone group than in the control group (P=0.03). Of those with preexisting CAC (Agatston score &gt;10), those who received phylloquinone supplements had 6% less progression than did those who received the multivitamin alone (P=0.04). Phylloquinone-associated decreases in CAC progression were independent of changes in serum MGP. MGP carboxylation status was not determined. Conclusions: Phylloquinone supplementation slows the progression of CAC in healthy older adults with preexisting CAC, independent of its effect on total MGP concentrations. Because our data are hypothesis-generating, further studies are warranted to clarify this mechanism.

N2  - Background: Iron excretion measured by isotope dilution has been a primary basis for the factorial derivation of recommendations for iron intake, but the results have been available for men only. Objective: The objective of this study was to confirm iron excretion measurements in healthy men and extend them to women. Design: The turnover rate of 55Fe that had been administered ≥1 y earlier was determined from blood sampled semiannually for up to 3 y from 53 subjects in the community. Body iron was determined from hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and transferrin receptor. Complete menstrual collections were obtained from 13 women. Results: The total median (range) iron excretion was 1.18 (0.11-2.07) mg/d for 29 men, 1.58 (0.65-4.88) mg/d for 19 menstruating women, and 0.99 (0.86-1.57) for 5 postmenopausal women. When hormonal contraceptive users were omitted, the median for 15 menstruating women increased to 1.66 mg/d. The distribution of iron excretion was normal for the men and postmenopausal women and was highly skewed for the menstruating women; menstrual iron accounted for 90% of the variation. Iron excretion was not strongly related to body weight. Body iron in menstruating women decreased somewhat (by 4.6%) in the men and tended to increase (by 1.5%) during the study. Conclusions: The results extend direct iron excretion measurements in men to include similar measurements in women. The results emphasize the wide range of iron excretion in humans, which results in a 40-fold range of requirements for absorbed iron.

N2  - Background: Genetically engineered "Golden Rice" contains up to 35 µg β-carotene per gram of rice. It is important to determine the vitamin A equivalency of Golden Rice β-carotene to project the potential effect of this biofortified grain in rice-consuming populations that commonly exhibit low vitamin A status. Objective: The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsically labeled dietary Golden Rice in humans. Design: Golden Rice plants were grown hydroponically with heavy water (deuterium oxide) to generate deuterium-labeled [2H]β-carotene in the rice grains. Golden Rice servings of 65-98 g (130-200 g cooked rice) containing 0.99-1.53 mg β-carotene were fed to 5 healthy adult volunteers (3 women and 2 men) with 10 g butter. A reference dose of [13C10]retinyl acetate (0.4-1.0 mg) in oil was given to each volunteer 1 wk before ingestion of the Golden Rice dose. Blood samples were collected over 36 d. Results: Our results showed that the mean (±SD) area under the curve for the total serum response to [2H]retinol was 39.9±20.7 µg.d after the Golden Rice dose. Compared with that of the [13C10]retinyl acetate reference dose (84.7±34.6 µg.d), Golden Rice β-carotene provided 0.24-0.94 mg retinol. Thus, the conversion factor of Golden Rice β-carotene to retinol is 3.8±1.7 to 1 with a range of 1.9-6.4 to 1 by weight, or 2.0±0.9 to 1 with a range of 1.0-3.4 to 1 by moles. Conclusion: β-Carotene derived from Golden Rice is effectively converted to vitamin A in humans.

N2  - Background: A premise of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) is chronic disease prevention. Objective: The goal was to determine whether a diet meeting the DGA is associated with less atherosclerotic lesion progression. Design: We used the data from 224 postmenopausal women with established coronary artery disease enrolled in the Estrogen Replacement and Atherosclerosis Study. Atherosclerosis progression was defined by repeated measures of quantitative angiography over a 3-y period. Adherence to the key DGA recommendations was measured by using the DGA Adherence Index (DGAI; possible range: 0-20), with each component weighted equally, and the modified DGAI score (wDGAI; possible range: -0.19-0.51), with each component weighted based on its relation to atherosclerosis progression. Mixed-model regression analyses were performed to assess the association between diet and atherosclerosis progression. Results: No women consumed a diet meeting all of the DGA recommendations. The mean (range) of the DGAI score was 14.1 (8.0-19.0). DGAI was not associated with atherosclerosis progression (P=0.44), whereas wDGAI was inversely associated; a 1-SD difference in wDGAI was related to 0.049-mm less narrowing of the coronary arteries (SE=0.017, P=0.004). Conclusions: In postmenopausal women with established heart disease, under the assumption that all DGA recommendations are similarly effective, overall adherence was not associated with atherosclerosis progression. However, assigning differential weights to the DGA recommendations, the adherence was significantly associated with slower atherosclerosis progression. Assuming equity of associations between all dietary recommendations and disease outcomes is a limitation in accurately examining the effectiveness of the DGA.

N2  - Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed for detection of pathogenic strains belonging to Escherichia coli serogroups O22 and O91. The O-antigen gene cluster of E. coli O22 was sequenced to identify genes that could be employed as targets for serogroup-specific PCR assays. The wzx and wzy genes in the O-antigen gene clusters of E. coli O22 and E. coli O91 were selected as target genes. The assays were serogroup-specific when tested against 72 E. coli O22 strains and 57 E. coli O91 strains isolated from food, humans, and animals, representative strains belonging to 168 E. coli O serogroups and non-E. coli bacteria. Furthermore, 72 E. coli O22 strains and 57 E. coli O91 strains isolated from food, water, animals, and humans were tested by the PCR for the presence of six and 19 virulence genes, respectively, associated with pathogenic E. coli strains. Based on the PCR screening results, multiplex PCR assays targeting the O22 wzy gene and the cnf-1 and sfa genes in E. coli O22 and the O91 wzy gene, conserved sequences of stx1 and stx2 genes, and the astA and cdt-III genes in E. coli O91 were developed to detect and identify pathogenic strains belonging to serogroups O22 and O91. Furthermore, E. coli O22 and O91 were detected by multiplex PCR assays targeting the wzx or wzy genes and conserved sequences of the stx1 and stx2 genes in ground beef samples inoculated with approximately two colony-forming units (CFU)/25 g after 18-h enrichment. The results demonstrate that the E. coli O22 and O91 wzx and wzy gene sequences were specific for the respective serogroups and can be used as diagnostic markers for rapid identification of these serogroups as an alternative to serotyping. The multiplex PCR assays targeting the O22 and O91 wzx and wzy genes and virulence genes can be used to identify and to detect pathogenic strains of these serogroups in food and fecal samples.

N2  - Previously, we reported that both Se deficiency and Cu deficiency decreased plasma homocysteine (pHcys) and increased plasma glutathione (pGSH) in rats. We also showed that the catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gclc), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glutathione biosynthesis, was upregulated in Se and Cu deficiencies. We suggested that in both deficiencies, Hcys was being shunted through the trans-sulfuration pathway as a result of this up-regulation. Because both Se and Cu deficiencies have similar effects, we hypothesized that a combined deficiency would exacerbate the decrease in pHcys and the increase in pGSH by further up-regulating Gclc. In a 2×2 experiment, male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats (n=8-20/group) were fed an amino-acid-based diet containing either 0 or 0.2 µg Se (as selenite)/g and &lt;1 or 6 µg Cu (as Cu carbonate)/g for 5 weeks. Our findings show that a combined deficiency of both Se and Cu results in lower pHcys and significantly elevated pGSH. However, the up-regulation of liver Gclc alone cannot explain why rats fed with the doubly deficient diet have the lowest pHcys and the highest pGSH.

N2  - The World Health Organization estimates that in 2005, 1.5 million people died, worldwide, from diarrheal diseases. A separate study estimated that 70% of diarrheal diseases are foodborne. The widely cited US estimate is that there are 76 million foodborne illnesses annually, resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5200 deaths. However, there are epidemiologic and methodologic challenges to accurately estimate the economic burden of foodborne disease on society, either in terms of monetary costs or non-monetary units of measurement. Studies on the economic burden of foodborne disease vary considerably: some analyze the effects of a single pathogen or a single outbreak, whereas others attempt to estimate all foodborne disease in a country. Differences in surveillance systems, methodology, and other factors preclude meaningful comparisons across existing studies. However, if it were possible to completely estimate the societal costs for all acute foodborne diseases and their chronic sequelae worldwide, on the basis of currently available data, worldwide costs from these illnesses would be substantial. Moreover, foodborne infections are largely manifested as intestinal illnesses and are largely preventable. Total costs of foodborne disease would be much smaller in the United States and the world if economic incentives for industry to produce safer food were improved. However, costs of implementing new food safety prevention and control rules must be weighed against the estimated benefits of reducing foodborne disease to determine net benefits so that governments have information to efficiently allocate funds among competing programs.

N2  - This study was conducted to compare thermal inactivation kinetics obtained using a pilot-scale pasteurizer and a bench-scale processing system. Pilot-scale pasteurizers are useful for product development, but comparisons on thermal inactivation kinetics with smaller scale systems are lacking. Using an Armfield pilot-scale pasteurizer and aluminum thermal-death-time (TDT) disks, the D-values and z-values of Escherichia coli K12 in apple cider were determined in the temperature range of 54-62°C. Come-up times to 58°C were also measured and were 35 and 61 s for the TDT disks and pasteurizer, respectively. The D-values from the TDT disks were 9.66, 4.01, 1.44 and 0.44 min at temperatures of 54, 56, 58, and 60°C, respectively. The D-values from the pasteurizer were 3.48, 1.22, 0.10 and 0.05 min at temperatures of 56, 58, 60, and 62°C, respectively. The z-values from the TDT disks and the pasteurizer were 4.68 and 3.60°C, respectively. There was no significant (P&gt;0.05) difference in the D-values of the TDT disks and pasteurizer at 56 and 58°C, while there was a significant (P&lt;0.05) difference in the D-value at 60°C and in the z-value. This study revealed that the thermal inactivation kinetics obtained using bench scale TDT disks and an Armfield pilot-scale pasteurizer under certain conditions are similar. However, based on ease of use and other factors, TDT disks are preferable for acquiring thermal inactivation kinetics.

N2  - Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are a leading cause of food poisoning and have two separate biological activities; it causes gastroenteritis and functions as a superantigen that activates large numbers of T cells. In vivo monkey or kitten bioassays were developed for analysis of SEs emetic activity. To overcome the inherent limitations of such bioassays, this study describes an in vitro splenocyte proliferation assay based on SEs superantigen activity as an alternative method for measuring the activity of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). After incubation of splenocytes with SEA, cell proliferation was measured by labeling the proliferating cells' DNA with bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU) and quantifying the incorporated BrdU by immunohistochemistry. BrdU labeling is shown to be highly correlated with SEA concentration (R2=0.99) and can detect 20 pg mL-1 of SEA, which is far more sensitive than most enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Our assay can also distinguish between active toxin and inactive forms of the toxin in milk. By applying immunomagnetic beads that capture and concentrate the toxin, our assay was able to overcome matrix interference. These results suggest that our in vitro cell-based assay is an advantageous practical alternative to the in vivo monkey or kitten bioassays for measuring SEA and possibly other SEs activity in food.

N2  - Two experiments were conducted with weanling Sprague-Dawley rats to determine whether changes in S-adenosylmethionine utilization or metabolism contribute to the diverse responses to boron deprivation. In both experiments, four treatment groups of 15 male rats were fed ground corn-casein based diets that contained an average of 0.05 mg (experiment 1) or 0.15 mg (experiment 2) boron/kg. In experiment 2, some ground corn was replaced by sucrose and fructose to increase oxidative stress. The dietary variables were supplemental 0 (boron-deprived) or 3 (boron-adequate) mg boron/kg and different fat sources (can affect the response to boron) of 75 g corn oil/kg or 65 g fish (menhaden) oil/kg plus 10 linoleic acid/kg. When euthanized at age 20 (experiment 1) and 18 (experiment 2) weeks, rats fed the low-boron diet were considered boron-deprived because they had decreased boron concentrations in femur and kidney. Boron deprivation regardless of dietary oil increased plasma cysteine and homocysteine and decreased liver S-adenosylmethionine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, and spermidine. Plasma concentration of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (indicator of oxidative stress) was not affected by boron, but was decreased by feeding fish oil instead of corn oil. Fish oil instead of corn oil decreased S-adenosylmethionine, increased spermidine, and did not affect S-adenosylhomocysteine concentrations in liver. Additionally, fish oil versus corn oil did not affect plasma homocysteine in experiment 1, and slightly increased it in experiment 2. The findings suggest that boron is bioactive through affecting the formation or utilization of S-adenosylmethionine. Dietary fatty acid composition also affects S-adenosylmethionine formation or utilization, but apparently through a mechanism different from that of boron.

N2  - An experiment was performed to determine whether boron deprivation would adversely affect vertebra (trabecular) bone microarchitecture, and whether any adverse effect would be modified by dietary fatty acid composition. Female rats were fed diets containing 0.1 mg (9 µmol) boron/kg in a factorial arrangement with variables of supplemental boron at 0 (boron-deprived) or 3 (boron-adequate) mg (278 µmol)/kg and fat sources of 75 g safflower oil/kg or 65 g fish (menhaden) oil/kg plus 10 g linoleic acid/kg. After 6 weeks, six females per treatment were bred. Dams and pups continued on their respective diets through gestation, lactation, and after weaning. At age 21 weeks, the microarchitecture of the fourth lumbar vertebrae from 12 randomly selected pups from each treatment was determined by microcomputed tomography. Boron deprivation decreased bone volume fraction and increased trabecular separation and structural model index. Boron deprivation decreased trabecular thickness when the dietary oil was safflower. A three-point bending test for bone strength found that boron deprivation decreased the maximum force needed to break the femur. Feeding fish oil instead of safflower oil decreased connectivity density in vertebrae of boron-deficient but not in boron-adequate rats. Fish oil instead of safflower oil increased the maximum force to break and the bending moment of the femur, especially in rats fed adequate boron. The findings confirm that boron and fish oil are beneficial to cortical bone strength, and show that nutritional intakes of boron are beneficial for trabecular bone microarchitecture and influence the beneficial effects of fish oil on bone.

N2  - Background: The effect of meat protein on calcium retention at different calcium intakes is unresolved. Objective: The objective was to test the effect of dietary protein on calcium retention at low and high intakes of calcium. Design: In a randomized controlled feeding study with a 2×2 factorial crossover design, healthy postmenopausal women (n=27) consumed either ~675 or ~1510 mg Ca/d, with both low and high protein (providing 10% and 20% energy) for 7 wk each, separated by a 3-wk washout period. After 3 wk, the entire diet was extrinsically labeled with 47Ca, and isotope retention was monitored by whole-body scintillation counting. Clinical markers of calcium and bone metabolism were measured. Results: High compared with low dietary protein significantly increased calcium retention from the low-calcium (29.5% compared with 26.0% absorbed) but not the high-calcium diet (18% absorbed). For the low-calcium diet, this effect nearly balanced a protein-related 0.5-mmol/d greater urinary calcium excretion. Protein-related calciuretic effects were independent of dietary calcium. Testing at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 wk showed no long-term adaptation in urinary acidity or urinary calcium excretion. High compared with low dietary protein decreased urinary deoxypyridinoline and increased serum insulin-like growth factor I without affecting parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, or tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. Conclusions: In healthy postmenopausal women, a moderate increase in dietary protein, from 10% to 20% of energy, slightly improved calcium absorption from a low-calcium diet, nearly compensating for a slight increase in urinary calcium excretion. Under practical dietary conditions, increased dietary protein from animal sources was not detrimental to calcium balance or short-term indicators of bone health.

N2  - Aging results in the development of cognitive and motor deficits in humans and animals that are evident by midlife. These deficits are thought to stem from neuronal damage and dysfunction as a result of a variety of stressors, including increased oxidative stress and modifications in brain lipid composition. Recent clinical and animal studies have identified nutritional intervention as a viable method to curtail the cognitive aging process. Human studies have been primarily observational and have indicated that inclusion of antioxidant-rich foods in the diet can slow the progression of cognitive decline. Basic science studies investigating nutritional modulation of age-related cognitive decline have focused on foods rich in antioxidants or essential fatty acids. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent advancements in animal research showing that age-related cognitive and behavioral decline can be ameliorated with nutritional supplementation with polyphenol- or polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich plant foods.

N2  - Background: Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is characterized by absence or deficiency of the mucosal sucrase-isomaltase enzyme. Specific diagnosis requires upper gastrointestinal biopsy with evidence of low to absent sucrase enzyme activity and normal histology. The hydrogen breath test (BT) is useful, but is not specific for confirmation of CSID. We investigated a more specific 13C-sucrose labeled BT. Objectives: Determine whether CSID can be detected with the 13C-sucrose BT without duodenal biopsy sucrase assay, and if the 13C-sucrose BT can document restoration of sucrose digestion by CSID patients after oral supplementation with sacrosidase (Sucraid). Methods: Ten CSID patients were diagnosed by low biopsy sucrase activity. Ten controls were children who underwent endoscopy and biopsy because of dyspepsia or chronic diarrhea with normal mucosal enzymes activity and histology. Uniformly labeled 13C-glucose and 13C-sucrose loads were orally administered. 13CO2 breath enrichments were assayed using an infrared spectrophotometer. In CSID patients, the 13C-sucrose load was repeated adding Sucraid. Sucrose digestion and oxidation were calculated as a mean percent coefficient of glucose oxidation averaged between 30 and 90 minutes. Results: Classification of patients by 13C-sucrose BT percent coefficient of glucose oxidation agreed with biopsy sucrase activity. The breath test also documented the return to normal of sucrose digestion and oxidation after supplementation of CSID patients with Sucraid. Conclusions: 13C-sucrose BT is an accurate and specific noninvasive confirmatory test for CSID and for enzyme replacement management.

N2  - Insect kinin neuropeptides share a common C-terminal pentapeptide sequence Phe1-Xaa12-Xaa23-Trp4-Gly5-NH2 (Xaa12=His, Asn, Phe, Ser or Tyr; Xaa23=Pro, Ser or Ala) and have been isolated from a number of insects. They have been associated with the regulation of such diverse processes as hindgut contraction, diuresis, and the release of digestive enzymes. In this review, the chemical, conformational, and stereochemical aspects of the activity of the insect kinins with expressed receptors and/or biological assays are reviewed. With this information, both nonselective and selective biostable analogues have been designed that protect peptidase-susceptible sites in the insect kinin sequence and demonstrate significant retention of activity in both receptor and biological assays. C-terminal aldehyde insect kinin analogues modify the activity of the insect kinins, leading to inhibition of weight gain and mortality in corn earworm larvae and selective inhibition of diuresis in the housefly. Promising mimetic analogue leads in the development of selective agents capable of disrupting insect kinin-regulated processes have been identified that may provide interesting tools for arthropod endocrinologists and new pest insect management strategies in the future.

N2  - Nationally representative survey data provide insight into how the voting public thinks the word hunger should be used in government reports. The median perception of the least severe condition appropriately described as hunger is that people "... sometimes could not afford to eat enough. They did not feel weak or dizzy, but they did have stomach pains." However, there was not a narrow consensus on the appropriate use of the term hunger, and respondents' viewpoints on this issue were only weakly related to demographic characteristics, income, political preferences, and the extent to which hunger was considered a salient issue. If hunger is measured in a survey or the word hunger is used to describe other measured conditions, such as food insecurity, it is important to communicate clearly the intended meaning of the word.

N2  - Background: Moderate intake of alcohol has been reported to have beneficial effects on bone. However, different classes of alcoholic beverages have not been investigated. Objective: Our aim was to determine the association between intake of total alcohol or individual alcoholic beverages and bone mineral density (BMD). Design: Adjusting for potential confounding factors, we examined alcohol intakes and BMD at 3 hip sites and the lumbar spine in 1182 men and in 1289 postmenopausal and 248 premenopausal women in the population-based Framingham Offspring cohort (age: 29-86 y). Results: Men were predominantly beer drinkers, and women were predominantly wine drinkers. Compared with nondrinkers, hip BMD was greater (3.4-4.5%) in men consuming 1-2 drinks/d of total alcohol or beer, whereas hip and spine BMD were significantly greater (5.0-8.3%) in postmenopausal women consuming &gt;2 drinks/d of total alcohol or wine. Intake of &gt;2 drinks/d of liquor in men was associated with significantly lower (3.0-5.2%) hip and spine BMD than was intake of 1-2 drinks/d of liquor in men. After adjustment for silicon intake, all intergroup differences for beer were no longer significant; differences for other alcohol sources remained significant. Power was low for premenopausal women, and the associations were not significant. Conclusions: Moderate consumption of alcohol may be beneficial to bone in men and postmenopausal women. However, in men, high liquor intakes (&gt;2 drinks/d) were associated with significantly lower BMD. The tendency toward stronger associations between BMD and beer or wine, relative to liquor, suggests that constituents other than ethanol may contribute to bone health. Silicon appears to mediate the association of beer, but not that of wine or liquor, with BMD. Other components need further investigation.

N2  - Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown that the consumption of soy foods may be associated with a reduction in cancer risk in humans. Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on the association between soy consumption and prostate cancer risk in men. Design: We systematically reviewed studies obtained through a thorough Medline literature search and identified 15 epidemiologic publications on soy consumption and 9 on isoflavones in association with prostate cancer risk. We extracted the most adjusted relative risks (RRs) and odds ratios (ORs) of the highest and the lowest reported categories of intake from each study and conducted this analysis using a random-effects model in which studies with smaller SEEs are given greater weight in the summary measure. Results: Our analysis of studies on soy intake yielded a combined RR/OR of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.89; P=0.01). When separately analyzed, studies on nonfermented soy foods yielded a combined RR/OR of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.56, 0.88; P=0.01) and those on fermented soy foods yielded a combined RR/OR of 1.02 (95% CI: 0.73, 1.42; P=0.92). The analysis of studies on isoflavones yielded a combined RR/OR of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.76, 1.02; P=0.09). Further separate analyses showed a combined RR/OR of 0.52 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.81; P=0.01) from studies with Asian populations and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.85, 1.16; P=0.91) from studies with Western populations. Conclusions: The results of this analysis suggest that consumption of soy foods is associated with a reduction in prostate cancer risk in men. This protection may be associated with the type and quantity of soy foods consumed.

N2  - This study evaluated the effectiveness of a supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) system, with a gas-liquid porous metal contactor, for reducing Escherichia coli K12 in diluted buffered peptone water. 0.1% (w/v) buffered peptone water inoculated with E. coli K12 was processed using the SCCO2 system at CO2 concentrations of 3.1-9.5 wt%, outlet temperatures of 34, 38, and 42°C, a system pressure of 7.6 MPa, and a flow rate of 1 L/min. Increased CO2 concentrations and temperatures significantly (P&lt;0.05) enhanced microbial reduction. A maximum reduction of 5.8-log was obtained at 8.2% CO2 and 42°C. To achieve a 5-log reduction of E. coli K12 in 0.1% buffered peptone water, minimum CO2 concentrations of 9.5%, 5.5%, and 5.3% were needed at 34, 38, and 42°C, respectively. Further reductions of cells were observed after storage for 7 days at 4°C. But storage at 25°C increased the number of viable cells to 8-log cfu/mL after 7 days. This study showed the potential of the pilot scale SCCO2 system with a gas-liquid porous metal contactor for microbial inactivation in liquid food.

N2  - While soil application of a competitive non-toxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains is successful in reducing aflatoxin contamination in certain crops, direct application to aerial reproductive structures could be more effective for maize. A sprayable, clay-based water-dispersible granule formulation was developed to deliver non-toxigenic A. flavus strain K49 directly to maize ears. The efficacy of the K49 water-dispersible granule in mitigating aflatoxin in maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated. Field studies were conducted to compare K49 colonization and effectiveness in reducing aflatoxin contamination when applied either as a soil inoculant or as a directed spray in plots infested with toxigenic strain F3W4. Fifty percent of non-toxigenic A. flavus was recovered from non-treated controls and from plots soil inoculated with K49 on wheat. In spray treatments with formulated or unformulated K49 conidia, over 90% of A. flavus recovered was non-toxigenic. Soil-applied K49 reduced aflatoxin contamination by 65% and spray applications reduced contamination by 97%. These findings suggest direct spray application of non-toxigenic A. flavus strains may be better than soil inoculation at controlling maize aflatoxin contamination and that a water-dispersible granule is a viable delivery system for maintaining viability and efficacy of the biological control agent, K49.

N2  - Background: Although calcium inhibits zinc bioavailability in rats, especially from high-phytate diets, the effect of calcium on zinc absorption by humans from practical diets remains unclear. Objective: The objective was to test the inhibitory effect of dietary calcium, in Western diets with high and low phytate content, on zinc absorption. Design: Using a 2×2 factorial design, zinc absorption was determined in 10 healthy women from 1-d diets with moderate and high calcium contents of ~700 and 1800 mg/d and low and high phytate contents of ~440 and 1800 mg/d. Absorption was measured by using extrinsically added 65Zn and subsequent whole-body scintillation counting. Results: Mean (±SE) fractional zinc absorption was 32.8±2.3% from the moderate-calcium, low-phytate diet; 26.9±2.4% from the moderate-calcium, high-phytate diet; 39.4±2.4% from the high-calcium, low-phytate diet; and 26.2±2.3% from the high-calcium, high-phytate diet. The respective values for absolute zinc absorption were 3.8±0.3, 3.0±0.3, 4.5±0.3, and 3.2±0.3 mg/d. Phytate significantly reduced fractional zinc absorption by 10 percentage points and reduced absolute zinc absorption by 25%, or ~1 mg/d. Differences in dietary calcium did not affect zinc absorption, regardless of a high or low dietary phytate content. Conclusions: In healthy women consuming 1-d menus of ordinary foods (some fortified with calcium), dietary phytate reduces zinc absorption, but calcium does not impair zinc absorption, regardless of whether dietary phytate is low or high.

N2  - Nutrient reference values have significant public health and policy implications. Given the importance of defining reliable nutrient reference values, there is a need for an explicit, objective, and transparent process to set these values. The Tufts Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center assembled a group of nutrition experts from academic institutions and federal government agencies, led participants in discussions, conducted exercises in formulating questions and evidence review criteria that would be amenable to systematic reviews of the scientific literature, performed a literature search on the questions to identify potentially relevant publications, and identified challenges and limitations of applying this method to support the development of nutrient reference values using vitamin A as an example. The workgroup concluded that the systematic review approach could be productively used to inform the development of reference values. Challenges identified in this exercise include prioritizing and defining research questions when the volume of literature is large, relying on intermediate (surrogate) outcomes when few or no studies directly linking nutrient intake with clinical outcomes are available, and determining reliable nutrient biomarkers. Ultimately, an objective, unbiased systematic review of a defined question could be useful, not only in helping to set nutrient reference values, but also for increasing the transparency of the decision making process.

N2  - The objectives of this study were to examine and model the probability of growth of Listeria monocytogenes in cooked salmon containing salt and smoke (phenol) compound and stored at various temperatures. A growth probability model was developed, and the model was compared to a model developed from tryptic soy broth (TSB) to assess the possibility of using TSB as a substitute for salmon. A 6-strain mixture of L. monocytogenes was inoculated into minced cooked salmon and TSB containing 0-10% NaCl and 0-34 ppm phenol to levels of 102-3 cfu/g, and the samples were vacuum-packed and stored at 0-25°C for up to 42 days. A total 32 treatments, each with 16 samples, selected by central composite designs were tested. A logistic regression was used to model the probability of growth of L. monocytogenes as a function of concentrations of salt and phenol, and storage temperature. Resulted models showed that the probabilities of growth of L. monocytogenes in both salmon and TSB decreased when the salt and/or phenol concentrations increased, and at lower storage temperatures. In general, the growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes were affected more profoundly by salt and storage temperature than by phenol. The growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes estimated by the TSB model were higher than those by the salmon model at the same salt/phenol concentrations and storage temperatures. The growth probabilities predicted by the salmon and TSB models were comparable at higher storage temperatures, indicating the potential use of TSB as a model system to substitute salmon in studying the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes may only be suitable when the temperatures of interest are in higher storage temperatures (e.g., &gt;12°C). The model for salmon demonstrated the effects of salt, phenol, and storage temperature and their interactions on the growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes, and may be used to determine the growth probability of L. monocytogenes in smoked seafood.

N2  - Mesquite (Prosopis spp.) are woody leguminous plants that belong to the family Leguminosae and grow in arid and semiarid regions of America, Africa and Asia. Prosopis spp. produce indehiscent fruit (pods) that can be milled to yield flour that is sold commercially and is used in pastries and baked goods. The major volatile constituent of mesquite flour was identified as 5,6-dihydro-6-propyl-2H-pyran-2-one on the basis of its Kovats index and mass spectrum. Using δ-nonalactone as an internal standard its concentration was determined to be 59.75±7.07 mg/kg (n=3).

N2  - Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an indole-tetramic acid mycotoxin, is produced by many species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. In addition to CPA Aspergillus flavus produces polyketide-derived carcinogenic aflatoxins. Aflatoxin biosynthesis genes form a gene cluster in a subtelomeric region. Isolates of A. flavus lacking aflatoxin production due to the loss of the entire aflatoxin gene cluster and portions of the subtelomeric region are often unable to produce CPA, which suggests a physical link of genes involved in CPA biosynthesis to the aflatoxin gene cluster. Examining the subtelomeric region in A. flavus isolates of different chemotypes revealed a region possibly associated with CPA production. Disruption of three of the four genes present in this region predicted to encode a monoamine oxidase, a dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase, and a hybrid polyketide non-ribosomal peptide synthase abolished CPA production in an aflatoxigenic A. flavus strain. Therefore, some of the CPA biosynthesis genes are organized in a mini-gene cluster that is next to the aflatoxin gene cluster in A. flavus.

N2  - Previous reports on pernicious anemia treatment suggested that high folic acid intake adversely influences the natural history of vitamin B-12 deficiency, which affects many elderly individuals. However, experimental investigation of this hypothesis is unethical, and the few existing observational data are inconclusive. With the use of data from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we evaluated the interaction between high serum folate and low vitamin B-12 status [ie, plasma vitamin B-12 &lt;148 pmol/L or methylmalonic acid (MMA) &gt;210 nmol/L] with respect to anemia and cognitive impairment. With subjects having both plasma folate ≤59 nmol/L and normal vitamin B-12 status as the referent category, odds ratios for the prevalence of anemia compared with normal hemoglobin concentration and impaired compared with unimpaired cognitive function were 2.1 (95% CI: 1.1, 3.7) and 1.7 (95% CI: 1.01, 2.9), respectively, for those with low vitamin B-12 status but normal serum folate and 4.9 (95% CI: 2.3, 10.6) and 5.0 (95% CI: 2.7, 9.5), respectively, for those with low vitamin B-12 status and plasma folate &gt;59 nmol/L. Among subjects with low vitamin B-12 status, mean circulating vitamin B-12 was 228 pmol/L for the normal-folate subgroup and 354 pmol/L for the high-folate subgroup. We subsequently showed increases in circulating homocysteine and MMA concentrations with increasing serum folate among NHANES participants with serum vitamin B-12 &lt;148 pmol/L, whereas the opposite trends occurred among subjects with serum vitamin B-12 ≥148 pmol/L. These interactions, which were not seen in NHANES III before fortification, imply that, in vitamin B-12 deficiency, high folate status is associated with impaired activity of the 2 vitamin B-12-dependent enzymes, methionine synthase and MMA-coenzyme A mutase.

N2  - In considering the vitamin B-12 fortification of flour, it is important to know who is at risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency and whether those individuals would benefit from flour fortification. This article reviews current knowledge of the prevalence and causes of vitamin B-12 deficiency and considers whether fortification would improve the status of deficient subgroups of the population. In large surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom, ~6% of those aged ≥60 y are vitamin B-12 deficient (plasma vitamin B-12 &lt;148 pmol/L), with the prevalence of deficiency increasing with age. Closer to 20% have marginal status (plasma vitamin B-12: 148-221 pmol/L) in later life. In developing countries, deficiency is much more common, starting in early life and persisting across the life span. Inadequate intake, due to low consumption of animal-source foods, is the main cause of low serum vitamin B-12 in younger adults and likely the main cause in poor populations worldwide; in most studies, serum vitamin B-12 concentration is correlated with intake of this vitamin. In older persons, food-bound cobalamin malabsorption becomes the predominant cause of deficiency, at least in part due to gastric atrophy, but it is likely that most elderly can absorb the vitamin from fortified food. Fortification of flour with vitamin B-12 is likely to improve the status of most persons with low stores of this vitamin. However, intervention studies are still needed to assess efficacy and functional benefits of increasing intake of the amounts likely to be consumed in flour, including in elderly persons with varying degrees of gastric atrophy.

N2  - Background: In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that carotenoids may inhibit bone resorption and stimulate proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Few studies have examined the association between carotenoid intake (other than β-carotene) and bone mineral density (BMD). Objective: We evaluated associations between total and individual carotenoid intake (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein+zeaxanthin) with BMD at the hip, spine, and radial shaft and the 4-y change in BMD. Design: Both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted in 334 men and 540 women (mean±SD age: 75±5 y) in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. Energy-adjusted carotenoid intakes were estimated from the Willett food-frequency questionnaire. Mean BMD and mean 4-y BMD changes were estimated, for men and women separately, by quartile of carotenoid intake with adjustment for age, BMI, height, physical activity index, smoking (never compared with ever smokers), multivitamin use, season of BMD measurement (for cross-sectional analyses on BMD only), estrogen use (in women), and intakes of total energy, calcium, vitamin D, caffeine, and alcohol. Results: Few cross-sectional associations were observed with carotenoid intake. Associations between lycopene intake and 4-y change in lumbar spine BMD were significant for women (P for trend=0.03), as were intakes of total carotenoids, β-carotene, lycopene and lutein+zeaxanthin with 4-y change in trochanter BMD in men (P for trend=0.0005, 0.02, 0.009, and 0.008, respectively). Conclusions: Carotenoids showed protective associations against 4-y loss in trochanter BMD in men and in lumbar spine in women. No significant associations were observed at other bone sites. Although not consistent across all BMD sites examined, these results support a protective role of carotenoids for BMD in older men and women.

N2  - Background: Hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Variation in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) genes has been associated with fasting plasma triacylglycerol. Objective: We investigated the combined effects of the GCKR rs780094C -&gt; T, APOA5 -1131T -&gt; C, and APOA5 56C -&gt; G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on fasting triacylglycerol in several independent populations and the response to a high-fat meal and fenofibrate interventions. Design: We used a cross-sectional design to investigate the association with fasting triacylglycerol in 8 populations from America, Asia, and Europe (n=7730 men and women) and 2 intervention studies in US whites (n=1061) to examine postprandial triacylglycerol after a high-fat meal and the response to fenofibrate. We defined 3 combined genotype groups: (1) protective (homozygous for the wild-type allele for all 3 SNPs); (2) intermediate (any mixed genotype not included in groups 1 and 3); and (3) risk (carriers of the variant alleles at both genes). Results: Subjects within the risk group had significantly higher fasting triacylglycerol and a higher prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia than did subjects in the protective group across all populations. Moreover, subjects in the risk group had a greater postprandial triacylglycerol response to a high-fat meal and greater fenofibrate-induced reduction of fasting triacylglycerol than did the other groups, especially among persons with hypertriglyceridemia. Subjects with the intermediate genotype had intermediate values (P for trend &lt;0.001). Conclusions: SNPs in GCKR and APOA5 have an additive effect on both fasting and postprandial triacylglycerol and contribute to the interindividual variability in response to fenofibrate treatment.

N2  - Objective: To determine whether fast-food consumption is associated with adolescents' food group intakes and likelihood of meeting recommendations outlined in the MyPyramid Food Guidance System. Design: Data from two 24-hour recalls collected in What We Eat in America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2004 were analyzed. Fast-food consumers were divided into tertiles based on the proportion of 2-day energy intake derived from fast food. Subjects: Adolescent boys and nonpregnant girls aged 12 to 19 years (n=1,956). Statistical analyses performed: All statistical analyses included sample weights to account for the survey design. Regression analyses were used to detect associations between fast-food consumption and both food group intakes and percentages of individuals meeting MyPyramid recommendations, and to predict odds of meeting recommendations by fast-food consumption level. Results: Fast-food consumption was associated negatively with MyPyramid fruit and milk group intakes (boys and girls) and positively with discretionary energy and solid fats (girls only). Negative associations were also found between fast-food consumption and percentages of adolescents meeting recommendations for milk (boys), fruits (girls), and vegetables and discretionary energy (boys and girls). Compared with those consuming no fast food, adolescents in the highest tertile of energy from fast food were less likely to meet recommendations for vegetables (odds ratio [OR]=0.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05 to 0.52 for boys; OR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.79 for girls) and discretionary energy (OR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.77 for boys; OR=0.04, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.24 for girls). No relationships were found between fast-food consumption and grains, meat/beans, and oils. Conclusions: Adolescents' intakes, whether containing fast food or not, need improvement. Fast food is one factor that impacts adolescents' intake of MyPyramid groups and their likelihood of meeting recommendations. Awareness of fast-food's role in discrepancies between adolescent intakes and MyPyramid recommendations can aid professionals in designing effective strategies to improve adolescents' diets.

N2  - Scenario-based analyses were computed for benefits and costs linked with hypothetical oral rabies vaccination (ORV) campaigns to contain or eliminate skunk-variant rabies in skunks (Mephitis mephitis) in California, USA. Scenario 1 assumed baiting eight zones (43,388 km2 total) that comprised 73% of known skunk rabies locations in the state. Scenario 2 also assumed baiting these eight zones, but further assumed that added benefits would result from preventing the spread of skunk-variant rabies into Los Angeles County, USA. Scenarios assumed a fixed bait cost ($1.24 each) but varied campaigns (one, two and three annual ORV applications), densities of baits (37.5/km2, 75/km2 and 150/km2), levels of prevention (50%, 75%, and 100%), and contingency expenditures if rabies recurred (20%, 40%, and 60% of campaign costs). Prorating potential annual benefits during a 12-yr time horizon yielded benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) between 0.16 and 2.91 and between 0.34 and 6.35 for Scenarios 1 and 2, respectively. Economic issues relevant to potentially managing skunk-variant rabies with ORV are discussed.

N2  - Pulsed electric field (PEF) exposes a fluid or semi-fluid product to short pulses of high-energy electricity, which can inactivate microorganisms. The efficacy of PEF treatment for pasteurisation of liquid eggs may be a function of processing temperature. In this study, effects of PEF, temperature, pH and PEF with mild heat (PEF+heat) on the inactivation of Salmonella typhimurium DT104 cells in liquid whole egg (LWE) were investigated. Cells of S. typhimurium were inoculated into LWE pH adjusted to 6.6, 7.2 or 8.2 at 15, 25, 30 and 40°C. The PEF field strength, pulse duration and total treatment time were 25 kV cm-1, 2.1 µs and 250 µs respectively. Cells of S. typhimurium in LWE at pH 7.2 were reduced by 2.1 logs at 40°C and 1.8 logs at 30°C. The PEF inactivation of S. typhimurium cells at 15 or 25°C was pH dependent. Heat treatment at 55°C for 3.5 min or PEF treatment at 20°C resulted in c. 1-log reduction of S. typhimurium cells. Combination of PEF+55°C achieved 3-log reduction of S. typhimurium cells and was comparable to the inactivation by the heat treatment at 60°C for 3.5 min. With further development, PEF+heat treatment may have an advantage over high-temperature treatment for pasteurisation of liquid eggs.

N2  - An extruded composite food packaging film containing pectin, polylactic acids (PLAs) and nisin was developed to inhibit Listeria monocytogenes. The mechanical properties and surface structure of the film were also examined. Cells of L. monocytogenes were reduced by 2.1, 4.5 and 3.7 log units mL-1 by the pectin plus PLA (pectin/PLA) film containing nisin (1000 IU mL-1 of tested liquid) in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth, liquid egg white and orange juice, respectively, after 48 h at 24°C. Pectin played an important roll in embedding nisin into the film. The pectin/PLA film had a similar stiffness but lower tensile strength, elongation and fracture energy than the pure PLA film. These data suggested that nisin incorporated into the pectin/PLA film was an effective approach to reducing L. monocytogenes in a typical growth medium (e.g. BHI broth) as well as in foods (e.g. orange juice and liquid egg).

N2  - The objective of this research was to compare the suitability of three kinetic models for describing the survival of a cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes in ground beef under both isothermal and dynamic temperature conditions. Ground beef (93% lean), inoculated with a 4-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes, was subjected to heating at 57, 60, 63, or 66°C to develop isothermal kinetic models. Experimental data showed that the isothermal survival curves were not strictly linear and were downwardly concaved. The isothermal inactivation of L. monocytogenes in ground beef was better described by two nonlinear kinetic models, the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models. Analytical results showed that root mean square error values (RMSE) of the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models were 0.19 and 0.20 log(CFU/g), both significantly smaller than that of the linear model (0.48 log(CFU/g)). Under linear heating dynamic conditions, however, only the modified Gompertz model, with a RMSE of only 0.71 log(CFU/g), was suitable for describing the survival of the pathogen. Both linear and Weibull-type models grossly underestimated the survival of L. monocytogenes in ground beef during dynamic heating.

AB  - Abstract: The many advantageous properties of biochar have led to the recent interest in the use of this carbonaceous material as a soil amendment. However, there are limited studies dealing with the effect of biochar on the behavior of pesticides applied to crops. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of various biochars on the sorption–desorption of the herbicides aminocyclopyrachlor (6-amino-5-chloro-2-cyclopropyl-4-pyrimidinacarboxylic acid) and bentazone (3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide) and the fungicide pyraclostrobin (methyl 2-[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yloxymethil]-N-methoxycarbanilate) to a silt loam soil. Aminocyclopyrachlor and bentazone were almost completely sorbed by the soils amended with the biochars produced from wood pellets. However, lower sorption of the herbicides was observed in the soils amended with the biochar made from macadamia nut shells as compared to the unamended soil, which was attributed to the competition between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the biochar and the herbicides for sorption sites. Our results showed that pyraclostrobin is highly sorbed to soil, and the addition of biochars to soil did not further increase its sorption. Thus, addition of biochars to increase the retention of low mobility pesticides in soil appears to not be necessary. On the other hand, biochars with high surface areas and low DOC contents can increase the sorption of highly mobile pesticides in soil. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Common sources of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 infection have been identified by investigating outbreaks and by case-control studies of sporadic infections. We conducted an analysis to attribute STEC O157 infections ascertained in 1996 and 1999 by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) to sources. Multivariable models from two case-control studies conducted in FoodNet and outbreak investigations that occurred during the study years were used to calculate the annual number of infections attributable to six sources. Using the results of the outbreak investigations alone, 27% and 15% of infections were attributed to a source in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Combining information from both data sources, 65% of infections in 1996 and 34% of infections in 1999 were attributed. The results suggest that methods to incorporate data from multiple surveillance systems and over several years are needed to improve estimation of the number of illnesses attributable to exposure sources.

AB  - Long-held dogma dictates that first instars of Nezara viridula (L.) do not feed, yet recent observations of stylet activity within a food source suggest otherwise. As a cosmopolitan pest of cotton and other high-value cash crops, confirmation of feeding by first instars may ultimately influence the knowledge on biology and management strategies for this pest. To determine whether first instars feed, newly hatched nymphs were provided sterile green beans (control) or beans infected with a rifampicin-resistant marked bacterial pathogen (Pantoea agglomerans (Ewing and Fife)) of cotton. Insects were exposed to beans for 2 d, and feeding was confirmed based on detection of marked bacteria ingested by the insect. Normal bacterial flora was detected in all insects; however, control insects did not possess the marked bacteria. Of the first instars surviving on infected beans, ≈65% possessed the marked bacteria internally. Furthermore, the frequency of insects with marked bacteria was higher in insects collected directly from the bean surface than those that were off the bean at time of collection. Densities of innate and marked bacteria were comparable (both ranging from 101 to 103), suggesting that the marked bacteria did not exclude preexisting bacterial flora. Marked bacteria were also detected in a subset of second instars, indicating marked bacteria were retained through the molting process after ingesting bacteria as first instars. Our findings conclusively demonstrate feeding by first instars and redefine the long-held perspective of nonfeeding by first instars. These findings may necessitate changes to crop protection strategies against feeding and vectoring of plant pathogens by N. viridula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Regional evapotranspiration (ET) can be estimated using diagnostic remote sensing models, generally based on principles of energy balance closure, or with spatially distributed prognostic models that simultaneously balance both energy and water budgets over landscapes using predictive equations for land surface temperature and moisture states. Each modeling approach has complementary advantages and disadvantages, and in combination they can be used to obtain more accurate ET estimates over a variety of land and climate conditions, particularly for areas with limited ground truth data. In this study, energy and water flux estimates from diagnostic Atmosphere-Land Exchange (ALEXI) and prognostic Noah land surface models are compared over the Nile River basin between 2007 and 2011. A second remote sensing data set, generated with Penman-Monteith approach as implemented in the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MOD16 ET product, is also included as a comparative technique. In general, spatial and temporal distributions of flux estimates from ALEXI and Noah are similar in regions where the climate is temperate and local rainfall is the primary source of water available for ET. However, the diagnostic ALEXI model is better able to retrieve ET signals not directly coupled with the local precipitation rates, for example, over irrigated agricultural areas or regions influenced by shallow water tables. These hydrologic features are not well represented by either Noah or MOD16. Evaluation of consistency between diagnostic and prognostic model estimates can provide useful information about relative product skill, particularly over regions where ground data are limited or nonexistent as in the Nile basin.

AB  - Abstract: Advances in next-generation sequencing and genotyping technologies have enabled generation of large-scale genomic resources such as molecular markers, transcript reads and BAC-end sequences (BESs) in chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, three major legume crops of the semi-arid tropics. Comprehensive transcriptome assemblies and genome sequences have either been developed or underway in these crops. Based on these resources, dense genetic maps, QTL maps as well as physical maps for these legume species have also been developed. As a result, these crops have graduated from ‘orphan’ or ‘less-studied’ crops to ‘genomic resources rich’ crops. This article summarizes the above-mentioned advances in genomics and genomics-assisted breeding applications in the form of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for hybrid purity assessment in pigeonpea; marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) for introgressing QTL region for drought-tolerance related traits, Fusarium wilt (FW) resistance and Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance in chickpea; late leaf spot (LLS), leaf rust and nematode resistance in groundnut. We critically present the case of use of other modern breeding approaches like marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) and genomic selection (GS) to utilize the full potential of genomics-assisted breeding for developing superior cultivars with enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses. In addition, this article recommends the use of advanced-backcross (AB-backcross) breeding and development of specialized populations such as multi-parents advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) for creating new variations that will help in developing superior lines with broadened genetic base. In summary, we propose the use of integrated genomics and breeding approach in these legume crops to enhance crop productivity in marginal environments ensuring food security in developing countries.

AB  - Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. We review the environmental factors controlling their structure and global distribution and evaluate their current and future trajectory. Adaptations of trees to climate and resource gradients, coupled with disturbances and forest dynamics, create complex geographical patterns in forest assemblages and structures. These patterns are increasingly discernible through new satellite and airborne observation systems, improved forest inventories, and global ecosystem models. Forest biomass is a complex property affected by forest distribution, structure, and ecological processes. Since at least 1990, biomass density has consistently increased in global established forests, despite increasing mortality in some regions, suggesting that a global driver such as elevated CO2 may be enhancing biomass gains. Global forests have also apparently become more dynamic. Advanced information about the structure, distribution, and biomass of the world's forests provides critical ecological insights and opportunities for sustainable forest management and enhancing forest conservation and ecosystem services.

AB  - Background Saflufenacil dissipation in soils under different moisture conditions is not available in the scientific literature. The objective of this study was to evaluate saflufenacil degradation and persistence in soils from rice regions under field capacity (non-flooded) and saturated (flooded) conditions. Results The accelerated solvent extraction ( ASE) residue analytical method developed to conduct the study resulted in recovery greater than 80% for the combinations of soils and moisture conditions. Saflufenacil degradation was faster at field capacity for all soils, except for Morey soil. Herbicide half-life was 28.6, 15.0 and 23.1 days under field capacity treatments and 58.8, 36.9 and 79.7 under saturated conditions for Nada, Crowley and Gilbert soils respectively. A half-life no longer than 80 days was observed for the combination of soils and moisture treatments. Conclusion An ASE method was developed and used to extract saflufenacil from soil samples. Half-life averaged among soils was 59 and 33 days for saturated and field capacity respectively. Saflufenacil persistence in the environment was 2-3 times longer under flooded conditions for most of the soils studied. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discuses the effects of rising human population on natural resources such as water, energy and food. It mentions that the human reliance on high-external-input systems, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in crop production, has negatively impacted human health and natural resources. It further reflects on the efforts of researchers and community leaders to bring new approaches to address multiscale interactions among ecological drivers in agricultural production.

AB  - Abstract: A temperature-sensitive shuttle vector, pBB80C, was utilized to generate in-frame deletion mutants of the leukotoxin structural gene (lktA) of Mannheimia haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12. Culture supernatants from the mutants contained a truncated protein with an approximate molecular weight of 66 kDa which was reactive to anti-leukotoxin monoclonal antibody. No protein reactive to anti-LktA monoclonal antibody was detected at the molecular weight 100–105 kDa of native LktA. Sheep and goats vaccinated intramuscularly with a mixture of serotypes 5 and 6 mutants were resistant to virulent challenge with a mixture of the wild-type parent strains. These vaccinates responded serologically to both vaccine serotypes and exhibited markedly-reduced lung lesion volume and pulmonary infectious load compared to control animals. Control animals yielded a mixture of serotypes from lung lobes, but the proportion even within an individual animal varied widely from 95% serotype 5–95% serotype 6. Cultures recovered from liver were homogeneous, but two animals yielded serotype 5 and the other two yielded serotype 6 in pure culture. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Climate change alters the functions of ecological systems. As a result, the provision of ecosystem services and the well-being of people that rely on these services are being modified. Climate models portend continued warming and more frequent extreme weather events across the US. Such weather-related disturbances will place a premium on the ecosystem services that people rely on. We discuss some of the observed and anticipated impacts of climate change on ecosystem service provision and livelihoods in the US. We also highlight promis-ing adaptive measures. The challenge will be choosing which adaptive strategies to implement, given limited resources and time. We suggest using dynamic balance sheets or accounts of natural capital and natural assets to prioritize and evaluate national and regional adaptation strategies that involve ecosystem services.

AB  - Abstract: The potentially devastating impacts of climate change on biodiversity and food security, together with the growing world population, means taking action to conserve crop wild relative (CWR) diversity is no longer an option—it is an urgent priority. CWR are species closely related to crops, including their progenitors, which have potential to contribute traits for crop improvement. However, their utilisation is hampered by a lack of systematic conservation which in turn is due to a lack of clarity over their identity. We used gene pool and taxon group concepts to estimate CWR relatedness for 173 priority crops to create the Harlan and de Wet inventory of globally important CWR taxa. Further taxa more remotely related to crops were added if they have historically been found to have useful traits for crop improvement. The inventory contains 1667 taxa, divided between 37 families, 108 genera, 1392 species and 299 sub-specific taxa. The region with the highest number of priority CWR is western Asia with 262 taxa, followed by China with 222 and southeastern Europe with 181. Within the primary gene pool, 242 taxa were found to be under-represented in ex situ collections and the countries identified as the highest priority for further germplasm collection are China, Mexico and Brazil. The inventory database is web-enabled (http://www.cwrdiversity.org/checklist/) and can be used to facilitate in situ and ex situ conservation planning at global, regional and national levels.

AB  - Abstract: Trichothecenes, a major class of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium, Myrothecium, and Stachybotrys species, are toxic to both plants and mammals. Simple trichothecenes, including type A (e.g., T-2 toxin) and type B (e.g., deoxynivalenol), are generally less toxic than macrocyclic trichothecenes. We sought to determine if simple trichothecenes are a potential source of candidates for development as bioherbicides, which require high phytotoxicity and low mammalian toxicity. We examined 28 simple trichothecenes in vitro for phytotoxicity using a small aquatic plant, Lemna pausicostata, and for mammalian toxicity using four cultured mammalian cell lines. Several structure–activity relationships were identified, including the following two, which may be relevant to bioherbicide development: peracetylation of type B trichothecenes and de-epoxidation of type A trichothecenes both substantially reduced mammalian toxicity with little effect on phytotoxicity. It was concluded that simple trichothecenes possessing strong phytotoxicity and minimal mammalian toxicity in vitro can be identified. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi that contains many agronomically important plant pathogens, mycotoxin producers, and opportunistic human pathogens. Comparative analyses have revealed that the Fusarium genome is compartmentalized into regions responsible for primary metabolism and reproduction (core genome), and pathogen virulence, host specialization, and possibly other functions (adaptive genome). Genes involved in virulence and host specialization are located on pathogenicity chromosomes within strains pathogenic to tomato ( Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) and pea ( Fusarium ' solani' f. sp. pisi). The experimental transfer of pathogenicity chromosomes from F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici into a nonpathogen transformed the latter into a tomato pathogen. Thus, horizontal transfer may explain the polyphyletic origins of host specificity within the genus. Additional genome-scale comparative and functional studies are needed to elucidate the evolution and diversity of pathogenicity mechanisms, which may help inform novel disease management strategies against fusarial pathogens.

AB  - Abstract: Here we present the chemical characterization of the water-soluble organic carbon fraction of atmospheric aerosol collected during a prescribed fire burn in relation to soil organic matter and biomass combustion. Using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we observed that humic-like substances in fire emissions have been associated with soil organic matter rather than biomass. Using a chemical mass balance model, we estimated that soil organic matter may contribute up to 41% of organic hydrogen and up to 27% of water-soluble organic carbon in fire emissions. Dust particles, when mixed with fresh combustion emissions, substantially enhances the atmospheric oxidative capacity, particle formation and microphysical properties of clouds influencing the climatic responses of atmospheric aeroso. Owing to the large emissions of combustion aerosol during fires, the release of dust particles from soil surfaces that are subjected to intense heating and shear stress has, so far, been lacking.

AB  - Abstract: Fungal biodiversity is one of the most important contributors to the occurrence and severity of mycotoxin contamination of crop plants. Phenotypic and metabolic plasticity has enabled mycotoxigenic fungi to colonize a broad range of agriculturally important crops and to adapt to a range of environmental conditions. New mycotoxin-commodity combinations provide evidence for the ability of fungi to adapt to changing conditions and the emergence of genotypes that confer enhanced aggressiveness toward plants and/or altered mycotoxin production profiles. Perhaps the most important contributor to qualitative differences in mycotoxin production among fungi is variation in mycotoxin biosynthetic genes. Molecular genetic and biochemical analyses of toxigenic fungi have elucidated specific differences in biosynthetic genes that are responsible for intra- and inter-specific differences in mycotoxin production. For Aspergillus and Fusarium, the mycotoxigenic genera of greatest concern, variation in biosynthetic genes responsible for production of individual families of mycotoxins appears to be the result of evolutionary adaptation. Examples of such variation have been reported for: a) aflatoxin biosynthetic genes in Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus; b) trichothecene biosynthetic genes within and among Fusarium species; and c) fumonisin biosynthetic genes in Aspergillus and Fusarium species. Understanding the variation in these biosynthetic genes and the basis for variation in mycotoxin production is important for accurate assessment of the risks that fungi pose to food safety and for prevention of mycotoxin contamination of crops in the field and in storage.

AB  - The article discusses a study that determined whether waterfowl can be infected by freshwater snails with avian influenza (AI) viruses by serving as a means of transmission between infected and naive waterfowl via ingestion. Findings found no infection in the immunologically naive Mallards, suggesting that transmission via ingestion likely did not occur. It indicates that the particular trophic interaction does not play an important role in the transmission of AI viruses in aquatic habitats.

AB  - Increasing the supply of biodiesel by defining and developing additional feedstocks is important to overcome the still limited amounts available of this alternative fuel. In this connection, the methyl esters of the seed oil of Gliricidia sepium were synthesized and the significant fuel-related properties were determined. The fatty acid profile was also determined with saturated fatty acids comprising slightly more than 35 %, 16.5 % palmitic, 14.5 % stearic, as well as lesser amounts of even longer-chain fatty acids. Linoleic acid is the most prominent acid at about 49 %. Corresponding to the high content of saturated fatty acid methyl esters, cold flow is the most problematic property as shown by a high cloud point of slightly >20 °C. Otherwise, the properties of G. sepium methyl esters are acceptable for biodiesel use when comparing them to specifications in biodiesel standards but the problematic cold flow properties would need to be observed. The H- and C-NMR spectra of G. sepium methyl esters are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper describes a recent Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) workshop on Human Resource Development (HRD), which focused on assisting participants from emerging nuclear states develop the essential elements of a National Human Resource strategy for nuclear power. The need to develop a cadre of skilled professionals capable of implementing a nuclear power program has been singled out as a key milestone by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its 2007 Milestones in the Development of a National Infrastructure for Nuclear Power document. A number of countries considering nuclear energy have reiterated that HRD is a major need and priority but many have expressed concerns over assuring the long-term availability of crucial human resources, initiating the workforce planning process, and determining the key elements of developing a national strategy. This paper will describe the methodology for developing human resources presented during the NNSA workshop and present lessons learned and recommendations for future workshops.

AB  - In anticipation of the nuclear renaissance and the increasing safeguards burden that will accompany it, the United States is working with the international community to strengthen the international safeguards regime. Part of this work focuses on developing a cadre of safeguards professionals capable of implementing international safeguards in their countries. In support of this effort, the U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) hosted a workshop from May 4-22, 2009, on the fundamental elements of international safeguards. Entitled "A Technical Training Workshop on International Safeguards," the workshop introduced post-graduate students and entry-level experts from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to the fundamental issues and best practices associated with international safeguards and encouraged them to explore potential career paths in safeguards. Workshops like this strengthen the international safeguards regime by promoting the development of a "safeguards culture" among young nuclear professionals within nascent nuclear countries. While this concept of "safeguards culture" is sometimes hard to define and even harder to measure, this paper will demonstrate that the promotion of safeguards cultures through workshops, such as this one, are a concrete way to strengthen the nonproliferation regime.

AB  - Joint efforts by the Electrochemical Plant (ECP) in Zelenogorsk, Russia, and the United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A) Program to upgrade high enrichment material security systems at ECP began circa 1996. The commissioning of ECP major MPC&A systems upgrades occurred in December 2004. Since that time, the US Project Team (USPT) and ECP personnel have focused jointly on upgraded MPC&A systems maintenance and operational support. At the initial stage of the operational support program, implementation was directed mainly at maintenance and replacement of non-functioning equipment, and later expanded to the long-term sustainability of all MPC&A equipment and systems. The site-wide Sustainability Program (SP) utilizes seven principal elements in defining a comprehensive approach to the prioritization of site activities in order to ensure robust MPC&A Systems operation. This paper specifically addresses the present assessment and future plans of joint USPT and Site Sustainability Working Group (SSWG) work intended to implement one of the seven sustainability elements - the MPC&A Human Resource Management (HRM) and Site Training Program. ECP has established a functioning Organization responsible for MPC&A Human Resource Management and Site Personnel Retraining and Professional Development Program. In accordance with current regulations, MPC&A personnel, once in five years as a rule, takes training at one of the leading State Corporation Rosatom training centers. As a result of completed MPC&A upgrades, large numbers of modernized equipment were commissioned, and personnel re-training on the new systems would be necessary. Therefore, within the scope of the SP, proper upgrades were implemented to the ECP Personnel Training System specifically regarding MPC&A personnel training. A material and technical training basis (simulators, training classrooms) was created for MPC&A systems and equipment utilized at the site. In addition, the process of MPC&A personnel training and professional development was arranged with the involvement of the State Corporation Rosatom's training centers instructors and MPC&A equipment producing plants' specialists. The expected outcome of the completed activities is to create a cost-effective dedicated training and professional development system of MPC&A personnel at ECP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over the last six years, Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, has developed a 5½ year engineering degree program in the field of Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A). In 2009 the first students graduated with this new degree. There were 25 job offers from nuclear fuel cycle enterprises of Russia and Kazakhstan for 17 graduates of the program. Due to the rather wide selection of workplaces, all graduates have obtained positions at nuclear enterprises. The program was developed within the Applied Physics and Engineering Department (APED). The laboratory and methodological base has been created taking into consideration the experience of the similar program at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI). However, the TPU program has some distinguishing features such as the inclusion of special courses pertaining to fuel enrichment and reprocessing. During the last two years, three MPC&A laboratories have been established at APED. This was made possible due to several factors such as establishment of the State innovative educational program at TPU, assistance of the U.S. Department of Energy through Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the financial support of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority and some Russian private companies. All three of the MPC&A laboratories are part of the Innovative Educational Center "Nuclear Technologies and Non-Proliferation," which deals with many topics including research activities, development of new curricula for experts training and retraining, and training of master's students. In 2008, TPU developed a relationship with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which was familiarized with APED's current resources and activities. The IAEA has shown interest in creation of a master's degree educational program in the field of nuclear security at TPU. A future objective is to acquaint nuclear fuel cycle enterprises with new APED capabilities and involve the enterprises in the scientific and educational projects implemented through the Nuclear Technologies and Non-Proliferation Center. This paper describes the development of the MPC&A engineering degree program and future goals of TPU in the field of nonproliferation education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In September 2000, the Government of the United States and the Government of the Russian Federation signed an Agreement Concerning the Management and Disposition of Plutonium Designated as No Longer Required for Defense Purposes and Related Cooperation. This agreement requires the two countries to each dispose of 34 metric tons (for a total of 68 metric tons) of surplus weapons-grade plutonium in an environmentally safe and timely manner. Before implementing this agreement in the United States, the U.S. Department of Energy (the Department) prepared two detailed environmental impact statements (EISs) evaluating the potential environmental impacts of how and where to dispose of the U.S. surplus plutonium, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires Federal agencies to prepare an EIS for all major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. This paper focuses primarily on the environmental documents (including six supplement analyses) that have been prepared in support of implementing the U.S. Surplus Plutonium Disposition Program (the Program). The two EISs allowed the Department to select the technical disposition methods (converting the majority of the plutonium to mixed oxide fuel [MOX] fuel and immobilizing the remainder) and location of facilities needed to implement the Program (the Savannah River Site, South Carolina), and provided the basis for later supplemental NEPA evaluations for changes in Program direction. Each EIS took approximately 3 years to complete and evaluated a large number of alternatives. The NEPA process required the Department to issue draft documents for public review and hold public hearings before issuing the final documents and records of decision. The two EISs are the: (1) Storage and Disposition of Weapons-Usable Fissile Materials Final Programmatic EIS, issued December 1996; and (2) Surplus Plutonium Disposition EIS, issued November 1999. This paper also provides the current status of the Surplus Plutonium Disposition Program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Ulba Metallurgical Plant Joint Stock Company (ULBA) is one of the world's leading producers of uranium dioxide fuel pellets for commercial power plants as well as a major supplier of beryllium, tantalum, and niobium products. ULBA is incorporated into the National Atomic Company Kazatomprom. ULBA's Uranium Production Division has been fabricating and handling uranium materials for over 50 years with its primary products being: natural uranium oxides; low enriched uranium dioxide powder; and fuel pellets for WWER and RBMK reactors. Kazakhstan supports nuclear nonproliferation and has signed Nuclear Nonproliferation and Peaceful Use of Nuclear Power Agreements with Russia, the United States and European Community. Under this framework, ULBA successfully implemented the project to transport, store, and down blend BN-350 reactor fuel into low enriched uranium. Today, ULBA continues its support of nuclear nonproliferation by improving its capabilities and capacity for down blending high enriched uranium in various forms to low enriched uranium. This paper will focus on ULBA's down blending capabilities and future roles in supporting nuclear nonproliferation programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This paper examines the impact of participation in direct marketing on the entire distribution of farm sales using the unconditional quantile regression (UQR) estimator. Our analysis yields unbiased estimates of the unconditional impact of direct marketing on farm sales and reveals the heterogeneous effects that occur across the distribution of farm sales. The impacts of direct marketing efforts are uniformly negative across the UQR results, but declines in sales tend to grow smaller as sales increase. Producers planning to sell more in local outlets should expect sales to decline. Marketing experts and extension professionals can use this information to guide farmers who are considering initiating or expanding direct marketing activities.

N2  - We study how increases in wealth from rapid appreciation of farmland influenced farmer decisions to borrow, buy land, and expand. Exploiting periods of high and low appreciation and a panel data model that allows for correlation between prior growth trends and the share of land owned, we find that a dollar increase in paper wealth led younger farmers to increase real-estate-secured borrowing by 48 cents. Land purchases accompanied the increase in borrowing, supporting the view that collateral-based lending may be contributing to the recent runup in farmland prices. We find no effect of land wealth on production or acres harvested.

N2  - Wildlife incidents with aircraft are of concern in the United States as they pose a risk to human safety and economic losses for the aviation industry. Most previous research on wildlife-aircraft incidents has emphasized birds, bats, and ungulates. We queried the Federal Aviation Administration's National Wildlife Strike Database from 1990 to 2012 to characterize carnivore incidents with U.S. civil aircraft. We found 1016 carnivore incidents with aircraft representing at least 16 species, with coyotes (n = 404) being the species most frequently struck. California and Texas had the most reported incidents and incidents were most likely to occur at night from August to November. Overall estimated damage to aircraft was US$ 7 million. Coinciding with the increase in air traffic, the rate of carnivore-aircraft incidents increased 13.1% annually from 1990 to 2012 whereas the rate of damaging incidents remained fairly constant. Due to the increase in carnivore-aircraft incidents from 1990 to 2012, we recommend further research on techniques to increase detection of carnivores and implementation and scheduled maintenance of perimeter high fences for exclusion. Additionally, we recommend increasing patrol of runways, especially during peak incident periods (July-November) and at night (2000-0600 h).

N2  - In this article we specify a model of millet prices in the three West African countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Using data obtained from USAID's Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) we present a unique regional millet price forecasting model that takes advantage of the panel nature of our data and accounts for the distance of rural markets from capital cities. Another novel aspect of our analysis is our use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to detect and control for variation in conditions for productivity. We find that including NDVI information significantly improves price forecasts.

N2  - This paper assesses the impact of nutrient prices on nutrient concentrations in agricultural watersheds. Specifically, we find that the price elasticity of nutrient emissions from agricultural watersheds is -0.17 to -0.34, suggesting that a 10% increase in nitrogen or phosphorus prices faced by farmers would lead to up to a 3.4% reduction in nitrogen or phosphorus emissions from a watershed. While this sounds modest, it is about the same size as estimates of the price elasticity of nutrient demand by farmers, a relationship which also is very inelastic. Our results suggest that when prices for nutrients rise, there is a direct effect on nutrient emissions from watersheds. Given recent concerns about phosphorus in Lake Erie, we assess the potential implications of applying a phosphorus usage fee to reduce phosphorus emissions there. We find that a 25% increase in phosphorus prices would reduce nutrient outputs from the three Lake Erie watersheds we modelled by 6.5%, or 210 t phosphorus per year, and cost about $6ha[superscript -1] yr[superscript -1]. These costs are similar to estimates of the costs of reducing phosphorus through waste water treatment plants, and less than the costs of other widely used agricultural best management practices like cover crops.

AB  - Grasslands and agroecosystems occupy one-third of the terrestrial area, but their contribution to the global carbon cycle remains uncertain. We used a set of 316 site-years of CO2 exchange measurements to quantify gross primary productivity, respiration, and light-response parameters of grasslands, shrublands/savanna, wetlands, and cropland ecosystems worldwide. We analyzed data from 72 global flux-tower sites partitioned into gross photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration with the use of the light-response method (Gilmanov, T. G., D. A. Johnson, and N. Z. Saliendra. 2003. Growing season CO2 fluxes in a sagebrush-steppe ecosystem in Idaho: Bowen ratio/energy balance measurements and modeling. Basic and Applied Ecology 4:167-183) from the RANGEFLUX and WORLDGRASSAGRIFLUX data sets supplemented by 46 sites from the FLUXNET La Thuile data set partitioned with the use of the temperature-response method (Reichstein, M., E. Falge, D. Baldocchi, D. Papale, R. Valentini, M. Aubinet, P. Berbigier, C. Bernhofer, N. Buchmann, M. Falk, T. Gilmanov, A. Granier, T. Grünwald, K. Havránková, D. Janous, A. Knohl, T. Laurela, A.

Yakir. 2005. On the separation of net ecosystem exchange into assimilation and ecosystem respiration: review and improved algorithm. Global Change Biology 11:1424-1439). Maximum values of the quantum yield (α = 75 mmol ⋅ mol-1), photosynthetic capacity (Amax = 3.4 mg CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ s-1), gross photosynthesis (Pg,max = 116 g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ d-1), and ecological light-use efficiency (εecol = 59 mmol ⋅ mol-1) of managed grasslands and high-production croplands exceeded those of most forest ecosystems, indicating the potential of nonforest ecosystems for uptake of atmospheric CO2. Maximum values of gross primary production (8600g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ yr-1), total ecosystem respiration (7900g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ yr-1), and net CO2 exchange (2400g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ yr-1) were observed for intensively managed grasslands and high-yield crops, and are comparable to or higher than those for forest ecosystems, excluding some tropical forests. On average, 80% of the nonforest sites were apparent sinks for atmospheric CO2, with mean net uptake of 700 g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ yr-1 for intensive grasslands and 933 g CO2 ⋅ m-2 ⋅ d-1 for croplands. However, part of these apparent sinks is accumulated in crops and forage, which are carbon pools that are harvested, transported, and decomposed off site. Therefore, although agricultural fields may be predominantly sinks for atmospheric CO2, this does not imply that they are necessarily increasing their carbon stock. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los valores máximos de producción primaria bruta (8 600 g CO2 m-2 yr-1), la respiración total del ecosistema (7900 g CO2 m-2 yr-1) y el intercambio de CO2 neto (2400 g CO2 m-2 yr-1) se observaron para pastizales manejados intensamente y cultivos de alto rendimiento y son comparables o superiores a los de los ecosistemas forestales, con exclusión de algunos bosques tropicales. En promedio, 80% de los sitios no forestales eran evidentes los sumideros de CO2 atmosférico, con un promedio neto de absorción de 700 g CO2 m-2 yr-1 para pastizales manejados intensivamente y 933 g CO2 m-2 yr-1 para tierras de cultivo. Sin embargo, parte de estos aparentes sumideros se acumulan en los cultivos y forrajes, que son reservorios de carbono que son cosechados, transportados y descompuestos fuera del sitio. Por lo tanto, aunque los campos agrícolas pueden ser predominantemente sumideros de CO2 atmosférico, esto no implica que necesariamente estén aumentando sus reservas de carbono.

AB  - This forum manuscript examines the importance of grazing lands for sequestering soil organic carbon (SOC), providing societal benefits, and potential influences on them of emerging policies and legislation. Global estimates are that grazing lands occupy ~ 3.6 billion ha and account for about one-fourth of potential carbon (C) sequestration in world soils. They remove the equivalent of ~ 20% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released annually into the earth's atmosphere from global deforestation and land-use changes. Atmospheric CO2 enters grazing lands soils through photosynthetic assimilation by green plants, subsequent cycling, and sequestration of some of that C as SOC to in turn contribute to the ability of grazing lands to provide societal (environmental and economic) benefits in every country where they exist. Environmental benefits provided include maintenance and well-being of immediate and surrounding soil and water resources, air quality, human and wildlife habitat, and esthetics. Grazing lands contribute to the economic well-being of those living on the land, to trade, and to exchange of goods and services derived from them at local, regional, or national levels. Rates of SOC sequestration vary with climate, soil, and management; examples and conditions selected from US literature illustrate the SOC sequestration that might be achieved. Public efforts, policy considerations, and research in the United States illustrate possible alternatives that impact grazing lands. Discussion of US policy issues related to SOC sequestration and global climate change reflect the importance attached to these topics and of pending legislative initiatives in the United States. Addressing primarily US policy does not lessen the importance of such issues in other countries, but allows an in-depth analysis of legislation, US Department of Agriculture program efforts, soil C credits in greenhouse gas markets, and research needs.

AB  - Este manuscrito examina la importancia de las "tierras de pastoreo" en el secuestro de carbono orgánico en el suelo (COS) y en la provisión de beneficios a la sociedad, y las influencias potenciales que las políticas y legislación emergentes puedan tener sobre las características mencionadas. Según estimaciones globales, las tierras de pastoreo ocupan ~ 3.600 millones ha e incluyen aproximadamente un cuarto del potencial edáfico mundial de secuestro de carbono. Remueven el equivalente a ~ 20% del dióxido de carbono (CO2) liberado a la atmosfera anualmente por la deforestación y los cambios en el uso de la tierra. El CO2 atmosférico ingresa en las tierras de pastoreo mediante la asimilación fotosintética de plantas verdes, el ciclado subsecuente, y el secuestro de parte de ese C como COS que a la vez hace que las tierras de pastoreo puedan proveer beneficios (tanto ambientales como económicos) a la sociedad de todo país que contenga dichas tierras. Los beneficios ambientales que las mismas proveen incluyen el mantenimiento y bienestar de suelos y agua adyacentes y cercanos, la calidad del aire, el hábitat humano y para la fauna silvestre, y los valores estéticos. Las tierras de pastoreo contribuyen al bienestar económico de quienes viven de la tierra, permitiéndoles el comercio e intercambio de los bienes y servicios derivados de dichas tierras a nivel local, regional, o nacional. Las tasas de secuestro de COS varían con el clima, el suelo, y el manejo; ejemplos y condiciones seleccionadas de la literatura de los EE.UU. ilustran los niveles de secuestro de COS factibles de alcanzar. Esfuerzos públicos, consideraciones de políticas, e investigación en los EE.UU. ilustran las posibles alternativas que impactan las tierras de pastoreo. La discusión de temáticas asociadas con las políticas de los EE.UU. en relación con el secuestro de COS y el cambio climático global reflejan la importancia que se le asigna a estos temas y a la legislación pendiente en los EE.UU. El abordaje de las políticas de los EE.UU., no va en desmedro de la importancia de esta temática en otros países, pero permite un análisis detallado de la legislación, los programas del USDA, de los créditos de C edáfico en mercados climáticos, y de necesidades de investigación.

AB  - A mobile, closed-chamber system (CC) was used to measure carbon and water fluxes on four land-use types common in the Kazakh steppe ecoregion. Land uses represented crop (wheat or barley, WB), abandoned land (AL), crested wheatgrass (CW), and virgin land (VL). Measurements were conducted during the growing season of 2002 in northern Kazakhstan at three locations (blocks) 15-20 km apart. The CC allowed the measurement of the carbon flux components of net ecosystem exchange (NEE), ecosystem respiration (RE) and soil respiration (RS), together with evapotranspiration (ET). Nonlinear regression analyses were used to model gross primary production (GPP) and ET as a function of photosynthetically active radiation (Q); RE and RS were modeled based on air (Tair) and soil (Ts) temperature, respectively. GPP, RE, RS, and ET were estimated for the entire year with the use of continuous 20-rain means of Q, Tair, and Ts. Annual NEE indicated that AL gained 536 g CO2 ⋅ m-2, WB lost - 191 g CO2 ⋅ m-2, CW was near equilibrium (-14 g CO2 ⋅ m-2), and VL exhibited considerable carbon accumulation (153 g CO2 ⋅ m-2). The lower GPP values of the land-use types dominated by native species (CW and VL) compared to WB and AL were compensated by positive NEE values that were maintained during a longer growing season. As expected, VL and CW allocated a larger proportion of their carbon assimilates belowground. Non-growing-season RE accounted for about 19% of annual RE in all land-use types. The results of this landscape-level study suggest that carbon lost by cultivation of VLs is partially being restored when fields are left uncultivated, and that VLs are net sinks of carbon. Estimations of carbon balances have important management implications, such as estimation of ecosystem productivity and carbon credit certification. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Un sistema de cámara cerrada móvil (CC) se utilizó para medir los flujos de carbono y agua en cuatro tipos comunes de uso de suelo en la ecorregión de la estepa de Kazajstán. Los usos de suelo representaron un cultivo (trigo o cebada, WB), tierras abandonadas (AL), triguillo crestado (CW) y tierras vírgenes (VL). Las mediciones se llevaron a cabo durante la estación de crecimiento del año 2002 en el norte de Kazajstán en tres sitios (bloques) distantes 15-20 km entre si. La CC permitió medir los componentes del flujo de carbono de intercambio neto del ecosistema (NEE), la respiración ecosistémica (RE) y la respiración de suelo (RS), junto con la evapotranspiración (ET). Se utilizó análisis de regresión no-lineal para modelar la producción primaria bruta (GPP) y ET en función de la radiación fotosintéticamente activa (Q); RE y RS se modelaron a partir de la temperatura del aire (Tair) y del suelo (Ts), respectivamente. Los GPP, RE, RS, y ET fueron estimados para el año completo usando los promedios continuos de 20 minutos de Q, Tair y Ts. El NEE anual mostró que AL ganó 536 g CO2 ⋅ m-2, mientras que el WB emitió - 191 g CO2 ⋅ m-2, el CW estaba cerca del equilibrio (- 14 g CO2 ⋅ m-2), y la VL exhibió una acumulación de carbono considerable (153 g CO2 ⋅ m-2. Los valores de GPP más bajos de los tipos de uso de suelos dominados por especies nativas (CW y VL) comparados con WB y AL fueron compensados por valores positivos de NEE, los cuales se mantuvieron durante una estación de crecimiento más prolongada. Tal como se esperaba, VL y CW destinaron una mayor proporción de sus carbonos asimilados debajo de la superficie del suelo. La RE de la estación de receso representó un 19% de la RE anual en todos los usos de suelo. Los resultados de este estudio a nivel de paisaje sugieren que el carbono perdido al momento de cultivar las tierras vírgenes está siendo parcialmente restaurado cuando los campos se dejan sin cultivar, y esas tierras vírgenes son sumideros netos de carbono. Las estimaciones de los balances de carbono tienen implicaciones importantes de manejo, tales como la estimación de la productividad del ecosistema y la certificación de crédito de carbono.

AB  - Red clover ( Trifolium pratense) leaves accumulate several μmol of phaselic acid [2- O-caffeoyl- l-malate] per gram fresh weight. Post-harvest oxidation of such o-diphenols to o-quinones by endogenous polyphenol oxidases (PPO) prevents breakdown of forage protein during storage. Forages like alfalfa ( Medicago sativa) lack both foliar PPO activity and o-diphenols. Consequently, breakdown of their protein upon harvest and storage results in economic losses and release of excess nitrogen into the environment. Understanding how red clover synthesizes o-diphenols such as phaselic acid will help in the development of forages utilizing this natural system of protein protection. We have proposed biosynthetic pathways in red clover for phaselic acid that involve a specific hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:malate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase. It is unclear whether the transfer reaction to malate to form phaselic acid involves caffeic acid or p-coumaric acid and subsequent hydroxylation of the resulting p-coumaroyl-malate. The latter would require a coumarate 3′-hydroxylase (C3′H) capable of hydroxylating p-coumaroyl-malate, an activity not previously described. Here, a cytochrome P450 C3′H (CYP98A44) was identified and its gene cloned from red clover. CYP98A44 shares 96 and 79% amino acid identity with Medicago truncatula and Arabidopsis thaliana C3′H proteins that are capable of hydroxylating p-coumaroyl-shikimate and have been implicated in monolignol biosynthesis. CYP98A44 mRNA is expressed in stems and flowers and to a lesser extent in leaves. Immune serum raised against CYP98A44 recognizes a membrane-associated protein in red clover stems and leaves and cross-reacts with C3′H proteins from other species. CYP98A44 expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is capable of hydroxylating p-coumaroyl-shikimate, but not p-coumaroyl-malate. This finding indicates that in red clover, phaselic acid is likely formed by transfer of a caffeoyl moiety to malic acid, although the existence of a second C3′H capable of hydroxylating p-coumaroyl-malate cannot be definitively ruled out.

AB  - Oxytetracycline ((2Z,4S,4aR,5S,5aR,6S,12aS)-2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a member of tetracycline antibiotics family and is widely administered to farm animals for the purpose of therapeutical treatment and health protection. Increasing attention has been paid to the environmental fate of oxytetracycline and other veterinary antibiotics with the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment. The hydrolysis and photolysis degradation of oxytetracycline was investigated in this study. Oxytetracycline hydrolysis was found to obey the first-order model and similar rate constant values ranging from 0.094 ± 0.001 to 0.106 ± 0.003 day- 1 were obtained at different initial concentration ranging from 10 to 230 μ M. Solution pH and temperature were shown to have remarked effects on oxytetracycline hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in pH neutral solution appeared to be much faster than in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Oxytetracycline half-life decreased from 1.2 × 102 to 0.15 day with the increasing temperature from 4 ± 0.8 to 60 ± 1°C. The presence of Ca2 + made oxytetracycline hydrolytic degradation kinetics deviate from the simple first-order model to the availability-adjusted first-order model and greatly slowed down the hydrolysis. Oxytetracycline photolysis was found to be very fast with a degradation rate constant at 3.61 ± 0.06 day- 1, which is comparable to that of hydrolysis at 60°C. The presence of Ca2 + accelerated oxytetracycline photolysis, implying that oxytetracycline become more vulnerable to sunlight irradiation after chelating with Ca2 +. The photolysis may be the dominant degradation pathway of oxytetracycline in shallow transparent water environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ice cream has been manufactured commercially in the United States since the middle of the 19th century. Ice cream and frozen dessert products comprise an important and relatively stable component of the United States dairy industry. As with many other dairy products, ice cream is differentiated in several dimensions. A censored translog demand system model was employed to analyze purchases of 3 ice cream product categories. The objective of this study was to determine the effect that changes in retail prices and consumer income have on at-home ice cream consumption. The analysis was based on Nielsen 2005 home scan retail data and used marital status, age, race, education, female employment status, and location in the estimations of aggregate demand elasticities. Results revealed that price and consumer income were the main determinants of demand for ice cream products. Calculated own-price elasticities indicated relatively elastic responses by consumers for all categories except for compensated bulk ice cream. All expenditure elasticities were inelastic except for bulk ice cream, and most of the ice cream categories were substitutes. Ongoing efforts to examine consumer demand for these products will assist milk producers, dairy processors and manufacturers, and dairy marketers as they face changing consumer responses to food and diet issues.

AB  - The aim of this study was to examine changes in RNA expression for growth factors, cytokines, and receptors in epidermal-dermal tissues of the bovine claw relative to host age, claw segment, and disease state of the horn. Epidermal-dermal tissues were collected from the coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segments of 8- to 9-mo-old Holstein fetuses, normal adult cows, and adult cows with sole ulceration. Anatomic and pathologic characteristics were determined in tissues stained with eosin and hematoxylin, and RNA expression levels were evaluated using real-time, quantitative PCR. In normal tissues, certain RNA expression levels were clearly affected by host age: 290.0-, 610.0-, 53.4-, and 8.1-fold greater expression of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor was observed in fetal coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segment relative to adult tissues, respectively. A claw segment effect was also observed in that IL-1α expression was greater (1.59-fold) in the normal adult wall relative to the coronary segment, and IL- 18 expression was greater (16.2-fold) in the normal adult sole compared with the coronary segment and 2.88 greater in the fetal sole relative to the bulb segment. Sole ulceration was associated with hemorrhage, thrombosis, inflammation, and striking increases in IL-1β, IL-18, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and with less dramatic, albeit measurable, changes in IL-1 type I receptor, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Amidst striking increases in keratinocyte growth factor receptor (i.e., 21.0-fold, 10.4-fold, 0, and 21.6-fold in the coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segments, respectively), a concomitant decrease occurred in keratinocyte growth factor (i.e., 0.80-, 0.54-, 0.56-, and 0.72-fold, respectively). The results demonstrated changes in disease state and, to a lesser extent, claw segment and were accompanied by alterations in the RNA expression of several cytokines, growth factors, and receptors present in the normal claw.

AB  - Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus are potent carcinogens that contaminate agricultural crops. Recent efforts to reduce aflatoxin concentrations in crops have focused on biological control using nonaflatoxigenic A. flavus strains AF36 (=NRRL 18543) and NRRL 21882 (the active component of afla-guard®). However, the evolutionary potential of these strains to remain nonaflatoxigenic in nature is unknown. To elucidate the underlying population processes that influence aflatoxigenicity, we examined patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) spanning 21 regions in the aflatoxin gene cluster of A. flavus. We show that recombination events are unevenly distributed across the cluster in A. flavus. Six distinct LD blocks separate late pathway genes aflE, aflM, aflN, aflG, aflL, aflI and aflO, and there is no discernable evidence of recombination among early pathway genes aflA, aflB, aflC, aflD, aflR and aflS. The discordance in phylogenies inferred for the aflW/aflX intergenic region and two noncluster regions, tryptophan synthase and acetamidase, is indicative of trans-species evolution in the cluster. Additionally, polymorphisms in aflW/aflX divide A. flavus strains into two distinct clades, each harbouring only one of the two approved biocontrol strains. The clade with AF36 includes both aflatoxigenic and nonaflatoxigenic strains, whereas the clade with NRRL 21882 comprises only nonaflatoxigenic strains and includes all strains of A. flavus missing the entire gene cluster or with partial gene clusters. Our detection of LD blocks in partial clusters indicates that recombination may have played an important role in cluster disassembly, and multilocus coalescent analyses of cluster and noncluster regions indicate lineage-specific gene loss in A. flavus. These results have important implications in assessing the stability of biocontrol strains in nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An environmental survey of tabanid host spiroplasma carriage was undertaken at 10 collection sites in Australia during February 1999. A total of 164 tabanid flies, representing 27 species, were collected and sustainable spiroplasma isolations were made from 48 of the flies. The morphology of the cultured spiroplasmas, as observed in M1D medium under dark-field microscopy, was typical of either (i) Apis group spiroplasmas (relatively thick cells (~150 nm) with six or more turns) or (ii) chrysopicola-syrphidicola-TAAS-1 clade spiroplasmas (narrower, often much shorter cells) serologically related to Spiroplasma serogroup VIII. Repetitive serological analyses, involving successive rounds of dilution cloning and serological reevaluation, identified one serotype referable to the Spiroplasma serogroup VIII strain complex and five putative members of the Apis clade. Apis clade placement for these five groups was verified using 16S rRNA phylogenetic analyses. Among the Apis clade members, one serotype representing 11 isolates was identified as a geographic variant of Spiroplasma turonicum. Spiroplasma turonicum (Tab4C) was originally isolated from a tabanid Haematopoda sp. in France. The other 34 isolates represented four new serogroups (= putative species). The following strains are proposed as representatives of the new serogroups: strain GSU5478 (group XXXIX), strain GSU5490 (group XL), strain GSU5508 (group XLI), and strain GSU5603 (group XLII). In summary, six serogroups were observed from isolations originating from seven distinct sample sites in Australia. Surprisingly, the serotype with the greatest geographical range (five sites from 16°48.9′S to 35°40.0′S) and the greatest host diversity (nine species over three genera) was the geographic variant of S. turonicum, which had only been reported previously in France.

AB  - Une enquête environnementale de la transmission du spiroplasme des tabanides été réalisée sur 10 sites de récolte en Australie en février 1999. Un total de 164 tabanides représentant 27 espèces a été récolté et des isolements récurrents de spiroplasmes ont été faits sur 48 des mouches. La morphologie des spiroplasmes en culture, telle qu’observée dans le milieu M1D en microscopie sur fond noir, était typique soit (i) des spiroplasmes du groupe Apis (cellules relativement épaisses (~150 nm) possédant six vrilles ou plus) ou (ii) des spiroplasmes du clade des chrysopicola-syrphidocola-TAAS-1 (cellules plus étroites, souvent beaucoup plus courtes) reliées d’un point de vue sérologique aux Spiroplasma du groupe VIII. Des analyses sérologiques répétées impliquant plusieurs rondes de clonage par dilution et de réévaluation sérologique ont permis d’identifier un type sérologique attribuable aux Spiroplasma du groupe sérologique VIII, et cinq membres présumés du clade Apis. L’insertion de ces cinq groupes dans le clade Apis a été vérifiée par des analyses phylogéniques de l’ARNr 16S. Parmi les membres du clade Apis, un type sérologique représentant 11 isolats a été identifié comme un variant géographique de Spiroplasma turonicum. Spiroplasma turonicum (Tab4C) a été initialement isolé d’un Tabanidé Haematopoda sp. en France. Les 34 autres isolats représentaient quatre nouveaux groupes sérologiques (= espèces présumées). Les souches suivantes sont proposées comme représentatives de ces nouveaux groupes sérologiques : la souche GSU5478 (groupe XXXIX), la souche GSU5490 (groupe XL), la souche GSU5508 (groupe XLI) et la souche GSU5603 (groupe XLII). En résumé, six nouveaux groupes sérologiques ont été observés à la suite d’isolements réalisés sur sept sites d’échantillonnage distincts en Australie. Étonnamment, le type sérologique possédant le plus grand spectre géographique (cinq sites de 16°48,9′S à 35°40,0′S) et la plus grande diversité d’hôtes (neuf espèces appartenant à trois genres) était le variant géographique de S. turonicum, qui n’avait été initialement rapporté qu’en France.

AB  - Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich), a ciliated protozoan parasite of fish, expresses surface antigens (i-antigens), which react with host antibodies that render them immobile. The nucleotide sequence of an i-antigen gene of I. multifiliis strain ARS-6 was deduced. The predicted protein of 47 493 Da is comprised of 460 amino acids (aa's) arranged into five imperfect repeats with periodic cysteine residues with the structure: CX(19)20CX2CX16−27CX2CX20(21)CX3. The N-terminal aa's typify a signal peptide motif while a stretch of C-terminal aa's resemble a glycosyl–phosphatidyl–inositol (GPI)-anchor addition site. The degree of deduced i-antigen aa sequence identity of strain ARS-6 (GenBank accession # ACH87654 and # ACH95659) with other I. multifiliis i-antigen sequences present in GenBank ranges from 99% to 36% identity with 52 kDa i-antigens of I. multifiliis strain G5 (accession #s AAK94941 and AAK01661 respectively). Immunoblot analysis of i-antigens following exposure of I. multifiliis theronts to catfish anti- I. multifiliis immune serum did not show any appreciable alteration in i-antigen expression. The mechanism that regulates i-antigen expression in I. multifiliis remains a puzzling question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pichia pastoris was reassigned earlier to the genus Komagataella following phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences. Since that time, two additional species of Komagataella have been described, K. pseudopastoris and K. phaffii. Because these three species are unlikely to be resolved from the standard fermentation and growth tests used in yeast taxonomy, the identity of biotechnologically important strains of K. pastoris was determined from multigene sequence analyses. Results from this study show that the strain of ‘ Pichia pastoris’ commonly used in gene expression studies is actually K. phaffii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The social parasite ant Solenopsis daguerrei infests colonies of several mound-building fire ant species. Twenty-four microsatellite markers were isolated from a repeat-enriched genomic library of S. daguerrei. Eleven loci were polymorphic in this ant with two to six alleles per locus. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.0222 to 0.7940 among loci. Most microsatellites amplified successfully across the 11 Solenopsis species tested and will be useful for evolutionary genetic studies in this diverse ant group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article suggests that material flow analysis (MFA) has the potential to inform the next generation of environmental policies particularly in the U.S. through the illumination of materials use and associated emissions patterns. Several attributes of MFA coupled with complementary methods such as probabilistic modeling, behavioral modeling and macroeconomics are elaborated. The author concludes that MFA practitioners have the opportunity to strive to inform persistent and emerging U.S. environmental policy changes.

AB  - Aims:  To detect antimicrobial resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from turkey flocks using the microarray technology. Methods and Results:  A 775 gene probe oligonucleotide microarray was used to detect antimicrobial resistance genes in 34 isolates. All tetracycline-resistant Salmonella harboured tet(A), tet(C) or tet(R), with the exception of one Salmonella serotype Heidelberg isolate. The sul1 gene was detected in 11 of 16 sulfisoxazole-resistant isolates. The aadA, aadA1, aadA2, strA or strB genes were found in aminoglycoside-resistant isolates of Salm. Heidelberg, Salmonella serotype Senftenberg and untypeable Salmonella. The prevalence of mobile genetic elements, such as class I integron and transposon genes, in drug-resistant Salmonella isolates suggested that these elements may contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes in the preharvest poultry environment. Hierarchical clustering analysis demonstrated a close relationship between drug-resistant phenotypes and the corresponding antimicrobial resistance gene profiles. Conclusions:  Salmonella serotypes isolated from the poultry environment carry multiple genes that can render them resistant to several antimicrobials used in poultry and humans. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Multiple antimicrobial resistance genes in environmental Salmonella isolates could be identified efficiently by microarray analysis. Hierarchical clustering analysis of the data was also found to be a useful tool for analysing emerging patterns of drug resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To analyse the effect of cell-associated peptidases in yogurt starter culture strains Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (LB) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) on milk-protein-based antimicrobial and hypotensive peptides in order to determine their survival in yogurt-type dairy foods. Methods and Results:  The 11mer antimicrobial and 12mer hypotensive milk-protein-derived peptides were incubated with mid-log cells of LB and ST, which are required for yogurt production. Incubations were performed at pH 4·5 and 7·0, and samples removed at various time points were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The peptides remained mostly intact at pH 4·5 in the presence of ST strains and moderately digested by exposure to LB cells. Peptide loss occurred more rapidly and was more extensive after incubation at pH 7·0. Conclusions:  The 11mer and 12mer bioactive peptides may be added at the end of the yogurt-making process when the pH level has dropped to 4·5, limiting the overall extent of proteolysis. Significance and Impact of the Study:  The results show the feasibility of using milk-protein-based antimicrobial and hypotensive peptides as food supplements to improve the health-promoting qualities of liquid and semi-solid dairy foods prepared by the yogurt fermentation process.

AB  - For the past 35 years, a significant effort was devoted to identifying the cause of tall fescue toxicosis, a symptomless infection of tall fescue ( Schedonorus phoenix [Scop.] Holub, formerly Lolium arundinaceum [Schreb.] S. J. Darbyshire, and formerly Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) by a fungal endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum Glenn, Hanlin, and Bacon. This endophyte grows intercellularly in stems and leaf sheaths of the host plant. Among the cool-season perennial forages, only tall fescue tolerated the punishing weather, inhospitable soil, and performance demands of beef operations on a consistent basis in the southeastern portion of the United States. Consequently, tall fescue became the forage grass of choice, which led eventually to its production on about 14 million hectares nationwide. Weather and soil conditions place numerous environmental- and management-induced stresses on the plant–fungus association that influence plant persistence and nutritive value, including alkaloid production. Livestock performance on endophyte-free tall fescue was shown to be superior to that obtained on endophyte-infected tall fescue, establishing the role of fungus in the syndrome. The suite of symptoms presenting in grazing cattle resembled ergotism but much of the early research did not target mycotoxins related to this malady. After discovery of the endophyte inhabiting tall fescue, research documented production of several types of ergot and other classes of alkaloids. This led, eventually, to numerous experiments designed to develop management strategies that reduced the toxic effects of host–endophyte associations on livestock health. Accumulation patterns of biologically active alkaloids and their responses to management were defined, suggesting possible ecological value of host–endophyte associations, and ultimately led to genetic approaches that minimized production of mycotoxins, while maintaining persistence and other agronomic traits of this valuable forage grass.

AB  - The ∼50 million-year-old fungus-farming ant mutualism is a classic example of coevolution , involving ants that subsist on asexual, fungal biomass, in turn propagating the fungus clonally through nest-to-nest transmission. Most mutualistic ants cultivate two closely related groups of gilled mushrooms, whereas one small group of ants in the genus Apterostigma cultivates a distantly related lineage comprised of the G2 and G4 groups. The G2 and G4 fungi were previously shown to form a monophyletic group sister to the thread-like coral mushroom family Pterulaceae. Here, we identify an enigmatic coral mushroom that produces both fertile and sterile fruiting structures as the closest free-living relative of the G4 fungi, challenging the monophyly of the Apterostigma-cultivated fungi for the first time. Both nonparametric bootstrap and Bayesian posterior probability support the node leading to the G4 cultivars and a free-living Pterula mushroom. These data suggest three scenarios that contradict the hypothesis of strict coevolution: (1) multiple domestications, (2) escape from domestication, (3) selection of single cultivar lineages from an ancestral mixed-fungus garden. These results illustrate how incomplete phylogenies for coevolved symbionts impede our understanding of the patterns and processes of coevolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An in-depth analysis was carried out with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for genes in and near the HMW-GS loci. Considerations for using ESTs are discussed, including the occurrence of chimeric and aberrant HMW-GS ESTs. Complete gene sequences demonstrated the feasibility of constructing accurate full-length coding regions from EST assemblies and found, or supported, errors in several previously reported HMW-GS gene sequences. New complete HMW-GS gene sequences are reported for the cultivars Chinese Spring and Glenlea. The Ay subunit gene, which is considered null in cultivated wheats, was shown to transcribe in at least two germplasms. Analyses support the conclusion that of the five known genes within this genomic region, the two HMW-GS genes and the globulin gene are highly expressed. The other two genes, encoding a receptor kinase and a protein kinase, have one and no identifiable wheat EST, respectively, although ESTs are found for the orthologous genes in barley. The ESTs of all five genes within the HMW-GS region are either definitely associated with the endosperm or possibly originate from imbibed seed, suggesting the four distinct gene classes in this region are part of a seed or endosperm chromatin domain. EST resources were also used to determine relative abundance of ESTs for all classes of wheat prolamines and indicated differential levels of expression both among germplasms and among the three genomes of hexaploid wheats.

AB  - Une analyse approfondie a été réalisée sur les étiquettes de séquences exprimées (EST) provenant des gènes situés dans ou à proximité des locus HMW-GS. Les raisons motivant l’emploi des EST sont discutées, incluant la présence d’EST chimériques et aberrants parmi les EST des locus HMW-GS. Des séquences nucléotidiques complètes ont montré la possibilité d’assembler des régions codantes complètes à partir d’assemblages d’EST et ont permis de trouver ou de confirmer des erreurs au sein de plusieurs des séquences rapportées antérieurement. De nouvelles séquences nucléotidiques complètes des gènes HMW-GS sont rapportées pour les cultivars Chinese Spring et Glenlea. Il a été montré que le gène Ay du locus HMW-GS, considéré comme nul chez les blés cultivés, était transcrit chez aux moins deux germoplasmes. Les analyses confirment que parmi les cinq gènes situés dans cette région du génome, les deux gènes HMW-GS et celui codant pour la globuline sont fortement exprimés. Les deux autres gènes, codant pour une récepteur kinase et une protéine kinase, présentent respectivement un et aucun EST chez le blé, bien que des EST aient été trouvés pour leur orthologues chez l’orge. Les EST des cinq gènes de la région HMW-GS sont soit définitivement associés à l’albumen ou proviennent possiblement de graines imbibées. Cela suggère que les quatre classes de gènes représentés au sein de cette région font partie d’un domaine de la chromatine qui est spécifique de la graine ou de l’albumen. Les banques d’EST ont également été employées pour déterminer l’abondance relative des EST pour toutes les classes de prolamines du blé. Ces analyses ont indiqué des niveaux différents d’expression tant parmi les lignées que parmi les trois génomes des blés hexaploïdes. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Conservation biologists often face the trade-off that increasing connectivity in fragmented landscapes to reduce extinction risk of native species can foster invasion by non-native species that enter via the corridors created, which can then increase extinction risk. This dilemma is acute for stream fishes, especially native salmonids, because their populations are frequently relegated to fragments of headwater habitat threatened by invasion from downstream by 3 cosmopolitan non-native salmonids. Managers often block these upstream invasions with movement barriers, but isolation of native salmonids in small headwater streams can increase the threat of local extinction. We propose a conceptual framework to address this worldwide problem that focuses on 4 main questions. First, are populations of conservation value present (considering evolutionary legacies, ecological functions, and socioeconomic benefits as distinct values)? Second, are populations vulnerable to invasion and displacement by non-native salmonids? Third, would these populations be threatened with local extinction if isolated with barriers? And, fourth, how should management be prioritized among multiple populations? We also developed a conceptual model of the joint trade-off of invasion and isolation threats that considers the opportunities for managers to make strategic decisions. We illustrated use of this framework in an analysis of the invasion-isolation trade-off for native cutthroat trout ( ) in 2 contrasting basins in western North America where invasion and isolation are either present and strong or farther away and apparently weak. These cases demonstrate that decisions to install or remove barriers to conserve native salmonids are often complex and depend on conservation values, environmental context (which influences the threat of invasion and isolation), and additional socioeconomic factors. Explicit analysis with tools such as those we propose can help managers make sound decisions in such complex circumstances. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Resumen:  Los biólogos de la conservación a menudo enfrentan el hecho de que el incremento de la conectividad en paisajes fragmentados para reducir el riesgo de extinción de especies nativas puede fomentar la invasión de especies no nativas que entran vía los corredores creados, lo cual también incrementa el riesgo de extinción. Este dilema es agudo para peces de arroyo, especialmente salmónidos nativos, porque sus poblaciones frecuentemente son relegadas a fragmentos de hábitat amenazado por invasión desde río debajo de tres salmónidos no nativos cosmopolitas. Los manejadores a menudo bloquean estas invasiones con barreras, pero el aislamiento de salmónidos nativos en arroyos pequeños puede incrementar el riesgo de extinción local. Proponemos un marco conceptual para abordar este problema mundial que enfoca cuatro preguntas principales. Primera, ¿hay presencia de especies de valor para la conservación (considerando legados evolutivos, funciones ecológicas y beneficios socioeconómicos como valores distintos)? Segunda, ¿las poblaciones son vulnerables a la invasión y desplazamiento por salmónidos no nativos? Tercera, ¿estarían amenazadas de extinción local estas poblaciones sí se aíslan con barreras? Y, cuarta, ¿cómo debe priorizarse el manejo entre múltiples poblaciones? También desarrollamos un modelo conceptual de los pros y contras de las amenazas de invasión y aislamiento que considera las oportunidades para que los manejadores tomen decisiones estratégicas. Ilustramos el uso de este marco en un análisis de la compensación invasión-aislamiento del salmón nativo Oncorhynchus clarkii en dos cuencas contrastantes en el occidente de América del Norte donde la invasión y el aislamiento están presentes y fuertes o lejanos y aparentemente débiles. Estos casos demuestran que las decisiones de instalar o remover barreras para conservar salmónidos nativos a menudo son complejas y dependen de valores de conservación, contexto ambiental (que influye en la amenaza de invasión y de aislamiento) y factores socioeconómicos. El análisis explícito con herramientas como las que proponemos puede ayudar a que los manejadores tomen decisiones sensatas en circunstancias tan complejas. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the United States, oxytetracycline (OTC) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in salmon, catfish and lobster; worldwide, it is the most prominent therapeutant in aquaculture. In this study, OTC and 4-epiOTC residues in salmon muscle were determined using a portable analyzer based on europium-sensitized luminescence (ESL). Extraction was performed first in EDTA/metaphosphoric acid/NaCl/hexane and then in metaphosphoric acid. After centrifugation, cleanup was carried out using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges. The ESL intensity, integrated over a 25-1000 µs interval, was linear (r2 = 0.9999) over three orders of magnitude. In comparison to xenon flashlamp, light-emitting diode (LED) excitation reduced background noise by sixfold to 6.4 ng g-1. Without prior chromatographic separation, this ESL method/instrument combination achieved 10.9 ng g-1 limit of detection and <2% average relative standard deviation. Average recovery was 82.0, 83.6 and 86.8% at 50, 100 and 2000 ng g-1, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vegetation features radiating from residential areas in response to livestock grazing were quantified for an arid steppe rangeland in the Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng Prefecture, in northeastern Inner Mongolia in 2004 and 2006. The aim of this study was to estimate grazing impacts on the vegetation dynamics of these historical grazed ecosystems. Grazing intensities were classified as reference area (RA), light (LG), moderate (MG), and heavy (HG) according to the vegetation utilization across the study area. Rangelands were studied along a grazing gradient, where characteristics of plant communities, heights of dominant species, aboveground vertical structures, and belowground biomass were investigated. Along this grazing gradient, vegetation changed from the original dominant plant species Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. to a semi-subshrub species Artemisia frigida Willd. when moving from the reference area (RA) to the region around the settlement. Canopy coverage, aboveground productivity, and the number of perennial species declined as one moved toward the residential area. Heights of five dominant species, except for Stipa grandis P. Smirn., declined with increased grazing intensity. Aboveground vertical structure in the RA treatment showed more resilience than the other treatments. There was no difference in root biomass in the top 1 m of soil (P.0.05) between the RA treatment and the area immediately around settlement (HG treatment). Generally, we found that the intensity of grazing disturbance did not exceed the tolerance of the rangeland ecosystem within LG treatment. However, vegetative conditions in HG treatment became worse with increased grazing pressure. Rangelands in this arid steppe are under tremendous threat due to excessive forage utilization, which cannot be considered a sustainable practice. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Las caractefisticas de la vegetación en áreas residenciales en respuesta al pastoreo de ganado fueron cuantificadas en un pastizal estepario árido en Keshiketeng Banner, del noreste de Mongolia en 2004 y 2006. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar los impactos del pastoreo en la dinámica de la vegetación de estos ecosistemas pastoreados históricamente. Las intensidades de pastoreo fueron clasificadas como un área de referencia (RA), ligero (LG), moderado (MG), y pesado (HG) según la utilización de la vegetación a través del área de estudio. Los pastizales fueron estudiados a lo largo de un gradiente del pastoreo, donde las caractefisticas de las comunidades de la planta, las alturas de las especies dominantes, sobre las estructuras verticales, y la biomasa subterránea se investigaron. A lo largo de este gradiente de pastoreo la vegetación cambió de la especie original dominante Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. a un Artemisia frígida Willd. en la medida que se movía del RA a la región hasta el establecimiento de (HG). La cobertura del follaje, la productividad aérea y el número de especies perennes disminuyeron con el movimiento hacia el área residencial. Las alturas de cinco especies dominantes, a excepción de los Stipa grandis P. Smirn. disminuyeron con incrementos en la intensidad d pastoreo. La estructura vertical aérea en el tratamiento RA presentó un modelo más resistente que los otros tratamientos. No se observaron diferencias (P > 0.05) en la biomasa de la raíz en a 1 m de la superficie del suelo entre RA y el área inmediatamente alrededor del establecimiento (tratamiento de pastoreo pesado). En general, se encontró que el disturbio debido a la intensidad del pastoreo no excedió la tolerancia del ecosistema del pastizal dentro del tratamiento LG. Sin embargo, las condiciones vegetativas en el tratamiento HG llegaron a ser pésimas con incrementos en la presión de pastoreo. Los pastizales de esta estepa árida están bajo enormes amenazas debido a la utilización excesiva del forraje que no pueden ser consideradas como prácticas sostenibles.

AB  - The 14-3-3 family of proteins are highly conserved signaling proteins in eukaryotes that bind to their client proteins, usually through specific phosphorylated target sequences. While the 14-3-3 proteins are thought to interact with a wide array of cellular proteins, there have been few studies addressing the in-vivo role of 14-3-3. As one approach to study this in-vivo role, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants constitutively overexpressing a directed mutant of 14-3-3 isoform ω that inhibits phosphorylated nitrate reductase (pNR) in a largely divalent-cation-independent manner in vitro. The transgenic plants had increased relative phosphorylation of NR at the regulatory Ser-534 site and decreased NR activity measured in the presence of 5 mmol·L–1 MgCl2 relative to nontransgenic plants. In addition, total NR protein was increased and the protein half-life was increased about two-fold. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis analysis of proteins extracted from leaves of plants expressing the mutant 14-3-3 identified numerous cellular proteins that were altered in abundance. In particular, several β-glucosidase and glutathione S-transferase isoforms were decreased in abundance relative to wild type plants suggesting a possible alteration in stress or defense responses. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les protéines 14-3-3 constituent des protéines de signalisation fortement conservées, chez les eucaryotes, qui se lient généralement à leurs protéines clientes par des séquences phosphorylées spécifiquement ciblées. Bien qu'on croit que les protéines 14-3-3 interagissent avec un large ensemble de protéines cellulaires, il existe quelques études sur le rôle in vitro des 14-3-3s. Comme approche à cette étude, les auteurs ont généré des plants d'Arabidopis transgénique surexprimant constitutivement un mutant dirigé de l'isoforme ω des 14-3-3, lequel inhibe la nitrate réductase phosphorylée (pNR) de façon largement indépendante de cations divalents in vitro. Les plantes transgéniques montrent une augmentation relative de la phosphorylation de la NR au site de régulation Ser-534 et diminuent l'activité de la NR mesurée en présence de MgCl2 5 mmol·L–1, par rapport aux plantes non transformées. De plus, on observe une augmentation de la protéine NR totale et la demi-vie des protéines est à peu près doublée. L'analyse électrophorétique des différences sur gel à deux dimensions des protéines extraites des feuilles des plantes exprimant le mutant 14-3-3, fait ressortir de nombreuses protéines cellulaires dont l'abondance est fortement altérée. En particulier, plusieurs isoformes des β-glucosidases et gluthation-S-transférases diminuent en abondance par rapport aux plantes de type sauvage, ce qui suggère une possible altération des réactions de défenses au stress.

AB  - A volume change index is suggested that is derived from growth components that can be estimated from remeasured plots. The new index incorporates more information than the traditional growth over removals ratio. The new index directly indicates whether the standing volume will be increasing or decreasing if current conditions persist, whereas the ratio of growth over removals obscures the impact of mortality. The details of estimating the components of growth are discussed with regard to interpreting the new index. The effect of spatial scale on the index is explored and a variance estimator is suggested. The new index is estimated from US Department of Agriculture Forest Service annual inventory data for two example applications. The first application looks at spatial trends in the index. The second application applies the index to a mill working circle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To investigate the interactions of Salmonella enterica with abiotic and plant surfaces and their effect on the tolerance of the pathogen to various stressors. Methods and Results:  Salmonella strains were tested for their ability to form biofilm in various growth media using a polystyrene plate model. Strong biofilm producers were found to attach better to intact Romaine lettuce leaf tissue compared to weak producers. Confocal microscopy and viable count studies revealed preferential attachment of Salmonella to cut-regions of the leaf after 2 h at 25°C, but not for 18 h at 4°C. Storage of intact lettuce pieces contaminated with Salmonella for 9 days at 4°C resulted only in small changes in population size. Exposure of lettuce-associated Salmonella cells to acidic conditions (pH 3·0) revealed increased tolerance of the attached vs planktonic bacteria. Conclusions:  Biofilm formation on polystyrene may provide a suitable model to predict the initial interaction of Salmonella with cut Romaine lettuce leaves. Association of the pathogen with lettuce leaves facilitates its persistence during storage and enhances its acid tolerance. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Understanding the interactions between foodborne pathogens and lettuce might be useful in developing new approaches to prevent fresh produce-associated outbreaks.

AB  - Environmental problems are generally complex and blind to disciplinary boundaries.  Efforts to devise long-term solutions require collaborative research that  integrates knowledge across historically disparate fields, yet the traditional  model for training new scientists emphasizes personal independence and disciplinary  focus. Growing awareness of the limitations of the traditional model has spurred a reexamination of graduate training in the environmental sciences. Many institutions  are implementing novel training approaches, with varying degrees of success.  In this article, a group of current and former doctoral students evaluates  our collective experience in one such program, the Biogeochemistry and  Environmental Biocomplexity Program at Cornell University, funded by an  Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship grant from the  National Science Foundation. We identify aspects of the program that  contributed to our integrative research training experience, and discuss  stumbling blocks that may arise in such programs. We conclude with  recommendations for students and faculty interested in facilitating cross-disciplinary interactions at their home institutions.  INSET: Box 1.

AB  - • The genetic control of carbon allocation and partitioning in woody perennial plants is poorly understood despite its importance for carbon sequestration, biofuels and other wood-based industries. It is also unclear how environmental cues, such as nitrogen availability, impact the genes that regulate growth, biomass allocation and wood composition in trees. • We phenotyped 396 clonally replicated genotypes of an interspecific pseudo-backcross pedigree of Populus for wood composition and biomass traits in above- and below-ground organs. The loci that regulate growth, carbon allocation and partitioning under two nitrogen conditions were identified, defining the contribution of environmental cues to their genetic control. • Sixty-three quantitative trait loci were identified for the 20 traits analyzed. The majority of quantitative trait loci are specific to one of the two nitrogen treatments, demonstrating significant nitrogen-dependent genetic control. A highly significant genetic correlation was observed between plant growth and lignin/cellulose composition, and quantitative trait loci co-localization identified the genomic position of potential pleiotropic regulators. • Pleiotropic loci linking higher growth rates to wood with less lignin are excellent targets to engineer tree germplasm improved for pulp, paper and cellulosic ethanol production. The causative genes are being identified with a genetical genomics approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper demonstrates how the density function of the U.S. domestic commodity support payments for corn differs between current price-based approaches to support and a revenue-based alternative. Comparing across program scenarios that provide equal expected levels of support at the national level, the revenue-based scenario exhibits a lower variability around total expected annual payments, and perhaps more importantly, a lower probability of high payments than the current-style support. Furthermore, for the vast majority of corn-producing counties in the United States, the coefficient of variation of total gross revenue per acre is lower under the revenue-based support scenario than under the current-style scenario.

AB  - We analyze growth and diversification of U.S. dairy farms by examining changes in ten size cohorts and new entrants through three successive censuses. We reject Gibrat's law and the mean reversion hypothesis of growth. Growth rates appear bimodal where the smallest and largest farm cohorts grow fastest. All cohorts diversify but the largest farms do not diversify as rapidly as medium-sized farms. New entrants are generally large, and they diversify more rapidly than comparably sized incumbents do. These data suggest that scale economies persist even for the largest cohort of U.S. dairy farms and scale economies dominate scope economies for large farms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Novel strains of rhamnolipid-producing bacteria were isolated from soils at a biodiesel facility on the basis of their ability to grow on glycerol as a sole carbon source. Strains were identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Enterobacter asburiae, Enterobacter hormaechei, Pantoea stewartii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The strains of the former five species were found to produce rhamnolipids in quantities the same as, or similar to, coisolated strains of P. aeruginosa. Measurements of surface tension revealed that that emulsifying properties of these strains were similar to levels displayed by rhamnolipids produced by P. aeruginosa. Results of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS analyses revealed that the predominant compounds made by all strains were C10–C10 mono- and dirhamnolipids. Notably, E. hormaechei and one strain of A. calcoaceticus produced rhamnolipids in amounts similar to the pseudomonads. As all strains examined were from the same taxonomic class of Proteobacteria, further examination of this group may reveal many additional species not previously known to produce rhamnolipids in addition to novel strains of species currently known to produce rhamnolipids.

AB  - Aims:  To determine the effect of sprinklers on faecal shedding of Escherichia coli ( E. coli) O157:H7 and Salmonella in lactating dairy cattle. Methods and Results:  Sprinklers were applied to lactating dairy cattle on two farms at either the feedbunk or in the holding pen prior to milking. Faecal samples were collected approx. 1 and 4 weeks following initiation of sprinkler treatments for culture of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Enterococcus. No treatment differences were observed for E. coli O157:H7. Salmonella was higher ( P = 0·11) in the control treatment on day-7 whereas on day-28, the bunk sprinklers increased the number of Salmonella positive cows. Salmonella prevalence decreased ( P = 0·0001) on day-5 and when examined across days in cows exposed to sprinklers prior to milking. Antimicrobial susceptibility screening found very few isolates that were multi-drug resistant. All Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin. Conclusions:  This study demonstrated a significant decrease in faecal prevalence of Salmonella in lactating cattle following exposure to sprinklers administered prior to milking. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Identification of current dairy management techniques that are also effective in reducing on-farm prevalence of pathogenic bacteria could have significant food safety and environmental implications.

AB  - Optimal distribution of cattle on forested rangelands has long been a subject of concern specifically related to uniform and sustainable use of forage resources. Our objective was to determine if cow age influenced distribution and resource use on forested rangelands. This study was conducted from 1991 to 2001 at the US Department of Agriculture Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, northeastern Oregon, a mixed-conifer forested rangeland. We used 43 039 locations of cattle taken from 1 h prior to sunrise until 4 h after sunrise and 4 h prior to sundown until 1 h after sundown from 15 July to 30 August to evaluate cattle distribution patterns during peak foraging time. Cattle were grouped into four age classes: 2- and 3-yr-old cattle, 4- and 5-yr-old cattle, 6- and 7- yr-old cattle, and cattle ≥ 8 yr old. All age classes preferred areas with gentler slopes (P < 0.05), westerly aspects (P < 0.05), farther from water (P < 0.05), and with greater forage production (P < 0.05) than pasture averages. Cattle older than 3 yr of age selected areas with less canopy closure (P < 0.05) than the mean value for the pasture. Young cows (< 4 yr old) selected lower elevations and steeper slopes than the oldest cows (P<0.05). In summary, cow age and correspondingly its experience directly influences distribution patterns and forage resource use of cattle at the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range.

AB  - La óptima distribución del ganado en pastoreo en pastizales con bosques ha sido una área de interés por mucho tiempo especialmente con respecto a una uniformidad y sustentabilidad del recurso forrajero. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar si la edad de las vacas afecta la distribución y el uso de los recursos en una zona de bosque. Este estudio fue llevado a cabo de 1991-2001 en el Noreste de Oregón en el USDA Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, en un pastizal mixto con coníferas. Utilizamos 43 039 sitios del ganado tomados 1 hora antes del amanecer hasta 4 horas después del amanecer y 4 horas antes de la puesta del sol hasta 1 hora después de la puesta del sol desde el 15 de Julio hasta Agosto 30 para evaluar los patrones de la distribución del pastoreo durante el tiempo máximo del pastoreo. El ganado se agrupó en 4 clases de edades: ganado de 2 y 3 años de edad, ganado de 4 y 5 años, ganado de 6 y 7 años y ganado de ≥ 8 años de edad. Todas las clases de ganado prefirieron áreas con pequeños lomeríos (P < 0.05), con orientación del oeste (P < 0.05), lejos del agua (P < 0.05), y con una producción mayur (P < 0.05), de forraje que el promedio del potrero. Ganado con más de 3 años de edad seleccionó áreas con una cobertura menos cerrada (P < 0.05), que el promedio del potrero. Las vacas jóvenes (< de 4 años de edad) seleccionaron áreas con elevaciones bajas y áreas con mayor pendientes que las vacas viejas (P < 0.05). En resumen la edad de las vacas y la experiencia afecta directamente los patrones de distribución y el uso del forraje en el Starkey Experimental Forest and Range. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Very large scale aerial (VLSA) photography is a remote sensing method, which is collected and analyzed more efficiently than ground-based measurement methods, but agreement with ground-based measurements needs to be quantified. In this study, agreement between ground- and image-measured cover and precision, and accuracy of image locations and scale, were assessed. True image locations were determined by georeferencing images and conducting a ground search. Accuracy and precision of planned, aircraft, and georeferenced locations were evaluated by comparison with true image locations. Shrub cover was measured at true image locations using ground-based line-intercept and on the image using point-intercept. Sagebrush (Artemisia spp. L.), antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata [Pursh] DC.), and spineless horsebrush (Tetradymia canescens DC.) were distinguished in the imagery. Agreement between ground- and image-based measurements was quantified using limit-of-agreement analysis. True ground locations of the VLSA images were within a 41-m radius of the aircraft location at the time of image acquisition, with 95% confidence. Using a panchromatic image from the QuickBird satellite (0.6-m pixel resolution) as a base map, 90% of true ground locations were within a 5-m radius of the location estimated from georeferencing the VLSA image to the base map. VLSA image-measured cover was, in general, unbiased with mean absolute differences between VLSA- and ground-based methods less than 1.3%. The degree of agreement and absence of bias between VLSA image-measured and ground-measured cover is sufficient to recommend using VLSA imagery to measure shrub cover.

AB  - Las imágenes aéreas a larga escala (VLSA) es una metodología de sensores remotos que se recolecta y analiza más eficientemente que las mediciones basadas en métodos terrestres, pero al igual, necesitan cuantificarse con las mediciones terrestres. En este estudio, la precisión, exactitud, localización y escala de la cobertura, medida con imágenes, se evaluó comparando con medidas de cobertura a nivel del suelo. La verdadera localización de la imagen se determinó con imágenes georeferenciadas y mediante búsquedas dirigidas en tierra. La exactitud y precisión de localizaciones aéreas y georeferencias se evaluaron por comparación con verdaderas localizaciones de imagen. La cobertura de arbustos se midió con localización de imágenes verdaderas, usando mediciones terrestres basadas en el método de intercepción de línea y con imágenes utilizando el punto de intercepción. Sagebrush (Artemisia spp, L.), antílope bitterbrush (Prussia tridentata [Pursh] DC.), y horsebrush sin espinas (Tetradymia canescens DC.) se identificaron en las imágenes, la concordancia entre medidas terrestres y de imagen aérea se cuantificaron utilizando el análisis de limite de concordancia. Las locaciones terrestres de las imágenes aéreas a larga escala (VLSA) estuvieron entre un radio de 41 metros de la localidad aérea al tiempo de adquisición de la imagen, con un 95% de confianza. Utilizando una imagen panorámica del satélite QuickBird (a una resolución de 0.6 mega píxeles) 90% de las localidades verdaderas estuvieron dentro de un radio de 5 metros de las ubicaciones gereferenciando la imagen de VLSA en el mapa base. Las mediciones de cobertura de las imágenes VLSA fueron en general no tendenciosas con una diferencia absoluta promedio entre las imágenes de VLSA y los métodos terrestres de 1.3% El grado de concordancia y la ausencia de tendencia entre las imágenes VLSA y las medidas terrestres de cobertura son satisfactorios para recomendar el uso de las imágenes VLSA para medir cobertura de arbustos.

AB  - Precipitation-use efficiency (PUE) is a key determinant of aboveground net primary production (ANPP). We used long-term datasets to contrast ANPP and PUE estimates between northern (southeast Montana) and southern (north Texas) mixed-grass prairies. Effects of varying amounts and temporal distribution of precipitation on PUE were examined at the Montana site, using a rainout shelter and irrigation. Results show that 1) ANPP was 21% less in Montana than Texas (188 g·m-2 vs. 237 g·m-2); 2) plant function type (PFT) composition varied between the two study locations, with cool-season perennial grasses (CSPG) dominating in Montana (52%) and warm-season perennial grasses (WSPG) dominating in Texas (47%); 3) production dynamics varied between the two sites with 90% of ANPP completed by 1 July in Montana as compared to 31 August in Texas; 4) average PUE estimates were greater in Montana (0.56 g dry matter·m-2·mm-1 of precipitation) than Texas (0.40 g·m-2·mm-1); and 5) contributions to PUE estimates varied among PFT and location, with CSPG estimates being greater in Montana than Texas (52% vs. 31%) and WSPG estimates being greater in Texas than Montana (47% vs. 27%). Seasonal droughts and supplemental irrigations at the Montana site substantially altered ANPP, PFT biomass composition, and PUE. Results show PUE was responsive to PFT composition relative to amount and seasonal distribution of precipitation. Therefore, one should expect changes in ANPP and PUE to occur with shifts in precipitation patterns until PFT composition becomes adjusted to the regime. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La eficiencia del uso de la precipitación (PUE) es una clave determinante de la producción primaria aérea neta (ANPP). Utilizamos una base de datos para contrastar estimaciones de ANPP y PUE entre (el suroeste de Montana) y el sur de los pastizales mixtos (norte de Texas). El efecto de la variación y la cantidad en la distribución temporal de la vegetación en PUE se examinaron en el sitio de Montana, utilizando un refugio para la lluvia e irrigación. Los resultados muestran que: 1) ANPP fue 21% menor en el sitio de Montana, que en el sitio de Texas (188 g·m-2 vs. 237 g·m-2); 2) la composición de los tipos funcionales de las plantas (PFT) varía entre las dos localidades, especies de gramíneas perenes de crecimiento de invierno (CSPG) dominaron en el sitio de Montana (52%) y gramíneas perenes de crecimiento de verano (WSPG) dominaron en el sitio de Texas (47%); 3) La dinámica de la producción varía entre los dos sitios con 90% de ANPP concluido para el 1 de Julio en Montana, comparado al 31 de Agosto en Texas; 4) el promedio de la estimación de PUE fue mayor en Montana (0.56 g de materia seca·m-2·mm-1 de precipitación) que en Texas (0.40 g·m-2·mm-1); y 5) las contribuciones a las estimaciones de PUE varían entre PFT y la del sitio, con una estimación CSPG mayor en Montana que en Texas (52% vs. 31%) y la estimación WSPG mayor en Texas que en Montana (47% vs. 27%). Las sequias estacional y la irrigación suplementaria en el sitio de Montana significativamente altera ANPP, la composición de la biomasa de PFT, y PUE. Estos resultados demuestran que PUE fue receptivo a la composición de PFT relativo a la cantidad y la distribución estacional de la precipitación. Por lo que uno debe esperar que ocurran cambios en ANPP y PUE con modificaciones en los patrones de la precipitación hasta que la composición de PFT se ajuste al sistema.

AB  - Piñon-juniper is a major vegetation type in western North America. Effective management of these ecosystems has been hindered by inadequate understanding of 1) the variability in ecosystem structure and ecological processes that exists among the diverse combinations of piñons, junipers, and associated shrubs, herbs, and soil organisms; 2) the prehistoric and historic disturbance regimes; and 3) the mechanisms driving changes in vegetation structure and composition during the past 150 yr. This article summarizes what we know (and don't know) about three fundamentally different kinds of piñon-juniper vegetation. Persistent woodlands are found where local soils, climate, and disturbance regimes are favorable for piñon, juniper, or a mix of both; fires have always been infrequent in these woodlands. Piñon-juniper savannas are found where local soils and climate are suitable for both trees and grasses; it is logical that low-severity fires may have maintained low tree densities before disruption of fire regimes following Euro-American settlement, but information is insufficient to support any confident statements about historical disturbance regimes in these savannas. Wooded shrublands are found where local soils and climate support a shrub community, but trees can increase during moist climatic conditions and periods without disturbance and decrease during droughts and following disturbance. Dramatic increases in tree density have occurred in portions of all three types of piñon-juniper vegetation, although equally dramatic mortality events have also occurred in some areas. The potential mechanisms driving increases in tree density--such as recovery from past disturbance, natural range expansion, livestock grazing, fire exclusion, climatic variability, and CO2 fertilization--generally have not received enough empirical or experimental investigation to predict which is most important in any given location. The intent of this synthesis is 1) to provide a source of information for managers and policy makers; and 2) to stimulate researchers to address the most important unanswered questions.

AB  - La vegetación de Piñon-junípero es un tipo de vegetación muy importante en el Oeste de Norte América. El manejo efectivo de estos ecosistemas se ha obstaculizado por el inadecuado entendimiento de 1) la variabilidad en la estructura del ecosistema y los procesos ecológicos que existen entre las diversas combinaciones de pinos, juníperos, arbustos, hierbas, y los organismos asociados del suelo; 2) regímenes prehistóricos e históricos del disturbio, y 3) mecanismos que conducen cambios en estructura y composición de la vegetación durante los últimos 150 años. Este publicación hace un resumen de lo que sabemos (y no sabemos) acerca de tres clases fundamentales de vegetación del piñon-junipero. Arbolados persistentes se encuentran donde los suelos locales, el clima, y los regímenes del disturbio son favorables para el piñón, el junípero, o una mezcla de ambos; los fuegos han sido siempre infrecuentes en estas áreas. Las sabanas del Piñon-junipero se encuentran donde los suelos locales y el clima son apropiados tanto para árboles y gramíneas; es lógico que los fuegos de baja-intensidad pueden haber mantenido densidades bajas de árboles antes de que se interrumpió los regímenes del fuego después del establecimiento Euro-Americano, pero existe poca información para apoyar cualquier afirmación afirmativa sobre los regímenes históricos del disturbio en estas sabanas. Los matorrales se localizan donde los suelos locales y el clima apoyan a comunidad de arbustos, pero los árboles pueden aumentar durante condiciones climáticas y períodos húmedos sin disturbio, y disminuyen durante sequías y después del disturbio. Los aumentos dramáticos en la densidad de los árboles han ocurrido en las porciones de los tres tipos de vegetación del piñon-junipero, aunque eventos igualmente dramáticos de mortalidad han ocurrido también en algunas áreas. Los mecanismos potenciales que conducen aumentos en densidad de árboles, la recuperación del último disturbio, la extensión natural del pastizal, el pastoreo del ganado, la exclusión del fuego, la variabilidad climática, y la fertilización-general del CO2 no han recibido suficiente investigación empírica o experimental para predecir cuál de estos factores puede ser el más importante en cualquiera de los sitios. El intento de esta síntesis es 1) proporcionar una fuente de información para los manejadores y los regidores, y 2) estimular a investigadores para dirigir las preguntas más importantes que aun están sin contestar.

AB  - A study was conducted to evaluate effects of nitrocompounds on growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, nitrogen retention, and microbial community in laying hen manure. There were three treatments: control, 100 mM nitropropanol (NPL), and 100 mM nitropropionic acid (NPC). The mixed laying hen manure was divided into 3 groups and incubated at 23°C for 7 days. On Days 0, 3, and 7, samples were collected to measure the quantity of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, total nitrogen retention, and microbial community changes. Both nitrocompounds significantly reduced growth of the uric acid-utilizing microorganisms on Day 3 (P < 0.05). Inhibitory effects of both nitrocompounds remained until Day 7 when the experiment was terminated. NPL treatment retained significantly more manure nitrogen compared to the control on both Days 3 and 7. Manure nitrogen levels of NPC treatment were also significantly higher than the control on Day 7. We further investigated the effects of NPL and NPC on microbial community changes during a 7-day incubation. NPC treatment and control on Day 7 exhibited 94% community similarity. NPC on Day 3 and NPL on Day 7 also showed high community similarity (approximately 94%). Control on Day 0 and Day 7 yielded less than 80% community similarity. Control and NPL treatment groups on Day 3 gave the lowest community similarity (approximately 64%) compared to the other groups. This result indicated that incubation time and treatment moderately influenced microbial community changes. In summary, these results indicate that both nitrocompounds increased manure nitrogen retention by inhibiting the growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, and that NPL and NPC could be used as manure treatments in order to reduce ammonia volatilization and nitrogen retention in poultry manure. Moreover, nitrocompounds may have potential as feed additives to reduce ammonia volatilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Delineating the factors that orchestrate keratinocyte growth and differentiation in the claw is pivotal to understanding the quality of hoof horn production in health and disease. The specific objectives of this investigation were to establish an in vitro culture system for bovine coronary region keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, determine the colony-forming capacity of epidermal keratinocytes in the coronary region, and characterize transcriptional changes in specific cytokine, growth factor, and receptor genes during colony formation in coculture. Fibroblasts and keratinocytes from the coronary region of the lateral, hind limb claw were collected, and 5.0 × 103 and 7.5 × 103 keratinocytes were cultured in the presence or absence of fibroblast monolayers, respectively. The 2 densities of keratinocytes formed 144 ± 15.8 and 183 ± 26.9 colonies, respectively, in the presence of dermal fibroblasts, whereas no colonies developed in the absence of dermal fibroblasts. Keratinocytes with the ability to show colony formation comprised 1.09% ± 0.16 to 1.77% ± 0.28 of the keratinocyte population isolated from the coronary region. Keratinocyte-fibroblast cocultures developed a time-dependent increased expression of several growth factors, cytokines, and receptors. These findings demonstrated that keratinocytes from the bovine coronary region formed colonies in vitro and that colony formation occurred with an absolute dependence on dermal fibroblasts. Colony growth was associated with increased transcriptional expression of cytokine, growth factor, and receptor expression known to drive keratinocyte colony formation in other species. The results indicate that horn-producing keratinocytes must interact with dermal fibroblasts during normal tissue homeostasis in the bovine claw. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal prion disease of deer and elk that continues to emerge in new locations. To explore the means by which prions are transmitted with high efficiency among cervids, we examined prion infectivity in the apical skin layer covering the growing antler (antler velvet) by using CWD-susceptible transgenic mice and protein misfolding cyclic amplification. Our finding of prions in antler velvet of CWD-affected elk suggests that this tissue may play a role in disease transmission among cervids. Humans who consume antler velvet as a nutritional supplement are at risk for exposure to prions. The fact that CWD prion incubation times in transgenic mice expressing elk prion protein are consistently more rapid raises the possibility that residue 226, the sole primary structural difference between deer and elk prion protein, may be a major determinant of CWD pathogenesis.

AB  - The efficacy of replacing fish meal with petfood-grade poultry by-product meal (PBM) on an ideal protein basis in commercial diets for hybrid striped bass (HSB) was evaluated under production conditions in pond culture. A generic production diet (GEN) for HSB was formulated to contain 45% protein, 12% lipid, and 3.7 kcal/kg. Protein in the generic diet was supplied by a mix of animal and plant sources typically used by the industry that included more than 20% select menhaden fish meal and less than 10% PBM. A positive control diet (GEN + AA) was formulated by supplementing the generic diet with feed-grade Met and Lys to match the level of those amino acids in HSB muscle at 40% digestible protein. Substitution diets were formulated by replacing 35, 70, or 100% of fish meal in the GEN diet with PBM on a digestible protein basis and then supplementing with Met and Lys (designated 35PBM, 70PBM, and 100PBM, respectively) as needed to maintain concentrations equal to those in the GEN + AA diet. Diet formulation and extrusion were conducted by a commercial mill, and all diets met or exceeded known nutritional requirements for HSB. Twenty 0.10-ha ponds (4 ponds/diet) were randomly stocked with juvenile HSB (76 ± 10 g; mean ± SD) at a density of 7400/ha and fed for 600 d (October 2004 to May 2006). Diets were fed once daily to apparent satiation to a maximum of 95 kg feed/ha. Total weight and number of fish in each pond were determined at harvest. Weight distributions in each pond were estimated by selecting every 15th fish during harvest. Subsets of ten fish from each of these samples were selected randomly for the determination of body composition and nutrient and energy retention. The availability of indispensable amino acids as well as ammonia production from the commercial test diets were determined in separate tank trials. Most production characteristics were not statistically different ( P > 0.10) among dietary treatments. Distributions of individual fish weights from each of the ponds were not affected by poultry by-product level in the diet. Multivariate analysis of body compositional indices grouped diets into two clusters composed of GEN, GEN + AA, 35PBM vs. 70PBM, and 100PBM mainly because fish fed the 70PBM and 100PBM diets had greater ( P = 0.001) body fat (visceral somatic indices) than fish fed the other diets. Ammonia production in tanks was not different among diets and peaked 6–8 h after feeding when fish were fed at 1.5% of body weight; ammonia-N excretion ranged from 197 to 212 mg/kg/d and 18.5–21.5% of nitrogen intake. Some imbalances in the levels and ratios of selected amino acids to Lys were found in the diets containing higher amounts of PBM and were attributed to a lack of accurate availability coefficients during formulation for some dietary proteins. These imbalances in essential amino acids may have been the predominant factor in the somewhat fattier fish observed fed diets containing the two highest levels of PBM. Nevertheless, these results from fish stocked at commercial densities and raised to market size in ponds suggest that formulating diets on an available amino acid basis for all protein sources while balancing limiting amino acids, particularly Met, Lys, Thr, and Trp, on an ideal protein basis will yield significant improvements in HSB performance when fed commercial diets in which all fish meal is replaced with PBM.

AB  - The present study investigated the cultivable mesophilic (37°C) and thermophilic (60°C) cellulose-degrading bacterial diversity in a weathered soil-like sample collected from the deep subsurface (1.5 km depth) of the Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, USA. Chemical characterization of the sample by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy revealed a high amount of toxic heavy metals such as Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn. Molecular community structures were determined by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences retrieved from enrichment cultures growing in presence of microcrystalline cellulose as the sole source of carbon. All phylotypes retrieved from enrichment cultures were affiliated to Firmicutes. Cellulose-degrading mesophilic and thermophilic pure cultures belonging to the genera Brevibacillus, Paenibacillus, Bacillus, and Geobacillus were isolated from enrichment cultures, and selected cultures were studied for enzyme activities. For a mesophilic isolate (DUSELG12), the optimum pH and temperature for carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) were 5.5 and 55°C, while for a thermophilic isolate (DUSELR7) they were 5.0 and 75°C, respectively. Furthermore, DUSELG12 retained about 40% CMCase activity after incubation at 60°C for 8 h. Most remarkably, thermophilic isolate, DUSELR7 retained 26% CMCase activity at 60°C up to a period of 300 h. Overall, the present work revealed the presence of different cellulose-degrading bacterial lineages in the unique deep subsurface environment of the mine. The results also have strong implications for biological conversion of cellulosic agricultural and forestry wastes to commodity chemicals including sugars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) has one of the largest mitochondrial genomes known among all eukaryotes, due in part to the accumulation of short 20 to 60 bp repetitive DNA motifs. Recombination among these repetitive DNAs produces rearrangements affecting organization and expression of mitochondrial genes. To more efficiently identify rearrangements in the cucumber mitochondrial DNA, we built two nonoverlapping 800 and 220 kb BAC contigs and assigned major mitochondrial genes to these BACs. Polymorphism carried on the largest BAC contig was used to confirm paternal transmission. Mitochondrial genes were distributed across BACs and physically distant, although occasional clustering was observed. Introns in the nad1, nad4, and nad7 genes were larger than those reported in other plants, due in part to accumulation of short repetitive DNAs and indicating that increased intron sizes contributed to mitochondrial genome expansion in cucumber. Mitochondrial genes atp6 and atp9 are physically close to each other and cotranscribed. These physical contigs will be useful for eventual sequencing of the cucumber mitochondrial DNA, which can be exploited to more efficiently screen for unique rearrangements affecting mitochondrial gene expression.

AB  - Le concombre (Cucumis sativus) possède l’un des plus grands génomes mitochondriaux chez les eucaryotes en raison, en partie, d’une accumulation de courts motifs répétitifs d’ADN de 20 à 60 pb. La recombinaison entre ces séquences répétées produit des réarrangements qui affectent l’organisation et l’expression des gènes mitochondriaux. Afin d’identifier plus efficacement les réarrangements au sein de l’ADN mitochondrial du concombre, les auteurs ont assemblé deux contigs totalisant 800 et 220 kb de clones BAC sans chevauchements et ont assigné les principaux gènes mitochondriaux à ces BAC. Le polymorphisme présent sur le plus grand contig BAC a été employé pour en confirmer la transmission paternelle. Les gènes mitochondriaux étaient distribués sur les BAC et séparés d’une grande distance physique, bien que quelques groupements aient été observés. Les introns dans les gènes nad1, nad4 et nad7 étaient plus grands que leurs homologues chez d’autres plantes en raison, en partie, de l’accumulation de courts motifs répétés d’ADN, ce qui indique que des introns de taille accrue ont contribué à l’expansion du génome mitochondrial chez le concombre. Les gènes mitochondriaux atp6 et atp9 sont physiquement proches l’un de l’autre et co-transcrits. Ces contigs physiques seront utiles en vue du séquençage de l’ADN mitochondrial du concombre qu’il serait possible d’exploiter pour identifier efficacement des réarrangements uniques affectant l’expression de gènes mitochondriaux.

AB  - Despite the availability of several protocols for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids from foliage of forest trees, information regarding their respective extraction efficiencies is scarce. We compared the efficiencies of acetone, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) over a range of incubation times for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids using small amounts of unmacerated tissue. Of the 11 species studied, comparable amounts of chlorophyll were extracted by all four solvents from three species and by ethanol and DMF from nine species. In four species, acetone, ethanol, and DMF extracted comparable chlorophyll amounts, while in another two species comparable amounts were extracted by ethanol, DMSO, and DMF. In one species, ethanol extracted significantly greater amounts of chlorophyll compared with all other solvents. The brown coloration of DMSO extracts for some species compromised the calculations of chlorophylls and carotenoids, making DMSO a poor choice. Overall, extraction efficiencies of ethanol and DMF were comparable for analyzing chlorophyll concentrations. However, because DMF is more toxic than ethanol, we recommend ethanol as the better option of these two for chlorophyll extractions. On the other hand, DMF is the most efficient solvent among the four tested for the extraction of carotenoids from these species. The results presented will facilitate the design of multispecies local- and regional-scale ecological studies to evaluate forest health. Additionally, they will enable reliable comparisons of results from multiple laboratories and (or) studies that used different solvents and help validate chlorophyll estimates obtained by remote sensing. Bien qu’il existe plusieurs protocoles pour extraire la chlorophylle et les caroténoïdes du feuillage des arbres forestiers, les informations concernant leur efficacité relative sont rares. Nous avons comparé l’efficacité de l’acétone, de l’éthanol, du diméthylsulfoxyde (DMSO) et du N, N-diméthylformamide (DMF) en utilisant différentes périodes d’incubation pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle et des caroténoïdes à partir de tissus non macérés. Parmi les 11 espèces étudiées, des quantités comparables de chlorophylle ont été extraites avec les quatre solvants chez trois espèces et avec l’éthanol et le DMF chez neuf espèces. Chez quatre espèces, l’acétone, l’éthanol et le DMF ont extrait des quantités comparables de chlorophylle tandis que chez deux autres espèces, c’était l’éthanol, le DMSO et le DMF. Chez une espèce, l’éthanol a extrait des quantités significativement plus élevées de chlorophylle que les autres solvants. Chez certaines espèces le DMSO n’est pas la meilleure option parce que la coloration brune des extraits compromet l’exactitude du calcul des quantités de chlorophylle et de caroténoïdes. Entre deux options comparables pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle chez la plupart des espèces, nous recommandons l’éthanol plutôt que le DMF à cause de la toxicité de ce dernier. Cependant, le DMF est le seul solvant qui peut efficacement extraire les caroténoïdes chez ces espèces. Les données présentées dans cette étude vont faciliter la conception des études écologiques qui comportent plusieurs espèces pour évaluer l’état de santé de la forêt. De plus, elles vont permettre de faire des comparaisons fiables entre les résultats provenant de plusieurs laboratoires ou études qui utilisent différents solvants et aider à valider les estimations de la chlorophylle obtenues par télédétection.

AB  - Aim The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) mushroom family Inocybaceae is widespread in north temperate regions, but more than 150 species are encountered in the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere. The relative roles of recent and ancient biogeographical processes, relationships with plant hosts, and the timing of divergences that have shaped the current geographic distribution of the family are investigated. Location Africa, Australia, Neotropics, New Zealand, north temperate zone, Palaeotropics, Southeast Asia, South America, south temperate zone. Methods We reconstruct a phylogeny of the Inocybaceae with a geological timeline using a relaxed molecular clock. Divergence dates of lineages are estimated statistically to test vicariance-based hypotheses concerning relatedness of disjunct ECM taxa. A series of internal maximum time constraints is used to evaluate two different calibrations. Ancestral state reconstruction is used to infer ancestral areas and ancestral plant partners of the family. Results The Palaeotropics are unique in containing representatives of all major clades of Inocybaceae. Six of the seven major clades diversified initially during the Cretaceous, with subsequent radiations probably during the early Palaeogene. Vicariance patterns cannot be rejected that involve area relationships for Africa–Australia, Africa–India and southern South America–Australia. Northern and southern South America, Australia and New Zealand are primarily the recipients of immigrant taxa during the Palaeogene or later. Angiosperms were the earliest hosts of Inocybaceae. Transitions to conifers probably occurred no earlier than 65 Ma. Main conclusions The Inocybaceae initially diversified no later than the Cretaceous in Palaeotropical settings, in association with angiosperms. Diversification within major clades of the family accelerated during the Palaeogene in north and south temperate regions, whereas several relictual lineages persisted in the tropics. Both vicariance and dispersal patterns are detected. Species from Neotropical and south temperate regions are largely derived from immigrant ancestors from north temperate or Palaeotropical regions. Transitions to conifer hosts occurred later, probably during the Palaeogene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Belowground plant biomass plays a critical role in the maintenance of riparian ecosystems and generally constitutes the majority of the total biomass on a site. Despite this importance, belowground dynamics of riparian plant species are not commonly investigated, in part because of difficulties of sampling in a belowground riparian environment. We investigated the field utility of a root-ingrowth sampling technique for measuring root production. We established four streamside sampling sites in southeastern Oregon, and randomly located four plots within each site. In each plot we established two 7.6-cm--diameter sand-filled ingrowth cores in September of 2004. In September of 2005 we harvested the cores with the use of a vacuum sampling technique in which a 5.1-cm--diameter camphored polyvinyl chloride casing was driven into the center of the root core and sand and root materials were suctioned out. Root-length density was determined by computer image analysis, and roots were dried and weighed to determine production by weight. Results indicate that root-length density averaged 7.2 (±0.7) cm · cm-3 across sites and root-production index was 356.7 (±20.6) g · m-2. Our index to root production by weight was consistent with previous estimates of annual root production reported in the literature. Our sampling technique proved to be a practical solution for root sampling in riparian environments, and helps overcome some of the difficulties in sequential coring of saturated soils. Use of any ingrowth core technique to index root production can potentially bias production estimates because of the artificial, root-free environment of the core. However, these biases should be consistent across sites, making ingrowth cores useful for determining differences between manipulative treatments. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A pesar de esta importancia, las dinámicas debajo del suelo de las especies de plantas rivereñas, normalmente no se investigan, en parte por las dificultades de muestreo bajo el suelo en un ambiente rivereño. Investigamos la utilidad de campo de una técnica de muestreo de crecimiento de raíz para medir la producción de la misma. Establecimos cuatro sitios de muestreo a la orilla del torrente al sureste de Oregón, con cuatro parcelas al azar en cada sitio. En cada parcela establecimos dos núcleos de crecimiento de 7.6 cm de diámetro rellenos de arena en septiembre del 2004. En septiembre del 2005 cosechamos los núcleos utilizando una técnica de muestreo al vacio donde una cubierta de PVC de 5.1 cm de diámetro se introdujo en el centro de núcleo de la raíz, y la arena y los materiales de la raíz se succionaron hacia afuera. La densidad de la longitud de la raíz se determinó por análisis de imagen computacional. Además, las raíces se secaron y pesaron para determinar la producción por medio del peso. Los resultados indican que la densidad de la longitud de la raíz promedió 7.2 (± 0.7) cm- cm³ a través de los sitios y el índice de producción de la raíz fue 356.7 (± 20.6) g · m² Nuestro índice de producción de raíz por peso fue consistente con previas estimaciones de producción anual de raíces reportadas en la literatura. Nuestra técnica de muestreo probó ser una solución práctica para muestreo de raíz en ambientes rivereños y ayudó a vencer algunas de las dificultades en secuencias básicas de suelos saturados. El uso de cualquier técnica de núcleo creciente para el índice de producción de raíz puede potencialmente perjudicar las estimaciones de producción debido al ambiente artificial libre de raíces del núcleo. Sin embargo, esas tendencias deben ser consistentes a través de los sitios, haciendo que los núcleos de crecimiento sean útiles para determinar las diferencias entre tratamientos manipulativos.

AB  - Domestic livestock have the potential to function as ecosystem engineers in semiarid rangelands, but prevailing management practices largely emphasize livestock production and uniform use of vegetation. As a result, variation in vegetation structure might not occur at appropriate spatial and temporal scales to achieve some contemporary conservation objectives. Here, we introduce the utility of livestock as ecosystem engineers and address potential benefits and consequences associated with heterogeneity-based management practices for conservation grazing in the semiarid rangelands of the western North American Great Plains. To illustrate the potential value of this approach, we provide specific examples where engineering effects of livestock could alter vegetation heterogeneity at within-pasture (<100 ha) and among-pasture (~100 ha to thousands of hectares) scales to improve habitat for declining native grassland birds. Experimental evaluations of the efficacy of livestock to achieve desired modifications to vegetation structure are needed, along with the economic aspects associated with implementing heterogeneity-based management practices. Using livestock as ecosystem engineers to alter vegetation structure for grassland bird habitat is feasible in terms of application by land managers within the context of current livestock operations, and provides land managers important tools to achieve desired contemporary objectives and outcomes in semiarid rangelands of the western North American Great Plains.

AB  - El ganado domestico tiene el potencial de funcionar como ingeniero de los ecosistemas en los pastizales semiáridos, pero las practicas de manejo que existen principalmente se enfocan en la producción ganadera y el uso uniforme de la vegetación. Como resultado, la variación en la estructura de la vegetación puede no darse apropiadamente a escalas espaciales y temporales para llevar a cabo objetivos de conservación contemporáneos. Aquí, presentamos la utilidad del ganado como ingeniero de ecosistemas y en los beneficios y las consecuencias de la heterogeneidad basada en las prácticas de manejo para la conservación del pastoreo en los pastizales de las zonas semiáridas en el Oeste de las grandes planicies de Norte América. Para ilustrar el valor potencial de este método, proporcionamos ejemplos específicos donde los efectos de ingeniería del ganado domestico pueden alterar la heterogeneidad de la vegetación a escalas dentro (< 100 ha) y entre los potreros (~100-1 000 s ha) para mejorar el hábitat de pastizales nativos que están disminuyendo para las aves. Evaluaciones experimentales de la eficiencia del ganado en la estructura de la vegetación son necesarias, de la misma manera los aspectos económicos asociados con la implementación de la practicas de manejo usadas para la heterogeneidad. El utilizar ganado como ingeniero de los ecosistemas para alterar la estructura de la vegetación para las aves del pastizal es posible en términos de aplicación por los manejadores de las tierras dentro del contexto de las actuales operaciones de ganado, permitiendo darles a los manejadores las herramientas para llevar a cabo los objetivos contemporáneos y resultados en los pastizales semiáridos de las grandes planicies de América del norte.

AB  - Blood and milk concentrations of the acute phase protein lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) were evaluated in cows with naturally occurring mastitis. Blood and milk samples were collected from 101 clinically healthy dairy cows and 17 dairy cows diagnosed with clinical mastitis, and the LBP concentrations of the samples were measured by an ELISA. Concentrations of LBP were greater in the blood and milk of cows with clinical mastitis than in those with healthy quarters. Concentrations of LBP also differed between uninfected and subclinically infected quarters with low somatic cell count. Blood concentrations of LBP in cows with subclinical intramammary infections could not be differentiated from those of cows with all healthy quarters. Together, these data demonstrate that increased blood and milk concentrations of LBP can be detected in dairy cows with naturally acquired intramammary infections that cause clinical mastitis.

AB  - While soil application of a competitive non-toxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains is successful in reducing aflatoxin contamination in certain crops, direct application to aerial reproductive structures could be more effective for maize. A sprayable, clay-based water-dispersible granule formulation was developed to deliver non-toxigenic A. flavus strain K49 directly to maize ears. The efficacy of the K49 water-dispersible granule in mitigating aflatoxin in maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated. Field studies were conducted to compare K49 colonization and effectiveness in reducing aflatoxin contamination when applied either as a soil inoculant or as a directed spray in plots infested with toxigenic strain F3W4. Fifty percent of non-toxigenic A. flavus was recovered from non-treated controls and from plots soil inoculated with K49 on wheat. In spray treatments with formulated or unformulated K49 conidia, over 90% of A. flavus recovered was non-toxigenic. Soil-applied K49 reduced aflatoxin contamination by 65% and spray applications reduced contamination by 97%. These findings suggest direct spray application of non-toxigenic A. flavus strains may be better than soil inoculation at controlling maize aflatoxin contamination and that a water-dispersible granule is a viable delivery system for maintaining viability and efficacy of the biological control agent, K49.

AB  - Sap flow sensors are uniquely able to continuously monitor whole tree physiology. Recently, Burgess and Dawson (Burgess SSO, Dawson TE, Plant Soil 305:5–13, 2008) urged caution in using sap flow probes to estimate water storage use in trees. Here we respond to three criticisms raised there: (1) Sampling: that tree water storage, estimated from branch-bole sap flow lags, was compromised by unaccounted variation in branch position and orientation; (2) Instrumentation: that sap flow sensor response times may be sensor artefacts rather than manifestations of tree water storage; and (3) Theory: that tree water storage estimates are based on a faulty concept of lag phenomena in sap flow that persists in the literature. We agree with the need for caution in sap flow-based estimates of plant water storage, but here correct flaws in arguments and representations of studies presented in Burgess and Dawson (Burgess SSO, Dawson TE, Plant Soil 305:5–13, 2008).

AB  - Knowledge of the inheritance of C-glycosyl flavone synthesis in maize (Zea mays L.) silk tissues has been acquired through detailed genetic studies involving primarily germplasm from the Corn Belt Dent race. To test the robustness of this genetic knowledge, we examined C-glycosyl flavone synthesis in a genetically distinct germplasm pool, popcorn. C-glycosyl flavone profiles and levels and the involvement of three specific genes/quantitative trait loci (p, pr1, and sm1) in C-glycosyl flavone synthesis were examined in popcorn germplasm representing at least two races and various diverse geographic regions. Twenty-four inbred lines and 23 hybrids involving these inbred lines and inbred line R17 were characterized for their flavone profiles and levels in silk tissues. Two F2 mapping populations were constructed to examine the involvement of p, pr1, and sm1 on C-glycosyl flavone synthesis. C-glycosyl flavone levels threefold higher than previously reported in Corn Dent Belt materials and a novel class of compounds were discovered. The gene action of sm1 was different, the functional p allele was not always dominant, and pr1 did not affect maysin synthesis. Based on this rather simplistic “model” quantitative trait, it appears that caution should be exercised when attempting to apply quantitative trait locus knowledge accumulated in one germplasm base to a germplasm base that is known to be distinctly unique. Les connaissances sur l’hérédité de la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées dans les soies chez le maïs (Zea mays L.) ont été acquises via des études génétiques détaillées principalement chez le maïs denté du Corn Belt américain. Afin de vérifier la robustesse de ces connaissances génétiques, les auteurs ont étudié la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées au sein d’un groupe différent de ressources génétiques, le maïs à éclater. Les profils et teneurs en flavones C-glycosylées ont été déterminés chez des ressources génétiques (p, pr1, and sm1) représentant au moins deux races et diverses régions géographiques pour le maïs à éclater. Vingt-quatre lignées fixées et 23 hybrides dérivés de ces lignées fixées et de la lignée fixée R17 ont été caractérisées pour leurs teneurs et profils en flavones C-glycosylées dans les soies. Deux populations de cartographie F2 ont été produites pour examiner l’implication des gènes p, pr1, et sm1 sur la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées. Des niveaux de flavones C-glycosylées trois fois plus élevés que ce qui a été rapporté chez les maïs denté du Corn Belt, ainsi qu’une nouvelle classe de composés ont été trouvés. L’action du gène sm1 était différente; l’allèle fonctionnel du gène p n’était pas toujours dominant; et le gène pr1 n’affectait pas la synthèse de la maïsine. Sur la base de ce modèle plutôt simpliste d’un caractère quantitatif « modèle », il semblerait que la prudence est de mise lorsqu’on tente d’étendre les connaissances acquises au sein d’un type de ressources génétiques à un autre qui est connu pour être distinct.

AB  - The genus Alyssum contains >50 Ni hyperaccumulator species; many can achieve >2.5% Ni in dry leaf. In soils with normal Mn levels, Alyssum trichome bases were previously observed to accumulate Ni and Mn to high levels. Here we report concentration and localization patterns in A. murale and A. corsicum grown in soils with nonphytotoxic factorial additions of Ni and Mn salts. Four leaf type subsets based on size and age accumulated Ni and Mn similarly. The greatest Mn accumulation (10 times control) was observed in A. corsicum with 40 mmol Mn kg−1 and 40 mmol Ni kg−1 added to potting soil. Whole leaf Ni concentrations decreased as Mn increased. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence mapping of whole fresh leaves showed localized in distinct high-concentration Mn spots associated with trichomes, Ni and Mn distributions were strongly spatially correlated. Standard X-ray fluorescence point analysis/mapping of cryofractured and freeze-dried samples found that Ni and Mn were co-located and strongly concentrated only in trichome bases and in cells adjacent to trichomes. Nickel concentration was also strongly spatially correlated with sulfur. Results indicate that maximum Ni phytoextraction by Alyssum may be reduced in soils with higher phytoavailable Mn, and suggest that Ni hyperaccumulation in Alyssum species may have developed from a Mn handling system.

AB  - Thirty-two individuals representing coastal and inland populations of steelhead and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) were sequenced at 18 expressed sequence tags and nine microsatellite loci to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms. A total of 98 polymorphisms were discovered during the screen and 22 were developed into 5′ exonuclease assays (Taqman assays). Genotypes from TaqMan assays were compared to sequence data from individuals in the ascertainment panel to confirm proper allele designations. A larger number of samples ( n = 192) from six regions were tested with the validated assays. Per-locus FST values ranged from 0.001 to 0.414. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective To develop a scientifically based childhood obesity prevention program supporting child eating self-regulation and taste preferences. This article describes the research methods for the Strategies for Effective Eating Development program. A logic model is provided that depicts a visual presentation of the activities that will be used to guide the development of the prevention program. Design Randomized, controlled prevention program, pretest, posttest, 6 months, and 12 months. Setting Two sites: Houston, TX and Pasco, WA. Each trial will last 7 weeks with 8–10 mother–child dyads in each arm (prevention and control). Participants Recruitment at Head Start districts (Texas; n = 160) and Inspire Child Development Center including Early Childhood Education and Head Start (Washington; n = 160). Sixteen trials with 16–20 parent–child dyads per trial will provide adequate power to detect moderate effects. Intervention Multicomponent family-based prevention program incorporating a dialogue approach to adult learning and self-determination theory. Main Outcome Measures Child assessments will include observed taste preferences, caloric compensation, and eating in the absence of hunger. Parent assessments will include parent-reported feeding, feeding emotions, acculturation, child eating behaviors, child food preferences, and child dietary intake. Heights and weights will be measured for parent and child. Analysis A multilevel growth modeling analysis will be employed to consider the nested nature of the data: time points (level 1) within families (level 2) within trials (level 3).

AB  - Although several per cent of net carbon assimilation can be re-released as isoprene emissions to the atmosphere by many tropical plants, much uncertainty remains regarding its biological significance. In a previous study, we detected emissions of isoprene and its oxidation products methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR) from tropical plants under high temperature/light stress, suggesting that isoprene is oxidized not only in the atmosphere but also within plants. However, a comprehensive analysis of the suite of isoprene oxidation products in plants has not been performed and production relationships with environmental stress have not been described. In this study, putative isoprene oxidation products from mango (Mangifera indica) branches under abiotic stress were first identified. High temperature/light and freeze–thaw treatments verified direct emissions of the isoprene oxidation products MVK and MACR together with the first observations of 3-methyl furan (3-MF) and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) as putative novel isoprene oxidation products. Mechanical wounding also stimulated emissions of MVK and MACR. Photosynthesis under 13CO2 resulted in rapid (<30min) labelling of up to five carbon atoms of isoprene, with a similar labelling pattern observed in the putative oxidation products. These observations highlight the need to investigate further the mechanisms of isoprene oxidation within plants under stress and its biological and atmospheric significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The present article articulates principles for effective public-private partnerships ( PPPs) in scientific research. Recognizing that PPPs represent one approach for creating research collaborations and that there are other methods outside the scope of this article, PPPs can be useful in leveraging diverse expertise among government, academic, and industry researchers to address public health needs and questions concerned with nutrition, health, food science, and food and ingredient safety. A three-step process was used to identify the principles proposed herein: step 1) review of existing PPP guidelines, both in the peer-reviewed literature and at 16 disparate non-industry organizations; step 2) analysis of relevant successful or promising PPPs; and step 3) formal background interviews of 27 experienced, senior-level individuals from academia, government, industry, foundations, and non-governmental organizations. This process resulted in the articulation of 12 potential principles for establishing and managing successful research PPPs. The review of existing guidelines showed that guidelines for research partnerships currently reside largely within institutions rather than in the peer-reviewed literature. This article aims to introduce these principles into the literature to serve as a framework for dialogue and for future PPPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To establish PCR-based assays for the rapid identification and differentiation of each of four known biotype 2 (BT2) phenotype-causing alleles in Yersinia ruckeri strains currently circulating in Europe and the United States. Methods and Results:  Novel assays were developed relying on detection of mutant allele-specific changes in restriction enzyme cleavage sites within targeted PCR products. The developed assays were validated against isolates previously genotyped by DNA sequencing. Conclusions:  The described methods were specific, rapid and simple to perform and interpret. Significance and Impact of the Study:  The developed genotyping assays provide a valuable tool for identification and differentiation of specific BT2 strains of Y. ruckeri. These assays will be critical for the design and validation of new vaccines or other measures meant to control BT2 strains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Syrphidae with predaceous larvae are important predators of aphids and other insects and can be attracted and maintained in agricultural environments by the addition of flowering plants. Malaise interception traps baited with moveable flowering plants are a novel means of surveying for attractive species and can have the advantages of: (1) homogenising experimental site and plant quality, (2) portability, (3) continuous sampling, (4) capacity to simultaneously capture a broad range of insects (including pests) and (5) no requirement for additional sensory cues to be effective. Six of the 10 species of plants tested were relatively attractive (number of syrphids captured in flower-traps/numbers captured in no plant controls). While flower-traps captured more syrphid species than their associated controls, there were no differences between flower-traps and controls in the sizes (head height) or proboscis lengths of the flies collected. There were no significant relationships between relative attractiveness and flower width or depth or with plant height and floral area. Similarly, mean proboscis length of flies taken in flower-baited traps was not correlated with flower width or depth. The absence of the latter relationship may be due to the inability of an interception trap to distinguish between attraction and attraction-then-feeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Assessing the role of pre-fire ground preparation operations and soil water repellency in post-fire runoff and inter-rill erosion by repeated rainfall simulation experiments in Portuguese eucalypt plantations.

AB  - Abstract: This study addressed the impacts of contrasting pre-fire ground preparation operations on post-fire runoff and inter-rill erosion in six eucalypt plantations in north-central Portugal, with a special emphasis on the role of soil water repellency in the seasonal patterns of overland flow generation. To this end, a down slope ploughed, a contour ploughed and a terraced site were compared with three unploughed sites. Runoff and erosion data were collected in the field by carrying out rainfall simulation experiments (RSEs) with two intensities (45–50 and 80–85mmh−1) at six occasions during the first one to two years following wildfires in 2005 and 2006. Overall runoff coefficients varied markedly amongst the six study sites and between the two intensities (7 to 55%). While runoff figures were comparable to those of prior RSE studies in recently burnt areas, overall sediment losses were comparatively low (7–155gm−2) but contained a substantial organic matter fraction (29–74%). Apparently, the inter-rill erosion rates were essentially sediment-limited, fitting in with the long history of intensive land use that is typical in the Mediterranean Basin. The hydrological and erosion impacts of the three pre-fire ground preparation operations were minor, probably because these operations took place several years before the latest wildfire. Overall, the two rainfall intensities produced the expected differences but this effect was only statistically significant for simultaneous RSEs. Furthermore, the effect of rainfall intensity varied markedly between the study sites and, occasionally, between the two plot pairs at the same site. This impeded an erosion risk ranking of the six study sites that was consistent for both rainfall intensities. Runoff and erosion rates did not decrease in a simple or pronounced manner with time-since-fire. These temporal patterns could in part be attributed to changes in soil water repellency but other factors were involved as well. Removal of the protective soil cover by litter in particular appeared to play a key role in the increase in sediment losses following logging and wood extraction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Urban storm water runoff poses a substantial threat of pollution to receiving surface waters. Green infrastructure, low impact development, green building ordinances, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permit compliance, and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation strategies have become national priorities; however, designers need more sustainable, low-cost solutions to meet these goals and guidelines. The objective of this study was to determine the multiple-event removal efficiency and capacity of compost filter socks (FS) and filter socks with natural sorbents (NS) to remove soluble phosphorus, ammonium-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, E. coli, Enterococcus, and oil from urban storm water runoff. Treatments were exposed to simulated storm water pollutant concentrations consistent with urban runoff originating from impervious surfaces, such as parking lots and roadways. Treatments were exposed to a maximum of 25 runoff events, or when removal efficiencies were ≤ 25%, whichever occurred first. Experiments were conducted in triplicate. The filter socks with natural sorbents removed significantly greater soluble phosphorus than the filter socks alone, removing a total of 237 mg/linear m over eight runoff events, or an average of 34%. The filter socks with natural sorbents removed 54% of ammonium-nitrogen over 25 runoff events, or 533 mg/linear m, and only 11% of nitrate-nitrogen, or 228 mg/linear m. The filter socks and filter socks with natural sorbents both removed 99% of oil over 25 runoff events, or a total load of 38,486 mg/linear m. Over 25 runoff events the filter socks with natural sorbents removed E. coli and Enteroccocus at 85% and 65%, or a total load of 3.14 CFUs x 108/ linear m and 1.5 CFUs x 109/linear m, respectively; both were significantly greater than treatment by filter socks alone. Based on these experiments, this technique can be used to reduce soluble pollutants from storm water over multiple runoff events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

But rangelands are characterized by ecological, economic, and political marginality, and higher value, more intensive land uses are impinging on rangelands around the world. Earth Stewardship of rangelands must address both livestock management and the broader socioecological dynamics that promote land-use changes, fragmentation, and degradation. We identify specific gradients on which human-rangeland systems can be arrayed, including issues of variability, adaptation to disturbance, commercialization, land-use change, land-tenure security, and effective governance, and we illustrate the gradients' interactions and effects in sites worldwide. The result is a synthetic framework to help in understanding how rangeland Earth Stewardship can be achieved in the face of marginality, globalization, and climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Widespread threats to forests resulting from drought stress are prompting a re-evaluation of priorities for water management on forest lands. In contrast to the widely held view that forest management should emphasize providing water for downstream uses, we argue that maintaining forest health in the context of a changing climate may require focusing on the forests themselves and on strategies to reduce their vulnerability to increasing water stress. Management strategies would need to be tailored to specific landscapes but could include thinning, planting and selecting for drought-tolerant species, irrigating, and making more water available to plants for transpiration. Hydrologic modeling reveals that specific management actions could reduce tree mortality due to drought stress. Adopting water conservation for vegetation as a priority for managing water on forested lands would represent a fundamental change in perspective and potentially involve trade-offs with other downstream uses of water.

AB  - Background Controlled-release formulations of bioactive agents are of increasing interest for effective pest control. Volatile 2-heptanone is a bioactive agent that has shown potential as a pesticide. The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics of release of 2-heptanone incorporated into lipid films or composite solid lipid particle ( SLP) films. Results Effective 2-heptanone diffusivity was estimated to be between 0.1 and 2.5 mm2 day−1 during the first week and between 0.05 and 0.1 mm2 day−1 during the next 5 weeks. The films that showed better retention of 2-heptanone were the paraffin lipid films. Inclusion of SLPs into paraffin films increased the release rate of 2-heptanone, mainly owing to a decrease in the film firmness as the composite SLP film became less crystalline and more brittle. In contrast, SLPs decreased the kinetics of 2-heptanone release in Acetem films owing to an increase in the film firmness. Conclusions The results indicated that the use of SLPs as a method for controlled release can improve the delivery of the natural pesticide 2-heptanone if the SLPs have good compatibility with the matrix, leading to an increase in firmness of the films without increasing their porosity. Published 2012. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses research which examined feral swine infection status in the U.S. in 2009-2012. Swine are said to be the only natural host of pseudorabies virus. A pseudorabies-free status was obtained by the commercial swine industry in 2004. Findings revealed that 18% of the 8,498 serum samples collected from feral swine were antibody positive in 25 states. A national surveillance program is being coordinated to monitor high risk areas for introduction of classical swine fever (CSF).

The remote vaccination and the use of immunocontraception of bison are the proposed strategies to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Findings showed that IC-inoculated animals seroconverted and one was culture positive at 12 weeks exposure. Meanwhile, weak serologic responses were observed in four intrauterine bison.

N2  - Background: Little is known about the associations between natural amenities, recreation facility density, and obesity, at a national level. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to examine associations between countylevel natural amenities, density of recreation facilities, and obesity prevalence among United States counties. Methods: Data were obtained from a compilation of sources within the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service Food Environment Atlas. Independent variables of interest were the natural amenities scale and recreation facilities per capita. The dependent variable was county-level obesity prevalence. Potential covariates included a measure of county-level percent Black residents, percent Hispanic residents, median age, and median household income. All models were stratified by population loss, persistent poverty, and metro status. Multilevel linear regression models were used to examine the association between obesity and natural amenities and recreation facilities, with "state" as a random effects second level variable. Results: There were statistically significant negative associations between percent obesity and 1) natural amenities and 2) recreation facilities per capita. Conclusions: Future research should examine environmental and policy changes to increase recreation facilities and enhance accessible natural amenities to decrease obesity rates.

AB  - We examine how payday loan access and use relates to food-related material hardship with a sample of nonelderly households in both the December 2008 and January 2009 Current Population Surveys (CPS). We find that state legislation limiting access to payday loans increases the prevalence of our marginal food security measure by 1.4 percentage points and the probability of reporting that more money is needed for food (food inadequacy) by 2.3 percentage points. Further analyses using state payday loan limits as an instrumental variable suggest that using payday loans helps protect some households from food insecurity, especially those at the cusp of food insecurity. Our findings suggest that many households that are at risk for food insecurity face an unmet need for short-term credit and that improved credit access could reduce food insecurity and improve well-being.

N2  - General circulation models predict significant and accelerating changes in local patterns of precipitation and temperature during the twenty-first century. Agriculture's vulnerability to climate change will depend on both the biophysical impacts of climate change on crop yields and on the agricultural system's ability to adapt to changing production conditions. Shifts in the extent and distribution of irrigated and dryland production are a potentially important adaptation response. Farmer flexibility to adapt may be limited, however, by changes in the availability of irrigation water under future climate conditions. This study uses a suite of models to explore the biophysical and economic impacts of climate change on U.S. fieldcrop production under several potential future climate projections, and to explore the potential limits and opportunities for adaptation arising from shifting regional water balances. The study findings suggest that, while irrigation shortages attributable to climate change have varying effects on cropland use, the aggregate impacts on national production are small relative to the direct biophysical impacts of climate change on yield.

N2  - Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries are members of 29 distinct free trade agreements with other Latin American partners, and 44 such agreements exist between an LAC country and other countries. Among the LAC countries linked by an Free Trade Agreement (FTA), a large percentage of trade is already duty free though many trade barriers in agriculture persist. There is a significant difference in the trade patterns among the LAC countries. The Southern Cone countries, for example, have extensive agricultural exports to Asia and to the European Union (EU), and have few FTAs with regional countries. By contrast, countries in Central America and the Andean region have extensive trade agreements with each other, and have fewer exports outside the region. Meanwhile, other regions are negotiating ambitious mega-agreements, particularly the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). These could have significant impacts on the region, including trade diversion and preference erosion in major import markets. Several possible avenues exist for Latin American countries to accomplish the following: counter the impact of a TPP and T-TIP on agricultural exports; strengthen existing bilateral trade agreements within the region; link existing multi-country agreements such as Mercado Comun del Sur (MERCOSUR) and the Pacific Alliance to North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); consolidate the current trade agreements with the EU; or "sign on" to the TPP. This last option would be more attractive if China were to become a TPP participant. If China is not interested in joining the TPP, then for some countries a direct FTA with China could be contemplated.

N2  - Economic theory predicts that households who receive less in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits than they spend on food will treat SNAP benefits as if they were cash. However, empirical tests of these predictions draw different conclusions. In this study, we reexamine this question using recent increases in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, the largest of which was due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We find that increases in benefits cause households to increase their food budget share by more than would be predicted by theory. Results are robust to a host of specification tests.

N2  - This article statistically isolates the impacts of city-level permitting and other local regulatory processes on residential PV prices in the United States. We combine data from two "scoring" mechanisms that independently capture local regulatory process efficiency with the largest dataset of installed PV prices in the United States. We find that variations in local permitting procedures can lead to differences in average residential PV prices of approximately $0.18/W between the jurisdictions with the least-favorable and most-favorable permitting procedures. Between jurisdictions with scores across the middle 90% of the range (i.e., 5th percentile to 95th percentile), the difference is $0.14/W, equivalent to a $700 (2.2%) difference in system costs for a typical 5-kW residential PV installation. When considering variations not only in permitting practices, but also in other local regulatory procedures, price differences grow to $0.64-$0.93/W between the least-favorable and most-favorable jurisdictions. Between jurisdictions with scores across the middle 90% of the range, the difference is equivalent to a price impact of at least $2500 (8%) for a typical 5-kW residential PV installation. These results highlight the magnitude of cost reduction that might be expected from streamlining local regulatory regimes.

N2  - Rising prices of agricultural commodities have renewed concerns about constraints to agricultural productivity. To assess productivity trends, total factor productivity (TFP) is generally preferred to partial productivity indexes as an indicator of technical and efficiency changes because it is more closely related to the unit costs of production. But measuring TFP is demanding of data, and developing comprehensive and comparable indexes of international agricultural TFP has been challenging. This study proposes a growth accounting approach, using FAO data on quantity changes in inputs and outputs and aggregating input changes using cost shares derived from other sources, as a consistent way of constructing agricultural TFP indexes for world agriculture. This produces aggregate growth rates for agricultural output, input and TFP at the country, regional and global levels. Results suggest that the rate of agricultural TFP growth accelerated in recent decades, especially in developing countries. Most regions of the world now rely on productivity-based growth rather than resource-based growth to raise agricultural output.

Farmers operating on this land who are motivated most strongly by production-related metrics may not voluntarily adopt conservation practices. Policy approaches that raise the personal value of improving environmental quality may improve the likelihood of adoption.

N2  - Purpose --The recent fluctuations in farm income remind us of the boom-bust nature of the agricultural sector. To better understand these fluctuations in farm income, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between farm income and influential factors from 1964 to 2010 allowing for structural breaks in the data. Design/methodology/approach --The authors estimate error-correction models for an overarching model and several sub-models at different scales based on their relationship with farm income: micro, meso, and macro. The authors then provide a series of impulse response functions (IRFs) that combine short- and long-run impacts in a rigorous framework indicating the response of farm income to shocks from any of the explanatory variables. Findings --Results indicate that prices paid (PP) and received by farmers, technological change, interest and exchange rates (ERs), gross domestic product (GDP) and land prices all influence farm income. Results using IRFs show how increases in farm income arise from shocks to prices received and GDP; while PP, interest rates, and land prices have a negative impact on farm income. Technological progress and ERs switch from having a negative short-run impact, to a positive long-run impact.

N2  - Purpose --The purpose of this paper is to consider how the federal crop insurance (FCI) program influences farm debt use, one of the key financial decisions made by farm operators. Design/methodology/approach --Using data from the nationally representative Agricultural Resource Management Survey, the paper implements a propensity score matching model of the impact of FCI participation on various measures of farm business debt use. To account for the simultaneity of financial decisions, the paper further tests this relationship using a seemingly unrelated regression model. Findings --FCI participation is associated with an increase in use of short-term farm debt, but not long-term debt, consistent with risk balancing behavior and current trends in the farm sector.

N2  - Brazil's broiler industry growth over the past fifteen years has led the country to become one of the world's leaders in the industry. Between 1999 and 2014 Brazil's broiler production increased from 5.5 million tons to 12.7 million tons, or 130 percent, propelling the country to become the world's third largest producer after the United States and China. Exports have increased fivefold since 1999 with Brazil, in recent years, overtaking the United States as the world's largest chicken meat exporter. The very rapid and successful vertical integration in the poultry industry in Brazil has led to productivity growth, efficiency gains from vertical coordination, and lower production costs. We examine the costs, returns, and profitability of commercial broiler production in Brazil taking into account the country's regional diversity in production, the size of operations, and the type of technology used.

N2  - This study utilizes a source-based demand systems model to estimate demand for imported poultry products in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and to evaluate the impact that modifications of the Common External Tariff (CET) would have on the demand for poultry products from the United States, Brazil, Canada and the European Union. Own price elasticities suggest that CARICOM's poultry import demand is highly price responsive in both the short run and the long run, and that any significant increases in imported poultry prices could be expected to trigger greater than proportional decreases in quantities demanded from all source countries except Brazil. Results also suggest that if the CET were removed, all source countries would be able to expand poultry product exports into CARICOM. Canada is the only country that would decrease exports to CARICOM in the long run if the CET were removed. Poultry exports to the region from most source countries would contract with a doubling of the CET to 80%, in both the short run and the long run.

N2  - The article applied a Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) differential model to evaluate the impact of HPAI (H5N1) virus outbreaks on EU-27's import demand for five meat products: cooked poultry, uncooked poultry, beef, pork, and other meats. One novel feature of this work is the division of poultry into two distinct import products--cooked (safe) and uncooked (less safe). Analysis shows that HPAI (H5N1) outbreaks had statistically significant impacts on EU27 import demand for meats, increasing cooked poultry and decreasing uncooked poultry, beef, pork, and other meats. The shift in import demand regime was permanent and statistically significant, making cooked poultry imports EU27's largest, averaging more than 50 percent of EU imports in 2013 and 2014.

N2  - Import demand for poultry has made it South Africa's fastest growing meat product, while demand for beef, sheep, and goat meat is generally declining. Poultry was found to be a statistically significant substitute for pork and other meat (sheep, goat, and offal), but insignificant with respect to beef. Pork tends to be complementary to beef, though statistically insignificant. The article investigates which of three crucial factors are most affecting South Africa meat imports: (1) changes in consumer tastes and/or meat processing technology, (2) prices, or (3) scales indicating the total size of the imported meat market. Major findings showed that changes in taste-technology had a greater impact on increasing poultry and pork imports than changes in prices, even though poultry prices tended to increase less than the prices of beef, pork, and other meats, making it a better bargain.

N2  - China's poultry production and consumption are growing rapidly, but rising input costs could slow its development. Increases in corn and soybean prices and wages are partially transmitted to rising retail chicken prices in China. Corn and soybean meal appear to be substitutes, and corn prices have a stronger impact on chicken prices than does the price of soybean meal. Modest technical change impacts partly offset the effect of rising input prices. Rising grain prices and wages, reinforced by Chinese currency appreciation, are eroding the international competitiveness of the Chinese poultry industry.

N2  - Japan and South Korea, net importers of chicken meat, experienced high-pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in their domestic broiler populations and faced HPAI outbreaks in some of their principal suppliers in the last two decades. Both countries banned imports of frozen chicken meat from China and Thailand, beginning in 2004. Japanese data show that there was a structural break in import behavior at that time. Rotterdam models are estimated for Japan before and after the break and for Korea from 2005-2013. Results show that China and Thailand competed mostly with each other in the latter period, dividing up the cooked meat trade with few substitution effects evident with other suppliers. Brazil's exports dominate Japan's frozen chicken imports. Imports of both Korea and Japan have been rising. Imports from Brazil and China show the most elastic response to increased import expenditure, suggesting that the share of both countries in East Asian imports could grow in the future.

N2  - The conventional estimation method of the pricing-to-market (the PTM) model in the international trade literature is a within model of panel regression of export prices on exchange rates with time and country dummies. Previous studies have found a significant coefficient parameter in exchange rate variable, which is only indicative of short-run pricing-to-market for multiple export destinations rather than long-run pricing behavior. This paper examines a long-run pricing-to-market for U.S. broiler meat export markets, using "between" panel specification. Findings indicate that the U.S. pricing-to-market behavior of exporters is both transient and persistently long. These results clearly imply that the implementation of a long-run pricing-to-market strategy in the U.S. broiler meat exports mitigates the rising imbalance between the domestic production and consumption via incomplete exchange rate pass-through.

N2  - Using USDA's ARMS data for 2003-2011 and the DuPont expansion financial model, we determine the extent and location of U.S. broiler farms and estimate the drivers of farm profitability, asset turnover, solvency, and return on equity. We find that farm size, diversification, and broiler housing vintage are the major drivers of farm financial performance, so these factors will likely have the greatest impact on U.S. broiler production in an increasingly competitive broiler trade market. Furthermore, region, farmer age, and off-farm employment are additional farm financial performance drivers that have implications for international competitiveness.

N2  - U.S. Poultry exports over the past twenty years have risen dramatically. But, concern over Salmonella has threatened access to some traditional export markets. This paper examines the economic forces driving recent reductions in Salmonella on U.S. chicken and discusses the implications of these reductions for U.S. poultry exports. Empirical results suggest that plant size and regulatory changes have contributed to a 50 percent reduction in Salmonella on chicken. These lower Salmonella levels will likely strengthen the U.S. bargaining position in trade negotiations and enhance the U.S. reputation in world trade but will not likely result in immediate export gains.

N2  - Many factors influence a country's international poultry market accessibility, including freedom from diseases such as highly pathogenic avian influenza and highly pathogenic strains of Newcastle disease. This study examines OIE-reported events of these two diseases over a 16-year period to determine the factors that contributed significantly to trade revenue recovery time. Results indicate that the elements influencing a measurable negative export revenue effect due to disease--including risk perceptions and whether the disease is zoonotic--differ from the elements that influence the length of revenue recovery, such as product affordability. In addition, overall global economic health and growing meat demand are elements that matter at the time an event occurs. The magnitude of elements influencing trade revenue during disease events suggests that recovery from HPAI and ND events may take months, not years.

AB  - Abstract: In this paper, we present a model of prehistoric southwestern Colorado maize productivity. The model is based on a tree-ring reconstruction of water-year precipitation for Mesa Verde for the period A.D. 480 to 2011. Correlation of historic Mesa Verde precipitation with historic precipitation at 11 other weather stations enabled the construction of an elevation-dependent precipitation function. Prehistoric water-year precipitation values for Mesa Verde together with the elevation-dependent precipitation function allowed construction of the elevation of southwest Colorado precipitation contours for each year since A.D. 480, including the 30-cm contour, which represents the minimum amount of precipitation necessary for the production of maize and the 50-cm contour, which represents the optimum amount of precipitation necessary for the production of maize. In this paper, calculations of prehistoric maize productivity and field life for any specific elevation are also demonstrated. These calculations were performed using organic nitrogen measurements made on seven southwestern Colorado soil groups together with values of reconstructed water-year precipitation and estimations of the organic nitrogen mineralization rate.

AB  - The Clostridium-related poultry disease, necrotic enteritis (NE), causes substantial economic losses on a global scale. In the present study, a mixture of two plant-derived phytonutrients, Capsicum oleoresin and turmeric oleoresin (XT), was evaluated for its effects on local and systemic immune responses using a co-infection model of experimental NE in commercial broilers. Chickens were fed from hatch with a diet supplemented with XT, or with a non-supplemented control diet, and either uninfected or orally challenged with virulent Eimeria maxima oocysts at 14 d and Clostridium perfringens at 18 d of age. Parameters of protective immunity were as follows: (1) body weight; (2) gut lesions; (3) serum levels of C. perfringens α-toxin and NE B-like (NetB) toxin; (4) serum levels of antibodies to α-toxin and NetB toxin; (5) levels of gene transcripts encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the intestine and spleen. Infected chickens fed the XT-supplemented diet had increased body weight and reduced gut lesion scores compared with infected birds given the non-supplemented diet. The XT-fed group also displayed decreased serum α-toxin levels and reduced intestinal IL-8, lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α factor (LITAF), IL-17A and IL-17F mRNA levels, while cytokine/chemokine levels in splenocytes increased in the XT-fed group, compared with the animals fed the control diet. In conclusion, the present study documents the molecular and cellular immune changes following dietary supplementation with extracts of Capsicum and turmeric that may be relevant to protective immunity against avian NE.

T1  - Relationship of lycopene intake and consumption of tomato products to incident CVD.

AB  - Evidence for cardioprotective effects of lycopene is inconsistent. Studies of circulating lycopene generally report inverse associations with CVD risk, but studies based on lycopene intake do not. The failure of dietary studies to support the findings based on biomarkers may be due in part to misclassification of lycopene intakes. To address this potential misclassification, we used repeated measures of intake obtained over 10 years to characterise the relationship between lycopene intake and the incidence of CVD (n 314), CHD (n 171) and stroke (n 99) in the Framingham Offspring Study. Hazard ratios (HR) for incident outcomes were derived from Cox proportional hazards regression models using logarithmically transformed lycopene intake adjusted for CVD risk factors and correlates of lycopene intake. HR were interpreted as the increased risk for a 2·7-fold difference in lycopene intake, a difference approximately equal to its interquartile range. Using an average of three intake measures with a 9-year follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CVD incidence (HR 0·83, 95 % CI 0·70, 0·98). Using an average of two intake measures and 11 years of follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CHD incidence (HR 0·74, 95 % CI 0·58, 0·94). Lycopene intake was unrelated to stroke incidence. The present study of lycopene intake and CVD provides supporting evidence for an inverse association between lycopene and CVD risk; however, additional research is needed to determine whether lycopene or other components of tomatoes, the major dietary source of lycopene, are responsible for the observed association.

AB  - Considered endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) breeds exclusively in the juniper-oak (Jun iperus ashei-Quercus spp.) woodlands of central Texas. Large-scale, spatially explicit models that predict population density as a function of habitat and landscape variables can provide important insight for its management and recovery. We used distance sampling to model detection probability and to estimate the density and abundance of singing male Golden-cheeked Warbiers on Fort Hood Military Reservation. We used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate hypotheses concerning the effects of proportion of forest type and forest cover, forest-edge density, and patch size on density. We fitted generalized linear models with detection probability as an offset term to predict density as a function of the habitat and landscape variables, calculate a model-based density and abundance estimate, and map density across the area sampled. The design-based estimates were 0.39 males ha-' and 7557 singing males. The most supported model contained proportion of forest type and forest cover, both of which had a positive effect on density, as well as forest-edge density, which had a negative effect. The model-based estimates of 0.39 males ha-' and 7571 singing males were greater than estimates extrapolated from intensive territory monitoring. Knowledge of factors affecting Golden-cheeked Warbler density can be used to inform recovery efforts, and our density model can be used to assess the effects of various activities proposed for military training and of environmental disturbance on warbler densities.

Modelos espaclalmente expilcitos de gran escala que predicen la densidad poblacional como una función de las varlables del habitat y del paisaje pueden brindar información importante para su manejo y recuperación. Usamos muestreos de distancia para modelar la probabilidad de detección y para estimar la densidad y abundancla de individuos machos canoros de S. chrysoparla en la Reserva Militar Fuerte Hood. Usamos un enfoque de la teorla de la información para evaluar las hipótesis concernientes sobre los efectos de la proporción del tipo de bosque y de la cobertura del bosque, de la densidad de borde de bosque y del tarnaflo del parche sobre la densidad. Ajustamos modelos lineales generalizados con la probabilidad de detección como un término de compensación para predecir la densidad como función de las varlables del habitat y del paisaje, calcular la densidad y abundancla estimada basada en el modelo y mapear la densidad a lo largo del area muestreada. Las estimaciones basadas en el diseño fueron 0.39 machos ha-1 y 7557 machos canoros. El modelo con mejor soporte contuvo una proporción de tipo de bosque y de cobertura de bosque, ambos de los cuales tuvieron un efecto positivo sobre la densidad, lo mismo que la densidad de borde del bosque, la cual tuvo un efecto negativo. Las estimaciones basadas en los modelos de 0.39 machos ha-1 y 7571 machos canoros fueron más grandes que las estimaciones extrapoladas de monitoreos territorlales intensivos. El conocimiento de los factores que afectan la densidad de S. chrysoparla puede ser usado para optimizar los esfuerzos de recuperación, y nuestro modelo de densidad puede ser usado para evaluar los efectos de varlas actividades propuestas de entrenamiento militar y de los disturbios ambientales en la densidad de S. chrysoparla.

AB  - Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a single-celled, intracellular protozoan responsible for the disease toxoplasmosis. The parasite is prevalent worldwide, and it infects all warm-blooded vertebrates. Consumption of meats in which this parasite has encysted confers risk of infection to people and other animals, as does ingestion of water or foods contaminated with environmentally resistant oocysts excreted by cats. Vertical transmission (from mother to offspring) is also possible, leading to disease risk and contributing additional means of ensuring perpetuation of transmission. In this work, we adopt a differential equation model to investigate the effective transmission pathways of T. gondii, as well as potential control mechanisms. Detailed analyses are carried out to examine the significance of transmission routes, virulence, vertical transmission, parasite-induced changes in host behavior, and controls based on vaccination and harvesting. Modeling and analysis efforts may shed insights into understanding the complex life cycle of T. gondii. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

We identified 272 cases in 44 states with illness onset dates ranging from 1 July 2009 to 14 April 2010. To help generate hypotheses, warehouse store membership card information was collected to identify products consumed by cases. These records identified 19 ill persons who purchased company A salami products before onset of illness. A case-control study was conducted. Ready-to-eat salami consumption was significantly associated with illness (matched odds ratio 8·5, 95% confidence interval 2·1–75·9). The outbreak strain was isolated from company A salami products from an environmental sample from one manufacturing plant, and sealed containers of black and red pepper at the facility. This outbreak illustrates the importance of using membership card information to assist in identifying suspect vehicles, the potential for spices to contaminate ready-to-eat products, and preventing raw ingredient contamination of these products.

AB  - Abstract: Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a dietary component with possible anticancer effects, though much information about AITC and cancer has been obtained from cell studies. To investigate the effect of AITC on DNA integrity in vivo, a crossover study was conducted. Adults (n=46) consumed AITC, AITC-rich vegetables [mustard and cabbage (M/C)] or a control treatment with a controlled diet for 10 days each. On day 11, volunteers provided blood and urine before and after consuming treatments. Volunteers were characterized for genotype for GSTM1 and GSTT1 (glutathione S-transferases) and XPD (DNA repair). DNA integrity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assessed by single-cell gel electrophoresis. Urine was analyzed for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and creatinine. Ten-day intake of neither AITC nor M/C resulted in statistically significant differences in DNA strand breaks [least squares mean (LSmean) % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 4.8±0.6 for control, 5.7±0.7 for AITC, 5.3±0.6 for M/C] or urinary 8-oxodG (LSmean μg 8-oxodG/g creatinine±S.E.M.: 2.95±0.09 for control, 2.88±0.09 for AITC, 3.06±0.09 for M/C). Both AITC and M/C increased DNA strand breaks 3 h postconsumption (LSmean % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 3.2±0.7 for control, 8.3±1.7 for AITC, 8.0±1.7 for M/C), and this difference disappeared at 6 h (4.2±0.9 for control, 5.7±1.2 for AITC, 5.5±1.2 for M/C). Genotypes for GSTM1, GSTT1 and XPD were not associated with treatment effects. In summary, DNA damage appeared to be induced in the short term by AITC and AITC-rich products, but that damage disappeared quickly, and neither AITC nor AITC-rich products affected DNA base excision repair.

T1  - Methylselenol, a selenium metabolite, modulates p53 pathway and inhibits the growth of colon cancer xenografts in Balb/c mice

AB  - Abstract: It is has been hypothesized that methylselenol is a critical selenium metabolite for anticancer activity in vivo. In this study, we used a protein array which contained 112 different antibodies known to be involved in the p53 pathway to investigate the molecular targets of methylselenol in human HCT116 colon cancer cells. The array analysis indicated that methylselenol exposure changed the expression of 11 protein targets related to the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. Subsequently, we confirmed these proteins with the Western blotting approach, and found that methylselenol increased the expression of GADD 153 and p21 but reduced the level of c-Myc, E2F1 and Phos p38 MAP kinase. Similar to our previous report on human HCT116 colon cancer cells, methylselenol also inhibited cell growth and led to an increase in G1 and G2 fractions with a concomitant drop in S-phase in mouse colon cancer MC26 cells. When the MC26 cells were transplanted to their immune-competent Balb/c mice, methylselenol-treated MC26 cells had significantly less tumor growth potential than that of untreated MC26 cells. Taken together, our data suggest that methylselenol modulates the expression of key genes related to cell cycle and apoptosis and inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth.

T1  - The effect of triclosan on the uterotrophic response to extended doses of ethinyl estradiol in the weanling rat

AB  - Abstract: Triclosan (TCS), an antibacterial, has been shown to be an endocrine disruptor in the rat. We reported previously that TCS potentiated the estrogenic effect of ethinyl estradiol (EE) on uterine growth in rats exposed to EE and TCS in the uterotrophic assay, whereas TCS alone had no effect. To further characterize this potentiation, we evaluated the effect of co-exposure with lower doses of EE that are comparable to the concentrations in hormone replacement regimens and began to assess the mechanisms by which this potentiation occurs. Changes in uterine weight, epithelial cell growth, and estrogen-sensitive gene expression were assessed. TCS expectedly enhanced the uterotrophic response to EE, however at significantly lower doses of EE. Similarly, TCS increased the EE-induced stimulation of epithelial cell height following cotreatment. Cotreatment also enhanced the estrogen-induced change in gene expression, which was reversed with an ER antagonist. Furthermore, the TCS-induced potentiation was independent of ER activation, as no effects were observed in the ER TA assay. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article discusses a study which represents the first report of malignant catarrhal fever virus (MCFV) infection in free-ranging musk ox outside North America. It aimed to define the epizootiology of malignant catarrhal fever viruses (MCFV) by collecting and examining serum and spleen samples from a free-ranging musk ox (Ovibos moschatos) population in Dovrefjell, Norway. It suggests that MCVF-Muskox is enzootic in the Dovrefjell musk ox population and that calves are infected early in life.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Aging induces a shift in circulating hormones in women, accompanied by weight gain during the late reproductive, menopausal transition, and postmenopausal years. Exercise has been shown to counter weight gain; however, it might increase circulating androgens. A 6-month aerobic and resistance training exercise regimen was implemented to examine interrelationships between circulating sex hormones, body composition, aerobic capacity, insulin sensitivity, and insulin resistance. METHODS: Twenty-eight women, aged 42 to 52 years, completed the 6-month intervention study. They were randomly assigned to either a control (CON; n = 10) group-and maintained their sedentary lifestyle-or an exercise intervention (EXE; n = 18) group. The exercise intervention consisted of combined aerobic and resistance workouts scheduled 6 days/week for 60 minutes/day. Body weight, composition, VO2 peak, plasma insulin, glucose, lipid profile, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) were measured at baseline and on month 6. Insulin sensitivity was estimated using the insulin sensitivity index and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index, whereas insulin resistance was estimated using the homeostatic model for insulin resistance. RESULTS: There was a trend toward increased DHEAS in both groups (P < 0.1), but not as a function of the intervention. Insulin sensitivity index increased in the EXE group compared with the CON group (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression indicated that, at 6 months, DHEAS was a negative contributor to insulin sensitivity in the EXE group, but not in the CON group. CONCLUSIONS: In midlife women, an increase in circulating DHEAS, such as that previously reported during the menopausal transition, is associated with higher insulin resistance, but exercise can mitigate this risk by improving insulin sensitivity, thereby countering the effects of DHEAS.

AB  - The purpose of this research is to investigate whether mobile food markets may be effective in facilitating healthy food choices in food deserts. We investigate who does and does not use mobile food markets and why, and whether mobile markets have the potential to alter attitudes and food choices, and if so, how? We use a focus group study at four sites in the US to ask groups of mobile market shoppers and non-shoppers about their shopping, cooking, and eating attitudes and behaviors. We find that mobile market shoppers eat significantly more servings of fruits and vegetables, however, both shoppers and non-shoppers perceive fruits and vegetables as luxury items, and both groups lack knowledge about what is a serving and what is the recommended number of servings per day. Both groups identified the following needs for mobile markets to be more successful: increased awareness and advertising; affordability; improved convenience by offering more stops and hours, as well as greater variety of items for one-stop shopping; emphasis on value and service; and building trust within communities.

AB  - Consumers choose to eat different forms of foods based on a wide variety of factors such as price, taste, nutrition, and convenience and, in doing so, make trade-offs among them. A Web-based application for use by nutrition educators was developed to help individuals compare foods prepared from home recipes with those for other forms of food (eg, frozen, canned, dry mix). Foods with a home-recipe form in US Department of Agriculture databases were selected to represent a range of commonly consumed entrees, baked goods, side dishes, fruits, vegetables, desserts, and beverages. Multiple US Department of Agriculture and commercial databases along with other public data sources were used to construct prices, nutrient values, food groups and components, preparation and cooking times, shelf life, and food safety concerns for foods in the database. Per-serving and per-100-g values were constructed for 100 individual foods with a home recipe and 1 or more other forms. The data are available in a Web-based application, located at http:/www.foodvalueanalysis.org, allowing comparisons of individual foods or a daily diet constructed from foods in the database. Nutrition educators can use the application to advise individuals in selecting foods to consume to meet dietary guidelines while taking into consideration cost, preparation time, food preparation skills, and individual preferences. For example, the application can be used to evaluate differences in prices of fresh or processed foods, whether home recipe or processed foods are less costly when taking into consideration the value of preparation time, and the differences in nutrients across different forms of foods.

AB  - Schizopora paradoxa KUC8140 is a white rot wood degrader commonly found in Korea. Tolerance to heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dye decolorization activity make this strain a potential candidate for mycoremediation. We report the genome sequence of S. paradoxa KUC8140 containing 44.4 Mbp. Based on ab initio gene prediction, homology search and RNA-seq, total 17,098 gene models were annotated. We identified 17 lignin-modifying peroxidases and other 377 carbohydrate-active enzymes for modeling lignocellulose deconstruction and mycoremediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over the past decade and a half legislative and regulatory changes at the federal level have given US states additional authority to design their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP). This devolution of policymaking authority has led to considerable ambiguity at the national level about the policies that states have put in place. Drawing on a new survey of state SNAP administrators, this paper characterizes two key areas of policy devolution: the treatment of household assets in eligibility determinations and participants' paperwork burden. We find asset and reporting policy changes to be widespread, and the states that have made changes most often adopt the most expansive policy change allowed. We also demonstrate that more accurate policy data sharpens the inferences we make about the effects of several of these policies on participation in SNAP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article investigates the impact of rising wheat prices on household food security in Afghanistan. Exploiting a unique nationally-representative household survey, we find evidence of large declines in the real value of per capita food consumption. Smaller price elasticities with respect to calories than with respect to food consumption suggest that households trade off quality for quantity as they move away from nutrient-rich foods such as meat and vegetables toward staple foods. Our work improves upon country-level simulation studies by providing estimates of actual household food security during a price shock in one of the world's poorest, most food-insecure countries.

AB  - Food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States includes 14.8 billion pounds of fruit and 23.4 billion pounds of vegetables, valued at $15.1 billion and $27.7 billion, respectively, in 2008 retail market prices. The total value of these losses is $42.8 billion per year, or roughly $141 per capita. To most efficiently reduce the annual food loss, it may be beneficial to focus efforts on the four fruits (fresh apples, grapes, peaches and strawberries) and four vegetables (fresh and canned tomatoes and fresh and frozen potatoes) that have the greatest amount of loss.

N2  - Phylloquinone, the primary dietary form of vitamin K, is converted to menaquinone-4 (MK-4) in certain tissues. MK-4 may have tissue-specific roles independent of those traditionally identified with vitamin K. Fischer 344 male rats of different ages (2, 12, and 24 mo, n=20 per age group) were used to compare the conversion of phylloquinone to MK-4 with an equivalent dose of another dietary form of vitamin K, 2′,3′-dihydrophylloquinone. Rats were age- and diet-group pair-fed phylloquinone (198±9.0 µg/kg diet) or dihydrophylloquinone (172±13.0 µg/kg diet) for 28 d. MK-4 was the primary form of vitamin K in serum, spleen, kidney, testes, bone marrow, and brain myelin fractions, regardless of age group. MK-4 concentrations were significantly lower in kidney, heart, testes, cortex (myelin), and striatum (myelin) in the dihydrophylloquinone diet group compared with the phylloquinone diet group (P&lt;0.05). The MK-4 concentrations in 2-mo-old rats were lower in liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and cortex (myelin) but higher in testes compared with 24-mo-old rats (P&lt;0.05). However, there were no age-specific differences in MK-4 concentrations among the rats fed the 2 diets. These data suggest that dihydrophylloquinone, which differs from phylloquinone in its side phytyl chain, is absorbed but its intake results in less MK-4 in certain tissues. Dihydrophylloquinone may be used in models for the study of tissue-specific vitamin K deficiency.

N2  - Liquid egg white is currently pasteurized using heat; however, this treatment damages the functional properties of the egg. In this study, a nonthermal ultraviolet light (UV) system was developed to pasteurize liquid egg white. The system consisted of low-pressure mercury bulbs surrounded by UV transparent tubing. Egg white was inoculated with Escherichia coli K12 and pumped through the UV system at a flow rate of 330 ml/min. The effects of treatment time (0 to 160 s), temperature (30 to 50°C), and egg white pH (7 to 9) on the inactivation of E. coli were investigated. The population of E. coli in egg white was reduced by 4.3 log after being exposed to UV at 50°C for 160 s. Inactivation was linearly dependent on treatment time and was adequately described using first-order kinetics (r2 of 0.94). The electrical energy of the process was calculated to be 44 J/ml. Inactivation was directly dependent on temperature and inversely dependent on pH. Nonthermal UV processing has the potential to improve the safety and functional properties of liquid egg white.

N2  - Arthropod-borne diseases are an important part of the group of foreign animal diseases that command attention from federal, state, and local animal health authorities in the United States because of the potential for adverse local and regional animal health impacts and also because of possible losses of export markets. Diseases of concern are listed by the US Animal Health Association and also by the Office International des Epizooties. Global change is causing the emergence of newly recognized diseases and altering enzootic and epizootic circumstances for known disease problems. Selected examples of arthropod-borne diseases of importance are discussed in terms of their potential for introduction, spread, and impact on livestock and human health in the United States.

N2  - Many infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are undiagnosed, particularly non-O157 STEC. We evaluated the use of a multiple protocol approach to improve diagnosis, isolation, and characterization of STEC strains. Among 18 presumptive STEC-positive stool samples received by the INOVA Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA, in 2006, 16 were Shiga toxin positive. From these 16 stool samples, 8 O157:H7 and 5 non-O157 STEC were isolated by plating onto sorbitol MacConkey (SMAC) agar. The remaining 5 stool samples that did not yield colonies on SMAC agar plates were enriched. All enriched samples were Shiga toxin positive, and 2 O157:H7 and 1 non-O157 STEC were subsequently isolated. The 2 remaining enriched samples did not yield isolates; however, based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, both samples contained STEC genes. Based on PCR analysis of non-O157 strains, 3 strain types were identified. Samples from 3 patients, received within 2 days of one another, had a similar gene profile - eae and stx1 negative and stx2 positive - suggesting that these patients were likely infected with the same strain. Our results indicate that a multiple protocol approach is necessary to reliably diagnose and isolate STEC strains, and that PCR profiling of strains could allow for more rapid identification of outbreaks.

N2  - Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is endemic in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the northeastern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Bovine TB in deer and cattle has created immense financial consequences for the livestock industry and hunting public. Surveillance identified coyotes (Canis latrans) as potential bio-accumulators of Mycobacterium bovis, a finding that generated interest in their potential to serve as sentinels for monitoring disease risk. We sampled 175 coyotes in the bovine TB-endemic area. Fifty-eight tested positive, and infection prevalence by county ranged from 19% to 52% (statistical mean 33%, SE 0.07). By contrast, prevalence in deer (n=3,817) was lower (i.e., 1.49%; Mann-Whitney U4,4=14, p&lt;0.001). By focusing on coyotes rather than deer, we sampled 97% fewer individuals and increased the likelihood of detecting M. bovis by 40%. As a result of reduced sampling intensity, sentinel coyote surveys have the potential to be practical indicators of M. bovis presence in wildlife and livestock.

N2  - Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are common, widely distributed animals that frequently come into contact with wild waterfowl, agricultural operations, and humans. Serosurveys showed that raccoons are exposed to avian influenza virus. We found antibodies to a variety of influenza virus subtypes (H10N7, H4N6, H4N2, H3, and H1) with wide geographic variation in seroprevalence. Experimental infection studies showed that raccoons become infected with avian and human influenza A viruses, shed and transmit virus to virus-free animals, and seroconvert. Analyses of cellular receptors showed that raccoons have avian and human type receptors with a similar distribution as found in human respiratory tracts. The potential exists for co-infection of multiple subtypes of influenza virus with genetic reassortment and creation of novel strains of influenza virus. Experimental and field data indicate that raccoons may play an important role in influenza disease ecology and pose risks to agriculture and human health.

N2  - Throughout the world, aflatoxin contamination is considered one of the most serious food safety issues concerning health. Chronic problems with preharvest aflatoxin contamination occur in the southern US, and are particularly troublesome in corn, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts. Drought stress is a major factor to contribute to preharvest aflatoxin contamination. Recent studies have demonstrated higher concentration of defense or stress-related proteins in corn kernels of resistant genotypes compared with susceptible genotypes, suggesting that preharvest field condition (drought or not drought) influences gene expression differently in different genotypes resulting in different levels of "end products": PR(pathogenesis-related) proteins in the mature kernels. Because of the complexity of Aspergillus-plant interactions, better understanding of the mechanisms of genetic resistance will be needed using genomics and proteomics for crop improvement. Genetic improvement of crop resistance to drought stress is one component and will provide a good perspective on the efficacy of control strategy. Proteomic comparisons of corn kernel proteins between resistant or susceptible genotypes to Aspergillus flavus infection have identified stress-related proteins along with antifungal proteins as associated with kernel resistance. Gene expression studies in developing corn kernels are in agreement with the proteomic studies that defense-related genes could be upregulated or downregulated by abiotic stresses.

N2  - The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is a measure of diet quality as specified by Federal dietary guidance, and publication of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 necessitated its revision. An interagency working group based the HEI-2005 on the food patterns found in MyPyramid. Diets that meet the least restrictive of the food-group recommendations, expressed on a per 1,000 calorie basis, receive maximum scores for the nine adequacy components of the index: total fruit (5 points), whole fruit (5 points), total vegetables (5 points), dark green and orange vegetables and legumes (5 points), total grains (5 points), whole grains (5 points), milk (10 points), meat and beans (10 points), and oils (10 points). Lesser amounts are prorated linearly. Population probability densities were examined when setting the standards for minimum and maximum scores for the three moderation components: saturated fat (10 points), sodium (10 points), and calories from solid fats, alcoholic beverages (ie, beer, wine, and distilled spirits), and added sugars (20 points). Calories from solid fats, alcoholic beverages, and added sugars is a proxy for the discretionary calorie allowance. The 2005 Dietary Guideline for saturated fat and the Adequate Intake and Tolerable Upper Intake Level for sodium, expressed per 1,000 calories, were used when setting the standards for those components. Intakes between the maximum and minimum standards are prorated. The HEI-2005 is a measure of diet quality as described by the key diet-related recommendations of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines. It has a variety of potential uses, including monitoring the diet quality of the US population and subpopulations, evaluation of interventions, and research.

N2  - Background - The Healthy Eating Index (HEI), a measure of diet quality as specified by federal dietary guidance, was revised to conform to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. The HEI has several components, the scores of which are totaled. Objective - The validity and reliability of the HEI-2005 were evaluated. Design Validity was assessed by answering four questions: Does the HEI-2005 (1) give maximum scores to menus developed by experts; (2) distinguish between groups with known differences in diet quality - smokers and nonsmokers; (3) measure diet quality independently of energy intake, a proxy for diet quantity; and (4) have more than one underlying dimension? The relevant type of reliability, internal consistency, was also assessed. Subjects - Twenty-four-hour recalls from 8,650 participants, aged 2 years and older, in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001-2002 were analysed to answer questions 2 to 4. Results were weighted to consider sample design and nonresponse. Statistical analyses - T tests determined differences in scores between smokers and nonsmokers. Pearson correlation coefficients determined the relationship between energy intake and scores. Principal components analysis determined the number of factors that comprise the HEI-2005. Cronbach's coefficient α tested internal consistency. Results - HEI-2005 scores are at or very near the maximum levels for all sets of exemplary menus with one exception; the Harvard menus scored low on the milk component because these menus intentionally include only small amounts of milk products. Nine of 12 component scores were lower for smokers than nonsmokers. The correlations of component scores were virtually independent of energy intake (&lt;|.22|). Multiple factors underlie the HEI-2005. Coefficient α was .43. The α value for all tests was .01. Conclusions - The HEI-2005 is a valid measure of diet quality. Potential uses include population monitoring, evaluation of interventions, and research. The individual component scores provide essential information in addition to that provided by the total score.

N2  - Background: The implementation of folic acid fortification in the United States has resulted in unprecedented amounts of this synthetic form of folate in the American diet. Folic acid in circulation may be a useful measure of physiologic exposure to synthetic folic acid, and there is a potential for elevated concentrations after fortification and the possibility of adverse effects. Objective: We assessed the effect of folic acid fortification on circulating concentrations of folic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the Framingham Offspring Cohort. Design: This is a cross-sectional study that used plasma samples from fasting subjects before and after fortification. Samples were measured for folate distribution with the use of an affinity-HPLC method with electrochemical detection. Results: Among nonsupplement users, the median concentration of folic acid in plasma increased from 0.25 to 0.50 nmol/L (P&lt;0.001) after fortification, and among supplement users the median increased from 0.54 to 0.68 nmol/L (P=0.001). Among nonsupplement users, the prevalence of high circulating folic acid (≥85th percentile) increased from 9.4% to 19.1% (P=0.002) after fortification. Among supplement users, the prevalence of high circulating folic acid increased from 15.9% to 24.3% (P=0.02). Folic acid intake and total plasma folate were positively and significantly related to high circulating folic acid after adjustment for potential confounding factors (P for trend &lt;0.001). Conclusions: Folic acid fortification has resulted in increased exposure to circulating folic acid. The biochemical and physiologic consequences of this are unknown, but these findings highlight the need to understand the effects of chronic exposure to circulating folic acid.

N2  - Mineral metabolism may be altered in children with acute or chronic illnesses. The effects may be short term, such as hypomagnesemia associated with chemotherapy, or long-term, such as loss of bone mineral mass after steroid use. Understanding the causes, consequences, and potential therapies for mineral disorders is enhanced by understanding the absorption, body utilization, and turnover of these minerals. These assessments can now be done safely and readily using non-radioactive, stable isotopes which are available for calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron. The methods for measurement of mineral absorption and kinetics (turnover) are well established, especially for calcium, and have been tested in every age group. Few studies, however, have been performed in children with acute or chronic illnesses such as cancer. Isotope dosing and infusion protocols are minimally invasive and protocols require small blood or urine volumes. Mineral absorption can be assessed without collecting fecal samples. Kinetics are assessed with blood and urine collections, usually over 5-10 days. Increased use of these techniques may be important in medical and nutritional assessment as well as in the management of pediatric oncology patients.

N2  - The purpose of this research was to investigate the associations between misperception of body weight and sociodemographic factors such as food stamp participation status, income, education, and race/ethnicity. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999-2004 and multivariate logistic regression are used to estimate how sociodemographic factors are associated with (i) the probability that overweight adults misperceive themselves as healthy weight; (ii) the probability that healthy-weight adults misperceive themselves as underweight; and (iii) the probability that healthy-weight adults misperceive themselves as overweight. NHANES data are representative of the US civilian noninstitutionalized population. The analysis included 4,362 men and 4,057 women. BMI derived from measured weight and height was used to classify individuals as healthy weight or overweight. These classifications were compared with self-reported categorical weight status. We find that differences across sociodemographic characteristics in the propensity to underestimate or overestimate weight status were more pronounced for women than for men. Overweight female food stamp participants were more likely to underestimate weight status than income-eligible nonparticipants. Among healthy-weight and overweight women, non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American women, and women with less education were more likely to underestimate actual weight status. We found few differences across sociodemographic characteristics for men. Misperceptions of weight are common among both overweight and healthy-weight individuals and vary across socioeconomic and demographic groups. The nutrition education component of the Food Stamp Program could increase awareness of healthy body weight among participants.

N2  - As a result of an US interagency avian influenza surveillance effort in wild birds, four isolates of influenza A viruses were initially identified as H7 by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) but subsequently identified as H16 through genetic sequence analysis. We report the development of internal primers for amplification and cycle-sequencing of the full-length H16 gene, increased detection of H16 within the US, and possible steric inhibition or cross-reaction between H7 and H16 antigens during the conventional HI assay. The latter could have critical implications for poultry operations if H16 viruses are detected and mistakenly reported as H7 viruses.

N2  - Fusarium verticillioides (teleomorph Gibberella moniliformis) can be either an endophyte of maize, causing no visible disease, or a pathogen-causing disease of ears, stalks, roots and seedlings. At any stage, this fungus can synthesize fumonisins, a family of mycotoxins structurally similar to the sphingolipid sphinganine. Ingestion of fumonisin-contaminated maize has been associated with a number of animal diseases, including cancer in rodents, and exposure has been correlated with human oesophageal cancer in some regions of the world, and some evidence suggests that fumonisins are a risk factor for neural tube defects. A primary goal of the authors' laboratory is to eliminate fumonisin contamination of maize and maize products. Understanding how and why these toxins are made and the F. verticillioides-maize disease process will allow one to develop novel strategies to limit tissue destruction (rot) and fumonisin production. To meet this goal, genomic sequence data, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and microarrays are being used to identify F. verticillioides genes involved in the biosynthesis of toxins and plant pathogenesis. This paper describes the current status of F. verticillioides genomic resources and three approaches being used to mine microarray data from a wild-type strain cultured in liquid fumonisin production medium for 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. Taken together, these approaches demonstrate the power of microarray technology to provide information on different biological processes.

N2  - Background: Vitamin K modulates cytokines involved in bone turnover, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and osteoprotegerin in vitro. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess (1) associations between measures of vitamin K status [plasma phylloquinone and serum percentage of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (%ucOC)] and IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and (2) the effect of daily 500 µg phylloquinone supplementation for 3 y on cytokine concentrations. Design: Concentrations of IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and CRP and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured at baseline and after 3 y of follow-up in 379 healthy men and women (60-81 y; 58.5% women) participating in a randomized trial that studied the effect of vitamin K supplementation on bone loss. Results: Cross-sectionally, plasma phylloquinone was inversely associated with IL-6 and CRP, whereas serum %ucOC was inversely associated with IL-6. Osteoprotegerin was associated positively with plasma phylloquinone and inversely with %ucOC. No differences were observed in the 3-y change in IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and CRP concentrations between participants who received phylloquinone supplementation and those who did not. Overall, no association was observed between the 3-y changes in circulating cytokines and BMD. Conclusions: Poor vitamin K status was associated with high concentrations of cytokines involved in bone turnover, but vitamin K supplementation did not confer a decrease in cytokine concentrations. The healthy status of this cohort may explain a lack of effect of vitamin K supplementation on cytokine concentrations.

N2  - Background: The US Department of Agriculture Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM) is used for collecting 24-h dietary recalls in What We Eat In America, the dietary interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Because the data have important program and policy applications, it is essential that the validity of the method be tested. Objective: The accuracy of the AMPM was evaluated by comparing reported energy intake (EI) with total energy expenditure (TEE) by using the doubly labelled water (DLW) technique. Design: The 524 volunteers, aged 30-69 y, included an equal number of men and women recruited from the Washington, DC, area. Each subject was dosed with DLW on the first day of the 2-wk study period; three 24-h recalls were collected during the 2-wk period by using the AMPM. The first recall was conducted in person, and subsequent recalls were over the telephone. Results: Overall, the subjects underreported EI by 11% compared with TEE. Normal-weight subjects [body mass index (in kg/m2) &lt;25] underreported EI by &lt;3%. By using a linear mixed model, 95% CIs were determined for the ratio of EI to TEE. Approximately 78% of men and 74% of women were classified as acceptable energy reporters (within 95% CI of EI:TEE). Both the percentage by which energy was underreported and the percentage of subjects classified as low energy reporters (&lt;95% CI of EI:TEE) were highest for subjects classified as obese (body mass index &gt;30). Conclusions: Although the AMPM accurately reported EIs in normal-weight subjects, research is warranted to enhance its accuracy in overweight and obese persons.

N2  - This report briefly reviews existing methods for analyzing the vitamin D content of fortified and unfortified foods. The existing chemical methods are similar; all are time consuming, require experienced technicians, and have only been validated for a few materials (eg, dairy products or animal feed materials). This report also describes the lack of standard reference materials with certified values for vitamin D that laboratories need to guarantee the accuracy of existing analytic methods. Recently, the US Department of Agriculture, as part of a project to update the vitamin D values in the National Nutrient Database of Standard Reference, established an analytic methods committee to compare several existing vitamin D methods and to characterize 5 control materials (skim milk, processed cheese, cereal, orange juice, and salmon). Initial relative SDs for the 5 materials ranged from 35% to 50%. Elimination of systematic biases related to the methods and the standards yielded much more satisfactory relative SDs of 7% to 12%. This research has shown that existing methods for analyzing the vitamin D content in foods can produce accurate results. A new, simpler, and faster method, however, would greatly benefit the field. To guarantee accuracy, we need certified reference materials for foods.

N2  - Scientists need specific data on the amounts of vitamin D in foods and dietary supplements to facilitate the assessment of vitamin D dietary intake. This vitamin is available in foods both naturally and from fortification. The Nutrient Data Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is collaborating with vitamin D experts to review and develop methods for analyzing the vitamin D content of foods and to use these methods to analyse the vitamin D content of certain foods and dietary supplements. In this article, we review existing sources of vitamin D data on foods and dietary supplements, describe the USDA's Dietary Supplements Ingredients Database, and discuss the development of the USDA's vitamin D database for foods. In addition, we define the challenges and needs related to providing updated data on the vitamin D content of foods and supplements. After we analyse the vitamin D content of these food samples, we will disseminate the current values in the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (Internet: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata).

N2  - The objective of this article was to consider key evidence that treatment of vitamin D insufficiency has measurable clinical benefits for the musculoskeletal system in the elderly. The functional outcomes considered were increased bone mass, decreased rates of bone loss, improved muscle performance, reduced risk of falls, and reduced fracture incidence. Available evidence suggests that the elderly need a mean serum concentration of ≥65 nmol/L of vitamin D to improve muscle performance and reduce the risk of falling and ≥75 nmol/L to reduce the risk of fracture. Many elderly persons in the United States and elsewhere have serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations below these levels. For this reason, supplementation is likely to provide significant benefit to this segment of the population.

N2  - Objectives: In adults, adaptation to changes in magnesium intake is largely due to changes in fractional magnesium absorption and urinary magnesium excretion. We sought to examine whether these homeostatic mechanism also occurred in young children. Methods: Children, 12-48 m old were studied (n=30). They were adapted to a home diet representative of their usual magnesium intake for 7d then admitted for a stable isotope study. Children received 5 mg Mg-25 intravenously, and 10 mg Mg-26 orally (5 mg with breakfast and 5 mg with lunch). Magnesium absorption was calculated from the relative fractional excretion of the oral and intravenous isotopes in the urine samples. Endogenous fecal magnesium absorption was calculated in a subgroup from the fecal and urinary excretion of the intravenous tracer. Results: Magnesium intake (mean±SD; 106±25 mg/d) was significantly greater than the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) described by the Institute of Medicine in the US (65 mg/d, p&lt;0.0001). Across the range of intake studied, fractional magnesium absorption was significantly (P=0.0383) but weakly (r2=0.144) related to magnesium intake. Absolute magnesium absorption (the product of fractional absorption and intake) significantly increased as intake increased (r2=0.566, P&lt;0.0001). Urinary magnesium excretion was unrelated to magnesium intake (r2=0.036, P=0.31). Endogenous fecal magnesium excretion tended to increase as magnesium intake increased (r2=0.312, P=0.12). Magnesium retention (absolute absorption minus urinary and fecal losses) was positive in 26 of the 30 subjects studied, and was linearly related to magnesium intake (r2=0.157, P=0.0304). A magnesium intake of 52-78 mg/d would appear to be required to meet the needs for absorbed magnesium for half the children at this age range, suggesting that the current EAR is broadly appropriate. Conclusions: In young children, consuming magnesium intakes typical of the US population, fractional magnesium absorption is a major site of magnesium homeostasis, but magnesium retention increased linearly across the intake range studied. Our results support at EAR for magnesium of 55-80 mg/d and an RDA of 70-100 mg/d.

N2  - The objective of this research was to compare the suitability of three kinetic models for describing the survival of a cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes in ground beef under both isothermal and dynamic temperature conditions. Ground beef (93% lean), inoculated with a 4-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes, was subjected to heating at 57, 60, 63, or 66°C to develop isothermal kinetic models. Experimental data showed that the isothermal survival curves were not strictly linear and were downwardly concaved. The isothermal inactivation of L. monocytogenes in ground beef was better described by two nonlinear kinetic models, the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models. Analytical results showed that root mean square error values (RMSE) of the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models were 0.19 and 0.20 log(CFU/g), both significantly smaller than that of the linear model (0.48 log(CFU/g)). Under linear heating dynamic conditions, however, only the modified Gompertz model, with a RMSE of only 0.71 log(CFU/g), was suitable for describing the survival of the pathogen. Both linear and Weibull-type models grossly underestimated the survival of L. monocytogenes in ground beef during dynamic heating.

N2  - Objectives. High rates of overweight and obesity among low-income children have led some to question whether participation in US domestic food assistance programs contributes to this health problem. We use multiple years of data to examine trends in children's body weight and participation in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) or Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Specifically, we assess whether a consistent relationship between program participation and body weight exists over time. Methods. Data from multiple waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) are used to examine the relationship between children's body weight and food assistance programs between 1976 and 2002. Linear regression models are used to estimate BMI and logit models are used to predict the probabilities of at-risk of overweight and overweight. Food assistance program participants (either FSP or WIC participants depending on age) are compared with income eligible non-participants and higher income children. Results. Results show no systematic relationship over time between FSP participation and weight status for school-aged children (age 5-17). For children aged 2-4, no differences in weight status between WIC participants and eligible non-participants were found. However, recent data show some differences between WIC participants and higher income children. Conclusions. Our analysis does not find evidence of a consistent relationship between childhood obesity and participation in the FSP or WIC programs.

N2  - Food security - consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life - is essential for health and good nutrition. We examine differences between Canada and the United States in the prevalence and distribution of household-level, income-related food insecurity as a step toward understanding effects of economic, policy, and program factors on food security. We use nationally representative data on the food security of Canadian households from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.2 (CCHS 2.2) and United States households from the 2003, 2004, and 2005 Current Population Survey Food Security Supplements (CPS-FSS). The two surveys used the same 18-item Household Food Security Survey Module, but Health Canada and the United States Department of Agriculture combined responses in somewhat different ways to determine the food security status of households. We examine effects of the methodological differences. Then, applying the Health Canada classification protocol to the data from both countries, we compare Canadian and US food insecurity rates nationally and for selected subpopulations. Food insecurity was substantially less prevalent in Canada than in the United States (9.0% vs 14.1% using the Canadian adult food security measure). The difference was larger in households with children, for which the prevalence rate of food insecurity in Canada was about half that in the United States. These differences reflected primarily differences in food insecurity prevalence rates within each income adequacy range rather than differences in income distribution between the two countries.

N2  - An automated direct sample introduction technique coupled to comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (DSI-GC × GC/TOF-MS) was applied for the development of a relatively fast and easy analytical screening method for 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and 4 non-ortho polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish oil. Comparison of instrumental performance between DSI-GC × GC/TOF-MS and the traditional gas chromatographic high resolution mass spectrometric (GC-HRMS) method showed good agreement of results for standard solutions analyzed in blind fashion. Relatively high tolerance of the DSI technique for lipids in the final extracts enabled a streamlined sample preparation procedure that only required gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup with graphitized carbon black. The sample size for the method was 2 g of cod liver oil, which achieved limits of quantitation (LOQs) of 0.019-7.8 pg/g toxic equivalent quotients for the individual PCDD/Fs. Lower detection limits can be achieved by using larger sample size and scaling up the sample preparation procedure, but this adds to the labor, time, solvent consumption, and expense of the approach. However, the streamlined method yielded 0.94 pg/g and 2.3 pg/g LOQs for 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzofuran (TCDF) and 3,3′,4,4′,5-pentachloro biphenyl (CB126), which were sufficiently low for regulatory monitoring of 2 g samples. Therefore, instead of congener specific analysis, this streamlined analytical screening method for TCDF and CB126 has the potential to monitor fish oil contaminated with dioxin and dioxin-like PCBs at or above current food safety limits. Acceptable recoveries for nearly all analytes at three different spiking levels in fish oil samples were achieved with good repeatability.

N2  - The fate of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, or Escherichia coli O157:H7 were separately monitored both in and on soudjouk. Fermentation and drying alone reduced numbers of L. monocytogenes by 0.07 and 0.74 log10 CFU/g for sausages fermented to pH 5.3 and 4.8, respectively, whereas numbers of S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were reduced by 1.52 and 3.51 log10 CFU/g and 0.03 and 1.11 log10 CFU/g, respectively. When sausages fermented to pH 5.3 or 4.8 were stored at 4, 10, or 21°C, numbers of L. monocytogenes, S. typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 decreased by an additional 0.08-1.80, 0.88-3.74, and 0.68-3.17 log10 CFU/g, respectively, within 30 days. Storage for 90 days of commercially manufactured soudjouk that was sliced and then surface inoculated with L. monocytogenes, S. typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 generated average D-values of ca. 10.1, 7.6, and 5.9 days at 4°C; 6.4, 4.3, and 2.9 days at 10°C; 1.4, 0.9, and 1.6 days at 21°C; and 0.9, 1.4, and 0.25 days at 30°C. Overall, fermentation to pH 4.8 and storage at 21°C was the most effective treatment for reducing numbers of L. monocytogenes (2.54 log10 CFU/g reduction), S. typhimurium (≥5.23 log10 CFU/g reduction), and E. coli O157:H7 (3.48 log10 CFU/g reduction). In summary, soudjouk-style sausage does not provide a favorable environment for outgrowth/survival of these three pathogens.

N2  - Purpose of review: Irradiation doses of up to 1,000 Gy have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the preservation and disinfestation of fresh fruits and vegetables. This review examines the radiotolerance of harvested horticultural crops at doses &lt;1,000 Gy for the purposes of quarantine security and inhibition of growth, maturation and ripening of the crops. Main findings: The use of irradiation for shelf-life extension, disinfestation, sprout control or microbial safety holds promise for many fresh commodities, but slight variations in maturity and dosimetry must be carefully managed to achieve a beneficial effect. Often the effective dose is very close to the phytotoxic threshold. The adoption of low and generic doses for quarantine purposes will likely stimulate the use of irradiation for global trade in fresh produce. Directions for future research: As irradiation technology expands to include new and exotic crops, interactions between cultivar, maturity, preharvest conditions, storage temperature and irradiation dose should be determined for effects on quality, composition and shelf-life. Information on the radiotolerance of a diverse array of species used for cut flower and ornamental foliage is lacking. Thus, novel methods to minimise injury of radiosensitive crops should be developed. Research on combination treatments involving irradiation plus heat treatments, antimicrobial compounds, ethylene inhibitors, edible coatings or modified atmosphere packaging may reduce postharvest diseases and extend the shelf-life of irradiated crops. Finally, simulated shipping studies are needed, in which irradiation is included as one component of the integrated postharvest system.

N2  - Responding to mounting evidence of the association between whole-grain consumption and a reduced risk of heart problems and other diseases, as well as an increased probability of body weight maintenance, the US Government has strongly encouraged its citizens to increase consumption of whole grains. However, compared against the 2005 Federal dietary recommendations, in 1994-1996 only 6% of Americans met the current recommended whole-grain consumption. To narrow this huge gap between actual and recommended consumption of whole grains, considerable changes in consumer behaviour will be needed. A demand system with two censored consumption equations and endogenous food label use and nutrition knowledge variables is estimated to investigate the factors that affect the consumption of whole and refined grains. Food label use and nutrition knowledge are found to play important roles in the consumption of refined- and whole-grain products, as are sociodemographic variables. The results can be used to help develop effective nutrition education messages and targeting strategies to promote consumption of whole grains in Americans' diets.

N2  - Objective: Systemic loss of estradiol (E2) during menopause is associated with increased adiposity which can be prevented with E2 replacement. Rodent studies suggest that E2, or lack of, is a key mediator in menopause-related metabolic changes. We have previously demonstrated that E2 treatment produces a rapid, dose-dependent activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in murine skeletal muscle. Activation of AMPK is implicated in the therapeutic benefits of many insulin sensitizing agents including metformin and thiazolidinediones. Here, we expand our observations and provide novel data which demonstrate that in addition to E2, its metabolite 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-HE2), activate AMPK in C2C12 myotubes. Methods and Procedures: C2C12 myotubes were used to examine the effects on E2 and the by-products of its metabolism on AMPK activation. Results: Low concentrations of E2 (10 and 100 nmol/l) were found to increase AMPK phosphorylation by ~1.6-fold, while a higher concentration (10 µmol/l) resulted in a ~3.0-fold increase. In comparison to E2 treatment alone, incubation of myotubes with E2 and 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) (a CYP450 inhibitor that blocks metabolism of E2) caused AMPK activation to be enhanced at low E2 concentrations, but attenuated at higher concentrations. The effects of ABT suggested that one or more E2 metabolites contribute to the maximal activation of AMPK at high E2 concentrations. Indeed, the estrogen metabolite 2-HE2, but not 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2), directly activated AMPK in C2C12 myotubes. Discussion: We propose a model where E2, acting through its metabolite 2-HE2 and the estrogen receptors (ERs), activates AMPK in myotubes. Finally, activation is abolished when all E2 is metabolized to 2-ME2.

N2  - Objectives: Tristetraprolin (TTP) family proteins (TTP/ZFP36; ZFP36L1, ZFP36L2, ZFP36L3) destabilize adenylate uridylate - rich element - containing mRNAs encoding cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Little is known about the expression and insulin regulation of TTP and related genes in adipocytes. We analyzed the relative abundance of TTP family mRNAs in 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared to RAW264.7 macrophages and investigated insulin effects on the expression of 43 genes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Methods and Procedures: Insulin was added to mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Relative abundance of mRNA levels was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. TTP and ZFP36L1 proteins were detected by immunoblotting. Results: Zfp36l1 and Zfp36l2 genes were expressed at eight- to tenfold higher than Ttp in adipocytes. Zfp36l3 mRNA was detected at ~1% of Ttp mRNA levels in adipocytes and its low level expression was confirmed in RAW cells. Insulin at 10 and 100 nmol/l increased Ttp mRNA levels by five- to sevenfold, but decreased those of Zfp36l3 by 40% in adipocytes after a 30-min treatment. Immunoblotting showed that insulin induced TTP but did not affect ZFP36L1 protein levels in adipocytes. Insulin decreased mRNA levels of Vegf and a number of other genes in adipocytes. Discussion: Insulin induced Ttp mRNA and protein expression and decreased Vegf mRNA levels in adipocytes. Zfp36l3 mRNA was detected, for the first time, in cells other than mouse placenta and extraembryonic tissues. This study established a basis for the investigation of TTP and VEGF genes in the regulation of obesity and suggested that Vegf mRNA may be a target of TTP in fat cells.

N2  - Assessing the ability of a selenium (Se) sample to induce cellular glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in Se-deficient animals is the most commonly used method to determine Se bioavailability. Our goal is to establish a Se-deficient cell culture model with differential incorporation of Se chemical forms into GPx, which may complement the in vivo studies. In the present study, we developed a Se-deficient Caco-2 cell model with a serum gradual reduction method. It is well recognized that selenomethionine (SeMet) is the major nutritional source of Se; therefore, SeMet, selenite, or methylselenocysteine (SeMSC) was added to cell culture media with different concentrations and treatment time points. We found that selenite and SeMSC induced GPx more rapidly than SeMet. However, SeMet was better retained as it is incorporated into proteins in place of methionine; compared with 8-, 24-, or 48-h treatment, 72-h Se treatment was a more sensitive time point to measure the potential of GPx induction in all tested concentrations. Based on induction of GPx activity, the cellular bioavailability of Se from an extract of selenobroccoli after a simulated gastrointestinal digestion was comparable with that of SeMSC and SeMet. These in vitro data are, for the first time, consistent with previous published data regarding selenite and SeMet bioavailability in animal models and Se chemical speciation studies with broccoli. Thus, Se-deficient Caco-2 cell model with differential incorporation of chemical or food forms of Se into GPx provides a new tool to study the cellular mechanisms of Se bioavailability.

N2  - Fungi metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a number of detoxification processes, including the formation of sulfated and glycosidated conjugates. A class of aromatic compounds in grapefruit is the furanocoumarins (FCs), and their metabolism in humans is centrally involved in the "grapefruit/drug interactions." Thus far, the metabolism by fungi of the major FCs in grapefruit, including 6′, 7′-epoxybergamottin (EB), 6′, 7′-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB), and bergamottin (BM), has received little attention. In this study, Aspergillus niger was observed to convert EB into DHB and a novel water-soluble metabolite (WSM). Bergaptol (BT) and BM were also metabolized by A. niger to the WSM, which was identified as BT-5-sulfate using mass spectrometry, UV spectroscopy, chemical hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Similarly, the fungus had a capability of metabolizing xanthotoxol (XT), a structural isomer of BT, to a sulfated analog of BT-5-sulfate, presumably XT-8-sulfate. A possible enzyme-catalyzed pathway for the grapefruit FC metabolism involving the cleavage of the geranyl group and the addition of a sulfate group is proposed.

N2  - Three microbial inhibition-based screening methods, the fast antimicrobial screening test (FAST), the Premi® test, and the kidney inhibition swab (KISTM) test, were evaluated using penicillin G, sulfadimethoxine, oxytetracyline, tylosin, danofloxacin, streptomycin, neomycin, and spectinomycin at a range of fortified concentrations in beef kidney juice and beef serum. Each antibiotic was individually tested simultaneously using the different assays in replicate experiments. Detection threshold concentrations for each analyte in each screening assay were determined for the different matrices. Each assay gave a different detectability profile for the different antibiotics, with the largest differences related to neomycin, which was more sensitively detected by the FAST, and penicillin G, which was detected at lower levels by the Premi® and KISTM tests. In addition to practical considerations, analysts can use the information presented in this study to evaluate each kit for applicability to their monitoring needs.

AB  - The areas targeted for restoration are often the modified ecosystems that are rapidly becoming the planetary norm, and when ecosystem modification has been extensive, local genotypes may not be the most effective for repair. Here, local has value is presented as a paradigm for the restoration of such systems as a corollary to local is best for systems that have sustained less modification. In many cases, adaptation may be enhanced through genetic variation or applying artificial selection, particularly for generalist species. Ecologically appropriate plant materials are those that exhibit ecological fitness for their intended site, display compatibility with other members of the plant community, and demonstrate no invasive tendencies. They may address specific environmental challenges, rejuvenate ecosystem function, and improve the delivery of ecosystem services. Furthermore, they may be improved over time, thereby serving to ameliorate the increasingly challenging environments that typify many restoration sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plant genomes contain several hundred defensin-like (DEFL) genes that encode short cysteine-rich proteins resembling defensins, which are well known antimicrobial polypeptides. Little is known about the expression patterns or functions of many DEFLs because most were discovered recently and hence are not well represented on standard microarrays. We designed a custom Affymetrix chip consisting of probe sets for 317 and 684 DEFLs from Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, respectively for cataloging DEFL expression in a variety of plant organs at different developmental stages and during symbiotic and pathogenic associations. The microarray analysis provided evidence for the transcription of 71% and 90% of the DEFLs identified in Arabidopsis and Medicago, respectively, including many of the recently annotated DEFL genes that previously lacked expression information. Both model plants contain a subset of DEFLs specifically expressed in seeds or fruits. A few DEFLs, including some plant defensins, were significantly up-regulated in Arabidopsis leaves inoculated with Alternaria brassicicola or Pseudomonas syringae pathogens. Among these, some were dependent on jasmonic acid signaling or were associated with specific types of immune responses. There were notable differences in DEFL gene expression patterns between Arabidopsis and Medicago, as the majority of Arabidopsis DEFLs were expressed in inflorescences, while only a few exhibited root-enhanced expression. By contrast, Medicago DEFLs were most prominently expressed in nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Thus, our data document salient differences in DEFL temporal and spatial expression between Arabidopsis and Medicago, suggesting distinct signaling routes and distinct roles for these proteins in the two plant species.

AB  - Noroviruses (NoVs) are a leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. An in vitro model for NoV replication remains elusive, making study of the virus difficult. A previous study, which used a 3-dimensional (3-D) intestinal model derived from INT-407 cells reported NoV replication and extensive cytopathic effects (CPE). Using the same 3-D model, but with highly purified Norwalk virus (NV), we attempted to replicate this study. Our results showed no evidence of NV replication by real-time PCR of viral RNA or by immunocytochemical detection of viral structural and nonstructural proteins. Immunocytochemical analysis of the 3-D cultures also showed no detectable presence of histo-blood group antigens that participate in NV binding and host tropism. To determine the potential cause of CPE observed in the previous study, we exposed 3-D cultures to lipopolysaccharide concentrations consistent with contaminated stool samples and observed morphologic features similar to CPE. We conclude that the 3-D INT-407 model does not support NV replication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - While breast milk has unique health advantages for infants, the mechanisms by which it regulates the physiology of newborns are incompletely understood. miRNAs have been described as functioning transcellularly, and have been previously isolated in cell-free and exosomal form from bodily liquids (serum, saliva, urine) and tissues, including mammary tissue. We hypothesized that breast milk in general, and milk fat globules in particular, contain significant numbers of known and limited novel miRNA species detectable with massively parallel sequencing. Extracted RNA from lactating mothers before and following short-term treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) was smRNA-enriched. smRNA-Seq was performed to generate 124,110,646 36-nt reads. Of these, 31,102,927 (25%) exactly matched known human miRNAs; with relaxing of stringency, 74,716,151 (60%) matched known miRNAs including 308 of the 1018 (29%) mature miRNAs (miRBase 16.0). These miRNAs are predicted to target 9074 genes; the 10 most abundant of these predicted to target 2691 genes with enrichment for transcriptional regulation of metabolic and immune responses. We identified 21 putative novel miRNAs, of which 12 were confirmed in a large validation set that included cohorts of lactating women consuming enriched diets. Of particular interest, we observed that expression of several novel miRNAs were altered by the perturbed maternal diet, notably following a high-fat intake (p<0.05). Our findings suggest that known and novel miRNAs are enriched in breast milk fat globules, and expression of several novel miRNA species is regulated by maternal diet. Based on robust pathway mapping, our data supports the notion that these maternally secreted miRNAs (stable in the milk fat globules) play a regulatory role in the infant and account in part for the health benefits of breast milk. We further speculate that regulation of these miRNA by a high fat maternal diet enables modulation of fetal metabolism to accommodate significant dietary challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The disease development and population structure of Puccinia graminis f. sp. avenae, which causes stem rust on oats, were studied to investigate if sexual reproduction plays an important role in the epidemiology of the disease. The genetic population structure of P. graminis f. sp. avenae in Sweden was investigated by sampling 10 oat fields in July and August 2008 and seven fields during the same period in 2009. Nine single-pustule isolates were first used to test simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed for P. graminis f. sp. tritici. Eleven of the 68 tested SSR markers were useful for genotyping P. graminis f. sp. avenae. For the main study, DNA from single uredinia was extracted and the SSR markers were used to genotype 472 samples. Both allelic and genotypic diversity were high in all fields, indicating that P. graminis f. sp. avenae undergoes regular sexual reproduction in Sweden. No significant relationship between genetic and geographic distances was found. Disease development was studied on two farms during 2008 and 2009. The apparent infection rates ranged between 0·17 and 0·55, indicating the potential for rapid disease development within fields. The incidence of oat stem rust has increased recently in Sweden. One possible explanation is a resurgence of its alternate host, barberry ( Berberis spp.), after the repeal of the barberry eradication law in 1994. Barberry is present in several grain-producing areas in Sweden, which supports the conclusion that P. graminis f. sp. avenae undergoes regular sexual reproduction there. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ripening of tomato fruits is triggered by the plant hormone ethylene, but its effect is restricted by an unknown developmental cue to mature fruits containing viable seeds. To determine whether this cue involves epigenetic remodeling, we expose tomatoes to the methyltransferase inhibitor 5-azacytidine and find that they ripen prematurely. We performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing on fruit in four stages of development, from immature to ripe. We identified 52,095 differentially methylated regions (representing 1% of the genome) in the 90% of the genome covered by our analysis. Furthermore, binding sites for RIN, one of the main ripening transcription factors, are frequently localized in the demethylated regions of the promoters of numerous ripening genes, and binding occurs in concert with demethylation. Our data show that the epigenome is not static during development and may have been selected to ensure the fidelity of developmental processes such as ripening. Crop-improvement strategies could benefit by taking into account not only DNA sequence variation among plant lines, but also the information encoded in the epigenome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In semiarid western North American riparian ecosystems, increased drought and lower streamflows under climate change may reduce plant growth and recruitment, and favor drought-tolerant exotic species over mesic native species. We tested whether elevated atmospheric CO2 might ameliorate these effects by improving plant water-use efficiency., We examined the effects of CO2 and water availability on seedlings of two native ( Populus deltoides spp. monilifera, Salix exigua) and three exotic ( Elaeagnus angustifolia, Tamarix spp., Ulmus pumila) western North American riparian species in a CO2-controlled glasshouse, using 1-m-deep pots with different water-table decline rates., Low water availability reduced seedling biomass by 70-97%, and hindered the native species more than the exotics. Elevated CO2 increased biomass by 15%, with similar effects on natives and exotics. Elevated CO2 increased intrinsic water-use efficiency (Δ13Cleaf), but did not increase biomass more in drier treatments than wetter treatments., The moderate positive effects of elevated CO2 on riparian seedlings are unlikely to counteract the large negative effects of increased aridity projected under climate change. Our results suggest that increased aridity will reduce riparian seedling growth despite elevated CO2, and will reduce growth more for native Salix and Populus than for drought-tolerant exotic species.

AB  - Impaired root development caused by aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major cause of grain yield reduction in crops cultivated on acid soils, which are widespread worldwide. In sorghum, the major Al-tolerance locus, AltSB, is due to the function of SbMATE, which is an Al-activated root citrate transporter. Here we performed a molecular and physiological characterization of various AltSB donors and near-isogenic lines harboring various AltSB alleles. We observed a partial transfer of Al tolerance from the parents to the nearisogenic lines that was consistent across donor alleles, emphasizing the occurrence of strong genetic background effects related to AltSB. This reduction in tolerance was variable, with a 20% reduction being observed when highly Al-tolerant lines were the AltSB donors, and a reduction as great as 70% when other AltSB alleles were introgressed. This reduction in Al tolerance was closely correlated with a reduction in SbMATE expression in near-isogenic lines, suggesting incomplete transfer of loci acting in trans on SbMATE. Nevertheless, AltSB alleles from the highly Al-tolerant sources SC283 and SC566 were found to retain high SbMATE expression, presumably via elements present within or near the AltSB locus, resulting in significant transfer of the Al-tolerance phenotype to the derived near-isogenic lines. Allelic effects could not be explained by coding region polymorphisms, although occasional mutations may affect Al tolerance. Finally, we report on the extensive occurrence of alternative splicing for SbMATE, which may be an important component regulating SbMATE expression in sorghum by means of the nonsense-mediated RNA decay pathway.

AB  - Maize kernel oil is a valuable source of nutrition. Here we extensively examine the genetic architecture of maize oil biosynthesis in a genome-wide association study using 1.03 million SNPs characterized in 368 maize inbred lines, including 'high-oil' lines. We identified 74 loci significantly associated with kernel oil concentration and fatty acid composition (P < 1.8 × 10?6), which we subsequently examined using expression quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, linkage mapping and coexpression analysis. More than half of the identified loci localized in mapped QTL intervals, and one-third of the candidate genes were annotated as enzymes in the oil metabolic pathway. The 26 loci associated with oil concentration could explain up to 83% of the phenotypic variation using a simple additive model. Our results provide insights into the genetic basis of oil biosynthesis in maize kernels and may facilitate marker-based breeding for oil quantity and quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vibrio scophthalmi, a bacterial pathogen of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, exhibits strain-dependent virulence. No information is available on the comparative pathogenicity of different strains of V. scophthalmi toward olive flounder. In this study, high- and low-virulence strains (HVS and LVS, respectively) were compared in terms of their pathogenic characteristics, including adhesion and survival, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and extracellular products (ECP) of bacterial cells. The cell-mediated defense of macrophages from olive flounder against V. scophthalmi infection in vitro was also investigated. The results demonstrated that the SOD activity of the HVS was higher than that of the LVS. The number of viable cells of the HVS in serum increased by two log units after 18 h, whereas that of the LVS decreased. The number of cells of the HVS in skin mucus increased significantly while that of the LVS remained constant. The LD values of the HVS and LVS ECP toward olive flounder were 10.14 and 15.99 μg protein/g fish, respectively. The ECP were positive for naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, lipase, gelatinase, and leucine arylamidase. The extracellular O overflow and intracellular O concentration of macrophages induced by the HVS were lower than those induced by the LVS. Significantly more nitric oxide was produced by the HVS than by the LVS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Simultaneous measurement of N2 O and CO2 flux at the soil surface with photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy ( PAS) is gaining popularity due to portability, low maintenance, and ease-of-operation. However, the ability of PAS to measure N2 O with accuracy and precision similar to gas chromatography ( GC) is uncertain due to overlap in N2 O, CO2, and H2 O absorbance spectra combined with the large range in analyte concentrations. We tested the ability of six PAS units to simultaneously measure N2 O and CO2 gas concentrations and fluxes with accuracy and precision similar to two GC units. We also evaluated H2 O vapor and CO2 interferences with N2 O measurement. The accuracy and precision of standard gas concentration measurements with PAS and GC were similar. High water vapor (~26 600 ppm) and CO2 concentrations (~4500 ppm) did not interfere with N2 O measurement across the concentration range typically observed in static flux chambers at the soil surface (~0.5-3.0 ppm N2 O). On average, N2 O fluxes measured with the six PAS were 4.7% higher than one GC and 9.9% lower than the second GC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Diverse pathogens secrete effector proteins into plant cells to manipulate host cellular processes. Oomycete pathogens contain large complements of predicted effector genes defined by an RXLR host cell entry motif. The genome of Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa, downy mildew of Arabidopsis) contains at least 134 candidate RXLR effector genes. Only a small subset of these genes is conserved in related oomycetes from the Phytophthora genus. Here, we describe a comparative functional characterization of the Hpa RXLR effector gene HaRxL96 and a homologous gene, PsAvh163, from the Glycine max (soybean) pathogen Phytophthora sojae. HaRxL96 and PsAvh163 are induced during the early stages of infection and carry a functional RXLR motif that is sufficient for protein uptake into plant cells. Both effectors can suppress immune responses in soybean. HaRxL96 suppresses immunity in Nicotiana benthamiana, whereas PsAvh163 induces an HR-like cell death response in Nicotiana that is dependent on RARI and Hsp90.1. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing HaRxL96or PsAvh 163 exhibit elevated susceptibility to virulent and avirulent Hpa, as well as decreased callose deposition in response to non-pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae. Both effectors interfere with defense marker gene induction, but do not affect salicylic acid biosynthesis. Together, these experiments demonstrate that evolutionarily conserved effectors from different oomycete species can suppress immunity in plant species that are divergent from the source pathogen's host.

AB  - Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike most secondary plastid-bearing algae, miniaturized versions of the endosymbiont nuclei (nucleomorphs) persist in cryptophytes and chlorarachniophytes. To determine why, and to address other fundamental questions about eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis, we sequenced the nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans. Both genomes have >21,000?protein genes and are intron rich, and B. natans exhibits unprecedented alternative splicing for a single-celled organism. Phylogenomic analyses and subcellular targeting predictions reveal extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosymbiont cytosol of both algae. Mitochondrion-to-nucleus gene transfer still occurs in both organisms but plastid-to-nucleus and nucleomorph-to-nucleus transfers do not, which explains why a small residue of essential genes remains locked in each nucleomorph.

AB  - Evaluations of the local effects of global change are often confounded by the interactions of natural and anthropogenic factors that overshadow the effects of climate changes on ecosystems. Long-term watershed and natural elevation gradient studies at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and in the surrounding region show surprising results demonstrating the effects of climate change on hydrologic variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, streamflow, soil moisture); the importance of changes in phenology on water, carbon, and nitrogen fluxes during critical seasonal transition periods; winter climate change effects on plant and animal community composition and ecosystem services; and the effects of anthropogenic disturbances and land-use history on plant community composition. These studies highlight the value of long-term integrated research for assessments of the subtle effects of changing climate on complex ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Parasitic wasps are one of the most abundant natural enemies of insect pests and the most ecologically understudied. Agathirsia is a genus of solitary, parasitic wasps, restricted to arid regions of the south-western United States of America and Mexico. They often parasitise the larvae of lepidopteran (butterflies and moths) crop pests. Pollen analyses were conducted on 127 specimens of 19 Agathirsia species to determine possible food sources and plant taxa important to these beneficial insects. Pollen was examined with both light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen was removed from the head more than any other insect part (96% of the time). In the LM analyses, nearly 1700 pollen grains were recorded and assigned to 117 pollen types, 49% of which were Asteraceae. For the SEM analyses, pollen was identified but not counted. Eighty-eight pollen types were identified, of which 48% were Asteraceae. Pollen from 36 families, 65 genera and nine species were identified. Asteraceae pollen was classified into more genera than any other plant family. Common taxa included Ambrosia, Artemisia and Baccharis. The large diversity and high number of Asteraceae indicates that these plants can help sustain Agathirsia populations near crop fields, and ultimately reduce the amount of applied pesticides and save farmers time and money.

AB  - Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype-genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination., We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa and genotyped 120 trees from 10 subpopulations using 29 213 single-nucleotide polymorphisms., Significant geographic differentiation was present at multiple spatial scales, and range-wide latitudinal allele frequency gradients were strikingly common across the genome. The decay of linkage disequilibrium with physical distance was slower than expected from previous studies in Populus, with r2 dropping below 0.2 within 3-6 kb. Consistent with this, estimates of recent effective population size from linkage disequilibrium ( Ne ≈ 4000-6000) were remarkably low relative to the large census sizes of P. trichocarpa stands. Fine-scale rates of recombination varied widely across the genome, but were largely predictable on the basis of DNA sequence and methylation features., Our results suggest that genetic drift has played a significant role in the recent evolutionary history of P. trichocarpa. Most importantly, the extensive linkage disequilibrium detected suggests that genome-wide association studies and genomic selection in undomesticated populations may be more feasible in Populus than previously assumed.

AB  - Evolution may improve the invasiveness of populations, but it often remains unclear whether key adaptation events occur after introduction into the recipient habitat (i.e. post-introduction adaptation scenario), or before introduction within the native range (i.e. prior-adaptation scenario) or at a primary site of invasion (i.e. bridgehead scenario). We used a multidisciplinary approach to determine which of these three scenarios underlies the invasion of the tropical ant Wasmannia auropunctata in a Mediterranean region (i.e. Israel). Species distribution models ( SDM), phylogeographical analyses at a broad geographical scale and laboratory experiments on appropriate native and invasive populations indicated that Israeli populations followed an invasion scenario in which adaptation to cold occurred at the southern limit of the native range before dispersal to Israel. We discuss the usefulness of combining SDM, genetic and experimental approaches for unambiguous determination of eco-evolutionary invasion scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background:A new negative feedback loop has been proposed, which suggests connections between the circadian clock and SIRTUIN1 (SIRT1)-dependent functions associated with cell survival, development and metabolism.Objective:To develop a SIRT1 and circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK) combined genotype and to assess its associations with the chronotype of subjects and their potential resistance to weight loss in a behavioral treatment for obesity based on a Mediterranean diet.Design:Overweight /obese subjects (n=1465), aged 20-65 years, who attended outpatient obesity clinics, were genotyped for SIRT1 (rs1467568) and CLOCK (3111T>C, rs1801260). Anthropometric, biochemical and dietary-intake variables were analyzed. Effectiveness of the program and weight loss progression during 30 weeks of treatment was assessed.Results:We found highly consistent associations between the morning/evening questionnaires across the different genotype categories. Subjects carrying minor alleles at SIRT1 and CLOCK loci (R group) displayed a higher resistance to weight loss and a lower weekly weight loss rate as compared with homozygotes for both major alleles (P group). Significant differences were found across genotypes in weight loss progression during the 30 weeks of treatment (P=0.039). Dietary habits indicated that R carriers had a lower intake of total carbohydrates and monounsaturated fats, and a higher intake of saturated fats than those carrying the intermediate (M) and the P genotype (P=0.02). Plasma ghrelin concentrations were also significantly higher in subjects carrying the R genotype.Conclusion:Variants of both SIRT1 and CLOCK have an additive effect on resistance to weight loss that could be related to the chronotype of the subject, higher plasma levels of ghrelin and less adherence to Mediterranean diet patterns.

AB  - Zirconium tungstate ( ZrW2 O8) is a unique ceramic material that exhibits isotropic negative thermal expansion behavior, which can be produced at relatively low temperatures using hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent heat treatment. In this work, the effect of reaction conditions on morphology and crystallite size of ZrW2 O8 nanoparticles is characterized through careful selection of initial reactants, acid types and concentration, reaction time, and temperature. Three types of ZrW2 O8 nanoparticles with distinct morphologies and crystallite size scales were chosen to characterize and compare thermal and physical properties. Nano-sized ZrW2 O8 particles for two of the morphologies exhibit a negative coefficient of thermal expansion ( CTE) that is about 30% larger than the CTE of bulk ZrW2 O8 in the α-phase (ca. −11.4 vs.−8.8 ppm/°C). A dependence of CTE on crystallite size and crystalline structure is demonstrated. It is also found that the morphology of the zirconium tungstate has a significant effect on the pore structure and level of hydration in the nanoparticles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim  Canada thistle ( Cirsium arvense- Cardueae, Asteraceae) is one of the worst invasive plants world-wide. Native to Eurasia, its unintentional introduction into North America now threatens the native flora and is responsible for enormous agricultural losses. The goals of this study are to: (1) reconstruct the evolutionary history of C. arvense and estimate how often it may have colonized North America, (2) compare the genetic diversity between European and North American populations to detect signs of demographic bottlenecks and/or patterns of population admixture, and (3) conduct bioclimatic comparisons to infer eventual niche shifts following this species' introduction into North America. Location  Europe and North America. Methods  A total of 1522 individuals from 58 populations were investigated with six microsatellite markers. Estimates of heterozygosity ( HE) and allelic richness ( RS) were quantified for each population, and population structure was inferred via analyses of molecular variance (AMOVAs), principal components analyses (PCAs), Mantel tests and Bayesian clustering analyses. Climatic niche spaces were based on 19 bioclimatic variables extracted from approximately 32,000 locations covering the entire range, and compared using PCA and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results  Although there is evidence of multiple introductions from divergent European lineages, North American populations of C. arvense exhibited significantly lower levels of genetic diversity than their putative ancestors. Bioclimatic comparisons pointed to a high degree of niche conservatism during invasion, but indicated that genotypes from the former USSR and Central European mountain chains were probably best adapted to invade North America upon entry into the continent. Main conclusions  Genetic and historical data suggest that C. arvense first entered North America from Western Europe with the first European settlers, and was later introduced from Eastern Europe into the prairie states during the agricultural boom. The species went through a significant bottleneck following its introduction into the New World, but the level of genetic diversity remained high owing to admixture between genetically differentiated lineages and to a highly efficient outcrossing breeding system.

AB  - The study of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infection is needed, not only to understand the disease process but also to understand the mechanisms by which MG vaccines protect the host. Many model systems have been used to study the MG disease process. This work compared two different routes of infection (intratracheal versus eye drop) in commercial pullets, looking for differences in the pathology (air sac and tracheal lesion scores, and tracheal mucosal thickness) and the humoral immune response (measured by serum plate agglutination) of the host. The impact of concurrent infectious bronchitis virus vaccination on disease outcomes was also determined. Results showed that the intratracheal route of MG infection caused increased air sac and tracheal lesion scores and tracheal mucosal thickness at one week post infection, whereas the eye drop route produced no noticeable pathology. However, tracheal mucosal thicknesses of intratracheally challenged pullets were not statistically different from those of the eye drop challenged or control pullets at two and three weeks post infection. Concurrent infectious bronchitis virus vaccination had a negligible outcome on disease pathology. Vaccination of specific-pathogen-free chickens with the F-strain MG vaccine completely protected them against the effects of MG intratracheal infectious challenge, as evidenced by a lack of significant difference in air sac and tracheal lesion scores and tracheal mucosal thickness with those of unchallenged media control chickens.

AB  - Aims: Past studies have demonstrated that hyperaccumulators absorb Ni from the same labile pools in soil as normal plant species. This study investigated whether the Ni hyperaccumulator plant Alyssum corsicum possesses distinct extraction mechanisms for different Ni species present in soils. Different Ni species have different solubilities and potential bioavailabilities to roots. Methods: Uptake of Ni in shoots of A. corsicum was analyzed after four weeks of plant growth in nutrient solution with 17 different Ni compounds or soils. Results: The results indicate that Ni uptake is related to Ni solubility and plant transpiration rate. The most soluble compounds had the highest Ni uptake, with the exception of Ni(PO), Ni phyllosilicate, Ni-acid birnessite which showed a low solubility but a relatively high plant uptake and transpiration rate. In serpentine soils and insoluble NiO plant transpiration rate was high but uptake was very low and statistically comparable to the control. Conclusions: It appears that Ni uptake is driven by convection, which depends on the initial concentration of Ni in solution and the plant transpiration rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper presents a novel approach used to develop the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) commercial building energy asset rating tool. Asset rating, a national standard for a voluntary energy rating system, is intended to help building owners better understand the installed system performance and the total energy use. The asset rating tool allows users to benchmark their buildings against peers and other market players to understand the relative efficiency of different buildings in a way that is distinct from their operations and occupancy. A simplified data collection integrated with full-scale energy-modeling method is employed to disaggregate building energy information and will include a mechanism for identifying energy improvement opportunities. A more detailed modeling approach to formulate an asset rating would most likely provide the greatest and accuracy; while a simplified model approach requires less user investment for collecting data. However, our market research suggested that an asset rating program needs to consider not only the applicability and accuracy across the breadth of commercial buildings but also ease of use. To take the above design drivers into account, we are developing an asset rating tool, a web-based application with a simplified user interface built on an inference engine and a centralized modeling engine. The method presented in this paper separates model inputs into categories based on their overall energy impact, difficulty level of data collection, and variability among buildings. We outline an approach that will allow great flexibility in terms of how many and which of the different categories of variables must be found to produce an accurate energy model. The approach will allow all key variables to be inferred from some reduced set of variables while at the same time allowing a user to enter many more variables if he or she has reliable details on them. The asset rating tool is not just a rating tool, but is aimed at providing a cost-effective means for building owners and operators to gain insight into the energy efficiency potential of their buildings. The development of such a tool enables reduced modeling time and expertise requirements while maintaining accuracy and the ability to support the variability and complexity that exist in buildings.

T1  - Physcomitrella patens activates reinforcement of the cell wall, programmed cell death and accumulation of evolutionary conserved defence signals, such as salicylic acid and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid, but not jasmonic acid, upon Botrytis cinerea infection.

AB  - SUMMARY The moss Physcomitrella patens is an evolutionarily basal model system suitable for the analysis of plant defence responses activated after pathogen assault. Upon infection with the necrotroph Botrytis cinerea, several defence mechanisms are induced in P. patens, including the fortification of the plant cell wall by the incorporation of phenolic compounds and the induced expression of related genes. Botrytis cinerea infection also activates the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cell death with hallmarks of programmed cell death in moss tissues. Salicylic acid (SA) levels also increase after fungal infection, and treatment with SA enhances transcript accumulation of the defence gene phenylalanine ammonia-lyase ( PAL) in P. patens colonies. The expression levels of the genes involved in 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) synthesis, including lipoxygenase ( LOX) and allene oxide synthase ( AOS), increase in P. patens gametophytes after pathogen assault, together with a rise in free linolenic acid and OPDA concentrations. However, jasmonic acid (JA) could not be detected in healthy or infected tissues of this plant. Our results suggest that, although conserved defence signals, such as SA and OPDA, are synthesized and are probably involved in the defence response of P. patens against B. cinerea infection, JA production appears to be missing. Interestingly, P. patens responds to OPDA and methyl jasmonate by reducing moss colony growth and rhizoid length, suggesting that jasmonate perception is present in mosses. Thus, P. patens can provide clues with regard to the evolution of different defence pathways in plants, including signalling and perception of OPDA and jasmonates in nonflowering and flowering plants.

AB  - Background/Objectives:Flavanols may provide protection against insulin resistance, but little is known about the amounts and types of flavanols that may be efficacious.Subjects/Methods:This study was designed to determine whether cocoa flavanols, over a range of intakes, improve biomarkers of glucose regulation, inflammation and hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance. As an adjunct, green tea and cocoa flavanols were compared for their ability to modulate these biomarkers. In a randomized crossover design, 20 adults consumed a controlled diet for 5 days along with four cocoa beverages containing 30-900 mg flavanol per day, or tea matched to a cocoa beverage for monomeric flavanol content.Results:Cocoa beverages produced no significant changes in glucose, insulin, total area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for glucose or total insulin AUC. As the dose of cocoa flavanols increased, total 8-isoprostane concentrations were lowered (linear contrast, P=0.02), as were C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (linear contrast, P=0.01). The relationship between cocoa flavanol levels and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations was quadratic, suggesting that a maximum effective dose was achieved (quadratic contrast, P=0.01). There were no significant effects on measured indices of glucose regulation, nor on those of total 8-isoprostane, CRP and IL-6 concentrations, when cocoa and green tea were compared. However, relative to cocoa, green tea lowered fibrinogen concentrations (P=0.0003).Conclusions:Short-term intake of cocoa and green tea flavanols does not appear to improve glucose metabolism; they do affect selected markers of one or more measures of oxidative stress, inflammation or hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance.

AB  - The infiltrations of synthetic coal slag into 99% Al2 O3, 85% Al2 O3-15% SiO2, and 90% Cr2 O3-10% Al2 O3 refractories with a temperature gradient induced along the penetration direction were compared to one another. The infiltrating slag was synthesized with a composition that is representative of an average of the ash contents from U S coal feedstock. Experiments were conducted with a hot-face temperature of 1450°C in a CO/ CO2 atmosphere. Minimal penetration was observed in the 90% Cr2 O3-10% Al2 O3 material because interactions between the refractory and the slag produced a protective layer of Fe Cr2 O4, which impeded slag flow into the bulk of the refractory. After 5 h, the 99% Al2 O3 sample exhibited an average penetration of 12.7 mm whereas the 85% Al2 O3-15% SiO2 sample showed 3.8 mm. Slag infiltrated into the 99% Al2 O3 and 85% Al2 O3-15% SiO2 refractory systems by dissolving the respective refractories' matrix materials, which consist of fine Al2 O3 particles and an amorphous alumino-silicate phase. Due to enrichment in SiO2, a network-former, infiltration into the 85% Al2 O3-15% SiO2 system yielded a higher viscosity slag and hence, a shallower penetration depth. The results suggest that slag infiltration can be limited by interactions with the refractory through the formation of either a solid layer that physically impedes fluid flow or a more viscous slag that retards infiltration.

AB  - Assisted migration (AM) is often presented as a strategy to save species that are imminently threatened by rapid climate change. This conception of AM, which has generated considerable controversy, typically proposes the movement of narrowly distributed, threatened species to suitable sites beyond their current range limits. However, existing North American forestry operations present an opportunity to practice AM on a larger scale, across millions of hectares, with a focus on moving populations of widely distributed, nonthreatened tree species within their current range limits. Despite these differences (and many others detailed herein), these two conceptions of AM have not been clearly distinguished in the literature, which has added confusion to recent dialogue and debate. Here, we aim to facilitate clearer communication on this topic by detailing this distinction and encouraging a more nuanced view of AM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors are fundamental for bacterial adaptation to distinct environments and for survival under different stress conditions. The emerging pathogen Arcobacter butzleri possesses seven putative pairs of σ/anti-σ factors belonging to the ECF family. Here, we report the identification of the genes regulated by five out of the seven A. butzleri ECF σ factors. Three of the ECF σ factors play an apparent role in transport, energy generation and the maintenance of redox balance. Several genes like the nap, sox and tct genes are regulated by more than one ECF σ factor, indicating that the A. butzleri ECF σ factors form a network of overlapping regulons. In contrast to other eubacteria, these A. butzleri ECF regulons appear to primarily regulate responses to changing environments in order to meet metabolic needs instead of an obvious role in stress adaptation.

AB  - The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, entered the United States of America in the early twentieth century and became a major pest in cotton, Gossypium spp. Shortly after the passage of Tropical Storm Erin on 16 August 2007 through the South Texas/Winter Garden boll weevil eradication zone, over 150 boll weevils were captured in the Southern Rolling Plains (SRP) eradication zone that was essentially weevil-free since 2003. Pollen analyses were made of the SRP weevils and weevils collected in two suspected source zones, Cameron (Southern Blacklands eradication zone) and Uvalde (Winter Garden eradication zone). An additional examination of the palynological evidence and examination of additional pollen residue shed new light on this event and strengthens the conclusion that the Uvalde area was the source of the SRP weevils. A total of 192 pollen grains from 39 taxa were found in the SRP weevils: 1904 pollen grains from ten taxa from the Cameron weevils and 148 grains from 28 taxa in the Uvalde weevils. The SRP weevils shared 16 taxa, including Phermeranthus sp. (flameflower) with the Uvalde weevils and only five taxa with the Cameron weevils. Common taxa between SRP and Uvalde weevils and the lack of the dominant ‘low spine’ Asteraceae that occurred in all Cameron samples confirm that the SRP weevils originated from the South Texas/Winter Garden zone. Problems associated with this type of research are similar to those in forensic palynology. These problems include the unknown origin of the weevils, pollen contamination and care and storage of the samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Colletotrichum species are fungal pathogens that devastate crop plants worldwide. Host infection involves the differentiation of specialized cell types that are associated with penetration, growth inside living host cells (biotrophy) and tissue destruction (necrotrophy). We report here genome and transcriptome analyses of Colletotrichum higginsianum infecting Arabidopsis thaliana and Colletotrichum graminicola infecting maize. Comparative genomics showed that both fungi have large sets of pathogenicity-related genes, but families of genes encoding secreted effectors, pectin-degrading enzymes, secondary metabolism enzymes, transporters and peptidases are expanded in C. higginsianum. Genome-wide expression profiling revealed that these genes are transcribed in successive waves that are linked to pathogenic transitions: effectors and secondary metabolism enzymes are induced before penetration and during biotrophy, whereas most hydrolases and transporters are upregulated later, at the switch to necrotrophy. Our findings show that preinvasion perception of plant-derived signals substantially reprograms fungal gene expression and indicate previously unknown functions for particular fungal cell types.

AB  - Dynamic global vegetation models simulate feedbacks of vegetation change on ecosystem processes, but direct, experimental evidence for feedbacks that result from atmospheric CO2 enrichment is rare. We hypothesized that feedbacks from species change would amplify the initial CO2 stimulation of aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP) of tallgrass prairie communities. Communities of perennial forb and C4 grass species were grown for 5 years along a field CO2 gradient (250-500 μL L−1) in central Texas USA on each of three soil types, including upland and lowland clay soils and a sandy soil. CO2 enrichment increased community ANPP by 0-117% among years and soils and increased the contribution of the tallgrass species Sorghastrum nutans (Indian grass) to community ANPP on each of the three soil types. CO2-induced changes in ANPP and Sorghastrum abundance were linked. The slope of ANPP- CO2 regressions increased between initial and final years on the two clay soils because of a positive feedback from the increase in Sorghastrum fraction. This feedback accounted for 30-60% of the CO2-mediated increase in ANPP on the upland and lowland clay soils during the final 3 years and 1 year of the experiment, respectively. By contrast, species change had little influence on the ANPP- CO2 response on the sandy soil, possibly because Sorghastrum increased largely at the expense of a functionally similar C4 grass species. By favoring a mesic C4 tall grass, CO2 enrichment approximately doubled the initial enhancement of community ANPP on two clay soils. The CO2-stimulation of grassland productivity may be significantly underestimated if feedbacks from plant community change are not considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Access to clean, affordable and reliable energy has been a cornerstone of the world's increasing prosperity and economic growth since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Our use of energy in the twenty-first century must also be sustainable. Solar and water-based energy generation, and engineering of microbes to produce biofuels are a few examples of the alternatives. This Perspective puts these opportunities into a larger context by relating them to a number of aspects in the transportation and electricity generation sectors. It also provides a snapshot of the current energy landscape and discusses several research and development opportunities and pathways that could lead to a prosperous, sustainable and secure energy future for the world.

AB  - Many animals convert β-carotene to retinol to meet their vitamin A (VA) requirement. However, this pathway is inefficient in many carnivores. This study quantified the plasma response to a single oral dose of [2H8]-β-carotene in adult domestic cats, including measurement of [2H4]-retinol derived from the dose. Cats were fed with either a control diet containing adequate VA ( n = 5) or a VA-devoid diet ( n = 5) for 28 days. An oral dose of either 5 mg/kg body weight (BW) ( n = 4) or 10 mg/kg BW ( n = 6) of [2H8]-β-carotene was administered on day 28. Plasma samples were collected prior to dosing and at 6, 12, 24, 32, 48, 72, 120, 168 and 216 h post-dose. Plasma retinoids and β-carotene were measured using HPLC and [2H4]-retinol by GC-ECNCI-MS (gas chromatography/electron capture negative chemical ionization/mass spectrometry). β-carotene was undetectable in plasma prior to dosing. Post-dose, mean peak plasma β-carotene was 0.37 ± 0.06 nmol/ml at 9.0 ± 1.8 h following the dose, while [2H4]-retinol peaked at 3.71 ± 0.69 pmol/ml at 55.2 ± 16.3 h. The ratio per cent of total area under the curve for [2H4]-retinol compared with the β-carotene response was 4.6 ± 2.6%. There was little effect of diet or dose on the β-carotene or [2H4]-retinol responses. The appearance of [2H4]-retinol in plasma indicates that cats are capable of converting β-carotene to active VA. Conversion efficiency was not calculated in this study, but it is likely inadequate to meet cats' VA requirement without the inclusion of preformed VA in the diet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Current methods in DNA technology can detect single nucleotide polymorphisms with measurable accuracy using several different approaches appropriate for different uses. If there are even single nucleotide differences that are invariant markers of the species, we can accomplish identification through rapid DNA-based tests. The question of whether we can reliably detect and identify species of Aspergillus and Penicillium turns mainly upon the completeness of our alpha taxonomy, our species concepts, and how well the available DNA data coincide with the taxonomic diversity in the family Trichocomaceae. No single gene is yet known that is invariant within species and variable between species as would be optimal for the barcode approach. Data are published that would make an MLST approach to isolate identification possible in the most well-studied clades of Aspergillus and Penicillium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18 (Suppl. 4): 62-66 Abstract Improvements in high-throughput sequencing technologies have spurred a large number of studies aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the composition and the dynamics in gut microbiota and its associations with various human diseases, especially those in the intestinal tract. Here we briefly summarize results from three different such studies from our group, all of which used 454 based high-throughput 16S rRNA sequence analysis combined with other microbiota profiling methods to determine faecal microbiota composition. In the first study, a controlled feeding trial, we establish that energy gain from the consumption of up to 50 g/day of a resistant maltodextrin depends on the prevalent microbiota composition. Over time, resistant maltodextrin supplementation increased the proportion of total faecal bacteria as well as potentially beneficial bifidobacteria. Thus, energy gain from resistant maltodextrin in an individual appears to vary over time and depend on the adaptation of gut microbiota. We then illustrate the power of molecular tools for identifying (i) distortions in early microbiota development in pre-term infants and the presence of potentially novel pathogens contributing to necrotizing enterocolitis and (ii) a specific microbiota signature, based on discriminant analysis of the 16S rRNA sequences, that correlates with the prevalence of an early risk marker associated with colorectal carcinogenesis, intestinal adenoma, in elderly adults.

AB  - The majority of the world's forests are used for multiple purposes, which often include the potentially conflicting goals of timber production and biodiversity conservation. A scientifically validated management approach that can reduce such conflicts is retention forestry, an approach modeled on natural processes, which emerged in the last 25 years as an alternative to clearcutting. A portion of the original stand is left unlogged to maintain the continuity of structural and compositional diversity. We detail retention forestry's ecological role, review its current practices, and summarize the large research base on the subject. Retention forestry is applicable to all forest Homes, complements conservation in reserves, and represents bottom-up conservation through forest manager involvement. A research challenge is to identify thresholds for retention amounts to achieve desired outcomes. We define key issues for future development and link retention forestry with land-zoning allocation at various scales, expanding its uses to forest restoration and the management of uneven-age forests.

AB  - Whereas breeders have exploited diversity in maize for yield improvements, there has been limited progress in using beneficial alleles in undomesticated varieties. Characterizing standing variation in this complex genome has been challenging, with only a small fraction of it described to date. Using a population genetics scoring model, we identified 55 million SNPs in 103 lines across pre-domestication and domesticated Zea mays varieties, including a representative from the sister genus Tripsacum. We find that structural variations are pervasive in the Z. mays genome and are enriched at loci associated with important traits. By investigating the drivers of genome size variation, we find that the larger Tripsacum genome can be explained by transposable element abundance rather than an allopolyploid origin. In contrast, intraspecies genome size variation seems to be controlled by chromosomal knob content. There is tremendous overlap in key gene content in maize and Tripsacum, suggesting that adaptations from Tripsacum (for example, perennialism and frost and drought tolerance) can likely be integrated into maize.

AB  - Domestication and plant breeding are ongoing 10,000-year-old evolutionary experiments that have radically altered wild species to meet human needs. Maize has undergone a particularly striking transformation. Researchers have sought for decades to identify the genes underlying maize evolution, but these efforts have been limited in scope. Here, we report a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of modern maize based on the genome-wide resequencing of 75 wild, landrace and improved maize lines. We find evidence of recovery of diversity after domestication, likely introgression from wild relatives, and evidence for stronger selection during domestication than improvement. We identify a number of genes with stronger signals of selection than those previously shown to underlie major morphological changes. Finally, through transcriptome-wide analysis of gene expression, we find evidence both consistent with removal of cis-acting variation during maize domestication and improvement and suggestive of modern breeding having increased dominance in expression while targeting highly expressed genes.

AB  - Anthocyanins are red and violet pigments that color flowers, fruits and epidermal tissues in virtually all flowering plants. A single order, Caryophyllales, contains families in which an unrelated family of pigments, the betalains, color tissues normally pigmented by anthocyanins. Here we show that CYP76AD1 encoding a novel cytochrome P450 is required to produce the red betacyanin pigments in beets. Gene silencing of CYP76AD1 results in loss of red pigment and production of only yellow betaxanthin pigment. Yellow betalain mutants are complemented by transgenic expression of CYP76AD1, and an insertion in CYP76AD1 maps to the R locus that is responsible for yellow versus red pigmentation. Finally, expression of CYP76AD1 in yeast verifies its position in the betalain biosynthetic pathway. Thus, this cytochrome P450 performs the biosynthetic step that provides the cyclo-DOPA moiety of all red betacyanins. This discovery will contribute to our ability to engineer this simple, nutritionally valuable pathway into heterologous species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is generated from glutamate by the action of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and characterized by hypotensive, diuretic, and tranquilizing effects in humans and animals. The production of GABA by lactic acid starter bacteria would enhance the functionality of fermented dairy foods including cheeses and yogurt. The survey of 42 strains of the yogurt starter culture Streptococcus thermophilus by PCR techniques indicated the presence of a glutamate decarboxylase gene ( gadB) in 16 strains. DNA sequencing data indicated that the GAD/GABA antiporter locus ( gadB/gadC) in GAD S. thermophilus strains is flanked by transposase elements (5′ and 3′) and positioned between the luxS (5′) and the HD-superfamily hydrolase genes (3′). The PCR amplification product of a ca. 2-kb genomic fragment that included the gadB and its putative promoter region was inserted into a shuttle vector, which was used to transform Escherichia coli DH5α. Subsequently, the recombinant plasmid pMEU5a-1/ gadB (7.24 kb) was electrotransformed into the GAD-negative strain S. thermophilus ST128. The ST128 transformants carrying the plasmid-encoded gadB produced functional GAD enzyme as evidenced by the conversion of glutamate to GABA at a rate similar to strains with the gadB/gadC operon located on the chromosome. The results demonstrated the potential to impart to non-GABA-producing strains of S. thermophilus and other lactic acid bacteria the GAD phenotype that improves their appeal in possible applications in the development of health-promoting functional foods.

AB  - In 2005, massive mortality occurred in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus farms in Korea, and five isolates were collected from diseased fish. In this study, microbiological and pathogenic characteristics of these isolates were studied. The isolates gave negative results in lysine and ornithine decarboxylase, ortho-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside, and citrate tests, and positive results in urease, esculinase, and nitrate reduction tests. The isolates produced acid from adipate, fructose, d-glucose, and maltose, and gave positive results in alkaline phosphatase, esterase lipase, leucine arylamidase, and naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase. According to genetic analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 98-100 % identity with both Vibrio scophthalmi and V. ichthyoenteri. The dnaJ gene sequences presented a higher identity with V. scophthalmi than with V. ichthyoenteri. Thus, the isolates were identified as V. scophthalmi. Pathogenicity of the five isolates in olive flounder was different and LD values were from 10 to 10 CFU/g fish. Symptoms included darkening of skin, hemorrhage of liver and intestine, ascites, and distended abdomen. Histopathological changes included hemopoiesis dilatation and epithelial hyaline droplets in kidney, macrophage infiltration and ellipsoid dilatation in spleen, vascular dilatation, submucosal edema, and serosa inflammation of intestine. Cumulative mortality was 25 % for fish singly infected by isolate A19008 or Streptococcus parauberis, and increased to 87.5 % in super-infection group with these two pathogens.

AB  - Acetoacetyl CoA thiolase (AACT, EC 2.3.1.9) catalyzes the condensation of two acetyl CoA molecules to form acetoacetyl CoA. Two AACT-encoding genes, At5g47720 ( AACT1) and At5g48230 ( AACT2), were functionally identified in the Arabidopsis genome by direct enzymological assays and functional expression in yeast. Promoter::GUS fusion experiments indicated that AACT1 is primarily expressed in the vascular system and AACT2 is highly expressed in root tips, young leaves, top stems and anthers. Characterization of T-DNA insertion mutant alleles at each AACT locus established that AACT2 function is required for embryogenesis and for normal male gamete transmission. In contrast, plants lacking AACT1 function are completely viable and show no apparent growth phenotypes, indicating that AACT1 is functionally redundant with respect to AACT2 function. RNAi lines that express reduced levels of AACT2 show pleiotropic phenotypes, including reduced apical dominance, elongated life span and flowering duration, sterility, dwarfing, reduced seed yield and shorter root length. Microscopic analysis reveals that the reduced stature is caused by a reduction in cell size and fewer cells, and male sterility is caused by loss of the pollen coat and premature degeneration of the tapetal cells. Biochemical analyses established that the roots of AACT2 RNAi plants show quantitative and qualitative alterations in phytosterol profiles. These phenotypes and biochemical alterations are reversed when AACT2 RNAi plants are grown in the presence of mevalonate, which is consistent with the role of AACT2 in generating the bulk of the acetoacetyl CoA precursor required for the cytosol-localized, mevalonate-derived isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway.

AB  - Soils in boreal forests contain large stocks of carbon. Plants are the main source of this carbon through tissue residues and root exudates. A major part of the exudates are allocated to symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi. In return, the plant receives nutrients, in particular nitrogen from the mycorrhizal fungi. To capture the nitrogen, the fungi must at least partly disrupt the recalcitrant organic matter-protein complexes within which the nitrogen is embedded. This disruption process is poorly characterized. We used spectroscopic analyses and transcriptome profiling to examine the mechanism by which the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus degrades organic matter when acquiring nitrogen from plant litter. The fungus partially degraded polysaccharides and modified the structure of polyphenols. The observed chemical changes were consistent with a hydroxyl radical attack, involving Fenton chemistry similar to that of brown-rot fungi. The set of enzymes expressed by Pa. involutus during the degradation of the organic matter was similar to the set of enzymes involved in the oxidative degradation of wood by brown-rot fungi. However, Pa. involutus lacked transcripts encoding extracellular enzymes needed for metabolizing the released carbon. The saprotrophic activity has been reduced to a radical-based biodegradation system that can efficiently disrupt the organic matter-protein complexes and thereby mobilize the entrapped nutrients. We suggest that the released carbon then becomes available for further degradation and assimilation by commensal microbes, and that these activities have been lost in ectomycorrhizal fungi as an adaptation to symbiotic growth on host photosynthate. The interdependence of ectomycorrhizal symbionts and saprophytic microbes would provide a key link in the turnover of nutrients and carbon in forest ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The current conditions of many seasonally dry forests in the western and southern United States, especially those that once experienced low- to moderate-intensity fire regimes, leave them uncharacteristically susceptible to high-severity wildfire. Both prescribed fire and its mechanical surrogates are generally successful in meeting short-term fuel-reduction objectives such that treated stands are more resilient to high-intensity wildfire. Most available evidence suggests that these objectives are typically accomplished with few unintended consequences, since most ecosystem components (vegetation, soils, wildlife, bark beetles, carbon sequestration) exhibit very subtle effects or no measurable effects at all. Although mechanical treatments do not serve as complete surrogates for fire, their application can help mitigate costs and liability in some areas. Desired treatment effects on fire hazards are transient, which indicates that after fuel-reduction management starts, managers need to be persistent with repeated treatment, especially in the faster-growing forests in the southern United States.

AB  - Co-cultivation of the JM/102W strain of Marek's disease virus (MDV) with reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) resulted in the generation of a recombinant MDV containing the REV long terminal repeat (LTR) named the RM1 strain of MDV, a strain that was highly attenuated for oncogenicity but induced severe bursal and thymic atrophy. We hypothesize that the phenotypic changes were solely due to the LTR insertion. Furthermore, we hypothesize that insertion of REV LTR into an analogous location in a different MDV would result in a similar phenotypic change. To test these hypotheses, we inserted the REV LTR into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of a very virulent strain of MDV, Md5, and designated the virus rMd5-RM1-LTR. The rMd5-RM1-LTR virus and the rMd5 virus were passaged in duck embryo fibroblast cells for up to 40 passages before pathogenicity studies. Susceptible chickens were inoculated intra-abdominally at hatch with the viruses rMd5-RM1-LTR, rMd5 BAC parental virus, wild-type strain Md5, or strain RM1 of MDV. The rMd5-RM1-LTR virus was attenuated at cell culture passage 40, whereas the rMd5 BAC without RM1 LTR retained its pathogenicity at cell culture passage 40. Using polymerase chain analysis, the RM1 LTR insert was detected in MDV isolated from buffy coat cells collected from chickens inoculated with rMd5-RM1-LTR, but only at 1 week post inoculation. The data suggest that the presence of the RM1 LTR insert within MDV genome for 1 week post inoculation with virus at hatch is sufficient to cause a reduction in pathogenicity of strain Md5 of MDV.

AB  - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA, experienced notable outbreaks of rabies caused by a bat rabies virus variant in carnivore species in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009. The most recent epizootic involved transmission among skunk and fox populations and human exposures. Multiple, wide-ranging control efforts and health communications outreach were instituted in 2009, including a household survey given to community members. Although the Flagstaff community is knowledgeable about rabies and the ongoing outbreaks in general, gaps in knowledge about routes of exposure and potential hosts remain. Future educational efforts should include messages on the dangers of animal translocation and a focus on veterinarians and physicians as valuable sources for outreach. These results will be useful to communities experiencing rabies outbreaks as well as those at current risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A key step during crop domestication is the loss of seed shattering. Here, we show that seed shattering in sorghum is controlled by a single gene, Shattering1 (Sh1), which encodes a YABBY transcription factor. Domesticated sorghums harbor three different mutations at the Sh1 locus. Variants at regulatory sites in the promoter and intronic regions lead to a low level of expression, a 2.2-kb deletion causes a truncated transcript that lacks exons 2 and 3, and a GT-to-GG splice-site variant in the intron 4 results in removal of the exon 4. The distributions of these non-shattering haplotypes among sorghum landraces suggest three independent origins. The function of the rice ortholog (OsSh1) was subsequently validated with a shattering-resistant mutant, and two maize orthologs (ZmSh1-1 and ZmSh1-5.1+ZmSh1-5.2) were verified with a large mapping population. Our results indicate that Sh1 genes for seed shattering were under parallel selection during sorghum, rice and maize domestication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Understanding differences in physiological and growth strategies in low-light environments among upland oak species may help managers address the challenges of oaks' poor regeneration. Gas exchange and chlorophyll content were measured for northern red oak ( Quercus rubra L.), chestnut oak ( Quercus prinus L.), and white oak ( Quercus alba L.) germinants grown at 25%, 18%, and 6% of full sun in one of two native forest soil mixes for two summers. Northern red and chestnut oak photosynthesis at saturating light ( Amax, mass) increased by 23%-36% as light levels increased from 6% to 25% of full sun, while white oak Amax, mass declined by 20% and plateaued at 18% of full sun. White oak light compensation point is representative of deep shade (7.2 µmol·m-2·s-1), while northern red and chestnut oak averaged 17.8 µmol·m-2·s-1. Total chlorophyll content increased as light levels decreased for all species. Of the three species, the slow-growing white oak seedlings appeared to be more efficient in utilizing light than northern red or chestnut oak seedlings. This suggests no additional benefits to increasing light above that typically found in a light shelterwood cut; however, it is crucial to control faster-growing competing vegetation.

AB  - La compréhension des différentes stratégies physiologiques et de croissance dans les milieux ombragés, chez les espèces de chêne des milieux secs, peut aider les aménagistes à relever les défis que représente la faible régénération des chênes. Les échanges gazeux et la teneur en chlorophylle ont été mesurés chez des germinants de chêne rouge ( Quercus rubra L.), de chêne châtaignier ( Quercuc prinus L.) et de chêne blanc ( Quercus alba L.) cultivés sous 25 %, 18 % et 6 % du plein soleil dans l'un des deux mélanges de sol forestier naturel. La photosynthèse à saturation lumineuse ( Amax, masse) des chênes rouge et châtaignier a augmenté de 23 % à 36 % à mesure que l'intensité lumineuse augmentait de 6 % à 25 % du plein soleil, tandis que Amax, masse du chêne blanc a diminué de 20 % et atteint un plateau sous 18 % du plein soleil. Le point de compensation lumineuse du chêne blanc est représentatif d'une situation très ombragée (7,2 µmol·m-2·s-1) tandis qu'il atteignait en moyenne 17,8 µmol·m-2·s-1 chez les chênes rouge et châtaignier. La teneur totale en chlorophylle augmentait à mesure que l'intensité lumineuse diminuait chez toutes les espèces. Des trois espèces, les semis du chêne blanc, une espèce à croissance lente, semblaient utiliser la lumière plus efficacement que les semis des chênes rouge et châtaignier. Cela implique qu'il n'y a pas de bénéfices additionnels à augmenter l'intensité lumineuse au-delà de ce qu'on retrouve dans une coupe progressive légère. Cependant, il est crucial de maîtriser la végétation compétitrice qui croît plus rapidement. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Successful modification of plant cell-wall composition without compromising plant integrity is dependent on being able to modify the expression of specific genes, but this can be very challenging when the target genes are members of multigene families. 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) catalyzes the formation of 4-coumaroyl CoA, a precursor of both flavonoids and monolignols, and is an attractive target for transgenic down-regulation aimed at improving agro-industrial properties. Inconsistent phenotypes of transgenic plants have been attributed to variable levels of down-regulation of multiple 4CL genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the sorghum genome revealed 24 4CL(-like) proteins, five of which cluster with bona fide 4CLs from other species. Using a map-based cloning approach and analysis of two independent mutant alleles, the sorghum brown midrib2 ( bmr2) locus was shown to encode 4CL. In vitro enzyme assays indicated that its preferred substrate is 4-coumarate. Missense mutations in the two bmr2 alleles result in loss of 4CL activity, probably as a result of improper folding as indicated by molecular modeling. Bmr2 is the most highly expressed 4CL in sorghum stems, leaves and roots, both at the seedling stage and in pre-flowering plants, but the products of several paralogs also display 4CL activity and compensate for some of the lost activity. The contribution of the paralogs varies between developmental stages and tissues. Gene expression assays indicated that Bmr2 is under auto-regulatory control, as reduced 4CL activity results in over-expression of the defective gene. Several 4CL paralogs are also up-regulated in response to the mutation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Appropriate selection of parents for the development of mapping populations is pivotal to maximizing the power of quantitative trait loci detection. Trait genotypic variation within a family is indicative of the family's informativeness for genetic studies. Accurate prediction of the most useful parental combinations within a species would help guide quantitative genetics studies. We tested the reliability of genotypic and phenotypic distance estimators between pairs of maize inbred lines to predict genotypic variation for quantitative traits within families derived from biparental crosses. We developed 25 families composed of ∼200 random recombinant inbred lines each from crosses between a common reference parent inbred, B73, and 25 diverse maize inbreds. Parents and families were evaluated for 19 quantitative traits across up to 11 environments. Genetic distances (GDs) among parents were estimated with 44 simple sequence repeat and 2303 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers. GDs among parents had no predictive value for progeny variation, which is most likely due to the choice of neutral markers. In contrast, we observed for about half of the traits measured a positive correlation between phenotypic parental distances and within-family genetic variance estimates. Consequently, the choice of promising segregating populations can be based on selecting phenotypically diverse parents. These results are congruent with models of genetic architecture that posit numerous genes affecting quantitative traits, each segregating for allelic series, with dispersal of allelic effects across diverse genetic material. This architecture, common to many quantitative traits in maize, limits the predictive value of parental genotypic or phenotypic values on progeny variance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - American chestnut ( Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) was functionally removed as a forest tree by chestnut blight (caused by the fungal pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr). Hybrid-backcross breeding between blight-resistant Chinese chestnut ( Castanea mollissima Blume) and American chestnut is used to support species restoration. However, preliminary evidence suggests that backcross material may not have the cold hardiness needed for restoration in the northern portions of the species' range. The cold tolerance of nuts is of concern because reproductive tissues are particularly sensitive to freezing damage. We assessed nut cold tolerance for 16 American chestnut, four Chinese chestnut, and four red oak ( Quercus rubra L.) (a native competitor) sources to better assess genetic variation in nut hardiness. We found that Chinese chestnut nuts were less cold tolerant than American chestnut and red oak nuts and that American chestnut sources from the south were less cold tolerant than sources from the north, with significant differences among sources within all regions. We also assessed how sources varied among temperature zones (sources separated by average winter temperature lows at source locations). Sources from the cold temperature zone were more cold tolerant and less variable in hardiness than sources from warm and moderate zones. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le châtaignier d'Amérique ( Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh.) a été fonctionnellement élimé comme essence forestière par la brûlure du châtaignier (causée par le champignon pathogène Cryptonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr.). La méthode de rétrocroisement avec des hybrides entre le châtaignier chinois ( Castania mollissima Blume) qui est résistant à la brûlure du châtaignier et le châtaignier d'Amérique est utilisée pour appuyer la restauration de l'espèce. Cependant, des données préliminaires indiquent que le matériel produit par rétrocroisement n'a peut-être pas la résistance au froid nécessaire pour la restauration dans la portion nord de l'aire de répartition de l'espèce. La tolérance au froid des noix est source d'inquiétude parce que les tissus reproducteurs sont particulièrement sensibles aux dommages causés par le gel. Nous avons évalué la tolérance au froid de 16 châtaigniers d'Amérique, quatre châtaigniers chinois et quatre chênes rouges ( Quercus rubra L.) (un compétiteur indigène) pour mieux saisir la variation génétique de la résistance au froid des noix. Nous avons trouvé que les noix du châtaignier chinois étaient moins tolérants au froid que les noix du châtaignier d'Amérique et du chêne rouge et que les provenances méridionales de châtaignier d'Amérique étaient moins tolérantes au froid que les provenances septentrionales et qu'il y avait des différences significatives parmi les provenances dans toutes les régions. Nous avons également étudié comment les provenances varient entre les zones thermiques (provenances séparées selon les températures minimales moyennes en hiver à leur point d'origine). Les provenances de la zone thermique froide étaient plus tolérantes au froid et avaient une résistance au froid moins variable que les provenances des zones thermiques intermédiaire et chaude.

AB  - Aims:  To evaluate the effectiveness of two spray-based decontamination methods for surface contamination reduction and to determine the potential for contamination spread by these methods. Methods and Results:  Material coupons (treated plywood and concrete) were contaminated with c. 1 × 107 spores of Bacillus atrophaeus by aerosol deposition. Decontaminants (pH-adjusted bleach or Spor-Klenz® RTU) were applied to coupons by either backpack sprayer or gas-powered sprayer. Contact time, reapplication frequency and rinse method were also varied. In addition to surface removal efficacy, partitioning of contamination between the rinsate and aerosol fractions was determined. Results indicated that pH-adjusted bleach was effective (≥6 logs reduction) when two applications and a 30 min contact time were administered, regardless of the decontaminant application method or material. Spor-Klenz® RTU was effective on wood, but achieved ≤3 logs reduction on concrete. A shortened application procedure with pH-adjusted bleach resulted in lower efficacy on wood, and a greater apparent potential for contamination spread. Conclusions:  Consideration of material surface type is important when selecting a decontaminant. Also, achieving conditions that effectively inactivate surface biological contamination are critical to preventing the spread of contamination. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Results presented here are intended to help development of remediation plans following a biological contamination incident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Northern sweetvetch ( Hedysarum boreale Nutt.) is an herbaceous perennial legume of the Rocky Mountains, USA, whose seed is desired for rehabilitating degraded plant communities. Through experimental pollinations, the necessity of pollinators was shown by the failure of autogamy, despite stigmas first becoming receptive in the bud in close proximity to the dehiscing anthers. Nonetheless, the species proved to be self-fertile, initiating as many fruits through selfing as outcrossing. Incremental benefits of outcrossing only later manifested in superior fruit development, seed maturation and seed germination. Farming of H. boreale can yield abundant viable seed if adequately visited by pollinating bees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using a cut-off of P < 0.05 and a 1.5-fold change difference as biologically significant, the data indicated that 1007 putative unigenes showed significant expression changes following wounding and yeast application relative to wounded controls. Microarray results of selected genes were validated by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The data indicated that yeast application induced the expression of the genes encoding Respiratory burst oxidase ( Rbo), mitogen-activated protein kinase ( MAPK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase ( MAPKK), G-proteins, chitinase ( CHI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase ( PAL), chalcone synthase ( CHS) and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase ( 4CL). In contrast, three genes, peroxidase ( POD), superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and catalase ( CAT), were down-regulated in grapefruit peel tissue treated with yeast cells. Moreover, suppression was correlated with significantly higher levels of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical production in yeast-treated surface wounds. Interestingly, large amounts of hydrogen peroxide were detected inside yeast cells recovered from wounded fruit tissue, indicating the ability of the yeast to activate reactive oxygen species when it is in contact with plant tissue. This study provides the first global picture of gene expression changes in grapefruit in response to the yeast antagonist M. fructicola. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cryosphere—the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in solid form for at least one month of the year—has been shrinking in response to climate warming. The extents of sea ice, snow, and glaciers, for example, have been decreasing. In response, the ecosystems within the cryosphere and those that depend on the cryosphere have been changing. We identify two principal aspects of ecosystem-level responses to cryosphere loss: (1) trophodynamic alterations resulting from the loss of habitat and species loss or replacement and (2) changes in the rates and mechanisms of biogeochemical storage and cycling of carbon and nutrients, caused by changes in physical forcings or ecological community functioning. These changes affect biota in positive or negative ways, depending on how they interact with the cryosphere. The important outcome, however, is the change and the response the human social system (infrastructure, food, water, recreation) will have to that change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Long-term research should play a crucial role in addressing grand challenges in environmental stewardship. We examine the efforts of five Long Term Ecological Research Network sites to enhance policy, management, and conservation decisions for forest ecosystems. In these case studies, we explore the approaches used to inform policy on atmospheric deposition, public land management, land conservation, and urban forestry, including decisionmaker engagement and integration of local knowledge, application of models to analyze the potential consequences of policy and management decisions, and adaptive management to generate new knowledge and incorporate it into decisionmaking. Efforts to enhance the role of long-term research in informing major environmental challenges would benefit from the development of metrics to evaluate impact; stronger partnerships among research sites, professional societies, decisionmakers, and journalists; and greater investment in efforts to develop, test, and expand practice-based experiments at the interface of science and society.

AB  - Sampling techniques currently used to determine control measures for the Coffee Berry-borer (CBB) are time-consuming and allow the grower only a small window of opportunity to select other options. Experiments were conducted in four coffee fields between 2005 and 2007 using IAPAR® traps that were baited with ethanol and methanol (1 : 3 ratio) and benzaldehyde at 1% volume, to test for a correlation between the number of captured adults and infestation levels of CBB, and to determine the action threshold level. For this study, a density 20 traps/ha was used in each experimental area. The number of CBBs captured and infestation level on coffee berries were recorded every 2 weeks. Significant correlation was observed between the trap capture and the infestation level of the CBB in the field. This correlation can enable us to determine action thresholds using traps as sampling methods. Trap catch was very low in all four fields during fruit maturation between March and July, and it increased sharply in August when the CBB emerged from the dry berries that remained on the plants or on the ground.

AB  - The terrestrial biosphere is currently a strong carbon (C) sink but may switch to a source in the 21st century as climate-driven losses exceed CO2-driven C gains, thereby accelerating global warming. Although it has long been recognized that tropical climate plays a critical role in regulating interannual climate variability, the causal link between changes in temperature and precipitation and terrestrial processes remains uncertain. Here, we combine atmospheric mass balance, remote sensing-modeled datasets of vegetation C uptake, and climate datasets to characterize the temporal variability of the terrestrial C sink and determine the dominant climate drivers of this variability. We show that the interannual variability of global land C sink has grown by 50-100% over the past 50 y. We further find that interannual land C sink variability is most strongly linked to tropical nighttime warming, likely through respiration. This apparent sensitivity of respiration to nighttime temperatures, which are projected to increase faster than global average temperatures, suggests that C stored in tropical forests may be vulnerable tofuture warming.

AB  - Background: Carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) bind polysaccharides and help target glycoside hydrolases catalytic domains to their appropriate carbohydrate substrates. To better understand how CBMs can improve cellulolytic enzyme reactivity, representatives from each of the 18 families of CBM found in Ruminoclostridium thermocellum were fused to the multifunctional GH5 catalytic domain of CelE (Cthe_0797, CelEcc), which can hydrolyze numerous types of polysaccharides including cellulose, mannan, and xylan. Since CelE is a cellulosomal enzyme, none of these fusions to a CBM previously existed. Results: CelEcc_CBM fusions were assayed for their ability to hydrolyze cellulose, lichenan, xylan, and mannan. Several CelEcc_CBM fusions showed enhanced hydrolytic activity with different substrates relative to the fusion to CBM3a from the cellulosome scaffoldin, which has high affinity for binding to crystalline cellulose. Additional binding studies and quantitative catalysis studies using nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry (NIMS) were carried out with the CBM3a, CBM6, CBM30, and CBM44 fusion enzymes. In general, and consistent with observations of others, enhanced enzyme reactivity was correlated with moderate binding affinity of the CBM. Numerical analysis of reaction time courses showed that CelEcc_CBM44, a combination of a multifunctional enzyme domain with a CBM having broad binding specificity, gave the fastest rates for hydrolysis of both the hexose and pentose fractions of ionic-liquid pretreated switchgrass. Conclusion: We have shown that fusions of different CBMs to a single multifunctional GH5 catalytic domain can increase its rate of reaction with different pure polysaccharides and with pretreated biomass. This fusion approach, incorporating domains with broad specificity for binding and catalysis, provides a new avenue to improve reactivity of simple combinations of enzymes within the complexity of plant biomass.

AB  - Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has been considered as a promising and environmentally benign approach for efficient and economic hydrogen generation by utilization of solar energy. Development of semiconductor materials with low band gap, high photoelectrochemical activity and stability has been of particular interest for a viable PEC water splitting system. In this study, Co doped ZnO, .i.e., (Zn 0.95 Co 0.05 )O nanowires (NWs) was selected as the composition for further co-doping with nitrogen by comparing solar to hydrogen efficiency (SHE) of ZnO NWs with that of various compositions of (Zn 1−x Co x )O NWs (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1). Furthermore, nanostructured vertically aligned Co and N-doped ZnO, .i.e., (Zn 1−x Co x )O:N NWs (x = 0.05) have been studied as photoanodes for PEC water splitting. An optimal SHE of 1.39% the highest reported so far to the best of our knowledge for ZnO based photoanodes was obtained for the co-doped NWs, (Zn0.95Co0.05)O:N - 600 NWs generated at 600 °C in ammonia atmosphere. Further, (Zn 0.95 Co 0.05 )O:N-600 NWs exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical stability under illumination compared to pure ZnO NWs. These promising results suggest the potential of (Zn 0.95 Co 0.05 )O:N-600 NWs as a viable photoanode in PEC water splitting cell. Additionally, theoretical first principles study conducted explains the beneficial effects of Co and N co-doping on both, the electronic structure and the band gap of ZnO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: White-rot basidiomycete fungi are potent degraders of plant biomass, with the ability to mineralize all lignocellulose components. Recent comparative genomics studies showed that these fungi use a wide diversity of enzymes for wood degradation. Deeper functional analyses are however necessary to understand the enzymatic mechanisms leading to lignocellulose breakdown. The Polyporale fungus Pycnoporus coccineus BRFM310 grows well on both coniferous and deciduous wood. In the present study, we analyzed the early response of the fungus to softwood (pine) and hardwood (aspen) feedstocks and tested the effect of the secreted enzymes on lignocellulose deconstruction. Results: Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed that P. coccineus grown separately on pine and aspen displayed similar sets of transcripts and enzymes implicated in lignin and polysaccharide degradation. In particular, the expression of lignin-targeting oxidoreductases, such as manganese peroxidases, increased upon cultivation on both woods. The sets of enzymes secreted during growth on both pine and aspen were more efficient in saccharide release from pine than from aspen, and characterization of the residual solids revealed polysaccharide conversion on both pine and aspen fiber surfaces. Conclusion: The combined analysis of soluble sugars and solid residues showed the suitability of P. coccineus secreted enzymes for softwood degradation. Analyses of solubilized products and residual surface chemistries of enzyme-treated wood samples pointed to differences in fiber penetration by different P. coccineus secretomes. Accordingly, beyond the variety of CAZymes identified in P. coccineus genome, transcriptome and secretome, we discuss several parameters such as the abundance of manganese peroxidases and the potential role of cytochrome P450s and pectin degradation on the efficacy of fungi for softwood conversion.

AB  - The U.S. Department of Energy has initiated efforts to decrease the nation’s dependence on imported oil by developing domestic renewable sources. In this study, giant miscanthus ( Miscanthus × giganteus), miscane ( Saccharum hybrid × Miscanthus spp.), and giant reed ( Arundo donax ) were grown on an upland site (35.08°N) to determine the potential of these perennial grasses as bioenergy feedstocks, with or without irrigation. Irrigated and rainfed plots with subplots of each species were planted on a silt loam, and biomass yields were assessed in plant-cane, first ratoon, and second ratoon seasons. In the establishment year, giant reed biomass yield was greater than that of giant miscanthus, but not significantly different from that of miscane. Biomass yields of giant reed continued to increase significantly with every season, while giant miscanthus yields only increased from plant-cane to first ratoon, and miscane yields did not change with season. The miscane clone did not have sufficient cold tolerance to ensure vigorous growth of ratoon crops at this latitude. Giant miscanthus had the smallest stalk diameter each season, and the largest leaf:stem ratio in the plant-cane and first ratoon seasons. Irrigation increased dry matter yield of giant reed in the plant-cane and first ratoon seasons, but not in the second ratoon season. In both ratoon seasons, giant reed produced the tallest stalks, largest stalk diameters, and the greatest stem, leaf, and total dry matter yields. Giant reed was the most productive of the three species despite growing on an upland site away from its usual lowland habitat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Recent developments in the field of energy storage materials are expected to provide sustainable solutions to problems related to energy density and storage. Energy storage technologies, such as fuel cells, batteries, super capacitors, high energy density capacitors, and flywheels are receiving increased attention. High energy density capacitors are of particular significance, for example in defense related applications, where tasks in remote areas without traditional energy resources demand novel approaches to energy storage. Polymer nanocomposites offer attractive, low-cost potential storage systems for high energy density capacitors. Their tailored characteristics offer unique combinations of properties and they are expected to play a vital role in the development of new technologies for energy storage applications. With the significant potential of polymer nanocomposites in mind, this book chapter will briefly review the basic properties of various dielectric materials and their applications in polymer nanocomposites for energy storage systems.

AB  - In most ecosystems, microbes are the dominant consumers, commandeering much of the heterotrophic biomass circulating through food webs. Characterizing functional diversity within the microbiome, therefore, is critical to understanding ecosystem functioning, particularly in an era of global biodiversity loss. Using isotopic fingerprinting, we investigated the trophic positions of a broad diversity of heterotrophic organisms. Specifically, we examined the naturally occurring stable isotopes of nitrogen (15N:14N) within amino acids extracted from proteobacteria, actinomycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes, as well as from vertebrate and invertebrate macrofauna (crustaceans, fish, insects, and mammals). Here, we report that patterns of intertrophic 15N-discrimination were remarkably similar among bacteria, fungi, and animals, which permitted unambiguous measurement of consumer trophic position, independent of phylogeny or ecosystem type. The observed similarities among bacterial, fungal, and animal consumers suggest that within a trophic hierarchy, microbiota are equivalent to, and can be interdigitated with, macrobiota. To further test the universality of this finding, we examined Neotropical fungus gardens, communities in which bacteria, fungi, and animals are entwined in an ancient, quadripartite symbiosis. We reveal that this symbiosis is a discrete fourlevel food chain, wherein bacteria function as the apex carnivores, animals and fungi are meso-consumers, and the sole herbivores are fungi. Together, our findings demonstrate that bacteria, fungi, and animals can be integrated within a food chain, effectively uniting the macro- and microbiome in food web ecology and facilitating greater inclusion of the microbiome in studies of functional diversity.

AB  - Summary Water resources in the lower Mississippi River alluvial valley play a critical role in agricultural productivity due to the widespread use of irrigation during the growing season. However, the unknown specifics of surface–atmosphere feedbacks in the region, along with diminishing groundwater availability and the non-sustainable trend in irrigation draws from the alluvial aquifer, makes it difficult for water resource managers to make sound decisions for future water sustainability. As a result, it is crucial to identify spatial and temporal associations between local rainfall patterns and groundwater levels to determine the influence of precipitation on regional aquifer recharge. Specifically, it is critical to define the recharge zones of the aquifer so that rainfall distribution can be used to assess potential groundwater recovery. This project addresses the issue of defining areas of recharge in the lower Mississippi River alluvial aquifer (LMRAA) through an assessment of historical precipitation variability using high-resolution radar-derived precipitation estimates. A rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) of both groundwater and precipitation data from October through April is used to define locations where aquifer levels show the greatest variability, with a stepwise regression approach used to define areas where rainfall and groundwater levels show the strongest association. Results show that the greatest recharge through direct rainfall is along the Tallahatchie River basin in the northeastern Mississippi Delta, with recharge along the periphery of the LMRAA likely a result of direct water flux from surface hydrologic features.

AB  - <bold>Background: </bold>Patterns of poor nutritional intake may exacerbate the elevated morbidity experienced by cancer survivors. It remains unclear whether cancer survivors adhere to existing dietary guidelines and whether survivors' diets differ from those of individuals without cancer over the long term.<bold>Methods: </bold>The authors evaluated dietary intake and quality in 1533 adult cancer survivors who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2010 compared with dietary intake and quality in 3075 individuals who had no history of cancer and were matched to the cancer survivors by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Dietary intake was assessed using 24-hour dietary recalls. The 2010 Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) was used to evaluate diet quality.<bold>Results: </bold>The mean ± standard deviation HEI-2010 total score was 47.2 ± 0.5 in the cancer survivors and 48.3 ± 0.4 in the noncancer group (P = .03). Compared with the noncancer group, cancer survivors had a significantly lower score for empty calories (13.6 vs 14.4; P = .001), which corresponded to worse adherence to dietary intake of calories from solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars. Cancer survivors also had significantly lower dietary intake of fiber than the noncancer group (15.0 vs 15.9 g per day; P = .02). In relation to recommended intake, survivors' mean dietary intake of vitamin D, vitamin E, potassium, fiber, and calcium was 31%, 47%, 55%, 60%, and 73%, respectively; whereas their mean dietary intake of saturated fat and sodium was 112% and 133%, respectively, of the recommended intake.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Cancer survivors had poor adherence to the US Department of Agriculture 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and their intake patterns were worse than those in the general population for empty calories and fiber.

AB  - Yeasts are unicellular fungi that do not form fruiting bodies. Although the yeast lifestyle has evolved multiple times, most known species belong to the subphylum Saccharomycotina (syn. Hemiascomycota, hereafter yeasts). This diverse group includes the premier eukaryotic model system, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ; the common human commensal and opportunistic pathogen, Candida albicans ; and over 1000 other known species (with more continuing to be discovered). Yeasts are found in every biome and continent and are more genetically diverse than angiosperms or chordates. Ease of culture, simple life cycles, and small genomes (∼10–20 Mbp) have made yeasts exceptional models for molecular genetics, biotechnology, and evolutionary genomics. Here we discuss recent developments in understanding the genomic underpinnings of the making of yeast biodiversity, comparing and contrasting natural and human-associated evolutionary processes. Only a tiny fraction of yeast biodiversity and metabolic capabilities has been tapped by industry and science. Expanding the taxonomic breadth of deep genomic investigations will further illuminate how genome function evolves to encode their diverse metabolisms and ecologies.

AB  - Thermodynamic phase equilibria in synthetic slags (Al 2 O 3 –CaO–FeO–SiO 2 –V 2 O 3 ) were investigated with 0–27 wt.% vanadium oxide corresponding to industrial coal–petroleum coke (petcoke) feedstock blends in a simulated gasifier environment. Samples encompassing coal–petcoke mixed slag compositions were equilibrated at 1500 °C in a 64 vol.% CO/36 vol.% CO 2 atmosphere ( P o 2 ≈ 10 −8 atm at 1500 °C) for 72 h, followed by rapid water quench, then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy with wavelength dispersive spectroscopy. With increasing CaO content, FeO content, or both; the slag homogeneity region expanded and a composition range exhibiting crystals was reduced. The mullite (Al 6 Si 2 O 13 ) crystalline phase was not present in the slags above 9 wt.% FeO while the karelianite (V 2 O 3 ) crystalline phase was always present in compositions studied if a sufficient amount of vanadium existed in the slag. Based on the present experimental equilibrium evaluation, a set of isothermal phase diagrams showing effects of CaO and FeO on thermodynamic phase stabilities in the vanadium-bearing slags is proposed. Some uses of the diagrams for potential industrial practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Gd 5 (Si x Ge 1− x ) 4 for 0.41< x <0.5 is orthorhombic and ferromagnetic at lower temperature, monoclinic and paramagnetic at higher temperature, and shows a first order magnetic-structural phase transition between the two. In this range, the magnetic moment vs. magnetic field (MH) isotherms measured just above the first order transition temperature carry information about all magnetic and structural transitions. Here, the Curie–Weiss law was applied to the paramagnetic portions of the MH isotherms which allowed identification of the second order magnetic phase transition temperature of the monoclinic phase, a region where the second order transition does not occur due to the existence of the first order transition. The calculated second order phase transition temperatures of the monoclinic phase were added to the existing phase diagram. The completed magnetic-structural phase diagram carries now all the information including the magnetic transition temperatures of both monoclinic and orthorhombic phases. It was also found that the magnetic transition temperature of the monoclinic phase and the first order transition temperature are interrelated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fire is a prevalent feature of many landscapes and has numerous and complex effects on geological, hydrological, ecological, and economic systems. In some regions, the frequency and intensity of wildfire have increased in recent years and are projected to escalate with predicted climatic and landuse changes. In addition, prescribed burns continue to be used in many parts of the world to clear vegetation for development projects, encourage desired vegetation, and reduce fuel loads. Given the prevalence of fire on the landscape, authors of papers in this special series examine the complexities of fire as a disturbance shaping freshwater ecosystems and highlight the state of the science. These papers cover key aspects of fire effects that range from vegetation loss and recovery in watersheds to effects on hydrology and water quality with consequences for communities (from algae to fish), food webs, and ecosystem processes (e.g., organic matter subsidies, nutrient cycling) across a range of scales. The results presented in this special series of articles expand our knowledge of fire effects in different biomes, water bodies, and geographic regions, encompassing aquatic population, community, and ecosystem responses. In this overview, we summarize each paper and emphasize its contributions to knowledge on fire ecology and freshwater ecosystems. This overview concludes with a list of 7 research foci that are needed to further our knowledge of fire effects on aquatic ecosystems, including research on: 1) additional biomes and geographic regions; 2) additional habitats, including wetlands and lacustrine ecosystems; 3) different fire severities, sizes, and spatial configurations; and 4) additional response variables (e.g., ecosystem processes) 5) over long (>5 y) time scales 6) with more rigorous study designs and data analyses, and 7) consideration of the effects of fire management practices and policies on aquatic ecosystems.

AB  - Key message: A compensating, recombined Lr59 translocation with greatly reduced alien chromatin was identified. Microsatellite locus Xdupw217 occurs within the remaining segment and can be used as a co-dominant marker for Lr59. Abstract: In earlier studies, leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.) resistance gene Lr59 was transferred from Aegilops peregrina (Hackel) Maire et Weiler to chromosome arm 1AL of common wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). The resistance gene was then genetically mapped on the translocated chromosome segment following homoeologous pairing induction. Eight recombinants that retained the least alien chromatin apparently resulted from crossover within a terminal region of the translocation that was structurally different from 1AL. These recombinants could not be differentiated by size, and it was not clear whether they were compensating in nature. The present study determined that the distal part of the original translocation has group 6 chromosome homoeology and a 6BS telomere (with the constitution of the full translocation chromosome being 1AS·1L·6S ·6BS). During the allosyndetic pairing induction experiment to map and shorten the full size translocation, a low frequency of quadrivalents involving 1A, the 1A translocation, and two 6B chromosomes was likely formed. Crossover within such quadrivalents apparently produced comparatively small compensating alien chromatin inserts within the 6BS satellite region on chromosome 6B of seven of the eight recombinants. It appears that the Gli- B2 storage protein locus on 6BS has not been affected by the recombination events, and the translocations are therefore not expected to affect baking quality. Simple sequence repeat marker results showed that Lr59-151 is the shortest recombinant, and it will therefore be used in breeding. Marker DUPW217 detects a homoeo-allele within the remaining alien chromatin that can be used for marker-assisted selection of Lr59. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Surveillance monitoring for microbial water quality typically involves collecting single discrete grab samples for analyzing only one contaminant. While informative, current approaches suffer from poor recoveries and only provide a limited snapshot of the microbial contaminants only at the time of collection. To overcome these limitations, bivalves have been proposed as effective biosentinels of water quality particularly for their ability to efficiently concentrate and retain microbial contaminants for long periods of time. In this study, we examined the use of indigenous blue mussels ( Mytilus spp.) as biosentinels to monitor for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium water. An efficient method to extract oocyst DNA from various mussel tissues followed by PCR-based detection of these pathogens was developed, which resulted in the detection down to 10 oocysts. This method was then used to conduct a small survey in Point Lobos and Morro Bay, California to determine prevalence T. gondii and Cryptosporidium. Results revealed that mussels from Morro Bay were contaminated with T. gondii (33 %), while mussels from Point Lobos were contaminated with T. gondii (54 %) and Cryptosporidium (26.9 %) oocysts. Phylogenetic analysis using the SSU rRNA gene identified two novel Cryptosporidium parvum-like genotypes. Overall, this study demonstrated the application of using native California Mytilus spp. as biosentinels for pathogen contamination along the central California shorelines. More importantly, T. gondii and Cryptosporidium were found at higher prevalence rates in Morro Bay and in Point Lobos, an area not previously reported to be contaminated with these pathogens.

AB  - Diapause hormone and its analogs terminate pupal diapause in Helicoverpa zea when injected, but if such agents are to be used as effective diapause disruptors it will be essential to develop simple techniques for administering active compounds that can exert their effect by penetrating the insect epidermis. In the current study, we used two molecules previously shown to have high diapause-terminating activity as lead molecules to rationally design and synthesize new amphiphilic compounds with modified hydrophobic components. An assay for diapause termination identified 13 active compounds with EC 50 's ranging from 0.9 to 46.0 pmol per pupa. Three compounds, Decyl-1963, Dodecyl-1967, and Heptyl-1965, selected from the 13 compounds most active in breaking diapause following injection, also successfully prevented newly-formed pupae from entering diapause when applied topically. These compounds feature straight-chain, aliphatic hydrocarbons from 7 to 12 carbons in length; DH analogs with either a short-chain length of 4 or an aromatic phenethyl group failed to act topically. Compared to a high diapause incidence of 80–90% in controls, diapause incidence in pupae receiving a 10 nmole topical application of Decyl-1963, Dodecyl-1967, or Heptyl-1965 dropped to 30–45%. Decyl-1963 and Dodecyl-1967 also remained effective when topically applied at the 1 nmole level. These results suggest the feasibility of developing DH agonists that can be applied topically and suggest the identity of new lead molecules for development of additional topically-active DH analogs. The ability to penetrate the insect epidermis and/or midgut lining is critical if such agents are to be considered for future use as pest management tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mg 1.5 MnO 3 , a defect oxide spinel (space group: Fd3m; unit cell: 0.833294 nm) of particle size ∼100 nm derived by the Pechini route was tested as a cathode for rechargeable magnesium battery. Cyclic voltammetry illustrates a reversible reaction occurring in the 0.3–2.0 V potential window versus magnesium. The spinel however exhibits a low capacity of ∼12.4 mAh/g up to 20 cycle when cycled at a current rate of ∼C/27. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface probe of magnesiated/de-magnesiated electrodes confirms the oxidation state change of Mn during intercalation/de-intercalation of Mg-ion from the Mg 1.5 MnO 3 electrode. The low capacity of Mg 1.5 MnO 3 electrode mainly stem from the kinetic limitation of Mg-ion removal from the defect oxide spinel as the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results of electrodes show that charge transfer resistance, R e increases in the de-magnesiated state.

AB  - The allocation of carbon and nitrogen resources to the synthesis of plant proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids is complex and under the control of many genes; much remains to be understood about this process. QQS (Qua-Quine Starch; At3g30720), an orphan gene unique to Arabidopsis thaliana, regulates metabolic processes affecting carbon and nitrogen partitioning among proteins and carbohydrates, modulating leaf and seed composition in Arabidopsis and soybean. Here the universality of QQS function in modulating carbon and nitrogen allocation is exemplified by a series of transgenic experiments. We show that ectopic expression of QQS increases soybean protein independent of the genetic background and original protein content of the cultivar. Furthermore, transgenic QQS expression increases the protein content of maize, a C4 species (a species that uses 4-carbon photosynthesis), and rice, a protein-poor agronomic crop, both highly divergent from Arabidopsis. We determine that QQS protein binds to the transcriptional regulator AtNF-YC4 (Arabidopsis nuclear factor Y, subunit C4). Overexpression of AtNF-YC4 in Arabidopsis mimics the QQS-overexpression phenotype, increasing protein and decreasing starch levels. NF-YC, a component of the NF-Y complex, is conserved across eukaryotes. The NF-YC4 homologs of soybean, rice, and maize also bind to QQS, which provides an explanation of how QQS can act in species where it does not occur endogenously. These findings are, to our knowledge, the first insight into the mechanism of action of QQS in modulating carbon and nitrogen allocation across species. They have major implications for the emergence and function of orphan genes, and identify a nontransgenic strategy for modulating protein levels in crop species, a trait of great agronomic significance.

AB  - Numerous controlled experiments find that elevated ground-level ozone concentrations ([O3]) damage crops and reduce yield. There have been no estimates of the actual yield losses in the field in the United States from [O3], even though such estimates would be valuable for projections of future food production and for cost-benefit analyses of reducing ground-level [O3]. Regression analysis of historical yield, climate, and [O3] data for the United States were used to determine the loss of production due to O3 formaize (Zeamays) and soybean (Glycine max) from 1980 to 2011, showing that over that period production of rain-fed fields of soybean and maize were reduced by roughly 5%and 10%, respectively, costing approximately $9 billion annually. Maize, thought to be inherently resistant to O3, was at least as sensitive as soybean to O3 damage. Overcoming this yield loss with improved emission controls or more tolerant germplasm could substantially increase world food and feed supply at a time when a global yield jump is urgently needed.

AB  - Due to the emerging cooling possibilities at the micro and nanoscale, such as the fast heat exchange rate, the effort to synthesize and optimize the magnetocaloric materials at these scales is rapidly growing. Here, we report the effect of different thermal treatments on Gd 5 Si 1.3 Ge 2.7 thin film in order to evaluate the correlation between the crystal structure, magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect. For annealing temperatures higher than 773 K, the samples showed a typical paramagnetic behavior. On the other hand, annealing below 773 K promoted the suppression of the magnetostructural transition at 190 K, while the magnetic transition around 249 K is not affected. This magnetostructural transition extinction imparts reflected in the magnetocaloric behavior and resulted in a drastic decrease in the entropy change peak value. Nevertheless, an increase in 25% of the T C and an increasing Δ T FWHM from 23 to 49 K of its operation temperature interval, Δ T , upon annealing, are crucial for future application in magnetic refrigeration.

AB  - We examine the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth) project, a transdisciplinary organization tasked with creating a cyberinfrastructure platform to ensure preservation of and access to environmental science and biological science data. Its objective was a difficult one to achieve, requiring innovative solutions. The DataONE project used a working group structure to organize its members. We use organizational discontinuity theory as our lens to understand the factors associated with success in such projects. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from DataONE members, we offer recommendations for the use of working groups in transdisciplinary synthesis. Recommendations include welcome diverse opinions and world views, establish shared communication practices, schedule periodic synchronous face-to-face meetings, and ensure the active participation of bridge builders or knowledge brokers such as librarians who know how to ask questions about disciplines not their own.

AB  - Peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) requires calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) and broiler litter ash (BLA) could be used as Ca and P fertilizer for peanuts. A pot study was conducted to determine the effects of BLA and FGDG on peanut yield and nutrient uptake compared to superphosphate (SP). Peanut kernel yields were 13.5 greater with BLA compared to SP. Kernel Ca concentration was 29% and P was 17% lower in in plants grown on the BLA compared to SP. Because of the high Ca content of the amended soil no significant difference was observed when FGDG was added. Micronutrients in kernel fertilized with BLA and FGDG were similar to superphosphate. The small difference in kernel Ca and P and the low levels of metals in the tissue between the BLA and SP demonstrate that BLA could be used as P source for peanuts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sc2Ga2CuO7 (SGCO) crystallizes in a hexagonal structure (space group: P63/mmc), which can be seen as an alternating stacking of single and double triangular layers. Combining neutron, x-ray, and resonant x-ray diffraction, we establish that the single triangular layers are mainly populated by nonmagnetic Ga3+ ions (85% Ga and 15% Cu), while the bilayers have comparable population of Cu2+ and Ga3+ ions (43% Cu and 57% Ga). Our susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.8-400 K give no indication of any spin-freezing or magnetic long-range order (LRO). We infer an effective paramagnetic moment /µeff = 1.79 ± 0.09 µB and a Curie-Weiss temperature θCW of about -44 K, suggesting antiferromagnetic interactions between the Cu2+(S = 1/2) ions. Low-temperature neutron powder diffraction data showed no evidence for LRO down to 1.5 K. In our specific heat data as well, no anomalies were found down to 0.35 K, in the field range 0-140 kOe. The magnetic specific heat Cm, exhibits a broad maximum at around 2.5 K followed by a nearly power law Cm ∝ Ta behavior at lower temperatures, with a increasing from 0.3 to 1.9 as a function of field for fields up to 90 kOe and then remaining at 1.9 for fields up to 140 kOe. Our results point to a disordered ground state in SGCO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C), a causal agent of the leprosis disease in citrus, is mostly present in the South and Central America and spreading toward the North America. To enable better diagnosis and inhibit the further spread of this re-emerging virus a quantitative (q) real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay is needed for early detection of CiLV-C when the virus is present in low titer in citrus leprosis samples. Using the genomic sequence of CiLV-C, specific primers and probe were designed and synthesized to amplify a 73 nt amplicon from the movement protein (MP) gene. A standard curve of the 73 nt amplicon MP gene was developed using known 10 10 –10 1 copies of in vitro synthesized RNA transcript to estimate the copy number of RNA transcript in the citrus leprosis samples. The one-step qRT-PCR detection assays for CiLV-C were determined to be 1000 times more sensitive when compared to the one-step conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) CiLV-C detection method. To evaluate the quality of the total RNA extracts, NADH dehydrogenase gene specific primers (nad5) and probe were included in reactions as an internal control. The one-step qRT-PCR specificity was successfully validated by testing for the presence of CiLV-C in the total RNA extracts of the citrus leprosis samples collected from Belize, Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama. Implementation of the one-step qRT-PCR assays for CiLV-C diagnosis should assist regulatory agencies in surveillance activities to monitor the distribution pattern of CiLV-C in countries where it is present and to prevent further dissemination into citrus growing countries where there is no report of CiLV-C presence.

AB  - Rapid visible/near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral imaging methods, employing both a single waveband algorithm and multi-spectral algorithms, were developed in order to discrimination between sound and discolored lettuce. Reflectance spectra for sound and discolored lettuce surfaces were extracted from hyperspectral reflectance images obtained in the 400-1000 nm wavelength range. The optimal wavebands for discriminating between discolored and sound lettuce surfaces were determined using one-way analysis of variance. Multi-spectral imaging algorithms developed using ratio and subtraction functions resulted in enhanced classification accuracy of above 99.9% for discolored and sound areas on both adaxial and abaxial lettuce surfaces. Ratio imaging (RI) and subtraction imaging (SI) algorithms at wavelengths of 552/701 nm and 557-701 nm, respectively, exhibited better classification performances compared to results obtained for all possible two-waveband combinations. These results suggest that hyperspectral reflectance imaging techniques can potentially be used to discriminate between discolored and sound fresh-cut lettuce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This research aims to design and fabricate a system to measure the capsaicinoid content of red pepper powder in a non-destructive and rapid method using visible and near infrared spectroscopy (VNIR). The developed system scans a well-leveled powder surface continuously to minimize the influence of the placenta distribution, thus acquiring stable and representative reflectance spectra. The system incorporates flat belts driven by a sample input hopper and stepping motor, a powder surface leveler, charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor-embedded VNIR spectrometer, fiber optic probe, and tungsten halogen lamp, and an automated reference measuring unit with a reference panel to measure the standard spectrum. The operation program includes device interface, standard reflectivity measurement, and a graphical user interface to measure the capsaicinoid content. A partial least square regression (PLSR) model was developed to predict the capsaicinoid content; 44 red pepper powder samples whose measured capsaicinoid content ranged 13.45-159.48 mg/100 g by per high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and 1242 VNIR absorbance spectra acquired by the pungency measurement system were used. The determination coefficient of validation (RV2) and standard error of prediction (SEP) for the model with the first-order derivative pretreatment method for Korean red pepper powder were 0.8484 and ±13.6388 mg/100 g, respectively.

AB  - Fusarium goolgardi, isolated from the grass tree Xanthorrhoea glauca in natural ecosystems of Australia, is closely related to fusaria that produce a subgroup of trichothecene (type A) mycotoxins that lack a carbonyl group at carbon atom 8 (C-8). Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that F. goolgardi isolates produce type A trichothecenes, but exhibited one of two chemotypes. Some isolates (50%) produced multiple type A trichothecenes, including 4,15-diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), neosolaniol (NEO), 8-acetylneosolaniol (Ac-NEO) and T-2 toxin (DAS-NEO-T2 chemotype). Other isolates (50%) produced only DAS (DAS chemotype). In the phylogenies inferred from DNA sequences of genes encoding the RNA polymerase II largest (RPB1) and second largest (RPB2) subunits as well as the trichothecene biosynthetic genes (TRI), F. goolgardi isolates were resolved as a monophyletic clade, distinct from other type A trichothecene-producing species. However, the relationships of F. goolgardi to the other species varied depending on whether phylogenies were inferred from RPB1 and RPB2, the 12-gene TRI cluster, the two-gene TRI1-TRI16 locus, or the single-gene TRI101 locus. Phylogenies based on different TRI loci resolved isolates with different chemotypes into distinct clades, even though only the TRI1-TRI16 locus is responsible for structural variation at C-8. Sequence analysis indicated that TRI1 and TRI16 are functional in F. goolgardi isolates with the DAS-NEO-T2 chemotype, but non-functional in isolates with DAS chemotype due to the presence of premature stop codons caused by a point mutation.

AB  - The concept of low pressure (LP) vacuum outlet gas chromatography (GC) was introduced more than 50 years ago, but it was not until the 2000s that its theoretical applicability to fast analysis of GC-amenable chemicals was realized. In practice, LPGC is implemented by placing the outlet of a short, wide (typically 10–15 m, 0.53 mm inner diameter) analytical column under vacuum conditions, which speeds the separation by reducing viscosity of the carrier gas, thereby leading to a higher optimal flow rate for the most separation efficiency. To keep the inlet at normal operating pressures, the analytical column is commonly coupled to a short, narrow uncoated restriction capillary that also acts as a guard column. The faster separations in LPGC usually result in worse separation efficiency relative to conventional GC, but selective detection usually overcomes this drawback. Mass spectrometry (MS) provides highly selective and sensitive universal detection, and nearly all GC-MS instruments provide vacuum outlet conditions for implementation of LPGC-MS(/MS) without need for adaptations. In addition to higher sample throughput, LPGC provides other benefits, including lower detection limits, less chance of analyte degradation, reduced peak tailing, increased sample loadability, and more ruggedness without overly narrow peaks that would necessitate excessively fast data acquisition rates. This critical review summarizes recent developments in the application of LPGC with MS and other detectors in the analysis of pesticides, environmental contaminants, explosives, phytosterols, and other semi-volatile compounds.

It is still unclear if there is intercellular communication between the vegetative cell and the sperm cells. Here we show that ABA-hypersensitive germination3 (AHG3), encoding a protein phosphatase, is specifically transcribed in the vegetative cell but predominantly translated in sperm cells. We used a series of deletion constructs and promoter exchanges to document transport of AHG3 transcripts from the vegetative cell to sperm and showed that their transport requires sequences in both the 5' UTR and the coding region. Thus, in addition its known role in transporting sperm during pollen tube growth, the vegetative cell also contributes transcripts to the sperm cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Results are presented that explore the dynamic structural changes occurring in two highly flexible nanocrystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds during the adsorption and desorption of pure gases and binary mixtures. The Ni(1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene)[Ni(CN) 4 ] and catena-bis(dibenzoylmethanato)-(4,4′-bipyridyl)nickel(II) chosen for this study are 3-D and 1-D porous coordination polymers (PCP) with a similar gate opening pressure response for CO 2 isotherms at 303 K, but with differing degrees of flexibility for structural change to accommodate guest molecules. As such, they serve as a potential model system for evaluating the complex kinetics associated with dynamic structure changes occurring in response to gas adsorption in flexible MOF systems. Insights into the crystallographic changes occurring as the MOF pore structure expands and contracts in response to interactions with CO 2 , N 2 , and CO 2 /N 2 mixtures have been obtained from in situ small-angle neutron scattering and neutron diffraction, combined with ex situ X-ray diffraction structure measurements. The role of structure in carbon capture functionality is discussed with reference to the ongoing characterization challenges and a possible materials-by-design approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Development of electrocatalysts is important for reducing the voltage loss due to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in metal-air batteries and water electrolyzers. In the present work, the electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen evolution for a series of lanthanum-ruthenium compounds has been investigated by steady-state current-potential measurements in alkaline media to understand the effect of structure, valence state of the transition metal ion, and the role of surface adsorbed hydroxyl species. Compounds of the perovskite family, LaRuO 3 , La 3.5 Ru 4 O 13 , and La 2 RuO 5, were prepared by the Pechini process and calcined at different temperatures to obtain the desired phases. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of LaRuO 3 and La 2 RuO 5 showed shifts of the Ru-3d peaks towards higher binding energies indicative of a highly oxidized surface with possibly high surface hydroxylation. The electrochemical activity of the compounds at 0.8 V vs. NHE was in the order of 10 −6 A/cm 2 and the mass specific activity was about 80 mA/g . Tafel slopes were in the vicinity of 60 mV/decade for LaRuO 3 (orthorhombic) and La 3.5 Ru 4 O 13 (orthorhombic), and about 80 mV/decade for La 2 RuO 5 (monoclinic). In addition FT-IR results indicate high surface coverage by hydroxide species. The reaction order with respect to OH − ions was found to be lower than unity. It is possible that strong interaction of hydroxide groups with ruthenium at the surface of the electrode makes it difficult to dissociate the Ru-OH bond and prevent further interaction with dissolved OH − even at high overpotentials.

AB  - The design of high performance and durable electro-catalyst has been of particular interest for DMFC anodes. Pt(Ru) has been considered the most active DMFC anode catalyst. In this work, the reaction kinetics of Pt(Ru) electro-catalyst has been improved by synthesizing high active surface area Pt 50 (Ru 50 ) catalyst supported on highly conductive nanostructured titanium nitride, TiN. The Pt(Ru)/TiN has been synthesized by a complexed sol-gel (CSG) process using non-halide precursors of Pt and Ru. High surface area Pt(Ru)/TiN shows promising electrochemical performance for methanol oxidation, showing ∼52% improved catalytic activity at ∼0.65 V ( vs NHE) and stability/durability in comparison with commercial JM-Pt(Ru). Single cell DMFC performance shows 56% improved maximum power density and superior electrochemical stability for CSG-Pt(Ru)/TiN compared to that of commercial JM-Pt(Ru). This is attributed to the uniform dispersion of Pt(Ru) achieved on the nanostructured TiN (support) yielding higher electrochemical active surface area and lower charge transfer resistance than commercial JM-Pt(Ru). Thus, the present study demonstrates the potential of nanostructured TiN as a support for Pt(Ru) based anode electro-catalyst for DMFC applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <bold>Objective: </bold>To explore the effect of seasonality on fruit and vegetable availability and prices across three outlet types (farmers' markets, roadside stands and conventional supermarkets).<bold>Design: </bold>Cross-sectional survey of geographically clustered supermarkets, farmers' markets and roadside stands. Enumerators recorded the availability and lowest price for eleven fruits and eighteen vegetables in each season of 2011.<bold>Setting: </bold>Price data were collected at retail outlets located in central and eastern North Carolina.<bold>Subjects: </bold>The sample consisted of thirty-three supermarkets, thirty-four farmers' markets and twenty-three roadside stands.<bold>Results: </bold>Outside the local harvest season, the availability of many fruits and vegetables was substantially lower at farmers' markets and roadside stands compared with supermarkets. Given sufficient availability, some items were significantly cheaper (P<0·05) at direct retail outlets in the peak season (e.g. cantaloupe cost 36·0 % less at roadside stands than supermarkets), while others were significantly more expensive (e.g. carrots cost 137·9 % more at farmers' markets than supermarkets). Although small samples limited statistical power in many non-peak comparisons, these results also showed some differences by item: two-thirds of fruits were cheaper at one or both direct outlets in the spring and autumn, whereas five of eighteen vegetables cost more at direct retail year-round.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Commonly consumed fruits and vegetables were more widely available at supermarkets in central and eastern North Carolina than at direct retail outlets, in each season. Contingent on item availability, price competitiveness of the direct retail outlets varied by fruit and vegetable. For many items, the outlets compete on price in more than one season.

AB  - The effects of irradiance and temperature on growth and flowering in seed propagated Sinningia cardinalis especially to increase the number of flowers were investigated. To understand the effect of irradiance on flowering and the number of flowers, seedlings were grown under 30% shade (30% SH), natural irradiance (ND), and ND supplemented with 14 h of high irradiance at 14 W/m 2 (ND + 14HID) at 3 stages (ST) lasted for 40 days (d) at each ST (Expt. 1). Flowering was the earliest (205 d) when 20-d old plants were grown under 30% SH during the entire three stages (July 1 through October 31). Longer than 215 d to flower was required when plants received ND + 14HID during stage 3 (ST 3) (September 21–October 31). The number of flowers was highest (22) when grown under 30% SH during ST 1 (July 1–August 10) followed by ND or ND + 14HID during the ST 2 (August 12–September 20) or ST 3. To investigate the effect of temperature on flowering and the number of flowers, 42 d of 15/13 °C (15 °C), 19/17 °C (19 °C), 23/21 °C (23 °C), and 27/25 °C (27 °C) and under ND + 10HDI were given to 45-d old plants (Expt. 2). The number of days to flower was only significantly accelerated at 23° and 27 °C as compared to 15 °C and 19 °C, but not by irradiance treatments. The highest number of flowers (24) was produced when plants were grown at 15 °C under ND + 10HID given prior to formation of three pairs of leaves (<3L). To further refine the level of reduced of light irradiance on the number of flowers, plants were grown under 45% shade (45% SH), 30% shade (30% SH) from 08:00 to 20:00 h, and ND were given to 128-d old plants between days 0 and 20 (0 and 20), 21 and 40, and 0 and 40 (Expt. 3). The number of flowers (17.6) was significantly increased when grown under 45% SH, especially during the 21–40 d period. To investigate the effect of temperature on plants at visible buds stages, plants were transferred to growth chambers maintained at 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 °C during the day (0800–1600 h; 35 W/m 2 ) and at 16 °C at night for 42 d (Expt. 4). Flowering was delayed from 100 to 115 d as day temperatures were increased from 18° to 30 °C, and the number of flowers was the highest number (26.5 flowers) at 24 °C. Therefore, to promote flowering and to increase the flower numbers, S. cardinalis should be grown under 30% SH or under ND photoperiod during May–October. At a later stage of flower bud development, temperature rather than irradiance controls the speed of flowering. The differences in flowering time for only 16 d from sowing to flowering may suggest that S. cardinalis can be considered as a day-neutral plant for flower bud initiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Perovskite manganite La 0.4 Bi 0.6 Mn 1−x Ti x O 3 (x = 0.05 and 0.1) synthesized using conventional solid state route method give rise to critical phenomenon in their magnetic interactions due to the substitution of non magnetic Ti ions. The critical behavior is observed near paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition and is studied by magnetization measurements. Various techniques like Modified Arrott plot, Kouvel–Fisher method, scaling equation of state analysis and the critical magnetization isotherm were used to analyze the magnetization data on magnetic phase transition. The values of critical exponents β and γ obtained using different techniques are in good agreement. The obtained critical exponents are found to follow scaling equation with the magnetization data scaled into two different curves below and above the transition temperature, T C . This confirms that the critical exponents and T C are reasonably accurate. The obtained critical exponents for both the samples deviates from mean-field model and do not completely follow the static long range ferromagnetic ordering. This behavior is consistent with non magnetic nature of Ti substituted at Mn site and can be associated with Griffiths phase like phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Relationships between organic molecules and inorganic minerals are investigated in a single 34 μm diameter grain of the CR2 chondrite Northwest Africa 852 ( NWA) 852 with submicron spatial resolution using synchrotron-based imaging micro- FTIR spectroscopy. Correlations based on absorption strength for the various constituents are determined using statistical correlation analysis. The silicate band is found to be correlated with the hydration band, and the latter is highly correlated with stretching modes of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Spatial distribution maps show that water+organic combination, silicate, OH, and C-H distributions overlap, suggesting a possible catalytic role of phyllosilicates in the formation of organics. In contrast, the carbonate band is anticorrelated with water+organic combination, however uncorrelated with any other spectral feature. The average ratio of asymmetric CH2 and CH3 band strengths ( CH2/ CH3 = 2.53) for NWA 852 is similar to the average ratio of interplanetary dust particles (~2.40) and Wild 2 cometary dust particles (2.50), but it significantly exceeds that of interstellar medium objects (~1.00) and several aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites (~1.40). This suggests organics of similar length/branching, and perhaps similar formation regions, for NWA 852, Wild 2 dust particles, and interplanetary dust particles. The heterogeneous spatial distribution of ratio values indicates the presence of a mixture of aliphatic organic material with different length/branching, and thus a wide range of parent body processes, which occurred before the considered grain was formed.

AB  - This paper presents the structure, magnetic properties, and magnetocaloric effect of the polycrystalline compound GdNiAl 2 . Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and Rietveld refinement revealed that GdNiAl 2 alloy is CuMgAl 2 -type phase structure with about 1 wt% GdNi 2 Al 3 secondary phase. Magnetic measurements suggest that the compound is ferromagnetic and undergoes a second-order phase transition near 28 K. The maximum value of magnetic entropy change reaches 16.0 J/kg K for an applied magnetic field change of 0–50 kOe and the relative cooling power was 6.4×10 2 J/kg. It is a promising candidate as a magnetocaloric material working near liquid hydrogen temperature (~20 K) exhibiting large relative cooling power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - From a survey for Phytophthora spp. in containment basins at one nursery each in Alabama and Mississippi, eight species and one taxon were recovered, with Phytophthora gonapodyides dominant in cooler months and P. hydropathica in warmer months, accounting for 39.6 and 46.6% overall recovery, respectively. Among the recoveries were P. macilentosa, P. mississippiae, and P. stricta, three new species recently described from a small lake (labeled M4) that serves as a primary water source for irrigation and to feed another irrigation pond (M5) at the Mississippi nursery. Neither of ponds M4 and M5 directly receives runoff from any production area. The three new species were tested for pathogenicity with Catharanthus roseus, Gardenia jasminoides 'August Beauty,' Hydrangea quercifolia 'Semmes Beauty,' Ilex magland 'Oakland,' Pieris japonica 'Mountain Snow,' and Rhododendron x 'Brandi Michele Raley.' None of the three species infected any of the test plants or became established in peat or pine bark growing media. Based on the result of pathogenicity trials as well as the field observation that none of the nine Phytophthora taxa recovered from irrigation reservoirs have caused episodic disease in the nurseries, they appear to not present a high risk to ornamental plants at those nurseries.

AB  - Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of WGS in identifying resistance genotypes of MDR Escherichia coli and whether these correlate with observed phenotypes. Methods: Seventy-six E. coli strains were isolated from farm cattle and measured for phenotypic resistance to 15 antimicrobials with the Sensititre® system. Isolates with resistance to at least four antimicrobials in three classes were selected for WGS using an Illumina MiSeq. Genotypic analysis was conducted with in-house Perl scripts using BLAST analysis to identify known genes and mutations associated with clinical resistance. Results: Over 30 resistance genes and a number of resistance mutations were identified among the E. coli isolates. Resistance genotypes correlated with 97.8% specificity and 99.6% sensitivity to the identified phenotypes. The majority of discordant results were attributable to the aminoglycoside streptomycin, whereas there was a perfect genotype-phenotype correlation for most antibiotic classes such as tetracyclines, quinolones and phenicols. WGS also revealed information about rare resistance mechanisms, such as structural mutations in chromosomal copies of ampC conferring third-generation cephalosporin resistance. Conclusions: WGS can provide comprehensive resistance genotypes and is capable of accurately predicting resistance phenotypes, making it a valuable tool for surveillance. Moreover, the data presented here showing the ability to accurately predict resistance suggest that WGS may be used as a screening tool in selecting anti-infective therapy, especially as costs drop and methods improve.

AB  - Background Valid methods of diet assessment are important for nutrition research and practice, but can be difficult with children. Objective To validate the 2012 version of the Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Dietary Recall for Children (ASA24-Kids-2012), a self-administered web-based 24-hour dietary recall (24hDR) instrument, among children aged 9 to 11 years, in two sites. Design Quasiexperimental. Participants/setting In one site, trained staff members observed and recorded foods and drinks consumed by children (n=38) during school lunch. The next day, the observed children completed both ASA24-Kids-2012 and an interviewer-administered 24hDR in a randomized order. Procedures in a second site (n=31) were similar, except observations occurred during dinner in a community location. Statistical analyses Foods were classified as matches (reported and consumed), intrusions (reported, but not consumed), or omissions (not reported, but consumed) for each participant. Rates of matches, intrusions, and omissions were calculated. Rates were compared between each recall method using repeated measures analysis of covariance. For matched foods, the authors determined correlation coefficients between observed and reported serving sizes. Results Match, intrusion, and omission rates between ASA24-Kids-2012 and observed intakes in Site 1 were 37%, 27%, and 35%, respectively. Comparable rates for interviewer-administered 24hDRs were 57%, 20%, and 23%, respectively. In Site 2, match, intrusion, and omission rates between ASA24-Kids-2012 and observed intakes were 53%, 12%, and 36%, respectively, vs 76% matches, 9% intrusions, and 15% omissions for interviewer-administered 24hDRs. The relationship strength between reported and observed serving sizes for matched foods was 0.18 in Site 1 and 0.09 in Site 2 for ASA24-Kids-2012, and 0.46 in Site 1 and 0.11 in Site 2 for interviewer-administered 24hDRs. Conclusions ASA24-Kids-2012 was less accurate than interviewer-administered 24hDRs when compared with observed intakes, but both performed poorly. Additional research should assess the age at which children can complete recalls without the help of a parent or guardian, as well as elucidate under which circumstances recalls can reasonably be used among children.

AB  - The fungusAspergillus flavusis known for its ability to produce the toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins in food and feed. While aflatoxins are of most concern,A. flavusis predicted to be capable of producing many more metabolites based on a study of its complete genome sequence. Some of these metabolites could be of great importance in food and feed safety. Here we describe an analytical methodology based on Orbitrap HRMS technology that allows the untargeted determination of fungal metabolites, in support of the study of the function of genes involved in secondary metabolism in fungi. The applied strategy implies the detection and identification of differentially expressed metabolites in extracts of wild-type and mutant fungal strains, using Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) accurate mass data. The suitability of this approach was demonstrated by the confirmation of previously characterised genes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway, namely a polyketide synthase (pksA), an oxidoreductase (ordA) and a methyltransferase (omtA) gene. Subsequently, the proposed methodology was applied for the detection and identification of metabolites produced by a yet uncharacterised gene cluster inA. favus, cluster 23. Comparative Orbitrap HRMS analysis of extracts ofA. flavuswild-type strain and an over-expression mutant for the transcription factor of gene cluster 23 (lepE) demonstrated that this gene cluster is responsible for the production a set of 2-pyridone derivatives, the leporins. Besides the known derivatives leporin B and leporin B precursor that could be identified by automatic de-replication of the accurate mass data, five other compounds belonging to this class of fungal secondary metabolites were detected and identified for the first time, combining MS and multiple-stage MS data.

AB  - This paper reports a new method for the determination of T-2 and HT-2 toxins and their glucosylated derivatives in cereals, and some survey data aimed at obtaining more comprehensive information on the co-occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins and their glucosylated derivatives in naturally contaminated cereal samples. For these purposes, barley samples originating from a Northern Italian area were analysed by LC-HRMS for the presence of T-2, HT-2 and relevant glucosyl derivatives. Quantitative analysis of T-2 and HT-2 glucosides was performed for the first time using a recently made available standard of T-2 glucoside. The glucosyl derivative of HT-2 was detected at levels up to 163 µg kg–1in 17 of the 18 analysed unprocessed barley grains, whereas the monoglucosyl derivative of T-2 toxin was detected in only a few samples and at low µg kg–1levels. The ratio between glucosylated toxins (sum of T-2 and HT-2 glucosides) and native toxins (sum of T-2 and HT-2) ranged from 2% to 283%. Moreover, taking advantage of the possibility of retrospective analysis of full-scan HRMS chromatograms, samples were also screened for the presence of other type-A trichothecenes, namely neosolaniol, diacetoxyscirpenol and their monoglucosyl derivatives, which were detected at trace levels. A subset of nine different samples was subjected to micro-maltation in order to carry out a preliminary investigation on the fate of T-2, HT-2 and relevant glucosides along the malting process. Mycotoxin reduction from cleaned barley to malt was observed at rates ranging from 4% to 87%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A systematic study of the deviation from size consistency of the multireference second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MRMP2) method is presented. The size-consistency error is shown to depend on the number of monomers in a supermolecule calculation, size of basis set, number of correlated valence electrons, and size of active space. HF, F2, and N2 are used as test cases, with stretched bonds, to include simple, well-defined multireference character. This is essential in ensuring that MRMP2 is being tested as a multireference method. It is concluded that the MRMP2 and other multireference perturbation theory methods can exhibit significant size-consistency errors, and that the size of the error depends on the manner in which the perturbation theory is implemented. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.

AB  - Described herein is the incorporation of nanocrystalline silicon nc-Si from porous silicon (PSi) in a silica matrix fabricated by the sol-gel technique that yields highly photoluminescent (PL) and optically transparent monoliths with uniformly distributed nc-Si inclusions or nanoclusters. The sample monoliths were prepared with PSi-derived nanoclusters (PSi-n) with average diameters of 14–45 nm. Concentrated samples of PSi-n-exhibited blueshifted orange emission bands with maximum peaks between 600 and 750 nm with PL emission intensities ten times stronger than those of the original PSi, while diluted samples exhibited UV to blue (350–450 nm) emission bands. The PL quantum yield of the typical PSi-n monoliths was 44% higher than the native PSi. Light absorption measurements showed a linear response to laser powers before the saturation threshold at 80 mW. PL bleaching following 3 h of constant laser power exposure resulted in 90% reduction of the maximum initial PL. Mechanical and thermal stability properties of nc-Si were greatly improved within the silica matrix, demonstrating that PSi-n monoliths’ are more manageable materials that enable the fabrication of samples with high densities of nc-Si for semiconducting and optoelectronic purposes. No special chemical passivation of the nc-Si surfaces was used in the preparation of the PSi-n monoliths. A strong relation between the optical properties of this nanophase material and the size distribution and concentration of nc-Si in the sample is demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Defect profile induced by implantation of Li[sup +] ions with an energy of 175 keV and a fluence of 1×10[sup 17] ions/cm[sup 2] in MgO single crystals was characterized by Rutherford backscattering and optical absorption measurements. Several absorption bands at 5.0, 3.49, 2.16, and 1.27 eV, identical to those found in neutron irradiated crystals, were observed and have been previously associated with oxygen vacancies and higher-order point defects involving oxygen vacancies. Despite the high fluence of Li[sup +] ions, no evidence was found for the formation of Li nanocolloids during implantation. Nanoindentation experiments demonstrated that both the hardness and Young’s modulus were higher in the implanted layer than in the sample before implantation. The maximum values were H=(17.4±0.4) and E=(358±9) GPa, respectively, at a contact depth of ≈165 nm. Thermal annealings in flowing argon at increasing temperatures improved the crystalline quality of the implanted layer. After annealing at 500 K, two extinction bands at ≈2.75 and 3.80 eV emerged. These bands are attributed to Mie scattering from metallic lithium nanocolloids with either a face-centered- or a body-centered-cubic structure. The latter band was almost absent by 950 K. The former reached a maximum intensity after the thermal treatment at 1050 K and disappeared by 1250 K. The behavior of these bands can be satisfactorily explained by the Maxwell–Garnett theory. The decrease in hardening cannot be correlated with the thermal destruction of the absorption bands at 5.0, 3.49, 2.16, and 1.27 eV, but rather with the annihilation of both lithium and oxygen interstitials. Lithium outdiffusion from the implanted region takes place at temperatures of ≈1100 K. It is concluded that the hardening observed in the implanted region was primarily due to the extraordinarily large concentration of both lithium and oxygen interstitials. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

AB  - Wheat varieties with a winter growth habit require long exposures to low temperatures (vernalization) to accelerate flowering. Natural variation in four vernalization genes regulating this requirement has favored wheat adaptation to different environments. The first three genes (VRN1-VRN3) have been cloned and characterized before. Here we show that the fourth gene, VRN-D4, originated by the insertion of a ~290-kb region from chromosome arm 5AL into the proximal region of chromosome arm 5DS. The inserted 5AL region includes a copy of VRN-A1 that carries distinctive mutations in its coding and regulatory regions. Three lines of evidence confirmed that this gene is VRN-D4: it cosegregated with VRN-D4 in a high-density mapping population; it was expressed earlier than other VRN1 genes in the absence of vernalization; and induced mutations in this gene resulted in delayed flowering. VRN-D4 was found in most accessions of the ancient subspecies Triticum aestivum ssp. sphaerococcum from South Asia. This subspecies showed a significant reduction of genetic diversity and increased genetic differentiation in the centromeric region of chromosome 5D, suggesting that VRN-D4 likely contributed to local adaptation and was favored by positive selection. Three adjacent SNPs in a regulatory region of the VRN-D4 first intron disrupt the binding of GLYCINE-RICH RNA-BINDING PROTEIN 2 (TaGRP2), a known repressor of VRN1 expression. The same SNPs were identified in VRN-A1 alleles previously associated with reduced vernalization requirement. These alleles can be used to modulate vernalization requirements and to develop wheat varieties better adapted to different or changing environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although natural products have been a particularly rich source of human medicines, activity-based screening results in a very high rate of rediscovery of known molecules. Based on the large number of natural product biosynthetic genes in microbial genomes, many have proposed "genome mining" as an alternative approach for discovery efforts; however, this idea has yet to be performed experimentally on a large scale. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale, high-throughput genome mining by screening a collection of over 10,000 actinomycetes for the genetic potential to make phosphonic acids, a class of natural products with diverse and useful bioactivities. Genome sequencing identified a diverse collection of phosphonate biosynthetic gene clusters within 278 strains. These clusters were classified into 64 distinct groups, of which 55 are likely to direct the synthesis of unknown compounds. Characterization of strains within five of these groups resulted in the discovery of a new archetypical pathway for phosphonate biosynthesis, the first (to our knowledge) dedicated pathway for H-phosphinates, and 11 previously undescribed phosphonic acid natural products. Among these compounds are argolaphos, a broad-spectrum antibacterial phosphonopeptide composed of amino-methylphosphonate in peptide linkage to a rare amino acid N5-hydroxyarginine; valinophos, an N-acetyl L-Val ester of 2,3-dihy-droxypropylphosphonate; and phosphonocystoximate, an unusual thiohydroximate-containing molecule representing a new chemo-type of sulfur-containing phosphonate natural products. Analysis of the genome sequences from the remaining strains suggests that the majority of the phosphonate biosynthetic repertoire of Actino-bacteria has been captured at the gene level. This dereplicated strain collection now provides a reservoir of numerous, as yet undiscovered, phosphonate natural products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Phenolic aldehydes generated from lignocellulose pretreatment exhibited severe toxic inhibitions on microbial growth and fermentation. Numerous tolerance studies against furfural, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF), acetate, and ethanol were reported, but studies on inhibition of phenolic aldehyde inhibitors are rare. For ethanologenic strains, Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 is high in ethanol productivity and genetic manipulation feasibility, but sensitive to phenolic aldehyde inhibitors. Molecular mechanisms of tolerance for Z. mobilis toward phenolic aldehydes are not known. Results: We took the first insight into genomic response of Z. mobilis ZM4 to the phenolic aldehyde inhibitors derived from lignocellulose pretreatment. The results suggest that the toxicity to cells is caused by the functional group of phenolic aldehyde, similar to furfural and HMF, rather than aromatic groups or phenolic hydroxyl groups. Transcriptome response against 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, and vanillin, representing phenolic groups H, S, and G, respectively, was investigated. The atlas of the important genes responsible for significantly enhanced and repressed genes at the genomic level was illustrated. 272 genes with twofold greater expressions than non-treated controls and 36 gene clusters in response to challenges of these phenolic aldehydes were identified. Several reductases encoded by ZMO1116, ZMO1696, and ZMO1885 were found to play the key roles in reducing phenolic aldehydes into the corresponding phenolic alcohols. Reduction of phenolic aldehydes by overexpression of ZMO1116, ZMO1696, and ZMO1885 in Z. mobilis ZM4 resulted in the increased inhibitor conversion and ethanol productivity, especially for 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin. Several transporter genes such as ZMO0282, ZMO0283, ZMO0798, ZMO0799, and ZMO0800 was also displayed significantly increased expressions against the phenolic aldehydes. Conclusions: The genes encoding reductases are with potentials on phenolic aldehydes-tolerant genes contributing to the reduction of phenolic aldehydes into the corresponding phenolic alcohols forms for Z. mobilis ZM4. Overexpression of the key genes improved the conversion ratio and ethanol productivity of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin with high toxicity. New knowledge obtained from this research aids understanding the mechanisms of bacterial tolerance and the development of the next-generation biocatalysts for advanced biofuels production.

AB  - Inorganic carbon (IC) in soil is important when considering carbon (C) fluxes and processes in the environment that involve C. Here data are presented for measurement of IC in soils using the pressure-calcimeter method of Sherrod et al. (2002) with modifications to decrease analysis time while preserving method accuracy. Inorganic C measured using a syringe to inject acid vs. the vial delivery method of the original method were not significantly different at the 95 percent confidence level when using 100-ml bottles for the analysis (R2 = 0.9946). When using 20-ml bottles, bias was introduced in the measurement when using a syringe for acid delivery, likely due to small losses of pressure from the bottle during acid delivery. There was no significant difference at the 95 percent confidence level in IC measured on unsieved finely ground and coarsely ground soil. When quantifying IC in soils using the modified pressure calcimeter method with a 100-ml bottle, a syringe can be used to inject acid into the capped bottle rather than dropping a vial into the bottle and then capping it. This modification results in a modest reduction in cost and significant reduction in time required for analysis and cleanup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Tissue browning greatly affects the quality and consumer acceptance of fresh-cut lettuce. Unfortunately, effective antibrowning agents that either have antimicrobial activity or compatibility are hard to find. This study investigated the effects of ethanol treatment on enzymatic browning and microbial growth on lettuce stem discs. Lettuce stem discs were treated with ethanol (200 mL/L) for 2 min, drained by salad spinner, packaged in Ziploc ® bags and stored at 5 °C. Stem discs treated with ethanol exhibited better appearance and lower microbial loads than untreated samples within 14 days of storage time. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase mRNA level and enzymatic activities in the ethanol treated group were significantly suppressed, and total phenols and quinones were also reduced. In addition, ethanol treatment increased CO 2 production and reduced O 2 level inside the package. In comparison to heat shock, trans-cinnamaldehyde and salicylic acid immersion, ethanol treated lettuce stem discs had the least browning and best quality attributes. These results indicated that 200 mL/L ethanol treatment was the most effective approach to inhibit enzymatic browning and control microbial growth on lettuce stem discs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bioenergy deployment offers significant potential for climate change mitigation, but also carries considerable risks. In this review, we bring together perspectives of various communities involved in the research and regulation of bioenergy deployment in the context of climate change mitigation: Land-use and energy experts, land-use and integrated assessment modelers, human geographers, ecosystem researchers, climate scientists and two different strands of life-cycle assessment experts. We summarize technological options, outline the state-of-the-art knowledge on various climate effects, provide an update on estimates of technical resource potential and comprehensively identify sustainability effects. Cellulosic feedstocks, increased end-use efficiency, improved land carbon-stock management and residue use, and, when fully developed, BECCS appear as the most promising options, depending on development costs, implementation, learning, and risk management. Combined heat and power, efficient biomass cookstoves and small-scale power generation for rural areas can help to promote energy access and sustainable development, along with reduced emissions. We estimate the sustainable technical potential as up to 100 EJ: high agreement; 100-300 EJ: medium agreement; above 300 EJ: low agreement. Stabilization scenarios indicate that bioenergy may supply from 10 to 245 EJ yr−1 to global primary energy supply by 2050. Models indicate that, if technological and governance preconditions are met, large-scale deployment (>200 EJ), together with BECCS, could help to keep global warming below 2° degrees of preindustrial levels; but such high deployment of land-intensive bioenergy feedstocks could also lead to detrimental climate effects, negatively impact ecosystems, biodiversity and livelihoods. The integration of bioenergy systems into agriculture and forest landscapes can improve land and water use efficiency and help address concerns about environmental impacts. We conclude that the high variability in pathways, uncertainties in technological development and ambiguity in political decision render forecasts on deployment levels and climate effects very difficult. However, uncertainty about projections should not preclude pursuing beneficial bioenergy options. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Currently, the family Tombusviridae encompasses thirteen viral genera that contain single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes and isometric virions; the exception being the genus Umbravirus, whose members do not encode a coat protein (CP). A new genus, tentatively named Pelarspovirus, is proposed to be added to this family and would include five members, with Pelargonium line pattern virus recommended as the type species. Viruses assigned to this proposed genus have monopartite genomes encoding five open reading frames (ORFs) that include two 5′-proximal replication proteins, two centrally located movement proteins (MP1 and MP2) and a 3′-proximal CP that, at least for pelargonium line pattern virus (PLPV), has been shown to act also as suppressor of RNA silencing. Distinguishing characteristics of these viruses include i) production of a single, tricistronic subgenomic RNA for expression of MP and CP genes, ii) presence of a non-AUG start codon (CUG or GUG) initiating the MP2 ORF, iii) absence of AUG codons in any frame between the AUG initiation codons of MP1 and CP genes, and iv) sequence-based phylogenetic clustering of all encoded proteins in separate clades from those of other family members.

AB  - The mutualism between xyleborine beetles in the genus Euwallacea (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and members of the Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) represents one of 11 known evolutionary origins of fungiculture by ambrosia beetles. Female Euwallacea beetles transport fusarial symbionts in paired mandibular mycangia from their natal gallery to woody hosts where they are cultivated in galleries as a source of food. Native to Asia, several exotic Euwallacea species were introduced into the United States and Israel within the past two decades and they now threaten urban landscapes, forests and avocado production. To assess species limits and to date the evolutionary diversification of the mutualists, we reconstructed the evolutionary histories of key representatives of the Fusarium and Euwallacea clades using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods. Twelve species-level lineages, termed AF 1–12, were identified within the monophyletic AFC and seven among the Fusarium -farming Euwallacea . Bayesian diversification-time estimates placed the origin of the Euwallacea – Fusarium mutualism near the Oligocene–Miocene boundary ∼19–24 Mya. Most Euwallacea spp. appear to be associated with one species of Fusarium , but two species farmed two closely related fusaria. Euwallacea sp. #2 in Miami-Dade County, Florida cultivated Fusarium spp. AF-6 and AF-8 on avocado, and Euwallacea sp. #4 farmed Fusarium ambrosium AF-1 and Fusarium sp. AF-11 on Chinese tea in Sri Lanka. Cophylogenetic analyses indicated that the Euwallacea and Fusarium phylogenies were largely incongruent, apparently due to the beetles switching fusarial symbionts (i.e., host shifts) at least five times during the evolution of this mutualism. Three cospeciation events between Euwallacea and their AFC symbionts were detected, but randomization tests failed to reject the null hypothesis that the putative parallel cladogenesis is a stochastic pattern. Lastly, two collections of Euwallacea sp. #2 from Miami-Dade County, Florida shared an identical cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) allele with Euwallacea validus , suggesting introgressive hybridization between these species and/or pseudogenous nature of this marker. Results of the present study highlight the importance of understanding the potential for and frequency of host-switching between Euwallacea and members of the AFC, and that these shifts may bring together more aggressive and virulent combinations of these invasive mutualists.

AB  - Insects and other animals sometimes modify behavior in response to changes in atmospheric pressure, an environmental cue that can provide warning of potentially injurious windy and rainy weather. To determine if Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) calling, mate-seeking, and phototaxis behaviors were affected by atmospheric pressure, we conducted analyses to correlate responsiveness with pressure trends over periods up to 48 h before laboratory bioassays. Mean responsiveness increased or decreased depending on the magnitudes and directions of pressure changes measured over different periods up to 24 h before bioassays, and changed differently in calling and mate-seeking bioassays than in phototaxis bioassays. For example, mean responsiveness decreased in mating behavior bioassays but increased in phototaxis bioassays when atmospheric pressure changed more than one standard deviation over a 24-h period. Such a result is consistent with a hypothesis that there may be survival benefits to focusing energy on dispersal or migration rather than mating after occurrences of sustained, unusual pressure changes. A finding that mean phototactic responses increased when pressure decreased over 9-24-h periods before bioassays is potentially of practical interest. More knowledge about the effects of atmospheric pressure and other environmental variables on behavior can lead to improved models of psyllid movement or other pest management tools as well as to improved timing of application of pest management tools.

AB  - The objective of this study was to test how the genetic polymorphisms located within the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) locus would modulate the relationship between a diet high in carbohydrate and insulin resistance related traits in metabolic syndrome adults. A one year nutritional intervention study focusing on education to increase dietary intake of whole grain, vegetable and fruit, and to reduce the intake of sodium, simple sugar and dietary fat (especially cooking oil and pork lard) was conducted. Two districts in Shanghai, China were randomly selected to be the intervention and control group, and patients (n=235) with metabolic syndrome within these two districts were selected based on a multistage sampling method. Fasting glucose was reduced in rs328 CC homozygotes (p=0.028) but not G carriers (p=0.686) within the intervention group. Also an ancillary study with greater statistical power by combining the baseline measurements across both the intervention and control groups was conducted to test the cross-sectional statistical interactions between carbohydrate/fat and lipoprotein lipase genotypes for homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance/insulin/fasting glucose. Increased carbohydrate intakes were positively associated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin in rs328 G carriers but not CC homozygotes (p for interaction was 0.025). These results indicate that diet high in carbohydrate may not be suitable for metabolic syndrome rs328 G carriers, calling for the development of personalized dietary intervention for metabolic syndrome subjects.

AB  - Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in accumulation of copper in the liver as a consequence of mutations in the gene encoding the copper-transporting P-type ATPase (ATP7B). WD is a chronic liver disorder, and individuals with the disease present with a variety of complications, including steatosis, cholestasis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Similar to patients with WD, Atp7b-/- mice have markedly elevated levels of hepatic copper and liver pathology. Previous studies have demonstrated that replacement of zinc in the DNA-binding domain of the estrogen receptor (ER) with copper disrupts specific binding to DNA response elements. Here, we found decreased binding of the nuclear receptors FXR, RXR, HNF4α, and LRH-1 to promoter response elements and decreased mRNA expression of nuclear receptortarget genes in Atp7b-/- mice, as well as in adult and pediatric WD patients. Excessive hepatic copper has been described in progressive familial cholestasis (PFIC), and we found that similar to individuals with WD, patients with PFIC2 or PFIC3 who have clinically elevated hepatic copper levels exhibit impaired nuclear receptor activity. Together, these data demonstrate that copper-mediated nuclear receptor dysfunction disrupts liver function in WD and potentially in other disorders associated with increased hepatic copper levels.

AB  - Stripe rust (or yellow rust), caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst), is a devastating fungal disease of common wheat. Wheat line P9897 showed adult-plant resistance (APR) to stripe rust for several years. To map resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL), F lines from a cross of P9897 with susceptible Mingxiang 169 were phenotyped for stripe rust response in replicated field trials in 2013. Resistance gene analog polymorphism and simple sequence repeat markers were used to identify markers linked to the resistance QTL. Two QTL, QYr.nafu- 2BL and QYr.nafu- 3BS conferring APR to stripe rust, were mapped to 8.8 and 3.3 cM intervals on chromosome 2BL and 3BL, respectively. QYr.nafu- 2BL is likely a new APR gene for resistance to stripe rust, and QYr.nafu- 3BS is likely the same locus as previously identified QYr.uga- 3BS.1. These QTL with linked markers could be used in developing wheat cultivars with stripe rust resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. Caloric restriction (CR), energy intake reduced below ad libitum (AL) intake, increases life span in many species. The implications for humans can be clarified by randomized controlled trials of CR. Methods. To determine CR's feasibility, safety, and effects on predictors of longevity, disease risk factors, and quality of life in nonobese humans aged 21-51 years, 218 persons were randomized to a 2-year intervention designed to achieve 25% CR or to AL diet. Outcomes were change from baseline resting metabolic rate adjusted for weight change ("RMR residual") and core temperature (primary); plasma triiodothyronine (T3) and tumor necrosis factor-α (secondary); and exploratory physiological and psychological measures. Results. Body mass index averaged 25.1 (range: 21.9-28.0 kg/m²). Eighty-two percent of CR and 95% of AL participants completed the protocol. The CR group achieved 11.7±0.7 %CR (mean ± standard error) and maintained 10.4±0.4% weight loss. Weight change in AL was negligible. RMR residual decreased significantly more in CR than AL at 12 months (p = .04) but not 24 months (M24). Core temperature change differed little between groups. T3 decreased more in CR at M12 and M24 (p < .001), while tumor necrosis factor-a decreased significantly more only at M24 (p= .02). CR had larger decreases in cardiometabolic riskfactors and in daily energy expenditure adjusted for weight change, without adverse effects on quality of life. Conclusions. Sustained CR is feasible in nonobese humans. The effects of the achieved CR on correlates of human survival and disease riskfactors suggest potential benefits for aging-related outcomes that could be elucidated by further human studies.

AB  - Carbonaceous solid–water slurry rheology is greatly affected by the surface properties of the carbonaceous solids used. Slurriability studies showed that, for the same solids loading, viscosities of highly hydrophobic petcoke and bitumen–water slurries were approximately one order of magnitude higher than the viscosity of non-hydrophobic Illinois #6 (bituminous) coal–water slurry. Apart from slurriability, the hydrophobicity of the carbonaceous solids was found to influence the type of additives used to reduce the viscosity. Selected to reduce viscosity, the addition of non-ionic additive Triton X-405 caused a drastic reduction in petcoke and bitumen–water slurry viscosities, whereas anionic additive ammonium lignosulfonate reduced Illinois #6 coal–water mixture viscosity more effectively. Optimum particle-size distribution was also found to be dependent on the surface properties of the solids. Experimentally determined optimum particle-size distributions were observed to deviate from the theoretical predictions. A deviation of 8% was noted in the case of Illinois #6 coal–water slurry, whereas deviations of 30% were observed in the case of hydrophobic bitumen and petcoke–water slurries. Viscosity predictions of semi-empirical models were compared to experimentally measured viscosities. The predicted viscosities did not match the experimental results, especially at higher solids loading.

AB  - Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is a global insect pest that transmits many important plant viruses. A field study was conducted on infestation by B. tabaci and incidence of whitefly-transmitted viruses after the application of selected foliar and seed-treated biorational insecticides in seven vegetable and row crops in Egypt. Three foliar insecticides (Actara, Biofly and Neemix) and a treated check (Actellic) were assayed across three weeks on seedlings and mature plants, and two seed-treated insecticides (Actara and Gaucho) and a treated check (Aldicarb) were assayed on seedlings. All of the foliar insecticides led to 60–100% reductions in whitefly infestations in each crop. Biofly and Neemix were the least efficacious insecticides. Incidences of whitefly-transmitted viruses were reduced in each insecticide-treated plot with seedlings of four crops; however, no effect on virus incidence was observed in the experiment with mature plants. Crops of cucumber, eggplant, squash and tomato displayed symptoms characteristic of Cucumber vein yellowing virus, Squash leaf curl virus or Tomato yellow leaf curl virus; however, no symptoms of whitefly-transmitted viruses were observed in green bean, potato or sugar beet. The results show that several biorational insecticides may suppress whitefly populations in seedlings to delay whitefly-transmitted viruses in some vegetable crops in Egypt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Great Plains region of the United States is an agricultural production center for the global market and, as such, an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This article uses historical agricultural census data and ecosystem models to estimate the magnitude of annual GHG fluxes from all agricultural sources (e.g., cropping, livestock raising, irrigation, fertilizer production, tractor use) in the Great Plains from 1870 to 2000. Here, we show that carbon (C) released during the plow-out of native grasslands was the largest source of GHG emissions before 1930, whereas livestock production, direct energy use, and soil nitrous oxide emissions are currently the largest sources. Climatic factors mediate these emissions, with cool and wet weather promoting C sequestration and hot and dry weather increasing GHG release. This analysis demonstrates the long-term ecosystem consequences of both historical and current agricultural activities, but also indicates that adoption of available alternative management practices could substantially mitigate agricultural GHG fluxes, ranging from a 34% reduction with a 25% adoption rate to as much as complete elimination with possible net sequestration of C when a greater proportion of farmers adopt new agricultural practices.

AB  - Setting aside high-quality large areas of habitat to protect threatened populations is becoming increasingly difficult as humans fragment and degrade the environment. Biologists and managers therefore must determine the best way to shepherd small populations through the dual challenges of reductions in both the number of individuals and genetic variability. By bringing in additional individuals, threatened populations can be increased in size (demographic rescue) or provided with variation to facilitate adaptation and reduce inbreeding (genetic rescue). The relative strengths of demographic and genetic rescue for reducing extinction and increasing growth of threatened populations are untested, and which type of rescue is effective may vary with population size. Using the flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) in a microcosm experiment, we disentangled the genetic and demographic components of rescue, and compared them with adaptation from standing genetic variation (evolutionary rescue in the strictest sense) using 244 experimental populations founded at either a smaller (50 individuals) or larger (150 individuals) size. Both types of rescue reduced extinction, and those effects were additive. Over the course of six generations, genetic rescue increased population sizes and intrinsic fitness substantially. Both large and small populations showed evidence of being able to adapt from standing genetic variation. Our results support the practice of genetic rescue in facilitating adaptation and reducing inbreeding depression, and suggest that demographic rescue alone may suffice in larger populations even if only moderately inbred individuals are available for addition.

AB  - N2O is an important greenhouse gas and the primary stratospheric ozone depleting substance. Its deleterious effects on the environment have prompted appeals to regulate emissions from agriculture, which represents the primary anthropogenic source in the global N2O budget. Successful implementation of mitigation strategies requires robust bottom-up inventories that are based on emission factors (EFs), simulation models, or a combination of the two. Top-down emission estimates, based on tall-tower and aircraft observations, indicate that bottom-up inventories severely underestimate regional and continental scale N2O emissions, implying that EFs may be biased low. Here, we measured N2O emissions from streams within the US Corn Belt using a chamber-based approach and analyzed the data as a function of Strahler stream order (S). N2O fluxes from headwater streams often exceeded 29 nmol N2O-N m-2.s-1 and decreased exponentially as a function of S. This relation was used to scale up riverine emissions and to assess the differences between bottom-up and top-down emission inventories at the local to regional scale. We found that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indirect EF for rivers (EF5r) is underestimated up to ninefold in southern Minnesota, which translates to a total tier 1 agricultural underestimation of N2O emissions by 40%.We show that accounting for zero-order streams as potential N2O hotspots can more than double the agricultural budget. Applying the same analysis to the US Corn Belt demonstrates that the IPCC EF5r underestimation explains the large differences observed between top-down and bottom-up emission estimates.

AB  - A facile approach to bimetallic phosphides, Co-Fe-P, by a high-temperature (300 °C) reaction between Co-Fe-O nanoparticles and trioctylphosphine is presented. The growth of Co-Fe-P from the Co-Fe-O is anisotropic. As a result, Co-Fe-P nanorods (from the polyhedral Co-Fe-O nanoparticles) and sea-urchin-like Co-Fe-P (from the cubic Co-Fe-O nanoparticles) are synthesized with both the nanorod and the sea-urchin-arm dimensions controlled by Co/Fe ratios. The Co-Fe-P structure, especially the sea-urchin-like (Co0.54Fe0.46)2P, shows enhanced catalysis for the oxygen evolution reaction in KOH with its catalytic efficiency surpassing the commercial Ir catalyst. Our synthesis is simple and may be readily extended to the preparation of other multimetallic phosphides for important catalysis and energy storage applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - {BoMCptet}Lu(CH2Ph)2 (1; BoMCptet = MeC(OxMe2)2C5Me4; OxMe2 = 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline) was prepared in 95% yield from the reaction of BoMCptetH and Lu(CH2Ph)3THF3. Compound 1 reacts with 1 or 2 equiv of H2NCH2R (R = C6H5, 1-C10H7) to give the corresponding imido complexes [{BoMCptet}LuNCH2R]2 (R = C6H5 (2a), 1-C10H7 (2b)) or amido complexes {BoMCptet}Lu(NHCH2R)2 (R = C6H5 (3a), 1-C10H7 (3b)). Once isolated, the imido species are insoluble in nonprotic organic solvents. Crystallographic characterization reveals dimeric [{BoMCptet}LuNCH2(1-C10H7)]2 in the solid state. The reaction of 1 and NH3B(C6F5)3 affords crystallographically characterized {BoMCptet}Lu{NHB(C6F5)2}C6F5. This species is proposed to form via a transient lutetium imido, which undergoes C6F5 migration to the lutetium center. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and indicators of cognitive function. Design Randomized clinical trial (Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders Trial). Setting Eight US academic centers. Participants A total of 1601 adults ages 70–89 years, sedentary, without dementia, and with functional limitations. Measurements Baseline ABI and interviewer- and computer-administered cognitive function assessments were obtained. These assessments were used to compare a physical activity intervention with a health education control. Cognitive function was reassessed 24 months later (interviewer-administered) and 18 or 30 months later (computer-administered) and central adjudication was used to classify individuals as having mild cognitive impairment, probable dementia, or neither. Results Lower ABI had a modest independent association with poorer cognitive functioning at baseline (partial r = 0.09; P < .001). Although lower baseline ABI was not associated with overall changes in cognitive function test scores, it was associated with higher odds for 2-year progression to a composite of either mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia (odds ratio 2.60 per unit lower ABI; 95% confidence interval 1.06–6.37). Across 2 years, changes in ABI were not associated with changes in cognitive function. Conclusion In an older cohort sedentary individuals with dementia and with functional limitations, lower baseline ABI was independently correlated with cognitive function and associated with greater 2-year risk for progression to mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia.

AB  - Riparian seeps have been recognized for their contributions to stream flow in headwater catchments, but there is limited data on how seeps affect stream water quality. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of seeps on the variability of stream NO3-N concentrations in FD36 and RS, two agricultural catchments in Pennsylvania. Stream samples were collected at 10-m intervals over reaches of 550 ( FD36) and 490 m ( RS) on 21 occasions between April 2009 and January 2012. Semi-variogram analysis was used to quantify longitudinal patterns in stream NO3-N concentration. Seep water was collected at 14 sites in FD36 and 7 in RS, but the number of flowing seeps depended on antecedent conditions. Seep NO3-N concentrations were variable (0.1-29.5 mg/l) and were often greater downslope of cropped fields compared to other land uses. During base flow, longitudinal variability in stream NO3-N concentrations increased as the number of flowing seeps increased. The influence of seeps on the variability of stream NO3-N concentrations was less during storm flow compared to the variability of base flow NO3-N concentrations. However, 24 h after a storm in FD36, an increase in the number of flowing seeps and decreasing streamflow resulted in the greatest longitudinal variability in stream NO3-N concentrations recorded. Results indicate seeps are important areas of NO3-N delivery to streams where targeted adoption of mitigation measures may substantially improve stream water quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Juvenile sablefish were fed a low taurine, basal feed with seven graded levels of supplemental taurine to determine taurine requirements for growth and feed efficiency. The basal feed was plant based, formulated primarily with soy and corn proteins with a minimal (9%) amount of fishmeal. The unsupplemented, basal feed contained 0.14% taurine. Experimental feeds were supplemented with 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0% taurine. Using the five parameter, saturated kinetic model (5 SKM), peak weight gain was predicted at 1.5% dietary taurine. Optimum weight gain, as defined as the region of the 5 SKM curve corresponding to at least 95% of peak, was predicted between 0.4% and 5.8% dietary taurine. Peak feed efficiency was predicted at 1.1% dietary taurine with optimum weight gain predicted between 0.4% and 4.2%. Whole body and muscle tissue protein and lipid content were not affected by taurine supplementation. Tissue taurine content increased asymptotically with increasing dietary taurine supplementation. Whole body tissue became saturated at 0.25 ± 0.02% taurine, expressed on a wet weight basis. Muscle tissue became saturated at 0.34 ± 0.02% taurine. Results from this study should increase the performance of alternative, plant based feeds formulated for sablefish and enable regulatory agencies better estimate the potential human exposure to taurine from the consumption of sablefish receiving these feeds.

T1  - A ToxA-like protein from Cochliobolus heterostrophus induces light-dependent leaf necrosis and acts as a virulence factor with host selectivity on maize.

AB  - ToxA, the first discovered fungal proteinaceous host-selective toxin (HST), was originally identified in 1989 from the tan spot fungus Pyrenophora tritici - repentis ( Ptr ). About 25 years later, a homolog was identified in the leaf/glume blotch fungus Stagonospora nodorum ( Parastagonospora nodorum ), also a pathogen of wheat. Here we report the identification and function of a ToxA-like protein from the maize pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus ( Ch ) that possesses necrosis-inducing activity specifically against maize. Ch ToxA is encoded by a 535-bp open reading frame featuring a ToxA -specific intron with unusual splicing sites (5′-ATAAGT…TAC-3′) at conserved positions relative to PtrToxA . The protein shows 64% similarity to Ptr ToxA and is predicted to adopt a similar three-dimensional structure, although lacking the arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) motif reported to be required for internalization into sensitive wheat mesophyll cells. Reverse-transcriptase PCR revealed that the ChTOX A gene expression is up-regulated in planta , relative to axenic culture. Plant assays indicated that the recombinant Ch ToxA protein induces light-dependent leaf necrosis in a host-selective manner on maize inbred lines. Gene deletion experiments confirmed that ChtoxA mutants are reduced in virulence on specific Ch ToxA-sensitive maize lines, relative to virulence caused by wild-type strains. Database searches identified potential Ch ToxA homologues in other plant-pathogenic ascomycetes. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the corresponding ToxA-like proteins include one member recently shown to be associated with formation of penetration hypha. These results provide the first evidence that C . heterostrophus is capable of producing proteinaceous HSTs as virulence factors in addition to well-known secondary metabolite-type toxins produced biosynthetically by polyketide synthase megaenzymes. Further studies on Ch ToxA may provide new insights into effector evolution in host–pathogen interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examined the fate of Listeria monocytogenes , Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella enterica Thompson inoculated on freshly-harvested table grapes under standard cold storage with initial and weekly sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) fumigation. L. monocytogenes and S. enterica Thompson were much more sensitive to cold temperature than E. coli O157:H7. Furthermore, L. monocytogenes was highly susceptible to SO 2 . Initial fumigation with 100 or 200 ppm-hr was sufficient to eliminate this pathogen on grapes with low (10 4 cells/grape) and high (10 6 cells/grape) inocula, respectively. Initial fumigation with 300 ppm-hr reduced S. enterica Thompson population about 300- and 10-fold on grapes with low and high inocula, respectively. Initial fumigation with 300 ppm-hr reduced E. coli O157:H7 population to less than 10-fold, regardless of inoculum density. When grapes were inoculated with the high inoculum and fumigated on days 0 and 7 with 200 or 300 ppm-hr SO 2 , S. enterica Thompson and E. coli O157:H7 were completely inactivated between days 8 and 14 of cold storage. Standard cold storage combined with SO 2 fumigation was effective in reducing and eliminating all three pathogens on table grapes, however, depending on the dose, two or three fumigations were needed for elimination of S. enterica Thompson and E. coli O157:H7.

AB  - Yellow (or stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst), is an important wheat disease worldwide. The development of wheat cultivars with adult plant resistance (APR) has been given increasing emphasis in recent years because of the reputed durability of APR compared to all-stage resistance. Wheat landrace Caoxuan 5 showed a high level of APR in field nurseries from 2008 to 2014. Bulked segregant analysis using resistance gene analog polymorphism, simple sequence repeat and sequence-tagged site markers identified molecular markers linked to resistance genes. A total of 176 F lines were evaluated for stripe rust response in field nurseries at two sites for 2 years. Broad sense heritability of APR in the population was estimated as 0.81. Inclusive composite interval mapping identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) QYrcx.nafu- 3BS and QYrcx.nafu- 6AL conferring adult plant resistance and they explained 17.3-38.1 % and 9.7-19.8 % of the phenotypic variations, respectively. Based on molecular markers, both QTL appear to be different from previously identified stripe rust resistance genes. The resistance QTL and their molecular markers identified in Caoxuan 5 should be useful in breeding for stripe rust resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We evaluated the long-term (1995-2008) trends in foliar and sapwood metabolism, soil solution chemistry and tree mortality rates in response to chronic nitrogen (N) additions to pine and hardwood stands at the Harvard Forest Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. Common stress-related metabolites like polyamines (PAs), free amino acids (AAs) and inorganic elements were analyzed for control, low N (LN, 50 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1) and high N (HN, 150 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1) treatments. In the pine stands, partitioning of excess N into foliar PAs and AAs increased with both N treatments until 2002. By 2005, several of these effects on N metabolites disappeared for HN, and by 2008 they were mostly observed for LN plot. A significant decline in foliar Ca and P was observed mostly with HN for a few years until 2005. However, sapwood data actually showed an increase in Ca, Mg and Mn and no change in PAs in the HN plot for 2008, while AAs data revealed trends that were generally similar to foliage for 2008. Concomitant with these changes, mortality data revealed a large number of dead trees in HN pine plots by 2002; the mortality rate started to decline by 2005. Oak trees in the hardwood plot did not exhibit any major changes in PAs, AAs, nutrients and mortality rate with LN treatment, indicating that oak trees were able to tolerate the yearly doses of 50 kg NH4NO3 ha-1 year-1. However, HN trees suffered from physiological and nutritional stress along with increased mortality in 2008. In this case also, foliar data were supported by the sapwood data. Overall, both low and high N applications resulted in greater physiological stress to the pine trees than the oaks. In general, the time course of changes in metabolic data are in agreement with the published reports on changes in soil chemistry and microbial community structure, rates of soil carbon sequestration and production of woody biomass for this chronic N study. This correspondence of selected metabolites with other measures of forest functions suggests that the metabolite analyses are useful for long-term monitoring of the health of forest trees.

AB  - Crop water production functions (CWPFs) are often expressed as crop yield vs. consumptive water use or irrigation water applied. CWPFs are helpful for optimizing management of limited water resources, but are site-specific and vary from year to year, especially when yield is expressed as a function of irrigation water applied. Designing limited irrigation practices requires deriving CWPFs from long-term field data to account for variation in precipitation and other climatic variables at a location. However, long-term field experimental data are seldom available. We developed location-specific (soil and climate) long-term averaged CWPFs for corn ( Zea mays L.) using the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2) and 20 years (1992–2011) of historical weather data from three counties of Colorado. Mean CWPFs as functions of crop evapotranspiration ( ET ), ET due to irrigation ( ET a–d ), irrigation ( I ), and plant water supply ( PWS = effective rainfall + plant available water in the soil profile at planting + applied irrigation) were developed for three soil types at each location. Normalization of the developed CWPF across soils and climates was also developed. A Cobb–Douglas type response function was used to explain the mean yield responses to applied irrigations and extend the CWPFs for drip, sprinkler and surface irrigation methods, respectively, assuming irrigation application efficiencies of 95, 85 and 55%, respectively. The CWPFs developed for corn, and other crops, are being used in an optimizer program for decision support in limited irrigation water management in Colorado. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using solution31P NMR spectroscopy, we compared three extractants, deionized water, sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) with fresh sodium dithionite (NaAc-SD), and 0.25 M NaOH–0.05 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (NaOH-EDTA), for the profile of P compounds in two dairy fecal samples. Phosphorus extracted was 35 percent for water and 80–100 percent for NaAc-SD and NaOH-EDTA. Water extracted a greater proportion of organic P forms, particularly orthophosphate diesters, but a lower proportion of orthophosphate relative to NaOH-EDTA and NaAc-SD. Phosphorus recoveries and spectra were generally similar for NaOH-EDTA and NaAc-SD, but there was increased degradation of polyphosphate to pyrophosphate with NaOH-EDTA, and water, for one sample relative to NaAc-SD. For studies characterizing and quantifying all the P forms in manure and fecal samples, these results suggest that either NaOH-EDTA or NaAc-SD would be a good choice. However, extraction with water may be a better choice for studies monitoring labile manure P and potential environmental impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants synthesizes a variety of structural and defence compounds, and is an important target in efforts to reduce cell wall lignin for improved biomass conversion to biofuels. Little is known concerning the trade-offs in grasses when perturbing the function of the first gene family in the pathway, PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE (PAL). Therefore, PAL isoforms in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon were targeted, by RNA interference (RNAi), and large reductions (up to 85%) in stem tissue transcript abundance for two of the eight putative BdPAL genes were identified. The cell walls of stems of BdPAL-knockdown plants had reductions of 43% in lignin and 57% in cell wall-bound ferulate, and a nearly 2-fold increase in the amounts of polysaccharide-derived carbohydrates released by thermo-chemical and hydrolytic enzymic partial digestion. PAL-knockdown plants exhibited delayed development and reduced root growth, along with increased susceptibilities to the fungal pathogens Fusarium culmorum and Magnaporthe oryzae. Surprisingly, these plants generally had wild-type (WT) resistances to caterpillar herbivory, drought, and ultraviolet light. RNA sequencing analyses revealed that the expression of genes associated with stress responses including ethylene biosynthesis and signalling were significantly altered in PAL knocked-down plants under non-challenging conditions. These data reveal that, although an attenuation of the phenylpropanoid pathway increases carbohydrate availability for biofuel, it can adversely affect plant growth and disease resistance to fungal pathogens. The data identify notable differences between the stress responses of these monocot pal mutants versus Arabidopsis (a dicot) pal mutants and provide insights into the challenges that may arise when deploying phenylpropanoid pathway-altered bioenergy crops.

AB  - In Agave tequilana, reproductive failure or inadequate flower development stimulates the formation of vegetative bulbils at the bracteoles, ensuring survival in a hostile environment. Little is known about the signals that trigger this probably unique phenomenon in agave species. Here we report that auxin plays a central role in bulbil development and show that the localization of PIN1-related proteins is consistent with altered auxin transport during this process. Analysis of agave transcriptome data led to the identification of the A. tequilana orthologue of PIN1 (denoted AtqPIN1) and a second closely related gene from a distinct clade reported as 'Sister of PIN1' (denoted AtqSoPIN1). Quantitative real-time reverse transcription--PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis showed different patterns of expression for each gene during bulbil formation, and heterologous expression of the A. tequilana PIN1 and SoPIN1 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana con- firmed functional differences between these genes. Although no free auxin was detected in induced pedicel samples, changes in the levels of auxin precursors were observed. Taken as a whole, the data support the model that AtqPIN1 and AtqSoPIN1 have co-ordinated but distinct functions in relation to auxin transport during the initial stages of bulbil formation.

AB  - Around 14 distinct virus species-complexes have been detected in honeybees, each with one or more strains or sub-species. Here we present the initial characterization of an entirely new virus species-complex discovered in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) and varroa mite (Varroa destructor) samples from Europe and the USA. The virus has a naturally poly-adenylated RNA genome of about 6500 nucleotides with a genome organization and sequence similar to the Tymoviridae (Tymovirales; Tymoviridae), a predominantly plant-infecting virus family. Literature and laboratory analyses indicated that the virus had not previously been described. The virus is very common in French apiaries, mirroring the results from an extensive Belgian survey, but could not be detected in equally-extensive Swedish and Norwegian bee disease surveys. The virus appears to be closely linked to varroa, with the highest prevalence found in varroa samples and a clear seasonal distribution peaking in autumn, coinciding with the natural varroa population development. Sub-genomic RNA analyses show that bees are definite hosts, while varroa is a possible host and likely vector. The tentative name of Bee Macula-like virus (BeeMLV) is therefore proposed. A second, distantly related Tymoviridae-like virus was also discovered in varroa transcriptomes, tentatively named Varroa Tymo-like virus (VTLV). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Historically, point estimates such as the median lethal concentration (LC50) have been instrumental in assessing risks associated with toxicants to rare or economically important species. In recent years, growing awareness of the shortcomings of this approach has led to an increased focus on analyses using population endpoints. However, risk assessment of pesticides still relies heavily on large amounts of LC50 data amassed over decades in the laboratory. Despite the fact that these data are generally well replicated, little or no attention has been given to the sometime high levels of variability associated with the generation of point estimates. This is especially important in agroecosystems where arthropod predator-prey interactions are often disrupted by the use of pesticides. Using laboratory derived data of 4 economically important species (2 fruit fly pest species and 2 braconid parasitoid species) and matrix based population models, the authors demonstrate in the present study a method for bridging traditional point estimate risk assessments with population outcomes. The results illustrate that even closely related species can show strikingly divergent responses to the same exposures to pesticides. Furthermore, the authors show that using different values within the 95% confidence intervals of LC50 values can result in very different population outcomes, ranging from quick recovery to extinction for both pest and parasitoid species. The authors discuss the implications of these results and emphasize the need to incorporate variability and uncertainty in point estimates for use in risk assessment.

AB  - Lipid oxidation of ω-3 fatty acids has posed a serious challenge for incorporating heart-healthy oil products into healthful foods and beverages. In this study, plant and marine based ω-3 oils were dispersed into sodium caseinate dispersions and then mixed with purified heart-healthy oat gum comprised of 97% β-glucan in a homogenizer under room temperature. The stable emulsions underwent shelf life tests to assess their stabilities and oxidative activities. Various preparations of ω-3 oil-in-water emulsions with 10mL oil/100mLstabilized with sodium caseinate ranging from 0 to 3g caseinate/100g sample and β-glucan ranging from 0 to 0.3g β-glucan/100g sample were formed. The physical properties such as creaming index, particle size, and viscosity of the emulsions were measured. The lipid oxidation was measured as lipid hydroperoxide concentration and reduction of lipid oxidation was observed under shelf-life stress tests at 28 ° C. The fatty acids of the oils were also measured using gas chromatography. Omega-3 fatty acids compositional changes were observed over the shelf life tests. It was found that caseinate helped reduce the oxidation of the oils in general and there is no significant impact of β-glucan on oxidation. Addition of caseinate and β-glucan in the emulsions slightly increased both particle size and viscosity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Retrieving the paleoclimatic signal from the deeper part of the EPICA Dome C ice core.

AB  - An important share of paleoclimatic information is buried within the lowermost layers of deep ice cores. Because improving our records further back in time is one of the main challenges in the near future, it is essential to judge how deep these records remain unaltered, since the proximity of the bedrock is likely to interfere both with the recorded temporal sequence and the ice properties. In this paper, we present a multiparametric study (δD-δ18Oice, δ18Oatm, total air content, CO2, CH4, N2O, dust, high-resolution chemistry, ice texture) of the bottom 60m of the EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C ice core from central Antarctica. These bottom layers were subdivided into two distinct facies: the lower 12m showing visible solid inclusions (basal dispersed ice facies) and the upper 48 m, which we will refer to as the "basal clean ice facies". Some of the data are consistent with a pristine paleoclimatic signal, others show clear anomalies. It is demonstrated that neither large-scale bottom refreezing of subglacial water, nor mixing (be it internal or with a local basal end term from a previous/initial ice sheet configuration) can explain the observed bottom-ice properties. We focus on the high-resolution chemical profiles and on the available remote sensing data on the subglacial topography of the site to propose a mechanism by which relative stretching of the bottom-ice sheet layers is made possible, due to the progressively confining effect of subglacial valley sides. This stress field change, combined with bottom-ice temperature close to the pressure melting point, induces accelerated migration recrystallization, which results in spatial chemical sorting of the impurities, depending on their state (dissolved vs. solid) and if they are involved or not in salt formation. This chemical sorting effect is responsible for the progressive build-up of the visible solid aggregates that therefore mainly originate "from within", and not from incorporation processes of debris from the ice sheet's substrate. We further discuss how the proposed mechanism is compatible with the other ice properties described. We conclude that the paleoclimatic signal is only marginally affected in terms of global ice properties at the bottom of EPICA Dome C, but that the timescale was considerably distorted by mechanical stretching of MIS20 due to the increasing influence of the subglacial topography, a process that might have started well above the bottom ice. A clear paleoclimatic signal can therefore not be inferred from the deeper part of the EPICA Dome C ice core. Our work suggests that the existence of a flat monotonic ice-bedrock interface, extending for several times the ice thickness, would be a crucial factor in choosing a future "oldest ice" drilling location in Antarctica.

AB  - The objective of our analysis is to develop a model of damage costs that arise from collisions between aircraft and birds, based on data drawn from the Federal Aviation Administration National Wildlife Strike Database (NWSD). We develop a two-part model, composed of two separate statistical models, that accounts for the effects of aircraft mass category, engine type, component of the aircraft struck, and the size and number of birds struck. Our results indicate the size of bird, number of birds, and engine ingestions are the largest determinants of strike-related costs. More generally, our result is a model that provides a better understanding of the determinants of damage costs and that can be used to interpolate the substantial amount of missing data on damage costs that currently exists within the NWSD. A more complete accounting of damage costs will allow a better understanding of how damage costs vary geographically and temporally and, thus, enable more efficient allocation of management resources across airports and seasons.

AB  - Certified reference materials (CRMs) recently characterized by the NBL for isotope-amount ratios are: (i) CRM 112-A, Uranium (normal) Metal Assay and Isotopic Standard, (ii) CRM 115, Uranium (depleted) Metal Assay and Isotopic Standard, and (iii) CRM 116-A, Uranium (enriched) Metal Assay and Isotopic Standard. NBL also completed re-characterization of the isotope-amount ratios in CRM 125-A, Uranium (UO) Pellet Assay, Isotopic, and Radio-chronometric Standard. Three different TIMS analytical techniques were employed for the characterization analyses. The total evaporation technique was used for the major isotope-amount ratio measurement, the modified total evaporation technique was used for both the major and minor isotope-amount ratios, and minor isotope-amount ratios were also measured using a Conventional technique. Uncertainties for the characterization studies were calculated from the combined TIMS data sets following the ISO Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement. The uncertainty components for the isotope-amount ratio values are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We find that GdSi 1.78 and Gd(Si 0.684 Ge 0.316 ) 1.78 crystallize in the same GdSi 1.4 -type orthorhombic structure (space group Imma ), while GdGe 1.57 and GdSn 2 adopt α-ThSi 2 -type tetragonal structure (space group I 4 1 / amd ) and ZrSi 2 -type orthorhombic structure (space group Cmcm ), respectively. All compounds order antiferromagnetically; their Néel temperatures are only weakly affected by the magnetic field of less than 50 kOe. Unusual features are observed including multiple phase transitions and thermomagnetic irreversibilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key message: Epistasis and genetic background were important influences on expression of stripe rust resistance in two wheat RIL populations, one with resistance conditioned by two major genes and the other conditioned by several minor QTL. Abstract: Stripe rust is a foliar disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) caused by the air-borne fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici and is present in most regions around the world where commercial wheat is grown. Breeding for durable resistance to stripe rust continues to be a priority, but also is a challenge due to the complexity of interactions among resistance genes and to the wide diversity and continuous evolution of the pathogen races. The goal of this study was to detect chromosomal regions for resistance to stripe rust in two winter wheat populations, 'Tubbs'/'NSA-98-0995' (T/N) and 'Einstein'/'Tubbs' (E/T), evaluated across seven environments and mapped with diversity array technology and simple sequence repeat markers covering polymorphic regions of ≈1480 and 1117 cM, respectively. Analysis of variance for phenotypic data revealed significant ( P < 0.01) genotypic differentiation for stripe rust among the recombinant inbred lines. Results for quantitative trait loci/locus (QTL) analysis in the E/T population indicated that two major QTL located in chromosomes 2AS and 6AL, with epistatic interaction between them, were responsible for the main phenotypic response. For the T/N population, eight QTL were identified, with those in chromosomes 2AL and 2BL accounting for the largest percentage of the phenotypic variance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Embolism formation and spread are dependent on conduit structure and xylem network connectivity. Detailed spatial analysis has been limited due to a lack of non-destructive methods to visualize these processes in living plants. We used synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (microCT) to visualize these processes in vivo for Juglans microcarpa Berl. saplings subjected to drought, and also evaluated embolism repair capability after re-watering. Cavitation was not detected in vivo until stem water potentials (Ψstem) reached -2.2 MPa, and loss of stem hydraulic conductivity as derived from microCT images predicted that 50% of conductivity was lost at Ψstem of ~ -3.5 MPa; xylem vulnerability as determined with the centrifuge method was comparable only in the range of Ψstem from -2.5 to -3.5 MPa. MicroCT images showed that cavitation appeared initially in isolated vessels not connected to other air-filled conduits. Once embolized vessels were present, multiple vessels in close proximity cavitated, and 3-D analysis along the stem axis revealed some connections between cavitated vessels. A tomography-derived automated xylem network analysis found that only 36% of vessels had one or more connections to other vessels. Cavitation susceptibility was related to vessel diameter, with large diameter vessels (>40 μm, mean diameter 25-30 μm) cavitating mainly under moderate stress (Ψstem > -3 MPa) and small diameter vessels (<30 μm) under severe stress. After re-watering there was no evidence for short or longer term vessel refilling over 2 weeks despite a rapid recovery of plant water status. The low embolism susceptibility in 1-year-old J. microcarpa may aid sapling survival during establishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ‘Nutraceuticals’ are a category of substances without a legal definition, often sold as dietary supplements or components of conventional foods. Nutraceuticals are considered to impart health benefits beyond ordinary nutrition; many nutraceuticals do improve health, but for others evidence is often equivocal or based on animal and/orin vitrodata. Moreover, evidence that a component of a substance in a food has a beneficial effect often does not translate into benefits of a substance that has been isolated and consumed in greater quantities. Increasing regulatory requirements from multiple government agencies complicate the design, testing, and marketing of these substances. Dietary advice also is contradictory to much of the marketing of nutraceuticals as it emphasizes using whole foods and ensuring that the overall diet is adequate, rather than focusing on individual components. How the nutraceutical industry responds to these changing conditions will determine the health and growth of the industry over the coming decade(s). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We explore three trends in rural southern Mexico (Fair Trade coffee, migration, and conditional cash transfers) that could explain the rapid rise in education from 1995–2005 using survey data from 845 coffee farming households in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico. Results from a household fixed-effects model show that household participation in a Fair Trade-organic cooperative contributed to about a 0.7 year increase in schooling for girls. US migration opportunities appear to have even stronger positive impacts on schooling for females. Although participation in Fair Trade-organic cooperatives appears also to have increased male schooling, increased migration opportunities have had an indeterminate effect for males.

AB  - Epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep is a devastating disease of uncertain etiology. To help clarify the etiology, we used culture and culture-independent methods to compare the prevalence of the bacterial respiratory pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica, Bibersteinia trehalosi, Pasteurella multocida, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae in lung tissue from 44 bighorn sheep from herds affected by 8 outbreaks in the western United States. M. ovipneumoniae, the only agent detected at significantly higher prevalence in animals from outbreaks (95%) than in animals from unaffected healthy populations (0%), was the most consistently detected agent and the only agent that exhibited single strain types within each outbreak. The other respiratory pathogens were frequently but inconsistently detected, as were several obligate anaerobic bacterial species, all of which might represent secondary or opportunistic infections that could contribute to disease severity. These data provide evidence that M. ovipneumoniae plays a primary role in the etiology of epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by certain fungi that infest cereal grains. A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal antibody (Mab) was used as the starting point in the development of a recombinant single chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) recognising DON. The scFv and Mab were characterised using two immunoassay formats: competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CD-ELISA) and biolayer interferometry (BLI). Using CD-ELISA the IC50s for DON were 36.1 and 13.8 ng/ml for assays based on the scFv and Mab, respectively. The cross-reactivity to DON analogs was very similar for the scFv and the Mab. The real-time binding of the antibodies to an immobilised DON-protein conjugate was also monitored. In competitive BLI assays the IC50s using the scFv and Mab were 68.3 and 15.8 ng/ml, respectively. The results suggest that sensitivity of assays, but not selectivity, was affected by removal of the constant regions of the Mab. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The extensive mortality of yellow-cedar along more than 1000 kilometers of the northern Pacific coast of North America serves as a leading example of climate effects on a forest tree species. In this article, we document our approaches to resolving the causes of tree death, which we explain as a cascade of interacting topographic, forest-structure, and microclimate factors that act on a unique vulnerability of yellow-cedar to fine-root freezing. The complex causes of tree mortality are reduced to two risk factors -- snow depth and soil drainage -- which are then used to model present and future cedar habitat suitability. We propose a dynamic, comprehensive conservation strategy for this valuable species on the basis of zones created by shifting climate, cedar's ecological niche, and observed risk factors. Research on yellow-cedar decline is offered as a template for understanding and adapting to climate change for other climate-forest issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Helminths induce potent T helper 2 (TH2)-type immune responses that can mediate worm expulsion, but the role of this response in controlling the acute tissue damage caused by migrating multicellular parasites through vital tissues remains uncertain. We used a helminth infection model in which parasitic nematode larvae migrate transiently through the lung, resulting in hemorrhage and inflammation. We found that IL-17 initially contributed to inflammation and lung damage, whereas subsequent IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) signaling reduced elevations in IL-17 mRNA levels, enhanced the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IL-10 and stimulated the development of M2 macrophages, all of which contributed to the rapid resolution of tissue damage. These studies indicate an essential role for TH2-type immune responses in mediating acute wound healing during helminth infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The spatial pattern of downy mildew ( Pseudoperonospora humuli) on hop ( Humulus lupulus) was characterized over 4 years to aid in deriving an appropriate incidence-density relationship. From 472 disease assessments (datasets), discrete distributions were fitted to the datasets to determine aggregation of disease density. Where distributions were able to be fitted, the Poisson distribution fitted 4% of the datasets and the negative binomial distribution fitted 87% of the datasets. Larger-scale patterns of disease were assessed by autocorrelation and runs analysis; both indicated aggregation of diseased plants was less common than aggregation of disease within plants. Taylor's power law indicated disease density was aggregated and related to mean disease density in all years. Disease incidence and density were linked by saturation-type relationships based on the zero term of the negative binomial distribution or an empirical regression. Certain individual datasets were not described well by any incidence-density model, particularly when disease density was greater than about 0·8 diseased shoots per plant with the cultivar Cascade. When applied to 56 validation datasets, 88% of the variation in observed disease incidence was explained by the incidence-density models. Under conditions where sampling would be implemented for disease management, the requisite conditions appear to be in place for a binomial sampling plan for downy mildew. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The completion of reference genome sequences for many important crops and the ability to perform high-throughput resequencing are providing opportunities for improving our understanding of the history of plant domestication and to accelerate crop improvement. Crop plant comparative genomics is being transformed by these data and a new generation of experimental and computational approaches. The future of crop improvement will be centred on comparisons of individual plant genomes, and some of the best opportunities may lie in using combinations of new genetic mapping strategies and evolutionary analyses to direct and optimize the discovery and use of genetic variation. Here we review such strategies and insights that are emerging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - SUMMARY Plants defend themselves against potential pathogens via the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) are largely unknown. In this study, we show that tomato HP1/DDB1, coding for a key component of the CUL4-based ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, is required for resistance to Agrobacterium tumefaciens. We found that the DDB1-deficient mutant ( high pigment-1, hp1) is susceptible to nontumorigenic A. tumefaciens. The efficiency of callus generation from the hp1 cotyledons was extremely low as a result of the necrosis caused by Agrobacterium infection. On infiltration of nontumorigenic A. tumefaciens into leaves, the hp1 mutant moderately supported Agrobacterium growth and developed disease symptoms, but the expression of the pathogenesis-related gene SlPR1a1 and several PTI marker genes was compromised at different levels. Moreover, exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) triggered SlPR1a1 gene expression and enhanced resistance to A. tumefaciens in wild-type tomato plants, whereas these SA-regulated defence responses were abolished in hp1 mutant plants. Thus, HP1/DDB1 may function through interaction with the SA-regulated PTI pathway in resistance against Agrobacterium infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary 1. Overweight/obesity is an epidemic in the US as well as in other developed countries, affecting two-thirds of Americans and an estimated 2.3 billion people worldwide. Obesity increases the risk for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. For example, epidemiological studies have established a strong association between obesity and colon cancer. 2. It is generally accepted that metabolic changes associated with overweight/obesity, particularly abdominal obesity and changes in adipocyte function, contribute to the increased risk of colon cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this association is important for the development of preventive strategies for colon cancer. Part of these preventive strategies may be based on dietary factors, such as vitamins, minerals (e.g. selenium), fibre, phytochemicals and phenolic compounds. These anticancer nutrients may counteract the molecular changes associated with obesity. 3. The present article reviews the evidence that inflammation and insulin resistance induced by obesity are the molecular mediators of the association between obesity and colon cancer. We also evaluate the evidence for the ability of dietary factors to target the obesity-induced changes and, thus, protect against colon cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Microcystins (MCs) are the most common cyanotoxins found worldwide in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments. The rapid and accurate analysis of MCs and nodularin (Nod-R) in fish tissue is important for determining occurrence, following trends, and monitoring exposure for risk assessment and other purposes. The aim of this study was to develop a streamlined and reliable sample preparation method for eight MCs (MC-RR, MC-YR, MC-LR, MC-WR, MC-LA, MC-LY, MC-LW, and MC-LF) and Nod-R in fish, and conduct a validation of the new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for analysis and compare the results with a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Different sample preparation methods were compared, and a simple extraction protocol with acidified acetonitrile/water (3:1) followed by hexane partitioning cleanup was found to be most effective. Thorough validation of the final method was conducted, and 90-115% recoveries were achieved for all analytes except for MC-RR, which gave 130% average recovery (isotopically labeled internal standards were unavailable to correct for possible biases). The use of electrospray ionization in the negative mode gave few interferences and minimal matrix effects in the LC-MS/MS analysis overall. Precision was typically 10-20% RSD among multiple days in experiments, detection limits were <10 ng/g in the fish tissue (catfish, basa, and swai filets), and no false-positives or false-negatives occurred in blind analyses of many spiked samples. The ELISA was unable to distinguish between MCs but was found to correctly assess the presence or absence of MCs and Nod-R in the blind-fortified fish tissues. The capability of these approaches to measure covalently bound MCs was not assessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examined how marine-derived nutrients (MDN), in the form of spawning Pacific salmon, influenced the nutritional status and δ15N of stream-dwelling fishes. We sampled juvenile coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Dolly Varden ( Salvelinus malma) during spring and fall from 11 south-central Alaskan streams that ranged widely in spawning salmon biomass (0.1-4.7 kg·m-2). Growth rate (as indexed by RNA-DNA ratios), energy density, and δ15N enrichment in spring-sampled fishes increased with spawner biomass, indicating the persistence of spawner effects more than 6 months after salmon spawning. Point estimates suggest that spawner effects on nutrition were substantially greater for coho salmon than Dolly Varden (268% and 175% greater for growth and energy, respectively), indicating that both species benefitted physiologically, but that juvenile coho salmon accrued more benefits than Dolly Varden. Although the data were less conclusive for fall- than spring-sampled fish, they do suggest spawner effects were also generally positive during fall, soon after salmon spawned. In a follow-up analysis where growth rate and energy density were modeled as a function of δ15N enrichment, results suggested that both increased with MDN assimilation, especially in juvenile coho salmon. Our results support the importance of salmon runs to the nutritional ecology of stream-dwelling fishes. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Nous examinons comment les nutriments d'origine marine (MDN), que représentent les saumons du Pacifique en fraie, influencent le statut nutritif et le δ15N des poissons des cours d'eau. Nous avons échantillonné des jeunes saumons coho ( Oncorhynchus kisutch) et Dolly Varden ( Salvelinus malma) durant le printemps et l'automne dans 11 cours d'eau du centre-sud de l'Alaska qui différaient considérablement par la biomasse de saumons en fraie (0,1-4,7 kg·m-2). Le taux de croissance (mesuré par les rapports ARN-ADN), la densité énergétique et l'enrichissement de δ15N chez les poissons prélevés au printemps augmentent tous en fonction de la biomasse des reproducteurs en fraie, ce qui indique une persistance des effets des reproducteurs plus de 6 mois après la fraie des saumons. Des estimations ponctuelles laissent penser que l'effet des reproducteurs sur la nutrition est substantiellement plus important pour le saumon coho que pour la Dolly Warden (respectivement 268 % et 178 % supérieur pour la croissance et l'énergie), ce qui indique que les deux espèces profitent du point de vue physiologique, mais que les jeunes saumons cohos accumulent plus d'avantages que les Dolly Warden. Bien que les données soient moins claires chez les poissons échantillonnés à l'automne que chez ceux du printemps, elles indiquent que les effets des reproducteurs sont aussi généralement favorables durant l'automne, peu après la fraie des saumons. Lors d'une étude subséquente, nous avons modélisé le taux de croissance et la densité énergétique en fonction de l'enrichissement de δ15N; les résultats indiquent que les deux augmentent avec l'assimilation des MDN, particulièrement chez les jeunes saumons cohos. Nos résultats soulignent l'importance des montaisons de saumons pour l'écologie de l'alimentation chez les poissons qui habitent les cours d'eau. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background:The interaction between apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) m265 genotype and saturated fat for obesity traits has been more extensively demonstrated than for any other locus, but behavioural and hormonal mechanisms underlying this relationship are unexplored. In this study, we evaluated relationships between APOA2 and obesity risk with particular focus on patterns of eating and ghrelin, a hormonal regulator of food intake.Design:Cross-sectional study.Subjects:Overweight and obese subjects (n=1225) were evaluated at baseline in five weight loss clinics in southeastern Spain.Methods:Behavioural data were assessed using a checklist of weight loss obstacles. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the risk of a specific behaviour associated with APOA2 genotype. Relationships between APOA2 genotype and saturated fat intakes for anthropometric traits and plasma ghrelin were evaluated by analysis of variance. To construct categorical variables to evaluate interactions, saturated fat intake was dichotomized into high and low according to the population median intake or as tertiles.Results:Homozygous minor (CC) subjects were more likely to exhibit behaviours that impede weight loss ('Do you skip meals', odds ratio (OR)=2.09, P=0.008) and less likely to exhibit the protective behaviour of 'Do you plan meals in advance' (OR=0.64, P=0.034). Plasma ghrelin for CC subjects consuming low saturated fat was lower compared with (1) CC subjects consuming high saturated fat, (2) TT+TC carriers consuming low saturated fat and (3) TT+TC carriers consuming high saturated fat (all P<0.05).Conclusions:APOA2 m265 genotype may be associated with eating behaviours and dietary modulation of plasma ghrelin. Expansion of knowledge of APOA2 and obesity to include modulation of specific behaviours and hormonal mediators not only broadens understanding of gene-diet interactions, but also facilitates the pragmatic, future goal of developing dietary guidelines based on genotype.

AB  - Background: Softwood is the predominant form of land plant biomass in the Northern hemisphere, and is among the most recalcitrant biomass resources to bioprocess technologies. The white rot fungus, Phanerochaete carnosa, has been isolated almost exclusively from softwoods, while most other known white-rot species, including Phanerochaete chrysosporium, were mainly isolated from hardwoods. Accordingly, it is anticipated that P. carnosa encodes a distinct set of enzymes and proteins that promote softwood decomposition. To elucidate the genetic basis of softwood bioconversion by a white-rot fungus, the present study reports the P. carnosa genome sequence and its comparative analysis with the previously reported P. chrysosporium genome. Results: P. carnosa encodes a complete set of lignocellulose-active enzymes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that P. carnosa is enriched with genes encoding manganese peroxidase, and that the most divergent glycoside hydrolase families were predicted to encode hemicellulases and glycoprotein degrading enzymes. Most remarkably, P. carnosa possesses one of the largest P450 contingents (266 P450s) among the sequenced and annotated wood-rotting basidiomycetes, nearly double that of P. chrysosporium. Along with metabolic pathway modeling, comparative growth studies on model compounds and chemical analyses of decomposed wood components showed greater tolerance of P. carnosa to various substrates including coniferous heartwood. Conclusions: The P. carnosa genome is enriched with genes that encode P450 monooxygenases that can participate in extractives degradation, and manganese peroxidases involved in lignin degradation. The significant expansion of P450s in P. carnosa, along with differences in carbohydrate- and lignin-degrading enzymes, could be correlated to the utilization of heartwood and sapwood preparations from both coniferous and hardwood species.

AB  - Background: Extensive studies have demonstrated that the COBRA gene is critical for biosynthesis of cell wall constituents comprising structural tissues of roots, stalks, leaves and other vegetative organs, however, its role in fruit development and ripening remains largely unknown. Results: We identified a tomato gene (SlCOBRA-like) homologous to Arabidopsis COBRA, and determined its role in fleshy fruit biology. The SlCOBRA-like gene is highly expressed in vegetative organs and in early fruit development, but its expression in fruit declines dramatically during ripening stages, implying a primary role in early fruit development. Fruit-specific suppression of SlCOBRA-like resulted in impaired cell wall integrity and up-regulation of genes encoding proteins involved in cell wall degradation during early fruit development. In contrast, fruit-specific overexpression of SlCOBRA-like resulted in increased wall thickness of fruit epidermal cells, more collenchymatous cells beneath the epidermis, elevated levels of cellulose and reduced pectin solubilization in the pericarp cells of red ripe fruits. Moreover, transgenic tomato fruits overexpressing SlCOBRA-like exhibited desirable early development phenotypes including enhanced firmness and a prolonged shelf life. Conclusions: Our results suggest that SlCOBRA-like plays an important role in fruit cell wall architecture and provides a potential genetic tool for extending the shelf life of tomato and potentially additional fruits.

AB  - Scutellaria lateriflora, commonly known as skullcap, is used as an ingredient in numerous herbal products. However, it has been occasionally adulterated/contaminated with Teucrium canadense and/or Teucrium chamaedrys, commonly known as germander, due to the morphological similarities between the two genera. The latter contains hepatotoxic diterpenes. Despite the potential hepatotoxicity introduced by germander contamination, analytical methodologies for the authentication and quality assessment of S. lateriflora-based dietary supplements have not been reported. In this study, a flow-injection/mass spectrometry fingerprinting method in combination with principal component analysis was used to survey S. lateriflora-based dietary supplements sold in the USA.

AB  - Relatively little information has been published on Coyotes in the eastern United States, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region, the last area of the contiguous US to be colonized by Coyotes. Increases in eastern Coyote distribution and abundance have been documented, and concerns about their impact on wildlife and livestock are growing. Information from published and unpublished manuscripts, theses, dissertations, and state wildlife agency records in the mid-Atlantic region were examined and synthesized. This review provides a comprehensive summary of Coyote ecology in the mid-Atlantic for natural resource managers and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Antifreeze proteins depress the non-equilibrium freezing point of aqueous solutions, but only have a small effect on the equilibrium melting point. This difference between the freezing and melting points has been termed thermal hysteresis activity (THA). THA identifies the presence and relative activity of antifreeze proteins. Two antifreeze protein cDNAs, dafp-1 and dafp-4, encoding two self-enhancing (have a synergistic effect on THA) antifreeze proteins (DAFPs) from the beetle Dendroides canadensis, were introduced into the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana via Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip transformation. Southern blot analysis indicated multiple insertions of transgenes. Both DAFP-1 and/or DAFP-4 were expressed in transgenic A. thaliana as shown by RT-PCR and Western blot. Apoplastic fluid from T DAFP-1 + DAFP-4-producing transgenic A. thaliana exhibited THA in the range of 1.2-1.35°C (using the capillary method to determine THA), demonstrating the presence of functioning antifreeze proteins (with signal peptides for extracellular secretion). The freezing temperature of DAFP-1 + DAFP-4-producing transgenic A. thaliana was lowered by approximately 2-3°C compared with the wild type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Evaluating the impact of poverty-reduction programs on fertility is complicated given that changes in incentives to have children take time to be incorporated into decision making and evaluation periods are usually quite brief. We explore the use of birth spacing as a short-run indicator of the impact of poverty-reduction programs on fertility. The data come from a Nicaraguan conditional cash transfer program that offers incentives for poor households to invest in children's health, nutrition, and education. We estimate a stratified Cox proportional hazard model and find that the program decreased the hazard of a birth, indicating an increase in birth spacing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Catfish hatcheries use copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) as an economical control for saprolegniasis on eggs. This study determines hatch rate of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque 1818), eggs in hatching troughs containing 23.8 °C flow-through well water when treated with 100 mg L−1 CuSO4·5H2O (10 times the proposed therapeutic dose). Eggs were treated daily until the embryos reached the eyed stage. Fry survival in the control and 100 mg L−1 CuSO4·5H2O treatments was significantly different (15% and 71% respectively). This study demonstrates that there is a considerable margin of safety in using CuSO4·5H2O as a catfish egg treatment to control saprolegniasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In order to effectively study, manage, conserve, and sustain shallow-subtidal ecosystems, a spatial inventory of the basic resources and habitats is essential. Because of the complexities of shallow-subtidal substrates, benthic communities, geology, geomorphology, and water column attributes, few standard protocols are fully articulated and tested that describe the mapping and inventory processes and accompanying interpretations. In this paper, we describe a systematic approach to map Rhode Island's shallow-subtidal coastal lagoon ecosystems, by using, integrating, and reconciling multiple data sets to identify the geology, soils, biological communities, and environments that, collectively, define each shallow-subtidal habitat. We constructed maps for these lagoons via a deliberate, step by step approach. Acoustics and geostatistical modeling were used to create a bathymetric map. These data were analyzed to identify submerged landforms and geologic boundaries. Geologic interpretations were verified with video and grab samples. Soils were sampled, characterized, and mapped within the context of the landscape and geologic boundaries. Biological components and distributions were investigated using acoustics, grab samples, video, and sediment profile images. Data sets were cross-referenced and ground-truthed to test for inconsistencies. Maps and geospatial data, with Federal (eographic Data Committee (FGDC I-compliant metadata, were finalized after reconciling data set inconsistencies and made available on the Internet. These data allow for classification in the revised Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). With these maps, we explored potential relationships among and between physical and biological parameters. In some cases, we discovered a clear match between habitat measures; in others, however, relationships were more difficult to distinguish and require further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Northern red oak ( L.) seedling growth has been extensively studied. White oak ( L.) and chestnut oak ( L.), however, are far less investigated despite their importance among upland oak species in eastern North American forests. We characterized white and chestnut oak seedling response to light and available soil nutrients while using northern red oak as a benchmark. Germinants were grown within one of three shade treatments (25%, 18%, and 6% of full sun) in one of two native forest soil mixes over two growing seasons. Leaf area, shoot mass, and root mass of all three species showed positive growth responses to increasing light. Growth and biomass were higher for all species grown in the more nutrient-rich forest soil, but chestnut oak displayed the greatest positive responses to the higher nutrient levels. White oak seedlings were the slowest growers and demonstrated the most root-centered growth, with root to shoot ratios almost twice that of either chestnut or northern red oak seedlings. The oak species evaluated here responded differently to changes in resource availability. Our study demonstrates the differential response of upland oaks to low light and nutrients. These differences need consideration when developing oak management prescriptions for specific oaks. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La croissance des semis de chêne rouge ( L.) a fait l'objet de plusieurs études. Toutefois, le chêne blanc ( L.) et le chêne châtaignier ( L.) ont été beaucoup moins étudiés malgré leur importance parmi les espèces de chêne de milieu sec dans les forêts de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord. Nous avons caractérisé la réaction des semis de chêne blanc et de chêne châtaignier à la lumière et à la disponibilité des nutriments du sol en utilisant le chêne rouge comme référence. Les germinats se sont développés pendant deux saisons de croissance dans un des trois traitements d'ombre (25 %, 18 % et 6 % de la pleine lumière) et dans un des deux mélanges de sol forestier prélevés in situ. La croissance en surface foliaire, en biomasse des pousses et en biomasse racinaire des trois espèces a augmenté avec la disponibilité de la lumière. La croissance et la biomasse des trois espèces étaient plus élevées dans le sol forestier le plus riche, mais dans de telles conditions, la réaction du chêne châtaignier a été la plus forte. La croissance des semis de chêne blanc était la plus lente et la plus axée vers le développement racinaire avec un rapport entre la biomasse racinaire et celle des pousses presque deux fois plus élevé que ceux des semis de chêne châtaignier et de chêne rouge. Les espèces de chêne de la présente étude ont réagi différemment aux changements de disponibilité des ressources. Notre étude démontre que les chênes de milieu sec réagissent différemment à la faible disponibilité de lumière et de nutriments. Ces différences méritent d'être considérées pour mettre au point des prescriptions sylvicoles propres aux différentes espèces de chêne. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Analytical methods to improve the detection of erythromycin in water and sediment were developed to optimize for erythromycin's recovery of extractable and bound residues from the aquatic environment. The objective of this study was to determine optimal recovery of erythromycin from water and sediment to improve its detection in environmental samples through solid-phase extraction (SPE) and sediment-extraction methods. SPE methods examined included previously reported methods for macrolide and sulfonamide antibiotics with erythromycin recoveries ranging from 75.5 % to 94.7 %. Extraction of erythromycin was performed from sand employing various solvents and buffers to determine the best method for extraction from two sandy loam pond sediments. Various extraction times were also examined, and all extraction procedures were performed in duplicate. The greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin in the Iowa sediment was 84 % using 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 4.2: acetonitrile (15:85, v/v) solution. The Oklahoma sediment yielded the greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin at 86.7 % with 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 7: acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) with a 60-minute shake time. The present results demonstrate improved extraction methods for enhancing the accuracy of erythromycin detection from environmental samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Background At present, B cell epitopes involved in food allergy to wheat are known only for a few allergens and a few categories of patients. Objective To characterize the epitopes of different wheat kernel allergens: α-, γ, ω2, and ω5-gliadin, a low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunit, and a lipid transfer protein (LTP1) recognized by allergic patients and by sensitized mice and provide further understanding of the role of structure in determining allergic response. Methods Sera were obtained from 39 patients suffering from food allergy to wheat. BALB/c mice were sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 by intraperitoneal immunizations. Continuous epitopes bound by IgE were delineated by the Pepscan technique. The response to reduced, alkylated LTP1 was compared with that of the native form to evaluate the importance of protein folding on IgE reactivity. Results Few continuous epitopes of LTP1 reacted with IgE from allergic patients and mice, but one of them was common to several patients and sensitized mice. The unfolded protein was not recognized by either patient or mouse IgE, emphasizing the major role of LTP1 folding and discontinuous epitopes in IgE-binding. In contrast, many continuous epitopes were detected by patient and mouse IgE especially for an ω5-gliadin, which is an unstructured protein, and to a lesser extent, for the other gliadins and a LMW-glutenin subunit. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance The conformation of LTP1 appeared to have a strong impact on the type of IgE-binding epitopes elicited by this protein in both man and mouse. The responses in mice sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 were sufficiently comparable with the human response in terms of IgE-binding epitopes to provide support for the use of the mouse model in further investigations.

AB  - Many studies have proposed resource dispersion as the main determinant of territory size in coyotes ( Say, 1823), but few have considered contender pressure as an alternative hypothesis. We tested for differences in rates of intra-territorial visitation, movement, and extra-territorial excursions between two populations of coyotes with large differences in territory sizes. We collected fine-scale (15 min) movement data of coyotes in southeastern Texas and south-central Idaho. Both populations were active for similar lengths of each day, but coyotes in Idaho had territories 10× larger, moved 2× faster, traveled 2× farther daily, and made extra-territorial excursions 3× less. Even with increased movement rates, coyotes in Idaho traversed territories slower than coyotes in Texas as predicted by the contender pressure hypothesis. We propose that in regions with high resource abundance, territory size of coyotes is determined by contender pressure and an inability to defend larger areas. Conversely, in low-resource areas, territory sizes are determined more by prey abundance and dispersion because intrusion rates are reduced given the lower density of conspecifics. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Plusieurs études ont suggéré que la dispersion des ressources est le principal facteur déterminant de la taille des territoires chez les coyotes ( Say, 1823), mais peu d'entre elles ont considéré la pression exercée par les concurrents comme hypothèse de rechange. Nous avons recherché des différences dans les taux de visites à l'intérieur des territoires, dans les déplacements et dans les excursions à l'extérieur des territoires entre deux populations qui présentent d'importantes différences dans la taille de leurs territoires. Nous avons récolté des données à échelle fine (15 min) sur les déplacements des coyotes dans le sud-est du Texas et le centre-sud de l'Idaho. Les deux populations sont actives pendant des périodes semblables tous les jours, mais les coyotes d'Idaho ont des territoires 10× plus grands, se déplacent 2× plus rapidement, parcourent des distances 2× plus grandes chaque jour et font 3x moins d'excursions extraterritoriales. Même avec leurs taux de déplacement plus élevés, les coyotes d'Idaho traversent leurs territoires plus lentement que les coyotes du Texas, comme le veut l'hypothèse de la pression des concurrents. Nous croyons que, dans les régions de forte abondance des ressources, la taille des territoires des coyotes est déterminée par la pression des concurrents et par leur incapacité de défendre des surfaces plus grandes. À l'inverse, dans les zones de ressources faibles, la taille des territoires est déterminée plus par l'abondance des proies et la dispersion puisque les taux d'intrusion sont réduits, étant donné la plus faible densité des coyotes.

AB  - The following study was conducted in order to compare the modified single-seed descent method of selection used in soybean breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, Serbia, with the standard bulk method and the pedigree method. The source materials for the development of hybrid populations were 15 genotypes, and a total of 10 cross combinations were made. Comparison of the lines developed by the different breeding methods was done in the F6 generation. Genetic gain from selection was taken as the main indicator of efficiency of the tested methods. The modified single-seed descent method produced the best results. In most cases, the mean values for seed yield of the populations developed by that method were significantly higher than the values shown in the populations developed by the other 2 methods. The advantages of using genetic gain as the indicator of breeding efficiency were clearly demonstrated when interpreting the results for seed yield and yield components. Populations possessing desirable traits were easier to perceive, which is exceedingly useful when breeding for a complex trait such as yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thermostable enzymes and thermophilic cell factories may afford economic advantages in the production of many chemicals and biomass-based fuels. Here we describe and compare the genomes of two thermophilic fungi, Myceliophthora thermophila and Thielavia terrestris. To our knowledge, these genomes are the first described for thermophilic eukaryotes and the first complete telomere-to-telomere genomes for filamentous fungi. Genome analyses and experimental data suggest that both thermophiles are capable of hydrolyzing all major polysaccharides found in biomass. Examination of transcriptome data and secreted proteins suggests that the two fungi use shared approaches in the hydrolysis of cellulose and xylan but distinct mechanisms in pectin degradation. Characterization of the biomass-hydrolyzing activity of recombinant enzymes suggests that these organisms are highly efficient in biomass decomposition at both moderate and high temperatures. Furthermore, we present evidence suggesting that aside from representing a potential reservoir of thermostable enzymes, thermophilic fungi are amenable to manipulation using classical and molecular genetics.

AB  - Aim  We examined the influences of regional climate and land-use variables on mallard ( Anas platyrhynchos), blue-winged teal ( Anas discors), ruddy duck ( Oxyura jamaicensis) and pied-billed grebe ( Podilymbus podiceps) abundances to inform conservation planning in the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States. Location  The US portion of Bird Conservation Region 11 (US-BCR11, the Prairie Potholes), which encompasses six states within the United States: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. Methods  We used data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (NABBS), the National Land Cover Data Set, and the National Climatic Data Center to model the effects of environmental variables on waterbird abundance. We evaluated land-use covariates at three logarithmically related spatial scales (1000, 10,000 and 100,000 ha), and constructed hierarchical spatial count models a priori using information from published habitat associations. Model fitting was performed using a hierarchical modelling approach within a Bayesian framework. Results  Models with the same variables expressed at different scales were often in the best model subset, indicating that the influence of spatial scale was small. Both land-use and climate variables contributed strongly to predicting waterbird abundance in US-BCR11. The strongest positive influences on waterbird abundance were the percentage of wetland area across all three spatial scales, herbaceous vegetation and precipitation variables. Other variables that we included in our models did not appear to influence waterbirds in this study. Main conclusions  Understanding the relationships of waterbird abundance to climate and land use may allow us to make predictions of future distribution and abundance as environmental factors change. Additionally, results from this study can suggest locations where conservation and management efforts should be focused. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To optimize yields of long-chain fructans extracted from herbage, fructan concentrations and chromatographic profiles were compared in four cool-season grasses extracted by different methods. In a preliminary study, extraction temperatures, pH prior to extract concentration, numbers of extractions, and tissue coarseness were varied to evaluate their effects on chromatographic profiles and quantities of total long-chain fructan (degree of polymerization (DP) of ∼7 or higher). Fructans were separated by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). The identity of the putative fructan peaks was confirmed by acid hydrolysis of fructans to fructose. Tall fescue and bluegrass fructans were below the detection limits used in this study. Pooled timothy and cocksfoot data indicated that two or three extractions at the same temperature yielded similar amounts of fructans and that adjusting pH from 6 to 7 did not affect recovery. Replicated extractions of cocksfoot by four methods chosen from the preliminary study demonstrated that the least fructan was extracted from chopped cocksfoot at ambient temperature ( P = 0·019). One C18 solid-phase extraction cleanup step sufficed for analysis. The extraction method recommended is two boiling water extractions of either chopped or ground material. However, ground material extracted at ambient temperature is comparable in total fructan concentration and maximum DP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a primary limitation to crop productivity on acid soils, and rice has been demonstrated to be significantly more Al tolerant than other cereal crops. However, the mechanisms of rice Al tolerance are largely unknown and no genes underlying natural variation have been reported. We screened 383 diverse rice accessions, conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) study, and conducted QTL mapping in two bi-parental populations using three estimates of Al tolerance based on root growth. Subpopulation structure explained 57% of the phenotypic variation, and the mean A tolerance in Japonica was twice that of Indica. Forty-eight regions associated with Al tolerance were identified by GWA analysis, most of which were subpopulation-specific. Four of these regions co-localized with a priori candidate genes, and two highly significant regions co-localized with previously identified QTLs. Three regions corresponding to induced Al sensitive rice mutants (ART1, STAR2, Nrat1) were identified through bi-parental QTL mapping or GWA to be involved in natural variation for Al tolerance. Haplotype analysis around the Nrat1 gene identified susceptible and tolerant haplotypes explaining 40% of the Al tolerance variation within the aus subpopulation, and sequence analysis of Nrat1 identified a trio of non-synonymous mutations predictive of Al sensitivity in our diversity panel. GWA analysis discovered more phenotype--genotype associations and provided higher resolution, but QTL mapping identified critical rare and/or subpopulation-specific alleles not detected by GWA analysis. Mapping using Indica/Japonica populations identified QTLs associated with transgressive variation where alleles from a susceptible aus or indica parent enhanced Al tolerance in a tolerant Japonica background. This work supports the hypothesis that selectively introgressing alleles across subpopulations is an efficient approach for trait enhancement in plant breeding programs and demonstrates the fundamental importance of subpopulation in interpreting and manipulating the genetics of complex traits in rice.

AB  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Countieswith higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified foodmanager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

AB  - The BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BPC) proteins are a plant-specific transcription factor family that is present throughout land plants. The Arabidopsis BPC proteins have been categorized into three classes based on sequence similarity, and we demonstrate that there is functional overlap between classes. Single gene mutations produce no visible phenotypic effects, and severe morphological phenotypes occur only in higher order mutants between members of classes I and II, with the most severe phenotype observed in bpc1-1 bpc2 bpc4 bpc6 plants. These quadruple mutants are dwarfed and display small curled leaves, aberrant ovules, altered epidermal cells and reduced numbers of lateral roots. Affected processes include coordinated growth of cell layers, cell shape determination and timing of senescence. Disruption of BPC3 function rescues some aspects of the bpc1-1 bpc2 bpc4 bpc6 phenotype, indicating that BPC3 function may be antagonistic to other members of the family. Ethylene response is diminished in bpc1-1 bpc2 bpc4 bpc6 plants, although not all aspects of the phenotype can be explained by reduced ethylene sensitivity.

AB  - Germin-like proteins (GLPs) play diversified roles in plant development and defense response. Here, we identified 36 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) encoding GLPs from peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.). After assembly, these ESTs were integrated into eight unigenes named AhGLP1 to AhGLP8, of which, three ( AhGLP1-3) were comprised 14, ten, and seven EST clones, respectively, whereas the remaining ones were associated with one single clone. The length of the deduced amino acid (AA) residues ranged from 208 to 223 AAs except for AhGLP6 and AhGLP8, which were incomplete at the carboxyl terminus. All of the AhGLPs contained a possible N-terminal signal peptide that was 17 to 24 residues in length excluding AhGLP7, where there is likely a non-cleavable amino terminus. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these AhGLPs were classified into three subfamilies. Southern blot analysis indicated that AhGLP1 and AhGLP2 likely have multiple copies in the peanut genome. The recombinant mature AhGLP1 and AhGLP2 proteins were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified AhGLP2 has superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in enzymatic assay, but not oxalate oxidase activity. The SOD activity of AhGLP2 was stable up to 70°C and resistant to hydrogen peroxide, suggesting that AhGLP2 might be a manganese-containing SOD. Furthermore, AhGLP2 could confer E. coli resistance to oxidative damage caused by paraquat, suggesting that the AhGLP2 likely protects peanut plants from reactive oxygen metabolites. Thus, information provided in this study indicates the diverse nature of the peanut GLP family and suggests that some of AhGLPs might be involved in plant defense response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Shifts in vegetation composition and cover are the result of processes acting at different levels such as landscapes, hill slopes, or plant interspaces. Analytical approaches designed for discrete objects which are based upon the inherently hierarchical nature of complex systems are well suited to research applications conducted across spatial scales. We quantified spatial and temporal vegetation dynamics over 71 years at three spatial scales, landscape, plot, and patch, in a Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem in southern New Mexico, USA, using object-based analysis. We analyzed time series aerial photography from 1937 to 2008 to include automated image analysis at the landscape scale and manual delineation of shrub image objects at the patch scale. We sought to identify patch mechanisms associated with changes in shrub patch density and percent cover by characterizing structural changes in individual shrub patches from one image to the next in the time series. The classification scheme captured colonization by new shrub patches, growth or decline in patch area, and patch stability (i.e., change in size of less than 15%). Patch growth was categorized as growth by coalescence with neighboring patches or canopy expansion. Similarly, patch decline was distinguished as either loss of patch area due to canopy dieback or fragmentation of conglomerate patches. Interpretations of change in patch density based solely on shrub colonization and mortality can be too simplistic. Increases in patch density can result from an influx of new patches or fragmentation of patches into its constituent patches; conversely, decreases in density may be due to mortality of patches or coalescence of existing patches. We demonstrate that patches grew in size at the beginning of the study in conjunction with increases in shrub cover (0.5% in 1937 to 11% in 1960) and patch density increased during the initial encroachment phase of shrub proliferation (4 patches ha-1 in 1937 to 80 patches ha-1 in 1960). Shrub cover remained stable at 7% from 1967 to 1989 and over this period, patch dynamics were broadly characterized by growth and persistence of patch area with roughly equal proportions of mortality and colonization. Shrub cover increased linearly from 8% in 1989 to 14% in 2008, approaching a projected maximum shrub cover of 18% based on mean annual precipitation (MAP) of 230 mm. Patch fate over this period constituted growth and persistence of shrub patch area whereas appearance of new patches remained relatively stable. Shrub patch dynamics were nonlinear and variable over time. We documented the transition from grass- to shrub-dominated states with patch dynamics signifying a shifting mosaic in which shrub patch establishment, growth, and mortality wax and wane. Monitoring patch dynamics will become increasingly important in actively managed ecosystems as an important indicator of impending shifts in ecosystem structure and function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass for biofuel production generates inhibitory compounds that interfere with microbial growth and subsequent fermentation. Remediation of the inhibitors by current physical, chemical, and biological abatement means is economically impractical, and overcoming the inhibitory effects of lignocellulose hydrolysate poses a significant technical challenge for lower-cost cellulosic ethanol production. Development of tolerant ethanologenic yeast strains has demonstrated the potential of in situ detoxification for numerous aldehyde inhibitors derived from lignocellulose biomass pretreatment and conversion. In the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding mechanisms of yeast tolerance for tolerant strain development. Enriched genetic backgrounds, enhanced expression, interplays, and global integration of many key genes enable yeast tolerance. Reprogrammed pathways support yeast functions to withstand the inhibitor stress, detoxify the toxic compounds, maintain energy and redox balance, and complete active metabolism for ethanol fermentation. Complex gene interactions and regulatory networks as well as co-regulation are well recognized as involved in yeast adaptation and tolerance. This review presents our current knowledge on mechanisms of the inhibitor detoxification based on molecular studies and genomic-based approaches. Our improved understanding of yeast tolerance and in situ detoxification provide insight into phenotype-genotype relationships, dissection of tolerance mechanisms, and strategies for more tolerant strain development for biofuels applications.

AB  - Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is an important metabolite that contributes to the growth and disease-related physiologies of prokaryotes, plants, animals and humans alike. Here we show that G3P serves as the inducer of an important form of broad-spectrum immunity in plants, termed systemic acquired resistance (SAR). SAR is induced upon primary infection and protects distal tissues from secondary infections. Genetic mutants defective in G3P biosynthesis cannot induce SAR but can be rescued when G3P is supplied exogenously. Radioactive tracer experiments show that a G3P derivative is translocated to distal tissues, and this requires the lipid transfer protein, DIR1. Conversely, G3P is required for the translocation of DIR1 to distal tissues, which occurs through the symplast. These observations, along with the fact that dir1 plants accumulate reduced levels of G3P in their petiole exudates, suggest that the cooperative interaction of DIR1 and G3P orchestrates the induction of SAR in plants.

AB  - We report the 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain MN47 based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage. We predict 32,670 genes in this outcrossing species compared to the 27,025 genes in the selfing species Arabidopsis thaliana. The much smaller 125-Mb genome of A. thaliana, which diverged from A. lyrata 10 million years ago, likely constitutes the derived state for the family. We found evidence for DNA loss from large-scale rearrangements, but most of the difference in genome size can be attributed to hundreds of thousands of small deletions, mostly in noncoding DNA and transposons. Analysis of deletions and insertions still segregating in A. thaliana indicates that the process of DNA loss is ongoing, suggesting pervasive selection for a smaller genome. The high-quality reference genome sequence for A. lyrata will be an important resource for functional, evolutionary and ecological studies in the genus Arabidopsis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts. We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current and future decisions about management of species, communities, and ecological processes in the United States. The questions were generated by an open, inclusive process that included personal interviews with decisionmakers, broad solicitation of research needs from scientists and policymakers, and an intensive workshop that included scientifically oriented individuals responsible for managing and developing policy related to natural resources. The process differed from previous efforts to set priorities for conservation research in its focus on the engagement of decisionmakers in addition to researchers. The research priorities emphasized the importance of addressing societal context and exploration of trade-offs among alternative policies and actions, as well as more traditional questions related to ecological processes and functions.

AB  - Emerging technologies allow the high-throughput profiling of metabolic status from a blood specimen (metabolomics). We investigated whether metabolite profiles could predict the development of diabetes. Among 2,422 normoglycemic individuals followed for 12 years, 201 developed diabetes. Amino acids, amines and other polar metabolites were profiled in baseline specimens by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Cases and controls were matched for age, body mass index and fasting glucose. Five branched-chain and aromatic amino acids had highly significant associations with future diabetes: isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine and phenylalanine. A combination of three amino acids predicted future diabetes (with a more than fivefold higher risk for individuals in top quartile). The results were replicated in an independent, prospective cohort. These findings underscore the potential key role of amino acid metabolism early in the pathogenesis of diabetes and suggest that amino acid profiles could aid in diabetes risk assessment.

AB  - The objective of this study was to test a series of gossypol-related compounds for growth inhibition against Aspergillus flavus. A series of chiral and achiral gossypol derivatives, some natural products of the cotton plant and others prepared by synthesis from gossypol, were incorporated into agar plates to follow the rate of A. flavus isolate AF13 colony growth. All tested compounds exhibited some growth inhibition against this organism. The synthetic compounds, gossypolone and apogossypolone, exhibited greater activity than either racemic or chiral gossypol. Methylated derivatives (i.e. 6-methoxy and 6,6′-dimethoxy derivatives) generally exhibited less activity than the nonmethylated parent compounds. The (−)-optical form of gossypol was found to be slightly more active than the (+)-optical form, and this trend was observed regardless of the presence of methoxy groups at the 6-position. Growth inhibition of gossypolone and apogossypolone was concentration dependent. For gossypolone, the 50% effective dose was 90 μg ml of medium (165 μmol l). For apogossypolone, the most active compound in the study, the 50% effective dose was 19 μg ml (38·7 μmol l). The presence of gossypol-related terpenoids appeared to stimulate production of A. flavus sclerotia, although replicate variability was so large that it was not possible to determine a significant correlation between the mass of sclerotia formed and compound growth inhibition. The quinone derivatives of gossypol, gossypolone and apogossypolone demonstrated significant fungal growth inhibitory activity against A. flavus. These gossypol derivatives may provide a new class of fungicide for use against the mycotoxigenic fungus A. flavus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mechanical properties of methane hydrate-bearing soils are complex. Their behavior undergoes a significant change when hydrates dissociate and become methane gas. On the other hand, methane hydrates are ice-like compounds and, depending on the hydrate accumulation habits and the degree of hydrate saturation, may cement soil particles into stronger and stiffer soils. A new constitutive model is proposed that is capable of capturing essential characteristics of hydrate-bearing soils. The core of the model includes the spatial mobilized plane concept; a transformed stress, tij; the critical state; and the subloading framework. The proposed model gives soil responses due to stress changes or hydrate saturation changes or both. The performance of the model has been found satisfactory, over a range of hydrate saturation and confining pressures, using triaxial test data from laboratory-synthesized samples and from field samples extracted from Nankai Trough, Japan.

AB  - The concept of nature as capital is gaining visibility in policies and practices in both the public and private sectors. This change is due to an improved ability to assess and value ecosystem services, as well as to a growing recognition of the potential of an ecosystem services approach to make tradeoffs in decision making more transparent, inform efficient use of resources, enhance resilience and sustainability, and avoid unintended negative consequences of policy actions. Globally, governments, financial institutions, and corporations have begun to incorporate natural capital accounting in their policies and practices. In the United States, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and federal agencies are actively collaborating to develop and apply ecosystem services concepts to further national environmental and economic objectives. Numerous federal agencies have begun incorporating these concepts into land use planning, water resources management, and preparations for, and responses to, climate change. Going forward, well-defined policy direction will be necessary to institutionalize ecosystem services approaches in federal agencies, as well as to guide intersector and interdisciplinary collaborative research and development efforts. In addition, a new generation of decision support tools are needed to further the practical application of ecosystem services principles in policymaking and commercial activities. Improved performance metrics are needed, as are mechanisms to monitor the status of ecosystem services and assess the environmental and economic impacts of policies and programs. A greater national and international financial commitment to advancing ecosystem services and natural capital accounting would likely have broad, long-term economic and environmental benefits.

AB  - We investigated measurement error in the self-reported diets of US Hispanics/Latinos, who are prone to obesity and related comorbidities, by background (Central American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and South American) in 2010-2012. In 477 participants aged 18-74 years, doubly labeled water and urinary nitrogen were used as objective recovery biomarkers of energy and protein intakes. Self-report was captured from two 24- hour dietary recalls. All measures were repeated in a subsample of 98 individuals. We examined the bias of dietary recalls and their associations with participant characteristics using generalized estimating equations. Energy intake was underestimated by 25.3% (men, 21.8%; women, 27.3%), and protein intake was underestimated by 18.5% (men, 14.7%; women, 20.7%). Protein density was overestimated by 10.7% (men, 11.3%; women, 10.1%). Higher body mass index and Hispanic/Latino background were associated with underestimation of energy (P < 0.05). For protein intake, higher body mass index, older age, nonsmoking, Spanish speaking, and Hispanic/Latino background were associated with underestimation (P < 0.05). Systematic underreporting of energy and protein intakes and overreporting of protein density were found to vary significantly by Hispanic/Latino background. We developed calibration equations that correct for subject-specific error in reporting that can be used to reduce bias in dietdisease association studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1-Methylcycloprene (1-MCP) is a commercially available chemical used for the treatment of flowers or fruits to retard their ripening and thus prolong their shelf-life. The main difficulties associated are it's handling and control release on purpose as 1-MCP is a gas at ambient temperature, which limits its’ broad spectrum of application. In this present study, we synthesized four boron derivatives of methylene cyclopropane (MCP) which are stable at ambient conditions and capable of releasing 1-MCP gradually in contact with water depending on their reaction rates. These or similar compounds will offer better controlled delivery of 1-MCP than the existing technology, selective application, cost effective multi-batch treatment option and more importantly has the potential to be used in open fields to increase the crop yields around the globe. Open field application of 1-MCP can be a solution to protect crops from drought conditions, where higher crop yields are restricted due to inadequate amounts or unequal distribution of rain fall. Investigated complexes could be modified with the replacement of different alkyl or aryl groups and thus generating more complexes to explore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Irradiation of fresh fruits and vegetables has been utilized as a post-harvest intervention measure to inactivate microbial pathogen on produce. The objectives of this research were to determine the survival (D 10 values) of Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf) strains 2-79, Q8R1, Q287, surface inoculated on baby spinach and romaine lettuce; and Pf strains suspended in buffer peptone water (BPW). Gamma irradiation doses of 0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 kGy were applied on P. fluorescens inoculated on produce and stored for 24 h at 4 °C. On spinach and romaine lettuce, the D 10 values of P. fluorescens ranged from 0.04 ± 0.01 to 0.05 ± 0.02 and from 0.05 ± 0.03 to 0.06 ± 0.03 kGy, respectively. Pf had high sensitivity to irradiation and its populations varied on spinach and on romaine lettuce. These results indicate that low irradiation values are required to inactivate Pf on produce resulting with low bacterial survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Water quality impairment due to excessive nutrients and sediment is a major problem in the United States ( U.S.). An important step in the mitigation of impairment in any given water body is determination of pollutant sources and amount. The sheer number of impaired waters and limited resources makes simplistic load estimation methods such as export coefficient (EC) methods attractive. Unfortunately ECs are typically based on small watershed monitoring data, which are very limited and/or often based on data collected from distant watersheds with drastically different conditions. In this research, we seek to improve the accuracy of these nutrient export estimation methods by developing a national database of localized EC for each ecoregion in the U.S. A stochastic sampling methodology loosely based on the Monte-Carlo technique was used to construct a database of 45 million Soil and Water Assessment Tool ( SWAT) simulations. These simulations consider a variety of climate, topography, soils, weather, land use, management, and conservation implementation conditions. SWAT model simulations were successfully validated with edge-of-field monitoring data. Simulated nutrient ECs compared favorably with previously published studies. These ECs may be used to rapidly estimate nutrient loading for any small catchment in the U.S. provided the location, area, and land-use distribution are known. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Physical activity and soy protein isolate (SPI) augmentation have been reported to be beneficial for bone health. We hypothesized that combining voluntary running and SPI intake would alleviate detrimental changes in bone induced by a high-fat diet. A 2 × 2 × 2 experiment was designed with diets containing 16% or 45% of energy as corn oil and 20% SPI or casein fed to sedentary or running male C57BL/6 mice for 14 weeks. Distal femurs were assessed for microstructural changes. The high-fat diet significantly decreased trabecular number (Tb.N) and bone mineral density (BMD) and increased trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). Soy protein instead of casein, regardless of fat content, in the diet significantly increased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and decreased Tb.Sp. Voluntary running, regardless of fat content, significantly decreased bone volume fraction, Tb.N, connectivity density, and BMD and increased Tb.Sp. The high-fat diet significantly decreased osteocalcin and increased tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP 5b) concentrations in plasma. Plasma concentrations of osteocalcin were increased by both SPI and running. Running alleviated the increase in TRAP 5b induced by the high-fat diet. These findings demonstrate that a high-fat diet is deleterious, and SPI is beneficial to trabecular bone properties. The deleterious effect of voluntary running on trabecular structural characteristics indicates that there may be a maximal threshold of running beyond which beneficial effects cease and detrimental effects occur. Increases in plasma osteocalcin and decreases in plasma TRAP 5b in running mice suggest that a compensatory response occurs to counteract the detrimental effects of excessive running.

AB  - Background and Aims Linkage disequilibrium ( LD) is an important tool in studies of genetics and evolution. In the cultivated species of V itis vinifera, LD has been extensively surveyed; however, in other V itis species, LD has not previously been reported. Patterns of LD in five populations of 48 V itis species and 248 accessions were extensively characterised in this study. Methods and Results Patterns of LD were discerned using 6862 intra-gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) through resequencing 12.4 kb from 30 gene fragments. Most SNPs (99.9-100.0%) in V itis presented LD associations within fragments. Similar contribution between linkage and recombination to LD was found in four of the five populations from estimation of the entire dataset. More contribution, however, from recombination to LD was observed in most of the single fragments. With moderate frequency, LD may be more stable than that with either low or high frequency. Mantel tests showed that most correlation coefficients ( Rxy) were non-significant between LD and physical distance ( PD, bp); however, most significant Rxy had negative values, indicating that PD proximity may be an important contributor to LD. Conclusions Patterns of LD differed extensively among the five populations, among gene fragments and among regions within fragments. Most SNPs were depicted near each other in the principal coordinates analysis plots, suggesting that these SNPs were associated with each other. Both advantages and disadvantages of LD association should be properly evaluated for genetic conservation and grape breeding. Significance of the Study This research not only greatly adds to our knowledge of LD association and other genetic features in the genus of V itis, but also provides valuable suggestions for genetic conservation and grape breeding.

AB  - Recent studies suggest that stream restoration at the reach scale may not increase stream biodiversity, raising concerns about the utility of this conservation practice. We examined whether reach-scale restoration in disturbed agricultural streams was associated with changes in macroinvertebrate community structure (total macroinvertebrate taxon richness, total macroinvertebrate density, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera [EPT] taxon richness, % abundance of EPT taxa) or secondary production (macroinvertebrate biomass over time). We collected macroinvertebrate samples over the course of 1 y from restored and unrestored reaches of 3 streams in southern Minnesota and used generalized least-square (GLS) models to assess whether measures of community structure were related to reach type, stream site, or sampling month. After accounting for effects of stream site and time, we found no significant difference in total taxon richness or % abundance of EPT taxa between restored and unrestored reaches. However, the number of EPT taxa and macroinvertebrate density were significantly higher in restored than in unrestored reaches. We compared secondary production estimates among study reaches based on 95th-percentile confidence intervals generated via bootstrapping. In each study stream, secondary production was significantly (2-3x) higher in the restored than in the unrestored reach. Higher productivity in the restored reaches was largely a result of the disproportionate success of a few dominant, tolerant taxa. Our findings suggest that reach-scale restoration may have ecological effects that are not detected by measures of total taxon richness alone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Orbiviruses are members of the Reoviridae family and include bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). These viruses are the cause of significant regional disease outbreaks among livestock and wildlife in the United States, some of which have been characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Competent vectors are clearly present in most regions of the globe; therefore, all segments of production livestock are at risk for serious disease outbreaks. Animals with subclinical infections also serve as reservoirs of infection and often result in significant trade restrictions. The economic and explicit impacts of BTV and EHDV infections are difficult to measure, but infections are a cause of economic loss for producers and loss of natural resources (wildlife). In response to United States Animal Health Association (USAHA) Resolution 16, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), in collaboration with the Department of the Interior (DOI), organized a gap analysis workshop composed of international experts on Orbiviruses. The workshop participants met at the Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research Unit in Manhattan, KS, May 14-16, 2013, to assess the available scientific information and status of currently available countermeasures to effectively control and mitigate the impact of an outbreak of an emerging Orbivirus with epizootic potential, with special emphasis given to BTV and EHDV. In assessing the threats, workshop participants determined that available countermeasures are somewhat effective, but several weaknesses were identified that affect their ability to prevent and control disease outbreaks effectively.

AB  - Although recognized as causing emerging and re-emerging disease outbreaks worldwide since the late 1800s, there has been growing interest in the United States and Europe in recent years in orbiviruses, their insect vectors, and the diseases they cause in domestic livestock and wildlife. This is due, in part, to the emergence of bluetongue (BT) in northern Europe in 2006-2007 resulting in a devastating outbreak, as well as severe BT outbreaks in sheep and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) outbreaks in deer and cattle in the United States. Of notable concern is the isolation of as many as 10 new BT virus (BTV) serotypes in the United States since 1999 and their associated unknowns, such as route of introduction, virulence to mammals, and indigenous competent vectors. This review, based on a gap analysis workshop composed of international experts on orbiviruses conducted in 2013, gives a global perspective of current basic virological understanding of orbiviruses, with particular attention to BTV and the closely related epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), and identifies a multitude of basic virology research gaps, critical for predicting and preventing outbreaks.

AB  - Previous research has found that the pairing symmetry in the iron-based superconductor Ba1-xKxFe2As2 changes from nodeless s wave near optimally doped, x≈0.4-0.55 and Tc>30K, to nodal (either d wave or s wave) at the pure end point, x=1 and Tc<4K. Intense theoretical interest has been focused on this possibility of changing pairing symmetry, where in the transition region both order parameters would be present and time-reversal symmetry would be broken. Here we report specific heat measurements in zero and applied magnetic fields down to 0.4 K of three individual single crystals, free of low-temperature magnetic anomalies, of heavily overdoped Ba1-xKxFe2As2,x=0.91, 0.88, and 0.81. The values for Tcmid are 5.6, 7.2, and 13 K and for Hc2≈4.5, 6, and 20 T, respectively. The data can be analyzed in a two-gap scenario, Δ2/Δ1≈4, with the magnetic field dependence of γ(=C/TasT→0) showing an anisotropic "S-shaped" behavior vs H, with the suppression of the lower gap by 1 T and γ≈H1/2 overall. Although such a nonlinear γ vs H is consistent with deep minima or nodes in the gap structure, it is not clear evidence for one, or both, of the gaps being nodal in these overdoped samples. Thus, following the established theoretical analysis of the specific heat of d-wave cuprate superconductors containing line nodes, we present the specific heat normalized by H1/2 plotted vs T/H1/2 of these heavily overdoped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 samples which--thanks to the absence of magnetic impurities in our sample--convincingly shows the expected scaling for line node behavior for the larger gap for all three compositions. There is, however, no clear observation of the nodal behavior C∝αT2 in zerofield at low temperatures, with α≤2mJ/molK3 being consistent with the data. This, together with the scaling, leaves open the possibility of extreme anisotropy in a nodeless larger gap, Δ2, such that the scaling works for fields above 0.25-0.5 T (0.2-0.4 K in temperature units), where this is an estimate for the size of the deep minima in the Δ2∼20-25K gap. Therefore, the location of the change from nodeless to nodal gaps between optimally doped and heavily overdoped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 based on the present work may be closer to the KFe2As2 end point than x=0.91.

AB  - The loss of biodiversity is threatening ecosystem productivity and services worldwide, spurring efforts to quantify its effects on the functioning of natural ecosystems. Previous research has focused on the positive role of biodiversity on resource acquisition (i.e., niche complementarity), but a lack of study on resource utilization efficiency, a link between resource and productivity, has rendered it difficult to quantify the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship. Here we demonstrate that biodiversity loss reduces plant productivity, other things held constant, through theory, empirical evidence, and simulations under gradually relaxed assumptions.We developed a theoretical model named niche-efficiency to integrate niche complementarity and a heretofore-ignored mechanism of diminishing marginal productivity in quantifying the effects of biodiversity loss on plant productivity. Based on niche-efficiency, we created a relative productivity metric and a productivity impact index (PII) to assist in biological conservation and resource management. Relative productivity provides a standardized measure of the influence of biodiversity on individual productivity, and PII is a functionally based taxonomic index to assess individual species' inherent value in maintaining current ecosystem productivity. Empirical evidence from the Alaska boreal forest suggests that every 1% reduction in overall plant diversity could render an average of 0.23% decline in individual tree productivity. Out of the 283 plant species of the region, we found that large woody plants generally have greater PII values than other species. This theoretical model would facilitate the integration of biological conservation in the international campaign against several pressing global issues involving energy use, climate change, and poverty.

AB  - Phenotypic plasticity (PP) is the development of alternate phenotypes of a given taxon as an adaptation to environmental conditions. Methodological limitations have restricted the quantification of PP to the measurement of a few traits in single organisms. We used metatranscriptomic libraries to overcome these challenges and estimate PP using the expressed genes of multiple heterotrophic organisms as a proxy for traits in a microbial community. The metatranscriptomes captured the expression response of natural marine bacterial communities grown on differing carbon resource regimes in continuous cultures. We found that taxa with different magnitudes of PP coexisted in the same cultures, and that members of the order Rhodobacterales had the highest levels of PP. In agreement with previous studies, our results suggest that continuous culturing may have specifically selected for taxa featuring a rather high range of PP. On average, PP and abundance changes within a taxon contributed equally to the organism's change in functional gene abundance, implying that both PP and abundance mediated observed differences in community function. However, not all functional changes due to PP were directly reflected in the bulk community functional response: gene expression changes in individual taxa due to PP were partly masked by counterbalanced expression of the same gene in other taxa. This observation demonstrates that PP had a stabilizing effect on a community's functional response to environmental change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the two important species responsible for most of the Campylobacter infections in humans. Reliable isolation and detection of Campylobacter spp. from food samples are challenging due to the interferences from complex food substances and the fastidious growth requirements of this organism. In this study, a novel biosensor-based detection called BARDOT ( BA cterial R apid D etection using O ptical scattering T echnology) was developed for high-throughput screening of Campylobacter colonies grown on an agar plate without disrupting the intact colonies. Image pattern characterization and principal component analysis (PCA) of 6909 bacterial colonies showed that the light scatter patterns of C. jejuni and C. coli were strikingly different from those of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes . Examination of a mixed culture of these microorganisms revealed 85% (34/40) accuracy in differentiating Campylobacter from the other three major foodborne pathogens based on the similarity to the scatter patterns in an established library. The application of BARDOT in real food has been addressed through the analysis of Campylobacter spiked ground chicken and naturally contaminated fresh chicken pieces. Combined with real-time PCR verification, BARDOT was able to identify Campylobacter isolates from retail chicken. Moreover, applying passive filtration to food samples facilitated the isolation of pure Campylobacter colonies and therefore overcame the interference of the food matrix on BARDOT analysis.

AB  - To evaluate the utility of  several participant engagement indicators  for predicting health changes in  a church-based lifestyle intervention  shown effective for improving dietary,  physical activity, and clinical outcomes.  Methods: Descriptive indicators were  constructed using 2 participant engagement  measures - education session attendance  (EDA) and exercise class attendance  (EXA) - separately and combined.  Relationships of 6 engagement indicators  to health outcomes were tested using  generalized linear mixed models.  Results: EDA predicted 5 dietary and 1  clinical outcome, whereas EXA predicted  one physical activity and one clinical  outcome. The combined indicator predicted  the same 7 outcomes. Conclusion:  Use of single engagement indicators specific  to each intervention component is  advocated for predicting relevant health  outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To investigate the feasibility of using dielectric spectra in nondestructively determining the soluble solids content (SSC) of fruits, the dielectric constants and loss factors of 160 apples of three varieties (Fuji, Red Rome, and Pink Lady) were obtained at 51 discrete frequencies from 10 to 1800 MHz with an open-ended coaxial-line probe and an impedance/material analyzer. Based on the joint x-y distances sample set partitioning (SPXY) method, 106 apples were selected for the calibration set and the other 54 samples were used for the prediction set. The principal component analysis (PCA), uninformative variables elimination method (UVE-PLS), based on partial least squares, and successive projection algorithm (SPA) were applied to extract characteristic variables from original full dielectric spectra. The generalized regression neural network (GRNN), support vector machine (SVM) and extreme learning machine (ELM) modeling methods were used to establish models to predict SSC of apples, based on the original full dielectric spectra and characteristic variables, respectively. Results showed that four principal components were selected as characteristic variables by PCA, 15 dielectric constants and 14 loss factors at different frequencies were selected as characteristic variables by UVE-PLS, and one dielectric constant and ten loss factors were chosen as feature variables by SPA. ELM combined with SPA had the best SSC prediction performance, with calibrated correlation coefficient and predicted correlation coefficient of 0.898 and 0.908, respectively, and calibrated root-mean-square error and predicted root-mean-square error of 0.840 and 0.822, respectively. The study indicates that dielectric spectra combined with artificial neural network and chemometric methods might be applied in nondestructive determination of SSC of apples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key message: We identified QTL associated with protein and amino acids in a soybean mapping population that was grown in five environments. These QTL could be used in MAS to improve these traits. Abstract: Soybean, rather than nitrogen-containing forages, is the primary source of quality protein in feed formulations for domestic swine, poultry, and dairy industries. As a sole dietary source of protein, soybean is deficient in the amino acids lysine (Lys), threonine (Thr), methionine (Met), and cysteine (Cys). Increasing these amino acids would benefit the feed industry. The objective of the present study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with crude protein (cp) and amino acids in the 'Benning' × 'Danbaekkong' population. The population was grown in five southern USA environments. Amino acid concentrations as a fraction of cp (Lys/cp, Thr/cp, Met/cp, Cys/cp, and Met + Cys/cp) were determined by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Four QTL associated with the variation in crude protein were detected on chromosomes (Chr) 14, 15, 17, and 20, of which, a QTL on Chr 20 explained 55 % of the phenotypic variation. In the same chromosomal region, QTL for Lys/cp, Thr/cp, Met/cp, Cys/cp and Met + Cys/cp were detected. At these QTL, the Danbaekkong allele resulted in reduced levels of these amino acids and increased protein concentration. Two additional QTL for Lys/cp were detected on Chr 08 and 20, and three QTL for Thr/cp on Chr 01, 09, and 17. Three QTL were identified on Chr 06, 09 and 10 for Met/cp, and one QTL was found for Cys/cp on Chr 10. The study provides information concerning the relationship between crude protein and levels of essential amino acids and may allow for the improvement of these traits in soybean using marker-assisted selection.

AB  - The coexistence pressure of two phases is a well-defined point at fixed temperature. In experiment, however, due to nonhydrostatic stresses and a stress-dependent potential energy barrier, different measurements yield different ranges of pressure with a hysteresis. Accounting for these effects, we propose an inequality for comparison of the theoretical value to a plurality of measured intervals. We revisit decades of pressure experiments on the bcc ↔ hcp transformations in iron, which are sensitive to nonhydrostatic conditions and sample size. From electronic-structure calculations, we find a bcc ↔ hcp coexistence pressure of 8.4 GPa. We construct the equation of state for competing phases under hydrostatic pressure, compare to experiments and other calculations, and address the observed pressure hysteresis and range of onset pressures of the nucleating phase.

AB  - RATIONALE: Analysis for identification and quantification of regulated veterinary drug residues in foods is usually achieved by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The instrumental method requires the selection of characteristic ions, but structural elucidation is seldom performed to help ensure accuracy. This study is a continuation of previous work to characterize selected product ions in support of regulatory monitoring programs. METHODS: The tandem mass spectra of 28 veterinary drugs from a previously published LC/MS/MS method were acquired with a high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive mode. The TOF analyzer was calibrated to achieve a mass accuracy error <5ppm for the MS and MS/MS modes, and samples were infused for data acquisition. RESULTS: The high mass accuracy achieved in Q-TOF allowed elucidation of the formulae of the product ions previously selected for qualitative identification. Rational interpretation of results was made and compared with the published literature, and the structure for the MS/MS product ions of four classes of regulated drugs (mectins, benzimidazoles, nitroimidazoles, and phenothiazines), totaling 28 compounds, were examined leading to the report of new structures or confirmation of published structures using low-resolution MS. CONCLUSIONS: Structural characterization of the product ions selected for identification and quantification of veterinary drug residues is important information for regulatory monitoring programs in defense of regulatory enforcement actions. This study has allowed structural elucidation of 84 MS/MS product ions previously selected for the LC/MS/MS analysis of 28 drug analytes. Published in 2015. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The human mammary gland is capable of de novo synthesis of glucose and galactose (hexoneogenesis); however, the carbon source is incompletely understood. We investigated the role of acetate, glutamine, lactate and glycerol as potential carbon sources for hexoneogenesis. Subjects: Healthy breastfeeding women were studied following a 24h fast on two occasions separated by 1-3wk. Five women were infused with [U-13C]lactate or [1,2-13C2]glutamine and 5 women with [U-13C]glycerol or [1,2-13C2]acetate. Enrichments of 13C in plasma and milk substrates were analyzed using GCMS. Results: Labeled lactate, glycerol, glutamine, and acetate resulted in plasma glucose being 22.0±3.7, 11.2±1.0, 2.5±0.5 and 1.3±0.2% labelled, respectively. Lactate, glutamine or acetate did not contribute to milk glucose or galactose (0-2%). In milk, 13C free glycerol enrichment was 1/4 of that in plasma but free milk glycerol concentration was 4 fold higher than plasma. Using [U-13C]glycerol and by accounting for tracer dilution, glycerol alone contributed to 10±2 and 69±11% of the hexoneogenesis of milk glucose and galactose, respectively. During [U-13C]glycerol infusion, the ratio of M3 enrichment on 4-6 carbons/M3 on 1-3 carbons of galactose was higher (P<0.05) (1.22±0.05) than those of glucose in plasma (1.05±0.03) and milk (1.07±0.02). Reanalysis of samples from a previous study involving [U-13C]glucose infusion alone suggested labeling a portion of galactose consistent with pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Conclusions: While, lactate contributed significantly to gluconeogenesis, glycerol alone provides the vast majority of substrate for hexoneogenesis. The relative contribution of PPP vs. the reversal Embden-Meyerhof pathway to hexoneogenesis remains to be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ObjectiveAn important debate in the literature is whether or not higher energy-dense foods are cheaper than less energy-dense foods. The present communication develops and applies an easy statistical test to determine if the relationship between food price and energy density is an artifact of how the data units are constructed (i.e. is it ‘spurious’ or ‘real’?).DesignAfter matching data on 4430 different foods from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with corresponding prices from the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion’s Food Prices Database, we use a simple regression model to test if the relationship between food price and energy density is ‘real’ or ‘spurious’.SettingUSA.SubjectsTotal sample size is 4430 observations of consumed foods from 4578 participants from the non-institutionalized US adult population (aged 19 years and over).ResultsOver all 4430 foods, the null hypothesis of a spurious inverse relationship between food price per energy density and energy density is not rejected. When the analysis is broken down by twenty-five food groups, there are only two cases where the inverse relationship is not spurious. In fact, the majority of non-spurious relationships between food price and energy density are positive, not negative.ConclusionsOne of the main arguments put forth regarding the poor diet quality of low-income households is that high energy-dense food is cheaper than lower energy-dense food. We find almost no statistical support for higher energy-dense food being cheaper than low energy-dense food. While economics certainly plays a role in explaining low nutritional quality, more sophisticated economic arguments are required and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The field of parasitology contributes to the elucidation of patterns and processes in evolution, ecology, and biogeography that are of fundamental importance across the biosphere, leading to a thorough understanding of biodiversity and varied responses to global change. Foundations from taxonomic and systematic information drive biodiversity discovery and foster considerable infrastructure and integration of research programs. Morphological, physiological, behavioral, life-history, and molecular data can be synthesized to discover and describe global parasite diversity, in a timely manner. In fully incorporating parasitology in policies for adaptation to global change, parasites and their hosts should be archived and studied within a newly emergent conceptual universe (the ‘Stockholm Paradigm’), embracing the inherent complexity of host–parasite systems and improved explanatory power to understand biodiversity past, present, and future.

AB  - PdCuAu ternary alloy membranes with different component compositions were synthesized by sequential electroless deposition of components onto porous stainless steel substrates. The ternary with the highest Au content, Pd 69 Cu 14 Au 17 , exhibited the highest hydrogen permeation flux, comparable to that of a Pd 91 Au 9 membrane. Upon exposure to 100 ppm H 2 S/H 2 at 673 K for 24 h, all PdCuAu membranes experienced flux reductions of ~55%, followed by recovery to ~80% of the initial hydrogen flux upon reintroduction of pure hydrogen at 400 °C. Complete flux recovery after H 2 S exposure required hydrogen treatment at 500 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the H 2 S-exposed PdCuAu membranes revealed fcc alloy structure with no evidence of bulk sulfide formation. In agreement with the XRD results, sulfur was not detected in the bulk of H 2 S-exposed samples by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). However, analysis of H 2 S-exposed PdCuAu alloys by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling revealed low, but measureable, amounts of sulfur in the near-surface region, about 10 nm in depth. The depth profiles of samples after hydrogen recovery treatment showed significantly reduced sulfur content. These results indicate that H 2 S exposure causes flux loss in PdCuAu alloys through a surface-poisoning mechanism, and that the surface sulfide can be removed—and flux recovered—by high temperature treatment in hydrogen.

AB  - The objective of this study was to evaluate soil nutrient loading and depth distributions of extractable nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) after long-term, continuous annual surface applications of anaerobically digested class B biosolids at a municipal recycling facility in central Texas. Commercial forage production fields of coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylonL.) were surface applied at 0, 20, 40, or 60 Mg dry biosolids ha−1 y−1for 8 years. Application duration was evaluated in fields treated with 20 Mg dry biosolids ha−1 y−1for 0, 8, or 20 years. Total soil loads of extractable inorganic N and P increased linearly with application rate, but only extractable P increased with duration. Neither total load nor soil distribution of extractable K was affected by biosolid applications. Mineralization of biosolid-derived organic N and P likely contributed to elevated concentrations of nitrate throughout the soil profile (0–110 cm) and orthophosphate in surface soils (0–40 cm).

AB  - The Zetaproteobacteria are a candidate class of marine iron-oxidizing bacteria that are typically found in high iron environments such as hydrothermal vent sites. As much remains unknown about these organisms due to difficulties in cultivation, single-cell genomics was used to learn more about this elusive group at Loihi Seamount. Comparative genomics of 23 phylogenetically diverse single amplified genomes (SAGs) and two isolates indicate niche specialization among the Zetaproteobacteria may be largely due to oxygen tolerance and nitrogen transformation capabilities. Only Form II ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RubisCO) genes were found in the SAGs, suggesting that some of the uncultivated Zetaproteobacteria may be adapted to low oxygen and/or high carbon dioxide concentrations. There is also genomic evidence of oxygen-tolerant cytochrome c oxidases and oxidative stress-related genes, indicating that others may be exposed to higher oxygen conditions. The Zetaproteobacteria also have the genomic potential for acquiring nitrogen from numerous sources including ammonium, nitrate, organic compounds, and nitrogen gas. Two types of molybdopterin oxidoreductase genes were found in the SAGs, indicating that those found in the isolates, thought to be involved in iron oxidation, are not consistent among all the Zetaproteobacteria. However, a novel cluster of redox-related genes was found to be conserved in 10 SAGs as well as in the isolates warranting further investigation. These results were used to isolate a novel iron-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria. Physiological studies and genomic analysis of this isolate were able to support many of the findings from SAG analyses demonstrating the value of these data for designing future enrichment strategies.

AB  - Monitoring and protecting germplasm in genebanks using in situ collections while preserving its original genetic integrity is a priority of germplasm curation. Many germplasm accessions need to be regenerated due to their demand and/or seed condition. The regeneration of wild Helianthus (sunflower) species poses several challenges due to the diversity of 53 wild species. Fatty acid composition of sunflower oil is an important quality factor for the crop. Since oil quality is environmentally influenced, and evaluation of this trait is usually performed on oil from achenes from the original accessions of wild sunflower species, we conducted a study on 72 accessions of eight annual and four perennial taxa of wild sunflower species to compare the oil quality of the original accessions and those regenerated for genebank maintenance. The results showed that the fatty acid composition profiles of achenes from the original and regenerated accessions are not the same. It seems that selection for specific fatty acids in several species will require the analysis of both populations to identify germplasm accessions for use in breeding programmes. It should be borne in mind that accessions of wild species are open-pollinated segregating populations, so one would expect some variability in each succeeding generation. While there may be differences between the original and regenerated accessions, the interrelationships of fatty acids are generally similar in wild and cultivated sunflower species, so there should be no detrimental effects on oil quality when using the wild species for other traits. As more regenerated accessions become available, a more precise relationship between the original and regenerated accessions should emerge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An efficient parallel tensor transpose algorithm is suggested for shared-memory computing units, namely, multicore CPU, Intel Xeon Phi, and NVidia GPU. The algorithm operates on dense tensors (multidimensional arrays) and is based on the optimization of cache utilization on x86 CPU and the use of shared memory on NVidia GPU. From the applied side, the ultimate goal is to minimize the overhead encountered in the transformation of tensor contractions into matrix multiplications in computer implementations of advanced methods of quantum many-body theory (e.g., in electronic structure theory and nuclear physics). A particular accent is made on higher-dimensional tensors that typically appear in the so-called multireference correlated methods of electronic structure theory. Depending on tensor dimensionality, the presented optimized algorithms can achieve an order of magnitude speedup on x86 CPUs and 2–3 times speedup on NVidia Tesla K20X GPU with respect to the naïve scattering algorithm (no memory access optimization). The tensor transpose routines developed in this work have been incorporated into a general-purpose tensor algebra library (TAL-SH). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although climate models forecast warmer temperatures with a high degree of certainty, precipitation is the primary driver of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in most grasslands. Conversely, variations in temperature seldom are related to patterns of ANPP. Thus forecasting responses to warming is a challenge, and raises the question: how sensitive will grassland ANPP be to warming? We evaluated climate and multi-year ANPP data (67 years) from eight western US grasslands arrayed along mean annual temperature (MAT; ~7-14 °C) and mean annual precipitation (MAP; ~250-500 mm) gradients. We used regression and analysis of covariance to assess relationships between ANPP and temperature, as well as precipitation (annual and growing season) to evaluate temperature sensitivity of ANPP. We also related ANPP to the standardized precipitation evaporation index (SPEI), which combines precipitation and evapotranspiration to better represent moisture available for plant growth. Regression models indicated that variation in growing season temperature was negatively related to total and graminoid ANPP, but precipitation was a stronger predictor than temperature. Growing season temperature was also a significant parameter in more complex models, but again precipitation was consistently a stronger predictor of ANPP. Surprisingly, neither annual nor growing season SPEI were as strongly related to ANPP as precipitation. We conclude that forecasted warming likely will affect ANPP in these grasslands, but that predicting temperature effects from natural climatic gradients is difficult. This is because, unlike precipitation, warming effects can be positive or negative and moderated by shifts in the C/C ratios of plant communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We pooled data from 5 large validation studies (1999-2009) of dietary self-report instruments that used recovery biomarkers as referents, to assess food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) and 24-hour recalls (24HRs). Here we report on total potassium and sodium intakes, their densities, and their ratio. Results were similar by sex but were heterogeneous across studies. For potassium, potassium density, sodium, sodium density, and sodium:potassium ratio, average correlation coefficients for the correlation of reported intake with true intake on the FFQs were 0.37, 0.47, 0.16, 0.32, and 0.49, respectively. For the same nutrients measured with a single 24HR, they were 0.47, 0.46, 0.32, 0.31, and 0.46, respectively, rising to 0.56, 0.53, 0.41, 0.38, and 0.60 for the average of three 24HRs. Average underreporting was 5%-6% with an FFQ and 0%-4% with a single 24HR for potassium but was 28%-39% and 4%-13%, respectively, for sodium. Higher body mass index was related to under reporting of sodium. Calibration equations for true intake that included personal characteristics provided improved prediction, except for sodium density. In summary, self-reports capture potassium intake quite well but sodium intake less well. Using densities improves the measurement of potassium and sodium on an FFQ. Sodium:potassium ratio is measured much better than sodium itself on both FFQs and 24HRs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article talks about the contribution of environmental heterogeneity in the maintenance of glucosinolates (GSL) variations in Arabidopsis thaliana. Heterogeneous selective forces are generated with shifting biotic pressures, which can maintain standing natural variation within a species. It was observed that variation in naturally polymorphic GSL genes, affected the fitness in each of our environments.

AB  - Objective To determine whether fourth-grade students participating in the Shaping Healthy Choices Program (SHCP), a school-based nutrition intervention, would change vegetable and carotenoid intake measured by skin carotenoids and dietary intake. Methods Single-group pretest–posttest with a self-selected, convenience sample of students (n = 30) participating in the SHCP, which lasted 1 academic year (9 months). Dietary intake of vegetables and carotenoids as measured by Block food frequency questionnaire and skin carotenoids as measured by Raman spectroscopy were collected at the school preintervention and postintervention. Results Reported carotenoid intake decreased by 1.5 mg ( P = .05) and skin carotenoids decreased by 2,247.9 RRS intensity units ( P = .04). Change in reported intake correlated with change in skin carotenoids ( r = .43; P = .02). Conclusions and Implications The reported decrease in vegetable and carotenoid intake was unanticipated; nevertheless, the RRS measurements confirmed this. RRS data can help evaluate changes in fruit and vegetable intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mycobacterium tuberculosis is recognised as the primary cause of human tuberculosis worldwide. However, substantial evidence suggests that the burden of Mycobacterium bovis, the cause of bovine tuberculosis, might be underestimated in human beings as the cause of zoonotic tuberculosis. In 2013, results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of global zoonotic tuberculosis showed that the same challenges and concerns expressed 15 years ago remain valid. These challenges faced by people with zoonotic tuberculosis might not be proportional to the scientific attention and resources allocated in recent years to other diseases. The burden of zoonotic tuberculosis in people needs important reassessment, especially in areas where bovine tuberculosis is endemic and where people live in conditions that favour direct contact with infected animals or animal products. As countries move towards detecting the 3 million tuberculosis cases estimated to be missed annually, and in view of WHO's end TB strategy endorsed by the health authorities of WHO Member States in 2014 to achieve a world free of tuberculosis by 2035, we call on all tuberculosis stakeholders to act to accurately diagnose and treat tuberculosis caused by M bovis in human beings.

T1  - Trends in Weight-for-Length Among Infants in WIC From 2000 to 2014.

AB  - OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence and secular trends of high weight-for-length among infants (ages, 3-23 months) in the biennial US Department of Agriculture Women, Infants, and Children Program and Participants Characteristic (WIC-PC) Survey from 2000 through 2014 (n = 16 927 120). METHODS: Weight-for-length was considered to be "high" if it was ≥2 SDs above the sex-and age-specific median in the World Health Organization growth standards. Poisson regression was used to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of high weight-for-length increased from 13.4% in 2000 to 14.5% in 2004, remained constant until 2010, and then decreased by >2 percentage points (to 12.3%) through 2014. The prevalence of high weight-for-length was associated with sex (higher among boys), race-ethnicity (highest among American Indians/Alaskan Natives), and with both age (positive) and family income (inverse). The secular trends, however, were fairly similar within categories of these variables. From 2010 to 2014, the prevalence of high weight-for-length decreased in 40 states and 3 (of 5) US territories, with the largest decreases seen in Puerto Rico (-9 percentage points) and Kentucky (-7 percentage points), and the largest increase (+2 percentage points) seen in West Virginia. CONCLUSIONS: Although the current results cannot be considered representative of infants in the populations, the prevalence of a high weight-for-length has decreased among infants in WIC-PC since 2010. These decreases were similar across categories of most characteristics, but there were substantial differences across jurisdictions, possibly reflecting differences in policy and local programs that target maternal and infant health.

Comparable values of lattice parameter were obtained for the Mg-substituted samples. Saturation magnetization continuously decreased with increase in Mg concentration. Peak-to-peak magnetostriction amplitude and strain sensitivity had a similar dependence on Mg concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report for the first time successful growth of magnetic thin films containing the Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 phase, which is expected to show giant magnetocaloric properties. The film was deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) on a (001) silicon wafer at 200 °C from a polycrystalline Gd5Si2.09Ge1.91 target prepared by arc melting. PLD was achieved using a femto second laser with a repetition rate of 1 kHz, and a pulse energy of up to 3.5 mJ. The average film thickness was measured to be 400 nm using a Scanning Electron Microscopy and the composition of the film was analyzed using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy and found to be close to the target composition. X-Ray Diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of Gd5Si2Ge2 monoclinic structure. Magnetic moment vs. magnetic field measurement confirmed that the film was ferromagnetic at a temperature of 200 K. The transition temperature of the film was determined from a plot of magnetic moment vs. temperature. The transition temperature was between 280 and 300 K which is close to the transition temperature of the bulk material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this study, the thermal expansion and Gruneisen parameter of polycrystalline "Pr5Ni2Si3" and "Pr15Ni7Si10" were investigated over the temperature range of 5-300 K. Calculations of the phonon contribution to thermal expansion were made, which allowed the magnetic contribution to thermal expansion to be calculated from the difference between the total thermal expansion and the phonon contribution. This resulted in a temperature-dependent magnetic contribution to thermal expansion that varied with the magnetic ordering of the material. The results show two magnetic transitions in each compound, the higher temperature transition corresponding to the Curie temperature and the lower temperature transition resulting from a spin reorientation.

AB  - Feeding the world’s population in 40 years will require improved efficiency in the use of plant nutrients and enhancement of soil resources. Over the past 60 years, agricultural production has rapidly increased; however, continued degradation of soil may limit further increases. Improving the soil through enhanced soil biological activity has been proposed as a method of increasing the capacity of the soil to produce crops. Ongoing evaluations of one soil biological fertilizer with a patented process to convert and complex manure into stable finished products (AgroBiotic fertilizers) have been conducted in research plots and producer fields and have shown positive effects on grain yield and potato production. These effects are larger in soils with limited biological activity, suggesting that adding this unique AgroBiotic fertilizer helps restore the biological nutrient cycling in the soil. New developments and innovations that improve nutrient availability and the efficacy of soil biological fertilizers have the potential to help restore degraded soils and improve their production efficiency and capacity to feed the world’s population.

AB  - Removal of soil phosphorus (P) in crop harvest is a remediation option for soils high in P. This 4-year field-plot study determined P uptake by annual ryegrass (ARG,Lolium multiflorumLam.) and common bermudagrass (CB,Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers.) from Ruston soil (fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudult) enriched in P by five previous annual applications of poultry litter, and related P removed to Bray 2 P in surface (0–15 cm) soil. Decreases in surface soil Bray 2 P were largely attributable to uptake. Phosphorus uptake was positively related to Bray 2 P but approached a limit. Mass of P removed in harvest closely approximated the decrease in mass of surface soil Bray 2 P. Maximum Bray 2 P drawdown per harvest (ARG and CB, average) was ˜3 mg kg−1at Bray 2 P ˜ 300 mg kg−1, generally consistent with measured decreases in Bray 2 P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Few of the numerous published studies of the emissions from biofuels-induced "indirect" land use change (ILUC) attempt to propagate and quantify uncertainty, and those that have done so have restricted their analysis to a portion of the modeling systems used In this study, we pair a global, computable general equilibrium model with a model of greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change to quantify the parametric uncertainty in the paired modeling systems estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from ILUC induced by expanded production of three biofuels. We find that for the three fuel systems examined-US com ethanol, Brazilian sugar cane ethanol, and US soybean biodiesel-95% of the results occurred within ±20 g C02e MJ-1 of the mean (coefficient of variation of 20-45%), with economic model parameters related to crop yield and the productivity of newly converted cropland (from forestry and pasture) contributing most of the variance in estimated ILUC emissions intensity. Although the experiments performed here allow us to characterize parametric uncertainty, changes to the model structure have the potential to shift the mean by tens of grams of C02e per megajoule and further broaden distributions for ILUC emission intensities.

AB  - Fungi that have the enzymes cyanase and carbonic anhydrase show a limited capacity to detoxify cyanate, a fungicide employed by both plants and humans. Here, we describe a novel two-gene cluster that comprises duplicated cyanase and carbonic anhydrase copies,which we name the CCA gene cluster, trace its evolution across Ascomycetes, and examine the evolutionary dynamics of its spread among lineages of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex (hereafter referred to as the FOSC), a cosmopolitan clade of purportedly clonal vascular wilt plant pathogens. Phylogeneticanalysis of fungal cyanase and carbonic an hydrase genes reveals that the CCA gene cluster arose independently at least twice and is now present in three lineages, namely Cochliobolus lunatus, Oidiodendron maius, and the FOSC. Genome-wide surveys within the FOSC indicate that the CCA gene cluster varies in copy number a cross isolates, is always located on accessory chromosomes, and is absent in FOSC's closest relatives. Phylogenetic reconstruction of the CCA gene cluster in163 FOSC strains from a wide variety of hosts suggests are cent history of rampant transfers between isolates. We hypothesize that the independent formation of the CCA gene cluster in different fungal lineages and its spread across FOSC strains may be associated with resistance to plant-produced cyanates or to use of cyanate fungicides in agriculture.

AB  - The origins of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in swine are unknown, highlighting gaps in our understanding of influenza A virus (IAV) ecology and evolution. We review how recently strengthened influenza virus surveillance in pigs has revealed that influenza virus transmission from humans to swine is far more frequent than swine-to-human zoonosis, and is central in seeding swine globally with new viral diversity. The scale of global human-to-swine transmission represents the largest ‘reverse zoonosis’ of a pathogen documented to date. Overcoming the bias towards perceiving swine as sources of human viruses, rather than recipients, is key to understanding how the bidirectional nature of the human–animal interface produces influenza threats to both hosts.

AB  - Heat treatment of harvested fruit has been demonstrated to be an effective and a safe approach for managing postharvest decay. In the present study, the effect of a hot water treatment (HT) (45 °C for 10 min) on the response of apple to blue mold infection was investigated. HT was applied to ‘Ultima Gala’ apples using 2 different methods. Wounded apples were: (1) inoculated with a Penicillium expansum spore suspension and then heat-treated after 1, 4 and 24 h (Inoc-HT); or (2) first heat-treated and then inoculated with a P. expansum spore suspension after 1, 4 and 24 h (HT-Inoc). All treated/inoculated apples were stored at 20 °C for 6 days. Significant reductions in fruit rot incidence, up to 100%, were observed using the Inoc-HT protocol at 4 and 24 h while a 30% reduction in blue mold incidence was found at 1 and 4 h using the HT-Inoc method. In vitro experiments showed no evident lethal effect of HT at 45 °C for 10 min on the germination of P. expansum conidia, indicating that this pathogen has a high heat tolerance. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in fruit response to heat treatment, an apple microarray was used to conduct a global transcriptional analysis of gene expression in apple at 0, 15, 30 min, 1, 4, 8 and 24 h after the heat treatment. The results provided evidence that at 1 and 4 h after heating, the HT apples had the highest number of differentially expressed genes. A significant upregulation of heat shock proteins, heat shock cognate protein, and heat shock transcription factor genes, involved in thermotolerance were observed. This indicates that the apple fruit respond to the heat treatment in a programmed manner and suggests that the genes responsible for thermotolerance may also be involved in the induced resistance response.

AB  - Wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina have been traditionally separated in two categories termed white and brown rot. Recently the accuracy of such a dichotomy has been questioned. Here, we present the genome sequences of the white-rot fungus Cylindrobasidium torrendii and the brown-rot fungus Fistulina hepatica both members of Agaricales, combining comparative genomics and wood decay experiments. C. torrendii is closely related to the white-rot root pathogen Armillaria mellea , while F. hepatica is related to Schizophyllum commune , which has been reported to cause white rot. Our results suggest that C. torrendii and S. commune are intermediate between white-rot and brown-rot fungi, but at the same time they show characteristics of decay that resembles soft rot. Both species cause weak wood decay and degrade all wood components but leave the middle lamella intact. Their gene content related to lignin degradation is reduced, similar to brown-rot fungi, but both have maintained a rich array of genes related to carbohydrate degradation, similar to white-rot fungi. These characteristics appear to have evolved from white-rot ancestors with stronger ligninolytic ability. F. hepatica shows characteristics of brown rot both in terms of wood decay genes found in its genome and the decay that it causes. However, genes related to cellulose degradation are still present, which is a plesiomorphic characteristic shared with its white-rot ancestors. Four wood degradation-related genes, homologs of which are frequently lost in brown-rot fungi, show signs of pseudogenization in the genome of F. hepatica . These results suggest that transition toward a brown-rot lifestyle could be an ongoing process in F. hepatica . Our results reinforce the idea that wood decay mechanisms are more diverse than initially thought and that the dichotomous separation of wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina into white rot and brown rot should be revisited.

AB  - Downed dead wood (DDW) in forest ecosystems is a C pool whose net flux is governed by a complex of natural and anthropogenic processes and is critical to the management of the entire forest C pool. As empirical examination of DDW C net flux has rarely been conducted across large scales, the goal of this study was to use a remeasured inventory of DDW C and ancillary forest attributes to assess C net flux across forests of the Eastern US. Stocks associated with large fine woody debris (diameter 2.6-7.6 cm) decreased over time (−0.11 Mg ha year), while stocks of larger-sized coarse DDW increased (0.02 Mg ha year). Stocks of total DDW C decreased (−0.14 Mg ha year), while standing dead and live tree stocks both increased, 0.01 and 0.44 Mg ha year, respectively. The spatial distribution of DDW C stock change was highly heterogeneous with random forests model results indicating that management history, live tree stocking, natural disturbance, and growing degree days only partially explain stock change. Natural disturbances drove substantial C transfers from the live tree pool (≈−4 Mg ha year) to the standing dead tree pool (≈3 Mg ha year) with only a minimal increase in DDW C stocks (≈1 Mg ha year) in lower decay classes, suggesting a delayed transfer of C to the DDW pool. The assessment and management of DDW C flux is complicated by the diversity of natural and anthropogenic forces that drive their dynamics with the scale and timing of flux among forest C pools remaining a large knowledge gap.

AB  - This study seeks to quantify the roles of soybean and corn plants and the cropland ecosystem in the regional NO budget of the Upper Midwest, USA. The NO flux was measured at three scales (plant, the soil-plant ecosystem, and region) using newly designed steady-state flow-through plant chambers, a flux-gradient micrometeorological tower, and continuous tall-tower observatories. Results indicate that the following. (1) NO fluxes from unfertilized soybean (0.03 ± 0.05 nmol m s) and fertilized corn plants (−0.01 ± 0.04 nmol m s) were about one magnitude lower than NO emissions from the soil-plant ecosystem (0.26 nmol m s for soybean and 0.95 nmol m s for corn), confirming that cropland NO emissions were mainly from the soil. (2) Fertilization increased the corn plant flux for a short period (about 20 days), and late-season fertilization dramatically increased the soybean plant emissions. (3) The direct NO emission from cropland accounted for less than 20 % of the regional flux, suggesting a significant influence by other sources and indirect emissions, in the regional NO budget.

AB  - Inorganic nitrate (NO) and ammonium (NH) are the two major components in nitrogen (N) nutrition of typical tissue culture growth media, and the total amounts and ratios influence both shoot induction and differentiation. This study was designed to determine the optimal N requirements and interactions of NH × NO to complete the optimization of a pear shoot culture medium. Pyrus communis 'Horner 51' and 'OH × F 87', P. cordata, P. pyrifolia 'Sion Szu Mi', and P. ussuriensis 'Hang Pa Li' from the pear germplasm collection of the US Department of Agriculture, National Clonal Germplasm Repository-Corvallis (NCGR) were evaluated. Response surface design was used to create and analyze treatment combinations of NH, K, and NO. Cultures were evaluated for overall quality, shoot length, multiplication, leaf color and size, leaf spotting and necrosis, and callus production. Significant improvement was observed in multiplication and length for most genotypes. Reduced callus amounts were seen in two genotypes, and greener leaves were also seen in two genotypes. Each species had a distinct response, and the N form could be manipulated to produce longer shoots, more shoots, or less callus. For the best-quality shoots, both P. communis cultivars required high NO and low to moderate NH, P. cordata quality was best with high NO and NH, P. pyrifolia 'Sion Szu Mi' quality improved with moderate NO and high NH, and P. ussuriensis 'Hang Pa Li' required low NO and high NH. This study illustrates that optimizing the N components of a growth medium is very important when working with diverse plant germplasm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf)-catalyzed reaction of methyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate with 3-O-benzyl-4-(2,4-di-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-L-glycerotetronamido)- 4,6-dideoxy-2-O-levulinoyl-a-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate followed by a two-step deprotection (hydrogenolysis over Pd/C catalyst and Zemplén deacylation, to simultaneously remove the acetyl and levulinoyl groups) gave 5-(methoxycarbonyl)pentyl 4-(3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronamido)-4,6-dideoxy-α-D-mannopyranoside. The structure of the latter, for which crystals were obtained in the analytically pure state for the first time, followed from its NMR and high-resolution mass spectra and was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The molecule has two approximately linear components; a line through the aglycon intersects a line through the mannosyl and tetronylamido groups at 120°. The crystal packing separates the aglycon groups from the tetronylamido and mannosyl groups, with only C-H...O hydrogen bonding among the aglycon groups and N-H...O, O-H...O and C-H...O links among the tetronylamido and mannosyl groups. A carbonyl oxygen atom accepts the strongest O-H...O hydrogen bond and two strong C-H...O hydrogen bonds. The geometric properties were compared with those of related molecules.

AB  - Heat stress ( HS) jeopardizes human and animal health and reduces animal agriculture productivity; however, its pathophysiology is not well understood. Study objectives were to evaluate the direct effects of HS on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Female pigs (57 ± 5 kg body weight) were subjected to two experimental periods. During period 1, all pigs remained in thermoneutral conditions ( TN; 20°C) and were ad libitum fed. During period 2, pigs were exposed to: (1) constant HS conditions (32°C) and fed ad libitum ( n = 7), or (2) TN conditions and pair-fed ( PFTN; n = 10) to minimize the confounding effects of dissimilar feed intake. All pigs received an intravenous glucose tolerance test ( GTT) and an epinephrine challenge ( EC) in period 1, and during the early and late phases of period 2. After 8 days of environmental exposure, all pigs were killed and tissue samples were collected. Despite a similar reduction in feed intake (39%), HS pigs tended to have decreased circulating nonesterified fatty acids ( NEFA; 20%) and a blunted NEFA response (71%) to the EC compared to PFTN pigs. During early exposure, HS increased basal circulating C-peptide (55%) and decreased the insulinogenic index (45%) in response to the GTT. Heat-stressed pigs had a reduced T3 to T4 ratio (56%) and hepatic 5′-deiodinase activity (58%). After 8 days, HS decreased or tended to decrease the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation in liver and skeletal muscle, and ATGL in adipose tissue. In summary, HS markedly alters both lipid and carbohydrate metabolism independently of nutrient intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ABSTRACT Animal-vehicle collisions ( AVCs) are a substantial problem in a human-dominated world, but little is known about what goes wrong, from the animal's perspective, when a collision occurs with an automobile, boat, or aircraft. Our goal is to provide insight into reactions of animals to oncoming vehicles when collisions might be imminent. Avoiding a collision requires successful vehicle detection, threat assessment, and evasive behaviour; failures can occur at any of these stages. Vehicle detection seems fairly straightforward in many cases, but depends critically on the sensory capabilities of a given species. Sensory mechanisms for detection of collisions (looming detectors) may be overwhelmed by vehicle speed. Distractions are a likely problem in vehicle detection, but have not been clearly demonstrated in any system beyond human pedestrians. Many animals likely perceive moving vehicles as non-threatening, and may generally be habituated to their presence. Slow or minimal threat assessment is thus a likely failure point in many AVCs, but this is not uniformly evident. Animals generally initiate evasive behaviour when a collision appears imminent, usually employing some aspect of native antipredator behaviour. Across taxa, animals exhibit a variety of behaviours when confronted with oncoming vehicles. Among marine mammals, right whales Eubalaena spp., manatees Trichechus spp., and dugongs Dugong dugon are fairly unresponsive to approaching vehicles, suggesting a problem in threat assessment. Others, such as dolphins Delphinidae, assess vehicle approach at distance. Little work has been conducted on the behavioural aspects of AVCs involving large mammals and automobiles, despite their prevalence. Available observations suggest that birds do not usually treat flying aircraft as a major threat, often allowing close approach before taking evasive action, as they might in response to natural predators. Inappropriate antipredator behaviour (often involving immobility) is a major source of AVCs in amphibians and terrestrial reptiles. Much behavioural work on AVCs remains to be done across a wide variety of taxa. Such work should provide broad phylogenetic generalizations regarding AVCs and insights into managing AVCs.

AB  - The impact of organic fertilizer source on the growth, fruit quality, and yield of blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus Watson) cultivars (Marion and Black Diamond) grown in a machine-harvested, organic production system for the processed market was evaluated from 2011 to 2013. The planting was established in Spring 2010 using approved practices for organic production and was certified in 2012. Plants were irrigated using a dripline under a woven polyethylene groundcover (weed mat) installed for weed management. Two sources of liquid fertilizer were evaluated: 1) a corn steep liquor and fish waste digestion blend ("corn"; 2.5N-1.1P-1.2K); and 2) a fish solubles and molasses blend ("fish"; 4N-0P-1.7K). Fertilizers were applied by fertigation through the drip system at rates of 56 kg⋅ha-1 nitrogen (N) per year in 2011-12 and 90 kg⋅ha-1 N in 2013. The impact of fertigation on drip system performance was evaluated with two maintenance options, "flushing" and "no flushing" of the driplines. Total yield differed among years, whereas fruit soluble solids concentration and firmness as well as floricane biomass at pruning showed a year x cultivar interaction. 'Black Diamond' had greater total yield and average fruit weight than 'Marion', but produced a greater proportion unmarketable fruit. There was no effect of fertilizer source on yield, fruit quality, primocane length, or primocanes/ plant in any year with the exception of fruit weight, which was greater with corn than with fish. 'Marion' had a greater floricane biomass when fertilized with fish than with corn. Soil nutrients were within the recommended range, except for boron (B), which was below recommended levels. Only soil nitrate-N was affected by fertilizer source, which was greater in 'Marion' than in 'Black Diamond' when fertilized with fish. Primocane leaf tissue nutrient concentrations were within recommended levels for all nutrients, except for calcium (Ca) and B, which were below recommended standards in both cultivars. Primocane leaf potassium (K) and zinc (Zn) concentrations were greater with fish than with corn. There was no fertilizer source or maintenance effect on emitter flow rate of the drip system in either year. However, flow rates decreased an average of 4.5% in the first year and 19% in the second year. Overall, there were no differences between the fertilizers on plant growth, yield, or fruit quality, and both fertilizers were suitable for planting establishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Luther Burbank (1849-1926) was a prolific ornamental plant breeder, who worked with 91 genera of ornamentals, from Abutilon to Zinnia, and released nearly 1000 cultivars to the industry. His innovative work included both herbaceous and woody plant materials as well as ornamental vegetables such as corn, tomatoes, and spineless cacti. His most popular ornamental release, the shasta daisy hybrids--first released in 1901, is still on the global market. This article focuses on Luther Burbank's breeding techniques with ornamental plants and how both the germplasms that he developed and his methodologies used permeate modern flower breeding. Genera with the highest number of cultivars bred and released by Burbank include Amaryllis, Hippeastrum, and Crinum followed by Lilium, Hemerocallis, Watsonia, Papaver, Gladiolus, Dahlia, and Rosa. With Lilium, he pioneered breeding the North American native lily species, particularly those from the Pacific coastal region, producing the eponymous Lilium xburbankii. Burbank's breeding enterprise was designed to be self-sustaining based on profits from selling the entire product line of a new cultivar or crop only to wholesale firms, who then held exclusives for propagation and selling, although financial hardships necessitated selling retail occasionally. Entire lots of selected seedlings were sold to the highest bidder with Burbank setting the price in his annual catalogs such as the Burbank Hybrid Lilies lot for U.S. $250,000 or some of the "very handsome, hardy ones" for U.S. $250 to U.S. $10,000 each. Other flower cultivars also commanded high prices such as seedling Giant Amaryllis that sold for U.S. $1.55/bulb in 1909. Cacti were another area of emphasis (he released more than 63 cultivars) from the spineless fruiting and forage types (Opuntia ficus-indica, O. tuna, O. vulgaris) to flowering ornamentals such as O. basilaris, Cereus chilensis, and Echinopsis mulleri. Interest in cacti during 1909-15 rivaled the Dutch Tulip mania with exorbitant fees for a single "slab" of a cultivar, speculative investments, controversy with noted cacti specialists (particularly David Griffiths), and lawsuits by The Burbank Company. Although most cultivars have been lost, Burbank's reputation as the Father of American Ornamental Breeding remains admirable from critics and devotees alike. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Energy deficit and dietary macronutrient intake are thought to independently modulate cognition, mood and sleep. To what extent manipulating the dietary ratio of protein-to-carbohydrate affects mood, cognition and sleep during short-term energy deficit is undetermined. Using a randomized, block design, 39 non-obese young adults (21 ± 1 years, BMI 25 ± 1 kg/m 2 ) consumed diets containing 0.8 g, 1.6 g or 2.4 g protein per kg body weight per day for 31 days. Carbohydrate intake was reduced to accommodate higher protein intakes while dietary fat was maintained at 30% of total energy intake. Cognitive performance, mood, self-reported sleep quality, and plasma amino acid concentrations were periodically assessed during a 10-day energy balance period and a subsequent 21 -day, 40% energy deficit period. Anger, tension and total mood disturbance increased during the initial ten days of energy deficit (P < 0.05), but by the end of the energy deficit returned to levels not different from those measured during energy balance. No effects of dietary protein-to-carbohydrate ratio on cognitive performance, mood or self-reported sleep quality were observed during energy balance or energy deficit. Thus, high-protein, low-carbohydrate, moderate-fat diets do not appear to benefit or impair cognition, mood or sleep in non-obese adults during energy deficit. These findings suggest that energy deficit may initially be psychologically difficult for non-obese individuals attempting to lose weight, but that these changes are transient. Employing strategies that alleviate decrements in mood during this initial period of adaptation may help sustain weight loss efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background:Meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) is an important cold climate pasture grass that faces pressures from climate and land use change, competitive pressure and limited genetic diversity at the species level. Naturalised populations in the Driftless Area of the American Midwest may be beneficial for the conservation and agronomic improvement of the species. Aims:We explored the population structure and genetic diversity of Driftless Area meadow fescue populations, inferring their introduction histories to evaluate their potential contribution to conservation and breeding. Methods:We assigned plants sampled from 71 grasslands throughout the Driftless Area to genetically defined subpopulations based on neutral nuclear (nSSR) markers. Inter-population hybridisation and genetic diversity were combined with chloroplast haplotype scoring to infer introduction history. Results:We identified four subpopulations with distinct geographic distributions and haplotype composition, with 28% of sampled individuals representing admixtures of two or more subpopulations. There was moderate differentiation among subpopulations and sampling sites, with nonetheless high within-site diversity. Three chloroplast haplotypes were detected, occurring in different frequencies among subpopulations. Subpopulations appeared to have been derived from separate introductions of heterogeneous genetic material. Conclusions:Driftless Area meadow fescue populations are unlikely to contribute to conservation of locally adapted European varieties, but represent a valuable resource for the development of novel varieties and for preserving species-level genetic diversity.

AB  - Apples are subjected to both abiotic and biotic stresses during the postharvest period, which lead to large economic losses worldwide. To obtain biochemical insights into apple defense response, we monitored the protein abundance changes (proteome), as well as the protein carbonyls (oxi-proteome) formed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apple in response to wounding, Penicillium expansum (host) and Penicillium digitatum (non-host) pathogens with select transcriptional studies. To examine the biological relevance of the results, we described quantitative and oxidative protein changes into the gene ontology functional categories, as well as into de KEGG pathways. We identified 26 proteins that differentially changed in abundance in response to wounding, P. expansum or P. digitatum infection. While these changes showed some similarities between the apple responses and abiotic and biotic stresses, Mal d 1.03A case, other proteins as Mal d 1.03E and EF-Tu were specifically induced in response to P. digitatum infection. Using a protein carbonyl detection method based on fluorescent Bodipy, we detected and identified 27 oxidized proteins as sensitive ROS targets. These ROS target proteins were related to metabolism processes, suggesting that this process plays a leading role in apple fruit defense response against abiotic and biotic stresses. ACC oxidase and two glutamine synthetases showed the highest protein oxidation level in response to P. digitatum infection. Documenting changes in the proteome and, specifically in oxi-proteome of apple can provide information that can be used to better understand how impaired protein functions may affect apple defense mechanisms. Possible mechanisms by which these modified proteins are involved in fruit defense response are discussed. Biological significance Mechanical damage in apple fruits is linked annually to large economic losses due to opportunistic infection by postharvest pathogens, such as P. expansum . Despite the current use of chemical fungicides and the implementation of new alternative strategies, blue mold remains a critical disease of these stored fruits worldwide. Actual trends are focused on acquiring the knowledge of the host–pathogen interactions because it may help on finding new rational and environmentally friendly control alternatives. Despite the economic importance of some postharvest diseases, proteomics has only been applied in a few cases to study fruit–pathogen interactions. On the one hand, this is the first study that monitored changes at the proteome and oxi-proteome level in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apple fruits in response to P. expansum (compatible) and P. digitatum (non-host) pathogens. On the other hand, the main technological innovation of the reported research is the detection and quantification of oxidized (carbonylated) proteins to assess protein oxidative damage, avoiding the immunoblotting technique. The importance of the biological process investigated lies in the different mechanisms induced in fruit in response to P. expansum and P. digitatum . Results revealed that fruit recognizes and reacts to P. expansum in a similar manner to wounding, while its response to P. digitatum exhibits few differences in the protein profile. Documenting changes in the proteome and, specifically in oxi-proteome of apple can provide information that can be used to better understand how impaired protein functions may affect apple defense mechanisms. It also provides new biomarkers for oxidative damage mainly caused by the oxidative response occurring in fruit tissue in response to a host and a non-host pathogen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Direct-fired fuel cell gas turbine hybrid power system responses to open-loop transients were evaluated using a hardware-based simulation of an integrated solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC/GT) hybrid system, implemented through the Hybrid Performance (Hyper) facility at the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). A disturbance in the cathode inlet air mass flow was performed by manipulating a hot-air bypass valve implemented in the hardware component. Two tests were performed; the fuel cell stack subsystem numerical simulation model was both decoupled and fully coupled with the gas turbine hardware component. The dynamic responses of the entire SOFC/GT hybrid system were studied in this paper. The reduction of cathode airflow resulted in a sharp decrease and partial recovery of the fuel cell thermal effluent in 10 s. In contrast, the turbine rotational speed did not exhibit a similar trend. The transfer functions of several important variables in the fuel cell stack subsystem and gas turbine subsystem were developed to be used in the future control method development. The importance of the cathode airflow regulation was quantified through transfer functions. The management of cathode airflow was also suggested to be a potential strategy to increase the life of fuel cells by reducing the thermal impact of operational transients on the fuel cell subsystem.

AB  - Although the ocular lens shares many features with other tissues, it is unique in that it retains its cells throughout life, making it ideal for studies of differentiation/development. Precipitation of proteins results in lens opacification, or cataract, the major blinding disease. Lysines on ubiquitin (Ub) determine fates of Ub-protein substrates. Information regarding ubiquitin proteasome systems (UPSs), specifically of K6 in ubiquitin, is undeveloped. We expressed in the lens a mutant Ub containing a K6W substitution (K6W-Ub). Protein profiles of lenses that express wild-type ubiquitin (WT-Ub) or K6W-Ub differ by only ~2%. Despite these quantitatively minor differences, in K6W-Ub lenses and multiple model systems we observed a fourfold Ca2+ elevation and hyperactivation of calpain in the core of the lens, as well as calpain-associated fragmentation of critical lens proteins including Filensin, Fodrin, Vimentin, β-Crystallin, Caprin family member 2, and tudor domain containing 7. Truncations can be cataractogenic. Additionally, we observed accumulation of gap junction Connexin43, and diminished Connexin46 levels in vivo and in vitro. These findings suggest that mutation of Ub K6 alters UPS function, perturbs gap junction function, resulting in Ca2+ elevation, hyperactivation of calpain, and associated cleavage of substrates, culminating in developmental defects and a cataractous lens. The data show previously unidentified connections between UPS and calpain-based degradative systems and advance our understanding of roles for Ub K6 in eye development. They also inform about new approaches to delay cataract and other protein precipitation diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The novel poxvirus described here can infect humans and may be associated with equine contact. It causes an infection that appears to mimic the symptoms and clinical course typical of nondisseminated, lesion-associated poxvirus infections such as those caused by parapoxviruses.Background. Some human poxvirus infections can be acquired through zoonotic transmission. We report a previously unknown poxvirus infection in 2 patients, 1 of whom was immunocompromised; both patients had known equine contact.Methods. The patients were interviewed and clinical information was abstracted from the patients’ medical files. Biopsies of the skin lesions were collected from both patients for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Oral and skin swabs were collected from animals with frequent contact with the patients, and environmental sampling including rodent trapping was performed on the farm where the immunosuppressed patient was employed. “Pan-pox and high Guanine-cytosine” polymerase chain reaction assays were performed on patient, animal, and environmental isolates. Amplicon sequences of the viral DNA were used for agent identification and phylogenetic analysis.Results. Specimens from both human cases revealed a novel poxvirus. The agent shares 88% similarity to viruses in the Parapoxvirus genus and 78% to those in the Molluscipoxvirus genus but is sufficiently divergent to resist classification as either. All animal and environmental specimens were negative for poxvirus and both patients had complete resolution of lesions.Conclusions. This report serves as a reminder that poxviruses should be considered in cutaneous human infections, especially in individuals with known barnyard exposures. The clinical course of the patients was similar to that of parapoxvirus infections, and the source of this virus is currently unknown but is presumed to be zoonotic. This report also demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosis of human infections caused by previously unknown pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an organosulfur compound in cruciferous vegetables, is a natural antimicrobial and potential chemopreventive agent. However, the instability of AITC in aqueous systems restrains its applications. In this study, oil-in-water AITC nanoemulsion was prepared by the emulsion inversion point (EIP) method, aiming at improving the aqueous stability of AITC. The optimal hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB op ) value of surfactants containing Tween 80 and Span 80 was established at 11.0–13.0, yielding nanodroplets with diameters of 137–215 nm. The mechanism of droplet formation within the HLP op region was discussed in terms of the possible structure of adsorbed surfactant layers at the oil–water interface in multiple emulsion droplets. In a 6.5-month storage test, the droplet sizes and the count rates (intensity of scattered light) of nanoemulsions decreased only slightly by 4–13% (depending on surfactant-to-oil ratio), even in highly diluted status, indicating the desirable stability of the nanoemulsions. Moreover, the nanoemulsion demonstrated superior protection against AITC degradation (78% remaining after 60 d at 30 °C), compared with protein nanoparticles as well as non-encapsulated aqueous dispersion. This work shows for the first time that AITC can be formulated into nanoemulsions and thus obtains satisfactory aqueous solubility and chemical stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The forebrain is the seat of higher-order brain functions, and many human neuropsychiatric disorders are due to genetic defects affecting forebrain development, making it imperative to understand the underlying genetic circuitry. Recent progress now makes it possible to begin fully elucidating the genomic regulatory mechanisms that control forebrain gene expression. Herein, we discuss the current knowledge of how transcription factors drive gene expression programs through their interactions with cis- acting genomic elements, such as enhancers; how analyses of chromatin and DNA modifications provide insights into gene expression states; and how these approaches yield insights into the evolution of the human brain.

AB  - Carotenoids are mostly C 40 terpenoids, a class of hydrocarbons that participate in various biological processes in plants, such as photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, photoprotection, and development. Carotenoids also serve as precursors for two plant hormones and a diverse set of apocarotenoids. They are colorants and critical components of the human diet as antioxidants and provitamin A. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the genes and enzymes involved in carotenoid metabolism and describe recent progress in understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying carotenoid accumulation. The importance of the specific location of carotenoid enzyme metabolons and plastid types as well as of carotenoid-derived signals is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Animal structures occasionally attain extreme proportions, eclipsing in size the surrounding body parts. We review insect examples of exaggerated traits, such as the mandibles of stag beetles (Lucanidae), the claspers of praying mantids (Mantidae), the elongated hindlimbs of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera), and the giant heads of soldier ants (Formicidae) and termites (Isoptera). Developmentally, disproportionate growth can arise through trait-specific modifications to the activity of at least four pathways: the sex determination pathway, the appendage patterning pathway, the insulin/IGF signaling pathway, and the juvenile hormone/ecdysteroid pathway. Although most exaggerated traits have not been studied mechanistically, it is already apparent that distinct developmental mechanisms underlie the evolution of the different types of exaggerated traits. We suggest this reflects the nature of selection in each instance, revealing an exciting link between mechanism, form, and function. We use this information to make explicit predictions for the types of regulatory pathways likely to underlie each type of exaggerated trait. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Equine piroplasmosis is a disease of Equidae, including horses, donkeys, mules, and zebras, caused by either of two protozoan parasites, Theileria equi or Babesia caballi. These parasites are biologically transmitted between hosts via tick vectors, and although they have inherent differences they are categorized together because they cause similar pathology and have similar morphologies, life cycles, and vector relationships. To complete their life cycle, these parasites must undergo a complex series of developmental events, including sexual-stage development in their tick vectors. Consequently, ticks are the definitive hosts as well as vectors for these parasites, and the vector relationship is restricted to a few competent tick species. Because the vector relationship is critical to the epidemiology of these parasites, we highlight current knowledge of the vector ecology of these tick-borne equine pathogens, emphasizing tick transmissibility and potential control strategies to prevent their spread.

AB  - The present work is aiming at the elucidation of the tensile behaviour and fracture performance of moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens Mazei ex H. de Lebaie) by means of digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) and microscopic techniques. Results indicated that fibres play a major role in longitudinal tension and impeding crack radial propagation. Hybrid I-II failure mode was observed, i.e., crack opening (in tensile stress) and shear sliding (in shear stress). According to microscopic fracture characteristics, fibres extraction and stretching, filament formation in parenchyma with fibres bridging, interface debonding and the helix fracture of fibres happened in tension, which created more interfaces and dissipated more energy. The graded composite structure of bamboo provides intrinsic and extrinsic toughening mechanisms which contribute to improved toughness and physical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A method for extending charge transfer to bond-order potentials, known as the bond-order potential/split-charge equilibration (BOP/SQE) method [P. T. Mikulski, M. T. Knippenberg, and J. A. Harrison, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 241105 (2009)], is integrated into a new bond-order potential for interactions between oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. This reactive potential utilizes the formalism of the adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond-order potential [S. J. Stuart, A. B. Tutein, and J. A. Harrison, J. Chem. Phys. 112, 6472 (2000)] with additional terms for oxygen and charge interactions. This implementation of the reactive potential is able to model chemical reactions where partial charges change in gas- and condensed-phase systems containing oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. The BOP/SQE method prevents the unrestricted growth of charges, often observed in charge equilibration methods, without adding significant computational time, because it makes use of a quantity which is calculated as part of the underlying covalent portion of the potential, namely, the bond order. The implementation of this method with the qAIREBO potential is designed to provide a tool that can be used to model dynamics in a wide range of systems without significant computational cost. To demonstrate the usefulness and flexibility of this potential, heats of formation for isolated molecules, radial distribution functions of liquids, and energies of oxygenated diamond surfaces are calculated.

AB  - Using genetic algorithm with first-principle calculations, we searched for low-energy crystal structures of Fe1-xCox alloys. We found that Fe1-xCox alloys are highly configurationally degenerate with many additional off-stoichiometric stable structures to the well-known B2 structure. The average magnetic moment of Fe atom increases with concentration of Co in the alloy, while that of Co atom is almost constant, which are consistent with experiments and earlier studies. The magnetic moment of Fe atom is strongly dependent on the number of Co nearest neighbor and it increases with this number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of head model complexity upon the strength of field in different brain regions for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been investigated. Experimental measurements were used to verify the validity of magnetic field calculations and induced electric field calculations for three 3D human head models of varying complexity. Results show the inability for simplified head models to accurately determine the site of high fields that lead to neuronal stimulation and highlight the necessity for realistic head modeling for TMS applications.

AB  - Under physiological conditions the gut-associated lymphoid tissues not only prevent the induction of a local inflammatory immune response, but also induce systemic tolerance to fed antigens. A notable exception is coeliac disease, where genetically susceptible individuals expressing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules develop inflammatory T-cell and antibody responses against dietary gluten, a protein present in wheat. The mechanisms underlying this dysregulated mucosal immune response to a soluble antigen have not been identified. Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A, has been shown to have a critical role in the induction of intestinal regulatory responses. Here we find in mice that in conjunction with IL-15, a cytokine greatly upregulated in the gut of coeliac disease patients, retinoic acid rapidly activates dendritic cells to induce JNK (also known as MAPK8) phosphorylation and release the proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p70 and IL-23. As a result, in a stressed intestinal environment, retinoic acid acted as an adjuvant that promoted rather than prevented inflammatory cellular and humoral responses to fed antigen. Altogether, these findings reveal an unexpected role for retinoic acid and IL-15 in the abrogation of tolerance to dietary antigens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - merican ginseng ( Panax quinquefolius) is one of the most commonly used herbal medicines in the world. Discriminating between P. quinquefolius grown in different countries is difficult using traditional quantitation methods. In this study, a liquid chromatographic mass spectrometry fingerprint combined with chemometric analysis was established to discriminate between American ginseng grown in the USA and China. Fifteen American ginseng samples grown in Wisconsin and 25 samples grown in China were used. The chromatographic fingerprints, representing the chemical compositions of the samples, made it possible to distinguish samples from the two locations. In addition, it was found that some ginsenosides varied widely from P. quinquefolius cultivated in these two countries. P. quinquefolius grown in the USA is higher in ginsenoside R, ginsenoside R, quinquenoside III/pseudo-ginsenoside RC, malonyl ginsenoside R, and ginsenoside R, but lower in ginsenoside R compared with P. quinquefolius grown in China. These ginsenosides may be responsible for the class separation seen using fingerprinting and chemometric approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genome evolution studies for the phylum Nematoda have been limited by focusing on comparisons involving Caenorhabditis elegans. We report a draft genome sequence of Trichinella spiralis, a food-borne zoonotic parasite, which is the most common cause of human trichinellosis. This parasitic nematode is an extant member of a clade that diverged early in the evolution of the phylum, enabling identification of archetypical genes and molecular signatures exclusive to nematodes. We sequenced the 64-Mb nuclear genome, which is estimated to contain 15,808 protein-coding genes, at ∼35-fold coverage using whole-genome shotgun and hierarchal map-assisted sequencing. Comparative genome analyses support intrachromosomal rearrangements across the phylum, disproportionate numbers of protein family deaths over births in parasitic compared to a non-parasitic nematode and a preponderance of gene-loss and -gain events in nematodes relative to Drosophila melanogaster. This genome sequence and the identified pan-phylum characteristics will contribute to genome evolution studies of Nematoda as well as strategies to combat global parasites of humans, food animals and crops.

AB  - To develop an antimicrobial bottle coating effective at inhibiting the growth of Salmonella in liquid egg albumen (egg white) and reduce the risk of human Salmonellosis. Four-ounce glass jars were coated with a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) polymer and antimicrobial compounds containing 100-500 μl allyl isothiocyanate (AIT), 250 mg nisin, 250 mg zinc oxide nanoparticles per jar or their combinations. The coated jars contained 100 ml of liquid egg white (LEW) inoculated with a three-strain Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica cocktail at populations of 10 or 10 CFU ml and stored at 10°C for 28 days. The PLA coating with 500 μl AIT completely inactivated 3 and 7 log CFU ml of Salmonella after 7 and 21 days of storage, respectively. The PLA coating with 200 μl AIT in combination with 250 mg nisin reduced Salmonella populations to an undetectable level (<10 CFU ml) after 21 days of storage. PLA coatings containing AIT alone or in combination with nisin effectively inactivated salmonellae in LEW. This study demonstrated the commercial potential of applying the antimicrobial bottle coating method to liquid eggs and possibly other fluid food products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In human-populated landscapes, dogs (Canis familiaris) are often the most abundant terrestrial carnivore. However, dogs can significantly disrupt or modify intact ecosystems well beyond the areas occupied by people. Few studies have directly quantified the environmental or economic effects of free-roaming and feral dogs. Here, we review wildlife-dog interactions and provide a case study that focuses on interactions documented from our research in Mongolia to underscore the need for studies designed to best determine how dogs affect native wildlife and especially imperiled populations. We suggest additional research, public awareness campaigns, and the exclusion of dogs from critical wildlife habitat. The application of scientific findings to management and enhanced public outreach programs will not only facilitate recovery and maintenance of wildlife populations globally but also has the potential to reduce economic losses.

AB  - In recent years, RNA interference (RNAi) has been validated as a viable approach for functional genetic studies in non-model organisms. In this report we demonstrate the efficacy of RNAi in the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Miridae: Hemiptera). A L. lineolaris inhibitor of apoptosis gene ( LlIAP) has been identified and cloned. The translated sequence encodes a 381 amino acid protein similar to other insect IAPs and contains two conserved baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis protein repeat (BIR) domains. Microinjection of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) corresponding to two disparate portions of the gene resulted in decreased LlIAP mRNA quantities relative to controls. Both nymphs and adult specimens injected with IAP dsRNA exhibited significantly reduced lifespan compared with those injected with non-insect dsRNA (eGFP). Thus, RNAi-mediated knockdown of LlIAP expression has been correlated with a lethal phenotype in adults and nymphs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nested association mapping (NAM) offers power to resolve complex, quantitative traits to their causal loci. The maize NAM population, consisting of 5,000 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from 25 families representing the global diversity of maize, was evaluated for resistance to southern leaf blight (SLB) disease. Joint-linkage analysis identified 32 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with predominantly small, additive effects on SLB resistance. Genome-wide association tests of maize HapMap SNPs were conducted by imputing founder SNP genotypes onto the NAM RILs. SNPs both within and outside of QTL intervals were associated with variation for SLB resistance. Many of these SNPs were within or near sequences homologous to genes previously shown to be involved in plant disease resistance. Limited linkage disequilibrium was observed around some SNPs associated with SLB resistance, indicating that the maize NAM population enables high-resolution mapping of some genome regions.

AB  - US maize yield has increased eight-fold in the past 80 years, with half of the gain attributed to selection by breeders. During this time, changes in maize leaf angle and size have altered plant architecture, allowing more efficient light capture as planting density has increased. Through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the maize nested association mapping panel, we determined the genetic basis of important leaf architecture traits and identified some of the key genes. Overall, we demonstrate that the genetic architecture of the leaf traits is dominated by small effects, with little epistasis, environmental interaction or pleiotropy. In particular, GWAS results show that variations at the liguleless genes have contributed to more upright leaves. These results demonstrate that the use of GWAS with specially designed mapping populations is effective in uncovering the basis of key agronomic traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite considerable study, it remains uncertain what environmental factors contribute to red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) foliar winter injury and how much this injury influences tree C stores. We used a long-term record of winter injury in a plantation in New Hampshire and conducted stepwise linear regression analyses with local weather and regional pollution data to determine which parameters helped account for observed injury. Two types of weather phenomena were consistently associated with elevated injury: (i) measures of low-temperature stress that incite injury and (ii) factors that reduced the length of the growing season and predisposed trees to injury. At this plantation, there was a significant linear relationship between winter injury and growth reductions for 2 years after a severe winter injury event. Analysis using data from three New England states indicated that plantation data reflected a regional response. Using regional data, we estimated a reduction of 394 000 metric tons of C sequestered in living red spruce stems ≥20 cm in diameter growing in New York and northern New England during the 2 years following a severe winter injury event. This is a conservative estimate of reduced C sequestration because injury-induced mortality and other factors were not evaluated. Malgré le nombre considérable d'études, on ne sait toujours pas avec certitude quels facteurs environnementaux contribuent aux dommages foliaires qui surviennent durant l'hiver chez l'épinette rouge (Picea rubens Sarg.), ni à quel point ces dommages influencent les réservoirs de C dans l'arbre. Nous avons utilisé des relevés à long terme des dommages qui sont survenus durant l'hiver dans une plantation du New Hampshire et nous avons effectué des analyses de régression linéaire pas à pas avec les données météorologiques locales et les données régionales de pollution pour déterminer quels paramètres permettaient d'expliquer les dommages observés. Deux types de phénomène météorologique étaient invariablement associés à des dommages sévères : (i) des mesures de stress dûà de basses températures et (ii) des facteurs qui réduisent la durée de la saison de croissance et prédisposent les arbres aux dommages. Dans cette plantation, il y avait une relation linéaire significative entre les dommages survenus pendant l'hiver et les réductions de croissance pendant les deux années suivant un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. L'analyse des données provenant de trois tats de la Nouvelle-Angleterre indiquent que les données de la plantation reflètent une réponse régionale. À l'aide de données régionales, nous avons estimé que la séquestration de C dans les tiges d'épinette rouge ≥20 cm de diamètre était réduite de 394 000 tonnes métriques dans l'État de New York et le nord de la Nouvelle-Angleterre au cours des années qui ont suivi un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. Il s'agit d'une estimation conservatrice de la réduction de la séquestration de C parce que la mortalité causée par les dommages dus au froid et les autres facteurs n'a pas été évaluée.

AB  - Escherichia coli have been targeted for studying antimicrobial resistance in companion animals because of opportunistic infections and as a surrogate for resistance patterns in zoonotic organisms. The aim of our study is to examine antimicrobial resistance in E. coli isolated from various anatomical sites on healthy dogs and cats and identify genetic relatedness. From May to August, 2007, healthy companion animals (155 dogs and 121 cats) from three veterinary clinics in the Athens, GA, USA, were sampled. Escherichia coli was isolated from swabs of nasal, oral, rectal, abdomen and hindquarter areas. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing against 16 antimicrobials was performed using broth microdilution with the Sensititre™ system. Clonal types were determined by a standardized pulsed-field gel electrophoresis protocol. Although rectal swabs yielded the most E. coli (165/317; 52%) from dogs and cats, the organism was distributed evenly among the other body sites sampled. Escherichia coli isolates from both dogs and cats exhibited resistance to all antimicrobials tested with the exception of amikacin, cephalothin and kanamycin. Resistance to ampicillin was the most prevalent resistance phenotype detected (dogs, 33/199; 17%; and cats, 27/118; 23%). Among the resistant isolates, 21 resistance patterns were observed, where 18 patterns represented multidrug resistance (MDR; resistance ≥2 antimicrobial classes). Also among the resistant isolates, 33 unique clonal types were detected, where each clonal type contained isolates from various sampling sites. Similar resistance phenotypes were exhibited among clonal types, and three clonal types were from both dogs and cats. Healthy companion animals can harbour antimicrobial-resistant E. coli on body sites that routinely come in contact with human handlers. This study is the first report that demonstrates a diverse antimicrobial-resistant E. coli population distributed over various sites of a companion animal's body, thereby suggesting potential transfer of resistant microflora to human hosts during contact.

AB  - Many serious ecosystem consequences of climate change will take decades or even centuries to emerge. Long-term ecological responses to global change are strongly regulated by slow processes, such as changes in species composition, carbon dynamics in soil and by long-lived plants, and accumulation of nutrient capitals. Understanding and predicting these processes require experiments on decadal time scales. But decadal experiments by themselves may not be adequate because many of the slow processes have characteristic time scales much longer than experiments can be maintained. This article promotes a coordinated approach that combines long-term, large-scale global change experiments with process studies and modeling. Long-term global change manipulative experiments, especially in high-priority ecosystems such as tropical forests and high-latitude regions, are essential to maximize information gain concerning future states of the earth system. The long-term experiments should be conducted in tandem with complementary process studies, such as those using model ecosystems, species replacements, laboratory incubations, isotope tracers, and greenhouse facilities. Models are essential to assimilate data from long-term experiments and process studies together with information from long-term observations, surveys, and space-for-time studies along environmental and biological gradients. Future research programs with coordinated long-term experiments, process studies, and modeling have the potential to be the most effective strategy to gain the best information on long-term ecosystem dynamics in response to global change.

AB  - Surface modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membrane surfaces using UV/ozone pretreatment with subsequent grafting and interfacial polymerization on membrane surface was investigated in order to improve the resistance of membrane surface to protein adsorption. The surface modifications were evaluated in terms of hydrophilicity, chemical composition of the surface and static protein adsorption. In both methods, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and chitosan were chosen as hydrophilic polymers to chemically modify the commercial virgin PES membrane to render it more hydrophilic as these materials have excellent hydrophilic property. Modified PES membranes were characterized by contact angle and XPS. Contact angles of modified PES membranes were reduced by 19 to 58% of that of the virgin PES membrane. PES membrane modified with PEG shows higher wettability than other hydrophilic materials with the highest contact angle reduction shown for UV/ozone pretreated, PEG grafted PES membrane surface. In general, XPS spectra supported that the PES membranes were successfully modified by both grafting with UV/ozone pretreatment and interfacial polymerization methods. The results of the static protein adsorption experiments showed all surface modifications led to reduction in protein adsorption on PES membranes; the highest protein adsorption reduction occurred with membrane modified by UV/ozone pretreatment followed by PES grafting, which corresponded to the highest contact angle reduction. However, there seems to be no clear correlation between contact angle reduction and reduction in protein adsorption in the case that involved chitosan. Nevertheless, membranes modified with chitosan do show higher reduction in protein adsorption than membranes modified with other materials under the same conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis share >99% genetic identity and induce similar host responses and disease profiles upon infection. There is a rich history of codiscovery in the development of control measures applicable to both human and bovine tuberculosis (TB) including skin-testing procedures, M. bovis BCG vaccination, and interferon-γ release assays. The calf TB infection model offers several opportunities to further our understanding of TB immunopathogenesis. Recent observations include correlation of central memory immune responses with TB vaccine efficacy, association of SIRPα+ cells in ESAT-6:CFP10- elicited multinucleate giant cell formation, early γδ T cell responses to TB, antimycobacterial activity of memory CD4+ T cells via granulysin production, association of specific antibody with antigen burden, and suppression of innate immune gene expression in infected animals. Partnerships teaming researchers with veterinary and medical perspectives will continue to provide mutual benefit to TB research in man and animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that act as regulators of gene expression in eukaryotes modulating a large diversity of biological processes. The discovery of miRNAs has provided new opportunities to understand the biology of a number of species. The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, causes significant economic losses in cattle production worldwide and this drives us to further understand their biology so that effective control measures can be developed. To be able to provide new insights into the biology of cattle ticks and to expand the repertoire of tick miRNAs we utilized Illumina technology to sequence the small RNA transcriptomes derived from various life stages and selected organs of R. microplus. Results: To discover and profile cattle tick miRNAs we employed two complementary approaches, one aiming to find evolutionary conserved miRNAs and another focused on the discovery of novel cattle-tick specific miRNAs. We found 51 evolutionary conserved R. microplus miRNA loci, with 36 of these previously found in the tick Ixodes scapularis. The majority of the R. microplus miRNAs are perfectly conserved throughout evolution with 11, 5 and 15 of these conserved since the Nephrozoan (640 MYA), Protostomian (620MYA) and Arthropoda (540 MYA) ancestor, respectively. We then employed a de novo computational screening for novel tick miRNAs using the draft genome of I. scapularis and genomic contigs of R. microplus as templates. This identified 36 novel R. microplus miRNA loci of which 12 were conserved in I. scapularis. Overall we found 87 R. microplus miRNA loci, of these 15 showed the expression of both miRNA and miRNA* sequences. R. microplus miRNAs showed a variety of expression profiles, with the evolutionary-conserved miRNAs mainly expressed in all life stages at various levels, while the expression of novel tick-specific miRNAs was mostly limited to particular life stages and/or tick organs. Conclusions: Anciently acquired miRNAs in the R. microplus lineage not only tend to accumulate the least amount of nucleotide substitutions as compared to those recently acquired miRNAs, but also show ubiquitous expression profiles through out tick life stages and organs contrasting with the restricted expression profiles of novel tick-specific miRNAs.

AB  - Background: Seed germination is a complex multi-stage developmental process, and mainly accomplished through concerted activities of many gene products and biological pathways that are often subjected to strict developmental regulation. Gibberellins (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are two key phytohormones regulating seed germination and seedling growth. However, transcriptional regulatory networks underlying seed germination and its associated biological pathways are largely unknown. Results: The studies examined transcriptomes of barley representing six distinct and well characterized germination stages and revealed that the transcriptional regulatory program underlying barley germination was composed of early, late, and post-germination phases. Each phase was accompanied with transcriptional upregulation of distinct biological pathways. Cell wall synthesis and regulatory components including transcription factors, signaling and post-translational modification components were specifically and transiently up-regulated in early germination phase while histone families and many metabolic pathways were up-regulated in late germination phase. Photosynthesis and seed reserve mobilization pathways were up-regulated in post-germination phase. However, stress related pathways and seed storage proteins were suppressed through the entire course of germination. A set of genes were transiently up-regulated within three hours of imbibition, and might play roles in initiating biological pathways involved in seed germination. However, highly abundant transcripts in dry barley and Arabidopsis seeds were significantly conserved. Comparison with transcriptomes of barley aleurone in response to GA and ABA identified three sets of germination responsive genes that were regulated coordinately by GA, antagonistically by ABA, and coordinately by GA but antagonistically by ABA. Major CHO metabolism, cell wall degradation and protein degradation pathways were up-regulated by both GA and seed germination. Those genes and metabolic pathways are likely to be important parts of transcriptional regulatory networks underlying GA and ABA regulation of seed germination and seedling growth. Conclusions: The studies developed a model depicting transcriptional regulatory programs underlying barley germination and GA and ABA regulation of germination at gene, pathway and systems levels, and established a standard transcriptome reference for further integration with various -omics and biological data to illustrate biological networks underlying seed germination. The studies also generated a great amount of systems biological evidence for previously proposed hypotheses, and developed a number of new hypotheses on transcriptional regulation of seed germination for further experimental validation.

AB  - The transition of fleshy fruit maturation to ripening is regulated by exogenous and endogenous signals that coordinate the transition of the fruit to a final state of attractiveness to seed dispersing organisms. Tomato is a model for biology and genetics regulating specific ripening pathways including ethylene, carotenoids and cell wall metabolism in addition to upstream signaling and transcriptional regulators. Ripening-associated transcription factors described to date including the RIN-MADS, CLEAR NON-RIPENING, TAGL1 and LeHB-1 genes all encode positive regulators of ripening phenomena. Here we describe an APETALA2 transcription factor ( SlAP2a) identified through transcriptional profiling of fruit maturation that is induced during, and which negatively regulates, tomato fruit ripening. RNAi repression of SlAP2a results in fruits that over-produce ethylene, ripen early and modify carotenoid accumulation profiles by altering carotenoid pathway flux. These results suggest that SlAP2a functions during normal tomato fruit ripening as a modulator of ripening activity and acts to balance the activities of positive ripening regulators.

AB  - Nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens affect a range of ecosystems, industries, and property owners in the United States. Evaluating temporal patterns in the accumulation of these nonindigenous forest pests can inform regulatory and policy decisions. We compiled a comprehensive species list to assess the accumulation rates of nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens established in the United States. More than 450 nonindigenous insects and at least 16 pathogens have colonized forest and urban trees since European settlement. Approximately 2.5 established nonindigenous forest insects per year were detected in the United States between 1860 and 2006. At least 14% of these insects and all 16 pathogens have caused notable damage to trees. Although sap feeders and foliage feeders dominated the comprehensive list, phloem- and wood-boring insects and foliage feeders were often more damaging than expected. Detections of insects that feed on phloem or wood have increased markedly in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effects of copper sprays on annual and polyetic progress of citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, in the presence of the Asian citrus leafminer ( Phyllocnistis citrella), were evaluated in a study conducted in a commercial orchard in northwest Paraná state, Brazil, where citrus canker is endemic. Nonlinear monomolecular, logistic and Gompertz models were fitted to monthly disease incidence data (proportion of leaves with symptoms) for each treatment for three seasons. The logistic model provided the best estimate of disease progress for all years and treatments evaluated and logistic parameter estimates were used to describe polyetic disease dynamics. Although citrus canker incidence increased during each of the seasons studied, it decreased over the whole study period, more so in copper-treated trees than in water-sprayed controls. Copper treatment reduced disease incidence compared with controls in every year, especially 2004-2005, when incidence was ca. 10-fold higher in controls than in treated plots (estimated asymptote values 0·82 and 0·07, respectively). Copper treatment also reduced estimated initial disease incidence and epidemic growth rates every year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The stems and roots of the semiarid shrub guayule, Parthenium argentatum, contain a significant amount of natural rubber. Rubber accumulates in guayule when plants are vegetatively and reproductively dormant, complicating the relationship between growth/reproduction and product synthesis. To evaluate the factors regulating the partitioning of carbon to rubber, carbon assimilation and partitioning were measured in guayule plants that were grown under simulated summer- and winter-like conditions and under winter-like conditions with CO enrichment. These conditions were used to induce vegetatively active and dormant states and to increase the source strength of vegetatively dormant plants, respectively. Rates of CO assimilation, measured under growth temperatures and CO, were similar for plants grown under summer- and winter-like conditions, but were higher with elevated CO. After 5 months, plants grown under summer-like conditions had the greatest aboveground biomass, but the lowest levels of non-structural carbohydrates and rubber. In contrast, the amount of resin in the stems was similar under all growth conditions. Emission of biogenic volatile compounds was more than three-fold higher in plants grown under summer- compared with winter-like conditions. Taken together, the results show that guayule plants maintain a high rate of photosynthesis and accumulate non-structural carbohydrates and rubber in the vegetatively dormant state, but emit volatile compounds at a lower rate when compared with more vegetatively active plants. Enrichment with CO in the vegetatively dormant state increased carbohydrate content but not the amount of rubber, suggesting that partitioning of assimilate to rubber is limited by sink strength in guayule.

AB  - The effect of CD on human health is an emerging issue. Many records link CD with diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, cognitive impairment and obesity, all of them conducive to premature aging. The amount of sleep has declined by 1.5 h over the past century, accompanied by an important increase in obesity. Shift work, sleep deprivation and exposure to bright light at night increase the prevalence of adiposity. Animal models have shown that mice with Clock gene disruption are prone to developing obesity and MetS. This review summarizes the latest developments with regard to chronobiology and obesity, considering (1) how molecular clocks coordinate metabolism and the specific role of the adipocyte; (2) CD and its causes and pathological consequences; (3) the epidemiological evidence of obesity as a chronobiological illness; and (4) theories of circadian disruption and obesity. Energy intake and expenditure, relevance of sleep, fat intake from a circadian perspective and psychological and genetic aspects of obesity are examined. Finally, ideas about the use of chronobiology in the treatment of obesity are discussed. Such knowledge has the potential to become a valuable tool in the understanding of the relationship between the chronobiology, etiology and pathophysiology of obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper describes an efficient and effective analytical scheme to first screen for 300 pesticides in fruit and vegetables samples using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a commercially enhanced product ion method. Then presumed positive extracts are analysed using a quantitative and confirmatory LC-MS/MS method optimized for 55 pesticides. A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method with acetate buffering (AOAC Official Method 2007.01) was used for sample preparation, which has been previously shown to yield high-quality results for hundreds of pesticide residues in foods. The advantages and disadvantages of both the qualitative screening and quantitative/confirmatory methods and their combination are critically discussed. No false-negatives for the 55 pesticides occurred above 10 ng g-1 for extracts analysed by both LC-MS/MS methods, and the no false-positives were encountered from the screening analysis (after analyst review) because all presumptive identifications were confirmed in the second analysis. The monitoring scheme was applied during a one-year period on 200 fruit and vegetable samples from Hungarian markets. No pesticide residues were found in half the samples, and twelve violations of European maximum residue limits were detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Oxytetracycline (2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a major member of the tetracycline antibiotics family of which are widely administered to animals in concentrated animal feeding operations for purposes of therapeutical treatment and health protection. With the disposal of animal manure as fertilizer into agricultural land, tetracyclines enter the environment. However, tetracyclines chelate with multivalent cations and proteins, resulting in low extraction efficiencies from animal manure for tetracycline residue analysis. In this study an efficient extraction method for oxytetracycline from steer manure using methanol/water solution amended with chelating organic acid was developed for the analysis of high performance liquid chromatography. The effect of species and amount of amendment acids, shaking time, methanol/water ratio, manure weight, and repeated times of extraction was investigated. It was optimized to amend 2.5 g citric acid and 1.1 g oxalic acid with 10.0 g manure sample in a 50-ml centrifuge tube and extract with 15 ml methanol/water (9:1 in volume) by vigorously shaking for 30 min in a reciprocating shaker. After centrifugation at 11,000 rpm, supernatant is collected. Sample was extracted for a total of 3 times. The developed extraction method was further applied to extract oxytetracycline from fresh and aged cow manure, swine and poultry manure, and soil. Satisfactory recoveries ranging from (84.1 ± 2.4) % to (102.0 ± 3.1) % were obtained, demonstrating that the optimized extraction method is robust for oxytetracycline from different manure sample matrixes.

AB  - For any analytical system the population mean ( μ) number of entities (e.g., cells or molecules) per tested volume, surface area, or mass also defines the population standard deviation $$ (\sigma = \sqrt {\mu } ) $$. For a preponderance of analytical methods, σ is very small relative to μ due to their large limit of detection (>10 per volume). However, in theory at least, DNA-based detection methods ( real-time, quantitative or qPCR) can detect ≈ 1 DNA molecule per tested volume (i.e., μ ≈ 1) whereupon errors of random sampling can cause sample means ( $$ \overline x $$) to substantially deviate from μ if the number of samplings ( n), or “technical replicates”, per observation is too small. In this work the behaviors of two measures of sampling error (each replicated fivefold) are examined under the influence of n. For all data ( μ = 1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 20) a large sample of individual analytical counts ( x) were created and randomly assigned into N integral-valued sub-samples each containing between 2 and 50 repeats ( n) whereupon N ×  n = 322 to 361. From these data the average μ-normalized deviation of σ from each sub-sample’s standard deviation estimate $$\left( {s_j ;\;j = 1\;{\hbox{to}}\;N;\;N = 7\;\left[ {n = 50} \right]\;{\hbox{to}}\;180\;\left[ {n = 2} \right]} \right)$$ was calculated ( Δ). Alternatively, the average μ-normalized deviation of μ from each sub-sample’s mean estimate ( $$ {\overline x_{\rm{j}}} $$) was also evaluated ( Δ′). It was found that both of these empirical measures of sampling error were proportional to $$ \sqrt[{ - 2}]{{n \cdot \mu }} $$. Derivative (∂/∂ n · Δ or Δ′) analyses of our results indicate that a large number of samplings $$ (n \approx {33}\pm {3}.{1}) $$ are requisite to achieve a nominal sampling error for samples with a μ ≈ 1. This result argues that pathogen detection is most economically performed, even using highly sensitive techniques such as qPCR, when some form of organism cultural enrichment is utilized and which results in a binomial response. Thus, using a specific gene PCR-based (+ or −) most probable number (MPN) assay one could detect anywhere from 0.2 to 10 CFU mL using 6 to 48 reactions (i.e., 8 dilutions × 6 replicates per dilution) depending on the initial concentration of the pathogen and volume sampled.

AB  - Climatic changes are predicted to significantly affect the frequency and severity of disturbances that shape forest ecosystems. We provide a synthesis of climate change effects on native bark beetles, important mortality agents of conifers in western North America. Because of differences in temperature-dependent life-history strategies, including cold-induced mortality and developmental timing, responses to warming will differ among and within bark beetle species. The success of bark beetle populations will also be influenced indirectly by the effects of climate on community associates and host-tree vigor, although little information is available to quantify these relationships. We used available population models and climate forecasts to explore the responses of two eruptive bark beetle species. Based on projected warming, increases in thermal regimes conducive to population success are predicted for Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby) and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, although there is considerable spatial and temporal variability. These predictions from population models suggest a movement of temperature suitability to higher latitudes and elevations and identify regions with a high potential for bark beetle outbreaks and associated tree mortality in the coming century.

AB  - SUMMARY Behavior is a quantitative trait determined by multiple genes. Some of these genes may have effects from early development and onward by influencing hormonal systems that are active during different life-stages leading to complex associations, or suites, of traits. Honey bees ( Apis mellifera) have been used extensively in experiments on the genetic and hormonal control of complex social behavior, but the relationships between their early developmental processes and adult behavioral variation are not well understood. Bidirectional selective breeding on social food-storage behavior produced two honey bee strains, each with several sublines, that differ in an associated suite of anatomical, physiological, and behavioral traits found in unselected wild type bees. Using these genotypes, we document strain-specific changes during larval, pupal, and early adult life-stages for the central insect hormones juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroids. Strain differences correlate with variation in female reproductive anatomy (ovary size), which can be influenced by JH during development, and with secretion rates of ecdysteroid from the ovaries of adults. Ovary size was previously assigned to the suite of traits of honey bee food-storage behavior. Our findings support that bidirectional selection on honey bee social behavior acted on pleiotropic gene networks. These networks may bias a bee's adult phenotype by endocrine effects on early developmental processes that regulate variation in reproductive traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although summer roosting by Lasionycteris noetivagans (Silver-haired Bats) has been studied in various ecological regions of North America, no quantitative studies have examined winter roost selection. We radiotracked 11 bats to 31 day-roosts during winter in forests of the Ouachita Mountains, AR. We quantified roost structures and examined the association between roosts and forest stands. We also examined effects of temperature on roost use. Ninety percent of roosts were in trees (5 species): 55% of all roosts were under loose bark on the bole of live overstory Pinus echinata (Shortleaf Pine), 3% of roosts were in a rock outcrop, and 6% were at ground level (under a tree root or in a cavity at the base of a live pine). Bats selected pine or pine-hardwoods stands >50 years old, and used forest stands 15-50 years of age less than their availability. Roost locations were influenced by temperature and solar radiation; most (90%) roosts were on southern topographic aspects, and bats roosted in the rock outcrop or on the ground on colder days (<5 °C). Retaining open pine and hardwood stands >50 years old on south slopes would likely maintain roosting habitat for wintering Silver-haired Bats in the Ouachita Mountains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Accurate control of tissue-specific gene expression plays a pivotal role in heart development, but few cardiac transcriptional enhancers have thus far been identified. Extreme noncoding-sequence conservation has successfully predicted enhancers that are active in many tissues but has failed to identify substantial numbers of heart-specific enhancers. Here, we used ChIP-Seq with the enhancer-associated protein p300 from mouse embryonic day 11.5 heart tissue to identify over 3,000 candidate heart enhancers genome wide. Compared to enhancers active in othertissues we studied at this time point, most candidate heart enhancers were less deeply conserved in vertebrate evolution. Nevertheless, transgenic mouse assays of 130 candidate regions revealed that most function reproducibly as enhancers active in the heart, irrespective of their degree of evolutionary constraint. These results provide evidence for a large population of poorly conserved heart enhancers and suggest that the evolutionary conservation of embryonic enhancers can vary depending on tissue type.

AB  - Arabidopsis ACT2 represents an ancient class of vegetative plant actins and is strongly and constitutively expressed in almost all Arabidopsis sporophyte vegetative tissues. Using the beta glucuronidase report system, the studies showed that ACT2 5′ regulatory region was significantly more active than CaMV 35S promoter in Arabidopsis seedlings and gametophyte vegetative tissues of Physcomitrella patens. Its activity was also observed in rice and maize seedlings. Thus, the ACT2 5′ regulatory region could potentially serve as a strong regulator to express a transgene in divergent plant species. ACT2 5′ regulatory region contained 15 conserved sequence elements, an ancient intron in its 5′ un-translated region (5′ UTR), and a purine-rich stretch followed by a pyrimidine-rich stretch (PuPy). Mutagenesis and deletion analysis illustrated that some of the conserved sequence elements and the region containing PuPy sequences played regulatory roles in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, mutation of the conserved elements did not lead a dramatic change in the activity of ACT2 5′ regulatory region. The ancient intron in ACT2 5′ UTR was required for its strong expression in both Arabidopsis and P. patens, but did not fully function as a canonical intron. Thus, it was likely that some of the conserved sequence elements and gene structures had been preserved in ACT2 5′ regulatory region over the course of land plant evolution partly due to their functional importance. The studies provided additional evidences that identification of evolutionarily conserved features in non-coding region might be used as an efficient strategy to predict gene regulatory elements.

AB  - The efficacy of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) against the early stages of an experimental acute infection of Flavobacterium columnare in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, was evaluated. Fish were experimentally challenged by waterborne exposure for 2 h to F. columnare after cutaneous abrasion, and treated with KMnO4 at 2.0 mg L−1 above the KMnO4 demand at 0, 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge for 24 h. Challenged non-treated fish acted as a positive control and non-challenged non-treated fish acted as a negative control. Fish challenged and treated with KMnO4 at 0, 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge had mortalities of 26%, 63%, 64% and 83% respectively. The mortality of challenged fish treated with KMnO4 at 0 h postchallenge (26%) was significantly less than the positive control (77%). The mortalities of challenged fish treated at 1, 2 or 4 h postchallenge were not significantly different from the positive control fish. The results suggest that KMnO4 has a clear therapeutic value in early stages of columnaris infection but limited therapeutic value once the infection has progressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Determination of the optical properties from intact biological materials based on diffusion approximation theory is a complicated inverse problem, and it requires proper implementation of inverse algorithm, instrumentation and experiment. This article was aimed at optimizing the procedure of estimating the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of turbid homogeneous media from spatially-resolved diffuse reflectance data. A diffusion model and the inverse algorithm were first validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Sensitivity analysis was performed to gain an insight into the relationship between the estimated parameters and the dependent variables in the inverse algorithm for improving the parameter estimation procedure. Three data transformation and the relative weighting methods were compared in the nonlinear least squares regression. It is found that the logarithm and integral data transformation and relative weighting methods greatly improve estimation accuracy with the relative errors of 10.4%, 10.7% and 11.4% for the absorption coefficient, and 6.6%, 7.0% and 7.1% for the reduced scattering coefficient, respectively. Further statistical analysis shows that the logarithm transformation and relative weighting methods give more reliable estimations of the optical parameters. To accurately estimate the optical parameters, it is important to study and quantify the characteristics and properties of the mathematical model and its inverse algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ascorbic acid (AA) was encapsulated in glassy low-dextrose equivalent maltodextrin matrix by extrusion. The effects of formulation parameters, i.e., core/matrix ratio and water content were mainly investigated on Tg of extrudate. The AA yield, AA content and water content of the products together with extrusion parameters were also determined and compared for different formulations. The Tg of extrudates containing water content from 7.860% to 10.430% ranged from 43.17 to 27.48 °C, and the Tg of extrudates which core to matrix from 1:4 to 1:8 ranged from 35.79 to 41.64 °C. AA yield of all extrudates is above 96%, and with increasing water content, there was a slight decrease in the AA yield. The increased water level and core/matrix ratio reduce specific mechanical energy and die head pressure. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggested that AA was most likely molecularly dispersed within the maltodextrin indicating the miscibility of AA and maltodextrin.

AB  - The availability of complete or nearly complete genome sequences from several plant species permits detailed discovery and cross-species comparison of transposable elements (TEs) at the whole genome level. We initially investigated 510 long terminal repeat-retrotransposon (LTR-RT) families comprising 32 370 elements in soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Approximately 87% of these elements were located in recombination-suppressed pericentromeric regions, where the ratio (1.26) of solo LTRs to intact elements (S/I) is significantly lower than that of chromosome arms (1.62). Further analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between S/I and LTR sizes, indicating that larger LTRs facilitate solo LTR formation. Phylogenetic analysis revealed seven Copia and five Gypsy evolutionary lineages that were present before the divergence of eudicot and monocot species, but the scales and timeframes within which they proliferated vary dramatically across families, lineages and species, and notably, a Copia lineage has been lost in soybean. Analysis of the physical association of LTR-RTs with centromere satellite repeats identified two putative centromere retrotransposon ( CR) families of soybean, which were grouped into the CR (e.g. CRR and CRM) lineage found in grasses, indicating that the ‘functional specification’ of CR pre-dates the bifurcation of eudicots and monocots. However, a number of families of the CR lineage are not concentrated in centromeres, suggesting that their CR roles may now be defunct. Our data also suggest that the envelope-like genes in the putative Copia retrovirus-like family are probably derived from the Gypsy retrovirus-like lineage, and thus we propose the hypothesis of a single ancient origin of envelope-like genes in flowering plants.

AB  - Existing strategies for long-term bovine tuberculosis (bTB) control/eradication campaigns are being reconsidered in many countries because of the development of new testing technologies, increased global trade, continued struggle with wildlife reservoirs of bTB, redistribution of international trading partners/agreements, and emerging financial and animal welfare constraints on herd depopulation. Changes under consideration or newly implemented include additional control measures to limit risks with imported animals, enhanced programs to mitigate wildlife reservoir risks, re-evaluation of options to manage bTB-affected herds/regions, modernization of regulatory framework(s) to re-focus control efforts, and consideration of emerging testing technologies (i.e. improved or new tests) for use in bTB control/eradication programs. Traditional slaughter surveillance and test/removal strategies will likely be augmented by incorporation of new technologies and more targeted control efforts. The present review provides an overview of current and emerging bTB testing strategies/tools and a vision for incorporation of emerging technologies into the current control/eradication programs.

AB  - National forest inventories (NFIs) have a long history, although their current major features date only to the early years of the twentieth century. Recent issues such as concern over the effects of acid deposition, biodiversity, forest sustainability, increased demand for forest data, international reporting requirements and climate change have led to the expansion of NFIs to include more variables, greater diversity in sampling protocols and a generally more holistic approach. This review focuses on six selected topics: (1) a brief historical review; (2) a summary of common structural features of NFIs; (3) a brief review of international reporting requirements using NFI data with an emphasis on approaches to harmonized estimation; (4) an overview of inventory estimation methods that can be enhanced with remotely sensed data; (5) an overview of nearest neighbors prediction and estimation techniques; and (6) a brief overview of several emerging issues including carbon inventories in developing countries and use of lidar data. Although general inventory principles will remain unchanged, sampling designs, plot configurations and measurement protocols will require modification before they can be applied in countries with tropical forests. Technological advances, particularly in the use of remotely sensed data, including lidar data, have led to greater inventory efficiencies, better maps and accurate estimation for small areas.

AB  - Tremendous advances in the construction and assessment of forest attribute maps and related spatial products have been realized in recent years, partly as a result of the use of remotely sensed data as an information source. This review focuses on the current state of techniques for the construction and assessment of remote sensing-based maps and addresses five topic areas: statistical classification and prediction techniques used to construct maps and related spatial products, accuracy assessment methods, map-based statistical inference, and two emerging topics, change detection and use of lidar data. Multiple general conclusions were drawn from the review: (1) remotely sensed data greatly contribute to the construction of forest attribute maps and related spatial products and to the reduction of inventory costs; (2) parametric prediction techniques, accuracy assessment methods and probability-based (design-based) inferential methods are generally familiar and mature, although inference is surprisingly seldom addressed; (3) non-parametric prediction techniques and model-based inferential methods lack maturity and merit additional research; (4) change detection methods, with their great potential for adding a spatial component to change estimates, will mature rapidly; and (5) lidar applications, although currently immature, add an entirely new dimension to remote sensing research and will also mature rapidly. Crucial forest sustainability and climate change applications will continue to push all aspects of remote sensing to the forefront of forest research and operations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Remarkable progress in optical microscopy has been made in the measurement of nanometre distances. If diffraction blurs the image of a point object into an Airy disk with a root-mean-squared (r.m.s.) size of s =  0.44λ/2NA (∼90 nm for light with a wavelength of λ = 600 nm and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of NA = 1.49), limiting the resolution of the far-field microscope in use to d = 2.4s ≈ 200 nm, additional knowledge about the specimen can be used to great advantage. For example, if the source is known to be two spatially resolved fluorescent molecules, the distance between them is given by the separation of the centres of the two fluorescence images. In high-resolution microwave and optical spectroscopy, there are numerous examples where the line centre is determined with a precision of less than 10−6 of the linewidth. In contrast, in biological applications the brightest single fluorescent emitters can be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼100, limiting the centroid localization precision to sloc ≥ 1% (≥1 nm) of the r.m.s. size, s, of the microscope point spread function (PSF). Moreover, the error in co-localizing two or more single emitters is notably worse, remaining greater than 5–10% (5–10 nm) of the PSF size. Here we report a distance resolution of sreg = 0.50 nm (1σ) and an absolute accuracy of sdistance = 0.77 nm (1σ) in a measurement of the separation between differently coloured fluorescent molecules using conventional far-field fluorescence imaging in physiological buffer conditions. The statistical uncertainty in the mean for an ensemble of identical single-molecule samples is limited only by the total number of collected photons, to sloc ≈ 0.3 nm, which is ∼3 × 10−3 times the size of the optical PSF. Our method may also be used to improve the resolution of many subwavelength, far-field imaging methods such as those based on co-localization of molecules that are stochastically switched on in space. The improved resolution will allow the structure of large, multisubunit biological complexes in biologically relevant environments to be deciphered at the single-molecule level.

AB  - Two experiments were conducted to evaluate various ingredient combinations in a 28% or 32% protein diet for optimum performance of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. All diets contained soybean meal and corn, but with or without cottonseed meal, wheat middlings or fish meal (FM). Channel catfish fingerlings were stocked into 0.04 ha earthen ponds at 18 530 fish ha−1. Fish were fed one of eight diets once daily to apparent satiation for two growing seasons. Results demonstrated that the dietary ingredient composition used had significant effects on fish performance, but magnitude of differences was relatively small. Overall, diets containing FM resulted in greater weight gain (Experiments 1 and 2) and lower feed conversion ratio (Experiment 1) than fish fed all-plant diets. However, certain combinations of plant ingredients provided the similar fish growth as some diets containing FM. There were no significant differences in weight gain between fish fed soybean meal–corn or soybean meal–corn–wheat middlings-based diets with cottonseed meal or FM. The use of wheat middlings in the diet had no significant effects on fish production characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lactobacillus intermedius NRRL B-3693 produced mannitol, lactic acid, and acetic acid when grown on fructose at 37°C. The optimal pH for mannitol production from fructose by the heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium (LAB) in pH-controlled fermentation was at pH 5.0. It produced 160.7 ± 1.1 g mannitol in 40 h with a volumetric productivity of 4.0 g l−1 h−1 in a simplified medium containing 250 g fructose, 50 g corn steep liquor (CSL), and 33 mg MnSO4 per liter. However, the mannitol production by the LAB was severely affected by the variability of CSL. The supplementation of CSL with soy peptone (5 g/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l), tryptophan (50 mg/l) plus tyrosine (50 mg/l), or commercial protease preparation (2 ml/100 g of CSL) enhanced the performance of the inferior CSL and thus helped to overcome the nutrient limitations.

AB  - Microflora of fruit surfaces have been the best source of antagonists against fungi causing postharvest decay of fruit. However, there is little information on microflora colonizing surfaces of fruits other than grape, apple, and citrus. We characterized bacterial microflora on nectarine fruit surfaces from the early stage of development until harvest. Identification of bacterial strains was made using MIDI (fatty acid methyl ester analysis) and Biolog systems. Biolog identified 35% and MIDI 53% of the strains. Thus results from MIDI were used to determine the frequency of occurrence of genera and species. The most frequently occurring genera were Curtobacterium (21.31%), followed by Pseudomonas (19.99%), Microbacterium (13.57%), Clavibacter (9.69%), Pantoea (6.59%), and Enterobacter (4.26%). The frequency of isolations of some bacteria - for example, the major pseudomonads (Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas savastanoi) or Pantoea agglomerans - tended to decline as fruit developed. As Pseudomonas declined, Curtobacterium became more dominant. Time of isolation was a significant factor in the frequency of occurrence of different bacteria, indicating succession of the genera. Throughput screening of the bacterial strains against Monilinia fructicola on nectarine fruit resulted in the detection of strains able to control brown rot. The 10 best-performing antagonistic strains were subjected to secondary screening. Four strains reduced decay severity by more than 50% (51.7%-91.4% reduction) at the high pathogen inoculum concentration of 105 conidia/mL. La microflore présente à la surface des fruits a été la meilleure source de composés antagonistes de champignons qui responsables du pourrissement après la récolte. Cependant, il n’existe que peu d’information sur la microflore qui colonise les surfaces de la nectarine, du stade précoce de développement du fruit jusqu’à sa récolte. L’identification de souches bactériennes a été réalisée à l’aide des systèmes MIDI (analyse de esters méthylique d’acides gras) et Biolog. Le Biolog a permis d’identifier 35 % des souches, alors que le MIDI en a identifié 53%; les résultats du MIDI ont donc été utilisés pour déterminer la fréquence des genres et des espèces. Les genres les plus fréquemment retrouvés sont Curtobacterium (21,31 %), suivi de Pseudomonas (19,99 %), Microbacterium (13,57 %), Clavibacter (9,69 %), Pantoea (6,59 %), et Enterobacter (4,26 %). La fréquence d’isolement de quelques bactéries, les pseudomonades principales (Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas putida et Pseudomonas savastonoi) ou Pantoea agglomerans, par exemple, tend à décliner en fonction du développement du fruit. Au fil du déclin de Pseudomonas, Curtobacterium devient davantage dominant. La période d’isolement constituait un facteur significatif de la fréquence des différentes bactéries, indiquant une succession de genres. Un criblage à haut débit des souches bactériennes Monilinia fruticola présentes sur la nectarine a résulté en la détection de souches capables de contrôler la pourriture brune. Les 10 meilleures souches antagonistes ont été soumises à un deuxième criblage. Quatre souches ont réduit la sévérité de la pourriture par plus de 50 % (51,7 % à 91,4 % de réduction) à une concentration élevée d’inoculation de pathogène de 105 conidies/mL.

AB  - Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Neotropic Cormorant) has been observed with increasing frequency in the alluvial plain (Delta region) of Mississippi. In the past 6 years, 22 individuals have been observed in 20 separate sightings during spring and summer. These sightings have occurred at breeding colonies of other colonial waterbirds and commercial aquaculture facilities of Ictalurus punctatus (Channel Catfish). Two sexually mature Neotropic Cormorants have been collected at a colonial waterbird breeding colony near the Mississippi River in the western Delta region among flocks of Phalacrocorax auritus (Double-crested Cormorants). Twice during the summer of 2008, confirmed nesting of Neotropic Cormorants were documented in the Delta region of Mississippi. The increased abundance and range expansion of Neotropic Cormorants in the Delta region of Mississippi may be a result of the readily available food source of cultured Channel Catfish.

AB  - Using different sources of nitrogen as fertilizers in nursery ponds may affect water quality and plankton responses. We evaluated water quality variables and plankton population responses when using different nitrogen sources for catfish nursery pond fertilization. We compared calcium nitrate (12% N), sodium nitrite (20% N), ammonium chloride (26% N), ammonium nitrate (34% N) and urea (45% N) in 190-L microcosms at equimolar nitrogen application rates. Sodium nitrite-fertilized microcosms had higher nitrite and nitrate levels during the first week; no other differences in the water quality were detected among fertilizer types ( P>0.05). No differences in green algae, diatoms or cyanobacteria were detected among treatments; desirable zooplankton for catfish culture was increased in urea-fertilized microcosms. Based on these results, any form of nitrogen used for pond fertilization should perform similarly without causing substantial water quality deterioration. Ammonium nitrate and urea contain a higher percentage of nitrogen, requiring less volume to achieve dosing levels. If both urea and ammonium nitrate are available, we recommend using the one with the least cost per unit of nitrogen. If both types of fertilizer have an equal cost per unit of nitrogen, we recommend using urea because of the potential advantage of increasing desirable zooplankton concentrations.

AB  - Hybridization in the wild between closely related species is not unusual. In some cases, hybridization may prove beneficial for a rare taxon. Under certain conditions, however, a rare taxon can be driven rapidly to extinction by hybridizing with a more common taxon. This problem is urgent because human activities are increasingly bringing together cross-compatible species that were previously geographically isolated. US conservation policy has yet to address how to deal with hybrid-derived individuals whose ancestry includes an endangered species. Developing sound science-based conservation policy that addresses hybridization requires cross-disciplinary social-science and life-science research to address the following two questions: (I) How do human decisions with regard to species protection, trade, transportation, land use, and other factors affect the opportunities for, and rates of hybridization between, rare species and more common relatives? and (2) How do the positive or negative perceived values regarding hybrids and hybrid-derived individuals compare with values regarding their nonhybridized counterparts from social, cultural, economic, and environmental perspectives? In this article we explore the ways to inform such policy using a multidisciplinary approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pest risk maps are powerful visual communication tools to describe where invasive alien species might arrive, establish, spread, or cause harmful impacts. These maps inform strategic and tactical pest management decisions, such as potential restrictions on international trade or the design of pest surveys and domestic quarantines. Diverse methods are available to create pest risk maps, and can potentially yield different depictions of risk for the same species. Inherent uncertainties about the biology of the invader, future climate conditions, and species interactions further complicate map interpretation. If multiple maps are available, risk managers must choose how to incorporate the various representations of risk into their decision making process, and may make significant errors if they misunderstand what each map portrays. This article describes the need for pest risk maps, compares pest risk mapping methods, and recommends future research to improve such important decision-support tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To determine the effects of eating carotene-rich green and yellow vegetables on the prevalence of anaemia, iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia in schoolchildren.Subjects and methods:Schoolchildren (n=104), aged 9–12 years, received standardized meals containing 4.2 mg of provitamin A carotenoids/day (mainly β-carotene) from yellow and green leafy vegetables and at least 7 g dietary fat/day. The meals were provided three times/day, 5 days/week, for 9 weeks at school. Before and after the dietary intervention, total-body vitamin A pool size was assessed by using the deuterated-retinol-dilution method; serum retinol and β-carotene concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography; and whole blood haemoglobin (Hb) and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) concentrations were measured by using a photometer and a hematofluorometer, respectively.Results:After 9 weeks, the mean total-body vitamin A pool size increased twofold (95% confidence interval (CI): −0.11, −0.07 μmol retinol; P<0.001), and serum β-carotene concentration increased fivefold (95% CI: −0.97, −0.79 μmol/l; P<0.001). Blood Hb (95% CI: −1.02, −0.52 g per 100 ml; P<0.001) and ZnPP increased (95% CI: −11.82, −4.57 μmol/mol haem; P<0.001). The prevalence of anaemia (Hb<11.5 g per 100 ml) decreased from 12.5 to 1.9% (P<0.001). There were no significant changes in the prevalence of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia.Conclusions:Ingestion of carotene-rich yellow and green leafy vegetables improves the total-body vitamin A pool size and Hb concentration, and decreases anaemia rates in Filipino schoolchildren, with no effect on iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia rates.

AB  - CD4+ T helper 2 (TH2) cells secrete interleukin (IL)4, IL5 and IL13, and are required for immunity to gastrointestinal helminth infections. However, TH2 cells also promote chronic inflammation associated with asthma and allergic disorders. The non-haematopoietic-cell-derived cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL33 and IL25 (also known as IL17E) have been implicated in inducing TH2 cell-dependent inflammation at mucosal sites, but how these cytokines influence innate immune responses remains poorly defined. Here we show that IL25, a member of the IL17 cytokine family, promotes the accumulation of a lineage-negative (Lin-) multipotent progenitor (MPP) cell population in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue that promotes TH2 cytokine responses. The IL25-elicited cell population, termed MPPtype2 cells, was defined by the expression of Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a) and intermediate expression of c-Kit (c-Kitint), and exhibited multipotent capacity, giving rise to cells of monocyte/macrophage and granulocyte lineages both in vitro and in vivo. Progeny of MPPtype2 cells were competent antigen presenting cells, and adoptive transfer of MPPtype2 cells could promote TH2 cytokine responses and confer protective immunity to helminth infection in normally susceptible Il25-/- mice. The ability of IL25 to induce the emergence of an MPPtype2 cell population identifies a link between the IL17 cytokine family and extramedullary haematopoiesis, and suggests a previously unrecognized innate immune pathway that promotes TH2 cytokine responses at mucosal sites.

AB  - Europe and North America share a similar history in the extirpation and subsequent recovery of large carnivore and ungulate species. Both continents face challenges and opportunities for managing human-wildlife conflict at the junction of livestock production and wildlife conservation. Predation of livestock and disease transmission between wildlife and livestock is an ongoing and escalating worldwide issue. In order to manage this conflict, producers need effective tools, and they have used livestock protection dogs (LPDs) for reducing predation for well over 2000 years. We review the history of the use of LPDs, including the loss of information on their use and the paucity of scientific research on their effectiveness. We discuss the potential for LPDs to be integral components in modern-day livestock husbandry and outline future directions to pursue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sixteen and 8 open reading frames were mapped to these loci in E. coli O2:H4 U 9-41 and E. coli O28ac:H25 96-3286, respectively. The wzx (O-antigen flippase) and wzy (O-antigen polymerase) genes in the E. coli O2 and O28ac O-antigen gene clusters were selected as targets for PCR assays for their identification. PCR assays targeting the wzx and wzy genes were specific for these serogroups, with one exception. Escherichia coli serogroup O42 strains gave positive results with wzx and wzy PCR assays targeting E. coli O28ac, and antiserum raised against O42 cross-reacted with serogroup O28ac strains. The O-antigen gene cluster of a strain of E. coli serogroup O42 was sequenced, and there were only 3 nt differences between the O-antigen gene clusters of the O28ac and O42 strains. Multiplex PCR assays targeting the O2 wzx gene, the stx1, stx2, hly, eae, and saa genes, and the O28ac wzx, ial, ipaC, and ipaH genes were developed for detecting Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O2 strains and enteroinvasive E. coli O28ac strains, respectively. The O2 and O28ac wzx and wzy genes can be used as diagnostic markers in PCR assays for rapid identification of these serogroups as an alternative to serotyping, and the multiplex PCR assays targeting serogroup-specific genes in combination with virulence genes can be used to identify and to detect pathogenic serogroup O2 and O28ac strains. Les groupes géniques de l’antigène O d’Escherichia coli des groupes sérologiques O2 et O28ac ont été séquencés, et des essais par PCR ont été développés afin d’identifier les souches appartenant à ces deux groupes sérologiques. Seize et 8 cadres de lecture ouverts ont été respectivement cartographiés sur ces locus chez E. coli O2:H4 U 9-41 et E. coli O28ac:H25 96-3286. Les gènes wzx (flippase de l’antigène O) et wzy (polymérase de l’antigène O) des groupes géniques de l’antigène O chez E. coli O2 et O28ac ont été choisis comme cibles des essais par PCR en vue de leur identification. Les essais PCR ayant pour cibles wzx et wzy étaient spécifiques à ces groupes sérologiques à une exception près. Les souches E.coli du groupe sérologique O42 généraient des résultats positifs en PCR pour wzx et wzy ciblant E. coli O28ac, et l’antisérum produit contre O42 réagissait de façon croisée avec les souches du groupe sérologique O28ac. Le groupe génique de l’antigène O d’une souche d’E. coli du groupe sérologique O42 a été séquencé, révélant qu’il n’y avait que 3 nt de différence entre les groupes géniques de l’antigène O des souches O28ac et O42. Des essais par PCR multiplex ciblant le gène wzx, les gènes stx1, stx2, hly, eae, et saa de O2 et les gènes wzx, ial, ipaC et ipaH de O28ac ont été développés pour détecter les souches d’E. coli O2 productrice de la toxine de Shiga et les souches d’E. coli O28ac entéroinvasives, respectivement. Comme alternative au typage sérologique, les gènes wzx et wzy des groupes O2 et O28ac peuvent être utilisés comme marqueurs diagnostics en PCR afin d’identifier rapidement ces groupes sérologiques, et les essais par PCR multiplex ciblant les gènes spécifiques des groupes sérologiques et les gènes de virulence peuvent être utilisés pour identifier et détecter les souches pathogènes des groupes sérologiques O2 et O28ac.

AB  - Mixed linear model (MLM) methods have proven useful in controlling for population structure and relatedness within genome-wide association studies. However, MLM-based methods can be computationally challenging for large datasets. We report a compression approach, called 'compressed MLM', that decreases the effective sample size of such datasets by clustering individuals into groups. We also present a complementary approach, 'population parameters previously determined' (P3D), that eliminates the need to re-compute variance components. We applied these two methods both independently and combined in selected genetic association datasets from human, dog and maize. The joint implementation of these two methods markedly reduced computing time and either maintained or improved statistical power. We used simulations to demonstrate the usefulness in controlling for substructure in genetic association datasets for a range of species and genetic architectures. We have made these methods available within an implementation of the software program TASSEL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:This study was undertaken to validate the first quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (QMR) instrument designed and built to assess body composition in children from birth to adulthood (up to 50 kg).Design:A total of 50 pigs weighing between 3.0 and 49.1 kg were studied. Each piglet's body composition was assessed by quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (QMR, EchoMRI-AH small), whole-body chemical carcass analysis for lipid and water content, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Hologic QDR 4500, using infant or adult whole-body scan acquisition programs where appropriate). Twenty-five piglets (3.1–47.2 kg) were randomly selected to calibrate the QMR instrument. The remaining 25 piglets (3.0–49.1 kg) were used to validate the instrument.Results:The precision of QMR to estimate fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM) and total body water (TBW) for five consecutive scans was excellent (1.3, 0.9 and 0.9%, respectively). QMR measures of FM were highly and significantly correlated with chemical carcass analyses and DXA measures (r2=0.99 and r2=0.98, respectively). QMR and DXA FFM results were highly correlated (R2=0.99, P<0.01). TBW measures were strongly correlated between QMR and carcass analyses (R2=0.99, P<0.01). QMR overestimated FM by 2% and DXA measures (using the infant and adult scan programs) overestimated FM by 15% on average.Conclusion:QMR provides precise and accurate measures of FM, FFM and TBW in piglets weighing up to 50 kg. As the piglet is considered to be an excellent model of human development, these data suggest that QMR should provide the opportunity to acquire valuable body composition data in longitudinal studies in children, which is not possible or practical with other commercially available instrumentation.

AB  - A seasonally occurring summer hypoxic (low oxygen) zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico is the second largest in the world. Reductions in nutrients from agricultural cropland in its watershed are needed to reduce the hypoxic zone size to the national policy goal of 5,000 km2 (as a 5-y running average) set by the national Gulf of Mexico Task Force's Action Plan. We develop an integrated assessment model linking the water quality effects of cropland conservation investment decisions on the more than 550 agricultural subwatersheds that deliver nutrients into the Gulf with a hypoxic zone model. We use this integrated assessment model to identify the most cost-effective subwatersheds to target for cropland conservation investments. We consider targeting of the location (which subwatersheds to treat) and the extent of conservation investment to undertake (how much cropland within a subwatershed to treat). We use process models to simulate the dynamics of the effects of cropland conservation investments on nutrient delivery to the Gulf and use an evolutionary algorithm to solve the optimization problem. Model results suggest that by targeting cropland conservation investments to the most cost-effective location and extent of coverage, the Action Plan goal of 5,000 km2 can be achieved at a cost of $2.7 billion annually. A large set of cost-hypoxia tradeoffs is developed, ranging from the baseline to the nontargeted adoption of the most aggressive cropland conservation investments in all subwatersheds (estimated to reduce the hypoxic zone to less than 3,000 km2 at a cost of $5.6 billion annually).

AB  - A hybrid supercapacitor constructed of a Si-based anode and a porous carbon cathode is demonstrated with both high power and energy densities. Boron-doping is employed to improve the rate capability of the Si-based anode (B-Si/SiO2/C). At a high current density of 6.4 A/g, B-Si/SiO2/C delivers a capacity of 685 mAh/g, 2.4 times that of the undoped Si/SiO2/C. Benefiting from the high rate performance along with low working voltage, high capacity, and good cycling stability of B-Si/SiO2/C, the hybrid supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 128 Wh/kg at 1229 W/kg. Even when power density increases to the level of a conventional supercapacitor (9704 W/kg), 89 Wh/kg can be obtained, the highest values of any hybrid supercapacitor to date. Long cycling life (capacity retention of 70% after 6000 cycles) and low self-discharge rate (voltage retention of 82% after 50 hours) are also achieved. This work opens an avenue for development of high-performance hybrid supercapacitors using high-performance Si-based anodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The preservation of our cultural heritage is of great importance to future generations. Despite this, significant problems have arisen with the conservation of waterlogged wooden artifacts. Three major issues facing conservators are structural instability on drying, biological degradation, and chemical degradation on account of Fe3+-catalyzed production of sulfuric and oxalic acid in the waterlogged timbers. Currently, no conservation treatment exists that effectively addresses all three issues simultaneously. A new conservation treatment is reported here based on a supramolecular polymer network constructed from natural polymers with dynamic cross-linking formed by a combination of both host-guest complexation and a strong siderophore pendant from a polymer backbone. Consequently, the proposed consolidant has the ability to chelate and trap iron while enhancing structural stability. The incorporation of antibacterial moieties through a dynamic covalent linkage into the network provides the material with improved biological resistance. Exploiting an environmentally compatible natural material with completely reversible chemistries is a safer, greener alternative to current strategies and may extend the lifetime of many culturally relevant waterlogged artifacts around the world.

AB  - Background Varestrongylus alces, a lungworm in Eurasian moose from Europe has been considered a junior synonym of Varestrongylus capreoli, in European roe deer, due to a poorly detailed morphological description and the absence of a type-series. Methods Specimens used in the redescription were collected from lesions in the lungs of Eurasian moose, from Vestby, Norway. Specimens were described based on comparative morphology and integrated approaches. Molecular identification was based on PCR, cloning and sequencing of the ITS-2 region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. Phylogenetic analysis compared V. alces ITS-2 sequences to these of other Varestrongylus species and other protostrongylids. Results Varestrongylus alces is resurrected for protostrongylid nematodes of Eurasian moose from Europe. Varestrongylus alces causes firm nodular lesions that are clearly differentiated from the adjacent lung tissue. Histologically, lesions are restricted to the parenchyma with adult, egg and larval parasites surrounded by multinucleated giant cells, macrophages, eosinophilic granulocytes, lymphocytes. The species is valid and distinct from others referred to Varestrongylus, and should be separated from V. capreoli. Morphologically, V. alces can be distinguished from other species by characters in the males that include a distally bifurcated gubernaculum, arched denticulate crura, spicules that are equal in length and relatively short, and a dorsal ray that is elongate and bifurcated. Females have a well-developed provagina, and are very similar to those of V. capreoli. Morphometrics of first-stage larvae largely overlap with those of other Varestrongylus. Sequences of the ITS-2 region strongly support mutual independence of V. alces, V. cf. capreoli, and the yet undescribed species of Varestrongylus from North American ungulates. These three taxa form a well-supported crown-clade as the putative sister of V. alpenae. The association of V. alces and Alces or its ancestors is discussed in light of host and parasite phylogeny and host historical biogeography. Conclusions Varestrongylus alces is a valid species, and should be considered distinct from V. capreoli. Phylogenetic relationships among Varestrongylus spp. from Eurasia and North America are complex and consistent with faunal assembly involving recurrent events of geographic expansion, host switching and subsequent speciation.

AB  - Background A putative new species of Varestrongylus has been recently recognized in wild North American ungulates based on the ITS-2 sequences of larvae isolated from feces during a wide geographic survey. No taxonomic description was provided, as adult specimens were not examined. Methods Lungworm specimens were collected in the terminal bronchioles of muskoxen from Quebec, and a woodland caribou from central Alberta, Canada. The L3 stage was recovered from experimentally infected slugs (Deroceras spp.). Description of specimens was based on comparative morphology and integrated approaches. Molecular identity was determined by PCR and sequencing of the ITS-2 region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, and compared to other protostrongylids. Results Varestrongylus eleguneniensis sp. n. is established for a recently discovered protostrongylid nematode found in caribou (Rangifer tarandus), muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) and moose (Alces americanus); hosts that collectively occupy an extensive geographic range across northern North America. Adults of Varestrongylus eleguneniensis are distinguished from congeners by a combination of characters in males (distally bifurcate gubernaculum, relatively short equal spicules not split distally, a strongly elongate and bifurcate dorsal ray, and an undivided copulatory bursa) and females (reduced provagina with hood-like fold extending ventrally across prominent genital protuberance). Third-stage larvae resemble those found among other species in the genus. The genus Varestrongylus is emended to account for the structure of the dorsal ray characteristic of V. eleguneniensis, V. alpenae, V. alces and V. longispiculatus. Conclusions Herein we describe and name V. eleguneniensis, a pulmonary protostrongylid with Rangifer tarandus as a primary definitive host, and which secondarily infects muskoxen and moose in areas of sympatry. Biogeographic history for V. eleguneniensis and V. alpenae, the only two endemic species of Varestrongylus known from North America, appears consistent with independent events of geographic expansion with cervid hosts from Eurasia into North America during the late Pliocene and Quaternary.

AB  - We investigated a trichinellosis outbreak associated with wild boar consumption. The index patient sought healthcare multiple times before being diagnosed. Targeted education of hunters and consumers handling wild game or free-range pork, owners of game farms, and clinicians is warranted.Background. Rates of trichinellosis have declined significantly in the United States due to improved pork production practices and public awareness of the danger of eating raw or undercooked pork. In April 2011, the Minnesota Department of Health received a report of presumptive trichinellosis in a 50-year-old man with a history of wild boar consumption. A public health investigation was initiated.Methods. Medical record reviews and patient and family interviews were conducted. Trichinella species serology was performed on patient and family serum samples, and larval identification was attempted on clinical specimens and meat samples.Results. The index patient harvested a wild boar from an Iowa game farm; he processed the meat after returning home and developed gastrointestinal symptoms 2 days later. Four days after his illness onset, all 5 family members consumed a roast from the boar. The index patient sought healthcare 4 times after illness onset before being definitively diagnosed with trichinellosis. Following initiation of albendazole therapy, the index patient developed atrial fibrillation. One additional family member who processed the raw meat was diagnosed with trichinellosis. Trichinella spiralis larvae were identified in wild boar meat samples.Conclusions. Trichinellosis has long been recognized as a potential hazard of consuming undercooked wild carnivore meat, and historically has been associated with consumption of pork from domestic swine, but may be unfamiliar to practicing clinicians in the United States. Education of hunters and the broader population on the potential for trichinellosis and the importance of proper handling and cooking meat from wild or free-range animals needs to be reinforced.

AB  - Interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-15 receptor β (IL-2/15Rβ, CD122) play important roles in signal transduction for biological functions of IL-2 and IL-15. We found that ducks possess three different IL-2/15Rβ transcripts, a conventional form (duIL-2/15Rβ) and two variants. Comparisons between the cDNA and genomic sequences revealed that the two variants, duIL-2/15Rβ-d7 and duIL-2/15Rβ-d9, were novel spliced transcripts resulting from skipping exons 7 and 9, respectively. Expression profiles of duIL-2/15Rβ and its isoforms were examined in healthy tissues, concanavalin A (ConA)-stimulated splenic lymphocytes and in livers and spleens of Riemerella anatipestifer -infected ducks using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Generally, duIL-2/15Rβ-d9 expression was undetectable in healthy tissues, ConA-activated samples, and R. anatipestifer -infected ducks. Expression levels of duIL-2/15Rβ transcript were relatively high to moderate in all healthy tissues tested, while duIL-2/15Rβ-d7 expression was low. Compared to untreated controls, expression levels of duIL-2/15Rβ were elevated in ConA-activated splenic lymphocytes and in livers on day 7 in R. anatipestifer -infected ducks, while duIL-2/15Rβ-d7 expression was unchanged. Additionally, COS-7 cells transfected with duIL-2/15Rβ, duIL-2/15Rβ-d7, or duIL-2/15Rβ-d9 constructs generated 73 kilodalton (kDa), 31 kDa, and 40 kDa proteins, respectively. This study identified three different IL-2/15Rβ transcripts, including two isoforms generated by alternative splicing and their gene expression patterns in stimulated conditions.

AB  - Neurospora crassa has been for decades a principal model for filamentous fungal genetics and physiology as well as for understanding the mechanism of circadian clocks. Eukaryotic fungal and animal clocks comprise transcription-translation-based feedback loops that control rhythmic transcription of a substantial fraction of these tran-scriptomes, yielding the changes in protein abundance that mediate circadian regulation of physiology and metabolism: Understanding circadian control of gene expression is key to understanding eukaryotic, including fungal, physiology. Indeed, the isolation of clock-controlled genes (ccgs) was pioneered in Neurospora where circadian output begins with binding of the core circadian transcription factor WCC to a subset of ccg promoters, including those of many transcription factors. High temporal resolution (2-h) sampling over 48 h using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) identified circadianly expressed genes in Neurospora, revealing that from -10% to as much 40% of the tran-scriptome can be expressed under circadian control. Functional classifications of these genes revealed strong enrichment in pathways involving metabolism, protein synthesis, and stress responses; in broad terms, daytime metabolic potential favors catabolism, energy production, and precursor assembly, whereas night activities favor biosynthesis of cellular components and growth. Discriminative regular expression motif elicitation (DREME) identified key promoter motifs highly correlated with the temporal regulation of ccgs. Correlations between ccg abundance from RNA-Seq, the degree of ccg-pro-moter activation as reported by ccg-promoter-luciferase fusions, and binding of WCC as measured by ChIP-Seq, are not strong. Therefore, although circadian activation is critical to ccg rhythmicity, posttranscriptional regulation plays a major role in determining rhythmicity at the mRNA level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The invasive grass Bromus tectorum negatively impacts grass and shrublands throughout the western U.S., particularly in arid and semiarid regions. We asked whether soil microbes associated with a native grass ( Bouteloua gracilis ) affect growth of Bromus and competition between Bromus and Bouteloua . We also examined whether plant responses varied between soils from 15 sites in the Northern Great Plains. Bromus and Bouteloua were grown in media with sterilized or unsterilized soil, alone and together. Soil sterilization reduced biomass of Bouteloua and Bromus grown alone by an estimated 50% and 48%, respectively. Additionally, results provided evidence that sterilization increased the effect of competition on Bromus , and may have reduced the effect of competition on Bouteloua . Bouteloua likely had a stronger negative effect on Bromus in sterilized soils because sterilization reduced Bromus biomass by a greater absolute amount. Response to sterilization varied appreciably by site for Bromus, but not Bouteloua. Our results support the hypothesis that invasive species such as Bromus often have positive responses to soil biota in the invaded range. Soil microbes are one factor that may be important in determining dynamics of plant invasions, and plant responses to new sites and competition with natives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Viroids are the smallest autonomous infectious nucleic acids known so far. With a small circular RNA genome of about 250-400 nt, which apparently does not code for any protein, viroids replicate and move systemically in host plants. Since the discovery of the first viroid almost forty-five years ago, many different viroids have been isolated, characterized and, frequently, identified as the causal agents of plant diseases. The first viroid classification scheme was proposed in the early 1990s and adopted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) a few years later. Here, the current viroid taxonomy scheme and the criteria for viroid species demarcation are discussed, highlighting the main taxonomic questions currently under consideration by the ICTV Viroid Study Group. The impact of correct taxonomic annotation of viroid sequence variants is also addressed, taking into consideration the increasing application of next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics for known and previously unrecognized viroids.

AB  - Flexible software was designed to replace the current animal model programs used for national genetic evaluations. Model improvements included (1) multi-trait processing, (2) multiple fixed class and regression variables, (3) differing models for different traits, (4) random regressions, and (5) foreign data included using pseudo-records. Computational improvements included (6) parallel processing, (7) renumbering class variables to equation numbers within the program so that estimated effects are output with original identification numbers, and (8) reliability computed within the same program. When applied to 3 fertility traits of 27,971,895 cows and heifers, the new model used daughter pregnancy rate as a correlated trait to improve heifer and cow conception rate evaluations for older animals and in herd-years where records are missing, and also added information from crossbreds. When applied to 7 traits and 76,846,327 lactation records of 30,064,300 cows, gains in accuracy were small for yield and somatic cell score, moderate for daughter pregnancy rate, and larger for productive life for recent bulls compared with single-trait evaluations. For very old bulls, multi-trait gains were also large for protein because lactation records were available only for milk and fat. Multi-trait productive life was computed with exact rather than approximate methods; however, correlated information from conformation was excluded, reducing advantages of the new model over the previous software. Estimates of breed differences, inbreeding depression, and heterosis were similar to previous estimates; new estimates were obtained for conception rates. Predictions were compared by truncating 4 yr of data, and genetic trend validation was applied to all breed-trait combinations. The estimates of trend account for increases in inbreeding across time. Incorporation of foreign data gave correlations above 0.98 for new with previous evaluations of foreign Holstein bulls, but lower for other breeds. The 7-trait model required 35 GB of memory and 3 d to converge using 7 processors. The new software was implemented for fertility traits in 2013 and is scheduled for implementation with yield, somatic cell score, and productive life in 2014. Further revision of the models and software may be needed in the near future to account for genomic preselection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A two-component pheromone, (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 S)- and (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 R)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol (murgantiol), present in emissions from adult male harlequin bugs, Murgantia histrionica, is most attractive in field bioassays to adults and nymphs in the naturally occurring ratio of ca. 1.4:1. Each of the two individual synthetic stereoisomers is highly attractive to male and female adults and nymphs, but is more attractive in combination and when deployed with a harlequin bug host plant. Blends of 8 stereoisomers also are highly attractive, suggesting that isomers not found in the natural pheromone are not repellent. Deployment of an inexpensive non-stereospecific synthetic pheromone holds promise for efficient trapping and/or use in trap-crops for this important pest in North America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Preparation of a complete stereoisomeric library of 1,10-bisaboladien-3-ols and selected 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ols was pivotal for the identification of the aggregation pheromone of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys. Herein, we describe syntheses of the remaining 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ols, and provide additional evidence on the assignment of relative and absolute configurations of these compounds by single-crystal X-ray crystallography of an intermediate, (3 S,6 R,7 R,10 S)-1-bisabolen-3,10,11-triol. To demonstrate the utility of this stereoisomeric library, we revisited the aggregation pheromone of the harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica, and showed that the male-produced pheromone consists of two stereoisomers of 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol. Employment of eight cis-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol stereoisomeric standards, two enantioselective GC columns, and NMR spectroscopy enabled the identification of these compounds as (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 S)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol and (3 S,6 S,7 R,10 R)-10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen-3-ol, which are produced by M. histrionica males in 1.4:1 ratio.

AB  - Abstract: An emulsion was prepared using corn fibre gum (CFG) and the resulting oil and aqueous phases were separated by centrifugation. The material adsorbed onto the surface of the oil droplets in the oil phase was desorbed using surfactant. The desorbed CFG and the non-adsorbed CFG that remained present in the aqueous phase were collected, precipitated using alcohol and freeze dried. Their sugar composition, phenolic acid, lipid and protein contents were determined. There was no consistent difference observed in the sugar composition, phenolic acid and lipid contents of the original material and the adsorbed and non-adsorbed fractions. There was, however, a significant difference in the protein contents with the adsorbed fraction containing ∼10.7% protein compared to 3.90% and 2.87% for the original and non-adsorbed CFG samples respectively. The three samples were also found to have very similar molecular mass distributions and each showed the presence of two peaks using refractive index detection. The major peak, corresponding to ∼95% of the total, had a molecular mass of ∼650,000 g/mol and the minor peak corresponded to a molecular mass of ∼90,000 g/mol. The corresponding UV elution profiles indicated that the minor peak contained a significant proportion of phenolic and/or proteinaceous material. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Soils sequester and release substantial atmospheric carbon,but the contribution of fungal communities to soil carbon balance under rising C02 is not well understood. Soil properties likely mediate these fungal responses but are rarely explored in C02 experiments. We studied soil fungal communities in a grassland ecosystem exposed to a preindustrial-to-future C02 gradient (250 to 500 ppm) in a black clay soil and a sandy loam soil. Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing of the rRNA gene cluster revealed that fungal community composition and its response to C02 differed significantly between soils. Fungal species richness and relative abundance of Chytridiomycota (chytrids) increased linearly with C02 in the black clay (P < 0.04,R2 > 0.7),whereas the relative abundance of Glomeromycota (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) increased linearly with elevated C02 in the sandy loam (P = 0.02,R2 = 0.63). Across both soils,decomposition rate was positively correlated with chytrid relative abundance (r = 0.57) and,in the black clay soil,fungal species richness. Decomposition rate was more strongly correlated with microbial biomass (r = 0.88) than with fungal variables. Increased labile carbon availability with elevated C02 may explain the greater fungal species richness and Chytridiomycota abundance in the black clay soil,whereas increased phosphorus limitation may explain the increase in Glomeromycota at elevated C02 in the sandy loam. Our results demonstrate that soil type plays a key role in soil fungal responses to rising atmospheric C02. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The ability to produce fumonisin mycotoxins varies among members of the black aspergilli. Previously, analyses of selected genes in the fumonisin biosynthetic gene ( fum ) cluster in black aspergilli from California grapes indicated that fumonisin-nonproducing isolates of Aspergillus welwitschiae lack six fum genes, but nonproducing isolates of Aspergillus niger do not. In the current study, analyses of black aspergilli from grapes from the Mediterranean Basin indicate that the genomic context of the fum cluster is the same in isolates of A. niger and A. welwitschiae regardless of fumonisin-production ability and that full-length clusters occur in producing isolates of both species and nonproducing isolates of A. niger . In contrast, the cluster has undergone an eight-gene deletion in fumonisin-nonproducing isolates of A. welwitschiae . Phylogenetic analyses suggest each species consists of a mixed population of fumonisin-producing and nonproducing individuals, and that existence of both production phenotypes may provide a selective advantage to these species. Differences in gene content of fum cluster homologues and phylogenetic relationships of fum genes suggest that the mutation(s) responsible for the nonproduction phenotype differs, and therefore arose independently, in the two species. Partial fum cluster homologues were also identified in genome sequences of four other black Aspergillus species. Gene content of these partial clusters and phylogenetic relationships of fum sequences indicate that non-random partial deletion of the cluster has occurred multiple times among the species. This in turn suggests that an intact cluster and fumonisin production were once more widespread among black aspergilli. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - + and Δpgm Yersinia pestis by ultraviolet light (UV-C) Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of bubonic plague. Though not considered a foodborne pathogen, Y. pestis can survive, and even grow, in some foods, and the foodborne route of transmission is not without precedent. As such, concerns exist over the possible intentional contamination of foods with this deadly pathogen. Here we report the inactivation of avirulent (pYV-minus) strains of Y. pestis by ultraviolet light (UV-C, 254 nm). Two strains of Y. pestis containing an intact pgm virulence locus (pgm+) and strains from which the pgm locus was spontaneously deleted (Δpgm) were tested using cells grown in both logarithmic and stationary phase. The D10 values for inactivation (the UV-C dose required to inactivate one log of bacterial cells) of Y. pestis on the surface of agar plates ranged from 0.69 to 1.09 mJ/cm². A significant difference was observed between the inactivation of cells of Y. pestis strain Yokohama grown in logarithmic and stationary phases, but no significant difference between growth phase sensitivity to UV-C was observed in Y. pestis strain Kuma. No difference in D10 values was observed between pgm+ and Δpgm strains of Yokohama grown to either logarithmic or stationary phase. A measurable difference was observed between the D10 of Kuma pgm+ and Kuma Δpgm grown in logarithmic phase, but this difference was diminished in the Kuma strains grown to stationary phase. Though strain variations exist, the results showing that UV-C can inactivate Y. pestis cells on agar surfaces suggest that UV-C would be effect in inactivating Y. pestis on food surfaces, particularly foods with a smooth surface.

AB  - We previously reported significantly different acid resistance between curli variants derived from the same Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain, although the curli fimbriae were not associated with this phenotypic divergence. Here we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism by examining the genes encoding the common transcriptional regulators of curli biogenesis and acid resistance. rpoS null mutations were detected in all curli-expressing variants of the 2006 spinach-associated outbreak strains, whereas a wild-type rpoS was present in all curli-deficient variants. Consequently curli-expressing variants were much more sensitive to various stress challenges than curli-deficient variants. This loss of general stress fitness appeared solely to be the result of rpoS mutation since the stress resistances could be restored in curli-expressing variants by a functional rpoS. Comparative transcriptomic analyses between the curli variants revealed a large number of differentially expressed genes, characterized by the enhanced expression of metabolic genes in curli-expressing variants, but a marked decrease in transcription of genes related to stress resistances. Unlike the curli-expressing variants of the 1993 US hamburger-associated outbreak strains (Applied Environmental Microbiology 78: 7706-7719), all curli-expressing variants of the 2006 spinach-associated outbreak strains carry a functional rcsB gene, suggesting an alternative mechanism governing intra-strain phenotypic divergence in E. coli O157:H7.

AB  - The competition between the characteristic medium-range order corresponding to amorphous alloys and that in ordered crystalline phases is central to phase selection and morphology evolution under various processing conditions. We examine the stability of a model glass system, Cu–Zr, by comparing the energetics of various medium-range structural motifs over a wide range of compositions using first-principles calculations. We focus specifically on motifs that represent possible building blocks for competing glassy and crystalline phases, and we employ a genetic algorithm to efficiently identify the energetically favored decorations of each motif for specific compositions. Our results show that a Bergman-type motif with crystallization-resisting icosahedral symmetry is energetically most favorable in the composition range 0.63 < x Cu < 0.68, and is the underlying motif for one of the three optimal glass-forming ranges observed experimentally for this binary system (Li et al., 2008). This work establishes an energy-based methodology to evaluate specific medium-range structural motifs which compete with stable crystalline nuclei in deeply undercooled liquids.

AB  - Clopyralid and dicamba are used in Alaska to control certain invasive and agricultural weed species; however they may have an extended soil half-life in interior Alaska resulting in carry-over injury in potatoes. Field studies at experiment stations in Delta Junction, Fairbanks, and Palmer, Alaska were established to determine the dose-response of weeds and above and below ground potato growth to soil-applied clopyralid or dicamba (0, 35, 70, 140, 280, and 560 g ae ha). Both Norwegian cinquefoil ( Potentilla norvegica) and narrowleaf hawksbeard ( Crepis tectorum) were susceptible to clopyralid with over 90 % control in Delta Junction; whereas only flixweed ( Descurainia sophia) was partially controlled (70 %) with dicamba. In Palmer narrowleaf hawksbeard was controlled (87 %) with clopyralid. At Delta Junction and Fairbanks, clopyralid applied at140 g ae ha injured potatoes greater than 25 %, whereas at Palmer visual injury was greater than 25 % at 70 g ae ha. Above ground dicamba injury was greater than 25 % at 140, 70, and 35 g ae ha at Delta Junction, Fairbanks and Palmer, respectively. Potato tuber production was reduced by clopyralid at rates of 35 and 140 g ae ha at Delta Junction and Palmer, respectively. At Delta Junction, dicamba did not reduce potato tuber production, however in Palmer, dicamba rates at 70 g ae ha and greater reduced potato tuber production more than 50 %. Sub-samples of potato tubers from Delta Junction and Palmer were grown out to determine if clopyralid and dicamba content in tubers would reduce subsequent growth. Dicamba at rates of 140 g ae ha or greater injured plants grown from daughter tubers and reduced shoot height, but had no effect on the number of emerged shoots. Clopyralid at all rates injured plants that emerged from daughter tubers and injury increased with increasing rate. At Palmer, clopyralid in daughter tubers rates at 140 g ae ha or greater reduced shoot height and at 280 g ae ha or greater reduced shoot number. At Delta, clopyralid in daughter tubers reduced shoot height at 280 and 560 g ae ha, but had no effect on shoot number. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tanto la cinco-hojas noruega ( Potentilla norvegica) como el esperanto de hoja estrecha ( Crepis tectorum) fueron susceptibles a clopyralid con sobre 90 % de control en Delta Junction; mientras que solo la hierba de santa Sofía ( Descurainia sophia) se controló parcialmente (70 %) con dicamba. En Palmer, el esperanto de hoja estrecha se controló (87 %) con clopyralid. En Delta Junction y Fairbanks, clopyralid aplicado a 140 g ia ha-1 dañó a la papa en algo más del 25 %, mientras que en Palmer el daño visible fue superior al 25 % a 70 g ia ha-1. El daño por dicamba en el follaje fue mayor al 25 % a 140, 70, y 35 g ia ha-1 en Delta Junction, Fairbanks y Palmer, respectivamente. Se redujo la producción del tubérculo por clopyralid a niveles de 35 y 140 g ia ha-1 en Delta Junction y Palmer, respectivamente. En Delta Junction dicamba no redujo la producción de papa, pero en Palmer, niveles de dicamba de 70 g ia ha-1 y mayores, redujeron la producción de tubérculo en más del 50 %. Se sembraron sub-muestras de tubérculo de Delta Junction y Palmer para determinar si el contenido de clopyralid y dicamba en los tubérculos pudieran reducir el crecimiento subsecuente. Dicamba, a niveles de 140 g ia ha-1 o mayores, dañó a las plantas que se desarrollaron de tubérculos hijos y se redujo la altura del tallo, pero no tuvo efecto en el número de tallos que emergieron. Clopyralid a todos los niveles dañó plantas que emergieron de tubérculos hijos y el daño aumentó con el aumento en las dosis. En Palmer, clopyralid en tubérculos hijos de niveles de 140 g ia ha-1 o mayores, redujo la altura del tallo y a 280 g ia ha-1 o mayor redujo el número de tallos. En Delta, clopyralid en tubérculos hijos redujo la altura del tallo a 280 y 560 g ia ha-1, pero no tuvo efecto en el número de tallos. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Growth and longevity of freshwater mussels (Unionida) are important for defining life-history strategies and assessing vulnerability to human impacts. We used mark–recapture and analysis of shell rings to investigate age and growth of the hyriid, Westralunio carteri, at 5 sites in southwestern Australia. We tested the utility of the in situ marker calcein for validating the assumption of annulus formation in adults. Calcein was incorporated into the shells of all recovered individuals, but it provided an interpretable reference mark in only 4 of 16 individuals. These 4 individuals produced 1 shell ring subsequent to the mark, supporting the assumption of annulus production during the austral winter. Maximum age ranged among populations from 36 to 52 y and maximum size ranged from 72.9 to 82.8 mm. Mean age and length did not differ between sexes, and growth trajectories differed between sexes at only 1 site. Estimates of growth measured by the von Bertalanffy growth constant, K, ranged from 0.021 to 0.336 among sites. Estimates from mark–recapture experiments were 20 to 52% lower than values from shell annuli at all sites except 1 where K from shell annuli was ∼½ that estimated from mark–recapture. Both methods showed a positive relationship between K and mean water temperature among sites, suggesting a role of riparian shading in regulating stream temperature, and hence, indirectly influencing mussel growth. Mussel growth and mean N or P concentrations were not related among sites, but total N at the site with highest mussel growth was >2× higher than at any other site. Westralunio carteri is a long-lived, slow-growing bivalve. Maximum age, K, and probable age at maturity (4–6 y) are similar to other slow-growing freshwater bivalve groups. This suite of life-history traits is considered an adaptation for stable aquatic habitats. Therefore, W. carteri can be expected to adapt poorly to human impacts, such as riparian clearing and water extraction, which increase the temporal variability of environmental conditions in streams.

AB  - Perennial plants undergo repression of meristematic activity in a process called dormancy. Dormancy is a complex metabolic process with implications for plant breeding and crop yield. Endodormancy, a specific subclass of dormancy, is characteristic of internal physiological mechanisms resulting in growth suppression. In this study, we examine transcriptional changes associated with the natural cessation of endodormancy in potato tuber meristems and in endodormant tubers treated with the cytokinin analog 1-(α-ethylbenzyl)-3-niroguanidine (NG), which terminates dormancy. RNA-sequencing was used to examine transcriptome changes between endodormant and non-dormant meristems from four different harvest years. A total of 35,091 transcripts were detected with 2132 differentially expressed between endodormant and non-dormant tuber meristems. Endodormant potato tubers were treated with the synthetic cytokinin NG and transcriptome changes analyzed using RNA-seq after 1, 4, and 7 days following NG exposure. A comparison of natural cessation of dormancy and NG-treated tubers demonstrated that by 4 days after NG exposure, potato meristems exhibited transcriptional profiles similar to the non-dormant state with elevated expression of multiple histones, a variety of cyclins, and other genes associated with proliferation and cellular replication. Three homologues encoding for CYCD3 exhibited elevated expression in both non-dormant and NG-treated potato tissues. These results suggest that NG terminates dormancy and induces expression cell cycle-associated transcripts within 4 days of treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The genomes of Amanita jacksonii, Ceratocystis albifundus, a Fusarium circinatum variant, Huntiella omanensis, Leptographium procerum, Sclerotinia echinophila, and Rutstroemia sydowiana are presented in this genome announcement. These seven genomes are from a number of fungal pathogens and economically important species. The genome sizes range from 27 Mb in the case of Ceratocystis albifundus to 51.9 Mb for Rutstroemia sydowiana. The latter also encodes for a predicted 17 350 genes, more than double that of Ceratocystis albifundus. These genomes will add to the growing body of knowledge of these fungi and provide a value resource to researchers studying these fungi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The high voltage spinel form of LiMn 1.5 Ni 0.5 O 4 (LMNO) with a particle size ∼10–40 nm has been synthesized for the first time using high energy mechanical milling (HEMM) followed by low temperature thermal treatments using Li 2 O, MnO 2 and NiO as the starting precursors. The nanostructured LMNO cathode, synthesized by the simple, but effective HEMM process followed by thermal treatments to refine the structure in the temperature range ∼573–1073 K, exhibits a reversible capacity ∼120–110 mAh/g when cycled at a rate of ∼20 mA/g in the potential window ∼3.6–5.1 V. The electrochemical results are comparable to capacity values reported in the literature for LMNO derived using various other methods suggesting the efficacy of HEMM as an attractive and viable alternative approach for synthesizing battery grade high voltage spinel phase, LMNO.

AB  - Improving plant productivity is an important aim for metabolic engineering. There are few comprehensive methods that quantitatively describe leaf metabolism, although such information would be valuable for increasing photosynthetic capacity, enhancing biomass production, and rerouting carbon flux toward desirable end products. Isotopically nonstationary metabolic flux analysis (INST-MFA) has been previously applied to map carbon fluxes in photoautotrophic bacteria, which involves model-based regression of transient 13C-labeling patterns of intracellular metabolites. However, experimental and computational difficulties have hindered its application to terrestrial plant systems. We performed in vivo isotopic labeling of Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes with 13CO2 and estimated fluxes throughout leaf photosynthetic metabolism by INST-MFA. Plants grown at 200 μmol m-2s-1 light were compared with plants acclimated for 9 d at an irradiance of 500 μmol.m-2.s-1. Approximately 1,400 independent mass isotopomer measurements obtained from analysis of 37 metabolite fragment ions were regressed to estimate 136 total fluxes (54 free fluxes) under each condition. The results provide a comprehensive description of changes in carbon partitioning and overall photosynthetic flux after long-term developmental acclimation of leaves to high light. Despite a doubling in the carboxylation rate, the photorespiratory flux increased from 17 to 28% of net CO2 assimilation with high-light acclimation (Vc/Vo: 3.5:1 vs. 2.3:1, respectively). This study highlights the potential of 13C INST-MFA to describe emergent flux phenotypes that respond to environmental conditions or plant physiology and cannot be obtained by other complementary approaches.

AB  - In this work, an effective strategy for engineering the interfacial compatibility between graphene and polylactic acid (PLA) was developed by manipulating the functionalization of graphene and introducing an epoxy-containing elastomer modifier. Curing between the functional groups of the modified graphene and the epoxy groups of the elastomer modifier resulted in controlled dispersion and distribution of graphene in the composite system and hence improved the interfacial adhesion between PLA and graphene. Effects of different graphene functionalization with polymer toughener on morphology, viscoelasticity, and thermal properties of the resulting PLA nanocomposites were thoroughly examined. The resulting percolated structures were the origin of the improved properties of PLA/graphene nanocomposites. The mechanism on property tailoring from interface engineering through dual modifiers are also proposed. Overall, the insight into the interface engineering between the functionalized graphene and the matrix through an elastomer modifier offers a novel way for the future design of graphene polymer nanocomposites.

AB  - A large outbreak of acute muscular sarcocystosis (AMS) among international tourists who visited Tioman Island, Malaysia, is described. Clinicians evaluating travelers returning ill from Malaysia with myalgia, with or without fever, should consider AMS in their differential diagnosis.Background. Through 2 international traveler-focused surveillance networks (GeoSentinel and TropNet), we identified and investigated a large outbreak of acute muscular sarcocystosis (AMS), a rarely reported zoonosis caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Sarcocystis, associated with travel to Tioman Island, Malaysia, during 2011–2012.Methods. Clinicians reporting patients with suspected AMS to GeoSentinel submitted demographic, clinical, itinerary, and exposure data. We defined a probable case as travel to Tioman Island after 1 March 2011, eosinophilia (>5%), clinical or laboratory-supported myositis, and negative trichinellosis serology. Case confirmation required histologic observation of sarcocysts or isolation of Sarcocystis species DNA from muscle biopsy.Results. Sixty-eight patients met the case definition (62 probable and 6 confirmed). All but 2 resided in Europe; all were tourists and traveled mostly during the summer months. The most frequent symptoms reported were myalgia (100%), fatigue (91%), fever (82%), headache (59%), and arthralgia (29%); onset clustered during 2 distinct periods: “early” during the second and “late” during the sixth week after departure from the island. Blood eosinophilia and elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels were observed beginning during the fifth week after departure. Sarcocystis nesbitti DNA was recovered from 1 muscle biopsy.Conclusions. Clinicians evaluating travelers returning ill from Malaysia with myalgia, with or without fever, should consider AMS, noting the apparent biphasic aspect of the disease, the later onset of elevated CPK and eosinophilia, and the possibility for relapses. The exact source of infection among travelers to Tioman Island remains unclear but needs to be determined to prevent future illnesses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - New thin-film Josephson junctions have recently been tested in which the current injected into one of the junction banks governs Josephson phenomena. One thus can continuously manage the phase distribution at the junction by changing the injected current. A method of calculating the distribution of injected currents is proposed for a half-infinite thin-film strip with source-sink points at arbitrary positions at the film edges. The strip width W is assumed small relative to Λ = 2λ21/d; λ is the bulk London penetration depth of the film material and d is the film thickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sunlight exposure has been shown to alter DNA methylation patterns across several human cell-types, including T-lymphocytes. Since epigenetic changes establish gene expression profiles, changes in DNA methylation induced by sunlight exposure warrant investigation. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of sunlight exposure on CD4+ T-cell methylation patterns on an epigenome-wide scale in a North American population of European origin ( n = 991). In addition, we investigated the genetic contribution to epigenetic variation (methylQTL). We used linear regression to test the associations between methylation scores at 461 281 cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and sunlight exposure, followed by a genome-wide association analysis (methylQTL) to test for associations between methylation at the top CpG locus and common genetic variants, assuming an additive genetic model. We observed an epigenome-wide significant association between sunlight exposure and methylation status at cg26930596 ( p = 9.2 × 10−8), a CpG site located in protein kinase C zeta ( PRKCZ), a gene previously shown to be entrained by light. MethylQTL analysis resulted in significant associations between cg26930596 and two intergenic single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 3, rs4574216 ( p = 1.5 × 10−10) and rs4405858 ( p = 1.9 × 10−9). These common genetic variants reside downstream of WWTR1, a transcriptional co-activator of PRKCZ. Associations observed in the North American population, however, did not replicate in an independent Mediterranean cohort. Our preliminary results support the role of sunlight exposure in epigenetic processes, and lay the groundwork for future studies of the molecular link between sunlight and physiologic processes such as tumorigenesis and metabolism.

AB  - This paper summarizes the results of an update to a resource assessment, published in 2005, commonly referred to as the Billion-Ton Study (BTS). The updated results are consistent with the 2005 BTS in terms of overall magnitude. The 2005 BTS projected between 860 and 1240 Tg of biomass available in the 2050 timeframe, while the Billion-Ton Update (BT2), for a price of 66 $ Mg −1 , projected between 994 and 1483 Tg in 2030. For the BT2, forest residue biomass potential was determined to be less owing to tighter restrictions on forest residue supply including restrictions due to limited projected increase in traditional harvest for pulpwood and sawlogs. Crop residue potential was also determined to be less because of the consideration of soil carbon and not allowing residue removal from conventionally tilled corn acres. Energy crop potential was estimated to be much greater largely because of land availability and modeling of competition among various competing uses of the land. Generally, the scenario assumptions in the updated assessment are much more plausible to show a “billion-ton” resource, which would be sufficient to displace 30% or more of the country's present petroleum consumption and provide more than enough biomass to meet the 2022 requirements of the Renewable Fuel Standard.

While in 2D projection imaging the z -dependent information is overlapped, thereby complicating the analysis, FT-IR spectro-micro-tomography, obtained from computed tomographic back projection calculations, results in distinct 3D chemical images that provide detailed information of phase separation of the two polymer components that are well separated.

AB  - Error characterisation of satellite-retrieved soil moisture (SM) is crucial for maximizing their utility in research and applications in hydro-meteorology and climatology. It can provide insights for retrieval development and validation, and inform suitable strategies for data fusion and assimilation. Su et al. (2013a) proposed a potential Fourier method for quantifying the errors based on the difference between the empirical power spectra of these SM data and a water balance model via spectral fitting (SF), circumventing the need for any ancillary data. This work first evaluates its utility by estimating the errors in two passive and active microwave satellite SM over Australia, and comparing the results against the triple collocation (TC) estimator. The SF estimator shows very good agreement with TC in terms of error standard deviation and signal-to-noise ratio, with strong linear correlations of 0.80–0.92 but with lower error estimates. As the two estimators are not strictly comparable, their strong agreement suggests a strong complementarity between time-domain and frequency-domain analyses of errors. A better understanding of the spectral characteristics of the error is still needed to understand their differences. Next, spatial analyses of the derived (SF and TC) error maps, in terms of error standard deviation and noise-to-signal ratio, for the two satellite data are performed with principal component analysis to identify influence of vegetation/leaf-area index (LAI), rainfall, soil wetness, and spatial heterogeneity in topography and soil type on retrieval errors. Lastly, seasonal analysis of the errors discovers systematic temporal variability in errors due to variability in rainfall amount, and less so with changing LAI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on the international effort in the development of the Very High Temperature Reactor system pursued through international collaboration in the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) and an outlook for further activities. The initial motivations to develop this reactor type are recalled, a historical overview is given about technology developments and test reactors since 1945 and several of the targeted non-electric applications of VHTR power are addressed. Cooperation in the frame of GIF is clearly beneficial for all project partners. Initially, a wealth of historical experience was collected and shared in the form of documents, dedicated workshops or fuel and material samples. This exchange included properties data, fabrication, irradiation and post-irradiation testing methods, quality assurance, design and analysis tools and methods, as well as the experience in building and operating related equipment. In the further course of the project execution, time, effort and scarce facilities (such as irradiation space or hot cell equipment) are shared, they accelerate progress and create synergies. Recent highlights from currently active GIF VHTR R&D projects (Materials, Fuel and Fuel Cycle, Hydrogen Production) are then provided and placed into the context of the GIF VHTR signatories' national programs. The majority of these currently focus on licensing requirements for demonstrators of near term process steam production scenarios while more aggressive, longer term and higher temperature applications are mainly pursued to enable thermochemical production of bulk hydrogen. Based on the VHTR's high technology readiness level, orientations for future R&D are outlined which would contribute to enhancing the system's market readiness level. These include work on System Integration and Assessment, Safety Analysis and Demonstration, Waste Minimization and Cost Reductions. The inherent safety characteristics of the VHTR are a precious asset for it to become a strong response to today's concerns of nuclear safety, energy security and climate change.

AB  - The Generation IV International Forum has marked significant progress in developing a next generation of reactor technologies that break out of the limitations of currently deployed nuclear energy systems. In slightly more than 10 years, the Forum down selected to the six most promising systems, forged a powerful framework for multilateral cooperation, organized itself into the necessary functional groups, created four overarching research objectives, established a dozen international projects, and completed hundreds of milestones. The Forum has focused research on viability and performance issues. A revised technology development roadmap completed in 2013 lays out the research agenda for the next decade. This paper summarizes the overall accomplishments of the Forum and the development status of the six advanced reactor systems. Accompanying papers describe the related research and development activities for each system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Woody plants convert the energy of the sun into lignocellulosic biomass, which is an abundant substrate for bioenergy production. Fungi, especially wood decayers from the class Agaricomycetes, have evolved ways to degrade lignocellulose into its monomeric constituents, and understanding this process may facilitate the development of biofuels. Over the past decade genomics has become a powerful tool to study the Agaricomycetes. In 2004 the first sequenced genome of the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium revealed a rich catalog of lignocellulolytic enzymes. In the decade that followed the number of genomes of Agaricomycetes grew to more than 75 and revealed a diversity of wood-decaying strategies. New technologies for high-throughput functional genomics are now needed to further study these organisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Actinobacteria encode a wealth of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters, whose systematic study is complicated by numerous repetitive motifs. By combining several metrics, we developed a method for the global classification of these gene clusters into families (GCFs) and analyzed the biosynthetic capacity of Actinobacteria in 830 genome sequences, including 344 obtained for this project. The GCF network, comprising 11,422 gene clusters grouped into 4,122 GCFs, was validated in hundreds of strains by correlating confident mass spectrometric detection of known small molecules with the presence or absence of their established biosynthetic gene clusters. The method also linked previously unassigned GCFs to known natural products, an approach that will enable de novo, bioassay-free discovery of new natural products using large data sets. Extrapolation from the 830-genome data set reveals that Actinobacteria encode hundreds of thousands of future drug leads, and the strong correlation between phylogeny and GCFs frames a roadmap to efficiently access them.

AB  - The key information processing units within gene regulatory networks are enhancers. Enhancer activity is associated with the production of tissue-specific noncoding RNAs, yet the existence of such transcripts during cardiac development has not been established. Using an integrated genomic approach, we demonstrate that fetal cardiac enhancers generate long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during cardiac differentiation and morphogenesis. Enhancer expression correlates with the emergence of active enhancer chromatin states, the initiation of RNA polymerase II at enhancer loci and expression of target genes. Orthologous human sequences are also transcribed in fetal human hearts and cardiac progenitor cells. Through a systematic bioinformatic analysis, we identified and characterized, for the first time, a catalog of lncRNAs that are expressed during embryonic stem cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes and associated with active cardiac enhancer sequences. RNA-sequencing demonstrates that many of these transcripts are polyadenylated, multi-exonic long noncoding RNAs. Moreover, knockdown of two enhancer-associated lncRNAs resulted in the specific downregulation of their predicted target genes. Interestingly, the reactivation of the fetal gene program, a hallmark of the stress response in the adult heart, is accompanied by increased expression of fetal cardiac enhancer transcripts. Altogether, these findings demonstrate that the activity of cardiac enhancers and expression of their target genes are associated with the production of enhancer-derived lncRNAs.

AB  - The structure of liquid and rapidly quenched amorphous Ag 0.74 Ge 0.26 alloy at the eutectic composition was studied by ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The local structural properties were systematically investigated from the liquid at 1123 K to amorphous solid at 300 K. The pair-correlation function at 976 K from the MD simulations agrees well with the experimental data. The local structures were also analyzed using Honeycutt–Andersen (HA) indices, Voronoi tessellation and the atomic cluster alignment (ACA) method. The HA indices analysis reveals that there is a high population of pentagonal bipyramid structure which become more predominant upon solidification. Voronoi tessellation analysis indicates strong icosahedral short-range order (SRO) in the liquid and amorphous samples generated by the MD simulations. Using the ACA method, the development of icosahedral SRO upon cooling is further confirmed and a Bergman medium-range order is also observed. The analysis of structural properties and chemical short-range order suggests that Ag atoms tend to have a Bergman-like packing, while the dispersed Ge atoms prevent the alloy from forming a long-range order upon cooling. The Bergman medium-range order is also confirmed by the constrained reversed Monte Carlo results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To test the hypotheses that interventions clearly based on theory, multiple theories, or a formal intervention planning process will be more effective in changing fruit and vegetable consumption among children than interventions with no behavioral theoretical foundation. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Identification of articles in PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cochrane Collaborative database, and existing literature reviews and meta-analyses. Participants: Children aged 2–18 years. Interventions: Change in fruit and/or vegetable consumption in dietary change interventions. Methods: Meta-analysis, meta-regression analysis, and summary reporting for articles. Conclusions and Implications: Predicating an intervention on behavioral theory had a small to moderate enhancement (P < .001) of outcome effectiveness. Differences in mean Hedges' g effect sizes between theory and non-theory interventions were 0.232 for fruit, 0.043 for vegetables, and 0.333 for fruit and vegetables combined. There was mixed support, however, for enhanced dietary change with multiple theories or a formal planning process. After controlling for study quality, theory use was related only to vegetable consumption (β = 0.373; P < .001). More research is needed on theory's influences on dietary behaviors to guide future interventions among children.

AB  - Maintaining proper seedling nitrogen status is important for outplanting success. Fall fertilization of evergreen conifer seedlings is a well-known technique for averting nitrogen (N) dilution caused by continued seedling growth during hardening. For deciduous seedlings, this technique is much less understood, and regardless of foliage type, the interaction of N status prior to fall fertilization and the rate of fall fertilization have yet to be fully explored. Therefore, we fertilized Quercus variabilis container seedlings with either 25, 100, or 150 mg total N seedling, applied exponentially, during a 23-week pre-hardening regime, followed by either 0, 12, or 24 mg total N seedling applied during hardening (i.e., fall fertilization) in equal aliquots for 4 weeks. For seedlings without supplemental N during hardening, N concentration in stems and roots increased significantly despite substantial growth. The absence of N dilution was attributed to N translocation from foliage to these tissues, which was independent of pre-hardening N status. Overall, 32 % of foliar N was translocated and accounted for 75 % of the total N increase in stems and roots. Final stem N status was a function of pre-hardening fertilization, whereas root N concentration was affected by the interaction of pre-hardening and fall fertilization. Roots appear to be the main site of N storage, and root N content was significantly affected by pre-hardening and fall fertilization, but not their interaction. A combination of pre-hardening and fall fertilizer at a rate of 100 and 24 mg total N seedling, respectively, yielded seedlings with the largest root systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The contamination of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products has been a concern for the meat industry. In this study, edible chitosan-acid solutions incorporating lauric arginate ester (LAE), sodium lactate (NaL), and sorbic acid (SA) alone or in combinations were developed and coated on polylactic acid (PLA) packaging films. Antimicrobial effects of coated PLA films on the growth of Listeria innocua, L. monocytogenes, and Salmonella Typhimurium in a culture medium (tryptic soy broth, TSB) and on the surface of meat samples were investigated. Antimicrobial PLA films containing 1.94 mg/cm of chitosan and 1.94 μg/cm of LAE were the most effective against both Listeria and Salmonella in TSB and reduced them to undetectable level (<0.69 log CFU/ml). The same PLA films with LAE significantly ( p < 0.05) reduced the growth of L. innocua, L. monocytogenes, and S. Typhimurium on RTE meat during 3 and 5 weeks' storage at 10 °C, achieving 2-3 log reduction of Listeria and 1-1.5 log reduction of Salmonella as compared with controls. PLA films coated with 1.94 mg/cm of chitosan, 0.78 mg/cm of NaL, and 0.12 mg/cm of SA significantly reduced the growth of L. innocua but were less effective against Salmonella. The combination of NaL (0.78 mg/cm) and SA (0.12 mg/cm) with LAE (1.94 μg/cm) did not generate additional or synergetic antimicrobial effect against Listeria or Salmonella on the meat surface. L. innocua had a similar sensitivity to the film treatments as L. monocytogenes, suggesting that L. innocua may be used as a surrogate of L. monocytogenes for further scaleup and validation studies. The film treatments were more effective against the microorganisms in TSB culture medium than in RTE meat, which suggests that in vivo studies are a necessary step to develop antimicrobial packaging for applications in foods.

AB  - Key message: We report a new stripe rust resistance gene on chromosome 7AS in wheat and molecular markers useful for transferring it to other wheat genotypes. Abstract: Several new races of the stripe rust pathogen have established throughout the wheat growing regions of China in recent years. These new races are virulent to most of the designated seedling resistance genes limiting the resistance sources. It is necessary to identify new genes for diversification and for pyramiding different resistance genes in order to achieve more durable resistance. We report here the identification of a new resistance gene, designated as Yr61, in Chinese wheat cultivar Pindong 34. A mapping population of 208 F plants and 128 derived F lines in a cross between Mingxian 169 and Pindong 34 was evaluated for seedling stripe rust response. A genetic map consisting of eight resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP), two sequence-tagged site (STS) and four simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers was constructed. Yr61 was located on the short arm of chromosome 7A and flanked by RGAP markers Xwgp5467 and Xwgp5765 about 1.9 and 3.9 cM in distance, which were successfully converted into STS markers STS5467 and STS5765b, respectively. The flanking STS markers could be used for marker-assisted selection of Yr61 in breeding programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Climate controls vegetation distribution across the globe, and some vegetation types are more vulnerable to climate change, whereas others are more resistant. Because resistance and resilience can influence ecosystem stability and determine how communities and ecosystems respond to climate change, we need to evaluate the potential for resistance as we predict future ecosystem function. In a mixed-grass prairie in the northern Great Plains, we used a large field experiment to test the effects of elevated CO2, warming, and summer irrigation on plant community structure and productivity, linking changes in both to stability in plant community composition and biomass production. We show that the independent effects of CO2 and warming on community composition and productivity depend on interannual variation in precipitation and that the effects of elevated CO2 are not limited to water saving because they differ from those of irrigation. We also show that production in this mixed-grass prairie ecosystem is not only relatively resistant to interannual variation in precipitation, but also rendered more stable under elevated CO2 conditions. This increase in production stability is the result of altered community dominance patterns: Community evenness increases as dominant species decrease in biomass under elevated CO2. In many grasslands that serve as rangelands, the economic value of the ecosystem is largely dependent on plant community composition and the relative abundance of key forage species. Thus, our results have implications for how we manage native grasslands in the face of changing climate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The structure of the orthorhombic Zr2Co11 phase was revisited in the present work. Selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) techniques were used to investigate the structure. They show the orthorhombic Zr2Co11 phase has a 1-D incommensurate modulated structure. The structure can be approximately described as a B-centered orthorhombic lattice. The lattice parameters of the orthorhombic Zr2Co11 phase have been determined by a tilt series of SAED patterns. A hexagonal network with a modulation wave has been observed in the HREM image and the hexagonal motif is considered as the basic structural unit. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The metallic compound MnBi is a promising rare-earth-free permanent magnet material, unique among all candidates for its high intrinsic coercivity (Hci) and its large positive temperature coefficient. The Hci of MnBi in thin-film or powder form can exceed 12 and 26 kOe at 300 and 523 K, respectively. Such a steep rise in Hci with increasing temperature is unique to MnBi. Consequently, MnBi is a highly sought-after hard phase for exchange coupling nanocomposite magnets. However, the reaction between Mn and Bi is peritectic, and hence Mn tends to precipitate out of the MnBi liquid during the solidification process. As result, when the alloy is prepared using conventional induction or arc-melting casting methods, additional Mn is required to compensate the precipitation of Mn. In addition to composition, post-casting annealing plays an important role in obtaining a high content of MnBi low-temperature phase (LTP) because the annealing encourages the Mn precipitates and the unreacted Bi to react, forming the desired LTP phase. Here we report a systematic study of the effect of composition and heat treatments on the phase content and magnetic properties of Mn–Bi alloys. In this study, 14 compositions were prepared using conventional metallurgical methods, and the compositions, crystal structures, phase content and magnetic properties of the resulting alloys were analyzed. The results show that the composition with 55 at.% Mn exhibits both the highest LTP content (93 wt.%) and magnetization (74 emu g −1 with 9 T applied field at 300 K). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The adsorption of selenium (Se) on soil is important because of the relevance of Se to environmental and health issues. The adsorption of Se(IV) and Se(VI) was evaluated on soil samples from São Paulo State, Brazil, as a function of varying pH, and the experimental data were fitted to the constant capacitance model. Adsorption experiments were conducted for 15 soil samples, after the addition of 20 µmol L−1 of either Se(IV) or Se(VI), and the adjusted pH ranged between 2.5 and 10. Selenite adsorption was high for all soils, decreased with increasing pH, and was strongly correlated with Fe and Al oxide content. In contrast, Se(VI) adsorption was very low at pH values commonly found in agricultural soils, except for the highly weathered Rhodic Acrudox. The constant capacitance model fitted the Se(IV) and Se(VI) adsorption data well. Optimizations of mono- and bidentate complexation and surface protonation constants were used for the Se(IV) adsorption data. For Se(VI), optimizations for the 2 monodentate species were employed.

AB  - Various chemical models of ion adsorption are presented and discussed. Chemical models, such as surface complexation models, provide a molecular description of anion adsorption reactions using an equilibrium approach. Two such models, the constant capacitance model and the triple layer model, are described in the present study. Characteristics common to all the surface complexation models are equilibrium constant expressions, mass and charge balances, and surface activity coefficient electrostatic potential terms. Methods for determining parameter values for surface site density, capacitances, and surface complexation constants also are discussed. Spectroscopic experimental methods of establishing ion adsorption mechanisms include vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray reflectivity. Experimental determinations of point of zero charge shifts and ionic strength dependence of adsorption results and molecular modeling calculations also can be used to deduce adsorption mechanisms. Applications of the surface complexation models to heterogeneous natural materials, such as soils, using the component additivity and the generalized composite approaches are described. Emphasis is on the generalized composite approach for predicting anion adsorption by soils. Continuing research is needed to develop consistent and realistic protocols for describing ion adsorption reactions on soil minerals and soils. The availability of standardized model parameter databases for use in chemical speciation-transport models is critical. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:2172-2180.

AB  - Bacterial leaf spot of lettuce, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians, is a devastating disease of lettuce worldwide. Since there are no chemicals available for effective control of the disease, host-plant resistance is highly desirable to protect lettuce production. A total of 179 lettuce genotypes consisting of 29 leaf, 15 crisphead, one stem, 21 romaine, and 113 butterhead types were evaluated for response to X. c. vitians. One source of high resistance and five sources of moderate resistance were identified with four being butterhead lettuce and two leaf lettuce. The population genetic structure based on 350 expressed-sequence-tag-derived single nucleotide polymorphism generated two clades: Clade I and Clade II. The butterhead type was genetically distinct from romaine and crisphead types, while the leaf type was found to frequently exchange genes with other types through the history of breeding. Association mapping identified one single nucleotide polymorphism (QGB19C20.yg-1-OP5) associated with disease severity in Q general linear model and Q + K mixed linear model. Two SNP markers (Contig15389-1-OP1 and Contig6039-19-OP1) were associated with the resistance in the leaf lettuce PI 358000-1 which had no disease symptoms. The marker QGB19C20.yg-1-OP5 is in linkage group 2, while both of Contig15389-1-OP1 and Contig6039-19-OP1 are in linkage group 4. The resistant lines and the associated SNPs should be useful to develop resistant cultivars to battle against the devastating disease in lettuce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background and Aims Assessment of genetic differentiation ( GDF) is currently of great interest in studies of population genetics. The optimum estimators for GDF among E uvitis species have not yet been reported. This study aimed to characterise GDF patterns in E uvitis. Methods and Results Within and among the 29 E uvitis species GDF was analysed using 5800 nuclear single-nucleotide polymorphisms from 30 gene fragments. Mantel tests and principal coordinate analysis ( PCoA) indicated the pairwise differences ( PW) and the corrected mean number of PW have the most potential for assessment of GDF among E uvitis species. All 29 E uvitis species were significantly differentiated from each other ( P < 0.05). Species from Asia and America were assigned to the independent quadrants in the PCoA plots, American species were clustered into two groups and two European species were closer to Asian than to American species. Conclusions The overall GDF pattern of all 29 E uvitis species had a limited distribution in the PCoA plots, suggesting a narrow range of genetic diversity ( GDV) within these 29 species on the whole. Genetic diversity of species varied extensively among the 29 species. Correlation between GDV within and GDF among 29 E uvitis species was not significant. Significance of the Study This study not only adds greatly to our knowledge of the genetic features of E uvitis species but also provides strategies for related studies in other living species.

AB  - Photosynthesis (PSN) is a pigment level process in which antenna pigments (predominately chlorophylls) in chloroplasts absorb photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for the photochemical process. PAR absorbed by foliar non-photosynthetic components is not used for PSN. The fraction of PAR absorbed (fAPAR) by a canopy/vegetation (i.e., fAPAR canopy ) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images, referred to as MOD15A2 FPAR, has been used to compute absorbed PAR (APAR) for PSN (APAR PSN ) which is utilized to produce the standard MODIS gross primary production (GPP) product, referred to as MOD17A2 GPP. In this study, the fraction of PAR absorbed by chlorophyll throughout the canopy (fAPAR chl ) was retrieved from MODIS images for three AmeriFlux crop fields in Nebraska. There are few studies in the literature that compare the performance of MOD15A2 FPAR versus fAPAR chl in GPP estimation. In our study MOD15A2 FPAR and the retrieved fAPAR chl were compared with field fAPAR canopy and the fraction of PAR absorbed by green leaves of the vegetation (fAPAR green ). MOD15A2 FPAR overestimated field fAPAR canopy in spring and in fall, and underestimated field fAPAR canopy in midsummer whereas fAPAR chl correctly captured the seasonal phenology. The retrieved fAPAR chl agreed well with field fAPAR green at early crop growth stage in June, and was less than field fAPAR green in late July, August and September. GPP estimates with fAPAR chl and with MOD15A2 FPAR were compared to tower flux GPP. GPP simulated with fAPAR chl was corroborated with tower flux GPP. Improvements in crop GPP estimation were achieved by replacing MOD15A2 FPAR with fAPAR chl which also reduced uncertainties of crop GPP estimates by 1.12–2.37 g C m − 2 d − 1 .

AB  - Wheat bran arabinoxylan (WBAX) gels entrapping standard model proteins at different mass ratios were formed. The entrapment of protein affected the gel elasticity and viscosity values, which decreased from 177 to 138 Pa. The presence of protein did not modify the covalent cross-links content of the gel. The distribution of protein through the network was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. In mixed gels, protein aggregates forming clusters were detected at protein/polysaccharide ratios higher than 0.25. These clusters were not homogeneously distributed, suggesting that WBAX and protein are located in two different phases. The apparent diffusion coefficient (Dm) of proteins during release from mixed gels was investigated for mass ratios of 0.06 and 0.12. For insulin, Dm increased significantly from 2.64 x 10-7 to 3.20 x 10-7 cm²/s as the mass ratio augmented from 0.06 to 0.12. No significant difference was found for Dm values of ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin released from the mixed gels. The results indicate that homogeneous protein/WBAX gels can be formed at low mass ratios, allowing the estimation of Dm by using an analytical solution of the second Fick's law.

AB  - There is a tremendous need to have perennial and continuous access to cost-effective electricity generated from the intermittent energy sources (wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, wave etc.). This will require development of inexpensive and efficient electrical energy storage (EES) devices such as stationary battery for uninterrupted electricity (power storage back up) and load leveling as well as grid energy storage systems [1-6]. Magnesium based secondary batteries are a viable 'environmental friendly, non-toxic' alternative compared to the immensely popular Li-ion systems owing to its high volumetric capacity (3833mAh/cc for Mg vs. 2046mAh/cc for Li) for stationary EES applications. Following the successful demonstration of a prototype magnesium cell capable of offering energy density ~60Wh/kg in the early 2000, the last decade has witnessed tremendous amount of work dedicated to magnesium battery and its components. The present review is an earnest attempt to collect all of the comprehensive body of research performed in the literature hitherto to develop non-aqueous nucleophilic/non-nucleophilic liquid electrolytes, ionic liquid based polymer as well as solid/gel polymer electrolytes; intercalation/insertion/conversion type cathodes; metallic magnesium and their alloys/intermetallic/composites as anodes; and electronically conductive but chemically and electrochemically inert current collectors for magnesium battery. The limited electrochemical oxidative stability of current generation of electrolytes with inherently slow magnesium-ion diffusion in to electrodes as well as the inability of Mg2+ to reversibly cycle in all but a few materials systems impede the growth of high power and high energy density magnesium cells, analogous to Li-ion systems. Before the successful fabrication of a prototype magnesium battery, optimization of electrolyte performance, the realization of suitable intercalation/insertion cathodes and the identification of alternative alloys, intermetallics, composites and compounds as anodes are highly critical. Exploration of the compatibility of various battery parts including metallic current collectors with currently used organochloro electrolytes sheds light on the electrochemical corrosion of metals such as Cu, Al, stainless steel (SS) toward chlorinated Grignard's salts warranting further investigation for identifying, electrically conducting and electrochemically inert current collectors. Results to date show the preferential selectivity of certain electronically conducting metallic and non-metallic current collectors for rechargeable magnesium batteries owing to its high anodic stability in the present electrolyte. Development of magnesium-ion battery therefore requires an interdisciplinary approach with a sound understanding of organometallic and inorganic chemistry, adequate knowledge of materials chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as electrochemistry, and a comprehensive knowledge of metallic corrosion principles in basic/acidic electrolytic environments in order that a system with acceptable energy density (~150-200Wh/kg) and operational voltage ~2-3V can be developed in the near future.

AB  - The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a popular unicellular organism for studying photosynthesis, cilia biogenesis, and micronutrient homeostasis. Ten years since its genome project was initiated an iterative process of improvements to the genome and gene predictions has propelled this organism to the forefront of the omics era. Housed at Phytozome, the plant genomics portal of the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the most up-to-date genomic data include a genome arranged on chromosomes and high-quality gene models with alternative splice forms supported by an abundance of whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) data. We present here the past, present, and future of Chlamydomonas genomics. Specifically, we detail progress on genome assembly and gene model refinement, discuss resources for gene annotations, functional predictions, and locus ID mapping between versions and, importantly, outline a standardized framework for naming genes.

AB  - The present study demonstrates that consumption of a high-fat diet abrogates the antimetastatic effects of Se and that such an abrogation may involve adipose-derived inflammatory cytokines.We investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with selenium on spontaneous metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma in mice fed a high-fat diet. Mice were fed a low-fat diet or that diet modified with 45% of calories from corn oil and supplemented with 0 or 2.5mg selenium/4029 kcal as methylseleninic acid. After 6 weeks, mice were each injected 2.5 × 105 Lewis lung carcinoma cells subcutaneously. The resulting primary tumor was removed surgically 10 days later; the experiment was terminated after an additional 10 days. High-fat feeding increased pulmonary metastases by 17% compared to the low-fat diet (P < 0.01). Selenium supplementation reduced the metastases by 11% compared to nonsupplemented controls (P < 0.05); the reduction was less for animals fed the high-fat diet (5%) than for those fed the low-fat diet (18%). Supplemental Se lowered plasma concentrations of proteases (urokinase plasminogen activator, P < 0.01; matrix metalloproteinase-9, P < 0.05) and angiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor, P < 0.01; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, P < 0.01) compared to nonsupplemented controls. High-fat feeding increased plasma concentrations of adipokines plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and leptin regardless of the level of dietary selenium; supplemental selenium lowered plasma concentrations of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (P ≤ 0.05) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (P ≤ 0.05) in low-fat fed mice but not in high-fat fed mice. These results indicate that consumption of a high-fat diet abrogated the antimetastatic effects of selenium by increasing the expression of adipose-derived inflammatory cytokines.

AB  - Nanocrystalline NaMn2O4 with a crystallite size of ~8-10 nm exhibiting a new close packed hexagonal crystalline form, different from the known stable orthorhombic (Pbam or Pmnm symmetry) or monoclinic structures common to the Na–Mn–O system, has been synthesized by a high energy mechano-chemical milling process (HEMM) using Na2O2 and Mn2O3 as starting materials. The newly synthesized structure of NaMn2O4 has been studied as a cathode for sodium ion rechargeable batteries. The HEMM derived NaMn2O4 shows a 1st cycle discharge capacity ~75 mAh/g, ~86 mAh/g and ~95 mAh/g when cycled at a rate of ~40 mA/g in the potential window ∼2.0-4.0 V, ~2-4.2 V and ~2-4.5 V, respectively. The nanostructured NaMn2O4 shows a fade in capacity of 0.3% per cycle and a moderate rate capability when cycled in the potential window 2-4 V. However, electrolyte decomposition occurring during charging of the electrode above ~3.8 V needs to be resolved in order utilize the full capacity of NaMn2O4 as well as improve the stability of the electrode.

AB  - The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii, an economically important zoonotic protozoan, was investigated in horses slaughtered for export and human consumption in the North of Romania. Pairs of samples, sera and heart tissues, were collected from 82 slaughtered horses. Examination of horse sera by ELISA at a dilution of 1:10, and by modified agglutination test (MAT) at a dilution of 1:6, revealed that 32 (39%) and 31(37.8%) horses, respectively, had antibodies against T. gondii . Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, T. gondii DNA was not found in any heart sample collected from horses. By bioassay in mice, we obtained viable isolates of T. gondii from two of ten horses determined to be strongly positive by serological assay/ELISA. The prevalence estimated in horses highlighted the potential risk for human contamination by consumption of raw or undercooked meat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The freshwater cnidarian Hydra was first described in 1702 and has been the object of study for 300 years. Experimental studies of Hydra between 1736 and 1744 culminated in the discovery of asexual reproduction of an animal by budding, the first description of regeneration in an animal, and successful transplantation of tissue between animals. Today, Hydra is an important model for studies of axial patterning, stem cell biology and regeneration. Here we report the genome of Hydra magnipapillata and compare it to the genomes of the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis and other animals. The Hydra genome has been shaped by bursts of transposable element expansion, horizontal gene transfer, trans-splicing, and simplification of gene structure and gene content that parallel simplification of the Hydra life cycle. We also report the sequence of the genome of a novel bacterium stably associated with H. magnipapillata. Comparisons of the Hydra genome to the genomes of other animals shed light on the evolution of epithelia, contractile tissues, developmentally regulated transcription factors, the Spemann–Mangold organizer, pluripotency genes and the neuromuscular junction.

AB  - Sequence polymorphisms in a 58-kilobase (kb) interval on chromosome 9p21 confer a markedly increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. The variants have a substantial effect on the epidemiology of CAD and other life-threatening vascular conditions because nearly one-quarter of Caucasians are homozygous for risk alleles. However, the risk interval is devoid of protein-coding genes and the mechanism linking the region to CAD risk has remained enigmatic. Here we show that deletion of the orthologous 70-kb non-coding interval on mouse chromosome 4 affects cardiac expression of neighbouring genes, as well as proliferation properties of vascular cells. Chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice are viable, but show increased mortality both during development and as adults. Cardiac expression of two genes near the non-coding interval, Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b, is severely reduced in chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice, indicating that distant-acting gene regulatory functions are located in the non-coding CAD risk interval. Allele-specific expression of Cdkn2b transcripts in heterozygous mice showed that the deletion affects expression through a cis-acting mechanism. Primary cultures of chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb aortic smooth muscle cells exhibited excessive proliferation and diminished senescence, a cellular phenotype consistent with accelerated CAD pathogenesis. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that the CAD risk interval has a pivotal role in regulation of cardiac Cdkn2a/b expression, and suggest that this region affects CAD progression by altering the dynamics of vascular cell proliferation.

AB  - An online survey was conducted by the International Life Sciences Institute, Food Biotechnology Committee, on the use of qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and Agrobacterium tumefaciens T nos DNA sequence elements for the detection of genetically engineered (GE) crop plant material. Forty-four testing laboratories around the world completed the survey. The results showed the widespread use of such methods, the multiplicity of published and in-house methods, and the variety of reference materials and calibrants in use. There was an interest on the part of respondents in validated quantitative assays relevant to all GE events that contain these two genetic elements. Data are presented by testing two variations each of five published real-time quantitative PCR methods for 35S detection on eight maize reference materials. The results showed that two of the five methods were not suitable for all the eight reference materials, with poor linear regression parameters and multiple PCR amplification products for some of the reference materials. This study demonstrates that not all 35S methods produce satisfactory results, emphasizing the need for method validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To speciate Campylobacter strains from the caeca of chickens in Grenada using PCR and to evaluate DNA-based typing methods for the characterization of these isolates. Methods and Results:  Isolates were speciated with two multiplex PCR assays and were typed with flaA-RFLP, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results confirmed that Campylobacter coli strains were more predominant than Campylobacter jejuni strains. From 56 isolates, 18 were misidentified using biochemical tests. PFGE typing gave the highest discriminatory power among the methods used (Simpson’s index of diversity, D = 0·9061). However, the combination of flaA-RFLP, PFGE and MLST results gave the highest discrimination for subtyping of these isolates ( D =  0·9857). A band position tolerance of 4% in BioNumerics was the most appropriate for the analysis of this database. MLST profiles were generally concordant with PFGE and/or flaA-RFLP types. Several isolates exhibited new MLST sequence types (STs), and 43 of the 49 Camp. coli strains belonged to the ST-828 clonal complex. Conclusions:  Campylobacter coli was the most prevalent species isolated from broilers and layers in Grenada, and a combination of restriction and sequence methods was most appropriate for the typing of Camp. coli isolates. Campylobacter coli STs clustered with described poultry-associated Camp. coli STs by phylogenetic analysis. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Further studies to understand the predominance of Camp. coli within Campylobacter spp. from chickens in Grenada may help elucidate the epidemiology of these pathogens in chickens.

AB  - Species of Aspergillus produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites, and recent genomic analysis has predicted that these species have the capacity to synthesize many more compounds. It has been possible to infer the presence of 55 gene clusters associated with secondary metabolism in Aspergillus flavus; however, only three metabolic pathways—aflatoxin, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and aflatrem—have been assigned to these clusters. To gain an insight into the regulation of and to infer the ecological significance of the 55 secondary metabolite gene clusters predicted in A. flavus, we examined their expression over 28 diverse conditions. Variables included culture medium and temperature, fungal development, colonization of developing maize seeds and misexpression of laeA, a global regulator of secondary metabolism. Hierarchical clustering analysis of expression profiles allowed us to categorize the gene clusters into four distinct clades. Gene clusters for the production of aflatoxins, CPA and seven other unknown compound(s) were identified as belonging to one clade. To further explore the relationships found by gene expression analysis, aflatoxin and CPA production were quantified under five different cell culture environments known to be conducive or nonconducive for aflatoxin biosynthesis and during the colonization of developing maize seeds. Results from these studies showed that secondary metabolism gene clusters have distinctive gene expression profiles. Aflatoxin and CPA were found to have unique regulation, but are sufficiently similar that they would be expected to co-occur in substrates colonized with A. flavus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the importance of total energy intake in circadian system regulation, no study has related human CLOCK gene polymorphisms and food-intake measures. The aim of this study was to analyze the associations of CLOCK single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with food intake and to explore the specific role of the cytokine system. A total of 1100 individual participants in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study were included. Dietary intake was estimated with a validated questionnaire. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-2 soluble receptor-α (IL-2sR-α) and adiponectin plasma concentrations were measured. Our results showed that four of five CLOCK SNPs selected were significantly associated with total energy intake (P<0.05). For SNP rs3749474, the energy intake and total fat, protein and carbohydrate intakes were significantly higher in minor allele carriers than in non-carriers. Frequency of the minor allele was greater in subjects with high energy intake than in those with low intake. Subjects with the minor allele were 1.33 times more likely to have high energy intake than non-carriers (95% CI 1.09–1.72, P=0.0350). All CLOCK SNPs were associated with plasma cytokine values, in particular with those that were highly correlated with energy intake: MCP1, IL-6 and adiponectin. Interestingly, minor allele carriers with high energy intake showed decreased cytokine values, which could be related with a lower anorectic effect and decreased sleep in these subjects. In conclusion, we show a novel association of genetic variation at CLOCK with total energy intake, which was particularly relevant for SNP rs3749474. Associations could be mediated through the alteration of cytokine levels that may influence energy intake and sleep pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In neurons, SNAREs, synaptotagmin and other factors catalyze Ca2+-triggered fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane. The molecular mechanism of this process, especially the interaction between synaptotagmin and SNAREs, remains an enigma. Here we characterized this interaction by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and crystallography. The two rigid Ca2+-binding domains of synaptotagmin 3 (Syt3) undergo large relative motions in solution. Interaction with SNARE complex amplifies a particular state of the two domains that is further enhanced by Ca2+. This state is represented by the first SNARE-induced Ca2+-bound crystal structure of a synaptotagmin fragment containing both domains. The arrangement of the Ca2+-binding loops of this structure of Syt3 matches that of SNARE-bound Syt1, suggesting a conserved feature of synaptotagmins. The loops resemble the membrane-interacting loops of certain viral fusion proteins in the postfusion state, suggesting unexpected similarities between both fusion systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - For most ecosystems, net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) varies within and among years in response to environmental change. We analyzed measurements of CO2 exchange from eight native rangeland ecosystems in the western United States (58 site-years of data) in order to determine the contributions of photosynthetic and respiratory (physiological) components of CO2 exchange to environmentally caused variation in NEE. Rangelands included Great Plains grasslands, desert shrubland, desert grasslands, and sagebrush steppe. We predicted that (1) week-to-week change in NEE and among-year variation in the response of NEE to temperature, net radiation, and other environmental drivers would be better explained by change in maximum rates of ecosystem photosynthesis ( Amax) than by change in apparent light-use efficiency ( α) or ecosystem respiration at 10 °C ( R10) and (2) among-year variation in the responses of NEE, Amax, and α to environmental drivers would be explained by changes in leaf area index (LAI). As predicted, NEE was better correlated with Amax than α or R10 for six of the eight rangelands. Week-to-week variation in NEE and physiological parameters correlated mainly with time-lagged indices of precipitation and water-related environmental variables, like potential evapotranspiration, for desert sites and with net radiation and temperature for Great Plains grasslands. For most rangelands, the response of NEE to a given change in temperature, net radiation, or evaporative demand differed among years because the response of photosynthetic parameters ( Amax, α) to environmental drivers differed among years. Differences in photosynthetic responses were not explained by variation in LAI alone. A better understanding of controls on canopy photosynthesis will be required to predict variation in NEE of rangeland ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Introduction:The success of obesity therapy is dependent on the genetic background of the patient. Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK), one of the transcription factors from the positive limb of the molecular clock, is involved in metabolic alterations.Objective:To investigate whether five candidate polymorphisms from CLOCK were associated with anthropometric, metabolic measures and weight loss in response to a behavioural weight reduction programme based on the Mediterranean diet.Methods:Five hundred overweight/obese subjects, aged 20–65 years, who attended outpatient clinics specializing in obesity, were studied. Anthropometric, biochemical and dietary intake variables were analysed. Effectiveness of the programme and weight loss progression during 28 weeks of treatment was assessed.Results:Four of five CLOCK SNPs selected were significantly associated with obesity variables (P<0.05). The genetic variation in the rs1801260 CLOCK was associated with obesity at baseline and also affected weight loss. Patients with the variant allele (G) lost significantly less weight i(P=0.008) compared with wild type. Repeated measures analysis showed that weight loss over time was significantly different between rs1801260 CLOCK variations (P=0.038). Carriers of the G allele displayed greater difficulty in losing weight than non-carriers. In this particular polymorphism, the frequency of short-time sleepers (6 h per day) was greater in minor allele carriers than in non-carriers (59% vs 41%; P<0.05). CLOCK polymorphisms were also associated with significant differences in total plasma cholesterol at the completion of dietary treatment (P<0.05).Conclusions:We have replicated previous studies showing a relationship between CLOCK gene polymorphisms and obesity. CLOCK rs1801260 SNP may predict the outcome of body weight reduction strategies based on low-energy diets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - One of the central predictions of metric theories of gravity, such as general relativity, is that a clock in a gravitational potential U will run more slowly by a factor of 1 + U/c2, where c is the velocity of light, as compared to a similar clock outside the potential. This effect, known as gravitational redshift, is important to the operation of the global positioning system, timekeeping and future experiments with ultra-precise, space-based clocks (such as searches for variations in fundamental constants). The gravitational redshift has been measured using clocks on a tower, an aircraft and a rocket, currently reaching an accuracy of 7 × 10-5. Here we show that laboratory experiments based on quantum interference of atoms enable a much more precise measurement, yielding an accuracy of 7 × 10-9. Our result supports the view that gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, an underlying principle of general relativity that has come under scrutiny in connection with the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Improving the redshift measurement is particularly important because this test has been the least accurate among the experiments that are required to support curved space-time theories.

AB  - This paper explores whether cash transfer programmes conditioned on human capital outcomes can influence agricultural production. Programme impact on food consumption from own production, land use, livestock ownership, and agricultural spending are evaluated using first difference and weighted estimators, in which weights are constructed from propensity scores. The programme is found to increase the value and variety of food consumed from own production and to increase land use, livestock ownership and crop spending. Impact estimates are found to differ across land use categories and PROCAMPO participation. Results support the hypothesis that transfers influence agricultural production and impacts are greater for households invested in agriculture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The generalized second-grade fluids, which have been used for modeling the creep of ice and the flow of coal-water and coal-oil slurries, are among the simplest non-Newtonian fluid models that can describe shear-thinning/thickening and exhibit normal stress effects. In this article, we conduct thermodynamic analysis on a class of generalized second-grade fluids, one distinguishing feature of which is the existence of a constitutive function Φ that describes frictional heating. We work within the framework of Serrin’s original formulation of neoclassical thermodynamics, where internal energy and entropy functions, if they exist for a continuous body at all, are to be derived from the classical First Law and (quantitatively reformulated) Second Law of thermodynamics for cycles. For the class of generalized second-grade fluids in question, we show from the First Law that an internal energy density u exists, and we derive the equation of energy balance; from the Second Law, we demonstrate the existence of an entropy density s and derive the Clausius–Duhem inequality that it satisfies. We obtain explicit expressions for u, s and the frictional heating Φ, and derive thermodynamic restrictions on the material functions of temperature μ, α1, and α2 that appear in the constitutive relation for the Cauchy stress. For the special case of second-grade fluids, our expressions for u and s agree with those which Dunn and Fosdick [6] derived under the theoretical framework of the rational thermodynamics of Coleman and Noll.

AB  - Background: Compared with other common plant foods, walnuts (Juglans regia) are consistently ranked among the highest in antioxidant capacity. In vitro, walnut polyphenols inhibit plasma and LDL oxidation, while in animal models they lower biomarkers of oxidative stress and raise antioxidant capacity. A limited number of human feeding trials indicate that walnuts improve some measures of antioxidant status, but not others. Methods: A 19 wk, randomized crossover trial was conducted in 21 generally healthy men and postmenopausal women ⩾50 y to study the dose-response effects of walnut intake on biomarkers of antioxidant activity, oxidative stress, and nutrient status. Subjects were randomized to receive either 21 or 42 g raw walnuts/d during each 6 wk intervention phase with a 6 wk washout between phases. Subjects were instructed to consume their usual diet, but refrain from eating any other tree nuts, seeds, peanuts, or ellagitannin-rich foods during the entire study, and other polyphenol-rich foods for 2 d prior to each study visit. Results: Compared to baseline levels, red blood cell (RBC) linoleic acid and plasma pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) were significantly higher after 6 wk with 42 g/d walnuts (P < 0.05 for both). Overall, changes in plasma total thiols, and other antioxidant biomarkers, were not significant with either walnut dose. However, when compared to fasting levels, plasma total thiols were elevated within 1 h of walnut consumption with both doses during the baseline and end visits for each intervention phase (P < 0.05 for all). Despite the observed increase in RBC linoleic and linolenic acids associated with walnut consumption, this substrate for lipid peroxidation only minimally affected malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant capacity. The proportional changes in MDA and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) were consistent with a dose-response effect, although no significant within- or between-group differences were observed for these measures. Conclusions: Walnut consumption did not significantly change the plasma antioxidant capacity of healthy, wellnourished older adults in this pilot study. However, improvements in linoleic acid and pyridoxal phosphate were observed with chronic consumption, while total plasma thiols were enhanced acutely. Future studies investigating the antioxidant effects of walnuts in humans are warranted, but should include either a larger sample size or a controlled feeding intervention.

T1  - How common is ecological speciation in plantfeeding insects? A `Higher' Nematinae perspective.

AB  - Background: Ecological speciation is a process in which a transiently resource-polymorphic species divides into two specialized sister lineages as a result of divergent selection pressures caused by the use of multiple niches or environments. Ecology-based speciation has been studied intensively in plant-feeding insects, in which both sympatric and allopatric shifts onto novel host plants could speed up diversification. However, while numerous examples of species pairs likely to have originated by resource shifts have been found, the overall importance of ecological speciation in relation to other, non-ecological speciation modes remains unknown. Here, we apply phylogenetic information on sawflies belonging to the 'Higher' Nematinae (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) to infer the frequency of niche shifts in relation to speciation events. Results: Phylogenetic trees reconstructed on the basis of DNA sequence data show that the diversification of higher nematines has involved frequent shifts in larval feeding habits and in the use of plant taxa. However, the inferred number of resource shifts is considerably lower than the number of past speciation events, indicating that the majority of divergences have occurred by non-ecological allopatric speciation; based on a time-corrected analysis of sister species, we estimate that a maximum of c. 20% of lineage splits have been triggered by a change in resource use. In addition, we find that postspeciational changes in geographic distributions have led to broad sympatry in many species having identical host-plant ranges. Conclusion: Our analysis indicates that the importance of niche shifts for the diversification of herbivorous insects is at present implicitly and explicitly overestimated. In the case of the Higher Nematinae, employing a time correction for sister-species comparisons lowered the proportion of apparent ecology-based speciation events from c. 50-60% to around 20%, but such corrections are still lacking in other herbivore groups. The observed convergent but asynchronous shifting among dominant northern plant taxa in many higher-nematine clades, in combination with the broad overlaps in the geographic distributions of numerous nematine species occupying near-identical niches, indicates that host-plant shifts and herbivore community assembly are largely unconstrained by direct or indirect competition among species. More phylogeny-based studies on connections between niche diversification and speciation are needed across many insect taxa, especially in groups that exhibit few host shifts in relation to speciation.

AB  - Human exposure models often make the simplifying assumption that school children attend school in the same census tract where they live. This paper analyzes that assumption and provides information on the temporal and spatial distributions associated with school commuting. The data were obtained using Oak Ridge National Laboratory's LandScan USA population distribution model applied to Philadelphia, PA. It is a high-resolution model used to allocate individual school-aged children to both a home and school location, and to devise a minimum-time home-to-school commuting path (called a trace) between the two locations. LandScan relies heavily on Geographic Information System (GIS) data. With respect to school children attending school in their home census tract, the vast majority does not in Philadelphia. Our analyses found that: (1) about 32% of the students walk across two or more census tracts going to school and 40% of them walk across four or more census blocks; and (2) 60% drive across four or more census tracts going to school and 50% drive across 10 or more census blocks. We also find that: (3) using a 5-min commuting time interval — as opposed to the modeled “trace” — results in misclassifying the “actual” path taken in 90% of the census blocks, 70% of the block groups, and 50% of the tracts; (4) a 1-min time interval is needed to reasonably resolve time spent in the various census unit designations; and (5) approximately 50% of both the homes and schools of Philadelphia school children are located within 160 m of highly traveled roads, and 64% of the schools are located within 200 m. These findings are very important when modeling school children's exposures, especially, when ascertaining the impacts of near-roadway concentrations on their total daily body burden. As many school children also travel along these streets and roadways to get to school, a majority of children in Philadelphia are in mobile source-dominated locations most of the day. We hypothesize that exposures of school children in Philadelphia to benzene and particulate matter will be much higher than if home and school locations and commuting paths at a 1-min time resolution are not explicitly modeled in an exposure assessment. Undertaking such an assessment will be the topic of a future paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Oxytetracycline ((2Z,4S,4aR,5S,5aR,6S,12aS)-2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a member of tetracycline antibiotics family and is widely administered to farm animals for the purpose of therapeutical treatment and health protection. Increasing attention has been paid to the environmental fate of oxytetracycline and other veterinary antibiotics with the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment. The hydrolysis and photolysis degradation of oxytetracycline was investigated in this study. Oxytetracycline hydrolysis was found to obey the first-order model and similar rate constant values ranging from 0.094 ± 0.001 to 0.106 ± 0.003 day- 1 were obtained at different initial concentration ranging from 10 to 230 μ M. Solution pH and temperature were shown to have remarked effects on oxytetracycline hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in pH neutral solution appeared to be much faster than in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Oxytetracycline half-life decreased from 1.2 × 102 to 0.15 day with the increasing temperature from 4 ± 0.8 to 60 ± 1°C. The presence of Ca2 + made oxytetracycline hydrolytic degradation kinetics deviate from the simple first-order model to the availability-adjusted first-order model and greatly slowed down the hydrolysis. Oxytetracycline photolysis was found to be very fast with a degradation rate constant at 3.61 ± 0.06 day- 1, which is comparable to that of hydrolysis at 60°C. The presence of Ca2 + accelerated oxytetracycline photolysis, implying that oxytetracycline become more vulnerable to sunlight irradiation after chelating with Ca2 +. The photolysis may be the dominant degradation pathway of oxytetracycline in shallow transparent water environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The production of pediocin in milk by Pediococcus acidilactici was evaluated in co-culture with the dairy fermentation cultures Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. The cultures were tested singly and in different combinations in milk (0 or 2% fat content) during incubation at 40°C for up to 10 h. Cell-free milk samples taken every 60 min were tested for bacteriocin activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Pediocin activity was not detectable when P. acidilactici was inoculated into milk as a monoculture. When P. acidilactici was grown in combination with the yogurt starter cultures S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, pediocin concentration reached 3,200–6,400 units ml−1 after 8 h of incubation. The results showed that pediocin producing pediococci may be useful adjunct components in mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus to amplify the bioprotective properties of fermented dairy foods against Listeria contamination.

AB  - Background: Previous studies have shown that acute intake of high-phenol virgin olive oil reduces pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and pro-thrombotic markers compared with low phenols virgin olive oil, but it still remains unclear whether effects attributed to its phenolic fraction are exerted at transcriptional level in vivo. To achieve this goal, we aimed at identifying expression changes in genes which could be mediated by virgin olive oil phenol compounds in the human. Results: Postprandial gene expression microarray analysis was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells during postprandial period. Two virgin olive oil-based breakfasts with high (398 ppm) and low (70 ppm) content of phenolic compounds were administered to 20 patients suffering from metabolic syndrome following a doubleblinded, randomized, crossover design. To eliminate the potential effect that might exist in their usual dietary habits, all subjects followed a similar low-fat, carbohydrate rich diet during the study period. Microarray analysis identified 98 differentially expressed genes (79 underexpressed and 19 overexpressed) when comparing the intake of phenol-rich olive oil with low-phenol olive oil. Many of these genes seem linked to obesity, dyslipemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among these, several genes seem involved in inflammatory processes mediated by transcription factor NF-κB, activator protein-1 transcription factor complex AP-1, cytokines, mitogen-activated protein kinases MAPKs or arachidonic acid pathways. Conclusion: This study shows that intake of virgin olive oil based breakfast, which is rich in phenol compounds is able to repress in vivo expression of several pro-inflammatory genes, thereby switching activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to a less deleterious inflammatory profile. These results provide at least a partial molecular basis for reduced risk of cardiovascular disease observed in Mediterranean countries, where virgin olive oil represents a main source of dietary fat. Admittedly, other lifestyle factors are also likely to contribute to lowered risk of cardiovascular disease in this region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Transposable elements are the most abundant components of all characterized genomes of higher eukaryotes. It has been documented that these elements not only contribute to the shaping and reshaping of their host genomes, but also play significant roles in regulating gene expression, altering gene function, and creating new genes. Thus, complete identification of transposable elements in sequenced genomes and construction of comprehensive transposable element databases are essential for accurate annotation of genes and other genomic components, for investigation of potential functional interaction between transposable elements and genes, and for study of genome evolution. The recent availability of the soybean genome sequence has provided an unprecedented opportunity for discovery, and structural and functional characterization of transposable elements in this economically important legume crop. Description: Using a combination of structure-based and homology-based approaches, a total of 32,552 retrotransposons (Class I) and 6,029 DNA transposons (Class II) with clear boundaries and insertion sites were structurally annotated and clearly categorized, and a soybean transposable element database, SoyTEdb, was established. These transposable elements have been anchored in and integrated with the soybean physical map and genetic map, and are browsable and visualizable at any scale along the 20 soybean chromosomes, along with predicted genes and other sequence annotations. BLAST search and other infrastracture tools were implemented to facilitate annotation of transposable elements or fragments from soybean and other related legume species. The majority (> 95%) of these elements (particularly a few hundred low-copy-number families) are first described in this study. Conclusion: SoyTEdb provides resources and information related to transposable elements in the soybean genome, representing the most comprehensive and the largest manually curated transposable element database for any individual plant genome completely sequenced to date. Transposable elements previously identified in legumes, the third largest family of flowering plants, are relatively scarce. Thus this database will facilitate structural, evolutionary, functional, and epigenetic analyses of transposable elements in soybean and other legume species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Two thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) were previously identified in phloem exudate of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x P. deltoides) using proteomics methods, and their sieve element localization confirmed by immunofluorescence. In the current study, we analyzed different tissues to further understand TLP expression and localization in poplar, and used immunogold labelling to determine intracellular localization. Results: Immunofluorescence using a TLP antiserum confirmed the presence of TLP in punctate, organelle-like structures within sieve elements. On western blots, the antiserum labeled two constitutively expressed proteins with distinct expression patterns. Immunogold labelling suggested that TLPs are associated with starch granules and starch-containing plastids in sieve elements and phloem parenchyma cells. In addition, the antiserum recognized TLPs in the inner cell wall and sieve plate region of sieve elements. Conclusions: TLP localization in poplar cells and tissues is complex. TLP1 is expressed predominantly in tissues with a prominent vascular system such as midveins, petioles and stems, whereas the second TLP is primarily expressed in starch-storing plastids found in young leaves and the shoot apex.

AB  - Background: The construction of genetic linkage maps for cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has and continues to be an important research goal to facilitate quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and gene tagging for use in a marker-assisted selection in breeding. Even though a few maps have been developed, they were constructed using diploid or interspecific tetraploid populations. The most recently published intra-specific map was constructed from the cross of cultivated peanuts, in which only 135 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were sparsely populated in 22 linkage groups. The more detailed linkage map with sufficient markers is necessary to be feasible for QTL identification and marker-assisted selection. The objective of this study was to construct a genetic linkage map of cultivated peanut using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers derived primarily from peanut genomic sequences, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and by "data mining" sequences released in GenBank. Results: Three recombinant inbred lines (RILs) populations were constructed from three crosses with one common female parental line Yueyou 13, a high yielding Spanish market type. The four parents were screened with 1044 primer pairs designed to amplify SSRs and 901 primer pairs produced clear PCR products. Of the 901 primer pairs, 146, 124 and 64 primer pairs (markers) were polymorphic in these populations, respectively, and used in genotyping these RIL populations. Individual linkage maps were constructed from each of the three populations and a composite map based on 93 common loci were created using JoinMap. The composite linkage maps consist of 22 composite linkage groups (LG) with 175 SSR markers (including 47 SSRs on the published AA genome maps), representing the 20 chromosomes of A. hypogaea. The total composite map length is 885.4 cM, with an average marker density of 5.8 cM. Segregation distortion in the 3 populations was 23.0%, 13.5% and 7.8% of the markers, respectively. These distorted loci tended to cluster on LG1, LG3, LG4 and LG5. There were only 15 EST-SSR markers mapped due to low polymorphism. By comparison, there were potential synteny, collinear order of some markers and conservation of collinear linkage groups among the maps and with the AA genome but not fully conservative. Conclusion: A composite linkage map was constructed from three individual mapping populations with 175 SSR markers in 22 composite linkage groups. This composite genetic linkage map is among the first "true" tetraploid peanut maps produced. This map also consists of 47 SSRs that have been used in the published AA genome maps, and could be used in comparative mapping studies. The primers described in this study are PCR-based markers, which are easy to share for genetic mapping in peanuts. All 1044 primer pairs are provided as additional files and the three RIL populations will be made available to public upon request for quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis and linkage map improvement.

AB  - An environmental survey of tabanid host spiroplasma carriage was undertaken at 10 collection sites in Australia during February 1999. A total of 164 tabanid flies, representing 27 species, were collected and sustainable spiroplasma isolations were made from 48 of the flies. The morphology of the cultured spiroplasmas, as observed in M1D medium under dark-field microscopy, was typical of either (i) Apis group spiroplasmas (relatively thick cells (~150 nm) with six or more turns) or (ii) chrysopicola-syrphidicola-TAAS-1 clade spiroplasmas (narrower, often much shorter cells) serologically related to Spiroplasma serogroup VIII. Repetitive serological analyses, involving successive rounds of dilution cloning and serological reevaluation, identified one serotype referable to the Spiroplasma serogroup VIII strain complex and five putative members of the Apis clade. Apis clade placement for these five groups was verified using 16S rRNA phylogenetic analyses. Among the Apis clade members, one serotype representing 11 isolates was identified as a geographic variant of Spiroplasma turonicum. Spiroplasma turonicum (Tab4C) was originally isolated from a tabanid Haematopoda sp. in France. The other 34 isolates represented four new serogroups (= putative species). The following strains are proposed as representatives of the new serogroups: strain GSU5478 (group XXXIX), strain GSU5490 (group XL), strain GSU5508 (group XLI), and strain GSU5603 (group XLII). In summary, six serogroups were observed from isolations originating from seven distinct sample sites in Australia. Surprisingly, the serotype with the greatest geographical range (five sites from 16°48.9′S to 35°40.0′S) and the greatest host diversity (nine species over three genera) was the geographic variant of S. turonicum, which had only been reported previously in France.

AB  - Une enquête environnementale de la transmission du spiroplasme des tabanides été réalisée sur 10 sites de récolte en Australie en février 1999. Un total de 164 tabanides représentant 27 espèces a été récolté et des isolements récurrents de spiroplasmes ont été faits sur 48 des mouches. La morphologie des spiroplasmes en culture, telle qu’observée dans le milieu M1D en microscopie sur fond noir, était typique soit (i) des spiroplasmes du groupe Apis (cellules relativement épaisses (~150 nm) possédant six vrilles ou plus) ou (ii) des spiroplasmes du clade des chrysopicola-syrphidocola-TAAS-1 (cellules plus étroites, souvent beaucoup plus courtes) reliées d’un point de vue sérologique aux Spiroplasma du groupe VIII. Des analyses sérologiques répétées impliquant plusieurs rondes de clonage par dilution et de réévaluation sérologique ont permis d’identifier un type sérologique attribuable aux Spiroplasma du groupe sérologique VIII, et cinq membres présumés du clade Apis. L’insertion de ces cinq groupes dans le clade Apis a été vérifiée par des analyses phylogéniques de l’ARNr 16S. Parmi les membres du clade Apis, un type sérologique représentant 11 isolats a été identifié comme un variant géographique de Spiroplasma turonicum. Spiroplasma turonicum (Tab4C) a été initialement isolé d’un Tabanidé Haematopoda sp. en France. Les 34 autres isolats représentaient quatre nouveaux groupes sérologiques (= espèces présumées). Les souches suivantes sont proposées comme représentatives de ces nouveaux groupes sérologiques : la souche GSU5478 (groupe XXXIX), la souche GSU5490 (groupe XL), la souche GSU5508 (groupe XLI) et la souche GSU5603 (groupe XLII). En résumé, six nouveaux groupes sérologiques ont été observés à la suite d’isolements réalisés sur sept sites d’échantillonnage distincts en Australie. Étonnamment, le type sérologique possédant le plus grand spectre géographique (cinq sites de 16°48,9′S à 35°40,0′S) et la plus grande diversité d’hôtes (neuf espèces appartenant à trois genres) était le variant géographique de S. turonicum, qui n’avait été initialement rapporté qu’en France.

AB  - Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex determination studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Cucumis sativus var. sativus L., assembled using a novel combination of traditional Sanger and next-generation Illumina GA sequencing technologies to obtain 72.2-fold genome coverage. The absence of recent whole-genome duplication, along with the presence of few tandem duplications, explains the small number of genes in the cucumber. Our study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo. The sequenced cucumber genome affords insight into traits such as its sex expression, disease resistance, biosynthesis of cucurbitacin and 'fresh green' odor. We also identify 686 gene clusters related to phloem function. The cucumber genome provides a valuable resource for developing elite cultivars and for studying the evolution and function of the plant vascular system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective of this study was to determine the Vrn- 1 allelic composition of spring wheat germplasm from the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. Individual plants from 56 spring wheat lines were crossed to near-isogenic tester lines carrying the dominant allele Vrn-A1, Vrn-B1 or Vrn-D1. F2 progeny were evaluated for growth habit in the field and Vrn-1 allelic composition was determined through chi-square analysis. Lines also were analysed with DNA sequence-based Vrn-1 allele-specific markers. A majority of the germplasm carried the dominant allele Vrn-A1a alone or in combination with Vrn-B1, Vrn-D1 or Vrn-B3 alleles. Vrn-B1 and Vrn-D1 were almost always associated with other dominant Vrn-1 allele(s). Based on DNA sequence analysis, a novel Vrn-B1 allele referred to as Vrn-B1b, which carried a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and a 36 bp deletion, was identified in cultivar ‘Alpowa’. These results will be useful to wheat breeders for choosing parents with different Vrn-1 alleles for crossing to maximize diversity at the Vrn-1 loci with an expectation of identifying superior Vrn-1 allelic combinations for cultivar improvement.

AB  - The movement of humans and goods has facilitated the arrival of non-native insects, some of which successfully establish and cause negative consequences to the composition, services, and functioning of ecosystems. The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), is currently invading North American forests at variable rates, spreading by local and long-distance movement in a process known as stratified dispersal. Newly arriving colonizers often occur considerably ahead of the population front, and a key question is the degree to which they successfully establish. Prior research has highlighted mate-finding failures in sparse populations as a cause of an Allee effect (positive density dependence). We explored this mechanism by measuring the relationship between female mating success and background male moth densities along the gypsy moth western front in Northern Wisconsin (USA) over 2 years. The mating results were then compared with analogous previous studies in southern Wisconsin, and the southern front in West Virginia and Virginia (USA). Mate-finding failures in low-density populations were consistently observed to be density-dependent across all years and locations. Mate-finding failures in low-density populations have important ramifications to invasive species management, particularly in predicting species invasiveness, preventing successful establishment by small founder populations, and concentrating eradication efforts where they are most likely to succeed.

AB  - Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus are potent carcinogens that contaminate agricultural crops. Recent efforts to reduce aflatoxin concentrations in crops have focused on biological control using nonaflatoxigenic A. flavus strains AF36 (=NRRL 18543) and NRRL 21882 (the active component of afla-guard®). However, the evolutionary potential of these strains to remain nonaflatoxigenic in nature is unknown. To elucidate the underlying population processes that influence aflatoxigenicity, we examined patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) spanning 21 regions in the aflatoxin gene cluster of A. flavus. We show that recombination events are unevenly distributed across the cluster in A. flavus. Six distinct LD blocks separate late pathway genes aflE, aflM, aflN, aflG, aflL, aflI and aflO, and there is no discernable evidence of recombination among early pathway genes aflA, aflB, aflC, aflD, aflR and aflS. The discordance in phylogenies inferred for the aflW/aflX intergenic region and two noncluster regions, tryptophan synthase and acetamidase, is indicative of trans-species evolution in the cluster. Additionally, polymorphisms in aflW/aflX divide A. flavus strains into two distinct clades, each harbouring only one of the two approved biocontrol strains. The clade with AF36 includes both aflatoxigenic and nonaflatoxigenic strains, whereas the clade with NRRL 21882 comprises only nonaflatoxigenic strains and includes all strains of A. flavus missing the entire gene cluster or with partial gene clusters. Our detection of LD blocks in partial clusters indicates that recombination may have played an important role in cluster disassembly, and multilocus coalescent analyses of cluster and noncluster regions indicate lineage-specific gene loss in A. flavus. These results have important implications in assessing the stability of biocontrol strains in nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich), a ciliated protozoan parasite of fish, expresses surface antigens (i-antigens), which react with host antibodies that render them immobile. The nucleotide sequence of an i-antigen gene of I. multifiliis strain ARS-6 was deduced. The predicted protein of 47 493 Da is comprised of 460 amino acids (aa's) arranged into five imperfect repeats with periodic cysteine residues with the structure: CX(19)20CX2CX16−27CX2CX20(21)CX3. The N-terminal aa's typify a signal peptide motif while a stretch of C-terminal aa's resemble a glycosyl–phosphatidyl–inositol (GPI)-anchor addition site. The degree of deduced i-antigen aa sequence identity of strain ARS-6 (GenBank accession # ACH87654 and # ACH95659) with other I. multifiliis i-antigen sequences present in GenBank ranges from 99% to 36% identity with 52 kDa i-antigens of I. multifiliis strain G5 (accession #s AAK94941 and AAK01661 respectively). Immunoblot analysis of i-antigens following exposure of I. multifiliis theronts to catfish anti- I. multifiliis immune serum did not show any appreciable alteration in i-antigen expression. The mechanism that regulates i-antigen expression in I. multifiliis remains a puzzling question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Primary objective To characterize the diets of low-income inner-city African Americans to develop a population-specific quantitative food frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) that will be used to highlight foods and nutrients for a nutritional intervention program aimed at reducing the risk of chronic disease and to evaluate the program. Methods and procedures A cross-sectional survey conducted in inner-city Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls were collected in 91 low-income African Americans aged between 18 and 74 years. Main outcomes and results The average daily energy intake was approximately 2,165 kcal for women and 2,509 kcal for men. The percentages of energy from fat were approximately 34% and 33% for women and men, respectively. Sodas were the main contributor to energy and sugar intake. A 113-item QFFQ was developed. Conclusions The results highlighted specific foods and nutrients that would be targeted in the nutritional intervention. The QFFQ developed is culturally appropriate and specific for low-income African Americans in inner-city Baltimore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ginger has been used as a food, dietary supplement, and condiment for centuries. Mycotoxins such as the aflatoxins (AF) and ochratoxin A (OTA) have been reported in ginger roots in several studies. It is important to design effective sampling methods that will accurately and precisely predict the true mycotoxin level in a bulk lot. The objective of this study was to measure the sampling and analytical variability associated with the test procedure used to measure AF and OTA in a bulk lot of powdered ginger using a 5-g laboratory sample and HPLC analytical methods. Twelve 5-g laboratory samples were taken from each of two lots. Duplicate aliquots were removed from each 5-g laboratory sample/solvent blend, and each aliquot was simultaneously analyzed for AF and OTA by HPLC analytical methods. Using a balanced nested design, the total variance associated with the above AF and OTA test procedures was partitioned into sampling and analytical variance components for each lot. Averaged across both lots, the sampling and analytical variances accounted for 87% and 13% of the total variance, respectively, for AF and 97% and 3%, respectively, for OTA. The sampling and analytical coefficients of variation were 9.5% and 3.6%, respectively, for AF, and 16.6% and 2.9%, respectively, for OTA when using a single 5-g laboratory sample and HPLC analytical methods. Equations are derived to show the effect of increasing laboratory sample size and/or number of aliquots on reducing the variability of the test procedures used to estimate OTA and AF in powdered ginger.

AB  - The social parasite ant Solenopsis daguerrei infests colonies of several mound-building fire ant species. Twenty-four microsatellite markers were isolated from a repeat-enriched genomic library of S. daguerrei. Eleven loci were polymorphic in this ant with two to six alleles per locus. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.0222 to 0.7940 among loci. Most microsatellites amplified successfully across the 11 Solenopsis species tested and will be useful for evolutionary genetic studies in this diverse ant group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pichia pastoris was reassigned earlier to the genus Komagataella following phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences. Since that time, two additional species of Komagataella have been described, K. pseudopastoris and K. phaffii. Because these three species are unlikely to be resolved from the standard fermentation and growth tests used in yeast taxonomy, the identity of biotechnologically important strains of K. pastoris was determined from multigene sequence analyses. Results from this study show that the strain of ‘ Pichia pastoris’ commonly used in gene expression studies is actually K. phaffii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In contrast to protein-coding sequences, the significance of variation in non-coding DNA in human disease has been minimally explored. A great number of recent genome-wide association studies suggest that non-coding variation is a significant risk factor for common disorders, but the mechanisms by which this variation contributes to disease remain largely obscure. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers — a major category of functional non-coding DNA — are involved in many developmental and disease-relevant processes. Genome-wide approaches to their discovery and functional characterization are now available and provide a growing knowledge base for the systematic exploration of their role in human biology and disease susceptibility.

AB  - N-myristoylation is a common form of co-translational protein fatty acylation resulting from the attachment of myristate to a required N-terminal glycine residue. We show that aberrantly acquired N-myristoylation of SHOC2, a leucine-rich repeat–containing protein that positively modulates RAS-MAPK signal flow, underlies a clinically distinctive condition of the neuro-cardio-facial-cutaneous disorders family. Twenty-five subjects with a relatively consistent phenotype previously termed Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair (MIM607721) shared the 4A>G missense change in SHOC2 (producing an S2G amino acid substitution) that introduces an N-myristoylation site, resulting in aberrant targeting of SHOC2 to the plasma membrane and impaired translocation to the nucleus upon growth factor stimulation. Expression of SHOC2S2G in vitro enhanced MAPK activation in a cell type–specific fashion. Induction of SHOC2S2G in Caenorhabditis elegans engendered protruding vulva, a neomorphic phenotype previously associated with aberrant signaling. These results document the first example of an acquired N-terminal lipid modification of a protein causing human disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To detect antimicrobial resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from turkey flocks using the microarray technology. Methods and Results:  A 775 gene probe oligonucleotide microarray was used to detect antimicrobial resistance genes in 34 isolates. All tetracycline-resistant Salmonella harboured tet(A), tet(C) or tet(R), with the exception of one Salmonella serotype Heidelberg isolate. The sul1 gene was detected in 11 of 16 sulfisoxazole-resistant isolates. The aadA, aadA1, aadA2, strA or strB genes were found in aminoglycoside-resistant isolates of Salm. Heidelberg, Salmonella serotype Senftenberg and untypeable Salmonella. The prevalence of mobile genetic elements, such as class I integron and transposon genes, in drug-resistant Salmonella isolates suggested that these elements may contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance genes in the preharvest poultry environment. Hierarchical clustering analysis demonstrated a close relationship between drug-resistant phenotypes and the corresponding antimicrobial resistance gene profiles. Conclusions:  Salmonella serotypes isolated from the poultry environment carry multiple genes that can render them resistant to several antimicrobials used in poultry and humans. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Multiple antimicrobial resistance genes in environmental Salmonella isolates could be identified efficiently by microarray analysis. Hierarchical clustering analysis of the data was also found to be a useful tool for analysing emerging patterns of drug resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To analyse the effect of cell-associated peptidases in yogurt starter culture strains Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (LB) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) on milk-protein-based antimicrobial and hypotensive peptides in order to determine their survival in yogurt-type dairy foods. Methods and Results:  The 11mer antimicrobial and 12mer hypotensive milk-protein-derived peptides were incubated with mid-log cells of LB and ST, which are required for yogurt production. Incubations were performed at pH 4·5 and 7·0, and samples removed at various time points were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The peptides remained mostly intact at pH 4·5 in the presence of ST strains and moderately digested by exposure to LB cells. Peptide loss occurred more rapidly and was more extensive after incubation at pH 7·0. Conclusions:  The 11mer and 12mer bioactive peptides may be added at the end of the yogurt-making process when the pH level has dropped to 4·5, limiting the overall extent of proteolysis. Significance and Impact of the Study:  The results show the feasibility of using milk-protein-based antimicrobial and hypotensive peptides as food supplements to improve the health-promoting qualities of liquid and semi-solid dairy foods prepared by the yogurt fermentation process.

AB  - The ∼50 million-year-old fungus-farming ant mutualism is a classic example of coevolution , involving ants that subsist on asexual, fungal biomass, in turn propagating the fungus clonally through nest-to-nest transmission. Most mutualistic ants cultivate two closely related groups of gilled mushrooms, whereas one small group of ants in the genus Apterostigma cultivates a distantly related lineage comprised of the G2 and G4 groups. The G2 and G4 fungi were previously shown to form a monophyletic group sister to the thread-like coral mushroom family Pterulaceae. Here, we identify an enigmatic coral mushroom that produces both fertile and sterile fruiting structures as the closest free-living relative of the G4 fungi, challenging the monophyly of the Apterostigma-cultivated fungi for the first time. Both nonparametric bootstrap and Bayesian posterior probability support the node leading to the G4 cultivars and a free-living Pterula mushroom. These data suggest three scenarios that contradict the hypothesis of strict coevolution: (1) multiple domestications, (2) escape from domestication, (3) selection of single cultivar lineages from an ancestral mixed-fungus garden. These results illustrate how incomplete phylogenies for coevolved symbionts impede our understanding of the patterns and processes of coevolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Iowa Center for Research on Botanical Dietary Supplements seeks to optimize Echinacea, Hypericum, and Prunella botanical supplements for human-health benefit, emphasizing anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-pain activities. This mini-review reports on ongoing studies on Hypericum. The Center uses the genetically diverse, well-documented Hypericum populations collected and maintained at the USDA-ARS North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS), and the strength of research in synthetic chemistry at Iowa State University to tap natural diversity, to help discover key constituents and interactions among constituents that impact bioactivity and toxicity. The NCRPIS has acquired more than 180 distinct populations of Hypericum, with a focus on Hypericum perforatum L. (Hypericaceae), representing about 13% of currently recognized taxa. Center chemists have developed novel synthetic pathways for key flavones, acyl phloroglucinols, hyperolactones, and a tetralin that have been found in Hypericum, and these compounds are used as standards and for bioactivity studies. Both light-dependent and light-independent anti-viral activities have been identified by using bioactivity-guided fractionation of H. perforatum and a HIV-1 infection test system. Our Center has focused on light-independent activity, potentially due to novel chemicals, and polar fractions are undergoing further fractionation. Anti-inflammatory activity has been found to be light-independent, and fractionation of a flavonoid-rich extract revealed four compounds (amentoflavone, chlorogenic acid, pseudohypericin, and quercetin) that interacted in the light to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin E2 activity. The Center continues to explore novel populations of H. perforatum and related species to identify constituents and interactions of constituents that contribute to potential health benefits related to infection.

AB  - Progressive elimination of rabies in wildlife has been a general strategy in Canada and the United States; common campaign tactics are trap--vaccinate-release (TVR), point infection control (PIC), and oral rabies vaccination (ORV). TVR and PIC are labor intensive and the most expensive tactics per unit area (≈$616/km² [in 2008 Can$, converted from the reported $450/km² in 1991 Can$] and ≈$612/km² [$500/km² in 1999 Can$], respectively), but these tactics have proven crucial to elimination of raccoon rabies in Canada and to maintenance of ORV zones for preventing the spread of raccoon rabies in the United States. Economic assessments have shown that during rabies epizootics, costs of human postexposure prophylaxis, pet vaccination, public health, and animal control spike. Modeling studies, involving diverse assumptions, have shown that ORV programs can be cost-efficient and yield benefit:cost ratios >1.0. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Conservation biologists often face the trade-off that increasing connectivity in fragmented landscapes to reduce extinction risk of native species can foster invasion by non-native species that enter via the corridors created, which can then increase extinction risk. This dilemma is acute for stream fishes, especially native salmonids, because their populations are frequently relegated to fragments of headwater habitat threatened by invasion from downstream by 3 cosmopolitan non-native salmonids. Managers often block these upstream invasions with movement barriers, but isolation of native salmonids in small headwater streams can increase the threat of local extinction. We propose a conceptual framework to address this worldwide problem that focuses on 4 main questions. First, are populations of conservation value present (considering evolutionary legacies, ecological functions, and socioeconomic benefits as distinct values)? Second, are populations vulnerable to invasion and displacement by non-native salmonids? Third, would these populations be threatened with local extinction if isolated with barriers? And, fourth, how should management be prioritized among multiple populations? We also developed a conceptual model of the joint trade-off of invasion and isolation threats that considers the opportunities for managers to make strategic decisions. We illustrated use of this framework in an analysis of the invasion-isolation trade-off for native cutthroat trout ( ) in 2 contrasting basins in western North America where invasion and isolation are either present and strong or farther away and apparently weak. These cases demonstrate that decisions to install or remove barriers to conserve native salmonids are often complex and depend on conservation values, environmental context (which influences the threat of invasion and isolation), and additional socioeconomic factors. Explicit analysis with tools such as those we propose can help managers make sound decisions in such complex circumstances. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Resumen:  Los biólogos de la conservación a menudo enfrentan el hecho de que el incremento de la conectividad en paisajes fragmentados para reducir el riesgo de extinción de especies nativas puede fomentar la invasión de especies no nativas que entran vía los corredores creados, lo cual también incrementa el riesgo de extinción. Este dilema es agudo para peces de arroyo, especialmente salmónidos nativos, porque sus poblaciones frecuentemente son relegadas a fragmentos de hábitat amenazado por invasión desde río debajo de tres salmónidos no nativos cosmopolitas. Los manejadores a menudo bloquean estas invasiones con barreras, pero el aislamiento de salmónidos nativos en arroyos pequeños puede incrementar el riesgo de extinción local. Proponemos un marco conceptual para abordar este problema mundial que enfoca cuatro preguntas principales. Primera, ¿hay presencia de especies de valor para la conservación (considerando legados evolutivos, funciones ecológicas y beneficios socioeconómicos como valores distintos)? Segunda, ¿las poblaciones son vulnerables a la invasión y desplazamiento por salmónidos no nativos? Tercera, ¿estarían amenazadas de extinción local estas poblaciones sí se aíslan con barreras? Y, cuarta, ¿cómo debe priorizarse el manejo entre múltiples poblaciones? También desarrollamos un modelo conceptual de los pros y contras de las amenazas de invasión y aislamiento que considera las oportunidades para que los manejadores tomen decisiones estratégicas. Ilustramos el uso de este marco en un análisis de la compensación invasión-aislamiento del salmón nativo Oncorhynchus clarkii en dos cuencas contrastantes en el occidente de América del Norte donde la invasión y el aislamiento están presentes y fuertes o lejanos y aparentemente débiles. Estos casos demuestran que las decisiones de instalar o remover barreras para conservar salmónidos nativos a menudo son complejas y dependen de valores de conservación, contexto ambiental (que influye en la amenaza de invasión y de aislamiento) y factores socioeconómicos. El análisis explícito con herramientas como las que proponemos puede ayudar a que los manejadores tomen decisiones sensatas en circunstancias tan complejas. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the United States, oxytetracycline (OTC) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in salmon, catfish and lobster; worldwide, it is the most prominent therapeutant in aquaculture. In this study, OTC and 4-epiOTC residues in salmon muscle were determined using a portable analyzer based on europium-sensitized luminescence (ESL). Extraction was performed first in EDTA/metaphosphoric acid/NaCl/hexane and then in metaphosphoric acid. After centrifugation, cleanup was carried out using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges. The ESL intensity, integrated over a 25-1000 µs interval, was linear (r2 = 0.9999) over three orders of magnitude. In comparison to xenon flashlamp, light-emitting diode (LED) excitation reduced background noise by sixfold to 6.4 ng g-1. Without prior chromatographic separation, this ESL method/instrument combination achieved 10.9 ng g-1 limit of detection and <2% average relative standard deviation. Average recovery was 82.0, 83.6 and 86.8% at 50, 100 and 2000 ng g-1, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An in-depth analysis was carried out with expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for genes in and near the HMW-GS loci. Considerations for using ESTs are discussed, including the occurrence of chimeric and aberrant HMW-GS ESTs. Complete gene sequences demonstrated the feasibility of constructing accurate full-length coding regions from EST assemblies and found, or supported, errors in several previously reported HMW-GS gene sequences. New complete HMW-GS gene sequences are reported for the cultivars Chinese Spring and Glenlea. The Ay subunit gene, which is considered null in cultivated wheats, was shown to transcribe in at least two germplasms. Analyses support the conclusion that of the five known genes within this genomic region, the two HMW-GS genes and the globulin gene are highly expressed. The other two genes, encoding a receptor kinase and a protein kinase, have one and no identifiable wheat EST, respectively, although ESTs are found for the orthologous genes in barley. The ESTs of all five genes within the HMW-GS region are either definitely associated with the endosperm or possibly originate from imbibed seed, suggesting the four distinct gene classes in this region are part of a seed or endosperm chromatin domain. EST resources were also used to determine relative abundance of ESTs for all classes of wheat prolamines and indicated differential levels of expression both among germplasms and among the three genomes of hexaploid wheats. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Une analyse approfondie a été réalisée sur les étiquettes de séquences exprimées (EST) provenant des gènes situés dans ou à proximité des locus HMW-GS. Les raisons motivant l’emploi des EST sont discutées, incluant la présence d’EST chimériques et aberrants parmi les EST des locus HMW-GS. Des séquences nucléotidiques complètes ont montré la possibilité d’assembler des régions codantes complètes à partir d’assemblages d’EST et ont permis de trouver ou de confirmer des erreurs au sein de plusieurs des séquences rapportées antérieurement. De nouvelles séquences nucléotidiques complètes des gènes HMW-GS sont rapportées pour les cultivars Chinese Spring et Glenlea. Il a été montré que le gène Ay du locus HMW-GS, considéré comme nul chez les blés cultivés, était transcrit chez aux moins deux germoplasmes. Les analyses confirment que parmi les cinq gènes situés dans cette région du génome, les deux gènes HMW-GS et celui codant pour la globuline sont fortement exprimés. Les deux autres gènes, codant pour une récepteur kinase et une protéine kinase, présentent respectivement un et aucun EST chez le blé, bien que des EST aient été trouvés pour leur orthologues chez l’orge. Les EST des cinq gènes de la région HMW-GS sont soit définitivement associés à l’albumen ou proviennent possiblement de graines imbibées. Cela suggère que les quatre classes de gènes représentés au sein de cette région font partie d’un domaine de la chromatine qui est spécifique de la graine ou de l’albumen. Les banques d’EST ont également été employées pour déterminer l’abondance relative des EST pour toutes les classes de prolamines du blé. Ces analyses ont indiqué des niveaux différents d’expression tant parmi les lignées que parmi les trois génomes des blés hexaploïdes. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The 14-3-3 family of proteins are highly conserved signaling proteins in eukaryotes that bind to their client proteins, usually through specific phosphorylated target sequences. While the 14-3-3 proteins are thought to interact with a wide array of cellular proteins, there have been few studies addressing the in-vivo role of 14-3-3. As one approach to study this in-vivo role, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants constitutively overexpressing a directed mutant of 14-3-3 isoform ω that inhibits phosphorylated nitrate reductase (pNR) in a largely divalent-cation-independent manner in vitro. The transgenic plants had increased relative phosphorylation of NR at the regulatory Ser-534 site and decreased NR activity measured in the presence of 5 mmol·L–1 MgCl2 relative to nontransgenic plants. In addition, total NR protein was increased and the protein half-life was increased about two-fold. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis analysis of proteins extracted from leaves of plants expressing the mutant 14-3-3 identified numerous cellular proteins that were altered in abundance. In particular, several β-glucosidase and glutathione S-transferase isoforms were decreased in abundance relative to wild type plants suggesting a possible alteration in stress or defense responses. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les protéines 14-3-3 constituent des protéines de signalisation fortement conservées, chez les eucaryotes, qui se lient généralement à leurs protéines clientes par des séquences phosphorylées spécifiquement ciblées. Bien qu'on croit que les protéines 14-3-3 interagissent avec un large ensemble de protéines cellulaires, il existe quelques études sur le rôle in vitro des 14-3-3s. Comme approche à cette étude, les auteurs ont généré des plants d'Arabidopis transgénique surexprimant constitutivement un mutant dirigé de l'isoforme ω des 14-3-3, lequel inhibe la nitrate réductase phosphorylée (pNR) de façon largement indépendante de cations divalents in vitro. Les plantes transgéniques montrent une augmentation relative de la phosphorylation de la NR au site de régulation Ser-534 et diminuent l'activité de la NR mesurée en présence de MgCl2 5 mmol·L–1, par rapport aux plantes non transformées. De plus, on observe une augmentation de la protéine NR totale et la demi-vie des protéines est à peu près doublée. L'analyse électrophorétique des différences sur gel à deux dimensions des protéines extraites des feuilles des plantes exprimant le mutant 14-3-3, fait ressortir de nombreuses protéines cellulaires dont l'abondance est fortement altérée. En particulier, plusieurs isoformes des β-glucosidases et gluthation-S-transférases diminuent en abondance par rapport aux plantes de type sauvage, ce qui suggère une possible altération des réactions de défenses au stress.

AB  - • The genetic control of carbon allocation and partitioning in woody perennial plants is poorly understood despite its importance for carbon sequestration, biofuels and other wood-based industries. It is also unclear how environmental cues, such as nitrogen availability, impact the genes that regulate growth, biomass allocation and wood composition in trees. • We phenotyped 396 clonally replicated genotypes of an interspecific pseudo-backcross pedigree of Populus for wood composition and biomass traits in above- and below-ground organs. The loci that regulate growth, carbon allocation and partitioning under two nitrogen conditions were identified, defining the contribution of environmental cues to their genetic control. • Sixty-three quantitative trait loci were identified for the 20 traits analyzed. The majority of quantitative trait loci are specific to one of the two nitrogen treatments, demonstrating significant nitrogen-dependent genetic control. A highly significant genetic correlation was observed between plant growth and lignin/cellulose composition, and quantitative trait loci co-localization identified the genomic position of potential pleiotropic regulators. • Pleiotropic loci linking higher growth rates to wood with less lignin are excellent targets to engineer tree germplasm improved for pulp, paper and cellulosic ethanol production. The causative genes are being identified with a genetical genomics approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Environmental problems are generally complex and blind to disciplinary boundaries.  Efforts to devise long-term solutions require collaborative research that  integrates knowledge across historically disparate fields, yet the traditional  model for training new scientists emphasizes personal independence and disciplinary  focus. Growing awareness of the limitations of the traditional model has spurred a reexamination of graduate training in the environmental sciences. Many institutions  are implementing novel training approaches, with varying degrees of success.  In this article, a group of current and former doctoral students evaluates  our collective experience in one such program, the Biogeochemistry and  Environmental Biocomplexity Program at Cornell University, funded by an  Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship grant from the  National Science Foundation. We identify aspects of the program that  contributed to our integrative research training experience, and discuss  stumbling blocks that may arise in such programs. We conclude with  recommendations for students and faculty interested in facilitating cross-disciplinary interactions at their home institutions.  INSET: Box 1.

AB  - Aims:  To investigate the interactions of Salmonella enterica with abiotic and plant surfaces and their effect on the tolerance of the pathogen to various stressors. Methods and Results:  Salmonella strains were tested for their ability to form biofilm in various growth media using a polystyrene plate model. Strong biofilm producers were found to attach better to intact Romaine lettuce leaf tissue compared to weak producers. Confocal microscopy and viable count studies revealed preferential attachment of Salmonella to cut-regions of the leaf after 2 h at 25°C, but not for 18 h at 4°C. Storage of intact lettuce pieces contaminated with Salmonella for 9 days at 4°C resulted only in small changes in population size. Exposure of lettuce-associated Salmonella cells to acidic conditions (pH 3·0) revealed increased tolerance of the attached vs planktonic bacteria. Conclusions:  Biofilm formation on polystyrene may provide a suitable model to predict the initial interaction of Salmonella with cut Romaine lettuce leaves. Association of the pathogen with lettuce leaves facilitates its persistence during storage and enhances its acid tolerance. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Understanding the interactions between foodborne pathogens and lettuce might be useful in developing new approaches to prevent fresh produce-associated outbreaks.

AB  - Aims:  To determine the effect of sprinklers on faecal shedding of Escherichia coli ( E. coli) O157:H7 and Salmonella in lactating dairy cattle. Methods and Results:  Sprinklers were applied to lactating dairy cattle on two farms at either the feedbunk or in the holding pen prior to milking. Faecal samples were collected approx. 1 and 4 weeks following initiation of sprinkler treatments for culture of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Enterococcus. No treatment differences were observed for E. coli O157:H7. Salmonella was higher ( P = 0·11) in the control treatment on day-7 whereas on day-28, the bunk sprinklers increased the number of Salmonella positive cows. Salmonella prevalence decreased ( P = 0·0001) on day-5 and when examined across days in cows exposed to sprinklers prior to milking. Antimicrobial susceptibility screening found very few isolates that were multi-drug resistant. All Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin. Conclusions:  This study demonstrated a significant decrease in faecal prevalence of Salmonella in lactating cattle following exposure to sprinklers administered prior to milking. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Identification of current dairy management techniques that are also effective in reducing on-farm prevalence of pathogenic bacteria could have significant food safety and environmental implications.

AB  - It has long been proposed that the nominal species Anastrepha fraterculus is a species complex and earlier studies showed high levels of pre-zygotic isolation between two laboratory strains from Argentina and Peru. Further experiments were carried out on the same populations and on their reciprocal hybrids, including pre- and post-zygotic isolation studies, pheromone analysis, and mitotic and polytene chromosome analysis. A high level of pre-zygotic isolation had been maintained between the parental strains despite 3 years of laboratory rearing under identical conditions. The level of pre-zygotic isolation was reduced in matings with hybrids. There were also differences in other components of mating behaviour. There were quantitative and qualitative differences in the sex pheromone of the two strains with the hybrids producing a mixture. The pre-zygotic isolation barriers were complemented by high levels of post-zygotic inviability and sex ratio distortion, most likely not due to Wolbachia, although there was evidence of some cytoplasmic factor involved in sex ratio distortion. Analysis of polytene chromosomes revealed a high level of asynapsis in the hybrids, together with karyotypic differences between the parental strains. The combined results of the present study indicate that these two strains belong to different biological entities within the proposed A. fraterculus complex. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 97, 152–165.

AB  - Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal prion disease of deer and elk that continues to emerge in new locations. To explore the means by which prions are transmitted with high efficiency among cervids, we examined prion infectivity in the apical skin layer covering the growing antler (antler velvet) by using CWD-susceptible transgenic mice and protein misfolding cyclic amplification. Our finding of prions in antler velvet of CWD-affected elk suggests that this tissue may play a role in disease transmission among cervids. Humans who consume antler velvet as a nutritional supplement are at risk for exposure to prions. The fact that CWD prion incubation times in transgenic mice expressing elk prion protein are consistently more rapid raises the possibility that residue 226, the sole primary structural difference between deer and elk prion protein, may be a major determinant of CWD pathogenesis.

AB  - Background: Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) modulates triglyceride metabolism through inhibition of lipoprotein lipase, but is itself regulated by insulin, so that APOC3 represents a potential mechanism by which glucose metabolism may affect lipid metabolism. Unfavorable lipoprotein profiles and impaired glucose metabolism are linked to cognitive decline, and all three conditions may decrease lifespan. Associations between apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene polymorphisms and impaired lipid and glucose metabolism are well-established, but potential connections between APOC3 polymorphisms, cognitive decline and diabetes deserve further attention. Methods: We examined whether APOC3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) m482 (rs2854117) and 3u386 (rs5128) were related to cognitive measures, whether the associations between cognitive differences and genotype were related to metabolic differences, and how diabetes status affected these associations. Study subjects were Hispanics of Caribbean origin (n = 991, aged 45-74) living in the Boston metropolitan area. Results: Cognitive and metabolic measures differed substantially by type II diabetes status. In multivariate regression models, APOC3 m482 AA subjects with diabetes exhibited lower executive function (P = 0.009), Stroop color naming score (P = 0.014) and Stroop color-word score (P = 0.022) compared to AG/GG subjects. APOC3 m482 AA subjects with diabetes exhibited significantly higher glucose (P = 0.032) and total cholesterol (P = 0.028) compared to AG/GG subjects. APOC3 3u386 GC/GG subjects with diabetes exhibited significantly higher triglyceride (P = 0.004), total cholesterol (P = 0.003) and glucose (P = 0.016) compared to CC subjects. Conclusions: In summary, we identified significant associations between APOC3 polymorphisms, impaired cognition and metabolic dysregulation in Caribbean Hispanics with diabetes. Further research investigating these relationships in other populations is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A study was conducted to evaluate effects of nitrocompounds on growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, nitrogen retention, and microbial community in laying hen manure. There were three treatments: control, 100 mM nitropropanol (NPL), and 100 mM nitropropionic acid (NPC). The mixed laying hen manure was divided into 3 groups and incubated at 23°C for 7 days. On Days 0, 3, and 7, samples were collected to measure the quantity of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, total nitrogen retention, and microbial community changes. Both nitrocompounds significantly reduced growth of the uric acid-utilizing microorganisms on Day 3 (P < 0.05). Inhibitory effects of both nitrocompounds remained until Day 7 when the experiment was terminated. NPL treatment retained significantly more manure nitrogen compared to the control on both Days 3 and 7. Manure nitrogen levels of NPC treatment were also significantly higher than the control on Day 7. We further investigated the effects of NPL and NPC on microbial community changes during a 7-day incubation. NPC treatment and control on Day 7 exhibited 94% community similarity. NPC on Day 3 and NPL on Day 7 also showed high community similarity (approximately 94%). Control on Day 0 and Day 7 yielded less than 80% community similarity. Control and NPL treatment groups on Day 3 gave the lowest community similarity (approximately 64%) compared to the other groups. This result indicated that incubation time and treatment moderately influenced microbial community changes. In summary, these results indicate that both nitrocompounds increased manure nitrogen retention by inhibiting the growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, and that NPL and NPC could be used as manure treatments in order to reduce ammonia volatilization and nitrogen retention in poultry manure. Moreover, nitrocompounds may have potential as feed additives to reduce ammonia volatilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Contrary findings are often found among epidemiological studies examining associations of different types of airborne particulates against the same health endpoints. Some studies of heart rate variability (HRV) in humans find associations with either regional particulate material 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) and/or with “sulfate” while some do not; some find associations with more local emissions such as black carbon (BC), while others do not. We explore if there might there be a consistent methodological explanation for inconsistent findings among HRV studies. To do this, we identify studies of HRV changes in humans examining associations with ambient PM2.5 and sulfate, ambient PM2.5 and BC, or all three; we briefly review findings and methodologies, including exposure issues; then we explore why studies may come to different conclusions. We tentatively conclude that differences in accuracy of subject exposure information for health-relevant emissions such as BC, which vary spatially over short distances in urban areas, may explain conflicting study results. HRV studies with accurate exposure information for BC or urban/industrial PM2.5 generally find large, significant associations with BC or urban/industrial PM2.5, but rarely with secondary sulfate or regional emissions generally. However, absent accurate exposure information for BC, studies appear more likely to find associations with less spatially variable secondary sulfate or PM2.5, and less likely to find strong associations with BC. However, research on this subject is limited, as are the number of studies evaluated here. Added research is necessary to confirm these findings (or otherwise), and to explore whether exposure misclassification might cause other health effects results to consistently vary.

AB  - Aim The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) mushroom family Inocybaceae is widespread in north temperate regions, but more than 150 species are encountered in the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere. The relative roles of recent and ancient biogeographical processes, relationships with plant hosts, and the timing of divergences that have shaped the current geographic distribution of the family are investigated. Location Africa, Australia, Neotropics, New Zealand, north temperate zone, Palaeotropics, Southeast Asia, South America, south temperate zone. Methods We reconstruct a phylogeny of the Inocybaceae with a geological timeline using a relaxed molecular clock. Divergence dates of lineages are estimated statistically to test vicariance-based hypotheses concerning relatedness of disjunct ECM taxa. A series of internal maximum time constraints is used to evaluate two different calibrations. Ancestral state reconstruction is used to infer ancestral areas and ancestral plant partners of the family. Results The Palaeotropics are unique in containing representatives of all major clades of Inocybaceae. Six of the seven major clades diversified initially during the Cretaceous, with subsequent radiations probably during the early Palaeogene. Vicariance patterns cannot be rejected that involve area relationships for Africa–Australia, Africa–India and southern South America–Australia. Northern and southern South America, Australia and New Zealand are primarily the recipients of immigrant taxa during the Palaeogene or later. Angiosperms were the earliest hosts of Inocybaceae. Transitions to conifers probably occurred no earlier than 65 Ma. Main conclusions The Inocybaceae initially diversified no later than the Cretaceous in Palaeotropical settings, in association with angiosperms. Diversification within major clades of the family accelerated during the Palaeogene in north and south temperate regions, whereas several relictual lineages persisted in the tropics. Both vicariance and dispersal patterns are detected. Species from Neotropical and south temperate regions are largely derived from immigrant ancestors from north temperate or Palaeotropical regions. Transitions to conifer hosts occurred later, probably during the Palaeogene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the availability of several protocols for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids from foliage of forest trees, information regarding their respective extraction efficiencies is scarce. We compared the efficiencies of acetone, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) over a range of incubation times for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids using small amounts of unmacerated tissue. Of the 11 species studied, comparable amounts of chlorophyll were extracted by all four solvents from three species and by ethanol and DMF from nine species. In four species, acetone, ethanol, and DMF extracted comparable chlorophyll amounts, while in another two species comparable amounts were extracted by ethanol, DMSO, and DMF. In one species, ethanol extracted significantly greater amounts of chlorophyll compared with all other solvents. The brown coloration of DMSO extracts for some species compromised the calculations of chlorophylls and carotenoids, making DMSO a poor choice. Overall, extraction efficiencies of ethanol and DMF were comparable for analyzing chlorophyll concentrations. However, because DMF is more toxic than ethanol, we recommend ethanol as the better option of these two for chlorophyll extractions. On the other hand, DMF is the most efficient solvent among the four tested for the extraction of carotenoids from these species. The results presented will facilitate the design of multispecies local- and regional-scale ecological studies to evaluate forest health. Additionally, they will enable reliable comparisons of results from multiple laboratories and (or) studies that used different solvents and help validate chlorophyll estimates obtained by remote sensing. Bien qu’il existe plusieurs protocoles pour extraire la chlorophylle et les caroténoïdes du feuillage des arbres forestiers, les informations concernant leur efficacité relative sont rares. Nous avons comparé l’efficacité de l’acétone, de l’éthanol, du diméthylsulfoxyde (DMSO) et du N, N-diméthylformamide (DMF) en utilisant différentes périodes d’incubation pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle et des caroténoïdes à partir de tissus non macérés. Parmi les 11 espèces étudiées, des quantités comparables de chlorophylle ont été extraites avec les quatre solvants chez trois espèces et avec l’éthanol et le DMF chez neuf espèces. Chez quatre espèces, l’acétone, l’éthanol et le DMF ont extrait des quantités comparables de chlorophylle tandis que chez deux autres espèces, c’était l’éthanol, le DMSO et le DMF. Chez une espèce, l’éthanol a extrait des quantités significativement plus élevées de chlorophylle que les autres solvants. Chez certaines espèces le DMSO n’est pas la meilleure option parce que la coloration brune des extraits compromet l’exactitude du calcul des quantités de chlorophylle et de caroténoïdes. Entre deux options comparables pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle chez la plupart des espèces, nous recommandons l’éthanol plutôt que le DMF à cause de la toxicité de ce dernier. Cependant, le DMF est le seul solvant qui peut efficacement extraire les caroténoïdes chez ces espèces. Les données présentées dans cette étude vont faciliter la conception des études écologiques qui comportent plusieurs espèces pour évaluer l’état de santé de la forêt. De plus, elles vont permettre de faire des comparaisons fiables entre les résultats provenant de plusieurs laboratoires ou études qui utilisent différents solvants et aider à valider les estimations de la chlorophylle obtenues par télédétection.

AB  - A national survey to estimate vacancy rates of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers was conducted in 2007. Poisson regression methods were used to improve the precision of the estimates. A significant increase in the estimated vacancy rate was reported for hospitals relative to an earlier study from 2002, although it is important to note that there were some methodological differences between the 2 surveys explaining part of the increase. Results from this study found the vacancy rate was higher in rural hospitals than in nonrural hospitals, and it was lower in ambulatory surgical centers. A number of simulations were run to predict the effects of relevant changes in the market for surgeries and number of CRNAs, which were compared to the predictions from the previous survey. The remarkable factor since the last survey was the unusually large rate of new CRNAa entering the market, yet the vacancy rates remain relatively high. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) has one of the largest mitochondrial genomes known among all eukaryotes, due in part to the accumulation of short 20 to 60 bp repetitive DNA motifs. Recombination among these repetitive DNAs produces rearrangements affecting organization and expression of mitochondrial genes. To more efficiently identify rearrangements in the cucumber mitochondrial DNA, we built two nonoverlapping 800 and 220 kb BAC contigs and assigned major mitochondrial genes to these BACs. Polymorphism carried on the largest BAC contig was used to confirm paternal transmission. Mitochondrial genes were distributed across BACs and physically distant, although occasional clustering was observed. Introns in the nad1, nad4, and nad7 genes were larger than those reported in other plants, due in part to accumulation of short repetitive DNAs and indicating that increased intron sizes contributed to mitochondrial genome expansion in cucumber. Mitochondrial genes atp6 and atp9 are physically close to each other and cotranscribed. These physical contigs will be useful for eventual sequencing of the cucumber mitochondrial DNA, which can be exploited to more efficiently screen for unique rearrangements affecting mitochondrial gene expression.

AB  - Le concombre (Cucumis sativus) possède l’un des plus grands génomes mitochondriaux chez les eucaryotes en raison, en partie, d’une accumulation de courts motifs répétitifs d’ADN de 20 à 60 pb. La recombinaison entre ces séquences répétées produit des réarrangements qui affectent l’organisation et l’expression des gènes mitochondriaux. Afin d’identifier plus efficacement les réarrangements au sein de l’ADN mitochondrial du concombre, les auteurs ont assemblé deux contigs totalisant 800 et 220 kb de clones BAC sans chevauchements et ont assigné les principaux gènes mitochondriaux à ces BAC. Le polymorphisme présent sur le plus grand contig BAC a été employé pour en confirmer la transmission paternelle. Les gènes mitochondriaux étaient distribués sur les BAC et séparés d’une grande distance physique, bien que quelques groupements aient été observés. Les introns dans les gènes nad1, nad4 et nad7 étaient plus grands que leurs homologues chez d’autres plantes en raison, en partie, de l’accumulation de courts motifs répétés d’ADN, ce qui indique que des introns de taille accrue ont contribué à l’expansion du génome mitochondrial chez le concombre. Les gènes mitochondriaux atp6 et atp9 sont physiquement proches l’un de l’autre et co-transcrits. Ces contigs physiques seront utiles en vue du séquençage de l’ADN mitochondrial du concombre qu’il serait possible d’exploiter pour identifier efficacement des réarrangements uniques affectant l’expression de gènes mitochondriaux.

AB  - The present study investigated the cultivable mesophilic (37°C) and thermophilic (60°C) cellulose-degrading bacterial diversity in a weathered soil-like sample collected from the deep subsurface (1.5 km depth) of the Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, USA. Chemical characterization of the sample by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy revealed a high amount of toxic heavy metals such as Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn. Molecular community structures were determined by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences retrieved from enrichment cultures growing in presence of microcrystalline cellulose as the sole source of carbon. All phylotypes retrieved from enrichment cultures were affiliated to Firmicutes. Cellulose-degrading mesophilic and thermophilic pure cultures belonging to the genera Brevibacillus, Paenibacillus, Bacillus, and Geobacillus were isolated from enrichment cultures, and selected cultures were studied for enzyme activities. For a mesophilic isolate (DUSELG12), the optimum pH and temperature for carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) were 5.5 and 55°C, while for a thermophilic isolate (DUSELR7) they were 5.0 and 75°C, respectively. Furthermore, DUSELG12 retained about 40% CMCase activity after incubation at 60°C for 8 h. Most remarkably, thermophilic isolate, DUSELR7 retained 26% CMCase activity at 60°C up to a period of 300 h. Overall, the present work revealed the presence of different cellulose-degrading bacterial lineages in the unique deep subsurface environment of the mine. The results also have strong implications for biological conversion of cellulosic agricultural and forestry wastes to commodity chemicals including sugars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report an outbreak of equine piroplasmosis in southern Texas, USA, in 2009. Infection prevalence reached 100% in some areas (292 infected horses). Amblyomma cajennense was the predominant tick and experimentally transmitted Theileria equi to an uninfected horse. We suggest that transmission by this tick species played a role in this outbreak.

AB  - Folic acid fortification of cereal grains was introduced in many countries to prevent neural tube defect occurrence. The metabolism of folic acid and vitamin B12 intersect during the transfer of the methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine catalyzed by B12-dependent methioine synthase. Regeneration of tetrahydrofolate via this reaction makes it available for synthesis of nucleotide precursors. Thus either folate or vitamin B12 deficiency can result in impaired cell division and anemia. Exposure to extra folic acid through fortification may be detrimental to those with vitamin B12 deficiency. Among participants of National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey with low vitamin B12 status, high serum folate (>59 nmol/L) was associated with higher prevalence of anemia and cognitive impairment when compared with normal serum folate. We also observed an increase in the plasma concentrations of total homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA), two functional indicators of vitamin B12 status, with increase in plasma folate under low vitamin B12 status. These data strongly imply that high plasma folate is associated with the exacerbation of both the biochemical and clinical status of vitamin B12 deficiency. Hence any food fortification policy that includes folic acid should also include vitamin B12. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The 1st International workshop on Environmental, Safety and Economic Aspects of Fusion Power (ESEFP) was held on 13 September 2015 at Jeju Island, South Korea. The workshop was initiated by the International Energy Agency Implementing Agreement on a Co-operative Program on ESEFP. The workshop was well attended with about forty participants representing twelve institutions in ten countries. The presentations covered safety issues and environmental impacts, availability improvement and risk control and socio-economic aspects of fusion power. Safety and licensing gaps between DEMO and ITER were discussed in depth with the consensus output presented as a plenary presentation at the 12th International Symposium on Fusion Nuclear Technology (ISFNT-12). The next workshop is planned to be held in conjunction with the ISFNT-13 in 2017. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rare-earth free permanent magnet MnBi (NiAs-type crystal structure) displays strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy above its ~90 K spin reorientation transition (SRT). X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the Mn K and Bi L2,3 edges show induced magnetism in Bi, which is strongly coupled to the magnetism of Mn. Temperature- and pressure-dependent XMCD results reveal that hydrostatic pressure mimics the effect of temperature, driving a transition from uniaxial to in-plane anisotropy. The pressure and temperature transitions are shown to be connected to an anisotropic lattice contraction in NiAs-type structures. Temperature and pressure, hence, induce coupled structural and magnetic responses, highlighting the importance of both anisotropic lattice change and Mn-Bi hybridization in leading to the magnetic anisotropy change across the SRT. The dependence of magnetic anisotropy on the anisotropic lattice change is confirmed by density functional theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The B trichothecene toxin-producing clade (B clade) of Fusarium includes the etiological agents of Fusarium head blight, crown rot of wheat and barley and stem and ear rot of maize. B clade isolates also have been recovered from several wild and cultivated grasses, including Dactylis glomerata (orchard grass or cock's foot), one of the world's most important forage grasses. Two isolates from the latter host are formally described here as F. dactylidis. Phenotypically F. dactylidis most closely resembles F. ussurianum from the Russian Far East. Both species produce symmetrical sporodochial conidia that are similar in size and curved toward both ends.However, conidia of F. ussurianum typically end in a narrow apical beak while the apical cell of F. dactylidis is acute. Fusarium dactylidis produced nivalenol mycotoxin in planta as well as low but detectable amounts of the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone in vitro. Results of a pathogenicity test revealed that F. dactylidis induced mild head blight on wheat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Applying early names, with or without original material, to genealogical species is challenging. For morels this task is especially difficult because of high morphological stasis and high plasticity of apothecium color and shape. Here we propose a nomenclatural revision of true morels (Morchella, Pezizales) from Europe and North America, based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of portions of the genes for RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1) and second largest subunit (RPB2), translation elongation factor-1a (TEF1), the nuc rDNA region encompassing the internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2, along with the 5.8S rDNA (ITS), and partial nuc 28S rDNA D1-D2 domains (28S). The 107 newly sequenced collections were from both continents, including 48 types, together with previously published sequences. Names are applied to 30 of the 65 currently recognized genealogical species. Results of the present study revealed that the number of Morchella species in Europe (n = 21) is nearly identical to that in North America (n = 22). Only seven species were found on both continents, consistent with previous reports of high continental endemism within the genus. Presently it is not possible to tell whether the transoceanic disjunctions were due to human activities, migration across a Bering land bridge or long-distance dispersal. In an effort to stabilize the taxonomy, due in part to the recent publication of synonyms for 11 of the species, accepted names are presented together with their corresponding later synonyms. A new subclade that includes holotypes of M. castanea and M. brunneorosea is identified in sect. Morchella (Esculenta Clade). Lectotypes for Morchella deliciosa, M. eximia and M. tridentina are designated here, as well as epitypes for M. dunalii, M. eximia, M. purpurascens and M. vulgaris. Morchella conica was determined to be illegitimate, and further research is required to determine the identity of M. elata and M. inamoena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Recent advances in nanoscale bioreplication processes present the potential for novel basic and applied research into organismal behavioral processes. Insect behavior potentially could be affected by physical features existing at the nanoscale level. We used nano-bioreplicated visual decoys of female emerald ash borer beetles (Agrilus planipennis) to evoke stereotypical mate-finding behavior, whereby males fly to and alight on the decoys as they would on real females. Using an industrially scalable nanomolding process, we replicated and evaluated the importance of two features of the outer cuticular surface of the beetle's wings: structural interference coloration of the elytra by multilayering of the epicuticle and fine-scale surface features consisting of spicules and spines that scatter light into intense strands. Two types of decoys that lacked one or both of these elements were fabricated, one type nano-bioreplicated and the other 3D-printed with no bioreplicated surface nanostructural elements. Both types were colored with green paint. The light-scattering properties of the nano-bioreplicated surfaces were verified by shining a white laser on the decoys in a dark room and projecting the scattering pattern onto a white surface. Regardless of the coloration mechanism, the nano-bioreplicated decoys evoked the complete attraction and landing sequence of Agrilus males. In contrast, males made brief flying approaches toward the decoys without nanostructured features, but diverted away before alighting on them. The nano-bioreplicated decoys were also electroconductive, a feature used on traps such that beetles alighting onto them were stunned, killed, and collected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Whether the fraction of total forest biomass distributed in roots, stems, or leaves varies systematically across geographic gradients remains unknown despite its importance for understanding forest ecology and modeling global carbon cycles. It has been hypothesized that plants should maintain proportionally more biomass in the organ that acquires the most limiting resource. Accordingly, we hypothesize greater biomass distribution in roots and less in stems and foliage in increasingly arid climates and in colder environments at high latitudes. Such a strategy would increase uptake of soil water in dry conditions and of soil nutrients in cold soils, where they are at low supply and are less mobile. We use a large global biomass dataset (>6,200 forests from 61 countries, across a 40°C gradient in mean annual temperature) to address these questions. Climate metrics involving temperature were better predictors of biomass partitioning than those involving moisture availability, because, surprisingly, fractional distribution of biomass to roots or foliage was unrelated to aridity. In contrast, in increasingly cold climates, the proportion of total forest biomass in roots was greater and in foliage was smaller for both angio-sperm and gymnosperm forests. These findings support hypotheses about adaptive strategies of forest trees to temperature and provide biogeographically explicit relationships to improve ecosystem and earth system models. They also will allow, for the first time to our knowledge, representations of root carbon pools that consider biogeographic differences, which are useful for quantifying whole-ecosystem carbon stocks and cycles and for assessing the impact of climate change on forest carbon dynamics.

AB  - In this paper, we consider the flow a complex fluid such as coal-water slurry or biomass. We assume the suspension can be modeled as a non-homogenous viscous fluid whose viscosity is a function of spatial coordinates and temperature. We study the heat transfer and the steady fully developed flow of this complex fluid between two long horizontal plates subject to the no-slip condition at the plates. Two different correlations are proposed for the viscosity and the thermal conductivity and analytical and numerical results are presented for the velocity, temperature and the volumetric flow rate.

AB  - Deformation processed metal-metal (matrix-reinforcement) composites (DMMCs) are high-strength, high-conductivity in situ composites produced by severe plastic deformation. The electrical resistivity of DMMCs is rarely investigated mechanistically and tends to be slightly higher than the rule-of-mixtures prediction. In this paper, we analyze several possible physical mechanisms (i.e. phonons, interfaces, mutual solution, grain boundaries, dislocations) responsible for the electrical resistivity of DMMC systems and how these mechanisms could be affected by processing conditions (i.e. temperature, deformation processing). As an innovation, we identified and assembled the major scattering mechanisms for specific DMMC systems and modeled their electrical resistivity in combination. From this analysis, it appears that filament coarsening rather than dislocation annihilation is primarily responsible for the resistivity drop observed in these materials after annealing and that grain boundary scattering contributes to the resistivity at least at the same magnitude as does interface scattering.

AB  - Lignocellulosic plant material is a viable source of biomass to produce alternative energy including ethanol and other biofuels. However, several factors—including toxic byproducts from biomass pretreatment and poor fermentation of xylose and other pentose sugars—currently limit the efficiency of microbial biofuel production. To begin to understand the genetic basis of desirable traits, we characterized three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with robust growth in a pretreated lignocellulosic hydrolysate or tolerance to stress conditions relevant to industrial biofuel production, through genome and transcriptome sequencing analysis. All stress resistant strains were highly mosaic, suggesting that genetic admixture may contribute to novel allele combinations underlying these phenotypes. Strain-specific gene sets not found in the lab strain were functionally linked to the tolerances of particular strains. Furthermore, genes with signatures of evolutionary selection were enriched for functional categories important for stress resistance and included stress-responsive signaling factors. Comparison of the strains’ transcriptomic responses to heat and ethanol treatment—two stresses relevant to industrial bioethanol production—pointed to physiological processes that were related to particular stress resistance profiles. Many of the genotype-by-environment expression responses occurred at targets of transcription factors with signatures of positive selection, suggesting that these strains have undergone positive selection for stress tolerance. Our results generate new insights into potential mechanisms of tolerance to stresses relevant to biofuel production, including ethanol and heat, present a backdrop for further engineering, and provide glimpses into the natural variation of stress tolerance in wild yeast strains.

AB  - The "quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe" (QuEChERS) approach to sample preparation is widely applied in pesticide residue analysis, but the use of magnesium sulfate and other nonvolatile compounds for salting out in the method is not ideal for mass spectrometry. In this study, we developed and evaluated three new different versions of the QuEChERS method using more volatile salts (ammonium chloride and ammonium formate and acetate buffers) to induce phase separation and extraction of 43 representative pesticide analytes of different classes. Fast low-pressure gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LPGC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS were used for analysis. The QuEChERS AOAC Official Method 2007.01 was also tested for comparison purposes. Of the studied methods, formate buffering using 7.5g of ammonium formate and 15mL of 5% (v/v) formic acid in acetonitrile for the extraction of 15g of sample (5g for wheat grain) provided the best performance and practical considerations. Method validation was carried out with and without the use of dispersive solid-phase extraction for cleanup, and no significant differences were observed for the majority of pesticides. The method was demonstrated in quantitative analysis for GC- and LC-amenable pesticides in 4 representative food matrices (apple, lemon, lettuce, and wheat grain). With the typical exceptions of certain pH-dependent and labile pesticides, 90-110% recoveries and <10% RSD were obtained. Detection limits were mostly <5ng/g, which met the general need to determine pesticide concentrations as low as 10ng/g for monitoring purposes in food applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin and visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan is compelling. There is a variety of evidence to support a role for lutein and zeaxanthin in vision. Lutein's role in cognition has only recently been considered. Lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are taken up selectively into eye tissue. Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in human brain tissue. Lutein and zeaxanthin in neural tissue may have biological effects that include antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and structural actions. In addition, lutein and zeaxanthin may be protective against eye disease because they absorb damaging blue light that enters the eye. In pediatric brains, the relative contribution of lutein to the total carotenoids is twice that found in adults, accounting for more than half the concentration of total carotenoids. The greater proportion of lutein in the pediatric brain suggests a need for lutein during neural development as well. In adults, higher lutein status is related to better cognitive performance, and lutein supplementation improves cognition. The evidence to date warrants further investigation into the role of lutein and zeaxanthin in visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We study the steady fully developed flow of granular materials between two horizontal flat plates, subject to slip at the walls. The constitutive model for the stress tensor is based on ideas in continuum mechanics and kinetic theory. The constitutive equation used in our study is a model proposed by Rajagopal et al. (1994) [24], and the material properties such as viscosity and the normal stress coefficients are derived using the kinetic theory approximation proposed by Boyle and Massoudi (1990) [2] which includes the effect of the gradient of volume fraction. The slip boundary condition is based on the particle dynamics simulation results of Rosato and Kim (1994) [30]. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized, and the resulting system of non-linear differential equations is solved numerically. The results for the velocity profiles and the volume fraction profiles are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lipoprotein subclass concentrations are modifiable markers of cardiovascular disease risk. Fenofibrate is known to show beneficial effects on lipoprotein subclasses, but little is known about the role of genetics in mediating the responses of lipoprotein subclasses to fenofibrate. A recent genomewide association study (GWAS) associated several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with lipoprotein measures, and validated these associations in two independent populations. We used this information to construct genetic risk scores (GRSs) for fasting lipoprotein measures at baseline (pre-fenofibrate), and aimed to examine whether these GRSs also associated with the responses of lipoproteins to fenofibrate. Fourteen lipoprotein subclass measures were assayed in 817 men and women before and after a three week fenofibrate trial. We set significance at a Bonferroni corrected alpha <0.05 (p < 0.004). Twelve subclass measures changed with fenofibrate administration (each p = 0.003 to <0.0001). Mixed linear models which controlled for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, pedigree and study-center, revealed that GRSs were associated with eight baseline lipoprotein measures (p < 0.004), however no GRS was associated with fenofibrate response. These results suggest that the mechanisms for changes in lipoprotein subclass concentrations with fenofibrate treatment are not mediated by the genetic risk for fasting levels.

AB  - In order to better protect steel surfaces against wear under high loads, understanding of chemical reactions between lubricants and metal at high interfacial pressures and elevated temperatures needs to be improved. Solutions at 5 to 20 wt. % of zinc di-2-ethylhexyl dithio phosphate (ZDDP) and chlorinated paraffins (CP) in inhibited paraffinic mineral oil (IPMO) and inhibited soy bean oil (ISBO) were compared on a Twist Compression Tribotester (TCT) at 200 MPa. Microscopy of wear tracks after 10 seconds tribotesting showed much smoother surface profiles than those of unworn areas. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) coupled with Ar-ion sputtering demonstrated that additive solutions in ISBO formed 2-3 times thicker carbon-containing nano-layers compared to IPMO. The amounts of Cl, S or P were unexpectedly low and detectable only on the top surface with less than 5 nm penetration. CP blends in IPMO formed more inorganic chlorides than those in ISBO. It can be concluded that base oils are primarily responsible for the thickness of carbonaceous nano-layers during early stages of severe boundary lubrication, while CP or ZDDP additive contributions are important, but less significant.

Mikroskopu ištyrus dilimo pėdsakus po 10 s TCT, plieno paviršiai buvo žymiai glotnesni nei prieš trintį. Tyrimai rentgeno fotoelektronų spektroskopu (XPS) su argono jonų ėsdinimu parodė, jog minėtų priedų tirpalai ISBO suformuoja kelis kartus storesnius anglingus sluoksnius nei IPMO tirpalai. Nustatyti Cl, P ir S kiekiai buvo nelauktai žemi ir fiksuojami tik iki 5 nm gylio. IPMO paviršiuose CP tirpalai suformavo daugiau neorganinių chloridų nei ISBO tirpalai. Galima teigti, jog bazinės alyvos turi didžiausią įtaką formuojamo anglingo nanosluoksnio storiui esant pradinėms ribinės trinties stadijoms, o ZDDP ir CP įtaka yra ženkli, bet mažiau reikšminga.

AB  - Two analytical formulations that describe the fluid interactions of slag with the porous refractory linings of gasification reactors have been derived. The first formulation considers the infiltration velocity of molten slag into the porous microstructure of the refractory material that possesses an inherent temperature gradient in the direction of infiltration. Capillary pressures are assumed to be the primary driving force for the infiltration. Considering that the geometry of the pores provides a substantially shorter length scale in the radial direction as compared with the penetration direction, a lubrication approximation was employed to simplify the equation of motion. The assumption of a fully developed flow in the pores is justified based on the extremely small Reynolds numbers of the infiltration slag flow. The second formulation describes the thickness of the slag film that flows down the perimeter of the refractory lining. The thickness of the film was approximated by equating the volumetric slag production rate of the gasification reactor to the integration of the velocity profile with respect to the lateral flow cross-sectional area of the film. These two models demonstrate that both the infiltration velocity into the refractory and the thickness of the film that forms at the refractory suiface were sensitive to the viscosity of the fluid slag. The slag thickness model has been applied to predict film thicknesses in a generic slagging gasifier with assumed axial temperature distributions, using slag viscosity from the literature, both for the case of a constant slag volumetric flow rate down the gasifier wall, and for the case of a constant flyash flux distributed uniformly over the entire gasifier wall.

AB  - Artemisia species possess pharmacological properties that are used for medical purposes worldwide. In this paper, the essential oils from the aerial parts of Artemisia nilagirica and Artemisia maritima from the western Indian Himalaya region are described. The main compounds analyzed by simultaneous GC/MS and GC/FID were camphor and 1,8-cineole from A. maritima, and camphor and artemisia ketone from A. nilagirica. Additionally, the oilswere evaluated for their antibacterial, antifungal, mosquito biting deterrent, and larvicidal activities. A. nilagirica essential oil demonstrated nonselective antifungal activity against plant pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum fragariae, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, whereas A. maritima did not showantifungal activity. Both Artemisia spp. exhibited considerable mosquito biting deterrence, whereas only A. nilagirica showed larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Antibacterial effects assessed by an agar dilution assay demonstrated greater activity of A. maritima essential oil against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to A. nilagirica.

AB  - Secondary metabolite phenotypes in nine species of theHamigeraclade were analysed to assess their correlations to a multi-gene species-level phylogeny. High-pressure-liquid-chromatography-based chemical analysis revealed three distinctive patterns of secondary metabolite production: (1) the nine species could be divided into two groups on the basis of production of the sesquiterpene tricinonoic acid; (2) the tricinonoic acid-producing group produced two cyclic peptides avellanins A and B; (3) the tricinonoic acid-non-producing group could be further divided into two groups according to the production of avellanins A and B. The chemical phenotype was consistent with the phylogeny of the species, although metabolite patterns were not diagnostic at the species level. In addition, the taxonomy of theHamigeraclade was updated with the new combinationHamigera ingelheimensisproposed forMerimbla ingelheimensis, so that all species in the clade are now in the same genus.

AB  - Certified reference material (CRM) 116-A, uranium (enriched) metal assay and isotopic standard, was analyzed using TRITON and MAT261 thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) instruments to characterize the uranium isotope-amount ratios. The certified n(238U)/n(235U) "major" ratio in CRM 116-A was determined using a combination of two analytical techniques: total evaporation (TE) and modified total evaporation (MTE). The "minor" isotope-amount ratios n(234U)/n(235U) and n(236U)/n(235U) in CRM 116-A were characterized using a combination of MTE and conventional analysis techniques. For the n(234U)/n(235U) and n(236U)/n(235U) ratios, both the MTE and conventional analysis routines incorporate an internal mass bias correction using the measured n(238U)/n(235U) ratio as well as corrections for peak tailing from 235U to 238U. The abundance of 233U, present in CRM 116-A at trace levels, was characterized using a conventional analysis technique that incorporates a secondary electron multiplier (SEM) equipped with an energy filter. CRM 116-A isotope-amount ratios are traceable to the national measurement base and to the International System of Units (S.I.). The measurements leading to the certification of the uranium isotopic abundances in CRM 116-A are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Trichothecene mycotoxins are natural contaminants of small grain cereals and are encountered in the environment, posing a worldwide threat to human and animal health. Their mechanism of toxicity is poorly understood, and little is known about cellular protection mechanisms against trichothecenes. We previously identified inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis as a novel mechanism for trichothecene-induced cell death. To identify cellular functions involved in trichothecene resistance, we screened the Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion library for increased sensitivity to nonlethal concentrations of trichothecin (Tcin) and identified 121 strains exhibiting higher sensitivity than the parental strain. The largest group of sensitive strains had significantly higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels relative to the parental strain. A dose-dependent increase in ROS levels was observed in the parental strain treated with different trichothecenes, but not in a petite version of the parental strain or in the presence of a mitochondrial membrane uncoupler, indicating that mitochondria are the main site of ROS production due to toxin exposure. Cytotoxicity of trichothecenes was alleviated after treatment of the parental strain and highly sensitive mutants with antioxidants, suggesting that oxidative stress contributes to trichothecene sensitivity. Cotreatment with rapamycin and trichothecenes reduced ROS levels and cytotoxicity in the parental strain relative to the trichothecene treatment alone, but not in mitophagy deficient mutants, suggesting that elimination of trichothecene-damaged mitochondria by mitophagy improves cell survival. These results reveal that increased mitophagy is a cellular protection mechanism against trichothecene-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and a potential target for trichothecene resistance.

AB  - In earlier studies, elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) were reported in double-crested cormorant ( Phalacrocorax auritus) eggs and tree swallow ( Tachycineta bicolor) eggs and nestlings collected from lower Green Bay (WI, USA) in 1994 and 1995 and black-crowned night-heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax) eggs collected in 1991. Comparable samples collected in 2010 and 2011 indicated that concentrations of PCBs were 35%, 62%, 70%, and 88% lower than in the early 1990s in tree swallow eggs, tree swallow nestlings, double-crested cormorant eggs, and black-crowned night-heron eggs, respectively; concentrations of DDE were 47%, 43%, 51%, and 80% lower, respectively. These declines are consistent with regional contaminant trends in other species. Concentrations of PCBs were higher in herring gull ( Larus argentatus) than in black-crowned night-heron eggs collected from Green Bay in 2010; PCB concentrations in double-crested cormorant and tree swallow eggs were intermediate. The estimated toxicity of the PCB mixture in eggs of the insectivorous tree swallow was the equal to or greater than toxicity in the 3 piscivorous bird species. A multivariate analysis indicated that the composition percentage of lower-numbered PCB congeners was greater in eggs of the insectivorous tree swallow than in eggs of the 3 piscivorous species nesting in Green Bay. Dioxin and furan concentrations and the toxicity of these chemicals were also higher in tree swallows than these other waterbird species nesting in Green Bay. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:1832-1839.

AB  - Abstract: An acidic plant pectin methylesterase from Ficus awkeotsang achenes (FaPME) was used to demethylesterify a model homogalacturonan (HG) at pH 4.5 and 7.5. Introduced demethylesterified blocks (DMBs) were released by a limited endo-polygalacturonase (EPG) digestion, separated and quantified by HPAEC. The average DMB size and number of such blocks per molecule differed depending on the degree of methylesterification (DM) and reaction pH (P < 0.05). Significant increases in and were observed in HGs of 30% DM compared to higher DMs. HGs demethylesterified to 30% and 50% DM at pH 4.5 showed significantly larger compared to pH 7.5. Absolute degree of blockiness (DBabs), obtained using exhaustive EPG digestions, displayed a linear relationship with the DM regardless of reaction pH (P < 0.001). The distribution of DMBs released by the limited EPG digest was predicted by mathematical modeling and compared with the experimental results. The in silico modeled enzyme mode of action suggested that a random, multiple chain, non-processive mode of action best explains the distributions of small blocks and a processive multiple attack mechanism best explains the distributions of longer blocks. Decreasing the DM of the HGs by the FaPME increased the G′ and G″ of calcium-mediated gels. Pearson's correlation displayed significant correlation coefficients between , , DBabs, DM, and G′. The results suggest the possibility to control and to produce a uniform population of demethylesterified pectin molecules, particularly in acidic environments where most basic plant PMEs are less active.

AB  - Liamocins are structurally unique, heavier-than-water 'oils' produced by certain strains of Aureobasidium pullulans. The aim of the current study is to identify new sources of liamocins and evaluate their potential as anticancer agents. Nine strains of A. pullulans from phylogenetic clades 8, 9, and 11 were examined for the first time for production of liamocins. Strains in these clades have only been isolated from tropical environments, and all strains tested here were from various locations in Thailand. Strains RSU 9, RSU 21, and RSU 29, all from clade 11, produced from 7.0 to 8.6 g liamocins/l from medium containing 5 % sucrose. These are the highest yields of liamocins that we have found thus far. These strains also produced from 9.4 to 17 g pullulan/l. The structural identity of liamocins was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry; differential spectra were obtained in which the dominant ion was either at about m/z 805.5 or m/z 949.6, consistent with the structure of liamocins. Liamocins from A. pullulans strains RSU 9 and RSU 21 inhibited two human breast cancer cell lines and a human cervical cancer cell line (IC values of 32.2 ± 1.4 to 63.1 ± 2.4 μg liamocins/ml) but were not toxic to a normal cell line. Liamocins weakly inhibited a strain of Enterococcus faecalis, but did not inhibit strains of Lactobacillus fermentum, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus, A. pullulans phylogenetic clade 11 is a promising source of liamocins, and these compounds merit further examination as potential anticancer agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ObjectiveTo evaluate high-circulation US and Canadian newspaper coverage of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D and assess pre-report and post-report reporter-specific vitamin D-related coverage.DesignTwo independent reviewers analysed the newspaper articles. The key report findings cited, proportion of sentences describing the IOM report and proportion of sentences describing critical viewpoints on the report were calculated. The content of articles written by reporters with a history of pre-report vitamin D-related articles was compared with that of articles written by reporters without such a history.SettingFactiva and LexisNexis searches of the top thirty US and three English-language Canadian print newspapers, by circulation.SubjectsArticles on the IOM report published from 30 November to 21 December 2010 and previous vitamin D-related articles written by the same reporters.ResultsOnly ten articles met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Articles inconsistently cited the key findings in the IOM report. Reporters with a history of pre-report articles highlighting the benefits of vitamin D dedicated a greater proportion of sentences to viewpoints critical of the IOM report (P < 0·01). There was no significant difference between pre-report publication history and proportion of sentences focused on the IOM report. A borderline-significant difference (P = 0·058) was observed between pre-report articles highlighting the benefits of vitamin D and the absence of reference to potential risks of vitamin D overconsumption.ConclusionOur findings suggest that newspaper articles did not consistently or comprehensively report the IOM recommendations and that pre-report publication history of reporters was related to post-report article content.

AB  - Although biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) have been discovered for hundreds of bacterial metabolites, our knowledge of their diversity remains limited. Here, we used a novel algorithm to systematically identify BGCs in the extensive extant microbial sequencing data. Network analysis of the predicted BGCs revealed large gene cluster families, the vast majority uncharacterized. We experimentally characterized the most prominent family, consisting of two subfamilies of hundreds of BGCs distributed throughout the Proteobacteria; their products are aryl polyenes, lipids with an aryl head group conjugated to a polyene tail. We identified a distant relationship to a third subfamily of aryl polyene BGCs, and together the three subfamilies represent the largest known family of biosynthetic gene clusters, with more than 1,000 members. Although these clusters are widely divergent in sequence, their small molecule products are remarkably conserved, indicating for the first time the important roles these compounds play in Gram-negative cell biology. • The ClusterFinder algorithm detects BGCs of both known and unknown classes • There exist large and widely distributed BGC families with no characterized members • We show that the most prominent family encodes the biosynthesis of aryl polyenes • The aryl polyene clusters constitute the largest known family of BGCs A new algorithm to mine genomes for secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways is used to identify a widely distributed family of polyketides that may serve as protective agents against oxidative stress.

AB  - Controlled degradation and transiency of materials is of significant importance in the design and fabrication of degradable and transient biomedical and electronic devices and platforms. Here, the synthesis of programmable biodegradable and transient insulating polymer films is reported, which have sufficient physical and chemical properties to be used as substrates for the construction of transient electronics. The composite structure can be used as a means to control the dissolution and transiency rate of the polymer composite film. Experimental and computational studies demonstrate that the addition of gelatin or sucrose to a PVA polymer matrix can be used as a means to program and either slow or enhance the transiency of the composite. The dissolution of the polymer composites are fitted with inverse exponential functions of different time constants; the lower time constants are an indication of faster transiency of the polymer composite. The addition of gelatin results in larger time constants, whereas the addition of sucrose generally results in smaller time constants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Introduction: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fractures. Studies have demonstrated the use of phytoestrogens, or plant-derived estrogens, such as genistein and daidzein, to effectively increase osteogenic activity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Herein, the effects of daidzein analogs on the osteogenic differentiation efficiency of human BMSC and adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASC) were explored. Methods: BMSCs and ASCs underwent osteogenic differentiation in the presence of vehicle, 17β-estradiol (E2), phytoestrogens, or daidzein analogs. Cells were stained for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymatic activity, calcium deposition by alizarin red s, and phosphate mineralization by silver nitrate. Gene expression analysis was conducted on cells treated with daidzein analogs. Results: Cells treated with E2, daidzein, or genistein increased calcium deposition by 1.6-, 1.5-, and 1.4-fold, respectively, relative to vehicle-treated BMSCs and 1.6-, 1.7-, and 1.4-fold relative to vehicle-treated ASCs, respectively. BMSCs treated with daidzein analog 2c, 2g, and 2l demonstrated a 1.6-, 1.6-, and 1.9-fold increase in calcium deposition relative to vehicle-treated BMSCs, respectively, while ASCs treated with daidzein analog 2c, 2g, or 2l demonstrated a 1.7-, 2.0-, and 2.2-fold increase in calcium deposition relative to vehicle-treated ASCs, respectively. Additional analysis with BMSCs and ASCs was conducted in the more efficient compounds: 2g and 2l. ALP activity and phosphate mineralization was increased in 2g- and 2l-treated cells. The analysis of lineage specific gene expression demonstrated increased expression of key osteogenic genes (RUNX2, c-FOS, SPARC, DLX5, SPP1, COL1A1, IGF1, SOST, and DMP1) and earlier induction of these lineage specific genes, following treatment with 2g or 2l, relative to vehicle-treated cells. Estrogen receptor (ER) inhibitor studies demonstrated that ER antagonist fulvestrant inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of 2g in BMSCs and ASCs, while fulvestrant only attenuated the effects of 2l, suggesting that 2l acts by both ER dependent and independent pathways. Conclusions: These studies provide support for exploring the therapeutic efficacy of daidzein derivatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the patterns of gene induction differed following treatment with each daidzein analog, suggesting that these daidzein analogs activate distinct ER and non-ER pathways to induce differentiation in BMSCs and ASCs.

AB  - We report magnetic susceptibility ( χ ) and heat capacity (Cp) measurements along with ab initio electronic structure calculations on PbCuTe2O6, a compound made up of a three-dimensional (3D) network of comer-shared triangular units. The presence of antiferromagnetic interactions is inferred from a Curie-Weiss temperature (θCW) of about -22 K from the χ(T ) data. The magnetic heat capacity Cm data show a broad maximum at Tmax ≃ 1.15 K (i.e., T-max/θCW ≃ 0.05), which is analogous to the the observed broad maximum in the Cm/ T data of a hyper-kagome system, Na4Ir3O8. In addition, Cm data exhibit a weak kink at T* ≃ 0.87 K. While the Tmax is nearly unchanged, the T* is systematically suppressed in an increasing magnetic field (H) up to 80 kOc. For H ⩾ 80 kOc, the Cm data at low temperatures exhibit a characteristic power-law (Tα) behavior with an exponent a slightly less than 2. Hopping integrals obtained from the electronic structure calculations show the presence of strongly frustrated 3D spin interactions along with non-negligible unfrustrated couplings. Our results suggest that PbCuTe2O6 is a candidate material for realizing a 3D quantum spin liquid state at high magnetic fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Basidiomycota (basidiomycetes) make up 32% of the described fungi and include most wood-decaying species, as well as pathogens and mutualistic symbionts. Wood-decaying basidiomycetes have typically been classified as either white rot or brown rot, based on the ability (in white rot only) to degrade lignin along with cellulose and hemicellulose. Prior genomic comparisons suggested that the two decay modes can be distinguished based on the presence or absence of ligninolytic class II peroxidases (PODs), as well as the abundance of enzymes acting directly on crystalline cellulose (reduced in brown rot). To assess the generality of the white-rot/brown-rot classification paradigm, we compared the genomes of 33 basidiomycetes, including four newly sequenced wood decayers, and performed phylogenetically informed principal-components analysis (PCA) of a broad range of gene families encoding plant biomass-degrading enzymes. The newly sequenced Botryoba-sidium botryosum and Jaapia argillacea genomes lack PODs but possess diverse enzymes acting on crystalline cellulose, and they group close to the model white-rot species Phanerochaete chrysosporium in the PCA. Furthermore, laboratory assays showed that both B. botryosum and J. argillacea can degrade all polymeric components of woody plant cell walls, a characteristic of white rot. We also found expansions in reducing polyketide synthase genes specific to the brown-rot fungi. Our results suggest a continuum rather than a dichotomy between the white-rot and brown-rot modes of wood decay. A more nuanced categorization of rot types is needed, based on an improved understanding of the genomics and biochemistry of wood decay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(NHDL) is an independent and superior predictor of CVD risk as compared to low-density lipoprotein alone. It represents a spectrum of atherogenic lipid fractions with possibly a distinct genomic signature. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify loci influencing baseline NHDL and its postprandial lipemic (PPL) response. We carried out GWAS in 4,241 participants of European descent. Our discovery cohort included 928 subjects from the Genetics of Lipid-Lowering Drugs and Diet Network Study. Our replication cohorts included 3,313 subjects from the Heredity and Phenotype Intervention Heart Study and Family Heart Study. A linear mixed model using the kinship matrix was used for association tests. The best association signal was found in a tri-genic region at RHOQ- PIGF- CRIPT for baseline NHDL (lead SNP rs6544903, discovery p = 7e−7, MAF = 2 %; validation p = 6e−4 at 0.1 kb upstream neighboring SNP rs3768725, and 5e−4 at 0.7 kb downstream neighboring SNP rs6733143, MAF = 10 %). The lead and neighboring SNPs were not perfect surrogate proxies to each other ( D′ = 1, r = 0.003) but they seemed to be partially dependent (likelihood ration test p = 0.04). Other suggestive loci (discovery p < 1e−6) included LOC100419812 and LOC100288337 for baseline NHDL, and LOC100420502 and CDH13 for NHDL PPL response that were not replicated ( p > 0.01). The current and first GWAS of NHDL yielded an interesting common variant in RHOQ- PIGF- CRIPT influencing baseline NHDL levels. Another common variant in CDH13 for NHDL response to dietary high-fat intake challenge was also suggested. Further validations for both loci from large independent studies, especially interventional studies, are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Natural variation exists in onion (Allium cepa L.) for amounts of epicuticular waxes on foliage, and plants with lower amounts of these waxes suffer less feeding damage from onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.). Wild-type onion possesses copious amounts of epicuticular waxes and is often referred to as "waxy." The recessively inherited "glossy" phenotype has significantly less wax relative to waxy types and shows resistance to onion thrips but is vulnerable to spray damage, foliar pathogens, and excessive transpiration. Phenotypes visually intermediate between waxy and glossy also exist in onion, which we refer to as "semiglossy." Epicuticular waxes on the leaves of glossy, semiglossy, and waxy onions were evaluated for appearance using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and amounts and types were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Wax crystals were clearly visible on the surface of waxy foliage with decreasing amounts on semiglossy and none on glossy leaves. The ketone hentriacontanone- 16 was the most prevalent wax on leaves of waxy onion and was significantly (P < 0.01) less on semiglossy relative to waxy plants and on glossy relative to waxy and semiglossy plants. Numbers of adult and immature onion thrips were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) on glossy and/or semiglossy accessions relative to waxy in field and greenhouse cage experiments. These results indicate that semiglossy plants possess intermediate amounts of epicuticular waxes that may protect leaves from diseases or environmental stresses while still conferring resistance to onion thrips. Therefore, the semiglossy phenotype should be useful in integrated programs managing this important onion pest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Consumers choose to eat different forms of foods based on a wide variety of factors such as price, taste, nutrition, and convenience and, in doing so, make trade-offs among them. A Web-based application for use by nutrition educators was developed to help individuals compare foods prepared from home recipes with those for other forms of food (eg, frozen, canned, dry mix). Foods with a home-recipe form in US Department of Agriculture databases were selected to represent a range of commonly consumed entrees, baked goods, side dishes, fruits, vegetables, desserts, and beverages. Multiple US Department of Agriculture and commercial databases along with other public data sources were used to construct prices, nutrient values, food groups and components, preparation and cooking times, shelf life, and food safety concerns for foods in the database. Per-serving and per-100-g values were constructed for 100 individual foods with a home recipe and 1 or more other forms. The data are available in a Web-based application, located at http:/www.foodvalueanalysis.org, allowing comparisons of individual foods or a daily diet constructed from foods in the database. Nutrition educators can use the application to advise individuals in selecting foods to consume to meet dietary guidelines while taking into consideration cost, preparation time, food preparation skills, and individual preferences. For example, the application can be used to evaluate differences in prices of fresh or processed foods, whether home recipe or processed foods are less costly when taking into consideration the value of preparation time, and the differences in nutrients across different forms of foods.

AB  - The high obesity rates and poor diet quality in the United States, particularly among low income populations, are often attributed to low income, low food access, and high food prices of healthy foods. This paper discusses these associations and questions some of the metrics used to measure food prices. The paper argues that 1. On average, Americans consume diets that need improvement and there is only a very limited relationship between income and diet quality; 2. The way the food price is measured makes a difference in the perception of how expensive healthy and less healthy food is; 3. The way Americans allocate their food budgets between healthy and less healthy foods is not in line with healthy diets; and 4. At any food spending level there are households that purchase healthy (and unhealthy) diets, including budgets at or below the maximum allotment for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which provides a means for low-income households to purchase food. Our key finding is that healthy foods and diets are affordable, but policy makers, nutrition educators, researchers and the media need to focus on promoting this message, and providing additional guidance on making the changes for Americans to switch to a healthy and affordable diet.

AB  - BACKGROUND Nine fractions (1, ground corn; 2, cooked slurry; 3, liquefied slurry; 4, fermented mash; 5, whole stillage; 6, thin stillage; 7, condensed distillers soluble ( CDS); 8, distillers wet grains ( DWG); and 9, distillers dried grains with solubles ( DDGS)) were collected at different steps from three commercial dry-grind bioethanol processing plants. Samples were analyzed for individual and total phenolic acid content by HPLC and the antioxidant capacity by ferric reducing antioxidant power ( FRAP) assay. RESULTS There were significant differences in phenolic acid (individual and total) content and the antioxidant capacity in the nine fractions collected from the three processing plants, but the changing trends in all three plants were very similar. The four phenolic acids identified in all fractions were caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic and sinapic acids. Vanillic acid was present in all fractions except fractions 2 and 3. All fractions collected following fermentation, except fractions 6 and 7, had higher concentrations of phenolic acids than fractions before fermentation, with DWG having the highest phenolic acids content. CONCLUSION The increased concentration of phenolic acid content after fermentation in four fractions (4, 5, 8 and 9) was primarily due to depletion of starch during dry-grind processing. Further research is needed to investigate the influence of enriched phenolic acid concentration in DDGS on diet palatability (sensory property) and animal health. Published 2013.

AB  - Volatile compounds give the first indication of the flavor in a dairy product. Volatiles are isolated from the sample matrix and then analyzed by chromatography, sensory methods or an electronic nose. Isolation may be performed by solvent extraction or headspace analysis, and gas chromatography is often employed with various detectors to identify odorants. The human nose is also used as a detector, and electronic noses are being developed to qualitate and quantitate volatiles. A reliable technique for analyzing odorants in dairy products has not yet been invented. Published 2014. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

AB  - The increasing number of sequenced plant genomes is placing new demands on the methods applied to analyze, annotate, and model these genomes. Today's annotation pipelines result in inconsistent gene assignments that complicate comparative analyses and prevent efficient construction of metabolic models. To overcome these problems, we have developed the PlantSEED, an integrated, metabolism-centric database to support subsystems-based annotation and metabolic model reconstruction for plant genomes. PlantSEED combines SEED subsystems technology, first developed for microbial genomes, with refined protein families and biochemical data to assign fully consistent functional annotations to orthologous genes, particularly those encoding primary metabolic pathways. Seamless integration with its parent, the prokaryotic SEED database, makes PlantSEED a unique environment for crosskingdom comparative analysis of plant and bacterial genomes. The consistent annotations imposed by PlantSEED permit rapid reconstruction and modeling of primary metabolism for all plant genomes in the database. This feature opens the unique possibility of modelbased assessment of the completeness and accuracy of gene annotation and thus allows computational identification of genes and pathways that are restricted to certain genomes or need better curation. We demonstrate the PlantSEED system by producing consistent annotations for 10 reference genomes. We also produce a functioning metabolic model for each genome, gapfilling to identify missing annotations and proposing gene candidates for missing annotations. Models are built around an extended biomass composition representing the most comprehensive published to date. To our knowledge, our models are the first to be published for seven of the genomes analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phytophthora infestans is a destructive plant pathogen best known for causing the disease that triggered the Irish potato famine and remains the most costly potato pathogen to manage worldwide. Identification of P. infestan's elusive center of origin is critical to understanding the mechanisms of repeated global emergence of this pathogen. There are two competing theories, placing the origin in either South America or in central Mexico, both of which are centers of diversity of Solanum host plants. To test these competing hypotheses, we conducted detailed phylogeographic and approximate Bayesian computation analyses, which are suitable approaches to unraveling complex demographic histories. Our analyses used microsatellite markers and sequences of four nuclear genes sampled from populations in the Andes, Mexico, and elsewhere. To infer the ancestral state, we included the closest known relatives Phytophthora phaseoli, Phytophthora mirabilis, and Phytophthora ipo-moeae, as well as the interspecific hybrid Phytophthora andina. We did not find support for an Andean origin of P. infestans; rather, the sequence data suggest a Mexican origin. Our findings support the hypothesis that populations found in the Andes are descendants of the Mexican populations and reconcile previous findings of ancestral variation in the Andes. Although centers of origin are well documented as centers of evolution and diversity for numerous crop plants, the number of plant pathogens with a known geographic origin are limited. This work has important implications for our understanding of the coevolution of hosts and pathogens, as well as the harnessing of plant disease resistance to manage late blight.

AB  - Unknown crystalline phases observed during the devitrification process of glassy metal alloys significantly limit our ability to understand and control phase selection in these systems driven far from equilibrium. Here, we report a new meta-stable phase identified by simultaneously searching Al-rich compositions of the Al–Sm system, using an efficient genetic algorithm. The excellent match between calculated and experimental X-ray diffraction patterns confirms that this new phase appeared in the crystallization of melt-spun alloys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Incomplete β-oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria is a feature of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous studies revealed that plasma concentrations of medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines (by-products of incomplete β-oxidation) are elevated in T2DM and insulin resistance. In a previous study, we reported that mixed D,L isomers of C12- or C14-carnitine induced an NF-κB-luciferase reporter gene in RAW 264.7 cells, suggesting potential activation of proinflammatory pathways. Here, we determined whether the physiologically relevant L-acylcarnitines activate classical proinflammatory signaling pathways and if these outcomes involve pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-associated pathways. Acylcarnitines induced the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in a chain length-dependent manner in RAW 264.7 cells. L-C14 carnitine (5-25 μM), used as a representative acylcarnitine, stimulated the expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, L-C14 carnitine induced phosphorylation of JNK and ERK, common downstream components of many proinflammatory signaling pathways including PRRs. Knockdown of MyD88, a key cofactor in PRR signaling and inflammation, blunted the proinflammatory effects of acylcarnitine. While these results point to potential involvement of PRRs, L-C14 carnitine promoted IL-8 secretion from human epithelial cells (HCT-116) lacking Toll-like receptors (TLR)2 and -4, and did not activate reporter constructs in TLR overexpression cell models. Thus, acylcarnitines have the potential to activate inflammation, but the specific molecular and tissue target(s) involved remain to be identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Key message: This manuscript reports a new gene ( Yr62) and a small-effect QTL for potentially durable resistance to stripe rust and usefulness of Yr62 markers for marker-assisted selection. Abstract: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst), is a devastating disease of wheat worldwide. Spring wheat germplasm PI 192252 showed a high level of high-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance to stripe rust in germplasm evaluation over 8 years in the State of Washington. To elucidate the genetic basis of resistance, PI 192252 was crossed with 'Avocet susceptible'. A mapping population of 150 F recombinant inbred lines was developed using single-seed descent. Stripe rust tests were conducted with selected Pst races in a greenhouse and in field conditions under natural infections. The relative area under the disease progress curve (rAUDPC) data showed continuous distributions, indicating that HTAP resistance of PI 192252 was controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Two QTL were identified in PI 192252, explaining 74.2 % of the total phenotypic variation for rAUDPC. These two QTL were mapped to chromosomes 4BL ( QYrPI192252.wgp- 4BL) and 5BS ( QYrPI192252.wgp- 5BS) with SSR and SNP markers and explained 40-60 and 22-27 %, respectively, of the phenotypic variation across the four environments. Because the major-effect QTL on 4BL is different from previously named Yr genes and inherited as a single gene, it is named Yr62. The SSR marker alleles Xgwm192 and Xgwm251 flanking Yr62 were different from the alleles in various wheat varieties, suggesting that these markers could be useful in marker-assisted selection for incorporating Yr62 into commercial cultivars.

AB  - Dysregulation in the circadian system induced by variants of clock genes has been associated with type 2 diabetes. Evidence for the role of cryptochromes, core components of the system, in regulating glucose homeostasis is not supported by CRY1 candidate gene association studies for diabetes and insulin resistance in human, suggesting possible dietary influences. The purpose of this study was to test for interactions between a CRY1 polymorphism, rs2287161, and carbohydrate intake on insulin resistance in two independent populations: a Mediterranean ( n = 728) and an European origin North American population ( n = 820). Linear regression interaction models were performed in two populations to test for gene-diet interactions on fasting insulin and glucose and two insulin-related traits, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI). In addition, fixed effects meta-analyses for these interactions were performed. Cohort-specific interaction analyses showed significant interactions between the CRY1 variant and dietary carbohydrates for insulin resistance in both populations ( p < 0.05). Findings from the meta-analyses of carbohydrate-single nucleotide polymorphism interactions indicated that an increase in carbohydrate intake (% of energy intake) was associated with a significant increase in HOMA-IR ( p = 0.011), fasting insulin ( p = 0.007) and a decrease in QUICKI ( p = 0.028), only among individuals homozygous for the minor C allele. This novel finding supports the link between the circadian system and glucose metabolism and suggests the importance this CRY1 locus in developing personalized nutrition programs aimed at reducing insulin resistance and diabetes risk.

AB  - In bulk materials, superconductivity is remarkably robust with respect to non-magnetic disorder. In the two-dimensional limit, however, disorder and electron correlations both tend to destroy the quantum condensate. Here we study, both experimentally and theoretically, the effect of structural disorder on the local spectral response of crystalline superconducting monolayers of lead on silicon. In a direct scanning tunnelling microscopy measurement, we reveal how the local superconducting spectra lose their conventional character and show variations at scales significantly shorter than the coherence length. We demonstrate that the precise atomic organization determines the robustness of the superconducting order with respect to structural defects, such as single atomic steps, which may disrupt superconductivity and act as native Josephson barriers. We expect that our results will improve the understanding of microscopic processes in surface and interface superconductivity, and will open a new way of engineering atomic-scale superconducting quantum devices.

AB  - Genomic evaluations of dairy cattle in the United States have been available for Brown Swiss, Holsteins, and Jerseys since 2009. As of January 2013, 1,023 Ayrshires had genotypes in the North American database. Evaluation accuracy was assessed using genomic evaluations based on 646 bulls with 2008 traditional evaluations to predict daughter performance of up to 180 bulls in 2012. Mean gain in reliability over parent average for all traits was 8.2 percentage points. The highest gains were for protein yield (16.9 percentage points), milk yield (16.6 percentage points), and stature (16.2 percentage points). Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms were useful for Ayrshire breed determination. Fewer breed-determining SNP were available for Ayrshires than for Holsteins, Jerseys, and Brown Swiss because of the similarity of Ayrshires and Holsteins. A haplotype that affects fertility was identified on chromosome 17 and traces back in the genotyped population to the bull Selwood Betty's Commander (born in 1953). The haplotype carrier frequency for genotyped Ayrshires was 26.1%. Sire conception rate was decreased by 4.3 ± 2.5 percentage points for carriers of the haplotype as determined by 618 matings of carrier sire by carrier maternal grandsire. Genomic evaluations for Ayrshires were officially implemented in the United States in April 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many North American blackwater rivers exhibit low dissolved O2 (DO) that may be the result of benthic respiration. We examined how tree species affected O2 demand via the quantity and quality of litter produced. In addition, we compared areal estimates of surface leaf-litter microbial respiration to sediment O2 demand (SOD) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in stream and swamp reaches of a blackwater river to quantify contributions of surface litter decomposition to O2 demand. Litter inputs averaged 917 and 678 g m-2 y-1 in the swamp and stream, respectively. Tree species differentially affected O2 demand via the quantity and quality of litter produced. Bald cypress ( Taxodium distichum) contributed most litter inputs because of its dominance and because it produced more litter per tree, thereby making greater relative contributions to O2 demand in the swamp. In the stream, water oak ( Quercus nigra) produced litter supporting lower fungal biomass and O2 uptake rates, but produced more litter than red maple ( Acer rubrum). Breakdown rates in the swamp were faster, whereas standing stock decreases were lower than in the stream, indicating greater organic matter retention. Surface litter microbial respiration accounted for 89% of SOD (6.37 g O2 m-2 d-1), and 57 to 89% of ER in the swamp. Our findings suggest that surface litter drives the majority of O2 demand in some blackwater swamps, and tree species with higher rates of litterfall may make larger contributions to ER. Forested swamps may be hotspots of O2 demand in blackwater rivers because low water velocities enhance retention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND Cranberries ( Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) contain high levels of phytochemicals such as proanthocyanidins ( PACs). These polymeric condensations of flavan-3-ol monomers are associated with health benefits. Our objective was to evaluate phytochemicals in fruit from Hawaiian cranberry relatives, V. reticulatum Sm. and V. calycinum Sm. Normal-phase HPLC coupled with fluorescence and ESI-MS detected PACs; the colorimetric 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde ( DMAC) assay was used to determine total PACs. Spectrophotometric tests and reverse-phase HPLC coupled to photodiode array and refractive index detectors evaluated phenolics, sugars, and organic acids. Antioxidant capacity was determined by the ORAC and FRAP assays. RESULTS Antioxidant capacities of Hawaiian berries were high. The FRAP measurement for V. calycinum was 454.7 ± 90.2 µmol L−1 Trolox equivalents kg−1 for pressed fruit. Hawaiian berries had lower peonidin, quinic and citric acids amounts and invert (∼1) glucose/fructose ratio compared with cranberry. Both Hawaiian Vaccinium species were good sources of PACs; they contained phenolics and PAC monomers, A and B-type trimers, tetramers and larger polymers. Vaccinium reticulatum and V. calycinum showed comparable or higher PAC levels than in cranberry. Cranberries had higher percentage of A-type dimers than did V. reticulatum. A and B-type dimers were not differentiated in V. calycinum. The total PACs (as measured by DMAC) for V. calycinum (24.3 ± 0.10 mg catechin equivalents kg−1) were about twice that in cranberry. CONCLUSION Berries of V. reticulatum and V. calycinum could serve as a rich dietary source of PACs, comparable to or greater than cranberries. These finding suggest that Hawaiian Vaccinium berries could be a functional food. Additional examination of the phytochemicals in other wild Vaccinium species is warranted. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Theoretical models predict that seed size and seed-bank persistence evolve interdependently, such that strong selection for one trait corresponds with weak selection for the other. This framework has been supported and rejected by empirical data, and thus, conclusive evidence is lacking. We expanded the seed size–persistence framework to include seed-coat thickness, a defence trait previously correlated with seed survival in soil. To do this, we used Abutilon theophrasti accessions with varied evolutionary histories and we quantified associations among seed traits including morphology, size, coat thickness, dormancy (percentage of viable seeds that fail to germinate under optimum conditions) and seed-bank persistence (percentage of viable seeds remaining after 1 year of burial). Statistical models were developed to test the hypothesis that combined measurements of seed-coat thickness and seed size better explain variability in seed-bank persistence than seed-size data alone. Results indicated that measurements of seed size (length, width, mass) were negatively correlated with coat:width ratio (coat thickness relative to seed width) and coat:mass ratio (coat thickness relative to seed mass). Accessions characterized by smaller seeds with proportionally thicker seed coats were more dormant and more persistent in soil than accessions characterized by larger seeds with proportionally thinner seed coats. Seed-coat thickness data improved the explanatory power of logistic regression models for seed-size effects on both seed-bank persistence and dormancy. These results indicate that supplementing seed-size data with seed-defence data may clarify previously reported contradictory results regarding trade-offs between seed size and seed-bank persistence.

AB  - Environmentally benign, economically viable, and socially acceptable agronomic strategies are needed to launch a sustainable lignocellulosic biofuel industry. Our objective was to demonstrate a landscape planning process that can ensure adequate supplies of corn ( Zea mays L.) stover feedstock while protecting and improving soil quality. The Landscape Environmental Assessment Framework (LEAF) was used to develop land use strategies that were then scaled up for five U.S. Corn Belt states (Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota) to illustrate the impact that could be achieved. Our results show an annual sustainable stover supply of 194 million Mg without exceeding soil erosion T values or depleting soil organic carbon [i.e., soil conditioning index (SCI) > 0] when no-till, winter cover crop, and vegetative barriers were incorporated into the landscape. A second, more rigorous conservation target was set to enhance soil quality while sustainably harvesting stover. By requiring erosion to be <1/2 T and the SCI-organic matter (OM) subfactor to be > 0, the annual sustainable quantity of harvestable stover dropped to148 million Mg. Examining removal rates by state and soil resource showed that soil capability class and slope generally determined the effectiveness of the three conservation practices and the resulting sustainable harvest rate. This emphasizes that sustainable biomass harvest must be based on subfield management decisions to ensure soil resources are conserved or enhanced, while providing sufficient biomass feedstock to support the economic growth of bioenergy enterprises.

AB  - We report measurements of electrical resistivity under pressure to 5.8 GPa, magnetization to 6.7 GPa, and ac susceptibility to 7.1 GPa in KFe2As2. The previously reported change of slope in the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature Tc(p) at a pressure p* ~ 1.8 GPa is confirmed, and Tc(p) is found to be nearly constant above p* up to 7.1 GPa. The T-p phase diagram is very sensitive to the pressure conditions as a consequence of the anisotropic uniaxial pressure dependence of Tc. Across p*, a change in the behavior of the upper critical field is revealed through a scaling analysis of the slope of HC2 with the effective mass as determined from the A coefficient of the T2 term of the temperature-dependent resistivity. We show that this scaling provides a quantitative test for the changes of the superconducting gap structure and suggests the development of a kz modulation of the superconducting gap above p* as a most likely explanation.

AB  - RATIONALE Monitoring of veterinary drug residues in foods is often conducted using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Results have high economic stakes for producers, but the ions monitored are usually selected due to signal intensities without structural interpretation. In this study, the ion transitions were characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry. METHODS The 62 veterinary drugs from the LC/MS/MS method consisted of sulfonamides, β-lactams, phenicols, macrolides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and corticosteroids. They were individually infused into a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization (ESI) operated in positive mode. The MS and collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS spectra for each analyte were obtained for structural elucidation. The Q-TOF instrument was calibrated to obtain a mass accuracy error <5 ppm for the MS and MS/MS spectra. RESULTS The use of high-resolution ESI-Q-TOF-MS for the generation of the MS/MS product ions allowed for the determination of chemical formulae for the analytes, some of which led to new findings. Assigned structures were based on rational interpretation of the most stable possible products with comparison with the scientific literature. In difficult cases, isotopically labeled drugs or hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange experiments were used to help confirm the structures of the product ions. CONCLUSIONS The use of ESI-Q-TOF-MS in this study has allowed structure elucidation of 186 MS/MS product ions previously selected for the LC/MS/MS analysis of 62 veterinary drugs. This serves to reduce the chances of false positives and negatives in the monitoring program, and provides justification and defense in regulatory enforcement actions. Published in 2014.

AB  - Abstract: Unlike most intermetallic compounds, polycrystalline YCu, a B2 (CsCl-type) intermetallic, is ductile at room temperature. The mechanisms for this behavior are not fully understood. In situ neutron diffraction was used to investigate whether a stress-induced phase transformation or twinning contribute to the ductility; however, neither mechanism was found to be active in YCu. Surprisingly, this study revealed that the intensities of the diffraction peaks increased after plastic deformation. It is thought that annealing the samples created nearly perfect crystallinity, and subsequent deformation reduced this high degree of lattice coherency, resulting in a modified mosaic structure that decreased or eliminated the extinction effect. Analysis of changes in diffraction peak intensity showed a region of primary plasticity that exhibits significant changes in diffraction behavior. Fully annealed samples initially contain diffracting volumes large enough to follow the dynamical theory of diffraction. When loaded beyond the yield point, dislocation motion disrupts the lattice perfection, and the diffracting volume is reduced to the point that diffraction follows the kinematic theory of diffraction. Since the sample preparation and deformation mechanisms present in this study are common in numerous material systems, this dynamical to kinematic diffraction transition should also be considered in other diffraction experiments. These measurements also suggest the possibility of a new method of investigating structural characteristics. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The effect of hypothermic storage on striped bass sperm calcium homeostasis was determined by Fluo-3 flow cytometry. Calcium homeostasis was defined as the ability of cells to maintain a low concentration of intracellular free calcium as measured by Fluo-3 fluorescence. Sperm were stored frozen in striped bass extender (SBE) and Tris–NaCl medium (T350) modified with 50 mM glycine and 7.5% dimethylsulfoxide and in nonfrozen form diluted 1:3 (vol/vol) in SBE and T350 for 1, 24, and 48 hours at 4 °C in an oxygen atmosphere. Fluo-3 fluorescence was detected in less than 5% of fresh viable sperm cells indicating maintenance of calcium homeostasis. In contrast to sperm in fresh semen, frozen-thawed and nonfrozen sperm cells lost to a considerable extent the ability to maintain low intracellular free calcium even in the absence of exogenous calcium; positive Fluo-3 fluorescence was found in 26% and 39% of thawed sperm frozen in SBE- and T350-based freezing diluents, respectively, and increased (P < 0.05) to 67% during nonfrozen storage in SBE and T350 at 24 and 48 hours. Sperm viability measured by exclusion of propidium iodide by flow cytometry was 99% in fresh milt and maintained at 86% (P > 0.05) in SBE after 48 hours of nonfrozen storage but decreased (P < 0.05) to 55.7% after 48 hours in T350. Energy status in terms of ATP content, determined by luciferin–luciferase bioluminescence assay, was higher (P < 0.05) in sperm frozen in SBE than in T350 during the first 5 minutes post-thaw and decreased to essentially zero by 15 minutes post-thaw and did not differ among nonfrozen storage treatments. In conclusion, sperm cells impervious to propidium iodide after frozen or nonfrozen storage were unable to maintain low intracellular calcium content. SBE is a better medium than T350 for frozen or nonfrozen storage of striped bass sperm. The inability to regulate intracellular calcium in striped bass sperm may be associated with poor activation of motility after 4 °C storage and cryopreservation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Dominance rank in animal societies is correlated with changes in both reproductive physiology and behavior. In some social insects, dominance status is used to determine a reproductive division of labor, where a few colony members reproduce while most remain functionally sterile. Changes in reproduction and behavior in this context must be coordinated through crosstalk between the brain and the reproductive system. We investigated a role for biogenic amines in forming this connection in the ant Harpegnathos saltator. In this species, workers engage in an elaborate dominance tournament to establish a group of reproductive workers termed gamergates. We analyzed biogenic amine content in the brains of gamergates, insideworkers and foragers under stable colony conditions and found that gamergates had the highest levels of dopamine. Dopamine levels were also positively correlated with increased ovarian activity among gamergates. Next, we experimentally induced workers to compete in a reproductive tournament to determine how dopamine may be involved in the establishment of a new hierarchy. Dopamine levels rose in aggressive workers at the start of a tournament, while workers that were policed by their nestmates (a behavior that inhibits ovarian activity) showed a rapid decline in dopamine. In addition to dopamine, levels of serotonin and tyramine differed among castes, and these changes could contribute to differences in caste-specific behavioral patterns observed among non-reproductive workers. Overall, these results provide support that biogenic amines link changes in behavior and dominance with reproductive activity in H. saltator as well as drive differences in worker task performance.

AB  - The accurate and comprehensive identification of functional regulatory sequences in mammalian genomes remains a major challenge. Here we describe site-specific integration fluorescence-activated cell sorting followed by sequencing (SIF-seq), an unbiased, medium-throughput functional assay for the discovery of distant-acting enhancers. Targeted single-copy genomic integration into pluripotent cells, reporter assays and flow cytometry are coupled with high-throughput DNA sequencing to enable parallel screening of large numbers of DNA sequences. By functionally interrogating >500 kilobases (kb) of mouse and human sequence in mouse embryonic stem cells for enhancer activity we identified enhancers at pluripotency loci including NANOG. In in vitro-differentiated cardiomyocytes and neural progenitor cells, we identified cardiac enhancers and neuronal enhancers, respectively. SIF-seq is a powerful and flexible method for de novo functional identification of mammalian enhancers in a potentially wide variety of cell types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The shoot tip-galling waspTetramesa romanaWalker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) has been released for biological control of giant reed or arundo (Arundo donaxL.) (Poaceae), an invasive grass in the USA and Mexico. The role of urea fertilization to improve plant-based mass-rearing was examined. In a greenhouse study, rhizomes were fertilized with urea pellets at rates equivalent to 1000 kg (low), 2000 kg (moderate), and 4000 (high) kg N per ha–1. Total nitrogen content of ungalled stems was significantly 0.60–0.65% higher under low and moderate fertilization compared to unfertilized pots, and shoot water content was elevated 3–4% at all urea levels. Moderate fertilization significantly (by 1.4-fold) increased the relative growth rate of all shoots in pots, but did not affect final dry biomass. Fertilization did not affect number and duration of probing events by females. The percentage of shoots colonized by wasps that were galled, progeny production per shoot and per female, and emergent wasp size were not affected. However, average generation time (adult to adult) of emergent wasps was 4–5 days shorter on shoots in pots under moderate and high urea fertilization. After a four-week wasp emergence period, only 3–9% of progeny remained in fertilized shoots, while 21% of progeny remained inside unfertilized shoots. In field plots, fertilization did not affect gall density per m shoot length or per female released. Urea fertilization increased the efficiency of greenhouse rearing of the arundo wasp and availability of adults for release, even without direct effects on gall production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This review is intended to provide plant pathologists and other scientists with a current overview of the most important Fusarium phytopathogens and mycotoxin producers. Knowledge of Fusarium species diversity and their evolutionary relationships has increased dramatically due to the application of multilocus molecular phylogenetics and genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition over the past 15 years. Currently Fusarium is estimated to comprise at least 300 genealogically exclusive phylogenetic species; however, fewer than half have been formally described. The most important plant pathogens reside in the following four groups: the F. fujikuroi species complex noted for Bakanae of rice, ear rot of maize, pitch canker of pine and several species that contaminate corn and other cereals with fumonisin mycotoxins; the F. graminearum species complex including the primary agents causing Fusarium head blight of wheat and barley that contaminate grain with trichothecene mycotoxins; the F. oxysporum species complex including vascular wilt agents of over 100 agronomically important crops; and the F. solani species complex, which includes many economically destructive foot and root rot pathogens of diverse hosts. Several other Fusarium phytopathogens reported from Japan and nested within other species complexes are reviewed briefly. With the abandonment of dual nomenclature, a broad consensus within the global community of Fusarium researchers has strongly supported the unitary use of the name Fusarium instead of several teleomorph names linked to it. Plant pathologists and other scientists needing accurate identifications of Fusarium isolates are encouraged to use Fusarium-ID and Fusarium MLST, Internet accessible websites dedicated to the molecular identification of Fusarium species.

AB  - Background Provision of fortified juices may provide a convenient method to maintain and increase blood fat-soluble vitamins. Objective To determine whether children consuming orange juice fortified with calcium and combinations of vitamins D, E, and A could increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], α-tocopherol, and retinol levels. Design A 12-week randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Participants/setting One hundred eighty participants (aged 8.04±1.42 years) were recruited at Tufts (n=70) and Boston University (n=110) during 2005-2006. Of those recruited, 176 children were randomized into three groups: CaD (700 mg calcium+200 IU vitamin D), CaDEA (700 mg calcium+200 III vitamin D+12 IU vitamin E+2,000 IU vitamin A as beta carotene), or Ca (700 mg calcium). Children consumed two 240-mL glasses of CaD, CaDEA, or Ca fortified orange juice daily for 12 weeks. Main outcome measures Serum 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, and retinol concentrations. Statistical analyses Changes in 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were examined. Covariates included sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and baseline 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, or parathyroid hormone levels. Multivariate models and repeated measures analysis of variance tested for group differences with pre-post measures (n=141). Results Baseline 25(OH)D was 68.4±27.7 nmol/L (27.4±11.10 ng/mL)), with 21.7% of participants having inadequate 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/L [20.03 ng/mL]). The CaD group's 25(OH)D increase was greater than that of the Ca group (12.7 nmol/L [5.09 ng/mL], 95% CI 1.3 to 24.1; P=0.029). The CaDEA group's increase in a-tocopherol concentration was greater than that in the Ca or CaD groups (3.79 µmol/L [0.16 µg/mL], 95% CI 2.5 to 5.1 and 3.09 (µmol/L [0.13 µg/mL], 95% C -1.8 to 4.3), respectively (P<0.0001). Retinol levels did not change, and body weight remained as expected for growth. Conclusions Daily consumption of orange juice providing 200 IU vitamin D and 12 IU vitamin E increased 25(OH)D and a-tocopherol concentrations in young children within 12 weeks.

AB  - Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint for crop production on acid soils which compose ∼40% of arable land in the tropics and subtropics. Rice is the most Al-tolerant cereal crop and offers a good model for identifying Al tolerance genes and mechanisms. Here we investigated natural variation in the rice Nramp aluminum transporter (NRAT1) gene encoding a root plasma membrane Al uptake transporter previously hypothesized to underlie a unique Al tolerance mechanism. DNA sequence variation in the NRAT1 coding and regulatory regions was associated with changes in NRAT1 expression and NRAT1 Al transport properties. These sequence changes resulted in significant differences in Al tolerance that were found to be associated with changes in the Al content of root cell wall and cell sap in 24 representative rice lines from a rice association panel. Expression of the tolerant OsNRAT1 allele in yeast resulted in higher Al uptake than did the sensitive allele and conferred greater Al tolerance when expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis. These findings indicate that NRAT1 plays an important role in rice Al tolerance by reducing the level of toxic Al in the root cell wall and transporting Al into the root cell, where it is ultimately sequestered in the vacuole. Given its ability to enhance Al tolerance in rice and Arabidopsis, this work suggests that the NRAT1 gene or its orthologs may be useful tools for enhancing Al tolerance in a wide range of plant species.

AB  - The spread of Huanglongbing through citrus groves is used as a case study for modeling an emerging epidemic in the presence of a control. Specifically, the spread of the disease is modeled as a susceptible-exposed-infectious-detected-removed epidemic, where the exposure and infectious times are not observed, detection times are censored, removal times are known, and the disease is spreading through a heterogeneous host population with trees of different age and susceptibility. We show that it is possible to characterize the disease transmission process under these conditions. Two innovations in our work are (i) accounting for control measures via time dependence of the infectious process and (ii) including seasonal and host age effects in the model of the latent period. By estimating parameters in different subregions of a large commercially cultivated orchard, we establish a temporal pattern of invasion, host age dependence of the dispersal parameters, and a close to linear relationship between primary and secondary infectious rates. The model can be used to simulate Huanglongbing epidemics to assess economic costs and potential benefits of putative control scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To explore the possibility of quantum phase transitions and even quantum criticality in LaCrSbbased compounds, we performed measurements under pressure as well as a vanadium substitution study. The Curie temperature of LaCrSbwas found to be invariant under pressure. Although pressure was not able to suppress the ferromagnetism, chemical substitution was used as another parameter to tune the magnetism. We grew La(VCr)Sb(x= 0–1.0) single crystals and studied the series by measurements of temperature- and field-dependent magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, resistivity and specific heat. Ferromagnetism has been observed for, and the system manifests a strong anisotropy in its ordered state. The Curie temperature decreases monotonically as theVconcentration increases. For, the system enters a new magnetic state at low temperatures, and no magnetic ordering above 1.8 K can be observed for. The effective moment/Cr varies only slightly as theVconcentration increases, from 3.9for= 0 to 2.9for= 0.88. Features related to quantum criticality have not been observed in the La(VCr)Sbsystem.

AB  - Abstract: The local atomic structure evolution in Al2Au alloy during solidification from 2000K to 400K was studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and analyzed using the structure factor, pair correlation functions, bond angle distributions, the Honeycutt–Anderson (HA) index and Voronoi tessellation methods. It was found that the icosahedral-like clusters are negligible in the Al2Au stable liquid and supercooled liquid states, and the most abundant clusters are those having HA indices of 131 and 120 or Voronoi indices of 〈0,4,4,0〉, 〈0,3,6,0〉 and 〈0,4,4,2〉 with coordination numbers of 8, 9 and 10, respectively. These clusters are similar to the local atomic structures in the CaF2-type Al2Au crystal, revealing the existence of structure heredity between liquid and crystalline phase in Al2Au alloy.

AB  - The HLA-F adjacent transcript 10 (FAT10) is a member of the ubiquitin-like gene family that alters protein function/stability through covalent ligation. Although FAT10 is induced by inflammatory mediators and implicated in immunity, the physiological functions of FAT10 are poorly defined. We report the discovery that FAT10 regulates lifespan through pleiotropic actions on metabolism and inflammation. Median and overall lifespan are increased 20% in FAT10ko mice, coincident with elevated metabolic rate, preferential use of fat as fuel, and dramatically reduced adiposity. This phenotype is associated with metabolic reprogramming of skeletal muscle (i.e., increased AMP kinase activity, (5-oxidation and -uncoupling, and decreased triglyceride content). Moreover, knockout mice have reduced circulating glucose and insulin levels and enhanced insulin sensitivity in metabolic tissues, consistent with elevated IL-10 in skeletal muscle and serum. These observations suggest novel roles of FAT10 in immune metabolic regulation that impact aging and chronic disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genetic variation at the Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput ( CLOCK) locus has been associated with lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, it has been suggested that the disruption of the circadian system may play a causal role in manifestations of MetS. The aim of this research was to find out whether habitual consumption of a low-fat diet, compared with a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil, modulates the associations between common CLOCK single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ( rs1801260, rs3749474 and rs4580704) and lipid and glucose-related traits among MetS patients. Plasma lipid and insulin concentrations, indexes related with insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)) and CLOCK SNPs were determined in 475 MetS subjects participating in the CORDIOPREV clinical trial (NCT00924937). Gene-diet interactions were analyzed after a year of dietary intervention (Mediterranean diet (35% fat, 22% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA)) versus low-fat diet (28% fat, 12% MUFA)). We found significant gene-diet interactions between rs1801260 SNP and the dietary pattern for insulin concentrations ( p = 0.009), HOMA-IR ( p = 0.014) and QUICKI ( p = 0.028). Specifically, after 12 months of low-fat intervention, subjects who were homozygous for the major allele (TT) displayed lower plasma insulin concentrations ( p = 0.032), lower insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; p = 0.027) and higher insulin sensitivity (QUICKI; p = 0.024) compared with carriers of the minor allele C (TC + CC). In contrast, in the Mediterranean intervention group a different trend was observed although no significant differences were found between CLOCK genotypes after 12 months of treatment. Our data support the notion that a chronic consumption of a healthy diet may play a contributing role in triggering glucose metabolism by interacting with the rs1801260 SNP at CLOCK gene locus in MetS patients. Due to the complex nature of gene-environment interactions, dietary adjustment in subjects with the MetS may require a personalized approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this study, we developed a viability evaluation method for pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds based on hyperspectral reflectance imaging. The reflectance spectra of pepper seeds in the 400-700 nm range are collected from hyperspectral reflectance images obtained using blue, green, and red LED illumination. A partial least squares--discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model is developed to classify viable and non-viable seeds. Four spectral ranges generated with four types of LEDs (blue, green, red, and RGB), which were pretreated using various methods, are investigated to develop the classification models. The optimal PLS-DA model based on the standard normal variate for RGB LED illumination (400-700 nm) yields discrimination accuracies of 96.7% and 99.4% for viable seeds and nonviable seeds, respectively. The use of images based on the PLS-DA model with the first-order derivative of a 31.5-nm gap for red LED illumination (600-700 nm) yields 100% discrimination accuracy for both viable and nonviable seeds. The results indicate that a hyperspectral imaging technique based on LED light can be potentially applied to high-quality pepper seed sorting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plants grow in close associations with fungi--pathogens, symbionts, and endophytes--and depend on these associations for success. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of these interactions is important in order to create optimal conditions for plant growth. Genomics is a powerful tool not only to discover the potential encoded in genomes of both plants and plant-associated fungi but also to monitor dynamics of their interactions through gene expression and other genome-enabled analyses. Next-generation sequencing technologies offer tools to explore nature's wide array of plant-fungal interactions in unprecedented depth, and the sheer volume of data produced is enormous. Several approaches to assemble, annotate, and analyse this wealth of genomics data are discussed in this chapter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) is a non-profit organisation providing an independent review of products intended for use in organic production systems to certify compliance with US national organic standards. Since all adjuvants to be used in organic agriculture production are required to meet these standards, OMRI's certified list of products is a convenient starting point when developing organic pest control formulations. In the current study, six OMRI-certified surfactants are tested for their compatibility with three common entomopathogens:Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium brunneumandIsaria fumosorosea. The fungi were evaluated in two common propagule forms, solid-state produced conidia and liquid-media produced blastospores. The results show that most of the surfactants are compatible with the fungi at a high surfactant concentration (2% w/v). In general, the conidia showed a higher susceptibility (greater reduction in spore germination) to the surfactants than the blastospores under these conditions. In addition, the surface tension and foaming properties of the surfactants were determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Stillbirth (SB) often results in reduced milk yield, compromised reproductive performance, and decreased dam longevity. Corrective mating can be used as a short-term solution to the problem, but long-term improvement of the population requires the routine calculation of genetic evaluations. Breeding values for SB have been available for Holstein (HO) bulls since 2006, but not for Brown Swiss (BS) or Jersey (JE) bulls. In this study, a multi-breed sire-maternal grandsire threshold model was used to perform genetic evaluations for SB of BS, JE, and HO bulls using more than 14 million purebred and crossbred calving records. Phenotypically, the percentage of SB (%SB) across all lactations were 3.7% in JE, 5.1% in BS, and 6.3% in HO. Direct heritabilities for BS, JE, and HO were 0.008, 0.007, and 0.008, and maternal heritabilities were 0.002, 0.016, and 0.021, respectively. Compared with HO, crossbred calvings from BS and JE bulls bred to HO cows lowered %SB by 1.5 and 1.2%, respectively. In general, %SB increased considerably as calving difficulty increased in all 3 breeds; however, in JE, %SB was constant for dystocia scores of 3 (needed assistance), 4 (considerable force), and 5 (extreme difficulty). Compared with purebred HO calvings, purebred BS and JE calvings had lower phenotypic %SB by up to 5.5 and 7.8%, respectively, and BS x HO and JE x HO crossbred calvings decreased %SB by up to 3.8 and 4.1%, respectively. As expected, SB rates in primiparous cows were higher than those in multiparous cows. Female calves had greater %SB than male calves in all parities for JE and in second-and-later parities for BS. Favorable (decreasing) phenotypic and genetic trends from 1999 to 2009 were observed in all 3 breeds. Heterosis of SB for BS and JE was 0.026 and -0.149, respectively, on the underlying scale, which corresponds to effects on service-sire SB (SSB) and daughter SB (DSB) predicted transmitting ability (PTA) of -0.3 and -0.5% in BS, and -1.5 and -2.7% in JE. Overall, in the current population, BS bulls had the most desirable average SSB PTA of 4.8%, compared with 5.6% for JE and 5.5% for HO. Brown Swiss and JE bulls both had average DSB PTA of 6.5%, lower than that of 7.7% in HO. Average reliabilities of SSB and DSB in 3 breeds ranged from 45 to 50%. The use of a BS-JE-HO multibreed genetic evaluation for SB in the United States is feasible, and the addition of SSB and DSB to the lifetime net merit selection index will help improve the profitability of BS and JE cattle in the United States.

AB  - Mammary gland (MG) de novo lipogenesis contributes significantly to milk fat in animals but little is known in humans. Objective: To test the hypothesis that the incorporation of 13C carbons from [U-13C]glucose into fatty acids (FA) and glycerol in triglycerides (TG) will be greater: 1) in milk than plasma TG, 2) during a high-carbohydrate (H-CHO) diet than high-fat (HFAT) diet, and 3) during feeding than fasting. Seven healthy, lactating women were studied on two isocaloric, isonitrogenous diets. On one occasion, subjects received diets containing H-FAT or H-CHO diet for 1 wk. Incorporation of 13C from infused [U-13C]glucose into FA and glycerol was measured using GC-MS and gene expression in RNA isolated from milk fat globule using microarrays. Incorporation of 13C2 into milk FA increased with increased FA chain length from C2:0 to C12:0 but progressively declined in C14:0 and C16:0 and was not detected in FA>C16. During feeding, regardless of diets, enrichment of 13C2 in milk FA and 13C3 in milk glycerol were ~3 and ~7-fold higher compared with plasma FA and glycerol, respectively. Following an overnight fast during H-CHO and H-FAT diets, 25 and 6%, respectively, of medium-chain FA (MCFA, C6-C12) in milk were derived from glucose but increased to 75 and 25% with feeding. Expression of genes involved in FA or glycerol synthesis was unchanged regardless of diet or fast/fed conditions. The human MG is capable of de novo lipogenesis of primarily MCFA and glycerol, which is influenced by the macronutrient composition of the maternal diet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ObjectiveTo determine if dietary, supplemental and total vitamin D intakes in the USA are influenced by income, race/ethnicity or gender.DesignCross-sectional. US vitamin D intakes were estimated by poverty income ratio (PIR), race/ethnicity and gender using 24 h dietary intake recalls and dietary supplement use questionnaires. Statistical analyses of weighted data were performed using SAS (version 9·2) to estimate means and their standard errors. Race and ethnic intake differences controlling for PIR, gender and age were assessed by ANCOVA.SubjectsAdults aged ≥19 years.SettingThe 2007–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, USA.ResultsTotal (dietary and supplement) vitamin D intake was greater in the high (10·0 (se 0·30) μg/d) v. the medium (7·9 (se 0·3) μg/d) or the low (8·0 (se 0·3) μg/d) PIR categories. Total vitamin D intake of non-Hispanic Whites (10·6 (se 0·4) μg/d) was greater than that of Hispanics (8·1 (se 0·3) μg/d) and non-Hispanic Blacks (7·1 (se 0·3) μg/d). Supplemental vitamin D intake was greater by females (5·3 (se 0·2) μg/d) than by males (3·3 (se 0·2) μg/d). Participants with high income were more likely to be vitamin D supplement users (33·0 %) than those with medium (22·5 %) or low (17·6 %) income. High-income non-Hispanic Whites had the lowest percentage (57 %) not meeting the Estimated Average Requirement for vitamin D. Fortified milk and milk products provided 43·7 % of the dietary vitamin D intake.ConclusionsPublic health efforts should expand the number of vitamin D-fortified foods and encourage the consumption of foods high in vitamin D and use of supplements.

AB  - Federal, state, and tribal fishery managers, as well as the general public and their elected representatives in the United States, were concerned when infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) was suspected for the first time in free-ranging Pacific Salmon collected from the coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada. This article documents how national and regional fishery managers and fish health specialists of the U.S. worked together and planned and implemented actions in response to the reported finding of ISAV in British Columbia. To date, the reports by Simon Fraser University remain unconfirmed and preliminary results from collaborative U.S. surveillance indicate that there is no evidence of ISAV in U.S. populations of free-ranging or marine-farmed salmonids on the west coast of North America.

En este artículo se documenta cómo administradores de pesquerías a nivel nacional y regional y especialistas en salud acuícola de los EE.UU. trabajaron, planearon e implementaron juntos acciones en respuesta a los hallazgos de VAIS en la CB. Hasta ahora, los reportes de la Universidad Simon Fraser permanecen sin confirmación y los resultados preliminares por parte de agencias de inspección y vigilancia en los EE.UU. indican que no existe evidencia del VAIS en poblaciones de salmón marino cultivado en sus rangos naturales de distribución dentro la costa noroeste de los EE.UU.

AB  - Aerosol samples on polycarbonate filters were collected daily for several years in the Southern High Plains region of western Texas. Selected samples representing a variety of size modes, locations, and air quality conditions were analyzed by PIXE. Silicon and other crustal elements dominated during dust storms and in the coarse mode; sulfur dominated during anthropogenic pollution episodes and in the fine mode. A mixture of both aerosol types was present even during “clear” conditions. The Al/Si ratio in dust events increases with wind speed. These data provide an initial assessment of aerosol chemistry in the West Texas plains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - While soil application of a competitive non-toxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains is successful in reducing aflatoxin contamination in certain crops, direct application to aerial reproductive structures could be more effective for maize. A sprayable, clay-based water-dispersible granule formulation was developed to deliver non-toxigenic A. flavus strain K49 directly to maize ears. The efficacy of the K49 water-dispersible granule in mitigating aflatoxin in maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated. Field studies were conducted to compare K49 colonization and effectiveness in reducing aflatoxin contamination when applied either as a soil inoculant or as a directed spray in plots infested with toxigenic strain F3W4. Fifty percent of non-toxigenic A. flavus was recovered from non-treated controls and from plots soil inoculated with K49 on wheat. In spray treatments with formulated or unformulated K49 conidia, over 90% of A. flavus recovered was non-toxigenic. Soil-applied K49 reduced aflatoxin contamination by 65% and spray applications reduced contamination by 97%. These findings suggest direct spray application of non-toxigenic A. flavus strains may be better than soil inoculation at controlling maize aflatoxin contamination and that a water-dispersible granule is a viable delivery system for maintaining viability and efficacy of the biological control agent, K49.

AB  - A major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers are particularly challenging to uncover because they are scattered among the vast non-coding portion of the genome. Evolutionary sequence constraint can facilitate the discovery of enhancers, but fails to predict when and where they are active in vivo. Here we present the results of chromatin immunoprecipitation with the enhancer-associated protein p300 followed by massively parallel sequencing, and map several thousand in vivo binding sites of p300 in mouse embryonic forebrain, midbrain and limb tissue. We tested 86 of these sequences in a transgenic mouse assay, which in nearly all cases demonstrated reproducible enhancer activity in the tissues that were predicted by p300 binding. Our results indicate that in vivo mapping of p300 binding is a highly accurate means for identifying enhancers and their associated activities, and suggest that such data sets will be useful to study the role of tissue-specific enhancers in human biology and disease on a genome-wide scale.

AB  - We identified nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), also known as pre-B cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF), as an essential enzyme mediating granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-triggered granulopoiesis in healthy individuals and in individuals with severe congenital neutropenia. Intracellular NAMPT and NAD+ amounts in myeloid cells, as well as plasma NAMPT and NAD+ levels, were increased by G-CSF treatment of both healthy volunteers and individuals with congenital neutropenia. NAMPT administered both extracellularly and intracellularly induced granulocytic differentiation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells and of the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. Treatment of healthy individuals with high doses of vitamin B3 (nicotinamide), a substrate of NAMPT, induced neutrophilic granulocyte differentiation. The molecular events triggered by NAMPT include NAD+-dependent sirtuin-1 activation, subsequent induction of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-β, and, ultimately, upregulation of G-CSF synthesis and G-CSF receptor expression. G-CSF, in turn, further increases NAMPT levels. These results reveal a decisive role of the NAD+ metabolic pathway in G-CSF-triggered myelopoiesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sap flow sensors are uniquely able to continuously monitor whole tree physiology. Recently, Burgess and Dawson (Burgess SSO, Dawson TE, Plant Soil 305:5–13, 2008) urged caution in using sap flow probes to estimate water storage use in trees. Here we respond to three criticisms raised there: (1) Sampling: that tree water storage, estimated from branch-bole sap flow lags, was compromised by unaccounted variation in branch position and orientation; (2) Instrumentation: that sap flow sensor response times may be sensor artefacts rather than manifestations of tree water storage; and (3) Theory: that tree water storage estimates are based on a faulty concept of lag phenomena in sap flow that persists in the literature. We agree with the need for caution in sap flow-based estimates of plant water storage, but here correct flaws in arguments and representations of studies presented in Burgess and Dawson (Burgess SSO, Dawson TE, Plant Soil 305:5–13, 2008).

AB  - Pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola (Förster) (Homoptera: Psyllidae), is a major pest of commercial pears in North America and Europe. Olfactometer trials have shown that males of both the summer and winter morphotype are attracted to female-infested host material. Additional work with the summer morphotype has shown that males are attracted to females even in the absence of the host plant, which is evidence that female C. pyricola produce a volatile sex attractant. Here, we describe similar results with the winterform, confirming for this morphotype that the female psylla rather than the infested host material is the source of the attractant. Male winterforms displayed attraction to odors from live females in the absence of the host plant, freshly killed females, and female whole body extracts. The female whole body extracts were at least as attractive as a comparable number of live females, suggesting that we were successful at extracting the components of the attractant with this procedure. All previous olfactometer trials with C. pyricola used the insect as the attractant source; the current study is the first to demonstrate that volatile chemicals isolated from the female insect were attractive to male conspecifics. Winterform males were also assayed to odors produced by conspecific males. We found that male psylla avoided volatile odors from live males, freshly killed males, or whole body extracts of males. To our knowledge, these results are the first indication that males of any member of the Psyllidae avoid odors associated with conspecific males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fruits of 63 accessions of Capsicum chinense Jacq. from the USDA/ARS Capsicum germplasm collection were analyzed for two major capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, using gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC/NPD). The objectives of the present investigation were: (i) to quantify the major capsaicinoids (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) in fruits of Capsicum chinense accessions and (ii) to identify accessions containing great concentrations of capsaicinoids among countries of hot pepper origin. Seeds of C. chinense accessions received from Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and United States were field grown in a silty-loam soil. Mature fruits were analyzed for major capsaicinoids content. Capsaicin concentrations were generally greater than dihydrocapsaicin. Fruits of C. chinense accession PI640900 (USA) contained the greatest concentration of capsaicin (1.52 mg g- 1 fruit) and dihydrocapsaicin (1.16 mg g- 1 fruit), while total major capsaicinoids in the fruits of PI438648 (Mexico) averaged 2 mg g- 1 fruit. These two accessions were identified as potential candidates for mass production of major capsaicinoids that have health-promoting properties and for use as a source of pest control agents in agricultural fields.

AB  - An extruded composite food packaging film containing pectin, polylactic acids (PLAs) and nisin was developed to inhibit Listeria monocytogenes. The mechanical properties and surface structure of the film were also examined. Cells of L. monocytogenes were reduced by 2.1, 4.5 and 3.7 log units mL−1 by the pectin plus PLA (pectin/PLA) film containing nisin (1000 IU mL−1 of tested liquid) in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth, liquid egg white and orange juice, respectively, after 48 h at 24 °C. Pectin played an important roll in embedding nisin into the film. The pectin/PLA film had a similar stiffness but lower tensile strength, elongation and fracture energy than the pure PLA film. These data suggested that nisin incorporated into the pectin/PLA film was an effective approach to reducing L. monocytogenes in a typical growth medium (e.g. BHI broth) as well as in foods (e.g. orange juice and liquid egg).

AB  - Pulsed electric field (PEF) exposes a fluid or semi-fluid product to short pulses of high-energy electricity, which can inactivate microorganisms. The efficacy of PEF treatment for pasteurisation of liquid eggs may be a function of processing temperature. In this study, effects of PEF, temperature, pH and PEF with mild heat (PEF + heat) on the inactivation of Salmonella typhimurium DT104 cells in liquid whole egg (LWE) were investigated. Cells of S. typhimurium were inoculated into LWE pH adjusted to 6.6, 7.2 or 8.2 at 15, 25, 30 and 40 °C. The PEF field strength, pulse duration and total treatment time were 25 kV cm−1, 2.1 μs and 250 μs respectively. Cells of S. typhimurium in LWE at pH 7.2 were reduced by 2.1 logs at 40 °C and 1.8 logs at 30 °C. The PEF inactivation of S. typhimurium cells at 15 or 25 °C was pH dependent. Heat treatment at 55 °C for 3.5 min or PEF treatment at 20 °C resulted in c. 1-log reduction of S. typhimurium cells. Combination of PEF + 55 °C achieved 3-log reduction of S. typhimurium cells and was comparable to the inactivation by the heat treatment at 60 °C for 3.5 min. With further development, PEF + heat treatment may have an advantage over high-temperature treatment for pasteurisation of liquid eggs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Atmospheric analysis by open-path Fourier-transform infrared (OP/FT-IR) spectrometry has been possible for over two decades but has not been widely used because of the limitations of the software of commercial instruments. In this paper, we describe the current state-of-the-art of the hardware and software that constitutes a contemporary OP/FT-IR spectrometer. We then describe advances that have been made in our laboratory that have enabled many of the limitations of this type of instrument to be overcome. These include not having to acquire a single-beam background spectrum that compensates for absorption features in the spectra of atmospheric water vapor and carbon dioxide. Instead, an easily measured “short path-length” background spectrum is used for calculation of each absorbance spectrum that is measured over a long path-length. To accomplish this goal, the algorithm used to calculate the concentrations of trace atmospheric molecules was changed from classical least-squares regression (CLS) to partial least-squares regression (PLS). For calibration, OP/FT-IR spectra are measured in pristine air over a wide variety of path-lengths, temperatures, and humidities, ratioed against a short-path background, and converted to absorbance; the reference spectrum of each analyte is then multiplied by randomly selected coefficients and added to these background spectra. Automatic baseline correction for small molecules with resolved rotational fine structure, such as ammonia and methane, is effected using wavelet transforms. A novel method of correcting for the effect of the nonlinear response of mercury cadmium telluride detectors is also incorporated. Finally, target factor analysis may be used to detect the onset of a given pollutant when its concentration exceeds a certain threshold. In this way, the concentration of atmospheric species has been obtained from OP/FT-IR spectra measured at intervals of 1 min over a period of many hours with no operator intervention.

AB  - Thirty-two individuals representing coastal and inland populations of steelhead and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) were sequenced at 18 expressed sequence tags and nine microsatellite loci to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms. A total of 98 polymorphisms were discovered during the screen and 22 were developed into 5′ exonuclease assays (Taqman assays). Genotypes from TaqMan assays were compared to sequence data from individuals in the ascertainment panel to confirm proper allele designations. A larger number of samples ( n = 192) from six regions were tested with the validated assays. Per-locus FST values ranged from 0.001 to 0.414. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The genus Alyssum contains >50 Ni hyperaccumulator species; many can achieve >2.5% Ni in dry leaf. In soils with normal Mn levels, Alyssum trichome bases were previously observed to accumulate Ni and Mn to high levels. Here we report concentration and localization patterns in A. murale and A. corsicum grown in soils with nonphytotoxic factorial additions of Ni and Mn salts. Four leaf type subsets based on size and age accumulated Ni and Mn similarly. The greatest Mn accumulation (10 times control) was observed in A. corsicum with 40 mmol Mn kg−1 and 40 mmol Ni kg−1 added to potting soil. Whole leaf Ni concentrations decreased as Mn increased. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence mapping of whole fresh leaves showed localized in distinct high-concentration Mn spots associated with trichomes, Ni and Mn distributions were strongly spatially correlated. Standard X-ray fluorescence point analysis/mapping of cryofractured and freeze-dried samples found that Ni and Mn were co-located and strongly concentrated only in trichome bases and in cells adjacent to trichomes. Nickel concentration was also strongly spatially correlated with sulfur. Results indicate that maximum Ni phytoextraction by Alyssum may be reduced in soils with higher phytoavailable Mn, and suggest that Ni hyperaccumulation in Alyssum species may have developed from a Mn handling system.

AB  - Background: Various members of the mint family have been used historically in Chinese and Native American medicine. Many of these same family members, including Prunella vulgaris, have been reported to have anti-viral activities. To further characterize the anti-lentiviral activities of P. vulgaris, water and ethanol extractions were tested for their ability to inhibit equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) replication. Results: Aqueous extracts contained more anti-viral activity than did ethanol extracts, displaying potent anti-lentiviral activity against virus in cell lines as well as in primary cell cultures with little to no cellular cytotoxicity. Time-of-addition studies demonstrated that the extracts were effective when added during the first four h of the viral life cycle, suggesting that the botanical constituents were targeting the virion itself or early entry events. Further analysis revealed that the extracts did not destroy EIAV virion integrity, but prevented viral particles from binding to the surface of permissive cells. Modest levels of anti-EIAV activity were also detected when the cells were treated with the extracts prior to infection, indicating that anti-EIAV botanical constituents could interact with both viral particles and permissive cells to interfere with infectivity. Size fractionation of the extract demonstrated that eight of the nine fractions generated from aqueous extracts displayed anti-viral activity. Separation of ethanol soluble and insoluble compounds in the eight active fractions revealed that ethanol-soluble constituents were responsible for the anti-viral activity in one fraction whereas ethanol-insoluble constituents were important for the anti-viral activity in two of the other fractions. In three of the five fractions that lost activity upon sub-fractionation, anti-viral activity was restored upon reconstitution of the fractions, indicating that synergistic anti-viral activity is present in several of the fractions. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that multiple Prunella constituents have profound anti-viral activity against EIAV, providing additional evidence of the broad anti-viral abilities of these extracts. The ability of the aqueous extracts to prevent entry of viral particles into permissive cells suggests that these extracts may function as promising microbicides against lentiviruses.

AB  - The presence of pheromone in cotton foliage after removal of pheromone dispensers was assessed by measuring the airborne pheromone concentration with an electroantennogram device. Plots of 0.4 ha in isolated cotton fields were treated with Shin-Etsu PBW-Rope® pheromone dispensers for mating disruption of Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). The dispensers contained ( Z, Z)- and ( Z, E)-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetates (gossyplure) in a 49:51 ratio and were applied at a density of 1 000/ha. The 400 pheromone dispensers were removed 1–12 days later. In four experiments involving canopy heights from 30–150 cm, the decay of the pheromone concentration was recorded repeatedly in short intervals for up to 7 h. Decay to undetectable concentrations generally occurred within 1–10 h, depending on plant size and wind conditions. In all four experiments, pheromone concentration 24 h after removal was found to be near or below detection threshold of the electroantennogram. The presence of pheromone within and above the cotton after dispenser removal would be due to re-entrainment of pheromone that had been adsorbed on cotton foliage or possibly some residual airborne pheromone.

AB  - Knowledge of the inheritance of C-glycosyl flavone synthesis in maize (Zea mays L.) silk tissues has been acquired through detailed genetic studies involving primarily germplasm from the Corn Belt Dent race. To test the robustness of this genetic knowledge, we examined C-glycosyl flavone synthesis in a genetically distinct germplasm pool, popcorn. C-glycosyl flavone profiles and levels and the involvement of three specific genes/quantitative trait loci (p, pr1, and sm1) in C-glycosyl flavone synthesis were examined in popcorn germplasm representing at least two races and various diverse geographic regions. Twenty-four inbred lines and 23 hybrids involving these inbred lines and inbred line R17 were characterized for their flavone profiles and levels in silk tissues. Two F2 mapping populations were constructed to examine the involvement of p, pr1, and sm1 on C-glycosyl flavone synthesis. C-glycosyl flavone levels threefold higher than previously reported in Corn Dent Belt materials and a novel class of compounds were discovered. The gene action of sm1 was different, the functional p allele was not always dominant, and pr1 did not affect maysin synthesis. Based on this rather simplistic “model” quantitative trait, it appears that caution should be exercised when attempting to apply quantitative trait locus knowledge accumulated in one germplasm base to a germplasm base that is known to be distinctly unique. Les connaissances sur l’hérédité de la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées dans les soies chez le maïs (Zea mays L.) ont été acquises via des études génétiques détaillées principalement chez le maïs denté du Corn Belt américain. Afin de vérifier la robustesse de ces connaissances génétiques, les auteurs ont étudié la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées au sein d’un groupe différent de ressources génétiques, le maïs à éclater. Les profils et teneurs en flavones C-glycosylées ont été déterminés chez des ressources génétiques (p, pr1, and sm1) représentant au moins deux races et diverses régions géographiques pour le maïs à éclater. Vingt-quatre lignées fixées et 23 hybrides dérivés de ces lignées fixées et de la lignée fixée R17 ont été caractérisées pour leurs teneurs et profils en flavones C-glycosylées dans les soies. Deux populations de cartographie F2 ont été produites pour examiner l’implication des gènes p, pr1, et sm1 sur la synthèse des flavones C-glycosylées. Des niveaux de flavones C-glycosylées trois fois plus élevés que ce qui a été rapporté chez les maïs denté du Corn Belt, ainsi qu’une nouvelle classe de composés ont été trouvés. L’action du gène sm1 était différente; l’allèle fonctionnel du gène p n’était pas toujours dominant; et le gène pr1 n’affectait pas la synthèse de la maïsine. Sur la base de ce modèle plutôt simpliste d’un caractère quantitatif « modèle », il semblerait que la prudence est de mise lorsqu’on tente d’étendre les connaissances acquises au sein d’un type de ressources génétiques à un autre qui est connu pour être distinct.

AB  - Background: Combating the action of plant pathogenic microorganisms by mycoparasitic fungi has been announced as an attractive biological alternative to the use of chemical fungicides since two decades. The fungal genus Trichoderma includes a high number of taxa which are able to recognize, combat and finally besiege and kill their prey. Only fragments of the biochemical processes related to this ability have been uncovered so far, however. Results: We analyzed genome-wide gene expression changes during the begin of physical contact between Trichoderma atroviride and two plant pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani, and compared with gene expression patterns of mycelial and conidiating cultures, respectively. About 3000 ESTs, representing about 900 genes, were obtained from each of these three growth conditions. 66 genes, represented by 442 ESTs, were specifically and significantly overexpressed during onset of mycoparasitism, and the expression of a subset thereof was verified by expression analysis. The upregulated genes comprised 18 KOG groups, but were most abundant from the groups representing posttranslational processing, and amino acid metabolism, and included components of the stress response, reaction to nitrogen shortage, signal transduction and lipid catabolism. Metabolic network analysis confirmed the upregulation of the genes for amino acid biosynthesis and of those involved in the catabolism of lipids and aminosugars. Conclusion: The analysis of the genes overexpressed during the onset of mycoparasitism in T. atroviride has revealed that the fungus reacts to this condition with several previously undetected physiological reactions. These data enable a new and more comprehensive interpretation of the physiology of mycoparasitism, and will aid in the selection of traits for improvement of biocontrol strains by recombinant techniques.

AB  - Background: Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are transcripts of the opposite DNA strand to the sense-strand either at the same locus (cis-encoded) or a different locus (trans-encoded). They can affect gene expression at multiple stages including transcription, RNA processing and transport, and translation. NATs give rise to sense-antisense transcript pairs and the number of these identified has escalated greatly with the availability of DNA sequencing resources and public databases. Traditionally, NATs were identified by the alignment of full-length cDNAs or expressed sequence tags to genome sequences, but an alternative method for large-scale detection of sense-antisense transcript pairs involves the use of microarrays. In this study we developed a novel protocol to assay sense- and antisense-strand transcription on the 55 K Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array, which is a 3' in vitro transcription (3'IVT) expression array. We selected five different tissue types for assay to enable maximum discovery, and used the 'Chinese Spring' wheat genotype because most of the wheat GeneChip probe sequences were based on its genomic sequence. This study is the first report of using a 3'IVT expression array to discover the expression of natural sense-antisense transcript pairs, and may be considered as proof-ofconcept. Results: By using alternative target preparation schemes, both the sense- and antisense-strand derived transcripts were labeled and hybridized to the Wheat GeneChip. Quality assurance verified that successful hybridization did occur in the antisense-strand assay. A stringent threshold for positive hybridization was applied, which resulted in the identification of 110 sense-antisense transcript pairs, as well as 80 potentially antisense-specific transcripts. Strand-specific RT-PCR validated the microarray observations, and showed that antisense transcription is likely to be tissue specific. For the annotated sense-antisense transcript pairs, analysis of the gene ontology terms showed a significant over-representation of transcripts involved in energy production. These included several representations of ATP synthase, photosystem proteins and RUBISCO, which indicated that photosynthesis is likely to be regulated by antisense transcripts. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the novel use of an adapted labeling protocol and a 3'IVT GeneChip array for large-scale identification of antisense transcription in wheat. The results show that antisense transcription is relatively abundant in wheat, and may affect the expression of valuable agronomic phenotypes. Future work should select potentially interesting transcript pairs for further functional characterization to determine biological activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are representative inhibitors generated from biomass pretreatment using dilute acid hydrolysis that interfere with yeast growth and subsequent fermentation. Few yeast strains tolerant to inhibitors are available. In this study, we report a tolerant strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL Y-50049, which has enhanced biotransformation ability to convert furfural to furan methanol (FM), HMF to furan di-methanol (FDM), and produce a normal yield of ethanol. Our recent identification of HMF and development of protocol to synthesize the HMF metabolic conversion product FDM allowed studies on fermentation metabolic kinetics in the presence of HMF and furfural. Individual gene-encoding enzymes possessing aldehyde reduction activities demonstrated cofactor preference for NADH or NADPH. However, protein extract from whole yeast cells showed equally strong aldehyde reduction activities coupled with either cofactor. Deletion of a single candidate gene did not affect yeast growth in the presence of the inhibitors. Our results suggest that detoxification of furfural and HMF by the ethanologenic yeast S. cerevisiae strain Y-50049 likely involves multiple gene mediated NAD(P)H-dependent aldehyde reduction. Conversion pathways of furfural and HMF relevant to glycolysis and ethanol production were refined based on our findings in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), is a worldwide pest of numerous agricultural and ornamental crops. In addition to directly feeding on plants, it also acts as a vector of plant viruses of cultivated and uncultivated host plant species. Moreover, host plants can affect the population dynamics of whiteflies. An open-choice screening experiment was conducted with B-biotype B. tabaci on a diverse collection of crops, weeds, and other indigenous plant species. Five of the plant species were further evaluated in choice or no-choice tests in the laboratory. The results reveal 49 new reproductive host plant species for B. tabaci. This includes 11 new genera of host plants ( Arenaria, Avena, Carduus, Dichondra, Glechoma, Gnaphalium, Molugo, Panicum, Parthenocissus, Trianthema, and Triticum) for this whitefly. All species that served as hosts were acceptable for feeding, oviposition, and development to the adult stage by B. tabaci. The new hosts include three cultivated crops [oats ( Avena sativa L.), proso millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.), and winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.)], weeds and other wild species, including 32 Ipomoea species, which are relatives of sweetpotato [ I. batatas (L.) Lam.)]. Yellow nutsedge, Cyperus esculentus L., did not serve as a host for B. tabaci in either open-choice or no-choice tests. The results presented herein have implications for whitefly ecology and the numerous viruses that B. tabaci spreads to and among cultivated plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown Bat) has been widely studied, information on tree-roosting in forests by males is rare, and little information is available on tree roosting in the southeastern United States. Our objectives were to characterize diurnal summer roosts, primarily for male Big Brown Bats, and to determine relationships between forest structure and roost selection. We quantified 25 male roosts located via radiotelemetry, and describe an additional 9 maternity roosts for females. All roosts for both sexes were in Pinus echinata (Shortleaf Pine) snags, and 82% of roost snags were 15-25 cm diameter at breast height (dbh). Most (94%) roosts for both sexes were under loose bark. A logistic regression model differentiating male roost sites from random locations indicated males were more likely to roost in recently thinned, open-forest conditions (less canopy cover, more cut stumps, and fewer under-story stems) that contained abundant overstory pines ≥25 cm dbh and abundant snags. Males roosted primarily (84%) in stands that had recently undergone partial harvesting. Maintaining a supply of pine snags ≥15 cm dbh in relatively open forest habitats, including areas undergoing partial harvest, would provide roosting habitat for male Big Brown Bats in the Ouachita Mountains.

AB  - Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a burgeoning health problem of unknown etiology that varies in prevalence among ancestry groups. To identify genetic variants contributing to differences in hepatic fat content, we carried out a genome-wide association scan of nonsynonymous sequence variations (n = 9,229) in a population comprising Hispanic, African American and European American individuals. An allele in PNPLA3 (rs738409[G], encoding I148M) was strongly associated with increased hepatic fat levels (P = 5.9 × 10−10) and with hepatic inflammation (P = 3.7 × 10−4). The allele was most common in Hispanics, the group most susceptible to NAFLD; hepatic fat content was more than twofold higher in PNPLA3 rs738409[G] homozygotes than in noncarriers. Resequencing revealed another allele of PNPLA3 (rs6006460[T], encoding S453I) that was associated with lower hepatic fat content in African Americans, the group at lowest risk of NAFLD. Thus, variation in PNPLA3 contributes to ancestry-related and inter-individual differences in hepatic fat content and susceptibility to NAFLD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sport-fish introductions are now recognized as an important cause of amphibian decline, but few researchers have quantified the demographic responses of amphibians to current options in fisheries management designed to minimize effects on sensitive amphibians. Demographic analyses with mark–recapture data allow researchers to assess the relative importance of survival, local recruitment, and migration to changes in population densities. I conducted a 4-year, replicated whole-lake experiment in the Klamath Mountains of northern California (U.S.A.) to quantify changes in population density, survival, population growth rate, and recruitment of the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae ) in response to manipulations of non-native fish populations. I compared responses of the frogs in lakes where fish were removed, in lakes in their naturally fish-free state, and in lakes where fish remained that were either stocked annually or no longer being stocked. Within 3 years of fish removals from 3 lakes, frog densities increased by a factor of 13.6. The survival of young adult frogs increased from 59% to 94%, and realized population growth and recruitment rates at the fish-removal lakes were more than twice as high as the rates for fish-free reference lakes and lakes that contained fish. Population growth in the fish-removal lakes was likely due to better on-site recruitment of frogs to later life stages rather than increased immigration. The effects on R. cascadae of suspending stocking were ambiguous and suggested no direct benefit to amphibians. With amphibians declining worldwide, these results show that active restoration can slow or reverse the decline of species affected by fish stocking within a short time frame.

AB  - Resumen: Las introducciones de peces para la pesca deportiva ya son reconocidas como una causa importante de la declinación de anfibios, pero pocos investigadores han cuantificado las respuestas demográficas de anfibios a las opciones actuales de manejo de pesquerías diseñadas para minimizar efectos sobre anfibios sensibles. Los análisis demográficos con datos de marcaje–recaptura permiten que investigadores evalúen la importancia relativa de la supervivencia, el reclutamiento local y la migración a cambios en las densidades poblacionales. Realicé un experimento de cuatro años, replicado en las Montañas Klamath en el norte de California (E. U. A.) para cuantificar los cambios en la densidad poblacional, supervivencia, tasa de crecimiento poblacional y reclutamiento de ranas (Rana cascadae ) en respuesta a manipulaciones de poblaciones de peces no nativas. Comparé las respuestas de las ranas en lagos en los que los peces fueron removidos, en lagos en su estado natural libre de peces y en lagos donde permanecían peces que eran abastecidos anualmente o que ya no eran abastecidos. A tres años de la remoción de peces de 3 lagos, las densidades de ranas incrementaron en un factor de 13.6. La supervivencia de ranas adultas jóvenes incremento de 59% a 94%, y el crecimiento poblacional realizado y las tasas de reclutamiento en los lagos sin peces fue más del doble que las tasas en los lagos de referencia libres de peces y los que contenían peces. El crecimiento poblacional en los lagos donde fueron removidos los peces probablemente se debió a un mejor reclutamiento de ranas en estadios tardíos y no a un incremento de la inmigración. Los efectos de la suspensión del abastecimiento de peces sobre R. cascadae fueron ambiguos y no sugirieron un beneficio directo para los anfibios. Con la declinación mundial de anfibios, estos resultados muestran que la restauración activa puede desacelerar o revertir la declinación de especies afectadas por el abastecimiento de peces en un período de tiempo corto.

AB  - The summer-blooming annual forbs Cleome lutea and Cleome serrulata (Cleomaceae) are native across the US Intermountain West and Rocky Mountains, respectively. Their farmed seed is sought to help rehabilitate western rangelands in those regions. This study of the reproductive biologies and pollinator faunas of C. lutea and C. serrulata is the first for this cosmopolitan family, the sister family to the Brassicaceae. Unlike the S-allele self-incompatibility systems of some Brassicaceae, both species of Cleome were found to be self-fertile and capable of some autogamy. Compared with selfing, outcrossing did not enhance seed set, seed viability or seedling vigor for either species (in fact, selfed progeny were more robust). Large, openly visited plants yielded >20 000 seeds each. Like several species of the sister family Capparaceae, flowers of both species first shed their pollen, secreted nectar and became receptive nocturnally. Although no nocturnal visitors were found, both Cleome species attracted a diverse array of diurnal native bees, wasps and butterflies. Among the many floral generalist bees that work Cleome flowers for pollen and nectar are two managed agricultural pollinators, Apis mellifera and Megachile rotundata. These observations bode well for pollinating C. lutea and C. serrulata in small commercial seed fields. It appears that diverse wild bees would benefit from the addition of native Cleome to restoration seed mixes, with the objective of sustaining native pollinator faunas during the first few years of postfire plant community rehabilitation.

AB  - Neuronal expression of familial Alzheimer's disease–mutant human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) and hAPP-derived amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides causes synaptic dysfunction, inflammation and abnormal cerebrovascular tone in transgenic mice. Fatty acids may be involved in these processes, but their contribution to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is uncertain. We used a lipidomics approach to generate a broad profile of fatty acids in brain tissues of hAPP-expressing mice and found an increase in arachidonic acid and its metabolites, suggesting increased activity of the group IV isoform of phospholipase A2 (GIVA-PLA2). The levels of activated GIVA-PLA2 in the hippocampus were increased in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and in hAPP mice. Aβ caused a dose-dependent increase in GIVA-PLA2 phosphorylation in neuronal cultures. Inhibition of GIVA-PLA2 diminished Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Genetic ablation or reduction of GIVA-PLA2 protected hAPP mice against Aβ-dependent deficits in learning and memory, behavioral alterations and premature mortality. Inhibition of GIVA-PLA2 may be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In addition, primer pairs for 16 loci amplified scoreable alleles in six other Tsuga species. In eastern North America, both Carolina hemlock and eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis [L.] Carr.) populations are declining due to infestation by hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae. The markers described here should enhance population genetic studies of hemlocks, providing valuable information for conserving and restoring these important forest tree species.

Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.971, and expected heterozygosity from 0.057 to 0.848. Thirteen of the loci were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, due to either the presence of null alleles, small sample size, or the effects of population subdivision (Wahlund's effect). All 37 primer pairs were tested with P. graminis and P. triticina showing that they are specific to P. coronata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We compared the levels and distribution of genetic diversity in Eurasian and North American populations of Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) Beauv. (false brome), a newly invasive perennial bunchgrass in western North America. Our goals were to identify source regions for invasive populations, determine the number of independent invasion events, and assess the possibility that postinvasion bottlenecks and hybridization have affected patterns of genetic diversity in the invaded range. We tested the hypothesis that this Eurasian grass was accidentally introduced into two areas in Oregon and one site in California by examining nuclear microsatellites and chloroplast haplotype variation in 23 introduced and 25 native populations. In the invaded range, there was significantly lower allelic richness ( RS), observed heterozygosity ( HO) and within-population gene diversity ( HS), although a formal test failed to detect a significant genetic bottleneck. Most of the genetic variation existed among populations in the native range but within populations in the invaded range. All of the allelic variation in the invaded range could be explained based on alleles found in western European populations. The distribution of identified genetic clusters in the North American populations and the unique alleles associated with them is consistent with two historical introductions in Oregon and a separate introduction to California. Further analyses of population structure indicate that intraspecific hybridization among genotypes from geographically distinct regions of western Europe occurred following colonization in Oregon. The California populations, however, are more likely to be derived from one or perhaps several genetically similar regions in the native range. The emergence and spread of novel recombinant genotypes may be facilitating the rapid spread of this invasive species in Oregon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hatching and head movement behaviours of second-stage juvenile (J2) of two agriculturally important plant-parasitic nematodes were affected by the in vitro application of biogenic amines. The behavioural responses of Heterodera glycines and Meloidogyne incognita to treatments of serotonin, octopamine and dopamine were qualitatively similar, but significant quantitative differences between the species were revealed. The frequency of J2 head movement was decreased by as little as 250 μM serotonin in H. glycines and 500 μM serotonin in M. incognita, with effective doses (ED50) of 0.73 mM for H. glycines and 1.72 mM for M. incognita. Octopamine had the opposite effect of serotonin, increasing J2 head movement frequency at thresholds of 2 mM in H. glycines and 1 mM in M. incognita. Octopamine ED50 values were 32.35 mM and 1.91 mM, respectively. Dopamine had no effect on head movement in either species up to concentrations of 20 mM. Serotonin inhibited hatch in both species but was more potent against H. glycines (90% inhibition at 1 mM) than M. incognita (40% inhibition at 5 mM). Octopamine reduced hatch equally in both species with over 95% inhibition at 80 mM. Dopamine had no effect on hatch in M. incognita but did inhibit H. glycines hatch over 60% at 40 mM. The value of detailed quantitative analyses of plant-parasitic nematode responses to biogenic amines for studies on nematode control is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vaccines and vaccination have emerged during the past two decades as essential tools in avian influenza (AI) control for poultry, because they increase resistance to infection, prevent illness and death, reduce virus replication and shed from respiratory and alimentary tracts, and reduce virus transmission to birds and mammals, including humans. Such protection in birds is primarily mediated by homosubtypic humoral immunity against the hemagglutinin protein, but cell-mediated and innate immunity contribute to protection in some bird species. The immune response to the neuraminidase protein can contribute to protection, but immunity to the viral internal proteins is generally not protective. Although, some preliminary studies with M2e protein in chickens suggest partial protection may be achievable. Historically, the H5 subtype AI vaccines have demonstrated broad homosubtypic protection, primarily against H5 high-pathogenicity (HP) AI viruses isolated in the early stages of outbreaks. However, as H5 viruses have become endemic and outbreaks prolonged, some drift variants with resistance to earlier H5 AI vaccines have emerged in Central America, China, Egypt, and Indonesia. How widespread such drift variants are will remain unknown until more detailed genetic and antigenic analyses are conducted on field isolates. Future vaccines will utilize biotechnology to produce new AI vaccine seed strains using HA genes more closely matching circulating field viruses. In addition, newer technologies for AI vaccines will improve vaccine coverage by using mass application technologies for example by drinking water, by spray, or via injection in ovo or at the hatchery.

AB  - We examined the usefulness of dendrochronological cross-dating methods for studying long-term, interannual growth patterns in freshwater mussels, including validation of annual shell ring formation. Using 13 species from three rivers, we measured increment widths between putative annual rings on shell thin sections and then removed age-related variation by standardizing measurement time series using cubic splines. Initially, cross dating was a valuable quality control technique allowing us to correct interpretive and measurement errors in 16% of specimens. For all species, growth varied among years but was highly synchronous among individuals. Standardized measurement time series of 94% of individuals were significantly correlated with species master chronologies, and mean interseries correlations ranged from 0.37 to 0.96. Growth was also synchronous among species, even from different rivers, and growth was negatively correlated with mean annual streamflow for most species except Quadrula pustulosa from a regulated dam tailrace. Highly synchronous growth and the strong relationship to streamflow showed that large-scale environmental signals generated non-age-related variation in mussel growth giving strong support for annual formation of the growth increments we measured. Cross dating can be a valuable technique for studying freshwater mussel growth providing quality control, validation of annual rings, and reconstruction of long-term growth histories.

AB  - Nous examinons l’utilité des méthodes dendrochronologiques de datation croisée dans l’étude des patrons interannuels de croissance à long terme chez les moules d’eau douce et, en particulier, pour la validation de la formation des anneaux annuels sur la coquille. Chez 13 espèces provenant de trois rivières, nous avons mesuré la largeur des incréments entre les anneaux annuels présumés sur des coupes minces de coquille, puis nous avons éliminé la variation due à l’âge en standardisant les séries chronologiques de mesures à l’aide de fonctions splines de degré 3. Au départ, la datation croisée s’est avérée être une technique précieuse de contrôle de la qualité qui nous a permis de corriger les erreurs d’interprétation et de mesure chez 16 % des spécimens. Chez toutes les espèces, la croissance varie d’une année à l’autre, mais est très synchronisée entre les individus. Les séries chronologiques standardisées des mesures de 94 % des individus sont en corrélation significative avec les chronologies principales des espèces et les corrélations moyennes entre les séries varient de 0,37 à 0,96. La croissance est aussi synchronisée entre les espèces, même de rivières différentes, et la croissance est en corrélation négative avec le débit moyen annuel pour la plupart des espèces, à l’exception de Quadrula pustulosa dans le canal de fuite d’un barrage de régulation des eaux. La croissance fortement synchronisée et la corrélation élevée avec le débit montrent que des signaux environnementaux à grande échelle causent une variation non reliée à l’âge dans la croissance des moules, ce qui confirme nettement la formation annuelle des incréments de croissance que nous avons mesurés. La datation croisée peut être une méthode précieuse pour étudier la croissance des moules d’eau douce en fournissant un contrôle de la qualité, en validant les anneaux annuels et en permettant la reconstruction du déroulement de la croissance sur une grande échelle temporelle.

AB  - We examined attributes of 45 roost sites used by 17 adult male evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis) in a diverse forested landscape within the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas. Bats roosted in a diverse array of substrates, including live or dead Pinus echinata ≥15 cm diam at breast height (29% of roosts) and small (<10 cm) understory or midstory hardwoods (20% of roosts). Sixty-three percent of roosts were in snags, 29% in live trees and 8% were on or near the ground. One roost was located in tree foliage, one in leaf litter and one was underground in what appeared to be a small-mammal burrow. Logistic regression models indicated that sites surrounding roosts were more likely to have fewer stumps and more hardwoods snags ≥10 cm diam at breast height than random sites. At the forest-stand level, all roosts were in stands with a mature (>50 y old) overstory. Twenty-six roosts (58%) were in stands that had undergone partial harvest, midstory removal and burning within the last 6 y, but 13 (50%) of those roosts were in unharvested inclusions (greenbelts) retained along stream drains within these stands; thus, 71% of all roosts were in unharvested patches of forest. Male evening bats were flexible in their roost selection, using a range of tree types (both live and dead), sizes and forest habitats. Possibly because cooler sites allow more frequent use of torpor during summer, they often roosted in small understory snags and in closed-canopy forest stands where these small snags were abundant. However, they also roosted in partially harvested portions of stands where a mature overstory was retained. Our results suggest that management intended to provide optimal roosting sites for females may not be applicable to mate evening bats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Numerous collecting expeditions of Theobroma cacao L. germplasm have been undertaken in Latin-America. However, most of this germplasm has not contributed to cacao improvement because its relationship to cultivated selections was poorly understood. Germplasm labeling errors have impeded breeding and confounded the interpretation of diversity analyses. To improve the understanding of the origin, classification, and population differentiation within the species, 1241 accessions covering a large geographic sampling were genotyped with 106 microsatellite markers. After discarding mislabeled samples, 10 genetic clusters, as opposed to the two genetic groups traditionally recognized within T. cacao, were found by applying Bayesian statistics. This leads us to propose a new classification of the cacao germplasm that will enhance its management. The results also provide new insights into the diversification of Amazon species in general, with the pattern of differentiation of the populations studied supporting the palaeoarches hypothesis of species diversification. The origin of the traditional cacao cultivars is also enlightened in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Astrocyte swelling and brain edema are major neuropathological findings in the acute form of hepatic encephalopathy (fulminant hepatic failure), and substantial evidence supports the view that elevated brain ammonia level is an important etiological factor in this condition. Although the mechanism by which ammonia brings about astrocyte swelling remains to be determined, oxidative/nitrosative stress and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been considered as important elements in this process. One factor known to be activated by both oxidative stress and MAPKs is nuclear factor κB (NFκB), a transcription factor that activates many genes, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). As the product of iNOS, nitric oxide (NO), is known to cause astrocyte swelling, we examined the potential involvement of NFκB in ammonia-induced astrocyte swelling. Western blot analysis of cultured astrocytes showed a significant increase in NFκB nuclear translocation (a measure of NFκB activation) from 12 h to 2 days after treatment with NH4Cl (5 mM). Cultures treated with anti-oxidants, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and vitamin E as well as the MAPKs inhibitors, SB239063 (an inhibitor of p38-MAPK) and SP600125 (an inhibitor of c- Jun N-terminal kinase), significantly diminished NFκB activation by ammonia, supporting a role of oxidative stress and MAPKs in NFκB activation. The activation of NFκB was associated with increased iNOS protein expression and NO generation, and these changes were blocked by BAY 11–7082, an inhibitor of NFκB. Additionally, ammonia-induced astrocyte swelling was inhibited by the NFκB inhibitors, BAY 11–7082 and SN-50, thereby implicating NFκB in the mechanism of astrocyte swelling. Our studies indicate that cultured astrocytes exposed to ammonia display NFκB activation, which is likely to be a consequence of oxidative stress and activation of MAPKs. NFκB activation appears to contribute to the mechanism of ammonia-induced astrocyte swelling, apparently through its up-regulation of iNOS protein expression and the subsequent generation of NO.

AB  - Aim  To integrate ecological fitting, the oscillation hypothesis and the taxon pulse hypothesis into a coherent null model for the evolution of complex host–parasite associations. Location  Global. Methods  This paper reviews and synthesizes literature that focuses on phylogenetic analyses and reciprocal mapping of a model system of hosts and their parasites to determine patterns of host–parasite associations and geographical distributions through time. Results  Host-switching and geographical dispersal of parasites are common phenomena, occurring on many temporal and spatial scales. Diversification involving both co-evolution and colonization explains complex host–parasite associations. Across the expanse of Earth history, the major radiations in host–parasite assemblages have been preceded by ecological disruption, ecological breakdown and host-switching in a context that can be defined by the concept of ecological fitting. This cyclical process sets the stage for co-diversification during periods of relative stability, punctuated by host-switching during episodes of regional to global environmental disruption and climatological change. Main conclusions  Most observed host–parasite associations can be explained by an historical interaction between ecological fitting, oscillation (episodes of increasing host range alternating with isolation on particular hosts) and taxon pulses (cyclical episodes of expansion and isolation in geographical range). Major episodes of environmental change appear to be the main drivers for both the persistence and diversification of host–parasite systems, creating opportunities for host-switching during periods of geographical expansion and allowing for co-evolution and co-speciation during periods of geographical isolation.

AB  - Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 and the related strain Pf-5 are well-characterized representatives of rhizosphere bacteria that have the capacity to protect crop plants from fungal root diseases, mainly by releasing a variety of exoproducts that are toxic to plant pathogenic fungi. Here, we report that the two plant-beneficial pseudomonads also exhibit potent insecticidal activity. Anti-insect activity is linked to a novel genomic locus encoding a large protein toxin termed Fit (for P.  luorescens nsecticidal oxin) that is related to the insect toxin Mcf ( akes aterpillars loppy) of the entomopathogen Photorhabdus luminescens, a mutualist of insect-invading nematodes. When injected into the haemocoel, even low doses of P. fluorescens CHA0 or Pf-5 killed larvae of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta and the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella. In contrast, mutants of CHA0 or Pf-5 with deletions in the Fit toxin gene were significantly less virulent to the larvae. When expressed from an inducible promoter in a non-toxic Escherichia coli host, the Fit toxin gene was sufficient to render the bacterium toxic to both insect hosts. Our findings establish the Fit gene products of P. fluorescens CHA0 and Pf-5 as potent insect toxins that define previously unappreciated anti-insect properties of these plant-colonizing bacteria.

AB  - A set of DNA markers was developed that successfully identifies Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki ( Btk) when screened against other Bacillus species and subspecies. These subspecies-specific primer sets allowed detection and characterization of Btk within an environmental background that contained many Bacillus species. Because Btk is used as an active ingredient in many commercial formulations, yet is not naturally widely distributed in North America or Europe, these markers will prove useful in investigations on the environmental persistence and ecological fate of Btk.

AB  - 1.  Understanding why invading populations sometimes fail to establish is of considerable relevance to the development of strategies for managing biological invasions. 2.  Newly arriving populations tend to be sparse and are often influenced by Allee effects. Mating failure is a typical cause of Allee effects in low-density insect populations, and dispersion of individuals in space and time can exacerbate mate-location failure in invading populations. 3.  Here we evaluate the relative importance of dispersal and sexual asynchrony as contributors to Allee effects in invading populations by adopting as a case study the gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar L.), an important insect defoliator for which considerable demographic information is available. 4.  We used release–recapture experiments to parameterize a model that describes probabilities that males locate females along various spatial and temporal offsets between male and female adult emergence. 5.  Based on these experimental results, we developed a generalized model of mating success that demonstrates the existence of an Allee threshold, below which introduced gypsy moth populations are likely to go extinct without any management intervention.

AB  - Gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), a hypothalamic RFamide, has been found to inhibit gonadotrophin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland originally in birds and, subsequently, in mammalian species. The gene encoding a transmembrane receptor for GnIH (GnIHR) was recently identified in the brain, pituitary gland and gonads of song bird, chicken and Japanese quail. The objectives of the present study are to characterise the expression of GnIHR mRNA and protein in the chicken pituitary gland, and to determine whether sexual maturation and gonadal steroids influence pituitary GnIHR mRNA abundance. GnIHR mRNA quantity was found to be significantly higher in diencephalon compared to either anterior pituitary gland or ovaries. GnIHR mRNA quantity was significantly higher in the pituitaries of sexually immature chickens relative to sexually mature chickens. Oestradiol or a combination of oestradiol and progesterone treatment caused a significant decrease in pituitary GnIHR mRNA quantity relative to vehicle controls. GnIHR-immunoreactive (ir) cells were identified in the chicken pituitary gland cephalic and caudal lobes. Furthermore, GnIHR-ir cells were found to be colocalised with luteinising hormone (LH)β mRNA-, or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)β mRNA-containing cells. GnIH treatment significantly decreased LH release from anterior pituitary gland slices collected from sexually immature, but not from sexually mature chickens. Taken together, GnIHR gene expression is possibly down regulated in response to a surge in circulating oestradiol and progesterone levels as the chicken undergoes sexual maturation to allow gonadotrophin secretion. Furthermore, GnIHR protein expressed in FSHβ or LHβ mRNA-containing cells is likely to mediate the inhibitory effect of GnIH on LH and FSH secretion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Many bacteria contain intracellular microcompartments with outer shells that are composed of thousands of protein subunits and interiors that are filled with functionally related enzymes. These microcompartments serve as organelles by sequestering specific metabolic pathways in bacterial cells. The carboxysome, a prototypical bacterial microcompartment that is found in cyanobacteria and some chemoautotrophs, encapsulates ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) and carbonic anhydrase, and thereby enhances carbon fixation by elevating the levels of CO2 in the vicinity of RuBisCO. Evolutionarily related, but functionally distinct, microcompartments are present in diverse bacteria. Although bacterial microcompartments were first observed more than 40 years ago, a detailed understanding of how they function is only now beginning to emerge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A rising global population and demand for protein-rich diets are increasing pressure to maximize agricultural productivity. Rising atmospheric [CO2] is altering global temperature and precipitation patterns, which challenges agricultural productivity. While rising [CO2] provides a unique opportunity to increase the productivity of C3 crops, average yield stimulation observed to date is well below potential gains. Thus, there is room for improving productivity. However, only a fraction of available germplasm of crops has been tested for CO2 responsiveness. Yield is a complex phenotypic trait determined by the interactions of a genotype with the environment. Selection of promising genotypes and characterization of response mechanisms will only be effective if crop improvement and systems biology approaches are closely linked to production environments, that is, on the farm within major growing regions. Free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments can provide the platform upon which to conduct genetic screening and elucidate the inheritance and mechanisms that underlie genotypic differences in productivity under elevated [CO2]. We propose a new generation of large-scale, low-cost per unit area FACE experiments to identify the most CO2-responsive genotypes and provide starting lines for future breeding programmes. This is necessary if we are to realize the potential for yield gains in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a devastating herbivorous pest of solanaceous plants. Despite the economic impact, little is known about the molecular interaction of CPB with these plants. Using an 11 421 expressed sequence tag (EST) potato microarray, we identified 320 genes differentially expressed in potato leaves in response to CPB herbivory. Amongst these were genes putatively encoding proteinase inhibitors along with enzymes of terpenoid, alkaloid, and phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathways, suggesting the defensive chemistries that constitute potato’s defense against CPB herbivory. Several genes, such as those encoding proteinase inhibitors, represent mechanisms implicated in other plant–herbivory interactions, and could correspond with general defensive chemistry strategies. In other cases, products of the differentially expressed genes may represent taxa-specific defensive chemistry. For example, the presumed alkaloid products of a putative tropinone reductase I are specific to a subset of the Solanaceae. Two herbivory-induced genes, not specific to potato, are implicated in the synthesis of volatiles known to attract CPB predators. Comparison of continuous herbivore attack versus recovery from CPB attack indicates that fewer genes involved in defensive chemistry are induced after continuous feeding than after feeding and recovery, suggesting the plant’s ability to mount a full defense response is enhanced under light versus heavy attack.

AB  - La bête à patate du Colorado (CPB) constitue une peste herbivore dévastatrice chez les Solenaceae. En dépit de ses impacts économiques, on connaît peu de choses sur les interactions moléculaires entre le CPB et ces plantes. En utilisant un microarray 11 421 EST de la pomme de terre, les auteurs ont identifié 320 gènes à expression différentielle dans des feuilles de pommes de terre, en réaction à l'herbivorie par le CPB. Parmi ceux-ci, on retrouve des gènes putatifs codant pour des inhibiteurs de protéinases ainsi que des enzymes des sentiers biosynthétiques de terpénoïdes, d'alcaloïdes et de phénylpropanoïdes, signalant la chimie défensive constituant la défense de la pomme de terre contre l'herbivorie par le CPB. Plusieurs gènes, comme ceux codant des inhibiteurs de protéines, représentent des mécanismes impliqués dans d'autres réactions plante-herbivore, et pourraient correspondre à des stratégies générales de défenses chimiques. Dans d'autres cas, les produits de l'expression génétique différentielle peuvent représenter une chimie défensive spécifique au taxon. Par exemple, les produits alcaloïdes présumés d'une réductase I de la tropinone sont spécifiques à un sous-ensemble de Solenaceae. Deux gènes induits par l'herbivorie, non spécifiques à la pomme de terre, sont impliqués dans la synthèse de substances volatiles, reconnues pour attirer les prédateurs des CPB. La comparaison d'une attaque continue vs le rétablissement d'une attaque par le CPB indique que moins de gènes impliqués dans la chimie défensive sont induits après une attaque soutenue qu'après une attaque avec rétablissement, ce qui suggère que la capacité de la plante à mettre en branle une réaction de défense complète est intensifiée après une attaque courte vs une attaque prolongée.

AB  - A full-length cDNA clone, SbSnRK1b (1530 bp, GenBank accession no. EF544393), encoding a putative serine/threonine protein kinase homologue of yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) SNF1, was isolated from developing endosperm of sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Multiple sequence alignment data showed a phylogenetic affiliation of the sorghum clone with the SnRK1b group of protein kinases that are highly expressed in cereal seed endosperm. The DNA gel blot analyses indicated that SbSnRK1b gene is present as a single- or low copy number gene in sorghum. The RNA and protein gel blot analyses confirmed the expression of SbSnRK1b in developing sorghum caryopses, overlapping with the starch biosynthesis phase, 12–24 days after fertilization. In situ hybridization and immunolocalization data resolved the spatial specificity of SbSnRK1b expression in the basal endosperm transfer cell layer, the unique port of assimilate unloading in the growing sorghum seed. Expression of SbSnRK1b was also evident in the developing sorghum microspores, coincident with the onset of starch deposition phase. As in sorghum, similar spatiotemporal specificity of SnRK1b expression was observed during maize ( Zea mays L.) seed development. However, discordant in situ hybridization and immunolocalization data indicated that the expression of SbSnRK1b homologue in maize is under posttranscriptional control during endosperm development.

AB  - Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) infection can result in immunosuppression, a runting syndrome, high mortality, acute reticulum cell neoplasia, or T-cell and/or B-cell lymphomas, in a variety of domestic and wild birds. Histopathological changes in REV infection are not sufficient to differentiate it from avian lymphoid leukosis and Marek's disease, and currently there are no available in situ diagnostic methods for detection of active REV presence in pathologic specimens. To develop immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization assays for detection of REV active infections, experimentally inoculated Japanese quail embryos, and archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from natural and experimental reticuloendotheliosis cases in chickens and turkeys, were examined. The in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry assays proved to be efficient for the detection of several REV strains in Japanese quail embryos during active infection, whereas these assays were much less sensitive when applied to archived tissue samples from chronically infected birds with lymphoid tumours. The diagnostic assays developed in this study have potential as diagnostic tools for detection of active REV infections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1.  Considerable effort is expended by national and local governments to exclude alien species via detection and eradication of invading populations, but these efforts are not necessarily designed in the most economically or biologically efficient manner. 2.  Using the invasion of the European strain of the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar into the USA as a case study, we develop an analytical model to determine the optimal trap density for detecting isolated infestations. Most models focus on monitoring or eradication costs only; our model considers the costs of both detection and eradication when determining the best monitoring strategy. 3.  The model assumes that all isolated populations must be located and eradicated by the conclusion of a programme. For programmes lasting longer than 1 year, it is more worthwhile to proactively monitor and manage rather than to wait until the programme is over. 4.  For a management programme of a given length, optimal trap density is most influenced by the growth rate of the infestation. Optimal trap densities are lowest for infestations with very low growth rates (because they remain small and therefore are less expensive to eradicate) or very high growth rates (because they are easier to detect), and highest for infestations with moderate growth rates (because they are neither inexpensive to eradicate nor easy to detect). 5.  Our model is useful in setting a baseline level of monitoring for isolated incidents of gypsy moth invasion. Analysis of data in two US states show that actual trap densities are far higher than the optimal densities from the model. The difference suggests risk aversion may play a role in real systems. 6.  Synthesis and applications. Our model suggests that we can improve the efficiency of detection and eradication programmes for isolated infestations by optimizing detection effort relative to infestation growth rates and management programme duration. It also clearly demonstrates the importance of balancing the costs and benefits of both detection and eradication when developing invasive species monitoring programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1 Populations of Ips pini (Say) in northern Arizona and western Montana, U.S.A., were studied to determine regional pheromone response and to evaluate seasonal shifts in that response. A range of enantiomeric blends of the attractant ipsdienol, alone and in the presence of the synergist lanierone, were tested during spring and summer seasons over several years. 2 Both populations were most attracted to high levels of ( R)-(–)-ipsdienol, and lanierone was highly synergistic. 3 A significant seasonal shift in pheromone response between spring and summer seasons was found in both regions in both years. Shifts resulted in a more specific preference for the pheromone treatment of 97% ( R)-(–)-ipsdienol with lanierone. 4 Several coleopteran insect associates of I. pini also displayed responses to the ipsdienol and lanierone treatments. Temnochila chlorodia (Mannerheim) (Trogositidae), Enoclerus sphegeus (F.) (Cleridae) and, to a limited extent, Lasconotus laqueatus (LeConte) (Colydiidae) were attracted to higher proportions of ( R)-(–)-ipsdienol with no apparent reaction to the presence of lanierone. Orthotomicus latidens (LeConte) (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) was strongly attracted to ( S)-(+)-ipsdienol with Enoclerus lecontei (Wolcott) (Cleridae), Pityogenes carinulatus (LeConte) (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and Hylurgops porosus (LeConte) (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) demonstrating some preferences for the ( S)-(+)-enantiomer. However, lanierone was synergistic for E. lecontei and P. carinulatus, inhibitory for O. latidens, and produced no significant reaction for H. porosus. Elacatis sp. (Salpingidae, previously Othniidae) was attracted to the presence of ipsdienol but displayed no preference to the enantiomeric ratios of ipsdienol or the presence of lanierone.

Only a subset of the diversity present in the ancestral species survives in the domestic counterparts. A 2007 report released by UN Food and Agriculture Organization ‘ The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources’, compiled from surveys conducted in 169 countries, found that nearly 70% of the world’s remaining livestock breeds live in developing countries. The UN report was presented to more than 300 policy makers, scientists, breeders, and livestock keepers at the First International Technical Conference on Animal Genetic Resources, held in September 2007 in Interlaken, Switzerland. The conference aims were to adopt a global plan of action for conserving animal genetic resources as its main outcome. In this paper, the current and potential contributions of reproductive and molecular biotechnology are considered as tools of conserving rare breeds of livestock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fruits are a major source of nutrition in human diets, providing carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and phytonutrients. Carotenoids are a principal class of compounds found in many fruits, providing nutritional benefits both as precursors to essential vitamins and as antioxidants. Molecular characterization revealed that the tomato high pigment mutant genes ( hp1 and hp2) encode UV-DAMAGED DNA BINDING PROTEIN-1 (DDB1) and DE-ETIOLATED-1 (DET1) homologs, respectively, and both are essential components of the recently identified CUL4-based E3 ligase complex. Here we have isolated a tomato CUL4 homolog and performed yeast two-hybrid assays to suggest possible association of tomato DDB1 with CUL4 and DET1. Real-time RT-PCR analysis indicated that both HP1 and CUL4 are expressed constitutively. Abscisic acid is implicated in plastid division control and its application substantially enhances HP1/DDB1 mRNA accumulation. Transformation of constructs expressing CUL4–YFP and DDB1–YFP fusion proteins driven by the CaMV 35S promoter reveals that both CUL4 and DDB1 are targeted to tomato plastids and nuclei simultaneously. Using fruit-specific promoters combined with RNAi technology, we show that downregulated DDB1 expression in transgenic fruits results in a significant increase in the number of plastids and corresponding enhanced pigment accumulation. CUL4-RNAi repression lines provide insight regarding CUL4 function during tomato development, and reveal that this tomato cullin is important in the regulation of plastid number and pigmentation, which in turn have a direct impact on fruit nutrient quality.

AB  - This analysis quantifies projected carbon (C) storage in harvested wood products (HWP) from Ontario’s Crown forests. The large-scale forest C budget model, FORCARB-ON, was applied to estimate HWP C stock changes using the production approach defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Harvested wood volume was converted to C mass and allocated to four HWP end-use categories: in use, landfill, energy, and emission. The redistribution of C over time among HWP end-use categories was calculated using a product age-based C-distribution matrix. Carbon emissions for harvest, transport, and manufacturing, as well as emission reductions from the use of wood in place of other construction materials and fossil fuels were not accounted for. Considering the wood harvested from Ontario Crown forests from 1951 to 2000 and the projected harvest from 2001 to 2100, C storage in HWP in use and in landfills is projected to increase by 3.6 Mt·year–1 during 2001–2100, with an additional 1.2 Mt·year–1 burned for energy. Annual additions of C projected for HWP far outweighs the annual increase of C storage in Ontario’s Crown forests managed for harvest, which is projected to increase by 0.1 Mt·year–1 during the same period. These projections indicate that regulated harvest in Ontario results in a steadily increasing C sink in HWP and forests. Uncertainties in HWP C estimation are also discussed. Cette analyse quantifie la séquestration prévue du carbone (C) dans les produits du bois provenant des forêts publiques de l’Ontario. Le modèle de bilan à grande échelle de C de la forêt, FORCARB-ON, a été utilisé pour estimer les changements dans les stocks de carbone associés aux produits du bois à l’aide de l’approche de production définie par le « Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ». Le bois récolté a été converti en masse de C et alloué à quatre catégories d’utilisation ultime des produits du bois : en usage, enfouissement, énergie et émission. La redistribution de C dans le temps parmi les catégories d’utilisation ultime des produits du bois a été calculée à l’aide d’une matrice de distribution de C basée sur l’âge des produits. Les émissions de C engendrées par la récolte, le transport et la transformation ainsi que la réduction des émissions due à l’utilisation du bois à la place d’autres matériaux de construction et des combustibles fossiles n’ont pas été comptabilisées. En tenant compte du bois récolté sur les terres publiques de l’Ontario de 1951 à 2000 et de la récolte prévue de 2001 à 2100, la séquestration de C dans les produits du bois en usage et dans les enfouissements devrait augmenter de 3,6 Mt·an–1 de 2001 à 2100 et l’utilisation du bois à des fins énergétiques devrait générer 1,2 Mt·an–1 de plus. Les prévisions d’ajout annuel de C dans les produits du bois dépassent largement l’augmentation annuelle de la séquestration de C dans les forêts publiques aménagées de l’Ontario qui devrait atteindre 0,1 Mt·an–1 pendant la même période. Ces projections indiquent que la récolte réglementée en Ontario se traduit par un puits de C qui augmente régulièrement dans les produits du bois et les forêts. Les incertitudes associées à l’estimation de C dans les produits du bois sont également abordées dans la discussion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Stripe rust [caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. ( Pst)] is a destructive disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. High-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance to stripe rust is race non-specific, inherited quantitatively and durable. Previously, we identified and mapped the single Yr39 HTAP stripe rust resistance gene in the spring wheat cultivar Alpowa, which was identified on chromosome 7BL and accounted for 64.2% of the variation in resistance. To identify transcripts associated with Yr39-mediated resistance, we selected two F7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from an ‘Avocet S/Alpowa’ cross that differed at the Yr39 locus to represent an incompatible ( Yr39) and compatible ( yr39) interaction with Pst. Using the Affymetrix Wheat GeneChip, we profiled the transcript changes occurring in flag leaves of these two RILs over a time-course after treatment with Pst urediniospores and mock-inoculation. This time-course study identified 99 induced transcripts that were classified as HTAP resistance-specific. The temporal pattern of transcript accumulation showed a peak at 48 h after infection, which was supported by microscopic observation of fungal development and quantitative PCR assays that showed a rapid increase in fungal biomass after this time in the compatible interaction. More than half (50.5%) of the annotated transcripts specifically induced during HTAP resistance were involved in defence and/or signal transduction, including R gene homologues and transcripts associated with pathogenesis-related protein production, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and protein kinase signalling. This study represents the first transcript profiling of HTAP resistance to stripe rust in wheat, and we compare our results with other transcript studies of race-specific and race non-specific resistance.

AB  - To gain knowledge of visual specializations influencing the behavior of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann, 1780)), we examined gross eye characteristics, structural organization of the retina, and the density and distribution of cone photoreceptors. White-tailed deer possess ocular features similar to other ungulates including a horizontal slit pupil, reflective tapetum lucidum, typical retinal structure, and medium wavelength sensitive cone photoreceptors concentrated in a horizontal visual streak. The tapetum was found to cover the superior portion of the eye and overlapped the horizontal visual streak. Comparisons between fawns and adults did not reveal any differences in retinal thickness, retinal nuclei counts, or cone photoreceptor counts. While M-cones had increased density in the visual streak, S-cones were distributed evenly across the entire retina. Schematic eye calculations of a 0.5-year-old deer indicated a hyperopic eye (+7.96) with a F/# ranging from 5.55 to 1.39 for pupil diameters of 3 to 12 mm. As expected for a crepuscularly active prey species, the visual system of white-tailed deer is specialized for sensitivity in low-light conditions and detection of predators. Afin de connaître les spécialisations visuelles qui influencent le comportement du cerf de Virginie (Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann, 1780)), nous avons examiné les caractéristiques grossières de l’œil et l’organisation structurale de la rétine et déterminé la densité et la répartition des cônes photorécepteurs. Les cerfs de Virginie possèdent des caractéristiques oculaires semblables à celles d’autres ongulés, en particulier une pupille à fente horizontale, un tapetum lucidum réfléchissant, une structure rétinienne typique et des cônes photorécepteurs sensibles aux longueurs d’onde moyennes concentrés dans une bande visuelle horizontale. Le tapetum couvre la portion supérieure de l’oeil et recouvre la bande visuelle horizontale. Des comparaisons entre les faons et les adultes ne montrent aucune différence dans l’épaisseur de la rétine, le dénombrement des noyaux rétiniens, ni le dénombrement de cônes photorécepteurs. Alors que les cônes M ont une densité plus élevée dans la bande visuelle, les cônes S se répartissent uniformément sur toute la rétine. Des calculs schématiques de l’œil d’un cerf âgé de 0,5 an indiquent que l’œil est hypermétrope (+7,96) avec une valeur de F/# variant de 5,55 à 1,39 pour des diamètres de pupille de 3 à 12 mm. Comme on peut s’y attendre chez une espèce active au crépuscule, le système visuel du cerf de Virginie se spécialise pour une sensibilité aux conditions de lumière basses et pour la détection des prédateurs.

AB  - Elm breeding programs worldwide have relied heavily on Asian elm germplasm, particularly Ulmus pumila, for the breeding of Dutch elm disease tolerant cultivars. However, the extent and patterning of genetic variation in Asian elm species is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the extent of genetic diversity among 53 U. pumila accessions collected throughout the People’s Republic of China. Using 23 microsatellite loci recently developed in the genus Ulmus, a total of 94 alleles were identified in 15 polymorphic and 4 monomorphic loci. The average number of alleles per locus was 4.9, with a range of 1-11 alleles. Gene diversity estimates per locus ranged from 0.08 to 0.87, and the non-exclusion probability for the 15 polymorphic loci combined was 0.7 × 10-9. Nineteen region-specific alleles were identified, and regional gene diversity estimates were moderately high (0.48-0.57). The genetic relationships among accessions and regions were estimated by UPGMA and principal coordinate analysis. Both techniques discriminated all accessions and regions. Two microsatellite markers (UR175 + UR123 or Ulm-3) were sufficient to discriminate up to 99.7% of the accessions studied. This research provides useful information for DNA-based fingerprinting, breeding, ecological studies, and diversity assessment of elm germplasm. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les programmes d’amélioration génétique des ormes à travers le monde font appel principalement aux ormes asiatiques, particulièrement l’Ulmus pumila, pour le développement de cultivars tolérants à la maladie hollandaise de l’orme. Cependant l’étendue et la distribution de la variation génétique chez les ormes asiatiques sont peu connues. L’objectif de notre recherche était donc de déterminer l’étendue de la diversité génétique au sein de 53 accessions d’U. pumila provenant de l’ensemble de la République populaire de Chine. En utilisant 23 microsatellites récemment développés chez le genre Ulmus, nous avons identifié 94 allèles chez 15 locus polymorphes et 4 locus monomorphes. En moyenne nous avons obtenu 4,9 allèles par locus; le nombre d’allèles par locus variant entre 1 et 11. Les estimés de diversité génétique par région géographique variaient entre 0,08 et 0,87, et la probabilité de non-exclusion pour les 15 loci polymorphes ensemble était de 0,7 × 10-9. Nous avons identifié 19 allèles qui étaient spécifiques d’une région. La diversité génétique au sein des régions était assez élevée, variant entre 0,48 et 0,57. Pour estimer les relations génétiques entre les accessions et régions, nous avons utilisé l’analyse UPGMA ainsi que des analyses en coordonnées principales. Les deux méthodes ont distingué toutes nos accessions et régions géographiques. Deux de nos marqueurs microsatellites (UR175 + UR123 ou Ulm-3) ont permis d’identifier 99,7 % de nos accessions. Cette recherche présente des données utiles pour l’établissement d’empreintes génétiques, des travaux en amélioration génétique, des études futures en écologie évolutive et l’évaluation de la diversité du plasma germinatif chez les ormes.

Variability in climatic drivers may directly affect fluxes, but also may indirectly affect fluxes by altering the response of the biota to the environment, an effect termed ‘functional change’. We measured net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) and its diurnal components, daytime ecosystem CO2 exchange ( PD) and night-time respiration ( RE), on grazed and ungrazed mixed-grass prairie in North Dakota, USA, for five growing seasons. Our primary objective was to determine how climatic anomalies influence variability in CO2 exchange. We used regression analysis to distinguish direct effects of IAV in climate on fluxes from functional change. Functional change was quantified as the improvement in regression on fitting a model in which slopes of flux–climate relationships vary among years rather than remain invariant. Functional change and direct effects of climatic variation together explained about 20% of variance in weekly means of NEE, PD, and RE. Functional change accounted for more than twice the variance in fluxes of direct effects of climatic variability. Grazing did not consistently influence the contribution of functional change to flux variability, but altered which environmental variable best explained year-to-year differences in flux–climate slopes, reduced IAV in seasonal means of fluxes, lessened the strength of flux–climate correlations, and increased NEE by reducing RE relatively more than PD. Most of these trends are consistent with the interpretation that grazing reduced the influence of plants on ecosystem fluxes. Because relationships between weekly values of fluxes and climatic regulators changed annually, year-to-year differences in the C balance of these ecosystems cannot be predicted from knowledge of IAV in climate alone.

AB  - Skunk vine, Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae), is native to Asia and has been recognized as an invasive weedy vine of natural areas in Florida and Hawaii. Two insects, Trachyaphthona sordida and Trachyaphthona nigrita (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from Japan are being considered as potential biological control agents against skunk vine. To gather fundamental information on their biology, we carried out field surveys and laboratory experiments in Kyushu, southern Japan, between 2003 and 2006. We found that T. sordida is commonly distributed in Kyushu and T. nigrita is restricted to the southern parts of Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern part of Kyushu. These species are fundamentally univoltine and adults appear in late April to early July. Trachyaphthona sordida overwinters as mature larvae and T. nigrita as mature larvae or rarely as adults. Larvae of both species feed on fine roots of P. foetida in the field and Serissa foetida (Rubiaceae) under rearing conditions, and they appear to have tribe-level host specificity in their host range. On the basis of these results, we suggest that both species are suitable as biological control agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Anecdotal occurrence data (unverifiable observations of organisms or their sign) and inconclusive physical data are often used to assess the current and historical ranges of rare or elusive species. However, the use of such data for species conservation can lead to large errors of omission and commission, which can influence the allocation of limited funds and the efficacy of subsequent conservation efforts. We present three examples of biological misunderstandings, all of them with significant conservation implications, that resulted from the acceptance of anecdotal observations as empirical evidence. To avoid such errors, we recommend that a priori standards constrain the acceptance of occurrence data, with more stringent standards applied to the data for rare species. Because data standards are likely to be taxon specific, professional societies should develop specific evidentiary standards to use when assessing occurrence data for their taxa of interest.

AB  - Biome-scale disturbances by eruptive herbivores provide valuable insights into species interactions, ecosystem function, and impacts of global change. We present a conceptual framework using one system as a model, emphasizing interactions across levels of biological hierarchy and spatiotemporal scales. Bark beetles are major natural disturbance agents in western North American forests. However, recent bark beetle population eruptions have exceeded the frequencies, impacts, and ranges documented during the previous 125 years. Extensive host abundance and susceptibility, concentrated beetle density, favorable weather, optimal symbiotic associations, and escape from natural enemies must occur jointly for beetles to surpass a series of thresholds and exert widespread disturbance. Opposing feedbacks determine qualitatively distinct outcomes at junctures at the biochemical through landscape levels. Eruptions occur when key thresholds are surpassed, prior constraints cease to exert influence, and positive feedbacks amplify across scales. These dynamics are bidirectional, as landscape features influence how lower-scale processes are amplified or buffered. Climate change and reduced habitat heterogeneity increase the likelihood that key thresholds will be exceeded, and may cause fundamental regime shifts. Systems in which endogenous feedbacks can dominate after external forces foster the initial breach of thresholds appear particularly sensitive to anthropogenic perturbations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Short-term physiological responses of planting frozen (FR) and rapidly thawed (TR) root plugs of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were examined through time series (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days) measurements in two separate experiments: 10 °C day : 6 °C night, RH 75% and 30 °C day : 20 °C night, RH 50%, respectively. Net photosynthesis, transpiration, shoot water potential, and root hydraulic conductance were lower in FR compared with TR seedlings under both growing conditions. Magnitude of difference in root hydraulic conductance was higher under warm-dry conditions. Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) values were higher for TR than FR seedlings at 0 h, but similar thereafter for both growing conditions. Needle electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll content did not differ between FR and TR seedlings under both environmental regimes. Higher root O2 uptake was observed in FR seedlings in warm-dry conditions and in TR seedlings under cool-moist conditions. TR seedlings planted under warm-dry conditions had more flushed buds and new roots than FR seedlings, while no buds flushed for both FR and TR seedlings under cool-moist conditions. Comparatively higher photosynthesic rates in TR seedlings planted under warm-dry conditions likely contributed toward more new roots, which could be advantageous for survival and early growth.

AB  - Les réactions physiologiques de deux traitements de motte radiculaire (gelée (FR) ou décongelée (TR)) sur les semis de douglas vert (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) ont été étudiées en fonction du temps (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 jour, 3 jours et 7 jours) et de deux conditions de croissances : froides et humides (10 °C jour : 6 °C nuit, taux d’humidité relative de 75 %) ou chaudes et sèches (30 °C jour : 20 °C nuit, taux d’humidité relative de 50 %). Les auteurs ont observé un taux de photosynthèse nette, un taux de transpiration, un potentiel hydrique des pousses et une conductance hydraulique des racines plus faibles avec les semis FR par rapport aux semis TR et ce pour les deux conditions de croissance. La différence de conductance hydraulique des racines était plus marquée dans les conditions de croissance chaudes et sèches. Les mesures de fluorescence de la chlorophylle (Fv/Fm) étaient plus élevées pour les semis TR par rapport aux semis FR à 0 h, ensuite les valeurs étaient similaires pour les deux conditions de croissance. La libération d’électrolytes des aiguilles et le contenu en chlorophylle n’ont pas été affectés par les traitements et les conditions de croissance. Le taux d’accumulation d’oxygène des racines était plus élevé pour les semis FR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches ainsi que pour les semis TR dans les conditions froides et humides. Les semis TR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches ont développé plus de bourgeons et de nouvelles racines par rapport aux semis FR. Dans les conditions de croissance froides et humides, aucun bourgeon ne s’est développé pour les deux traitements de mottes radiculaires. Le taux relatif plus élevé de photosynthèse des semis TR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches a possiblement contribué au développement de nouvelles racines, ce qui pourrait être avantageux pour la survie et la croissance à court terme des semis de douglas vert.

AB  - It has been hypothesized that yellow-cedar [ Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach] decline may result from root freezing injury following climate change-induced reductions in protective snow cover. To test this hypothesis, we measured the freezing tolerance and injury expression of yellow-cedar seedlings in three treatments that differed in the insulative protection they provided to soils during winter and spring: (1) full exposure to ambient temperatures (exposed treatment), (2) continuous protection from ambient temperatures via addition of perlite over pots (full protection), and (3) perlite protection only during winter and exposure to ambient temperatures during spring (partial protection). Foliage from all treatments was cold tolerant enough to prevent foliar freezing injury throughout the study period. However, on all sample dates, roots of seedlings from all treatments were only tolerant to about −5 °C – a level considerably warmer than the reported maximum cold tolerance for the species and well above the soil temperature recorded in the exposed treatment. As a result of this limited root cold tolerance, visibly uninjured roots of seedlings from the exposed treatment had significantly higher relative electrolyte leakage (REL) throughout the winter and early spring than seedlings in soil protection treatments. Seedlings from the exposed treatment also had significantly higher foliar REL values and greater visual foliar injury than seedlings from the other treatments starting in early spring. For both roots and foliage, REL measurements consistently detected tissue damage before visual injury was evident. Patterns of injury from both REL and visual injury assessments showed the same pattern: damage began with freezing injury to roots and subsequently became evident as foliar browning after spring temperatures increased. All seedlings in the exposed treatment eventually had 100% fine root damage and died. This progression of initial root damage followed by foliar browning and mortality after the onset of warming conditions is consistent with reports of yellow-cedar decline symptom development in the field.

AB  - We surveyed the genetic diversity among avian influenza virus (AIV) in wild birds, comprising 167 complete viral genomes from 14 bird species sampled in four locations across the United States. These isolates represented 29 type A influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) subtype combinations, with up to 26% of isolates showing evidence of mixed subtype infection. Through a phylogenetic analysis of the largest data set of AIV genomes compiled to date, we were able to document a remarkably high rate of genome reassortment, with no clear pattern of gene segment association and occasional inter-hemisphere gene segment migration and reassortment. From this, we propose that AIV in wild birds forms transient ''genome constellations,'' continually reshuffled by reassortment, in contrast to the spread of a limited number of stable genome constellations that characterizes the evolution of mammalian-adapted influenza A viruses.

AB  - Climate change can cause major changes to the dynamics of individual species and to those communities in which they interact. One effect of increasing temperatures is on insect voltinism, with the logical assumption that increases in surface temperatures would permit multivoltine species to increase the number of generations per year. Though insect development is primarily driven by temperature, most multivoltine insect species rely on photoperiodic cues, which do not change from year-to-year or in response to climate warming, to initiate diapause. Thus, the relationship between climate change and voltinism could be complex. We use a phenology model for grape berry moth, Paralobesia viteana (Clemens), which incorporates temperature-dependent development and diapause termination, and photoperiod-dependent diapause induction, to explore historical patterns in year-to-year voltinism fluctuations. We then extend this model to predict voltinism under varying scenarios of climate change to show the importance of both the quality and quantity of accumulated heat units. We also illustrate that increases in mean surface temperatures > 2 °C can have dramatic effects on insect voltinism by causing a shift in the ovipositional period that currently is subject to diapause-inducing photoperiods.

AB  - Objective:To assess the internal validity of a multiple-item measure of household food security in Brazil using statistical methods based on the single-parameter logistic (Rasch) measurement model.Subjects/Methods:Sample of the non-institutionalized civilian population living in the municipality of Campinas selected using stratified cluster sampling. Of the 1000 households randomly chosen, 847 responded to the interview. Responses to each of the 15 questions were coded into dichotomous items indicating whether the specific food-insecure condition had occurred (other than in just 1 or 2 days) during the 3 months before the survey. Scaling analyses were conducted separately as well as jointly for adult/household-related items and child-related items. Item-fit statistics were examined to determine the extent to which the items appear to measure the same underlying phenomenon, and item severity scores were compared with those of equivalent items in the US Current Population Survey.Results:Except for one item, infit statistics were within a range considered adequate (0.80–1.2), indicating a common phenomenon being measured with approximately equal discrimination. The relative severites of the items in the Campinas survey were generally similar to those of equivalent items in the US Current Population Survey. Analysis of all 15 items together indicates a higher severity level for child-related items compared with equivalent adult-related items.Conclusions:This analysis will serve as the prototype for confirming the psychometric validity of a food insecurity scale at a national level.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 665–673; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602760; published online 18 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To assess the associations between serum folate concentration and measures of adiposity in postmenopausal women.Design:This study was conducted as a cross-sectional analysis within the control segment of a randomized, crossover trial in which postmenopausal women (n=51) consumed 0 g (control), 15 g (one drink) and 30 g (two drinks) alcohol (ethanol)/day for 8 weeks as part of a controlled diet. Subjects in one treatment arm were crossed-over to another arm after a 2- to 5-week washout period. Body mass index (BMI) was measured, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan administered to the women during the control (0 g alcohol) treatment, and a blood sample from this group was collected at baseline and week 8 of each diet period and analyzed for folate, B12, homocysteine and methylmalonic acid.Setting:This study was conducted at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, MD, USA.Results:In multivariate analysis, women who were overweight had a 12% lower, and obese women had a 22% lower serum folate concentrations compared to normal weight women (P-trend=0.02). Vitamin B12 also decreased with increasing BMI (P-trend=0.08). Increased BMI, percent body fat, and absolute amounts of central and peripheral fat were all significantly associated with decreased serum folate, but were unrelated to serum B12, homocysteine or methylmalonic acid.Conclusions:Our data show that adiposity is associated with lower serum folate levels in postmenopausal women. With obesity at epidemic proportions, these data, if confirmed by prospective or randomized controlled studies, have important public health implications.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 644–650; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602771; published online 25 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international working bodies. To tackle the issues surrounding the development of better descriptions of genomic investigations, we have formed the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC). Here, we introduce the minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification with the intent of promoting participation in its development and discussing the resources that will be required to develop improved mechanisms of metadata capture and exchange. As part of its wider goals, the GSC also supports improving the 'transparency' of the information contained in existing genomic databases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The pathogenicity of three different type 2 turkey astroviruses (TAstV-2) was studied in specific pathogen free turkeys. These viruses differ based on sequence analysis of the capsid gene. Poults were inoculated at 2 days of age and examined during 14 days for clinical signs and virus shedding. All inoculated poults presented signs of enteric disease including diarrhoea and growth depression. Virus presence and shedding was detected by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction from intestinal contents and cloacal swabs collected at 3, 7 and 14 days post-inoculation. Viraemia was also confirmed by this method. Common lesions observed at necropsy were dehydration; distended intestines filled with watery contents and undigested feed, and dilated caeca with foamy contents. Microscopic lesions present in the intestines consisted of mild crypt hyperplasia, villous atrophy and lymphocytic infiltration, and were most common in the jejunum. Presence of the viruses was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and by in situ hybridization in both villi and crypt enterocytes in the jejunum and, less frequently, the duodenum, ileum and caeca. Mild lesions consisting mainly of lymphocytic infiltration were also observed in other organs including the pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys. Mild to moderate bursal atrophy occurred in all TAstV-2-infected poults examined; however, no specific viral staining was observed in this organ or any other tissues examined apart from the intestines. In conclusion, TAstV-2 viruses with variant capsids produce a similar enteric disease in young turkeys and may also affect the immune system of the birds by causing bursal lymphoid depletion.

AB  - Lipid biosynthesis in plant cells is associated with various organelles, and maintenance of cell lipid homeostasis requires nimble regulation and coordination. In plants, environmental cues such as phosphate limitation require readjustment of the lipid biosynthetic machinery to substitute phospholipids by non-phosphorous glycolipids. Biosynthesis of the galactoglycerolipids predominant in plants proceeds by a constitutive and an alternative pathway that is known to be induced in response to phosphate deprivation. Plant lipid galactosyltransferases involved in both pathways are associated with the plastid envelope membranes and are encoded by nuclear genes. To identify mechanisms governing the activity of the alternative galactoglycerolipid pathway, a genetic suppressor screen was conducted in the background of the digalactolipid-deficient dgd1 mutant of Arabidopsis. A suppressor line that partially restored digalactoglycerolipid content in the dgd1 background carries a point mutation in a mitochondrial protein, which was tentatively designated DGD1 SUPPRESSOR 1 (DGS1). Presumed orthologs of this protein are present in plants, algae and fungi, but its molecular function is not yet known. In the dgd1 dgs1 double mutant, expression of nuclear genes encoding enzymes of the alternative galactoglycerolipid pathway is increased and hydrogen peroxide levels are elevated. This increase in hydrogen peroxide is proposed to be the reason for activation of the alternative pathway in the dgd1 dgs1 double mutant. Accordingly, hydrogen peroxide and treatments producing reactive oxygen also activate the alternative pathway in the wild-type. These results likely implicate the production of reactive oxygen in the regulation of the alternative galactoglycerolipid pathway in plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Introduction: Low dietary intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or foods rich in lutein may be associated with increased risk of cognitive decline in the elderly. Subjects and methods: The cognitive benefit of DHA and lutein in unimpaired elder women was explored in the context of a 4-month, double-blind, intervention trial of DHA and lutein supplementation for eye health. Forty-nine women (aged 60–80 years) were randomized to receive DHA (800 mg/day; n = 14), lutein (12 mg/day; n = 11), a combination of DHA and lutein (n = 14) or placebo (n = 10). Subjects underwent cognitive tests measuring verbal fluency, memory, processing speed and accuracy, and self-reports of mood at randomization and upon completion of the trial. Results: Following supplementation, verbal fluency scores improved significantly in the DHA, lutein, and combined treatment groups (P < 0.03). Memory scores and rate of learning improved significantly in the combined treatment group (P < 0.03), who also displayed a trend toward more efficient learning (P = 0.07). Measures of mental processing speed, accuracy and mood were not affected by supplementation. Conclusions: These exploratory findings suggest that DHA and lutein supplementation may have cognitive benefit for older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To investigate the magnitude and relative contribution of different sources of measurement errors present in the estimation of food intake via the 24-h recall technique.Design:We applied variance decomposition methods to the difference between data obtained from the USDA's Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) 24-h recall technique and measured food intake (MFI) from a 16-week cafeteria-style feeding study. The average and the variance of biases, defined as the difference between AMPM and MFI, were analyzed by macronutrient content, subject and nine categories of foods.Subjects:Twelve healthy, lean men (age, 39±9 year; weight, 79.9±8.3 kg; and BMI, 24.1±1.4 kg/m2).Results:Mean food intakes for AMPM and MFI were not significantly different (no overall bias), but within-subject differences for energy (EI), protein, fat and carbohydrate intakes were 14, 18, 23 and 15% of daily intake, respectively. Mass (incorrect portion size) and deletion (subject did not report foods eaten) errors were each responsible for about one-third of the total error. Vegetables constituted 8% of EI but represented >25% of the error across macronutrients, whereas grains that contributed 32% of EI contributed only 12% of the error across macronutrients.Conclusions:Although the major sources of reporting error were mass and deletion errors, individual subjects differed widely in the magnitude and types of errors they made.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 544–552; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602742; published online 11 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This communication reports conversion phenomena in which CO2 and H2O gases are transformed into CO and H2, respectively, when exposed to a mixture of molten CaO-rich metallurgical slag and V2O3-rich gasifier slag. On reaction, CO2 and H2O are thermodynamically driven to become CO and H2, respectively, by giving up oxygen over the formation of calcium orthovanadate in the slag. The concept was experimentally investigated with a synthetic slag heated to 1500 °C (an assumed slag tap-out temperature in the metallurgical industry) in a CO2 saturated atmosphere. On heating, a rapid drop in oxygen partial pressure occurred between 1405 °C and 1460 °C, where 97% of CO2 transformed to CO. Potential industrial applications with the H2O-to-H2 conversion are then explored using detailed process computations. If the process is made economically viable, CO2 and H2O could be converted into products that are environmentally and industrially attractive and that have the potential for energy savings and greenhouse gas reduction in a process.

AB  - Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change. Plausible estimates of these climate change impacts require combined use of climate, crop, and economic models. Results from previous studies vary substantially due to differences in models, scenarios, and data. This paper is part of a collective effort to systematically integrate these three types of models. We focus on the economic component of the assessment, investigating how nine global economic models of agriculture represent endogenous responses to seven standardized climate change scenarios produced by two climate and five crop models. These responses include adjustments in yields, area, consumption, and international trade. We apply biophysical shocks derived from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's representative concentration pathway with end-of-century radiative forcing of 8.5 W/m². The mean biophysical yield effect with no incremental CO2 fertilization is a 17% reduction globally by 2050 relative to a scenario with unchanging climate. Endogenous economic responses reduce yield loss to 11%, increase area of major crops by 11%, and reduce consumption by 3%. Agricultural production, cropland area, trade, and prices showthe greatest degree of variability in response to climate change, and consumption the lowest. The sources of these differences include model structure and specification; in particular, model assumptions about ease of land use conversion, intensification, and trade. This study identifies where models disagree on the relative responses to climate shocks and highlights research activities needed to improve the representation of agricultural adaptation responses to climate change.

AB  - The adequate time to perform physical activity (PA) to maintain optimal circadian system health has not been defined. We studied the influence of morning and evening PA on circadian rhythmicity in 16 women with wrist temperature (WT). Participants performed controlled PA (45 min continuous-running) during 7 days in the morning (MPA) and evening (EPA) and results were compared with a no-exercise-week (C). EPA was characterized by a lower amplitude (evening: 0.028 ± 0.01 °C versus control: 0.038 ± 0.016 °C; p < 0.05) less pronounced second-harmonic (power) (evening: 0.41 ± 0.47 versus morning: 1.04 ± 0.59); and achrophase delay (evening: 06:35 ± 02:14 h versus morning: 04:51 ± 01:11 h; p < 0.05) as compared to MPA and C. Performing PA in the late evening might not be as beneficial as in the morning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Geographically isolated wetlands (GIW), depressional landscape features entirely surrounded by upland areas, provide a wide range of ecological functions and ecosystem services for human well-being. Current and future ecosystem management and decision-making rely on a solid scientific understanding of how hydrologic processes affect these important GIW services and functions, and in turn on how GIWs affect downstream surface water systems. Consequently, quantifying the hydrologic connectivity of GIWs to other surface water systems (including streams, rivers, lakes, and other navigable waters) and the processes governing hydrologic connectivity of GIWs at a variety of watershed scales has become an important topic for the scientific and decision-making communities. We review examples of potential mechanistic modeling tools that could be applied to further advance scientific understanding concerning: (1) The extent to which hydrologic connections between GIWs and other surface waters exist, and (2) How these connections affect downstream hydrology at the scale of watersheds. Different modeling approaches involve a variety of domain and process conceptualizations, and numerical approximations for GIW-related questions. We describe select models that require only limited modifications to model the interaction of GIWs and other surface waters. We suggest that coupled surface–subsurface approaches exhibit the most promise for characterizing GIW connectivity under a variety of flow conditions, though we note their complexity and the high level of modeling expertise required to produce reasonable results. We also highlight empirical techniques that will inform mechanistic models that estimate hydrologic connectivity of GIWs for research, policy, and management purposes. Developments in the related disciplines of remote sensing, hillslope and wetland hydrology, empirical modeling, and tracer studies will assist in advancing current mechanistic modeling approaches to most accurately elucidate connectivity of GIWs to other surface waters and the effects of GIWs on downstream systems at the watershed scale.

AB  - Our objective was to assess the pasture productivity and forage characteristics of 2 fall-grown oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, specifically for extending the grazing season and reducing reliance on harvested forages by replacement dairy heifers. A total of 160 gravid Holstein heifers (80 heifers/yr) were stratified by weight, and assigned to 1 of 10 identical research pens (8 heifers/pen). Initial body weights were 480 ± 43.5 kg in 2011 and 509 ± 39.4 kg in 2012. During both years of the trial, four 1.0-ha pasture replicates were seeded in August with Ogle oat (Schumitsch Seed Inc., Antigo, WI), and 4 separate, but similarly configured, pasture replicates were seeded with Forage Plus oat (Kratz Farms, Slinger, WI). Heifer groups were maintained as units, assigned to specific pastures, and then allowed to graze fall-oat pastures for 6 h daily before returning to the barn, where they were offered a forage-based basal total mixed ration. Two heifer groups were retained in confinement (without grazing) as controls and offered the identical total mixed ration as pasture groups. During 2011, available forage mass increased with strong linear and quadratic effects for both cultivars, peaking at almost 9 Mg/ha on October 31. In contrast, forage mass was not affected by evaluation date in 2012, remaining ≤2,639 kg/ha across all dates because of droughty climatic conditions. During 2012, Ogle exhibited greater forage mass than Forage Plus across all sampling dates (2,678 vs. 1,856 kg/ha), largely because of its more rapid maturation rate and greater canopy height. Estimates of energy density for oat forage ranged from 59.6 to 69.1% during 2011, and ranged narrowly from 68.4 to 70.4% during 2012. For 2011, responses for both cultivars had strong quadratic character, in which the most energy-dense forages occurred in mid November, largely due to accumulation of water-soluble carbohydrates that reached maximum concentrations of 18.2 and 15.1% for Forage Plus and Ogle, respectively. Across the 2-yr trial, average daily gain for grazing heifer groups tended to be greater than heifers remaining in confinement (0.85 vs. 0.74 kg/d), but both management strategies produced weight gains within reasonable proximity to normal targets for heifers in this weight range. Fall-grown oat should be managed as stockpiled forage for deferred grazing, and good utilization of fall-oat forage can be accomplished by a one-time removal of standing forage, facilitated by a single lead wire advanced daily to prevent waste.

AB  - Subclinical hypocalcemia may affect half of all multiparous cows, and clinical hypocalcemia or milk fever affects approximately 5% of dairy cows each year. This disorder of calcium homeostasis can be induced by several dietary factors. Recent studies implicate high dietary potassium and high dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) with increased risk of milk fever. The hypothesis tested in this study was that high-DCAD diets fed to prepartum cows reduce tissue sensitivity to parathyroid hormone (PTH), inducing a pseudohypoparathyroid state that diminishes calcium homeostatic responses. Multiparous Jersey cows were fed low- or high-DCAD diets in late gestation, creating a compensated metabolic alkalosis in the high-DCAD cows and a compensated metabolic acidosis in the low-DCAD cows. They then received synthetic PTH injections at 3-h intervals for 48 h. Parathyroid hormone is expected to cause an increase in plasma calcium by increasing renal production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and increasing bone calcium resorption. Plasma calcium concentration increased at a significantly lower rate in cows fed the high-DCAD diet. Cows fed the high-DCAD diet also produced significantly less 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in response to the PTH injections than cows fed the low-DCAD diet. Serum concentrations of the bone resorption marker carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen were numerically lower in cows fed the highDCAD diet but this difference was not statistically significant. These data provide direct evidence that high-DCAD diets reduce tissue sensitivity to PTH. The metabolic alkalosis associated with high-DCAD diets likely induces a state of pseudohypoparathyroidism in some dairy cows at the onset of lactation, resulting in hypocalcemia and milk fever.

AB  - Radiological chronometry is an important tool in nuclear forensics that uses several methods to determine the length of time that has elapsed since a material was last purified. One of the chronometers used in determining the age of metallic uranium involves measuring the fractional ingrowth of Th from its parent U with the assumption that the uranium metal contained no impurities, especially thorium, when it was purified. The affects of different etching procedures were evaluated for the removal of surface oxidation with three different types of uranium metal samples to determine whether the etching procedure affects the radiological age. The sample treated with a rigorous etching procedure had exhibited the most reliable radiological age while less rigorous etching yields a radiological age from 15 years to hundreds of years older than the known age. Any excess thorium on the surface of a uranium metal sample presents a bias in age determination and the sample will appear older than the true age. Although this research demonstrates the need for rigorous surface etching, a bias in the radiological age could have arisen if the uranium in the metal was heterogeneously distributed.

AB  - Abstract: Lignin, a highly aromatic biopolymer extracted as a coproduct of wood pulping, was investigated as a suitable precursor for carbon fibers. Lignin was chemically modified and blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) biopolymer before melt spinning into lignin fibers. The chemical modification of raw lignin involved butyration to form ester functional groups in place of polar hydroxyl (–OH) groups, which enhanced the miscibility of lignin with PLA. Fine fibers were extracted and spooled continuously from lignin/PLA blends with an overall lignin concentration of 75wt.%. The influence of chemical modification and physical blending of lignin with PLA on the resulting fiber was studied by analyzing the microstructure of the fibers using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of blend composition on the phase behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of composition on the mechanical properties was studied by tensile tests of the lignin/PLA blend fibers. The thermal stability and carbon yield of the blended fibers with different concentrations of lignin were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The microstructure analysis of carbon fibers produced from lignin/PLA blends revealed composition dependent microporous structures inside the fine fibers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Mechanisms whereby metal cations are toxic to plant roots remain largely unknown. Aluminum, for example, has been recognized as rhizotoxic for approximately 100 yr, but there is no consensus on its mode of action. The authors contend that the primary mechanism of rhizotoxicity of many metal cations is nonspecific and that the magnitude of toxic effects is positively related to the strength with which they bind to hard ligands, especially carboxylate ligands of the cell-wall pectic matrix. Specifically, the authors propose that metal cations have a common toxic mechanism through inhibiting the controlled relaxation of the cell wall as required for elongation. Metal cations such as Al3+ and Hg2+, which bind strongly to hard ligands, are toxic at relatively low concentrations because they bind strongly to the walls of cells in the rhizodermis and outer cortex of the root elongation zone with little movement into the inner tissues. In contrast, metal cations such as Ca2+, Na+, Mn2+, and Zn2+, which bind weakly to hard ligands, bind only weakly to the cell wall and move farther into the root cylinder. Only at high concentrations is their weak binding sufficient to inhibit the relaxation of the cell wall. Finally, different mechanisms would explain why certain metal cations (for example, Tl+, Ag+, Cs+, and Cu2+) are sometimes more toxic than expected through binding to hard ligands. The data presented in the present study demonstrate the importance of strength of binding to hard ligands in influencing a range of important physiological processes within roots through nonspecific mechanisms.

AB  - Meat and bone meal (MBM), an important by-product of the meat industry, is the ground, rendered remainder of farm animals after removal of the hide and meat. Most protein in MBM is insoluble, which limits its usefulness. Defatted, milled porcine MBM was subjected to saturating amounts of trypsin, a selective protease, and subtilisin, a protease with broad selectivity. Samples were withdrawn over a 48-h time course of hydrolysis and filtered to remove insoluble material. The rate at which the MBM protein was converted to a soluble form was equivalent for both proteases. Over the time course, trypsin generated fewer free amino groups than did subtilisin, and at a specified time, the molecular weight (MW) of the soluble trypsin hydrolysate was higher than that of the subtilisin hydrolysate. Assay of amino group formation showed that the proteases were still active even after soluble protein generation had ceased. The hydrolysates are useful for a variety of food and non-food uses. The hydrolysates were tested for flocculation activity in an ongoing effort to find sources for renewable flocculant. Kaolin flocculant activity was observed with the soluble fraction obtained before hydrolysis of MBM and also observed with the relatively high MW hydrolysates from short treatment with trypsin and subtilisin. Low MW fractions obtained from by subtilisin treatment at 30-48 h also showed kaolin-settling ability, probably through a coagulation or charge neutralisation process. Meat and bone meal (MBM), an important by-product of the meat industry, is the ground, rendered remainder of farm animals after removal of the hide and meat but most is insoluble, which limits its usefulness. Defatted, milled porcine MBM was subjected to saturating amounts of trypsin, a selective protease, and subtilisin, a protease with broad selectivity. The hydrolysates are useful for a variety of food and non-food uses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Influence of biochar amendments on the sorption–desorption of aminocyclopyrachlor, bentazone and pyraclostrobin pesticides to an agricultural soil.

AB  - Abstract: The many advantageous properties of biochar have led to the recent interest in the use of this carbonaceous material as a soil amendment. However, there are limited studies dealing with the effect of biochar on the behavior of pesticides applied to crops. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of various biochars on the sorption–desorption of the herbicides aminocyclopyrachlor (6-amino-5-chloro-2-cyclopropyl-4-pyrimidinacarboxylic acid) and bentazone (3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide) and the fungicide pyraclostrobin (methyl 2-[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yloxymethil]-N-methoxycarbanilate) to a silt loam soil. Aminocyclopyrachlor and bentazone were almost completely sorbed by the soils amended with the biochars produced from wood pellets. However, lower sorption of the herbicides was observed in the soils amended with the biochar made from macadamia nut shells as compared to the unamended soil, which was attributed to the competition between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the biochar and the herbicides for sorption sites. Our results showed that pyraclostrobin is highly sorbed to soil, and the addition of biochars to soil did not further increase its sorption. Thus, addition of biochars to increase the retention of low mobility pesticides in soil appears to not be necessary. On the other hand, biochars with high surface areas and low DOC contents can increase the sorption of highly mobile pesticides in soil. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the maintenance of white adipose tissue (WAT) architecture and function, and proper ECM remodeling is critical to support WAT malleability to accomodate changes in energy storage needs. Obesity and adipocyte hypertrophy place a strain on the ECM remodeling machinery, which may promote disordered ECM and altered tissue integrity and could promote proinflammatory and cell stress signals. To explore these questions, new methods were developed to quantify omental and subcutaneous WAT tensile strength and WAT collagen content by three-dimensional confocal imaging, using collagen VI knockout mice as a methods validation tool. These methods, combined with comprehensive measurement of WAT ECM proteolytic enzymes, transcript, and blood analyte analyses, were used to identify unique pathophenotypes of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese women, using multivariate statistical modeling and univariate comparisons with weightmatched healthy obese individuals. In addition to the expected differences in inflammation and glycemic control, approximately 20 ECMrelated factors, including omental tensile strength, collagen, and enzyme transcripts, helped discriminate metabolically compromised obesity. This is consistent with the hypothesis that WAT ECM physiology is intimately linked to metabolic health in obese humans, and the studies provide new tools to explore this relationship.

AB  - Elementary particles such as electrons or photons are frequent subjects of wave-nature-driven investigations, unlike collective excitations such as phonons. The demonstration of wave-particle crossover, in terms of macroscopic properties, is crucial to the understanding and application of the wave behaviour of matter. We present an unambiguous demonstration of the theoretically predicted crossover from diffuse (particle-like) to specular (wave-like) phonon scattering in epitaxial oxide superlattices, manifested by a minimum in lattice thermal conductivity as a function of interface density. We do so by synthesizing superlattices of electrically insulating perovskite oxides and systematically varying the interface density, with unit-cell precision, using two different epitaxial-growth techniques. These observations open up opportunities for studies on the wave nature of phonons, particularly phonon interference effects, using oxide superlattices as model systems, with extensive applications in thermoelectrics and thermal management.

AB  - Solving the crystal structures of novel phases with nanoscale dimensions resulting from rapid quenching is difficult due to disorder and competing polymorphic phases. Advances in computer speed and algorithm sophistication have now made it feasible to predict the crystal structure of an unknown phase without any assumptions on the Bravais lattice type, atom basis, or unit cell dimensions, providing a novel approach to aid experiments in exploring complex materials with nanoscale grains. This approach is demonstrated by solving a long-standing puzzle in the complex crystal structures of the orthorhombic, rhombohedral, and hexagonal polymorphs close to the Zr2Co11 intermetallic compound. From our calculations, we identified the hard magnetic phase and the origin of high coercivity in this compound, thus guiding further development of these materials for use as high performance permanent magnets without rare-earth elements.

AB  - Agriculture is being challenged to provide food, and increasingly fuel, for an expanding global population. Producing bioenergy crops on marginal lands—farmland suboptimal for food crops—could help meet energy goals while minimizing competition with food production. However, the ecological costs and benefits of growing bioenergy feedstocks—primarily annual grain crops—on marginal lands have been questioned. Here we show that perennial bioenergy crops provide an alternative to annual grains that increases biodiversity of multiple taxa and sustain a variety of ecosystem functions, promoting the creation of multifunctional agricultural landscapes. We found that switchgrass and prairie plantings harbored significantly greater plant, methanotrophic bacteria, arthropod, and bird diversity than maize. Although biomass production was greater in maize, all other ecosystem services, including methane consumption, pest suppression, pollination, and conservation of grassland birds, were higher in perennial grasslands. Moreover, we found that the linkage between biodiversity and ecosystem services is dependent not only on the choice of bioenergy crop but also on its location relative to other habitats, with local landscape context as important as crop choice in determining provision of some services. Our study suggests that bioenergy policy that supports coordinated land use can diversify agricultural landscapes and sustain multiple critical ecosystem services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary: Plasmodium parasites are known to manipulate the behavior of their vectors so as to enhance transmission [1–4]. From an evolutionary standpoint, behavior manipulation by the parasite should expose the vector to limited risk of early mortality while ensuring sufficient energy supply for both it and the vector [5, 6]. However, it is unknown whether this vector manipulation also affects vector-plant interaction and sugar uptake. Here, we show that the attraction of Anopheles gambiae s.s. to plant odors increased by 30% and 24% after infection with the oocyst and sporozoite stages of Plasmodium falciparum, respectively, while probing activity increased by 77% and 80%, respectively, when the vectors were infected with the two stages of the parasite. Our data also reveal an increased sugar uptake at the oocyst stage that decreased at the sporozoite stage of infection compared to uninfected An. gambiae, with depletion of lipid reserves at the sporozoite stage. These results point to a possible physiological adjustment by An. gambiae to P. falciparum infection or behavior manipulation of An. gambiae by P. falciparum to enhance transmission. We conclude that the nectar-seeking behavior of P. falciparum-infected An. gambiae appears to be modified in a manner governed by the vector’s fight for survival and the parasite’s need to advance its transmission.

AB  - The low sensitivity of Mobile Health (mHealth) optical detectors, such as those found on mobile phones, is a limiting factor for many mHealth clinical applications. To improve sensitivity, we have combined two approaches for optical signal amplification: (1) a computational approach based on an image stacking algorithm to decrease the image noise and enhance weak signals, and (2) an optical signal amplifier utilizing a capillary tube array. These approaches were used in a detection system which includes multi-wavelength LEDs capable of exciting many fluorophores in multiple wavelengths, a mobile phone or a webcam as a detector, and capillary tube array configured with 36 capillary tubes for signal enhancement. The capillary array enables a ∼100× increase in signal sensitivity for fluorescein, reducing the limit of detection (LOD) for mobile phones and webcams from 1000nM to 10nM. Computational image stacking enables another ∼10× increase in signal sensitivity, further reducing the LOD for webcam from 10nM to 1nM. To demonstrate the feasibility of the device for the detection of disease-related biomarkers, adenovirus DNA labeled with SYBR green or fluorescein was analyzed by both our capillary array and a commercial plate reader. The LOD for the capillary array was 5ug/mL, and that of the plate reader was 1ug/mL. Similar results were obtained using DNA stained with fluorescein. The combination of the two signal amplification approaches enables a ∼1000× increase in LOD for the webcam platform. This brings it into the range of a conventional plate reader while using a smaller sample volume (10ul) than the plate reader requires (100ul). This suggests that such a device could be suitable for biosensing applications where up to 10 fold smaller sample sizes are needed. The simple optical configuration for mHealth described in this paper employing the combined capillary and image processing signal amplification is capable of measuring weak fluorescent signals without the need of dedicated laboratories. It has the potential to be used to increase sensitivity of other optically based mHealth technologies, and may increase mHealth's clinical utility, especially for telemedicine and for resource-poor settings and global health applications.

AB  - Abstract: In this paper, we study the effects of variable thermal conductivity on the flow and heat transfer in a slag-type non-linear fluid down a vertical wall. The constitutive relation for the heat flux vector is assumed to be the Fourier’s law of conduction with a variable thermal conductivity which includes the second order effects of the volume fraction. We numerically solve the non-dimensional form of the governing equations to study the effects of various dimensionless numbers on the velocity, temperature and volume fraction. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity plays a major role in the temperature distribution. Also, for certain values of the dimensionless numbers, minor differences are observed in the velocity and volume fraction distribution compared with the case of constant thermal conductivity.

AB  - Abstract: Pd, Pd90Ag10, Pd91Au9, Pd78Ag9Au13 and Pd75Ag16Au9 alloy membranes were prepared on vacuum-assisted ZrO2-modified porous stainless steel supports by sequential electroless deposition. The membranes were evaluated for permeability in pure H2 and in an H2S/H2 mixture. The membranes displayed a range of permeabilities in pure H2: Pd90Ag10>Pd78Ag9Au13>Pd~Pd75Ag16Au9>Pd91Au9. On exposure to 100ppm H2S/H2 at 673K for 24h, all membranes lost a significant fraction of their H2 permeabilities: Pd (lost the largest fraction, 85%)>Pd90Ag10>Pd75Ag16Au9>Pd78Ag9Au13>Pd91Au9 (60%). When H2S was removed, the membranes recovered the lost permeability to different extents. The Pd91Au9 and Pd78Ag9Au13 membranes displayed the highest fractional recovery of initial H2 permeability (~80%). But, with its higher initial pure H2 permeability, Pd78Ag9Au13 had the highest absolute H2 permeability after recovery. The microstructure, morphology and bulk composition of H2S-exposed samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). XRD revealed the presence of a bulk Pd4S phase on both Pd and Pd90Ag10, the membranes that recovered the least H2 relative flux after their exposure to H2S. In contrast, bulk sulfides did not form on Pd91Au9 or on PdAgAu ternary alloys. In agreement with the XRD results, EDS did not detect sulfur in the bulk of Pd91Au9 or in either of the ternary alloy samples. Our results show that the addition of Au to the high-permeability PdAg binary membrane results in a PdAgAu ternary membrane that minimizes the permanent H2 flux loss associated with H2S exposure by preventing the formation of thick stable sulfides.

AB  - Abstract: In this short paper we study the flow of a mixture of a fluid infused with particles in a channel. We use the classical mixture theory approach whereby constitutive relations are proposed for the stress tensor of each phase. For the interaction forces, the effect of different hindrance functions for the drag force is studied; moreover a generalized form of the expression for the coefficients of the interactions forces, also known as the hindrance functions, is suggested. For studying this two-component system numerically, a three-dimensional CFD solver based on OpenFOAM® has been developed. Applying this solver, a specific problem (blood flow) has been studied for which our numerical results and experimental data show good agreement. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In the United States, new regulations on second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides will likely be offset by expanded use of first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. In the present study, eastern screech-owls ( Megascops asio) were fed 10 µg diphacinone/g wet weight food for 7 d, and recovery was monitored over a 21-d postexposure period. By day 3 of exposure, diphacinone (DPN) was detected in liver (1.63 µg/g wet wt) and kidney (5.83 µg/g) and coagulopathy was apparent. By day 7, prothrombin time (PT) and Russell's viper venom time (RVVT) were prolonged, and some individuals were anemic. Upon termination of exposure, coagulopathy and anemia were resolved within 4 d, and residues decreased to <0.3 µg/g by day 7. Liver and kidney DPN elimination occurred in 2 phases (initial rapid loss, followed by slower loss rate), with overall half-lives of 11.7 d and 2.1 d, respectively. Prolonged PT and RVVT occurred in 10% of the exposed owls with liver DPN concentrations of 0.122 µg/g and 0.282 µg/g and in 90% of the owls with liver concentrations of 0.638 µg/g and 0.361 µg/g. These liver residue levels associated with coagulopathy fall in the range of values reported in raptor mortality incidents involving DPN. These tissue-based toxicity reference values for coagulopathy in adult screech-owls have application for interpreting nontarget mortality and assessing the hazard of DPN in rodent-control operations. Diphacinone exposure evokes toxicity in raptors within a matter of days; but once exposure is terminated, recovery of hemostasis occurs rapidly. Environ Toxicol Chem 2014;33:74-81. © 2013 SETAC.

AB  - The relationship between biological diversity and ecological stability has fascinated ecologists for decades. Determining the generality of this relationship, and discovering the mechanisms that underlie it, are vitally important for ecosystem management. Here, we investigate how species richness affects the temporal stability of biomass production by reanalyzing 27 recent biodiversity experiments conducted with primary producers. We find that, in grasslands, increasing species richness stabilizes whole-community biomass but destabilizes the dynamics of constituent populations. Community biomass is stabilized because species richness impacts mean biomass more strongly than its variance. In algal communities, species richness has a minimal effect on community stability because richness affects the mean and variance of biomass nearly equally. Using a new measure of synchrony among species, we find that for both grasslands and algae, temporal correlations in species biomass are lower when species are grown together in polyculture than when grown alone in monoculture. These results suggest that interspecific interactions tend to stabilize community biomass in diverse communities. Contrary to prevailing theory, we found no evidence that species' responses to environmental variation in monoculture predicted the strength of diversity's stabilizing effect. Together, these results deepen our understanding of when and why increasing species richness stabilizes community biomass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones, is the presence of renal calculi caused by a disruption in the balance between salt solubility and precipitation in the kidneys, usually because of dehydration or certain genetic predispositions. The lifetime prevalence of kidney stones in the United States is 12% among men and 7% among women. There are many myths regarding the relationship between diet and risk of various types of kidney stones, which are addressed in this article. Conclusions are as follows: All individuals should avoid very high or very low total intakes of calcium. Stone formers should optimize fluid intake to increase urine volume and decrease stone risk. All individuals should aim for the dietary reference intake (DRI) for vitamin C, and those prone to oxalate stones should avoid excessive dietary supplementation. Eating amounts of protein near the DRI does not increase risk of stone recurrence, even if protein is from animal sources. Consumption of fruits and vegetables (at least 5 servings/day) may decrease risk for kidney stones. Follow the dietary recommendations that accompany kidney stone medications to maximize their efficacy. Strive for the DRIs for magnesium and potassium because they appear to be protective against kidney stones. Hyperuricosuric patients can reduce their uric acid excretion and increase their urinary pH by reducing purine intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Physiological and developmental traits that vary over time are difficult to phenotype under relevant growing conditions. In this light, we developed a novel system for phenotyping dynamic traits in the field. System performance was evaluated on 25 Pima cotton (Goβypium barbadense L.) cultivars grown in 2011 at Maricopa, Arizona. Field-grown plants were irrigated under well watered and water-limited conditions, with measurements takenat different timeson 3daysinJuly and August.The system carried four sets of sensors to measure canopy height, reflectance and temperature simultaneously on four adjacent rows, enabling the collection of phenotypic data at a rate of 0.84ha h-1. Measurements of canopy height, normalised difference vegetation index and temperature all showed large differences among cultivars and expected interactions of cultivars with water regime and time of day. Broad-sense heritabilities (H2)were highest for canopy height (H2 = 0.86-0.96), followed by the more environmentally sensitive normalised difference vegetation index (H2 = 0.28-0.90) and temperature (H2 = 0.01-0.90) traits. We also found a strong agreement (r2 = 0.35-0.82) between values obtained by the system, and values from ærial imagery and manual phenotyping approaches. Taken together, these results confirmed the ability of the phenotyping system to measure multiple traits rapidly and accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Accurately estimating consumptive water use in the Colorado River Basin (CRB) is important for assessing and managing limited water resources in the basin. Increasing water demand from various sectors may threaten long-term sustainability of the water supply in the arid southwestern United States. We have developed a first-ever basin-wide actual evapotranspiration (ETa) map of the CRB at the Landsat scale for water use assessment at the field level. We used the operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model for estimating ETa using 328 cloud-free Landsat images acquired during 2010. Our results show that cropland had the highest ETa among all land cover classes except for water. Validation using eddy covariance measured ETa showed that the SSEBop model nicely captured the variability in annual ETa with an overall R2 of 0.78 and a mean bias error of about 10%. Comparison with water balance-based ETa showed good agreement (R2 = 0.85) at the sub-basin level. Though there was good correlation (R2 = 0.79) between Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-based ETa (1 km spatial resolution) and Landsat-based ETa (30 m spatial resolution), the spatial distribution of MODIS-based ETa was not suitable for water use assessment at the field level. In contrast, Landsat-based ETa has good potential to be used at the field level for water management. With further validation using multiple years and sites, our methodology can be applied for regular production of ETa maps of larger areas such as the conterminous United States.

AB  - Maintenance of organ separation is one of the essential phenomena for normal plant development. We have identified and analyzed ONION3 (ONI3), which is required for avoiding organ fusions in rice. Loss-of-function mutations of ONI3, which were identified as mutants with ectopic expression of KNOX genes in leaves and morphologically resembling KNOX overexpressors, showed abnormal organ fusions in developing shoots. The mutant seedlings showed fusions between neighboring organs and also within an organ; they stopped growing soon after germination and subsequently died. ONI3 was shown to encode an enzyme that is most similar to Arabidopsis HOTHEAD and is involved in biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. Expression analyses showed that ONI3 was specifically expressed in the outermost cell layer in the shoot apex throughout life cycle, and the oni3 mutants had an aberrant outermost cell layer. Our results together with previous studies suggest that long-chain fatty acids are required for avoiding organ fusions and promoting normal shoot development in rice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In some planet formation theories, protoplanets grow gravitationally within a young star’s protoplanetary disk, a signature of which may be a localized disturbance in the disk’s radial and/or vertical structure. Using time-series photometric observations by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope South project and the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae, combined with archival observations, we present the discovery of two extended dimming events of the young star, DM Ori. This young system faded by ∼1.5 mag from 2000 March to 2002 August and then again in 2013 January until 2014 September (depth ∼1.7 mag). We constrain the duration of the 2000–2002 dimming to be < 860 days, and the event in 2013–2014 to be < 585 days, separated by ∼12.5 years. A model of the spectral energy distribution indicates a large infrared excess consistent with an extensive circumstellar disk. Using basic kinematic arguments, we propose that DM Ori is likely being periodically occulted by a feature (possibly a warp or perturbation) in its circumstellar disk. In this scenario, the occulting feature is located >6 au from the host star, moving at ∼14.6 km s−1 and is ∼4.9 au in width. This localized structure may indicate a disturbance such as that which may be caused by a protoplanet early in its formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Studies were conducted to compare preference among Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, biotype B instars for parasitization by Eretmocerus mundus Mercet and Encarsia pergandiella Howard when provided one instar only, two different instars, and four different instars simultaneously. In the single-instar no choice treatment, Er. mundus was more successful in parasitizing the younger host instars, while En. pergandiella parasitized a greater proportion of the older instars. Similar results were observed when parasitoids were provided a choice of two instars in six different pair combinations. When all four instars were provided simultaneously, the numbers of first, second, and third instars parasitized by Er. mundus were not significantly different from each other (range 10.3–16.4%), but all were significantly higher than parasitism of fourth instar nymphs (2.1%). The highest percentage parasitization by En. pergandiella was in third instar (17.2%), and the lowest in first instar (2.8%). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In species management and conservation, surrogate species or groups of species can be used as proxies for broader sets of species when the number of species of concern is too great to allow each to be considered individually. However, these surrogate approaches are not applicable to all situations. In this article we discuss how the nature of the ecological system, the objectives arid scale of management, and the level of available knowledge influence the decision about using a surrogate approach. We use species-area relations to define a "surrogate zone" in which the approach may be most effective. Using the Interior Columbia Basin of the northwestern United States as an example, we outline 10 steps that may enhance the effectiveness of surrogate approaches. Using a surrogate approach necessarily entails a trade-off between management tailored to individual species and less precise practices that may apply to a broader array of species. Ultimately, the use of a surrogate approach depends on the level of uncertainty that is acceptable in conducting management or conservation activities--in other words, "How good is good enough?"

AB  - Stripe rust [caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. ( Pst)] is a destructive disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Genetic resistance is the preferred method for control and the Yr5 gene, originally identified in Triticum spelta var. album, represents a major resistance ( R) gene that confers all-stage resistance to all currently known races of Pst in the United States. To identify transcripts associated with the Yr5-mediated incompatible interaction and the yr5-compatible interaction, the Wheat GeneChip was used to profile the changes occurring in wheat isolines that differed for the presence of the Yr5 gene after inoculation with Pst. This time-course study (6, 12, 24 and 48 h post-inoculation) identified 115 transcripts that were induced during the R-gene-mediated incompatible interaction, and 73 induced during the compatible interaction. Fifty-four transcripts were induced in both interactions and were considered as basal defence transcripts, whilst 61 transcripts were specific to the incompatible interaction [hypersensitive response (HR)-specific transcripts] and 19 were specific to the compatible interaction (biotrophic interaction-specific transcripts). The temporal pattern of transcript accumulation showed a peak at 24 h after infection that may reflect haustorial penetration by Pst at ~16 h. An additional 12 constitutive transcript differences were attributed to the presence of Yr5 after eliminating those considered as incomplete isogenicity. Annotation of the induced transcripts revealed that the presence of Yr5 resulted in a rapid and amplified resistance response involving signalling pathways and defence-related transcripts known to occur during R-gene-mediated responses, including protein kinase signalling and the production of reactive oxygen species leading to a hypersensitive response. Basal defence also involved substantial induction of many defence-related transcripts but the lack of R-gene signalling resulted in weaker response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The influence of ash bridging on the temperature distribution of the ceramic filters of a demonstration-scale filter vessel is analyzed. The Reynolds stress turbulence model of FLUENT™ code is used to study the gas flow behavior inside the filter vessel. Particle equations of motions are employed, and transport and deposition of the micron-size aerosols are studied. Computational results predict that ash bridging leads to a non-uniform temperature distribution along the ceramic candle filters in the bridging region. The analyses of ash bridging deposition on the internal surfaces of the filter show that the absence of ash bridging tends to promote the deposition of particles of 10 μm on the surfaces.

AB  - Fungi metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a number of detoxification processes, including the formation of sulfated and glycosidated conjugates. A class of aromatic compounds in grapefruit is the furanocoumarins (FCs), and their metabolism in humans is centrally involved in the “grapefruit/drug interactions.” Thus far, the metabolism by fungi of the major FCs in grapefruit, including 6′, 7′-epoxybergamottin (EB), 6′, 7′-dihydroxybergamottin (DHB), and bergamottin (BM), has received little attention. In this study, Aspergillus niger was observed to convert EB into DHB and a novel water-soluble metabolite (WSM). Bergaptol (BT) and BM were also metabolized by A. niger to the WSM, which was identified as BT-5-sulfate using mass spectrometry, UV spectroscopy, chemical hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Similarly, the fungus had a capability of metabolizing xanthotoxol (XT), a structural isomer of BT, to a sulfated analog of BT-5-sulfate, presumably XT-8-sulfate. A possible enzyme-catalyzed pathway for the grapefruit FC metabolism involving the cleavage of the geranyl group and the addition of a sulfate group is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A survey of fresh commercial Queso Chihuahua made from raw or pasteurized cow's milk was undertaken to determine the impact of cheesemaking parameters on composition, protein breakdown and microbial counts. Despite variations in the manufacturing procedure, the composition and casein breakdown of the cheeses fell within a comparatively tight range. Pathogens were not detected in any of the cheeses, but total aerobic plate counts exceeded the recommended limit for this variety. Differences in Mexican Queso Chihuahua manufacturing procedures did not substantially alter the final product, the quality of which could be improved by reduction of bacteria present.

AB  - The emerging discipline of urban ecology is shifting focus from ecological processes embedded within cities to integrative studies of large urban areas as biophysical-social complexes. Yet this discipline lacks a theory. Results from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network, expose new assumptions and test existing assumptions about urban ecosystems. The findings suggest a broader range of structural and functional relationships than is often assumed for urban ecological systems. We address the relationships between social status and awareness of environmental problems, and between race and environmental hazard. We present patterns of species diversity, riparian function, and stream nitrate loading. In addition, we probe the suitability of land-use models, the diversity of soils, and the potential for urban carbon sequestration. Finally, we illustrate lags between social patterns and vegetation, the biogeochemistry of lawns, ecosystem nutrient retention, and social-biophysical feedbacks. These results suggest a framework for a theory of urban ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A diverse array of fire-adapted plant communities once covered the eastern United States. European settlement greatly altered fire regimes, often increasing fire occurrence (e.g., in northern hardwoods) or substantially decreasing it (e.g., in tallgrass prairies). Notwithstanding these changes, fire suppression policies, beginning around the 1920s, greatly reduced fire throughout the East, with profound ecological consequences. Fire-maintained open lands converted to closed-canopy forests. As a result of shading, shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive plants began to replace heliophytic (sun-loving), fire-tolerant plants. A positive feedback cycle--which we term "mesophication"--ensued, whereby microenvironmental conditions (cool, damp, and shaded conditions; less flammable fuel beds) continually improve for shads-tolerant mesophytic species and deteriorate for shade-intolerant, fire-adapted species. Plant communities are undergoing rapid compositional and structural changes, some with no ecological antecedent. Stand-level species richness is declining, and will decline further, as numerous fire-adapted plants are replaced by a limited set of shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive species. As this process continues, the effort and cost required to restore fire-adapted ecosystems escalate rapidly [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biological control may provide an affordable and sustainable option for reducing losses to pest Bruchidae in stored food legumes, a crucial source of human dietary protein. Previous investigations have focused primarily on the role of parasitism in bruchid biological control, while the potential of generalist predators has been comparatively unexplored. The true bug Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) exhibited a Type II functional response to the majority of cosmopolitan bruchid species evaluated when data were fit to Holling's disc equation. A negative correlation was detected between mean pest species body weight and rate of predation. The rate of attack on adult prey was quite low but fairly consistent, with the larger-sized female predators generally more effective. The eggs and neonate larvae of Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) were the only accessible immature stages among all prey species examined; predation on A. obtectus eggs and larvae was higher than on any adult bruchids. Mean predator kill of A. obtectus immature stages was 40 first instars or 10–20 eggs per 24-h interval. Further investigation of the biological control potential of X. flavipes against pest Bruchidae is merited due to the predator's ability to kill adult stages of all prey species evaluated.

AB  - Selection pressure on bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), by cotton, Gossypium hirsutum (L.) (Malvaceae), that produces one or more Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) proteins is reduced by plantings of non-Bt refuge cotton that produce non-selected individuals. However, the contributions of non-Bt, non-cotton crop hosts to the overall effective refuge for H. zea on Bt cotton have not been estimated. A 2-year, season-long study was conducted in five US cotton-producing states to assess the spatial and temporal population dynamics and host use of H. zea. Helicoverpa zea larval estimates in commercial crop fields demonstrated that non-cotton crop hosts, such as maize, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), grain sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poaceae), peanut, Arachis hypogaea L. (Fabaceae), and soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Fabaceae), collectively support much larger larval populations than cotton throughout the season. Larval populations were almost entirely restricted to maize in the middle part of the season (June and portions of July), and were observed in non-cotton crop hosts more frequently and typically in larger numbers than in cotton during the period when production would be expected in cotton (July and August). Numbers of H. zea larvae produced in replicated strip trials containing various crop hosts paralleled production estimates from commercial fields. In contrast, the number of H. zea adults captured in pheromone traps at interfaces of fields of Bt cotton and various crop hosts rarely varied among interfaces, except in instances where maize was highly attractive. With the exception of this early season influence of maize, moth numbers were not related to local larval production. These data demonstrate that H. zea adults move extensively from their natal host origins. Therefore, non-cotton crop hosts, and even relatively distant hosts, contribute significantly to effective refuge for H. zea on Bt cotton. The results presented here demonstrate that substantial natural refuge is present for Bt-resistance management of H. zea throughout the mid-South and Southeast portions of the US cotton belt.

AB  - Aim:  To evaluate direct plating methods for the estimation of Salmonella load in poultry carcass rinses. Methods and Results:  Two direct plating tools, the spiral plate count method (SPCM) and the hydrophobic grid membrane filtration (HGMF) method, were adapted to support quantification of Salmonella during poultry processing. Test samples consisted of 180 broiler carcasses from a commercial abattoir, 60 from each of three points in the processing line [pre-inside–outside bird wash (pre-IOBW), prechill and postchill]. The SPCM was used to estimate Salmonella load in pre-IOBW rinses, while HGMF was used to estimate Salmonella levels in prechill and postchill rinses. Carcass rinses were also evaluated for Salmonella prevalence by enrichment methods. Mean prevalences of Salmonella were 95%, 100% and 41·7%, and the geometric mean loads were 3·7 × 101, 5·6 × 100 and 5·0 × 10−2 CFU ml−1 for pre-IOBW, prechill and postchill rinses, respectively. Conclusions:  The methods described are useful for estimating the concentration of viable and typical Salmonella in poultry carcass rinses. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Direct plating enumeration methods can facilitate the monitoring of Salmonella load on poultry carcasses throughout the production process, and the evaluation of new processing intervention strategies.

AB  - This study sought to evaluate the potential of trees planted around commercial poultry farms to trap ammonia (NH3), the gas of greatest environmental concern to the poultry industry. Four plant species (Norway spruce, Spike hybrid poplar, Streamco willow, and hybrid willow) were planted on eight commercial farms from 2003 to 2004. Because temperature (T) can be a stressor for trees, T was monitored in 2005 with data loggers among the trees in front of the exhaust fans (11.4 to 17.7 m) and at a control distance away from the fans (48 m) during all four seasons in Pennsylvania. Norway spruce (Picea abies) foliage samples were taken in August 2005 from one turkey and two layer farms for dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) analysis. The two layer farms had both Norway spruce and Spike hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra) plantings sampled as well allowing comparisons of species and the effect of plant location near the fans versus a control distance away. Proximity to the fans had a clear effect on spruce foliar N with greater concentrations downwind of the fans than at control distances (3.03 vs. 1.88%; P ≤ 0.0005). Plant location was again a significant factor for foliar N of both poplar and spruce on the two farms with both species showing greater N adjacent to the fans compared to the controls (3.75 vs. 2.32%; P ≤ 0.0001). Pooled foliar DM of both plants was also greater among those near the fans (56.17, fan vs. 44.67%, control; P ≤ 0.005). Species differences were also significant showing the potential of poplar to retain greater foliar N than spruce (3.52 vs. 2.55%; P ≤ 0.001) with less DM (46.00 vs. 54.83%; P ≤ 0.05) in a vegetative buffer setting. The results indicated plants were not stressed by the T near exhaust fans with mean seasonal T (13.04 vs. 13.03°C, respectively) not significantly different from controls. This suggested poultry house exhaust air among the trees near the fans would not result in dormancy stressors on the plants compared to controls away from the fans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1.  Effects of CO2 enrichment on leaf transpiration are well-documented, but our understanding of how CO2 interacts with other variables to regulate evapotranspiration from plant communities is more limited. 2.  A series of weighing lysimeters in which tallgrass prairie species had been planted were exposed to a subambient to elevated gradient in CO2 in a field chamber. Lysimeters with intact monoliths of three soil types were represented along the CO2 gradient. We used regression analysis to determine how CO2 effects on evapotranspiration per unit of soil surface area (ETsoil) and per unit of leaf area (ETla) depended on variation in leaf area index (LAI) and diurnal changes in environmental variables during the initial 6 weeks of CO2 treatment. 3.  CO2 enrichment reduced ETsoil and ETla, and together with air temperature and LAI accounted for most of the variance in daily values of evapotranspiration explained by multiple regression models. The CO2 effect on ETsoil did not depend on values of other variables, but CO2 enrichment reduced ETla most at relatively low air temperatures and low LAI for all soils combined. Higher temperatures countered the CO2 effect by increasing ETla more at elevated than subambient CO2. Higher LAI countered the CO2 effect by decreasing ETla more at subambient than elevated concentrations. Plant (LAI) and environmental effects on ETla differed among soils, possibly because plant growth patterns and physiology differed among soils. 4.  Our results imply that the CO2 effect on evapotranspiration per unit of leaf area will vary with seasonal change in temperature and LAI, independent of seasonal shifts in leaf age and physiological activity.

AB  - The complete sequence of the pha locus responsible for the biosynthesis of poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) in Pseudomonas corrugata 388 was determined. As with the other known pseudomonad pha gene loci, the one in P. corrugata 388 also consists of phaC1 (1,680 bps; PHA synthase 1), phaZ (858 bp; PHA depolymerase) and phaC2 (1,683 bp; PHA synthase 2) genes. A BLAST search showed that the nucleotide sequences of these genes and the amino-acid sequences of their respective gene products are homologous to those of P. corrugata CFBP5454 and P. mediterranea CFBP5447. A putative intrinsic transcription terminator consisting of a dyad symmetry (24 bp; Δ G = −41.8 kcals) that precedes a stretch of dA residues was located in the phaC1– phaZ intergenic region. P. corrugata mutant-clones XI 32-1 and XI 32-4 were constructed in which this intergenic region was replaced with a selectable kanamycin-resistance gene. These mutant clones when grown on oleic acid for 48 h showed 4.7–to 7.0-fold increases of phaC1 and phaC2 relative expression in comparison to the initial inoculants, whereas the parental strain showed only 1.2- to 1.4-fold increases. Furthermore, in comparison to parental P. corrugata with only a few large PHA inclusion bodies, the mutants grown on oleic acid produce numerous smaller PHA granules that line the periphery of the cells. With glucose as a substrate, XI 32-1 and XI 32-4 clones produce mcl-PHA with a high content (26–31 mol%) of the mono-unsaturated 3-hydroxydodecenoate as a repeat-unit monomer. Our results show for the first time the effects of the phaC1– phaZ intergenic region on the substrate-dependent temporal expression of phaC1 and phaC2 genes, the repeat-unit composition of mcl-PHA, and the morphology of the PHA granules.

AB  - Ulmus pumila is an elm species, non-native to the USA that hybridizes with Ulmus rubra. In order to study the genetic structure and hybridization patterns between these two elm species, we developed 15 primer pairs for microsatellite loci in U. rubra and tested their cross-amplification in U. pumila. All 15 primers amplified in both species, 11 of which possessed species-specific alleles. Eight loci were polymorphic in U. pumila and eight in U. rubra, each with two to eight alleles per locus. In addition, five primer pairs previously developed in U. laevis and U. carpinifolia (syn. U. minor) cross-amplified and showed polymorphic loci in U. pumila and/or U. rubra. These markers will facilitate the study of genetic structure and gene flow between U. rubra and exotic, invasive U. pumila. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Advanced oxidation/reduction processes (AORPs) are an alternative water treatment that is becoming more widely utilized. Our radiation-chemistry based studies are being used to develop a fundamental understanding of AOP treatment options, and are divided into three complementary types of contaminants; disinfection by-products (DBPs), emerging pollutants of concern (EPoCs), and natural organic matter (NOM). More than 600 DBPs have been identified, and one class that appears to have severe potential adverse health effects is the halonitromethanes (HNMs). Of the nine HNMs, trichloronitromethane (chloropicrin) is the most common, with levels up to 180 nM in US drinking waters. EPoCs are of interest because of their biological activity at low concentrations in water and while the initial focus was on endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) this class has now been expanded to include many other recalcitrant chemicals such as hormones, antibiotics, industrial contaminants, and health care products. Natural organic matter is one of the most common radical scavengers in natural waters and therefore may adversely affect AOPs. Our approach is to study NOM both directly and using model compounds thought to be representative of structural components of this complex material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The North is a frontier for exploration of emerging infectious diseases and the large-scale drivers influencing distribution, host associations, and evolution of pathogens among persons, domestic animals, and wildlife. Leading into the International Polar Year 2007-2008, we outline approaches, protocols, and empirical models derived from a decade of integrated research on northern host-parasite systems. Investigations of emerging infectious diseases associated with parasites in northern wildlife involved a network of multidisciplinary collaborators and incorporated geographic surveys, archival collections, historical foundations for diversity, and laboratory and field studies exploring the interface for hosts, parasites, and the environment. In this system, emergence of parasitic disease was linked to geographic expansion, host switching, resurgence due to climate change, and newly recognized parasite species. Such integrative approaches serve as cornerstones for detection, prediction, and potential mitigation of emerging infectious diseases in wildlife and persons in the North and elsewhere under a changing global climate.

AB  - Background: The global spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus has stimulated interest in a better understanding of the mechanisms of H5N1 dispersal, including the potential role of migratory birds as carriers. Although wild birds have been found dead during H5N1 outbreaks, evidence suggests that others have survived natural infections, and recent studies have shown several species of ducks capable of surviving experimental inoculations of H5N1 and shedding virus. To investigate the possibility of migratory birds as a means of H5N1 dispersal into North America, we monitored for the virus in a surveillance program based on the risk that wild birds may carry the virus from Asia. Results: Of 16,797 birds sampled in Alaska between May 2006 and March 2007, low pathogenic avian influenza viruses were detected in 1.7% by rRT-PCR but no highly pathogenic viruses were found. Our data suggest that prevalence varied among sampling locations, species (highest in waterfowl, lowest in passerines), ages (juveniles higher than adults), sexes (males higher than females), date (highest in autumn), and analytical technique (rRT-PCR prevalence = 1.7%; virus isolation prevalence = 1.5%). Conclusion: The prevalence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses isolated from wild birds depends on biological, temporal, and geographical factors, as well as testing methods. Future studies should control for, or sample across, these sources of variation to allow direct comparison of prevalence rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Microsatellite (simple sequence repeat -- SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are two types of important genetic markers useful in genetic mapping and genotyping. Often, large-scale genomic research projects require high-throughput computer-assisted primer design. Numerous such web-based or standard-alone programs for PCR primer design are available but vary in quality and functionality. In particular, most programs lack batch primer design capability. Such a high-throughput software tool for designing SSR flanking primers and SNP genotyping primers is increasingly demanded. Results: A new web primer design program, BatchPrimer3, is developed based on Primer3. BatchPrimer3 adopted the Primer3 core program as a major primer design engine to choose the best primer pairs. A new scorebased primer picking module is incorporated into BatchPrimer3 and used to pick position-restricted primers. BatchPrimer3 v1.0 implements several types of primer designs including generic primers, SSR primers together with SSR detection, and SNP genotyping primers (including single-base extension primers, allele-specific primers, and tetra-primers for tetra-primer ARMS PCR), as well as DNA sequencing primers. DNA sequences in FASTA format can be batch read into the program. The basic information of input sequences, as a reference of parameter setting of primer design, can be obtained by pre-analysis of sequences. The input sequences can be pre-processed and masked to exclude and/or include specific regions, or set targets for different primer design purposes as in Primer3Web and primer3Plus. A tab-delimited or Excel-formatted primer output also greatly facilitates the subsequent primer-ordering process. Thousands of primers, including wheat conserved intron-flanking primers, wheat genome-specific SNP genotyping primers, and Brachypodium SSR flanking primers in several genome projects have been designed using the program and validated in several laboratories. Conclusion: BatchPrimer3 is a comprehensive web primer design program to develop different types of primers in a high-throughput manner. Additional methods of primer design can be easily integrated into future versions of BatchPrimer3. The program with source code and thousands of PCR and sequencing primers designed for wheat and Brachypodium are accessible at http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/demos/BatchPrimer3/. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Tropospheric O3 reduces growth and yield of many crop species, whereas CO2 ameliorates the negative effects of O3. Thus, in a combined elevated CO2 and O3 atmosphere, seed yield is at least restored to that of charcoal-filtered (CF) air at ambient CO2. The CO2-induced yield increase in CF air is highly variable, suggesting other potential resource limitations. To understand such variability in response, we tested that (1) competition for resources precludes some of the CO2 enhancement on biomass and yield; and (2) O3 reduces competition in elevated CO2. We grew rice ( Oryza sativa L.) at five densities in CF and O3-fumigated (+O3) air at ambient (A) and elevated [CO2] (+CO2) in 1997 and 1998. O3 reduced biomass by 25% and seed yield by 13–20% in A, but had little effect in +CO2. A competition model of biomass and yield response to density based on resource availability without competition showed that fewer resources were used for biomass in +O3 than in CF (average 53% vs. 70%) in A, while in +CO2 85% of resources were used for biomass regardless of O3 suggesting greater depletion of resources. The enhanced biomass response to CO2 with O3 is consistent with a 22% greater CO2 enhancement ratio [mass in +CO2 air/mass in A air; enhancement ratio (ER)] in +O3 than in CF air. For seed yield, few resources were used (average 17% and 25% for CF in 1997 and 1998, respectively), and ER was 13% greater in +O3. With competition the rate of change of individual plant biomass to density was not affected by +CO2 in CF air in 1997 but was increased 19% with more nutrients in 1998, indicating resource limitations with +CO2. The rate of change of individual plant yield to density was reduced with CO2 in 1997 and unchanged in 1998 showing a different response to resource limitation for reproductive biomass. The resource use in +O3-A suggested that increased density and soil fertility might compensate for pollutant damage. Although ambient [O3] can modulate the response to elevated CO2, resource limitation precludes the CO2 fertilization impact and both factors need consideration for better management and forecasts of future productivity.

AB  - Background: Most emerging health threats are of zoonotic origin. For the overwhelming majority, their causative agents are RNA viruses which include but are not limited to HIV, Influenza, SARS, Ebola, Dengue, and Hantavirus. Of increasing importance therefore is a better understanding of global viral diversity to enable better surveillance and prediction of pandemic threats; this will require rapid and flexible methods for complete viral genome sequencing. Results: We have adapted the SISPA methodology [1-3] to genome sequencing of RNA and DNA viruses. We have demonstrated the utility of the method on various types and sources of viruses, obtaining near complete genome sequence of viruses ranging in size from 3,000-15,000 kb with a median depth of coverage of 14.33. We used this technique to generate full viral genome sequence in the presence of host contaminants, using viral preparations from cell culture supernatant, allantoic fluid and fecal matter. Conclusion: The method described is of great utility in generating whole genome assemblies for viruses with little or no available sequence information, viruses from greatly divergent families, previously uncharacterized viruses, or to more fully describe mixed viral infections.

Although similar cells and cytokines are evoked in response to infection by helminths as diverse as nematodes and schistosomes, the components of the response that mediate protection are dependent on the particular parasite. In this Review, we examine recent findings regarding the mechanisms of protection in helminth infections that have been elucidated in murine models and discuss the implications of these findings in terms of future therapies.

AB  - Aspergillus flavus is a fungus that principally obtains resources for growth in a saprophytic mode. Yet, it also possesses the characteristics of an opportunistic pathogen with a wide, non-specific host range (plants, animals, and insects). It has attained a high level of agricultural significance due to production of the carcinogen aflatoxin, which significantly reduces the value of contaminated crops. To access a large variety of nutrient substrates and penetrate host tissues, A. flavus possesses the capacity to produce numerous extracellular hydrolases. Most work on A. flavus hydrolases has focused on the serine and metalloproteinases, pectinase P2c, and amylase. Many hydrolases are presumed to function in polymer degradation and nutrient capture, but the regulation of hydrolase secretion is complex and substrate dependent. Proteinases are employed not only to help access protein substrates, such as elastin that is found in mammals and insects, but may also play roles in fungal defense and virulence. Secretion of the endopolygalacturonase P2c is strongly correlated with isolate virulence (against plants) and maceration of cotton boll tissues. In some hosts, secretion of α-amylase is critical for starch digestion and may play a critical role in induction of aflatoxin biosynthesis. Despite a significant body of work, much remains to be learned about hydrolase production and utilization by A. flavus. This information may be critical for the formulation of successful strategies to control aflatoxin contamination in affected commodities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The availability of complete genome sequence from 12 Drosophila species presents the opportunity to examine how natural selection has affected patterns of gene family evolution and sequence divergence among different components of the innate immune system. We have identified orthologs and paralogs of 245 Drosophila melanogaster immune-related genes in these recently sequenced genomes. Genes encoding effector proteins, and to a lesser extent genes encoding recognition proteins, are much more likely to vary in copy number across species than genes encoding signaling proteins. Furthermore, we can trace the apparent recent origination of several evolutionarily novel immune-related genes and gene families. Using codon-based likelihood methods, we show that immune-system genes, and especially those encoding recognition proteins, evolve under positive darwinian selection. Positively selected sites within recognition proteins cluster in domains involved in recognition of microorganisms, suggesting that molecular interactions between hosts and pathogens may drive adaptive evolution in the Drosophila immune system.

AB  - In forest plots treated aerially with a plastic laminated flake formulation (Disrupt® II) of the gypsy moth sex pheromone disparlure to disrupt gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), mating was monitored the year of treatment and 1–2 years after treatment to determine the effects of the treatment on suppression of trap catch and mating success. In the year of treatment, there was a greater than 95% reduction in trap catch and a greater than 98% reduction in mating success compared to controls. One year after treatment at a dosage of 37.5 g active ingredient (a.i.) ha−1, trap catch was reduced by 46–56% and mating success was reduced by 60–79%. Both trap catch and mating success were significantly reduced compared to controls in plots treated 1 year previously at 15 g a.i. ha−1. Trap catch, but not mating success, was significantly reduced 2 years after treatment at 37.5 g a.i. ha−1. The efficacy of mating disruption (MD) treatments in the Slow-the-Spread of the Gypsy Moth program was significantly reduced 2 years compared to 1 year after treatment. No such reduction was observed in plots treated with aerial applications of Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki. The higher apparent efficacy of MD treatments 1 year after application may result to some extent from the suppression of moth capture in pheromone traps from the persistent effects of the previous year's treatment.

AB  - The effects of cotton-corn rotation and glyphosate use on levels of soil-borne Aspergillus flavus, aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination in corn and cotton seed were determined during 2002-2005 in Stoneville, Mississippi (USA). There were four rotation systems (continuous cotton, continuous corn, cotton-corn and corn-cotton) for both glyphosate-resistant (GR) and non-GR cultivars-herbicide system arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Aspergillus flavus populations in surface (5-cm depth) soil, sampled before planting (March/April), mid-season (June) and after harvest (September), ranged from 1.47 to 2.99 log (10) cfu g-1 soil in the four rotation systems. Propagules of A. flavus were higher in the continuous corn system compared to the continuous cotton system on three sample dates, and cotton rotated with corn decreased A. flavus propagules in three of nine sample dates. Propagules of A. flavus were significantly greater in plots with GR cultivars compared to non-GR cultivars in three samples. In cotton seed, aflatoxin and fumonisin levels were similar (≤4 µg kg-1 and non-detectable, respectively) regardless of rotation and glyphosate. In corn grain, aflatoxin was above the regulatory level (≥20 µg kg-1) only in GR cultivar in 2004 and 2005. Fumonisin was higher in non-GR cultivar (4 mg kg-1) regardless of rotation in 2004; however, in 2002, 2003 and 2005, aflatoxin and fumonisin levels were similar regardless of rotation and glyphosate. These results indicate the potential for increased aflatoxin and fumonisin levels (1 of 4 years) in corn; however, climatic conditions encountered during this study did not allow for mycotoxin production. In laboratory incubation studies, fairly high concentrations of glyphosate were required to inhibit A. flavus growth; however no short-term effect of soil treatment with glyphosate on A. flavus populations were observed. These data suggest that altered populations of A. flavus or higher aflatoxin concentrations in corn grain were due to indirect effects of the GR cropping system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Escherichia coli O157:H7 variants were examined for trait mutations and by molecular subtyping to better define clonal complexes postulated on the O157:H7 evolution model. Strains of beta-glucuronidase-positive, sorbitol-negative O157:H7 isolated in United States and Japan were identical to A5 clonal strain and shared sequence type (ST)-65 by multilocus sequence typing (MLST); thus, they belong in A5. However, these strains exhibited pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profile differences that suggested genomic divergence between populations. Sorbitol-fermenting O157 (SFO157) strains from Finland, Scotland, and Germany were identical to A4 clonal strain and belong in A4. Some SFO157 strains, isolated years apart and from different countries, had identical PFGE profiles, suggesting a common origin. Despite similarities, some Finnish and Scottish and all of the German strains have ST-75 ("German clone"), whereas others have ST-76, a new variant ("Scottish clone"). MLST of strains in other clonal complexes also discriminated strains thought to be identical and showed that genetic differences will further distinguish clonal populations into subclones.

AB  - Aims:  The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of bacterial communities associated with bioaerosols generated during land application of biosolids using 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) PCR. Methods and Results:  Anaerobically digested Class B biosolids were land applied to an agricultural site located in South Central Arizona. Aerosol samples were collected downwind of the biosolids operations and were collected via the use of SKC Biosamplers and subsequently extracted for the presence of bacterial community DNA. All DNA was amplified using 16S rRNA primers, cloned and sequenced. All sequences were aligned and phylogenetic trees were developed to generate community profiles. The majority of aerosolized bacterial clone sequences belonged to the Actinobacteria and alpha- and beta- proteobacterial taxa. Aerosol samples collected downwind of soil aerosolization produced similar profiles. These profiles differed from upwind and background samples. Conclusions:  No one clone sequence isolated from the aerosol samples could be solely attributed to biosolids; on the contrary, the majority appeared to have arisen from soil. Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study demonstrates that in dry, arid climates the majority of aerosols associated with biosolids land application appear to be associated with the onsite soil.

AB  - Aspergillus section Flavi includes aflatoxin-producing and nonproducing fungi. Aspergillus sojae is unable to produce aflatoxins and is generally recognized as safe for food fermentation. However, because of its taxonomical relatedness to aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus, it is necessary to decipher the underlying mechanisms for its inability to produce aflatoxins. This review addresses the relationship between A. sojae and A. parasiticus and the advances that have been made in aflatoxin biosynthesis research, especially with regard to gene structure, genome organization, and gene regulation in A. parasiticus and A. flavus and how this has been used to assure the safety of A. sojae as an organism for food fermentation. The lack of aflatoxin-producing ability of A. sojae results primarily from an early termination point mutation in the pathway-specific aflR regulatory gene, which causes the truncation of the transcriptional activation domain of AflR and the abolishment of interaction between AflR and the AflJ co-activator. Both are required for gene expression. In addition, a defect in the polyketide synthase gene also contributes to its nonaflatoxigenicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background:  Schools are in a unique position to promote healthy dietary behaviors and help ensure appropriate nutrient intake. This article describes the characteristics of both school nutrition services and the foods and beverages sold outside of the school meals program in the United States, including state- and district-level policies and school practices. Methods:  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts the School Health Policies and Programs Study every 6 years. In 2006, computer-assisted telephone interviews or self-administered mail questionnaires were completed by state education agency personnel in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and among a nationally representative sample of school districts (n = 445). Computer-assisted personal interviews were conducted with personnel in a nationally representative sample of elementary, middle, and high schools (n = 944). Results:  Few states required schools to restrict the availability of deep-fried foods, to prohibit the sale of foods that have low nutrient density in certain venues, or to make healthful beverages available when beverages were offered. While many schools sold healthful foods and beverages outside of the school nutrition services program, many also sold items high in fat, sodium, and added sugars. Conclusions:  Nutrition services program practices in many schools continue to need improvement. Districts and schools should implement more food preparation practices that reduce the total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar content of school meals. In addition, opportunities to eat and drink at school should be used to encourage greater daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products.

AB  - Coarse wood provides important ecosystem structure and function such as water and nutrient storage and critical habitat for the conservation of a variety of organisms, including ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. The chemistry and EM communities were compared in coarse wood samples collected from two advanced decay stages of logs in 12 paired young and old-growth stands in the Oregon Cascade Range. Average total C and nonpolar extractives were higher in young stands (15–55 years) (mean = 53.38%, 95% CI of 52.48–54.27 and mean = 8.54%, 95% CI of 6.92–10.16, respectively) compared with old-growth stands (200–500 years) (mean = 51.22%, 95% CI of 49.67–52.77 and mean = 6.75%, 95% CI of 5.88–7.62, respectively). Averages for total and extractable P were higher in old-growth stands (mean = 0.03%, 95% CI of 0.02–0.04 and mean = 82.91, 95% CI of 52.24–113.57, respectively) compared with young stands (mean = 0.02%, 95% CI of 0.02–0.02 and mean = 56.17, 95% CI of 45.84–66.50, respectively). Average pH and total N were highest in logs in the most advanced decay stage (mean = 4.17, 95% CI of 3.97–4.38 and mean = 0.35%, 95% CI of 0.29–0.40, respectively). No differences between log decay class or stand age were detected for water-soluble extractives, hemicellulose plus cellulose (or acid-hydrolyzable fraction), or acid-unhydrolyzable residue. Observed differences in average wood property values between decay stages and between young and old-growth stands were small and, although statistically significant, may not reflect an important difference in EM fungal habitat. EM communities were similar between young and old-growth stands and between logs in decay classes 4 and 5. Results suggest that down wood in advanced decay stages provides similar habitat for EM fungi in both old-growth and young, managed stands. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les débris ligneux grossiers fournissent d’importantes structures et fonctions dans les écosystèmes telles que l’emmagasinage d’eau et de nutriments ainsi qu’un habitat crucial pour la conservation d’une variété d’organismes, incluant les champignons ectomycorhiziens (EM). Les caractéristiques chimiques et les communautés de champignons EM ont été comparées dans des échantillons de débris ligneux grossiers prélevés sur des billes à deux stades de décomposition avancée dans 12 paires de jeunes et de vieux peuplements situés dans la chaîne des Cascades en Oregon. Les quantités totales de C et de substances extractibles non polaires étaient en moyenne plus élevées dans les jeunes peuplements (15–55 ans) (moyenne 53,38 %, IC 95 % de 52,48 à 54,27 et moyenne 8,54 %, IC 95 % de 6,92 à 10,16, respectivement) que dans les vieux peuplements (200–500 ans) (moyenne 51,22 %, IC 95 % de 49,67 à 52,77 et moyenne 6,75 %, IC 95 % de 5,88 à 7,62, respectivement). Les moyennes pour les quantités de P total et extractible étaient plus élevées dans les vieux peuplements (moyenne 0,03 %, IC 95 % de 0,02 à 0,04 et moyenne 82,91, IC 95 % de 52,24 à 113,57, respectivement) comparativement aux jeunes peuplements (moyenne 0,02 %, IC 95 % de 0,02 à 0,02 et moyenne 56,17, IC 95 % de 45,84 à 66,50, respectivement). Le pH et la quantité totale de N étaient en moyenne les plus élevés dans les billes au stade de décomposition le plus avancé (moyenne 4,17, IC 95 % de 3,97 à 4,38 et moyenne 0,35 %, IC 95 % de 0,29 à 0,40, respectivement). Aucune différence entre les classes de décomposition des billes ou l’âge des peuplements n’a été détectée dans le cas des substances extractibles en solution aqueuse, des hémicelluloses et de la cellulose (ou fraction hydrolysable dans l’acide) ou des résidus non hydrolysables dans l’acide. Les différences observées dans la valeur moyenne des propriétés du bois entre les stades de décomposition et entre les jeunes et les vieux peuplements étaient faibles et, bien que statistiquement significatives, pourraient ne pas refléter une différence importante dans l’habitat des champignons EM. Les communautés de champignons EM étaient semblables dans les jeunes et les vieux peuplements ainsi que dans les billes dans les classes de décomposition 4 et 5. Les résultats indiquent que les débris ligneux à un stade de décomposition avancée fournissent des habitats similaires pour les champignons EM dans les peuplements aménagés, qu’ils soient vieux ou jeunes.

AB  - We conducted this study to assess the impact of the bait station used in the Carambola fruit fly eradication program on non-target insects indigenous to French Guiana. A sampling device was developed based on the bait station, using four treatments: fiberboard blocks impregnated with methyl eugenol (ME) and malathion (MA), ME only, MA only, and a non-impregnated block. A total of only 149 non-target insects were captured during the 52 weeks of the experiment. The non-target taxa captured included representatives of nine orders and 26 families. Analysis based on a Poisson model of captures indicated no difference in the taxa or number of specimens captured among the treatments, providing evidence that the bait stations used by the regional program had no greater impact on non-target insect populations than the non-impregnated blocks. Our results indicate that captures of non-target insects could be related to accidental exposure to the sampling device and as such can be considered random events. The results of this experiment support the hypothesis that bait stations made with ME and MA can be used in an area-wide program without risk to non-target insect populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Polyketides are a structurally diverse class of secondary metabolites produced by bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. The fungal genus Fusarium includes agronomically important plant pathogenic and mycotoxin-producing species and produces numerous polyketides. The study further characterized a polyketide synthase-encoding gene (PKS3 = PGL1) that was previously identified in F. graminearum and F. verticillioides. Disruption of the F. verticillioides PGL1 indicated that it is required for the production of the dark pigment in perithecial walls, as previously shown in F. graminearum. A third PGL1 orthologue was identified in the genomic sequence of N. haematococca (anamorph F. solani f. sp. pisi). Analysis of the carboxy-terminal end of the deduced PGL1 protein indicated that it had a functional domain related to dehydrogenases/reductases that is sometimes present in non-ribosomal peptide synthetases. Comparison of the genomic regions flanking PGL1 in F. graminearum, F. verticillioides and N. haematococca revealed that the extent of gene synteny in this region was greater between F. graminearum and F. verticillioides than between either of these species and N. haematococca. Southern blot analysis indicated that PGL1 occurs widely within the genus Fusarium including species with no known sexual stage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fungi belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi are of great economic importance in the United States due to their ability to produce toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins in agricultural commodities. Development of control strategies against A. flavus and A. parasiticus, the major aflatoxin-producing species, is dependent upon a basic understanding of their diversity in agricultural ecosystems. This review summarizes our current knowledge of species and population diversity in the United States in relation to morphology, mycotoxin production and genetic characters. The high genetic diversity in populations of aflatoxigenic fungi is a reflection of their versatile habits in nature, which include saprotrophic colonization of plant debris in soil and parasitism of seeds and grain. Genetic variation within populations may originate from a cryptic sexual state. The advent of intensive monoculture agriculture not only increases population size but also may introduce positive selective pressure for aflatoxin production due to its link with pathogenicity in crops. Important goals in population research are to determine how section Flavi diversity in agricultural ecosystems is changing and to measure the direction of this evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Understanding the source of Aspergillus flavus is required to manage aflatoxin contamination of maize (Zea mays L.). Studies assessed A. flavus propagules, Fusarium spp., and total fungi associated with Mississippi Delta soils. Soils from 12 and 15 sites were collected in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The propagule density of A. flavus ranged from log(10) 2.0 to 4.3 colony-forming units (cfu) g-1 soil, while total fusaria ranged from log(10) 3.0 to 5.4 cfu g-1 soil. The highest populations of A. flavus were associated with soils containing higher organic matter, especially in sites under a no-tillage management. The frequency of aflatoxin production in isolates ranged from 13 to 81% depending on soil. In 2001, there was a highly significant correlation between A. flavus and the history of maize cultivation. Soil fertility factors such as organic matter content, nitrate and extractable phosphorus correlated with the density of Aspergillus, Fusarium spp., and total fungi. The relationship between soil parameters and Aspergillus populations may be useful in predicting the contribution of soil microflora to aflatoxin contamination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fusarium proliferatum is a major cause of maize ear rot and fumonisin contamination and also can cause wheat kernel black point disease. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether nine F. proliferatum strains from wheat from Nepal can cause black point and fumonisin contamination in wheat kernels. For comparison, the study included three Fusarium strains from US maize. In test 1, all the strains but one produced significant symptoms of kernel black point; two strains decreased kernel yield; and four strains contaminated kernels with fumonisins B1, B2 and B3 as determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Strain Ggm202 from Nepal, which produced the highest levels of fumonisins (mean = 49 µg g-1) on five wheat cultivars in test 1, was confirmed to produce fumonisins (mean = 38 µg g-1) on two cultivars in test 2. The data indicate a potential for fumonisin contamination of wheat infected with F. proliferatum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Veterinary species offer unique opportunities for the study of immune responses during natural host / pathogen interactions. Experimental studies can be used to characterize the response to infection, vaccination, and influence of vaccination on the response to infection. The intent of this review is to demonstrate the use of cell tracking dyes to monitor and characterize in vitro proliferative responses by mononuclear cell subsets from veterinary species as a correlate to the in vivo response. Selected examples are provided to illustrate the usefulness of this approach to characterize various tissue dendritic cell populations, CD8αα+ T cells, γδ T cells, and CD172a+ cells. Comparative approaches provide unique and comprehensive insights into mononuclear cell biology that may be applicable to similarly described cell populations in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Activities of defence-related proteins ( β-1,3-glucanases, chitinases and peroxidases) and concentrations of total soluble phenolics were measured in roots and leaves of non-infected and infected plants to investigate the response of different citrus rootstock genotypes to the root rot pathogen Phytophthora palmivora Butler. Infection with the pathogen increased concentrations of total proteins, total phenolics and β-1,3-glucanase activity in roots of all genotypes, and increases were associated with the extent of root mass reductions and thus susceptibility of the plants. Root chitinase and root peroxidase levels were slightly reduced or unaltered upon infection. β-1,3-Glucanase activity was also elevated in leaves of infected plants, but increases did not differ between tolerant and susceptible rootstocks. Effects of root infection on leaves were typically the reverse of effects on roots for chitinase- and peroxidase levels and more pronounced in susceptible rootstock genotypes. Although differences in enzyme expression were observed between susceptible and tolerant citrus seedlings, effects were usually associated with disease progression, and not with resistance to P. palmivora. It is suggested that increased activities of the proteins and soluble phenolics studied are not implicated in the primary defence to Phytophthora root diseases, but may contribute to the inhibition of the pathogen during infection in tolerant citrus.

AB  - This article illustrates the importance of having analytical data on the vitamin and mineral contents of dietary supplements in nutrition studies, and describes efforts to develop an analytically validated dietary supplement ingredient database (DSID) by a consortium of federal agencies in the USA. Preliminary studies of multivitamin mineral supplements marketed in the USA that were analyzed as candidates for the DSID are summarized. Challenges are summarized, possible future directions are outlined, and some related programs at the Office of Dietary Supplements, National Institutes of Health are described. The DSID should be helpful to researchers in assessing relationships between intakes of vitamins and minerals and health outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The flavonoids and the terpene lactones are regarded as the two main active components of Ginkgo biloba that affect human health. In the work discussed in this paper, two analytical methods for the characterization of G. biloba authentic materials and commercial products, an LC–UV chromatographic fingerprinting method and a traditional flavonol quantification method, were compared. The traditional method was used to determine the total flavonol content (as glycosides) after acid hydrolysis. The fingerprinting method examined the chromatographic profiles of methanol–water extracts using chemometric methods. The traditional method showed that all the commercial products met the current voluntary standard of 24% flavonols by weight. The chromatographic fingerprinting method revealed significant variations in the commercial products with regard to the relative concentration of individual flavonols. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Profiling methods are needed that separate and detect all the phenolic compounds in a single extract of a food material. These methods must be comprehensive, rapid, and rich in spectral information. Fourteen methods that meet, or have the potential to meet, these criteria have been selected from the recent literature for review. In general, the methods employ a single aqueous methanol extraction, separation on a reversed-phase C column, and detection by UV/vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The variations in extraction, separation, and detection are discussed. An increasingly important aspect of these methods is the archiving of data to permit cross-comparison of samples and standards and retrospective analysis. This review shows that the necessary technology is available to achieve the desired analytical goals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As part of a study initiating the development of an analytically validated Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) in the United States (US), a selection of dietary supplement products were analyzed for their caffeine content. Products sold as tablets, caplets, or capsules and listing at least one caffeine-containing ingredient (including botanicals such as guarana, yerba mate, kola nut, and green tea extract) on the label were selected for analysis based on market share information. Two or three lots of each product were purchased and analyzed using high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Each analytical run included one or two National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and two products in duplicate. Caffeine intake per serving and per day was calculated using the maximum recommendations on each product label. Laboratory analysis for 53 products showed product means ranging from 1 to 829 mg caffeine/day. For products with a label amount for comparison ( n = 28), 89% ( n = 25) of the products had analytically based caffeine levels/day of between −16% and +16% of the claimed levels. Lot-to-lot variability ( n = 2 or 3) for caffeine in most products (72%) was less than 10%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Crop yields are significantly reduced by aluminum toxicity on highly acidic soils, which comprise up to 50% of the world's arable land. Candidate aluminum tolerance proteins include organic acid efflux transporters, with the organic acids forming non-toxic complexes with rhizosphere aluminum. In this study, we used positional cloning to identify the gene encoding a member of the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family, an aluminum-activated citrate transporter, as responsible for the major sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) aluminum tolerance locus, AltSB. Polymorphisms in regulatory regions of AltSB are likely to contribute to large allelic effects, acting to increase AltSB expression in the root apex of tolerant genotypes. Furthermore, aluminum-inducible AltSB expression is associated with induction of aluminum tolerance via enhanced root citrate exudation. These findings will allow us to identify superior AltSB haplotypes that can be incorporated via molecular breeding and biotechnology into acid soil breeding programs, thus helping to increase crop yields in developing countries where acidic soils predominate.

AB  - A series of bioassays were conducted to determine the response of adult western tarnished plant bugs, Lygus hesperus Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae), to artificial diets containing potassium chloride (KCl). We first examined the feeding behavior of L. hesperus by direct observation in a no-choice diet feeding arena. We observed a total of 22 Lygus feeding events lasting an average of 411 ± 64 s on the control artificial diet and only three feeding events lasting an average of 11 ± 3 s on the KCl-treated diet. We then conducted several multiple diet choice bioassays to determine the feeding response of L. hesperus when exposed simultaneously to five artificial diet treatments containing different amounts of KCl. For the first bioassay, we used standard clear parafilm diet packets and for the second bioassay we used dark green parafilm diet packets to hold the various diet treatments. Regardless of the diet packet color, L. hesperus overwhelmingly selected the 0% KCl diet treatment over diets containing 3, 6, 9, or 12% KCl. The third and fourth multiple diet choice bioassays were identical to the first bioassay, except that concentrations of the KCl-treated diets were reduced. Lygus hesperus consistently selected the control diet over all diets containing more than 0.5% KCl. However, when the concentration of KCl in the diet was reduced to ≤0.4%, there were no significant differences in feeding activity exhibited by L. hesperus. Finally, to determine if the addition of KCl to the diet influenced their upwind response, we examined the responses of L. hesperus that were simultaneously exposed to a control artificial diet and a diet containing 12% KCl in a Y-tube olfactometer bioassay. Of the 95 adults tested, 47 selected the arm containing the normal diet and 48 selected the arm containing KCl-treated diet, indicating that dietary constituents did not preferentially attract or repel L. hesperus. The results from these studies strongly suggest that KCl negatively affects L. hesperus feeding behavior by functioning as a strong gustatory deterrent when concentrations exceed 0.5%. Visual and volatile cues appeared to have no role in mediating orientation or feeding behavior under these test conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common, life threatening birth defect. Although there is strong evidence implicating genetic factors in its pathogenesis, few causative genes have been identified, and in isolated CDH, only one de novo, nonsense mutation has been reported in FOG2 in a female with posterior diaphragmatic eventration. We report here that the homozygous null mouse for the Pdgfrα gene has posterolateral diaphragmatic defects and thus is a model for human CDH. We hypothesized that mutations in this gene could cause human CDH. We sequenced PDGFRα and FOG2 in 96 patients with CDH, of which 53 had isolated CDH (55.2%), 36 had CDH and additional anomalies (37.5%), and 7 had CDH and known chromosome aberrations (7.3%). For FOG2, we identified novel sequence alterations predicting p.M703L and p.T843A in two patients with isolated CDH that were absent in 526 and 564 control chromosomes respectively. These altered amino acids were highly conserved. However, due to the lack of available parental DNA samples we were not able to determine if the sequence alterations were de novo. For PDGFRα, we found a single variant predicting p.L967V in a patient with CDH and multiple anomalies that was absent in 768 control chromosomes. This patient also had one cell with trisomy 15 on skin fibroblast culture, a finding of uncertain significance. Although our study identified sequence variants in FOG2 and PDGFRα, we have not definitively established the variants as mutations and we found no evidence that CDH commonly results from mutations in these genes.European Journal of Human Genetics (2007) 15, 950–958; doi:10.1038/sj.ejhg.5201872; published online 13 June 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Noonan and LEOPARD syndromes are developmental disorders with overlapping features, including cardiac abnormalities, short stature and facial dysmorphia. Increased RAS signaling owing to PTPN11, SOS1 and KRAS mutations causes ∼60% of Noonan syndrome cases, and PTPN11 mutations cause 90% of LEOPARD syndrome cases. Here, we report that 18 of 231 individuals with Noonan syndrome without known mutations (corresponding to 3% of all affected individuals) and two of six individuals with LEOPARD syndrome without PTPN11 mutations have missense mutations in RAF1, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase that activates MEK1 and MEK2. Most mutations altered a motif flanking Ser259, a residue critical for autoinhibition of RAF1 through 14-3-3 binding. Of 19 subjects with a RAF1 mutation in two hotspots, 18 (or 95%) showed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), compared with the 18% prevalence of HCM among individuals with Noonan syndrome in general. Ectopically expressed RAF1 mutants from the two HCM hotspots had increased kinase activity and enhanced ERK activation, whereas non–HCM-associated mutants were kinase impaired. Our findings further implicate increased RAS signaling in pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A wealth of molecular interaction data is available in the literature, ranging from large-scale datasets to a single interaction confirmed by several different techniques. These data are all too often reported either as free text or in tables of variable format, and are often missing key pieces of information essential for a full understanding of the experiment. Here we propose MIMIx, the minimum information required for reporting a molecular interaction experiment. Adherence to these reporting guidelines will result in publications of increased clarity and usefulness to the scientific community and will support the rapid, systematic capture of molecular interaction data in public databases, thereby improving access to valuable interaction data.

AB  - Host races play a central part in understanding the role of host plant mediated divergence and speciation of phytophagous insects. Of greatest interest are host-associated populations that have recently diverged; however, finding genetic evidence for very recent divergences is difficult because initially only a few loci are expected to evolve diagnostic differences. The holly leafminer Phytomyza glabricola feeds on two hollies, Ilex glabra and I. coriacea, that are broadly sympatric throughout most of their ranges. The leafminer is often present on both host plants and exhibits a dramatic life history difference on the two hosts, suggesting that host races may be present. We collected 1393 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequence and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data (45 polymorphic bands) from sympatric populations of flies reared from the two hosts. Phylogenetic and frequency analysis of mitochondrial COI sequence data uncovered considerable variation but no structuring by the host plant, and only limited differentiation among geographical locations. In contrast, analysis of AFLP frequency data found a significant effect with host plant, and a much smaller effect with geographical location. Likewise, neighbour-joining analysis of AFLP data resulted in clustering by host plant. The AFLP data indicate that P. glabricola is most likely comprised of two host races. Because there were no fixed differences in mitochondrial or AFLP data, this host-associated divergence is likely to have occurred very recently. P. glabricola therefore provides a new sympatric system for exploring the role of geography and ecological specialization in the speciation of phytophagous insects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report a microanalytical method to study enzyme kinetics. The technique involves immobilizing horseradish peroxidase on a poly-L-lysine (PLL)- coated glass slide in a microarray format, followed by applying substrate solution onto the enzyme microarray. Enzyme molecules are immobilized on the PLL-coated glass slide through electrostatic interactions, and no further modification of the enzyme or glass slide is needed. In situ detection of the products generated on the enzyme spots is made possible by monitoring the light intensity of each spot using a scientific-grade charged-coupled device (CCD). Reactions of substrate solutions of various types and concentrations can be carried out sequentially on one enzyme microarray. To account for the loss of enzyme from washing in between runs, a standard substrate solution is used for calibration. Substantially reduced amounts of substrate solution are consumed for each reaction on each enzyme spot. The Michaelis constant Km obtained by using this method is comparable to the result for homogeneous solutions. Absorbance detection allows universal monitoring, and no chemical modification of the substrate is needed. High-throughput studies of native enzyme kinetics for multiple enzymes are therefore possible in a simple, rapid, and low-cost manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Transgenic glyphosate-resistant soybeans (GRS) have been commercialized and grown extensively in the Western Hemisphere, including Brazil. Worldwide, several studies have shown that previous and potential effects of glyphosate on contamination of soil, water, and air are minimal, compared to those caused by the herbicides that they replace when GRS are adopted. In the USA and Argentina, the advent of glyphosate-resistant soybeans resulted in a significant shift to reduced- and no-tillage practices, thereby significantly reducing environmental degradation by agriculture. Similar shifts in tillage practiced with GRS might be expected in Brazil. Transgenes encoding glyphosate resistance in soybeans are highly unlikely to be a risk to wild plant species in Brazil. Soybean is almost completely self-pollinated and is a non-native species in Brazil, without wild relatives, making introgression of transgenes from GRS virtually impossible. Probably the highest agricultural risk in adopting GRS in Brazil is related to weed resistance. Weed species in GRS fields have shifted in Brazil to those that can more successfully withstand glyphosate or to those that avoid the time of its application. These include Chamaesyce hirta (erva-de-Santa-Luzia), Commelina benghalensis (trapoeraba), Spermacoce latifolia (erva-quente), Richardia brasiliensis (poaia-branca), and Ipomoea spp. (corda-de-viola). Four weed species, Conyza bonariensis, Conyza Canadensis (buva), Lolium multiflorum (azevem), and Euphorbia heterophylla (amendoim bravo), have evolved resistance to glyphosate in GRS in Brazil and have great potential to become problems.

AB  - Imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine), a chloronicotinyl insecticide used to control biting and sucking insects, is very persistent in the soil with a half-life often greater than 100 days. Although a few soil metabolites have been reported in the literature, there are no reports of imidacloprid-degrading soil microorganisms. Our objectives were to discover, isolate, and characterize microorganisms capable of degrading imidacloprid in soil. Two soil-free stable enrichment cultures in N-limited media were obtained that degraded 19 mg L- 1 (43%) and 11 mg L- 1 (16%) of the applied imidacloprid, and produced about 19 mg L- 1 6-chloronicotinic acid in three weeks. Enrichment media without microorganisms had no loss of imidacloprid. Strain PC-21, obtained from the enrichment cultures, degraded 37% to 58% of 25 mg L- 1 imidacloprid in tryptic soy broth containing 1 g L- 1 succinate and D-glucose at 27°C incubation over a period of three weeks. Trace amounts of NO3-/NO2-were produced and six metabolites were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 14C-methylene-imidacloprid and liquid chromatograph-electrospray-mass spectrometer (LC-MS). Two of the metabolites were identified as imidacloprid-guanidine and imidacloprid-urea by HPLC standards and LC-MS. During the experiment, 6-chloronicotinic acid was not produced. Less than 1% of the applied 14C was incorporated into the microbial biomass and no 14CO2 was detected. Strain PC-21, identified as a species of Leifsonia by PCR amplification of a 500 bp sequence of 16s rRNA, cometabolized imidacloprid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phaeosphaeria species are important causal agents of Stagonospora leaf blotch diseases in cereals. In this study, the nucleotide sequence and deduced polypeptide of the trifunctional histidine biosynthesis gene (his) are used to investigate the phylogenetic relationships and provide molecular identification among cereal Phaeosphaeria species. The full-length sequences of the his gene were obtained by PCR amplification and compared among cereal Phaeosphaeria species. The coding sequence of the his gene in wheat-biotype P. nodorum (PN-w) was 2697 bp. The his genes in barley-biotype P. nodorum (PN-b), two P. avenaria f. sp. triticea isolates (homothallic Pat1 and Pat3), and Phaeosphaeria species from Polish rye and dallis grass were 2694 bp. The his gene in heterothallic isolate Pat2, however, was 2693 bp because the intron had one fewer base. In P. avenaria f. sp. avenaria (Paa), the his gene was only 2670 bp long. The differences in the size of the his gene contributed to the variation in amino acid sequences in the gap region located between the phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase and histidinol dehydrogenase sub-domains. Based on nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the his gene, Pat1 was not closely related to either PN-w or the Paa clade. It appears that rates of evolution of the his gene were fast in cereal Phaeosphaeria species. The possible involvement of meiotic recombination in genetic diversity of the his gene in P. nodorum is discussed. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les espèces du genre Phaeosphaeria sont d’importants agents des taches septoriennes chez les céréales. Dans ce travail, les séquences nucléotidique et peptidique déduite du gène his, lequel code pour une enzyme responsable de trois étapes de la biosynthèse de l’histidine, ont été employées pour étudier les relations phylogénétiques et pour l’identification moléculaire chez les espèces de Phaeosphaeria touchant les céréales. Les séquences complètes de ce gène ont été obtenues par amplification PCR et comparées chez les espèces de Phaeosphaeria touchant les céréales. La séquence codante du gène his chez le biotype du P. nodorum infectant le blé (PN-w) mesurait 2697 pb. Les gènes his chez le biotype du P. nodorum touchant l’orge (PN-b), chez deux isolats du P. avenaria f. sp. triticea (homothallique Pat1 et Pat3), et chez des Phaeosphaeria spp. provenant du seigle polonais et de la digitaire à larges feuilles mesuraient 2694 pb. Le gene his chez l’isolat hétérothallique Pat2 ne comptait que 2693 pb en raison d’une délétion d’une base au sein de l’intron. Chez le P. avenaria f. sp. avenaria (Paa), le gène ne mesurait que 2670 pb. La variation dans la taille des gènes his a contribué à la variation dans les séquences peptidiques au sein de la région séparant les domaines phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase et histidinol déshydrogénase. Sur la base des séquences nucléotidique et peptidique du gène his, le Pat1 n’était fortement apparenté ni au clade PN-w ni au clade Paa. Il semblerait que les taux d’évolution du gène his était rapide chez les Phaeosphaeria infectant les céréales. Le rôle possible de la recombinaison méiotique dans la génération de la diversité génétique au sein du gène his chez le P. nodorum est discuté. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The biosyntheses of both macrocyclic trichothecenes in Myrothecium roridum and simple trichothecenes in Fusarium species begin with the cyclization of farnesyl pyrophosphate to form the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon trichodiene. A previous study showed that Myrothecium has a cluster of 3 genes that are homologous with Fusarium trichothecene genes: Tri4, a P450 oxygenase; Tri5, the sesquiterpene cyclase; and Tri6, a zinc-finger regulatory gene. Fusarium graminearum Tri4 (FgTri4) and M. roridum MrTri4 (MrTri4) have 66.9% identity. In this study, MrTri4 was expressed in Fusarium verticillioides.

AB  - La biosynthèse de trichotécènes macrocycliques chez Myrothecium roridum et de trichothécènes simples chez Fusarium commence par la cyclisation du farnésyl pyrophosphate afin de former l’hydrocarbure de sesquiterpène trichodiène. Une étude précédente avait montré que Myrothecium possédait une grappe de 3 gènes homologues aux gènes de Fusarium : Tri4, une P450 oxygénase; Tri5, une sesquiterpène cyclase; et Tri6, un gène régulateur à doigts de zinc. Les gènes Tri4 de Fusarium graminearum (FgTri4) et de M. roridum (MrTri4) possèdent 66,9 % d’identité. Dans cette étude, MrTri4 a été exprimé chez Fusarium verticillioides. Des cultures liquides des souches transformantes exprimant MrTri4 convertissaient le trichodiène exogène en isotrichodiol, indiquant que MrTri4 contrôle 3 étapes d’oxygénation et que le produit de MrTRI4 est l’isotrichodiol.

AB  - This study investigated the mechanisms involved in the regulation of stomatal closure in Douglas-fir and evaluated the potential impact of compensatory adjustments in response to increasing tree height upon these mechanisms. In the laboratory, we measured leaf hydraulic conductance ( Kleaf) as leaf water potential ( Ψl) declined for comparison with in situ diurnal patterns of stomatal conductance ( gs) and Ψl in Douglas-fir across a height gradient, allowing us to infer linkages between diurnal changes in Kleaf and gs. A recently developed timed rehydration technique was used in conjunction with data from pressure–volume curves to develop hydraulic vulnerability curves for needles attached to small twigs. Laboratory-measured Kleaf declined with increasing leaf water stress and was substantially reduced at Ψl values of −1.34, −1.45, −1.56 and −1.92 MPa for foliage sampled at mean heights of approximately 20, 35, 44 and 55 m, respectively. In situ gs measurements showed that stomatal closure was initiated at Ψl values of −1.21, −1.36, −1.74 and −1.86 MPa along the height gradient, which was highly correlated with Ψl values at loss of Kleaf. Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that relative abundances of embolized tracheids in the central vein increased with increasing leaf water stress. Leaf embolism appeared to be coupled to changes in gs and might perform a vital function in stomatal regulation of plant water status and water transport in conifers. The observed trends in gs and Kleaf in response to changes in Ψl along a height gradient suggest that the foliage at the tops of tall trees is capable of maintaining stomatal conductance at more negative Ψl. This adaptation may allow taller trees to continue to photosynthesize during periods of greater water stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A 2217-nucleotide cDNA presumptively encoding acetylcholmesterase (AChE) of the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.) was sequenced. The open reading frame (ORF) encoded a 91 amino acid secretion signal peptide and a 613 amino acid mature protein with 95% identity and 98% similarity to the AChE of Musca domestica (L.). Structural features characteristic of the M. domestica and Drosophila melanogaster AChEs are conserved in the H. irritans AChE. The M. domestica and D. melanogaster AChEs are target sites for organophosphate inhibition as previously shown (Walsh et al. 2001. Biochem. J. 359: 175–181, Kozaki et al. 2002. Appl. Entomol. Zool. 37: 213–218), suggesting that this H. irritans AChE2 may be the target site for organophosphate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Streptococcus iniae and Gyrodactylus niloticus are two common pathogens of cultured Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. We studied concurrent infection of tilapia by G. niloticus and S. iniae and evaluated whether parasitism in tilapia with Gyrodactylus increased susceptibility and mortality following immersion infection with S. iniae. Results showed that death mainly occurred in fish with G. niloticus and challenged with S. iniae (G–S group). The accumulative mortality (42.2%) was significantly higher in the G–S group than in fish not infected by the parasite (6.7%), but exposed to S. iniae. Bacteriological examination revealed S. iniae from ≥92% of dead or moribund fish challenged with S. iniae. Gyrodactylus not only damaged fish epithelium and provided entry for invasive bacteria but also was found to harbour viable cells of S. iniae for 24 and 72 h. Streptococcus iniae was isolated from 60% and 40% of G. niloticus collected from fish infected by intraperitoneal injection or immersion, respectively, at 24 h post-challenge. The present study confirms that parasitism of tilapia by G. niloticus increased host mortality following exposure to the bacterial pathogen S. iniae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We studied 7 influenza (H5N1) viruses isolated from poultry in western Siberia and the European part of the Russian Federation during July 2005-February 2006. Full genome sequences showed high homology to Qinghai-like influenza (H5N1) viruses. Phylogenetic analysis not only showed a close genetic relationship between the H5N1 strains isolated from poultry and wild migratory waterfowls but also suggested genetic reassortment among the analyzed isolates. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequences of the M2 and neuraminidase proteins showed that all isolates are potentially sensitive to currently available antiviral drugs. Pathogenicity testing showed that all studied viruses were highly pathogenic in chickens; for 3 isolates tested in mice and 2 tested in ferrets, pathogenicity was heterogeneous. Pathogenicity in mammalian models was generally correlated with Lys at residue 627 of polymerase basic protein 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Resequencing genes provides the opportunity to assess the full spectrum of variants that influence complex traits. Here we report the first application of resequencing to a large population (n = 3,551) to examine the role of the adipokine ANGPTL4 in lipid metabolism. Nonsynonymous variants in ANGPTL4 were more prevalent in individuals with triglyceride levels in the lowest quartile than in individuals with levels in the highest quartile (P = 0.016). One variant (E40K), present in ∼3% of European Americans, was associated with significantly lower plasma levels of triglyceride and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in European Americans from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study and in Danes from the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous variants was higher in European Americans than in African Americans (4:1 versus 1.3:1), suggesting population-specific relaxation of purifying selection. Thus, resequencing of ANGPTL4 in a multiethnic population allowed analysis of the phenotypic effects of both rare and common variants while taking advantage of genetic variation arising from ethnic differences in population history.

AB  - Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) is a salt-tolerant member of the Triticeae. Recent transcriptome studies on salinity stress response in barley revealed regulation of jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and JA-responsive genes by salt stress. From that observation and several other physiological reports, it was hypothesized that JA is involved in the adaptation of barley to salt stress. Here we tested that hypothesis by applying JA to barley plants and observing the physiological responses and transcriptome changes. Photosynthetic and sodium ion accumulation responses were compared after (1) salinity stress, (2) JA treatment and (3) JA pre-treatment followed by salinity stress. The JA-pre-treated salt-stressed plants accumulated strikingly low levels of Na+ in the shoot tissue compared with untreated salt-stressed plants after several days of exposure to stress. In addition, pre-treatment with JA partially alleviated photosynthetic inhibition caused by salinity stress. Expression profiling after a short-term exposure to salinity stress indicated a considerable overlap between genes regulated by salinity stress and JA application. Three JA-regulated genes, arginine decarboxylase, ribulose 1·5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activase and apoplastic invertase are possibly involved in salinity tolerance mediated by JA. This work provides a reference data set for further study of the role of JA in salinity tolerance in barley and other plants species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chiral inorganic materials predated life on Earth, and their enantiospecific surface chemistry may have played a role in the origins of biomolecular homochirality. However, enantiospecific differences in the interaction energies of chiral molecules with chiral surfaces are small and typically lead to modest enantioselectivities in adsorption, catalysis, and chemistry on chiral surfaces. To yield high enantioselectivities, small energy differences must be amplified by reaction mechanisms such as autocatalytic surface explosions which have nonlinear kinetics. Herein, we report the first observations of superenantiospecificity resulting from an autocatalytic surface explosion reaction of a chiral molecule on a naturally chiral surface. R,R- and S,S-tartaric acid decompose via a vacancy-mediated surface explosion mechanism on Cu single crystal surfaces. When coupled with surface chirality, this leads to decomposition rates that exhibit extraordinarily high enantiospecificity. On the enantiomorphs of naturally chiral Cu(643)R&S, Cu(17,5,1)R&S, Cu(531)R&S and Cu(651)R&S single crystal surfaces, R,R- and S,S-tartaric acid exhibit enantiospecific decomposition rates that differ by as much as 2 orders of magnitude, despite the fact that the effective rates constants for decomposition differ by less than a factor of 2.

AB  - Phosphonates, molecules containing direct carbon-phosphorus bonds, compose a structurally diverse class of natural products with interesting and useful biological properties. Although their synthesis in protozoa was discovered more than 50 y ago, the extent and diversity of phosphonate production in nature remains poorly characterized. The rearrangement of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to phosphonopyruvate, catalyzed by the enzyme PEP mutase (PepM), is shared by the vast majority of known phosphonate biosynthetic pathways. Thus, the pepM gene can be used as a molecular marker to examine the occurrence and abundance of phosphonate-producing organisms. Based on the presence of this gene, phosphonate biosynthesis is common in microbes, with ~5% of sequenced bacterial genomes and 7% of genome equivalents in metagenomic datasets carrying pepM homologs. Similarly, we detected the pepM gene in ~5% of random actinomycete isolates. The pepM-containing gene neighborhoods from 25 of these isolates were cloned, sequenced, and compared with those found in sequenced genomes. PEP mutase sequence conservation is strongly correlated with conservation of other nearby genes, suggesting that the diversity of phosphonate biosynthetic pathways can be predicted by examining PEP mutase diversity. We used this approach to estimate the range of phosphonate biosynthetic pathways in nature, revealing dozens of discrete groups in pepM amplicons from local soils, whereas hundreds were observed in metagenomic datasets. Collectively, our analyses show that phosphonate biosynthesis is both diverse and relatively common in nature, suggesting that the role of phosphonate molecules in the biosphere may be more important than is often recognized.

AB  - The mutualistic symbiosis involving Glomeromycota, a distinctive phylum of early diverging Fungi, is widely hypothesized to have promoted the evolution of land plants during the middle Paleozoic. These arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) perform vital functions in the phosphorus cycle that are fundamental to sustainable crop plant productivity. The unusual biological features of AMF have long fascinated evolutionary biologists. The coenocytic hyphae host a community of hundreds of nuclei and reproduce clonally through large multinucleated spores. It has been suggested that the AMF maintain a stable assemblage of several different genomes during the life cycle, but this genomic organization has been questioned. Here we introduce the 153-Mb haploid genome of Rhizophagus irregularis and its repertoire of 28,232 genes. The observed low level of genome polymorphism (0.43 SNP per kb) is not consistent with the occurrence of multiple, highly diverged genomes. The expansion of mating-related genes suggests the existence of cryptic sex-related processes. A comparison of gene categories confirms that R. irregularis is close to the Mucoromycotina. The AMF obligate biotrophy is not explained by genome erosion or any related loss of metabolic complexity in central metabolism, but is marked by a lack of genes encoding plant cell walldegrading enzymes and of genes involved in toxin and thiamine synthesis. A battery of mycorrhiza-induced secreted proteins is expressed in symbiotic tissues. The present comprehensive repertoire of R. irregularis genes provides a basis for future research on symbiosis-related mechanisms in Glomeromycota. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dams and impoundments, both large and small, affect downstream physicochemical characteristics and up- and downstream biotic communities. I tested whether small dams and their impoundments altered downstream crayfish assemblages in northern Mississippi. I sampled crayfish and measured physicochemical variables at 4 sites downstream of impoundments (outlet sites) and 4 sites not influenced by impoundments (undammed sites) in August, September, and November 2004. In November 2010, I sampled 7 undammed, 6 outlet, and 3 intermediate sites (influenced by beaver activity or ,1 km downstream of an impoundment). Crayfish assemblages differed between undammed and outlet sites. Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) of Orconectes (Trisellescens) sp. was higher in undammed than outlet sites in both years. Procambarus (Pennides) spp. CPUE was lower in undammed than outlet sites in November 2010 and nearly so in November 2004. In 2004, Procambarus (Ortmannicus) hayi was common in autumn at outlet sites but virtually absent from undammed sites, but in 2010, P. hayi CPUE did not differ between categories. Cambarus striatus CPUE, which was low overall, did not differ between categories in 2004 but was higher in undammed sites in 2010. Seasonal differences among taxa in reproductive timing were important to understanding impoundment effects. The most consistent difference in habitat was that undammed sites had significantly higher width:depth ratios than did outlet sites. Based on the number of mapped small impoundments and a conservative estimate that each impoundment influenced crayfish assemblages over 2 km, I estimated that impoundments probably affect crayfish assemblages in >284 km of stream in the upper Little Tallahatchie River subbasin. Extrapolated to the entire Gulf Coastal Plain, impoundments may influence crayfish assemblages over thousands of stream kilometers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. We review the environmental factors controlling their structure and global distribution and evaluate their current and future trajectory. Adaptations of trees to climate and resource gradients, coupled with disturbances and forest dynamics, create complex geographical patterns in forest assemblages and structures. These patterns are increasingly discernible through new satellite and airborne observation systems, improved forest inventories, and global ecosystem models. Forest biomass is a complex property affected by forest distribution, structure, and ecological processes. Since at least 1990, biomass density has consistently increased in global established forests, despite increasing mortality in some regions, suggesting that a global driver such as elevated CO2 may be enhancing biomass gains. Global forests have also apparently become more dynamic. Advanced information about the structure, distribution, and biomass of the world's forests provides critical ecological insights and opportunities for sustainable forest management and enhancing forest conservation and ecosystem services.

AB  - Abstract: Advances in next-generation sequencing and genotyping technologies have enabled generation of large-scale genomic resources such as molecular markers, transcript reads and BAC-end sequences (BESs) in chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, three major legume crops of the semi-arid tropics. Comprehensive transcriptome assemblies and genome sequences have either been developed or underway in these crops. Based on these resources, dense genetic maps, QTL maps as well as physical maps for these legume species have also been developed. As a result, these crops have graduated from ‘orphan’ or ‘less-studied’ crops to ‘genomic resources rich’ crops. This article summarizes the above-mentioned advances in genomics and genomics-assisted breeding applications in the form of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for hybrid purity assessment in pigeonpea; marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) for introgressing QTL region for drought-tolerance related traits, Fusarium wilt (FW) resistance and Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance in chickpea; late leaf spot (LLS), leaf rust and nematode resistance in groundnut. We critically present the case of use of other modern breeding approaches like marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) and genomic selection (GS) to utilize the full potential of genomics-assisted breeding for developing superior cultivars with enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses. In addition, this article recommends the use of advanced-backcross (AB-backcross) breeding and development of specialized populations such as multi-parents advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) for creating new variations that will help in developing superior lines with broadened genetic base. In summary, we propose the use of integrated genomics and breeding approach in these legume crops to enhance crop productivity in marginal environments ensuring food security in developing countries.

AB  - Avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1), or Newcastle disease virus, is the causative agent of Newcastle disease, one of the most economically important diseases for poultry production worldwide and a cause of periodic epizootics in wild birds in North America. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity of APMV-1 isolated from migratory birds sampled in Alaska, Japan, and Russia and assessed the evidence for intercontinental virus spread using phylogenetic methods. Additionally, we predicted viral virulence using deduced amino acid residues for the fusion protein cleavage site and estimated mutation rates for the fusion gene of class I and class II migratory bird isolates. All 73 isolates sequenced as part of this study were most closely related to virus genotypes previously reported for wild birds; however, five class II genotype I isolates formed a monophyletic clade exhibiting previously unreported genetic diversity, which met criteria for the designation of a new sub-genotype. Phylogenetic analysis of wild-bird isolates provided evidence for intercontinental virus spread, specifically viral lineages of APMV-1 class II genotype I sub-genotypes Ib and Ic. This result supports migratory bird movement as a possible mechanism for the redistribution of APMV-1. None of the predicted deduced amino acid motifs for the fusion protein cleavage site of APMV-1 strains isolated from migratory birds in Alaska, Japan, and Russia were consistent with those of previously identified virulent viruses. These data therefore provide no support for these strains contributing to the emergence of avian pathogens. The estimated mutation rates for fusion genes of class I and class II wild-bird isolates were faster than those reported previously for non-virulent APMV-1 strains. Collectively, these findings provide new insight into the diversity, spread, and evolution of APMV-1 in wild birds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Computerized mating programs using genomic information are needed by breed associations, artificial-insemination organizations, and on-farm software providers, but such software is already challenged by the size of the relationship matrix. As of October 2012, over 230,000 Holsteins obtained genomic predictions in North America. Efficient methods of storing, computing, and transferring genomic relationships from a central database to customers via a web query were developed for approximately 165,000 genotyped cows and the subset of 1,518 bulls whose semen was available for purchase at that time. This study, utilizing 3 breeds, investigated differences in sire selection, methods of assigning mates, the use of genomic or pedigree relationships, and the effect of including dominance effects in a mating program. For both Jerseys and Holsteins, selection and mating programs were tested using the top 50 marketed bulls for genomic and traditional lifetime net merit as well as 50 randomly selected bulls. The 500 youngest genotyped cows in the largest herd in each breed were assigned mates of the same breed with limits of 10 cows per bull and 1 bull per cow (only 79 cows and 8 bulls for Brown Swiss). A dominance variance of 4.1 and 3.7% was estimated for Holsteins and Jerseys using 45,187 markers and management group deviation for milk yield. Sire selection was identified as the most important component of improving expected progeny value, followed by managing inbreeding and then inclusion of dominance. The respective percentage gains for milk yield in this study were 64, 27, and 9, for Holsteins and 73, 20, and 7 for Jerseys. The linear programming method of assigning a mate outperformed sequential selection by reducing genomic or pedigree inbreeding by 0.86 to 1.06 and 0.93 to 1.41, respectively. Use of genomic over pedigree relationship information provided a larger decrease in expected progeny inbreeding and thus greater expected progeny value. Based on lifetime net merit, the economic value of using genomic relationships was >$3 million per year for Holsteins when applied to all genotyped females, assuming that each will provide 1 replacement. Previous mating programs required transferring only a pedigree file to customers, but better service is possible by incorporating genomic relationships, more precise mate allocation, and dominance effects. Economic benefits will continue to grow as more females are genotyped. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Members of the genus Candidatus Accumulibacter are important in many wastewater treatment systems performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The Accumulibacter lineage can be subdivided phylogenetically into multiple clades, and previous work showed that these clades are ecologically distinct. The complete genome of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis strain UW-1, a member of Clade IIA, was previously sequenced. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of Candidatus Accumulibacter spp. strain UW-2, a member of Clade IA, assembled following shotgun metagenomic sequencing of laboratory-scale bioreactor sludge. We estimate the genome to be 80-90% complete. Although the two clades share 16S rRNA sequence identity of >98.0%, we observed a remarkable lack of synteny between the two genomes. We identified 2317 genes shared between the two genomes, with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 78.3%, and accounting for 49% of genes in the UW-1 genome. Unlike UW-1, the UW-2 genome seemed to lack genes for nitrogen fixation and carbon fixation. Despite these differences, metabolic genes essential for denitrification and EBPR, including carbon storage polymer and polyphosphate metabolism, were conserved in both genomes. The ANI from genes associated with EBPR was statistically higher than that from genes not associated with EBPR, indicating a high selective pressure in EBPR systems. Further, we identified genomic islands of foreign origins including a near-complete lysogenic phage in the Clade IA genome. Interestingly, Clade IA appeared to be more phage susceptible based on it containing only a single Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats locus as compared with the two found in Clade IIA. Overall, the comparative analysis provided a genetic basis to understand physiological differences and ecological niches of Accumulibacter populations, and highlights the importance of diversity in maintaining system functional resilience.

AB  - Although several per cent of net carbon assimilation can be re-released as isoprene emissions to the atmosphere by many tropical plants, much uncertainty remains regarding its biological significance. In a previous study, we detected emissions of isoprene and its oxidation products methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR) from tropical plants under high temperature/light stress, suggesting that isoprene is oxidized not only in the atmosphere but also within plants. However, a comprehensive analysis of the suite of isoprene oxidation products in plants has not been performed and production relationships with environmental stress have not been described. In this study, putative isoprene oxidation products from mango (Mangifera indica) branches under abiotic stress were first identified. High temperature/light and freeze–thaw treatments verified direct emissions of the isoprene oxidation products MVK and MACR together with the first observations of 3-methyl furan (3-MF) and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) as putative novel isoprene oxidation products. Mechanical wounding also stimulated emissions of MVK and MACR. Photosynthesis under 13CO2 resulted in rapid (<30min) labelling of up to five carbon atoms of isoprene, with a similar labelling pattern observed in the putative oxidation products. These observations highlight the need to investigate further the mechanisms of isoprene oxidation within plants under stress and its biological and atmospheric significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Disposal of produced waters, pumped to the surface as part of coalbed methane (CBM) development, is a significant environmental issue in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin, USA. High sodium adsorption ratios (SAR) of the waters could degrade agricultural land, especially if directly applied to the soil surface. One method of disposing of CBM water, while deriving beneficial use, is subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), where acidified CBM waters are applied to alfalfa fields year-round via tubing buried 0.92 m deep. Effects of the method were studied on an alluvial terrace with a relatively shallow depth to water table (∼3 m). Excess irrigation water caused the water table to rise, even temporarily reaching the depth of drip tubing. The rise corresponded to increased salinity in some monitoring wells. Three factors appeared to drive increased groundwater salinity: (1) CBM solutes, concentrated by evapotranspiration; (2) gypsum dissolution, apparently enhanced by cation exchange; and (3) dissolution of native Na–Mg–SO 4 salts more soluble than gypsum. Irrigation with high SAR (∼24) water has increased soil saturated paste SAR up to 15 near the drip tubing. Importantly though, little change in SAR has occurred at the surface.

AB  - La eliminación de aguas producidas, bombeada a la superficie como parte de la explotación de gas metano de mantos de carbón (CBM), es un tema ambiental significativo en la porción de Wyoming de la cuenca del Río Powder, EEUU. Las altas relaciones de absorción sodio (SAR) de la aguas podrían degradar las tierras agrícolas, especialmente si es aplicado directamente a la superficie del suelo. Un método para eliminar el agua de CBM, mientras que se aprovechan al mismo tiempo sus beneficios, es el riego supsuperficial por goteo (SDI), donde las aguas acidificadas CBM son aplicadas a campos de alfalfa durante todo el año a través de tubos enterrados a 0.92 m de profundidad. Los efectos del método fueron estudiados en una terraza aluvial con una profundidad relativamente somera del nivel freático (∼3 m). Los excesos del agua de riego causaron la elevación del nivel freático, incluso alcanzando temporariamente la profundidad de los tubos de goteo. El ascenso se correspondió con un incremento de la salinidad en algunos pozos. Tres factores aparecieron como forzantes para impulsar el aumento en la salinidad de las aguas subterráneas: (1) solutos CBM, concentrados por evaporación; (2) disolución de yeso, aparentemente enriquecido por intercambio catiónico; y (3) disolución de sales nativas Na–Mg–SO 4 más soluble que el yeso. La irrigación con agua de altos valores de SAR (∼24) ha incrementado el SAR de la pasta saturada del suelo hasta 15 veces cerca de los tubos de goteo. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que ha ocurrido poco cambio del SAR en la superficie. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Résumé: L’élimination des eaux produites et pompées jusqu’à la surface lors de l’extraction de méthane de charbon (CBM) constitue un enjeu environnemental important dans la partie du bassin de la rivière Powder appartenant au Wyoming, USA. Les forts Rapports d’Adsorption du Sodium (SAR) des eaux pourraient dégrader les terres agricoles, particulièrement si les eaux sont directement appliquées à la surface du sol. Une méthode d’élimination de l’eau de CBM, tout en en tirant un usage bénéfique, est l’irrigation souterraine au goutte à goutte (SDI), où les eaux de CBM acidifiées sont appliquées à longueur d’année à des champs de luzerne au moyen de tubes enterrés à 0.92 m de profondeur. Les effets de cette méthode ont été étudiés sur une terrasse alluviale avec un niveau piézométrique relativement peu profond (∼3 m). L’excédent d’irrigation entraîne une montée du niveau piézométrique, qui atteint même temporairement la profondeur des tubes de goutte à goutte. Cette montée coïncide avec à une augmentation de la salinité dans certains puits. Trois facteurs paraissent piloter l’augmentation de la salinité des eaux souterraines : (1) les solutés des CBM, concentrés par évapotranspiration; (2) la dissolution du gypse, apparemment augmentée par échange de cation; et (3) la dissolution de sels natifs de Na–Mg–SO 4 plus solubles que le gypse. L’irrigation avec de l’eau à SAR élevé (∼24) a augmenté jusqu’à 15 le SAR du sol situé près des tubages de goutte à goutte (mesure sur échantillon de sol porté à saturation en eau et mixé). Pourtant, ce qui est important, le SAR a peu changé à la surface. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Resumo: O uso de águas produzidas e bombeadas para a superfície como parte da exploração de camadas de carvão e metano (CBM) é uma questão ambiental significativa na porção de Wyoming da Bacia do Rio Powder, nos EUA. A elevada relação de adsorção de sódio (SAR) das águas poderia degradar o solo agrícola, especialmente se a aplicação fosse feita à superfície do solo. Uma metodologia para utilização das águas CBM, enquanto são aproveitadas para fins úteis, é a rega gota a gota subsuperficial (SDI), onde águas acidificadas CBM são aplicadas em campos de alfafa durante todo o ano através de tubos enterrados a 0.92 m de profundidade. Foram estudados os efeitos da metodologia num terraço aluvial com a água subterrânea a uma profundidade baixa (∼3 m). O excesso de água de rega causou a elevação do nível freático, tendo mesmo temporariamente atingido a profundidade da tubagem gota a gota. Esta subida do nível da água subterrânea correspondeu a um incremento da salinidade nalguns poços. Três fatores parecem incrementar a salinidade das águas subterrâneas: (1) solutos CBM, concentrados por evapotranspiração, (2) dissolução de gesso, aparentemente potenciada por troca catónica; e (3) dissolução de sais nativos Na–Mg–SO 4, mais solúveis que o gesso. A rega com água com SAR elevada (∼24) incrementou a SAR na pasta saturada do solo até 15 próximo do tubo de rega gota a gota. Importante contudo é que apenas pequenas alterações ocorreram no SAR à superfície. (Portuguese) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - 摘要: 产出水的处理、作为煤层甲烷开采的一部分抽到地表是美国Powder河流域Wyoming州境内部分一个重要的环境问题。水的高钠吸收率可以使农业土地退化,特别是在直接应用于地表的情况下。处理煤层甲烷水的一个方法就是采用地下滴灌,酸化的煤层甲烷水通过埋深0.92 m 的 管滴灌常年种植苜蓿的 土地。研究了该方法对水位相对浅(∼3 m )的冲积阶地的影响。过度的灌溉水引起水位上升,甚至临时可 达到滴灌埋管的深度。水位上升与有些井中的增加的盐度相一致。三个因素似乎增加了地下水中的盐度:(1)蒸腾蒸发后的煤层甲烷溶质;(2)石膏溶解,阳离子明显增加石膏溶解;(3)比石膏更容易溶解的本地Na–Mg–SO 4盐分的溶解。用高钠吸收率 (∼24) 水灌溉可以 使土壤饱和泥状基质高钠吸收率在滴灌埋管附近增加 到15。尽管钠吸收率变化非常大,但在地表几乎没有变化。 (Chinese) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Synthetic herbicides have been used globally to control weeds in major field crops. This has imposed a strong selection for any trait that enables plant populations to survive and reproduce in the presence of the herbicide. Herbicide resistance in weeds must be minimized because it is a major limiting factor to food security in global agriculture. This represents a huge challenge that will require great research efforts to develop control strategies as alternatives to the dominant and almost exclusive practice of weed control by herbicides. Weed scientists, plant ecologists and evolutionary biologists should join forces and work towards an improved and more integrated understanding of resistance across all scales. This approach will likely facilitate the design of innovative solutions to the global herbicide resistance challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Optical triggering of high-voltage (18 kV-class) 4H-SiC thyristors with a single amplification step (pilot thyristor) is reported. It is demonstrated that the switch-on processes in such high-voltage structures are quite different from the switch-on processes in 12 kV 4H-SiC thyristors. In particular, the switch-on process occurs in two stages even at maximum light pulse energy and rather high anode biases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the life cycle of higher plants, it is the fate of meristem cells that determines the pattern of growth and development, and therefore plant morphotype and fertility. Floral transition, the turning point from vegetative growth to reproductive development, is achieved via genetically programmed sequential changes in menstem fate from vegetative to inflorescence, and to floral, leading to flower formation and eventual seed production. The transition is rarely reversible once initiated. In this communication, we report that a bacterial infection can derail the genetically programmed fate of meristem cells, thereby drastically altering the growth pattern of the host plant. We identified four characteristic symptoms in tomato plants infected with a cell wall-less bacterium, phytoplasma. The symptoms are a manifestation of the pathogen-induced alterations of growth pattern, whereas each symptom corresponds to a distinct phase in the derailment of shoot apical meristem fate. The phases include premature floral menistem termination, suppressed floral meristem initiation, delayed conversion of vegetative meristem to inflorescence meristem, and repetitive initiation and outgrowth of lateral vegetative meristems. We further found that the pathogen-induced alterations of growth pattern were correlated with transcriptional reprogramming of key menistem switching genes. Our findings open an avenue toward understanding pathological alterations in patterns of plant growth and development, thus aiding identification of molecular targets for disease control and symptom alleviation. The findings also provide insights for understanding stem cell pluripotency and raise a tantalizing possibility for using phytoplasma as a tool to dissect the course of normal plant development and to modify plant morphogenesis by manipulating menistem fate.

AB  - Plant and animal pathogenic bacteria can suppress host immunity by injecting type III secreted effector (T3SE) proteins into host cells. However, T3SEs can also elicit host immunity if the host has evolved a means to recognize the presence or activity of specific T3SEs. The diverse YopJ/HopZ/AvrRxv T3SE superfamily, which is found in both animal and plant pathogens, provides examples of T3SEs playing this dual role. The T3SE HopZ1a is an acetyltransferase carried by the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae that elicits effector-triggered immunity (ETI) when recognized in Arabidopsis thaliana by the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) protein ZAR1. However, recognition of HopZ1a does not require any known ETI-related genes. Using a forward genetics approach, we identify a unique ETI-associated gene that is essential for ZAR1-mediated immunity. The hopZ-ETI-deficient1 (zed1) mutant is specifically impaired in the recognition of HopZ1a, but not the recognition of other unrelated T3SEs or in pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-triggered immunity. ZED1 directly interacts with both HopZ1a and ZAR1 and is acetylated on threonines 125 and 177 by HopZ1a. ZED1 is a nonfunctional kinase that forms part of small genomic cluster of kinases in Arabidopsis. We hypothesize that ZED1 acts as a decoy to lure HopZ1a to the ZAR1–resistance complex, resulting in ETI activation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: About 75% of dogs worldwide are free to roam and reproduce, thus creating locally overabundant populations. Problems caused by roaming dogs include diseases transmitted to livestock and humans, predation on livestock, attacks on humans, road traffic accidents, and nuisance behavior. Nonsurgical fertility control is increasingly advocated as more cost-effective than surgical sterilization to manage dog populations and their impact. The aims of this review were to 1) analyze trends in numbers of scientific publications on nonsurgical fertility control for dogs; 2) illustrate the spectrum of fertility inhibitors available for dogs; 3) examine how differences between confined and free-roaming dogs might affect the choice of fertility inhibitors to be used in dog population management; and 4) provide a framework of criteria to guide decisions regarding the use of nonsurgical fertility control for dog population management. The results showed that the 117 articles published between 1982 and 2011 focussed on long-term hormonal contraceptives, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, immunocontraceptives, and male chemical sterilants. The number of articles published biennially increased from one to five papers produced in the early 1980s to 10 to 20 in the past decade. Differences between confined dogs and free-roaming dogs include reproduction and survival as well as social expectations regarding the duration of infertility, the costs of sterilization, and the responsibilities for meeting these costs. These differences are likely to dictate which fertility inhibitors will be used for confined or free-roaming dogs. The criteria regarding the use of fertility control for dog population management, presented as a decision tree, covered social acceptance, animal welfare, effectiveness, legal compliance, feasibility, and sustainability. The review concluded that the main challenges for the future are evaluating the feasibility, effectiveness, sustainability, and effects of mass nonsurgical sterilization campaigns on dog population size and impact as well as integrating nonsurgical fertility control with disease vaccination and public education programs.

AB  - Abstract: The degradation of a bio-renewable polymer under UV exposure was studied using various methods. Degradation of the bio-renewable polymer increased with increasing exposure time. Enhanced cross-link density in the early stage of degradation was confirmed by Soxhlet extraction. Tensile testing showed a transition from ductile failure to brittle fracture. Surface cracks and embrittlement were primary reasons for most reductions in mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and breaking strain. The effects of degradation were confined to the surface of thick bio-based polymer specimens, confirmed by both SEM and PAS-FTIR. Depth profile studies of degraded samples showed that the concentration of oxidation products, such as hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, varied with depth depending on the diffusion of oxygen.

AB  - The production of next-generation biofuels both in the EU-27 and the USA involves producing biofuels beyond the conventional sugar, starch, vegetable oils, and animal-fat-based biofuels now produced commercially. Next-generation biofuels can be derived from non-food crops or agricultural residues, fast-growing trees, forestry, and municipal wastes, etc., and include (cellulosic) ethanol, butanol, methanol, dimethyl ether ( DME), Fischer-Tropsch diesel, upgraded pyrolysis oils, microbial drop-in gasoline and diesel substitutes, and biofuels made from microbial oils and algae. The context of policy development for next-generation biofuels both in the USA and the EU-27 is based on the evidence that as demand for biofuels is growing and both the market and policies become more ambitious, a broader variety of feedstocks are needed to meet increasing production and use goals. At the moment, in both regions, policies to support conventional biofuels are still in place, but new strategies are being adopted at a fast rate to build a bridge from first-generation to next-generation biofuels and ensure sustainable supply. This paper presents the background and rationale for the current policy regimes and funding schemes in the USA and EU-27 in relation to next-generation biofuels, gives an update of the current market developments and provides a set of recommendations on the key issues that future policy formation should take into account to efficiently translate the 'ambitious' targets into a commercialization prospects. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The identification, enrichment and subsequent isolation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are integral to the success of SCC transplants between fertile donor and sterilized recipient males. In birds generally and particularly in chicken, SSC-specific has yet to be identified. The receptor for glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), i.e. GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (GFRα1), has been identified as a potential marker for different mouse spermatogonial subtypes. In the present study, we characterized the chicken cGFRα1 receptor and compared its predicted amino-acid sequence with mouse, rat and human GFRα1 proteins. Using specific polyclonal mouse anti-cGFRα1 serum, a total of 2.8% cells were recognized as cGFRα1-positive among isolated testicular cells recovered from sexually mature cockerels. The percentages of cGFRα1-positive testicular cells with haploid, diploid, tetraploid and SP DNA content were 1.6%, 2.5%, 39.3% and 76.8%, respectively. The presence of cGFRα1 protein on the surfaces of all cells of the seminiferous epithelium was confirmed by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical analyses. Tissue specificity of cGFRα1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in adult testes compared to brain tissue which itself was several times higher than tissues prepared from the spleen, liver and heart. No expression was observed in muscular tissue. At last, we demonstrated the successful repopulation of sterilized recipient's testes with transplanted cGFRα1-positive donor testicular cells. Recipient males subsequently produced functional heterologous spermatozoa capable of fertilizing an ovum and obtaining chicks with donor cell genotypes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Sixty samples of 'ForagePlus' oat were selected from a previous plot study for analysis of in vitro gas production (IVGP) on the basis of 2 factors: (1) high (n = 29) or low (n = 31) neutral detergent fiber (NDF; 62.7 ± 2.61 and 45.1 ± 3.91%, respectively); and (2) the range of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) within the high- and low-NDF groups. For the WSC selection factor, concentrations ranged from 4.7 to 13.4% (mean = 7.9 ± 2.06%) and from 3.5 to 19.4% (mean = 9.7 ± 4.57%) within high- and low-NDF forages, respectively. Our objectives were to assess the relationships between IVGP and various agronomic or nutritional characteristics for high- and low-NDF fall-oat forages. Cumulative IVGP was fitted to a single-pool nonlinear regression model: Y = MAX x (1 - e [-K x (t - lag)]), where Y = cumulative gas produced (mL), MAX = maximum cumulative gas produced with infinite incubation time (mL), K = rate constant, t = incubation time (h), and lag = discrete lag time (h). Generally, cumulative IVGP after 12, 24, 36, or 48 h within high-NDF fall-oat forages was negatively correlated with NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash, but positively correlated with WSC, nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). For low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, IVGP was positively correlated with growth stage, canopy height, WSC, NFC, and TDN; negative correlations were observed with ash and crude protein (CP) but not generally with fiber components. These responses were also reflected in multiple regression analysis for high- and low-NDF forages. After 12, 24, or 36 h of incubation, cumulative IVGP within high-NDF fall-oat forages was explained by complex regression equations utilizing (lignin:NDF)2, lignin:NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and TDN2 as independent variables (R² ≥ 0.43). Within low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, cumulative IVGP at these incubation intervals was explained by positive linear relationships with NFC that also exhibited high coefficients of determination (R² ≥ 0.75). Gas production was accelerated at early incubation times within low-NDF forages, specifically in response to large pools of WSC that were most likely to be present as forages approached boot stage by late-fall.

T1  - Dietary starch source and protein degradability in diets containing sucrose: Effects on ruminal measures and proposed mechanism for degradable protein effects.

AB  - A feeding study was conducted to evaluate ruminal effects of starch source (STA) and rumen-degradable dietary protein (RDP) in diets with added sucrose. The experimental design was an incomplete Latin square with three 21-d periods, 8 ruminally cannulated lactating cows, and a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Treatments were STA (dry ground corn or high-moisture corn) as more slowly and more rapidly fermenting starch sources, respectively, and relative amount of RDP (+RDP: added protein from soybean meal; --RDP: heat-treated expeller soybean product partially substituted for soybean meal). Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and similar in starch and neutral detergent fiber concentrations. Dry matter (DM) intake was 1 kg greater with +RDP compared with --RDP diets. For ruminal digesta measures made 2 h postfeeding, weight of digesta DM was unaffected by treatment; total kilograms of wet digesta and kilograms of liquid tended to be greater with +RDP than with --RDP, and no effect was observed of STA x RDP. Digesta DM percentage was greater with --RDP than with +RDP. At 2 h postfeeding, ruminal pool sizes (mol) of lactate and total AA were larger and those of total organic acids (OA) and ammonia tended to be larger with +RDP than with --RDP; no effects of STA or STA x RDP were detected. Rumen-degradable protein effects on lactate and OA pool sizes may be due to a protein-mediated increase in fermentation rate of carbohydrate. Organic acid concentrations at 2 h postfeeding did not show the same response pattern or significance as the pool size data; high-moisture corn tended to be greater than dry ground corn and no effect was observed for RDP or STA x RDP. Concentration and pool size for OA were more weakly correlated [coefficient of determination (R²) = 0.66] than was the case for other ruminal analytes (R² >0.80). Organic acid pool size and kilograms of digesta liquid were strongly correlated (R² = 0.79), whereas concentration and kilograms of liquid were much less so (R² = 0.21). The correlation of OA moles with kilograms of liquid likely relates to the homeostatic mechanism of water flux across the rumen wall to reduce the osmotic gradient with blood as intraruminal moles of solute change. This action compresses the range of ruminal OA concentrations. With kilograms of ruminal liquid differing across individual measurements, the ruminal OA concentration data are not on the equivalent basis required to be reliably useful for assessing the effect of treatments. Further evaluation of protein effects on carbohydrate fermentation and of methods that allow accurate comparison of treatments for their effect on ruminal OA production are warranted.

AB  - Abstract: A temperature-sensitive shuttle vector, pBB80C, was utilized to generate in-frame deletion mutants of the leukotoxin structural gene (lktA) of Mannheimia haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12. Culture supernatants from the mutants contained a truncated protein with an approximate molecular weight of 66 kDa which was reactive to anti-leukotoxin monoclonal antibody. No protein reactive to anti-LktA monoclonal antibody was detected at the molecular weight 100–105 kDa of native LktA. Sheep and goats vaccinated intramuscularly with a mixture of serotypes 5 and 6 mutants were resistant to virulent challenge with a mixture of the wild-type parent strains. These vaccinates responded serologically to both vaccine serotypes and exhibited markedly-reduced lung lesion volume and pulmonary infectious load compared to control animals. Control animals yielded a mixture of serotypes from lung lobes, but the proportion even within an individual animal varied widely from 95% serotype 5–95% serotype 6. Cultures recovered from liver were homogeneous, but two animals yielded serotype 5 and the other two yielded serotype 6 in pure culture. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Trichothecenes, a major class of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium, Myrothecium, and Stachybotrys species, are toxic to both plants and mammals. Simple trichothecenes, including type A (e.g., T-2 toxin) and type B (e.g., deoxynivalenol), are generally less toxic than macrocyclic trichothecenes. We sought to determine if simple trichothecenes are a potential source of candidates for development as bioherbicides, which require high phytotoxicity and low mammalian toxicity. We examined 28 simple trichothecenes in vitro for phytotoxicity using a small aquatic plant, Lemna pausicostata, and for mammalian toxicity using four cultured mammalian cell lines. Several structure–activity relationships were identified, including the following two, which may be relevant to bioherbicide development: peracetylation of type B trichothecenes and de-epoxidation of type A trichothecenes both substantially reduced mammalian toxicity with little effect on phytotoxicity. It was concluded that simple trichothecenes possessing strong phytotoxicity and minimal mammalian toxicity in vitro can be identified. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The potentially devastating impacts of climate change on biodiversity and food security, together with the growing world population, means taking action to conserve crop wild relative (CWR) diversity is no longer an option—it is an urgent priority. CWR are species closely related to crops, including their progenitors, which have potential to contribute traits for crop improvement. However, their utilisation is hampered by a lack of systematic conservation which in turn is due to a lack of clarity over their identity. We used gene pool and taxon group concepts to estimate CWR relatedness for 173 priority crops to create the Harlan and de Wet inventory of globally important CWR taxa. Further taxa more remotely related to crops were added if they have historically been found to have useful traits for crop improvement. The inventory contains 1667 taxa, divided between 37 families, 108 genera, 1392 species and 299 sub-specific taxa. The region with the highest number of priority CWR is western Asia with 262 taxa, followed by China with 222 and southeastern Europe with 181. Within the primary gene pool, 242 taxa were found to be under-represented in ex situ collections and the countries identified as the highest priority for further germplasm collection are China, Mexico and Brazil. The inventory database is web-enabled (http://www.cwrdiversity.org/checklist/) and can be used to facilitate in situ and ex situ conservation planning at global, regional and national levels.

AB  - Hollow, metal-lined capillary waveguides have recently been utilized in spontaneous gas-Raman spectroscopy to improve signal strength and response time. The hollow waveguide is used to contain the sample gases, efficiently propagate a pump beam, and efficiently collect Raman scattering from those gases. Transmission losses in the waveguide may be reduced by using an azimuthally polarized pump beam instead of a linearly or radially polarized pump. This will lead to improved Raman signal strength, accuracy, and response time in waveguide-based Raman gas-composition sensors. A linearly polarized laser beam is azimuthally polarized using passive components including a spiral phase plate and an azimuthal-type linear analyzer element. Half-wave plates are then used to switch between the azimuthally polarized beam and the radially polarized beam with no change in input pump power. The collected Raman signal strength and laser throughput are improved when the azimuthally polarized pump is used. Optimization of the hollow waveguide Raman gas sensor is discussed with respect to incident pump polarization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In October 2012, a group of scientists met at the 10th Meeting of the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) in Cork, Ireland to discuss issues surrounding prebiotics and their development. This article summarises outputs from the meeting. Various prebiotic definitions were discussed and how the concept has evolved from targeting the colonic microbiome, through to the entire gastrointestinal tract and finally the ISAPP definition, which specifies fermentation as a key criterion. Structure and function relationships are becoming clearer with effects upon microbial diversity, determinations of selectivity and enhanced biological activity being major outcomes. Immune modulation and metal chelation were further facets. Biomass can be a useful, and economic, means of generating new prebiotics. Pectic oligomers from citrus are model examples. Testing aspects range from in vitro batch culture fermenters to multiple stage models, immobilized systems, animal, cellular studies and human trials. Analytical processes around microbiota characterization and functionality were compared. Human studies were seen as the definitive outcome, including 13C labeling of key interventions. For extra intestinal effects, atopic disease, respiratory infections, vaginal issues, oral disease, adiposity, liver damage and skin infections are all feasible. The general outcome was that microbiota modulation was the key mechanism that linked these interactions. In pet food applications, the market potential for prebiotics is huge. Health targets are similar to those of humans. Issues include monomeric composition, chain length, linkages, branching, microbiota beyond bifidobacteria, metabolic Junction, mechanisms of health effects. Molecular biology has unraveled some of the explanations for prebiotic influences e.g. gene clusters to show transporters, regulators, permeases, hydrolases, lacS. In Lactobacillus ruminis, fermentation studies have been aligned to genome annotations, showing an energy efficient and rapid transport of GOS. In bifidobacteria, functional genome analyses have demonstrated uptake of trisaccharides. Questions relating to patients were then raised. For example, are prebiotics related to disease treatment or health maintenance? If a prebiotic does not change the microbiota, then how does it operate? Case study trials in Inflammatory Bowel Disease were presented on patient access to prebiotics and information. These showed that their knowledge of prebiotics was poor, compared to probiotics. The group then discussed the next generation of prebiotics (e.g. anti-adhesive activities). The comparator was Human Milk Oligosaccharides, which both reduce adherence of pathogens and act as prebiotics. Studies with galactooligosacchardes (GOS) have used pyrosequencing to demonstrate varying species level effects. This has relevance for infant formulae. Prebiotic aspects of whole foods and their complexity was covered. Trials were described where cross feeding and co-metabolism had been investigated. Suggestions on other prebiotic influences, aside from bifidobacteria, were made and included metagenomics, metabonomics, gene expression, mRNA global sequencing, bile deconjugation, enzyme profiles, lipids, phenolics. The discussion suggested how prebiotics could move forward with a wider expansion of the concept, target populations, expanded microorganisms, health benefits, application of new technologies and improved consumer understanding being the main goals.

AB  - The ID Screen Influenza H5 Antibody Competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was tested for the detection of antibodies to the H5 subtype of influenza A ( IA) virus in waterfowl. Assays were conducted with sera obtained from Mallards ( Anas platyrhynchos) and Pekin Ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos domestica), experimentally infected with eight low pathogenic ( LP) and nine highly pathogenic ( HP) H5N1 IA viral strains. Three incubation periods (1, 4 and 18 hours) and two dilutions (1:2 and 1:5) were tested. All serum samples from LP H5-infected birds tested positive; however, improved detection rates were observed for viruses belonging to the HP H5N1 clade 2.2.1 as compared with those belonging to clade 2.1.3.

AB  - Two studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between circulating levels of haptoglobin and α-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) and growth in neonatal pigs. Circulating serum AGP, but not haptoglobin, was higher (P < 0.001) in newborn runts than average-sized littermates. At 1 and 3 weeks, AGP and haptoglobin were similar among control and runt piglets. To determine the possible association between AGP and growth rate, blood was collected between the first and second day after birth in piglets from 10 average litters. Birthweight was positively correlated with growth rate through 21 days (linear regression correlation coefficient (CC), 0.43 (P < 0.006); 0.299 (P < 0.003) in males and females, respectively). Plasma AGP at birth was negatively correlated with growth (CC, -0.429 (P < 0.006); -0.351 (P < 0.01) in males and females, respectively). When AGP was calculated on a per kg birthweight basis, the CC with growth improved by 25 and 34% in males and females, respectively, compared with birthweight alone. Haptoglobin in blood was not correlated with growth. These data suggest that AGP at birth is reflective of growth conditions in utero or fetal maturation and may serve as an early predictive biomarker for pre-weaning growth rate. Piglets with low initial growth rates remain poor growth performers throughout the post-weaning period, which increases herd variability and reduces overall production efficiency. Blood was collected at birth and higher levels of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, the predominant protein in fetal piglet plasma, were associated with runts and poor growing pigs. Availability of a biomarker that is reflective of in utero development or fetal maturation may serve as an early predictor of overall growth potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The rheological properties of modified waxy starch and waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymers prepared by reactive extrusion were investigated. Both materials can absorb huge amount of water and form gels. The modified waxy starch and waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels all exhibited viscoelastic solid properties. The waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels with the concentration ≤10% showed weaker viscoelastic behaviors than those of the same concentrations of modified waxy starch gels. However, at concentration ≥11.25%, the waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels displayed much stronger viscoelastic properties than those of the same concentrations of modified waxy starch gels. The analysis of modulus and concentration dependence and stress relaxation measurements indicated that both modified waxy starch and waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels were physical gels meaning the cross-linkers between the molecules were physical junctions. The nonlinear steady shearing rheological properties studies indicated that both modified waxy starch and waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels exhibited shear thinning behavior, which can be well fitted with the power law constitutive equation. The function and behavior of the modified waxy starch and waxy starch-polyacrylamide graft copolymer gels suggest that these starch-based biomaterials should be potential candidates for applications in cosmetic gels, wound skin care materials, and agricultural products.

AB  - ObjectiveTo examine how increasing vegetable consumption from foods prepared at home (FAH) and foods prepared away from home (FAFH) would impact energy, dietary fibre and Na (sodium) intakes in the USA.DesignUsing data from the 2003–2004 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, dietary intake data from two separate days were fitted with a first-difference (fixed-effects) model. Vegetables consumed from all sources, including mixed foods and juices, were disaggregated and expressed as amounts equivalent to one cup of whole vegetables.SettingNationally representative sample of the US population.SubjectsIndividuals aged 2 years and above reporting 2 d of dietary intake data in 2003–2004 (n 7647).ResultsHolding constant the total amount of food consumed, consuming an additional cup of tomatoes and potatoes from FAFH increases energy intake by respectively 1522 and 665 kJ, as compared with 246 and 367 kJ for FAH. Each additional cup of tomatoes from FAH is associated with an additional 179 mg of Na, compared with 113 mg for FAFH. All vegetable consumption increases fibre intake, except for potatoes and tomatoes from FAFH. Dark green and orange vegetables from FAH add the largest amount of fibre (1·38 g/cup).ConclusionsBecause US consumers frequently consume vegetables as part of mixed foods that add energy and Na, heavier consumption of vegetables as currently prepared raises the energy content and Na density of the overall diet. This is particularly true for vegetables prepared away from home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A biphenyl based epoxy monomer, 4,4′-diglycidyloxybiphenyl (BP), was synthesized and cured with a tetra-functional amine, sulfanilamide (SAA), to obtain a liquid crystalline epoxy network. The curing behavior of BP with SAA was studied using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, and parallel plate rheology. Macroscopic orientation of the liquid crystalline epoxy resins (LCERs) was achieved by curing in a high strength magnetic field, and quantified by an orientation parameter determined with wide angle X-ray diffraction. The effects of orientation on the glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, and dynamic mechanical properties of the LCERs were investigated. The results reveal that the formation of the liquid crystalline phase has a dramatic influence on the curing reaction, leading to a decrease in viscosity of the reacting system. Oriented LCERs exhibit anisotropic thermal expansion behavior and significant improvements of thermomechanical properties. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Spectroscopy has proven to be an efficient tool for measuring the properties of meat. In this article, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) techniques are used to determine the moisture content in cooked chicken breast over the VIS/NIR (400-1,000 nm) spectral range. Moisture measurements were performed using an oven drying method. A partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was developed to extract a relationship between the HSI spectra and the moisture content. In the full wavelength range, the PLSR model possessed a maximum R2p of 0.90 and an SEP of 0.74%. For the NIR range, the PLSR model yielded an R2p of 0.94 and an SEP of 0.71%. The majority of the absorption peaks occurred around 760 and 970 nm, representing the water content in the samples. Finally, PLSR images were constructed to visualize the dehydration and water distribution within different sample regions. The high correlation coefficient and low prediction error from the PLSR analysis validates that HSI is an effective tool for visualizing the chemical properties of meat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Fungal biodiversity is one of the most important contributors to the occurrence and severity of mycotoxin contamination of crop plants. Phenotypic and metabolic plasticity has enabled mycotoxigenic fungi to colonize a broad range of agriculturally important crops and to adapt to a range of environmental conditions. New mycotoxin-commodity combinations provide evidence for the ability of fungi to adapt to changing conditions and the emergence of genotypes that confer enhanced aggressiveness toward plants and/or altered mycotoxin production profiles. Perhaps the most important contributor to qualitative differences in mycotoxin production among fungi is variation in mycotoxin biosynthetic genes. Molecular genetic and biochemical analyses of toxigenic fungi have elucidated specific differences in biosynthetic genes that are responsible for intra- and inter-specific differences in mycotoxin production. For Aspergillus and Fusarium, the mycotoxigenic genera of greatest concern, variation in biosynthetic genes responsible for production of individual families of mycotoxins appears to be the result of evolutionary adaptation. Examples of such variation have been reported for: a) aflatoxin biosynthetic genes in Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus; b) trichothecene biosynthetic genes within and among Fusarium species; and c) fumonisin biosynthetic genes in Aspergillus and Fusarium species. Understanding the variation in these biosynthetic genes and the basis for variation in mycotoxin production is important for accurate assessment of the risks that fungi pose to food safety and for prevention of mycotoxin contamination of crops in the field and in storage.

AB  - Abstract: This work discusses the changes in the structural, magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of Co x Fe3−x O4 (x=1.0 to 2.0) due to variations in cation concentration and the presence of a secondary Co1−y Fe y O phase. Non-stoichiometric cobalt ferrite samples used in this study were prepared via the ceramic method. Samples with x>1 possess two phases; a secondary rock salt Co1−y Fe y O phase and a spinel cobalt ferrite phase with varying cation concentration. The sample x=1 has only the spinel phase. Increase in Co concentration resulted in a decrease in magnetization but an increase in coercivity. Magnetostrictive properties and magnetocrystalline anisotropy were also affected by deviation from stoichiometric composition. Results are discussed on the basis of the coexistence of Co3+, Co2+ and Fe3+ in the spinel lattice of the samples and the influence of the secondary Co1−y Fe y O phase on the overall properties.

AB  - Many perennial nursery fields and replanted orchards and vineyards in California are treated with preplant soil fumigants to control soilborne pests. In annual crops, such as strawberry, covering fumigated fields with totally impermeable film (TIF) has shown promise in controlling emissions and improving fumigant distribution in soil. The objective of this research was to optimize the use of TIF for perennial crops via three field trials. TIF reduced peak emission flux and cumulative emissions by > 90% relative to polyethylene tarp during a 2-week covering period. After the TIF was cut, emissions were greatly reduced compared to when tarps were cut after 6 days. TIF maintained higher fumigant concentrations under tarp and in the soil than polyethylene film. The results indicate that TIF can increase fumigation efficiency for perennial crop growers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi that contains many agronomically important plant pathogens, mycotoxin producers, and opportunistic human pathogens. Comparative analyses have revealed that the Fusarium genome is compartmentalized into regions responsible for primary metabolism and reproduction (core genome), and pathogen virulence, host specialization, and possibly other functions (adaptive genome). Genes involved in virulence and host specialization are located on pathogenicity chromosomes within strains pathogenic to tomato ( Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) and pea ( Fusarium ' solani' f. sp. pisi). The experimental transfer of pathogenicity chromosomes from F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici into a nonpathogen transformed the latter into a tomato pathogen. Thus, horizontal transfer may explain the polyphyletic origins of host specificity within the genus. Additional genome-scale comparative and functional studies are needed to elucidate the evolution and diversity of pathogenicity mechanisms, which may help inform novel disease management strategies against fusarial pathogens.

AB  - To guide improved properties coincident with reduction of critical materials in permanent magnets, we investigate via density functional theory (DFT) the intrinsic magnetic properties of a promising system, R(Fe1-xCox)11TiZ with R=Y, Ce and interstitial doping (Z=H,C,N). The magnetization M, Curie temperature TC, and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy K calculated in local density approximation to DFT agree well with measurements. Site-resolved contributions to K reveal that all three Fe sublattices promote uniaxial anisotropy in YFe11Ti, while competing anisotropy contributions exist in YCo11Ti. As observed in experiments on R(Fe1-xCox)11Ti, we find a complex nonmonotonic dependence of K on Co content and show that anisotropy variations are a collective effect of MAE contributions from all sites and cannot be solely explained by preferential site occupancy. With interstitial doping, calculated TC enhancements are in the sequence of N>C>H, with volume and chemical effects contributing to the enhancement. The uniaxial anisotropy of R(Fe1-xCox)11TiZ generally decreases with C and N; although, for R=Ce, C doping is found to greatly enhance it for a small range of 0.7<x<0.9. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Numerous endocrine cell subtypes exist within the intestinal mucosa and produce peptides contributing to the regulation of critical physiological processes including appetite, energy metabolism, gut function, and gut health. The mechanisms of action and the extent of the physiological effects of these enteric peptides are only beginning to be uncovered. One peptide in particular, glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) produced by enteroendocrine L cells, has been fairly well characterized in rodent and swine models in terms of its ability to improve nutrient absorption and healing of the gut after injury. In fact, a long-acting form of GLP-2 recently has been approved for the management and treatment of human conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome. However, novel functions of GLP-2 within the gut continue to be demonstrated, including its beneficial effects on intestinal barrier function and reducing intestinal inflammation. As knowledge continues to grow about GLP-2's effects on the gut and its mechanisms of release, the potential to use GLP-2 to improve gut function and health of food animals becomes increasingly more apparent. Thus, the purpose of this review is to summarize: (1) the current understanding of GLP-2's functions and mechanisms of action within the gut; (2) novel applications of GLP-2 (or stimulators of its release) to improve general health and production performance of food animals; and (3) recent findings, using dairy calves as a model, that suggest the therapeutic potential of GLP-2 to reduce the pathogenesis of intestinal protozoan infections.

AB  - We study the spatial distribution of the density of states (DOS) at zero bias N(r) in the mixed state of single and multigap superconductors. We provide an analytic expression for N(r) based on deGennes' relationship between DOS and the order parameter that reproduces well scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data in several superconducting materials. In the single gap superconductor ß-Bi2Pd, we find that N(r) is governed by a length scale ξH=√ϕ0/2πH, which decreases in rising fields. The vortex core size C, defined via the slope of the order parameter at the vortex center, C∝(dΔ/dr|r->0)-1, differs from ξH by a material dependent numerical factor. The new data on the tunneling conductance and vortex lattice of the 2H-NbSe1.8S0.2 show the in-plane isotropic vortices, suggesting that substitutional scattering removes the in-plane anisotropy found in the two-gap superconductor 2H-NbSe2. We fit the tunneling conductance of 2H-NbSe1.8S0.2 to a two gap model and calculate the vortex core size C for each band. We find that C is field independent and has the same value for both bands. We also analyze the two-band superconductor 2H-NbS2 and find the same result. We conclude that, independently of the magnetic field induced variation of the order parameter values in both bands, the spatial variation of the order parameter close to the vortex core is the same for all bands.

AB  - In this paper, we study the heat transfer in a one-dimensional fully developed flow of granular materials down a heated inclined plane. For the heat flux vector, we use a recently derived constitutive equation that reflects the dependence of the heat flux vector on the temperature gradient, the density gradient, and the velocity gradient in an appropriate frame invariant formulation. We use two different boundary conditions at the inclined surface: a constant temperature boundary condition and an adiabatic condition. A parametric study is performed to examine the effects of the material dimensionless parameters. The derived governing equations are coupled nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically, and the results are shown for the temperature, volume fraction, and velocity profiles.

AB  - Suppression of seed shattering was a key step during crop domestication that we have previously suggested to be convergent among independent cereal lineages. Positional, association, expression, and mutant complementation data all implicate a WRKY transcription factor, SpWRKY, in conferring shattering to a wild sorghum relative. Sorghum propinquum. We hypothesize that SpWRKY functions in a manner analogous to Medicago and Ara-bidopsis homologs that regulate cell wall biosynthesis genes, with low expression toward the end of floral development derepressing downstream cell wall biosynthesis genes to allow deposition of lignin that initiates the abscission zone in the seed-pedicel junction. The recent discovery of a YABBY locus that confers shattering within Sorghum bicolor and other cereals validated our prior hypothesis that some parallel domestication may have been convergent. Ironically, however, the shattering allele of SpWRKY appears to be recently evolved in S. propinquum and illustrates a case in which the genetic control of a trait in a wild relative fails to extrapolate even to closely related crops. Remarkably, the SpWRKY and YABBY loci lie only 300 kb apart and may have appeared to be a single genetic locus in some sorghum populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bracoviruses represent the most complex endogenous viral elements (EVEs) described to date. Nudiviral genes have been hosted within parasitoid wasp genomes since approximately 100 Ma. They play a crucial role in the wasp life cycle as they produce bracovirus particles, which are injected into parasitized lepidopteran hosts during wasp oviposition. Bracovirus particles encapsidate multiple dsDNA circles encoding virulence genes. Their expression in parasitized caterpillars is essential for wasp parasitism success. Here, we report on the genomic organization of the proviral segments (i.e. master sequences used to produce the encapsidated dsDNA circles) present in the Cotesia congregata parasitoid wasp genome. The provirus is composed of a macrolocus, comprising two-thirds of the proviral segments and of seven dispersed loci, each containing one to three segments. Comparative genomic analyses with closely related species gave insights into the evolutionary dynamics of bracovirus genomes. Conserved synteny in the different wasp genomes showed the orthology of the proviral macrolocus across different species. The nudiviral gene odv-e66-like1 is conserved within the macrolocus, suggesting an ancient co-localization of the nudiviral genome and bracovirus proviral segments. By contrast, the evolution of proviral segments within the macrolocus has involved a series of lineage-specific duplications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 125Te nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and spin-lattice relaxation of n- and p-type PbTe, self-doping narrow band-gap semiconductors, have been studied and compared to those of p-type GeTe. Spin-lattice relaxation in GeTe can be fit by one component, while that in both PbTe samples must be fit by at least two components, showing electronically homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials, respectively. For PbTe-based materials, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 increases linearly with carrier concentration. The data for GeTe fall on the same line and allow us to extend this plot to higher concentrations. Long and short T1 components in both PbTe samples reflect "low," ∼1017 cm-3, and "high," ∼1018 cm-3, carrier concentration components. Carrier concentrations in both n- and p-type PbTe samples obtained from the Hall and Seebeck effects generally match the "high" carrier concentration component, and to some extent, ignore the "low" one. This demonstrates that the Hall and Seebeck effects may have a limited ability for the determination of carrier concentration in complex thermoelectric PbTe-based and other multicomponent materials.

AB  - We examined how invasion of tropical riparian forests by an exotic N-fixing tree (Falcataria moluccana) affects organic-matter dynamics in a Hawaiian river by comparing early stages of leaf-litter breakdown between the exotic F. moluccana and native Metrosideros polymorpha trees. We examined early decomposition stages because of low leaf-litter retention rates (<20 d) that result from the flashy nature of tropical Pacific Island streams. Leaf breakdown rates, fungal biomass, and invertebrate abundances were 40, 120, and 30% greater, respectively, for F. moluccana than M. polymorpha leaves. Leaf-litter breakdown was largely a result of stream flow and to a lesser extent fungal colonization. Invertebrates were not an important factor in leaf-litter breakdown. Initial tannin content, leaf C:N, and toughness were important intrinsic factors inhibiting leaf breakdown and fungal colonization. Regression analyses between remaining N content (%) and ash-free dry mass of leaf litter revealed that the early stages of F. moluccana leaf-litter breakdown are a source of N to streams invaded by F. moluccana and contribute a conservatively estimated 2.1 to 5.7% to the available total dissolved N pool. Direct input of F. moluccana leaf litter influences early stages of leaf-litter breakdown in tropical streams with low leaf-litter retention rates. Direct input of leaf litter also contributes somewhat to N inputs, but subsurface flows through N-rich soils of F. moluccana-invaded riparian forests probably are a greater source.

AB  - Land-management agencies need quantitative, statistically rigorous monitoring data, often at large spatial and temporal scales, to support resource-management decisions. Monitoring designs typically must accommodate multiple ecological, logistical, political, and economic objectives and constraints. We present a long-term bioregional monitoring program to assess the status and change in populations of the federally listed candidate frog species, Yosemite toad (Anaxyrus [Bufo] canorus) and mountain yellowlegged frog (.Rana muscosa/sierrae complex), on USDA Forest Service lands in the Sierra Nevada, California. The program takes advantage of advances in survey design and analysis to: 1) collect data at a metapopulation scale (i.e., small basins), 2) provide occupancy data on ≥2 species with overlapping ranges with the same field-monitoring protocols, 3) provide occupancy estimates applicable to the entire range of each species in the study region, 4) incorporate information from historical occupancy records, and 5) link the survey design to an existing survey design. We estimated occupancy assuming imperfect detection by extending existing procedures for maximum likelihood estimation to incorporate the unequal probability of selection used in the survey design. From 2002 to 2009, we estimate that the Yosemite toad used 0.25 ± 0.01 (SE), 0.86 ± 0.04, and 0.86 ± 0.03 of basins over its range, with historical presence, and with presence since 1990, respectively, and the mountain yellow-legged frog used 0.04 ± 0.01, 0.43 ± 0.04, and 0.47 ± 0.04 of basins over its range, with historical presence, and with presence since 1990, respectively. Survey date and snow pack affected detection of the Yosemite toad but not of the mountain yellow-legged frog. Monitoring costs were reduced by using a complex survey design with panels that required generalizing existing methods for estimating occupancy under imperfect detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Salmonella contamination of tomatoes is a recurrent food safety concern. Irradiation inactivates pathogens on fresh and fresh cut produce. However, the interaction of time in refrigerated storage and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) may influence the response of pathogens to irradiation. Roma tomatoes were sliced and inoculated with a cocktail of outbreak strains of Salmonella. The inoculated tomatoes were packaged under one of four atmospheres: air, 10/90 O2/N2, 5/95 O2/N2 or 100% N2. The packages were kept in refrigerated storage (10°C) for various times after inoculation, to simulate the potential time delay between packaging and irradiation treatment. Tomatoes were irradiated immediately (0h), or after 24 or 48h in storage. The surviving populations were recovered and enumerated. Irradiation effectively reduced Salmonella at all times. Estimated D 10 value (the dose necessary for 1log reduction) varied significantly among the combinations of time and MAP, ranging from 0.165–0.335kGy. Tomatoes packaged in air, irradiated at 0h, had a D 10 of 0.165kGy; all other combinations showed significantly higher D 10. Reduced oxygen generally resulted in higher D 10 values, with the highest D 10 of 0.335kGy obtained for 100% N2, 0h. Time in storage pre-irradiation tended to increase D 10 for air and 5/95 O2/N2, but not for 10/90 O2/N2 or 100% N2. These results suggest that time required for refrigerated holding of processed Roma tomatoes or shipment to an off-site irradiation service provider may alter the efficacy of irradiation if reduced oxygen MAP is used.

AB  - Sophorolipids are microbial glycolipids that possess surfactant-type properties. Sophorolipids have been tested successfully in a number of potential industrial and niche applications but are generally acknowledged to require higher production costs when compared to petroleum-based surfactants. The objective of this study was to develop a process economic model for the fermentative synthesis of sophorolipids using contemporary process simulation software and current reagent, equipment, and supply costs, following current production practices. Glucose (Glc) and either high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) or oleic acid (OA) were used as feedstocks and the annual production capacity of the plant was set at 90.7 million kg/year with continuous operation of 24 h a day for 330 days per year. Major equipment costs were calculated to be US$17.1 million but other considerations such as capital, labor, material and utilities costs were also included. The single greatest contributor to the overall production/operating cost was raw materials, which accounted for 89 and 87 % of the total estimated production expenditures for the HOSO and OA-based fermentations, respectively. Based on this model and yields of 100 g/L, the cost of large-scale sophorolipid synthesis via fermentation from Glc:HOSO was calculated to be US$2.95/kg ($1.34/lb) and from Glc:OA to be US$2.54/kg ($1.15/lb). The model is flexible and can be adjusted to reflect changes in capital, production and feedstock costs as well as changes in the type of feedstocks used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report Fourier transform infrared spectro-microtomography, a nondestructive three-dimensional imaging approach that reveals the distribution of distinctive chemical compositions throughout an intact biological or materials sample. The method combines mid-infrared absorption contrast with computed tomographic data acquisition and reconstruction to enhance chemical and morphological localization by determining a complete infrared spectrum for every voxel (millions of spectra determined per sample).

AB  - The objective of this study is to empirically compare alternative meta-analytic methods for combining dose-response data from epidemiological studies. We identified meta-analyses of epidemiological studies that analyzed the association between a single nutrient and a dichotomous outcome. For each topic, we performed meta-analyses of odds ratios with five approaches: using extreme exposure categories only, two-step approach (first calculated study-specific effects then combined across studies) using unadjusted data, two-step approach using adjusted data, one-step approach (analyzed all data in one regression model) using unadjusted data, and one-step approach using adjusted data. Meta-analyses including only extreme exposure categories gave consistently bigger effects and wider confidence intervals than meta-analyses using all data. Confidence intervals of effect sizes were generally wider in meta-analyses with the two-step approach, compared with the one-step approach. Meta-analyses using unadjusted data and adjusted data differed, with no consistent pattern of discordance in direction, statistical significance, or magnitude of effect. We discourage using meta-analysis approaches that only use data from extreme exposure categories. The one-step approach generally has higher precision than the two-step approach. Sensitivity analysis comparing results between meta-analyses of adjusted and unadjusted data may be useful in indicating the presence of confounding. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB  - The US dairy industry has realized tremendous improvements in efficiencies and milk production since the 1940s. During this time, farm and total cow numbers have decreased and average herd size has increased. This intensification, combined with the shift to a largely urban public, has resulted in increased scrutiny of the dairy industry by social and environmental movements and increased concern regarding the dairy industry's sustainability. In response to these concerns, a group of scientists specializing in animal welfare, nutrient management, greenhouse gas emissions, animal science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, microbiology, and economics undertook a critical review of the US dairy industry. Although the US dairy system was identified as having significant strengths, the consensus was that the current structure of the industry lacks the resilience to adapt to changing social and environmental landscapes. We identified several factors affecting the sustainability of the US dairy industry, including climate change, rapid scientific and technological innovation, globalization, integration of societal values, and multidisciplinary research initiatives. Specific challenges include the westward migration of milk production in the United States (which is at odds with projected reductions in precipitation and associated limitations in water availability for cattle and crops), and the growing divide between industry practices and public perceptions, resulting in less public trust. Addressing these issues will require improved alignment between industry practices and societal values, based upon leadership from within the industry and sustained engagement with other interested participants, including researchers, consumers, and the general public.

AB  - The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States has increased attention to the importance of balancing calories in and out to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Numerous policy and educational efforts are aimed at helping consumers achieve calorie balance. Still, a calorie disconnect exists as consumers remain largely unaware of personal calorie needs or the relationship between calories and weight management. A key first step in addressing consumers' calorie confusion may be to familiarize them with their "dally calorie number," or the amount of calories that are needed to maintain weight, and how that daily calorie number Is impacted by physical activity. The need to individualize calorie balance communications is essential, as each person has a unique weight management profile that will be impacted by many factors, including age, physical activity, and desired weight outcome. Whereas some Americans would like to maintain weight and prevent further weight gain, many others would likely benefit from tipping the calorie balance equation to achieve successful weight loss. To effectively communicate calorie balance, it is imperative to examine consumer response to calorie balance communications. Some messages or terminology, although widely accepted by nutrition and health professionals, may not be understood by consumers. The social-ecological model is a useful framework to further examine factors that impact behavior change related to food and physical activity decisions, providing opportunities for future research and initiatives aimed at helping consumers achieve calorie balance.

AB  - Both high-fat and low-fat ground beef (percent lean:fat = ca. 70:30 and 93:7, respectively) were inoculated with a 6-strain cocktail of non-O157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) or a five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 7.0 log CFU/g). Patties were pressed (ca. 2.54 cm thick, ca. 300 g each) and then refrigerated (4°C, 18 to 24 h), or frozen (- 18°C, 3 weeks), or frozen (-18°C, 3 weeks) and then thawed (4°C for 18 h or21°C for 10 h) before being cooked on commercial gas or electric grills to internal temperatures of 60 to 76.6°C. For E. coli O157:H7, regardless of grill type or fat level, cooking refrigerated patties to 71.1 or 76.6°C decreased E. coli O157:H7 numbers from an initial level of ca. 7.0 log CFU/g to a final level of ≤ 1.0 log CFU/g, whereas decreases to ca. 1.1 to 3.1 log CFU/g were observed when refrigerated patties were cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 71.1 or 76.6°C, E. coli O157:H7 numbers decreased to ca. 1.7 or ≤0.7 log CFU/g. Likewise, pathogen numbers decreased to ca. 0.7 to 3.7 log CFU/g in patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For STEC, regardless of grill type or fat level, cooking refrigerated patties to 71.1 or 76.6°C decreased pathogen numbers from ca. 7.0 to ≤ 0.7 log CFU/g, whereas decreases to ca. 0.7 to 3.6 log CFU/g were observed when refrigerated patties were cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. For patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 71.1 or 76.6°C, STEC numbers decreased to a final level of ca. 1.5 to ≤0.7 log CFU/g. Likewise, pathogen numbers decreased from ca. 7.0 to ca. 0.8 to 4.3 log CFU/g in patties that were frozen or freeze-thawed and cooked to 60.0 or 65.5°C. Thus, cooking ground beef patties that were refrigerated, frozen, or freeze-thawed to internal temperatures of 71.1 and 76.6 C was effective for eliminating ca. 5.1 to 7.0 log CFU of E. coli O157:H7 and STEC per g.

AB  - Abstract: The prevalence of Giardia duodenalis assemblages in horses is poorly known. The present study examined feces from 195 horses, 1 month–17 years of age, in 4 locations in Colombia. Prevalence of infection was determined by PCR and all positives were sequenced to determine the genotypes. Thirty four (17.4%) horses were found positive. This is the first report of G. duodenalis in horses from Colombia. Prevalence in female and male horses was 18.9% and 15.1%, respectively. Prevalence in horses <1 year of age and horses >1 year of age was 21.1% and 15.1%, respectively. Molecular characterization using the beta giardin (bg), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh), triose phosphate isomerase (tpi), and small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssurRNA) genes identified G. duodenalis Assemblages A and B, the assemblages regarded as zoonotic.

AB  - Summary: Ribosomal peptides are produced through the posttranslational modification of short precursor peptides. Cyanobactins are a growing family of cyclic ribosomal peptides produced by cyanobacteria. However, a broad systematic survey of the genetic capacity to produce cyanobactins is lacking. Here we report the identification of 31 cyanobactin gene clusters from 126 genomes of cyanobacteria. Genome mining suggested a complex evolutionary history defined by horizontal gene transfer and rapid diversification of precursor genes. Extensive chemical analyses demonstrated that some cyanobacteria produce short linear cyanobactins with a chain length ranging from three to five amino acids. The linear peptides were N-prenylated and O-methylated on the N and C termini, respectively, and named aeruginosamide and viridisamide. These findings broaden the structural diversity of the cyanobactin family to include highly modified linear peptides with rare posttranslational modifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A Carica papaya pectin methylesterase (CpL-PME) present in a commercial papain preparation was used to modify the amount and distribution of anionic charge in a population of a model pectic homogalacturonan (HG) at pH 4.5 and pH 7.5. Introduced negatively charged demethylesterified blocks (DMB) were excised as oligomers with limited endo-polygalacturonase (EPG) digestion, and then separated and quantified by high performance anion exchange chromatography. Exhaustive EPG digestion was also performed and the concentrations of mono-, di- and tri-galacturonic acid (GalA) produced were estimated. The CpL-PME mode of action was modeled while the HG population's nanostructure and the resulting functionality of the modified pectin were characterized. The results indicated that average DMB size and number of these “average” blocks per molecule increased as the overall degree of methylesterification (DM) decreased by CpL-PME treatment (P < 0.05). Average DMB size differed depending on the reaction pH at each DM. Absolute degree of blockiness (DBabs) increased as DM decreased and demonstrated a linear relationship with the DM at both reaction pH values. Significant positive correlations between DBabs and average DMB size were observed for both pH series (P < 0.05). The enzyme mode of action, modeled in silico, demonstrates a processive multiple attack mechanism. Functionally, the storage modulus of ionotropic gels formed from the processed substrates increased as DM decreased, and as DBabs and average DMB size increased with highly significant correlations (P < 0.001). These results indicate it is feasible to engineer pectin nanostructure and functionality with CpL-PME. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The objective of this study was to use next-generation sequencing technologies to dissect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for southern root-knot nematode (RKN) resistance into individual genes in soybean. Two hundred forty-six recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between Magellan (susceptible) and PI 438489B (resistant) were evaluated for RKN resistance in a greenhouse and sequenced at an average of 0.19× depth. A sequence analysis pipeline was developed to identify and validate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), infer the parental source of each SNP allele, and genotype the RIL population. Based on 109,273 phased SNPs, recombination events in RILs were identified, and a total of 3,509 bins and 3,489 recombination intervals were defined. About 50.8% of bins contain 1 to 10 genes. A linkage map was subsequently constructed by using bins as molecular markers. Three QTL for RKN resistance were identified. Of these, one major QTL was mapped to bin 10 of chromosome 10, which is 29.7 kb in size and harbors three true genes and two pseudogenes. Based on sequence variations and gene-expression analysis, the candidate genes underlying the major QTL for RKN resistance were pinpointed. They are Glyma10g02150 and Glyma10g02160, encoding a pectin methylesterase inhibitor and a pectin methylesterase inhibitor -pectin methylesterase, respectively. This QTL mapping approach not only combines SNP discovery, SNP validation, and genotyping, but also solves the issues caused by genome duplication and repetitive sequences. Hence, it can be widely used in crops with a reference genome to enhance QTL mapping accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A posteriori and modified granddaughter designs were applied to determine haplotype effects for Holstein bulls and cows with BovineSNP50 [-50,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP); Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA] genotypes. The a posteriori granddaughter design was applied to 52 sire families, each with ≥100 genotyped sons with genetic evaluations based on progeny tests. For 33 traits (milk, fat, and protein yields; fat and protein percentages; somatic cell score; productive life; daughter pregnancy rate; heifer and cow conception rates; service-sire and daughter calving ease; servicesire and daughter stillbirth; 18 conformation traits; and net merit), the analysis was applied to the autosomal segment with the SNP with the greatest effect in the genomic evaluation of each trait. All traits except 2 had a within-family haplotype effect. The same design was applied with the genetic evaluations of sons corrected for SNP effects associated with chromosomes besides the one under analysis. The number of within-family contrasts was 166 without adjustment and 211 with adjustment. Of the 52 bulls analyzed, 36 had BovineHD (high density; Illumina Inc.) genotypes that were used to test for concordance between sire quantitative trait loci and SNP genotypes; complete concordance was not obtained for any effects. Of the 31 traits with effects from the a posteriori granddaughter design, 21 were analyzed with the modified granddaughter design. Only sires with a contrast for the a posteriori granddaughter design and ≥200 granddaughters with a record usable for genetic evaluation were included. Calving traits could not be analyzed because individual cow evaluations were not computed. Eight traits had within-family haplotype effects. With respect to milk and fat yields and fat percentage, the results on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 14 corresponded to the hypothesis that a missense mutation in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene is the main causative mutation, although other polymorphisms in that gene also modify fat yield and percentage. The positive allele for protein concentration was less frequent, which indicated that selection on that locus could be effective. Although the results can be used to determine causative polymorphisms for most of the analyzed traits, complete DNA sequencing of most of the analyzed sires probably will be required.

AB  - Impaired visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several lifestyle-related disease states, with diminished expression of several WAT mitochondrial genes reported in both insulin-resistant humans and rodents. We have used rat models selectively bred for low- (LCR) or high-intrinsic running capacity (HCR) that present simultaneously with divergent metabolic phenotypes to test the hypothesis that oxidative enzyme expression is reduced in epididymal WAT from LCR animals. Based on this assumption, we further hypothesized that short-term exercise training (6 wk of treadmill running) would ameliorate this deficit. Approximately 22-wk-old rats (generation 22) were studied. In untrained rats, the abundance of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I-V, citrate synthase (CS), and PGC-1 was similar for both phenotypes, although CS activity was greater than 50% in HCR (P = 0.09). Exercise training increased CS activity in both phenotypes but did not alter mitochondrial protein content. Training increased the expression and phosphorylation of proteins with roles in β-adrenergic signaling, including β3-adrenergic receptor (16% increase in LCR; P < 0.05), NOR1 (24% decrease in LCR, 21% decrease in HCR; P < 0.05), phospho-ATGL (25% increase in HCR; P < 0.05), perilipin (25% increase in HCR; P < 0.05), CGI-58 (15% increase in LCR; P < 0.05), and GLUT4 (16% increase in HCR; P < 0.0001). A training effect was also observed for phospho-p38 MAPK (12% decrease in LCR, 20% decrease in HCR; P < 0.05) and phospho-JNK (29% increase in LCR, 20% increase in HCR; P < 0.05). We conclude that in the LCR-HCR model system, mitochondrial protein expression in WAT is not affected by intrinsic running capacity or exercise training. However, training does induce alterations in the activity and expression of several proteins that are essential to the intracellular regulation of WAT metabolism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Introduction: Terrestrial top-predators are expected to regulate and stabilise food webs through their consumptive and non-consumptive effects on sympatric mesopredators and prey. The lethal control of top-predators has therefore been predicted to inhibit top-predator function, generate the release of mesopredators and indirectly harm native fauna through trophic cascade effects. Understanding the outcomes of lethal control on interactions within terrestrial predator guilds is important for zoologists, conservation biologists and wildlife managers. However, few studies have the capacity to test these predictions experimentally, and no such studies have previously been conducted on the eclectic suite of native and exotic, mammalian and reptilian taxa we simultaneously assess. We conducted a series of landscape-scale, multi-year, manipulative experiments at nine sites spanning five ecosystem types across the Australian continental rangelands to investigate the responses of mesopredators (red foxes, feral cats and goannas) to contemporary poison-baiting programs intended to control top-predators (dingoes) for livestock protection. Result: Short-term behavioural releases of mesopredators were not apparent, and in almost all cases, the three mesopredators we assessed were in similar or greater abundance in unbaited areas relative to baited areas, with mesopredator abundance trends typically either uncorrelated or positively correlated with top-predator abundance trends over time. The exotic mammals and native reptile we assessed responded similarly (poorly) to top-predator population manipulation. This is because poison baits were taken by multiple target and non-target predators and top-predator populations quickly recovered to pre-control levels, thus reducing the overall impact of baiting on top-predators and averting a trophic cascade. Conclusions: These results are in accord with other predator manipulation experiments conducted worldwide, and suggest that Australian populations of native prey fauna at lower trophic levels are unlikely to be negatively affected by contemporary dingo control practices through the release of mesopredators. We conclude that contemporary lethal control practices used on some top-predator populations do not produce the conditions required to generate positive responses from mesopredators. Functional relationships between sympatric terrestrial predators may not be altered by exposure to spatially and temporally sporadic application of non-selective lethal control.

AB  - Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability regulate plant productivity throughout the terrestrial biosphere, influencing the patterns and magnitude of net primary production (NPP) by land plants both now and into the future. These nutrients enter ecosystems via geologic and atmospheric pathways and are recycled to varying degrees through the plant-soil-microbe system via organic matter decay processes. However, the proportion of global NPP that can be attributed to new nutrient inputs versus recycled nutrients is unresolved, as are the large-scale patterns of variation across terrestrial ecosystems. Here) we combined satellite imagery, bio-geochemical modeling, and empirical observations to identify previously unrecognized patterns of new versus recycled nutrient (N and P) productivity on land. Our analysis points to tropical forests as a hotspot of new NPP fueled by new N (accounting for 45% of total new NPP globally), much higher than previous estimates from temperate and high-latitude regions. The large fraction of tropical forest NPP resulting from new N is driven by the high capacity for N fixation, although this varies considerably within this diverse biome; N deposition explains a much smaller proportion of new NPP. By contrast, the contribution of new N to primary productivity is lower outside the tropics, and worldwide, new P inputs are uniformly low relative to plant demands. These results imply that new N inputs have the greatest capacity to fuel additional NPP by terrestrial plants, whereas low P availability may ultimately constrain NPP across much of the terrestrial biosphere.

AB  - The electronic structure and magnetic properties of pure and doped Fe16N2 systems have been studied in the local-density (LDA) and quasiparticle self-consistent GW approximations. The GW magnetic moment of pure Fe16N2 is somewhat larger compared to LDA but not anomalously large. The effects of doping on magnetic moment and exchange coupling were analyzed using the coherent potential approximation. Our lowest estimate of the Curie temperature in pure Fe16N2 is significantly higher than the measured value, which we mainly atthbute to the quality of available samples and the interpretation of experimental results. We found that different Fe sites contribute very differently to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE), which offers a way to increase the MAE by small site-specific doping of Co or Ti for Fe. The MAE also increases under tetragonal strain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The ability of microorganisms to survive under extreme conditions is closely related to the physicochemical properties of their wall. In the ubiquitous protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, the oocyst stage possesses a bilayered wall that protects the dormant but potentially infective parasites from harsh environmental conditions until their ingestion by the host. None of the common disinfectants are effective in killing the parasite because the oocyst wall acts as a primary barrier to physical and chemical attacks. Here, we address the structure and chemistry of the wall of the T. gondii oocyst by combining wall surface treatments, fluorescence imaging, EM, and measurements of its mechanical characteristics by using atomic force microscopy. Elasticity and indentation measurements indicated that the oocyst wall resembles common plastic materials, based on the Young moduli, E, evaluated by atomic force microscopy. Our study demonstrates that the inner layer is as robust as the bilayered wall itself. Besides wall mechanics, our results suggest important differences regarding the nonspecific adhesive properties of each layer. All together, these findings suggest a key biological role for the oocyst wall mechanics in maintaining the integrity of the T. gondii oocysts in the environment or after exposure to disinfectants, and therefore their potential infectivity to humans and animals.

AB  - Planktonic bacteria dominate surface ocean biomass and influence global biogeochemical processes, but remain poorly characterized owing to difficulties in cultivation. Using large-scale single cell genomics, we obtained insight into the genome content and biogeography of many bacterial lineages inhabiting the surface ocean. We found that, compared with existing cultures, natural bacterioplankton have smaller genomes, fewer gene duplications, and are depleted in guanine and cytosine, noncoding nucleotides, and genes encoding transcription, signal transduction, and noncytoplasmic proteins. These findings provide strong evidence that genome streamlining and oligotrophy are prevalent features among diverse, free-living bacterioplankton, whereas existing laboratory cultures consist primarily of copiotrophs. The apparent ubiquity of metabolic specialization and mixotrophy, as predicted from single cell genomes, also may contribute to the difficulty in bacterioplankton cultivation. Using metagenome fragment recruitment against single cell genomes, we show that the global distribution of surface ocean bacterioplankton correlates with temperature and latitude and is not limited by dispersal at the time scales required for nucleotide substitution to exceed the current operational definition of bacterial species. Single cell genomes with highly similar small subunit rRNA gene sequences exhibited significant genomic and biogeographic variability, highlighting challenges in the interpretation of individual gene surveys and metagenome assemblies in environmental microbiology. Our study demonstrates the utility of single cell genomics for gaining an improved understanding of the composition and dynamics of natural microbial assemblages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Insect herbivory can produce a pulse of mineral nitrogen (N) in soil from the decomposition of frass and cadavers. In this study, we examined how diet quality affects rates of N and carbon (C) mineralization from grasshopper frass and cadavers. Frass was collected from grasshoppers fed with natural or meridic diets which varied in N content. Frass was also collected from naturally foraging grasshoppers. Nitrogen concentration of frass was directly proportional to diet N, but N content of cadavers was not affected by diet. Incubations of soil plus frass were performed at constant soil moisture and temperature (15°C) for 28 days, after which levels of mineral N (KCl extract) were determined. About 44 % of C and N from the cadavers were mineralized after the 28-day incubation. Carbon mineralization of frass was not affected by diet or frass N but varied considerably among different food treatments: from 15 to 46 % of the C in frass was released as carbon dioxide. Generally, frass with C/N ratio greater than 20 resulted in net immobilization of N. Results suggest that much of the N in grasshopper frass and cadavers is labile and rapidly available for plants, depending on the quality of food consumed by the grasshoppers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The trace element selenium (Se) is required for the biosynthesis of selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid in the genetic code, but its role in the ecology of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is unknown. Here, we examined the role of Se in the biology and ecology of the harmful pelagophyte, Aureococcus anophagefferens, through cell culture, genomic analyses, and ecosystem studies. This organism has the largest and the most diverse selenoproteome identified to date that consists of at least 59 selenoproteins, including known eukaryotic selenoproteins, selenoproteins previously only detected in bacteria, and novel selenoproteins. The A. anophagefferens selenoproteome was dominated by the thioredoxin fold proteins and oxidoreductase functions were assigned to the majority of detected selenoproteins. Insertion of Sec in these proteins was supported by a unique Sec insertion sequence. Se was required for the growth of A. anophagefferens as cultures grew maximally at nanomolar Se concentrations. In a coastal ecosystem, dissolved Se concentrations were elevated before and after A. anophagefferens blooms, but were reduced by >95% during the peak of blooms to 0.05 nM. Consistent with this pattern, enrichment of seawater with selenite before and after a bloom did not affect the growth of A. anophagefferens, but enrichment during the peak of the bloom significantly increased population growth rates. These findings demonstrate that Se inventories, which can be anthropogenically enriched, can support proliferation of HABs, such as A. anophagefferens through its synthesis of a large arsenal of Se-dependent oxidoreductases that fine-tune cellular redox homeostasis.

AB  - Smoking is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and fracture, but the mechanism through which smoke causes bone loss remains unclear. Here, we show that the smoke toxins benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) interact with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) to induce osteoclastic bone resorption through the activation of cytochrome P450 1a/1b (Cyp1) enzymes. BaP and TCDD enhanced osteoclast formation in bone marrow cell cultures and gavage with BaP stimulated bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis in vivo. The osteoclastogenesis triggered by BaP or RANK-L was reduced in Ahr cells, consistent with the high bone mass noted in Ahr-/- male mice. The receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANK-L) also failed to induce the expression of Cyp1 enzymes in Ahr-/- cells. Furthermore, the osteoclastogenesis induced by TCDD was lower in Cyp1a1/1a2-/- and Cyp1a1/1a2f1b1-/- cultures, indicating that Ahr was upstream of the Cyp enzymes. Likewise, the pharmacological inhibition of the Cyp1 enzymes with tetramethylsilane or proadifen reduced osteoclastogenesis. Finally, deletion of the Cyp1a1, Cypla2, and Cyp1b1 in triple knockout mice resulted in reduced bone resorption and recapitulated the high bone mass phenotype of Ahr-/- mice. Overall, the data identify the Ahr and Cyp1 enzymes not only in the pathophysiology of smoke-induced osteoporosis, but also as potential targets for selective modulation by new therapeutics.

AB  - Polyphenism is the phenomenon in which alternative phenotypes are produced by a single genotype in response to environmental cues. An extreme case is found in social insects, in which reproductive queens and sterile workers that greatly differ in morphology and behavior can arise from a single genotype. Experimental evidence for maternal effects on caste determination, the differential larval development toward the queen or worker caste, was recently documented in Pogonomyrmex seed harvester ants, in which only colonies with a hibernated queen produce new queens. However, the proximate mechanisms behind these intergenerational effects have remained elusive. We used a combination of artificial hibernation, hormonal treatments, gene expression analyses, hormone measurements, and vitellogenin quantification to investigate how the combined effect of environmental cues and hormonal signaling affects the process of caste determination in Pogonomyrmex rugosus. The results show that the interplay between insulin signaling, juvenile hormone, and vitellogenin regulates maternal effects on the production of alternative phenotypes and set vitellogenin as a likely key player in the intergenerational transmission of information. This study reveals how hibernation triggers the production of new queens in Pogonomyrmex ant colonies. More generally, it provides important information on maternal effects by showing how environmental cues experienced by one generation can translate into phenotypic variation in the next generation.

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this work was to optimize a mathematical equation for use as a primary kinetic model that employed a new approach to describe the three-phase growth of bacteria under constant temperature conditions. This research adopted an optimization algorithm in combination with the Runge–Kutta method to solve the differential form of the new growth model in search of an optimized lag phase transition coefficient (LPTC), which is used to define the adaption and duration of lag phases of bacteria prior to exponential growth. Growth curves of Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Clostridium perfringens, selected from previously published data, were analyzed to obtain an optimized LPTC for each growth curve and a global LPTC for all growth curves. With the new optimized LPTC, the new growth model could be used to accurately describe the bacterial growth curves with three distinctive phases (lag, exponential, and stationary). The new optimized LPTC significantly improved the performance and applicability of the new model. The results of statistical analysis (ANOVA) suggested that the new growth model performed equally well with the Baranyi model. It can be used as an alternative primary model for bacterial growth if the bacterial adaption is more significant in controlling the lag phase development. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ecology is a leading discipline in the synthesis of diverse knowledge. Ecologists have had considerable experience in bringing together diverse, multinational data sets, disciplines, and cultural perspectives to address a wide range of issues in basic and applied science. Now is the time to build on this foundation and invest in ecological synthesis through new national or international programs. While synthesis takes place through many mechanisms, including individual efforts, working groups, and research networks, centers are extraordinarily effective institutional settings for advancing synthesis projects.

AB  - Flavobacterium columnare is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium that causes columnaris disease in a wide variety of fish worldwide. Timely detection of this bacterium is important to prevent its spreading and to reduce the economic loss to fish farmers. We developed a TaqMan-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting a 113 bp nucleotide region of the chondroitin AC lyase gene of F. columnare G4. Specificity of the assay evaluated with 20 isolates of F. columnare and 15 other taxonomically or ecologically related bacteria revealed that the primers and probe were 100% specific for detection of F. columnare. The sensitivity limit of detection of F. columnare in pure cultures, over a range of dilutions [3.1 × 100–3.1 × 106 colony-forming units (CFU) mL−1], was observed to be ∼3 bacterial cells. The lowest limit of detection in nucleic acids from pure culture of F. columnare was 5.4 fg and the assay was linear with the log of amount of nucleic acid ( R2=0.994) over that range (5.4 ng–5.4 fg). In tissues (blood, gills and kidney) of F. columnare experimentally infected fish, the bacterial numbers measured by TaqMan real-time PCR ranged from 3.4 × 100 to 9.5 × 105 CFU mL−1. In both F. columnare experimentally infected and spiked samples, positive PCR results were confirmed by bacteriological culture with 100% agreement. The TaqMan real-time PCR developed in this study is specific, sensitive and reproducible for the detection and quantitation of F. columnare in infected fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although female parasitic wasps are known to learn to associate odors with hosts and food, the ability of males to learn and detect odors has been neglected. We conducted laboratory experiments to compare the detection ability of learned odors between males and females in the larval parasitoid Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). We first conditioned males and females to associate sucrose water with methyl benzoate, 3-octanone, or cyclohexanone, and then observed their behavior toward various concentrations (40 ng l−1−4 mg l−1) of the trained odors. Conditioned male wasps responded as well as female wasps to various concentrations of the three odors. Response times by wasps to these three odors were not significantly different between sexes. For the three odors, response times of both sexes were longer at the intermediate concentrations (40–400 µg l−1) than the higher or lower concentrations. The present study suggests that M. croceipes males can learn and respond to the three chemicals tested as well as the females, and conditioned males are as sensitive to learned odors as conditioned females. By using their sensitive learning and odor-detection capabilities, M. croceipes males could search for food sources as efficiently as females under natural conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bird populations are influenced by a variety of factors at both small and large scales that range from the presence of suitable nesting habitat, predators, and food supplies to climate conditions and land-use patterns. We evaluated the influences of regional climate and land-use variables on wetland breeding birds in the Canada section of Bird Conservation Region 11 (CA-BCR11), the Prairie Potholes. We used bird abundance data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey, land-use data from the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, and weather data from the National Climatic Data and Information Archive to model effects of regional environmental variables on bird abundance. Models were constructed a priori using information from published habitat associations in the literature, and fitting was performed with WinBUGS using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. Both land-use and climate variables contributed to predicting bird abundance in CA-BCR11, although climate predictors contributed the most to improving model fit. Examination of regional effects of climate and land use on wetland birds in CA-BCR11 revealed relationships with environmental covariates that are often overlooked by small-scale habitat studies. Results from these studies can be used to improve conservation and management planning for regional populations of avifauna. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les populations d’oiseaux sont influencées par une foule de facteurs, tant à petite qu’à grande échelle, qui vont de la présence d’un habitat adéquat de nidification, de prédateurs et de ressources alimentaires jusqu’aux conditions climatiques et aux patrons d’utilisation des terres. Nous évaluons les influences des variables du climat et de l’utilisation régionale des terres sur la reproduction d’oiseaux nichant dans les terres humides dans la région 11 de protection des oiseaux au Canada (CA-BCR11), soit les mares des prairies. Nous utilisons les données d’abondance des oiseaux de l’Inventaire nord-américain des oiseaux nicheurs, les données d’utilisation des terres de l’Administration du rétablissement agricole des prairies et les données climatiques des Archives nationales d’information et de données climatologiques pour élaborer un modèle des effets des variables environnementales régionales sur l’abondance des oiseaux. Nous avons construit des modèles a priori à partir de données sur les associations d’habitat dans la littérature et nous les avons ajustés à l’aide du logiciel WinBUGS avec des techniques de Monte Carlo par chaînes de Markov. Tant les variables du climat que de l’utilisation des terres contribuent à la prédiction de l’abondance des oiseaux dans la région CA-BCR11, bien que ce soient les variables climatiques explicatives qui contribuent le plus à l’amélioration de l’ajustement du modèle. L’examen des effets régionaux du climat et de l’utilisation des terres dans la région CA-BCR11 montre des relations avec les covariables environnementales qui sont souvent ignorées dans les études d’habitat à petite échelle. Les résultats de nos études peuvent servir à améliorer la planification en vue de la conservation et l’aménagement des populations régionales de la faune aviaire. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Xylose is a major constituent of plant lignocellulose, and its fermentation is important for the bioconversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals. Pichia stipitis is a well-studied, native xylose-fermenting yeast. The mechanism and regulation of xylose metabolism in P. stipitis have been characterized and genes from P. stipitis have been used to engineer xylose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have sequenced and assembled the complete genome of P. stipitis. The sequence data have revealed unusual aspects of genome organization, numerous genes for bioconversion, a preliminary insight into regulation of central metabolic pathways and several examples of colocalized genes with related functions. The genome sequence provides insight into how P. stipitis regulates its redox balance while very efficiently fermenting xylose under microaerobic conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rheological properties of fresh Queso Chihuahua made from raw milk (RM) or pasteurized milk (PM) were characterized using texture profile, torsion and small amplitude oscillatory shear analyses. Although the rheological properties varied significantly among the different brands with overlapping ranges for the individual RM and PM cheese brands, overall the PM cheeses were harder, chewier and more cohesive but had lower viscoelastic values than the RM cheeses. Establishing the rheological properties of Mexican Queso Chihuahua increases our understanding of the quality traits of Hispanic-style cheeses and provides a foundation for maintaining the traditional texture of the cheese.

AB  - The rhizobia present in a single arid region Tunisian soil that nodulate Medicago laciniata and Medicago truncatula were compared. All isolates, 40 from each host, were Sinorhizobium meliloti based on 16S rRNA polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) patterns and subsequent confirmation by sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes in four representatives from each host species. There was no apparent relationship between Medicago host species of isolation and the nodulating rhizobial genome as determined by repetitive extragenic palandromic PCR. The isolates of M. laciniata were distinguished from those of M. truncatula present in the same soil by variation in PCR–RFLP of nifDK, indicating that this dissimilarity is originally genetic and not geographic. While forming effective symbioses with their own respective isolates, both M. laciniata and M. truncatula formed ineffective true nodules, nodule-like structures, or no nodules at all in cross-inoculation tests, as confirmed by the histological observations.

Tous les isolats analysés, 40 de chaque plante hôte, se son avérés à partir , de l'identification moléculaire par PCR–RFLP du gène de l'ARNr 16S, appartenir à l'espèce Sinorhizobium meliloti. Ce résultat est confirmé par le séquençage de ce même gène chez quatre issus de chaque plante.

AB  - Contents The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cooling ovarian tissue on pig pre-antral follicles. Ovaries were maintained in saline solution (0.9%) at 4 or 20°C for 6, 12 or 18 h. After storage, pre-antral follicles were morphologically evaluated. While primordial follicles were not affected by the storage, the percentage of morphologically normal growing follicles was significantly reduced in ovarian tissue stored at 20°C for 12 or 18 h. To test the viability of stored follicles, growing follicles isolated from ovaries stored at 4°C for 18 h and at 20°C for 6 h were cultured for 3 days. Follicles stored in either condition presented the same growth pattern in vitro as fresh follicles. We conclude that storage of pig ovaries at 4°C for up to 18 h or at 20°C for up to 6 h does not affect the morphology of growing follicles or their ability to grow in vitro. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of metabolic abnormalities that increase the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The exact etiology remains unclear, but it is known to be a complex interaction between genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors. Among environmental factors, dietary habits are of central importance in the prevention and treatment of this condition. However, there is currently no firm consensus on the most appropriate dietary recommendations. General recommendations include decreasing obesity, increasing physical activity, and consuming an anti-atherogenic diet, and have traditionally focused on low total fat intake. A major problem with the focus on low fat is that high-carbohydrate diets can contribute to increasing triglyceride and decreasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations. Low-carbohydrate diets have been popular in recent years. However, such diets are typically higher in saturated fat and lower in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than national dietary recommendations. More recently the quality of carbohydrate has been studied in relation to MetS, including a focus on dietary fiber and glycemic index. Similarly, there has been a move from limiting total fat to a focus on the quality of the fat, with evidence of beneficial effects of replacing some carbohydrate with monounsaturated fat. Other nutrients examined for possible importance include calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium. Together, the evidence suggests that the components of diet currently recommended as “healthy” are likely also protective against MetS, including low saturated and trans fat (rather than low total fat) and balanced carbohydrate intake rich in dietary fiber, as well as high fruit and vegetable intake (rather than low total carbohydrate); and the inclusion of low-fat dairy foods. Accelerating research on gene–diet interactions is likely to contribute interesting information that may lead to further individualized dietary guidance in the future.

AB  - Le syndrome métabolique est un ensemble d’anomalies métaboliques accroissant le risque de maladie cardiovasculaire tels l’athérosclérose et le diabète de type 2. On ne connaît pas les causes exactes, mais on sait qu’il s’agit d’une interaction complexe de facteurs héréditaires, métaboliques et environnementaux. Parmi les facteurs environnementaux, les habitudes alimentaires sont d’une importance capitale dans la prévention et le traitement de ce syndrome. Cependant, jusqu’à ce jour, il n’y a aucun consensus net quant aux meilleures recommandations diététiques. Comme recommandations générales, on demande de réduire l’adiposité, d’augmenter la pratique de l’activité physique et de consommer des aliments anti-athérogènes et, de façon classique, de réduire la quantité totale de gras dans l’alimentation. En mettant l’accent sur une faible quantité de gras, on crée un problème sérieux : un régime hyperglucidique peut augmenter la concentration de triglycérides et diminuer la concentration de HDL. Depuis quelques années, on observe un engouement pour les régimes hypoglucidiques ; ces derniers contiennent habituellement un plus haut taux de gras saturé et comportent moins de fruits, de légumes et de grains entiers que ne le préconisent les organismes nationaux. Depuis peu de temps, on s’intéresse à la qualité des sucres et à leur relation avec le syndrome métabolique et on porte une attention particulière aux fibres alimentaires et à l’index glycémique. Parallèlement, on est passé d’une recommandation de consommer une quantité maximale de gras à une recommandation bénéfique de substituer certains sucres par des gras monoinsaturés. Il faut aussi tenir compte des nutriments suivants : le calcium, la vitamine D et le magnésium. D’après toutes les observations rassemblées, les constituants d’un régime alimentaire dit « bon pour la santé , aussi valables dans la prévention du syndrome métabolique, comportent peu de gras saturé et de gras trans (au lieu d’une faible quantité totale de gras), des sucres en quantité raisonnable, beaucoup de fibres alimentaires, de fruits et de légumes (au lieu d’une faible quantité totale de sucres) et des produits laitiers faibles en gras. Avec plus de recherche sur les interactions des régimes et des gènes, on pourra cumuler plus de sources d’information utiles à l’encadrement personnalisé de l’alimentation.

AB  - Aim:  To evaluate urea hydrolysis, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production (odour) and coliforms in cattle waste slurries after a urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and a plant oil component (thymol) were added. Methods and Results:  Faeces from cattle fed a diet of 70% corn silage and 30% alfalfa haylage, urine and distilled water in the ratio 50 : 35 : 15 were blended at high speed for 1 min. Triplicate aliquots of 750 ml were amended with NBPT plus or minus thymol and reblended for 1 min, and were poured into 1·6 l wide-mouth jars covered 90% with a lid. After 56 days, thymol (2000 mg kg−1 waste) in combination with NBPT (80 mg kg−1 waste) retained 5·2 g of an initial 9·2 g of urea in cattle waste slurries, compared with less than 1 g of urea retained when NBPT was the only additive ( P < 0·05). Another experiment using excreta from cattle fed 76·25% high moisture corn, 19·25% corn silage and a 4·5% supplement, blended at a low speed, gave a similar response with urea hydrolysis; and the two treatments, thymol alone and thymol in combination with NBPT, reduced VFA production ( P < 0·01) and eliminated all coliform bacteria by day 1. A third experiment indicated coliforms disappeared in the no addition treatment after 8 days; however, they were viable at 6·6 × 104 CFU g−1 waste beyond 35 days in the NBPT treatment. Conclusions:  Thymol supplements the effect of NBPT by increasing the inhibitory period for hydrolysis of urea in cattle waste slurries and nitrogen retention in the waste. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Thymol and NBPT offer the potential to reduce odour and pathogens in cattle manure, and increase the fertilizer value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biophysical characteristics of sapwood and outer parenchyma water storage compartments were studied in stems of eight dominant Brazilian Cerrado tree species to assess the impact of differences in tissue capacitance on whole-plant water relations. The rate of decline in tissue water potential with relative water content ( RWC) was greater in the outer parenchyma than in the sapwood for most of the species, resulting in tissue-and species-specific differences in capacitance. Sapwood capacitance on a tissue volume basis ranged from 40 to 160 kg m−3 MPa−1, whereas outer parenchyma capacitance ranged from 25 to only 60 kg m−3 MPa−1. In addition, osmotic potentials at full turgor and at the turgor loss point were more negative for the outer parenchyma compared with the sapwood, and the maximum bulk elastic modulus was higher for the outer parenchyma than for the sapwood. Sapwood capacitance decreased linearly with increasing sapwood density across species, but there was no significant correlation between outer parenchyma capacitance and tissue density. Midday leaf water potential, the total hydraulic conductance of the soil/leaf pathway and stomatal conductance to water vapour ( gs) all increased with stem volumetric capacitance, or with the relative contribution of stored water to total daily transpiration. However, the difference between the pre-dawn water potential of non-transpiring leaves and the weighted average soil water potential, a measure of the water potential disequilibrium between the plant and soil, increased asymptotically with total stem capacitance across species, implying that overnight recharge of water storage compartments was incomplete in species with greater capacitance. Overall, stem capacitance contributes to homeostasis in the diurnal and seasonal water balance of Cerrado trees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A somatic transformation gene vector that exploits the genomic integration properties of Junonia coenia lepidopteran densovirus ( JcDNV) sequences in vivo has been developed. JcDNV somatic transformation vectors are derivatives of plasmids containing an interrupted genome of JcDNV that provide efficient, robust vectors that can be used to examine regulation of chromosomally integrated transgenes in insects. Microinjection of JcDNV plasmids into syncytial embryos of Drosophila melanogaster or the lepidopterans Plodia interpunctella, Ephestia kuehniella or Trichoplusia ni resulted in persistent transgene expression throughout development. Inclusion of transgenes with tissue-specific promoters resulted in expression patterns canonical with phenotypes of piggyBac germline transformants. Somatic transformation required the presence of the viral inverted terminal repeat in cis only and did not depend upon non-structural viral proteins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The relationship between BMI and leptin has been studied extensively in the past, but previous reports in postmenopausal women have not been conducted under carefully controlled dietary conditions of weight maintenance using precise measures of body fat distribution. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between serum leptin concentration and adiposity as estimated by BMI and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measures (percent body fat, central and peripheral fat, and lean mass) in postmenopausal women. Methods: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional analysis within the control segment of a randomized, crossover trial in which postmenopausal women (n = 51) consumed 0 (control), 15 (one drink), and 30 (two drinks) g alcohol (ethanol)/d for 8 weeks as part of a controlled diet. BMIs were determined and DEXA scans were administered to the women during the 0 g alcohol treatment, and a blood sample was collected at baseline and week 8 of each study period for leptin analysis. Results and discussion: In multivariate analysis, women who were overweight (BMI > 25 to ≤ 30 kg/m²) had a 2-fold increase, and obese women (BMI > 30 kg/m²) had more than a 3-fold increase in serum leptin concentrations compared to normal weight (BMI 25 kg/m²) women. When the models for the different measures of adiposity were assessed by multiple R², models which included percent body fat explained the highest proportion (approximately 80%) of the serum leptin variance. Conclusion: Under carefully controlled dietary conditions, we confirm that higher levels of adiposity were associated with higher concentrations of serum leptin. It appears that percent body fat in postmenopausal women may be the best adiposity-related predictor of serum leptin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Campylobacter jejuni has been divided into two subspecies: C. jejuni subsp. jejuni (Cjj) and C. jejuni subsp. doylei (Cjd). Nearly all of the C. jejuni strains isolated are Cjj; nevertheless, although Cjd strains are isolated infrequently, they differ from Cjj in two key aspects: they are obtained primarily from human clinical samples and are associated often with bacteremia, in addition to gastroenteritis. In this study, we utilized multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and a DNA microarray-based comparative genomic indexing (CGI) approach to examine the genomic diversity and gene content of Cjd strains. Results: A geographically diverse collection of eight Cjd strains was examined by MLST and determined to be phylogenetically distinct from Cjj strains. Microarray-based CGI approach also supported this. We were able to demonstrate that Cjd strains exhibited divergence from Cjj strains NCTC 11168 and RM1221 in many of the intraspecies hypervariable regions. Moreover, multiple metabolic, transport and virulence functions (e.g. cytolethal distending toxin) were shown to be absent in the Cjd strains examined. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that Cjd are phylogenetically distinct from Cjj strains. Using the CGI approach, we identified subsets of absent genes from amongst the C. jejuni genes that provide clues as to the potential evolutionary origin and unusual pathogenicity of Cjd.

AB  - Noonan syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by short stature, facial dysmorphia, congenital heart defects and skeletal anomalies. Increased RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling due to PTPN11 and KRAS mutations causes 50% of cases of Noonan syndrome. Here, we report that 22 of 129 individuals with Noonan syndrome without PTPN11 or KRAS mutation have missense mutations in SOS1, which encodes a RAS-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor. SOS1 mutations cluster at codons encoding residues implicated in the maintenance of SOS1 in its autoinhibited form. In addition, ectopic expression of two Noonan syndrome–associated mutants induces enhanced RAS and ERK activation. The phenotype associated with SOS1 defects lies within the Noonan syndrome spectrum but is distinctive, with a high prevalence of ectodermal abnormalities but generally normal development and linear growth. Our findings implicate gain-of-function mutations in a RAS guanine nucleotide exchange factor in disease for the first time and define a new mechanism by which upregulation of the RAS pathway can profoundly change human development.

T1  - phyA dominates in transduction of red-light signals to rapidly responding genes at the initiation of Arabidopsis seedling de-etiolation.

AB  - Contrary to expectations based on the visible phenotypic behavior of seedlings undergoing de-etiolation in response to continuous red light (Rc), previous gene expression profiling showed that one or more of the five-membered phytochrome (phy) family of Arabidopsis, other than phyB, is predominantly responsible for transducing the Rc signals to light-responsive genes. To begin to identify which phys are involved, and to define potential primary targets of phy signaling, we have examined the genome-wide expression profiles of genes responding to Rc within 1 h (early response genes) of initial exposure of dark-grown wild-type, phyA, phyB and phyAphyB double mutant seedlings to the light signal. The data show that phyA has a quantitatively dominant role in Rc-induced expression of these early response genes, that phyB has minimal detectable regulatory activity in the presence of phyA, but assumes a quantitatively larger role in its absence, and that phyA and phyB combined are responsible for the full extent of Rc responsiveness of 96% of these genes. No evidence was obtained of a significant role for the remaining family members, phyC, phyD or phyE, in this process. In striking contrast, Rc-imposed repression of early response gene expression remains quantitatively strong in the phyAphyB double mutant, as well as the monogenic mutants, suggesting a significant role for one or more of the other three phys in this response. Examination of the established or predicted functional roles of the early response genes indicates that genes encoding transcription factors represent the largest single category, at a frequency three times their prevalence genome-wide. This dominance is particularly striking among those genes responding most robustly to the Rc signal, where >50% are classified as involved in transcriptional regulation, suggesting that these may have potentially primary regulatory roles at the interface between phy signaling and the light-responsive transcriptional network. Integration of the present data with those of a previous genome-scale transcriptional analysis of a pif3 mutant, suggests a complex network involving perception and transduction of inductive Rc signals by both phyA and phyB through both PIF3 and other undefined signaling partners to early response genes.

AB  - US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) data on Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis in broiler chicken carcass rinses collected from 2000 through 2005 showed the annual number of isolates increased >4-fold and the proportion of establishments with Salmonella Enteritidis-positive rinses increased nearly 3-fold (test for trend, p<0.0001). The number of states with Salmonella Enteritidis in broiler rinses increased from 14 to 24. The predominant phage types (PT) were PT 13 and PT 8, 2 strains that a recent Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) case-control study associated with eating chicken. FSIS is directing more sampling resources toward plants with marginal Salmonella control to reduce prevalence in products including broilers. The policy targets establishments with common Salmonella serotypes of human illness, including Salmonella Enteritidis. Voluntary interventions should be implemented by industry.

AB  - The velvet gene, veA, co-ordinates asexual and sexual development in the homothallic fungal species Aspergillus nidulans. Studies in Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus fumigatus demonstrated that veA also regulates morphological differentiation in these species. Whether veA has the same role in morphogenesis in other fungal genera has not been investigated. In this work, we studied the role of the veA homologue, FvVE1, in the heterothallic fungus Fusarium verticillioides. Deletion of FvVE1 suppressed aerial hyphal growth and reduced colony surface hydrophobicity on solid media. In submerged cultures, FvVE1 deletion caused alterations in hyphal polarity, marked activation of conidiation and yeast-like growth. The latter was promoted by shaking to increase aeration of cultures. In addition, FvVE1 deletion markedly increased the ratio of macroconidia to microconidia. Supplementation of osmotic stabilizers restored the wild-type phenotype to deletion mutants, suggesting phenotypic alterations caused by FvVE1 deletion are related to cell wall defects. This is consistent with the hypersensitivity of FvVE1 deletion mutants to SDS and with the significant reduction in the mannoprotein content of mutants compared with the wild-type strain. However, no dramatic cell wall alterations were observed when mutants were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Our data strongly suggest that FvVE1 is important for cell wall integrity, cell surface hydrophobicity, hyphal polarity and conidiation pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To determine the effect of antimicrobial selective pressure on the transmission of antimicrobial resistant and sensitive strains of Salmonella in poultry. Methods and Results:  Eight pens housed 12 broiler chicks each. Two chicks in four of the pens were inoculated with a Salm. Typhimurium strain resistant to 12 antimicrobials (including tetracycline), and two chicks in each of the four other pens were inoculated with a strain sensitive to all antimicrobials tested. Two pens inoculated with each strain were treated with chlortetracycline and two were not. Chicks were killed on day 7 and caeca were cultured for Salmonella. Experiments were performed independently twice. Chicks exposed to pen mates inoculated with the resistant strain and treated with tetracycline were 90% positive for Salmonella; whereas 60% of chicks given no antimicrobials were positive. Chicks exposed to the sensitive strain were 95% positive with tetracycline treatment and 90% positive without treatment. Conclusions:  A multidrug-resistant Salm. Typhimurium strain had significantly increased transmission when chicks were treated with tetracycline. Transmission of a sensitive strain was not inhibited by antimicrobial selective pressure at recommended therapeutic dose. Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study demonstrates that antimicrobial usage may influence the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in poultry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Identifying the sequences that direct the spatial and temporal expression of genes and defining their function in vivo remains a significant challenge in the annotation of vertebrate genomes. One major obstacle is the lack of experimentally validated training sets. In this study, we made use of extreme evolutionary sequence conservation as a filter to identify putative gene regulatory elements, and characterized the in vivo enhancer activity of a large group of non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved in human–pufferfish, Takifugu (Fugu) rubripes, or ultraconserved in human–mouse–rat. We tested 167 of these extremely conserved sequences in a transgenic mouse enhancer assay. Here we report that 45% of these sequences functioned reproducibly as tissue-specific enhancers of gene expression at embryonic day 11.5. While directing expression in a broad range of anatomical structures in the embryo, the majority of the 75 enhancers directed expression to various regions of the developing nervous system. We identified sequence signatures enriched in a subset of these elements that targeted forebrain expression, and used these features to rank all ∼3,100 non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved between human and Fugu. The testing of the top predictions in transgenic mice resulted in a threefold enrichment for sequences with forebrain enhancer activity. These data dramatically expand the catalogue of human gene enhancers that have been characterized in vivo, and illustrate the utility of such training sets for a variety of biological applications, including decoding the regulatory vocabulary of the human genome.

AB  - A mutant of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis EB037 with limited ability to produce tagetitoxin was isolated after transposon mutagenesis and the mutation was characterized. The mutation occurred in a gene with a high degree of sequence identity to exbD. exbD is contiguous with tonB and exbB upstream and with a gene for a TonB-dependent receptor downstream. Using reverse transcription – polymerase chain reaction with RNA from the wild-type and exbD mutant strains, we demonstrated that the mutation in exbD did not have a polar affect on the expression of downstream genes. The exbD mutant was able to grow well in conditions where iron is not freely available. Siderophore production by the exbD mutant was similar to that of the wild-type strain. We conclude that the mutation in exbD disrupts tagetitoxin production without compromising iron metabolism. The results indicate that tagetitoxin export by P. syringae pv. tagetis involves an efflux pump that requires a functional TonB system that is not essential for normal iron metabolism.

AB  - Un mutant de Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis EB037 ayant une capacité limitée à produire de la tagetitoxine fut isolé suite à une mutagénèse par transposon et la mutation fut caractérisée. La mutation était présente dans un gène ayant un haut degré d'identité de séquence à exbD. exbD est contigu avec tonB et exbB en amont et avec un gène codant un récepteur dépendant de TonB en aval. Nous avons démontré par réaction en chaîne de la polymérase à transcription inverse avec de l'ARN des souches sauvages et mutantes pour exbD que la mutation dans exbD n'avait pas d'effet polaire sur l'expression de gènes en aval. Le mutant exbD fut capable de bien croître dans des conditions où le fer n'était pas librement disponible. La production de sidérophores par le mutant exbD était semblable à celle de la souche sauvage. Nous concluons que la mutation dans exbD empêche la production de tagetitoxine sans compromettre le métabolisme du fer. Ces résultats indiquent que l'exportation de la tagetitoxine par P. syringae pv. tagetis met en jeu une pompe d'écoulement qui nécessite un système fonctionnel TonB qui n'est pas essentiel au métabolisme normal du fer.

AB  - One major barrier to the economic conversion of biomass to ethanol is inhibitory compounds generated during biomass pretreatment using dilute acid hydrolysis. Major inhibitors such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) inhibit yeast growth and subsequent fermentation. The ethanologenic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrated a dose-dependant inhibition by the inhibitors and has the potential to transform furfural and HMF into less toxic compounds of furfuryl alcohol and 2,5-bis-hydroxymethylfuran (also termed as furan-2,5-dimethanol (FDM)), respectively. For a sustainable and cost-competitive biomass-to-ethanol industry, it is important to develop more tolerant yeast strains that can, in situ, detoxify the inhibitors and produce ethanol. This study summarizes current knowledge and our understanding of the inhibitors furfural and HMF and discusses metabolic conversion pathways of the inhibitors and the yeast genomic expression response to inhibitor stress. Unlike laboratory strains, gene expression response of the ethanologenic yeast to furfural and HMF was not transient, but a continued dynamic process involving multiple genes at the genome level. This suggests that during the lag phase, ethanologenic yeasts undergo a genomic adaptation process in response to the inhibitors. The findings to date provide a strong foundation for future studies on genomic adaptation and manipulation of yeast to aid more robust strain design and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The influenza pandemic of 1918–19 was responsible for about 50 million deaths worldwide. Modern histopathological analysis of autopsy samples from human influenza cases from 1918 revealed significant damage to the lungs with acute, focal bronchitis and alveolitis associated with massive pulmonary oedema, haemorrhage and rapid destruction of the respiratory epithelium. The contribution of the host immune response leading to this severe pathology remains largely unknown. Here we show, in a comprehensive analysis of the global host response induced by the 1918 influenza virus, that mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus displayed an increased and accelerated activation of host immune response genes associated with severe pulmonary pathology. We found that mice infected with a virus containing all eight genes from the pandemic virus showed marked activation of pro-inflammatory and cell-death pathways by 24 h after infection that remained unabated until death on day 5. This was in contrast with smaller host immune responses as measured at the genomic level, accompanied by less severe disease pathology and delays in death in mice infected with influenza viruses containing only subsets of 1918 genes. The results indicate a cooperative interaction between the 1918 influenza genes and show that study of the virulence of the 1918 influenza virus requires the use of the fully reconstructed virus. With recent concerns about the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses into humans and their potential to cause a worldwide pandemic with disastrous health and economic consequences, a comprehensive understanding of the global host response to the 1918 virus is crucial. Moreover, understanding the contribution of host immune responses to virulent influenza virus infections is an important starting point for the identification of prognostic indicators and the development of novel antiviral therapies.

AB  - Unique architectural phenotypes have the potential for increasing yield in commercial melon ( Cucumis melo L.). Therefore, a generation means analysis was conducted to investigate the inheritance of architectural traits (days to anthesis, primary branch number, fruit number and weight, and average weight per fruit). Progeny (F1, F2, BC1P1 and BC1P2) from a cross between US Department of Agriculture (USDA) line, USDA 846-1 (P1) and ‘TopMark’ (P2) were evaluated at Arlington (AR) and Hancock (HCK), Wisconsin in 2001. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) environment effects and genotype × environment interactions (G × E) analyses necessitated analysis by location. Significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) among parents and generations were observed for all traits, and the two parental lines differed significantly for primary branch number, fruit number and average weight per fruit. Additive gene effects were most important in governing primary branch number and fruit number per plant, while dominance and epistatic genetic effects mainly controlled days to anthesis, fruit weight per plant and average weight per fruit. Narrow-sense heritabilities were 0.62 (AR) for days to anthesis, 0.71 (AR) and 0.76 (HCK) for primary branch number, 0.68 (AR) and 0.70 (HCK) for fruit weight per plant, 0.33 (AR) and 0.45 (HCK) for fruit weight per plant, and 0.06 (AR) and 0.79 (HCK) for average weight per fruit. Estimations of the least number of effective factors for primary branch number were relatively consistent at both AR (approx. 4) and HCK (approx. 2). Results suggest that introgression of yield-related genes from highly branched melon types (e.g. USDA 846-1) into US Western Shipping germplasm may aid in the development of high-yielding cultivars with concentrated fruit set suitable for machine and/or hand-harvesting operations.

AB  - Grasshoppers are insect herbivores common to grassland ecosystems worldwide. They comprise important components of biodiversity, contribute significantly to grassland function, and periodically exhibit both local and large-scale outbreaks. Because of grasshoppers' potential economic importance as competitors with ungulate grazers for rangeland forage, periodic grasshopper outbreaks in western US rangeland often elicit intervention over large areas in the form of chemical control. Available information combined with alternative underlying conceptual frameworks suggests that new approaches for sustainable management of grasshopper outbreaks in US rangeland should be pursued. There are many reasons to believe that approaches to grasshopper management that aim to reduce or prevent outbreaks are possible. These habitat manipulation tactics maintain existing ecological feedbacks responsible for sustaining populations at economically nonthreatening levels. Sustainable strategies to minimize the likelihood and extent of grasshopper outbreaks while limiting the need for chemical intervention are a rational and attainable goal for managing grasslands as renewable resources.

AB  - The human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a glycoprotein with important clinical applications for the treatment of neutropenia and aplastic anemia and reducing infections associated with bone marrow transplants. We evaluated the potential for using a potato virus X (PVX) viral vector system for efficient expression of the biologically functional GM-CSF protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The GM-CSF gene was cloned into PVX viral expression vector, driven with the CaMV 35S promoter. Gene transfer was accomplished by inoculating N. benthamiana leaves with the plasmid DNA of PVX vector containing the GM-CSF gene. The expression level of the recombinant GM-CSF protein was determined with ELISA and its size was confirmed by Western blot analysis. The results showed that: (1) leaf age significantly affects GM-CSF protein concentration with younger leaves accumulating 19.8 mg g−1 soluble protein which is 2.6 times the concentration in older leaves, (2) recombinant protein accumulation within a given leaf declined slightly over time but was not significantly different between 7 and 11 days post-inoculation (dpi), and (3) the two leaves immediately above the inoculated leaves play an important role for GM-CSF accumulation in the younger leaves. Protein extracts of infected N. benthamiana leaves contained recombinant human GM-CSF protein in concentrations of up to 2% of total soluble protein, but only when the pair of leaves immediately above the inoculated leaves remained intact. The recombinant protein actively stimulated the growth of human TF-1 cells suggesting that the recombinant human GM-CSF expressed via PVX viral vector was biologically active. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides that contaminates maize. FB1 has been linked to a number of human and animal mycotoxicoses worldwide. Despite its significance, our understanding of the FB1 biosynthesis regulatory mechanisms is limited. Here, we describe F. verticillioides GBP1, encoding a monomeric G-protein, and its role in FB1 biosynthesis. GBP1 was discovered as an expressed sequence tag (EST) up-regulated in the F. verticillioides fcc1 mutant that showed reduced conidiation and no FB1 biosynthesis when grown on maize kernels. Sequence analysis showed that GBP1 encodes a putative 368-amino-acid protein with similarity to DRG and Obg subclasses of G-proteins that are involved in development and stress responses. A GBP1 knockout mutant ( Δgbp1) exhibited normal growth, but increased FB1 production (> 58%) compared with the wild-type when grown on corn kernels. Complementation of Δgbp1 with the wild-type GBP1 gene restored FB1 production levels to that of the wild-type. Our data indicate that GBP1 is negatively associated with FB1 biosynthesis but not with conidiation in F. verticillioides. The deletion of GBP1 led to up-regulation of key FB1 biosynthetic genes, FUM1 and FUM8, suggesting that the increased FB1 production in Δgbp1 is due to over-expression of FUM genes.

T1  - Long-term growth of soybean at elevated [CO2] does not cause acclimation of stomatal conductance under fully open-air conditions.

AB  - Accurately predicting plant function and global biogeochemical cycles later in this century will be complicated if stomatal conductance ( gs) acclimates to growth at elevated [CO2], in the sense of a long-term alteration of the response of gs to [CO2], humidity ( h) and/or photosynthetic rate ( A). If so, photosynthetic and stomatal models will require parameterization at each growth [CO2] of interest. Photosynthetic acclimation to long-term growth at elevated [CO2] occurs frequently. Acclimation of gs has rarely been examined, even though stomatal density commonly changes with growth [CO2]. Soybean was grown under field conditions at ambient [CO2] (378  µmol mol−1) and elevated [CO2] (552  µmol mol−1) using free-air [CO2] enrichment (FACE). This study tested for stomatal acclimation by parameterizing and validating the widely used Ball et al. model (1987 , Progress in Photosynthesis Research, vol IV, 221–224) with measurements of leaf gas exchange. The dependence of gs on A, h and [CO2] at the leaf surface was unaltered by long-term growth at elevated [CO2]. This suggests that the commonly observed decrease in gs under elevated [CO2] is due entirely to the direct instantaneous effect of [CO2] on gs and that there is no longer-term acclimation of gs independent of photosynthetic acclimation. The model accurately predicted gs for soybean growing under ambient and elevated [CO2] in the field. Model parameters under ambient and elevated [CO2] were indistinguishable, demonstrating that stomatal function under ambient and elevated [CO2] could be modelled without the need for parameterization at each growth [CO2].

AB  - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common birth defect with a high mortality and morbidity. There have been few studies that have assessed copy number changes in CDH. We present array comparative genomic hybridization data for 29 CDH patients to identify and map chromosome aberrations in this disease. Three patients with 15q26.1–15q26.2 deletions had heterogeneous breakpoints that overlapped with the critical 4 Mb region previously delineated for CDH, confirming 15q26.1–15q26.2 as a critical region for CDH. The three other most compelling CDH-critical regions for genomic deletions based on these data and a literature review are located at chromosomes 8p23.1, 4p16.3–4pter, and 1q41–1q42.1. Based on these recurrent deletions at 15q26.1–15q26.2, we hypothesized that loss-of-function mutations in a gene or genes from this region could cause CDH and sequenced six candidate genes from this region in more than 100 patients with CDH. For three of these genes (CHD2, ARRDC4, and RGMA), we identified missense changes and that were not identified in normal controls; however, none of these alterations appeared unambiguously causal with CDH. These data suggest that CDH caused by chromosome deletions at 15q26.2 may arise because of a contiguous gene deletion syndrome or may have a multifactorial etiology. In addition, there is evidence for substantial genetic heterogeneity in CDH and diaphragmatic hernias can be non-penetrant in patients who have deletions involving CDH-critical regions.

AB  - Although primary and memory responses against bacteria and viruses have been studied extensively, T helper type 2 (TH2) effector mechanisms leading to host protection against helminthic parasites remain elusive. Examination of the intestinal epithelial submucosa of mice after primary and secondary infections by a natural gastrointestinal parasite revealed a distinct immune-cell infiltrate after challenge, featuring interleukin-4–expressing memory CD4+ T cells that induced IL-4 receptorhi (IL-4Rhi) CD206+ alternatively activated macrophages. In turn, these alternatively activated macrophages (AAMacs) functioned as important effector cells of the protective memory response contributing to parasite elimination, demonstrating a previously unknown mechanism for host protection against intestinal helminths.

AB  - New diseases of humans, animals and plants emerge regularly. Enhanced virulence on a new host can be facilitated by the acquisition of novel virulence factors. Interspecific gene transfer is known to be a source of such virulence factors in bacterial pathogens (often manifested as pathogenicity islands in the recipient organism) and it has been speculated that interspecific transfer of virulence factors may occur in fungal pathogens. Until now, no direct support has been available for this hypothesis. Here we present evidence that a gene encoding a critical virulence factor was transferred from one species of fungal pathogen to another. This gene transfer probably occurred just before 1941, creating a pathogen population with significantly enhanced virulence and leading to the emergence of a new damaging disease of wheat.

AB  - A major component in the regulatory network controlling fruit ripening is likely to be the gene at the tomato Colorless non-ripening (Cnr) locus. The Cnr mutation results in colorless fruits with a substantial loss of cell-to-cell adhesion. The nature of the mutation and the identity of the Cnr gene were previously unknown. Using positional cloning and virus-induced gene silencing, here we demonstrate that an SBP-box (SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein–like) gene resides at the Cnr locus. Furthermore, the Cnr phenotype results from a spontaneous epigenetic change in the SBP-box promoter. The discovery that Cnr is an epimutation was unexpected, as very few spontaneous epimutations have been described in plants. This study demonstrates that an SBP-box gene is critical for normal ripening and highlights the likely importance of epialleles in plant development and the generation of natural variation.

AB  - 1. This study first measured the effect of plant (radish, pepper, and wheat), aphid–plant combination (the green peach aphid Myzus persicae on pepper and radish, and the bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on wheat) and the host on which Aphidius colemani was reared (the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii on cucumber, M. persicae on radish and pepper, and R. padi on wheat) on host choice behaviour of the parasitoid and the performance of its offspring. Then, the effect of predator presence ( Coccinella undecimpunctata larvae) on host preference of the wasps was tested. 2. When reared on M. persicae on either radish or pepper , wasps preferred the aphid–plant combination from which they had emerged. Wasps reared on A. gossypii (naïve to all hosts offered) and R. padi preferred to parasitise M. persicae on radish and M. persicae on either radish or pepper, respectively. Rhopalosiphum padi on wheat was the least preferred and also the least suitable host, as determined by offspring body size. 3. Contrary to expectations, the presence of predators did not influence the host choice of A. colemani, even when predator-free plants were offered nearby. Results indicate that wasps are more likely to remain in some host systems but not in others, even when facing risk of predation. 4. Results are discussed in respect to field data and the relative importance of risk of predation and host preference to wasp fitness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plant growth is typically stimulated at elevated carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), but a sustained and maximal stimulation of growth requires acquisition of additional N in proportion to the additional C fixed at elevated [CO2]. We hypothesized that legumes would be able to avoid N limitation at elevated [CO2]. Soybean was grown without N fertilizer from germination to final senescence at elevated [CO2] over two growing seasons under fully open-air conditions, providing a model legume system. Measurements of photosynthesis and foliar carbohydrate content showed that plants growing at elevated [CO2] had a c. 25% increase in the daily integral of photosynthesis and c. 58% increase in foliar carbohydrate content, suggesting that plants at elevated [CO2] had a surplus of photosynthate. Soybeans had a low leaf N content at the beginning of the season, which was a further c. 17% lower at elevated [CO2]. In the middle of the season, ureide, total amino acid and N content increased markedly, and the effect of elevated [CO2] on leaf N content disappeared. Analysis of individual amino acid levels supported the conclusion that plants at elevated [CO2] overcame an early-season N limitation. These soybean plants showed a c. 16% increase in dry mass at final harvest and showed no significant effect of elevated [CO2] on leaf N, protein or total amino acid content in the latter part of the season. One possible explanation for these findings is that N fixation had increased, and that these plants had acclimated to the increased N demand at elevated [CO2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Respiration (carbon efflux) by terrestrial ecosystems is a major component of the global carbon (C) cycle, but the response of C efflux to atmospheric CO2 enrichment remains uncertain. Respiration may respond directly to an increase in the availability of C substrates at high CO2, but also may be affected indirectly by a CO2-mediated alteration in the amount by which respiration changes per unit of change in temperature or C uptake (sensitivity of respiration to temperature or C uptake). We measured CO2 fluxes continuously during the final 2 years of a 4-year experiment on C3/C4 grassland that was exposed to a 200–560 μmol mol−1 CO2 gradient. Flux measurements were used to determine whether CO2 treatment affected nighttime respiration rates and the response of ecosystem respiration to seasonal changes in net C uptake and air temperature. Increasing CO2 from subambient to elevated concentrations stimulated grassland respiration at night by increasing the net amount of C fixed during daylight and by increasing either the sensitivity of C efflux to daily changes in C fixation or the respiration rate in the absence of C uptake (basal ecosystem respiration rate). These latter two changes contributed to a 30–47% increase in the ratio of nighttime respiration to daytime net C influx as CO2 increased from subamient to elevated concentrations. Daily changes in net C uptake were highly correlated with variation in temperature, meaning that the shared contribution of C uptake and temperature in explaining variance in respiration rates was large. Statistically controlling for collinearity between temperature and C uptake reduced the effect of a given change in C influx on respiration. Conversely, CO2 treatment did not affect the response of grassland respiration to seasonal variation in temperature. Elevating CO2 concentration increased grassland respiration rates by increasing both net C input and respiration per unit of C input. A better understanding of how C efflux varies with substrate supply thus may be required to accurately assess the C balance of terrestrial ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantify seven species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in alfalfa silage prepared in the presence or absence of four commercial inoculants and in uninoculated corn stover harvested and stored under a variety of field conditions. Species-specific PCR primers were designed based on recA gene sequences. Commercial inoculants improved the quality of alfalfa silage, but species corresponding to those in the inoculants displayed variations in persistence over the next 96 h. Lactobacillus brevis was the most abundant LAB (12 to 32% of total sample DNA) in all of the alfalfa silages by 96 h. Modest populations (up to 10%) of Lactobacillus plantarum were also observed in inoculated silages. Pediococcus pentosaceus populations increased over time but did not exceed 2% of the total. Small populations (0.1 to 1%) of Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactococcus lactis were observed in all silages, while Lactobacillus pentosus and Enterococcus faecium were near or below detection limits. Corn stover generally displayed higher populations of L. plantarum and L. brevis and lower populations of other LAB species. The data illustrate the utility of RT-PCR for quantifying individual species of LAB in conserved forages prepared under a wide variety of conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the fungal phylum Ascomycota, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals has been gained and lost repeatedly during phylogenesis. In monocotyledonous barley, loss-of-function mlo alleles result in effective immunity against the Ascomycete Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei, the causal agent of powdery mildew disease. However, mlo-based disease resistance has been considered a barley-specific phenomenon to date. Here, we demonstrate a conserved requirement for MLO proteins in powdery mildew pathogenesis in the dicotyledonous plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. Epistasis analysis showed that mlo resistance in A. thaliana does not involve the signaling molecules ethylene, jasmonic acid or salicylic acid, but requires a syntaxin, glycosyl hydrolase and ABC transporter. These findings imply that a common host cell entry mechanism of powdery mildew fungi evolved once and at least 200 million years ago, suggesting that within the Erysiphales (powdery mildews) the ability to cause disease has been a stable trait throughout phylogenesis.

AB  - Salmon carcass addition to streams is expected to increase stream productivity at multiple trophic levels. This study examined stream nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon), epilithic biofilm (ash-free dry mass and chlorophyll a), leaf-litter decomposition, and macroinvertebrate (density and biomass) responses to carcass addition in three headwater streams of southwestern Washington State, USA. We used stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) to trace incorporation of salmon-derived (SD) nutrients into stream food webs. SD nutrients were assimilated by biofilm, benthic insects (Perlidae and Limnephilidae spp.), and age-1 steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri). SD nutrients peaked ~2 weeks after carcass addition for insects and fish feeding on carcasses, but indirect uptake of SD nutrients by biofilm and insects was delayed by ~2 months. A strong stable isotope signal did not always correspond with measurable biological change. At reaches 1050 m downstream from carcasses, ammonium concentration, leaf-litter decomposition, and benthic insect density all increased relative to upstream control sites. The strongest responses and greatest SD-nutrient uptake were observed 10 m from decomposing carcasses, with effects generally decreasing to undetectable levels 250 m downstream. Carcass addition to headwater streams can have a transient effect on primary and secondary trophic levels, but responses may be limited to specific taxa near carcass locations.

AB  - L'addition de carcasses de saumons dans les cours d'eau doit augmenter, croit-on, la productivité du milieu à plusieurs niveaux trophiques. Notre étude examine les réactions des nutriments du cours d'eau (azote, phosphore et carbone), du biofilm épilithique (masse sèche sans les cendres et chlorophylle a), de la décomposition de la litière de feuilles et des macroinvertébrés (densité et biomasse) à l'addition de carcasses dans trois cours d'eau d'amont du sud-ouest de l'état de Washington, .-U. Nous utilisons les isotopes stables (δ13C et δ15N) pour suivre l'incorporation des nutriments dérivés des saumons (nutriments SD) dans les réseaux alimentaires des cours d'eau. Les nutriments SD sont assimilés par le biofilm, les insectes benthiques (des espèces de Perlidae et de Limnephilidae) et les truites arc-en-ciel anadromes (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) d'âge 1. Les nutriments SD atteignent un sommet ~2 semaines après l'addition des carcasses chez les insectes et les poissons qui se nourrissent de carcasses, mais l'incorporation indirecte des nutriments SD par le biofilm et les insectes est retardée de ~2 mois. Un fort signal d'isotopes stables ne correspond pas toujours à un changement biologique mesurable. Dans des secteurs 1050 m en aval des carcasses, les concentrations d'ammonium, la décomposition de la litière de feuilles et la densité des insectes benthiques augmentent toutes par rapport aux sites témoins d'amont. Les réactions les plus fortes et l'incorporation la plus importante de nutriments SD s'observent à 10 m des carcasses en décomposition et les effets décroissent généralement à des niveaux non décelables 250 m en aval. L'addition de carcasses dans les cours d'eau d'amont peut avoir un effet transitoire sur les niveaux trophiques primaire et secondaire, mais les effets peuvent se limiter à des taxons particuliers près de l'emplacement des carcasses.

AB  - The Arabidopsis aberrant testa shape ( ats) mutant produces a single integument instead of the two integuments seen in wild-type ovules. Cellular anatomy and patterns of marker gene expression indicate that the single integument results from congenital fusion of the two integuments of the wild type. Isolation of the ATS locus showed it to encode a member of the KANADI (KAN) family of putative transcription factors, previously referred to as KAN4. ATS was expressed at the border between the two integuments at the time of their initiation, with expression later confined to the abaxial layer of the inner integument. In an inner no outer ( ino) mutant background, where an outer integument does not form, the ats mutation led to amorphous inner integument growth. The kan1 kan2 double mutant exhibits a similar amorphous growth of the outer integument without affecting inner integument growth. We hypothesize that ATS and KAN1/KAN2 play similar roles in the specification of polarity in the inner and outer integuments, respectively, that parallel the known roles of KAN proteins in promoting abaxial identity during leaf development. INO and other members of the YABBY gene family have been hypothesized to have similar parallel roles in outer integument and leaf development. Together, these two hypotheses lead us to propose a model for normal integument growth that also explains the described mutant phenotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Influenza A virus infects various animal species and transmits among different hosts, especially between humans and swine. Swine may serve as a mixing vessel to create new reassortants that could infect humans. Thus, monitoring and characterizing influenza viruses in swine are important in preventing interspecies transmission. We report the emergence and characterization of a novel H3N1 subtype of swine influenza virus (SIV) in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the H3N1 SIVs may have acquired the hemagglutinin gene from an H3N2 turkey isolate, the neuraminidase gene from a human H1N1 isolate, and the remaining genes from currently circulating SIVs. The H3N1 SIVs were antigenically related to the turkey virus. Lung lesions and nasal shedding occurred in swine infected with the H3N1 SIVs, suggesting the potential to transmit among swine and to humans. Further surveillance will help determine whether this novel subtype will continue to circulate in swine populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The US Wheat Genome Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, developed the first large public Triticeae expressed sequence tag (EST) resource. Altogether, 116 272 ESTs were produced, comprising 100 674 5′ ESTs and 15 598 3′ ESTs. These ESTs were derived from 42 cDNA libraries, which were created from hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its close relatives, including diploid wheat (T. monococcum L. and Aegilops speltoides L.), tetraploid wheat (T. turgidum L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.), using tissues collected from various stages of plant growth and development and under diverse regimes of abiotic and biotic stress treatments. ESTs were assembled into 18 876 contigs and 23 034 singletons, or 41 910 wheat unigenes. Over 90% of the contigs contained fewer than 10 EST members, implying that the ESTs represented a diverse selection of genes and that genes expressed at low and moderate to high levels were well sampled. Statistical methods were used to study the correlation of gene expression patterns, based on the ESTs clustered in the1536 contigs that contained at least 10 5′ EST members and thus representing the most abundant genes expressed in wheat. Analysis further identified genes in wheat that were significantly upregulated (p < 0.05) in tissues under various abiotic stresses when compared with control tissues. Though the function annotation cannot be assigned for many of these genes, it is likely that they play a role associated with the stress response. This study predicted the possible functionality for 4% of total wheat unigenes, which leaves the remaining 96% with their functional roles and expression patterns largely unknown. Nonetheless, the EST data generated in this project provide a diverse and rich source for gene discovery in wheat. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le projet américain sur le génome du blé, financé par la « National Science Foundation », a développé la première grande collection publique d'EST chez les hordées. Au total, 116 272 EST ont été produits à partir de 42 banques d'ADNc du blé hexaploïde (Triticum aestivum L.) ou de ses proches parents dont des blés diploïdes (T. monococcum L. et Aegilops speltoides L.), tétraploïdes (T. turgidum L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.). Les ADNc étaient issus de tissus prélevés à divers stades de croissance ou de développement et soumis à différents stress biotiques ou abiotiques. Les EST ont été assemblés pour former 18 876 contigs et 23 034 singulons pour un total de 41 910 unigènes. Plus de 90 % des contigs comprenaient moins de 10 EST, ce qui implique que les EST représentaient une vaste gamme de gènes et que les gènes modérément ou faiblement exprimés étaient bien échantillonnés. Des analyses statistiques ont été employées pour étudier la corrélation entre les motifs d'expression génique en s'appuyant sur les EST compris au sein des 1 536 contigs qui comptaient au moins 10 EST en 5′ (ceux qui représentent vraisemblablement les gènes le plus fortement exprimés chez le blé). Des analyses ont également permis d'identifier des gènes dont l'expression était significativement plus élevée (p < 0,05) au sein de tissus ayant subi divers stress par rapport aux tissus témoins. Bien qu'on ne puisse assigner aucune fonction à plusieurs de ces gènes, il est probable qu'ils jouent un rôle dans la réponse aux stress. Cette étude a permis de prédire une fonction pour 4 % des unigènes chez le blé, ce qui laisse 96 % de gènes pour lesquels la fonction demeure largement inconnue. Néanmoins, les données produites sur les EST au cours de ce travail constituent une vaste et riche ressource pour la découverte de gènes chez le blé. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Forest trees have gained much attention in recent years as nonclassical model eukaryotes for population, evolutionary and ecological genomic studies. Because of low domestication, large open-pollinated native populations, and high levels of both genetic and phenotypic variation, they are ideal organisms to unveil the molecular basis of population adaptive divergence in nature. Population genomics, in its broad-sense definition, is an emerging discipline that combines genome-wide sampling with traditional population genetic approaches to understanding evolution. Here we briefly review traditional methods of studying adaptive genetic variation in forest trees, and describe a new, integrated population genomics approach. First, alleles (haplotypes) at candidate genes for adaptive traits and their effects on phenotypes need to be characterized via sequencing and association mapping. At this stage, functional genomics can assist in understanding gene action and regulation by providing detailed transcriptional profiles. Second, frequencies of alleles in native populations for causative single-nucleotide polymorphisms are estimated to identify patterns of adaptive variation across heterogeneous environments. Population genomics, through deciphering allelic effects on phenotypes and identifying patterns of adaptive variation at the landscape level, will in the future constitute a useful tool, if cost-effective, to design conservation strategies for forest trees.

AB  - The aim was to assess the inhibitory effect of a series of naturally occurring trans -resveratrol analogues on cytochromes P450, namely CYP1A2 and CYP2E1, in vitro in order to analyse any structure–activity relationships. 3,5-Dimethoxy-4′-hydroxy- trans -stilbene (pterostilbene), 3,4′,5-trimethoxy- trans -stilbene (TMS), 3,4′-dihydroxy-5-methoxy- trans -stilbene (3,4′-DH-5-MS) and 3,5-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy- trans -stilbene (3,5-DH-4′-MS) inhibited the activity of CYP1A2, with K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;0.39, 0.79, 0.94 and 1.04&ThickSpace;µM, respectively. Piceatannol (3,3′,4,5′-tetrahydroxy- trans -stilbene) was the least potent inhibitor of CYP1A2 with a K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;9.67&ThickSpace;µM. Piceatannol and TMS in the concentration range 1–100&ThickSpace;µM did not inhibit CYP2E1 activity. The activity of this enzyme likewise was not significantly influenced by pterostilbene and 3,5-DH-4′-MS with IC 50 &ThickSpace;>&ThickSpace;100&ThickSpace;µM, whereas 3,4′-DH-5-MS appeared to be a moderately potent, competitive inhibitor of CYP2E1 ( K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;42.6&ThickSpace;µM). Structure–activity relationship analysis leads to the conclusion that the substitution of hydroxy groups of resveratrol with methoxy groups increases the inhibition of CYP1A2, yet the number and position of methylation are not essential. However, the 4′-hydroxy group in trans -resveratrol and its analogues may play an important role in the interaction with a binding site of CYP2E1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The expression of type I membrane Fas receptors on the surface of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) theronts and the possible association between Fas expression and theront apoptosis induced by the immune antibody was examined. Fas receptors were detected on the theront surface using fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody against Fas. Fas-positive theronts significantly increased with time during in vitro incubation and with increasing theront concentration. Furthermore, the immune cutaneous antibody induced theront apoptosis; however, Fas ligand did not. A highly significant correlation was noted between theront Fas expression and immune cutaneous antibody-induced theront apoptosis. Numbers of apoptotic theronts increased with increasing number of Fas-positive theronts. The data indicated that theront apoptosis induced by immune cutaneous antibody appears to be positively correlated with the expression of Fas on the surface of Ich theronts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Inhibitors targeting pancreatic α-amylase and intestinal α-glucosidases delay glucose production following digestion and are currently used in the treatment of Type II diabetes. Maltase-glucoamylase (MGA), a family 31 glycoside hydrolase, is an α-glucosidase anchored in the membrane of small intestinal epithelial cells responsible for the final step of mammalian starch digestion leading to the release of glucose. This paper reports the production and purification of active human recombinant MGA amino terminal catalytic domain (MGAnt) from two different eukaryotic cell culture systems. MGAnt overexpressed in Drosophila cells was of quality and quantity suitable for kinetic and inhibition studies as well as future structural studies. Inhibition of MGAnt was tested with a group of prospective α-glucosidase inhibitors modeled after salacinol, a naturally occurring α-glucosidase inhibitor, and acarbose, a currently prescribed antidiabetic agent. Four synthetic inhibitors that bind and inhibit MGAnt activity better than acarbose, and at comparable levels to salacinol, were found. The inhibitors are derivatives of salacinol that contain either a selenium atom in place of sulfur in the five-membered ring, or a longer polyhydroxylated, sulfated chain than salacinol. Six-membered ring derivatives of salacinol and compounds modeled after miglitol were much less effective as MGAnt inhibitors. These results provide information on the inhibitory profile of MGAnt that will guide the development of new compounds having antidiabetic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Transcriptional enhancers are a major class of functional element embedded in the vast non-coding portion of the human genome. Acting over large genomic distances, enhancers play critical roles in the tissue and cell type-specific regulation of genes, and there is mounting evidence that they contribute to the aetiology of many human diseases. Methods for genome-wide mapping of enhancer regions are now available, but the functional architecture contained within human enhancer elements remains unclear. Here, we review recent approaches aimed at understanding the functional anatomy of individual enhancer elements, using systematic qualitative and quantitative assessments of mammalian enhancer variants in cultured cells and in vivo. These studies provide direct insight into common architectural characteristics of enhancers including the presence of multiple transcription factor-binding sites and the mixture of both transcriptionally activating and repressing domains within the same enhancer. Despite such progress in understanding the functional composition of enhancers, the inherent complexities of enhancer anatomy continue to limit our ability to predict the impact of sequence changes on in vivo enhancer function. While providing an initial glimpse into the mutability of mammalian enhancers, these observations highlight the continued need for experimental enhancer assessment as genome sequencing becomes routine in the clinic.

AB  - Photosynthetic reaction centers are sensitive to high light conditions, which can cause damage because of the formation of reactive oxygen species. To prevent high-light induced damage, cyanobacteria have developed photoprotective mechanisms. One involves a photoactive carotenoid protein that decreases the transfer of excess energy to the reaction centers. This protein, the orange carotenoid protein (OCP), is present in most cyanobacterial strains; it is activated by high light conditions and able to dissipate excess energy at the site of the light-harvesting antennae, the phycobilisomes. Restoration of normal antenna capacity involves the fluorescence recovery protein (FRP). The FRP acts to dissociate the OCP from the phycobilisomes by accelerating the conversion of the active red OCP to the inactive orange form. We have determined the 3D crystal structure of the FRP at 2.5 Å resolution. Remarkably, the FRP is found in two very different conformational and oligomeric states in the same crystal. Based on amino acid conservation analysis, activity assays of FRP mutants, FRP:OCP docking simulations, and coimmunoprecipitation experiments, we conclude that the dimer is the active form. The second form, a tetramer, may be an inactive form of FRP. In addition, we have identified a surface patch of highly conserved residues and shown that those residues are essential to FRP activity.

AB  - Small ruminant lentiviruses include members that infect sheep (ovine lentivirus [OvLV]; also known as ovine progressive pneumonia virus/maedi-visna virus) and goats (caprine arthritis encephalitis virus [CAEV]). Breed differences in seroprevalence and proviral concentration of OvLV had suggested a strong genetic component in susceptibility to infection by OvLV in sheep. A genetic marker test for susceptibility to OvLV has been developed recently based on the TMEM154 gene with validation data from over 2,800 sheep representing nine cohorts. While no single genotype has been shown to have complete resistance to OvLV, consistent association in thousands of sheep from multiple breeds and management conditions highlight a new strategy for intervention by selective breeding. This genetic marker-assisted selection (MAS) has the potential to be a useful addition to existing viral control measures. Further, the discovery of multiple additional genomic regions associated with susceptibility to or control of OvLV suggests that additional genetic marker tests may be developed to extend the reach of MAS in the future. This review will cover the strengths and limitations of existing data from host genetics as an intervention and outline additional questions for future genetic research in sheep, goats, small ruminant lentiviruses, and their host-pathogen interactions.

AB  - Some housing systems on dairy farms can result in long-term chronic pain. The effects of acute pain on immunity have been explored, but chronic pain's influence on immune responses is still poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine chronic effects of flooring on immune responses and production in freestall housing for dairy cows. Thirty heifers were studied from before calving as first-calf heifers until d 180 of their second lactation. Treatments were rubber (Kraiburg; Agromatic Inc., Fond du Lac, WI) flooring or concrete with diamond grooves in a freestall barn, each in 2 quadrants of the barn. Heifers entered the treatments after calving, so the system was dynamic and each cow was considered an experimental unit. At the end of the first lactation, cows were housed in a bedded pack barn with pasture access until calving was imminent. At that time, they returned to their assigned treatment, but not necessarily into the same quadrant. Production, reproduction, cortisol, acute-phase proteins, and health data were recorded throughout lactation 1, locomotion was scored weekly, and hoof scoring and care was conducted on d 60 and 180 of lactations 1 and 2, and quantitative real-time-PCR of blood leukocytes was analyzed in mid lactation of lactation 1. Mature-equivalent milk fat, milk protein, and protein percentages during the first lactation were greater for cows on the rubber flooring. Hoof and leg therapy treatments per cow were fewer for rubber floor-housed cows. Locomotion scores were less for cows housed on rubber during the second lactation. White blood cell counts were less for cows housed on rubber, and caused by greater lymphocyte counts for cows housed on concrete. The possibility of chronic inflammation was substantiated by less IL-1β and more IL-1 receptor antagonists for cows housed on rubber at d 150 in the second lactation. Cortisol and acute-phase proteins did not differ between the treatments. Interferon-γ, IL-12, the modulator of tissue reconstruction (B-cell-transforming growth factor 1), and pain-modulating neurokinin (tachykinin 1) were not different at d 105. These data show indicators of chronic inflammation for cows housed on the concrete flooring compared with those housed on rubber. Implications for the use of rubber flooring in freestall barns are broader than just lameness and may affect many aspects of cow physiology and production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is a promising technology for the use of coal in a clean and efficient manner. In order to maintain the overall efficiency of the IGCC process, it is necessary to clean the fuel gas of contaminants (sulfur, trace compounds) at warm (150–540°C) to hot (>540°C) temperatures. Current technologies for trace contaminant (such as mercury) removal, primarily activated carbon based sorbents, begin to lose effectiveness above 100°C, creating the need to develop sorbents effective at elevated temperatures. As trace elements are of particular environmental concern, previous work by this group has focused on the development of a Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent for Hg removal. This paper extends the research to Se (as hydrogen selenide, H2Se), As (as arsine, AsH3), and P (as phosphine, PH3) which thermodynamic studies indicate are present as gaseous species under gasification conditions. Experiments performed under ambient conditions in He on 20wt.% Pd/γ-Al2O3 indicate the sorbent can remove the target contaminants. Further work is performed using a 5wt.% Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent in a simulated fuel gas (H2, CO, CO2, N2 and H2S) in both single and multiple contaminant atmospheres to gauge sorbent performance characteristics. The impact of H2O, Hg and temperature on sorbent performance is explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Bio-based polyols from epoxidized soybean oil and castor oil fatty acid were developed using an environmentally friendly, solvent-free/catalyst-free method. The effects of the molar ratios of the carboxyl to the epoxy groups, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the polyols’ structures were systematically studied. Subsequently, polyurethane films were prepared from these green polyols. Properties of the new, soy-castor oil based polyurethane films were compared with two other polyurethane films prepared from castor oil and methoxylated soybean oil polyol, respectively. Thermal and mechanical tests showed that the polyurethane films prepared from the new polyols exhibited higher glass transition temperatures, tensile strength, Young's modulus, and thermal stability because of the higher degree of cross-linking in the new polyols. Moreover, the novel polyols, prepared using the solvent-free and catalyst-free synthetic route, were 100% bio-based and facilitate a more environmentally friendly and economical process than conventional soy-based polyols used for polyurethane production.

AB  - Aminopyralid is used in Alaska to control certain invasive weed species; however it appears to have an extended soil half-life in interior Alaska resulting in carry-over injury in potatoes. Field studies at three experiment stations in Delta Junction, Fairbanks, and Palmer, Alaska were established to determine the dose-response of weeds and above and below ground potato growth to soil-applied aminopyralid (0, 8, 15, 31, 62, and 123 g ae ha) . Both prostrate knotweed and narrowleaf hawksbeard were susceptible to aminopyralid. At Delta Junction and Fairbanks, visual injury of potatoes greater than 25 % was observed at 15 g ae ha aminopyralid, whereas at Palmer visual injury was greater than 40 % at 8 g ae ha, the lowest rate tested. Potato tuber production was reduced by aminopyralid at rates of 15 g ae ha and above at both Delta Junction and Palmer. Sub-samples of potato tubers from Delta Junction and Palmer were analyzed for aminopyralid content and grown out to determine if aminopyralid in tubers would reduce subsequent growth. The aminopyralid concentration in potato tubers increased with increasing field application rates, with 30 ppb extracted from tubers grown at the highest application rate (123 g ae ha). All plants grown from daughter tubers except from control plots in Palmer exhibited injury symptoms. The number of emerged shoots, and shoot height decreased with increasing aminopyralid concentrations in the tuber, with injury rates greater than 70 % at 8 g ae ha. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Aminopyralid se usa en Alaska para controlar ciertas especies de malezas invasivas; no obstante, parece tener una extendida vida media en el suelo al interior de Alaska, resultando en un daño por residuos en papa. Se establecieron estudios de campo en tres estaciones experimentales en Delta Junction, Fairbanks y Palmer, Alaska, para determinar la dosis-respuesta de malezas y en el crecimiento aéreo y subterráneo de la papa, a la aplicación al suelo de aminopyralid (0, 8, 15, 31, 62 y 123 g ia ha). Tanto correhuelas rastreras como crepis fueron susceptibles a aminopyralid. En Delta Junction y Fairbanks, se observó el daño visual de la papa mayor al 25 % a 15 g ia ha del producto, mientras que en Palmer el daño visible fue mayor al 40 % a 8 g ia ha, que fue el nivel más bajo probado. La producción del tubérculo se redujo por el aminopyralid a niveles de 15 g ia ha y mayores tanto en Delta Junction como en Palmer. Se analizaron submuestras de tubérculos de Delta Junction y Palmer para el contenido de aminopyralid y se sembraron para determinar si el producto en los tubérculos pudiera reducir el crecimiento subsecuente. La concentración de aminopyralid en los tubérculos aumentó con el incremento en los niveles de aplicación en el campo, con 30 ppb obtenido de tubérculos cultivados bajo los niveles más altos aplicados (123 g ia ha). Todas las plantas cultivadas a partir de tubérculos hijos, excepto los lotes testigo, en Palmer, exhibieron síntomas de daño. El número de tallos emergidos y su altura disminuyó con el incremento en las concentraciones de aminopyralid en el tubérculo, con niveles de daño mayores al 70 % a 8 g ia ha.

AB  - Cell-mediated cytotoxic responses are critical for control of Marek's disease virus (MDV) infection and tumour development. However, the mechanisms of virus clearance mediated by cytotoxic responses in the bursa of Fabricius of chickens during MDV infection are not fully understood. In this study, the host cytotoxic responses during MDV infection in the bursa were investigated by examining the expression of genes in the cell lysis pathways. Partial up-regulation existed in the expression of the important cytolytic molecule granzyme A (GzmA), Fas, NK lysin and DNA repair enzyme Ape1, whereas little or no expression appeared in other cytolytic molecules, including perforin (PFN) and Fas ligand (FasL), and molecules involved in DNA repair and apoptosis in the bursa during MDV infection. These results suggest that less sustained cytotoxic activities are generated in the bursa of MDV-infected chickens. The findings of this study provide a more detailed insight into the host cytotoxic responses to MDV infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The complete set of unique γ-gliadin genes is described for the wheat cultivar Chinese Spring using a combination of expressed sequence tag (EST) and Roche 454 DNA sequences. Assemblies of Chinese Spring ESTs yielded 11 different γ-gliadin gene sequences. Two of the sequences encode identical polypeptides and are assumed to be the result of a recent gene duplication. One gene has a 3′ coding mutation that changes the reading frame in the final eight codons. A second assembly of Chinese Spring γ-gliadin sequences was generated using Roche 454 total genomic DNA sequences. The 454 assembly confirmed the same 11 active genes as the EST assembly plus two pseudogenes not represented by ESTs. These 13 γ-gliadin sequences represent the complete unique set of γ-gliadin genes for cv Chinese Spring, although not ruled out are additional genes that are exact duplications of these 13 genes. A comparison with the ESTs of two other hexaploid cultivars (Butte 86 and Recital) finds that the most active genes are present in all three cultivars, with exceptions likely due to too few ESTs for detection in Butte 86 and Recital. A comparison of the numbers of ESTs per gene indicates differential levels of expression within the γ-gliadin gene family. Genome assignments were made for 6 of the 13 Chinese Spring γ-gliadin genes, i.e., one assignment from a match to two γ-gliadin genes found within a tetraploid wheat A genome BAC and four genes that match four distinct γ-gliadin sequences assembled from Roche 454 sequences from Aegilops tauschii, the hexaploid wheat D-genome ancestor.

AB  - Fisheries managers use buybacks to reduce fleet capacity, conserve fish stocks, and accomplish other goals. In 2009, Maryland and Virginia conducted auctions to buy back commercial fishing licenses. The auctions in both States had similar timing, objectives, and target populations. The divergent designs of the auctions, however, provide a case study with which to investigate effective buyback practices. We compare and contrast the market designs used by Maryland and Virginia, and describe how those differing designs influenced the respective outcomes. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Reduced yields of ethanol due to bacterial contamination in fermentation cultures weaken the economics of biofuel production. Lactic acid bacteria are considered the most problematic, and surveys of commercial fuel ethanol facilities have found that species of Lactobacillus are predominant. Bacteriophage lytic enzymes are peptidoglycan hydrolases that can degrade the Gram positive cell wall when exposed externally and provide a novel source of antimicrobials that are highly refractory to resistance development. Results: The streptococcal phage LambdaSa2 (λSa2) endolysin demonstrated strong lytic activity towards 17 of 22 strains of lactobacilli, staphylococci or streptococci and maintained an optimal specific activity at pH 5.5 and in the presence of ≤ 5% ethanol (fermentation conditions) toward L. fermentum. Lactobacillus bacteriophage endolysins LysA, LysA2 and LysgaY showed exolytic activity towards 60% of the lactobacilli tested including four L. fermentum isolates from fuel ethanol fermentations. In turbidity reduction assays LysA was able to reduce optical density >75% for 50% of the sensitive strains and >50% for the remaining strains. LysA2 and LysgaY were only able to decrease cellular turbidity by <50%. Optimal specific activities were achieved for LysA, LysA2, and LysgaY at pH 5.5. The presence of ethanol (≤5%) did not reduce the lytic activity. Lysins were able to reduce both L. fermentum (BR0315-1) (?Sa2 endolysin) and L. reuteri (B-14171) (LysA) contaminants in mock fermentations of corn fiber hydrolysates. Conclusion: Bacteriophage lytic enzymes are strong candidates for application as antimicrobials to control lactic acid bacterial contamination in fuel ethanol fermentations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - In Romania, exposure to Toxoplasma gondii occurs twice as often in swine raised for familial consumption as in hunted wild boar, but occurs rarely, if ever, among fattening pigs raised in confinement.

AB  - A wide range of swine husbandry practices prevail in Romania: pork for human consumption is derived from hunting wild boar, from household rearing of small numbers of backyard pigs, and from indoor, industrial production of swine raised in confinement indoors. Romania thus represents an instructive place for evaluating the influence of animal management on the exposure risk of the zoonotic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. The fact that many Romanians eat uncooked or undercooked pork, especially when raised for household consumption, elevates the public health imperative to understand these risks. The aim of the study, therefore, was to evaluate the seroprevalence of T. gondii in pigs and wild boars from Romania. During 2008-2010, we collected 3,595 serum samples from pigs (fattening pigs, sows, backyard pigs) and 150 serum samples from wild boars. The sera were assayed by immunofluorescence antibody test (cutoff, 1:32) for antibodies against T. gondii. The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was 23.1 % (829/3,595) in pigs and 16 % (24/150) in wild boars. The seroprevalence was significantly higher ( p < 0.001) in backyard pigs (30.5 %; 783/2,564) than in sows (12.4 %; 46/371) or fattening pigs (none of the sera was positive). The management system (indoor pigs versus backyard pigs) represented the most important factor in the epidemiology of T. gondii infection. The proximity of backyard pigs to the definitive host of this parasite (cats), as well as their access to contaminated meat products, elevated their exposure risk well above that of pigs raised in confinement, and even above that of wild boars inhabiting sylvatic environments.

AB  - ObjectiveTo provide an overview of school food and nutrition monitoring from 1980 to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and data on school food availability in the USA.DesignA review of the history of school food and nutrition policy, monitoring and evaluation efforts in the USA over the past three decades.SettingUSA.SubjectsSchool food service, school districts and schools nationwide.ResultsThe school food environment in the USA is governed by a patchwork of federal, state and local laws and policies. The federal government has primary authority over the school meal programmes and has recently issued updated regulations governing the food and nutrient requirements for meals sold or served through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Competitive foods (i.e. foods and beverages sold/served outside the meal programmes) are governed primarily by state and district laws and policies, although new federal regulations are expected to set minimum standards in this area. The USA has a long history of data monitoring and evaluation funded by government and private foundations which has enabled decision makers to monitor progress and opportunities to improve the foods and beverages made available to students in school.ConclusionsSchool food-related monitoring and evaluation research has been highly influential in influencing legislation and policy, leading to improvements in the foods and beverages available to children at school as part of planned meals and individual items sold outside the meal programmes. The lessons learned from the US experience provide insights that may be valuable for implementation, monitoring and evaluation of school food programmes in other countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In the field of food contaminant analysis, the most significant development of recent years has been the integration of ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), coupled to tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS/MS), into analytical applications. In this review, we describe the emergence of UHPLC through technological advances. The implications of this new chromatographic technology for MS detection are discussed, as well as some of the remaining challenges in exploiting it for chemical residue applications. Finally, a comprehensive overview of published applications of UHPLC–MS in food contaminant analysis is presented, with a particular focus on veterinary drug residues. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An epoxy monomer of 4,4′-diglycidyloxybiphenyl (BP) was synthesized and cured with a tetra-functional amine, sulfanilamide (SAA), to produce novel liquid crystalline epoxy resins (LCERs). The thermal properties, liquid crystalline morphologies, and cure behavior of the monomer were studied using differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and polarized optical microscopy. The effects of curing condition on the glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, and dynamic mechanical properties of the resins were determined through thermomechanical analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis, respectively. The effects of cure condition on the formation of the liquid crystalline phase were also examined. The results show that BP is not a liquid crystalline epoxy monomer and an irreversible crystal transition exists in the temperature range of 120 °C–140 °C. The use of SAA results in the formation of a smectic liquid crystalline phase. Compared to the resins cured into an amorphous network, the LCERs exhibited a polydomain structure with individual liquid crystalline domain distributed in the resin matrix, which results in better thermomechanical properties.

AB  - We demonstrate fluorescence thermometry techniques with sensitivities approaching 10 mK⋅Hz-1/2 based on the spin-dependent photoluminescence of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. These techniques use dynamical decoupling protocols to convert thermally induced shifts in the NV center's spin resonance frequencies into large changes in its fluorescence. By mitigating interactions with nearby nuclear spins and facilitating selective thermal measurements, these protocols enhance the spin coherence times accessible for thermometry by 45-fold, corresponding to a 7-fold improvement in the NV center's temperature sensitivity. Moreover, we demonstrate these techniques can be applied over a broad temperature range and in both finite and near-zero magnetic field environments. This versatility suggests that the quantum coherence of single spins could be practically leveraged for sensitive thermometry in a wide variety of biological and microscale systems.

AB  - Domesticated crops experience strong human-mediated selection aimed at developing high-yielding varieties adapted to local conditions. To detect regions of the wheat genome subject to selection during improvement, we developed a high-throughput array to interrogate 9,000 gene-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in a worldwide sample of 2,994 accessions of hexaploid wheat including landraces and modern cultivars. Using a SNP-based diversity map we characterized the impact of crop improvement on genomic and geographic patterns of genetic diversity. We found evidence of a small population bottleneck and extensive use of ancestral variation often traceable to founders of cultivars from diverse geographic regions. Analyzing genetic differentiation among populations and the extent of haplotype sharing, we identified allelic variants subjected to selection during improvement. Selective sweeps were found around genes involved in the regulation of flowering time and phenology. An introgression of a wild relative-derived gene conferring resistance to a fungal pathogen was detected by haplotype-based analysis. Comparing selective sweeps identified in different populations, we show that selection likely acts on distinct targets or multiple functionally equivalent alleles in different portions of the geographic range of wheat. The majority of the selected alleles were present at low frequency in local populations, suggesting either weak selection pressure or temporal variation in the targets of directional selection during breeding probably associated with changing agricultural practices or environmental conditions. The developed SNP chip and map of genetic variation provide a resource for advancing wheat breeding and supporting future population genomic and genome-wide association studies in wheat.

AB  - The current limitations in genome sequencing technology require the construction of physical maps for high-quality draft sequences of large plant genomes, such as that of Aegilops tauschii, the wheat D-genome progenitor. To construct a physical map of the Ae. tauschii genome, we fingerprinted 461,706 bacterial artificial chromosome clones, assembled contigs, designed a 10K Ae. tauschii Infinium SNP array, constructed a 7,185-marker genetic map, and anchored on the map contigs totaling 4.03 Gb. Using whole genome shotgun reads, we extended the SNP marker sequences and found 17,093 genes and gene fragments. We showed that collinearity of the Ae. tauschii genes with Brachypodium distachyon, rice, and sorghum decreased with phylogenetic distance and that structural genome evolution rates have been high across all investigated lineages in subfamily Pooideae, including that of Brachypodieae. We obtained additional information about the evolution of the seven Triticeae chromosomes from 12 ancestral chromosomes and uncovered a pattern of centromere inactivation accompanying nested chromosome insertions in grasses. We showed that the density of noncollinear genes along the Ae. tauschii chromosomes positively correlates with recombination rates, suggested a cause, and showed that new genes, exemplified by disease resistance genes, are preferentially located in high-recombination chromosome regions.

AB  - Reports of Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) detected in marine environments have occurred since the early 1990s. This investigation sought to isolate and characterize S. aureus from marine waters and sand at a subtropical recreational beach, with and without bathers present, in order to investigate possible sources and to identify the risks to bathers of exposure to these organisms. During 40 days over 17 months, 1,001 water and 36 intertidal sand samples were collected by either bathers or investigators at a subtropical recreational beach. Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA were isolated and identified using selective growth media and an organism-specific molecular marker. Antimicrobial susceptibility, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec) type, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern, multi-locus sequence type (MLST), and staphylococcal protein A ( spa) type were characterized for all MRSA. S. aureus was isolated from 248 (37 %) bather nearby water samples at a concentration range of <2-780 colony forming units per ml, 102 (31 %) ambient water samples at a concentration range of <2-260 colony forming units per ml, and 9 (25 %) sand samples. Within the sand environment, S. aureus was isolated more often from above the intertidal zone than from intermittently wet or inundated sand. A total of 1334 MSSA were isolated from 37 sampling days and 22 MRSA were isolated from ten sampling days. Seventeen of the 22 MRSA were identified by PFGE as the community-associated MRSA USA300. MRSA isolates were all SCC mec type IVa, encompassed five spa types (t008, t064, t622, t688, and t723), two MLST types (ST8 and ST5), and 21 of 22 isolates carried the genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin. There was a correlation ( r = 0.45; p = 0.05) between the daily average number of bathers and S. aureus in the water; however, no association between exposure to S. aureus in these waters and reported illness was found. This report supports the concept that humans are a potential direct source for S. aureus in marine waters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) by immobilized polyethylenimine (PEI) on mesoporous silica was investigated in a fluid bed. The tests were performed to determine breakthrough behavior with varying bed temperature, flow rates and feed concentrations. Experimental breakthrough curves were analyzed using a theoretical 1D model developed by Bohart and Adams. The results showed that Bohart–Adams model was suitable for the normal description of breakthrough curve for the temperature ranges of 40–90°C. The maximum capacity increased with temperature up to 70°C and then decreased. The adsorption rate constant exhibited a negative temperature dependence decreasing as the temperature increased. Parameters characteristic of a fluid bed adsorber were inferred from these breakthrough curves including the breakthrough time, saturation time, critical reactor length, and length of mass transfer zone LMTZ. These parameters can be used to design fluid bed adsorption system without resolving the mechanistic contributions of dispersion, mixing, and intraparticle diffusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Low genetic diversity makes peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) very vulnerable to plant pathogens, causing severe yield loss and reduced seed quality. Several hundred partial genomic DNA sequences as nucleotide-binding-site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) resistance genes ( R) have been identified, but a small portion with expressed transcripts has been found. We aimed to identify resistance gene analogs (RGAs) from peanut expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and to develop polymorphic markers. The protein sequences of 54 known R genes were used to identify homologs from peanut ESTs from public databases. A total of 1,053 ESTs corresponding to six different classes of known R genes were recovered, and assembled 156 contigs and 229 singletons as peanut-expressed RGAs. There were 69 that encoded for NBS-LRR proteins, 191 that encoded for protein kinases, 82 that encoded for LRR-PK/transmembrane proteins, 28 that encoded for Toxin reductases, 11 that encoded for LRR-domain containing proteins and four that encoded for TM-domain containing proteins. Twenty-eight simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified from 25 peanut expressed RGAs. One SSR polymorphic marker (RGA121) was identified. Two polymerase chain reaction-based markers ( Ahsw-1 and Ahsw-2) developed from RGA013 were homologous to the Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) resistance gene. All three markers were mapped on the same linkage group AhIV. These expressed RGAs are the source for RGA-tagged marker development and identification of peanut resistance genes.

AB  - The viability of a five-strain cocktail of L isteria monocytogenes or E scherichia coli  O157: H7 was separately evaluated in/on goetta, a sausage-like meat product, both during extended refrigerated storage and following cooking. At 4C, L . monocytogenes numbers increased from ca. 1.4 to 8.4 log cfu/g over 90 days, whereas E . coli  O157: H7 numbers remained relatively unchanged. At 12C, L . monocytogenes and E . coli  O157: H7 numbers increased from ca. 1.4 to 9.0 log cfu/g over 28 days. After cooking for 2 to 6 min per side at an external temperature of 176.7C, reductions of 0.7 to 6.6 log cfu/g were observed for L . monocytogenes and E . coli  O157: H7. Although goetta supported the growth/survival of L . monocytogenes and E . coli  O157: H7 during refrigerated storage, a ≥5-log reduction of both pathogens was achieved by cooking the product for at least 5 min per side at the manufacturer's recommended internal temperature of 73.8C. Practical Applications Although there have been no reported recalls/illnesses associated with goetta, a specialty/ethnic meat enjoyed as a breakfast item, information is lacking to confirm if goetta would support the growth/survival of foodborne pathogens such as L.  monocytogenes and E.  coli  O157: H7. Thus, we determined if goetta would provide a favorable environment for persistence of these pathogens and, if so, would consumer reheating/storage practices be sufficient to kill any cells of either pathogen that might be present. Our data highlight the importance for proper storage and cooking of specialty/ethnic products such as goetta to extend shelf life and ensure wholesomeness. In this regard, it is significant from a public health perspective that goetta supported growth/survival of L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, and more importantly that cooking goetta at specific time/temperature combinations can achieve a ≥5-log reduction of both pathogens. These data may be useful for establishing consumer guidelines for storing and cooking/reheating goetta prior to consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Call rates on both a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) basis and an animal basis are used as measures of data quality and as screening tools for genomic studies and evaluations of dairy cattle. To investigate the relationship of SNP call rate and genotype accuracy for individual SNP, the correlation between percentages of missing genotypes and parent-progeny conflicts for each SNP was calculated for 103,313 Holsteins. Correlations ranged from 0.14 to 0.38 for the BovineSNP50 and BovineLD (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) and GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (Neogen Corp., Lincoln, NE) chips, with lower correlations for newer chips. For US genomic evaluations, genotypes are excluded for animals with a call rate of <90% across autosomal SNP or <80% across X-specific SNP. Mean call rate for 220,175 Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss genotypes was 99.6%. Animal genotypes with a call rate of ≤99% were examined from the US Department of Agriculture genotype database to determine how genotype call rate is related to accuracy of calls on an animal basis. Animal call rate was determined from SNP used in genomic evaluation and is the number of called autosomal and X-specific SNP genotypes divided by the number of SNP from that type of chip. To investigate the relationship of animal call rate and parentage validation, conflicts between a genotyped animal and its sire or dam were determined through a duo test (opposite homozygous SNP genotypes between sire and progeny; 1,374 animal genotypes) and a trio test (also including conflicts with dam and heterozygous SNP genotype for the animal when both parents are the same homozygote; 482 animal genotypes). When animal call rate was ≤80%, parentage validation was no longer reliable with the duo test. With the trio test, parentage validation was no longer reliable when animal call rate was ≤90%. To investigate how animal call rate was related to genotyping accuracy for animals with multiple genotypes, concordance between genotypes for 1,216 animals that had a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (low call rate) as well as a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (high call rate) were calculated by dividing the number of identical SNP genotype calls by the number of SNP that were called for both genotypes. Mean concordance between low- and high-call genotypes was >99% for a low call rate of >90% but decreased to 97% for a call rate of 86 to 90% and to 58% for a call rate of <60%. Edits on call rate reduce the use of incorrect SNP genotypes to calculate genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A 4-unit dual-flow continuous culture fermentor system was used to evaluate the effects of supplementing fresh herbage with a total mixed ration (TMR) or flax-seed on nutrient digestibility, fermentation profile, and bacterial N synthesis. Diets were randomly assigned to fermentors in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Each fermentor was fed a total of 70 g of dry matter/d of 1 of 4 diets: (1) 100% freeze-dried orchardgrass herbage (Dactylis glomerata L.; HERB), (2) 100% freeze-dried TMR (100TMR), (3) 50% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 50% TMR (50TMR), or (4) 90% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 10% ground flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.; FLAX). Preplanned, single degree of freedom orthogonal contrasts were constructed to assess the effects of feeding system (HERB vs. 100TMR), herbage supplementation (HERB vs. 50TMR + FLAX), and herbage supplemental source (50TMR vs. FLAX). Compared with the HERB diet, the 100TMR diet significantly reduced apparent digestibility of neutral detergent fiber. Herbage supplementation with 50TMR or FLAX significantly reduced or tended to reduce apparent digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber, suggesting that replacing high-quality, highly digestible fresh herbage with forage TMR likely caused depressions in nutrient digestibilities. Concentration of total volatile fatty acids, molar proportions of acetate, propionate, and isovalerate, as well as the acetate:propionate ratios were all significantly higher in fermentors fed 100TMR compared with HERB, likely in response to enhanced supply of fermentable energy. In general, feeding system, herbage supplementation, and type of supplementation did not affect N metabolism in the present study. The few significant changes in N metabolism (e.g., flows of total N and non-NH3-N) were primarily linked to increased fermentor N supply with feeding herbage-based diets (HERB and FLAX). Although TMR-based diets decreased nutrient digestibility slightly, TMR offered advantages in bacterial fermentation in relation to volatile fatty acid production, which could potentially translate into better animal performance. Flaxseed shows promise as an alternative supplement for herbage-based diets; however, further in vivo evaluation is needed to determine the optimal level to optimize animal production while reducing feed costs.

AB  - A 3-yr study evaluated the carryover effects of dairy heifer grazing experience on behavior and first-lactation performance as dairy cows. Forty-one Holstein and 23 Holstein-Jersey crossbred calves born between January and April 2008 were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (n = 8 per group, 2 groups per treatment) in a completely randomized design. Treatments were combinations of managing dairy heifers in confinement (CNF) or on pasture (PST): grazed yr 1 and 2 (PSTPST); grazed yr 1, but confined yr 2 (PSTCNF); confined yr 1 and grazed yr 2 (CNFPST); or confined yr 1 and 2 (CNFCNF). After calving, all heifers on all treatments were grazed as cows in yr 3. In yr 1, PSTPST and PSTCNF heifers were grazed for 41 d on Italian ryegrass pastures, whereas CNFPST and CNFCNF were housed in bedded-pack pens and fed a TMR. In yr 2, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers grazed Italian ryegrass pasture for 65 d, whereas PSTCNF and CNFCNF remained in confinement. In yr 2, a mid-trial assessment of heifer grazing behavior was made on PSTPST versus CNFPST heifers. Grazing activities were assessed by visual observation and heifer movement measured by portable global positioning system units. Heifers from all treatment groups subsequently calved between January and April in yr 3. All primiparous cows were then allocated to pastures by treatment group, grazed for 61 d, (May through July) in yr 3, with grazing behavior and milk production evaluated while grazing. In yr 2, heifers on the PSTPST treatment spent more time grazing than heifers on the CNFPST treatment (78 vs. 35% of the time) when first exposed to pasture (d 1). On d 1 to 3, PSTPST heifers walked a greater distance than CNFPST heifers; however, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers had similar daily grazing times and walking patterns after 3 d of pasture exposure in yr 2. As lactating cows (yr 3), cows with no (CNFCNF) grazing experience grazed less on d 1 compared with cows with (PSTPST, PSTCNF, or CNFPST) grazing experience. Day-1 grazing times in yr 3 were 62, 59, 76, and 13% of the times for cows with PSTPST, PSTCNF, CNFPST, and CNFCNF grazing experience, respectively. In yr 3, on d 1 to 3, cows with previous grazing experience as heifers (PSTPST, CNFPST, and PSTCNF) walked a greater distance than cows without previous grazing experience (CNFCNF). Milk production was lowest on d 1 to 3 for cows with no previous grazing experience (CNFCNF), but average daily milk production was not different overall over the 61 d of study in yr 3. Results indicate that grazing experiences as a heifer can affect behavior and milk production during a cow's first days on pasture. After a short acclimation period, dairy cows without grazing experience as heifers developed similar grazing behaviors and performance as cows with grazing experience as heifers.

T1  - In situ protein degradation of alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil hays and silages as influenced by condensed tannin concentration.

AB  - Dairy cattle often make poor use of protein when offered diets comprising high proportions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay or silage because nonprotein N formed during forage conservation and ruminal fermentation exceeds requirements for rumen microbial protein synthesis; however, condensed tannins (CT) may reduce proteolysis in the silo and in the rumen, thereby potentially improving the efficiency of crude protein (CP) use in ruminant diets. Two harvests, yielding 12 hays and 12 silages made from alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) that varied in concentrations of CT, were evaluated for in situ disappearance kinetics of CP in 6 ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein dairy cows (627 ± 56.3 kg). Prior to conservation, alfalfa contained no detectable CT, whereas CT in fresh lyophilized birdsfoot trefoil ranged from 1.16 to 2.77% of dry matter, as determined by a modified acetone-butanol-HCl assay. Percentages of CP remaining at each incubation time were fitted to nonlinear regression models with or without a discrete lag time. Effective ruminal disappearance of CP (rumen-degradable protein, RDP) was calculated by 3 procedures that included (1) no discrete lag (RDPNL), (2) discrete lag (RDPL), and (3) discrete lag with a lag adjustment (RDPLADJ). Regardless of the calculation method, RDP declined linearly with increasing CT concentrations (R² = 0.62 to 0.97). Generally, tests of homogeneity showed that conservation type (hay or silage) or harvest (silage only) affected intercepts, but not slopes in regressions of RDP on CT. A positive relationship between lag time and CT suggests that the RDPLADJ approach may be most appropriate for calculating RDP for legumes containing tannins. With this approach, regression intercepts were mainly affected by conservation method, and RDPLADJ averaged 77.5 and 88.7% of CP for hay and silage, respectively, when no CT was present. Greater estimates of RDP for silages were related to extensive proteolysis in laboratory silos resulting in conversions of protein into nonprotein N forms, which readily washed out of Dacron bags. When RDPLADJ and CT were expressed on a CP basis, regression slopes indicated that each unit of CT protected 0.61 units of CP from ruminal degradation in hays and silages. Applying this relationship to a typical mid-maturity forage legume containing 21% CP suggests that a CT concentration of 3.8% of DM would be required to reduce RDP from 81% to a 70% target considered optimal for improving protein utilization and milk yields by dairy cattle.

AB  - Mate-seeking in Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, a vector of the economically damaging huanglongbing citrus disease, typically includes male-female duetting behaviors. First, the male calls by beating his wings at ≈470-250 Hz, producing vibrations that are transmitted along the host tree branches to the female. If receptive, she immediately replies, helping to direct the searching male toward her. The duetting and searching continues until the male locates the female. Males and females are similar in size and produce wingbeat vibrations with similar temporal and spectral patterns. A study of male and female responses to playbacks of recorded and synthetic mimics of different vibrational signals on citrus plants was conducted to better understand the range of signals to which D. citri respond and potentially to co-opt or disrupt their vibrational communication. In general, both sexes responded well to a variety of 0.3-0.5-s signals that included multiple harmonics of ≈200-Hz wingbeat-frequency chirps up to ≈1,400 Hz (where a chirp is a sine wave tone that sweeps across a narrow range of frequencies). There were only minor differences in female responses to signals containing different relative amplitudes of such chirps, and males readily located sources that played these multiple-harmonic signals. The results are discussed in relation to mating-signal selectivity and the potential for developing automated methods to trap male D. citri by using vibrational signals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - .  1. cope slide-mounted insect specimens present special problems for DNA extraction due to chemical clearing techniques and subsequent specimen preservation. 2. Filter paper is routinely used for DNA storage in other biological disciplines (e.g. medicine), but is not widely used in entomology. 3. A system for room temperature storage of DNA with microscope slide-mounted voucher material uses filter paper in conjunction with the cleared voucher specimen. 4. The viability of filter paper for DNA storage is demonstrated through various time intervals. Either a solution of the cell lysis buffer or purified DNA can be stored on filter paper. Both COI and COII were sequenced from filter paper; EF-1α was attempted, but results were partially successful. 5. The filter paper system allows for DNA storage directly with the curated specimen, thus facilitating its accessibility. 6. The storage of DNA on filter paper with specimens in museum collections could reduce the need or cost for cryopreservation equipment. 7. DNA on filter paper facilitates international and local transport of DNA research material for subsequent study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper investigates the spatial distribution of cattle breeders in Texas to quantify how climate factors influence cattle breed selection. A multivariate probit model is employed to examine the county-level binary choices of Bos taurus, Bos indicus and composite breeds derived from cattle breed association membership data. The estimation results suggest that summer heat stress is a significant factor for breed selection: positive for Bos indicus and negative for Bos taurus and composite breeds, with the average marginal effects on breed membership probability being 9.7 %, −26.5 % and −7.9 %, respectively. The intensity of the summer heat impacts can lead to noteworthy changes in spatial distributions of Texas cattle breeds in the event of climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: C-trim is a healthy food product containing soluble dietary fibre β-glucan. The dispersion of C-trim in water is a hydrocolloid biopolymer. The linear and non-linear rheological properties of dispersions of C-trim biopolymers were investigated. The linear viscoelastic behaviours for C-trim dispersions were dependent on the β-glucan that C-trim contained. The C-trim20 and C-trim30, which have about 20% and 30% β-glucan, respectively, exhibited more fluid-like behaviours. The C-trim50 and C-trim95, which contain about 50% and 95% β-glucan, respectively, showed solid viscoelastic properties. The power law model fitting, as well as spectra, for the linear dynamic frequency sweep and stress relaxation of C-trim dispersions, suggested that the C-trim dispersions were composed of physical entanglement networks instead of chemical cross ones. The non-linear steady shearing studies for C-trim dispersions indicated that all four of the C-trim dispersions exhibited shear-thinning behaviours, which could be best described by the power law model.

AB  - Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan parasite capable of infecting all warm-blooded animals, including humans. Its closest extant relative, Hammondia hammondi, has never been found to infect humans and, in contrast to T. gondii, is highly attenuated in mice. To better understand the genetic bases for these phenotypic differences, we sequenced the genome of a H. hammondi isolate (HhCatGer041) and found the genomic synteny between H. hammondi and T. gondii to be >95%. We used this genome to determine the H. hammondi primary sequence of two major T. gondii mouse virulence genes, TgROP5 and TgROP18. When we expressed these genes in T. gondii, we found that H. hammondi orthologs of TgROP5 and TgROP18 were functional. Similar to T. gondii, the HhROP5 locus is expanded, and two distinct HhROP5 paralogs increased the virulence of a T. gondii TgROP5 knockout strain. We also identified a 107 base pair promoter region, absent only in type III TgROP18, which is necessary for TgROP18 expression. This result indicates that the ROP18 promoter was active in the most recent common ancestor of these two species and that it was subsequently inactivated in progenitors of the type III lineage. Overall, these data suggest that the virulence differences between these species are not solely due to the functionality of these key virulence factors. This study provides evidence that other mechanisms, such as differences in gene expression or the lack of currently uncharacterized virulence factors, may underlie the phenotypic differences between these species.

AB  - Abstract: The cubic R 117Co54+x Sn112±y compounds (R =La–Lu, except Pm, Eu, and Yb) have been synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. The existence of the compounds with R =Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy has been confirmed, while new compounds with R =Y, La, Nd, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu have been discovered. All of the studied phases adopt the Dy117Co57Sn112-type crystal structures with a giant cubic cell (a ∼30Å) when the proper heat treatment regime was selected. The lattice parameter decreases from La to Lu, in accordance with the lanthanide contraction and indicating the trivalent state for Ce in Ce117Co54.5Sn115.2. The Co/Sn compositional ratio increases when the size of the R atoms decreases. A single crystal investigation of Gd117Co56.4Sn114.3 confirms extensive structural disorder, particularly around the (1/2,1/2,1/2) location of the unit cell (4b site). Such disorder leads to an elongation of the thermal ellipsoids for the atoms surrounding this location. The magnetic measurements of the compounds with R =Ce, Gd and Tb indicate weak magnetic interactions and non-collinear alignment of magnetic moments in the ordered state. The electrical resistivity of Gd117Co56.4Sn114.3 shows interesting behavior with a change of sign at T C for the dρ/dT parameter. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Changes in genome architecture often have a significant effect on ecological specialization and speciation. This effect may be further enhanced by involvement of sex chromosomes playing a disproportionate role in reproductive isolation. We have physically mapped the Z chromosome of the major pome fruit pest, the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Tortricidae), and show that it arose by fusion between an ancestral Z chromosome and an autosome corresponding to chromosome 15 in the Bombyx mori reference genome. We further show that the fusion originated in a common ancestor of the main tortricid subfamilies, Olethreutinae and Tortricinae, comprising almost 700 pest species worldwide. The Z-autosome fusion brought two major genes conferring insecticide resistance and clusters of genes involved in detoxification of plant secondary metabolites under sex-linked inheritance. We suggest that this fusion significantly increased the adaptive potential of tortricid moths and thus contributed to their radiation and subsequent speciation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Electronic structures of (4, n) and (m, 4) (the NW has m layers parallel to the {1 1 1} facet and n layers parallel to {1 1 0}) Si/Ge core/shell nanowires (NWs) along the [1 1 2] direction with cross-sectional aspect ratio (m/n) from 0.36 to 2.25 are studied by first-principles calculations. An indirect to direct band gap transition is observed as m/n decreases, and the critical values of m/n and diameter for the transition are also estimated. The size of the band gap also depends on the aspect ratio. These results suggest that m/n plays an important role in modulating the electronic properties of the NWs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Insect-induced defenses occur in nearly all plants and are regulated by conserved signaling pathways. As the first described plant peptide signal, systemin regulates antiherbivore defenses in the Solanaceae, but in other plant families, peptides with analogous activity have remained elusive. In the current study, we demonstrate that a member of the maize (Zea mays) plant elicitor peptide (Pep) family, ZmPep3, regulates responses against herbivores. Consistent with being a signal, expression of the ZmPROPEP3 precursor gene is rapidly induced by Spodoptera exigua oral secretions. At concentrations starting at 5 pmol per leaf, ZmPep3 stimulates production of jasmonic acid, ethylene, and increased expression of genes encoding proteins associated with herbivory defense. These include proteinase inhibitors and biosynthetic enzymes for production of volatile terpenes and benzoxazinoids. In accordance with gene expression data, plants treated with ZmPep3 emit volatiles similar to those from plants subjected to herbivory. ZmPep3-treated plants also exhibit induced accumulation of the benzoxazinoid phytoalexin 2-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoxazjn-3-one glucoside. Direct and indirect defenses induced by ZmPep3 contribute to resistance against S. exigua through significant reduction of larval growth and attraction of Cotesia marginiventris parasitoids. ZmPep3 activity is specific to Poaceous species; however, peptides derived from PROPEP orthologs identified in Solanaceous and Fabaceous plants also induce herbivory-associated volatiles in their respective species. These studies demonstrate that Peps are conserved signals across diverse plant families regulating antiherbivore defenses and are likely to be the missing functional homologs of systemin outside of the Solanaceae.

AB  - Specific constellations of lipoprotein particle features, reflected as differences in mean lipoprotein particle diameters, are associated with risk of insulin resistance (IR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The associations of lipid profiles with disease risk differ by race/ethnicity, the reason for this is not clear. We aimed to examine whether there were additional genetic differences between racial/ethnic groups on lipoprotein profile. Genotypes were assessed using the Affymetrix 6.0 array in 817 related Caucasian participants of the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN). Association analysis was conducted on fasting mean particle diameters using linear models, adjusted for age, sex and study center as fixed effects, and pedigree as a random effect. Replication of associations reaching P < 1.97 × 10 (the level at which we achieved at least 80 % power to replicate SNP-phenotype associations) was conducted in the Caucasian population of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA; N = 2,430). Variants which replicated across both Caucasian populations were subsequently tested for association in the African-American ( N = 1,594), Chinese ( N = 758), and Hispanic ( N = 1,422) populations of MESA. Variants in the APOB gene region were significantly associated with mean VLDL diameter in GOLDN, and in the Caucasian and Hispanic populations of MESA, while variation in the hepatic lipase ( LIPC) gene was associated with mean HDL diameter in both Caucasians populations only. Our findings suggest that the genetic underpinnings of mean lipoprotein diameter differ by race/ethnicity. As lipoprotein diameters are modifiable, this may lead new strategies to modify lipoprotein profiles during the reduction of IR that are sensitive to race/ethnicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Several studies have been conducted in an attempt to determine the optimal freezing rate for cryopreservation of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) sperm. In this study, the effects of freezing rate (−10 °C, −15 °C, −20 °C, and −40 °C/min) on gamete quality was examined, using Sybr-14 and propidium iodide to determine viability (sperm cell membrane integrity), ATP concentration using a luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence assay, and a CEROS computer-assisted sperm analysis system to characterize striped bass sperm motion. Adult male striped bass (N = 12) were sampled once a week for 5 weeks. Collected samples were extended, cryoprotected using a 7.5% (vol/vol) dimethyl sulfoxide final concentration solution, and frozen using a Planer Kryosave controlled-rate freezer. Samples were stored in liquid nitrogen for 49 days, and sperm quality was re-evaluated after thaw (same methods). Sperm cryopreserved at −40 °C/min resulted in means for total motility (10.06%), progressive motility (7.14%), ATP concentration (0.86 pmol/106 cells), and sperm viability (56.5%) that were greater (P < 0.05) than those for slower cooling rates. Therefore, −40 °C/min was the optimal freezing rate (among those tested) for cryopreservation of striped bass sperm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Iron-based high-temperature superconductivity develops when the 'parent' antiferromagnetic/orthorhombic phase is suppressed, typically by introduction of dopant atoms. But their impact on atomic-scale electronic structure, although in theory rather complex, is unknown experimentally. What is known is that a strong transport anisotropy with its resistivity maximum along the crystal b axis, develops with increasing concentration of dopant atoms; this 'nematicity'vanishes when the parent phase disappears near the maximum superconducting Tc. The interplay between the electronic structure surrounding each dopant atom, quasiparticle scattering therefrom and the transport nematicity has therefore become a pivotal focus of research into these materials. Here, by directly visualizing the atomic-scale electronic structure, we show that substituting Co for Fe atoms in underdoped Ca(Fe1−xCox)2As2 generates a dense population of identical anisotropic impurity states. Each is ∼ 8 Fe-Fe unit cells in length, and all are distributed randomly but aligned with the antiferromagnetic a axis. By imaging their surrounding interference patterns, we further demonstrate that these impurity states scatter quasiparticles in a highly anisotropic manner, with the maximum scattering rate concentrated along the b axis. These data provide direct support for the recent proposals that it is primarily anisotropic scattering by dopant-induced impurity states that generates the transport nematicity; they also yield simple explanations for the enhancement of the nematicity proportional to the dopant density and for the occurrence of the highest resistivity along the b axis.

AB  - Exposures to West Nile virus (WNV) have been documented in a variety of wild mammals in both the New and Old Worlds. This review tabulates at least 100 mammal species with evidence of WNV exposure. Many of these exposures were detected in free-ranging mammals, while several were noted in captive individuals. In addition to exposures, this review discusses experimental infections in terms of the potential for reservoir competence of select wild mammal species. Overall, few experimental infections have been conducted on wild mammals. As such, the role of most wild mammals as potential amplifying hosts for WNV is, to date, uncertain. In most instances, experimental infections of wild mammals with WNV have resulted in no or low-level viremia. Some recent studies have indicated that certain species of tree squirrels ( Sciurus spp.), eastern chipmunks ( Tamias striatus), and eastern cottontail rabbits ( Sylvilagus floridanus) develop viremia sufficient for infecting some mosquito species. Certain mammalian species, such as tree squirrels, mesopredators, and deer have been suggested as useful species for WNV surveillance. In this review article, the information pertaining to wild mammal associations with WNV is synthesized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Haplotypes are available for 220,671 Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Jersey bulls and cows that received genomic evaluations in August 2012. Differences in least squares means of direct genomic values (DGV) for paternal and maternal haplotypes of Bos taurus autosomes 1, 6, 14, and 18 for lifetime net merit were significant in all but one case. Those chromosomes were chosen to represent cases with and without known quantitative trait loci, and other chromosomes may differ as well. Paternal haplotypes had higher DGV than maternal haplotypes in most cases, and differences were larger when quantitative trait loci were present. Longer chromosomes generally accounted for more variance than shorter chromosomes, and differences among breeds were consistent with known mutations of large effect. For example, Bos taurus autosome 18 accounted for 2.5, 7, and 2.6% of the variance in lifetime net merit for Brown Swiss (BS), Holsteins, and Jerseys, respectively. Distributions of the number of positive DGV inherited from sires and dams were negatively skewed in all breeds, and modes were slightly higher for paternally than maternally derived haplotypes in Holsteins and BS (22 vs. 20 and 22 vs. 21, respectively) and slightly lower in BS (17 vs. 19). Graphical representations of DGV are available to all users through a query on the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (ARS, USDA, Beltsville, MD) web site. Query results were also used to illustrate several quantitative genetic principles using genotype information from real animals. For example, offspring DGV can be compared with parental DGV to demonstrate that a parent transmits the average value of its 2 chromosomes to its progeny. The frequency of DGV with positive and negative values in animals of different ages can be used to show how selection affects allele frequencies. The effect of selection for alleles with large effects versus those with small effects is demonstrated using an animal with undesirable alleles for a marker with a large effect but many desirable alleles for markers with small effects. Strategies for the use of those data in selection programs are being studied, and work is underway to add data on conformation traits to the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Unstable weather, poor drying conditions, and unpredictable rainfall events often place valuable hay crops at risk. Recent research with large round bales composed of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) has shown that these large-bale packages are particularly sensitive to spontaneous heating and dry matter (DM) losses, as well as other undesirable changes with respect to forage fiber, protein, and energy density. Various formulations of organic acids have been marketed as preservatives, normally for use on hays that are not desiccated adequately in the field to facilitate safe bale storage. Our objectives for this study were to (1) evaluate the efficacy of applying a commercial (buffered) propionic acid-based preservative at 3 rates (0, 0.6, and 1.0% of wet-bale weight) to hays baled at 3 moisture concentrations (19.6, 23.8, and 27.4%) on the subsequent storage characteristics and poststorage nutritive value of alfalfa-orchardgrass forages packaged in large rectangular (285-kg) bales, and then (2) evaluate the in vivo digestibility of these hays in growing lambs. Over a 73-d storage period, the preservative was effective at limiting spontaneous heating in these hays, and a clear effect of application rate was observed for the wettest (27.4%) bales. For drier hays, both acid-application rates (1.0 and 0.6%) yielded comparable reductions in heating degree days >30°C relative to untreated controls. Reductions in spontaneous heating could not be associated with improved recovery of forage DM after storage. In this study, most changes in nutritive value during storage were related to measures of spontaneous heating in simple linear regression relationships; this suggests that the modest advantages in nutritive value resulting from acid treatment were largely associated with perturbations of normal heating patterns during bale storage. Although somewhat erratic, apparent digestibilities of both DM (Y = -0.0080x + 55.6; R² = 0.45) and organic matter (Y = -0.0085x + 55.5; R² = 0.53) evaluated in growing lambs were also directly related to heating degree days in simple linear relationships. Based on these data, applying propionic acid-based preservatives to large rectangular bales is likely to provide good insurance against spontaneous heating during storage, as well as modest benefits with respect to nutritive value and digestibility.

AB  - Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cake (PCSC) that was heated and oil largely removed by an experimental extrusion process, compared with upland cottonseed (UCS) and Pima cottonseed (PCS). The PCS had greater crude protein (CP) and ether extract, less neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), similar total gossypol, but higher (-)-gossypol isomer compared with UCS. Extrusion reduced lipid content by 73%, increased concentrations of CP, NDF, and ADF, and reduced total gossypol, (+)-gossypol, and (-)-gossypol in PCSC versus PCS. Forty lactating Holsteins (8 with ruminal cannulas) were blocked by days in milk into 5 squares in a replicated, incomplete 8 x 8 Latin square, and were fed diets containing, on a dry matter (DM) basis, 30% alfalfa silage, 31% corn silage, 21 to 25% high-moisture corn, and about 15% CP. Diets were fed as total mixed rations for ad libitum intake. Supplemental CP was from (1) solvent soybean meal (SSBM) only or 50% from SSBM plus 50% from (2) UCS, (3) PCS, (4) PCSC, (5) UCS plus PCS, and (6) UCS plus PCSC, or (7) 50% from expeller soybean meal (ESBM) plus 50% from PCS, and (8) 50% from ESBM plus 50% from PCSC. Periods were 4 wk long (total of 16 wk); production data were collected over the last 2 wk and blood and ruminal samples were taken on d 28 of each period. Data were analyzed using Proc Mixed of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Diet affected dry matter intake, with greatest intake on diet 6 and lowest intake on diets 1 and 3. The highest milk fat content was observed on diet 5 and the greatest fat yield on diet 7; fat content and yield were lowest on diet 1 (soybean meal control). Milk fat secretion was proportional to dietary fat content, indicating that cottonseed oil was used effectively for milk fat synthesis. We observed a trend for an effect on milk protein yield with the greatest protein secretion occurring on diet 7. Milk urea was lowest on diets 3, 7, and 8. Ruminal concentrations of branched-chain volatile fatty acids were lower, or tended to be lower, when PCSC replaced either UCS or PCS in the diet, suggesting reduced degradation and increased escape of PCSC protein. Among cottonseed-containing diets, total gossypol intake was lowest on PCSC, intermediate on PCS, and highest on UCS. Total gossypol and both (+)- and (-)-isomers of gossypol were higher in blood plasma on PCS and lower on PCSC than on the corresponding diets containing UCS, indicating that the extrusion process reduced gossypol absorption. In this trial, production on diets supplemented with UCS, PCS, or PCSC was comparable to that on diets containing soybean meal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective was to conduct a study to investigate if violative meat residues are detected in very young bob veal calves that are fed first-milking colostrum harvested from cows that were dry treated, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine. First-milking colostrum was collected from cows that were given intramammary treatment at dry off, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine (ToMORROW, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc., St. Joseph, MO). Newborn bull calves meeting study inclusion criteria were removed from their dams shortly after birth and before suckling, and assigned to 1 of 2 trials. For the first trial, 6 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of a plasma-derived colostrum replacer (Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer, VitaPlus Inc., Madison, WI) within 1 h after birth. For the second trial, 5 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer within 1 h after birth. All calves were humanely euthanized at 24 h (trial 1) or 48 h (trial 2) of age, and tissues were harvested for antimicrobial residue testing. Samples of maternal colostrum and colostrum replacer were also submitted for antimicrobial residue testing. Kidneys collected from all study calves tested negative for cephapirin benzathine residues when using both the KIS assay (Charm Sciences, Lawrence, MA) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The potential transfer of cephapirin from cows treated on-label at dry off to calves via colostrum may not be a significant source of cephapirin residues in veal tissues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We discovered a new compound MnCu4In with its own hexagonal structure type (hP12-P63 mc, ternary ordered derivative of the hexagonal MgZn2-type) that becomes ferromagnetic at T C =540K. This transition temperature is higher than that found in the MnCu2In and MnCu2Sn alloys. In contrast, the homologous compound MnCu4Sn, which crystallizes in the cubic MgCu4Sn-type, orders antiferromagnetically with T N =110K. The neutron diffraction studies show ferromagnetic spin orientation in the {101} plane in MnCu4In with a magnetic moment of 4.5μB/Mn at 22K, and a corresponding value of 4.7μB/Mn in the antiferromagnetic MnCu4Sn with propagation vector . The first-principles electronic structure calculations show that the unexpected difference in both magnetic and crystal structures of MnCu4In and MnCu4Sn is due to the difference in the Mn-3d bands and exchange interactions relating to different crystal anisotropy, coordination numbers, and interatomic distances.

AB  - Leaf rust ( Puccinia triticina Eriks. & Henn.) is a major disease affecting durum wheat production. The Lr14a-resistant gene present in the durum wheat cv. Creso and its derivative cv. Colosseo is one of the best characterized leaf-rust resistance sources deployed in durum wheat breeding. Lr14a has been mapped close to the simple sequence repeat markers gwm146, gwm344 and wmc10 in the distal portion of the chromosome arm 7BL, a gene-dense region. The objectives of this study were: (1) to enrich the Lr14a region with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and high-resolution melting (HRM)-based markers developed from conserved ortholog set (COS) genes and from sequenced Diversity Array Technology (DArT) markers; (2) to further investigate the gene content and colinearity of this region with the Brachypodium and rice genomes. Ten new COS-SNP and five HRM markers were mapped within an 8.0 cM interval spanning Lr14a. Two HRM markers pinpointed the locus in an interval of <1.0 cM and eight COS-SNPs were mapped 2.1-4.1 cM distal to Lr14a. Each marker was tested for its capacity to predict the state of Lr14a alleles (in particular, Lr14- Creso associated to resistance) in a panel of durum wheat elite germplasm including 164 accessions. Two of the most informative markers were converted into KASPar markers. Single assay markers ubw14 and wPt- 4038- HRM designed for agarose gel electrophoresis/KASPar assays and high-resolution melting analysis, respectively, as well as the double-marker combinations ubw14/ubw18, ubw14/ubw35 and wPt- 4038- HRM- ubw35 will be useful for germplasm haplotyping and for molecular-assisted breeding.

AB  - We present a phylogenetic and phylogenomic overview of the Polyporales. The newly sequenced genomes of Bjerhandera adusta, Ganoderma sp., and Phlebia brevispora are introduced and an overview of 10 currently available Polyporales genomes is provided. The new genomes are 39 500 000-49 900 00 bp and encode for 12 910-16 170 genes. We searched available genomes for single-copy genes and performed phylogenetic informativeness analyses to evaluate their potential for phylogenetic systematics of the Polyporales. Phylogenomic datasets (25, 71, 356 genes) were assembled for the 10 Polyporales species with genome data and compared with the most comprehensive dataset of Polyporales to date (six-gene dataset for 373 taxa, including taxa with missing data). Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of genomic datasets yielded identical topologies, and the corresponding clades also were recovered in the 373-taxa dataset although with different support values in some datasets. Three previously recognized lineages of Polyporales, antrodia, core polyporoid and phlebioid clades, are supported in most datasets, while the status of the residual polyporoid clade remains uncertain and certain taxa (e.g. Gelatoporia, Grifola, Tyromyces) apparently do not belong to any of the major lineages of Polyporales. The most promising candidate single-copy genes are presented, and nodes in the Polyporales phylogeny critical for the suprageneric taxonomy of the order are identified and discussed.

AB  - Genome structure variation, including copy number variation and presence/absence variation, comprises a large extent of maize genetic diversity; however, its effect on phenotypes remains largely unexplored. Here, we describe how copy number variation underlies a rare allele that contributes to maize aluminum (Al) tolerance. Al toxicity is the primary limitation for crop production on acid soils, which make up 50% of the world's potentially arable lands. In a recombinant inbred line mapping population, copy number variation of the Al tolerance gene multidrug and toxic compound extrusion 1 (MATE1) is the basis for the quantitative trait locus of largest effect on phenotypic variation. This expansion in MATE1 copy number is associated with higher MATE1 expression, which in turn results in superior Al tolerance. The three MATE1 copies are identical and are part of a tandem triplication. Only three maize inbred lines carrying the three-copy allele were identified from maize and teosinte diversity panels, indicating that copy number variation for MATE1 is a rare, and quite likely recent, event. These maize lines with higher MATE1 copy number are also Al-tolerant, have high MATE1 expression, and originate from regions of highly acidic soils. Our findings show a role for copy number variation in the adaptation of maize to acidic soils in the tropics and suggest that genome structural changes may be a rapid evolutionary response to new environments.

AB  - Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the biochemical target of organophosphate (OP) and carbamate pesticides for invertebrates, vertebrate nerve agents, and AChE inhibitors used to reduce effects of Alzheimer’s disease. Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are widely used to control blood-feeding arthropods, including biting flies and ticks. However, resistance to OPs in pests affecting animal and human health has compromised control efficacy. OP resistance often results from mutations producing an OP-insensitive AChE. Our studies have demonstrated production of OP-insensitive AChEs in biting flies and ticks. Complementary DNA (cDNA) sequences encoding AChEs were obtained for the horn fly, stable fly, sand fly, and the southern cattle tick. The availability of cDNA sequences enables the identification of mutations, expression and characterization of recombinant proteins, gene silencing for functional studies, as well as in vitro screening of novel inhibitors. The southern cattle tick expresses at least three different genes encoding AChE in their synganglion, i.e. brain. Gene amplification for each of the three known cattle tick AChE genes and expression of multiple alleles for each gene may reduce fitness cost associated with OP-resistance. AChE hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, but may have additional roles in physiology and development. The three cattle tick AChEs possess significantly different biochemical properties, and are expressed in neural and non-neural tissues, which suggest separation of structure and function. The remarkable complexity of AChEs in ticks suggested by combining genomic data from Ixodes scapularis with our genetic and biochemical data from Rhipicephalus microplus is suggestive of previously unknown gene duplication and diversification. Comparative studies between invertebrate and vertebrate AChEs could enhance our understanding of structure–activity relationships. Research with ticks as a model system offers the opportunity to elucidate structure–activity relationships for AChE that are important for advances in targeted pest control, as well as potential applications for medicine and biosecurity.

AB  - Abstract: The metal-organic framework Zn4O (BDC)3 (BDC = 1,4-bezene dicarboxlate), also known as MOF-5, has demonstrated considerable adsorption of hydrogen, up to 7 excess wt.% at 77 K. Consequently, it has attracted significant attention for vehicular hydrogen storage applications. To improve the volumetric hydrogen density and thermal conductivity of MOF-5, prior studies have examined the hydrogen storage capacities of dense MOF-5 pellets and the impact of thermally conductive additives such as expanded natural graphite (ENG). However, the performance of a storage system based on densified MOF-5 powders will also hinge upon the rate of hydrogen mass transport through the storage medium. In this study, we further characterize MOF-5 compacts by measuring their hydrogen transport properties as a function of pellet density (ρ = 0.3–0.5 g cm−3) and the presence/absence of ENG additions. More specifically, the Darcy permeability and diffusivity of hydrogen in pellets of neat MOF-5, and composite pellets consisting of MOF-5 with 5 and 10 wt.% ENG additions, have been measured at ambient (296 K) and liquid nitrogen (77 K) temperatures. The experimental data suggest that the H2 transport in densified MOF-5 is strongly related to the MOF-5 pellet density ρ. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - While most B2 materials are brittle, a new class of B2 (rare-earth) intermetallic compounds is observed to have large ductility. We analytically derive a necessary condition for ductility (dislocation motion) involving 〈111〉 versus 〈001〉 slip and the relative stability of various planar defects that must form. We present a sufficient condition for antiphase boundary bistability on {1̄10} and {11̄2} planes that allows multiple slip systems. From these energy-based criteria, we construct two stability maps for B2 ductility that use only dimensionless ratios of elastic constants and defect energies, calculated via density functional theory. These two conditions fully explain and predict enhanced ductility (or lack thereof) for B2 systems. In the 23 systems studied, the ductility of YAg, ScAg, ScAu, and ScPd, ductile-to-brittle crossover for other rare-earth B2 compounds, and brittleness of all classic B2 alloys and ionic compounds are correctly predicted.

AB  - Stem-cement and cement-bone interfacial failures as well as cement fractures have been noted in cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) as the cause of aseptic loosening. Attempts to reduce the risk of femoral component loosening include improving the stem-cement interface by various coatings, using a textured or porous coated stem surfaces or by using a tapered stem having a highly-polished surface. The latter approach, often referred to as ''force-closed'' femoral stem design, would theoretically result in stem stabilization subsequent to debonding and 'taper-lock'. Previous work using three-dimensional finite element analysis has shown a state of stress at the stem-cement interface indicative of 'taper-lock' for the debonded stem and indicated that stem-cement interface friction and bone cement creep played a significant role in the magnitudes of stresses and subsidence of the stem. However, the previous analysis did not include the viscoelastic properties of bone, which has been hypothesized to permit additional expansion of the bone canal and allow additional stem subsidence (Lu and McKellop, 1997). The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of bone viscoelastic behavior on stem subsidence using a 3D finite element analysis. It was hypothesized that the viscoelastic behavior of bone in the hoop direction would allow expansion of the bone reducing the constraint on bone over time and permit additional stem subsidence, which may account for the discrepancies between predicted and clinical subsidence measurements. Analyses were conducted using physiological loads, 'average peak loads' and 'high peak loads' for 'normal patient' and 'active patient' (Bergmann et al., 2010) from which short and long term subsidence was predicted. Results indicated that bone creep does contribute to higher stem subsidence initially and after 10 years of simulated loading. However, it was concluded that the ''constraint'' upon the cement mantle is not mitigated enough to result in stem subsidence equivalent to that observed clinically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We extend the methods developed by Hausmann and Klinger (2006) to measure and compare the dynamics of a country's structural transformation and apply the methods to China, Malaysia, and Ghana over the period 1962-2000. The results show that the rate of structural transformation is proportionately higher when a country produces more compact clusters of capital and consumer durable goods which in turn appear to lead more rapidly into new varieties of goods of higher unit values. We find that China's transformation is the result of increasing proximity of her production/export basket to capital goods and consumer durables and the increasing values of new products in these two clusters. Malaysia's product space in 1962 contained fewer of the world's cluster of industrial goods than did China's. The country nevertheless achieved a more rapid pace of transformation in the late 1980s which reduced her structural gap with China. The structure of the Ghanaian economy, however, is stagnant over time, and the country's production profile is dominated by primary goods of low value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a photoactive water soluble protein that is crucial for photoprotection in cyanobacteria. When activated by blue-green light, it triggers quenching of phycobilisome fluorescence and regulates energy flow from the phycobilisome to the reaction center. The OCP contains a single pigment, the carotenoid 3′-hydroxyechinenone (hECN). Binding to the OCP causes a conformational change in hECN leading to an extension of its effective conjugation length. We have determined the S1 energy of hECN in organic solvent and compared it with the S1 energy of hECN bound to the OCP. In methanol and n-hexane, hECN has an S1 energy of 14,300cm−1, slightly higher than carotenoids with shorter conjugation lengths such as zeaxanthin or β-carotene; this is consistent with the proposal that the presence of the conjugated carbonyl group in hECN increases its S1 energy. The S1 energy of hECN in organic solvent is independent of solvent polarity. Upon binding to the OCP, the S1 energy of hECN is further increased to 14,700cm−1, underscoring the importance of protein binding which twists the conjugated carbonyl group into s-trans conformation and enhances the effect of the carbonyl group. Activated OCP, however, has an S1 energy of 14,000cm−1, indicating that significant changes in the vicinity of the conjugated carbonyl group occur upon activation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Juglans nigra (black walnut) is widely distributed throughout the US eastern forest, with high concentrations occurring in Missouri and the Ohio and Tennessee River basins. It is an extremely desirable tree for wildlife forage and timber production on forest land, and for shade, aesthetics, and wildlife forage in urban areas. Current (2009-2010) estimates from US Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data indicated that there were 306 million live black walnut trees in the eastern United States with a live volume totaling 112.76 million cubic meters (m3). This resource is currently threatened by the newly discovered presence of thousand cankers disease (TCD) in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia. Thousand cankers disease may have been present in these areas for at least 10 years prior to discovery; however, no evidence of TCD in the forest at large was apparent in the crown condition and mortality data collected by FIA between 2000 and 2010. During this time period black walnut crown conditions were within the range of what is typically considered normal and healthy for hardwood trees and dead black walnut accounted for < 5% of the total number of black walnut trees in 82% of the counties where black walnut occurred. Lack of evidence of TCD in our study could be due to its actual absence or to an inability of the inventory and monitoring system to detect its presence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Fusarium (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) is one of the most economically important and systematically challenging groups of mycotoxigenic phytopathogens and emergent human pathogens. We conducted maximum likelihood (ML), maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian (B) analyses on partial DNA-directed RNA polymerase II largest (RPB1) and second largest subunit (RPB2) nucleotide sequences of 93 fusaria to infer the first comprehensive and well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis of evolutionary relationships within the genus and 20 of its near relatives. Our analyses revealed that Cylindrocarpon formed a basal monophyletic sister to a ‘terminal Fusarium clade’ (TFC) comprising 20 strongly supported species complexes and nine monotypic lineages, which we provisionally recognize as Fusarium (hypothesis F1). The basal-most divergences within the TFC were only significantly supported by Bayesian posterior probabilities (B-PP 0.99–1). An internode of the remaining TFC, however, was strongly supported by MP and ML bootstrapping and B-PP (hypothesis F2). Analysis of seven Fusarium genome sequences and Southern analysis of fusaria elucidated the distribution of genes required for synthesis of 26 families of secondary metabolites within the phylogenetic framework. Diversification time estimates date the origin of the TFC to the middle Cretaceous 91.3million years ago. We also dated the origin of several agriculturally important secondary metabolites as well as the lineage responsible for Fusarium head blight of cereals. Dating of several plant-associated species complexes suggests their evolution may have been driven by angiosperm diversification during the Miocene. Our results support two competing hypotheses for the circumscription of Fusarium and provide a framework for future comparative phylogenetic and genomic analyses of this agronomically and medically important genus.

AB  - This report demonstrates how existing national data can be used to first calculate upper limits on the average cost per participant and per outcome per state/territory for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). These upper limits can then be used by state EFNEP administrators to obtain more precise estimates for their states, based on their state-specific knowledge. Across all states, EFNEP appears most cost effective in nutrition practices, followed by food resource management practices, and then food safety practices. All but 3 states have cost per quality adjusted life years that are considered cost effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Top-predators have been reported to have an important role in structuring food webs and maintaining ecological processes for the benefit of biodiversity at lower trophic levels. This is thought to be achieved through their suppressive effects on sympatric mesopredators and prey. Great scientific and public interest surrounds the potential use of top-predators as biodiversity conservation tools, and it can often be difficult to separate what we think we know and what we really know about their ecological utility. Not all the claims made about the ecological roles of top-predators can be substantiated by current evidence. We review the methodology underpinning empirical data on the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (Canis lupus dingo and hybrids) to provide a comprehensive and objective benchmark for knowledge of the ecological roles of Australia’s largest terrestrial predator. From a wide variety of methodological flaws, sampling bias, and experimental design constraints inherent to 38 of the 40 field studies we assessed, we demonstrate that there is presently unreliable and inconclusive evidence for dingoes’ role as a biodiversity regulator. We also discuss the widespread (both taxonomically and geographically) and direct negative effects of dingoes to native fauna, and the few robust studies investigating their positive roles. In light of the highly variable and context-specific impacts of dingoes on faunal biodiversity and the inconclusive state of the literature, we strongly caution against the positive management of dingoes in the absence of a supporting evidence-base for such action.

AB  - Elevated suspended solids are a widespread stressor of aquatic ecosystems, but their effects on growth and reproduction in freshwater mussels are largely unknown. We fertilized experimental ponds to create a gradient in total suspended solids (TSS) and examined the effects of TSS on growth, nutritional status, reproduction, and clearance rate in Ligumia subrostrata. The number of females that became gravid declined sharply with increasing TSS, and no gravid females were found in the highest TSS treatments. The proportion of gravid females was not related to the TSS organic:inorganic ratio. Fertilization was an all-or-nothing phenomenon. In all females that did become gravid, 98 to 99% of eggs were fertilized regardless of TSS, and total fecundity was unrelated to TSS. Clearance rates declined sharply as TSS increased but showed a threshold relationship in which clearance was uniformly low at TSS > ~8 mg/L. Reproductive failure probably was not caused by poor body condition or nutritional status because growth (length and mass) and energetic status (measured as caloric density) were not related to TSS. We propose 2 mechanisms that implicate interference of TSS with fertilization as the cause of reproductive failure. Reduced clearance rate could decrease the chance of females encountering suspended sperm during filter feeding, or an increase in pseudofeces production could bind sperm in mucus and lead to its egestion before fertilization. Interruption of fertilization coincident with high TSS is a potential mechanism to explain the lack of mussel recruitment in many locations. Monitoring and reduction of TSS, especially during the spawning season, may help create conditions necessary for maintenance and recovery of mussel populations. More research is needed to explore the generality of this pattern across a broad range of mussel species including those adapted to lotic environments or that use different brooding strategies.

T1  - Isolation and Characterization of a β-Glucosidase from a Clavispora Strain with Potential Applications in Bioethanol Production from Cellulosic Materials.

AB  - We previously reported on a new yeast strain of Clavispora sp. NRRL Y-50464 that is capable of utilizing cellobiose as sole source of carbon and energy by producing sufficient native β-glucosidase enzyme activity without further enzyme supplementation for cellulosic ethanol production using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. Eliminating the addition of external β-glucosidase reduces the cost of cellulosic ethanol production. In this study, we present results on the isolation and identification of a β-glucosidase protein from strain Y-50464. Using Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and blast search of the NCBInr database (National Center for Biotechnology Information nonredundant), the protein from Y-50464 was identified as a β-glucosidase (BGL1) with a molecular weight of 93.3 kDa. The BGL1 protein was purified through multiple chromatographic steps to a 26-fold purity ( K = 0.355 mM [pNPG]; K = 15.2 mM [glucose]), which has a specific activity of 18.4 U/mg of protein with an optimal performance temperature at 45 °C and pH of 6.0. This protein appears to be intracellular although other forms of the enzyme may exist. The fast growth rate of Y-50464 and its capability to produce sufficient β-glucosidase activity for ethanol conversion from cellobiose provide a promising means for low-cost cellulosic ethanol production through a consolidated bioprocessing development.

AB  - Abstract: Background: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, with knee osteoarthritis being the leading cause of lower extremity disability among older adults in the US. There are no treatments available to prevent the structural pathology of osteoarthritis. Because of vitamin K''s role in regulating skeletal mineralization, it has potential to be a preventative option for osteoarthritis. We therefore examined the relation of vitamin K to new-onset radiographic knee osteoarthritis and early osteoarthritis changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Subjects from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) Study had knee radiographs and MRI scans obtained at baseline and 30 months later, and plasma phylloquinone (vitamin K) measured at baseline. We examined the relationship of subclinical vitamin K deficiency to incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis and MRI-based cartilage lesions and osteophytes, respectively, using log binomial regression with generalized estimating equations, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Among 1180 participants (62% women, mean age 62±8 years, mean body mass index 30.1±5.1 kg/m2), subclinical vitamin K deficiency was associated with incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis (risk ratio [RR] 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-2.25) and cartilage lesions (RR 2.39; 95% CI, 1.05-5.40) compared with no deficiency, but not with osteophytes (RR 2.35; 95% CI, 0.54-10.13). Subclinically vitamin K-deficient subjects were more likely to develop osteoarthritis in one or both knees than neither knee (RR 1.33; 95% CI, 1.01-1.75 and RR 2.12; 95% CI, 1.06-4.24, respectively). Conclusion: In the first such longitudinal study, subclinical vitamin K deficiency was associated with increased risk of developing radiographic knee osteoarthritis and MRI-based cartilage lesions. Further study of vitamin K is warranted given its therapeutic/prophylactic potential for osteoarthritis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We identified several HLB-induced citrus small RNAs that can be potentially developed into early diagnostic markers of HLB. Induction of miR399 by Las led to the discovery that HLB-positive trees suffer from phosphorus starvation. Applying phosphorus solutions help reduce HLB symptoms.Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating citrus disease that is associated with bacteria of the genus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ (Ca. L.). Powerful diagnostic tools and management strategies are desired to control HLB. Host small RNAs (sRNA) play a vital role in regulating host responses to pathogen infection and are used as early diagnostic markers for many human diseases, including cancers. To determine whether citrus sRNAs regulate host responses to HLB, sRNAs were profiled from Citrus sinensis 10 and 14 weeks post grafting with Ca. L. asiaticus (Las)-positive or healthy tissue. Ten new microRNAs (miRNAs), 76 conserved miRNAs, and many small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were discovered. Several miRNAs and siRNAs were highly induced by Las infection, and can be potentially developed into early diagnosis markers of HLB. miR399, which is induced by phosphorus starvation in other plant species, was induced specifically by infection of Las but not Spiroplasma citri that causes citrus stubborn—a disease with symptoms similar to HLB. We found a 35% reduction of phosphorus in Las-positive citrus trees compared to healthy trees. Applying phosphorus oxyanion solutions to HLB-positive sweet orange trees reduced HLB symptom severity and significantly improved fruit production during a 3-year field trial in south-west Florida. Our molecular, physiological, and field data suggest that phosphorus deficiency is linked to HLB disease symptomology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Non-biased, high-throughput metabolomic profiling in Selaginella lepidophylla at various hydration states characterized a total of 251 metabolites including constitutive, highly abundant sugars, inducible osmoprotectants, antioxidants, and sunscreens that likely act in concert to facilitate desiccation tolerance.Selaginella lepidophylla is one of only a few species of spike mosses (Selaginellaceae) that have evolved desiccation tolerance (DT) or the ability to ‘resurrect’ from an air-dried state. In order to understand the metabolic basis of DT, S. lepidophylla was subjected to a five-stage, rehydration/dehydration cycle, then analyzed using non-biased, global metabolomics profiling technology based on GC/MS and UHLC/MS/MS2 platforms. A total of 251 metabolites including 167 named (66.5%) and 84 (33.4%) unnamed compounds were characterized. Only 42 (16.7%) and 74 (29.5%) of compounds showed significantly increased or decreased abundance, respectively, indicating that most compounds were produced constitutively, including highly abundant trehalose, sucrose, and glucose. Several glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates showed increased abundance at 100% relative water content (RWC) and 50% RWC. Vanillate, a potent antioxidant, was also more abundant in the hydrated state. Many different sugar alcohols and sugar acids were more abundant in the hydrated state. These polyols likely decelerate the rate of water loss during the drying process as well as slow water absorption during rehydration, stabilize proteins, and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, nitrogen-rich and γ-glutamyl amino acids, citrulline, and nucleotide catabolism products (e.g. allantoin) were more abundant in the dry states, suggesting that these compounds might play important roles in nitrogen remobilization during rehydration or in ROS scavenging. UV-protective compounds such as 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, apigenin, and naringenin, were more abundant in the dry states. Most lipids were produced constitutively, with the exception of choline phosphate, which was more abundant in dry states and likely plays a role in membrane hydration and stabilization. In contrast, several polyunsaturated fatty acids were more abundant in the hydrated states, suggesting that these compounds likely help maintain membrane fluidity during dehydration. Lastly, S. lepidophylla contained seven unnamed compounds that displayed twofold or greater abundance in dry or rehydrating states, suggesting that these compounds might play adaptive roles in DT.

AB  - Root system growth and development is highly plastic and is influenced by the surrounding environment. Roots frequently grow in heterogeneous environments that include interactions from neighboring plants and physical impediments in the rhizosphere. To investigate how planting density and physical objects affect root system growth, we grew rice in a transparent gel system in close proximity with another plant or a physical object. Root systems were imaged and reconstructed in three dimensions. Root-root interaction strength was calculated using quantitative metrics that characterize the extent to which the reconstructed root systems overlap each other. Surprisingly, we found the overlap of root systems of the same genotype was significantly higher than that of root systems of different genotypes. Root systems of the same genotype tended to grow toward each other but those of different genotypes appeared to avoid each other. Shoot separation experiments excluded the possibility of aerial interactions, suggesting root communication. Staggered plantings indicated that interactions likely occur at root tips in close proximity. Recognition of obstacles also occurred through root tips, but through physical contact in a size-dependent manner. These results indicate that root systems use two different forms of communication to recognize objects and alter root architecture: root-root recognition, possibly mediated through root exudates, and root-object recognition mediated by physical contact at the root tips. This finding suggests that root tips act as local sensors that integrate rhizosphere information into global root architectural changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Nutrient inputs from urban encroachment and agricultural activities have been implicated in contributing to the environmental health decline and loss of organism diversity of South Florida ecosystems. Intensive agricultural pesticide use may also challenge these ecosystems. One possible mechanism is pesticide release to the atmosphere after application. The process is enhanced in this region due to the calcareous soils, frequent rainfall, and high humidity and temperatures. This study examined the atmospheric fate of the widely-used insecticide endosulfan. Air samples were collected over a five-year period (2001–2006) at a site within the agricultural community of Homestead, Florida and at sites located in nearby Biscayne and Everglades National Parks (NPs). Mean gas phase air concentrations of α-endosulfan were 17 ± 19 ng m−3 at Homestead, 2.3 ± 3.6 ng m−3 at Everglades NP, and 0.52 ± 0.69 ng m−3 at Biscayne NP. Endosulfan emissions from agricultural areas around Homestead appeared to influence air concentration observations at the NP sites. During an intensive sampling campaign, the highest total endosulfan concentrations at the NP sites were observed on days when air parcels were predicted to move from Homestead towards the sampling locations. The α-endosulfan fraction (α/(α + β)) was used to examine the contribution of pesticide drift versus volatilization to the overall residue level. The formulated product has an α fraction of approximately 0.7, whereas volatilization is predicted to have an α fraction of ≥0.9. The median α- fraction observed during periods of high agricultural activity at Homestead and Everglades NP was 0.84 and 0.88, respectively, and during periods of low agricultural activity the median at Homestead was 0.86, indicating contributions from drift. The median α fraction at Everglades NP was 1.0 during periods of low agricultural activity, while Biscayne NP was 1.0 year round indicating air concentrations are primarily influenced by regional volatilization.

AB  - The electronic structure, optical and x-ray absorption spectra, angle dependence of the cyclotron masses and ex-tremal cross sections of the Fermi surface, phonon spectra, electron-phonon Eliashberg and transport spectral func-tions, temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of the MB2 (M = Ti and Zr) diborides were investigated from first principles using the fully relativistic and full potential linear muffin-tin orbital methods. The calculations of the dynamic matrix were carried out within the framework of the linear response theory. A good agreement with experimental data of optical and x-ray absorption spectra, phonon spectra, electron-phonon spectral functions, electrical resistivity, cyclotron masses, and extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface was achieved.

AB  - Sexual maturation of Anastrepha fraterculus is a long process. Methoprene (a mimic of juvenile hormone) considerably reduces the time for sexual maturation in males. However, in other Anastrepha species, this effect depends on protein intake at the adult stage. Here, we evaluated the mating competitiveness of sterile laboratory males and females that were treated with methoprene (either the pupal or adult stage) and were kept under different regimes of adult food, which varied in the protein source and the sugar:protein ratio. Experiments were carried out under semi-natural conditions, where laboratory flies competed over copulations with sexually mature wild flies. Sterile, methoprene-treated males that reached sexual maturity earlier (six days old), displayed the same lekking behaviour, attractiveness to females and mating competitiveness as mature wild males. This effect depended on protein intake. Diets containing sugar and hydrolyzed yeast allowed sterile males to compete with wild males (even at a low concentration of protein), while brewer´s yeast failed to do so even at a higher concentration. Sugar only fed males were unable to achieve significant numbers of copulations. Methoprene did not increase the readiness to mate of six-day-old sterile females. Long pre-copulatory periods create an additional cost to the management of fruit fly pests through the sterile insect technique (SIT). Our findings suggest that methoprene treatment will increase SIT effectiveness against A. fraterculus when coupled with a diet fortified with protein. Additionally, methoprene acts as a physiological sexing method, allowing the release of mature males and immature females and hence increasing SIT efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Service-sire conception rate (SCR) evaluations were implemented for the United States in August 2008. Only inseminations from the most recent 4 yr of breeding records are used for SCR evaluations, and all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the data submission deadline for an evaluation. In April 2012, edits for SCR were modified so that all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the last herd test date rather than the constant date of 70 d before the data submission deadline. This edit more precisely measures the days of opportunity for a cow to be diagnosed as pregnant or not pregnant following insemination, and is herd specific. The number of inseminations before the edit change was 16,906,385 compared with 16,492,331 after the edit change. Correlations of SCR before and after the edit change were 0.96 for Holsteins and slightly lower for other breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. Weekly mean conception rates after the edit change were more stable for the most recent inseminations. The conception rate was 60% at wk 10 before the constant cutoff date (before edit change) compared with 42% at 10 wk before the last herd test date (after the edit change). Similar edits to SCR are applied to heifer conception rate (HCR) and cow conception rate data (CCR), and were changed in August 2012 to use herd-specific cutoff dates. The HCR and CCR correlations before and after the edit change were 0.99 or higher for all breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. The new edits improve accuracy of SCR, HCR, and CCR evaluations by accounting for differing opportunity to confirm pregnancy caused by discontinued testing or differences in herd testing schedule.

AB  - Abstract: Public research is a major contributor to agricultural productivity growth, but if research investments are not maintained, agricultural productivity can decline over time. Maintenance research replaces deteriorated research knowledge to forestall a productivity decline. Knowledge of the magnitude of maintenance research can facilitate a more complete assessment of the value of agricultural research programs. Trends in maintenance research and sources of change in those trends are investigated. Results indicate that overall, about 40% of US agricultural research is devoted to maintenance, up from about a third 25years ago. A model is developed and estimated to explain maintenance research expenditures. Research funding, climatic conditions, insect and pathogen control, and agricultural production choices influence maintenance research expenditures. Increased reliance on out-of-state funding sources may skew agricultural research away from maintenance research, while climate change may increase the need for such research.

AB  - Abstract: A set of six spherically curved Cu single crystals referred to as Surface Structure Spread Single Crystals (S4Cs) has been prepared in such a way that their exposed surfaces collectively span all possible crystallographic surface orientations that can be cleaved from the face centered cubic Cu lattice. The method for preparing these S4Cs and for finding the high symmetry pole point is described. Optical profilometry has been used to determine the true shapes of the S4Cs and show that over the majority of the surface, the shape is extremely close to that of a perfect sphere. The local orientations of the surfaces lie within ±1° of the orientation expected on the basis of the spherical shape; their orientation is as good as that of many commercially prepared single crystals. STM imaging has been used to characterize the atomic level structure of the Cu(111)±11°-S4C. This has shown that the average step densities and the average step orientations match those expected based on the spherical shape. In other words, although there is some distribution of step–step spacing and step orientations, there is no evidence of large scale reconstruction or faceting. The Cu S4Cs have local structures based on the ideal termination of the face centered cubic Cu lattice in the direction of termination. The set of Cu S4Cs will serve as the basis for high throughput investigations of structure sensitive surface chemistry on Cu. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The thermodynamic properties of the Fe-Mn-C system were investigated by using an analytical model constructed by a CALPHAD approach. The stacking fault energy (SFE) of the fcc structure with respect to the hcp phase was always constant at T0, independent of the composition and temperature when other related parameters were assumed to be constant. Experimental limits for the thermal hcp formation and the mechanical (deformation-induced) hcp formation were separated by the SFE at T0. The driving force for the fcc to hcp transition, defined as a dimensionless value -dGm/(RT ), was determined in the presence of Fe-rich and Mn-rich composition sets in each phase. Carbon tended to partition to the Mn-rich phase rather than to the Fe-rich phase for the compositions studied. The results obtained revealed a thermo-mechanical correlation with empirical yield strength, maximum true stress and maximum true strain. The proportionality between thermodynamics and mechanical properties is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The rotating cross-arm (RCA) technology combines a unique trellis design and cane training protocol. Developed over the last two decades, this technology is beginning to have an impact on the blackberry (Genus Rubus, subgenus Rubus) industry in the United States (US). It has been successfully transferred to growers in more than 21 states in the last two years and contributed to increasing the blackberry acreage by about ~100 ha in the eastern US. Our research and development effort on the RCA technology has shown that 1) winter injury can be reduced by modifying the crop environment and production techniques, 2) white drupe formation can be reduced when fruit is positioned away from direct sunlight, and 3) harvest efficiency is improved when the fruit positioned on one side of the row. Our research has also shown that RCA technology can be used to generate several times more one-node floricane cuttings and long-cane plants than traditional propagation methods. The enclosure technique improved rooting of some cultivars, but there were recalcitrant cultivars like 'Apache'. Auxin analyses suggested a possible link between IAA concentrations and root induction in floricane cuttings. Consistent production of blackberries was achieved in areas with minimum winter temperatures below -20°C with the RCA technology. This technology allows the canes to be positioned close to the ground in winter and covered with a floating rowcover. An unexpected result of this winter protection system was some leaves on the floricane remained green throughout the spring and were photosynthetically functional in spring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A plant’s surface is covered with epicuticular wax, which protects plants from inappropriate environmental conditions such as drought and pathogen attack. Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are the main component of epicuticular wax on the surface of above-ground organs. Here we show that a fatty acid elongase catalyzing an elongation reaction of VLCFAs is required for shoot development in rice. onion2 (oni2) mutants produced very small shoots in which leaves were fused to each other, and ceased growing after germination. The midrib of oni2 leaf blades was not developed correctly. Molecular cloning showed that ONI2 encodes a fatty acid elongase, which catalyzes the first step of elongation reactions of a carbon chain of VLCFAs, and oni2 had a reduced amount of VLCFAs. Expression analysis showed that ONI2 is specifically expressed in the outermost cell layer of young lateral organs. These results suggest that ONI2 is a layer 1-specific gene required for development of the entire shoot and that VLCFAs play an essential role in normal shoot development in rice.

AB  - A current pine beetle infestation has caused extensive mortality of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) in forests of Colorado and Wyoming; it is part of an unprecedented multispecies beetle outbreak extending from Mexico to Canada. In United States and European watersheds, where atmospheric deposition of inorganic N is moderate to low (<10 kg·ha·y), disturbance of forests by timber harvest or violent storms causes an increase in stream nitrate concentration that typically is close to 400% of predisturbance concentrations. In contrast, no significant increase in streamwater nitrate concentrations has occurred following extensive tree mortality caused by the mountain pine beetle in Colorado. A model of nitrate release from Colorado watersheds calibrated with field data indicates that stimulation of nitrate uptake by vegetation components unaffected by beetles accounts for significant nitrate retention in beetle-infested watersheds. The combination of low atmospheric N deposition (<10 kg·ha·y), tree mortality spread over multiple years, and high compensatory capacity associated with undisturbed residual vegetation and soils explains the ability of these beetle-infested watersheds to retain nitrate despite catastrophic mortality of the dominant canopy tree species.

AB  - Abstract: Replication-defective recombinant adenovirus 5 (rAd5) vectors carrying foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) transgenes elicit a robust immune response to FMDV challenge in cattle; however mechanistic functions of vaccine function are incompletely understood. Recent efforts addressing critical interactions of rAd5 vectors with components of the bovine immune system have elucidated important aspects of induction of protective immunity against FMDV. In the current study, a rAd5-Luciferase (rAd5-Luc) surrogate vector was utilized for indirect assessment of rAd5-FMDV distribution during the first 48hours post inoculation (hpi). To compare vector distribution dynamics and time-dependent transgene expression, bovine cells were inoculated in vitro with rAd5-FMDV and rAd5-Luc vectors. Superior transgene expression was detected in cells infected with rAd5-Luc compared to rAd5-FMDV. However, both vectors behaved remarkably similar in demonstrating elevated mRNA transcription at 24 and 48hpi with peak occurrence of transgene expression at 48hpi. Injection sites of cattle inoculated with rAd5-Luc contained mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates with hexon and transgene proteins associated with antigen-presenting cells. Luciferase activity, as well as microscopic detection of luciferase antigens, peaked at 24hpi. Presence of viral mRNA also peaked at 24hpi but unlike luciferase, remained strongly detected at 48hpi. Cell-associated luciferase antigens were detected as early as 6hpi at the cortical interfolicullar areas of local LN, indicating rapid trafficking of antigen-presenting cells to lymphoid tissues. This work provides mechanistic insights on rAd5-mediated immunity in cattle and will contribute to ongoing efforts to enhance rAd5-FMDV vaccine efficacy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The cyanobacterial phylum encompasses oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes of a great breadth of morphologies and ecologies; they play key roles in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. The chloroplasts of all photosynthetic eukaryotes can trace their ancestry to cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria also attract considerable interest as platforms for "green" biotechnology and biofuels. To explore the molecular basis of their different phenotypes and biochemical capabilities, we sequenced the genomes of 54 phylogenetically and phenotypically diverse cyanobacterial strains. Comparison of cyanobacterial genomes reveals the molecular basis for many aspects of cyanobacterial ecophysiological diversity, as well as the convergence of complex morphologies without the acquisition of novel proteins. This phylum-wide study highlights the benefits of diversity-driven genome sequencing, identifying more than 21,000 cyanobacterial proteins with no detectable similarity to known proteins, and foregrounds the diversity of light-harvesting proteins and gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Additionally, our results provide insight into the distribution of genes of cyanobacterial origin in eukaryotic nuclear genomes. Moreover, this study doubles both the amount and the phylogenetic diversity of cyanobacterial genome sequence data. Given the exponentially growing number of sequenced genomes, this diversity-driven study demonstrates the perspective gained by comparing disparate yet related genomes in a phylum-wide context and the insights that are gained from it.

AB  - Abstract: A new structure type has been discovered in the system Sc–Fe–Ge–Sn by employing Sn as a flux medium. According to single crystal X-ray diffraction, the new structure has a composition of Sc4Fe5Ge6.10(3)Sn1.47(2) and crystallizes in the space group Immm (No. 71, oI144) with lattice parameters of a =5.230(1)Å, b =13.467(3)Å, and c =30.003(6)Å. The structure is composed of square anti-prismatic clusters that are condensed into zig-zag chains along the [010] direction. These chains are further condensed through a split Sn/Ge position, forming a three-dimensional network. Magnetization measurements indicate an antiferromagnetic phase transition near 240K. Electronic structure calculations identified the most favorable bonding network in this new system. Using crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) curves and their integrated values (ICOHP), a polar intermetallic bonding network involving Sc–Ge as well as Fe–Sn and Fe–Ge contacts can be assigned to this new structure type.

AB  - Abstract: A multi-class, multi-residue method for the analysis of 13 novel flame retardants, 18 representative pesticides, 14 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and 7 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in catfish muscle was developed and evaluated using fast low pressure gas chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LP-GC/MS–MS). The method was based on a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, safe) extraction with acetonitrile and dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) clean-up with zirconium-based sorbent prior to LP-GC/MS–MS analysis. The developed method was evaluated at 4 spiking levels and further validated by analysis of NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 1974B and 1947. Sample preparation for a batch of 10 homogenized samples took about 1h/analyst, and LP-GC/MS–MS analysis provided fast separation of multiple analytes within 9min achieving high throughput. With the use of isotopically labeled internal standards, recoveries of all but one analyte were between 70 and 120% with relative standard deviations less than 20% (n =5). The measured values for both SRMs agreed with certified/reference values (72–119% accuracy) for the majority of analytes. The detection limits were 0.1–0.5ngg−1 for PCBs, 0.5–10ngg−1 for PBDEs, 0.5–5ngg−1 for select pesticides and PAHs and 1–10ngg−1 for flame retardants. The developed method was successfully applied for analysis of catfish samples from the market. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - One of the more unusual groups of insect pathogens consists of members of the family Polydnaviridae, insect DNA viruses that live in mutual symbioses with their associated parasitoid wasp (Hymentoptera) carriers until they are injected into specific lepidopteran hosts. Once inside this secondary host, polydnaviruses cause a wide variety of negative effects that ultimately ensure the survival of the parasitoid larvae. Because of their unusual life strategy and genetic features, it had been difficult to fully characterise polydnaviruses in terms of evolutionary history, replication cycle and functions in the host that might normally be well characterised for more conventional viruses. Recently, our understanding of polydnavirus evolutionary origins, gene content, genome organisation and functions in parasitism has greatly increased. Key findings are summarised in this review with emphasis on evolution of polydnavirus genes and genomes, their functional roles in insect pathology and their potential applications in insect biological control and biotechnology.

AB  - Abstract: Arsenical herbicides were used extensively for emergent weed control in Hawaiian sugar cane cultivation from 1913 to about 1950. As a result, surface soil arsenic concentrations average 280mgkg−1 across more than 60km2 of former sugar plantation land in the eastern portion of the Island of Hawaii. This study was conducted to elucidate the relationship between soil properties and arsenic bioaccessibility in the iron-rich volcanic soils. Soils are predominantly Andisols, formed by weathering of basaltic lava and tephra, with pedogenic solid phases consisting of short-range order iron oxyhydroxides, allophane-like aluminosilicates, and metal-humus compounds. These reactive solid phases strongly adsorb oxyanions, such as phosphate and arsenite/arsenate. High arsenic sorption capacity limits desorption and vertical migration within the soil column and prevents contamination of the underlying groundwater aquifer, despite high arsenic loading and precipitation rates. In vitro arsenic bioaccessibility, as measured by the SBRC gastric-phase test, ranges from 2% to 35% and averages 9% of total arsenic. Bioaccessible arsenic is higher in less weathered soils (Udifolists, Typic and Lithic Hydrudands) and lower in more weathered ash-dominant soils (Acrudoxic Hydrudands). Soil weathering indicators, such as reactive iron content, are strong predictors of arsenic bioaccessibility. Based on evidence from soil mineralogy, geochemistry and arsenic speciation, as well as limited soil arsenic bioavailability/bioaccessibility comparisons, risks to human health from direct contact (soil ingestion) are significantly reduced by low arsenic bioaccessibility. Nonetheless, some soils within former sugar cane cultivation areas contain bioaccessible arsenic concentrations exceeding Hawaii Department of Health risk-based action levels, and will require mitigating actions. Even higher levels of soil arsenic contamination have been identified at former pesticide storage and mixing areas, but are generally of localized extent. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Reliability of predictions from single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) can be calculated by matrix inversion, but that is not feasible for large data sets. Two methods of approximating reliability were developed based on the decomposition of a function of reliability into contributions from records, pedigrees, and geno-types. Those contributions can be expressed in record or daughter equivalents. The first approximation method involved inversion of a matrix that contains inverses of the genomic relationship matrix and the pedigree relationship matrix for genotyped animals. The second approximation method involved only the diagonal elements of those inverses. The 2 approximation methods were tested with a simulated data set. The correlations between ssGBLUP and approximated contributions from genomic information were 0.92 for the first approximation method and 0.56 for the second approximation method; contributions were inflated by 62 and 258%, respectively. The respective correlations for reliabilities were 0.98 and 0.72. After empirical correction for inflation, those correlations increased to 0.99 and 0.89. Approximations of reliabilities of predictions by ssGBLUP are accurate and computationally feasible for populations with up to 100,000 genotyped animals. A critical part of the approximations is quality control of information from single nucleotide polymorphisms and proper scaling of the genomic relationship matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genomic evaluations for 161,341 Holsteins were computed by using 311,725 of 777,962 markers on the Illumina Bovine-HD Genotyping BeadChip (HD). Initial edits with 1,741 HD genotypes from 5 breeds revealed that 636,967 markers were usable but that half were redundant. Holstein genotypes were from 1,510 animals with HD markers, 82,358 animals with 45,187 (50K) markers, 1,797 animals with 8,031 (8K) markers, 20,177 animals with 6,836 (6K) markers, 52,270 animals with 2,683 (3K) markers, and 3,229 nongenotyped dams (0K) with >90% of haplotypes imputable because they had 4 or more genotyped progeny. The Holstein HD genotypes were from 1,142 US, Canadian, British, and Italian sires, 196 other sires, 138 cows in a US Department of Agriculture research herd (Beltsville, MD), and 34 other females. Percentages of correctly imputed genotypes were tested by applying the programs find-hap and FImpute to a simulated chromosome for an earlier population that had only 1,112 animals with HD geno-types and none with 8K genotypes. For each chip, 1% of the genotypes were missing and 0.02% were incorrect initially. After imputation of missing markers with find-hap, percentages of genotypes correct were 99.9% from HD, 99.0% from 50K, 94.6% from 6K, 90.5% from 3K, and 93.5% from 0K. With FImpute, 99.96% were correct from HD, 99.3% from 50K, 94.7% from 6K, 91.1% from 3K, and 95.1% from 0K genotypes. Accuracy for the 3K and 6K genotypes further improved by approximately 2 percentage points if imputed first to 50K and then to HD instead of imputing all genotypes directly to HD. Evaluations were tested by using imputed actual genotypes and August 2008 phenotypes to predict deregressed evaluations of US bulls proven after August 2008. For 28 traits tested, the estimated genomic re-liability averaged 61.1% when using 311,725 markers vs. 60.7% when using 45,187 markers vs. 29.6% from the traditional parent average. Squared correlations with future data were slightly greater for 16 traits and slightly less for 12 with HD than with 50K evaluations. The observed 0.4 percentage point average increase in reliability was less favorable than the 0.9 expected from simulation but was similar to actual gains from other HD studies. The largest HD and 50K marker effects were often located at very similar positions. The single-breed evaluation tested here and previous single-breed or multibreed evaluations have not produced large gains. Increasing the number of HD genotypes used for imputation above 1,074 did not improve the reliability of Holstein genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant photosynthetic organism throughout much of the world's oceans, yet little is known about the ecology and genetic diversity of populations inhabiting tropical waters. To help close this gap, we examined natural Prochlorococcus communities in the tropical Pacific Ocean using a single-cell whole-genome amplification and sequencing. Analysis of the gene content of just 10 single cells from these waters added 394 new genes to the Prochlorococcus pan-genome-that is, genes never before seen in a Prochlorococcus cell. Analysis of marker genes, including the ribosomal internal transcribed sequence, from dozens of individual cells revealed several representatives from two uncultivated clades of Prochlorococcus previously identified as HNLC1 and HNLC2. While the HNLC clades can dominate Prochlorococcus communities under certain conditions, their overall geographic distribution was highly restricted compared with other clades of Prochlorococcus. In the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, these clades were only found in warm waters with low Fe and high inorganic P levels. Genomic analysis suggests that at least one of these clades thrives in low Fe environments by scavenging organic-bound Fe, a process previously unknown in Prochlorococcus. Furthermore, the capacity to utilize organic-bound Fe appears to have been acquired horizontally and may be exchanged among other clades of Prochlorococcus. Finally, one of the single Prochlorococcus cells sequenced contained a partial genome of what appears to be a prophage integrated into the genome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The average dressed weight for barrows and gilts slaughtered in the United States has increased 23% since 1977, from an annual average of 163lbs to 201lbs in 2010. This measure of pork production includes pork produced from US born and raised hogs as well as hogs imported from Canada. This paper addresses technological change in US born and raised pork production. Since pork produced from Canadian hogs could distort estimates of technological improvement and other variables describing changes in US born and raised pork production, a method of adjusting production data series for the portion of US pork production that comes from foreign-born hogs is developed. The resulting data are used to estimate the rate of change in average dressed weight, assumed to be due to technical change in the US swine herd. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We introduce a novel method for quantifying the response of tephritid fruit flies to chemical attractants (lures) under seminatural conditions by using automated detection and quantification via computer vision and an interruptible lure apparatus. We use this method to obtain a high-resolution (0.1 Hz) dataset representing the response of colony-reared melon flies, Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett, to cuelure [1-(p-acetoxyphenyl)-butan-3-one] at three different times of the day: morning (0900-1000 hours), mid (1200-1300 hours), and afternoon (1500-1600 hours), or al three times combined. Results consistently show a high and sustained response to cuelure in the morning period, a high but quickly decreasing response during the middle of the day and a low response in the afternoon. We propose possible reasons for the difference in response between the morning and middle of the day periods that could be investigated in future studies. The approach used here also can be used to study other important questions on the biology of tephritid fruit flies and other insects of similar size, particularly those involving their response to chemical lures.

AB  - Due to projected increases in winter air temperatures in the northeastern USA over the next 100 years, the snowpack is expected to decrease in depth and duration, thereby increasing soil exposure to freezing air temperatures. To evaluate the potential physiological responses of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.) to a reduced snowpack, we measured root injury, foliar cation and carbohydrate concentrations, woody shoot carbohydrate levels, and terminal woody shoot lengths of trees in a snow manipulation experiment in New Hampshire, USA. Snow was removed from treatment plots for the first 6 weeks of winter for two consecutive years, resulting in lower soil temperatures to a depth of 50 cm for both winters compared to reference plots with an undisturbed snowpack. Visibly uninjured roots from trees in the snow removal plots had significantly higher (but sub-lethal) levels of relative electrolyte leakage than trees in the reference plots. Foliar calcium: aluminum (Al) molar ratios were significantly lower, and Al concentrations were significantly higher, in trees from snow removal plots than trees from reference plots. Snow removal also reduced terminal shoot growth and increased foliar starch concentrations. Our results are consistent with previous research implicating soil freezing as a cause of soil acidification that leads to soil cation imbalances, but are the first to show that this translates into altered foliar cation pools, and changes in soluble and structural carbon pools in trees. Increased soil freezing due to a reduced snowpack could exacerbate soil cation imbalances already caused by acidic deposition, and have widespread implications for forest health in the northeastern USA.

AB  - Oxidative stress is involved in age-related cognitive decline. The dietary antioxidants, carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamin A may play a role in the prevention or delay in cognitive decline. In this study, sera were obtained from 78 octogenarians and 220 centenarians from the Georgia Centenarian Study. Brain tissues were obtained from 47 centenarian decedents. Samples were analyzed for carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and retinol using HPLC. Analyte concentrations were compared with cognitive tests designed to evaluate global cognition, dementia, depression and cognitive domains (memory, processing speed, attention, and executive functioning). Serum lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene concentrations were most consistently related to better cognition (P < 0.05) in the whole population and in the centenarians. Only serum lutein was significantly related to better cognition in the octogenarians. In brain, lutein and β-carotene were related to cognition with lutein being consistently associated with a range of measures. There were fewer significant relationships for α-tocopherol and a negative relationship between brain retinol concentrations and delayed recognition. These findings suggest that the status of certain carotenoids in the old may reflect their cognitive function. The protective effect may not be related to an antioxidant effect given that α-tocopherol was less related to cognition than these carotenoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Spatially-explicit depictions of plant productivity over large areas are critical to monitoring landscapes in highly heterogeneous arid ecosystems. Applying radiometric change detection techniques we sought to determine whether: (1) differences between pre- and post-growing season spectral vegetation index values effectively identify areas of significant change in vegetation; and (2) areas of significant change coincide with altered ecological states. We differenced NDVI values, standardized difference values to Z-scores to identify areas of significant increase and decrease in NDVI, and examined the ecological states associated with these areas. The vegetation index differencing method and translation of growing season NDVI to Z-scores permit examination of change over large areas and can be applied by non-experts. This method identified areas with potential for vegetation/ecological state transition and serves to guide field reconnaissance efforts that may ultimately inform land management decisions for millions of acres of federal lands.

AB  - In lower termites, functionally sterile larval helpers are totipotent-capable of becoming reproductively active with the loss of their colony's king or queen. Full reproductive development may take several weeks, but initiation of this developmental response most likely occurs shortly after colony members detect when a reproductive-specific signal is missing. We investigated the early response of termite helpers to the removal of their king and queen in the basal termite species Zootermopsis nevadensis. Within 6-12 h after reproductives were removed, helpers displayed an increase in head-butting-a behavior associated with dominance in other termite species as well as in closely related roaches. The loss of just one reproductive, either the king or queen, was also sufficient to cause an increase in head-butting. We did not find evidence, however, that this response was sex-specific: males and females were equally likely to increase head-butting independent of the sex of the reproductive that was removed. Finally, we discovered that reproductive-specific compounds present on the cuticle of king and queen termites were also present in their feces, but the presence of the feces did not seem sufficient to inhibit the increased head-butting after the reproductives were removed. Collectively, these results indicate that termite workers readily detect the loss of reproductives in their colony and that they at least initially respond in a non sex-specific manner.

AB  - Abstract: The evolution of eusociality is hypothesized to have involved de-coupling parental care from reproduction mediated by changes in endocrine regulation. While data for obligately eusocial insects are consistent with this hypothesis, we lack information from species representative of the transition from solitary reproduction to eusociality. Here we report the first evidence for a link between endocrine processes and social behavior in a facultatively eusocial bee, Megalopta genalis (Halictidae). Using females that varied in social, reproductive, and ecological context, we measured juvenile hormone (JH), a major regulator of colony caste dynamics in other eusocial species. JH was low at adult emergence, but elevated after 10days in all nesting females. Females reared in cages with ad lib nutrition, however, did not elevate JH levels after 10days. All reproductive females had significantly more JH than all age-matched non-reproductive females, suggesting a gonadotropic function. Among females in established nests, JH was higher in queens than workers and solitary reproductives, suggesting a role for JH in social dominance. A lack of significant differences in JH between solitary reproductives and non-reproductive workers suggests that JH content reflects more than reproductive status. Our data support the hypothesis that endocrine modifications are involved in the evolutionary decoupling of reproductive and somatic effort in social insects. These are the first measurements of JH in a solitary-nesting hymenopteran, and the first to compare eusocial and solitary nesting individuals of the same species. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Rubisco activase (Rca) is a chaperone-like protein of the AAA+ family, which uses mechano-chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to release tightly bound inhibitors from the active site of the primary carbon fixing enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate oxygenase/carboxylase (Rubisco). Mechanistic and structural investigations of Rca have been hampered by its exceptional thermolability, high degree of size polydispersity and propensity towards subunit aggregation. In this work, we have characterized the thermal stability and self-association behavior of recombinant Rca preparations, and have developed ligand screening methods. Thermal denaturation profiles generated by circular dichroism indicate that creosote and tobacco short-form Rcas are the most stable proteins examined, with an estimated mid-point temperature of 45–47°C for protein denaturation. We demonstrate that ADP provides a higher degree of stabilization than ATP, that magnesium ions have a small stabilizing effect on ATP-bound, but a significant destabilizing effect on ADP-bound Rca, and that phosphate provides weak stabilization of the ADP-bound form of the protein. A dimeric species was identified by size-exclusion chromatography, suggesting that the two-subunit module may comprise the basic building block for larger assemblies. Evidence is provided that chromatographic procedures reflect non-equilibrium multimeric states. Dynamic light scattering experiments performed on nucleotide-bearing Rca support the notion that several larger, highly polydisperse assembly states coexist over a broad concentration range. No significant changes in aggregation are observed upon replacement of ADP with ATP. However, in the absence of nucleotides, the major protein population appears to consist of a monodisperse oligomer smaller than a hexamer. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Fresh vegetables have been recurrently associated with salmonellosis outbreaks, and Salmonella contamination of retail produce has been correlated positively with the presence of soft rot disease. We observed that population sizes of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 increased 56-fold when inoculated alone onto dilantro leaves, versus 2,884-fold when coinoculated with Dickeya dadantii, a prevalent pathogen that macerates plant tissue. A similar trend in S. enterica populations was observed for soft-rotted lettuce leaves. Transcriptome analysis of S. enterica cells that colonized D. dadantii-infected lettuce and cilantro leaves revealed a clear shift toward anaerobic metabolism and catabolism of substrates that are available due to the degradation of plant cells by the pectinolytic pathogen. Twenty-nine percent of the genes that were upregulated in cilantro macerates were also previously observed to have increased expression levels in the chicken intestine. Furthermore, multiple genes induced in soft rot lesions are also involved in the colonization of mouse, pig, and bovine models of host infection. Among those genes, the operons for ethanolamine and propanediol utilization as well as for the synthesis of cobalamin, a cofactor in these pathways, were the most highly upregulated genes in lettuce and cilantro lesions. In S. Typhimurium strain LT2, population sizes of mu- tants deficient in propanediol utilization or cobalamin synthesis were 10- and 3-fold lower, respectively, than those of the wild- type strain in macerated dilantro (P < 0.0002); in strain SL1344, such mutants behaved similarly to the parental strain. Anaerobic conditions and the utilization of nutrients in macerated plant tissue that are also present in the animal intestine indicate a niche overlap that may explain the high level of adaptation of S. enter-iCa to soft rot lesions, a common postharvest plant disease.

AB  - Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), were immunized with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) theronts and trophonts, and the immune response and host protection against both homologous and heterologous serotypes of Ich were evaluated. Immunizations were done with two immobilization serotypes (ARS4 and ARS6) of live theronts by bath immersion (trial I) and with sonicated trophonts by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection (trial II). Cutaneous and serum antibody titres against Ich following immunization were measured and survival of catfish was determined after theront challenge. Theronts were immobilized by the antiserum from fish immunized with homologous theronts or trophonts, but not by the serum of fish immunized with the heterologous serotype. Serum from fish immunized by immersion with live theronts showed higher enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titres against both homologous and heterologous serotypes than fish immunized by i.p. injection of trophonts. Channel catfish immunized by immersion with live theronts or by i.p. injection with sonicated trophonts developed an immune response against Ich and provided cross-protection against challenge from both serotypes (ARS4 and ARS6) of the parasite. Sonicated trophont antigens in aqueous solution by i.p. injection could stimulate an immune response in fish, but the immunity was of short duration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Predicting emerging diseases is among the most difficult challenges facing researchers and health managers. We present available approaches and tools to detect emerging diseases in animals based on clinical observations of farm animals by veterinarians. Three information systems are described and discussed: Veterinary Practitioner Aided Disease Surveillance in New Zealand, the Rapid Syndrome Validation Project--Animal in the United States, and "émergences" in France. These systems are based on syndromic surveillance with the notification of every case or of specific clinical syndromes or on the notification of atypical clinical cases. Data are entered by field veterinarians into forms available through Internet-accessible devices. Beyond challenges of implementing new information systems, minimizing economic and health effects from emerging diseases in animals requires strong synergies across a group of field partners, in research, and in international animal and public health customs and practices.

AB  - The effects of adding the nonlethal bird repellent methyl anthranilate (MA), at levels of 100 and 1000 mg kg−1, to fish feed on the bioaccumulation and growth of juvenile (10 g) hybrid striped bass ( Morone chrysops× M. saxatilis) and juvenile (1 g) African cichlid fish Aulonocara jacobfreibergi were investigated under laboratory conditions. The bird repellent did not have any effect on the fish growth or survival over a period of 6 weeks. MA residues at low levels of 11.2±2.6 μg g−1 were found in lipophilic tissues (liver) of MA-fed fish. Control fish, which had no MA added to their diet, had a much lower level of 0.6±0.3 μg g−1 MA in their liver. Fish muscle was found to contain negligible MA residues, while the outer body surface mucus did not contain any MA. Following a 6-week depuration period, during which the previously MA-fed hybrid striped bass were fed a feed to which no MA was added, the levels of MA residues detected were reduced by one order of magnitude.

AB  - Primary objective : To determine whether boron deprivation affects rat behaviour and whether behavioural responses to boron deprivation are modified by differing amounts of dietary long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Research design : Female rats were fed diets containing 0.1 mg (9 μmol)/kg boron in a factorial arrangement with dietary variables of supplemental boron at 0 and 3 mg (278 μmol)/kg and fat sources of 75 g/kg safflower oil or 65 g/kg fish (menhaden) oil plus 10 g/kg linoleic acid. After 6 weeks, six females per treatment were bred. Dams and pups continued on their respective diets through gestation, lactation and after weaning. Between ages 6 and 20 weeks, behavioural tests were performed on 13–15 male offspring from three dams in each dietary treatment. The rats were euthanized at age 21 weeks for the collection of tissues and blood. Methods and procedures : At ages 6 and 19 weeks, auditory startle was evaluated with an acoustic startle system and avoidance behaviour was evaluated by using an elevated plus maze. At ages 7 and 20 weeks, spontaneous behaviour activity was evaluated with a photobeam activity system. A brightness discrimination test was performed on the rats between age 15 and 16 weeks. Brain mineral composition was determined by coupled argon plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Plasma total glutathione was determined by HPLC and total cholesterol and 8- iso -prostaglandin F 2α (8- iso -PGF 2α ) were determined by using commercially available kits. Main outcomes and results : Boron-deficient rats were less active than boron-adequate rats when fed safflower oil based on reduced number, distance and time of horizontal movements, front entries, margin distance and vertical breaks and jumps in the spontaneous activity evaluation. Feeding fish oil instead of safflower oil attenuated the activity response to boron deprivation. In the plus maze evaluation, the behavioural reactivity of the boron-deficient rats fed fish oil was noticeably different than the other three treatments. They made more entries into both open and closed arms and the center area and thus visited more locations. The boron-deficient rats fed fish oil also exhibited the lowest copper and zinc and highest boron concentrations in brain and the highest plasma glutathione concentration. Both boron deprivation and safflower oil increased plasma 8- iso -PGF 2α . Conclusions : Both dietary boron and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids influence rat behaviour and brain composition and the influence of one these bioactive substances can be altered by changing the intake of the other. Brain mineral and plasma cholesterol, glutathione and 8- iso -PGF 2α findings suggest that rat behaviour is affected by an interaction between boron and fish oil because both affect oxidative metabolism and act the cellular membrane level.

AB  - Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as defined here are single base sequence changes or short insertion/deletions between or within individuals of a given species. As a result of their abundance and the availability of high throughput analysis technologies SNP markers have begun to replace other traditional markers such as restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs or microsatellite) markers for fine mapping and association studies in several species. For SNP discovery from chromatogram data, several bioinformatics programs have to be combined to generate an analysis pipeline. Results have to be stored in a relational database to facilitate interrogation through queries or to generate data for further analyses such as determination of linkage disequilibrium and identification of common haplotypes. Although these tasks are routinely performed by several groups, an integrated open source SNP discovery pipeline that can be easily adapted by new groups interested in SNP marker development is currently unavailable. Results: We developed SNP-PHAGE (SNP discovery Pipeline with additional features for identification of common haplotypes within a sequence tagged site (Haplotype Analysis) and GenBank (-dbSNP) submissions. This tool was applied for analyzing sequence traces from diverse soybean genotypes to discover over 10,000 SNPs. This package was developed on UNIX/Linux platform, written in Perl and uses a MySQL database. Scripts to generate a user-friendly web interface are also provided with common queries for preliminary data analysis. A machine learning tool developed by this group for increasing the efficiency of SNP discovery is integrated as a part of this package as an optional feature. The SNP-PHAGE package is being made available open source at http://bfgl.anri.barc.usda.gov/ML/snp-phage/. Conclusion: SNP-PHAGE provides a bioinformatics solution for high throughput SNP discovery, identification of common haplotypes within an amplicon, and GenBank (dbSNP) submissions. SNP selection and visualization are aided through a user-friendly web interface. This tool is useful for analyzing sequence tagged sites (STSs) of genomic sequences, and this software can serve as a starting point for groups interested in developing SNP markers.

AB  - Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) constitute more than 90% of the genetic variation, and hence can account for most trait differences among individuals in a given species. Polymorphism detection software PolyBayes and PolyPhred give high false positive SNP predictions even with stringent parameter values. We developed a machine learning (ML) method to augment PolyBayes to improve its prediction accuracy. ML methods have also been successfully applied to other bioinformatics problems in predicting genes, promoters, transcription factor binding sites and protein structures. Results: The ML program C4.5 was applied to a set of features in order to build a SNP classifier from training data based on human expert decisions (True/False). The training data were 27,275 candidate SNP generated by sequencing 1973 STS (sequence tag sites) (12 Mb) in both directions from 6 diverse homozygous soybean cultivars and PolyBayes analysis. Test data of 18,390 candidate SNP were generated similarly from 1359 additional STS (8 Mb). SNP from both sets were classified by experts. After training the ML classifier, it agreed with the experts on 97.3% of test data compared with 7.8% agreement between PolyBayes and experts. The PolyBayes positive predictive values (PPV) (i.e., fraction of candidate SNP being real) were 7.8% for all predictions and 16.7% for those with 100% posterior probability of being real. Using ML improved the PPV to 84.8%, a 5- to 10-fold increase. While both ML and PolyBayes produced a similar number of true positives, the ML program generated only 249 false positives as compared to 16,955 for PolyBayes. The complexity of the soybean genome may have contributed to high false SNP predictions by PolyBayes and hence results may differ for other genomes. Conclusion: A machine learning (ML) method was developed as a supplementary feature to the polymorphism detection software for improving prediction accuracies. The results from this study indicate that a trained ML classifier can significantly reduce human intervention and in this case achieved a 5-10 fold enhanced productivity. The optimized feature set and ML framework can also be applied to all polymorphism discovery software. ML support software is written in Perl and can be easily integrated into an existing SNP discovery pipeline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - It is difficult to obtain precise and accurate estimates of the true mycotoxin concentration of a bulk lot when using a mycotoxin-sampling plan that measures the concentration in only a small portion of the bulk lot. A mycotoxin-sampling plan is defined by a mycotoxin test procedure and a defined accept/reject limit. A mycotoxin test procedure is a complicated process and generally consists of several steps: (1) a sample of a given size is taken from the lot, (2) the sample is ground (comminuted) in a mill to reduce its particle size, (3) a subsample is removed from the comminuted sample, and (4) the mycotoxin is extracted from the comminuted subsample and quantified. Even when using accepted test procedures, there is uncertainty associated with each step of the mycotoxin test procedure. Because of this variability, the true mycotoxin concentration in the lot cannot be determined with 100% certainty by measuring the mycotoxin concentration in a sample taken from the lot. The variability for each step of the mycotoxin test procedure, as measured by the variance statistic, is shown to increase with mycotoxin concentration. Sampling is usually the largest source of variability associated with the mycotoxin test procedure. Sampling variability is large because a small percentage of kernels are contaminated and the level of contamination on a single seed can be very large. Methods to reduce sampling, sample preparation and analytical variability are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effects of stream size and flow regime on spatial and temporal variability of stream fish distribution, abundance, and diversity patterns were investigated. Assemblage variability and species richness were each significantly associated with a complex environmental gradient contrasting smaller, hydrologically variable stream localities with larger localities characterized by more stable flow regimes. Assemblages showing the least variability were the most species-rich and occurred in relatively large, stable environments. Theory suggests that species richness can be an important determinant of assemblage variability. Although this appears to be true in our system, we suggest that spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the environment largely determines both assemblage richness and variability, providing a more parsimonious explanation for the diversity–variability correlation. Changes in species richness of local assemblages across time were coordinated across the landscape, and assemblages formed spatially and temporally nested subset patterns. These results suggest an important link between local community dynamics and community-wide occurrence. At the species level, mean local persistence was significantly associated with regional occurrence. Thus, the more widespread a species was, the greater its local persistence. Our results illustrate how the integrity of local stream fish assemblages is dependent on local environmental conditions, regional patterns of species distribution, and landscape continuity.

AB  - Nous avons étudié les effets de la taille du cours d'eau et du régime des eaux sur la variabilité spatiale et temporelle de la répartition, de l'abondance et des patrons de diversité des poissons dans ce cours d'eau. La variabilité du peuplement et la richesse en espèces sont toutes deux associées significativement à un gradient complexe du milieu, mais de façon différente dans les sites lotiques plus petits à hydrologie variable et les sites plus grands à régime hydrologique plus stable. Les peuplements qui subissent le moins de variabilité sont ceux qui ont la richesse en espèces la plus importante et qui se retrouvent sur les sites plus étendus et plus stables. La théorie écologique indique que la richesse en espèces peut être un important facteur déterminant de la variabilité des peuplements. Bien que cela semble être le cas dans le système que nous avons étudié, nous croyons que l'hétérogénéité spatiale et temporelle du milieu détermine en grande mesure tant la variabilité que la richesse des peuplements, ce qui explique de façon plus parcimonieuse la corrélation diversité–variabilité. Les changements de richesse en espèces des peuplements locaux au cours du temps sont synchronisés sur tout le paysage et les peuplements forment des patrons de sous-ensembles emboîtés spatialement et temporellement. Nos résultats indiquent un lien important entre la dynamique de la communauté locale et l'occurrence à l'échelle de la communauté. Au niveau spécifique, la persistance locale moyenne est associée significativement à l'occurrence régionale. Ainsi, plus une espèce est largement répartie, plus sa persistance locale est grande. Nos résultats montrent combien l'intégrité des peuplements locaux de poissons dépend des conditions locales de l'environnement, des patrons régionaux de répartition des espèces et de la continuité du paysage.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Variability of matrix effects in liquid and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of pesticide residues after QuEChERS sample preparation of different food crops

AB  - Abstract: Gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) serve as the most powerful analytical tools commonly used to monitor pesticide residues in food, among other applications. However, both GC–MS and LC–MS are susceptible to matrix effects which can adversely affect quantification depending on the analyte, matrix, sample preparation, instrumentation, and operating conditions. Among the approaches that reduce matrix effects, the most common in pesticide residue applications is matrix-matched calibration because it is relatively inexpensive and simple. Also, it has been shown to work well during method validation when fortified samples are exactly matched with samples used for calibration. However, the quality of matrix-matched results in real-world analyses depends on the consistency of matrix effects among diverse samples. In this study, the variability of matrix effects was measured for 38 representative pesticides in 20 samples each (including different varieties) of rice, orange, apple, and spinach extracted using the “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” (QuEChERS) method for analysis by LC–MS/MS and low-pressure GC–MS. Using LC–MS/MS, only oranges gave >20% matrix effects for a few pesticides. GC–MS exhibited larger matrix effects, but as in LC–MS/MS, the differences were reasonably consistent among the 20 samples tested. Main conclusions of this study are that for the conditions utilized: (1) matrix-matching was not needed for most pesticides in the simpler food matrices; and (2) for the more complex orange matrix, acceptably accurate quantitative results were achieved by using matrix-matching even with a different sample of the same type. However, full confidence cannot be extended to matrix-matched results, and for consequential applications such as regulatory enforcement, confirmatory analyses using alternate quantitative determinations should also be conducted.

AB  - Well-functioning food webs are fundamental for sustaining rivers as ecosystems and maintaining associated aquatic and terrestrial communities. The current emphasis on restoring habitat structure—without explicitly considering food webs—has been less successful than hoped in terms of enhancing the status of targeted species and often overlooks important constraints on ecologically effective restoration. We identify three priority food web-related issues that potentially impede successful river restoration: uncertainty about habitat carrying capacity, proliferation of chemicals and contaminants, and emergence of hybrid food webs containing a mixture of native and invasive species. Additionally, there is the need to place these food web considerations in a broad temporal and spatial framework by understanding the consequences of altered nutrient, organic matter (energy), water, and thermal sources and flows, reconnecting critical habitats and their food webs, and restoring for changing environments. As an illustration, we discuss how the Columbia River Basin, site of one of the largest aquatic/riparian restoration programs in the United States, would benefit from implementing a food web perspective. A food web perspective for the Columbia River would complement ongoing approaches and enhance the ability to meet the vision and legal obligations of the US Endangered Species Act, the Northwest Power Act (Fish and Wildlife Program), and federal treaties with Northwest Indian Tribes while meeting fundamental needs for improved river management.

AB  - Cities have been expanding rapidly worldwide, especially over the past few decades. Mapping the dynamic expansion of impervious surface in both space and time is essential for an improved understanding of the urbanization process, land-cover and land-use change, and their impacts on the environment. Landsat and other medium-resolution satellites provide the necessary spatial details and temporal frequency for mapping impervious surface expansion over the past four decades. Since the US Geological Survey opened the historical record of the Landsat image archive for free access in 2008, the decades-old bottleneck of data limitation has gone. Remote-sensing scientists are now rich with data, and the challenge is how to make best use of this precious resource. In this article, we develop an efficient algorithm to map the continuous expansion of impervious surface using a time series of four decades of medium-resolution satellite images. The algorithm is based on a supervised classification of the time-series image stack using a decision tree. Each imerpervious class represents urbanization starting in a different image. The algorithm also allows us to remove inconsistent training samples because impervious expansion is not reversible during the study period. The objective is to extract a time series of complete and consistent impervious surface maps from a corresponding times series of images collected from multiple sensors, and with a minimal amount of image preprocessing effort. The approach was tested in the lower Yangtze River Delta region, one of the fastest urban growth areas in China. Results from nearly four decades of medium-resolution satellite data from the Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) and China–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS) show a consistent urbanization process that is consistent with economic development plans and policies. The time-series impervious spatial extent maps derived from this study agree well with an existing urban extent polygon data set that was previously developed independently. The overall mapping accuracy was estimated at about 92.5% with 3% commission error and 12% omission error for the impervious type from all images regardless of image quality and initial spatial resolution.

AB  - Nematodes use an extensive chemical language based on glycosides of the dideoxysugar ascarylose for developmental regulation (dauer formation), male sex attraction, aggregation, and dispersal. However, no examples of a femaleor hermaphrodite-specific sex attractant have been identified to date. In this study, we investigated the pheromone system of the gonochoristic sour paste nematode Panagrellus redivivus, which produces sex-specific attractants of the opposite sex. Activity-guided fractionation of the P. redivivus exometabolome revealed that males are strongly attracted to ascr#1 (also known as daumone), an ascaroside previously identified from Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites. Female P. redivivus are repelled by high concentrations of ascr#1 but are specifically attracted to a previously unknown ascaroside that we named dhas#18, a dihydroxy derivative of the known ascr#18 and an ascaroside that features extensive functionalization of the lipid-derived side chain. Targeted profiling of the P. redivivus exometabolome revealed several additional ascarosides that did not induce strong chemotaxis. We show that P. redivivus females, but not males, produce the male-attracting ascr#1, whereas males, but not females, produce the female-attracting dhas#18. These results show that ascaroside biosynthesis in P. redivivus is highly sex-specific. Furthermore, the extensive side chain functionalization in dhas#18, which is reminiscent of polyketide-derived natural products, indicates unanticipated biosynthetic capabilities in nematodes.

AB  - Synucleins are a family of homologous proteins principally known for their involvement in neurodegeneration. γ-Synuclein is highly expressed in human white adipose tissue and increased in obesity. Here we show that γ-Synuclein is nutritionally regulated in white adipose tissue whereas its loss partially protects mice from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and ameliorates some of the associated metabolic complications. Compared with HFD-fed WT mice, HFD-fed γ-Synuclein-null mutant mice display increased lipolysis, lipid oxidation, and energy expenditure, and reduced adipocyte hypertrophy. Knockdown of γ-Synuclein in adipocytes causes redistribution of the key lipolytic enzyme ATGL to lipid droplets and increases lipolysis. γ-Synuclein—deficient adipocytes also contain fewer SNARE complexes of a type involved in lipid droplet fusion. We hypothesize that γ-Synuclein may deliver SNAP-23 to the SNARE complexes under lipogenic conditions. Via these independent but complementary roles, γ-Synuclein may coordinately modulate lipid storage by influencing lipolysis and lipid droplet formation. Our data reveal γ-synuclein as a regulator of lipid handkng in adipocytes, the function of which is particularly important in conditions of nutrient excess. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen, with methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and multi-drug resistant strains becoming increasingly prevalent in both human and veterinary clinics. S. aureus causing bovine mastitis yields high annual losses to the dairy industry. Conventional treatment of mastitis by broad range antibiotics is often not successful and may contribute to development of antibiotic resistance. Bacteriophage endolysins present a promising new source of antimicrobials. The endolysin of prophage ΦSH2 of Staphylococcus haemolyticus strain JCSC1435 (ΦSH2 lysin) is a peptidoglycan hydrolase consisting of two catalytic domains (CHAP and amidase) and an SH3b cell wall binding domain. In this work, we demonstrated its lytic activity against live staphylococcal cells and investigated the contribution of each functional module to bacterial lysis by testing a series of deletion constructs in zymograms and turbidity reduction assays. The CHAP domain exhibited three-fold higher activity than the full length protein and optimum activity in physiological saline. This activity was further enhanced by the presence of bivalent calcium ions. The SH3b domain was shown to be required for full activity of the complete ΦSH2 lysin. The full length enzyme and the CHAP domain showed activity against multiple staphylococcal strains, including MRSA strains, mastitis isolates, and CoNS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The unprecedented engagement of scientists from government, academia, and industry enabled multiple unanticipated and unique problems to be addressed during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. During the months between the initial blowout on April 20, 2010, and the final well kill on September 19, 2010, researchers prepared options, analyses of tradeoffs, assessments, and calculations of uncertainties associated with the flow rate of the well, well shut in, killing the well, and determination of the location of oil released into the environment. This information was used in near real time by the National Incident Commander and other government decision-makers. It increased transparency into BP's proposed actions and gave the government confidence that, at each stage proposed, courses of action had been thoroughly vetted to reduce risk to human life and the environment and improve chances of success.

AB  - This introduction to the Special Feature presents the context for science during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response, summarizes how scientific knowledge was integrated across disciplines and statutory responsibilities, identifies areas where scientific information was accurate and where it was not, and considers lessons learned and recommendations for future research and response. Scientific information was integrated within and across federal and state agencies, with input from nongovernmental scientists, across a diverse portfolio of needs-stopping the flow of oil, estimating the amount of oil, capturing and recovering the oil, tracking and forecasting surface oil, protecting coastal and oceanic wildlife and habitat, managing fisheries, and protecting the safety of seafood. Disciplines involved included atmospheric, oceanographic, biogeochemical, ecological, health, biological, and chemical sciences, physics, geology, and mechanical and chemical engineering. Platforms ranged from satellites and planes to ships, buoys, gliders, and remotely operated vehicles to laboratories and computer simulations. The unprecedented response effort depended directly on intense and extensive scientific and engineering data, information, and advice. Many valuable lessons were learned that should be applied to future events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We present heat capacity, c-axis thermal expansion and pressure-dependent, low-field, temperature-dependent magnetization for pressures up to ~12 kbar, data for KFe2As2 single crystals. Tc decreases under pressure with dTc/d P ≈-0.10 K/kbar. The inferred uniaxial, c-axis, pressure derivative is positive, dTc/dpc≈ 0.11 K/kbar. The data are analyzed in comparison with those for overdoped Fe-based superconductors. Arguments are presented that superconductivity in KFe2As2 may be different from the other overdoped, Fe-based materials in the 122 family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: During the summer of 2001, the spatial variation of the surface energy fluxes across short distances, 16m to 32m, was examined over a sagebrush steppe ecosystem in northeastern Colorado. Two eddy covariance micrometeorological stations were used to test the hypothesis that fine-scale variations in the physical properties of the site result in significant variation in the surface energy balance. Through a comparative analysis of the flux measurements, it was found that statistically significant variations in the sensible, latent and soil heat fluxes were present at the study site. These variations were linked to small changes in the near-surface soil moisture content and leaf area index. The results of this study suggest there may be substantial uncertainty surrounding a single point measurement when it is used to represent the exchange of heat and moisture over a large area. This uncertainty must be considered when using in-situ measurements to evaluate remote sensing products or numerical models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - BACKGROUND: The incidence of unilateral retinoblastoma varies globally, suggesting possible environmental contributors to disease incidence. Maternal intake of naturally occurring folate from vegetables during pregnancy is associated inversely with the risk of retinoblastoma in offspring. METHODS: The authors used a case-control study design to examine the association between retinoblastoma risk and maternal variations in the folate-metabolizing genes methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR) (a cytosine-to-thymine substitution at nucleotide 677 [ MTHFR677C→T]; reference single nucleotide polymorphism rs1801133) and dihydrofolate reductase ( DHFR) (a 19-base-pair deletion of intron 1a [ DHFR19bpdel]; rs70991108). In central Mexico, 103 mothers of children with newly diagnosed unilateral retinoblastoma were enrolled in an institutional review board-approved study along with a control group of 97 mothers who had healthy children. Mothers were interviewed regarding perinatal characteristics, including use of prenatal vitamin supplements, and gave peripheral blood samples, which were used for polymerase chain reaction-based genotyping of rs1801133 and rs70991108. RESULTS: The risk of having a child with unilateral retinoblastoma was associated with maternal homozygosity for DHFR19bpdel (odds ratio, 3.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.89-7.55; P = .0002), even after controlling for the child's DHFR19bpdel genotype (odds ratio, 2.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.32-5.99; P = .0073). In a subgroup of 167 mothers with data on prenatal intake of supplements containing folic acid (a synthetic form of folate), DHFR19bpdel-associated risk was elevated significantly only among those who reported taking folic acid supplements. Maternal MTHFR genotype was unrelated to the risk of having a child with retinoblastoma. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal homozygosity for a polymorphism in the DHFR gene necessary for converting synthetic folic acid into biologic folate was associated with an increased risk for retinoblastoma. Prenatal ingestion of synthetic folic acid supplements may be associated with increased risk for early childhood carcinogenesis in a genetically susceptible subset of the population.

AB  - The article reports a study which was conducted to determine brucellosis seroprevalence among a population of persons working in professionas at high risk for exposure. The results revealed that veterinarians had a statistically significant association with measurable anti-Brucella antibodies. This indicates that the risk to general public from Brucella among wildlife and cattle can be attributed a subpopulation at a higher risk of infection.

AB  - The article presents a study which examined the effects of glycerol on feed sorting and the feed intake patterns of dairy cows that are used to high-moisture corn. The total mixed ration (TMR) was measured to ascertain the feed consumption pattern of cows during pre- and post-partum periods. The sorting behavior of cows and their feed consumption pattern changed after the introduction of glycerol, which may decrease diurnal variations in the rumen environment.

AB  - Abstract: The evolutionary history and epidemiology of parasites may be reflected in the extent and geographic distribution of their genetic variation. Among coccidian parasites, the population structure of only Toxoplasma gondii has been extensively examined. Intraspecific variation in other coccidia, for example, those assigned to the genus Besnoitia, remains poorly defined. Here, we characterize the extent of genetic variation among populations of Besnoitia tarandi, a parasite whose intermediate hosts include reindeer/caribou (Rangifer tarandus). Isolates from the Canadian Arctic and Finnish sub-Arctic were genotyped at six microsatellite loci, the first internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear rDNA, and the RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB) encoded in the plastid genome. Remarkably, all isolates exhibited the same multilocus genotype, regardless of the isolate’s geographic origin. This absolute monomorphism occurred despite the capacity of these loci to vary, as established by evident differentiation between B. tarandi and two other species of Besnoitia, and variation among four isolates of B. besnoiti. The surprising lack of genetic variation across the sampled range suggests that B. tarandi may have experienced a recent population bottleneck. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Common scab (CS) is an important disease and quality problem in potato crops worldwide. CS degrades the appearance of the potato tubers, thereby diminishing market value. Knowledge of CS has expanded considerably over recent years, enabling improved detection of the causal pathogens and increased understanding of mechanisms of pathogenicity, and providing potential methods of modulating pathogen response for disease resistance. However, effective control of this disease remains elusive, and will require increased understanding of both the host and the pathogen. Traditional control strategies such as irrigation and reduced soil pH are not sufficient and often fail. Optimizing environmental conditions for reduction of CS can also lead to favorable conditions for other diseases. The most desirable control method would be disease-resistant potato cultivars. However, no currently available commercial potato cultivar has been shown to be completely resistant to CS. In this review, we provide an overview of potato CS caused by plant pathogenic Streptomyces species, recent research on mechanisms and management of the disease, and knowledge gaps that limit successful control of this ubiquitous and troublesome disease.

AB  - Water availability for turfgrass systems is often limited and is likely to become more so in the future. Here, we conducted experiments that examined the ability of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) to control transpiration with increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and determined whether control was influenced by temperature. The first study was under steady-state conditions at two temperatures (21 and 27°C) and two VPDs (1.2 and 1.8 kPa). At the lower temperature, water use was similar at both VPDs, indicating a restriction of transpiration at high VPD. At 27°C, transpiration control at high VPD was weakened and root growth also declined; both responses increase susceptibility to water-deficit stress. Another series of experiments was used to examine the physiological stability of the transpiration control. Temperature and VPD were adjusted in a stepwise manner and transpiration measured across a range of VPD in the days following environmental shifts. Results indicated that VPD control acclimated to the growth environment, with adjustment to drier conditions becoming evident after ~1 week. Control was again more effective at cool than at hot temperatures. Collectively, the results indicate that transpiration control by this cool season grass is most effective in the temperature range where it is best adapted. Understanding how turfgrasses control water use is vital for development of new drought tolerant varieties and determination of irrigation needs. Our results show that tall fescue has the ability to limit water loss in dry air, but that this control is inhibited at high temperature and strengthened by extended exposure to dry conditions. The changeable nature of plant control of water use, which adjusts depending on growth environment, must be considered during variety development and may cause considerable variation in irrigation requirements.

AB  - Abstract: Heat transfer research affects almost every sector of the economy, yet its impacts have not been well studied or communicated to date. To address this issue, this article evaluates recent heat transfer research trends and which parts of the economy are likely to be affected by it. Analysis is done through keywords in heat transfer journals, US NSF awards, US patents, and trends in US economic sectors. This study indicates that if heat transfer research helps to attain a 10% conversion efficiency gain in all relevant sectors of the US economy, ~110billion dolars of annual value added could be generated.

AB  - Fatty acid metabolism has received significant attention as a route for producing high-energy density, liquid transportation fuels and high-value oleochemicals from renewable feedstocks. If microbes can be engineered to produce these compounds at yields that approach the theoretical limits of 0.3–0.4g/g glucose, then processes can be developed to replace current petrochemical technologies. Here, we review recent metabolic engineering efforts to maximize production of free fatty acids (FFA) in Escherichia coli, the first step towards production of downstream products. To date, metabolic engineers have succeeded in achieving higher yields of FFA than any downstream products. Regulation of fatty acid metabolism and the physiological effects of fatty acid production will also be reviewed from the perspective of identifying future engineering targets.

AB  - We previously reported the apparent formation of matrix adducts of 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid (sinapinic acid or SA) via covalent attachment to disulfide bond-containing proteins (HdeA, Hde, and YbgS) from bacterial cell lysates ionized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (TOF-TOF-MS/MS) and post-source decay (PSD). We also reported the absence of adduct formation when using α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) matrix. Further mass spectrometric analysis of disulfide-intact and disulfide-reduced over-expressed HdeA and HdeB proteins from lysates of gene-inserted E. coli plasmids suggests covalent attachment of SA occurs not at cysteine residues but at lysine residues. In this revised hypothesis, the attachment of SA is preceded by formation of a solid phase ammonium carboxylate salt between SA and accessible lysine residues of the protein during sample preparation under acidic conditions. Laser irradiation at 355 nm of the dried sample spot results in equilibrium retrogradation followed by nucleophilic attack by the amine group of lysine at the carbonyl group of SA and subsequent amide bond formation and loss of water. The absence of CHCA adducts suggests that the electron-withdrawing effect of the α-cyano group of this matrix may inhibit salt formation and/or amide bond formation. This revised hypothesis is supported by dissociative loss of SA (−224 Da) and the amide-bound SA (−206 Da) from SA-adducted HdeA and HdeB ions by MS/MS (PSD). It is proposed that cleavage of the amide-bound SA from the lysine side-chain occurs via rearrangement involving a pentacyclic transition state followed by hydrogen abstraction/migration and loss of 3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-ynal (−206 Da).

AB  - Abstract: NaFePO4 is a naturally occurring mineral known as maricite. This compound has not been well characterized or examined for its potential use in battery applications. In the present study, NaFePO4 has been synthesized via the Pechini process with the resulting sample being characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Electrochemical properties have been investigated for possible application as a cathode in sodium-ion batteries. Electrodes of these materials were tested in coin cells using LiPF6 as the electrolyte and lithium metal as the counter electrode. Constant current cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ frequency response analyses were performed. The results obtained demonstrate constant capacity or progressive increase in capacity with the consistently low internal resistance exhibited over consecutive cycles indicating possible application as a lithium analog in Na-ion batteries.

AB  - Agricultural and industrial practices more than doubled the intrinsic rate of terrestrial N fixation over the past century with drastic consequences, including increased atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) concentrations. N2O is a potent greenhouse gas and contributor to ozone layer destruction, and its release from fixed N is almost entirely controlled by microbial activities. Mitigation of N2O emissions to the atmosphere has been attributed exclusively to denitrifiers possessing NosZ, the enzyme system catalyzing N2O to N2 reduction. We demonstrate that diverse microbial taxa possess divergent nos clusters with genes that are related yet evolutionarily distinct from the typical nos genes of denitirifers. nos clusters with atypical nosZ occur in Bacteria and Archaea that denitrify (44% of genomes), do not possess other denitrification genes (56%), or perform dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA; (31%). Experiments with the DNRA soil bacterium Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans demonstrated that the atypical NosZ is an effective N2O reductase, and PCR-based surveys suggested that atypical nosZ are abundant in terrestrial environments. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that atypical nos clusters possess distinctive regulatory and functional components (e.g., Sec vs. Tat secretion pathway in typical nos), and that previous nosZ-targeted PCR primers do not capture the atypical nosZ diversity. Collectively, our results suggest that nondenitrifying populations with a broad range of metabolisms and habitats are potentially significant contributors to N2O consumption. Apparently, a large, previously unrecognized group of environmental nosZ has not been accounted for, and characterizing their contributions to N2O consumption will advance understanding of the ecological controls on N2O emissions and lead to refined greenhouse gas flux models.

AB  - The gaseous phytohormone ethylene C2H4 mediates numerous aspects of growth and development. Genetic analysis has identified a number of critical elements in ethylene signaling, but how these elements interact biochemically to transduce the signal from the ethylene receptor complex at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane to transcription factors in the nucleus is unknown. To close this gap in our understanding of the ethylene signaling pathway, the challenge has been to identify the target of the CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) Raf-like protein kinase, as well as the molecular events surrounding ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE2 (EIN2), an ER membrane-localized Nramp homolog that positively regulates ethylene responses. Here we demonstrate that CTR1 interacts with and directly phosphorylates the cytosolic C-terminal domain of EIN2. Mutations that block the EIN2 phosphorylation sites result in consti-tutive nuclear localization of the EIN2 C terminus, concomitant with constitutive activation of ethylene responses in Arabidopsis. Our results suggest that phosphorylation of EIN2 by CTR1 prevents EIN2 from signaling in the absence of ethylene, whereas inhibition of CTR1 upon ethylene perception is a signal for cleavage and nuclear localization of the EIN2 C terminus, allowing the ethylene signal to reach the downstream transcription factors. These findings significantly advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying ethylene signal transduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Variability of above-ground net primary production (ANPP) of arid to sub-humid ecosystems displays a closer association with precipitation when considered across space (based on multiyear averages for different locations) than through time (based on year-to-year change at single locations). Here, we propose a theory of controls of ANPP based on four hypotheses about legacies of wet and dry years that explains space versus time differences in ANPP--precipitation relationships. We tested the hypotheses using 16 long-term series of ANPP. We found that legacies revealed by the association of current- versus previous-year conditions through the temporal series occur across all ecosystem types from deserts to mesic grasslands. Therefore, previous-year precipitation and ANPP control a significant fraction of current-year production. We developed unified models for the controls of ANPP through space and time. The relative importance of current-versus previous-year precipitation changes along a gradient of mean annual precipitation with the importance of current-year PPT decreasing, whereas the importance of previous-year PPT remains constant as mean annual precipitation increases. Finally, our results suggest that ANPP will respond to climate-change-driven alterations in water availability and, more importantly, that the magnitude of the response will increase with time.

AB  - The effects of azole-type P450 inhibitors and two metabolism-resistant abscisic acid (ABA) analogues on in vitro ABA-8'-hydroxylase activity, in planta ABA metabolism, endogenous ABA content, and tuber meristem dormancy duration were examined in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank). When functionally expressed in yeast, three potato CYP707A genes were demonstrated to encode enzymatically active ABA-8'-hydroxylases with micromolar affinities for (+)-ABA. The in vitro activity of the three enzymes was inhibited by the P450 azole-type inhibitors ancymidol, paclobutrazol, diniconazole, and tetcyclasis, and by the 8'-acetylene- and 8'-methylene-ABA analogues, with diniconazole and tetcyclasis being the most potent inhibitors. The in planta metabolism of [3H](±)-ABA to phaseic acid and dihydrophaseic acid in tuber meristems was inhibited by diniconazole, tetcyclasis, and to a lesser extent by 8'-acetylene- and 8'-methylene-ABA. Continuous exposure of in vitro generated microtubers to diniconazole resulted in a 2-fold increase in endogenous ABA content and a decline in dihydrophaseic acid content after 9 weeks of development. Similar treatment with 8'-acetylene-ABA had no effects on the endogenous contents of ABA or phaseic acid but reduced the content of dihydrophaseic acid. Tuber meristem dormancy progression was determined ex vitro in control, diniconazole-, and 8'-acetylene-ABA-treated microtubers following harvest. Continuous exposure to diniconazole during microtuber development had no effects on subsequent sprouting at any time point. Continuous exposure to 8'-acetylene-ABA significantly increased the rate of microtuber sprouting. The results indicate that, although a decrease in ABA content is a hallmark of tuber dormancy progression, the decline in ABA levels is not a prerequisite for dormancy exit and the onset of tuber sprouting.

AB  - Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and membrane lipid peroxidation have been recognized as problems for sperm survival and fertility. The precise roles and detection of superoxide (SO), hydrogen peroxide (HP), and membrane lipid peroxidation have been problematic, because of the low specificity and sensitivity of the established chemiluminescence assay technologies. We developed flow cytometric assays to measure SO, HP, membrane lipid peroxidation, and inner mitochondrial transmembrane potential in boar sperm. These methods were sufficiently sensitive to permit detection of early changes in ROS formation in sperm cells that were still viable. Basal ROS formation and membrane lipid peroxidation in the absence of ROS generators were low in viable sperm of both fresh and frozen-thawed boar semen, affecting less than 4% of the sperm cells on average. However, this is not the case in other species, as human, bovine, and poultry sperm have large increases in sperm ROS formation, lipid peroxidation, loss of motility, and death in vitro. Closer study of the effects of ROS formation on the relationship between sperm motility and ATP content in boar sperm was conducted using menadione (mitochondrial SO generator) and HP treatment. Menadione or HP caused an immediate disruption of motility with delayed or no decrease in sperm ATP content, respectively. Overall, the inhibitory effects of ROS on motility point to a mitochondrial-independent mechanism. The reduction in motility may have been due to a ROS-induced lesion in ATP utilization or in the contractile apparatus of the flagellum. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Interleukin-17F (IL-17F) is a proinflammatory cytokine, which plays an important role in gut homeostasis. A full-length chicken IL-17F (chIL-17F) cDNA with a 510-bp coding region was identified from ConA-activated chicken splenic lymphocytes. ChIL-17F shares 53% amino acid sequence identity with the previously described chicken IL-17 (chIL-17A) and 38–43% with mammalian homologues. The locus harboring chIL-17 and chIL-17F displayed inverted order compared to those of mammals. ChIL-17F transcript expression was high in lymphoblast cell line CU205 and at moderate levels in small and large intestines and liver. ChIL-17F and chIL-17 expression profiles were examined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR in mitogen-stimulated splenic lymphocytes and intestinal areas affected by Eimeria maxima and Eimeria tenella infections. Expression levels of chIL-17F, like chIL-17, were elevated in mitogen-activated splenic lymphocytes. ChIL-17F, but not chIL-17, expression was upregulated in intestinal tissues affected by E. maxima and E. tenella infections. Recombinant chIL-17F biological activities were similar to that of chIL-17 in primary chicken embryonic fibroblasts. These results suggest that chIL-17F is a unique member of the IL-17 family of cytokines. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The objective of this producer survey was to identify and estimate damage caused by bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies. The interactions between birds and livestock have previously been implicated in causing economic damage while contributing to the environmental dissemination of microorganisms pathogenic to livestock and humans. Very little research exists to help producers understand what bird species use dairies, why they use dairies, or the scope and nature of damage created as a result of bird-livestock interactions. To better characterize these interactions, we surveyed dairy operators within Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin. Survey results suggest that the most common and destructive bird species found on commercial dairies are invasive to North America, and their use of dairies is associated with the loss of cattle feed, increased operating costs, and an increase in dairies self-reporting Salmonella spp. and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis. Cattle feed loss estimates generated from this survey were used to parameterize an input-output (IO) economic model using data from 10 counties in the state of Pennsylvania (Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bradford, Chester, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Somerset). This IO model allowed us to estimate direct, indirect, and induced economic effects of feed loss from bird damage to dairies within these counties. The IO model output suggests that feed loss costs Pennsylvania between $4.11 and $12.08 million (mean $10.6 million) in total economic damage, with approximately 43 to 128 jobs (mean 112) forgone statewide in 2009.

AB  - The frustrations of forage producers attempting to conserve high-quality alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) silage during periods of unstable or inclement weather are widely known. Our objectives for this series of studies were to (1) assess indicators of ensilability, such as pH, buffering capacity, water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), and starch for wilting alfalfa forages receiving no rainfall or damaged by simulated or natural rainfall events; (2) use these data as inputs to calculate the threshold moisture concentration that would prohibit a clostridially dominated fermentation; and (3) further evaluate the effects of rain damage or no rain damage on measures of forage nutritive value. Rainfall events were applied to wilting forages by both simulated and natural methods over multiple studies distributed across 4 independent forage harvests. Generally, simulated rainfall was applied to alfalfa under controlled conditions in which forages were relatively wet at the time of application, and subsequently were dried to final moisture endpoints under near ideal conditions within a constant temperature/humidity environmental chamber, thereby limiting postwetting wilting time to =21 h. As a result, indicators of ensilability, as well as measures of nutritive value, changed only marginally as a result of treatment. Consistently, reductions in concentrations of WSC and starch occurred, but changes in WSC were relatively modest, and postwetting concentrations of WSC may have been buoyed by hydrolysis of starch. When forages were subjected to natural rainfall events followed by prolonged exposure under field conditions, indicators of ensilability were much less desirable. In one study in which alfalfa received 49.3 mm of natural rainfall over a prolonged (8-d) field-exposure period, fresh pH increased from 6.48 to 7.43 within all forages exposed to these extended, moist wilting conditions. Furthermore, sharp reductions were observed in buffering capacity (410 vs. 337 mEq/kg of DM), WSC (6.13 vs. 2.90%), starch (2.28 vs. 0.45%), and clostridially dominated fermentation (62.7 vs. 59.4%). Based on these experiments, the potential for good fermentation is affected only minimally by single rainfall events applied to relatively wet forages, provided these events are followed by rapid dehydration; however, attaining acceptable silage fermentations with forages subjected to prolonged exposure under poor drying conditions is likely to be far more problematic.

AB  - Abstract: Oxalic acid is a key component in the initiation of brown-rot decay and it has been suggested that it plays multiple roles during the degradation process. Oxalic acid is accumulated to varying degrees among brown-rot fungi; however, details on active regulation are scarce. The accumulation of oxalic acid was measured in this study from wood degraded by the four brown-rot fungi –Gloeophyllum trabeum, Meruliporia incrassata, Coniophora puteana, and Serpula lacrymans – and found to vary significantly. The amount of oxalic acid present was shown to correlate with the mass loss during wood degradation. However, it did not appear to be a direct or causal relationship as G. trabeum produced significantly lower levels of oxalic acid than the other three fungi but generated comparable weight loss. Oxalic acid decarboxylating activity was detected from wood extractions of all four fungi with extractions from G. trabeum-inoculated wood showing the highest activity. Formic acid was measured in extractions from decayed wood by the four brown-rot fungi, supporting the presence of the fungal produced oxalic-acid-degrading enzyme oxalate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.2). Thus this study indicates that the brown-rot species tested, and in particular G. trabeum, are capable of regulating oxalic acid during wood decay by decarboxylation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This study shows the effect of deviation from stoichiometric composition on the anisotropy and magnetostriction of cobalt ferrite Cox\rm Fe3-{\rm x}{\rm O}4. Deviation from stoichiometric composition caused the magnetocrystalline anisotropy to become higher for x=0.7 and 0.8, but lower for x=0.2. The amplitude, slope and shape of the magnetostriction curves and strain derivatives of the samples were also strongly affected. The present work indicates how variation from stoichiometric composition can be used to tailor magnetic and magnetostrictive properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract–Gd5{(Six{\rm Ge}1-{\rm x})}4 exhibits a first order phase transition for the compositions 0<x<0.575 leading to a magnetic phase transition as well. It is not possible to measure the second order phase (magnetic) transition temperatures of the individual phases with direct measurements. This is because the first order phase transition occurs before the second order phase transition. With modified Arrott plots we have shown previously that it is possible to estimate the second order phase transition of the Gd5Si4-type orthorhombic phase. In this paper we have estimated the second order phase transition temperature of the Gd5Si2Ge2-type monoclinic phase using a single crystal sample of Gd5Si1.5Ge2.5 (0.375) which falls in the mixed phase region of the sample.

AB  - Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the degradation conditions of AFB1 by Rhodococcus erythropolis in liquid culture. The most important factors that influence the degradation, as identified by a two-level Plackett-Burman design with six variables, were temperature, pH, liquid volume, inoculum size, agitation speed and incubation time. Central composite design (CCD) and response surface analysis were used to further investigate the interactions between these variables and to optimize the degradation efficiency of R. erythropolis based on a second-order model. The results demonstrated that the optimal parameters were: temperature, 23.2 °C; pH, 7.17; liquid volume, 24.6 mL in 100-mL flask; inoculum size, 10%; agitation speed, 180 rpm; and incubation time, 81.9 h. Under these conditions, the degradation efficiency of R. erythropolis could reach 95.8% in liquid culture, which was increased by about three times as compared to non-optimized conditions. The result by mathematic modeling has great potential for aflatoxin removal in industrial fermentation such as in food processing and ethanol production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thermal infrared (TIR) imagery is normally acquired at coarser pixel resolution than that of shortwave sensors on the same satellite platform and often the TIR resolution is not suitable for monitoring crop conditions of individual fields or the impacts of land cover changes that are at significantly finer spatial scales. Consequently, thermal sharpening techniques have been developed to sharpen TIR imagery to shortwave band pixel resolutions, which are often fine enough for field-scale applications. A classic thermal sharpening technique, TsHARP, uses a relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) developed empirically at the TIR pixel resolution and applied at the NDVI pixel resolution. However, recent studies show that unique relationships between temperature and NDVI may only exist for a limited class of landscapes, with mostly green vegetation and homogeneous air and soil conditions. To extend application of thermal sharpening to more complex conditions, a new data mining sharpener (DMS) technique is developed. The DMS approach builds regression trees between TIR band brightness temperatures and shortwave spectral reflectances based on intrinsic sample characteristics. A comparison of sharpening techniques applied over a rainfed agricultural area in central Iowa, an irrigated agricultural region in the Texas High Plains, and a heterogeneous naturally vegetated landscape in Alaska indicates that the DMS outperformed TsHARP in all cases. The artificial box-like patterns in LST generated by the TsHARP approach are greatly reduced using the DMS scheme, especially for areas containing irrigated crops, water bodies, thin clouds or terrain. While the DMS technique can provide fine resolution TIR imagery, there are limits to the sharpening ratios that can be reasonably implemented. Consequently, sharpening techniques cannot replace actual thermal band imagery at fine resolutions or missions that provide high quality thermal band imagery at high temporal and spatial resolution critical for many agricultural, land use and water resource management applications.

AB  - Please cite this paper as: Squires et al. (2012) Influenza research database: an integrated bioinformatics resource for influenza research and surveillance. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 6(6), 404-416. Background  The recent emergence of the 2009 pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus has highlighted the value of free and open access to influenza virus genome sequence data integrated with information about other important virus characteristics. Design  The Influenza Research Database (IRD, http://www.fludb.org) is a free, open, publicly-accessible resource funded by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases through the Bioinformatics Resource Centers program. IRD provides a comprehensive, integrated database and analysis resource for influenza sequence, surveillance, and research data, including user-friendly interfaces for data retrieval, visualization and comparative genomics analysis, together with personal log in-protected 'workbench' spaces for saving data sets and analysis results. IRD integrates genomic, proteomic, immune epitope, and surveillance data from a variety of sources, including public databases, computational algorithms, external research groups, and the scientific literature. Results  To demonstrate the utility of the data and analysis tools available in IRD, two scientific use cases are presented. A comparison of hemagglutinin sequence conservation and epitope coverage information revealed highly conserved protein regions that can be recognized by the human adaptive immune system as possible targets for inducing cross-protective immunity. Phylogenetic and geospatial analysis of sequences from wild bird surveillance samples revealed a possible evolutionary connection between influenza virus from Delaware Bay shorebirds and Alberta ducks. Conclusions  The IRD provides a wealth of integrated data and information about influenza virus to support research of the genetic determinants dictating virus pathogenicity, host range restriction and transmission, and to facilitate development of vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

AB  - Abstract: Heat and drought stresses are often coincident and constitute major factors limiting global crop yields. A better understanding of plant responses to the combination of these stresses under production environments will facilitate efforts to improve yield and water use efficiencies in a climatically changing world. To evaluate photosynthetic performance under dry-hot conditions, four cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) cultivars, Monseratt Sea Island (MS), Pima 32 (P32), Pima S-6 (S6) and Pima S-7 (S7), were studied under well-watered (WW) and water-limited (WL) conditions at a field site in central Arizona. Differences in canopy temperature and leaf relative water content under WL conditions indicated that, of the four cultivars, MS was the most drought-sensitive and S6 the most drought-tolerant. Net CO2 assimilation rates (A) and stomatal conductances (gs) decreased and leaf temperatures increased in WL compared to WW plants of all cultivars, but MS exhibited the greatest changes. The response of A to the intercellular CO2 concentration (A–C i) showed that, along with stomatal closure, non-stomatal factors associated with heat stress also limited A under WL conditions, especially in MS. The activation state of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) decreased in WL compared to WW plants, consistent with thermal inhibition of Rubisco activase activity. The extent of Rubisco deactivation could account for the metabolic limitation to photosynthesis in MS. Taken together, these data reveal the complex relationship between water availability and heat stress for field-grown cotton plants in a semi-arid environment. Both diffusive (drought-stress-induced) and biochemical (heat-stress-induced) limitations contributed to decreased photosynthetic performance under dry-hot conditions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Three different cultivars of drought, salt and boron (B) tolerant Opuntia ficus indica (Cactus pear) were grown in poor-quality agricultural drainage sediment high in salt, B and selenium (Se) that originated from the Westside San Joaquin Valley. Nutritional contents were then measured in these Cactus pear fruit (purple, red, or orange-coloured), and vegetative cladodes (modified stem-like leaves) compared to the same cultivars grown adjacent on a low saline sandy loam soil. After harvesting fruit and cladodes, the mineral nutrients, chemical speciation of Se, total phenolics, vitamin C and antioxidant status were analyzed. The results demonstrated positive nutritional changes in both cladodes and fruit within the Cactus pear cultivars when grown on agricultural drainage sediment compared to those grown on normal soil. Under these conditions Cactus pear plants contained nutraceutical qualities and represent a useful anticarcinogenic Se-enriched chemotherapeutic food crop for providing advanced dietary seleno-pharmacology in order to help fight human diseases.

AB  - The heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of a textile dye, over TiO2 nanotubes (T_NT) containing nanocrystals of cadmium sulfide (CdS) and an interfacial layer of TiO2 nanoparticles (T_NP) is presented. T_NT is prepared by anodization of Ti mesh. A TiCl4 treatment is implemented to deposit T_NP on T_NT when applicable. CdS nanocrystals are prepared using a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction approach. Methyl orange (MO) and phenol conversion on the different photocatalysts follows the trend: T_NT/T_NP/CdS>T_NT/CdS>T_NT with the actual values of fractional conversion of MO being 0.94, 0.64, and 0.04 respectively. The role of Na2S in MO photodegradation and CdS stabilization is examined in detail. The addition of a limited amount of Na2S (up to a concentration of 0.02M) with MO has multiple benefits including (i) improvement in electron separation and transport, (ii) stabilization of the CdS, and (iii) enhancement of the photocatalytic degradation of MO by 35%.

AB  - Agaricus bisporus is the model fungus for the adaptation, persistence, and growth in the humicrich leaf-litter environment. Aside from its ecological role, A. bisporus has been an important component of the human diet for over 200 y and worldwide cultivation of the "button mushroom" forms a multibillion dollar industry. We present two A. bisporus genomes, their gene repertoires and transcript profiles on compost and during mushroom formation. The genomes encode a full repertoire of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes similar to that of wood-decayers. Comparative transcriptomics of mycelium grown on defined medium, casingsoil, and compost revealed genes encoding enzymes involved in xylan, cellulose, pectin, and protein degradation are more highly expressed in compost. The striking expansion of heme-thiolate peroxidases and ß-etherases is distinctive from Agaricomycotina wood-decayers and suggests a broad attack on decaying lignin and related metabolites found in humic acid-rich environment. Similarly, up-regulation of these genes together with a lignolytic manganese peroxidase, multiple copper radical oxidases, and cytochrome P450s is consistent with challenges posed by complex humic-rich substrates. The gene repertoire and expression of hydrolytic enzymes in A. bisporus is substantially different from the taxonomically related ectomycorrhizal symbiont Laccaria bicolor. A common promoter motif was also identified in genes very highly expressed in humic-rich substrates. These observations reveal genetic and enzymatic mechanisms governing adaptation to the humic-rich ecological niche formed during plant degradation, further defining the critical role such fungi contribute to soil structure and carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems. Genome sequence will expedite mushroom breeding for improved agronomic characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background Folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 act in concert in the one-carbon metabolism and may protect against colorectal neoplasia. We examined the effect of combined B-vitamin treatment on the occurrence of colorectal adenoma. Methods The Women's Antioxidant and Folic Acid Cardiovascular Study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-con- trolled trial of 5442 female health professionals at high risk for cardiovascular disease from April 1998 through July 2005. Participants were randomly assigned to receive a combination pill of folic acid (2.5mg), vitamin B6 (50mg), and vitamin B12 (1 mg) or placebo. This study included 1470 participants who were followed up for as long as 9.2 years and underwent an endoscopy at any point during follow-up. We estimated relative risks using a generalized linear model with a natural logarithm link function and Poisson distributed errors. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results The risk of colorectal adenoma was similar among participants receiving treatment (24.3%, 180 of 741 participants) vs placebo (24.0%, 175 of 729 participants) (multivariable adjusted relative risk = 1.00, 95% confidence interval = 0.83 to 1.20). Treatment was not associated with the risk of adenoma when data were analyzed by subsite, size, stage, and the number of adenomas. There was no statistically significant effect modification by alcohol intake, history of cancer or adenoma, or baseline plasma levels or intakes of folate, vitamin B6, or vitamin B12. Conclusion Our results indicate no statistically significant effect of combined folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 treatment on colorectal adenoma among women at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

AB  - Abstract: In this study, optimization, extension, and validation of a streamlined, qualitative and quantitative multiclass, multiresidue method was conducted to monitor >100 veterinary drug residues in meat using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). Optimization centered on extensive ruggedness evaluation of the method. Various clean-up sorbents were tested and the amount of co-extractives were weighed, matrix effects were measured using post-column infusion of representative analytes, the effect of extract dilution before injecting was studied, and analyte recoveries and reproducibilities were determined. In order to extend our previous method, more drug analytes were added that possessed a wider range of chemical properties, and a re-appraisal of different types of C18 in dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up and mobile phases in UHPLC–MS/MS was done. Ultimately, end-capped C18 and post-column infusion of ammonium formate as an ionization enhancer for the late-eluting anthelmintics were found to give improved qualitative results for greater analytical scope. A multi-day, multi-analyst validation demonstrated that the final method is suitable for screening of 113 analytes, identifying 98 and quantifying (recoveries between 70–120% and RSD<25%) 87 out of the 127 tested drugs at or below US regulatory tolerance levels in bovine muscle.

AB  - A shift towards overall larger very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and smaller low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) diameters occurs in insulin resistance (IR), which reflects shifts in the distribution of the subfraction concentrations. Fenofibrate, indicated for hypertriglyceridemia, simultaneously reduces IR and shifts in lipoprotein diameter. Individual responses to fenofibrate vary, and we conducted a genome-wide association study to identify genetic differences that could contribute to such differences.Association analysis was conducted between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the Affymetrix 6.0 array and fasting particle diameter responses to a 12-week fenofibrate trial, in 817 related Caucasian participants of the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network. Linear models were conducted, which adjusted for age, sex and study center as fixed effects, and pedigree as a random effect. The top three SNPs associated with each fraction were examined subsequently for associations with changes in subfraction concentrations.SNPs in AHCYL2 and CD36 genes reached, or closely approached, genome-wide levels of significance with VLDL and HDL diameter responses to fenofibrate, respectively (P=4×10-9 and 8×10-8). SNPs in AHCYL2 were associated with a decrease in the concentration of the large VLDL subfraction only (P=0.002). SNPs associated with HDL diameter change were not associated with a single subfraction concentration change (P>0.05) indicating small shifts across all subfractions.We report novel associations between lipoprotein diameter responses to fenofibrate and the AHCYL2 and CD36 genes. Previous associations of these genes with IR emphasize the role of IR in mediating lipoprotein response to fenofibrate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Perilipin proteins were discovered in the adipocyte, where they regulate lipid storage and lipolysis. Animal knockout models provided initial evidence of the critical role of perilipin 1, the most abundant of the adipocyte proteins, in energy and glucose metabolism. During a decade of study, genetic variation in perilipin 1 has been consistently but not invariably associated with body weight and obesity-related complications. Related phenotypes such as postprandial lipid metabolism and aerobic fitness are also modulated by perilipin 1 genotype, consistent with earlier metabolic studies. Investigations of gene-diet interactions, together with gene expression studies, have yielded increased understanding, but important questions about causal variants and mechanisms remain. The newest work examines perilipin 4, an adipocyte regulator of triglyceride synthesis and packaging. The novel discovery that a perilipin 4 variant creates a binding site for regulation of the perilipin gene ( PLIN) by microRNA suggests intriguing new possibilities for additional mechanistic investigations of other perilipin proteins.

AB  - Abstract: Two essential oils (EOs), thymol and carvacrol, with similar chemical structures were encapsulated in the nanoparticles of zein using the liquid–liquid dispersion method. Three different pH treatments were applied to study the nanoparticles'' morphology, structure, antioxidant property, and antimicrobial activity. The nanoparticles for all treatments were well dispersed in water. After lyophilizing, samples from the acidic condition tended to form film, but the samples from the neutral and basic conditions formed nanoparticles. The antioxidant properties were analyzed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPHric ion spectrophotometric assay. DPPHced in the range of 24.8–66.8% depending on the formulation and more than 65% hydroxyl free radicals were quenched by samples. An Escherichia coli reduction of 0.8–1.8 log CFU/ml was achieved in the presence of nanoparticles encapsulating EOs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: It is known that the two popular medium rice varieties, namely M202 and M206, in California have different fissuring resistances. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to investigate the sorption behavior of these two varieties by a new approach using dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) method for elucidating the differences in fissuring resistance. The moisture sorption isotherms of rough, brown and white rice and husk were determined at 25 °C over a water activity range of 0–0.98. Although it was found that the sorption isotherms of different forms of M202 and M206 were similar, M202 absorbed and desorbed moisture faster than M206 which might make it more susceptible to fissuring. All obtained moisture sorption isotherms exhibited the sigmoid (Type II) shape and hysteresis was observed for all forms of rice. Absorption curves obtained using DVS method were compared with the traditional saturated salt solution (SSS) method. For all forms of rice, the maximum difference for equilibrium moisture content value between two methods was observed at 0 and 98% relative humidities, which was approximately 8–11% and 7–9%. Although at a single relative humidity point equilibrium with DVS was attained much faster than SSS method, obtaining a full isotherm with more than 10 data points might make SSS method more feasible for low diffusion materials. Among the select equations to describe sorption behavior of different forms of rice, Peleg equation gave the best fit for all forms of rice. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Biporous media consisting of microscale pin fins separated by microchannels are exam-ined as candidate structures for the evaporator wick of a vapor chamber heat pipe. The structures are fabricated out of silicon using standard lithography and etching techni-ques. Pores which separate microscale pin fins are used to generate high capillary suction, while larger microchannels are used to reduce overall flow resistance. The heat transfer coefficient is found to depend on the area coverage of a liquid film with thickness on the order of a few microns near the meniscus of the triple phase contact line. We manipulate the area coverage and film thickness by varying the suiface area-to-volume ratio through the use of microstructuring. Experiments are conducted for a heater area of 1 cm2 with the wick in a vertical orientation. Results are presented for structures with approximately same porosities, fixed microchannel widths w ≈ 30 nm and w ≈ 60 pm, and pin fin diameters ranging from d = 3-29 pm. The competing effects of increase in surface area due to microstructuring and the suppression of evaporation due to reduction in pore scale are explored. In some samples, a transition from evaporative heat transfer to nucleate boiling is observed. While it is difficult to identify when the transition occurs, one can identify regimes where evaporation dominates over nucleate boiling and vice versa. Heat transfer coefficients of 20.7 (±2.4) W/cm2-K are attained at heat fluxes of 119.6 (±4.2) Wlcm2 until the wick dries out in the evaporation dominated regime. In the nucleate boiling dominated regime, heat fluxes of 277.0 (±9.7) Wlcm2 can be dissipated by wicks with heaters of area 1 cm2, while heat fluxes up to 733.1 (±103.4) Wlcm2 can be dissipated by wicks with smaller heaters intended to simulate local hot-spots.

AB  - Previous research has shown that eastern gamagrass (EGG; Tripsacum dactyloides L.) will survive winter climatic conditions common throughout central Wisconsin, and will produce yields of dry matter (DM) ranging approximately from 7,000 to 10,000 kg/ha annually when managed with a 1-cut harvest system. The objective of this research was to determine whether the fibrous nature of this perennial warm-season grass could be effective in reducing the caloric density and DMI of corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets for replacement dairy heifers. A total of 120 Holstein dairy heifers were blocked by body weight (heavy, 424 ± 15.9 kg; medium, 369 ± 11.8 kg; light, 324 ± 22.4 kg), and then assigned to 15 individual pens containing 8 heifers each. Eastern gamagrass forage was harvested, ensiled, and subsequently incorporated into blended corn silage/ alfalfa haylage diets at rates of 0, 9.1, 18.3, or 27.4% of the total dietary DM (EGG0, EGG9, EGG18, and EGG27, respectively). These diets were offered during a 105-d evaluation period for ad libitum intake; however, the EGG0 diet also was offered on a limit-fed basis (LF), which was set at 85% of the voluntary intake of EGG0. Serial additions of EGG increased concentrations of neutral detergent fiber in blended diets from 39.6 (EGG0) to 48.7% (EGG27), and simultaneously reduced corresponding estimates of total digestible nutrients (TDN) from 68.2 to 61.3%, and net energy for gain from 1.07 to 0.83 Mcal/kg. Dry matter intakes for all diets offered ad libitum were greater than observed for LF (9.06 vs. 8.07 kg/d); however, DM intakes for diets containing EGG were reduced relative to EGG0 (9.40 vs. 8.94 kg/d). Similarly, intakes of TDN were greater for diets offered for ad libitum intake than for LF (5.84 vs. 5.50 kg/d); however, inclusion of EGG reduced TDN intakes relative to EGG0 (6.41 vs. 5.65 kg/d). This reduction was explained by both linear and quadratic effects of the inclusion rate of EGG in the diet. Over the 105-d trial, total weight gains ranged from 89 kg (0.85 kg/d) for heifers offered EGG27 up to 114 kg (1.09 kg/d) for those offered EGG0. Performance was similar between heifers offered EGG27 and LF diets (0.85 vs. 0.88 kg/d). Eastern gamagrass haylage proved to be a completely nonsortable additive within corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets. It also was effective in limiting the caloric density and DM intake of these diets, as well as undesirable weight gains by dairy heifers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Watermelon vine decline (WVD) is an emerging threat to watermelon production in southwest and west-central Florida. Losses in 2004-2005 due to WVD were estimated to be more than 60 million US dollars. The disease is caused bySquash vein yellowing virus(SqVYV, family: Potyviridae, genus:Ipomovirus) and is transmitted by whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci). SqVYV is a close relative of, but distinct from, another cucurbit-infecting ipomovirus,Cucumber vein yellowing virus(CVYV), that has been reported from most countries in the Mediterranean Basin since it was first described in Israel in the 1960s. Symptoms of WVD typically include a sudden decline and death of vines at or just prior to harvest. Fruit symptoms include internal flesh degradation and necrosis of the fruit rind. So far, only cucurbits have been confirmed as hosts for SqVYV, and striking symptoms of vine decline in agricultural production have been observed only on watermelon. Balsam-apple (Momordica charantia), a cucurbit weed that is widely distributed in Florida, was found to be a common reservoir host for SqVYV. Management of whitefly populations using insecticides was shown to reduce WVD development and incidence of fruit symptoms. Sources of resistance to SqVYV have been identified, and resistant germplasm resources are being developed. Present recommendations for managing WVD include management of whitefly populations, removal of SqVYV reservoir hosts, and crop destruction soon after harvest. This manuscript will review the progress and challenges in dealing with WVD since it first appeared in Florida in 2003, and compare and contrast it with CVYV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: There are few peer-reviewed or major published studies that estimate the total amount of food loss in developed countries and even fewer attempt to estimate the monetary value. We compiled estimates of the amount and value of food loss for more than 200 individual foods in the United States using the US Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service’s Loss-Adjusted Food Availability data and then aggregated these values to estimate the total value of food loss and the value by food group. The results indicate that in 2008, the estimated total value of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States as purchased at retail prices was $165.6billion. The top three food groups in terms of the value of food loss at these levels are: meat, poultry, and fish (41%); vegetables (17%); and dairy products (14%). Looking more closely at the estimates for the consumer level, this level of loss translates into almost 124kg (273lb) of food lost from human consumption, per capita, in 2008 at an estimated retail price of $390/capita/year. Food loss represents a significant share of household food expenditures: our estimates suggest that the annual value of food loss is almost 10% of the average amount spent on food per consumer in 2008 and over 1% of the average disposable income. This consumer level loss translates into over .3kg (0.7lb) of food per capita per day valued at $1.07/day. Our estimates of the total value of food loss in the United States and loss estimates by food group are useful in that they can generate awareness of the issue among the food industry members, governments, and consumers. Potential large-scale approaches and economic incentives to mitigate food loss in developed countries are also discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The influence of adsorbed S on surface segregation in Cu x Pd1− x  alloys (S/Cu x Pd1− x ) was characterized over a wide range of bulk alloy compositions (x =0.05 to 0.95) using high-throughput Composition Spread Alloy Film (CSAF) sample libraries. Top-surface and near-surface compositions of the CSAFs were measured as functions of bulk Cu composition, x, and temperature using spatially resolved low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEISS) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Preferential segregation of Cu to the top-surface of the S/Cu x Pd1− x  CSAF was observed at all bulk compositions, x, but the extent of Cu segregation to the S/Cu x Pd1− x  surface was lower than the Cu segregation to the surface of a clean Cu x Pd1− x  CSAF, clear evidence of an S-induced “segregation reversal.” The Langmuir–McLean formulation of the Gibbs isotherm was used to estimate the enthalpy and entropy of Cu segregation to the top-surface, ΔH  seg (x) and ΔS  seg (x), at saturation sulfur coverages. While Cu segregation to the top-surface of the clean Cu x Pd1− x  is exothermic (ΔH  seg  <0) for all bulk Cu compositions, it is endothermic (ΔH  seg  >0) for S/Cu x Pd1− x . Segregation to the S/Cu x Pd1− x  surface is driven by entropy. Changes in segregation patterns that occur upon adsorption of S onto Cu x Pd1− x  appear to be related to formation of energetically favored Pdt the surface, which counterbalance the enthalpic driving forces for Cu segregation to the clean surface.

AB  - Glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1/2) are cosecreted from endocrine L cells in the gut and preproglucagonergic neurons in the brain. Peripheral GLP-2 action is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, improving absorption efficiency and blood flow, promoting immune defense, and producing efficacy in treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. However, it is unknown if CNS GLP-2 plays a physiological role in the control of energy homeostasis. Since GLP-1/2 are cotranslated from preproglucagongene and coproduced by prohormone convertase- 1, it is challenging to knockout GLP-2 only. Instead, our laboratory has generated a Glp2r-floxed mouse line to dissect cellspecific GLP-2 receptor GLP-2R) action in the regulation of energy balance. Our objective was to determine if GLP-2R in the hypothalamus modulates feeding behavior and gastric emptying. We show that Glp2r mRNA and protein are highly expressed in the arcuate nucleus and dorsomedial nucleus of the mouse hypothalamus. Using the Cre-LoxP system, we generated mice that lack Glp2r expression in POMC neurons (KO; mainly in the hypothalamus). The KO mice showed hyperphagic behavior (such as increases in food intake and meal frequency), accelerated gastric emptying (assessed by [13C]octanoic acid breath test), and late-onset obesity, yet there was no decrease in basal metabolic rate. Infusion of GLP-2 (2.5 nmol into the 4th ventricle) suppressed food intake and gastric emptying, while GLP-2-mediated effects were abolished in the melanocortin receptor-4 (MC4R) KO mice. We conclude that Glp2r deletion in POMC neurons enhances feeding behavior and gastric motility, whereas icv GLP-2R activation suppresses food intake and gastric emptying through the MC4R signaling pathway. This study indicates that CNS GLP-2R plays a physiological role in the control of feeding behavior and gastric emptying and that this is mediated probably through the melanocortin system.

AB  - The FPV140 gene encodes an envelope protein of fowlpox virus (FPV). In this study, the FPV140 gene of FPV Chinese isolate HH2008 was cloned and the comparison of its sequence with other FPV isolates showed it to be highly conserved across all FPV isolates. A recombinant plasmid pET-FPV140 carrying FPV140 gene was constructed and trans-formed into Escherichia coli. The optimal expression condition for the FPV140 gene was developed and puri-fied FPV140 recombinant protein was used to produce rabbit polyclonal antibody. An indirect ELISA using this anti-FPV140 polyclonal antibody was capable of distinguishing avian FPV isolates from other common avian pathogens such as mycoplasma gallisepticum, in-fectious laryngotracheitis virus, avian influenza virus, infectious bursal disease virus, and avian infectious bronchitis virus. This ELISA will serve as a useful diag-nostic tool for the detection of FPV in clinical samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Biological invasions represent a major threat to the function and composition of ecosystems. Although the degree of invasion success of a non-native species and the consequent damage it causes can vary among and within invading species, the absence or presence of natural enemies associated with the invader can also play roles in the invasion dynamics. We used newly established, spatially isolated populations of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), on some of the islands within the archipelago of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in northwestern Wisconsin, USA, to study the establishment and initial spread of two releases of the entomophthoralean fungus Entomophaga maimaiga. We also explored patterns in rates of infection by the L. dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus, which was also released on three islands, and in the rates of parasitism by generalist parasitoids. The mean initial rate of spread by E. maimaiga following its successful establishment was 0.8kmyear−1, although it was detected as far as 6.1km from a release site after one year. Infection rates by both entomopathogens were highest on those islands where they were released; however, rates of parasitism by larval parasitoids were highest where neither pathogen had been released, suggesting that pathogens outcompete larval parasitoids. Understanding the intricate relationship between an invading host species and their associated pathogens during the early stages of invasion could enhance the use of biological control in invasive species management.

T1  - Hyperthyroid-associated osteoporosis is exacerbated by the loss of TSH signaling.

AB  - The osteoporosis associated with human hyperthyroidism has traditionally been attributed to elevated thyroid hormone levels. There is evidence, however, that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is low in most hyperthyroid states, directly affects the skeleton. Importantly, Tshr-knockout mice are osteopenic. In order to determine whether low TSH levels contribute to bone loss in hyperthyroidism, we compared the skeletal phenotypes of wild-type and Tshr-knockout mice that were rendered hyperthyroid. We found that hyperthyroid mice lacking TSHR had greater bone loss and resorption than hyperthyroid wild-type mice, thereby demonstrating that the absence of TSH signaling contributes to bone loss. Further, we identified a TSH-like factor that may confer osteoprotection. These studies suggest that therapeutic suppression of TSH to very low levels may contribute to bone loss in people.

AB  - Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Serviceberry or Saskatoon berry [Amelanchier alnifolia (Nutt.) Nutt. ex. M. Roem (Rosaceae)], native to the North Glacier forests of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, has been used by the Blackfeet Indian tribe in alleviation of diabetes. Anecdotally, tea made from twigs and leaves have been used for optimum health and diabetes management. However, such traditional knowledge of the medicinal properties of Amelanchier alnifolia has not been validated by scientific studies. The goal of this study was to identify potential antidiabetic mechanisms of serviceberry. Materials and Methods: Serviceberry plant samples consisting of leaves, twigs, and leaves with berries were extracted and fractionated. Ethyl acetate and water fractions were tested for inhibition of α-glucosidase activity in vitro. Diet-induced obese, hyperglycemic C57Bl6 mice were administered serviceberry leaf extract prior to sucrose-, starch-, or glucose-loading to test for α-glucosidase inhibition and decreased post-prandial glycemic response. Results: In the course of screening for potential antidiabetic mechanisms, serviceberry leaf extracts and subfractions demonstrated potent inhibitory activity against mammalian intestinal α-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.20). Further, in an animal model of diet-induced obesity and hyperglycemia, serviceberry leaf subfraction demonstrated significant inhibition of intestinal α-glucosidase activity, and delayed the absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in significant lowering of post-prandial blood glucose concentrations, similar to the antidiabetic drug Acarbose™. Conclusions: These findings indicating that serviceberry leaf extract may lower post-prandial glycemic response corroborate traditional knowledge of the Blackfeet Indians of Montana, and potentially offer a complementary approach in the treatment of diabetes.

AB  - Abstract: The effect of deficit irrigation and a kaolin-based, foliar reflectant particle film (PF) on grape composition and volatile compounds in Merlot grapes was investigated over two growing seasons in semi-arid, south-western Idaho. Vines were provided with differential amounts of water based on their estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc) throughout berry development, and particle film was applied to half of the vines in each irrigation main plot. Free and bound volatile compounds in grapes were analyzed using stir bar sorptive extraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SBSE–GC–MS). The concentrations of free C6 compounds (hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, and 1-hexanol) decreased, and bound terpene alcohols (nerol and geraniol) and C13-norisoprenoids (β-damascenone, 3-hydroxy-β-damascenone, 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene, and 3-oxo-α-ionol) increased in berries each year in response to severity of vine water stress. Concentrations of C13-norisoprenoids and bound forms of nerol and geraniol were positively correlated with their concentrations in the corresponding wines. Particle film application had minimum effect on free and bound volatile composition in the grapes, and there was no interactive effect between particle film and deficit irrigation. However, particle film application enhanced the total amount of berry anthocyanins. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Methods were developed to determine the structural entropy contribution to the total isothermal entropy change of materials which undergo a magnetostructural first-order phase transition. The structural entropies range from 4.5 to 45Jkg−1 K−1 and are proportional to the volume differences of the phases involved in the transition. This correlation allows one to predict new giant magnetocaloric effect materials from crystallographic data. There is a critical magnetic field which must be exceeded to drive the structural transition to completion. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z) are carotenoids that are selectively taken up into the macula of the eye where they may protect against age-related macular degeneration. Meso-zeaxanthin (MZ) is also found in the macula, but is derived from L. It has been reported that MZ was found in certain fish and seafood. However, concentrations were not quantitated. MZ is used as an ingredient in poultry feed in Mexico but not in the United States (US). The purpose of this work was to quantify MZ in fish, seafood, and egg in efforts to determine dietary contributions to its presence in the macula. Fish, seafood and eggs from California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Mexico were analyzed for L, Z, and MZ using reverse- and chiral normal-phase HPLC. For all fish and seafoods, L, Z, and MZ were not detected. In eggs from the US, L+Z levels ranged from 1.0 to 1.6mg/100g yolk with L levels being 1.3–1.6 times higher than that of Z. One egg (California) contained a small amount of MZ (0.01mg/100g yolk). Carotenoid concentrations were significantly higher in Mexican eggs (p <0.025, 3.44mg/100g yolk) with the ratio of L:Z:MZ being 1:1:1.3. In the US the presence of MZ in the macula is not likely due to dietary sources, although this a possibility when consuming eggs of chickens fed MZ. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A well-established population of Burmese pythons resides in the Everglades of southern Florida. Prompted in part by a report that identified much of southern USA as suitable habitat for expansion or establishment of the Burmese python, we examined the plausibility of this snake to survive winters at sites north of the Everglades. We integrated daily low and high temperatures recorded from October to February from 2005-2011 at Homestead, Orlando and Gainesville, Florida; and Aiken, South Carolina, with minimum temperatures projected for python digestion (16 °C), activity (5 °C) and survival (0 °C). Mean low and high temperatures decreased northward from Homestead to Aiken and the number of days of freezing temperatures increased northward. Digestion was impaired or inhibited for 2 months in the Everglades and up to at least 5 months in Aiken, and activity was increasingly limited northward during these months. Reports of overwinter survivorship document that a single bout of low and freezing temperatures results in python death. The capacity for Burmese pythons to successfully overwinter in more temperate regions of the USA is seemingly prohibited because they lack the behaviors to seek refuge from, and the physiology to tolerate, cold temperatures. As tropical Southeast Asia is the source of the Everglades Burmese pythons, we predict it is unlikely that they will be able to successfully expand to or colonize more temperate areas of Florida and adjoining states due to their lack of behavioral and physiological traits to seek refuge from cold temperatures.

AB  - Abstract: Amorphous silicon has been successfully electrodeposited on copper using a SiCl4 based organic electrolyte under galvanostatic conditions. The electrodeposited silicon films were characterized for their composition, morphology and structural characteristics using glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. GAXRD and Raman analyses clearly confirm the amorphous state of the deposited silicon film. The deposited films were tested for possible application as anodes for Li-ion battery. The results indicate that this binder free amorphous silicon anode exhibits a reversible capacity of ∼1300mAhg−1 with a columbic efficiency of >99.5% up to 100 cycles. Impedance measurements at the end of each charge cycle show a non-variable charge transfer resistance which contributes to the excellent cyclability over 100 cycles observed for the films. This approach of developing thin amorphous silicon films directly on copper eliminates the use of binders and conducting additives, rendering the process simple, facile and easily amenable for large scale manufacturing.

AB  - Abstract: Glycerine (a biodiesel co-product) and levulinic acid (a pulp and paper co-product) were used as co-substrates for the fermentative synthesis of short-chain polyhydroxyalkanoate (sc-PHA) biopolymers with tunable monomer and molecular weight characteristics. Pseudomonas oleovorans NRRL B-14682 utilized glycerine alone to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). When levulinic acid was added to the media at shake-flask scale in concentrations ⩽0.6wt.%, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB/V) copolymers were produced with 3-HV contents ranging from 37 to 97mol%; a glycerine:levulinic acid ratio of 0.2%:0.8% (w/v) resulted in poly(3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHV). Ten-liter batch fermentations using glycerine:levulinic acid ratios of 1%:0, 0.75%:0.25%, 0.5%:0.5% and 0.25%:0.75% (w/v) resulted in PHB, P(73%-3HB-co-27%-3HV), P(30%-3HB-co-70%-3HV) and PHV with increasing number average molecular weights (×103 g/mol) of 328, 511, 728 and 1330, respectively, owing to glycerine-based chain termination. These results provide a novel means by which glycerine and levulinic acid can be used collectively to produce an array of distinct sc-PHA biopolymers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - A simplified 2D model for meander migration with physically-based bank evolution

AB  - Abstract: The rate of migration, calculated by numerical models of river meandering, is commonly based on a method that relates the rate of migration to near-bank excess velocity multiplied by a dimensionless coefficient. Notwithstanding its simplicity, since the early 1980s this method has provided important insight into the long-term evolution of meander planforms through theoretical exercises. Its use in practice has not been as successful, because the complexity of the physical processes responsible for bank retreat, the heterogeneity in floodplain soils, and the presence of vegetation, make the calibration of the dimensionless coefficient rather challenging. This paper presents a new approach that calculates rates of meander migration using physically-based streambank erosion formulations. The University of Illinois RVR Meander model, which simulates meandering-river flow and bed morphodynamics, is integrated with algorithms for streambank erosion of the US Department of Agriculture channel evolution computer model CONCEPTS. The performance of the proposed approach is compared to that of the more simple classic method through the application to several test cases for idealized and natural planform geometry. The advantages and limitations of the approach are discussed, focusing on simulated planform pattern, the impact of soil spatial heterogeneity, the relative importance of the different processes controlling bank erosion (hydraulic erosion, cantilever, and planar failure), the requirements for obtaining stable migration patterns (centerline filtering and interpolation of bank physical properties), and the capability of predicting the planform evolution of natural rivers over engineering time scales (i.e., 50 to 100years). The applications show that the improved physically-based method of bank retreat is required to capture the complex long-term migration patterns of natural channels, which cannot be merely predicted from hydrodynamics only.

AB  - Abstract: Considerable interest has been given to forming an international collaboration to develop a virtual moderate spatial resolution land observation constellation through aggregation of data sets from comparable national observatories such as the US Landsat, the Indian ResourceSat and related systems. This study explores the complementarity of India''s ResourceSat-1 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) with the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). The analysis focuses on the comparative radiometry, geometry, and spectral properties of the two sensors. Two applied assessments of these data are also explored to examine the strengths and limitations of these alternate sources of moderate resolution land imagery with specific application domains. There are significant technical differences in these imaging systems including spectral band response, pixel dimensions, swath width, and radiometric resolution which produce differences in observation data sets. None of these differences was found to strongly limit comparable analyses in agricultural and forestry applications. Overall, we found that the AWiFS and Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery are comparable and in some ways complementary, particularly with respect to temporal repeat frequency. We have found that there are limits to our understanding of the AWiFS performance, for example, multi-camera design and stability of radiometric calibration over time, that leave some uncertainty that has been better addressed for Landsat through the Image Assessment System and related cross-sensor calibration studies. Such work still needs to be undertaken for AWiFS and similar observatories that may play roles in the Global Earth Observation System of Systems Land Surface Imaging Constellation.

AB  - The relationship between asparagine metabolism and protein concentration was investigated in soybean seed. Phenotyping of a population of recombinant inbred lines adapted to Illinois confirmed a positive correlation between free asparagine levels in developing seeds and protein concentration at maturity. Analysis of a second population of recombinant inbred lines adapted to Ontario associated the elevated free asparagine trait with two of four quantitative trait loci determining population variation for protein concentration, including a major one on chromosome 20 (linkage group I) which has been reported in multiple populations. In the seed coat, levels of asparagine synthetase were high at 50 mg and progressively declined until 150 mg seed weight, suggesting that nitrogenous assimilates are pre-conditioned at early developmental stages to enable a high concentration of asparagine in the embryo. The levels of asparaginase B1 showed an opposite pattern, being low at 50 mg and progressively increased until 150 mg, coinciding with an active phase of storage reserve accumulation. In a pair of genetically related cultivars, ∼2-fold higher levels of asparaginase B1 protein and activity in seed coat, were associated with high protein concentration, reflecting enhanced flux of nitrogen. Transcript expression analyses attributed this difference to a specific asparaginase gene, ASPGB1a. These results contribute to our understanding of the processes determining protein concentration in soybean seed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - The orexigenic hormone ghrelin is important in diabetes because it has an inhibitory effect on insulin secretion. Ghrelin ablation in leptindeficient ob/ob (Ghrelin-/-:ob/ob) mice increases insulin secretion and improves hyperglycemia. The physiologically relevant ghrelin receptor is the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), and GHS-R antagonists are thought to be an effective strategy for treating diabetes. However, since some of ghrelin's effects are independent of GHS-R, we have utilized genetic approaches to determine whether ghrelin's effect on insulin secretion is mediated through GHS-R and whether GHS-R antagonism indeed inhibits insulin secretion. We investigated the effects of GHS-R on glucose homeostasis in Ghsrablated ob/ob mice (Ghsr-/-:ob/ob). Ghsr ablation did not rescue the hyperphagia, obesity, or insulin resistance of ob/ob mice. Surprisingly, Ghsr ablation worsened the hyperglycemia, decreased insulin, and impaired glucose tolerance. Consistently, Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice upregulated negative β-cell regulators (such as UCP-2, SREBP- 1c, ChREBP, and MIF-1) and downregulated positive β-cell regulators (such as HIF-1α, FGF-21, and PDX-1) in whole pancreas; this suggests that Ghsr ablation impairs pancreatic β-cell function in leptin deficiency. Of note, Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice did not affect the islet size; the average islet size of Ghsr-/-:ob/ob mice is similar to that of ob/ob mice. In summary, because Ghsr ablation in leptin deficiency impairs insulin secretion and worsens hyperglycemia, this suggests that GHS-R antagonists may actually aggravate diabetes under certain conditions. The paradoxical effects of ghrelin ablation and Ghsr ablation in ob/ob mice highlight the complexity of the ghrelin-signaling pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lactose synthesis is believed to be rate limiting for milk production. However, understanding the molecular events controlling lactose synthesis in humans is still rudimentary. We have utilized our established model of the RNA isolated from breast milk fat globule from seven healthy, exclusively breastfeeding women from 6 h to 42 days following delivery to determine the temporal coordination of changes in gene expression in the carbohydrate metabolic processes emphasizing the lactose synthesis pathway in human mammary epithelial cell. We showed that milk lactose concentrations increased from 75 to 200 mM from 6 to 96 h. Milk progesterone concentrations fell by 65% at 24 h and were undetectable by day 3. Milk prolactin peaked at 36 h and then declined progressively afterward. In concordance with lactose synthesis, gene expression of galactose kinase 2, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2), and phosphoglucomutase 1 increased 18-, 10-, and threefold, respectively, between 6 and 72 h. Between 6 and 96 h, gene expression of UDP-galactose transporter 2 (SLC35A2) increased threefold, whereas glucose transporter 1 was unchanged. Gene expression of lactose synthase no. 3 increased 1.7-fold by 96 h, whereas α-lactalbumin did not change over the entire study duration. Gene expression of prolactin receptor (PRLR) and its downstream signal transducer and activator of transcription complex 5 (STAT5) were increased 10- and 2.5-fold, respectively, by 72 h. In summary, lactose synthesis paralleled the induction of gene expression of proteins involved in UDP-galactose synthesis and transport, suggesting that they are potentially rate limiting in lactose synthesis and thus milk production. Progesterone withdrawal may be the signal that triggers PRLR signaling via STAT5, which may in turn induce UGP2 and SLC35A2 expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Foliar nitrogen has been shown to be positively correlated with midsummer canopy albedo and canopy near infrared (NIR) reflectance over a broad range of plant functional types (e.g., forests, grasslands, and agricultural lands). To date, the mechanism(s) driving the nitrogen-albedo relationship have not been established, and it is unknown whether factors affecting nitrogen availability will also influence albedo. To address these questions, we examined variation in foliar nitrogen in relation to leaf spectral properties, leaf mass per unit area, and leaf water content for three deciduous species subjected to either nitrogen (Harvard Forest, MA, and Oak Ridge, TN) or CO fertilization (Oak Ridge, TN). At Oak Ridge, we also obtained canopy reflectance data from the airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer (AVIRIS) to examine whether canopy-level spectral responses were consistent with leaf-level results. At the leaf level, results showed no differences in reflectance or transmittance between CO or nitrogen treatments, despite significant changes in foliar nitrogen. Contrary to our expectations, there was a significant, but negative, relationship between foliar nitrogen and leaf albedo, a relationship that held for both full spectrum leaf albedo as well as leaf albedo in the NIR region alone. In contrast, remote sensing data indicated an increase in canopy NIR reflectance with nitrogen fertilization. Collectively, these results suggest that altered nitrogen availability can affect canopy albedo, albeit by mechanisms that involve canopy-level processes rather than changes in leaf-level reflectance.

AB  - Distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) may have more value and utility if they can be separated into high protein and high fiber fractions. A variety of such separation processes have been proposed; two of the most promising processes involve three screening and three air classification unit operations. In the present study, an alternative process involving fewer unit operations is demonstrated. DDGS are subjected to a single screening, and the oversize particles are processed in a mill setup so that it narrows the particle size distribution of the oversize fraction. The milled DDGS is then processed in an air classification device known as an aspirator, which separates it into high and low terminal velocity fractions. The combination of the undersize fraction and the low terminal velocity fraction were substantially enriched in protein. The separation achieved by this process compares favorably to other reported processes while being less complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We report here on a novel methodology in detecting Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) infection in cattle, based on identifying unique volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or a VOC profile in the breath of cattle. The study was conducted on an M. bovis-infected dairy located in southern Colorado, USA, and on two tuberculosis-free dairies from northern Colorado examined as negative controls. Gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of 2 VOCs associated with M. bovis infection and 2 other VOCs associated with the healthy state in the exhaled breath of M. bovis-infected and not infected animals, yielding distinctly different VOC patterns for the two study groups. Based on these results, a nanotechnology-based array of sensors was then tailored for detection of M. bovis-infected cattle via breath. Our system successfully identified all M. bovis-infected animals, while 21% of the not infected animals were classified as M. bovis-infected. This technique could form the basis for a real-time cattle monitoring system that allows efficient and non-invasive screening for new M. bovis infections on dairy farms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A novel direct contact transmission model for the study of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection of swine was utilized to investigate transmission characteristics of three FMDV strains belonging to serotypes A, 0 and Asial. Each strain demonstrated distinct transmission characteristics and required different exposure times to achieve successful contact transmission. While a 4 h exposure was sufficient for strain A24 Cruzeiro (A24Cru), both 01 Manisa and Asia! Shamir transmission required 18 h or more. Viral excretion levels from donors (for all three strains) and virus present in room air (for A24Cru and 01 Manisa) were evaluated and associated with clinical signs and observed transmission pattern. Although all directly inoculated donor animals showed acute FMD, A24Cru had the highest levels of viral shedding in saliva and nasal swabs followed by 01 Manisa and Asial Shamir. Virus levels in room air were higher and were detected longer for A24Cru than for 01 Manisa. These results provide direct evidence for important strain-specific variation in transmission characteristics and emphasize the need for thorough evaluation of different FMDV viral strains using a well defined contact transmission methodology. This information is critical for vaccine and biotherapeutic efficacy testing, pathogenesis and disease modeling of FMDV transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic mark that controls gene expression, is responsive to environmental stresses, and, in plants, may also play a role in heterosis. To determine the degree to which DNA methylation is inherited in rice, and how it both influences and is affected by transcription, we performed genome-wide measurements of these patterns through an integrative analysis of bisulf ite-sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and siRNA-sequencing data in two inbred parents of the Nipponbare (NPB) and indica (93-11) varieties of rice and their hybrid offspring. We show that SNPs occur at a rate of about 1/253 bp between the two parents and that these are faithfully transmitted into the hybrids. We use the presence of these SNPs to reconstruct the two chromosomes in the hybrids according to their parental origin. We found that, unlike genetic inheritance, epigenetic heritability is quite variable. Cytosines were found to be differentially methylated (epimutated) at a rate of 7.48% (1/15 cytosines) between the NPB and 93-11 parental strains. We also observed that 0.79% of cytosines were epimutated between the parent and corresponding hybrid chromosome. We found that these epimutations are often clustered on the chromosomes, with clusters representing 20% of all epimutations between parental ecotypes, and 2-5% in F1 plants. Epimutation clusters are also strongly associated with regions where the production of siRNA differs between parents. Finally, we identified genes with both allele-specific expression patterns that were strongly inherited as well as those differentially expressed between hybrids and the corresponding parental chromosome. We conclude that much of the misinheritance of expression levels is likely caused by epimutations and trans effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The early detection of an invading epidemic is crucial for successful disease control. Although models have been used extensively to test control strategies following the first detection of an epidemic, few studies have addressed the issue of how to achieve early detection in the first place. Moreover, sampling theory has made great progress in understanding how to estimate the incidence or spatial distribution of an epidemic but how to sample for early detection has been largely ignored. Using a simple epidemic model we demonstrate a method to calculate the incidence of an epidemic when it is discovered for the first time (given a monitoring programme taking samples at regular intervals). We use the method to explore how the intensity and frequency of sampling influences early detection. In particular, we find that for epidemics characterised by high population growth rates it is most effective to spread sampling resources evenly in time. In addition we derive a useful approximation to our method which results in a simple equation capturing the relation between monitoring and epidemic dynamics. Not only does this provide valuable new insight but it provides a simple rule of thumb for the design of monitoring programmes in practice. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We report the genome sequence of melon, an important horticultural crop worldwide. We assembled 375 Mb of the double-haploid line DHL92, representing 83.3% of the estimated melon genome. We predicted 27,427 protein-coding genes, which we analyzed by reconstructing 22,218 phylogenetic trees, allowing mapping of the orthology and paralogy relationships of sequenced plant genomes. We observed the absence of recent whole-genome duplications in the melon lineage since the ancient eudicot triplication, and our data suggest that transposon amplification may in part explain the increased size of the melon genome compared with the close relative cucumber. A low number of nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat disease resistance genes were annotated, suggesting the existence of specific defense mechanisms in this species. The DHL92 genome was compared with that of its parental lines allowing the quantification of sequence variability in the species. The use of the genome sequence in future investigations will facilitate the understanding of evolution of cucurbits and the improvement of breeding strategies [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Archaea have a self-assembling proteinaceous surface (S-) layer as the primary and outermost boundary of their cell envelopes. The S-layer maintains structural rigidity, protects the organism from adverse environmental elements, and yet provides access to all essential nutrients. We have determined the crystal structure of one of the two "homologous" tandem polypeptide repeats that comprise the Methanosarcina acetivorans S-layer protein and propose a high-resolution model for a microbial S-layer. The molecular features of our hexameric S-layer model recapitulate those visualized by medium resolution electron microscopy studies of microbial S-layers and greatly expand our molecular view of S-layer dimensions, porosity, and symmetry. The S-layer model reveals a negatively charged molecular sieve that presents both a charge and size barrier to restrict access to the cell periplasmic-like space. The p-sandwich folds of the S-layer protein are structurally homologous to eukaryotic virus envelope proteins, suggesting that Archaea and viruses have arrived at a common solution for protective envelope structures. These results provide insight into the evolutionary origins of primitive cell envelope structures, of which the S-layer is considered to be among the most primitive: it also provides a platform for the development of self-assembling nano-materials with diverse functional and structural properties.

AB  - Abstract: We purified a Carica papaya pectin methylesterase (CpL-PME; EC 3.1.1.11) from a commercial papain preparation. This CpL-PME was separated from the abundant cysteine endopeptidases activities using sequential hydrophobic interaction and cation-exchange chromatographies and then purified by affinity chromatography using Sepharose-immobilized kiwi PME inhibitor protein to obtain a single electrophoretically homogeneous protein. The enzyme was purified 92-fold with 38% yield, providing a specific activity of 1200 U/mg. The molecular weight was determined to be 35,135 by MALDI-TOF-MS in linear mode. MALDI-TOF-MS peptide mass fingerprinting following trypsin digestion indicated CpL-PME represents a novel Carica PME isoform. The CpL-PME required salt for activity, and it showed a broad activity range (pH 6–9) and moderate thermostability (optimum ca. 70°C). A calcium-insensitive methylated lime pectin treated with CpL-PME to reduce degree of methylesterification by 6% converted the substrate to high calcium sensitivity, indicating a processive mode of action. These properties support further research to apply CpL-PME to tailor pectin nanostructure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Studies are lacking on the nonthermal pasteurization of liquid foods using UV irradiators that centrifugally form very thin films to overcome the problem of limited penetration depth of UV. Grapefruit juice inoculated with Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae was processed at the following conditions: UV dose 4.8–24mJ/cm2; treatment time 3.2s, cylinder rotational speed 450–750rpm, cylinder inclination angle 15–45°, outlet temperature 11°C, and flow rate 300ml/min, and was stored for 35days. Appropriate dilutions of the samples were pour plated with TSA and TSA+3% NaCl for E. coli and Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and SDA+5% NaCl for S. cerevisiae. Nonthermal UV processing at 19mJ/cm2, 450rpm and 15° reduced E. coli in grapefruit juice by 5.1log10. A dose of 14mJ/cm2 reduced S. cerevisiae by 6.0log10. Inactivation increased linearly with increasing UV dose. The inactivations at 600 and 750rpm were similar, and were better than at 450rpm. The results at 30° and 45° were similar, and were better than at 15°. The occurrence of sublethal injury in either microorganism was not detected. Storing UV processed grapefruit juice at 4 and 10°C reduced the surviving E. coli to below 1log10 cfu/ml in 14days. Processing UV juice reduced the population of S. cerevisiae to less than 1log10 cfu/ml where it remained for 35days during refrigerated storage. These results suggest that grapefruit juice may be pasteurized using a nonthermal UV irradiator that centrifugally forms a thin film. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The yeast Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis can cause enormous economic losses in wine industry due to production of phenolic off-flavor compounds. D. bruxellensis is a distant relative of baker''s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nevertheless, these two yeasts are often found in the same habitats and share several food-related traits, such as production of high ethanol levels and ability to grow without oxygen. In some food products, like lambic beer, D. bruxellensis can importantly contribute to flavor development. We determined the 13.4Mb genome sequence of the D. bruxellensis strain Y879 (CBS2499) and deduced the genetic background of several “food-relevant” properties and evolutionary history of this yeast. Surprisingly, we find that this yeast is phylogenetically distant to other food-related yeasts and most related to Pichia (Komagataella) pastoris, which is an aerobic poor ethanol producer. We further show that the D. bruxellensis genome does not contain an excess of lineage specific duplicated genes nor a horizontally transferred URA1 gene, two crucial events that promoted the evolution of the food relevant traits in the S. cerevisiae lineage. However, D. bruxellensis has several independently duplicated ADH and ADH-like genes, which are likely responsible for metabolism of alcohols, including ethanol, and also a range of aromatic compounds.

AB  - Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a precursor of the methionine salvage pathway and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in various models of acute and chronic inflammation. However, the anti-inflammatory properties of MTA in models of intestinal inflammation are not defined. We hypothesized that orally administered MTA would be bioavailable and reduce morbidity associated with experimental colitis. We examined clinical, histological, and molecular markers of disease in mice provided oral MTA before (preventative) or after (therapy) the induction of colitis with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). We found a reduction in disease activity, weight loss, myeloperoxidase activity, and histological damage in mice given preventative MTA compared with DSS alone. We also found that equivalent supplementation with methionine could not reproduce the anti-inflammatory effects of MTA, and that MTA had no detectable adverse effects in control or DSS mice. Expression microarray analysis of colonic tissue showed several dominant pathways related to inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and extracellular matrix remodeling were upregulation by DSS and suppressed in MTA-supplemented mice. MTA is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and disseminated throughout the body, based on a time course analysis of an oral bolus of MTA. This effect is transient, with MTA levels falling to near baseline within 90 min in most organs. Moreover, MTA did not lead to increased blood or tissue methionine levels, suggesting that its effects are specific. However, MTA provided limited therapeutic benefit when administered after the onset of colitis. Our results show that oral MTA supplementation is a safe and effective strategy to prevent inflammation and tissue injury associated with DSS colitis in mice. Additional studies in chronic inflammatory models are necessary to determine if MTA is a safe and beneficial option for the maintenance of remission in human inflammatory bowel disease.

AB  - Abstract: The liquid–metal-induced fracture mode of T91 martensitic steel was investigated by using transmission electron microscopy techniques to characterize the microstructure and crack network in specimens obtained from focused-ion beam machining at and immediately below the fracture surface. Contrary to previous claims of quasi-cleavage fracture, the dominant fracture mode is intergranular cracking at martensite laths and prior austenite grain boundaries. These fracture mode results clarify an outstanding issue in liquid–metal embrittlement of steels that generally occur in a heavily-deformed microstructure. Several cracks were arrested at intergranular carbides, suggesting a metallurgical strategy for impeding liquid–metal-induced crack propagation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Flies transport specific bacteria with their larvae that provide a wider range of nutrients for those bacteria. Our hypothesis was that this symbiotic interaction may depend on interkingdom signaling. We obtained Proteus mirabilis from the salivary glands of the blow fly Lucilia sericata; this strain swarmed significantly and produced a strong odor that attracts blow flies. To identify the putative interkingdom signals for the bacterium and flies, we reasoned that as swarming is used by this bacterium to cover the food resource and requires bacterial signaling, the same bacterial signals used for swarming may be used to communicate with blow flies. Using transposon mutagenesis, we identified six novel genes for swarming (ureR, fis, hybG, zapB, fadE and PROSTU_03490), then, confirming our hypothesis, we discovered that fly attractants, lactic acid, phenol, NaOH, KOH and ammonia, restore swarming for cells with the swarming mutations. Hence, compounds produced by the bacterium that attract flies also are utilized for swarming. In addition, bacteria with the swarming mutation rfaL attracted fewer blow flies and reduced the number of eggs laid by the flies. Therefore, we have identified several interkingdom signals between P. mirabilis and blow flies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Environmental conditions influence plant responses to ozone (O3), but few studies have evaluated individual factors directly. In this study, the effect of O3 at high and low atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) was evaluated in two genotypes of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (R123 and S156) used as O3 bioindicator plants. Plants were grown in outdoor controlled-environment chambers in charcoal-filtered air containing 0 or 60 nl l−1 O3 (12 h average) at two VPDs (1.26 and 1.96 kPa) and sampled for biomass, leaf area, daily water loss, and seed yield. VPD clearly influenced O3 effects. At low VPD, O3 reduced biomass, leaf area, and seed yield substantially in both genotypes, while at high VPD, O3 had no significant effect on these components. In clean air, high VPD reduced biomass and yield by similar fractions in both genotypes compared with low VPD. Data suggest that a stomatal response to VPD per se may be lacking in both genotypes and it is hypothesized that the high VPD resulted in unsustainable transpiration and water deficits that resulted in reduced growth and yield. High VPD- and water-stress-induced stomatal responses may have reduced the O3 flux into the leaves, which contributed to a higher yield compared to the low VPD treatment in both genotypes. At low VPD, transpiration increased in the O3 treatment relative to the clean air treatment, suggesting that whole-plant conductance was increased by O3 exposure. Ozone-related biomass reductions at low VPD were proportionally higher in S156 than in R123, indicating that differential O3 sensitivity of these bioindicator plants remained evident when environmental conditions were conducive for O3 effects. Assessments of potential O3 impacts on vegetation should incorporate interacting factors such as VPD. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains belonging to serogroup O145 are important emerging food-borne pathogens responsible for sporadic cases and outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. A large plasmid carried by STEC O145:NM strain 83-75 and named pO145-NM was sequenced, and the genes were annotated. pO145-NM is 90,103bp in size and carries 89 open reading frames. Four genes/regions in pO145-NM encode for STEC virulence factors, including toxB (protein involved in adherence), espP (a serine protease), katP (catalase peroxidase), and the hly (hemolysin) gene cluster. These genes have also been identified in large virulence plasmids found in other STEC serogroups, including O26, O157, O111, and O103. pO145-NM carries the espPα subtype that is associated with STEC strains that cause more severe disease. Phylogenetic analyses of HlyB, EspP, and ToxB in various STEC strains showed a high degree of similarity of these proteins in E. coli serotypes O145:NM, O26:H11/H−, O111:NM/H−, and O157:H7 potentially placing these STEC into a related group.

AB  - Remotely sensed imagery provides a useful tool for land managers to assess the extent and severity of post-wildfire salvage logging disturbance. This investigation uses high resolution QuickBird and National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery to map soil exposure after ground-based salvage operations. Three wildfires with varying post-fire salvage activities and variable ground truth data were used to evaluate the utility of remotely sensed imagery for disturbance classification. The Red Eagle Fire in northwestern Montana had intensive ground truthing with GPS-equipment logging equipment to map their travel paths, the Tripod Fire in north central Washington had ground truthed disturbance transects, and the School Fire in southeastern Washington had no salvage-specific ground truthing but pre-and post-salvage images were available. Spectral mixture analysis (SMA) and principle component analysis (PCA) were used to evaluate the imagery. Our results showed that soil exposure (disturbance) was measureable when pre-and post-salvage QuickBird images were compared at one site. At two of the sites, only post-salvage imagery was available, and the soil exposure correlated well to salvage logging equipment disturbance at one site. When ground disturbance transects were compared to NAIP imagery two years after the salvage operation, it was difficult to identify disturbance due to vegetation regrowth. These results indicate that soil exposure (ground disturbance) by salvage operation can be detected with remotely sensed imagery especially if the images are taken less than two years after the salvage operation.

AB  - Kernel vitreosity is an important trait of wheat grain, but its developmental control is not completely known. We developed back-cross seven (BC) near-isogenic lines in the soft white spring wheat cultivar Alpowa that lack the distal portion of chromosome 5D short arm. From the final back-cross, 46 BCF plants were isolated. These plants exhibited a complete and perfect association between kernel vitreosity (i.e. vitreous, non-vitreous or mixed) and Single Kernel Characterization System (SKCS) hardness. Observed segregation of 10:28:7 fit a 1:2:1 Chi-square. BCF plants classified as heterozygous for both SKCS hardness and kernel vitreosity ( n = 29) were selected and a single vitreous and non-vitreous kernel were selected, and grown to maturity and subjected to SKCS analysis. The resultant phenotypic ratios were, from non-vitreous kernels, 23:6:0, and from vitreous kernels, 0:1:28, soft:heterozygous:hard, respectively. Three of these BCF heterozygous plants were selected and 40 kernels each drawn at random, grown to maturity and subjected to SKCS analysis. Phenotypic segregation ratios were 7:27:6, 11:20:9, and 3:28:9, soft:heterozygous:hard. Chi-square analysis supported a 1:2:1 segregation for one plant but not the other two, in which cases the two homozygous classes were under-represented. Twenty-two paired BCF:F full sibs were compared for kernel hardness, weight, size, density and protein content. SKCS hardness index differed markedly, 29.4 for the lines with a complete 5DS, and 88.6 for the lines possessing the deletion. The soft non-vitreous kernels were on average significantly heavier, by nearly 20%, and were slightly larger. Density and protein contents were similar, however. The results provide strong genetic evidence that gene(s) on distal 5DS control not only kernel hardness but also the manner in which the endosperm develops, viz . whether it is vitreous or non-vitreous.

AB  - Abstract: Pantoea agglomerans biocontrol strain E325 is the active ingredient in a commercial product for fire blight, a destructive disease of apple and pear initiated by Erwinia amylovora in flowers. Osmoadaptation, involving the combination of saline osmotic stress and osmolyte amendment to growth media, was investigated to improve the epiphytic colonization by E325 on apple flowers, particularly in dry climates. E325 was osmoadapted in nutrient yeast dextrose broth and in the commercial fermentation medium, both amended with NaCl and glycine betaine according to previous research. The bacterium was cultured and freeze dried with cryoprotectants at an ARS-USDA laboratory (Wenatchee, WA) and a commercial facility (Pasco, WA) prior to treating apple flowers in an orchard where relative humidity (RH) averaged <50%. On orchard flowers and on detached crab apple flowers, osmoadaptation generally did not affect colonization of E325 on flower stigmas or nectar-rich hypanthia. The exception was the significant advantage of osmoadapted E325 on hypanthia of detached flowers at 70% RH, resulting in osmotic conditions marginally conducive for bacteria. Osmoadaptation proved most beneficial for increasing E325 survival during freeze drying and storage prior to orchard application. It also complemented cryoprotection, improving overall stability of freeze dried preparations of this biocontrol agent. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Many rangeland streams and associated fisheries have suffered from livestock grazing as a cost of upland-forage utilization. Due to damage from intensive usage, restoration of damaged streams is now a common land-management objective. The Squaw Valley Ranch of Elko County, Nevada, US, in cooperation with the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Barrick Gold Corp., is attempting to improve those portions of the Rock Creek watershed negatively affected by past ranch operations. The watershed includes both historical and occupied habitat for the threatened Lahonton cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi [Richardson]). From 2003, and continuing to the present, hot-season livestock grazing on Squaw Valley Ranch private and permitted public-land riparian areas was greatly reduced. To assess the effectiveness of this conservation effort, we (1) evaluated BLM archived images of riparian photo points in the watershed, (2) tested for change over time using data from systematic, intermittent, aerial sampling that acquired 2-cm resolution images from low-altitude surveys conducted in 2003, 2004 and 2006, and (3) compared Landsat scenes of the area from before and after 2003. Willow (Salix spp.) cover was chosen as the primary ecological indictor of riparian condition and we introduce willow canopy (m2) per m of stream length in the image field-of-view, as a practical measure of willow status. Archived images from photo points show mostly low-condition riparian plant communities, often with little or no willow canopy evident before 2003, but with conspicuous improvement thereafter. This subjective perception is supported by objective analyses finding, (1) the relative increase in willow cover nearly tripled on one stream, more than doubled on three others, and increased on all but one (fire affected) and (2) a highly significant post-2003 increase in willows in the Landsat record. Thus, the post-2003 increase in willow cover documented in three complementary lines of evidence from ground, air, and space support the predicted ecological benefits of reduced hot-season riparian grazing and the utility of 2-cm imagery as a tool for assessing watershed-wide conservation benefits from a federal cost-share-eligible conservation practice. This appears to be the first use of willow measurements from an aerial survey as a particular indicator of riparian condition and trend and the first demonstration of change detection based on objective measurements from a watershed-scale riparian monitoring effort that used systematic sampling (versus subjective selection) and high sample density to address the large Type II error (false negative) risk common to conventional land-management survey efforts.

AB  - Abstract: Sequestration of carbon dioxide in unmineable coal seams is a potential technology mainly because of the potential for simultaneous enhanced coalbed methane production (ECBM). Several pilot tests have been performed around the globe leading to mixed results. Numerous modeling efforts have been carried out successfully to model methane production and carbon dioxide (CO2) injection. Sensitivity analyses and history matching along with several optimization tools were used to estimate reservoir properties and to investigate reservoir performance. Geological and geophysical techniques have also been used to characterize field sequestration sites and to inspect reservoir heterogeneity. The fate and movement of injected CO2 can be determined by using several monitoring techniques. Monitoring of perfluorocarbon (PFC) tracers is one of these monitoring technologies. As a part of this monitoring technique, a small fraction of a traceable fluid is added to the injection wellhead along with the CO2 stream at different times to monitor the timing and location of the breakthrough in nearby monitoring wells or offset production wells. A reservoir modeling study was performed to simulate a pilot sequestration site located in the San Juan coal basin of northern New Mexico. Several unknown reservoir properties at the field site were estimated by modeling the coal seam as a dual porosity formation and by history matching the methane production and CO2 injection. In addition to reservoir modeling of methane production and CO2 injection, tracer injection was modeled. Tracers serve as a surrogate for determining potential leakage of CO2. The tracer was modeled as a non-reactive gas and was injected into the reservoir as a mixture along with CO2. Geologic and geometric details of the field site, numerical modeling details of methane production, CO2 injection, and tracer injection are presented in this paper. Moreover, the numerical predictions of the tracer arrival times were compared with the measured field data. Results show that tracer modeling is useful in investigating movement of injected CO2 into the coal seam at the field site. Also, such new modeling techniques can be utilized to determine potential leakage pathways, and to investigate reservoir anisotropy and heterogeneity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Estimates of mean tap water intake differed between the survey cycles for men aged ≥71 years.ConclusionsSurvey variables must be examined before combining or comparing data from multiple WWEIA/NHANES release cycles. For at least some age/gender groups, drinking water intake data from NHANES cycles prior to 2005–2006 should not be considered comparable to more recent data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate how materials science can be combined with the established methods of organic chemistry to find mechanistic bottlenecks and redesign heterogeneous catalysts for improved performance. By using solid-state NMR, infrared spectroscopy, surface and kinetic analysis, we prove the existence of a substrate inhibition in the aldol condensation catalyzed by heterogeneous amines. We show that modifying the structure of the supported amines according to the proposed mechanism dramatically enhances the activity of the heterogeneous catalyst. We also provide evidence that the reaction benefits significantly from the surface chemistry of the silica support, which plays the role of a co-catalyst, giving activities up to two orders of magnitude larger than those of homogeneous amines. This study confirms that the optimization of a heterogeneous catalyst depends as much on obtaining organic mechanistic information as it does on controlling the structure of the support.

AB  - Abstract: Background: There has been a worldwide resurgence of bedbug infestations. Bites by these insects may cause mild or severe cutaneous reactions, and anaphylaxis has been reported. Little is known about the most severe cutaneous reactions, termed bullous or complex reactions. Objective: To study the time course and histopathologic findings of complex (bullous) cutaneous reactions to bedbugs in order to determine the optional treatment for them. Design, Setting, and Participants: We prospectively photographed bullous reactions to observed bedbug bites at 30 minutes; 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours; 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, and biopsied reactions at 30 minutes, and 6, 12, and 24 hours. We also reviewed Internet postings and the available medical literature on bullous reactions after bedbug bites. Main Outcomes and Measures: Correlations between clinical and histologic findings using both routine and immunofluorescent techniques. Results: Bullous reactions to bedbugs are not rare. Of 357 photographs of bedbug bites posted on the Internet, 6% were bullous. In an individual with previous bullous reactions, experimental bedbug bites were associated with a progression of cutaneous responses at bite sites from immediate, pruritic, edematous lesions to a late-in-time macule, which evolved into bullous reactions by 24 hours. Bullous lesions eventually lysed but took weeks to heal. Histopathologic evaluation of bullous reactions showed a polymorphous picture with histologic evidence of an urticarial-like reaction early on that rapidly developed into a hybrid leukocytoclastic vasculitis. This vasculitis was initially neutrophilic but developed into a destructive, necrotizing, eosinophil-rich vasculitis with prominent infiltration of CD 68+ histiocytes and collagen necrobiosis. This histologic picture is similar to the dermal vasculitis in patients with Churg-Strauss vasculitis. Conclusion: Historically, bedbug bite reactions have been considered to be of minor medical significance. However, the findings presented here demonstrate that the not-uncommon bullous reactions to bedbug bites reflect the presence of a local, highly destructive, cutaneous vasculitis. The histologic features of these reactions resemble those occurring in the Churg-Strauss syndrome. Therefore, efforts to prevent further bites and monitor for evidence of systemic vasculitis should be made in patients with bullous reactions to bedbug bites. Topical treatment with high potency corticosteroids may be useful in the treatment of bullous reactions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Nanohybrid catalysts that comprised montmorillonite (Mt) matrix and embedded zero-valent Fe nanoparticle are presented. In this process, clay particles are used as 2-dimensional template that induce the growth of intercalated nanomaterials. Fe polycations are first embedded within the interlayer space and then reduced to Fe nanoparticles through thermal annealing in reducing atmosphere. Structural studies using electron microscopy and high energy X-ray show that the intercalated status of the polycations dictates the crystal structure, shape and size of final Fe compound particles. The magnetic property and caltalytic efficacy of hybrid particles have been verified using magnetometer measurement and Fenton reaction. Hybrized α-Fe nanoparticles show high magnetization inherent to zero valent Fe, and high catalytic efficacy in decomposing Rhodamine B due to their zero valency and large surface areas. This simple synthesis process of stable iron nanoparticle without organic agents will be beneficial for large scale production of highly effective catalysts exploiting controlled phase and shape of embedded nanoparticles.

AB  - Sorghum, an ancient old-world cereal grass, is the dietary staple of over 500 million people in more than 30 countries in the tropics and semitropics. Its C4 photosynthesis, drought resistance, wide adaptation, and high nutritional value hold the promise to alleviate hunger in Africa. Not present in other major cereals, such as rice, wheat, and maize, condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) in the pigmented testa of some sorghum cultivars have been implicated in reducing protein digestibility but recently have been shown to promote human health because of their high antioxidant capacity and ability to fight obesity through reduced digestion. Combining quantitative trait locus mapping, meta-quantitative trait locus fine-mapping, and association mapping, we showed that the nucleotide polymorphisms in the Tan1 gene, coding a WD40 protein, control the tannin biosynthesis in sorghum. A 1-bp G deletion in the coding region, causing a frame shift and a premature stop codon, led to a nonfunctional allele, tan1-a. Likewise, a different 10-bp insertion resulted in a second nonfunctional allele, tanl-b. Transforming the sorghum Tan1 ORF into a nontannin Arabidopsis mutant restored the tannin phenotype. In addition, reduction in nucleotide diversity from wild sorghum accessions to landraces and cultivars was found at the region that codes the highly conserved WD40 repeat domains and the C-terminal region of the protein. Genetic research in crops, coupled with nutritional and medical research, could open the possibility of producing different levels and combinations of phenolic compounds to promote human health.

AB  - Recent breakthrough research on mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) materials has illustrated their significant potential in biological applications due to their excellent drug delivery and endocytotic behavior. We set out to determine if MSN, covalently functionalized with conformation specific bioactive molecules (either linear or cyclic RGD ligands), behave towards mammalian cells in a similar manner as the free ligands. We discovered that RGD immobilized on the MSN surface did not influence the integrity of the porous matrix and improved the endocytosis efficiency of the MSN materials. Through competition experiments with free RGD ligands, we also discovered a conformation specific receptor-integrin association. The interaction between RGD immobilized on the MSN surface and integrins plays an important role in endosome trafficking, specifically dictating the kinetics of endosomal escape. Thus, covalent functionalization of biomolecules on MSN assists in the design of a system for controlling the interface with cancer cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate cultivar variations in phenolic content, anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of peel and flesh; and to determine their potential inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase in 33 blueberry (Vaccinium species) cultivars, including 29 rabbiteye (Vaccinium ashei Reade) blueberries, two V. ashei hybrid derivatives, and two northern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The relation of phenolic, anthocyanin, and antioxidant activity to α-glucosidase inhibition in blueberries also was investigated. It was found that peel tissue possessed higher levels of total anthocyanins (TA), total phenolics (TP), antioxidant capacity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than flesh tissue in all blueberries tested. The percentage contributions of peel to whole berry on scavenging capacity against peroxyl free radicals (ROO), hydroxyl radicals (OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and singlet oxygen (1O2) radicals, were higher than those of flesh, even though the fruit contained much higher amounts of flesh than peel in terms of dry weight. Cultivars with high levels of phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacities, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities could be selected for use in blueberry breeding programs to develop new lines with improved health benefits.

T1  - Adipocyte expression of PU.1 transcription factor causes insulin resistance through upregulation of inflammatory cytokine gene expression and ROS production.

AB  - We have reported previously that ETS family transcription factor PU.1 is expressed in mature adipocytes of white adipose tissue. PU.1 expression is increased greatly in mouse models of genetic or diet-induced obesity. Here, we show that PU.1 expression is increased only in visceral but not subcutaneous adipose tissues of obese mice, and the adipocytes are responsible for this increase in PU.1 expression. To further address PU.1's physiological function in mature adipocytes, PU.1 was knocked down in 3T3-L1 cells using retroviral-mediated expression of PU.1-targeting shRNA. Consistent with previous findings that PU.1 regulates its target genes, such as NADPH oxidase subunits and proinflammatory cytokines in myeloid cells, the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6) and cytosolic components of NADPH oxidase (p47phox and p40phox) were downregulated significantly in PU.1-silenced adipocytes. NADPH oxidase is a main source for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Indeed, silencing PU.1 suppressed NADPH oxidase activity and attenuated ROS in basal or hydrogen peroxide-treated adipocytes. Silencing PU.1 in adipocytes suppressed JNK1 activation and IRS-1 phosphorylation at Ser307. Consequently, PU.1 knockdown improved insulin signaling and increased glucose uptake in basal and insulinstimulated conditions. Furthermore, knocking down PU.1 suppressed basal lipolysis but activated stimulated lipolysis. Collectively, these findings indicate that obesity induces PU.1 expression in adipocytes to upregulate the production of ROS and proinflammatory cytokines, both of which lead to JNK1 activation, insulin resistance, and dysregulation of lipolysis. Therefore, PU.1 might be a mediator for obesity-induced adipose inflammation and insulin resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Risk of Campylobacter infection in humans has been associated with many sources, including dogs. C. upsaliensis is the most common species found in canines, and has been occasionally isolated from symptomatic humans. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of 41 C. upsaliensis isolates carried by dogs and from nine isolates carried by humans using Multilocus sequence typing (MLST). We identified considerable genetic diversity amongst the C. upsaliensis isolates from both dogs and humans, identifying 45 different sequence types (STs). All STs were new, apart from that of the reference strain. Only three STs were found in more than one isolate: ST-72 (2 isolates), ST-98 (2 isolates) and ST-104 (3 isolates). ST-104 was the only ST to be encountered in both dogs and humans. Thirty-one of the 45 STs were assigned to one of 13 clonal complexes (CCs). Four of these CCs contained STs originating from both humans and dogs. None of the CCs contained exclusively human isolates, and two isolates from dogs within the same kennel belonged to the same CC. The large amount of diversity found in both dog and human isolates of C. upsaliensis, combined with the relatively small database, made it difficult to assign strains to sources of infection. This emphasizes the need to increase the size of the database. Dog and human isolates occasionally grouped together, however there were insufficient human-derived isolates to determine whether or not dogs are a common source of infection. Although C. upsaliensis infection is rare in humans, dogs still remain a potential source, and are therefore a possible zoonotic risk. Further work is needed to investigate the epidemiology of C. upsaliensis infection in humans. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Cultural ecosystem services (ES) are consistently recognized but not yet adequately defined or integrated within the ES framework. A substantial body of models, methods, and data relevant to cultural services has been developed within the social and behavioral sciences before and outside of the ES approach. A selective review of work in landscape aesthetics, cultural heritage, outdoor recreation, and spiritual significance demonstrates opportunities for operationally defining cultural services in terms of socioecological models, consistent with the larger set of ES. Such models explicitly link ecological structures and functions with cultural values and benefits, facilitating communication between scientists and stakeholders and enabling economic, multicriterion, deliberative evaluation and other methods that can clarify tradeoffs and synergies involving cultural ES. Based on this approach, a common representation is offered that frames cultural services, along with all ES, by the relative contribution of relevant ecological structures and functions and by applicable social evaluation approaches. This perspective provides a foundation for merging ecological and social science epistemologies to define and integrate cultural services better within the broader ES framework [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We reported previously that ovariectomy alters prepubertal development of mammary myoepithelial cells (MC) by mechanisms that are not well understood. Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed expression of 2 myoepithelial differentiation markers, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CD10), in mammary parenchymal tissue from intact (INT) and ovariectomized (OVX) heifers. On d 40, Holstein heifers underwent either an ovariectomy (OVX; n = 16) or a sham (INT; n = 21) operation. At 55, 70, 85, 100, 130, and 160 d of age, tissues were collected, and multispectral imaging was used to quantify immunofluorescent staining for myoepithelial cell (MC) markers. Fluorescent intensity (FI) of the markers was normalized against a control sample. In the basal epithelial layer, CD10 FI was less and SMA FI was greater in OVX than INT. The ratio of SMA to CD10 FI, as a proxy indicator for MC differentiation, was greater in tissue from OVX compared with INT heifers after 55 d of age. The staining for SMA was frequently more intense along the basal aspect of cells, whereas CD10 expression was localized on the apical surface of the MC. In mammary tissue from both INT and OVX heifers, we observed basal cells that were negative for both CD10 and SMA, some of which appeared to span the distance from basement membrane to the ductal lumen. Interestingly, we also observed CD10+ cells adjacent to the ductal lumen, a situation that was more prevalent in OVX than in INT heifers. Also, ovariectomy affects MC expression of both SMA and CD10, as well as the pattern of MC development. Myoepithelial cells are known to limit parenchymal growth in other species. Involvement of MC as regulators of prepubertal bovine mammary development is worthy of further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Of 20 Lactobacillus and 8 Bifidobacterium species examined, only Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 was able to ferment starch from fava beans. Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 were selected as probiotics for use in fresh-style Panela cheese. Two types of fresh cheese (with and without 3% fava bean starch) were manufactured with 3 combinations of probiotics: L. rhamnosus GG only, B. breve only, or both L. rhamnosus GG and B. breve. During 4 wk of storage at 4°C, the addition of fava bean starch to the cheese was not found to cause significant differences in the viability of either probiotic strain. However, the microstructure and texture of Panela cheese were altered, resulting in a much softer product. A sensory panel showed that the presence of added fava bean starch in Panela cheese was less desirable to consumers, whereas probiotic supplementation had no effect on perceived taste or appearance. Panela cheese could be a suitable food for inclusion of probiotic bacteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The search for alternative feedstocks for biodiesel as a partial replacement for petrodiesel has recently extended to castor oil. In this work, the castor oil methyl esters were prepared and their properties determined in comparison to the methyl esters of lesquerella oil, which, in turn, is seen as an alternative to castor oil. Both oils contain high amounts of hydroxy fatty acids, castor oil containing ricinoleic acid, lesquerella oil containing lesquerolic acid as C20 homolog of ricinoleic acid. Lesquerella oil, however, contains higher amounts of conventional C18 fatty acids than castor oil. The methyl esters of lesquerella oil exhibit a higher cetane number (45. 6 vs. 37.55) and lower kinematic viscosity (11.22 vs. 14.82 mm2/s) than the methyl esters of castor oil, both values for lesquerella methyl esters being closer to specifications in biodiesel standards, while oxidative stability of castor methyl esters is higher although this issue appears complex. Both lesquerella and castor oil methyl esters do not meet biodiesel standards requirements in terms of cetane number, kinematic viscosity, and density. Overall, however, lesquerella methyl esters appear to have more favorable fuel properties than castor methyl esters although sulfur content is elevated. Both lesquerella and castor methyl esters have a greater tendency to exceed free glycerol and water specifications in biodiesel standards. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of lesquerella methyl esters are reported. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The phylogenetic diversity of true morels (Morchella) in China was estimated by initially analyzing nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences from 361 specimens collected in 21 provinces during the 2003–2011 growing seasons, together with six collections obtained on loan from three Chinese herbaria. Based on the results of this preliminary screen, 40 Esculenta Clade (yellow morels) and 30 Elata Clade (black morels) were chosen to represent the full range of phylogenetic diversity sampled. To investigate their species limits, we generated DNA sequences from portions of three protein-coding genes (RPB1, RPB2 and EF-1α) and domains D1 and D2 of the nuclear large subunit (LSU) rDNA for all 70 collections. To fully assess evolutionary relationships, previously published multilocus DNA sequence data representing all known Morchella species was included in this study. Phylogenetic analyses employing maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood frameworks resolved 30 species in China compared with 22 in Europe and 19 within North America. Eleven novel phylogenetically distinct species were discovered in China, including two species within the Elata Clade and nine within the Esculenta Clade. Of the 30 species in China, 20 appear to be endemic, nine were also represented in Europe, and four putatively fire-adapted species have disjunct distributions in China, Europe and western North America. Although the diversification time estimates place the Esculenta Clade in China as early as the late Cretaceous and the Elata Clade by the early Oligocene, 27 of the 30 species evolved between the middle Miocene 12Mya and present.

AB  - Abstract: Background: The American Heart Association has established criteria for the evaluation of novel markers of cardiovascular risk. In accordance with these criteria, we assessed the association between a multi-locus genetic risk score (GRS) and incident coronary heart disease (CHD), and evaluated whether this GRS improves the predictive capacity of the Framingham risk function. Methods and results: Using eight genetic variants associated with CHD but not with classical cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), we generated a multi-locus GRS, and found it to be linearly associated with CHD in two population based cohorts: The REGICOR Study (n =2351) and The Framingham Heart Study (n =3537) (meta-analyzed HR [95%CI]: ∼1.13 [1.01–1.27], per unit). Inclusion of the GRS in the Framingham risk function improved its discriminative capacity in the Framingham sample (c-statistic: 72.81 vs.72.37, p =0.042) but not in the REGICOR sample. According to both the net reclassification improvement (NRI) index and the integrated discrimination index (IDI), the GRS improved re-classification among individuals with intermediate coronary risk (meta-analysis NRI [95%CI]: 17.44 [8.04; 26.83]), but not overall. Conclusions: A multi-locus GRS based on genetic variants unrelated to CVRFs was associated with a linear increase in risk of CHD events in two distinct populations. This GRS improves risk reclassification particularly in the population at intermediate coronary risk. These results indicate the potential value of the inclusion of genetic information in classical functions for risk assessment in the intermediate risk population group. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The major genes controlling sunflower downy mildew resistance have been designated as Pl genes. Ten of the more than 20 Pl genes reported have been mapped. In this study, we report the molecular mapping of gene Pl in a sunflower downy mildew differential line, HA-R4. It was mapped on the lower end of linkage group (LG) 1 of the sunflower reference map, with 12 markers covering a distance of 78.9 cM. One dominant simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, ORS1008, co-segregated with Pl, and another co-dominant expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR marker, HT636, was located 0.3 cM proximal to the Pl gene. The HT636 marker was also closely linked to the Pl gene in another sunflower differential line, HA-R5. Thus the Pl and Pl genes were mapped to a similar position on LG 1 that is different from the previously reported Pl gene. When the co-segregating and tightly linked markers for the Pl gene were applied to other germplasms or hybrids, a unique band pattern for the ORS1008 marker was detected in HA-R4 and HA-R5 and their F hybrids. This is the first report to provide two tightly linked markers for both the Pl and Pl genes, which will facilitate marker-assisted selection in sunflower resistance breeding, and provide a basis for the cloning of these genes.

AB  - Abstract: Non-agricultural flowering plants in agricultural settings provide ecological services, such as nectar-food for adult parasitic flies. In order to determine the attractiveness of flowers to Tachinidae, 12 species of cultivated, introduced/established and native potted plants-in-flower were individually placed beneath interception traps erected along the wooded margins of fields planted seasonally with either feed-corn or rye. Simultaneous controls consisted of traps associated with the same species of plant without flowers, a pot without plants or both. In two additional instances where flowering-plants grew in situ it was necessary to compare initial trap captures to those following the removal of the plants. Of the 14 plant species tested five captured more Tachinidae at the family level than controls (Agastache hybrid, Ageratina aromatica (L.), Aloysia virgata (Lopez & Pavon), Daucus carota L. and Stelleria media (L.)). At the tachinid subfamily and genera/species levels traps associated with Buddleia davidii Franch., Galium aparine L., Agastache hybrid, A. aromatica, A. virgata and D. carota caught significantly more flies than controls. Over all taxonomic levels, half (7) of the plant species-in-flower were associated with trap-catches greater than those associated with plants out-of-flower and/or without plants. There was no relationship between the ratios of flies captured in flowering plant-baited traps relative to those captured in controls and flower widths, flower depths, flower densities, numbers of flowers or floral areas (flower area*number of flowers). However particular plants were identified that might be incorporated into regional conservation biological control programs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Stripe rust (yellow rust) of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most important diseases in both China and the United States. The Chinese and US populations of the stripe rust fungus were compared for their virulence phenotypes on wheat cultivars used to differentiate races of the pathogen in China and the US and molecular genotypes using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. From 86 Chinese isolates, 54 races were identified based on reactions on the 17 Chinese differentials and 52 races were identified based on the 20 US differentials. The selected 51 US isolates, representing 50 races based on the US differentials, were identified as 41 races using the Chinese differentials. A total of 132 virulence phenotypes were identified from the 137 isolates based on reactions on both Chinese and US differentials. None of the isolates from the two countries had identical virulence phenotypes on both sets of differentials. From the 137 isolates, SSR markers identified 102 genotypes, of which 71 from China and 31 from the US. The virulence data clustered the 137 isolates into 20 virulence groups (VGs) and the marker data clustered the isolates into seven molecular groups (MGs). Virulence and SSR data had a low (r = 0.34), but significant (P = 0.01) correlation. Principal component analyses using either the virulence data or the SSR data separated the isolates into three groups: group a consisting of only Chinese isolates, group b consisting of both Chinese and US isolates and group c consisting of mostly US isolates. A neighbour-joining tree generated using the molecular data suggested that the P. striiformis f. sp. tritici populations of China and the US in general evolved independently.

AB  - Abstract: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] to 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in serum concentration of vitamin D metabolites 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] during teriparatide 20μg/day (teriparatide) therapy in the double-blind Fracture Prevention Trial of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and in the male study of men with osteoporosis. Patients were randomized to teriparatide or placebo and received daily supplements of calcium 1000mg and vitamin D 400–1200IU. Serum concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D were measured. In women (N =336), median 1,25(OH)2D concentrations at 1month increased from baseline by 27% (P <0.0001) in the teriparatide group versus −3% (P =0.87) in the placebo group (between group P <0.0001). At 12months, the increase was 19% (P <0.0001) in the teriparatide group versus −2% (P =0.23) in the placebo group (P <0.0001). Median 25(OH)D concentrations at 12months decreased by 19% (P <0.0001) in the teriparatide group versus 0% (P =0.13) in the placebo group (P <0.0001). In men (N =287), median 1,25(OH)2D concentrations at 1month increased by 22% (P <0.0001) in the teriparatide group versus 0% (P =0.99) in the placebo group (P <0.0001). At 12months, the increase was 14% (P <0.0001) in the teriparatide group versus 5% (P =0.004) in the placebo group (P =0.17). Median 25(OH)D concentrations at 12months decreased by 11% (P =0.001) in the teriparatide group versus an increase of 1% (P=0.20) in the placebo group (P=0.003). Therefore, treatment with teriparatide increases 1,25(OH)2D concentrations and decreases 25(OH)D concentrations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: Dissolved CO2 in groundwater is frequently supersaturated relative to its equilibrium with atmospheric partial pressure and will degas when it is conveyed to the surface. Estimates of dissolved CO2 concentrations can vary widely between different hydrochemical facies because they have different sources of error (e.g., rapid degassing, low alkalinity, non-carbonate alkalinity). We sampled 60 natural spring and mine waters using a beverage industry carbonation meter, which measures dissolved CO2 based on temperature and pressure changes as the sample volume is expanded. Using a modified field protocol, the meter was found to be highly accurate in the range 0.2–35mM CO2. The meter provided rapid, accurate and precise measurements of dissolved CO2 in natural waters for a range of hydrochemical facies. Dissolved CO2 concentrations measured in the field with the carbonation meter were similar to CO2 determined using the pH-alkalinity approach, but provided immediate results and avoided errors from alkalinity and pH determination. The portability and ease of use of the carbonation meter in the field made it well-suited to sampling in difficult terrain. The carbonation meter has proven useful in the study of aquatic systems where CO2 degassing drives geochemical changes that result in surficial mineral precipitation and deposition, such as tufa, travertine and mine drainage deposits.

AB  - Abstract: The main objectives of this work were to study the suitability of using infrared (IR) heating as a dry-blanching pretreatment prior to frying and to investigate its potential to reduce the oil uptake in French fry production. It was observed that by using IR heat complete inactivation of polyphenol oxidase enzyme could be achieved in 3min with 4.7% moisture loss for 9mm French fries. Following IR dry-blanching, the samples were fried at 146, 160, and 174°C for 1, 3, 5, and 7min. At the end of 7min frying, compared to unblanched samples, dry-blanched samples had 37.5%, 32% and 30% less total oil at the frying temperatures of 146, 160 and 174°C, respectively. The final moisture contents of unblanched and dry-blanched samples were between 50% and 60% after 7min frying. The L*a*b* colour values of both unblanched and dry-blanched samples decreased initially and then increased as the frying progressed. The sensory evaluation revealed that panelists mostly favored the IR dry-blanched French fries in terms of taste, texture, colour and appearance. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Motivation: The sequencing of over a thousand natural strains of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana is producing unparalleled information at the genetic level for plant researchers. To enable the rapid exploitation of these data for functional proteomics studies, we have created a resource for the visualization of protein information and proteomic datasets for sequenced natural strains of A. thaliana.Results: The 1001 Proteomes portal can be used to visualize amino acid substitutions or non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms in individual proteins of A. thaliana based on the reference genome Col-0. We have used the available processed sequence information to analyze the conservation of known residues subject to protein phosphorylation among these natural strains. The substitution of amino acids in A. thaliana natural strains is heavily constrained and is likely a result of the conservation of functional attributes within proteins. At a practical level, we demonstrate that this information can be used to clarify ambiguously defined phosphorylation sites from phosphoproteomic studies. Protein sets of available natural variants are available for download to enable proteomic studies on these accessions. Together this information can be used to uncover the possible roles of specific amino acids in determining the structure and function of proteins in the model plant A. thaliana. An online portal to enable the community to exploit these data can be accessed at http://1001proteomes.masc-proteomics.org/Contact: jlheazlewood@lbl.govSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

AB  - Using both computational and experimental analysis, we demonstrate a rich point-defect phase diagram in doped strontium titanate as a function of thermodynamic variables such as oxygen partial pressure and electronic chemical potential. Computational modeling of point-defect energetics demonstrates that a complex interplay exists between dopants, thermodynamic parameters, and intrinsic defects in thin films of SrTiOs (STO). We synthesize STO thin films via pulsed laser deposition and explore this interplay between intrinsic defects, doping, compensation, and carrier concentration. Our point-defect analysis (i) demonstrates that careful control over growth conditions can result in the tunable presence of anion and cation vacancies, (ii) suggests that compensation mechanisms will pose intrinsic limits on the dopabiUty of perovskites, and (¡ii) provides a guide for tailoring the properties of doped perovskite thin films.

AB  - Abstract: The effects of cultural system and essential oil treatment on antioxidant capacities in raspberries were evaluated. Raspberries were hand-harvested from organic and conventional farms in Maryland, USA, and were treated with essential oil including carvacrol, anethole, cinnamic acid, perillaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, and linalool. Results from this study showed that raspberries grown from organic culture exhibited higher value of antioxidant capacities and individual flavonoids contents. Moreover, the organic culture also enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes. In addition, essential oil treatments promoted the antioxidant enzymes activities and antioxidant capacities of raspberries, and the most effective compound was perillaldehyde. In conclusion, raspberries produced from organic culture contained significantly higher antioxidant capacities than those produce from conventional culture. Postharvest essential oil treatments have positive effect on enhancing antioxidant capacities in raspberries from both organic and conventional cultures. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Peanut allergy is recognized as one of the most severe food allergies. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in IgE binding capacity of peanut proteins produced by thermal-processing methods, including autoclaving. Immunoreactivity to raw and thermally processed peanut extracts was evaluated by IgE immunoblot and skin prick test in patients with clinical allergy to peanut. Roasted peanut and autoclaved roasted peanut were selected for IgE ELISA experiments with individual sera, immunoblot experiments with antibodies against peanut allergens (Ara h 1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3), digestion experiments, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed IgE immunoreactivity of roasted peanut proteins decreased significantly at extreme conditions of autoclaving. Circular dichroism experiments showed unfolding of proteins in autoclave treated samples, which makes them more susceptible to digestion. Autoclaving at 2.56atm, for 30min, produces a significant decrease of IgE-binding capacity of peanut allergens. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Cassava bagasse is an inexpensive and broadly available waste byproduct from cassava starch production. It contains roughly 50% cassava starch along with mostly fiber and could be a valuable feedstock for various bioproducts. Cassava bagasse and cassava starch were used in this study to make fiber-reinforced thermoplastic starch (TPSB and TPSI, respectively). In addition, blends of poly (lactic acid) and TPSI (20%) and TPSB (5, 10, 15, 20%) were prepared as a means of producing low cost composite materials with good performance. The TPS and PLA blends were prepared by extrusion and their morphological, mechanical, spectral, and thermal properties were evaluated. The results showed the feasibility of obtaining thermoplastic starches from cassava bagasse. The presence of fiber in the bagasse acted as reinforcement in the TPS matrix and increased the maximum tensile strength (0.60MPa) and the tensile modulus (41.6MPa) compared to cassava starch TPS (0.40 and 2.04MPa, respectively). As expected, blending TPS with PLA reduced the tensile strength (55.4MPa) and modulus (2.4GPa) of neat PLA. At higher TPSB content (20%) the maximum strength (19.9MPa) and tensile modulus (1.7GPa) were reduced about 64% and 32%, respectively, compared to the PLA matrix. In comparison, the tensile strength (16.7) and modulus (1.2GPa) of PLA blends made with TPSI were reduced 70% and 51% respectively. The fiber from the cassava bagasse was considered a filler since no increase in tensile strength of PLA/TPS blends was observed. The TPSI (33.1%) had higher elongation to break compared to both TPSB (4.9%) and PLA (2.6%). The elongation to break increased from 2.6% to 14.5% by blending TPSI with PLA. In contrast, elongation to break decreased slightly by blending TPSB with PLA. Thermal analysis indicated there was some low level of interaction between PLA and TPS. In PLA/TPSB blends, the TPSB increased the crystallinity of the PLA component compared to neat PLA. The fiber component of TPSB appeared to have a nucleating effect favoring PLA crystallization.

AB  - Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial pathogen which causes clinical infections and food poisoning. This bacterium produces a group of twenty-one enterotoxins(SEs). These enterotoxins have two separate but related biological activities. They cause gastroenteritis and function as superantigens that activate large numbers of T cells. The current method for detection of enterotoxins activity is an in vivo monkey or kitten bioassay; however, this method is not practical to test on a large number of samples.Several immunological assays have been developed however, but these assays cannot distinguish between active toxin which causes food poisoning and inactive toxin, which can bind antibody, but shows no toxicity. The current study demonstrates that short termex vivo exposure of primary naïve CD4+ T-cells or splenocytes to SEA induces differential expression and secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein. We used immunomagnetic beads coated with anti-SEA antibody to specifically isolate SEA from food. After the eluted toxin was added to the cells SEA biological activity was measured by quantifying TNF protein expression or secretion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is an important bacterium that can cause serious infections in human such as pneumonia and bacteremia. Rapid detection of this pathogen is crucial in food industries and clinical laboratories to control S. aureus food poisoning and human infections. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy equipped with a germanium attenuated total reflection accessory was used as a novel approach to identify S. aureus. A total of 17 reference strains belonging to 4 different species and 84 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus spp. were analyzed. After the cultivation of the strains, spectral collection and data preprocessing, the S. aureus isolates were identified by a two-step discrimination procedure. An internal validation and the related external validation were performed to demonstrate the discriminatory power and the quality of the discrimination models before the discrimination analysis. In the first step, 38 S. aureus isolates were correctly classified and the others were misidentified as Staphylococcus haemolyticus by hierarchical clustering analysis model using the first derivatives from the spectral range between 1,800 and 1,050/cm. In the second step, several classification/discrimination algorithms of soft-independent modeling of class analogy, principal component regression and partial least squares regression (PLSR) were applied to build models for differentiating S. aureus and S. haemolyticus. The results showed that 57 (98.3%) strains and 4 (100%) strains of S. aureus and S. haemolyticus could be correctly identified by PLSR. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a potential method for rapid discrimination, classification and identification of intact microbial cells. In this study, FTIR spectroscopy equipped with a germanium attenuated total reflection accessory, using hierarchical clustering analysis-partial least squares regression discrimination analysis, is a powerful means for routine identification of Staphylococcus aureus.

AB  - To aid in improvement of breeding programs for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats, breed differences over time were documented and genetic parameters were estimated. Data were from herds with ≥2 breeds (Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, or Toggenburg), but only purebred data were analyzed. Three kidding periods were examined: 1976 through 1984, 1985 through 1994, and 1995 through 2005. Univariate repeatability mixed models were used to estimate least squares means by kidding period-breed and genetic parameters for milk, fat, and protein yields, combined fat and protein yield, fat and protein percentages, protein:fat ratio, age at first kidding, and kidding interval. Trends across kidding periods were favorable for most yield traits for all breeds but generally unfavorable for reproduction traits. Saanens had the highest milk (1,063 to 1,125 kg) and protein yields (31 to 33 kg). Nubians had the highest fat yields (37 to 40 kg) and lowest milk yields (791 to 851 kg). Oberhaslis had the lowest fat (31 to 33 kg) and protein (23 to 27 kg) yields. Alpines had the largest increase in milk yield (7.4%); Oberhaslis had the largest increase in protein (17.4%) and combined fat and protein (13.2%) yields. Combined fat and protein yield was higher for Nubians, Saanens, and Alpines (65 to 72 kg) than for LaManchas, Toggenburgs, and Oberhaslis (53 to 67 kg). Nubians had the highest fat (4.7 to 4.8%) and protein (3.6 to 3.8%) percentages. Only Nubians increased in fat percentage (2.1%); protein percentage increased most for Toggenburgs (7.4%) and Alpines (7.1%). Protein:fat ratio was highest for Toggenburgs (0.84 to 0.89) and lowest for Nubians (0.76 to 0.81), but Nubians had the largest increase in protein:fat ratio (6.6%). Saanens were oldest at first kidding (509 to 589 d), and Toggenburgs and LaManchas generally were youngest (435 to 545 d); age at first kidding increased most for Alpines (21.8%) and LaManchas (21.6%). Kidding intervals generally were shorter for Oberhaslis, LaManchas, and Nubians (350 to 377 d) than for Toggenburgs, Alpines, and Saanens (373 to 387 d). Kidding interval increased most for Nubians (3.9%) and Saanens (3.8%) and decreased only for Oberhaslis (5.4%). Heritability estimates across breeds were 0.35 for milk and fat yields, 0.37 for protein yield and protein:fat ratio, 0.36 for combined fat and protein yield, 0.52 for fat percentage, 0.54 for protein percentage, 0.23 for age at first kidding, and 0.05 for kidding interval. Genetic selection within breed is feasible for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A new temperature-conditional shuttle vector, pBB80C, was constructed and utilized to generate an in-frame deletion in the leukotoxin structural gene of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1. Culture supernatants from the mutant contained no detectable cytotoxicity to BL-3 lymphocyte targets, and contained a new protein with an approximate molecular weight of 66 kDa which was reactive to anti-leukotoxin monoclonal antibody. No protein reactive to anti-LktA monoclonal antibody was detected at the molecular weight 100–105 kDa of native LktA. Calves vaccinated mucosally by top-dressing the live mutant onto feed, or parenterally by subcutaneous injection, were resistant to virulent challenge with the parent strain. Serologic antibody response, reduction in lung lesion, and reduction in pulmonary infectious load were greater among calves mucosally vaccinated than those which were vaccinated by injection.

AB  - Abstract: This paper summarizes key findings and identifies the main lessons learnt from a 5-year (2002–2008) coordinated research project (CRP) on “Assessing the effectiveness of soil conservation measures for sustainable watershed management and crop production using fallout radionuclides” (D1.50.08), organized and funded by the International Atomic Energy Agency through the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. The project brought together nineteen participants, from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Morocco, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America and Vietnam, involved in the use of nuclear techniques and, more particularly, fallout radionuclides (FRN) to assess the relative impacts of different soil conservation measures on soil erosion and land productivity. The overall objective of the CRP was to develop improved land use and management strategies for sustainable watershed management through effective soil erosion control practices, by the use of 137Cs (half-life of 30.2 years), 210Pbex (half-life of 22.3 years) and 7Be (half-life of 53.4 days) for measuring soil erosion over several spatial and temporal scales. The environmental conditions under which the different research teams applied the tools based on the use of fallout radionuclides varied considerably – a variety of climates, soils, topographies and land uses. Nevertheless, the achievements of the CRP, as reflected in this overview paper, demonstrate that fallout radionuclide-based techniques are powerful tools to assess soil erosion/deposition at several spatial and temporal scales in a wide range of environments, and offer potential to monitor soil quality. The success of the CRP has stimulated an interest in many IAEA Member States in the use of these methodologies to identify factors and practices that can enhance sustainable agriculture and minimize land degradation.

AB  - Abstract: Objective: To determine the extent to which the risk for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) increases in relation to a genetic risk score (GRS) that additively integrates the influence of high-risk alleles in nine documented single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for CHD, and to examine whether this GRS also predicts incident stroke. Methods: Genotypes at nine CHD-relevant SNPs were determined in 494 cases of incident CHD, 320 cases of incident stroke and 1345 unaffected controls drawn from the population-based Greek component of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition (EPIC) cohort. An additive GRS was calculated for each study participant by adding one unit for the presence of each high-risk allele multiplied by the estimated effect size of that allele in the discovery samples. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression. Results: The GRS was significantly associated with the incidence of CHD where the odds of CHD incidence in the highest quintile of the GRS were 1.74 times higher (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.25–2.43, p for trend=0.0004), compared to the lowest quintile. With respect to stroke, a weaker and non-significant positive association with GRS was apparent as the odds of stroke incidence in the highest quintile of the GRS were 1.36 times higher (95% CI=0.90–2.06, p for trend=0.188), compared to the lowest quintile. Conclusion: A GRS relying on nine documented “CHD-specific” SNPs is significantly predictive of CHD but it was not found to be statistically significantly associated with incident stroke.

AB  - Abstract: A novel cloning vector to aid in the construction of single copy β-galactosidase reporter systems for gene expression studies in lactose metabolizing Escherichia coli strains, including STEC, is described. The plasmid allows construction of translational fusions of cloned gene promoters to a short segment of E. coli lacZ. A selectable spectinomycin resistance marker flanked by a short lacI segment is positioned 5′ to the cloning site. PCR amplification using opposing primers complementary to the upstream lacI fragment and the downstream lacZ fragment generates a linear template suitable for integration using pRedET recombination. Integration of linear template derived from the recombinant plasmid into host strains replaces the entire native lacZ promoter and fuses the promoter of interest in-frame with the lacZ gene, thus simultaneously producing a single-copy, chromosomal reporter system and eliminating background lacZ expression. Studies comparing ahpC expression from a chromosomal fusion in the lac open with that on a plasmid in E. coli strain EDL933 are shown. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background--Several biomarkers have been individually associated with vascular brain injury, but no prior study has explored the simultaneous association of a biologically plausible panel of biomarkers with the incidence of stroke/transient ischemic attack and the prevalence of subclinical brain injury. Methods and Results--In 3127 stroke-free Framingham offspring (age, 59± 10 years; 54% female), we related a panel of 8 biomarkers assessing inflammation (C-reactive protein), hemostasis (D-dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1), neurohormonal activity (aldosterone-to-renin ratio, B-type natriuretic peptide, and N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptides), and endothelial function (homocysteine and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio) measured at the sixth examination (1995-1998) to risk of incident stroke/transient ischemic attack. In a subset of 1901 participants with available brain magnetic resonance imaging (1999-2005), we further related these biomarkers to total cerebral brain volume, covert brain infarcts, and large white-matter hyperintensity volume. During a median follow-up of 9.2 years, 130 participants experienced incident stroke/transient ischemic attack. In multivariable analyses adjusted for stroke risk factors, the biomarker panel was associated with incident stroke/transient ischemic attack and with total cerebral brain volume (f <0.05 for both) but not with covert brain infarcts or white-matter hyperintensity volume (P>0.05). In backward elimination analyses, higher log-B-type natriuretic peptide (hazard ratio, 1.39 per 1-SD increment; P=0.002) and log-urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (hazard ratio, 1.31 per 1-SD increment; P=0.004) were associated with increased risk of stroke/transient ischemic attack and improved risk prediction compared with the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile alone; when the <5%, 5% to 15%, or >15% 10-year risk category was used, the net reclassification index was 0.109 (f=0.037). Higher C-reactive protein (&bgr; = -0.21 per 1-SD increment; P=0.008), D-dimer (&bgr;=--0.18 per 1-SD increment; P=0.041), total homocysteine (&bgr;= --0.21 per 1-SD increment; P=0.005), and urinary albumin/cre-atinine ratio (&bgr;=--0.15 per 1-SD increment; P=0.042) were associated with lower total cerebral brain volume. Conclusion--In a middle-aged community sample, we identified multiple biomarkers that were associated with clinical and subclinical vascular brain injury and could improve risk stratification.

AB  - Abstract: The present manuscript reviews recent scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies of transition metal (TM) aluminide surfaces. It provides a general perspective on the contrast between Al atoms and TM atoms in STM imaging. A general trend is the much stronger bias dependence of TM atoms, or TM-rich regions of the surface. This dependence can be attenuated by the local chemical arrangements and environments. Al atoms can show a stronger bias dependence when their chemical environment, such as their immediate subsurface, is populated with TM. All this is well explained in light of combined results of STM and both theoretical and experimental electronic and crystallographic structure determinations. Since STM probes the Fermi surface, the electronic structure in the vicinity of the Fermi level (EF ) is essential for understanding contrast and bias dependence. Hence, partial density of states provides information about the TM d band position and width, s–p–d hybridization or interactions, or charge transfer between constituent elements. In addition, recent developments in STM image simulations are very interesting for elucidating chemical contrast at Al–TM alloy surfaces, and allow direct atomic identification, when the surface does not show too much disorder. Overall, we show that chemically-specific imaging is often possible at these surfaces. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - ObjectiveTo evaluate the associations between sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics and food label (FL) use in US adults.DesignData from the 1994–1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey were used. High socio-economic status (SES) was defined as >high school education and poverty–income ratio (PIR) >350 %, low SES as <high school level or PIR <130 %. Dietary intakes were assessed using 24 h recalls.SettingMetropolitan statistical area-central city, -suburban, and rural areas in the USA.SubjectsUS adults (n 2797; 1460 men, 1337 women) aged 20–64 years.ResultsApproximately 80 % of Americans reported using FL, including checking the nutrition panel, list of ingredients, short phrases, serving size, or health benefits. Only 26 % used all FL information. Compared with white women of higher SES, white men, black men and women with lower SES were 77–90 % less likely to use FL. Rural residents were 40 % less likely (OR = 0·60; 95 % CI 0·42, 0·86). Participants with good nutrition knowledge, perceptions and beliefs were twice as likely to check FL for nutrient content of foods (OR = 2·28; 95 % CI 1·53–3·40). Those who were unaware of diet–disease relationships were less likely to use FL (OR = 0·53; 95 % CI 0·32–0·85). Among overweight/obese Americans (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2), those who perceived their weight ‘about right’ were 51 % less likely to use FL than those perceiving themselves as overweight.ConclusionsMen, especially black men, women of low SES, rural residents and overweight Americans with inaccurate self-perception of body weight are less likely to use FL and should be targeted for increased intervention.

AB  - Marked phenotypic variation characterizes isolates of Toxoplasma gondii, a ubiquitous zoonotic parasite that serves as an important experimental model for studying apicomplexan parasites. Progress in identifying the heritable basis for clinically and epidemiologically significant differences requires a robust system for describing and interpreting evolutionary subdivisions in this prevalent pathogen. To develop such a system, we have examined more than 950 isolates collected from around the world and genotyped them using three independent sets of polymorphic DNA markers, sampling 30 loci distributed across all nuclear chromosomes as well as the plastid genome. Our studies reveal a biphasic pattern consisting of regions in the Northern Hemisphere where a few, highly clonal and abundant lineages predominate; elsewhere, and especially in portions of South America are characterized by a diverse assemblage of less common genotypes that show greater evidence of recombination. Clustering methods were used to organize the marked genetic diversity of 138 unique genotypes into 15 haplogroups that collectively define six major clades. Analysis of gene flow indicates that a small number of ancestral lineages gave rise to the existing diversity through a process of limited admixture. Identification of reference strains for these major groups should facilitate future studies on comparative genomics and identification of genes that control important biological phenotypes including pathogenesis and transmission.

AB  - Efficient lignin depolymerization is unique to the wood decay basidiomycetes, collectively referred to as white rot fungi. Phanerochaete chrysosporium simultaneously degrades lignin and cellulose, whereas the closely related species, Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, also depolymerizes lignin but may do so with relatively little cellulose degradation. To investigate the basis for selective ligninolysis, we conducted comparative genome analysis of C. subvermispora and P. chrysosporium. Genes encoding manganese peroxidase numbered 13 and five in C. subvermispora and P. chrysosporium, respectively. In addition, the C. subvermispora genome contains at least seven genes predicted to encode laccases, whereas the P. chrysosporium genome contains none. We also observed expansion of the number of C. subvermispora desaturase-encoding genes putatively involved in lipid metabolism. Microarray-based transcriptome analysis showed substantial up-regulation of several desaturase and MnP genes in wood-containing medium. MS identified MnP proteins in C. subvermispora culture filtrates, but none in P. chrysosporium cultures. These results support the importance of MnP and a lignin degradation mechanism whereby cleavage of the dominant nonphenolic structures is mediated by lipid peroxidation products. Two C. subvermispora genes were predicted to encode peroxidases structurally similar to P. chrysosporium lignin peroxidase and, following heterologous expression in Escherichia coli, the enzymes were shown to oxidize high redox potential substrates, but not Mn2+. Apart from oxidative lignin degradation, we also examined cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic systems in both fungi. In summary, the C. subvermispora genetic inventory and expression patterns exhibit increased oxidoreductase potential and diminished cellulolytic capability relative to P. chrysosporium.

AB  - To deploy a high-throughput genotyping platform in germplasm management, we designed and tested a custom OPA (Oligo Pool All), LSGermOPA, for assessing the genetic diversity and population structure of the USDA cultivated lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) germplasm collection using Illumina's GoldenGate assay. This OPA contains 384 EST (expressed sequence tag)-derived SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers selected from a large set of SNP markers experimentally validated and mapped by the Compositae Genome Project. Used for genotyping were DNA samples prepared from bulked leaves of five randomly-selected seedlings from each of 380 lettuce accessions. High-quality genotype data were obtained from 354 of the 384 SNPs. The reproducibility of automatic genotype calls was 99.8% as calculated from the four pairs of duplicated DNA samples in the assay. An unexpectedly high percentage of heterozygous genotypes at the polymorphic loci for most accessions indicated a high level of heterogeneity within accessions . Only 148 homogenous accessions, collectively comprising all five horticultural types, were used in subsequent analyses to demonstrate the usefulness of LSGermOPA. The results of phylogenetic relationship, population structure and genetic differentiation analyses were consistent with previous reports using other marker systems. This suggests that LSGermOPA is capable of revealing sufficient levels of polymorphism among lettuce cultivars and is appropriate for rapid assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in the lettuce germplasm collection. Challenges and strategies for effective genotyping and managing lettuce germplasm are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Dynamical tests have been applied to fiber optic data taken from a cold-flow circulating fluidized bed to characterize flow conditions, identify three characteristic scales (macro, meso, and micro), and understand the contribution these scales have on the raw data. The characteristic variable analyzed is the raw voltage signal obtained from a fiber-optic probe taken at various axial and radial positions under different loading conditions. These experiments were carried out with the bed material of cork particles with a medium particle size of 812μm. The characterization was accomplished through analysis of the distribution of the signal through the third and fourth moments of skewness and excess kurtosis. A generalization of the autocorrelation function known as the average mutual information function was analyzed by examining the function''s first minimum, identifying the point at which successive elements are no longer correlated. Further characterization was accomplished through the correlation dimension, a measure of the complexity of the chaotic attractor in deterministic chaos theory. Lastly, the amount of disorder of the system is described by a Kolmogorov-type entropy estimate. All six aforementioned tests were also implemented on ten levels of detail coefficients resulting from a discrete wavelet transformation of the same signal as used above. Through this analysis it is possible to identify and describe micro (particle level), meso (clustering or turbulence level), and macro (physical or dimensional level) length scales even though some literature considers these scales inseparable as is discussed. This investigation also used detail wavelet coefficients in conjunction with ANOVA to show which scales have the most impact on the raw signal resulting from local hydrodynamic conditions.

AB  - Abstract: Brush border membrane vesicles from whole Aedes aegypti larvae (AaBBMVw) are confirmed to be valid preparations for membrane transport studies. The Abdul-Rauf and Ellar method was used to isolate AaBBMVw that were frozen, stored for several months, transported to a distant site, thawed and used to study Na+-coupled, 3H-labeled, phenylalanine (Phe) uptake. The affinity for all components of the uptake was very high with half maximal values in the sub-micromolar range. By contrast a of 0.2mM and a of 26mM were calculated from Phe-induced electrical currents in Xenopus oocytes that were heterologously expressing the Anopheles gambiae symporter (co-transporter), AgNAT8, in a buffer with 98mM Na+. What accounts for the >1000-fold discrepancy in affinity for substrates between the BBMV and oocyte experiments? Is it because Ae. aegypti were used to isolate BBMVw whereas An. gambiae were used to transfect oocytes? More likely, it is because BBMVw were exposed to [Na+] in the micromolar range with the transporter(s) being surrounded by native lipids. By contrast, the oocyte measurements were made at [Na+] 100,000 times higher with AgNAT8 surrounded by foreign frog lipids. The results show that AaBBMVw are osmotically sealed; the time-course has a Na+-induced overshoot, the pH optimum is ∼7 and the K0.5 values for Phe and Na+ are very low. The transport is virtually unchanged when Na+ is replaced by K+ or Li+ but decreased by Rb+. This approach to resolving discrepancies between electrical data on solute transporters such as AgNAT8 that are over-expressed in oocytes and flux data on corresponding transporters that are highly expressed in native membrane vesicles, may serve as a model for similar studies that add membrane biochemistry to molecular biology in efforts to identify targets for the development of new methods to control disease-vector mosquitoes.

AB  - Background. The study goal was to determine the effect of vitamin D (VITD) supplementation on tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and C-telopeptide (CTX) in youth infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receiving and not receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Methods. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial enrolled HIV-infected youth 18-25 years based on stable treatment with cART containing TDF (n = 118) or no TDF (noTDF; n = 85), and randomized within those groups to vitamin D3, 50 000 IU (n = 102) or placebo (n = 101), administered at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. Outcomes included change in TRP, PTH, BAP, and CTX from baseline to week 12 by TDF/noTDF; and VITD/placebo. Results. At baseline, VITD and placebo groups were similar except those on TDF had lower TRP and higher PTH and CTX. At week 12, 95% in the VITD group had sufficient serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD; ≥20 ng/mL), increased from 48% at baseline, without change in placebo (P < .001). PTH decreased in the TDF group receiving VITD (P = .031) but not in the no TDF group receiving VITD, or either placebo group. The decrease in PTH with VITD in those on TDF occurred with insufficient and sufficient baseline 25-OHD (mean PTH change, 27.9 and 26.2 pg/mL; P = .031 and .053, respectively). Conclusions. In youth on TDF, vitamin D3 supplementation decreased PTH, regardless of baseline 25-OHD concentration [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wheat is marketed based on end-use quality characteristics and better knowledge of the underlying genetics of specific quality parameters is essential to enhance the breeding process. A set of 188 recombinant inbred lines from a 'Louise' by 'Penawawa' mapping population was grown in two crop years at two locations in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and data were collected on 17 end-use quality traits using established quality analysis protocols. Using an established genetic linkage map, composite interval mapping was used to identify QTL associated with 16 of the 17 quality traits. QTL were found on 13 of the 21 wheat chromosomes. A large number of QTL were located on chromosomes 3B and 4D and coincided with traits for milling quality and starch functionality. Chromosome 3B contained 10 QTL, which were localized to a 26.2 cM region. Chromosome 4D contained 7 QTL, all of which were located on an 18.8 cM region of this chromosome. The majority of the alleles for superior end-use quality were associated with the cultivar Louise. The identified QTL detected remained highly significant independent of grain yield and protein quantity. The identification of these QTL for end-use quality gives key insight into the relationship and complexity of end-use quality traits. It also improves our understanding of these relationships, thereby allowing plant breeders to make valuable gains from selection for these important traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is one of the most common mitochondrial disorders. Although the pathogenesis of stroke-like episodes remains unclear, it has been suggested that mitochondrial proliferation may result in endothelial dysfunction and decreased nitric oxide (NO) availability leading to cerebral ischemic events. This study aimed to assess NO production in subjects with MELAS syndrome and the effect of the NO precursors arginine and citrulline. Using stable isotope infusion techniques, we assessed arginine, citrulline, and NO metabolism in control subjects and subjects with MELAS syndrome before and after arginine or citrulline supplementation. The results showed that subjects with MELAS had lower NO synthesis rate associated with reduced citrulline flux, de novo arginine synthesis rate, and plasma arginine and citrulline concentrations, and higher plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) concentration and arginine clearance. We conclude that the observed impaired NO production is due to multiple factors including elevated ADMA, higher arginine clearance, and, most importantly, decreased de novo arginine synthesis secondary to decreased citrulline availability. Arginine and, to a greater extent, citrulline supplementation increased the de novo arginine synthesis rate, the plasma concentrations and flux of arginine and citrulline, and NO production. De novo arginine synthesis increased markedly with citrulline supplementation, explaining the superior efficacy of citrulline in increasing NO production. The improvement in NO production with arginine or citrulline supplementation supports their use in MELAS and suggests that citrulline may have a better therapeutic effect than arginine. These findings can have a broader relevance for other disorders marked by perturbations in NO metabolism. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The use of engineered nanoparticles in food and pharmaceuticals is expected to increase, but the impact of chronic oral exposure to nanoparticles on human health remains unknown. Here, we show that chronic and acute oral exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles can influence iron uptake and iron transport in an in vitro model of the intestinal epithelium and an in vivo chicken intestinal loop model. Intestinal cells that are exposed to high doses of nanoparticles showed increased iron transport due to nanoparticle disruption of the cell membrane. Chickens acutely exposed to carboxylated particles (50 nm in diameter) had a lower iron absorption than unexposed or chronically exposed birds. Chronic exposure caused remodelling of the intestinal villi, which increased the surface area available for iron absorption. The agreement between the in vitro and in vivo results suggests that our in vitro intestinal epithelium model is potentially useful for toxicology studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To investigate the resuscitation of acid-injured Salmonella enterica in selected enrichment broths, in apple juice and on cut surfaces of apple and cucumber slices. Methods and Results:  Following exposure to 2·4% acetic acid for 7 min, S. enterica (serovars Mbandaka, Chester and Newport) cells were used to inoculate enrichment broths, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), apple juice and fruit slices. Injured Salmonella cells resuscitated and regained the ability to form colonies on selective agar (Xylose-Lysine-Tergitol® 4) if they were incubated in lactose broth (LB), universal pre-enrichment broth (UPB) or buffered peptone water (BPW), but not in tetrathionate broth, PBS or apple juice. The resuscitation occurred at a significantly ( P > 0·05) faster rate in UPB than in LB or BPW. The resuscitation also occurred on the surfaces of fresh-cut cucumber at 20°C, but not at 4°C. Conclusions:  Acid-injured Salmonella cells resuscitated in nonselective enrichment broths at different rates, but not in selective enrichment broth, apple juice, PBS or on fresh-cut apple. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Pre-enrichment of food samples in UPB prior to selective enrichment is recommended. Injured Salmonella cells have the ability to resuscitate on fresh-cut surfaces of cucumber when stored at abusive temperatures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) belongs to the monocot family Asparagaceae in the order Asparagales. Onion (Allium cepa L.) and Asparagus officinalis are 2 of the most economically important plants of the core Asparagales, a well supported monophyletic group within the Asparagales. Coding regions in onion have lower GC contents than the grasses. We compared the GC content of 3374 unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from A. officinalis with Lycorislongituba and onion (both members of the core Asparagales), Acorusamericanus (sister to all other monocots), the grasses, and Arabidopsis. Although ESTs in A. officinalis and Acorus had a higher average GC content than Arabidopsis,Lycoris, and onion, all were clearly lower than the grasses. The Asparagaceae have the smallest nuclear genomes among all plants in the core Asparagales, which typically have huge genomes. Within the Asparagaceae, European Asparagus species have approximately twice the nuclear DNA of that of southern African Asparagus species. We cloned and sequenced 20 genomic amplicons from European A. officinalis and the southern African species Asparagus plumosus and observed no clear evidence for a recent genome doubling in A. officinalis relative to A. plumosus. These results indicate that members of the genus Asparagus with smaller genomes may be useful genomic models for plants in the core Asparagales. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - L'asperge comestible (Asparagus officinalis L.) appartient à la famille monocotylédone des Asparagacées au sein de l'ordre des Asparagales. L'oignon (Allium cepa L.) et l'A. officinalis sont 2 des plantes les plus importantes sur le plan économique au sein des Asparagales nucléaires, 1 groupe monophylétique bien supporté au sein des Asparagales. Les régions codantes chez l'oignon ont un contenu en GC plus faible que chez les graminées. Les auteurs ont comparé le contenu en GC de 3374 EST (étiquettes de séquences exprimées) uniques de l'A. officinalis avec ceux observés chez le Lycorislongituba et l'oignon (2 autres membres des Asparagales nucléaires), l'Acorusamericanus (apparentée à toutes les autres monocotylédones), les graminées et l'Arabidopsis. Bien que les EST chez l'A. officinalis et l'Acorus présentaient un contenu en GC plus élevé que chez l'Arabidopsis, le Lycoris et l'oignon, le contenu en GC chez tous ceux-ci étaient nettement plus faible que chez les graminées. Les Asparagacées ont les plus petits génomes nucléaires au sein des plantes appartenant aux Asparagales nucléaires, lesquelles ont typiquement d'énormes génomes. Au sein des Asparagacées, les espèces européennes de l'Asparagus ont environ 2 fois plus d'ADN nucléaire que les espèces d'Afrique méridionale. Les auteurs ont cloné et séquencé 20 amplicons génomiques chez des A. officinalis européennes et chez l'espèce africaine Asparagus plumosus et les auteurs n'ont observé aucune évidence d'un doublement génomique chez l'A. officinalis par rapport à l'A. plumosus. Ces résultats montrent que les membres du genre Asparagus qui ont un génome plus petit pourraient constituer des modèles génomiques utiles pour l'études des Asparagales nucléaires.

AB  - 1.  We incorporated spatial data on swift foxes ( Vulpes velox) with genetic analysis to assess the influence of relatedness between individuals on their social and spatial ecology. We recorded the space use patterns of 188 radio-collared swift foxes in south-eastern Colorado from January 1997 to December 2000. One hundred and sixty-seven foxes were also genotyped at 11 microsatellite DNA loci and the degree of relatedness between individuals was estimated. 2.  We described the genetic structure of the population by examining the relatedness of neighbours and the relationship between the spatial and genetic distance of all individuals. We found that close kin appeared to cluster within the population. Neighbours were significantly more related (mean R = 0·089 ± 0·01) than non-neighbours (mean R = 0·003 ± 0·01; randomization test, P < 0·0002). Female clusters were more extensive than male clusters. 3.  The degree of genetic relatedness among foxes was useful in explaining why foxes tolerated encroachment of their home ranges by neighbours; the more closely related neighbours were, the more home-range overlap they tolerated (Mantel test, P = 0·0004). Foxes did not appear to orientate their home ranges to avoid neighbours and home ranges overlapped by as much as 54·77% (x = 14·13% ± 0·41). Neighbours also occasionally engaged in concurrent den sharing. 4.  Relatedness influenced the likelihood that an individual would inherit a newly vacated home range, with a mean relatedness of range inheritors to previous owners of 0·333 ± 0·074. Thus, the genetic structure of the population and interactions between kin were interrelated to space-use patterns and social ecology of the swift fox. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Image analysis (IA) was used to determine the areas and circumferences of clusters of early somatic embryos (ESEs) of the Norway spruce ( Picea abies /L./Karst.). Results obtained from IA were compared with the fresh weights of the ESE clusters and their esterase activities. The areas of the ESE clusters correlated well with both the increases in fresh weight ( R 2=0.99) of the ESEs and their esterase activities ( R 2=0.99). In addition, we studied the viability of the ESEs, which was determined by (a) double staining with fluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide (the resulting fluorescence was quantified by IA) and (b) determining esterase activity using a spectrofluorimetric detector. The results obtained with IA and esterase assay were comparable (the deviation between the tangents of the bisectors was 6.4%). IA was also used to study the effect of Pb–EDTA chelate (50, 250 and 500 μM) on the viability of the ESEs and on the growth of clusters. The presence of Pb–EDTA markedly slowed the growth of ESEs clusters (by more than 65% with 250 μM of Pb–EDTA after 288 h of cultivation) and decreased the viability of ESEs (by more than 30% with 500 μM of Pb–EDTA after 288 h of cultivation). The lead concentration in the ESEs was determined by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry and increased with the external lead concentration and the time of treatment from 100 to 600 pg Pb/100 mg of fresh weight of ESEs. Glutathione is a diagnostic marker of the influence of Pb–EDTA on ESEs and its content was determined by high–performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The glutathione content changed linearly with treatment time and the applied external lead concentration. The highest glutathione content was obtained at 250 μM of Pb–EDTA after 192 h of cultivation.

AB  - Aims:  This study compared the chemical, physical and bacterial composition of circulated and stagnant dairy wastewaters. Methods and Results:  Samples taken from circulated and stagnant wastewater lagoons, over a 1-year period, were analysed for 10 chemical (total N, NH3, NO3, NO2, Na, Ca, HCO3, Fe, P and K) and six physical (biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH and sodium absorption ratio) parameters and were found to be similar. The 16S rDNA genes from the samples were amplified, cloned and BLAST analysed. In total, 996 stagnant and 1052 circulated wastewater derived sequences were obtained, comprising 294 and 362 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from the circulated and stagnant wastewaters respectively. Coverage estimates of the OTUs identified were 72·1% for the stagnant, and 63·6% for the circulated wastewater libraries. The greatest difference between the two wastewaters was a c. sixfold greater number of sequences representative of the family Chromatiaceae in the circulated wastewater derived library and a c. fivefold greater number of sequences representative of the phylum Chloroflexi in the stagnant wastewater derived library. Conclusions:  Circulation of dairy wastewater does not affect any of the chemical or physical parameters tested; however, circulation does alter the bacterial community structure. Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study provides evidence that circulation of dairy wastewater promotes the growth of bacteria within the family Chromatiaceae and that stagnant systems promote the growth of the phylum Chloroflexi.

AB  - A mini-dome bioassay was developed to study pathogenicity of Ascochyta rabiei and relative resistance of chickpea ( Cicer arietanium). It was determined that the best condition for assaying pathogenicity of A. rabiei was to use 2 × 105 spores/ml as inoculum and to maintain a leaf wetness period of 24 h under mini-domes at a temperature between 16 and 22°C. This mini-dome pathogenicity assay was used to determine relative resistance of six chickpea cultivars (cvs) to isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei. Grafting was employed to detect any translocated factors produced in the chickpea plant that mediate disease response, which could help elucidate possible resistance mechanisms to Ascochyta blight. The six chickpea cv. were grafted in all possible scion–rootstock combinations, and then inoculated with isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei using the mini-dome technique. Results showed that self-grafted-resistant plants remained resistant and self-grafted-susceptible plants stayed susceptible, indicating the grafting procedure did not alter host response to infection by A. rabiei. Susceptible scions always exhibited high and similar levels of disease severity regardless of rootstock genotypes, and resistant scions always showed low and similar levels of disease severity when they were grafted onto any of the six rootstock genotypes. Orthogonal contrasts showed that scion genotypes determined disease phenotype, and that rootstock genotypes had no contribution to disease phenotype of the scions. The pathogenicity assay did not detect any translocated disease-mediating agents responsible for susceptibility or resistance in chickpea. Disease phenotypes of Ascochyta blight of chickpea were conditioned locally by scion genotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify personal, behavioral, and environmental factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among 10- to 13-year-old low-income black American youth in the lower Mississippi Delta region. Social Cognitive Theory, along with other theoretical constructs, guided focus group questions and analysis. Design: A qualitative study using focus group methodology. Setting: Enrichment program of a sports summer camp for low-income youth. Participants: Forty-two adolescents (21 female, 21 male) participated in 6 focus groups. Main Outcome Measures: Personal, behavioral, and environmental influences on fruit and vegetable consumption. Analysis: Content analysis methods were used by 3 independent reviewers to identify themes within the focus group transcripts. Themes were summarized and then categorized into the 3 domains of Social Cognitive Theory. Results: The major themes were taste, availability, extended family influence, visual proof of the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, and the need for gender-specific behavioral skills. Conclusions and Implications: This formative research will aid in the development of a culturally relevant nutrition intervention for low-income black American adolescents in the lower Mississippi Delta region. The results indicate that this group is more likely to respond to interventions that use role models who can provide proof that fruit and vegetable consumption is related to improved health.

AB  - v.s. panangala, v.l. van santen, c.a. shoemaker and p.h. klesius. 2005. To analyse interspecies and intraspecies differences based on the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) sequences of the fish pathogens Edwardsiella ictaluri and Edwardsiella tarda. The 16S-23S rRNA spacer regions of 19 Edw. ictaluri and four Edw. tarda isolates from four geographical regions were amplified by PCR with primers complementary to conserved sequences within the flanking 16S–23S rRNA coding sequences. Two products were generated from all isolates, without interspecies or intraspecific size polymorphisms. Sequence analysis of the amplified fragments revealed a smaller ISR of 350 bp, which contained a gene for tRNAGlu, and a larger ISR of 441 bp, which contained genes for tRNAIle and tRNAAla. The sequences of the smaller ISR of different Edw. ictaluri isolates were essentially identical to each other. Partial sequences of larger ISR from several Edw. ictaluri isolates also revealed no differences from the one complete Edw. ictaluri large ISR sequence obtained. The sequences of the smaller ISR of Edw. tarda were 97% identical to the Edw. ictaluri smaller ISR and the larger ISR were 96–98% identical to the Edw. ictaluri larger ISR sequence. The Edw. tarda isolates displayed limited ISR sequence heterogeneity, with ≥97% sequence identity among isolates for both small and large ISR. There is a high degree of size and sequence similarity of 16S–23S ISR both among isolates within Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda species and between the two species. Our results confirm a close genetic relationship between Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda and the relative homogeneity of Edw. ictaluri isolates compared with Edw. tarda isolates. Because no differences were found in ISR sequences among Edw. ictaluri isolates, sequence analysis of the ISR will not be useful to distinguish isolates of Edw. ictaluri. However, we identified restriction sites that differ between ISR sequences of Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda, which will be useful in distinguishing the two species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cellular receptor of subgroup B avian leukosis virus (ALVB) is encoded by a gene at the tumour virus B (TVB) locus. TVB alleles encode specific receptors permitting infection by exogenous ALVB or avian leukosis virus subgroup D (ALVD) as well as endogenous avian leukosis virus subgroup E (ALVE), and thus susceptibility is dominant to resistance. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms at the TVB locus have been reported distinguishing three TVB alleles (TVB*S1,. TVB*S3 and TVB*R). We have developed a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELP) assay using the two single nucleotide polymorphisms to define three observed allelic haplotypes and to identify the six possible TVB genotypes consisting of the three haplotypes in defined laboratory strains of chickens. One additional potential allelic haplotype and four genotypes were also briefly discussed. Chickens from parents heterozygous for different TVB alleles were challenged with Rous sarcoma viruses of subgroup ALVB  and ALVE to induce wing-web tumours. Tumour incidences were evaluated between chickens of the genotypes determined with this newly developed PCR-RFLP assay. Importantly, chickens typed with this assay as TVB*S3/*S3 were resistant to infection by ALVE only, and those TVB*R/*R were resistant to both ALVE and ALVB. Furthermore, a vast majority of chickens with the susceptible TVB*S1/- genotypes developed a tumour. This PCR-RFLP assay enables a relatively rapid assessment of all six anticipated TPB genotypes in experimental strains of chickens undergoing segregation for TVB*S1, TVB*S3, and TVB*R alleles. This non-infectious assay should be further evaluated for the capacity to select and breed commercial chickens for genetic resistance to infections by ALVB, ALVD and ALVE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 1999 and 2000, 3 state health departments reported 4 outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness due to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in employees, clients, and client animals from 3 companion animal veterinary clinics and 1 animal shelter. More than 45 persons and companion animals became ill. Four independent investigations resulted in the testing of 19 human samples and >200 animal samples; 18 persons and 36 animals were culture-positive for S. Typhimurium. One outbreak was due to multidrug-resistant S, Typhimurium R-type ACKSSuT, while the other 3 were due to multidrug-resistant S, Typhimurium R-type ACSSuT DT104. This report documents nosocomial transmission of S. Typhimurium and demonstrates that companion animal facilities may serve as foci of transmission for salmonellae between animals and humans if adequate precautions are not followed.

AB  - j.e. wells, j.t. yen and d.n. miller. 2005. To determine the possible effects of inclusion of dried skim milk (DSM) in swine diets on indigenous Lactobacillus spp. and Escherichia coli, and its potential for controlling pathogen shedding and affect animal growth in growing-finishing swine. Animals were fed over three dietary phases to match production needs from age 10–14 weeks, 14–18 weeks and 18–22 weeks. For each feeding phase, diets were formulated to contain 0 or 10% DSM (balanced for metabolizable energy and true ileal digestible amino acids). Animals were weighed every 2 weeks and faecal samples were collected from 40 animals (20 with DSM and 20 without DSM) at week 10 (d 0 on diets), 14, 18 and 22 of age, and were analysed for Lactobacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E. coli O157:H7. At the start of the study (week 10), faecal bacterial counts (log10 CFU g−1 faeces) were 9·55, 7·26, 7·01 and 6·93 for Lactobacillus, Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli populations respectively. The Enterobacteriaceae, coliform and E. coli populations decreased through week 14 and 18, but were higher in animals fed with the DSM diet compared with the basal diet without DSM. The Lactobacillus populations at weeks 14 and 18 were lower in the animals fed the diet without DSM, whereas feeding DSM maintained the Lactobacillus counts from week 10. At week 22, populations of Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli were >week 18 for the animals fed the diet without DSM, less change was observed with the feeding of DSM, and no differences between the diets were observed at week 22. However, in week 22 the animal gain was positively correlated with Lactobacillus numbers and negatively correlated with E. coli numbers. Subtraction of the E. coli population (log10) from the Lactobacillus population (log10) yielded a positive value termed ‘effective’ Lactobacillus that correlated well with animal gain and may better define a beneficial function in the intestine. Salmonella were detected in over 60% of the animals at week 10 and 14, and <20% at week 18 and 22. Campylobacter were detected rarely at weeks 10, 14 and 18, but were found in 25% of the animals at week 22. The DSM did not affect Salmonella or Campylobacter shedding, but examination of individual animals over the entire experiment indicated that fewer recurring incidences of Salmonella shedding occurred in animals that maintained higher Lactobacillus. In addition, at week 22, Salmonella and Campylobacter shedding was associated with lower levels of effective Lactobacillus and lower animal weight gains. The DSM did not directly affect the animal performance or pathogen shedding via the Lactobacillus spp. population at any phase of production. However, analysis of data from all animals revealed that faecal Lactobacillus affected Salmonella shedding and in the finishing phase, animal growth and pathogen shedding also were affected, as reflected by the ‘effective’ Lactobacillus-associated observations. In the swine intestine, any benefits from gastrointestinal Lactobacillus may be compromized by the E. coli population, and this antagonism may explain responses observed with prebiotics or probiotics in some swine.

AB  - This study implements and tests a mathematical programming model to estimate interregional, interindustry transaction flows in a national system of economic regions based on an interregional accounting framework and initial information of interregional shipments. A national input–output (IO) table, regional data on gross output, value-added, exports, imports, and final demand at sector level are used as inputs to generate an interregional IO account that reconciles regional economic statistics and interregional transaction data. The model is tested using data from a multiregional global IO database and shows remarkable capacity to discover true interregional trade patterns from highly distorted initial estimates.

AB  - The inhibitory effects of tropospheric O3 on crop photosynthesis, growth, and yield have been documented in numerous studies over the past 35 years. In large part, the results of this research supported governmental regulations designed to limit tropospheric O3 levels to concentrations that affected crop production at economically acceptable levels. Recent studies have brought into question the efficacy of these concentration-based O3 standards compared with flux-based approaches that incorporate O3 uptake along with environmental and biotic factors that influence plant responses. In addition, recent studies provide insight into the biochemical mechanisms of O3 injury to plants. Current interpretations suggest that upon entry into the leaf intercellular space O3 rapidly reacts with components of the leaf apoplast to initiate a complex set of responses involving the formation of toxic metabolites and generation of plant defence responses that constitute variably effective countermeasures. Plant species and cultivars exhibit a range of sensitivity to O3, evident as heritable characteristics, that must reflect identifiable biochemical and molecular processes that affect sensitivity to O3 injury, although their exact makeup remains unclear. Ozone clearly impairs photosynthetic processes, which might include the effects on electron transport and guard cell homeostasis as well as the better-documented effects on carbon fixation via decreased Rubisco activity. Translocation of photosynthate could be inhibited by O3 exposure as well. Further, the influence of tropospheric O3 needs to be considered when assessing potential effects of rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 on crop production. Advances in O3 flux modelling and improved understanding of biochemical and molecular effects of O3 on photosynthetic gas exchange and plant defence processes are leading to more complete, integrated assessments of O3 impacts on crop physiology that continue to support the rationale for maintaining or improving current O3 air quality standards as well as providing a basis for development of more O3-tolerant crop lines.

AB  - Phaeosphaeria avenaria f.sp. avenaria (Paa), the causal agent of stagonospora leaf blotch in oats, produces a glycosyl hydrolase family 3 enzyme, β-glucosidase, which is responsible for detoxification of steroidal avenacosides in oat leaves, but is not essential for pathogenicity. For a comparative genetic relatedness study, a Paa-like β-glucosidase gene (bgl1) was PCR-amplified from Phaeosphaeria nodorum and P. avenaria f.sp. triticea, and Phaeosphaeria spp. from dallis grass (Paspalum dilatatum) (isolate S-93-48) and rye (Secale cereale) (isolate Sn48-1). Different sizes of bgl1 gene coding sequences ranging from 3018 to 3023 bp were determined. The bgl1 gene structure in these Phaeosphaeria species was identical to that of Paa and contained four exons and three introns. Nucleotide variations occurring in introns 1 and 2 of the bgl1 gene divided wheat-biotype P. nodorum into four groups. Two 12-bp-long direct sequence repeats (5'-TCA/G ACT GGT TT/CA/G) were found in the promoter region of the bgl1 gene in Phaeosphaeria species; only one repeat was present in the two P. avenaria f.sp. triticea isolates ATCC26370 and ATCC26377 (Pat2) from foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum) and some homothallic P. avenaria f.sp. triticea isolates (Pat1). With sequence similarities in the noncoding internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear rDNA, the partial gpd gene fragment containing the intron 4, and the full-length bgl1 gene, five Phaeosphaeria isolates (5413, 1919WRS, 1920WRS, 1921WRS, Sa37-2) from oat (Avena sativa) were molecularly determined to be Paa. Two oat isolates (Sa38-1 and Sa39-2) from Poland appeared to be Pat1. The results suggest that classification of two Phaeosphaeria avenaria formae speciales based on host specificity should be re-evaluated. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le Phaeosphaeria avenaria f.sp. avenaria (Paa), agent causal de la tache ovoïde à stogonospora chez l'avoine, produit une enzyme de la famille 3 des hydrolases du glucosyl, la β-glucosidase, laquelle est responsable de la détoxification des avenacosides stéroïdiens dans les feuilles d'avoine, mais n'est pas essentielle pour la pathogénicité. Dans le cadre d'une étude comparative sur la parenté génétique, les auteurs ont amplifié par PCR, le gène de la β-glucosidase de type Paa (bgl1) obtenu à partir du Phaeosphaeria nodorum et du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea, et du Phaeosphaeria spp. provenant de la digitaire à larges feuilles (Paspalum dilatatum) (isolat S-93-48) et du seigle (Secale cereale) (isolat Sn48-1). Ils ont déterminé des séquences codantes de différentes dimensions du gène bgl1, allant de 3018 à 3023 pb. Chez ces espèces de Phaeosphaeria, la structure du gène bgl1 est identique au Paa et contient quatre exons et trois introns. La variation des nucléotides présents chez les introns 1 et 2 du gène bgl1 permet de diviser le P. nodorum du biotype-blé en quatre groupes. On retrouve deux répétitions d'une longue séquence directe de 12 pb (5′-TCA/G ACT GGT TT/CA/G) dans la région du promoteur du gène bgl1, chez les espèces du genre Phaeosphaeria; une seule répétition est présente chez les deux isolats du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea (ATCC26370 et ATCC26377 (Pat 2), provenant de l'orge agréable (Hordeum jubatum) et de quelques isolats homothalliques du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea (Pat 1). À partir des similarités des séquences de la région non-codante de l'espaceur interne transcrit du rADN nucléique, du fragment partiel du gène gpd contenant l'intron 4, et de l'ensemble du gène bgl1, on a pu déterminer, au plan moléculaire, que cinq isolats provenant de l'avoine (5413, 1919WRS, 1921WRS, Sa37-2) sont des Paa. Deux isolats de l'avoine (Avena sativa) semblent être des Pat1. Les résultats suggèrent que la classification des deux formes spéciales du Phaeosphaeria avenaria, basée sur la spécificité de l'hôte, devrait être réévaluée.

AB  - This paper examines housing demand using an integrated approach that combines residential decisions about choices of community in the Southern Appalachian region with the application of a Geographical Information System (GIS). The empirical model infers a distinctive heterogeneity in the characteristics of community choices. The results also indicate that socio-economic motives strongly affect urban housing demands while environmental amenities affect those of rural housing demand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This review will focus on the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying defense responses of roots to fungal pathogens. Soil-borne pathogens, including Phytophthora, Pythium, Fusarium, and Bipolaris, represent major sources of biotic stress in the rhizosphere and roots of plants. Molecular recognition and signaling leading to effective resistance has been demonstrated to occur between host and Phytophthora, or Pythium. The hypersensitive response and apoptotic cell death, two oxidative processes that limit biotrophic pathogens, generally act to exacerbate disease symptoms induced by necrotrophic organisms. Although pathogenesis-related proteins can be expressed in roots during pathogen challenge, salicylic acid has not been implicated in root-mediated interactions. Jasmonic acid and ethylene have been found to mediate parallel as well as synergistic pathways that confer partial tolerance to necrotrophic pathogens, as well as induced systemic resistance to root and foliar pathogens. Genomics approaches are revealing new networks of defense-signaling pathways, and have the potential of elucidating those pathways that are important in root-defense responses.

AB  - Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 is a plant commensal bacterium that inhabits the rhizosphere and produces secondary metabolites that suppress soilborne plant pathogens. The complete sequence of the 7.1-Mb Pf-5 genome was determined. We analyzed repeat sequences to identify genomic islands that, together with other approaches, suggested P. fluorescens Pf-5's recent lateral acquisitions include six secondary metabolite gene clusters, seven phage regions and a mobile genomic island. We identified various features that contribute to its commensal lifestyle on plants, including broad catabolic and transport capabilities for utilizing plant-derived compounds, the apparent ability to use a diversity of iron siderophores, detoxification systems to protect from oxidative stress, and the lack of a type III secretion system and toxins found in related pathogens. In addition to six known secondary metabolites produced by P. fluorescens Pf-5, three novel secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters were also identified that may contribute to the biocontrol properties of P. fluorescens Pf-5.

AB  - From 1999?–?2003, the hygiene of 1061 environmental surfaces from shopping, daycare, and office environments, personal items, and miscellaneous activities (i.e., gymnasiums, airports, movie theaters, restaurants, etc.), in four US cities, was monitored. Samples were analyzed for fecal and total coliform bacteria, protein, and biochemical markers. Biochemical markers, i.e., hemoglobin (blood marker), amylase (mucus, saliva, sweat, and urine marker), and urea (urine and sweat marker) were detected on 3% (26/801); 15% (120/801), and 6% (48/801) of the surfaces, respectively. Protein (general hygiene marker) levels ??200?µg/10?cm 2 were present on 26% (200/801) of the surfaces tested. Surfaces from children's playground equipment and daycare centers were the most frequently contaminated (biochemical markers on 36%; 15/42 and 46%; 25/54, respectively). Surfaces from the shopping, miscellaneous activities, and office environments were positive for biochemical markers with a frequency of 21% (69/333), 21% (66/308), and 11% (12/105), respectively). Sixty samples were analyzed for biochemical markers and bacteria. Total and fecal coliforms were detected on 20% (12/60) and 7% (4/60) of the surfaces, respectively. Half and one-third of the sites positive for biochemical markers were also positive for total and fecal coliforms, respectively. Artificial contamination of public surfaces with an invisible fluorescent tracer showed that contamination from outside surfaces was transferred to 86% (30/35) of exposed individual's hands and 82% (29/35) tracked the tracer to their home or personal belongings hours later. Results provide information on the relative hygiene of commonly encountered public surfaces and aid in the identification of priority environments where contaminant occurrence and risk of exposure may be greatest. Children's playground equipment is identified as a priority surface for additional research on the occurrence of and potential exposure to infectious disease causing agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We present a new soil respiration model, describe a formal model testing procedure, and compare our model with five alternative models using an extensive data set of observed soil respiration. Gas flux data from rangeland soils that included a large number of measurements at low temperatures were used to model soil CO2 emissions as a function of soil temperature and water content. Our arctangent temperature function predicts that Q10 values vary inversely with temperature and that CO2 fluxes are significant below 0 °C. Independent data representing a broad range of ecosystems and temperature values were used for model testing. The effects of plant phenology, differences in substrate availability among sites, and water limitation were accounted for so that the temperature equations could be fairly evaluated. Four of the six tested models did equally well at simulating the observed soil CO2 respiration rates. However, the arctangent variable Q10 model agreed closely with observed Q10 values over a wide range of temperatures ( r2 = 0.94) and was superior to published variable Q10 equations using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). The arctangent temperature equation explained 16–85% of the observed intra-site variability in CO2 flux rates. Including a water stress factor yielded a stronger correlation than temperature alone only in the dryland soils. The observed change in Q10 with increasing temperature was the same for data sets that included only heterotrophic respiration and data sets that included both heterotrophic and autotrophic respiration.

AB  - Soil CO2 efflux is a major component of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of forest systems. Combining data from multiple researchers for larger-scale modeling and assessment will only be valid if their methodologies provide directly comparable results. We conducted a series of laboratory and field tests to assess the presence and magnitude of soil CO2 efflux measurement system × environment interactions. Laboratory comparisons were made with a dynamic, steady-state CO2 flux generation apparatus, wherein gas diffusion drove flux without creating pressure differentials through three artificial soil media of varying air-filled porosity. Under these conditions, two closed systems (Li-6400-09 and SRC-1) exhibited errors that were dependent on physical properties of the artificial media. The open system (ACES) underestimated CO2 flux. However, unlike the two other systems, the ACES results could be corrected with a single calibration equation that was unaffected by physical differences in artificial media. Both scale and rank changes occurred among the measurement systems across four sites. Our work clearly shows that soil CO2 efflux measurement system × environment interactions do occur and can substantially impact estimates of soil CO2 efflux. Until reliable calibration techniques are developed and applied, such interactions make direct comparison of published rates, and C budgets estimated using such rates, difficult.

AB  - This paper reviews the role of soil respiration in determining ecosystem carbon balance, and the conceptual basis for measuring and modeling soil respiration. We developed it to provide background and context for this special issue on soil respiration and to synthesize the presentations and discussions at the workshop. Soil respiration is the largest component of ecosystem respiration. Because autotrophic and heterotrophic activity belowground is controlled by substrate availability, soil respiration is strongly linked to plant metabolism, photosynthesis and litterfall. This link dominates both base rates and short-term fluctuations in soil respiration and suggests many roles for soil respiration as an indicator of ecosystem metabolism. However, the strong links between above and belowground processes complicate using soil respiration to understand changes in ecosystem carbon storage. Root and associated mycorrhizal respiration produce roughly half of soil respiration, with much of the remainder derived from decomposition of recently produced root and leaf litter. Changes in the carbon stored in the soil generally contribute little to soil respiration, but these changes, together with shifts in plant carbon allocation, determine ecosystem carbon storage belowground and its exchange with the atmosphere. Identifying the small signal from changes in large, slow carbon pools in flux dominated by decomposition of recent material and autotrophic and mycorrhizal respiration is a significant challenge. A mechanistic understanding of the belowground carbon cycle and of the response of different components to the environment will aid in identifying this signal. Our workshop identified information needs to help build that understanding: (1) the mechanisms that control the coupling of canopy and belowground processes; (2) the responses of root and heterotrophic respiration to environment; (3) plant carbon allocation patterns, particularly in different forest developmental stages, and in response to treatments (warming, CO2, nitrogen additions); and (4) coupling measurements of soil respiration with aboveground processes and changes in soil carbon. Multi-factor experiments need to be sufficiently long to allow the systems to adjust to the treatments. New technologies will be necessary to reduce uncertainty in estimates of carbon allocation, soil carbon pool sizes, and different responses of roots and microbes to environmental conditions.

AB  - Quantitative reflectance spectroscopy offers an alternative to traditional analytical methods for the determination of the chemical composition of a sample. The objective of this study was to develop a set of spectroscopic calibrations to determine the chemical composition (nutrients, carbon, and fiber constituents, determined using standard wet lab methods) of dried conifer foliage samples (N = 72), and to compare the predictive ability of calibrations based on three different spectral regions: visible and shortwave near infrared (VIS–sNIR, 400- to 1100-nm wavelengths), near infrared (NIR, 1100- to 2500-nm wavelengths), and mid infrared (MIR, 2500- to 25 000-nm wavelengths). To date, most quantitative reflectance spectroscopy has been based on the VIS–sNIR–NIR, and the ability of MIR calibrations to predict the composition of tree foliage has not been tested. VIS–sNIR calibrations were clearly inferior to those based on longer wavelengths. For 8 of 11 analytes, the MIR calibrations had the lowest standard error of cross-validation, but in most cases the difference in accuracy between NIR and MIR calibrations was small, and against an independent validation set, there was no clear evidence that either spectral region was superior. Although quantitative MIR spectroscopy is at a more primitive state of development than NIR spectroscopy, these results demonstrate that the mid infrared has considerable promise for quantitative analytical work.

AB  - La spectroscopie quantitative par réflectance offre une alternative aux méthodes analytiques traditionnelles pour déterminer la composition chimique d'un échantillon. L'objectif de cette étude consistait à développer un ensemble de courbes de calibration pour déterminer la composition chimique (composition en nutriments, carbone et fibres mesurée à l'aide de méthodes standards de laboratoire d'analyse par voie humide) d'échantillons (N = 72) d'aiguilles séchées de conifères et de comparer la capacité de prédiction des courbes basées sur trois régions spectrales différentes : visible et proche infrarouge ondes courtes (VIS/PIRoc, 400–1100 nm), proche infrarouge (PIR, 1100–2500 nm) et infrarouge moyen (IRM, 2500 – 25 000 nm). À ce jour, la spectroscopie quantitative par réflectance a surtout été basée sur le VIS/PIRoc/PIR mais la possibilité de prédire la composition du feuillage des arbres avec des courbes basées sur l'IRM n'a pas été testée. Les courbes VIS/PIRoc étaient nettement inférieures à celles qui étaient basées sur des longueurs d'onde plus longues. Pour huit des onze substances analysées, les courbes basées sur l'IRM avaient la plus faible erreur type de validation croisée. Par contre, dans la plupart des cas, il y avait peu de différence de précision entre les courbes basées sur le PIR et celles basées sur l'IRM. La supériorité de l'une ou l'autre de ces régions spectrales était loin d'être évidente avec des données de validation indépendantes. Bien que la spectroscopie dans l'IRM soit à un stade de développement plus primitif que la spectroscopie dans le PIR, les résultats démontrent que l'IRM est très prometteur pour le travail d'analyse quantitative.

AB  - The efficient use of feed for growth and meat production is important for all animal production industries including aquaculture. Residual feed intake (RFI) is an alternative measure of feed efficiency that has been widely used in livestock production. Residual feed intake was calculated as the difference between intake observed and intake predicted on the basis of a bioenergetics model; a low RFI indicates greater efficiency. Residual feed intake offers some advantages as a selection criterion for improving production efficiency over traditional feed efficiency statistics because it is not a ratio and it typically has a larger coefficient of variation. The RFI of individually reared rainbow trout progeny from six different genetic cross-types was examined for genetic variation. Proximate analysis and nitrogen retention were also evaluated to determine if differences in RFI correlate to differences in body composition and nutrient retention and varied by cross-type. Differences between cross-types indicated a genetic component for RFI, with the most efficient fish of approximately 160 g consuming 0.99 g less and inefficient fish consuming 0.05 g more feed per day than expected. Lower RFI was associated with higher growth rates (r=−0.38,P<0.05) and greater nitrogen retention (r=−0.82P<0.001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An accurate model description of the effects of stress on magnetic properties of materials has become increasingly important for quantitative analysis of magnetic NDE measurement results, and to the development of magnetostrictive sensors for NDE applications. The model of the magnetomechanical effect developed in the previous work provides the basis for describing changes of magnetization under stresses. However there is a need to further improve the model to deal with materials which have different magnetomechanical properties or anisotropy. We have recently performed modeling studies to investigate how stress induced magnetic anisotropy affects hysteretic and anhysteretic magnetization curves as they approach saturation. The results of this work have led to an improved model which takes into account the stress dependence of the input model parameters. The extended model was validated with respect to its capability for describing the changes of magnetization in response to varying mechanical stress under constant applied fields, and to varying magnetic field under constant applied stresses. Simulation results are compared to the measurement results obtained from materials with both positive and negative magnetostriction. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Invasive species pose a major, yet poorly addressed, threat to sustainable forestry. Here we set forth an interdisciplinary science strategy of research, development, and applications to reduce this threat. To spur action by public and private entities that too often are slow, reluctant, or unable to act, we recommend (a) better integrating invasive species into sustainable forestry frameworks such as the Montréal Process and forest certification programs; (b) developing improved cost estimates to inform choices about international trade and pest suppression efforts; and (c) building distributed information systems that deliver information on risks, identification, and response strategies. To enhance the success of prevention and management actions, we recommend (a) advancing technologies for molecular identification, expert systems, and remote sensing; (b) evolving approaches for ecosystem and landscape management; and (c) better anticipating interactions between species invasions and other global change processes.

AB  - The effectiveness of ascorbic acid (AA), isoascorbic acid (IAA) and N-acetyl-cysteine (AC) in inhibiting browning of fresh-cut pineapple slices that were stored for up to 14 days at 10 °C, were studied. Slices treated with IAA and AA maintained higher levels of sugars and vitamin C than AC and controls. A low reduction of total phenolic content in treated slices was correlated with a lower polyphenol oxidase activity. IAA and AA slowed the degradation rates of sugars, vitamin C, and phenolic content, whereas AC was less effective in affecting these processes. A higher content of AA and IAA was associated with better compositional quality parameters and appearance of the pineapple slices during the storage period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of mid-day (11:00 – 13:00&ThickSpace;h) and late evening (18:00 – 20:00&ThickSpace;h) broadcast bait (Seige Pro®, 0.73% hydramethylnon) applications against black and hybrid imported fire ants ( Solenopsis richteri Forel and S . richteri × invicta , respectively) and their impact on native ant species. It was hypothesized that evening bait applications would have less impact on native ant species that slow or cease foraging at night relative to mid-day applications. Bait was applied to a series of plots in northeastern Mississippi, USA, in summer of 2002 and 2003. Population densities and foraging activity of imported fire ants and native ants were compared between treated and control plots. Population density and foraging activity of imported fire ants were equally suppressed in plots receiving mid-day and evening broadcast bait applications. Population density of Monomorium minimum (Buckley), the little black ant, approached zero in treated plots during 2003 but remained relatively high in untreated control plots. Species richness declined in treated plots with no difference between mid-day and evening bait application. These data indicate that evening bait application offers no advantage over mid-day application in terms of preserving some native ant species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective To develop a scientifically based childhood obesity prevention program supporting child eating self-regulation and taste preferences. This article describes the research methods for the Strategies for Effective Eating Development program. A logic model is provided that depicts a visual presentation of the activities that will be used to guide the development of the prevention program. Design Randomized, controlled prevention program, pretest, posttest, 6 months, and 12 months. Setting Two sites: Houston, TX and Pasco, WA. Each trial will last 7 weeks with 8–10 mother–child dyads in each arm (prevention and control). Participants Recruitment at Head Start districts (Texas; n = 160) and Inspire Child Development Center including Early Childhood Education and Head Start (Washington; n = 160). Sixteen trials with 16–20 parent–child dyads per trial will provide adequate power to detect moderate effects. Intervention Multicomponent family-based prevention program incorporating a dialogue approach to adult learning and self-determination theory. Main Outcome Measures Child assessments will include observed taste preferences, caloric compensation, and eating in the absence of hunger. Parent assessments will include parent-reported feeding, feeding emotions, acculturation, child eating behaviors, child food preferences, and child dietary intake. Heights and weights will be measured for parent and child. Analysis A multilevel growth modeling analysis will be employed to consider the nested nature of the data: time points (level 1) within families (level 2) within trials (level 3).

AB  - Objective Squire's Quest! II: Saving the Kingdom of Fivealot , an online video game, promotes fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. An evaluation study varied the type of implementation intentions used during the goal-setting process (none, action, coping, or both action and coping plans). Participants who created action plans reported higher FV consumption 6 months after baseline. This study assessed changes by specific meal in that study. Methods A total of 400 fourth- and fifth-grade children completed 3 24-hour recalls at baseline and 6 months later. These were averaged to obtain FV intake. Analyses used repeated-measures ANCOVA. Results There was a significant group by time effect for vegetables at 6 months ( P = .01); Action ( P = .01) and coping ( P = .04) group participants reported higher vegetable intake at dinner. There were significant increases in fruit intake at breakfast ( P = .009), lunch ( P = .01), and snack ( P < .001). Conclusions and Implications Setting meal-specific goals and action or coping plans may enable children to overcome barriers and consume FV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We present thermoelectric power and resistivity measurements in the ferromagnet UGe2 as a function of temperature and magnetic field. At low temperature, huge quantum oscillations are observed in the thermoelectric power as a function of the magnetic field applied along the a axis. The frequencies of the extreme orbits are determined and an analysis of the cyclotron masses is performed following different theoretical approaches for quantum oscillations detected in the thermoelectric power. They are compared to those obtained by Shubnikov-de Haas experiments on the same crystal and previous de Haas-van Alphen experiments. The agreement of the different probes confirms thermoelectric power as an excellent probe to extract simultaneously both microscopic and macroscopic information on the Fermi surface properties. Band structure calculations of UGe2 in the ferromagnetic state are compared to the experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The electroanalytical determination of avidin in solution, in a carbon paste, and in a transgenic maize extract was performed in acidic medium at a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The oxidative voltammetric signal resulting from the presence of tyrosine and tryptophan in avidin was observed using square-wave voltammetry. The process could be used to determine avidin concentrations up to 3 fM (100 amol in 3 µl drop) in solution, 700 fM (174 fmol in 250 µl solution) in an avidin-modified electrode, and 174 nM in a maize seed extract. In the case of the avidin-modified CPE, several parameters were studied in order to optimize the measurements, such as electrode accumulation time, composition of the avidin-modified CPE, and the elution time of avidin. In addition, the avidin-modified electrode was used to detect biotin in solution (the detection limit was 7.6 pmol in a 6 µl drop) and to detect biotin in a pharmaceutical drug after various solvent extraction procedures. Comparable studies for the detection of biotin were developed using HPLC with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and flow injection analysis with electrochemical detection, which allowed biotin to be detected at levels as low as 614 pM and 6.6 nM, respectively. The effects of applied potential, acetonitrile content, and flow rate of the mobile phase on the FIA-ED signal were also studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Higher plant metallothioneins are suspected of reducing metal-induced oxidative stress and binding copper and zinc cofactor metals for delivery to important apometalloproteins. A metallothionein-like gene (MT-L2) cDNA clone pCkn16A1 (Accession U35225) was cloned from heat-shock-inducedNicotiana plumbaginifoliacontaining the heat-shock-inducible isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene (HS-ipt).Iptexpression in plants leads to enhanced cytokinin biosynthesis. In mature leaves of non-transformedN. plumbaginifoliaandNicotiana tabacum, copper stress caused a significant loss of MT-L2 mRNA transcripts. Under non-stressed conditions, HS-iptinduced (N. plumbaginifolia) or light-induced (SSU-ipt) (N. tabacum) plants had higher MT-L2 transcript levels than non-transformed or transformed (GUS) controls. Unlike control plants, copper stress did not reduce MT-L2 mRNA levels in the cytokinin accumulating transgenic plants. Enhanced cytokinin production also led to lower lipid peroxidation compared with controls under non-stressed and copper-stressed conditions. Greater MT-L2 transcript levels and protection against oxidative events prior to or during copper stress could contribute to the observed eight-fold accumulation of copper in mature leaves ofiptexpressing plants compared to non-transformed plants. Expression of this tobacco MT-L2 mRNA may be modulated directly by cytokinin or indirectly as a consequence of cytokinin-mediated antioxidant activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAE)-evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD)-method was developed to detect, separate, and quantify galacturonic acid (GA) oligomers. Following digestion of polygalacturonic acid (PGA) with a monocomponent endo-polygalacturonase (EPG), more than 70GA oligomer peaks could be resolved using a convex/linear ammonium formate gradient. Linear calibration curves were produced for 0.015-1.0% mono-, di- and tri GA. The mass response for mono-GA differed from those for di- and tri-GA, as evidenced from the slope of the calibration curve regression lines (1.611 ± 0.0201 for mono-GA vs. 1.3068 ± 0.0291 and 1.3004 ± 0.0262 for di-, and tri-GA. respectively). The degree of polymerization (DP) appeared to affect mass response as the trend line for log transformed peak areas of DP 3, 4, 6, and 8 oligomers had a slope of -0.0304± 0.0032 (r² = 0.98). Buffer concentration also affected mass response. ANOVA of peak areas from isocratic elution of trimer and hexamer with 50niM to 0.8 M ammonium formate indicated mass response was dependent on buffer concentration for each oligomer (P < 0.005), although Duncan's Multiple Range Test described concentration ranges within which mass response was not affected (P< 0.05).

AB  - A collection ofPseudomonas corrugataandP. mediterraneastrains, two closely related species, was evaluated for the presence and variability ofphaloci. Using PCR methods that specifically amplify segments of medium-chain-length poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (mcl-PHA) synthase genes, we demonstrated the presence ofphaC1andphaC2in allP. mediterraneastrains tested and in six out of 56 strains ofP. corrugatascreened. The remaining 50 strains ofP. corrugatayielded only thephaC2subgene fragment on detection by a combined PCR-restriction endonuclease analysis method or a semi-nested PCR-amplification approach. A Southern hybridization study on a representative strain from this group, however, indicated the presence of thephaC1gene. Nucleic acid sequences of the subgenephaCfragments of the representative strains from the three groups showed an overall similarity ranging from 95% to 100%. The major repeat-unit monomers of the mcl-PHAs isolated from these selected strains are ß-hydroxyoctanoate (33-47 mol%) and ß-hydroxydecanoate (26-36 mol%). These results differentiate for the first time the strains ofP. corrugatainto twopha-distinguishable groups. This study also documents for the first time the production of mcl-PHA inP. mediterranea.

AB  - The effects of preharvest methyl jasmonate (MJ) application on fruit quality, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity in black raspberry cv. Jewel (Rubus occidentalisL) and red raspberry cv. Autumn Bliss (Rubus idaeussubsp.) were studied under field condition. Raspberries treated with MJ had higher soluble solids content, total sugars, fructose, glucose, sucrose and lower titratable acids (TAs), malic acid and citric acid than untreated fruit. MJ also significantly enhanced the content of flavonoids and the antioxidant capacities in the fruit. The cv. Jewel had higher soluble solids and lower TAs compared with the cv. Autumn Bliss. On the basis of fresh weight of fruit,‘Jewel’ also had significantly higher anthocyanin, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than‘Autumn Bliss’. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A cDNA cloned from Aedes aegypti(L.) (Aedae) female Malpighian tubule (AY596453) encodes a 584 amino acid residue protein (65.2 kDa) predicted as a G protein-coupled receptor and orthologue of the drosokinin receptor from Drosophila highly similar to the tick Boophilus microplus myokinin receptor (AF228521). Based on the similarity to this Aedes sequence, we also propose a correction for the Anopheles gambiae protein sequence EAA05450. When expressed in CHO-K1 cells, the Aedes receptor behaved as a multiligand receptor and functionally responded to concentrations &ges; 1 nm of Aedae kinins 1-3, respectively, as determined by a calcium bioluminescence plate assay and single cell intracellular calcium measurements by confocal fluorescence cytometry. Estimates of EC50 values by the plate assay were 16.04 mu for Aedae-K-3, 26.6 NM for Aedae-K-2 and 48.8 mu for Aedae-K-1 and were statistically significantly different. These results suggest that the observed differences in physiological responses to the three Aedes kinins in the Aedes isolated Malpighian tubule reported elsewhere could now be explained by differences in intracellular signalling events triggered by the different peptides on the same receptor and not necessarily due to the existence of various receptors for the three Aedes kinins.

AB  - ‘Valencia’ oranges [Citrus sinensis(L.) Osbeck] were harvested at optimal maturity and either dipped in hot water at 53 °C for 3 or 6 min or at 48 °C for 12 min or cured at 53 °C for 1 or 6 h or at 48 °C for 12 h. The fruits were not degreened, waxed or treated with any post-harvest fungicides. All fruit samples were stored at 4 °C for 6 months following the treatments. Both hot water dip and curing treatments reduced chilling injury and decay when compared with the untreated control. The most effective treatments were curing of fruit at 53 °C for 6 h and at 48 °C for 12 h. Weight loss and juice yield were higher in cured fruits than those from other treatments, but the heat treatments had no consistent effects on titratable acid, soluble solids, ascorbic acid and peel colour. It was concluded that a pre-storage hot water dip and curing at high temperatures might be beneficial in preventing chilling injury and decay of‘Valencia’ oranges for 6 months of storage at 4 °C.

AB  - We compared the success of using naturally occurring stable isotopes of N, C, and Sr as markers for the  rearing locations of juvenile salmon. We analyzed the isotopic signatures (δ15N and δ13C in muscle and scales and 87Sr/86Sr in otoliths) of >200 juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from 12 tributaries of the Connecticut River, USA. Young salmon had distinct N and C signatures 5 weeks after stocking. Signatures were stable over the summer although δ13C varied more than δ15N or 87Sr/86Sr. Scale and muscle signatures were highly correlated, demonstrating the feasibility of nonlethal sampling using fish scales. Some C (but not N) signature from the hatchery was retained in scales of 3-month-old fish, implicating scale annuli as a repository for past C signatures. The δ15N values successfully differentiated fish from tributaries with differences in land use (e.g., agricultural versus forested; ≈ 33% of sites); the δ13C values differentiated fish from 45% of sites. Based upon a discriminant-function analysis, group membership of individuals was correctly predicted in 44.3% (74 of 167) of cases for which both N and C were analyzed. In combination, N and C isotopes differentiated 73% of study sites, which was close to the success of Sr isotopes in the same system (83%). (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Nous avons comparé la performance des isotopes stables de N, C et Sr qui existent en nature comme marqueurs du lieu où se sont développés des jeunes saumons. Nous avons analysé les signatures isotopiques (δ15N et δ13C dans le muscle et les écailles et 87Sr/86Sr dans les otolithes) chez >200 jeunes saumons atlantiques (Salmo salar) dans 12 tributaires du fleuve Connecticut, États-Unis. Les jeunes saumons possèdent des signatures N et C distinctes 5 semaines après l'empoissonnement. Les signatures demeurent stables au cours de l'été bien que δ13C varie plus que δ15N ou que 87Sr/86Sr. Il y a une forte corrélation entre les signatures du muscle et des écailles; il est donc possible de faire des prélèvements non létaux au moyen des écailles des poissons. Des vestiges de la signature de C (mais non de N) de la pisciculture persistent dans les écailles des poissons âgés de 3 mois; les annulus des écailles sont donc des points de rétentions des signatures antérieures de C. Les valeurs de δ15N permettent de séparer avec succès des tributaires dans des zones d'utilisation des terres différentes (par exemple, les zones agricoles des zones forestières : ≈ 33 % des sites); δ13C permet la reconnaissance de 45 % des sites. Une analyse des fonctions discriminantes permet de prédire correctement l'appartenance des individus à un groupe dans 44,3 % (74/167) des cas lorsque C et N ont été tous deux analysés. La combinaison des isotopes N et C permet de séparer 73 % des sites, ce qui s'approche de la performance des isotopes Sr dans le même système (83 %).[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Existing linkage maps of the bovine genome primarily contain anonymous microsatellite markers. These maps have proved valuable for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) to broad regions of the genome, but more closely spaced markers are needed to fine-map QTL, and markers associated with genes and annotated sequence are needed to identify genes and sequence variation that may explain QTL. Results: Bovine expressed sequence tag (EST) and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)sequence data were used to develop 918 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to map genes on the bovine linkage map. DNA of sires from the MARC reference population was used to detect SNPs, and progeny and mates of heterozygous sires were genotyped. Chromosome assignments for 861 SNPs were determined by two-point analysis, and positions for 735 SNPs were established by multipoint analyses. Linkage maps of bovine autosomes with these SNPs represent 4585 markers in 2475 positions spanning 3058 cM . Markers include 3612 microsatellites, 913 SNPs and 60 other markers. Mean separation between marker positions is 1.2 cM. New SNP markers appear in 511 positions, with mean separation of 4.7 cM. Multi-allelic markers, mostly microsatellites, had a mean (maximum) of 216 (366) informative meioses, and a mean 3-lod confidence interval of 3.6 cM Bi-allelic markers, including SNP and other marker types, had a mean (maximum) of 55 (191) informative meioses, and were placed within a mean 8.5 cM 3-lod confidence interval. Homologous human sequences were identified for 1159 markers, including 582 newly developed and mapped SNP. Conclusion: Addition of these EST- and BAC-based SNPs to the bovine linkage map not only increases marker density, but provides connections to gene-rich physical maps, including annotated human sequence. The map provides a resource for fine-mapping quantitative trait loci and identification of positional candidate genes, and can be integrated with other data to guide and refine assembly of bovine genome sequence. Even after the bovine genome is completely sequenced, the map will continue to be a useful tool to link observable phenotypes and animal genotypes to underlying genes and molecular mechanisms influencing economically important beef and dairy traits.

AB  - Twenty-four simple sequence repeat markers were developed for Phakopsora pachyrhizi, a fungal pathogen of soybean ( Glycine max) and other legumes. All 24 of the loci were evaluated on 28 isolates of P. pachyrhizi. Twenty-one loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to eight alleles, and null alleles were observed for eight of the 24 loci. A preliminary screen with the closely related species, P. meibomiae, indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. pachyrhizi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We identified a strong association (P = 5.36 × 10−17) between rs492602 in FUT2 and plasma vitamin B12 levels in a genome-wide scan (n = 1,658) and an independent replication sample (n = 1,059) from the Nurses' Health Study. Women homozygous for the rs492602[G] allele had higher B12 levels. This allele is in strong linkage disequilibrium with the FUT2 nonsecretor variant encoding W143X, suggesting a plausible mechanism for altered B12 absorption and plasma levels.

AB  - The article analyzes the effects of substituting distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for more expensive feed on cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). Feed is the major expense in fish farming and protein is its most costly part. The yeasts in the distillers dried grains provide critical lysine. The article presents comparative weight gains vs. feed intake and fish survival rates for feeds containing differing DDGS percentages, with and without supplemental lysine, and finds no immunological side-effects of the DDGS feeding.

AB  - Recent genetic studies suggest that in northern Minnesota two species of wolves (Canis lupus L., 1758 or western wolf and Canis lycaon Schreber, 1775 (= Canis rufus Audubon and Bachman, 1851) or eastern wolf) meet and hybridize. However, little morphological information is available about these two types of wolves in Minnesota. We analyzed the mass of 950 female wolves and 1006 males older than 1 year from across northern Minnesota and found that it increased from 26.30 ± 0.56 kg (mean ± SE) for females and 30.60 ± 0.72 kg for males in northeastern Minnesota to 30.01 ± 0.43 kg for females and 35.94 ± 0.45 kg for males in northwestern Minnesota (females: r2 = 0.79, P < 0.02; males: r2 = 0.63, P = 0.06). These mass differences add morphological information to the identities of eastern and western wolves and support the view that ranges of the two species meet in Minnesota. Des études génétiques récentes indiquent que, dans le nord du Minnesota, deux espèces de loups (Canis lupus L., 1758, le loup de l’ouest, et Canis lycaon Schreber, 1775 (= Canis rufus Audubon et Bachman, 1851), le loup de l’est) se rencontrent et font de l’hybridation. Il existe, cependant, peu d’information morphologique sur ces deux types de loups au Minnesota. Nous avons mesuré la masse de 950 louves et 1006 loups de plus de 1 an dans tout le nord du Minnesota et trouvé que la masse augmente de 26,30 ± 0,56 kg (moyenne ± ET) chez les femelles et de 30,60 ± 0,72 kg chez les mâles dans le nord-est du Minnesota à 30,01 ± 0,43 kg chez les femelles et à 35,94 ± 0,45 kg chez les mâles dans le nord-ouest du Minnesota (females : r2 = 0,79, P < 0,02; mâles : r2 = 0,63, P = 0,06). Ces différences de masse constituent des renseignements morphologiques additionnels sur l’identité des loups de l’est et de l’ouest et elles appuient le point de vue selon lequel les aires de répartition des deux espèces se recoupent au Minnesota.

AB  - Infectious bronchitis is a respiratory disease of chickens that is caused by the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Virtually all broiler and layer breeder flocks are routinely vaccinated against IBV. Two hatches of 1-day-old chicks from four lines were mistakenly vaccinated for infectious bronchitis using a moderately attenuated vaccine designed for chicks of an older age. The vaccination resulted in high mortality, and chicks from three of four lines died with signs typical of infectious bronchitis. The mortality that occurred using this less-attenuated vaccine was significantly influenced by the genetic line, and the MHC (B) haplotype in chickens of three B congenic lines. B congenic chickens possessing the B*15 haplotype were resistant in contrast to chickens possessing the B*13 or B*21 haplotypes. Chicks from two further hatches of the four lines were vaccinated appropriately with a more attenuated IBV vaccine, and only limited chick mortality was seen. These retrospective data from two repeated hatches confirm earlier data indicating chicken genes influence resistance to IBV, and indicate for the first time that genes tightly linked to the B haplotype are relevant in resistance to IBV. Due to extenuating circumstances it was not possible to verify results with chicks from F 2 matings. Factors that may enhance definition of the role of the B haplotype in immune response to IBV, and the desirability for further analysis of a B haplotype-linked influence on immunity to IBV are discussed.

AB  - The effects of seasonal prescribed fire on the belowground ectomycorrhizal community and live fine root biomass were investigated before, 1 year after, and 2 years after prescribed underburning. Ectomycorrhizas were sampled from four replications of three treatments (fall underburning, spring underburning, and a nonburned control) in a randomized complete block design. Samples were separated in two subsamples representing the upper 5 cm and lower 5 cm of a soil core. Molecular tools were used to distinguish 140 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) species of fungi directly from the ectomycorrhizas. Prior to underburning, the number of RFLP species and amount of live root biomass were similar among treatment units and between upper and lower core samples. Fall underburning largely removed live root biomass to a depth of 10 cm and significantly reduced ectomycorrhizal species richness compared with spring underburning and the nonburned control for at least 2 years. RFLP species richness and live root biomass following spring underburning were generally similar to the nonburned treatment. The successful reintroduction of fire to the ecosystem to retain high species diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi and achieve the desired future condition of large-tree ponderosa pine retention with low fuel loads may require more than underburning in a single season. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les effets du brûlage dirigé saisonnier sur la communauté ectomycorhizienne dans le sol et la biomasse de racines fines vivantes ont été étudiés avant, 1 an après et 2 ans après un brûlage dirigé superficiel. Les ectomycorhizes ont été échantillonnées dans les quatre répétitions de trois traitements (brûlage automnal, brûlage printanier et témoin non brûlé) établis selon un dispositif en blocs aléatoires complets. Les échantillons ont été divisés en deux sous-échantillons représentant les parties supérieure (5 cm) et inférieure (5 cm) d'une carotte de sol. Des outils moléculaires ont été utilisés pour distinguer 140 espèces de champignons sur la base des RFLP directement à partir des ectomycorhizes. Avant le brûlage, le nombre d'espèces et la biomasse de racines vivantes étaient similaires entre toutes les parcelles expérimentales et entre les parties supérieure et inférieure des carottes de sol. Le brûlage automnal a pratiquement éliminé la biomasse de racines vivantes jusqu'à une profondeur de 10 cm et significativement réduit la richesse en espèces ectomycorhiziennes comparativement au brûlage printanier et au témoin non brûlé pendant au moins 2 ans. La richesse en espèces basées sur les RFLP et la biomasse de racines vivantes à la suite du brûlage printanier étaient généralement semblables au traitement non brûlé. La réintroduction réussie du feu dans l'écosystème dans le but de conserver une grande diversité d'espèces de champignons ectomycorhiziens et de recréer les conditions futures souhaitées pour conserver des pins ponderosa de forte dimension avec une faible quantité de combustibles pourrait exiger plus qu'un brûlage superficiel au cours d'une seule saison.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - p.-k. chang, r.a. wilson, n.p. keller and t.e. cleveland. 2004.To investigate how linoleic acid affects conidial production and sclerotial development in a strictly mitoticAspergillus parasiticusfield isolate as related to improving biocompetitivity of atoxigenicAspergillusspecies.We disruptedA. parasiticusΔ12-oleic acid desaturase gene (odeA) responsible for the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid. We examined conidiation and sclerotial development of SRRC 2043 and three isogenic mutant strains deleted for theodeAgene (ΔodeA), either with or without supplementing linoleic acid, on one complex potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and on two defined media: nitrate-containing Czapek agar (CZ) and Cove's ammonium medium (CVN). TheΔodeA mutants produced less conidia than the parental strain on all media. Linoleic acid supplementation (as sodium linoleate at 0·3 and 1·2 mg ml−1) restored theΔodeA conidial production comparable to or exceeding the unsupplemented parental level, and the effect was medium dependent, with the highest increase on CVN and the least on PDA. SRRC 2043 and theΔodeA mutants were unable to produce sclerotia on CVN. On unsupplemented PDA and CZ,ΔodeA sclerotial mass was comparable to that of SRRC 2043, but sclerotial number increased significantly to two- to threefold. Supplementing linoleic acid to media, in general, tended to decrease wild type andΔodeA sclerotial mass and sclerotial number.Linoleic acid stimulates conidial production but has an inhibitory effect on sclerotial development. The relationship between the two processes inA. parasiticusis complex and affected by multiple factors, such as fatty acid composition and nitrogen source.Conditions that promote sclerotial development differ from those required to promote maximum conidial production. Manipulation of content and availability of linoleic acid at different fungal growth phases might optimize conidial and sclerotial production hence increasing the efficacy of biocompetitiveAspergillusspecies.

AB  - Photosynthesis is particularly sensitive to direct inhibition by heat stress. This inhibition is closely associated with the inactivation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). To develop a more complete understanding of the mechanism of inactivation of Rubisco under moderate heat stress, various aspects of the process were examined both in vivo and in vitro. Experiments with isolated Rubisco revealed that the rate of synthesis of the catalytic misfire product, xylulose-I,5-bisphosphate, increased with temperature. Activated Rubisco, produced by reaction with activase at a control temperature of 25°C or by incubation with high C02, deactivated when the temperature of the reaction exceeded temperatures that were equivalent to the optimum for activase adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Measurements of the activation state of Rubisco in cotton and tobacco leaves showed that Rubisco inactivated within 7 s of imposing a heat stress. Thus, elevated temperature had an opposite effect on the two processes that ultimately determine the activation state of Rubisco, decreasing activase activity but stimulating the catalytic misfire reaction that inactivates Rubisco. These data support a mechanism for the inactivation of Rubisco at high temperature involving an inability of activase to overcome the inherently faster rates of Rubisco inactivation. That the net effect of elevated temperatures on Rubisco activation is similar both in vivo and under controlled conditions in vitro argues for a direct effect of temperature on the activation of Rubisco by activase and against the proposal that the deactivation of Rubisco under moderate heat stress is a secondary consequence of perturbations in the thylakoid membrane.

AB  - Oat–maize radiation hybrids are oat (Avena sativa L.) plants carrying radiation-induced subchromosome fragments of a given maize (Zea mays L.) chromosome. Since first-generation radiation hybrids contain various maize chromosome rearrangements in a hemizygous condition, variation might be expected in the transmission of these rearrangements to subsequent generations. The transmission and integrity of maize chromosome 9 rearrangements were evaluated in progenies of 30 oat–maize radiation hybrids by using a series of DNA-based markers and by genomic in situ hybridization. Maize chromosome 9 rearrangements were reisolated by self-fertilization in 24 of the 30 radiation hybrid lineages. Normal and deleted versions of maize chromosome 9 were transmitted at similar frequencies of 9.1% and 7.6%, respectively, while intergenomic translocations were transmitted at a significantly higher frequency of 47.6%. Most lines (93%) that inherited a rearrangement had it in the hemizygous condition. Lines with a rearrangement in the homozygous state (7%) were only identified in lineages with intergenomic translocations. Homozygous lines are more desirable from the perspective of stock maintenance, since they may stably transmit a given rearrangement to a subsequent generation. However, their isolation is not strictly required, since hemizygous lines can also be used for genome mapping studies. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Des hybrides d'irradiation avoine-maïs sont des plants d'avoine (Avena sativa L.) contenant des fragments d'un chromosome donné du maïs (Zea mays L.), ces fragments étant le produit d'une irradiation. Puisque les hybrides d'irradiation de première génération contiennent divers réarrangements chromosomiques du maïs à l'état hémizygote, une variation est attendue dans la transmission de ces réarrangements aux générations subséquentes. La transmission et l'intégrité de réarrangements du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été évaluées à l'aide de marqueurs génétiques et par hybridation génomique in situ parmi les descendants de 30 hybrides d'irradiation avoine-maïs. Les réarrangements du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été retrouvés suite à une autofécondation au sein de 24 des 30 descendances d'hybrides d'irradiation. Les versions normales et délétées du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été transmises à des fréquences semblables, soit respectivement 9,1 % et 7,6 %. Par contre, les translocations intergénomiques ont été transmises beaucoup plus efficacement (47,6 %). La plupart des lignées avec un réarrangement l'ont hérité à l'état hémizygote (93 %). Des lignées avec des réarrangements à l'état homozygote (7 %) ont été obtenues uniquement parmi les descendances qui portaient une translocation intergénomique. Les lignées homozygotes sont plus souhaitables du point de vue du maintien des stocks génétiques car elles peuvent transmettre un réarrangement donné de manière stable de génération en génération. Cependant, leur obtention n'est pas absolument requise puisque des lignées hémizygotes peuvent également servir lors de travaux de cartographie génomique. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report sequence, tissue expression and map-position data for myogenin, MYOD1, myostatin and follistatin in three Ictalurid catfish species: channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), blue catfish (I. furcatus) and white catfish (Ameiurus catus). These genes are involved in muscle growth and development in mammals and may play similar roles in catfish. Amino acid sequences were highly conserved among the three Ictalurid species (>95% identity), moderately conserved among catfish and zebrafish (approximately 80% identity), and less conserved among catfish and humans (approximately 40-60% identity) for all four genes. Gene structure (number of exons and introns and exon-intron boundaries) was conserved between catfish and other species for all genes. Myogenin and MYOD1 expression was limited to skeletal muscle in juvenile channel catfish, similar to expression patterns for these genes in other fish and mammalian species. Myostatin was expressed in a variety of tissues in juvenile channel catfish, a pattern common in other fish species but contrasting with data from mammals where myostatin is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle. Follistatin was expressed in juvenile catfish heart, testes and spleen. All four genes contained polymorphic microsatellite repeats in non-coding regions and linkage analysis based on inheritance of these microsatellite loci was used to place the genes on the channel catfish linkage map. Information provided in this study will be useful in further studies to determine the role these genes play in muscle growth and development in catfish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Much research has focused on how the glycemic index (GI) of the diets of healthy people relates to long-term risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, and non-insulin dependent diabetes. Low-GI diets appear to produce some of their beneficial effects largely by moderating insulinemic responses to meals. Wolever and Bolognesi (1996) have derived a formula for predicting the insulinemic index (II) from the GI for starchy foods. Using data from Holt et al. (1995, 1997) on a wide variety of common foods, we have examined differences between the observed II and GI-based estimates of the II. These differences were found to correlate negatively with satiety index ratings and positively with contents of total sugars. We suggest that the aforementioned method of measuring and expressing the relation between the GI and the II may prove useful in exploring how various components and sensory properties of food may affect hunger and energy intake.

AB  - Expression of the transcription factor GATA-3 is strongly associated with T helper type 2 (TH2) differentiation, but genetic evidence for its involvement in this process has been lacking. Here, we generated a conditional GATA-3-deficient mouse line. In vitro deletion of Gata3 diminished both interleukin 4 (IL-4)-dependent and IL-4-independent TH2 cell differentiation; without GATA-3, TH1 differentiation occurred in the absence of IL-12 and interferon-γ. Gata3 deletion limited the growth of TH2 cells but not TH1 cells. Deletion of Gata3 from established TH2 cells abolished IL-5 and IL-13 but not IL-4 production. In vivo deletion of Gata3 using OX40-Cre eliminated TH2 responses and allowed the development of interferon-γ-producing cells in mice infected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Thus, GATA-3 serves as a principal switch in determining TH1-TH2 responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Qi L, Corella D, Sorlí JV, Portolés O, Shen H, Coltell O, Godoy D, Greenberg AS, Ordovas JM. Genetic variation at the perilipin (PLIN) locus is associated with obesity-related phenotypes in White women.Perilipin coats intracellular lipid droplets and modulates adipocyte lipolysis. We have evaluated the association between several polymorphisms at the perilipin (PLIN) locus (PLIN1 : 6209T > C,PLIN4 : 11482G > A,PLIN5 : 13041A > G, andPLIN6 : 14995A > T) with obesity-related phenotypes in 1589 White subjects randomly selected from a general Spanish population. In women (n = 801), the less common alleles ofPLIN1andPLIN4, in strong linkage disequilibrium (D′ : 0.96), were significantly associated with lower body mass index. Carriers of the allele 2 (6209C) at thePLIN1locus weighed significantly less (−2.2 kg; p = 0.007) than women homozygotes for the wild-type genotype. The same was true for 11482A carriers atPLIN4(p = 0.01). Moreover, thePLIN4variant was associated with significantly lower waist-to-hip ratio, plasma glucose, and triacylglycerol concentrations. No significant associations with these obesity-related phenotypes were found in men. In agreement with these results, statistically significant gene–gender interactions were obtained when the risk of obesity was estimated (281 subjects were obese and 1308 non-obese). Only in women,PLIN1andPLIN4variant alleles (6209C and 11482A) were associated with a lower obesity risk[Odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.38–0.93 and OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.36–0.89, respectively]. In summary, our data suggest that common alleles at thePLINlocus modulate body weight and metabolic variables in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Isoelectrofocusing of superoxide dismutase (SOD) isoforms was carried out on the extracts of 117 nematode populations belonging to the so-called Xiphinema americanum-group. These populations came from the USA (77), Chile (5), Argentina (1), Venezuela (5), Portugal (15), Italy (2), Crete (1), Montenegro (1), Slovakia (4), Hungary (3), Egypt (1) and India (2). A total of 17 bands of enzyme activity were observed in the screening, whilst single enzyme phenotypes showed from two to eight bands. The high degree of SOD polymorphism of this nematode collection was grouped by cluster analysis into seven distinct homogeneous groups characterised by specific combinations of SOD markers. Sub-groups could be discriminated for larger groups. The small Groups 3 and 5 were constituted mostly by populations from USA east coast states (i.e., NY and PA, respectively). The larger Group 1 resulted from the association of populations coming from various and distant North American States. In other large groups, North American populations were associated with South American and European populations. Overall, the data presented here suggest that geographic separation and different hosts do not seem to be the source of genetic diversity for the X. americanum-group. When an adequate number of populations were collected from the same country, the variability expressed by such a sub-sample was comparable to that of the whole nematode collection. For the first time, homogeneous populations of a large collection of X. americanum-group populations were associated by molecular means in order to explore further approaches that may help resolve the recalcitrant taxonomy and phylogeny of this much debated group.

AB  - The article present information on the food habits of older people depending on the ethnic group. Multiethnic communities are increasingly common in the United States. Food-related practices of older people from any ethnic group can present challenges for a number of reasons, including increased requirements for important nutrients because of physiological changes associated with aging and pathological effects of some chronic conditions. Each ethnic group developed its own norms and cultural behaviors around food and eating practices, some of which were maintained over various generations, some of which have been lost and some of which are just making their mark in this country.

AB  - Germline transformation systems for nearly 20 insect species have been derived from transposable elements, allowing the development of transgenic insects for basic and applied studies. These systems use a defective nonautonomous vector that results in stable vector integrations after the disappearance of transiently provided transposase helper plasmid, which is essential to maintain true breeding lines and consistent transgene expression that would otherwise be lost after vector remobilization. The risk of remobilization by an unintended transposase source has so far not been a concern for laboratory studies, but the prospective use of millions of transgenic insects in biocontrol programs will likely increase the risk, therefore making this a critical issue for the ecological safety of field release programs. Here we describe an efficient method that deletes a terminal repeat sequence of a transposon vector after genomic integration. This procedure prevents transposase-mediated remobilization of the other terminal sequence and associated genes, ensuring their genomic stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A previously developed monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the heavy chain of hybrid striped bass (HSB) Morone chrysops× M. saxatilis immunoglobulin was used in an assay to detect the humoral response to antigens of Streptococcus iniae. In order to validate this assay, an anti- S. iniae antibody was produced in HSB by immunization with formalin-killed cells of S. iniae mixed with Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). After boosting with cells mixed with Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA), fish were challenged with live S. iniae by i.p. injection. This resulted in mortalities of 100%, 13% and 7% for non-immunized, immunized and non-challenged fish respectively. Live S. iniae were recovered only from moribund non-immunized challenged fish, indicating that the immunization conferred protection against S. iniae. Sera were taken at 28 and 42 days post challenge and anti- S. iniae antibody was measured by both agglutination and indirect ELISA. Titres of anti- S. iniae antibody increased only in the immunized group as measured by agglutination and ELISA. Serum complement measured in the final bleeding was significantly higher in the immunized group. Western blotting using immune HSB serum indicated that the predominant antigen in this case was the high molecular weight polysaccharide of S. iniae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - •  Understanding how trees are affected by a long-term increase in atmospheric CO2 is crucial to understanding the future impact of global climate change. Measurements of photosynthetic characteristics were made in sour orange trees ( Citrus aurantium) growing under an enhanced CO2 atmosphere and N-replete soil for 14 yr to determine whether photosynthetic down-regulation had occurred. •  Photosynthesis, A : Ci gas exchange relationships and Rubisco activity and content were measured throughout the 14th year of the experiment. The CO2-induced enhancement ratio of photosynthesis was calculated and compared with estimates of the enhancement of cumulative wood biomass production. •  Content of the large subunit of Rubisco was significantly reduced by CO2 enrichment indicating that down-regulation had occurred. A high correlation between the CO2-induced enhancement of photosynthesis and the enhancement of cumulative wood biomass production suggested that the decline in wood biomass production was closely related to the decline in photosynthesis. •  These results indicate that long-term CO2 enrichment can result in photosynthetic down-regulation in leaves of trees, even under nonlimiting N conditions. ♥ New Phytologist (2004) No claim to original US government worksδοι: 10.1011/j.1469-8137.2004.01104.x [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We have previously developed phytoremediation and phytomining technologies employingAlyssumNi hyperaccumulators to quantitatively extract Ni from soils. Implementation of these technologies requires knowledge of Ni localization patterns for theAlyssumspecies/ecotypes of interest under realistic growth conditions. We investigated Ni uptake and localization in matureAlyssum murale‘Kotodesh’ and ‘AJ9ç leaves. Seedlings were grown in potting mix with an increasing series of NiSO4 addition (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 mmol Ni kg-1), NiC4H6O4 addition (0, 5, 10, 30, 60, 90 mmol Ni kg-1), in Ni-contaminated soil from metal refining operations, and serpentine soil. Plants at Ni levels 0, 5, 10, 20 mmolkg-1 and in native soils grew normally. Plants at 40 mmolkg-1 exhibited the onset of phytotoxicity, and 60, 80, and 90 mmolkg-1 were demonstrably phytotoxic, but symptoms of phytotoxicity abated within 6 months. Cryogenic complement fractures were made from frozen hydrated samples. High-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken of one half. The other half was freeze-dried and examined with SEM and semi-quantitative energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Ni was highly concentrated in epidermal cell vacuoles and Ni and S counts showed a positive correlation. Trichome pedicles and the epidermal tissue from which the trichome grows were primary Ni compartments, but Ni was not distributed throughout trichomes. Palisade and spongy mesophyll and guard/substomatal cells contained lesser Ni concentrations but palisade mesophyll was an increasingly important compartment as Ni soil levels increased. Ni was virtually excluded from vascular tissue and trichome rays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The proportion of cropland cover in the catchments of Missouri reservoirs, a surrogate for non-point-source nutrient loss from agricultural watersheds, accounts for some 60%–70% of the cross-system variance in long-term averages of total phosphorus and total nitrogen (n = 126, ln transformation for nutrients and logit for cropland). The addition of dam height and an index of flushing rate improved r2 values to ~77% for both nutrients. Even among reservoir catchments with >80% grass and forest cover, cropland accounted for most of the variation in nutrients. Reservoir nutrients showed a strong negative relation to forest cover. Relations between grass cover and nutrients were positive but weak, and grass had no significant statistical effect once cropland was taken into account. Residual analysis suggests that urban reservoirs would have about twice the nutrient level of reservoirs in non-cropland basins (forest and grass). The increase in nutrients with the proportion of cropland and the decrease with forest cover have previously been documented in Missouri streams. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La proportion des terres agricoles dans les bassins versants des réservoirs du Missouri, une variable de remplacement pour les pertes diffuses de nutriments dans les bassins versants agricoles, explique environ 60 % – 70 % de la variances des quantités moyennes à long terme de phosphore total et d'azote total dans les bassins (n = 126, transformation ln des valeurs de nutriments et transformation logit dans le cas des terres agricoles). L'addition de la hauteur des barrages et d'un indice de vidange améliore les valeurs de r2 à ~77 % pour les deux variables de nutriments. Même dans les bassins versants de réservoirs avec >80 % de couverture de prairie ou de forêts, les terres agricoles expliquent la plus grande partie de la variation des nutriments. Il y a une forte relation négative entre les nutriments dans les réservoirs et la couverture forestière. Les relations entre la prairie et les nutriments sont positives, mais faibles, et tout effet statistiquement significatif disparaît lorsqu'on tient compte des terres agricoles. Une analyse résiduelle indique que les réservoirs urbains auraient environ le double des concentrations de nutriments des réservoirs dans les bassins versants sans terres agricoles (donc de forêts et de prairies). L'augmentation des nutriments en fonction de la proportion des terres agricoles et leur diminution en fonction de la couverture forestière avaient déjà été démontrées dans les cours d'eau du Missouri.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Six mixed-breed dogs were trained to detect 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in laboratory-prepared water. The three dogs most responsive to training were selected for further testing to measure their ability to detect these compounds at levels typical of the early stages of an ‘off-flavour’ event in catfish pond culture. The dogs were given one out of five choices of off-flavour and ‘on-flavour’ water samples and were trained to sit at boxes containing off-flavour sample tubes. At the lowest concentration tested, 10 ng L−1 of the target compound, the mean correct responses for the three dogs were 37%, 43% and 67%. Additional testing was conducted using off-flavour pond water samples containing known amounts of these two compounds that occurred naturally. Correct responses for off-flavour samples varied from 30% to 95%, depending on the sample and the dog. On-flavour samples were correctly identified with 96% accuracy for all dogs and all samples. Dogs may provide practical early detection of off-flavour problems in catfish ponds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses time resolved luminiescence screening assay for Tetracyclines in chicken muscle. A time-resolved luminescence assay was developed for effective screening of tetracyclines in chicken muscle at the European Union (EU). Tetracyclines(TC) are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics that are used in both medical and veterinary applications. Use of such antibiotics in food animals has caused concern due to reports suggesting this practice is related to increasing antimicrobial resistance. Time-resolved luminescence has been used for the analysis of antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolones in serum, urine, and tissue and TC in biological fluids.

AB  - Complaints about Canada geese in Ohio have increased nearly 400% in the past decade, with 732 recorded in 2001. Harassment techniques such as pyrotechnics and mylar flagging have been used to reduce goose conflicts but are frequently ineffective, and initial experiments indicated that laser harassment may disperse Canada geese. We evaluated whether lasers could cause geese to abandon urban sites, the duration of site abandonment, and dispersal distance of harassed geese. One hundred ninety geese were banded and collared in June 2001 at 6 sites in northeast Ohio. Radio transmitters were attached to 40 collars. We conducted nocturnal laser harassment of geese in four 5 day periods from July 2001 through January 2002 at 3 treatment sites. No harassment occurred at 3 control sites. One day surveys of collared geese were conducted 2 weeks prior to the 5 day hazing period, during the hazing period, and 2 weeks post-hazing. Geese were located through radio telemetry using air- and ground-based receivers during all 3 time periods. Laser harassment caused geese to leave the site after a mean of 4.6 (SE = 0.8) minutes of treatment. Over the 5-day treatment period, the mean number of geese observed at night decreased from 92 to 14; however, we found no differences between numbers of geese observed 2 weeks prior to initial harassment and those observed post-harassment. Telemetry indicated that geese moved <2.0 km from all but one banding site. Laser harassment was more effective in reducing goose numbers at night rather than reducing numbers during the day. Site characteristics such as ambient lighting, human disturbance, and size of pond appeared to be the primary factors determining the laser's effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dietary copper deficiency increases the accumulation of circulating neutrophils in the rat lung microcirculation. This process includes neutrophil adhesion to, migration along, and emigration though the vascular endothelium. The current study was designed to examine the role of copper in each of these steps. Neutrophils were isolated from rats fed either a copper-adequate (CuA, 6.1 µg Cu/g diet) or copper-deficient diet (CuD, 0.3 µg Cu/g diet) for 4 weeks. First, transient and firm adhesion of neutrophils to P-selectin in a flow chamber showed there were more adhered CuD neutrophils than CuA ones. This effect is probably caused by the increased expression of CD11b that was observed in the current study. Second, the evaluation of neutrophil migration under agarose showed that the CuD neutrophils moved farther than the CuA group in response to IL-8 but not fMLP; this suggests an increased sensitivity to a CD11/CD18-independent signalling pathway. Third, the contractile mechanism of endothelial cells was studied. Elevated F-actin formation in Cu-chelated lung microvascular endothelial cells suggests that neutrophil emigration may be promoted by enhanced cytoskeletal reorganization of the endothelium during copper deficiency. Combined, these results support the theory that dietary copper deficiency has proinflammatory effects on both neutrophils and the microvascular endothelium that promote neutrophil−endothelial interactions.

AB  - The diversity of vegetative compatibility (vc) types and mating type was estimated in populations of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, throughout Macedonia and from selected areas in Greece. Nearly all of the 786 isolates (94%) from Macedonia were in a single vc type, EU-12; all 379 isolates from Greece were EU-12. Only six of 20 populations in Macedonia had more than one vc type. The diversity of vc types in the most diverse populations of Macedonia was comparable with the least diverse populations found previously in Italy. All but six of the 313 isolates assayed had the same mating type, MAT-1, and no perithecia of Cryphonectria parasitica were observed in any population. These results lead to the conclusion that sexual reproduction does not occur in these populations. The lack of vc type diversity may indicate a high potential for the spread of hypoviruses and successful biological control with transmissible hypovirulence. However, if sexual reproduction should occur in Macedonian populations, up to 32 vc types would be possible by recombination among vegetative incompatibility loci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Remote sensing, geographic information systems, and modeling have combined to produce a virtual explosion of growth in ecological investigations and applications that are explicitly spatial and temporal Of all remotely sensed data, those acquired by Landsat sensors have played the most pivotal role in spatial and temporal scaling. Modern terrestrial ecology relies on remote sensing for modeling biogeochemical cycles and for characterizing land cover, vegetation biophysical attributes, forest structure, and fragmentation in relation to biodiversity. Given the more than 30-year record of Landsat data, mapping land and vegetation cover change and using the derived surfaces in ecological models is becoming commonplace. In this article, we summarize this large body of work, highlighting the unique role of Landsat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The central importance of protein phosphorylation in plant defense responses has been demonstrated by the isolation of several disease-resistance genes that encode protein kinases. In addition, there are many reports of changes in protein phosphorylation accompanying plant responses to pathogens. In contrast, little is known about the role of protein dephosphorylation in regulating plant defenses. We report that expression of the LePP2Ac1 gene, which encodes a catalytic subunit of the heterotrimeric protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Ac), is rapidly induced in resistant tomato leaves upon inoculation with an avirulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. By analysis of PP2Ac gene sequences from several plant species, we found that PP2Ac genes cluster into two subfamilies, with LePP2Ac1 belonging to subfamily I. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in Nicotiana benthamiana was used to suppress expression of genes from subfamily I and not from subfamily II. The PP2Ac-silenced plants had greatly decreased PP2A activity, constitutively expressed pathogenesis-related ( PR) genes, and developed localized cell death in stems and leaves. In addition, the plants were more resistant to a virulent strain of P. syringae pv. tabaci and showed an accelerated hypersensitive response (HR) to effector proteins from both P. syringae and the fungal pathogen, Cladosporium fulvum. Thus, catalytic subunits of PP2Ac subfamily I act as negative regulators of plant defense responses likely by de-sensitizing protein phosphorylation cascades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To characterize pregnant women's food safety practices, to evaluate the impact of existing educational messages on the risks and prevention of listeriosis, and to identify preferred delivery methods for educational initiatives. Design: Eight focus group discussions conducted with pregnant women in 4 locations. Setting: Focus group discussions led by moderators using a prepared moderator guide. Participants: Purposeful sampling was used to select the 63 pregnant women who participated in riffs study. The focus groups were segmented by location and education level. Phenomenon of Interest: Food safety knowledge and food-handling practices, food safety, practices during pregnancy, attitudes toward listeriosis brochure, and preferred delivery methods. Analysis: Focus group discussions were videotaped and audiorecorded. Detailed summaries of each discussion were prepared and systematically analyzed to identify common themes within and across groups. Results: Participants were not aware of the risks of listeriosis and recommended practices for listeriosis prevention; thus, they were not taking precautions during their pregnancy to prevent listeriosis.

AB  - Pearly mussels (Unionacea) are widespread, abundant, and important in freshwater ecosystems around the world. Catastrophic declines in pearly mussel populations in North America and other parts of the world have led to a flurry of research on mussel biology, ecology, and conservation. Recent research on mussel feeding, life history, spatial patterning, and declines has augmented, modified, or overturned long-held ideas about ecology of these annuals. Pearly mussel research has begun to benefit from and contribute to current ideas about suspension feeding, life-history theory, metapopulations, flow refuges, spatial patterning and its effects, and management of endangered species. At the same time, significant gaps  in understanding and apparent paradoxes in pearls' mussel ecology have been exposed. To conserve remaining mussel populations, scientists and  managers must simultaneously and aggressively pursue both rigorous research and conservation actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hierarchical and branching river networks interact with dynamo, Watershed disturbances, such as fires, storms, and floods, to impose a spatial and  temporal organization on the nonuniform distribution of riverine habitats, with consequences for biological diversity anal productivity. Abrupt  changes in water and sediment flux occur at channel confluences to river networks and trigger changes in channel and floodplain morphology This  observation, when taken in the context of a river network as a population of channels and their confluences, allows the development of testable predictions about how basin size,  basin shape. drainage density, and network geometry interact to regulate the spatial distribution of physical diversity  in channel and riparian attributes throughout a river basin. The spatial structure of river networks also regulates how stochastic watershed disturbances influence the morphology and ages of fluvial features found at confluences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - West Nile virus (WNV) has spread rapidly across North America, resulting in human deaths and in the deaths of untold numbers of birds, mammals, and reptiles. The virus has reached Central America and the Caribbean and may spread to Hawaii and South America. Although tens of thousands of birds have died, and studies of some bird species show local declines, few regionwide declines can be attributed to WNV. Predicting future impacts of WNV on wildlife, and pinpointing what drives epidemics, will require substantial additional research into host susceptibility, reservoir competency, and linkages between climate, mosquitoes, and disease. Such work will entail a collaborative effort between scientists in governmental research groups, in surveillance and control programs, and in nongovernmental organizations. West Nile virus was not the first, and it will not be the last, exotic disease to be introduced to the New World. Its spread in North America highlights the need to strengthen animal monitoring programs and to integrate them with research on disease ecology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To determine whether moderately high or low intakes of zinc adversely affect the copper status of postmenopausal women to result in unfavorable changes in calcium and magnesium metabolism and other indicators of bone turnover. After a 10-day equilibration period in which the diet provided 31.5 μmol (2 mg) Cu and 137.7 μmol (9 mg) Zn/8.4 MJ (2000 kcal), the subjects were randomly divided into two groups, with one group fed the basal diet supplemented to provide15.7 μmol (1 mg) Cu/8.4 MJ, and the other group fed the same diet supplemented to provide 47.2 μmol (3 mg) Cu/ 8.4 MJ. After equilibration, both groups were fed the basal diet with no zinc supplemented (provided 45.9 μmol [3 mg] Zn/ 8.4 MJ) for 90 days; this was followed by another 10-day equilibration period before the basal diet was supplemented with zinc to provide 811 μmol (53 mg)/8.4 MJ for 90 days. The metabolic unit of the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND, USA. A total of 28 postmenopausal women recruited by advertisement throughout the United States of America. Among them, 25 women (64.9 + 6.7 y) completed the study; 21 as designed. The moderately high intake compared to the low intake of zinc increased the excretion of magnesium in the feces and urine, which resulted in a decreased magnesium balance. In the women fed low dietary copper, plasma osteocalcin was higher during the low-zinc than high-zinc dietary period. The urinary excretion of N-telopeptides was increased and the serum calcitonin concentration was decreased by high dietary zinc regardless of dietary copper. A moderately high intake of zinc (811 μmol/day; 53 mg/day) did not induce changes in copper metabolism that resulted in unfavorable changes in bone or mineral metabolism. However, low dietary zinc (45.9 μmol/day; 3 mg/day) apparently resulted in undesirable changes in circulating calcitonin and osteocalcin. As a moderately high intake of zinc decreased magnesium balance, further study of the possibility that a high intake of zinc is a health concern for individuals consuming less than the recommended amounts of magnesium is warranted.

AB  - The genome of nearly all chickens contains various DNA proviral insertions of retroviruses of subgroup E avian leukosis virus (ALVE). However, the elimination or control of ALVE gene expression is desirable to improve productivity, to improve resistance to avian leukosis virus (ALV)-induced tumours, and to develop safer live virus vaccines in chick embryos and cultured chick cells. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and polymerase chain reaction methods are used to define the presence of ALVE genes; and the expression of ALVE in chicken plasma or on cells, and the susceptibility of cells to ALVE is determined by flow cytometry using a specific (R2) antibody. ADOL line 0 chickens have been selected to be free of ALVE genes, while being resistant (i.e. lack receptors to ALVE), but susceptible to exogenous ALV (i.e. ALVA, ALVB, ALVC and ALVJ). To develop improved line 0-type chickens, ADOL line 0 was outcrossed to a commercial line that had one ALVE gene and evidence for ALVE resistance. Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) challenge was used to confirm resistance of F 1 chickens to ALVE, and susceptibility of F 2 breeders to ALVA and ALVB using test chicks produced by matings to line 7 2 . Selected F 2 breeders were resistant to ALVE, but susceptible to exogenous ALVA, ALVB, ALVC and ALVJ, based on challenge tests of progeny chick cells using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The new line, 0 1 , has evidence for improved egg size, productivity, fertility and hatchability. Similar procedures may be used for development of productive ALVE free chicken lines with preferred ALV susceptibility traits. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El genoma de casi todos los pollos contiene inserciones de ADN proviral de los retrovirus del subgrupo E del virus de la leucosis aviar (ALVE). Aun así, la eliminación o el control de la expresión del gen ALVE es deseable para mejorar la productividad, la resistencia a los tumores inducidos por el virus de leucosis aviar (ALV), y para desarrollar vacunas vivas más seguras en embriones de pollo y en cultivos celulares de pollo. Las técnicas de RFLP y PCR se usan para demostrar la presencia de genes de ALVE y la expresión de ALVE en plasma de pollo o en células, y la susceptibilidad de las células al ALVE se determina mediante citometría de flujo utilizando un anticuerpo especifico (R2). La línea 0 ADOL de pollos se ha seleccionado como una línea libre de genes ALVE , ya que es resistente, es decir, no tiene receptors para ALVE, pero es susceptible a los ALV exógenos, es decir, ALVA, ALVB, ALVC y ALVJ. Para desarrollar pollos mejorados de la línea 0, la línea 0 ADOL se cruzó con una línea comercial que únicamente tenía un gen de ALVE , y evidencias de resistencia a ALVE. El desafío experimental con el virus del sarcoma de Rous (RSV) confirmó la resistencia de los pollos F 1 al ALVE, y la susceptibilidad de los reproductores F 2 al ALVA y ALVB utilizando pollitos de prueba obtenidos mediante emparejamiento con la línea 7 2 . Reproductores F 2 seleccionados fueron resistentes al ALVE, pero susceptibles a los virus exógenos ALVA, ALVB, ALVC y ALVJ, en base a los desafíos experimentales de la progenie mediante un ELISA. La nueva línea, 0 1 , evidenció una mejora en el tamaño de los huevos, productividad, fertilidad e incubabilidad. Se podrían utilizar procedimientos similares para desarrollar líneas productivas de pollos libres de ALVE con diferentes susceptibilidades a ALV. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le génome de presque tous les poulets contient différentes insertions provirales d'ADN de rétrovirus de la leucose aviaire du sous groupe E (ALVE). Cependant, l'élimination ou le contrôle de l'expression du gène de l' ALVE est souhaitable pour améliorer la productivité et la résistance à la leucose aviaire (ALV) induisant des tumeurs, et pour développer de manière plus sûre des vaccins vivants sur œufs embryonnés et sur cellules de poulet. Les méthodes RFLP et PCR sont utilisées pour mettre en évidence la présence des gènes d'ALVE . La cytométrie en flux utilisant un anticorps spécifique (R2) est employée pour déterminer l'expression d'ALVE dans le plasma ou les cellules de poulet et la sensibilité des cellules à l'ALVE. La lignée de poulet ADOL 0 a été sélectionnée comme étant indemne de gènes d' ALVE, cependant résistante, c'est-à-dire absence de recepteurs à l'ALVE, mais sensible aux ALV exogènes, c'est-à-dire ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, et ALVJ. Pour développer la lignée de poulet de type 0 améliorée, la lignée ADOL 0 a été croisée avec une lignée commerciale qui avait un gène d'ALVE et qui était résistante à l'ALVE. Le virus d'épreuve du sarcome de roux a été utilisé pour confirmer la résistance des poulets F 1 à l'ALVE, et la sensibilité des reproducteurs F 2 à l'ALVA et l'ALVB en utilisant le test des poulets issus après croisement avec la lignée 7 2 . Les reproducteurs F 2 sélectionnés étaient résistants à l'ALVE mais sensibles aux ALVA, ALVB, ALVC et ALVJ exogènes basé sur des tests d'épreuve des cellules des poulets de la descendance en utilisant un test ELISA. Les performances de la nouvelle lignée 0 1 , ont été améliorées en terme de taille des œufs, productivité, fertilité et éclosabilité. Des procédures similaires peuvent être utilisées pour le développement de lignées de poulets indemnes d'ALVE avec des caractères sélectionnés de sensibilité à ALV. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Das Genom nahezu aller Hühner enthält verschiedene virale DNS-Insertionen von Retroviren der Subgruppe E des aviären Leukosevirus (ALVE). Die Eliminierung oder Kontrolle der ALVE -Genexpression ist jedoch wünschenswert, um die Produktivität und die Resistenz gegen ALV-induzierte Tumorbildung zu verbessern und um sicherere Lebendvirusvakzinen in Hühnerembryonen und Hühnerzellkulturen herstellen zu können. Zum Nachweis von ALVE -Genen wurden RFLP- und PCR-Methoden benutzt. Die Expression von ALVE im Hühnerplasma oder auf Zellen sowie die Empfänglichkeit von Zellen für ALVE wurde im Flowzytometer unter Verwendung eines spezifischen Antikörpers (R2) bestimmt. Hühner der ADOL-Linie 0 waren auf die Freiheit von ALVE -Genen selektiert worden. Gleichzeitig waren sie resistent gegenüber ALVE d.h. ihnen fehlten die Rezeptoren, jedoch empfänglich für exogenes ALV, d.h. für ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, und ALVJ. Zur Verbesserung von Hühnern des Linie-0-Typs wurde die ADOL-Linie 0 mit einer kommerziellen Linie, die ein ALVE -Gen und den Nachweis für die ALVE-Resistenz hatte, fremdgekreuzt. Belastungsinfektionen mit Rous-Sarkom-Virus wurden durchgeführt, um die Resistenz der F 1 -Hühner gegen ALVE zu bestätigen. Die Empfänglichkeit der F 2 -Zuchttiere für ALVA und ALVB wurde unter Verwendung von Testküken aus der Paarung mit Linie 7 2 ermittelt. Basierend auf Belastungstests mit Zellen der Nachkommen im ELISA wurden die selektierten F 2 -Zuchttiere als resistent gegen ALVE, aber empfänglich für ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, und ALVJ bezeichnet. Die neue Linie 0 1 wies eine höhere Legeleistung mit verbesserter Eigröße sowie Befruchtungs- und Schlupfrate auf. Ähnliche Methoden können für die Entwicklung von leistungsstarken ALVE-freien Hühnerlinien mit bestimmten ALV-Empfänglichkeits-Erbeigenschaften angewendet werden. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - OBJECTIVE:: To describe associations between eating behaviors, dietary intake, physical activity, attitudes toward diet and health, sociodemographic variables and body mass index (BMI) among women and children, and differences by household income. DESIGN:: Data from the 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS) were examined using multivariate regression to estimate the associations between BMI and behavioral and environmental variables among women and children. SUBJECTS:: CSFII 1994-1996 is representative of the US population. DHKS surveyed CSFII respondents 20?y of age and over. Our samples consisted of 2419 adult women and 1651 school-age children. MEASUREMENTS:: CSFII respondents reported 24?h recalls of all food intakes on 2 nonconsecutive days and their personal and household characteristics, including self-reported height and weight. DHKS collected data on knowledge and attitudes toward dietary guidance and health from CSFII adult respondents. RESULTS:: Significant correlations between women's BMI and age, race, dietary patterns, TV watching, and smoking was observed among women from both low- and high-income households. Beverage consumption, eating out, the importance of maintaining healthy weight, and exercise were correlated with BMI only among women from high-income households. Among children, age, race, income, and mother's BMI were significantly correlated with child BMI. CONCLUSIONS:: Among women, the associations between some behavioral and environmental factors and BMI differ by household income. Intervention programs need to target specific eating and physical activity behaviors to promote a healthy body weight.International Journal of Obesity (2004) 28, 536-542. doi:10.1038/sj.ijo.0802604 Published online 10 February 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The humoral immune responses and host protection of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) were determined after immunization with live theronts and sonicated trophonts. Immunizations with live theronts or sonicated trophonts were carried out by both bath immersion and intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Cutaneous and serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels and anti-Ich antibodies were measured 12 and 21 days post-immunization. The level of Ich infection and survival of catfish were determined after theront challenge. Cutaneous and serum anti-Ich antibodies were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection, or with sonicated trophonts administered by i.p. injection, than in fish immunized with sonicated trophonts by immersion, with bovine serum albumin by i.p. injection, or non-immunized controls. Host protection was noted only in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection or with sonicated trophonts by i.p. injection. There was a positive correlation between higher levels of anti-Ich antibodies and host survival in the immunized fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sterile insect technique (SIT) programs are designed to eradicate pest species by releasing mass-reared, sterile insects into an infested area. The first major implementation of SIT was the New World Screwworm Eradication Program, which successfully eliminated the New World screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), from the Continental US, Mexico and much of Central America. Ionizing radiation is currently used for sterilization, but transgenic insect techniques could replace this method, providing a safer, more cost-effective alternative. Genetic transformation methods have been demonstrated in NWS, and verified by Southern blot hybridization, PCR and sequencing of element insertion junctions. A lethal insertional mutation and enhancer detection-like phenotypic expression variations are presented and discussed. In addition to supporting the eradication efforts, transformation methods offer potential means to identify genes and examine gene function in NWS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass releases furan and phenolic compounds, which are toxic to microorganisms used for subsequent fermentation. In this study, we isolated new microorganisms for depletion of inhibitors in lignocellulosic acid hydrolysates. A sequential enrichment strategy was used to isolate microorganisms from soil. Selection was carried out in a defined mineral medium containing a mixture of ferulic acid (5 mM), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF, 15 mM), and furfural (20 mM) as the carbon and energy sources, followed by an additional transfer into a corn stover hydrolysate (CSH) prepared using dilute acid. Subsequently, based on stable growth on these substrates, six isolates—including five bacteria related to Methylobacterium extorquens, Pseudomonas sp, Flavobacterium indologenes, Acinetobacter sp., Arthrobacter aurescens, and one fungus, Coniochaeta ligniaria—were chosen. All six isolates depleted toxic compounds from defined medium, but only C. ligniaria C8 (NRRL 30616) was effective at eliminating furfural and 5-HMF from CSH. C. ligniaria NRRL 30616 may be useful in developing a bioprocess for inhibitor abatement in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thamnurgus euphorbiae overwinters as adults in dry stems of Euphorbia characias until the end of March before exiting through circular holes cut with their mandibles. Females and males appeared in the field at the same time, and the first pairs were observed on 28 March on new stems of E. characias having the open-flower at the beginning of its development. Throughout the rest of April it was possible to find and collect the fairly abundant adults. Mating occurs on new stems of the host plant and females walk up towards the top of the stem and start to mine the centre of it in order to penetrate. Oviposition occurs in new stems and eggs are laid singly along the interior of the stem; females laid 35–85 eggs. Upon hatching, larvae started feeding on vascular bundles and the inner cortex. There are three larval instars, and pupation occurred in the stem of the host plant; this insect is univoltine. Thamnurgus euphorbiae has been accepted by the Technical Advisory Group for Biological Control Agents of Weeds for release as a biological control agent of leafy spurge in the US. Prior to this study the biology of T. euphorbiae was unknown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Conventional water quality standards have been successful in reducing the concentration of toxic substances in US waters. However, conventional standards are based on simple thresholds and are therefore poorly structured to address human-caused imbalances in dynamic, natural water quality parameters, such as nutrients, sediment, and temperature. A more applicable type of water quality standard---a "regime standard"-would describe desirable distributions of conditions over space and time within a stream network. By mandating the protection and restoration of the aquatic ecosystem dynamics that are required to support beneficial uses in streams, well-designed regime standards would facilitate more effective strategies for management of natural water quality parameters.

AB  - The great challenge now facing forest ecosystem scientists and managers is to address the need for multiple ecosystem services over relatively large spatial and temporal scales (e.g., whole national forests over 50- to 100-year time frames). Here we present a new conceptual model for the study of forest ecosystems that aids in the analysis of factors that influence ecosystem structure, function, and services. We then go on to show how this model has been applied to the long-term Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study. Our new model has three main components: (1) controllers, (2) ecosystem pattern and process, and (3) ecosystem functions and services. The controllers are the factors that drive ecosystem pattern and process; we split them into two groups, state factors and variable-stochastic factors. This new model will help to ensure a comprehensive approach to forest ecosystem analysis and will facilitate interactions of research with policy and management at many locations.

AB  - We compared the historic and current geographical ranges of 43 North American carnivores and ungulates to identify large-scale patterns in range contractions and expansions. Seventeen of the species had experienced range contractions over more than 20% of their historic range. In areas of higher human influence, species were more likely to contract and less likely to persist. Species richness had also declined considerably since historic times. The temperate grasslands and temperate broadleaf-mixed forest biomes lost the highest average number of species, while the boreal forest and tundra showed fewer numbers of species lost. Species contractions were a result of Euro-American settlement and postsettlement development in North America. These effects have been widespread and indicate a rapid collapse of species distributions over the course of only I to 2 centuries. The results of this study can be used to improve scientists' knowledge of historical reference conditions and to provide input for wildlife reintroductions and for the creation of wildlife reserves.

AB  - Qi L, Shen H, Larson I, Barnard JR, Schaefer EJ and Ordovas JM. Genetic variation at the hormone sensitive lipase: gender-specific association with plasma lipid and glucose concentrations. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the intracellular hydrolysis of triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters, and it is involved in regulating body fat, steroidogenesis, and insulin secretion. Thus, genetic variability at the HSL locus ( LIPE) may play a significant role on lipid metabolism and the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we have examined two LIPE single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) [14672C>G in the promoter region and 17948C>T (rs1206034) on intron 2] in relation to plasma lipids, anthropometrical and glucose-related phenotypes in a population of mostly overweight and obese men (373) and women (361). In women, the 17948T allele was associated with decreased total cholesterol (TC, p = 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (LDLc, p < 0.001) and apoE concentrations (p = 0.041). Conversely, female carriers of the LIPE 14672G allele had significantly higher TC (p = 0.047), LDLc (p = 0.041), and apoE (p = 0.041) levels. Although we did not find significant associations in men, we observed that male carriers of the LIPE 14672G who did not drink alcohol showed higher glucose levels than non-carriers (p = 0.008), whereas there were no allele-related differences among drinkers (p = 0.019 for the interaction). These SNPs were not significantly associated with anthropometrical variables. In summary, variation at this locus showed gender-specific associations with lipids and glucose measures, and the latter was influenced by alcohol drinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - k.m. bischoff, t.s. edrington, t.r. callaway, k.j. genovese and d.j. nisbet. 2004. To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella isolated from a central Texas dairy calf farm that raises animals for dairy-beef production. Salmonella isolates collected from 50 faecal samples were characterized for susceptibility to 20 antimicrobial agents. Seventy per cent of the faecal samples (35 of 50) tested positive for Salmonella, and high rates of resistance to the following drugs that are commonly used for treatment of bacterial enteritis in livestock were observed: ampicillin (88%), apramycin (83%), neomycin (86%), spectinomycin (91%) and oxytetracycline (90%). No resistance to the fluoroquinolone antibiotics was observed. The most prevalent Salmonella serotype was Kinshasha (22 of 35 samples), followed by Agona (4 of 35), Newport (3 of 35), Infantis (2 of 35), Montevideo (2 of 35), Lille (1 of 35) and Newington (1 of 35). The Kinshasa, Agona, Newport and Infantis serotypes all displayed resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphamethoxazole and tetracycline, and the penta-resistance phenotype was transferable to an Escherichia coli recipient strain. Multi-drug resistant Salmonella in dairy calves pose a costly animal health problem and a potential risk to the public health. This study emphasizes the need for alternative, non-antimicrobial intervention strategies for the control of zoonotic pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although the catalytic activity of Rubisco increases with temperature, the low affinity of the enzyme for CO2 and its dual nature as an oxygenase limit the possible increase in net photosynthesis with temperature. For cotton, comparisons of measured rates of net photosynthesis with predicted rates that take into account limitations imposed by the kinetic properties of Rubisco indicate that direct inhibition of photosynthesis occurs at temperatures higher than about 30°C. Inhibition of photosynthesis by moderate heat stress (i.e. 30–42°C) is generally attributed to reduced rates of RuBP regeneration caused by disruption of electron transport activity, and specifically inactivation of the oxygen evolving enzymes of photosystem II. However, measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and metabolite levels at air-levels of CO2 indicate that electron transport activity is not limiting at temperatures that inhibit CO2 fixation. Instead, recent evidence shows that inhibition of net photosynthesis correlates with a decrease in the activation state of Rubisco in both C3 and C4 plants and that this decrease in the amount of active Rubisco can fully account for the temperature response of net photosynthesis. Biochemically, the decrease in Rubisco activation can be attributed to: (1) more rapid de-activation of Rubisco caused by a faster rate of dead-end product formation; and (2) slower re-activation of Rubisco by activase. The net result is that as temperature increases activase becomes less effective in keeping Rubisco catalytically competent. In this opinionated review, we discuss how these processes limit photosynthetic performance under moderate heat stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ribonucleases (RNases) degrade RNA and exert a major influence on gene expression during development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. RNase activity typically increases in response to pathogen attack, wounding and phosphate (Pi) deficiency. Activity also increases during senescence and other programmed cell death processes. The air pollutant ozone (O3) often induces injury and accelerated senescence in many plants, but the biochemical mechanisms involved in these responses remain unclear. The objective of this study was to determine whether RNase activity and isozyme expression was stimulated in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) flag leaves following treatment with O3. Plants were treated in open-top chambers with charcoal-filtered air (27 nmol O3 mol−1) (control) or non-filtered air plus O3 (90 nmol O3 mol−1) (O3) from seedling to reproductive stage. After exposure for 56 days, RNase activity was 2.1 times higher in flag leaf tissues from an O3-sensitive cultivar in the O3 treatment compared with the control, which generally coincided with foliar injury and lower soluble protein concentration, but not soluble leaf [Pi]. Soluble [Pi] in leaf tissue extracts from the O3 and control treatments was not significantly different. RNase activity gels indicated the presence of three major RNases and two nucleases, and their expression was enhanced by the O3 treatment. Isozymes stimulated in the O3 treatment were also stimulated in naturally senescent flag leaf tissues from plants in the control. However, soluble [Pi] in extracts from naturally senescent flag leaves was 50% lower than that found in green flag leaves in the control treatment. Thus, senescence-like pathological responses induced by O3 were accompanied by increased RNase and nuclease activities that also were observed in naturally senescent leaves. However, [Pi] in the leaf tissue samples suggested that O3-induced injury and accelerated senescence was atypical of normal senescence processes in that Pi export was not observed in O3-treated plants.

AB  - Genetic variation fuels selective change in natural and captive populations. In establishing a broodstock for selective improvement, the level of genetic diversity is an important consideration because it provides an indication of the scope for selective progress. Three domesticated strains of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), were examined at nine polymorphic microsatellite loci to assess detectable levels of allelic diversity and heterozygosity within and differentiation among the strains. A total of 126 alleles were observed to segregate into unique multilocus genotypes for each of the 152 individuals assayed. There was an average heterozygosity of 71.5% at these nine loci, and an average of 14 alleles at a locus. Each locus was represented by alleles unique to at least two of the three strains. Deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations of genotype frequencies were detected in each strain. Subsequent analysis indicated sub-structuring within strains leading to Wahlund effects that caused these deviations. Significant differences in genotype frequencies and pairwise FST values demonstrated that all strains were unique. The overall FST of 0.089 provides additional evidence of unique genetic diversity present in each strain, and agrees well with the degree of genetic variation found in rainbow trout across broad geographical ranges. The genetic diversity contributed by each population suggests that there is greater scope for selective improvement of numerous traits within a synthetic strain combining these three strains than within any individual strain.

AB  - The Lycopersicon esculentum Bs4 resistance ( R) gene specifies recognition of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria ( Xcv) strains that express the cognate AvrBs4 avirulence protein. Bs4 was isolated by positional cloning and is predicted to encode a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) protein that is homologous to tobacco N and potato Y-1 resistance proteins. Xcv infection tests demonstrate that Bs4 confers perception of AvrBs4 but not the 97% identical AvrBs3 protein. However, when delivered via Agrobacterium T-DNA transfer, both, avrBs4 and avrBs3 trigger a Bs4-dependent hypersensitive response, indicating that naturally occurring AvrBs3-homologues provide a unique experimental platform for molecular dissection of recognition specificity. Transcript studies revealed intron retention in Bs4 transcripts. Yet, an intron-deprived Bs4 derivative still mediates AvrBs4 detection, suggesting that the identified splice variants are not crucial to resistance. The L. pennellii bs4 allele, which is >98% identical to L. esculentum Bs4, has a Bs4-like exon-intron structure with exception of a splice polymorphism in intron 2 that causes truncation of the predicted bs4 protein. To test if the receptor-ligand model is a valid molecular description of Bs4-mediated AvrBs4 perception, we conducted yeast two-hybrid studies. However, a direct interaction was not observed. Defense signaling of the Bs4-governed reaction was studied in Nicotiana benthamiana by virus-induced gene silencing and showed that Bs4-mediated resistance is EDS1- and SGT1-dependent.

AB  - CONTEXT:: The prevalence of overweight (OW) among children in the United States has increased during the last three decades, but prevalence measures fail to reveal the extent to which OW children exceed the OW threshold. OBJECTIVE:: To measure the amount by which OW children exceed the OW threshold. To examine the trend in this measure over the last three decades using data with measured weights and heights. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS:: Data used for analysis are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for persons between 2 and 19?y of age from 1971 to 2000. Anthropometric measures were obtained by trained health technicians, and the sample sizes range from 4037 in 1999-2000 to 10?590 in 1988-1994. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:: The extent of OW is measured as the average amount by which each child's body mass index (BMI) exceeds their age and gender-specific OW threshold. This measure is examined by sex, age group and race/ethnicity. The OW threshold for those aged 2-19?y is defined as at or above the 95th percentile of the sex-specific BMI for age growth charts. RESULTS:: The extent of child OW has been increasing faster than the prevalence of child OW for all classifications considered in this paper, including the analysis by age, sex, race and ethnicity. The prevalence of OW for children aged 2-19?y increased by 182% between 1971-1971 and 1999-2000, while the extent of OW increased by 247% over the same time period. CONCLUSIONS:: Unlike prevalence measures, the measure of the extent of child OW is sensitive to changes in the BMI distribution of the overweight. This analysis reveals that not only have more children become OW in the last three decades, but OW children have been getting heavier.International Journal of Obesity (2004) 28, 4-9. doi:10.1038/sj.ijo.0802421 Published online 2 December 2003 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We sought to identify factors associated with adult or child hunger. Methods. Low-income housed and homeless mothers were interviewed about socioeconomic, psychosocial, health, and food sufficiency information. Multinomial logistic regression produced models predicting adult or child hunger. Results. Predictors of adult hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation and current parenting difficulties, or "hassles." Risk factors for child hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation, housing subsidies, brief local residence, having more or older children, and substandard housing. Conclusions. This study found that the odds of hunger, although affected by resource constraints in low-income female-headed families, were also worsened by mothers' poor physical and mental health. Eliminating hunger thus may require broader interventions than food programs. (Am J Public Health. 2004;94:109-115) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is a causative agent for human food poisoning cases throughout the world. The ovaries and the oviducts of the laying hens are the major sites of SE colonization from which vertical transmission to eggs occurs. In this study, Salmonella -induced changes in T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and macrophages in the ovaries and oviducts were assessed after primary and secondary experimental inoculations of laying hen with SE. Statistically significant increases in the numbers of T cells (both CD4 + and CD8 + ) and macrophages were observed 7 to 14 days after primary inoculation, followed by a peak in B-cell numbers from the 14th day post-primary inoculation onwards in the secretory areas of the oviducts. The peak in lymphocyte numbers immediately preceded a decline in the rate of SE recovery from the reproductive tract beginning at day 14. The correlation of decreased Salmonella recovery with elevated lymphocyte and macrophage numbers strongly suggests that local cell-mediated immunity is involved in controlling SE injection in the ovaries and oviducts.

AB  - Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis (SE) es el agente causal de intoxicaciones alimentarias en la especie humana en todo el mundo. Los ovarios y los oviductos de las gallinas ponedoras son los principales puntos de colonización con SE desde los cuales tiene lugar la transmisión vertical a los huevos. En este estudio se evaluaron los cambios inducidos por Salmonella en los linfocitos T, B y macrófagos en los ovarios y los oviductos tras inoculaciones experimentales primarias y secundarias con SE en gallinas ponedoras. Se observaron incrementos estadísticamente significativos de los números de células T (tanto CD4 como CD8) y macrófagos a los 7 y 14 días tras la inoculación primaria seguido de un pico en el número de células B del catorceavo día tras la inoculación primaria en adelante, en las áreas secretoras de los oviductos. El pico en el número de linfocitos precedió de forma inmediata una disminución en la proporción de SE recuperadas del tracto reproductor a partir del día 14. La correlación entre la disminución de la recuperación de Salmonella y el incremento del número de linfocitos y macrófagos sugiere claramente que la inmunidad local se encuentra involucrada en el control de la infección por SE en los ovarios y oviductos.

Dans cette étude, les changements, induits par Salmonella , au niveau des lymphocytes T, des lymphocytes B et des macrophages des ovaires et des oviductes sont évalués après une première et une seconde inoculations expérimentales des poules pondeuses avec SE. Des augmentations significatives statistiquement concernant le nombre de cellules T (CD4+ et CD8+) et des macrophages ont été observés du 7 ème au 14 ème jour après la première inoculation, suivies par un pic du nombre de cellules B à partir du 14 ème jour après la première inoculation au niveau des zones sécrétrices des oviductes. Le pic du nombre de lymphocytes précède immédiatement un déclin du taux de réisolement de SE à partir de l'appareil reproducteur à partir du 14 ème jour. La corrélation entre la diminution des isolements de SE et le nombre élevé de lymphocytes et de macrophages suggère fortement que l'immunité cellulaire locale est impliquée dans le contrôle de l'infection à SE des ovaires et oviductes.

AB  - The postharvest quality of raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) was evaluated after treatment with several natural volatile compounds and storage at 0, 10 or 20 °C. At high storage temperature (20 °C), raspberries deteriorated rapidly and none of the natural volatile compounds that were used were effective in extending storage life of the fruit. At low storage temperature (0 °C), little difference could be discerned among the various volatile treatments. However, at 10 °C storage, raspberries treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ), allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), tea tree oil (TTO), or absolute ethyl alcohol had less decay. MJ- and TTO-treated fruit also maintained higher levels of sugars, organic acids and oxygen radical absorbance capacity compared with untreated fruit. Samples treated with acetic acid or vinegar vapour did not differ from control fruit. Measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations within the containers during storage revealed that none of the treatments caused accumulation or depletion of these gases to a level that would be harmful to raspberries. Colour measurements of the berries showed that all raspberry fruit became darker and less red after storage, but fruit treated with MJ were found to have the highest intensity of red colour while AITC application caused the berries to appear lighter in colour.

AB  - Sunshine bass, a hybrid of female white bass Morone chrysops (Rafinesque) and male striped bass M. saxatilis (Walbaum), fingerling production occurs almost exclusively in ponds. To increase production and maintain year-round production in temperate climates, indoor tank culture is required. While tank production of fingerlings has been demonstrated, little is known about feeding requirements. Sunshine bass larvae, stocked at 75 L−1 in 100 L of brackish water, were fed sequentially with rotifers Brachionus plicatilis cultured with a Nannochloropis algae paste and enriched with highly unsaturated fatty acids, decapsulated Artemia nauplii, and a microencapsulated commercial diet. The larvae in one treatment (three replicates) were initially fed rotifers at a daily rate of 20 mL−1, then nauplii at an initial rate of 2 mL−1, and then the commercial diet at 1 g. Larvae in two other treatments received two and three times as much food daily. The highest feeding rate resulted in a survival (52.9%) that was significantly higher than the survival rate (22.4%) of larvae fed the least. The total biomass produced was the highest in the treatment receiving the most food. The lowest feeding rate produced the least fish, but they were the heaviest. The intermediate feeding rate produced the shortest fish (11.3 mm). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study relates preharvest and harvest practises to postharvest quality of maize in Benin, West Africa. Fungal infection and aflatoxin levels were evaluated in 300 farmers’ stores in four agro-ecological zones over 2 years (1993–1995), at the beginning of storage (sample A) and 6 months later (sample B). Aspergillus flavus infected 10–20% of the kernels in sample A (1993–1994). In sample B, 54–79% of the kernels were infected with A. flavus. In 1994–1995, A. flavus infection was higher in sample A (27–47%) than B (8–26%). Fusarium species were found in 38–58% of the kernels in sample A in both years, but decreased slightly to 29–51% in sample B. Significant agroecozonal effects existed within sampling, but were not consistent between samplings and years. Of the total number of samples collected (744), 38.8% were found to be aflatoxin-positive, with an average of 105 parts per billion (ppb) and 60% of the aflatoxin-positive samples having a contamination approximately 20 ppb, the intervention level recommended by the World Health Organization. Factors associated with increased aflatoxin were: planting local maize varieties in southern Benin, intercropping with cowpea, groundnut, or cassava, use of urea-fertilizer, damage to maize in the field, prolonged harvesting, long drying periods in the field, and winnowing. Practices that reduced aflatoxin contamination were: planting improved varieties in northern Benin, mixed cropping with vegetables, use of NPK-fertilizer, drying of harvested cobs for 60–90 days, drying ears without the husk, sorting out of poor quality ears.

AB  - Most commonly used hyperaccumulator plants for phytoextraction of metals evolved on soils where moisture is limited throughout much of the year. As these plant species are commercialized for use, they are frequently moved from the point of evolution to locations where environmental conditions may be significantly different. Greatest among these potential differences is soil moisture. The objective of this study was therefore to determine whether these plants could grow in soils with much higher soil moisture and whether they would continue to hyperaccumulate metals as soils approach saturation. We examined extractable soil metal concentrations, plant growth, and metal accumulation for the Ni hyperaccumulators, Alyssum murale and Berkheya coddii and the Zn hyperaccumulators Thlaspi caerulescens cultivars AB300 and AB336. Non-hyperaccumulating control species for each were also examined. In general, extractable soil concentrations of Ni decreased with increasing soil moisture content. Few significant effects related to Zn extractability were observed for any of the soil moisture treatments. The biomass of all tested species was generally greater at higher soil moisture and inhibited at low soil moisture. Further, plants accumulated large amounts of metals from soil at higher soil moisture. Highest foliar concentrations of Zn or Ni were found at the two highest WHCs of 80 and 100%. These results show that hyperaccumulators grow well under conditions of high soil moisture content and that they continue to hyperaccumulate metals. Thus, growing Thlaspi, Alyssum, and Berkheya for commercial phytoextraction under nonnative conditions is appropriate and suggests that this technology may be applied to a wide and diverse range of soil types, climatic conditions, and irrigation regimes.

AB  - Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis interacts with macrophages and epithelial cells in the alveolar space of the lung, where it is able to invade and replicate in both cell types. M. tuberculosis -associated cytotoxicity to these cells has been well documented, but the mechanisms of host cell death are not well understood. We examined the induction of apoptosis and necrosis of human macrophages (U937) and type II alveolar epithelial cells (A549) by virulent (H37Rv) and attenuated (H37Ra) M. tuberculosis strains. Apoptosis was determined by both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay , whereas necrosis was evaluated by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Both virulent and attenuated M. tuberculosis induced apoptosis in macrophages; however, the attenuated strain resulted in significantly more apoptosis than the virulent strain after 5 days of infection. In contrast, cytotoxicity of alveolar cells was the result of necrosis, but not apoptosis. Although infection with M. tuberculosis strains resulted in apoptosis of 14% of the cells on the monolayer, cell death associated with necrosis was observed in 59% of alveolar epithelial cells after 5 days of infection. Infection with M. tuberculosis suppressed apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells induced by the kinase inhibitor, staurosporine. Because our findings suggest that M. tuberculosis can modulate the apoptotic response of macrophages and epithelial cells, we carried out an apoptosis pathway-specific cDNA microarray analysis of human macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells. Whereas the inhibitors of apoptosis, bcl-2 and Rb , were upregulated over 2.5-fold in infected (48 h) alveolar epithelial cells, the proapoptotic genes, bad and bax , were downregulated. The opposite was observed when U937 macrophages were infected with M. tuberculosis . Upon infection of alveolar epithelial cells with M. tuberculosis , the generation of apoptosis, as determined by the expression of caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-10, was inhibited. Inhibition of replication of intracellular bacteria resulted in an increase in apoptosis in both cell types. Our results showed that the differential induction of apoptosis between macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells represents specific strategies of M. tuberculosis for survival in the host.

AB  - Summary Researchers are beginning to understand how some plant genotypes can maintain reasonable growth and yields under low soil Zn, a trait termed zinc efficiency (ZE). Several studies have shown no correlation between ZE and root Zn uptake, Zn translocation to shoot, or shoot Zn accumulation. Furthermore, it has not been possible to conclusively link differences in leaf subcellular Zn compartmentation with ZE. However, biochemical Zn utilization, including the ability to maintain the activity of Zn requiring enzymes in response to Zn deficiency may be a key component of ZE. The next logical step in investigations of this trait is research on the genetic and molecular basis for ZE, in order to better understand the relationship between Zn utilization and ZE, and to identify the gene(s) controlling ZE. Progress in this research area could provide the knowledge to facilitate the engineering of Zn-efficient plant varieties, which could help both crop production on marginal soils as well as possibly improve the micronutrient density of food crops to help address significant human nutrition problems related to micronutrient deficiency.

AB  - ABSTRACT The hydraulic limitation hypothesis proposes that (1) reduced growth in taller trees is caused by decreased photosynthesis resulting from a decrease in hydraulic conductance promoted by a longer root-to-leaf flow path, and (2) this mechanism reduces stand productivity after canopy closure. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the physiology of 7 m (1 year) and 26 m (5 year) Eucalyptus saligna plantations where above-ground productivity for the 26 m trees was approximately 69% of that for the 7 m trees, and water and nutrients were not limiting. The study compared whole tree physiology [water flux (Q l ), average crown conductance (G T ), crown hydraulic conductance per unit leaf area (K L ), carbon isotope discrimination (δ 13 C)] and leaf physiology under light saturation (leaf water potential at the canopy top (Ψ LEAF ), photosynthetic capacity (A max ), and photosynthesis (A ) and stomatal conductance (g s ). K L was 50% lower in the taller trees, but whole tree Q l and G T were the same for the 7 m and 26 m trees. Photosynthetic capacity was the same for leaves at the canopy top, but δ 13 C was -1.8‰ lower for the 26 m trees. A and g s were either lower in the taller trees or equal, depending on sampling date. The taller trees maintained 0.8 MPa lower Ψ LEAF during the day and had 2.6-times higher sapwood area per unit leaf area; these factors compensated for the effects of increased height and gravitational potential in the taller trees to maintain higher G T . The hydraulic limitation hypothesis (as originally stated) failed to explain the sharp decline in net primary productivity after canopy closure in this study. The effects of increased height appear to be a universal hydraulic problem for trees, but compensation mitigated these effects and maintained Q l and G T in the present study. Compensation may induce other problems (such as lower Ψ LEAF or higher respiratory costs) that could reduce carbon gain or shift carbon allocation, and future studies of hydraulic limitation should consider compensation and associated carbon costs. In this study, the combination of similar G T and lower δ 13 C for the 26 m trees suggests that total crown photosynthesis was lower for the 26 m trees, perhaps a result of the lower Ψ LEAF .

AB  - Abstract Aims: To evaluate the suitability of using sterile water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for preservation of bacteria pathogenic to plants or humans. Methods and Results: The stationary-phase bacterial cells collected from rich agar media were transferred to 10 ml of sterile water or PBS (pH 7·2) containing KH2 PO4 , 15·44 μ m; NaCl, 1·55 mm; Na2 HPO4 , 27·09 μ m in a screw-cap tube. The tubes were sealed with parafilm membranes and stored in the dark and at room temperature. Almost all the bacteria tested (148 strains), including Pseudomonas fluorescens , P. viridiflava , Erwinia spp., Xanthomonas campestris , Cytophaga johnsonae , Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica , Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus , survived in water for at least several months and up to 16 years. A vast majority of the Gram-negative bacteria tested survived equally well in water and in PBS for at least 30 weeks. However, the populations of two Gram-positive bacteria [G(+)], L. monocytogenes and Staph. aureus , declined more rapidly in water than in PBS. Conclusions: Plant- and human-pathogenic bacteria can be preserved in pure water or PBS for several years. G(+) bacteria appear to survive better in PBS than in water. Significance and Impact of the Study: The method described here is a simple and economical means for preservation of bacterial cultures, which is especially useful for laboratories not equipped with the lyophilizer or ultra-low freezer. Long-term survival of food-borne pathogens in water underlines the importance of water as a potential vehicle for transmitting the diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary The acidic soils of temperate forests and some pastures on former forest land characteristically contain large amounts of aluminium and hydrogen ions and small amounts of calcium and magnesium ions. The relative importance of these potential toxicity factors are assessed from published data from soils collected in the United States and Europe. Activities of ions in the soil solutions and at the surfaces of root-cell plasma membranes were computed with electrostatic models. Activities of Al3+ in soil solutions ({Al3+ }) peaked at pH 4.1, and Al3+ activities at the surface of the plasma membrane ({Al3+ }0 ) achieved a broad maximum between pH 4.1 and 4.8; thus, Al3+ intoxication is likely to be more severe in soils at pH 4.1 than in more acidic ones. Intoxication (assessed by root elongation) correlated somewhat ambiguously with ion activities, but Al3+ - and H+ -induced depletion of Ca2+ and Mg2+ , or both, from the cell surface appears to play a role in toxicity. By contrast, experiments in solution culture, where intercorrelation among {Al3+ }, {H+ }, and {Ca2+ } could be avoided, clearly demonstrated the following extrinsic and intrinsic effects. 1 The ions Al3+ and H+ are intrinsic toxicants. 2 They are also extrinsic toxicants because of the electrostatic displacement of Ca2+ from the surface of the plasma membrane. 3 They are extrinsic ameliorants because each electrostatically displaces the other from the surface of the plasma membrane. 4 The ion Ca2+ is an extrinsic ameliorant because of the electrostatic displacement of Al3+ and H+ from the surface of the plasma membrane. 5 It is an intrinsic ameliorant of intrinsic H+ toxicity, but not intrinsic Al3+ toxicity. 6 It meets an intrinsic requirement. 7 The ion Mg2+ resembles Ca2+ in item 4 but not items 5 and 6 in short-term cultures. In acidic soils, Al3+ may prevent H+ from becoming an intrinsic toxicant (item 3) and may induce an insufficiency of Ca2+ and Mg2+ (item 2). These findings have implications for the mechanisms by which woodland plants tolerate very acidic soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Aims: To determine whether lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used in inoculants for silage can survive in rumen fluid (RF), and to identify those that survive best. Methods and Results: Twelve commercial silage inoculants were added at 107 CFU ml-1 to strained RF (SRF) taken from dairy cows, with and without 5 g l-1 glucose and incubated in vitro at 39°C. Changes in pH, LAB numbers and fermentation products were monitored for 72 h. In the inoculated RF with glucose, the pH decreased and numbers of LAB increased. The inoculants varied with regard to their effect on pH change and growth. In the SRF, both with and without glucose, the pH values of the inoculated samples were generally higher than those of the uninoculated controls throughout most of the incubation period. This may suggest a positive effect on the rumen environment. Conclusions: LAB used in silage inoculants can survive in RF in vitro . Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first step in studying the probiotic potential of silage LAB inoculants for dairy cattle. The survival of these LAB in RF may enable them to interact with rumen microorganisms and to affect rumen functionality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Fish which survive a sublethal ichthyophthiriasis acquire protective immunity against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet (Ich). This study evaluated the protective effect of cutaneous antibody secreted by channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), immune to Ich on cohabited non-immune catfish. Non-immune and immune fish controls were separately maintained and infected with theronts. The Ich infection was assessed by scoring 0, <50, 50–100, and >100 trophonts fish-1 at 5 days post-infection. The results of infection showed that cohabited fish at the ratio of 15 non-immune to two immune fish had <50 trophonts fish-1 . Eighty per cent of the cohabited fish at the ratio of 10 non-immune to two immune fish showed 0 or <50 trophonts fish-1 . The 76% of control non-immune fish had more than 100 trophonts fish-1 . The control immune fish had 0 trophonts fish-1 . Anti-Ich antibody was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in water samples taken from tanks containing immune fish after the water samples were concentrated 40-fold. The study suggests that immune fish cohabited with non-immune fish may protect non-immune fish against Ich infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract We studied soil organic carbon (C) chemistry at the mountain birch forest-tundra ecotone in three regions of the Fennoscandian mountain range with comparable vegetation cover but contrasting degrees of continentality and latitude. The aim of the study was to identify functional compound classes and their relationships to decomposition and spatial variation across the ecotone and latitudinal gradient. Solid-state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS 13 C NMR) was used to identify seven functional groups of soil organic C: alkyls , N-alkyls , O-alkyls , acetals , aromatics , phenolics and carboxyls . N-alkyls , O-alkyls and acetals are generally considered labile substrates for a large number of saprotrophic fungi and bacteria, whilst phenolics and aromatics are mainly decomposed by lignolytic organisms and contribute to the formation of soil organic matter together with aliphatic alkyls and carboxyls . All soils contained a similar proportional distribution of functional groups, although relatively high amounts of N-alkyls , O-alkyls and acetals were present in comparison to earlier published studies, suggesting that large amounts of soil C were potentially vulnerable to microbial degradation. Soil organic matter composition was different at the most southerly site (Dovrefjell, Norway), compared with the two more northerly sites (Abisko, Sweden, and Joatka, Norway), with higher concentrations of aromatics and phenolics , as well as pronounced differences in alkyl concentrations between forest and tundra soils. Clear differences between mountain birch forest and tundra heath soil was noted, with generally higher concentrations of labile carbon present in tundra soils. We conclude that, although mesic soils around the forest-tundra ecotone in Fennoscandia are a potential source of C to the atmosphere in a changing environment, the response is likely to vary between comparable ecosystems in relation to latitude and continentality as...

AB  - Abstract The effects of fire on soil-surface carbon dioxide (CO2 ) efflux, F S , and microbial biomass carbon, C mic , were studied in a wildland setting by examining 13-year-old postfire stands of lodgepole pine differing in tree density (< 500 to > 500 000 trees ha-1 ) in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). In addition, young stands were compared to mature lodgepole pine stands (∼110-year-old) in order to estimate ecosystem recovery 13 years after a stand replacing fire. Growing season F S increased with tree density in young stands (1.0 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in low-density stands, 1.8 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in moderate-density stands and 2.1 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in high-density stands) and with stand age (2.7 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in mature stands). Microbial biomass carbon in young stands did not differ with tree density and ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 mg C g-1 dry soil over the growing season; C mic was significantly greater in mature stands (0.5–0.8 mg C g-1 dry soil). Soil-surface CO2 efflux in young stands was correlated with biotic variables (above-ground, below-ground and microbial biomass), but not with abiotic variables (litter and mineral soil C and N content, bulk density and soil texture). Microbial biomass carbon was correlated with below-ground plant biomass and not with soil carbon and nitrogen, indicating that plant activity controls not only root respiration, but C mic pools and overall F S rates as well. These findings support recent studies that have demonstrated the prevailing importance of plants in controlling rates of F S and suggest that decomposition of older, recalcitrant soil C pools in this ecosystem is relatively unimportant 13 years after a stand replacing fire....

AB  - Abstract Two yeasts isolated from laboratory reared adult coffee berry borers [Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)] and from insects collected in the field in Colombia were identified as Pichia burtonii Boidin and Candida fermentati (Saito) Bai, based on sequencing of the nuclear large subunit 26S rDNA variable D1/D2 domain. Liquid culture experiments using P. burtonii in media containing different caffeine levels indicated that caffeine levels in a range found within coffee seeds can retard yeast growth. HPLC analysis shows that P. burtonii does not break down caffeine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Aims: To investigate and prevent the undesirable effect of native bacteria and alfalfa seed homogenates on detection of Salmonell a in alfalfa seeds by indicator agar media and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods and Results: The relative sensitivity of five indicator agar media, including modified semisolid RV (MSRV), xylose-lysine-Tergitol 4 (XLT4), Hektoen enteric agar (HEA), brilliant green agar (BGA) and bismuth sulphite agar (BSA), for detection of Salmonella in the presence of a large number of native bacteria from alfalfa seeds was examined. The detection limit as measured by the ratio between the numbers of native bacteria and Salmonella was estimated to be 106 to 1 for MSRV and 103 to 1 for XLT4, HEA, BGA or BSA. Presence of alfalfa seed homogenates markedly reduced the sensitivity of Salmonella detection by PCR. The minimal number of Salmonella detectable by PCR was determined to be 1–10 and 100–1000 CFU in the absence and presence of seed homogenate, respectively. Application of anti-Salmonella immunomagnetic beads permitted detection of 2–5 CFU of heat-injured cells in 25 g of seeds within 24 h by PCR. Conclusions: The MSRV medium is more sensitive than other indicator agars for detecting a small number of motile Salmonella in samples containing a large number of native bacteria. Application of immunomagnetic beads eliminates the PCR-inhibitory activity of seed homogenates and improves the detection of Salmonella in inoculated seeds. Significance and Impact: The results generated from this study will aid the seed distributors, sprout growers and public health officials to identify and recall the Salmonella -contaminated seed lots to be used for sprout production.

AB  - Summary The heat resistance of a four-strain mixture of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was tested. The temperature range was 55–62.5 °C and the substrate was beef at pH 4.5 or 5.5, adjusted with either acetic or lactic acid. Inoculated meat, packaged in bags, was completely immersed in a circulating water bath and cooked to an internal temperature of 55, 58, 60, or 62.5 °C in 1 h, and then held for pre-determined lengths of time. The surviving cell population was enumerated by spiral plating meat samples on tryptic soy agar overlaid with Sorbitol MacConkey agar. Regardless of the acidulant used to modify the pH, the D-values at all temperatures were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in ground beef at pH 4.5 as compared with the beef at pH 5.5. At the same pH levels, acetic acid rendered E. coli O157:H7 more sensitive to the lethal effect of heat. The analysis of covariance showed evidence of a significant acidulant and pH interaction on the slopes of the survivor curves at 55 °C. Based on the thermal-death–time values, contaminated ground beef (pH 5.5/lactic acid) should be heated to an internal temperature of 55 °C for at least 116.3 min and beef (pH 4.5/acetic acid) for 64.8 min to achieve a 4-log reduction of the pathogen. The heating time at 62.5 °C, to achieve the same level of reduction, was 4.4 and 2.6 min, respectively. Thermal-death–time values from this study will assist the retail food processors in designing acceptance limits on critical control points that ensure safety of beef originally contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

T1  - Do species evenness and plant density influence the magnitude of selection and complementarity effects in annual plant species mixtures?

AB  - Abstract Plant species richness influences primary productivity via mechanisms that (1) favour species with particular traits (selection effect) and (2) promote niche differentiation between species (complementarity). Influences of species evenness, plant density and other properties of plant communities on productivity are poorly defined, but may depend on whether selection or complementarity prevails in species mixtures. We predicted that selection effects are insensitive to species evenness but increase with plant density, and that the converse is true for complementarity. To test predictions, we grew three species of annuals in monocultures and in three-species mixtures in which evenness of established plants was varied at each of three plant densities in a cultivated field in Texas, USA. Above-ground biomass was smaller in mixtures than expected from monocultures because of negative ‘complementarity’ and a negative selection effect. Neither selection nor complementarity varied with species evenness, but selection effects increased at the greatest plant density as predicted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rhizopycnis vagum is a recently described coelomycetous fungus that contributes to vine decline of muskmelons in Honduras, Guatemala, Texas and California. This fungus has been associated with roots of muskmelon plants affected by vine decline in most Spanish muskmelon production areas. Isolates were collected from 1996 to 2000 and identified from their cultural and morphological characteristics and by sequencing the ITS region of the ribosomal coding nuclear DNA (rDNA) and phylogenetic analysis. A few isolates from muskmelon with growth characteristics similar to R. vagum were identified as Phoma terrestris . Watermelon, Cucurbita hybrids used as rootstocks for watermelon production, Amaranthus sp. and grapevine were also hosts for R. vagum . Based on disease reaction in muskmelon roots, the pathogenicity of 10 isolates of R. vagum from different hosts and geographical origins was verified. The fungus caused root discoloration, corky lesions, and eventually the presence of pink coloration on the roots. Rhizopycnis vagum appears to be a minor pathogen that contributes to muskmelon vine decline complex in Spain through infection of roots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The pancreas secretes primarily two types of metabolically important proteins: digestive enzymes and hormones. Lithostathine (LIT) is the only protein excreted from the pancreas that has no known digestive or hormonal activity. Human lithostathine is a 144-amino acid glycoprotein synthesized by the exocrine pancreas that has been implicated in various physiological functions, including inhibition of pancreatic stone formation. To better understand the physiological function of LIT, we expressed the recombinant LIT protein in Escherichia coli and measured its calcium binding properties by equilibrium dialysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Equilibrium dialysis with 45Ca2+ showed that LIT binds Ca2+ with 1:1 stoichiometry. EPR studies using the divalent vanadyl (VO2+) ion as a paramagnetic substitute for Ca2+ also showed that VO2+ binds to LIT with a metal:protein binding stoichiometry of 1:1 and that VO2+ competes with Ca2+ in binding to LIT. Mutations of a cluster of acidic residues on the molecular surface (E30A, D31A, E33A, D37A, D72A, and D73A) resulted in almost complete loss (95–100%) of binding of Ca2+ and VO2+, showing that these residues are critical for calcium binding by LIT.

AB  - Abstract The myokinins are invertebrate neuropeptides with myotropic and diuretic activity. The lymnokinin receptor from the snail Lymnaea stagnalis (Mollusca) has been the only previously identified myokinin receptor. We had cloned a G protein-coupled receptor (AF228521) from the tick Boophilus microplus (Arthropoda: Acari), 40% identical to the lymnokinin receptor, that we have now expressed in CHO-K1 cells. Myokinins at nanomolar concentrations induced intracellular calcium release, as measured by fluorescent cytometry and the receptor coupled to a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein. Absence of extracellular calcium did not inhibit the fluorescence response, indicating that intracellular stores were sufficient for the initial response. Control cells only transfected with vector did not respond. We conclude that the tick receptor is the first myokinin receptor to be cloned from an arthropod. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1. Two [[sup 14]C]-labelled brominated diphenyl ethers, 2,2′,4,4′,5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), were separately administered to the male Sprague-Dawley rat as a single oral dose (2.2mgkg[sup -1] body weight and 3.0mgkg[sup -1], respectively). 2. Very low [[sup 14]C] urine excretion was observed for both congeners (<1% of the dose), and cumulative biliary excretion was approximately 4% for BDE-99 and 9% for BDE-209. 3. More than 6% of the pooled urine from the BDE-99-treated rat was protein-bound to an 18-kDa protein characterized by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western immunoblot analysis as α[sub 2u]-globulin. Eighteen per cent of the radioactivity from the pooled urine from the BDE-209 treated rat was bound to albumin; no binding to α2u-globulin was detected. 4. In bile, 27-39% of the radioactivity from the BDE-99-dosed rat was bound to an unidentified 79-kDa protein, whereas essentially all (>87%) of the biliary radioactivity from BDE-209 was bound to the 79-kDa protein. Both parent BDE-99 and-209 and their metabolites were detected by thin layer chromatography in the extracted fraction of this bile protein. 5. By differential centrifugation, the subcellular localization of the [sup 14]C derived from each congener in selected tissues was quantified. The cytosolic [[sup 14]C] from livers of the BDE-209-treated rat was bound to a 14-kDa protein, which was characterized as a fatty acid-binding protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary • Although histologically much simpler than higher plants, bryophytes display a considerable degree of tissue differentiation, notably in those groups that possess an internal system of specialized water-conducting cells (WCCs). Here, using a battery of monoclonal antibodies, we examined the distribution of cell wall polysaccharide and glycoprotein carbohydrate epitopes in the gametophyte of four hepatics and eight mosses, with special reference to water-conducting cells. • CCRC-M7, an antibody against an arabinogalactan epitope, gave a highly consistent and generally specific labelling of WCCs; more variable results were obtained with other antibodies. The labelling patterns indicate that bryophytes exhibit cell and tissue complexity with respect to cell wall components on a par with higher plants. • A remarkable diversity in the immunocytochemical characteristics of WCCs was observed not only when comparing major bryophyte groups but also within the relatively small and well-circumscribed moss order Polytrichales, indicating that the cell wall biochemistry of WCCs may have been finely tuned in response to specific evolutionary pressures. The immunocytochemical data strengthen the notion that the WCCs in Takakia are not homologous with the hydroids of other mosses nor with the WCCs in Haplomitrium and metzgerialean liverworts. • The presence of several carbohydrate epitopes in hydroid walls runs strongly counter to the notion that their maturation involves hydrolysis of noncellulosic polysaccharides.

AB  - Abstract In mid-Middle Cambrian time, shallow-water sedimentation along the Cordilleran passive margin was abruptly interrupted by the development of the deep-water House Range embayment across Nevada and Utah. The Marjum Formation (330 m) in the central House Range represents deposition in the deepest part of the embayment and is composed of five deep-water facies: limestone–argillaceous limestone rhythmites; shale; thin carbonate mud mounds; bioturbated limestone; and cross-bedded limestone. These facies are cyclically arranged into 1·5 to 30 m thick parasequences that include rhythmite–mound, rhythmite–shale, rhythmite–bioturbated limestone and rhythmite–cross-bedded limestone parasequences. Using biostratigraphically constrained sediment accumulation rates, the parasequences range in duration from ≈14 to 270 kyr. The mud mounds are thin (<2 m), closely spaced, laterally linked, symmetrical domes composed of massive, fenestral, peloidal to clotted microspar with sparse unoriented, poorly sorted skeletal material, calcitized bacterial(?) filaments/tubes and abundant fenestrae and stroma- tactoid structures. These petrographic and sedimentological features suggest that the microspar, peloids/clots and syndepositional micritic cement were precipitated in situ from the activity of benthic microbial communities. Concentrated growth of the microbial communities occurred during periods of decreased input of fine detrital carbonate transported offshore from the adjacent shallow-water carbonate platform. In the neighbouring Wah Wah Range and throughout the southern Great Basin, coeval mid-Middle Cambrian shallow-water carbonates are composed of abundant metre-scale, upward-shallowing parasequences that record high-frequency (104 -105 years) eustatic sea-level changes. Given this regional stratigraphic relationship, the Marjum Formation parasequences probably formed in response to high-frequency sea-level fluctuations that controlled the amount of detrital carbonate input into the deeper water embayment. During high-frequency sea-level rise and early highstand, detrital carbonate input into the embayment decreased as a result of carbonate factory retrogradation, resulting in the deposition of shale (base of rhythmite–shale parasequences) or thin nodular rhythmites, followed by in situ precipitated mud mounds (lower portion of rhythmite–mound parasequences). During the ensuing high-frequency sea-level fall/lowstand, detrital carbonate influx into the embayment increased on account of carbonate factory pro- gradation towards the embayment, resulting in deposition of rhythmites (upper part of rhythmite–mound parasequences), reworking of rhythmites by a lowered storm wave base (cross-bedded limestone deposition) or bioturbation of rhythmites by a weakened/lowered O2 -minimum zone (bioturbated lime- stone deposition). This interpreted sea-level control on offshore carbonate sedimentation patterns is unique to Palaeozoic and earliest Mesozoic deep-water sediments. After the evolution of calcareous plankton in the Jurassic, the presence or absence of deeper water carbonates was influenced by a variety of chemical and physical oceanographic factors, rather than just physical transport of carbonate muds.

AB  - Field studies have shown that the addition of Zn to Cd-containing soils can help reduce accumulation of Cd in crop plants. To understand the mechanisms involved, this study used 109 Cd and 65 Zn to examine the transport interactions of Zn and Cd at the root cell plasma membrane of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum ). Results showed that Cd2+ uptake was inhibited by Zn2+ and Zn2+ uptake was inhibited by Cd2+ . Concentration-dependent uptake of both Cd2+ and Zn2+ consisted of a combination of linear binding by cell walls and saturable, Michaelis-Menten influx across the plasma membrane. Saturable influx data from experiments with and without 10 µm concentrations of the corresponding inhibiting ion were converted to double reciprocal plots. The results revealed a competitive interaction between Cd2+ and Zn2+ , confirming that Cd2+ and Zn2+ share a common transport system at the root cell plasma membrane in both bread and durum wheat. The study suggests that breeding or agronomic strategies that aim to decrease Cd uptake or increase Zn uptake must take into account the potential accompanying change in transport of the competing ion.

AB  - Aims: To evaluate genetic heterogeneity in the most common phage types of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. Methods and Results: A total of 233 isolates of Salm. Enteritidis from England, Northern Ireland, Spain, Hong Kong and the USA belonging to phage types (PT) 4 (n =88), PT7 (n =12), PT6 (n =72), PT8 (n =14), PT13a (n =29), PT29 (n =14) and PT34 (n =4) were characterized by Pst I-Sph I (PS) ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis after digestion of DNA with Xba I. PS ribotyping differentiated the isolates into 53 different PS types and PFGE showed 14 different macrorestriction profiles; with the combination of both methods, 73 combined types were identified. Some of these clones appeared to be present within several countries. Movement of foodstuffs, animals or people may have been involved in the spread of these strains. On the other hand, some clones were only found in specific locations. Conclusions: Several well defined clonal lines seem to co-exist within the different phage types included in this study, and a combined typing approach may constitute a useful tool for epidemiological investigations. Clustering analysis of ribotypes and PFGE types agree with previous studies and suggest that phage types that share receptor binding properties can be distinguished as two families: the PT4 family including PT7 and PT6, and the PT8 family including PT13a. The other phage types are difficult to place in a family unless the geographical site of isolation is known. Significance and Impact of the Study: This paper reports on an extensive assessment of the use of molecular tools for the study of the epidemiology of the enteric pathogen Salm . Enteritidis. It also gives new information regarding relationships among some common phage types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Passive immunization of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, was conducted to determine whether anti-Streptococcus iniae whole sera (ASI), heat inactivated anti-S . iniae whole sera (HIASI) and normal whole sera (NWS) were protective when intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected into tilapia. The ASI was produced in tilapia actively immunized (challenged) with virulent S. iniae by i.p. injection. An antibody response against S. iniae was demonstrated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and 18% of the immunized fish died because of the S. iniae infection. The actively immunized tilapia demonstrated a secondary antibody response and immunity to S. iniae after challenge with S. iniae by i.p. injection. Survival was 100% in the actively immunized fish. The NWS was obtained from tilapia free of ASI antibody and susceptible to S. iniae infection (40% mortality). In two separate experiments, significantly higher mortality was noted in tilapia passively immunized with NWS (33 and 53%) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (30 and 60%), in comparison with mortalities of 0 and 10% or 3.3 and 6.7% in the fish passively immunized with ASI or HIASI 14 days after S . iniae infection by i.p. injection (P = 0.0003 and 0.0023). Results suggest that immunity provided by ASI and HIASI was because of antibody against S. iniae . Inactivation of complement in the HIASI treatment further suggests that ASI antibody plays a primary role in immunity against S. iniae infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study determined whether cutaneous antibodies were present in the excised skin of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque, immune to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet (Ich). Theronts were immobilized on or near the excised skin from immune fish. The survival of immobilized theronts was significantly reduced after exposure for 8 h to the culture of excised skin from immune fish. Culture fluids from excised skin of immune fish immobilized theronts with a peak in the immobilization titre at 24 h post-exposure. Immobility of theronts in the culture fluid from immune skin was removed after immunoabsorption with theronts. Indirect immunofluorescent staining of theronts treated with culture fluid from excised skin of immune fish revealed strong and uniform fluorescence on the cilia and cell surface of theronts. Western blot analysis of the culture fluid from immune fish revealed a 70-kDa band which corresponded to the molecular weight of catfish immunoglobulin heavy chain. The results of this study show that cutaneous antibodies to Ich theronts were present in and released from the excised skin from fish immune to Ich. Immobilization and killing of the theronts are two characteristics of the antibody response that appear to prevent the successful invasion of theronts into excised skin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Light and transmission electron microscopy of phloem sieve-tube elements, companion cells, and parenchymal cells in thin and ultrathin sections of small and medium rachises and small, medium and large leaflets of a black locust tree, Robinia pseudoacacia L., affected by witches’-broom disease revealed (in the small and medium rachises and leaflets) structures that were characteristic of phytoplasmas, and crystal-like inclusions in the phloem sieve-tube members. A crystal-like inclusion was also seen in a companion cell. Paracrystalline arrays were seen only (and very rarely) in phloem sieve-tube elements of medium rachises. Some elements contained several crystal-like inclusions and each inclusion had fracture planes. The crystal-like inclusions and paracrystalline arrays apparently have not been previously reported in the black locust. The paracrystalline arrays and crystal-like inclusions may merely be by-products of the plant’s metabolic activity. Extensive additional work would be required to establish the precise relationship (if any) of the arrays and inclusions to the black locust, witches’-brooming and/or phytoplasmas. Results from analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences amplified by the polymerase chain reaction indicated for the first time that the phytoplasma associated with black locust witches’-broom is a member of group 16 SrIII (peach X-disease) phytoplasma group. This raised the question of whether black locust may be a significant source of the phytoplasma for infection of other plants, especially agricultural crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ripe mangoes ‘Tommy Atkins’ were exposed to UV-C irradiation for 10 and 20 min, prior to storage for 14 days at 5 or 20 °C and a shelf-life period of 7 days at 20 °C. UV-C-treated fruit maintained better visual appearance than unirradiated controls. UV-C irradiation for 10 min was the most effective regime in suppressing decay symptoms and maintaining firmness during storage at 5 or 20 °C. Such fruit (treated with UV-C for 10 min) showed greater levels of putrescine and spermidine after cold storage than controls and those treated with UV-C for 20 min. Higher levels of sugars and lower levels of organic acids were observed in mangoes treated with UV-C for 20 min. However, the most effective UV-C treatment (10 min) for reducing decay maintained sugar and organic acid levels similar to the controls. No UV-damage was observed on treated fruits after storage. These results indicate that UV-C irradiation could be used as an effective and rapid method to preserve the postharvest life of ripe mangoes without adversely affecting certain quality attributes.

AB  - SummaryThe maize p1 gene encodes a Myb-homologous regulator of red pigment biosynthesis. To investigate the tissue-specific regulation of the p1 gene, maize plants were transformed with constructs combining promoter and cDNA sequences of two alleles which differ in pigmentation patterns: P1-wr (white pericarp/red cob) and P1-rr (red pericarp/red cob). Surprisingly, all promoter/cDNA combinations produced transgenic plants with red pericarp and red cob (RR pattern), indicating that the P1-wr promoter and encoded protein can function in pericarp. Some of the RR patterned transgenic plants produced progeny plants with white pericarp and red cob (WR pattern), and this switch in tissue-specificity correlated with increased transgene methylation. A similar inverse correlation between pericarp pigmentation and DNA methylation was observed for certain natural p1 alleles, which have a gene structure characteristic of standard P1-wr alleles, but which confer red pericarp pigmentation and are consistently less methylated than standard P1-wr alleles. Although we cannot rule out the possible existence of tissue-specific regulatory elements within the p1 non-coding sequences or flanking regions, the data from transgenic and natural alleles suggest that the tissue-specific pigmentation pattern characteristic of the P1-wr phenotype is epigenetically controlled.

AB  - It is essential that important field processes are taken into account to model water flow and chemical transport accurately in agricultural fields. Recent field studies indicate that transport through macropores can play a major role in the export of solutes and particulates from drained agricultural land into surface water. Non-ideal drain behaviour may further modify the flow and transport. We extended an existing two-dimensional flow and transport model for variably saturated soils (SWMS_2D) by adding a macropore domain and an additional Hooghoudt drain boundary condition. The Hooghoudt boundary condition accounts for an entrance head needed to initiate flow into the drains. This paper presents the application of the new model (M-2D) to an agricultural field in Switzerland. To understand interactions between macropore flow and drains better we simulated water flow and bromide transport for four different field scenarios. We considered both collector drains only with an ideal drain boundary condition (with and without macropores) and collectors and laterals with a Hooghoudt boundary condition (also with and without macropores). For each scenario, inverse modelling was used to identify model parameters using 150 days of data on observed cumulative discharge, water table depth, and tracer concentration. The models were subsequently tested against a 390-day validation data set. We found that the two additional components (macropore flow, drain entrance head) of the M-2D model were essential to describe adequately the flow regime and the tracer transport data in the field.

AB  - To assess the risk of transmission of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) associated with the movement of processed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, from an area where the virus is endemic, 240 freshly eviscerated fish (225–500 g) exhibiting spinal curvature or spinal compression types of deformities were tested for IHNV by virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Commercially produced rainbow trout, approximately 1-year-old, that exhibited spinal deformities were considered to have had a high likelihood of having survived an outbreak of IHN. Serological analysis of fish exhibiting spinal curvature or spinal compression types of deformities for anti-IHNV antibodies resulted in 71 and 50% of the serum samples, respectively, with detectable neutralization activity suggesting previous infection with IHNV. A portion of the skin and muscle in the area of the deformity was collected, as well as brain tissue from each commercially processed fish. Tissue homogenates were tested for IHNV using the epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cell line pretreated with polyethylene glycol and the chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) cell line using standard methods. Nested, reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR for the detection of IHNV used the central 1231 bp portion of the glycoprotein (G) gene. All brain and skin-muscle homogenates were negative for IHNV by virus isolation and by nested RT-PCR. To assess virus clearance experimentally, groups of 100 specific-pathogen-free (SPF) rainbow trout (mean weight, 100 g) were either intraperitoneally injected with IHNV or sham infected and held separately in 385 L aquaria in SPF water at 15 °C. In the first study, a total of 33% of the infected fish died. Ten days after the last mortality or 34 days after post-infection, six fish from each treatment were killed at weekly intervals for 6 weeks. Kidney and brain homogenates from individual fish were tested by virus isolation and nested RT-PCR using... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the cause of the food-borne salmonellosis pandemic in humans, in part because it has the unique ability to contaminate eggs without causing discernible illness in the birds infected. The infection route to humans involves colonization, survival and multiplication of the pathogen in the hen house environment, the bird and, finally, the egg. This review highlights the stages of transmission and discusses evidence that altered bacterial growth patterns and specific cell surface characteristics contribute to the adaptation of S. enteritidis to these diverse environments.

AB  - A chromosome-specific library was developed for Bos taurus autosome 11 by chromosome microdissection and microcloning using a bovine primary fibroblast culture, obtained from a t(X;23) heifer, that spontaneously developed a translocation chromosome involving bovine chromosome 11. The library was screened using (AC)12 oligos, positive clones selected, sequenced and primers developed to generate bovine chromosome 11-specific microsatellite markers. This study suggests that chromosome-specific libraries have great potential for development of microsatellite markers for the construction of marker-saturated linkage maps for each chromosome.

AB  - Variability in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the two most prevalent Salmonella serotypes causing food-borne salmonellosis was assessed using gas chromatography analysis of neutral sugars from 43 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) and 20 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) isolates. Four substantially different types of O-chain chemotypes were detected using cluster analysis of sugar compositions; these were low-molecular-mass (LMM) LPS, glucosylated LMM LPS, high-molecular-mass (HMM) LPS and glucosylated HMM LPS. Nineteen out of 20 S. Typhimurium isolates yielded glucosylated LMM. In contrast, S. Enteritidis produced a more diverse structure, which varied according to the source and history of the isolate: 45.5% of egg isolates yielded glucosylated HMM LPS; 100% of stored strains lacked glucosylation but retained chain length in some cases; and 83.3% of fresh isolates from the naturally infected house mouse Mus musculus produced glucosylated LMM LPS. A chain length determinant (wzz) mutant of S. Enteritidis produced a structure similar to that of S. Typhimurium and was used to define what constituted significant differences in structure using cluster analysis. Fine mapping of the S. Enteritidis chromosome by means of a two-restriction enzyme-ribotyping technique suggested that mouse isolates producing glucosylated LMM LPS were closely related to orally invasive strains obtained from eggs, and that stored strains were accumulating genetic changes that correlated with suppression of LPS O-chain glucosylation. These results suggest that the determination of LPS chemotype is a useful tool for epidemiological monitoring of S. Enteritidis, which displays an unusual degree of diversity in its LPS O-chain.

AB  - The goal of this study was to identify and map genes expressed during the elongation phase of embryogenesis in swine. Expressed sequence tags were analysed from a previously described porcine cDNA library prepared from elongating swine embryos. Average insert length of randomly selected clones was approximately 600 bp, with a range from <100 to >2500 bp. Single-pass, coding strand sequences from 1132 independent clones were compared with the GenBank non-redundant (nr) database via BLASTN analysis to identify potential porcine homologous of known genes. Among these sequences, 781 (69%) showed significant (score >300) homology to non- mitochondrial sequences previously deposited in GenBank. Sequences matching interleucin 1 β and thymosin β 10 were most frequently observed (24 and 18 clones, respectively), in addition to matches with 310 other distinct genes. No significant match in the GenBank nr database was obtained for 303 sequences. Analysis demonstrated that 151 (50%) had open reading frames (ORF) extending at least 50 codons from the first base of the clone insert. Genetic markers were developed and used to map a subset of 17 genes, selected on the basis of function or of the ability to design primers that successfully amplified porcine genomic DNA, to 10 different porcine chromosomes, providing a set of mapped markers corresponding to genes expressed during conceptus elongation.

AB  - A series of ELISAs based on anti-sulfathiazole (STZ) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were developed that can detect STZ below the tolerance level in tissues. The IC[sub 50] values (concentrations of STZ inhibiting 50% of binding in a competitive ELISA) for each MAb ranged from 6 to 21 ng ml[sup -1] of STZ. Immunoassays based upon two MAbs, STZ-23 and SDM44, were evaluated for their assay performance using swine liver samples spiked with STZ. Swine liver tissue was analyzed without a complex sample preparation step, with only a simple dilution of swine liver extract being necessary. A good correlation between immunoassay results and spike levels in swine liver (R[sup 2] >0.98) was obtained, demonstrating that the immunoassays are capable of quantifying STZ in swine liver. The cross-reactivities of other sulfonamide drugs and STZ metabolites in these immunoassays were also examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Limited genetic knowledge is available regarding crossability between hexaploid triticale (2n = 6x = 42, 21′′, AABBRR, amphiploid Triticum turgidum L.–Secale cereale L.) and rye (2n = 14, 7′′, RR). Our objectives were to determine (1) the crossability between triticales and rye and (2) the inheritance of crossability between F2 progeny from intertriticale crosses and rye. First, ‘8F/Corgo’, a hexaploid triticale, was crossed as a female with two landrace ryes, ‘Gimonde’ and, ‘Vila Pouca’ and two derived north European cultivars, ‘Pluto’ and ‘Breno’. These crosses produced 21.7, 20.9, 5.9, and 5.6%, seed-set or crossability, respectively, showing that the landrace ryes produced higher seed-set than the cultivars. Second, ‘Gimonde’ rye was crossed as a male with four triticales for 3 years. The control cross, ‘Chinese Spring’ wheat × rye, produced 80–90% seed-set. Of the four triticales, ‘Beagle’ produced 35.7–56.8% seed-set. The other three triticales produced less than 20% seed-set, showing that the triticales differ in crossability with ‘Gimonde’ rye. Third, six F1s from intertriticale crosses (‘8F/Corgo’ × ‘Beagle’, ‘Beagle’ × ‘Cachirulo’, ‘Lasko’ × ‘Beagle’, ‘8F/Corgo’ × ‘Cachirulo’, ‘Lasko’ × ‘Cachirulo’, ‘Lasko’ × ‘8F/Corgo’) were crossed to ‘Gimonde’ rye. Results indicated that lower crossability trait was partially dominant in the two F1s from crosses involving ‘Beagle’ (high crossability) with ‘8F/Corgo’ and ‘Cachirulo’ (low crossability) and completely dominant in the ‘Beagle’ × ‘Lasko’ cross, as it happens in wheat. Fourth, segregants in four F2 populations (‘Lasko’ × ‘Beagle’, ‘8F/Corgo’ × ‘Beagle’, ‘Lasko’ × ‘8F/Corgo’, and ‘8F/Corgo’ × ‘Cachirulo’) were crossed with rye. Segregation for crossability was observed, although distinct segregation classes were blurred by environmental and perhaps other factors, such as self-incompatibility alleles in rye. Segregation patterns showed that ‘Beagle’, with high crossability to rye, carries either Kr1 or Kr2. The three triticales with low crossability with rye were most likely homozygous for Kr1 and Kr2. Therefore, it is likely that the Kr loci from A and B genomes acting in wheat also play a role in triticale × rye crosses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Germ-line transformation of a white eye strain of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, was achieved with the piggyBac vector, derived from a transposon originally isolated from the cabbage looper moth, Trichoplusia ni. The vector was marked with the medfly white+ gene cDNA, and three transgenic lines were identified at a frequency of approximately 2% per fertile G0. Vector integrations were verified by Southern DNA hybridization, which also revealed the presence of endogenous genomic elements closely related to piggyBac. Approximately 10–20 elements per genome were evident in several B. dorsalis strains, and sequence analysis of 1.5 kb gene amplification products from two wild strains and the white eye host strain indicated 95% nucleotide and 92% amino acid sequence identity among resident elements and the T. ni element. PiggyBac was not evident by hybridization in other tephritid species, or insects previously transformed with the transposon. This is the first discovery of piggyBac beyond T. ni, and its existence in a distantly related species has important implications for the practical use of the vector and insects transformed with it.

AB  - 1. [sup 14]C-TBBP-A (2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl)propane) was administered orally to the conventional and bile-duct cannulated male Sprague-Dawley rat (2.0 mg/kg body weight). Urine, bile and faeces were collected daily for 72 h, and selected tissues were removed for distribution studies. 2. Faeces was the major route of elimination of TBBP-A in the conventional rat (9.7% of dose), and urine was a minor elimination route (0.3%). Enterohepatic circulation was suggested by biliary excretion of 71.3% and faecal excretion of 26.7% of the administered radioactivity in the bile-duct cannulated rat. 3. [sup 14]C-labelled residues in tissues were 2% in the conventional rat, and <1% in the bile-duct cannulated rat. The large and small intestines contained the majority of the tissue [sup 14]C activity for both groups of rat. Levels of TBBP-A in liver were < 0.1%, and in fat were below the level of quantification. 4. Three metabolites were characterized in 0-24 h bile samples. Glucuronic acid and sulphate ester conjugates were characterized by mass spectrometry. More than 95% of the extractable faecal [sup 14]C was identified as parent TBBP-A. 5. Negligible amounts of TBBP-A-derived [sup 14]C were associated with carrier proteins he urine and bile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We estimated prevalence and control of type 2 diabetes in Puerto Rican, Dominican, and non-Hispanic White (NHW) elders and associated them with sociodemographic and health behavior variables and with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Methods. We used a cross-sectional analysis with a sample of Hispanic elders in Massachusetts and a comparison group of NHWs (1991-1997). The analysis included 379 Puerto Ricans, 113 Dominicans, and 164 NHWs, aged 60 to 96 years, with complete questionnaires and blood samples. Results. Type 2 diabetes was significantly more prevalent among Puerto Ricans (38%) and Dominicans (35%) than among NHWs (23%). Differences remained after covariates were adjusted for. Hispanics with diabetes were approximately 3 times more likely to use insulin than NHWs. Puerto Ricans were 2 times, and Dominicans 3 times, more likely to have glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations of 7% or above than NHWs. BMI and waist circumference were individually associated with diabetes. When included in the model together, waist circumference, but not BMI, remained independently associated with diabetes. Conclusions. Ethnicity was more strongly associated with diabetes status and control than were socioeconomic or measured health behavior variables, suggesting that genetic or other culturally related factors may explain these differences.

AB  - Summary The phytophagous insect fauna of ferns has often been described as depauperate, and some have pointed to the paucity of evidence for adaptive radiation of insect groups feeding specifically on ferns. This paper examines the world's species of fern-specific Macrosiphum aphids and attempts to determine whether fern-feeding is a monophyletically derived trait in Macrosiphum . All sixteen species reported to feed on ferns, including three new species, were included in a cladistic analysis, along with fifteen other Macrosiphum species selected to represent the diversity of the genus, Papulaphis sleesmani (Pepper), because of its similarity to fern-feeding Macrosiphum , and Sitobion avenae (Fabricius), which was used as outgroup. The results gave good support for the monophyly of fifteen of the sixteen fern-feeders, and also supported a clade consisting of these fifteen fern-feeders plus Macrosiphum equiseti (Holman), an Equisetum -specific aphid. One species, Macrosiphum lapponicum Shaposhnikov, from northern Russia, was concluded to be unrelated to other fern-feeding Macrosiphum . Whether this species truly feeds on a fern requires confirmation. Taxonomic and biological notes are provided for all fern-feeding Macrosiphum of the world. These include one new combination, Macrosiphum cyatheae (Holman) comb.n., and three new species: Macrosiphum longirostratum sp.n. on Woodsia mollis and Woodsia sp. from Mexico (Michoacán), Macrosiphum miho sp.n. on ‘Aspidium ’ sp. from the U.S.A. (Illinois) and Macrosiphum rebecae sp.n. on Adiantum sp. from Mexico (Michoacán). Keys to apterous and alate viviparae of Macrosiphum living on ferns are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - AbstractTrypsin-like enzymes are major insect gut enzymes that digest dietary proteins and proteolytically activate insecticidal proteins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Resistance to Bt in a strain of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella, was linked to the absence of a major trypsin-like proteinase (Oppert et al., 1997). In this study, trypsin-like proteinases, cDNA sequences, mRNA expression levels and genomic DNAs from Bt-susceptible and -resistant strains of the Indianmeal moth were compared. Proteinase activity blots of gut extracts indicated that the susceptible strain had two major trypsin-like proteinases, whereas the resistant strain had only one. Several trypsinogen-like cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced from cDNA libraries of both strains using a probe deduced from a conserved sequence for a serine proteinase active site. cDNAs of 852 nucleotides from the susceptible strain and 848 nucleotides from the resistant strain contained an open reading frame of 783 nucleotides which encoded a 261-amino acid trypsinogen-like protein. There was a single silent nucleotide difference between the two cDNAs in the open reading frame and the predicted amino acid sequence from the cDNA clones was most similar to sequences of trypsin-like proteinases from the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, and the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. The encoded protein included amino acid sequence motifs of serine proteinase active sites, conserved cysteine residues, and both zymogen activation and signal peptides. Northern blotting analysis showed no major difference between the two strains in mRNA expression in fourth-instar larvae, indicating that transcription was similar in the strains. Southern blotting analysis revealed that the restriction sites for the trypsinogen genes from the susceptible and resistant strains were different. Based on an enzyme size comparison, the cDNA isolated in this study corresponded to the gene for the smaller of two trypsin-like proteinases, which is found in both the Bt-susceptible and -resistant strains of the Indianmeal moth. The sequences reported in this paper have been deposited in the GenBank database (accession numbers AF064525 for the RC688 strain and AF064526 for HD198). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch.), sorbitol and sucrose are the two main forms of photosynthetic and translocated carbon and may have different functions depending on the organ of utilization and its developmental stage. The role and interaction of sorbitol and sucrose metabolism was studied in mature leaves (source) and shoot tips (sinks) of ‘Nemaguard’ peach under drought stress. Plants were irrigated daily at rates of 100, 67, and 33% of evapotranspiration (ET). The relative elongation rate (RER) of growing shoots was measured daily. In mature leaves, water potential (Ψw ), osmotic potential (Ψs ), sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH, EC 1.1.1.200), and sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS, EC 2.4.1.14) activities were measured weekly. Measurements of Ψs , sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH, 1.1.1.14), sucrose synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.13), acid invertase (AI, EC 3.2.1.26), and neutral invertase (NI, EC 3.2.1.27) activities were taken weekly in shoot tips. Drought stress reduced RER and Ψw of plants in proportion to water supply. Osmotic adjustment was detected by the second week of treatment in mature leaves and by the third week in shoot tips. Both SDH and S6PDH activities were reduced by drought stress within 4 days of treatment and positively correlated with overall Ψw levels. However, only SDH activity was correlated with Ψs . Among the sucrose enzymes, only SS was affected by drought, being reduced after 3 weeks. Sorbitol accumulation in both mature leaves and shoot tips of stressed plants was observed starting from the second week of treatment and reached up to 80% of total solutes involved in osmotic adjustment. Sucrose content was up to 8-fold lower than sorbitol content and accumulated only occasionally. We conclude that a loss of SDH activity in sinks leads to osmotic adjustment via sorbitol accumulation in peach. We propose an adaptive... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A series of Fe–18Cr–18Mn–N–C alloys was produced and evaluated to determine their mechanical and hardness properties. In one group, different levels of nitrogen and carbon were added to a base composition of Fe–18Cr–18Mn. The base Fe–18Cr–18Mn alloy had a fcc–bcc duplex microstructure. The addition of nitrogen and carbon stabilised the fcc phase. These alloys had increasing room temperature hardness, strength, and failure energy with increasing interstitial concentrations. At cryogenic and elevated temperatures, these alloys had increasing hardness (and by implication, increased strength) with increasing interstitial concentrations. In a second group, different levels of nitrogen and carbon were added to the base Fe–18Cr–18Mn composition to which minor solid solution additions of silicon, molybdenum, and nickel had been added. Minor alloy additions made only nominal improvement to mechanical and hardness properties. Nitrogen remained interstitial. However, these minor solid solution additions reduced carbon solubility resulting in the formation of M23C6 precipitates that, while increasing alloy hardness and strength, greatly reduced fracture toughness. The present study suggests that replacing nickel with manganese in stainless steels results not only in more economical alloys but also in alloys with higher strength and hardness.

N2  - Background: Lutein and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Lutein is a component of macular pigment. DHA is in the retina. Objective: The objective of this 4-mo study was to determine the effects of lutein (12 mg/d) and DHA (800 mg/d) on their serum concentrations and macular pigment optical density (MPOD). Design: Forty-nine women (60-80 y) were randomly assigned to placebo, DHA, lutein, or lutein+DHA supplement. Serum was analyzed for lutein and DHA (0, 2, and 4 mo). MPOD was determined (0 and 4 mo) at 0.4, 1.5, 3, and 5° temporal retinal eccentricities. Serum was analyzed for lipoproteins (4 mo). Results: There was no interaction between lutein and DHA supplementations for serum lutein and MPOD. The lutein supplementation × DHA supplementation × month interaction was significant for serum DHA response (P&lt;0.05). In the lutein group, serum lutein increased from baseline at 2 and 4 mo (P&lt;0.001), and MPOD increased at 3.0° (P&lt;0.01). In the DHA group, serum DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P&lt;0.0001), and MPOD increased at 0.4° (P&lt;0.05). In the lutein+DHA group, serum lutein and DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P&lt;0.01), and MPOD increased at 0.4, 1.5, and 3° (P=0.06, 0.08, and 0.09, respectively). Differences from placebo in lipoprotein subfractions were greatest for the lutein + DHA group (4 mo). Conclusions: Lutein supplementation increased MPOD eccentrically. DHA resulted in central increases. These results may be due to changes in lipoproteins. Lutein and DHA may aid in prevention of age-related macular degeneration.

N2  - Background: No large-scale, population-based study has considered the descriptive epidemiology of vitamin B-6 status with use of plasma pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), the indicator of vitamin B-6 adequacy used to set the current Recommended Dietary Allowance, which is ≤2 mg/d for all subgroups. Objectives: We sought to examine the epidemiology of vitamin B-6 status in the US population. Methods: In &gt;6000 participants aged ≥1 y in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003-2004), we considered relations between plasma PLP and various subject characteristics and examined trends in plasma PLP and homocysteine with vitamin B-6 intake, both overall and in selected subgroups. Results: In males, plasma PLP decreased with age after adolescence only in nonusers of supplemental vitamin B-6. Regardless of supplement use, plasma PLP concentrations of women of childbearing age were significantly lower than those of comparably aged men, and most oral contraceptive users had plasma PLP &lt;20 nmol/L. The prevalence of low plasma PLP was significantly &gt;3% at vitamin B-6 intakes from 2 to 2.9 mg/d in all subgroups and at intakes from 3 to 4.9 mg/d in smokers, the elderly, non-Hispanic blacks, and current and former oral contraceptive users. Intakes from 3 to 4.9 mg/d compared with &lt;2 mg/d were associated with significant protection from low plasma PLP in most subgroups and from hyperhomocysteinemia in the elderly. Conclusions: Vitamin B-6 intakes of 3 to 4.9 mg/d appear consistent with the definition of a Recommended Dietary Allowance for most Americans. However, at that intake level, substantial proportions of some population subgroups may not meet accepted criteria for adequate vitamin B-6 status.

N2  - Background: An understanding of the relations among dietary zinc intake, bioavailability, and absorption is necessary for making dietary intake recommendations. Objectives: We aimed to assess adaptation in human zinc absorption to controlled differences in zinc and phytate intakes and to apply the results to predictive models. Design: In 3 experiments, radiotracers were used to assess zinc absorption by healthy adults (n=109) from controlled diets, before and after 4 or 8 wk of dietary equilibration. Subjects consumed 4-29 mg Zn/d from 1 of 10 diets, 5 with molar ratios of phytate to zinc from 2 to 7 and 5 with ratios from 15 to 23. Results: Absorptive efficiency was inversely related to dietary zinc from both low- and high-phytate diets. In response to low zinc intakes (&lt;11 mg/d) for 4-8 wk, zinc absorption was up-regulated to as high as 92%, but only if the diets were low in phytate. The results help validate and refine a published saturable transport model that predicts zinc absorption from dietary zinc and phytate. Possible biomarkers of impaired zinc status, including erythrocyte osmotic fragility, in vitro erythrocyte 65Zn uptake, and leukocyte expression of the zinc transport proteins Zip1 and ZnT1, were unresponsive to dietary zinc content. Conclusions: Humans absorbed zinc more efficiently from low-zinc diets and adapted to further increase zinc absorption after consuming low-zinc, low-phytate diets for several weeks. Such adaptation did not occur with higher phytate diets. Zinc absorption can be predicted from dietary zinc and phytate after allowing for dietary equilibration.

N2  - Utilization of excess glycerol supplies derived from the burgeoning biodiesel industry is of major importance to the oleochemical industry as the economic viability of the biodiesel and oleochemical industries are closely linked to glycerol prices. Carbonates based on glycerol, such as glycerol carbonate, are gaining prominence due their simple preparation, interesting properties and chemistry. Herein, the synthesis, physical properties, and chemistry of an interesting glycerol-based carbonate (4, bis[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl] carbonate; 1,2-isopropylidene glycerol carbonate or solketal carbonate) is reported. Carbonate interchange reaction between solketal (isopropylidene glycerol) and diethyl carbonate in the presence of sodium methoxide catalyst gave solketal carbonate, 4, in 65-70% isolated yields. Carbonate 4 was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The kinematic viscosity at 40°C, refractive index, and melting point of 4 were determined to be 26.7 mm2/s, nD20 1.4460, and below -50°C, respectively. Using a high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) testing apparatus neat 4 was shown to have lubricity properties similar to fatty acid esters. Hydrolysis of the isopropylidene groups converted carbonate 4 into polyol 6, bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) carbonate in good yields (84%). Carbonate polyol 6 was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR and represents a potentially novel polyol component that may be useful in the syntheses of interesting carbonate containing esters and polymers.

N2  - Hydrogels formed from biopolymers or natural sources have special advantages because they may have biodegradable and biocompatible properties. The viscoelastic properties of a newly developed biological hydrogel made from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) were investigated. The material called HPESO is a hydrolytic product of polymerized ESO (PESO). HPESO exhibited viscoelastic solid or gel behavior above 2% (wt. %) concentration at room temperature and viscous liquid behavior at 55°C. The thermal assembly disassembly reassembly function of the HPESO hydrogel was completely reversible. The viscoelastic properties of HPESO were dependent on concentration. Analysis of modulus and concentration dependence and stress relaxation measurement indicated that HPESO was a physical gel where the cross-linkers between the molecules were physical junctions. HPESO hydrogel also exhibited fast initial recovery of its viscoelastic properties after being subjected to mechanical shear disruption. The function and behavior of the HPESO hydrogel suggest that this biomaterial may be suitable for applications in drug delivery and scaffolds of bioengineering and tissue engineering.

N2  - A nonthermal process using radio frequency electric fields (RFEF) was developed to pasteurize apple cider. An 80 kW RFEF pilot plant system was used to process cider at flow rates of 1.5 and 1.9 l/minute. Escherichia coli K12 in apple cider was exposed to electric field strengths of 20-30 kV/cm at frequencies of 21, 30, and 41 kHz. Treatment times varied from 140 to 420 µs. Electrical energy costs were calculated using the measured voltages and currents. Energy balances were performed using the inlet and outlet temperatures. RFEF processing at an outlet temperature of 60°C reduced the population of E. coli by 4.8 log, whereas thermal processing at the same conditions had no effect. Varying the frequency between 21 and 41 kHz had no effect on the level of microbial inactivation; however, increasing the treatment time, field strength and outlet temperature enhanced inactivation. The inactivation data at 20 kV/cm and 60°C follow first order kinetics with a calculated D values of 74 µs. The inactivation data are represented well by the electric field strength model; the calculated critical electric field strength, Ec, for 60°C was 4.0 kV/cm. The electrical energy for RFEF pasteurization was 260 J/ml. The electrical cost was $0.0050/l of apple cider. Processing temperature had the greatest influence on energy efficiency. A RFEF nonthermal process has been developed to pasteurize apple cider. The effect of varying processing conditions on energy efficiency was investigated and at the optimum condition, the electrical cost appears to be minor. In addition, the RFEF process can be correlated using first order kinetic models.

N2  - Specific data on vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are needed to enable the assessment of vitamin D dietary intake. These forms of the vitamin can occur in foods, both naturally or from fortification. The Nutrient Data Laboratory at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture collaborated with vitamin D experts in an analytic project with 2 major goals: (1) to review and develop methods for analyzing a variety of food items for vitamin D content and (2) to sample and analyze foods considered to be major contributors of vitamin D. During 2007, analysts from up to 6 laboratories compared methods, made modifications in some cases, and validated results with quality-control samples of similar food types in preparation for the analysis of sampled foods. The Nutrient Data Laboratory has prioritized foods for analysis and has identified the following as important contributors of vitamin D: finfish and shellfish, naturally occurring sources, and fortified foods such as milk, calcium-fortified orange juice, breakfast cereals, American cheese, margarines, and yogurt. A nationwide multistage sampling plan was designed and conducted to select and procure representative sample units of all such foods. After analysis of these food samples and review of the results, acceptable values for vitamin D2 and D3 will be disseminated in the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (Internet: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata).

N2  - Background: Several perilipin (PLIN) polymorphic sites have been studied for their potential use as markers for obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Objective: We aimed to examine whether the presence of polymorphisms at the perilipin (PLIN) locus (PLIN1, 6209T-&gt;C; PLIN4, 11482G-&gt;A; PLIN5, 13041A-&gt;G; and PLIN6, 14995A-&gt;T) influence postprandial lipoprotein metabolism in 2 white populations. Design: Eighty-eight healthy Spanish men and 271 healthy US subjects (men and women) underwent an oral-fat-load test in 2 independent studies. Blood samples were taken in the fasting state and during the postprandial phase at regular intervals. Total cholesterol and triacylglycerol and triacylglycerol in triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRL, large and small) were measured. Results: Carriers of the minor C allele at the PLIN1 variant displayed lower postprandial concentrations of large-TRL triacylglycerol (Spanish subjects: P=0.024; US subjects: P=0.005) than did subjects carrying the T/T genotype. The same pattern was observed in the Spanish population at the PLIN4 locus (P=0.015), and both SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium. In both populations, subjects carrying the minor C and A alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4, respectively, had significantly lower postprandial concentrations of plasma triacylglycerol (P&lt;0.05) and lower concentrations of small-TRL triacylglycerol than did those who were homozygous for the major alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4 (Spanish subjects: P=0.020 and 0.008, respectively; US subjects: P=0.021 and 0.035, respectively). Conclusion: These 2 studies suggest that the presence of the minor C and A alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4, respectively, are associated with a lower postprandial response that may result in lower atherogenic risk for these persons.

N2  - Background: Maintaining muscle mass while aging is important to prevent falls and fractures. Metabolic acidosis promotes muscle wasting, and the net acid load from diets that are rich in net acid-producing protein and cereal grains relative to their content of net alkali-producing fruit and vegetables may therefore contribute to a reduction in lean tissue mass in older adults. Objective: We aimed to determine whether there was an association of 24-h urinary potassium and an index of fruit and vegetable content of the diet with the percentage lean body mass (%LBM) or change in %LBM in older subjects. Design: Subjects were 384 men and women ≥65 y old who participated in a 3-y trial comparing calcium and vitamin D with placebo. Potassium was measured in 24-h urine collections at baseline. The %LBM, defined as total body nonfat, nonbone tissue weight ÷ weight × 100, was measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and at 3 y. Physical activity, height, and weight were assessed at baseline and at 3 y. Results: At baseline, the mean urinary potassium excretion was 67.0±21.1 mmol/d. Urinary potassium (mmol/d) was significantly positively associated with %LBM at baseline (β=0.033, P=0.006; adjusted for sex, weight, and nitrogen excretion) but not with 3-y change in %LBM. Over the 3-y study, %LBM increased by 2.6±3.6%. Conclusion: Higher intake of foods rich in potassium, such as fruit and vegetables, may favor the preservation of muscle mass in older men and women.

N2  - Evidence from numerous laboratories using a variety of experimental models, including humans, shows that boron is a bioactive beneficial element. Much evidence has come from studies that did not require nutritional or environmental stressors or fastidious methods in diet preparation or environmental control. The evidence includes deprivation studies showing that boron is necessary for some higher animals to complete the life cycle, and that realistic low boron intakes result in impaired bone health, brain function, and immune response. Thus, low boron intake is a relevant nutritional concern, which diets rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pulses can prevent.

N2  - The effects of preharvest methyl jasmonate (MJ) application on fruit quality, antioxidant activity and flavonoid content in blackberries (Rubus sp.) were determined. Anticancer activity against human lung A549 cells and HL-60 leukemia cells was also evaluated. Three blackberry cultivars (Chester Thornless, Hull Thornless and Triple Crown) were used in these experiments. Blackberries treated with MJ (0.01 and 0.1 mM) had higher soluble solids content, and lower titratable acids than untreated fruit as well as enhanced content of flavonoids and increased antioxidant capacity. Extracts of treated fruit showed enhanced inhibition of A549 cell and HL-60 cell proliferation and induced the apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Cultivar Hull Thornless had higher soluble solids and lower titratable acids compared to cv. Chester Thornless and Triple Crown. On the basis of fresh weight of fruit, Hull Thornless also had significantly higher anthocyanin, total phenolic content, antioxidant and antiproliferation activity than other two cultivars.

N2  - The National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) was designed to expand the quantity and improve the quality of data in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food composition databases through the collection and analysis of nationally representative samples of foods and beverages. This paper describes some of the findings from the NFNAP and its impact on the food composition databases produced by USDA. The NFNAP employs statistically valid sampling plans, comprehensive quality control, and USDA analytical oversight to generate new and updated analytical data for food components. USDA food consumption and composition data were used to target those foods that are major contributors of nutrients of public health significance to the U.S. diet (454 Key Foods). Foods were ranked using a scoring system, divided into quartiles, and reviewed to determine the impact of changes in their composition compared to historical values. Foods were purchased from several types of locations, such as retail outlets and fast food restaurants in different geographic areas as determined by the sampling plan, then composited and sent for analysis to commercial laboratories and cooperators, along with quality control materials. Comparisons were made to assess differences between new NFNAP means generated from original analytical data and historical means. Recently generated results for nationally representative food samples show marked changes compared to database values for selected nutrients from unknown or non-representative sampling. A number of changes were observed in many high consumption foods, e.g. the vitamin A value for cooked carrots decreased from 1225 to 860 RAE/100 g; the fat value for fast food French fried potatoes increased by 21% (14.08-17.06 g/100 g). Trans fatty acids in margarine have decreased as companies reformulate their products in response to the required addition of trans fatty acids content on the nutrition label. Values decreased from 19.7 g/100 in 2002 to 14.8 g/100 in 2006 for 80%-fat stick margarines and to 4.52 g/100 g for 80%-fat tub margarines. These changes reflect improved strategies for sampling and analysis of representative food samples, which enhance the reliability of nutrient estimates for Key Foods and subsequent assessments of nutrient intake.

N2  - The Nutrient Data Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is collaborating with the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and other government agencies to design and populate a dietary supplement ingredient database (DSID). This analytically based, publicly available database will provide reliable estimates of vitamin and mineral content of dietary supplement (DS) products. The DSID will initially be populated with multivitamin/mineral (MVM) products because they are the most commonly consumed supplements. Challenges associated with the analysis of MVMs were identified and investigated. A pilot study addressing the identification of appropriate analytical methods, sample preparation protocols, and experienced laboratories for the analysis of 12 vitamins and 11 minerals in adult MVM supplement products was completed. Preliminary studies support the development of additional analytical studies with results that can be applied to the DSID. Total intakes from foods and supplements are needed to evaluate the associations between dietary components and health. The DSID will provide better estimates of actual nutrient intake from supplements than databases that rely on label values alone.

N2  - This paper considers growth models including one based on Baranyi's equations for growth and the other based on the logistic function. Using a common approach for constructing dynamic models for predicting Clostridium perfringens growth in ready-to-eat uncured beef during cooling, there was no appreciable difference between the models' predictions when the population of cells was within the lag or exponential phases of growth. The developed models can be used for designing safe cooling processes; however, the discrepancies between predicted and observed growths obtained in this study, together with discrepancies reported in other papers using the same, or similar methodology as used in this paper, point to a possible inadequacy of the derived models. In particular, the appropriateness of the methodology depends on the appropriateness of using estimated growth kinetics obtained from experiments conducted in isothermal environments for determining coefficients of differential equations that are used for predicting growth in constantly changing (dynamic) environments. The coefficients are interpreted as instantaneous specific rates of change that are independent of prior history. However, there is no known scientific reason that would imply the truth of this assumption. Incorporating a different, less restrictive assumption, allowing for a dependency on the prior history of cells for these kinetic parameters, might lead to models that provide more accurate estimates of growth. For example, a cooling scenario of 54.4-27°C in 1.5 h, the average predicted and observed log10 relative growths were 1.1 log10 and 0.66 log10, respectively, a difference of 0.44 log10, whereas, when assuming a particular dependency of history, the predicted value was 0.8 log10. More research is needed to characterize the behavior of growth kinetic parameters relative to prior history in dynamic environments.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated the health and safety effects of urban green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) installments. Methods. We conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of the effects of GSI installments on health (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol and stress levels) and safety (e.g., felonies, nuisance and property crimes, narcotics crimes) outcomes from 2000 to 2012 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We used mixed-effects regression models to compare differences in pre- and post-treatment measures of outcomes for treatment sites (n = 52) and randomly chosen, matched control sites (n = 186) within multiple geographic extents surrounding GSI sites. Results. Regression-adjusted models showed consistent and statistically significant reductions in narcotics possession (18%–27% less) within 16th-mile, quarter-mile, half-mile (P < .001), and eighth-mile (P < .01) distances from treatment sites and at the census tract level (P < .01). Narcotics manufacture and burglaries were also significantly reduced at multiple scales. Non-significant reductions in homicides, assaults, thefts, public drunkenness, and narcotics sales were associated with GSI installation in at least 1 geographic extent. Conclusions. Health and safety considerations should be included in future assessments of GSI programs. Subsequent studies should assess mechanisms of this association.

AB  - Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of several biofilm effectors in inhibiting biofilm formation in an in vitro multi-species chronic wound biofilm model. Method: The Lubbock Chronic Wound Biofilm (LCWB) model has been described in detail elsewhere. Pathogens used in the model are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. These are three of the most important species associated with biofilms. Here, the model was exposed to the following biofilm effectors: xylitol, salicylic acid, farnesol, erythritol and two proprietary, semi-solid, wound-dressing formulations currently under development (Sanguitec gels). Results: Biofilm formation was completely inhibited in the LCWB model following treatment with 20% xylitol, 10% erythritol, 1,000µg/ml farnesol, 20mM salicylic acid or 0.1% of either of the two Sanguitec gel formulations. Salicylic acid specifically inhibited S. aureus (p<0.01) at 10mM and 20mM, consequently increasing the ratios of P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis within the biofilm. Xylitol had an increasing inhibitory effect on P. aeruginosa (p<0.01) at all concentrations evaluated. Erythritol had an inhibitory effect on P. aeruginosa and S. aureus growth (p<0.01) at over 5% concentrations. The inhibitory effect of both Sanguitec gel formulations was more broadly effective, with an increasingly inhibitory effect on all LCWB species (p<0.01). Conclusion: The LCWB model provides a multi-species format with which to evaluate the effect of biofilm effectors on wound flora in a biofilm phenotype. These results suggest that different treatments can target specific populations within a biofilm. Salicylic acid preferentially targeted S. aureus, xylitol preferentially targeted P. aeruginosa, while erythritol preferentially targeted both P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. In contrast, the two Sanguitec gel formulations provided a broad, less preferential, inhibition of biofilm development. Declaration of interest: Research and Testing Laboratory is a for-profit enterprise that develops molecular methods and performs service research work on biofilms. Sanguitec gel was developed by JPK and CEJ.

AB  - Although the release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment often creates liability for both cleanup costs and natural resource damages liability, the process of planning and conducting cleanup and the process of assessing natural resource damages are most often conducted separately. However, the substantial similarities between the two processes often present opportunities to integrate significant steps in each. Such integration has the potential to reduce both the cost of measuring and, often, resolving the full range of environmental claims at a given cleanup site and the time it takes to do so. It can also lead to faster restoration of injured natural resources and the services they provide to the public and the environment. One key reason for the lack of integration is the fact that cleanup managers generally know little if anything about the natural resource damage assessment process, while the public officials authorized to assess damages to natural resources know little about the cleanup process. This article identifies the similarities between the cleanup and natural resource damage assessment processes and provides guidance on when and how to integrate the two. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB  - A considerable investment in post-fire research over the past decade has improved our understanding of wildfire effects on soil, hydrology, erosion and erosion-mitigation treatment effectiveness. Using this new knowledge, we have developed several tools to assist land managers with post-wildfire assessment and treatment decisions, such as prediction models, research syntheses, equipment and methods for field measurements, reference catalogues and databases of past-practice, and spreadsheets for calculating resource valuation and cost-benefit analysis. These tools provide relevant science to post-fire assessment teams and land managers in formats that often can be directly entered into assessment and treatment decision-making protocols. Providing public access to these tools through the internet not only has increased their dissemination, but also has allowed them to be updated and improved as new knowledge and technology become available. The use of these science-based tools has facilitated a broader application of current knowledge to post-fire management in the United States and in other fire-prone areas around the world. Several tools have been developed to support post-wildfire assessment and treatment decision making, such as prediction models, field measurement methods, research syntheses, reference catalogues and databases, and calculation spreadsheets for resource valuation. These tools provide relevant science in usable formats to facilitate the use of current knowledge in post-wildfire management decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article reviews two Real Time Monitoring (RTM) initiatives in Uganda that utilise RapidSMS technology. mTrac uses mobile phones to transmit local health information, including disease surveillance, malaria treatment and drug stocks. This electronic-based reporting system replaced a paper-based one, enabling actionable information to be delivered more quickly. Its early success in Uganda suggests that similar systems could be introduced elsewhere to achieve cost-savings and more efficient monitoring of key supply and demand health indicators in vulnerable areas. U-report offers young Ugandans a chance to voice their opinions on pertinent issues by giving them access to a free SMS service through which they can send in text messages, respond to polls, and receive factual information and results. Although the objective is to empower all youth, U-reporters often tackle issues that address the needs of vulnerable children and communities. The ability to target polls by regions is an exciting feature, and further research is warranted to better understand U-report's sampling potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The endoglucanase I (EGI) and the cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei form a homologous pair of cellulolytic enzymes which nevertheless have different modes of action. We show here that the action of CBHI on bacterial microcrystalline cellulose results in efficient solubilisation but only a slow decrease in its degree of polymerisation. In contrast, the action of EGI results in a rapid decrease of the degree of polymerisation but less efficient overall solubilisation of the substrate. CBHI alone was practically inactive toward cotton which has a high initial degree of polymerisation and a complex morphology. EGI rapidly reduced the degree of polymerisation of cotton, and slowly solubilised part of it. Working synergistically, EGI and CBHI solubilised cotton more rapidly and to a greater extent than EGI alone. Our data are consistent with the exoglucanase nature of CBHI and also provide some evidence supporting its processive mode of action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pseudomonas flavescens strain B62 (NCPPB 3063) is a recently described bacterium isolated from walnut blight cankers. This strain has been designated as the type strain of a Pseudomonas rRNA groupI species. Strain B62 produced a mixture of two exopolysaccharides, differing in weight average relative molecular mass and composition. Only the most abundant exopolysaccharide (90 % by mass), corresponding to the one with the lower molecular mass, was investigated by use of methylation analysis, partial acid hydrolysis, and NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide was depolymerised by the action of the cellulase produced by Penicillum funiculosum and the oligosaccharide obtained, corresponding to the repeating unit, was characterised by NMR spectroscopy and ion-spray mass spectrometry. The repeating unit of the B62 exopolysaccharide is AcAc ∣∣ 66 ←4)-β-D-Xp-(1←4)-β-D-Glcp-(1← 3 ↑ 1 α-L-Fucp 4 ↑ 1 4-O-L-Lac-β-D-GlcpA where X is glucose (75 %) or mannose (25 %), and Lac is lactate. The O-acetyl groups are present only on 75 % of the repeating units, and they are linked to the C6 of the hexose residues in non-stoichiometric amounts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nascent synthesis and accumulation of germin and its mRNA mark the onset of renewed growth when wheat embryos are germinated in water. Germin is a water-soluble, pepsin-resistant protein that is not found in immature embryos, or in mature embryos before their germination. An antiserum was raised by injecting rabbits with germin that was freed of other proteins by pepsinization and gel filtration. The antiserum has been used to detect, in extracts of mature embryos from dry, ungerminated wheat grains, a protein that is antigenically related to germin. The antigenically related protein has been named pseudogermin. Pseudogermin accumulates, maximally, between 20–25-days postanthesis, then declines appreciably in amount by 30-days postanthesis, in soluble extracts of immature embryos from several wheat varieties. The antiserum was also used to identify germin and pseudogermin among the proteins extracted from cell walls and to bind immunogold to cell walls preparatory to visualizing freeze-cleaved embryos by scanning electron microscopy. Wall-associated germin accounts for about 40% of the total germin in germinating wheat embryos. Appearance of germin in the apoplast is the most conspicuous germination-related change in the distribution of cell- wall proteins. It seems that germin may act at the level of the apoplast and that pseudogermin may subsume the role of germin at low water potentials during embryogenesis. The N-terminal eicosapeptide sequences in germin and pseudogermin are very similar but SDS/PAGE analysis detects discrete differences between the mobilities of their constituent monomers as well as gross differences between the stabilities of the parent oligomers. Like germin, pseudogermin is a water-soluble, pepsin- resistant protein, but pseudogermin has unprecedented disulphide-independent thermostability properties that have never been previously reported for a water-soluble oligomeric protein. Poly- saccharides that co-purify with otherwise pure specimens of germin (and pseudogermin) have been isolated for analysis and shown to be highly substituted glucuronogalactoarabinoxylans. The possible biological significance of selective and tenacious association between germin and glucuronogalactoarabinoxylans is discussed in relation to cell expansion during embryogenic and germinative development of wheat, as are some peculiarities of amino-acid sequence that suggest a possible relation between germin and a proton-specific ion pump: gastric ATPase.

AB  - 1. Pensicinon palmeri is a short-lived perennial herb that occupies early-successional habitats at mid altitude in the semi-arid south-western United States. Laboratory germination experiments with seeds from nine populations showed that most seeds were non-dormant at autumn temperatures (15 °C). but a majority required light for germination. Moist chilling at winter temperatures (1°C) for 4 weeks induced secondary dormancy in about half the seeds, whilst moist incubation at superoptimal summer temperatures (30 °C) for 2 weeks removed most primary and chilling-induced secondary dormancy, prevented the induction of dormancy by chilling, and reduced the proportion of light-requiring seeds. The effect of 1 °C and 30°C treatments persisted or were increased through drying. 2. A 2-year field retrieval experiment with seeds from three populations showed that dormancy induction during winter arid release from dormancy during summer functioned as predicted from laboratory experiments to confine germination to periods during autumn or early spring and to permit year-to-year persistence of the seed bank. 3. Cyclic dormancy patterns demonstrated for Penstemon palmeri are similar to those described for facultative winter annual weeds. However, because chilling causes the seed population to diverge into spring-germinable and spring-dormant fractions, its seed bank can persist from year to year without burial. 4. There were no clear habitat-correlated differences in germination patterns among populations, and populations from contrasting habitats showed similar and appropriate field responses. This suggests that Penstemon palmeri is a generalist in terms of germination pattern [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study evaluated the production of dry fermented salami associated with an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in Washington State and California. Methods. Facility inspections, review of plant monitoring data, food handler interviews, and microbiological testing of salami products were conducted. Results. Production methods complied with federal requirements and industry-developed good manufacturing practices. No evidence suggested that postprocessing contamination occurred. Calculations suggested that the infectious dose was smaller than 50 E. coli O157:H7 bacteria. Conclusions. Dry fermented salami can serve as a vehicle of transmission for O157:H7 strains. Our investigation and prior laboratory studies suggest that E. coli O157:H7 can survive currently accepted processing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. Hyperinflation began in early 1992 in the former Soviet Union. This paper describes factors associated with nutritional status that year among elderly pensioners. Methods. Approximately 300 pensioners were selected randomly in each of eight cities. Surveys of diet, weight, health status, and social and economic conditions were done between June and December 1992. This paper reports on 2281 completed questionnaires. Results. Half the pensioners reported that they had lost 5 or more kilograms in the prior 6 months; 57% did not have enough money to buy food, and 39% needed medicines they could not afford. Forty percent consumed less than a half kilogram of meat, 50% consumed less than a half kilogram of fruit, a third consumed less than a liter of milk, and a third consumed less than 2 Kg of bread per week. Weight loss was strongly associated with not having enough money to buy food, an inability to afford medication, and consumption of fewer than three meals a day. Concurrent with these conditions, there was a large increase in mortality in Russia. Conclusions. The results of these surveys suggest that many elderly pensioners were experiencing severe nutritional deprivation in the latter half of 1992. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study provides revised baseline data for the Healthy People 2000 objective related to fruit and vegetable intakes, accounting for fruits and vegetables from all sources and measuring servings in a manner consistent with current dietary guidance. Methods. Dietary data from 8181 adults in the US Department of Agriculture's 1989-1991 Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals were examined. All foods were disaggregated into their component ingredients; all fruit and vegetable ingredients were assigned specific weights to correspond to a serving as defined by current dietary guidance materials; and the number of servings was tallied. Results. While mean intakes of fruits and vegetables--4.3 servings per day--were not far from the Year 2000 objective, only 32% of American adults' intakes met the objective. When more stringent standards were set either to compensate for higher calorie levels or to achieve the balance between fruits and vegetables suggested in current guidance, only 24% and 12%, respectively, met the recommendations. Conclusions. These results suggest a need to develop strategies for overcoming barriers to eating fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This article uses folic acid as an example to illustrate some of the complex issues and general principles that emerge when evaluating fortification of the food supply as one possible means to address a public health recommendation. Methods. Distributions of current daily folate intakes from conventional foods and dietary supplements were estimated. Intakes that might result from fortification of cereal-grain products and ready-to-eat cereals at various levels for eight age-gender groups were also estimated by using the US Department of Agriculture's 1987-1988 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Results. The results illustrate that fortification of the US food supply tends to increase folate intakes of consumers at the high end of the intake distribution curves in the target population. Conclusions. The effectiveness of food fortification options for a target population and the safety for the general population impose conflicting challenges that must be considered concurrently when making decisions about fortifying the US food supply.

AB  - Objectives. The purpose of this study was lo determine whether diet adversely affected survival among 2572 older persons with indicators of kidney disease in a population-based cohort. Average follow-up time for survivors, of whom 1453 (57%) had died at analysis, was 14.5 years. Methods. Kidney disease indicators were a "yes" response to "Has a doctor ever told you that you have kidney disease or renal stones?" and/or trace or greater amounts of protein in urine. Dietary protein intakes were calculated from 24-hour recalls. Results. Cox proportional hazards models were used, stratified by sex. with age, body mass index, blood pressure, education, smoking status. total caloric intake, and diabetes mellitus as covariates. Relative risk of total mortality with an additional 15 g of protein per day was 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0% 1.42) among White men with kidney disease indicators, vs 1.00 (95% CI = 0.95, 1.06) among those without them; relative risks of renal-related mortality were 1.32 (95% CI = 0.97, 1.79) and 0.95 (95% CI = 0.81, 1.11), respectively. No significant differences were found for White women. Conclusions. Once chronic renal disease is present, diet may be associated with earlier mortality in White males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. Despite the rapid growth of the US physician supply since the mid-1970s, it remains unclear whether physicians have spread into the most rural areas of the country. This report examines the urban-rural distribution of physicians between 1975 and 1988. Methods. A county-based typology of the urban-rural continuum was employed to examine trends in the supply of nonfederal primary care physicians, specialist physicians, and osteopaths. Results. All urban and rural areas gained physicians during the late 1970s and 1980s. The supply of physicians increased most rapidly in metropolitan counties. Within nonmetropolitan areas, urbanized remote counties became more prominent centers of the physician supply. Osteopaths were more likely to locate in the most rural areas than allopaths. The physician supply in all areas also became more specialized over time. Conclusion. The rapid growth of the US physician supply was associated with the spread of more practitioners into all parts of the country. However, the supply of physicians increased most rapidly in urban areas, widening urban-rural differences in the availability of physicians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1. Relationships between grizzly bears, habitat, and roads were investigated between 1990 and 1994 in the Swan Mountains, Montana. Relationships were examined at three levels of resource selection. 2. Differences existed between habitat and road features within, and those outside, the multi-year composite female grizzly bear home range. Using logistic regression, large resource selection probability functions were obtained for the subalpine zone within multiple-use lands having no roads. Selection probability was zero for private lands and declined as total road density increased. 3. Within seasonal ranges, most grizzly bears favoured low temperate and temperate elevation zones over the subalpine zone during all seasons. Relative to forested habitats, avalanche chutes were positively selected for during all seasons, but especially in spring. Shrub lands and cutting units were important to most bears during summer and autumn. Grizzly bears were more closely associated with higher total road densities during spring than during other seasons. When in low temperate habitats, most bears used habitats with lower total road density than occurred randomly. 4. Seasonal use by grizzly bears of areas within a 0⋅5 km buffer surrounding roads was evaluated. Most grizzly bears exhibited either neutral or positive selection for buffers surrounding closed roads and roads receiving <10 vehicles per day but avoided buffers surrounding roads having >10 vehicles per day. 4. Between 1988 and 1994, eight grizzly bears were killed by humans. These deaths were directly influenced by road access and unnatural food sources. These deaths, in addition to natural mortality, were too great to promote local population growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Deformations of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir trees were surveyed for the purpose of determining climatic wind speeds and directions and snow depths in the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in the Snowy Range of southeastern Wyoming, USA. Tree deformations were recorded at 50- and 100-m grid intervals over areas of c. 30 ha and 300 ha, respectively, over the GLEES. The climatic mean wind speed was estimated to be 7-4m s-1; the mean air flow was predominantly westerly. The snow depths ranged from less than 0.2m to 5.5m. depending on topographic features and vegetative architecture. Compared with snow depth surveys, precipitation measurements, and a degree-day snow depth model, the average snow depth estimated by the tree deformation method was 70% of the long-term mean. The tree deformation method was useful for detailed estimates of wind speed, wind direction, and snow depth at a fine scale in complex terrain where meteorological instrumentation and snow survey data are minimal.

AB  - Studies of the effects of applications of locust insecticides on birds were conducted in the savannah of northern Senegal in 1989. The insecticides studied were fenitrothion at 485 and 825 g ha-1 and chlorpyrifos at 270 and 387 g ha-1. Total bird numbers decreased on all treated plots. Decreases in three of the most abundant species were significant on the fenitrothion plots. Some of the decrease was due to bird mortality, but apparently most of it represented movements of birds in reaction to a reduction in their arthropod food. The reduction in grasshoppers was four times greater on the fenitrothion plots than on the chlorpyrifos plots, and this difference was reflected by a decrease in the insect foods eaten by birds after the treatments.

AB  - Objectives. Understanding the nutritional consequences of food insufficiency is important for informed policy-making that addresses the problem of domestic hunger. This study estimated the extent to which individuals from food-insufficient households were likely to have low intakes of energy and 14 other nutrients. Methods. The diets of preschoolers, adult women, and the elderly were analyzed with 24-hour recall data from the 1989 through 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the association of self-reported household food insufficiency with nutrient intakes below 50% of the recommended daily allowance. Results. For adult women, food insufficiency was significantly associated with low intakes of eight nutrients, including energy, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, C, and B6. Elderly individuals in the food-insufficient group were also more likely to have low intakes of eight nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamins A and B6. Household food insufficiency was not significantly associated with low intakes among preschoolers. Conclusions. The results validate the use of self-reported hunger measures in nutritional surveillance and highlight nutrients of concern for food assistance and nutrition education efforts targeted at individuals from food-insufficient households.

AB  - The article presents a study which aims to determine whether a multistate fast food hamburger-associated outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection involved Las Vegas residents. E. coli 0157:H7 is an important cause of nonbloody diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and hemolytic uremic syndrome.' This serotype of E. coli differs from most in that it ferments sorbitol slowly or not at all. Confirmation of E. coil 0157:H7 infections by local laboratories in Washington State enabled public health officials there to identify an outbreak in January 1993 and to implicate hamburgers from a particular fast food chain (chain A). Although E. coli 0157:117 infection was also reportable in Nevada, no cases were reported there during this period. On January 22, the health district issued a press release, naming chain A hut requesting notification of all cases of bloody diarrhea. The health district was flooded with calls and began an investigation into the magnitude and cause of the outbreak.

AB  - We assessed the effect of two common mutations in the lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL), D9N and N291S, which have been shown to modulate plasma lipids in a wide spectrum of patients.A total of 1 114 men and 1 144 women from the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS) were analyzed for these two LPL variants. Subsequently, the association with fasting plasma lipids and risk of coronary artery disease (CHD) was determined. We extended our study by calculating weighed means of lipids and lipoproteins in carriers and non-carriers for these LPL mutations in patients with genetic dyslipidemias, CHD patients and healthy controls.In the FOS sample, the D9N and N291S alleles were associated with lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (Δ=-0.07 mmol/l, p=0.03) and a trend towards increased triglycerides (Δ=0.25 mmol/l, p=0.07). In women, a trend towards the high triglyceride, low HDL-C phenotype was evident (Δ=-0.02 mmol/l for HDL-C and Δ=0.14 mmol/l for triglycerides, respectively). Cumulative analysis of other studies of male carriers of the D9N and N291S revealed higher levels of triglycerides (D291N; 2.60(1.85) mmol/l vs. 1.62(1.18) mmol/l: p<0.0001) (D9N; 1.94 (1.19) mmol/l vs. 1.74(1.17) mmol/l: p<0.001) and lower HDL-C (N291S; 1.04(0.32) mmol/l vs. 1.15(0.28) mmol/l: p<0.0001) (D9N; 1.08(0.24) mmol/l vs. 1.16(0.28) mmol/l: p<0.0001). In females, results differed with higher TG levels (N291S; 1.70(0.99) mmol/l vs. 1.10(0.63) mmol/l: p<0.001) (D9N; 1.08(0.76) mmol/l vs. 0.96(0.51) mmol/l: p<0.01) and lower HDL-C levels (N291S; 1.27(0.33) mmol/l vs. 1.51(0.32) mmol/l: p<0.0001); however, the HDL-C levels for D9N carriers were similar to non-carriers (D9N; 1.52(0.29) mmol/l vs. 1.53(0.35) mmol/l: p=0.83).Our data provide evidence that common variants of the LPL gene are significant modulators of lipid and lipoprotein levels in both men and women.

AB  - Genetic variation at the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) locus has been shown to influence plasma lipids and to modulate risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Recently, we found that the most frequent variant at this locus, involving a C-terminal truncation of two amino acids (Ser447X), was associated with both higher LPL activity and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in patients with CHD. However, the impact of this S447X variant on lipids and CHD in the general population was hitherto unknown. We, therefore, analyzed a total of 1 114 men and 1 144 women randomly ascertained from the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS) for the presence of this LPL variant. Carrier frequency of the S447X allele was 17%, and in men carrier status was associated with higher total cholesterol (Δ=6.2 mg/dl, p=0.03), higher HDL-C (Δ=2.3 mg/dl, p=0.01), and lower triglyceride (TG) levels (Δ=-19.4 mg/dl, p=0.02). Moreover, in men, the S447X allele conferred significant protection against CHD (odds ratio: 0.43; p=0.04). These effects on lipids and CHD were not seen in women. Our study represents the first report on the impact of this mutation on CHD in men from the general population, and we conclude, therefore, that the S447X variant may confer significant protection against high TG levels, low HDL-C, and premature CHD in these subjects.

AB  - The potential for using cell-free culture filtrate (CFCF) and toxin (phaseolinone) from <em>Macrophomina phaseolina</em> for rapid and effective screening procedures for charcoal rot resistance in guayule (Parthenium argentatum) germ-plasm was assessed. The CFCF and partially purified phaseolinone were incorporated into modified Murashige and Skoog solid medium at the rates of 0-100% (v/v) and 0-1000 μg ml-1 respectively. The medium pH was adjusted to 5.8 before solidifying with 0.8% agar. Four- week-old seedlings of 10 guayule genotypes were planted in the medium, incubated and rated for phytotoxic symptoms and tissue damage over a 15-day period. ln a green- house study, seedling growth, phytotoxicity and damage severity were compared in 12-week-old guayule seedlings root-inoculated with <em>M. phaseolina</em> microsclerotia. There were significant differences (P = 0.05) in genotypic responses to the fungus, the filtrate and the toxin inoculations. Time until phytotoxic symptoms developed was inversely related to the concentrations of CFCF and the toxin. Phytotoxic symptoms were produced 6 days after exposure to 50% CFCF and 48h after exposure to 1000 μg ml-1 of partially purified phaseolinone. A comparison of photomicrographs of the control and toxin- treated root tissues revealed no damage to the control roots and extensive damage to epidermal layers of the treated roots, which was evident 48 h after exposure to 100 μg ml-1 level of phaseolinone. Significant correlations were found between tolerance to the fungus and insensitivity to the culture filtrate (r 0.89, P = 0.05) and the toxin (r = 0.95. P = 0.001) suggesting the possibility of screening for resistance to <em>M. phaseolina</em> using CFCF or phaseolinone. The genotypic reactions to the CFCF were also correlated with reactions to the toxin (r = 0.90, P = 0.05). Guayule breeding lines 'UC101' and 'P3-1' exhibited the greatest tolerance to the pathogen and insensitivity to the CFCF or the toxin whereas 'Ca16', 'Ca17', 'N576', 'N9-5', '11605' and 'N6-5' were very susceptible to the pathogen and sensitive to the CFCF or the toxin.

AB  - Untersucht wurde die mögliche Anwendung von zellfreiem Kulturfiltrat (CFCF) und dem Toxin (Phaseolinon) von <em>Macrophomina phaseolina</em> in einem schnellen and zuverlässigen Verfahren bei der Resistenzprüfung in Guayule (<em>Parthenium argentatum</em>). Das CFCF und das teilgereinigte Phaseolinon wurden dem modifizierten Murashige und Skoog-Agarmedium in den Konzentrationen 0 bis 100% (v/v) bzw. 0 bis 1000 μg/ml beigemischt. Der pH-Wert des Mediums wurde bei 5,8 eingestellt und anschlie&szling;end mit 0,8% Agar versehen. Vier Wochen alte Sämlinge von 10 Guayule-Genotypen wurden in diesen Medien gepflanzt, inkubiert und bonitiert auf phytotoxische Symptome and Gewebezerstörung über einem Zeitraum von 15 Tagen. Das Sämlingswachstum, die Phytotoxizitãt sowie die Befallsintensität warden in Gewächshausversachen mit 12 Wochen alten Guayule-Sämlingen verglichen, die über die Wurzeln mit <em>M. phaseolina</em>-Mikrosklerotien inokuliert worden waren. Signifikante Unterschiede (P = 0,05) wurden in der genotypische Reaktion gegenüber dem Pilz, dem Filtrat sowie dem Toxin ermittelt. Die Zeit nach der Applikation bis zur phytotoxischen Symptomausprägung war mit den CFCF- and Toxinkonzentrationen korreliert. Die phytotosischen Symptome erschienen 6 Tage nach einer Applikation von 50% igem CFCF bzw. 48 h nach der Applikation von 1000 μg/mI des teilgereinigten Phaseolinon. Ein Vergleich der Photomikrographen von Kontroll- und mit Toxin behandeltem Wurzelgewebe zeigte, da&szling; keine Zerstörung des Gewebes bei den Kontrollwurzeln zu erkennen war, jedoch bei den behandelten Wurzeln ausgedehnte Schäden der epidermalen Schichten zu erkennen waren. Diese Schaäden traten 48 h nach einer Behandlung mit 100 μg/ml Phaseolinon auf. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden zwischen einer Pilztoleranz und elner Insensitivität zum Kultratfiltrat (r = 0,89. P = 0,05) sowie dem Toxin (r = 0,96, P = 0,00 1) festgestellt. Dies deutet auf eine mögliche Anwendung von CFCF bzw. Phaseolinon beim Screening fur eine <em>M. phaseolina</em>-Resistenz. Die genotypischen Reaktionen gegenüber dem CFCF waren auch mit den Reaktionen zum Toxin (r = 0,90, P = 0,05) korreliert. Die Guayula-Zuchthrnen "UC101" and "P3-1" zeigten die höchste Pathogentoleranz und die höchste CFCF- bzw. Toxinsensitivitãt, die Linien "Ca16", "Ca17", "N576" "N9-5", "11605" und "N6-5" dagegen waren dem Pathogen gegenüber sehr anfällig und zeigten eine CFCF- und Toxinsensitivität.

AB  - Hypovirulent <em>Gaeumannomyces graminis</em> var. <em>tritici</em> strain L108hv, five strains of <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp., and a mixture of four of these bacterial strains were used individually and in combination for the suppression of take-all of wheat. In the growth chamber, L108hv and all five individual bacterial strains provided a significant reduction in take-all severity compared with an untreated control. Combination of L108hv and the bacteria did not significantly enhance the suppressiveness of either agent. In the field at Pullman, WA. 108hv significantly reduced crown root infection of winter wheat but not seminal root infection, while the reverse was true for a mixture of bacterial strains suggesting these agents may be more effective at different stages in disease development. In a second field trial at Pullman, yield of spring wheat was increased by 20.8%. In contrast, in two field trials at Mt. Vernon, WA, L108hv had no effect on take-all of spring wheat. We conclude that specific biocontrol agents may be better suited for certain environments and that biocontrol treatments should be customized for the target site. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Der hypovirulente Stamm L108hv von <em>Gaeumannomyces graminis</em> var. <em>triciti</em>, fünf Stämme von <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp. sowie eine Misehung aus vier der Bakterienstämme wurden einzeln und in Kombination zur Bekämpfung der Schwarzbeinigkeit des Weizens verwendet. In der Klimakammer reduzierten L108hv und alle fünf einzeln eingesetz ten Bakterienstämme die Befallsstärke im Vergleich zu einer unbehandelten Kontrolle signifIkant. Die Kombination von L108hv und den Bakterien steigerte die Suppressivität der einzelnen Komponenten der Mischung in keinem Fall signifikant. In Pullman (US-Bundesstaat Washigton) führte L108hv bei Winterweizen in einem Feldversuch bei den Hauptwurzeln, nicht aber bei den Nebenwurzeln zu einer signifikant schwächeren Infektion. Eine Mischung von Bakterienstämmen wirkte dagegem umgekehrt. Dies deutet darauf hin, daß die Organismen möglicherweise in verschiedenen Stadien der Krankheit unterschiedlich wirksam sind. In einem zweiten, ebenfalls in Pullman durchgeführten Feldversuch wurde cler Ertrag von Sommerweizen urn 20,8% erhöht. En zwei Feldversuchen in Mt. Vernon (US-Bundesstaat Washington) beeinfiußte L108hv die Schwarzbeinigkeit bei Sommerweizen jedoch nicht. Wir folgern. daß spezifisch wirkende, zur biologischen Bekämpfung eingesetzte Organismen möglicherweise besonders gut an bestimmte Umweltverhältnisse angepat sind, und daß eine biologische Bekämpfung an den jeweiligen Zielort individuell angepaßt sein sollte.

AB  - The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the ITS2 region of nuclear ribosomal DNA from six <em>Phytophthora</em> species which comprise taxonomic Group IV. Digestion of the ca. 600bp PCR product with restriction enzymes <em>Alul, Dral1. Hhal, Hinf I. MspI</em>, and <em>TaqI</em> revealed variation which allowed relationships among the species to be assessed. <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em> and <em>P. phaseoli</em> were indistinguishable from one another with all enzymes tested With <em>Alul</em> and <em>Taql. P. ilicis, P. colocasiae</em>', and <em>P. hibernalis</em> each showed unique banding patterns different from the common banding pattern shared by <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em>, and <em>P. hibernalis. Dral </em>. allowed differentiation of <em>P. ilicis</em> and <em>P. colocasiae</em> from <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em>, and <em>P. hibernalis</em>. all of which shared a common banding pattern. <em>HhaI</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. colocasiae</em> and <em>P. hibernalis</em> from <em>p. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em>, and <em>P. ilicis</em> <em>Hinf1</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. ilicis</em> and <em>P. hibernalis</em> (each of which showed a unique banding pattern) from <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli, and P. colocasiae. Mspl</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. hibernalis</em> from the other five species. Species groupings determined by restriction analysis of ITS2 were consistent with those based on morphological criteria. These results show that restriction analysis of PCR-amplified TS2 regions can be useful as an adjunct to morphological criteria in <em>Phytophthora</em> species identification.

AB  - Mit Hilfe der Polymerase-Keuenreaktion (PCR) wurde die Region ITS2 der für Ribosomen kodierenden Kern- DNA von sechs <em>Phytophthora-Arten amplifiziert</em>, die taxonomischen Gruppe IV gehören. Der Verdau 600 bp großen PCR-Produkts mit den Restriktionsenszymen <em>AluI, DraI, HhaI, Hinf I, MspI</em> und <em>TaqI</em> zeigte Variationen. die eine Erfassung der Beziehungen zwischen den Arten ermöglichten. <em>P. injestans, P. mirabilis </em>und <em>P. phaseoli</em> ließen sich mit keinem der geprüften Enzyme voneinander unterscheiden. Bei<em> Alul</em> und <em>Taql</em> zeigten <em>P. ilicis, P. colocasiae</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> jeweils spezifisehe Bandenmuster, Diese unterschieden sich von den gemeinsamen Bandenmustem der Arten <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em>. DraI erlaubte es. <em>P. ilicis</em> und <em>P. colocasiae</em> von <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. hibernalis abzugrenzen</em>, weiche em gemeinsames Bandenmuster aufwiesen. <em>Hhal</em> ermöglichte es, <em>P. colocasiae</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> von <em>P. infestans</em>, <em>P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. ilicis</em> zu unter- scheiden. <em>Hinf1</em> erlaubte die Abgrenzung von <em>P. ilicis</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> (die jeweils spezifische Bandenmuster aufwiesen) von <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. colocasiae</em>. MspI ermöglichte es. <em>P. hibernalis</em> von der Übrigen fünf Arten zu unterscheiden. Die aufgrund der Restriktionanalyse von ITS2 vorgenommene Einteilung der Arten in Gruppen entsprach der Einteilung nach morphologischen Kriterien. Die Ergebnisse zeigen. daß die Restriktionsanalyse von PCR-amplifizierten ITS2-Regionen neben den morphologischen Kriterien bei der Bestimmung von <em>Physophthora</em>-Arten von Nutzen sein kann.

AB  - Serological and biological comparisons were made among 45 seed-borne isolates of blackeye cowpea mosaic (BICMV) and 54 seed-borne isolates of cowpea aphid- borne mosaic (CAbMV) potyviruses derived from cowpea seedlots or young nursery-grown seedlings comprising 2112 germplasm accessions or pre-introduction seedlots of <em>Vigna unguiculata</em>. Isolates were identified by DAS-ELISA using polyclonal immunoglobulin G specific for these viruses. Twenty isolates of BICMV and 32 isolates of CAbMV were also compared by ACP-ELISA with selected monoclonal antibodies and by SDS-immu- nodiffusion. By all approaches, isolates of BICMV were clearly distinguished from CAbMV isolates. Isolate comparisons on selected cowpea genotypes (TVu-401, TVu- 1582, TVu-2657, and TVu-3433) partitioned most isolates into two distinct groups. A few isolates seed-borne in Indian cv. Pusa Phalguni, however, were clearly B1CMV by all serological tests, but behaved as CAbMV in definitive cowpea genotypes. Although BICMV is generally considered to be a `new world virus', both BICMV and CAbMV occurred in <em>V. unguiculata</em> seedlots originating in `old-world regions', including Afghanistan, Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa. Seed- borne CAbMV was isolated from 6 of 155 tested US <em>V. unguiculata</em> Germplasm accessions originating respectively, in Afghanistan (2), Botswana (2), India (I), and Pakistan (I).

AB  - Serologische und biologische Vergleiche wurden unter 45 samenbürtigen Isolaten der blackeye cowpea mosaic (B1CMV) and 54 samenburtigen der cowpea aphid-borne mosaic (CAbMV) Potyviren durchgefflhrt. Die Virus- isolate wurden eatweder aus Kuherbsen samenpartien, aus jungen, in Pflanzschulen herangezogenen Sãmlingen, die aus 2112 Germplasma-Accessionen zusammengesetzt waren, oder aus Samenpartien von <em>Vigna unguiculata</em>, die noch vor der Markteinfflhrung stehen, gewonnen. Die Isolate warden mit Hilfe des DASELISA mit für diese Vi ren spezifischen, polyki onalen Immunoglubulin G indentifiziert. Zwanzig BICMV-Isolate und 32 CAbMV- isolate wurden zusatzlich mit Hilfe des ACP-ELISA, mit selektierten monoklonalen Antikörpern, and der SDS- Immunodiffusion miteinander verglichen. Unabhangig von der Untersuchungsmethode konnten alle BICMV- Isolate deutlich von den CAbMV isolaten unterschieden werden. Isolatvergleiche an ausgewahlten K uherbsen- genotypen (TVu-401, TVu-1582, TVu-2657 und TVu- 3433) teilten fast alle loslate in zwei unterschiedliche Gruppen. Einige samenbürtige Isolate in Indian cv. Pusa Phalguni verhielten sich nach a lien serologischen Unter- suchungen deutlich wie BICMV, bei den definitiven Kuherbsengenotypen jedoch wie CAbMV. Obwohl BICMV in der Regel als "new world virus" angesehen wird, wurde sowohi BICMV als auch CAbMV in <em>V. unguiculata</em>-Samenpartien, die aus "old-world" Regionen stammten-u. a. Afghanistan, Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal und Sudafrika-nachgewiesen. Samen- burtiges CAbmY konnte aus 6 von 155 untersuchten nordamerikanischen <em>V. unguiculata</em>-Germplasma - Accessionen, die aus Afaghanistan (∼2), Botswana (2), Indien (1) bzw. Pakistan (1) srammten, nachgewiesen werden. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metabolities produced by the soilborne plant pathogen <em>Rhizoctonia solani</em> (R-23) and <em>Pythium ultimum</em> (PuZ3) grown on cellophane disks placed on photo-dextrose agar (PDA), molasses brewer's yeast agar (MYA) and wheat bran extract agar (BEA)did not significantly affect the rate of growth of isolates of the antagonists <em>Trichoderma viride</em> (TSI-R3, Tv-101), <em>T. harzianum</em> (Th-57, Th-87), <em>T. hamatum</em> (Tm-23, TRI-4), or <em>Glioctadium virens</em> (GI-3, GI-21) when these antagonists were grown on the three agars containing pathogen metabolities. However, in some instances, density of antagonist mycelium growing on the agar media as well as the observable production of antagonist conidia on the agar media were reduced. Using four antagonists in liquid cultures of potato-dextrose broth (PDB) containing metabolites of the pathogens grown on bran extract broth, metabolites from R-23 significantly reduced mycelial dry weight of Th-87 and Gl-21 but not that of TRl-4 and Gl-3. On the contrary, metabolites of PuZ3 increased the mycelial dry weight of all four antagonists. Metabolites of R-23 reduced production of conidia of only TRI-4, metabolites of PuZ3 significantly reduced production of conidia of all four antagonists. Pathogen metabolites did not affect germination of conidia in the system used. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Die bodenbürtigen Pflanzenpathogene <em>Rhizoctonia solani</em> (R-23) und <em>Pythium ultimum</em> (PuZ3) wurden auf Cellophansuheiben auf Kartoffel-Dextrose-Agar (PDA). Melasse-Hefe-Agar (MYA) bzw. Weizenkleieextrakt-Agar (BEA) inkubiert. Deren im Agar abgegebenen Metabolite beeinflußten kaum die Wachstumsrate von Isolaten der antagonistischen Pilzarten <em>Trichoderma viride</em> (TS-l-R3, Tv-101). <em>T. harzianum</em> (Th-57, Th-87). <em>T. hamatum</em> (Tm-23, TRI-4) oder <em>Gliocladium virens</em> (GI-3, GI-21), wenn diese Pilzarten auf den metabolithaltigen Nährmedien inokuliert worden waren. In einigen Fällen jedoch wurde beobachtet, daβ die Myzeldichte der Antagonisten sowie die Sporulation dieser Pilze deutlich reduziert wurde. Den Metaboliten der Pathogene, die in Weizenkleieextrakt-Bouillon produziert worden waren, wurde Kartofel-Dextrose-Bouillon (PDB) beigemischt. Anschließend wurde die PDB mit den vier Antagonisten angeimpft. Die durch R-23 produzierten Metabolite reduzierten das Myzeltrocken-gewicht von Th-87 und GI-21 signifikant aber nicht das von TRI-4 und GI-3. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde das Myzeltyrockengewicht von allen vier Antagonisten durch die PuZ3-Metabolite erhöht. Die R-23-Metabolite reduzierten die Konidienproduktion nur bei TRI-4; die PuZ3-Metabolite dagegen reduzierten die Konidienproduktion bei allen vier Antagonisten signifikant. Unter den Testbedingungen wurde die Konidien-keimung durch die Pathogenmetabolite nicht beeinflußt. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Teliospores from 12 races of <em>Tilletia tritici</em> (Bjerk.) Wint. and twelve isolates of <em>Tilletia controversa</em> (Kuhn) were sampled from field-inoculated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) differential cultivars. Proteins were extracted from the teliospores and analysed by one dimensional electrophoresis. An abundant 116 kD polypeptide detected m extracts from teliospores of all isolates of <em>T. controversa</em> was not detected in <em>T. tritici</em> teliospore extracts. Spores which were mechanically disrupted yielded greater quantities of the protein compared to intact teliospores, and this suggested the polypeptide was derived from within the teliospore. The presence of the polypeptide was correlated with dwarf bunt-causing <em>Tilletia</em>. Isolates of dwarf bunt-causing <em>Tilletia</em> that were intermediate between <em>T. tritici</em> and <em>T. controversa</em> in either morphology or germination characteristics contained the polypeptide while a common bunt-causing race of <em>T. tritici</em> (T18) with intermediate characteristics lacked the protein. The 116 kD polypeptide present in all T. controversa isolates may provide a stable biochemical marker for identification of these tesliospores in wheat shipments. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wint. und zwölf Isolaten von <em>Tilletia controversa</em> (Kuhn) wurden von feldinfizierten Weizenpflanzen (<em>Trisicum aestivum</em> L.) verschiedener Sorten gesammelt. Proteine der Brandsporen wurden extrahiert und mittels eindimensionaler Elektrophorese analysiert. Ein in allen Isolaten von <em>T. controversa</em> häufig vorkommendes Polypeptid mit 116 Kilodalton konnte in Extrakten von <em>T. tritici</em> nicht beobachtet werden. Mechanisch beschädigte Sporen gaben grö&szling;ere Mengen dieses Proteins im Vergleich zu unbeschädigten Sporen, was darauf schlie&szling;en lä&szling;t, da&szling; diese Polypeptide in den Brandsporen enthalten sind. Das Vorkommen der Polypeptide ist mit dem Auftreten von <em>Tilletia controversa</em>, dem Erreger des Zwergbrandes, korreliert. Isolate von Zwergbrand verursachenden <em>Tilletien</em>, die sowohl morphologisch als auch nach ihrer Keimfähigkeit intermediär zwischen <em>T. tritici</em> und <em>T. controversa</em> lagen, enthielten das Polypeptid, während Stämme von <em>T. tritici</em> (T18) mit intermediären Eigenschaften dieses Protem nicht besa&szling;en. Das in alien <em>T. controversa</em> Isolaten gefundene 116 kD Polypeptid ist möglicherweise ein stabiler biochemischer Marker zur Identiftzierung dieser Brandsporen in Weizenlieferungen.

AB  - Isolates of <em>Phytophthora infestans</em> were collected from all potato growing regions of Poland during the blight seasons of 1987-1989. All 1987 isolates were of Al mating type and were sensitive to metalaxyl. In 1988 and 1989, 46.5% and 55.3% of the isolates were sensitive to metalaxyl, respectively. The percentage of highly resistant (R) isolates increased from 25.6% in 1988 to 39.5 % in 1989; however the percentage of intermediately resistant (J) isolates decreased during that period from 27.9% to 5.3 %. A significant association was observed between the Al compatibility type and metalaxyl resistance. The A2 mating type first appeared in 1988, and its frequency increased from 4.7 % of the population in 1988 to 47.6% in 1989. Coincident with this change in mating type frequency, changes in ploidy levels of isolates were observed. Whereas 3% of the 1988 isolates were diploid, 90% of the 1989 A2 isolates and 28.6% of the 1989 A1 isolates were diploid. The approximate 1:1 ratio of the two mating types encountered in 1989, and the predominance of diploidy, indicates that the Polish population of <em>P. infestans</em> has the potential to become sexual.

AB  - Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Century) seedlings were germinated in vermiculite, sub-irrigated with a complete nutrient solution, without nitrogen or supplemented with 10 mM KNO3, 5 mM (NH4)2SO4, or 5 mM NH4NO3. After 14 days in the light, or 5 days in the dark, tissues from different organs were harvested separately. Similarly, tissues from different organs from 14- or 21-day-old nodulated or non-nodulated soybean seedlings, maintained in the absence of nitrogen, were harvested. Proteins and total RNA were isolated from the different plant organs and used for immunoblot and RNA blot analyses, respectively. Protein or RNA blots were separately incubated with antisera or hybridized with probes specific for either ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) or NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT). The specific activity and the abundance of the Fd-GOGAT peptide and transcript increased, approximately 3–10 times, in cotyledons and hypocotyls/stems in plants germinated in the light compared with those germinated in the dark. Fd-GOGAT activity, peptide, and transcript were highest in leaves. Except for increases in the specific activity of samples from roots treated with (NH4)2SO4 or NH4NO3, there were minor or no changes in Fd-GOGAT activity, peptide and transcript among organs of seedlings treated with different nitrogen sources or by nodulation. Low levels of NADH-GOGAT transcript were detected in all organs. NADH-GOGAT activity, peptide, and transcript increased in roots of seedlings treated with different nitrogen sources, but these changes were more apparent on RNA blots versus immunoblots. The highest NADH-GOGAT activity and most abundant amounts of the peptide and transcript were observed in nodules. Despite being induced by different environmental factors, both GOGAT activities are controlled, at least in part,... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Photosystem II (PSII) reaction center is an intrinsic membrane-protein complex in the chloroplast that catalyzes primary charge separation between P680, a chlorophyll a dimer, and the primary quinone acceptor QA. This supramolecular protein complex consists of D1, D2, α and β subunits of cytochrome b559, the psbI gene product, and a few low molecular mass proteins. Ligated to this complex are pigments: chlorophyll a, pheophytin a, β-carotenes, and non-heme iron. One of the major outcomes of light-mediated photochemistry is the fact that in the light, D1 protein is rapidly turned over compared to the other proteins of the reaction center; the relative lability of proteins being: D1>D2>Cyt b559. D1 degradation in visible light exhibits complex, multiphasic kinetics. D1 degradation can be uncoupled from photosynthetic electron transport, which suggests that degradation may perform some separate function(s) beyond maintaining photosynthetic activity. The presence of a physiologically relevant level of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation in a background of photosynthetically active radiation stimulates D1/D2 heterodimer degradation in a synergistic manner. D1 undergoes several post-translational modifications including N-acetylation, phosphorylation, and palmitoylation. Light-dependent phosphorylation of D1 occurs in all flowering plants but not in the green alga Chlamydomonas or in cyanobacteria, and the same may be true for D2. The roles of these modifications in D1/D2 assembly, turnover, or function are still a matter of conjecture. Nor do we yet know about the fate of the liganded pigments, such as the chlorophyll and carotenoids bound to the reaction center proteins. Environmental extremes that negatively impact photosynthesis seem to involve D1 metabolism. Thus, D1 protein is a major factor of PSII instability, and its replacement after its degradation is a primary component of the PSII repair cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fifty-one cowpea {Vigna unguiculata) cultivars and lines were tested by mechanical inoculation against seven geographically and pathogenically diverse isolates of blackeye cowpea mosaic potyvirus (BICMV), to identify genetic resources with comprehensive BICMV resistance. Five genotypes, IT 80S 2049, Big Boy, Corona, Serido, and Tennessee Cream #8 were immune from all seven isolates, and an additional three genotypes, TVu-2657, TVu-2740, and TVu-3433, were immune from all isolates except PU-7B, an aberrant BICMV isolate. The diversity among BICMV isolates was illustrated by the range of responses to inoculation among cowpea genotypes, many of which were either immune from or tolerant of individual BICMV isolates.

AB  - Pseudomonas fluorescens strain PFM2, antagonists to Septoria tritici, also inhibited growth of several other phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi in vitro. Three inhibitory compounds were extracted liquid glycerol-peptone-phosphate medium in which strain PFM2 was grown for 4 weeks. The compound recovered in greatest quantity (70 mg/l) was identified as 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol. The other two antibiotics, which were produced in small amounts (<5 mg/l), were not identified. A similar pattern of inhibition against the different bacteria and fungi was exhibited by both 2,4-diacetylphloro-glucinol and strain PFM2 when grown in a medium of the same composition as that in which the antibiotic was produced.

AB  - Seven strains of Arthrobacter globiformis , and one each of A. crystallopoietes and A. nicotianae , isolated from the water fern Azolla, were cultured for 2–3 d at 30 °C on Pseudomonas Agar F to obtain rods and for 5 d to obtain cocci, then analysed for total cellular fatty acids. In rods, saturated iso - and anteiso -branched 13–19 carbon fatty acids averaged 85% of the total in A. globiformis , 81% in A. crystallopoietes , and 97% in A. nicotianae . Minor components included unsaturated branched chains, hydroxy and cyclopropane fatty acids. Fatty acid composition of A. globiformis was similar to that of A. crystallopoietes but different from that of A. nicotianae . Saturated straight chains in A. nicotianae averaged 1·5% of the total compared with 14–16% in A. globiformis/crystallopoietes , and anteiso -15:0 constituted 73% of the total in A. nicotianae compared with 18–19% in the other species. Composition of cocci was different from that of rods in A. globiformis and A. crystallopoietes. As cells changed from rods to cocci, percentages of saturated and unsaturated straight chains decreased and saturated iso - and anteiso -branched chains increased. In A. nicotianae there were no significant differences in the fatty acids between rods and cocci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

These species were isolated from Portuguese almonds and maize. An investigation examined morphology, extrolite production and DNA sequence data to characterize these isolates and describe the new species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. transmontanensis and A. sergii form a clade with A. parasiticus whereas A. mottae shares a most recent common ancestor with the combined A. flavus and A. parasiticus clade [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vernonia oil is obtained by extraction from Vernonia galamensis seeds. It is a triglyceride containing 70-80 % vernolic acid (12,13-epoxy-9-decenoic acid). With approximately three epoxy groups per molecule, vernonia oil is a good raw material for new product development and many derivatives have been reported. In this work we report for the first time direct polymerization of vernonia oil through cationic means. The reaction entails the use of fluorosulfonic acid as a catalyst and 25-35 °C. Depending on the level of acid catalyst used, the products can range from a viscous oil to a completely insoluble resin. These products have been characterized by NMR and FT-IR. The polymer may perhaps find applications as a thickener in lubricants and oil-based commercial formulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Density is one of the most important physical properties of a chemical compound, affecting numerous applications. An application in the case of fatty acid esters (biodiesel) is that density is specified in some biodiesel standards. In the present work, the density of fatty acid methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl esters as well as triacylglycerols in the C-C range was determined in the range of 15-40 °C with a densitometer utilizing the oscillating U-tube technique. Literature data on density are compiled and compared, showing that data for these compounds are incomplete with discrepancies existing in some cases. Besides known effects such as density decreasing with increasing chain length and increasing saturation, it is shown that trans fatty compounds exhibit lower density than cis fatty compounds.

AB  - Prescribed fire in rangeland ecosystems is applied for a variety of management objectives, including enhancing productivity of forage species for domestic livestock. In the big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) steppe of the western United States, fire has been a natural and prescribed disturbance, temporarily shifting vegetation from shrub--grass codominance to grass dominance. There is limited information on the impacts of grazing to community dynamics following fire in big sagebrush steppe. This study evaluated cattle grazing impacts over four growing seasons after prescribed fire on Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp. Wyomingensis [Beetle & Young] Welsh) steppe in eastern Oregon. Treatments included no grazing on burned and unburned sagebrush steppe, two summer-grazing applications after fire, and two spring-grazing applications after fire. Treatment plots were burned in fall 2002. Grazing trials were applied from 2003 to 2005. Vegetation dynamics in the treatments were evaluated by quantifying herbaceous canopy cover, density, annual yield, and perennial grass seed yield. Seed production was greater in the ungrazed burn treatments than in all burn--grazed treatments; however, these differences did not affect community recovery after fire. Other herbaceous response variables (cover, density, composition, and annual yield), bare ground, and soil surface litter did not differ among grazed and ungrazed burn treatments. All burn treatments (grazed and ungrazed) had greater herbaceous cover, herbaceous standing crop, herbaceous annual yield, and grass seed production than the unburned treatment by the second or third year after fire. The results demonstrated that properly applied livestock grazing after low-severity, prescribed fire will not hinder the recovery of herbaceous plant communities in Wyoming big sagebrush steppe.

AB  - El fuego prescrito en los ecosistemas de pastizales se aplica para una variedad de objetivos de manejo que incluyen mejorar la productividad de especies de forraje para el ganado doméstico. En un estepa de artemisa (Artemisia tridentaza Nutt.) del oeste de los Estados Unidos, el fuego ha sido un disturbio natural y preescrito temporalmente intercambiando la vegetación de una codominancia de arbusto-grama a una dominancia de grama. Hay información limitada sobre los impactos del pastoreo en las dinámicas de la comunidad posterior al fuego en una estepa de artemisa. Este estudio evaluó los impactos del pastoreo de ganado por sobre cuatro temporadas de crecimiento después un fuego prescrito en una estepa de artemisa tridentata de Wyoming (Artemisia tridentaza subsp. Wyomingensis [Beetle & Young] Welsh) en el este de Oregón. Los tratamientos incluyeron: no pastoreo en estepa de artemisa quemada y no quemada, dos aplicaciones de pastoreo en el verano luego del fuego y dos aplicaciones de pastoreo en la primavera luego del fuego. Las parcelas de tratamientos fueron quemadas en el otoño del 2002. Los transectos de pastoreo se aplicaron a partir de 2003-2005. La dinámica de la vegetación en los tratamientos fue evaluada mediante la cuantificación de la cubierta del dosel herbáceo, densidad, rendimiento anual, y el rendimiento de semillas de gramas perennes. La producción de semillas fue mayor en el tratamiento quemado sin pastoreo que en todos los tratamientos quemados con pastoreo; sin embargo, estas diferencias no afectaron la recuperación de la comunidad después del fuego. Otras respuestas variables de las herbáceas (cubierta, densidad, composición, y rendimiento anual), suelo desnudo y la materia orgánica en la superficie del suelo no difieren entre los tratamientos quemados pastados y no pastados. Todos los tratamientos quemados (pastado y no pastado) tuvieron mayor cobertura de herbáceas, cultivo de herbáceas permanente, rendimiento anual de herbáceas y producción de semillas de grama que el tratamiento no quemado por segundo ó tercer año después del fuego. Los resultados demuestran que el pastoreo de ganado propiamente aplicado después de un fuego prescrito de baja intensidad no debe entorpecer con la recuperación de las comunidades de herbáceas en la estepa de artemisa tridentata de Wyoming.

AB  - Over the past century, fire has been widely suppressed in the western Great Plains, in part because of the potential negative effects on forage production for livestock. More recently, interest in the use of prescribed fire in shortgrass steppe has increased because of the potential applications for wildlife management, control of unpalatable plant species, and restoration of historic disturbance regimes. We studied the effects of prescribed burns conducted during late winter on herbaceous production, forage nitrogen content, and plant species composition of shortgrass steppe on the Pawnee National Grassland in northeastern Colorado. Late-winter burns conducted in moderately grazed sites under a wide range of precipitation conditions during 1997-2001 did not negatively affect herbaceous production in either the first or the second postburn growing season. Burning followed by a severe drought in 2002 reduced production by 19% in the second postburn growing season of 2003. Burns temporarily suppressed the abundance of broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae) and prickly pear cactus (Opuntia polyacantha) and enhanced forage nitrogen content during May and June of the first postburn growing season. These findings suggest that, except following severe drought, prescribed burns conducted during late winter in grazed shortgrass steppe for objectives unrelated to livestock production can also have neutral or positive consequences for livestock.

AB  - Durante el último siglo, el fuego ha sido ampliamente excluido en las grandes planicies del oeste de los Estados Unidos, en parte debido a los efectos negativos potenciales en la producción de forraje para el ganado. Más recientemente, el interés en el uso de las quemas prescritas en los pastizales cortos ha aumentado por razón del uso potencial para el manejo de la fauna silvestre, control de las plantas no deseables y la recuperación de los regímenes históricos de disturbios. Se estudió el efecto de las quemas prescritas hechas al final del invierno en la producción de herbáceas, contenido de nitrógeno del forraje y la composición de especies en un pastizal corto en el Noreste del estado de Colorado, en los pastizales nacionales de Pawnee. Las quemas efectuadas al final del invierno en sitios moderadamente pastoreados, bajo un amplio rango de condiciones de precipitación durante 1997-2001 no afectaron negativamente la producción de forraje tanto en la primera como en la segunda época de crecimiento después de la quema. La quema seguida de una sequia severa durante 2002 redujo la producción alrededor de 19% en la segunda época de crecimiento después de la quema durante 2003. Las quemas controlaron temporalmente la abundancia de la escobilla (Gutierrezia sarothrae) y el nopal (Opuntia polyacantba), e incrementaron el contenido de nitrógeno del forraje durante los meses de mayo y junio después de la quema durante la primera época de crecimiento. Estos resultados sugieren que con la excepción de una sequía severa después de la quema, que las quemas prescritas que se hacen al final del invierno en pastizales cortos, con objetivos no relacionados con la producción ganadera, pueden también traer consecuencias neutrales o positivas para el ganado.

AB  - We assessed plant interspaces in July 2007 using continuous line intercepts in twice-replicated pastures of northern mixed-grass prairie with contrasting grazing treatments: 1) long-term (25 yr) heavily grazed, dominated by the bunchgrass blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), and 2) ungrazed, dominated by the rhizomatous grass western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii). The number of plant interspaces was 26% higher in pastures heavily grazed, but the amount of soil surface occupied by plant interspaces was 27% greater without grazing. Plant interspaces were larger without grazing (14.8 ± 1.2 cm, mean ± 1 SE) than heavily grazed (8.9 ± 0.4 cm). Plant interspaces represented 87% and 68% of the total soil surface in the ungrazed and heavily grazed communities, respectively. The percentage of soil surface covered by plant interspaces < 20 cm was higher for the heavily grazed (94%) compared to the ungrazed (79%). Litter cover in the plant interspaces was higher without grazing (80 ± 1%) compared to the heavily grazed (57 ± 3%). Grazing-induced structural changes from a rhizomatous- to a bunchgrass-dominated vegetation community were manifest in the size and distribution of plant interspaces. Ecological consequences for erosion from raindrop impacts in larger plant interspaces in the ungrazed community are likely offset by greater litter cover in these communities; conversely, lower litter cover in heavily grazed pastures may increase erosion potential despite occurrence of smaller plant interspaces and less proportion of the soil surface covered by interspaces. Management practices that increase the cover of litter in plant interspaces should reduce the potential of erosion from water and wind in this semiarid rangeland. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Determinamos los espacios entre plantas en Julio del 2007 utilizando la linea de intercepto continuo en potreros con dos repeticiones en un pastizal mediano abierto del noroeste de los Estados Unidos contrastando tratamientos de pastoreo 1): largoplazo (25 años) con un pastoreo intenso, y dominado principalmente por el pasto navajita (Bouteloua gracilis), y 2) sin pastorear dominado principalmente por western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii). El número de espacios entre plantas fue 26% mayor en el pastoreo intenso, pero la cantidad de superficie del suelo ocupada por los espacios entre las plantas fue 27% mayor en áreas sin pastoreo. Los espacios entre las plantas fueron mayores en áreas sin pastoreo (14.8 ± 1.2 cm, media ± 1 es) que en áreas con pastoreo intenso (8.9 ± 0.4 cm). Los espacios entre las plantas representaron 87% y 68% del total de la superficie del suelo en áreas sin pastoreo y en áreas con el pastoreo intenso, respectivamente. El porcentaje de la superficie del suelo cubierto por los espacios entre las plantas < 20 cm fue mayor (94%) para el área pastoreada intensamente que para el área sin pastoreo (79%). La cubierta del mantillo en los espacios entre las plantas fue mayor en el área sin pastoreo (80 ± 1%) comparado con el pastoreo intenso (57 ± 3%). El pastoreo induce cambios estructurales de rizomatoso a una comunidad dominada por especies amacolladas donde se manifiesta el tamaño y la distribución del espacio entre las plantas. Las consecuencias ecológicas debido a la erosión por el impacto de las gotas de lluvia en los espacios más grandes entre las plantas en las comunidades no pastoreadas puede compensarse por una cubierta mayor de mantillo en esas comunidades; por lo contrario una cubierta menor de mantillo como resultado de un pastoreo fuerte, puede incrementar el potencial de la erosión aunque los espacios entre las plantas sean menores y una menor proporción de los espacios entre las plantas se cubra. Prácticas de manejo que incrementen la cubierta de mantillo en los espacios entre las plantas podrían reducir el potencial de la erosión debido a la lluvia o el viento en pastizales de zonas semiáridas.

AB  - Broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae [Pursh] Britton & Rusby) increases and dominates rangelands following disturbances, such as overgrazing, fire, and drought. However, if cattle can be forced to graze broom snakeweed, they may be used as a biological tool to control it. Cattle grazed broom snakeweed in May and August 2004-2007. Narrow grazing lanes were fenced to restrict availability of herbaceous forage to force cattle to graze broom snakeweed. They used 50-85% of broom snakeweed biomass. Mature broom snakeweed plant density declined because of prolonged drought, but the decline was greater in grazed lanes. At the end of the study, density of mature plants in grazed lanes was 0.31 plants · m-2, compared with 0.79 plants · m-2 in ungrazed pastures. Spring precipitation in 2005 was 65% above average, and a new crop of seedlings established following the spring grazing trial. Seedling establishment was greater in the spring-grazed lanes in which the soil had been recently disturbed, compared with the ungrazed transects and summer-grazed lanes. The cattle were not able to use the large volume of new broom snakeweed plants in the spring-grazed pasture. They did reduce the number of seedlings and juvenile plants in the summer-grazed pasture. Intense grazing pressure and heavy use did not adversely affect crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum [L.] Gaertn.) cover, and it was actually higher in the summer grazed lanes than the ungrazed control transects. In moderate stands of broom snakeweed, cattle can be forced to graze broom snakeweed and reduce its density without adversely affecting the associated crested wheatgrass stand.

AB  - La escobilla (Gutierrezia sarothrae [Pursh] Britton & Rusby) normalmente se incrementa y domina en pastizales después de que ha habido un disturbio tales como sobre-pastoreo, fuego o seguía. Sin embargo, si se obliga al ganado a consumir escobilla, este consumo puede utilizarse como una forma de control biológico. El ganado pastoreó escobilla durante mayo y agosto del 2004 al 2007. Se cercaron líneas angostas para restringir la disponibilidad de forraje herbáceo y de esta manera forzar al ganado a consumir escobilla. El ganado utilizó de 50 a 85% de la biomasa de la escobilla. La densidad de plantas maduras de escobilla disminuyó debido a la sequía prolongada, pero la disminución fue mayor en las líneas que se pastorearon. Al finalizar el estudio, la densidad de plantas maduras en las líneas pastoreadas fue de 0.31 plantas · m², comparado con 0.79 plantas · m² en los potreros no pastoreados. La precipitación de primavera del 2005 fue 65 % por arriba del promedio, y un nuevo grupo de plántulas se estableció después del experimento de primavera. El establecimiento de plántulas fue mayor en las líneas pastoreadas en las cuales el suelo se había ocasionado disturbio recientemente comparado con los transectos no pastoreados y las líneas pastoreadas durante el verano. El ganado no pudo utilizar gran volumen de nuevas plantas de escobilla en los potreros pastoreados. El ganado redujo el número de plántulas, así como plantas jóvenes en el potrero pastoreado durante el verano. La intensa presión del pastoreo y la alta utilización no afectó negativamente la cobertura de Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. y de hecho fue mayor en la parcelas pastoreadas en el verano que en el control. En áreas con poblaciones moderadas de escobilla, el ganado se puede forzar a pastorear escobilla y reducir la densidad sin afectar adversamente la población de Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.

AB  - Multispecies allometric models to predict grass biomass may increase field study efficiency by eliminating the need for species-specific data. We used field measurements during two growing seasons to develop single-species and multispecies regression models predicting the current year's aboveground biomass for eight common cespitose grass species. Simple and stepwise regression analyses were based on natural log expressions of biomass, basal diameter, and height, and a dummy variable expression of grazing history. Basal diameter had the strongest relationship with biomass among single-species (adjusted R² = 0.80 to 0.91) and multispecies (adjusted R² = 0.85) models. Regression slopes (b) for diameter among single-species (b = 1.01 to 1.49) and the multispecies (b = 1.25) models suggests that biomass will double when diameter increases ~75%. Height and grazing history added little predictive value when diameter was already in the model. When applied to actual populations, biomass estimates from multispecies models were within 3-29% of estimates from the single-species models. Although the multispecies biomass--size relationship was robust across the cespitose life-form, users should be cautious about applying our equations to different locations, plant sizes, and population size-structures. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Los modelos alométricos de especies múltiples para predecir biomasa en gramíneas pueden incrementar la eficiencia del estudio en campo, eliminando la necesidad de datos propios de cada especie. Se utilizaron medidas en el terreno durante dos estaciones de crecimiento para desarrollar modelos de regresión simple y de especies múltiples para predecir la biomasa aérea del presente año en ocho especies de gramíneas cespitosas. Los análisis de regresión simple y regresión gradual se basaron en expresiones logarítmicas naturales de la biomasa, diámetro basal y altura; y una expresión simulada del pastoreo histórico. El diámetro basal mostró la relación más alta con biomasa entre los modelos simple (R² ajustada = 0.80 - 0.91) y de especies múltiples (R² ajustada = 0.85). La pendiente de la regresión (b) para el diámetro entre los modelos simple (b = 1.01-1.49) y de especies múltiples (b = 1.25) sugieren que la biomasa será el doble cuando el diámetro se incremente aproximadamente 75%. La altura de la planta y la historia del pastoreo no fueron determinantes cuando el diámetro se incluyó en el modelo. Cuando se aplicaron a poblaciones reales, las estimaciones de biomasa de modelos de especies múltiples estuvieron dentro de un 3 y 29% de las estimaciones de los modelos simples. Aunque la relación biomasa-tamaño del modelo de especies múltiples fue alta entre la forma cespitosa, se debe ser cauteloso en la aplicación de estas ecuaciones en las diferentes localidades, tamaños de planta y tamaño de la estructura de la población.

AB  - Interpretation of assessment and monitoring data requires information about how reference conditions and ecological resilience vary in space and time. Reference conditions used as benchmarks are often specified via potential-based land classifications (e.g., ecological sites) that describe the plant communities potentially observed in an area based on soil and climate. State-and-transition models (STMs) coupled to ecological sites specify indicators of ecological resilience and thresholds. Although general concepts surrounding STMs and ecological sites have received increasing attention, strategies to apply and quantify these concepts have not. In this paper, we outline concepts and a practical approach to potential-based land classification and STM development. Quantification emphasizes inventory techniques readily available to natural resource professionals that reveal processes interacting across spatial scales. We recommend a sequence of eight steps for the co-development of ecological sites and STMs, including 1) creation of initial concepts based on literature and workshops; 2) extensive, low-intensity traverses to refine initial concepts and to plan inventory; 3) development of a spatial hierarchy for sampling based on climate, geomorphology, and soils; 4) stratified medium-intensity inventory of plant communities and soils across a broad extent and with large sample sizes; 5) storage of plant and soil data in a single database; 6) model-building and analysis of inventory data to test initial concepts; 7) support and/ or refinement of concepts; and 8) high-intensity characterization and monitoring of states. We offer a simple example of how data assembled via our sequence are used to refine ecological site classes and STMs. The linkage of inventory to expert knowledge and site-based mechanistic experiments and monitoring provides a powerful means for specifying management hypotheses and, ultimately, promoting resilience in grassland, shrubland, savanna, and forest ecosystems.

AB  - La interpretación de la evaluación y el monitoreo de datos, exigen que haya información de cómo las condiciones de referencia y resistencia ecológica varían en espacio y tiempo. Las condiciones de referencia que se usan como puntos de comparación se describen a menudo mediante las clasificaciones de terrenos basándose en su potencial (por ejemplo, sitio ecológico) de comunidades de plantas presentes en un área, en base a suelo y clima. Los Modelos de Estado y Transición (METs) relacionados a sitios ecológicos, son indicadores específicos de los límites de resistencia ecológica. Aunque se ha dado mucha atención a los conceptos generales que rodean los METs y los sitios ecológicos, no ha sido así con las estrategias para aplicar y calificar esos conceptos. En este trabajo, damos una idea general de los conceptos y un enfoque práctico para la clasificación de terrenos en base a su potencial, así como para el desarrollo de METs. La calificación enfatiza técnicas de inventario fácilmente accesibles a los profesionales en recursos naturales presentando un proceso de interacción a través de escalas espaciales. Nosotros recomendamos una secuencia de ocho pasos para el desarrollo de sitios ecológicos y METs, como son: 1) creación de conceptos iniciales basados en literatura y talleres; 2) extensivos viajes de reconocimiento para el refinamiento de los conceptos iniciales y planear el inventario; 3) desarrollo de una escala espacial para muestreo, basándose en clima, forma del terreno, y suelos; 4) estratificación de inventario de media intensidad de las comunidades de plantas y suelos a través de una gran cantidad de muestras de tamaño grande; 5) almacenamiento de datos de plantas y suelos en una sola base de datos; 6) construcción del modelo y análisis de los datos inventariados para evaluar los conceptos iníciales; 7) apoyo y/o refinamiento de conceptos; y 8) intensa caracterización y monitoreo de las situaciones. Ofrecemos, además, un ejemplo sencillo de cómo colectar los datos, mediante el uso de nuestra secuencia para refinar la clase de sitio ecológico y los METs. El enlace del inventario con el conocimiento experto y la mecánica de experimentos y monitoreo basados en el potencial de sitio, proporciona un medio efectivo para especificar hipótesis de manejo y finalmente para promover la recuperación de pastizales, matorrales, sabanas, y ecosistemas forestales.

AB  - Nationally representative survey data provide insight into how the voting public thinks the word hunger should be used in government reports. The median perception of the least severe condition appropriately described as hunger is that people “... sometimes could not afford to eat enough. They did not feel weak or dizzy, but they did have stomach pains.” However, there was not a narrow consensus on the appropriate use of the term hunger, and respondents' viewpoints on this issue were only weakly related to demographic characteristics, income, political preferences, and the extent to which hunger was considered a salient issue. If hunger is measured in a survey or the word hunger is used to describe other measured conditions, such as food insecurity, it is important to communicate clearly the intended meaning of the word.

AB  - Flavobacterium columnare is a Gram-negative pathogen of many species of wild and cultured fish. Isolates from diseased channel catfish belong to either genomovar I or II. Genomovar II isolates were found to be more virulent than genomovar I isolates. The objective of the present study was to determine whether differences exist in the chemotactic response of these genomovars to mucus obtained from the skin, gills and intestines of healthy channel catfish using the capillary chemotaxis assay. Mucus from the skin and gill induced a greater chemotactic response by F. columnare than mucus from the intestine. Sixty percent of mucus from the skin of individual catfish yielded a positive chemotactic response from F. columnare. Finally, skin mucus induced a greater chemotactic response in genomovar II F. columnare than in genomovar I F. columnare isolates. The data indicate that mucus from channel catfish results in a chemotactic response by F. columnare. This positive chemotactic response may be an important first step for F. columnare colonization of channel catfish skin or gills. Although the role that chemotaxis plays in the virulence of F. columnare is not fully defined, the chemotactic response of genomovar ll isolates suggests that chemotaxis is associated with virulence.

AB  - The extent to which production methods alter intestinal microbial communities of livestock is currently unknown. As the intestinal microbiota may affect animal health, nutrition, and food safety, a baseline comparison of the cecal communities of domestic and wild turkeys was performed. Oligonucleotide fingerprinting of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes (OFRG) of 2,990 16S rRNA clones and dot blot quantification of dominant populations were used to identify the dominant bacterial taxa. Seventy-three percent of all the clones belonged to as yet uncultured genera. However, at a higher phylogenetic level, the OFRG library was composed of 54% Bacteroidetes clones (52% of the domestic library clones, 56% of the wild library clones), 30% Firmicutes clones (33% of the domestic library clones, 32% of the wild library clones), 3% Proteobacteria clones (5% domestic, 2% wild), and 3% Deferribacteres clones (4% domestic, 1% wild). Seven percent of the clones were unidentifiable (6% domestic, 9% wild). Bacteroidetes clones included the genera Alistipes, Prevotella, Megamonas, and Bacteroides. Of the Clostridiales clones, groups IV, IX, and XIV including genera Faecalibacterium, Megasphaera, Phascolarctobacterium, and Papillibacter were predominant. Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus bacilli were also identified. β- δ- and γ-proteobacterial genera included Acinetobacter, Sutterella, and Escherichia. Deferribacteres clones showed high similarity to Mucispirillum schaedleri. Statistical comparison of the domestic and wild turkey clone libraries indicated similar levels of community richness and evenness despite the fact that the two libraries shared only 30% of the total clone operational taxonomic units. Together these results indicate that although high level taxonomic community structure is similar, high-density turkey production causes considerable divergence of the genera found in the ceca of commercial birds from those of their wild counterparts.

AB  - Fusarium verticillioides is a very important genus from the aspects of plant disease, cereal production, and food safety. A major concern of this species is its mycotoxins, which are harmful to humans and animals ingesting Fusarium-contaminated food or feed products. The fungus exists as a symptomless intercellular endophyte in both field and sweet maize, but its role during the symptomless state of infection is ambiguous. Most strains produce the fumonisin in large quantities during the preharvest and postharvest periods of maize production, even during the symptomless state. The dual nature of F. verticillioides as both pathogen and a symptomless endophyte indicates a complex relationship with maize. Interactive biotic factors such as plant genetics, along with abiotic factors, may alter the required balanced relationships, resulting in a weakened plant and changing the relationship into a disease, during which mycotoxins are produced. Consequently, the development of appropriate control measures for the virulent state is expected to be difficult. Two biocontrol agents and approaches are also reviewed, along that offering some pre- and postharvest biological control measures designed to reduce maize contamination by F. verticillioides and the fumonisin mycotoxins.

AB  - Chestnut blight fungus ( Endothia parasitica [Murr.] P.J. And. & H.W. And.)) is a classic example of an invasive species, which severely damaged populations of its host, Castanea dentata, and had widespread and long-term impacts on eastern North American forests. Concurrently, forests were further disturbed by lumbering, which was common across the region from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. In 1926, local infestations of chestnut blight were reported in the Coweeta Basin, Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. We used permanent plot inventories of the Basin (first sampled in 1934 and twice afterward in 1969–72 and 1988–93) to describe the distribution of species along a complex environmental gradient. Specifically, we asked: How does vegetation change over approximately 60 years following logging and the demise of C. dentata? Does the association between vegetation and environment determine the pattern of species distributions through time? Which species replaced C. dentata across this complex environmental gradient? We used nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination and multiresponse permutation procedure for the analyses of the inventory periods. In 1934, C. dentata was the most important species in the Coweeta Basin. It was present in 98% of the plots and contributed 22% of the total density and 36% of the total basal area. Diversity increased significantly over time and was attributed to an increase in evenness of species distribution. The canopy dominant, C. dentata, was replaced by more than one species across the environmental gradient. Importance values of Quercus prinus, Acer rubrum, Cornus florida, Tsuga canadensis, and Oxydendrum arboreum increased by 2–5% across the basin following the decline of C. dentata. Tsuga canadensis increased in abundance and distribution, especially near streams across elevations. Liriodendron tulipifera replaced C. dentata in moist coves, which have low terrain shape and high organic matter content. In contrast, Q. prinus and A. rubrum were ubiquitous, much like C. dentata before the chestnut blight becoming dominant or co-dominant species across all environmental conditions.

AB  - Green sturgeon, Acipenser medirostris, and white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus, are frequent inhabitants of coastal estuaries from northern California, USA to British Columbia, Canada. An analysis of stomach contents from 95 green sturgeon and six white sturgeon commercially landed in Willapa Bay, Grays Harbor, and the Columbia River estuary during 2000–2005 revealed that 17–97% had empty stomachs, but those fish with items in their guts fed predominantly on benthic prey items and fish. Burrowing thalassinid shrimp (mostly Neotrypaea californiensis) were important food items for both white and especially for green sturgeon taken in Willapa Bay, Washington during summer 2003, where they represented 51% of the biomass ingested (84.9% IRI). Small pits observed in intertidal areas dominated by these shrimp, are likely made by these sturgeon and we present evidence from exclusion studies and field observation that the predator making the pits can have a significant cumulative negative effect on burrowing shrimp density. These burrowing shrimp present a threat to the aquaculture industry in Washington State due to their ability to de-stabilize the substrate on which shellfish are grown. Despite an active burrowing shrimp control program in these estuaries, it seems unlikely that current burrowing shrimp abundance and availability as food is a limiting factor for threatened green sturgeon stocks. However, these large predators may have performed an important top down control function on shrimp populations in the past when they were more abundant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The controls on the spatial distribution of soil moisture include static and dynamic variables. The superposition of static and dynamic controls can lead to different soil moisture patterns for a given catchment during wetting, draining, and drying periods. These relationships can be further complicated in snow-dominated mountain regions where soil water input by precipitation is largely dictated by the spatial variability of snow accumulation and melt. In this study, we assess controls on spatial and temporal soil moisture variability in a small (0.02 km2), snow-dominated, semi-arid catchment by evaluating spatial correlations between soil moisture and site characteristics through different hydrologic seasons. We assess the relative importance of snow with respect to other catchment properties on the spatial variability of soil moisture and track the temporal persistence of those controls. Spatial distribution of snow, distance from divide, soil texture, and soil depth exerted significant control on the spatial variability of moisture content throughout most of the hydrologic year. These relationships were strongest during the wettest period and degraded during the dry period. As the catchment cycled through wet and dry periods, the relative spatial variability of soil moisture tended to remain unchanged. We suggest that the static properties in complex terrain (slope, aspect, soils) impose first order controls on the spatial variability of snow and consequent soil moisture, and that the interaction of dynamic (timing of water input) and static properties propagate that relative constant spatial variability through the hydrologic year. The results demonstrate snow exerts significant influence on how water is retained within mid-elevation semi-arid catchments throughout the year and infer that reductions in annual snowpacks associated with changing climate regimes may strongly influence spatial and temporal soil moisture patterns and catchment physical 25 and biological processes.

AB  - We studied nitrogen (N) cycling pools and processes across vegetation and elevation gradients in the southern Appalachian Mountains in SE USA. Measurements included bulk deposition input, watershed export, throughfall fluxes, litterfall, soil N pools and processes, and soil solution N. N deposition increased with elevation and ranged from 9.5 to 12.4 kg ha-1 yr-1. In all sites canopies retained inorganic N and lost organic N; net canopy retention varied among vegetation types. The high elevation site had the greatest litterfall N, soil N transformations, soil solution N, and greater stream N exports (0.60 kg ha-1 yr-1). Low elevation sites had lower litterfall N, soil N transformations, and soil solution N. Low stream N exports (0.14 kg ha-1 yr-1) suggested N limitation. Multivariate analyses showed that abiotic variables account for up to 63% of the variation in biotic site characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Four different low molecular weight (LMW) RNA profiles, designated I–IV, among 179 isolates from Medicago, Melilotus and Trigonella species growing in a field site in Northern Spain were identified. From sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA, atpD and recA genes as well as DNA–DNA hybridization analysis with representatives of each LMW RNA profile it was evident that isolates with LMW RNA profiles I and II belonged to Sinorhizobium meliloti and those displaying profiles III and IV to Sinorhizobium medicae. Therefore, two distinct LMW RNA electrophoretic mobility profiles were found within each of these two species. Collectively, LMW RNA profiles I and II (identified as S. meliloti) were predominant in Melilotus alba, Melilotus officinalis and Medicago sativa. Profiles III and IV (identified as S. medicae) were predominant in Melilotus parviflora, Medicago sphaerocarpa, Medicago lupulina and Trigonella foenum-graecum. All the four LMW RNA profiles were identified among isolates from Trigonella monspelliaca nodules. These results revealed a different specificity by the hosts of the alfalfa cross-inoculation group towards the two bacterial species found in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ingestion of small amounts of condensed tannin (CT) by ruminants can prevent bloat, improve nitrogen retention, and reduce excretion of urea, a precursor of ammonia and the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Because grasses and many forbs don't contain CT, it is desirable to find a reliable way to have ruminant livestock ingest small amounts of CT when they consume high-quality forage. Putting CT in their drinking water may be a reliable approach, but only if all animals drink enough to meet their requirements for water. Therefore, objectives of this study were to determine the amount of variation in intake of water containing different amounts of CT when this was the only water available, and if cattle and sheep would drink water with CT in it if offered tap water simultaneously. Animals were penned or pastured individually, fed twice daily (first cattle and sheep trial) or grazed (second cattle trial) and had ad libitum access to tannin water, tap water, or both. Liquid intake was measured daily. Steers drank tannin solutions (mean daily intake 49.7-58.3 kg), but variation in intake among steers was higher than for tap water (SD were 44%-58% greater for the two most concentrated tannin solutions). At the highest concentration of tannin, steers ingested 2.3% of their daily feed intake in CT. During most of the preference trial, steers preferred water over tannin water when offered both simultaneously (P ≤ 0.002), but drank some tannin water each day. Sheep drank tannin solutions, but individual variation in tannin solution intakes were greater than for tap water. Placing CT in water of cattle and sheep may be a useful way to put small amounts of CT in them. However, they will likely drink less tannin water if normal water is available.

AB  - La ingestión de pequeñas cantidades de taninos condensados (TC) por rumiantes puede prevenir el timpanismo, mejorar la retención de nitrógeno y reducir la excreción de urea, precursor del amoniaco y del gas de invernadero, oxido nitroso. Como muchas hierbas y pastos no contienen TC, es conveniente encontrar una forma de hacer que el rumiante ingiera pequeñas cantidades de TC cuando consuma forrajes de alta calidad. Una forma confiable podría ser agregar los TC en el agua consumida, siempre y cuando todos los animales beban lo suficiente para llenar sus requerimientos de agua. Por lo tanto, los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la variación en el consumo de agua con diferentes cantidades de TC siendo la única agua disponible. Asimismo, se evaluó si el ganado y los ovinos beberían el agua con TC si esta era ofrecida simultáneamente con agua normal. Los animales fueron encorralados o pastoreados individualmente; alimentados dos veces al día (primer ensayo del ganado y ovinos), o en pastoreo (segundo ensayo del ganado) con libre acceso al agua con taninos y/o al agua normal. El consumo de agua fue medido diariamente. Los novillos bebieron las soluciones con taninos (consumo medio diario de 49.758.3 kg) pero tuvieron una mayor variación en el consumo entre animales que con el agua normal (la desviación estándar fue 44%-58% superior para las dos soluciones con mayor concentración de taninos). En la concentración más alta de taninos, los novillos ingirieron 2.3% de su consumo diario de alimento en TC. Durante la mayoría de los ensayos, los novillos prefirieron el agua normal sobre el agua con taninos cuando estas fueron ofrecidas simultáneamente (P ≤ 0.002), no obstante, bebieron algo de agua con taninos diariamente. Las ovejas bebieron las soluciones con taninos, pero las variaciones individuales en el consumo de soluciones con taninos fueron mayores que en el agua normal. El agregarle TC al agua del ganado y ovejas puede ser una buena forma de proporcionarles pequeñas cantidades de TC, sin embargo los animales probablemente beberán menos agua con taninos si tienen acceso al agua normal.

AB  - Vigilant behavior in wild ungulates is critical to guard against predation. However, few studies have examined vigilant behavior in domesticated ungulates. Considering the expansion of large predator populations, understanding vigilant behavior and factors that influence it will help with the management of livestock.We observed adult female cattle (Bos taurus L.) in open-range conditions where large predators (wolves [Canis lupus L.] and mountain lions [Puma concolor (L.).]) were common threats during summers of 2005 and 2006 in eastern Arizona. This study was designed to determine 1) to what extent cattle exhibit vigilant behavior compared to published data on wild ungulates, 2) whether predation events influence vigilance rates of cattle, and 3) whether social and environmental factors affect vigilance of cattle. Cattle exhibited vigilant behavior (3% ±0.19%) during peak foraging periods, but at a lower rate than wild ungulates. Cows with calves were more than twice as vigilant (4.5% ± 0.46%) as those without calves (2.0% ± 0.27%). Single cattle and groups of two to five exhibited higher vigilance rates (4.2% ± 0.79%) than groups of six to 20 (2.5% ± 0.32%) and groups of > 20 (3.0% ± 0.41%). Cattle in groups of > 20 increased vigilance as visual obstruction increased. Mother cows whose calves were preyed upon (n=5) exhibited a3%to 48% increase in vigilancewithin 3 d after their calveswere killed; this rate returned to near baseline levels after 10 d. Conversely, mother cows reduced foraging after their calves were killed from 88.5% ± 1.69% to 43.5% ± 11.4%; foraging rate also returned to near baseline levels after 10 d. Cattle exhibit vigilance at lower levels compared to wild ungulates, but this behavior appears to be at least partially an antipredatory behavior. Our findings provide support that predators can influence cattle behavior. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El comportamiento de vigilancia en ungulados silvestres es crítico para protegerse contra los depredadores. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han analizado el comportamiento de vigilancia en ungulados domésticos. Considerando el incremento de la población de grandes depredadores, comprender el comportamiento de vigilancia y los factores que influyen en él, ayudará en un mejor del manejo del ganado. Nosotros observamos vacas adultas (Bos taurus L.) en libre pastoreo, donde grandes depredadores (Lobos [Canis lupus L.] y leones de montaña [Puma concolor (L.).]) fueron amenazas comunes durante el verano de 2005 y 2006 al oriente de Arizona. Este estudio fue diseñado para determinar 1) El numero de animales en el hato que exhibe comportamiento de vigilancia, comparando con datos publicados sobre ungulados salvajes, 2) si los eventos de predación influencian en la tasa de vigilancia del ganado, y 3) si factores sociales y medioambientales afectan la vigilancia del ganado. El ganado exhibió comportamiento vigilante (3% ± 0.19%) durante periodos pico de pastoreo, pero en una proporción menor que los ungulados salvajes. Vacas con becerro estuvieron alertas mas del doble (4.5% ± 0.46%) que vacas sin becerro (2.0% ± 0.27%). El ganado solitario y en grupos de dos a cinco exhibieron mayores tasas de vigilancia (4.2% ± 0.79%) que grupos de ganado de seis a 20 animales (2.5% ± 0.32%) y grupos de mas de 20 (3.0% ± 0.41%). El Ganado en grupos > 20 incrementó la vigilancia conforme se incrementó la obstrucción visual. Vacas madres de becerros que fueron víctimas de depredación (n = 5) tuvieron un incremento de 3% a 48% en tiempo de vigilancia dentro de los 3 días después de que sus becerros fueron sacrificados; esta tasa de vigilancia regresó a los niveles normales después de 10 días. En contraste, las vacas madres redujeron su pastoreo después de que sus crías fueron sacrificadas 88.5% ± 1.69% a 43.5% ± 11.4%; los patrones de pastoreo también regresaron a los niveles normales después de 10 días. El ganado exhibe una vigilancia menor, comparado con ungulados silvestres, pero este comportamiento parece ser parcialmente contra la predación. Nuestros resultados apoyan la idea de que los predadores pueden influenciar el comportamiento del ganado. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Soil depth effects on honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr) cover and density and perennial grass standing crop were evaluated over an 11-yr period (1995-2005) on two lightly stocked and two conservatively stocked pastures on the Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center in south-central New Mexico. These four adjoining pastures have similar size, vegetation, and soils. Soils in these study pastures are primarily light sandy loams varying from a few centimeters to 1 m or more in depth underlain by a calcium carbonate layer. Deep soils had lower perennial grass standing crop and higher honey mesquite cover and density than did shallow soils at both the beginning (1995-1997) and ending (2003-2005) periods of study. Average perennial grass standing crop across the four study pastures dropped 82% between 1995-1997 and 2003-2005 because of drought during the last 5 yr of study. Honey mesquite canopy cover and perennial grass standing crop did not differ between light and conservative grazing treatments at the beginning or end of our study. Honey mesquite canopy cover did not change from 1995-1997 to 2003-2005 but honey mesquite density was higher in 2003-2005 than in 1995-1997. Our study shows that both soil depth and climatic fluctuations have a major influence on vegetation dynamics in desert and semiarid areas. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Los efectos de la profundidad del suelo en la cobertura y densidad de mezquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr) se evaluaron por un período de 11 años (1995-2005), lo mismo que la productividad de gramíneas perennes. Se utilizaron dos potreros con carga ligera y dos potreros con carga conservadora en el Centro de Investigaciones de pastizales del desierto Chihuahuense, localizado en la parte sur-centro de Nuevo México. Los 4 potreros colindaban y tenían el mismo tamaño, y vegetación y suelos similares. La composición de los suelos en los potreros era areno-arcillosa ligera con mezclas de caliche, con una variación en la profundidad de pocos centímetros a un metro. En los suelos más profundos se encontró una producción menor de gramíneas perennes y una mayor cobertura y densidad de mesquite que en los suelos someros, tanto al inicio (1995-1997) y al finalizar el período de estudio (2003-2005). El promedio de la producción de gramíneas perennes, de los cuatro potreros disminuyó un 83% entre 1995-1997 y 2003-2005 debido a la sequía durante los últimos 5 años del estudio. No hubo diferencia ni entre la cobertura aérea del mezquite ni tampoco en la producción de las gramíneas perennes entre los tratamientos de la carga ligera y moderada al inicio o al final del estudio. No se produjo ningún cambio en la cobertura aérea del mezquite de 1995-1997 a 2003-2005 pero su densidad fue mayor en 2003-2005 comparada con la que se detectó en 1995-1997. Nuestro estudio presenta que tanto la profundidad del suelo como las fluctuaciones climáticas tienen un influencia mayor en la dinámica de la vegetación en áreas desérticas y semi-desérticas.

AB  - As an alternative to ground-cover data collection by conventional and expensive sampling techniques, we compared measurements obtained from very large scale aerial (VLSA) imagery for calibrating moderate resolution Landsat data. Using a grid-based sampling scheme, 162 VLSA images were acquired at 100 m above ground level. The percent vegetation cover in each photo was derived using SamplePoint (a manual inventory method) and Veg- Measure (a reflectance based, automated method). Approximately two-thirds of the VLSA images were used for calibrating Landsat data while the remainder was used for validation. Regression models with Landsat bands accounted for 55% of the VegMeasure- based measurements of vegetation, whereas models that included both Landsat bands and elevation data accounted for 67%. The relationship between the Landsat bands and the percent vegetation cover measured by SamplePoint was lower (R2 = 20%), highlighting the differences between the inventory and reflectance based protocols. Results from the model validation indicated that the model's predictive power was lower when the vegetation cover was either<20% or>55%. Additional work is needed in these ecosystems to improve the calibration techniques for sites with low and high vegetation cover; however, these results demonstrate the VLSA imagery could be used for calibrating Landsat data and deriving rangeland vegetation cover. By adopting such methodologies the US Federal land management agencies can increase the efficiency of the monitoring programs in Wyoming and in other western states of the US. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alternative definitions for growth and removals from a forest being monitored over time are discussed. It is shown that the definitions that are used in practice may not be what one would expect and estimates can vary substantially under alternative definitions. This can result in conclusions about forest sustainability that may be misleading. Alternative definitions are applied to selected states using US Department of Agriculture Forest Service inventory data. Standard errors of growth over removals ratios are used to indicate potential sustainability problems for selected forest types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Stripe rust [caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. ( Pst)] is a destructive disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Genetic resistance is the preferred method for control and the Yr5 gene, originally identified in Triticum spelta var. album, represents a major resistance ( R) gene that confers all-stage resistance to all currently known races of Pst in the United States. To identify transcripts associated with the Yr5-mediated incompatible interaction and the yr5-compatible interaction, the Wheat GeneChip was used to profile the changes occurring in wheat isolines that differed for the presence of the Yr5 gene after inoculation with Pst. This time-course study (6, 12, 24 and 48 h post-inoculation) identified 115 transcripts that were induced during the R-gene-mediated incompatible interaction, and 73 induced during the compatible interaction. Fifty-four transcripts were induced in both interactions and were considered as basal defence transcripts, whilst 61 transcripts were specific to the incompatible interaction [hypersensitive response (HR)-specific transcripts] and 19 were specific to the compatible interaction (biotrophic interaction-specific transcripts). The temporal pattern of transcript accumulation showed a peak at 24 h after infection that may reflect haustorial penetration by Pst at ~16 h. An additional 12 constitutive transcript differences were attributed to the presence of Yr5 after eliminating those considered as incomplete isogenicity. Annotation of the induced transcripts revealed that the presence of Yr5 resulted in a rapid and amplified resistance response involving signalling pathways and defence-related transcripts known to occur during R-gene-mediated responses, including protein kinase signalling and the production of reactive oxygen species leading to a hypersensitive response. Basal defence also involved substantial induction of many defence-related transcripts but the lack of R-gene signalling resulted in weaker response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vegetation growth models are used with remotely sensed and meteorological data to monitor terrestrial carbon dynamics at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Many of these models are based on a light-use efficiency equation and two-component model of whole-plant growth and maintenance respiration that have been parameterized for distinct vegetation types and biomes. This study was designed to assess the robustness of these parameters for predicting interannual plant growth and carbon exchange, and more specifically to address inconsistencies that may arise during forest disturbances and the loss of canopy foliage. A model based on the MODIS MOD17 algorithm was parameterized for a mature upland hardwood forest by inverting CO2 flux tower observations during years when the canopy was not disturbed. This model was used to make predictions during a year when the canopy was 37% defoliated by forest tent caterpillars. Predictions improved after algorithms were modified to scale for the effects of diffuse radiation and loss of leaf area. Photosynthesis and respiration model parameters were found to be robust at daily and annual time scales regardless of canopy disturbance, and differences between modeled net ecosystem production and tower net ecosystem exchange were only approximately 2 g C m−2 d−1 and less than 23 g C m−2 y−1. Canopy disturbance events such as insect defoliations are common in temperate forests of North America, and failure to account for cyclical outbreaks of forest tent caterpillars in this stand could add an uncertainty of approximately 4–13% in long-term predictions of carbon sequestration.

AB  - Abstract: The emergence of wildlife reservoirs of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle as well as increased inter-regional trade with associated spread of M. bovis has led to renewed interest in the use of vaccines for the control of bovine tuberculosis (TB). Field efficacy trials performed in the early 20th century demonstrated the partial effectiveness of bacilli Calmette–Guerin (BCG) for the control of bovine TB. Recent experimental trials with cattle have demonstrated that: (1) subunit vaccines may boost immunity elicited by BCG in cattle, (2) T cell central memory immune responses evoked by protective vaccines correlate with protection upon subsequent M. bovis challenge, (3) BCG is particularly protective when administered to neonates, and (4) differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) is feasible in cattle using in vitro or in vivo methods. In regards to wildlife reservoirs, the efficacy of BCG delivered orally has been demonstrated for brushtail possums (in field trials) as well as Eurasian badgers, wild boar, and white-tailed deer (each in experimental challenge studies). Vaccine delivery to wildlife reservoirs will primarily be oral, although a parenteral route is being deployed for badgers in England. Vaccine efficacy trials, both experimental challenge and field studies, with cattle and their wildlife reservoirs represent a primary example of the one health approach, with outcomes relevant for both veterinary and medical applications.

AB  - Fungal plant pathogens secrete effector molecules to establish disease on their hosts, and plants in turn use immune receptors to try to intercept these effectors. The tomato immune receptor Ve1 governs resistance to race 1 strains of the soil-borne vascular wilt fungi Verticillium dahliae and Verticillium albo-atrum, but the corresponding Verticillium effector remained unknown thus far. By high-throughput population genome sequencing, a single 50-Kb sequence stretch was identified that only occurs in race 1 strains, and subsequent transcriptome sequencing of Verticillium-infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants revealed only a single highly expressed ORF in this region, designated Ave1 (for Avirulence on Ve1 tomato). Functional analyses confirmed that Ave1 activates Ve1-mediated resistance and demonstrated that Ave1 markedly contributes to fungal virulence, not only on tomato but also on Arabidopsis. Interestingly, Ave1 is homologous to a widespread family of plant natriuretic peptides. Besides plants, homologous proteins were only found in the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis and the plant pathogenic fungi Colletotrichum higginsianum, Cercospora beticola, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. The distribution of Ave1 homologs, coincident with the presence of Ave1 within a flexible genomic region, strongly suggests that Verticillium acquired Ave1 from plants through horizontal gene transfer. Remarkably, by transient expression we show that also the Ave1 homologs from F. oxysporum and C. beticola can activate Ve1-mediated resistance. In line with this observation, Ve1 was found to mediate resistance toward F. oxysporum in tomato, showing that this immune receptor is involved in resistance against multiple fungal pathogens.

AB  - Abstract: Structured lipid (SL) was synthesized from pine nut oil (PNO) and palm stearin (PS). In SL, 8.81% of Δ5-unsaturated polymethylene interrupted fatty acids (Δ5-UPIFAs) were intentionally incorporated into the sn-2 position through acyl migration. The obtained SL contained mostly the β′ form and a wide plastic range with solid fat index of 26.5% at 10°C to 2.29% at 35°C, indicating that the obtained SL (containing zero-trans fatty acid) may be desirable for soft (tub) margarine fat. Subsequently, the antioxidative effects of α-tocopherol (α-TOH), ascorbyl palmitate (AP), quercetin (Qu), and combinations thereof on SL were investigated. Results showed that Qu (500μg/g) showed the most effective antioxidant activity, followed by AP (500μg/g); while α-TOH with any concentrations (100, 200 and 500μg/g) did not show significant protective activity in the obtained SL. Each mixture of AP+Qu and α-TOH+AP+Qu also showed effective antioxidant activity in the obtained SL. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This study deals with the temperature and composition dependence of magnetization and magnetic anisotropy of Cu2+–Cr3+ co-substituted magnesium ferrite, Mg1−x Cu x Cr x Fe2−x O4 (x=0.0–0.5). The synthesized materials are characterized using thermo gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence, Mössbauer spectrometer, superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer and vibrating sample magnetometer. The M–H loops measured up to 50kOe at 300, 200 and 100K, revealed narrow hysteresis curves with a coercive field and saturation magnetization varying for different compositions. The high field regimes of these loops are modeled using the Law of Approach to saturation to extract anisotropy information and saturation magnetization. Both the saturation magnetization and the anisotropy constant are observed to increase with the decrease in temperature while decrease with the Cu–Cr co-substituents for all the samples. Explanation of the observed behavior is proposed in terms of the preference of the co-substituent ions of Cu2+ and Cr3+ and their predominant choice to substitute into the octahedral sites of the cubic spinel lattice.

AB  - We postulated that a synergistic combination of two innate immune functions, pathogen surface recognition and lysis, in a protein chimera would lead to a robust class of engineered antimicrobial therapeutics for protection against pathogens. In support of our hypothesis, we have engineered such a chimera to protect against the Gram-negative XyIeIIa fastidiosa (Xf), which causes diseases in multiple plants of economic importance. Here we report the design and delivery of this chimera to target the Xf subspecies fastidiosa (Xff), which causes Pierce disease in grapevines and poses a great threat to the wine-growing regions of California. One domain of this chimera is an elastase that recognizes and cleaves MopB. a conserved outer membrane protein of Xff. The second domain is a lytic peptide. cecropin B, which targets conserved lipid moieties and creates pores in the Xff outer membrane. A flexible linker joins the recognition and lysis domains, thereby ensuring correct folding of the individual domains and synergistic combination of their functions. The chimera transgene is fused with an amino-terminal signal sequence to facilitate delivery of the chimera to the plant xylem, the site of Xff colonization. We demonstrate that the protein chimera expressed in the xylem is able to directly target Xff, suppress its growth, and significantly decrease the leaf scorching and xylem clogging commonly associated with Pierce disease in grapevines. We believe that similar strategies involving protein chimeras can be developed to protect against many diseases caused by human and plant pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Glucuronoxylans with a backbone of 1,4-linked β-d-xylosyl residues are ubiquitous in the secondary walls of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Xylans have been reported to be present in hornwort cell walls, but their structures have not been determined. In contrast, the presence of xylans in the cell walls of mosses and liverworts remains a subject of debate. Here we present data that unequivocally establishes that the cell walls of leafy tissue and axillary hair cells of the moss Physcomitrella patens contain a glucuronoxylan that is structurally similar to glucuronoxylans in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants. Some of the 1,4-linked β-d-xylopyranosyl residues in the backbone of this glucuronoxylan bear an α-d-glucosyluronic acid (GlcpA) sidechain at O-2. In contrast, the lycopodiophyte Selaginella kraussiana synthesizes a glucuronoxylan substituted with 4-O-Me-α-d-GlcpA sidechains, as do many hardwood species. The monilophyte Equisetum hyemale produces a glucuronoxylan with both 4-O-Me-α-d-GlcpA and α-d-GlcpA sidechains, as does Arabidopsis. The seedless plant glucuronoxylans contain no discernible amounts of the reducing-end sequence that is characteristic of gymnosperm and eudicot xylans. Phylogenetic studies showed that the P. patens genome contains genes with high sequence similarity to Arabidopsis CAZy family GT8, GT43 and GT47 glycosyltransferases that are likely involved in xylan synthesis. We conclude that mosses synthesize glucuronoxylan that is structurally similar to the glucuronoxylans present in the secondary cell walls of lycopodiophytes, monilophytes, and many seed-bearing plants, and that several of the glycosyltransferases required for glucuronoxylan synthesis evolved before the evolution of tracheophytes.

AB  - Abstract: Food composition databases are critical to assess and plan dietary intakes. Dietary supplement databases are also needed because dietary supplements make significant contributions to total nutrient intakes. However, no uniform system exists for classifying dietary supplement products and indexing their ingredients in such databases. Differing approaches to classifying these products make it difficult to retrieve or link information effectively. A consistent approach to classifying information within food composition databases led to the development of LanguaL™, a structured vocabulary. LanguaL™ is being adapted as an interface tool for classifying and retrieving product information in dietary supplement databases. This paper outlines proposed changes to the LanguaL™ thesaurus for indexing dietary supplement products and ingredients in databases. The choice of 12 of the original 14 LanguaL™ facets pertinent to dietary supplements, modifications to their scopes, and applications are described. The 12 chosen facets are: product type; product source; part of source; physical state, shape or form; ingredients; preservation method; packing medium; container or wrapping; contact surface; label claims/consumer group/dietary use; geographic places and regions; and adjunct characteristics of dietary supplements.

AB  - Accurate measurement of sweat mineral loss is important for whole body mineral balance estimates and dietary reference intake formulation. Currently, common localized sweat collection methods such as the pouch and patch techniques may be limited by skin encapsulation and/or hidromeiosis, which may alter sweat mineral concentrations. The design of the newly developed Megaduct sweat collector may avoid these possible limitations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of theMegaduct sweat collector for mineral analysis. Megaduct sweat collectors were affixed to ten volunteers on the final day of a heat acclimation protocol; collection time, sweat volume, and mineral concentrations of calcium, copper, iron, potassium, sodium, and zinc were measured. Megaduct filling required a collection period of 62 ± 3 min due to a small collection surface (22.1 cm2). The mineral content of the sweat was 0.3 ± 0.1 mmol L-1, 1.5 ± 1.5 µmol L-1, 8.5 ± 2.1 mmol L-1, 43.2 ± 15.0 mmol L-1, and 10.1 ± 5.7 µmol L-1 for Ca, Cu, K, Na, and Zn, respectively. TheMegaduct sweat collector appears to avoid skin encapsulation and hidromeiosis, and captures sweat with similar mineral concentrations as reported in the literature for pouches. However, the filling time of the Megaduct (>60 min) may not capture possible changes in sweat mineral concentrations that are documented to occur in as little as 15 to 30 min. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The dynamic cropping systems concept proposes a long-term strategy of crop sequencing to achieve production, economic and soil care goals through sound ecological management. This requires that agriculturalists have comprehensive information about how crop species affect following years’ crops. Little research exists about how differences in soil type and properties change crop sequence effects. Sandy loam, alluvial-derived soil in south central North Dakota, USA (400mm/yr precipitation) was the site of a crop sequence experiment in which four species – maize (Zea mays L.), dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) – were grown in strips one year and in perpendicular strips the following, with spring wheat planted a third year. No-till management was used with three replications in land and two in time. Results were compared with those from two 10×10 sequence experiments on silt loam, glacial till-derived soil. Soil water depletion (SWD) and root growth were deeper in sandy loam soil than in silt loam. During a year of above average precipitation, prior year soybean enhanced spring wheat yield on sandy loam soil by 14% above average, but prior year spring wheat reduced it by 14%. During a year of deficient precipitation, prior crop effects on spring wheat yield ranked in order of expected springtime soil water storage: dry pea, 11%; spring wheat, 4%; soybean, −5%; maize, −10%. Prior crops’ SWD largely determined spring soil water, with maize having greatest depletion. Excluding results from a year of low precipitation, prior crops’ effects on spring wheat yield on sandy loam soil were similar to results found at two sequence experiments on silt loam soil: dry pea – generally positive effect (N-production, water conservation); spring wheat – negative (disease); soybean – positive (N-production); maize – generally negative (heavier water use). Same year comparison of three crops (nine sequences) on sandy loam soil vs. silt loam showed average dry pea and spring wheat yields being equivalent (P <0.10). However, average maize yield was 37% lower on silt loam, with maize-after-maize yielding 54% less. The site with sandy loam land had topsoil with lower soil quality indicators (organic C, water holding capacity) than silt loam. However, no-till management and previous grass rendered productivity of the soils equivalent, and superior capacity of the sandy loam site subsoil to conduct water and be conducive to root growth lessened negative, water-generated crop sequence effects.

AB  - Background:  To investigate the effect of a new soluble fiber, namely cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose (cHEC), on weight loss and metabolic disorders associated with obesity using a high-fat diet-induced obese mouse model. Methods:  Obese male C57BL/6J (B6) mice were fed high-fat (60% kcal) diets supplemented with cHEC for 5 weeks. Body weight, energy intake, mesenteric adipose and liver weights, plasma cholesterol, plasma insulin, glucose, adiponectin, and leptin were assessed to determine the effects of cHEC. Hepatic and fecal lipids were also analyzed to investigate the effect of cHEC on lipid absorption and metabolism. Results:  Supplementation of the high-fat diet with cHEC resulted in significant weight loss in obese mice. In addition, significant decreases were seen in mesenteric adipose and liver weights, as well as concentrations of plasma cholesterol and hepatic lipids. A significant improvement in glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and leptin concentrations were observed at 4% cHEC. Moreover, increases in fecal excretion of total bile acids, sterols, and fats indicated altered fat absorption when cHEC was supplemented in the diet. Conclusions:  We have shown in the present study that cHEC reduces body weight, improves insulin sensitivity, and prevents the development of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the effects of cHEC on glucose and lipid homeostasis in B6 mice are mediated by improvements in leptin sensitivity resulting from reduced fat absorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Wallemia (Wallemiales, Wallemiomycetes) is a genus of xerophilic Fungi of uncertain phylogenetic position within Basidiomycota. Most commonly found as food contaminants, species of Wallemia have also been isolated from hypersaline environments. The ability to tolerate environments with reduced water activity is rare in Basidiomycota. We sequenced the genome of W. sebi in order to understand its adaptations for surviving in osmotically challenging environments, and we performed phylogenomic and ultrastructural analyses to address its systematic placement and reproductive biology. W. sebi has a compact genome (9.8Mb), with few repeats and the largest fraction of genes with functional domains compared with other Basidiomycota. We applied several approaches to searching for osmotic stress-related proteins. In silico analyses identified 93 putative osmotic stress proteins; homology searches showed the HOG (High Osmolarity Glycerol) pathway to be mostly conserved. Despite the seemingly reduced genome, several gene family expansions and a high number of transporters (549) were found that also provide clues to the ability of W. sebi to colonize harsh environments. Phylogenetic analyses of a 71-protein dataset support the position of Wallemia as the earliest diverging lineage of Agaricomycotina, which is confirmed by septal pore ultrastructure that shows the septal pore apparatus as a variant of the Tremella-type. Mating type gene homologs were identified although we found no evidence of meiosis during conidiogenesis, suggesting there may be aspects of the life cycle of W. sebi that remain cryptic.

AB  - Excessive use of nitrogen (N) in crop production has impacted ecosystems by contaminating soil and water. Management of N in agriculture is therefore of global concern. Sustainable agriculture systems that use leguminous cover crops such as hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) to fix N and enrich soil organic matter by fixing carbon provide an alternative strategy. N signalling pathways were found associated with delayed leaf senescence and disease tolerance of hairy vetch-grown tomatoes. To test whether N in hairy vetch is the only contributing factor leading to these phenotypes, we designed a pot experiment in the field to analyse growth and gene expression in tomatoes, one set with soil overwintered without a cover crop (bare soil) and the other with soil overwintered with a hairy vetch cover crop including the vetch residue on the soil surface. Additionally, supplementary N fertiliser was also provided to aid distinguishing tomato responses to vetch from those to inorganic N. Tomato fruit yield, plant biomass and photosynthesis were higher in plants grown in vetch than bare soil. Tomato growth and photosynthesis metrics exhibited a parabolic response to inorganic N in bare soil, suggesting the potential for N toxicity in pots with the highest N rate. Vetch-grown tomato plants mitigated these effects and maintained elevated photosynthetic rates at high inorganic N levels. Vetch-grown plants also mitigated a decline in expression of several genes regulating nitrogen and carbon metabolism and upregulated the defence-related gene, osmotin, relative to plants grown in bare soil. Thus, some of the positive responses of tomatoes to a hairy vetch cover crop observed in the field seem mediated by physiological cues other than the additional N provided by the vetch cover crop.

AB  - Construction and improvement of a genetic map for peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) continues to be an important task in order to facilitate quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and the development of tools for marker-assisted breeding. The objective of this study was to develop a comparative integrated map from two cultivated × cultivated recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping populations and to apply in mapping Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) resistance trait in peanut. A total of 4,576 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from three sources: published SSR markers, newly developed SSR markers from expressed sequence tags (EST) and from bacterial artificial chromosome end-sequences were used for screening polymorphisms. Two cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence markers were also included to differentiate ahFAD2A alleles and ahFAD2B alleles. A total of 324 markers were anchored on this integrated map covering 1,352.1 cM with 21 linkage groups (LGs). Combining information from duplicated loci between LGs and comparing with published diploid maps, seven homoeologous groups were defined and 17 LGs (A1-A10, B1-B4, B7, B8, and B9) were aligned to corresponding A-subgenome or B-subgenome of diploid progenitors. One reciprocal translocation was confirmed in the tetraploid-cultivated peanut genome. Several chromosomal rearrangements were observed by comparing with published cultivated peanut maps. High consistence with cultivated peanut maps derived from different populations may support this integrated map as a reliable reference map for peanut whole genome sequencing assembling.

AB  - Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis Lehmann and Neumann, 1896. Although it is essentially a disease of rodents, plague can also be transmitted to people. Historically, plague has caused massive morbidity and mortality events in human populations, and has recently been classified as a reemerging disease in many parts of the world. This public health threat has led many countries to set up wild and domestic animal surveillance programs in an attempt to monitor plague activity that could potentially spill over into human populations. Both China and the USA have plague surveillance programs in place, but the disease dynamics differ in each country. We present data on plague seroprevalence in wildlife and review different approaches for plague surveillance in the 2 countries. The need to better comprehend plague dynamics, combined with the fact that there are still several thousand human plague cases per year, make well-designed wildlife surveillance programs a critical part of both understanding plague risks to humans and preventing disease outbreaks in the future.

AB  - Abstract: Recombinant replication-defective human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vaccines containing capsid-coding regions from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) have been demonstrated to induce effective immune responses and provide homologous protective immunity against FMDV in cattle. However, basic mechanisms of Ad5-FMDV vaccine function including virus tropism, transgene expression, and antigen presentation, remain incompletely understood. The current study characterized the dynamics of Ad5 viral vector (Ad5-FMDV-A24 and Ad5-luciferase) infection in cell lines and early post-inoculation vector–host interactions in cattle. Adenovirus dissemination was described utilizing novel rPCR, rRT-PCR, luminometry, and immunomicroscopy techniques. In vitro infection of human and bovine cells with both Ad5 vectors resulted in dose-dependent detection of vector DNA, mature mRNA transcripts, and transgene-encoded proteins. Subsequent to intramuscular inoculation of cattle, Ad5 and transgene products were detected at the injection sites of all animals at all time-points examined (6, 24, and 48hpi). Microscopically, injection sites were characterized by marked infiltrates of interstitium consisting of predominantly large mononuclear cells. Immunomicroscopy indicated these cells infrequently contained adenovirus and/or transgenic proteins and were phenotypically consistent with antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells). Vector DNA and mature mRNA transcripts were first detected at the draining and local lymph nodes as early as 6hpi and systemically at 24hpi. These results provide novel insights for understanding Ad5-mediated immunity against FMDV using novel techniques that will contribute to ongoing efforts for the improvement of future Ad-FMDV vaccine platforms.

AB  - Abstract: A solid solution of IrO2, SnO2 and NbO2, denoted as (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2, of compositions (Ir1−2x Sn x Nb x )O2 with x = 0, 0.125, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.425 and 0.50 has been synthesized by thermal decomposition of a homogeneous mixture of IrCl4, SnCl2·2H2O and NbCl5 ethanol solution coated on pretreated Ti foil. The (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 thin film of different compositions coated on Ti foil has been studied as a promising oxygen reduction anode electrocatalyst for PEM based water electrolysis. It has been identified that (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 of composition up to x = 0.30 [(Ir0.40Sn0.30Nb0.30)O2] shows similar electrochemical activity compared to pure IrO2 (x = 0) resulting in ∼60 mol.% reduction in noble metal content. On the other hand, (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 of composition x = 0.20 [(Ir0.20Sn0.40Nb0.40)O2] shows only 20% lower activity compared to pure IrO2 though the noble metal oxide, IrO2 loading is reduced by 80 mol.%. The accelerated life test of the anode electrocatalyst for 48 h followed by elemental analysis of the electrolyte shows that (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 improves the stability of the electrode in comparison to pure IrO2 electrocatalyst in oxygen reduction processes. The excellent electrochemical activity as well as long term structural stability of (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 during water electrolysis has been discussed using first-principles calculations of the total energies, electronic structures, and cohesive energies of the model systems.

AB  - Abstract: High gradient magnetic field separators have been widely used in a variety of biological applications. Recently, the use of magnetic separators to remove malaria-infected red blood cells (pRBCs) from blood circulation in patients with severe malaria has been proposed in a dialysis-like treatment. The capture efficiency of this process depends on many interrelated design variables and constraints such as magnetic pole array pitch, chamber height, and flow rate. In this paper, we model the malaria-infected RBCs (pRBCs) as paramagnetic particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid. Trajectories of the infected cells are numerically calculated inside a micro-channel exposed to a periodic magnetic field gradient. First-order stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs) governing the trajectory of particles under periodic magnetic fields due to an array of wires are solved numerically using the 1st to 5th order adaptive step Runge–Kutta solver. The numerical experiments show that in order to achieve a capture efficiency of 99% for the pRBCs it is required to have a longer length than 80mm; thisimplies that in principle, using optimization techniques the length could be adjusted, i.e., shortened to achieve 99% capture efficiency of the pRBCs.

AB  - Calorie restriction (CR) is a component of most weight loss interventions and a potential strategy to slow aging. Accurate determination of energy intake and %CR is critical when interpreting the results of CR interventions; this is most accurately achieved using the doubly labeled water method to quantify total energy expenditure (TEE). However, the costs and analytical requirements of this method preclude its repeated use in many clinical trials. Our aims were to determine 1) the optimal TEE assessment time points for quantifying average energy intake and %CR during long-term CR interventions and 2) the optimal approach for quantifying short-term changes in body energy stores to determine energy intake and %CR during 2-wk DLW periods. Adults randomized to a CR intervention in the multicenter CALERIE study underwent measurements of TEE by doubly labeled water and body composition at baseline and months 1, 3, and 6. Average %CR achieved during the intervention was 24.9 ± 8.7%, which was computed using an approach that included four TEE assessment time points (i.e., TEEbaseline, months 1, 3, and 6) plus the 6-mo change in body composition. Approaches that included fewer TEE assessments yielded %CR values of 23.4 ± 9.0 (TEEbaseline, months 3 and 6), 25.0 ± 8.7 (TEEbaseline, months 1 and 6), and 20.9 ± 7.1% (TEEbaseline, month 6); the latter approach differed significantly from approach 1 (P < 0.001). TEE declined 9.6 ± 9.9% within 2-4 wk of CR beginning and then stabilized. Regression of daily home weights provided the most reliable estimate of short-term change in energy stores. In summary, optimal quantification of energy intake and %CR during weight loss necessitates a TEE measurement within the first month of CR to capture the rapid reduction in TEE.

AB  - Secondary fermentations during the bulk storage of fermented cucumbers can result in spoilage that causes a total loss of the fermented product, at an estimated cost of $6,000 to $15,000 per affected tank. Previous research has suggested that such fermentations are the result of microbiological utilization of lactic acid and the formation of acetic, butyric, and propionic acids. The objectives of this study were to characterize the chemical and environmental conditions associated with secondary cucumber fermentations and to isolate and characterize potential causative microorganisms. Both commercial spoilage samples and laboratory-reproduced secondary fermentations were evaluated. Potential causative agents were isolated based on morphological characteristics. Two yeasts, Pichia manshurica and Issatchenkia occidentalis, were identified and detected most commonly concomitantly with lactic acid utilization. In the presence of oxygen, yeast metabolic activities lead to lactic acid degradation, a small decline in the redox potential (Eh, Ag/AgCl, 3 M KCl) of the fermentation brines, and an increase in pH to levels at which bacteria other than the lactic acid bacteria responsible for the primary fermentation can grow and produce acetic, butyric, and propionic acids. Inhibition of these yeasts by allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) resulted in stabilization of the fermented medium, while the absence of the preservative resulted in the disappearance of lactic and acetic acids in a model system. Additionally, three Gram-positive bacteria, Lactobacillus buchneri, a Clostridium sp., and Pediococcus ethanolidurans, were identified as potentially relevant to different stages of the secondary fermentation. The unique opportunity to study commercial spoilage sampies generated a better understanding of the microbiota and environmental conditions associated with secondary cucumber fermentations.

AB  - The periplasmic chaperones HdeA and HdeB are known to be important for cell survival at low pH (pH < 3) in Escherichia coli and Shigella spp. Here we investigated the roles of HdeA and HdeB in the survival of various enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) following exposure to pH 2.0. Similar to K-12 strains, the acid protections conferred by HdeA and HdeB in EHEC O145 were significant: loss of HdeA and HdeB led to over 100- to 1,000-fold reductions in acid survival, depending on the growth condition of prechallenge cells. However, this protection was much less in E. coli O157:H7 strains. Deletion of hdeB did not affect the acid survival of cells, and deletion of hdeA led to less than a 5-fold decrease in survival. Sequence analysis of the hdeAB operon revealed a point mutation at the putative start codon of the hdeB gene in all 26 E. coli O157:H7 strains analyzed, which shifted the ATG start codon to ATA. This mutation correlated with the lack of HdeB in E. coli O157:H7; however, the plasmid-borne O157-hdeB was able to restore partially the acid resistance in an E. coli O145ΔhdeAB mutant, suggesting the potential function of O157-HdeB as an acid chaperone. We conclude that E. coli O157:H7 strains have evolved acid survival strategies independent of the HdeA/B chaperones and are more acid resistant than nonpathogenic K-12 for cells grown under nonfavorable culturing con- ditions such as in Luria-Bertani no-salt broth at 28°C. These results suggest a divergent evolution of acid resistance mechanisms within E. coli. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Frustrated triangular molecule magnets such as {Cu3} are characterized by two degenerate 5=1/2 ground states with opposite chirality. Recently, it has been proposed theoretically [M. Trif et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101. 217201 (2008)] and verified by ab initio calculations [M. F Islam et al., Phys. Rev. B 82, 155446 (2010)] that an external electric field can efficiently couple these two chiral spin states, even in the absence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI). The SOI is, nevertheless, important since it introduces a splitting in the ground-state manifold via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the effect of the SOI on the chiral states within spin-density functional theory. We employ a recently introduced Hubbard-model approach to elucidate the connection between the SOI and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. This allows us to express the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction constant D in terms of the microscopic Hubbard-model parameters, which we calculate from first principles. The small splitting that we find for the {Cu3} chiral state energies ( &dgr; &ap; 0.02 meV) is consistent with experimental results. The one-band Hubbard-model approach adopted and analyzed here also yields a better estimate of the isotropic exchange constant than the ones obtained by comparing total energies of different spin configurations. The method used here for calculating the DM interaction unmasks its simple fundamental origin, which is the off-diagonal spin-orbit interaction between tin generally multireference vacuum state and single-electron excitations out of those states.

AB  - We investigated size effects on thermoelectricity in thin films of a strongly correlated layered cobaltate. At room temperature, the thermopower is independent of thickness down to 6 nm. This unusual behavior is inconsistent with the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory, which is used to describe conventional metals and semiconductors, and is attributed to the strong electron correlations in this material. On the other hand, the resistivity increases below a critical thickness of ∼30 nm, as expected. The temperature-dependent thermopower is similar for different thicknesses but the resistivity shows systematic changes with thickness. Our experiments highlight the differences in thermoelectric behavior of strongly correlated and uncorrelated systems when subjected to finite-size effects. We use the atomic-limit Hubbard model at the high-temperature limit to explain our observations. These findings provide new insights into decoupling electrical conductivity and thermopower in correlated systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, formed between the majority of land plants and ubiquitous soil fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota, is responsible for massive nutrient transfer and global carbon sequestration. AM fungi take up nutrients from the soil and exchange them against photosynthetically fixed carbon (C) from the host. Recent studies have demonstrated that reciprocal reward strategies by plant and fungal partners guarantee a "fair trade" of phosphorus against C between partners [Kiers ET, et al. (2011) Science 333:880-882], but whether a similar reward mechanism also controls nitrogen (N) flux in the AM symbiosis is not known. Using mycorrhizal root organ cultures, we manipulated the C supply to the host and fungus and followed the uptake and transport of N sources in the AM symbiosis, the enzymatic activities of arginase and urease, and fungal gene expression in the extraradical and intraradical mycelium. We found that the C supply of the host plant triggers the uptake and transport of N in the symbiosis, and that the increase in N transport is orchestrated by changes in fungal gene expression. N transport in the symbiosis is stimulated only when the C is delivered by the host across the mycorrhizal interface, not when C is supplied directly to the fungal extraradical mycelium in the form of acetate. These findings support the importance of C flux from the root to the fungus as a key trigger for N uptake and transport and provide insight into the N transport regulation in the AM symbiosis.

AB  - Abstract: The objective of two experiments was to evaluate non-protein N supplementation with protected urea sources in terms of rumen fermentation products, nutrient digestibility, and N balance in ruminally fistulated beef steers (initial bodyweight 239±18kg) fed switchgrass hay. Experiment 1 compared urea with Optigen II®, and Experiment 2 compared urea with RumaPro®. In both experiments, supplements (400g/kg of daily dietary dry matter) were fed once daily or every 2h in a balanced design. Supplements contained soybean hulls, corn grain, vitamins, and minerals as well as non-protein N sources. Non-protein N provided 0.18g/g of dietary N. Switchgrass hay was fed once daily, at the same time as the supplement in the once-daily treatments. Dry matter intake (4.1kg/d in Experiment 1, 4.5kg/d in Experiment 2), dry matter digestibility (P<0.25, 0.58±0.014g/g in Experiment 1, 0.58±0.010g/g in Experiment 2), N balance (P<0.83, 11.3±1.9g/d in Experiment 1, 11.8±3.6g/d in Experiment 2), ruminal ammonia concentrations (P<0.29, 15.2±1.4mM in Experiment 1, 11.8±0.6mM in Experiment 2), and ruminal short-chain fatty acid concentrations (P<0.13, 77.7±3.0mM in Experiment 1, 75.4±3.0mM in Experiment 2) were not affected by feeding protected urea sources. Providing a steady supply of ruminally degradable N by feeding supplement every 2h vs once daily decreased ruminal ammonia concentrations by approximately one-half by 4h after feeding hay (P<0.01 in both experiments) and increased (P<0.02 in Experiment 1, P<0.08) in Experiment 2) apparent digestibility of dry matter (0.58–0.62 in Experiment 1, 0.56–0.61 in Experiment 2) and dietary fiber components.

AB  - Abstract: Sarcocystis nesbitti was first described by Mandour in 1969 from rhesus monkey muscle. Its definitive host remains unknown. 18S rRNA gene of S. nesbitti was amplified, sequenced, and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. Among those congeners available for comparison, it shares closest affinity with those species of Sarcocystis which use snakes as definitive hosts. We therefore hypothesize that a snake may serve as the definitive host for S. nesbitti. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The upper critical fields Hc2(T) of single crystals of Sr1-xEux(Fe0.89Co0.11)2As2 (x -- 0.20 and 0.46) were determined by radio-frequency penetration depth measurements in pulsed magnetic fields. Hc2(T) approaches the Pauli limiting field but shows an upward curvature with an enhancement from the orbital limited field, as inferred from the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg theory. We discuss the temperature dependence of the upper critical fields and the decreasing anisotropy using a two-band BCS model [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In this paper, we study the unsteady motion of an inhomogeneous incompressible viscous fluid, where the viscosity varies spatially according to various models. We study the Stokes-type flow for these types of fluids where in the first case the flow between two parallel plates is examined with one of the plates oscillating and in the second case when the flow is caused by a pulsatile pressure gradient. A general argument establishes the existence of oscillatory solutions to our problem. Exact solutions are obtained in terms of some special functions and comparisons are made with the cases of constant viscosity and the slow flow regimes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Syn-gas generation in the absence of oxygen by methane decomposition offers an interesting route to decrease reactor size and cost because methane is the only reactant in the gas phase. In this work, several catalysts were studied, Rh/CeO2, Pt/CeO2, Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x , Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x , Rh/γ-Al2O3 and Pt/γ-Al2O3 for methane reforming in the absence of gaseous oxygen. Rhodium showed a superior catalytic activity and selectivity with respect to Pt. This catalytic behavior may be due to the strong metal-support interaction, associated with the formation of mixed metal–oxide species at the interface. The addition of Gd3+ to ceria lowered the required temperatures for catalyst activation with respect to the un-doped material. Conversely to oxygen ion conducting materials, which showed a high selectivity for syn-gas generation, the non-oxygen conducting catalysts did not generated carbon monoxide. These results may be correlated to their oxygen storage capacity and ionic conductivity. Since gaseous oxygen was not delivered to the reactor, it is clear that the only source of oxygen was the catalyst. During the isothermal isotopic oxygen exchange experiments over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x  and Pt/γ-Al2O3, results illustrated that oxygen in the gas phase was exchanged with the oxygen from the catalyst. Three different molecules were detected 16O–18O, 16O–16O and 18O18O. A higher amount of oxygen was exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x  with respect to Pt/γ-Al2O3. It is proposed that mainly lattice and surface oxygen were exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2–x  and Pt/γ-Al2O3, respectively. It is also suggested that two types of reaction mechanisms take place, the simple and multiple hetero-exchange with the participation of one and two catalyst oxygen atoms, respectively. Similarly to methane reforming, lower temperatures were required for the oxygen exchange experiments over Rh than over Pt, as illustrated by results of the temperature-programmed exchange reactions. In summary, the properties of doped ceria may open new catalytic routes for oxidation reactions without gaseous oxygen because post-oxidation can restore its oxygen storage capacity.

AB  - There is increasing interest in identifying new pathways and candidate genes that confer susceptibility to osteoporosis. There is evidence that adipogenesis and osteogenesis may be related, including a common bone marrow progenitor cell for both adipocytes and osteoblasts. Perilipin 1 ( PLIN1) and Perilipin 4 ( PLIN4) are members of the PATS family of genes and are involved in lipolysis of intracellular lipid deposits. A previous study reported gender-specific associations between one polymorphism of PLIN1 and bone mineral density (BMD) in a Japanese population. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in PLIN1 and PLIN4 would be associated with bone measures in adult Caucasian participants of the Framingham Osteoporosis Study (FOS). We genotyped 1,206 male and 1,445 female participants of the FOS for four single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in PLIN1 and seven SNPs in PLIN4 and tested for associations with measures of BMD, bone ultrasound, hip geometry, and height. We found several gender-specific significant associations with the measured traits. The association of PLIN4 SNP rs8887, G> A with height in females trended toward significance after simulation testing (adjusted P = 0.07) and remained significant after simulation testing in the combined-sex model (adjusted P = 0.033). In a large study sample of men and women, we found a significant association between one SNP in PLIN4 and height but not with bone traits, suggesting that PATS family genes are not important in the regulation of bone. Identification of genes that influence human height may lead to a better understanding of the processes involved in growth and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The effect of variation of composition on the structural, morphological, magnetic and electric properties of Mg1−x Ni x Cr x Fe2−x O4 (x =0.0–0.5) nanocrystallites is presented. The samples were prepared by novel polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted microemulsion method with average crystallite size of 15–47nm. The microstructure, chemical, and phase analyses of the samples were studied by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Compositional variation greatly affected the magnetic and structural properties. The high-field regimes of the magnetic loops are modelled using the Law of Approach (LOA) to saturation in order to extract information about their anisotropy and the saturation magnetization. Thermal demagnetization measurements are carried out using VSM and significant enhancement of the Curie temperature from 681K to 832K has been achieved by substitution of different contents of Ni–Cr. The dc-electrical resistivity (ρ  RT ) at potential operational range around 300K is increased from 7.5×108 to 4.85×109 Ωcm with the increase in Ni–Cr contents. Moreover, the results of the present study provide sufficient evidence to show that the electric and magnetic properties of Mg-ferrite have been improved significantly by substituting low contents of Ni–Cr.

AB  - Abstract: Coal gasification processes, such as the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), will increase in importance due to the expanding concern over CO2 emissions and global climate change. During the development of a Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent for warm (200°C) fuel gas cleanup, the catalytic formation of carbonyl sulfide (COS), was observed. This is attributed to a heterogeneous reaction involving fuel gas components (CO/CO2/H2/H2S/H2O) and Pd/γ-Al2O3. The concentration of COS increases 200-fold when exposed to the Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism is proposed and a kinetic model is developed based on experimental results. The effect of γ-Al2O3, a common catalyst for hydrolysis of COS, and H2O on the COS concentration is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Plant genomes contain large numbers of cell surface leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and intracellular nucleotide binding (NB)-LRR immune receptors encoded by resistance (R) genes that recognize specific pathogen effectors and trigger resistance responses. The unregulated expression of NB-LRR genes can trigger autoimmunity in the absence of pathogen infection and inhibit plant growth. Despite the potential serious consequence on agricultural production, the mechanisms regulating R-gene expression are not well understood. We identified microRNA (miRNA) progenitor genes precursor transcripts, and two miRNAs [nta-miR6019 (22-nt) and nta-miR6020 (21-nt)] that guide cleavage of transcripts of the Toll and Interleukin-1 receptor-NB-LRR immune receptor N from tobacco that confers resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). We further showed that cleavage by nta-miR6019 triggers RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6- and ribonuclease Dicer-like 4-dependent biogenesis of 21-nt secondary siRNAs "in phase" with the 22-nt miR6019 cleavage site. Furthermore, we found that processing of the 22-nt nta-miR6019 depended on an asymmetric bulge caused by mismatch in the nta-miR6019 precursor. Interestingly, coexpression of N with nta-miR6019 and nta-miR6020 resulted in attenuation of N-mediated resistance to TMV, indicating that these miRNAs have functional roles in NB-LRR regulation. Using a bioinformatics approach, we identified six additional 22-nt miRNA and two 21-nt miRNA families from three Solanaceae species-tobacco, tomato, and potato. We show that members of these miRNA families cleave transcripts of predicted functional R genes and trigger production of phased secondary 21-nt siRNAs. Our results demonstrate a conserved role for miRNAs and secondary siRNAs in NB-LRR/LRR immune receptor gene regulation and pathogen resistance in Solanaceae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Antibiotics have been administered to agricultural animals for disease treatment, disease prevention, and growth promotion for over 50 y. The impact of such antibiotic use on the treatment of human diseases is hotly debated. We raised pigs in a highly controlled environment, with one portion of the littermates receiving a diet containing performance-enhancing antibiotics [chlortetracycline, sulfamethazine, and penicillin (known as ASP250)] and the other portion receiving the same diet but without the antibiotics. We used phylogenetic, metagenomic, and quantitative PCR-based approaches to address the impact of antibiotics on the swine gut microbiota. Bacterial phylotypes shifted after 14 d of antibiotic treatment, with the medicated pigs showing an increase in Proteobacteria (1-11%) compared with nonmedicated pigs at the same time point. This shift was driven by an increase in Escherichia coli populations. Analysis of the metagenomes showed that microbial functional genes relating to energy production and conversion were increased in the antibiotic-fed pigs. The results also indicate that antibiotic resistance genes increased in abundance and diversity in the medicated swine microbiome despite a high background of resistance genes in nonmedicated swine. Some enriched genes, such as aminoglycoside O-phosphotransferases, confer resistance to antibiotics that were not administered in this study, demonstrating the potential for indirect selection of resistance to classes of antibiotics not fed. The collateral effects of feeding subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics to agricultural animals are apparent and must be considered in cost-benefit analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The anisotropic physical properties of single crystals of orthorhombic PtSn4 are reported for magnetic fields up to 140 kOe, applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic b axis. The magnetic susceptibility has an approximately temperature-independent behavior and reveals an anisotropy between the ac plane and b axis. Clear de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in fields as low as 5 kOe and at temperatures as high as 30 K were detected in magnetization isotherms. The thermoelectric power and resistivity of PtSn4 show the strong temperature and magnetic field dependencies. A change of the thermoelectric power at H = 140 kOe is observed as high as ≃50 &mgr; V/K. Single crystals of PtSn4 exhibit very large transverse magnetoresistance of ≃5 x 105% for the ac plane and of ≃1.4 x 105% for the b axis resistivity at 1.8 K and 140 kOe, as well as pronounced Shubnikov de Haas oscillations. The magnetoresistance of PtSn4 appears to obey Kohler's rule in (he temperature and field range measured. The Hall resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence at high temperatures followed by a sign reversal around 25 K which is consistent with thermoelectric power measurements. The observed quantum oscillations and band structure calculations indicate that PtSn4 has three-dimensional Fermi surfaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The refuge strategy is used worldwide to delay the evolution of pest resistance to insecticides that are either sprayed or produced by transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops. This strategy is based on the idea that refuges of host plants where pests are not exposed to an insecticide promote survival of susceptible pests. Despite widespread adoption of this approach, large-scale tests of the refuge strategy have been problematic. Here we tested the refuge strategy with 8 y of data on refuges and resistance to the insecticide pyriproxyfen in 84 populations of the sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) from cotton fields in central Arizona. We found that spatial variation in resistance to pyriproxyfen within each year was not affected by refuges of melons or alfalfa near cotton fields. However, resistance was negatively associated with the area of cotton refuges and positively associated with the area of cotton treated with pyriproxyfen. A statistical model based on the first 4 y of data, incorporating the spatial distribution of cotton treated and not treated with pyriproxyfen, adequately predicted the spatial variation in resistance observed in the last 4 y of the study, confirming that cotton refuges delayed resistance and treated cotton fields accelerated resistance. By providing a systematic assessment of the effectiveness of refuges and the scale of their effects, the spatially explicit approach applied here could be useful for testing and improving the refuge strategy in other crop-pest systems.

AB  - Abstract: Corn fiber gum (CFG) is a hemicellulose (arabinoxylan)-enriched fraction obtained by the extraction of corn bran/fiber using a mild alkaline hydrogen peroxide process. The unique polysaccharide, CFG, with its low solution viscosity has been proposed as a stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions. We have verified that in some model systems, CFG can out-perform the “gold standard” emulsifier, gum arabic. Our results have also shown that “pure” CFG fractions often contain considerable amounts of associated lipids, phenolic acids and proteins which contribute to its emulsifying properties. The extraction of CFG with alkaline hydrogen peroxide was investigated using different combinations of alkali concentration and time to identify the optimum extraction condition to retain its functional groups (protein, lipids and phenolic acids). The pure CFG prepared by this process was hydrolyzed with 1.5N methanolic KOH at 70°C for 1h to release hydroxycinnamic acids (p-coumaric and ferulic) and lipids. The total lipid was extracted with chloroform/methanol, evaporated and quantified. The released phenolic acids were identified and quantified using HPLC with detection by both UV and evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD). The protein content was determined by an AACC approved combustion method. The total lipids, phenolic acids and protein content in CFGs isolated with lower alkali concentration for a shorter time was comparatively higher than CFGs isolated with higher alkali concentration for a longer time. The presence of these phenolic acids, lipids and protein in CFG may contribute to its excellent emulsifying properties and may combine to give improved chemical, physical, and even nutritional properties. Understanding these critical structural elements required for optimal emulsification properties will allow future commercial producers of CFG to provide consistent quality and functionality in their products.

AB  - The effect of corn-soybean rotation on mycotoxin contamination in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill.) grains has not been fully evaluated. Therefore, this research investigated the effect of corn-soybean rotation on aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination in respective grains. The results showed that aflatoxin levels in soybean averaged 2.3, < 0.5, 0.6, and 6.8 ng/g in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, while corn aflatoxin levels were 16.7, 37.1, 2.4, and 54.8 ng/g, respectively. Aspergillus flavus colonization was significantly greater (P ⩽ 0.05) in corn (log 1.9, 2.9, and 4.0 cfu/g) compared to soybean (< 1.3, 2.6, and 2.7 cfu/g) in 2005, 2007, and 2008, respectively. Aflatoxigenic A. flavus isolates were more frequent in corn than in soybean in all four years. Higher fumonisin levels were found in corn (0.2 to 3.6 μg/g) than in soybean (< 0.2 μg/g). Rotating soybean with corn reduces the potential for aflatoxin contamination in corn by reducing A. flavus propagules in soil and grain and reducing aflatoxigenic A. flavus colonization. These results demonstrated that soybean grain is less susceptible to aflatoxin contamination compared to corn due to a lower level of colonization by A. flavus with a greater occurrence of non-aflatoxigenic isolates.

AB  - Abstract: Conserving biodiversity in fire-prone forest ecosystems is challenging for several reasons including differing and incomplete conceptual models of fire-related ecological processes, major gaps in ecological and management knowledge, high variability in fire behavior and ecological responses to fires, altered fire regimes as a result of land-use history and climate change, and the increasing encroachment into forest landscapes by humans. We briefly compare two ecologically distinct fire-prone forest regions, the Pacific Northwest, USA and southeastern Australia with the goal of finding ecological conservation generalities that transcend regional differences as well as differences in scientific concepts and management. We identify the major conceptual scientific and conservation challenges and then present a checklist of questions that need to be answered to implement place-based approaches to conserving biodiversity in fire-prone forest ecosystems. The two regions exhibit both similarities and differences in how biodiversity conservation is conceptualized and applied. Important research and management challenges include: understanding fire-prone systems as coupled natural-human systems, using the disturbance regime concept in multiple ways, dealing with large fire events, using language about the effects of fire with more precision, and researching and monitoring fire and biodiversity at multiple spatial scales. Despite the weaknesses of present conceptual models, it is possible to develop a checklist of principles or questions that can be used to guide management and conservation at local scales across systems. Our list includes: establishing the socio-economic context of fire management, identifying disturbance regimes that will meet conservation goals, moving beyond fuel treatments as a goal, basing management goals on vital attributes of species, and planning for large events including post-fire responses.

AB  - Allotetraploid (2 n = 4 x = 28) Leymus triticoides and Leymus cinereus are divergent perennial grasses, which form fertile hybrids. Genetic maps with n = 14 linkage groups (LG) comprised with 1,583 AFLP and 67 heterologous anchor markers were previously used for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in these hybrids, and chromosomes of other Leymus wildryes have been transferred to wheat. However, identifications of the x = 7 homoeologous groups were tenuous and genetic research has been encumbered by a lack of functional, conserved gene marker sequences. Herein, we mapped 350 simple sequence repeats and 26 putative lignin biosynthesis genes from a new Leymus EST library and constructed one integrated consensus map with 799 markers, including 375 AFLPs and 48 heterologous markers, spanning 2,381 centiMorgans. LG1b and LG6b were reassigned as LG6b* and LG1b*, respectively, and LG4 Ns and LG4 Xm were inverted so that all 14 linkage groups are aligned to the x = 7 Triticeae chromosomes based on EST alignments to barley and other reference genomes. Amplification of 146 mapped Leymus ESTs representing six of the seven homoeologous groups was shown for 17 wheat- Leymus chromosome introgression lines. Reciprocal translocations between 4L and 5L in both Leymus and Triticum monococcum were aligned to the same regions of Brachypodium chromosome 1. A caffeic acid O-methyltransferase locus aligned to fiber QTL peaks on Leymus LG7a and brown midrib mutations of maize and sorghum. Glaucousness genes on Leymus and wheat chromosome 2 were aligned to the same region of Brachypodium chromosome 5. Markers linked to the S self-incompatibility gene on Leymus LG1a cosegregated with markers on LG2b, possibly cross-linked by gametophytic selection. Homoeologous chromosomes 1 and 2 harbor the S and Z gametophytic self-incompatibility genes of Phalaris, Secale, and Lolium, but the Leymus chromosome-2 self-incompatibility gene aligns to a different region on Brachypodium chromosome 5. Nevertheless, cosegregation of self-incompatibility genes on Leymus presents a powerful system for mapping these loci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chloroplasts are organelles found in cells of green plants and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Knowing a protein's subchloroplast location provides in-depth insights about the protein's function and the microenvironment where it interacts with other molecules. In this paper, we present BS-KNN, a bit-score weighted K-nearest neighbor method for predicting proteins' subchloroplast locations. The method makes predictions based on the bit-score weighted Euclidean distance calculated from the composition of selected pseudo-amino acids. Our method achieved 76.4% overall accuracy in assigning proteins to 4 subchloroplast locations in cross-validation. When tested on an independent set that was not seen by the method during the training and feature selection, the method achieved a consistent overall accuracy of 76.0%. The method was also applied to predict subchloroplast locations of proteins in the chloroplast proteome and validated against proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. The software and datasets of the proposed method are available at https://edisk.fandm.edu/jing.hu/bsknn/bsknn.html. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Gd5Ge3 compound prepared using high-purity gadolinium undergoes a structural deformation from hexagonal Mn5Si3-type structure into a new orthorhombic crystal structure. The temperature of the structural transition coincides with the Neél temperature (TN), confirming the coupling between magnetism and crystal structure. The same intermetallic compound prepared using a commercial grade of gadolinium shows only a minor orthorhombic structural deformation at TN, which is 19 K lower than that of a Gd5Ge3 sample prepared from the high-purity Gd. The first-principles electronic structure calculations confirm the antiferromagnetic orthorhombic structure as the ground state of Gd5Ge3 and show that interstitial impurities affect the strength of the antiferromagnetic interactions.

AB  - Abstract: This study presents an alternative assessment of the MODIS LAI product for a 58,000ha evergreen needleleaf forest located in the western Rocky Mountain range in northern Idaho by using lidar data to model (R2 =0.86, RMSE=0.76) and map LAI at higher resolution across a large number of MODIS pixels in their entirety. Moderate resolution (30m) lidar-based LAI estimates were aggregated to the resolution of the 1-km MODIS LAI product and compared to temporally-coincident MODIS retrievals. Differences in the MODIS and lidar-derived values of LAI were grouped and analyzed by several different factors, including MODIS retrieval algorithm, sun/sensor geometry, and sub-pixel heterogeneity in both vegetation and terrain characteristics. Of particular interest is the disparity in the results when MODIS LAI was analyzed according to algorithm retrieval class. We observed relatively good agreement between lidar-derived and MODIS LAI values for pixels retrieved with the main RT algorithm without saturation for LAI LAI≤4. Moreover, for the entire range of LAI values, considerable overestimation of LAI (relative to lidar-derived LAI) occurred when either the main RT with saturation or back-up algorithm retrievals were used to populate the composite product regardless of sub-pixel vegetation structural complexity or sun/sensor geometry. These results are significant because algorithm retrievals based on the main radiative transfer algorithm with or without saturation are characterized as suitable for validation and subsequent ecosystem modeling, yet the magnitude of difference appears to be specific to retrieval quality class and vegetation structural characteristics.

AB  - Single-crystal synchrotron x-ray diffraction studies of CeFeAsO reveal strong anisotropy in the charge-correlation lengths along or perpendicular to the in-plane antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave vector at low temperatures, indicating an anisotropic two-dimensional magnetoelastic coupling. The high-resolution setup allows to distinctly monitor each of the twin domains by virtue of a finite misfit angle between them that follows the order parameter. In addition, we find that the in-plane correlations, above the orthorhombic (O)-to-tetragonal (T) transition, are shorter than those in each of the domains in the AFM phase, indicating a distribution of the in-plane lattice constants. This strongly suggests that the phase above the structural O-to-T transition is virtually T with strong O-T fluctuations that are probably induced by spin fluctuations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rare-earth (R) half-Heusler compounds RBiPt exhibit a wide spectrum of interesting ground states. We have employed x-ray resonant magnetic scattering to elucidate the microscopic details of the magnetic structure in GdBiPt below TN = 8.5 K. Experiments at the Gd L2 absorption edge show that the Gd moments order in an antiferromagnetic stacking along the cubic diagonal [111] direction, satisfying one of the requirements for an antiferromagnetic topological insulator as proposed previously, where both time-reversal symmetry and lattice translational symmetry are broken, but their product is conserved.

AB  - High-precision measurements of (01 ||M/(Е2)||2) matrix elements from the Coulomb excitation of 124,126,128Sn on a 12C target are presented. The extracted B(E2) values decrease monotonically from the neutron midshell toward the 132Sn double-shell closure, despite a near constancy in the first 2+ level energy. Furthermore, Coulomb excitation of l24,126,128Sn on an enriched 50Ti target, combined with the results from the l2C target, provide a measure of the static quadrupole moments, Q(21+) (expected to be zero for a spherical shape). These new results confirm that the unstable neutron-rich 126,128Sn isotopes have deformations consistent with zero. The present study marks the first report on measured 21+ static quadrupole moments for unstable closed-shell nuclei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Parents can influence the phenotypes of their offspring via a number of mechanisms. In harvester ants, whether female progeny develop into workers or daughter queens is strongly influenced by the age and temperature conditions experienced by their mother, which is associated with variation in maternal ecdysteroid deposition in fertilized eggs. In many insects, juvenile hormone (JH) is antagonistic to ecdysteroid release, suggesting that seasonal and age-based variation in maternal JH titers may explain maternal effects on offspring size and reproductive caste. To test this hypothesis, we artificially increased maternal JH titers with methoprene, a JH analog, in laboratory colonies of two Pogonomyrmex populations exhibiting genetic caste determination. Increasing maternal JH resulted in a 50% increase in worker body size, as well as a sharp reduction in total number of progeny reared, but did not alter the genotype of progeny reared to adulthood. The intergenerational effect of JH manipulation was not mediated by a reduction in ecdysteroid deposition into eggs; instead, changes in egg size, trophic egg availability or brood/worker ratio may have altered the nutritional environment of developing larvae. Egg ecdysteroid content was significantly negatively correlated with natural variation in worker body size, however, suggesting that there are multiple independent routes by which queens can modify offspring phenotypes.

AB  - Abstract: This study was conducted to assess evolutionary relationships, species diversity and trichothecene toxin potential of five Fusarium graminearum complex (FGSC) isolates identified as genetically novel during prior Fusarium head blight (FHB) surveys in Nepal and Louisiana. Results of a multilocus genotyping (MLGT) assay for B-trichothecene species determination indicated these isolates might represent novel species within the FGSC. GCPSR-based phylogenetic analyses of a 12-gene dataset, comprising portions of seven loci totaling 13.1kb of aligned DNA sequence data, provided strong support for the genealogical exclusivity of the Nepalese and Louisianan isolates. Accordingly, both species are formally recognized herein as novel FGSC species. Fusarium nepalense was resolved as the sister lineage of Fusarium ussurianum + Fusarium asiaticum within an Asian subclade of the FGSC. Fusarium louisianense was strongly supported as a reciprocally monophyletic sister of Fusarium gerlachii + F. graminearum, suggesting that this subclade might be endemic to North America. Multilocus Bayesian species tree analyses augment these results and provide evidence for a distinct lineage within F. graminearum predominately from the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. As predicted by the MLGT assay, mycotoxin analyses demonstrated that F. nepalense and F. louisianense could produce 15ADON and nivalenol, respectively, in planta. In addition, both species were only able to induce mild FHB symptoms on wheat in pathogenicity experiments. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A complex interaction of controllable and uncontrollable factors is involved in aerial application of crop production and protection materials. Although it is difficult to completely characterize spray deposition and drift, these important factors can be estimated with appropriate sampling protocol and analysis. Application height is an important variable influencing off-target spray drift, but this variable has not been easily measured or logged. A custom-configured aircraft-mounted laser with logging capabilities makes this possible. This study was designed to investigate droplet size and deposition characteristics of a low drift CP flat-fan nozzle at application altitudes 3.7 m, 4.9 m, and 6.1 m. In the study, CP flat-fan nozzles were set to a downward angle of 30 degrees applying a mixture of water, Syl-Tac® adjuvant, and Rubidium Chloride (RbCl) tracer at a 28.5 L ha application rate. Spray droplets were collected using water sensitive paper (WSP) cards placed in the spray swath. Mylar sheets were also placed in the swath and downwind for drift sampling. Statistical analysis indicated that median droplet diameter as determined by WSP in the spray swath was not significantly influenced by spray application height. Similarly, statistical analysis also indicated that concentration of RbCl tracer from Mylar samplers in the spray swath was not significantly influenced by application height. Application height had a significant effect on spray deposition from drift samplers, along with wind direction and relative humidity. Final results for drift samplers may have been influenced by shifts in wind direction that altered the relationship between orientation of samplers and wind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study analyzes changes in the determinants of use of multiple food assistance (FA) programs by low-income children from 1990 to 2009. Using data from the 1990 and the 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, it compares very poor households with those that are poor and near poor. For both poverty groups, use of other welfare programs, especially Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, is found to be an important determinant of multiple FA program use, but the effects are found to decline over the study period. Volatility in household income-to-poverty ratios is also found to reduce both groups' participation in multiple programs, but this effect grows for the very poor over the length of the study. Very poor children in households with more employed and married adults are found to use fewer FA programs, although they are apparently eligible for these programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Ethanol production by a recombinant bacterium from wheat straw (WS) at high solid loading by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was studied. The yield of total sugars from dilute acid pretreated WS (150g/L) after enzymatic saccharification was 86.3±1.5g/L. The pretreated WS was bio-abated by growing a fungal strain aerobically in the liquid portion for 16h. The recombinant Escherichia coli strain FBR5 produced 41.1±1.1gethanol/L from non-abated WS hydrolyzate (total sugars, 86.6±0.3g/L) in 168h at pH7.0 and 35°C. The bacterium produced 41.8±0.0gethanol/L in 120h from the bioabated WS by SHF. It produced 41.6±0.7gethanol/L in 120h from bioabated WS by fed-batch SSF. This is the first report of the production of above 4% ethanol from a lignocellulosic hydrolyzate by the recombinant bacterium. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Surface roughness is thought to affect concentrated flow erosion – a major mechanism of soil loss on disturbed rangelands. However, quantifying surface roughness in the field at appropriately fine spatial scales is laborious and the scale at which to conduct meaningful roughness measurements is difficult to discern. Rapid, objective, and repeatable field methods are therefore needed to accurately measure surface roughness across a range of spatial scales to advance our understanding and modeling of concentrated flow erosion processes. Surface roughness can be derived from surface topography mapped at the sub-cm level using a field-portable terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). To test the suitability of terrestrial laser scanning for studying surface roughness effects on erosion processes in rangelands, we used concentrated flow simulation techniques at 8.5m2 plots that were randomly placed at rangeland sites in southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho, USA. Local surface roughness (locRMSH) was calculated as the standard deviation of TLS mapped surface heights within moving windows varying in size from 30×30 to 90×90mm. The mean locRMSH of the eroded area and entire plot were negatively correlated (r2 >0.71, RMSE<95.97gmin−1, and r2 >0.74, RMSE<90.07gmin−1, respectively) with concentrated flow erosion. The strength of the locRMSH–erosion relationship and regression model parameters were affected by the moving window size, emphasizing the scale dependence of the locRMSH–erosion relationship. Adjusting locRMSH for slope effects decreased the strength of the locRMSH–erosion relationship from r2 <0.83 to<0.26. Our results indicate that TLS is a useful tool to enhance our current understanding of the effect of surface roughness on overland flow erosion processes and advance hydrologic and erosion model parameter development. Further research is needed to evaluate the locRMSH – concentrated flow erosion relationship over a wider range of soil properties, surface conditions, and spatial extents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a facile method for producing high yields of liquid fuel intermediates. However, because most fast pyrolysis oils are highly oxygenated, acidic, and unstable, identification of feedstocks that produce higher quality pyrolysis liquids is desirable. Therefore, the effect of feedstock protein content was studied by performing fast pyrolysis experiments on biomass with varying protein content. The feedstocks ranged from low-protein content, ∼5% up to feedstocks with >40 wt.% protein content. Protein content was not a major factor in the yield of pyrolysis oil or the distribution of biomass carbon into the pyrolysis products. However, elevated levels of protein did cause a deoxygenation effect in the pyrolysis process with more of the oxygen rejected from the biomass as water. The deoxygenation caused the pyrolysis oil from the higher protein containing biomass to have higher energy content. Furthermore, the concentration of basic nitrogen groups caused the pyrolysis oil from the higher protein biomass to shift to a more neutral pH and lower total acid number than has been measured typically for lignocelluloic biomass pyrolysis oils. Some of the pyrolysis oils, particularly those from the mustard seed family presscakes exhibited better thermal stability than low-protein pyrolysis oils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Peanut allergy is recognized as one of the most severe food allergies. Some studies have investigated the effects of enzymatic treatments on the in vitro immunological reactivity of members of the Leguminosae family, such as the soybean, chickpea and lentil. Nevertheless, there are only a few studies carried out with sera from patients with a well-documented allergy. Methods: Roasted peanut protein extract was hydrolyzed by the sequential and individual action of 2 food-grade enzymes, an endoprotease (Alcalase) and an exoprotease (Flavourzyme). Immunoreactivity to roasted peanut extract and hydrolyzed samples was evaluated by means of IgE immunoblot, ELISA and 2-dimensional electrophoresis using sera from 5 patients with a clinical allergy to peanuts and anti-Ara h 1, anti-Ara h 2 and anti-Ara h 3 immunoblots. Results: Immunoblot and ELISA assays showed an important decrease of IgE reactivity and Ara h 1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3 levels in the first 30 min of hydrolyzation with Alcalase. In contrast, individual treatment with Flavourzyme caused an increase in IgE reactivity detected by ELISA at 30 min and led to a 65% inhibition of IgE reactivity at the end of the assay (300 min). Ara h 1 and the basic subunit of Ara h 3 were still recognized after treatment with Flavourzyme for 300 min. Conclusion: Hydrolysis with the endoprotease Alcalase decreases IgE reactivity in the soluble protein fraction of roasted peanut better than hydrolysis with the exoprotease Flavourzyme.

AB  - HoAl2 exhibits a first-order spin reorientation transition at 20 K, which is manifested as a sharp peak in the heat capacity. When Ho is partially replaced by only 5% of Tb, the sharp heat-capacity peak in Ho1-xTbxAl2 (x = 0.05) disappears, and then reappears again for x ≥ 0.07. For x = 0.05, the anomaly corresponding to the spin reorientation transition is barely seen in the heat capacity, but as x exceeds 0.07 the weak anomaly transforms to a sharp peak. The spin reorientation transition temperature increases to 29 K for x = 0.05, and as x increases further the transition shifts to lower temperature and returns to ∼20 K for x = 0.25. The transition is no longer observed when x exceeds 0.60. Temperature-dependent x-ray powder-diffraction data confirm the first-order nature of the spin reorientation transition for the alloy with x = 0.40, and indicate that the compound retains the room-temperature cubic structure within the sensitivity of the technique. Experimental observations are discussed considering the easy magnetization directions of HoAl2 and TbAl2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We used eddy covariance and ecological measurements to investigate the effects of reduced impact logging (RIL) on an old-growth Amazonian forest. Logging caused small decreases in gross primary production, leaf production, and latent heat flux, which were roughly proportional to canopy loss, and increases in heterotrophic respiration, tree mortality, and wood production. The net effect of RIL was transient, and treatment effects were barely discernable after only 1 y. RIL appears to provide a strategy for managing tropical forest that minimizes the potential risks to climate associated with large changes in carbon and water exchange. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: An Integrated Vacuum Carbonate Absorption Process (IVCAP) currently under development could significantly reduce the energy consumed when capturing CO2 from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants. The biocatalyst carbonic anhydrase (CA) has been found to effectively promote the absorption of CO2 into the potassium carbonate solution that would be used in the IVCAP. Two CA enzymes were immobilized onto three selected support materials having different pore structures. The thermal stability of the immobilized CA enzymes was significantly greater than their free counterparts. For example, the immobilized enzymes retained at least 60% of their initial activities after 90days at 50°C compared to about 30% for their free counterparts under the same conditions. The immobilized CA also had significantly improved resistance to concentrations of sulfate (0.4M), nitrate (0.05M) and chloride (0.3M) typically found in flue gas scrubbing liquids than their free counterparts.

AB  - The Q gene encodes an AP2-like transcription factor that played an important role in domestication of polyploid wheat. The chromosome 5A Q alleles (5AQ and 5Aq) have been well studied, but much less is known about the q alleles on wheat homoeologous chromosomes 5B (5Bq) and 5D (5Dq). We investigated the organization, evolution, and function of the Q/q homoeoalleles in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Q/q gene sequences are highly conserved within and among the A, B, and D genomes of hexaploid wheat, the A and B genomes of tetraploid wheat, and the A, S, and D genomes of the diploid progenitors, but the intergenic regions of the Q/q locus are highly divergent among homoeologous genomes. Duplication of the q gene 5.8 Mya was likely followed by selective loss of one of the copies from the A genome progenitor and the other copy from the B, D, and S genomes. A recent V329-to-I mutation in the A lineage is correlated with the Q phenotype. The 5Bq homoeoalleles became a pseudogene after allotetraploidization. Expression analysis indicated that the homoeoalleles are coregulated in a complex manner. Combined phenotypic and expression analysis indicated that, whereas 5AQ plays a major role in conferring domestication-related traits, 5Dq contributes directly and 5Bq indirectly to suppression of the speltoid phenotype. The evolution of the Q/q loci in polyploid wheat resulted in the hyperfunctionalization of 5AQ, pseudogenization of 5Bq, and subfunctionalization of 5Dq, all contributing to the domestication traits.

AB  - Abstract: Fruit from 42 blueberry (Vaccinium species) cultivars, including 36 rabbiteye cultivars (Vaccinium ashei Reade), 3 V. ashei hybrid derivatives and 3 northern highbush (V. corymbosum L.) standards, were evaluated for antioxidant activities (AA), levels of antioxidant enzymes [catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) and guaiacol peroxidase (G-POD)], and antioxidant nonenzyme components [ascorbic acid (ASA) and glutathione (GSH)]. The results of this study showed that cultivars had varying levels of AA, a wide range of antioxidant enzyme activities and various amounts of nonenzyme components. The correlations between AA and all of the enzyme activities or nonenzyme components were positive and high in the 42 cultivars tested in this study. The correlation (R 2) values between AA and CAT, SOD, DHAR, MDAR, GSH-POD, GR, G-POD and AsA-POD were 0.91, 0.91, 0.91, 0.91, 0.90, 0.90, 0.90, and 0.90, respectively. The correlations between AA and ASA and GSH were 0.94 and 0.92, respectively. Among all 42 cultivars, ‘Early May’ had the highest activities of the AA, AsA-POD, G-POD, DHAR and MDAR and the highest amounts of ASA and GSH, whereas ‘Elliott’ had the highest levels of GR, GSH and SOD.

AB  - Vesicular stomatitis (VS) viruses have been classified into two serotypes: New Jersey (VSNJV) and Indiana (VSIV). Here, we have characterized field isolates causing vesicular stomatitis in Brazil and Argentina over a 35-year span. Cluster analysis based on either serological relatedness, as inferred from virus neutralization and complement fixation assays, or nucleotide sequences of two separate genes (phosphoprotein or glycoprotein) grouped the field isolates into two distinct monophyletic groups within the Indiana serogroup. One group included seven viruses from Brazil and Argentina that were serologically classified as Indiana-2 and Cocal virus (COCV). The other group contained three viruses from Brazil that were serologically classified as Indiana-3 and the prototype of this group, Alagoas virus (VSAV). Interestingly, two vesiculoviruses that were isolated from insects but do not cause disease in animals, one from Brazil (Maraba virus; MARAV) and the other from Colombia (CoAr 171638), grouped into two separate genetic lineages within the Indiana serotype. Our data provide support for the classification of viruses causing clinical VS in livestock in Brazil and Argentina into two distinct groups: Indiana-2 (VSIV-2) and Indiana-3 (VSIV-3). We suggest using nomenclature for these viruses that includes the serotype, year and place of occurrence, and affected host. This nomenclature is consistent with that currently utilized to describe field isolates of VSNJV or VSIV in scientific literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The regulation of reproduction within insect societies is a key component of the evolution of eusociality. Differential patterns of hormone levels often underlie the reproductive division of labor observed among colony members, and further task partitioning among workers is also often correlated with differences in juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroid content. We measured JH and ecdysteroid content of workers and queens of the ant Harpegnathos saltator. In this species, new colonies are founded by a single queen, but after she dies workers compete in an elaborate dominance tournament to decide a new group of reproductives termed 'gamergates.' Our comparisons revealed that queens, gamergates, and inside workers (non-reproductive) did not differ in levels of JH or ecdysteroids. However, increased JH and decreased ecdysteroid content was observed in outside workers exhibiting foraging behavior. Application of a JH analog to virgin queens of H. saltator, although effective at inducing dealation, failed to promote egg production. Together, these results support the hypothesis that JH has lost its reproductive function in H. saltator to regulate foraging among the worker caste. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In poultry processing plants, fecal material and ingesta are the primary source of carcass contamination with microbial pathogens. The current practice of the poultry inspection in the United States is primarily human visual observations. Since the visual inspection is becoming more challenging in poultry processing plants adopting high-speed lines, a rapid sorting system could significantly improve the detection and monitoring of carcasses with surface fecal material and ingesta. As a result, we developed a prototype line-scan hyperspectral imaging system configured as a real-time multispectral imaging subsystem for online detection of surface fecal material and ingesta. Specifically, we integrated a commercially available off-the-shelf hyperspectral image camera into the system with two line lights and a custom software program for real-time multispectral imaging. The bottleneck of the imaging system was the data acquisition. For that reason, a multithreaded software architecture was designed and implemented not only to meet the application requirements such as speed and detection accuracy, but also to be customizable to different imaging applications such as systemic disease detection in the future. The image acquisition and processing speed tests confirmed the system could operate to scan poultry carcasses in commercial poultry processing plants. The fecal detection algorithm was based on the previous research using different hyperspectral imaging systems. A new carcass detection and image formation algorithm was developed to allow existing image processing and detection algorithms reusable without any modifications. Sixteen chicken carcasses and four different types of fecal and ingesta samples were used in a study to test the imaging system at two different speeds (140 birds per minute and 180 birds per minute) in a pilot-scale poultry processing facility. The study found that the system could grab and process three waveband images of carcasses moving up to 180 birds per minute (a line-scan rate 286Hz) and detect fecal material and ingesta on their surfaces. The detection accuracy of the system varied between 89% and 98% with minimum false positive errors (less than 1%), depending on tested detection algorithms. Therefore, these findings provide the basis of not only a commercially viable imaging platform for fecal detection but also a single poultry inspection system for multiple tasks such as systemic disease detection and quality sorting.

AB  - Abstract: Animal studies have shown that life span is extended by caloric restriction (CR). This manuscript describes the design and methodology of an innovative CR intervention, which is the treatment arm of the CALERIE Study. This study is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial examining the effects of 2years of CR on biomarkers of longevity among non-obese (BMI≥22kg/m2 and <28kg/m2) adults. CALERIE is the first investigation of the effects of long-term CR on the aging process in non-obese humans. 220 healthy volunteers across 3 sites were recruited beginning in May 2007. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio between the CR or control group (i.e., ad libitum diet). An intensive intervention was designed to assist participants in adhering to the 25% CR prescription for a two-year duration. The intervention was designed to optimize the likelihood that 25% CR would be achieved through a variety of nutritional and behavioral strategies, several of which are innovative methods for achieving CR. The intervention includes the following components: an intensive, “mixed” format schedule of group/individual sessions, meal provision phase with exposure to various diets, Personal Digital Assistants to monitor caloric intake, unique portion estimation training, tailored treatment using a computer tracking system, toolbox strategies and algorithms, as well as comprehensive coverage of nutrition and behavioral topics in order to assist participants in meeting their CR goal. This manuscript provides an overview of the CR intensive intervention and may be of assistance for other researchers and clinicians in designing future trials. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: To study the contributions of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) to the gluten macropolymer and dough properties, wheat HMW-GS (x- and y-types) are synthesized in a bacterial expression system. These subunits are then purified and used to supplement dough mixing and extensigraph experiments through dough partial reduction and reoxidation to allow these exogenously added HMW-GS to incorporate into gluten polymers. Detailed results are given for seven mixing and two extension parameters. HMW-GS synthesized in bacteria behaved similarly under these conditions to the same HMW-GS extracted from wheat flour. These experiments initially focused on the HMW-GS of the D-genome of hexaploid wheat encoded at the Glu-D1 locus; e.g. the Dx2, Dx5, Dy10, and Dy12 subunits. Experiments used five different flours and results are shown to be consistent when normalized to results from Dx5. The incorporation of Dx-type subunits into the gluten disulfide bonded network has greater effects on dough parameters than incorporation of Dy-type subunits. When Glu-D1 x- and y-type subunits are incorporated together, there are synergistic effects greater than those with either subunit type alone. This synergistic effect was greatest with approximately equal amounts of Dx- and Dy-type subunits – implying a 1:1 stoichiometric relationship. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: An in vitro system for incorporating bacterially produced high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) into doughs was used to study the effects of specific domains of the HMW-GS. Synergistic effects of incorporating into doughs both the Dx5 and Dy10 subunits are localized to the N-terminal domains. All single and pair-wise combinations of original subunits and hybrid subunits with their N-terminal domains exchanged between Dx5 and Dy10 finds three classes of respondents: the greatest response is when the N-termini of both Dx5 and Dy10 are present, followed by presence of the Dx5 N-terminus alone, and the least response by the presence of the Dy10 N-terminus alone. In addition, studies of Dx5 variants possessing repetitive domains of different length and composition find evidence that the length of the HMW-GS repetitive domain is important for dough properties and that the exact composition of the repeat domain has a detectible, though lesser contribution. Finally, in this experimental system, the Glu-D1 x- and y-subunits function in the mixing experiments as if they were a fused dimer, although the exact molecular basis of the effect is not known.

AB  - Introduction: Circadian variability of circulating lep-tin levels has been well established over the last decade. However, the circadian behavior of leptin in human adipose tissue remains unknown. This also applies to the soluble leptin receptor. Objective: We investigated the ex vivo circadian behavior of leptin and its receptor expression in human adipose tissue (AT). Subjects and methods: Visceral and subcutaneous abdominal AT biopsies (n = 6) were obtained from morbid obese women (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²). Anthropometric variables and fasting plasma glucose, leptin, lipids and lipoprotein concentrations were determined. In order to investigate rhythmic expression pattern of leptin and its receptor, AT expiants were cultured during 24-h and gene expression was analyzed at the following times: 08:00,14:00,20:00, 02:00 h, using quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Leptin expression showed an oscillatory pattern that was consistent with circadian rhythm in cultured AT. Similar patterns were noted for the leptin receptor. Leptin showed its achrophase (maximum expression) during the night, which might be associated to a lower degree of fat accumulation and higher mobilization. When comparing both fat depots, visceral AT anticipated its expression towards afternoon and evening hours. Interestingly, leptin plasma values were associated with decreased amplitude of LEP rhythm. This association was lost when adjusting for waist circumference. Conclusion: Circadian rhythmicity has been demonstrated in leptin and its receptor in human AT cultures in a site-specific manner. This new knowledge paves the way for a better understanding of the autocrine/paracrine role of leptin in human AT. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Introducción: La variabilidad circadiana de los niveles de leptina circulante se ha establecido en la ùltima década, pero actualmente se desconoce el comportamiento circadiano de leptina y su receptor en tejido adiposo (TA) humano. Objetivo: Investigar si existe un comportamiento circadiano en la expresión de leptina y su receptor en TA humano. Sujetos y métodos: Se obtuvieron biopsias de TA visceral y subcutáneo abdominal de mujeres (n = 6) obesas mórbidas (IMC ≥ 40 kg/m²). Se determinaron variables antropométricas y concentraciones plasmáticas en ayunas de glucosa, leptina, lípidos y lipoproteinas. Para investigar los patrones de expresión rítmica de los genes, se cultivaron explantes de TA durante 24-h y se analizó la expresión gènica a diferentes horas: 08:00,14:00,20:00, 02:00 h, usando PCR cuantitativa a tiempo real. Resultados: La leptina mostró un patrón oscilatorio de expresión comparable a un ritmo circadiano en TA cultivado. LEPR expresó patrones circadianos similares. La leptina presentó su acrofase (máxima expresión) durante la noche, pudiendo asociarse al bajo grado de acumulación y elevada movilización de grasa. Cuando se comparan ambos depósitos grasos, en el TA visceral se anticipó la expresión hacia la tarde/noche. Fue interesante comprobar, cómo los valores plasmáticos de leptina se asociaron con una disminución de amplitud del ritmo de LEP, pero al ajusfar para la circunferencia de cintura, dicha asociación desapareció. Conclusión: Demostramos ritmicidad circadiana de leptina y su receptor en TA humano, siendo específica de la localization adiposa. Estos descubrimientos preparan el terreno para una mejor comprensión del papel auto-crino/paracrino de la leptina en el TA humano. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biofuels developed from biomass crops have the potential to supply a significant portion of our transportation fuel needs. To achieve this potential, however, it will be necessary to develop improved plant germplasm specifically tailored to serve as energy crops. Liquid transportation fuel can be created from the sugars locked inside plant cell walls. Unfortunately, these sugars are inherently resistant to hydrolytic release because they are contained in polysaccharides embedded in lignin. Overcoming this obstacle is a major objective toward developing sustainable bioenergy crop plants. The maize Corngrassl (Cg1) gene encodes a microRNA that promotes juvenile cell wall identities and morphology. To test the hypothesis that juvenile bioniass has superior qualities as a potential biofuel feedstock, the Cg1 gene was transferred into several other plants, including the bioenergy crop Panicum virgatum (switchgrass). Such plants were found to have up to 250% more starch, resulting in higher glucose release from saccharification assays with or without biomass pretreatment. In addition, a complete inhibition of flowering was observed in both greenhouse and field grown plants. These results point to the potential utility of this approach, both for the domestication of new biofuel crops, and for the limitation of transgene flow into native plant species.

AB  - Viruses have evolved as combinations of genes whose products interact with cellular components to produce progeny virus~ throughout theplants. Some viral genes, particularly those that are involved in replication and assembly, tend to be relatively conserved, whereas other genes that have evolved for interactions with the specific host for movement and to counter host-defense systems tend to be less conserved. Closteroviridae encode 1-5 nonconserved ORFs. Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), a Closterovirus, possesses nonconserved p33. p18, and p13 genes that are expendable for systemic infection of the two laboratory hosts, Citrus macrophylla and Mexican lime. In this study, we show that the extended host range of CTV requires these nonconserved genes. The p33 gene was required to systemically infect sour orange and lemon trees, whereas either the p33 or the p18 gene was sufficient for systemic infection of grapefruit trees and the p33 or the p13 gene was sufficient for systemic infection of calamondin plants. Thus, these three genes are required for systemic infection of the full host range of CTV, but different genes were specific for different hosts. Remarkably, either of two genes was sufficient for infection of some citrus hybrids. These findings suggest that CTV acquired multiple nonconserved genes (p33, p18, and p13) and, as a result, gained the ability to interact with multiple hosts, thus extending its host range during the course of evolution. These results greatly extend the complexity of known virus-plant interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: An environmentally friendly pretreatment process was developed to fractionate cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from almond (Prunus dulcis) shells, consisting of hot water pretreatment (HWP) coupled with organic solvent (organosolv) pretreatment of water/ethanol (OWEP). This integrated pretreatment process proved more effective on the basis of yield of fermentable sugar and lignin separation compared with HWP alone, dilute acid pretreatment (DAP), ammonia pretreatment (AP), lime pretreatment LP, organosolv water/ethanol pretreatment (OWEP), and organosolv water/acetone pretreatment (OWAP). In the coupled hot water-organosolv process, hemicellulose sugars were recovered in the first residual liquid while varying amounts of cellulose was retained in the residual solid. The lignin fraction was obtained by simply adjusting the pH from the second liquid. The optimal two-stage process consisted of first HWP stage at 195 °C for 30 min, resulting in w glucose = 95.4% glucose recovery yield and w xylose = 92.2% xylose removal. The second organosolv OWEP stage was operated at 195 °C for 20 min, in ethanol in water mixtures of <phi>ethanol = 50% and resulted in nearly w glucose = 100% glucose recovery yield, w xylose = 90% xylose and w lignin = 61% lignin removal. After enzymatic hydrolysis, glucose yield was up to w glucose = 95%, compared to 61% yield from untreated almond. Images obtained via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) highlighted the differences in almond structure from the varying pretreatment methods during biomass fractionation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Mixed ruminal microbes were incubated for 24h in vitro with mixed forage and concentrate rations under conditions that differed in starch level (200 or 300g/kg dry matter (DM)), initial pH (6.3 or 6.7) and corn oil (0 or 10g/kg DM), in order to determine effects on fermentation (fiber digestibility, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production) and relative population sizes (RPS) of various bacterial taxa (expressed as a percentage of 16S ribosomal RNA gene copies determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)). Within the range of in vitro conditions tested, monensin-adapted inocula incubated in the presence of monensin did not differ in in vitro fiber digestibility relative to inocula from the same cows prior to adaptation and incubated in the absence of monensin. Although total VFA production did not differ among in vitro treatments, a shift from acetate toward propionate production was generally observed at the higher starch level, lower pH, and presence of corn oil. Surprisingly, monensin cultures displayed slightly decreased proportions of propionate and increased proportions of butyrate and valerate. After 24h in vitro incubations containing 300g starch/kg DM and in the absence of monensin, the RPS of 13 of the 16 taxa examined differed (P<0.01) from that of the inoculum. In vitro incubation increased the RPS of the Ruminococcus albus, Selenomonas ruminantium, Succinivibrio dextrinisolvens, and Megasphaera elsdenii, and decreased the RPS of the genus Prevotella, and the species P. brevis, P. bryantii, P. ruminicola, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Eubacterium ruminantium, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Streptococcus bovis. The RPS of Ruminobacter amylophilus, the genus Ruminococcus and the Domain Archaea did not change after 24h in vitro incubation. Shifts in RPS during in vitro incubation were remarkably independent of initial pH or corn oil. The data indicate that in vitro conditions can substantially change the quantitative distribution of ruminal bacterial populations, and that these changes are both inherent in the in vitro method, and distinct from specific differences in divergent in vitro environmental conditions.

AB  - Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Rosmarinic acid (RA), a caffeic acid-related compound found in high concentrations in Prunella vulgaris (self-heal), and ursolic acid (UA), a pentacyclic triterpene acid concentrated in Salvia officinalis (sage), have been traditionally used to treat inflammation in the mouth, and may also be beneficial for gastrointestinal health in general. Aim of the study: To investigate the permeabilities of RA and UA as pure compounds and in Prunella vulgaris and Salvia officinalis ethanol extracts across human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayers. Materials and methods: The permeabilities and phase II biotransformation of RA and UA as pure compounds and in herbal extracts were compared using Caco-2 cells with HPLC detection. Results: The apparent permeability coefficient (P app) for RA and RA in Prunella vulgaris extracts was 0.2±0.05×10−6 cm/s, significantly increased to 0.9±0.2×10−6 cm/s after β-glucuronidase/sulfatase treatment. P app for UA and UA in Salvia officinalis extract was 2.7±0.3×10−6 cm/s and 2.3±0.5×10−6 cm/s before and after β-glucuronidase/sulfatase treatment, respectively. Neither compound was affected in permeability by the herbal extract matrix. Conclusion: RA and UA in herbal extracts had similar uptake as that found using the pure compounds, which may simplify the prediction of compound efficacy, but the apparent lack of intestinal glucuronidation/sulfation of UA is likely to further enhance the bioavailability of that compound compared with RA.

AB  - During each molting cycle of insect development, synthesis of new cuticle occurs concurrently with the partial degradation of the overlying old exoskeleton. Protection of the newly synthesized cuticle from molting fluid enzymes has long been attributed to the presence of an impermeable envelope layer that was thought to serve as a physical barrier, preventing molting fluid enzymes from accessing the new cuticle and thereby ensuring selective degradation of only the old one. In this study, using the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, as a model insect species, we show that an entirely different and unexpected mechanism accounts for the selective action of chitinases and possibly other molting enzymes. The molting fluid enzyme chitinase, which degrades the matrix polysaccharide chitin, is not excluded from the newly synthesized cuticle as previously assumed. Instead, the new cuticle is protected from chitinase action by the T. castaneum Knickkopf (TcKnk) protein. TcKnk colocalizes with chitin in the new cuticle and organizes it into laminae. Down-regulation of TcKnk results in chitinase-dependent loss of chitin, severe molting defects, and lethality at all developmental stages. The conservation of Knickkopf across insect, crustacean, and nematode taxa suggests that its critical roles in the laminar ordering and protection of exoskeletal chitin may be common to all chitinous invertebrates.

AB  - Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) was transformed with various gene constructs to evaluate the utility of metabolic engineering for improving essential oil yield and composition. Oil yield increases were achieved by overexpressing genes involved in the supply of precursors through the 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. Two-gene combinations to enhance both oil yield and composition in a single transgenic line were assessed as well. The most promising results were obtained by transforming plants expressing an antisense version of (+)-menthofuran synthase, which is critical for adjusting the levels of specific undesirable oil constituents, with a construct for the overexpression of the MEP pathway gene 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (up to 61% oil yield increase over wild-type controls with low levels of the undesirable side-product (+)-menthofuran and its intermediate (+)-pulegone). Elite transgenic lines were advanced to multiyear field trials, which demonstrated consistent oil yield increases of up to 78% over wild-type controls and desirable effects on oil composition under commercial growth conditions. The transgenic expression of a gene encoding (+)-limonene synthase was used to accumulate elevated levels of (+)-limonene, which allows oil derived from transgenic plants to be recognized during the processing of commercial formulations containing peppermint oil. Our study illustrates the utility of metabolic engineering for the sustainable agricultural production of high quality essential oils at a competitive cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The dormant state known as diapause is widely exploited by insects to circumvent winter and other adverse seasons. For an insect to survive, feed, and reproduce at the appropriate time of year requires fine coordination of the timing of entry into and exit from diapause. One of the hormones that regulates diapause in moths is the 24-aa neuropeptide, diapause hormone (DH). Among members of the Helicoverpa/Heliothis complex of agricultural pests, DH prompts the termination of pupal diapause. Based on the structure of DH, we designed several agonists that are much more active than DH in breaking diapause. One such agonist that we describe also prevents the entry into pupal diapause when administered to larvae that are environmentally programmed for diapause. In addition, we used the unique antagonist development strategy of incorporating a dihydroimidazole ("Jones") trans-Proline mimetic motif into one of our DH agonists, thereby converting the agonist into a DH antagonist that blocks the termination of diapause. These results suggest potential for using such agents or next-generation derivatives for derailing the success of overwintering in pest species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The conductance of single-atom carbon chain (SACC) between two zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNR) is studied by an efficient scheme utilizing tight-binding (TB) parameters generated via quasi-atomic minimal basis set orbitals (QUAMBOs) and non-equilibrium Greenʼs function (NEGF). Large systems (SACC contains more than 50 atoms) are investigated and the electronic transport properties are found to correlate with SACCʼs parity. The SACCs provide a stable off or on state in broad energy region (0.1–1 eV) around Fermi energy. The off state is not sensitive to the length of SACC while the corresponding energy region decreases with the increase of the width of GNR. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A new approach was developed for estimating vertical soil water fluxes using soil water content time series data. Instead of a traditional fixed time interval, this approach utilizes the time interval between two sequential minima of the soil water storage time series to identify groundwater recharge events and calculate components of the soil water budget. We calculated water budget components: surface-water excess (Sw), infiltration less evapotranspiration (I – ET) and groundwater recharge (R) from May 2001 to January 2003 at eight locations at the USDA Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, USA. High uncertainty was observed for all budget components. This uncertainty was attributed to spatial and temporal variation in Sw, I – ET and R, and was caused by nonuniform rainfall distributions during recharge events, variability in the profile water content, and spatial variability in soil hydraulic properties. The proposed event-based approach allows estimating water budget components when profile water content monitoring data are available.

AB  - Even though peripheral circadian oscillators in the cardiovascular system are known to exist, the daily rhythms of the cardiovascular system are mainly attributed to autonomic or hormonal inputs under the control of the central oscillator, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In order to examine the role of peripheral oscillators in the cardiovascular system, we used a transgenic mouse where the Clock gene is specifically disrupted in cardiomyocytes. In this cardiomyocyte-specific CLOCK mutant (CCM) mouse model, the circadian input from the SCN remains intact. Both CCM and wild-type (WT) littermates displayed circadian rhythms in wheel-running behavior. However, the overall wheel-running activities were significantly lower in CCM mice compared to WT over the course of 5 weeks, indicating that CCM mice either have lower baseline physical activities or they have lower physical adaptation abilities because daily wheel running, like routine exercise, induces physical adaptation over a period of time. Upon further biochemical analysis, it was revealed that the diurnal oscillations of phosphorylation states of several kinases and protein expression of the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (L-VGCC) α1D subunit found in WT hearts were abolished in CCM hearts, indicating that in mammalian hearts, the daily oscillations of the activities of these kinases and L-VGCCs were downstream elements of the cardiac core oscillators. However, the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK exhibited robust diurnal rhythms in both WT and CCM hearts, indicating that cardiac p38 could be under the influence of the central clock through neurohormonal signals or be part of the circadian input pathway in cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these results indicate that the cardiac core oscillators have an impact in regulating circadian rhythmicities and cardiac function. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Plants in nutrient-poor environments typically have low foliar nitrogen (N) concentrations, long-lived tissues with leaf traits designed to use nutrients efficiently, and low rates of photosynthesis. We postulated that increasing N availability due to atmospheric deposition would increase photosynthetic capacity, foliar N, and specific leaf area (SLA) of bog shrubs. We measured photosynthesis, foliar chemistry and leaf morphology in three ericaceous shrubs ( Vaccinium myrtilloides, Ledum groenlandicum and Chamaedaphne calyculata) in a long-term fertilization experiment at Mer Bleue bog, Ontario, Canada, with a background deposition of 0.8 g N m a. While biomass and chlorophyll concentrations increased in the highest nutrient treatment for C. calyculata, we found no change in the rates of light-saturated photosynthesis ( A), carboxylation ( V) or SLA with nutrient (N with and without PK) addition, with the exception of a weak positive correlation between foliar N and A for C. calyculata, and higher V in L. groenlandicum with low nutrient addition. We found negative correlations between photosynthetic N use efficiency (PNUE) and foliar N, accompanied by a species-specific increase in one or more amino acids, which may be a sign of excess N availability and/or a mechanism to reduce ammonium (NH) toxicity. We also observed a decrease in foliar soluble Ca and Mg concentrations, essential minerals for plant growth, but no change in polyamines, indicators of physiological stress under conditions of high N accumulation. These results suggest that plants adapted to low-nutrient environments do not shift their resource allocation to photosynthetic processes, even after reaching N sufficiency, but instead store the excess N in organic compounds for future use. In the long term, bog species may not be able to take advantage of elevated nutrients, resulting in them being replaced by species that are better adapted to a higher nutrient environment.

AB  - ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were prepared by an electrospinning-electrospraying hybrid process in which ZnO nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of Nylon 6 nanofibers without becoming completely embedded. The prepared ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were evaluated for their abilities to kill bacteria or inhibit their growth and to catalytically detoxify chemicals. Results showed that these ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats had excellent antibacterial efficiency (99.99%) against both the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus cereus bacteria. In addition, they exhibited good detoxifying efficiency (95%) against paraoxon, a simulant of highly toxic chemicals. ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were also deposited onto nylon/cotton woven fabrics and the nanofiber mats did not significantly affect the moisture vapor transmission rates and air permeability values of the fabrics. Therefore, ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats prepared by the electrospinning-electrospraying hybrid process are promising material candidates for protective applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ObjectiveTo determine the number of 24 h dietary recalls required to adequately estimate nutrient intake in overweight and obese adults using the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) automated multiple-pass method (AMPM). In addition, the study quantified sources of variation in dietary intake, such as day of the week, season, sequence of diet interviews (training effect), diet interviewer, body weight and within- and between-subject variances in the intake of selected nutrients.DesignAdults having a BMI of ≥ 28 but <38 kg/m2 were included in the study. The USDA's AMPM was used to obtain 24 h dietary recalls every 10 d for 6 months. Dietary intake data were analysed to adequately estimate the number of 24 h recalls necessary to assess nutrient intake. Variance component estimates were made by using a mixed-model procedure.SettingThe greater Washington, DC, metropolitan area.SubjectsAdults (34 men and 39 women) aged 35–65 years.ResultsOverweight and obese adults completed fourteen 24 h dietary recalls. Utilizing within- and between-subject variances requires 5–10 and 12–15 d of 24 h dietary recalls in men and women, respectively, to estimate energy and macronutrient intakes in a 6-month period. Within- and between-subject variances were the major contributors to variance in nutrient intakes. Day of the week, season, sequence, diet interviewer and body weight had little impact on variance.ConclusionsThis information is valuable for researchers planning to conduct studies on free-living individuals that include the collection of dietary intake data.

AB  - We report on an experimental study of the thermal and magnetic properties of Er75Dy25 single crystals with magnetic fields applied parallel to the [0001] and [101̄0] directions. The [0001] direction is the easy axis of magnetization, while the [101̄0] direction is the hard axis of magnetization. Three major transitions are observed in the heat capacity, magnetization, and alternating current magnetic susceptibility data. A first-order transition is observed at ~30 K, and two second-order transitions occur at ~45 and ~110 K. The H-T phase diagrams constructed from the experimental data reveal that several magnetic phases, including ferromagnetic cone, ferromagnetic fan, and c axis-modulated phases, exist in an Er75Dy25 single crystal. Both similarities and dissimilarities are observed in the H-T phase diagrams of Er75Dy25 when compared to the H-T phase diagrams of pure Er single crystals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The local structures and dynamical properties of the liquid Cu80Si20 alloy have been studied by x-ray diffraction and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The pair-correlation functions and the structure factors derived from the three-dimensional coordinates of the MD configurations agree well with the experimental results. The local structure of the liquids is analyzed using Honeycutt-Andersen (HA) indices, Voronoi tessellation (VT), and an atomic cluster-alignment method. The HA indices analysis shows that the pentagonal bipyramid, a fragment of an icosahedron (ICO), plays a dominant role in the short-range order (SRO) of the Cu80S20, liquid. The HA indices corresponding to the pentagonal bipyramid increase dramatically with decreasing temperature. VT analysis indicates that, while the liquid does exhibit a strong icosahedral SRO, fcc-like SRO is also measurable. The results from VT analysis are further confirmed using the recently developed atomic cluster-alignment method. Finally, self-diffusion constants, as a function of temperature for both Cu and Si species, are calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We developed and evaluated a new method of low-pressure gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LP-GC/MS–MS) using a triple quadrupole instrument for fast analysis of 150 relevant pesticides in four representative fruits and vegetables. This LP-GC (vacuum outlet) approach entails coupling a 10m, 0.53mm i.d., 1μm film analytical column between the MS transfer line and a 3m, 0.15mm i.d. capillary at the inlet. The MS creates a vacuum in the 10m analytical column, which reduces the viscosity of the He carrier gas and thereby shifts the optimal flow rate to greater velocity. By taking advantage of the H2-like properties of He under vacuum, the short analytical column, a rapid oven temperature ramp rate, and the high selectivity and sensitivity of MS/MS, 150 pesticides were separated in <6.5min. The 2.5ms dwell time and 1ms interscan delay of the MS/MS instrument were critical for achieving >8 data points across the 2–3s wide peaks. To keep dwell and cycle times constant across all peaks, each segment consisted of 30 analytes (60 transitions). For assessment, we injected extracts of spiked broccoli, cantaloupe, lemon, and sweet potato from the updated QuEChERS sample preparation method. Average recoveries (n =72) were 70–120% for 144 of the pesticides, and reproducibilities were <20% RSD for all but 4 analytes. Also, detection limits were <5ng/g for all but a few pesticides, depending on the matrix. In addition to high quality performance, the method gave excellent reliability and high sample throughput, including easy peak integration to obtain rapid results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Optimal flowering time is critical to the success of modern agriculture. Sorghum is a short-day tropical species that exhibits substantial photoperiod sensitivity and delayed flowering in long days. Genotypes with reduced photoperiod sensitivity enabled sorghum's utilization as a grain crop in temperate zones worldwide. In the present study, Ma1, the major repressor of sorghum flowering in long days, was identified as the pseudoresponse regulator protein 37 (PRR37) through positional cloning and analysis of SbPRR37 alleles that modulate flowering time in grain and energy sorghum. Several allelic variants of SbPRR37 were identified in early flowering grain sorghum germplasm that contain unique loss-of-function mutations. We show that in long days SbPRR37 activates expression of the floral inhibitor CONSTANS and represses expression of the floral activators Early Heading Date 1, FLOWERING LOCUS T, Zea mays CENTRORADIALIS 8, and floral induction. Expression of SbPRR37 is light dependent and regulated by the circadian clock, with peaks of RNA abundance in the morning and evening in long days. In short days, the evening-phase expression of SbPRR37 does not occur due to darkness, allowing sorghum to flower in this photoperiod. This study provides insight into an external coincidence mechanism of photoperiodic regulation of flowering time mediated by PRR37 in the short-day grass sorghum and identifies important alleles of SbPRR37 that are critical for the utilization of this tropical grass in temperate zone grain and bioenergy production.

AB  - During dire conditions, the channelling of resources into reproduction ensures species preservation. This strategy of survival through the next generation is particularly important for plants that are unable to escape their environment but can produce hardy seeds. Here, we describe the multiple roles of OXIDATIVE STRESS 2 (OXS2) in maintaining vegetative growth, activating stress tolerance, or entering into stress-induced reproduction. In the absence of stress, OXS2 is cytoplasmic and is needed for vegetative growth; in its absence, the plant flowers earlier. Upon stress, OXS2 is nuclear and is needed for stress tolerance; in its absence, the plant is stress sensitive. OXS2 can activate its own gene and those of floral integrator genes, with direct binding to the floral integrator promoter SOC1. Stress-induced SOC1 expression and stress-induced flowering are impaired in mutants with defects in OXS2 and three of the four OXS2-like paralogues. The autoactivation of OXS2 may be a commensurate response to the stress intensity, stepping up from a strategy based on tolerating the effects of stress to one of escaping the stress via reproduction.

AB  - To better understand the effect of temperature on mycotoxin biosynthesis, RNA-Seq technology was used to profile the Aspergillus flavus transcriptome under different temperature conditions. This approach allowed us to quantify transcript abundance for over 80% of fungal genes including 1153 genes that were differentially expressed at 30 and 37 °C. Eleven of the 55 secondary metabolite clusters were upregulated at the lower temperature, including aflatoxin biosynthesis genes, which were among the most highly upexpressed genes. On average, transcript abundance for the 30 aflatoxin biosynthesis genes was 3300 times greater at 30 °C as compared with 37 °C. The results are consistent with the view that high temperature negatively affects aflatoxin production by turning down transcription of the two key transcriptional regulators, aflR and aflS. Subtle changes in the expression levels of aflS to aflR appear to control transcription activation of the aflatoxin cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Poultry ( Gallus gallus domesticus L.) litter (PL) is a readily available nutrient source for crop production in the Southeast USA. Long-term PL application may alter availability of N and the effect may be dependent on tillage practice. Tillage [no till (NT) vs. conventional (CT)] and N source (PL vs. commercial fertilizer CF) effects on N availability and plant uptake were evaluated in years 9, 10, and 11 of a long-term cropping systems study at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, J. Phil Campbell Sr. Natural Resource Conservation Center, Watkinsville, GA, USA. Mineral N in the top 10 cm, measured in situ, varied each year and was influenced by time, tillage, and N source. In 2003 (year 9), soil mineral N content was greater in CT-CF (100 kg ha) than in NT-PL (95 kg ha) but in 2004 (year 10) and 2005 (year 11) it was lower in CT-CF (93 and 60 kg ha) compared to NT-PL (140 and 71 kg ha). Nitrogen mineralization rates were generally greater for PL than for CF treatments with the difference being almost 1 kg ha day in 2003. Mineralization rates were greater for NT-PL compared to CT-CF in 2004 and 2005. Across the three growing seasons, corn ( Zea mays L.) aboveground biomass was consistently greater in the NT-PL treatment than in the NT-CF and CT-CF treatments. Correlation between aboveground biomass and N mineralization was greater for PL than for CF (0.75 vs. 0.48). Patterns of N mineralization and total soil mineral N indicated that the distribution of N through the growing season more closely matched corn N demand in PL treatments. Results indicate that improved N availability through the growing season, by combining NT and PL, can result in more profitable corn production in the southeast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Previous studies have shown that bleaching negatively affects the flavor of 70% whey protein concentrate (WPC70), but bleaching effects on lower-protein products have not been established. Benzoyl peroxide (BP), a whey bleaching agent, degrades to benzoic acid (BA) and may elevate BA concentrations in dried whey products. No legal limit exists in the United States for BP use in whey, but international concerns exist. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide (HP) or BP bleaching on the flavor of 34% WPC (WPC34) and to evaluate residual BA in commercial and experimental WPC bleached with and without BP. Cheddar whey was manufactured in duplicate. Pasteurized fat-separated whey was subjected to hot bleaching with either HP at 500 mg/kg, BP at 50 or 100 mg/kg, or no bleach. Whey was ultrafiltered and spray dried into WPC34. Color [L*(lightness), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue)] measurements and norbixin extractions were conducted to compare bleaching efficacy. Descriptive sensory and instrumental volatile analyses were used to evaluate bleaching effects on flavor. Benzoic acid was extracted from experimental and commercial WPC34 and 80% WPC (WPC80) and quantified by HPLC. The b* value and norbixin concentration of BP-bleached WPC34 were lower than HP-bleached and control WPC34. Hydrogen peroxide-bleached WPC34 displayed higher cardboard flavor and had higher volatile lipid oxidation products than BP-bleached or control WPC34. Benzoyl peroxide-bleached WPC34 had higher BA concentrations than unbleached and HP-bleached WPC34 and BA concentrations were also higher in BP-bleached WPC80 compared with unbleached and HP-bleached WPC80, with smaller differences than those observed in WPC34. Benzoic acid extraction from permeate showed that WPC80 permeate contained more BA than did WPC34 permeate. Benzoyl peroxide is more effective in color removal of whey and results in fewer flavor side effects compared with HP and residual BA is decreased by ultrafiltration and diafiltration.

AB  - Objective: To examine the agreement between perceptions, behaviors, and ability to purchase healthful food in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD). Design: A regional food store survey of healthful food options in supermarkets, small/medium stores, and convenience stores. Focus group discussions were conducted on shopping perceptions and behaviors. Setting: Counties in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Participants: Eighty-one LMD residents, 18-60+ years of age. Main Outcome Measure: Perceptions of healthful food and ability to acquire these food items across store types. Analysis: Focus group data were analyzed using thematic coding. Summary food store statistics were weighted, and estimates were constructed using SUD A AN 9. Data triangulation was achieved by comparing focus group findings with food availability data. Results: A majority (> 85%) of supermarkets had selected vegetables, breads, and cereals perceived as healthful, whereas availability was limited in small to medium grocery stores and convenience stores. Skim milk, perceived as healthful, was limited in all store types. Conclusions and Implications: Limited availability and perceived costs of healthful food in the LMD influenced purchasing behaviors. Attitudes and perceptions should be incorporated into intervention development to improve food choices in conjunction with increasing the availability of healthful food in the LMD.

AB  - Abstract: Scrapie is a prion-associated transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of sheep and goats, and frequently serves as a comparative model for other prion diseases, such as chronic wasting disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. TSEs are unique neurologic disorders that do not appear to be accompanied by robust systemic immunologic responses. mRNA data suggest that cytokines are involved in scrapie progression. In this study, brain tissue, mesenteric lymph nodes, splenic tissue and serum from ovinized mice were screened for 62 cytokine and cytokine-related proteins at pre-clinical and clinical points of infection. Expression patterns were compared to brain histology and clinical presentation. Increased cytokine expression in the brain and periphery were noted in scrapie-positive animals before histologic changes or clinical signs were evident. Of the 62 proteins examined, only IL-10 and TIMP-1 were consistently expressed at increased levels in the serum throughout infection. These cytokines could suggest future targets for biomarkers of infection and may, as well, provide insight into the biologic dynamics of prion-associated neurologic diseases.

AB  - Abstract: Flowering plants in agricultural landscapes can provide ecological services, such as nectar-provision for adult parasitic Hymenoptera. Various flowering native, introduced/established and cultivated potted plants were used to bait interception traps along the wooded margins of fields planted seasonally with either feed-corn or rye. Depending on circumstances, controls consisted of traps baited with the same species of plant without flowers, a pot/area without plants, or both. In most cases pots were rotated among trap-sites. Of the 19 plant species tested, 10 captured significantly more summed ichneumonoids and chalcidoids, seven more Braconidae, two more Ichneumonidae and six more Chalcidoidea than controls. Among Braconidae, traps baited with certain plants captured significantly more individuals of specific subfamilies. “Attractive” and “unattractive” plant species tended to cluster in a principal components vector space constructed from plant morphological characteristics (flower width, flower depth, flower density and plant height). Flower width and plant floral-area (flower width2 *flower density) were the variables that most often explained the variance in capture of the different parasitoid taxa. Our study identified particular plants that could be incorporated into regional conservation biological control programs to benefit parasitoid wasps In addition, the results indicate that morphological characteristics might help identify further suitable plant candidates for agricultural landscape modification.

AB  - Abstract: Mosquito iridescent viruses (MIV) are members of the genus Chloriridovirus that currently contains only the type IIV-3 from Aedes taeniorhynchus. The complete genome of invertebrate iridescent virus -3 (IIV-3) has been sequenced and the availability of a tissue culture system would facilitate functional genomic studies. This investigation, using quantitative PCR and electron microscopy, has determined that the mosquito cell lines Aedes aegypti (Aag2), Aedes albopictus (C6/36) and Anopheles gambiae (4a3A) as well as the lepidopteran cell line from Spodoptera frugiperda (SF9) are permissive to IIV-3 infection. However, IIV-3 infection remained longer in Aag2 and C6/36 cells. Virus produced in C6/36 cell line was infectious to larvae of A. taeniorhynchus by injection and per os. Ultrastructural examination of 4a3A and SF9 cells infected with IIV-3 revealed an unusual feature, where virions were localized to mitochondria. It is speculated that containment with mitochondria may play a role in the lack of persistence in these cell lines. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - American black bear (Ursus americanus) damage to corn crops in northern Wisconsin is managed by capturing and translocating bears away from fields where damage is occurring. Translocating wildlife is often not a preferred wildlife management technique because of the potential return and repeated capture of animals. Hundreds of bears are translocated in Wisconsin annually, but because anesthetizing, marking, and tracking individual bears is prohibited at the time of year that translocations occur, it is not known whether the same few bears are moved multiple times, or if a large pool of new bears continues to be trapped and translocated. To determine if bears are frequently recaptured, we used genetic techniques to identify translocated bears during 2006 and 2007. Of the 520 bears identified, very few (4%) were recaptured. Of the bears that were recaptured, most (71%) tended to return to within 10 km of their original capture locations. Our inferences relative to the direct cause of low capture rates are limited, but our results show that bears translocated from corn fields are not repeatedly recaptured in Wisconsin.

AB  - The barley stem rust resistance gene Reaction to Puccinia graminis 1 (Rpg1), encoding a receptor-like kinase, confers durable resistance to the stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. The fungal urediniospores form adhesion structures with the leaf epidermal cells within 1 h of inoculation, followed by hyphae and haustorium formation. The RPG1 protein is constitutively expressed and not phosphorylated. On inoculation with avirulent urediniospores, it is phosphorylated in vivo within 5 min and subsequently degraded. Application of arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide loops prevented the formation of adhesion structures for spore attachment, the phosphorylation of RPG1, and germination of the viable spores. Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid affinity chromatography of proteins from the ungerminated avirulent rust spores led to the purification and identification of a protein with fibronectin type III and breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein domains and a vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 9 with a coupling of ubiquitin to endoplasmic reticulum degradation domain. Both proteins are required to induce in vivo phosphorylation and degradation of RPG1. Combined application of both proteins caused hypersensitive reaction on the stem rust-resistant cultivar Morex but not on the susceptible cultivar Steptoe. Expression studies indicated that mRNA of both genes are present in ungerminated urediniospores and are constitutively transcribed in sporelings, infected leaves, and haustoria in the investigated avirulent races. Evidence is presented that RPG1, in yeast, interacts with the two protein effectors from the urediniospores that activate cooperatively the stem rust resistance protein RPG1 long before haustoria formation.

AB  - Abstract: Two surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor screening assays were developed and validated to detect 11 benzimidazole carbamate (BZT) and four amino-benzimidazole veterinary drug residues in liver tissue. The assays used polyclonal antibodies, raised in sheep, to detect BZTs and amino-benzimidazoles. A modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) extraction method was developed to isolate benzimidazole carbamate residues. Liver samples were extracted using an acetonitrile extraction method. BZTs were purified by dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) using C18 sorbent. Residues of amino-benzimidazoles were effectively cleaned-up using a simple cyclohexane defatting step. The assays were validated in accordance with the performance criteria described in 2002/657/EC. The BZT assay limit of detection was calculated to be 32μgkg−1, the detection capability (CCβ) was determined to be 50μgkg−1 and the mean recovery of analytes was in the range 77–132%. The amino-benzimidazole assay limit of detection was determined to be 41μgkg−1, the CCβ was determined to be 75μgkg−1 and analyte recovery was in the range 103–116%. Biosensor assay performance was tested by analysing liver tissue from animals treated with benzimidazole drugs and comparing the results with an ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) confirmatory method. All non-compliant samples were identified using the biosensor assays. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Investigated was the effect of nitrogen source on fermentation time, pullulan production, biomass, and UDPG-pyrophosphorylase activity. Pullulan production fell when excess nitrogen source was present. Biomass accumulation increased as the level of nitrogen source raised. Pullulan production in the medium containing NaNO2 was 58.53% (w/w), greater than that with (NH4)2SO4, reaching maximum production one day earlier compared to that with (NH4)2SO4. The optimum fermentation time for pullulan production, and UDPG-pyrophosphorylase activity were also affected by the nitrogen source in the medium. UDPG-pyrophosphorylase activity was highly correlated with the increasing production rate of pullulan. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Cellulosic biomass is an abundant and underused substrate for biofuel production. The inability of many microbes to metabolize the pentose sugars abundant within hemicellulose creates specific challenges for microbial biofuel production from cellulosic material. Although engineered strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can use the pentose xylose, the fermentative capacity pales in comparison with glucose, limiting the economic feasibility of industrial fermentations. To better understand xylose utilization for subsequent microbial engineering, we sequenced the genomes of two xylose-fermenting, beetle-associated fungi, Spathaspora passalidarum and Candida tenuis. To identify genes involved in xylose metabolism, we applied a comparative genomic approach across 14 Ascomycete genomes, mapping phenotypes and genotypes onto the fungal phylogeny, and measured genomic expression across five Hemiascomycete species with different xylose-consumption phenotypes. This approach implicated many genes and processes involved in xylose assimilation. Several of these genes significantly improved xylose utilization when engineered into S. cerevisiae, demonstrating the power of comparative methods in rapidly identifying genes for biomass conversion while reflecting on fungal ecology.

AB  - Climate change is likely to alter wildfire regimes, but the magnitude and timing of potential climate-driven changes in regional fire regimes are not well understood. We considered how the occurrence, size, and spatial location of large fires might respond to climate projections in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Wyoming), a large wildland ecosystem dominated by conifer forests and characterized by infrequent, high-severity fire. We developed a suite of statistical models that related monthly climate data (1972-1999) to the occurrence and size of fires >200 ha in the northern Rocky Mountains; these models were cross-validated and then used with downscaled (~12 km × 12 km) climate projections from three global climate models to predict fire occurrence and area burned in the GYE through 2099. All models predicted substantial increases in fire by midcentury, with fire rotation (the time to burn an area equal to the landscape area) reduced to <30 y from the historical 100-300 y for most of the GYE. Years without large fires were common historically but are expected to become rare as annual area burned and the frequency of regionally synchronous fires increase. Our findings suggest a shift to novel fire-climate-vegetation relationships in Greater Yellowstone by midcentury because fire frequency and extent would be inconsistent with persistence of the current suite of conifer species. The predicted new fire regime would transform the flora, fauna, and ecosystem processes in this landscape and may indicate similar changes for other subalpine forests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A distinctive methodology is developed to trace out the mixing into olive oil, which is marketed every year with 20% or more fraudulent oils. Such adulteration has been difficult to differentiate using fatty acid analysis and other available current techniques, as chemically fatty acids are same regardless of their source. The total genomic DNA isolated from olive oil, contaminated with canola and sunflower was analysed for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in noncoding spacer region between psbA-trnH and partial coding region of matK of plastid genome. These DNA regions were amplified by PCR using specific primers and resulting DNA sequences were matched to the predetermined consensus DNA barcode sequences of canola and sunflower for discerning the contaminations in olive oil samples. The matching of an adulterant DNA sequence with their respective DNA barcode revealed the mixing of canola and sunflower oil into olive is simpler way and the combined approach of molecular biology and bioinformatics technology can be used as an inexpensive method for ensuring the purity of olive. This plastid based molecular DNA technology can be used for rapid detection of adulteration easily up to 5% in olive oil. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) continues to pose a food safety hazard in ready-to-eat (RTE) meats due to potential cross-contamination. Chlorine is commonly used to sanitize processing equipment and utensils. However, Lm may survive the treatment and then contaminate food products. The objective of this study was to characterize the behavior of chlorine-exposed Lm on RTE ham during refrigerated storage. A two strain cocktail of Lm serotype 4b was pre-treated with chlorine (0, 25, and 50 ppm) for one hour, and then inoculated onto the surface of RTE ham to obtain an inoculum of about 3.0 log CFU/g. The inoculated ham samples were stored at 4, 8, and 16 °C, and Lm was enumerated periodically during the storage. The growth characteristics (lag time and growth rate) of Lm were estimated using the DMFit software. The results indicated that Lm growth was suppressed by the chlorine treatment. At 4 °C, the lag time of Lm with no (0 ppm) chlorine exposure (4.2 days) was shorter than those exposed to 25 ppm (5.4 days) and 50 ppm (6.8 days). The lag time decreased with the increase of temperature, e.g., at 25 ppm, the lag times were 5.2, 3.8 and 2.6 days for 4, 8 and 16 °C, respectively, and increased with the increase of chlorine concentration, e.g., at 16 °C, the lag times were 1.2, 2.6 and 4.0 days for 0, 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. However, growth rate increased with the increase of temperature and decreased with the increase of chlorine concentration. The lag time and growth rate as a function of chlorine concentration and temperature can be described using a modified Ratkowsky model and a modified Zwietering model, respectively. The results showed that the growth of Lm on RTE ham was delayed by pre-exposure to chlorine (at ≤50 ppm). The predictive models developed will contribute to microbial risk assessments of RTE meats.

AB  - Abstract: The genus Watsonia, belonging to the family Iridaceae, is comprised of about 50 species including W. laccata (Jacquin) Ker Gawler that flowers from September to November following low temperature and winter rainfall. Therefore, we hypothesized that flowering would be favored by forcing at low greenhouse temperatures. Using clonal W. laccata corms, four experiments were designed to investigate the effect of temperatures during corm storage, forcing, and their interaction on growth and flowering. Corm formation is favored by growing plants at 18°–20°/15°–17°C and 21°–23°/18°–20°C, day/night temperatures. Flowering was earliest with corms produced at 24°–26°/18°–20°C and forced at 18°–20/15°–17°C, and was significantly delayed when forced at 27°–29°/24°–26°C. Flowering was, however, favored by 2 or 4weeks of high temperatures (27°–29°/24°–26°C) prior to forcing at low temperatures (18°–20°/15°–17°C). The number of florets was not significantly affected by corm storage, forcing temperatures, or their interaction, although forcing at high temperatures tends to reduce the floret number. Burn symptom at the tips of leaves was frequently observed, and further studies are required to understand the cause of the tip burn and how to correct the symptom. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Although it is well established that human adipose tissue (AT) shows circadian rhythmicity, published studies have been discussed as if tissues or systems showed only one or few circadian rhythms at a time. To provide an overall view of the internal temporal order of circadian rhythms in human AT including genes implicated in metabolic processes such as energy intake and expenditure, insulin resistance, adipocyte differentiation, dyslipidemia, and body fat distribution. Visceral and subcutaneous abdominal AT biopsies (n = 6) were obtained from morbid obese women (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m). To investigate rhythmic expression pattern, AT explants were cultured during 24-h and gene expression was analyzed at the following times: 08:00, 14:00, 20:00, 02:00 h using quantitative real-time PCR. Clock genes, glucocorticoid metabolism-related genes, leptin, adiponectin and their receptors were studied. Significant differences were found both in achrophases and relative-amplitude among genes ( P < 0.05). Amplitude of most genes rhythms was high (>30%). When interpreting the phase map of gene expression in both depots, data indicated that circadian rhythmicity of the genes studied followed a predictable physiological pattern, particularly for subcutaneous AT. Interesting are the relationships between adiponectin, leptin, and glucocorticoid metabolism-related genes circadian profiles. Their metabolic significance is discussed. Visceral AT behaved in a different way than subcutaneous for most of the genes studied. For every gene, protein mRNA levels fluctuated during the day in synchrony with its receptors. We have provided an overall view of the internal temporal order of circadian rhythms in human adipose tissue. J. Cell. Physiol. 226: 2075-2080, 2011. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Polydiacetylene (PDA), as a unique conjugated polymer, has shown its potential in the application of chem/bio-sensors and optoelectronics. In this work, we first infiltrated PDA monomer (10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid, PCDA) melt into anodized aluminum oxide template, and then illuminated the infiltrated template with UV light to initiate the polymerization of PCDA. After etching away the aluminum oxide templates, we obtained solid poly-PCDA nanofibers. We found that even tightly confined in template pores with diameter as small as ∼35nm, PCDA crystals were able to be polymerized through a solid polymerization mechanism induced by UV light. Poly-PCDA nanofibers, both in the released form and embedded in the template, showed characteristic blue to red color change in sensing exposure of organic solvents and temperature increasing, and the red colored fibers possessed strong fluorescence. Moreover, poly-PCDA nanofibers were highly crystalline, and oriented favorably in some certain direction due to the confinement of nanopores, as demonstrated by X-ray diffraction texture analysis and orientation distribution analysis by scanning confocal optical microscopy.

AB  - Abstract: The pedostructure concept characterizes a soil based upon soil structural properties to predict soil–water behavior. The goal of this work was to determine the impact of land management on the measured pedostructure parameters, the quantitative soil structural properties used for modeling soil–water behavior. Soil samples (fine, illitic, mesic, Aquic Hapludalfs and fine, illitic, mesic, Aeric Epiaqualfs) were taken in May 2007 from DeKalb County in northeastern Indiana. The ideal pedostructure parameters were extracted from the continuously measured shrinkage and potential curves from the surface and diagnostic subsurface horizons of two soil series, differing slightly in drainage characteristics, one soil under no-tillage and the other under rotational tillage. Additionally, the pedostructure parameters were estimated from measured and estimated soil physical properties. Three of the seven pedostructure parameters: Wm (saturated micropore water content), Kbs (micropore linear shrinkage rate), and Vo (soil specific volume at the oven-dry state) were significantly different due to the tillage treatment, while none of the parameters exhibited any significant differences due to depth. Vo also showed a significant interaction between tillage and depth, as the rotational tillage subsurface samples had much lower values than other combinations of tillage and depth. Overall, no-tillage exhibits a larger amount of micropores, as evidenced by the higher Wm value, as well as a more strongly structured micropore system, as seen in the lower Kbs, compared to rotational tillage. However, no significant differences exist when estimating the pedostructure parameters from measured and estimated soil physical properties. No significant differences were found for the macropore parameters. These results are unexpected, as it was believed that the no-tillage treatment would affect the macropore, and not the micropore, parameters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The results of a 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy study between 2.0 and 294 K of superconducting Ba(Fe0.961Rh0.039)2As2 are reported. The main component of the electric field gradient tensor at 294 K is shown to be positive and its increase with decreasing temperature is well described by a T3/2 power-law relation. The shape of the Mössbauer spectra below the Néel temperature TN=55.5(1) K is shown to result from the presence of doping-induced disorder rather than of incommensurate spin-density-wave order. The measured hyperfine magnetic field reaches its maximum value at the critical temperature Tc=14 K and then decreases by 4.2% upon further cooling to 2.0 K. This constitutes direct evidence of the coexistence of and competition between superconductivity and magnetic order. The extrapolated value of the Fe magnetic moment at 0 K is determined to be 0.35(1) μB. The Debye temperature of Ba(Fe0.961Rh0.039)2As2 is found to be 357(3) K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Switzerland has been officially free of bovine tuberculosis (OTF) since 1960. Since 1980 the control of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has been reduced to passive abattoir surveillance. Isolated cases of bTB, partly due to reactivation of human Mycobacterium bovis infections with subsequent transmission to cattle, have been noticed in the last years. In Europe, the overall prevalence of bTB is slightly increasing. Both OTF and non-OTF countries report increases in the proportion of bTB positive cattle herds. Current bTB eradication and control programs in Europe are facing a range of challenges. Whole herd depopulation is becoming a less attractive option for economic reasons and due to animal welfare concerns. Live animal trade is increasing both at national and international levels. Regarding these tendencies and taking into account the chronicity of bTB infection, pre-movement testing is becoming increasingly important as a central tool for eradication and for protection against re-introduction of bTB. Pre-movement testing, however specifically focuses on the infection status in individuals, requiring a high level of diagnostic accuracy to correctly diagnose infected animals. Current screening tests for bTB, however, have been designed to meet demands as herd tests. This illustrates that the modification of existing and/or the development of new diagnostics for bTB might be needed. The tuberculin skin test (TST), the primary screening test for bTB may in certain situations have low sensitivity. The interferon gamma (IFN-γ) assay is accepted to be more sensitive compared to TST. Reduced specificity, however, especially in areas of low bTB prevalence raises concerns. New antigen combinations including Rv3615c, OmpATb and others have been shown to complement ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in the whole blood IFN-γ assay and resulted in improved sensitivity (compared to ESAT-6 and CFP-10) and specificity (compared to tuberculins). Lesion detection after slaughter represents a cost-effective procedure for passive surveillance of bTB, especially in areas of low prevalence or in regions free of bTB; however, its sensitivity is very low. This illustrates that trade is linked with a certain risk to re-introduce bTB in OTF regions or countries and that there may be delays in detecting a re-introduction of bTB. In conclusion, regarding the fact that some parameters linked with bTB programs are changing, the development of improved diagnostic tests with a high reliability for use as individual animal tests will be important for future eradication of bTB, in line with international commitment to high standard animal health programs.

AB  - Abstract: Durable antibacterial Ag/polyacrylonitrile (Ag/PAN) hybrid nanofibers were prepared by atmospheric plasma treatment and electrospinning. Atmospheric helium plasma treatment was first used to reduce the AgNO3 precursor in pre-electrospinning solutions into metallic silver nanoparticles, followed by electrospinning into continuous and smooth nanofibers with Ag nanoparticles embedded in the matrix. SEM, TEM, and EDX spectra were used to study the structure and surface elemental composition of the nanofibers. Silver nanoparticles, with diameters ranging between 3 and 6nm, were found to be uniformly dispersed in the nanofiber matrix. The Ag/PAN nanofibers exhibited slow and long-lasting silver ion release, which provided robust antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive Bacillus cereus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli microorganisms.

AB  - Abstract: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is used worldwide to protect crops against bacterial diseases. The US Environmental Protection Agency approved its use in apple, pear, nectarine, and peach, and set residue tolerance at 350ngg−1. A europium-sensitised luminescence (ESL) method was developed for in-situ determination of OTC residue in these fruits. After extraction in Na2EDTA-NaCl-McIlvaine buffer at pH 4 and filtration, cleanup was performed using hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges. ESL was measured using a portable time-resolved fluorometer. The signal responded linearly over three orders of magnitude (10–10000ngg−1) with 17–50ngg−1 limits of quantitation and 2% averaged relative standard deviation. Recoveries were 84% and 82% at 100 and 350ngg−1, respectively. Inter-laboratory validation was performed by HPLC–MS/MS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In this study, orthogonal-function spectrophotometry (OFS) was used for the first time in the determination of amylose and amylopectin contents. A six-point quadratic orthogonal polynomial (QOP) was chosen for amylose determination at an interval of 8nm, and an inter-wavelength of 596nm. For amylopectin determination, a ten-point QOP was selected with an interval of 22nm and an inter-wavelength of 538nm. OFS was more precise, with a standard deviation (SD) of 0.4–0.7 for both amylose and amylopectin content analyses. Dual-wavelength colorimetry (DWC) showed a SD of 1.3–2.5 and 3.8–4.6 for amylose and amylopectin content analyses, respectively. OFS has an acceptable recovery ratio and hence has an advantage over DWC in determining amylose and amylopectin concentration in solution without prior separation. OFS is an alternative method for the analysis of amylose and amylopectin content. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Extensive and rapid losses of sea ice in the Arctic have raised conservation concerns for the Pacific walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus divergens), a large pinniped inhabiting arctic and subarctic continental shelf waters of the Chukchi and Bering seas. We developed a Bayesian network model to integrate potential effects of changing environmental conditions and anthropogenic stressors on the future status of the Pacific walrus population at four periods through the twenty-first century. The model framework allowed for inclusion of various sources and levels of knowledge, and representation of structural and parameter uncertainties. Walrus outcome probabilities through the century reflected a clear trend of worsening conditions for the subspecies. From the current observation period to the end of century, the greatest change in walrus outcome probabilities was a progressive decrease in the outcome state of robust and a concomitant increase in the outcome state of vulnerable. The probabilities of rare and extirpated states each progressively increased but remained <10% through the end of the century. The summed probabilities of vulnerable, rare, and extirpated (P(v,r,e)) increased from a current level of 10% in 2004 to 22% by 2050 and 40% by 2095. The degree of uncertainty in walrus outcomes increased monotonically over future periods. In the model, sea ice habitat (particularly for summer/fall) and harvest levels had the greatest influence on future population outcomes. Other potential stressors had much smaller influences on walrus outcomes, mostly because of uncertainty in their future states and our current poor understanding of their mechanistic influence on walrus abundance.

AB  - Abstract: Biomass pretreatment is essential to overcome recalcitrance of lignocellulose for ethanol production. In the present study we pretreated giant reed (Arundo donax L.), a perennial, rhizomatous lignocellulosic grass with dilute oxalic acid. The effects of temperature (170–190 °C), acid loading (2–10% w/w) and reaction time (15–40 min) were handled as a single parameter, combined severity. We explored the change in hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin composition following pretreatment and glucan conversion after enzymatic hydrolysis of the solid residue. Two different yeast strains, Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitis CBS 6054, which is a native xylose and cellobiose fermenter, and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis FPL-450, which does not ferment xylose or cellobiose, were used along with commercial cellulolytic enzymes in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). S. carlsbergensis attained a maximum ethanol concentration of 15.9 g/l after 48 h at pH 5.0, while S. stipitis, at the same condition, took 96 h to reach a similar ethanol value; increasing the pH to 6.0 reduced the S. stipitis lag phase and attained 18.0 g/l of ethanol within 72 h.

AB  - Abstract: Substantial evidence clearly demonstrates the deleterious effects of industrially-produced trans fatty acids (TFA); however, data are lacking from large, well controlled human feeding studies that directly compare the effects of industrially-produced and naturally-occurring TFA. The purpose of the current study is to determine whether consumption of TFA derived from different sources differentially affect risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study was a randomized, crossover design, controlled-feeding intervention designed to compare the effects of the following diet treatments on risk factors of CVD: low TFA diet (base diet, 34% energy from fat; 0.1% energy from TFA), base diet with vaccenic acid (3.0% energy), base diet with mixed isomers of TFA from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (3.0% energy), and base diet with cis-9, trans-11 CLA (1.0% energy). The added energy from TFA replaced energy from stearic acid. Participants were required to be between the ages of 25 and 65years, have a body mass index between 20 and 38kg/m2, total cholesterol <280mg/dl, fasting triacylglycerol <300mg/dl, fasting glucose <126mg/dl, and blood pressure <160/100mmHg (controlled with certain medications). Of the 116 participants who were randomized, a total of 95 completed the intervention. Results from this study will be important in determining whether ruminant TFA and industrially produced TFA differentially affect markers of cardiovascular risk, in the context of a highly controlled feeding study.

AB  - Micronutrient malnutrition, especially selenium (Se), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) deficiency, is a major global health problem. Previous attempts to prevent micronutrient malnutrition through food fortification, supplementation, and enrichment of staple crops has had limited success. Canadian grown lentils are rich in micronutrients Fe (73-90 mg kg), Zn (44-54 mg kg), Se (425-673 μg kg), and have very low concentrations of phytic acid (2.5-4.4 mg g). Our preliminary studies using a Caco-2 cell model show that the uptake of Fe from lentils is relatively greater than that of most other staple food crops. Moreover, preliminary results from our human nutrition study in Sri Lanka show an increased trend in blood Se concentration after lentil consumption. This article briefly overviews our previously published results as well as data from international lentil field trials, and describes the potential for biofortified lentil to provide a whole food solution to combat global human micronutrient malnutrition.

AB  - Abstract: Small, coded, pill sized tracers embedded in grains are proposed as a method to store a historical record of grains and retrieve coded information for grain traceability. This study aimed to develop and validate a statistical sampling procedure to securely collect sample sizes (kg) and number of tracers since the sampling accuracy is critical in the proposed traceability system for capturing information and data related to grain lots to trace the grain back through the route in a grain supply chain. The statistical results and observations showed similar concentrations and insignificant segregation of tracers in bin and truck operations. The number of tracers required for identification of grain sources fell within the confidence intervals and sample sizes (kg) estimated by statistical probability methods. Truck sampling appeared more feasible in collecting the secure number of tracers over bin sampling. The designed sampling process was empirically proven to be practically applicable and provide better scientific assurance of sampling accuracy, which may reduce economic risks and their consequent costs caused by unfavorable sampling in the propose traceability system.

AB  - We present critical fields, thermally activated flux flow (TAFF), and critical current density of tetragonal phase β-FeSe single crystals. The upper critical fields Hc2(T) for H ∥(101) and H ∥(101) are nearly isotropic and are likely governed by the Pauli limiting process. The large Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ ∼ 72.3(2) indicates that β-FeSe is a type-II superconductor with a smaller penetration depth than in Fe(Te, Se). The resistivity below Tc follows Arrhenius TAFF behavior. For both field directions below 30 kOe, single-vortex pinning is dominant, whereas collective creep becomes important above 30 kOe. The critical current density Jc from M-H loops for H ∥(101) is about five times larger than for H ∥(101), yet much smaller than in other iron-based superconductors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The electronic structure and magnetic properties of Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 have been studied from first principles electronic structure calculations. The total energy of the ferromagnetic (FM) orthorhombic [O(I)] Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 is lower than the total energy of the FM monoclinic (M) Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8, indicating that the FM O(I) is the ground state structure of Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8. Because of a strong 4f-5d exchange, the splitting of 5d bands of Tb atoms in the FM O(I) Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 is greater than that in the FM M Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8, giving rise to higher 5d moments in the former. The magnetostructural transition temperature, TM, and the isothermal magnetic entropy change, ΔSM, have been calculated by coupling the parameters obtained from the first principles to the magnetothermodynamic models. Both TM and ΔSM are in good agreement with reported experimental values. The magnetic entropy change increases with decreasing magnetostructural transition temperature, which indicates a pathway toward tuning the magnitude of the magnetocaloric effect.

AB  - Adsorption of the alkali-, group-III, and 3d-transition-metal adatoms (Na, K, Al, In, V, Fe, Co, and Ni) on graphene was studied systematically by first-principles calculations. The bonding character and electron transfer between the metal adatoms and graphene were analyzed using the recently developed quasi-atomic minimal basis set orbitals (QUAMBOs) approach. The calculations showed that the interaction between alkali-metal adatoms and graphene is ionic and has minimal effects on the lattice and electronic states of the graphene layer, in agreement with previous calculations. For group-III metal adatom adsorptions, mixed covalent and ionic bonding is demonstrated. In comparison, 3d-transition-metal adsorption on graphene exhibits strong covalent bonding with graphene. The majority of the contributions to the covalent bonds are from strong hybridization between the dx2-y2 and dyz orbitals of the 3d-transition-metal adatoms and pz orbitals of the carbon atoms. The strong covalent bonds cause large in-plane lattice distortions in the graphene layer. Charge redistributions upon adsorptions also induce significant electric dipole moments and affect the magnetic moments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Development of structural order in liquid aluminum upon rapid cooling is studied by ab initio molecular- dynamics simulations and the recently developed atomistic cluster alignment method. We show that there is a strong competition between icosahedral and fcc short-range orders (SROs) in the system. Although the liquid eventually crystallizes into fcc structure when T ⩽ 800 K, the icosahedral short-range order (ISRO) is found to be much stronger than the fcc SRO in the liquid. Doping of Sm in Al liquid can hinder the fcc crystallization and enhance the ISRO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The population structure of Toxoplasma gondii includes three highly prevalent clonal lineages referred to as types I, II, and III, which differ greatly in virulence in the mouse model. Previous studies have implicated a family of serine/threonine protein kinases found in rhoptries (ROPs) as important in mediating virulence differences between strain types. Here, we explored the genetic basis of differences in virulence between the highly virulent type I lineage and moderately virulent type II based on successful genetic cross between these lineages. Genome-wide association revealed that a single quantitative trait locus controls the dramatic difference in lethality between these strain types. Neither ROP16 nor ROP18, previously implicated in virulence of T. gondii, was found to contribute to differences between types I and II. Instead, the major virulence locus contained a tandem cluster of polymorphic alleles of ROP5, which showed similar protein expression between strains. ROP5 contains a conserved serine/threonine protein kinase domain that includes only part of the catalytic triad, and hence, all members are considered to be pseudokinases. Genetic disruption of the entire ROP5 locus in the type I lineage led to complete attenuation of acute virulence, and complementation with ROP5 restored lethality to WT levels. These findings reveal that a locus of polymorphic pseudokinases plays an important role in pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis in the mouse model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Tea (Camellia sinensis L.), an important drink and a natural medicine for thousands of years, contains many health beneficial compounds. Growing season, geographical region, and fermentation methods create many variations in tea compositions, which contribute to each tea’s uniqueness. In this study, a simple, rapid, and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method combined with diode array detector (DAD) and mass spectroscopic (MS) detection and chemometrics analysis was used to analyse three different types of teas (green pu-erh, green tea, white tea). Using the developed method, 68 compounds were identified and 54 were quantified based on retention times, UV spectra, and MS spectra by referencing to available standards and data in the literatures. The results showed the chemical differences between the tested teas. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify and distinguish between tea samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The Codex Alimentarius provides the food standards and guidelines recognized by the World Trade Organization as the primary authority for use in settlement of related trade disputes. Codex bases its decisions primarily on scientific principles and evidence, although other legitimate factors such as economic and societal values may be considered. Codex has two primary aims: to protect consumers’ health and assure fair practices in food trade. Codex documents may provide templates for individual nations but are not binding for domestic policies. Despite many advances over the last couple of decades, misunderstandings and controversies have interfered with important aspects of progress which Codex needs to accomplish, especially in the areas of claims of benefits related to food or nutrient consumption and the establishment of the safety of these items. Claims for health benefits should be based on the totality of available scientific evidence, including observational data collected from large populations as well as the results from randomized clinical trials. Safety should be evaluated by risk assessment on high quality experimental data, with anecdotal information having a lesser role. Regulatory policy would be improved if “history of safe use” were to be better defined and described. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Small, low molecular weight, non-enzymatic compounds have been linked to the early stages of brown rot decay as the enzymes involved with holocellulose degradation are too large to penetrate the S3 layer of intact wood cells. We investigated the most notable of these compounds, i.e. hydrogen peroxide, iron, and oxalic acid. The former two are involved in the Fenton reaction in which they react to form hydroxyl radicals, which cause an accelerated depolymerization in cotton cellulose. We found the same reaction to be caused by both iron Fe3+ and Fe2+. A 10 mM oxalic acid solution showed significant depolymerization effect on cotton cellulose. An oxalic acid/sodium oxalate buffered pH gradient had an inhibitory effect on the reduction of cellulose polymers at increased pH values. The organic iron chelator, EDTA, was found to promote depolymerization of cellulose in combination with Fenton’s reagents, but inhibited the effect of oxalic acid in the absence of iron and hydrogen peroxide. Manganese was tested to see if metals other than iron could generate a significant impact on the degree of polymerization (DP) in cotton cellulose. Depolymerizing properties comparable to iron were seen. The results confirm that low molecular weight metabolites are capable of depolymerizing cellulose and suggest an importance of these mechanisms during incipient decay by brown rot fungi.

AB  - The article presents a three-year follow-up study which examines the bone mass status of 40 adolescent runners and identifies the variables linked with changes in bone mass. The study used a questionnaire to collect and assess sports participation history, menstrual status, and training, as well as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan to determine bone mineral content (BMC), lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition of the participants. Results show that 29%-54% of the variability in the bone mass change was explained by variables related to developmental stage, menstrual function, and body mass change. It concludes that majority of the participants with low BMD had low BMD following the three-year follow-up.

AB  - Cereal fibre and whole-grain intakes have been consistently associated in the epidemiological literature with reduced mortality and risk of chronic disease including obesity, CVD and type 2 diabetes. The present review focuses on intervention trials with three primary aims: (1) understanding the mechanisms through which fibre consumption improves health (for example, examination of intermediate endpoints reflecting improved lipid, glucose and energy metabolism); (2) close evaluation of qualitative factors which modify fibre's effectiveness including physiochemical properties (for example, solubility, fermentability and viscosity), fibre extract molecular weight, fibre particle size and botanical structure of the fibre source grain; and (3) identification of areas in which additional research is needed. The first two aims typify the goals of nutrition research, in that improved understanding of the specific factors which determine fibre's health benefits has critical implications for dietary recommendations as well as improving understanding of physiological mechanisms. The third aim acknowledges the substantial gap between recommended and actual fibre intakes in many developed countries including the USA and the UK. In recognition of this deficit in total fibre intake, food manufacturing processes increasingly utilise fibre extracts and concentrates as food additives. However, whether fibre extracts provide similar health benefits to the fibre supplied in the constituents of whole grain is largely unexplored. The relative benefits of fibre extracts compared with whole-grain fibre sources therefore represent a critical area in which additional research is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Due to outbreaks of salmonellosis associated with whole raw almonds, an infrared (IR) pasteurization process was investigated for its efficacy in improving the safety of raw almonds. After almonds were heated to 100, 110 and 120°C with IR, they were cooled at ambient temperature to a holding temperature of 70, 80 or 90°C before being transferred to a custom-designed holding device for different time periods up to 60min. We observed that holding almonds at 90°C for 10–15min reduced the Pediococcus population size by more than 5-log and holding at 80°C for longer than 22min provided more than 4-log reduction, thus satisfying the targeted 4-log reduction required in the almond industry. The L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ color values of whole almonds were not affected significantly (P >0.05) by the IR process whereas the a ∗ and b ∗ color values of ground almonds changed significantly (P <0.05). The sensory panel did not detect any significant difference (P >0.01) in appearance, texture, flavor and overall quality of pasteurized almonds compared with untreated samples.

AB  - Quantifying actual and theoretical ethanol yields from biomass conversion processes such as simultanteous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) requires expensive, complex fermentation assays, and extensive compositional analyses of the biomass sample. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-destructive technology that can be used to obtain rapid, low-cost, high-throughput, and accurate estimates of agricultural product composition. In this study, broad-based NIRS calibrations were developed for switchgrass biomass that can be used to estimate over 20 components including cell wall and soluble sugars and also ethanol production and pentose sugars released as measured using a laboratory SSF procedure. With this information, an additional 13 complex feedstock traits can be determined including theoretical and actual ethanol yields from hexose fermentation. The NIRS calibrations were used to estimate feedstock composition and conversion information for biomass samples from a multi-year switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) biomass cultivar evaluation trial. There were significant differences among switchgrass strains for all biomass conversion and composition traits including actual ethanol yields, ETOHL (L Mg) and theoretical ethanol yields, ETOHTL (L Mg), based on cell wall and non-cell wall composition NIRS analyses. ETOHL means ranged from 98 to 115 L Mg while ETOHTL means ranged from 203 to 222 L Mg. Because of differences in both biomass yields and conversion efficiency, there were significant differences among strains for both actual (2,534-3,720 L ha) and theoretical (4,878-7,888 L ha) ethanol production per hectare. It should be feasible to improve ethanol yields per hectare by improving both biomass yield and conversion efficiency by using NIRS analyses to quantify differences among cultivars and management practices.

AB  - Rust fungi are some of the most devastating pathogens of crop plants. They are obligate biotrophs, which extract nutrients only from living plant tissues and cannot grow apart from their hosts. Their lifestyle has slowed the dissection of molecular mechanisms underlying host invasion and avoidance or suppression of plant innate immunity. We sequenced the 101-Mb genome of Melampsora landpopulina, the causal agent of poplar leaf rust, and the 89-Mb genome of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. the causal agent of wheat and barley stem rust. We then compared the 16,399 predicted proteins of M. lanici-populina with the 17,773 predicted proteins of P. graminis f. sp tritici. Genomic features related to their obligate biotrophic lifestyle include expanded lineage-specific gene families, a large repertoire of effector-like small secreted proteins, impaired nitrogen and sulfur assimilation pathways~ and expanded families of amino acid and oligopeptide membrane transporters. The dramatic up-regulation of transcripts coding for small secreted proteins, secreted hydrolytic enzymes, and transporters in planta suggests that they play a role in host infection and nutrient acquisition. Some of these genomic hallmarks are mirrored in the genomes of other microbial eukaryotes that have independently evolved to infect plants, indicating convergent adaptation to a biotrophic existence inside plant cells.

AB  - Abstract: For genetic analysis of the genus Allium, which is composed of diverse species, we acquired 50 transferable and polymorphic microsatellite markers from A. sativum and tested them for transferability in five Allium species. Among the 50 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, the dinucleotide motif was the most prevalent, with a ratio of 50% (25/50), and (GT)n was more frequent than (GA)n within the dinucleotide motif. The average number of amplified alleles ranged from 1.452 to 1.910 and the accessions of A. tuberosum had a maximum of 4.8 alleles per accession with the GB-AS-104 SSR marker. Whereas A. porrum belonging to the Allium section revealed 73.0% transferability, A. altaicum and A. fistulosum appertaining to different sections showed low transferability, with a ratio of 47.6% and 48.0%, respectively. The phylogenetic results for these SSR markers did not deviate from previous classifications of the genus Allium. As the rate of successful amplification of SSR markers generally correlates with genetic distance, these SSR markers are potentially useful in the analysis of genetic relationships between or within Allium species.

AB  - Plants are attacked by pathogens representing diverse taxonomic groups, such that genes providing multiple disease resistance (MDR) are expected to be under positive selection pressure. To address the hypothesis that naturally occurring allelic variation conditions MDR, we extended the framework of structured association mapping to allow for the analysis of correlated complex traits and the identification of pleiotropic genes. The multivariate analytical approach used here is directly applicable to any species and set of traits exhibiting correlation. From our analysis of a diverse panel of maize inbred lines, we discovered high positive genetic correlations between resistances to three globally threatening fungal diseases. The maize panel studied exhibits rapidly decaying linkage disequilibrium that generally occurs within 1 or 2 kb, which is less than the average length of a maize gene. The positive correlations therefore suggested that functional allelic variation at specific genes for MDR exists in maize. Using a multivariate test statistic, a glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene was found to be associated with modest levels of resistance to all three diseases. Resequencing analysis pinpointed the association to a histidine (basic amino acid) for aspartic acid (acidic amino acid) substitution in the encoded protein domain that defines GST substrate specificity and biochemical activity. The known functions of GSTs suggested that variability in detoxification pathways underlie natural variation in maize MDR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The severity of host response in some diseases differs between sexes, and this dimorphism has been attributed to the immunomodulating effects of reproductive steroid hormones. In females, susceptibility to disease stress has been associated with reproductive status and attributed to prevailing progesterone (P4) or estrogen concentrations during different estrous cycle phases. Our objective was to clarify and define the effect of P4 or 17β-estradiol (E2) on the acute proinflammatory component of the innate immune system by administering these hormones to steers and evaluating initial and tolerance-associated concentration patterns of circulating proinflammatory immune response mediators after two consecutive lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenges (LPS1 and LPS2, 6 d apart; 2.5 μg/kg BW, intravenously, Escherichia coli 055:B5). Plasma concentrations of the proinflammatory initiation cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitrate+nitrite [NOx, estimate of nitric oxide (NO) production], haptoglobin (HG; acute phase protein) and plasma xanthine oxidase activity (mediator of superoxide production) were measured. Crossbred steers (392 ± 7 kg) were fed a forage-concentrate diet (15% CP) to appetite and assigned to control (C; n = 7), P4 (n = 8), or E2 (n = 5) treatment. Jugular blood samples were obtained at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 24 h relative to each of the two LPS injections. For each proinflammatory biomarker, the area under the time by concentration curve (AUC) was used to evaluate and compare responses to the LPS challenge. Treatment with E2 disrupted LPS tolerance as observed in augmented plasma TNF-α (P < 0.01) and NOx (P < 0.01) responses to LPS2. Compared with C, P4 treatment decreased plasma NOx AUC after LPS2 (P < 0.05) and tended to reduce TNF-α AUC after LPS1 (P = 0.08). Plasma xanthine oxidase activity AUC was increased (P < 0.01) over C by E2 treatment after both LPS1 and LPS2. HG response to LPS1 within 24 h was not affected by any treatment. However, 6 d after LPS1 plasma HG concentration remained higher (P < 0.01) in steers treated with E2 than with C or P4. Results indicate that in cattle, P4 and E2, respectively, attenuate or amplify the response to LPS challenge at several points critical to the regulation of the progression of the proinflammatory cascade.

AB  - The cotton fiber is a model system to study cell wall biosynthesis because the fiber cell elongates (∼3 cm in ∼20 days) without mitosis. In this study, developing cotton ovules, examined from 1 day before anthesis (DBA) to 2 days post-anthesis (DPA), that would be difficult to investigate via classical carbohydrate biochemistry were probed using a battery of antibodies that recognize a large number of different wall components. In addition, ovules from these same stages were investigated in three fiberless lines. Most antibodies reacted with at least some component of the ovule, and several of the antibodies reacted specifically with the epidermal layer of cells that may give clues as to the nature of the development of the fibers and the neighboring, nonfiber atrichoblasts. Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) labeled the epidermal layers more strongly than other ovular tissue, even at 1 DBA. One of the AGP antibodies, CCRC-M7, which recognizes a 1➔6 galactan epitope of AGPs, is lost from the fiber cells by 2 DPA, although labeling in the atrichoblasts remained strong. In contrast, LM5 that recognizes a 1➔4 galactan RGI side chain is unreactive with sections until the fibers are produced and only the fibers are reactive. Dramatic changes also occur in the homogalacturonans (HGs). JIM5, which recognizes highly de-esterified HGs, only weakly labels epidermal cells of 1 DBA and 0 DPA ovules, but labeling increases in fibers cells, where a pectinaceous sheath is produced around the fiber cell and stronger reaction in the internal and external walls of the atrichoblast. In contrast, JIM7-reactive, highly esterifed HGs are present at high levels in the epidermal cells throughout development. Fiberless lines displayed similar patterns of labeling to the fibered lines, except that all of the cells had the labeling pattern of atrichoblasts. That is, CCRC-M7 labeled all cells of the fiberless lines, and LM5 labeled no cells at 2 DPA. These data indicate that a number of polysaccharides are unique in quantity or presence in the epidermal cell layers, and some of these might be critical participants in the early stages of initiation and elongation of cotton fibers.

AB  - Abstract: The dispersion and location of Pd in alumina-supported sorbents prepared by different methods was found to influence the performance of the sorbents in the removal of mercury, arsine, and hydrogen selenide from a simulated fuel gas. When Pd is well dispersed in the pores of the support, contact interaction with the support is maximized, Pd is less susceptible to poisoning by sulfur, and the sorbent has better long-term activity for adsorption of arsine and hydrogen selenide, but poorer adsorption capacity for Hg. As the contact interaction between Pd and the support is lessened the Pd becomes more susceptible to poisoning by sulfur, resulting in higher capacity for Hg, but poorer long-term performance for adsorption of arsenic and selenium.

AB  - Objective: To estimate the costs of satisfying MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines, with a focus on whether low-income households can bear these costs. Design: Descriptive analysis of the 2008 National Consumer Panel with information on the food purchases of 64,440 households across the contiguous United States was used to analyze the cost of fruits and vegetables. Costs per MyPyramid cup-equivalents were calculated by accounting for cooking yields and the portion of a food item's retail weight that is inedible. Variables Measured: Costs per cup-equivalent for less expensive fruits and vegetables by MyPyramid subgroup including whole and cut fruit, fruit juice, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, starchy vegetables, other vegetables, and legumes. Results: In 2008, a variety of fruits and vegetables was available for an average cost of SO.40 to SO.50 per cup-equivalent. MyPyramid fruit and vegetable recommendations could be satisfied at this cost level. Conclusions and Implications: Low-income Americans facing national average food prices can satisfy MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines with a budget equal to the Thrifty Food Plan allocation to fruits and vegetables. However, many low-income households spend too much money on food that is low in fruit and vegetable content. Some money should be reallocated to fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A group of low molecular-weight ColE1-like plasmids carrying the aph sequence type aph(ii) from three different Salmonella serovars were sequenced. These plasmids carry two or more copies of IS903 elements, with up to 21bp sequence differences to one another, two of which flank the aph gene. This group of plasmids did not appear to carry any known mobilization genes and instead carry three open reading frames encoding hypothetical proteins of unknown function possibly organized in an operon. The plasmid replication region (RNA I/II –rom) of this plasmid group showed extensive homology to that of pKPN2 plasmid of Klebsiella pneumoniae and pCol-let plasmid of Escherichia coli. Three of the four plasmids had identical sequences, and the fourth had an extra copy of IS903 with target duplication, suggesting a recent divergence in the different Salmonella serovars from a common ancestor.

AB  - Quantifying long-term effects of soil erosion on plant production and soil quality can aid in restoring degraded soils. The objectives of this study were to determine the long-term effects of topsoil removal on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield and soil productivity factors. In 1982, the surface 0, 6, 12, and 18 cm of topsoil was mechanically removed from a Williams loam (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Argiustoll) and subsequently cropped. Soil samples were collected in 1998. There was no difference in soil organic matter (SOM), particulate organic matter (POM), mineralizable N, or water stable soil aggregates (WSA) in the surface 15 cm. Though not significant, there was an average increase of 1.2 g SOM kg-1 soil from the surface 15 cm since 1982, but fungal and bacterial biomass was reduced. The SOM and POM increased in the surface 15 cm of soil where grass was planted in strips between plots. Topsoil removal did not affect soil water at planting nor wheat yields from 1998-2001. The use of commercial fertilizer maintained crop yields, but SOM remained unchanged indicating that, restoring erosion damage is unlikely with a conventionally tilled wheat-fallow rotation in semi-arid regions.

AB  - Golovinomyces cichoracearum and Podosphaera xanthii (family Erysiphaceae) are the most important species causing cucurbit powdery mildew (CPM), a serious disease of field and greenhouse cucurbits. Both species are highly variable in their pathogenicity and virulence, as indicated by the existence of large number of different pathotypes and races. Various independent systems of CPM pathotype and race determinations and denominations are used worldwide. CPM pathotype identification is based on intergeneric and interspecific differences in host-CPM interactions. The most commonly used set of CPM pathotype differentials includes one genotype from four species representing three agriculturally important cucurbit genera plus two genotypes from a fifth species, melon Cucumis melo L. CPM races are characterized by specialization on different cultivars or lines of one host species and have, to date, been differentiated only on melon ( C. melo L.). The most frequently used set of melon differentials includes 11 genotypes that can differentiate CPM races originating from melon and other cucurbits, e.g., cucumber, Cucurbita spp., and watermelon. In this paper, we critically review the current state, gaps, and perspectives in our understanding of pathogenicity variation in these two CPM pathogens at the pathotype and race levels.

AB  - Quantitative resistance to plant pathogens, controlled by multiple loci of small effect, is important for food production, food security, and food safety but is poorly understood. To gain insights into the genetic architecture of quantitative resistance in maize, we evaluated a 5,000-inbred-line nested association mapping population for resistance to northern leaf blight, a maize disease of global economic importance. Twenty-nine quantitative trait loci were identified, and most had multiple alleles. The large variation in resistance phenotypes could be attributed to the accumulation of numerous loci of small additive effects. Genome-wide nested association mapping, using 1.6 million SNPs, identified multiple candidate genes related to plant defense, including receptor-like kinase genes similar to those involved in basal defense. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that quantitative disease resistance in plants is conditioned by a range of mechanisms and could have considerable mechanistic overlap with basal resistance.

AB  - Abstract: The effects of carbonization process and carbon nanofiber/nanotube additives on the cycling stability of silicon–carbon composite anodes were investigated by monitoring the impedance evolution during charge/discharge cycles with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Three types of Si–C anodes were investigated: the first type consisted of Si nanoparticles incorporated into a network of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), with annealed polymer binder. The second type of Si–C anodes was prepared by further heat treatment of the first Si–C anodes to carbonize the polymer binder. The third Si–C anode was as same as the second one except no CNFs and MWNTs being added. Impedance analysis revealed that the carbonization process stabilized the Si–C anode structure and decreased the charge transfer resistance, thus improving the cycling stability. On the other hand, although the MWNTs/CNFs additives could enhance the electronic conductivity of the Si–C anodes, the induced inhomogeneous structure decreased the integrity of the electrode, resulting in a poor long term cycling stability.

AB  - Abstract: Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is formed in glyphosate-treated glyphosate-resistant (GR) and glyphosate-sensitive (GS) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants and is known to cause yellowing in soybean. Although, AMPA is less phytotoxic than glyphosate, its mode of action is different from that of glyphosate and is still unknown. Greenhouse studies were conducted at Stoneville, MS to determine the effects of AMPA on plant growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, nodulation, nitrogenase activity, nitrate reductase activity, and shoot nitrogen content in GR and GS soybeans. AMPA was applied to one- to two-trifoliolate leaf stage soybeans at 0.1 and 1.0kgha−1, representing a scenario of 10% and 100% degradation of glyphosate (1.0kgaeha−1 use rate) to AMPA, respectively. Overall, AMPA effects were more pronounced at 1.0kgha−1 than at 0.1kgha−1 rate. Visual plant injury (18–27%) was observed on young leaves within 3d after treatment (DAT) with AMPA at the higher rate regardless of soybean type. AMPA injury peaked to 46–49% at 14 DAT and decreased to 17–18% by 28 DAT, in both soybean types. AMPA reduced the chlorophyll content by 37%, 48%, 66%, and 23% in GR soybean, and 17%, 48%, 57%, and 22% in GS soybean at 3, 7, 14, and 28 DAT, respectively. AMPA reduced the photosynthesis rate by 65%, 85%, and 77% in GR soybean and 59%, 88%, and 69% in GS soybean at 3, 7, and 14 DAT, respectively, compared to non-treated plants. Similarly, AMPA reduced stomatal conductance to water vapor and transpiration rates at 3, 7, and 14 DAT compared to non-treated plants in both soybean types. Photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate recovered to the levels of non-treated plants by 28 DAT. Plant height and shoot dry weight at 28 DAT; nodulation, nitrogenase activity at 10 DAT, and nitrate reductase activity at 3 and 14 DAT were unaffected by AMPA. AMPA reduced root respiration and shoot nitrogen content at 10 DAT. These results suggest that a foliar application of AMPA could indirectly reduce photosynthesis through decreased chlorophyll content in GR and GS soybean up to 14 DAT, but affected plants can recover to normal growth by 28 DAT.

AB  - We derive a cluster mean-field theory for an Ising Hamiltonian using a cluster-lattice Fourier transform with a cluster of size Nc and a coarse-grained (CG) lattice into cells of size Ncell. We explore forms with Ncell ⩾ Nc, including a non-CG (NCG) version with Ncell → ∞. For Nc=Ncell, the set of static, self-consistent equations relating cluster and CG lattice correlations is analogous to that in dynamical cluster approximation and cellular dynamical mean-field theory used in correlated electron physics. A variational Nc-site cluster grand potential based on Nc=Ncell CG lattice maintains thermodynamic consistency and improves predictions, recovering Monte Carlo and series expansion results upon finite-size scaling; notably, the Nc=1 CG results already predict well the first- and second-order phase boundary topology and transition temperatures for frustrated lattices. The NCG version is significantly faster computationally than the CG case and more accurate at fixed Nc for ferromagnetism, which is potentially useful for cluster expansion and quantum cluster applications.

AB  - Flies are one of four superradiations of insects (along with beetles, wasps, and moths) that account for the majority of animal life on Earth. Diptera includes species known for their ubiquity (Musca domestica house fly), their role as pests (Anopheles gambiae malaria mosquito), and their value' as model organisms across the biological sciences (Drosophila melanogaster). A resolved phylogeny for flies provides a framework for genomic, developmental, and evolutionary studies by facilitating comparisons across model organisms, yet recent research has suggested that fly relationships have been obscured by multiple episodes of rapid diversification. We provide a phylogenomic estimate of fly relationships based on molecules and morphology from 149 of 157 families, including 30 kb from 14 nuclear loci and complete mitochondrial genomes combined with 371 morphological characters. Multiple analyses show support for traditional groups (Brachycera, Cyclorrhapha, and Schizophora) and corroborate contentious findings, such as the anomalous Deuterophlebiidae as the sister group to all remaining Diptera. Our findings reveal that the closest relatives of the Drosophilidae are highly modified parasites (including the wingless Braulidae) of bees and other insects. Furthermore, we use micro-RNA5 to resolve a node with implications for the evolution of embryonic development in Diptera. We demonstrate that flies experienced three episodes of rapid radiation-lower Diptera (220 Ma), lower Brachycera (180 Ma), and Schizophora (65 Ma)-and a number of life history transitions to hematophagy, phytophagy, and parasitism in the history of fly evolution over 260 million y.

By calculating global sums with enhanced precision techniques based on Kahan or Knuth summations, the consistency of the numerical results can be greatly improved with minimal memory and computational cost. This study assesses the value of the enhanced numerical consistency in the context of general finite difference or finite volume calculations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Considerable epidemiologic evidence links consuming lower glycemic index (GI) diets with good health, particularly upon aging. The GI is a kinetic parameter that reflects the ability of carbohydrate (CHO) contained in consumed foods to raise blood glucose in vivo. Newer nutritional, clinical, and experimental data link intake of lower dietary GI foods to favorable outcomes of chronic diseases, and compel further examination of the record. Based upon the new information there are two specific questions: 1) should the GI concept be promoted as a way to prolong health, and 2) should food labels contain GI information? Further, what are the remaining concerns about methodological issues and consistency of epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets? These issues are addressed in this review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The current study focuses on the analysis of sessile-drop interfacial reactions between two synthetic slags (based on average ash chemistries of coal and petcoke feedstock) and two refractory materials (90wt% Cr2O3–10wt% Al2O3 and 100wt% Al2O3), using a Confocal Scanning Laser Microscope (CSLM). Ground slag samples (less than 325 mesh) were placed at specific microstructure locations on refractory substrates and heated to 1500°C in an atmosphere of CO/CO2 gas mixture (volume ratio=1.8), using a gold-image heating chamber. Cross-sections of the slag/refractory interface indicated unique slag penetration into preferred areas of the refractory and grain dissolution into the slag which promoted spalling of the refractory. Initially, the slag attacked both grain boundaries and fine microstructure areas, freeing alumina grains into the slag. The formation of VOx-based crystalline material in the petcoke slag was found to alter the liquid composition. Chemical spalling of Cr-containing crystal layer also facilitated degradation of the refractory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Although hydrogen is widely recognized as a promising energy carrier for the transportation sector, widespread adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies depends critically on the ability to store hydrogen at adequate densities, as well as release hydrogen at sufficient rates (among other requirements) to meet PEM fuel cell power plant requirements. At present, no known material or storage means exists that satisfies all requirements to enable high-volume automotive application, however materials do exist that would satisfy requirements for near-term non-vehicular PEM fuel cell applications. The US DOE recognizes that non-vehicular early market applications are the most likely paths for the successful demonstration and application of material-based hydrogen storage technology. In this review, we provide a practical overview of the most probable near-term PEM fuel cell markets as identified through market reviews with an emphasis on the attributes of the relevant materials-based hydrogen storage for those near-term markets.

AB  - The friction between two model atomic force microscope tips and two hydrocarbon monolayers has been examined using molecular dynamics simulations. An amorphous hydrocarbon tip and a flat diamond tip were both employed. One monolayer was composed of linear alkane chains and the other was composed of chains that were polymerized in a regular pattern near the tip-monolayer interface. When friction is decomposed into the forces on individual chains pushing and resisting sliding, the monolayer composed of linear alkane chains exhibited strong pushing forces immediately after clearing tip features at the sliding interface. When this monolayer is paired with the amorphous tip, the strong pushing forces resulted in low friction compared to a monolayer composed of polymerized chains. When the diamond tip is employed, commensurate meshing with the chains of the linear-alkane monolayer resulted in chains resisting tip motion for longer durations. The consequence of this is higher friction compared to the polymerized monolayer, despite the linear-alkane monolayer's more symmetric chain response at resisting-to-pushing transitions.

AB  - Abstract: A high-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI–TOF MS) assay is described for determination of chitolytic enzyme activity. The assay uses unmodified chitin oligosaccharide substrates and is readily achievable on a microliter scale (2μl of total volume containing 2μg of substrate and 1ng of protein). The speed and sensitivity of the assay make it potentially well suited for the high-throughput screening of chitinase inhibitors. The mass spectrum is acquired in approximately 2min, as opposed to typically 30–40min for a single run with a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based assay. By using the multiple-place MALDI MS targets, we estimate that 100 assays could be run in approximately 2–3h without needing to remove the target from the instrument. In addition, because the substrate and product chitomers are visualized simultaneously in the TOF spectrum, this gives immediate information about the cleavage site and mechanism of the enzyme under study. The assay was used to monitor the purification and transgenic expression of plant class IV chitinases. By performing the assay with chitomer substrates and C-glycoside chitomer analogs, the enzyme mechanism of the class IV chitinases is described for the first time. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Hydrogen permeates rapidly through pure Pd membranes, but H2S, a common minor component in hydrogen-containing streams, produces a Pd4S film on the Pd surface that severely retards hydrogen permeation. Hydrogen still permeates through the bi-layered Pd4S/Pd structure, indicating that the Pd4S surface is active for H2 dissociation; the low hydrogen permeability of the Pd4S film is responsible for the decreased rate of hydrogen transport. In this work, the hydrogen permeability of Pd4S was determined experimentally in the 623-773K temperature range. Bi-layered Pd4S/Pd foils were produced by exposing pure Pd foils to H2S. H2 fluxes through the bi-layered Pd4S/Pd foils were measured during exposure to both pure H2 and a 1000ppm H2S in H2 gas mixture. Our results show that H2S slows hydrogen permeation through Pd mainly by producing a Pd4S film on the Pd surface that is roughly an order-of-magnitude less permeable to hydrogen (k Pd4S =10−7.5 exp(−0.22eV/k  B  T)molH2/m/s/Pa1/2) than pure Pd. The presence of H2S in the gas stream results in greater inhibition of hydrogen transport than can be explained by the very low permeability of Pd4S. H2S may block H2 dissociation sites at the Pd4S surface. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The effect of high temperature and oxidative stress on the cell viability of the yeast antagonist, Metschnikowia fructicola was determined. A mild heat shock (HS) pretreatment (30 min at 40 °C) improved the tolerance of M. fructicola to subsequent high temperature (45 °C, 20-30 min) and oxidative stress (0.4 mol L hydrogen peroxide, 20-60 min). HS-treated yeast cells showed less accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) than nontreated cells in response to both stresses. Additionally, HS-treated yeast exhibited significantly greater ( P<0.0001) biocontrol activity against Penicillium expansum and a significantly faster ( P<0.0001) growth rate in wounds of apple fruits stored at 25 °C compared with the performance of untreated yeast cells. Transcription of a trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene ( TPS1) was upregulated in response to HS and trehalose content also increased. Results indicate that the higher levels of trehalose induced by the HS may contribute to an improvement in ROS scavenging, stress tolerance, population growth in apple wounds and biocontrol activity of M. fructicola.

AB  - Abstract:  Soil samples were randomly collected from 422 vegetable gardens in a study area centered in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, and having a radius of 48.28 km (30 miles). The levels of lead, four other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc, and pH were measured for each location. The application of multi-response permutation procedures, which are compatible with mapping techniques, reveals that lead as well as cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc is concentrated and ubiquitous within the soils of the inner-city area of Metropolitan Baltimore. The probability values that the concentration of metals occurred by chance alone vary from about 10[sup -15] to 10[sup -21] depending on the metal considered. Our findings pose environmental and public health issues, especially to children living within the inner-city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We have investigated the photosystem-II organization in differentiating-bundle-sheath cells of the three malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate decarboxylating) (NADP+)-type C4 species maize, Sorghum and Pennisetum. Using a set of nine different antisera raised against individual subunits of photosystem-II, we demonstrate that photosystem-II components constitute a substantial part of the thylakoid membranes of young bundle-sheath chloroplasts. The abundance of subunits of the photosystem-II core, i.e. the 47-and 43-kDa chlorophyll-a-binding proteins, polypeptides D1 and D2, cytochrome b559, and the 34-kDa polypeptide, varies with the developmental state of the plant. However, the levels of the 23-kDa, 16-kDa and 10-kDa extrinsic polypeptides of the water-oxidation complex arc drastically reduced in bundle-sheath chloroplasts of all three species analyzed, regardless of their state of differentiation. The reduction in protein abundance is also reflected at the transcript level: only traces of the nuclear-encoded mRNAs are found in differentiating bundle-sheath cells of Sorghum, suggesting that the transcription of these genes has been switched off. Our data are compatible with the idea that the wateroxidation complex is a prime site for initiating or maintaining the process leading to photosystem-II depletion during differentiation of bundle-sheath cells.

AB  - Determinants of foreign exploration and development spending by US oil companies are examined with multiple regression analysis. Since major UA oil companies earn higher profits abroad, I test the role of profit rate surrogates and cash flow in a petroleum investment model. A high income tax rate is shown to discourage foreign and investment, a finding that should be recognized by foreign governments. Institutional factors also appear to limit the flow of investment funds out of the United States, despite attractive foreign profit rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aqueous suspensions of conidia of 285 wild-type strains and mutants of Glioctadium virens. Trichoderma hamatum, T. harzianum and T. viride were tested against Sclerotium rolfsii in the greenhouse. Ten strains of G. ufrens and four strains of T. harzianum suppressed damping-off of snapbean by 30–50% and blight by 36–74%. All strains of T. hamatum and T. viride tested as conidia were ineffective. In general, strains of G. virens were more effective in suppressing disease in the greenhouse than strains of T. harzianum. Several strains of G. virens and T. harzianum used alone were equal to or more effective than double and triple mixtures of such strains in disease suppression. Of four formulations of G. virens tested, germlings, alginate-bran-fermenter biomass pellets, and Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures reduced disease considerably and all three formulations were more effective than conidia in aqueous suspension. Strain Gl-3 of G. virens added to soil as Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures in amounts to provide colony- forming units ranging from 1·5 × 103 to 1·2 x 104 per g soil provided statistically significant protection of the host m all concentrations. The extent of biological control with strains GI-3 and GI-21 of G. virens also depended on the strain of the pathogen used. Both strains effectively suppressed disease caused by strain Sr-1 (small sclerotia) of S. rolfsii. They were partially effective against strain Sr-116 (medium size sclerotia) and ineffective against strain Sr-3 (large sclerotia). Although strains GI-3 and Cd-21 colonized the sclerotia of all three strains of S. rolfsii soil effectively, they only reduced germinability of sclerotia of strain Sr-l. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alginate pellets were prepared from wet fermentor biomass of 11 isolates of Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium virens, with wheat bran as a food base carrier. Pellets with eight of the isolates reduced survival (34-78%) of Rhizoctonia solani in infested beet seed in soil. Pellets containing a T. harzianum isolate (Th-58) and a T. hamatum isolate (TRI-4) were the most effective. All isolates significantly reduced growth of the pathogen from infested beet seed into natural soil. Populations of isolates proliferated in soil to 106-1011 colony-forming units/g (cfu) from propagules within the pellets. Pellets with TRI-4 reduced pathogen survival and growth (>70%) in six different soils and were effective against six R. solani isolates in a natural loamy sand. Survival of R, solani in infested beet seed was not reduced when TRI-4 pellets were added to soil 1-6 weeks before the pathogen; however, saprophytic growth was prevented. Small amounts of biomass (3-0-7-5 g wet weight) in pellets were as effective as a large amount (30-0 g) in suppressing the pathogen. The storage of pellets for more than 6 weeks at 5 or 25°C reduced their effectiveness against R. solani. Pellets prepared with four and three of the 11 isolates prevented damping-off of cotton and sugar beet in the greenhouse, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pelletized formulations of wheat bran or kaolin clay in an alginate gel containing conidia, chlamydospores, or fermentor biomas (FB) of several isolates of the biocontrol fungi Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium virens were prepared. The ability of fungal propagules within the pellets to proliferate in soil was determined. Higher population densities were obtained when alginate pellets added to soil contained chlamydospores rather than condia, and bran rather than kaolin as the bulking agent. The active ingredient in pellets prepared from FB was approximately 5% biomass by weight and contained many chlamydospores. Colony-forming units (cfu) ranged from 106 to 101010/g of soil after soil amendment with FB pellets of 12 Trichoderma and G. virens isolates. Population densities were high during the first 3 weeks of incubation and declined only gradually during 9 weeks. Propagules in FB pellets were more viable at 56 than at 25°C. Viability at 25°C remained high (>70%) after 1 week, but declined to less than 10% after 24 weeks. Despite reduction in propagule viability in stored pellets, numbers of cfu formed after adding these pellets to soil were comparable with those formed from freshly prepared pellets.

AB  - The article presents a study which examines the dynamics of Cajal bodies (CBs) during pollen development. It notes that a coilin-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) reporter under the control of the Arabidopsis coilin promoter was expressed and the number and size of CBs in MP and pollen tube were quantified in the study. It states that the study found that CBs respond during pollen development and there is less need for CBs in the vegetative cell after germination.

AB  - Background Provision of fortified juices may provide a convenient method to maintain and increase blood fat-soluble vitamins. Objective To determine whether children consuming orange juice fortified with calcium and combinations of vitamins D, E, and A could increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], α-tocopherol, and retinol levels. Design A 12-week randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Participants/setting One hundred eighty participants (aged 8.04±1.42 years) were recruited at Tufts (n=70) and Boston University (n=110) during 2005-2006. Of those recruited, 176 children were randomized into three groups: CaD (700 mg calcium+200 IU vitamin D), CaDEA (700 mg calcium+200 III vitamin D+12 IU vitamin E+2,000 IU vitamin A as beta carotene), or Ca (700 mg calcium). Children consumed two 240-mL glasses of CaD, CaDEA, or Ca fortified orange juice daily for 12 weeks. Main outcome measures Serum 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, and retinol concentrations. Statistical analyses Changes in 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were examined. Covariates included sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and baseline 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, or parathyroid hormone levels. Multivariate models and repeated measures analysis of variance tested for group differences with pre-post measures (n=141). Results Baseline 25(OH)D was 68.4±27.7 nmol/L (27.4±11.10 ng/mL)), with 21.7% of participants having inadequate 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/L [20.03 ng/mL]). The CaD group's 25(OH)D increase was greater than that of the Ca group (12.7 nmol/L [5.09 ng/mL], 95% CI 1.3 to 24.1; P=0.029). The CaDEA group's increase in a-tocopherol concentration was greater than that in the Ca or CaD groups (3.79 µmol/L [0.16 µg/mL], 95% CI 2.5 to 5.1 and 3.09 (µmol/L [0.13 µg/mL], 95% C -1.8 to 4.3), respectively (P<0.0001). Retinol levels did not change, and body weight remained as expected for growth. Conclusions Daily consumption of orange juice providing 200 IU vitamin D and 12 IU vitamin E increased 25(OH)D and a-tocopherol concentrations in young children within 12 weeks.

AB  - Objectives. To determine if blight remediation of abandoned buildings and vacant lots can be a cost-beneficial solution to firearm violence in US cities. Methods. We performed quasi-experimental analyses of the impacts and economic returns on investment of urban blight remediation programs involving 5112 abandoned buildings and vacant lots on the occurrence of firearm and nonfirearm violence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from1999 to2013.We adjusted before-after percent changes and returns on investment in treated versus control groups for sociodemographic factors. Results. Abandoned building remediation significantly reduced firearm violence -39% (95% confidence interval [CI] = -28%, -50%; P < .05) as did vacant lot remediation (-4.6%; 95% CI = -4.2%, -5.0%; P < .001). Neither program significantly affected nonfirearm violence. Respectively, taxpayer and societal returns on investment for the prevention of firearm violence were $5 and $79 for every dollar spent on abandoned building remediation and $26 and $333 for every dollar spent on vacant lot remediation. Conclusions. Abandoned buildings and vacant lots are blighted structures seen daily by urban residents that may create physical opportunities for violence by sheltering illegal activity and illegal firearms. Urban blight remediation programs can be cost-beneficial strategies that significantly and sustainably reduce firearm violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We identified four diagnostic microsatellite loci that distinguish spotted owls ( Strix occidentalis), barred owls ( Strix varia), F1 hybrids and backcrosses. Thirty-four out of 52 loci tested (65.4%) successfully amplified, and four of these loci (11.8%) had allele sizes that did not overlap between spotted and barred owls. The probability of correctly identifying a backcross with these four loci is 0.875. Genotyping potential hybrid owls with these markers revealed that field identifications were often wrong. Given the difficulty of identifying hybrids in the field, these markers will be useful for hybrid identification, law enforcement and spotted owl conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Twenty-four dinucleotide simple sequence repeat markers were developed for the phytopathogenic fungus, Puccinia graminis. The identified loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to 11 alleles. Observed and expected levels of heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.960 and from 0.113 to 0.846, respectively. Fourteen of the loci deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Null alleles were observed for 10 of the 24 loci with a frequency of 4-16%. A preliminary screen of other Puccinia cereal rust fungi ( P. coronata, P. striiformis and P. triticina) indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. graminis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article reports on a study of blood samples and serum of black bears in Oregon, USA using serology and muscle digestion in testing for Trichinella. Human consumption of raw or poorly cooked bear meat has reportedly been associated with exposure to the nematode parasite Trichinella spiralis. Results indicate that Oregon black bears are not part of a sylvatic cycle for Trichinella, and exposure risk from eating their meat appears to be low.

N2  - The primary purpose of the paper is to construct a combined index of quality-of-life and economic wellbeing based on national data from the 2004 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Additional objective is to assess the role of increased utilization of various types of Federal farm programs in the context of the life-cycle on socioeconomic wellbeing. A central finding, which has implication for rural development and the continuity of the family farm, shows a positive relationship between increased intensity of farm program participation and higher likelihoods of socioeconomic wellbeing, particularly among elderly farmers.

T1  - The Immuno-Regulatory Impact of Orally-Administered Hypericum perforatum Extract on Balb/C Mice Inoculated with H1n1 Influenza A Virus.

AB  - Hypericum perforatum (H. perforatum) ethanol extract has been found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines in cultured macrophages. Therefore, it may be able to protect the host from excessive inflammation during viral infection. In the current study, the immune-regulatory effect of H. perforatum extract was evaluated in A549 lung epithelial cells and BALB/c mice exposed to Influenza A/PR/8/34 H1N1 virus. In A549 cells, the extract (30 µg/mL) significantly inhibited influenza virus induced monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 and interferon-γ induced protein 10 kD (IP-10), but dramatically increased interleukin-6 (IL-6). In mice inoculated intranasally with 107.9 EID50 of Influenza A/PR/8/34 H1N1 (high dose), daily oral treatment of H. perforatum extract at a rate of 110 mg/kg of body weight increased lung viral titer, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine levels, and the infiltration of pro-inflammatory cells in the lung 5 days post-inoculation, as compared to ethanol vehicle treated mice. Transcription of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) was increased by H. perforatum extract both in A549 cells and BALB/c mice, which could have interrupted anti-viral immune response and thus led to the inefficient viral clearance and increased lung inflammation. H. perforatum treatment resulted in minor reduction in viral titer without affecting body weight when mice were inoculated with a lower dose (~105.0 EID50) and H. perforatum was applied in the later phase of infection. Mice challenged intranasally with high dose of influenza virus (107.9 EID50) suffered from a higher mortality rate when dosed with H. perforatum extract. In conclusion, the current study showed that SOCS3 elevation by H. perforatum may cause impaired immune defense against influenza virus infection and lead to higher mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Superior Energy Performancecm (SEP) is a forthcoming voluntary certification program that will move industrial and commercial facilities onto a path of continual energy performance improvement while maintaining competitiveness. This article describes the certification program for U.S. industry; pilot testing and results to-date; and benefits to collaboration partners that deliver the program, such as state programs, utilities, and supply chain partners. SEP certification requires facilities to conform to all requirements of ISO 50001, the first global energy management system standard, and to demonstrate energy performance improvement as specified in MSE 50021, a forthcoming standard. Facilities must demonstrate improved energy performance using the program's transparent, globally accepted, verification system. SEP is envisioned to foster market demand for verified, sustained improvements in energy performance and to increase adoption of the ISO 50001 standard. The standard, developed with input from representatives from more than 50 countries, is broadly applicable to various sectors of national economies and could influence as much as 60% of the world's energy demand [1]. At the international level, the Global Superior Energy Performance partnership is working to harmonize a range of nationally accredited energy performance certification programs that reward strategic energy management and third-party-verified energy reductions.

AB  - Global dissemination of imipenem-resistant (IR) clones of Acinetobacter baumannii–A. calcoaceticus complex (ABC) have been frequently reported but the molecular epidemiological features of IR-ABC in military treatment facilities (MTFs) have not been described. We characterized 46 IR-ABC strains from a dataset of 298 ABC isolates collected from US service members hospitalized in different US MTFs domestically and overseas during 2003–2008. All IR strains carried the blaOXA-51 gene and 40 also carried blaOXA-23 on plasmids and/or chromosome; one carried blaOXA-58 and four contained ISAbal located upstream of blaOXA-51. Strains tended to cluster by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles in time and location. Strains from two major clusters were identified as international clone I by multilocus sequence typing.

AB  - Seeds of two commercially marketable small shrubs, Ardisia crenata and Ardisia japonica, do not germinate if they are stored for more than few weeks in conditions where they are allowed to dehydrate, and they are considered as recalcitrant. The berries of these plants remain attached for a long period of time after an approximately 34 weeks period of development. The proteins in the developing seeds, germinating seeds, and seeds stored for various periods of time in moist or dry conditions and at 10°C or 25°C were examined by a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and an immunoblot analysis with antibodies to dehydrin and oleosin. Both dehydrin- and oleosin-like proteins were detected in early stages of seed development, as were proteins that are likely to function as seed storage proteins. Storage of seeds in dry conditions induced the expression of both dehydrin- and oleosin-like proteins, but only after an 8 weeks storage period. The levels of these proteins were considerably lower in the less dehydration tolerant A. japonica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Timing of fungicides in relation to calendar date, weather, and disease thresholds to control Rhizoctonia web blight on container-grown azalea

AB  - Abstract: Rhizoctonia web blight, caused by binucleate Rhizoctonia spp., is an annual problem in the southern United States on container-grown azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) that receive daily irrigation. Fungicides are the only practical control method, but a guideline for timing of fungicides is not available. Typically, producers apply fungicides in July based on past experiences such as when frequent afternoon rains are forecast, or after severe blight symptoms develop. The objective of the study was to evaluate fungicide timing criteria, including a calendar schedule, and disease incidence and decision-based weather thresholds. Experiments with a randomized complete block design were performed at a site in AL and MS for three years. For 2009, 2010, treatments included a non-treated control and five treatments where fungicide timing was based on a calendar schedule, three disease threshold criteria and a rain frequency criterion. In 2011, treatments included a non-treated control, a calendar schedule, and two disease threshold criteria. The calendar schedule was the only timing treatment that resulted in significantly less blight incidence than the control in all experiments. Fungicide application based on the lowest disease threshold (16–30 blight leaves per plant quadrant) and the rain frequency criteria (>3 rain events of >6.3 mm rain within the previous seven days) suppressed blight development equal to the calendar schedule in three experiments and all other criteria provided equal disease suppression in at least one experiment. While not tested in combination, the recommendation is to schedule fungicide applications based on calendar-dates (the most consistently reliable criterion), and use the disease threshold of >16 blighted leaves per plant quadrant (a moderately reliable criterion) to adjust timing within 1–2 weeks of the calendar-date in response to year-to-year differences in disease pressure, which can vary due to weather variables such as rainfall frequency (a moderately reliable criterion).

AB  - Prostate cancer (PCa) has been linked to fat intake, but the effects of both different dietary fat levels and types remain inconsistent and incompletely characterised. The effects on PCa in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) cancer model of an elevated fat (20 % of energy as fat) diet containing 155 g of whole walnuts were compared to those of an elevated fat (20 % of energy as soyabean oil) diet with matched macronutrients, tocopherols as well as a low-fat (8 % of energy as soyabean oil) diet. Mice, starting at 8 weeks of age, consumed one of the three different diets ad libitum; and prostates, livers and blood were obtained after 9, 18 or 24 weeks of feeding. No differences were observed in whole animal growth rates in either high-fat (HF) diet group, but prostate tumour weight and growth rate were reduced in the walnut diet group. Walnut diet group prostate weight, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, resistin and LDL were lower at 18 weeks, while no statistically significant prostate weight differences by diet were seen at 9 or 24 weeks. Multiple metabolites in the livers differed by diet at 9 and 18 weeks. The walnut diet's beneficial effects probably represent the effects of whole walnuts' multiple constituents and not via a specific fatty acid or tocopherols. Moreover, as the two HF diets had dissimilar effects on prostate tumour growth rate and size, and yet had the same total fat and tocopherol composition and content, this suggests that these are not strongly linked to PCa growth.

AB  - The article evaluates the possibility of using two compounds, chitosan and N, N,N-trimethylated chitosan (TMC), to increase the viscosity of the RABORAL V-RG recombinant rabies vaccine and potentially act as adjuvants to enhance the immune response in raccoons. About 40 mildly sedated raccoons were orally vaccinated with either RABORAL V-RG, chitosan + RABORAL V-RG, and TMC + RABORAL V-RG. Results indicate that the inclusion of an adjuvant could boost vaccine efficacy.

AB  - Background: The American Heart Association (AHA), Institute of Medicine (IOM), and US Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines for Americans all recommend that Americans limit sodium intake and choose foods that contain potassium to decrease the risk of hypertension and other adverse health outcomes. Objective: We estimated the distributions of usual daily sodium and potassium intakes by sociodemographic and health characteristics relative to current recommendations. Design: We used 24-h dietary recalls and other data from 12,581 adults aged ≥20 y who participated in NHANES in 2003-2008. Estimates of sodium and potassium intakes were adjusted for within- individual day-to-day variation by using measurement error models. SEs and 95% CIs were assessed by using jackknife replicate weights. Results: Overall, 99.4% (95% CI: 99.3%, 99.5%) of US adults consumed more sodium daily than recommended by the AHA (<1500 mg), and 90.7% (89.6%, 91.8%) consumed more than the IOM Tolerable Upper Intake Level (2300 mg). In US adults who are recommended by the Dietary Guidelines to further reduce sodium intake to 1500 mg/d (ie, African Americans aged ≥51 y or persons with hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease), 98.8% (98.4%, 99.2%) overall consumed >1500 mg/d, and 60.4% consumed >3000 mg/d-more than double the recommendation. Overall, <2% of US adults and ~5% of US men consumed ≥4700 mg K/d (ie, met recommendations for potassium). Conclusion: Regardless of recommendations or sociodemographic or health characteristics, the vast majority of US adults consume too much sodium and too little potassium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chokeberries are a rich source of anthocyanins, which may contribute to the prevention of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to determine if an extract from chokeberries would reduce weight gain in rats fed a fructose-rich diet (FRD) and to explore the potential mechanisms related to insulin signalling, adipogenesis and inflammatory-related pathways. Wistar rats were fed a FRD for 6 weeks to induce insulin resistance, with or without chokeberry extract (CBE) added to the drinking-water (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, daily: CBE100 and CBE200). Both doses of CBE consumption lowered epididymal fat, blood glucose, TAG, cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. CBE consumption also elevated plasma adiponectin levels and inhibited plasma TNF-α and IL6, compared with the control group. There were increases in the mRNA expression for Irs1, Irs2, Pi3k, Glut1, Glut4 and Gys1, and decreases in mRNA levels of Gsk3β. The protein and gene expression of adiponectin and Pparγ mRNA levels were up-regulated and Fabp4, Fas and Lpl mRNA levels were inhibited. The levels of gene expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as Il1β, Il6 and Tnfα were lowered, and protein and gene expression of ZFP36 (zinc finger protein) were enhanced in the epididymal adipose tissue of the rats that consumed the CBE200 extract. In summary, these results suggest that the CBE decreased risk factors related to insulin resistance by modulating multiple pathways associated with insulin signalling, adipogenesis and inflammation.

AB  - Zeaxanthin is a predominant xanthophyll in human eyes and may reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Spirulina is an algal food that contains a high concentration of zeaxanthin. In order to determine the zeaxanthin bioavailability of spirulina for dietary supplementation in humans, spirulina was grown in nutrient solution with 2H2O for carotenoid labelling. Single servings of 2H-labelled spirulina (4·0–5·0 g) containing 2·6–3·7 mg zeaxanthin were consumed by fourteen healthy male volunteers (four Americans and ten Chinese) with 12 g dietary fat. Blood samples were collected over a 45 d period. The serum concentrations of total zeaxanthin were measured using HPLC, and the enrichment of labelled zeaxanthin was determined using LC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-MS (LC-APCI-MS). The results showed that intrinsically labelled spirulina zeaxanthin in the circulation was detected at levels as low as 10 % of the total zeaxanthin for up to 45 d after intake of the algae. A single dose of spirulina can increase mean serum zeaxanthin concentration in humans from 0·06 to 0·15 μmol/l, as shown in our study involving American and Chinese volunteers. The average 15 d area under the serum zeaxanthin response curve to the single dose of spirulina was 293 nmol × d/μmol (range 254–335) in American subjects, and 197 nmol × d/μmol (range 154–285) in Chinese subjects. It is concluded that the relative bioavailability of spirulina zeaxanthin can be studied with high sensitivity and specificity using 2H labelling and LC-APCI-MS methodology. Spirulina can serve as a rich source of dietary zeaxanthin in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Background: Isoflavones, having chemical structures similar to estrogens, are believed to stimulate nitric oxide production and thus lower blood pressure. The efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation to stimulate nitric oxide production and lower blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure remains unknown. Objective: The objective was to test the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on nitric oxide production and blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure. Design: A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled 6-wk trial was conducted to assess the effects of daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones (in aglycone units) on nitric oxide metabolism and blood pressure in 24 menopausal women with 12 women per group. Changes in nitric oxide metabolism were assessed via a primed, constant-infusion protocol with [15N]arginine and [13C]- and [2H]citrulline. Changes in blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics were assessed via office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, forearm blood flow, and indexes of arterial compliance. Results: When compared with placebo and after control for pre- treatment values, soy isoflavone supplementation had no effect on arginine flux, citrulline flux, nitric oxide synthesis, blood pressure, forearm blood flow, or estimates of arterial stiffness. Conclusion: Daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones over a 6-wk period had no effect on nitric oxide metabolism or blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure.

AB  - Abstract: The use of an enhanced nutritional programs (ENPs) to minimize the deleterious effects of the vector transmitted bacterial disease, citrus huanglongbing (HLB) caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), has been a topic of considerable discussion and debate since the discovery of HLB in Florida. Most reports of the putative effects of ENPs are either anecdotal or based on non-replicated trials lacking non-treated controls or proper experimental design and analysis with sufficient statistical rigor. Even so, Florida citrus producers use this unproven and non-validated approach for HLB management in lieu of conventional integrated control of inoculum which includes rouging symptomatic trees to reduce inoculum and vector control using insecticide. The formulation of the ENPs varies considerably, but usually consists of foliar applications of standard essential micronutrients, salts of phosphite, and in some programs, salicylate salts. Two field trials were conducted on Valencia sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] to test efficacy of widely used ENPs. The first trial consisting of a randomized complete block design with 3 blocks and 4 replicate trees/block was conducted from 2008 to 2010. All trees were PCR+ for Las at the onset of the trial, but exhibited only mild HLB symptoms. This stage of infection was chosen based on claims that the ENPs maintain the health and productivity of HLB-infected trees, thereby extending the orchard''s commercial viability. Combinations of components were compared with a control consisting of a standard fertilization and control program for psyllids. Additional treatments consisted of phosphite with Mn-carbonate, Mn-metalosate, Cu-metalosate, or Zn-metalosate, and injection treatments using soluble copper or silver mixed with a polymer. After two seasons of three applications each, there were no significant differences in bacterial titer dynamics, fruit yield (number of fruit/tree, kg fruit/tree, proportion of fruit dropped), or juice quality (Brix, acid, Brix:acid ratio) between treated trees and non-treated control trees. In a second trial of six commercial citrus blocks containing 40,885 trees wherein enhanced vector control and rouging of diseased trees was practiced, the ENP in three blocks was compared to conventional fertilization in three blocks. In this commercial trial, yields, disease progress, and epidemic dynamics did not differ between the ENP and conventional fertilization treatments. Results of the large commercial trial corroborated the experimental results of the first trial with more diverse micronutrient treatments. Considering both trials together, the ENP did not sustain tree health, yield, or fruit quality of Las-infected HLB-symptomatic trees. Moreover, since the nutritional supplements had no effect on Las titer, a major concern is that existing ENP strategies have promoted area-wide buildup of inoculum and increased disease spread within and between citrus orchards.

AB  - As natural resource management and conservation goals expand and evolve, practitioners and policy makers are increasingly seeking options that optimize benefits among multiple, often contradictory objectives. Here, we describe a simple approach for quantifying the consequences of alternative management options in terms of benefits and trade-offs among multiple objectives. We examine two long-term forest management experiments that span several decades of stand (forest tree community) development and identify substantial trade-offs among carbon cycling and ecological complexity objectives. In addition to providing improved understanding of the long-term consequences of various management options, the results of these experiments show that positive benefits resulting from some management options are often associated with large trade-offs among individual objectives. The approach to understanding benefits and trade-offs presented here provides a simple yet flexible framework for quantitatively assessing the consequences of different management options.

AB  - Trade in live plants has been recognized worldwide as an important invasion pathway for non-native plant pests. Such pests can have severe economic and ecological consequences. Nearly 70% of damaging forest insects and pathogens established in the US between 1860 and 2006 most likely entered on imported live plants. The current regulation of plant imports is outdated and needs to balance the impacts of pest damage, the expense of mitigation efforts, and the benefits of live plant importation. To inform these discussions, we document large increases in the volume and value of plant imports over the past five decades and explain recent and proposed changes to plant import regulations. Two data sources were used to estimate the infestation rate of regulated pests in live plant shipments entering the US, thus allowing evaluation of the efficacy of the current port inspection process.

AB  - Abstract: Climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency of disturbances, potentially impacting carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the implications of either multiple disturbances or post-disturbance forest management activities on ecosystem carbon stocks. This study quantified how forest carbon stocks responded to stand-replacing blowdown and wildfire, both individually and in combination with and without post-disturbance salvage operations, in a sub-boreal jack pine ecosystem. Individually, blowdown or fire caused similar decreases in live carbon and total ecosystem carbon. However, whereas blowdown increased carbon in down woody material and forest floor, fire increased carbon in standing snags, a difference that may have consequences for long-term carbon cycling patterns. Fire after the blowdown caused substantial additional reduction in ecosystem carbon stocks, suggesting that potential increases in multiple disturbance events may represent a challenge for sustaining ecosystem carbon stocks. Salvage logging, as examined here, decreased carbon stored in snags and down woody material but had no significant effect on total ecosystem carbon stocks. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Many non-native plants in the US have become problematic invaders of native and managed ecosystems, but a new generation of invasive species may be at our doorstep. Here, we review trends in the horticultural trade and invasion patterns of previously introduced species and show that novel species introductions from emerging horticultural trade partners are likely to rapidly increase invasion risk. At the same time, climate change and water restrictions are increasing demand for new types of species adapted to warm and dry environments. This confluence of forces could expose the US to a range of new invasive species, including many from tropical and semiarid Africa as well as the Middle East. Risk assessment strategies have proven successful elsewhere at identifying and preventing invasions, although some modifications are needed to address emerging threats. Now is the time to implement horticulture import screening measures to prevent this new wave of plant invasions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Container longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings often survive and grow better after outplanting than bareroot seedlings. Because of this, most longleaf pine are now produced in containers. Little is known about nursery fertilization effects on the quality of container longleaf pine seedlings and how that influences outplanting performance. We compared various fertilization rates (0.5, 1, 2, 3, or 4mg nitrogen (N) per week for 20weeks) for two crops (2004 and 2005) of container longleaf pine, grown inside a fully-controlled greenhouse (2004 and 2005) or in an outdoor compound (2005). Seedlings grew larger in the nursery with increasing amounts of N. After 20weeks of fertilizer treatment, seedlings received two additional fertigations at the same treatment rate to promote hardening, N concentrations declined sharply, and seedlings shifted biomass production toward roots. Overall, shoots showed more plasticity to N rate than did roots. Survival of either crop after outplanting was unaffected by nursery N rate. For both crops, no seedlings emerged from the grass stage during the first year after outplanting, and during the second year, more seedlings exited the grass stage and were taller as N rate increased up to 3mg per week. By the third field season, nearly all seedlings in the 2004 crop had exited the grass stage, whereas 44% of 2005 crop grown at 1mgN had yet to initiate height growth, either because of differences in seed source between the two crop years or because of droughty conditions. Our data suggests that an application rate of about 3mgN per week for 20weeks plus two additional applications during hardening yields satisfactory nursery growth as well as field response for the container type we used. The potential for improving field performance by using more robust fall fertilization during nursery production should be investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Forest fragmentation threatens the sustainability of forest communities in the eastern United States. Forest communities exhibiting either a low total area or low percentage of intact forest are subject to relatively higher risk of shifts in stand composition towards edge-adapted and invasive species. Such changes in stand composition could result in local extirpation of communities, homogenization of forest communities at broader spatial scales, and a consequential reduction of the biodiversity values of forestland. To evaluate current conditions, we combined forest inventory data with land cover data to compare 70 forest communities in terms of the amount and ownership of intact (i.e., not fragmented) forest, and the proximate causes (i.e., adjacent land cover) of fragmentation. Only 45% of total forestland area was intact in 4.41-ha neighborhoods, but that varied from 13% to 78% among forest communities. Among 10 community groups, the proximate causes of fragmentation reflected their typical geographic context, and the relative importance of fragmentation by development was higher in mostly-forested neighborhoods than in less-forested neighborhoods. Fragmentation was also higher on privately owned forestland than on public forestland. Because of the regional dominance of only a few forest communities and private land ownership, the total regional area of intact forest was driven more by the total area of those strata than by their fragmentation characteristics. The results provide insight for targeting land management strategies to maintain the diversity and regional distributions of intact forest communities. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The objective of this review is to consider the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects muscle and the evidence that vitamin D status is important for muscle performance and fall prevention in older adults. Vitamin D receptors have been identified in human skeletal-muscle cells. Activation of these receptors by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is involved in the action of vitamin D on the myocyte. Several studies have examined the effect of supplemental vitamin D on muscle strength, balance and falls. Among those examining muscle strength, results have been either positive for vitamin D or null. A recent meta-analysis of seventeen such trials revealed no significant effect of vitamin D overall, but a significant improvement in strength was observed in the trials in which the mean starting level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 25 nmol/l or below. Evidence for an effect of vitamin D on balance, measured as sway, is less abundant but more consistently positive. Many trials have evaluated the effect of supplemental vitamin D on falls. Overall, there is about a 20% lower risk of falling with supplementation. One meta-analysis considered the vitamin D dose administered and concluded that doses up through 15 μg (600 IU) were ineffective and doses of 17·5–25 μg/d (700–1000 IU/d) significantly lowered fall risk. The minimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D level needed for benefit was 60 nmol/l. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - A characterization program has been developed at Hanford to image past leaks in and around the underground storage tank facilities. The program is based on electrical resistivity, a geophysical technique that maps the distribution of electrical properties of the subsurface. The method was shown to be immediately successful in open areas devoid of underground metallic infrastructure, due to the large contrast in material properties between the highly saline waste and the dry sandy host environment. The results in these areas, confirmed by a limited number of boreholes, demonstrate a tendency for the lateral extent of the underground waste plume to remain within the approximate footprint of the disposal facility. In infrastructure-rich areas, such as tank farms, the conventional application of electrical resistivity using small point-source surface electrodes initially presented a challenge for the resistivity method. The method was then adapted to directly use the buried infrastructure, specifically the steel-cased wells that surround the tanks, as 'long' electrodes for both transmission of electrical current and measurements of voltage. Overcoming the drawbacks of the long electrode method has been the focus of our work over the past 7 years. The drawbacks include low vertical resolution and limited lateral coverage. The lateral coverage issue has been improved by supplementing the long electrodes with surface electrodes in areas devoid of infrastructure. The vertical resolution has been increased by developing borehole electrode arrays that can fit within the small-diameter drive casing of a direct push rig. The evolution of the program has led to some exceptional advances in the application of geophysical methods, including logistical deployment of the technology in hazardous areas, development of parallel processing resistivity inversion algorithms, and adapting the processing tools to accommodate electrodes of all shapes and locations. The program is accompanied by a full set of quality assurance procedures that cover the layout of sensors, measurement strategies, and software enhancements while insuring the integrity of stored data. The data have been shown to be useful in identifying previously unknown contaminant sources and defining the footprint of precipitation recharge barriers to retard the movement of existing contamination.

AB  - Abstract: Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a key technology for mitigating carbon emissions. However, CCS is still very much at a developmental stage and the full-scale projects required to test the technology have proven difficult to implement, with lack of societal acceptance considered a key contributing factor to this delay. This paper reports on a study that explored practices for effective communication, engagement strategies and activities in the context of five detailed CCS project case studies. The cases studied included Barendrecht, The Netherlands; Carson, USA; FutureGen, USA; ZeroGen, Australia; and the CO2CRC Otway project, Australia. Comparative analysis of these cases identified a series of factors including: the extent to which key government and project team members are aligned; deployment of communications experts as part of the project team from the outset; consideration of the social context; the degree of flexibility in the project; and competition involving community self-selection. The research team designated these “critical success factors” that, when present, seemed to enhance the effectiveness of best practices in engagement and contribute to successful project deployment in some cases. The paper proposes that project developers need to consider ways to maximise these critical factors as part of their project planning and implementation process. It also discusses best practices in stakeholder communication and engagement activities applicable to CCS projects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract oil from wheat germ. Wheat germ pretreatment, effect of various industrial enzymes, pH, wheat germ to water ratio, reaction time and effect of various methods of demulsification, were investigated. Pretreatment at 180 °C in a conventional oven for 4 min reduced the moisture 12.8-2.2 % and significantly increased the oil yield. Adding a combination of protease (Fermgen) and cellulase (Spezyme CP) resulted in a 72 % yield of emulsified oil from wheat germ (both commercial and laboratory milled wheat germ). Using the same oil extraction conditions optimized for wheat germ, yields of 51 and 39 % emulsified oil were obtained from barley germ (laboratory milled), and rice bran, respectively. Three physical demulsification methods (heating, freeze-thawing, and pH adjustment) and enzymatic methods (Protex 6L, Protex 7L, Alcalase, Fermgen, Lysomax and G-zyme 999) were compared. After demulsification with Protex 6L, free oil yields of 63.8 and 59.5 % were obtained with commercial wheat germ and with laboratory milled wheat germ, respectively. Using the same demulsification conditions optimized for wheat germ, yields of 45.7 % emulsified oil and 35 % free oil were obtained for barley germ and rice bran, respectively.

AB  - A fundamental principle of earned value consistent with the ANSI/EIA-748 requirements is the integration of scope-schedule-budget. Scope growth is a common reason for projects to exceed contractual and internal cost targets. One reason for growth is not keeping scope integrated with cost and schedule. This paper/presentation will address scope management with earned value. Scope at the project level is planned through the WBS to the control account level where it is then integrated with schedule and cost. This is a fundamental requirement of ANSI/EIA-748 Guideline 8. The integration creates an integrated performance measurement baseline. It is important that the integration is maintained after the baseline has been established with change control. Besides driving project cost, scope management is a key component to understanding EVM baseline control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background/objectives: Low blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) have been associated with cardiometabolic disease but results are inconsistent. The objective of the study was to investigate the association of 25OHD with metabolic syndrome in a population at increased risk for diabetes.Subjects/methods: Using baseline data from the placebo and lifestyle intervention arms of the Diabetes Prevention Program (N=2000), multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome and each of its individual components across 25OHD tertiles. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate the adjusted mean difference of insulin secretion and sensitivity across the same 25OHD tertiles. In participants free of metabolic syndrome at baseline (N=546), incident metabolic syndrome in the first 2 years of follow-up was assessed using discrete-time proportional hazards regression to test its association with 25OHD concentration.Results: After multivariate adjustment, participants in the highest tertile of 25OHD had lower odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome (odds ratio=0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.45-0.84), smaller waist circumference, higher high-density lipoprotein and lower fasting plasma glucose compared with participants in the lowest tertile of 25OHD. Higher plasma 25OHD concentration was associated with greater insulin sensitivity and lower insulin secretion. After multivariate adjustment, there was a nonsignificant lower risk of metabolic syndrome in the highest tertile of 25OHD (hazard ratio=0.79; 95% CI=0.48-1.32) compared with the lowest tertile.Conclusions: In a population at increased risk for diabetes, higher plasma 25OHD concentration was inversely associated with prevalent metabolic syndrome and nonsignificantly with incident metabolic syndrome.

AB  - The detonation of a nuclear device in a US city would be catastrophic. Enormous loss of life and injuries would characterize an incident with profound human, political, social, and economic implications. Nevertheless, most responders have not received sufficient training about ionizing radiation, principles of radiation safety, or managing, diagnosing, and treating radiation-related injuries and illnesses. Members throughout the health care delivery system, including medical first responders, hospital first receivers, and health care institution support personnel such as janitors, hospital administrators, and security personnel, lack radiation-related training. This lack of knowledge can lead to failure of these groups to respond appropriately after a nuclear detonation or other major radiation incident and limit the effectiveness of the medical response and recovery effort. Efficacy of the response can be improved by getting each group the information it needs to do its job. This paper proposes a sustainable training strategy for spreading curricula throughout the necessary communities. It classifies the members of the health care delivery system into four tiers and identifies tasks for each tier and the radiation-relevant knowledge needed to perform these tasks. By providing education through additional modules to existing training structures, connecting radioactive contamination control to daily professional practices, and augmenting these systems with just-in-time training, the strategy creates a sustainable mechanism for giving members of the health care community improved ability to respond during a radiological or nuclear crisis, reducing fatalities, mitigating injuries, and improving the resiliency of the community.

AB  - SUMMARY Common sources of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 infection have been identified by investigating outbreaks and by case-control studies of sporadic infections. We conducted an analysis to attribute STEC O157 infections ascertained in 1996 and 1999 by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) to sources. Multivariable models from two case-control studies conducted in FoodNet and outbreak investigations that occurred during the study years were used to calculate the annual number of infections attributable to six sources. Using the results of the outbreak investigations alone, 27% and 15% of infections were attributed to a source in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Combining information from both data sources, 65% of infections in 1996 and 34% of infections in 1999 were attributed. The results suggest that methods to incorporate data from multiple surveillance systems and over several years are needed to improve estimation of the number of illnesses attributable to exposure sources.

AB  - Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones, is the presence of renal calculi caused by a disruption in the balance between salt solubility and precipitation in the kidneys, usually because of dehydration or certain genetic predispositions. The lifetime prevalence of kidney stones in the United States is 12% among men and 7% among women. There are many myths regarding the relationship between diet and risk of various types of kidney stones, which are addressed in this article. Conclusions are as follows: All individuals should avoid very high or very low total intakes of calcium. Stone formers should optimize fluid intake to increase urine volume and decrease stone risk. All individuals should aim for the dietary reference intake (DRI) for vitamin C, and those prone to oxalate stones should avoid excessive dietary supplementation. Eating amounts of protein near the DRI does not increase risk of stone recurrence, even if protein is from animal sources. Consumption of fruits and vegetables (at least 5 servings/day) may decrease risk for kidney stones. Follow the dietary recommendations that accompany kidney stone medications to maximize their efficacy. Strive for the DRIs for magnesium and potassium because they appear to be protective against kidney stones. Hyperuricosuric patients can reduce their uric acid excretion and increase their urinary pH by reducing purine intake.

AB  - Objectives. This study examined absence rates among US Department of Energy workers who had beryllium sensitization (BeS) or were diagnosed with chronic beryllium disease (CBD) compared with those of other workers. Methods. We used the lymphocyte proliferation test to determine beryllium sensitivity. In addition, we applied multivariable logistic regression to compare absences from 2002 to 2011 between workers with BeS or CBD to those without, and survival analysis to compare time to first absence by beryllium sensitization status. Finally, we examined beryllium status by occupational group. Results. Fewer than 3% of the 19 305 workers were BeS, and workers with BeS or CBD had more total absences (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18, 1.46) and respiratory absences (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.84) than did other workers. Time to first absence for all causes and for respiratory conditions occurred earlier for workers with BeS or CBD than for other workers. Line operators and crafts personnel were at increased risk for BeS or CBD. Conclusions. Although not considered “diseased,” workers with BeS have higher absenteeism compared with nonsensitized workers.

The probability of a minimum air temperature ≤14 C for one, three, or five consecutive days at one coastal and eight inland sites where L. vannamei is or could be grown in ponds is high (50%) from late March through late April at all sites except Arcadia, Florida, and Harlingen, Texas. Probabilities are 10% by early May to early June. In the autumn, the 10 and 50% probability levels are reached in early- to mid-September and by late September to mid-October, respectively. Arcadia, Florida, and Harlingen, Texas, have the longest periods with low probabilities and Pecos, Texas, has the shortest periods. The maximum pond water temperature from the previous afternoon and the minimum air temperature from that night predicted the minimum pond water temperature the following morning for Pine Bluff, Arkansas: ( R2 = 0.886): Tmin = 1.464 + 0.169 Amin + 0.727 Tmax, where Tmin = minimum daily pond water temperature (C), Amin = minimum air temperature (C) for the same day, and Tmax = maximum pond water temperature (C) from the previous day. Pond stock out and harvest decisions can be guided by minimum air temperature probabilities and predicted water temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1.  Effects of CO2 enrichment on leaf transpiration are well-documented, but our understanding of how CO2 interacts with other variables to regulate evapotranspiration from plant communities is more limited. 2.  A series of weighing lysimeters in which tallgrass prairie species had been planted were exposed to a subambient to elevated gradient in CO2 in a field chamber. Lysimeters with intact monoliths of three soil types were represented along the CO2 gradient. We used regression analysis to determine how CO2 effects on evapotranspiration per unit of soil surface area (ETsoil) and per unit of leaf area (ETla) depended on variation in leaf area index (LAI) and diurnal changes in environmental variables during the initial 6 weeks of CO2 treatment. 3.  CO2 enrichment reduced ETsoil and ETla, and together with air temperature and LAI accounted for most of the variance in daily values of evapotranspiration explained by multiple regression models. The CO2 effect on ETsoil did not depend on values of other variables, but CO2 enrichment reduced ETla most at relatively low air temperatures and low LAI for all soils combined. Higher temperatures countered the CO2 effect by increasing ETla more at elevated than subambient CO2. Higher LAI countered the CO2 effect by decreasing ETla more at subambient than elevated concentrations. Plant (LAI) and environmental effects on ETla differed among soils, possibly because plant growth patterns and physiology differed among soils. 4.  Our results imply that the CO2 effect on evapotranspiration per unit of leaf area will vary with seasonal change in temperature and LAI, independent of seasonal shifts in leaf age and physiological activity.

AB  - The influence native endophytes have on grass establishment and productivity was evaluated by cocultivating Bouteloua eriopoda (Torr.) Torr. (black grama) or Sporobolus cryptandrus (Torr.) Gray (sand dropseed) seedlings with endophyte-laden calli from three of four native grass and shrub species: Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. (fourwing saltbush), S. cryptandrus, Sporobolus airoides (Torr.) Torr. (alkali sacaton), and B. eriopoda in vitro. Following cocultivation, grass seedlings were hardened and transferred to three replicate field plots, each containing 16 grass plants of a single species that had been cocultivated with a single callus species. Plant establishment rates, heights, crown diameters, aboveground biomass, seed yields, and seed quality were compared. In B. eriopoda (black grama), significant increases in plant biomass were not observed. However, early plant heights and crown diameters, establishment rates, and stolon production were higher in some callus treatments. In S. cryptandrus (sand dropseed), all variables were positively influenced by one or more of the endophyte treatments. Biomass increases ranged from 2.5- to threefold over untreated plants, and harvested seed increased 5.9-fold in plants treated with endophytes from A. canescens (fourwing saltbush). Seed quality, determined by purity, germination rates, and tetrazolium assays, did not differ across endophyte treatments for either grass. There is evidence that endophyte transfer is responsible for the altered vigor of treated plants. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Se evaluó la influencia que los endófitos nativos tienen en el establecimiento y productividad de los zacates al co-cultivar plántulas de Bouteloua eriopoda (Torr.) Torr. ("black grama") o Sporobolus cryptandrus (Torr.) Gray ("sand dropseed") con callos conteniendo de endofitos de tres de cuatro especies nativas de zacates y arbustos: Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. ("fourwing saltbush"), S. cryptandrus, Sporobolus airoides (Torr.) Torr. ("alkali sacaton") y B. eriopoda in-vitro. Después del co-cultivo, las plántulas de los zacates fueron aclimatadas y transferidas a campo con tres repeticiones, cada parcela conteniendo 16 plántulas de una especie de zacate, que habían sido co-cultivadas con un callo de una sola especie. Se compararon las tasas de establecimiento, alturas, diámetros de corona, biomasa aérea y rendimiento de semilla y su calidad. En B. eriopoda ("black grama") no se observaron incrementos significativos de la biomasa vegetal. Sin embargo, la altura y diámetro de la corona en etapas tempranas, las tasas de establecimiento y la producción de estolones fueron mayores en algunos de los tratamientos con callos. En S. cryptandrus ("sand dropseed"), todas las variables fueron influenciadas positivamente por uno o mas de los tratamientos de endófitos. Los incrementos de biomasa estuvieron en un rango de 2.5 a 3 veces más de lo producido por las plantas sin tratar y la semilla cosechada fue 5.9 veces más en las plantas tratadas con endofitos provenientes de A. canescens ("fourwing saltbush"). La calidad de la semilla, determinada por la pureza, tasa de germinación y ensayos con tetrazolium, no difirió entre tratamientos de endófitas en ninguna de las especies de zacates. Hay evidencia de que la transferencia endófita es responsable del vigor alterado de las plantas tratadas. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) is an invasive annual grass that reduces biodiversity and production of rangelands. To prevent medusahead invasion land managers need to know more about its invasion process. Specifically, they must know about 1) the timing and spatial extent of medusahead seed dispersal and 2) the establishment rates and interactions with plant communities being invaded. The timing and distance medusahead seeds dispersed from invasion fronts were measured using seed traps along 23 35-m transects. Medusahead establishment was evaluated by introducing medusahead at 1, 10, 100, 1 000, and 10 000 seeds · m-2 at 12 sites. Most medusahead seeds dispersed less than 0.5 m from the invasion front (P < 0.01) and none were captured beyond 2 m. Medusahead seeds dispersed from the parent plants from early July to the end of October. More seeds were trapped in August than in the other months (P < 0.01). Medusahead establishment increased with higher seed introduction rates (P < 0.01). Medusahead density was negatively correlated to tall tussock perennial grass density and positively correlated to annual grass density of the preexisting plant communities (P = 0.02). Medusahead cover was also negatively correlated with tall tussock perennial grass density (P = 0.03). The results suggest that containment barriers around medusahead infestations would only have to be a few meters wide to be effective. This study also suggests that promoting or maintaining tall tussock perennial grass in areas at risk of invasion can reduce the establishment success of medusahead. Tall tussock perennial grass and annual grass density, in combination with soil data, may be useful in predicting susceptibility to medusahead invasion. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - "Medusahead" (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) es un zacate anual invasor que reduce la biodiversidad y productividad del pastizal. Para prevenir la invasión de esta especie, los manejadores del pastizal deben saber más acerca de su proceso de invasión, específicamente: 1) la época y distancia de dispersión de la semilla del "Medusahead" y 2) las tasas de establecimiento y las interacciones con las comunidades vegetales que esta invadiendo. La época y la distancia a partir de los frentes de invasión, a la que las semillas de "Medusahead" son dispersadas se midieron usando trampas a lo largo de 23 transectos de 35 m. El establecimiento de "Medusahead" se evaluó introduciendo 1, 10, 100, 1 000, y 10 000 semillas · m-2 en 12 sitios. La mayoría de las semillas de "Medusahead" se dispersaron a menos de 0.5 m del frente de invasión (P < 0.01) y ninguna fue capturada más allá de 2 m. Las semillas de "Medusahead" fueron dispersadas de las plantas madre de inicios de julio a fines de octubre, se capturaron más semillas en agosto que en los otros meses (P < 0.01). El establecimiento de "Medusahead" se incrementó al aumentar el número de semillas introducidas (P < 0.01). La densidad de "Medusahead" se correlacionó negativamente con la densidad de zacates amacollados perennes y positivamente con la densidad de zacates anuales de las comunidades vegetales preexistentes (P = 0.02). La cobertura de "Medusabead" también se correlacionó negativamente con la densidad de los zacates amacollados altos perennes (P = 0.03). Estos resultados sugieren que las barreras de contención alrededor de las infestaciones de "Medusahead" solo deberían ser de unos pocos metros de ancho para ser efectivas. Este estudio también sugiere que promover o mantener zacates amacollados altos perennes en áreas con riesgo de invasión puede reducir el éxito de establecimiento del "Medusahead". La densidad de zacates amacollados altos perennes y zacates anuales, en combinación con datos de suelo, pueden ser útiles para predecir la susceptibilidad a la invasión de "Medusahead".

AB  - Conifers (Picea and Abies spp.) have replaced aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) over much of aspen's historic range in the western United States. We measured the impact of this change upon the production of understory vegetation potentially useful as forage for livestock and wildlife on two southern Utah national forests. A negative exponential relationship between conifer cover and understory biomass was demonstrated as log(biomass) = 6.25 - 0.03787(% conifer), adjusted R2 = 0.57. Understory production in aspen stands begins to decline under very low levels (10% to 20%) of conifer encroachment. Management implications include loss of forage production capability and wildlife habitat and potential overstocking of livestock grazing allotments if the associated loss of forage is not considered.

Medimos el impacto de este cambio sobre la producción del estrato herbáceo potencialmente útil como forraje para el ganado y fauna silvestre en dos bosques nacionales del sur de Utah. Se demostró una relación exponencial negativa entre la cobertura de coníferas y la biomasa del estrato herbáceo, tal como lo demostró la siguiente ecuación: log(biomasa) = 6.25-0.0378(% conífera), R² ajustada = 0.57. La producción herbácea en las poblaciones de álamo inicia a disminuir a muy bajos niveles (10% a 20%) de expansión de las coníferas. Las implicaciones de manejo incluyen pérdida de capacidad de producción de forraje y del hábitat para la fauna silvestre y una sobrecarga potencial de ganado, si la pérdida de forraje asociadas no se considera.

AB  - Objectives. To investigate differences in levels of plasma trans fatty acids (TFAs) and a broad set of other markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the US adult population between 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. Methods. Using a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older from the 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, regression models were estimated to compare levels of TFAs and other markers for CVD risk over time. Results. Significant declines in levels of plasma TFAs and improvements in a variety of other markers for CVD risk were observed in the US adult population. Conclusions. Between the 2 time points, 1999–2000 and 2009–2010, there were substantial decreases in TFA levels and improvements in several other important cardiovascular health indicators in US adults.

AB  - High temperature stress-induced male sterility is a critical problem in grain sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) that significantly compromises crop yields. Grain sorghum plants were grown season-long under ambient (30/20°C, day-time maximum/night-time minimum) and high temperature (36/26°C) conditions in sunlit Soil-Plant-Atmospheric-Research (SPAR) growth chambers. We report data on the effects of high temperature on sugar levels and expression profiles of genes related to sugar-to-starch metabolism in microspore populations represented by pre- and post-meiotic “early” stages through post-mitotic “late” stages that show detectable levels of starch deposition. Microspores from high temperature stress conditions showed starch-deficiency and considerably reduced germination, translating into 27% loss in seed-set. Sugar profiles showed significant differences in hexose levels at both “early” and “late” stages at the two temperature regimes; and most notably, undetectable sucrose and ∼50% lower starch content in “late” microspores from heat-stressed plants. Northern blot, quantitative PCR, and immunolocalization data revealed a significant reduction in the steady-state transcript abundance of SbIncw1 gene and CWI proteins in both sporophytic as well as microgametophytic tissues under high temperature conditions. Northern blot analyses also indicated greatly altered temporal expression profiles of various genes involved in sugar cleavage and utilization ( SbIncw1, SbIvr2, Sh1, and Sus1), transport ( Mha1 and MST1) and starch biosynthesis ( Bt2, SU1, GBSS1, and UGPase) in heat-stressed plants. Collectively, these data suggest that impairment of CWI-mediated sucrose hydrolysis and subsequent lack of sucrose biosynthesis may be the most upstream molecular dysfunctions leading to altered carbohydrate metabolism and starch deficiency under elevated growth temperature conditions.

AB  - Fruit from six genotypes of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellate Thunb.); Brilliant Rose, Delightful, Jewel, Natural 1, Natural 2 and Sweet N Tart; were evaluated for fruit quality, phenolic content, carotenoids, antioxidants, antioxidant capacity, and antioxidant enzyme activity. The fruit soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acids (TA), total carotenoids, and total phenolic content varied with genotypes. Soluble solids content (SSC) in six genotypes of autumn olive ranged from 10.6 to 18.4 %, while titratable acids ranged from 0.79 to 1.29 %. Jewel had the highest SSC and Sweet N Tart had the highest TA. Fructose and glucose were the two predominant sugars, and malic acid was the predominant organic acid found in autumn olive fruit. Jewel and Sweet N Tart cultivars had the highest sugar and organic acid content among the six genotypes. Autumn olive had potent free radical scavenging activities for 2,2-di(4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·), 2,2'-azinobis(3--ethylbenzothiazoline-6 -sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS+·), peroxyl radical (ROO·), superoxide radicals (O2-·), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and singlet oxygen (¹O2). Autumn olive also had high activities of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GHS--POD), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR). Among the six genotypes, Brilliant Rose and Jewel had the highest levels of antioxidants and antioxidant enzyme activity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Previous work has shown that flagellin (FGN) is a potent stimulator in vitro of phagocytic cell functions of chickens. The purpose of this study was to define the effects of FGN on the inflammatory response to Salmonella enteritidis (SE) in chickens. Intra-abdominal (IA) FGN administration caused significant increases in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) compared with SE-injected controls at 4 and 8 h postinjection ( P≤0.05). The heterophil (PMN) was the predominant cell responsible for the increased numbers of leukocytes in the peripheral blood. In the abdominal cavity, leukocyte infiltrates were significantly greater in FGN-injected (8 h) and SE/FGN-injected (4 and 24 h) birds than in the SE-injected control birds. Again, the predominant leukocyte infiltrating the abdominal cavity was the PMN. Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-injected protein control birds showed no increases in PBL or in abdominal cell leukocyte infiltrates over saline-injected controls. In IA challenge studies, FGN reduced SE-associated mortality (26%) compared with mortality of 51% in the SE group ( P≤0.05). BSA-injected/SE-challenged chicks had mortality similar to that of the SE group. The data suggest that FGN is a potent stimulator of a heterophil-mediated innate immune response in vivo, protecting against bacterial infections in chickens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp, wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) plant communities of the lntermountain West have been greatly reduced from their historic range as a result of wildfire, agronomic practices, brush control treatments, and weed invasions. The impact of prescribed fall burning Wyoming big sagebrush has not been well quantified. Treatments were sagebrush removed with burning (burned) and sagebrush present (control). Treatments were applied to 0.4-ha plots at 6 sites. Biomass production, vegetation cover, perennial herbaceous vegetation diversity, soil water content, soil inorganic nitrogen (NO 3-, NH 4+), total soil nitrogen (N), total soil carbon (C), and soil organic matter (OM) were compared between treatments in the first 2 years postburn. In 2003 and 2004, total (shrub and herbaceous) aboveground annual biomass production was 2.3 and 1.2 times greater, respectively, in the control compared to the burned treatment. In the upper 15 cm of the soil profile, inorganic N concentrations were greater in the burned than control treatment, while soil water, at least in the spring, was greater in the control than burned treatment. Regardless, greater herbaceous aboveground annual production and cover in the burned treatment indicated that resources were more available to herbaceous vegetation in the burned than the control treatment. Exotic annual grasses did not increase with the burn treatment. Our results suggest in some instances that late seral Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities can be prescribed fall burned to increase livestock forage or alter wildlife habitat without exotic annual grass invasion in the first 2 years postburn. However, long-term evaluation at multiple sites across a larger area is needed to better quantify the effects of prescribed fall burning on these communities. Thus, caution is advised because of the value of Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities to wildlife and the threat of invasive plants. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Las comunidades vegetales de "Wyoming big sagebrush" de (Artemisia tridentata subsp, wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) de los valles del oeste han sido muy reducidas de su rango histórico como resultado del fuego no prescrito, prácticas agronómicas, tratamientos de control de arbustivas e invasión de malezas. El impacto del fuego prescrito en otoño sobre el "Wyoming big sagebrush" no ha sido bien cuantificado. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron remoción de "Sagebrush" con fuego (quemado) y "Sagebrush" presente (control), los cuales se aplicaron en parcelas de 0.4 ha en seis sitios. La producción de biomasa, la cobertura vegetal, la diversidad de la vegetación herbácea perenne, el contenido de agua en el suelo, el nitrógeno inorgánico (NO 3-, NH 4+), el nitrógeno total del suelo (N), el carbón total del suelo y la materia orgánica del suelo fueron comparados entre tratamientos en los dos años siguientes a la quema. En el 2003 y 2004 la producción anual de biomasa aérea (herbácea y arbustiva) del tratamiento control fue 2.3 y 1.2 veces mayor, respectivamente, que la del tratamiento de quema. En los 15 cm superiores del perfil del suelo, la concentración de N inorgánico fue mayor en las parcelas de tratamiento con quema que en las del tratamiento control, mientras que el contenido de agua, al menos en la primavera, fue mayor en el tratamiento control que en el de quema. Pese a la mayor biomasa herbácea aérea anual y cobertura vegetal del tratamiento con quema indicaron que los recursos estuvieron mils disponibles para la vegetación herbácea en el tratamiento con quema queen el control. Los pastos exóticos anuales no se incrementaron con la quema. Nuestros resultados sugieren que, en algunos casos, las comunidades de "Wyoming big sagebrush" en etapas serales finales pueden ser quemadas en forma controlada en otoño para incrementar el forraje para el ganado o alterar el hábitat de la fauna silvestre, sin la invasión de zacates exóticos anuales en los primeros dos años posteriores a la quema. Sin embargo, se necesita la evaluación a largo plazo en múltiples sitios a lo largo de un área mayor, para cuantificar mejor los efectos de la quema prescrita en otoño sobre estas comunidades. Así, se advierte tener precaución debido al valor que las comunidades vegetales de "Wyoming big sagebrush" tienen para la fauna silvestre y la amenaza de las plantas invasoras.

AB  - North American sagebrush steppe communities have been transformed by the introduction of invasive annual grasses and subsequent increase in fire size and frequency. We examined the effects of wildfires and environmental conditions on the ability of rush skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea L.), a perennial Eurasian composite, to invade degraded sagebrush steppe communities, largely dominated by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.). Recruitment of rush skeletonweed from seed and root buds was investigated on 11 burned and unburned plot pairs on Idaho's Snake River Plain following summer 2003 wildfires. Emergence from soil seedbanks was similar on burned and unburned plots in 2003 and 2004 (P = 0.37). Soils from recently burned plots (P = 0.05) and sterilized field soil (P < 0.01) supported greater emergence than did unburned field soils when rush skeletonweed seeds were mixed into the soils in the laboratory. These decreases may indicate susceptibility of this exotic invasive to soil pathogens present in field soils. Seeds in bags placed on field soil in late October 2003 reached peak germination by mid-January 2004 during a wet period; 1% remained viable by August 2004. Seedling emergence from sown plots or the native seedbank and establishment of new rosettes from root sprouts in 2003-2005 indicate that seed germination of rush skeletonweed on the Snake River Plain may be facultative, occurring in fall or spring if soil moisture is adequate, although many germinants may not survive. Stand development results primarily from root sprouting. Establishment from seed is episodic but provides for dispersal, with increasing fire frequency and size expanding the areas of disturbance available for new invasions.

AB  - Las comunidades esteparias de "Sagebrush" de Norteamérica han sido transformadas por la introducción de zacates anuales invasores y el subsiguiente incremento del tamaño y frecuencia de los incendios. Examinamos los efectos de fuegos naturales y las condiciones ambientales en la capacidad del "Rush skeletonweed" (Chondrilla juncea L.), una compuesta perenne de Eurasia, para invadir comunidades esteparias degradadas de "Sagebrush", dominadas principalmente por "Cheatgrass" (Bromus tectorum L.). El establecimiento de "Rush skeletonweed" a partir de semilla y yemas de la raíz, posterior a los fuegos de verano del 2003, se investigó en 11 pares de parcelas quemadas y sin quemar en la planicie del río Snake en Idaho. La emergencia en el 2003 y 2004 a partir del banco de semilla del suelo fue similar (P = 0.37) en las parcelas quemadas y sin quemar. Suelos de parcelas recientemente quemadas (P = 0.05) y suelo de campo esterilizado (P < 0.01) produjeron una mayor emergencia que los suelos de terrenos sin quemar, esto cuando las semillas de "Rush skeletonweed" fueron mezcladas en los suelos en el laboratorio. Estas disminuciones pueden indicar susceptibilidad de esta especie exótica invasora a los patógenos del suelo presentes en el campo. Bolsas de semilla colocadas en el suelo en el campo a fines de octubre de 2003 alcanzaron su pico de germinación a mediados de enero de 2004, durante un periodo húmedo, el 1% permaneció viable hasta agosto del 2004. La emergencia de plántulas de parcelas sembradas o del banco nativo de semillas y el establecimiento de nuevas rosetas a partir de rebrotes en el 2003-2005 indica que la germinación de la semilla de "Rush skeletonweed" en la planicie del río Snake puede ser facultativa, ocurriendo en otoño o primavera si la humedad del suelo es adecuada, aunque las semillas germinadas en otoño puede no sobrevivir. El desarrollo de la población resulta principalmente de rebrotes de raíz. El establecimiento a partir de semilla es episódico, pero suministra semilla para la dispersión, el aumento de la frecuencia y tamaño del fuego expande las áreas de disturbio disponibles para nuevas invasiones.

AB  - Herbaceous vegetation comprises the main habitat type in cool-seasons grasslands and can be managed by various methods. We compared changes in plant communities and bird and mammal use of grasslands that were not managed, managed by mechanical methods (mowing), or managed by chemical methods (plant growth regulator). This 1-year study was conducted from May through October 2003 in Erie County, Ohio. Twelve circular 1.5 ha plots were established: 4 were not managed, 4 were mowed to maintain vegetation height between 9-15 cm, and 4 were sprayed with a plant growth regulator and mowed when vegetation exceeded 15 cm. We monitored vegetation growth, measured plant community composition, and observed all plots for wildlife activity each week. Vegetation in unmanaged plots was taller and denser (P < 0.001) than vegetation in mowed and growth regulator plots. Plant community characteristics differed among study plots (P < 0.001); managed plots had higher grass cover and lower woody cover than unmanaged plots. We observed more (P < 0.001) total birds per 5-minute survey in unmanaged than mowed or growth regulator plots. We observed more (P < 0.001) white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in mowed plots than either control or growth regulator plots. We captured 13 small mammals in unmanaged plots and no small mammals in managed plots. Applying the plant growth regulator was not a cost-effective alternative to mowing for managing vegetation height in our study. Vegetation height management practices altered plant communities and animal use of grassland areas and thus might be useful for accomplishing species-specific habitat management objectives.

AB  - La vegetación herbácea comprende el principal tipo de hábitat en los pastizales de estación fría y pueden ser manejados con varios métodos. Comparamos los cambios en las comunidades de vegetales y el uso de las aves y mamíferos de los pastizales sin manejo, manejados por métodos mecánicos (siega) o manejados con métodos químicos (reguladores de crecimiento vegetal). Este estudio de un año se condujo de mayo a octubre de 2003 en el condado Erie, Ohio. Se establecieron 12 parcelas circulares de 1.5 ha: 4 no recibieron manejo, 4 fueron segadas para mantener la vegetación a una altura entre 9-15 cm, y 4 fueron asperjadas con un regulador de crecimiento vegetal y segada cuando la vegetación excedió 15 cm. Semanalmente, monitoreamos el crecimiento vegetal, medimos la composición de la comunidad vegetal y observamos todas las parcelas para registrar la actividad de la fauna silvestre. La vegetación de las parcelas sin manejo fue más alta y densa (P < 0.001) que la de las parcelas segadas y las que recibieron el regulador de crecimiento vegetal. Las características de la comunidad vegetal difirieron entre las parcelas de estudio (P < 0.001); las parcelas con manejo tuvieron mayor cobertura de zacates y menor cobertura de plantas leñosas que las parcelas sin manejo. En los periodos de reconocimiento de 5 minutos, observamos más (P < 0.001) aves las parcelas sin manejo que en las segadas o tratadas con el regulador de crecimiento. Observamos más (P < 0.001) venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus) en las parcelas segadas que en las parcelas control o con regulador de crecimiento vegetal. Capturamos 13 pequeños mamíferos en las parcelas sin manejo y ninguno en las parcelas manejadas. En nuestro estudio, la aplicación del regulador de crecimiento vegetal, en relación a la siega, no fue una alternativa efectiva en términos de costos para manejar la altura de la vegetación. Las prácticas de manejo de la altura de la vegetación alteraron las comunidades vegetales y el uso de las áreas de pastizal por los animales; pero pudieran ser útiles para lograr objetivos de manejo de hábitat de especies específicas.

AB  - Selective grazing can modify the productive capacity of rangelands by reducing competitiveness of productive, palatable species and increasing the composition of more grazing-resistant species. A grazing system (season-long and short-duration rotational grazing) x stocking rate (light: 16 steers ⋅ 80 ha-1, moderate: 4 steers ⋅ 12 ha-1 and heavy: 4 steers ⋅ 9 ha-1) study was initiated in 1982 on northern mixed-grass prairie. Here, we report on the final 16 years of this study (1991-21106). Spring (April + May + June) precipitation explained at least 54% of the variation in peak standing crop. The percentage of variation explained by spring precipitation was similar between stocking rates with short-duration grazing but decreased with increasing stocking rate for season-long grazing. April precipitation explained the greatest percentage of the variation in peak standing crop for the light stocking rate (45%), May precipitation for the moderate stocking rate (49%), and June precipitation for the heavy stocking rate (34%). Peak standing crop was 23%-29% greater with light (1 495 ± 66 kg ⋅ ha-1 mean ± 1 SE) compared to moderate (1 218 ± 64 kg ⋅ ha-1) and heavy (1 156 ± 56 kg ⋅ ha -1) stocking rates, which did not differ. Differences in peak standing crop among stocking rates occurred during average and wet but not dry springs. Neither the interaction of grazing system and stocking rate nor grazing system alone affected standing crop across all years or dry, average, or wet springs. Grazing-induced modification of productive capacity in this northern mixed-grass prairie is attributed to changes in species composition with increasing stocking rate as the less productive, warm-season shortgrass blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis [H.B.K.] Lag. ex Griffiths) increases at the expense of more productive, cool-season midheight grasses. Land managers may need to substantially modify management to offset these losses in productive capacity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El apacentamiento selectivo puede modificar la capacidad productiva de los pastizales al reducir la competitividad de las especies productivas y apetecibles e incrementar la composición de especies más resistentes al apacentamiento. En 1982 se inició un estudio en las praderas de zacates mixtos del norte, en el que se evaluó un sistema de apacentamiento (continuo y rotacional de corta duración) en combinación con cargas animal (ligera 16 novillos ⋅ 80 ha-1, moderado 4 novillos ⋅ 12 ha-1, y alta 4 novillos. 9 ha-1). Aquí, reportamos el final de este estudio de 16 años (1991-2006). La precipitación de primavera (abril + mayo + junio) explicó al menos 54% de la variación de la producción pico de la biomasa en pie El porcentaje de variación explicado por la precipitación de primavera, fue similar entre cargas animal en el apacentamiento de corta duración, pero disminuyó al incrementar la carga animal en el sistema de apacentamiento continuo. La precipitación de abril explicó el mayor porcentaje de la variación del pico de producción de la biomasa en pie en la carga animal ligera (45%), la precipitación de mayo para la carga animal moderada (49%), y la de junio para la carga pesada (34%). El pico de la biomasa en pie fue 23%-29% mayor con la carga ligera (1 495 ± 66 kg ⋅ ha-1, media ± 1 DE) en comparación con las cargas moderada (1 218 ± 64 kg ⋅ ha-1) y alta (1 156 ± 56 kg ⋅ ha-1), las cuales no fueron diferentes. En primaveras con lluvia promedio o superior a este, se registraron diferencias entre cargas animal en el pico de la biomasa en pie y lo que no ocurrió en las primaveras secas. Ni la interacción entre sistema de apacentamiento y carga animal, ni el sistema de apacentamiento solo afectó la biomasa a través de todos los años, o en las primaveras secas, promedio o húmedas. La modificación inducida por el apacentamiento en la capacidad productiva de esta pradera de zacates mixtos del norte, es atribuida a cambios en la composición de especies al incrementar la carga animal; ya que zacates menos productivos, como el zacate de verano "Blue grama" (Bouteloua gracilis [H.B.K.] Lag. ex Griffiths), aumentan a expensas de los zacates medianos de invierno más productivos. Los manejadores pueden necesitar modificar substancialmente el manejo para sobreponer estas pérdidas de la capacidad productiva. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, volatile compounds, and postharvest quality of strawberry fruit were evaluated after storage in high oxygen atmospheres (40, 60, 80, and 100 kPa) during 14 days at 5 °C. Strawberries stored at high oxygen atmospheres showed higher antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, less decay, and longer postharvest life than those stored in air. Fruit stored under high oxygen atmospheres generally emitted lower levels of volatile compounds than those stored in air. However, individual volatile compounds were affected differently. While the emission of most volatiles decreased under high oxygen atmospheres during storage, the production of some volatile compounds such as methyl acetate and methyl hexanoate increased. In conclusion, strawberries stored under superatmospheric oxygen conditions maintained higher levels of antioxidant capacity but retained lower levels of volatile production than those stored in air.

AB  - Stable isotopes can be used to elucidate ecological relationships in community and trophic studies. Findings are calibrated against baselines, e.g. from a producer or primary consumer, assumed to act as a reference to the isotopic context created by spatio-temporal attributes such as geography, climate, nutrient, and energy sources. The ability of an organism to accurately represent a community base depends on how, and over what time-scale, it assimilates ambient materials. Freshwater mussels have served as references for trophic studies of freshwater communities and as indicators of change in nutrient pollution load or source. Their suitability as reference animals has not yet been fully explored, however. We conducted a series of studies examining the suitability of freshwater mussels as isotopic baselines, using their ability to reflect variation in ambient nutrient loads as a case scenario. (1) We analyzed bivalve foot tissue δ15N and δ13C from 22 stream reaches in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, USA to show that compositions varied substantially among locations. Site mean bivalve δ13C values correlated with site ambient particulate organic matter (POM) δ13C values, and site mean bivalve δ15N values correlated with site ambient water dissolved δ15N-NO3 values. (2) Similarity of results among sample types demonstrated that the minimally invasive hemolymph sample is a suitable substitute for foot tissue in δ15N analyses, and that small sample sizes generate means representative of a larger population. Both findings can help minimize the impact of sampling on imperiled freshwater mussel populations. (3) In a bivalve transplantation study we showed that hemolymph δ15N compositions responded to a shift in ambient dissolved δ15N-NO3, although slowly. The tissue turnover time for bivalve hemolymph was 113 days. We conclude that bivalves serve best as biomonitors of chronic, rather than acute, fluctuations in stream nutrient loads, and provide initial evidence of their suitability as time-integrated isotopic baselines for community studies.

AB  - The apple ermine moth, Yponomeuta malinellus Zeller (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), is a tent caterpillar that feeds on Malus spp. in Korea. Populations of the moth in native areas appeared to be regulated by the assemblage of parasitoids. Phenological associations between host stages and parasitoids, susceptible stage(s) of the host for each parasitoid, and stage-specific parasitism were studied. The egg larval parasitoid Ageniaspis fuscicollis (Dalman) had highest parasitism of first instar larvae (24%), with 14% parasitism of other larval stages. Dolichogenidea delecta (Haliday) was recovered from all larval instars with the highest parasitism rate of second instar larvae (20.1%), followed by 19.9% parasitism of mid-larval hosts. Herpestomus brunicornis Gravenhorst was reared from second instar larvae through to pupal collection, and had the highest parasitism rate (29.9%) at the pupal stage. The larval pupal parasitoid Zenillia dolosa (Meigen) was recovered from mid-larval to pupal stages with the highest parasitism rate (5.5%) occurring in third to fourth instar larvae. The host stages for developing A. fuscicollis completely overlap with those of D. delecta, and with those of H. brunicornis to some degree. A statistically significant negative correlation exists between A. fuscicollis and these dominant parasitoids, indicating competitive interaction within the host. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wildfire can influence a variety of stream ecosystem properties. We studied stream temperatures in relation to wildfire in small streams in the Boise River Basin, located in central Idaho, USA. To examine the spatio-temporal aspects of temperature in relation to wildfire, we employed three approaches: a pre–post fire comparison of temperatures between two sites (one from a burned stream and one unburned) over 13 years, a short-term (3 year) pre–post fire comparison of a burned and unburned stream with spatially extensive data, and a short-term (1 year) comparative study of spatial variability in temperatures using a “space for time” substitutive design across 90 sites in nine streams (retrospective comparative study). The latter design included streams with a history of stand-replacing wildfire and streams with severe post-fire reorganization of channels due to debris flows and flooding. Results from these three studies indicated that summer maximum water temperatures can remain significantly elevated for at least a decade following wildfire, particularly in streams with severe channel reorganization. In the retrospective comparative study we investigated occurrence of native rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) and tailed frog larvae ( Ascaphus montanus) in relation to maximum stream temperatures during summer. Both occurred in nearly every site sampled, but tailed frog larvae were found in much warmer water than previously reported in the field (26.6°C maximum summer temperature). Our results show that physical stream habitats can remain altered (for example, increased temperature) for many years following wildfire, but that native aquatic vertebrates can be resilient. In a management context, this suggests wildfire may be less of a threat to native species than human influences that alter the capacity of stream-living vertebrates to persist in the face of natural disturbance.

AB  - My research investigates the relationship between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and lung function in children. I test the sensitivity of ETS exposure in children to cigarette prices using state-level variation in cigarette excise taxes. I use an instrumental variables (IVs) approach to estimate the effect of ETS on lung function. Results indicate that ETS exposure is sensitive to taxes: Elasticity of exposure with respect to taxes ranges from −0.62 to −1.11. For the outcome-forced expiratory volume measured in the first second of breath, I find that having one smoker in the household reduces lung function by 1.4 percent; having a second smoker increases the deficit to 2.5 percent.

AB  - This study proposes a linear two-stage approach to derive prices of observations when reported consumption is zero. In the first stage, demand equations are estimated using an ad hoc filling of unobserved prices. Then, each estimated demand equation is solved for price and a numerical estimate of the price, which drives consumption to zero, referred to as the choke price, is calculated. The demand equations are re-estimated with the choke-price series replacing the initial ad hoc prices. Although differing claims can be made on the appropriateness of the chosen method for filling prices, we demonstrate significant differences in statistical fit of the demand model and own-price demand elasticities among alternative approaches.

AB  - Dynamic effects of health and inter-state and inter-industry knowledge spillovers, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth and convergence in US agriculture are examined using recently developed procedures for panel data and a growth accounting model. Strong evidence is found to support the hypothesis that TFP converges to a steady state. Health care supply in rural areas and research spillovers from other states and from nonagricultural sectors are found to have significant impacts on the productivity growth rate in both the short and the long run. These results suggest a richer set of opportunities for policy makers to enhance productivity growth than previously considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Iron status and dietary correlates of iron status have not been well described in Hispanic older adults of Caribbean origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate iron status and describe dietary components and correlates of iron status in Hispanic older adults and in a neighborhood-based comparison group of non-Hispanic white older adults. Six hundred four Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adults (59-91 y of age) from the Massachusetts Hispanic Elders Study were included in the analysis. We examined physiological markers of iron status as well as dietary factors in relation to iron status. Dietary intake was assessed by FFQ. Our results revealed that Hispanics had significantly lower geometric mean serum ferritin (74.1 µg/L vs. 100 µg/L; P&lt;0.001), lower hemoglobin concentrations (137±13 vs. 140±12 g/L; P&lt;0.01), higher prevalence of anemia (11.5 vs. 7.3%; P&lt;0.05), and suboptimal hemoglobin concentrations (&lt;125 g/L) for this age group (21.4 vs. 13.3%; P&lt;0.05). Iron deficiency anemia was higher (7.2% vs. 2.3%; P&lt;0.05) in Hispanic women. Hispanics had lower mean intakes of total iron, vitamin C, supplemental vitamin C, and total calcium than did non-Hispanic whites. After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, alcohol use, smoking, total energy intake, inflammation, diabetes, and liver disease, intake of heme iron from red meat was positively associated and dietary calcium was negatively associated with serum ferritin. This population of Hispanic older adults was significantly more likely than their non-Hispanic white neighbors to suffer from anemia and poor iron status, particularly among women. Cultural variation in dietary patterns may influence iron availability and body iron stores and contribute to an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia among some Hispanic older adults.

N2  - Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is routinely used to identify wheat endosperm proteins. In this method, peptide fragmentation patterns generated by MS/MS are identified using a 'search engine' to compare the spectra to those generated in silico from protein sequence databases. Trypsin is a commonly employed enzyme as it produces peptides that give good fragmentation patterns in the mass spectrometer. Gliadins and glutenins, however, are difficult to distinguish because they have a small number of cleavable tryptic sites and have very similar sequences, including repetitive motifs rich in proline and glutamine. Often glutenins and gliadins yield only one or two tryptic peptides that provide enough significant information for identification by MS/MS analysis. To address these problems we used enzymes with cleavage specificities different from trypsin. Preliminary results suggest that the number of peptides generated and detected is increased. All gel electrophoresis bands tested with trypsin gave identifiable fragments by electrospray ionization (ESI) MS/MS. Chymotrypsin yielded fewer fragments than trypsin while thermolysin produced fragments that allowed identification of the highly similar low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS). This approach increased the number of peptides generated and detected. The improved MS analysis increased the confidence of MS/MS identifications of the glutenins and should similarly improve the identification of the gliadins.

N2  - Adequate nutrient intake is critical in the maintenance of normal physiologic activity of rodents in biomedical studies. Vitamin K is an essential nutrient in rodent diets and functions as a cofactor for the γ-carboxylation of various proteins involved in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. Several forms of vitamin K are used in rodent diets, with a shift during the last decade towards the use of phylloquinone, the predominant form in human diets, and a concomitant increase in concentrations. This review summarizes current recommendations for vitamin K in rodent diets relative to our evolving knowledge about this fat-soluble vitamin.

N2  - The recent success that the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service has had in 2003 and 2004 of reversing the steadily increasing trend in Class 1 recalls is welcomed. In agreement with those statistics are the FSIS microbiological results for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in raw ground beef, which also showed a decrease in 2003. But there is much work to be done in food safety and much more to achieve. It is imperative that while addressing food safety issues, we should understand the role that environmental microbiology, public health epidemiology, aerobiology, molecular microbial ecology, occupational health, industrial processes, municipal water quality, and animal health have on food safety. Although it is a difficult task, a concerted effort by industry, academe and governmental researchers can accomplish the goal. Here, we discuss the future directions and applications in the distribution and spread of foodborne hazards, methods for microbial detection and differentiation, intervention strategies for farm pathogen reduction, targeting waste at animal production sites, considerations on antimicrobial resistance, food safety storage and preparation strategies, food irradiation, new and emerging food safety hazards, and quantitative microbial food safety risk assessment. Although this does not comprise an exhaustive list of food safety issues, these are the areas that, we think, require considerable attention by researchers. Not only do we need to strive to improve food safety through new strategies, processes, and applications, but we also need to be flexible and observant to readily handle the new and emerging food safety problems, whether they are within our borders or global. At present, the USA has one of the safest food safety systems in place. However, although this is not a time for complacency, our research endeavors should be designed to keep pace with the food safety needs of the future.

N2  - Microbial risk assessment (MRA) is used to evaluate foodborne hazards, the likelihood of exposure to those hazards, and the resulting public health impact. It is generally recognized to consist of four parts: hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Model predictions generated by MRAs are most often expressed as the estimated likelihood of foodborne illness and/or number of deaths in a given population for a given period. MRA is used increasingly to inform decision-making aimed both at managing human health risks from foodborne pathogens and at devising standards for promoting safe and fair international food trade. This chapter discusses how MRA fits into the larger context of risk analysis, describes in detail the process of MRA, reviews examples of recently completed MRAs for Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli, and suggests steps towards further improvement of the MRA process.

N2  - Foodborne illness is a major public health concern for both the meat and the poultry industries in the USA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture' Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the agency that regulates the industry. FSIS introduced the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Program as a means to allow flexibility in process design and control and to reduce foodborne pathogens in the food chain. This chapter will examine the historical changes brought by HACCP to evaluate the effectiveness of HACCP in controlling or reducing the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes on meat and poultry products, and explore the future of pathogen reduction in the meat and the poultry industries.

N2  - The self-metathesis reaction of soy, rapeseed, tall, and linseed oil fatty acids was investigated for the synthesis of symmetrical long-chain unsaturated-α,ω-dicarboxylic acids. The metathesis reactions were carried out in the presence of a Grubbs catalyst under solvent-free condition at a catalyst loading of 0.01 mol% to fatty acid substrate at 50°C. Under these conditions, the conversions of starting unsaturated acids to metathesis products were &gt;80% and the isolated yields of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid products were &gt;70% of theoretical. This approach represents an effective and efficient route for the synthesis of these potentially useful dicarboxylic acids since they can serve as important intermediates in the production of several materials such as biodegradable polymers.

N2  - Starting from 17-hydroxyoleic acid, which is readily available from acid alcoholysis of sophorolipids, several new polyhydroxy fatty acids have been synthesized. These compounds contain from 2 to 4 hydroxy groups, in some instances combined with other functional groups. The added hydroxy groups can be incorporated in the C18 chain in a variety of geometries, for example spaced widely throughout the chain at C1, C8, and C17. This regiochemical control will be of use in structure/function studies involving materials constructed from these hydroxy fatty acids. A further benefit is that the hydroxy groups can be present in protected or free states. The principal reactions used to introduce extra hydroxy groups are selenium oxide-mediated allylic hydroxylation, osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation, and borohydride reduction of a carboxylic ester. These new compounds are expected to be of use in a number of areas, but particularly as building blocks for polymers or components of lubricant formulations.

N2  - Carbonates (esters of carbonic acid H2CO3) are a class of compounds that are of increasing interest in commercial applications due to their physical properties and relatively straightforward synthesis. Herein, oleyl carbonate, an oleochemical-based compound derived from oleyl alcohol, was epoxidized utilizing performic acid generated in situ from formic acid and 50% H2O2. The reaction proceeded smoothly and furnished the corresponding oleyl carbonate bisepoxide, (bis[8-(3-octyloxiran-2-yl)octyl] carbonate), in good yields (83-85% isolated yields after purification by silica gel chromatography). The carbonate moiety was found stable to the reaction conditions utilized for epoxidation and the isolated oleyl carbonate bisepoxide was subsequently characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Oleyl carbonate bisepoxide compound may be of potential interest as a plasticizer, monomer, or a substance for further chemical elaboration.

N2  - Background: Tristetraprolin (TTP/ZFP36) family proteins have anti-inflammatory activity by binding to and destabilizing pro-inflammatory mRNAs such as Tnf mRNA, and represent a potential therapeutic target for inflammation-related diseases. Tea has anti-inflammatory properties but the molecular mechanisms have not been completely elucidated. We hypothesized that TTP and/or its homologues might contribute to the beneficial effects of tea as an anti-inflammatory product. Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was used to investigate the effects of green tea (0, 1, and 2 g solid extract/kg diet) on the expression of Ttp family genes (Ttp/Tis11/Zfp36, Zfp36l1/Tis11b, Zfp36l2/Tis11d, Zfp36l3), pro-inflammatory genes (Tnf, Csf2/Gm-csf, Ptgs2/Cox2), and Elavl1/Hua/Hur and Vegf genes in liver and muscle of rats fed a high-fructose diet known to induce insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, and TNF-alpha levels. Results: Ttp and Zfp36l1 mRNAs were the major forms in both liver and skeletal muscle. Ttp, Zfp36l1, and Zfp36l2 mRNA levels were more abundant in the liver than those in the muscle. Csf2/Gm-csf and Zfp36l3 mRNAs were undetectable in both tissues. Tea (1 g solid extract/kg diet) increased Ttp mRNA levels by 50-140% but Tnf mRNA levels decreased by 30% in both tissues, and Ptgs2/Cox2 mRNA levels decreased by 40% in the muscle. Tea (2 g solid extract/kg diet) increased Elavl1/Hua/Hur mRNA levels by 40% in the liver but did not affect any of the other mRNA levels in liver or muscle. Conclusion: These results show that tea can modulate Ttp mRNA levels in animals and suggest that a post-transcriptional mechanism through TTP could partially account for tea's anti-inflammatory properties. The results also suggest that drinking adequate amounts of green tea may play a role in the prevention of inflammation-related diseases.

N2  - Background: Apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) plays an ambiguous role in lipid metabolism, obesity, and atherosclerosis. Methods: We studied the association between a functional APOA2 promoter polymorphism (-265T &gt; C) and plasma lipids (fasting and postprandial), anthropometric variables, and food intake in 514 men and 564 women who participated in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study. We obtained fasting and postprandial (after consuming a high-fat meal) measures. We measured lipoprotein particle concentrations by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and estimated dietary intake by use of a validated questionnaire. Results: We observed recessive effects for this polymorphism that were homogeneous by sex. Individuals homozygous for the -265C allele had statistically higher body mass index (BMI) than did carriers of the T allele. Consistently, after multivariate adjustment, the odds ratio for obesity in CC individuals compared with T allele carriers was 1.70 (95% CI 1.02-2.80, P=0.039). Interestingly, total energy intake in CC individuals was statistically higher [mean (SE) 9371 (497) vs 8456 (413) kJ/d, P=0.005] than in T allele carriers. Likewise, total fat and protein intakes (expressed in grams per day) were statistically higher in CC individuals (P=0.002 and P=0.005, respectively). After adjustment for energy, percentage of carbohydrate intake was statistically lower in CC individuals. These associations remained statistically significant even after adjustment for BMI. We found no associations with fasting lipids and only some associations with HDL subfraction distribution in the postprandial state. Conclusions: The -265T &gt; C polymorphism is consistently associated with food consumption and obesity, suggesting a new role for APOA2 in regulating dietary intake.

N2  - The flavonoids and the terpene lactones are regarded as the two main active components of Ginkgo biloba that affect human health. In the work discussed in this paper, two analytical methods for the characterization of G. biloba authentic materials and commercial products, an LC-UV chromatographic fingerprinting method and a traditional flavonol quantification method, were compared. The traditional method was used to determine the total flavonol content (as glycosides) after acid hydrolysis. The fingerprinting method examined the chromatographic profiles of methanol-water extracts using chemometric methods. The traditional method showed that all the commercial products met the current voluntary standard of 24% flavonols by weight. The chromatographic fingerprinting method revealed significant variations in the commercial products with regard to the relative concentration of individual flavonols.

N2  - Background: Portion size influences children's energy intakes at meals, but effects on daily intake are unknown. Objective: Effects of large portions on daily energy intake were tested in 5-y-old Hispanic and African American children from low-income families. Maternal food intake data were collected to evaluate familial susceptibility to portion size. Design: A within-subjects experimental design with reference and large portion sizes was used in a study of 59 low-income Hispanic and African American preschool-aged children and their mothers. The portion size of 3 entrées (lunch, dinner, and breakfast) and an afternoon snack served during a 24-h period were of a reference size in one condition and doubled in the other condition. Portion sizes of other foods and beverages did not vary across conditions. Weighed food intake, anthropometric measures, and self-reported data were obtained. Results: Doubling the portion size of several entrées and a snack served during a 24-h period increased energy intake from those foods by 23% (180 kcal) among children (P&lt;0.0001) and by 21% (270 kcal) among mothers (P&lt;0.0001). Child and maternal energy intakes from other foods for which portion size was not altered did not differ across conditions. Consequently, total energy intakes in the large-portion condition were 12% (P&lt;0.001) and 6% (P&lt;0.01) higher in children and mothers, respectively, than in the reference condition. Child and maternal intakes of the portion-manipulated foods were not correlated. Conclusions: Large portions may contribute to obesigenic dietary environments by promoting excess daily intakes among Hispanic and African American children.

N2  - Background: The hospitalization rate for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in the USA has recently decreased. This study examined which demographic groups were affected and whether there were any changes in medical care that might explain the decrease. Methods: Information about hospitalizations for GBS was obtained from the 1993-2004 annual Nationwide Inpatient Sample and used to estimate hospitalization rates and the medical characteristics of hospitalized GBS patients. Results: The GBS hospitalization rate decreased 20.1% (95% CI 18.3-21.9%) between 1993 and 2004. Most groups were affected by the decrease except persons aged 18-44 years. There were several changes in medical care during the period, including a reduction in interhospital transfers and a shift from plasmapheresis to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy. Conclusions: The reduction in transfers accounted for about one-fourth of the decrease in the GBS hospitalization rate, and may have been related to the shift from plasmapheresis to IVIg therapy. The other causes of the decrease are unknown.

N2  - Objective - To assess whether interview mode (telephone vs. in-person) affects the results of surveys that measure food security. Design - Responses given by households interviewed by telephone and in-person in recent US Current Population Survey Food Security Supplements (CPS-FSS) were compared. Statistical methods based on the Rasch measurement model were used to assess whether response patterns differed between the two interview modes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was then used to gauge the effect of interview mode on the measured household prevalence rates of food insecurity and very low food security while controlling for income, employment, household structure, and other household characteristics that affect food security. Results - Response patterns to the indicators that comprise the food security scale did not differ substantially between interview modes. Prevalence rates of food insecurity and very low food security estimated from the two interview modes differed by only small proportions after accounting for differences in the socio-economic characteristics of households. Conclusions - Findings suggest that effects of interview mode on food security measurement in the CPS-FSS are small, or at most modest. Prevalence estimates may be biased upwards somewhat for households interviewed in-person compared with those interviewed by telephone. The extent to which these results can be generalised may depend, to some extent, on survey characteristics other than interview mode, such as surveyor name recognition and respondents' trust and confidence in the surveyor.

N2  - Background: Cross-sectional studies indicate that diets that provide a higher dietary glycemic index (dGI) are associated with a greater risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). No prospective studies have addressed this issue. Objective: The objective was to prospectively evaluate the effect of baseline dGI on the progression of AMD. Design: dGI was calculated as the weighted average of GIs from foods and was evaluated as being above or below the sex median (women: 77.9; men: 79.3) for 3977 participants aged 55-80 y (58% women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study. The 7232 eligible eyes without advanced AMD were classified into 1 of 3 AMD categories: group 1 (nonextensive small drusen), group 2 (intermediate drusen, extensive small drusen, or pigmentary abnormalities), or group 3 (large drusen or extensive intermediate drusen). With the use of multifailure Cox proportional-hazards regression, we modeled the time to the maximal progression to evaluate the relation between dGI and the risk of AMD. Results: Overall, the multivariate-adjusted risk of progression over 8 y of follow-up (x: 5.4 y) was significantly higher (risk ratio: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.20; P=0.047) in the high-dGI group than in the low-dGI group. The risk of progression for groups 1, 2, and 3 eyes was 5%, 8%, and 17% greater, respectively (P for trend &lt;0.001). The latter gives an estimate that 7.8% of new advanced AMD cases would be prevented in 5 y if people consumed the low-dGI diet. Conclusion: Persons at risk of AMD progression, especially those at high risk of advanced AMD, may benefit from consuming a smaller amount of refined carbohydrates.

N2  - Background: The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Index (DGAI) was created to assess adherence to the dietary recommendations of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) in relation to chronic disease risk. Objective: The objective was to assess the relation between dietary patterns consistent with the 2005 DGA as measured by the DGAI and both the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and individual MetS risk factors. Design: DGAI scores and metabolic risk factors for MetS were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 3177 participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. MetS was defined on the basis of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Results: After adjustment for potential confounders, the DGAI score was inversely related to waist circumference (P for trend &lt;0.001), triacylglycerol concentration (P for trend=0.005), both diastolic (P for trend=0.002) and systolic (P for trend=0.01) blood pressure, the prevalence of abdominal adiposity (P for trend &lt;0.001), and hyperglycemia (P for trend=0.03). The prevalence of MetS was significantly lower in individuals in the highest DGAI quintile category than in those in the lowest category (odds ratio: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.88; P for trend=0.005) when those being treated for any of the risk factors were excluded. There was a significant interaction between DGAI score and age; the association between the DGAI score and MetS was confined largely to adults younger than 55 y (odds ratio: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.92; P for trend &lt;0.01). Conclusions: A dietary pattern consistent with the 2005 DGA was associated with a lower prevalence of MetS - a potential risk factor for CVD.

N2  - Background: Zinc plays an important role in immune function. The association between serum zinc and pneumonia in the elderly has not been studied. Objective: The objective was to determine whether serum zinc concentrations in nursing home elderly are associated with the incidence and duration of pneumonia, total and duration of antibiotic use, and pneumonia-associated and all-cause mortality. Design: This observational study was conducted in residents from 33 nursing homes in Boston, MA, who participated in a 1-y randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled vitamin E supplementation trial; all were given daily doses of 50% of the recommended dietary allowance of essential vitamins and minerals, including zinc. Participants with baseline (n=578) or final (n=420) serum zinc concentrations were categorized as having low (&lt;70 µg/dL) or normal (≥70 µg/dL) serum zinc concentrations. Outcome measures included the incidence and number of days with pneumonia, number of new antibiotic prescriptions, days of antibiotic use, death due to pneumonia, and all-cause mortality. Results: Compared with subjects with low zinc concentrations, subjects with normal final serum zinc concentrations had a lower incidence of pneumonia, fewer (by almost 50%) new antibiotic prescriptions, a shorter duration of pneumonia, and fewer days of antibiotic use (3.9 d compared with 2.6 d) (P≤0.004 for all). Normal baseline serum zinc concentrations were associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality (P=0.049). Conclusion: Normal serum zinc concentrations in nursing home elderly are associated with a decreased incidence and duration of pneumonia, a decreased number of new antibiotic prescriptions, and a decrease in the days of antibiotic use. Zinc supplementation to maintain normal serum zinc concentrations in the elderly may help reduce the incidence of pneumonia and associated morbidity.

N2  - Background: Low intakes of calcium are associated with an increased risk of both osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Objective: To provide new estimates of the average calcium requirement for men and women, we determined the dietary calcium intake required to maintain neutral calcium balance. Design: Calcium balance data [calcium intake - (fecal calcium + urinary calcium)] were collected from 155 subjects [women: n=73; weight: 77.1±18.5 kg; age: 47.0±18.5 y (range: 20-75 y); men: n=82; weight: 76.6±12.5 kg; age: 28.2±7.7 y (range: 19-64 y)] who participated in 19 feeding studies conducted in a metabolic unit. Balance data from the final 6-12 d of each dietary period (minimum length:18 d) of each study (1-9 observations per subject) were analyzed. Data were excluded if individual intakes of magnesium, copper, iron, phosphorus, or zinc fell below the estimated average requirements or exceeded the 99th percentile of usual intakes from the 1994 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (for iron, above the upper limit). Daily intakes of calcium ranged between 415 and 1740 mg. The relation between intake and output was examined by fitting random coefficient models. Coefficients were included to test for sex and age differences. Results: The models predicted a neutral calcium balance [defined as calcium output (Y) equal to calcium intake (C)] at intakes of 741 mg/d [95% prediction interval (PI): 507, 1035; Y=148.29 + 0.80C], 9.4 mg . kg body wt-1 . d-1 [95% PI: 6.4, 12.9; Y=1.44 + 0.85C], or 0.28 mg . kcal-1 . d-1 [95% PI: 0.19, 0.38; Y=0.051 + 0.816C]. Neither age nor sex affected the estimates when calcium intakes were expressed as mg/d or as mg.kg body wt-1 . d-1. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the calcium requirement for men and women is lower than previously estimated.

N2  - Background: Although nutritionally dispensable amino acids are not essential in the diet, adequate synthesis is necessary for maintenance of good health. Whereas children with edematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) can maintain production rates of glycine and serine despite a slower body protein breakdown rate, it is unknown whether the same is true for the semidispensable amino acid arginine. Objective: We aimed to measure arginine flux and intravascular nitric oxide synthesis in children with SCU. Design: Arginine flux and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of plasma nitrite plus nitrate were measured postabsorptively by using a 6-h infusion of [15N2]-arginine in 2 groups of children with edematous (n=14) or nonedematous (n=7) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (postadmission day 3; clinical phase 1), when they were no longer infected (postadmission day 15; clinical phase 2), and when they were recovered (postadmission day 55; clinical phase 3). Results: Arginine flux was slower (P&lt;0.01) and plasma arginine concentrations were lower in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group at clinical phase 1. At clinical phase 2, flux doubled to a value that was not significantly different from the value at clinical phase 3. There were no significant differences in the plasma concentration or fractional or absolute synthesis rate of plasma nitrite plus nitrate between the groups at any clinical phase and among clinical phases within each group. Conclusion: Whereas children with nonedematous SCU can maintain arginine flux at the same rate as when recovered, children with edematous SCU cannot. The slower arginine flux was not, however, associated with slower nitric oxide synthesis.

N2  - Background: Fortification of the diet with folate has been used in the United States since 1997 to prevent neural tube defects in newborn babies. However, an increase in dietary folate intake could theoretically reduce the effectiveness of the anti-folate medication, methotrexate (MTX) in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory diseases. Objective: To investigate whether dietary fortification with folic acid interferes with MTX function in patients with RA. Methods: We computed MTX dose per patient per year for the years 1988 to 1999 and plotted these against time, comparing the overall mean MTX dose before and after 1997, when dietary fortification with folic acid was instituted in the USA. Thirty-six subjects met eligibility criteria. Results: Mean annual MTX dose was stable between 1988 and 1996 (12.4±4.0 mg), but then rose linearly from 1997 to 1999 (16.6±5.1 mg, p&lt;0.001). Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that folic acid supplementation may contribute to higher MTX dosing in patients with RA.

N2  - Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death among older Americans. Many of the chronic health conditions that result in the loss of independence, disability, and reduced quality of life in older adults are preventable through healthful lifestyle including proper nutrition. Household income is a major economic factor that impacts food choices and nutritional status of individuals. The study examines the socioeconomic characteristics of adults, 60 years and older, and assesses the correlations between household income and food choices and nutritional status of adults. Adults (n=2675) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 to 2002, were grouped into 1 of the 3 household income categories: low income (&lt;131% poverty), medium income (131%-350% of poverty), and high income (&gt;350% of poverty). Their sociodemographic characteristics and unadjusted mean nutrient and MyPyramid food group intakes were estimated. Multiple regression models were used to control for age and sex variability in mean estimations. Pairwise (t tests) mean comparisons were made among the income groups, at a priori α=.05 level of significance. Survey design effects were used in the analyses. There were 24.9%, 43.0%, and 32.1% adults in low-, medium-, and high-income groups, respectively. Only 77% of low-income adults were fully food-secure. Compared with medium- and high-income groups, the low-income group had a higher proportion of women (66.9%), Hispanics (20.1%) or non-Hispanic blacks (11.4%), adults having less than high-school-level education (34.2%), and adults who were widowed (40.6%) or divorced (12.1%). After controlling for age and sex, low-income adults consumed 526 kJ less than medium-income adults and 1050 kJ less than high-income adults. Lower proportion of low-income adults ate at or above the Adequate Intake or Estimated Average Intake levels for many micronutrients. They ate less fruit, vegetables, milk, meat, poultry, and fish than high-income adults. Older minority women living in low-income households are in urgent need for food assistance and nutrition intervention programs.

N2  - Chemical lures can enhance the ability of traps to collect mosquitoes, selectively target species for capture, and provide a realistic assessment of the species and host-equivalent numbers of mosquitoes present in the local area. One approach to the development of chemical lures is to manufacture blends that comprise odors released in human emanations. These blends need to be safe for use in the environment, desirable from an economic standpoint, and transportable to the field for use in traps. In this report, we compared the attraction of mosquitoes to various chemicals, blends, and odors from humans. Noncompetitive (single-treatment) bioassays established that some blends are equivalent or more attractive to Aedes aegypti than human odors. Competitive bioassays were conducted; these involved simultaneous comparison of 2 treatments: single compounds to binary blends; binary blends to a trinary blend of L-lactic acid, acetone, and dimethyl disulfide; and the trinary blend to human odors from 3 volunteers. The overall trend was that the trinary blend was more attractive than binary blends, and binary blends were more attractive than single compounds. However, human odors were still significantly more attractive than the trinary blend. Therefore, further modifications and refinements to blends will be needed to better compete against human odors.

N2  - Background: The Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) is a region at high risk of nutritionally related diseases. Assessing LMD diet quality is important in policy making, monitoring service outcomes, and designing sustainable research interventions. Objective: The purpose was to assess the diet quality of LMD adults by using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to (1) identify potential and needed interventions, (2) determine population subgroups needing special attention, and (3) compare regional intakes with national intakes. Design: Data were obtained from a representative cross-sectional telephone survey (n=1699), Foods of our Delta Study 2000, by using the US Department of Agriculture's multiple-pass 24-h recall methodology and random-digital-assisted dialing with selection of one adult per household. The diet quality of LMD adults was compared with that of white and African American adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999-2000. Results: Age, race, and income of LMD adults affected overall diet quality. African Americans had lower grain, vegetable, milk, and variety scores than did whites. The consumption of grains and vegetables was associated with lower odds ratios for being overweight. The LMD adults had a lower HEI score than did the adults in NHANES 1999-2000 (60.1 compared with 63.4), and more LMD adults ate a poor diet (24.8% compared with 18.3%). Conclusion: Low-income and young-adult households in the LMD are in need of nutrition interventions with an emphasis on increasing grain, fruit, and vegetable intakes. Because socioeconomic factors affect diet quality, a multimodal, longitudinal approach appears needed to improve nutritional health.

N2  - Background: Poor diet may affect bone status by displacing nutrients involved in bone health. Dihydrophylloquinone, a form of vitamin K present in foods made with partially hydrogenated fat, is a potential marker of a low-quality dietary pattern. Objective: Our objective was to examine the cross-sectional associations between dihydrophylloquinone intake and bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine in men and women. Design: Dihydrophylloquinone intake was estimated with a food-frequency questionnaire, and BMD (in g/cm2) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2544 men and women (mean age: 58.5 y) who had participated in the Framingham Offspring Study. General linear models were used to examine the associations between dihydrophylloquinone intake (in tertiles: &lt;15.5, 15.5-29.5, and &gt;29.5 µg/d) and hip and spine BMD after adjustment for age, body mass index, energy intake, calcium intake, vitamin D intake, smoking status, physical activity score, and, for women, menopause status and estrogen use. Results: Higher dihydrophylloquinone intakes were associated with lower mean BMD at the femoral neck [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 0.934 (0.925, 0.942), 0.927 (0.919, 0.935), and 0.917 (0.908, 0.926), P for trend=0.02], the trochanter [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 0.811 (0.802, 0.820), 0.805 (0.797, 0.813), and 0.795 (0.786, 0.804), P for trend=0.02], and the spine [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 1.250 (1.236, 1.264), 1.243 (1.242, 1.229), and 1.227 (1.213, 1.242), P for trend=0.03] in men and women after adjustment for the covariates. Further adjustment for markers of healthy and low-quality dietary patterns did not affect the observed associations. Conclusions: Higher dihydrophylloquinone intakes are associated with lower BMD in men and women. This association remains significant after adjustment for other markers of diet quality.

N2  - Background: An in vitro digestion and Caco-2 cell model may predict iron bioavailability to humans; however, direct comparisons are lacking. Objective: The objective was to test the differences in iron bioavailability between 2 maize varieties and 2 bean varieties (white beans and colored beans) by comparing human, Caco-2, and algorithm results. Design: Two randomized, 2×2 factorial experiments compared women's iron absorption from 2 maize varieties (ACR and TZB; n=26) and 2 bean varieties (great northern and pinto; n=13), each fed with and without ascorbic acid (AA) from orange juice. Nonheme iron bioavailability was determined from 2-wk retention of extrinsic radioiron tracers and was compared with Caco-2 cell and algorithm results from identical meals. Results: Without AA supplementation, women absorbed only about 2% of the iron from the maize or bean meals. The results were unaffected by the variety of either maize or beans. Adding AA (15-20 molar ratios of AA:iron) roughly tripled the iron absorption (P&lt;0.0001) from all test meals. Although the Caco-2 model predicted a slightly improved bioavailability of iron from ACR maize than from TZB maize (P&lt;0.05), it accurately predicted relative iron absorption from the maize meals. However, the Caco-2 model inaccurately predicted both a considerable difference between bean varieties (P&lt;0.0001) and a strong interaction between bean varieties and enhancement by AA (P&lt;0.0001). The algorithm method was more qualitatively than quantitatively useful and requires further development to accurately predict the influence of polyphenols on iron absorption. Conclusions: Caco-2 predictions confirmed human iron absorption results for maize meals but not for bean meals, and algorithm predictions were only qualitatively predictive.

N2  - Background: The effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the mean size and concentrations of VLDL, LDL, and HDL subclasses have not been previously studied. Objective: We determined the effects of DHA supplementation on the concentrations of apoproteins; large, medium, and small VLDL, LDL, and HDL particles; and the mean diameters of these particles in fasting and postprandial plasma. Design: Hypertriglyceridemic men aged 39-66 y (n=34) participated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel study. They received no supplements for the first 8 d and received either 7.5 g DHA oil/d (3 g DHA/d) or olive oil (placebo) for the last 90 d. Lipoprotein particle diameters and concentrations were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Results: DHA supplementation for 45 d significantly (P&lt;0.05) decreased concentrations of fasting triacylglycerol (24%), large VLDL (92%), and intermediate-density lipoproteins (53%) and the mean diameter of VLDL particles (11.1 nm). It elevated concentrations of LDL cholesterol (12.6%), small VLDL particles (133%), and large LDL particles (120%) and the mean diameter of LDL particles (0.6 nm) in fasting plasma. Similar changes were observed for area under the curve for postprandial samples (0-6 h); however, the number of small dense LDL particles decreased significantly (21%), and the change in LDL cholesterol was not significant. Continued supplementation with DHA beyond 45 d caused no further changes; placebo treatment altered none of the responses tested. Conclusion: DHA supplementation may improve cardiovascular health by lowering concentrations of triacylglycerols and small, dense LDL particles.

N2  - Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was evaluated as a rapid and environmentally benign technique for the simultaneous determination of macronutrients and energy in commercially available, packaged meals. Reflectance spectra (400-2498 nm) of homogenized meals were obtained with a dispersive NIR spectrometer. Protein and moisture were measured by AOAC reference methods, total fat by a semi-automated acid hydrolysis, solvent extraction, gravimetric method and total carbohydrate calculated. Energy was calculated using Atwater factors. Using multivariate analysis software, PLS models (n=113-115 products) were developed to relate NIR spectra of homogenized meals to the corresponding reference values. The models predicted components and energy in validation samples (n=37-38 products), overall, with r2 of above 0.96. Ratios of deviation to performance were between 3.6 and 6.6, and indicated adequacy of the models for screening, quality control, or process control. Performance of the models varied substantially when used to predict sub-groups of meals within the validation set.

N2  - Objective - To measure nutrient intake adequacy of vitamin/mineral supplement users and nonusers aged 51 years and older, determine the efficacy of supplement practices in compensating for dietary deficits, and identify predictors of supplement use. Design - Analyses of two 24-hour recalls, demographic variables, and attitude questions collected during the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and Diet and Health Knowledge Survey in 1994 to 1996. Data were weighted to be representative of older Americans. Subjects - Four thousand three hundred eighty-four adults aged 51 years and older (1,777 daily supplement users, 428 infrequent users, and 2,179 nonusers) residing in households in the United States. Statistical analyses - Usual nutrient intake distributions were estimated using the Iowa State University method. The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) cutpoint method was applied to determine the proportion of older adults not meeting requirements before and after accounting for nutrient intake from supplements. Student t tests were used to assess differences between users and nonusers. Logistic regression was used to determine sociodemographic and attitudinal predictors of supplement use. Results - For one or more of the sex-age groups studied, a significantly smaller proportion of supplement users than nonusers had intakes from food alone below the EAR for vitamins A, B-6, and C; folate; zinc; and magnesium. Even so, less than 50% of both users and nonusers met the EAR for folate, vitamin E, and magnesium from food sources alone. Overall, supplements improved the nutrient intake of older adults. After accounting for the contribution of supplements, 80% or more of users met the EAR for vitamins A, B-6, B-12, C, and E; folate; iron; and zinc, but not magnesium. However, some supplement users, particularly men, exceeded Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for iron and zinc and a small percentage of women exceeded the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for vitamin A. Significant sociodemographic factors related to supplement use for older men were age group, metropolitan area, and educational status. Race, region, smoking status, and vegetarian status were significant factors for women. Attitude about the importance of following a healthful diet was a consistent predictor of supplement use for both men and women. Conclusions - A large proportion of older adults do not consume sufficient amounts of many nutrients from foods alone. Supplements compensate to some extent, but only an estimated half of this population uses them daily. These widespread inadequacies should be considered when developing recommendations for supplement use for clients in this age group. Modifying dietary attitudes may result in a higher rate of supplement use in this at-risk population.

N2  - Background: Large portions of energy-dense foods are one feature of obesity-promoting dietary environments. Entrée portion size has been shown to influence energy intake at meals by young children. The role of energy density (ED) in children's response to portion size, however, is unknown. Objective: We aimed to test the effects of portion size and ED on children's food and energy intakes at a meal. Design: Participants were 53 (28 girls and 25 boys; 15 Hispanic, 20 black, 16 white, 2 other race) 5- to 6-y-old children [mean (±SD) body mass index percentile:=61±28]. A 2×2 within-subjects design was used to manipulate entrée portion size (250 compared with 500 g) and ED (1.3 compared with 1.8 kcal/g). Fixed portions of other familiar foods were provided. Weighed intake, food preference, and weight and height data were obtained. Results: Effects of portion size (P&lt;0.0001) and ED (P&lt;0.0001) on entrée energy intake were independent but additive. Energy intake from other foods at the meal did not vary across conditions. Compared with the reference portion size and ED condition, children consumed 76% more energy from the entrée and 34% more energy at the meal when served the larger, more energy-dense entrée. Effects did not vary by sex, age, entrée preference, or body mass index z score. Conclusions: These findings provide new evidence that portion size and ED act additively to promote energy intake at meals among preschool-aged children.

N2  - Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the major cause of irreversible blindness. AMD appears to share several carbohydrate-related mechanisms and risk factors with diabetes-related diseases, including retinopathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, to date, only one small study has addressed this issue. Objective: The objective was to test the hypothesis that dietary glycemic index (dGI), which has been related to the risk of diabetes and CVD, is associated with the risk and severity of AMD in nondiabetic elderly populations. Design: Dietary information was obtained from 4099 participants aged 55-80 y (56% women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). A total of 8125 eligible eyes at baseline were classified into 1 of 5 AMD groups according to the size and extent of drusen, the presence of geographic atrophy, and neovascular changes. We used a generalized estimating approach to evaluate the relations between dGI and risk and severity of AMD with eyes as the unit of analysis. Results: Compared with eyes in the first quintile of dGI, eyes in the fourth and fifth quintiles had a significantly or suggestively higher risk of large drusen, geographic atrophy, and neovascularization. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for the highest quintile were 1.42 (1.09, 1.84), 1.78 (0.81, 3.90), and 1.41 (0.95, 2.08), respectively, of which only the odds ratio for large drusen was significant. A significant positive relation between dGI and severity of AMD was also noted (P for trend &lt;0.001). There was a 49% increase in the risk of advanced AMD (geographic atrophy plus neovascularization) for persons with a dGI higher than the sex median (women: ≥77.9; men: ≥79.3). This result indicated that 20% of prevalent cases of AMD would have been eliminated if the AREDS participants consumed diets with a dGI below the median. Conclusion: The association between dGI and AMD from the AREDS cross-sectional analysis at baseline suggests that a reduction in the dGI, a modifiable risk factor, may provide a means of diminishing the risk of AMD.

N2  - Cinnamon improves glucose and lipid profiles of people with type 2 diabetes. Water-soluble cinnamon extract (CE) and HPLC-purified cinnamon polyphenols (CP) with doubly linked procyanidin type-A polymers display insulin-like activity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cinnamon on the protein and mRNA levels of insulin receptor (IR), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and tristetraprolin (TTP/ZFP36) in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Immunoblotting showed that CP increased IRβ levels and that both CE and CP increased GLUT4 and TTP levels in the adipocytes. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated that CE (100 µg/ml) rapidly increased TTP mRNA levels by approximately 6-fold in the adipocytes. CE at higher concentrations decreased IRβ protein and IR mRNA levels, and its effect on GLUT4 mRNA levels exhibited a biphasic pattern in the adipocytes. These results suggest that cinnamon exhibits the potential to increase the amount of proteins involved in insulin signaling, glucose transport, and anti-inflammatory/anti-angiogenesis response.

N2  - Objective: To determine whether or not dietary magnesium restriction to about 33% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) causes changes in glucose, cholesterol and electrolyte metabolism that could lead to pathologic consequences. Design: The length of the experiment was 136 days. Subjects were fed a basal Western-type diet that provided 4.16 mmol (101 mg) magnesium per 8.4 MJ (2000 kcal) for 78 days then replenished with magnesium by supplementing the diet with 200 mg magnesium as the gluconate per day for 58 days. If a subject exhibited adverse heart rhythm changes before 78 days of depletion were completed, she entered the repletion period early. Setting: The metabolic research unit of the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center. Subjects: A total of 14 post menopausal women were recruited by advertisement throughout the United States. Thirteen women (ages 47 to 75 years) completed the study. Results: During magnesium depletion, heart rhythm changes appeared in 5 women and resulted in 4 prematurely entering the magnesium repletion period (42 to 64 days of depletion instead of 78). Three women exhibited atrial fibrillation and flutter that responded quickly to magnesium supplementation. Magnesium deprivation resulted in a non-positive magnesium balance that became highly positive with magnesium repletion. Magnesium deprivation decreased red blood cell membrane magnesium, serum total cholesterol and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase concentrations, increased the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium, and increased serum glucose concentration. Conclusions: Magnesium balance may be a suitable indicator of magnesium depletion under experimental conditions. Magnesium deficiency resulting from feeding a diet that would not be considered having an atypical menu induces heart arrhythmias, impairs glucose homeostasis, and alters cholesterol and oxidative metabolism in post menopausal women. A dietary intake of about 4.12 mmol (100 mg) Mg/8.4 MJ is inadequate for healthy adults and may result in compromised cardiovascular health and glycemic control in post menopausal women.

N2  - Certain of the cyclodextrins are capable of significantly enhancing the native fluorescence of the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN). Twenty-two cyclodextrins (CDs) were screened for their ability to enhance the fluorescence of ZEN in a capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) format. Of the CDs that were examined heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD gave the greatest enhancement. The heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD was applied to the development of a CE-LIF method for detection of ZEN in maize. The resulting method was capable of detecting ZEN with a limit of quantitation of 5 ng/g maize. Recoveries of ZEN from maize spiked over the range from 5 ng/g to 500 ng/g averaged 103.1±8.5% (n=20). The CE-LIF method will be useful for future studies of ZEN in maize.

N2  - Background: Despite the high prevalence of overweight among Hispanic children in the United States, definitive predictors of weight gain have not been identified in this population. Objective: The study objective was to test sociodemographic, metabolic, and behavioral predictors of 1-y weight gains in a large cohort of Hispanic children studied longitudinally. Design: Subjects (n=879) were siblings from 319 Hispanic families enrolled in the Viva la Familia Study. Families were required to have at least one overweight child aged 4-19 y. One-year changes in weight and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were measured. Data were from parental interviews, birth certificates, multiple-pass 24-h dietary recalls, 3-d accelerometry, 24-h respiration calorimetry, measurements of eating in the absence of hunger, and measurement of fasting blood biochemistry indexes by radioimmunoassay. Generalized estimating equations and principal component analysis were applied. Results: Weight gain increased with age (P=0.001), peaking at ~10 y of age in girls and ~11 y of age in boys. Mean (±SD) weight gain was significantly higher in overweight (7.5±3.7 kg/y) than in nonoverweight (4.4±2.4 kg/y) children and in boys than in girls. When adjusted for age, age squared, sex, and Tanner stage, the final model indicated a child's body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) status, maternal BMI, energy expenditure (total energy expenditure, basal metabolic rate, and sleeping metabolic rate), and fasting blood biochemistry indexes (total triiodothyronine, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin) as independent, positive predictors of weight gain (P=0.01-0.001). Conclusion: Knowledge of the metabolic and behavioral predictors of weight gain in Hispanic children will inform prevention and treatment efforts to address this serious public health problem in the United States.

N2  - Fruit from three genotypes ('B-76', 'B-59' and 'SHF-3A') of deerberry [Vaccinium stamineum L.] were evaluated for fruit quality, total anthocyanin and phenolic contents, antioxidants, antioxidant capacity, and antioxidant enzyme activity. The fruit soluble solids, titratable acids, total anthocyanins, and total phenolic contents varied with genotypes. Cyanidin 3-galactoside and cyanidin 3-arabinoside were the two predominant anthocyanins. Resveratrol was also found in deerberries. Among the three genotypes, 'B-76' had higher amount of anthocyanins, phenolic compounds and resveratrol than 'B-59' and 'SHF-3A'. Deerberries contained potent free radical scavenging activities for 2,2-Di (4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS.+), peroxyl radical (ROO.), superoxide radicals (O2.-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (.OH), and singlet oxygen (1O2) radicals and also had high activities of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-POD), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD), guaiacol peroxidase (G-POD), monodehydroascorbate radical reductase (MDAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione reductase (GR) and non-enzyme antioxidants [ascorbic acid (ASA) and reduced glutathione (GSH)]. Antioxidant capacities were highly correlated to antioxidant enzymes activities. Among the three genotypes, 'B-76' had the highest level of antioxidants and antioxidant enzyme activity.

N2  - Background: Strategies for improving the vitamin A status of vulnerable populations are needed. Objective: We studied the influence of the amounts of dietary fat on the effectiveness of carotene-rich plant foods in improving vitamin A status. Design: Schoolchildren aged 9-12 y were fed standardized meals 3 times/d, 5 d/wk, for 9 wk. The meals provided 4.2 mg provitamin A carotenoids/d (mainly β-carotene) from yellow and green leafy vegetables [carrots, pechay (bok choy), squash, and kangkong (swamp cabbage)] and 7, 15, or 29 g fat/d (2.4, 5, or 10 g fat/meal) in groups A, B, and C (n=39, 39, and 38, respectively). Other self-selected foods eaten were recorded daily. Before and after the intervention, total-body vitamin A pool sizes and liver vitamin A concentrations were measured with the deuterated-retinol-dilution method; serum retinol and carotenoid concentrations were measured by HPLC. Results: Similar increases in mean serum β-carotene (5-fold), α-carotene (19-fold), and β-cryptoxanthin (2-fold) concentrations; total-body vitamin A pool size (2-fold); and liver vitamin A (2-fold) concentrations were observed after 9 wk in the 3 study groups; mean serum retinol concentrations did not change significantly. The total daily β-carotene intake from study meals plus self-selected foods was similar between the 3 groups and was 14 times the usual intake; total fat intake was 0.9, 1.4, or 2.0 times the usual intake in groups A, B, and C, respectively. The overall prevalence of low liver vitamin A (&lt;0.07 µmol/g) decreased from 35% to 7%. Conclusions: Carotene-rich yellow and green leafy vegetables, when ingested with minimal fat, enhance serum carotenoids and the total-body vitamin A pool size and can restore low liver vitamin A concentrations to normal concentrations.

N2  - Background: There remains no consensus about the optimal dietary composition for sustained weight loss. Objective: The objective was to examine the effects of 2 dietary macronutrient patterns with different glycemic loads on adherence to a prescribed regimen of calorie restriction (CR), weight and fat loss, and related variables. Design: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of diets with a high glycemic load (HG) or a low glycemic load (LG) at 30% CR was conducted in 34 healthy overweight adults with a mean (±SD) age of 35±6 y and body mass index (kg/m2) of 27.6±1.4. All food was provided for 6 mo in diets controlled for confounding variables, and subjects self-administered the plans for 6 additional months. Primary and secondary outcomes included energy intake measured by doubly labeled water, body weight and fatness, hunger, satiety, and resting metabolic rate. Results: All groups consumed significantly less energy during CR than at baseline (P&lt;0.01), but changes in energy intake, body weight, body fat, and resting metabolic rate did not differ significantly between groups. Both groups ate more energy than provided (eg, 21% and 28% CR at 3 mo and 16% and 17% CR at 6 mo with HG and LG, respectively). Percentage weight change at 12 mo was -8.04±4.1% in the HG group and -7.81±5.0% in the LG group. There was no effect of dietary composition on changes in hunger, satiety, or satisfaction with the amount and type of provided food during CR. Conclusions: These findings provide more detailed evidence to suggest that diets differing substantially in glycemic load induce comparable long-term weight loss.

N2  - Background: Although consumption of 3 meals/d is the most common pattern of eating in industrialized countries, a scientific rationale for this meal frequency with respect to optimal health is lacking. A diet with less meal frequency can improve the health and extend the lifespan of laboratory animals, but its effect on humans has never been tested. Objective: A pilot study was conducted to establish the effects of a reduced-meal-frequency diet on health indicators in healthy, normal-weight adults. Design: The study was a randomized crossover design with two 8-wk treatment periods. During the treatment periods, subjects consumed all of the calories needed for weight maintenance in either 3 meals/d or 1 meal/d. Results: Subjects who completed the study maintained their body weight within 2 kg of their initial weight throughout the 6-mo period. There were no significant effects of meal frequency on heart rate, body temperature, or most of the blood variables measured. However, when consuming 1 meal/d, subjects had a significant increase in hunger; a significant modification of body composition, including reductions in fat mass; significant increases in blood pressure and in total, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations; and a significant decrease in concentrations of cortisol. Conclusions: Normal-weight subjects are able to comply with a 1 meal/d diet. When meal frequency is decreased without a reduction in overall calorie intake, modest changes occur in body composition, some cardiovascular disease risk factors, and hematologic variables. Diurnal variations may affect outcomes.

N2  - The objective of this research was to develop methods for simulating the heat transfer process during pasteurization of frankfurter in single layer packages by hot water immersion to inactivate Listeria monocytogenes. A computer simulation program based on finite difference analysis was developed to simulate the temperature distributions within the frankfurter packages. This program was first used to estimate the apparent thermal diffusivity and surface heat transfer coefficients during the heating and cooling of frankfurters. Then this computer program was used to simulate the heat transfer processes during hot water pasteurization of frankfurters. The results of computer simulation indicated that the simulated temperature histories were in close agreement with the experimentally observed curves, both at the center and on the surface of the packages. The computer simulation model was biologically validated with frankfurters surfaced-inoculated with freshly grown L. monocytogenes. The observed bacterial reductions were generally 1-2 logs higher than those calculated by the General Method when the heating time was short. The theoretical calculation was more accurate when the heating time was long and the total inactivation was &gt;5 logs. In general, the result of computer simulation for calculating the log reduction was more conservative than the experimental observations, therefore suitable for designing processes to ensure the safety of products and to reduce the incidence of foodborne listeriosis associated with RTE meats.

N2  - In Afghanistan, after two decades of civil strife and successive droughts from 1998 to 2002, large inflows of food aid, distributed mainly to returning refugees and through food for work programs, have helped offset production shortfalls of wheat, the country's major staple. At the same time, private international trade from neighboring countries, especially Pakistan, has also played a major role in augmenting wheat supply and stabilizing prices. This paper presents an analysis of wheat prices and market flows in Afghanistan based on results of surveys of wheat traders and millers, and econometric analysis of price movements in major markets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In spite of food aid imports, domestic prices were not lowered below import parity levels in most major Afghan markets. Thus, the price evidence suggests that large-scale inflows of food aid, which benefited the country by providing resources for targeted food for work and other programs, did not have major price disincentive effects on domestic production, at least through mid-2003. However, following the 2003 bumper harvest, the analysis suggests that continued food aid inflows may have depressed producer prices by as much as about 15%. Moreover, given substantial prospects for rehabilitation of irrigation infrastructure, there is ample scope for increasing domestic production of wheat and decreasing import demand, so price disincentive effects of food aid remain a possibility in the future, as well.

N2  - One of the most important of the nutrient intake values (NIVs) is the average nutrient requirement (ANR). The ANR is defined as an intake value that will be adequate for half of the individuals in a group of people with similar characteristics. It is used to estimate the prevalence of adequacy, and it serves as the basis for the individual nutrient level (INLx). The determination of adequacy is a complex process, with the resulting value of the ANR dependent on the criterion or functional outcome chosen to define nutrient adequacy. Because nutrients have multiple sites of action in human metabolism, it is possible to demonstrate abnormal function in one parameter measured or observed as a result of inadequate intake of a nutrient, while other parameters requiring the same nutrient appear normal or within normal ranges. Thus, depending on the criterion of adequacy selected, the requirement for a given nutrient may be at a lower or a higher intake amount. In harmonizing development of NIVs, it is important to clearly identify the criterion of adequacy selected and the rationale for its selection. Rarely are available data sufficient to provide dose-response information from which to select a level of intake at which half of the individuals demonstrate adequacy and half appear to demonstrate inadequacy. Three levels of intake, of which at least one level of intake is below the requirement for most of the individuals in the sample, and one level of intake is above their requirement, are useful for establishing a level at which half of the group might be considered to demonstrate adequacy. Types of human nutrient studies that may be used to obtain data are discussed, as well as characteristics of the sample size needed to demonstrate adequacy. The variation in requirements is also an important aspect in predicting levels of intake that will have defined probabilities of adequacy for groups (to develop the INLx, where x is the defined probability chosen). An analysis of the origins of different types of variability is presented. When estimating energy requirements, a special case of NIVs, important issues must be considered. Additionally, an example of evaluating data used to establish an ANR for vitamin A, and the effect of variability in requirements for vitamin A, is provided.

N2  - The multi-antibiotic resistant (MR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage type U302 strain G8430 exhibits the penta-resistant ACSSuT-phenotype (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides and tetracycline), and is also resistant to carbenicillin, erythromycin, kanamycin, and gentamicin. Two plasmids, 3.2- and 84.5-kb in size, carrying antibiotic resistance genes were isolated from this strain, and the nucleotide sequences were determined and analyzed. The 3.2-kb plasmid, pU302S, belongs to the ColE1 family and carries the aph(3′)-I gene (KanR). The 84.5-kb plasmid, pU302L, is an F-like plasmid and contains 14 complete IS elements and multiple resistance genes including aac3, aph(3′)-I, sulII, tetA/R, strA/B, blaTEM-1, mph, and the mer operon. Sequence analyses of pU302L revealed extensive homology to various plasmids or transposons, including F, R100, pHCM1, pO157, and pCTX-M3 plasmids and TnSF1 transposon, in regions involved in plasmid replication/maintenance functions and/or in antibiotic resistance gene clusters. Though similar to the conjugative plasmids F and R100 in the plasmid replication regions, pU302L does not contain oriT and the tra genes necessary for conjugal transfer. This mosaic pattern of sequence similarities suggests that pU302L acquired the resistance genes from a variety of enteric bacteria and underscores the importance of a further understanding of horizontal gene transfer among the enteric bacteria.

N2  - Antioxidant activities (µmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g fresh weight) of 19 sweet potato genotypes with distinctive flesh colour (white, cream, yellow, orange and purple) were measured by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Total phenolics were measured using the Folin-Ciocalteau method, total anthocyanins by the pH-differential method, and β-carotene by HPLC. The total antioxidant activity (hydrophilic+lipophilic ORAC) was highest (27.2 µmol TE/g fresh weight (fw)) for NC415 (purple-fleshed) and lowest (2.72 µmol TE/g fw) for Xushu 18 (white-fleshed). The hydrophilic-ORAC values were significantly correlated with the DPPH (R2=0.859) and ABTS (R2=0.761) values. However, the lipophilic-ORAC values were poorly correlated with the β-carotene contents (R2=0.480). The total phenolic contents (0.011-0.949 mg chlorogenic acid equivalent/g fw) were highly correlated with the hydrophilic-ORAC (R2=0.937) and DPPH (R2=0.820) values. Therefore, the total phenolic content can serve as a useful indicator for the antioxidant activities of sweet potatoes.

N2  - The antimicrobial resistance of Arcobacter (n=174) and Campylobacter (n=215) isolated from broiler carcasses in a US poultry processing plant was examined. For Arcobacter, 93.7% (n=163) were resistant to one or more antimicrobials and 71.8% (n=125) were resistant to two or more antimicrobials. For Campylobacter, 99.5% (n=214) were resistant to one or more antimicrobials and 28.4% (n=61) were resistant to two or more antimicrobials. Arcobacter butzleri isolates were particularly resistant to clindamycin (90%; n=126), azithromycin (81.4%; n=114) and nalidixic acid (23.6%; n=33). Resistance to tetracycline was very high in Campylobacter jejuni (99.5%) and Campylobacter coli (96.3%). Our results demonstrate substantial resistance in Arcobacter and Campylobacter to common antimicrobial agents.

N2  - Background: Few calcium balance data are available from young children on which to base dietary recommendations. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the relation between calcium intake and balance in healthy children aged 1-4 y consuming typical American diets. Design: Subjects were assigned to a diet with nutrient intakes similar to those of their usual diet. Calcium absorption was assessed by using a dual-tracer stable-isotope technique. Endogenous fecal excretion was measured in a subset of children, and net calcium balance was calculated. Results: Mean calcium intake was 551 mg/d (range: 124-983 mg/d), and mean (±SEM) calcium retention was 161±17 mg/d. Both linear and nonlinear modeling of balance data showed that a calcium intake of ~470 mg/d led to calcium retention of 140 mg/d, which is the amount that meets expected bone growth needs in children of this age. No evidence was found that calcium intakes of 800 to 900 mg/d reached the threshold intake beyond which no additional increase in calcium retention would occur. Conclusions: Bone growth needs in 1-4-y-old children following American diets are met by a daily calcium intake of ~470 mg/d, which suggests that the current Adequate Intake of 500 mg/d is close to the actual Estimated Average Requirement. The benefits and risks of higher calcium intakes consistent with threshold values should be evaluated in a controlled trial before those intakes could be used as a basis for dietary recommendations.

N2  - Growth data of Salmonella in chicken were collected at several isothermal conditions (10, 15, 20, 25, 28, 32, 35, 37, 42, and 45°C) and were then fitted into primary models, namely the logistic model, modified Gompertz model and Baranyi model. Measures of goodness-of-fit such as mean square error, pseudo-R2, -2 log likelihood, Akaike's information, and Sawa's Bayesian information criteria were used for comparison for these primary models. Based on these criteria, modified Gompertz model described growth data the best, followed by the Baranyi model, and then the logistic model. The maximum growth rates obtained from each primary model were then modeled as a function of temperature using the modified Ratkowsky model. Pseudo-R2 values for this secondary model describing growth rate obtained from Baranyi, modified Gompertz, and logistic models were 0.999, 0.980, and 0.990, respectively. Mean square error values for corresponding models were 0.0002, 0.0008, and 0.0009, respectively. Both measures clearly show that the Baranyi model performed better than the modified Gompertz model or the logistic model.

N2  - Only limited aspects of the transfer of calcium across the placenta to the fetus are known. Clinical outcome studies suggest that bone mineral mass in newborn infants is related to maternal size and dairy intake. Available data indicate that vitamin D deficiency may also limit in utero fetal bone mineral accumulation. Recent data suggest that maternal vitamin D status affects long-term childhood bone status. At present, no strong evidence exists showing that improving maternal calcium or vitamin D status has a long-term positive effect on childhood bone mass. In premature infants, clinical rickets and fractures are common. In utero rates of calcium accretion during the third trimester cannot be readily achieved. The use of fortifiers designed for human-milk-fed infants or specially designed high-mineral-containing formulas allows for bone mineral accretion at or near in utero rates. Recent data have shown that physical therapy programs, judiciously used, in combination with adequate mineral content, can enhance bone mineral mass in preterm infants. There is little evidence for the use of high doses of vitamin D in the management of premature infants. After hospital discharge, continuation of a relatively high mineral intake has been shown to enhance bone mineral acquisition. Future research should include evaluations of the role of maternal vitamin D supplementation on fetal and infant bone mass, the mineral needs of infants weighing &lt;800 g or &lt;25 wk gestation, and the optimal discharge management of premature infants who are at risk of low bone mass.

N2  - Background: The use of stable isotopes has provided valuable insights into iron absorption in humans, but the data have been limited to nonheme iron. Objective: Our objectives were to produce heme iron enriched in 58Fe and to use it to study the absorption of heme iron and the effect of iron and zinc intakes on heme-iron absorption in children. Design: Labeled bovine heme was produced in a bovine model. Forty-eight children were randomly assigned to consume identical meals containing 1 of 3 doses of labeled heme iron (2, 4, or 8 mg as hemoglobin) and 1 of 2 doses of inorganic zinc (1 or 9 mg); successful measurements of iron absorption, zinc absorption, or both were made in 40 of these subjects. We hypothesized that fractional heme-iron absorption would decrease as heme-iron intake increased and that higher zinc intakes would decrease heme-iron absorption. Results: 58Fe heme was produced with an enrichment (mass/mass) of 9.5%. Fractional iron absorption in children was significantly affected by the intake of heme iron (P=0.0013) and of zinc (P=0.0375), but, contrary to expectations, heme-iron absorption was higher at higher zinc intakes. Absolute heme-iron absorption was higher in the group with higher zinc intakes, but only for those with the lowest heme-iron intake (2 mg; P=0.0147). Although fractional zinc absorption decreased as zinc intake increased (P=0.031), absolute zinc absorption continued to increase across the intake range studied (P=0.018). Conclusions: Heme iron intrinsically labeled with 58Fe can be produced at sufficient enrichments for use in human studies. In children, heme iron and zinc absorption decrease as the dose of each mineral increases. Heme iron did not inhibit zinc absorption. At lower heme intakes, zinc intakes may increase heme-iron absorption.

N2  - Background: Historic reports on the treatment of pernicious anemia with folic acid suggest that high-level folic acid fortification delays the diagnosis of or exacerbates the effects of vitamin B-12 deficiency, which affects many seniors. This idea is controversial, however, because observational data are few and inconclusive. Furthermore, experimental investigation is unethical. Objective: We examined the relations between serum folate and vitamin B-12 status relative to anemia, macrocytosis, and cognitive impairment (ie, Digit Symbol-Coding score &lt;34) in senior participants in the 1999-2002 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Design: The subjects had normal serum creatinine concentrations and reported no history of stroke, alcoholism, recent anemia therapy, or diseases of the liver, thyroid, or coronary arteries (n=1459). We defined low vitamin B-12 status as a serum vitamin B-12 concentration &lt;148 pmol/L or a serum methylmalonic acid concentration &gt;210 nmol/L - the maximum of the reference range for serum vitamin B-12-replete participants with normal creatinine. Results: After control for demographic characteristics, cancer, smoking, alcohol intake, serum ferritin, and serum creatinine, low versus normal vitamin B-12 status was associated with anemia [odds ratio (OR): 2.7; 95% CI: 1.7, 4.2], macrocytosis (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.01, 3.3), and cognitive impairment (OR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.6, 3.8). In the group with a low vitamin B-12 status, serum folate &gt;59 nmol/L (80th percentile), as opposed to ≤59 nmol/L, was associated with anemia (OR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.5, 6.6) and cognitive impairment (OR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.1, 6.1). In the normal vitamin B-12 group, ORs relating high versus normal serum folate to these outcomes were &lt;1.0 (Pinteraction &lt;0.05), but significantly &lt;1.0 only for cognitive impairment (0.4; 95% CI: 0.2, 0.9). Conclusion: In seniors with low vitamin B-12 status, high serum folate was associated with anemia and cognitive impairment. When vitamin B-12 status was normal, however, high serum folate was associated with protection against cognitive impairment.

N2  - Background: Antioxidant nutrient deficiencies may hasten the progression of HIV disease by impairing antioxidant defenses. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether HIV infection is associated with poor selenium status and low antioxidant protection by glutathione and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Design: In a cross-sectional study of 365 HIV-positive and HIV-negative adolescents and young adults, we examined the relation of plasma selenium, whole-blood glutathione, and whole-blood GPX to HIV status, disease severity, immune activation, and oxidative damage. Results: Selenium deficiency (plasma selenium &lt;0.070 µg/mL) was not seen in any subjects, and plasma selenium in 244 HIV-positive subjects (0.120±0.0013 µg/mL) did not differ significantly (P=0.071) from that in 121 HIV-negative subjects (0.125±0.0020 µg/mL). However, multiple regression analysis after adjustment for covariates showed a significant (P=0.002) negative association between HIV-associated immune activation (plasma neopterin) and plasma selenium concentrations. GPX activity was highest in HIV-positive subjects taking antiretroviral therapy (median: 14.2; 25th, 75th percentiles: 11.1, 18.7 U/mL; n=130), intermediate in HIV-positive subjects not taking antiretroviral therapy (11.8; 9.4, 15.1 U/mL; n=114), and lowest in HIV-negative subjects (10.6; 8.6, 12.7 U/mL; n=121; P&lt;0.05 for all comparisons). GPX was also positively associated with malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative damage. Conclusions: Subjects had adequate selenium status, although HIV-related immune activation was associated with lower plasma selenium concentrations. GPX activity appears to have been induced by the oxidative stress associated with HIV infection and use of antiretroviral therapy. Thus, young, well-nourished subjects can mount a compensatory antioxidant response to HIV infection.

N2  - A microwave heating system equipped with a proportional-integral-differential (PID) control device was developed for in-package pasteurization of ready-to-eat meats. Frankfurters, inoculated and vacuum-sealed in plastic packages, were subjected to microwave or water immersion heating, with the package surface temperature increased to and maintained at 65, 75, or 85°C, for different periods of time, ranging from 2 to 19 min in total heating time. During microwave heating, the surface temperature of frankfurter packages increased linearly with the heating time until it reached a set point. The concentration of Listeria monocytogenes decreased linearly with heating time. The observed rate of bacterial inactivation was 0.41, 0.65, and 0.94 log (CFU/pk)/min at the surface temperature of 65, 75, or 85°C. When compared with water immersion heating at the same surface temperatures, the overall rate of bacterial inactivation was 30%-75% higher with microwave in-package pasteurization. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a PID-controlled microwave heating process for in-package pasteurization of frankfurters.

AB  - Scope The recent publication by Yin (2013; Annals of Botany 112: 465–475) referred to in the title above provides an excellent review of modelling approaches to predict the impact of elevated CO2 on crop productivity, as well as on the controversy regarding whether yield responses observed in free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments are indeed lower than those from chamber-based experiments. However, the wheat experiments in the example of fig. 1 in Yin's paper had a flaw as the control plots lacked blowers that were in the FACE plots, which warmed the FACE plots at night and hastened plant development. This Viewpoint seeks to highlight this fact, and to comment on the relative merits of FACE and enclosure experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - In September 2014, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its long-term assessment of world petroleum and other liquid fuels in the International Energy Outlook 2014 (IEO2014). The projections that appear in this report were actually constructed in March 2014 and the large downward movement in global crude oil prices that began in mid-2014 was not anticipated. Crude oil prices are a major driver within EIA's energy models, so it is appropriate to consider the uncertainties associated with long-term projections, particularly in light of the recent price movements. This paper begins with a look at the IEO2014 Reference case, EIA's business-as-usual trend estimate that generally assumes current laws and regulations are unchanged. The additional High and Low World Oil Price scenarios are also discussed to demonstrate the differences in supply and demand outlooks in alternative price scenarios. Next, short-term oil price forecasts--before and after the release of the IEO2014 report--are reviewed to demonstrate how much changed in the year since IEO2014 projections were computed. Finally, the potential impact of the short-term price changes on long-term projections is presented.

N2  - We developed a partial equilibrium model to examine the welfare impacts of bird damage and its control in California wine grape production. The model incorporates the impacts of pest damage and its control and allows the impacts to vary regionally. Importantly, the model requires minimal information to apply; only elasticities, current market price and production data, and information on the cost and effectiveness of the pest control methods are needed. We rely on data from a recent survey of California growers and use the model to estimate changes in wine grape prices, production levels, and consumer and producer surplus that result from both bird damage and its control in three grape-growing regions of California. Results suggest that eliminating the threat of bird damage and control costs results in an increase in producer and consumer surplus of 1.3% and 3%, respectively. Furthermore, eliminating current bird control and allowing any resulting damage would decrease producer and consumer surplus by 6.6% and 11.5%, respectively.

N2  - Federal wildfire management agencies in the United States are under substantial pressure to reduce and economically justify their expenditures. To support economically efficient management of wildfires, managers need better estimates of the resource benefits and avoided damage costs associated with alternative wildfire management strategies. This paper reports findings from a choice modeling study of the wildfire management preferences of residents in Flathead County, Montana, where resources at risk include residential homes (estimated as level of home evacuations), recreational opportunities, air quality, timberland, and forest and watershed health. Residents are willing to pay higher state and county taxes to reduce wildfire impacts on all evaluated resources at risk, and reserved their highest marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for reducing exposure to unhealthy smoke. Although federal wildfire managers have prioritized protection of private property, including homes, survey respondents expressed their lowest MWTP for reducing home evacuations. When coupled with the negative externality generated by the moral hazard of wildfire suppression near the wildland-urban interface, a strong economic argument can be made against prioritizing protection of private homes in Flathead County.

N2  - In the United States, climate change is likely to increase average daily temperatures and the frequency of heat waves, which can reduce meat and milk production in animals. Methods that livestock producers use to mitigate thermal stress--including modifications to animal management or housing--tend to increase production costs. We use operation-level economic data coupled with finely-scaled climate data to estimate how the local thermal environment affects the technical efficiency of dairies across the United States. We then use this information to estimate the possible decline in milk production in 2030 resulting from climate change-induced heat stress under the simplifying assumptions that the production technology, location of production, and other factors are held constant. For four climate model scenarios, the results indicate modest heat-stress-related production declines by 2030, with the largest declines occurring in the southern states.

N2  - Recent expansions in biofuel production have led to concerns about an emerging "new relationship" between energy prices and the prices of agricultural feedstock for biofuel. We provide new econometric evidence on this relationship using common trend-common cycle decompositions to estimate long-run and short-run co-movement across various energy and agricultural prices. We also test for the presence of regime changes that may alter the relationship between energy and agricultural feedstock prices under certain conditions. We find that co-movements between energy and agricultural feedstock prices tend to dissipate in the long-run, which has important implications for biofuel and food policy.

This method can detect the telomerase activity from as little as 10 cultured cancer cells without PCR. Furthermore, telomerase inhibition is shown, demonstrating the potential for screening of telomerase inhibitors as anticancer drug agents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This article discusses identification of insect damaged wheat kernels using transmittance images. Infested wheat kernels cause loss of quality in wheat products. They cause a lot more damage if they are put into storage with other kernels. It is important to be able to identify insect damaged kernels to reach proper decisions about them. The colour histogram of pixel intensities is first estimated for each kernel image. Then the colour histogram based feature vector is used in a number of different algorithms, namely the linear model, quadratic model, K-nearest neighbour, linear model with weight decay and radial basic function network for classification.

AB  - Phytoalexins constitute a broad category of pathogen- and insect-inducible biochemicals that locally protect plant tissues. Because of their agronomic significance, maize and rice have been extensively investigated for their terpenoid-based defenses, which include insect-inducible monoterpene and sesquiterpene volatiles. Rice also produces a complex array of pathogen-inducible diterpenoid phytoalexins. Despite the demonstration of fungal-induced ent-kaur-15-ene production in maize over 30 y ago, the identity of functionally analogous maize diterpenoid phytoalexins has remained elusive. In response to stem attack by the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and fungi, we observed the induced accumulation of six ent-kaurane-related diterpenoids, collectively termed kauralexins. Isolation and identification of the predominant Rhizopus microsporus-induced metabolites revealed ent-kaur-19-al-17-oic acid and the unique analog ent-kaur-15-en-19-al-17-oic acid, assigned as kauralexins A3 and B3, respectively. Encoding an ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase, fungal-induced An2 transcript accumulation precedes highly localized kauralexin production, which can eventually exceed 100 μg∙g-1 fresh weight. Pharmacological applications of jasmonic acid and ethylene also synergize the induced accumulation of kauralexins. Occurring at elevated levels in the scutella of all inbred lines examined, kauralexins appear ubiquitous in maize. At concentrations as low as 10 μg∙mL-1, kauralexin B3 significantly inhibited the growth of the opportunistic necrotroph R. microsporus and the causal agent of anthracnose stalk rot, Colletotrichum graminicola. Kauralexins also exhibited significant O. nubilalis antifeedant activity. Our work establishes the presence of diterpenoid defenses in maize and enables a more detailed analysis of their biosynthetic pathways, regulation, and crop defense function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: 18O labeled catalysts, Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x (Rh/GDC10) and Rh/γ-Al2O3 (Rh/ALU) were used to study the catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) and oxygen isotopic exchange reactions. During the CPOM tests, higher C18O than C16O concentrations were observed over 18O labeled Rh/GDC10 than Rh/ALU, which is explained by the higher oxygen storage capacity and oxygen mobility of the former catalyst. Similarly, Rh/GDC10 showed higher oxygen exchange rates than Rh/ALU during the isotopic exchange experiments. The oxygen exchange between the gas phase and the solid is limited by the oxygen mobility in/on the catalyst. This catalytic behavior is due to the fact that ceria has two stable oxidation states, Ce3+ and Ce4+ and the addition of Gd3+ to ceria lattice enhanced the oxygen mobility by the creation of oxygen vacancies. These higher oxygen exchange rates also correlate to higher concentrations of C18O than C16O during the CPOM experiments. Pulse experiments suggest that the reaction mechanism for the CPOM on Rh/GDC10 occurred through a mixed (direct and indirect) mechanism. The direct mechanism assumes that H2 and CO are primary reaction products formed in the oxidation zone at the catalyst entrance. Thus, CO formed from the reaction between lattice oxygen in Rh/GDC10 and adsorbed atomic carbon. CO2 is formed through an indirect mechanism, where CH4 reacts with O2 to form CO2 and H2O. CO forms through the reactions between 1) CO2 and CH4 and 2) CH4 and H2O. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Repeat-biomarker measurement error models accounting for systematic correlated within-person error can be used to estimate the correlation coefficient (ρ) and deattenuation factor (λ), used in measurement error correction. These models account for correlated errors in the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and the 24-hour diet recall and random within-person variation in the biomarkers. Failure to account for within-person variation in biomarkers can exaggerate correlated errors between FFQs and 24-hour diet recalls. For 2 validation studies, ρ and λ were calculated for total energy and protein density. In the Automated Multiple-Pass Method Validation Study (n = 471), doubly labeled water (DLW) and urinary nitrogen (UN) were measured twice in 52 adults approximately 16 months apart (2002—2003), yielding intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.43 for energy (DLW) and 0.54 for protein density (UN/DLW). The deattenuated correlation coefficient for protein density was 0.51 for correlation between the FFQ and the 24-hour diet recall and 0.49 for correlation between the FFQ and the biomarker. Use of repeat-biomarker measurement error models resulted in a ρ of 0.42. These models were similarly applied to the Observing Protein and Energy Nutrition Study (1999—2000). In conclusion, within-person variation in biomarkers can be substantial, and to adequately assess the impact of correlated subject-specific error, this variation should be assessed in validation studies of FFQs.

AB  - Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause significant economic and ecological damage worldwide. Despite considerable efforts, a comprehensive understanding of the factors that promote these blooms has been lacking, because the biochemical pathways that facilitate their dominance relative to other phytoplankton within specific environments have not been identified. Here, biogeochemical measurements showed that the harmful alga Aureococcus anophagefferens outcompeted co-occurring phytoplankton in estuaries with elevated levels of dissolved organic matter and turbidity and low levels of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. We subsequently sequenced the genome of A. anophagefferens and compared its gene complement with those of six competing phytoplankton species identified through metaproteomics. Using an ecogenomic approach, we specifically focused on gene sets that may facilitate dominance within the environmental conditions present during blooms. A. anophagefferens possesses a larger genome (56 Mbp) and has more genes involved in light harvesting, organic carbon and nitrogen use, and encoding selenium- and metal-requiring enzymes than competing phytoplankton. Genes for the synthesis of microbial deterrents likely permit the proliferation of this species, with reduced mortality losses during blooms. Collectively, these findings suggest that anthropogenic activities resulting in elevated levels of turbidity, organic matter, and metals have opened a niche within coastal ecosystems that ideally suits the unique genetic capacity of A. anophagefferens and thus, has facilitated the proliferation of this and potentially other HABs.

AB  - The chicken has been widely used in experimental research given its importance to agriculture and its utility as a model for vertebrate biology and biomedical pursuits for over 100 years. Herein we used advanced technologies to investigate the genomic characteristics of specialized chicken congenic genetic resources developed on a highly inbred background. An Illumina 3K chicken single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array was utilized to study variation within and among major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-congenic lines as well as investigate line-specific genomic diversity, inbreeding coefficients, and MHC B haplotype-specific GGA 16 SNP profiles. We also investigated developmental mutant-congenic lines to map a number of single-gene mutations using both the Illumina 3K array and a recently developed Illumina 60K chicken SNP array. In addition to identifying the chromosomes and specific subregions, the mapping results affirmed prior analyses indicating recessive or dominant and autosomal or sex chromosome modes of inheritance. Priority candidate genes are described for each mutation based on association with similar phenotypes in other vertebrates. These single-gene mutations provide a means of studying amniote development and in particular serve as invaluable biomedical models for similar malformations found in human.

AB  - Summary: True morels (Morchella, Ascomycota) are arguably the most highly-prized of the estimated 1.5 million fungi that inhabit our planet. Field guides treat these epicurean macrofungi as belonging to a few species with cosmopolitan distributions, but this hypothesis has not been tested. Prompted by the results of a growing number of molecular studies, which have shown many microbes exhibit strong biogeographic structure and cryptic speciation, we constructed a 4-gene dataset for 177 members of the Morchellaceae to elucidate their origin, evolutionary diversification and historical biogeography. Diversification time estimates place the origin of the Morchellaceae in the middle Triassic 243.63 (95% highest posterior density [HPD] interval: 169.35–319.89) million years ago (Mya) and the divergence of Morchella from its closest relatives in the early Cretaceous 129.61 (95% HPD interval: 90.26–173.16) Mya, both within western North America. Phylogenetic analyses identified three lineages within Morchella: a basal monotypic lineage represented by Morchella rufobrunnea, and two sister clades comprising the black morels (Elata Clade, 26 species) and yellow morels (Esculenta Clade, 16 species). Morchella possesses a Laurasian distribution with 37/41 species restricted to the Holarctic. All 33 Holarctic species represented by multiple collections exhibited continental endemism. Moreover, 16/18 North American and 13/15 Eurasian species appeared to exhibit provincialism. Although morel fruit bodies produce thousands of explosively discharged spores that are well suited to aerial dispersal, our results suggest that they are poorly adapted at invading novel niches. Morels also appear to have retained the ancestral fruit body plan, which has remained remarkably static since the Cretaceous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a nutrient-responsive neuropeptide that exerts diverse actions in the gastrointestinal tract, including enhancing mucosal cell survival and proliferation. GLP-2 stimulates mucosal growth in vivo with an increased rate of protein synthesis. However, it was unclear whether GLP-2 can directly stimulate protein synthesis. The objective was to test critically whether GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) activation directly stimulates protein synthesis through a PI 3-kinase-dependent Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. HEK 293 cells (transfected with human GLP-2R cDNA) were treated with human GLP-2 with/without pretreatment of PI 3-kinase inhibitor (LY-294002) or mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin). Results show that 1) GLP-2 specifically bound to GLP-2R overexpressed in the HEK cells with Ka = 0.22 nM and Bmax = 321 fmol/μg protein; 2) GLP-2-stimulated protein synthesis was dependent on the amount of GLP-2R cDNA and the dosage of GLP-2 and reached the plateau among 0.2-2 nM GLP-2; 3) GLP-2-stimulated protein synthesis was abolished by the PI 3-kinase inhibitor and mTOR inhibitor; and 4) GLP-2-mediated stimulation of phosphorylation on Akt and mTOR was dependent on the amount of GLP-2R cDNA transfected and the dosage of GLP-2. In addition, GLP-2-mediated action and signaling in regulation of protein synthesis were confirmed in mouse hippocampal neurons (expressing native GLP-2R). GLP-2 directly stimulated protein synthesis of primary cultured neurons in dosage-dependent, PI 3-kinase-dependent, and rapamycin-sensitive manners, which linked with activation of Akt-mTOR signaling pathway as well. We conclude that GLP-2R activation directly stimulates protein synthesis by activating the PI 3-kinase-dependent Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. GLP-2-stimulated protein synthesis may be physiologically relevant to maintaining neuronal long-term potentiation and providing secondary mediators (namely neuropeptides or growth factors).

AB  - With the progression of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) towards a mainstream resource management tool, it has become necessary to understand how best to process and analyze the data. While most ground surface identification algorithms remain proprietary and have high purchase costs; a few are openly available, free to use, and are supported by published results. Two of the latter are the multiscale curvature classification and the Boise Center Aerospace Laboratory LiDAR (BCAL) algorithms. This study investigated the accuracy of these two algorithms (and a combination of the two) to create a digital terrain model from a raw LiDAR point cloud in a semi-arid landscape. Accuracy of each algorithm was assessed via comparison with >7,000 high precision survey points stratified across six different cover types. The overall performance of both algorithms differed by only 2%; however, within specific cover types significant differences were observed in accuracy. The results highlight the accuracy of both algorithms across a variety of vegetation types, and ultimately suggest specific scenarios where one approach may outperform the other. Each algorithm produced similar results except in the ceanothus and conifer cover types where BCAL produced lower errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The methods employed in most previous studies to investigate the non-thermal action of pulsed electric field (PEF) on microbial cells are only capable of revealing the obvious morphological changes of microbial cells induced by PEF, or only differentiate between culturable and not culturable cells. They are totally incapable of real time detection of sublethally injured cells under stress of PEF. In this study, flow cytometry (FCM) in combination with fluorescent techniques was used for quantitative and real time detection of PEF induced damage on Escherichia coli cells and sublethally injured microbial cells. The present work confirmed the thesis that electropermeabilisation was not an all-or-nothing-event. FCM sorting of double stained cells put forward direct evidence for the occurrence of sublethally injured microbial cells under stress of PEF. This work provided quantitative and real time analysis of sublethally injured microbial cells in PEF treatment, and further revealed the underlying mechanism on synergistic effect of moderate heat and PEF on microbial inactivation.

AB  - The aims of this study were, firstly, to compare five published methods for the isolation of Arcobacter spp. from animal feces in order to determine the most sensitive and specific method. Second, we analyzed the resulting isolates by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in order to investigate the diversity of the isolates recovered. Third, we investigated the ability to recover Arcobacter spp. from frozen fecaf samples. Seventy-seven fecal samples from cattle, sheep, and badgers were subjected to five isolation methods, based on published methods for the isolation of Arcobacter and Campylobacter spp. Thirty-nine Arcobacter butzleri isolates were analyzed using a multilocus sequence typing scheme. The survival of Arcobacter spp. in frozen samples was investigated by freezing the fecal samples at -80°C for 7 days and then applying the same five isolation methods. The most sensitive and specific method used anArcobacter-specific broth in conjunction with modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (mCCDA) with added antibiotics. Freezing of fecal samples led to a reduction in the recovery of Arcobacter spp. by approximately 50%. The 39 allelic profiles obtained by MLST could be divided into 11 sequence types (ST5). We have identified the most sensitive and specific method for the isolation of Arcobacter spp. from animal feces and demonstrated that the freezing of fecal samples prior to isolation reduces arcobacter recovery. MLST analysis of the isolates revealed a high level of diversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Controversy exists concerning whether cattle and water buffalo sustain infections with cysts of distinct arrays of species in the genus Sarcocystis. In particular, morphologically similar parasites have been alternately ascribed to Sarcocystis cruzi or to Sarcocystis levinei, depending on their occurrence in cattle or water buffalo. We used light and transmission electron microscopy, genetic analysis, and experimental infections of definitive canine hosts to determine whether consistent differences could be identified from parasites derived from several natural infections of each host, examining several tissue types (esophagus, skeletal muscles, and heart). Cysts derived from cattle and water buffalo shared similar structure; variation among 18S rRNA sequences did not segregate consistently according to intermediate host type; parasites derived from cattle and water buffalo induced similar outcomes in the canine definitive host. One cattle specimen harbored unusually large (macroscopic) sarcocysts which nonetheless conformed to previously reported ultrastructural and genetic features of S. cruzi. Finding no consistent basis to differentiate between them, we conclude that the parasites infecting each host and tissue type correspond to S. cruzi. In our sample, no phylogenetically distinct taxon was sampled which might correspond to a distinct taxon previously described as S. levinei. Either that taxon was missed by our sampling effort, or it may represent a junior synonym to S. cruzi, which would then cycle between dogs and a broader range of intermediate bovine hosts than was previously considered.

AB  - Abstract: We analyzed 100 Campylobacter spp. isolates (C. jejuni and C. coli) from Grenada, Puerto Rico and Alabama, which were collected from live broilers or retail broiler meat. We analyzed these isolates with four molecular typing methods: restriction fragment length polymorphism of the flaA gene (flaA-RFLP), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and automated repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction (REP-PCR) using the DiversiLab system. All methods performed similarly for the typing of C. jejuni and C. coli. The DNA extraction method appears to influence the results obtained with REP-PCR. This method was better for the typing of C. jejuni than C. coli, however both REP-PCR and flaA-RFLP generated types that were indistinguishable between C. jejuni and C. coli and appeared to be random, without any relationship to species, location, or source of isolates. PFGE and MLST generated typing results that had a better correlation with the geographic location of the isolates and showed higher concordance with the Wallace coefficient. The adjusted Rand coefficient did not show higher concordance among the methods, although the PFGE/MLST combination exhibited the highest concordance. PFGE and MLST revealed a better discriminatory power for C. coli isolates than REP-PCR or flaA-RFLP. The use of readily available online tools to calculate the confidence interval of the Simpson''s index of diversity and the adjusted Rand and Wallace coefficients helped estimate the discriminatory power of typing methods. Further studies using different C. jejuni and C. coli strains may expand our understanding of the benefits and limitations of each of these typing methods for epidemiological studies of Campylobacter spp. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Salmonella enterica Typhimurium remains undigested in the food vacuoles of the common protist, Tetrahymena. Contrary to its interaction with Acanthamoeba spp., S. Typhimurium is not cytotoxic to Tetrahymena and is egested as viable cells in its fecal pellets. Through microarray gene expression profiling we investigated the factors in S. Typhimurium that are involved in its resistance to digestion by Tetrahymena. The transcriptome of S. Typhimurium in Tetrahymena phagosomes showed that 989 and 1282 genes were altered in expression compared with that in water and in LB culture medium, respectively. A great proportion of the upregulated genes have a role in anaerobic metabolism and the use of alternate electron acceptors. Many genes required for survival and replication within macrophages and human epithelial cells also had increased expression in Tetrahymena, including mgtC, one of the most highly induced genes in all three cells types. A ΔmgtC mutant of S. Typhimurium did not show decreased viability in Tetrahymena, but paradoxically, was egested at a higher cell density than the wild type. The expression of adiA and adiY, which are involved in arginine-dependent acid resistance, also was increased in the protozoan phagosome. A ΔadiAY mutant had lower viability after passage through Tetrahymena, and a higher proportion of S. Typhimurium wild-type cells within pellets remained viable after exposure to pH 3.4 as compared with uningested cells. Our results provide evidence that acid resistance has a role in the resistance of Salmonella to digestion by Tetrahymena and that passage through the protist confers physiological advantages relevant to its contamination cycle.

AB  - Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) head-rice yield (HR) is a key export and domestic quality trait whose genetic control is poorly understood. With the goal of identifying genomic regions influencing HR, quantitative-trait-locus (QTL) mapping was carried out for quality-related traits in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from crosses of common parent Cypress, a high-HR US japonica cultivar, with RT0034, a low-HR indica line (129 RILs) and LaGrue, a low-HR japonica cultivar (298 RILs), grown in two US locations in 2005-2007. Early heading increased HR in the Louisiana (LA) but not the Arkansas (AR) location. Fitting QTL-mapping models to separate QTL main and QTL × environment interaction (QEI) effects and identify epistatic interactions revealed six main-effect HR QTLs in the two crosses, at four of which Cypress contributed the increasing allele. Multi-QTL models accounted for 0.36 of genetic and 0.21 of genetic × environment interaction of HR in MY1, and corresponding proportions of 0.25 and 0.37 in MY2. The greater HR advantage of Cypress in LA than in AR corresponded to a genomewide pattern of opposition of HR-increasing QTL effects by AR-specific effects, suggesting a selection strategy for improving this cultivar for AR. Treating year-location combinations as independent environments resulted in underestimation of QEI effects, evidently owing to lower variation among years within location than between location. Identification of robust HR QTLs in elite long-grain germplasm is suggested to require more detailed attention to the interaction of plant and grain development parameters with environmental conditions than has been given to date.

AB  - This article develops a method for decomposing changes in agricultural producer prices. The method builds on a procedure used by the World Bank, with the main variables in the decomposition being trade prices, exchange rates and trade policies. We expand on the World Bank decomposition procedure by broadening the analysis of policy effects, adding the effect from incomplete transmission of changes in trade prices and exchange rates to producer prices, and handling the effect on prices from interactions between variables as they change simultaneously. Decomposition results are presented for various commodities for the major emerging markets of Brazil, China and South Africa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using interplay between surface plasmons and metamaterials, we propose a different technique for novel metamaterial designs. We show that surface plasmons existing on thin metal surfaces can be used to "drive" nonresonant structures in their vicinity to provide new types of electric and magnetic resonators. These resonators strictly adhere to plasmon dispersion of the host-metal film. The operating frequency of the resultant metamaterials can be scaled to extremely high frequencies, otherwise not possible with conventional split-ring-resonator-based designs. Our approach opens possibilities for theory and experiment in the interface of plasmonics and metamaterials to harvest many potential applications of both fields combined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Deposition of metals on binary alloy surfaces offers new possibili- ties for guiding the formation of functional metal nanostructures. This idea is explored with scanning tunneling microscopy studies and atomistic-level analysis and modeling of nonequilibrium island formation. For Au/NiAl(11O)~ complex monolayer structures are found and compared with the simple fcc(11O) bilayer structure recently observed for AgINiAl(11O). We also consider a more complex codeposition system. (Ni + Al)/NiAI(1 10), which offers the opportunity for fundamental studies of self-growth of alloys including deviations for equilibrium ordering. A general multisite lattice-gas model framework enables analysis of structure selection and morphological evolution in these systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Hydrogen production by methane decomposition and catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2− x  and Pt/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2− x  were studied. Results show that during the methane decomposition tests, in the absence of gaseous oxygen, hydrogen and CO were the main products and very small quantities of CO2 were recorded. The generation of these products lasted for about 2h, indicating that in the catalytic stability of these materials, the carrier plays an important factor. The addition of Gd and Zr cations to ceria had a positive effect on the catalysts stability. Regarding the catalytic partial oxidation of methane, a stable hydrogen production was recorded for 20h. Here, it is proposed that the formation of a Pt–O–Ce bond causes high stability of Pt in Ce-containing supports under oxidizing conditions at high temperatures because this bond may act as an anchor, inhibiting the sintering of Pt. The deposited carbon during the catalytic tests was oxidized and the CO2 profiles showed a sharper peak appearing at a lower temperature and a broader peak at the higher temperature. The first peak may correspond to the oxidation of coke on and in the vicinity of the metal and the second CO2 peak may represent the coke on the carrier. The CPOM as a function of O/C ratio was studied. It was observed that the catalyst with a higher ionic conductivity, Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2− x , generated a lower amount of deposited carbon.

AB  - Abstract: All four stereoisomers of 4,8-dimethyldecanal (1) were synthesized from the enantiomers of 2-methyl-1-butanol and citronellal. Enantioselective GC analysis enabled separation of (4R,8R)-1 and (4R,8S)-1 from a mixture of (4S,8R)-1 and (4S,8S)-1, when octakis-(2,3-di-O-methoxymethyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-γ-cyclodextrin was employed as a chiral stationary phase. Complete separation of the four stereoisomers of 1 on reversed-phase HPLC at −54 °C was achieved after oxidation of 1 to the corresponding carboxylic acid 12 followed by its derivatization with (1R,2R)-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexanol, and the natural 1 was found to be a mixture of all the four stereoisomers.

AB  - Abstract: We have studied spectroscopic properties of the 16kDa red carotenoid protein (RCP), which is closely related to the orange carotenoid protein (OCP) from cyanobacteria. Both proteins bind the same chromophore, the carotenoid 3′-hydroxyechinenone (hECN), and the major difference between the two proteins is lack of the C-terminal domain in the RCP; this results in exposure of part of the carotenoid. The excited-state lifetime of hECN in the RCP is 5.5ps, which is markedly longer than in OCP (3.3ps) but close to 6ps obtained for hECN in organic solvent. This confirms that the binding of hECN to the C-terminal domain in the OCP changes conformation of hECN, thereby altering its excited-state properties. Hydrogen bonds between the C-terminal domain and the carotenoid are also absent in the RCP. This allows the conformation of hECN in the RCP to be similar to that in solution, which results in comparable excited-state properties of hECN in solution. The red-shift of the RCP absorption spectrum is most likely due to aggregation of RCP induced by hydrophobic nature of hECN that, when exposed to buffer, stimulates formation of assemblies minimizing contact of hECN with water. We suggest that the loss of the C-terminal domain renders the protein amphipathic, containing both hydrophobic (the exposed part of hECN) and hydrophilic (N-terminal domain) regions, and may help the RCP to interact with lipid membranes; exposed hECN can penetrate into the hydrophobic environment of the lipid membrane, possibly to provide additional photoprotection.

AB  - Micronuclei (MN) and other nuclear anomalies such as nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs) are biomarkers of genotoxic events and chromosomal instability. These genome damage events can be measured simultaneously in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMNcyt) assay. The molecular mechanisms leading to these events have been investigated over the past two decades using molecular probes and genetically engineered cells. In this brief review, we summarise the wealth of knowledge currently available that best explains the formation of these important nuclear anomalies that are commonly seen in cancer and are indicative of genome damage events that could increase the risk of developmental and degenerative diseases. MN can originate during anaphase from lagging acentric chromosome or chromatid fragments caused by misrepair of DNA breaks or unrepaired DNA breaks. Malsegregation of whole chromosomes at anaphase may also lead to MN formation as a result of hypomethylation of repeat sequences in centromeric and pericentromeric DNA, defects in kinetochore proteins or assembly, dysfunctional spindle and defective anaphase checkpoint genes. NPB originate from dicentric chromosomes, which may occur due to misrepair of DNA breaks, telomere end fusions, and could also be observed when defective separation of sister chromatids at anaphase occurs due to failure of decatenation. NBUD represent the process of elimination of amplified DNA, DNA repair complexes and possibly excess chromosomes from aneuploid cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The synthesis of citrulline from arginine in the small intestine depends on the provision of ornithine. To test the hypothesis that arginase II plays a central role in the supply of ornithine for citrulline synthesis, the contribution of dietary arginine, glutamine, and proline was determined by utilizing multitracer stable isotope protocols in arginase II knockout (AII-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. The lack of arginase II resulted in a lower citrulline rate of appearance (121 vs. 137 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1) due to a reduced availability of ornithine; ornithine supplementation was able to restore the rate of citrulline production in AII-/- to levels comparable with WT mice. There were significant differences in the utilization of dietary citrulline precursors. The contribution of dietary arginine to the synthesis of citrulline was reduced from 45 to 10 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1 due to the lack of arginase II. No enteral utilization of arginine was observed in AII-/- mice (WT = 25 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1), and the contribution of dietary arginine through plasma ornithine was reduced in the transgenic mice (20 vs. 13 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1). Dietary glutamine and proline utilization were greater in AII-/- than in WT mice (20 vs. 13 and 1.4 vs. 3.7 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1, respectively). Most of the contribution of glutamine and proline was enteral rather than through plasma ornithine. The arginase isoform present in the small intestinal mucosa has the role of providing ornithine for citrulline synthesis. The lack of arginase II results in a greater contribution of plasma ornithine and dietary glutamine and proline to the synthesis of citrulline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Objective: We investigated the association of polymorphisms in FADS genes with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in serum phospholipids, lipid peroxides, and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Koreans. Methods: In this case–control study, CAD patients (n =756, 40–79 years) and healthy controls (n =890) were genotyped for rs174537 near FADS1 (FEN1 rs174537G>T), FADS2 (rs174575, rs2727270), and FADS3 (rs1000778). We calculated the odds ratios (ORs) for CAD risk and measured serum PUFA composition and lipid peroxide. Results: Among four SNPs, only rs174537G>T differed in allele frequencies between controls and CAD patients after adjustment for age, BMI, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia (P =0.017). The minor T allele was associated with a lower risk of CAD [OR 0.75 (95%CI 0.61–0.92), P =0.006] after adjustment. rs174537T carriers had a significantly higher proportion of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2ω6), lower arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4ω6), and lower ratios of AA/dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3ω6) and AA/LA than G/G subjects in both control and CAD groups. In the control group, 174537T carriers had significantly lower levels of total- and LDL-cholesterol, malondialdehyde, and ox-LDL. In CAD patients, rs174537T carriers showed a larger LDL particle size than G/G subjects. The proportion of AA in serum phospholipids positively correlated with LDL-cholesterol, ox-LDL, and malondialdehyde in controls and with 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α in both control and CAD groups. Conclusion: The rs174537T is associated with a lower proportion of AA in serum phospholipids and reduced CAD risk, in association with reduced total- and LDL-cholesterol and lipid peroxides.

AB  - Abstract: Off-farm work is a growing reality in the US agricultural sector as a whole. Another staple program in the US agriculture is the use of crop insurance. This paper assesses hitherto unaddressed issues of fuel consumption and hence pollution generated by farm households associated with off-farm work and crop insurance. We applied a quantile regression method on a unique national farm-level survey data to address the fuel consumption issues. Results indicate that off-farm work by operators tends to decrease fuel expenses. In contrast, households with crop insurance had higher fuel consumption thereby increasing fuel usage. Finally, our study shows that the net effect of these two activities resulted in an increase in the pollution level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary saturated fat on fasting triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels, and any mediation of this relationship by dietary carbohydrate intake. Men and women in the NHLBI Genetics of Lipid-Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study (n = 1036, mean age ± SD = 49 ± 16 y) were included. Mixed linear models were run with saturated fat as a predictor variable and fasting TG, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), low density cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density cholesterol (HDL-C) as separate outcome variables. Subsequent models were run which included dietary carbohydrate as a predictor variable, and an interaction term between saturated fat and carbohydrate. All models controlled for age, sex, BMI, blood pressure and dietary covariates. In models that included only saturated fat as a predictor, saturated fat did not show significant associations with fasting lipids. When carbohydrate intake and an interaction term between carbohydrates and saturated fat intake was included, carbohydrate intake did not associate with lipids, but there was an inverse relationship between saturated fat intake and VLDL-C (P = 0.01) with a significant interaction (P = 0.01) between saturated fat and carbohydrate with regard to fasting VLDL-C concentrations. Similar results were observed for fasting TG levels. We conclude that, when controlling for carbohydrate intake, higher saturated fat was associated with lower VLDL-C and TGs. This was not the case at higher intakes of carbohydrate. This has important implications for dietary advice aimed at reducing TG and VLDL-C levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. In a robust and consistent manner, sustained caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to retard the aging process in a variety of animal species. Nonhuman primate studies suggest that CR may have similar effects in longer-lived species. The CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of the Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) research program is the first systematic investigation of CR in nonobese human beings. In the phase 2 study, it is hypothesized that 2 years of sustained CR, involving a 25% reduction of ad libitum energy intake, results in beneficial effects similar to those observed in animal studies. This article presents the design and implementation of this study. Methods. The study is a multicenter, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A sample of 225 participants (22.0 ≤ body mass index [BMI] < 28.0 kg/m2) is being enrolled with 2:1 allocation to CR. Results. An intensive dietary and behavioral intervention was developed to achieve 25% CR and sustain it over the 2 years. Adherence is monitored using a doubly labeled water technique. Primary outcomes are resting metabolic rate and core temperature, and are assessed at baseline and at 6-month intervals. Secondary outcomes address oxyradical formation, cardiovascular risk markers, insulin sensitivity and secretion, immune function, neuroendocrine function, quality of life and cognitive function. Biologic materials are stored in a central repository. Conclusions. An intricate protocol has been developed to conduct this study. Procedures have been implemented to safeguard the integrity of the data and the conclusions drawn. The results will provide insight into the detrimental changes associated with the human aging process and how CR mitigates these effects. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - MAP3Kα, a gene that encodes a key conserved protein kinase, is responsible for initiating a rapid cascade of cellular events leading to localized cell death. Hypersensitive response, as it is termed, enables genetically resistant plants to limitmicrobial invasion under the right environmental conditions. Since knowledge of close physically linked genes is important for genome analysis and possibly for improving disease resistance, systematic DNA sequence analysis, gene annotation, and protein BLASTs were performed to identify and characterize genes in close physical proximity to a MAP3Kα-like gene in Beta vulgaris L. US H20. On the same 125 Kb BAC, callose synthase (BvCS) and phytochrome A (PhyA) genes were within 50 Kb of MAP3Kα. The close physical linkage of these genesmay result from selection for coordinated responses to disease pressure. Bert, a new chromodomain-carrying gypsy-like LTR retrotransposon, resides within an intron of the BvCS gene, where it is transcribed from the opposing strand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Dielectric properties of external surface, internal tissue and juice of Fuji apples during the last two months of tree-ripening were measured with an open-ended coaxial-line probe and a network analyzer at 24 °C from 10 to 4500 MHz. The firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), pH, moisture content and electrical conductivity were also measured to determine whether permittivity is related to apple quality. During the tree-ripening period, the permittivity and electrical conductivity did not reveal obvious trends. Moisture content and SSC remained essentially constant, while the firmness decreased and pH increased with maturity. No obvious correlations were found between permittivity and firmness, moisture content or pH. The linear relationship between surface permittivity and SSC was poor (R 2 < 0.2). The best R 2 for linear regression between loss tangent of tissue and SSC and between dielectric constant of juice and SSC was 0.61 and 0.67, respectively, at 4500 MHz. Further studies are needed to assess the potential usefulness of dielectric properties for sensing apple maturity or internal quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We tested the stability and tick transmission phenotype of transformed Anaplasma marginale through a complete in vivo infection cycle. Similar to the wild type, the gfp-transformed A. marginale strain established infection in cattle, a natural reservoir host, and persisted in immune competent animals. The tick infection rates for the transformed A. marginale and the wild type were the same. However, there were significantly lower levels of the transformed A. marginale than of the wild type in the tick. Despite the lower levels of replication, ticks transmitted the transformant. Transformants can serve as valuable tools to dissect the molecular requirements of tick colonization and pathogen transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To examine how increasing vegetable consumption from foods prepared at home (FAH) and foods prepared away from home (FAFH) would impact energy, dietary fibre and Na (sodium) intakes in the U.S.A.Design: Using data from the 2003–2004 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, dietary intake data from two separate days were fitted with a first-difference (fixed-effects) model. Vegetables consumed from all sources, including mixed foods and juices, were disaggregated and expressed as amounts equivalent to one cup of whole vegetables.Setting: Nationally representative sample of the U.S. population.Subjects: Individuals aged 2 years and above reporting 2 d of dietary intake data in 2003–2004 (n 7647).Results: Holding constant the total amount of food consumed, consuming an additional cup of tomatoes and potatoes from FAFH increases energy intake by respectively 1522 and 665 kJ, as compared with 246 and 367 kJ for FAH. Each additional cup of tomatoes from FAH is associated with an additional 179 mg of Na, compared with 113 mg for FAFH. All vegetable consumption increases fibre intake, except for potatoes and tomatoes from FAFH. Dark green and orange vegetables from FAH add the largest amount of fibre (1.38 g/cup).Conclusions: Because U.S. consumers frequently consume vegetables as part of mixed foods that add energy and Na, heavier consumption of vegetables as currently prepared raises the energy content and Na density of the overall diet. This is particularly true for vegetables prepared away from home.

AB  - Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and osteoporosis are 2 major public health problems that share common pathophysiologi-cal mechanisms. It is possible that strategies to reduce CVD risk may also benefit bone health. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that adherence to the 2006 American Heart Association Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations (AHA-DLR) is associated with bone health. Design: We previously developed a unique diet and lifestyle score (American Heart Association Diet and Lifestyle Score; AHA-DLS) to assess adherence to the AHA-DLR. In a cross-sectional study of 933 Puerto Ricans aged 47-79 y, we modified the AHA-DLS to test associations with bone health. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck, trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) was measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: For every 5-unit increase in the modified AHA-DLS, BMD at the femoral neck, trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) was associated with a 0.005-0.008-g/cm² (P < 0.05) higher value. No component of the AHA-DLR alone was responsible for the observed positive associations. For every 5-unit increase in the modified AHA-DLS, the odds for osteoporosis or osteopenia at the trochanter, total hip, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) were lower by 14% (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.92), 17% (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.76, 0.92), and 9% (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.99), respectively. Conclusions: Dietary guidelines for CVD risk reduction may also benefit bone health in this Hispanic cohort. Synchronizing dietary guidelines for these 2 common diseases may provide a simplified public health message. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01231958.

AB  - The article discusses chromosomal mapping of 65 microsatellites developed from microdissected BTA14 and BTA20 chromosome-specific genomic libraries. The BTA14 and BTA20 chromosome-specific genomic libraries were developed from a bovine-transformed fibroblast cell line containing the t(1:29) and t(20:14) translocations. Chromosomal inserts were prepared from scraped chromosomes from coverslips preparation, and ligated into lambda-ZAP express vector. Previous reports have described the successful use of chromosome-specific libraries for developing microsatellite markers to increase marker density on specific chromosomes. These polymorphic microsatellites should accelerate fine mapping of quantitative trait loci located on these two chromosomes as well as positional cloning of their responsible genes.

AB  - In recent decades, intense droughts, insect outbreaks, and wildfires have led to decreasing tree growth and increasing mortality in many temperate forests. We compared annual tree-ring width data from 1,097 populations in the coterminous United States to climate data and evaluated site-specific tree responses to climate variations throughout the 20th century. For each population, we developed a climate-driven growth equation by using climate recordsto predict annual ring widths. Forests within the southwestern United States appear particularly sensitive to drought and warmth. We input 21st century climate projections to the equations to predict growth responses. Our results suggest that if temperature and aridity rise as they are projected to, southwestern trees will experience substantially reduced growth during this century. As tree growth declines, mortality rates may increase at many sites. Increases in wildfires and bark-beetle outbreaks in the most recent decade are likely related to extreme drought and high temperatures during this period. Using satellite imagery and aerial survey data, we conservatively calculate that ≈2.7% of southwestern forest and woodland area experienced substantial mortality due to wildfires from 1984 to 2006, and ≈7.6% experienced mortality associated with bark beetles from 1997 to 2008. We estimate that up to ≈18% of southwestern forest area (excluding woodlands) experienced mortality due to bark beetles or wildfire during this period. Expected climatic changes will alterfuture forest productivity, disturbance regimes, and species ranges throughout the Southwest Emerging knowledge of these impending transitions informs efforts to adaptively manage southwestern forests.

AB  - Abstract: The electrochemical reduction of CO2 was studied on a copper mesh electrode in aqueous solutions containing 3M solutions of KCl, KBr and KI as the electrolytes in a two and three phase configurations. Electrochemical experiments were carried out in a laboratory-made, divided H-type cell. The working electrode was a copper mesh, while the counter and reference electrodes were Pt wire and Ag/AgCl electrode, respectively. Results of our work suggest a reaction mechanism for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 in the two phase configuration where the presence of Cu-X as the catalytic layer facilitates the electron transfer from the electrode to CO2. Electron-transfer to CO2 may occur via the X ad−(Br−, Cl−, I−)–C bond, which is formed by the electron flow from the specifically adsorbed halide anion to the vacant orbital of CO2. The stronger the adsorption of the halide anion to the electrode, the more strongly CO2 is restrained, resulting in higher CO2 reduction current. Furthermore, it is suggested that specifically adsorbed halide anions could suppress the adsorption of protons, leading to a higher hydrogen overvoltage. These effects may synergistically mitigate the overpotential necessary for CO2 reduction, and thus increase the rate of electrochemical CO2 reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Transplantation of male germ line cells into sterilized recipients has been used in mammals for conventional breeding as well as for transgenesis. We have previously adapted this approach for the domestic chicken and we present now an improvement of the germ cell transplantation technique by using an enriched subpopulation of c-Kit-positive spermatogonia as donor cells. Dispersed c-Kit positive testicular cells from 16 to 17 week-old pubertal donors were transplanted by injection directly into the testes of recipient males sterilized by repeated gamma irradiation. We describe the repopulation of the recipient''s testes with c-Kit positive donor testicular cells, which resulted in the production of functional heterologous spermatozoa. Using manual semen collection, the first sperm production in the recipient males was observed about nine weeks after the transplantation. The full reproduction cycle was accomplished by artificial insemination of hens and hatching of chickens. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The substituted pterocarpenes named aracarpene-1 (1) and aracarpene-2 (2) were isolated from wounded peanut seeds challenged by a strain of Aspergillus caelatus. The structures of these putative phytoalexins were determined by interpretation of NMR and MS data. The aracarpenes were investigated for their antifungal and antibacterial activities as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities in mammalian cells. Aracarpene-2 demonstrated high antibacterial properties against tested gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, whereas aracarpene-1 displayed low antibacterial properties against the same bacteria. Both compounds had no antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. Together with peanut stilbenoids that are also produced in the challenged seeds, these compounds may represent a class of low-molecular weight peanut metabolites with a defensive role(s) against pathogenic microorganisms.

AB  - Abstract: Cuticle tanning in insects involves simultaneous cuticular pigmentation and hardening or sclerotization. The dynamic mechanical properties of the highly modified and cuticle-rich forewings (elytra) from Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle) wild-type and body color mutant strains were investigated to relate body coloration and elytral mechanical properties. There was no statistically significant variation in the storage modulus E′ among the elytra from jet, cola, sooty and black mutants or between the mutants and the wild-type GA-1 strain: E′ averaged 5.1±0.6GPa regardless of body color. E′ is a power law function of oscillation frequency for all types. The power law exponent, n, averaged 0.032±0.001 for elytra from all genotypes except black; this small value indicated that the elytra are cross-linked. Black elytra, however, displayed a significantly larger n of 0.047±0.004 and an increased loss tangent (tan δ), suggesting that metabolic differences in the black mutant strain result in elytra that are less cross-linked and more pigmented than the other types. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that black elytra have a β-alanine-deficient and dopamine-abundant metabolism, leading to greater melanin (black pigment) production, probably at the expense of cross-linking of cuticular proteins mediated by N-β-alanyldopamine quinone.

AB  - Bauchart-Thevret C, Cui L, Wu G, Burrin DG. Arginine- induced stimulation of protein synthesis and survival in IPEC-J2 cells is mediated by mTOR but not nitric oxide. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 299: E899-E909, 2010. First published September 14, 2010; doi: 10.1 152/ajpendo.00068.2010.-Arginine is an indispensable amino acid in neonates and is required for growth. Neonatal intestinal epi- thelial cells (IEC) are capable of arginine transport, catabolism, and synthesis and express nitric oxide (NO) synthase to produce NO from arginine. Our aim was to determine whether arginine directly stimu- lates IEC growth and protein synthesis and whether this effect is mediated via mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and is NO- dependent. We studied neonatal porcine IEC (IPEC-J2) cultured in serum- and arginine-free medium with increasing arginine concentra- tions for 4 or 48 h. Our results show that arginine enhances IPEC-J2 cell survival and protein synthesis, with a maximal response at a physiological concentration (0.1-0.5 mM). Addition of arginine in- creased the activation of mTOR, p70 ribosomal protein S6 (p70 S6) kinase, and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The arginine-induced protein synthesis response was not inhibited by the NO inhibitors nitro-L- arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and aminoguanidine, despite induc- ible NO synthase expression in IPEC-J2 cells. Moreover, protein synthesis was not increased or decreased in some cases by addition of an NO donor (S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine), arginine precursors (proline and citrulline) in the absence of arginine, or insulin; S- nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine suppressed phosphorylation of niTOR, p70 S6 kinase, and 4E-BP1. We found a markedly higher arginase activity in IPEC-J2 cells than in primary pig IEC. Furthermore, mTOR inhibition by rapamycin partially (42%) reduced the arginine- induced protein synthesis response and phosphorylation of mTOR and 4E-BP1. We conclude that arginine-dependent cell survival and pro- tein synthesis signaling in IPEC-J2 cells are mediated by mTOR, but not by NO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The use of infrared (IR) heating for improving the microbial safety and processing efficiency of dry-roasted almonds was investigated. Almonds were roasted at 130, 140 and 150°C with three different methods: IR roasting, sequential infrared and hot air (SIRHA) roasting, and traditional hot air (HA) roasting. The heating rate and pasteurization efficacy of almonds under different roasting methods and temperatures were evaluated. Pediococcus sp. NRRL B-2354 was used as a surrogate for Salmonella enterica Enteriditis PT 30 for evaluating the pasteurization efficacy of different processing methods and conditions. When SIRHA roasting at 130, 140 and 150°C roasting temperatures was used to produce medium roasted almonds, 4.10-, 5.82- and 6.96-log, bacterial reductions were achieved with 38%, 39% and 62% time saving compared to HA roasting at each temperatures, respectively. The decimal reduction time of the bacteria at all roasting temperatures were calculated for SIRHA roasting as 8.68, 3.72 and 1.42min, respectively, with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.92 and the thermal resistance constant was found as 25.4°C. The total color change followed zero-order reaction kinetics and the activation energies were 73.58, 52.15 and 67.60kJ/mol for HA, IR and SIRHA roasting, respectively. No significant difference (p >0.05) was observed in sensory quality of medium roasted almonds processed with different roasting methods. We conclude that the SIRHA roasting is a promising new method for the production of dry-roasted pasteurized almonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Transmembrane proteins often contain nanoscale channels through which ions and molecules can pass either passively (by diffusion) or actively (by means of forced transport). These proteins play important roles in selective mass transport and electrical signalling in many biological processes. Fluidic nanochannels that are 1-2 nm in diameter act as functional mimics of protein channels, and have been used to explore the transport of ions and molecules in confined liquids. Here we report ion transport in 2-nm-deep nanochannels fabricated by standard semiconductor manufacturing processes. Ion transport in these nanochannels is dominated by surface charge until the ion concentration exceeds 100 mM. At low concentrations, proton mobility increases by a factor of four over the bulk value, possibly due to overlapping of the hydrogen-bonding network of the two hydration layers adjacent to the hydrophilic surfaces. The mobility of K+/Na+ ions also increases as the bulk concentration decreases, although the reasons for this are not completely understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: To investigate the coupled effects of solution chemistry and hydrodynamics on the mobility of quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles in the vadose zone, laboratory scale transport experiments involving single and/or sequential infiltrations of QDs in unsaturated and saturated porous media, and computations of total interaction and capillary potential energies were performed. As ionic strength increased, QD retention in the unsaturated porous media increased; however, this retention was significantly suppressed in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant in the infiltration suspensions as indicated by surfactant enhanced transport of QDs. In the vadose zone, the non-ionic surfactant limited the formation of QD aggregates, enhanced QD mobility and transport, and lowered the solution surface tension, which resulted in a decrease in capillary forces that not only led to a reduction in the removal of QDs, but also impacted the vadose zone flow processes. When chemical transport conditions were favorable (ionic strength of 5×10−4 M and 5×10−3 M, or ionic strengths of 5×10−2 M and 0.5M with surfactant), the dominating phenomena controlling the mobility and transport of QDs in the vadose zone were meso-scale processes, where infiltration by preferential flow results in the rapid transport of QDs. When chemical transport conditions were unfavorable (ionic strength of 5×10−2 M and 0.5M) the dominating phenomena controlling the mobility and transport of QDs in the vadose zone were pore-scale processes governed by gas–water interfaces (GWI) that impact the mobility of QDs. The addition of surfactant enhanced the transport of QDs both in favorable and unfavorable chemical transport conditions. The mobility and retention of QDs was controlled by interaction and capillary forces, with the latter being the most influential. GWI were found to be the dominant mechanism and site for QD removal compared with solid–water interfaces (SWI) and pore straining. Additionally, ripening phenomena were demonstrated to enhance QDs removal or retention in porous media and to be attenuated by the presence of surfactant. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Climate change has been identified as a causal factor for diverse ecological changes worldwide. Warming trends over the last couple of decades have coincided with the collapse of long-term population cycles in a broad range of taxa, although causal mechanisms are not well-understood. Larch budmoth (LBM) population dynamics across the European Alps, a classic example of regular outbreaks, inexplicably changed sometime during the 1980s after 1,200 y of nearly uninterrupted periodic outbreak cycles. Herein, analysis of perhaps the most extensive spatiotemporal dataset of population dynamics and reconstructed Alpine-wide IBM defoliation records reveals elevational shifts in LBM outbreak epicenters that coincide with temperature fluctuations over two centuries. A population model supports the hypothesis that temperature-mediated shifting of the optimal elevation for IBM population growth is the mechanism for elevational epicenter changes. Increases in the optimal elevation for population growth over the warming period.of the last century to near the distributional limit of host larch likely dampened population cycles, thereby causing the collapse of a millennium-long outbreak cycle. The threshold-like change in LBM outbreak pattern highlights how interacting species with differential response rates to climate change can result in dramatic ecological changes.

AB  - Abstract: This paper describes a method for the detection and quantification of 38 residues of the most widely used anthelmintics (including 26 veterinary drugs belonging to the benzimidazole, macrocyclic lactone and flukicide classes) in bovine liver using two different protocols for MRL and non-MRL levels. A dual validation approach was adopted to reliably quantify anthelmintic residues over an extended concentration range (1–3000μgkg−1). Sample extraction and purification was carried out using a modified QuEChERS method. A concentration step was included when analysing in the low μgkg−1 range. Rapid analysis was carried out by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS), which was capable of detecting residues to <2μgkg−1. The method has been single-laboratory validated according to the 2002/657/EC guidelines and met acceptability criteria in all but a few cases. The inclusion of 19 internal standards, including 14 isotopically labelled internal standards, improved accuracy, precision, decision limit (CCα) and detection capability (CCβ).

AB  - Abstract: The composition of thermophilic (60°C) mixed cellulose-degrading enrichment culture initiated from compost samples was examined by constructing a 16S rRNA gene clone library and the presence of sequences related to Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Deinococcus-Thermus, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were identified. Eight isolates capable of degrading cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), or ponderosa pine sawdust were identified as belonging to the genera Geobacillus, Thermobacillus, Cohnella, and Thermus. A compost isolate WSUCF1 (Geobacillus sp.) was selected based on its higher growth rate and cellulase activity compared to others in liquid minimal medium containing cellulose as a source of carbon and energy. Strain WSUCF1 and a previously isolated thermophilic cellulose-degrading deep gold mine strain DUSELR13 (Bacillus sp.) were examined for their enzyme properties and kinetics. The optimal pH for carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity was 5.0 for both isolates. The optimum temperatures for CMCase of WSUCFI and DUSELR13 were 70 and 75°C, respectively. For CMC, the DUSELR13 and WSUCF1 CMCases had K m values of 3.11 and 1.08mg/ml, respectively. Most remarkably, WSUCF1 and DUSELR13 retained 89% and 78% of the initial CMCase activities, respectively, after incubation at 70°C for 1day. These thermostable enzymes would facilitate development of more efficient and cost-effective forms of the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process to convert lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels.

AB  - Abstract: The knowledge of reaction mechanism is very important in designing reactors for chemical-looping combustion (CLC) of coal. Recent CLC studies have considered the more technically difficult problem of reactions between abundant solid fuels (i.e. coal and waste streams) and solid metal oxides. A definitive reaction mechanism has not been reported for CLC reaction of solid fuels. It has often been assumed that the solid/solid reaction is slow and therefore requires that reactions be conducted at temperatures high enough to gasify the solid fuel, or decompose the metal oxide. In contrast, data presented in this paper demonstrates that solid/solid reactions can be completed at much lower temperatures, with rates that are technically useful as long as adequate fuel/metal oxide contact is achieved. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations as well as experimental techniques such as thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), flow reactor studies, in situ X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS), in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to evaluate how the proximal interaction between solid phases proceeds. The data indicate that carbon induces the Cu–O bond breaking process to initiate the combustion of carbon at temperatures significantly lower than the spontaneous decomposition temperature of CuO, and the type of reducing medium in the vicinity of the metal oxide influences the temperature at which the oxygen release from the metal oxide takes place. Surface melting of Cu and wetting of carbon may contribute to the solid–solid contacts necessary for the reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the importance of constitutive modeling of the stress tensors in certain engineering issues, related to the pressure drop and skin friction, encountered in solids transport. To study this problem, we first give a brief account of the formulation of a two-component mixture based on the theory proposed by Massoudi, Rajagopal and co-workers. The mixture consists of a linearly viscous fluid infused with solid particles. The solids particles are modeled as a granular media and it is assumed that the mixture is dense enough so that we can use the theory of interacting continua. The subsequent boundary value problem, flow between two flat plates, is then solved numerically and results for various dimensionless numbers are presented for velocities and volume fraction profiles. The engineering quantities of interests discussed are related to the pressure drop and skin friction at the walls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Computational prediction of blood damage has become a crucial tool for evaluating blood-wetted medical devices and pathological hemodynamics. A difficulty arises in predicting blood damage under turbulent flow conditions because the total stress is indeterminate. Common practice uses the Reynolds stress as an estimation of the total stress causing damage to the blood cells. This study investigates the error introduced by making this substitution, and further shows that energy dissipation is a more appropriate metric of blood trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Soil can be a significant source of preharvest contamination of produce by pathogens. Demand for natural pesticides such as essential oils for organic farming continues to increase. We examined the antimicrobial activity of several essential oils against Escherichia coli O157:H7 in soil. Two essential oils (cinnamaldehyde and eugenol), two bio-pesticides (Ecotrol and Sporan) containing essential oils, and an organic acid (acetic acid) at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%, were mixed with organic sandy soil and inoculated with five different strains of E. coli O157:H7. Soils were incubated at room temperature (22°C) and samples obtained at 1, 7 and 28days were enumerated to determine survival. E. coli O157:H7 populations in soil were reduced by up to 5logcfu/g after 24h incubation at room temperature with 2% cinnamanaldehyde, Ecotrol, Sporan or vinegar. Reduction in E. coli O157:H7 by eugenol was not significantly different from control. Overall, E. coli O157:H7 strain 4406 was the most sensitive of all the five strains tested and cinnamaldehyde was superior to other treatments in reducing E. coli O157:H7 in soil. In general, increases in essential oil concentrations corresponded to reduced survival of E. coli O157:H7 with all oils used in this study. The results suggest that oils can reduce potential contamination of fresh organic produce inadvertently contaminated by soil. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Despite its fundamental importance, crown depth is often treated as a scalar rather than a distributed variable in avalanche run-out and fracture models. To date, no studies have examined the distribution of depth across crown transects. We present results on geometry, depth distribution, and spatial correlation for transects along the crowns of small to large avalanches. Crown heights are fit well by normal or Weibull distributions and are spatially correlated. Transects are thinnest and decreasing toward the flanks, perhaps associated with fracture arrest. Underlying and adjacent terrain seems to have little influence on our transects. Instead, wind transported snow and upwind features play a dominant role. We suggest deposition of new snow by wind is a Gaussian process that drives transect shape. Comparing strength distributions and coefficients of variation from previous crown face studies, we suggest differences in overburden drive distributions of strength measured across crown faces.

AB  - Abstract: A higher monitoring rate is highly desirable in the labs, but this goal is typically limited by sample throughput. In this study, we sought to assess the real-world applicability of fast, low-pressure GC–time-of-flight MS (LP-GC/TOFMS) for the identification and quantification of 150 pesticides in tomato, strawberry, potato, orange, and lettuce samples. Buffered and unbuffered versions of QuEChERS (which stands for “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe”) using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and disposable pipette extraction (DPX) for clean-up were compared for sample preparation. For clean-up of all sample types, a combination of 150mg MgSO4, 50mg primary secondary amine (PSA), 50mg C18, and 7.5mg graphitized carbon black (GCB) per mL extract was used. No significant differences were observed in the results between the different sample preparation versions. QuEChERS took <10min per individual sample, or <1h for two chemists to prepare 32 pre-homogenized samples, and using LP-GC/TOFMS, <10min run time and <15min cycle time allowed >32 injections in 8h. Overall, >126 analytes gave recoveries (3 spiking levels) in the range of 70–120% with <20% RSD. The results indicate that LP-GC/TOFMS for GC-amenable analytes matches UHPLC–MS/MS in terms of sample throughput and turnaround time for their routine, concurrent use in the analysis of a wide range of analytes in QuEChERS extracts to achieve reliable quantification and identification of pesticide residues in foods.

AB  - Abstract: The effect of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) on antioxidant enzyme activities, flavonoid content, and fruit quality of blueberries var. Duke (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was evaluated. Results from this study showed that AITC was effective in maintaining higher amounts of sugars and lower organic acids compared to untreated fruit during storage at 10°C. However, AITC reduced antioxidant enzyme activities [superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (G-POD), glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-POD), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR) and glutathione reductase (GR)] and non-enzyme components, ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH). AITC treatments also reduced the amount of phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, myricetin 3-arabinoside, quercetin 3-galactoside, quercetin 3-arabinoside, and kaempferol 3-glucoside) and anthocyanins (delphinidin 3-galactoside, delphinidon 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-arabinoside, petunidin 3-galactoside, petunidin 3-glucoside, petunidin 3-arabinoside, malvidin 3-galactoside, and malvidin 3-arabinoside) during storage at 10°C. The results from this study indicate that AITC does not promote antioxidant property or scavenge constitutive reactive oxygen species (ROS), but maintain blueberry fruit quality through other mechanisms.

AB  - Sophorolipids are carbohydrate-based, amphiphilic biosurfactants that are of increasing interest for use in environmentally benign cleaning agents. Sophorolipid production was tested for 26 strains representing 19 species of the Starmerella yeast clade, including Starmerella bombicola and Candida apicola, which were previously reported to produce sophorolipids. Five of the 19 species tested showed significant production of sophorolipids: S. bombicola, C. apicola, Candida riodocensis, Candida stellata and a new species, Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208. A high-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight MS assay was developed that showed S. bombicola and C. apicola to produce a lactone form of sophorolipid, whereas C. riodocensis, C. stellata and Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208 produced predominantly free acid sophorolipids. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences for the D1/D2 domains of the nuclear large subunit rRNA gene placed all sophorolipid-producing species in the S. bombicola subclade of the Starmerella clade.

AB  - • Premise of the study: Gene flow from crops to wild relatives has received considerable attention since the advent of genetically modified crops. Numerous researchers have found wild-crop hybrids to be nearly as fit as their wild parents, which suggests that crop genes may persist in wild populations. Components of the ecological fitness of cultivated sorghum, its wild relative, shattercane, and their hybrids have not been studied. • Methods: To assess the potential for gene introgression into shattercane, we crossed cultivated sorghum to a single inbred shattercane line to produce F1 hybrids and measured growth and several components of ecological fitness in relation to both parents in Nebraska, USA. • Key results: Germination of F1 seeds was similar to that of its shattercane parent except at high temperatures, where it was as sensitive as the sorghum parent. The F1 grew taller and produced more biomass than either parent, but the F1 leaf area index was intermediate. Fecundity of the F1 plant was similar to that of shattercane and much greater than that of cultivated sorghum. • Conclusions: Considering all data, the ecological fitness of shattercane x cultivated sorghum F1 hybrids may be equivalent to the wild shattercane parent, which suggests that crop genes that are either neutral or beneficial to shattercane would persist in populations within agroecosystems.

AB  - Abstract: Oleochemical carbonates are biobased materials that were readily prepared through a carbonate interchange reaction between renewable C10–C18 fatty alcohols and dimethyl or diethyl carbonate in the presence of a catalyst. These carbonates have various commercial uses in cosmetic, fuel additive, and lubricant applications. Oleochemical carbonates have not been examined for their applicability as phase change materials (PCM). The latent heats of melting and freezing for a series of symmetrical oleochemical carbonates ranging from 21-37 carbon atoms were evaluated to develop a fundamental understanding of the solid–liquid transitions for utilization in thermal energy storage (TES) applications. The phase transitions and associated thermal properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl carbonates had peak melting and freezing points of −2.2, 19.3, 33.7, 44.9, and 51.6 and −6.3, 14.3, 28.7, 40.3, and 46.9°C, respectively. In general, these carbonates exhibited sharp phase transitions and good latent heat properties. The latent heats of melting and freezing for decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl carbonates were 144, 200, 227, 219, and 223 and 146, 199, 229, 215, and 215J/g, respectively. These carbonates represent novel renewable-based PCM chemicals that compliment fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and their fatty acid esters while providing a potentially valuable biobased alternative to paraffin wax and salt hydrate PCM currently dominating the PCM market.

AB  - Abstract: Zinc oxide thin films, with thicknesses between ∼20 and 450nm, were prepared by spin-coating a sol–gel precursor solution (zinc acetate dihydrate and monoethanolamine in an isopropanol solvent) onto glass substrates, followed by heat treatment at temperatures through 773K. At 298 and 373K, the films exhibited the structure of a lamellar ZnO precursor, Layered Basic Zinc Acetate (LBZA). At higher temperatures, LBZA released intercalated water and acetate groups and dehydroxylated to form zinc oxide nanograins with wurtzite structure, which were preferentially oriented in the c-axis direction. Both the degree of the films'' c-axis orientation and the topography of their surfaces varied with heat treatment and precursor concentration. For films calcined at 773K, a minimum of micron-scale surface wrinkles coincided with a maximum in c-axis preference at intermediate concentrations, suggesting that release of mechanical stress during densification of thicker films may have disrupted the ordering process that occurs during heat treatment.

AB  - Abstract: Shape-memory alloys deform via the reorganization of a hierarchically twinned microstructure. Twin boundaries themselves present obstacles for twin boundary motion. In spite of a high density of obstacles, twinning stresses of Ni–Mn–Ga Heusler alloys are very low. Neither atomistic nor dislocation-based models account for such low yield stresses. Twinning mechanisms are studied here on a mesoscopic length scale making use of the disclination theory. In a first approach, a strictly periodic twin pattern containing periodic disclination walls with optimally screened stress fields is considered. Strict periodicity implies that the twin microstructure reorganizes homogeneously. In a second approach, a discontinuity of the fraction of secondary twins is introduced and modeled as a disclination dipole. The stress required for nucleation of this discontinuity is larger than the stress required for homogeneous reorganization. However, once the dipole is formed, it can move under a much smaller stress in agreement with experimental findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The impact that the position of double bonds has upon the properties of membranes is investigated using solid-state 2H NMR and MD simulations to compare positional isomers of 1-palmitoyl-2-octadecenoylphosphatidylcholine (16:0-18:1PC) bilayers that are otherwise identical apart from the location of a single cisdouble bond at the Î6, Î9, Î12, or Î15position in the 18:1 sn-2 chain. Moment analysis of 2H NMR spectra recorded for isomers perdeuterated in the 16:0 sn-1 chain reveals that average order parameters SÌCDchange by more than 35% and that the temperature for chain melting Tmvaries by 40 Â°C. At equal temperature, the SÌCDvalues exhibit a minimum, as do Tmvalues, when the double bond is in the middle of the 18:1 sn-2 chain and increase as it is shifted toward each end. Order parameter profiles generated from depaked (âdePakedâ) spectra for the 16:0 sn-1 chain all possess the same shape with a characteristic âplateauâ region of slowly decreasing order in the upper portion before progressively decreasing more in the lower portion. The NMR results are interpreted on the basis of MD simulation results obtained on each of the four systems. The simulations support the idea that the order parameter changes reflect differences in molecular surface areas, and furthermore that the molecular areas are a function of the strength of the acyl chain attractions.

AB  - Abstract: Mechanochemical transformations of lithium and sodium amides with calcium hydride have been investigated using gas volumetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and residual gas analysis. The overall mechanochemical transformations are equimolar, and they proceed as the following solid state reaction: MNH2 +CaH2 →CaNH+MH+H2, where M=Li or Na. The transformation kinetics of the lithium containing system is markedly faster compared to the system with sodium. The difference in the rates of solid state transformations, and therefore, in hydrogen release kinetics can be explained by difference in mobility of lithium and sodium atoms. Total energies and enthalpies of formation for different reaction products during the dehydrogenation of CaH2–MNH2 mixtures were calculated using density functional theory. Compared to thermochemical transformations, which proceed in accordance with thermodynamic equilibrium, reactions induced by mechanical energy drive the MNH2–CaH2 systems to nonequilibrium configurations with different final products.

AB  - We undertook one of the most comprehensive studies on the replication and intraspecies transmission characteristics of low-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in ducks, chickens and turkeys. Our results indicated that most of these isolates could replicate and be transmitted in poultry without inducing clinical disease. However, differences in transmission to contact control birds were noted, emphasizing the importance of having contact control cage mates in biological characterization experiments. Ducks supported the replication of viruses of wild aquatic bird origin in their respiratory and digestive tracts equally well. The viruses from wild aquatic birds were not effectively transmitted among chickens. In contrast, the wild-bird isolates and viruses of domestic bird origin from live-bird markets and commercial poultry operations replicated and were transmitted more efficiently in turkeys than in chickens or ducks. We also found a lower minimal infectious dose requirement for infection of turkeys compared to chickens and ducks. Our data support an important role of turkeys as being more susceptible hosts for avian influenza viruses than domestic ducks and chickens. These results highlight the role of turkeys as intermediate or bridging hosts in the transmission of influenza viruses from wild birds to land-based domestic poultry or among different land-based bird species.

AB  - Humans harbor distinct commensal microbiota at various anatomic sites. There has been renewed interest in the contributions of microbiota activities to human health and disease. The microbiota of the gut is the most complex of all anatomic sites in terms of total numbers of bacteria that interact closely with the mucosal immune system and contribute various functions to host physiology. Especially in the proximal large intestine a diverse microbiota ferments complex substrates such as dietary fiber and host mucins, but also metabolizes bile acids and phytoestrogens that reach the large intestine. It is now well established that microbiota composition differs between but over time also within individuals. However, a thorough understanding of the sources of variations in microbiota composition, which is an important requirement for large population based microbiota studies is lacking. Microbiota composition varies depending on what kind of sample is collected, most commonly stool samples, stool swabs or superficial rectal or intestinal biopsies, and the time of collection. Microbiota dynamics are affected by life style factors including diet and exercise that determine what nutrients reach the proximal colon and how fast these nutrients pass through (transit time). Here we review sample collection issues in gut microbiota studies and recent findings about dynamics in microbiota composition. We recommend standardizing human microbiota analysis methods to facilitate comparison andpooling between studies. Finally, we outline a need for prospective microbiota studies in large human cohorts.

AB  - Protein-based viscous gels can augment or replace carbohydrate-based ones for specific nutritional formulations such as in reduced calorie or low-fat food applications. In this study, slurries of whey protein isolates and calcium caseinate mixed with alginic acid (20% T.S.) were subjected to high-shear homogenization (microparticulation) at 27,000 rpm for 2, 3, 4, and 6 min. The resulting slurries were incubated with mushroom tyrosinase (E.C. 1.14.18.1) at levels of 3, 6, and 9 mg/100 g for 15, 30, and 60 min to facilitate gel formation of the alginic acid with the homogenized dairy proteins. The results indicate that the time of high-shear homogenization had significant ( P < 0.05) effect on the viscosities of the gels. Highest gel viscosity was obtained with 6 mg tyrosinase at 60 min, but increases in gel viscosity depended on time of shear, with 2 and 4 min shear resulting in higher viscosity (484 and 6,143 cP) and stronger complex viscosity (49 and 38 Pa.s at 1 rad/s), respectively, compared to the control (69 cP) and (12 Pa.s at 1 rad/s). Gels were stable in refrigerated storage up to 240 h, strengthened with time of refrigeration storage, and became significantly more viscoelastic. Optimal viscous properties were obtained at 4 min microparticulation, 60 min incubation, and 6 mg tyrosinase treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article uses data from household- and plot-level surveys conducted in the highlands of the Tigray and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. We examine the contribution of sustainable land management (SLM) practices to net value of agricultural production in areas with low vs. high agricultural potential. A combination of parametric and non-parametric estimation techniques is used to check result robustness. Both techniques consistently predict that minimum tillage (MT) is superior to commercial fertilisers (CFs), as are farmers’ traditional practices (FTPs) without CFs, in enhancing crop productivity in the low agricultural potential areas. In the high agricultural potential areas, in contrast, use of CFs is superior to both MT and FTPs without CFs. The results are found to be insensitive to hidden bias. Our findings imply a need for careful agro-ecological targeting when developing, promoting and scaling up SLM practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metagenomic and bioinformatic approaches were used to characterize' plant biomass conversion within the foregut microbiome of Australia's "model" marsupial, the Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenhi). Like the termite hindgut and bovine rumen, key enzymes and modular structures characteristic of the "free enzyme" and "cellulosome" paradigms of cellulose solubilization remain either poorly represented or elusive to capture by shotgun sequencing methods. Instead, multigene polysaccharide utilization loci-like systems coupled with genes encoding 4-1,4-endoglucanases and -1,4- endoxylanases-which have not been previously encountered in metagenomic datasets-were identified, as were a diverse set of glycoside hydrolases targeting noncellulosic polysacchar- ides. Furthermore, both rrs gene and other phylogenetic analyses confirmed that unique clades of the Lachnospiraceae, Bacteroi- dales, and Gammaproteobacteria are predominant in the Tammar foregut microbiome. Nucleotide composition-based sequence binding facilitated the assemblage of more than two megabase pairs of genomic sequence for one of the novel Lachnospiraceae clades (WG-2). These analyses show that WG-2 possesses numerous glycoside hydrolases targeting noncellulosic polysaccharides. These collective data demonstrate that Australian macropods not only harbor unique bacterial lineages underpinning plant biomass con- version, but their repertoire of glycoside hydrolases is distinct from those of the microbiomes of higher termites and the bovine rumen.

AB  - Among eukaryotes, four major phytoplankton lineages are responsible for marine photosynthesis; prymnesiophytes, alveolates, stra- menopiles, and prasinophytes. Contributions by individual taxa, however, are not well known, and genomes have been analyzed from only the latter two lineages. Tiny "picoplanktonic" members of the prymnesiophyte lineage have long been inferred to be ecologically important but remain poorly characterized. Here, we examine pico-prymnesiophyte evolutionary history and ecology using cultivation-independent methods. 185 rRNA gene analysis showed pico- prymnesiophytes belonged to broadly distributed uncultivated taxa. Therefore, we used targeted metagenomics to analyze uncultured picoprymnesiophytes sorted by flow cytometry from sub-tropical North Atlantic waters. The data reveal a composite nuclear-encoded gene repertoire with strong green-lineage affiliations, which contrasts with the evolutionary history indicated by the plastid genome. Measured pico-prymnesiophyte growth rates were rapid in this region, resulting in primary production contributions similar to the cyanobacterium Prochiorococcus. On average, pico-prymnesiophytes formed 25% of global. picophytoplankton biomass, with differing contributions in five biogeographical provinces spanning tropical to subpolar systems. Elements likely contributing to success include high gene density and genes potentially involved in defense and nutrient uptake. Our findings have implications reaching beyond picoprymnesiophytes, to the prasinophytes and stramenopiles. For example, prevalence of putative Ni-containing superoxide dismutases (SODs), instead of Fe-containing SODs, seems to be a common adaptation among eukaryotic phytoplank- ton for reducing Fe quotas in low-Fe modern oceans. Moreover, highly mosaic gene repertoires, although compositionally distinct for each major eukaryotic lineage, now seem to be an underlying facet of successful marine phytoplankton.

AB  - Seed dispersal by vertebrates is one of the most common and important plant-animal mutualisms, involving an enormous diversity of fruiting plants and frugivorous animals. Even though plant reproduction depends largely on seed dispersal, evolutionary ecologists have been unable to link co-occurring traits in fruits with differences in behavior, physiology, and morphology of fruit-eating vertebrates. Hence, the origin and maintenance of fruit diversity remains largely unexplained. Using a multivariate phylogenetic comparative test with unbiased estimates of odor and color in figs, we demonstrate that fruit traits evolve in concert and as predicted by differences in the behavior, physiology (perceptive ability) and morphology of their frugivorous seed dispersers. The correlated evolution of traits results in the convergence of general appearance of fruits in species that share disperser types. Observations at fruiting trees independently confirmed that differences in fig traits predict differences in dispersers. Taken together, these results demonstrate that differences among frugivores have shaped the evolution of fruit traits. More broadly, our results underscore the importance of mutualisms in both generating and maintaining biodiversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Phytochemical compounds (tocopherols, tocotrienols, and squalene) were measured in seven macadamia cultivars harvested from four locations on Hawaii island to establish whether these compounds enhance the oxidative stability of roasted kernels. Cultivars that had the greatest oxidative stability also had high total lipid-soluble antioxidant capacity. Tocopherols [delta (δ), gamma (γ), alpha (α)] were not detected in most macadamia nut samples, but macadamia kernels contained significant amounts of tocotrienols (31–92μg/g oil) and squalene (72–171μg/g oil) for all cultivars tested. This is the first report of variation for three tocotrienol homologs (δ-, γ-, α-T3) and total antioxidant capacity in macadamia nut cultivars. No statistical correlations were found between oxidative stability and tocopherol, tocotrienol, and squalene concentrations. However, two cultivars (HAES 294 and HAES 835) were identified with superior oxidative stability, suggesting that the kernel quality of these cultivars is more stable during storage.

AB  - Abstract: The flavour of thornless blackberries grown in Pacific Northwest including ‘Thornless Evergreen’, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Black Pearl’, ‘Nightfall’, ORUS 1843-3, ‘Waldo’, NZ 9351-4, and ‘Chester Thornless’ as well as ‘Marion’ was profiled by sensory evaluation and instrumental analysis. Sensory results showed that ‘Marion’ and ‘Waldo’ had the lowest sweetness score, while NZ 9351-4 and ‘Thornless Evergreen’ had the highest sweetness scores. ‘Nightfall’ and ORUS 1843-3 had significantly lower sourness, while ‘Black Diamond’ and ‘Waldo’ had significantly higher sourness. The taste data only partly matched with the objective °Brix and titratable acidity data. Descriptive aroma analysis indicated that ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Black Pearl’, ORUS 1843-3, and NZ 9351-4 were similar to ‘Marion’ in terms of fresh fruit, strawberry, floral, and raspberry aroma, while ‘Thornless Evergreen’, ‘Chester Thornless’, ‘Nightfall’, and ‘Waldo’ had more vegetal, woody, mouldy, and cooked fruit character. Instrumental analysis and calculated odour activity values (OAVs) indicated that furaneol, linalool, β-ionone, 2-heptanol, and carvone could be the major aroma contributing compounds in these blackberries. Generalised Procrusters analysis (GPA) indicated the chemical analysis matched with descriptive sensory analysis. Odour-active compounds of furaneol, linalool, geraniol, ethyl hexanaote, trans-2-hexenol, and β-ionone in ‘Marion’, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Black Pearl’, ORUS 1843-3, and NZ 9351-4 could account for their similarity in fresh fruity, floral, strawberry, and raspberry aroma; while 1-octen-3-ol, myrtenol, eugenol, and α-terpineol in ‘Thornless Evergreen’, ‘Chester Thornless’, ‘Nightfall’, and ‘Waldo’ could account for their vegetal, woody, mouldy, and cooked fruit flavour.

AB  - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and subsequent antiretroviral therapy have been associated with an increased incidence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease and has been shown to suppress cholesterol efflux from virus-infected macrophages by inducing Nef-dependent down-regulation of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter Al (ABCA1). Here, the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaque model was used to examine the consequences and mechanisms involved, SIV infection drove a significant remodeling of high-density lipoprotein profiles, suggesting that systemic inhibition of the ABCA1- dependent reverse cholesterol transport pathway occurred. The ABCA1 cholesterol transporter was significantly down-regulated in the livers of the SIV-infected macaques, and the viral protein Nef could be detected in the livers as well as in the plasma of infected animals. Extracellular myristoylated HIV Nef inhibited cholesterol efflux from macrophages and hepatocytes. Moreover, serum samples from SIV-infected macaques also suppressed cholesterol efflux in a Nef-dependent fashion. These results indicate that SIV infection is a significant contributor to primary dyslipidemia, likely through the ability of Nef to suppress ABCA1-dependent reverse cholesterol transport.

AB  - Abstract: Magnetic field and time induced steps have been observed in the recently discovered ternary silicide R6Co1.67Si3. Huge relaxation steps are observed across different loops in the low temperature magnetization isotherms. Giant relaxation present in this system indicates the existence of incubation time to get the saturated moment at a certain field. Measurement protocol sensitive magnetization behavior observed in this system may arise from the strong magnetostructural coupling and/or magnetic frustration. Electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance also reflect the magnetic state of the compound. Magnetocaloric effect is found to be large at temperatures close to the magnetic transition temperature.

AB  - Abstract: Previous studies with transgenic plants have indicated a tobacco anionic peroxidase can confer enhanced resistance to a variety of insects when expressed in different plant species. Tissue that expresses high levels of this enzyme often browns rapidly when damaged. Maize roots damaged under sterile conditions browned and had an anionic peroxidase induced. When introduced biolistically, maize callus transformants expressing a maize peroxidase gene with a predicted isoelectric point of ca. 5.1 produced browner callus compared to a corresponding β-glucuronidase (GUS) transformant as callus aged. Higher production of only one isozyme of ca. pI 4.5 was noted. When the callus was fed to two maize pest caterpillar species, growth rates were slower (as reflected by weights) relative to the GUS callus. Based on examination of published information and electrophoretic properties, this gene appears to code for Px11, a peroxidase isozyme that is primarily produced in root tissue and callus. When sequence of the gene in several inbreds was examined, coding variations were noted, and abilities to utilize ferulic and p-coumaric acids differed. These coding differences may influence the ability of corresponding forms of the peroxidase to promote resistance. In addition to potential use in marker assisted breeding, enhanced expression of this anionic peroxidase through breeding or genetic engineering may lead to enhanced insect or disease resistance.

AB  - Abstract: National data indicate that there was almost no change in the accuracy of body weight assessments of overweight women over the past 20years. The accuracy in weight assessment is influenced by a number of social-demographic and economic factors; many of them have opposite effects and cancel out each other. This paper examines changes in misperception of body weight among overweight women in the United States, using data from the 1988–1994 and 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Changes in characteristics of the population, such as the increased share of Hispanics in the US population, between these two time periods explain only a small portion of the changes in the accuracy of body weight assessment. Most of the differences come from changes in the association between population characteristics and the likelihood an overweight woman underestimates her weight status. Results also indicate that overweight women who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly Food Stamp Program) are consistently more likely to misperceive themselves as healthy weight or underweight than higher income overweight women.

AB  - Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the use of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), a piece of US tax law that allows for tax-deferred exchanges of like-kind property. Design/methodology/approach - The paper derives a theoretical premium value for exchanges and presents the first national level analysis of Federal tax data on the use of like-kind exchanges involving farmland between 1999 and 2005. Findings - There is significant interest in Section 1031 from stakeholders in rural communities because there is widespread belief that the recent growth in farmland values may have, in part, been stimulated by Section 1031 exchanges of farmland. Despite these concerns, little is known about the extent of such exchanges. Originality/value - This paper provides insight into the value and use of the IRC's Section 1031 provision. Based on simulations of a theoretical model using plausible assumptions about asset growth, the paper shows how proposed tax changes will affect the tax value of the deferral. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - DNA oxidative stress has been suggested as an important pathogenic mechanism in cognitive impairment and dementia. With baseline data collected from 2004 to 2008, the authors examined whether urinary 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a biomarker of global DNA oxidation, was associated with cognitive function in a sample of 1,003 Puerto Rican adults, aged 45–75 years, living in Boston, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area. Cognitive function was measured by using a battery of 7 tests: the Mini-Mental State Examination, word list learning, digit span, clock drawing and figure copying, Stroop, and verbal fluency tests. The primary outcome was a global cognitive score, averaging standardized scores across all cognitive tests. A higher 8-OHdG concentration was significantly associated with lower global cognitive scores, after adjustment for age, education, status of the gene for apolipoprotein E (APOE), and other covariates (Ptrend = 0.01). The difference in the global score, comparing participants in the 2 extreme 8-OHdG quartiles, was −0.11 (95% confidence interval: −0.20, −0.02), which was equivalent to accelerating cognitive aging by about 4 years, as observed in this population. Prospective studies are needed to elucidate whether elevated urinary 8-OHdG concentrations can predict the rate of cognitive decline and incident dementia. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: The objective was to determine the effect of time and temperature on the concentration of bioactive compounds during germination of Brazilian soybean cultivar BRS 258. The concentration of bioactive compounds was optimized using Response Surface Methodology, with a 22 central composite rotational design and germination time and temperature as independent variables. Germination was carried out in a germination chamber, using paper in trays containing 500g of seeds. Germination temperature and time modified the concentrations of bioactive compounds within the ranges studied. An increase in germination time at 25°C decreased the concentration of Bowman–Birk inhibitor, lectin and lipoxygenase. After 63h of germination, a temperature increase from 20°C to 30°C resulted in a decrease of lipoxygenase activity by 22.5%. Optimal increases in the concentrations of isoflavone aglycones (daidzein and genistein) and saponin glycosides were observed with a 63h germination time at 30°C. Both germination time and temperature had an influence on the composition and concentration of bioactive compounds in germinated soybean flour. Equations determined can be used to predict concentrations of bioactive compounds in germinated soybeans in relation to climate changes and thus optimize their potential use in human health and nutrition.

AB  - Abstract: An integrated bioconversion process was developed to convert corn stover derived pentose and hexose to ethanol effectively. In this study, corn stover was pretreated by soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA), which retained glucan (∼100%) and xylan (>80%) in the solids. The pretreated carbohydrates-rich corn stover was converted to ethanol via two-phase simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (TPSSF). This single-reactor process employed sequential simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), i.e. pentose conversion using recombinant Escherichia coli KO11 in the first phase, followed by hexose conversion with Saccharomyces cerevisiae D5A in the second phase. In the first phase, 88% of xylan digestibility was achieved through the synergistic action of xylanase and endo-glucanase with minimal glucan hydrolysis (10.5%). Overall, the TPSSF using 12-h SAA-treated corn stover resulted in the highest ethanol concentration (22.3g/L), which was equivalent to 84% of the theoretical ethanol yield based on the total carbohydrates (glucan+xylan) in the untreated corn stover.

AB  - Abstract: A large number of solid-state NMR and ESR experiments were explored as potential tools to study chemical structure, mobility, and pore volume of activated carbon. We used a model system where pecan shells were activated with phosphoric acid, and carbonized at 450°C for 4h with varying amounts of air flow. Through the use of different NMR experiments (e.g., CP-MAS, SPE-MAS, and DD-MAS) several structural parameters were calculated such as mole fraction of bridgehead aromatic carbons, number of carbons per aromatic ring system, and number of phenolic carbons per aromatic ring system. The relaxation time measurements (T 1, T CH, and ) were indicative of the relative mobility of different structural units. ESR spectra showed the presence of π-type aromatic free radicals in the carbonized samples with a slight shift in g value with increasing oxidation. The combined NMR and ESR data give a consistent picture of the carbon structure and the carbonization process, which is not easily available otherwise. In addition, the 1H NMR data on adsorbed water are shown to be consistent with the trends in the amount of pore volumes for different samples of activated carbons. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - A unique wheat disease resistance-like gene governs effector-triggered susceptibility to necrotrophic pathogens.

AB  - Plant disease resistance is often conferred by genes with nucleotide binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) or serine/threonine protein kinase (S/TPK) domains. Much less is known about mechanisms of susceptibility, particularly to necrotrophic fungal pathogens. The pathogens that cause the diseases tan spot and Stagonospora nodorum blotch on wheat produce effectors (host-selective toxins) that induce susceptibility in wheat lines harboring corresponding toxin sensitivity genes. The effector ToxA is produced by both pathogens, and sensitivity to ToxA is governed by the Tsnl gene on wheat chromosome arm 5BL. Here, we report the cloning of Tsnl, which was found to have disease resistance gene-like features, including SITPK and NBS-LRR domains. Mutagenesis revealed that all three domains are required for ToxA sensitivity, and hence disease susceptibility. Tsnl is unique to ToxA-sensitive genotypes, and insensitive genotypes are null. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicated that Tsnl arose in the B-genome diploid progenitor of polyploid wheat through a gene-fusion event that gave rise to its unique structure. Although Tsnl is necessary to mediate ToxA recognition, yeast two-hybrid experiments suggested that the Tsnl protein does not interact directly with ToxA. Tsn1 transcription is tightly regulated by the circadian clock and light, providing further evidence that Tsnl-ToxA interactions are associated with photosynthesis pathways. This work suggests that these necrotrophic pathogens may thrive by subverting the resistance mechanisms acquired by plants to combat other pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aberrant Hedgehog (Hh) pathway activation has been implicated in cancers of diverse tissues and organs, and the tumor growthinhibiting effects of pathway antagonists in animal models have stimulated efforts to develop pathway antagonists for human therapeutic purposes. These efforts have focused largely on cyclopamine derivatives or other compounds that mimic cyclopamine action in binding to and antagonizing Smoothened, a membrane transductory component. We report here that arsenicals. in contrast, antagonize the Hh pathway by targeting Gli transcriptional effectors; in the short term, arsenic blocks Hh-induced ciliary accumulation of Gli2, the primary activator of Hh-dependent transcription, and with prolonged incubation arsenic reduces steady-state levels of Gli2. Arsenicals active in Hh pathway antagonism include arsenic trioxide (ATO), a curative agent in clinical use for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL); in our studies, ATO inhibited growth of Hh pathway-driven medulloblastoma allografts derived from Ptch+/-p53-/-mice within a range of serum levels comparable to those achieved in treatment of human APL. Arsenic thus could be tested rapidly as a therapeutic agent in malignant diseases associated with Hh pathway activation and could be particularly useful in such diseases that are inherently resistant or have acquired resistance to cyclopamine mimics.

AB  - Abstract: Consumer awareness, pesticide and fertiliser contaminations, and environmental concerns have resulted in significant demand for organically grown farm products. The present study evaluates the influence that organic and conventional farming practices exert on the total phenolic content in eggplant samples from two cultivars, Blackbell (American eggplant) and Millionaire (Japanese eggplant), grown by conventional and organic farming practices with similar climatic conditions. In addition, plant-to-plant variation in phenolic content was determined from eight eggplant samples collected from different plants grown at various field positions. Samples were separately assayed for phenolic content by the two independent procedures, HPLC/LC–MS and Folin–Ciocalteu assay. The results of the HPLC analysis showed significant plant-to-plant variation (% RSD ranged from 22% to 48%) in 5-caffeoylqunic acid content (the most abundant phenolic acid) in eight eggplant samples collected from eight different plants belonging to the same cultivar and grown under similar conditions. The cv. Millionaire showed a higher total phenolic content compared to the Blackbell cultivar. We did not observe significant consistent trend in the phenolic content of eggplant samples grown with organic and conventional farming practices with both eggplant cultivars. We, however, observed a strong correlation (R 2 =0.87) between total phenolic content as assayed by Folin–Ciocalteu assay and 5-caffeoylqunic acid, a major phenolic acid in eggplant extract. This study concludes that multiple repetitive analyses of plant products collected from different plants grown over various time periods (seasons) at different locations should always be carried to unambiguously prove the impact of growing conditions on phenolic content or antioxidant activity.

AB  - Abstract: Saccharum (Saccharum spontaneum L. ssp. aegyptiacum (Willd.) Hack.), is a rapidly growing, wide ranging high-yield perennial, suitable for second generation bioethanol production. This study evaluated oxalic acid as a pretreatment for bioconversion. Overall sugar yields, sugar degradation products, enzymatic glucan hydrolysis and ethanol production were studied as effects of temperature (150–190°C), reaction time (10–40min) and oxalic acid concentration 2–8% (w/w). Time and temperature were combined into a single parameter, Severity Factor (SF) [Log(R 0)], and related to oxalic acid using a response surface methodology. Maximum total sugar yield was attained at a SF of 2.93 and 6.79% (w/w) oxalic acid, while maximum formation of sugar degradation products was observed at the highest SF (4.05) and 5% (w/w) oxalic acid. These were also the conditions for maximum simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of the residual solids. Commercial cellulases and Saccharomyces cerevisiae attained 89.9% glucan conversion and 17.8g/l ethanol. Pichia stipitis CBS 6054 fermented hemicellulosic hydrolysates from less severe conditions to ethanol with a yield of 0.35 (g e/g s). Maximal product yields were 69% of theoretical value and 90% of the SSF conversion efficiency for hydrolysate fermentation and SSF, respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A new UHPLC–MS/MS (ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry) method was developed and validated to detect 38 anthelmintic drug residues, consisting of benzimidazoles, avermectins and flukicides. A modified QuEChERS-type extraction method was developed with an added concentration step to detect most of the analytes at <1μgkg−1 levels in milk. Anthelmintic residues were extracted into acetonitrile using magnesium sulphate and sodium chloride to induce liquid–liquid partitioning followed by dispersive solid phase extraction for cleanup. The extract was concentrated into dimethyl sulphoxide, which was used as a keeper to ensure analytes remain in solution. Using rapid polarity switching in electrospray ionisation, a single injection was capable of detecting both positively and negatively charged ions in a 13min run time. The method was validated at two levels: the unapproved use level and at the maximum residue level (MRL) according to Commission Decision (CD) 2002/657/EC criteria. The decision limit (CCα) of the method was in the range of 0.14–1.9 and 11–123μgkg−1 for drugs validated at unapproved and MRL levels, respectively. The performance of the method was successfully verified for benzimidazoles and levamisole by participating in a proficiency study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Infection of domestic swine with highly virulent, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain Brescia, causes lethal disease in all infected animals. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in modulating the host cellular processes and evasion of the immune response have not been clearly established. To gain insight into, the early host response to CSFV, we analyzed the pattern of gene expression in infected swine macrophages, using custom designed swine microarrays. Macrophages, the target cell for CSFV infection, were isolated from primary cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, allowing us to utilize identical uninfected macrophages at the same time points as CSFV-infected macrophages, allowing only genes induced by CSFV to be identified. First, microarray probes were optimized by screening 244,000 probes for hybridization with RNA from infected and uninfected macrophages. Probes that hybridized and passed quality control standards were used to design a 44,000 probe microarray for this study. Changes in expression levels of 79 genes (48 up- and 31 down-regulated) during the first 48h post-infection were observed. As expected many of the genes with an altered pattern of expression are involved in the development of an innate immune response. Several of these genes had differential expression in an attenuated strain NS4B.VGIv, suggesting that some of these differences are responsible for virulence. The observed gene expression profile might help to explain the immunological and pathological changes associated with infection of pigs with CSFV Brescia. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: On the basis of evidence from animal and human studies, vitamin D has emerged as a potential risk modifier for type 1 and type 2 diabetes (type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes). Vitamin D is thought to have both direct (through activation of the vitamin D receptor) and indirect (via regulation of calcium homeostasis) effects on various mechanisms related to the pathophysiology of both types of diabetes, including pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, impaired insulin action and systemic inflammation. Observational case-control studies have shown that vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy or early childhood is associated with reduced risk of incident type 1 diabetes. There are no trials on the effect of vitamin D (ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol) on type 1 diabetes. An association between vitamin D insufficiency and incident type 2 diabetes has been reported in longitudinal observational studies, but the association is not consistent. Results from small underpowered trials and post-hoc analyses of data from larger trials designed for bone-specific outcomes show no effect of vitamin D supplementation on glycemia in healthy adults but vitamin D may retard the progression to diabetes in adults with glucose intolerance. Because vitamin D is an excellent marker of general health status, the positive results reported in some observational studies might reflect unmeasured and unaccounted confounding. Therefore, the hypothesis that vitamin D may modify diabetes risk needs to be confirmed in trials specifically designed for that purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Inhibition of photosynthesis by heat has been linked to the instability of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) chaperone, Rubisco activase. Examination of the recombinant enzyme showed that ADP and ATP protected against inactivation, whereas Mg2+ promoted inactivation. Heating caused aggregation of Rubisco activase characterized by disruption of secondary structure content and formation of insoluble protein. In contrast, incubation at room temperature without nucleotide caused the active ∼660kDa protein to form a soluble, but inactive aggregate of >2×106 Da. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and fluorescence established that structural perturbations in the aggregate did not reduce alpha-helical content significantly. Differences in the thermal stability between wild type and mutant Rubisco activase were observed for the recombinant proteins and when the proteins were expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis. That the sensitivity of these plants to heat differs indicates that the thermal instability of Rubisco activase is a main determinant of the temperature-sensitivity of photosynthesis.

AB  - Abstract: Z-trim is a zero calorie cellulosic fiber biopolymer produced from corn hulls. The micro-structural heterogeneities of Z-trim biopolymer were investigated by monitoring the thermally driven displacements of well-dispersed micro-spheres via video fluorescence microscopy named multiple-particle tracking (MPT). By comparing the distribution of the time-dependent mean-square displacement (MSD) of polystyrene micro-spheres embedded in three concentrations of Z-trim, we found that the degree of heterogeneity of the suspensions increased dramatically within a narrow range of concentrations. The ensemble-averaged MSD of 0.5 g/100 g Z-trim biopolymer exhibited a power-law behavior that scaled log-linearly with time lag. This behavior was similar to that of homogeneous aqueous glycerol solution. But the MSD distribution for Z-trim was wider and more asymmetric than for glycerol. Increasing Z-trim concentration caused more deviation of micro-spheres colloidal dispersion from homogeneity as detected by the MPT. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This study investigates the potential release of from carbonate aquifers exposed to seawater intrusion. Adsorption and desorption of in the presence of deionized water (DIW) and seawater were conducted on a large block of Pleistocene age limestone to simulate the effects of seawater intrusion into a coastal carbonate aquifer at the laboratory scale. The limestone showed strong adsorption of in DIW, while adsorption was significantly less in the presence of seawater. Dissolution of CaCO3 was found to prevent adsorption at salinities less than 30psu. Adsorption of was limited at higher salinities (30–33psu), due to competition with ions for adsorption sites. At a salinity <33, some absorption occurred as CaCO3 precipitated. Concentrations of between 2 and 5μmol/L were released by desorption when the limestone was exposed to seawater. The results of this study suggest that as seawater intrudes into an originally freshwater coastal aquifer, adsorbed may be released into the groundwater. Consequently, adsorbed is expected to be released from coastal carbonate aquifers world-wide as sea level continues to rise exposing more of the freshwater aquifer to seawater.

AB  - Abstract: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a disease of zoonotic and economic importance. In many countries, control is based on test and slaughter policies and/or abattoir surveillance. For testing, cell mediated immune- (CMI-) based assays (i.e., tuberculin skin test (TST) supplemented by the interferon gamma (IFN-γ) assay) are the primary surveillance and disease control tests for bTB. The combined use of the in vivo and in vitro CMI assays to increase overall sensitivity has raised the question of whether the IFN-γ response is influenced by injection of purified protein derivatives (PPDs) for TST. Published data on the influence of the TST, applied as the caudal fold test (CFT) or the comparative cervical test (CCT), on the IFN-γ assay are contradictory. Reviewing published data and including additional data, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) in naturally infected cattle, PPD administration for the single or repeated short-interval CCT neither boosts nor depresses PPD-specific IFN-γ production. Disparate results have been concluded from some studies using experimental infections, emphasizing the importance of confirming initial experimental-based findings with studies using cattle naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis. (2) In cattle experimentally infected with M. bovis, PPD administration for CFT boosts PPD-specific IFN-γ production for up to 7 days without any effect on test interpretation. Importantly, in naturally infected cattle, CFT-related boosting selectively increases the in vitro M. bovis PPD (PPD-B) response 3 days after CFT, resulting in an increased PPD-B response relative to the response to Mycobacterium avium PPD (PPD-A). In non-infected cattle, it cannot be excluded that the CFT induces a mild boost of the PPD-specific response, particularly in animals sensitized to environmental, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, thus decreasing the specificity of the IFN-γ assay. (3) In general, there is a lack of data clearly characterizing the effect of TSTs on the IFN-γ assay. Further studies are required to clearly describe the effects of both CFT and CCT in non-infected animals and in naturally infected cattle, especially in low reacting infected cattle.

AB  - Abstract: Phase formation, structure, and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in as-cast LaFe11.5Si1.5B x  (x=0.5, 1.0) compounds have been studied. The Curie temperatures, T  C , are ∼211 and 230K for x=0.5 and 1.0, respectively, which are higher than that of annealed LaFe11.5Si1.5 (T  C =183K), while the maximum magnetic entropy changes at the respective T  C  under a magnetic field change of 0–5T are 7.8 and 5.8J/(kgK). Wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS) analysis shows that only a small fraction of boron atoms is dissolved in the NaZn13-type structure phase, and that the compositions of the as-cast LaFe11.5Si1.5B x  (x=0.5, 1.0) alloys are much different from the intended nominal compositions. These as-cast alloys exhibit second-order magnetic phase transitions and low MCEs. However, based on the relative cooling power, the as-cast LaFe11.5Si1.5B x  alloys are promising candidates for magnetic refrigerants over a wide temperature range. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis was used to examine the genetic structure and diversity within the two large extrachromosomal replicons in Medicago-nodulating rhizobia (Sinorhizobium meliloti and Sinorhizobium medicae). The allelic diversity within these replicons was high compared to the reported diversity within the corresponding chromosomes of the same strains (P. van Berkum et al., J. Bacteriol. 188:5570-5577, 2006). Also, there was strong localized linkage disequilibrium (LD) between certain pSymA loci: e.g., nodC and rnfD. Although both of these observations could be explained by positive (or diversifying) selection by plant hosts, results of tests for positive selection did not provide consistent support for this hypothesis. The strong LD observed between the nodC and n:JD genes could also be explained by their close proximity on the pSymA replicon. Evidence was obtained that some nodC alleles had a history of intragenic recombination, while other alleles of this locus had a history of intergenic recombination. Both types of recombination were associated with a decline in symbiotic competence with Medicago sativa as the host plant. The combined observations of LD between the nodC and nifD genes and intragenic recombination within one of these loci indicate that the symbiotic gene region on the pSymA plasmid has evolved as a clonal segment, which has been laterally transferred within the natural populations.

AB  - Plant leaves are diverse in their morphology, reflecting to a large degree the plant diversity in the natural environment. How different leaf morphology is determined is not yet understood. The leguminous plant Medicago truncatula exhibits dissected leaves with three leaflets at the tip. We show that development of the trifoliate leaves is determined by the Cys(2)His(2) zinc finger transcription factor PALM1. Loss-of-function mutants of PALMI develop dissected leaves with five leaflets clustered at the tip. We demonstrate that PALM1 binds a specific promoter sequence and down-regulates the expression of the M. truncatula LEAFY! UNIFOLIATA orthologue SINGLE LEAFLETI (SGL1), encoding an indeterminacy factor necessary for leaflet initiation. Our data indicate that SGLI is required for leaflet proliferation in the palmi mutant. Interestingly, ectopic expression of PALMI effectively suppresses the lobed leaf phenotype from overexpression of a class 1 KNOTFED1-like homeobox protein in Arabidopsis plants. Taken together, our results show that PALM1 acts as a determinacy factor, regulates the spatial-temporal expression of SGL1 during leaf morphogenesis and together with the LEAFY/UNIFOLIATA orthologue plays an important role in orchestrating the compound leaf morphology in M. truncatula.

AB  - Abstract: The range of vertebrates that serve as intermediate hosts for parasites in the genus Sarcocystis remains incompletely defined. Here, we provide the first report of infections in treeshrews, describe the morphology of encysted parasites using light and transmission electron microscopy, and place this agent within a phylogenetic context by sequencing and comparing its 18S ribosomal DNA to that of related parasites. Muscle infections were diagnosed in four of 45 wild treeshrews captured in the vicinity of Kunming, Yunnan Province, Mainland China. Thread-like cysts (10.773±2.411mm in length, 0.106±0.009mm in width) had walls (0.538–0.746µm thick) that lacked perpendicular protrusions. The interior of the cyst was packed full with cyst merozoites, the shape of which was typical of Sarcocystis. The primary cyst wall consisted of a thin membrane supported by osmiophilic material, 31–60nm in thickness. The ground substance was about 105–526nm thickness. Cysts conformed to typical of ‘type 1’ sarcocysts. Freshly examined and frozen specimens did not differ in their cyst wall structure, however, the appearance of bradyzoites did differ: the conoid, rhoptries and micronemes were all visible in fresh bradyzoites; in stored bradyzoites, by contrast, the rhoptries appeared smaller, and although the conoid was visible, the micronemes were not. 18S rRNA gene was distinct from any previously reported sequence in GenBank. Their genetic and morphological uniformity suggest that these parasites, derived from treeshrews, represent a single biological species, Sarcocystis tupaia, sp. nov. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - About 60% of adults in the United States do not consume the estimated average requirement for magnesium, but widespread pathological conditions attributed to magnesium deficiency have not been reported. Nevertheless, low magnesium status has been associated with numerous pathological conditions characterized as having a chronic inflammatory stress component. In humans, deficient magnesium intakes are mostly marginal to moderate (approximately 50% to <100% of the recommended dietary allowance). Animal experiments indicate that signs of marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency can be compensated or exacerbated by other factors influencing inflammatory and oxidative stress; recent studies suggest a similar happening in humans. This suggestion may have significance in obesity, which is characterized as having a chronic low-grade inflammation component and an increased incidence of a low magnesium status. Marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency through exacerbating chronic inflammatory stress may be contributing significantly to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.

AB  - Abstract: Viability of Listeria monocytogenes was monitored on frankfurters formulated with or without potassium lactate and sodium diacetate at a ratio of ca. 7:1 and treated with lauric arginate (LAE; 22 or 44ppm) using the Sprayed Lethality in Container (SLIC®) delivery method. Without antimicrobials, pathogen numbers remained relatively constant at ca. 3.3logCFU/package for ca. 30d, but then increased to ca. 8.4logCFU/package over 120d. Regardless of whether or not lactate and diacetate were included, when treated with LAE, pathogen numbers decreased from ca. 3.3logCFU/package to ca. 1.5logCFU/package within 2h, but then increased to 7.3 and 6.7logCFU/package, respectively, after 120d. When frankfurters were formulated with lactate and diacetate and treated with LAE, pathogen numbers decreased by ca. 2.0logCFU/package within 2h and remained relatively unchanged over the 120d. These data confirm that LAE provides an initial lethality towards L. monocytogenes and when used in combination with reduced levels/ratio of lactate and diacetate as an ingredient for frankfurters provides inhibition throughout shelf life.

AB  - Abstract: Past research with high temperature molten carbonate electrochemical cells has shown that carbon dioxide can be separated from flue gas streams produced by pulverized coal combustion for power generation. However, the presence of trace contaminants, i.e., sulfur dioxide and nitric oxides, will impact the electrolyte within the cell. If a lower temperature cell could be devised that would utilize the benefits of commercially-available, upstream desulfurization and denitrification in the power plant, then this CO2 separation technique can approach more viability in the carbon sequestration area. Recent work has led to the assembly and successful operation of a low temperature electrochemical cell. In the proof-of-concept testing with this cell, an anion exchange membrane was sandwiched between gas-diffusion electrodes consisting of nickel-based anode electrocatalysts on carbon paper. When a potential was applied across the cell and a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide was flowed over the wetted electrolyte on the cathode side, a stream of CO2 to O2 was produced on the anode side, suggesting that carbonate/bicarbonate ions are the CO2 carrier in the membrane. Since a mixture of CO2 and O2 is produced, the possibility exists to use this stream in oxy-firing of additional fuel. From this research, a novel concept for efficiently producing a carbon dioxide rich effluent from combustion of a fossil fuel was proposed. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are captured from the flue gas of a fossil-fuel combustor by one or more electrochemical cells or cell stacks. The separated stream is then transferred to an oxy-fired combustor which uses the gas stream for ancillary combustion, ultimately resulting in an effluent rich in carbon dioxide. A portion of the resulting flow produced by the oxy-fired combustor may be continuously recycled back into the oxy-fired combustor for temperature control and an optimal carbon dioxide rich effluent.

AB  - AGAMOUS clade genes encode MADS box transcription factors that have been shown to play critical roles in many aspects of flower and fruit development in angiosperms. Tomato possesses two representatives of this lineage, TOMATO AGAMOUS (TAG1) and TOMATO AGAMOUS-LIKE1 (TAGL1), allowing for an analysis of diversification of function after gene duplication. Using RNAi (RNA interference) silencing, transgenic tomato lines that specifically down-regulate either TAGL1 or TAG1 transcript accumulation have been produced. TAGL1 RNAi lines show no defects in stamen or carpel identity, but show defects in fruit ripening. In contrast TAG1 RNAi lines show defects in stamen and carpel development. In addition TAG1 RNAi lines produce red ripe fruit, although they are defective in determinacy and produce ectopic internal fruit structures. e2814, an EMS- (ethyl methane sulphonate) induced mutation that is temperature sensitive and produces fruit phenotypes similar to that of TAG1 RNAi lines, was also characterized. Neither TAG1 nor TAGL1 expression is disrupted in the e2814 mutant, suggesting that the gene corresponding to the e2814 mutant represents a distinct locus that is likely to be functionally downstream of TAG1 and TAGL1. Based on these analyses, possible modes by which these gene duplicates have diversified in terms of their functions and regulatory roles are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Objective: To investigate the association of four common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at ABCG5 (i7892A>G, i18429C>T, Gln604GluC>G, i11836G>A) and five at ABCG8 (5U145T>G, Tyr54CysA>G, Asp19HisG>C, i14222T>C, and Thr400LysG>T) with plasma lipids concentrations and to explore the interaction between those SNPs and smoking in patients with FH. Methods and Results: ABCG5/G8 SNPs were genotyped in 500 subjects with genetic diagnosis of FH. Carriers of the minor A allele at the ABCG5_i11836G>A SNP displayed significantly higher HDL-C concentrations (P =0.023) than G/G subjects. In addition, carriers of the minor G allele at the ABCG5_Gln604GluC>G SNP had significantly lower VLDL-C (P =0.011) and lower TG (P =0.017) concentrations than homozygous C/C. Interestingly, a significant gene-smoking interaction was found, in which carriers of the minor alleles at ABCG5 (i7892A>G, i18429C>T, i11836G>A) SNPs displayed significantly lower HDL-C, higher TC and higher TG respectively, only in smokers. On the other hand, nonsmokers carriers of the minor alleles at ABCG5 (i18429C>T and Gln604GluC>G) SNPs had significantly lower TG concentrations (P =0.012 and P =0.035) compared with homozygous for the major allele. Conclusions: Our data support the notion that ABCG5/G8 genetic variants modulate plasma lipids concentrations in patients with FH and confirm that this effect could be influenced by smoking. Therefore, these results suggest that gene-environmental interactions can affect the clinical phenotype of FH. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for timely, comprehensive global agricultural intelligence. Timely information on global crop production is indispensable for combating the growing stress on the world's crop production and for securing both short-term and long-term stable and reliable supply of food. Global agriculture monitoring systems are critical to providing this kind of intelligence and global earth observations are an essential component of an effective global agricultural monitoring system as they offer timely, objective, global information on croplands distribution, crop development and conditions as the growing season progresses. The Global Agriculture Monitoring Project (GLAM), a joint NASA, USDA, UMD and SDSU initiative, has built a global agricultural monitoring system that provides the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) with timely, easily accessible, scientifically-validated remotely-sensed data and derived products as well as data analysis tools, for crop-condition monitoring and production assessment. This system is an integral component of the USDA's FAS Decision Support System (DSS) for agriculture. It has significantly improved the FAS crop analysts' ability to monitor crop conditions, and to quantitatively forecast crop yields through the provision of timely, high-quality global earth observations data in a format customized for FAS alongside a suite of data analysis tools. FAS crop analysts use these satellite data in a 'convergence of evidence' approach with meteorological data, field reports, crop models, attaché reports and local reports. The USDA FAS is currently the only operational provider of timely, objective crop production forecasts at the global scale. These forecasts are routinely used by the other US Federal government agencies as well as by commodity trading companies, farmers, relief agencies and foreign governments. This paper discusses the operational components and new developments of the GLAM monitoring system as well as the future role of earth observations in global agricultural monitoring.

AB  - Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide. The best strategy to control stripe rust is to grow resistant cultivars. One such cultivar resistant to most races in North America is ‘IDO377s’. To study the genetics of its resistance this spring wheat cultivar was crossed with ‘Avocet Susceptible’ (AvS). Seedlings of the parents, F2 plants, and F3 lines were tested under controlled greenhouse conditions with races PST-43 and PST-45 of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici. IDO377s carries a single dominant gene for resistance. Resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) techniques were used to identify molecular markers linked to the resistance gene. A total of ten markers were identified, two of which flanked the locus at 4.4 and 5.5 cM. These flanking RGAP markers were located on chromosome 2B with nulli-tetrasomic lines of ‘Chinese Spring’. Their presence in the ditelosomic 2BL line localized them to the long arm. The chromosomal location of the resistance gene was further confirmed with two 2BL-specific SSR markers and a sequence tagged site (STS) marker previously mapped to 2BL. Based on the chromosomal location, reactions to various races of the pathogen and tests of allelism, the IDO377s gene is different from all previously designated genes for stripe rust resistance, and is therefore designated Yr43. A total of 108 wheat breeding lines and cultivars with IDO377s or related cultivars in their parentage were assayed to assess the status of the closest flanking markers and to select lines carrying Yr43. The results showed that the flanking markers were reliable for assisting selection of breeding lines carrying the resistance gene. A linked stripe rust resistance gene, previously identified as YrZak, in cultivar Zak was designated Yr44. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Diuresis following blood-gorging in Rhodnius prolixus is the major process leading to the transmission of Chagas' disease. We have cloned the cDNA of the first receptor known to be involved in an antidiuretic strategy in insects, a strategy that prevents diuresis. This receptor belongs to the insect CAPA receptor family known in other insects to be activated by peptides encoded within the capability gene. We characterize the expression profile in fifthinstars and find expression is localized to the alimentary canal. Highest transcript levels are found in Malpighian tubules and the anterior midgut, which are known targets of the antidiuretic hormone, RhoprCAPA-a2. Two transcripts were identified, capa-ri and capa-r2; however, the latter encodes an atypical G proteincoupled receptor lacking a region ranging between the first and second transmembrane domain. Our heterologous expression assay revealed the expressed Capa-r1 receptor is activated by RhoprCAPA-c2 (EC50 = 385nM) but not by Rh0prCAPA-ccl. Structural analogs of the inactive RhoprCAPA-al were capable of activating the expressed Capa-r1 receptor, confirming the importance of the C-terminal consensus sequence common to CAPA-related peptides. In addition, this receptor has some sensitivity to the pyrokininrelated peptide, RhoprCAPA-αPKl, but with an efficacy ≈40-fold less than Rh0prCAPA-α2. Other peptides belonging to the PRXamide superfamily were inactive on the capa-r1 receptor. Taken together, the neuroendocrinological relevance of this receptor in facilitating the antidiuretic strategy in R. prolixus may make this receptor a useful target for development of agonists or antagonists that could help influence the transmission of Chagas' disease that occurs during diuresis in this medically important insectdisease vector.

AB  - The mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract is colonized by a complex consortium of bacterial species. Bacteria engage in chemical signaling to coordinate population-wide behavior. However, it is unclear if chemical sensing plays a role in establishing mammalian host-bacterial commensal relationships. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coil (EHEC) is a deadly human pathogen but is a member of the GI flora in cattle, its main reservoir. EHEC harbors SdiA, a regulator that senses acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) produced by other bacteria. Here, we show that SdiA is necessary for EHEC colonization of cattle and that AHLS are prominent within the bovine rumen but absent in other areas of the GI tract. We also assessed the rumen metagenome of heifers, and we show that it is dominated by Clostridia and/or Bacilli but also harbors Bacteroidetes. Of note, some members of the Bacteroidetes phyla have been previously reported to produce AHLs. SdiA-AHL chemical signaling aids EHEC in gauging these GI environments, and promotes adaptation to a commensal lifestyle. We show that chemical sensing in the mammalian GI tract determines the niche specificity for colonization by a commensal bacterium of its natural animal reservoir. Chemical sensing may be a general mechanism used by commensal bacteria to sense and adapt to their mammalian hosts. Additionally, because EHEC is largely prevalent in cattle herds, interference with SdiA-mediated cattle colonization is an exciting alternative to diminish contamination of meat products and cross-contamination of produce crops because of cattle shedding of this human pathogen.

AB  - Abstract: Hybrid devices built from organic and inorganic moieties are being actively researched as replacements for inorganic electronics, thermoelectrics, and photovoltaics. However, energy transport and conversion, at the organic–inorganic interface is not well understood. One approach to study this interface is to look at the smallest hybrid building block – the heterojunction of a single organic molecule with inorganic contacts. We present a review of this work, focused on fundamental transport properties of metal–molecule–metal junctions that are related to thermoelectric energy conversion, i.e., electronic conductance, thermopower, and thermal conductance. We describe the motives, strategies, and future directions for considering heterojunctions as building blocks for thermoelectric materials. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential element in crop nutrition, which can be growth limiting or an environmental contaminant, if present in excess. Tillage practices have a direct effect on the behavior and availability of soil P. Sorption and availability of various P forms were evaluated in an incubation–fractionation study of three soils, a Typic Paleudults (CR soil) and two Cerrado Oxisols (Latossolo Vermelho–Amarelo [LVA] and Latossolo Vermelho [LV]) with distinct biogeochemical characteristics and tillage management history. Phosphate and myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (mIPH) were strongly sorbed by the soils. Maximum adsorption capacities (S max) were 2.2–6.9, 3.3–7.8, and 1.6–19.8mmolkg−1 for phosphate in the 0–40cm depths of the CR, LV, and LVA soils, respectively. For mIPH, S max were 1.2–3.7, 3.7–5.5, and 4.6–5.2mmolkg−1. Saturation indices reflected the long-term effect of repeated manure applications on the Paleudults and the near saturation of its P holding capacity, in contrast to the recently cultivated Cerrado soils. Tillage method appeared to have altered P retention characteristics of the near-surface zone very slightly, while increases in ligand-exchangeable (EEPi) and enzyme-labile organic P (EDTA-PHP) forms were observed in no-till Oxisols. In the Paleudults, added manure P increased bioactive P fractions and P saturation of no-till near-surface soil zone. Estimates of all bioactive P fractions using the ligand-based enzymatic assay showed it to be an effective method for assessing P availability in soil and developing sustainable P management strategies, particularly in Cerrado Oxisols that were low in organic matter while having an extensive P-fixing capacity.

AB  - Abstract: A standardised profiling method based on liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray ionisation/mass spectrometry (LC–DAD–ESI/MS) was used to identify 46 flavonoids and 17 caffeic acid derivatives in the aqueous methanol extract of Flos chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat) (Compositae), an important Chinese herb. Fifteen caffeoylquinic acids and 15 flavonoids were positively identified and the remaining compounds were provisionally identified. The detected phenolics were present at concentrations greater than 0.001% of the dry plant material. Many of these phenolics have been reported to have human health benefits. Twenty-five compounds, including C-glycosylated flavones and aliphatic acid-containing caffeoylquinic acids, are reported for the first time in chrysanthemum flower, and this comprehensive analysis of the phenolic components of herb Flos chrysanthemum will be helpful for the quality control of this herb and its products, and to understand the usage and function.

AB  - Abstract: The effect of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) on radical scavenging capacity, and fruit decay of blueberries var. Duke (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was evaluated. Results from this study showed that AITC was effective in retarding blueberry decay during storage at 10°C. However, AITC-treated fruit decreased the contents of total phenolics and anthocyanins. Compared to control, AITC-treated berries had lower scavenging capacities against radicals of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (pyroxyl radical; ORAC), hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity (OH) and 2,2-di(4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), but promoted the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) radicals. The free radical scavenging properties of blueberry fruit with or without AITC treatment were also evaluated by electron spin resonance (ESR). Results of the ESR measurements confirmed that free radical scavenging capacities against OH, DPPH and were lower in treated fruit than in control un-treated fruit. The results from this study indicate that AITC does not promote antioxidant property or scavenging of constitutive reactive oxygen species (ROS), but paradoxically generates additional amounts of ROS to inhibit the growth and proliferation of microbial cells, thereby reducing decay in fruit tissue.

AB  - Abstract: Soybean is a major source of protein and other nutrients and non-nutrient bioactives for human health. The objective was to compare the bioactive compounds of a low-protein (BRS 133) soybean in comparison to a high-protein (BRS 258) soybean cultivar. The high-protein soybean contained 17% lower carbohydrates and a lower chemical score (63) in relation to the low-protein soybean, which had a higher chemical score (76), associated with the higher methionine content (1.2%). Cultivar BRS 258 had more calcium (15.5%), phosphorus (30.1%), iron (18.7%), copper (9.0%) and zinc (11.5%), and a higher concentrations of lunasin, BBI and lectin (20.3%, 19.0% and 27.1%, respectively) than the low-protein cultivar. BRS 133 had 75.4% higher concentration of total isoflavones (5.1% of total aglycones) and 31.0% total saponins, as compared to BRS 258. It was concluded that the low-protein soybean cultivar contained higher isoflavones and saponins, but lower levels of minerals and bioactive peptides, such as lunasin. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs and causing cleavage or translation blockage. miRNAs induced after parasitization of the lepidopteran host Lymantria dispar by the parasitoid wasp Glyptapanteles flavicoxis, which introduces a polydnavirus and other parasitoid factors, were examined to identify induced miRNAs that might regulate host genes and contribute to host immunosuppression and other effects. miRNA profiling of parasitized larval hemocytes versus non-parasitized ones by microarray hybridization to mature insect and virus miRNAs identified 27 differentially expressed miRNAs after parasitization. This was confirmed by real-time relative qPCR for insect miRNAs (dme-mir-1, -8, -14, -184, -276, -277, -279, -289, -let-7) using miRNA-specific TaqMan™ assays. Certain cellular miRNAs were differentially expressed in larval tissues, such as the potentially developmentally linked mir-277, signifying a need for functional studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Understanding adaptation of biological communities to environmental change is a central issue in ecology and evolution. Metagenomic analysis of a stressed groundwater microbial community reveals that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals, nitric acid and organic solvents (∼50 years) has resulted in a massive decrease in species and allelic diversity as well as a significant loss of metabolic diversity. Although the surviving microbial community possesses all metabolic pathways necessary for survival and growth in such an extreme environment, its structure is very simple, primarily composed of clonal denitrifying γ- and β-proteobacterial populations. The resulting community is overabundant in key genes conferring resistance to specific stresses including nitrate, heavy metals and acetone. Evolutionary analysis indicates that lateral gene transfer could have a key function in rapid response and adaptation to environmental contamination. The results presented in this study have important implications in understanding, assessing and predicting the impacts of human-induced activities on microbial communities ranging from human health to agriculture to environmental management, and their responses to environmental changes.

AB  - Abstract: Using the X-ray powder diffraction technique at various temperatures and applied magnetic fields, we have studied the magnetostructural properties of Ce(Fe0.95Si0.05)2. The X-ray diffraction data establish quantitative relationships between bulk magnetization and the evolution of structurally distinct phases with magnetic field and temperature, and confirm the distinct features of a first-order phase transition such as supercooling and superheating, metastability, and phase co-existence of different structural polymorphs. We observe the lattice volume mismatch across the structural phase transition, which appears to be the cause for the step behavior of the magnetization isotherms at low temperatures. The present study shows that the lattice distortion has to be treated explicitly, like spin, along with the effects of lattice–spin coupling to account for the magnetization behavior of this system. This structure template can resolve the issue of kinetics in this material as observed in different time scale measurements and with different experimental protocols. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Volatile constituents of the aerial parts of fresh white sage (Salvia apiana Jepson) were isolated by extraction with diethyl ether followed by high vacuum distillation with a solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) apparatus. The isolated volatiles were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. A total of 84 constituents were identified (constituting 95.1% of the total area), 11 of which were tentatively identified. The volatiles were characterized by a high content of hydrocarbon and oxygenated monoterpenes. The major constituents identified were 1,8-cineole (34.5%), camphor (21.7%), b-pinene (7.4%), a-pinene (6.4%), d-3-carene (6.4%), camphene (3.9%), limonene (3.5%), myrcene (3.2%), and terpinolene (1.3%).

AB  - Resource limitations, such as the availability of soil nitrogen (N), are expected to constrain continued increases in plant productivity under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). One potential but under-studied N source for supporting increased plant growth under elevated CO2 is soil organic N. In arid ecosystems, there have been no studies examining plant organic N uptake to date. To assess the potential effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on plant N uptake dynamics, we quantified plant uptake of organic and inorganic N forms in the dominant desert shrub Larrea tridentata under controlled environmental conditions. Seedlings of L. tridentata were grown in the Mojave Desert (NV, USA) soils that had been continuously exposed to ambient or elevated atmospheric CO2 for 8 years at the Nevada Desert FACE Facility. After 6 months of growth in environmentally controlled chambers under ambient (380 μmol mol−1) or elevated (600 μmol mol−1) CO2, pots were injected with stable isotopically labeled sole-N sources (13C-[2]-15N glycine, 15NH4+, or 15NO3−) and moved back to their respective chambers for the remainder of the study. Plants were destructively harvested at 0, 2, 10, 24, and 49 days. Plant uptake of soil N derived from glycine, NH4+, and NO3− increased under elevated CO2 at days 2 and 10. Further, root uptake of organic N as glycine occurred as intact amino acid within the first hour after N treatment, indicated by ~1:1 M enrichment ratios of 13C:15N. Plant N uptake responses to elevated CO2 are often species-specific and could potentially shift competitive interactions between co-occurring species. Thus, physiological changes in root N uptake dynamics coupled with previously observed changes in the availability of soil N resources could impact plant community structure as well as ecosystem nutrient cycling under increasing atmospheric CO2 levels in the Mojave Desert.

AB  - Abstract: Multi-antibiotic resistant (MR) Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium and Newport are an increasing concern in human and animal health. Many strains are known to carry antibiotic resistance determinants on multiple plasmids, yet detailed information has been scarce. Three plasmids conferring kanamycin (Kan) resistance were isolated and nucleotide sequences were determined. Two KanR plasmids from Salmonella Newport strains, pSN11/00Kan and pSN02/01Kan, were found to be identical and were 5698bp in size. Plasmid pG7601Kan from Salmonella Typhimurium phage type U302 strain G7601 was 3208bp, and was the same as the previously reported pU302S from another U302 strain G8430. All three plasmids carried identical aph(3′)-I genes. The plasmids were ColE1-like, containing RNA I/RNA II and the rom gene. Plasmids pSN11/00Kan and pSN02/01Kan also carried mobilization genes mobC and mobABD, similar to those of the pColK-K235 and pColD-157 plasmids from the colicinogenic Escherichia coli strains. All three plasmids were stable without kanamycin selection for ∼100 generations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The relatedness among methanol-assimilating yeasts assigned to the genus Ogataea and neighboring taxa (Phylum Ascomycota, Subphylum Saccharomycotina, Class Saccharomycetes, Order Saccharomycetales) was determined from phylogenetic analyses of gene sequences for nuclear large and small subunit (SSU) rRNAs, translation elongation factor-1α and mitochondrial SSU rRNA. On the basis of the analyses, Williopsis salicorniae and seven species of Pichia are proposed for transfer to the genus Ogataea, which has been emended, and Pichia angophorae, a nonhyphal species, is proposed for transfer to the mycelium forming genus Ambrosiozyma. Pichia toletana and Pichia xylosa form an independent lineage and are assigned to the genus Peterozyma, which is newly proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Chemisorption of organosulfur molecules, such as alkanethiols, arenethiols and disulfide compounds on gold surfaces and their subsequent self-organization is the archetypal process for molecular self-assembly on surfaces. Owing to their ease of preparation and high versatility, alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been widely studied for potential applications including surface functionalization, molecular motors, molecular electronics, and immobilization of biological molecules. Despite fundamental advances, the dissociative chemistry of the sulfur headgroup on gold leading to the formation of the sulfur–gold anchor bond has remained controversial. This review summarizes the recent progress in the understanding of the geometrical and electronic structure of the anchor bond. Particular attention is drawn to the involvement of gold adatoms at all stages of alkanethiol self-assembly, including the dissociation of the disulfide (S–S) and hydrogen-sulfide (S–H) bonds and subsequent formation of the self-assembled structure. Gold adatom chemistry is proposed here to be a unifying theme that explains various aspects of the alkanethiol self-assembly and reconciles experimental evidence provided by scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopic methods of surface science. While several features of alkanethiol self-assembly have yet to be revisited in light of the new adatom-based models, the successes of alkanethiol SAMs suggest that adatom-mediated surface chemistry may be a viable future approach for the construction of self-assembled monolayers involving molecules which do not contain sulfur.

AB  - Abstract: Investigations of keratins extracted from wool by reduction hydrolysis and by alkaline hydrolysis showed that their chemical compositions and secondary structures were similar to original wool. The keratin isolates were similar in amino acid, Amides I and II, and secondary structure to each other and to original wool. From SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, keratin isolated by reduction contained protein homologs of molecular weight, ∼40–60kDa and keratin isolate from alkaline hydrolysis contained peptide fragments of ∼6–8kDa. MALDI-TOF/TOF spectrometry confirmed that the reduction isolate contained Type II microfibrillar component 7C, hair Type II intermediate filament, Type I microfibrillar 48kDa component 8C-1, and Type I microfibrillar 47.6kDa protein homologs which contained alanine, glutamine, glutamic acid, leucine, serine, leucine, and cystine with highest amounts glutamic acid and leucine amino acids. FTIR spectroscopy was applied to examine secondary structure to confirm the content of α-helix/β-sheet/disordered regions for original wool (58.2%/37.9%/3.9%); keratin from reduction (36.7%/50.2%/13.1%); and keratin from alkaline hydrolysis (25.7%/51.8%/22.5%). The higher content of β-sheet secondary structure and intact α-helical conformation characterized these isolates as viable starting materials for chemical modification to form novel bio-based materials useful in industrial formulations and compositions. In particular keratin extracted by reduction with the molecular weight of original wool and the probability of useful mechanical properties can be transformed into stand-alone products of various shapes and forms such as porous foams, sponges, mats, and films for bio-based, adaptable structures.

AB  - Abstract: Naturally occurring Sarcocystis neurona infection in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo) with rhinitis and disseminated disease are described for the first time. The ferret exhibited severe rhinitis with intra-lesional S. neurona merozoites and schizonts. Diagnosis was confirmed immunohistochemically by staining with S. neurona-specific antibodies, and by phylogenetic analyses of conserved and variable portions of nuclear ribosomal DNA. On the basis of intense schizogony in the nasal mucosa, we propose the possibility of an olfactory nerve pathway route of infection for S. neurona meningoencephalitis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This article describes the comparison of different versions of an easy, rapid and low-cost sample preparation approach for the determination of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables by concurrent use of gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) for detection. The sample preparation approach is known as QuEChERS, which stands for “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe”. The three compared versions were based on the original unbuffered method, which was first published in 2003, and two interlaboratory validated versions: AOAC Official Method 2007.01, which uses acetate buffering, and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Standard Method EN 15662, which calls for citrate buffering. LC–MS/MS and GC–MS analyses using each method were tested from 50 to 1000ng/g in apple–blueberry sauce, peas and limes spiked with 32 representative pesticides. As expected, the results were excellent (overall average of 98% recoveries with 10% RSD) using all 3 versions, except the unbuffered method gave somewhat lower recoveries for the few pH-dependent pesticides. The different methods worked equally well for all matrices tested with equivalent amounts of matrix co-extractives measured, matrix effects on quantification and chemical noise from matrix in the chromatographic backgrounds. The acetate-buffered version gave higher and more consistent recoveries for pymetrozine than the other versions in all 3 matrices and for thiabendazole in limes. None of the versions consistently worked well for chlorothalonil, folpet or tolylfluanid in peas, but the acetate-buffered method gave better results for screening of those pesticides. Also, due to the recent shortage in acetonitrile (MeCN), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) was evaluated as a substitute solvent in the acetate-buffered QuEChERS version, but it generally led to less clean extracts and lower recoveries of pymetrozine, thiabendazole, acephate, methamidophos, omethoate and dimethoate. In summary, the acetate-buffered version of QuEChERS using MeCN exhibited advantages compared to the other tested methods in the study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Maize bran was treated with microwave irradiation (160–200°C for 2–20min) to release feruloylated arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS). Lower temperatures and shorter treatment times were consistent with low AXOS yields, while higher temperatures and longer reaction times also resulted in low yields, which were contaminated with increasing levels of monosaccharides, free ferulic acid, and furfural. Maximum release of AXOS, accompanied by low production of monosaccharides, free ferulic acid, and furfural, occurred with treatment at 180°C for 10min or 200°C for 2min. Under these conditions, about 50% of the initial arabinoxylan content could be released as AXOS, containing a wide variety of molecular weights. AXOS were highly feruloylated, containing 6.62 and 8.00g of esterified ferulate/100g of AXOS. These feruloylated AXOS may provide health benefits, including prebiotic effects and prevention of detrimental oxidation reactions. The evaluation of these benefits will be the subject of future research. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Previous studies have indicated that salmonid fertilization success may be very sensitive to elevated concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) with effects at concentrations as low as 250mgl−1 being reported. However, interpretation of these studies is complicated by poor control performance and variable concentration response relationships. To address this, a series of experiments were performed to evaluate TDS effects on Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) fertilization success and identify possible mechanisms for previously observed test variability and any observed effects of TDS. Results indicate that some of the experiments reported here were likely confounded by extended milt holding times prior to experiment initiation. Milt holding times >6h were shown to significantly reduce control fertilization and corresponding concentration response relationships were variable. When milt holding time was minimized during fertilization experiments, consistent control performance with >90% control fertilization was achieved and consistent concentration response relationships were observed for both species examined. Experiments performed under these conditions indicate that Arctic Grayling and Dolly Varden fertilization success is not sensitive to elevated TDS with EC20s (concentration causing 20% effect) of >2782 and >1817mgl−1 (the highest concentrations tested), respectively. However, TDS was shown to significantly affect embryo water absorption during the water hardening phase immediately following fertilization. The lowest observable effect concentrations (LOECs) for this endpoint were 1402 and 964mgl−1 for Arctic Grayling and Dolly Varden, respectively. The effect of reduced embryo turgidity, due to impaired water absorption, on resistance to mechanical damage under real world conditions needs further investigation in order to understand the implications of this observed effect.

AB  - Campylobacter spp. are responsible for a large number of the bacterial food poisoning cases worldwide. Despite being sensitive to oxygen and nutritionally fastidious, Campylobacter spp. are able to survive in food processing environments and reach consumers in sufficient numbers to cause disease. To investigate Campy. lobacter persistence on processed chicken, exudates from chickens produced for consumer sale were collected and sterilized. Two types of exudates from chicken products were collected: enhanced, where a marinade was added to the chickens during processing, and nonenhanced, where no additives were added during processing. Exudates from enhanced chicken products examined in this study contained a mixture of polyphosphates. Exudate samples were inoculated with Campylobacterjejuni or Campylobacter coli strains and incubated under a range of environmental conditions, and viable bacteria present in the resultant cultures were enumerated. When incubated at 42°C in a microaerobic environment, exudates from enhanced chicken products resulted in increased survival of C.jejuni and C. coli compared with that in nonenhanced exudates in the range of <1 to >4 log CFU/ml. Under more relevant food storage conditions (4°C and normal atmosphere), the exudates from enhanced chicken products also demonstrated improved Campylobacter survival compared with that in non-enhanced exudates. Polyphosphates present in the enhanced exudates were determined to be largely responsible for the improved survival observed when the two types of exudates were compared. Therefore, polyphosphates used to enhance chicken quality aid in sustaining the numbers of Campylobacter bacteria, increasing the opportunity for disease via cross-contamination or improperly cooked poultry.

AB  - Abstract: ‘Black Diamond’ is a recently developed thornless blackberry cultivar with large fruit size, high yield, and good processed fruit quality that has rapidly become an industry standard. The flavour of ‘Black Diamond’ fruit is not the same as ‘Marion’, which is regarded by the industry as having the ideal flavour. In order to understand the aroma differences, the volatile composition of ‘Marion’ and ‘Black Diamond’ was analysed using stir bar sorptive extraction-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SBSE-GC–MS) and solid-phase extraction (SPE)-microvial insert thermal desorption-GC–MS for two growing seasons. Although seasonal variations were present, the overall volatile profile in ‘Marion’ and ‘Black Diamond’ were very similar, but the concentrations of some aroma compounds varied greatly. Odour-activity value (OAV) indicated that furaneol, linalool, β-ionone, and hexanal could be most important in ‘Marion’, while in ‘Black Diamond’, the most important compounds were linalool, β-ionone, furaneol, and 2-heptanol. The major difference between the cultivars for aroma compounds was that ‘Marion’ had a 5 times higher OAV of furaneol than ‘Black Diamond’, while ‘Black Diamond’ had a 3 times higher OAV of linalool than ‘Marion’. The chemical analysis results matched with the descriptive sensory evaluation that ‘Marion’ had more berry, fruity, strawberry aroma while ‘Black Diamond’ had more floral aroma.

AB  - The mealybug Oracella acuta, native to the southeastern US, was accidentally introduced into slash pine plantations in Guangdong Province in China in 1988. A classical biological control program was initiated in 1995, and the parasitoids Allotropa oracellae, Acerophaus coccois, and Zarhopalus debarri were imported from the US. A total of 19 972 parasitized mealybugs were shipped to China from 1996–2004, from which 15 430 wasps emerged, 12 933 of which were the three target species. Efforts to establish a mass-rearing program for the parasitoids in China failed. Five field release sites were established, and 6 020 parasitoids were released. Only 118 individuals of the three imported species were collected during establishment checks, although several wasps were collected 1–2 years after the last parasitoid release. Over 2 000 Anagyrus dactylopii, a cosmopolitan parasitoid, emerged from the parasitized mealybugs collected, a majority from the Taishan area near the site of the original introduction of O. acuta. To date the imported parasitoids have failed to establish, and natural enemies have not noticeably reduced mealybug populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: For certain porous media and initial conditions, constant flux infiltrations show a saturation profile which exhibits overshoot. This overshoot is the cause of gravity driven fingering, cannot be described by standard models of unsaturated flow, and is likely controlled by the exact nature of the pore filling at the initial front. Here we report synchrotron X-ray micro-tomography measurements of the porous medium and measure which pores are filled by water and air at the initial wetting front as a function of flux. We find that at high fluxes all the pores are filled with water; for intermediate fluxes, the pores along the edge of the column remain unsaturated; and for low fluxes the pores in the bulk of the experimental column remain unsaturated. This suggests that the unsaturated overshoot conditions observed at higher fluxes are primarily an edge effect of the column. The results can help delineate the correct continuum models that can capture overshoot and gravity driven fingering. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article discusses a brush cleaning comb developed by the Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) that uses an approach suggested by the bend Seed Extractory in Oregon. The improved comb keeps the awns from clogging the rotating brushes when grass seeds are cleaned through brushing machines. The base of the comb is universal and the pin block is drilled to fit particular punch pins used with proper spacing for a particular mantle screen. A reduced print of drawings of the combs that can be ordered is also provided.

AB  - The development and introduction of nutritionally enhanced margarines in the mid-1990s offered the opportunity to improve public health through the use of a cholesterol-lowering food product. Product approval in the USA followed that in Europe. The public approval and market acceptance of the nutritionally enhanced product illustrate the challenges faced by offering improved health attributes through food product innovation. Although the product Benecol received public endorsement and was relatively quickly accepted by Finnish consumers, public acceptance has been slower in the USA. Our study traces consumer response to the introduction of nutritionally enhanced margarine products in the US market. Household scanner data allow estimation of hedonic price functions and a probit model on the choice of the health-promoting product attribute. US consumers of the enhanced margarine products place a relatively high value on the cholesterol-lowering attribute, although a relatively small share of households purchase the products that include it.

AB  - Abstract: The nutritional influence of zinc on markers of bone extracellular matrix resorption and mineralization was investigated in growing rats. Thirty male weanling rats were randomly assigned to consume AIN-93G based diets containing 2.5, 5, 7.5, 15 or 30 μg Zn/g diet for 24 days. Femur zinc increased substantially as zinc increased from 5 to 15 μg/g diet and modestly between 15 and 30 μg/g (P<.05). By morphological assessment, trabecular bone increased steadily as dietary zinc increased to 30 μg/g. Increasing dietary zinc tended to decrease Zip2 expression nonsignificantly and elevated the relative expression of metallothionen-I at 15 but not 30 μg Zn/g diet. Femur osteoclastic resorption potential, indicated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and carbonic anhydrase-2 activities decreased with increasing dietary zinc. In contrast to indicators of extracellular matrix resorption, femur tartrate-resistant acid and alkaline phosphatase activities increased fourfold as dietary zinc increased from 2.5 to 30 μg Zn/g. Likewise, 15 or 30 μg Zn/g diet resulted in maximum relative expression of osteocalcin, without influencing expression of core-binding factor α-1, collagen Type 1 alpha-1, or nuclear factor of activated T cells c1. In conclusion, increased trabecular bone with additional zinc suggests that previous requirement estimates of 15 μg Zn/g diet may not meet nutritional needs for optimal bone development. Overall, the up-regulation of extracellular matrix modeling indexes and concomitant decrease in resorption activities as dietary zinc increased from 2.5 to 30 μg/g provide evidence of one or more physiological roles for zinc in modulating the balance between bone formation and resorption.

AB  - Abstract: On-farm production of arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] fungus inoculum can be employed to make the benefits of the symbiosis more available to vegetable farmers. Experiments were conducted to modify an existing method for the production of inoculum in temperate climates to make it more readily adoptable by farmers. Perlite, vermiculite, and peat based potting media were tested as diluents of yard clippings compost for the media in which the inoculum was produced using bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) as host plant. All produced satisfactory concentrations of AM fungus propagules, though vermiculite proved to be better than potting media (89 vs. 25 propagules cm−3, respectively). Two methods were tested for the growth of AM fungi indigenous to the farm: (1) adding field soil into the vermiculite and compost mixture and (2) pre-colonizing the bahiagrass seedlings in media inoculated with field soil prior to transplant into that mixture. Adding 100cm3 of field soil to the compost and vermiculite produced 465 compared to 137 propagules cm−3 for the pre-colonization method. The greater flexibility these modifications give will make it easier for farmers to produce inoculum of AM fungi on-the-farm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Three new species of Ophrynon Middlekauff, 1983, O. dominiqueae, O. martini and O. patricki, are added to the only species known previously, O. levigatus Middlekauff, 1983. All species are described, illustrated and keyed. Cladistic analyses under different weighting conditions retrieved Ophrynon as monophyletic, but the topologies produced for the higher ophrynopine taxa are quite variable. The possible closest relatives of Ophrynon are Argentophrynopus Vilhelmsen & D.R. Smith, 2002 and Kulcania Benson, 1935. The internal phylogeny of Ophrynon is O. martini + (O. levigatus + (O. dominiqueae + O. patricki)). The distribution of Ophrynon is restricted to central and southern California. Supposedly, the species belong to the californo-eremial distribution type and are the result of a comparatively recent speciation process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter jejuni are considered important pathogens causing the most food-related human illnesses worldwide. Current methods for pathogen detection have limitations in the effectiveness of identifying multiple foodborne pathogens. In this study, a pathogen detection microarray was developed using various 70-mer oligonucleotides specifically targeting the above pathogens. To reduce the cost of detection, each microarray chip was designed and fabricated to accommodate 12 identical arrays which could be used for screening up to 12 different samples. To achieve high detection sensitivity and specificity, target-specific DNA amplification instead of whole genome random amplification was used prior to microarray analysis. Combined with 14-plex PCR amplification of target sequences, the microarray unambiguously distinguished all 4 pathogens with a detection sensitivity of 1 × 10−4 ng (approximately 20 copies) of each genomic DNA. Applied the assay to 39 fresh meat samples, 16 samples were found to be contaminated by either 1 or 2 of these pathogens. The co-occurrences of Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and L. monocytogenes in the same meat samples were also observed. Overall, the microarray combined with multiplex PCR method was able to effectively screen single or multiple pathogens in food samples and to provide important genotypic information related to pathogen virulence.

AB  - The atomic structure of the film–substrate interface of a (001) Sr[sub 2]RuO[sub 4]/(100)[sub c] LaAlO[sub 3] film, determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and simulation, is reported. The structure of superconductivity-quenching Δc≈0.25 nm out-of-phase boundaries (OPBs) in the film is also reported. Growth in one region on the La-terminated surface is observed to nucleate with a SrO layer. Because two structurally equivalent SrO layers exist within the unit cell, two neighboring nuclei with differing growth order (SrO-RuO[sub 2]-SrO or RuO[sub 2]-SrO-SrO) will nucleate an OPB where their misaligned growth fronts meet. Strategies to avoid OPB generation by this mechanism are suggested, which it is hoped may ultimately lead to superconducting Sr[sub 2]RuO[sub 4] films. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

AB  - Summary Inhibins are gonadal glycoproteins belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that act to suppress pituitary follicle stimulating hormone and are composed of a common α -subunit linked by disulphide bonds to either a β A- or β B-subunit. The porcine inhibin-α, -βA (INHBA ) and -βB (INHBB ) subunit genes have previously been mapped to chromosomes 15, 18 and 12, respectively. Over 6.7 kb of the INHBB gene was sequenced from a porcine genomic cosmid clone and found to contain two microsatellites, one in intron 1 and the other in the 3′-untranslated region. Both microsatellites mapped to pig chromosome 15 at relative position 48 cm. This sequence was greater than 99% identical to two previously reported partial non-contiguous cDNAs for porcine INHBB . Non-coding regions also had a high degree (79–88%) of identity with the corresponding regions of the human gene. Based on sequence information and mapping of two novel microsatellite markers, we reassigned porcine INHBB to chromosome 15, which is consistent with comparative physical and linkage maps of this chromosome and human chromosome 2.

AB  - Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin was tested under maximum challenge conditions with an estimated dose of 1.1 × 105 conidia/mm2 for its effects on eggs of four of the major beetle pests of stored grain and grain products. When ambient relative humidity (RH) was 92%, hatch of fungus-treated Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) eggs was 13% versus 58% for control eggs, and hatch of treated Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) was 17% versus 51% for controls. There was no fungus effect at RH of 48 and 73%. Fungus treatment of Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus) eggs had no effect. Sectioned T. castaneum eggs demonstrated that the fungus penetrates and infects them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Two of the five subspecies of the western big-eared bat, Corynorhinus townsendii, are listed as federally endangered with the remaining three being of conservation concern. Knowing the degree of connectivity among populations would aid in the establishment of sound conservation and management plans for this taxon. For this purpose, we have developed and characterized eight polymorphic microsatellite markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has generated tremendous success in revealing detailed subcellular structures in animal cells. However, its application to plant cell biology remains extremely limited due to numerous technical challenges, including the generally high fluorescence background of plant cells and the presence of the cell wall. In the current study, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) imaging of intact Arabidopsis thaliana seedling roots with a spatial resolution of 20-40 nm was demonstrated. Using the super-resolution images, the spatial organization of cortical microtubules in different parts of a whole Arabidopsis root tip was analyzed quantitatively, and the results show the dramatic differences in the density and spatial organization of cortical microtubules in cells of different differentiation stages or types. The method developed can be applied to plant cell biological processes, including imaging of additional elements of the cytoskeleton, organelle substructure, and membrane domains.

AB  - A thorough knowledge of the inheritance of maysin, a flavone glycoside with antibiosis to corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea Boddie, in the silks of maize will assist breeders in choosing the most efficient method of incorporating this trait into elite inbreds. Two breeding populations, one having exotic origin (EPM), the other from southern inbred lines (SIM) were subjected to six cycles of recurrent selection for increased silk maysin. Ten per cent of the individuals evaluated in populations were selected for recombination as S1 progenies in each cycle. Progress was evaluated as C0 to C6 population cycles in a randomized complete-block experiment with five replications in 1997 and 1998. Maysin fresh weights in silks of the C0 populations were 0.54% for EPM and 0.36% for SIM. Responses of 0.19% per cycle in EPM and 0.22% per cycle in SIM resulted in an EPM (C6) population with 1.76% maysin and an SIM (C6) population with 1.69% maysin. Silk maysin concentrations above 0.2% begin to substantially reduce larval growth and prevent completion of the life cycle when husk coverage is sufficient to force the insect to feed on silks while entering the ear. Chlorogenic acid and two analogues of maysin, apimaysin and 3′-methoxymaysin, were found in such minor quantities in silks that they could not be credited with any impact on antibiotic activity against the insect. Selection has effectively increased silk maysin concentration in both EPM and SIM. Trait responses for maysin are highly heritable and will allow the plant breeder to introgress resistance to the corn earworm into elite material easily. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biophysical characteristics of sapwood and outer parenchyma water storage compartments were studied in stems of eight dominant Brazilian Cerrado tree species to assess the impact of differences in tissue capacitance on whole-plant water relations. The rate of decline in tissue water potential with relative water content ( RWC) was greater in the outer parenchyma than in the sapwood for most of the species, resulting in tissue-and species-specific differences in capacitance. Sapwood capacitance on a tissue volume basis ranged from 40 to 160 kg m−3 MPa−1, whereas outer parenchyma capacitance ranged from 25 to only 60 kg m−3 MPa−1. In addition, osmotic potentials at full turgor and at the turgor loss point were more negative for the outer parenchyma compared with the sapwood, and the maximum bulk elastic modulus was higher for the outer parenchyma than for the sapwood. Sapwood capacitance decreased linearly with increasing sapwood density across species, but there was no significant correlation between outer parenchyma capacitance and tissue density. Midday leaf water potential, the total hydraulic conductance of the soil/leaf pathway and stomatal conductance to water vapour ( gs) all increased with stem volumetric capacitance, or with the relative contribution of stored water to total daily transpiration. However, the difference between the pre-dawn water potential of non-transpiring leaves and the weighted average soil water potential, a measure of the water potential disequilibrium between the plant and soil, increased asymptotically with total stem capacitance across species, implying that overnight recharge of water storage compartments was incomplete in species with greater capacitance. Overall, stem capacitance contributes to homeostasis in the diurnal and seasonal water balance of Cerrado trees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aim:  To evaluate urea hydrolysis, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production (odour) and coliforms in cattle waste slurries after a urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and a plant oil component (thymol) were added. Methods and Results:  Faeces from cattle fed a diet of 70% corn silage and 30% alfalfa haylage, urine and distilled water in the ratio 50 : 35 : 15 were blended at high speed for 1 min. Triplicate aliquots of 750 ml were amended with NBPT plus or minus thymol and reblended for 1 min, and were poured into 1·6 l wide-mouth jars covered 90% with a lid. After 56 days, thymol (2000 mg kg−1 waste) in combination with NBPT (80 mg kg−1 waste) retained 5·2 g of an initial 9·2 g of urea in cattle waste slurries, compared with less than 1 g of urea retained when NBPT was the only additive ( P < 0·05). Another experiment using excreta from cattle fed 76·25% high moisture corn, 19·25% corn silage and a 4·5% supplement, blended at a low speed, gave a similar response with urea hydrolysis; and the two treatments, thymol alone and thymol in combination with NBPT, reduced VFA production ( P < 0·01) and eliminated all coliform bacteria by day 1. A third experiment indicated coliforms disappeared in the no addition treatment after 8 days; however, they were viable at 6·6 × 104 CFU g−1 waste beyond 35 days in the NBPT treatment. Conclusions:  Thymol supplements the effect of NBPT by increasing the inhibitory period for hydrolysis of urea in cattle waste slurries and nitrogen retention in the waste. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Thymol and NBPT offer the potential to reduce odour and pathogens in cattle manure, and increase the fertilizer value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  To determine the effect of antimicrobial selective pressure on the transmission of antimicrobial resistant and sensitive strains of Salmonella in poultry. Methods and Results:  Eight pens housed 12 broiler chicks each. Two chicks in four of the pens were inoculated with a Salm. Typhimurium strain resistant to 12 antimicrobials (including tetracycline), and two chicks in each of the four other pens were inoculated with a strain sensitive to all antimicrobials tested. Two pens inoculated with each strain were treated with chlortetracycline and two were not. Chicks were killed on day 7 and caeca were cultured for Salmonella. Experiments were performed independently twice. Chicks exposed to pen mates inoculated with the resistant strain and treated with tetracycline were 90% positive for Salmonella; whereas 60% of chicks given no antimicrobials were positive. Chicks exposed to the sensitive strain were 95% positive with tetracycline treatment and 90% positive without treatment. Conclusions:  A multidrug-resistant Salm. Typhimurium strain had significantly increased transmission when chicks were treated with tetracycline. Transmission of a sensitive strain was not inhibited by antimicrobial selective pressure at recommended therapeutic dose. Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study demonstrates that antimicrobial usage may influence the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in poultry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the present paper the authors describe a computational fluid dynamics model of a two-stage, oxygen blown, entrained flow, coal slurry gasifier for use in advanced power plant simulations. The discrete phase method is used to simulate the coal slurry flow. The physical and chemical processing of coal slurry gasification is implemented by calculating the discrete phase trajectory using a Lagrangian formulation. The particle tracking is coupled with specific physical processes, in which the coal particles sequentially undergo moisture release, vaporisation, devolatilisation, char oxidation and char gasification. Using specified plant boundary conditions, the gasification model predicts a synthesis gas composition that is very close to the values calculated by a restricted equilibrium reactor model tuned to represent typical experimental data. The char conversions are 100 and 86% for the first stage and second stage respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The velvet gene, veA, co-ordinates asexual and sexual development in the homothallic fungal species Aspergillus nidulans. Studies in Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus fumigatus demonstrated that veA also regulates morphological differentiation in these species. Whether veA has the same role in morphogenesis in other fungal genera has not been investigated. In this work, we studied the role of the veA homologue, FvVE1, in the heterothallic fungus Fusarium verticillioides. Deletion of FvVE1 suppressed aerial hyphal growth and reduced colony surface hydrophobicity on solid media. In submerged cultures, FvVE1 deletion caused alterations in hyphal polarity, marked activation of conidiation and yeast-like growth. The latter was promoted by shaking to increase aeration of cultures. In addition, FvVE1 deletion markedly increased the ratio of macroconidia to microconidia. Supplementation of osmotic stabilizers restored the wild-type phenotype to deletion mutants, suggesting phenotypic alterations caused by FvVE1 deletion are related to cell wall defects. This is consistent with the hypersensitivity of FvVE1 deletion mutants to SDS and with the significant reduction in the mannoprotein content of mutants compared with the wild-type strain. However, no dramatic cell wall alterations were observed when mutants were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Our data strongly suggest that FvVE1 is important for cell wall integrity, cell surface hydrophobicity, hyphal polarity and conidiation pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article argues that rangeland researches are strategies for providing sustainability and stewardship to the rangelands of the world. Rangeland experts once exerted efforts to maintain plant communities at some level near one perceived endpoint of a perceived succession. These beliefs developed the expectation that plant communities should be stable or moving toward later stages of succession.

AB  - US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) data on Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis in broiler chicken carcass rinses collected from 2000 through 2005 showed the annual number of isolates increased >4-fold and the proportion of establishments with Salmonella Enteritidis-positive rinses increased nearly 3-fold (test for trend, p<0.0001). The number of states with Salmonella Enteritidis in broiler rinses increased from 14 to 24. The predominant phage types (PT) were PT 13 and PT 8, 2 strains that a recent Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) case-control study associated with eating chicken. FSIS is directing more sampling resources toward plants with marginal Salmonella control to reduce prevalence in products including broilers. The policy targets establishments with common Salmonella serotypes of human illness, including Salmonella Enteritidis. Voluntary interventions should be implemented by industry.

AB  - The Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) alliance is the most extensive of the big sagebrush complex in the Intermountain West. This alliance provides critical habitat for many sagebrush obligate and facultative wildlife species and serves as a forage base for livestock production. There is a lack of information that describes vegetation cover values, characteristics, diversity, and heterogeneity of the Wyoming big sagebrush alliance. This study describes vegetation cover values and defines distinct associations for intact, late-seral Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities across part of its northwestern range. We sampled 107 Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities. Total herbaceous cover values were variable among sites with differences between sites exceeding 700%. Mean sagebrush cover was 12.3% with 90% of the sites producing 6% to 20% cover. Tall forb (> 18 cm) cover averaged 1.9% and 90% of the sites varied between 0.2% and 5.6% cover. Five associations delineated by dominant perennial bunchgrass species were identified: ARTRW8 (Wyoming big sagebrush)/PSSP6 (Pseudoroegneria spicata [Pursh] A. Löve, bluebunch wheatgrass), ARTRW8/ACTH7 (Achnatherum thurberianum [Piper] Barkworth, Thurber's needlegrass), ARTRW8/FEID (Festuca idahoensis Elmer, Idaho fescue), ARTRW8/HECO26 (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth, needle-and-thread), and ARTRW8/PSSP6-ACTH7 (a codominance of bluebunch wheatgrass and Thurber's needlegrass). Our results suggest when the vegetation cover values proposed for sage-grouse are applied as requirements at or above the stand level, they exceed the ecological potential of many of the sites sampled.

Existe muy poca información que describe el valor de la cobertura vegetal, características, diversidad, y heterogeneidad de la alianza de la artemisa grande. El presente estudio describe valores de cobertura vegetal y define las diferentes asociaciones en comunidades intactas de plantas serales de artemisa grande en el rango noroeste. Muestreamos 107 comunidades de plantas de artemisa grande de Wyoming. El total de los valores de cobertura herbácea fueron variables entre sitios con diferencias que excedían el 700%. La cobertura promedio de artemisa fue de 12.3% con un 90% de los sitios con un rango de cobertura entre 6% y 20%. La cobertura de hierbas altas (>18 cm) promedió 1.9% y el 90% de los sitios variaron en cobertura entre 0.2% y 5.6%. Se identificaron cinco asociaciones delineadas por especies perennes dominantes de pastos: ARTRW8 (Artemisa grande de Wyoming)/AGSP (Agropyron spicatum [Pursh] Schibn. & Smith, bluebunch wheatgrass), ARTRW8/STTH (Stipa thurberiana ajenjo, Thurber's needlegrass), ARTRW8/FEID (Festuca idahoensis Elmer, Idaho fescue), ARTRW8/STCO2 (Stipa comata Trin. & Rupr., needle-and-thread), and ARTRW8/AGSP-STTH (una co-dominancia de bluebunch wheatgrass and Thurber's needlegrass). Nuestros resultados sugieren que cuando los valores propuestos para sabio urogallo se aplican como requisitos promedio o por encima del mismo, estos exceden el potencial ecológico de muchos de los sitios muestreados.

AB  - One major barrier to the economic conversion of biomass to ethanol is inhibitory compounds generated during biomass pretreatment using dilute acid hydrolysis. Major inhibitors such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) inhibit yeast growth and subsequent fermentation. The ethanologenic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrated a dose-dependant inhibition by the inhibitors and has the potential to transform furfural and HMF into less toxic compounds of furfuryl alcohol and 2,5-bis-hydroxymethylfuran (also termed as furan-2,5-dimethanol (FDM)), respectively. For a sustainable and cost-competitive biomass-to-ethanol industry, it is important to develop more tolerant yeast strains that can, in situ, detoxify the inhibitors and produce ethanol. This study summarizes current knowledge and our understanding of the inhibitors furfural and HMF and discusses metabolic conversion pathways of the inhibitors and the yeast genomic expression response to inhibitor stress. Unlike laboratory strains, gene expression response of the ethanologenic yeast to furfural and HMF was not transient, but a continued dynamic process involving multiple genes at the genome level. This suggests that during the lag phase, ethanologenic yeasts undergo a genomic adaptation process in response to the inhibitors. The findings to date provide a strong foundation for future studies on genomic adaptation and manipulation of yeast to aid more robust strain design and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A mutant of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis EB037 with limited ability to produce tagetitoxin was isolated after transposon mutagenesis and the mutation was characterized. The mutation occurred in a gene with a high degree of sequence identity to exbD. exbD is contiguous with tonB and exbB upstream and with a gene for a TonB-dependent receptor downstream. Using reverse transcription – polymerase chain reaction with RNA from the wild-type and exbD mutant strains, we demonstrated that the mutation in exbD did not have a polar affect on the expression of downstream genes. The exbD mutant was able to grow well in conditions where iron is not freely available. Siderophore production by the exbD mutant was similar to that of the wild-type strain. We conclude that the mutation in exbD disrupts tagetitoxin production without compromising iron metabolism. The results indicate that tagetitoxin export by P. syringae pv. tagetis involves an efflux pump that requires a functional TonB system that is not essential for normal iron metabolism.

AB  - Un mutant de Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis EB037 ayant une capacité limitée à produire de la tagetitoxine fut isolé suite à une mutagénèse par transposon et la mutation fut caractérisée. La mutation était présente dans un gène ayant un haut degré d'identité de séquence à exbD. exbD est contigu avec tonB et exbB en amont et avec un gène codant un récepteur dépendant de TonB en aval. Nous avons démontré par réaction en chaîne de la polymérase à transcription inverse avec de l'ARN des souches sauvages et mutantes pour exbD que la mutation dans exbD n'avait pas d'effet polaire sur l'expression de gènes en aval. Le mutant exbD fut capable de bien croître dans des conditions où le fer n'était pas librement disponible. La production de sidérophores par le mutant exbD était semblable à celle de la souche sauvage. Nous concluons que la mutation dans exbD empêche la production de tagetitoxine sans compromettre le métabolisme du fer. Ces résultats indiquent que l'exportation de la tagetitoxine par P. syringae pv. tagetis met en jeu une pompe d'écoulement qui nécessite un système fonctionnel TonB qui n'est pas essentiel au métabolisme normal du fer.

AB  - The article focuses on Nevada rangelands. Nevada contains about 110,000 square miles of various rangelands environment. The state's rangelands are mainly deserts. A tiny amount of tall timber forest are found along the west central border where Nevada touches the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. In the east portion of the state, are 5-needle pine woodlands of bristle cone and limber pine. The Nevada pinyon-juniper woodlands are most abundant in the south of Interstate 80.

AB  - Accurately predicting plant function and global biogeochemical cycles later in this century will be complicated if stomatal conductance ( gs) acclimates to growth at elevated [CO2], in the sense of a long-term alteration of the response of gs to [CO2], humidity ( h) and/or photosynthetic rate ( A). If so, photosynthetic and stomatal models will require parameterization at each growth [CO2] of interest. Photosynthetic acclimation to long-term growth at elevated [CO2] occurs frequently. Acclimation of gs has rarely been examined, even though stomatal density commonly changes with growth [CO2]. Soybean was grown under field conditions at ambient [CO2] (378  µmol mol−1) and elevated [CO2] (552  µmol mol−1) using free-air [CO2] enrichment (FACE). This study tested for stomatal acclimation by parameterizing and validating the widely used Ball et al. model (1987 , Progress in Photosynthesis Research, vol IV, 221–224) with measurements of leaf gas exchange. The dependence of gs on A, h and [CO2] at the leaf surface was unaltered by long-term growth at elevated [CO2]. This suggests that the commonly observed decrease in gs under elevated [CO2] is due entirely to the direct instantaneous effect of [CO2] on gs and that there is no longer-term acclimation of gs independent of photosynthetic acclimation. The model accurately predicted gs for soybean growing under ambient and elevated [CO2] in the field. Model parameters under ambient and elevated [CO2] were indistinguishable, demonstrating that stomatal function under ambient and elevated [CO2] could be modelled without the need for parameterization at each growth [CO2].

AB  - Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is an invasive exotic plant that can completely displace native plant communities. Automated techniques for monitoring the location and extent of leafy spurge, especially if available on a seasonal basis, could add greatly to the effectiveness of control measures. As part of a larger study including multiple sensors, this study examines the utility of mapping the location and extent of leafy spurge in Theodore Roosevelt National Park using Earth Observing-1 satellite Advanced Land Imager (ALI) scanner data. An unsupervised classification methodology was used producing accuracies in the range of 59% to 66%. Existing field studies, with their associated limitations, were used for identifying class membership and accuracy assessment. This sensor could be useful for broad landscape scale mapping of leafy spurge, from which control measures could be based. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides that contaminates maize. FB1 has been linked to a number of human and animal mycotoxicoses worldwide. Despite its significance, our understanding of the FB1 biosynthesis regulatory mechanisms is limited. Here, we describe F. verticillioides GBP1, encoding a monomeric G-protein, and its role in FB1 biosynthesis. GBP1 was discovered as an expressed sequence tag (EST) up-regulated in the F. verticillioides fcc1 mutant that showed reduced conidiation and no FB1 biosynthesis when grown on maize kernels. Sequence analysis showed that GBP1 encodes a putative 368-amino-acid protein with similarity to DRG and Obg subclasses of G-proteins that are involved in development and stress responses. A GBP1 knockout mutant ( Δgbp1) exhibited normal growth, but increased FB1 production (> 58%) compared with the wild-type when grown on corn kernels. Complementation of Δgbp1 with the wild-type GBP1 gene restored FB1 production levels to that of the wild-type. Our data indicate that GBP1 is negatively associated with FB1 biosynthesis but not with conidiation in F. verticillioides. The deletion of GBP1 led to up-regulation of key FB1 biosynthetic genes, FUM1 and FUM8, suggesting that the increased FB1 production in Δgbp1 is due to over-expression of FUM genes.

AB  - Grasshoppers are insect herbivores common to grassland ecosystems worldwide. They comprise important components of biodiversity, contribute significantly to grassland function, and periodically exhibit both local and large-scale outbreaks. Because of grasshoppers' potential economic importance as competitors with ungulate grazers for rangeland forage, periodic grasshopper outbreaks in western US rangeland often elicit intervention over large areas in the form of chemical control. Available information combined with alternative underlying conceptual frameworks suggests that new approaches for sustainable management of grasshopper outbreaks in US rangeland should be pursued. There are many reasons to believe that approaches to grasshopper management that aim to reduce or prevent outbreaks are possible. These habitat manipulation tactics maintain existing ecological feedbacks responsible for sustaining populations at economically nonthreatening levels. Sustainable strategies to minimize the likelihood and extent of grasshopper outbreaks while limiting the need for chemical intervention are a rational and attainable goal for managing grasslands as renewable resources.

AB  - Xylan is the major hemicellulose in dicot wood. Unraveling genes involved in the biosynthesis of xylan will be of importance in understanding the process of wood formation. In this report, we investigated the possible role of poplar GT47C, a glycosyltransferase belonging to family GT47, in the biosynthesis of xylan. PoGT47C from the hybrid poplar Populus alba × tremula exhibits 84% sequence similarity to Fragile fiber8 (FRA8), which is involved in the biosynthesis of glucuronoxylan in Arabidopsis. Phylogenetic analysis of glycosyltransferase family GT47 in the Populus trichocarpa genome revealed that GT47C is the only close homolog of FRA8. In situ hybridization showed that the PoGT47C gene was expressed in developing primary xylem, secondary xylem and phloem fibers of stems, and in developing secondary xylem of roots. Sequence analysis suggests that PoGT47C is a type II membrane protein, and study of the subcellular localization demonstrated that fluorescent protein-tagged PoGT47C was located in the Golgi. Immunolocalization with a xylan monoclonal antibody LM10 revealed a nearly complete loss of xylan signals in the secondary walls of fibers and vessels in the Arabidopsis fra8 mutant. Expression of PoGT47C in the fra8 mutant restored the secondary wall thickness and xylan content to the wild-type level. Together, these results suggest that PoGT47C is functionally conserved with FRA8 and it is probably involved in xylan synthesis during wood formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a glycoprotein with important clinical applications for the treatment of neutropenia and aplastic anemia and reducing infections associated with bone marrow transplants. We evaluated the potential for using a potato virus X (PVX) viral vector system for efficient expression of the biologically functional GM-CSF protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The GM-CSF gene was cloned into PVX viral expression vector, driven with the CaMV 35S promoter. Gene transfer was accomplished by inoculating N. benthamiana leaves with the plasmid DNA of PVX vector containing the GM-CSF gene. The expression level of the recombinant GM-CSF protein was determined with ELISA and its size was confirmed by Western blot analysis. The results showed that: (1) leaf age significantly affects GM-CSF protein concentration with younger leaves accumulating 19.8 mg g−1 soluble protein which is 2.6 times the concentration in older leaves, (2) recombinant protein accumulation within a given leaf declined slightly over time but was not significantly different between 7 and 11 days post-inoculation (dpi), and (3) the two leaves immediately above the inoculated leaves play an important role for GM-CSF accumulation in the younger leaves. Protein extracts of infected N. benthamiana leaves contained recombinant human GM-CSF protein in concentrations of up to 2% of total soluble protein, but only when the pair of leaves immediately above the inoculated leaves remained intact. The recombinant protein actively stimulated the growth of human TF-1 cells suggesting that the recombinant human GM-CSF expressed via PVX viral vector was biologically active. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plant growth is typically stimulated at elevated carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), but a sustained and maximal stimulation of growth requires acquisition of additional N in proportion to the additional C fixed at elevated [CO2]. We hypothesized that legumes would be able to avoid N limitation at elevated [CO2]. Soybean was grown without N fertilizer from germination to final senescence at elevated [CO2] over two growing seasons under fully open-air conditions, providing a model legume system. Measurements of photosynthesis and foliar carbohydrate content showed that plants growing at elevated [CO2] had a c. 25% increase in the daily integral of photosynthesis and c. 58% increase in foliar carbohydrate content, suggesting that plants at elevated [CO2] had a surplus of photosynthate. Soybeans had a low leaf N content at the beginning of the season, which was a further c. 17% lower at elevated [CO2]. In the middle of the season, ureide, total amino acid and N content increased markedly, and the effect of elevated [CO2] on leaf N content disappeared. Analysis of individual amino acid levels supported the conclusion that plants at elevated [CO2] overcame an early-season N limitation. These soybean plants showed a c. 16% increase in dry mass at final harvest and showed no significant effect of elevated [CO2] on leaf N, protein or total amino acid content in the latter part of the season. One possible explanation for these findings is that N fixation had increased, and that these plants had acclimated to the increased N demand at elevated [CO2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context. Studies examining the association between food insecurity and obesity in adults have produced conflicting results, and information is limited on the relationship between food insecurity and adult chronic health conditions, particularly in a high-risk population. Objective. To examine the association between household food insecurity and self-reported weight status and chronic disease in the Lower Mississippi Delta. Design. A two-stage stratified cluster sample representative of the population in 36 counties in the Lower Delta. Data were collected in a cross-sectional telephone survey using list assisted random digit dialing telephone methodology. Setting and Participants. A randomly selected sample of 1,457 adults from a free-living population. Main Outcome Measures. US Food Security Survey Module, self-reported height and weight status (obesity = body mass index > 30 kg/m²), and self-reported hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and a marker for metabolic syndrome. Results. In food-insecure adults, 42.3% were obese, a significantly higher rate than food secure adults (33.2%). After controlling for demographic variables, food insecurity was not independently associated with obesity. Income and the interaction between race and gender were significant predictors of obesity. Food insecure adults were significantly more likely to report hypertension (45.1% vs. 29.5%) diabetes (15.0% vs. 9.3%), heart disease (13.5% vs. 6.8%) and metabolic syndrome (10.1% vs. 4.4%). After controlling for demographic variables, food insecurity was associated with high cholesterol (Odds Ratio [OR] 1.65; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.0 to 2.7), heart disease (OR 2.7: 95% CI, 1.5 to 4.8), and metabolic syndrome (OR 2.8; 95% CI, 1.4 to 5.5). Conclusions. The relationship between food insecurity and obesity in a high-risk population, may be due to income and demographic variables. Individuals in a rural high-risk population with high cholesterol, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome have a high likelihood of being food-insecure. Nutritional interventions targeting high-risk populations should address food insecurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Respiration (carbon efflux) by terrestrial ecosystems is a major component of the global carbon (C) cycle, but the response of C efflux to atmospheric CO2 enrichment remains uncertain. Respiration may respond directly to an increase in the availability of C substrates at high CO2, but also may be affected indirectly by a CO2-mediated alteration in the amount by which respiration changes per unit of change in temperature or C uptake (sensitivity of respiration to temperature or C uptake). We measured CO2 fluxes continuously during the final 2 years of a 4-year experiment on C3/C4 grassland that was exposed to a 200–560 μmol mol−1 CO2 gradient. Flux measurements were used to determine whether CO2 treatment affected nighttime respiration rates and the response of ecosystem respiration to seasonal changes in net C uptake and air temperature. Increasing CO2 from subambient to elevated concentrations stimulated grassland respiration at night by increasing the net amount of C fixed during daylight and by increasing either the sensitivity of C efflux to daily changes in C fixation or the respiration rate in the absence of C uptake (basal ecosystem respiration rate). These latter two changes contributed to a 30–47% increase in the ratio of nighttime respiration to daytime net C influx as CO2 increased from subamient to elevated concentrations. Daily changes in net C uptake were highly correlated with variation in temperature, meaning that the shared contribution of C uptake and temperature in explaining variance in respiration rates was large. Statistically controlling for collinearity between temperature and C uptake reduced the effect of a given change in C influx on respiration. Conversely, CO2 treatment did not affect the response of grassland respiration to seasonal variation in temperature. Elevating CO2 concentration increased grassland respiration rates by increasing both net C input and respiration per unit of C input. A better understanding of how C efflux varies with substrate supply thus may be required to accurately assess the C balance of terrestrial ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1. This study first measured the effect of plant (radish, pepper, and wheat), aphid–plant combination (the green peach aphid Myzus persicae on pepper and radish, and the bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on wheat) and the host on which Aphidius colemani was reared (the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii on cucumber, M. persicae on radish and pepper, and R. padi on wheat) on host choice behaviour of the parasitoid and the performance of its offspring. Then, the effect of predator presence ( Coccinella undecimpunctata larvae) on host preference of the wasps was tested. 2. When reared on M. persicae on either radish or pepper , wasps preferred the aphid–plant combination from which they had emerged. Wasps reared on A. gossypii (naïve to all hosts offered) and R. padi preferred to parasitise M. persicae on radish and M. persicae on either radish or pepper, respectively. Rhopalosiphum padi on wheat was the least preferred and also the least suitable host, as determined by offspring body size. 3. Contrary to expectations, the presence of predators did not influence the host choice of A. colemani, even when predator-free plants were offered nearby. Results indicate that wasps are more likely to remain in some host systems but not in others, even when facing risk of predation. 4. Results are discussed in respect to field data and the relative importance of risk of predation and host preference to wasp fitness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We compared calibration equations for estimating herbage standing crop (HSC) from comparative yield (CY) rank or stubble height (SH) to determine 1) if CY rank is a better estimator than SH of standing crop, 2) if addition of SH to CY rank will improve the estimation of standing crop, 3) if there is a seasonal effect on CY rank or SH, and 4) if botanical composition influences the prediction of HSC from CY. The results of this study indicate that CY is a slightly better predictor of HSC than is SH. Addition of SH to CY did not improve the prediction of HSC. Models that predict HSC from CY in summer were weaker than models for winter, early spring, and late spring. Thus the CY method can be used with confidence throughout the year. The presence of filaree (Erodium cicutarium L.) in winter and early spring resulted in steeper calibration equations than were present in nonfilaree quadrats. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Comparamos ecuaciones de calibración para estimar la biomasa en pie (HSC) a partir de los método de rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY) o la altura del rastrojo (SH) para determinar: (1) si el rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY) es un mejor estimador de la biomasa que la altura del rastrojo (SH); (2) si la adición de la altura del rastrojo SH a el rendimiento comparativo por clases mejoraría la estimación de la biomasa y (3) si hay un efecto estacional sobre el rendimiento comparativo por clase (CY) o la altura del rastrojo (SH) y (4) si la composición botánica influye la predicción de la biomasa (HSC) a partir del rendimiento comparativo por clases (CY). Los resultados de este estudio indican que CY es un estimador de la biomasa ligeramente mejor que la SH. La adición de la SH a CY no mejoró la predicción de HSC. Los modelos que predicen la HSC a partir de CY en verano fueron mas débiles que los modelos para invierno, inicios de primavera y finales de primavera, por lo tanto, el método de CY puede ser usado con confianza a lo largo del año. La presencia de "Filaree" (Erodium cicutarium L.) en invierno e inicio de primavera resultó en ecuaciones de calibración mas precisas que las obtenidas de los cuadrantes sin "Filaree."

AB  - Accurate and efficient leaf area measurements of shortgrass prairie vegetation are difficult to obtain. Few studies have considered the green area index (GAI) as an approximation of the total area of photosynthetically active tissue per unit of ground area. The main objective of this study was to evaluate several near-ground remote sensing methods as reliable and cost efficient measures of GAI on the shortgrass prairie. GAI measured with a standard leaf area meter was compared to 1) spectral vegetation indices calculated from multispectral radiometer data, 2) GAI obtained from laser point-frame measurements, and 3) green cover estimates derived from digital camera images. All methods were assessed for accuracy, time, and cost efficiency. Data were collected in 2001 at the Central Plains Experimental Range in northern Colorado. The standard leaf area meter method was neither time nor cost efficient in comparison with the other methods evaluated in this study. The cost of GAI measurement with the traditional leaf area meter method ($225 per plot) was 20 times greater than GAI estimation with the multispectral radiometer ($11 per plot). Comparison of GAI obtained with the standard leaf area meter method with red-band reflectance index values (0.63-0.69 µm) obtained with a portable multispectral radiometer resulted in the best model predictions (R² = 0.76, Akaike's information corrected criterion [AICC] = 182.9) and the most cost efficient method for GAI estimation. Green cover estimates from digital image analysis resulted in a good correlation with the leaf area meter GAI (R² = 0.72, AICC = 178.1). However, classification accuracies of digital images were decreased by limited spectral separability between green vegetation, brown vegetation, and soil background. Further calibration and refinement of near-ground remote sensing techniques for vegetation might establish these methods as efficient ground-truth alternatives to satellite-based remote-sensing applications of rangelands such as the shortgrass prairie.

AB  - En los pastizales de zacates cortos es difícil obtener mediciones certeras y eficientes del área foliar de la vegetación. Pocos estudios han considerado el índice de área verde (GAI) como una aproximación del área total de tejido fotosintéticamente activo por unidad de área de suelo. El principal objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar varios métodos de sensores remotos cercanos al suelo para obtener mediciones, confiables y eficientes en costo, del GAI en pastizales zacates cortos. El GAI obtenido con un medidor estándar de área foliar fue comparado con: índices espectrales de vegetación calculados a partir de datos de un radió metro multiespectral, 2) GAI obtenido a partir de mediciones del marco de puntos láser y 3) estimaciones de la cobertura de tejido verde derivadas de imágenes de cámara digital. Todos los métodos fueron evaluados para determinar su certeza y eficiencia en tiempo y costo. Los datos fueron colectados en el 2001 en la Estación Experimental de Pastizales Central Plains en el norte de Colorado. El método estándar de medición de área foliar no fue efectivo ni en costo ni en tiempo en comparación con los otros métodos evaluados en este estudio. El costo de las mediciones de GAI con el método tradicional de medición de área foliar ($225/parcela) fue 20 veces mayor que la estimación de GAI con el radió metro multiespectral ($11/parcela). La comparación del GAI obtenido con el medidor estándar de área foliar con los valores del índice RED (Reflejo de la banda roja, 0.63-0.69 µm) obtenidos con un radió metro multiespectral portá til produjeron el mejor modelo de predicción (R² = 0.76, AICC = 182.9) y fue el método más efectivo en costo de la estimación de GAI. Las estimaciones de cobertura verde a partir del análisis de las imágenes de la cámara digital produjeron una buena correlación con el GAI del medidor de área foliar (R² = 0.72, AICC = 178.1). Sin embargo, la clasificación de las certezas de las imágenes de la cámara digital fueron reducidas por la limitada separación espectral entre la vegetación verde, la café y el fondo del suelo. Una mayor calibración y refinamiento de las técnicas de sensores remotos cercanos al suelo pudiera situar a estos métodos como alternativas terrestres verdaderas eficientes para la aplicación de los sensores remotos satelitales en pastizales tal como los de zacates cortos.

AB  - Around the world rangelands that have been degraded, such as historical desert grasslands now dominated by woody shrubs, are resistant to restoration efforts. The goal of this descriptive research was to examine the potential for black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda [Torr.] Torr.) recovery by remnant plants in a degraded area as a function of plant location across a landscape. Our objectives were 1) to document the historical dominant vegetation as a perennial grassland and determine broad-scale changes in dominance through time and 2) to examine fine-scale patterns of black grama presence and basal area with respect to microenvironmental conditions that indicate the landscape positions favorable for restoration. Historical vegetation maps starting in 1858, a field survey in 2002-2003 of the location of all individual black grama plants in a 29-ha area, and spatial data layers in a geographic information system were used to address these objectives. Upland grasses, including black grama, dominated the study site in 1858, although tarbush (Flourensia cernua DC.) was the dominant species by 1915, and creosotebush (Larrea tridentata [DC.] Cov.) is the current dominant. A total of 3 334 black grama plants were found for an average density of 0.01 plants·-2. High spatial variation was found in the occurrence and basal area of black grama plants that was related to water availability rather than livestock grazing: most plants were found in or adjacent to an arroyo (67%), at a northern aspect (47%), and outside experimental exclosures established in 1930 (43%). Largest average basal areas were found in the livestock exclosure, and in general, average basal area was not related with aspect or canopy microsite. These remnant plants can be used as propagule sources in restoration efforts, and information on microsite conditions for black grama survival can be used to improve restoration potential for similar sites.

AB  - Al rededor del mundo los pastizales que han sido degradados, tal como los históricos pastizales desérticos actualmente dominados por arbustos leñosos, son resistentes a las acciones de restauración. La meta de esta investigación descriptiva fue examinar el potencial del "Black grama" (Bouteloua eriopoda [Torr.] Torr.) para recuperarse a partir de plantas remanentes en áreas degradadas en función de la localización de la plantas a través del paisaje. Nuestros objetivos fueron: 1) Documentar la vegetacién dominante histórica como pastizal perenne y determinar los cambios a gran escala en la dominancia a travós del tiempo; 2) Examinar los patrones, a escala fina, de la presencia del  "Black grama" y el área basal con respecto a las condiciones microambientales que indiquen posiciones favorables del paisaje para la restauración. Para lograr los objetivos se usaron mapas históricos de vegetación desde 1858, un muestro de campo de 2002-2003 de la localización de todas las plantas individuales de "Black grama" en un área de 29 ha y capas de datos espaciales de sistemas de información geográfica. Los zacates de terrenos altos, incluyendo "Black grama", dominaron el área de estudio en 1858, aunque para 1915 el "Tarbush" (Flourensia cernua DC.) fue la especie dominante y el "Creosotebush" (Larrea tridentata [DC.] Cov.) es la especie actualmente dominante. Un total de 3334 plantas de "Black grama" fueron encontradas equivalente a una densidad promedio de 0.01 plantas/m². Se encontró una alta variación espacial en la ocurrencia y área basal de las plantas de "Black grama", que estuvo correlacionada con la disponibilidad de agua mas que con el apacentamiento del ganado: la mayoría de las plantas fueron encontradas dentro o adyacentes a un arroyo (67%), en la exposición norte (47%) y fuera de las exclusiones experimentales establecidas en 1930 (43%). El mayor promedio de áreas basales fueron encontradas en la exclusión al ganado, y en general, el área basal promedio no estuvo correlacionada con la exposición o la cobertura del micrositio. Estas plantas remanentes pueden ser usadas como fuentes de propágulos en los acciones de restauración y la información de las condiciones del micrositio puede ser usadas para mejorar el potencial de restauración del "Black grama" en sitios similares.

AB  - Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantify seven species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in alfalfa silage prepared in the presence or absence of four commercial inoculants and in uninoculated corn stover harvested and stored under a variety of field conditions. Species-specific PCR primers were designed based on recA gene sequences. Commercial inoculants improved the quality of alfalfa silage, but species corresponding to those in the inoculants displayed variations in persistence over the next 96 h. Lactobacillus brevis was the most abundant LAB (12 to 32% of total sample DNA) in all of the alfalfa silages by 96 h. Modest populations (up to 10%) of Lactobacillus plantarum were also observed in inoculated silages. Pediococcus pentosaceus populations increased over time but did not exceed 2% of the total. Small populations (0.1 to 1%) of Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactococcus lactis were observed in all silages, while Lactobacillus pentosus and Enterococcus faecium were near or below detection limits. Corn stover generally displayed higher populations of L. plantarum and L. brevis and lower populations of other LAB species. The data illustrate the utility of RT-PCR for quantifying individual species of LAB in conserved forages prepared under a wide variety of conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Salmon carcass addition to streams is expected to increase stream productivity at multiple trophic levels. This study examined stream nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon), epilithic biofilm (ash-free dry mass and chlorophyll a), leaf-litter decomposition, and macroinvertebrate (density and biomass) responses to carcass addition in three headwater streams of southwestern Washington State, USA. We used stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) to trace incorporation of salmon-derived (SD) nutrients into stream food webs. SD nutrients were assimilated by biofilm, benthic insects (Perlidae and Limnephilidae spp.), and age-1 steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri). SD nutrients peaked ~2 weeks after carcass addition for insects and fish feeding on carcasses, but indirect uptake of SD nutrients by biofilm and insects was delayed by ~2 months. A strong stable isotope signal did not always correspond with measurable biological change. At reaches 1050 m downstream from carcasses, ammonium concentration, leaf-litter decomposition, and benthic insect density all increased relative to upstream control sites. The strongest responses and greatest SD-nutrient uptake were observed 10 m from decomposing carcasses, with effects generally decreasing to undetectable levels 250 m downstream. Carcass addition to headwater streams can have a transient effect on primary and secondary trophic levels, but responses may be limited to specific taxa near carcass locations.

AB  - L'addition de carcasses de saumons dans les cours d'eau doit augmenter, croit-on, la productivité du milieu à plusieurs niveaux trophiques. Notre étude examine les réactions des nutriments du cours d'eau (azote, phosphore et carbone), du biofilm épilithique (masse sèche sans les cendres et chlorophylle a), de la décomposition de la litière de feuilles et des macroinvertébrés (densité et biomasse) à l'addition de carcasses dans trois cours d'eau d'amont du sud-ouest de l'état de Washington, .-U. Nous utilisons les isotopes stables (δ13C et δ15N) pour suivre l'incorporation des nutriments dérivés des saumons (nutriments SD) dans les réseaux alimentaires des cours d'eau. Les nutriments SD sont assimilés par le biofilm, les insectes benthiques (des espèces de Perlidae et de Limnephilidae) et les truites arc-en-ciel anadromes (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) d'âge 1. Les nutriments SD atteignent un sommet ~2 semaines après l'addition des carcasses chez les insectes et les poissons qui se nourrissent de carcasses, mais l'incorporation indirecte des nutriments SD par le biofilm et les insectes est retardée de ~2 mois. Un fort signal d'isotopes stables ne correspond pas toujours à un changement biologique mesurable. Dans des secteurs 1050 m en aval des carcasses, les concentrations d'ammonium, la décomposition de la litière de feuilles et la densité des insectes benthiques augmentent toutes par rapport aux sites témoins d'amont. Les réactions les plus fortes et l'incorporation la plus importante de nutriments SD s'observent à 10 m des carcasses en décomposition et les effets décroissent généralement à des niveaux non décelables 250 m en aval. L'addition de carcasses dans les cours d'eau d'amont peut avoir un effet transitoire sur les niveaux trophiques primaire et secondaire, mais les effets peuvent se limiter à des taxons particuliers près de l'emplacement des carcasses.

AB  - Past research has shown that the most important areas for active sand movement in the northern part of the Chihuahuan Desert are mesquite-dominated desert ecosystems possessing sandy soil texture. The most active sand movement in the mesquite-dominated ecosystems has been shown to take place on elongated bare soil patches referred to as “streets”. Aerodynamic properties of mesquite streets eroded by wind should be included in explaining how mesquite streets are more emissive sand sources than surrounding desert land. To understand the effects of wind properties, we measured them at two flat mesquite sites having highly similar soil textures but very different configurations of mesquite. The differences in wind properties at the two sites were caused by differences of size, orientation, and porosity of the mesquite, along with the presence of mesquite coppice dunes (sand dunes stabilized by mesquites growing in the dune and on its surface) found only at one of the two sites. Wind direction, u * (friction velocity), z 0 (aerodynamic roughness height) and D (zero plane displacement height) were estimated for 15-m tower and 3-m mast data. These aerodynamic data allowed us to distinguish five categories with differing potentials for sediment transport. Sediment transport for the five categories varied from unrestricted, free transport to virtually no transport caused by vegetation protection from wind forces. In addition, “steering” of winds below the level of the tops of mesquite bushes and coppice dunes allowed longer parallel wind durations and increased wind erosion for streets that aligned roughly SW–NE.

AB  - The hydrochemical signatures of forested ecosystems are known to be determined by a time-variant combination of physical-hydrologic, geochemical, and biologic processes. We studied subsurface potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and nitrate (NO3) in an experimental red -pine mesocosm to determine how trees affect the behavior of these nutrients in soil water, both during growth and after a harvest disturbance. Solution chemistry was monitored for 2 years at the end of a 15-year period of tree growth, and then for 3 more years after harvest and removal of aboveground biomass. Concentrations were characterized by three distinct temporal patterns that we ascribe to changes in solute generation mechanisms. Prior to harvest, K soil-water concentrations were relatively uniform with depth, whereas Ca soil-water concentrations doubled with depth. Nitrate concentrations were below detection in soil water and discharge (drainage) water. Plant uptake and water/nutrient cycling exerted strong control during this interval. During the 1st year after harvest, K concentrations tripled in shallow soil water, relative to preharvest levels, and showed a strong seasonal peak in discharge that mimicked soil temperature. Summer soil temperatures and annual water flux also increased. Decomposition of labile litter, with complete nitrogen (N) immobilization, characterized this interval. In the third interval (years 2 and 3 after harvest), decomposition shifted from N to carbon (C) limitation, and Ca and NO3 concentrations in discharge spiked to nearly 200 and 400 μM, respectively. Relatively stable ionic strength and carbonate chemistry in discharge, throughout the study period, indicate that carbonic-acid weathering was sustained by belowground decomposition long after the harvest. This stable chemical weathering regime, along with the persistence of N limitation for a long period after disturbance, may be characteristic of early-phase primary-successional systems.

AB  - An improved global positioning system (GPS)-based animal tracking system is needed to meet quickly evolving demands of ecological research, range livestock production, and natural resource management. Commercially available tracking systems lack the data storage capacity needed to frequently collect animal location data (e.g., 15-minute intervals or less) over long-term deployment periods (e.g., 1 year or more). Some commercial systems have remote data-download capabilities, reducing the need to recapture tagged animals for data retrieval, but these systems download data via satellite (Argos), global system for mobile communications (GSM) cellular telephone, or telemetry radio frequencies. Satellite systems are excessively expensive, and GSM cellular coverage is extremely limited within the United States. Radio-based systems use narrow-band very-high- or ultra-high frequencies requiring the user to obtain frequency allocations. None of these existing systems were designed to provide continual, real-time data access. The Clark GPS Animal Tracking System (Clark ATS) was developed to meet the evolving demands of animal ethologists, ecologists, natural resource managers, and livestock producers. The Clark ATS uses memory-card technology for expandable data storage from 16 megabytes to 8 gigabytes. Remote data downloading and program uploading is accomplished using spread-spectrum radio transceivers, which do not require narrow-band radio frequency allocations. These radios also transmit, at a user-defined time interval, a real-time, GPS-location beacon to any Clark ATS base station within range (about 24 km or 15 miles line of sight). Advances incorporated into the Clark ATS make it possible to evaluate animal behavior at very fine spatial- and temporal-resolution over long periods of time. The real-time monitoring provided by this system enables researchers to accurately examine animal distribution and activity responses to acute, short-term disturbances relative to longer-term behavioral patterns. The Clark ATS also provides a huge time- and cost-savings to researchers and natural resource managers attempting to relocate a tagged animal in the field for direct observation or other operations.

AB  - Se necesita un sistema mejorado de rastreo de animales basado en GPS para satisfacer las crecientes demandas de investigación ecológica, producción de ganado en pastizales y el manejo de los recursos naturales. Los sistemas de rastreo comerciales disponibles carecen de la capacidad de almacenaje de datos necesaria para colectar frecuentemente la localización del animal (por ejemplo, a intervalos de 15 minutos o menos) en un período largo de tiempo (un año o mas). Algunos sistemas comerciales tienen capacidad de descargar datos a larga distancia, reduciendo la necesidad de recapturar los animales marcados para recuperar los datos, pero estos sistemas descargan los datos vía satélite (Argos), a través de telefonía celular GSM o de radiofrecuencias de telemetría. Los sistemas de satélite son excesivamente caros y la cobertura de la telefonía celular GSM es extremadamente limitada dentro de Estados Unidos de América. Los sistemas basados en radio usan bandas estrechas de frecuencia VHF o UHF, requiriendo que el usuario obtenga asignaciones de frecuencia. Ninguno de los sistemas existentes fueron diseñados para proveer un acceso continuo en tiempo real. El Sistema de Rastreo de Animales Clark GPS (Clark ATS) fue desarrollado para satisfacer las demandas de los etólogos animal, ecóiogos, manejadores de recursos naturales y productores de ganado. El Clark ATS utiliza tecnología de tarjeta de memoria para expandir la capacidad de almacenaje de datos de 16 megabytes a 8 gigabytes. La descarga remota de datos y la carga del programa se logra usando radio transcriptores de espectro amplio, que no requieren la asignación de frecuencias de radio de banda angosta. Estos radios también transmiten, a un intervalo de tiempo definido por el usuario, en tiempo real, la localización de la baliza de GPS a cualquier base de Clark ATS dentro del rango ( aproximadamente 24 km o 15 millas en línea recta). Los avances incorporados al Clark ATS hacen posible evaluar el comportamiento animal a una resolución espacial y temporal muy fina por largos períodos de tiempo. El monitoreo en tiempo real suministrado por este sistema permite a los investigadores examinar acertadamente la distribución de los animales y las actividades en respuesta a disturbios severos a corto plazo en relación a los patrones de comportamiento a largo plazo. El Clark ATS también proporciona grandes ahorros de tiempo y costos a los investigadores y manejadores de recursos naturales que intentan relocalizar en el campo a los animales marcados para realizar observaciones directas u otras operaciones.

AB  - Manure amendments to rangelands may alter soil functions related to nutrient recycling. We investigated the influence of grazing and cattle manure on soil carbon, nitrogen, Mehlich 3 phosphorus, and activities of alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase. Fertilizer treatments (unamended, manure, or urea + potassium dihydrogen phosphate [KH2PO4] fertilizer) were imposed under grazed and nongrazed conditions in a short-grass native rangeland. Manure was applied at rates of ∼ 125 kg N ha-1 and ∼ 42 kg P ha-1, and urea + KH2PO4 was applied at 75 kg N ha-1 and 20 kg P ha-1, respectively. Total aboveground biomass and soil samples at 4 depths (0-200 mm) were collected throughout 2 growing seasons. A controlled environment study also evaluated fertilizer source effects on enzymatic activities at 5 P rates (0-120 mg ⋅ kg-1 P as manure or urea + KH2PO4). Amendments significantly (P < 0.05) increased extractable P following the second application for the 3 uppermost depth increments. Extractable P was greatest on manure-amended plots, increasing 44% from February 1999 to July 2000 at the surface. However, increases in P extractability as a proportion of total P applied were similar for manure and KH2PO4. Enzymatic activities were significantly (P < 0.001) influenced by sampling date and soil depth. There were no consistent grazing effects on enzyme activities. Amendments did not influence dehydrogenase activities in the field; however, in the controlled environment, activities averaged 16% greater across all rates for manure-amended soil as compared with urea + KH2PO4-amended soil (P = 0.025). Phosphatase activities increased significantly following manure applications under both field (P = 0.007) and controlled environment (P = 0.003) conditions. Elevated phosphatase activities following manure applications probably led to enhanced P mineralization and similar P extractabilities as a proportion of total P applied for manure- and KH2PO4-amended soils. Therefore, when determining applications rates, total manure P should be considered bioavailable. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La aplicación de estiércol en los pastizales puede alterar las funciones del suelo y el reciclaje de nutrientes, Investigamos la influencia del apacentamiento y estiércol del ganado sobre el carbón del suelo, nitrógeno, fósforo Mehlich 3 y las actividades de la fosfatasa alcalina y la dehidrogenasa. Se aplicaron tratamientos de fertilización (control sin fertilizante o estiércol, estiércol y fertilizante a base de urea + KH2PO4) a un pastizal nativo de zacates cortos con condiciones de apacentamiento y sin apacentamiento. El estiércol se aplicó en dosis de ∼ 125 kg N ha-1 y ∼ 42 kg P ha-1 y la urea + KH2PO4 se aplicó en dosis de 75 kg N ha-1 y 20 kg P ha-1, respectivamente. Muestras de biomasa aérea y de suelo a 4 profundidades (0-200 mm) se colectaron a lo largo de 2 estaciones de crecimiento. En un estudio bajo ambiente controlado también se evaluaron los efectos de la fuente de fertilizante sobre las actividades enzimáticas a 5 dosis de P (0-120 mg ⋅ kg-1 P como estiércol o como urea + KH2PO4). Los fertilizantes incrementaron significativamente (P < 0.05) el fósforo extractable después de la segunda aplicación, en las 3 profundidades de suelo superiores. El fósforo extractable fue mayor en la superficie de las parcelas donde se aplicó el estiércol, aumentando 44% de Febrero de 1999 a Julio del 2000. Sin embargo, el aumento de la extractibilidad del P, en proporción al P total aplicado, fue similar para el estiércol y el KH2PO4. Las actividades enzimáticas fueron significativamente (P < 0.001) influenciadas por la fecha de muestreo y la profundidad del suelo. No hubo efectos consistentes del apacentamiento del ganado sobre la actividad enzimática. Los fertilizantes no influenciaron las actividades de la dehidrogenasa en el campo; sin embargo, en el ambiente controlado, las actividades promediaron 16% más, a través de todas las dosis, en los suelos con aplicación de estiércol en comparación con los que recibieron urea + KH2PO4 (P = 0.025). Las actividades de la fosfatasa aumentaron significativamente después de la aplicación de estiércol, tanto en condiciones de campo (P = 0.007) como en ambiente controlado (P = 0.003). Las elevadas actividades de la fosfatasa después de la aplicación de estiércol probablemente condujeron a un aumento en la mineralización del P y a extractibilidades del P, con relación al P total aplicado, similares para suelos con aplicaciones de estiércol y KH2PO4. Por lo tanto, al determinar las dosis de aplicación, el P total del estiércol debe ser considerado biodisponible. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The US Wheat Genome Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, developed the first large public Triticeae expressed sequence tag (EST) resource. Altogether, 116 272 ESTs were produced, comprising 100 674 5′ ESTs and 15 598 3′ ESTs. These ESTs were derived from 42 cDNA libraries, which were created from hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its close relatives, including diploid wheat (T. monococcum L. and Aegilops speltoides L.), tetraploid wheat (T. turgidum L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.), using tissues collected from various stages of plant growth and development and under diverse regimes of abiotic and biotic stress treatments. ESTs were assembled into 18 876 contigs and 23 034 singletons, or 41 910 wheat unigenes. Over 90% of the contigs contained fewer than 10 EST members, implying that the ESTs represented a diverse selection of genes and that genes expressed at low and moderate to high levels were well sampled. Statistical methods were used to study the correlation of gene expression patterns, based on the ESTs clustered in the1536 contigs that contained at least 10 5′ EST members and thus representing the most abundant genes expressed in wheat. Analysis further identified genes in wheat that were significantly upregulated (p < 0.05) in tissues under various abiotic stresses when compared with control tissues. Though the function annotation cannot be assigned for many of these genes, it is likely that they play a role associated with the stress response. This study predicted the possible functionality for 4% of total wheat unigenes, which leaves the remaining 96% with their functional roles and expression patterns largely unknown. Nonetheless, the EST data generated in this project provide a diverse and rich source for gene discovery in wheat. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le projet américain sur le génome du blé, financé par la « National Science Foundation », a développé la première grande collection publique d'EST chez les hordées. Au total, 116 272 EST ont été produits à partir de 42 banques d'ADNc du blé hexaploïde (Triticum aestivum L.) ou de ses proches parents dont des blés diploïdes (T. monococcum L. et Aegilops speltoides L.), tétraploïdes (T. turgidum L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.). Les ADNc étaient issus de tissus prélevés à divers stades de croissance ou de développement et soumis à différents stress biotiques ou abiotiques. Les EST ont été assemblés pour former 18 876 contigs et 23 034 singulons pour un total de 41 910 unigènes. Plus de 90 % des contigs comprenaient moins de 10 EST, ce qui implique que les EST représentaient une vaste gamme de gènes et que les gènes modérément ou faiblement exprimés étaient bien échantillonnés. Des analyses statistiques ont été employées pour étudier la corrélation entre les motifs d'expression génique en s'appuyant sur les EST compris au sein des 1 536 contigs qui comptaient au moins 10 EST en 5′ (ceux qui représentent vraisemblablement les gènes le plus fortement exprimés chez le blé). Des analyses ont également permis d'identifier des gènes dont l'expression était significativement plus élevée (p < 0,05) au sein de tissus ayant subi divers stress par rapport aux tissus témoins. Bien qu'on ne puisse assigner aucune fonction à plusieurs de ces gènes, il est probable qu'ils jouent un rôle dans la réponse aux stress. Cette étude a permis de prédire une fonction pour 4 % des unigènes chez le blé, ce qui laisse 96 % de gènes pour lesquels la fonction demeure largement inconnue. Néanmoins, les données produites sur les EST au cours de ce travail constituent une vaste et riche ressource pour la découverte de gènes chez le blé. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Influenza A virus infects various animal species and transmits among different hosts, especially between humans and swine. Swine may serve as a mixing vessel to create new reassortants that could infect humans. Thus, monitoring and characterizing influenza viruses in swine are important in preventing interspecies transmission. We report the emergence and characterization of a novel H3N1 subtype of swine influenza virus (SIV) in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the H3N1 SIVs may have acquired the hemagglutinin gene from an H3N2 turkey isolate, the neuraminidase gene from a human H1N1 isolate, and the remaining genes from currently circulating SIVs. The H3N1 SIVs were antigenically related to the turkey virus. Lung lesions and nasal shedding occurred in swine infected with the H3N1 SIVs, suggesting the potential to transmit among swine and to humans. Further surveillance will help determine whether this novel subtype will continue to circulate in swine populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Forest trees have gained much attention in recent years as nonclassical model eukaryotes for population, evolutionary and ecological genomic studies. Because of low domestication, large open-pollinated native populations, and high levels of both genetic and phenotypic variation, they are ideal organisms to unveil the molecular basis of population adaptive divergence in nature. Population genomics, in its broad-sense definition, is an emerging discipline that combines genome-wide sampling with traditional population genetic approaches to understanding evolution. Here we briefly review traditional methods of studying adaptive genetic variation in forest trees, and describe a new, integrated population genomics approach. First, alleles (haplotypes) at candidate genes for adaptive traits and their effects on phenotypes need to be characterized via sequencing and association mapping. At this stage, functional genomics can assist in understanding gene action and regulation by providing detailed transcriptional profiles. Second, frequencies of alleles in native populations for causative single-nucleotide polymorphisms are estimated to identify patterns of adaptive variation across heterogeneous environments. Population genomics, through deciphering allelic effects on phenotypes and identifying patterns of adaptive variation at the landscape level, will in the future constitute a useful tool, if cost-effective, to design conservation strategies for forest trees.

AB  - The aim was to assess the inhibitory effect of a series of naturally occurring trans -resveratrol analogues on cytochromes P450, namely CYP1A2 and CYP2E1, in vitro in order to analyse any structure–activity relationships. 3,5-Dimethoxy-4′-hydroxy- trans -stilbene (pterostilbene), 3,4′,5-trimethoxy- trans -stilbene (TMS), 3,4′-dihydroxy-5-methoxy- trans -stilbene (3,4′-DH-5-MS) and 3,5-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy- trans -stilbene (3,5-DH-4′-MS) inhibited the activity of CYP1A2, with K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;0.39, 0.79, 0.94 and 1.04&ThickSpace;µM, respectively. Piceatannol (3,3′,4,5′-tetrahydroxy- trans -stilbene) was the least potent inhibitor of CYP1A2 with a K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;9.67&ThickSpace;µM. Piceatannol and TMS in the concentration range 1–100&ThickSpace;µM did not inhibit CYP2E1 activity. The activity of this enzyme likewise was not significantly influenced by pterostilbene and 3,5-DH-4′-MS with IC 50 &ThickSpace;>&ThickSpace;100&ThickSpace;µM, whereas 3,4′-DH-5-MS appeared to be a moderately potent, competitive inhibitor of CYP2E1 ( K i &ThickSpace;=&ThickSpace;42.6&ThickSpace;µM). Structure–activity relationship analysis leads to the conclusion that the substitution of hydroxy groups of resveratrol with methoxy groups increases the inhibition of CYP1A2, yet the number and position of methylation are not essential. However, the 4′-hydroxy group in trans -resveratrol and its analogues may play an important role in the interaction with a binding site of CYP2E1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The expression of type I membrane Fas receptors on the surface of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) theronts and the possible association between Fas expression and theront apoptosis induced by the immune antibody was examined. Fas receptors were detected on the theront surface using fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody against Fas. Fas-positive theronts significantly increased with time during in vitro incubation and with increasing theront concentration. Furthermore, the immune cutaneous antibody induced theront apoptosis; however, Fas ligand did not. A highly significant correlation was noted between theront Fas expression and immune cutaneous antibody-induced theront apoptosis. Numbers of apoptotic theronts increased with increasing number of Fas-positive theronts. The data indicated that theront apoptosis induced by immune cutaneous antibody appears to be positively correlated with the expression of Fas on the surface of Ich theronts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. producing the antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) play a key role in the suppressiveness of some soils to take-all of wheat and other diseases caused by soilborne pathogens. Soils from side-by-side fields on the campus of North Dakota State University, Fargo, USA, which have undergone continuous wheat, continuous flax or crop rotation for over 100 years, were assayed for the presence of 2,4-DAPG producers. Flax and wheat monoculture, but not crop rotation, enriched for 2,4-DAPG producers, and population sizes of log 5.0 CFU g root−1 or higher were detected in the rhizospheres of wheat and flax grown in the two monoculture soils. The composition of the genotypes enriched by the two crops differed. Four BOX-PCR genotypes (D, F, G, and J) and a new genotype (T) were detected among the 2,4-DAPG producers in the continuous flax soil, with F- and J-genotype isolates dominating (41 and 39% of the total, respectively). In contrast, two genotypes (D and I) were detected in the soil with continuous wheat, with D-genotype isolates comprising 77% of the total. In the crop-rotation soil, populations of 2,4-DAPG producers generally were below the detection limit, and only one genotype (J) was detected. Under growth-chamber and field conditions, D and I genotypes (enriched by wheat monoculture) colonized the wheat rhizosphere significantly better than isolates of other genotypes, while a J-genotype isolate colonized wheat and flax rhizospheres to the same extent. This study suggests that, over many years of monoculture, the crop species grown in a field enriches for genotypes of 2,4-DAPG producers from the reservoir of genotypes naturally present in the soil that are especially adapted to colonizing the rhizosphere of the crop grown.

AB  - Heterogeneous distribution of ungulates about the landscape can be a particularly vexing problem for resource managers. Although livestock preferences for leaves over stems among plants and patches of herbage are well documented, effects of senescent forage (herbage supporting both green and cured materials) on cattle distribution and nutrition at pasture scales have not been investigated. Our primary objective was to determine the proportions of time cattle spent foraging within senescent and conditioned sectors (areas supporting only current season's herbage) of pastures. Other endeavors included the following: comparing velocities of foraging cattle in conditioned and senescent sectors, determining diet quality of cattle confined to conditioned and senescent treatments, and quantifying levels of forage utilization by cattle in conditioned and senescent treatments. Global positioning system collars were used to track cattle movement and activity in treated crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum [Fisher ex Link] Schultes) pastures. Over a 7-day trial, cattle were found in senescent and conditioned areas 41% and 59% of the time, respectively. When cattle were grazing, 32% of observations were in senescent sectors and 68% were in conditioned areas. With a decline in standing crop in the conditioned treatment, cattle switched to senescent herbage (73% of observations) on day 7. Standing crop was reduced by 13% to 40% in conditioned sectors and increased by 10% in senescent areas. Despite disparities in the crude protein of standing crops in senescent (... = 6.5%) and conditioned (... = 11.3%) treatments, cattle confined to treatment harvested diets of similar quality (... = 13.6% CP) at turn-out. Cattle walked farther when making transitions between treatments, and walked farther each day as the trial progressed. A preference of foraging cattle for portions of pastures grazed (conditioned areas) during the previous growing season suggests that utilization patterns established by livestock are self-sustaining.

AB  - The shrub honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa Torr.) readily encroaches into rangelands in the southwestern United States that vary in annual rainfall by almost a factor of 5 (200 to 1 000 mm). This occurs partly because mesquite seedlings grow rapidly and become uncoupled from competition with established herbaceous vegetation. Species that occupy such a wide precipitation gradient frequently include plants that differ genetically in seedling growth rate. Whether atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment affects seedling biomass uniformly across mesquite genotypes or magnifies the expression of genetic variation in seedling growth remains unresolved. We measured the effects of CO2 enrichment on growth of seedlings derived from 14 adult plants (open-pollinated families), 7 plants each from rangelands located near extremes of the rainfall gradient occupied by the shrub (arid southeastern New Mexico vs. mesic central Texas). Growth was measured over days 10 to 30 following emergence on well-watered seedlings in glasshouses at ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations (391 and 706 µmol · mol-1, respectively). Proportional responses of biomass (day 30) to CO2 enrichment varied from 1.03 to 1.74 among families. CO2 enrichment did not consistently favor the largest or fastest-growing families at ambient CO2. Rather, proportional responses of biomass to elevated CO22 were highly correlated across families with the stimulation of relative growth rate (RGR) at elevated CO2. Biomass at ambient CO2 was 19% greater, on average, in families from mesic rangeland than from arid rangeland, but families from extremes of the precipitation gradient did not diverge by seedling size or response to CO2. Selection for greater RGR could augment the mean growth response of mesquite seedlings to CO2. Even in the absence of selection, CO2 enrichment could increase mesquite establishment by enhancing seedling growth and thereby exacerbate the management challenge of minimizing woody encroachment.

AB  - Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), were immunized with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) theronts and trophonts, and the immune response and host protection against both homologous and heterologous serotypes of Ich were evaluated. Immunizations were done with two immobilization serotypes (ARS4 and ARS6) of live theronts by bath immersion (trial I) and with sonicated trophonts by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection (trial II). Cutaneous and serum antibody titres against Ich following immunization were measured and survival of catfish was determined after theront challenge. Theronts were immobilized by the antiserum from fish immunized with homologous theronts or trophonts, but not by the serum of fish immunized with the heterologous serotype. Serum from fish immunized by immersion with live theronts showed higher enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titres against both homologous and heterologous serotypes than fish immunized by i.p. injection of trophonts. Channel catfish immunized by immersion with live theronts or by i.p. injection with sonicated trophonts developed an immune response against Ich and provided cross-protection against challenge from both serotypes (ARS4 and ARS6) of the parasite. Sonicated trophont antigens in aqueous solution by i.p. injection could stimulate an immune response in fish, but the immunity was of short duration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aflatoxin contamination of food and feed is a major concern due to the carcinogenic properties of this mycotoxin. Previous studies using classical approaches have identified a cluster of genes responsible for aflatoxin production under the control of the pathway-specific transcriptional regulator aflR, but it is unknown whether aflR controls expression of other genes within the genome. Transcription profiling comparing wild type and Δ aflR strains of Aspergillus parasiticus grown under conditions conducive for aflatoxin production identified only 23 upregulated genes in the wild type. These included 20 genes in the aflatoxin biosynthetic cluster, and three additional genes outside the aflatoxin biosynthetic cluster ( nadA, hlyC, and niiA), all with AflR binding sites. This report is the first to demonstrate genes outside the biosynthetic cluster as being associated with aflR expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Predicting emerging diseases is among the most difficult challenges facing researchers and health managers. We present available approaches and tools to detect emerging diseases in animals based on clinical observations of farm animals by veterinarians. Three information systems are described and discussed: Veterinary Practitioner Aided Disease Surveillance in New Zealand, the Rapid Syndrome Validation Project--Animal in the United States, and "émergences" in France. These systems are based on syndromic surveillance with the notification of every case or of specific clinical syndromes or on the notification of atypical clinical cases. Data are entered by field veterinarians into forms available through Internet-accessible devices. Beyond challenges of implementing new information systems, minimizing economic and health effects from emerging diseases in animals requires strong synergies across a group of field partners, in research, and in international animal and public health customs and practices.

N2  - The substitution of capital for labor and new labor-saving technologies has reduced the labor required for farming, yet many farms today depend on hired labor in some form. Common in the literature is the assumption of perfectly substitutable farm labor. This has implications for the operator's off-farm labor decision. Intuitively, different forms of farm labor have different impacts on production. We use the Agricultural and Resource Management Survey to estimate the elasticity of substitution between hired and family labor. The results provide little evidence to support the popular homogeneity assumption and find labor can be unitary and complimentary under certain scenarios.

N2  - An evaluation of the risk-reducing effectiveness of the Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy (LGM-Dairy) insurance program, using historical futures price data, predicts economically significant reductions in downside margin risk (24-41%) across multiple regions. Supply analysis based on the estimated risk reduction shows a small supply response, assuming minimal subsidization. A decomposition of the simulated indemnities into milk price and feed price components shows comovements in futures prices moderating the frequency and levels of indemnities.

N2  - This paper explores the governance options surrounding geoengineering-the deliberate, large-scale manipulation of the Earth's climate system to counteract climate change. The authors focus solely on methods that affect the incoming solar radiation to the atmosphere, referred to as solar radiation management (SRM). They examine whether an international governance framework for SRM is needed, how it should be designed, and whether it is feasible. The authors propose a governance regime that initially has small membership and weak legalization, and is flexible in that future institutional reforms allow for broader membership and deeper commitments. The article provides supporting evidence for key aspects of the regime through past international treaties in arms control and environmental protection, including the Antarctica, Outer Space, and Montreal Protocol treaty regimes. For these cases, acting early and treating the respective problems as part of the "regulation of unexplored territory" produced more effective outcomes than the "national appropriation" approach that characterizes arms control.

N2  - We estimate a demand system for ten nonalcoholic beverages to disentangle effects of prices, expenditures, advertising, and demographics on demand for nonalcoholic beverages for 1999 through 2010. We find that changes in demographic composition of the population between 1999 and 2008 played a much bigger role in observed purchasing patterns for recently introduced beverages like soy, rice, and almond drinks, isotonic and energy drinks, and bottled water whereas changes in prices and advertising expenditures largely explained declining demand for milk, regular carbonated soft drinks, and coffee and tea. However, between 2008 and 2010, declining demand for most nonalcoholic beverages was largely driven by income-led decreases in expenditures.

AB  - Abstract: A heterogeneous-firm trade model can explain the recent decrease in exchange rate pass-through to aggregate US import prices as a result of decreased trade costs. This paper finds support for this explanation by testing another implication of this type of heterogeneous firm model: lower exchange rate pass-through for goods that are traded for short periods of time.

AB  - Computerized mating programs using genomic information are needed by breed associations, artificial-insemination organizations, and on-farm software providers, but such software is already challenged by the size of the relationship matrix. As of October 2012, over 230,000 Holsteins obtained genomic predictions in North America. Efficient methods of storing, computing, and transferring genomic relationships from a central database to customers via a web query were developed for approximately 165,000 genotyped cows and the subset of 1,518 bulls whose semen was available for purchase at that time. This study, utilizing 3 breeds, investigated differences in sire selection, methods of assigning mates, the use of genomic or pedigree relationships, and the effect of including dominance effects in a mating program. For both Jerseys and Holsteins, selection and mating programs were tested using the top 50 marketed bulls for genomic and traditional lifetime net merit as well as 50 randomly selected bulls. The 500 youngest genotyped cows in the largest herd in each breed were assigned mates of the same breed with limits of 10 cows per bull and 1 bull per cow (only 79 cows and 8 bulls for Brown Swiss). A dominance variance of 4.1 and 3.7% was estimated for Holsteins and Jerseys using 45,187 markers and management group deviation for milk yield. Sire selection was identified as the most important component of improving expected progeny value, followed by managing inbreeding and then inclusion of dominance. The respective percentage gains for milk yield in this study were 64, 27, and 9, for Holsteins and 73, 20, and 7 for Jerseys. The linear programming method of assigning a mate outperformed sequential selection by reducing genomic or pedigree inbreeding by 0.86 to 1.06 and 0.93 to 1.41, respectively. Use of genomic over pedigree relationship information provided a larger decrease in expected progeny inbreeding and thus greater expected progeny value. Based on lifetime net merit, the economic value of using genomic relationships was >$3 million per year for Holsteins when applied to all genotyped females, assuming that each will provide 1 replacement. Previous mating programs required transferring only a pedigree file to customers, but better service is possible by incorporating genomic relationships, more precise mate allocation, and dominance effects. Economic benefits will continue to grow as more females are genotyped. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article compares the theoretical and functional specification of production in partial equilibrium (PE) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of the global agricultural and food system included in the AgMIP model comparison study. The two model families differ in their scope-partial versus economy-wide-and in how they represent technology and the behavior of supply and demand in markets. The CGE models are 'deep' structural models in that they explicitly solve the maximization problem of consumers and producers, assuming utility maximization and profit maximization with production/cost functions that include all factor inputs. The PE models divide into two groups on the supply side: (1) 'shallow' structural models, which essentially specify area/yield supply functions with no explicit maximization behavior, and (2) 'deep' structural models that provide a detailed activity-analysis specification of technology and explicit optimizing behavior by producers. While the models vary in their specifications of technology, both within and between the PE and CGE families, we consider two stylized theoretical models to compare the behavior of crop yields and supply functions in CGE models with their behavior in shallow structural PE models. We find that the theoretical responsiveness of supply to changes in prices can be similar, depending on parameter choices that define the behavior of implicit supply functions over the domain of applicability defined by the common scenarios used in the AgMIP comparisons. In practice, however, the applied models are more complex and differ in their empirical sensitivity to variations in specification-comparability of results given parameter choices is an empirical question. To illustrate the issues, sensitivity analysis is done with one global CGE model, MAGNET, to indicate how the results vary with different specification of technical change, and how they compare with the results from PE models.

AB  - Agriculture is unique among economic sectors in the nature of impacts from climate change. The production activity that transforms inputs into agricultural outputs involves direct use of weather inputs (temperature, solar radiation available to the plant, and precipitation). Previous studies of the impacts of climate change on agriculture have reported substantial differences in outcomes such as prices, production, and trade arising from differences in model inputs and model specification. This article presents climate change results and underlying determinants from a model comparison exercise with 10 of the leading global economic models that include significant representation of agriculture. By harmonizing key drivers that include climate change effects, differences in model outcomes were reduced. The particular choice of climate change drivers for this comparison activity results in large and negative productivity effects. All models respond with higher prices. Producer behavior differs by model with some emphasizing area response and others yield response. Demand response is least important. The differences reflect both differences in model specification and perspectives on the future. The results from this study highlight the need to more fully compare the deep model parameters, to generate a call for a combination of econometric and validation studies to narrow the degree of uncertainty and variability in these parameters and to move to Monte Carlo type simulations to better map the contours of economic uncertainty.

AB  - Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in lean individuals is not well studied and up to 26% of diabetes occurs in these individuals. Although the cause is not well understood, it has been primarily attributed to nutritional issues during early development.Objective: Our objective was to develop a lean T2D model using gestational low-protein (LP) programming.Study Design: Pregnant rats were fed control (20% protein) or isocaloric LP (6%) diet from gestational day 4 until delivery. Standard diet was given to dams after delivery and to pups after weaning. Glucose tolerance test was done at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Magnetic resonance imaging of body fat for females was done at 4 months. Rats were sacrificed at 4 and 8 months of age and their perigonadal, perirenal, inguinal, and brown fat were weighed and expressed relative to their body weight. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp was done around 6 months of age.Results: Male and female offspring exposed to a LP diet during gestation developed glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR). Further, glucose intolerance progressed with increasing age and occurred earlier and was more severe in females when compared to males. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp showed whole body IR in both sexes, with females demonstrating increased IR compared to males. LP females showed a 4.5-fold increase in IR while males showed a 2.5-fold increase when compared to their respective controls. Data from magnetic resonance imaging on female offspring showed no difference in the subcutaneous, inguinal, and visceral fat content. We were able to validate this observation by sacrificing the rats at 4 and 8 months and measuring total body fat content. This showed no differences in body fat content between control and LP offspring in either males or females. Additionally, diabetic rats had a similar body mass index to that of the controls.Conclusion: LP gestational programming produces a progressively worsening T2D model in rats with a lean phenotype without obesity.

AB  - Purpose: The purpose of the Mobile Market Focus Group Questionnaire is to assess consumer attitudes toward mobile markets from the perspectives of both shoppers and non-shoppers.
AB  - Description: The Mobile Market Focus Group Questionnaire (Zepeda, Reznickova, & Lohr, 2014) was developed for the purposes of a study that investigated whether mobile food markets—buses, trucks, or semi-trailers outfitted with refrigeration, cash registers, credit and electronic transfers retailing equipment—may be effective in facilitating healthy food choices in food deserts. Focus groups were conducted in urban and rural communities with different ethnic compositions and different missions of the nonprofits operating mobile markets. The Mobile Market Focus Group Questionnaire was utilized in the focus group discussions, and consists of 4 questions that apply to all participants, 10 intended for shoppers, and 7 intended for non-shoppers. These open-ended questions are sequenced to build from general views to specific attitudes and behaviors, while examining contextual factors, habits, and knowledge. Participants answer in round-robin format and can choose not to respond. The facilitator encourages each respondent to comment, allowing for group discussion and expression of differing opinions. Follow-up or probing questions are asked for clarification. (PsycTESTS Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States has increased attention to the importance of balancing calories in and out to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Numerous policy and educational efforts are aimed at helping consumers achieve calorie balance. Still, a calorie disconnect exists as consumers remain largely unaware of personal calorie needs or the relationship between calories and weight management. A key first step in addressing consumers' calorie confusion may be to familiarize them with their 'dally calorie number,' or the amount of calories that are needed to maintain weight, and how that daily calorie number Is impacted by physical activity. The need to individualize calorie balance communications is essential, as each person has a unique weight management profile that will be impacted by many factors, including age, physical activity, and desired weight outcome. Whereas some Americans would like to maintain weight and prevent further weight gain, many others would likely benefit from tipping the calorie balance equation to achieve successful weight loss. To effectively communicate calorie balance, it is imperative to examine consumer response to calorie balance communications. Some messages or terminology, although widely accepted by nutrition and health professionals, may not be understood by consumers. The social-ecological model is a useful framework to further examine factors that impact behavior change related to food and physical activity decisions, providing opportunities for future research and initiatives aimed at helping consumers achieve calorie balance.

AB  - Abstract: Recombinant replication-defective human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vaccines containing capsid-coding regions from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) have been demonstrated to induce effective immune responses and provide homologous protective immunity against FMDV in cattle. However, basic mechanisms of Ad5-FMDV vaccine function including virus tropism, transgene expression, and antigen presentation, remain incompletely understood. The current study characterized the dynamics of Ad5 viral vector (Ad5-FMDV-A24 and Ad5-luciferase) infection in cell lines and early post-inoculation vector–host interactions in cattle. Adenovirus dissemination was described utilizing novel rPCR, rRT-PCR, luminometry, and immunomicroscopy techniques. In vitro infection of human and bovine cells with both Ad5 vectors resulted in dose-dependent detection of vector DNA, mature mRNA transcripts, and transgene-encoded proteins. Subsequent to intramuscular inoculation of cattle, Ad5 and transgene products were detected at the injection sites of all animals at all time-points examined (6, 24, and 48hpi). Microscopically, injection sites were characterized by marked infiltrates of interstitium consisting of predominantly large mononuclear cells. Immunomicroscopy indicated these cells infrequently contained adenovirus and/or transgenic proteins and were phenotypically consistent with antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells). Vector DNA and mature mRNA transcripts were first detected at the draining and local lymph nodes as early as 6hpi and systemically at 24hpi. These results provide novel insights for understanding Ad5-mediated immunity against FMDV using novel techniques that will contribute to ongoing efforts for the improvement of future Ad-FMDV vaccine platforms.

AB  - Abstract: A solid solution of IrO2, SnO2 and NbO2, denoted as (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2, of compositions (Ir1−2x Sn x Nb x )O2 with x = 0, 0.125, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.425 and 0.50 has been synthesized by thermal decomposition of a homogeneous mixture of IrCl4, SnCl2·2H2O and NbCl5 ethanol solution coated on pretreated Ti foil. The (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 thin film of different compositions coated on Ti foil has been studied as a promising oxygen reduction anode electrocatalyst for PEM based water electrolysis. It has been identified that (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 of composition up to x = 0.30 [(Ir0.40Sn0.30Nb0.30)O2] shows similar electrochemical activity compared to pure IrO2 (x = 0) resulting in ∼60 mol.% reduction in noble metal content. On the other hand, (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 of composition x = 0.20 [(Ir0.20Sn0.40Nb0.40)O2] shows only 20% lower activity compared to pure IrO2 though the noble metal oxide, IrO2 loading is reduced by 80 mol.%. The accelerated life test of the anode electrocatalyst for 48 h followed by elemental analysis of the electrolyte shows that (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 improves the stability of the electrode in comparison to pure IrO2 electrocatalyst in oxygen reduction processes. The excellent electrochemical activity as well as long term structural stability of (Ir,Sn,Nb)O2 during water electrolysis has been discussed using first-principles calculations of the total energies, electronic structures, and cohesive energies of the model systems.

AB  - Abstract: Syn-gas generation in the absence of oxygen by methane decomposition offers an interesting route to decrease reactor size and cost because methane is the only reactant in the gas phase. In this work, several catalysts were studied, Rh/CeO2, Pt/CeO2, Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x , Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x , Rh/γ-Al2O3 and Pt/γ-Al2O3 for methane reforming in the absence of gaseous oxygen. Rhodium showed a superior catalytic activity and selectivity with respect to Pt. This catalytic behavior may be due to the strong metal-support interaction, associated with the formation of mixed metal–oxide species at the interface. The addition of Gd3+ to ceria lowered the required temperatures for catalyst activation with respect to the un-doped material. Conversely to oxygen ion conducting materials, which showed a high selectivity for syn-gas generation, the non-oxygen conducting catalysts did not generated carbon monoxide. These results may be correlated to their oxygen storage capacity and ionic conductivity. Since gaseous oxygen was not delivered to the reactor, it is clear that the only source of oxygen was the catalyst. During the isothermal isotopic oxygen exchange experiments over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x  and Pt/γ-Al2O3, results illustrated that oxygen in the gas phase was exchanged with the oxygen from the catalyst. Three different molecules were detected 16O–18O, 16O–16O and 18O18O. A higher amount of oxygen was exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x  with respect to Pt/γ-Al2O3. It is proposed that mainly lattice and surface oxygen were exchanged over Pt/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2–x  and Pt/γ-Al2O3, respectively. It is also suggested that two types of reaction mechanisms take place, the simple and multiple hetero-exchange with the participation of one and two catalyst oxygen atoms, respectively. Similarly to methane reforming, lower temperatures were required for the oxygen exchange experiments over Rh than over Pt, as illustrated by results of the temperature-programmed exchange reactions. In summary, the properties of doped ceria may open new catalytic routes for oxidation reactions without gaseous oxygen because post-oxidation can restore its oxygen storage capacity.

AB  - Adventitious shoot regeneration of twenty-four pear genotypes was compared in a common in vitro shoot induction and development protocol. This study also compared cultures newly established from scionwood with cultures that been in long-term cold storage. In vitro cultures of 13 Pyrus genotypes and budwood from 23 Pyrus genotypes were obtained from the National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) in Corvallis, Oregon. With the exception of one genotype of P. elaeagrifolia Pall., and 'Ya Li' ( P. pyrifolia var. sinensis Teng & Tanabe), all were P. communis L. cultivars. The basal shoot induction media consisted of Chevreau and Leblay (CL) basal nutrients, vitamins, and organics (Chevreau and Leblay in Acta Hortic 336: 263-268, ). The analysis of variance indicated that differences among genotypes were highly significant and the main effect of culture origin was non-significant. However, there was a significant interaction between genotype and culture origin, with percentage regeneration of 'Abate Fetel' from new budwood significantly greater than that from long-term in vitro cultures, while 'Jesinji Vodenac' cultures derived from the old NCGR cultures regenerated significantly more adventitious shoots. The ranges of mean regeneration frequency were similar for both in vitro (0-87.7%) and scionwood-derived cultures (0-70.7%). Maximum regeneration was observed for 'Conference', followed by 'Magness', 'Dr. Jules Guyot', and Packham's Triumph'. The range of number of adventitious shoots was relatively narrow, with the minimum of 1.0 for seven genotypes to 2.2 for 'Conference'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Previous studies have suggested that lipid from nuts is more poorly absorbed than that from other food sources. If lipid from nuts is poorly absorbed, then the metabolisable energy contained in the nuts is less than that predicted by the Atwater general factors. A crossover feeding study was conducted in which sixteen volunteers consumed pistachios for 3 weeks as part of a controlled diet. Pistachio doses were 0, 42 and 84 g/d. Urine and faecal samples were collected, and urine, faeces and diet were analysed for N, fat, total dietary fibre, ash and combustible energy. Blood was also collected after each treatment period and analysed for plasma lipids. Energy value of pistachio nuts was calculated from differences in energy excretion during the different dietary treatments. The measured energy density of pistachios was found to be 22·6 kJ/g, which is 5 % less than the currently accepted energy value of 23·7 kJ/g, as calculated using the Atwater general factors. The pistachio nut intervention lowered LDL-cholesterol by 6 %, but did not significantly change plasma total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol or TAG. In conclusion, pistachio nuts contain less metabolisable energy than that calculated from the Atwater general factors. Accurate information about metabolisable energy content of foods is important for reliable food labelling. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Energy efficiency in industrial boiler steam systems can be very low due to old technologies, improper design and non-optimal operation of the steam systems. Solutions include efficiency assessments and investments in steam system optimizations, education and training for operators of the systems. This paper presents case studies on assessing and investing in boiler steam systems in China and Vietnam. Methodologies and approaches for data collection and analyses were designed specifically for each of the two countries. This paper concludes: (1) investing in energy efficiency in industrial boiler steam system in China and Vietnam are cost effective; (2) government should not sent national energy efficiency standards lower than that of energy companies or energy equipment manufactures.

AB  - Abstract: Climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency of disturbances, potentially impacting carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the implications of either multiple disturbances or post-disturbance forest management activities on ecosystem carbon stocks. This study quantified how forest carbon stocks responded to stand-replacing blowdown and wildfire, both individually and in combination with and without post-disturbance salvage operations, in a sub-boreal jack pine ecosystem. Individually, blowdown or fire caused similar decreases in live carbon and total ecosystem carbon. However, whereas blowdown increased carbon in down woody material and forest floor, fire increased carbon in standing snags, a difference that may have consequences for long-term carbon cycling patterns. Fire after the blowdown caused substantial additional reduction in ecosystem carbon stocks, suggesting that potential increases in multiple disturbance events may represent a challenge for sustaining ecosystem carbon stocks. Salvage logging, as examined here, decreased carbon stored in snags and down woody material but had no significant effect on total ecosystem carbon stocks. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Many non-native plants in the US have become problematic invaders of native and managed ecosystems, but a new generation of invasive species may be at our doorstep. Here, we review trends in the horticultural trade and invasion patterns of previously introduced species and show that novel species introductions from emerging horticultural trade partners are likely to rapidly increase invasion risk. At the same time, climate change and water restrictions are increasing demand for new types of species adapted to warm and dry environments. This confluence of forces could expose the US to a range of new invasive species, including many from tropical and semiarid Africa as well as the Middle East. Risk assessment strategies have proven successful elsewhere at identifying and preventing invasions, although some modifications are needed to address emerging threats. Now is the time to implement horticulture import screening measures to prevent this new wave of plant invasions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The extensive mortality of yellow-cedar along more than 1000 kilometers of the northern Pacific coast of North America serves as a leading example of climate effects on a forest tree species. In this article, we document our approaches to resolving the causes of tree death, which we explain as a cascade of interacting topographic, forest-structure, and microclimate factors that act on a unique vulnerability of yellow-cedar to fine-root freezing. The complex causes of tree mortality are reduced to two risk factors -- snow depth and soil drainage -- which are then used to model present and future cedar habitat suitability. We propose a dynamic, comprehensive conservation strategy for this valuable species on the basis of zones created by shifting climate, cedar's ecological niche, and observed risk factors. Research on yellow-cedar decline is offered as a template for understanding and adapting to climate change for other climate-forest issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Container longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings often survive and grow better after outplanting than bareroot seedlings. Because of this, most longleaf pine are now produced in containers. Little is known about nursery fertilization effects on the quality of container longleaf pine seedlings and how that influences outplanting performance. We compared various fertilization rates (0.5, 1, 2, 3, or 4mg nitrogen (N) per week for 20weeks) for two crops (2004 and 2005) of container longleaf pine, grown inside a fully-controlled greenhouse (2004 and 2005) or in an outdoor compound (2005). Seedlings grew larger in the nursery with increasing amounts of N. After 20weeks of fertilizer treatment, seedlings received two additional fertigations at the same treatment rate to promote hardening, N concentrations declined sharply, and seedlings shifted biomass production toward roots. Overall, shoots showed more plasticity to N rate than did roots. Survival of either crop after outplanting was unaffected by nursery N rate. For both crops, no seedlings emerged from the grass stage during the first year after outplanting, and during the second year, more seedlings exited the grass stage and were taller as N rate increased up to 3mg per week. By the third field season, nearly all seedlings in the 2004 crop had exited the grass stage, whereas 44% of 2005 crop grown at 1mgN had yet to initiate height growth, either because of differences in seed source between the two crop years or because of droughty conditions. Our data suggests that an application rate of about 3mgN per week for 20weeks plus two additional applications during hardening yields satisfactory nursery growth as well as field response for the container type we used. The potential for improving field performance by using more robust fall fertilization during nursery production should be investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Coal gasification processes, such as the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), will increase in importance due to the expanding concern over CO2 emissions and global climate change. During the development of a Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent for warm (200°C) fuel gas cleanup, the catalytic formation of carbonyl sulfide (COS), was observed. This is attributed to a heterogeneous reaction involving fuel gas components (CO/CO2/H2/H2S/H2O) and Pd/γ-Al2O3. The concentration of COS increases 200-fold when exposed to the Pd/γ-Al2O3 sorbent. A Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism is proposed and a kinetic model is developed based on experimental results. The effect of γ-Al2O3, a common catalyst for hydrolysis of COS, and H2O on the COS concentration is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Forest fragmentation threatens the sustainability of forest communities in the eastern United States. Forest communities exhibiting either a low total area or low percentage of intact forest are subject to relatively higher risk of shifts in stand composition towards edge-adapted and invasive species. Such changes in stand composition could result in local extirpation of communities, homogenization of forest communities at broader spatial scales, and a consequential reduction of the biodiversity values of forestland. To evaluate current conditions, we combined forest inventory data with land cover data to compare 70 forest communities in terms of the amount and ownership of intact (i.e., not fragmented) forest, and the proximate causes (i.e., adjacent land cover) of fragmentation. Only 45% of total forestland area was intact in 4.41-ha neighborhoods, but that varied from 13% to 78% among forest communities. Among 10 community groups, the proximate causes of fragmentation reflected their typical geographic context, and the relative importance of fragmentation by development was higher in mostly-forested neighborhoods than in less-forested neighborhoods. Fragmentation was also higher on privately owned forestland than on public forestland. Because of the regional dominance of only a few forest communities and private land ownership, the total regional area of intact forest was driven more by the total area of those strata than by their fragmentation characteristics. The results provide insight for targeting land management strategies to maintain the diversity and regional distributions of intact forest communities. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Conserving biodiversity in fire-prone forest ecosystems is challenging for several reasons including differing and incomplete conceptual models of fire-related ecological processes, major gaps in ecological and management knowledge, high variability in fire behavior and ecological responses to fires, altered fire regimes as a result of land-use history and climate change, and the increasing encroachment into forest landscapes by humans. We briefly compare two ecologically distinct fire-prone forest regions, the Pacific Northwest, USA and southeastern Australia with the goal of finding ecological conservation generalities that transcend regional differences as well as differences in scientific concepts and management. We identify the major conceptual scientific and conservation challenges and then present a checklist of questions that need to be answered to implement place-based approaches to conserving biodiversity in fire-prone forest ecosystems. The two regions exhibit both similarities and differences in how biodiversity conservation is conceptualized and applied. Important research and management challenges include: understanding fire-prone systems as coupled natural-human systems, using the disturbance regime concept in multiple ways, dealing with large fire events, using language about the effects of fire with more precision, and researching and monitoring fire and biodiversity at multiple spatial scales. Despite the weaknesses of present conceptual models, it is possible to develop a checklist of principles or questions that can be used to guide management and conservation at local scales across systems. Our list includes: establishing the socio-economic context of fire management, identifying disturbance regimes that will meet conservation goals, moving beyond fuel treatments as a goal, basing management goals on vital attributes of species, and planning for large events including post-fire responses.

AB  - This study analyzes changes in the determinants of use of multiple food assistance (FA) programs by low-income children from 1990 to 2009. Using data from the 1990 and the 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, it compares very poor households with those that are poor and near poor. For both poverty groups, use of other welfare programs, especially Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, is found to be an important determinant of multiple FA program use, but the effects are found to decline over the study period. Volatility in household income-to-poverty ratios is also found to reduce both groups' participation in multiple programs, but this effect grows for the very poor over the length of the study. Very poor children in households with more employed and married adults are found to use fewer FA programs, although they are apparently eligible for these programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: This study presents an alternative assessment of the MODIS LAI product for a 58,000ha evergreen needleleaf forest located in the western Rocky Mountain range in northern Idaho by using lidar data to model (R2 =0.86, RMSE=0.76) and map LAI at higher resolution across a large number of MODIS pixels in their entirety. Moderate resolution (30m) lidar-based LAI estimates were aggregated to the resolution of the 1-km MODIS LAI product and compared to temporally-coincident MODIS retrievals. Differences in the MODIS and lidar-derived values of LAI were grouped and analyzed by several different factors, including MODIS retrieval algorithm, sun/sensor geometry, and sub-pixel heterogeneity in both vegetation and terrain characteristics. Of particular interest is the disparity in the results when MODIS LAI was analyzed according to algorithm retrieval class. We observed relatively good agreement between lidar-derived and MODIS LAI values for pixels retrieved with the main RT algorithm without saturation for LAI LAI≤4. Moreover, for the entire range of LAI values, considerable overestimation of LAI (relative to lidar-derived LAI) occurred when either the main RT with saturation or back-up algorithm retrievals were used to populate the composite product regardless of sub-pixel vegetation structural complexity or sun/sensor geometry. These results are significant because algorithm retrievals based on the main radiative transfer algorithm with or without saturation are characterized as suitable for validation and subsequent ecosystem modeling, yet the magnitude of difference appears to be specific to retrieval quality class and vegetation structural characteristics.

AB  - Abstract: Ethanol production by a recombinant bacterium from wheat straw (WS) at high solid loading by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was studied. The yield of total sugars from dilute acid pretreated WS (150g/L) after enzymatic saccharification was 86.3±1.5g/L. The pretreated WS was bio-abated by growing a fungal strain aerobically in the liquid portion for 16h. The recombinant Escherichia coli strain FBR5 produced 41.1±1.1gethanol/L from non-abated WS hydrolyzate (total sugars, 86.6±0.3g/L) in 168h at pH7.0 and 35°C. The bacterium produced 41.8±0.0gethanol/L in 120h from the bioabated WS by SHF. It produced 41.6±0.7gethanol/L in 120h from bioabated WS by fed-batch SSF. This is the first report of the production of above 4% ethanol from a lignocellulosic hydrolyzate by the recombinant bacterium. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg.) trees are uniquely vulnerable to foliar freezing injury during the cold season (fall and winter), but are also capable of photosynthetic activity if temperatures moderate. To evaluate the influence of calcium (Ca) addition on the physiology of red spruce during the cold season, we measured concentrations of foliar polyamines and free amino acids (putative stress-protection compounds), chlorophyll (a key photosystem component), and sapwood area (a proxy for foliar biomass), for trees in Ca-addition (CaSiO added) and Ca-depleted (reference) watersheds at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (NH, USA). Ca-addition increased concentrations of the amino acids alanine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the polyamines putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) in November, and Put in February relative to foliage from the reference watershed. Consistent with increased stress protection, foliage from the Ca-addition watershed had higher total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a concentrations in February than foliage from the reference watershed. In contrast, foliage from the reference watershed had significantly lower glutamic acid (Glu) and higher alanine (Ala) concentrations in February than foliage from the Ca-addition watershed. Imbalances in Ala:Glu have been attributed to cold sensitivity or damage in other species. In addition to concentration-based differences in foliar compounds, trees from the Ca-addition watershed had higher estimated levels of foliar biomass than trees from the reference watershed. Our findings suggest that Ca-addition increased the stress tolerance and productive capacity of red spruce foliage during the cold season, and resulted in greater crown mass compared to trees growing on untreated soils.

T1  - Suitability of terrestrial laser scanning for studying surface roughness effects on concentrated flow erosion processes in rangelands

AB  - Abstract: Surface roughness is thought to affect concentrated flow erosion – a major mechanism of soil loss on disturbed rangelands. However, quantifying surface roughness in the field at appropriately fine spatial scales is laborious and the scale at which to conduct meaningful roughness measurements is difficult to discern. Rapid, objective, and repeatable field methods are therefore needed to accurately measure surface roughness across a range of spatial scales to advance our understanding and modeling of concentrated flow erosion processes. Surface roughness can be derived from surface topography mapped at the sub-cm level using a field-portable terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). To test the suitability of terrestrial laser scanning for studying surface roughness effects on erosion processes in rangelands, we used concentrated flow simulation techniques at 8.5m2 plots that were randomly placed at rangeland sites in southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho, USA. Local surface roughness (locRMSH) was calculated as the standard deviation of TLS mapped surface heights within moving windows varying in size from 30×30 to 90×90mm. The mean locRMSH of the eroded area and entire plot were negatively correlated (r2 >0.71, RMSE<95.97gmin−1, and r2 >0.74, RMSE<90.07gmin−1, respectively) with concentrated flow erosion. The strength of the locRMSH–erosion relationship and regression model parameters were affected by the moving window size, emphasizing the scale dependence of the locRMSH–erosion relationship. Adjusting locRMSH for slope effects decreased the strength of the locRMSH–erosion relationship from r2 <0.83 to<0.26. Our results indicate that TLS is a useful tool to enhance our current understanding of the effect of surface roughness on overland flow erosion processes and advance hydrologic and erosion model parameter development. Further research is needed to evaluate the locRMSH – concentrated flow erosion relationship over a wider range of soil properties, surface conditions, and spatial extents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Objectives To quantify the relationship between workplace physical factors, particularly hand activity level (HAL) and forceful exertion and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), while taking into account individual factors. To compare quantitative exposure assessment measures with more practical ratings-based measures. Methods In a group of healthcare and manufacturing workers, each study participant's job tasks were evaluated for HAL, forceful exertion and other physical stressors and videotaped for further analysis, including frequency and duration of exertion and postural deviation. Electrodiagnostic testing of median and ulnar nerves and questionnaires were administered to all participants. A CTS case required median mononeuropathy and symptoms on hand diagrams in fingers 1e3. Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyse associations between job and individual factors and CTS. Results Of 477 workers studied, 57 (11.9%) were dominant hand CTS cases. Peak force ⩾70% maximum voluntary contraction versus <20% maximum voluntary contraction resulted in an OR of 2.74 (1.32-5.68) for CTS. Among those with a body mass index ⩾30, the OR for ⩾15 exertions per minute was 3.35 (1.14-9.87). Peak worker ratings of perceived exertion increased the odds for CTS by 1.14 (1.01-1.29) for each unit increase on the 10-point scale. The odds for CTS increased by 1.38 (1.05-1.81) for each unit increase on the HAL 10- point scale among men, but not women. Combined force and HAL values above the ACGIH TLV for HAL resulted in an OR of 2.96 (1.51-5.80) for CTS. Discussion/Conclusions Quantitative and ratingsbased job exposure measures were each associated with CTS. Obesity increased the association between frequency of exertion and CTS [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lake Taihu, China's third largest freshwater lake, exemplifies the severity of eutrophication problems in rapidly developing regions. We used long term land use, water quality, and hydrologic data from 26 in-lake and 32 tributary locations to describe the spatiotemporal patterns in nutrient loads, nutrient concentration, algal biomass, measured as chlorophyll a (Chl-a), in Lake Taihu. Point and nonpoint sources, as determined by chemical oxygen demand, contributed approximately 75 and 25% of the total nutrient loads to the lake, respectively. Spatial patterns in total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in Lake Taihu strongly corresponded with observed loads from adjoining rivers with high concentrations proximate to densely populated areas. Chl-a concentrations exhibited spatial patterns similar to TP and TN concentrations. Generally, nutrient and Chl-a concentrations were highest in the northwestern region of the lake and lowest in the southeastern region of the lake. Seasonally, the largest nutrient loads occurred during summer. The annual net retention rate of TP and TN in Lake Taihu was approximately 30% of the total load. This study identifies regions of the lake and the watershed that are producing more nutrients to develop targeted management strategies. Reducing external P and N input from both point and nonpoint sources is obviously critical to address water quality issues in the lake. In addition, atmospheric deposition and resuspension of existing lake sediments also likely play a role in eutrophication processes and harmful algal blooms occurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plant breeding programs primarily focus on improving a crop's environmental adaptability and biotic stress tolerance in order to increase yield. Crop improvements made since the 1950s - coupled with inexpensive agronomic inputs, such as fertilizers, pesticides, and water have allowed agricultural production to keep pace with human population growth. Plant breeders, particularly those at public institutions, have an interest in reducing agriculture's negative impacts and improving the natural environment to provide or maintain ecosystem services (eg clean soil, water, and air; carbon sequestration), and in creating new agricultural paradigms (eg perennial polycultures). Here, we discuss recent developments in, as well as the goals of, plant breeding, and explain how these may be connected to the specific interests of ecologists and naturalists. Plant breeding can be a powerful tool to bring "harmony" between agriculture and the environment, but partnerships between plant breeders, ecologists, urban planners, and policy makers are needed to make this a reality.

AB  - Parents can influence the phenotypes of their offspring via a number of mechanisms. In harvester ants, whether female progeny develop into workers or daughter queens is strongly influenced by the age and temperature conditions experienced by their mother, which is associated with variation in maternal ecdysteroid deposition in fertilized eggs. In many insects, juvenile hormone (JH) is antagonistic to ecdysteroid release, suggesting that seasonal and age-based variation in maternal JH titers may explain maternal effects on offspring size and reproductive caste. To test this hypothesis, we artificially increased maternal JH titers with methoprene, a JH analog, in laboratory colonies of two Pogonomyrmex populations exhibiting genetic caste determination. Increasing maternal JH resulted in a 50% increase in worker body size, as well as a sharp reduction in total number of progeny reared, but did not alter the genotype of progeny reared to adulthood. The intergenerational effect of JH manipulation was not mediated by a reduction in ecdysteroid deposition into eggs; instead, changes in egg size, trophic egg availability or brood/worker ratio may have altered the nutritional environment of developing larvae. Egg ecdysteroid content was significantly negatively correlated with natural variation in worker body size, however, suggesting that there are multiple independent routes by which queens can modify offspring phenotypes.

AB  - Termites face significant and chronic intranidal selection pressures from parasites and pathogens that colonize their nests. They also encounter microbes outside their nest while foraging and during dispersal of winged primary reproductives to establish new colonies. The latter run the additional risk of becoming infected by a mating partner. Indeed, death of reproductives because of disease is a major cause of incipient colony failure and may favor prescreening prospective mates for signs of illness. To determine the role of disease on mate preference in termites, female primary reproductives of the Pacific dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis (Hagen) simultaneously were presented with reproductive males that were either healthy or exhibiting a progression of symptoms associated with infection by the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff Sorokin). We compared duration and frequency of female visits to healthy and infected males. In addition, we determined the physiological consequences for females exposed to fungal conidia, either directly or indirectly through their mate. Females showed no preference for healthy rather than infected males. Moreover, only directly-exposed females experienced negative physiological effects, having a reduced chance of survival, gaining less weight, developing fewer functional ovarioles, and producing significantly fewer vitellogenic oocytes than controls. Although there are important fitness-related costs of direct exposure, the lack of mate selection based on disease risk suggests that more imminent ecological pressures (e.g., predators, desiccation) override the need for a careful and time-consuming assessment of a potential mate's health.

AB  - Abstract: An Integrated Vacuum Carbonate Absorption Process (IVCAP) currently under development could significantly reduce the energy consumed when capturing CO2 from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants. The biocatalyst carbonic anhydrase (CA) has been found to effectively promote the absorption of CO2 into the potassium carbonate solution that would be used in the IVCAP. Two CA enzymes were immobilized onto three selected support materials having different pore structures. The thermal stability of the immobilized CA enzymes was significantly greater than their free counterparts. For example, the immobilized enzymes retained at least 60% of their initial activities after 90days at 50°C compared to about 30% for their free counterparts under the same conditions. The immobilized CA also had significantly improved resistance to concentrations of sulfate (0.4M), nitrate (0.05M) and chloride (0.3M) typically found in flue gas scrubbing liquids than their free counterparts.

AB  - Intake of added sugars, mainly fructose and sucrose, has been associated with risk factors for cognitive impairment, such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The objective of this analysis was to examine whether habitual intakes of total sugars, added sugars, sugar-sweetened beverages or sweetened solid foods are associated with cognitive function. The present study included 737 participants without diabetes, aged 45–75 years, from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, 2004–9. Cognitive function was measured with a battery of seven tests: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), word list learning, digit span, clock drawing, figure copying, and Stroop and verbal fluency tests. Usual dietary intake was assessed with a validated FFQ. Greater intakes of total sugars, added sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages, but not of sugar-sweetened solid foods, were significantly associated with lower MMSE score, after adjusting for covariates. Adjusted OR for cognitive impairment (MMSE score < 24) were 2·23 (95 % CI 1·24, 3·99) for total sugars and 2·28 (95 % CI 1·26, 4·14) for added sugars, comparing the highest with lowest intake quintiles. Greater intake of total sugars was also significantly associated with lower word list learning score. In conclusion, higher sugar intake appears to be associated with lower cognitive function, but longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the direction of causality. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: In poultry processing plants, fecal material and ingesta are the primary source of carcass contamination with microbial pathogens. The current practice of the poultry inspection in the United States is primarily human visual observations. Since the visual inspection is becoming more challenging in poultry processing plants adopting high-speed lines, a rapid sorting system could significantly improve the detection and monitoring of carcasses with surface fecal material and ingesta. As a result, we developed a prototype line-scan hyperspectral imaging system configured as a real-time multispectral imaging subsystem for online detection of surface fecal material and ingesta. Specifically, we integrated a commercially available off-the-shelf hyperspectral image camera into the system with two line lights and a custom software program for real-time multispectral imaging. The bottleneck of the imaging system was the data acquisition. For that reason, a multithreaded software architecture was designed and implemented not only to meet the application requirements such as speed and detection accuracy, but also to be customizable to different imaging applications such as systemic disease detection in the future. The image acquisition and processing speed tests confirmed the system could operate to scan poultry carcasses in commercial poultry processing plants. The fecal detection algorithm was based on the previous research using different hyperspectral imaging systems. A new carcass detection and image formation algorithm was developed to allow existing image processing and detection algorithms reusable without any modifications. Sixteen chicken carcasses and four different types of fecal and ingesta samples were used in a study to test the imaging system at two different speeds (140 birds per minute and 180 birds per minute) in a pilot-scale poultry processing facility. The study found that the system could grab and process three waveband images of carcasses moving up to 180 birds per minute (a line-scan rate 286Hz) and detect fecal material and ingesta on their surfaces. The detection accuracy of the system varied between 89% and 98% with minimum false positive errors (less than 1%), depending on tested detection algorithms. Therefore, these findings provide the basis of not only a commercially viable imaging platform for fecal detection but also a single poultry inspection system for multiple tasks such as systemic disease detection and quality sorting.

AB  - Abstract: Although intensively managed pine forests are common in the southeastern US, few studies describe how combinations of mechanical (MSP) and chemical site preparation (CSP) and herbaceous weed control (HWC) techniques affect bird communities that use early successional habitats within young pine forests. Therefore, we examined effects of six treatments of increasing management intensity via combinations of MSP (strip-shear and wide spacing or roller chop and narrow spacing) and CSP (application or no application) treatments with banded or broadcast HWC on bird communities in six loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, USA, for 8years following site preparation. Wide pine spacing and strip-shear MSP increased bird abundance and species richness over narrow spacing and chopped MSP for 6years after planting. Chemical SP reduced bird abundance in year 2, increased bird abundance in year 6, had no effect on abundance after year 7, and did not affect species richness in any year. Total bird abundance and species richness were similar between banded and broadcast HWC. Site preparation and HWC had no effect on bird diversity and bird communities were most similar in treatments of similar intensity. Site preparation and HWC had few or no effects on birds based upon migratory status, habitat association, or conservation value. The addition of chemical site preparation or HWC had little effect on birds beyond pine spacing, and bird abundance was not proportional to management intensity. Although we observed treatment effects, all treatments provided habitat used by a variety of bird species, and pine plantations may play an increasingly important role in bird conservation as forests become fragmented and converted to other land uses and as natural processes that create early successional habitat, such as fire, are suppressed.

AB  - Abstract: An environmentally friendly pretreatment process was developed to fractionate cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from almond (Prunus dulcis) shells, consisting of hot water pretreatment (HWP) coupled with organic solvent (organosolv) pretreatment of water/ethanol (OWEP). This integrated pretreatment process proved more effective on the basis of yield of fermentable sugar and lignin separation compared with HWP alone, dilute acid pretreatment (DAP), ammonia pretreatment (AP), lime pretreatment LP, organosolv water/ethanol pretreatment (OWEP), and organosolv water/acetone pretreatment (OWAP). In the coupled hot water-organosolv process, hemicellulose sugars were recovered in the first residual liquid while varying amounts of cellulose was retained in the residual solid. The lignin fraction was obtained by simply adjusting the pH from the second liquid. The optimal two-stage process consisted of first HWP stage at 195 °C for 30 min, resulting in w glucose = 95.4% glucose recovery yield and w xylose = 92.2% xylose removal. The second organosolv OWEP stage was operated at 195 °C for 20 min, in ethanol in water mixtures of <phi>ethanol = 50% and resulted in nearly w glucose = 100% glucose recovery yield, w xylose = 90% xylose and w lignin = 61% lignin removal. After enzymatic hydrolysis, glucose yield was up to w glucose = 95%, compared to 61% yield from untreated almond. Images obtained via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) highlighted the differences in almond structure from the varying pretreatment methods during biomass fractionation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Fat mass is thought to be protective against osteopo- rosis, primarily because of its weight-bearing effect. Few studies have evaluated the association between abdominal fat mass (AFM) and bone health beyond its weight-bearing effect. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that higher body weight- adjusted AFM is associated with poor bone health. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 629 Puerto Rican adults aged 47-79 y. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck, troctianter, total femur, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) were mea- sured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). AFM and total fat mass (TFM) were assessed by using body-composition software from whole-body DXA scans. Osteoporosis and osteope- nia were defined as T-scores ⩽ -2.5 and -1.0 to -2.5 SD, re- spectively, at the respective bone site. Results: After confounders were controlled for, body weight- adjusted AFM was inversely associated with BMD at all 4 bone.sites in women and at the femoral neck in men. For TFM, small inverse associations were seen at the trochanter and total femur in women. In men, similar associations were seen at the 3 femur sites. In both sexes, the odds for osteoporosis or osteopenia at each of the femoral sites increased by 10-16% for every 100-g increase in body weight- adjusted AFM. Conclusions: Higher AFM was associated with poor bone health in this Puerto Rican sample. Efforts to reduce abdominal obesity will not only reduce the risk of chrnnic disease hut may also improve bone health. This trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01231958.

AB  - We review the ecological consequences of N deposition on the five Mediterranean regions of the world. Seasonality of precipitation and fires regulate the N cycle in these water-limited ecosystems, where dry N deposition dominates. Nitrogen accumulation in soils and on plant surfaces results in peaks of availability with the first winter rains. Decoupling between N flushes and plant demand promotes losses via leaching and gas emissions. Differences in P availability may control the response to N inputs and susceptibility to exotic plant invasion. Invasive grasses accumulate as fuel during the dry season, altering fire regimes. California and the Mediterranean Basin are the most threatened by N deposition; however, there is limited evidence for N deposition impacts outside of California. Consequently, more research is needed to determine critical loads for each region and vegetation type based on the most sensitive elements, such as changes in lichen species composition and N cycling.

AB  - Thermostable enzymes and thermophilic cell factories may afford economic advantages in the production of many chemicals and biomass-based fuels. Here we describe and compare the genomes of two thermophilic fungi, Myceliophthora thermophila and Thielavia terrestris. To our knowledge, these genomes are the first described for thermophilic eukaryotes and the first complete telomere-to-telomere genomes for filamentous fungi. Genome analyses and experimental data suggest that both thermophiles are capable of hydrolyzing all major polysaccharides found in biomass. Examination of transcriptome data and secreted proteins suggests that the two fungi use shared approaches in the hydrolysis of cellulose and xylan but distinct mechanisms in pectin degradation. Characterization of the biomass-hydrolyzing activity of recombinant enzymes suggests that these organisms are highly efficient in biomass decomposition at both moderate and high temperatures. Furthermore, we present evidence suggesting that aside from representing a potential reservoir of thermostable enzymes, thermophilic fungi are amenable to manipulation using classical and molecular genetics.

AB  - Abstract: We developed and evaluated a new method of low-pressure gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LP-GC/MS–MS) using a triple quadrupole instrument for fast analysis of 150 relevant pesticides in four representative fruits and vegetables. This LP-GC (vacuum outlet) approach entails coupling a 10m, 0.53mm i.d., 1μm film analytical column between the MS transfer line and a 3m, 0.15mm i.d. capillary at the inlet. The MS creates a vacuum in the 10m analytical column, which reduces the viscosity of the He carrier gas and thereby shifts the optimal flow rate to greater velocity. By taking advantage of the H2-like properties of He under vacuum, the short analytical column, a rapid oven temperature ramp rate, and the high selectivity and sensitivity of MS/MS, 150 pesticides were separated in <6.5min. The 2.5ms dwell time and 1ms interscan delay of the MS/MS instrument were critical for achieving >8 data points across the 2–3s wide peaks. To keep dwell and cycle times constant across all peaks, each segment consisted of 30 analytes (60 transitions). For assessment, we injected extracts of spiked broccoli, cantaloupe, lemon, and sweet potato from the updated QuEChERS sample preparation method. Average recoveries (n =72) were 70–120% for 144 of the pesticides, and reproducibilities were <20% RSD for all but 4 analytes. Also, detection limits were <5ng/g for all but a few pesticides, depending on the matrix. In addition to high quality performance, the method gave excellent reliability and high sample throughput, including easy peak integration to obtain rapid results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The effects of cinnamaldehyde (CINN) on in vitro parameters of immunity and in vivo protection against avian coccidiosis were evaluated. In vitro stimulation of chicken spleen lymphocytes with CINN (25–400 ng/ml) induced greater cell proliferation compared with the medium control (P < 0·001). CINN activated cultured macrophages to produce higher levels of NO at 1·2–5·0 μg/ml (P < 0·001), inhibited the growth of chicken tumour cells at 0·6–2·5 μg/ml (P < 0·001) and reduced the viability of Eimeriatenella parasites at 10 and 100 μg/ml (P < 0·05 and P < 0·001, respectively), compared with media controls. In chickens fed a diet supplemented with CINN at 14·4 mg/kg, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15 and interferon-γ transcripts in intestinal lymphocytes were 2- to 47-fold higher (P < 0·001) compared with chickens given a non-supplemented diet. To determine the effect of CINN diets on avian coccidiosis, chickens were fed diets supplemented with CINN at 14·4 mg/kg (E. maxima or E. tenella) or 125 mg/kg (E. acervulina) from hatch for 24 d, and orally infected with 2·0 × 104 sporulated oocysts at age 14 d. CINN-fed chickens showed 16·5 and 41·6 % increased body-weight gains between 0–9 d post-infection (DPI) with E. acervulina or E. maxima, reduced E. acervulina oocyst shedding between 5–9 DPI and increased E. tenella-stimulated parasite antibody responses at 9 DPI compared with controls.

AB  - Background: Aging is associated with oxidative stress, but underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Objective: We tested whether glutathione deficiency occurs because of diminished synthesis and contributes to oxidative stress in aging and whether stimulating glutathione synthesis with its precursors cysteine and glycine could alleviate oxidative stress. Design: Eight elderly and 8 younger subjects received stable-isotope infusions of [2H2]glycine, after which red blood cell (RBC) glutathione synthesis and concentrations, plasma oxidative stress, and markers of oxidant damage (eg, F2-isoprostanes) were measured. Elderly subjects were restudied after 2 wk of glutathione precursor supplementation. Results: Compared with younger control subjects, elderly subjects had markedly lower RBC concentrations of glycine (486.7 ° 28.3 compared with 218.0 ° 23.7 μmol/L; P < 0.01), cysteine (26.2 ° 1.4 compared with 19.8 ° 1.3 μmol/L; P < 0.05), and glutathione (2.08 ° 0.12 compared with 1.12 ° 0.18 mmol/L RBCs; P < 0.05); lower glutathione fractional (83.14 ° 6.43% compared with 45.80 ° 5.69%/d; P < 0.01) and absolute (1.73 ° 0.16 compared with 0.55 ° 0.12 mmol/L RBCs per day; P < 0.01) synthesis rates; and higher plasma oxidative stress (304 ° 16 compared with 346 ° 20 Carratelli units; P < 0.05) and plasma F2-isoprostanes (97.7 ° 8.3 compared with 136.3 ° 11.3 pg/mL; P < 0.05). Precursor supplementation in elderly subjects led to a 94.6% higher glutathione concentration, a 78.8% higher fractional synthesis rate, a 230.9% higher absolute synthesis rate, and significantly lower plasma oxidative stress and F2-isoprostanes. No differences in these measures were observed between younger subjects and supplemented elderly subjects. Conclusions: Glutathione deficiency in elderly humans occurs because of a marked reduction in synthesis. Dietary supplementation with the glutathione precursors cysteine and glycine fully restores glutathione synthesis and concentrations and lowers levels of oxidative stress and oxidant damages. These findings suggest a practical and effective approach to decreasing oxidative stress in aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The effects of essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation during moderate steady state (ie, endurance) exercise on postexercise skeletal muscle metabolism are not well described, and the potential role of supplemental leucine on muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and associated molecular responses remains to be elucidated. Objective: This randomized crossover study examined whether EAA supplementation with 2 different concentrations of leucine affected post-steady state exercise MPS, whole-body protein turnover, and mammalian target of rapamycin 1 (mTORC1) intracellular signaling. Design: Eight adults completed 2 separate bouts of cycle ergometry [60 min, 60% VO2peak (peak oxygen uptake)]. Isonitrogenous (10 g EAA) drinks with different leucine contents [leucine-enriched (l)-EAA, 3.5 g leucine; EAA, 1.87 g leucine] were consumed during exercise. MPS and whole-body protein turnover were determined by using primed continuous infusions of [2H5]phenylalanine and [1-13C]leucine. Multiplex and immunoblot analyses were used to quantify mTORC1 signaling. Results: MPS was 33% greater (P < 0.05) after consumption of L-EAA (0.08 ° 0.01%/h) than after consumption of EAA (0.06 ° 0.01%/h). Whole-body protein breakdown and synthesis were lower (P < 0.05) and oxidation was greater (P < 0.05) after consumption of L-EAA than after consumption of EAA. Regardless of dietary treatment, multiplex analysis indicated that Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin phosphorylation were increased (P < 0.05) 30 min after exercise. Immunoblot analysis indicated that phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 and extracellular-signal regulated protein kinase increased (P < 0.05) and phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 decreased (P < 0.05) after exercise but was not affected by dietary treatment. Conclusion: These findings suggest that increasing the concentration of leucine in an EAA supplement consumed during steady state exercise elicits a greater MPS response during recovery.

AB  - Abstract: Flowering plants in agricultural landscapes can provide ecological services, such as nectar-provision for adult parasitic Hymenoptera. Various flowering native, introduced/established and cultivated potted plants were used to bait interception traps along the wooded margins of fields planted seasonally with either feed-corn or rye. Depending on circumstances, controls consisted of traps baited with the same species of plant without flowers, a pot/area without plants, or both. In most cases pots were rotated among trap-sites. Of the 19 plant species tested, 10 captured significantly more summed ichneumonoids and chalcidoids, seven more Braconidae, two more Ichneumonidae and six more Chalcidoidea than controls. Among Braconidae, traps baited with certain plants captured significantly more individuals of specific subfamilies. “Attractive” and “unattractive” plant species tended to cluster in a principal components vector space constructed from plant morphological characteristics (flower width, flower depth, flower density and plant height). Flower width and plant floral-area (flower width2 *flower density) were the variables that most often explained the variance in capture of the different parasitoid taxa. Our study identified particular plants that could be incorporated into regional conservation biological control programs to benefit parasitoid wasps In addition, the results indicate that morphological characteristics might help identify further suitable plant candidates for agricultural landscape modification.

AB  - Abstract: By expanding energy biomass production on marginal lands that are not currently used for crops, food prices increase and indirect climate change effects can be mitigated. Studies of the availability of marginal lands for dedicated bioenergy crops have focused on biophysical land traits, ignoring the human role in decisions to convert marginal land to bioenergy crops. Recent history offers insights about farmer willingness to put non-crop land into crop production. The 2006–09 leap in field crop prices and the attendant 64% gain in typical profitability led to only a 2% increase in crop planted area, mostly in the prairie states. At this rate, a doubling of expected profitability from biomass crops would expand cropland supply by only 3.2%. Yet targets for cellulosic ethanol production in the US Energy Independence and Security Act imply boosting US planted area by 10% or more with perennial biomass crops. Given landowner reluctance to expand crop area with familiar crops in the short run, large scale expansion of the area in dedicated bioenergy crops will likely be difficult and costly to achieve.

AB  - Abstract: Scrapie is a prion-associated transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of sheep and goats, and frequently serves as a comparative model for other prion diseases, such as chronic wasting disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. TSEs are unique neurologic disorders that do not appear to be accompanied by robust systemic immunologic responses. mRNA data suggest that cytokines are involved in scrapie progression. In this study, brain tissue, mesenteric lymph nodes, splenic tissue and serum from ovinized mice were screened for 62 cytokine and cytokine-related proteins at pre-clinical and clinical points of infection. Expression patterns were compared to brain histology and clinical presentation. Increased cytokine expression in the brain and periphery were noted in scrapie-positive animals before histologic changes or clinical signs were evident. Of the 62 proteins examined, only IL-10 and TIMP-1 were consistently expressed at increased levels in the serum throughout infection. These cytokines could suggest future targets for biomarkers of infection and may, as well, provide insight into the biologic dynamics of prion-associated neurologic diseases.

AB  - Abstract: Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) continues to pose a food safety hazard in ready-to-eat (RTE) meats due to potential cross-contamination. Chlorine is commonly used to sanitize processing equipment and utensils. However, Lm may survive the treatment and then contaminate food products. The objective of this study was to characterize the behavior of chlorine-exposed Lm on RTE ham during refrigerated storage. A two strain cocktail of Lm serotype 4b was pre-treated with chlorine (0, 25, and 50 ppm) for one hour, and then inoculated onto the surface of RTE ham to obtain an inoculum of about 3.0 log CFU/g. The inoculated ham samples were stored at 4, 8, and 16 °C, and Lm was enumerated periodically during the storage. The growth characteristics (lag time and growth rate) of Lm were estimated using the DMFit software. The results indicated that Lm growth was suppressed by the chlorine treatment. At 4 °C, the lag time of Lm with no (0 ppm) chlorine exposure (4.2 days) was shorter than those exposed to 25 ppm (5.4 days) and 50 ppm (6.8 days). The lag time decreased with the increase of temperature, e.g., at 25 ppm, the lag times were 5.2, 3.8 and 2.6 days for 4, 8 and 16 °C, respectively, and increased with the increase of chlorine concentration, e.g., at 16 °C, the lag times were 1.2, 2.6 and 4.0 days for 0, 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. However, growth rate increased with the increase of temperature and decreased with the increase of chlorine concentration. The lag time and growth rate as a function of chlorine concentration and temperature can be described using a modified Ratkowsky model and a modified Zwietering model, respectively. The results showed that the growth of Lm on RTE ham was delayed by pre-exposure to chlorine (at ≤50 ppm). The predictive models developed will contribute to microbial risk assessments of RTE meats.

AB  - The ability to develop evidence-based clinical guidance and effective programs and policies to achieve global health promotion and disease prevention goals depends on the availability of valid and reliable data. With specific regard to the role of food and nutrition in achieving those goals, relevant data are developed with the use of biomarkers that reflect nutrient exposure, status, and functional effect. A need exists to promote the discovery, development, and use of biomarkers across a range of applications. In addition, a process is needed to harmonize the global health community's decision making about what biomarkers are best suited for a given use under specific conditions and settings. To address these needs, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, US Department of Health and Human Services, organized a conference entitled "Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development: Building a Consensus," which was hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Partners included key multilateral, US agencies and public and private organizations. The assembly endorsed the utility of this initiative and the need for the BOND (Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development) project to continue. A consensus was reached on the requirement to develop a process to inform the community about the relative strengths or weaknesses and specific applications of various biomarkers under defined conditions. The articles in this supplement summarize the deliberations of the 4 working groups: research, clinical, policy, and programmatic. Also described are content presentations on the harmonization processes, the evidence base for biomarkers for 5 case-study micronutrients, and new frontiers in science and technology.

AB  - Background: Dietary fish-oil supplementation has been shown in human kinetic studies to lower the production rate of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, the major protein component of HDL. The underlying mechanism responsible for this effect is not fully understood. Objective: We investigated the effect and the mechanism of action of the very-long-chain n-3 (omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), relative to the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (PA), on the hepatic expression of apo A-I in HepG2 cells. Design: HepG2 cells were treated with different doses of DHA and PA (0-200 μmol/L). mRNA expression levels of apo A-I were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and apo A-I protein concentrations were measured by immunoassay. DHA dose-dependently suppressed apo A-I mRNA levels and also lowered apo A-I protein concentrations in the media, with maximum effects at 200 μmol/L. This concentration of fatty acids was used in all subsequent experiments. Results: To elucidate the mechanism mediating the reduction in apo A-I expression by DHA, transfection experiments were conducted with plasmid constructs containing serial deletions of the apo A-I promoter. The DHA-responsive region was mapped to the -185 to -148 nucleotide region of the apo A-I promoter, which binds the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3β. Nuclear extracts from cells treated with DHA or PA had a similar nuclear abundance of HNF-3β. However, electrophoresis mobility shift assays showed less binding of HNF-3β to the -180 to -140 sequence of the apo A-I promoter than did PA-treated cells. As shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, less HNF-3β was recruited to the apo A-I promoter in DHA-treated cells than in PA-treated cells, which supports the concept of an interference of DHA with the binding of HNF-3β to the apo A-I promoter. Conclusion: These findings suggest that, in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, DHA inhibits the binding of HNF-3β to the apo A-I promoter, resulting in the repression of apo A-I promoter transactivity and thus a reduction in apo A-I expression.

AB  - Background: The bioconversion efficiency of yellow maize β-carotene to retinol in humans is unknown. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the vitamin A value of yellow maize β-carotene in humans. Design: High β-carotene-containing yellow maize was grown in a hydroponic medium with 23 atom% 2H2O during grain development. Yellow maize β-carotene showed the highest abundance of enrichment as [2H9]β-carotene. Eight healthy Zimbabwean men volunteered for the study. On day 1 after a fasting blood draw, subjects consumed 300 g yellow maize porridge containing 1.2 mg β-carotene, 20 g butter, and a 0.5-g corn oil capsule. On day 8, fasting blood was drawn, and subjects consumed 1 mg [13C10]retinyl acetate in a 0.5-g corn oil capsule and 300 g white maize porridge with 20 g butter. Thirty-six blood samples were collected from each subject over 36 d. Concentrations and enrichments of retinol and β-carotene in labeled doses and serum were determined with the use of HPLC, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The area under the curve (AUC) of retinol from 1.2 mg yellow maize β-carotene was 72.9 nmol ∙ d, and the AUC of retinol from 1 mg retinyl acetate 13C10 was 161.1 nmol ∙ d. The conversion factor of yellow maize β-carotene to retinol by weight was 3.2 ± 1.5 to 1. Conclusion: In 8 healthy Zimbabwean men, 300 g cooked yellow maize containing 1.2 mg β-carotene that was consumed with 20.5 g fat showed the same vitamin A activity as 0.38 mg retinol and provided 40-50% of the adult vitamin A Recommended Dietary Allowance. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00636038. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: A suboptimal vitamin D and calcium status has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes in observational studies, but evidence from trials is lacking. Objective: We determined whether vitamin D supplementation, with or without calcium, improved glucose homeostasis in adults at high risk of diabetes. Design: Ninety-two adults were randomly assigned in a 2-by-2 factorial-design, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial to receive either cholecalciferol (2000 IU once daily) or calcium carbonate (400 mg twice daily) for 16 wk. The primary outcome was the change in pancreatic β cell function as measured by the disposition index after an intravenous-glucose-tolerance test. Other outcomes were acute insulin response, insulin sensitivity, and measures of glycemia. Results: Participants had a mean age of 57 y, a body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) of 32, and glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) of 5.9%. There was no significant vitamin D × calcium interaction on any outcomes. The disposition index increased in the vitamin D group and decreased in the no-vitamin D group (adjusted mean change ± SE: 300 ± 130 compared with -126 ± 127, respectively; P = 0.011), which was explained by an improvement in insulin secretion (62 ± 39 compared with -36 ± 37 mU ∙ L-1 ∙ min, respectively; P = 0.046). Hb A1c increased less, but nonsignificantly, in the vitamin D group than in the no-vitamin D group (0.06 ± 0.03% compared with 0.14 ± 0.03%, respectively; P = 0.081). There was no significant difference in any outcomes with calcium compared with no calcium. Conclusion: In adults at risk of type 2 diabetes, short-term supplementation with cholecalciferol improved β cell function and had a marginal effect on attenuating the rise in Hb A1c. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00436475. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within intensively managed landscapes, stand establishment relies on combinations of mechanical and chemical site preparation and herbaceous weed control (HWC) to manage competing vegetation and increase pine production. However, few long-term studies have described relationships between intensity of stand establishment and effects on plant communities. Therefore, we examined effects of 6 treatments that varied in intensity via combinations of mechanical (wide spacing and strip shear or narrow spacing and roller chop) and chemical (application or no application) site preparation treatments with HWC (broadcast or banded) from 1 to 8years after site preparation on plant communities in loblolly pine plantations (n =6) in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, USA. All treatments resulted in abundant and diverse plant communities. Chemical site preparation had short lived (⩽4year) effects on the herbaceous community but long-term effects on woody plants and pine cover. Increasing management intensity by including broadcast HWC or roller chop/narrow spacing did not additively reduce woody vegetation cover or species richness. However, broadcast HWC reduced grass, vine, and forb cover in the first year post-treatment. Average Morista community similarity values ranged from 0.69 to 0.89 among treatments and plots receiving the same chemical site preparation contained the most similar plant communities. Banded HWC can be paired with wide spacing to maximize herbaceous plant growth important for many wildlife species, particularly in the first few years after site preparation. Site preparation techniques should be tailored to local site conditions, plant communities, and management objectives. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The pedostructure concept characterizes a soil based upon soil structural properties to predict soil–water behavior. The goal of this work was to determine the impact of land management on the measured pedostructure parameters, the quantitative soil structural properties used for modeling soil–water behavior. Soil samples (fine, illitic, mesic, Aquic Hapludalfs and fine, illitic, mesic, Aeric Epiaqualfs) were taken in May 2007 from DeKalb County in northeastern Indiana. The ideal pedostructure parameters were extracted from the continuously measured shrinkage and potential curves from the surface and diagnostic subsurface horizons of two soil series, differing slightly in drainage characteristics, one soil under no-tillage and the other under rotational tillage. Additionally, the pedostructure parameters were estimated from measured and estimated soil physical properties. Three of the seven pedostructure parameters: Wm (saturated micropore water content), Kbs (micropore linear shrinkage rate), and Vo (soil specific volume at the oven-dry state) were significantly different due to the tillage treatment, while none of the parameters exhibited any significant differences due to depth. Vo also showed a significant interaction between tillage and depth, as the rotational tillage subsurface samples had much lower values than other combinations of tillage and depth. Overall, no-tillage exhibits a larger amount of micropores, as evidenced by the higher Wm value, as well as a more strongly structured micropore system, as seen in the lower Kbs, compared to rotational tillage. However, no significant differences exist when estimating the pedostructure parameters from measured and estimated soil physical properties. No significant differences were found for the macropore parameters. These results are unexpected, as it was believed that the no-tillage treatment would affect the macropore, and not the micropore, parameters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Switzerland has been officially free of bovine tuberculosis (OTF) since 1960. Since 1980 the control of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has been reduced to passive abattoir surveillance. Isolated cases of bTB, partly due to reactivation of human Mycobacterium bovis infections with subsequent transmission to cattle, have been noticed in the last years. In Europe, the overall prevalence of bTB is slightly increasing. Both OTF and non-OTF countries report increases in the proportion of bTB positive cattle herds. Current bTB eradication and control programs in Europe are facing a range of challenges. Whole herd depopulation is becoming a less attractive option for economic reasons and due to animal welfare concerns. Live animal trade is increasing both at national and international levels. Regarding these tendencies and taking into account the chronicity of bTB infection, pre-movement testing is becoming increasingly important as a central tool for eradication and for protection against re-introduction of bTB. Pre-movement testing, however specifically focuses on the infection status in individuals, requiring a high level of diagnostic accuracy to correctly diagnose infected animals. Current screening tests for bTB, however, have been designed to meet demands as herd tests. This illustrates that the modification of existing and/or the development of new diagnostics for bTB might be needed. The tuberculin skin test (TST), the primary screening test for bTB may in certain situations have low sensitivity. The interferon gamma (IFN-γ) assay is accepted to be more sensitive compared to TST. Reduced specificity, however, especially in areas of low bTB prevalence raises concerns. New antigen combinations including Rv3615c, OmpATb and others have been shown to complement ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in the whole blood IFN-γ assay and resulted in improved sensitivity (compared to ESAT-6 and CFP-10) and specificity (compared to tuberculins). Lesion detection after slaughter represents a cost-effective procedure for passive surveillance of bTB, especially in areas of low prevalence or in regions free of bTB; however, its sensitivity is very low. This illustrates that trade is linked with a certain risk to re-introduce bTB in OTF regions or countries and that there may be delays in detecting a re-introduction of bTB. In conclusion, regarding the fact that some parameters linked with bTB programs are changing, the development of improved diagnostic tests with a high reliability for use as individual animal tests will be important for future eradication of bTB, in line with international commitment to high standard animal health programs.

AB  - Abstract: Biomass pretreatment is essential to overcome recalcitrance of lignocellulose for ethanol production. In the present study we pretreated giant reed (Arundo donax L.), a perennial, rhizomatous lignocellulosic grass with dilute oxalic acid. The effects of temperature (170–190 °C), acid loading (2–10% w/w) and reaction time (15–40 min) were handled as a single parameter, combined severity. We explored the change in hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin composition following pretreatment and glucan conversion after enzymatic hydrolysis of the solid residue. Two different yeast strains, Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitis CBS 6054, which is a native xylose and cellobiose fermenter, and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis FPL-450, which does not ferment xylose or cellobiose, were used along with commercial cellulolytic enzymes in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). S. carlsbergensis attained a maximum ethanol concentration of 15.9 g/l after 48 h at pH 5.0, while S. stipitis, at the same condition, took 96 h to reach a similar ethanol value; increasing the pH to 6.0 reduced the S. stipitis lag phase and attained 18.0 g/l of ethanol within 72 h.

AB  - Background: Folic acid (PA) fortification of food created the need to determine whether fortification elevated concentrations of unmetabolized FA in plasma and whether this form of the vitamin in blood is associated with adverse health outcomes. Objective: The objective of this research was to devise a simple, rapid method for the measurement of unmetabolized plasma FA in epidemiologic studies. Design: We previously used the affinity/HPLC with electrochemical detection method to measure folate distribution in human plasma and red blood cells (RBCs). We modified this method with the inclusion of synthetic ethyltetrahydrofolate as an internal standard and with the use of 2 affinity columns connected in parallel to the analytic column through a switching valve to allow one column to be loaded while the other column was eluted into the analytic column. Results: We identified PA and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-mTHF) by retention time and characteristic response across the channels of the electrochemical detector. Limits of detection were 0.034 pmol for 5-mTHF and 0.027 pmol for PA per injection, and the recovery was 92.2% (5-mTHF) and 98.9% (FA). CVs for samples were 8.1% (within day) and 6.8% (between day) for 5-mTHF and 3.2% (within day) and 5.9% (between day) for PA. Total folate with the use of this method correlated highly (r2 = 0.98, P < 0.001) with values from the microbial assay. The run time for the method was 30 min per sample. Researchers can use this method with longer run times to measure the distribution of folate forms in RBCs. Conclusion: This updated method allows efficient analysis of folate forms in human plasma and tissues without the loss of sensitivity or precision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A roundtable to discuss the measurement of vitamin B- 12 (cobalamin) status hiomarkers in NHANES took place in July 2010. NHANES stopped measuring vitamin B-l2-related biomarkers after 2006. The roundtable reviewed 3 biomarkers of vitamin B-I 2 status used in past NHANES—serum vitamin B-12, methylnialonic acid (MMA), and total homocysteine (tHcy)—and discussed the potential utility of measuring holotranscobalamin (holoTC) for future NHANES. The roundtable focused on public health considerations and the quality of the measurement procedures and reference methods and materials that past NHANES used or that are available for future NHANES. Roundtable members supported reinstating vitamin B-12 status measures in NHANES. They noted evolving concerns and uncertainties regarding whether subclinical (mild, asymptomatic) vitamin B-12 deficiency is a public health concern. They identified the need for evidence from clinical trials to address causal relations between subclinical vitamin B-12 deficiency and adverse health outcomes as well as appropriate cutoffs for interpreting vitamin B- 12—related biomarkers. They agreed that problems with sensitivity and specificity of individual biomarkers underscore the need for including at least one biomarker of circulating vitamin B-l2 (serum vitamin B-12 or hoand one functional biomarker (MMA or tHcy) in NHANES. The inclusion of both serum vitamin B-l2 and plasma MMA, which have been associated with cognitive dysfunction and anemia in NHANES and in other population-based studies, was preferable to provide continuity with past NHANES. Reliable measurement procedures are available, and National Institute of Standards and Technology reference materials are available or in development for serum vitamin B- 2 and MMA.

AB  - A roundtable to discuss the measurement of folate status blo- markers in NHANES took place in July 2010. NHANES has measured serum folate since 1974 and red blood cell (RBC) folate since 1978 with the use of several different measurement procedures. Data on serum 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) and folic acid (FA) concentrations in persons aged ⩾60 y are available in NHANES 1999-2002. The roundtable reviewed data that showed that folate concentrations from the Bio-Rad Quantaphase IT procedure (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA; used in NHANES 1991-1994 and NHANES 1999-2006) were, on average, 29% lower for serum and 45% lower for RBC than were those from the microbiological assay (MA), which was used in NHANES 2007-2010. Round- table experts agreed that these differences required a data adjust- ment for time-trend analyses. The roundtable reviewed the possible use of an isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroinetry (LC-MSIMS) measurement procedure for future NHANES and agreed that the close agreement between the MA and LC-MS/MS results for serum folate supported conversion to the LC-MS/MS procedure. However, for RBC folate, the MA gave 25% higher concentrations than did the LC-MS/MS procedure. The roundtabagreed that the use of the LC-MS/MS procedure to measure RBC folate is premature at this time. The roundtable reviewed the reference materials available or under devel- opment at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and recognized the challenges related to, and the scientific need for, these materials. They noted the need for a commutability study for the available reference materials for serum 5MTHF and FA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Self-perceived lactose intolerance may result in adverse dietary modifications: thus, more studies are needed to understand the prevalence of self-perceived lactose intolerance and how it relates to calcium intake and selected health conditions. Objective: The objective was to examine the effects of self- perceived lactose intolerance as it relates to calcium intake and specific health problems that have been attributed to reduced intakes of calcium and dairy foods in a nationally representative multiethnic sample of adults. Design: This was a cross-sectional study in a national sample of 3452 adults. The relation between self-perceived lactose intolerance, calcium intakes, and physician-diagnosed health conditions was analyzed by using linear regression analyses. Results: Of the total sample, 12.3% of respondents perceived themselves to be lactose intolerant. The age-adjusted prevalence of self- perceived lactose intolerance was 7.8% for non-Hispanic whites, 20.1% for non-Hispanic blacks, and 8.8% for Hispanics. Respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance had significantly lower (P < 0.05) average daily calcium intakes from dairy foods than did those without self-perceived lactose intolerance. A significantly higher (P < 0.05) percentage of respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance than of respondents without self-perceived lactose intolerance reported having physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension. The odds of self-reported physician-diagnosed diabetes or hypertension decreased by factors of 0.70 and 0.60, respectively, for a 1000-mg increase in calcium intake from dairy foods per day. Conclusions: Self-perceived lactose-intolerant respondents had a significantly lower calcium intake from dairy foods and reported having a significantly higher rate of physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension.

T1  - Whole-body and muscle protein metabolism are not affected by acute deviations from habitual protein intake in older men: the Hormonal Regulators of Muscle and Metabolism in Aging (HORMA) Study.

AB  - Background: Acute deviations in protein intake before the quantification of protein kinetics in older humans may explain the controversy over the effects of older age on muscle protein synthesis and proteolysis rates. Objective: We hypothesized that an acute decrease in protein intake from the habitual intake is associated with lower muscle protein synthesis and higher proteolysis rates, whereas an acute increase in protein intake from the habitual intake is associated with higher muscle protein synthesis and lower proteolysis rates. Design: In 112 community-dwelling healthy men aged 65-90 y, we quantified resting whole-body F1,2-3C2]leucine kinetics, muscle mixed protein fractional synthesis rates (FSRs), and muscle protea-some proteolytic enzyme activities after participants consumed for 3 d controlled research meals (0.9-1.1 g protein ·kg-1 ·d-1) that contained more or less protein than that habitually consumed and that induced alterations in nitrogen balance. Results: Protein kinetic parameters were not significantly different between the groups, despite controlled research protein intakes that were lower (-0.2 to -0.3 g kg-1 ·d-1) or higher (+0.2 g · kg-1d-1) than habitual intakes and that induced negative (-22 to -25 mg · kg-1 d-1) or positive (22-25 mg · kg-1· d-1) nitrogen balance. Within these acutely altered protein intake and nitrogen balance boundaries, a reduction in protein intake from habitual in- take and induction of negative nitrogen balance were not associated with higher proteolysis or lower muscle FSR, and an acute increase in protein intake from habitual intake and induction of positive nitrogen balance were not associated with lower proteolysis or higher muscle FSR. A higher quantitative insulin sensitivity check index was associated with lower whole-body proteolysis rates. Conclusions: The practice of acutely controlling protein intake, even at intakes lower than habitual intakes that induce negative nitrogen balance, before quantifying human protein kinetics does not significantly reduce muscle protein synthesis or increase proteolysis. Factors other than protein intake explain lower muscle protein synthesis rates with advanced age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Metabolic responses to prolonged consumption of glucose- and fructose-sweetened beverages are not associated with postprandial or 24-h glucose and insulin excursions.

AB  - Background: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been shown to be associated with dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, fatty liver, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It has been proposed that adverse metabolic effects of chronic consumption of sugar- sweetened beverages are a consequence of increased circulating glucose and insulin excursions, ie, dietary glycemic index (UI). Objective: We determined whether the greater adverse effects of fructose than of glucose consumption were associated with glucose and insulin exposures. Design: The subjects were studied in a metabolic facility and consumed energy-balanced diets containing 55% of energy as complex carbohydrate for 2 wk (GI = 64). The subjects then consumed 25% of energy requirements as fructose- or glucose-sweetened beverages along with their usual ad libitudiets for 8 wk at home and then as part of energy-balanced diets for 2 wk at the metabolic facility (fructose GI = 38, glucose GI = 83). The 24-h glucose and insulin profiles and fasting plasma glycated albumin and fructosamine concentrations were measured 0, 2, 8, and 10 wk after beverage consumption. Results: Consumption of fructose-sweetened beverages lowered glucose and insulin postmeal peaks and the 23-h area under the curve compared with the baseline diet and with the consumption of glucose-sweetened beverages (all P < 0.001, effect of sugar). Plasma glycated albumin concentrations were lower 10 wk after fructose than after glucose consumption (P <0.01, effect of sugar), whereas fructosarnine concentrations did not differ between groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that the specific effects of fructose, but not of glucose and insulin excursions, contribute to the adverse effects of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages on lipids and insulin sensitivity.

AB  - Background: Phenylbutyrate is a drug used in patients with urea cycle disorder to elicit alternative pathways for nitrogen disposal. However, phenylbutyrate administration decreases plasma branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations, and previous research suggests that phenylbutyrate administration may increase leucine oxidation, which would indicate increased protein degradation and net protein loss. Objective: We investigated the effects of phenylbutyrate administration on whole-body protein metabolism, glutamine, leucine, and urea kinetics in healthy and ornithine transcarbamylase-deficient (OTCD) subjects and the possible benefits of BCAA supplementation during phenylbutyrate therapy. Design: Seven healthy control and 7 partial-OTCD subjects received either phenylbutyrate or no treatment in a crossover design. In addition, the partial-OTCD and 3 null-OTCD subjects received phenylbutyrate and phenylbutyrate plus BCAA supplementation. A multitracer protocol was used to determine the whole-body fluxes of urea and amino acids of interest. Results: Phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis by ≈15% without affecting the fluxes of leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, or glutamine and the oxidation of leucine or phenylalanine. The transfer of 15N from glutamine to urea was reduced by 35%. However, a reduction in plasma concentrations of BCAAs due to phenylbutyrate treatment was observed. BCAA supplementation did not alter the respective baseline fluxes. Conclusions: Prolonged phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis and the transfer of 15N from glutamine to urea without parallel reductions in glutamine flux and concentration. There were no changes in total-body protein breakdown and amino acid catabolism, which suggests that phenylbutyrate can be used to dispose of nitrogen effectively without adverse effects on body protein economy.

AB  - Germination of Styrax japonicus seeds is promoted by warm stratification (WS) at 18-20°C followed by cold stratification (CS) at 4-5°. The objective of this work was to analyze the state and mobility of water molecules measured by H-NMR and endogenous gibberellins (GAs) and abscisic acid (ABA) by ultra performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) as influenced by WS and CS treatments had not previously been investigated. Styrax seeds that received 35 days of WS (35D WS) followed by 63 days of CS (63D CS) (35D WS + 63D CS) germinated. Seeds that received only 35D WS failed to germinate. Endogenous GA, GA, GA, GA, and GA were identified as well as GA, GA, GA, GA, and GA by gas chromatography/MS (GC/MS) and UPLC-MS/MS in seeds that were treated with warm and cold stratification (WS + CS). This suggests that the early C-13 hydroxylation pathway [-GA-(GA)-GA-GA-GA-GA] of GAs is a major biosynthetic pathway in the seeds. The concentration of GA and GA increased following WS and that of GA increased after WS + CS. The concentration of GA increased only slightly after WS + CS. The concentration of GA increased only after WS + CS. ABA concentration significantly decreased following the WS treatment. It is concluded that the mobility of water molecules and water content in cotyledons and endosperm is increased following WS + CS treatments. The occurrence of C-13 hydroxylated GAs suggests that the early C-13 hydroxylation pathway, → GA → GA → GA → GA → GA → GA, is a major biosynthetic pathway in Styrax seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cereal fibre and whole-grain intakes have been consistently associated in the epidemiological literature with reduced mortality and risk of chronic disease including obesity, CVD and type 2 diabetes. The present review focuses on intervention trials with three primary aims: (1) understanding the mechanisms through which fibre consumption improves health (for example, examination of intermediate endpoints reflecting improved lipid, glucose and energy metabolism); (2) close evaluation of qualitative factors which modify fibre's effectiveness including physiochemical properties (for example, solubility, fermentability and viscosity), fibre extract molecular weight, fibre particle size and botanical structure of the fibre source grain; and (3) identification of areas in which additional research is needed. The first two aims typify the goals of nutrition research, in that improved understanding of the specific factors which determine fibre's health benefits has critical implications for dietary recommendations as well as improving understanding of physiological mechanisms. The third aim acknowledges the substantial gap between recommended and actual fibre intakes in many developed countries including the USA and the UK. In recognition of this deficit in total fibre intake, food manufacturing processes increasingly utilise fibre extracts and concentrates as food additives. However, whether fibre extracts provide similar health benefits to the fibre supplied in the constituents of whole grain is largely unexplored. The relative benefits of fibre extracts compared with whole-grain fibre sources therefore represent a critical area in which additional research is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: The Codex Alimentarius provides the food standards and guidelines recognized by the World Trade Organization as the primary authority for use in settlement of related trade disputes. Codex bases its decisions primarily on scientific principles and evidence, although other legitimate factors such as economic and societal values may be considered. Codex has two primary aims: to protect consumers’ health and assure fair practices in food trade. Codex documents may provide templates for individual nations but are not binding for domestic policies. Despite many advances over the last couple of decades, misunderstandings and controversies have interfered with important aspects of progress which Codex needs to accomplish, especially in the areas of claims of benefits related to food or nutrient consumption and the establishment of the safety of these items. Claims for health benefits should be based on the totality of available scientific evidence, including observational data collected from large populations as well as the results from randomized clinical trials. Safety should be evaluated by risk assessment on high quality experimental data, with anecdotal information having a lesser role. Regulatory policy would be improved if “history of safe use” were to be better defined and described. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Small, low molecular weight, non-enzymatic compounds have been linked to the early stages of brown rot decay as the enzymes involved with holocellulose degradation are too large to penetrate the S3 layer of intact wood cells. We investigated the most notable of these compounds, i.e. hydrogen peroxide, iron, and oxalic acid. The former two are involved in the Fenton reaction in which they react to form hydroxyl radicals, which cause an accelerated depolymerization in cotton cellulose. We found the same reaction to be caused by both iron Fe3+ and Fe2+. A 10 mM oxalic acid solution showed significant depolymerization effect on cotton cellulose. An oxalic acid/sodium oxalate buffered pH gradient had an inhibitory effect on the reduction of cellulose polymers at increased pH values. The organic iron chelator, EDTA, was found to promote depolymerization of cellulose in combination with Fenton’s reagents, but inhibited the effect of oxalic acid in the absence of iron and hydrogen peroxide. Manganese was tested to see if metals other than iron could generate a significant impact on the degree of polymerization (DP) in cotton cellulose. Depolymerizing properties comparable to iron were seen. The results confirm that low molecular weight metabolites are capable of depolymerizing cellulose and suggest an importance of these mechanisms during incipient decay by brown rot fungi.

T1  - Establishment and growth of container seedlings for reforestation: A function of stocktype and edaphic conditions

AB  - Abstract: A properly selected stocktype can greatly enhance reforestation success through increased survival and growth following outplanting. Implementing a robust stocktype trial using stocktypes of equal quality can ensure results lead to the best choice. Six container types, differing primarily in depth and volume, were used to evaluate the performance of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws. var. ponderosa) seedlings outplanted on two sites that varied in volumetric soil moisture content (θ), average temperature, and total precipitation (mesic and xeric). Seedlings in each container type were cultured specifically to achieve uniform seedling quality. After two growing seasons, seedlings planted at the mesic site showed high survival (>99%) and incremental growth gains of 147, 100, and 794% for height, root-collar diameter (RCD), and stem volume, respectively; container types exhibited differences in total height, RCD, and stem volume with larger containers generally yielding the largest seedlings. Seedlings planted at the xeric site experienced 83% survival, smaller growth gains (25, 46, and 220% for height, RCD, and stem volume, respectively), and also exhibited differences in height, RCD, and stem volume. Regression analysis revealed that for each site, initial seedling morphological characteristics were better at predicting absolute height, RCD and stem volume after the first year than after the second year, with initial seedling height offering the best predictive power (R 2 =0.66, mesic site; and R 2 =0.70, xeric site). Second-year absolute growth prediction was poorest on the mesic site (R 2 <0.21). Regression analysis indicates that initial seedling characteristics lost predictive value with time, especially on the mesic site, as seedlings grew out of their initial, container-induced characteristics and become more limited by current environmental and genetic factors. Conversely, on a xeric site, where absolute growth was reduced, traits determined by the container type persisted longer. Selecting stocktypes for mesic site conditions may only be limited by the minimum growth gains desired. Conversely, xeric sites may benefit from deep-planted quality seedlings or carefully planted long-rooted, large container seedlings. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: For genetic analysis of the genus Allium, which is composed of diverse species, we acquired 50 transferable and polymorphic microsatellite markers from A. sativum and tested them for transferability in five Allium species. Among the 50 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, the dinucleotide motif was the most prevalent, with a ratio of 50% (25/50), and (GT)n was more frequent than (GA)n within the dinucleotide motif. The average number of amplified alleles ranged from 1.452 to 1.910 and the accessions of A. tuberosum had a maximum of 4.8 alleles per accession with the GB-AS-104 SSR marker. Whereas A. porrum belonging to the Allium section revealed 73.0% transferability, A. altaicum and A. fistulosum appertaining to different sections showed low transferability, with a ratio of 47.6% and 48.0%, respectively. The phylogenetic results for these SSR markers did not deviate from previous classifications of the genus Allium. As the rate of successful amplification of SSR markers generally correlates with genetic distance, these SSR markers are potentially useful in the analysis of genetic relationships between or within Allium species.

AB  - The article evaluates the potential of using extractable lipofuscin as a method for determining age in the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis. Size is shown to be a poor predictor of age due to variability in individual growth rates and molting frequency. Growth rate was demonstrated to vary spatially in populations in Oregon and Washington estuaries due to environmental factors such as population density and food availability. The negative impact of N. californiensis on oyster aquaculture in Pacific Northwest estuaries is addressed. Implications for developing an integrated pest control plan for N. californiensis are also discussed.

AB  - African Americans have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and some forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than do European Americans. African Americans also have much higher rates of vitamin D deficiency. There is emerging evidence that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for hypertension, T2D, and CVD, but the extent to which racial disparities in disease rates are explained by racial differences in vitamin D status is uncertain. Despite a large number of observational studies and a limited number of clinical trials that examined 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations as a potential determinant of CVD and T2D or its precursors, it remains uncertain whether improving vitamin D status would reduce risk of these conditions in the general US population or in African Americans specifically. However, if the associations reported from the observational studies are of the estimated magnitudes and causal, vitamin D supplementation could potentially have a strong preventive effect on some of these conditions and could reduce race-related disparities in their prevalence. Because of the low 25(OH)D concentrations of many, if not most, African Americans, and the low risk associated with vitamin D supplementation, it is important to obtain more definitive answers to these questions.

AB  - Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids and fish may influence bone health. Objective: We aimed to examine associations between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid and fish intakes and hip bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline (1988-1989; n = 854) and changes 4 y later in adults (n = 623) with a mean age of 75 y in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. Design: BMD measures were regressed on energy-adjusted quartiles of fatty acid intakes [n-3 (omega-3): a-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and EPA+ DHA; n-6 (omega-6): linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA); and n-6:n-3 ratio] and on categorized fish intakes, with adjustment for covariates. Effect modification by EPA+DHA intake was tested for n-6 exposures. Results: High intakes (&3x2265;3 servings/wk) of fish relative to lower intakes were associated with maintenance of femoral neck BMD (FN-BMD) in men (dark fish + tuna, dark fish, and tuna) and in women (dark fish) (P < 0.05). Significant interactions between AA and EPA+DHA intakes were observed cross-sectionally in women and longitudinally in men. In women with EPA+DHA intakes at or above the median, those with the highest AA intakes had a higher mean baseline FN-BMD than did those with the lowest intakes (quartile 4 compared with quartile 1: P = 0.03, P for trend = 0.02). In men with the lowest EPA+DHA intakes (quartile 1), those with the highest intakes of AA (quartile 4) lost more FN-BMD than did men with the lowest intakes of AA (quartile 1; P = 0.04). LA intake tended to be associated with FN-BMD loss in women (P for trend < 0.06). Conclusions: Fish consumption may protect against bone loss. The protective effects of a high AA intake may be dependent on the amount of EPA+DHA intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Cranberry juice contains polyphenolic compounds that could improve endothelial function and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Objective: The objective was to examine the effects of cranberry juice on vascular function in subjects with coronary artery disease. Design: We completed an acute pilot study with no placebo (n = 15) and a chronic placebo-controlled crossover study (n = 44) that examined the effects of cranberry juice on vascular function in subjects with coronary artery disease. Results: In the chronic crossover study, subjects with coronary heart disease consumed a research preparation of double-strength cranberry juice (54% juice, 835 mg total polyphenols, and 94 mg anthocyanins) or a matched placebo beverage (480 mL/d) for 4 wk each with a 2-wk rest period between beverages. Beverage order was randomly assigned, and participants refrained from consuming other flavonoid-containing beverages during the study. Vascular function was measured before and after each beverage, with follow-up testing =12 h after consumption of the last beverage. Mean (±SD) carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, a measure of central aortic stiffness, decreased after cranberry juice (8.3 ± 2.3 to 7.8 ± 2.2 m/s) in contrast with an increase after placebo (8.0 ± 2.0 to 8.4 ± 2.8 m/s) (P = 0.003). Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, digital pulse amplitude tonometry, blood pressure, and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity did not change. In the uncontrolled pilot study, we observed improved brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (7.7 ± 2.9% to 8.7 ± 3.1%, P = 0.01) and digital pulse amplitude tonometry ratio (0.10 ± 0.12 to 0.23 ± 0.16, P = 0.001) 4 h after consumption of a single 480-mL portion of cranberry juice. Conclusions: Chronic cranberry juice consumption reduced carotid femoral pulse wave velocity—a clinically relevant measure of arterial stiffness. The uncontrolled pilot study suggested an acute benefit; however, no chronic effect on measures of endothelial vasodilator function was found. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00553904 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Quantifying long-term effects of soil erosion on plant production and soil quality can aid in restoring degraded soils. The objectives of this study were to determine the long-term effects of topsoil removal on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield and soil productivity factors. In 1982, the surface 0, 6, 12, and 18 cm of topsoil was mechanically removed from a Williams loam (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Argiustoll) and subsequently cropped. Soil samples were collected in 1998. There was no difference in soil organic matter (SOM), particulate organic matter (POM), mineralizable N, or water stable soil aggregates (WSA) in the surface 15 cm. Though not significant, there was an average increase of 1.2 g SOM kg-1 soil from the surface 15 cm since 1982, but fungal and bacterial biomass was reduced. The SOM and POM increased in the surface 15 cm of soil where grass was planted in strips between plots. Topsoil removal did not affect soil water at planting nor wheat yields from 1998-2001. The use of commercial fertilizer maintained crop yields, but SOM remained unchanged indicating that, restoring erosion damage is unlikely with a conventionally tilled wheat-fallow rotation in semi-arid regions.

AB  - Abstract: A group of low molecular-weight ColE1-like plasmids carrying the aph sequence type aph(ii) from three different Salmonella serovars were sequenced. These plasmids carry two or more copies of IS903 elements, with up to 21bp sequence differences to one another, two of which flank the aph gene. This group of plasmids did not appear to carry any known mobilization genes and instead carry three open reading frames encoding hypothetical proteins of unknown function possibly organized in an operon. The plasmid replication region (RNA I/II –rom) of this plasmid group showed extensive homology to that of pKPN2 plasmid of Klebsiella pneumoniae and pCol-let plasmid of Escherichia coli. Three of the four plasmids had identical sequences, and the fourth had an extra copy of IS903 with target duplication, suggesting a recent divergence in the different Salmonella serovars from a common ancestor.

AB  - Abstract: Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is formed in glyphosate-treated glyphosate-resistant (GR) and glyphosate-sensitive (GS) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants and is known to cause yellowing in soybean. Although, AMPA is less phytotoxic than glyphosate, its mode of action is different from that of glyphosate and is still unknown. Greenhouse studies were conducted at Stoneville, MS to determine the effects of AMPA on plant growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, nodulation, nitrogenase activity, nitrate reductase activity, and shoot nitrogen content in GR and GS soybeans. AMPA was applied to one- to two-trifoliolate leaf stage soybeans at 0.1 and 1.0kgha−1, representing a scenario of 10% and 100% degradation of glyphosate (1.0kgaeha−1 use rate) to AMPA, respectively. Overall, AMPA effects were more pronounced at 1.0kgha−1 than at 0.1kgha−1 rate. Visual plant injury (18–27%) was observed on young leaves within 3d after treatment (DAT) with AMPA at the higher rate regardless of soybean type. AMPA injury peaked to 46–49% at 14 DAT and decreased to 17–18% by 28 DAT, in both soybean types. AMPA reduced the chlorophyll content by 37%, 48%, 66%, and 23% in GR soybean, and 17%, 48%, 57%, and 22% in GS soybean at 3, 7, 14, and 28 DAT, respectively. AMPA reduced the photosynthesis rate by 65%, 85%, and 77% in GR soybean and 59%, 88%, and 69% in GS soybean at 3, 7, and 14 DAT, respectively, compared to non-treated plants. Similarly, AMPA reduced stomatal conductance to water vapor and transpiration rates at 3, 7, and 14 DAT compared to non-treated plants in both soybean types. Photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate recovered to the levels of non-treated plants by 28 DAT. Plant height and shoot dry weight at 28 DAT; nodulation, nitrogenase activity at 10 DAT, and nitrate reductase activity at 3 and 14 DAT were unaffected by AMPA. AMPA reduced root respiration and shoot nitrogen content at 10 DAT. These results suggest that a foliar application of AMPA could indirectly reduce photosynthesis through decreased chlorophyll content in GR and GS soybean up to 14 DAT, but affected plants can recover to normal growth by 28 DAT.

AB  - Abstract: The current study focuses on the analysis of sessile-drop interfacial reactions between two synthetic slags (based on average ash chemistries of coal and petcoke feedstock) and two refractory materials (90wt% Cr2O3–10wt% Al2O3 and 100wt% Al2O3), using a Confocal Scanning Laser Microscope (CSLM). Ground slag samples (less than 325 mesh) were placed at specific microstructure locations on refractory substrates and heated to 1500°C in an atmosphere of CO/CO2 gas mixture (volume ratio=1.8), using a gold-image heating chamber. Cross-sections of the slag/refractory interface indicated unique slag penetration into preferred areas of the refractory and grain dissolution into the slag which promoted spalling of the refractory. Initially, the slag attacked both grain boundaries and fine microstructure areas, freeing alumina grains into the slag. The formation of VOx-based crystalline material in the petcoke slag was found to alter the liquid composition. Chemical spalling of Cr-containing crystal layer also facilitated degradation of the refractory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Considerable epidemiologic evidence links consuming lower glycemic index (GI) diets with good health, particularly upon aging. The GI is a kinetic parameter that reflects the ability of carbohydrate (CHO) contained in consumed foods to raise blood glucose in vivo. Newer nutritional, clinical, and experimental data link intake of lower dietary GI foods to favorable outcomes of chronic diseases, and compel further examination of the record. Based upon the new information there are two specific questions: 1) should the GI concept be promoted as a way to prolong health, and 2) should food labels contain GI information? Further, what are the remaining concerns about methodological issues and consistency of epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets? These issues are addressed in this review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study was performed to investigate the species relationships and variation of Lycoris Herb. (Amaryllidaceae) species using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Also, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of internal transcribed spacer 1, 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene and internal transcribed spacer 2 regions in Lycoris sanguinea var. koreana were analyzed. All accessions formed 6 major clusters; cluster A with all L. sanguinea and L. chejuensis; cluster B with 3 accessions of L. flavescens; cluster C with 8 accessions of F. flavescens var. flavescens; cluster D with 10 accessions of L. uydoensis; cluster E with L. chinensis var. sinuolata and 4 accessions of L. uydoensis; and cluster F with all L. radiata. Five haplotypes were observed; L. sanguinea and L. chejuensis having the haplotype 1 with bases of CTTATATATAT; L. chinensis var. sinuolata and all L. flavescens. Lycoris incarnata and L. aurea, non-endemic to Korea had haplotype 2 and 5, respectively. Genetic variations in L. flavescens, L. chinensis var. sinuolata, and L. uydoensis are revealed based on the analysis of molecular variances (AMOVA) and haploid types analyzed by sequence analysis. It is suggested that L. chejuensis may result from hybridization involving L. sanguinea var. koreana due to a close affinity between L. sanguinea complex and L. chejuensis. Nomenclature for L. chejuensis and L. flavescens whether they should be described as a hybrid origin should be discussed in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: 18O labeled catalysts, Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x (Rh/GDC10) and Rh/γ-Al2O3 (Rh/ALU) were used to study the catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) and oxygen isotopic exchange reactions. During the CPOM tests, higher C18O than C16O concentrations were observed over 18O labeled Rh/GDC10 than Rh/ALU, which is explained by the higher oxygen storage capacity and oxygen mobility of the former catalyst. Similarly, Rh/GDC10 showed higher oxygen exchange rates than Rh/ALU during the isotopic exchange experiments. The oxygen exchange between the gas phase and the solid is limited by the oxygen mobility in/on the catalyst. This catalytic behavior is due to the fact that ceria has two stable oxidation states, Ce3+ and Ce4+ and the addition of Gd3+ to ceria lattice enhanced the oxygen mobility by the creation of oxygen vacancies. These higher oxygen exchange rates also correlate to higher concentrations of C18O than C16O during the CPOM experiments. Pulse experiments suggest that the reaction mechanism for the CPOM on Rh/GDC10 occurred through a mixed (direct and indirect) mechanism. The direct mechanism assumes that H2 and CO are primary reaction products formed in the oxidation zone at the catalyst entrance. Thus, CO formed from the reaction between lattice oxygen in Rh/GDC10 and adsorbed atomic carbon. CO2 is formed through an indirect mechanism, where CH4 reacts with O2 to form CO2 and H2O. CO forms through the reactions between 1) CO2 and CH4 and 2) CH4 and H2O. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Sediment data were analyzed to determine grain-size dependant factors affecting sediment transport in a low-ordered, ephemeral watershed. Sediment and flow samples were collected during 22 flow events at the outlet of a 4·53 ha sub-watershed within the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed in south-eastern Arizona. Measured concentrations ranged from 4191 to 115 045 mg l and included grain sizes up to 8·0 mm in diameter. Two grain-size dependent transport patterns were observed, that of the finer grain-size fraction (approximately < 0·25 mm) and that of a coarser grain-size fraction (approximately ≥ 0·25 mm). The concentration of the fine fraction decreased with flow duration, peaking near the beginning of a flow event and declining thereafter. The concentration of the fine fraction showed slight trends with season and recovery period. The concentration of the coarse fraction displayed a slight negative trend with instantaneous discharge and was not correlated with event duration. These patterns typically produced a condition where the majority of the fine fraction of the sediment yield was evacuated out of the watershed before the hydrograph peak while the majority of the coarser sediment was evacuated during the falling limb of the hydrograph. Each grain-size dependent transport pattern was likely influenced by the source of the associated sediment. At the flow event time scale, the fines were primarily wash load, supplied from the hillslopes and the coarser grains were entrained from the channel bed. Because transport patterns differ based on grain size, attempts to define the total sediment concentration and sediment yield by the behavior of a single grain-size fraction may lead to erroneous results, especially when a large range of sediment grain sizes are present.

AB  - Abstract: We analyzed 100 Campylobacter spp. isolates (C. jejuni and C. coli) from Grenada, Puerto Rico and Alabama, which were collected from live broilers or retail broiler meat. We analyzed these isolates with four molecular typing methods: restriction fragment length polymorphism of the flaA gene (flaA-RFLP), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and automated repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction (REP-PCR) using the DiversiLab system. All methods performed similarly for the typing of C. jejuni and C. coli. The DNA extraction method appears to influence the results obtained with REP-PCR. This method was better for the typing of C. jejuni than C. coli, however both REP-PCR and flaA-RFLP generated types that were indistinguishable between C. jejuni and C. coli and appeared to be random, without any relationship to species, location, or source of isolates. PFGE and MLST generated typing results that had a better correlation with the geographic location of the isolates and showed higher concordance with the Wallace coefficient. The adjusted Rand coefficient did not show higher concordance among the methods, although the PFGE/MLST combination exhibited the highest concordance. PFGE and MLST revealed a better discriminatory power for C. coli isolates than REP-PCR or flaA-RFLP. The use of readily available online tools to calculate the confidence interval of the Simpson''s index of diversity and the adjusted Rand and Wallace coefficients helped estimate the discriminatory power of typing methods.

AB  - Northern red oak ( L.) seedling growth has been extensively studied. White oak ( L.) and chestnut oak ( L.), however, are far less investigated despite their importance among upland oak species in eastern North American forests. We characterized white and chestnut oak seedling response to light and available soil nutrients while using northern red oak as a benchmark. Germinants were grown within one of three shade treatments (25%, 18%, and 6% of full sun) in one of two native forest soil mixes over two growing seasons. Leaf area, shoot mass, and root mass of all three species showed positive growth responses to increasing light. Growth and biomass were higher for all species grown in the more nutrient-rich forest soil, but chestnut oak displayed the greatest positive responses to the higher nutrient levels. White oak seedlings were the slowest growers and demonstrated the most root-centered growth, with root to shoot ratios almost twice that of either chestnut or northern red oak seedlings. The oak species evaluated here responded differently to changes in resource availability. Our study demonstrates the differential response of upland oaks to low light and nutrients. These differences need consideration when developing oak management prescriptions for specific oaks. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La croissance des semis de chêne rouge ( L.) a fait l'objet de plusieurs études. Toutefois, le chêne blanc ( L.) et le chêne châtaignier ( L.) ont été beaucoup moins étudiés malgré leur importance parmi les espèces de chêne de milieu sec dans les forêts de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord. Nous avons caractérisé la réaction des semis de chêne blanc et de chêne châtaignier à la lumière et à la disponibilité des nutriments du sol en utilisant le chêne rouge comme référence. Les germinats se sont développés pendant deux saisons de croissance dans un des trois traitements d'ombre (25 %, 18 % et 6 % de la pleine lumière) et dans un des deux mélanges de sol forestier prélevés in situ. La croissance en surface foliaire, en biomasse des pousses et en biomasse racinaire des trois espèces a augmenté avec la disponibilité de la lumière. La croissance et la biomasse des trois espèces étaient plus élevées dans le sol forestier le plus riche, mais dans de telles conditions, la réaction du chêne châtaignier a été la plus forte. La croissance des semis de chêne blanc était la plus lente et la plus axée vers le développement racinaire avec un rapport entre la biomasse racinaire et celle des pousses presque deux fois plus élevé que ceux des semis de chêne châtaignier et de chêne rouge. Les espèces de chêne de la présente étude ont réagi différemment aux changements de disponibilité des ressources. Notre étude démontre que les chênes de milieu sec réagissent différemment à la faible disponibilité de lumière et de nutriments. Ces différences méritent d'être considérées pour mettre au point des prescriptions sylvicoles propres aux différentes espèces de chêne. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Analytical methods to improve the detection of erythromycin in water and sediment were developed to optimize for erythromycin's recovery of extractable and bound residues from the aquatic environment. The objective of this study was to determine optimal recovery of erythromycin from water and sediment to improve its detection in environmental samples through solid-phase extraction (SPE) and sediment-extraction methods. SPE methods examined included previously reported methods for macrolide and sulfonamide antibiotics with erythromycin recoveries ranging from 75.5 % to 94.7 %. Extraction of erythromycin was performed from sand employing various solvents and buffers to determine the best method for extraction from two sandy loam pond sediments. Various extraction times were also examined, and all extraction procedures were performed in duplicate. The greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin in the Iowa sediment was 84 % using 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 4.2: acetonitrile (15:85, v/v) solution. The Oklahoma sediment yielded the greatest recovery of14C-erythromycin at 86.7 % with 0.3 M ammonium acetate at pH 7: acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) with a 60-minute shake time. The present results demonstrate improved extraction methods for enhancing the accuracy of erythromycin detection from environmental samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sugar beet pulp (SBP), the residue from sugar extraction, was compounded and turned into in situ thermoplastic composite materials. The compounding was performed using a common twin- screw compounding extruder and water and glycerol were used as co-plasticizers. The melt compounding of SBP utilized the water-soluble characteristics of pectin which is one of main components of SBP. The structure of SBP was destroyed under extrusion and pectin was partially released and plasticized by water and glycerol. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the cellulose microfibrils were dispersed in the matrix of pectin and other ingredients. Effects of the water and glycerol co-plasticizers on rheological, tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of the SBP plastics were investigated. Effects of relative humidity of the environment on the tensile and dynamical mechanical properties of the neat SBP compounds were also evaluated. The results demonstrated that SBP could be processed as a plastic with water and glycerol as co-plasticizers using traditional processing equipments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Countieswith higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified foodmanager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

AB  - This study presents the results of a broad intercomparison of a total of 15 global aerosol models within the AeroCom project. Each model is compared to observations related to desert dust aerosols, their direct radiative effect, and their impact on the biogeochemical cycle, i.e., aerosol optical depth (AOD) and dust deposition. Additional comparisons to Angstrom exponent (AE), coarse mode AOD and dust surface concentrations are included to extend the assessment of model performance and to identify common biases present in models. These data comprise a benchmark dataset that is proposed for model inspection and future dust model development. There are large differences among the global models that simulate the dust cycle and its impact on climate. In general, models simulate the climatology of vertically integrated parameters (AOD and AE) within a factor of two whereas the total deposition and surface concentration are reproduced within a factor of 10. In addition, smaller mean normalized bias and root mean square errors are obtained for the climatology of AOD and AE than for total deposition and surface concentration. Characteristics of the datasets used and their uncertainties may influence these differences. Large uncertainties still exist with respect to the deposition fluxes in the southern oceans. Further measurements and model studies are necessary to assess the general model performance to reproduce dust deposition in ocean regions sensible to iron contributions. Models overestimate the wet deposition in regions dominated by dry deposition. They generally simulate more realistic surface concentration at stations downwind of the main sources than at remote ones. Most models simulate the gradient in AOD and AE between the different dusty regions. However the seasonality and magnitude of both variables is better simulated at African stations than Middle East ones. The models simulate the offshore transport of West Africa throughout the year but they overestimate the AOD and they transport too fine particles. The models also reproduce the dust transport across the Atlantic in the summer in terms of both AOD and AE but not so well in winter-spring nor the southward displacement of the dust cloud that is responsible of the dust transport into South America. Based on the dependency of AOD on aerosol burden and size distribution we use model bias with respect to AOD and AE to infer the bias of the dust emissions in Africa and the Middle East. According to this analysis we suggest that a range of possible emissions for North Africa is 400 to 2200 Tg yr-1 and in the Middle East 26 to 526 Tg yr-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Laboratory experiments were performed in order to determine the alteration in cement exposed to acid gas (H2S–CO2) and pure CO2 under simulated reservoir conditions. Cement samples were exposed for a period of 28 days at a temperature of 50°C and a pressure of 15MPa using pure CO2 and H2S–CO2 (21mol% H2S) to simulate acid gas. The cement samples were partially submerged in aqueous solutions to include both saturated aqueous and supercritical CO2 phases. The cement exposed to pure CO2 was identical in alteration to those previously tested and described in that they exhibited the typical carbonation rims which result from the CO2/cement interaction. The H2S–CO2 exposed cement exhibited a carbonated zone similar to the CO2-only samples and underwent an additional sequence of oxidation–reduction and sulfidation reactions. Ettringite was observed in the interior region of the cement, and pyrite in the carbonated rim of the cement exposed to H2S–CO2. The mineralogical changes and alteration front are believed to be controlled by local porewater pH buffering. Although the process of secondary ettringite formation subsequent to the hardening of cement can lead to strength loss and degradation, ettringite induced mechanical damage was not observed in the samples.

AB  - To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts. We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current and future decisions about management of species, communities, and ecological processes in the United States. The questions were generated by an open, inclusive process that included personal interviews with decisionmakers, broad solicitation of research needs from scientists and policymakers, and an intensive workshop that included scientifically oriented individuals responsible for managing and developing policy related to natural resources. The process differed from previous efforts to set priorities for conservation research in its focus on the engagement of decisionmakers in addition to researchers. The research priorities emphasized the importance of addressing societal context and exploration of trade-offs among alternative policies and actions, as well as more traditional questions related to ecological processes and functions.

AB  - This paper explores whether cash transfer programmes conditioned on human capital outcomes can influence agricultural production. Programme impact on food consumption from own production, land use, livestock ownership, and agricultural spending are evaluated using first difference and weighted estimators, in which weights are constructed from propensity scores. The programme is found to increase the value and variety of food consumed from own production and to increase land use, livestock ownership and crop spending. Impact estimates are found to differ across land use categories and PROCAMPO participation. Results support the hypothesis that transfers influence agricultural production and impacts are greater for households invested in agriculture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper demonstrates how the density function of the U.S. domestic commodity support payments for corn differs between current price-based approaches to support and a revenue-based alternative. Comparing across program scenarios that provide equal expected levels of support at the national level, the revenue-based scenario exhibits a lower variability around total expected annual payments, and perhaps more importantly, a lower probability of high payments than the current-style support. Furthermore, for the vast majority of corn-producing counties in the United States, the coefficient of variation of total gross revenue per acre is lower under the revenue-based support scenario than under the current-style scenario.

AB  - We analyze growth and diversification of U.S. dairy farms by examining changes in ten size cohorts and new entrants through three successive censuses. We reject Gibrat's law and the mean reversion hypothesis of growth. Growth rates appear bimodal where the smallest and largest farm cohorts grow fastest. All cohorts diversify but the largest farms do not diversify as rapidly as medium-sized farms. New entrants are generally large, and they diversify more rapidly than comparably sized incumbents do. These data suggest that scale economies persist even for the largest cohort of U.S. dairy farms and scale economies dominate scope economies for large farms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Objective: To test the hypotheses that interventions clearly based on theory, multiple theories, or a formal intervention planning process will be more effective in changing fruit and vegetable consumption among children than interventions with no behavioral theoretical foundation. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Identification of articles in PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cochrane Collaborative database, and existing literature reviews and meta-analyses. Participants: Children aged 2–18 years. Interventions: Change in fruit and/or vegetable consumption in dietary change interventions. Methods: Meta-analysis, meta-regression analysis, and summary reporting for articles. Conclusions and Implications: Predicating an intervention on behavioral theory had a small to moderate enhancement (P < .001) of outcome effectiveness. Differences in mean Hedges' g effect sizes between theory and non-theory interventions were 0.232 for fruit, 0.043 for vegetables, and 0.333 for fruit and vegetables combined. There was mixed support, however, for enhanced dietary change with multiple theories or a formal planning process. After controlling for study quality, theory use was related only to vegetable consumption (β = 0.373; P < .001). More research is needed on theory's influences on dietary behaviors to guide future interventions among children. More research is also needed to identify what may be effective practical- or experience-based procedures that complement theory, to incorporate into interventions. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Sunlight exposure has been shown to alter DNA methylation patterns across several human cell-types, including T-lymphocytes. Since epigenetic changes establish gene expression profiles, changes in DNA methylation induced by sunlight exposure warrant investigation. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of sunlight exposure on CD4+ T-cell methylation patterns on an epigenome-wide scale in a North American population of European origin ( n = 991). In addition, we investigated the genetic contribution to epigenetic variation (methylQTL). We used linear regression to test the associations between methylation scores at 461 281 cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and sunlight exposure, followed by a genome-wide association analysis (methylQTL) to test for associations between methylation at the top CpG locus and common genetic variants, assuming an additive genetic model. We observed an epigenome-wide significant association between sunlight exposure and methylation status at cg26930596 ( p = 9.2 × 10−8), a CpG site located in protein kinase C zeta ( PRKCZ), a gene previously shown to be entrained by light. MethylQTL analysis resulted in significant associations between cg26930596 and two intergenic single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 3, rs4574216 ( p = 1.5 × 10−10) and rs4405858 ( p = 1.9 × 10−9). These common genetic variants reside downstream of WWTR1, a transcriptional co-activator of PRKCZ. Associations observed in the North American population, however, did not replicate in an independent Mediterranean cohort. Our preliminary results support the role of sunlight exposure in epigenetic processes, and lay the groundwork for future studies of the molecular link between sunlight and physiologic processes such as tumorigenesis and metabolism.

N2  - This paper quantitatively assesses the impact of falling foreign direct investment (FDI) barriers on individual firms and its implications for intra-industry reallocation and aggregate productivity. We calibrate the firm-heterogeneity model of Eaton et al. (2011) to match micro-level data on Japanese multinational firms facing fixed and variable costs of foreign production. We demonstrate that the calibrated model can be used to replicate the entry and sales patterns of Japanese multinationals. Counterfactual simulations show that declining FDI barriers lead to a disproportionate expansion of foreign production by more efficient firms relative to less efficient firms. A hypothetical 20% reduction in FDI barriers is found to generate up to a 26.8% improvement in industry-level productivity through global market-share reallocations within the industry. Compared with fixed entry barriers, reallocation effects and productivity gains are larger for a reduction of variable costs of foreign production.

N2  - The 2014 U.S. Farm Act has new programs for providing producers with commodity support payments covering "shallow losses" in revenue. We develop an approach to examine the sensitivity of the farmer's downside risk protection to marginal changes in the deductible in shallow loss program scenarios. The copula approach we use simultaneously considers price and yield correlation across all U.S. counties producing several major field crops. We find that average payments under the shallow loss program scenarios are elastic with respect to the program's payment coverage rate. To empirically assess where shallow loss is likely to most benefit producers, we map at the county level the ratios of expected shallow loss payments to crop insurance premiums for corn, soybeans, cotton, and winter wheat. As tail dependencies among individual crop yield densities may vary spatially, we propose a method for grouping counties in a t-copula that allows for heterogeneity in tail dependencies.

N2  - The United States Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) has long conducted statistical surveys and published official statistics about almost every aspect of agriculture. Survey frames include both a list of farm establishments and an area frame, which are often combined to produce multiple-frame estimates. The survey results have also been compared to administrative records on the disposition of commodities. The disposition of commodities, or other intermittent administrative records, which are often received sometime after the survey results are published, must align with published results. For example, hog and pig inventories are published quarterly, while complete slaughter administrative information that matches the inventories is available six to seven months later. NASS has utilized balance sheets and other analysis tools in an expert review process to align the published results to the administrative information. However, the tools lack the statistical rigor that is required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) statistical standards. They are also deficient in the area of statistical measures of error, and are somewhat dependent upon the analyst. This paper will describe efforts to combine the multiple-frame survey results and other data sources using rigorous, statistically defensible methodologies that strengthen the overall results and meet OMB guidelines.

N2  - Purpose--An established paradigm in small business lending is segmented by bank size with large banks more likely to lend to large informationally transparent firms while small banks are more likely to lend to small informationally opaque firms. In light of banking consolidation, this market segmentation can have implications for credit availability. Federal loan guarantees, such as those provided by USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) may reduce the risks of lending to informationally opaque firms thereby mitigating the impacts of the bank size lending paradigm. This paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach--This analysis utilized a binomial logit procedure to determine if there was any empirical evidence that smaller community banks served a unique clientele of farmers when making FSA-guaranteed loans. The analysis relied on a unique data set which incorporated detailed data on farm businesses receiving FSA-guaranteed loans, loan characteristics, as well as information about the originating bank and characteristics of the local credit markets. Findings--Results were consistent with the bank size lending paradigm with smaller banks being less likely to engage in fixed-asset lending, and more likely to serve a riskier and less established clientele when making guaranteed loans. Research limitations/implications--Data limitations did not permit detailed analysis of banks larger than $250 million in total assets nor for consideration of non-bank lenders. An expansion by these lender groups into serving more informationally opaque borrowers could mitigate any adverse impacts arising from fewer small community banks. Practical implications--The results suggested that Federal guarantees do not completely eliminate the relative informational advantages of large and small size banks. And, continued bank consolidation, such that there are fewer small community banks, could result in less credit availability among smaller, less creditworthy farm businesses. Social implications--While FSA guarantees may not enhance a large banks propensity to serve informationally opaque farm borrowers, they may enhance the ability of smaller community banks to serve groups specifically targeted through FSA lending programs; the provision of credit to family farmers who, despite being creditworthy, are unable to obtain credit at reasonable rates and terms. Originality/value--The analysis examines relationship between bank size and the use of FSA guarantees using a unique data set which incorporated information on FSA-guaranteed loans, farm financial characteristics, along with characteristics of commercial banks which participated in the FSA-guarantee program.

N2  - We provide new cost estimates for carbon sequestration through afforestation in the U.S. We extend existing studies of carbon sequestration costs in several important ways, while ensuring the transparency of our approach. Our costs estimates have five distinguishing features: (1) we estimate costs for each county in the contiguous U.S., (2) we include afforestation of rangeland, in addition to cropland and pasture, (3) our opportunity cost estimates account for capitalized returns to future development (including associated option values) in addition to returns to agricultural production, (4) we develop a new set of forest establishment costs for each county, and (5) we incorporate data on Holdridge life zones to limit afforestation in locations where temperature and moisture availability prohibit forest growth. We find that at a carbon price of $50/ton, approximately 200 million tons of carbon would be sequestered annually through afforestation. At a price of $100/ton, an additional 100 million tons of carbon would be sequestered each year. Our estimates closely match those in earlier econometric studies for relatively low carbon prices, but diverge at higher carbon prices. Our results indicate a smaller, but still important, role for forest-based carbon sequestration in offsetting U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

AB  - Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a dietary component with possible anticancer effects, though much information about AITC and cancer has been obtained from cell studies. To investigate the effect of AITC on DNA integrity in vivo, a crossover study was conducted. Adults (n=46) consumed AITC, AITC-rich vegetables [mustard and cabbage (M/C)] or a control treatment with a controlled diet for 10 days each. On day 11, volunteers provided blood and urine before and after consuming treatments. Volunteers were characterized for genotype for GSTM1 and GSTT1 (glutathione S-transferases) and XPD (DNA repair). DNA integrity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assessed by single-cell gel electrophoresis. Urine was analyzed for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and creatinine. Ten-day intake of neither AITC nor M/C resulted in statistically significant differences in DNA strand breaks [least squares mean (LSmean) % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 4.8±0.6 for control, 5.7±0.7 for AITC, 5.3±0.6 for M/C] or urinary 8-oxodG (LSmean μg 8-oxodG/g creatinine±S.E.M.: 2.95±0.09 for control, 2.88±0.09 for AITC, 3.06±0.09 for M/C). Both AITC and M/C increased DNA strand breaks 3 h postconsumption (LSmean % DNA in tail±S.E.M.: 3.2±0.7 for control, 8.3±1.7 for AITC, 8.0±1.7 for M/C), and this difference disappeared at 6 h (4.2±0.9 for control, 5.7±1.2 for AITC, 5.5±1.2 for M/C). Genotypes for GSTM1, GSTT1 and XPD were not associated with treatment effects. In summary, DNA damage appeared to be induced in the short term by AITC and AITC-rich products, but that damage disappeared quickly, and neither AITC nor AITC-rich products affected DNA base excision repair.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on quality of life in postmenopausal women. METHODS: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 24-month trial was conducted to assess the effect of 80 or 120 mg of daily aglycone hypocotyl soy isoflavone supplementation on quality of life in 403 postmenopausal women using a validated Menopause-Specific Quality of Life questionnaire. RESULTS: Menopause-Specific Quality of Life domain scores at 1 year and 2 years were similar to baseline. There were no differences in domain scores among treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Soy isoflavone supplementation offers no benefit to quality of life in postmenopausal women.

AB  - The article focuses on characteristics of plant-associated toxins that are present in human food supply. Natural toxicants, which include low molecular weight secondary metabolites through to high molecular weight proteins, are amongst the most damaging and deadly chemicals known. The use of herbs and other plants by humans for health purposes can also result in poisoning episodes. The interaction between humans and plants has evolved to the extent that various cultures have acquired empirical knowledge about which foods to avoid, or how to treat plants in order to prevent intoxication. Cultures are also generally aware of circumstances which might lead to increased toxicity, such as the increase in steroidal glycoalkaloids in greening potato tubers. At present, one of the major concerns is the contamination of known safe and nutritious or flavorsome food plants with toxic plants that are normally avoided, and the contamination of food products from food-producing animals that have consumed toxic plants.

AB  - The effects of adding the nonlethal bird repellent methyl anthranilate (MA), at levels of 100 and 1000 mg kg−1, to fish feed on the bioaccumulation and growth of juvenile (10 g) hybrid striped bass ( Morone chrysops× M. saxatilis) and juvenile (1 g) African cichlid fish Aulonocara jacobfreibergi were investigated under laboratory conditions. The bird repellent did not have any effect on the fish growth or survival over a period of 6 weeks. MA residues at low levels of 11.2±2.6 μg g−1 were found in lipophilic tissues (liver) of MA-fed fish. Control fish, which had no MA added to their diet, had a much lower level of 0.6±0.3 μg g−1 MA in their liver. Fish muscle was found to contain negligible MA residues, while the outer body surface mucus did not contain any MA. Following a 6-week depuration period, during which the previously MA-fed hybrid striped bass were fed a feed to which no MA was added, the levels of MA residues detected were reduced by one order of magnitude.

AB  - The effects of stream size and flow regime on spatial and temporal variability of stream fish distribution, abundance, and diversity patterns were investigated. Assemblage variability and species richness were each significantly associated with a complex environmental gradient contrasting smaller, hydrologically variable stream localities with larger localities characterized by more stable flow regimes. Assemblages showing the least variability were the most species-rich and occurred in relatively large, stable environments. Theory suggests that species richness can be an important determinant of assemblage variability. Although this appears to be true in our system, we suggest that spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the environment largely determines both assemblage richness and variability, providing a more parsimonious explanation for the diversity–variability correlation. Changes in species richness of local assemblages across time were coordinated across the landscape, and assemblages formed spatially and temporally nested subset patterns. These results suggest an important link between local community dynamics and community-wide occurrence. At the species level, mean local persistence was significantly associated with regional occurrence. Thus, the more widespread a species was, the greater its local persistence. Our results illustrate how the integrity of local stream fish assemblages is dependent on local environmental conditions, regional patterns of species distribution, and landscape continuity.

AB  - Nous avons étudié les effets de la taille du cours d'eau et du régime des eaux sur la variabilité spatiale et temporelle de la répartition, de l'abondance et des patrons de diversité des poissons dans ce cours d'eau. La variabilité du peuplement et la richesse en espèces sont toutes deux associées significativement à un gradient complexe du milieu, mais de façon différente dans les sites lotiques plus petits à hydrologie variable et les sites plus grands à régime hydrologique plus stable. Les peuplements qui subissent le moins de variabilité sont ceux qui ont la richesse en espèces la plus importante et qui se retrouvent sur les sites plus étendus et plus stables. La théorie écologique indique que la richesse en espèces peut être un important facteur déterminant de la variabilité des peuplements. Bien que cela semble être le cas dans le système que nous avons étudié, nous croyons que l'hétérogénéité spatiale et temporelle du milieu détermine en grande mesure tant la variabilité que la richesse des peuplements, ce qui explique de façon plus parcimonieuse la corrélation diversité–variabilité. Les changements de richesse en espèces des peuplements locaux au cours du temps sont synchronisés sur tout le paysage et les peuplements forment des patrons de sous-ensembles emboîtés spatialement et temporellement. Nos résultats indiquent un lien important entre la dynamique de la communauté locale et l'occurrence à l'échelle de la communauté. Au niveau spécifique, la persistance locale moyenne est associée significativement à l'occurrence régionale. Ainsi, plus une espèce est largement répartie, plus sa persistance locale est grande. Nos résultats montrent combien l'intégrité des peuplements locaux de poissons dépend des conditions locales de l'environnement, des patrons régionaux de répartition des espèces et de la continuité du paysage.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis Hook.) woodlands are rapidly replacing lower elevation (< 2 100 m) quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands throughout the northern Great Basin. Aspen restoration is important because these communities provide critical habitat for many wildlife species and contain a high diversity of understory shrubs and herbaceous species. We studied two juniper removal treatments to restore aspen woodlands. Treatments included cutting one-third of the juniper trees followed by early fall burning (FALL) or early spring burning (SPRING). Selective cutting of juniper was performed to increase cured surface (0-2 m) fuel levels to carry fire through the woodlands. We tested treatment effectiveness at removing juniper from seedlings to mature trees, measured aspen sucker recruitment, and evaluated the response to treatment of shrub and herbaceous cover and diversity. In the FALL treatment, burning eliminated all remaining juniper trees and seedlings, stimulated a 6-fold increase in aspen suckering (10 000 ha-1), but initially resulted in a significant reduction in herbaceous cover. Spring burning removed 80% of the mature juniper trees that remained after cutting. However, 50% of juniper juveniles survived the SPRING treatment, which will permit juniper to redominate these stands in less than 80 years. Aspen suckering in the SPRING increased only 2.5-fold to 5 300 stems ha-1 by the third year after fire. In the SPRING, herbaceous cover increased 330% and the number of species observed doubled by the third year after fire. If the management objective is to eliminate western juniper with minimal cutting and stimulate greater aspen suckering, we recommend that woodlands be burned in the fall. If the objective is to maintain shrub and herbaceous cover and moderately increase aspen suckering, spring burning is recommended. With spring burning it appears follow-up management will be necessary to remove juniper that are missed in initial treatments. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Los bosques de "Western juniper" (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis Hook.) están reemplazando rápidamente a las poblaciones de "Quaking aspen" (Populus tremuloides Michx.) de baja elevación (< 2 100 m) a lo largo de la Gran Cuenca del norte. La restauración del "Quaking aspen" es importante porque estas comunidades proveen un hábitat critico para muchas especies de fauna silvestre y en su estrato bajo tienen una gran diversidad de especies arbustivas y herbáceas. Estudiamos dos tratamientos de remoción del "Western juniper" para restaurar los bosques de "Aspen". Los tratamientos incluyeron el corte de 1/3 de los árboles de "Western juniper" seguido por una quema a inicio de otoño (OTOÑO) o una quema a inicio de primavera (PRIMAVERA). El corte selectivo del "Western juniper" se realizó para incrementar los niveles de combustible superficial curado (0-2 m) para conducir el fuego a través de los bosques. Probamos la efectividad de los tratamientos para remover el "Western juniper" desde plántulas hasta árboles maduros, midiendo el establecimiento de retoños de "Aspen" y evaluamos la respuesta de la cobertura y diversidad de especies arbustivas y herbáceas a los tratamientos. En el tratamiento de OTOÑO, la quema eliminó todos los árboles y plántulas remanentes de "Western juniper" y estimuló un aumento de 6 veces de los retoños de "Aspen" (10 000 ha-1), pero inicialmente resultó en una reducción severa de la cobertura herbácea. La quema en primavera removió el 80% de los árboles maduros de "Western juniper" que permanecieron después del corte. Sin embargo, 50% de los "Western juniper" juveniles sobrevivieron al tratamiento de PRIMAVERA, lo cual permitirá que el "Western juniper" vuelva a dominar estas poblaciones en menos de 80 años. Al tercer año después del fuego, la producción de retoños de "Aspen" en el tratamiento de PRIMAVERA se incrementó solo 2.5 veces, a 5 300 tallos ha-1. En el tratamiento de PRIMAVERA la cobertura de herbáceas aumentó en 330% y el número de especies observadas se duplicó para el tercer año después del fuego. Si el objetivo de manejo es eliminar el "Western juniper" con un corte mínimo y estimular el un gran rebrote del "Aspen", nosotros recomendamos que los bosques se quemen en otoño. Si el objetivo es mantener la cobertura de arbustivas y herbáceas e incrementar moderadamente el rebrote de "Aspen" se recomienda la quema en primavera. Con la quema de primavera parece que es necesario un manejo complementario para remover los "Western juniper" que se escaparon en los tratamientos iniciales. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Data describing long-term sediment yield rates on semiarid rangeland watersheds are relatively rare. To augment existing data and gain a better understanding of the controlling variables, sediment yields from 8 subwatersheds within the US Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed in southeastern Arizona were computed from stock pond sediment accumulation measurements, water level records, and estimates of sediment transported in pond overflows. Sediment accumulation records ranging from 30 to 47 years were evaluated for subwatersheds ranging in size from 35.2 to 159.5 ha. Sediment yield ranged from 0.5 to 3.0 m³ · ha-1 · y-1, with a mean of 1.4 m³ ha-1 · y-1 and a standard deviation of 1.0 m³ · ha-1 · y-1. As expected, runoff volume was a significant factor (P = 0.005) in explaining the variability in sediment yield, but regression analysis demonstrated other variables are important. For example, the ratio of watershed area to main channel length significantly described (P = 0.06) sediment yield, suggesting that more detailed measurements are needed to characterize channel networks to relate internal watershed sediment transport and deposition processes to sediment delivery at the outlets. To generalize sediment yield rates across rangeland regions, additional research is necessary to determine the relative influence of rainfall and runoff patterns, and watershed physiographic and geomorphic characteristics on sediment transport.

AB  - Los datos que describen las tasas de producción de sedimentos a largo plazo de las cuencas hidrológicas de los pastizales semiáridos son relativamente raros. Para aumentar los datos existentes y tener un mejor entendimiento de las variables controladoras, Ia producción de sedimento de 8 subcuencas, ubicadas dentro Ia Cuenca Hidrológica Experimental Walnut Gulch del Servicio de Investigación Agrícola del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos en el sudeste de Arizona, fue calculada a partir de mediciones de la acumulación de sedimentos en estanques, registros del nivel de agua y estimaciones de sedimentos transportados en los sobreflujos de los estanques. Los registros de acumulación de sedimentos de un rango de 30 a 47 años fueron evaluados para subcuencas que variaron en tamaño de 35.2 a 159.5 ha. La producción de sedimentos varió de 0.5 a 3.0 m³ · ha-1  · año-1, con una media de 1.4 m³ · ha-1 · año-1 y una desviación estándar de 1.0 m³ · ha-1 · año-1. Como se esperaba, el volumen de escurrimiento fue un factor significativo (P = 0.005) para explicar la variabilidad en la producción de sedimentos, pero el análisis de regresión demostró que otras variables son importantes. Por ejemplo, la relación del área de la cuenca con la longitud del canal principal describió significativamente (P = 0.06) la producción de sedimento, sugiriendo que se necesitan mediciones más detalladas para caracterizar las redes de canales para relacionar el transporte interno de sedimentos en la cuenca y los procesos de deposición con la liberación de sedimentos a los canales. Par generalizar las tasas de producción de sedimentos a través de las regiones de pastizal, se requiere de investigación adicional para determinar la influencia relativa de los patrones de precipitación y escurrimiento y las característica fisiográficas y geomórficas de la cuenca sobre el transporte de sedimentos.

AB  - It is difficult to obtain precise and accurate estimates of the true mycotoxin concentration of a bulk lot when using a mycotoxin-sampling plan that measures the concentration in only a small portion of the bulk lot. A mycotoxin-sampling plan is defined by a mycotoxin test procedure and a defined accept/reject limit. A mycotoxin test procedure is a complicated process and generally consists of several steps: (1) a sample of a given size is taken from the lot, (2) the sample is ground (comminuted) in a mill to reduce its particle size, (3) a subsample is removed from the comminuted sample, and (4) the mycotoxin is extracted from the comminuted subsample and quantified. Even when using accepted test procedures, there is uncertainty associated with each step of the mycotoxin test procedure. Because of this variability, the true mycotoxin concentration in the lot cannot be determined with 100% certainty by measuring the mycotoxin concentration in a sample taken from the lot. The variability for each step of the mycotoxin test procedure, as measured by the variance statistic, is shown to increase with mycotoxin concentration. Sampling is usually the largest source of variability associated with the mycotoxin test procedure. Sampling variability is large because a small percentage of kernels are contaminated and the level of contamination on a single seed can be very large. Methods to reduce sampling, sample preparation and analytical variability are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This chapter describes the biochemical characteristics of 6 species of bacteria commonly implicated in food spoilage, i.e., Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. lundensis, P. fragi, P. viridiflava, Shewanella putrefaciens, and Xanthomonas campestris. Methods for the detection, enumeration, and control of these bacteria in foods are also described. Chemical agents for the control of Pseudomonas and Shewanella contamination in foods include ozone, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, and organic acids, while physical interventions include modified atmosphere and irradiation. The extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting their survival and growth on foods, and the mechanisms of spoilage (e.g., enzyme production) employed by these bacterial species are discussed.

N2  - Glucose and insulin responses have been reported to be lowered by acute consumption of soluble oat fiber or high amylose cornstarch. This study sought to determine if barley β-glucan and preformed resistant starch reduced glucose and insulin responses in men independently or if a synergism exists between the two carbohydrate sources. A total of 20 men (10 control, 10 overweight; average body mass index, 23.8 vs 29.0) were fed a controlled diet for 2 days before each treatment containing 75 g available carbohydrate. Fasting subjects consumed 10 treatments consisting of glucose or 1 of 9 muffins containing 3 levels of resistant starch (0.1, 6.1, or 11.6 g/tolerance) and 3 levels of β-glucan (0.1, 3.1, or 5.8 g/tolerance) in a Latin square design. Plasma glucose and insulin responses were determined over 4 hours after each treatment. Compared with controls, overweight subjects had significantly higher mean glucose (5.5 vs 6.0±0.1 mmol/L) (P&lt;.003) and insulin (153 vs 285±21 mmol/L) (P&lt;.0001) concentrations. Glucose (P&lt;.001) and insulin (P&lt;.003) responses were lower and returned to fasting quicker in the controls than in overweight subjects. The highest β-glucan level was the most effective in lowering glucose (P&lt;.001) and insulin responses (P&lt;.0001). Average glucose (P&lt;.025) and insulin (P&lt;.0001) areas under the curve were lowest after the muffins containing the high β-glucan. Resistant starch content was less effective than β-glucan in reducing glucose or insulin response. Acute consumption of barley β-glucan, but not resistant starch, in muffins was effective in reducing glucose and insulin responses in men who were mildly insulin-resistant.

N2  - Background: Children with edematous but not nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) have lower plasma and erythrocyte-free concentrations of cysteine and methionine, which suggests a decreased availability of methionine for cysteine synthesis. We propose that methionine production and metabolism will be slower in children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. Objective: We aimed to measure methionine flux, its transmethylation and its transsulfuration, and homocysteine remethylation in children with SCU. Design: Methionine kinetics were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n=11) and nonedematous (n=11) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they had recovered (clinical phase 3). Results: At clinical phase 1, children with edematous SCU had rates of total methionine flux, flux from protein breakdown, and flux to protein synthesis that were slower than the rates of the nonedematous group. There were no significant differences in homocysteine remethylation or methionine transsulfuration and transmethylation between the groups at clinical phase 1. Conclusion: These findings suggest that, in the acutely malnourished and infected state, children with edematous SCU have slower methionine production than do children with nonedematous SCU because of a slower rate of release from protein breakdown. This slower methionine production is not, however, associated with slower rates of methionine transsulfuration and transmethylation or homocysteine remethylation.

N2  - Background: Children with edematous but not nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) have lower plasma and erythrocyte-free concentrations of cysteine, the rate-limiting precursor of glutathione synthesis. We propose that these lower cysteine concentrations are due to reduced production secondary to slower de novo synthesis plus decreased release from protein breakdown. Objective: We aimed to measure cysteine production, de novo synthesis, and the rate of cysteine release from protein breakdown in children with SCU. Design: Cysteine flux, de novo synthesis, and release from protein breakdown were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n=11) and nonedematous (n=11) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they had recovered (clinical phase 3). Results: In clinical phase 1, cysteine production and its release from protein breakdown were slower in both groups of children than were the values in the recovered state. These kinetic variables were significantly slower, however, in the children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. De novo cysteine synthesis in clinical phase 1 was faster than the rate at recovery in the edematous SCU group, and there were no significant differences between the groups at any clinical phase. Conclusion: These findings suggest that cysteine production is reduced in all children with SCU because of a decreased contribution from protein breakdown and not from decreased de novo synthesis. The magnitude of this reduction, however, is much greater in children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU.

N2  - OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia in extremely low birth-weight infants and to determine whether hyperglycemia increases the risk of early adverse outcomes (death or intraventricular hemorrhage of grade 3 or 4) and/or affects the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage. METHODS. The charts of all extremely low birth-weight infants (n=93) admitted to Texas Children's Hospital (Houston, TX) during 2001 were reviewed. The highest daily blood glucose concentrations, highest dopamine infusion rates, highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen, and mean blood sodium concentrations were averaged over the first week of life or before death or occurrence of grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage. Among survivors without severe intraventricular hemorrhage, the time ratio for blood glucose concentrations of &gt;150 mg/dL was calculated. RESULTS. More than 50% of the infants had persistent blood glucose concentrations of &gt;150 mg/dL during their first week of life. Early adverse outcomes were associated with the average highest daily blood glucose concentration through interaction with the Clinical Risk Index for Babies score and with the average highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen. The length of hospital stay was associated with the time ratio for blood glucose concentrations of &gt;150 mg/dL through interaction with birth weight and the average highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen. CONCLUSION. These data confirm the high prevalence of hyperglycemia among parenterally fed, extremely low birth-weight infants and show that high blood glucose concentrations increase the risk of early death and grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage and the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage, which suggests that prevention and treatment of hyperglycemia may improve the outcomes of extremely low birth-weight infants.

N2  - The analyses of mycotoxin biosynthetic genes in Fusarium indicate that interspecies variation in trichothecene chemical structure can result from differences in gene function, and interspecies variation in fumonisin production/nonproduction can result from differences in the presence/absence of genes. Such variation is not always correlated with the phylogenetic relationships of species as determined by the sequencing of primary metabolic genes; distantly related species can share the same mycotoxin biosynthetic genotype and resulting phenotype, while more closely related species can differ. These findings provide further evidence that the evolution of mycotoxin biosynthesis in Fusarium has not always been congruent with the evolution of species. In addition, recent genomic analyses of F. verticillioides [Gibberella moniliformis] have identified 2 previously unknown fumonisin biosynthetic genes and have also provided insight into the regulation of these and previously identified biosynthetic genes.

N2  - Background: Soft drink consumption may have adverse effects on bone mineral density (BMD), but studies have shown mixed results. In addition to displacing healthier beverages, colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), which may adversely affect bone. Objective: We hypothesized that consumption of cola is associated with lower BMD. Design: BMD was measured at the spine and 3 hip sites in 1413 women and 1125 men in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dietary intake was assessed by food-frequency questionnaire. We regressed each BMD measure on the frequency of soft drink consumption for men and women after adjustment for body mass index, height, age, energy intake, physical activity score, smoking, alcohol use, total calcium intake, total vitamin D intake, caffeine from noncola sources, season of measurement, and, for women, menopausal status and estrogen use. Results: Cola intake was associated with significantly lower (P&lt;0.001-0.05) BMD at each hip site, but not the spine, in women but not in men. The mean BMD of those with daily cola intake was 3.7% lower at the femoral neck and 5.4% lower at Ward's area than of those who consumed &lt;1 serving cola/mo. Similar results were seen for diet cola and, although weaker, for decaffeinated cola. No significant relations between noncola carbonated beverage consumption and BMD were observed. Total phosphorus intake was not significantly higher in daily cola consumers than in nonconsumers; however, the calcium-to-phosphorus ratios were lower. Conclusions: Intake of cola, but not of other carbonated soft drinks, is associated with low BMD in women. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings.

N2  - Background: Current recommendations for magnesium requirements are based on sparse balance data. Objective: To provide new estimates of the average magnesium requirement for men and women, we pooled magnesium data from 27 different tightly controlled balance studies conducted at the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND. Design: Magnesium balance data (magnesium intake - [fecal magnesium+urinary magnesium]) (664 data points) were collected from 243 subjects (women: n=150; weight: 71.6±16.5 kg; age: 51.3±17.4 y; men: n=93, weight: 76.3±12.5 kg; age: 28.1±8.1 y). Data from the last 6-14 d of each dietary period (≥28 d) of each study were analyzed and were excluded if individual intakes of calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, or zinc fell below respective estimated average requirements (EARs) or exceeded 99th percentiles of usual intakes of those elements (iron: above the upper limit) from the 1994 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Daily intakes of magnesium ranged between 84 and 598 mg. The relation between magnesium intake and magnesium output was investigated by fitting random coefficient models. Results: The models predicted neutral magnesium balance [defined as magnesium output (Y) equal to magnesium intake (M)] at magnesium intakes of 165 mg/d [95% prediction interval (PI): 113, 237 mg/d; Y=19.8+0.880 M], 2.36 mg . kg-1 . d-1 (95% PI: 1.58, 3.38 mg . kg-1 . d-1; Y=0.306+0.870 M), or 0.075 mg . kcal-1 . d-1 (95% PI: 0.05, 0.11 mg . kcal-1 . d-1; Y=0.011+0.857 M). Neither age nor sex affected the relation between magnesium intake and output. Conclusion: The findings suggest a lower magnesium requirement for healthy men and women than estimated previously.

N2  - Clostridium perfringens growth from a spore inoculum was investigated in vacuum-packaged, cook-in-bag, marinated chicken breast that included additional 1.0% NaCl. The packages were processed to an internal temperature of 71.1°C, ice chilled and stored at various temperatures. The total C. perfringens population was determined by plating diluted samples on tryptose-sulfite-cycloserine agar followed by anaerobic incubation for 48 h at 37°C. At 19°C, C. perfringens levels were consistently about 2.5 log10 CFU/g until 9.5 h regardless of the presence or absence of Citricidal®. However, storage of the unsupplemented marinated chicken samples and those with 50 or 100 ppm Citricidal® samples at 25°C for more than 6 h resulted in rapid growth of C. perfringens, exhibiting 2-3 log10 CFU/g increase at 7 h. Citricidal® at 200 ppm significantly (p&lt;0.05) reduced the growth of C. perfringens at both 19 and 25°C. The D-values obtained at 90°C were significantly decreased (p&lt;0.05) from 14.07 (no Citricidal®) to 9.20 min (200 ppm Citricidal®). Supplementing marinated chicken products with Citricidal® and the temperature abuses had no consistent effect on colour, shear force or lipid oxidation. However, the organism may grow to unsafe levels if sous-vide products are poorly handled or temperature abused for a relatively long period. An extra degree of safety may be assured in such products by supplementation with 100 or 200 ppm Citricidal®.

N2  - The objective of this study was to compare the effects on blood pressure of predominantly insoluble fiber (whole wheat and brown rice) and soluble fiber (barley) in a whole-grain diet. Subjects (seven men, nine premenopausal women, and nine postmenopausal women) consumed a controlled Step I diet for 2 weeks; then about 20% of energy was replaced with whole wheat/brown rice, barley, or half wheat-rice/half barley, for 5 weeks each. Blood pressure was determined weekly and weight daily before breakfast. Urinary excretions of minerals that might affect blood pressure and urea nitrogen were determined each period. Systolic pressure was lower after the wheat/rice and half-and-half diets. Diastolic and mean arterial pressures were reduced by all whole-grain diets. No differences were observed in urinary measurements. In a healthful diet, increasing whole-grain foods, whether high in soluble or insoluble fiber, can reduce blood pressure and may help to control weight.

N2  - Objective: To estimate the proportions of the population meeting recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake, we first estimated the usual intake distributions of total fruits and vegetables and then compared the results to the 5 A Day recommendation and to the recommendations for fruits and vegetables combined, found in the new US Department of Agriculture food guide, MyPyramid. Design/subjects: The primary dataset was created from one 24-hour recall from each of 8,070 respondents in the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Variances were estimated using one or two 24-hour recalls from 14,963 respondents in the 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Statistical Analysis: The statistical method developed at Iowa State University was used for estimating distributions of usual intake of dietary components that are consumed daily. It was modified to allow the adjustment of heterogeneous within-person variances using an external estimate of heterogeneity. Results: In 1999-2000, only 40% of Americans ate an average of five or more 1/2-cup servings of fruits and vegetables per day. The proportions of sex-age groups meeting the new US Department of Agriculture recommendations ranged from 0.7% of boys aged 14 to 18 years, whose combined recommendation is 5 cups, to 48% of children aged 2 to 3 years, whose combined recommendation is 2 cups. Conclusions: Americans need to consume more fruits and vegetables, especially dark green and orange vegetables and legumes. Nutritionists must help consumers realize that, for everyone older than age 3 years, the new recommendations for fruit and vegetable intakes are greater than the familiar five servings a day.

N2  - Background: Genetic and environmental contributions to childhood obesity are poorly delineated. Objective: The Viva la Familia Study was designed to genetically map childhood obesity and its comorbidities in the Hispanic population. The objectives of this report were to describe the study design and to summarize genetic and environmental contributions to the phenotypic variation in obesity and risk factors for metabolic diseases in Hispanic children. Design: The Viva la Familia cohort consisted of 1030 children from 319 families selected based on an overweight proband between the ages of 4 and 19 y. In-depth phenotyping to characterize the overweight children and their siblings included anthropometric and body-composition traits by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and assessments of diet by 24-h recalls, physical activity by accelerometry, and risk factors for metabolic diseases by standard biochemical methods. Univariate quantitative genetic analysis was used to partition phenotypic variance into additive genetic and environmental components by using the computer program SOLAR. Results: Sex, age, and environmental covariates explained 1-91% of the phenotypic variance. Heritabilities of anthropometric indexes ranged from 0.24 to 0.75. Heritability coefficients for the body-composition traits ranged from 0.18 to 0.35. Diet and physical activity presented heritabilities of 0.32 to 0.69. Risk factors for metabolic diseases were heritable with coefficients ranging from 0.25 to 0.73. Significant genetic correlations between obesity traits and risk factors for metabolic diseases substantiated pleiotropy between traits. Conclusion: The Viva la Familia Study provides evidence of a strong genetic contribution to the high prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities in Hispanic children.

N2  - Background: A variety of soybean oils were developed with improved oxidative stability and functional characteristics for use as alternatives to partially hydrogenated fat. Objective: The objective was to assess the effect of selectively bred and genetically modified soybean oils with altered fatty acid profiles, relative to common soybean and partially hydrogenated soybean oils, on cardiovascular disease risk factors. Design: Thirty subjects (16 women and 14 men) aged &gt;50 y with LDL-cholesterol concentrations &gt;130 mg/dL at screening consumed 5 experimental diets in random order for 35 d each. Diets contained the same foods and provided 30% of energy as fat, of which two-thirds was either soybean oil (SO), low-saturated fatty acid soybean oil (LoSFA-SO), high-oleic acid soybean oil (HiOleic-SO), low--linolenic acid soybean oil (LoALA-SO), or partially hydrogenated soybean oil (Hydrog-SO). Results: Plasma phospholipid patterns reflected the predominant fat in the diet. LDL-cholesterol concentrations were 3.66±0.67b, 3.53±0.77b, 3.70±0.66b, 3.71±0.64a,b, and 3.92±0.70a mol/L; HDL-cholesterol concentrations were 1.32±0.32a,b, 1.32±0.35b, 1.36±0.33a, 1.32±0.33b, and 1.32±0.32a,b mol/L for the SO, LoSFA-SO, HiOleic-SO, LoALA-SO, and Hydrog-SO diets, respectively (values with different superscript letters are significantly different, P&lt;0.05). No significant effects were observed on VLDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerol, lipoprotein(a), and C-reactive protein concentrations or on ratios of LDL cholesterol to apolipoprotein B (apo B) and HDL cholesterol to apo A-I. Total cholesterol:HDL cholesterol was lower after subjects consumed the unhydrogenated soybean oils than after they consumed the Hydrog-SO diet. Conclusions: All varieties of soybean oils resulted in more favorable lipoprotein profiles than did the partially hydrogenated form. These soybean oils may provide a viable option for reformulation of products to reduce the content of trans fatty acids.

N2  - To determine the prevalence of Giardia genotypes in 12-24 month old dairy heifers, fecal specimens were collected from two farms each in Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Specimens, cleaned of fecal debris and concentrated using CsCl density gradient centrifugation, were subjected to PCR and DNA sequence analysis. Prevalence of Giardia infection, ranged from 11% to 75% on 14 farms with an average prevalence of 36% (204 positive cattle out of 571 examined). DNA sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed 91% of the 204 Giardia isolates were Assemblage E, and 9% were Assemblage A. The prevalence of these genotypes varied greatly from farm to farm, with four farms having exclusively Assemblage E Giardia. Overall, Assemblage E was present in 33% of all animals tested and Assemblage A was present in 3% of the animals. Thus, while many of the heifers were infected with a genotype that is not known to be infectious for humans, 1-2 year old heifers on 10 of 14 farms did harbor zoonotic Assemblage A Giardia. Therefore, heifers cannot be overlooked as a potential source of human infectious cysts in the environment, with some farms representing a much higher risk than others.

N2  - The ability of two non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Link isolates (CT3 and K49) to reduce aflatoxin contamination of corn was assessed in a 4-year field study (2001-2004). Soil was treated with six wheat inoculant treatments: aflatoxigenic isolate F3W4; two non-aflatoxigenic isolates (CT3 and K49); two mixtures of CT3 or K49 with F3W4; and an autoclaved wheat control, applied at 20 kg ha-1. In 2001, inoculation with the aflatoxigenic isolate increased corn grain aflatoxin levels by 188% compared to the non-inoculated control, while CT3 and K49 inoculation reduced aflatoxin levels in corn grain by 86 and 60%, respectively. In 2002, the non-toxigenic CT3 and K49 reduced aflatoxin levels by 61 and 76% compared to non-inoculated controls, respectively. In 2001, mixtures of aflatoxigenic and non-aflatoxigenic isolates had little effect on aflatoxin levels, but in 2002, inoculation with mixtures of K49 and CT3 reduced aflatoxin levels 68 and 37% compared to non-inoculated controls, respectively. In 2003 and 2004, a low level of natural aflatoxin contamination was observed (8 ng g-1). However, inoculation with mixtures of K49+F3W4 and CT3+F3W4, reduced levels of aflatoxin 65-94% compared to the aflatoxigenic strain alone. Compared to the non-sclerotia producing CT3, strain K49 produces large sclerotia, has more rapid in vitro radial growth, and a greater ability to colonize corn when artificially inoculated, perhaps indicating greater ecological competence. Results indicate that non-aflatoxigenic, indigenous A. flavus isolates, such as strain K49, have potential use for biocontrol of aflatoxin contamination in southern US corn.

N2  - Conjugation of haptens to proteins and enzymes is essential for the production of antibodies and development of ELISAs for these low molecular weight compounds. In this study, protein conjugates of several carboxylic haptens were prepared using the peptide synthesis reagent, 2-morpholinoethylisocyanide. The haptens included derivatives of benzimidazole and pyridoxine. The main advantage of this conjugation procedure is its simplicity involving only small volumes of water-miscible organic reagents. The resulting conjugates were purified by dialysis and could be used to elicit antibodies and establish immunoassays.

N2  - Interest in anthocyanins has increased immensely during the past decade. From these studies, it is clear that anthocyanins have unique properties. Anthocyanins are absorbed intact and absorption can be saturated; acylation of anthocyanins lowers their apparent absorption; anthocyanidin diglycosides in the form of sambubioside or rutinoside impart increased stability to the anthocyanin molecule; and the quantities excreted in urine are less than 0.1% of intake. However, 60-90% of the anthocyanins may disappear from the gastrointestinal tract within 4 h after a meal. What happens to the bulk of the anthocyanins that disappear is not clear. Degradation accounts for a part of this disappearance, but differs for the various aglycones and may be modified further by the nature of the aglycone glycosylation, which further complicates our understanding of this process. Anthocyanins may play an important role in health promotion in terms of obesity prevention, cardiovascular health, antiinflammatory and anticancer effects.

N2  - Food assistance programmes in the USA provide low-income households with the resources to purchase a healthy, nutritious, and palatable diet, if they buy the market baskets of food outlined in the Thrifty Food Plan. This study compares the cost of these baskets with actual spending on food at home by low-income households. Simulations reveal at-home food spending by low-income households to represent only 86% of what is needed to follow the Thrifty Food Plan. Married couples with children and female-headed households with children spend only 73% and 82%, respectively, and just 43% and 50% for at-home fruits and vegetables.

N2  - Background: Arginine is important in the response to infections and is a precursor for the synthesis of the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO). Low plasma arginine is correlated with a worse prognosis in patients with sepsis, and increased NO has been implicated in the hypotension of sepsis. Data on in vivo arginine and NO kinetics are lacking in hypotensive septic adults. Objective: We aimed to measure in vivo arginine production and the intravascular NO synthesis rate in hypotensive septic patients. Design: Arginine flux and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of plasma NO were measured in fasted healthy (n=10) and hypotensive septic (n=6) adults by using a 6-h constant infusion of [15N2-guanidino]arginine. Urinary excretion of the NO metabolites nitrite and nitrate (NOx) and plasma concentrations of NOx, arginine, and creatinine were also measured. Results: All patients had hyperdynamic septic shock and impaired renal function. Compared with the control subjects, the patients had slower arginine flux (99±8 compared with 50±7 µmol . kg-1 . h-1; P&lt;0.01), lower plasma arginine concentrations (75±8 compared with 40±11 µmol/L; P&lt;0.01), higher plasma NOx concentrations (30±4 compared with 65±1.8 µmol/L), and a slower fractional synthesis rate of NOx. There was no significant difference in the absolute synthesis rate of NOx between groups. In patients with sepsis, the plasma NOx concentration correlated with the glomerular filtration rate and plasma creatinine but not with mean arterial pressure. Conclusions: Patients with septic shock have a shortage in the availability of arginine associated with a slower production. Impaired renal excretion of NOx is a contributor to the high plasma NOx in these patients.

N2  - Background: Although hepcidin is proposed as a regulator of iron absorption, this has not been assessed in humans. Objective: Our objective was to assess the relation between serum or urinary prohepcidin and iron absorption in healthy premenopausal women. Design: The subjects were 28 healthy women aged 22-51 y with normal hemoglobin concentrations (120-152 g/L). Absorption of 0.5 mg Fe with 0.2 µCi 59Fe tracer, both as FeSO4, was measured by whole-body scintillation counting 13 d after oral administration. Fasting blood and urine samples were collected the day of and 16 wk after the absorption measurement. Serum and urinary prohepcidin concentrations were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using an antibody against amino acid residues 28-47 of the proregion. Results: Mean (±SD) iron absorption was 36±19% (range: 4-81%), and serum ferritin (geometric x) was 27 µg/L (range: 4-122 µg/L), as commonly observed in healthy premenopausal women. Serum prohepcidin was 196 µg/L (range: 99-376 µg/L) and, in contrast with urinary prohepcidin, was relatively consistent for the women between 0 and 16 wk. Serum prohepcidin correlated directly with serum ferritin (R2=0.28, P&lt;0.01) but was unrelated to 59Fe absorption, in contrast to serum ferritin (R2=0.33, P&lt;0.01). Conclusions: Serum prohepcidin concentrations were relatively stable within subjects and correlated with serum ferritin. However, unlike serum ferritin, neither serum nor urinary prohepcidin concentrations were related to iron absorption in healthy women.

N2  - Background: Although nutritionally dispensable amino acids are not essential in the diet, from a biochemical standpoint, dispensable amino acids such as glycine are essential for life. This is especially true under unique circumstances, such as when the availability of labile nitrogen for dispensable amino acid synthesis is reduced, as in severe childhood undernutrition. Objective: We aimed to measure glycine production in children with edematous and nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition. Design: Glycine flux and splanchnic glycine extraction were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n=8) and nonedematous (n=9) severe childhood undernutrition when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they were recovered (clinical phase 3). Results: Total and endogenous glycine flux and splanchnic glycine uptake did not differ significantly between the edematous and nonedematous groups during any clinical phase. In both groups of subjects, none of the glycine kinetic parameters changed significantly from clinical phase 1 through phases 2 and 3. Compared with the value at clinical phase 3, plasma glycine concentrations were not significantly lower during clinical phase 1 or 2 in either group. Conclusions: These findings suggest that children with severe childhood undernutrition can increase their de novo glycine synthesis to compensate for the reduced contribution from chronic food deprivation. The maintenance of the plasma glycine concentration suggests that the rate of glycine production was sufficient to satisfy metabolic demands in these children when they were acutely undernourished and infected.

N2  - Dementia and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are major causes of disability in the elderly. n-3 Fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are highly concentrated in brain and retinal tissue and may prevent or delay the progression of dementia and AMD. Low dietary intakes and plasma concentrations have been reported to be associated with dementia, cognitive decline, and AMD risk. The major dietary sources of DHA are fish and fish oils, although dietary supplements are available. At this point, it is not possible to make firm recommendations regarding n-3 fatty acids and the prevention of dementia and AMD. Our own unpublished observations from the Framingham Heart Study suggest that ≥180 mg/d of dietary DHA (~2.7 fish servings/wk) is associated with an ~50% reduction in dementia risk. At least this amount of DHA is generally found in one commercially available 1-g fish oil capsule given daily.

N2  - Background: Little is known about the association between dietary carbohydrates and cataract in nondiabetic persons. Objective: The aim was to test whether recent dietary carbohydrate intakes or glycemic index (GI; a measure of carbohydrate intake quality) was associated with the presence of cortical or nuclear opacities. Design: A modified Block food-frequency questionnaire was used to obtain dietary information from 3377 participants (aged 60-80 y; 56% were women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). Lens status was evaluated by using the AREDS System for Classifying Cataracts. Associations were examined for eyes with only a single, or pure, type of lens opacity by using the generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the eyes of a person. Results: For participants in the highest quartile, dietary GI was associated with a higher prevalence of all pure nuclear opacities [grade &gt;2; odds ratio (OR): 1.29; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.59; P for trend=0.02] and moderate nuclear opacities (grade ≥4; OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.96, 2.14; P for trend=0.052). The OR in a comparison of the highest with the lowest quartile of intake was 1.27 (95% CI: 0.99, 1.63; P for trend=0.09) for cortical opacities of any severity (&gt;0% of area opaque), and the OR increased somewhat for moderate cortical opacities (&gt;5% of area opaque; OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.00, 2.95; P for trend=0.056). Conclusions: Results from the cross-sectional analysis of AREDS baseline data suggest that dietary glycemic quality and dietary carbohydrate quantity may be associated with prevalent nuclear and cortical opacities, respectively.

N2  - Background: Vitamin D status affects immune function and thus may affect the progress of HIV infection. Objectives: Our goals were to assess vitamin D intake and status in subjects with HIV infection and in matched control subjects and to determine whether HIV infection was associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Design: Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and vitamin D intake were measured in a cross-sectional study of members of the Reaching for Excellence in Adolescent Health (REACH) cohort. Results: The subjects were aged 14-23 y; 74% were female, and 72% were black. Mean (±SE) vitamin D intake from food was 30% greater (P=0.023) in HIV-positive subjects (295±18 IU/d; n=237) than in HIV-negative subjects (227±26 IU/d; n=121). The prevalence of vitamin D supplement use was 29% (104 of 358 subjects) and did not differ significantly by HIV status (P=0.87). Mean plasma 25(OH)D did not differ significantly (P=0.62) between the HIV-positive (20.3±1.1 nmol/L; n=238) and HIV-negative (19.3±1.7 nmol/L; n=121) subjects, nor was HIV status a significant predictor of plasma 25(OH)D when multiple regression analysis was used to adjust for other variables. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency [plasma 25(OH)D≤37.5 nmol/L] in the subjects was 87% (312 of 359 subjects). Conclusions: HIV infection did not influence vitamin D status. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative REACH subjects was high, perhaps because these disadvantaged, largely urban youth have limited sun exposure.

N2  - Banana (Musa sp.) and papaya (Carica papaya) cultivars were harvested from different locations throughout Hawaii and analysed for vitamin C (ascorbic acid), provitamin A (β-carotene, α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin), and mineral composition. Dwarf Brazilian ("apple") bananas had almost three times more vitamin C (12.7 mg/100 g fresh weight) than Williams fruit (4.5 mg/100 g). Also, Dwarf Brazilian bananas had 96.9 µg β-carotene and 104.9 µg α-carotene/100 g, whereas Williams fruit averaged 55.7 µg β-carotene and 84.0 µg α-carotene/100 g. Bananas contained higher concentrations of lutein than of the provitamin A pigments, α- and β-carotene. Papaya vitamin C content was 51.2 mg/100 g, with no differences among cultivars. Papaya provitamin A carotenoids averaged 232.3 µg β-carotene and 594.3 µg β-cryptoxanthin/100 g, and vitamin A ranged from 18.7 to 74.0 µg RAE/100 g. Lycopene was not detected in the yellow-fleshed cultivars, Kapoho, Laie Gold, and Rainbow, but the red-fleshed Sunrise and SunUp fruit contained 1350-3674 µg lycopene/100 g. Dwarf Brazilian bananas had higher P, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn contents than Williams fruit. The average K content for Hawaii's bananas was 330.6 mg/100 g. Papayas (100 g) contained 9% of the dietary reference intake (DRI) for Cu, 6-8% of the DRI for Mg, but less than 3% of the DRI for other minerals.

N2  - Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease of mammals; it exacerbates the uncertainty of conserving populations of some threatened mammals (TM). Modelling affords an inexpensive, a priori way of studying key parameters of wildlife rabies transmission, rabies management economics, and TM conservation. Numerous models of rabies transmission have been published. Linear density dependent models predicted that a threshold density (KT≤1.0), possibly attained by culling or contraception, would eliminate an epizootic through reduced contacts among host animals. Density independent models predicted less advantage of culling and contraception in rabies control due to limited contacts among territorial host animals. Recent stochastic, mixed models offer novel predictions about the role of culling, fertility control, and oral rabies vaccination (ORV) in disease management. Use of a "threshold successful contact" rate (CT) as a parameter in these models predicts that density reduction of host animals will enhance ORV campaigns in non-TM contexts via more efficient bait delivery and vaccination. Economic analyses of medical, public health, and veterinary costs have shown post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and increased pet vaccinations (PV) to be major rabies-caused expenses during and after epizootics in North America. No modelling efforts have examined either the benefits-costs of rabies management strategies to conserve TM or the use of ORV, per se, to conserve TM - an omission due in part to the lack of methodologies for properly valuing TM (potential savings) and the expense or lower priority of using ORV for TM protection. This paper: (1) describes key aspects of rabies-transmission models in wildlife, (2) posits the use of CT to predict disease persistence, (3) reviews selected ORV strategies, economic studies, and benefit-cost models associated with the use of ORV as a means of rabies control in non-TM situations, (4) discusses implications of these models to the conservation of TM, and (5) recommends five steps to improve modelling of rabies transmission (wildlife disease in general), rabies-control economics, and TM conservation.

N2  - Dietary fatty acids modulate plasma and intracellular cholesterol concentrations. Circulating non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (nHDL-C) concentration is determined by rates of hepatic very low-density lipoprotein assembly and secretion, and clearance of subsequent metabolic products. The effect of dietary fat (butter, traditional margarine, soyabean oil, and canola oil) was assessed with respect to plasma lipids, hepatic lipid composition, and messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) 2, and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in the Golden-Syrian hamster (Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA). Hamsters were fed with a nonpurified diet (6.25 fat g/100 g) with 0.1 g cholesterol/100 g (control diet) or control diet with an additional 10 g experimental fat/100 g for 12 weeks. Hamsters fed with the control diet, unsaturated fats (canola and soyabean oils), and margarine, relative to butter, had significantly lower total cholesterol and nHDL-C and triglyceride concentrations. Additional dietary fat, regardless of fatty acid profile, resulted in higher hepatic cholesterol concentrations. In contrast, relative to the control diet-, butter-, or margarine-fed hamsters, these changes were associated with a 4- and 8-fold higher LDL receptor and 5- and 9-fold higher SREBP mRNA abundance, in hamsters fed with canola and soyabean oils, respectively. MTP mRNA, a marker of very low-density lipoprotein particle formation, was higher in canola- and soyabean oil-fed hamsters relative to the control diet-fed hamsters, although differences were modest. These results suggest that the substitution of canola and soyabean oils for butter results in lower nHDL-C concentrations that may be related to increased mRNA abundance of the LDL receptor, SREBP-2, and MTP genes.

N2  - Phylogeny is fundamental as it constrains explanations about history and forms our foundation for recognizing and diagnosing species. In the absence of such a framework taxonomists historically relied on intuitive processes, personal judgment and authority, often embracing a typological view of species that disregarded otherwise unequivocal historical and biological criteria. Species of Taenia are among the most characteristic tapeworms infecting carnivores and humans as definitive hosts and indeed Taeniidae is unique among the Eucestoda in requiring 2 obligate mammalian hosts for transmission; a high percentage (&gt;80%) of life cycles have been completely elucidated among the approximately 45 species and nominal subspecies of Taenia. Until recently there had been no comprehensive attempts at reconstruction of a phylogeny among these important parasites. Such analyses have allowed us to explore the origins and evolution of those independent species of Taenia that occur in humans (T. saginata, T. asiatica, and T. solium) and to understand the ecological and historical processes serving as determinants of biogeography and host-association. These studies supported the status of T. asiatica as a valid species and diagnosed a relationship as the sister-species of T. saginata. These conclusions contrasted with a diversity of opinions that would subsume T. asiatica as a subspecies. Recognition of a species constitutes a specific and testable hypothesis, is not an arbitrary decision and is most appropriately assessed in the context of phylogenetic or historical data. Considering macrospecies, a process has been outlined by Brooks and McLennan [Brooks DR, McLennan DA. The nature of diversity: an evolutionary voyage of discovery. University of Chicago Press: Chicago; 2002] as follows: (1) Discovery: a systematist describes the species; (2) Phylogenetic reconstruction; (3) Evaluation I: do sister-species show geographical overlap - are they sympatric or allopatric (use phylogeny+geographical distributions)? (4) Evaluation II: are sister-species reproductively isolated based on information from natural history, ecology and reproductive biology? Species may be viewed in the context of microevolutionary and macroevolutionary processes. For instance, microspecies are defined in ecological time and involve populations and contemporary process that are potentially reversible (reticulate). In contrast, macrospecies as exemplified by T. saginata and T. asiatica are divergent lineages resulting from processes in evolutionary time where an ancestor has undergone a permanent split that is non-reversible (non-reticulate). Applying these criteria in evaluation of T. saginata and T. asiatica, it becomes clear that in evolutionary time these represent historical lineages with independent spatial and temporal trajectories, having separated from a common ancestor near 0.78 to 1.71 MYBP in Africa, or Eurasia. In ecological time, sympatry, reproductive isolation, and differences in life history evident for T. saginata and T. asiatica as observed in China, and perhaps other regions of Southeast Asia, further serve to validate these taeniids.

N2  - Microbiological sampling of processed broiler carcasses often relies on the technique of whole-carcass rinsing; however, the rinse sampling is sometimes done immediately after immersion chilling and sometimes as long as 24 h after immersion chilling. To test whether carcass rinses done immediately after chilling can be compared with rinses 24 h after chilling, 20 whole broiler carcasses exiting the chiller of a broiler processing plant were sampled on each of 3 d. All carcasses were bagged aseptically and rinsed for 1 min in 400 mL of sterile water. Recovered rinse liquid was poured into a sterile container, and rinsed carcasses were placed in clean plastic bags; all materials were held overnight at 4°C. On the following day, all carcasses were rinsed again in 400 mL of sterile water as before, and all rinse samples were cultured by standard methods to enumerate coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter and to determine incidence of Salmonella. Statistical analysis used paired comparisons between the same carcasses rinsed at 0 and 24 h after chilling; numbers of bacteria were expressed as log cfu/mL of rinse. In 2 of 3 replications, significantly higher numbers of coliforms and E. coli were found in the rinse samples taken immediately after chilling vs. rinse samples done at 24 h. There were no differences in numbers of Campylobacter or incidence of Salmonella between rinses taken at 0 and 24 h. More study is required to determine whether whole-carcass rinse samples performed at 0 and 24 h after chilling are microbiologically equivalent.

N2  - Recent discoveries, notably of the hormones leptin and adiponectin, have revised the notion that adipocytes are simply a storage depot for body energy. Instead, adipocytes are also endocrine organs, with multiple metabolic roles in regulating whole-body physiology. Small adipocytes in lean individuals promote metabolic homeostasis; the enlarged adipocytes of obese individuals recruit macrophages and promote inflammation and the release of a range of factors that predispose toward insulin resistance. Exercise activates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in muscle and other tissues, a pathway that increases fat oxidation and glucose transport. Importantly, the adipocyte hormones leptin and adiponectin also activate AMPK; remarkably, the same pathway is activated by certain antidiabetic agents such as thiazolidinediones. Increasingly, our understanding of the adipocyte as an endocrine organ is leading to new insights into obesity and health.

N2  - Campylobacter coli is a food-borne pathogen associated increasingly with human gastroenteritis. C. coli has a high prevalence in swine, but is isolated also from cattle and poultry. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been developed to differentiate C. coli strains. Although substantial allelic diversity was identified across all seven C. coli MLST loci, no correlations were made in two previous studies between allele or sequence type (ST) and the source of the organism. However, this may be due to either the relatively small number or the low diversity of C. coli strains used to validate both MLST studies. This study describes the typing of 488 C. coli strains from 4 different food animal sources (cattle, chickens, swine and turkeys), collected at different times over a 6 year period from different USA geographical locations. A total of 149 STs were identified. The 185 swine strains were the most diverse, possessing 82 STs. The cattle strains were the most clonal; 52/63 (83%) strains possessed a single ST (ST-1068). A subpopulation of C. coli strains, collected primarily from turkeys, was identified, containing both C. coli- and Campylobacter jejuni-associated MLST alleles, specifically the C. jejuni allele aspA103. The majority of STs and alleles were host associated, i.e. found primarily in strains from a single food-animal source. Only 12/149 (8%) STs were found in multiple sources. Additionally, the majority (34/46, 74%) of major (n&gt;5) alleles were more prevalent in certain hosts (swine, poultry). The presence of host-associated C. coli MLST alleles could lead potentially to more efficient source tracking in this species, especially in the trace-back of both sporadic and outbreak human clinical C. coli strains to animal sources.

N2  - This chapter describes a simple, fast, and inexpensive method for the determination of pesticides in foods and potentially other matrices. The method, known as the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method for pesticide residues involves the extraction of the sample with acetonitrile (MeCN) containing 1% acetic acid (HAc) and simultaneous liquid-liquid partitioning formed by adding anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) plus sodium acetate (NaAc), followed by a simple cleanup step known as dispersive solid-phase extraction (dispersive-SPE). The QuEChERS method is carried out by shaking a fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) centrifuge tube that contains 1 mL 1% HAc in MeCN plus 0.4 g anhydrous MgSO4 and 0.1 g anhydrous NaAc per gram wet sample. The tube is then centrifuged, and a portion of the extract is transferred to a tube containing 50 mg primary secondary amine (PSA) and 50 mg C18 sorbents plus 150 mg anhydrous MgSO4 per milliliter extract (the dispersive-SPE cleanup step). Then, the extract is centrifuged and transferred to autosampler vials for concurrent analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Different options in the protocol are possible depending on alternate analytical instrumentation available, desired limit of quantitation (LOQ), scope of targeted pesticides, and matrices tested.

N2  - Clostridium perfringens growth from a spore inoculum was investigated in vacuum-packaged, cook-in-bag marinated chicken breast that included 0%, 1.5%, 3%, or 4.8% sodium lactate (NaL; w/w). The packages were processed to an internal temperature of 71.1°C, ice chilled and stored at 4, 19, and 25°C. The total C. perfringens population was determined by plating diluted samples on Tryptose-sulfite-cycloserine agar followed by anaerobic incubation for 48 h at 37°C. At 25°C, addition of 1.5% NaL was effective in delaying growth for 29 h. Increasing the NaL level to 4.8%, C. perfringens growth from a spore inoculum during storage at 25°C for 480 h was not observed. At 19°C, the growth was &gt;6 log10 cfu/g by 288 h in control samples. In samples with 3.0% or 4.8% NaL, the growth of C. perfringens from spores was dramatically restricted with little or no growth in 648 h at 19°C. C. perfringens growth was not observed at 4°C regardless of NaL concentration. The D-values at 55°C ranged from 47.40 (no NaL) to 57.58 min (1.5% NaL). Cyclic and static temperature abuse of refrigerated products for ≤20 h did not permit C. perfringens growth. However, temperature abuse of products for periods 24 h or longer in the absence of NaL led to growth of C. perfringens from a spore inoculum. An extra degree of safety may be assured in such products by supplementation with NaL at 1.5-4.8% NaL level.

N2  - A whole-genome sequence analysis of Listeria monocytogenes strain F2365 revealed 15 potential members of the Crp/Fnr family of transcriptional regulatory proteins. Each gene and the flanking regions were cloned, subjected to in vitro transpositional mutagenesis, and recombined into strain F2365. Mutant strains, produced for 14 of the family members, were compared to strain F2365 for differences in carbon utilization, resistance to oxidative stress, and growth under reduced oxygen conditions that would signal an Fnr- or Crp-like function for these proteins. There were no differences among strain F2365 and the 14 mutant strains in the utilization of the carbon sources readily utilized by L. monocytogenes. Although strain KO2 had a reduced growth rate compared to strain F2365 and the other mutant strains at 30° but not at 37°C, there were no differences in growth rates among strain F2365 and the mutant strains when incubated at either 30 or 37°C under reduced oxygen conditions. However, when compared for differences in response to oxidative stress, mutants KO2 and KO5 showed reduced oxidative stress tolerance compared to the wild-type strain F2365. These results suggest that certain members of the putative Crp/Fnr family in L. monocytogenes may function in response to oxidative stress similar to the Fnr-like protein (Flp) of other Gram-positive bacteria.

N2  - There are many reports of disease due to consumption of cantaloupes contaminated at the surface with enteric pathogens. Salmonella is among the most frequently reported cause of foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the United States. Research was undertaken to determine the effects of sanitizer and hot water treatments on microbial populations on cantaloupe surfaces and to determine whether prior decontamination of melons by sanitizer treatment affects vulnerability to recontamination by Salmonella. Cantaloupes were sanitized with 200 ppm chlorine or 2.5% hydrogen peroxide solution for 2 min, or hot water (96°C) for 2 min and were held at 5°C for 24 h. Hot water treatments reduced the microbial populations on cantaloupe surface by 4.9 log reduction while H2O2 or chlorine caused approximately 2.6 log unit reduction on cantaloupe surfaces. When sanitized or hot water treated whole cantaloupes were re-inoculated with Salmonella. Higher populations of Salmonella were recovered from sanitized cantaloupes than from the untreated controls; recovery was greater from hot water treated cantaloupes than from cantaloupes treated with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide. The results of this study clearly show that sanitized cantaloupes are susceptible to recontamination if exposed to a human bacterial pathogen during subsequent handling.

AB  - Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is endemic in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the northeastern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Bovine TB in deer and cattle has created immense fi nancial consequences for the livestock industry and hunting public. Surveillance identifi ed coyotes (Canis latrans) as potential bio-accumulators of Mycobacterium bovis, a fi nding that generated interest in their potential to serve as sentinels for monitoring disease risk. We sampled 175 coyotes in the bovine TB--endemic area. Fifty-eight tested positive, and infection prevalence by county ranged from 19% to 52% (statistical mean 33%, SE 0.07). By contrast, prevalence in deer (n = 3,817) was lower (i.e., 1.49%; Mann-Whitney U4,4 = 14, p<0.001). By focusing on coyotes rather than deer, we sampled 97% fewer individuals and increased the likelihood of detecting M. bovis by 40%. As a result of reduced sampling intensity, sentinel coyote surveys have the potential to be practical indicators of M. bovis presence in wildlife and livestock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are common, widely distributed animals that frequently come into contact with wild waterfowl, agricultural operations, and humans. Serosurveys showed that raccoons are exposed to avian influenza virus. We found antibodies to a variety of influenza virus subtypes (H10N7, H4N6, H4N2, H3, and H1) with wide geographic variation in seroprevalence. Experimental infection studies showed that raccoons become infected with avian and human influenza A viruses, shed and transmit virus to virus-free animals, and seroconvert. Analyses of cellular receptors showed that raccoons have avian and human type receptors with a similar distribution as found in human respiratory tracts. The potential exists for co-infection of multiple subtypes of influenza virus with genetic reassortment and creation of novel strains of influenza virus. Experimental and field data indicate that raccoons may play an important role in influenza disease ecology and pose risks to agriculture and human health.

AB  - The North is a frontier for exploration of emerging infectious diseases and the large-scale drivers influencing distribution, host associations, and evolution of pathogens among persons, domestic animals, and wildlife. Leading into the International Polar Year 2007-2008, we outline approaches, protocols, and empirical models derived from a decade of integrated research on northern host-parasite systems. Investigations of emerging infectious diseases associated with parasites in northern wildlife involved a network of multidisciplinary collaborators and incorporated geographic surveys, archival collections, historical foundations for diversity, and laboratory and field studies exploring the interface for hosts, parasites, and the environment. In this system, emergence of parasitic disease was linked to geographic expansion, host switching, resurgence due to climate change, and newly recognized parasite species. Such integrative approaches serve as cornerstones for detection, prediction, and potential mitigation of emerging infectious diseases in wildlife and persons in the North and elsewhere under a changing global climate.

AB  - Sixty samples of 'ForagePlus' oat were selected from a previous plot study for analysis of in vitro gas production (IVGP) on the basis of 2 factors: (1) high (n = 29) or low (n = 31) neutral detergent fiber (NDF; 62.7 ± 2.61 and 45.1 ± 3.91%, respectively); and (2) the range of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) within the high- and low-NDF groups. For the WSC selection factor, concentrations ranged from 4.7 to 13.4% (mean = 7.9 ± 2.06%) and from 3.5 to 19.4% (mean = 9.7 ± 4.57%) within high- and low-NDF forages, respectively. Our objectives were to assess the relationships between IVGP and various agronomic or nutritional characteristics for high- and low-NDF fall-oat forages. Cumulative IVGP was fitted to a single-pool nonlinear regression model: Y = MAX x (1 - e [-K x (t - lag)]), where Y = cumulative gas produced (mL), MAX = maximum cumulative gas produced with infinite incubation time (mL), K = rate constant, t = incubation time (h), and lag = discrete lag time (h). Generally, cumulative IVGP after 12, 24, 36, or 48 h within high-NDF fall-oat forages was negatively correlated with NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash, but positively correlated with WSC, nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). For low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, IVGP was positively correlated with growth stage, canopy height, WSC, NFC, and TDN; negative correlations were observed with ash and crude protein (CP) but not generally with fiber components. These responses were also reflected in multiple regression analysis for high- and low-NDF forages. After 12, 24, or 36 h of incubation, cumulative IVGP within high-NDF fall-oat forages was explained by complex regression equations utilizing (lignin:NDF)2, lignin:NDF, hemicellulose, lignin, and TDN2 as independent variables (R² ≥ 0.43). Within low-NDF fall-grown oat forages, cumulative IVGP at these incubation intervals was explained by positive linear relationships with NFC that also exhibited high coefficients of determination (R² ≥ 0.75). Gas production was accelerated at early incubation times within low-NDF forages, specifically in response to large pools of WSC that were most likely to be present as forages approached boot stage by late-fall.

AB  - A feeding study was conducted to evaluate ruminal effects of starch source (STA) and rumen-degradable dietary protein (RDP) in diets with added sucrose. The experimental design was an incomplete Latin square with three 21-d periods, 8 ruminally cannulated lactating cows, and a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Treatments were STA (dry ground corn or high-moisture corn) as more slowly and more rapidly fermenting starch sources, respectively, and relative amount of RDP (+RDP: added protein from soybean meal; --RDP: heat-treated expeller soybean product partially substituted for soybean meal). Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and similar in starch and neutral detergent fiber concentrations. Dry matter (DM) intake was 1 kg greater with +RDP compared with --RDP diets. For ruminal digesta measures made 2 h postfeeding, weight of digesta DM was unaffected by treatment; total kilograms of wet digesta and kilograms of liquid tended to be greater with +RDP than with --RDP, and no effect was observed of STA x RDP. Digesta DM percentage was greater with --RDP than with +RDP. At 2 h postfeeding, ruminal pool sizes (mol) of lactate and total AA were larger and those of total organic acids (OA) and ammonia tended to be larger with +RDP than with --RDP; no effects of STA or STA x RDP were detected. Rumen-degradable protein effects on lactate and OA pool sizes may be due to a protein-mediated increase in fermentation rate of carbohydrate. Organic acid concentrations at 2 h postfeeding did not show the same response pattern or significance as the pool size data; high-moisture corn tended to be greater than dry ground corn and no effect was observed for RDP or STA x RDP. Concentration and pool size for OA were more weakly correlated [coefficient of determination (R²) = 0.66] than was the case for other ruminal analytes (R² >0.80). Organic acid pool size and kilograms of digesta liquid were strongly correlated (R² = 0.79), whereas concentration and kilograms of liquid were much less so (R² = 0.21). The correlation of OA moles with kilograms of liquid likely relates to the homeostatic mechanism of water flux across the rumen wall to reduce the osmotic gradient with blood as intraruminal moles of solute change. This action compresses the range of ruminal OA concentrations. With kilograms of ruminal liquid differing across individual measurements, the ruminal OA concentration data are not on the equivalent basis required to be reliably useful for assessing the effect of treatments. Further evaluation of protein effects on carbohydrate fermentation and of methods that allow accurate comparison of treatments for their effect on ruminal OA production are warranted.

AB  - The US dairy industry has realized tremendous improvements in efficiencies and milk production since the 1940s. During this time, farm and total cow numbers have decreased and average herd size has increased. This intensification, combined with the shift to a largely urban public, has resulted in increased scrutiny of the dairy industry by social and environmental movements and increased concern regarding the dairy industry's sustainability. In response to these concerns, a group of scientists specializing in animal welfare, nutrient management, greenhouse gas emissions, animal science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, microbiology, and economics undertook a critical review of the US dairy industry. Although the US dairy system was identified as having significant strengths, the consensus was that the current structure of the industry lacks the resilience to adapt to changing social and environmental landscapes. We identified several factors affecting the sustainability of the US dairy industry, including climate change, rapid scientific and technological innovation, globalization, integration of societal values, and multidisciplinary research initiatives. Specific challenges include the westward migration of milk production in the United States (which is at odds with projected reductions in precipitation and associated limitations in water availability for cattle and crops), and the growing divide between industry practices and public perceptions, resulting in less public trust. Addressing these issues will require improved alignment between industry practices and societal values, based upon leadership from within the industry and sustained engagement with other interested participants, including researchers, consumers, and the general public.

AB  - Garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) belongs to the monocot family Asparagaceae in the order Asparagales. Onion (Allium cepa L.) and Asparagus officinalis are 2 of the most economically important plants of the core Asparagales, a well supported monophyletic group within the Asparagales. Coding regions in onion have lower GC contents than the grasses. We compared the GC content of 3374 unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from A. officinalis with Lycorislongituba and onion (both members of the core Asparagales), Acorusamericanus (sister to all other monocots), the grasses, and Arabidopsis. Although ESTs in A. officinalis and Acorus had a higher average GC content than Arabidopsis,Lycoris, and onion, all were clearly lower than the grasses. The Asparagaceae have the smallest nuclear genomes among all plants in the core Asparagales, which typically have huge genomes. Within the Asparagaceae, European Asparagus species have approximately twice the nuclear DNA of that of southern African Asparagus species. We cloned and sequenced 20 genomic amplicons from European A. officinalis and the southern African species Asparagus plumosus and observed no clear evidence for a recent genome doubling in A. officinalis relative to A. plumosus. These results indicate that members of the genus Asparagus with smaller genomes may be useful genomic models for plants in the core Asparagales. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - L'asperge comestible (Asparagus officinalis L.) appartient à la famille monocotylédone des Asparagacées au sein de l'ordre des Asparagales. L'oignon (Allium cepa L.) et l'A. officinalis sont 2 des plantes les plus importantes sur le plan économique au sein des Asparagales nucléaires, 1 groupe monophylétique bien supporté au sein des Asparagales. Les régions codantes chez l'oignon ont un contenu en GC plus faible que chez les graminées. Les auteurs ont comparé le contenu en GC de 3374 EST (étiquettes de séquences exprimées) uniques de l'A. officinalis avec ceux observés chez le Lycorislongituba et l'oignon (2 autres membres des Asparagales nucléaires), l'Acorusamericanus (apparentée à toutes les autres monocotylédones), les graminées et l'Arabidopsis. Bien que les EST chez l'A. officinalis et l'Acorus présentaient un contenu en GC plus élevé que chez l'Arabidopsis, le Lycoris et l'oignon, le contenu en GC chez tous ceux-ci étaient nettement plus faible que chez les graminées. Les Asparagacées ont les plus petits génomes nucléaires au sein des plantes appartenant aux Asparagales nucléaires, lesquelles ont typiquement d'énormes génomes. Au sein des Asparagacées, les espèces européennes de l'Asparagus ont environ 2 fois plus d'ADN nucléaire que les espèces d'Afrique méridionale. Les auteurs ont cloné et séquencé 20 amplicons génomiques chez des A. officinalis européennes et chez l'espèce africaine Asparagus plumosus et les auteurs n'ont observé aucune évidence d'un doublement génomique chez l'A. officinalis par rapport à l'A. plumosus. Ces résultats montrent que les membres du genre Asparagus qui ont un génome plus petit pourraient constituer des modèles génomiques utiles pour l'études des Asparagales nucléaires.

AB  - Aims:  To investigate the resuscitation of acid-injured Salmonella enterica in selected enrichment broths, in apple juice and on cut surfaces of apple and cucumber slices. Methods and Results:  Following exposure to 2·4% acetic acid for 7 min, S. enterica (serovars Mbandaka, Chester and Newport) cells were used to inoculate enrichment broths, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), apple juice and fruit slices. Injured Salmonella cells resuscitated and regained the ability to form colonies on selective agar (Xylose-Lysine-Tergitol® 4) if they were incubated in lactose broth (LB), universal pre-enrichment broth (UPB) or buffered peptone water (BPW), but not in tetrathionate broth, PBS or apple juice. The resuscitation occurred at a significantly ( P > 0·05) faster rate in UPB than in LB or BPW. The resuscitation also occurred on the surfaces of fresh-cut cucumber at 20°C, but not at 4°C. Conclusions:  Acid-injured Salmonella cells resuscitated in nonselective enrichment broths at different rates, but not in selective enrichment broth, apple juice, PBS or on fresh-cut apple. Significance and Impact of the Study:  Pre-enrichment of food samples in UPB prior to selective enrichment is recommended. Injured Salmonella cells have the ability to resuscitate on fresh-cut surfaces of cucumber when stored at abusive temperatures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Willow (Salix) communities are important components of riparian ecosystems. However, browsing by livestock and wildlife species can negatively impact willow size and abundance, and make restoration efforts difficult. A common solution has been fencing of affected willows to exclude ungulates, but fencing is expensive and may not complement desirable land management strategies. An alternative to fencing is the use of structures that limit access to streamside willows, without excluding ungulate access to the entire riparian zone. We examined the use of felled western juniper trees (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) placed over streamside willow shrubs. Four replicates of felled western juniper treatments (covered) and noncovered treatments were applied to a 1.2-km length of stream in southeastern Oregon. Willows (< 2 m) within treatment areas were censused, tagged, examined for evidence of browse-use, and measured for maximum height during August 2002, before treatment. Posttreatment measurements were made in August and October 2003. Results indicate that by August 2003 (posttreatment) the average growth of willows in covered treatments was 25 cm (480%) greater than in noncovered treatments. By October 2003 (posttreatment), more shrubs were browsed in noncovered (84%) than covered (39%) treatments. Our data suggest that covering small willow shrubs (< 2 m tall) with felled western juniper is an effective deterrent to browsing. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Las comunidades de "Willow" (Salix) son componentes importantes de los ecosistemas ribereños. Sin embargo, el ramoneo del ganado y de especies de fauna silvestre puede impactar negativamente el tamaño y abundancia del "Willow" y dificultar las acciones de restauración de estos ecosistemas. Una solución común ha sido el cercar las plantas afectadas de "Willow" para excluirlas de los ungulados, pero el cercado es costoso y puede no complementar con estrategias deseables de manejo de la tierra. Una alternativa para cercar es el uso de estructuras que limitan el acceso a los "Willow" ubicados a un lado de la corriente, sin excluir el acceso de los ungulados al total de la zona ribereña. Examinamos el uso de árboles de "Western juniper" (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) cortados y colocados sobre los arbustos de "Willow" de un lado de la corriente. En una longitud de 1.2 km de una corriente de agua del sudeste de Oregon se aplicaron cuatro repeticiones de los tratamientos "Western juniper" cortado (cubierto) y sin cubrir. Los "Willows" (<2 m) presentes dentro del área experimental se censaron, etiquetaron y examinaron para ver evidencia de ramoneo y se midió la máxima altura en Agosto del 2002, antes de aplicarlos tratamientos. Las mediciones post-tratamiento fueron hechas en Agosto y Octubre del 2003. Los resultados indican que en Agosto del 2003 (post-tratamiento) el crecimiento promedio de los "Willows" cubiertos fue de 25 cm (480%) mayor que el de las plantas sin cubiertas. Para Octubre del 2003 (post-tratamiento), más arbustos fueron ramoneados en el tratamiento de plantas sin cubrir (84%) en comparación con el de plantas cubiertas (39%). Nuestros datos sugieren que cubriendo arbustos pequeños de "Willow" (< 2 m de altura) con "Western juniper" cortado es una barrera limitante del ramoneo. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1.  We incorporated spatial data on swift foxes ( Vulpes velox) with genetic analysis to assess the influence of relatedness between individuals on their social and spatial ecology. We recorded the space use patterns of 188 radio-collared swift foxes in south-eastern Colorado from January 1997 to December 2000. One hundred and sixty-seven foxes were also genotyped at 11 microsatellite DNA loci and the degree of relatedness between individuals was estimated. 2.  We described the genetic structure of the population by examining the relatedness of neighbours and the relationship between the spatial and genetic distance of all individuals. We found that close kin appeared to cluster within the population. Neighbours were significantly more related (mean R = 0·089 ± 0·01) than non-neighbours (mean R = 0·003 ± 0·01; randomization test, P < 0·0002). Female clusters were more extensive than male clusters. 3.  The degree of genetic relatedness among foxes was useful in explaining why foxes tolerated encroachment of their home ranges by neighbours; the more closely related neighbours were, the more home-range overlap they tolerated (Mantel test, P = 0·0004). Foxes did not appear to orientate their home ranges to avoid neighbours and home ranges overlapped by as much as 54·77% (x = 14·13% ± 0·41). Neighbours also occasionally engaged in concurrent den sharing. 4.  Relatedness influenced the likelihood that an individual would inherit a newly vacated home range, with a mean relatedness of range inheritors to previous owners of 0·333 ± 0·074. Thus, the genetic structure of the population and interactions between kin were interrelated to space-use patterns and social ecology of the swift fox. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A mini-dome bioassay was developed to study pathogenicity of Ascochyta rabiei and relative resistance of chickpea ( Cicer arietanium). It was determined that the best condition for assaying pathogenicity of A. rabiei was to use 2 × 105 spores/ml as inoculum and to maintain a leaf wetness period of 24 h under mini-domes at a temperature between 16 and 22°C. This mini-dome pathogenicity assay was used to determine relative resistance of six chickpea cultivars (cvs) to isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei. Grafting was employed to detect any translocated factors produced in the chickpea plant that mediate disease response, which could help elucidate possible resistance mechanisms to Ascochyta blight. The six chickpea cv. were grafted in all possible scion–rootstock combinations, and then inoculated with isolates of two pathotypes of A. rabiei using the mini-dome technique. Results showed that self-grafted-resistant plants remained resistant and self-grafted-susceptible plants stayed susceptible, indicating the grafting procedure did not alter host response to infection by A. rabiei. Susceptible scions always exhibited high and similar levels of disease severity regardless of rootstock genotypes, and resistant scions always showed low and similar levels of disease severity when they were grafted onto any of the six rootstock genotypes. Orthogonal contrasts showed that scion genotypes determined disease phenotype, and that rootstock genotypes had no contribution to disease phenotype of the scions. The pathogenicity assay did not detect any translocated disease-mediating agents responsible for susceptibility or resistance in chickpea. Disease phenotypes of Ascochyta blight of chickpea were conditioned locally by scion genotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims:  This study compared the chemical, physical and bacterial composition of circulated and stagnant dairy wastewaters. Methods and Results:  Samples taken from circulated and stagnant wastewater lagoons, over a 1-year period, were analysed for 10 chemical (total N, NH3, NO3, NO2, Na, Ca, HCO3, Fe, P and K) and six physical (biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH and sodium absorption ratio) parameters and were found to be similar. The 16S rDNA genes from the samples were amplified, cloned and BLAST analysed. In total, 996 stagnant and 1052 circulated wastewater derived sequences were obtained, comprising 294 and 362 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from the circulated and stagnant wastewaters respectively. Coverage estimates of the OTUs identified were 72·1% for the stagnant, and 63·6% for the circulated wastewater libraries. The greatest difference between the two wastewaters was a c. sixfold greater number of sequences representative of the family Chromatiaceae in the circulated wastewater derived library and a c. fivefold greater number of sequences representative of the phylum Chloroflexi in the stagnant wastewater derived library. Conclusions:  Circulation of dairy wastewater does not affect any of the chemical or physical parameters tested; however, circulation does alter the bacterial community structure. Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study provides evidence that circulation of dairy wastewater promotes the growth of bacteria within the family Chromatiaceae and that stagnant systems promote the growth of the phylum Chloroflexi.

AB  - Prior research has demonstrated the utility of metrics based on spatial velocity gradients to characterize and describe stream habitat, with higher gradients generally indicative of higher levels of physical heterogeneity and thus habitat quality. However, detailed velocity data needed to compute these metrics are difficult to obtain. Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) may be used to rapidly collect detailed representations of river velocity fields. Herein we demonstrate use of ADCP to obtain ecologically relevant data and compute associated metrics. Data were collected from four reaches of the Little Tallahatchie River in northern Mississippi. Sampled reaches were selected to observe velocity regimes associated with three distinctly different conditions: downstream from a major flow obstruction (a low weir), downstream from the apices of each of two bends, and within an extremely long, straight reach created by channelization. Three-dimensional velocity data sets from each site were used to compute metrics of habitat quality proposed by others. A habitat metric based on the presence of rotational flow in the vertical plane proved to be the best discriminator among conditions within the sampled reaches. Two of four habitat quality metrics computed from these measured velocities were greatest for the sharpest meander bend. ADCP hold great potential for study of riverine physical aquatic habitats, particularly at the reach scale. Additional work is needed to develop generally applicable field protocols and data reduction tools. Specifically, guidelines for ADCP settings and configuration appropriate for a range of riverine site conditions must be developed. Advances in instrumentation are needed to allow collection of information in closer proximity to the free surface and solid boundaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - v.s. panangala, v.l. van santen, c.a. shoemaker and p.h. klesius. 2005. To analyse interspecies and intraspecies differences based on the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) sequences of the fish pathogens Edwardsiella ictaluri and Edwardsiella tarda. The 16S-23S rRNA spacer regions of 19 Edw. ictaluri and four Edw. tarda isolates from four geographical regions were amplified by PCR with primers complementary to conserved sequences within the flanking 16S–23S rRNA coding sequences. Two products were generated from all isolates, without interspecies or intraspecific size polymorphisms. Sequence analysis of the amplified fragments revealed a smaller ISR of 350 bp, which contained a gene for tRNAGlu, and a larger ISR of 441 bp, which contained genes for tRNAIle and tRNAAla. The sequences of the smaller ISR of different Edw. ictaluri isolates were essentially identical to each other. Partial sequences of larger ISR from several Edw. ictaluri isolates also revealed no differences from the one complete Edw. ictaluri large ISR sequence obtained. The sequences of the smaller ISR of Edw. tarda were 97% identical to the Edw. ictaluri smaller ISR and the larger ISR were 96–98% identical to the Edw. ictaluri larger ISR sequence. The Edw. tarda isolates displayed limited ISR sequence heterogeneity, with ≥97% sequence identity among isolates for both small and large ISR. There is a high degree of size and sequence similarity of 16S–23S ISR both among isolates within Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda species and between the two species. Our results confirm a close genetic relationship between Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda and the relative homogeneity of Edw. ictaluri isolates compared with Edw. tarda isolates. Because no differences were found in ISR sequences among Edw. ictaluri isolates, sequence analysis of the ISR will not be useful to distinguish isolates of Edw. ictaluri. However, we identified restriction sites that differ between ISR sequences of Edw. ictaluri and Edw. tarda, which will be useful in distinguishing the two species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The inhibitory effects of tropospheric O3 on crop photosynthesis, growth, and yield have been documented in numerous studies over the past 35 years. In large part, the results of this research supported governmental regulations designed to limit tropospheric O3 levels to concentrations that affected crop production at economically acceptable levels. Recent studies have brought into question the efficacy of these concentration-based O3 standards compared with flux-based approaches that incorporate O3 uptake along with environmental and biotic factors that influence plant responses. In addition, recent studies provide insight into the biochemical mechanisms of O3 injury to plants. Current interpretations suggest that upon entry into the leaf intercellular space O3 rapidly reacts with components of the leaf apoplast to initiate a complex set of responses involving the formation of toxic metabolites and generation of plant defence responses that constitute variably effective countermeasures. Plant species and cultivars exhibit a range of sensitivity to O3, evident as heritable characteristics, that must reflect identifiable biochemical and molecular processes that affect sensitivity to O3 injury, although their exact makeup remains unclear. Ozone clearly impairs photosynthetic processes, which might include the effects on electron transport and guard cell homeostasis as well as the better-documented effects on carbon fixation via decreased Rubisco activity. Translocation of photosynthate could be inhibited by O3 exposure as well. Further, the influence of tropospheric O3 needs to be considered when assessing potential effects of rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 on crop production. Advances in O3 flux modelling and improved understanding of biochemical and molecular effects of O3 on photosynthetic gas exchange and plant defence processes are leading to more complete, integrated assessments of O3 impacts on crop physiology that continue to support the rationale for maintaining or improving current O3 air quality standards as well as providing a basis for development of more O3-tolerant crop lines.

AB  - j.e. wells, j.t. yen and d.n. miller. 2005. To determine the possible effects of inclusion of dried skim milk (DSM) in swine diets on indigenous Lactobacillus spp. and Escherichia coli, and its potential for controlling pathogen shedding and affect animal growth in growing-finishing swine. Animals were fed over three dietary phases to match production needs from age 10–14 weeks, 14–18 weeks and 18–22 weeks. For each feeding phase, diets were formulated to contain 0 or 10% DSM (balanced for metabolizable energy and true ileal digestible amino acids). Animals were weighed every 2 weeks and faecal samples were collected from 40 animals (20 with DSM and 20 without DSM) at week 10 (d 0 on diets), 14, 18 and 22 of age, and were analysed for Lactobacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E. coli O157:H7. At the start of the study (week 10), faecal bacterial counts (log10 CFU g−1 faeces) were 9·55, 7·26, 7·01 and 6·93 for Lactobacillus, Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli populations respectively. The Enterobacteriaceae, coliform and E. coli populations decreased through week 14 and 18, but were higher in animals fed with the DSM diet compared with the basal diet without DSM. The Lactobacillus populations at weeks 14 and 18 were lower in the animals fed the diet without DSM, whereas feeding DSM maintained the Lactobacillus counts from week 10. At week 22, populations of Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and E. coli were >week 18 for the animals fed the diet without DSM, less change was observed with the feeding of DSM, and no differences between the diets were observed at week 22. However, in week 22 the animal gain was positively correlated with Lactobacillus numbers and negatively correlated with E. coli numbers. Subtraction of the E. coli population (log10) from the Lactobacillus population (log10) yielded a positive value termed ‘effective’ Lactobacillus that correlated well with animal gain and may better define a beneficial function in the intestine. Salmonella were detected in over 60% of the animals at week 10 and 14, and <20% at week 18 and 22. Campylobacter were detected rarely at weeks 10, 14 and 18, but were found in 25% of the animals at week 22. The DSM did not affect Salmonella or Campylobacter shedding, but examination of individual animals over the entire experiment indicated that fewer recurring incidences of Salmonella shedding occurred in animals that maintained higher Lactobacillus. In addition, at week 22, Salmonella and Campylobacter shedding was associated with lower levels of effective Lactobacillus and lower animal weight gains. The DSM did not directly affect the animal performance or pathogen shedding via the Lactobacillus spp. population at any phase of production. However, analysis of data from all animals revealed that faecal Lactobacillus affected Salmonella shedding and in the finishing phase, animal growth and pathogen shedding also were affected, as reflected by the ‘effective’ Lactobacillus-associated observations. In the swine intestine, any benefits from gastrointestinal Lactobacillus may be compromized by the E. coli population, and this antagonism may explain responses observed with prebiotics or probiotics in some swine.

AB  - A two-year field study was conducted during 2002–2003 on a Dundee silt loam soil, Stoneville, MS, to examine the effects of hairy vetch cover crop (HV-D, hairy vetch desiccated at corn planting; HV-B, hairy vetch desiccated in a 38-cm band over crop row at corn planting; and no hairy vetch) and preemergence (PRE) plus postemergence (POST) herbicides applied broadcast and banded on weed control, yield, and economic return in corn. Atrazine plus metolachlor were applied PRE and POST. Bentazon in 2002 and carfentrazone in 2003 were applied in mixture with atrazine plus metolachlor POST. More hairy vetch dry biomass was present in the HV-B system (2,941 kg/ha) than in the HV-D (1,397 kg/ha) and no hairy vetch (0 kg/ha) systems at 7 wk after planting corn (WAP). Live and desiccated hairy vetch in HV-B and HV-D systems suppressed pitted morning glory compared with no hairy vetch at 7 WAP. Densities of barnyardgrass, carpetweed, smooth pigweed, or yellow nutsedge were not reduced in HV-D and HV-B systems compared with no hairy vetch. Hairy vetch cover crop residue in HV-D and HV-B systems had no effect on total weed dry biomass at 7 WAP compared with no hairy vetch. Corn yields were higher in the HV-D system, regardless of herbicide treatment, and the HV-B with broadcast-applied PRE plus POST herbicide treatment compared with no hairy vetch treatments in 2003. Corn yields were similar with band- and broadcast-applied PRE plus POST herbicides when no hairy vetch or all hairy vetch was desiccated at planting (HV-D). Higher costs associated with hairy vetch were offset by higher corn yields in the HV-D system compared with no hairy vetch in 2003, as net returns were similar in both systems. Applying PRE plus POST herbicides in a band resulted in similar net returns as broadcast herbicide application in the no hairy vetch and HV-D systems. These findings indicate that hairy vetch cover crop had little effect on reducing densities of weed species studied, higher costs associated with cover crops can be negated with higher corn yields, and herbicide inputs can be reduced by applying herbicides in a band vs. broadcast without reducing corn yields or economic returns.

AB  - Phaeosphaeria avenaria f.sp. avenaria (Paa), the causal agent of stagonospora leaf blotch in oats, produces a glycosyl hydrolase family 3 enzyme, β-glucosidase, which is responsible for detoxification of steroidal avenacosides in oat leaves, but is not essential for pathogenicity. For a comparative genetic relatedness study, a Paa-like β-glucosidase gene (bgl1) was PCR-amplified from Phaeosphaeria nodorum and P. avenaria f.sp. triticea, and Phaeosphaeria spp. from dallis grass (Paspalum dilatatum) (isolate S-93-48) and rye (Secale cereale) (isolate Sn48-1). Different sizes of bgl1 gene coding sequences ranging from 3018 to 3023 bp were determined. The bgl1 gene structure in these Phaeosphaeria species was identical to that of Paa and contained four exons and three introns. Nucleotide variations occurring in introns 1 and 2 of the bgl1 gene divided wheat-biotype P. nodorum into four groups. Two 12-bp-long direct sequence repeats (5'-TCA/G ACT GGT TT/CA/G) were found in the promoter region of the bgl1 gene in Phaeosphaeria species; only one repeat was present in the two P. avenaria f.sp. triticea isolates ATCC26370 and ATCC26377 (Pat2) from foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum) and some homothallic P. avenaria f.sp. triticea isolates (Pat1). With sequence similarities in the noncoding internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear rDNA, the partial gpd gene fragment containing the intron 4, and the full-length bgl1 gene, five Phaeosphaeria isolates (5413, 1919WRS, 1920WRS, 1921WRS, Sa37-2) from oat (Avena sativa) were molecularly determined to be Paa. Two oat isolates (Sa38-1 and Sa39-2) from Poland appeared to be Pat1. The results suggest that classification of two Phaeosphaeria avenaria formae speciales based on host specificity should be re-evaluated. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le Phaeosphaeria avenaria f.sp. avenaria (Paa), agent causal de la tache ovoïde à stogonospora chez l'avoine, produit une enzyme de la famille 3 des hydrolases du glucosyl, la β-glucosidase, laquelle est responsable de la détoxification des avenacosides stéroïdiens dans les feuilles d'avoine, mais n'est pas essentielle pour la pathogénicité. Dans le cadre d'une étude comparative sur la parenté génétique, les auteurs ont amplifié par PCR, le gène de la β-glucosidase de type Paa (bgl1) obtenu à partir du Phaeosphaeria nodorum et du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea, et du Phaeosphaeria spp. provenant de la digitaire à larges feuilles (Paspalum dilatatum) (isolat S-93-48) et du seigle (Secale cereale) (isolat Sn48-1). Ils ont déterminé des séquences codantes de différentes dimensions du gène bgl1, allant de 3018 à 3023 pb. Chez ces espèces de Phaeosphaeria, la structure du gène bgl1 est identique au Paa et contient quatre exons et trois introns. La variation des nucléotides présents chez les introns 1 et 2 du gène bgl1 permet de diviser le P. nodorum du biotype-blé en quatre groupes. On retrouve deux répétitions d'une longue séquence directe de 12 pb (5′-TCA/G ACT GGT TT/CA/G) dans la région du promoteur du gène bgl1, chez les espèces du genre Phaeosphaeria; une seule répétition est présente chez les deux isolats du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea (ATCC26370 et ATCC26377 (Pat 2), provenant de l'orge agréable (Hordeum jubatum) et de quelques isolats homothalliques du P. avenaria f.sp. triticea (Pat 1). À partir des similarités des séquences de la région non-codante de l'espaceur interne transcrit du rADN nucléique, du fragment partiel du gène gpd contenant l'intron 4, et de l'ensemble du gène bgl1, on a pu déterminer, au plan moléculaire, que cinq isolats provenant de l'avoine (5413, 1919WRS, 1921WRS, Sa37-2) sont des Paa. Deux isolats de l'avoine (Avena sativa) semblent être des Pat1. Les résultats suggèrent que la classification des deux formes spéciales du Phaeosphaeria avenaria, basée sur la spécificité de l'hôte, devrait être réévaluée.

AB  - In 1999 and 2000, 3 state health departments reported 4 outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness due to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in employees, clients, and client animals from 3 companion animal veterinary clinics and 1 animal shelter. More than 45 persons and companion animals became ill. Four independent investigations resulted in the testing of 19 human samples and >200 animal samples; 18 persons and 36 animals were culture-positive for S. Typhimurium. One outbreak was due to multidrug-resistant S, Typhimurium R-type ACKSSuT, while the other 3 were due to multidrug-resistant S, Typhimurium R-type ACSSuT DT104. This report documents nosocomial transmission of S. Typhimurium and demonstrates that companion animal facilities may serve as foci of transmission for salmonellae between animals and humans if adequate precautions are not followed.

AB  - The cellular receptor of subgroup B avian leukosis virus (ALVB) is encoded by a gene at the tumour virus B (TVB) locus. TVB alleles encode specific receptors permitting infection by exogenous ALVB or avian leukosis virus subgroup D (ALVD) as well as endogenous avian leukosis virus subgroup E (ALVE), and thus susceptibility is dominant to resistance. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms at the TVB locus have been reported distinguishing three TVB alleles (TVB*S1,. TVB*S3 and TVB*R). We have developed a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELP) assay using the two single nucleotide polymorphisms to define three observed allelic haplotypes and to identify the six possible TVB genotypes consisting of the three haplotypes in defined laboratory strains of chickens. One additional potential allelic haplotype and four genotypes were also briefly discussed. Chickens from parents heterozygous for different TVB alleles were challenged with Rous sarcoma viruses of subgroup ALVB  and ALVE to induce wing-web tumours. Tumour incidences were evaluated between chickens of the genotypes determined with this newly developed PCR-RFLP assay. Importantly, chickens typed with this assay as TVB*S3/*S3 were resistant to infection by ALVE only, and those TVB*R/*R were resistant to both ALVE and ALVB. Furthermore, a vast majority of chickens with the susceptible TVB*S1/- genotypes developed a tumour. This PCR-RFLP assay enables a relatively rapid assessment of all six anticipated TPB genotypes in experimental strains of chickens undergoing segregation for TVB*S1, TVB*S3, and TVB*R alleles. This non-infectious assay should be further evaluated for the capacity to select and breed commercial chickens for genetic resistance to infections by ALVB, ALVD and ALVE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This review will focus on the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying defense responses of roots to fungal pathogens. Soil-borne pathogens, including Phytophthora, Pythium, Fusarium, and Bipolaris, represent major sources of biotic stress in the rhizosphere and roots of plants. Molecular recognition and signaling leading to effective resistance has been demonstrated to occur between host and Phytophthora, or Pythium. The hypersensitive response and apoptotic cell death, two oxidative processes that limit biotrophic pathogens, generally act to exacerbate disease symptoms induced by necrotrophic organisms. Although pathogenesis-related proteins can be expressed in roots during pathogen challenge, salicylic acid has not been implicated in root-mediated interactions. Jasmonic acid and ethylene have been found to mediate parallel as well as synergistic pathways that confer partial tolerance to necrotrophic pathogens, as well as induced systemic resistance to root and foliar pathogens. Genomics approaches are revealing new networks of defense-signaling pathways, and have the potential of elucidating those pathways that are important in root-defense responses.

AB  - From 1999?–?2003, the hygiene of 1061 environmental surfaces from shopping, daycare, and office environments, personal items, and miscellaneous activities (i.e., gymnasiums, airports, movie theaters, restaurants, etc.), in four US cities, was monitored. Samples were analyzed for fecal and total coliform bacteria, protein, and biochemical markers. Biochemical markers, i.e., hemoglobin (blood marker), amylase (mucus, saliva, sweat, and urine marker), and urea (urine and sweat marker) were detected on 3% (26/801); 15% (120/801), and 6% (48/801) of the surfaces, respectively. Protein (general hygiene marker) levels ??200?µg/10?cm 2 were present on 26% (200/801) of the surfaces tested. Surfaces from children's playground equipment and daycare centers were the most frequently contaminated (biochemical markers on 36%; 15/42 and 46%; 25/54, respectively). Surfaces from the shopping, miscellaneous activities, and office environments were positive for biochemical markers with a frequency of 21% (69/333), 21% (66/308), and 11% (12/105), respectively). Sixty samples were analyzed for biochemical markers and bacteria. Total and fecal coliforms were detected on 20% (12/60) and 7% (4/60) of the surfaces, respectively. Half and one-third of the sites positive for biochemical markers were also positive for total and fecal coliforms, respectively. Artificial contamination of public surfaces with an invisible fluorescent tracer showed that contamination from outside surfaces was transferred to 86% (30/35) of exposed individual's hands and 82% (29/35) tracked the tracer to their home or personal belongings hours later. Results provide information on the relative hygiene of commonly encountered public surfaces and aid in the identification of priority environments where contaminant occurrence and risk of exposure may be greatest. Children's playground equipment is identified as a priority surface for additional research on the occurrence of and potential exposure to infectious disease causing agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The efficient use of feed for growth and meat production is important for all animal production industries including aquaculture. Residual feed intake (RFI) is an alternative measure of feed efficiency that has been widely used in livestock production. Residual feed intake was calculated as the difference between intake observed and intake predicted on the basis of a bioenergetics model; a low RFI indicates greater efficiency. Residual feed intake offers some advantages as a selection criterion for improving production efficiency over traditional feed efficiency statistics because it is not a ratio and it typically has a larger coefficient of variation. The RFI of individually reared rainbow trout progeny from six different genetic cross-types was examined for genetic variation. Proximate analysis and nitrogen retention were also evaluated to determine if differences in RFI correlate to differences in body composition and nutrient retention and varied by cross-type. Differences between cross-types indicated a genetic component for RFI, with the most efficient fish of approximately 160 g consuming 0.99 g less and inefficient fish consuming 0.05 g more feed per day than expected. Lower RFI was associated with higher growth rates (r=−0.38,P<0.05) and greater nitrogen retention (r=−0.82P<0.001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We present a new soil respiration model, describe a formal model testing procedure, and compare our model with five alternative models using an extensive data set of observed soil respiration. Gas flux data from rangeland soils that included a large number of measurements at low temperatures were used to model soil CO2 emissions as a function of soil temperature and water content. Our arctangent temperature function predicts that Q10 values vary inversely with temperature and that CO2 fluxes are significant below 0 °C. Independent data representing a broad range of ecosystems and temperature values were used for model testing. The effects of plant phenology, differences in substrate availability among sites, and water limitation were accounted for so that the temperature equations could be fairly evaluated. Four of the six tested models did equally well at simulating the observed soil CO2 respiration rates. However, the arctangent variable Q10 model agreed closely with observed Q10 values over a wide range of temperatures ( r2 = 0.94) and was superior to published variable Q10 equations using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). The arctangent temperature equation explained 16–85% of the observed intra-site variability in CO2 flux rates. Including a water stress factor yielded a stronger correlation than temperature alone only in the dryland soils. The observed change in Q10 with increasing temperature was the same for data sets that included only heterotrophic respiration and data sets that included both heterotrophic and autotrophic respiration.

AB  - Soil CO2 efflux is a major component of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of forest systems. Combining data from multiple researchers for larger-scale modeling and assessment will only be valid if their methodologies provide directly comparable results. We conducted a series of laboratory and field tests to assess the presence and magnitude of soil CO2 efflux measurement system × environment interactions. Laboratory comparisons were made with a dynamic, steady-state CO2 flux generation apparatus, wherein gas diffusion drove flux without creating pressure differentials through three artificial soil media of varying air-filled porosity. Under these conditions, two closed systems (Li-6400-09 and SRC-1) exhibited errors that were dependent on physical properties of the artificial media. The open system (ACES) underestimated CO2 flux. However, unlike the two other systems, the ACES results could be corrected with a single calibration equation that was unaffected by physical differences in artificial media. Both scale and rank changes occurred among the measurement systems across four sites. Our work clearly shows that soil CO2 efflux measurement system × environment interactions do occur and can substantially impact estimates of soil CO2 efflux. Until reliable calibration techniques are developed and applied, such interactions make direct comparison of published rates, and C budgets estimated using such rates, difficult.

AB  - This paper reviews the role of soil respiration in determining ecosystem carbon balance, and the conceptual basis for measuring and modeling soil respiration. We developed it to provide background and context for this special issue on soil respiration and to synthesize the presentations and discussions at the workshop. Soil respiration is the largest component of ecosystem respiration. Because autotrophic and heterotrophic activity belowground is controlled by substrate availability, soil respiration is strongly linked to plant metabolism, photosynthesis and litterfall. This link dominates both base rates and short-term fluctuations in soil respiration and suggests many roles for soil respiration as an indicator of ecosystem metabolism. However, the strong links between above and belowground processes complicate using soil respiration to understand changes in ecosystem carbon storage. Root and associated mycorrhizal respiration produce roughly half of soil respiration, with much of the remainder derived from decomposition of recently produced root and leaf litter. Changes in the carbon stored in the soil generally contribute little to soil respiration, but these changes, together with shifts in plant carbon allocation, determine ecosystem carbon storage belowground and its exchange with the atmosphere. Identifying the small signal from changes in large, slow carbon pools in flux dominated by decomposition of recent material and autotrophic and mycorrhizal respiration is a significant challenge. A mechanistic understanding of the belowground carbon cycle and of the response of different components to the environment will aid in identifying this signal. Our workshop identified information needs to help build that understanding: (1) the mechanisms that control the coupling of canopy and belowground processes; (2) the responses of root and heterotrophic respiration to environment; (3) plant carbon allocation patterns, particularly in different forest developmental stages, and in response to treatments (warming, CO2, nitrogen additions); and (4) coupling measurements of soil respiration with aboveground processes and changes in soil carbon. Multi-factor experiments need to be sufficiently long to allow the systems to adjust to the treatments. New technologies will be necessary to reduce uncertainty in estimates of carbon allocation, soil carbon pool sizes, and different responses of roots and microbes to environmental conditions.

AB  - Quantitative reflectance spectroscopy offers an alternative to traditional analytical methods for the determination of the chemical composition of a sample. The objective of this study was to develop a set of spectroscopic calibrations to determine the chemical composition (nutrients, carbon, and fiber constituents, determined using standard wet lab methods) of dried conifer foliage samples (N = 72), and to compare the predictive ability of calibrations based on three different spectral regions: visible and shortwave near infrared (VIS–sNIR, 400- to 1100-nm wavelengths), near infrared (NIR, 1100- to 2500-nm wavelengths), and mid infrared (MIR, 2500- to 25 000-nm wavelengths). To date, most quantitative reflectance spectroscopy has been based on the VIS–sNIR–NIR, and the ability of MIR calibrations to predict the composition of tree foliage has not been tested. VIS–sNIR calibrations were clearly inferior to those based on longer wavelengths. For 8 of 11 analytes, the MIR calibrations had the lowest standard error of cross-validation, but in most cases the difference in accuracy between NIR and MIR calibrations was small, and against an independent validation set, there was no clear evidence that either spectral region was superior. Although quantitative MIR spectroscopy is at a more primitive state of development than NIR spectroscopy, these results demonstrate that the mid infrared has considerable promise for quantitative analytical work.

AB  - La spectroscopie quantitative par réflectance offre une alternative aux méthodes analytiques traditionnelles pour déterminer la composition chimique d'un échantillon. L'objectif de cette étude consistait à développer un ensemble de courbes de calibration pour déterminer la composition chimique (composition en nutriments, carbone et fibres mesurée à l'aide de méthodes standards de laboratoire d'analyse par voie humide) d'échantillons (N = 72) d'aiguilles séchées de conifères et de comparer la capacité de prédiction des courbes basées sur trois régions spectrales différentes : visible et proche infrarouge ondes courtes (VIS/PIRoc, 400–1100 nm), proche infrarouge (PIR, 1100–2500 nm) et infrarouge moyen (IRM, 2500 – 25 000 nm). À ce jour, la spectroscopie quantitative par réflectance a surtout été basée sur le VIS/PIRoc/PIR mais la possibilité de prédire la composition du feuillage des arbres avec des courbes basées sur l'IRM n'a pas été testée. Les courbes VIS/PIRoc étaient nettement inférieures à celles qui étaient basées sur des longueurs d'onde plus longues. Pour huit des onze substances analysées, les courbes basées sur l'IRM avaient la plus faible erreur type de validation croisée. Par contre, dans la plupart des cas, il y avait peu de différence de précision entre les courbes basées sur le PIR et celles basées sur l'IRM. La supériorité de l'une ou l'autre de ces régions spectrales était loin d'être évidente avec des données de validation indépendantes. Bien que la spectroscopie dans l'IRM soit à un stade de développement plus primitif que la spectroscopie dans le PIR, les résultats démontrent que l'IRM est très prometteur pour le travail d'analyse quantitative.

AB  - Invasive species pose a major, yet poorly addressed, threat to sustainable forestry. Here we set forth an interdisciplinary science strategy of research, development, and applications to reduce this threat. To spur action by public and private entities that too often are slow, reluctant, or unable to act, we recommend (a) better integrating invasive species into sustainable forestry frameworks such as the Montréal Process and forest certification programs; (b) developing improved cost estimates to inform choices about international trade and pest suppression efforts; and (c) building distributed information systems that deliver information on risks, identification, and response strategies. To enhance the success of prevention and management actions, we recommend (a) advancing technologies for molecular identification, expert systems, and remote sensing; (b) evolving approaches for ecosystem and landscape management; and (c) better anticipating interactions between species invasions and other global change processes.

AB  - An experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of mid-day (11:00 – 13:00&ThickSpace;h) and late evening (18:00 – 20:00&ThickSpace;h) broadcast bait (Seige Pro®, 0.73% hydramethylnon) applications against black and hybrid imported fire ants ( Solenopsis richteri Forel and S . richteri × invicta , respectively) and their impact on native ant species. It was hypothesized that evening bait applications would have less impact on native ant species that slow or cease foraging at night relative to mid-day applications. Bait was applied to a series of plots in northeastern Mississippi, USA, in summer of 2002 and 2003. Population densities and foraging activity of imported fire ants and native ants were compared between treated and control plots. Population density and foraging activity of imported fire ants were equally suppressed in plots receiving mid-day and evening broadcast bait applications. Population density of Monomorium minimum (Buckley), the little black ant, approached zero in treated plots during 2003 but remained relatively high in untreated control plots. Species richness declined in treated plots with no difference between mid-day and evening bait application. These data indicate that evening bait application offers no advantage over mid-day application in terms of preserving some native ant species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Higher plant metallothioneins are suspected of reducing metal-induced oxidative stress and binding copper and zinc cofactor metals for delivery to important apometalloproteins. A metallothionein-like gene (MT-L2) cDNA clone pCkn16A1 (Accession U35225) was cloned from heat-shock-inducedNicotiana plumbaginifoliacontaining the heat-shock-inducible isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene (HS-ipt).Iptexpression in plants leads to enhanced cytokinin biosynthesis. In mature leaves of non-transformedN. plumbaginifoliaandNicotiana tabacum, copper stress caused a significant loss of MT-L2 mRNA transcripts. Under non-stressed conditions, HS-iptinduced (N. plumbaginifolia) or light-induced (SSU-ipt) (N. tabacum) plants had higher MT-L2 transcript levels than non-transformed or transformed (GUS) controls. Unlike control plants, copper stress did not reduce MT-L2 mRNA levels in the cytokinin accumulating transgenic plants. Enhanced cytokinin production also led to lower lipid peroxidation compared with controls under non-stressed and copper-stressed conditions. Greater MT-L2 transcript levels and protection against oxidative events prior to or during copper stress could contribute to the observed eight-fold accumulation of copper in mature leaves ofiptexpressing plants compared to non-transformed plants. Expression of this tobacco MT-L2 mRNA may be modulated directly by cytokinin or indirectly as a consequence of cytokinin-mediated antioxidant activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Antibiotics have the remarkable power to control bacterial infections. Unfortunately, widespread use, whether regarded as prudent or not, has favored the emergence and persistence of antibiotic resistant strains of human pathogenic bacteria, resulting in a global health threat. Bacteriophages (phages) are parasites that invade the cells of virtually all known bacteria. Phages reproduce by utilizing the host cell's machinery to replicate viral proteins and genomic material, generally damaging and killing the cell in the process. Thus, phage can be exploited therapeutically as bacteriolytic agents against bacteria. Furthermore, understanding of the molecular processes involved in the viral life cycle, particularly the entry and cell lysis steps, has led to the development of viral proteins as antibacterial agents. Here we review the current preclinical state of using phage-derived endolysins, virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases, polysaccharide depolymerases, and holins for the treatment of bacterial infection. The scope of this review is a focus on the viral proteins that have been assessed for protective effects against human pathogenic bacteria in animal models of infection and disease.

AB  - The effects of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) on breast-feeding behavior have been sometimes found inadequate. The determinants of breast-feeding initiation and duration among WIC participants and nonparticipants were modeled by using retrospective cross-sectional data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant health Survey. This study corrects for self-selection bias as far as the data allow, in addition to controlling for parents' ages, education, race, and family income. Findings suggest that prenatal WIC participation, combined with breast-feeding advice significantly increases the initiation of breast-feeding advice given prenatally at WIC clinics is unclear and warrants further research.

AB  - Seed treatments containing combinations of <em>Escherichia coli</em> SI7R1 and <em>Burkholderia cepacia</em> Bc-B provided significantly greater (P &les; 0.05) suppression of cucumber seedling pathogens in a field soil naturally infested with <em>Pythium</em> and <em>Fusarium</em> spp. than seeds treated individually with strains Bc-B, S17R1, or <em>Enterobacter cloacae</em> 501R3. Although strain S17R1 had no effect on disease severity when applied alone and did not colonize cucumber rhizosphere, it enhanced the biocontrol effectiveness of strain Bc-B.

AB  - High molecular weight DNA of <em>Phytophthora infestans</em> was extracted using a modification of the commercial QIAGEN column procedure. Both a 'maxi' and `mini' procedure are described. The maxi procedure utilizes a QEAGEN-tip 500 column while the mini procedure utilizes a QIAGEN-tip 20 column. When fungal protoplasts were used as starting material from 9 g (fresh weight) of mycelium. nearly 500 pg of DNA in the size range of 20- 200 kb was obtained and the product was successfully used in construction of a lambda genomic library. The modified QIAGEN method can replace the more time- consuming, and expensive cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation for extraction of ultra-pure DNA from <em>P. infestans</em>. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The dielectric properties of pure yellow locust, jujube and rape flower honey and their water-adulterated products with water content from 18% to 42.6% were measured with open-ended coaxial-line probe technology and a network analyzer from 10 to 4500MHz at 25°C. Dielectric constants of pure honeys and water-added honey samples decreased monotonically with increasing frequency, and increased with increasing water content. Dielectric relaxation was evident in the dielectric loss factors. The critical frequency and the maximum loss factor increased with increasing water content. There were strong linear correlations between the dielectric constant and the total soluble solids and water contents. The linear coefficients of determination were higher than 0.995 from 650 to 960MHz. The good linear correlations and the sufficient penetration depth >20mm below 960MHz, suggest that microwave dielectric properties could be used in developing sensors to determine sugar and water contents.

AB  - The dispersal of individuals among fragmented populations is generally thought to prevent genetic and demographic isolation, and ultimately reduce extinction risk. In this study, we show that a century of reduction in coastal old-growth forests, as well as a number of other environmental factors, has probably resulted in the genetic divergence of marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) in central California, despite the fact that 7 per cent of modern-sampled murrelets in this population were classified as migrants using genetic assignment tests. Genetic differentiation appears to persist because individuals dispersing from northern populations contributed relatively few young to the central California population, as indicated by the fact that migrants were much less likely to be members of parent–offspring pairs than residents (10.5% versus 45.4%). Moreover, a recent 1.4 per cent annual increase in the proportion of migrants in central California, without appreciable reproduction, may have masked an underlying decline in the resident population without resulting in demographic rescue. Our results emphasize the need to understand the behaviour of migrants and the extent to which they contribute offspring in order to determine whether dispersal results in gene flow and prevents declines in resident populations.

AB  - Objective: To investigate adrenal steroid regulation in polycystic ovary syndrome. Design: Five-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and frequently sampled-intravenous gluclose tolerance test. Setting: University research center. Patient(s): Thirty patients. Intervention(s): None. Main Outcome Measure(s): Anthropometrics, leptin, cortisol, DHEAS, glucose, insulin. Result(s): Morning cortisol correlated with sensitivity index (SI, r = .540), DHEAS correlated inversely with age (r = −.6359), body mass index (BMI, r = −.6199), fat mass (r = −0.630), and leptin (r = −0.5676). Between the second and fourth hour of OGTT, cortisol changes (Δ) exhibited three patterns: I, responders (n = 9, Δ: 10.7 ± 1.0 μg/dL); II, nonresponders (n = 10, Δ: −3.5 ± 0.6 μg/dL); III, intermediates (n = 11, Δ: 4.3 ± 1.0 μg/dL). Compared with nonresponders, responders were more obese (BMI: 37.0 ± 1.6 vs. 31.7 ± 1.8 kg/m2); had higher leptin (28.9 ± 1.7 vs. 24.1 ± 1.1 ng/mL), and lower DHEAS (133 ± 12 vs. 236 ± 32 ng/mL), higher glucose at 1 h of OGTT (195 ± 13 vs. 131 ± 12 mg/dL), higher area under the curve (AUC)Glucose (332 ± 20 vs. 265 ± 17 mg/dL), higher AUCInsulin (244 ± 50 vs. 125 ± 30 μU/mL), and lower nadir glucose (61 ± 2 vs. 70 ± 2 mg/dL). Conclusion(s): Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with lower morning cortisol and DHEAS but increased cortisol and DHEA responses after glucose ingestion. Morning steroid levels may not reflect the day-long exposure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Isotopic tracer and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) are used to probe the identity of oxygen for CO formation during the catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) of methane to synthesis gas on 18O2 labeled Rh (1 wt.%)/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x . Results reveal that methane is selectively oxidized by lattice oxygen ions from the catalyst to form carbon monoxide. 18O2 isotopic exchange experiments, as a function of temperature in the 0–850°C range, were performed on Rh (1 wt.%)/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x , and (Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x . It was observed that the presence of rhodium considerably accelerates the oxygen exchange with the support; the maximal exchange rates could be observed at lower temperatures, 250°C. This may be due to oxygen spillover from the metal particles to the oxide. Comparing results from the isotopic exchange experiments on Rh/γ-alumina and Rh (1 wt.%)/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x. It was revealed that oxygen conducting materials have a much higher oxygen storage capacity and isotopic exchange rate than non-oxygen conducting materials. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In pure H2 gas, hydrogen fluxes through pure Pd and Pd47Cu53 (mol%) foils at 350°C are similar. In the presence of 1000ppm H2S in H2, the hydrogen fluxes through both foils are substantially reduced, but with significantly different decay patterns. Six hours after the start of H2S exposure, the Pd foil remained permeable to hydrogen, with the flux decreasing slowly over time. Analysis of the Pd foil by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that Pd reacts with H2S to form a palladium sulfide corrosion product, Pd4S, which is about 6.6μm thick. These observations are consistent with the slow growth of a low-permeability, but catalytically active, sulfide corrosion layer on the Pd surface. In contrast, the hydrogen flux through the Pd47Cu53 foil is undetectable within 5min of the start of H2S exposure. XPS depth profiling of the Pd47Cu53 foil reveals that sulfur penetrates only ∼3nm into the Pd47Cu53 surface. Rapid formation of a Pd–Cu–S terminal layer, which is either inactive for hydrogen dissociation or impermeable to hydrogen atoms, is responsible for the deactivation of the Pd47Cu53 alloy membrane in H2S at 350°C.

AB  - Abstract: Differential cross sections for dijet photoproduction and this process in association with a leading neutron, , have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 40 pb−1. The fraction of dijet events with a leading neutron was studied as a function of different jet and event variables. Single- and double-differential cross sections are presented as a function of the longitudinal fraction of the proton momentum carried by the leading neutron, , and of its transverse momentum squared, . The dijet data are compared to inclusive DIS and photoproduction results; they are all consistent with a simple pion-exchange model. The neutron yield as a function of was found to depend only on the fraction of the proton beam energy going into the forward region, independent of the hard process. No firm conclusion can be drawn on the presence of rescattering effects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This manuscript provides an overview of past wildlife contraception efforts and discusses the current state of research. Two fertility control agents, an avian reproductive inhibitor containing the active ingredient nicarbazin and an immunocontraceptive vaccine, have received regulatory approval with the Environmental Protection Agency and are commercially available in the USA. OvoControl G Contraceptive Bait for Canada Geese and Ovo Control for pigeons are delivered as oral baits. An injectable immunocontraceptive vaccine (GonaCon Immunocontraceptive Vaccine) was registered with the Environmental Protection Agency for use in female white-tailed deer in September 2009. An injectable product (GonaCon Immunocontraceptive Vaccine) is registered for use in female white-tailed deer. Both products are labeled for use in urban/suburban areas where these species are overabundant. Several other compounds are currently being tested for use in wildlife in the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand that could have promise in the future. The development and use of reproductive inhibitors for resolving human–wildlife conflicts will depend on a number of factors, including meeting the requirements of regulatory agencies for use in the environment and on the biological and economical feasibility of their use. Use will also be dependent on health and safety issues and on public acceptance of the techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As a critical factor in the induction of angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has become an attractive target for anti-angiogenesis treatment. However, the side effects associated with most anti-VEGF agents limit their chronic use. Identification of naturally occurring VEGF inhibitors derived from diet is a potential alternative approach, with the advantage of known safety. To isolate natural inhibitors of VEGF, we established an in vitro tyrosine kinase assay to screen for diet-based agents that suppress VEGFR2 kinase activity. We found that a water-based extract from cinnamon (cinnamon extract, CE), one of the oldest and most popular spices, was a potent inhibitor of VEGFR2 kinase activity, directly inhibiting kinase activity of purified VEGFR2 as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase- and Stat3-mediated signaling pathway in endothelial cells. As a result, CE inhibited VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation in vitro, sprout formation from aortic ring ex vivo and tumor-induced blood vessel formation in vivo. Depletion of polyphenol from CE with polyvinylpyrrolidone abolished its anti-angiogenesis activity. While cinnamaldehyde, a component responsible for CE aroma, had little effect on VEGFR2 kinase activity, high-performance liquid chromatography-purified components of CE, procyanidin type A trimer (molecular weight, 864) and a tetramer (molecular weight, 1152) were found to inhibit kinase activity of purified VEGFR2 and VEGFR2 signaling, implicating procyanidin oligomers as active components in CE that inhibit angiogenesis. Our data revealed a novel activity in cinnamon and identified a natural VEGF inhibitor that could potentially be useful in cancer prevention and/or treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Harvesting and processing of leafy greens inherently cause plant tissue damage, creating niches on leaves that human pathogens can exploit. We previously demonstrated that Escherichia coli 0157:H7 (EcO157) multiplies more rapidly on shredded leaves than on intact leaves (M. T. Brandl, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 74:5285-5289, 2008). To investigate how EcO157 cells adapt to physicochemical conditions in injured lettuce tissue, we used microarray-based whole-genome transcriptional profiling to characterize gene expression patterns in EcO157 after 15- and 30-mm exposures to romaine lettuce lysates. Multiple carbohydrate transport systems that have a role in the utilization of substrates known to be prevalent in plant cells were activated in EcO157. This indicates the availability to the human pathogen of a variety of carbohydrates released from injured plant cells that may promote its extensive growth in leaf lysates and, thus, in wounded leaf tissue. In addition, microarray analysis revealed the upregulation of numerous genes associated with EcO157 attachment and virulence, with oxidative stress and antimicrobial resistance (including the OxyR and Mar regulons), with detoxification of noxious compounds, and with DNA repair. Upregulation of oxidative stress and antimicrobial resistance genes in EcO157 was confirmed on shredded lettuce by quantitative reverse transcription- PCR. We further demonstrate that this adaptation to stress conditions imparts the pathogen with increased resistance to hydrogen peroxide and calcium hypochlorite. This enhanced resistance to chlorinated sanitizers combined with increased expression of virulence determinants and multiplication at sites of injury on the leaves may help explain the association of processed leafy greens with outbreaks of EcO157.

AB  - Circadian clocks synchronize internal processes with environmental cycles to ensure optimal timing of biological events on daily and seasonal time scales. External light and temperature cues set the core molecular oscillator to local conditions. In Arabidopsis, EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) is thought to act as an evening-specific repressor of light signals to the clock, thus serving a zeitnehmer function. Circadian rhythms were examined in completely darkgrown, or etiolated, null eIf3-1 seedlings, with the clock entrained by thermocycles, to evaluate whether the eIf3 mutant phenotype was light-dependent. Circadian rhythms were absent from etiolated eIf3-1 seedlings after exposure to temperature cycles, and this mutant failed to exhibit classic indicators of entrainment by temperature cues, consistent with global clock dysfunction or strong perturbation of temperature signaling in this background. Warm temperature pulses failed to elicit acute induction of temperatureresponsive genes in eIf3-1. In fact, warm temperature-responsive genes remained in a constitutively "ON" state because of clock dysfunction and, therefore, were insensitive to temperature signals in the normal time of day-specific manner. These results show ELF3 is broadly required for circadian clock function regardless of light conditions, where ELF3 activity is needed by the core oscillator to allow progression from day to night during either light or temperature entrainment. Furthermore, robust circadian rhythms appear to be a prerequisite for etiolated seedlings to respond correctly to temperature signals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Ticks, as blood-feeding ectoparasites, affect their hosts both directly and as vectors of viral, bacterial and protozoal diseases. The tick''s mode of feeding means it must maintain intimate contact with the host in the face of host defensive responses for a prolonged time. The parasite–host interactions are characterized by the host response and parasite counter-response which result in a highly complex biological system that is barely understood. We conducted transcriptomic analyses utilizing suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) to identify transcripts associated with host attachment and feeding of larval, adult female and adult male ticks. Five SSH libraries resulted in 511 clones (assembled into 36 contigs and 90 singletons) from differentially expressed transcripts isolated from unattached frustrated larvae (95), feeding larvae (159), unattached frustrated adult female ticks (68), feeding adult female ticks (95) and male adult ticks (94 clones). Unattached ‘frustrated’ ticks were held in fabric bags affixed to cattle for up to 24h to identify genes up-regulated prior to host penetration. Sequence analysis was based on BLAST, Panther, KOG and domain (CDD) analyses to assign functional groups for proteins including: cuticle proteins, enzymes (ATPases), ligand binding (histamine binding), molecular chaperone (prefoldin), nucleic acid binding (ribosomal proteins), putative salivary proteins, serine proteases, stress response (heat shock, glycine rich) and transporters. An additional 63% of all contigs and singletons were novel R. microplus transcripts or predicted proteins of unknown function. Expression was confirmed using quantitative real time PCR analysis of selected transcripts. This is the first comprehensive analysis of the R. microplus transcriptome from multiple stages of ticks and assists to elucidate the molecular events during tick attachment and development.

AB  - This study compares body composition characteristics with performance among participants in a 161-km trail ultramarathon. Height, mass, and percent body fat from bioimpedance spectroscopy were measured on 72 starters (17 women, 55 men). Correlation analyses were used to compare body characteristics with finish time, and unpaired t-tests were used to compare characteristics of finishers with non-finishers. Mean (± SD) BMI (kg·m-2) was 24.8±2.7 (range 19.1-32.2) for the men and 21.2±2.1 (range 18.1-26.7) for the women. Among the three fastest runners, BMI values ranged from 22.1 to 23.4 for men and 21.5 to 22.9 for women. Mean (± SD) percent body fat values for men and women were 17±5 (range 5-35) and 21±6 (range 10-29), and ranged from 6 to 14 and 14 to 27 among the fastest three men and women. There was a significant positive correlation (r2 = 0.23; p = 0.0025) between percent body fat and finish time for men but not for women, and percent body fat values were lower for finishers than non-finishers for men (p = 0.03) and women (p=0.04). We conclude that despite wide variations in BMI and percent body fat among ultramarathon participants, the faster men have lower percent body fat values than the slower men, and finishers have lower percent body fat values than non-finishers.

Solvent refined low sulfur paraffinic mineral oil (150Â N oil) and conventional food grade soybean oil (soy oil) with EP additive concentration of 0â20% (w/w) were used in ASTM D2783 four-ball extreme pressure (4-ball EP) and Twist Compression Tribotests (TCT). Weld points in 4-ball EP and times to failure in TCT at 200Â MPa showed that 150Â N oil needed more than double treat levels of EP additives to achieve similar boundary lubrication performance as their 5% blends in soy oil. Also, incorporation of 20% soy oil into 150Â N oil-based EP additive blends improved the performance to nearly the same level as soy oil only blends of corresponding additives. Boundary lubricity of some soy oil samples was similar to that of a commercial straight oil chlorinated metal forming lubricant. Several suggestions are provided to explain such pronounced influence of the base stock type on EP additive response. The findings suggest that soy oil and other farm-based oils may provide strategies for formulating cost effective industrial fluids and other lubricants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A new species, Harpirhynchus quasimodo n. sp., is described from Molothrus ater (Boddeart) (Passeriformes: Icteridae) in Florida, USA. The new species differs from the three other species known in this genus by the presence of a hump-like process at the anterior part of the propodonotum in males. The new species is close to Harpirhynchus dusbabeki Bochkov and Literak, 2006, from Panurus biarmicus (L.) (Passeriformes: Timaliidae) captured in Slovakia. It differs from this species by the following characters: in females and males of H. quasimodo, the body lengths, including gnathosoma, are 500-510 and 390-410 μm, respectively (vs. 410-470 and 285-310 μm in H. dusbabeki); subcapitular setae m are always absent (vs. present or absent in H. dusbabeki); apical segments of legs III and IV bear five or six setae (vs. five setae in H. dusbabeki); and in males, setae vi are 33-35 μm long, or about three times shorter than ve (vs. 4-6 μm long, 9-10 times shorter than ve in H. dusbabeki).

AB  - Abstract: Microbial cross-contamination either at home or production site is one of the major factors of causing contamination of foods and leading to the foodborne illness. The knowledge regarding Escherichia coli O157:H7 surface transfer on ready-to-eat (RTE) deli meat and the slicer used for slicing different RTE products are needed to ensure RTE food safety. The objectives of this study were to investigate and to model the surface cross-contamination of E. coli O157:H7 during slicing operation. A five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 was inoculated directly onto a slicer''s round blade rim area at an initial level of ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/blade (ca. 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 log CFU/cm2 of the blade edge area), and then the RTE deli meat (ham) was sliced to a thickness of 1–2 mm. For another cross-contamination scenario, a clean blade was initially used to slice ham which was pre-surface-inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/100 cm2 area), then, followed by slicing un-inoculated ham. Results showed that the developed empirical models were reasonably accurate in describing the transfer trend/pattern of E. coli O157:H7 between the blade and ham slices when the total inoculum level was ≥5 log CFU on the ham or blade. With an initial inoculum level at ≤4 log CFU, the experimental data showed a rather random microbial surface transfer pattern. The models, i.e., a power equation for direct-blade-surface-inoculation, and an exponential equation for ham-surface-inoculation are microbial load and sequential slice index dependent. The surface cross-contamination prediction of E. coli O157:H7 for sliced deli meat (ham) using the developed models were demonstrated. The empirical models may provide a useful tool in developing the RTE meat risk assessment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Semisolid powder forming is a promising approach for near-net shape forming of features in macro-/microscale. In this paper; viscosity and phase segregation behavior of Al-Si powders in the semisolid state were studied with back extrusion experiments. The effects of process parameters including shear rate, extrusion ratio, heating time, and precompaction pressure were analyzed using the design of experiments method. The results showed that the effects of shear rate, extrusion, ratio and heating time were statistically significant factors influencing the viscosity. The semisolid state powders showed a shear thinning behavior Moreover; microstructure analysis of extruded parts indicated severe phase segregation during the forming process. As the extrusion opening became small (∼400 μm), the phase segregation increased. This study expanded the semisolid processing technology by exploring the use of powdered materials instead of typical bulk materials for applications in micro-/mesomanufacturing. Replacing bulk materials with powdered materials may add a new dimension to the technique by allowing tailoring of material properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Cyanobacteria and some chemoautotrophic bacteria are able to grow in environments with limiting CO2 concentrations by employing a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) that allows them to accumulate inorganic carbon in their cytoplasm to concentrations several orders of magnitude higher than that on the outside. The final step of this process takes place in polyhedral protein microcompartments known as carboxysomes, which contain the majority of the CO2-fixing enzyme, RubisCO. The efficiency of CO2 fixation by the sequestered RubisCO is enhanced by co-localization with a specialized carbonic anhydrase that catalyzes dehydration of the cytoplasmic bicarbonate and ensures saturation of RubisCO with its substrate, CO2. There are two genetically distinct carboxysome types that differ in their protein composition and in the carbonic anhydrase(s) they employ. Here we review the existing information concerning the genomics, structure and enzymology of these uniquely adapted carbonic anhydrases, which are of fundamental importance in the global carbon cycle.

AB  - The herbicide glyphosate became widely used in the United States and other parts of the world after the commercialization of glyphosate-resistant crops. These crops have constitutive overexpression of a glyphosate-insensitive form of the herbicide target site gene, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Increased use of glyphosate over multiple years imposes selective genetic pressure on weed populations. We investigated recently discovered glyphosate-resistantAmaranthuspalmeri populations from Georgia, in comparison with normally sensitive populations. EPSPS enzyme activity from resistant and susceptible plants was equally inhibited by glyphosate, which led us to use quantitative PCR to measure relative copy numbers of the EPSPS gene. Genomes of resistant plants contained from 5-fold to more than 160-fold more copies of the EPSPS gene than did genomes of susceptible plants. Quantitative RT-PCR on cDNA revealed that EPSPS expression was positively correlated with genomic EPSPS relative copy number. Immunoblot analyses showed that increased EPSPS protein level also correlated with EPSPSgenomic copy number. EPSPS gene amplification was heritable, correlated with resistance in pseudo-F2 populations, and is proposed to be the molecular basis of glyphosate resistance. FISH revealed that EPSPS genes were present on every chromosome and, therefore, gene amplification was likely not caused by unequal chromosome crossing over. This occurrence of gene amplification as an herbicide resistance mechanism in a naturally occurring weed population is particularly significant because it could threaten the sustainable use of glyphosate-resistant crop technology.

AB  - Abstract: A long-unresolved question in the developmental biology of Drosophila melanogaster has been whether methyl farnesoid hormones secreted by the ring gland are necessary for larval maturation and metamorphosis. In this study, we have used RNAi techniques to inhibit 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl CoA Reductase (HMGCR) expression selectively in the corpora allatal cells that produce the circulating farnesoid hormones. The developing larvae manifest a number of developmental, metabolic and morphogenetic derangements. These defects included the exhibition of an “ultraspiracle” death phenotype at the 1st to 2nd instar larval molt, similar to that exhibited by animals that are null for the farnesoid receptor ultraspiracle. The few larvae surviving past a second lethal period at the 2nd to 3rd instar larval molt, again with “ultraspiracle” phenotype, often became developmentally arrested after either attaining a misformed puparium or after formation of the white pupa. Survival past the “ultraspiracle” lethal phenotype could be rescued by dietary provision of an endogenous dedicated precursor to the three naturally secreted methyl farnesoid hormones. In addition to these developmental and morphogenetic defects, most larvae that survived to the late second instar exhibited a posterior-originating melanization of the tracheal system. These results support the hypothesis that larval methyl farnesoid hormones are necessary for larval survival and morphogenetic transformation through the larval and pupal metamorphic processes.

AB  - Abstract: Readily available proteins were tested as renewable flocculants, and their actions were compared to that of anionic PAM, a common, commercial flocculant that requires the coaddition of a calcium ion source. Two soy proteins, a whey fraction, a porcine gelatin, and a meat & bone meal (MBM) extract were used in the flocculation test. It was found that MBM extract and porcine gelatin promoted clay flocculation, and flocculation was complete by 24h with or without the addition of calcium chloride. The other tested proteins did not promote clay flocculation, but all of the proteins were found to be adsorbed to clay. The protein adsorptions were well described by the Langmuir model, and gelatin and MBM extract had higher maximum adsorption capacities than the other proteins. Zwitterionic buffer solutions at pH 5.5, 7.0, and 10.0 were tested in the flocculation experiments. Addition of the pH 5.5 buffer caused the two soy proteins to become clay flocculants and lowered the concentration of gelatin and MBM extract necessary to promote complete flocculation by 24h. Calcium chloride was not required for flocculation. Under optimal testing conditions, the dried weight of gelatin or MBM extract was 2.6 and 17 times higher, respectively, than the weight of anionic PAM required for complete flocculation at 24h.

AB  - Increased nutrient mobilization by human activities represents one of the greatest threats to global ecosystems, but its effects on ecosystem productivity can differ depending on food web structure. When this structure facilitates efficient energy transfers to higher trophic levels, evidence from previous large-scale enrichments suggests that nutrients can stimulate the production of multiple trophic levels. Here we report results from a 5-year continuous nutrient enrichment of a forested stream that increased primary consumer production, but not predator production. Because of strong positive correlations between predator and prey production (evidence of highly efficient trophic transfers) under reference conditions, we originally predicted that nutrient enrichment would stimulate energy flow to higher trophic levels. However, enrichment decoupled this strong positive correlation and produced a nonlinear relationship between predator and prey production. By increasing the dominance of large-bodied predator-resistant prey, nutrient enrichment truncated energy flow to predators and reduced food web efficiency. This unexpected decline in food web efficiency indicates that nutrient enrichment, a ubiquitous threat to aquatic ecosystems, may have unforeseen and unpredictable effects on ecosystem structure and productivity.

AB  - Abstract: Supply of corn stover to produce heat and power for a typical 170dam3 dry mill ethanol plant is proposed. The corn ethanol plant requires 5.6MW of electricity and 52.3MW of process heat, which creates the annual stover demand of as much as 140Gg. The corn stover supply system consists of collection, pre-processing, transportation and on-site fuel storage and preparation to produce heat and power for the ethanol plant. Economics of the entire supply system was conducted using the Integrated Biomass Supply Analysis and Logistics (IBSAL) simulation model. Corn stover was delivered in three formats (square bales, dry chops and pellets) to the combined heat and power plant. Delivered cost of biomass ready to be burned was calculated at 73$ Mg−1 for bales, 86$ Mg−1 for pellets and 84$ Mg−1 for field chopped biomass. Among the three formats of stover supply systems, delivered cost of pelleted biomass was the highest due to high pelleting cost. Bulk transport of biomass in the form of chops and pellets can provide a promising future biomass supply logistic system in the US, if the costs of pelleting and transport are minimized.

AB  - On the basis of updated fracture and mortality data, we recommend that the base population values used in the US version of FRAX® be revised. The impact of suggested changes is likely to be a lowering of 10-year fracture probabilities. Evaluation of results produced by the US version of FRAX® indicates that this tool overestimates the likelihood of major osteoporotic fracture. In an attempt to correct this, we updated underlying fracture and mortality rates for the model. We used US hospital discharge data from 2006 to calculate annual age- and sex-specific hip fracture rates and age-specific ratios to estimate clinical vertebral fracture rates. To estimate the incidence of any one of four major osteoporotic fractures, we first summed these newly derived hip and vertebral fracture estimates with Olmsted County, MN, wrist and upper humerus fracture rates, and then applied 10–20% discounts for overlap. Compared with rates used in the current FRAX® tool, 2006 hip fracture rates are about 16% lower, with greatest reductions observed among those below age 65 years; major osteoporotic fracture rates are about one quarter lower, with similar reductions across all ages. We recommend revising the US-FRAX by updating current base population values for hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture. The impact of these revisions on FRAX® is likely to be lowering of 10-year fracture probabilities, but more precise estimates of the impact of these changes will be available after these new rates are incorporated into the FRAX® tool.

AB  - A revision (version 3.0) of the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX®) is developed based on an update of epidemiological information for the USA. With the revised tool, there were strong correlations ( r > 0.99) between versions 2.0 and 3.0 for FRAX® estimates of fracture probability, but the revised models gave lower probability estimates. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a revision of the epidemiological data used to compute fracture probabilities in the USA with FRAX®. Models were constructed to compute fracture probabilities based on updated fracture incidence and mortality rates in the USA. The models comprised the ten-year probability of hip fracture and the ten-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture, both including femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD). For each model, fracture and death hazards were computed as continuous functions. The effect of the revised rates on fracture probability was examined by piecewise linear regression using multiple combinations of clinical risk factors and BMD. At all ages, there was a strong correlation ( r > 0.99) between version 2.0 and revised FRAX® estimates of fracture probability. For a major osteoporotic fracture, the revised model gave lower median probabilities by 13% to 24% in men, depending on age, and by 19% to 24% in women. For hip fracture probability, the revised model gave lower median fracture probabilities by 40% and 27% at the ages of 50 and 60 years in men and by 43% and 30%, respectively, in women. At the ages of 70 years and older the revised model gave similar hip fracture probabilities as version 2.0 in both men and women. The revised FRAX® model for the USA (version 3.0) does not alter the ranking of fracture probabilities but provides lower probability estimates than version 2.0, particularly, in younger women and men.

AB  - Metal nanoparticles with precisely controlled size and composition are highly attractive for heterogeneous catalysis. However, their poor thermal stability remains a major hurdle on the way towards application at realistic technical conditions. Recent progress in this area has focused on nanostructured oxides to stabilize embedded metal nanoparticles. Here, we report an alternative approach that relies on synthesizing bimetallic nanoparticles with precise compositional control to obtain improved high-temperature stability. We find that PtRh nanoparticles with sufficiently high Rh content survive extended calcination at temperatures up to ∼850 ∘C without significant sintering. For lower Rh content, sacrificial self-stabilization of individual nanoparticles through a distillation-like process is observed: the low-melting-point metal (Pt) bleeds out and the increasing concentration of the high-melting-point metal (Rh) leads to re-stabilization of the remaining nanoparticle. This principle of thermal self-stabilization should be broadly applicable to the development of multi-metallic nanomaterials for a broad range of high-temperature applications.

AB  - Background: US legislation requires the use of advanced biofuels to be made from non-food feedstocks. However, commercialization of lignocellulosic ethanol technology is more complex than expected and is therefore running behind schedule. This is creating a demand for non-food, but more easily converted, starch-based feedstocks other than corn that can fill the gap until the second generation technologies are commercially viable. Winter barley is such a feedstock but its mash has very high viscosity due to its high content of β-glucans. This fact, along with a lower starch content than corn, makes ethanol production at the commercial scale a real challenge. Results: A new fermentation process for ethanol production from Thoroughbred, a winter barley variety with a high starch content, was developed. The new process was designated the EDGE (enhanced dry grind enzymatic) process. In this process, in addition to the normal starch-converting enzymes, two accessory enzymes were used to solve the β- glucan problem. First, β-glucanases were used to hydrolyze the β-glucans to oligomeric fractions, thus significantly reducing the viscosity to allow good mixing for the distribution of the yeast and nutrients. Next, β-glucosidase was used to complete the β-glucan hydrolysis and to generate glucose, which was subsequently fermented in order to produce additional ethanol. While β-glucanases have been previously used to improve barley ethanol production by lowering viscosity, this is the first full report on the benefits of adding β-glucosidases to increase the ethanol yield. Conclusions: In the EDGE process, 30% of total dry solids could be used to produce 15% v/v ethanol. Under optimum conditions an ethanol yield of 402 L/MT (dry basis) or 2.17 gallons/53 lb bushel of barley with 15% moisture was achieved. The distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) co-product had extremely low β-glucan (below 0.2%) making it suitable for use in both ruminant and mono-gastric animal feeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) is a salt-tolerant crop, the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance remain to be elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the response of salt-tolerant (K305) and salt-sensitive (I743) cultivars to salt stress at both physiological and molecular levels. Salt treatment increased xylem sap osmolarity, which was attributed primarily to a rise in Na+ and Cl− concentration; enhanced accumulation of the ions in shoots; and reduced plant growth more severely in I743 than K305. The concentration of K+ in roots and shoots decreased during 8 h of salt treatment in both cultivars but with no marked difference between cultivars. Hence, the severe growth reduction in I743 is attributed to the elevated levels of (mainly) Na+ in shoots. Analysis of gene expression using quantitative RT-PCR showed that transcripts of K+-transporters ( HvHAK1 and HvAKT1), vacuolar H+-ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase ( HvHVA/68 and HvHVP1) were more abundant in shoots of K305 than in shoots of I743. Expression of HvHAK1 and Na+/H+ antiporters ( HvNHX1, HvNHX3 and HvNHX4) was higher in roots of K305 than in I743 with prolonged exposure to salt. Taken together, these results suggest that the better performance of K305 compared to I743 during salt stress may be related to its greater ability to sequester Na+ into sub-cellular compartments and/or maintain K+ homeostasis.

AB  - Abstract: A recombinant live attenuated influenza virus ΔH5N1 vaccine with a modified hemagglutinin (HA) and intact neuraminidase genes from A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) and six remaining genome segments from A/Ann Arbor/6/60 (H2N2) cold-adapted (AA ca) virus was previously shown to be attenuated in chickens, mice and ferrets. Evaluation of the recombinant H5N1 viruses in mice indicated that three independent factors contributed to the attenuation of the ΔH5N1 vaccine: the attenuating mutations specified by the AA ca loci had the greatest influence, followed by the deletion of the H5 HA multi-basic cleavage site (MBS), and the constellation effects of the AA genes acting in concert with the H5N1 glycoproteins. Restoring the MBS in the H5 HA of the vaccine virus improved its immunogenicity and efficacy, likely as a consequence of increased virus replication, indicating that removal of the MBS had a deleterious effect on the immunogenicity and efficacy of the ΔH5N1 vaccine in mice.

AB  - Abstract: The catalytic performance of Ni dispersed on ceria-doped supports, (Ce0.88La0.12) O2-x, (Ce0.91Gd0.09) O2-x, (Ce0.71Gd0.29) O2-x, (Ce0.56Zr0.44) O2-x and pure ceria, was tested for the catalytic partial oxidation of Methane (CPOX). The catalysts were characterized by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and temperature programmed oxidation (TPO). Ni/ (Ce0.56Zr0.44) O2-x showed higher Hydrogen production than the Ni/Gadolinium-doped catalysts, which may be due to its higher reducibility and surface area. By enhancing the support reducibility in Ni/doped-ceria catalysts, their catalytic activity is promoted because the availability of surface lattice oxygen is increased, which can participate in the formation of CO and H2. It was also found that Ni/(Ce0.56Zr0.44) O2-x showed higher catalytic performance after redox pretreatments. Similarly, a higher amount of H2 or O2 was consumed during hydrogenation and oxidation pretreatments, respectively. This may be correlated to re-dispersion of metallic particles and changes on the metal-support interface. In addition, it was observed that the ionic conductivity of Ni/(Ce0.56Zr0.44) O2-x had an effect on the amount of carbon formed during the CPOX reaction at oxygen concentrations lower than the stoichiometric required, O/C ratios lower than 0.6. Its high oxygen mobility may have accelerated the surface oxidation reactions of carbon by reactive oxygen species, thus, inhibiting carbon growth on the catalyst surface. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A compound that contains a Lewis acidic boron center and coordinating oxazoline groups, bis(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenylborane (PhB(OxMe2)2; 1), has been prepared and spectroscopically characterized. Solvent dependent 15N and 11B NMR spectroscopic properties and solid-state 11B NMR measurements provide support for intermolecular interactions involving Lewis acid and base sites. The bifunctional nature of oxazolinylborane 1is demonstrated by its reaction with (AlMe3)2, which proceeds viamethide abstraction by the boron and oxazoline coordination to aluminum to yield [(κ2-PhMeB(OxMe2)2AlMe2] (2). Compound 2contains a planar six-membered chelate ring, in contrast to related bis(pyrazolyl)boratoaluminum compounds that are puckered. Additionally, compound 2and related bidentate tris(oxazolinyl)phenylborato dimethylaluminum are inert toward aluminum-methyl bond protonolysis. This robust nature suggested the possibility of using these oxazolinylboratoaluminum compounds in catalytic reactions, as is demonstrated by lactide ring-opening polymerization.

AB  - Abstract: The levels of flavonoids in blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) were found to increase after illumination with UV-C. Phytochemicals affected included resveratrol, myricetin-3-arabinoside, quercetin-3-galactoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, kaempferol-3-glucuronide, delphinidin-3-galactoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, delphinidin-3-arabinoside, petunidin-3-galactoside, petunidin-3-glucoside, petunidin-3-arabinoside, malvidin-3-galactoside, malvidin-3-arabinoside, and chlorogenic acid as analyzed by HPLC. Significantly higher antioxidant capacity was detected in fruit treated with 2.15, 4.30, or 6.45kJm−2 compared to the control fruit. UV-C dosage of 0.43kJm−2 also increased phenolics and anthocyanins, but to a lesser extent. The optimum doses of UV-C for enhancing phytochemical content in blueberries were 2.15 and 4.30kJm−2. These data suggest that proper use of UV-C illumination is capable of modifying the phytochemical content of blueberries. Time course measurements of the effects of UV-C revealed that the strongest responses of fruit to UV-C treatment occurred instantly after the illumination and the effects diminished with time. Therefore, even though residual effects were evident following UV-C exposure, the best results were obtained immediately after the treatment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - OBJECTIVE: We explored potential associations of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ; +45T>G, rs2241766 and +276G>T, rs1501299) with circulating total and high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin, insulin resistance (IR), and markers of obesity in a healthy Greek female population. DESIGN AND METHODS: The two SNPs were genotyped in 349 women without diabetes (mean age: 47.0±12.1 years, mean body mass index: 28.9±5.6 kg/m2). Total and HMW adiponectin concentrations, body composition variables, IR parameters, and plasma lipid levels were determined. RESULTS: In single SNP analysis adjusting for several potential confounders, SNP +276G>T was associated with higher fasting insulin levels (P=0.01) and higher homeostasis model assessment index for IR (HOMA-IR; P=0.009), and SNP +45T>G was associated with lower insulin levels and HOMA-IR (P=0.05 and P=0.07 respectively). No association with total or HMW adiponectin, plasma lipid levels, and body composition variables was observed; however, haplotype analysis revealed that subjects homozygous for the most common +45T/+276G haplotype had lower total adiponectin levels than did noncarriers of this haplotype (P=0.02). The observed differences in HOMA-IR were very significant among women with a higher body fat (BF) percentage (≥ the population median of 41%; all P≤0.005), but not among leaner individuals (P for interactions 0.01–0.07), thus suggesting that ADIPOQ effects on insulin sensitivity may depend upon BF status. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest a significant role of ADIPOQ variants at positions +45 and +276 in the development of IR in healthy Greek women possibly through an interaction with BF.

AB  - Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains the most severe gastrointestinal disorder in preterm infants. It is associated with the initiation of enteral nutrition and may be related to immature carbohydrate digestive capacity. We tested the hypothesis that a formula containing maltodextrin vs. a formula containing lactose as the principal source of carbohydrate would predispose preterm pigs to a higher NEC incidence. Cesarean-derived preterm pigs were given total parenteral nutrition for 48 h followed by total enteral nutrition with a lactose-based (n = 11) or maltodextrin- based (n = 11) formula for 36 h. A higher incidence (91% vs. 27%) and severity (score of 3.3 vs. 1.8) of NEC were observed in the maltodextrin than in the lactose group. This higher incidence of NEC in the maltodextrin group was associated with significantly lower activities of lactase, maltase, and aminopeptidase; reduced villus height; transiently reduced in vivo aldohexose uptake; and reduced ex vivo aldohexose uptake capacity in the middle region of the small intestine. Bacterial diversity was low for both diets, but alterations in bacterial composition and luminal concentrations of short-chain fatty acids were observed in the maltodextrin group. In a second study, we quantified net portal absorption of aldohexoses (glucose and galactose) during acute jejunal infusion of a maltodextrin- or a lactose- based formula (n = 8) into preterm pigs. We found lower net portal aldohexose absorption (4% vs. 42%) and greater intestinal recovery of undigested carbohydrate (68% vs. 27%) in pigs acutely perfused with the maltodextrin-based formula than those perfused with the lactose-based formula. The higher digestibility of the lactose than the maltodextrin in the formulas can be attributed to a 5- to 20-fold higher hydrolytic activity of tissue-specific lactase than maltases. We conclude that carbohydrate maldigestion is sufficient to increase the incidence and severity of NEC in preterm pigs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We constructed a two-locus database, comprising partial translation elongation factor (EF-1α) gene sequences and nearly full-length sequences of the nuclear ribosomal intergenic spacer region (IGS rDNA) for 850 isolates spanning the phylogenetic breadth of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC). Of the 850 isolates typed, 101 EF-1α, 203 IGS rDNA, and 256 two-locus sequence types (STs) were differentiated. Analysis of the combined dataset suggests that two-thirds of the STs might be associated with a single host plant. This analysis also revealed that the 26 STs associated with human mycoses were genetically diverse, including several which appear to be nosocomial in origin. A congruence analysis, comparing partial EF-1α and IGS rDNA bootstrap consensus, identified a significant number of conflicting relationships dispersed throughout the bipartitions, suggesting that some of the IGS rDNA sequences may be non-orthologous. We also evaluated enniatin, fumonisin and moniliformin mycotoxin production in vitro within a phylogenetic framework. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Molecular gradients are important for various biological processes including the polarization of tissues and cells during embryogenesis and chemotaxis. Investigations of these phenomena require control over the chemical microenvironment of cells. We present a technique to set up molecular concentration patterns that are chemically, spatially and temporally flexible. Our strategy uses optically manipulated microsources, which steadily release molecules. Our technique enables the control of molecular concentrations over length scales down to about 1 μm and timescales from fractions of a second to an hour. We demonstrate this technique by manipulating the motility of single human neutrophils. We induced directed cell polarization and migration with microsources loaded with the chemoattractant formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine. Furthermore, we triggered highly localized retraction of lamellipodia and redirection of polarization and migration with microsources releasing cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization.

AB  - Abstract: Used cooking or frying oils are of increasing interest as inexpensive feedstock for biodiesel production. In this work, used frying oils obtained from 16 local restaurants were investigated regarding their fatty acid profile vs. the fatty acid profile of the oil or fat prior to use. The fatty acid profiles were analyzed by gas chromatography and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Besides the fatty acid profile, the acid value and dynamic viscosity of the samples were determined. Dynamic viscosity was determined because of non-Newtonian behavior of some samples. The results indicate that oils and fats experience various degrees of increase in saturation during cooking/frying use, with the magnitude of these changes varying from sample to sample, i.e., a high degree of randomness of composition is found in used frying oil samples. Properties of the samples that were investigated were acid value and viscosity which consistently increased with use, also in a random fashion. Multiple independent samples obtained from the same restaurants indicate that there is little consistency of used cooking oil obtained from the same source. These results are discussed with regards to the potential fuel properties of biodiesel derived from these used frying oils. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ice cream has been manufactured commercially in the United States since the middle of the 19th century. Ice cream and frozen dessert products comprise an important and relatively stable component of the United States dairy industry. As with many other dairy products, ice cream is differentiated in several dimensions. A censored translog demand system model was employed to analyze purchases of 3 ice cream product categories. The objective of this study was to determine the effect that changes in retail prices and consumer income have on at-home ice cream consumption. The analysis was based on Nielsen 2005 home scan retail data and used marital status, age, race, education, female employment status, and location in the estimations of aggregate demand elasticities. Results revealed that price and consumer income were the main determinants of demand for ice cream products. Calculated own-price elasticities indicated relatively elastic responses by consumers for all categories except for compensated bulk ice cream. All expenditure elasticities were inelastic except for bulk ice cream, and most of the ice cream categories were substitutes. Ongoing efforts to examine consumer demand for these products will assist milk producers, dairy processors and manufacturers, and dairy marketers as they face changing consumer responses to food and diet issues.

AB  - The aim of this study was to examine changes in RNA expression for growth factors, cytokines, and receptors in epidermal-dermal tissues of the bovine claw relative to host age, claw segment, and disease state of the horn. Epidermal-dermal tissues were collected from the coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segments of 8- to 9-mo-old Holstein fetuses, normal adult cows, and adult cows with sole ulceration. Anatomic and pathologic characteristics were determined in tissues stained with eosin and hematoxylin, and RNA expression levels were evaluated using real-time, quantitative PCR. In normal tissues, certain RNA expression levels were clearly affected by host age: 290.0-, 610.0-, 53.4-, and 8.1-fold greater expression of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor was observed in fetal coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segment relative to adult tissues, respectively. A claw segment effect was also observed in that IL-1α expression was greater (1.59-fold) in the normal adult wall relative to the coronary segment, and IL- 18 expression was greater (16.2-fold) in the normal adult sole compared with the coronary segment and 2.88 greater in the fetal sole relative to the bulb segment. Sole ulceration was associated with hemorrhage, thrombosis, inflammation, and striking increases in IL-1β, IL-18, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and with less dramatic, albeit measurable, changes in IL-1 type I receptor, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Amidst striking increases in keratinocyte growth factor receptor (i.e., 21.0-fold, 10.4-fold, 0, and 21.6-fold in the coronary, wall, sole, and bulb segments, respectively), a concomitant decrease occurred in keratinocyte growth factor (i.e., 0.80-, 0.54-, 0.56-, and 0.72-fold, respectively). The results demonstrated changes in disease state and, to a lesser extent, claw segment and were accompanied by alterations in the RNA expression of several cytokines, growth factors, and receptors present in the normal claw.

AB  - Breeding efforts to improve resistance in dry bean to common bacterial blight (CBB) have focused on applying marker assisted selection strategies. We examined the interaction between two independent QTL (quantitative trait loci), SAP6 and SU91, on the expression of resistance to CBB in a pinto bean F2 population and dark red kidney bean F2 population. The disease reaction for each F2 population was scored at several time points after inoculation. The dominant SCAR markers SAP6 and SU91 were simultaneously genotyped as codominant markers using a multiplex real-time PCR assay. For both populations, at each time point plants having genotypes of (su91 su91//SAP6 SAP6); (su91 su91//SAP6 sap6), and (su91 su91//sap6 sap6) were significantly more susceptible to CBB than plants with any of the six other possible genotypes (SU91 _//_ _). Only two examples were observed across both populations and all time points in which mean disease reactions were significantly different between any of the six (SU91 _//_ _) genotypes. No significant differences were observed between SU91 SU91 and SU91 su91 genotypes at any time point for either F2 population. Similarly, no significant differences in CBB reaction were observed among the three SAP6 genotypes for plants that had the su 91/su91 genotype. The results indicate CBB resistance in these two populations is primarily conditioned by the presence of at least a single copy of the SU91 QTL. The effects of pathogen isolate and population on discerning the influence of QTL on CBB resistance are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor screening assay was developed and validated to detect 11 benzimidazole carbamate (BZT) veterinary drug residues in milk. The polyclonal antibody used was raised in sheep against a methyl 5(6)-[(carboxypentyl)-thio]-2-benzimidazole carbamate protein conjugate. A sample preparation procedure was developed using a modified QuEChERS method. BZT residues were extracted from milk using liquid extraction/partition with a dispersive solid phase extraction clean-up step. The assay was validated in accordance with the performance criteria described in 2002/657/EC. The limit of detection of the assay was calculated from the analysis of 20 known negative milk samples to be 2.7μgkg−1. The detection capability (CCβ) of the assay was determined to be 5μgkg−1 for 11 benzimidazole residues and the mean recovery of analytes was in the range 81–116%. A comparison was made between the SPR-biosensor and UPLC–MS/MS analyses of milk samples (n =26) taken from cows treated different benzimidazole products, demonstrating the SPR-biosensor assay to be fit for purpose.

AB  - This study determined the effect of genetic variation, feed deprivation, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on weight loss, plasma IGF-I and growth hormone, and indexes of protein degradation in eight full-sibling families of rainbow trout. After 2 wk of feed deprivation, fish treated with IGF-I lost 16% less (P < 0.05) wet weight than untreated fish. Feed deprivation increased growth hormone (P < 0.05) and decreased IGF-I (P < 0.05), but hormone levels were not altered by IGF-I. Plasma 3-methylhistidine concentrations were not affected by IGF-I but were decreased after 2 wk (P < 0.05) and increased after 4 wk (P < 0.05) of feed deprivation. In white muscle, transcript abundance of genes in the ubiquitin-proteasome, lysosomal, and calpain- and caspase-dependent pathways were affected by feed deprivation (P < 0.05). IGF-I prevented the feed deprivation-induced upregulation of MAFbx (F-box) and cathepsin transcripts and reduced abundance of proteasomal mRNAs (P < 0.05), suggesting that reduction of protein degradation via these pathways may be partially responsible for the IGF-I-induced reduction of weight loss. Family variations in gene expression, IGF-I concentrations, and weight loss during fasting suggest genetic variation in the fasting response, with considerable impact on regulation of proteolytic pathways. These data indicate that nutrient availability, IGF-I, and genetic variation affect weight loss, in part through alterations of proteolytic pathways in rainbow trout, and that regulation of genes within these pathways is coordinated in a way that supports a similar physiological response.

T1  - Influence of zinc deficiency on Akt-Mdm2-p53 and Akt-p21 signaling axes in normal and malignant human prostate cells.

AB  - Phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), a phosphoinositide-3-OH-kinase-activated protein kinase, is highly expressed in prostate tumors. p-Akt can indirectly hinder p53-dependent growth suppression and apoptosis by phosphorylating Mdm2. Alternatively, p-Akt can directly phosphorylate p21 and restrict it to the cytoplasm for degradation. Because the prostate is the highest zinc-accumulating tissue before the onset of cancer, the effects of physiological levels of zinc on Akt-Mdm2-p53 and Akt-p21 signaling axes in human normal prostate epithelial cells (PrEC) and malignant prostate LNCaP cells were examined in the present study. Cells were cultured for 6 days in low-zinc growth medium supplemented with 0 [zinc-deficient (ZD)], 4 [zinc-normal (ZN)], 16 [zinc-adequate (ZA)], or 32 [zinc-supplemented (ZS)] μM zinc. Zinc status of both cell types was altered in a dose-dependent manner, with LNCaP cells reaching a plateau at >16 μM zinc. For both cell types, p-Akt was higher in the ZD than in the ZN cells and was normalized to that of the ZN cells by treatment with a PI3K inhibitor, LY-294002. PTEN, an endogenous phosphatase targeting Akt dephosphorylation, was hyperphosphorylated (p-PTEN, inactive form) in ZD PrEC. Nuclear p-Mdm2 was raised, whereas nuclear p53 was depressed, by zinc deficiency in PrEC. Nuclear p21 and p53 were lowered by zinc deficiency in LNCaP cells. Higher percentages of ZD, ZA, and ZS than ZN LNCaP cells were found at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, with proportionally lower precentages at the S and G2/M phases. Hence, the increased p-PTEN in ZD PrEC would result in hyperphosphorylation of p-Akt and p-Mdm2, as well as reduction of nuclear p53 accumulation. For ZD LNCaP cells, Akt hyperphosphorylation was probably mediated through p21 phosphorylation and degradation, thus restricting p21 nuclear entry to induce cell cycle arrest. Thus zinc deficiency differentially modulated the Akt-Mdm2p-53 signaling axis in normal prostate cells vs. the Akt-p21 signaling axis in malignant prostate cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. It is assumed that moderate exercise may improve resistance to infection and reduce inflammation, but there are limited data to support this assumption in an infection model. Methods. BALB/cJ mice were assigned to the following groups: no exercise (NON-EX), 1 session of acute exercise (A-EX), or chronic exercise for ~3.5 months (C-EX). Mice were infected with influenza (C-EX mice infected at rest; A-EX mice infected 15 min after exercise). Results. C-EX mice demonstrated the lowest severity of infection, assessed by body weight loss and food intake. There was less virus in the lungs at day 5 after infection in C-EX and A-EX mice compared with NON-EX mice (P = .02 ) and less virus at day 2 after infection only in C-EX mice (P = .07). Soon after infection (day 2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1β, and tumor necrosis factor α in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were lower in C-EX and A-EX than in NONEX mice. At day 5 after infection, the BAL fluid from C-EX (but not A-EX) mice had less IL-6, interleukin 12p40, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, keratinococyte-derived chemokine, and MCP-1 than that from NON-EX mice. A trend toward reduced immunopathologic response was found in C-EX mice. Conclusions. Chronic exercise resulted in reduced symptoms, virus load, and levels of inflammatory cytokine and chemokines. Acute exercise also showed some benefit, which was limited to the early phase of infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aureobasidium pullulans was the microorganism most frequently recovered from the surface of apple fruit (cv. Red Delicious) stored in commercial cold chambers for 6 months. In the present work, 10 isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans were assayed to determine if they could control blue and grey mold disease of apple during cold storage. Although nine of 10 isolates, significantly reduced the percentage of decayed wounds when compared to the control, one of them, designated isolate ApB, showed the highest levels of protection. ApB was able to grow in a wide range of temperatures lower than 35°C, which is an important human health safety factor. ApB was resistant to thiabendazole, iprodione and imazalil, the most commonly commercially applied fungicides in postharvest treatment of apples in Uruguay. Regarding the mechanisms of action of the selected biocontrol agent, lytic enzymes did not seem to play a central role. ApB depleted iron from nutrient media, which may be an important aspect of its ability to inhibit Botrytis cinerea. Further experiments are needed, however, to determine if the depletion of iron is caused by the production of siderophores, by the immobilization of iron in an insoluble pigment, or a combination of both.

AB  - Abstract: Guayule is a perennial shrub grown in the southwestern United States that is used to produce high quality, natural rubber latex. However, only about 10% of the plant material is used for latex production; the remaining biomass, called bagasse, can be used for renewable fuel production. Fast pyrolysis of guayule, both whole shrub and bagasse was performed. From both feedstocks a very viscous, high energy content (∼30MJ/kg) pyrolysis liquid (bio-oil) was produced in yields averaging over 60% without any catalyst. The properties and compositions of the bio-oils were found to be similar in the two feedstocks. Co-products, charcoal (20–30wt%) and non-condensable gas (5–15%), were also dense and had a high energy content. Of the two feedstocks, the whole shrub yielded higher quantities of charcoal that also had a higher energy content than the charcoal produced from bagasse. As a result, the energy recovery, estimated as the percentage of the energy products, to energy input into the reactor was lower (60%) for guayule bagasse than for the whole shrub (73%). This notwithstanding, the bagasse is a more attractive feedstock for thermochemical conversion, not only because it is a residue from a primary process (latex extraction) that is on-site, but also because it has a high energy content. Moreover, it produces high quality pyrolysis products. Co-production of latex rubber from the whole shrub and renewable fuels from the residual bagasse by pyrolysis should improve the already positive economics of the guayule latex rubber industry.

AB  - Abstract: The study of the ductile B2, CsCl-type AB intermetallic compounds has been expanded over the past few years in order to determine the underlying principles that account for their ductility. Using a global semi-empirical alloy theory approach together with first-principles band theory, we show that absence of d-band electrons near the Fermi level accounts for the observed ductility in over 90% of the phases studied to date. This model has been used to predict the ductile/brittle behavior in several other selected AB compounds. Considering the crystal structures of the known intermetallics, it is concluded that the existence of these ductile AB B2 compounds is an isolated situation because the von Mises criterion for ductility is met in the B2 materials, but not in other crystal structures.

AB  - The small RNA transcriptomes of bread wheat and its emerging model Brachypodium distachyon were obtained by using deep sequencing technology. Small RNA compositions were analyzed in these two species. In addition to 70 conserved microRNAs (miRNAs) from 25 families, 23 novel wheat miRNAs were identified. For Brachypodium, 12 putative miRNAs were predicted from a limited number of expressed sequence tags, of which one was a potential novel miRNA. Also, 94 conserved miRNAs from 28 families were identified in this species. Expression validation was performed for several novel wheat miRNAs. RNA ligase-mediated 5′ rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends experiments demonstrated their capability to cleave predicted target genes including three disease-resistant gene analogs. Differential expression of miRNAs was observed between Brachypodium vegetative and reproductive tissues, suggesting their different roles at the two growth stages. Our work significantly increases the novel miRNA numbers in wheat and provides the first set of small RNAs in B. distachyon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Agricultural by-products represent a considerable quantity of harvested commodity crops. The use of by-products as precursors for the production of widely used adsorbents, such as activated carbons, may impart a value-added component of the overall biomass harvested. Our objective in this paper is to show that flax shive and cotton gin waste can serve as a precursor for activated carbon that can be used for adsorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) from both the liquid and gas phases. Testing was conducted on carbon activated with phosphoric acid or steam. The results show that activated carbon made from flax shive performed better than select commercial activated carbons, especially at higher TCE concentrations. The activation method employed had little effect on TCE adsorption in gas or vapor phase studies but liquid phase studies suggested that steam activation is slightly better than phosphoric acid activation. As expected, the capacity for the activated carbons depended on the fluid phase equilibrium concentration. At a fluid concentration of 2mg of TCE/L of fluid, the capacity of the steam activated carbon made from flax shive was similar at 64 and 80mg TCE/g of carbon for the vapor and liquid phases, respectively. Preliminary cost estimates suggest that the production costs of such carbons are $1.50 to $8.90 per kg, depending on activation method and precursor material; steam activation was significantly less expensive than phosphoric acid activation.

AB  - Abstract: This study was conducted to compare thermal inactivation kinetics obtained using a pilot-scale pasteurizer and a bench-scale processing system. Pilot-scale pasteurizers are useful for product development, but comparisons on thermal inactivation kinetics with smaller scale systems are lacking. Using an Armfield pilot-scale pasteurizer and aluminum thermal-death-time (TDT) disks, the D-values and z-values of Escherichia coli K12 in apple cider were determined in the temperature range of 54–62°C. Come-up times to 58°C were also measured and were 35 and 61s for the TDT disks and pasteurizer, respectively. The D-values from the TDT disks were 9.66, 4.01, 1.44 and 0.44min at temperatures of 54, 56, 58, and 60°C, respectively. The D-values from the pasteurizer were 3.48, 1.22, 0.10 and 0.05min at temperatures of 56, 58, 60, and 62°C, respectively. The z-values from the TDT disks and the pasteurizer were 4.68 and 3.60°C, respectively. There was no significant (P >0.05) difference in the D-values of the TDT disks and pasteurizer at 56 and 58°C, while there was a significant (P <0.05) difference in the D-value at 60°C and in the z-value. This study revealed that the thermal inactivation kinetics obtained using bench scale TDT disks and an Armfield pilot-scale pasteurizer under certain conditions are similar. However, based on ease of use and other factors, TDT disks are preferable for acquiring thermal inactivation kinetics. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) represent an option to provide a bridging technology for energy conversion (coal syngas) as well as a long-term technology (hydrogen from biomass). Whether the fuel is coal syngas or hydrogen from biomass, the effect of impurities on the performance of the anode is a vital question. The anode resistivity during SOFC operation with phosphine-contaminated syngas was studied using the in situ Van der Pauw method. Commercial anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (Ni/YSZ composite anodes, YSZ electrolytes) were exposed to a synthetic coal syngas mixture (H2, H2O, CO, and CO2) at a constant current and their performance evaluated periodically with electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, and polarization curves). In one test, after 170h of phosphine exposure, a significant degradation of cell performance (loss of cell voltage, increase of series resistance and increase of polarization resistance) was evident. The rate of voltage loss was 1.4mVh−1. The resistivity measurements on Ni/YSZ anode by the in situ Van der Pauw method showed that there were no significant changes in anode resistivity both under clean syngas and syngas with 10ppm PH3. XRD analysis suggested that Ni5P2 and P2O5 are two compounds accumulated on the anode. XPS studies provided support for the presence of two phosphorus phases with different oxidation states on the external anode surface. Phosphorus, in a positive oxidation state, was observed in the anode active layer. Based on these observations, the effect of 10ppm phosphine impurity (or its reaction products with coal syngas) is assigned to the loss of performance of the Ni/YSZ active layer next to the electrolyte, and not to any changes in the thick Ni/YSZ support layer.

AB  - Abstract: The US Environmental Protection Agency’s 2004 Dioxin Reassessment included a characterization of background exposures to dioxin-like compounds, including an estimate of an average background intake dose and an average background body burden. These quantities were derived from data generated in the mid-1990s. Studies conducted in the 2000s were gathered in an attempt to update the estimates generated by the Reassessment. While these studies suggest declines in the average background dose and body burden, a precise quantification of this decline, much less a conclusion that a decline has indeed occurred, cannot be made because of the inconsistency of study design and data sources, and the treatment of non-detects in the generation of congener average concentrations. The average background intake of the Reassessment was 61.0pgTEQ/day, and using more current data, the average background intake was 40.6pgTEQ/day. The average body burden from the surveys in the mid-1990s was 22.9pgTEQ/g lipid weight (pg/glwt). More recent blood concentration data, from NHANES 2001/2, suggest an adult average at 21.7pg/g TEQ lwt. These TEQ values include the 17 dioxin and furan congeners and 3 coplanar PCBs, and were generated substituting ND=½DL or ND=DL/sq rt (2). Results are provided for ND=0 and analyses conducted to evaluate the impacts of this substitution. A more detailed examination of beef and pork data from similarly designed national statistical surveys show that declines in pork are statistically significant while the beef concentrations appeared to have remained constant between the time periods.

AB  - Abstract: The glucansucrase known as alternansucrase [EC 2.4.1.140] can transfer glucosyl units from sucrose to raffinose to give good yields of oligosaccharides, which may serve as prebiotics. The main products were the tetrasaccharides α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-α-d-Galp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1↔2)-β-d-Fruf and α-d-Glcp-(1→4)-α-d-Galp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1↔2)-β-d-Fruf in ratios ranging from 4:1 to 9:1, along with lesser amounts of α-d-Glcp-(1→6)-α-d-Galp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1↔2)-β-d-Fruf. Ten unusual pentasaccharide structures were isolated. Three of these arose from glucosylation of the major tetrasaccharide product, two each from the minor tetrasaccharides, and three were the result of glucosylations of the fructose acceptor product leucrose or isomaltulose. The major pentasaccharide product arose from glucosylation of the major tetrasaccharide at position 4 of the fructofuranosyl unit, to give a subunit structure analogous to that of maltulose. A number of hexasaccharides and higher oligosaccharides were also produced. Unlike alternansucrase, dextransucrase [EC 2.4.1.5] gave only a single tetrasaccharide product in low yield, and no significant amounts of higher oligosaccharides. The tetrasaccharide structure from dextransucrase was found to be α-d-Glcp-(1→4)-α-d-Galp-(1→6)-α-d-Glcp-(1↔2)-β-d-Fruf, which is at odds with the previously published structure.

AB  - Effects of a catastrophic blowdown event in northern Minnesota, USA were assessed using field inventory data, aerial sketch maps and satellite image data processed through the North American Forest Dynamics programme. Estimates were produced for forest area and net volume per unit area of live trees pre- and post-disturbance, and for changes in volume per unit area and total volume resulting from disturbance. Satellite image-based estimates of blowdown area were similar to estimates derived from inventory plots and aerial sketch maps. Overall accuracy of the image-based damage classification was over 90%. Compared to field inventory estimates, image-based estimates of post-blowdown mean volume per unit area were similar, but estimates of total volume loss were substantially larger, although inaccessibility of the most severely damaged inventory plots may have depressed the inventory-based estimate. This represents the first application of state model differencing to storm damage assessment. The image-based procedure can be applied to historical archives of satellite imagery and does not require pre-disturbance field inventory data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Background: Plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration is highly heritable but is also modifiable by environmental factors including physical activity. HDL-C response to exercise varies among individuals, and this variability may be associated with genetic polymorphisms in the key regulators of HDL metabolism including endothelial lipase (LIPG). Methods: We examined associations between variants LIPG T111I (rs2000813) and LIPG i24582 (rs6507931), HDL and television viewing/computer use (“screen time”) as a marker for physical inactivity in a population with high prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Subjects consisted of 539 White men and 584 women (mean±S.D., 49±16 years) participating in the GOLDN study. Results: We did not observe an association with either LIPG SNP or HDL independently of screen time. In multi-adjusted linear regression models, HDL interacted significantly with screen time as a continuous variable in LIPG i24582 subjects with TT genotype (P <0.05). By dichotomizing screen time into high and low levels, we found significant genotype-associated differences in HDL in women but not men. When screen time was ≥2.6h/day, the concentrations of total HDL-C, large HDL, large low density lipoprotein (LDL) were lower, the concentration of small LDL was higher and HDL and LDL particle sizes were smaller in subjects with LIPG i24582 TT compared to CT and CC subjects (P <0.05). Conclusions: We found a significant gene-physical inactivity interaction for HDL and some LDL measures for the LIPG i24582 polymorphism. Higher levels of physical activity may be protective for HDL-C concentrations and low activity detrimental in LIPG i24582 TT individuals, especially in women. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Over time, many single, all-stage resistance genes to stripe rust ( Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) are circumvented by race changes in the pathogen. In contrast, high-temperature, adult-plant resistance (HTAP), which only is expressed during the adult-plant stage and when air temperatures are warm, provides durable protection against stripe rust. Our objective was to identify major quantitative trait loci (QTL) for HTAP resistance to stripe rust in the spring wheat cultivar ‘Louise’. The mapping population consisted of 188 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) from a Louise (resistant) by ‘Penawawa’ (susceptible) cross. F5:6 lines were evaluated for stripe rust reaction under natural infection in replicated field trials at five locations in the US Pacific Northwest in 2007 and 2008. Infection type (IT) and disease severity were recorded for each RIL 2–4 times per location. In all environments, Penawawa, the susceptible parent, was rated with an IT ranging from 6 to 8 at all growth stages evaluated. In contrast, Louise, the resistant parent, was rated with an IT of 2 or 3 across growth stages. Distribution of IT values was bimodal, indicating a single major gene was affecting the trait. The parents and RIL population were evaluated with 295 polymorphic simple sequence repeat and one single nucleotide polymorphism markers. One major QTL, designated QYrlo.wpg-2BS, associated with HTAP resistance in Louise, was detected on chromosome 2BS (LOD scores ranging from 5.5 to 62.3 across locations and years) within a 16.9 cM region flanked by Xwmc474 and Xgwm148. SSR markers associated with QYrlo.wpg-2BS are currently being used in marker-based forward breeding strategies to transfer the target region into adapted germplasm to improve the durability of resistance in resulting cultivars.

AB  - Abstract: Russian thistle or tumbleweed (Salsola tragus L.) is an introduced invasive weed in N. America. It is widely distributed in the US and is a target of biological control efforts. The fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. in Penz. f. sp. salsolae (CGS) is a facultative parasite under evaluation for classical biological control of this weed. Host-range tests were conducted with CGS in quarantine to determine whether the fungus is safe to release in N. America. Ninetytwo accessions were analyzed from 19 families: Aizoaceae, Alliaceae, Amaranthaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Cactaceae, Campanulaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Cupressaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Phytolaccaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Sarcobataceae, and Solanaceae and 10 tribes within the Chenopodiaceae: Atripliceae, Beteae, Camphorosmeae, Chenopodieae, Corispermeae, Halopepideae, Polycnemeae, Salicornieae, Salsoleae, and Suaedeae. These included 62 genera and 120 species. To facilitate interpretation of results, disease reaction data were combined with a relationship matrix derived from internal transcribed spacer DNA sequences and analyzed with mixed model equations to produce Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (BLUPs) for each species. Twenty-nine species (30 accessions) from seven closely-related Chenopodiaceae tribes had significant levels of disease severity as indicated by BLUPs, compared to six species determined to be susceptible with least squares means estimates. The 29 susceptible species were: 1 from Atripliceae, 4 from Camphorosmeae, 1 from Halopepideae, 2 from Polycnemeae, 6 from Salicornieae, 8 from Salsolae, and 7 from Suaedeae. Most species in the genus Salsola, which are all introduced and weedy, were very susceptible and damaged by CGS. Statistical comparisons and contrasts of BLUPs indicated that these Salsola species were significantly more susceptible than non-target species, including 15 species from relatives in the closely-related genera Bassia (=Kochia), Nitrophila, Salicornia, Sarcocornia, and Suaeda. Of the 29 susceptible species, 10 native or commercially important species in N. America were identified as needing additional tests to determine the extent of any damage caused by infection.

AB  - Objective: We aimed to describe the difference in B-vitamin intake and in plasma B-vitamin and homocysteine concentrations before and after folic acid fortification, in relation to dietary patterns. Design: The Normative Aging Study (NAS) is a longitudinal study on ageing. Between 1961 and 1970, 2280 male volunteers aged 21-80 years (mean 42 years) were recruited. Dietary intake data have been collected since 1987 and assessment of plasma B vitamins and homocysteine was added in 1993. Setting: Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Subjects: In the present study, 354 men who had completed at least one FFQ and one measurement of homocysteine, both before and after the fortification period, were included. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified by cluster analysis: (i) a prudent pattern, with relatively high intakes of fruit, vegetables, low-fat milk and breakfast cereals; (ii) an unhealthy pattern, with high intakes of baked products, sweets and added fats; and (iii) a low fruit and vegetable but relatively high alcohol intake pattern. Dietary intake and plasma concentrations of folate increased significantly (P<0.05) among all dietary patterns after the fortification period. Homocysteine tended to decrease in supplement non-users and in subjects in the high alcohol, low fruit and vegetable dietary pattern (both P=0.08). Conclusions: After fortification with folic acid, folate intake and plasma folate concentration increased significantly in all dietary patterns. There was a trend towards greatest homocysteine lowering in the high alcohol, low fruit and vegetable group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most widespread parasites of domestic, wild, and companion animals, and it also commonly infects humans. Toxoplasma gondii has a complex life cycle. Sexual development occurs only in the cat gut, while asexual replication occurs in many vertebrate hosts. These features combine to create an unusual population structure. The vast majority of strains in North America and Europe fall into three recently derived, clonal lineages known as types I, II and III. Recent studies have revealed that South American strains are more genetically diverse and comprise distinct genotypes. These differences have been shaped by infrequent sexual recombination, population sweeps and biogeography. The majority of human infections that have been studied in North America and Europe are caused by type II strains, which are also common in agricultural animals from these regions. In contrast, several diverse genotypes of T. gondii are associated with severe infections in humans in South America. Defining the population structure of T. gondii from new regions has important implications for transmission, immunogenicity and pathogenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A search for events containing two or more high-transverse-momentum isolated leptons has been performed in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA using the full collected data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 480 pb−1. The number of observed events has been compared with the prediction from the Standard Model, searching for possible deviations, especially for multi-lepton events with invariant mass larger than 100 GeV. Good agreement with the Standard Model has been observed. Total and differential cross sections for di-lepton production have been measured in a restricted phase space dominated by photon–photon collisions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Ni–YSZ cermet is commonly used as the anode of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) because it has excellent electrochemical performance, not only in hydrogen fuel, but also in a clean blended synthetic coal syngas mixture (30% H2, 26% H2O, 23% CO, and 21% CO2). However, trace impurities, such as phosphine (PH3), in coal-derived syngas can cause degradation in cell performance [J.P. Trembly, R.S. Gemmen, D.J. Bayless, J. Power Sources 163 (2007) 986–996]. A commercial solid oxide fuel cell was exposed to a syngas with 10ppm PH3 under a constant current load at 800°C and its performance was evaluated periodically using electrochemical methods. The central part of the anode was exposed directly to the syngas without an intervening current collector. Post-mortem analyses of the SOFC anode were performed using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the impurity PH3 caused a significant loss of the Ni–YSZ anode electrochemical performance and an irreversible Ni–YSZ structural modification. Ni5P2 was confirmed to be produced on the cell surface as the dominant nickel phosphorus phase. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Because the excreted sporocysts and/or oocysts of various species of Sarcocystis may not be discriminated morphologically, we sought to validate a diagnostic technique based on variation in the 18S rDNA sequence. Oocysts and/or sporocysts from three taxa of Sarcocystis were collected from human, feline, and canine definitive hosts that had fed upon meats infected with the muscle cysts of Sarcocystis hominis, Sarcocystis fusiformis and a species of Sarcocystis from water buffalo that could not be distinguished from Sarcocystis cruzi. Using a new collection method employing filter paper, these excreted oocysts and sporocysts were subjected to DNA extraction, as were the corresponding muscle cysts. Methods employing PCR–RFLP and DNA sequencing of a partial 18S rDNA gene (ssrRNA) sequence were then used to successfully distinguish among the three taxa. The same, unique restriction digestion pattern characterizes the tissue cysts and oocysts and/or sporocysts of each parasite taxon. The technique makes possible amplification and identification of species specific gene sequences based on DNA extracted from as few as 7 excreted sporocysts (the equivalent of 3 and 1/2 oocysts) from freshly prepared material, or as few as 50 sporocysts from feces samples that had been stored in potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) for as long as 6 years. This represents the first report using molecular diagnostic procedures to diagnose oocysts of Sarcocystis in faecal samples, describing a valuable new tool for studying the epidemiology of various Sarcocystis species.

AB  - To evaluate the influence of resveratrol on cellular zinc status, normal human prostate epithelial (NHPrE) cells were treated with resveratrol (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 μM) and zinc [0, 4, 16, and 32 μM, representing zincdeficient (ZD), zinc-normal (ZN), zinc-adequate (ZA), and zincsupplemented (ZS) conditions, respectivelyl. A progressive reduction in cell growth was observed in cells treated with increasing amounts of resveratrol (2.5-10 μM). Resveratrol at 5 and 10 iM resulted in a dramatic increase in cellular total zinc concentration, especially in ZS cells. Flow cytometry indicated that 10 μM resveratrol induced arrest of the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in association with the observed cell growth inhibition. Data from an in vitro experiment using zinquin as an indicator of intracellular free Zn(II) status demonstrated complex interactions between resveratrol and Zn(II). Fluorescence spectrofluorometry and fluorescence microscopic analyses revealed that intracellular free labile zinc was progressively elevated from nearly twofold in ZS cells with no resveratrol to multifold in ZA and ZS cells with 10 μM resveratrol compared with the corresponding ZN cells. Furthermore, increases in cellular zinc status were associated with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species and senescence, as evidenced by morphological and histochemical changes in cells treated with 2.5 or 10 μM resveratrol, especially in ZA and ZS cells. Taken together, the interaction between resveratrol and zinc in NHPrE cells increases total cellular zinc and intracellular free labile zinc status and, subsequently, reactive oxygen species production and senescence.

AB  - Abstract: Precise identification of the male germinal stem cell population is important for their practical use in programs dedicated to the integration of exogenous genetic material in testicular tissues. In the present study, our aim was to identify germinal cell populations in the testes of pubertal and adult cockerels based on the detection of the nuclear DNA content by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and on the expression of the Dazl and Stra8 genes in single-cell suspensions of testicular tissues. Cells with a tetraploid DNA content (4c) represent a small and equal fraction of the total germinal cell population in both pubertal and adult males. In contrast, the diploid (2c) and haploid (c) subpopulations differ significantly between ages as a consequence of different degrees of sexual maturation. A specific subpopulation of testicular cells, the side-scatter subpopulation of cells, or side population (SP), was identified at the junction between the haploid and diploid cell populations. The percentage of this cell subpopulation differs significantly in pubertal and adult cockerels, accounting for 4.1% and 1.3% of the total cell population, respectively. These four testicular cell populations were also tested for the expression of Dazl and Stra8 genes known to be expressed in premeiotic cells including stem spermatogonia. Both genes were expressed in SP, whereas the expression of either Dazl or Stra8 genes was detected only in the 4c and in the 2c testicular cell subpopulations, respectively. The correlation between the cell ploidy and Dazl/Stra8 expression was the same at both male ages. We conclude that SP cells might represent a subpopulation of germinal cells enriched in stem spermatogonia, which can be of great importance for transgenesis in chicken. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We report here on a comparative developmental profile of plant hormone cytokinins in relation to cell size, cell number and endoreduplication in developing maize caryopsis of a cell wall invertase-deficient miniature1 ( mn1) seed mutant and its wild type, Mn1, genotype. Both genotypes showed extremely high levels of total cytokinins during the very early stages of development, followed by a marked and genotype specific reduction. While the decrease of cytokinins in Mn1 was associated with their deactivation by 9-glucosylation, the absolute and the relative part of active cytokinin forms was higher in the mutant. During the exponential growth phase of endosperm between 6 d after pollination and 9 d after pollination, the mean cell doubling time, the absolute growth rate and the level of endoreduplication were similar in the two genotypes. However, the entire duration of growth was longer in Mn1 compared with mn1, resulting in a significantly higher cell number in the Mn1 endosperm. These data correlate with the previously reported peak levels of the Mn1-encoded cell wall invertase-2 (INCW2) at 12 d after pollination in the Mn1 endosperm. A model showing possible crosstalk among cytokinins, cell cycle and cell wall invertase as causal to increased cell number and sink strength of the Mn1 developing endosperm is discussed.

AB  - Background:  The hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic effects of various natural and semisynthetic dietary fibers have been studied for their potential use in the prevention and improvement of metabolic syndrome. Of these dietary fibers, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) has been shown to lower plasma cholesterol and reduce weight gain. However, the underlying mechanisms are not known. In the present study, we examined associations between plasma adipocytokine levels and both lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity after HPMC intake in golden Syrian hamsters. In addition, endogenous adiponectin from hamster plasma was purified and characterized. Methods:  Hamsters were treated with HPMC (2% and 4% in a high-fat diet) or 2% or 4% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC; control diet) for 8 weeks. Plasma glucose, insulin, lipids, adiponectin, leptin, and hepatic lipid levels were assessed using standard techniques. Results:  After 8 weeks of feeding, plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in hamsters fed the 4% HPMC-supplemented diet were significantly lower than in hamsters fed the control diet. Moreover, a significant increase in adiponectin levels and a decrease in leptin levels were observed in hamsters fed the 4% HPMC-supplemented diet. Hamster adiponectin was found to be comprised of 244 amino acid residues with an apparent molecular weight of 30 kDa, consistent with the adiponectin reported in other species. Conclusions:  Reductions in plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels were correlated with a decrease in plasma leptin and an increase in adiponectin. These results suggest that adipocytokines are regulated by HPMC and may play a pivotal role in the hypocholesterolemic effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The human intestinal epithelium is composed of several cell types, mainly enterocytes and goblet (mucin-secreting) cells. This study compares the cellular response of Fe transporters in Caco-2, HT29-MTX, and Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-culture models for Fe bioavailability. Caco-2 cells in vitro differentiate into enterocyte-like cells and HT29-MTX cell lineage into a mucin-secreting cellular population. Cell cultures were exposed to digests of Fe+3, Fe+3/ascorbic acid, cooked fish (high-available Fe) or white beans (low-available Fe). Cell responses as shown by mRNA expression of the main Fe transporters, DMT1 and DcytB, and cell ferritin formation were monitored. In Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultures, the mucin layer lowered the pool of free Fe to diffuse towards the cell brush border membrane of enterocytes, which was accompanied of an upregulation of DMT1 mRNA expression. In contrast, cultures exposed to digests of fish or white beans showed no significant differences in the regulation of Fe transporters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Efforts are underway to rehabilitate the irrigation districts, such as in the Rio Grande Basin in Texas. Water distribution network models are needed to help prioritize and analyze various rehabilitation options, as well as to scientifically quantify irrigation water demands, usages, and losses, and to help manage gate automation. However, commercially available software packages were limited in applications due to their high cost and operational difficulty. This study aims to develop a modeling tool for modeling the water flow profile in irrigation distribution networks. The goal of developing the modeling tool was to make the modeling process simple, fast, reliable and accurate. On the basis of methodological study, the modeling tool has been developed for branching canal networks with the assumption of steady gradually varied flow. The flow profile calculation of the tool was verified from a single channel with 1% root mean squared error compared to the benchmark calculation and a branching network with 5% to 12% relative errors compared to check point measurement along the network. The developed modeling tool will be able to play an important role in water quantification for planning, analysis and development for modernization of irrigation systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malignant malaria, is among the most severe human infectious diseases. The closest known relative of P. falciparum is a chimpanzee parasite, Plasmodium reichenowi, of which one single isolate was previously known. The co-speciation hypothesis suggests that both parasites evolved separately from a common ancestor over the last 5-7 million years. in parallel with the divergence of their hosts, the hominin and chimpanzee lineages. Genetic analysis of eight new isolates of P. reichenowi. from wild and wild-born captive chimpanzees in Cameroon and Côte d'lvoire, shows that P. reichenowi is a geographically widespread and genetically diverse chimpanzee parasite. The genetic lineage comprising the totality of global P. falciparum is fully included within the much broader genetic diversity of P. reichenowi. This finding is inconsistent with the co-speciation hypothesis. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that all extant P. falciparum populations originated from P. reichenowi, likely by a single host transfer, which may have occurred as early as 2-3 million years ago, or as recently as 10,000 years ago. The evolutionary history of this relationship may be explained by two critical genetic mutations. First, inactivation of the CMAH gene in the human lineage rendered human ancestors unable to generate the sialic acid Neu5Gc from its precursor Neu5Ac, and likely made humans resistant to P. reichenowi. More recently, mutations in the dominant invasion receptor EBA 175 in the P. falciparum lineage provided the parasite with preference for the overabundant Neu5Ac precursor, accounting for its extreme human pathogenicity.

AB  - Abstract: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) system, with a gas–liquid porous metal contactor, for reducing Escherichia coli K12 in diluted buffered peptone water. 0.1% (w/v) buffered peptone water inoculated with E. coli K12 was processed using the SCCO2 system at CO2 concentrations of 3.1–9.5 wt%, outlet temperatures of 34, 38, and 42°C, a system pressure of 7.6MPa, and a flow rate of 1L/min. Increased CO2 concentrations and temperatures significantly (P <0.05) enhanced microbial reduction. A maximum reduction of 5.8-log was obtained at 8.2% CO2 and 42°C. To achieve a 5-log reduction of E. coli K12 in 0.1% buffered peptone water, minimum CO2 concentrations of 9.5%, 5.5%, and 5.3% were needed at 34, 38, and 42°C, respectively. Further reductions of cells were observed after storage for 7 days at 4°C. But storage at 25°C increased the number of viable cells to 8-logcfu/mL after 7 days. This study showed the potential of the pilot scale SCCO2 system with a gas–liquid porous metal contactor for microbial inactivation in liquid food. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles in water were prepared with the two-step powder dispersion process using several methods of ultrasonication. The dispersion of ZnO was found to proceed by a fragmentation process, with minimum achievable particle size in the range 50 to 300 nm. This is consistent with other oxide nanopowder systems, in which most primary particulates still remain in hardened aggregates that cannot be further reduced. A submersible accelerometer probe was developed and used to measure the relative ultrasonic energy field in the liquid for the various ultrasonication methods. Oscillation at the expected frequencies was identified in each case, with strong variability at different locations in the liquid volume. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: In this paper, the Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) were used to simultaneously conduct calibration and uncertainty analysis for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). In this combined method, several SWAT models with different structures are first selected; next GA is used to calibrate each model using observed streamflow data; finally, BMA is applied to combine the ensemble predictions and provide uncertainty interval estimation. This method was tested in two contrasting basins, the Little River Experimental Basin in Georgia, USA, and the Yellow River Headwater Basin in China. The results obtained in the two case studies show that this combined method can provide deterministic predictions better than or comparable to the best calibrated model using GA. The 66.7% and 90% uncertainty intervals estimated by this method were analyzed. The differences between the percentage of coverage of observations and the corresponding expected coverage percentage are within 10% for both calibration and validation periods in these two test basins. This combined methodology provides a practical and flexible tool to attain reliable deterministic simulation and uncertainty analysis of SWAT. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The in vitro effects of tea phenolics on Fe uptake from different fortificants (FeSO4, FeCl3, FeEDTA) by Caco-2 cells were compared. Cell cultures were exposed to catechin, tannic acid, green or black tea solutions, added within Fe-containing solution, or used to pre-treat cell cultures before Fe-exposure. Cell ferritin formation was used as a measure of Fe uptake. Reverse phase chromatography was used to identify specific phenolics in tea solutions, and the Fe-binding catechol and galloyl groups were determined spectrophotometrically. The results showed a positive effect of catechin on Fe uptake only from dissociable Fe sources, and a marked inhibitory effect of tannic acid regardless of the Fe source. Tea phenolics exhibit similar inhibitory patterns on Fe uptake from FeCl3 and FeEDTA solutions; however, the Fe uptake from FeSO4 solutions was significantly less affected. These data improve the understanding of interactions by which tea phenolics affect Fe uptake at the intestinal level. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A global poverty map has been produced at 30arcsec resolution using a poverty index calculated by dividing population count (LandScan 2004) by the brightness of satellite observed lighting (DMSP nighttime lights). Inputs to the LandScan product include satellite-derived land cover and topography, plus human settlement outlines derived from high-resolution imagery. The poverty estimates have been calibrated using national level poverty data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) 2006 edition. The total estimate of the numbers of individuals living in poverty is 2.2 billion, slightly under the WDI estimate of 2.6 billion. We have demonstrated a new class of poverty map that should improve over time through the inclusion of new reference data for calibration of poverty estimates and as improvements are made in the satellite observation of human activities related to economic activity and technology access.

AB  - Development of packaging materials from renewable resources has for a long time been desirable for sustainability reasons, but with recent explosion in prices of petroleum products, this now becomes also more economically viable. This paper shows how fundamental chemistry underlying three forms of hydrogels—physical hydrogels, chemical hydrogels, and interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN)—can be integrated to produce a new family of food packaging materials from biopolymers, illustrated here using gelatin and low-methoxyl pectin as examples. Application of this technique to create hydrogels from bio-based materials offers the potential for developing novel, biodegradable packaging applications, particularly for foods, that meet the ever-increasing demands for natural and environmentally compatible materials.

AB  - Abstract: The By-Product Utilization Team at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the US Department of Energy has conducted column leaching tests to characterize the release of various cations from coal utilization by-products (CUB). The release of metals from the nine samples of residues generated in three coal integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) installations was determined. Cations tended to be more soluble than from PC fly ash samples. Except for Hg, total cation solubility was due to the relatively high concentration in a few leachate samples. For several IGCC by-product samples generated from a mixture of coal and pet coke, the amount of As, Ni, and Zn extracted from the IGCC residues exceeded primary or secondary drinking water standards in the early leachate samples.

AB  - Abstract: Two goals of food assistance programs are to improve well-being and to increase participation among those in need. Progress in meeting the first goal can be measured by the difference in well-being between participants and eligible non-participants. This gap in well-being though can be affected by progress made toward the second goal of increasing participation rates. In particular, if those with the lowest levels of well-being disproportionately enter the program, the gap can increase. To examine whether this tension between goals exists empirically, we consider the case of the Food Stamp Program and its effect on food insecurity in the United States, using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). In particular, we use variation in State policies (the change in administrative error rates and the combined value of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and food stamp benefits) to analyze whether increasing participation rates leads to increases in the difference in food insecurity rates. Controlling for other factors, we find evidence of the tension between these two program goals insofar as States with policies which encourage participation have higher differences in the food insecurity rates of participants and non-participants.

AB  - Abstract: Corn fiber arabinoxylan is a hemicellulose B isolated from the fibrous portions (pericarp, tip cap, and endosperm cell wall fractions) of corn kernels by alkaline solution, often in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and is commonly referred to as “Corn fiber gum” (CFG). The unique polysaccharide, CFG, with its low solution viscosity has been proposed as a good stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions and we have verified that in some model systems, it can out-perform the “gold standard” emulsifier, gum arabic. But the precise mechanism for the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsion is not well understood due to its structural and molecular complexity. It is unclear and even puzzling how a water-soluble, hydrophilic arabinoxylan could function as an emulsifier, since most emulsifiers have hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic surfaces and regions on the molecule. To understand the structural properties of CFG that may be responsible for its emulsifying properties, we have prepared a number of purified and modified CFG samples from different sources of corn fiber. We then studied their detailed structures and measured their ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. The results show that “pure” CFG fractions often contain minor, but perhaps functionally important amounts of associated lipids and proteins. Understanding the critical structural elements required for optimal emulsification properties will allow future commercial producers of CFG to provide consistent quality and functionality in their products.

AB  - Hyperspectral remote sensing research was conducted to document the biophysical and biochemical characteristics of controlled forest plots subjected to various nutrient and irrigation treatments. The experimental plots were located on the Savannah River Site near Aiken, SC. AISA hyperspectral imagery were analysed using three approaches, including: (1) normalized difference vegetation index based simple linear regression (NSLR), (2) partial least squares regression (PLSR) and (3) machine-learning regression trees (MLRT) to predict the biophysical and biochemical characteristics of the crops (leaf area index, stem biomass and five leaf nutrients concentrations). The calibration and cross-validation results were compared between the three techniques. The PLSR approach generally resulted in good predictive performance. The MLRT approach appeared to be a useful method to predict characteristics in a complex environment (i.e. many tree species and numerous fertilization and/or irrigation treatments) due to its powerful adaptability.

AB  - Adaptation to cold is one of the greatest challenges to forest trees. This process is highly synchronized with environmental cues relating to photoperiod and temperature. Here, we use a candidate gene-based approach to search for genetic associations between 384 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from 117 candidate genes and 21 cold-hardiness related traits. A general linear model approach, including population structure estimates as covariates, was implemented for each marker-trait pair. We discovered 30 highly significant genetic associations [false discovery rate (FDR) Q < 0.101 across 12 candidate genes and 10 of the 21 traits. We also detected a set of 7 markers that had elevated levels of differentiation between sampling sites situated across the Cascade crest in northeastern Washington. Marker effects were small (r2 < 0.05) and within the range of those published previously for forest trees. The derived SNP allele, as measured by a comparison to a recently diverged sister species, typically affected the phenotype in away consistent with cold hardiness. The majority of markerswere characterized as having largely nonadditive modes of gene action, especially underdominance in the case of cold-tolerance related phenotypes. We place these results in the context of trade-offs between the abilities to grow longer and to avoid fall cold damage, as well as putative epigenetic effects. These associations provide insight into the genetic components of complex traits in coastal Douglas fir, as well as highlight the need for landscape genetic approaches to the detection of adaptive genetic diversity.

AB  - Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45°C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10U/g) under reducing conditions, the viscosity increased four-fold and the storage modulus (G′) from 0 to 300Pa over 20h. Similar treatment of dilute gelatin solutions (0.5–3%) had little effect. Addition of gelatin to 10% WPI caused a synergistic increase in both viscosity and G′, with the formation of gels at concentrations greater than 1.5% added gelatin. These results suggest that new biopolymers, with improved functionality, could be developed by mTGase treatment of protein blends containing small amounts of gelatin with the less expensive whey protein.

AB  - Abstract: Guayule, a shrub native to the Chihuahuan desert, is a natural source of high quality, hypoallergenic rubber. Unlike rubber trees that produce rubber in laticifers, the rubber in guayule is produced in parenchyma cells of the bark tissue of stems and roots. Consequently, guayule tissue must be mechanically broken before the rubber can be extracted and analyzed. Since rubber extraction and analysis is time-consuming, progress towards increasing the rubber content of guayule through breeding or better cultivation practices has been limited by the slow rate of sample processing. To address the need for faster and more efficient sample throughput, conditions were optimized for automated extraction of dried guayule tissue using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and rapid methods were developed to replace gravimetric determination of resin and rubber content. For resin analysis, ultraviolet absorbance was used to determine resin concentration after ASE of the tissue with acetone or acetonitrile. For rubber analysis, evaporative light scattering (ELS) was used to determine the amount of rubber recovered after ASE of the tissue with cyclohexane. Extraction of guayule tissue with high latex rubber content verified that the amounts of resin and rubber determined by these methods were similar to the amounts determined gravimetrically. Since these methods automate extraction and increase the speed of resin and rubber quantification, they could be used in combination with ASE to increase the throughput and efficiency of guayule evaluation in germplasm enhancement and agronomic improvement programs.

AB  - Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are a leading cause of food poisoning and have two separate biological activities; it causes gastroenteritis and functions as a superantigen that activates large numbers of T cells. In vivo monkey or kitten bioassays were developed for analysis of SEs emetic activity. To overcome the inherent limitations of such bioassays, this study describes an in vitro splenocyte proliferation assay based on SEs superantigen activity as an alternative method for measuring the activity of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). After incubation of splenocytes with SEA, cell proliferation was measured by labeling the proliferating cells' DNA with bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU) and quantifying the incorporated BrdU by immunohistochemistry. BrdU labeling is shown to be highly correlated with SEA concentration ( R2=0.99) and can detect 20 pg mL−1 of SEA, which is far more sensitive than most enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Our assay can also distinguish between active toxin and inactive forms of the toxin in milk. By applying immunomagnetic beads that capture and concentrate the toxin, our assay was able to overcome matrix interference. These results suggest that our in vitro cell-based assay is an advantageous practical alternative to the in vivo monkey or kitten bioassays for measuring SEA and possibly other SEs activity in food.

AB  - Abstract: WinSRFR is an integrated software package for analyzing surface irrigation systems. Software functionalities and technical features are described in a companion article. This article documents an example application. The analyzed field is a graded basin (close-ended border) irrigation system. The event analysis tools of WinSRFR are used first to evaluate performance of the irrigation system and estimate its infiltration and hydraulic roughness properties. Performance contours in the Operations Analysis World are then used to optimize irrigation system inflow rate and cutoff time. The adequacy of the existing design is examined with the performance contours provided in the Physical Design World. Hydraulic and practical constraints are considered in finding an optimal operation or design solution. Finally, sensitivity analyses are used to demonstrate the robustness of the solutions.

AB  - Abstract: Cocultures of two human cell lines, Caco-2 and HT29-MTX mucus-producing cells, have been incorporated into an in vitro digestion/cell culture model used to predict iron bioavailability. A range of different foods were subjected to in vitro digestion, and iron bioavailability from digests was assessed with Caco-2, Caco-2 overlaid with porcine mucin, HT29-MTX or cocultures of Caco-2 and HT29-MTX at varying ratios. It was found that increasing the ratio of HT29-MTX cells decreased the amount of ferritin formed and resulted in an overall decline in the ability of the model to detect differences in iron bioavailability. At the physiologically relevant ratios of 90% Caco-2/10% HT29-MTX and 75% Caco-2/25% HT29-MTX, however, a mucus layer completely covered the cell monolayer and the in vitro digestion model was nearly as responsive to changes in sample iron bioavailability as pure Caco-2 cultures. The in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture model correlates well with human iron bioavailability studies, but, as mucus appears to play a role in iron absorption, the addition of a physiologically realistic mucus layer and goblet-type cells to this model may give more accurate iron bioavailability predictions.

AB  - We have developed web-based software for the rapid identification of protein biomarkers of bacterial micro-organisms. Proteins from bacterial cell lysates were ionized by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), mass isolated, and fragmented using a tandem time of flight (TOF-TOF) mass spectrometer. The sequence-specific fragment ions generated were compared to a database of in silico fragment ions derived from bacterial protein sequences whose molecular weights are the same as the nominal molecular weights of the protein biomarkers. A simple peak-matching and scoring algorithm was developed to compare tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) fragment ions to in silico fragment ions. In addition, a probability-based significance-testing algorithm (P value), developed previously by other researchers, was incorporated into the software for the purpose of comparison. The speed and accuracy of the software were tested by identification of 10 protein biomarkers from three Campylobacter strains that had been identified previously by bottom-up proteomics techniques. Protein biomarkers were identified using (i) their peak-matching scores and/or P values from a comparison of MS-Ms fragment ions with all possible in silico N and C terminus fragment ions (i.e., ions a, b, b-18, y, y-17, and y-18), (ii) their peak-matching scores and/or P values from a comparison of MS-MS fragment ions to residue-specific in silico fragment ions (i.e., in silico fragment ions resulting from polypeptide backbone fragmentation adjacent to specific residues [aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, etc.]), and (iii) fragment ion error analysis, which distinguished the systematic fragment ion error of a correct identification (caused by calibration drift of the second TOF mass analyzer) from the random fragment ion error of an incorrect identification.

AB  - Significant interest in studying the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Campylobacter jejuni has stemmed from its potential role in postinfection paralytic disorders. In this study we present the results of PCR screening of five LOS locus classes (A, B, C, D, and E) for a collection of 116 C. jejuni isolates from chicken meat (n = 76) and sporadic human cases of diarrhea (n = 40). We correlated LOS classes with clonal complexes (CC) assigned by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Finally, we evaluated the invasion potential of a panel of 52 of these C. jefuni isolates for Caco-2 cells. PCR screening showed that 87.1% (101/116) of isolates could be assigned to LOS class A, B, C, D, or E. Concordance between LOS classes and certain MLST CC was revealed. The majority (85.7% [24/28]) of C.jejuni isolates grouped in CC-21 were shown to express LOS locus class C. The invasion potential of C. jejuni isolates possessing sialylated LOS (n = 29; classes A, B, and C) for Caco-2 cells was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) than that of C. jejuni isolates with nonsialylated LOS (n = 23; classes D and E). There was no significant difference in invasiveness between chicken meat and human isolates. However, C. jejuni isolates assigned to CC-206 (correlated with LOS class B) or CC-21 (correlated with LOS class C) showed statistically significantly higher levels of invasion than isolates from other CC. Correlation between LOS classes and CC was further confirmed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The present study reveals a correlation between genotypic diversity and LOS locus classes of C. jejuni. We showed that simple PCR screening for C.jejuni LOS classes could reliably predict certain MLST CC and add to the interpretation of molecular-typing results. Our study corroborates that sialylation of LOS is advantageous for C. jejuni fitness and virulence in different hosts. The modulation of cell surface carbohydrate structure could enhance the ability of C. jejuni to adapt to or survive in a host. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The influence of organic and conventional farming practices on the phenolic content in eggplant samples belonging to two cultivars, Blackbell (American eggplant) and Millionaire (Japanese eggplant) grown under similar environmental conditions was evaluated. Phytochemical investigation of the eggplant extracts showed that N-caffeoylputrescine, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, and 3-acetyl-5-caffeoylquinic acid made up the bulk of total eggplant phenolics. In addition, this is the first report on identification of trace quantities of three additional flavonols, namely, quercetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, and myricetin-3-galactoside in freeze-dried eggplant pulp. The phenolic content of the conventionally grown Blackbell variety was marginally higher or equal to those grown organically. However, the phenolic content of the Millionaire organic variety was much greater than the conventionally grown samples. Eggplant extract inhibition of cupric-ion mediated oxidation of low-density lipoproteins was highly correlated with the content of 5-caffeolquinic acid (R 2 =0.9124), the most abundant phenolic acid identified.

AB  - Abstract: The mitochondrion is the organelle responsible for generation of most usable energy in a cell. It also plays an important role in a series of physiological processes such as apoptosis and proliferation. Although previous studies have demonstrated that nicotine modulates the morphology and function of mitochondria, the mechanism(s) underlying these effects is largely unknown. In this study, using a microarray consisting of 4793 clones derived from a mouse dopamine cDNA library, we profiled the gene expression patterns for six brain regions (amygdala, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, striatum and ventral tegmental area) of female Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to nicotine treatment for 7days through osmotic minipump infusion. We identified a number of genes and pathways, including components of the electron transport system of mitochondria, such as cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (Mt-co1), Mt-co2, Mt-co3, cytochrome b (Mt-cyb), mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 4 (Mt-nd4), and Mt-nd6, that were significantly modulated by nicotine in multiple brain regions. Bioinformatics analysis provided evidence that Gene Ontology categories related to the electron transport system were overrepresented in each brain region. Finally, the results from the microarray analysis were verified by quantitative RT-PCR for four representative genes. Together, our findings imply that mitochondria are involved in neuronal adaptation to chronic nicotine exposure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Many pathogenic bacteria employ systems to incorporate sialic acid into their membranes as a means of protection against host defense mechanisms. In Pasteurella multocida, an opportunistic pathogen which causes diseases of economic importance in a wide range of animal species, sialic acid uptake plays a role in a mouse model of systemic pasteurellosis. To further investigate the importance of sialic acid uptake in pathogenesis, sialic acid uptake mutants of an avian strain of P. multocida P-1059 (A:3) were constructed, characterized, and an in-frame sialic acid uptake deletion mutant was assessed for virulence in turkeys. Inactivation of sialic acid uptake resulted in a high degree of attenuation when turkeys were challenged either intranasally or intravenously. Resistance of the sialic acid uptake mutant to killing by turkey serum complement was similar to that of the parent, suggesting other mechanisms are responsible for attenuation of virulence in turkeys.

Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 296: E1239 -E1250, 2009. First published March 17, 2009; doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.9102.2008.-We recently showed that the developing gut is a significant site of methionine transmethylation to homocysteine and transsulfuration to cysteine. We hypothesized that sulfur amino acid (SAA) deficiency would preferentially reduce mucosal growth and antioxidant function in neonatal pigs. Neonatal pigs were enterally fed a control or an SAA-free diet for 7 days, and then whole body methionine and cysteine kinetics were measured using an intravenous infusion of [1-[sup13]C;methyl-[sup2]H[sub3]]methionine and [`5Nlcysteine. Body weight gain and plasma methionine, cysteine, homocysteine, and taurine and total erythrocyte glutathione concentrations were markedly decreased (-46% to 85%) in SAA-free compared with control pigs. Whole body methionine and cysteine fluxes were reduced, yet methionine utilization for protein synthesis and methionine remethylation were relatively preserved at the expense of methionine transsulfuration, in response to SAA deficiency. Intestinal tissue concentrations of methionine and cysteine were markedly reduced and hepatic levels were maintained in SAA-free compared with control pigs. SAA deficiency increased the activity of methionine metabolic enzymes, i.e., methionine adenosyltransferase, methionine synthase, and cystathionine β-synthase, and S-adenosylmethionine concentration in the jejunum, whereas methionine synthase activity increased and S-adenosylmethionine level decreased in the liver. Small intestine weight and protein and DNA mass were lower, whereas liver weight and DNA mass were unchanged, in SAA-free compared with control pigs. Dietary SAA deficiency induced small intestinal villus atrophy, lower goblet cell numbers, and Ki-67-positive proliferative crypt cells in association with lower tissue glutathione, especially in the jejunum. We conclude that SAA deficiency upregulates intestinal methionine cycle activity and suppresses epithelial growth in neonatal pigs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Novel strains of rhamnolipid-producing bacteria were isolated from soils at a biodiesel facility on the basis of their ability to grow on glycerol as a sole carbon source. Strains were identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Enterobacter asburiae, Enterobacter hormaechei, Pantoea stewartii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The strains of the former five species were found to produce rhamnolipids in quantities the same as, or similar to, coisolated strains of P. aeruginosa. Measurements of surface tension revealed that that emulsifying properties of these strains were similar to levels displayed by rhamnolipids produced by P. aeruginosa. Results of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS analyses revealed that the predominant compounds made by all strains were C10–C10 mono- and dirhamnolipids. Notably, E. hormaechei and one strain of A. calcoaceticus produced rhamnolipids in amounts similar to the pseudomonads. As all strains examined were from the same taxonomic class of Proteobacteria, further examination of this group may reveal many additional species not previously known to produce rhamnolipids in addition to novel strains of species currently known to produce rhamnolipids.

AB  - Heparanase (HPSE) is an endoglycosidase that specifically degrades heparan sulfate, which is an abundant glycosaminoglycan of the pig placenta. The aim of the present study was to clone cDNA encoding porcine HPSE and characterise the expression level and localisation of HPSEmRNA in porcine placentas throughout gestation. Placental tissues were collected from litters on Days 25, 45, 65, 85 and 105 of gestation. Three transcript variants similar to HPSE were identified in the pig placenta. In addition, the HPSEgene was mapped to pig chromosome 8 in close proximity to quantitative trait loci for litter size and prenatal survival. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and in situhybridisation were used to characterise the expression of two HPSEvariants, namely HPSE v1and v2, in the pig placenta throughout gestation. The expression of HPSE v1and v2was elevated (P< 0.01) in placentas during very early gestation (Day 25) as well as during late gestation (Days 85 and 105). Finally, HPSE v1and v2mRNA were localised to the cuboidal trophoblast cells of the folded bilayer located nearest to the maternal endometrium. These findings illustrate that HPSE likely plays a role in the development and modification of the pig placenta, which has implications for litter size and prenatal survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Ageing is often associated with the aged and the diseased, nevertheless ageing is a process that starts in-uterus and is characterised by a progressive functional loss but not necessarily by the presence of disease and poor quality of life. How to meander through life without crossing the confines of major chronic disease and cognitive and physical impairment remains one of the most relevant challenges for science and humankind. Delimiting that ‘immaculate’ trajectory – that we dub as the ‘Healthy Ageing Phenotype’ – and exploring solutions to help the population to stay or return to this trajectory should constitute the core focus of scientific research. Nevertheless, current efforts on ageing research are mainly focused on developing animal models to disentangle the human ageing process, and on age-related disorders often providing merely palliative solutions. Therefore, to identify alternative perspectives in ageing research, Unilever and the Medical Research Council (MRC) UK convened a Spark workshop entitled ‘The Healthy Ageing Phenotype’. In this meeting, international specialists from complementary areas related to ageing research, gathered to find clear attributes and definitions of the ‘Healthy Ageing Phenotype’, to identify potential mechanisms and interventions to improve healthy life expectancy of the population; and to highlight areas within ageing research that should be prioritised in the future. General agreement was reached in recognising ageing research as a disaggregated field with little communication between basic, epidemiological and clinical areas of research and limited translation to society. A more holistic, multi-disciplinary approach emanating from a better understanding of healthy ageing trajectories and centred along human biological resilience, its maintenance and the reversibility from early deviations into pathological trajectories, is urgently required. Future research should concentrate on understanding the mechanisms that permit individuals to maintain optimal health when facing pathological hazards and on developing and assessing potential interventions that could aid to re-establish resilience when lost or guarantee its integrity if present. Furthermore it is fundamental that scientific findings are translated incessantly into clear messages delivered to governmental institutions, the industry and society in general.

AB  - Summary: Interbasin flow in the Great Basin has been established by scientific studies during the past century. While not occurring uniformly between all basins, its occurrence is common and is a function of the hydraulic gradient between basins and hydraulic conductivity of the intervening rocks. The Furnace Creek springs in Death Valley, California are an example of large volume springs that are widely accepted as being the discharge points of regional interbasin flow. The flow path has been interpreted historically to be through consolidated Paleozoic carbonate rocks in the southern Funeral Mountains. This work reviews the preponderance of evidence supporting the concept of interbasin flow in the Death Valley region and the Great Basin and addresses the conceptual model of pluvial and recent recharge [Nelson, S.T., Anderson, K., Mayo, A.L., 2004. Testing the interbasin flow hypothesis at Death Valley, California. EOS 85, 349; Anderson, K., Nelson, S., Mayo, A., Tingey, D., 2006. Interbasin flow revisited: the contribution of local recharge to high-discharge springs, Death Valley, California. Journal of Hydrology 323, 276–302] as the source of the Furnace Creek springs. We find that there is insufficient modern recharge and insufficient storage potential and permeability within the basin-fill units in the Furnace Creek basin for these to serve as a local aquifer. Further, the lack of high sulfate content in the spring waters argues against significant flow through basin-fill sediments and instead suggests flow through underlying consolidated carbonate rocks. The maximum temperature of the spring discharge appears to require deep circulation through consolidated rocks; the Tertiary basin fill is of insufficient thickness to generate such temperatures as a result of local fluid circulation. Finally, the stable isotope data and chemical mass balance modeling actually support the interbasin flow conceptual model rather than the alternative presented in Nelson et al. [Nelson, S.T., Anderson, K., Mayo, A.L., 2004. Testing the interbasin flow hypothesis at Death Valley, California. EOS 85, 349] and Anderson et al. [Anderson, K., Nelson, S., Mayo, A., Tingey, D., 2006. Interbasin flow revisited: the contribution of local recharge to high-discharge springs, Death Valley, California. Journal of Hydrology 323, 276–302]. In light of these inconsistencies, interbasin flow is the only readily apparent explanation for the large spring discharges at Furnace Creek and, in our view, is the likely explanation for most large volume, low elevation springs in the Great Basin. An understanding of hydrogeologic processes that control the rate and direction of ground-water flow in eastern and central Nevada is necessary component of regional water-resource planning and management of alluvial and bedrock aquifers.

AB  - Abstract: Five leaching methods (serial batch leaching procedure (SBLP), synthetic groundwater leaching procedure (SGLP), mine water leaching procedure (MWLP), 3 TIER integrated framework leaching protocol (3TIER), and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)) were compared using two samples, a class F fly and a class C fly ash. Each method was tested in triplicate, according to the published procedure, and leachate was analyzed for 23 elements. The procedures were compared on the basis of elemental availability, defined as the cumulative elemental release per kg of sample, and the variation in extraction with increased L/S as a surrogate for long term release. Higher availability values were obtained with the SBLP and MWLP, which cover a range of pH’s and 3TIER, which uses EDTA to form soluble complexes. SGLP, a high pH procedure, and TCLP, mildly acidic, generally produced lower availability values. Cumulative elemental extraction as a function of L/S in SBLP, MWLP and 3TIER generally agreed within an order of magnitude. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: An environmental chamber was constructed to measure the mercury flux from coal utilization by-product (CUB) samples. Samples of fly ash, FGD gypsum, and wallboard made from FGD gypsum were tested under both dark and illuminated conditions with or without the addition of water to the sample. Mercury releases varied widely, with 7-day experiment averages ranging from −6.8 to 73ng/m2 h for the fly ash samples and −5.2 to 335ng/m2 h for the FGD/wallboard samples. Initial mercury content, fly ash type, and light exposure had no observable consistent effects on the mercury flux. For the fly ash samples, the effect of a mercury control technology was to decrease the emission. For three of the four pairs of FGD gypsum and wallboard samples, the wallboard sample released less (or absorbed more) mercury than the gypsum. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The effect of different types of compounds commonly found in diesel fuel (e.g., paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics), as well as their chemical structure (e.g., branched versus linear paraffins) on fuel reforming has been investigated. Diesel reforming is very complicated because diesel is a complex mixture of hundreds of compounds with greatly different reactivities. The syngas production rates at the same conditions were observed in this order: paraffins>naphthenes≫aromatics. Additionally, the type of reforming performed (OSR, CPOX, or SR) as well as the process parameters (space velocity and reaction temperature) significantly affected the syngas production rates as well as carbon formation. The reactivity of one fuel component can affect the conversion pattern of others, e.g., overall yields from the reforming of a fuel mixture are not additive of yields from individual fuel components, rather the more reactive component is consumed first. Furthermore, the type of substituent in aromatics and naphthenes, the carbon chain length in n-paraffins, branching in paraffins, and degree of aromatic saturation affect the overall hydrocarbon conversion, syngas selectivity, and carbon formation. The presence of sulfur compounds in the fuel caused significant drops in H2 yields compared to CO yields. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The objectives of this study were to examine and model the probability of growth of Listeria monocytogenes in cooked salmon containing salt and smoke (phenol) compound and stored at various temperatures. A growth probability model was developed, and the model was compared to a model developed from tryptic soy broth (TSB) to assess the possibility of using TSB as a substitute for salmon. A 6-strain mixture of L. monocytogenes was inoculated into minced cooked salmon and TSB containing 0–10% NaCl and 0–34ppm phenol to levels of 102–3 cfu/g, and the samples were vacuum-packed and stored at 0-–25°C for up to 42days. A total 32 treatments, each with 16 samples, selected by central composite designs were tested. A logistic regression was used to model the probability of growth of L. monocytogenes as a function of concentrations of salt and phenol, and storage temperature. Resulted models showed that the probabilities of growth of L. monocytogenes in both salmon and TSB decreased when the salt and/or phenol concentrations increased, and at lower storage temperatures. In general, the growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes were affected more profoundly by salt and storage temperature than by phenol. The growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes estimated by the TSB model were higher than those by the salmon model at the same salt/phenol concentrations and storage temperatures. The growth probabilities predicted by the salmon and TSB models were comparable at higher storage temperatures, indicating the potential use of TSB as a model system to substitute salmon in studying the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes may only be suitable when the temperatures of interest are in higher storage temperatures (e.g., >12°C). The model for salmon demonstrated the effects of salt, phenol, and storage temperature and their interactions on the growth probabilities of L. monocytogenes, and may be used to determine the growth probability of L. monocytogenes in smoked seafood.

AB  - Delineating the factors that orchestrate keratinocyte growth and differentiation in the claw is pivotal to understanding the quality of hoof horn production in health and disease. The specific objectives of this investigation were to establish an in vitro culture system for bovine coronary region keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, determine the colony-forming capacity of epidermal keratinocytes in the coronary region, and characterize transcriptional changes in specific cytokine, growth factor, and receptor genes during colony formation in coculture. Fibroblasts and keratinocytes from the coronary region of the lateral, hind limb claw were collected, and 5.0 × 103 and 7.5 × 103 keratinocytes were cultured in the presence or absence of fibroblast monolayers, respectively. The 2 densities of keratinocytes formed 144 ± 15.8 and 183 ± 26.9 colonies, respectively, in the presence of dermal fibroblasts, whereas no colonies developed in the absence of dermal fibroblasts. Keratinocytes with the ability to show colony formation comprised 1.09% ± 0.16 to 1.77% ± 0.28 of the keratinocyte population isolated from the coronary region. Keratinocyte-fibroblast cocultures developed a time-dependent increased expression of several growth factors, cytokines, and receptors. These findings demonstrated that keratinocytes from the bovine coronary region formed colonies in vitro and that colony formation occurred with an absolute dependence on dermal fibroblasts. Colony growth was associated with increased transcriptional expression of cytokine, growth factor, and receptor expression known to drive keratinocyte colony formation in other species. The results indicate that horn-producing keratinocytes must interact with dermal fibroblasts during normal tissue homeostasis in the bovine claw. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary: At the Little River Watershed (LRW) heterogeneous landscape near Tifton Georgia US an in situ network of stations operated by the US Department of Agriculture–Agriculture Research Service-Southeast Watershed Research Lab (USDA–ARS-SEWRL) was established in 2003 for the long term study of climatic and soil biophysical processes. To develop an accurate interpolation of the in situ readings that can be used to produce distributed representations of soil moisture (SM) and energy balances at the landscape scale for remote sensing studies, we studied (1) the temporal and spatial variations of ground temperature (GT) and infra red temperature (IRT) within 30 by 30m plots around selected network stations; (2) the relationship between the readings from the eight 30 by 30m plots and the point reading of the network stations for the variables SM, GT and IRT; and (3) the spatial and temporal variation of GT and IRT within agriculture landuses: grass, orchard, peanuts, cotton and bare soil in the surrounding landscape. The results showed high correlations between the station readings and the adjacent 30 by 30m plot average value for SM; high seasonal independent variation in the GT and IRT behavior among the eight 30 by 30m plots; and site specific, in-field homogeneity in each 30 by 30m plot. We found statistical differences in the GT and IRT between the different landuses as well as high correlations between GT and IRT regardless of the landuse. Greater standard deviations for IRT than for GT (in the range of 2–4) were found within the 30 by 30m, suggesting that when a single point reading for this variable is selected for the validation of either remote sensing data or water-energy models, errors may occur. The results confirmed that in this landscape homogeneous 30 by 30m plots can be used as landscape spatial units for soil moisture and ground temperature studies. Under this landscape conditions small plots can account for local expressions of environmental processes, decreasing the errors and uncertainties in remote sensing estimates caused by landscape heterogeneity.

AB  - Insect kinin neuropeptides share a common C-terminal pentapeptide sequence Phe1-Xaa12-Xaa23-Trp4-Gly5-NH2 (Xaa12= His, Asn, Phe, Ser or Tyr; Xaa23= Pro, Ser or Ala) and have been isolated from a number of insects. They have been associated with the regulation of such diverse processes as hindgut contraction, diuresis, and the release of digestive enzymes. In this review, the chemical, conformational, and stereochemical aspects of the activity of the insect kinins with expressed receptors and/or biological assays are reviewed. With this information, both nonselective and selective biostable analogues have been designed that protect peptidase-susceptible sites in the insect kinin sequence and demonstrate significant retention of activity in both receptor and biological assays. C-terminal aldehyde insect kinin analogues modify the activity of the insect kinins, leading to inhibition of weight gain and mortality in corn earworm larvae and selective inhibition of diuresis in the housefly. Promising mimetic analogue leads in the development of selective agents capable of disrupting insect kinin-regulated processes have been identified that may provide interesting tools for arthropod endocrinologists and new pest insect management strategies in the future.

AB  - Satellite imagery is being used increasingly in association with national forest inventories (NFIs) to produce maps and enhance estimates of forest attributes. We simulated several image spatial resolutions within sparsely and heavily forested study areas to assess resolution effects on estimates of forest land area, independent of other sensor characteristics. We spatially aggregated 30 m datasets to coarser spatial resolutions (90, 150, 210, 270, 510 and 990 m) and produced estimates of forest proportion for each spatial resolution using both model- and design-based approaches. Average-based aggregation had no effect on per-image estimates of forest proportion; image variability decreased with increasing spatial resolution and local variability peaked between 210 and 270 m. Majority-based aggregation resulted in overestimation of forest land in a heavily forested landscape and underestimation of forest land in a sparsely forested landscape, with both trends following a natural log distribution. Of the spatial resolutions tested, 30 m was superior for obtaining estimates using model-based approaches. However, standard errors of design-based inventory estimates of forest proportion were smallest when accompanying stratification maps which were aggregated to between 90 and 150 m spatial resolutions and strata thresholds were optimized by study area. These results suggest that spatially aggregating existing 30 m land cover datasets can provide NFIs with gains in precision of their estimates of forest land area, while reducing image storage size and processing times; land cover datasets derived from coarser spatial resolution sensors may provide similar benefits.

AB  - Abstract: In this study, we investigated the survival and inactivation kinetics of a surrogate strain of Bacillus anthracis (Sterne strain) in whole egg (WE), egg white (EW), sugared egg yolk (YSU), and salted egg yolk (YSA) at low (−20, 0, and 5°C), moderate (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40°C), and high storage temperatures (45, 50, 55, and 60°C). Outgrowth of the spores was measured as lag phase duration (LPD). Replication of vegetative cells was measured in terms of growth rate (GR) and maximum population density (MPD). Spore inactivation was recorded as inactivation rate and percent reduction in viable count. In general, spore viability decreased at low and high temperatures and increased at moderate temperatures. At 0 and 5°C, a 60–100% reduction in spore viability was seen within 2–3weeks in WE and YSU, 0–30% in YSA, and 50–100% in EW. At −20°C, however, no drop in spore titer was observed in YSU and EW but a 20% drop in titer was seen in YSA and 50% in WE within 2–3weeks. At high temperatures, WE, EW, and YSA produced a 20–50% drop in the spore titer within 1–4h whereas YSU showed 100% inactivation within 0.75h. At moderate storage temperatures, as the temperature increased from 15 to 40°C, LPD decreased from 13.5 to 0.75h and MPD reached 0.27–2.2×109 CFU/ml in YSU and WE, respectively. Markedly lower growth was observed in YSA (LPD=24–270h, MPD=9×105 CFU/ml) and spores were inactivated completely within 1–6h in EW. The survivability and inactivation data of B. anthracis in liquid egg products reported in this investigation will be helpful in developing risk assessment models on food biosecurity.

AB  - Peaches (Prunus persica Batsch cv Baifeng) were harvested at the firm-mature stage and treated with various combinations of methyl jasmonate (MJ) and hot air (HA). Severity of internal browning and flesh mealiness, firmness, extractable juice, total soluble solids (TSS), total acid, vitamin C and total phenolic contents were measured after 3 and 5 weeks of storage at 0°C plus 3d at 20°C for shelf-life. The activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5), superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), polyphenol oxidase (PPO, EC 1.10.3.1), peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7), pectin-methylesterase (PME, EC 3.1.1.11) and polygalacturonase (PG, EC 3.2.1.15) were analyzed during the cold storage period. The results showed that fruit treated with 1μmolL−1 MJ vapor at 38°C for 12h (HMJ), and heat treatment at 38°C for 12h and then treated with 1μmolL−1 MJ vapor at 20°C for 24h (HA+MJ) had the highest quality and lowest percent of chilling injury symptoms. HA treatment alone significantly inhibited internal browning, but caused more severe flesh mealiness than other treatments. This side effect was counteracted by MJ. The percent of extractable juice in combined treatments was higher than that in the control, however, no significant effect was found on firmness. TSS was 23% and 25.3% higher and total acid was 59.4% and 62.5% higher in treatments of HMJ and HA+MJ, respectively, than those in control fruit after storage for 5 weeks. Vitamin C and total phenolic contents were also maintained at higher levels in combined treatments. In addition, the combined treatments resulted in higher activities of PAL, SOD and PG, and lower activities of PPO, and POD than the control. The combination of HA and MJ vapor treatment might be a useful technique to alleviate chilling injury and maintain peach fruit quality during cold storage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Commercial regulation of ripening is currently achieved through early harvest, by controlling the postharvest storage atmosphere and genetic selection for slow or late ripening varieties. Although these approaches are often effective, they are not universally applicable and often result in acceptable, but poor quality, products. With increased understanding of the molecular biology underlying ripening and the advent of genetic engineering technologies, researchers have pursued new strategies to address problems in fruit shelf-life and quality. These have been guided by recent insights into mechanisms by which ethylene and a complex network of transcription factors regulate ripening, and by an increased appreciation of factors that contribute to shelf-life, such as the fruit cuticle.

AB  - Abstract: Six species of Aphthona flea beetles from Europe have been introduced in North America for the purpose of controlling a noxious weed, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula). In the years following the releases, five of the species have been recorded as being established at various locations. There is no evidence that the sixth species ever became established. A molecular marker key that can identify the DNA of the five established species is described. The key relies on restriction site differences found in PCR amplicons of a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. Three restriction enzymes are required to separate the immature specimens which are not visually separable. Adults which can be quickly separated into the two black species and three brown species require only two restriction enzymes to resolve the species. Many of the original releases and relocations of the flea beetles used populations containing mixed species that were often not thoroughly characterized as to species. The markers showed the presence of two Aphthona species in North Dakota that were believed to have been absent from the state for the past decade. Without the marker assay these populations would probably have been overlooked. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: A major gene controlling chlorophyll deficiency (phenotyped by yellow leaf color, yl) in sunflower was identified and mapped in an F2 population derived from a cross between two breeding lines. Greenness degree was scored by a hand-held chlorophyll meter in the F2 population. Leaf tissue from the parents, F1 hybrids, and some F2 progenies were also sampled to determine the chlorophyll content. All F1 plants had normal green leaf color and the segregation of the plants in the F2 population fits the monogenic ratio (χ (3:1)2=0.03, p>0.9), indicating that leaf color is a monogenic trait with normal green dominant over yellow leaf color in this population. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll in the yellow-leafed lines were reduced by 41.6%, 53.5%, and 44.3%, respectively, in comparison with those in the green-leafed lines. Genetic mapping with molecular markers positioned the gene, yl, to linkage group 10 of sunflower. An SSR marker, ORS 595, cosegregated with yl, and a TRAP marker, B26P17ga5-300, was linked to yl with a genetic distance of 4.2cM. The molecular marker tightly linked to the chlorophyll deficiency gene will provide insight into the process of chlorophyll metabolism in sunflower. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

In Sub-Saharan Africa, iron deficiency anaemia has largely been attributed to poor infant feeding practices where complementary foods low in iron bioavailability are offered to at-risk infants. Home fortification of complementary foods using micronutrient Sprinkles has been shown to reduce iron deficiency anaemia in many resource-poor settings. In this study, the benefit of using the micronutrient Sprinkles as a home fortificant for some Kenyan complementary foods was assessed using an in vitro Caco-2 cell model. In each case when micronutrient Sprinkles were added to the complementary food, the amount of Caco-2 cell ferritin formation increased. For example, the addition of Sprinkles to corn porridge increased ferritin formation 5-fold from 5.8 to 31.8 ng mg−1. Therefore, as indicated by the results, micronutrient Sprinkles would be a suitable form of home fortification for Kenyan complementary foods. Their use should be encouraged so as to improve infant feeding practices in Kenya. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A collection ofPseudomonas corrugataandP. mediterraneastrains, two closely related species, was evaluated for the presence and variability ofphaloci. Using PCR methods that specifically amplify segments of medium-chain-length poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (mcl-PHA) synthase genes, we demonstrated the presence ofphaC1andphaC2in allP. mediterraneastrains tested and in six out of 56 strains ofP. corrugatascreened. The remaining 50 strains ofP. corrugatayielded only thephaC2subgene fragment on detection by a combined PCR-restriction endonuclease analysis method or a semi-nested PCR-amplification approach. A Southern hybridization study on a representative strain from this group, however, indicated the presence of thephaC1gene. Nucleic acid sequences of the subgenephaCfragments of the representative strains from the three groups showed an overall similarity ranging from 95% to 100%. The major repeat-unit monomers of the mcl-PHAs isolated from these selected strains are ß-hydroxyoctanoate (33-47 mol%) and ß-hydroxydecanoate (26-36 mol%). These results differentiate for the first time the strains ofP. corrugatainto twopha-distinguishable groups. This study also documents for the first time the production of mcl-PHA inP. mediterranea.

AB  - We compared the success of using naturally occurring stable isotopes of N, C, and Sr as markers for the  rearing locations of juvenile salmon. We analyzed the isotopic signatures (δ15N and δ13C in muscle and scales and 87Sr/86Sr in otoliths) of >200 juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from 12 tributaries of the Connecticut River, USA. Young salmon had distinct N and C signatures 5 weeks after stocking. Signatures were stable over the summer although δ13C varied more than δ15N or 87Sr/86Sr. Scale and muscle signatures were highly correlated, demonstrating the feasibility of nonlethal sampling using fish scales. Some C (but not N) signature from the hatchery was retained in scales of 3-month-old fish, implicating scale annuli as a repository for past C signatures. The δ15N values successfully differentiated fish from tributaries with differences in land use (e.g., agricultural versus forested; ≈ 33% of sites); the δ13C values differentiated fish from 45% of sites. Based upon a discriminant-function analysis, group membership of individuals was correctly predicted in 44.3% (74 of 167) of cases for which both N and C were analyzed. In combination, N and C isotopes differentiated 73% of study sites, which was close to the success of Sr isotopes in the same system (83%). (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Nous avons comparé la performance des isotopes stables de N, C et Sr qui existent en nature comme marqueurs du lieu où se sont développés des jeunes saumons. Nous avons analysé les signatures isotopiques (δ15N et δ13C dans le muscle et les écailles et 87Sr/86Sr dans les otolithes) chez >200 jeunes saumons atlantiques (Salmo salar) dans 12 tributaires du fleuve Connecticut, États-Unis. Les jeunes saumons possèdent des signatures N et C distinctes 5 semaines après l'empoissonnement. Les signatures demeurent stables au cours de l'été bien que δ13C varie plus que δ15N ou que 87Sr/86Sr. Il y a une forte corrélation entre les signatures du muscle et des écailles; il est donc possible de faire des prélèvements non létaux au moyen des écailles des poissons. Des vestiges de la signature de C (mais non de N) de la pisciculture persistent dans les écailles des poissons âgés de 3 mois; les annulus des écailles sont donc des points de rétentions des signatures antérieures de C. Les valeurs de δ15N permettent de séparer avec succès des tributaires dans des zones d'utilisation des terres différentes (par exemple, les zones agricoles des zones forestières : ≈ 33 % des sites); δ13C permet la reconnaissance de 45 % des sites. Une analyse des fonctions discriminantes permet de prédire correctement l'appartenance des individus à un groupe dans 44,3 % (74/167) des cas lorsque C et N ont été tous deux analysés. La combinaison des isotopes N et C permet de séparer 73 % des sites, ce qui s'approche de la performance des isotopes Sr dans le même système (83 %).[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Twenty-four simple sequence repeat markers were developed for Phakopsora pachyrhizi, a fungal pathogen of soybean ( Glycine max) and other legumes. All 24 of the loci were evaluated on 28 isolates of P. pachyrhizi. Twenty-one loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to eight alleles, and null alleles were observed for eight of the 24 loci. A preliminary screen with the closely related species, P. meibomiae, indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. pachyrhizi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article analyzes the effects of substituting distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for more expensive feed on cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). Feed is the major expense in fish farming and protein is its most costly part. The yeasts in the distillers dried grains provide critical lysine. The article presents comparative weight gains vs. feed intake and fish survival rates for feeds containing differing DDGS percentages, with and without supplemental lysine, and finds no immunological side-effects of the DDGS feeding.

AB  - Recent genetic studies suggest that in northern Minnesota two species of wolves (Canis lupus L., 1758 or western wolf and Canis lycaon Schreber, 1775 (= Canis rufus Audubon and Bachman, 1851) or eastern wolf) meet and hybridize. However, little morphological information is available about these two types of wolves in Minnesota. We analyzed the mass of 950 female wolves and 1006 males older than 1 year from across northern Minnesota and found that it increased from 26.30 ± 0.56 kg (mean ± SE) for females and 30.60 ± 0.72 kg for males in northeastern Minnesota to 30.01 ± 0.43 kg for females and 35.94 ± 0.45 kg for males in northwestern Minnesota (females: r2 = 0.79, P < 0.02; males: r2 = 0.63, P = 0.06). These mass differences add morphological information to the identities of eastern and western wolves and support the view that ranges of the two species meet in Minnesota. Des études génétiques récentes indiquent que, dans le nord du Minnesota, deux espèces de loups (Canis lupus L., 1758, le loup de l’ouest, et Canis lycaon Schreber, 1775 (= Canis rufus Audubon et Bachman, 1851), le loup de l’est) se rencontrent et font de l’hybridation. Il existe, cependant, peu d’information morphologique sur ces deux types de loups au Minnesota. Nous avons mesuré la masse de 950 louves et 1006 loups de plus de 1 an dans tout le nord du Minnesota et trouvé que la masse augmente de 26,30 ± 0,56 kg (moyenne ± ET) chez les femelles et de 30,60 ± 0,72 kg chez les mâles dans le nord-est du Minnesota à 30,01 ± 0,43 kg chez les femelles et à 35,94 ± 0,45 kg chez les mâles dans le nord-ouest du Minnesota (females : r2 = 0,79, P < 0,02; mâles : r2 = 0,63, P = 0,06). Ces différences de masse constituent des renseignements morphologiques additionnels sur l’identité des loups de l’est et de l’ouest et elles appuient le point de vue selon lequel les aires de répartition des deux espèces se recoupent au Minnesota.

AB  - Photosynthesis is particularly sensitive to direct inhibition by heat stress. This inhibition is closely associated with the inactivation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). To develop a more complete understanding of the mechanism of inactivation of Rubisco under moderate heat stress, various aspects of the process were examined both in vivo and in vitro. Experiments with isolated Rubisco revealed that the rate of synthesis of the catalytic misfire product, xylulose-I,5-bisphosphate, increased with temperature. Activated Rubisco, produced by reaction with activase at a control temperature of 25°C or by incubation with high C02, deactivated when the temperature of the reaction exceeded temperatures that were equivalent to the optimum for activase adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Measurements of the activation state of Rubisco in cotton and tobacco leaves showed that Rubisco inactivated within 7 s of imposing a heat stress. Thus, elevated temperature had an opposite effect on the two processes that ultimately determine the activation state of Rubisco, decreasing activase activity but stimulating the catalytic misfire reaction that inactivates Rubisco. These data support a mechanism for the inactivation of Rubisco at high temperature involving an inability of activase to overcome the inherently faster rates of Rubisco inactivation. That the net effect of elevated temperatures on Rubisco activation is similar both in vivo and under controlled conditions in vitro argues for a direct effect of temperature on the activation of Rubisco by activase and against the proposal that the deactivation of Rubisco under moderate heat stress is a secondary consequence of perturbations in the thylakoid membrane.

AB  - p.-k. chang, r.a. wilson, n.p. keller and t.e. cleveland. 2004.To investigate how linoleic acid affects conidial production and sclerotial development in a strictly mitoticAspergillus parasiticusfield isolate as related to improving biocompetitivity of atoxigenicAspergillusspecies.We disruptedA. parasiticusΔ12-oleic acid desaturase gene (odeA) responsible for the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid. We examined conidiation and sclerotial development of SRRC 2043 and three isogenic mutant strains deleted for theodeAgene (ΔodeA), either with or without supplementing linoleic acid, on one complex potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and on two defined media: nitrate-containing Czapek agar (CZ) and Cove's ammonium medium (CVN). TheΔodeA mutants produced less conidia than the parental strain on all media. Linoleic acid supplementation (as sodium linoleate at 0·3 and 1·2 mg ml−1) restored theΔodeA conidial production comparable to or exceeding the unsupplemented parental level, and the effect was medium dependent, with the highest increase on CVN and the least on PDA. SRRC 2043 and theΔodeA mutants were unable to produce sclerotia on CVN. On unsupplemented PDA and CZ,ΔodeA sclerotial mass was comparable to that of SRRC 2043, but sclerotial number increased significantly to two- to threefold. Supplementing linoleic acid to media, in general, tended to decrease wild type andΔodeA sclerotial mass and sclerotial number.Linoleic acid stimulates conidial production but has an inhibitory effect on sclerotial development. The relationship between the two processes inA. parasiticusis complex and affected by multiple factors, such as fatty acid composition and nitrogen source.Conditions that promote sclerotial development differ from those required to promote maximum conidial production. Manipulation of content and availability of linoleic acid at different fungal growth phases might optimize conidial and sclerotial production hence increasing the efficacy of biocompetitiveAspergillusspecies.

AB  - Oat–maize radiation hybrids are oat (Avena sativa L.) plants carrying radiation-induced subchromosome fragments of a given maize (Zea mays L.) chromosome. Since first-generation radiation hybrids contain various maize chromosome rearrangements in a hemizygous condition, variation might be expected in the transmission of these rearrangements to subsequent generations. The transmission and integrity of maize chromosome 9 rearrangements were evaluated in progenies of 30 oat–maize radiation hybrids by using a series of DNA-based markers and by genomic in situ hybridization. Maize chromosome 9 rearrangements were reisolated by self-fertilization in 24 of the 30 radiation hybrid lineages. Normal and deleted versions of maize chromosome 9 were transmitted at similar frequencies of 9.1% and 7.6%, respectively, while intergenomic translocations were transmitted at a significantly higher frequency of 47.6%. Most lines (93%) that inherited a rearrangement had it in the hemizygous condition. Lines with a rearrangement in the homozygous state (7%) were only identified in lineages with intergenomic translocations. Homozygous lines are more desirable from the perspective of stock maintenance, since they may stably transmit a given rearrangement to a subsequent generation. However, their isolation is not strictly required, since hemizygous lines can also be used for genome mapping studies. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Des hybrides d'irradiation avoine-maïs sont des plants d'avoine (Avena sativa L.) contenant des fragments d'un chromosome donné du maïs (Zea mays L.), ces fragments étant le produit d'une irradiation. Puisque les hybrides d'irradiation de première génération contiennent divers réarrangements chromosomiques du maïs à l'état hémizygote, une variation est attendue dans la transmission de ces réarrangements aux générations subséquentes. La transmission et l'intégrité de réarrangements du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été évaluées à l'aide de marqueurs génétiques et par hybridation génomique in situ parmi les descendants de 30 hybrides d'irradiation avoine-maïs. Les réarrangements du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été retrouvés suite à une autofécondation au sein de 24 des 30 descendances d'hybrides d'irradiation. Les versions normales et délétées du chromosome 9 du maïs ont été transmises à des fréquences semblables, soit respectivement 9,1 % et 7,6 %. Par contre, les translocations intergénomiques ont été transmises beaucoup plus efficacement (47,6 %). La plupart des lignées avec un réarrangement l'ont hérité à l'état hémizygote (93 %). Des lignées avec des réarrangements à l'état homozygote (7 %) ont été obtenues uniquement parmi les descendances qui portaient une translocation intergénomique. Les lignées homozygotes sont plus souhaitables du point de vue du maintien des stocks génétiques car elles peuvent transmettre un réarrangement donné de manière stable de génération en génération. Cependant, leur obtention n'est pas absolument requise puisque des lignées hémizygotes peuvent également servir lors de travaux de cartographie génomique. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effects of seasonal prescribed fire on the belowground ectomycorrhizal community and live fine root biomass were investigated before, 1 year after, and 2 years after prescribed underburning. Ectomycorrhizas were sampled from four replications of three treatments (fall underburning, spring underburning, and a nonburned control) in a randomized complete block design. Samples were separated in two subsamples representing the upper 5 cm and lower 5 cm of a soil core. Molecular tools were used to distinguish 140 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) species of fungi directly from the ectomycorrhizas. Prior to underburning, the number of RFLP species and amount of live root biomass were similar among treatment units and between upper and lower core samples. Fall underburning largely removed live root biomass to a depth of 10 cm and significantly reduced ectomycorrhizal species richness compared with spring underburning and the nonburned control for at least 2 years. RFLP species richness and live root biomass following spring underburning were generally similar to the nonburned treatment. The successful reintroduction of fire to the ecosystem to retain high species diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi and achieve the desired future condition of large-tree ponderosa pine retention with low fuel loads may require more than underburning in a single season. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les effets du brûlage dirigé saisonnier sur la communauté ectomycorhizienne dans le sol et la biomasse de racines fines vivantes ont été étudiés avant, 1 an après et 2 ans après un brûlage dirigé superficiel. Les ectomycorhizes ont été échantillonnées dans les quatre répétitions de trois traitements (brûlage automnal, brûlage printanier et témoin non brûlé) établis selon un dispositif en blocs aléatoires complets. Les échantillons ont été divisés en deux sous-échantillons représentant les parties supérieure (5 cm) et inférieure (5 cm) d'une carotte de sol. Des outils moléculaires ont été utilisés pour distinguer 140 espèces de champignons sur la base des RFLP directement à partir des ectomycorhizes. Avant le brûlage, le nombre d'espèces et la biomasse de racines vivantes étaient similaires entre toutes les parcelles expérimentales et entre les parties supérieure et inférieure des carottes de sol. Le brûlage automnal a pratiquement éliminé la biomasse de racines vivantes jusqu'à une profondeur de 10 cm et significativement réduit la richesse en espèces ectomycorhiziennes comparativement au brûlage printanier et au témoin non brûlé pendant au moins 2 ans. La richesse en espèces basées sur les RFLP et la biomasse de racines vivantes à la suite du brûlage printanier étaient généralement semblables au traitement non brûlé. La réintroduction réussie du feu dans l'écosystème dans le but de conserver une grande diversité d'espèces de champignons ectomycorhiziens et de recréer les conditions futures souhaitées pour conserver des pins ponderosa de forte dimension avec une faible quantité de combustibles pourrait exiger plus qu'un brûlage superficiel au cours d'une seule saison.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Infectious bronchitis is a respiratory disease of chickens that is caused by the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Virtually all broiler and layer breeder flocks are routinely vaccinated against IBV. Two hatches of 1-day-old chicks from four lines were mistakenly vaccinated for infectious bronchitis using a moderately attenuated vaccine designed for chicks of an older age. The vaccination resulted in high mortality, and chicks from three of four lines died with signs typical of infectious bronchitis. The mortality that occurred using this less-attenuated vaccine was significantly influenced by the genetic line, and the MHC (B) haplotype in chickens of three B congenic lines. B congenic chickens possessing the B*15 haplotype were resistant in contrast to chickens possessing the B*13 or B*21 haplotypes. Chicks from two further hatches of the four lines were vaccinated appropriately with a more attenuated IBV vaccine, and only limited chick mortality was seen. These retrospective data from two repeated hatches confirm earlier data indicating chicken genes influence resistance to IBV, and indicate for the first time that genes tightly linked to the B haplotype are relevant in resistance to IBV. Due to extenuating circumstances it was not possible to verify results with chicks from F 2 matings. Factors that may enhance definition of the role of the B haplotype in immune response to IBV, and the desirability for further analysis of a B haplotype-linked influence on immunity to IBV are discussed.

AB  - A previously developed monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the heavy chain of hybrid striped bass (HSB) Morone chrysops× M. saxatilis immunoglobulin was used in an assay to detect the humoral response to antigens of Streptococcus iniae. In order to validate this assay, an anti- S. iniae antibody was produced in HSB by immunization with formalin-killed cells of S. iniae mixed with Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). After boosting with cells mixed with Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA), fish were challenged with live S. iniae by i.p. injection. This resulted in mortalities of 100%, 13% and 7% for non-immunized, immunized and non-challenged fish respectively. Live S. iniae were recovered only from moribund non-immunized challenged fish, indicating that the immunization conferred protection against S. iniae. Sera were taken at 28 and 42 days post challenge and anti- S. iniae antibody was measured by both agglutination and indirect ELISA. Titres of anti- S. iniae antibody increased only in the immunized group as measured by agglutination and ELISA. Serum complement measured in the final bleeding was significantly higher in the immunized group. Western blotting using immune HSB serum indicated that the predominant antigen in this case was the high molecular weight polysaccharide of S. iniae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - •  Understanding how trees are affected by a long-term increase in atmospheric CO2 is crucial to understanding the future impact of global climate change. Measurements of photosynthetic characteristics were made in sour orange trees ( Citrus aurantium) growing under an enhanced CO2 atmosphere and N-replete soil for 14 yr to determine whether photosynthetic down-regulation had occurred. •  Photosynthesis, A : Ci gas exchange relationships and Rubisco activity and content were measured throughout the 14th year of the experiment. The CO2-induced enhancement ratio of photosynthesis was calculated and compared with estimates of the enhancement of cumulative wood biomass production. •  Content of the large subunit of Rubisco was significantly reduced by CO2 enrichment indicating that down-regulation had occurred. A high correlation between the CO2-induced enhancement of photosynthesis and the enhancement of cumulative wood biomass production suggested that the decline in wood biomass production was closely related to the decline in photosynthesis. •  These results indicate that long-term CO2 enrichment can result in photosynthetic down-regulation in leaves of trees, even under nonlimiting N conditions. ♥ New Phytologist (2004) No claim to original US government worksδοι: 10.1011/j.1469-8137.2004.01104.x [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The proportion of cropland cover in the catchments of Missouri reservoirs, a surrogate for non-point-source nutrient loss from agricultural watersheds, accounts for some 60%–70% of the cross-system variance in long-term averages of total phosphorus and total nitrogen (n = 126, ln transformation for nutrients and logit for cropland). The addition of dam height and an index of flushing rate improved r2 values to ~77% for both nutrients. Even among reservoir catchments with >80% grass and forest cover, cropland accounted for most of the variation in nutrients. Reservoir nutrients showed a strong negative relation to forest cover. Relations between grass cover and nutrients were positive but weak, and grass had no significant statistical effect once cropland was taken into account. Residual analysis suggests that urban reservoirs would have about twice the nutrient level of reservoirs in non-cropland basins (forest and grass). The increase in nutrients with the proportion of cropland and the decrease with forest cover have previously been documented in Missouri streams. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La proportion des terres agricoles dans les bassins versants des réservoirs du Missouri, une variable de remplacement pour les pertes diffuses de nutriments dans les bassins versants agricoles, explique environ 60 % – 70 % de la variances des quantités moyennes à long terme de phosphore total et d'azote total dans les bassins (n = 126, transformation ln des valeurs de nutriments et transformation logit dans le cas des terres agricoles). L'addition de la hauteur des barrages et d'un indice de vidange améliore les valeurs de r2 à ~77 % pour les deux variables de nutriments. Même dans les bassins versants de réservoirs avec >80 % de couverture de prairie ou de forêts, les terres agricoles expliquent la plus grande partie de la variation des nutriments. Il y a une forte relation négative entre les nutriments dans les réservoirs et la couverture forestière. Les relations entre la prairie et les nutriments sont positives, mais faibles, et tout effet statistiquement significatif disparaît lorsqu'on tient compte des terres agricoles. Une analyse résiduelle indique que les réservoirs urbains auraient environ le double des concentrations de nutriments des réservoirs dans les bassins versants sans terres agricoles (donc de forêts et de prairies). L'augmentation des nutriments en fonction de la proportion des terres agricoles et leur diminution en fonction de la couverture forestière avaient déjà été démontrées dans les cours d'eau du Missouri.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We have previously developed phytoremediation and phytomining technologies employingAlyssumNi hyperaccumulators to quantitatively extract Ni from soils. Implementation of these technologies requires knowledge of Ni localization patterns for theAlyssumspecies/ecotypes of interest under realistic growth conditions. We investigated Ni uptake and localization in matureAlyssum murale‘Kotodesh’ and ‘AJ9ç leaves. Seedlings were grown in potting mix with an increasing series of NiSO4 addition (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 mmol Ni kg-1), NiC4H6O4 addition (0, 5, 10, 30, 60, 90 mmol Ni kg-1), in Ni-contaminated soil from metal refining operations, and serpentine soil. Plants at Ni levels 0, 5, 10, 20 mmolkg-1 and in native soils grew normally. Plants at 40 mmolkg-1 exhibited the onset of phytotoxicity, and 60, 80, and 90 mmolkg-1 were demonstrably phytotoxic, but symptoms of phytotoxicity abated within 6 months. Cryogenic complement fractures were made from frozen hydrated samples. High-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken of one half. The other half was freeze-dried and examined with SEM and semi-quantitative energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Ni was highly concentrated in epidermal cell vacuoles and Ni and S counts showed a positive correlation. Trichome pedicles and the epidermal tissue from which the trichome grows were primary Ni compartments, but Ni was not distributed throughout trichomes. Palisade and spongy mesophyll and guard/substomatal cells contained lesser Ni concentrations but palisade mesophyll was an increasingly important compartment as Ni soil levels increased. Ni was virtually excluded from vascular tissue and trichome rays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Six mixed-breed dogs were trained to detect 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in laboratory-prepared water. The three dogs most responsive to training were selected for further testing to measure their ability to detect these compounds at levels typical of the early stages of an ‘off-flavour’ event in catfish pond culture. The dogs were given one out of five choices of off-flavour and ‘on-flavour’ water samples and were trained to sit at boxes containing off-flavour sample tubes. At the lowest concentration tested, 10 ng L−1 of the target compound, the mean correct responses for the three dogs were 37%, 43% and 67%. Additional testing was conducted using off-flavour pond water samples containing known amounts of these two compounds that occurred naturally. Correct responses for off-flavour samples varied from 30% to 95%, depending on the sample and the dog. On-flavour samples were correctly identified with 96% accuracy for all dogs and all samples. Dogs may provide practical early detection of off-flavour problems in catfish ponds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The diversity of vegetative compatibility (vc) types and mating type was estimated in populations of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, throughout Macedonia and from selected areas in Greece. Nearly all of the 786 isolates (94%) from Macedonia were in a single vc type, EU-12; all 379 isolates from Greece were EU-12. Only six of 20 populations in Macedonia had more than one vc type. The diversity of vc types in the most diverse populations of Macedonia was comparable with the least diverse populations found previously in Italy. All but six of the 313 isolates assayed had the same mating type, MAT-1, and no perithecia of Cryphonectria parasitica were observed in any population. These results lead to the conclusion that sexual reproduction does not occur in these populations. The lack of vc type diversity may indicate a high potential for the spread of hypoviruses and successful biological control with transmissible hypovirulence. However, if sexual reproduction should occur in Macedonian populations, up to 32 vc types would be possible by recombination among vegetative incompatibility loci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Remote sensing, geographic information systems, and modeling have combined to produce a virtual explosion of growth in ecological investigations and applications that are explicitly spatial and temporal Of all remotely sensed data, those acquired by Landsat sensors have played the most pivotal role in spatial and temporal scaling. Modern terrestrial ecology relies on remote sensing for modeling biogeochemical cycles and for characterizing land cover, vegetation biophysical attributes, forest structure, and fragmentation in relation to biodiversity. Given the more than 30-year record of Landsat data, mapping land and vegetation cover change and using the derived surfaces in ecological models is becoming commonplace. In this article, we summarize this large body of work, highlighting the unique role of Landsat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pearly mussels (Unionacea) are widespread, abundant, and important in freshwater ecosystems around the world. Catastrophic declines in pearly mussel populations in North America and other parts of the world have led to a flurry of research on mussel biology, ecology, and conservation. Recent research on mussel feeding, life history, spatial patterning, and declines has augmented, modified, or overturned long-held ideas about ecology of these annuals. Pearly mussel research has begun to benefit from and contribute to current ideas about suspension feeding, life-history theory, metapopulations, flow refuges, spatial patterning and its effects, and management of endangered species. At the same time, significant gaps  in understanding and apparent paradoxes in pearls' mussel ecology have been exposed. To conserve remaining mussel populations, scientists and  managers must simultaneously and aggressively pursue both rigorous research and conservation actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hierarchical and branching river networks interact with dynamo, Watershed disturbances, such as fires, storms, and floods, to impose a spatial and  temporal organization on the nonuniform distribution of riverine habitats, with consequences for biological diversity anal productivity. Abrupt  changes in water and sediment flux occur at channel confluences to river networks and trigger changes in channel and floodplain morphology This  observation, when taken in the context of a river network as a population of channels and their confluences, allows the development of testable predictions about how basin size,  basin shape. drainage density, and network geometry interact to regulate the spatial distribution of physical diversity  in channel and riparian attributes throughout a river basin. The spatial structure of river networks also regulates how stochastic watershed disturbances influence the morphology and ages of fluvial features found at confluences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - West Nile virus (WNV) has spread rapidly across North America, resulting in human deaths and in the deaths of untold numbers of birds, mammals, and reptiles. The virus has reached Central America and the Caribbean and may spread to Hawaii and South America. Although tens of thousands of birds have died, and studies of some bird species show local declines, few regionwide declines can be attributed to WNV. Predicting future impacts of WNV on wildlife, and pinpointing what drives epidemics, will require substantial additional research into host susceptibility, reservoir competency, and linkages between climate, mosquitoes, and disease. Such work will entail a collaborative effort between scientists in governmental research groups, in surveillance and control programs, and in nongovernmental organizations. West Nile virus was not the first, and it will not be the last, exotic disease to be introduced to the New World. Its spread in North America highlights the need to strengthen animal monitoring programs and to integrate them with research on disease ecology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The direct and indirect effects of increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on plant nitrogen (N) content were studied in a shortgrass steppe ecosystem in northeastern Colorado, USA. Beginning in 1997 nine experimental plots were established: three open-top chambers with ambient CO2 levels (approximately 365 μmol mol-1), three open-top chambers with twice-ambient CO2 levels (approximately 720 μmol mol-1), and three unchambered control plots. After 3 years of growing-season CO2 treatment, the aboveground N concentration of plants grown under elevated atmospheric CO2 decreased, and the carbon–nitrogen (C:N) ratio increased. At the same time, increased aboveground biomass production under elevated atmospheric CO2 conditions increased the net transfer of N out of the soil of elevated-CO2 plots. Aboveground biomass production after simulated herbivory was also greater under elevated CO2 compared to ambient CO2. Surprisingly, no significant changes in belowground plant tissue N content were detected in response to elevated CO2. Measurements of individual species at peak standing phytomass showed significant effects of CO2 treatment on aboveground plant tissue N concentration and significant differences between species in N concentration, suggesting that changes in species composition under elevated CO2 will contribute to overall changes in nutrient cycling. Changes in plant N content, driven by changes in aboveground plant N concentration, could have important consequences for biogeochemical cycling rates and the long-term productivity of the shortgrass steppe as atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase.

AB  - The genome of nearly all chickens contains various DNA proviral insertions of retroviruses of subgroup E avian leukosis virus (ALVE). However, the elimination or control of ALVE gene expression is desirable to improve productivity, to improve resistance to avian leukosis virus (ALV)-induced tumours, and to develop safer live virus vaccines in chick embryos and cultured chick cells. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and polymerase chain reaction methods are used to define the presence of ALVE genes; and the expression of ALVE in chicken plasma or on cells, and the susceptibility of cells to ALVE is determined by flow cytometry using a specific (R2) antibody. ADOL line 0 chickens have been selected to be free of ALVE genes, while being resistant (i.e. lack receptors to ALVE), but susceptible to exogenous ALV (i.e. ALVA, ALVB, ALVC and ALVJ). To develop improved line 0-type chickens, ADOL line 0 was outcrossed to a commercial line that had one ALVE gene and evidence for ALVE resistance. Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) challenge was used to confirm resistance of F 1 chickens to ALVE, and susceptibility of F 2 breeders to ALVA and ALVB using test chicks produced by matings to line 7 2 . Selected F 2 breeders were resistant to ALVE, but susceptible to exogenous ALVA, ALVB, ALVC and ALVJ, based on challenge tests of progeny chick cells using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The new line, 0 1 , has evidence for improved egg size, productivity, fertility and hatchability. Similar procedures may be used for development of productive ALVE free chicken lines with preferred ALV susceptibility traits. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - El genoma de casi todos los pollos contiene inserciones de ADN proviral de los retrovirus del subgrupo E del virus de la leucosis aviar (ALVE). Aun así, la eliminación o el control de la expresión del gen ALVE es deseable para mejorar la productividad, la resistencia a los tumores inducidos por el virus de leucosis aviar (ALV), y para desarrollar vacunas vivas más seguras en embriones de pollo y en cultivos celulares de pollo. Las técnicas de RFLP y PCR se usan para demostrar la presencia de genes de ALVE y la expresión de ALVE en plasma de pollo o en células, y la susceptibilidad de las células al ALVE se determina mediante citometría de flujo utilizando un anticuerpo especifico (R2). La línea 0 ADOL de pollos se ha seleccionado como una línea libre de genes ALVE , ya que es resistente, es decir, no tiene receptors para ALVE, pero es susceptible a los ALV exógenos, es decir, ALVA, ALVB, ALVC y ALVJ. Para desarrollar pollos mejorados de la línea 0, la línea 0 ADOL se cruzó con una línea comercial que únicamente tenía un gen de ALVE , y evidencias de resistencia a ALVE. El desafío experimental con el virus del sarcoma de Rous (RSV) confirmó la resistencia de los pollos F 1 al ALVE, y la susceptibilidad de los reproductores F 2 al ALVA y ALVB utilizando pollitos de prueba obtenidos mediante emparejamiento con la línea 7 2 . Reproductores F 2 seleccionados fueron resistentes al ALVE, pero susceptibles a los virus exógenos ALVA, ALVB, ALVC y ALVJ, en base a los desafíos experimentales de la progenie mediante un ELISA. La nueva línea, 0 1 , evidenció una mejora en el tamaño de los huevos, productividad, fertilidad e incubabilidad. Se podrían utilizar procedimientos similares para desarrollar líneas productivas de pollos libres de ALVE con diferentes susceptibilidades a ALV. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Le génome de presque tous les poulets contient différentes insertions provirales d'ADN de rétrovirus de la leucose aviaire du sous groupe E (ALVE). Cependant, l'élimination ou le contrôle de l'expression du gène de l' ALVE est souhaitable pour améliorer la productivité et la résistance à la leucose aviaire (ALV) induisant des tumeurs, et pour développer de manière plus sûre des vaccins vivants sur œufs embryonnés et sur cellules de poulet. Les méthodes RFLP et PCR sont utilisées pour mettre en évidence la présence des gènes d'ALVE . La cytométrie en flux utilisant un anticorps spécifique (R2) est employée pour déterminer l'expression d'ALVE dans le plasma ou les cellules de poulet et la sensibilité des cellules à l'ALVE. La lignée de poulet ADOL 0 a été sélectionnée comme étant indemne de gènes d' ALVE, cependant résistante, c'est-à-dire absence de recepteurs à l'ALVE, mais sensible aux ALV exogènes, c'est-à-dire ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, et ALVJ. Pour développer la lignée de poulet de type 0 améliorée, la lignée ADOL 0 a été croisée avec une lignée commerciale qui avait un gène d'ALVE et qui était résistante à l'ALVE. Le virus d'épreuve du sarcome de roux a été utilisé pour confirmer la résistance des poulets F 1 à l'ALVE, et la sensibilité des reproducteurs F 2 à l'ALVA et l'ALVB en utilisant le test des poulets issus après croisement avec la lignée 7 2 . Les reproducteurs F 2 sélectionnés étaient résistants à l'ALVE mais sensibles aux ALVA, ALVB, ALVC et ALVJ exogènes basé sur des tests d'épreuve des cellules des poulets de la descendance en utilisant un test ELISA. Les performances de la nouvelle lignée 0 1 , ont été améliorées en terme de taille des œufs, productivité, fertilité et éclosabilité. Des procédures similaires peuvent être utilisées pour le développement de lignées de poulets indemnes d'ALVE avec des caractères sélectionnés de sensibilité à ALV. (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Das Genom nahezu aller Hühner enthält verschiedene virale DNS-Insertionen von Retroviren der Subgruppe E des aviären Leukosevirus (ALVE). Die Eliminierung oder Kontrolle der ALVE -Genexpression ist jedoch wünschenswert, um die Produktivität und die Resistenz gegen ALV-induzierte Tumorbildung zu verbessern und um sicherere Lebendvirusvakzinen in Hühnerembryonen und Hühnerzellkulturen herstellen zu können. Zum Nachweis von ALVE -Genen wurden RFLP- und PCR-Methoden benutzt. Die Expression von ALVE im Hühnerplasma oder auf Zellen sowie die Empfänglichkeit von Zellen für ALVE wurde im Flowzytometer unter Verwendung eines spezifischen Antikörpers (R2) bestimmt. Hühner der ADOL-Linie 0 waren auf die Freiheit von ALVE -Genen selektiert worden. Gleichzeitig waren sie resistent gegenüber ALVE d.h. ihnen fehlten die Rezeptoren, jedoch empfänglich für exogenes ALV, d.h. für ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, und ALVJ. Zur Verbesserung von Hühnern des Linie-0-Typs wurde die ADOL-Linie 0 mit einer kommerziellen Linie, die ein ALVE -Gen und den Nachweis für die ALVE-Resistenz hatte, fremdgekreuzt. Belastungsinfektionen mit Rous-Sarkom-Virus wurden durchgeführt, um die Resistenz der F 1 -Hühner gegen ALVE zu bestätigen. Die Empfänglichkeit der F 2 -Zuchttiere für ALVA und ALVB wurde unter Verwendung von Testküken aus der Paarung mit Linie 7 2 ermittelt. Basierend auf Belastungstests mit Zellen der Nachkommen im ELISA wurden die selektierten F 2 -Zuchttiere als resistent gegen ALVE, aber empfänglich für ALVA, ALVB, ALVC, und ALVJ bezeichnet. Die neue Linie 0 1 wies eine höhere Legeleistung mit verbesserter Eigröße sowie Befruchtungs- und Schlupfrate auf. Ähnliche Methoden können für die Entwicklung von leistungsstarken ALVE-freien Hühnerlinien mit bestimmten ALV-Empfänglichkeits-Erbeigenschaften angewendet werden. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The humoral immune responses and host protection of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) were determined after immunization with live theronts and sonicated trophonts. Immunizations with live theronts or sonicated trophonts were carried out by both bath immersion and intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Cutaneous and serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels and anti-Ich antibodies were measured 12 and 21 days post-immunization. The level of Ich infection and survival of catfish were determined after theront challenge. Cutaneous and serum anti-Ich antibodies were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection, or with sonicated trophonts administered by i.p. injection, than in fish immunized with sonicated trophonts by immersion, with bovine serum albumin by i.p. injection, or non-immunized controls. Host protection was noted only in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection or with sonicated trophonts by i.p. injection. There was a positive correlation between higher levels of anti-Ich antibodies and host survival in the immunized fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass releases furan and phenolic compounds, which are toxic to microorganisms used for subsequent fermentation. In this study, we isolated new microorganisms for depletion of inhibitors in lignocellulosic acid hydrolysates. A sequential enrichment strategy was used to isolate microorganisms from soil. Selection was carried out in a defined mineral medium containing a mixture of ferulic acid (5 mM), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF, 15 mM), and furfural (20 mM) as the carbon and energy sources, followed by an additional transfer into a corn stover hydrolysate (CSH) prepared using dilute acid. Subsequently, based on stable growth on these substrates, six isolates—including five bacteria related to Methylobacterium extorquens, Pseudomonas sp, Flavobacterium indologenes, Acinetobacter sp., Arthrobacter aurescens, and one fungus, Coniochaeta ligniaria—were chosen. All six isolates depleted toxic compounds from defined medium, but only C. ligniaria C8 (NRRL 30616) was effective at eliminating furfural and 5-HMF from CSH. C. ligniaria NRRL 30616 may be useful in developing a bioprocess for inhibitor abatement in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sterile insect technique (SIT) programs are designed to eradicate pest species by releasing mass-reared, sterile insects into an infested area. The first major implementation of SIT was the New World Screwworm Eradication Program, which successfully eliminated the New World screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), from the Continental US, Mexico and much of Central America. Ionizing radiation is currently used for sterilization, but transgenic insect techniques could replace this method, providing a safer, more cost-effective alternative. Genetic transformation methods have been demonstrated in NWS, and verified by Southern blot hybridization, PCR and sequencing of element insertion junctions. A lethal insertional mutation and enhancer detection-like phenotypic expression variations are presented and discussed. In addition to supporting the eradication efforts, transformation methods offer potential means to identify genes and examine gene function in NWS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although the catalytic activity of Rubisco increases with temperature, the low affinity of the enzyme for CO2 and its dual nature as an oxygenase limit the possible increase in net photosynthesis with temperature. For cotton, comparisons of measured rates of net photosynthesis with predicted rates that take into account limitations imposed by the kinetic properties of Rubisco indicate that direct inhibition of photosynthesis occurs at temperatures higher than about 30°C. Inhibition of photosynthesis by moderate heat stress (i.e. 30–42°C) is generally attributed to reduced rates of RuBP regeneration caused by disruption of electron transport activity, and specifically inactivation of the oxygen evolving enzymes of photosystem II. However, measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and metabolite levels at air-levels of CO2 indicate that electron transport activity is not limiting at temperatures that inhibit CO2 fixation. Instead, recent evidence shows that inhibition of net photosynthesis correlates with a decrease in the activation state of Rubisco in both C3 and C4 plants and that this decrease in the amount of active Rubisco can fully account for the temperature response of net photosynthesis. Biochemically, the decrease in Rubisco activation can be attributed to: (1) more rapid de-activation of Rubisco caused by a faster rate of dead-end product formation; and (2) slower re-activation of Rubisco by activase. The net result is that as temperature increases activase becomes less effective in keeping Rubisco catalytically competent. In this opinionated review, we discuss how these processes limit photosynthetic performance under moderate heat stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ribonucleases (RNases) degrade RNA and exert a major influence on gene expression during development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. RNase activity typically increases in response to pathogen attack, wounding and phosphate (Pi) deficiency. Activity also increases during senescence and other programmed cell death processes. The air pollutant ozone (O3) often induces injury and accelerated senescence in many plants, but the biochemical mechanisms involved in these responses remain unclear. The objective of this study was to determine whether RNase activity and isozyme expression was stimulated in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) flag leaves following treatment with O3. Plants were treated in open-top chambers with charcoal-filtered air (27 nmol O3 mol−1) (control) or non-filtered air plus O3 (90 nmol O3 mol−1) (O3) from seedling to reproductive stage. After exposure for 56 days, RNase activity was 2.1 times higher in flag leaf tissues from an O3-sensitive cultivar in the O3 treatment compared with the control, which generally coincided with foliar injury and lower soluble protein concentration, but not soluble leaf [Pi]. Soluble [Pi] in leaf tissue extracts from the O3 and control treatments was not significantly different. RNase activity gels indicated the presence of three major RNases and two nucleases, and their expression was enhanced by the O3 treatment. Isozymes stimulated in the O3 treatment were also stimulated in naturally senescent flag leaf tissues from plants in the control. However, soluble [Pi] in extracts from naturally senescent flag leaves was 50% lower than that found in green flag leaves in the control treatment. Thus, senescence-like pathological responses induced by O3 were accompanied by increased RNase and nuclease activities that also were observed in naturally senescent leaves. However, [Pi] in the leaf tissue samples suggested that O3-induced injury and accelerated senescence was atypical of normal senescence processes in that Pi export was not observed in O3-treated plants.

AB  - Thamnurgus euphorbiae overwinters as adults in dry stems of Euphorbia characias until the end of March before exiting through circular holes cut with their mandibles. Females and males appeared in the field at the same time, and the first pairs were observed on 28 March on new stems of E. characias having the open-flower at the beginning of its development. Throughout the rest of April it was possible to find and collect the fairly abundant adults. Mating occurs on new stems of the host plant and females walk up towards the top of the stem and start to mine the centre of it in order to penetrate. Oviposition occurs in new stems and eggs are laid singly along the interior of the stem; females laid 35–85 eggs. Upon hatching, larvae started feeding on vascular bundles and the inner cortex. There are three larval instars, and pupation occurred in the stem of the host plant; this insect is univoltine. Thamnurgus euphorbiae has been accepted by the Technical Advisory Group for Biological Control Agents of Weeds for release as a biological control agent of leafy spurge in the US. Prior to this study the biology of T. euphorbiae was unknown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Conventional water quality standards have been successful in reducing the concentration of toxic substances in US waters. However, conventional standards are based on simple thresholds and are therefore poorly structured to address human-caused imbalances in dynamic, natural water quality parameters, such as nutrients, sediment, and temperature. A more applicable type of water quality standard---a "regime standard"-would describe desirable distributions of conditions over space and time within a stream network. By mandating the protection and restoration of the aquatic ecosystem dynamics that are required to support beneficial uses in streams, well-designed regime standards would facilitate more effective strategies for management of natural water quality parameters.

AB  - The great challenge now facing forest ecosystem scientists and managers is to address the need for multiple ecosystem services over relatively large spatial and temporal scales (e.g., whole national forests over 50- to 100-year time frames). Here we present a new conceptual model for the study of forest ecosystems that aids in the analysis of factors that influence ecosystem structure, function, and services. We then go on to show how this model has been applied to the long-term Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study. Our new model has three main components: (1) controllers, (2) ecosystem pattern and process, and (3) ecosystem functions and services. The controllers are the factors that drive ecosystem pattern and process; we split them into two groups, state factors and variable-stochastic factors. This new model will help to ensure a comprehensive approach to forest ecosystem analysis and will facilitate interactions of research with policy and management at many locations.

AB  - We compared the historic and current geographical ranges of 43 North American carnivores and ungulates to identify large-scale patterns in range contractions and expansions. Seventeen of the species had experienced range contractions over more than 20% of their historic range. In areas of higher human influence, species were more likely to contract and less likely to persist. Species richness had also declined considerably since historic times. The temperate grasslands and temperate broadleaf-mixed forest biomes lost the highest average number of species, while the boreal forest and tundra showed fewer numbers of species lost. Species contractions were a result of Euro-American settlement and postsettlement development in North America. These effects have been widespread and indicate a rapid collapse of species distributions over the course of only I to 2 centuries. The results of this study can be used to improve scientists' knowledge of historical reference conditions and to provide input for wildlife reintroductions and for the creation of wildlife reserves.

AB  - k.m. bischoff, t.s. edrington, t.r. callaway, k.j. genovese and d.j. nisbet. 2004. To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella isolated from a central Texas dairy calf farm that raises animals for dairy-beef production. Salmonella isolates collected from 50 faecal samples were characterized for susceptibility to 20 antimicrobial agents. Seventy per cent of the faecal samples (35 of 50) tested positive for Salmonella, and high rates of resistance to the following drugs that are commonly used for treatment of bacterial enteritis in livestock were observed: ampicillin (88%), apramycin (83%), neomycin (86%), spectinomycin (91%) and oxytetracycline (90%). No resistance to the fluoroquinolone antibiotics was observed. The most prevalent Salmonella serotype was Kinshasha (22 of 35 samples), followed by Agona (4 of 35), Newport (3 of 35), Infantis (2 of 35), Montevideo (2 of 35), Lille (1 of 35) and Newington (1 of 35). The Kinshasa, Agona, Newport and Infantis serotypes all displayed resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphamethoxazole and tetracycline, and the penta-resistance phenotype was transferable to an Escherichia coli recipient strain. Multi-drug resistant Salmonella in dairy calves pose a costly animal health problem and a potential risk to the public health. This study emphasizes the need for alternative, non-antimicrobial intervention strategies for the control of zoonotic pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genetic variation fuels selective change in natural and captive populations. In establishing a broodstock for selective improvement, the level of genetic diversity is an important consideration because it provides an indication of the scope for selective progress. Three domesticated strains of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), were examined at nine polymorphic microsatellite loci to assess detectable levels of allelic diversity and heterozygosity within and differentiation among the strains. A total of 126 alleles were observed to segregate into unique multilocus genotypes for each of the 152 individuals assayed. There was an average heterozygosity of 71.5% at these nine loci, and an average of 14 alleles at a locus. Each locus was represented by alleles unique to at least two of the three strains. Deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations of genotype frequencies were detected in each strain. Subsequent analysis indicated sub-structuring within strains leading to Wahlund effects that caused these deviations. Significant differences in genotype frequencies and pairwise FST values demonstrated that all strains were unique. The overall FST of 0.089 provides additional evidence of unique genetic diversity present in each strain, and agrees well with the degree of genetic variation found in rainbow trout across broad geographical ranges. The genetic diversity contributed by each population suggests that there is greater scope for selective improvement of numerous traits within a synthetic strain combining these three strains than within any individual strain.

AB  - Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration can increase biomass production and alter tissue composition. Shifts in both quantity and quality of crop residue may alter carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics and management considerations in future CO2-enriched agroecosystems. This study was conducted to determine decomposition rates of the legume soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and nonlegume grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] residue produced under two levels of atmospheric CO2 (ambient and twice ambient) on a Blanton loamy sand (loamy siliceous, thermic, Grossarenic Paleudults) in Auburn, Alabama, USA, managed using no-till practices. At maturity, harvested plants were separated into component parts for dry weight determination and tissue analysis. Mass, C, and N losses from residues were determined using the mesh bag method. Biomass production was significantly greater for soybean compared to sorghum and for elevated versus ambient CO2-grown plants. The CO2 level had little affect on the C/N ratio of residue (probably because the tissue used was senesced). Elevated CO2 concentration did not affect percent residue recovery; however, greater biomass production observed under elevated CO2 resulted in more residue and C remaining after overwintering. The higher total N content of soybean residue, particularly when grown under elevated CO2, indicated more N may be available to a following crop with lower N inputs required. Results suggest that in a high CO2 environment, greater amounts of residue may increase soil C and ground cover, which may enhance soil water storage, improve soil physical properties, and reduce erosion losses.

AB  - Algorithms that establish relationships between variables obtained through remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies are needed to allow the scaling up of site-specific CO2 flux measurements to regional levels. We obtained Bowen ratio–energy balance (BREB) flux tower measurements during the growing seasons of 1998–2000 above a grassland steppe in Kazakhstan. These BREB data were analyzed using ecosystem light–curve equations to quantify 10-day CO2 fluxes associated with gross primary production (GPP) and total respiration (R). Remotely sensed, temporally smoothed normalized difference vegetation index (NDVIsm) and environmental variables were used to develop multiple regression models for the mapping of 10-day CO2 fluxes for the Kazakh steppe. Ten-day GPP was estimated (R2 = 0.72) by day of year (DOY) and NDVIsm, and 10-day R was estimated (R2 = 0.48) with the estimated GPP and estimated 10-day photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Regression tree analysis estimated 10-day PAR from latitude, NDVIsm, DOY, and precipitation (R2 = 0.81). Fivefold cross-validation indicated that these algorithms were reasonably robust. GPP, R, and resulting net ecosystem exchange (NEE) were mapped for the Kazakh steppe grassland every 10 days and summed to produce regional growing season estimates of GPP, R, and NEE. Estimates of 10-day NEE agreed well with BREB observations in 2000, showing a slight underestimation in the late summer. Growing season (May to October) mean NEE for Kazakh steppe grasslands was 1.27 Mg C/ha in 2000. Winter flux data were collected during the winter of 2001–2002 and are being analyzed to close the annual carbon budget for the Kazakh steppe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We sought to identify factors associated with adult or child hunger. Methods. Low-income housed and homeless mothers were interviewed about socioeconomic, psychosocial, health, and food sufficiency information. Multinomial logistic regression produced models predicting adult or child hunger. Results. Predictors of adult hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation and current parenting difficulties, or "hassles." Risk factors for child hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation, housing subsidies, brief local residence, having more or older children, and substandard housing. Conclusions. This study found that the odds of hunger, although affected by resource constraints in low-income female-headed families, were also worsened by mothers' poor physical and mental health. Eliminating hunger thus may require broader interventions than food programs. (Am J Public Health. 2004;94:109-115) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - OBJECTIVE. The objectives of this study were to (1) compare the cost of medical evaluation for children with functional abdominal pain or irritable bowel syndrome brought to a pediatric gastroenterologist versus children who remained in the care of their pediatrician, (2) compare symptom characteristics for the children in primary versus tertiary care, and (3) examine if symptom characteristics predicted the cost of medical evaluation. METHODS. Eighty-nine children aged 7 to 10 years with functional abdominal pain or irritable bowel. syndrome seen by a gastroenterologist (n = 46) or seen only by a pediatrician (n = 43) completed daily pain and stool diaries for 2 weeks. Mothers provided retrospective reports of their children's symptoms in the previous year. Cost of medical evaluation was calculated via chart review of diagnostic tests and application of prices as if the patients were self-pay. RESULTS. Child-reported diary data reflected' no significant group differences with respect to pain, interference with activities, or stool characteristics. In contrast, mothers of children evaluated by a gastroenterologist viewed their children as having higher maximum pain intensity in the previous year. Excluding endoscopy costs, cost of medical evaluation was fivefold higher for children evaluated by a gastroenterologist, with higher cost across blood work, stool studies, breath testing, and diagnostic imaging. Symptom characteristics did not predict cost of care for either group. CONCLUSIONS. Despite the lack of difference in symptom characteristics between children in primary and, tertiary care, a notable differential in cost of evaluation exists in accordance with level of care. Symptom characteristics do not seem to drive diagnostic evaluation in either primary or tertiary care. Given the lack of differences in child-reported' symptoms and the maternal perspective that children evaluated by a gastroenterologist had more severe pain, we speculate. that parent perception of child symptoms may be a primary factor in seeking tertiary care.

AB  - We present an Arabidopsis thaliana full-length transcription factor resource of 92% of root stele-expressed transcription factors and 74.5% of root-expressed transcription factors. We demonstrate its use with enhanced yeast one-hybrid (eY1H) screening for rapid, systematic mapping of plant transcription factor-promoter interactions. We identified 158 interactions with 13 stele-expressed promoters, many of which occur physically or are regulatory in planta. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In the production of chitosan employing Absidia coerulea CTCC AF 93105, effect of different nitrogen sources in the medium containing soybean pomace, (NH4)2SO4, NaNO3, urea, or (NH4)2CO3 on cell dry weight, chitosan molecular weight, chitosan production, and fermentation time for the maximum production of chitosan was investigated. Cell dry weight and the production of chitosan were greater with soybean pomace compared those with other nitrogen sources. The highest cell dry weight and production of chitosan by A. coerulea CTCC AF 93105 was 21.38gL−1 and 5.88gL−1, respectively, with soybean pomace whereas those with (NH4)2SO4 was 9.38gL−1 and 3.14gL−1, respectively. Chitosan molecular weight was also affected by the nitrogen source in the medium and was higher with soybean pomace than that with any other nitrogen sources. The optimum fermentation time for chitosan production was also affected by the nitrogen source in the medium. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is a causative agent for human food poisoning cases throughout the world. The ovaries and the oviducts of the laying hens are the major sites of SE colonization from which vertical transmission to eggs occurs. In this study, Salmonella -induced changes in T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and macrophages in the ovaries and oviducts were assessed after primary and secondary experimental inoculations of laying hen with SE. Statistically significant increases in the numbers of T cells (both CD4 + and CD8 + ) and macrophages were observed 7 to 14 days after primary inoculation, followed by a peak in B-cell numbers from the 14th day post-primary inoculation onwards in the secretory areas of the oviducts. The peak in lymphocyte numbers immediately preceded a decline in the rate of SE recovery from the reproductive tract beginning at day 14. The correlation of decreased Salmonella recovery with elevated lymphocyte and macrophage numbers strongly suggests that local cell-mediated immunity is involved in controlling SE injection in the ovaries and oviducts.

AB  - Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis (SE) es el agente causal de intoxicaciones alimentarias en la especie humana en todo el mundo. Los ovarios y los oviductos de las gallinas ponedoras son los principales puntos de colonización con SE desde los cuales tiene lugar la transmisión vertical a los huevos. En este estudio se evaluaron los cambios inducidos por Salmonella en los linfocitos T, B y macrófagos en los ovarios y los oviductos tras inoculaciones experimentales primarias y secundarias con SE en gallinas ponedoras. Se observaron incrementos estadísticamente significativos de los números de células T (tanto CD4 como CD8) y macrófagos a los 7 y 14 días tras la inoculación primaria seguido de un pico en el número de células B del catorceavo día tras la inoculación primaria en adelante, en las áreas secretoras de los oviductos. El pico en el número de linfocitos precedió de forma inmediata una disminución en la proporción de SE recuperadas del tracto reproductor a partir del día 14. La correlación entre la disminución de la recuperación de Salmonella y el incremento del número de linfocitos y macrófagos sugiere claramente que la inmunidad local se encuentra involucrada en el control de la infección por SE en los ovarios y oviductos.

Les sites majeurs de la colonisation de SE sont les ovaires et les oviductes des poules pondeuses à partir desquels se produit la transmission verticale par les œufs. Dans cette étude, les changements, induits par Salmonella , au niveau des lymphocytes T, des lymphocytes B et des macrophages des ovaires et des oviductes sont évalués après une première et une seconde inoculations expérimentales des poules pondeuses avec SE. Des augmentations significatives statistiquement concernant le nombre de cellules T (CD4+ et CD8+) et des macrophages ont été observés du 7 ème au 14 ème jour après la première inoculation, suivies par un pic du nombre de cellules B à partir du 14 ème jour après la première inoculation au niveau des zones sécrétrices des oviductes. Le pic du nombre de lymphocytes précède immédiatement un déclin du taux de réisolement de SE à partir de l'appareil reproducteur à partir du 14 ème jour. La corrélation entre la diminution des isolements de SE et le nombre élevé de lymphocytes et de macrophages suggère fortement que l'immunité cellulaire locale est impliquée dans le contrôle de l'infection à SE des ovaires et oviductes.

AB  - Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis (SE) ist eine Ursache für die weltweit vorkommenden Lebensmittelvergiftungen. Die Ovarien und Ovidukte von Legehennen sind die hauptsächlichen Vermehrungsorte von SE, was zu vertikaler Übertragung auf das Ei führt. In dieser Studie wurden nach primärer und sekundärer experimenteller Infektion von Legehennen mit SE Salmonella -induzierte Veränderungen bei den T- und B-Lymphozyten sowie Makrophagen in den Eierstöcken und Eileitern untersucht. Statistisch signifikante Zunahmen in der Anzahl der T-Lymphozyten (CD4+ und CD8+) und der Makrophagen wurden am 7. und 14. Tag nach der Erstinokultion beobachtet, gefolgt von einem Peak in der B-Zellzahl in den sekretorischen Bereichen der Ovidukte ab dem 14. Tag nach der Erstinokulation. Dem Peak in der Lymphozytenzahl folgte unmittelbar ein Rückgang der SE-Isolierungsrate. Die erhöhten Lymphozyten- und Makrophagenzahlen machen deutlich, dass die lokale zellvermittelte Immunität bei der Kontrolle der SE-Infektion in den Ovarien und Ovidukten beteiligt ist.

AB  - Sunshine bass, a hybrid of female white bass Morone chrysops (Rafinesque) and male striped bass M. saxatilis (Walbaum), fingerling production occurs almost exclusively in ponds. To increase production and maintain year-round production in temperate climates, indoor tank culture is required. While tank production of fingerlings has been demonstrated, little is known about feeding requirements. Sunshine bass larvae, stocked at 75 L−1 in 100 L of brackish water, were fed sequentially with rotifers Brachionus plicatilis cultured with a Nannochloropis algae paste and enriched with highly unsaturated fatty acids, decapsulated Artemia nauplii, and a microencapsulated commercial diet. The larvae in one treatment (three replicates) were initially fed rotifers at a daily rate of 20 mL−1, then nauplii at an initial rate of 2 mL−1, and then the commercial diet at 1 g. Larvae in two other treatments received two and three times as much food daily. The highest feeding rate resulted in a survival (52.9%) that was significantly higher than the survival rate (22.4%) of larvae fed the least. The total biomass produced was the highest in the treatment receiving the most food. The lowest feeding rate produced the least fish, but they were the heaviest. The intermediate feeding rate produced the shortest fish (11.3 mm). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study relates preharvest and harvest practises to postharvest quality of maize in Benin, West Africa. Fungal infection and aflatoxin levels were evaluated in 300 farmers’ stores in four agro-ecological zones over 2 years (1993–1995), at the beginning of storage (sample A) and 6 months later (sample B). Aspergillus flavus infected 10–20% of the kernels in sample A (1993–1994). In sample B, 54–79% of the kernels were infected with A. flavus. In 1994–1995, A. flavus infection was higher in sample A (27–47%) than B (8–26%). Fusarium species were found in 38–58% of the kernels in sample A in both years, but decreased slightly to 29–51% in sample B. Significant agroecozonal effects existed within sampling, but were not consistent between samplings and years. Of the total number of samples collected (744), 38.8% were found to be aflatoxin-positive, with an average of 105 parts per billion (ppb) and 60% of the aflatoxin-positive samples having a contamination approximately 20 ppb, the intervention level recommended by the World Health Organization. Factors associated with increased aflatoxin were: planting local maize varieties in southern Benin, intercropping with cowpea, groundnut, or cassava, use of urea-fertilizer, damage to maize in the field, prolonged harvesting, long drying periods in the field, and winnowing. Practices that reduced aflatoxin contamination were: planting improved varieties in northern Benin, mixed cropping with vegetables, use of NPK-fertilizer, drying of harvested cobs for 60–90 days, drying ears without the husk, sorting out of poor quality ears.

AB  - Most commonly used hyperaccumulator plants for phytoextraction of metals evolved on soils where moisture is limited throughout much of the year. As these plant species are commercialized for use, they are frequently moved from the point of evolution to locations where environmental conditions may be significantly different. Greatest among these potential differences is soil moisture. The objective of this study was therefore to determine whether these plants could grow in soils with much higher soil moisture and whether they would continue to hyperaccumulate metals as soils approach saturation. We examined extractable soil metal concentrations, plant growth, and metal accumulation for the Ni hyperaccumulators, Alyssum murale and Berkheya coddii and the Zn hyperaccumulators Thlaspi caerulescens cultivars AB300 and AB336. Non-hyperaccumulating control species for each were also examined. In general, extractable soil concentrations of Ni decreased with increasing soil moisture content. Few significant effects related to Zn extractability were observed for any of the soil moisture treatments. The biomass of all tested species was generally greater at higher soil moisture and inhibited at low soil moisture. Further, plants accumulated large amounts of metals from soil at higher soil moisture. Highest foliar concentrations of Zn or Ni were found at the two highest WHCs of 80 and 100%. These results show that hyperaccumulators grow well under conditions of high soil moisture content and that they continue to hyperaccumulate metals. Thus, growing Thlaspi, Alyssum, and Berkheya for commercial phytoextraction under nonnative conditions is appropriate and suggests that this technology may be applied to a wide and diverse range of soil types, climatic conditions, and irrigation regimes.

AB  - Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis interacts with macrophages and epithelial cells in the alveolar space of the lung, where it is able to invade and replicate in both cell types. M. tuberculosis -associated cytotoxicity to these cells has been well documented, but the mechanisms of host cell death are not well understood. We examined the induction of apoptosis and necrosis of human macrophages (U937) and type II alveolar epithelial cells (A549) by virulent (H37Rv) and attenuated (H37Ra) M. tuberculosis strains. Apoptosis was determined by both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay , whereas necrosis was evaluated by the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Both virulent and attenuated M. tuberculosis induced apoptosis in macrophages; however, the attenuated strain resulted in significantly more apoptosis than the virulent strain after 5 days of infection. In contrast, cytotoxicity of alveolar cells was the result of necrosis, but not apoptosis. Although infection with M. tuberculosis strains resulted in apoptosis of 14% of the cells on the monolayer, cell death associated with necrosis was observed in 59% of alveolar epithelial cells after 5 days of infection. Infection with M. tuberculosis suppressed apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells induced by the kinase inhibitor, staurosporine. Because our findings suggest that M. tuberculosis can modulate the apoptotic response of macrophages and epithelial cells, we carried out an apoptosis pathway-specific cDNA microarray analysis of human macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells. Whereas the inhibitors of apoptosis, bcl-2 and Rb , were upregulated over 2.5-fold in infected (48 h) alveolar epithelial cells, the proapoptotic genes, bad and bax , were downregulated. The opposite was observed when U937 macrophages were infected with M. tuberculosis . Upon infection of alveolar epithelial cells with M. tuberculosis , the generation of apoptosis, as determined by the expression of caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-10, was inhibited. Inhibition of replication of intracellular bacteria resulted in an increase in apoptosis in both cell types. Our results showed that the differential induction of apoptosis between macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells represents specific strategies of M. tuberculosis for survival in the host.

AB  - Summary Researchers are beginning to understand how some plant genotypes can maintain reasonable growth and yields under low soil Zn, a trait termed zinc efficiency (ZE). Several studies have shown no correlation between ZE and root Zn uptake, Zn translocation to shoot, or shoot Zn accumulation. Furthermore, it has not been possible to conclusively link differences in leaf subcellular Zn compartmentation with ZE. However, biochemical Zn utilization, including the ability to maintain the activity of Zn requiring enzymes in response to Zn deficiency may be a key component of ZE. The next logical step in investigations of this trait is research on the genetic and molecular basis for ZE, in order to better understand the relationship between Zn utilization and ZE, and to identify the gene(s) controlling ZE. Progress in this research area could provide the knowledge to facilitate the engineering of Zn-efficient plant varieties, which could help both crop production on marginal soils as well as possibly improve the micronutrient density of food crops to help address significant human nutrition problems related to micronutrient deficiency.

AB  - ABSTRACT The hydraulic limitation hypothesis proposes that (1) reduced growth in taller trees is caused by decreased photosynthesis resulting from a decrease in hydraulic conductance promoted by a longer root-to-leaf flow path, and (2) this mechanism reduces stand productivity after canopy closure. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the physiology of 7 m (1 year) and 26 m (5 year) Eucalyptus saligna plantations where above-ground productivity for the 26 m trees was approximately 69% of that for the 7 m trees, and water and nutrients were not limiting. The study compared whole tree physiology [water flux (Q l ), average crown conductance (G T ), crown hydraulic conductance per unit leaf area (K L ), carbon isotope discrimination (δ 13 C)] and leaf physiology under light saturation (leaf water potential at the canopy top (Ψ LEAF ), photosynthetic capacity (A max ), and photosynthesis (A ) and stomatal conductance (g s ). K L was 50% lower in the taller trees, but whole tree Q l and G T were the same for the 7 m and 26 m trees. Photosynthetic capacity was the same for leaves at the canopy top, but δ 13 C was -1.8‰ lower for the 26 m trees. A and g s were either lower in the taller trees or equal, depending on sampling date. The taller trees maintained 0.8 MPa lower Ψ LEAF during the day and had 2.6-times higher sapwood area per unit leaf area; these factors compensated for the effects of increased height and gravitational potential in the taller trees to maintain higher G T . The hydraulic limitation hypothesis (as originally stated) failed to explain the sharp decline in net primary productivity after canopy closure in this study. The effects of increased height appear to be a universal hydraulic problem for trees, but compensation mitigated these effects and maintained Q l and G T in the present study. Compensation may induce other problems (such as lower Ψ LEAF or higher respiratory costs) that could reduce carbon gain or shift carbon allocation, and future studies of hydraulic limitation should consider compensation and associated carbon costs. In this study, the combination of similar G T and lower δ 13 C for the 26 m trees suggests that total crown photosynthesis was lower for the 26 m trees, perhaps a result of the lower Ψ LEAF .

AB  - Abstract Aims: To evaluate the suitability of using sterile water and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for preservation of bacteria pathogenic to plants or humans. Methods and Results: The stationary-phase bacterial cells collected from rich agar media were transferred to 10 ml of sterile water or PBS (pH 7·2) containing KH2 PO4 , 15·44 μ m; NaCl, 1·55 mm; Na2 HPO4 , 27·09 μ m in a screw-cap tube. The tubes were sealed with parafilm membranes and stored in the dark and at room temperature. Almost all the bacteria tested (148 strains), including Pseudomonas fluorescens , P. viridiflava , Erwinia spp., Xanthomonas campestris , Cytophaga johnsonae , Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica , Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus , survived in water for at least several months and up to 16 years. A vast majority of the Gram-negative bacteria tested survived equally well in water and in PBS for at least 30 weeks. However, the populations of two Gram-positive bacteria [G(+)], L. monocytogenes and Staph. aureus , declined more rapidly in water than in PBS. Conclusions: Plant- and human-pathogenic bacteria can be preserved in pure water or PBS for several years. G(+) bacteria appear to survive better in PBS than in water. Significance and Impact of the Study: The method described here is a simple and economical means for preservation of bacterial cultures, which is especially useful for laboratories not equipped with the lyophilizer or ultra-low freezer. Long-term survival of food-borne pathogens in water underlines the importance of water as a potential vehicle for transmitting the diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Aims: To determine whether lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used in inoculants for silage can survive in rumen fluid (RF), and to identify those that survive best. Methods and Results: Twelve commercial silage inoculants were added at 107 CFU ml-1 to strained RF (SRF) taken from dairy cows, with and without 5 g l-1 glucose and incubated in vitro at 39°C. Changes in pH, LAB numbers and fermentation products were monitored for 72 h. In the inoculated RF with glucose, the pH decreased and numbers of LAB increased. The inoculants varied with regard to their effect on pH change and growth. In the SRF, both with and without glucose, the pH values of the inoculated samples were generally higher than those of the uninoculated controls throughout most of the incubation period. This may suggest a positive effect on the rumen environment. Conclusions: LAB used in silage inoculants can survive in RF in vitro . Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first step in studying the probiotic potential of silage LAB inoculants for dairy cattle. The survival of these LAB in RF may enable them to interact with rumen microorganisms and to affect rumen functionality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary The acidic soils of temperate forests and some pastures on former forest land characteristically contain large amounts of aluminium and hydrogen ions and small amounts of calcium and magnesium ions. The relative importance of these potential toxicity factors are assessed from published data from soils collected in the United States and Europe. Activities of ions in the soil solutions and at the surfaces of root-cell plasma membranes were computed with electrostatic models. Activities of Al3+ in soil solutions ({Al3+ }) peaked at pH 4.1, and Al3+ activities at the surface of the plasma membrane ({Al3+ }0 ) achieved a broad maximum between pH 4.1 and 4.8; thus, Al3+ intoxication is likely to be more severe in soils at pH 4.1 than in more acidic ones. Intoxication (assessed by root elongation) correlated somewhat ambiguously with ion activities, but Al3+ - and H+ -induced depletion of Ca2+ and Mg2+ , or both, from the cell surface appears to play a role in toxicity. By contrast, experiments in solution culture, where intercorrelation among {Al3+ }, {H+ }, and {Ca2+ } could be avoided, clearly demonstrated the following extrinsic and intrinsic effects. 1 The ions Al3+ and H+ are intrinsic toxicants. 2 They are also extrinsic toxicants because of the electrostatic displacement of Ca2+ from the surface of the plasma membrane. 3 They are extrinsic ameliorants because each electrostatically displaces the other from the surface of the plasma membrane. 4 The ion Ca2+ is an extrinsic ameliorant because of the electrostatic displacement of Al3+ and H+ from the surface of the plasma membrane. 5 It is an intrinsic ameliorant of intrinsic H+ toxicity, but not intrinsic Al3+ toxicity. 6 It meets an intrinsic requirement. 7 The ion Mg2+ resembles Ca2+ in item 4 but not items 5 and 6 in short-term cultures. In acidic soils, Al3+ may prevent H+ from becoming an intrinsic toxicant (item 3) and may induce an insufficiency of Ca2+ and Mg2+ (item 2). These findings have implications for the mechanisms by which woodland plants tolerate very acidic soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract We studied soil organic carbon (C) chemistry at the mountain birch forest-tundra ecotone in three regions of the Fennoscandian mountain range with comparable vegetation cover but contrasting degrees of continentality and latitude. The aim of the study was to identify functional compound classes and their relationships to decomposition and spatial variation across the ecotone and latitudinal gradient. Solid-state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS 13 C NMR) was used to identify seven functional groups of soil organic C: alkyls , N-alkyls , O-alkyls , acetals , aromatics , phenolics and carboxyls . N-alkyls , O-alkyls and acetals are generally considered labile substrates for a large number of saprotrophic fungi and bacteria, whilst phenolics and aromatics are mainly decomposed by lignolytic organisms and contribute to the formation of soil organic matter together with aliphatic alkyls and carboxyls . All soils contained a similar proportional distribution of functional groups, although relatively high amounts of N-alkyls , O-alkyls and acetals were present in comparison to earlier published studies, suggesting that large amounts of soil C were potentially vulnerable to microbial degradation. Soil organic matter composition was different at the most southerly site (Dovrefjell, Norway), compared with the two more northerly sites (Abisko, Sweden, and Joatka, Norway), with higher concentrations of aromatics and phenolics , as well as pronounced differences in alkyl concentrations between forest and tundra soils. Clear differences between mountain birch forest and tundra heath soil was noted, with generally higher concentrations of labile carbon present in tundra soils. We conclude that, although mesic soils around the forest-tundra ecotone in Fennoscandia are a potential source of C to the atmosphere in a changing environment, the response is likely to vary between comparable ecosystems in relation to latitude and continentality as...

AB  - Abstract The effects of fire on soil-surface carbon dioxide (CO2 ) efflux, F S , and microbial biomass carbon, C mic , were studied in a wildland setting by examining 13-year-old postfire stands of lodgepole pine differing in tree density (< 500 to > 500 000 trees ha-1 ) in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). In addition, young stands were compared to mature lodgepole pine stands (∼110-year-old) in order to estimate ecosystem recovery 13 years after a stand replacing fire. Growing season F S increased with tree density in young stands (1.0 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in low-density stands, 1.8 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in moderate-density stands and 2.1 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in high-density stands) and with stand age (2.7 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 in mature stands). Microbial biomass carbon in young stands did not differ with tree density and ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 mg C g-1 dry soil over the growing season; C mic was significantly greater in mature stands (0.5–0.8 mg C g-1 dry soil). Soil-surface CO2 efflux in young stands was correlated with biotic variables (above-ground, below-ground and microbial biomass), but not with abiotic variables (litter and mineral soil C and N content, bulk density and soil texture). Microbial biomass carbon was correlated with below-ground plant biomass and not with soil carbon and nitrogen, indicating that plant activity controls not only root respiration, but C mic pools and overall F S rates as well. These findings support recent studies that have demonstrated the prevailing importance of plants in controlling rates of F S and suggest that decomposition of older, recalcitrant soil C pools in this ecosystem is relatively unimportant 13 years after a stand replacing fire....

AB  - Abstract Fish which survive a sublethal ichthyophthiriasis acquire protective immunity against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet (Ich). This study evaluated the protective effect of cutaneous antibody secreted by channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), immune to Ich on cohabited non-immune catfish. Non-immune and immune fish controls were separately maintained and infected with theronts. The Ich infection was assessed by scoring 0, <50, 50–100, and >100 trophonts fish-1 at 5 days post-infection. The results of infection showed that cohabited fish at the ratio of 15 non-immune to two immune fish had <50 trophonts fish-1 . Eighty per cent of the cohabited fish at the ratio of 10 non-immune to two immune fish showed 0 or <50 trophonts fish-1 . The 76% of control non-immune fish had more than 100 trophonts fish-1 . The control immune fish had 0 trophonts fish-1 . Anti-Ich antibody was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in water samples taken from tanks containing immune fish after the water samples were concentrated 40-fold. The study suggests that immune fish cohabited with non-immune fish may protect non-immune fish against Ich infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 1991, about 70 years after construction, the 16‐km Lake McDonald section of the Going‐to‐the‐Sun Road in Glacier National Park was rebuilt. The road, which is at the base of steep north‐west‐facing slopes, follows the 975 m contour above Lake McDonald within forests originating after wildfires. Tree composition is mostly western red cedar (Thuja plicata Don ex D. Don) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) with a minor component of six other conifer species. Trees were expected to disperse enough seeds to naturally regenerate road cuts on four land‐types with developed soils, but not on the fifth land‐type with rock and scree. From 1987 to 1995, red cedar and hemlock dispersed 4466 potentially viable (filled) seeds m−2 on cut slopes while other species added 74 filled seeds m−2. From 1991 to 1995, after reconstruction, an average of 3294 filled red cedar seeds fell m−2, in addition to 511 western hemlock m−2 and 61 m−2 for six other species. On cut slopes from 1992 to 1998, of land‐types with developed soils, seeds germinated after snowmelt, usually from early May until the surface dried. Almost no seeds germinated and no seedlings survived on the rock/scree land‐type. Due to the harsh environment on cut slopes, most seedlings died. In spring 1999, red cedar and hemlock seedlings were small and inconspicuous and required an average of 312 and 173 filled seeds for each surviving seedling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Plant species richness influences primary productivity via mechanisms that (1) favour species with particular traits (selection effect) and (2) promote niche differentiation between species (complementarity). Influences of species evenness, plant density and other properties of plant communities on productivity are poorly defined, but may depend on whether selection or complementarity prevails in species mixtures. We predicted that selection effects are insensitive to species evenness but increase with plant density, and that the converse is true for complementarity. To test predictions, we grew three species of annuals in monocultures and in three-species mixtures in which evenness of established plants was varied at each of three plant densities in a cultivated field in Texas, USA. Above-ground biomass was smaller in mixtures than expected from monocultures because of negative ‘complementarity’ and a negative selection effect. Neither selection nor complementarity varied with species evenness, but selection effects increased at the greatest plant density as predicted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Aims: To investigate and prevent the undesirable effect of native bacteria and alfalfa seed homogenates on detection of Salmonell a in alfalfa seeds by indicator agar media and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods and Results: The relative sensitivity of five indicator agar media, including modified semisolid RV (MSRV), xylose-lysine-Tergitol 4 (XLT4), Hektoen enteric agar (HEA), brilliant green agar (BGA) and bismuth sulphite agar (BSA), for detection of Salmonella in the presence of a large number of native bacteria from alfalfa seeds was examined. The detection limit as measured by the ratio between the numbers of native bacteria and Salmonella was estimated to be 106 to 1 for MSRV and 103 to 1 for XLT4, HEA, BGA or BSA. Presence of alfalfa seed homogenates markedly reduced the sensitivity of Salmonella detection by PCR. The minimal number of Salmonella detectable by PCR was determined to be 1–10 and 100–1000 CFU in the absence and presence of seed homogenate, respectively. Application of anti-Salmonella immunomagnetic beads permitted detection of 2–5 CFU of heat-injured cells in 25 g of seeds within 24 h by PCR. Conclusions: The MSRV medium is more sensitive than other indicator agars for detecting a small number of motile Salmonella in samples containing a large number of native bacteria. Application of immunomagnetic beads eliminates the PCR-inhibitory activity of seed homogenates and improves the detection of Salmonella in inoculated seeds. Significance and Impact: The results generated from this study will aid the seed distributors, sprout growers and public health officials to identify and recall the Salmonella -contaminated seed lots to be used for sprout production.

AB  - Rhizopycnis vagum is a recently described coelomycetous fungus that contributes to vine decline of muskmelons in Honduras, Guatemala, Texas and California. This fungus has been associated with roots of muskmelon plants affected by vine decline in most Spanish muskmelon production areas. Isolates were collected from 1996 to 2000 and identified from their cultural and morphological characteristics and by sequencing the ITS region of the ribosomal coding nuclear DNA (rDNA) and phylogenetic analysis. A few isolates from muskmelon with growth characteristics similar to R. vagum were identified as Phoma terrestris . Watermelon, Cucurbita hybrids used as rootstocks for watermelon production, Amaranthus sp. and grapevine were also hosts for R. vagum . Based on disease reaction in muskmelon roots, the pathogenicity of 10 isolates of R. vagum from different hosts and geographical origins was verified. The fungus caused root discoloration, corky lesions, and eventually the presence of pink coloration on the roots. Rhizopycnis vagum appears to be a minor pathogen that contributes to muskmelon vine decline complex in Spain through infection of roots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During anaerobiosis there is an immediate repression of pre‐existing protein synthesis, with the concurrent initiation of a selective synthesis of approx. 20 proteins. Among these anaerobic proteins are enzymes involved in glycolysis and related processes. However, inducible genes that have different functions were also found; these may function in other, perhaps more long‐term, processes of adaptations to flooding, such as aerenchyma formation and root‐tip death. In this article we review our recent work on maize responses to flooding stress, which has addressed two questions: how are these gene expression changes initiated and how do they lead to adaptation to flooding stress? Our results indicate that an early rise in cytosolic Ca2+, as well as a quick establishment of ionic homeostasis, may be essential for the induction of adaptive changes at the cellular as well as organismal level.

AB  - Summary • Although histologically much simpler than higher plants, bryophytes display a considerable degree of tissue differentiation, notably in those groups that possess an internal system of specialized water-conducting cells (WCCs). Here, using a battery of monoclonal antibodies, we examined the distribution of cell wall polysaccharide and glycoprotein carbohydrate epitopes in the gametophyte of four hepatics and eight mosses, with special reference to water-conducting cells. • CCRC-M7, an antibody against an arabinogalactan epitope, gave a highly consistent and generally specific labelling of WCCs; more variable results were obtained with other antibodies. The labelling patterns indicate that bryophytes exhibit cell and tissue complexity with respect to cell wall components on a par with higher plants. • A remarkable diversity in the immunocytochemical characteristics of WCCs was observed not only when comparing major bryophyte groups but also within the relatively small and well-circumscribed moss order Polytrichales, indicating that the cell wall biochemistry of WCCs may have been finely tuned in response to specific evolutionary pressures. The immunocytochemical data strengthen the notion that the WCCs in Takakia are not homologous with the hydroids of other mosses nor with the WCCs in Haplomitrium and metzgerialean liverworts. • The presence of several carbohydrate epitopes in hydroid walls runs strongly counter to the notion that their maturation involves hydrolysis of noncellulosic polysaccharides.

AB  - 1. Two [[sup 14]C]-labelled brominated diphenyl ethers, 2,2′,4,4′,5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), were separately administered to the male Sprague-Dawley rat as a single oral dose (2.2mgkg[sup -1] body weight and 3.0mgkg[sup -1], respectively). 2. Very low [[sup 14]C] urine excretion was observed for both congeners (<1% of the dose), and cumulative biliary excretion was approximately 4% for BDE-99 and 9% for BDE-209. 3. More than 6% of the pooled urine from the BDE-99-treated rat was protein-bound to an 18-kDa protein characterized by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western immunoblot analysis as α[sub 2u]-globulin. Eighteen per cent of the radioactivity from the pooled urine from the BDE-209 treated rat was bound to albumin; no binding to α2u-globulin was detected. 4. In bile, 27-39% of the radioactivity from the BDE-99-dosed rat was bound to an unidentified 79-kDa protein, whereas essentially all (>87%) of the biliary radioactivity from BDE-209 was bound to the 79-kDa protein. Both parent BDE-99 and-209 and their metabolites were detected by thin layer chromatography in the extracted fraction of this bile protein. 5. By differential centrifugation, the subcellular localization of the [sup 14]C derived from each congener in selected tissues was quantified. The cytosolic [[sup 14]C] from livers of the BDE-209-treated rat was bound to a 14-kDa protein, which was characterized as a fatty acid-binding protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The forest canopy regulates the exchange of carbon, water and energy between the ecosystem and the atmosphere, and provides a habitat for a wide variety of species. Understanding canopy processes is important for modeling forest production and carbon sequestration, and for predicting the effects of global changes in climate and atmospheric chemistry on the functioning of forest ecosystems. The Canopy Processes Working Group of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations has provided a forum for researchers working on forest canopies for nearly 20 years, principally through international meetings held every 2–3 years. In this paper, I review the history of the Canopy Processes Group, show how the research focus has changed and broadened, and provide a brief overview of some of the problems that remain to be solved. These include the topic of our 2001 meeting (Linking the Complexity of Forest Canopies to Ecosystem and Landscape Function), integration of canopy and respiratory processes, carbon allocation, physiological changes with tree age, predicting the response of forests to global change, understanding the genetic control of canopy structure and function, and scaling ecophysiological processes and modeling. Determining how forests will respond to global change and understanding the physiology of forest production will require increased attention to canopy processes and an increased focus on the interactions of canopy processes with other components of the ecosystem.

AB  - Field studies have shown that the addition of Zn to Cd-containing soils can help reduce accumulation of Cd in crop plants. To understand the mechanisms involved, this study used 109 Cd and 65 Zn to examine the transport interactions of Zn and Cd at the root cell plasma membrane of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum ). Results showed that Cd2+ uptake was inhibited by Zn2+ and Zn2+ uptake was inhibited by Cd2+ . Concentration-dependent uptake of both Cd2+ and Zn2+ consisted of a combination of linear binding by cell walls and saturable, Michaelis-Menten influx across the plasma membrane. Saturable influx data from experiments with and without 10 µm concentrations of the corresponding inhibiting ion were converted to double reciprocal plots. The results revealed a competitive interaction between Cd2+ and Zn2+ , confirming that Cd2+ and Zn2+ share a common transport system at the root cell plasma membrane in both bread and durum wheat. The study suggests that breeding or agronomic strategies that aim to decrease Cd uptake or increase Zn uptake must take into account the potential accompanying change in transport of the competing ion.

AB  - A fuzzy decision analysis method for integrating ecological indicators was developed. This was a combination of a fuzzy ranking method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topography of the Mid-Atlantic region, we were able to point out areas that were in relatively poor condition and/or vulnerable to future deterioration. The method offered an easy and comprehensive way to combine the strengths of fuzzy set theory and the AHP for ecological assessment. Furthermore, the suggested method can serve as a building block for the evaluation of environmental policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aims: To evaluate genetic heterogeneity in the most common phage types of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. Methods and Results: A total of 233 isolates of Salm. Enteritidis from England, Northern Ireland, Spain, Hong Kong and the USA belonging to phage types (PT) 4 (n =88), PT7 (n =12), PT6 (n =72), PT8 (n =14), PT13a (n =29), PT29 (n =14) and PT34 (n =4) were characterized by Pst I-Sph I (PS) ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis after digestion of DNA with Xba I. PS ribotyping differentiated the isolates into 53 different PS types and PFGE showed 14 different macrorestriction profiles; with the combination of both methods, 73 combined types were identified. Some of these clones appeared to be present within several countries. Movement of foodstuffs, animals or people may have been involved in the spread of these strains. On the other hand, some clones were only found in specific locations. Conclusions: Several well defined clonal lines seem to co-exist within the different phage types included in this study, and a combined typing approach may constitute a useful tool for epidemiological investigations. Clustering analysis of ribotypes and PFGE types agree with previous studies and suggest that phage types that share receptor binding properties can be distinguished as two families: the PT4 family including PT7 and PT6, and the PT8 family including PT13a. The other phage types are difficult to place in a family unless the geographical site of isolation is known. Significance and Impact of the Study: This paper reports on an extensive assessment of the use of molecular tools for the study of the epidemiology of the enteric pathogen Salm . Enteritidis. It also gives new information regarding relationships among some common phage types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Passive immunization of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, was conducted to determine whether anti-Streptococcus iniae whole sera (ASI), heat inactivated anti-S . iniae whole sera (HIASI) and normal whole sera (NWS) were protective when intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected into tilapia. The ASI was produced in tilapia actively immunized (challenged) with virulent S. iniae by i.p. injection. An antibody response against S. iniae was demonstrated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and 18% of the immunized fish died because of the S. iniae infection. The actively immunized tilapia demonstrated a secondary antibody response and immunity to S. iniae after challenge with S. iniae by i.p. injection. Survival was 100% in the actively immunized fish. The NWS was obtained from tilapia free of ASI antibody and susceptible to S. iniae infection (40% mortality). In two separate experiments, significantly higher mortality was noted in tilapia passively immunized with NWS (33 and 53%) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (30 and 60%), in comparison with mortalities of 0 and 10% or 3.3 and 6.7% in the fish passively immunized with ASI or HIASI 14 days after S . iniae infection by i.p. injection (P = 0.0003 and 0.0023). Results suggest that immunity provided by ASI and HIASI was because of antibody against S. iniae . Inactivation of complement in the HIASI treatment further suggests that ASI antibody plays a primary role in immunity against S. iniae infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study determined whether cutaneous antibodies were present in the excised skin of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque, immune to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet (Ich). Theronts were immobilized on or near the excised skin from immune fish. The survival of immobilized theronts was significantly reduced after exposure for 8 h to the culture of excised skin from immune fish. Culture fluids from excised skin of immune fish immobilized theronts with a peak in the immobilization titre at 24 h post-exposure. Immobility of theronts in the culture fluid from immune skin was removed after immunoabsorption with theronts. Indirect immunofluorescent staining of theronts treated with culture fluid from excised skin of immune fish revealed strong and uniform fluorescence on the cilia and cell surface of theronts. Western blot analysis of the culture fluid from immune fish revealed a 70-kDa band which corresponded to the molecular weight of catfish immunoglobulin heavy chain. The results of this study show that cutaneous antibodies to Ich theronts were present in and released from the excised skin from fish immune to Ich. Immobilization and killing of the theronts are two characteristics of the antibody response that appear to prevent the successful invasion of theronts into excised skin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We measured serum levels of 11 pesticide residues and metabolites in 85 rural-dwelling persons. In general, the serum levels increased with age, with males having slightly higher levels than females. Consumption of eggs from home-raised hens contributed substantially to increased serum concentrations of trans-nonachlor, heptachlor epoxide, and oxychlordane; consumption of home-grown root vegetables likewise contributed to increased serum concentrations of trans-nonachlor and oxychlordane. Health risks, if any, that may be attributable to these "background" levels of exposure remain to be fully characterized in this, and all other, affected populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Light and transmission electron microscopy of phloem sieve-tube elements, companion cells, and parenchymal cells in thin and ultrathin sections of small and medium rachises and small, medium and large leaflets of a black locust tree, Robinia pseudoacacia L., affected by witches’-broom disease revealed (in the small and medium rachises and leaflets) structures that were characteristic of phytoplasmas, and crystal-like inclusions in the phloem sieve-tube members. A crystal-like inclusion was also seen in a companion cell. Paracrystalline arrays were seen only (and very rarely) in phloem sieve-tube elements of medium rachises. Some elements contained several crystal-like inclusions and each inclusion had fracture planes. The crystal-like inclusions and paracrystalline arrays apparently have not been previously reported in the black locust. The paracrystalline arrays and crystal-like inclusions may merely be by-products of the plant’s metabolic activity. Extensive additional work would be required to establish the precise relationship (if any) of the arrays and inclusions to the black locust, witches’-brooming and/or phytoplasmas. Results from analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences amplified by the polymerase chain reaction indicated for the first time that the phytoplasma associated with black locust witches’-broom is a member of group 16 SrIII (peach X-disease) phytoplasma group. This raised the question of whether black locust may be a significant source of the phytoplasma for infection of other plants, especially agricultural crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - It is essential that important field processes are taken into account to model water flow and chemical transport accurately in agricultural fields. Recent field studies indicate that transport through macropores can play a major role in the export of solutes and particulates from drained agricultural land into surface water. Non-ideal drain behaviour may further modify the flow and transport. We extended an existing two-dimensional flow and transport model for variably saturated soils (SWMS_2D) by adding a macropore domain and an additional Hooghoudt drain boundary condition. The Hooghoudt boundary condition accounts for an entrance head needed to initiate flow into the drains. This paper presents the application of the new model (M-2D) to an agricultural field in Switzerland. To understand interactions between macropore flow and drains better we simulated water flow and bromide transport for four different field scenarios. We considered both collector drains only with an ideal drain boundary condition (with and without macropores) and collectors and laterals with a Hooghoudt boundary condition (also with and without macropores). For each scenario, inverse modelling was used to identify model parameters using 150 days of data on observed cumulative discharge, water table depth, and tracer concentration. The models were subsequently tested against a 390-day validation data set. We found that the two additional components (macropore flow, drain entrance head) of the M-2D model were essential to describe adequately the flow regime and the tracer transport data in the field.

AB  - To assess the risk of transmission of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) associated with the movement of processed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, from an area where the virus is endemic, 240 freshly eviscerated fish (225–500 g) exhibiting spinal curvature or spinal compression types of deformities were tested for IHNV by virus isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Commercially produced rainbow trout, approximately 1-year-old, that exhibited spinal deformities were considered to have had a high likelihood of having survived an outbreak of IHN. Serological analysis of fish exhibiting spinal curvature or spinal compression types of deformities for anti-IHNV antibodies resulted in 71 and 50% of the serum samples, respectively, with detectable neutralization activity suggesting previous infection with IHNV. A portion of the skin and muscle in the area of the deformity was collected, as well as brain tissue from each commercially processed fish. Tissue homogenates were tested for IHNV using the epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cell line pretreated with polyethylene glycol and the chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) cell line using standard methods. Nested, reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR for the detection of IHNV used the central 1231 bp portion of the glycoprotein (G) gene. All brain and skin-muscle homogenates were negative for IHNV by virus isolation and by nested RT-PCR. To assess virus clearance experimentally, groups of 100 specific-pathogen-free (SPF) rainbow trout (mean weight, 100 g) were either intraperitoneally injected with IHNV or sham infected and held separately in 385 L aquaria in SPF water at 15 °C. In the first study, a total of 33% of the infected fish died. Ten days after the last mortality or 34 days after post-infection, six fish from each treatment were killed at weekly intervals for 6 weeks. Kidney and brain homogenates from individual fish were tested by virus isolation and nested RT-PCR using... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 1996, nine federal agencies with mandates to inventory and manage the nation's land, water, and biological resources signed a memorandum of understanding entitled “Developing a Spatial Framework of Ecological Units of The United States.” This spatial framework is the basis for interagency coordination and collaboration in the development of ecosystem management strategies. One of the objectives in this memorandum is the development of a map of common ecological regions for the conterminous United States. The regions defined in the spatial framework will be areas within which biotic, abiotic, terrestrial, and aquatic capacities and potentials are similar. The agencies agreed to begin by exploring areas of agreement and disagreement in three federal natural-resource spatial frameworks—Major Land Resource Areas of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Hierarchy of Ecological Units of the USDA Forest Service, and Level III Ecoregions of the US Environmental Protection Agency. The explicit intention is that the framework will foster an ecological understanding of the landscape, rather than an understanding based on a single resource, single discipline, or single agency perspective. This paper describes the origin, capabilities, and limitations of three major federal agency frameworks and suggests why a common ecological framework is desirable. The scientific and programmatic benefits of common ecological regions are described, and a proposed process for development of the common framework is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pseudomonas putida and P. oleovorans have been extensively studied for their production of medium-chain-length (mcl)-polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). These bacteria are incapable of metabolizing triacylglycerols (TAGs). We have constructed recombinant P. putida and P. oleovorans that can utilize TAGs as substrates for growth and mcl-PHA synthesis. A recombinant plasmid, pCN51lip-1, carrying Pseudomonas lipase genes was used to electrotransform these organisms. The transformants expressed TAG-hydrolyzing activity as shown by a rhodamine B fluorescence plate assay. The genetically modified organisms grew in TAG-containing medium to a cell dry weight of 2–4 g/l. The recombinant P. putida produced mcl-PHA at a crude yield of 0.9–1.6 g/l with lard or coconut oil (Co) as substrate. While P. oleovorans transformant did not produce mcl-PHA, a mixed-culture fermentation approach with the wild-type and recombinant strains afforded polymer production from Co at a crude yield of 0.5 g/l. Compositional analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed that β-hydroxyoctanoate (31–45 mol %) and β-hydroxydecanoate (28–35 mol %) were the dominant repeat units of the TAG-based PHA. The number-average and weight-average molecular masses of the PHAs as determined by gel permeation chromatography were 82–170×103 g/mol and 464–693×103 g/mol, respectively. The recombinant approach can greatly increase the number of organisms that can be used to produce PHA from fat and oil substrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the cause of the food-borne salmonellosis pandemic in humans, in part because it has the unique ability to contaminate eggs without causing discernible illness in the birds infected. The infection route to humans involves colonization, survival and multiplication of the pathogen in the hen house environment, the bird and, finally, the egg. This review highlights the stages of transmission and discusses evidence that altered bacterial growth patterns and specific cell surface characteristics contribute to the adaptation of S. enteritidis to these diverse environments.

AB  - Variability in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the two most prevalent Salmonella serotypes causing food-borne salmonellosis was assessed using gas chromatography analysis of neutral sugars from 43 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) and 20 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) isolates. Four substantially different types of O-chain chemotypes were detected using cluster analysis of sugar compositions; these were low-molecular-mass (LMM) LPS, glucosylated LMM LPS, high-molecular-mass (HMM) LPS and glucosylated HMM LPS. Nineteen out of 20 S. Typhimurium isolates yielded glucosylated LMM. In contrast, S. Enteritidis produced a more diverse structure, which varied according to the source and history of the isolate: 45.5% of egg isolates yielded glucosylated HMM LPS; 100% of stored strains lacked glucosylation but retained chain length in some cases; and 83.3% of fresh isolates from the naturally infected house mouse Mus musculus produced glucosylated LMM LPS. A chain length determinant (wzz) mutant of S. Enteritidis produced a structure similar to that of S. Typhimurium and was used to define what constituted significant differences in structure using cluster analysis. Fine mapping of the S. Enteritidis chromosome by means of a two-restriction enzyme-ribotyping technique suggested that mouse isolates producing glucosylated LMM LPS were closely related to orally invasive strains obtained from eggs, and that stored strains were accumulating genetic changes that correlated with suppression of LPS O-chain glucosylation. These results suggest that the determination of LPS chemotype is a useful tool for epidemiological monitoring of S. Enteritidis, which displays an unusual degree of diversity in its LPS O-chain.

AB  - A series of ELISAs based on anti-sulfathiazole (STZ) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were developed that can detect STZ below the tolerance level in tissues. The IC[sub 50] values (concentrations of STZ inhibiting 50% of binding in a competitive ELISA) for each MAb ranged from 6 to 21 ng ml[sup -1] of STZ. Immunoassays based upon two MAbs, STZ-23 and SDM44, were evaluated for their assay performance using swine liver samples spiked with STZ. Swine liver tissue was analyzed without a complex sample preparation step, with only a simple dilution of swine liver extract being necessary. A good correlation between immunoassay results and spike levels in swine liver (R[sup 2] >0.98) was obtained, demonstrating that the immunoassays are capable of quantifying STZ in swine liver. The cross-reactivities of other sulfonamide drugs and STZ metabolites in these immunoassays were also examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1. [sup 14]C-TBBP-A (2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl)propane) was administered orally to the conventional and bile-duct cannulated male Sprague-Dawley rat (2.0 mg/kg body weight). Urine, bile and faeces were collected daily for 72 h, and selected tissues were removed for distribution studies. 2. Faeces was the major route of elimination of TBBP-A in the conventional rat (9.7% of dose), and urine was a minor elimination route (0.3%). Enterohepatic circulation was suggested by biliary excretion of 71.3% and faecal excretion of 26.7% of the administered radioactivity in the bile-duct cannulated rat. 3. [sup 14]C-labelled residues in tissues were 2% in the conventional rat, and <1% in the bile-duct cannulated rat. The large and small intestines contained the majority of the tissue [sup 14]C activity for both groups of rat. Levels of TBBP-A in liver were < 0.1%, and in fat were below the level of quantification. 4. Three metabolites were characterized in 0-24 h bile samples. Glucuronic acid and sulphate ester conjugates were characterized by mass spectrometry. More than 95% of the extractable faecal [sup 14]C was identified as parent TBBP-A. 5. Negligible amounts of TBBP-A-derived [sup 14]C were associated with carrier proteins he urine and bile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We estimated prevalence and control of type 2 diabetes in Puerto Rican, Dominican, and non-Hispanic White (NHW) elders and associated them with sociodemographic and health behavior variables and with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Methods. We used a cross-sectional analysis with a sample of Hispanic elders in Massachusetts and a comparison group of NHWs (1991-1997). The analysis included 379 Puerto Ricans, 113 Dominicans, and 164 NHWs, aged 60 to 96 years, with complete questionnaires and blood samples. Results. Type 2 diabetes was significantly more prevalent among Puerto Ricans (38%) and Dominicans (35%) than among NHWs (23%). Differences remained after covariates were adjusted for. Hispanics with diabetes were approximately 3 times more likely to use insulin than NHWs. Puerto Ricans were 2 times, and Dominicans 3 times, more likely to have glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations of 7% or above than NHWs. BMI and waist circumference were individually associated with diabetes. When included in the model together, waist circumference, but not BMI, remained independently associated with diabetes. Conclusions. Ethnicity was more strongly associated with diabetes status and control than were socioeconomic or measured health behavior variables, suggesting that genetic or other culturally related factors may explain these differences.

AB  - The proteins commonly referred to as 14-3-3s have recently come to prominence in the study of protein:protein interactions, having been shown to act as allosteric or steric regulators and possibly scaffolds. The binding of 14-3-3 proteins to the regulatory phosphorylation site of nitrate reductase (NR) was studied in real-time by surface plasmon resonance, using primarily an immobilized synthetic phosphopeptide based on spinach NR-Ser543. Both plant and yeast 14-3-3 proteins were shown to bind the immobilized peptide ligand in a Mg2+-stimulated manner. Stimulation resulted from a reduction in KD and an increase in steady-state binding level (Req). As shown previously for plant 14-3-3s, fluorescent probes also indicated that yeast BMH2 interacted directly with cations, which bind and affect surface hydrophobicity. Binding of 14-3-3s to the phosphopeptide ligand occurred in the absence of divalent cations when the pH was reduced below neutral, and the basis for enhanced binding was a reduction in KD. At pH 7.5 (+Mg2+), AMP inhibited binding of plant 14-3-3s to the NR based peptide ligand. The binding of AMP to 14-3-3s was directly demonstrated by equilibrium dialysis (plant), and from the observation that recombinant plant 14-3-3s have a low, but detectable, AMP phosphatase activity.

AB  - This research evaluates the economics of cost-sharing improved irrigation technologies to reduce agricultural, nonpoint-source contamination. Irrigation and fertilization inefficiencies are modeled within a nonjoint production process to evaluate both private and public costs of technology adoption and its effect on groundwater nitrate-contamination levels. A central Nebraska application indicates that even without a current government subsidy, a farmer is economically better off switching from gravity-flow to surge-flow irrigation rather than a center-pivot system. An annual government subsidy of $22.50 (US$) per hectare per year is required over the life of a center-pivot system to make the farmer financially indifferent. However, cost-sharing center-pivot adoption improves the groundwater contamination level, while other irrigation systems result in continued deterioration of groundwater quality.

AB  - In peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch.), sorbitol and sucrose are the two main forms of photosynthetic and translocated carbon and may have different functions depending on the organ of utilization and its developmental stage. The role and interaction of sorbitol and sucrose metabolism was studied in mature leaves (source) and shoot tips (sinks) of ‘Nemaguard’ peach under drought stress. Plants were irrigated daily at rates of 100, 67, and 33% of evapotranspiration (ET). The relative elongation rate (RER) of growing shoots was measured daily. In mature leaves, water potential (Ψw ), osmotic potential (Ψs ), sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH, EC 1.1.1.200), and sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS, EC 2.4.1.14) activities were measured weekly. Measurements of Ψs , sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH, 1.1.1.14), sucrose synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.13), acid invertase (AI, EC 3.2.1.26), and neutral invertase (NI, EC 3.2.1.27) activities were taken weekly in shoot tips. Drought stress reduced RER and Ψw of plants in proportion to water supply. Osmotic adjustment was detected by the second week of treatment in mature leaves and by the third week in shoot tips. Both SDH and S6PDH activities were reduced by drought stress within 4 days of treatment and positively correlated with overall Ψw levels. However, only SDH activity was correlated with Ψs . Among the sucrose enzymes, only SS was affected by drought, being reduced after 3 weeks. Sorbitol accumulation in both mature leaves and shoot tips of stressed plants was observed starting from the second week of treatment and reached up to 80% of total solutes involved in osmotic adjustment. Sucrose content was up to 8-fold lower than sorbitol content and accumulated only occasionally. We conclude that a loss of SDH activity in sinks leads to osmotic adjustment via sorbitol accumulation in peach. We propose an adaptive... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a multifunctional endocytic receptor that is highly expressed in adipocytes and the hypothalamus. Animal models and in vitro studies support a role for LRP1 in adipocyte metabolism and leptin signaling, but genetic polymorphisms have not been evaluated for obesity in people.Design and Methods: We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans (n = 920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area.We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans (n = 920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area.Results: In multivariable linear regression models, we dichotomized saturated fat intake and found significant interaction terms between total saturated fatty acids and LRP1 rs1799986 genotype for BMI (P=0.006) and hip (P = 0.002). High intake of saturated fat was associated with higher BMI (P = 0.001), waist (P = 0.008) and hip (P=0.003) in minor allele carriers (CT+TT) compared to CC participants. Further analysis of dichotomized individual saturated fatty acids revealed that interactions were strongest for two individual longer chain fatty acids. High intake of palmitic acid (C16:0; P = 0.0007) and high stearic acid intake (C18:0; P = 0.005) were associated with higher BMI in T carriers. Interactions were not detected for polyunsaturated fatty acids.Conclusions: Gene-diet interactions at the LRP1 locus support the hypothesis that susceptibility to weight gain based on saturated fatty acids is modified by genotype and possibly by chain length. These results may facilitate the development of a panel of genetic candidates for use in optimizing dietary recommendations for obesity management.

AB  - Oxidative stress is involved in age-related cognitive decline. The dietary antioxidants, carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamin A may play a role in the prevention or delay in cognitive decline. In this study, sera were obtained from 78 octogenarians and 220 centenarians from the Georgia Centenarian Study. Brain tissues were obtained from 47 centenarian decedents. Samples were analyzed for carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and retinol using HPLC. Analyte concentrations were compared with cognitive tests designed to evaluate global cognition, dementia, depression and cognitive domains (memory, processing speed, attention, and executive functioning). Serum lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene concentrations were most consistently related to better cognition (P < 0.05) in the whole population and in the centenarians. Only serum lutein was significantly related to better cognition in the octogenarians. In brain, lutein and β-carotene were related to cognition with lutein being consistently associated with a range of measures. There were fewer significant relationships for α-tocopherol and a negative relationship between brain retinol concentrations and delayed recognition. These findings suggest that the status of certain carotenoids in the old may reflect their cognitive function. The protective effect may not be related to an antioxidant effect given that α-tocopherol was less related to cognition than these carotenoids.

AB  - This study shows the effect of deviation from stoichiometric composition on the anisotropy and magnetostriction of cobalt ferrite Cox\rm Fe3-{\rm x}{\rm O}4. Deviation from stoichiometric composition caused the magnetocrystalline anisotropy to become higher for x=0.7 and 0.8, but lower for x=0.2. The amplitude, slope and shape of the magnetostriction curves and strain derivatives of the samples were also strongly affected. The present work indicates how variation from stoichiometric composition can be used to tailor magnetic and magnetostrictive properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract–Gd5{(Six{\rm Ge}1-{\rm x})}4 exhibits a first order phase transition for the compositions 0<x<0.575 leading to a magnetic phase transition as well. It is not possible to measure the second order phase (magnetic) transition temperatures of the individual phases with direct measurements. This is because the first order phase transition occurs before the second order phase transition. With modified Arrott plots we have shown previously that it is possible to estimate the second order phase transition of the Gd5Si4-type orthorhombic phase. In this paper we have estimated the second order phase transition temperature of the Gd5Si2Ge2-type monoclinic phase using a single crystal sample of Gd5Si1.5Ge2.5 (0.375) which falls in the mixed phase region of the sample.

N2  - The relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin and visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan is compelling. There is a variety of evidence to support a role for lutein and zeaxanthin in vision. Lutein's role in cognition has only recently been considered. Lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are taken up selectively into eye tissue. Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in human brain tissue. Lutein and zeaxanthin in neural tissue may have biological effects that include antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and structural actions. In addition, lutein and zeaxanthin may be protective against eye disease because they absorb damaging blue light that enters the eye. In pediatric brains, the relative contribution of lutein to the total carotenoids is twice that found in adults, accounting for more than half the concentration of total carotenoids. The greater proportion of lutein in the pediatric brain suggests a need for lutein during neural development as well. In adults, higher lutein status is related to better cognitive performance, and lutein supplementation improves cognition. The evidence to date warrants further investigation into the role of lutein and zeaxanthin in visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Dysregulation in the circadian system induced by variants of clock genes has been associated with type 2 diabetes. Evidence for the role of cryptochromes, core components of the system, in regulating glucose homeostasis is not supported by CRY1 candidate gene association studies for diabetes and insulin resistance in human, suggesting possible dietary influences. The purpose of this study was to test for interactions between a CRY1 polymorphism, rs2287161, and carbohydrate intake on insulin resistance in two independent populations: a Mediterranean ( n = 728) and an European origin North American population ( n = 820). Linear regression interaction models were performed in two populations to test for gene-diet interactions on fasting insulin and glucose and two insulin-related traits, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI). In addition, fixed effects meta-analyses for these interactions were performed. Cohort-specific interaction analyses showed significant interactions between the CRY1 variant and dietary carbohydrates for insulin resistance in both populations ( p < 0.05). Findings from the meta-analyses of carbohydrate-single nucleotide polymorphism interactions indicated that an increase in carbohydrate intake (% of energy intake) was associated with a significant increase in HOMA-IR ( p = 0.011), fasting insulin ( p = 0.007) and a decrease in QUICKI ( p = 0.028), only among individuals homozygous for the minor C allele. This novel finding supports the link between the circadian system and glucose metabolism and suggests the importance this CRY1 locus in developing personalized nutrition programs aimed at reducing insulin resistance and diabetes risk.

N2  - Over the past decade, the food industry has increased its use of front-of-package and shelf-tag nutrition labeling designed to present key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. One such system is the Guiding Stars Program(TM) (GSP), which uses an algorithm to score the nutritional values of food products from one to three stars, where more stars mean more nutritious. We studied how the introduction of the GSP in one supermarket chain affected the demand for ready-to-eat cereals. We estimated the demand for cereals and measured the effect using a treatment-control approach. We found that the GSP significantly increased the demand for cereals that GSP considers more nutritious at the expense of cereals that GSP considers less nutritious.

N2  - This paper uses a lottery-choice mechanism to measure farmer preferences over money-denominated risks. We look at the ability of these choice data to predict farming decisions for an in-person sample of 68 farmers. A coarse version of our risk preference measure has substantial explanatory power but in an unexpected direction: a farmer who was more risk averse under our measure was less likely to have diversified his operation and less likely to have a crop insurance contract. A fine version of our risk preference measure has essentially no explanatory power. We conclude that despite their widespread use in the lab, lottery-choice measures of risk preferences are unproven for predicting real world farming behaviour.

N2  - An impact of increased variable renewable generation is the need for balancing authorities to procure more ancillary services. While demand response resources are technically capable of providing these services, current experience across the U.S. illustrates they are relatively minor players in most regions. Accessing demand response resources for ancillary services may require a number of changes to policies and common practices at multiple levels. Regional reliability councils must first define ancillary services such that demand response resources may provide them. Once the opportunity exists, balancing authorities define and promulgate rules that set the infrastructure investments and performance attributes of a resource wishing to provide such services. These rules also dictate expected revenue streams which reveal the cost effectiveness of these resources. The regulatory compact between utility and state regulators, along with other statutes and decisions by state policymakers, may impact the interest of demand response program providers to pursue these resources as ancillary service providers. This paper identifies within these broad categories specific market and policy barriers to demand response providing ancillary services in different wholesale and retail environments, with emphasis on smaller customers who must be aggregated through a program provider to meet minimum size requirements for wholesale transactions.

AB  - Groundwater in shallow aquifers near Milan, NM is the sole source of water for agriculture and human consumption. Beginning in the early 1950's the region experienced extensive mining of uranium and two uranium mills also located nearby. Groundwater in the region has high levels of uranium, selenium, nitrates, and vanadium, and has been found to be too contaminated for human use. Other sources of water have been provided to most residents in the region. Isotopic and chemical identifiers were used to help distinguish contaminants derived from anthropogenic and natural occurring sources near and the two milling sites. Private wells were sampled in the fall of 2015. Principal Component Analysis was used to display similarities and differences in groundwater chemistry for sampled wells, natural sources and uranium mill site groundwater. Several of the private wells had similar levels of contaminants as mill-derived water. Activity ratios (ARs) for uranium-234 and uranium-238 were used to determine the source of groundwater contamination. Dissolved sulfate in mill-derived groundwater was enriched with sulfur-34 whereas, natural occurring groundwater showed a depletion of sulfur-34. Other stable isotopes were used to determine sources of contaminants in the aquifers. The use of chemical and isotopic identifiers in this study help to determine that groundwater contaminants in private wells down gradient from the milling site were most likely derived from the mill site dewatering activities and not the natural occurring contaminants from Morrison formations in the San Mateo Creek basin aquifers.

AB  - A posteriori and modified granddaughter designs were applied to determine haplotype effects for Holstein bulls and cows with BovineSNP50 [-50,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP); Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA] genotypes. The a posteriori granddaughter design was applied to 52 sire families, each with ≥100 genotyped sons with genetic evaluations based on progeny tests. For 33 traits (milk, fat, and protein yields; fat and protein percentages; somatic cell score; productive life; daughter pregnancy rate; heifer and cow conception rates; service-sire and daughter calving ease; servicesire and daughter stillbirth; 18 conformation traits; and net merit), the analysis was applied to the autosomal segment with the SNP with the greatest effect in the genomic evaluation of each trait. All traits except 2 had a within-family haplotype effect. The same design was applied with the genetic evaluations of sons corrected for SNP effects associated with chromosomes besides the one under analysis. The number of within-family contrasts was 166 without adjustment and 211 with adjustment. Of the 52 bulls analyzed, 36 had BovineHD (high density; Illumina Inc.) genotypes that were used to test for concordance between sire quantitative trait loci and SNP genotypes; complete concordance was not obtained for any effects. Of the 31 traits with effects from the a posteriori granddaughter design, 21 were analyzed with the modified granddaughter design. Only sires with a contrast for the a posteriori granddaughter design and ≥200 granddaughters with a record usable for genetic evaluation were included. Calving traits could not be analyzed because individual cow evaluations were not computed. Eight traits had within-family haplotype effects. With respect to milk and fat yields and fat percentage, the results on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 14 corresponded to the hypothesis that a missense mutation in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene is the main causative mutation, although other polymorphisms in that gene also modify fat yield and percentage. The positive allele for protein concentration was less frequent, which indicated that selection on that locus could be effective. Although the results can be used to determine causative polymorphisms for most of the analyzed traits, complete DNA sequencing of most of the analyzed sires probably will be required.

AB  - Some housing systems on dairy farms can result in long-term chronic pain. The effects of acute pain on immunity have been explored, but chronic pain's influence on immune responses is still poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine chronic effects of flooring on immune responses and production in freestall housing for dairy cows. Thirty heifers were studied from before calving as first-calf heifers until d 180 of their second lactation. Treatments were rubber (Kraiburg; Agromatic Inc., Fond du Lac, WI) flooring or concrete with diamond grooves in a freestall barn, each in 2 quadrants of the barn. Heifers entered the treatments after calving, so the system was dynamic and each cow was considered an experimental unit. At the end of the first lactation, cows were housed in a bedded pack barn with pasture access until calving was imminent. At that time, they returned to their assigned treatment, but not necessarily into the same quadrant. Production, reproduction, cortisol, acute-phase proteins, and health data were recorded throughout lactation 1, locomotion was scored weekly, and hoof scoring and care was conducted on d 60 and 180 of lactations 1 and 2, and quantitative real-time-PCR of blood leukocytes was analyzed in mid lactation of lactation 1. Mature-equivalent milk fat, milk protein, and protein percentages during the first lactation were greater for cows on the rubber flooring. Hoof and leg therapy treatments per cow were fewer for rubber floor-housed cows. Locomotion scores were less for cows housed on rubber during the second lactation. White blood cell counts were less for cows housed on rubber, and caused by greater lymphocyte counts for cows housed on concrete. The possibility of chronic inflammation was substantiated by less IL-1β and more IL-1 receptor antagonists for cows housed on rubber at d 150 in the second lactation. Cortisol and acute-phase proteins did not differ between the treatments. Interferon-γ, IL-12, the modulator of tissue reconstruction (B-cell-transforming growth factor 1), and pain-modulating neurokinin (tachykinin 1) were not different at d 105. These data show indicators of chronic inflammation for cows housed on the concrete flooring compared with those housed on rubber. Implications for the use of rubber flooring in freestall barns are broader than just lameness and may affect many aspects of cow physiology and production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: A new negative feedback loop has been proposed, which suggests connections between the circadian clock and SIRTUIN1 (SIRT1)-dependent functions associated with cell survival, development and metabolism.Objective: To develop a SIRT1 and circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK) combined genotype and to assess its associations with the chronotype of subjects and their potential resistance to weight loss in a behavioral treatment for obesity based on a Mediterranean diet.Design: Overweight /obese subjects (n=1465), aged 20-65 years, who attended outpatient obesity clinics, were genotyped for SIRT1 (rs1467568) and CLOCK (3111T>C, rs1801260). Anthropometric, biochemical and dietary-intake variables were analyzed. Effectiveness of the program and weight loss progression during 30 weeks of treatment was assessed.Results: We found highly consistent associations between the morning/evening questionnaires across the different genotype categories. Subjects carrying minor alleles at SIRT1 and CLOCK loci (R group) displayed a higher resistance to weight loss and a lower weekly weight loss rate as compared with homozygotes for both major alleles (P group). Significant differences were found across genotypes in weight loss progression during the 30 weeks of treatment (P=0.039). Dietary habits indicated that R carriers had a lower intake of total carbohydrates and monounsaturated fats, and a higher intake of saturated fats than those carrying the intermediate (M) and the P genotype (P=0.02). Plasma ghrelin concentrations were also significantly higher in subjects carrying the R genotype.Conclusion: Variants of both SIRT1 and CLOCK have an additive effect on resistance to weight loss that could be related to the chronotype of the subject, higher plasma levels of ghrelin and less adherence to Mediterranean diet patterns.

AB  - Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Serviceberry or Saskatoon berry [Amelanchier alnifolia (Nutt.) Nutt. ex. M. Roem (Rosaceae)], native to the North Glacier forests of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, has been used by the Blackfeet Indian tribe in alleviation of diabetes. Anecdotally, tea made from twigs and leaves have been used for optimum health and diabetes management. However, such traditional knowledge of the medicinal properties of Amelanchier alnifolia has not been validated by scientific studies. The goal of this study was to identify potential antidiabetic mechanisms of serviceberry. Materials and Methods: Serviceberry plant samples consisting of leaves, twigs, and leaves with berries were extracted and fractionated. Ethyl acetate and water fractions were tested for inhibition of α-glucosidase activity in vitro. Diet-induced obese, hyperglycemic C57Bl6 mice were administered serviceberry leaf extract prior to sucrose-, starch-, or glucose-loading to test for α-glucosidase inhibition and decreased post-prandial glycemic response. Results: In the course of screening for potential antidiabetic mechanisms, serviceberry leaf extracts and subfractions demonstrated potent inhibitory activity against mammalian intestinal α-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.20). Further, in an animal model of diet-induced obesity and hyperglycemia, serviceberry leaf subfraction demonstrated significant inhibition of intestinal α-glucosidase activity, and delayed the absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in significant lowering of post-prandial blood glucose concentrations, similar to the antidiabetic drug Acarbose™. Conclusions: These findings indicating that serviceberry leaf extract may lower post-prandial glycemic response corroborate traditional knowledge of the Blackfeet Indians of Montana, and potentially offer a complementary approach in the treatment of diabetes.

AB  - Background: The American Heart Association (AHA), Institute of Medicine (IOM), and US Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines for Americans all recommend that Americans limit sodium intake and choose foods that contain potassium to decrease the risk of hypertension and other adverse health outcomes. Objective: We estimated the distributions of usual daily sodium and potassium intakes by sociodemographic and health characteristics relative to current recommendations. Design: We used 24-h dietary recalls and other data from 12,581 adults aged ≥20 y who participated in NHANES in 2003-2008. Estimates of sodium and potassium intakes were adjusted for within- individual day-to-day variation by using measurement error models. SEs and 95% CIs were assessed by using jackknife replicate weights. Results: Overall, 99.4% (95% CI: 99.3%, 99.5%) of US adults consumed more sodium daily than recommended by the AHA (<1500 mg), and 90.7% (89.6%, 91.8%) consumed more than the IOM Tolerable Upper Intake Level (2300 mg). In US adults who are recommended by the Dietary Guidelines to further reduce sodium intake to 1500 mg/d (ie, African Americans aged ≥51 y or persons with hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease), 98.8% (98.4%, 99.2%) overall consumed >1500 mg/d, and 60.4% consumed >3000 mg/d-more than double the recommendation. Overall, <2% of US adults and ~5% of US men consumed ≥4700 mg K/d (ie, met recommendations for potassium). Conclusion: Regardless of recommendations or sociodemographic or health characteristics, the vast majority of US adults consume too much sodium and too little potassium.

AB  - Objective: To provide updated estimates of drinking water intake (total, tap, plain bottled) for groups aged ≥1 year in the USA and to determine whether intakes collected in 2005-2006 using the Automated Multiple-Pass Method for the 24 h recall differ from intakes collected in 2003-2004 via post-recall food-frequency type questions.Design: Cross-sectional, observational study.Setting: What We Eat in America (WWEIA), the dietary intake component of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Subjects: Individuals aged ≥1 year in 2003-2004 (n 8249) and 2005-2006 (n 8437) with one complete 24 h recall.Results: The estimate for the percentage of individuals who reported total drinking water in 2005-2006 was significantly (P < 0·0000) smaller (76·9 %) than that for 2003-2004 (87·1 %), attributable to a lower percentage reporting tap water (54·1 % in 2005-2006 v. 67·0 % in 2003-2004; P = 0·0001). Estimates of mean tap water intake differed between the survey cycles for men aged ≥71 years.Conclusions: Survey variables must be examined before combining or comparing data from multiple WWEIA/NHANES release cycles. For at least some age/gender groups, drinking water intake data from NHANES cycles prior to 2005-2006 should not be considered comparable to more recent data.

AB  - Objective: The present study examined the association of serum ferritin with CHD risk using the Framingham Heart Study's 10-year risk algorithm.Design: Ordinal logistic regression modelling was used to interpret risk. Proportional odds modelling assessed four divisions of ranked CHD risk (4, high; 3, increased; 2, slight; 1, minimal), separately by sex.Setting: Baltimore, MD, USA.Subjects: African-American and white participants (n 1823) from baseline of the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study, aged 30-64 years.Results: For men, there was a 0·5 % increase in risk for every 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l). Other significant predictors included increased BMI, white race, unemployment and C-reactive protein ≥9·5 mg/l. For women, there was a 1·5 % [corrected] increase in risk per 10-unit rise in serum ferritin (pmol/l). Other significant predictors included increased BMI, lower education, unemployment and C-reactive protein ≥9·5 mg/l.Conclusions: Serum ferritin is a significant predictor of 10-year hard CHD risk for HANDLS study participants, a low-income, urban population. Serum ferritin, independent of elevated C-reactive protein, was associated with increased 10-year CHD risk for HANDLS participants. To our knowledge, these data provide the first evidence of the role of serum ferritin as a risk factor for hard CHD in African-American and white postmenopausal women in the USA. Future research on cardiovascular events from this prospective study may confirm the association.

AB  - Background: Isoflavones, having chemical structures similar to estrogens, are believed to stimulate nitric oxide production and thus lower blood pressure. The efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation to stimulate nitric oxide production and lower blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure remains unknown. Objective: The objective was to test the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on nitric oxide production and blood pressure in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure. Design: A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled 6-wk trial was conducted to assess the effects of daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones (in aglycone units) on nitric oxide metabolism and blood pressure in 24 menopausal women with 12 women per group. Changes in nitric oxide metabolism were assessed via a primed, constant-infusion protocol with [15N]arginine and [13C]- and [2H]citrulline. Changes in blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics were assessed via office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, forearm blood flow, and indexes of arterial compliance. Results: When compared with placebo and after control for pre- treatment values, soy isoflavone supplementation had no effect on arginine flux, citrulline flux, nitric oxide synthesis, blood pressure, forearm blood flow, or estimates of arterial stiffness. Conclusion: Daily supplementation with 80 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones over a 6-wk period had no effect on nitric oxide metabolism or blood pressure and associated vascular hemodynamics in menopausal women with high normal blood pressure.

AB  - Background and Aims: Macronutrient intakes and genetic variants have been shown to interact to alter insulin resistance, but replications of gene-nutrient interactions across independent populations are rare, despite their critical importance in establishing credibility. We aimed to investigate a previously demonstrated saturated fat and carbohydrate interaction for insulin resistance for perilipin (PLIN1), a regulator of adipocyte metabolism.Methods and Results: We investigated the previously shown interaction for PLIN1 11482G > A (rs894160) on insulin resistance in US men (n = 462) and women (n = 508) (mean ± SD, 49 ± 16 years). In multivariable linear regression models, we found an interaction (P < 0.05) between the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake as a continuous variable and PLIN1 11482G > A for HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) in women. For carriers of the minor allele but not for non-carriers, as the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake increased, predicted HOMA-IR increased (P = 0.002). By dichotomizing the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate intake into high and low, we found significant interaction terms for insulin and HOMA-IR (P < 0.05). When the ratio of saturated fat to carbohydrate was high, insulin and HOMA-IR were higher in minor allele carriers (P = 0.004 and P = 0.003, respectively), but did not differ when the ratio was low. Similar patterns or trends were observed when saturated fat and carbohydrate were dichotomized into high and low as individual macronutrients.Conclusions: Replication of the previously reported interaction between macronutrient intakes and PLIN1 genotype for insulin resistance reinforces the potential usefulness of applying genotype information in the dietary management of insulin resistance.

AB  - Escherichia coli O157:H7 variants were examined for trait mutations and by molecular subtyping to better define clonal complexes postulated on the O157:H7 evolution model. Strains of beta-glucuronidase-positive, sorbitol-negative O157:H7 isolated in United States and Japan were identical to A5 clonal strain and shared sequence type (ST)-65 by multilocus sequence typing (MLST); thus, they belong in A5. However, these strains exhibited pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profile differences that suggested genomic divergence between populations. Sorbitol-fermenting O157 (SFO157) strains from Finland, Scotland, and Germany were identical to A4 clonal strain and belong in A4. Some SFO157 strains, isolated years apart and from different countries, had identical PFGE profiles, suggesting a common origin. Despite similarities, some Finnish and Scottish and all of the German strains have ST-75 ("German clone"), whereas others have ST-76, a new variant ("Scottish clone"). MLST of strains in other clonal complexes also discriminated strains thought to be identical and showed that genetic differences will further distinguish clonal populations into subclones.

AB  - We studied 7 influenza (H5N1) viruses isolated from poultry in western Siberia and the European part of the Russian Federation during July 2005-February 2006. Full genome sequences showed high homology to Qinghai-like influenza (H5N1) viruses. Phylogenetic analysis not only showed a close genetic relationship between the H5N1 strains isolated from poultry and wild migratory waterfowls but also suggested genetic reassortment among the analyzed isolates. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequences of the M2 and neuraminidase proteins showed that all isolates are potentially sensitive to currently available antiviral drugs. Pathogenicity testing showed that all studied viruses were highly pathogenic in chickens; for 3 isolates tested in mice and 2 tested in ferrets, pathogenicity was heterogeneous. Pathogenicity in mammalian models was generally correlated with Lys at residue 627 of polymerase basic protein 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary: With the ubiquitous generation of complete genome assemblies for a variety of species, efficient tools for whole-genome alignment along with user-friendly visualization are critically important. Our VISTA family of tools for comparative genomics, based on algorithms for pairwise and multiple alignments of genomic sequences and whole-genome assemblies, has become one of the standard techniques for comparative analysis. Most of the VISTA programs have been implemented as Web-accessible servers and are extensively used by the biomedical community. In this manuscript, we introduce GenomeVISTA: a novel implementation that incorporates most features of the VISTA family—fast and accurate alignment, visualization capabilities, GUI and analytical tools within a stand-alone software package. GenomeVISTA thus provides flexibility and security for users who need to conduct whole-genome comparisons on their own computers.Availability and implementation: Implemented in Perl, C/C++ and Java, the source code is freely available for download at the VISTA Web site: http://genome.lbl.gov/vista/Contact: avpoliakov@lbl.gov or ildubchak@lbl.govSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

AB  - Objective Squire's Quest! II: Saving the Kingdom of Fivealot , an online video game, promotes fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. An evaluation study varied the type of implementation intentions used during the goal-setting process (none, action, coping, or both action and coping plans). Participants who created action plans reported higher FV consumption 6 months after baseline. This study assessed changes by specific meal in that study. Methods A total of 400 fourth- and fifth-grade children completed 3 24-hour recalls at baseline and 6 months later. These were averaged to obtain FV intake. Analyses used repeated-measures ANCOVA. Results There was a significant group by time effect for vegetables at 6 months ( P = .01); Action ( P = .01) and coping ( P = .04) group participants reported higher vegetable intake at dinner. There were significant increases in fruit intake at breakfast ( P = .009), lunch ( P = .01), and snack ( P < .001). Conclusions and Implications Setting meal-specific goals and action or coping plans may enable children to overcome barriers and consume FV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - A dense mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. vaseyana [Rydb] Beetle) canopy suppresses understory vegetation. Rambouillet ewes with high and low dietary preferences for mountain big sagebrush were tested for their ability to reduce the cover of dense stands of sagebrush. Eighty ewes with high and low preferences for mountain big sagebrush were grazed in October on 8 pastures with a 33% shrub cover for 3 years. Even though near infrared reflectance spectroscopy measurements of feces indicated that high-preference ewes consumed up to twice as much mountain big sagebrush than did low-preference ewes (P&lt;0.005), there was no difference in the reduction of sagebrush canopy between the high- and low-preference ewes (P=0.46). Indeed, grazing did not reduce mountain big sagebrush more than in the ungrazed pastures. However, ewes with a high preference for mountain big sagebrush consumed more antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata [Pursh] DC.) (P&lt;0.05) than did low-preference ewes (length reductions of 30 cm and 10±3.7 cm [mean±SE], respectively). In this study, the selection of ewes with a dietary preference for mountain big sagebrush had the unintended consequence of selecting ewes with a dietary preference for antelope bitterbrush. Antelope bitterbrush is a desirable shrub in sagebrush steppe ecosystems, and reductions in antelope bitterbrush as a result of altered livestock preferences will reduce rangeland health. Animals selected with a dietary preference for one plant species must be screened to determine what other plants they will preferentially select to limit potential negative consequences for plant communities and ecosystems.

N2  - Objective: To describe food sources of nutrient intake for white and African American adults in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD), and their use in the development of a regional food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) based on an earlier version of the National Cancer Institute's Health Habits and History Questionnaire. Design: We ranked food sources of energy, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals, and examined portion size distributions for 842 white and 857 African American residents aged 19 years and older, using 24-hour dietary intake recall data from a telephone survey of 36 LMD counties. These values were used to develop a regional FFQ, which was then field-tested with 100 subjects and revised to improve interpretability. Setting: The LMD region of the USA. Subjects: White and African American adult residents of the LMD. Results: LMD African Americans obtained more of their energy and nutrient intakes from poultry, processed meat, salty snacks, fruit drinks, pork and cornbread; and less from milk, alcohol, legumes, salad dressing, butter/margarine and sweetened tea than did white residents. Regional foods not on nationally used FFQs included grits, turnip greens, okra, ham hocks, chitterlings, crawfish, catfish, cracklings, jambalaya, potato logs, chicken and dumplings, and sweet potato pie. Based on responses during field-testing, the questionnaire was also designed to add four portion sizes for each food item, presented as questions, rather than in grid format. Conclusions: Regional food use patterns differ from national patterns and furthermore differ between African American and white adults in the LMD. The resulting Delta NIRI FFQ for Adults should contribute to improved assessment of usual intake for use in studies of diet and health in this region.

N2  - Recent studies have found a connection between hyperhomocysteinemia and hip fracture. If this association is causal, it could be mediated through detrimental effects of low B-vitamin status on bone mineral density (BMD). Studies have linked homocysteine (Hcy) and the established Hcy determinants folate and vitamin B12, to BMD, but results have been inconsistent. Furthermore, only one study considered the specific marker of tissue vitamin B12 status, methylmalonic acid (MMA), and none have considered red blood cell (RBC) folate. To further explore associations between Hcy and B-vitamin status indicators and bone health, we used data collected on older (i.e., aged &gt;55 years) men and women who underwent DEXA scans of the hip as participants in phase 2 of the third U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=1550). We used BMD at the total hip as a continuous outcome variable in some analyses. In others, we used osteoporosis defined on a sex- and race/ethnicity-specific basis according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. After adjusting for demographic factors, body mass index, and other osteoporosis risk factors, BMD decreased and osteoporosis increased significantly with increasing serum MMA quartile category (P&lt;0.01). Serum vitamin B12 was related to BMD in dose-response fashion up to about 200 pmol/L, and subjects with serum Hcy≥20 µmol/L had significantly lower BMD than subjects with serum Hcy&lt; 10 µmol/L. Furthermore, the OR (95% CI) relating a serum vitamin B12 concentration below the 25th percentile to osteoporosis/osteopenia was 2.0 (1.0-3.9), and dose-response trends relating both serum B12 and Hcy to this outcome were marginally statistically significant. Neither serum nor RBC folate was related to BMD or osteoporosis. We conclude that Hcy and vitamin B12 status indicators are associated with BMD in older Americans. Whether this association reflects a causal relation remains unclear and merits further study in light of age-related declines in B12 status and BMD, and the need for low-risk, easily implemented strategies for osteoporosis prevention.

N2  - Deficiencies of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A afflict over three billion people (more than 50% of the world's population), most of them women, infants, and children in resource-poor families in the developing world. This global crisis in nutritional health is the result of dysfunctional food systems that do not consistently supply enough of these essential nutrients to meet the nutritional requirements of high-risk groups. Deficiencies of micronutrients result in increased morbidity and mortality rates, lost worker productivity, stagnated national development, permanent impairment of cognitive development in infants and children, and large economic costs and suffering to those societies affected. Because agricultural systems are the primary source of all micronutrients for all people, changes in agricultural policies and systems must be made that will ensure consistent and adequate supplies of all essential nutrients to all people. Additionally, the nutrition and health sectors must turn to agricultural interventions as a primary tool in their efforts to eliminate malnutrition from the world if they want to ensure sustainability. Biotechnological advances show great promise for improving the output of bioavailable micronutrients from agricultural systems that feed the poor. This paper reviews some of these opportunities and discusses the questions and concerns that should be raised when these technologies are used to improve the micronutrient status of vast numbers of people who are dependent on staple food crops for their sustenance. Further, important issues surrounding micronutrient bioavailability and plant food factors that affect it are discussed.

N2  - Background. To understand the concurrent effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the immune system, and antiretroviral therapy on body composition alterations, we examined annualized composition changes in HIV-infected adults who were receiving stable antiretroviral therapy. Methods. With use of data from the Nutrition For Healthy Living Study, we performed multivariate analyses using longitudinal models to evaluate the relationship of CD4+ cell count, viral load, and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) or antiretroviral therapy (ART) with changes in trunk and extremity composition for 110 men and 42 women who provided data relating to 194 study intervals (i.e., intervals of time between 2 assessment visits). Of these intervals, 165 involved HAART use (89.7% involved protease inhibitor-based regimens), and 29 did not involve HAART use. Patients receiving HAART or ART (who had continuous use during the interval) were compared with HAART- or ART-naive subjects. Results. The median length of intervals between visits was 12.9 months (interquartile range, 12.1-17.6 months). In models adjusted for HAART or ART use, baseline CD4+ cell count was positively associated with increased trunk fat (mean increase per year, 2.3% per 100 cells/mm3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.7%-3.9%) and, in men, with increased extremity fat (mean increase per year, 1.8% per 100 cells/mm3; 95% CI, 0.6%-3.0%). Increase in CD4+ cell count predicted increased extremity lean mass (mean increase per year, 0.6% per 100 cells/mm3; 95% CI, 0.05%-1.1%). Higher baseline viral load predicted fat loss (trunk fat loss per year, -5.0% per log10 copies/mL; 95% CI, -9.4% to -0.7%; extremity fat loss per year, -3.4% per log10 copies/mL; 95% CI, -6.1% to -0.6%), as did zidovudine use (trunk fat loss per year, -10.8%; 95% CI, -20.4% to -1.4%; extremity fat loss per year, -4.9%; 95% CI, -9.8% to -0.01%). HAART use independently predicted decreased bone mineral content (extremity bone mineral content loss per year, -1.6%; 95% CI, -3.1% to -0.08%) but did not predict changes in fat or lean mass. Receipt of protease inhibitor-based HAART predicted a -1.9% decrease in extremity bone mineral content per year (95% CI, -3.6% to -0.2%), and zidovudine use predicted a -2.6% decrease in trunk bone mineral content per year (95% CI, -4.4% to -0.8%). Conclusions. Baseline viral load, CD4+ cell count, and change in CD4+ cell count predicted alterations in trunk fat, extremity fat, and lean mass. HAART use and zidovudine use were associated with bone loss, and zidovudine use was associated with fat loss, but HAART use was not associated with fat mass changes.

N2  - Background: The vitamin A value of spinach and carrots needs to be measured directly. Objective: The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsically labeled dietary spinach and carrots in humans. Design: Spinach and carrots were intrinsically labeled by growing these plants in 25 atom% 2H2O nutrient solution. Growth in this medium yielded a range of transβ-carotene (tβ-carotene) isotopomers with a peak enrichment at molecular mass plus 10 mass units. Seven men with a mean (±SD) age of 59.0±6.3 y and a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 25.7±1.5 consumed puréed spinach (300 g, 20.8 µmol tβ-carotene equivalents) or carrots (100 g, 19.2 µmol tβ-carotene equivalents) with a standardized liquid diet (no extra fiber) in random order 4 mo apart. Seven women with a mean (±SD) age of 55.5±6.3 y and a body mass index of 26.4±4.2 consumed puréed spinach only (300 g, 20.0 µmol tβ-carotene equivalents). A reference dose of [13C8]retinyl acetate (8.9 µmol) in oil was given to each subject 1 wk after each vegetable dose. Blood samples were collected over 35 d. Results: Areas under the curve for total labeled serum β-carotene responses were 42.4±8.5 nmol . d per µmol spinach β-carotene and 119.8±23.0 nmol . d per µmol carrot β-carotene (P&lt;0.01). Compared with the [13C8]retinyl acetate reference dose, spinach tβ-carotene conversion to retinol was 20.9±9.0 to 1 (range: 10.0-46.5 to 1) and carrot tβ-carotene conversion to retinol was 14.8±6.5 to 1 (range: 7.7-24.5 to 1) by weight. Conclusions: Spinach and carrots can provide a significant amount of vitamin A even though the amount is not as great as previously proposed. Food matrices greatly affect the bioavailability of plant carotenoids, their efficiency of conversion to vitamin A, or both.

N2  - Background: Pathogenic factors that cause a child to develop the edematous instead of the nonedematous form of severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) during food deprivation are not clear. It was hypothesized that, in edematous but not nonedematous SCU, impaired protein breakdown leading to inadequate amino acids for maintenance of important organ systems was a factor. Objective: We measured protein kinetics in children with edematous and nonedematous SCU. Design: Endogenous leucine flux, an index of whole-body protein breakdown rate, was determined in 4 groups of children with edematous or nonedematous SCU in the malnourished and recovered states. Two groups were studied in the postabsorptive state, and 2 groups were studied in the fed state. Results: In the postabsorptive state, leucine flux was slower (P&lt;0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state, but in the recovered state, it was faster (P&lt;0.05) in the children who previously had edematous SCU. When compared with the malnourished state value, leucine flux at recovery doubled in the group that previously had edematous SCU, but it did not change in the other group. In the fed state, leucine flux was slower (P&lt;0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state but not in the recovered state. In the recovered state, enteral leucine extraction by splanchnic tissues trended higher in the group that previously had edematous SCU than in the nonedematous group. Conclusion: These findings indicate different protein breakdown responses to food deprivation between children with edematous and nonedematous SCU and inherent differences in protein metabolism when they have recovered.

N2  - Background: Elevated homocysteine concentrations may contribute to cognitive impairment. Most elevations in homocysteine result from inadequate folate, vitamin B-12, or vitamin B-6 intake. It is not clear whether the observed associations between homocysteine and cognitive measures are causal or whether they are due to homocysteine, to independent actions of the B vitamins, or to both. Objective: We aimed to assess the individual and independent effects of baseline plasma homocysteine, folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin B-6 and of dietary B vitamin intakes on 3-y changes in cognitive measures in 321 aging men. Design: Participants were from the Veterans Affairs Normative Aging Study (Boston, Massachusetts, USA). Cognitive function was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination and on the basis of measures of memory, verbal fluency, and constructional praxis, which were adapted from the revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease batteries at 2 time points. At baseline, dietary intakes were assessed with a food-frequency questionnaire, and blood was drawn for the measurement of B vitamins and homocysteine. Results: Over a mean 3-y follow-up, declines in constructional praxis, measured by spatial copying, were significantly associated with plasma homocysteine, folate, and vitamins B-6 and B-12 and with the dietary intake of each vitamin. Folate (plasma and dietary) remained independently protective against a decline in spatial copying score after adjustment for other vitamins and for plasma homocysteine. Dietary folate was also protective against a decline in verbal fluency. A high homocysteine concentration was associated with a decline in recall memory. Conclusions: Low B vitamin and high homocysteine concentrations predict cognitive decline. Spatial copying measures appear to be most sensitive to these effects in a general population of aging men.

N2  - Background: Calcium is the only reported dietary inhibitor of both haem- and nonhaem-iron absorption. It has been proposed that the 2 forms of iron enter a common pool in the enterocyte and that calcium inhibits the serosal transfer of iron into blood. Objectives: We aimed to ascertain whether the inhibitory effect of calcium occurs during initial mucosal uptake or during serosal transfer and to compare the serosal transfer of heme and nonheme iron, which should not differ if the 2 forms have entered a common mucosal iron pool. Design: Whole-gut lavage and whole-body counting were used to measure the initial uptake (8 h) and retention (2 wk) of haem and nonhaem iron with and without a calcium supplement (450 mg). Two experiments tested basal meals with low iron bioavailability and 360 mg Ca (n=15) or with high iron bioavailability and 60 mg Ca (n=12). Results: Added calcium reduced the initial uptake of haem iron by 20%, from 49% to ~40% from both meals (P=0.02), and reduced the total iron absorbed from the low- and high-bioavailability meals by ~25% [from 0.033 to 0.025 mg (P=0.06) and from 0.55 to 0.40 mg (P&lt;0.01), respectively]. Calcium did not affect the serosal transfer of either form of iron. Conclusions: Calcium supplementation reduced heme and total iron without significantly affecting nonhaem-iron absorption, regardless of meal bioavailability. Calcium inhibited the initial mucosal uptake rather than the serosal transfer of heme iron. Differences in serosal transfer indicate that heme and nonhaem iron did not enter a common absorptive pool within 8 h after a meal.

N2  - Food frequency questionnaires are commonly used to assess habitual food intake. Although food frequency questionnaires are known to produce measurement error, the amount of error and effectiveness of correction methods are poorly understood. Twelve men from the Baltimore, MD/Washington, DC, area consumed an ad libitum diet for 16 weeks during the spring of 2001. At the end of the study period, subjects reported their food intakes with a food frequency questionnaire (Block 98). During weeks 8 and 16, subjects were dosed with doubly labeled water and maintained physical activity logs. Absolute and relative macronutrient intakes were poorly predicted by the food frequency questionnaire. The application of a single, group mean energy adjustment (using doubly labeled water or physical activity) reduced the variance of carbohydrate intake and increased the variance of fat and protein intakes, but none significantly (p&gt;0.05). Subject-specific energy adjustments reduced the variance for carbohydrate and protein intakes (p&lt;0.05). Including a body weight adjustment reduced the variance in fat intake (p&lt;0.05) when doubly labeled water was used to first correct energy intake. The application of correction methods based on energy expenditure and body weight can be used to reduce measurement error, improving the ability of the food frequency questionnaire to measure food intake.

N2  - Dietary intake of proanthocyanidins (PAs) has been largely unknown because of the lack of reliable values for their content in foods. Recent development of an analytical method for PAs has allowed the quantification of individual oligomers and polymers. This method has been employed to analyze food samples collected under the USDA National Food and Nutrition Analysis Program. A database of the PA content in common foods and also infant foods has been established. It has been shown that PAs account for a major fraction of flavonoids ingested in the US diet and infants and children appear to ingest more PAs than adults on the basis of body weight. These data will provide an opportunity to examine the association between PA intake and health and disease outcomes in epidemiological studies. PA analysis and the significance of PAs in nutrition and diet are reviewed.

N2  - Background: Short-term studies in adolescents have generally shown an enhancement of calcium absorption by inulin-type fructans (prebiotics). Results have been inconsistent; however, and no studies have been conducted to determine whether this effect persists with long-term use. Objective: The objective was to assess the effects on calcium absorption and bone mineral accretion after 8 weeks and one year of supplementation with an inulin-type fructan. Design: Pubertal adolescents from Texas, USA were randomly assigned to receive 8 g/day of a mixed short and long degree of polymerization inulin-type fructan product (fructan group) or maltodextrin placebo (control group). Bone mineral content and bone mineral density were measured before randomization and after one year. Calcium absorption was measured with the use of stable isotopes at baseline and 8 weeks and one year after supplementation. Polymorphisms of the Fok1 vitamin D receptor gene were determined. Results: Calcium absorption was significantly greater in the fructan group than in the control group at 8 weeks (difference: 8.5±1.6%; P&lt;0.001) and at one year (difference: 5.9±2.8%; P=0.04). An interaction with Fok1 genotype was present such that subjects with an ff genotype had the least initial response to fructan. After one year, the fructan group had a greater increment in both whole-body bone mineral content (difference: 35±16 g; P=0.03) and whole-body bone mineral density (difference: 0.015±0.004 g/cm2; P=0.01) than did the control group. Conclusion: Daily consumption of a combination of prebiotic short- and long-chain inulin-type fructans significantly increases calcium absorption and enhances bone mineralization during pubertal growth. Effects of dietary factors on calcium absorption may be modulated by genetic factors, including specific vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms.

N2  - Background: Normal brain and visual development is thought to require exogenous docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) intake, but the amount needed is debatable. Because the supplementation of breastfeeding mothers with DHA increases the DHA content of their infants' plasma lipids, we hypothesized that it might also improve brain or visual function in the infants. Objective: The objective was to determine the effect of DHA supplementation of breastfeeding mothers on neurodevelopmental status and visual function in the recipient infant. Design: Breastfeeding women received capsules containing either a high-DHA algal oil (~200 mg DHA/day) or a vegetable oil (no DHA) for 4 months after delivery. Outcome variables included the fatty acid pattern of maternal plasma phospholipid and milk lipids 4 months postpartum, the fatty acid pattern of plasma phospholipids, and visual function in infants at 4 and 8 months of age, and neurodevelopmental indexes of the infants at 12 and 30 months of age. Results: Milk lipid and infant plasma phospholipid DHA contents of the supplemented and control groups were ~75% and ~35% higher, respectively, at 4 months postpartum. However, neither the neurodevelopmental indexes of the infants at 12 months of age nor the visual function at 4 or 8 months of age differed significantly between groups. In contrast, the Bayley Psychomotor Development Index, but not the Mental Development Index, of the supplemented group was higher (P&lt;0.01) at 30 months of age. Conclusion: DHA supplementation of breastfeeding mothers results in higher infant plasma phospholipid DHA contents during supplementation and a higher Bayley Psychomotor Development Index at 30 months of age but results in no other advantages either at or before this age.

N2  - Plant pathogens for biological control of weeds must satisfy criteria for efficacy, safety, and deployment before they are actually included in the list of candidates for weed management strategies. Decisions are made throughout the development of each candidate agent concerning whether or not further research is justified. These decisions concern pathogen attributes such as collection information, Koch's postulates, long-term storage, host specificity, risk, and other factors, including deployment. In addition to the scrutiny from researchers, who become advocates at the time a proposal is made to regulators for introduction or utilization of a candidate, the proposed use of exotic pathogens for release receives additional review by regulators in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). In this paper, the processes for deciding whether to continue or abandon research on a candidate exotic pathogen for classical biological control of weeds in the United States are examined. Discussion is based on the experience accumulated at the Foreign Disease Weed Science Research Unit of the USDA-Agricultural Research Service but has broader application to programs involving evaluation of foreign candidates for biological control of any invasive species.

N2  - Objective: To determine the effect of particle size (flour vs. flakes) on glycaemic responses after oats and barley (Prowashonupana cultivar), which contain high amounts of soluble fibre, are consumed by overweight women. Design: Ten women (average age, 50 years; body mass index, 30) consumed glucose (1 g/kg body weight) and four test meals (1 g carbohydrate/kg body weight; 2/3 of the carbohydrate from oat flour, oatmeal, barley flour, or barley flakes and 1/3 from pudding) in a Latin square design after consuming controlled diets for 2 days. Blood samples were collected at fasting and periodically after each meal. Results: Peak glucose and insulin levels after barley were significantly lower than those after glucose or oats. Glucose areas under the curve (AUCs) after test meals compared with AUCs after glucose were reduced after both oats and barley (29%-36% by oats and 59%-65% by barley) (p&lt;0.002). Insulin AUCs after test meals compared with glucose AUCs were significantly reduced only by barley (44%-56%) (p&lt;0.005). Indexes for insulin resistance (HOMA, MFFM, Cederholm) after the oat and barley meals were not different from indexes after the glucose meal. Glucagon and leptin responses did not significantly differ for the carbohydrates tested. Conclusions: Particle size of the oats or barley had little effect on the glycaemic responses. Both oat and barley meals reduced glycaemic responses; the high soluble fibre content of this barley appeared to be a factor in the greater reduction observed.

N2  - Prevention and therapy of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent two of the most urgent public health priorities worldwide. The aetiology of CVD is complex and major CVD risk factors include unhealthy lifestyles as well as interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Therefore, recommending single behavioural and dietary changes may not yield universal benefits. In this regard, nutritional genomics studies the interactions between nutritional and genetic factors and health outcomes with the goal of elaborating more efficient personalized dietary intervention strategies to prevent and treat disease. This scientific approach is currently being used in the area of CVD to investigate the presence of gene-diet interactions that may modulate disease risk. So far, these studies have been carried out using the candidate gene approach involving observational and experimental dietary intervention studies. The outcome variables examined have been primarily intermediate CVD risk factors and few studies have used clinical disease as the outcome. Promising interactions have been reported for a variety of genes (i.e., APOE, APOA4, LIPC). However, given the limitations of current experimental designs, namely, the limited number of genetic markers examined, small sample sizes and uncertainty about the accuracy of collection of dietary information, few of the findings have been consistently replicated. Despite the problems highlighted above this new scientific discipline might become the basis for new approaches in disease prevention and personalized therapies.

N2  - Background: Animal studies suggest a role for dietary carbohydrate in cataractogenesis. However, few published human studies have evaluated associations between carbohydrate nutrition and lens opacification. Objective: Our objective was to test the hypothesis that long-term carbohydrate intake and dietary glycaemic index are associated with the odds of early cortical and nuclear opacities. Design: Subjects were 417 members of the Nurses' Health Study cohort aged 53-73 years from Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Dietary information was based on an average from 5 semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 14-year period. Opacities were assessed by using the Lens Opacity Classification System III (LOCS III). We used eyes (n=711) as the unit of analysis and generated odds ratios by using a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the 2 eyes of each subject. Results: After multivariate adjustment, the odds of cortical opacities (LOCS III ≥1.0) among women in the highest tertile of carbohydrate intake (≥200 g/day) was 2.46 times (95% CI: 1.30, 4.64; P for trend=0.005) that among women in the lowest tertile (&lt;185 g/day). This association was not affected by adjustment for dietary glycaemic index, which was not associated with early cortical opacities. Carbohydrate nutrition was not associated with the odds of nuclear opacities (LOCS III ≥2.5). Conclusions: These data suggest that carbohydrate quantity, but not carbohydrate quality, is associated with early cortical opacities, and that neither the quantity nor the quality of dietary carbohydrate affects the risk of nuclear opacities in middle-aged women.

N2  - Background: Observational studies suggest that a plant-based diet is inversely related to body mass index (BMI), overweight and obesity. Objective: Our objective was to examine the BMI (kg/m2) and risk of overweight and obesity of self-defined semivegetarian, lactovegetarian and vegan women. Design: Data analysed in this cross-sectional study were from 55 459 healthy women participating in the Swedish Mammography Cohort. Women were asked whether they considered themselves to be omnivores (n=54 257), semivegetarians (n=960), lactovegetarians (n=159), or vegans (n=83), and this question was the main exposure variable in this study. In secondary analyses, we reclassified women as lactovegetarians on the basis of food intakes reported on the food-frequency questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of overweight or obesity (BMI≥25) was 40% among omnivores, 29% among both semivegetarians and vegans, and 25% among lactovegetarians. In multivariate, adjusted logistic regression analyses, self-identified vegans had a significantly lower risk of overweight or obesity (odds ratio (OR)=0.35; 95% CI: 0.18, 0.69) than did omnivores, as did lactovegetarians (OR=0.54; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.85) and semivegetarians (OR=0.52; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.62). Risk of overweight or obesity remained significantly lower among lactovegetarians classified on the basis of the food-frequency questionnaire (OR=0.48; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.78). Conclusions: Even if vegetarians consume some animal products, our results suggest that self-identified semivegetarian, lactovegetarian and vegan women have a lower risk of overweight and obesity than do omnivorous women. The advice to consume more plant foods and less animal products may help individuals control their weight.

N2  - To evaluate the feasibility of an intact product approach to the near-infrared (NIR) determination of fat content, a rapid acquisition spectrometer, with an InGaAs diode-array detector and custom built sampling device, was used to obtain reflectance spectra (1100-1700 nm) of diverse cereal food products. Fat content reference data were obtained gravimetrically by extraction with petroleum ether (AOAC Method 945.16). Using spectral and reference data, partial least-squares regression analysis was applied to calculate a NIR model (n=89) to predict fat in intact cereal products; the model was adequate for rapid screening of samples, predicting the test samples (n=44) with root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 11.8 (range 1.4-204.8) g kg-1 and multiple coefficient of determination of 0.98. Repeated repacking and rescanning of the samples did not appreciably improve model performance. The model was expanded to include samples with a broad range of particle sizes and moisture contents without reduction in prediction accuracy for the untreated samples. The regression coefficients for the models calculated indicated that spectral features at 1165, 1215 and 1395 nm, associated with CH stretching in fats, were the most critical for model development.

N2  - This overview of multiple micronutrients during pregnancy and lactation emphasizes 2 relatively neglected issues. The first is that maternal micronutrient status in the periconceptional period, and throughout pregnancy and lactation, should be viewed as a continuum; too often these 3 stages are treated and discussed separately from both a scientific and a public health perspective. Iron and vitamin B-12 are included as examples to stress how status at conception affects maternal, fetal, and infant status and health until the child is weaned. The second issue is that while most attention has been focused on a few micronutrients, for example iron and folate as discussed elsewhere in this Supplement, multiple micronutrient deficiencies occur simultaneously when diets are poor. Some of these deserve more attention as causes of poor pregnancy outcome, including other B vitamin deficiencies that result in homocysteinemia, antioxidants, vitamin D, and iodine. In lactation, maternal status or intake of the B vitamins (except folate), vitamin A, selenium and iodine strongly affect the amount of these nutrients secreted in breast milk. This can result in the infant consuming substantially less than the recommended amounts and further depleting stores that were low at birth. While the optimal mode of meeting recommended micronutrient intakes is an adequate diet, in some situations supplementation is also important. Unfortunately, information is lacking on the optimal formulation of micronutrient supplements for pregnant women, and the need to continue these supplements during lactation is not recognized in many situations where maternal and infant health could benefit.

N2  - Risk assessments of pathogens need to account for the growth of small number of cells under varying conditions. In order to determine the possible risks that occur when there are small numbers of cells, stochastic models of growth are needed that would capture the distribution of the number of cells over replicate trials of the same scenario or environmental conditions. This paper provides a simple stochastic growth model, accounting only for inherent cell-growth variability, assuming constant growth kinetic parameters, for an initial, small, numbers of cells assumed to be transforming from a stationary to an exponential phase. Two, basic, microbial sets of assumptions are considered: serial, where it is assume that cells transform through a lag phase before entering the exponential phase of growth; and parallel, where it is assumed that lag and exponential phases develop in parallel. The model is based on, first determining the distribution of the time when growth commences, and then modelling the conditional distribution of the number of cells. For the latter distribution, it is found that a Weibull distribution provides a simple approximation to the conditional distribution of the relative growth, so that the model developed in this paper can be easily implemented in risk assessments using commercial software packages.

N2  - Background: The role of zinc in promoting physiologic function during exercise is not well understood. Although some zinc-containing enzymes are postulated to regulate energy expenditure, data are limited on the effect of restricted dietary zinc on metabolic responses during exercise. Objective: This study determined the effects of low zinc intake on carbonic anhydrase activity in red blood cells (RBCs) and cardiorespiratory function during exercise. Design: In this double-blind, randomized crossover study, 14 men aged 20-31 y were fed low-zinc and supplemented (3.8 and 18.7 mg/d) diets made up of Western foods for 9-wk periods with a 6-wk washout. Peak work capacity, determined by using a cycle ergometer and a graded, progressive protocol, and a prolonged submaximal test (70% peak intensity for 45 min) were administered during the second and ninth weeks of each diet period. Results: Dietary zinc did not affect hemoglobin or hematocrit. Low dietary zinc resulted in lower (P&lt;0.05) serum and erythrocyte zinc concentrations, zinc retention, and total carbonic anhydrase and isoform activities in RBCs. Peak oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, and respiratory exchange ratio were lower (P&lt;0.05), and ventilatory equivalents for metabolic responses during exercise were greater (P&lt;0.05), with low than with supplemental zinc intake. Similar functional responses were observed during prolonged, submaximal exercise. Conclusion: These findings indicate that low dietary zinc is associated with significant reductions in zinc status, including RBC carbonic anhydrase activities, and impaired metabolic responses during exercise.

N2  - A prospective study was conducted to evaluate the association between dietary fat intake and cataract extraction in adult women from the Nurses' Health Study in the USA. 71 083 women were followed prospectively for up to 16 years between 1984 and 2000. Dietary fat was assessed by repeated food frequency questionnaires. Incident cases of cataract extraction were determined using a biennial questionnaire. The multivariate-adjusted relative risk for the highest compared with the lowest quintile of total fat intake was 1.10 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.99-1.22; Ptrend=0.01). Women in the highest quintile of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid had a 12% lower risk of cataract extraction than those in the lowest quintile (relative risk, 0.88; 95% CI: 0.79-0.98; Ptrend=0.02). Total fish intake was inversely associated with cataract (for intake of ≥3/week vs. &lt;1/month: relative risk, 0.89; 95% CI: 0.81-0.98; Ptrend=0.01). It is suggested that higher intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) and consumption of fish may modestly reduce the risk of cataract.

N2  - Background: Numerous studies have examined the effect of low and adequate intakes of copper on absorption and retention, but little information is available on the regulation of absorption and retention of copper when intake is high. Objective: A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on copper absorption, retention, and homeostasis. Design: Nine men were confined to a metabolic research unit (MRU) for 18 d and were fed a 3-d rotating menu containing an average of 1.6 mg Cu/d. They continued the study under free-living conditions for 129 d, supplementing their usual diets with 7 mg Cu/d. They then returned to the MRU for 18 d and consumed the same diet as during the first period, except that copper intake was 7.8 mg/d. The stable isotope 63Cu was fed to 3 subjects and infused into the other 6 on day 7 of each MRU period, and complete urine and stool collections were made throughout the study. Total copper and 63Cu were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Copper absorption, excretion, and retention were calculated on the basis of dietary, urinary, and fecal copper and 63Cu. Results: Results were as follows when comparing the high copper intake with the usual intake: fractional copper absorption was significantly lower, but the amount absorbed was significantly higher; excretion of the infused 63Cu was significantly faster; and total retention was significantly higher. Conclusions: Homeostatic regulation of copper absorption and retention helped to minimize the amount of copper retained with high copper intake but was not sufficient to prevent retention of &gt;0.6 mg Cu/d.

N2  - The brain is enriched with sphingolipids, which are important membrane constituents and major lipid signalling molecules that have a role in motor and cognitive behaviour. Vitamin K has been implicated in brain sphingolipid metabolism for more than 30 years. The in vitro and in vivo studies to date suggest a role of vitamin K in the regulation of multiple enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism within the myelin-rich regions in the brain. However, the precise mechanisms of action are not well understood. Further, the physiological consequences of the observed effects of vitamin K on sphingolipid metabolism have not been systematically studied.

N2  - The study compared dietary and lifestyle practices of 5689 adults in the US Department of Agriculture's Diet and Health Knowledge Survey conducted in 1994 to 1996. The adults were grouped based on their attitudes toward the importance of nutrition when buying food. A high percentage of women (69.8%) than men (55.2%) reported that nutrition was very important to them when buying food. Household income and educational status did not affect their nutrition attitude. After controlling for age, sex, and other socioeconomic and demographic variables, adults who considered nutrition very important had a lower energy intake and consumed more nutritious foods such as fruits, nonstarchy vegetables, and fluid milk than their counterparts. They read food labels and adopted several dietary fat reduction strategies. The adults who did not consider nutrition very important were 21% more likely to watch television for more than 2 hours a day, 38% more likely to be a smoker, and 32% less likely to exercise. In conclusion, the adults who placed importance on nutrition were also likely to practice a healthful lifestyle. Health interventions should include a nutrition component emphasizing the importance of good nutrition.

AB  - With the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) nearly complete, there are concerns that the easy gains in efficiency have been achieved and that additional steps towards the economic integration of the member countries are required. This poses a distinct challenge to the NAFTA governments, since the agreement did not create multinational institutions with the supranational authority to facilitate the deepening of the new trading environment. In any initiative to further the economic integration of the NAFTA countries, agriculture will be a difficult sector in which to make progress. However, at an aggregate level, the support provided directly to agricultural producers by the NAFTA governments is similar, as are tariffs at an aggregate level. All three countries have devised income support programmes that contain a countercyclical element. In each of these areas, as well as in the operation of ‘green box’ programmes that are consistent with the member countries’ obligations to the World Trade Organization, cooperation and consultation among the NAFTA members would seem crucial if they are to achieve greater integration in the agrifood sector. This article examines the opportunities and challenges facing the NAFTA members as they seek further integration in the agrifood sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article provides a farm sector comparison of levels of capital input for fourteen OECD countries for the period 1973 to 2002. The starting point for construction of a measure of capital input is the measurement of capital stock. Estimates of depreciable capital are derived by representing capital stock at each point of time as a weighted sum of past investments. The weights correspond to the relative efficiencies of capital goods of different ages, so that the weighted components of capital stock have the same efficiency. Estimates of the stock of land are derived from balance sheet data. We convert estimates of capital stock into estimates of capital service flows by means of capital rental prices. Comparisons of levels of capital input among countries require data on relative prices of capital input. We obtain relative price levels for capital input via relative investment goods prices, taking into account the flow of capital input per unit of capital stock in each country.

AB  - Diphenylamine sulfate (DPAS) and diphenylamine hydrochloride (DPACl) salts were found to be highly active catalysts for esterification and substantial transesterification of inexpensive greases to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). In the presence of catalytic amounts of DPAS or DPACl and excess methanol, the free fatty acids as well as the acylglycerols in waste greases were converted to FAME at 125 °C within 1 h. Although the DPAS and DPACl catalysts were found to have similar catalytic activities to their parent liquid acids (i.e., sulfuric and hydrochloric acids) the diphenylammonium salts are much easier to work with than concentrated liquid acids.

AB  - Call rates on both a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) basis and an animal basis are used as measures of data quality and as screening tools for genomic studies and evaluations of dairy cattle. To investigate the relationship of SNP call rate and genotype accuracy for individual SNP, the correlation between percentages of missing genotypes and parent-progeny conflicts for each SNP was calculated for 103,313 Holsteins. Correlations ranged from 0.14 to 0.38 for the BovineSNP50 and BovineLD (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) and GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (Neogen Corp., Lincoln, NE) chips, with lower correlations for newer chips. For US genomic evaluations, genotypes are excluded for animals with a call rate of <90% across autosomal SNP or <80% across X-specific SNP. Mean call rate for 220,175 Holstein, Jersey, and Brown Swiss genotypes was 99.6%. Animal genotypes with a call rate of ≤99% were examined from the US Department of Agriculture genotype database to determine how genotype call rate is related to accuracy of calls on an animal basis. Animal call rate was determined from SNP used in genomic evaluation and is the number of called autosomal and X-specific SNP genotypes divided by the number of SNP from that type of chip. To investigate the relationship of animal call rate and parentage validation, conflicts between a genotyped animal and its sire or dam were determined through a duo test (opposite homozygous SNP genotypes between sire and progeny; 1,374 animal genotypes) and a trio test (also including conflicts with dam and heterozygous SNP genotype for the animal when both parents are the same homozygote; 482 animal genotypes). When animal call rate was ≤80%, parentage validation was no longer reliable with the duo test. With the trio test, parentage validation was no longer reliable when animal call rate was ≤90%. To investigate how animal call rate was related to genotyping accuracy for animals with multiple genotypes, concordance between genotypes for 1,216 animals that had a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (low call rate) as well as a genotype with a call rate of ≤99% (high call rate) were calculated by dividing the number of identical SNP genotype calls by the number of SNP that were called for both genotypes. Mean concordance between low- and high-call genotypes was >99% for a low call rate of >90% but decreased to 97% for a call rate of 86 to 90% and to 58% for a call rate of <60%. Edits on call rate reduce the use of incorrect SNP genotypes to calculate genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A 4-unit dual-flow continuous culture fermentor system was used to evaluate the effects of supplementing fresh herbage with a total mixed ration (TMR) or flax-seed on nutrient digestibility, fermentation profile, and bacterial N synthesis. Diets were randomly assigned to fermentors in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Each fermentor was fed a total of 70 g of dry matter/d of 1 of 4 diets: (1) 100% freeze-dried orchardgrass herbage (Dactylis glomerata L.; HERB), (2) 100% freeze-dried TMR (100TMR), (3) 50% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 50% TMR (50TMR), or (4) 90% orchardgrass herbage supplemented with 10% ground flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.; FLAX). Preplanned, single degree of freedom orthogonal contrasts were constructed to assess the effects of feeding system (HERB vs. 100TMR), herbage supplementation (HERB vs. 50TMR + FLAX), and herbage supplemental source (50TMR vs. FLAX). Compared with the HERB diet, the 100TMR diet significantly reduced apparent digestibility of neutral detergent fiber. Herbage supplementation with 50TMR or FLAX significantly reduced or tended to reduce apparent digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber, suggesting that replacing high-quality, highly digestible fresh herbage with forage TMR likely caused depressions in nutrient digestibilities. Concentration of total volatile fatty acids, molar proportions of acetate, propionate, and isovalerate, as well as the acetate:propionate ratios were all significantly higher in fermentors fed 100TMR compared with HERB, likely in response to enhanced supply of fermentable energy. In general, feeding system, herbage supplementation, and type of supplementation did not affect N metabolism in the present study. The few significant changes in N metabolism (e.g., flows of total N and non-NH3-N) were primarily linked to increased fermentor N supply with feeding herbage-based diets (HERB and FLAX). Although TMR-based diets decreased nutrient digestibility slightly, TMR offered advantages in bacterial fermentation in relation to volatile fatty acid production, which could potentially translate into better animal performance. Flaxseed shows promise as an alternative supplement for herbage-based diets; however, further in vivo evaluation is needed to determine the optimal level to optimize animal production while reducing feed costs.

AB  - A 3-yr study evaluated the carryover effects of dairy heifer grazing experience on behavior and first-lactation performance as dairy cows. Forty-one Holstein and 23 Holstein-Jersey crossbred calves born between January and April 2008 were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (n = 8 per group, 2 groups per treatment) in a completely randomized design. Treatments were combinations of managing dairy heifers in confinement (CNF) or on pasture (PST): grazed yr 1 and 2 (PSTPST); grazed yr 1, but confined yr 2 (PSTCNF); confined yr 1 and grazed yr 2 (CNFPST); or confined yr 1 and 2 (CNFCNF). After calving, all heifers on all treatments were grazed as cows in yr 3. In yr 1, PSTPST and PSTCNF heifers were grazed for 41 d on Italian ryegrass pastures, whereas CNFPST and CNFCNF were housed in bedded-pack pens and fed a TMR. In yr 2, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers grazed Italian ryegrass pasture for 65 d, whereas PSTCNF and CNFCNF remained in confinement. In yr 2, a mid-trial assessment of heifer grazing behavior was made on PSTPST versus CNFPST heifers. Grazing activities were assessed by visual observation and heifer movement measured by portable global positioning system units. Heifers from all treatment groups subsequently calved between January and April in yr 3. All primiparous cows were then allocated to pastures by treatment group, grazed for 61 d, (May through July) in yr 3, with grazing behavior and milk production evaluated while grazing. In yr 2, heifers on the PSTPST treatment spent more time grazing than heifers on the CNFPST treatment (78 vs. 35% of the time) when first exposed to pasture (d 1). On d 1 to 3, PSTPST heifers walked a greater distance than CNFPST heifers; however, PSTPST and CNFPST heifers had similar daily grazing times and walking patterns after 3 d of pasture exposure in yr 2. As lactating cows (yr 3), cows with no (CNFCNF) grazing experience grazed less on d 1 compared with cows with (PSTPST, PSTCNF, or CNFPST) grazing experience. Day-1 grazing times in yr 3 were 62, 59, 76, and 13% of the times for cows with PSTPST, PSTCNF, CNFPST, and CNFCNF grazing experience, respectively. In yr 3, on d 1 to 3, cows with previous grazing experience as heifers (PSTPST, CNFPST, and PSTCNF) walked a greater distance than cows without previous grazing experience (CNFCNF). Milk production was lowest on d 1 to 3 for cows with no previous grazing experience (CNFCNF), but average daily milk production was not different overall over the 61 d of study in yr 3. Results indicate that grazing experiences as a heifer can affect behavior and milk production during a cow's first days on pasture. After a short acclimation period, dairy cows without grazing experience as heifers developed similar grazing behaviors and performance as cows with grazing experience as heifers.

T1  - In situ protein degradation of alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil hays and silages as influenced by condensed tannin concentration.

AB  - Dairy cattle often make poor use of protein when offered diets comprising high proportions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay or silage because nonprotein N formed during forage conservation and ruminal fermentation exceeds requirements for rumen microbial protein synthesis; however, condensed tannins (CT) may reduce proteolysis in the silo and in the rumen, thereby potentially improving the efficiency of crude protein (CP) use in ruminant diets. Two harvests, yielding 12 hays and 12 silages made from alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) that varied in concentrations of CT, were evaluated for in situ disappearance kinetics of CP in 6 ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein dairy cows (627 ± 56.3 kg). Prior to conservation, alfalfa contained no detectable CT, whereas CT in fresh lyophilized birdsfoot trefoil ranged from 1.16 to 2.77% of dry matter, as determined by a modified acetone-butanol-HCl assay. Percentages of CP remaining at each incubation time were fitted to nonlinear regression models with or without a discrete lag time. Effective ruminal disappearance of CP (rumen-degradable protein, RDP) was calculated by 3 procedures that included (1) no discrete lag (RDPNL), (2) discrete lag (RDPL), and (3) discrete lag with a lag adjustment (RDPLADJ). Regardless of the calculation method, RDP declined linearly with increasing CT concentrations (R² = 0.62 to 0.97). Generally, tests of homogeneity showed that conservation type (hay or silage) or harvest (silage only) affected intercepts, but not slopes in regressions of RDP on CT. A positive relationship between lag time and CT suggests that the RDPLADJ approach may be most appropriate for calculating RDP for legumes containing tannins. With this approach, regression intercepts were mainly affected by conservation method, and RDPLADJ averaged 77.5 and 88.7% of CP for hay and silage, respectively, when no CT was present. Greater estimates of RDP for silages were related to extensive proteolysis in laboratory silos resulting in conversions of protein into nonprotein N forms, which readily washed out of Dacron bags. When RDPLADJ and CT were expressed on a CP basis, regression slopes indicated that each unit of CT protected 0.61 units of CP from ruminal degradation in hays and silages. Applying this relationship to a typical mid-maturity forage legume containing 21% CP suggests that a CT concentration of 3.8% of DM would be required to reduce RDP from 81% to a 70% target considered optimal for improving protein utilization and milk yields by dairy cattle.

AB  - Haplotypes are available for 220,671 Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Jersey bulls and cows that received genomic evaluations in August 2012. Differences in least squares means of direct genomic values (DGV) for paternal and maternal haplotypes of Bos taurus autosomes 1, 6, 14, and 18 for lifetime net merit were significant in all but one case. Those chromosomes were chosen to represent cases with and without known quantitative trait loci, and other chromosomes may differ as well. Paternal haplotypes had higher DGV than maternal haplotypes in most cases, and differences were larger when quantitative trait loci were present. Longer chromosomes generally accounted for more variance than shorter chromosomes, and differences among breeds were consistent with known mutations of large effect. For example, Bos taurus autosome 18 accounted for 2.5, 7, and 2.6% of the variance in lifetime net merit for Brown Swiss (BS), Holsteins, and Jerseys, respectively. Distributions of the number of positive DGV inherited from sires and dams were negatively skewed in all breeds, and modes were slightly higher for paternally than maternally derived haplotypes in Holsteins and BS (22 vs. 20 and 22 vs. 21, respectively) and slightly lower in BS (17 vs. 19). Graphical representations of DGV are available to all users through a query on the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (ARS, USDA, Beltsville, MD) web site. Query results were also used to illustrate several quantitative genetic principles using genotype information from real animals. For example, offspring DGV can be compared with parental DGV to demonstrate that a parent transmits the average value of its 2 chromosomes to its progeny. The frequency of DGV with positive and negative values in animals of different ages can be used to show how selection affects allele frequencies. The effect of selection for alleles with large effects versus those with small effects is demonstrated using an animal with undesirable alleles for a marker with a large effect but many desirable alleles for markers with small effects. Strategies for the use of those data in selection programs are being studied, and work is underway to add data on conformation traits to the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Unstable weather, poor drying conditions, and unpredictable rainfall events often place valuable hay crops at risk. Recent research with large round bales composed of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) has shown that these large-bale packages are particularly sensitive to spontaneous heating and dry matter (DM) losses, as well as other undesirable changes with respect to forage fiber, protein, and energy density. Various formulations of organic acids have been marketed as preservatives, normally for use on hays that are not desiccated adequately in the field to facilitate safe bale storage. Our objectives for this study were to (1) evaluate the efficacy of applying a commercial (buffered) propionic acid-based preservative at 3 rates (0, 0.6, and 1.0% of wet-bale weight) to hays baled at 3 moisture concentrations (19.6, 23.8, and 27.4%) on the subsequent storage characteristics and poststorage nutritive value of alfalfa-orchardgrass forages packaged in large rectangular (285-kg) bales, and then (2) evaluate the in vivo digestibility of these hays in growing lambs. Over a 73-d storage period, the preservative was effective at limiting spontaneous heating in these hays, and a clear effect of application rate was observed for the wettest (27.4%) bales. For drier hays, both acid-application rates (1.0 and 0.6%) yielded comparable reductions in heating degree days >30°C relative to untreated controls. Reductions in spontaneous heating could not be associated with improved recovery of forage DM after storage. In this study, most changes in nutritive value during storage were related to measures of spontaneous heating in simple linear regression relationships; this suggests that the modest advantages in nutritive value resulting from acid treatment were largely associated with perturbations of normal heating patterns during bale storage. Although somewhat erratic, apparent digestibilities of both DM (Y = -0.0080x + 55.6; R² = 0.45) and organic matter (Y = -0.0085x + 55.5; R² = 0.53) evaluated in growing lambs were also directly related to heating degree days in simple linear relationships. Based on these data, applying propionic acid-based preservatives to large rectangular bales is likely to provide good insurance against spontaneous heating during storage, as well as modest benefits with respect to nutritive value and digestibility.

AB  - Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cake (PCSC) that was heated and oil largely removed by an experimental extrusion process, compared with upland cottonseed (UCS) and Pima cottonseed (PCS). The PCS had greater crude protein (CP) and ether extract, less neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), similar total gossypol, but higher (-)-gossypol isomer compared with UCS. Extrusion reduced lipid content by 73%, increased concentrations of CP, NDF, and ADF, and reduced total gossypol, (+)-gossypol, and (-)-gossypol in PCSC versus PCS. Forty lactating Holsteins (8 with ruminal cannulas) were blocked by days in milk into 5 squares in a replicated, incomplete 8 x 8 Latin square, and were fed diets containing, on a dry matter (DM) basis, 30% alfalfa silage, 31% corn silage, 21 to 25% high-moisture corn, and about 15% CP. Diets were fed as total mixed rations for ad libitum intake. Supplemental CP was from (1) solvent soybean meal (SSBM) only or 50% from SSBM plus 50% from (2) UCS, (3) PCS, (4) PCSC, (5) UCS plus PCS, and (6) UCS plus PCSC, or (7) 50% from expeller soybean meal (ESBM) plus 50% from PCS, and (8) 50% from ESBM plus 50% from PCSC. Periods were 4 wk long (total of 16 wk); production data were collected over the last 2 wk and blood and ruminal samples were taken on d 28 of each period. Data were analyzed using Proc Mixed of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Diet affected dry matter intake, with greatest intake on diet 6 and lowest intake on diets 1 and 3. The highest milk fat content was observed on diet 5 and the greatest fat yield on diet 7; fat content and yield were lowest on diet 1 (soybean meal control). Milk fat secretion was proportional to dietary fat content, indicating that cottonseed oil was used effectively for milk fat synthesis. We observed a trend for an effect on milk protein yield with the greatest protein secretion occurring on diet 7. Milk urea was lowest on diets 3, 7, and 8. Ruminal concentrations of branched-chain volatile fatty acids were lower, or tended to be lower, when PCSC replaced either UCS or PCS in the diet, suggesting reduced degradation and increased escape of PCSC protein. Among cottonseed-containing diets, total gossypol intake was lowest on PCSC, intermediate on PCS, and highest on UCS. Total gossypol and both (+)- and (-)-isomers of gossypol were higher in blood plasma on PCS and lower on PCSC than on the corresponding diets containing UCS, indicating that the extrusion process reduced gossypol absorption. In this trial, production on diets supplemented with UCS, PCS, or PCSC was comparable to that on diets containing soybean meal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective was to conduct a study to investigate if violative meat residues are detected in very young bob veal calves that are fed first-milking colostrum harvested from cows that were dry treated, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine. First-milking colostrum was collected from cows that were given intramammary treatment at dry off, on-label, with cephapirin benzathine (ToMORROW, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc., St. Joseph, MO). Newborn bull calves meeting study inclusion criteria were removed from their dams shortly after birth and before suckling, and assigned to 1 of 2 trials. For the first trial, 6 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of a plasma-derived colostrum replacer (Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer, VitaPlus Inc., Madison, WI) within 1 h after birth. For the second trial, 5 treated calves were fed 3.8 L of fresh maternal colostrum and 1 control calf was fed 1.5 doses of Secure Calf Colostrum Replacer within 1 h after birth. All calves were humanely euthanized at 24 h (trial 1) or 48 h (trial 2) of age, and tissues were harvested for antimicrobial residue testing. Samples of maternal colostrum and colostrum replacer were also submitted for antimicrobial residue testing. Kidneys collected from all study calves tested negative for cephapirin benzathine residues when using both the KIS assay (Charm Sciences, Lawrence, MA) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The potential transfer of cephapirin from cows treated on-label at dry off to calves via colostrum may not be a significant source of cephapirin residues in veal tissues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Under physiological conditions the gut-associated lymphoid tissues not only prevent the induction of a local inflammatory immune response, but also induce systemic tolerance to fed antigens. A notable exception is coeliac disease, where genetically susceptible individuals expressing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules develop inflammatory T-cell and antibody responses against dietary gluten, a protein present in wheat. The mechanisms underlying this dysregulated mucosal immune response to a soluble antigen have not been identified. Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A, has been shown to have a critical role in the induction of intestinal regulatory responses. Here we find in mice that in conjunction with IL-15, a cytokine greatly upregulated in the gut of coeliac disease patients, retinoic acid rapidly activates dendritic cells to induce JNK (also known as MAPK8) phosphorylation and release the proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p70 and IL-23. As a result, in a stressed intestinal environment, retinoic acid acted as an adjuvant that promoted rather than prevented inflammatory cellular and humoral responses to fed antigen. Altogether, these findings reveal an unexpected role for retinoic acid and IL-15 in the abrogation of tolerance to dietary antigens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The aims of this study were, firstly, to compare five published methods for the isolation of Arcobacter spp. from animal feces in order to determine the most sensitive and specific method. Second, we analyzed the resulting isolates by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in order to investigate the diversity of the isolates recovered. Third, we investigated the ability to recover Arcobacter spp. from frozen fecaf samples. Seventy-seven fecal samples from cattle, sheep, and badgers were subjected to five isolation methods, based on published methods for the isolation of Arcobacter and Campylobacter spp. Thirty-nine Arcobacter butzleri isolates were analyzed using a multilocus sequence typing scheme. The survival of Arcobacter spp. in frozen samples was investigated by freezing the fecal samples at -80°C for 7 days and then applying the same five isolation methods. The most sensitive and specific method used anArcobacter-specific broth in conjunction with modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (mCCDA) with added antibiotics. Freezing of fecal samples led to a reduction in the recovery of Arcobacter spp. by approximately 50%. The 39 allelic profiles obtained by MLST could be divided into 11 sequence types (ST5). We have identified the most sensitive and specific method for the isolation of Arcobacter spp. from animal feces and demonstrated that the freezing of fecal samples prior to isolation reduces arcobacter recovery. MLST analysis of the isolates revealed a high level of diversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Off-farm work is a growing reality in the US agricultural sector as a whole. Another staple program in the US agriculture is the use of crop insurance. This paper assesses hitherto unaddressed issues of fuel consumption and hence pollution generated by farm households associated with off-farm work and crop insurance. We applied a quantile regression method on a unique national farm-level survey data to address the fuel consumption issues. Results indicate that off-farm work by operators tends to decrease fuel expenses. In contrast, households with crop insurance had higher fuel consumption thereby increasing fuel usage.

AB  - We tested the stability and tick transmission phenotype of transformed Anaplasma marginale through a complete in vivo infection cycle. Similar to the wild type, the gfp-transformed A. marginale strain established infection in cattle, a natural reservoir host, and persisted in immune competent animals. The tick infection rates for the transformed A. marginale and the wild type were the same. However, there were significantly lower levels of the transformed A. marginale than of the wild type in the tick. Despite the lower levels of replication, ticks transmitted the transformant. Transformants can serve as valuable tools to dissect the molecular requirements of tick colonization and pathogen transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Conservation of biodiversity on forest landscapes dominated by plantations has become an increasingly important topic, and opportunities to maintain or enhance biodiversity within these forests need to be recognized and applied. Riparian buffers of mature forest retained along streams in managed forest landscapes offer an opportunity to enhance biodiversity across these landscapes. However, influence of buffer width and structure of adjacent plantations on habitat use by birds is not well understood. We modeled probability of occupancy, while accounting for variable detection probabilities, for 16 bird species of regional conservation importance in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, USA. We examined occurrence of breeding birds in streamside management zone (SMZ) buffers embedded in three structural classes of pine plantation: young open-canopy, closed-canopy, and older thinned plantations. Our occupancy models included a positive association with SMZ width for nine bird species associated with mature forests. Models for three early successional species (prairie warbler [ Dendroica discolor], white-eyed vireo [ Vireo griseus], and northern bobwhite [ Colinus virginianus]) included a negative association with SMZ width. Occupancy models for Acadian flycatcher ( Empidonax virescens), summer tanager ( Piranga rubra), pine warbler ( Dendroica pinus), prairie warbler, and northern bobwhite also included structural condition of adjacent plantations, but most species did not appear affected by condition of surrounding plantations. We found diverse responses among species to width of retained SMZs and structure of adjacent plantations; some species apparently benefitted from SMZs >100 m wide, while others benefitted from narrow buffers. Furthermore, most species traditionally associated with mature forests were common in narrow SMZs, regardless of width. Thus, optimal width of SMZs relative to avian conservation depends on the species of greatest conservation interest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite considerable study, it remains uncertain what environmental factors contribute to red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) foliar winter injury and how much this injury influences tree C stores. We used a long-term record of winter injury in a plantation in New Hampshire and conducted stepwise linear regression analyses with local weather and regional pollution data to determine which parameters helped account for observed injury. Two types of weather phenomena were consistently associated with elevated injury: (i) measures of low-temperature stress that incite injury and (ii) factors that reduced the length of the growing season and predisposed trees to injury. At this plantation, there was a significant linear relationship between winter injury and growth reductions for 2 years after a severe winter injury event. Analysis using data from three New England states indicated that plantation data reflected a regional response. Using regional data, we estimated a reduction of 394 000 metric tons of C sequestered in living red spruce stems ≥20 cm in diameter growing in New York and northern New England during the 2 years following a severe winter injury event. This is a conservative estimate of reduced C sequestration because injury-induced mortality and other factors were not evaluated. Malgré le nombre considérable d'études, on ne sait toujours pas avec certitude quels facteurs environnementaux contribuent aux dommages foliaires qui surviennent durant l'hiver chez l'épinette rouge (Picea rubens Sarg.), ni à quel point ces dommages influencent les réservoirs de C dans l'arbre. Nous avons utilisé des relevés à long terme des dommages qui sont survenus durant l'hiver dans une plantation du New Hampshire et nous avons effectué des analyses de régression linéaire pas à pas avec les données météorologiques locales et les données régionales de pollution pour déterminer quels paramètres permettaient d'expliquer les dommages observés. Deux types de phénomène météorologique étaient invariablement associés à des dommages sévères : (i) des mesures de stress dûà de basses températures et (ii) des facteurs qui réduisent la durée de la saison de croissance et prédisposent les arbres aux dommages. Dans cette plantation, il y avait une relation linéaire significative entre les dommages survenus pendant l'hiver et les réductions de croissance pendant les deux années suivant un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. L'analyse des données provenant de trois tats de la Nouvelle-Angleterre indiquent que les données de la plantation reflètent une réponse régionale. À l'aide de données régionales, nous avons estimé que la séquestration de C dans les tiges d'épinette rouge ≥20 cm de diamètre était réduite de 394 000 tonnes métriques dans l'État de New York et le nord de la Nouvelle-Angleterre au cours des années qui ont suivi un épisode de dommages sévères dus au froid. Il s'agit d'une estimation conservatrice de la réduction de la séquestration de C parce que la mortalité causée par les dommages dus au froid et les autres facteurs n'a pas été évaluée.

AB  - Many serious ecosystem consequences of climate change will take decades or even centuries to emerge. Long-term ecological responses to global change are strongly regulated by slow processes, such as changes in species composition, carbon dynamics in soil and by long-lived plants, and accumulation of nutrient capitals. Understanding and predicting these processes require experiments on decadal time scales. But decadal experiments by themselves may not be adequate because many of the slow processes have characteristic time scales much longer than experiments can be maintained. This article promotes a coordinated approach that combines long-term, large-scale global change experiments with process studies and modeling. Long-term global change manipulative experiments, especially in high-priority ecosystems such as tropical forests and high-latitude regions, are essential to maximize information gain concerning future states of the earth system. The long-term experiments should be conducted in tandem with complementary process studies, such as those using model ecosystems, species replacements, laboratory incubations, isotope tracers, and greenhouse facilities. Models are essential to assimilate data from long-term experiments and process studies together with information from long-term observations, surveys, and space-for-time studies along environmental and biological gradients. Future research programs with coordinated long-term experiments, process studies, and modeling have the potential to be the most effective strategy to gain the best information on long-term ecosystem dynamics in response to global change.

AB  - In human-populated landscapes, dogs (Canis familiaris) are often the most abundant terrestrial carnivore. However, dogs can significantly disrupt or modify intact ecosystems well beyond the areas occupied by people. Few studies have directly quantified the environmental or economic effects of free-roaming and feral dogs. Here, we review wildlife-dog interactions and provide a case study that focuses on interactions documented from our research in Mongolia to underscore the need for studies designed to best determine how dogs affect native wildlife and especially imperiled populations. We suggest additional research, public awareness campaigns, and the exclusion of dogs from critical wildlife habitat. The application of scientific findings to management and enhanced public outreach programs will not only facilitate recovery and maintenance of wildlife populations globally but also has the potential to reduce economic losses.

AB  - Abstract: Wellbores represent the weakest link in terms of CO2 storage permanence. As a result, special attention to the numerous existing wells that perforate storage formations is needed. The pre-injection condition of the cement can influence the rate (and type) of alteration by the injected CO2 plume. The condition of the existing well cement depends on a variety of factors including wellbore/formation and wellbore/brine interactions as well as the composition and type of cement placed in the well (i.e. type of admixtures used, water/solids ratio, sulfate resistant mixes, etc.). In this paper, the details of recovering wellbore cement from an older well to determine pre-injection seal integrity are described. Petrographical and chemical analyses are presented for samples of cement that were retrieved from a 19-year-old well at Teapot Dome in Wyoming. Examination revealed that the retrieved cement had altered as a result of original slurry composition and with respect to the local downhole wellbore environment. Although samples were obtained from a single well, significant differences were observed in their alteration and condition. Sulfate attack resulted in abundant ettringite formation in a cement sample taken adjacent to the Wall Creek sandstone (3060ft), while cement taken adjacent to the Tensleep formation (5478ft) was decalcified and enriched in magnesium, owing to reaction of calcium hydroxide in the cement with the dolomitic formation.

AB  - Despite a significant growth in food production over the past half-century, one of the most important challenges facing society today is how to feed an expected population of some nine billion by the middle of the 20th century. To meet the expected demand for food without significant increases in prices, it has been estimated that we need to produce 70-100 per cent more food, in light of the growing impacts of climate change, concerns over energy security, regional dietary shifts and the Millennium Development target of halving world poverty and hunger by 2015. The goal for the agricultural sector is no longer simply to maximize productivity, but to optimize across a far more complex landscape of production, rural development, environmental, social justice and food consumption outcomes. However, there remain significant challenges to developing national and international policies that support the wide emergence of more sustainable forms of land use and efficient agricultural production. The lack of information flow between scientists, practitioners and policy makers is known to exacerbate the difficulties, despite increased emphasis upon evidence-based policy. In this paper, we seek to improve dialogue and understanding between agricultural research and policy by identifying the 100 most important questions for global agriculture. These have been compiled using a horizon-scanning approach with leading experts and representatives of major agricultural organizations worldwide. The aim is to use sound scientific evidence to inform decision making and guide policy makers in the future direction of agricultural research priorities and policy support. If addressed, we anticipate that these questions will have a significant impact on global agricultural practices worldwide, while improving the synergy between agricultural policy, practice and research. This research forms part of the UK Government's Foresight Global Food and Farming Futures project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Tamarisk species (genus Tamarix), also commonly known as saltcedar, are among the most successful plant invaders in the western United States. At the same time, tamarisk has been cited as having enormous economic costs. Accordingly, local, state, and federal agencies have undertaken considerable efforts to eradicate this invasive plant and restore riparian habitats to pre-invasion status. Traditional eradication methods, including herbicide treatments, are now considered undesirable, because they are costly and often have unintended negative impacts on native species. A new biological control agent, the saltcedar leaf beetle (Diorhabda elongata), has been released along many watersheds in the western US, to reduce the extent of tamarisk cover in riparian areas. However, the use of this insect as a biological control agent may have unintended ecological, hydrological, and socioeconomic consequences that need to be anticipated by land managers and stakeholders undertaking restoration efforts. Here, we examine the possible ramifications of tamarisk control and offer recommendations to reduce potential negative impacts on valued riparian systems in the western US. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study on the effects of particle size on chemical speciation and bioavailability of copper to earthworms when exposed to copper nanoparticles. It investigates the role of particle size on the oxidation, bioavailability, and adverse effects of manufactured copper nanoparticles by exposing the earthworm on a series of concentration of commercially produced nanoparticles labeled as 20- to 40-nanometer copper in artificial soil media. The study suggests that oxidized copper nanoparticles may enter food chains from soil but adverse effects in earthworms are likely to occur only at relatively high concentrations.

AB  - An understanding of the extent of land degradation and recovery is necessary to guide land-use policy and management, yet currently available land-quality assessments are widely known to be inadequate. Here, we present the results of the first statistically based application of a new approach to national assessments that integrates scientific and local knowledge. Qualitative observations completed at over 10000 plots in the United States showed that while soil degradation remains an issue, loss of biotic integrity is more widespread. Quantitative soil and vegetation data collected at the same locations support the assessments and serve as a baseline for monitoring the effectiveness of policy and management initiatives, including responses to climate change. These results provide the information necessary to support strategic decisions by land managers and policy makers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The two tests for spatial error components are the Kelejian-Robinson (KR) test and the LM test developed by Anselin (2001). We develop a new form for the LM test which facilitates comparisons to the KR test, and show why the LM test is superior. We develop a second test in the spirit of KR which overcomes this particular shortcoming, but in fact incurs a second shortcoming which renders it inferior even to the original KR test. We discuss this failure as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context. Wolf predation on livestock can cause economic hardship for livestock producers as well as reduce tolerance for wolves. Lethal control of wolves is often controversial; thus, development of effective non-lethal methods for reducing wolf–livestock conflict is important. Electrified fladry is a new tool that is similar to fladry (i.e. a barrier system that scares wolves), but electrified fladry also incorporates an electric shock designed to decrease the potential for wolves to habituate to the barriers. Aim. Evaluation of electrified fladry requires understanding of its effectiveness relative to fladry and the costs and benefits of applying it in the field. Methods. By using captive wolves, we compared the effectiveness of electrified fladry v. fladry for protecting a food resource during 2-week trials. We then performed a field trial with electrified fladry for managing wolves in Montana, USA. We measured livestock depredation and wolf activity on six treatment and six control pastures, calculated the cost of installation and maintenance, and surveyed all study participants about application of electrified fladry. Key results. We found electrified fladry 2–10 times more effective than fladry at protecting food in captivity and that hunger increased the likelihood of wolves testing fladry barriers. In field trials, we installed 14.0km of EF systems in treatment pastures and detected wolves twice in control pastures but never in the treatment pastures. No livestock were killed by wolves in treatment or control pastures. A completed electrified fladry system cost $2303 for the first km and $2032 for each additional km, and required 31.8 person-hours per kilometre to install. We observed 18 failures (i.e. electrified system stopped working) during a total of 394 days of use. In total, 83% of ranchers who used fladry would continue to use it under certain conditions, indicating some psychological benefit to users. Conclusions and implications. The present study has demonstrated that electrified fladry offers superior protection compared with non-electrified fladry; however, further field tests are warranted to help determine whether benefits outweigh costs.

AB  - Remarkable progress in optical microscopy has been made in the measurement of nanometre distances. If diffraction blurs the image of a point object into an Airy disk with a root-mean-squared (r.m.s.) size of s =  0.44λ/2NA (∼90 nm for light with a wavelength of λ = 600 nm and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of NA = 1.49), limiting the resolution of the far-field microscope in use to d = 2.4s ≈ 200 nm, additional knowledge about the specimen can be used to great advantage. For example, if the source is known to be two spatially resolved fluorescent molecules, the distance between them is given by the separation of the centres of the two fluorescence images. In high-resolution microwave and optical spectroscopy, there are numerous examples where the line centre is determined with a precision of less than 10−6 of the linewidth. In contrast, in biological applications the brightest single fluorescent emitters can be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼100, limiting the centroid localization precision to sloc ≥ 1% (≥1 nm) of the r.m.s. size, s, of the microscope point spread function (PSF). Moreover, the error in co-localizing two or more single emitters is notably worse, remaining greater than 5–10% (5–10 nm) of the PSF size. Here we report a distance resolution of sreg = 0.50 nm (1σ) and an absolute accuracy of sdistance = 0.77 nm (1σ) in a measurement of the separation between differently coloured fluorescent molecules using conventional far-field fluorescence imaging in physiological buffer conditions. The statistical uncertainty in the mean for an ensemble of identical single-molecule samples is limited only by the total number of collected photons, to sloc ≈ 0.3 nm, which is ∼3 × 10−3 times the size of the optical PSF. Our method may also be used to improve the resolution of many subwavelength, far-field imaging methods such as those based on co-localization of molecules that are stochastically switched on in space. The improved resolution will allow the structure of large, multisubunit biological complexes in biologically relevant environments to be deciphered at the single-molecule level.

AB  - Along with others, we recognize the impact of human action on environmental quality. At the same time, we note that businesses have entered the 'green market'. The goal of this paper is to open a discussion about green marketing. We raise questions regarding how firm governance impacts the ability of firms to incorporate environmental objectives into profit maximization. Additionally, we discuss the green marketing strategies that firms have chosen to use, as well as public and private options available for eco-label monitoring and enforcement to avoid additional consumer confusion.

AB  - The relationship between water transport and photosynthesis represents the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss and was used to evaluate potential differences in water resource utilization among two dominant vegetation types of south Florida: subtropical evergreen broad leaf forests (hardwood hammocks) and pine woodlands (pine rocklands). We found consistent linear positive relationships between the quantum yield of photosystem II ( ϕPSII), an index of photosynthetic capacity, and hydraulic conductivity per sapwood area ( kS) and per leaf area ( kL) across all species. The slope of the ϕPSII– kS relationship was steeper for hardwood hammock than for pine rockland species. Mean ϕPSII was greater in pine rockland species and was greater for a given kL than in hardwood hammock species. These results are consistent with previous observations demonstrating that pine rocklands tend to have better access to stable water sources than hardwood hammocks. We also found greater photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination with increasing kS and kL in pine rockland species, but not in hardwood hammock species, suggesting increased stomatal conductance with increasing kS and kL, consistent with greater water availability in pine rockland habitats. Our study thus utilizes relationships between water transport and photosynthesis to evaluate hydraulic constraints on physiological function between two contrasting vegetation types with contrasting stability of water sources.

AB  - Abstract: This paper describes the potential impacts of warming temperatures and changing precipitation on plants, wildlife, invasive species, pests, and agricultural ecosystems across the multi-state region centered on Chicago, Illinois. We examine a geographic area that captures much of Lake Michigan, including a complex mosaic of urbanization and agriculture surrounding southern Lake Michigan. We consider species currently present within this broad region as well as species that are expected to move into or out of the area as climate zones shift northward through the coming century. Our analysis draws upon disparate data sources to compile projections. We conclude that a complex mixture of land use poses particular challenges to natural ecosystems in this region under climate change. Dispersal is likely to be limited for some species, and some populations of native taxa may already be reduced due to habitat loss. Other species can persist, even thrive, within a mixed landscape mosaic, provided natural areas and green spaces are available. If such spaces are somehow connected, they can provide opportunities for native species to inhabit and move through the metropolitan region (perhaps even better than the landscapes previously dominated by agriculture). Strategies for adapting regional agriculture and minimizing pest outbreaks also call for creative management intervention. With additional research, Chicago and its surrounding environs have an opportunity to provide leadership on effective management of natural resources under climate change. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Modern software development techniques are largely unknown to ecologists. Typically, ecological models and other software tools are developed for limited research purposes, and additional capabilities are added later, usually in an ad hoc manner. Modern software engineering techniques can substantially increase scientific rigor and confidence in ecological models and tools. These techniques have the potential to transform how ecological software is conceived and developed, improve precision, reduce errors, and increase scientific credibility. We describe our re-engineering of the forest landscape model LANDIS (LANdscape DIsturbance and Succession) to illustrate the advantages of using common software engineering practices.

AB  - Eriophyoid mites, which are among the smallest plant feeders, are characterized by the intimate relationships they have with their hosts and the restricted range of plants upon which they can reproduce. The knowledge of their true host ranges and mechanisms causing host specificity is fundamental to understanding mite-host interactions, potential mite-host coevolution, and diversity of this group, as well as to apply effective control strategies or to use them as effective biological control agents. The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge on host specificity and specialization in eriophyoid mites, and to point out knowledge gaps and doubts. Using available data on described species and recorded hosts we showed that: (1) 80% of eriophyoids have been reported on only one host species, 95% on one host genus, and 99% on one host family; (2) Diptilomiopidae has the highest proportion of monophagous species and Phytoptidae has the fewest; (3) non-monophagous eriophyoids show the tendency to infest closely related hosts; 4) vagrant eriophyoids have a higher proportion of monophagous species than refuge-seeking and refuge-inducing species; (5) the proportions of monophagous species infesting annual and perennial hosts are similar; however, many species infesting annual hosts have wider host ranges than those infesting perennial hosts; (6) the proportions of species that are monophagous infesting evergreen and deciduous plants are similar; (7) non-monophagous eriophyoid species have wider geographic distribution than monophagous species. Field and laboratory host-specificity tests for several eriophyoid species and their importance for biological control of weeds are described. Testing the actual host range of a given eriophyoid species, searching for ecological data, genetic differentiation analysis, and recognizing factors and mechanisms that contribute to host specificity of eriophyoid mites are suggested as future directions for research.

AB  - A considerable number of plant feeding mites representing different families such as Acaridae, Siteroptidae, Tydeidae, and Tarsonemidae interact with plant pathogenic fungi. While species within the Eriophyoidea appear to be the most common phytophagous mites vectoring virus diseases, little is known of their role in fungal pathogen epidemiology. In the present article, we present two studies on eriophyoid-fungal relationships. The first focusing on the association between Aceria mangiferae and the fungal pathogen Fusarium mangiferae in mango is presented as a case study. The second, as the research is still in a preliminary phase, reports on quantitative and descriptive associations between the cereal rust mite Abacarus hystrix and rusts caused by Puccinia spp. Mango bud tissue colonized with F. mangiferae, and wheat and quackgrass leaves colonized with Puccinia spp., supported significantly higher populations of eriophyoid mites. Both mite species were observed bearing the spores of the respective pathogens on their body integument. Aceria mangiferae vectored the pathogen's spores into the bud, the sole port of entry for the fungal pathogen and the frequency and severity of fungal infection increased in the presence of A. mangiferae. While it appears that eriophyoids are playing a role in fungal epidemiology, clearly further research is needed to enhance our understanding of direct and indirect (plant mediated) interactions between plant pathogens and eriophyoid mites in different plant-pathogen systems.

AB  - CD4+ T helper 2 (TH2) cells secrete interleukin (IL)4, IL5 and IL13, and are required for immunity to gastrointestinal helminth infections. However, TH2 cells also promote chronic inflammation associated with asthma and allergic disorders. The non-haematopoietic-cell-derived cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL33 and IL25 (also known as IL17E) have been implicated in inducing TH2 cell-dependent inflammation at mucosal sites, but how these cytokines influence innate immune responses remains poorly defined. Here we show that IL25, a member of the IL17 cytokine family, promotes the accumulation of a lineage-negative (Lin-) multipotent progenitor (MPP) cell population in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue that promotes TH2 cytokine responses. The IL25-elicited cell population, termed MPPtype2 cells, was defined by the expression of Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a) and intermediate expression of c-Kit (c-Kitint), and exhibited multipotent capacity, giving rise to cells of monocyte/macrophage and granulocyte lineages both in vitro and in vivo. Progeny of MPPtype2 cells were competent antigen presenting cells, and adoptive transfer of MPPtype2 cells could promote TH2 cytokine responses and confer protective immunity to helminth infection in normally susceptible Il25-/- mice. The ability of IL25 to induce the emergence of an MPPtype2 cell population identifies a link between the IL17 cytokine family and extramedullary haematopoiesis, and suggests a previously unrecognized innate immune pathway that promotes TH2 cytokine responses at mucosal sites.

AB  - Sequence polymorphisms in a 58-kilobase (kb) interval on chromosome 9p21 confer a markedly increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. The variants have a substantial effect on the epidemiology of CAD and other life-threatening vascular conditions because nearly one-quarter of Caucasians are homozygous for risk alleles. However, the risk interval is devoid of protein-coding genes and the mechanism linking the region to CAD risk has remained enigmatic. Here we show that deletion of the orthologous 70-kb non-coding interval on mouse chromosome 4 affects cardiac expression of neighbouring genes, as well as proliferation properties of vascular cells. Chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice are viable, but show increased mortality both during development and as adults. Cardiac expression of two genes near the non-coding interval, Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b, is severely reduced in chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice, indicating that distant-acting gene regulatory functions are located in the non-coding CAD risk interval. Allele-specific expression of Cdkn2b transcripts in heterozygous mice showed that the deletion affects expression through a cis-acting mechanism. Primary cultures of chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb aortic smooth muscle cells exhibited excessive proliferation and diminished senescence, a cellular phenotype consistent with accelerated CAD pathogenesis. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that the CAD risk interval has a pivotal role in regulation of cardiac Cdkn2a/b expression, and suggest that this region affects CAD progression by altering the dynamics of vascular cell proliferation.

AB  - Abstract: Habitat manipulation in agroecosystems can influence predator–prey interactions. In this study, we collected foliar predators from field potato plots with different mulch treatments and assayed them for DNA of the target prey, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), using species-specific primers. Concurrently, L. decemlineata larval abundance and plant damage were recorded from the same plots. Predator species abundance and diversity were not influenced by habitat manipulation, while prey density was highest in plots without mulch. Gut-content analysis revealed that the highest incidence of predators positive for L. decemlineata DNA was in plots without mulch, where target prey abundance was highest. Therefore, the lower prey abundance in mulched plots was not due to predation. The most abundant species in the predator assemblage was Coleomegilla maculata, which had the lowest proportion of L. decemlineata DNA in the gut. Podisus maculiventris, Perillus bioculatus, and Lebia grandis were less abundant but had a higher incidence of target prey DNA in the gut. DNA detectability half-lives were used to adjust for inter-specific variation in DNA digestive rates of the four predator species. Using this information to adjust actual number of positives for prey DNA, we compared proportions positive for L. decemlineata and found that P. maculiventris is the most effective predator species in the complex.

AB  - Zusammenfassung: Die Veränderung der Habitate in Agrarökosystemen kann die Räuber-Beute-Beziehungen verändern. In dieser Untersuchung sammelten wir Blattprädatoren aus dem Freiland von Kartoffelprobeflächen unterschiedlicher Mulchbehandlung und untersuchten sie auf die DNA der Zielbeuteart, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), indem wir artspezifische Primer verwendeten. Gleichzeitig wurden auf denselben Probeflächen die Abundanzen der Larven von L. decemlineata und die Schäden an den Pflanzen registriert. Die Abundanzen und Diversitäten der Prädatorarten wurden durch die Habitatveränderung nicht beeinflusst, während die Beutedichte auf den Flächen ohne Mulch am größten war. Die Analyse der Darminhalte ließ erkennen, dass das größte Vorkommen von Prädatoren mit einem Nachweis von L. decemlineata in den Flächen ohne Mulch auftrat, wo die Beuteabundanz am größten war. Deshalb war die geringere Beuteabundanz in den gemulchten Flächen nicht auf die Prädation zurückzuführen. Die häufigste Art in den Prädatorengemeinschaften war Coleomegilla maculata, die gleichzeitig den geringsten Anteil von L. decemlineata DNA im Darm besaß. Podisus maculiventris, Perillus bioculatus und Lebia grandis waren weniger häufig, hatten aber einen höheren Anteil an Zielbeute-DNA im Darm. Die Halbwertszeiten der DNA-Nachweisbarkeit wurde benutzt, um die interspezifische Variation in den DNA-Verdauungsraten bei den vier Prädatorenarten anzugleichen. Diese Informationen wurden verwendet, um die tatsächlichen Anzahlen der positiven Nachweise der Beute-DNA anzugleichen. Wir verglichen die Anteile der positiven Nachweise für L. decemlineata und fanden heraus, dass P. maculiventris der effektivste Prädator in dem Komplex ist. </ce:abst (German) [Copyright 2010 Elsevier]

AB  - Although many land managers prohibit grazing for 2 years after a fire, little research has been conducted to determine the interaction of grazing with vegetation recovery after fire. In a study conducted in sagebrush steppe rangelands after a 2000 wildfire at the United States Sheep Experiment Station in Idaho, the influence of delay and season of sheep grazing on vegetation recovery was measured. A moderate level of sheep grazing was started 1, 2, or 3 years after fire in the autumn or 2 or 3 years after fire in the spring. Pseudoroegneria spicata, the dominant perennial grass, and Crepis acuminata increased in the autumn and non-grazed treatments, whereas perennial forb and Crepis acuminata cover declined in the spring grazing treatments beginning the second year after fire. There was no impact of sheep grazing on cover of Bromus tectorum, an important exotic winter annual grass, probably owing to the lack of autumn germination. In this study, moderate sheep grazing had subtle impacts on vegetation recovery after fire, with spring grazing having more negative consequences. Management decisions on when to start grazing livestock after fire should consider pre-fire ecological conditions, post-fire climatic conditions, and current knowledge of impacts of grazing on plant recovery.

AB  - We identified four diagnostic microsatellite loci that distinguish spotted owls ( Strix occidentalis), barred owls ( Strix varia), F1 hybrids and backcrosses. Thirty-four out of 52 loci tested (65.4%) successfully amplified, and four of these loci (11.8%) had allele sizes that did not overlap between spotted and barred owls. The probability of correctly identifying a backcross with these four loci is 0.875. Genotyping potential hybrid owls with these markers revealed that field identifications were often wrong. Given the difficulty of identifying hybrids in the field, these markers will be useful for hybrid identification, law enforcement and spotted owl conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The two illustrations are similar by way they offer viewers a reflection of the real world yet different in how they are perceived. The painting, "Nighthawk," communicates human behavior evident in our daily life while the S&T diagram conveys basic principles of ecology and management.

AB  - Nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens affect a range of ecosystems, industries, and property owners in the United States. Evaluating temporal patterns in the accumulation of these nonindigenous forest pests can inform regulatory and policy decisions. We compiled a comprehensive species list to assess the accumulation rates of nonindigenous forest insects and pathogens established in the United States. More than 450 nonindigenous insects and at least 16 pathogens have colonized forest and urban trees since European settlement. Approximately 2.5 established nonindigenous forest insects per year were detected in the United States between 1860 and 2006. At least 14% of these insects and all 16 pathogens have caused notable damage to trees. Although sap feeders and foliage feeders dominated the comprehensive list, phloem- and wood-boring insects and foliage feeders were often more damaging than expected. Detections of insects that feed on phloem or wood have increased markedly in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Oxytetracycline (2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a major member of the tetracycline antibiotics family of which are widely administered to animals in concentrated animal feeding operations for purposes of therapeutical treatment and health protection. With the disposal of animal manure as fertilizer into agricultural land, tetracyclines enter the environment. However, tetracyclines chelate with multivalent cations and proteins, resulting in low extraction efficiencies from animal manure for tetracycline residue analysis. In this study an efficient extraction method for oxytetracycline from steer manure using methanol/water solution amended with chelating organic acid was developed for the analysis of high performance liquid chromatography. The effect of species and amount of amendment acids, shaking time, methanol/water ratio, manure weight, and repeated times of extraction was investigated. It was optimized to amend 2.5 g citric acid and 1.1 g oxalic acid with 10.0 g manure sample in a 50-ml centrifuge tube and extract with 15 ml methanol/water (9:1 in volume) by vigorously shaking for 30 min in a reciprocating shaker. After centrifugation at 11,000 rpm, supernatant is collected. Sample was extracted for a total of 3 times. The developed extraction method was further applied to extract oxytetracycline from fresh and aged cow manure, swine and poultry manure, and soil. Satisfactory recoveries ranging from (84.1 ± 2.4) % to (102.0 ± 3.1) % were obtained, demonstrating that the optimized extraction method is robust for oxytetracycline from different manure sample matrixes.

AB  - Climatic changes are predicted to significantly affect the frequency and severity of disturbances that shape forest ecosystems. We provide a synthesis of climate change effects on native bark beetles, important mortality agents of conifers in western North America. Because of differences in temperature-dependent life-history strategies, including cold-induced mortality and developmental timing, responses to warming will differ among and within bark beetle species. The success of bark beetle populations will also be influenced indirectly by the effects of climate on community associates and host-tree vigor, although little information is available to quantify these relationships. We used available population models and climate forecasts to explore the responses of two eruptive bark beetle species. Based on projected warming, increases in thermal regimes conducive to population success are predicted for Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby) and Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, although there is considerable spatial and temporal variability. These predictions from population models suggest a movement of temperature suitability to higher latitudes and elevations and identify regions with a high potential for bark beetle outbreaks and associated tree mortality in the coming century.

AB  - Although many leaching methods have been used for various purposes by research groups, industries, and regulators, there is still a need for a simple but comprehensive approach to leaching coal utilization by-products and other granular materials in order to estimate potential release of heavy metals when these materials are exposed to natural fluids. A serial batch characterization method has been developed at the National Energy Technology Laboratory that can be completed in 2–3 days to serve as a screening tool. The procedure provides an estimate of cumulative metals release under varying pH conditions, and leaching the sample at increasing liquid/solid ratios can indicate the rate at which this process will occur. This method was applied to eight fly ashes, adapted to the acidic or alkaline nature of the ash. The leachates were analyzed for 30 elements. The test was run in quadruplicate, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was used as a measure of method reproducibility. RSD values are between 0.02 and 0.70, with the majority of the RSD values less than 0.3. The serial batch leaching procedure was developed as a simple, relatively quick, yet comprehensive method of estimating the risk of heavy metal release from fly ash when it is exposed to natural fluids, such as acid rain or groundwater. Tests on a random selection of coal fly ashes have shown it to be a reasonably precise method for estimating the availability and long-term release of cations from fly ash. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metals contamination from mining activities is a persistent problem affecting aquatic ecosystems throughout mining districts in the western USA. The Gold Creek drainage in northern Idaho has a history of mining within its headwaters and contains elevated sediment concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn. To determine system-wide impacts of increased metals, we measured concentrations of metals in water, sediment, and benthic macroinvertebrate tissues and related them to whole-body fish tissues and histopathological alterations in native salmonids. Water concentrations were higher than those in reference areas, but were below water quality criteria for protection of aquatic biota for most of the study area. Sediment and benthic macroinvertebrate tissue concentrations for all metals were significantly higher at all sites compared with the reference site. Fish tissues were significantly higher for all metals below mine sites compared with the reference site, but only Cd and Pb were higher in fish tissues in the furthest downstream reach in the Gold Creek Delta. Metals concentrations in benthic macroinvertebrate tissues and fish tissues were strongly correlated, suggesting a transfer of metals through a dietary pathway. The concentrations within sediments and biota were similar to those reported in other studies in which adverse effects to salmonids occurred. We observed histopathological changes in livers of bull trout, including inflammation, necrosis, and pleomorphism. Our study is consistent with other work in which sediment-driven exposure can transfer up the food chain and may cause adverse impacts to higher organisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Hybridization in the wild between closely related species is not unusual. In some cases, hybridization may prove beneficial for a rare taxon. Under certain conditions, however, a rare taxon can be driven rapidly to extinction by hybridizing with a more common taxon. This problem is urgent because human activities are increasingly bringing together cross-compatible species that were previously geographically isolated. US conservation policy has yet to address how to deal with hybrid-derived individuals whose ancestry includes an endangered species. Developing sound science-based conservation policy that addresses hybridization requires cross-disciplinary social-science and life-science research to address the following two questions: (I) How do human decisions with regard to species protection, trade, transportation, land use, and other factors affect the opportunities for, and rates of hybridization between, rare species and more common relatives? and (2) How do the positive or negative perceived values regarding hybrids and hybrid-derived individuals compare with values regarding their nonhybridized counterparts from social, cultural, economic, and environmental perspectives? In this article we explore the ways to inform such policy using a multidisciplinary approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pest risk maps are powerful visual communication tools to describe where invasive alien species might arrive, establish, spread, or cause harmful impacts. These maps inform strategic and tactical pest management decisions, such as potential restrictions on international trade or the design of pest surveys and domestic quarantines. Diverse methods are available to create pest risk maps, and can potentially yield different depictions of risk for the same species. Inherent uncertainties about the biology of the invader, future climate conditions, and species interactions further complicate map interpretation. If multiple maps are available, risk managers must choose how to incorporate the various representations of risk into their decision making process, and may make significant errors if they misunderstand what each map portrays. This article describes the need for pest risk maps, compares pest risk mapping methods, and recommends future research to improve such important decision-support tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Europe and North America share a similar history in the extirpation and subsequent recovery of large carnivore and ungulate species. Both continents face challenges and opportunities for managing human-wildlife conflict at the junction of livestock production and wildlife conservation. Predation of livestock and disease transmission between wildlife and livestock is an ongoing and escalating worldwide issue. In order to manage this conflict, producers need effective tools, and they have used livestock protection dogs (LPDs) for reducing predation for well over 2000 years. We review the history of the use of LPDs, including the loss of information on their use and the paucity of scientific research on their effectiveness. We discuss the potential for LPDs to be integral components in modern-day livestock husbandry and outline future directions to pursue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biodiesel (BD), typically consisting of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), has received much attention because it is a renewable biofuel that contributes little to global warming compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel. The most common method used for BD production is based on the alkali-catalyzed transesterification of first-use refined oils and fats with an alcohol (e.g. methanol). These technologies, however, require significant modification when applied to second use materials such as greases because of their higher free fatty acid (FFA) content. Recently, we reported a series of insoluble porous polymer grafted diphenylammonium salts that efficiently esterified the FFA in greases to FAME. In this work, the diphenylammonium salts were supported onto two robust mesoporous silicas. The resulting catalysts had high esterification activity with >99% of the FFA in greases converted to FAME, and the FFA content in the treated greases was reduced to <1 wt%. The mesoporous silica-supported catalysts displayed minimal transesterification activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Background Provision of fortified juices may provide a convenient method to maintain and increase blood fat-soluble vitamins. Objective To determine whether children consuming orange juice fortified with calcium and combinations of vitamins D, E, and A could increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], α-tocopherol, and retinol levels. Design A 12-week randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Participants/setting One hundred eighty participants (aged 8.04±1.42 years) were recruited at Tufts (n=70) and Boston University (n=110) during 2005-2006. Of those recruited, 176 children were randomized into three groups: CaD (700 mg calcium+200 IU vitamin D), CaDEA (700 mg calcium+200 III vitamin D+12 IU vitamin E+2,000 IU vitamin A as beta carotene), or Ca (700 mg calcium). Children consumed two 240-mL glasses of CaD, CaDEA, or Ca fortified orange juice daily for 12 weeks. Main outcome measures Serum 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, and retinol concentrations. Statistical analyses Changes in 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were examined. Covariates included sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, and baseline 25(OH)D, α-tocopherol, retinol, or parathyroid hormone levels. Multivariate models and repeated measures analysis of variance tested for group differences with pre-post measures (n=141). Results Baseline 25(OH)D was 68.4±27.7 nmol/L (27.4±11.10 ng/mL)), with 21.7% of participants having inadequate 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/L [20.03 ng/mL]). The CaD group's 25(OH)D increase was greater than that of the Ca group (12.7 nmol/L [5.09 ng/mL], 95% CI 1.3 to 24.1; P=0.029). The CaDEA group's increase in a-tocopherol concentration was greater than that in the Ca or CaD groups (3.79 µmol/L [0.16 µg/mL], 95% CI 2.5 to 5.1 and 3.09 (µmol/L [0.13 µg/mL], 95% C -1.8 to 4.3), respectively (P<0.0001). Retinol levels did not change, and body weight remained as expected for growth. Conclusions Daily consumption of orange juice providing 200 IU vitamin D and 12 IU vitamin E increased 25(OH)D and a-tocopherol concentrations in young children within 12 weeks. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Genetic variation at the Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput ( CLOCK) locus has been associated with lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, it has been suggested that the disruption of the circadian system may play a causal role in manifestations of MetS. The aim of this research was to find out whether habitual consumption of a low-fat diet, compared with a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil, modulates the associations between common CLOCK single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ( rs1801260, rs3749474 and rs4580704) and lipid and glucose-related traits among MetS patients. Plasma lipid and insulin concentrations, indexes related with insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)) and CLOCK SNPs were determined in 475 MetS subjects participating in the CORDIOPREV clinical trial (NCT00924937). Gene-diet interactions were analyzed after a year of dietary intervention (Mediterranean diet (35% fat, 22% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA)) versus low-fat diet (28% fat, 12% MUFA)). We found significant gene-diet interactions between rs1801260 SNP and the dietary pattern for insulin concentrations ( p = 0.009), HOMA-IR ( p = 0.014) and QUICKI ( p = 0.028). Specifically, after 12 months of low-fat intervention, subjects who were homozygous for the major allele (TT) displayed lower plasma insulin concentrations ( p = 0.032), lower insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; p = 0.027) and higher insulin sensitivity (QUICKI; p = 0.024) compared with carriers of the minor allele C (TC + CC). In contrast, in the Mediterranean intervention group a different trend was observed although no significant differences were found between CLOCK genotypes after 12 months of treatment. Our data support the notion that a chronic consumption of a healthy diet may play a contributing role in triggering glucose metabolism by interacting with the rs1801260 SNP at CLOCK gene locus in MetS patients. Due to the complex nature of gene-environment interactions, dietary adjustment in subjects with the MetS may require a personalized approach. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - The adequate time to perform physical activity (PA) to maintain optimal circadian system health has not been defined. We studied the influence of morning and evening PA on circadian rhythmicity in 16 women with wrist temperature (WT). Participants performed controlled PA (45 min continuous-running) during 7 days in the morning (MPA) and evening (EPA) and results were compared with a no-exercise-week (C). EPA was characterized by a lower amplitude (evening: 0.028 ± 0.01 °C versus control: 0.038 ± 0.016 °C; p < 0.05) less pronounced second-harmonic (power) (evening: 0.41 ± 0.47 versus morning: 1.04 ± 0.59); and achrophase delay (evening: 06:35 ± 02:14 h versus morning: 04:51 ± 01:11 h; p < 0.05) as compared to MPA and C. Performing PA in the late evening might not be as beneficial as in the morning. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Super-resolution imaging of fluorescence-free plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) was achieved using enhanced dark-field (EDF) illumination based on wavelength-modulation. Indistinguishable adjacent EDF images of 103-nm gold nanoparticles (GNPs), 40-nm gold nanorods (GNRs), and 80-nm silver nanoparticles (SNPs) were modulated at their wavelengths of specific localized surface plasmon scattering. The coordinates (x, y) of each NP were resolved by fitting their point spread functions with a two-dimensional Gaussian. The measured localization precisions of GNPs, GNRs, and SNPs were 2.5 nm, 5.0 nm, and 2.9 nm, respectively. From the resolved coordinates of NPs and the corresponding localization precisions, super-resolution images were reconstructed. Depending on the spontaneous polarization of GNR scattering, the orientation angle of GNRs in two-dimensions was resolved and provided more elaborate localization information. This novel fluorescence-free super-resolution method was applied to live HeLa cells to resolve NPs and provided remarkable sub-diffraction limit images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Updating algal evolutionary relationships through plastid genome sequencing: did alveolate plastids emerge through endosymbiosis of an ochrophyte?

AB  - Algae with secondary plastids of a red algal origin, such as ochrophytes (photosynthetic stramenopiles), are diverse and ecologically important, yet their evolutionary history remains controversial. We sequenced plastid genomes of two ochrophytes, Ochromonas sp. CCMP1393 (Chrysophyceae) and Trachydiscus minutus (Eustigmatophyceae). A shared split of the clpC gene as well as phylogenomic analyses of concatenated protein sequences demonstrated that chrysophytes and eustigmatophytes form a clade, the Limnista, exhibiting an unexpectedly elevated rate of plastid gene evolution. Our analyses also indicate that the root of the ochrophyte phylogeny falls between the recently redefined Khakista and Phaeista assemblages. Taking advantage of the expanded sampling of plastid genome sequences, we revisited the phylogenetic position of the plastid of Vitrella brassicaformis, a member of Alveolata with the least derived plastid genome known for the whole group. The results varied depending on the dataset and phylogenetic method employed, but suggested that the Vitrella plastids emerged from a deep ochrophyte lineage rather than being derived vertically from a hypothetical plastid-bearing common ancestor of alveolates and stramenopiles. Thus, we hypothesize that the plastid in Vitrella, and potentially in other alveolates, may have been acquired by an endosymbiosis of an early ochrophyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This study investigates the relationship between energy investment, economic growth, and job creation and how it differs for conventional and renewable energy. Although the literature for energy consumption and growth is rich, this study is the first attempt to quantify the direction of causality between renewable energy investment and employment at the regional level in the United States. Recent increases in renewable energy investment in spite of the recession underlines the importance of understanding the links of renewable energy investment with growth and job creation. Using data from the 48 U.S. contiguous states plus the District of Columbia for 1997-2009, we find (a) the presence of a long-run unidirectional relationship from investment in renewable energy capacity to gross domestic product (GDP), (b) a two-way long-run causal relationship between fossil energy and real GDP, (c) a unidirectional short- and long-run causality from renewable energy to employment, and (d) unidirectional causality from employment to fossil energy in the long run.

N2  - This study examines the effects of the Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange provision on agricultural land values. The provision allows taxpayers to defer taxation for relinquished productive assets if a like-kind asset is acquired within the allotted time of 180 days. The analysis examines a set of 3,580 farm real estate transaction from 55 agricultural counties in Indiana over the period 2003-2006. Hedonic price analysis suggests that properties acquired under a like-kind exchange are associated with a 1.32% price premium.

N2  - This paper presents a new method of assessing the relationship between features of the built environment and obesity, particularly in urban areas. Our empirical application combines georeferenced data on the location of fast-food restaurants with data about personal health, behavioral, and neighborhood characteristics. We define a 'local food environment' for every individual utilizing buffers around a person's home address. Individual food landscapes are potentially endogenous because of spatial sorting of the population and food outlets, and the body mass index (BMI) values for individuals living close to each other are likely to be spatially correlated because of observed and unobserved individual and neighborhood effects. The potential biases associated with endogeneity and spatial correlation are handled using spatial econometric estimation techniques. Our application provides quantitative estimates of the effect of proximity to fast-food restaurants on obesity in an urban food market. We also present estimates of a policy simulation that focuses on reducing the density of fast-food restaurants in urban areas. In the simulations, we account for spatial heterogeneity in both the policy instruments and individual neighborhoods and find a small effect for the hypothesized relationships between individual BMI values and the density of fast-food restaurants.

AB  - Abstract: In gas–solid reactors, particularly circulating fluidized beds (CFB) it is becoming increasingly more important to be able to predict the conversion and yield of reactant species given the ever rising cost of the reactants and the ever decreasing acceptable level of effluent contaminants. As such, the development and use of predictive models for the reactors is necessary for most processes today. These models all take into account, in some manner, the interphase mass transfer. The model developer, unless equipped with specific experimentally based empirical correlations for the reactor system under consideration, is required to go to the open literature to obtain correlations for the mass transfer coefficient between the solid and gas phases. This is a difficult task at present, since these literature values differ by up to 7 orders of magnitude. The wide variation in the prediction of mass transfer coefficients in the existing literature is credited to flow regime differences that can be identified in the cited literature upon careful inspection. A new theory is developed herein that takes into account the local hydrodynamics. The resulting model is compared with data generated in the NETL cold flow test facility and with values from the literature. The new theory and the experimental data agree quite well, providing a fundamentally based mass transfer model for predictive reactor simulation codes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: There has been an increasing public concern over forest stream pollution by excessive sedimentation due to natural or human disturbances. Adequate erosion simulation tools are needed for sound management of forest resources. The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) watershed model has proved useful in forest applications where Hortonian flow is the major form of runoff, such as modeling erosion from roads, harvested units, and burned areas by wildfire or prescribed fire. Nevertheless, when used for modeling water flow and sediment discharge from natural forest watersheds where subsurface flow is dominant, WEPP (v2004.7) underestimates these quantities, in particular, the water flow at the watershed outlet. The main goal of this study was to improve the WEPP v2004.7 so that it can be applied to adequately simulate forest watershed hydrology and erosion. The specific objectives were to modify WEPP v2004.7 algorithms and subroutines that improperly represent forest subsurface hydrologic processes; and, to assess the performance of the modified model by applying it to a research forest watershed in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Changes were made in WEPP v2004.7 to better model percolation of soil water and subsurface lateral flow. The modified model, WEPP v2008.9, was applied to the Hermada watershed located in the Boise National Forest, in southern Idaho, USA. The results from v2008.9 and v2004.7 as well as the field observations were compared. For the period of 1995–2000, average annual precipitation for the study area was 954mm. Simulated annual watershed discharge was negligible using WEPP v2004.7, and was 262mm using WEPP v2008.9, agreeable with field-observed 275mm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Natural killer (NK) cells play a vital role in innate response against viral infections and cellular transformation. In vivomodulation of their response may enhance their antiviral function. Here we describe the phenotype of porcine NK cells, test potential proinflammatory cytokines for activation of these cells and assess the capability of porcine NK cells to kill virus-infected or tumor cells in vitro. The CD2/CD8/CD3−cell compartment contained porcine NK cells, which at the resting stage were minimally cytotoxic toward foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-infected porcine cells or tumor cell lines. Direct stimulation of NK cells with proinflammatory cytokines induced efficient lysis of FMDV-infected cells with interleukin (IL)-2 or IL-15 showing the highest stimulatory capacity. Lower levels of NK cell activation were induced by IL-12, IL-18, or interferon (IFN)-, however, IL-12 and IL-18 synergistically activated NK cells. Combinations of IL-15 and IL-12 or IL-15 and IL-18 did not further increase the porcine NK cell lytic capability over IL-15 alone. Natural killer cells expressed IFN- regardless of the cytokine used for stimulation while expression of perforin increased modestly. The enhancement of porcine NK cell activity by proinflammatory cytokines offers a promising tool for development of antiviral approaches against virus infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Leaf colour change is commonly observed in temperate deciduous forests in autumn. This is not simply a side effect of leaf senescence, and, in the past decade, several hypotheses have emerged to explain the evolution of autumn colours. Yet a lack of crosstalk between plant physiologists and evolutionary ecologists has resulted in slow progress, and so the adaptive value of this colour change remains a mystery. Here we provide an interdisciplinary summary of the current body of knowledge on autumn colours, and discuss unresolved issues and future avenues of research that might help reveal the evolutionary meaning of this spectacle of nature.

AB  - The objectives of this study were to estimate the heritabilities for and genetic correlations among resistance to bacterial cold-water disease and growth traits in a population of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Bacterial cold-water disease, a chronic disease of rainbow trout, is caused by Flavobacterium psychrophilum. This bacterium also causes acute losses in young fish, known as rainbow trout fry syndrome. Selective breeding for increased disease resistance is a promising strategy that has not been widely used in aquaculture. At the same time, improving growth performance is critical for efficient production. At the National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture, reducing the negative impact of diseases on rainbow trout culture and improving growth performance are primary objectives. In 2005, when fish averaged 2.4 g, 71 full-sib families were challenged with F. psychrophilum and evaluated for 21 d. Overall survival was 29.3% and family rates of survival varied from 1.5 to 72.5%. Heritability of postchallenge survival, an indicator of disease resistance, was estimated to be 0.35 ± 0.09. Body weights at 9 and 12 mo posthatch and growth rate from 9 to 12 mo were evaluated on siblings of the fish in the disease challenge study. Growth traits were moderately heritable, from 0.32 for growth rate to 0.61 for 12-mo BW. Genetic and phenotypic correlations between growth traits and resistance to bacterial cold-water disease were not different from zero. These results suggest that genetic improvement can be made simultaneously for growth and bacterial cold-water disease resistance in rainbow trout by using selective breeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract  The common recommendation that recharge should be estimated from multiple methods is sound, but the inherent differences of the methods make it difficult to assess the accuracy of differing results. In this study, four methods for estimating groundwater recharge and two methods for estimating base flow (as a proxy for recharge) are compared at two hydrologic research sites in east-central Pennsylvania, USA. Results from the multiple methods all provided reasonable estimates of groundwater recharge that differed considerably. The estimates of mean annual recharge for the period 1994-2001 ranged from 22.9 to 35.7 cm—about 45% of the mean of all estimates. For individual years, recharge estimates from the multiple methods ranged from 30 to 42% of the mean value during the dry years and 64 to 76% of the mean value during wet years. Comparison of multiple methods was found to be useful for determining the range of plausible recharge rates and highlighting the uncertainty of the estimates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Blood and milk concentrations of the acute phase protein lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) were evaluated in cows with naturally occurring mastitis. Blood and milk samples were collected from 101 clinically healthy dairy cows and 17 dairy cows diagnosed with clinical mastitis, and the LBP concentrations of the samples were measured by an ELISA. Concentrations of LBP were greater in the blood and milk of cows with clinical mastitis than in those with healthy quarters. Concentrations of LBP also differed between uninfected and subclinically infected quarters with low somatic cell count. Blood concentrations of LBP in cows with subclinical intramammary infections could not be differentiated from those of cows with all healthy quarters. Together, these data demonstrate that increased blood and milk concentrations of LBP can be detected in dairy cows with naturally acquired intramammary infections that cause clinical mastitis.

AB  - Abstract: Fresh-cut cilantro is particularly susceptible to microbial growth and, therefore, use of an effective sanitizer on this product is of great importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different sanitizing treatments on reducing Escherichia coli O157:H7 populations, aerobic mesophilic bacterial, yeast and mould counts on fresh-cut cilantro. Cut cilantro was treated with sodium hypochlorite (SH) at 0.2gL−1 free chlorine and acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) at 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1gL−1, along with the components of ASC, i.e., citric acid (CA) at 6gL−1 and sodium chlorite (SC) at 1gL−1. In the present study, it was found that SH inactivated, at maximum, 1–1.3logcfug−1 of background or pathogenic microflora present on cut cilantro. However, reductions of more than 3logcfug−1 were observed after washing with 1gL−1 of ASC. Moreover, when lower concentrations of ASC were used (0.25 and 0.5gL−1), microbial populations were reduced by about 2logcfug−1. SC was as effective as ASC at 1gL−1 in reducing aerobic mesophilic bacteria and E. coli O157:H7 populations, although it was not as effective as ASC in reducing yeast and mould populations.

AB  - Abstract: Spectroscopic data, including electronic absorption, CD and EPR results, as well as theoretical calculations have shown that the insertion of 4-aminopyroglutamate, a novel cis-peptide bond mimic, in the insect kinin peptide leads to an effective ligand towards Cu(II) ions at basic pH ranges. The 4-aminopyroglutamate motif induces a specific peptide conformation which favors the formation of one or two five-membered chelating rings stabilizing a bent structure, with the coordination of 3N-type or 4N-type in the metallopeptide molecule involving in metal bonding C-terminal of modified peptide. It is worth noting that the copper(II) bonding does not undergo hydrolysis even at a very high pH range. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: An attenuated Mycobacterium bovis RD1 deletion (ΔRD1) mutant of the Ravenel strain was constructed, characterized, and sequenced. This M. bovis ΔRD1 vaccine strain administered to calves at 2 weeks of age provided similar efficacy as M. bovis bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) against low dose, aerosol challenge with virulent M. bovis at 3.5 months of age. Approximately 4.5 months after challenge, both ΔRD1- and BCG-vaccinates had reduced tuberculosis (TB)-associated pathology in lungs and lung-associated lymph nodes and M. bovis colonization of tracheobronchial lymph nodes as compared to non-vaccinates. Mean central memory responses elicited by either ΔRD1 or BCG prior to challenge correlated with reduced pathology and bacterial colonization. Neither ΔRD1 or BCG elicited IFN-γ responses to rESAT-6:CFP-10 prior to challenge, an emerging tool for modern TB surveillance programs. The ΔRD1 strain may prove useful for bovine TB vaccine programs, particularly if additional mutations are included to improve safety and immunogenicity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The present study was to evaluate the bioavailability of iron (Fe) fortified in parboiled rice grain, expressed as Fe uptake by Caco-2 cells after in vitro digestion. The bioavailability of Fe-fortified in the rice grain was closely and positively correlated with increasing concentrations of Fe in the grains of the three cultivars (r =0.96∗∗). The uptakes of the Fe-fortified in parboiled rice milled for 120s (34.2, 47.7 and 107ng ferritin mg protein−1 in three cultivars, respectively) were well above those of the unfortified raw (6.1, 4.9 and 5.7ng ferritin mg protein−1) or parboiled rice (4.7, 3.6 and 4.4ng ferritin mg protein−1), the high Fe rice line IR68144-2B-3-2-2 (4.0ng ferritin mg protein−1) and popular Jasmine rice cultivar KDML 105 (3.9ng ferritin mg protein−1). Increasing milling time and rinsing the Fe-fortified parboiled rice decreased Fe bioavailability, due to their negative effects on total Fe concentrations in the parboiled rice grains, but uptakes were still well above that of their unfortified raw or parboiled rice grains. Rinsing or washing the Fe-fortified and milled rice grains decreased the bioavailability to 85ng ferritin mg protein−1 in the YRF cultivar, compared to about 100ng ferritin mg protein−1 in its non-rinsed grains. Dilute acid-extractable (DAE) Fe was linearly, positively correlated with the uptake of Fe assessed by the in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell technique (r =0.90∗∗), which can be used as a rapid method for optimizing levels of bioavailable Fe to be fortified in the parboiled rice by parboiled-rice mills if this Fe-fortification technique should be adopted in south and southeast Asia.

AB  - Wheat cultivar Express has durable, high-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance to stripe rust ( Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici). To elucidate the genetic basis of the resistance, Express was crossed with ‘Avocet Susceptible’ (AVS). A mapping population of 146 F5 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was developed using single-seed descent. The RILs were evaluated at two sites near Pullman in eastern Washington and one site near Mount Vernon in western Washington in 2005, and were evaluated near Pullman in 2006 under natural stripe rust infection of predominant races virulent on seedlings of Express. Infection type (IT) and disease severity (DS) were recorded three times for each line during each growing season. The DS data were used to calculate relative area under the disease progress curve (rAUDPC) values. Both IT and rAUDPC data showed continuous distributions, indicating that the Express HTAP resistance was controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) techniques were used to map the HTAP resistance QTL. Three QTL were detected with significant additive effects, explaining 49.5–69.6% of the phenotypic variation for rAUDPC. Two of the QTL explained 30.8–42.7% of the phenotypic variation for IT. The three QTL were mapped to wheat chromosomes 6AS, 3BL and 1BL, and were designated as QYrex.wgp-6AS, QYrex.wgp-3BL and QYrex.wgp-1BL, respectively. QYrex.wgp-6AS and QYrex.wgp-3BL, which had higher effects than QYrex.wgp-1BL, were different from previously reported QTL/genes for adult-plant resistance. Markers Xgwm334–Xwgp56 and Xgwm299–Xwgp66 flanking the two major QTL were highly polymorphic in various wheat genotypes, suggesting that these markers are useful in marker-assisted selection.

AB  - Abstract: Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that are selectively taken up into the macula of the eye where they are thought to protect against the development of age-related macular degeneration. Current dietary databases make it difficult to ascertain their individual roles in eye health because their concentrations in foods are generally reported together. The objective of this work is to determine the concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin, separately, within major food sources of dietary xanthophylls as determined by NHANES 2001–2002 intakes. Corn and corn products were found to be major contributors of dietary zeaxanthin whereas green leafy vegetables were major contributors of dietary lutein. The predominant isomeric xanthophyll form was trans for all foods. Processed foods contained more cis xanthophyll isomers than fruits and vegetables. These data will provide added information to the current databases for lutein and zeaxanthin content of commonly consumed foods as well as enhance the validity of estimates of dietary intake of these xanthophylls and their respective contributions to health.

AB  - The expression profile of glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) in the anterior pituitary during the second half of embryonic development in the chick is consistent with in vivo regulation by circulating corticosteroids. However, nothing else has been reported about the presence of GILZ in the neuroendocrine system. We sought to characterize expression and regulation of GILZ in the chicken embryonic pituitary gland and determine the effect of GILZ overexpression on anterior pituitary hormone levels. Pituitary GILZ mRNA levels increased during embryogenesis to a maximum on the day of hatch, and decreased through the first week after hatch. GILZ expression was rapidly upregulated by corticosterone in embryonic pituitary cells. To determine whether GILZ regulates hormone gene expression in the developing anterior pituitary, we overexpressed GILZ in embryonic pituitary cells and measured mRNA for the major pituitary hormones. Exogenous GILZ increased prolactin mRNA above basal levels, but not as high as that in corticosterone-treated cells, indicating that GILZ may play a small role in lactotroph differentiation. The largest effect we observed was a twofold increase in FSH β subunit in cells transfected with GILZ but not treated with corticosterone, suggesting that GILZ may positively regulate gonadotroph development in a manner not involving glucocorticoids. In conclusion, this is the first report to characterize avian GILZ and examine its regulation in the developing neuroendocrine system. We have shown that GILZ is upregulated by glucocorticoids in the embryonic pituitary gland and may regulate expression of several pituitary hormones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an indole-tetramic acid mycotoxin, is produced by many species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. In addition to CPA Aspergillus flavus produces polyketide-derived carcinogenic aflatoxins. Aflatoxin biosynthesis genes form a gene cluster in a subtelomeric region. Isolates of A. flavus lacking aflatoxin production due to the loss of the entire aflatoxin gene cluster and portions of the subtelomeric region are often unable to produce CPA, which suggests a physical link of genes involved in CPA biosynthesis to the aflatoxin gene cluster. Examining the subtelomeric region in A. flavus isolates of different chemotypes revealed a region possibly associated with CPA production. Disruption of three of the four genes present in this region predicted to encode a monoamine oxidase, a dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase, and a hybrid polyketide non-ribosomal peptide synthase abolished CPA production in an aflatoxigenic A. flavus strain. Therefore, some of the CPA biosynthesis genes are organized in a mini-gene cluster that is next to the aflatoxin gene cluster in A. flavus. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this research was to compare the suitability of three kinetic models for describing the survival of a cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes in ground beef under both isothermal and dynamic temperature conditions. Ground beef (93% lean), inoculated with a 4-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes, was subjected to heating at 57, 60, 63, or 66°C to develop isothermal kinetic models. Experimental data showed that the isothermal survival curves were not strictly linear and were downwardly concaved. The isothermal inactivation of L. monocytogenes in ground beef was better described by two nonlinear kinetic models, the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models. Analytical results showed that root mean square error values (RMSE) of the Weibull-type and the modified Gompertz models were 0.19 and 0.20log(CFU/g), both significantly smaller than that of the linear model (0.48log(CFU/g)). Under linear heating dynamic conditions, however, only the modified Gompertz model, with a RMSE of only 0.71log(CFU/g), was suitable for describing the survival of the pathogen. Both linear and Weibull-type models grossly underestimated the survival of L. monocytogenes in ground beef during dynamic heating. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We estimate how much United States farms changed enterprise diversification in response to a marked increase in crop insurance coverage brought about by the 1994 Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act, which substantially increased insurance subsidies. The analysis exploits farm-level panel census data to compare farm-specific changes in enterprise diversification over time. By examining diversification decisions of the same farms over time, we control for time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity. We then use pooled cross-sectional data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Resource Management Survey to estimate the relationship between farm diversification and average returns. We find that the insurance subsidies caused a modest increase in enterprise specialisation and production efficiency. Estimated efficiency gains are far less than the subsidies.

AB  - The body mass index (BMI), defined as weight/height2, is often used to monitor childhood obesity. BMI values for 979 children (438 White, 283 Black, and 258 Hispanic) aged 3–18 years living in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area from 1994 to 1998 were compared with percentage of fat (%Fat) measurements obtained by using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The associations between %Fat and BMI were statistically significant (r2 = 0.34–0.70, p < 0.0005) and were gender and ethnic dependent (p < 0.0005), indicating that BMI can provide a general description of the adiposity characteristics of a healthy pediatric population. However, BMI was a poor predictor for the individual child, with a standard error for %Fat of 4.7–7.3% of body weight. It is advantageous to identify accurately, as early as possible, those children who truly have excess adiposity, but this assessment should not be done at the risk of falsely mislabeling a significant number of healthy children as overweight or obese.

AB  - Abstract: The protective immune response that develops following infection with many tissue-dwelling intestinal nematode parasites is characterised by elevations in IL-4 and IL-13 and increased numbers of CD4+ T cells, granulocytes and macrophages. These cells accumulate at the site of infection and in many cases can mediate resistance to these large multicellular pathogens. Recent studies suggest novel potential mechanisms mediated by these immune cell populations through their differential activation and ability to stimulate production of novel effector molecules. These newly discovered protective mechanisms may provide novel strategies to develop immunotherapies and vaccines against this group of pathogens. In this review, we will examine recent studies elucidating mechanisms of host protection against three widely-used experimental murine models of tissue-dwelling intestinal nematode parasites: Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Trichuris muris and Trichinella spiralis.

AB  - Abstract: In this study, for the first time, functionally active, recombinant, cysteine-rich plant proteins snakin-1 (SN1) and defensin (PTH1) were expressed and purified using a prokaryotic expression system. The overall level of antimicrobial activities of SN1 and PTH1 produced in Escherichia coli was commensurate with that of the same proteins previously obtained from plant tissues. Both proteins exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the phytopathogenic bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) 1.5–8μM) and antifungal activity against the phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum coccoides and Botrytis cinerea (IC50 5–14μM). Significantly weaker activity was observed against Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci. A pronounced synergistic antimicrobial effect against P. syringae pv. syringae and an additive effect against P. syringae pv. tabaci occurred with a combination of SN1 and PTH1. Aggregation of C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus bacterial cells at all protein concentrations tested was observed with the combination of SN1 and PTH1 and with SN1 alone. Our results demonstrate the use of a cost effective prokaryotic expression system for generation and in vitro characterization of plant cysteine-rich proteins with potential antimicrobial activities against a wide range of phytopathogenic microorganisms in order to select the most effective agents for future in vivo studies.

AB  - Between one and seven biological control agents have been released against water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) in at least 30 countries, with varied success. A mirid, Eccritotarsus catarinensis (Carvalho) (Heteroptera: Miridae), the most recent agent released, is damaging to the plant on the African continent. It could be useful in the USA where water hyacinth remains a problem, but its introduction remains in doubt because during host specificity trials, it developed on Pontederia cordata L. (pickerelweed), indigenous to the USA. However, it did not establish on pickerelweed monocultures during South African field trials, and only light spillover feeding occurred where the two plants coexisted suggesting that the use of P. cordata as a host is a laboratory artefact and it may be suitable for use in the USA, if its thermal physiology allows establishment. We reran models developed for South Africa using CLIMEX to predict whether the mirid will establish where water hyacinth and pickerelweed co-occur, but not where pickerelweed occurs in the absence of water hyacinth. The models suggest that the mirid's distribution will be limited by cold winter temperatures and insufficient thermal accumulation to the southern states of the USA, within the main distribution of water hyacinth. Even though some spillover feeding on pickerelweed might result where the two plants co-occur, the risk of population level effects seems minimal and the risk to more northern pickerelweed negligible. The benefits, including improved habitat for pickerelweed, associated with further suppression of water hyacinth, outweigh the minimal risk of collateral damage to pickerelweed.

AB  - Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy historically is a powerful tool for the taxonomic classification of bacteria by genus, species, and strain when they are grown under carefully controlled conditions. Relatively few reports have investigated the determination and classification of pathogens such as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Category A Bacillus anthracis spores and cells (BA), Yersinia species, Francisella tularensis (FT), and Category B Brucella species from FT-IR spectra. We investigated the multivariate statistics classification ability of the FT-IR spectra of viable pathogenic and non-pathogenic NIAID Category A and B bacteria. The impact of different growth media, growth time and temperature, rolling circle filter of the data, and wavelength range were investigated for their microorganism differentiation capability. Viability of the bacteria was confirmed by agar plate growth after the FT-IR experimental procedures were performed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was reduced to maps of two PC vectors in order to distill the FT-IR spectral features into manageable, visual presentations. The PCA results of the strains of BA, FT, Brucella, and Yersinia spectra from conditions of varying growth media and culture time were readily separable in two-dimensional (2D) PC plots. FT spectra were separated from those of the three other genera. The BA pathogenic spore strains 1029, LA1, and Ames were clearly differentiated from the rest of the dataset. Yersinia rhodei, Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pestis species were distinctly separated from the remaining dataset and could also be classified by growth media. Different growth media produced distinct subsets in the FT, BA, and Yersinia spp. regions in the 2D PC plots. Various 2D PC plots provided differential degrees of separation with respect to the four viable bacterial genera including the BA sub-categories of pathogenic spores, vegetative cells, and nonpathogenic vegetative cells. This work provided evidence that FT-IR spectroscopy can indeed separate the four major pathogenic bacterial genera of NIAID Category A and B biological threat agents including details according to the growth conditions and statistical parameters.

AB  - Background: While evidence suggested that the activity states of Protein kinase B (AKT/PKB) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) play an important role in the progression of the Growth Hormone (GH) signal cascade, the implication of the activation of AKT/PKB and eNOS in terms of their function in the signaling pathway was not clear. Results: Using a specific AKT/PKB inhibitor and a functional proteomic approach, we were able to detect the activities of multiple signal transduction pathway elements, the downstream targets of the AKT/PKB pathway and the modification of those responses by treatment with GH. Inhibiting the AKT/PKB activity reduced or eliminated the activation (phosphorylation) of eNOS. We demonstrated that the progression of the GH signal cascade is influenced by the activity status of AKT and eNOS, wherein the suppression of AKT activity appears to augment the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (Erk1/2) and to antagonize the deactivation (phosphorylation) of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDC2/Cdk1) induced by GH. Phosphorylation of GSK3a/b (glycogen synthase kinase 3), the downstream target of AKT/PKB, was inhibited by the AKT/PKB inhibitor. GH did not increase phosphorylation of ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (RSK1) in normal cells but increases phosphorylation of RSK1 in cells pre-treated with the AKT and eNOS inhibitors. Conclusion: The MAP kinase and CDC2 kinase-dependent intracellular mechanisms are involved in or are the targets of the GH's action processes, and these activities are probably directly or indirectly modulated by AKT/PKB pathways. We propose that the AKT/PKB-eNOS module likely functions as a negative feedback mediator of GH actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. Norovirus is often transmitted by infected food handlers at the point of service, whereas reports of food contamination before wholesale distribution are rare. In September 2005, we investigated reports of gastroenteritis among rafters who went on unrelated trips on the Colorado River. Methods. We surveyed all companies that launched rafting trips during the period from 14 August through 19 September 2005 to identify trips in which ≥3 rafters became ill. We conducted a case-control study. Case patients were persons who experienced diarrhea or vomiting that commenced ≤72 h after the trip launch; control subjects were persons who did not become ill ≤72 h after launch. We tested stool samples and food specimens for norovirus. We performed a traceback investigation of the suspected food vehicle and inspected the implicated processing plant. Results. Three or more rafters developed gastroenteritis during 13 (14%) of 91 trips, for a total of 137 ill persons. Of the 57 case patients who became ill ≤72 h after trip launch, 55 (96%) reported eating delicatessen meat, compared with 75 (79%) of 95 control subjects (odds ratio, 7.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.7−66.7). All delicatessen meat eaten by case patients came from 1 batch purchased from 1 processing plant and had been sliced, vacuum-packed, and frozen (temperature, −23°C) for 7-28 days. An employee sliced this batch with bare hands 1 day after recovery from gastroenteritis. Identical norovirus sequences were identified in stool specimens obtained from rafters on 3 different trips; 2 of 5 meat packages also tested positive for norovirus by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and DNA hybridization. Conclusions. Food handlers can contaminate ready-to-eat meats with norovirus during processing. Meat-processing practices should include specific measures to prevent contamination with enteric viruses and subsequent widespread outbreaks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The relative activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in different tissues controls the partitioning of lipoprotein-derived fatty acids between sites of fat storage (adipose tissue) and oxidation (heart and skeletal muscle). Here we used a reverse genetic strategy to test the hypothesis that 4 angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL3, -4, -5, and -6) play key roles in triglyceride (TG) metabolism in humans. We re-sequenced the coding regions of the genes encoding these proteins and identified multiple rare nonsynonymous (NS) sequence variations that were associated with low plasma TG levels but not with other metabolic phenotypes. Functional studies revealed that all mutant alleles of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 that were associated with low plasma TG levels interfered either with the synthesis or secretion of the protein or with the ability of the ANGPTL protein to inhibit LPL. A total of 1% of the Dallas Heart Study population and 4% of those participants with a plasma TG in the lowest quartile had a rare loss-of-function mutation in ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, or ANGPTL5. Thus, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL5, but not ANGPTL6, play nonredundant roles in TG metabolism, and multiple alleles at these loci cumulatively contribute to variability in plasma TG levels in humans.

AB  - Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for serious invasive illness associated with consumption of contaminated food and places a significant burden on public health and the agricultural economy. We recently developed a multilocus genotyping (MLGT) assay for high-throughput subtype determination of L. monocytogenes lineage I isolates based on interrogation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP5) via multiplexed primer extension reactions. Here we report the development and validation of two additional MLGT assays that address the need for comprehensive DNA sequence-based subtyping of L. monocytogenes. The first of these novel MLGT assays targeted variation segregating within lineage II, while the second assay combined probes for lineage III strains with probes for strains representing a recently characterized fourth evolutionary lineage (IV) of L. monocytogenes. These assays were based on nucleotide variation identified in >3.8 Mb of comparative DNA sequence and consisted of 115 total probes that differentiated 93% of the 100 haplotypes defined by the multilocus sequence data. MLGT reproducibly typed the 173 isolates used in SNP discovery, and the 10,448 genotypes derived from MLGT analysis of these isolates were consistent with DNA sequence data. Application of the MLGT assays to assess subtype prevalence among isolates from ready-to-eat foods and food-processing facilities indicated a low frequency (6.3%) of epidemic clone subtypes and a substantial population of isolates (>30%) harboring mutations in inl4 associated with attenuated virulence in cell culture and animal models. These mutations were restricted to serogroup 1/2 isolates, which may explain the overrepresentation of serotype 4b isolates in human listeriosis cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The merozoite surface antigen-2 (msa-2) family of Babesia bovis is a group of variable genes that share conserved 5′ and 3′ ends and encode for membrane-anchored glycoproteins that have been postulated as vaccine candidates. In this work, we analyzed the sequences of three of these genes ( msa-2a1, a2, and 2b) from two geographically distant strains and detected a certain degree of genotypic diversity that could be exploited to work out new molecular tools for the discrimination of B. bovis field samples. Here we describe a PCR restriction assay that was developed based on this observation and tested on several B. bovis strains and isolates. The results show a strain-specific band pattern in geographically distant isolates, indicating the presence of differentially located BspMI restriction sites. This approach provides a simple method for the differentiation of American B. bovis strains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Arthropod-borne diseases are an important part of the group of foreign animal diseases that command attention from federal, state, and local animal health authorities in the United States because of the potential for adverse local and regional animal health impacts and also because of possible losses of export markets. Diseases of concern are listed by the US Animal Health Association and also by the Office International des Epizooties. Global change is causing the emergence of newly recognized diseases and altering enzootic and epizootic circumstances for known disease problems. Selected examples of arthropod-borne diseases of importance are discussed in terms of their potential for introduction, spread, and impact on livestock and human health in the United States.

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this study was to test meat and fortified-food combinations to identify those that optimize iron uptake in an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model, a proxy for iron bioavailability. Four experiments tested combinations of meats such as chicken (blood, spleen, liver, thigh), beef (cube steak), and fish (whole-fish meal) with iron-fortified foods (rice cereal, maize-soy flour, wheat flour). Chicken liver, thigh, spleen, blood, or fish meal increased the Caco-2 cell iron uptake from these combined with rice cereal (P < .05). Chicken liver, thigh, blood, and beef increased the Caco-2 cell iron uptake from these combined with wheat flour (P < .05). Chicken liver and thigh were tested further. Compared with the liver or thigh alone, adding fortified foods to these meats did not increase the Caco-2 cell iron uptake (P ≥ .05). Adding either meat to the 3 fortified foods increased the Caco-2 cell iron uptake of the fortified foods (P < .05). Chicken liver, chicken thigh, and wheat flour were selected for an infant porridge because the combinations with the highest Caco-2 cell iron uptake were chicken thigh + wheat flour, chicken liver + wheat flour, and chicken liver + maize-soy flour, and wheat flour was the least expensive fortified food sold in the target population. Per unit of iron, the chicken thigh + wheat flour and chicken liver + wheat flour combinations resulted in the highest bioavailable iron. In the proportion of 3:1 fortified food:meat examined, meat increases the bioavailability of iron-fortified foods, but iron-fortified foods do not enhance total iron bioavailability when added to meat.

AB  - Abstract: Many hyperbolic systems of equations with stiff relaxation terms reduce to a parabolic description when relaxation dominates. An asymptotic-preserving numerical method is a discretization of the hyperbolic system that becomes a valid discretization of the parabolic system in the asymptotic limit. We explore the consequences of applying a slope limiter to the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, with linear elements, for hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation terms. Without a limiter, the DG method gives an accurate discretization of the Chapman–Enskog approximation of the system when the relaxation length scale is not resolved. It is well known that the first-order upwind (or “step”) method fails to obtain the proper asymptotic limit. We show that using the minmod slope limiter also fails, but that using double minmod gives the proper asymptotic limit. Despite its effectiveness in the asymptotic limit, the double minmod limiter allows artificial extrema at cell interfaces, referred to as “sawteeth”. We present a limiter that eliminates the sawteeth, but maintains the proper asymptotic limit. The systems that we analyze are the hyperbolic heat equation and the P  n  thermal radiation equations. Numerical examples are used to verify our analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In this paper, we use the classical Mixture Theory and present exact solutions to the equations of motion for the steady flow of two linearly viscous fluids between two horizontal plates. We show that for a saturated mixture and under very special conditions, namely when the body forces are assumed negligible, the only interaction force is due to relative velocity (drag force), and if the two velocities are assumed to be related to each other in a linear fashion, then it is possible to integrate the coupled ordinary differential equations and obtain analytical expressions for the velocities and the volume fraction.

AB  - Abstract: We investigate the roles of consumer knowledge and sociodemographic factors in the consumption of meat products at home and away from home. Censored dependent variables and endogenous dietary knowledge are accommodated by developing and estimating a simultaneous-equations system. Results suggest endogeneity of knowledge and support the system approach to demand functions for meat products. Dietary knowledge decreases consumption of beef and pork at home and away from home but does not affect poultry or fish consumption in either location. Men eat more meat and fish than women, meat consumption declines with age, and regional and racial/ethnic differences are present. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Magnetic field-induced transitions (metamagnetic transitions) play an important role in defining functionality of various classes of magnetic materials. Rare earth manganites showing colossal magnetoresistance and Gd5(Ge1−x Si x )4 alloys showing a giant magnetocaloric effect are typical examples that are of interest to the solid-state physics, chemistry and materials science communities. The key features of the metamagnetic transitions occurring in these systems are phase coexistence and metastability. This generality is highlighted by comparing experimental results characterizing three different classes of magnetic materials. A generalized framework of disorder-influenced first-order phase transition is introduced to understand the experimental data, which have considerable bearing on the functionality of these model materials.

AB  - Melon ( Cucumis melo L.) is highly nutritious vegetable species and an important source of β-carotene (Vitamin A), which is an important nutrient in the human diet. A previously developed set of 81 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Group Cantalupensis US Western Shipper market type germplasm was examined in two locations [Wisconsin (WI) and California (CA), USA] over 2 years to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with quantity of beta-carotene (QβC) in mature fruit. A moderately saturated 256-point RIL-based map [104 SSR, 7 CAPS, 4 SNP in putative carotenoid candidate genes, 140 dominant markers and one morphological trait ( a) spanning 12 linkage groups (LG)] was used for QβC–QTL analysis. Eight QTL were detected in this evaluation that were distributed across four LG that explained a significant portion of the associated phenotypic variation for QβC ( R 2 = 8 to 31.0%). Broad sense heritabilities for QβC obtained from RIL grown in WI. and CA were 0.56 and 0.68, respectively, and 0.62 over combined locations. The consistence of QβC in high/low RIL within location across years was confirmed in experiments conducted over 2 years. QTL map positions were not uniformly associated with putative carotenoid genes, although one QTL (β -car6.1) interval was located 10 cM from a β-carotene hydroxylase gene. These results suggest that accumulation of β-carotene in melon is under complex genetic control. This study provides the initial step for defining the genetic control of QβC in melon leading to the development of varieties with enhanced β-carotene content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Flavobacterium columnare is a Gram-negative pathogen of many species of wild and cultured fish. Isolates from diseased channel catfish belong to either genomovar I or II. Genomovar II isolates were found to be more virulent than genomovar I isolates. The objective of the present study was to determine whether differences exist in the chemotactic response of these genomovars to mucus obtained from the skin, gills and intestines of healthy channel catfish using the capillary chemotaxis assay. Mucus from the skin and gill induced a greater chemotactic response by F. columnare than mucus from the intestine. Sixty percent of mucus from the skin of individual catfish yielded a positive chemotactic response from F. columnare. Finally, skin mucus induced a greater chemotactic response in genomovar II F. columnare than in genomovar I F. columnare isolates. The data indicate that mucus from channel catfish results in a chemotactic response by F. columnare. This positive chemotactic response may be an important first step for F. columnare colonization of channel catfish skin or gills. Although the role that chemotaxis plays in the virulence of F. columnare is not fully defined, the chemotactic response of genomovar ll isolates suggests that chemotaxis is associated with virulence.

AB  - Exposure to feces in two watersheds with different management histories was assessed by tracking cattle feces bacterial populations using multiple host-specific PCR assays. In addition, environmental factors affecting the occurrence of these markers were identified. Each assay was performed using DNA extracts from water and sediment samples collected from a watershed directly impacted by cattle fecal pollution (WS1) and from a watershed impacted only through runoff (WS2). In WSI, the ruminant-specific Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene marker CF128F was detected in 65% of the water samples, while the non-16S rRNA gene markers Bad, Bac2, and Bac5 were found in 32 to 37% of the water samples. In contrast, all source-specific markers were detected in less than 6% of the water samples from WS2. Binary logistic regressions (BLRs) revealed that the occurrence of Bac32F and CF128F was significantly correlated with season as a temporal factor and watershed as a site factor. BLRs also indicated that the dynamics of fecal-source-tracking markers correlated with the density of a traditional fecal indicator (P < 0.001). Overall, our results suggest that a combination of 16S rRNA gene and non-16S rRNA gene markers provides a higher level of confidence for tracking unknown sources of fecal pollution in environmental samples. This study also provided practical insights for implementation of microbial source-tracking practices to determine sources of fecal pollution and the influence of environmental variables on the occurrence of source-specific markers.

AB  - Abstract: This study was initiated to investigate the differences in germination percentages and rates between Corylopsis coreana Uyeki and Corylopsis sinensis var. calvescens Rehder & E.H. Wilson following a warm stratification (WS) and cold stratification (CS), and to study the effect of different WS temperatures interacting with different durations of CS. Warm stratification at 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C was given for 1 month (1 M 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C WS) followed by 0 M, 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M of CS at 5°C (0 M, 1 M, 2 M, 3 M CS) and seeds were germinated in an air conditioned greenhouse maintained at 18.5°C/18°C. On average, less than 1% of C. coreana seeds germinated when sown without any WS and CS or with 1 M 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C WS without CS treatment. However, 26% C. coreana seeds germinated after 1 M 10°C WS without any CS treatment. Germination was not affected by WS temperatures when followed by 2 M 5°C CS. It is concluded that C. coreana exhibited low seed germination at 10°C and that this temperature could be considered the upper limit of CS for C. coreana. Only 2 M CS was required for more than 90% seeds to germinate. However, C. sinensis var. calvescens required longer than 3 M CS for more than 29% seeds to germinate. This clearly shows that there is an interspecific variation in optimum dormancy-breaking requirements. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Three lines of turkeys were compared for response to an Escherichia coli challenge followed by transport stress (transport). The turkey lines were a slow-growing line selected for increased egg production (egg line), a fast-growing line selected for increased 16- wk BW (F line), and a commercial line (Comm line). Birds were challenged at 14 wk of age with an air sac injection of 5,000 to 10,000 cfu of E. coli. At 8 d postch- allenge, birds were subjected to a transport stress pro- cedure that included 12 h of holding time in a transport vehicle. The following morning all birds (n = 10 to 19 birds/line) were bled. Whole blood was analyzed using the Cell-Dyn 3500 blood analysis system (Abbott Diagnostics), and serum chemistry was measured using the Express Plus analyzer (Ciba-Corning Diagnostics Corp.). Transport significantly decreased the levels of hematocrit, hemoglobin, mean cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, phosphorus, iron, albumin, and alkaline phosphatase (AP) and increased the levels of uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatine kinase. Line differences were variable, but the levels of both iron and AP were least in the fastest-growing Comm line birds and greatest in the slowest-growing egg-line birds with intermediate values in the F line. Iron and AP were also the only parameters influenced by sex, with males having greater levels of both compared with females. The creatine kinase levels were more than 6-fold greater in transported Comm line birds, and iron levels of transported Comm males were 3-fold less than controls. Previously, the growth rate of these lines was positively correlated with increased heterophil to lymphocyte ratios and susceptibility to colibacillosis. The differences seen in the Comm line for these commonly measured blood parameters suggest that they may be useful for profiling flocks to determine their response to transport stress and feed withdrawal.

AB  - T-box genes encode a family of DNA-binding transcription factors implicated in numerous developmental processes in all metazoans. The Tbx2/3/4/5 subfamily genes are especially interesting because of their key roles in the evolution of vertebrate appendages, eyes, and the heart, and, like the Hox genes, the longevity of their chromosomal linkage. A BAC library derived from the single male amphioxus ( Branchiostoma floridae) used to sequence the amphioxus genome was screened for AmphiTbx2/3 and AmphiTbx4/5, yielding two independent clones containing both genes. Using comparative expression, genomic linkage, and phylogenetic analyses, we have reconstructed the evolutionary histories of these members of the T-box gene family. We find that the Tbx2–Tbx4 and Tbx3–Tbx5 gene pairs have maintained tight linkage in most animal lineages since their birth by tandem duplication, long before the divergence of protostomes and deuterostomes (e.g., arthropods and vertebrates) at least 600 million years ago, and possibly before the divergence of poriferans and cnidarians (e.g., sponges and jellyfish). Interestingly, we find that the gene linkage detected in all vertebrate genomes has been maintained in the primitively appendage-lacking, basal chordate, amphioxus. Although all four genes have been involved in the evolution of developmental programs regulating paired fin and (later) limb outgrowth and patterning, and most are also implicated in eye and heart development, linkage maintenance—often considered due to regulatory constraints imposed by limb, eye, and/or heart associated gene expression—is undoubtedly a consequence of other, much more ancient functional constraints.

AB  - Abstract: This study focuses on the differential induction of extracellular phenolic amides that accumulate in potato cell suspensions during the first few hours of the interaction between these plant cells and either bacterial pathogens or pathogen-related elicitors. Using suspension cells of Solanum tuberosum we identified 4 hydroxycinnamic acid amides that accumulate in the extracellular environment. Treatment of the suspension cells with pathovars of the plant pathogens Pseudomonas syringae or Ralstonia solanacearum or with pathogen-related elicitors changed the composition of the extracellular phenolic amides within hours and the composition differed for each treatment. Some of the phenolic amides were sensitive to oxidative stress; when suspension cells were treated with bacterial strains or elicitors that triggered an oxidative burst, the phenolics were oxidized and depleted for the duration of the burst. Other critical parameters that affected the qualitative and quantitative makeup of these phenolic amides were plant cell age and density. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Short-chain triacylglycerol, tributyrin (glyceryl-sn-1,2,3-tri-butyric acids), was interesterified with palm oil to produce mixtures of structured triacylglycerol (SL-TAG) species as a low-calorie lipid. Lipozyme RM IM from Rhizomucor miehei, known as a 1,3-regioselective immobilized lipase, was used as a catalyst. During 24h reaction, the reaction mixture was analyzed with Hypersil®BDSCPS high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column to determine neutral lipids composition. Also, the compositional changes of TAG, as well as monoacylglycerol (MAG)/diacylglycerol (DAG) as by-products, were determined. After 24h, 5.8g/100g DAG was found in the reaction mixture, while 89.5g/100g TAG was observed. The reaction mixture was also analyzed with Nova-Pak® C18 and Chrompack Si60 columns for separation of SL-TAG species. It was found that the normal-phase (NP)-HPLC with Chrompack Si60 column readily separated SL-TAG species composed of short- and long-chain acyl residues. Further, mass spectrometer was employed for identifying the separated SL-TAG molecules. SL-TAG containing two butyryl and one long-chain acyl residue (e.g., PBB and OBB) were most abundant in the interesterified product. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Leaf area index (LAI) is a key forest structural characteristic that serves as a primary control for exchanges of mass and energy within a vegetated ecosystem. Most previous attempts to estimate LAI from remotely sensed data have relied on empirical relationships between field-measured observations and various spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) derived from optical imagery or the inversion of canopy radiative transfer models. However, as biomass within an ecosystem increases, accurate LAI estimates are difficult to quantify. Here we use lidar data in conjunction with SPOT5-derived spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) to examine the extent to which integration of both lidar and spectral datasets can estimate specific LAI quantities over a broad range of conifer forest stands in the northern Rocky Mountains. Our results show that SPOT5-derived SVIs performed poorly across our study areas, explaining less than 50% of variation in observed LAI, while lidar-only models account for a significant amount of variation across the two study areas located in northern Idaho; the St. Joe Woodlands (R 2 =0.86; RMSE=0.76) and the Nez Perce Reservation (R 2 =0.69; RMSE=0.61). Further, we found that LAI models derived from lidar metrics were only incrementally improved with the inclusion of SPOT 5-derived SVIs; increases in R 2 ranged from 0.02–0.04, though model RMSE values decreased for most models (0–11.76% decrease). Significant lidar-only models tended to utilize a common set of predictor variables such as canopy percentile heights and percentile height differences, percent canopy cover metrics, and covariates that described lidar height distributional parameters. All integrated lidar-SPOT 5 models included textural measures of the visible wavelengths (e.g. green and red reflectance). Due to the limited amount of LAI model improvement when adding SPOT 5 metrics to lidar data, we conclude that lidar data alone can provide superior estimates of LAI for our study areas.

AB  - Weaned 3- to 4-month-old calves were fasted for 48 h, inoculated with 10[sup10] CFU of Shiga toxin-positive Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 strain 86-24 (STEC O157) or STEC O91:H21 strain B2F1 (STEC O91), Shiga toxin-negative E. coli O157:H7 strain 87-23 (Stx O157), or a nonpathogenic control E. coli strain, necropsied 4 days postinoculation, and examined bacteriologically and histologically. Some calves were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) for 5 days (3 days before, on the day of, and 1 day after inoculation). STEC 0157 bacteria were recovered from feces, intestines, or gall bladders of 74% (40/55) of calves 4 days after they were inoculated with STEC O157. Colon and cecum were sites from which inoculum-type bacteria were most often recovered. Histologic lesions of attaching-and-effacing (A/E) O157[sup+] bacteria were observed in 69% (38/55) of the STEC O157-inoculated calves. Rectum, ileocecal valve, and distal colon were sites most likely to contain A/E O157[sup+] bacteria. Fecal and intestinal levels of STEC O157 bacteria were significantly higher and A/E 0157[sup+] bacteria were more common in DEX-treated calves than in nontreated calves inoculated with STEC O157. Fecal STEC O157 levels were significantly higher than Stx O157, STEC O91, or control E. coli; only STEC O157 cells were recovered from tissues. Identifying the rectum, ileocecal valve, and distal colon as early STEC O157 colonization sites and finding that DEX treatment enhances the susceptibility of weaned calves to STEC O157 colonization will facilitate the identification and evaluation of interventions aimed at reducing STEC O157 infection in cattle.

AB  - A real-time PCR method has been developed to distinguish Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies in the gastrointestinal tracts of pigs. Identification of a highly conserved single-copy tuf gene encoding the elongation factor Tu involved in bacterial protein biosynthesis was used as a marker to differentiate homologous Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (strain Bb12) from Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis, as well as Bifidobacterium suis, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, several species of Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus faecium. Real-time PCR detection of serially diluted DNA extracted from a pure culture of Bb12 was linear for bacterial numbers ranging from 10 to 10,000 tuf gene copies per PCR (r[sup2] = 0.99). Relative differences in Bb12 bacterial numbers in pigs fed daily with Bb12 were determined after detection of Bb12 tuf gene copies in DNA extracted from the intestinal contents. Piglets treated with Bb12 immediately after birth maintained a high level of Bb12 in their large intestines with continuous daily administration of Bb12. Piglets born to Bb12-treated sows during the last third of their gestation and also treated with Bb12 at birth (T/T group) had a higher number of Bb12 organisms per gram of intestinal contents compared to placebo-treated piglets born to placebo-treated sows (C/C group), Bb12-treated sows (T/C group), or piglets born to placebo sows but treated with Bb12 immediately after birth (CIT group). In addition, there was a significant increase in gene expression for Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in piglets from the T/T group, with no change in TLR2 and TLR4. These findings suggest that the tuf gene represents a specific and functional marker for detecting Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis strain Bb12 within the microbiota of the intestine.

AB  - Abstract: Our goal was to evaluate effects of broad-scale changes in vegetation from grasslands to shrublands over the past 150 years on near-surface atmosphere over the Jornada Experimental Range in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, using a regional climate model. Simulations were conducted using 1858 and 1998 vegetation maps, and data collected in the field. Overall, the vegetation shift led to small changes in sensible heat (SH) and an increase in latent heat (LH). The impacts of shrub encroachment depended on shrubland type: conversion from grass to mesquite cools the near-surface atmosphere and from grass to creosotebush warms it. Higher albedo of mesquite relative to grasses reduced available energy, which was dissipated mainly as LH due to the deeper root system in mesquite. In creosotebush-dominated areas, a decrease in albedo, an increase in roughness length and displacement height contributed to the SH increase and warmer temperatures. Sensitivity simulations showed that an increase in soil moisture content enhanced shrub LH and a reduction in mesquite cover enhanced the temperature differences. The observed shift in vegetation led to complex interactions between land and surface fluxes, demonstrating that vegetation itself is a weather and climate variable as it significantly influences temperature and humidity.

AB  - Environmental isolates of the fungus Rhizopus have been shown to harbor a bacterial endosymbiont (Burkholderia) that produces rhixozin, a plant mycotoxin. We sought to define the role of rhizoxin production by endosymbionts in the pathogenesis of mucormycosis. Endosymbiotic bacteria were identified by polymerase chain reaction in 15 (54%) of 28 clinical isolates of Zygomycetes, with 33% of the bacterial strains showing⩾87% identity to Burkholderia 16S rDNA. The presence of rhizoxin in myclial extracts from fungi harboring bacteria was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. However, fungal strains with or without endosymbionts did not differ in their ability to cause endothelial cell injury in vitro, nor did antibiotic-mediated eradication of endosymbionts and rhizoxin production decrease the virulence of fungal strains in mice or flies. In summary, although bacterial endosymbiosis is widely detected in clinical isolates of Zygomycetes, including Rhizopus oryzae strains, we found no evidence that bacterial endosymbionts and rhizoxin contribute to the pathogenesis of mucormycosis in the models studied.

The maximum yield of monomeric sugars from rice hulls (15.0%, w/v) by lime pretreatment (100mgg−1 hulls, 121°C, 1h) and enzymatic saccharification (45°C, pH 5.0, 72h) using a cocktail of three commercial enzyme preparations (cellulase, β-glucosidase and hemicellulase) at the dose level of 0.15ml of each enzyme preparationg−1 hulls was 154±1mgg−1 (32% yield). The lime pretreatment did not generate any detectable furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural in the hydrolyzate. The concentration of ethanol from lime-pretreated enzyme-saccharified rice hull (138g) hydrolyzate by recombinant Escherichia coli strain FBR5 at pH 6.5 and 35°C in 19h was 9.8±0.5gl−1 with a yield of 0.49gg−1 available sugars. The ethanol concentration was 11.0±1.0gl−1 in the case of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation by the E. coli strain at pH 6.0 and 35°C in 53h. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Throughout the world, aflatoxin contamination is considered one of the most serious food safety issues concerning health. Chronic problems with preharvest aflatoxin contamination occur in the southern US, and are particularly troublesome in corn, peanut, cottonseed, and tree nuts. Drought stress is a major factor to contribute to preharvest aflatoxin contamination. Recent studies have demonstrated higher concentration of defense or stress-related proteins in corn kernels of resistant genotypes compared with susceptible genotypes, suggesting that preharvest field condition (drought or not drought) influences gene expression differently in different genotypes resulting in different levels of “end products”: PR(pathogenesis-related) proteins in the mature kernels. Because of the complexity of Aspergillus-plant interactions, better understanding of the mechanisms of genetic resistance will be needed using genomics and proteomics for crop improvement. Genetic improvement of crop resistance to drought stress is one component and will provide a good perspective on the efficacy of control strategy. Proteomic comparisons of corn kernel proteins between resistant or susceptible genotypes to Aspergillus flavus infection have identified stress-related proteins along with antifungal proteins as associated with kernel resistance. Gene expression studies in developing corn kernels are in agreement with the proteomic studies that defense-related genes could be upregulated or downregulated by abiotic stresses.

AB  - Abstract: This paper presents a geographic information system (GIS)-based method for recreational trail location for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) which considers environmental factors, as well as rider preferences for trail attributes. The method utilizes the Least-Cost Path algorithm within a GIS framework to optimize trail location. The trail location algorithm considered trail impacts and benefits associated with water bodies, slope, land ownership, noise, trail separation, views, and rider preferences for vegetation types and loop trails. Alternative trails were generated to highlight the influence of different preferences for trail attributes and to demonstrate the capabilities of the Least-Cost Path algorithm as applied to trail location. The method shows promise for use in generating ATV trails, as well as other types of recreational trails, for consideration in recreational planning and analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Unsteady problems involving the second grade fluids have received considerable attention in recent years. The present study is an attempt to look at the motion of an oscillating rod in a second grade fluid. Specifically, we solve numerically for the flow of a second grade fluid surrounding a solid cylindrical rod that is suddenly set into longitudinal and torsional motion. The equations are made dimensionless. The results are presented for the shear stresses at the wall, related to the drag force; these are physical quantities of interest, especially in oil-drilling applications. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The Freundlich model was evaluated for use to assess the effect of heat on the adsorption capacity of an activated carbon for decolorizing/deodorizing corn zein. Because zein protein and its color/odor components are all adsorbed by activated carbon, a method to monitor their removal was needed. Yellow color is due to xanthophylls; a contributor to off-odor is diferuloylputrescine. The off-odor component absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light at about 325nm and its removal coincides with removal of yellow color. A spectrophotometric method based on UV absorbances 280nm for protein and 325nm for the off-odor component was used to monitor their adsorptions onto activated carbon. Equilibrium studies were performed over temperature range from 25 to 60°C for zein dissolved in 70% aqueous ethanol. Runs made at 55°C adsorbed significantly more of the color/odor components than the protein. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Illustrated identification keys to strongylid parasites (strongylidae: Nematoda) of horses, zebras and asses (Equidae)

AB  - Abstract: The Equidae (the horse, Equus caballus, the ass, Equus asinus, zebras and their hybrids) are hosts to a great variety of nematode parasites, some of which can cause significant morbidity or mortality if individual hosts are untreated. Worldwide the nematode parasites of horses belong to 7 suborders, 12 families, 29 genera and 83 species. The great majority (19 of 29 genera and 64 of 83 species) are members of the family Strongylidae, which includes the most common and pathogenic nematode parasites of horses. Only the Strongylidae are included in this treatise. The Strongylidae (common name strongylids) of horses – nematodes with a well-developed buccal capsule, a mouth collar with two leaf-crowns, and a strongyloid (common name of superfamily Strongyloidea) copulatory bursa – can be separated into two subfamilies: Strongylinae (common name strongylins), usually large or medium-sized with a globular or funnel-shaped buccal capsule; and Cyathostominae (common name cyathostomins), usually small to medium-sized with a cylindrical buccal capsule. The increased attention to strongylid nematode parasites of horses has resulted in the need for updated diagnostic keys to these parasites using readily recognizable characters and the most recent literature on their systematics. Because the cyathostomins have been historically difficult to identify, and because they have emerged as the most significant nematode pathogens of horses, we provide a brief nomenclatural and taxonomic history and an introduction to the morphology of this group. This treatise is intended to serve as a basic working tool—providing easy identifications to genus and species of adult strongylid nematodes of equids. All strongylid nematodes normally parasitic in horses, the ass (and their hybrids), and zebras are included. The keys are illustrated with line drawings and halftone photomicrographs of each species. A short discussion of the systematics of the genus and species is provided for each genus following the species descriptions. Species diagnoses and a synonymy of each species is provided. Geographic distribution, prevalence, and location in host are also given for each species. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract  Cattle feedyards can impact local environments through emission of ammonia and dust deposited on nearby land. Impacts range from beneficial fertilization of cropland to detrimental effects on sensitive ecosystems. Shortgrass prairie downwind from an adjacent feedyard on the southern High Plains of Texas, USA changed from perennial grasses to annual weeds. It was hypothesized that N enrichment from the feedyard initiated the cascade of negative ecological change. Objectives were to determine the distribution of soil nitrogen and estimate N loading to the pasture. Soil samples were collected from 119 locations across the pasture and soil total N (TN), nitrate-N and ammonium-N (AN) determined in the top 30 cm. Soil TN concentration decreased with distance downwind from the feedyard from 1.6 ± 0.2 g kg−1 at 75 m to 1.2 ± 0.05 g kg−1 at 582 m. Nitrate-N concentration decreased within 200 m of the feedyard and changed little at greater distances. Ammonium-N concentration decreased linearly (P −1 within 75 m from the feedyard to 5.8 ± 1.5 mg kg−1 at more than 550 m from the feedyard; however, distance only explained 12% of the variability in AN concentration. Maximum nitrogen loading, from 75 to 106 m from the feedyard, was 49 kg ha−1 year−1 over 34 years and decreased with distance from the feedyard. An estimate of net dry deposition of ammonia indicated that it contributed negligibly to N loading to the pasture. Nitrogen enrichment that potentially shifted vegetation from perennial grasses to annual weeds affected soil N up to 500 m from the feedyard; however, measured organic and inorganic N beyond that returned to typical and expected levels for undisturbed shortgrass prairie.

AB  - Abstract: Sarcocystis neurona causes protozoal myeloencephalitis and has the ability to infect a wide host range in contrast to other Sarcocystis species. In the current study, five S. neurona isolates from a variety of sources, three Sarcocystis falcatula, one Sarcocystis dasypi/S. neurona-like isolate, and one Besnoitia darlingi isolate were used to compare the enolase 2 gene segment containing the domain I region to previously sequenced enolase genes from Neospora caninum, Neospora hughesi, Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium falciparum, and Trypanosoma cruzi; enolase 2 segment containing domain I region is highly conserved amongst these parasites of veterinary and medical importance. Immunohistochemistry results indicates reactivity of T. gondii enolase 1 and 2 antibodies to S. neurona merozoites and metrocytes, but no reactivity of anti-enolase 1 to the S. neurona bradyzoite stage despite reactivity to T. gondii bradyzoites, suggesting expression differences between organisms.

AB  - In an F2 population of 120 plants derived from a cross between 2 breeding lines with yellow ray flowers, we observed 111 plants with yellow-colored and 9 plants with lemon-colored ray flowers. The segregation pattern fits a 15:1 (χ²(15:1) = 0.32, P > 0.5) ratio, suggesting that the lemon ray flower color is conditioned by 2 independent recessive genes that had been contributed individually by each of the parents. We sampled 111 plants from the 3 F2:3 families displaying a 3 to 1 segregating ratio for genotyping with molecular markers. One of the genes, Yf1, was mapped onto linkage group 11 of the public sunflower map. A targeted region amplified polymorphism marker (B26P17Trap13-68) had a genetic distance of 1.5 cM to Yf1, and one simple sequence repeat marker (ORS733) and one expressed sequence tag (EST)-based marker (HT167) previously mapped to linkage group 11 were linked to Yf1 with distances of 9.9 and 2.3 cM, respectively.

AB  - Abstract: Ceramic candle filters are stiff composite tubes used in particle-removal during hot-gas filtration in coal energy generation. These filters are designed to withstand high temperature and pressure gradients. To determine the consistency in manufactured qualities of these filters, dynamic characterization method is recommended as a nondestructive evaluation technique. Six filters of the same manufactured batch were tested dynamically to establish the baseline properties of these filters. The test results are compared to theoretical values and are used to identify the variation in the manufactured products. This paper reports the frequencies in both transverse and axial directions indicating acceptable variations between all filters that are compatible to variations in measured physical parameters including density, stiffness and elastic modulus.

AB  - Abstract: The fate of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, or Escherichia coli O157:H7 were separately monitored both in and on soudjouk. Fermentation and drying alone reduced numbers of L. monocytogenes by 0.07 and 0.74log10 CFU/g for sausages fermented to pH 5.3 and 4.8, respectively, whereas numbers of S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were reduced by 1.52 and 3.51log10 CFU/g and 0.03 and 1.11log10 CFU/g, respectively. When sausages fermented to pH 5.3 or 4.8 were stored at 4, 10, or 21°C, numbers of L. monocytogenes, S. typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 decreased by an additional 0.08–1.80, 0.88–3.74, and 0.68–3.17log10 CFU/g, respectively, within 30 days. Storage for 90 days of commercially manufactured soudjouk that was sliced and then surface inoculated with L. monocytogenes, S. typhimurium, and E. coli O157:H7 generated average D-values of ca. 10.1, 7.6, and 5.9 days at 4°C; 6.4, 4.3, and 2.9 days at 10°C; 1.4, 0.9, and 1.6 days at 21°C; and 0.9, 1.4, and 0.25 days at 30°C. Overall, fermentation to pH 4.8 and storage at 21°C was the most effective treatment for reducing numbers of L. monocytogenes (2.54log10 CFU/g reduction), S. typhimurium (⩾5.23log10 CFU/g reduction), and E. coli O157:H7 (3.48log10 CFU/g reduction). In summary, soudjouk-style sausage does not provide a favorable environment for outgrowth/survival of these three pathogens. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Percent milling yield is an economically important trait of commercial rice because it largely determines the price that farmers receive for their crop. Analyzing 22 trait variables including milling yield, grain dimensions, chemistry and appearance, we identified 43 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in a long grain japonica by long grain japonica cross. We report one QTL explaining 20% of the variation in brown rice recovery; two QTLs explaining 14% and 13% of the variation in milled rice recovery; and one QTL explaining 14% of the variation in head rice (HR) recovery. QTLs for the proportion of pre-broken brown rice kernels, seed density, amylose content, and kernel whiteness and chalkiness were found in the same region as the HR QTL. QTLs explaining up to 54% of the variation in grain shape measurements were identified and mapped to areas independent from those identified for milling yield. Analyses of grain appearance traits identified two QTLs for chalk in brown rice and one in head rice, and a QTL explaining up to 33% of the variance in green kernel area. Our results confirm previous findings on the multigenically complex nature of milling yield. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Many infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are undiagnosed, particularly non-O157 STEC. We evaluated the use of a multiple protocol approach to improve diagnosis, isolation, and characterization of STEC strains. Among 18 presumptive STEC-positive stool samples received by the INOVA Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA, in 2006, 16 were Shiga toxin positive. From these 16 stool samples, 8 O157:H7 and 5 non-O157 STEC were isolated by plating onto sorbitol MacConkey (SMAC) agar. The remaining 5 stool samples that did not yield colonies on SMAC agar plates were enriched. All enriched samples were Shiga toxin positive, and 2 O157:H7 and 1 non-O157 STEC were subsequently isolated. The 2 remaining enriched samples did not yield isolates; however, based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, both samples contained STEC genes. Based on PCR analysis of non-O157 strains, 3 strain types were identified. Samples from 3 patients, received within 2 days of one another, had a similar gene profile—eae and stx 1 negative and stx 2 positive—suggesting that these patients were likely infected with the same strain. Our results indicate that a multiple protocol approach is necessary to reliably diagnose and isolate STEC strains, and that PCR profiling of strains could allow for more rapid identification of outbreaks.

AB  - High-temperature adult-plant (HTAP) resistance from the winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum) cultivar ‘Stephens’ has protected wheat crops from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici for 30 years. The objectives of this study were to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for HTAP resistance in Stephens through genetic linkage analysis and identify DNA markers linked to the QTL for use in marker-assisted breeding. Mapping populations consisted of 101 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) through single-seed descent from ‘Stephens’ (resistant) × ‘Michigan Amber’ (susceptible). F5, F6 and F7 RILs were evaluated for stripe rust resistance at Pullman, WA in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, whereas F8 RILs were evaluated at Mt Vernon, WA, USA in 2005. The 101 F8 RILs were evaluated with 250 resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP), 245 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 1 sequence tagged site (STS) markers for genetic linkage map construction. Two QTL, which explained 48–61% of the total phenotypic variation of the HTAP resistance in Stephens, were identified. QYrst.wgp-6BS.1 was within a 3.9-cM region flanked by Xbarc101 and Xbarc136. QYrst.wgp-6BS.2 was mapped in a 17.5-cM region flanked by Xgwm132 and Xgdm113. Both two QTL were physically mapped to the short arm of chromosome 6B, but in different bins. Validation and polymorphism tests of the flanking markers in 43 wheat genotypes indicated that the molecular markers associated with these QTL should be useful in marker-assisted breeding programs to efficiently incorporate HTAP resistance into new wheat cultivars.

The high performance observed during many of these field tests, coupled with the reliability of Hg control system operations, has given coal-fired power plant operators the confidence to begin deploying technology. As of April 2008, nearly 90 full-scale activated carbon injection (ACI) systems, a signature technology of the IEP Program, have been ordered by US coal-fired power generators. These contracts represent over 44 gigawatts of coal-fired electric generating capacity. The ACI systems have the potential to remove more than 90% of the Hg in most applications, at a cost that can dip below $10,000 per pound of Hg removed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Production of antifungal metabolites, including the polyketide 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), is one mechanism by which biocontrol strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens suppress soilborne fungal pathogens. P. fluorescens strains vary in ability to produce 2,4-DAPG, but the role of the host in modulating metabolite accumulation in the rhizosphere is not well defined. To examine 2,4-DAPG production and accumulation during early stages of rhizoplane interactions, we compared metabolite production by two P. fluorescens strains in culture and on seedling roots of three Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) cultivars, Buchanan, Finley, and Tara, in a soil-free system. P. fluorescens strain Q8r1-96, an aggressive colonizer of the wheat rhizosphere, produced 1850μg mL−1 2,4-DAPG after 48h of growth in King’s Medium B, significantly (P >0.05) more than 19.4μg mL−1 metabolite produced by the moderately aggressive strain Q2-87V1 under the same conditions. Rhizoplane levels of 2,4-DAPG after 4d of Q8r1-96 colonization were 1946, 1650, and 2767ngg−1 for Buchanan, Finley, and Tara, respectively. Metabolite levels obtained for Q2-87V1 colonization were 1468, 366, and 80ngg−1 on the respective cultivars. Strain Q8r1-96 deposited significantly (P <0.05) more 2,4-DAPG than Q2-87V1 on Tara and Finley roots, whereas both strains produced similar (P >0.05) amounts of the metabolite on Buchanan roots. In greenhouse experiments, take-all damage was reduced only on Tara roots inoculated with Q8r1-96. To our knowledge, this is the first report to compare 2,4-DAPG accumulation in the rhizoplanes of different cultivars, and to demonstrate that rhizoplane 2,4-DAPG accumulation depends on a cultivar–bacterial strain interaction.

AB  - Relationships among species assigned to the yeast genera Pichia, Issatchenkia and Williopsis, which are characterized by the ubiquinone CoQ-7 and inability to utilize methanol, were phylogenetically analyzed from nucleotide sequence divergence in the genes coding for large and small subunit rRNAs and for translation elongation factor-1α. From this analysis, the species separated into five clades. Species of Issatchenkia are members of the Pichia membranifaciens clade and are proposed for transfer to Pichia. Pichia dryadoides and Pichia quercuum are basal members of the genus Starmera. Williopsis species are dispersed among hat-spored taxa in each of the remaining three clades, which are proposed as the new genera Barnettozyma, Lindnera and Wickerhamomyces. Lineages previously classified as varieties of Pichia kluyveri, ‘ Issatchenkia’ scutulata, Starmera amethionina and ‘ Williopsis’ saturnus are elevated to species rank based on sequence comparisons.

AB  - Barley hull, a lignocellulosic biomass, was pretreated using aqueous ammonia, to be converted into ethanol. Barley hull was soaked in 15 and 30 wt.% aqueous ammonia at 30, 60, and 75°C for between 12h and 11 weeks. This pretreatment method has been known as “soaking in aqueous ammonia” (SAA). Among the tested conditions, the best pretreatment conditions observed were 75°C, 48h, 15wt.% aqueous ammonia and 1:12 of solid:liquid ratio resulting in saccharification yields of 83% for glucan and 63% for xylan with 15 FPU/g-glucan enzyme loading. Pretreatment using 15wt.% ammonia for 24–72h at 75°C removed 50–66% of the original lignin from the solids while it retained 65–76% of the xylan without any glucan loss. Addition of xylanase along with cellulase resulted in synergetic effect on ethanol production in SSCF (simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation) using SAA-treated barley hull and recombinant E. coli (KO11). With 3% w/v glucan loading and 4mL of xylanase enzyme loadings, the SSCF of the SAA treated barley hull resulted 24.1g/L ethanol concentration at 15 FPU cellulase/g-glucan loading, which corresponds to 89.4% of the maximum theoretical yield based on glucan and xylan. SEM results indicated that SAA treatment increased surface area and the pore size. It is postulated that these physical changes enhance the enzymatic digestibility in the SAA treated barley hull.

AB  - Abstract: Postprandial lipemia is traditionally defined by the extent and duration of the increase in plasma triglycerides in response to a fat-enriched meal. The relationship between alimentary lipemia and coronary disease is of great interest in view of the epidemiological and experimental evidence that underlies it. The rate of synthesis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, lipoprotein lipase-mediated triglyceride hydrolysis, and the hepatic capture of chylomicron remnants via the interaction of the lipoprotein receptor with APOE and LPL, are the fundamental pillars of the metabolism and modification of these lipoproteins. The modulation of such phenomena is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, thus explaining their extraordinary individual variance. This review presents the current evidence linking a number of candidate genes to the modulation of postprandial lipid metabolism. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Several outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections have been associated with minimally processed leafy vegetables in the United States. Harvesting and processing cause plant tissue damage. In order to assess the role of plant tissue damage in the contamination of leafy greens with E. coli O157:H7, the effect of mechanical, physiological, and plant disease-induced lesions on the growth of this pathogen on postharvest romaine lettuce was investigated. Within only 4 h after inoculation, the population sizes of E. coli 0157:H7 increased 4.0-, 4.5-, and 11.0-fold on lettuce leaves that were mechanically bruised, cut into large pieces, and shredded into multiple pieces, respectively. During the same time, E. coli 0157:H7 population sizes increased only twofold on leaves that were left intact after harvest. Also, the population size of E. coli 0157:H7 was 27 times greater on young leaves affected by soft rot due to infection by Erwinia chrysantheini than on healthy middle-aged leaves. Confocal microscopy revealed that leaf tip burn lesions, which are caused by a common physiological disorder of lettuce, harbored dense populations of E. coli O157:H7 cells both internally and externally. Investigation of the colonization of cut lettuce stems by E. coli 0157:H7 showed that the pathogen grew 11-fold over 4 h of incubation after its inoculation onto the stems, from which large amounts of latex were released. The results of this study indicate that plant tissue damage of various types can promote significant multiplication of E. coli O157:H7 over a short time and suggest that harvesting and processing are critical control points in the prevention or reduction of E. coli O157:H7 contamination of lettuce.

AB  - Abstract: A previously reported multiresidue method for the analysis of 11 important β-lactams (amoxicillin, ampicillin, cefazolin, cephalexin, cloxacillin, desfuroylceftiofur cysteine disulfide (DCCD), deacetylcephapirin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, and penicillin G) in bovine kidney has been further streamlined. The method is based on a simple extraction using acetonitrile–water (4:1, v/v), followed by dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up with C18 sorbent, concentration of an extract aliquot, and filtration of the final extracts using syringeless filter vials, which are used for the sample introduction in the liquid chromatographic–tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS/MS) analysis. The recoveries have been improved by adding the internal standard [13C6]sulfamethazine to the homogenized sample before the extraction step, which enabled a proper control of the volume changes during the sample preparation. Average recoveries of fortified samples were 87–103% for all β-lactams, except for DCCD, which had an average recovery of 60%. Based on the results of the stability study and LC mobile phase tests, methanol has been eliminated from the entire method, including the LC–MS/MS analysis. The best overall LC–MS/MS (electrospray positive ionization) performance was achieved by using 0.1% formic acid as an additive in both parts of the mobile phase, in water and in acetonitrile. To prevent carry-over in the LC–MS/MS analysis, the LC method was divided into two parts: one serving as an analytical method for injection of the sample and elution of the analytes and the other one, starting at a highly organic mobile phase composition, being dedicated for injection of a solvent, washing of the system, and equilibration of the column to the initial conditions of the analytical method. In this way, a blank solvent is injected after each sample, but these in-between injections contribute minimally to the overall sample throughput. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate the molecular and dissociative adsorption of H2S on the closed packed surfaces of a number of important noble metals (Ag(111), Au(111) and Cu(111)) and transition metals (Ir(111), Ni(111), Pd(111) and Pt(111)). Energy minima corresponding to adsorbed states were identified with H2S binding preferentially at the top sites. The adsorption of other S moieties (SH and S) was also examined. SH and S were found to prefer bridge sites and hollow sites, respectively. The binding of H2S and its S-containing dissociated species is stronger on the transition metals. The elementary reactions of abstraction of H from H2S to form a surface SH intermediate and abstraction of H from SH to form a surface S intermediate as model pathways for the dissociation of H2S were examined.

AB  - Summary: This research addressed the temporal and spatial variation of soil moisture (SM) in a heterogeneous landscape. The research objective was to investigate soil moisture variation in eight homogeneous 30 by 30m plots, similar to the pixel size of a Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) or Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) image. The plots were adjacent to eight stations of an in situ soil moisture network operated by the United States Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service USDA-ARS in Tifton, GA. We also studied five adjacent agricultural fields to examine the effect of different landuses/land covers (LULC) (grass, orchard, peanuts, cotton and bare soil) on the temporal and spatial variation of soil moisture. Soil moisture field data were collected on eight occasions throughout 2005 and January 2006 to establish comparisons within and among eight homogeneous plots. Consistently throughout time, analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed high variation in the soil moisture behavior among the plots and high homogeneity in the soil moisture behavior within them. A precipitation analysis for the eight sampling dates throughout the year 2005 showed similar rainfall conditions for the eight study plots. Therefore, soil moisture variation among locations was explained by in situ local conditions. Temporal stability geostatistical analysis showed that soil moisture has high temporal stability within the small plots and that a single point reading can be used to monitor soil moisture status for the plot within a maximum 3% volume/volume (v/v) soil moisture variation. Similarly, t-statistic analysis showed that soil moisture status in the upper soil layer changes within 24h. We found statistical differences in the soil moisture between the different LULC in the agricultural fields as well as statistical differences between these fields and the adjacent 30 by 30m plots. From this analysis, it was demonstrated that spatial proximity is not enough to produce similar soil moisture, since t-test’s among adjacent plots with different LULCs showed significant differences. These results confirm that a remote sensing approach that considers homogeneous LULC landscape fragments can be used to identify landscape units of similar soil moisture behavior under heterogeneous landscapes. In addition, the in situ USDA-ARS network will serve better in remote sensing studies in which sensors with fine spatial resolution are evaluated. This study is a first step towards identifying landscape units that can be monitored using the single point reading of the USDA-ARS stations network. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The extent to which production methods alter intestinal microbial communities of livestock is currently unknown. As the intestinal microbiota may affect animal health, nutrition, and food safety, a baseline comparison of the cecal communities of domestic and wild turkeys was performed. Oligonucleotide fingerprinting of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes (OFRG) of 2,990 16S rRNA clones and dot blot quantification of dominant populations were used to identify the dominant bacterial taxa. Seventy-three percent of all the clones belonged to as yet uncultured genera. However, at a higher phylogenetic level, the OFRG library was composed of 54% Bacteroidetes clones (52% of the domestic library clones, 56% of the wild library clones), 30% Firmicutes clones (33% of the domestic library clones, 32% of the wild library clones), 3% Proteobacteria clones (5% domestic, 2% wild), and 3% Deferribacteres clones (4% domestic, 1% wild). Seven percent of the clones were unidentifiable (6% domestic, 9% wild). Bacteroidetes clones included the genera Alistipes, Prevotella, Megamonas, and Bacteroides. Of the Clostridiales clones, groups IV, IX, and XIV including genera Faecalibacterium, Megasphaera, Phascolarctobacterium, and Papillibacter were predominant. Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus bacilli were also identified. β- δ- and γ-proteobacterial genera included Acinetobacter, Sutterella, and Escherichia. Deferribacteres clones showed high similarity to Mucispirillum schaedleri. Statistical comparison of the domestic and wild turkey clone libraries indicated similar levels of community richness and evenness despite the fact that the two libraries shared only 30% of the total clone operational taxonomic units. Together these results indicate that although high level taxonomic community structure is similar, high-density turkey production causes considerable divergence of the genera found in the ceca of commercial birds from those of their wild counterparts.

AB  - Abstract: The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has developed NRCS GeoHydro 9x, a new ArcGIS application, to complement the WinTR–20 application and assist USDA field staff, and other government, private, and foreign organizations. WinTR–20 is a storm event hydrologic model used to evaluate impacts of structural and land treatment measures. NRCS GeoHydro 9x, using geographic information systems (GIS) tools and techniques, performs hydrologic modeling on a drainage area to compute its catchments, drainage points, drainage lines, slope, runoff curve number, longest flow path, time of concentration (Tc ), and cross-section details. The application acts as a GIS interface to WinTR–20 by exporting the results of GIS analyses of the drainage area in the input format of WinTR–20. NRCS GeoHydro 9x reinforces the idea that GIS tools and techniques enhance productivity by doing preliminary hydrologic analysis of the drainage area in an objective and accurate manner in a relatively short duration.

AB  - Abstract: An automated direct sample introduction technique coupled to comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (DSI-GC×GC/TOF-MS) was applied for the development of a relatively fast and easy analytical screening method for 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and 4 non-ortho polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish oil. Comparison of instrumental performance between DSI-GC×GC/TOF-MS and the traditional gas chromatographic high resolution mass spectrometric (GC-HRMS) method showed good agreement of results for standard solutions analyzed in blind fashion. Relatively high tolerance of the DSI technique for lipids in the final extracts enabled a streamlined sample preparation procedure that only required gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup with graphitized carbon black. The sample size for the method was 2g of cod liver oil, which achieved limits of quantitation (LOQs) of 0.019–7.8pg/g toxic equivalent quotients for the individual PCDD/Fs. Lower detection limits can be achieved by using larger sample size and scaling up the sample preparation procedure, but this adds to the labor, time, solvent consumption, and expense of the approach. However, the streamlined method yielded 0.94pg/g and 2.3pg/g LOQs for 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro dibenzofuran (TCDF) and 3,3′,4,4′,5-pentachloro biphenyl (CB126), which were sufficiently low for regulatory monitoring of 2g samples. Therefore, instead of congener specific analysis, this streamlined analytical screening method for TCDF and CB126 has the potential to monitor fish oil contaminated with dioxin and dioxin-like PCBs at or above current food safety limits. Acceptable recoveries for nearly all analytes at three different spiking levels in fish oil samples were achieved with good repeatability. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The stigmatic secretions of pomaceous flowers serve as a natural medium not only for pollen, but also for the pathogen Erwinia amyiovora (Burr.) Winslow et al. and other microorganisms. To understand the microecology on the stigma, exudates from cultivars of pear (Pyrus communis L.), apple (Malus pumila P. Mill.), and crab apple [Malus mandshurica (Maxim.) Kom.] were analyzed for free sugars and free amino acids as available carbon and nitrogen sources. Extracts were obtained at different stages of anthesis by submerging and sonicating stigmas in water. Certain free sugars (glucose and fructose) and free amino acids (proline, asparagine, glutamic acid, and glutamine) were consistently predominant and increased during anthesis. Apple stigma extracts were also analyzed for polysaccharides and proteins. Of major components identified for apple, free sugars made up 4.5% by mass; polysaccharides (composed of arabinose and galactose), 49.6%; and proteins, 45.9%. The two largest components are likely present as glycoproteins. This may be the first report on characteristics of rosaceous stigma exudates that includes the identity of specific free sugars, free amino acids, and polysaccharide subcomponents. Discussion includes the comparison of pomaceous stigma exudates to those of other plants and the microecological implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - DNA polymorphisms are valuable for several applications including genotyping, molecular mapping and marker-assisted selection. The 55 K Affymetrix Wheat GeneChip was used to survey expression level polymorphisms (ELPs) and single-feature polymorphisms (SFPs) between two near-isogenic wheat genotypes (BC7:F4) that differ for the Yr5 stripe rust resistance locus, with the objective of developing genetic markers linked to Yr5. Ninety-one probe sets showing ELPs and 118 SFP-containing probe sets were identified between isolines, of which just nine ELP probe sets also contained SFPs. The proportion of the transcriptome estimated to be variable between isolines from this analysis was 0.30% for the ELPs and 0.39% for the SFPs, which was highly similar to the theoretical genome difference between isolines of ~0.39%. Using wheat-rice synteny, both ELPs and SFPs mainly clustered on long arms of rice chromosomes four and seven, which are syntenous to wheat chromosomes 2L ( Yr5 locus) and 2S, respectively. The strong physical correlation between the two types of polymorphism indicated that the ELPs may be regulated by cis-acting DNA polymorphisms. Twenty SFPs homologous to rice 4L were used to develop additional genetic markers for Yr5. Physical mapping of the probe sets containing SFPs to wheat chromosomes identified nine on the target chromosome 2BL, thus wheat-rice synteny greatly enhanced the selection of SFPs that were located on the desired wheat chromosome. Of these nine, four were converted into polymorphic cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers between Yr5 and yr5 isolines, and one was mapped within 5.3 cM of the Yr5 locus. This study represents the first array-based polymorphism survey in near-isogenic genotypes, and the results are applied to an agriculturally important trait. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The advanced energy initiative to reduce the nation’s future demand for oil has resulted in the definition of a number of pathways for the development of the bio-renewables industry. This paper gives an overview of the pathways which could lead to both ethanol and other types of bio-products. The methods that would be used for cellulose conversion also apply to adding value for the co-products of ethanol production. Process milestones and pathways for research that would enable corn dry mill operations to improve are described. A corn dry mill improvement pathway is outlined, and introduces the topics that are covered in this particular special volume. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The United States imports approximately 58% of its petroleum and about 2/3 of that is used for propulsion of cars and light trucks [The White House National Economic Council. Advanced Energy Initiative, http://www.whitehouse.gov/stateoftheunion/2006/energy/energy_booklet.pdf ; 2006]. It is important to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Hydrogen-fueled fuel cells for transportation have the potential to solve these problems. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting research, development and demonstration of several types of fuel cells, including polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, primarily for transportation applications. PEM technologies being developed with funding from DOE include electrolyte and membrane materials, catalyst and support materials, water management (including freeze/thaw) in the cell and stack, and bipolar plates. The effort is focused on the key issues of performance, durability, and cost. This paper provides an overview of the progress being made with DOE support. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The in vitro effects of supplemental inulin (4%) on iron (Fe) availability in two different probiotic-containing yogurts were examined. Milk or soy-based yogurts, with and without inulin, were incubated (37°C) for 48h or without any incubation before comparison by an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion/Caco-2 cell culture model was used to assess iron bioavailability. The dialysable Fe fraction, cell ferritin formation, and cell associated Fe were monitored. Supplemental inulin decreased dialysable Fe only in non-incubated milk-based yogurt. In both yogurts incubation by itself increased dialysable Fe, and inulin increased the latter only in soy-based yogurt. Cellular ferritin concentration were higher after exposure to non-incubated milk-based than soy-based yogurt, although, after incubation the latter induced the highest ferritin formation. These data suggest that inulin does not have a direct effect on Fe bioavailability in the small intestine, and that probiotic bacteria play an enhancing role on Fe bioavailability.

AB  - Abstract: Straw that is produced as a coproduct of cereal grain and grass seed production on 24,000km2 in the Pacific Northwest states of Idaho (ID), Oregon (OR) and Washington (WA) has potential as a bioenergy feedstock. Previous attempts to develop approaches to convert straw to energy based on transporting straw to a conversion facility were uneconomical. Rising energy prices and the availability of new technologies have renewed interest in converting these lignocellulosic residues to energy products, especially liquid fuels [Perlack RD, Wright LL, Turhollow AF, Graham RL, Stokes BJ, Erbach DC. Biomass as feedstock for a bioenergy and bioproducts industry: the technical feasibility of a billion-ton annual supply, 2005. http://feedstockreview.ornl.gov/pdf/billion_ton_vision.pdf (website accessed December 2007). ], but information on the distribution of these resources is lacking. Development of an economic approach to convert this straw to energy will require an assessment of the regional distribution of available straw to identify an appropriate scale of conversion technology that optimally reduces straw collection and transportation costs. We utilized county-scale US Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) data to quantify total grass seed and cereal straw production in each county of ID, OR and WA, subtracted the county-specific quantity of field residue for each crop, and developed an estimate of available straw, that remaining after sufficient straw is returned to the soil for conservation. At current straw yields, over 6.5Mt of straw in excess of that required for conservation purposes are available in the region. This straw is distributed across the landscape at an average density of 2.4Mgha−1 and in many locations will require small- or local-scale technology to enable economical conversion of the feedstock to energy.

AB  - In Brazil and Argentina, vesicular stomatitis (VS) is caused by distinct viral strains serologically related to the classical vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana (VSIV), namely VS Indiana-2 (VSIV-2) and VS Indiana-3 (VSIV-3). Here we describe the full-length genomic sequences and organization of the prototype strains of VSIV-2 Cocal virus (COCV) and VSIV-3 Alagoas virus (VSAV). These viruses showed similar genomic organizations to VSIV field isolates except that the non-structural C′/C proteins, markedly conserved throughout the vesiculoviruses, were absent in VSAV. Phylogenetic analyses consistently grouped COCV, VSAV and VSIV in a monophyletic group distinct from VSNJV, supporting the classification of these viruses within the Indiana serogroup.

AB  - Long-distance migration of adult corn earworm moths (Helicoverpa zea), and several other noctuid moth species, facilitates seasonal expansion of pest populations and consequent increased infestations of agricultural crops on a continental scale in North America. Long-term field studies of population dynamics and migratory flights of H. zea and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in the United States were evaluated using X-band radar observations and profiles of atmospheric conditions. These studies identified characteristic patterns of migratory flight that are largely associated with vertical profiles of temperature and wind speed. Collective patterns of moth migrations were generally highly correlated with wind headings, but often at a significant angular deviation. Preliminary analyses are presented between moth distributions in the aerosphere estimated from discrete moth counts using X-band radar and bulk reflectivity data from NEXRAD Doppler radar. Identification of associations between atmospheric factors and noctuid population dynamics and migratory flights will improve the ability to predict infestations by pest species throughout their broad seasonal range expansion.

AB  - Abstract: In this paper we provide a brief review of the basic equations for the flow of two linearly viscous fluids using the mixture theory equations given in Atkin and Craine [R.J. Atkin, R.E. Craine, Continuum theories of mixtures: applications, J. Inst. Math. Appl. 17 (1976) 153; R.J. Atkin, R.E. Craine, Continuum theories of mixtures: basic theory and historical development, Quart. J. Mech. Appl. Math. 29 (1976) 290]. We then look at certain principles (or more accurately assumptions) due to Truesdell [C. Truesdell, Sulle basi della thermomeccanica, Rand Lincei, Series 8 22 (1957) 33–38, and 158–166] and Adkins [J.E. Adkins, Non-linear diffusion, 1. Diffusion and flow of mixtures of fluids, Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London A 255 (1963) 607–633; J.E. Adkins, Non-linear diffusion, 2. Constitutive equations for mixtures of isotropic fluids, Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London A 255 (1963) 635–648] and show that if the ‘assumption of the limiting cases’ of Adkins is to hold, then a very specific structure on the material properties of the two fluids has to be imposed. This new hypothesis provides one such condition for this requirement. An attempt is made to derive a relationship for the mixture viscosity using these ideas. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Failure of the Scan Line Corrector (SLC) on the Landsat ETM+ sensor has had a major impact on many applications that rely on continuous medium resolution imagery to meet their objectives. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cropland Data Layer (CDL) program uses Landsat imagery as the primary source of data to produce crop-specific maps for 20 states in the USA. A new method has been developed to fill the image gaps resulting from the SLC failure to support the needs of Landsat users who require coincident spectral data, such as for crop type mapping and monitoring. We tested the new gap-filled method for a CDL crop type mapping project in eastern Nebraska. Scan line gaps were simulated on two Landsat 5 images (spring and late summer 2003) and then gap-filled using landscape boundary models, or segment models, that were derived from 1992 and 2002 Landsat images (used in the gap-fill process). Various date combinations of original and gap-filled images were used to derive crop maps using a supervised classification process. Overall kappa values were slightly higher for crop maps derived from SLC-off gap-filled images compared to crop maps derived from the original imagery (0.3-1.3% higher). Although the age of the segment model used to derive the SLC-off gap-filled product did not negatively impact the overall agreement, differences in individual cover type agreement did increase (-0.8%-1.6% using the 2002 segment model to -5.0-5.1% using the 1992 segment model). Classification agreement also decreased for most of the classes as the size of the segment used in the gap-fill process increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context • Lead toxicity is an ongoing concern worldwide, and children, the most vulnerable to the long-lasting effects of lead expo- sure, are in urgent need of a safe and effective heavy metal chelating agent to overcome the heavy metals and lead exposure challenges they face day to day. Objective • This clinical study was performed to determine if the oral administration of modified citrus pectin (MCP) is effective at lowering lead toxicity in the blood of children between the ages of 5 and 12 years. Method . Hospitalized children with a blood serum level greater than 20 μg/dL, as measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), who had not received any form of chelating and/or detoxification medication for 3 months prior were given 15 g of MCP (PectaSol) in 3 divided dosages a day. Blood serum and 24-hour urine excretion collection GFAAS analysis were performed on day 0, day 14, day 21, and day 28. Result • This study showed a dramatic decrease in blood serum levels of lead (P=.0016; 161% average change) and a dramatic increase in 24-hour urine collection (P=.0007; 132% average change). Conclusion • The need for a gentle, safe heavy metal-chelating agent, especially for children with high environmental chronic expo- sure, is great. The dramatic results and no observed adverse effects in this pilot study along with previous reports of the safe and effective use of MCP in adults indicate that MCP could be such an agent. Further studies to confirm its benefits are justified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: In this article, we provide a brief review of some generalizations of the second grade fluid model. We discuss certain similarities between these fluids and fluids of higher grades, while also describing certain limitations of these models. The new models that we put forth are based upon some interesting experimental results which suggest that not only can normal stress coefficients depend upon the shear rate, but that this dependency is in fact not the same rate as that of shear viscosity variation with shear rate. We then discuss some steady flows of these generalized second grade fluid models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In-beam experiments investigating cavitation damage in short pulse mercury spallation targets were performed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center – Weapons Neutron Research (LANSCE – WNR) facility in 2005. Two main areas were investigated. First, damage dependence on three mercury conditions – stagnant, flowing, and flowing with bubble injection – was investigated by employing a small mercury target loop with replaceable damage test specimens. One hundred beam pulses were passed through the loop mercury and specimen pair for each test condition. Damage with flowing mercury (V =0.4m/s) was less than half that which was incurred with stagnant mercury. Gas bubble injection added into the flow further reduced damage to about one-fourth that of stagnant mercury. Acoustic emissions from cavitation bubble collapse were concurrently measured on the exterior of the loop using a laser Doppler vibrometer and were correlated to the observed damage. The second area of experimentation was erosion rate dependence on proton beam intensity. Prior research had indicated that incubation-phase cavitation erosion rate is strongly dependent on beam intensity, by a power law with the exponent perhaps as large as 4. The 2005 results are inconsistent with earlier in-beam test results and do not support the power law dependence. This paper will provide a detailed description of the experiment, present results and discuss the findings. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Partial oxidation of methane (POM) was studied over Rh/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x , Rh/(Ce0.91Gd0.09)O2−x , Rh/(Ce0.71Gd0.29)O2−x and Rh/(Ce0.88La0.12)O2−x . The effect of catalyst reducibility and redox cycles was investigated. It was found that the type of doped-ceria support and its reducibility played an important role in catalyst activity. It was also observed that redox cycles had a positive influence on H2 production, which was enhanced as the number of redox cycle increased. Results of carbon formation are discussed as a function of ionic conductivity. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) profiles, BET surface area, ionic conductivity and XRD patterns were determined to characterize catalysts. Catalytic tests revealed that of the materials tested, Rh/(Ce0.56Zr0.44)O2−x was the most active material for the production of syngas, which correlates with its TPR profile. It was observed that doping CeO2 with Zr, rather than with La or Gd caused an enhanced reducibility of Rh/supported-ceria catalysts. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Neuroinvasion of the enteric nervous system by prions is an important step in dissemination to the brain, yet very little is known about the basic process of enteric neuroinvasion. Using an alimentary model of neonatal disease transmission, neuroinvasion by scrapie prions in the ileum of lambs was detected by immunohistochemical staining for the disease-associated form of the prion protein, PrPSc. Odds ratios (OR) were determined for the frequency of PrPSc staining within enteric somata categorized by plexus location (myenteric, submucosal) and neurochemical staining (PGP 9.5, neural nitric oxide synthase, somatostatin, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide). PrPSc was observed in 4.48 ± 4.26% of myenteric neurons and 2.57 ± 1.82% of submucosal neurons in five lambs aged 208–226 days but not in a lamb aged 138 days. The relative frequency of PrPSc within enteric somata was interdependent on plexus location and neurochemical type. Interestingly, PrPSc was observed more frequently within myenteric neurons than in submucosal neurons (PGP 9.5; OR = 1.72, 95% confidence interval = 1.21–2.44), and was observed within the myenteric plexus approximately 4× (2.16–6.94) more frequently in somatostatin neurons than in the general neural population stained by PGP 9.5. Nerve fibers stained for somatostatin were present in the mucosa and near PrPSc staining within Peyer’s patches. The results suggest that somatostatin-expressing enteric neurons, with fiber projections near Peyer’s patches, but with somata present in greatest proportion within the myenteric plexus, are an early target for neuroinvasion by scrapie prions and could serve an important role in neural dissemination.

AB  - We studied nitrogen (N) cycling pools and processes across vegetation and elevation gradients in the southern Appalachian Mountains in SE USA. Measurements included bulk deposition input, watershed export, throughfall fluxes, litterfall, soil N pools and processes, and soil solution N. N deposition increased with elevation and ranged from 9.5 to 12.4 kg ha-1 yr-1. In all sites canopies retained inorganic N and lost organic N; net canopy retention varied among vegetation types. The high elevation site had the greatest litterfall N, soil N transformations, soil solution N, and greater stream N exports (0.60 kg ha-1 yr-1). Low elevation sites had lower litterfall N, soil N transformations, and soil solution N. Low stream N exports (0.14 kg ha-1 yr-1) suggested N limitation. Multivariate analyses showed that abiotic variables account for up to 63% of the variation in biotic site characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Liquid egg white is currently pasteurized using heat; however, this treatment damages the functional properties of the egg. In this study, a nonthermal ultraviolet light (UV) system was developed to pasteurize liquid egg white. The system consisted of low-pressure mercury bulbs surrounded by UV transparent tubing. Egg white was inoculated with Escherichia coli K12 and pumped through the UV system at a flow rate of 330 ml/min. The effects of treatment time (0 to 160 s), temperature (30 to 50 °C), and egg white pH (7 to 9) on the inactivation of E. coli were investigated. The population of E. coli in egg white was reduced by 4.3 log after being exposed to UV at 50 °C for 160 s. Inactivation was linearly dependent on treatment time and was adequately described using first-order kinetics (r² of 0.94). The electrical energy of the process was calculated to be 44 J/ml. Inactivation was directly dependent on temperature and inversely dependent on pH. Nonthermal UV processing has the potential to improve the safety and functional properties of liquid egg white.

AB  - Commercial hybrids of cultivated sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) are obtained by crossing a cytoplasmic male sterile line (A-line) with a restorer pollinator (R-line). The incorporation of a recessive branching trait to extend the pollination period of R-lines during hybrid seed production is laborious and time-consuming. By using target region polymorphism (TRAP) and bulked segregant analysis (BSA), we identified 15 TRAP markers linked to the b  1  (branching) locus in a population of 229 F2 plants derived from a cross between nonbranched (HA 234) and branched (RHA 271) lines. TBr4-720 and TBr8-555 markers were linked to the b  1  gene in the coupling phase at 0.5 cM (0.004 recombination frequency). The Tbr20-297 and Tbr20-494 markers flanked the b  1  locus in the repulsion phase at genetic distances of 7.5 and 2.5 cM, respectively. Tbr19-395, also in the repulsion phase, mapped at 3.8 cM from the b  1  locus and on the opposite side of the marker Tbr20-297. The 8A1 and 15B3 restriction fragment length polymorphic (RFLP) markers of linkage group (LG) 16 of the RHA 271 × HA 234 cultivated sunflower map anchored the b  1  LG onto the RFLP map. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based markers tightly linked to the recessive b  1  gene have been developed. Their identification and the incorporation of the LG containing the b  1  locus onto an RFLP map will be useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding programs and provide the bases for map-based cloning of this gene.

AB  - Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases in cattle and remains among the most costly diseases to the dairy industry. Various surveys have indicated a greater prevalence of and risk for mastitis in Holstein cows than in Jersey cows. The innate immune system comprises the immediate host defense mechanisms that respond to infection, and differences in the magnitude and rapidity of this response are known to influence susceptibility to and clearance of infectious pathogens. The reported differences in the prevalence of mastitis between Holstein and Jersey cows may suggest the occurrence of breed-dependent differences in the innate immune response to intramammary infection. The objective of the current study was to compare the acute phase and cytokine responses of Holstein and Jersey cows following intramammary infection by the bacterial pathogen Escherichia coli, a leading cause of clinical mastitis. All cows in the study were in similar stages of lactation, of the same parity, subjected to the same housing and management conditions, and experimentally infected on the same day with the same inoculum preparation. Before and after infection, the following innate immune parameters were monitored: bacterial clearance; febrile response; induction of the acute phase proteins serum amyloid A and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein; alterations in total and differential white blood cell counts; changes in milk somatic cell counts and mammary vascular permeability; and induction of the cytokines IFN-γ IL-lβ, IL-8, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-a. Overall innate immune responses were similar between the 2 breeds; however, temporal differences in the onset, cessation, and duration of several responses were detected. Despite these differences, intramammary clearance of E. coli was comparable between the breeds. Together, these data demonstrate a highly conserved innate immune response of Holstein and Jersey cows to E. coli intramammary infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - AbstractThe ability to initiate radicle elongation, or germination potential, occurs in developing embryos before the completion of seed maturation. Green embryos after the walking-stick stage in developing Arabidopsis thalianaseeds germinate when excised from seeds and incubated in Murashige?Skoog (MS) medium containing 1% sucrose. Germination potential is not observed during early embryogenesis at the globular, heart and torpedo stages. Here, we describe an Arabidopsismutant with embryos arrested at early stages of development, but still exhibiting germination potential. The mutant, termed embryo ball(eb), produced shrunken seeds containing round or irregularly shaped embryos that did not germinate. The round embryos excised from developing ebseeds were capable of growing a primary root with root hairs when incubated in media. In contrast, cotyledons were absent at the apical region of the ebembryos, although the apical region produced leaf-like structures with trichomes, indicating vegetative leaf identity. These observations suggested that morphological maturation was not essential for the induction of germination potential. The ebembryos exhibited partial desiccation tolerance that is characteristic of mature embryos at later stages of development, suggesting that cell maturation was also independent of morphological maturation. The ebmutant provides novel information on cell and tissue identity in developmental biology, as well as a useful tool to dissect the mechanisms underlying the induction of germination potential in developing seeds.

AB  - Abstract  A fosmid library of cucumber was synthesized as an unrestricted resource for researchers and used for comparative sequence analyses to assess synteny between the cucumber and melon genomes, both members of the genus Cucumis and the two most economically important plants in the family Cucurbitaceae. End sequencing of random fosmids produced over 680 kilobases of cucumber genomic sequence, of which 25% was similar to ribosomal DNAs, 25% to satellite sequences, 20% to coding regions in other plants, 4% to transposable elements, 13% to mitochondrial and chloroplast sequences, and 13% showed no hits to the databases. The relatively high frequencies of ribosomal and satellite DNAs are consistent with previous analyses of cucumber DNA. Cucumber fosmids were selected and sequenced that carried eukaryotic initiation factors (eIF) 4E and iso(4E), genes associated with recessively inherited resistances to potyviruses in a number of plants. Indels near eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E mapped independently of the zym, a recessive locus conditioning resistance to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, establishing that these candidate genes are not zym. Cucumber sequences were compared with melon BACs carrying eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E and revealed extensive sequence conservation and synteny between cucumber and melon across these two independent genomic regions. This high degree of microsynteny will aid in the cloning of orthologous genes from both species, as well as allow for genomic resources developed for one Cucumis species to be used for analyses in other species.

AB  - Abstract: Surface segregation in alloys can be influenced by the presence of adsorbed species. In this work, the effect of adsorbed sulfur on surface segregation in a Pd70Cu30 alloy was studied for sulfur coverages from zero through saturation and for temperatures from 400 to 1000K. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) was used to determine the alloy composition in the near-surface region (∼7 atomic layers) and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEISS) was used to probe the composition of the topmost atomic layer of the alloy. Surface segregation was observed to depend on both the presence of adsorbed sulfur and heat-treatment history. The near-surface region of the clean alloy was enriched in Pd relative to the bulk, but the topmost atomic layer was enriched in Cu. Adsorbed sulfur caused a reversal of the Cu enrichment of the topmost surface, resulting in a top layer that contained only Pd and S atoms. Segregation reversal may be driven by the formation of thermodynamically favored Pd–S bonds at the terminating surface of the alloy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Four different low molecular weight (LMW) RNA profiles, designated I–IV, among 179 isolates from Medicago, Melilotus and Trigonella species growing in a field site in Northern Spain were identified. From sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA, atpD and recA genes as well as DNA–DNA hybridization analysis with representatives of each LMW RNA profile it was evident that isolates with LMW RNA profiles I and II belonged to Sinorhizobium meliloti and those displaying profiles III and IV to Sinorhizobium medicae. Therefore, two distinct LMW RNA electrophoretic mobility profiles were found within each of these two species. Collectively, LMW RNA profiles I and II (identified as S. meliloti) were predominant in Melilotus alba, Melilotus officinalis and Medicago sativa. Profiles III and IV (identified as S. medicae) were predominant in Melilotus parviflora, Medicago sphaerocarpa, Medicago lupulina and Trigonella foenum-graecum. All the four LMW RNA profiles were identified among isolates from Trigonella monspelliaca nodules. These results revealed a different specificity by the hosts of the alfalfa cross-inoculation group towards the two bacterial species found in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract  Current interest in biological-based management of weed seed banks in agriculture furthers the need to understand how microorganisms affect seed fate in soil. Many annual weeds produce seeds in high abundance; their dispersal presenting ready opportunity for interactions with soil-borne microorganisms. In this study, we investigated seeds of four common broadleaf weeds, velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), woolly cupgrass (Eriochloa villosa), Pennsylvania smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum), and giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida), for potential as sources of carbon nutrition for soil fungi. Seeds, as the major source of carbon in an agar matrix, were exposed to microbial populations derived from four different soils for 2 months. Most seeds were heavily colonized, and the predominant 18S rRNA gene sequences cloned from these assemblages were primarily affiliated with Ascomycota. Further, certain fungi corresponded to weed species, regardless of soil population. Relatives of Chaetomium globosum (98–99% sequence identity) and Cordyceps sinensis (99%) were found to be associated with seeds of woolly cupgrass and Pennsylvania smartweed, respectively. More diverse fungi were associated with velvetleaf seeds, which were highly susceptible to decay. The velvetleaf seed associations were dominated by relatives of Cephaliophora tropica (98–99%). In contrast to the other species, only few giant ragweed seeds were heavily colonized, but those that were colonized resulted in seed decay. The results showed that seeds could provide significant nutritional resources for saprophytic microbes, given the extant populations can overcome intrinsic seed defenses against microbial antagonism. Further, weed species-specific associations may occur with certain fungi, with nutritional benefits conferred to microorganisms that may not always result in seed biodeterioration.

AB  - Abstract: Experimental data are often in need of smoothing without a pre-determined trend line equation. This manuscript demonstrates how spreadsheet software can be programmed to smooth experimental data via cubic splines. Once the trend lines (splines) have been constructed, it is also simple to interpolate values and calculate derivatives and integrals. The formulas to carry out the calculation are listed and explained in the manuscript. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In the dry-grind corn-to-ethanol process, distillers wet grains (DWG) and syrup are blended and dried to produce distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Some dry-grind plants produce distillers dried grains (DDG) as a coproduct instead of DDGS. In these plants, syrup is not mixed with DWG and is sold as a liquid food ingredient or used for energy generation by combustion. We showed recently that, the elusieve process, the combination of sieving and elutriation (upward air flow), was effective in separating fiber from DDGS. The elusieve process could be beneficial in separating fiber from DDG also. In this study, fiber separation from DDG using the elusieve process was evaluated. Elutriation of sieve categories increased neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in the lighter fractions and NDF separation factors were more than 1.0. When DDG is separated via the elusieve process, 11.9% would be obtained as elusieve fiber and 88.1% would be obtained as enhanced DDG. Original DDG had NDF of 36.7% (db), while enhanced DDG would have NDF of 35.3% (db) and elusieve fiber would have NDF of 57.3% (db). Thus, elusieve process produces value-added products from both DDG and DDGS. A detailed economic analysis is needed to ascertain the merits of implementing the elusieve process in a dry-grind plant producing DDG instead of DDGS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious and often fatal neurologic disease of horses, but few studies have investigated risk factors. Objectives: To evaluate operation- and individual-level factors associated with likelihood of the occurrence of EPM. Animals: Data were collected as part of a study of the US equine industry from 1,178 operations representing 83.9% of horses and 51.6% of operations with ≥3 horses in 28 states. Methods: Probability-based sampling was used to enroll representative operations in a cross-sectional study. Interviews were conducted to collect information regarding health and management of horses. A nested case-control study was used to investigate risk factors among individual horses. Interview data were combined with climate data, human population density, and opossum regional ecology categories. Data were analyzed using logistic regression to identify risk factors for the occurrence of EPM. Results: Owners reported that 95% of EPM cases included in this study were diagnosed by veterinarians. Variables associated with EPM occurrence on premises included opossum regional ecology, reported exposure to small wildlife, climate, terrain, housing, choice of bedding material, method of storing feeds, equine stocking density, and primary use of horses. Among individual horses, age was most strongly associated with disease risk. Associations also were identified with sex, breed, primary use, and participation in competitions. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Because the risk of EPM occurrence on operations is closely tied to factors that impact exposure to opossums, their feces, and their environment, controlling these exposures may be important in preventing the occurrence of EPM.

T1  - Can the cold tolerance of C4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus×giganteus relative to Zea mays be explained by differences in activities and thermal properties of Rubisco?

AB  - The previous investigations show that the amount and activity of Rubisco appears the major limitation to effective C4 photosynthesis at low temperatures. The chilling-tolerant and bioenergy feedstock species Miscanthus×giganteus (M.×giganteus) is exceptionally productive among C4 grasses in cold climates. It is able to develop photosynthetically active leaves at temperatures 6 °C below the minimum for maize, and achieves a productivity even at 52° N that exceeds that of the most productive C3 crops at this latitude. This study investigates whether this unusual low temperature tolerance can be attributed to differences in the amount or kinetic properties of Rubisco relative to maize. An efficient protocol was developed to purify large amounts of functional Rubisco from C4 leaves. The maximum carboxylation activities (Vmax), activation states, catalytic rates per active site (Kcat) and activation energies (Ea) of purified Rubisco and Rubisco in crude leaf extracts were determined for M.×giganteus grown at 14 °C and 25 °C, and maize grown at 25 °C. The sequences of M.×giganteus Rubisco small subunit mRNA are highly conserved, and 91% identical to those of maize. Although there were a few differences between the species in the translated protein sequences, there were no significant differences in the catalytic properties (Vmax, Kcat, and Ea) for purified Rubisco, nor was there any effect of growth temperature in M.×giganteus on these kinetic properties. Extracted activities were close to the observed rates of CO2 assimilation by the leaves in vivo. On a leaf area basis the extracted activities and activation state of Rubisco did not differ significantly, either between the two species or between growth temperatures. The activation state of Rubisco in leaf extracts showed no significant difference between warm and cold-grown M.×giganteus. In total, these results suggest that the ability of M.×giganteus to be productive and maintain photosynthetically competent leaves at low temperature does not result from low temperature acclimation or adaptation of the catalytic properties of Rubisco.

AB  - Abstract: The energy-dependent behavior of the absorption term of the spherical neutron optical potential for doubly magic 208Pb and neighboring 209Bi is examined. These considerations suggest a model with an intuitively attractive energy dependence of the imaginary potential that provides a good description of the observed neutron cross-sections and that is qualitatively consistent with theoretical concepts. It is an alternative to arbitrary assumptions involved in many conventional optical-model interpretations reported in the literature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Asthma was associated with atherosclerotic disease in several studies, with evidence that this association may be limited to women. However, most previous studies failed to account for the heterogeneity of asthma subtypes. We previously reported increased carotid intima-medial thickness in women with adult-onset asthma. In this study, the association of adult- and child-onset asthma with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke were examined. Subjects were classified according to self-report of physician-diagnosed asthma and age of asthma onset. Cox proportional hazards models were used to test the association of adult- and child-onset asthma with incident CHD and stroke, testing for gender interaction. Subanalysis was also performed using only never smokers. Women with adult-onset asthma experienced a 2-fold increase in incident CHD and stroke that was independent of other risk factors, including smoking, body mass index, and physical activity, and persisted when analysis was restricted to never smokers. No significant association was found in women with child-onset asthma or in men. In conclusion, adult-onset asthma may be a significant risk factor for CHD and stroke in women, but not men.

AB  - The first Workshop on Agricultural Air Quality: State of the Science was held at the Bolger Center in Potomac, Maryland from 4 to 8 June 2006. This international conference assembled approximately 350 people representing 25 nations from 5 continents, with disciplines ranging from atmospheric chemistry to soil science. The workshop was designed as an open forum in which participants could openly exchange the most current knowledge and learn about numerous international perspectives regarding agricultural air quality. Participants represented many stakeholder groups concerned with the growing need to assess agricultural impacts on the atmosphere and to develop beneficial policies to improve air quality. The workshop focused on identifying methods to improve emissions inventories and best management practices for agriculture. Workshop participants also made recommendations for technological and methodological improvements in current emissions measurement and modeling practices. The workshop commenced with a session on agricultural emissions and was followed by international perspectives from the United States, Europe, Australia, India, and South America. This paper summarizes the findings and issues of the workshop and articulates future research needs. These needs were identified in three general areas: (1) improvement of emissions measurement; (2) development of appropriate emission factors; and (3) implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to minimize negative environmental impacts. Improvements in the appropriate measurements will inform decisions regarding US farming practices. A need was demonstrated for a national/international network to monitor atmospheric emissions from agriculture and their subsequent depositions to surrounding areas. Information collected through such a program may be used to assess model performance and could be critical for evaluating any future regulatory policies or BMPs. The workshop concluded that efforts to maximize benefits and reduce detrimental effects of agricultural production need to transcend disciplinary, geographic, and political boundaries. Also, such efforts should involve natural and social scientists, economists, engineers, business leaders, and decision makers. The workshop came to the conclusion that through these collaborative efforts improvements in air quality from agricultural practices will begin to take effect. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The knowledge of dispersion coefficients is essential for reliable design of gasifiers. However, a literature review had shown that dispersion coefficients in fluidized beds differ by more than five orders of magnitude. This study presents a comparison of the computed axial solids dispersion coefficients for cork particles to the NETL riser cork data. The turbulence properties, the Reynolds stresses, the granular temperature spectra and the radial and axial gas and solids dispersion coefficients are computed. The standard kinetic theory model described in Gidaspow''s 1994 book, Multiphase Flow and Fluidization, Academic Press and the IIT and Fluent codes were used to compute the measured axial solids volume fraction profiles for flow of cork particles in the NETL riser. The Johnson–Jackson boundary conditions were used. Standard drag correlations were used. This study shows that the computed solids volume fractions for the low flux flow are within the experimental error of those measured, using a two-dimensional model. At higher solids fluxes the simulated solids volume fractions are close to the experimental measurements, but deviate significantly at the top of the riser. This disagreement is due to use of simplified geometry in the two-dimensional simulation. There is a good agreement between the experiment and the three-dimensional simulation for a high flux condition. This study concludes that the axial and radial gas and solids dispersion coefficients in risers operating in the turbulent flow regime can be computed using a multiphase computational fluid dynamics model.

AB  - Abstract: Transient expression of engineered reporter RNAs encoding an intron-containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) from a Potato virus X-based expression vector previously demonstrated the nuclear targeting capability of the 359 nucleotide Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) RNA genome. To further delimit the putative nuclear-targeting signal, PSTVd subgenomic fragments were embedded within the intron, and recombinant reporter RNAs were inoculated onto Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Appearance of green fluorescence in leaf tissue inoculated with PSTVd-fragment-containing constructs indicated shuttling of the RNA into the nucleus by fragments as short as 80 nucleotides in length. Plant-to-plant variation in the timing of intron removal and subsequent GFP fluorescence was observed; however, earliest and most abundant GFP expression was obtained with constructs containing the conserved hairpin I palindrome structure and embedded upper central conserved region. Our results suggest that this conserved sequence and/or the stem-loop structure it forms is sufficient for import of PSTVd into the nucleus. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The effects of preharvest methyl jasmonate (MJ) application on fruit quality, antioxidant activity and flavonoid content in blackberries (Rubus sp.) were determined. Anticancer activity against human lung A549 cells and HL-60 leukemia cells was also evaluated. Three blackberry cultivars (Chester Thornless, Hull Thornless and Triple Crown) were used in these experiments. Blackberries treated with MJ (0.01 and 0.1mM) had higher soluble solids content, and lower titratable acids than untreated fruit as well as enhanced content of flavonoids and increased antioxidant capacity. Extracts of treated fruit showed enhanced inhibition of A549 cell and HL-60 cell proliferation and induced the apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Cultivar Hull Thornless had higher soluble solids and lower titratable acids compared to cv. Chester Thornless and Triple Crown. On the basis of fresh weight of fruit, Hull Thornless also had significantly higher anthocyanin, total phenolic content, antioxidant and antiproliferation activity than other two cultivars.

AB  - Abstract: We develop a procedure for characterization and reconstruction of periodic unit cells of highly filled, multimodal, particulate composites. Rocpack, a particle packing software, is used to generate the solid propellant microstructures and one- and two-point probability functions are used to describe its statistical morphology. The reconstruction is carried out using a parallel Augmented Simulated Annealing algorithm with a novel mutation operator based on a mass–spring system to eliminate overlap and improve the code performance. Results from the reconstruction procedure, for four-phase random particulate composites of 40–70% packing fraction, are detailed to demonstrate the capabilities of the reconstruction model. The presented results suggest good convergence and repeatability of the optimization scheme, even for high volume fractions, and good scalability of the algorithm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Evidence from numerous laboratories using a variety of experimental models, including humans, shows that boron is a bioactive beneficial element. Much evidence has come from studies that did not require nutritional or environmental stressors or fastidious methods in diet preparation or environmental control. The evidence includes deprivation studies showing that boron is necessary for some higher animals to complete the life cycle, and that realistic low boron intakes result in impaired bone health, brain function, and immune response. Thus, low boron intake is a relevant nutritional concern, which diets rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pulses can prevent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Relaxed MM3 ϕ, ψ potential energy surfaces (conformational maps) were calculated for analogues of α,α-trehalose, β,β-trehalose, α,β-trehalose, maltose, cellobiose and galabiose based on 2-methyltetrahydropyran. Starting structures included not only 4C1 (sugar nomenclature) geometries, but also combinations with 1C4 conformers, and some flexible (boat or skew) forms. These forms were included as part of continuing efforts to eliminate unwarranted assumptions in modelling studies, as well as to account for new experimental findings. Four to nine maps were obtained for each analogue, and from them adiabatic maps were produced. Although the minimum energy regions always resulted from 4C1-4C1 geometries, moderate to large parts of most maps had lower energies when one or both rings were in the 1C4 conformation. Only the adiabatic surface for the (diequatorial) analogue of β,β-trehalose was covered entirely by 4C1-4C1 conformers. For the cellobiose and α,β-trehalose analogues, these conformers covered 74 and 67% of the surfaces, respectively. The remainder of the cellobiose analogue surface was covered by conformers having a 1C4 conformation at the “reducing” end, and for the α,β-trehalose analogue, by conformers having 1C4 shapes for the α-linked unit. Adiabatic surfaces of the other three analogues were based on all combinations of 4C1 and 1C4 conformers. The “normal” 4C1-4C1 combination only covered 37-41% of those surfaces, whereas each of the other three conformations accounted for 10-31%. Although the “normal” conformation accounted for 97.0-99.8% of the total population, adiabaticity in disaccharide maps is not guaranteed unless variable ring shapes (another manifestation of the “multiple minima problem”) are considered.

AB  - American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) are colonial-nesting birds and their breeding sites are concentrated in a few small areas, making this species especially vulnerable to factors that can influence productivity, such as disease, disturbance, predation, weather events and loss of nesting habitat. Nearly half of the American white pelican population breeds at four colonies in the northern plains: Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in North Dakota, Bitter Lake (Waubay NWR) in South Dakota, Medicine Lake NWR in Montana, and Marsh Lake in Minnesota. Thus, sustained productivity at these colonies is crucial to the health of the entire species. During the latter half of the 2002 and 2003 breeding seasons, unusually high mortality of pelican chicks was observed at these colonies. West Nile virus (WNv) was identified as one source of these losses. In 2004–2007 we monitored three major colonies in the northern plains to assess mortality of chicks during the late breeding season. We documented severe weather events, disturbance, and WNv as factors contributing to chick mortality. Before WNv arrived in the region in 2002, chick mortality after mid-July was ⩽4%, and then jumped to as high as 44% in the years since WNv arrived. WNv kills older chicks that are no longer vulnerable to other common mortality factors (e.g., severe weather, gull predation) and typically would have survived to fledge; thus WNv appears to be an additive mortality factor. Persistence of lower productivity at American white pelican colonies in the northern plains might reduce the adult breeding population of this species in the region. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - ‘Express’, a hard red spring wheat cultivar that has been widely grown in the western United States, is used to differentiate races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the causal fungal pathogen of wheat stripe rust. To identify genes conferring race-specific, overall resistance to stripe rust, Express was crossed with ‘Avocet S’. The parents and F1, F2, F3 and F5 populations were tested with races PST-1, PST-21, PST-43, and PST-45 of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici in the seedling stage under controlled greenhouse conditions. Two dominant genes for resistance to stripe rust were identified, one conferring resistance to PST-1 and PST-21, and the other conferring resistance to all four races. Linkage groups were constructed for the resistance genes using 146 F5 lines to establish resistance gene analog and chromosome-specific simple sequence repeat marker polymorphisms. The gene for resistance to races PST-1 and PST-21 was mapped on the long arm of chromosome 1B, and that conferring resistance to all four races was mapped on the long arm of chromosome 5B. We temporarily designate the gene on 1BL as YrExp1 and the gene on 5BL as YrExp2. Polymorphism of at least one of the two markers flanking YrExp2 was detected in 91% of the 44 tested wheat genotypes, suggesting that they would be useful in marker-assisted selection for combining the gene with other resistance genes into many other wheat cultivars. Knowledge of these genes will be useful to understand recent virulence changes in the pathogen populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Homologous chromosome pairing and recombination are essential components of meiosis and sexual reproduction. The reshuffling of genetic material through breakage and reunion of chromatids ensure proper segregation of homologous chromosomes in reduction division and genetic diversity in the progeny. The advent of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) as a reproductive biotechnology for use in livestock industry has made it easy to bypass these vital steps. However, few studies have been carried out on the impact of SCNT on the reproductive characteristics of cloned animals and, none to date, on the meiotic processes in animals, which were created by circumventing meiosis. In an attempt to assess the impact of cloning by SCNT on the meiotic processes, we undertook an immunocytological comparison of recombination in normal and clone bulls using antibodies raised against the synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3) to label the lateral elements and the mismatch repair protein 1 (MLH1) foci on bivalents as indicators of recombination events. Our studies involving five normal bulls of proven fertility, two SCNT-derived bulls, and four mature offspring of SCNT bulls showed that the mean number of crossing over per spermatocyte for normal bulls (42 ± 4 SD; ranging from 33 to 56), was not significantly different from that of SCNT-derived bulls (43 ± 5 SD; ranging from 35 to 56), and the offspring of SCNT-derived bulls (43 ± 5 SD; ranging from 37 to 58). It would appear that circumventing meiosis to produce these animals does not influence the meiotic processes revealed by MLH1 foci detected in spermatocytes. Copyright © 2008 S.

AB  - The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 changed the regulations for air pollution by replacing a set of mandated actions with a market mechanism for pollution rights, where electric utilities can buy or sell rights to emit sulphur dioxide (SO[sub 2]) in the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) to assess their impacts on energy markets. Because of the decentralized design of NEMS, the implementation was quite complex. We had to use Lagrangian relaxation, which turned out to be more difficult that first envisioned, and other techniques to arrive at a consistent equilibrium among the relevant energy sectors. As a result of these difficulties, we revised the NEMS model. This exercise illustrates that often an organization should be ready to take a step back from what exists to take a step forward.

AB  - Nuclear weapons require the periodic replacement of tritium, a radioactive gas that decays at approximately 5.5 percent per year. Currently no tritium-supply facility exists in the US, and due to the decay, the tritium inventory will fall below the required reserve level in 2011. To decide how to fill this projected gap, the US Department of Energy assessed 10 tritium-supply alternatives, including several types of new reactors, an accelerator, and the use of commercial reactors. The DOE compared the alternatives with respect to three objectives: production assurance, cost, and environmental impacts. We combined a dynamic production-simulation model and probabilistic assessments of schedule, production capacity, and availability risks to predict the production behavior of each alternative over 40 years. We also assessed the cost and environmental risks. The secretary of energy decided to pursue both the commercial-reactor and accelerator alternatives, based, in part, on the results of this analysis.

AB  - 1. Pensicinon palmeri is a short-lived perennial herb that occupies early-successional habitats at mid altitude in the semi-arid south-western United States. Laboratory germination experiments with seeds from nine populations showed that most seeds were non-dormant at autumn temperatures (15 °C). but a majority required light for germination. Moist chilling at winter temperatures (1°C) for 4 weeks induced secondary dormancy in about half the seeds, whilst moist incubation at superoptimal summer temperatures (30 °C) for 2 weeks removed most primary and chilling-induced secondary dormancy, prevented the induction of dormancy by chilling, and reduced the proportion of light-requiring seeds. The effect of 1 °C and 30°C treatments persisted or were increased through drying. 2. A 2-year field retrieval experiment with seeds from three populations showed that dormancy induction during winter arid release from dormancy during summer functioned as predicted from laboratory experiments to confine germination to periods during autumn or early spring and to permit year-to-year persistence of the seed bank. 3. Cyclic dormancy patterns demonstrated for Penstemon palmeri are similar to those described for facultative winter annual weeds. However, because chilling causes the seed population to diverge into spring-germinable and spring-dormant fractions, its seed bank can persist from year to year without burial. 4. There were no clear habitat-correlated differences in germination patterns among populations, and populations from contrasting habitats showed similar and appropriate field responses. This suggests that Penstemon palmeri is a generalist in terms of germination pattern [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Century) seedlings were germinated in vermiculite, sub-irrigated with a complete nutrient solution, without nitrogen or supplemented with 10 mM KNO3, 5 mM (NH4)2SO4, or 5 mM NH4NO3. After 14 days in the light, or 5 days in the dark, tissues from different organs were harvested separately. Similarly, tissues from different organs from 14- or 21-day-old nodulated or non-nodulated soybean seedlings, maintained in the absence of nitrogen, were harvested. Proteins and total RNA were isolated from the different plant organs and used for immunoblot and RNA blot analyses, respectively. Protein or RNA blots were separately incubated with antisera or hybridized with probes specific for either ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) or NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT). The specific activity and the abundance of the Fd-GOGAT peptide and transcript increased, approximately 3–10 times, in cotyledons and hypocotyls/stems in plants germinated in the light compared with those germinated in the dark. Fd-GOGAT activity, peptide, and transcript were highest in leaves. Except for increases in the specific activity of samples from roots treated with (NH4)2SO4 or NH4NO3, there were minor or no changes in Fd-GOGAT activity, peptide and transcript among organs of seedlings treated with different nitrogen sources or by nodulation. Low levels of NADH-GOGAT transcript were detected in all organs. NADH-GOGAT activity, peptide, and transcript increased in roots of seedlings treated with different nitrogen sources, but these changes were more apparent on RNA blots versus immunoblots. The highest NADH-GOGAT activity and most abundant amounts of the peptide and transcript were observed in nodules. Despite being induced by different environmental factors, both GOGAT activities are controlled, at least in part,... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Photosystem II (PSII) reaction center is an intrinsic membrane-protein complex in the chloroplast that catalyzes primary charge separation between P680, a chlorophyll a dimer, and the primary quinone acceptor QA. This supramolecular protein complex consists of D1, D2, α and β subunits of cytochrome b559, the psbI gene product, and a few low molecular mass proteins. Ligated to this complex are pigments: chlorophyll a, pheophytin a, β-carotenes, and non-heme iron. One of the major outcomes of light-mediated photochemistry is the fact that in the light, D1 protein is rapidly turned over compared to the other proteins of the reaction center; the relative lability of proteins being: D1>D2>Cyt b559. D1 degradation in visible light exhibits complex, multiphasic kinetics. D1 degradation can be uncoupled from photosynthetic electron transport, which suggests that degradation may perform some separate function(s) beyond maintaining photosynthetic activity. The presence of a physiologically relevant level of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation in a background of photosynthetically active radiation stimulates D1/D2 heterodimer degradation in a synergistic manner. D1 undergoes several post-translational modifications including N-acetylation, phosphorylation, and palmitoylation. Light-dependent phosphorylation of D1 occurs in all flowering plants but not in the green alga Chlamydomonas or in cyanobacteria, and the same may be true for D2. The roles of these modifications in D1/D2 assembly, turnover, or function are still a matter of conjecture. Nor do we yet know about the fate of the liganded pigments, such as the chlorophyll and carotenoids bound to the reaction center proteins. Environmental extremes that negatively impact photosynthesis seem to involve D1 metabolism. Thus, D1 protein is a major factor of PSII instability, and its replacement after its degradation is a primary component of the PSII repair cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Multi-proton spin-echo images were collected from cold-acclimated winter wheat crowns (<em>Triticum aestivum</em>L.) cv. Cappelle Desprez at 400 MHz between 4 and -4°C. Water proton relaxation by the spin-spin (<em>T</em>2) mechanism from individual voxels in image slices was found to be mono-exponential. The temperature dependence of these relaxation rates was found to obey Arrhenius or absolute rate theory expressions relating temperature, activation energies and relaxation rates. Images whose contrast is proportional to the Arrhenius activation energy (<em>E</em>a), Gibb's free energy of activation (Δ<em>G</em>‡), enthalpy of activation (Δ<em>H</em>&Dagger;), and the entropy of activation of (Δ<em>S</em>&Dagger;) for water relaxation on a voxel basis were constructed by post-image processing. These new images exhibit contrast based on activation energies rather than rates of proton relaxation. The temperature dependence of water proton <em>T</em>2 relaxation rates permits prediction of changes in the physical state of water in this tissue over modest temperature ranges. A simple model is proposed to predict the freezing temperature of various tissues in wheat crowns. The average <em>E</em>a and Δ<em>H</em>Dagger; for water proton <em>T</em>2 relaxation over the above temperature range in winter wheat tissue were -6.4±14.8 and -8.6±14.8kJ mol-1, respectively. This barrier is considerably lower than <em>E</em>a for proton translation in ice at 0°C, which is reported to be between 46.0 and 56.5kJ mol-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The potential for using cell-free culture filtrate (CFCF) and toxin (phaseolinone) from <em>Macrophomina phaseolina</em> for rapid and effective screening procedures for charcoal rot resistance in guayule (Parthenium argentatum) germ-plasm was assessed. The CFCF and partially purified phaseolinone were incorporated into modified Murashige and Skoog solid medium at the rates of 0-100% (v/v) and 0-1000 μg ml-1 respectively. The medium pH was adjusted to 5.8 before solidifying with 0.8% agar. Four- week-old seedlings of 10 guayule genotypes were planted in the medium, incubated and rated for phytotoxic symptoms and tissue damage over a 15-day period. ln a green- house study, seedling growth, phytotoxicity and damage severity were compared in 12-week-old guayule seedlings root-inoculated with <em>M. phaseolina</em> microsclerotia. There were significant differences (P = 0.05) in genotypic responses to the fungus, the filtrate and the toxin inoculations. Time until phytotoxic symptoms developed was inversely related to the concentrations of CFCF and the toxin. Phytotoxic symptoms were produced 6 days after exposure to 50% CFCF and 48h after exposure to 1000 μg ml-1 of partially purified phaseolinone. A comparison of photomicrographs of the control and toxin- treated root tissues revealed no damage to the control roots and extensive damage to epidermal layers of the treated roots, which was evident 48 h after exposure to 100 μg ml-1 level of phaseolinone. Significant correlations were found between tolerance to the fungus and insensitivity to the culture filtrate (r 0.89, P = 0.05) and the toxin (r = 0.95.

The genotypic reactions to the CFCF were also correlated with reactions to the toxin (r = 0.90, P = 0.05). Guayule breeding lines 'UC101' and 'P3-1' exhibited the greatest tolerance to the pathogen and insensitivity to the CFCF or the toxin whereas 'Ca16', 'Ca17', 'N576', 'N9-5', '11605' and 'N6-5' were very susceptible to the pathogen and sensitive to the CFCF or the toxin.

AB  - Untersucht wurde die mögliche Anwendung von zellfreiem Kulturfiltrat (CFCF) und dem Toxin (Phaseolinon) von <em>Macrophomina phaseolina</em> in einem schnellen and zuverlässigen Verfahren bei der Resistenzprüfung in Guayule (<em>Parthenium argentatum</em>). Das CFCF und das teilgereinigte Phaseolinon wurden dem modifizierten Murashige und Skoog-Agarmedium in den Konzentrationen 0 bis 100% (v/v) bzw. 0 bis 1000 μg/ml beigemischt. Der pH-Wert des Mediums wurde bei 5,8 eingestellt und anschlie&szling;end mit 0,8% Agar versehen. Vier Wochen alte Sämlinge von 10 Guayule-Genotypen wurden in diesen Medien gepflanzt, inkubiert und bonitiert auf phytotoxische Symptome and Gewebezerstörung über einem Zeitraum von 15 Tagen. Das Sämlingswachstum, die Phytotoxizitãt sowie die Befallsintensität warden in Gewächshausversachen mit 12 Wochen alten Guayule-Sämlingen verglichen, die über die Wurzeln mit <em>M. phaseolina</em>-Mikrosklerotien inokuliert worden waren. Signifikante Unterschiede (P = 0,05) wurden in der genotypische Reaktion gegenüber dem Pilz, dem Filtrat sowie dem Toxin ermittelt. Die Zeit nach der Applikation bis zur phytotoxischen Symptomausprägung war mit den CFCF- and Toxinkonzentrationen korreliert. Die phytotosischen Symptome erschienen 6 Tage nach einer Applikation von 50% igem CFCF bzw. 48 h nach der Applikation von 1000 μg/mI des teilgereinigten Phaseolinon. Ein Vergleich der Photomikrographen von Kontroll- und mit Toxin behandeltem Wurzelgewebe zeigte, da&szling; keine Zerstörung des Gewebes bei den Kontrollwurzeln zu erkennen war, jedoch bei den behandelten Wurzeln ausgedehnte Schäden der epidermalen Schichten zu erkennen waren. Diese Schaäden traten 48 h nach einer Behandlung mit 100 μg/ml Phaseolinon auf. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden zwischen einer Pilztoleranz und elner Insensitivität zum Kultratfiltrat (r = 0,89. P = 0,05) sowie dem Toxin (r = 0,96, P = 0,00 1) festgestellt. Dies deutet auf eine mögliche Anwendung von CFCF bzw. Phaseolinon beim Screening fur eine <em>M. phaseolina</em>-Resistenz. Die genotypischen Reaktionen gegenüber dem CFCF waren auch mit den Reaktionen zum Toxin (r = 0,90, P = 0,05) korreliert. Die Guayula-Zuchthrnen "UC101" and "P3-1" zeigten die höchste Pathogentoleranz und die höchste CFCF- bzw. Toxinsensitivitãt, die Linien "Ca16", "Ca17", "N576" "N9-5", "11605" und "N6-5" dagegen waren dem Pathogen gegenüber sehr anfällig und zeigten eine CFCF- und Toxinsensitivität.

AB  - Hypovirulent <em>Gaeumannomyces graminis</em> var. <em>tritici</em> strain L108hv, five strains of <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp., and a mixture of four of these bacterial strains were used individually and in combination for the suppression of take-all of wheat. In the growth chamber, L108hv and all five individual bacterial strains provided a significant reduction in take-all severity compared with an untreated control. Combination of L108hv and the bacteria did not significantly enhance the suppressiveness of either agent. In the field at Pullman, WA. 108hv significantly reduced crown root infection of winter wheat but not seminal root infection, while the reverse was true for a mixture of bacterial strains suggesting these agents may be more effective at different stages in disease development. In a second field trial at Pullman, yield of spring wheat was increased by 20.8%. In contrast, in two field trials at Mt. Vernon, WA, L108hv had no effect on take-all of spring wheat. We conclude that specific biocontrol agents may be better suited for certain environments and that biocontrol treatments should be customized for the target site. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Der hypovirulente Stamm L108hv von <em>Gaeumannomyces graminis</em> var. <em>triciti</em>, fünf Stämme von <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp. sowie eine Misehung aus vier der Bakterienstämme wurden einzeln und in Kombination zur Bekämpfung der Schwarzbeinigkeit des Weizens verwendet. In der Klimakammer reduzierten L108hv und alle fünf einzeln eingesetz ten Bakterienstämme die Befallsstärke im Vergleich zu einer unbehandelten Kontrolle signifIkant. Die Kombination von L108hv und den Bakterien steigerte die Suppressivität der einzelnen Komponenten der Mischung in keinem Fall signifikant. In Pullman (US-Bundesstaat Washigton) führte L108hv bei Winterweizen in einem Feldversuch bei den Hauptwurzeln, nicht aber bei den Nebenwurzeln zu einer signifikant schwächeren Infektion. Eine Mischung von Bakterienstämmen wirkte dagegem umgekehrt. Dies deutet darauf hin, daß die Organismen möglicherweise in verschiedenen Stadien der Krankheit unterschiedlich wirksam sind. In einem zweiten, ebenfalls in Pullman durchgeführten Feldversuch wurde cler Ertrag von Sommerweizen urn 20,8% erhöht. En zwei Feldversuchen in Mt. Vernon (US-Bundesstaat Washington) beeinfiußte L108hv die Schwarzbeinigkeit bei Sommerweizen jedoch nicht. Wir folgern. daß spezifisch wirkende, zur biologischen Bekämpfung eingesetzte Organismen möglicherweise besonders gut an bestimmte Umweltverhältnisse angepat sind, und daß eine biologische Bekämpfung an den jeweiligen Zielort individuell angepaßt sein sollte.

AB  - The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the ITS2 region of nuclear ribosomal DNA from six <em>Phytophthora</em> species which comprise taxonomic Group IV. Digestion of the ca. 600bp PCR product with restriction enzymes <em>Alul, Dral1. Hhal, Hinf I. MspI</em>, and <em>TaqI</em> revealed variation which allowed relationships among the species to be assessed. <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em> and <em>P. phaseoli</em> were indistinguishable from one another with all enzymes tested With <em>Alul</em> and <em>Taql. P. ilicis, P. colocasiae</em>', and <em>P. hibernalis</em> each showed unique banding patterns different from the common banding pattern shared by <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em>, and <em>P. hibernalis. Dral </em>. allowed differentiation of <em>P. ilicis</em> and <em>P. colocasiae</em> from <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em>, and <em>P. hibernalis</em>. all of which shared a common banding pattern. <em>HhaI</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. colocasiae</em> and <em>P. hibernalis</em> from <em>p. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em>, and <em>P. ilicis</em> <em>Hinf1</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. ilicis</em> and <em>P. hibernalis</em> (each of which showed a unique banding pattern) from <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli, and P. colocasiae. Mspl</em> allowed differentiation of <em>P. hibernalis</em> from the other five species. Species groupings determined by restriction analysis of ITS2 were consistent with those based on morphological criteria. These results show that restriction analysis of PCR-amplified TS2 regions can be useful as an adjunct to morphological criteria in <em>Phytophthora</em> species identification.

AB  - Mit Hilfe der Polymerase-Keuenreaktion (PCR) wurde die Region ITS2 der für Ribosomen kodierenden Kern- DNA von sechs <em>Phytophthora-Arten amplifiziert</em>, die taxonomischen Gruppe IV gehören. Der Verdau 600 bp großen PCR-Produkts mit den Restriktionsenszymen <em>AluI, DraI, HhaI, Hinf I, MspI</em> und <em>TaqI</em> zeigte Variationen. die eine Erfassung der Beziehungen zwischen den Arten ermöglichten. <em>P. injestans, P. mirabilis </em>und <em>P. phaseoli</em> ließen sich mit keinem der geprüften Enzyme voneinander unterscheiden. Bei<em> Alul</em> und <em>Taql</em> zeigten <em>P. ilicis, P. colocasiae</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> jeweils spezifisehe Bandenmuster, Diese unterschieden sich von den gemeinsamen Bandenmustem der Arten <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em>. DraI erlaubte es. <em>P. ilicis</em> und <em>P. colocasiae</em> von <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. hibernalis abzugrenzen</em>, weiche em gemeinsames Bandenmuster aufwiesen. <em>Hhal</em> ermöglichte es, <em>P. colocasiae</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> von <em>P. infestans</em>, <em>P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. ilicis</em> zu unter- scheiden. <em>Hinf1</em> erlaubte die Abgrenzung von <em>P. ilicis</em> und <em>P. hibernalis</em> (die jeweils spezifische Bandenmuster aufwiesen) von <em>P. infestans, P. mirabilis, P. phaseoli</em> und <em>P. colocasiae</em>. MspI ermöglichte es. <em>P. hibernalis</em> von der Übrigen fünf Arten zu unterscheiden. Die aufgrund der Restriktionanalyse von ITS2 vorgenommene Einteilung der Arten in Gruppen entsprach der Einteilung nach morphologischen Kriterien. Die Ergebnisse zeigen. daß die Restriktionsanalyse von PCR-amplifizierten ITS2-Regionen neben den morphologischen Kriterien bei der Bestimmung von <em>Physophthora</em>-Arten von Nutzen sein kann.

AB  - Serological and biological comparisons were made among 45 seed-borne isolates of blackeye cowpea mosaic (BICMV) and 54 seed-borne isolates of cowpea aphid- borne mosaic (CAbMV) potyviruses derived from cowpea seedlots or young nursery-grown seedlings comprising 2112 germplasm accessions or pre-introduction seedlots of <em>Vigna unguiculata</em>. Isolates were identified by DAS-ELISA using polyclonal immunoglobulin G specific for these viruses. Twenty isolates of BICMV and 32 isolates of CAbMV were also compared by ACP-ELISA with selected monoclonal antibodies and by SDS-immu- nodiffusion. By all approaches, isolates of BICMV were clearly distinguished from CAbMV isolates. Isolate comparisons on selected cowpea genotypes (TVu-401, TVu- 1582, TVu-2657, and TVu-3433) partitioned most isolates into two distinct groups. A few isolates seed-borne in Indian cv. Pusa Phalguni, however, were clearly B1CMV by all serological tests, but behaved as CAbMV in definitive cowpea genotypes. Although BICMV is generally considered to be a `new world virus', both BICMV and CAbMV occurred in <em>V. unguiculata</em> seedlots originating in `old-world regions', including Afghanistan, Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa. Seed- borne CAbMV was isolated from 6 of 155 tested US <em>V. unguiculata</em> Germplasm accessions originating respectively, in Afghanistan (2), Botswana (2), India (I), and Pakistan (I).

AB  - Serologische und biologische Vergleiche wurden unter 45 samenbürtigen Isolaten der blackeye cowpea mosaic (B1CMV) and 54 samenburtigen der cowpea aphid-borne mosaic (CAbMV) Potyviren durchgefflhrt. Die Virus- isolate wurden eatweder aus Kuherbsen samenpartien, aus jungen, in Pflanzschulen herangezogenen Sãmlingen, die aus 2112 Germplasma-Accessionen zusammengesetzt waren, oder aus Samenpartien von <em>Vigna unguiculata</em>, die noch vor der Markteinfflhrung stehen, gewonnen. Die Isolate warden mit Hilfe des DASELISA mit für diese Vi ren spezifischen, polyki onalen Immunoglubulin G indentifiziert. Zwanzig BICMV-Isolate und 32 CAbMV- isolate wurden zusatzlich mit Hilfe des ACP-ELISA, mit selektierten monoklonalen Antikörpern, and der SDS- Immunodiffusion miteinander verglichen. Unabhangig von der Untersuchungsmethode konnten alle BICMV- Isolate deutlich von den CAbMV isolaten unterschieden werden. Isolatvergleiche an ausgewahlten K uherbsen- genotypen (TVu-401, TVu-1582, TVu-2657 und TVu- 3433) teilten fast alle loslate in zwei unterschiedliche Gruppen. Einige samenbürtige Isolate in Indian cv. Pusa Phalguni verhielten sich nach a lien serologischen Unter- suchungen deutlich wie BICMV, bei den definitiven Kuherbsengenotypen jedoch wie CAbMV. Obwohl BICMV in der Regel als "new world virus" angesehen wird, wurde sowohi BICMV als auch CAbMV in <em>V. unguiculata</em>-Samenpartien, die aus "old-world" Regionen stammten-u. a. Afghanistan, Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal und Sudafrika-nachgewiesen. Samen- burtiges CAbmY konnte aus 6 von 155 untersuchten nordamerikanischen <em>V. unguiculata</em>-Germplasma - Accessionen, die aus Afaghanistan (∼2), Botswana (2), Indien (1) bzw. Pakistan (1) srammten, nachgewiesen werden. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Metabolities produced by the soilborne plant pathogen <em>Rhizoctonia solani</em> (R-23) and <em>Pythium ultimum</em> (PuZ3) grown on cellophane disks placed on photo-dextrose agar (PDA), molasses brewer's yeast agar (MYA) and wheat bran extract agar (BEA)did not significantly affect the rate of growth of isolates of the antagonists <em>Trichoderma viride</em> (TSI-R3, Tv-101), <em>T. harzianum</em> (Th-57, Th-87), <em>T. hamatum</em> (Tm-23, TRI-4), or <em>Glioctadium virens</em> (GI-3, GI-21) when these antagonists were grown on the three agars containing pathogen metabolities. However, in some instances, density of antagonist mycelium growing on the agar media as well as the observable production of antagonist conidia on the agar media were reduced. Using four antagonists in liquid cultures of potato-dextrose broth (PDB) containing metabolites of the pathogens grown on bran extract broth, metabolites from R-23 significantly reduced mycelial dry weight of Th-87 and Gl-21 but not that of TRl-4 and Gl-3. On the contrary, metabolites of PuZ3 increased the mycelial dry weight of all four antagonists. Metabolites of R-23 reduced production of conidia of only TRI-4, metabolites of PuZ3 significantly reduced production of conidia of all four antagonists. Pathogen metabolites did not affect germination of conidia in the system used. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Die bodenbürtigen Pflanzenpathogene <em>Rhizoctonia solani</em> (R-23) und <em>Pythium ultimum</em> (PuZ3) wurden auf Cellophansuheiben auf Kartoffel-Dextrose-Agar (PDA). Melasse-Hefe-Agar (MYA) bzw. Weizenkleieextrakt-Agar (BEA) inkubiert. Deren im Agar abgegebenen Metabolite beeinflußten kaum die Wachstumsrate von Isolaten der antagonistischen Pilzarten <em>Trichoderma viride</em> (TS-l-R3, Tv-101). <em>T. harzianum</em> (Th-57, Th-87). <em>T. hamatum</em> (Tm-23, TRI-4) oder <em>Gliocladium virens</em> (GI-3, GI-21), wenn diese Pilzarten auf den metabolithaltigen Nährmedien inokuliert worden waren. In einigen Fällen jedoch wurde beobachtet, daβ die Myzeldichte der Antagonisten sowie die Sporulation dieser Pilze deutlich reduziert wurde. Den Metaboliten der Pathogene, die in Weizenkleieextrakt-Bouillon produziert worden waren, wurde Kartofel-Dextrose-Bouillon (PDB) beigemischt. Anschließend wurde die PDB mit den vier Antagonisten angeimpft. Die durch R-23 produzierten Metabolite reduzierten das Myzeltrocken-gewicht von Th-87 und GI-21 signifikant aber nicht das von TRI-4 und GI-3. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde das Myzeltyrockengewicht von allen vier Antagonisten durch die PuZ3-Metabolite erhöht. Die R-23-Metabolite reduzierten die Konidienproduktion nur bei TRI-4; die PuZ3-Metabolite dagegen reduzierten die Konidienproduktion bei allen vier Antagonisten signifikant. Unter den Testbedingungen wurde die Konidien-keimung durch die Pathogenmetabolite nicht beeinflußt. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Teliospores from 12 races of <em>Tilletia tritici</em> (Bjerk.) Wint. and twelve isolates of <em>Tilletia controversa</em> (Kuhn) were sampled from field-inoculated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) differential cultivars. Proteins were extracted from the teliospores and analysed by one dimensional electrophoresis. An abundant 116 kD polypeptide detected m extracts from teliospores of all isolates of <em>T. controversa</em> was not detected in <em>T. tritici</em> teliospore extracts. Spores which were mechanically disrupted yielded greater quantities of the protein compared to intact teliospores, and this suggested the polypeptide was derived from within the teliospore. The presence of the polypeptide was correlated with dwarf bunt-causing <em>Tilletia</em>. Isolates of dwarf bunt-causing <em>Tilletia</em> that were intermediate between <em>T. tritici</em> and <em>T. controversa</em> in either morphology or germination characteristics contained the polypeptide while a common bunt-causing race of <em>T. tritici</em> (T18) with intermediate characteristics lacked the protein. The 116 kD polypeptide present in all T. controversa isolates may provide a stable biochemical marker for identification of these tesliospores in wheat shipments. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Brandsporen von zwölf Rassen von <em>Tilletia tritici</em> (Bjerk.) Wint. und zwölf Isolaten von <em>Tilletia controversa</em> (Kuhn) wurden von feldinfizierten Weizenpflanzen (<em>Trisicum aestivum</em> L.) verschiedener Sorten gesammelt. Proteine der Brandsporen wurden extrahiert und mittels eindimensionaler Elektrophorese analysiert. Ein in allen Isolaten von <em>T. controversa</em> häufig vorkommendes Polypeptid mit 116 Kilodalton konnte in Extrakten von <em>T. tritici</em> nicht beobachtet werden. Mechanisch beschädigte Sporen gaben grö&szling;ere Mengen dieses Proteins im Vergleich zu unbeschädigten Sporen, was darauf schlie&szling;en lä&szling;t, da&szling; diese Polypeptide in den Brandsporen enthalten sind. Das Vorkommen der Polypeptide ist mit dem Auftreten von <em>Tilletia controversa</em>, dem Erreger des Zwergbrandes, korreliert. Isolate von Zwergbrand verursachenden <em>Tilletien</em>, die sowohl morphologisch als auch nach ihrer Keimfähigkeit intermediär zwischen <em>T. tritici</em> und <em>T. controversa</em> lagen, enthielten das Polypeptid, während Stämme von <em>T. tritici</em> (T18) mit intermediären Eigenschaften dieses Protem nicht besa&szling;en. Das in alien <em>T. controversa</em> Isolaten gefundene 116 kD Polypeptid ist möglicherweise ein stabiler biochemischer Marker zur Identiftzierung dieser Brandsporen in Weizenlieferungen.

AB  - Isolates of <em>Phytophthora infestans</em> were collected from all potato growing regions of Poland during the blight seasons of 1987-1989. All 1987 isolates were of Al mating type and were sensitive to metalaxyl. In 1988 and 1989, 46.5% and 55.3% of the isolates were sensitive to metalaxyl, respectively. The percentage of highly resistant (R) isolates increased from 25.6% in 1988 to 39.5 % in 1989; however the percentage of intermediately resistant (J) isolates decreased during that period from 27.9% to 5.3 %. A significant association was observed between the Al compatibility type and metalaxyl resistance. The A2 mating type first appeared in 1988, and its frequency increased from 4.7 % of the population in 1988 to 47.6% in 1989. Coincident with this change in mating type frequency, changes in ploidy levels of isolates were observed. Whereas 3% of the 1988 isolates were diploid, 90% of the 1989 A2 isolates and 28.6% of the 1989 A1 isolates were diploid. The approximate 1:1 ratio of the two mating types encountered in 1989, and the predominance of diploidy, indicates that the Polish population of <em>P. infestans</em> has the potential to become sexual.

AB  - Objectives. Understanding the nutritional consequences of food insufficiency is important for informed policy-making that addresses the problem of domestic hunger. This study estimated the extent to which individuals from food-insufficient households were likely to have low intakes of energy and 14 other nutrients. Methods. The diets of preschoolers, adult women, and the elderly were analyzed with 24-hour recall data from the 1989 through 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the association of self-reported household food insufficiency with nutrient intakes below 50% of the recommended daily allowance. Results. For adult women, food insufficiency was significantly associated with low intakes of eight nutrients, including energy, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, C, and B6. Elderly individuals in the food-insufficient group were also more likely to have low intakes of eight nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamins A and B6. Household food insufficiency was not significantly associated with low intakes among preschoolers. Conclusions. The results validate the use of self-reported hunger measures in nutritional surveillance and highlight nutrients of concern for food assistance and nutrition education efforts targeted at individuals from food-insufficient households.

AB  - The article presents a study which aims to determine whether a multistate fast food hamburger-associated outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection involved Las Vegas residents. E. coli 0157:H7 is an important cause of nonbloody diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and hemolytic uremic syndrome.' This serotype of E. coli differs from most in that it ferments sorbitol slowly or not at all. Confirmation of E. coil 0157:H7 infections by local laboratories in Washington State enabled public health officials there to identify an outbreak in January 1993 and to implicate hamburgers from a particular fast food chain (chain A). Although E. coli 0157:117 infection was also reportable in Nevada, no cases were reported there during this period. On January 22, the health district issued a press release, naming chain A hut requesting notification of all cases of bloody diarrhea. The health district was flooded with calls and began an investigation into the magnitude and cause of the outbreak.

AB  - Objectives. This study evaluated the production of dry fermented salami associated with an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in Washington State and California. Methods. Facility inspections, review of plant monitoring data, food handler interviews, and microbiological testing of salami products were conducted. Results. Production methods complied with federal requirements and industry-developed good manufacturing practices. No evidence suggested that postprocessing contamination occurred. Calculations suggested that the infectious dose was smaller than 50 E. coli O157:H7 bacteria. Conclusions. Dry fermented salami can serve as a vehicle of transmission for O157:H7 strains. Our investigation and prior laboratory studies suggest that E. coli O157:H7 can survive currently accepted processing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. Hyperinflation began in early 1992 in the former Soviet Union. This paper describes factors associated with nutritional status that year among elderly pensioners. Methods. Approximately 300 pensioners were selected randomly in each of eight cities. Surveys of diet, weight, health status, and social and economic conditions were done between June and December 1992. This paper reports on 2281 completed questionnaires. Results. Half the pensioners reported that they had lost 5 or more kilograms in the prior 6 months; 57% did not have enough money to buy food, and 39% needed medicines they could not afford. Forty percent consumed less than a half kilogram of meat, 50% consumed less than a half kilogram of fruit, a third consumed less than a liter of milk, and a third consumed less than 2 Kg of bread per week. Weight loss was strongly associated with not having enough money to buy food, an inability to afford medication, and consumption of fewer than three meals a day. Concurrent with these conditions, there was a large increase in mortality in Russia. Conclusions. The results of these surveys suggest that many elderly pensioners were experiencing severe nutritional deprivation in the latter half of 1992. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study provides revised baseline data for the Healthy People 2000 objective related to fruit and vegetable intakes, accounting for fruits and vegetables from all sources and measuring servings in a manner consistent with current dietary guidance. Methods. Dietary data from 8181 adults in the US Department of Agriculture's 1989-1991 Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals were examined. All foods were disaggregated into their component ingredients; all fruit and vegetable ingredients were assigned specific weights to correspond to a serving as defined by current dietary guidance materials; and the number of servings was tallied. Results. While mean intakes of fruits and vegetables--4.3 servings per day--were not far from the Year 2000 objective, only 32% of American adults' intakes met the objective. When more stringent standards were set either to compensate for higher calorie levels or to achieve the balance between fruits and vegetables suggested in current guidance, only 24% and 12%, respectively, met the recommendations. Conclusions. These results suggest a need to develop strategies for overcoming barriers to eating fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This article uses folic acid as an example to illustrate some of the complex issues and general principles that emerge when evaluating fortification of the food supply as one possible means to address a public health recommendation. Methods. Distributions of current daily folate intakes from conventional foods and dietary supplements were estimated. Intakes that might result from fortification of cereal-grain products and ready-to-eat cereals at various levels for eight age-gender groups were also estimated by using the US Department of Agriculture's 1987-1988 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Results. The results illustrate that fortification of the US food supply tends to increase folate intakes of consumers at the high end of the intake distribution curves in the target population. Conclusions. The effectiveness of food fortification options for a target population and the safety for the general population impose conflicting challenges that must be considered concurrently when making decisions about fortifying the US food supply.

AB  - Objectives. The purpose of this study was lo determine whether diet adversely affected survival among 2572 older persons with indicators of kidney disease in a population-based cohort. Average follow-up time for survivors, of whom 1453 (57%) had died at analysis, was 14.5 years. Methods. Kidney disease indicators were a "yes" response to "Has a doctor ever told you that you have kidney disease or renal stones?" and/or trace or greater amounts of protein in urine. Dietary protein intakes were calculated from 24-hour recalls. Results. Cox proportional hazards models were used, stratified by sex. with age, body mass index, blood pressure, education, smoking status. total caloric intake, and diabetes mellitus as covariates. Relative risk of total mortality with an additional 15 g of protein per day was 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0% 1.42) among White men with kidney disease indicators, vs 1.00 (95% CI = 0.95, 1.06) among those without them; relative risks of renal-related mortality were 1.32 (95% CI = 0.97, 1.79) and 0.95 (95% CI = 0.81, 1.11), respectively. No significant differences were found for White women. Conclusions. Once chronic renal disease is present, diet may be associated with earlier mortality in White males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. Despite the rapid growth of the US physician supply since the mid-1970s, it remains unclear whether physicians have spread into the most rural areas of the country. This report examines the urban-rural distribution of physicians between 1975 and 1988. Methods. A county-based typology of the urban-rural continuum was employed to examine trends in the supply of nonfederal primary care physicians, specialist physicians, and osteopaths. Results. All urban and rural areas gained physicians during the late 1970s and 1980s. The supply of physicians increased most rapidly in metropolitan counties. Within nonmetropolitan areas, urbanized remote counties became more prominent centers of the physician supply. Osteopaths were more likely to locate in the most rural areas than allopaths. The physician supply in all areas also became more specialized over time. Conclusion. The rapid growth of the US physician supply was associated with the spread of more practitioners into all parts of the country. However, the supply of physicians increased most rapidly in urban areas, widening urban-rural differences in the availability of physicians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to analyse changes in the physical state of water in wheat crowns during cold acclimation and during the freezing/thawing cycle. Spectroscopically measured average spin-spin relaxation times (<em>T</em>2) decreased during cold acclimation and Increased when plants were grown at normal temperatures. Spin-spin relaxation times were accurately approximated by mono-exponential rates for water relaxation on a pixel basis in images. Spin-spin relaxation images whose contrast is proportional to <em>T</em>2 times were calculated allowing association of water relaxation with regions of tissue in spin-echo images during acclimation and freezing. Images taken during freezing revealed non-uniform freezing of tissue in crowns and roots. Acclimated and non-acclimated wheat crowns were imaged during freezing and after thawing. Spin-echo image signal intensity and <em>T</em>2 times decreased dramatically between -4°C and -8 °C as a result of a decrease in water mobility dur- ing freezing. Images collected during thawing were diffuse with less structure and relaxation times were longer, con- sistent with water redistribution in tissue after membrane damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A theoretical model of bubble dissolution in xylem conduits of stems was designed using the finite differential method and Iterative calculations via computer. The model was based on Fick's, Henry's and Charles' laws and the capillary equation. The model predicted the tempo of recovery from embolism in small diameter branches of woody plants with various xylem structures under different xylem water pressures. The model predicted the time required to recover conductivity in any position In the stem. Repeated Iterative solution of the model for different situations yielded an empirical formula to calculate the time for complete recovery of conductivity In stems from a fully embolised initial state. The time, <em>t</em>p, is given by: <em>t</em>p=α(1.95×105/<em>D</em>a)(<em>r</em>cs+0.046) [1/ψxp+4τ-<em>D</em>c+ 9.710 × 10-6] Ds1.86 where α is temperature coefficient; <em>D</em> is the coefficient of diffusion of air In wood at 25°C; <em>r</em>cs is the ratio of the area of total conduit cross section to the stem cross section; ψxp is the stem xylem pressure potential (Pa, where 0 Pa equals atmospheric pressure); τ is solution surface tension (0.072N m-1); and <em>D</em>c and <em>D</em>s are diameters of the conduits and the stem, respectively (m). The equation is valid only when ψxp> -4τ/<em>D</em>c. The model predicts no recovery of conductivity when ψxp&les; -4τ/<em>D</em>c. The model agreed with experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this report we address two questions regarding the regulation of phosphorylated nitrate reductase (pNR; EC 1.6.6.1) by 14-3-3 proteins. The first concerns the requirement for millimolar concentrations of a divalent cation in order to form the inactive pNR: 14-3-3 complex at pH 7.5. The second concerns the reduced requirement for divalent cations at pH 6.5. In answering these questions we highlight a possible general mechanism involved in the regulation of 14-3-3 binding to target proteins. We show that divalent cations (e.g. Ca2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) bind directly to 14-3-3s, and as a result cause a conformational change, manifested as an increase in surface hydrophobicity. A similar change is also obtained by decreasing the pH from pH 7.5 to pH 6.5, in the absence of divalent cations, and we propose that protonation of amino acid residues brings about a similar effect to metal ion binding. A possible regulatory mechanism, where the 14-3-3 protein has to be “primed” prior to binding a target protein, is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Seven strains of Arthrobacter globiformis , and one each of A. crystallopoietes and A. nicotianae , isolated from the water fern Azolla, were cultured for 2–3 d at 30 °C on Pseudomonas Agar F to obtain rods and for 5 d to obtain cocci, then analysed for total cellular fatty acids. In rods, saturated iso - and anteiso -branched 13–19 carbon fatty acids averaged 85% of the total in A. globiformis , 81% in A. crystallopoietes , and 97% in A. nicotianae . Minor components included unsaturated branched chains, hydroxy and cyclopropane fatty acids. Fatty acid composition of A. globiformis was similar to that of A. crystallopoietes but different from that of A. nicotianae . Saturated straight chains in A. nicotianae averaged 1·5% of the total compared with 14–16% in A. globiformis/crystallopoietes , and anteiso -15:0 constituted 73% of the total in A. nicotianae compared with 18–19% in the other species. Composition of cocci was different from that of rods in A. globiformis and A. crystallopoietes. As cells changed from rods to cocci, percentages of saturated and unsaturated straight chains decreased and saturated iso - and anteiso -branched chains increased. In A. nicotianae there were no significant differences in the fatty acids between rods and cocci. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Fifty-one cowpea {Vigna unguiculata) cultivars and lines were tested by mechanical inoculation against seven geographically and pathogenically diverse isolates of blackeye cowpea mosaic potyvirus (BICMV), to identify genetic resources with comprehensive BICMV resistance. Five genotypes, IT 80S 2049, Big Boy, Corona, Serido, and Tennessee Cream #8 were immune from all seven isolates, and an additional three genotypes, TVu-2657, TVu-2740, and TVu-3433, were immune from all isolates except PU-7B, an aberrant BICMV isolate. The diversity among BICMV isolates was illustrated by the range of responses to inoculation among cowpea genotypes, many of which were either immune from or tolerant of individual BICMV isolates.

AB  - Pseudomonas fluorescens strain PFM2, antagonists to Septoria tritici, also inhibited growth of several other phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi in vitro. Three inhibitory compounds were extracted liquid glycerol-peptone-phosphate medium in which strain PFM2 was grown for 4 weeks. The compound recovered in greatest quantity (70 mg/l) was identified as 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol. The other two antibiotics, which were produced in small amounts (<5 mg/l), were not identified. A similar pattern of inhibition against the different bacteria and fungi was exhibited by both 2,4-diacetylphloro-glucinol and strain PFM2 when grown in a medium of the same composition as that in which the antibiotic was produced.

AB  - 1. Relationships between grizzly bears, habitat, and roads were investigated between 1990 and 1994 in the Swan Mountains, Montana. Relationships were examined at three levels of resource selection. 2. Differences existed between habitat and road features within, and those outside, the multi-year composite female grizzly bear home range. Using logistic regression, large resource selection probability functions were obtained for the subalpine zone within multiple-use lands having no roads. Selection probability was zero for private lands and declined as total road density increased. 3. Within seasonal ranges, most grizzly bears favoured low temperate and temperate elevation zones over the subalpine zone during all seasons. Relative to forested habitats, avalanche chutes were positively selected for during all seasons, but especially in spring. Shrub lands and cutting units were important to most bears during summer and autumn. Grizzly bears were more closely associated with higher total road densities during spring than during other seasons. When in low temperate habitats, most bears used habitats with lower total road density than occurred randomly. 4. Seasonal use by grizzly bears of areas within a 0⋅5 km buffer surrounding roads was evaluated. Most grizzly bears exhibited either neutral or positive selection for buffers surrounding closed roads and roads receiving <10 vehicles per day but avoided buffers surrounding roads having >10 vehicles per day. 4. Between 1988 and 1994, eight grizzly bears were killed by humans. These deaths were directly influenced by road access and unnatural food sources. These deaths, in addition to natural mortality, were too great to promote local population growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Deformations of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir trees were surveyed for the purpose of determining climatic wind speeds and directions and snow depths in the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in the Snowy Range of southeastern Wyoming, USA. Tree deformations were recorded at 50- and 100-m grid intervals over areas of c. 30 ha and 300 ha, respectively, over the GLEES. The climatic mean wind speed was estimated to be 7-4m s-1; the mean air flow was predominantly westerly. The snow depths ranged from less than 0.2m to 5.5m. depending on topographic features and vegetative architecture. Compared with snow depth surveys, precipitation measurements, and a degree-day snow depth model, the average snow depth estimated by the tree deformation method was 70% of the long-term mean. The tree deformation method was useful for detailed estimates of wind speed, wind direction, and snow depth at a fine scale in complex terrain where meteorological instrumentation and snow survey data are minimal.

AB  - Studies of the effects of applications of locust insecticides on birds were conducted in the savannah of northern Senegal in 1989. The insecticides studied were fenitrothion at 485 and 825 g ha-1 and chlorpyrifos at 270 and 387 g ha-1. Total bird numbers decreased on all treated plots. Decreases in three of the most abundant species were significant on the fenitrothion plots. Some of the decrease was due to bird mortality, but apparently most of it represented movements of birds in reaction to a reduction in their arthropod food. The reduction in grasshoppers was four times greater on the fenitrothion plots than on the chlorpyrifos plots, and this difference was reflected by a decrease in the insect foods eaten by birds after the treatments.

AB  - We extend the methods developed by Hausmann and Klinger (2006) to measure and compare the dynamics of a country's structural transformation and apply the methods to China, Malaysia, and Ghana over the period 1962-2000. The results show that the rate of structural transformation is proportionately higher when a country produces more compact clusters of capital and consumer durable goods which in turn appear to lead more rapidly into new varieties of goods of higher unit values. We find that China's transformation is the result of increasing proximity of her production/export basket to capital goods and consumer durables and the increasing values of new products in these two clusters. Malaysia's product space in 1962 contained fewer of the world's cluster of industrial goods than did China's. The country nevertheless achieved a more rapid pace of transformation in the late 1980s which reduced her structural gap with China. The structure of the Ghanaian economy, however, is stagnant over time, and the country's production profile is dominated by primary goods of low value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper uses an entropy-based information approach to determine if farmland values are more closely associated with urban pressure or farm income. The basic question is: how much information on changes in farm real estate values is contained in changes in population versus changes in returns to production agriculture? Results suggest population is informative, but changes in farmland values are more strongly associated with changes in the distribution of returns. However, this relationship is not true for every region nor does it hold over time, as for some regions and time periods changes in population are more informative. Results have policy implications for both equity and efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cinnamaldehyde was delivered in emulsion form using Acetem 90-50K as a carrier and Tween 60 as emulsifier. Cinnamaldehyde interacted with Acetem 90-50K by forming H-bonds. The effect of disperse phase characteristics on storage stability, physical and antimicrobial properties was investigated. A storage test of emulsions was carried out for 15 days at two temperatures (22 and 4 °C). Emulsions and nano-emulsions showed higher stability at 22 °C than at 4 °C. Nano-emulsions displayed excellent stability versus creaming and coalescence after 15 days storage at 22 °C ( z-avg <100 nm). Physical properties were greatly affected by droplet size and concentration. Emulsions became less viscous, more transparent and darker as the droplet size or concentration decreased. The antimicrobial activity was measured against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli was highly resistant to cinnamaldehyde compared to L. monocytogenes. Incubation with cinnamaldehyde at 2.5 mM caused the complete inactivation of L. monocytogenes after 1 day and of E. coli after 9 days. There was no difference in the antimicrobial effect of cinnamaldehyde due to different droplet sizes (~80 and ~5,000 nm). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The fatty acid composition of the seed oils of Thespesia populnea and cotton variety SG-747 ( Gossypium hirsutum) were studied to identity their 17-carbon fatty acids. With a combination of chemical derivatization, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry, 8-heptadecenoic acid, 9-heptadecenoic acid, and 8,11-heptadecadienoic acids were identified in both oils. Additionally, traces of 10-heptadecenoic acid were identified in the T. populnea oil. Although these odd-carbon number fatty acids are present in only minor amounts in cottonseed oil, they make up about ~2 % of the fatty acids in T. populnea seed oil. The identification of these acids indicates that fatty acid α-oxidation is not restricted to cyclopropene fatty acids in these plants, but also occurs with unsaturated fatty acids. Combined with malvalic acid (generally accepted as being formed by α-oxidation of sterculic acid), ~7 % of the fatty acids in T. populnea seed have under gone α-oxidization. The results should help clarify the composition of T. populnea seed oil, which has been reported inconsistently in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The fatty acid moiety of 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol (2-MAG) undergoes spontaneous acyl migration to the sn-1(3) position, resulting in a thermodynamic equilibrium of approximately 1:9 of 2-MAG to 1(3)-monoacyl-sn-glycerol (1-MAG). Spontaneous acyl migration is an impediment to synthesizing and isolating specific 2-MAG for use as intermediates in the synthesis of structured triacylglycerols. 2-Monooleoyl-sn-glycerol was synthesized by the enzymatic ethanolysis of triolein and isolated by liquid CO extraction. The resultant MAG, diacylglycerol, and fatty acid ethyl esters were quantified by H NMR and supercritical fluid chromatography. The low polarity of the CO and mild extraction temperature (25 °C) resulted in very low spontaneous acyl migration rates, allowing the MAG to be isolated in 80% yield and in a very high 2-MAG:1-MAG ratios of ≥93 mol%.

AB  - Three sets of ground corn and the corresponding distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were collected from three commercial plants and analyzed for individual phenolic acids and antioxidant capacity. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of processing on phenolic acids content and antioxidant capacity of corn and the corresponding processed DDGS samples. The five phenolic acids identified in corn and DDGS were vanillic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acids. Ferulic and p-coumaric acids accounted for about 80% of the total identified and quantified phenolic acids. The phenolic acids profile of DDGS was comparable to that of corn. The content of total phenolic acids per gram basis, in DDGS was 3.40 fold higher and antioxidant capacity was 2.58 fold more than that of corn. These observations suggest that there was little degradation in individual phenolic acids content during dry grind processing. Furthermore, significant variation in measured individual and total phenolic acids, and antioxidant capacity among processing plants existed for both corn and DDGS. Results from this study will be valuable to bioethanol manufacturers and the feed industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Service-sire conception rate (SCR) evaluations were implemented for the United States in August 2008. Only inseminations from the most recent 4 yr of breeding records are used for SCR evaluations, and all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the data submission deadline for an evaluation. In April 2012, edits for SCR were modified so that all inseminations must have occurred ≥70 d before the last herd test date rather than the constant date of 70 d before the data submission deadline. This edit more precisely measures the days of opportunity for a cow to be diagnosed as pregnant or not pregnant following insemination, and is herd specific. The number of inseminations before the edit change was 16,906,385 compared with 16,492,331 after the edit change. Correlations of SCR before and after the edit change were 0.96 for Holsteins and slightly lower for other breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. Weekly mean conception rates after the edit change were more stable for the most recent inseminations. The conception rate was 60% at wk 10 before the constant cutoff date (before edit change) compared with 42% at 10 wk before the last herd test date (after the edit change). Similar edits to SCR are applied to heifer conception rate (HCR) and cow conception rate data (CCR), and were changed in August 2012 to use herd-specific cutoff dates. The HCR and CCR correlations before and after the edit change were 0.99 or higher for all breeds, with little change in mean or standard deviation. The new edits improve accuracy of SCR, HCR, and CCR evaluations by accounting for differing opportunity to confirm pregnancy caused by discontinued testing or differences in herd testing schedule.

AB  - Reliability of predictions from single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) can be calculated by matrix inversion, but that is not feasible for large data sets. Two methods of approximating reliability were developed based on the decomposition of a function of reliability into contributions from records, pedigrees, and geno-types. Those contributions can be expressed in record or daughter equivalents. The first approximation method involved inversion of a matrix that contains inverses of the genomic relationship matrix and the pedigree relationship matrix for genotyped animals. The second approximation method involved only the diagonal elements of those inverses. The 2 approximation methods were tested with a simulated data set. The correlations between ssGBLUP and approximated contributions from genomic information were 0.92 for the first approximation method and 0.56 for the second approximation method; contributions were inflated by 62 and 258%, respectively. The respective correlations for reliabilities were 0.98 and 0.72. After empirical correction for inflation, those correlations increased to 0.99 and 0.89. Approximations of reliabilities of predictions by ssGBLUP are accurate and computationally feasible for populations with up to 100,000 genotyped animals. A critical part of the approximations is quality control of information from single nucleotide polymorphisms and proper scaling of the genomic relationship matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Genomic evaluations for 161,341 Holsteins were computed by using 311,725 of 777,962 markers on the Illumina Bovine-HD Genotyping BeadChip (HD). Initial edits with 1,741 HD genotypes from 5 breeds revealed that 636,967 markers were usable but that half were redundant. Holstein genotypes were from 1,510 animals with HD markers, 82,358 animals with 45,187 (50K) markers, 1,797 animals with 8,031 (8K) markers, 20,177 animals with 6,836 (6K) markers, 52,270 animals with 2,683 (3K) markers, and 3,229 nongenotyped dams (0K) with >90% of haplotypes imputable because they had 4 or more genotyped progeny. The Holstein HD genotypes were from 1,142 US, Canadian, British, and Italian sires, 196 other sires, 138 cows in a US Department of Agriculture research herd (Beltsville, MD), and 34 other females. Percentages of correctly imputed genotypes were tested by applying the programs find-hap and FImpute to a simulated chromosome for an earlier population that had only 1,112 animals with HD geno-types and none with 8K genotypes. For each chip, 1% of the genotypes were missing and 0.02% were incorrect initially. After imputation of missing markers with find-hap, percentages of genotypes correct were 99.9% from HD, 99.0% from 50K, 94.6% from 6K, 90.5% from 3K, and 93.5% from 0K. With FImpute, 99.96% were correct from HD, 99.3% from 50K, 94.7% from 6K, 91.1% from 3K, and 95.1% from 0K genotypes. Accuracy for the 3K and 6K genotypes further improved by approximately 2 percentage points if imputed first to 50K and then to HD instead of imputing all genotypes directly to HD. Evaluations were tested by using imputed actual genotypes and August 2008 phenotypes to predict deregressed evaluations of US bulls proven after August 2008. For 28 traits tested, the estimated genomic re-liability averaged 61.1% when using 311,725 markers vs. 60.7% when using 45,187 markers vs. 29.6% from the traditional parent average. Squared correlations with future data were slightly greater for 16 traits and slightly less for 12 with HD than with 50K evaluations. The observed 0.4 percentage point average increase in reliability was less favorable than the 0.9 expected from simulation but was similar to actual gains from other HD studies. The largest HD and 50K marker effects were often located at very similar positions. The single-breed evaluation tested here and previous single-breed or multibreed evaluations have not produced large gains. Increasing the number of HD genotypes used for imputation above 1,074 did not improve the reliability of Holstein genomic evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study which examined the effects of glycerol on feed sorting and the feed intake patterns of dairy cows that are used to high-moisture corn. The total mixed ration (TMR) was measured to ascertain the feed consumption pattern of cows during pre- and post-partum periods. The sorting behavior of cows and their feed consumption pattern changed after the introduction of glycerol, which may decrease diurnal variations in the rumen environment.

AB  - The objective of this producer survey was to identify and estimate damage caused by bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies. The interactions between birds and livestock have previously been implicated in causing economic damage while contributing to the environmental dissemination of microorganisms pathogenic to livestock and humans. Very little research exists to help producers understand what bird species use dairies, why they use dairies, or the scope and nature of damage created as a result of bird-livestock interactions. To better characterize these interactions, we surveyed dairy operators within Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin. Survey results suggest that the most common and destructive bird species found on commercial dairies are invasive to North America, and their use of dairies is associated with the loss of cattle feed, increased operating costs, and an increase in dairies self-reporting Salmonella spp. and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis. Cattle feed loss estimates generated from this survey were used to parameterize an input-output (IO) economic model using data from 10 counties in the state of Pennsylvania (Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bradford, Chester, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Somerset). This IO model allowed us to estimate direct, indirect, and induced economic effects of feed loss from bird damage to dairies within these counties. The IO model output suggests that feed loss costs Pennsylvania between $4.11 and $12.08 million (mean $10.6 million) in total economic damage, with approximately 43 to 128 jobs (mean 112) forgone statewide in 2009.

AB  - The frustrations of forage producers attempting to conserve high-quality alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) silage during periods of unstable or inclement weather are widely known. Our objectives for this series of studies were to (1) assess indicators of ensilability, such as pH, buffering capacity, water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), and starch for wilting alfalfa forages receiving no rainfall or damaged by simulated or natural rainfall events; (2) use these data as inputs to calculate the threshold moisture concentration that would prohibit a clostridially dominated fermentation; and (3) further evaluate the effects of rain damage or no rain damage on measures of forage nutritive value. Rainfall events were applied to wilting forages by both simulated and natural methods over multiple studies distributed across 4 independent forage harvests. Generally, simulated rainfall was applied to alfalfa under controlled conditions in which forages were relatively wet at the time of application, and subsequently were dried to final moisture endpoints under near ideal conditions within a constant temperature/humidity environmental chamber, thereby limiting postwetting wilting time to =21 h. As a result, indicators of ensilability, as well as measures of nutritive value, changed only marginally as a result of treatment. Consistently, reductions in concentrations of WSC and starch occurred, but changes in WSC were relatively modest, and postwetting concentrations of WSC may have been buoyed by hydrolysis of starch. When forages were subjected to natural rainfall events followed by prolonged exposure under field conditions, indicators of ensilability were much less desirable. In one study in which alfalfa received 49.3 mm of natural rainfall over a prolonged (8-d) field-exposure period, fresh pH increased from 6.48 to 7.43 within all forages exposed to these extended, moist wilting conditions. Furthermore, sharp reductions were observed in buffering capacity (410 vs. 337 mEq/kg of DM), WSC (6.13 vs. 2.90%), starch (2.28 vs. 0.45%), and clostridially dominated fermentation (62.7 vs. 59.4%). Based on these experiments, the potential for good fermentation is affected only minimally by single rainfall events applied to relatively wet forages, provided these events are followed by rapid dehydration; however, attaining acceptable silage fermentations with forages subjected to prolonged exposure under poor drying conditions is likely to be far more problematic.

AB  - Previous research has shown that eastern gamagrass (EGG; Tripsacum dactyloides L.) will survive winter climatic conditions common throughout central Wisconsin, and will produce yields of dry matter (DM) ranging approximately from 7,000 to 10,000 kg/ha annually when managed with a 1-cut harvest system. The objective of this research was to determine whether the fibrous nature of this perennial warm-season grass could be effective in reducing the caloric density and DMI of corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets for replacement dairy heifers. A total of 120 Holstein dairy heifers were blocked by body weight (heavy, 424 ± 15.9 kg; medium, 369 ± 11.8 kg; light, 324 ± 22.4 kg), and then assigned to 15 individual pens containing 8 heifers each. Eastern gamagrass forage was harvested, ensiled, and subsequently incorporated into blended corn silage/ alfalfa haylage diets at rates of 0, 9.1, 18.3, or 27.4% of the total dietary DM (EGG0, EGG9, EGG18, and EGG27, respectively). These diets were offered during a 105-d evaluation period for ad libitum intake; however, the EGG0 diet also was offered on a limit-fed basis (LF), which was set at 85% of the voluntary intake of EGG0. Serial additions of EGG increased concentrations of neutral detergent fiber in blended diets from 39.6 (EGG0) to 48.7% (EGG27), and simultaneously reduced corresponding estimates of total digestible nutrients (TDN) from 68.2 to 61.3%, and net energy for gain from 1.07 to 0.83 Mcal/kg. Dry matter intakes for all diets offered ad libitum were greater than observed for LF (9.06 vs. 8.07 kg/d); however, DM intakes for diets containing EGG were reduced relative to EGG0 (9.40 vs. 8.94 kg/d). Similarly, intakes of TDN were greater for diets offered for ad libitum intake than for LF (5.84 vs. 5.50 kg/d); however, inclusion of EGG reduced TDN intakes relative to EGG0 (6.41 vs. 5.65 kg/d). This reduction was explained by both linear and quadratic effects of the inclusion rate of EGG in the diet. Over the 105-d trial, total weight gains ranged from 89 kg (0.85 kg/d) for heifers offered EGG27 up to 114 kg (1.09 kg/d) for those offered EGG0. Performance was similar between heifers offered EGG27 and LF diets (0.85 vs. 0.88 kg/d). Eastern gamagrass haylage proved to be a completely nonsortable additive within corn silage/alfalfa haylage diets. It also was effective in limiting the caloric density and DM intake of these diets, as well as undesirable weight gains by dairy heifers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We reported previously that ovariectomy alters prepubertal development of mammary myoepithelial cells (MC) by mechanisms that are not well understood. Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed expression of 2 myoepithelial differentiation markers, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CD10), in mammary parenchymal tissue from intact (INT) and ovariectomized (OVX) heifers. On d 40, Holstein heifers underwent either an ovariectomy (OVX; n = 16) or a sham (INT; n = 21) operation. At 55, 70, 85, 100, 130, and 160 d of age, tissues were collected, and multispectral imaging was used to quantify immunofluorescent staining for myoepithelial cell (MC) markers. Fluorescent intensity (FI) of the markers was normalized against a control sample. In the basal epithelial layer, CD10 FI was less and SMA FI was greater in OVX than INT. The ratio of SMA to CD10 FI, as a proxy indicator for MC differentiation, was greater in tissue from OVX compared with INT heifers after 55 d of age. The staining for SMA was frequently more intense along the basal aspect of cells, whereas CD10 expression was localized on the apical surface of the MC. In mammary tissue from both INT and OVX heifers, we observed basal cells that were negative for both CD10 and SMA, some of which appeared to span the distance from basement membrane to the ductal lumen. Interestingly, we also observed CD10+ cells adjacent to the ductal lumen, a situation that was more prevalent in OVX than in INT heifers. Also, ovariectomy affects MC expression of both SMA and CD10, as well as the pattern of MC development. Myoepithelial cells are known to limit parenchymal growth in other species. Involvement of MC as regulators of prepubertal bovine mammary development is worthy of further investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Of 20 Lactobacillus and 8 Bifidobacterium species examined, only Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 was able to ferment starch from fava beans. Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 were selected as probiotics for use in fresh-style Panela cheese. Two types of fresh cheese (with and without 3% fava bean starch) were manufactured with 3 combinations of probiotics: L. rhamnosus GG only, B. breve only, or both L. rhamnosus GG and B. breve. During 4 wk of storage at 4°C, the addition of fava bean starch to the cheese was not found to cause significant differences in the viability of either probiotic strain. However, the microstructure and texture of Panela cheese were altered, resulting in a much softer product. A sensory panel showed that the presence of added fava bean starch in Panela cheese was less desirable to consumers, whereas probiotic supplementation had no effect on perceived taste or appearance. Panela cheese could be a suitable food for inclusion of probiotic bacteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To aid in improvement of breeding programs for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats, breed differences over time were documented and genetic parameters were estimated. Data were from herds with ≥2 breeds (Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, or Toggenburg), but only purebred data were analyzed. Three kidding periods were examined: 1976 through 1984, 1985 through 1994, and 1995 through 2005. Univariate repeatability mixed models were used to estimate least squares means by kidding period-breed and genetic parameters for milk, fat, and protein yields, combined fat and protein yield, fat and protein percentages, protein:fat ratio, age at first kidding, and kidding interval. Trends across kidding periods were favorable for most yield traits for all breeds but generally unfavorable for reproduction traits. Saanens had the highest milk (1,063 to 1,125 kg) and protein yields (31 to 33 kg). Nubians had the highest fat yields (37 to 40 kg) and lowest milk yields (791 to 851 kg). Oberhaslis had the lowest fat (31 to 33 kg) and protein (23 to 27 kg) yields. Alpines had the largest increase in milk yield (7.4%); Oberhaslis had the largest increase in protein (17.4%) and combined fat and protein (13.2%) yields. Combined fat and protein yield was higher for Nubians, Saanens, and Alpines (65 to 72 kg) than for LaManchas, Toggenburgs, and Oberhaslis (53 to 67 kg). Nubians had the highest fat (4.7 to 4.8%) and protein (3.6 to 3.8%) percentages. Only Nubians increased in fat percentage (2.1%); protein percentage increased most for Toggenburgs (7.4%) and Alpines (7.1%). Protein:fat ratio was highest for Toggenburgs (0.84 to 0.89) and lowest for Nubians (0.76 to 0.81), but Nubians had the largest increase in protein:fat ratio (6.6%). Saanens were oldest at first kidding (509 to 589 d), and Toggenburgs and LaManchas generally were youngest (435 to 545 d); age at first kidding increased most for Alpines (21.8%) and LaManchas (21.6%). Kidding intervals generally were shorter for Oberhaslis, LaManchas, and Nubians (350 to 377 d) than for Toggenburgs, Alpines, and Saanens (373 to 387 d). Kidding interval increased most for Nubians (3.9%) and Saanens (3.8%) and decreased only for Oberhaslis (5.4%). Heritability estimates across breeds were 0.35 for milk and fat yields, 0.37 for protein yield and protein:fat ratio, 0.36 for combined fat and protein yield, 0.52 for fat percentage, 0.54 for protein percentage, 0.23 for age at first kidding, and 0.05 for kidding interval. Genetic selection within breed is feasible for production and reproduction traits of US dairy goats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper uses a real options perspective to augment a standard research and development (R&D) investment model and implement a firm-level empirical analysis to assess the practical significance of market uncertainty and its interactions with strategic rivalry and firm size. We use a measure of firm-relevant market uncertainty along with panel data and find that firms invest less in current R&D as uncertainty about market returns increases. The effect of firm-specific uncertainty on R&D investment is smaller in markets where strategic rivalry is likely to be more intense. Furthermore, holding access to financing constant, the effect of uncertainty on R&D investment is attenuated for large firms. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We reviewed methods of studies assessing restaurant foods' sodium content and nutrition databases. We systematically searched the 1964-2012 literature and manually examined references in selected articles and studies. Twenty-six (5.2%) of the 499 articles we found met the inclusion criteria and were abstracted. Five were conducted nationally. Sodium content determination methods included laboratory analysis (n = 15), point-of purchase nutrition information or restaurants' Web sites (n = 8), and menu analysis with a nutrient database (n = 3). There is no comprehensive data system that provides all information needed to monitor changes in sodium or other nutrients among restaurant foods. Combining information from different sources and methods may help inform a comprehensive system to monitor sodium content reduction efforts in the US food supply and to develop future strategies.

AB  - Analytical methodology to detect ricin and Shiga toxins (Stx) in food matrices is important for food safety and biosecurity. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind each toxin were used for capture in sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and IgY polyclonal antibodies were prepared as detection antibodies. The ricin assay systems, using colorimetric or chemiluminescent substrates, detected native, but not heat-denatured ricin. The lower limit of detection (LOD) was 0.13 ng mL−1in milk and 0.8 ng g−1in ground beef. The Stx2 assay systems detected native Stx2, but not heat-denatured Stx2 or Stx1. The LOD was 0.13 ng mL−1in milk and 0.7 ng g−1in ground beef. Using a standard 96-well-plate format, the assays can detect less than 1 × 10−4of an estimated lethal oral dose of either toxin in a serving of milk. The IgY detection antibodies for ricin were more heat-stable than mouse polyclonal anti-ricin at 65°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The concern of the environmental impacts of electricity generation from fossil fuels and the desire for the country to be less dependent on fossil fuels have resulted in the U.S. Government offering various incentives to promote electricity from renewable sources. The U.S. electricity generation sector faces uncertainties that include future demand, the costs of supply, and the effects of regulation policies. National policies that aim to promote "clean" energy sources may have different impacts for different areas of the country, so it is important to understand the regional effects in addition to the larger national picture. The primary purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the uncertainties associated with the outcomes of possible regulations. The study does not intend to make predictions of the probability or direction of environmental policy in the U.S. Rather, we examine a number of different scenarios and explore their possible impacts on the future of energy system. We focus on future projections for electricity generation mix, electricity costs, emissions and emissions abatement costs under different scenarios. We have examined the key regulations through analyzing various assumptions using the MARKet ALlocation (MARKAL) model and the Environmental Protection Agency's Nine Region MARKAL Database (EPAUS9r). We have analyzed how command-and-control regulations and market-based environmental policy approaches could change the mix of fuels used for electricity generation, the amount of CO2 emissions, and the cost of electricity in different parts of the U.S. In particular, we explore how some proposed features of different policies designs affect those outcomes and identify underlying causes of uncertainty about such outcomes. The analyzed policies lead to 6-25% reduction in total CO2 emissions by 2035. The policies also result in modest increases on electricity costs nationally, but this masks a wide variety of effects across regions. The relationship between the policy's effects on costs depends on the design of the policy, regional resource endowments, and the existing generation mix of the region. Generally, the regions with existing high electricity marginal costs would tend to see only minor costs increases and the regions with low electricity marginal costs would see substantial costs increases. Modeling results illustrate that different regions have different preferences in environmental regulations policies and design.

N2  - Fisheries managers use buybacks to reduce fleet capacity, conserve fish stocks, and accomplish other goals. In 2009, Maryland and Virginia conducted auctions to buy back commercial fishing licenses. The auctions in both States had similar timing, objectives, and target populations. The divergent designs of the auctions, however, provide a case study with which to investigate effective buyback practices. We compare and contrast the market designs used by Maryland and Virginia, and describe how those differing designs influenced the respective outcomes.

N2  - Descriptions of agricultural producers' participation in nutrient trading schemes generally refer to crop producers reducing nutrient run-off from fields to generate credits. However, livestock producers may participate differently than crop producers because some are regulated as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), and because agricultural producers generating manure face different costs of reducing nutrient application (and therefore generating credits) from those only using fertilizer. These differences may affect nutrient reduction credit prices and the supply of agriculturally supplied credits, thereby raising the costs to non-agricultural operations of meeting water quality goals. We examine how CAFO laws interact with nutrient trading requirements. We model trading participation by farm type and then simulate trading participation by applying the model to 2007 Census of Agriculture data.

N2  - In order to analyse the effect of exchange rate uncertainty, we apply an empirical gravity equation to two sets of US bilateral trade data: fresh fruit over the period 1976-1999 for a panel of 26 countries; and fresh vegetables over the period 1976-2006 for a panel of nine countries. Based on panel estimation methods, and using both a moving SD measure and the Peree and Steinherr (1989) measure of exchange rate uncertainty, the results show that US bilateral fresh fruit trade has been negatively affected by exchange rate uncertainty. We also find some evidence that the exchange rate between the US dollar and the currencies of Latin American trading partners accounts for most of the negative impact of exchange rate uncertainty on bilateral trade flows in fresh fruit. In contrast, when using panel estimation methods and both measures of exchange rate uncertainty, we find no statistically significant evidence for any negative effect of exchange rate uncertainty on US bilateral fresh vegetable trade. However, we do find a statistically significant negative effect for exchange rate uncertainty when we estimate a US export gravity equation for fresh vegetables using the same panel of countries.

AB  - McGranahan D. and Wojan T. (2007) Recasting the creative class to examine growth processes in rural and urban counties, Regional Studies 41, 1-20. Richard Florida's Rise of the Creative Class (2002) makes a compelling argument that regional development now depends on novel combinations of knowledge and ideas, that certain occupations specialize in this task, that people in these occupations are drawn to areas providing a high quality of life, and thus the essential development strategy is to create an environment that attracts and retains these workers. The present analysis of recent rural development in rural US counties, which focuses on natural amenities as quality of life indicators, supports the creative class thesis. A repetition for urban counties also shows a strong relationship between creative class presence and growth, although natural amenities play a smaller role. However, the results depend on a recast creative class measure, which excludes from the original Florida measure many occupations with low creativity requirements and those involved primarily in economic reproduction. The measure conforms more closely to the concept of creative class and proves to be more highly associated with regional development than the original Florida measure.

AB  - McGranahan D. y Wojan T. (2007) Reformulación de la clase creativa para examinar los procesos de crecimiento en comarcas rurales y urbanas, Regional Studies 41, 1-20. La teoría de la clase creativa, propuesta por Richard Florida en su libro The Rise of the Creative Class (2002), sostiene de forma convincente que el desarrollo regional depende ahora de nuevas combinaciones de conocimiento e ideas, que ciertas ocupaciones se especializan es esta labor, que las personas en estas ocupaciones se interesan por áreas que ofrecen un alto nivel de calidad de vida, y que por tanto la estrategia básica de desarrollo es crear un ambiente que atraiga y conserve a este grupo de trabajadores. En nuestro análisis de reciente desarrollo rural en comarcas rurales de los Estados Unidos, centrado en las prestaciones naturales como indicadores sobre la calidad de vida, defendemos la tesis de la clase creativa. Un caso similar en comarcas urbanas también demuestra un sólido vínculo entre la presencia de la clase creativa y el crecimiento, si bien los indicadores naturales desempeñan un papel más pequeño. Sin embargo, nuestros resultados dependen de una refórmula de medición de la clase creativa que excluye de la medición original de Florida muchas ocupaciones con baja creatividad y en las que es más importante la reproducción económica. Nuestra medición se rige más por el concepto de clase creativa y demuestra estar más relacionado con el desarrollo regional que la medición original de Florida. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - McGranahan D. et Wojan T. (2007) Reformuler la classe créatrice pour examiner les processus de croissance dans les comtés ruraux et urbains, Regional Studies 41, 1-20. Dans son livre Rise of the Creative Class (L'Essor de la classe créatrice) (2002), Richard Florida affirme de façon convaincante que, de nos jours, l'aménagement du territoire dépend des combinaisons originales de la connaissance et des idées, que certaines catégories socioprofessionnelles se spécialisent dans cette tâche, que ceux qui travaillent dans de telles catégories sont poussés vers des professions qui offrent une qualité de la vie élevée, et donc la stratégie clé est de créer un milieu qui attire et retient ces travailleurs. L'analyse du développement rural récent dans les comtés ruraux aux E-U qui porte sur l'équipement naturel comme indicateur de la qualité de la vie, confirme la thèse qui prône la classe créatrice. Répéter l'analyse pour les comtés urbains montre aussi une corrélation étroite entre la présence de la classe créatrice et la croissance, alors que l'équipement naturel joue un moindre rôle. Cependant, les résultats dépendent d'une mesure de la classe créatrice reformulée qui exclut de la mesure originale de Florida beaucoup des professions dont les critères de créativité sont peu importants et dont les employés travaillent principalement dans la production économique. La mesure se conforme plus étroitement à la notion de la classe créatrice et s'avère en corrélation plus étroite avec l'aménagement du territoire que ne le fait la mesure originale de Florida.

AB  - McGranahan D. und Wojan T. (2007) Neues Modell der kreativen Klasse zur Untersuchung von Wachstumsprozessen in ländlichen und städtischen Bezirken, Regional Studies 41, 1-20. In Rise of the Creative Class (2002) legt Richard Florida überzeugend dar, dass eine Regionalentwicklung heute auf neuartige Kombinationen aus Wissen und Ideen angewiesen ist, dass bestimmte Berufe auf diese Aufgabe spezialisiert sind, dass die Ausübenden dieser Berufe von Gebieten mit hoher Lebensqualität angezogen werden und dass die wichtigste Entwicklungsstrategie daher darin bestehen muss, eine Umgebung zu schaffen, die diese Arbeiter anzieht und zum Bleiben bewegt. Unsere Analyse der aktuellen Entwicklung in ländlichen Bezirken der USA stützt sich auf natürliche Erholungsgebiete als Indikatoren der Lebensqualität und bekräftigt die These der kreativen Klasse. Auch bei einer Wiederholung der Studie für städtische Bezirke zeigt sich ein enger Zusammenhang zwischen der Präsenz einer kreativen Klasse und dem Wachstum, obwohl hierbei natürliche Erholungsgebiete eine geringere Rolle spielen. Allerdings hängen unsere Ergebnisse von einem umgestalteten Maßstab für die kreative Klasse ab, bei dem zahlreiche Berufe mit geringen kreativen Anforderungen sowie Berufe, die in erster Linie mit wirtschaftlicher Reproduktion befasst sind, aus dem ursprünglich von Florida herangezogenen Maßstab ausgenommen werden. Unser Maßstab wird dem Konzept einer kreativen Klasse besser gerecht und erweist sich als stärker mit der Regionalentwicklung verknüpft als Floridas ursprünglicher Maßstab.

AB  - Responding to mounting evidence of the association between whole-grain consumption and a reduced risk of heart problems and other diseases, as well as an increased probability of body weight maintenance, the US Government has strongly encouraged its citizens to increase consumption of whole grains. However, compared against the 2005 Federal dietary recommendations, in 1994-1996 only 6% of Americans met the current recommended whole-grain consumption. To narrow this huge gap between actual and recommended consumption of whole grains, considerable changes in consumer behaviour will be needed. A demand system with two censored consumption equations and endogenous food label use and nutrition knowledge variables is estimated to investigate the factors that affect the consumption of whole and refined grains. Food label use and nutrition knowledge are found to play important roles in the consumption of refined- and whole-grain products, as are sociodemographic variables. The results can be used to help develop effective nutrition education messages and targeting strategies to promote consumption of whole grains in Americans' diets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Douglas fir [<em>Pseyditsyga menziesii</em> (Mirb.) Franco] seedlings were inoculated with different species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, <em>Rhizophgon vinicolor</em> FSL788-5, <em>Laccaria laccata</em> S238-A, or <em>Hebeloma crustuliniforme</em> HeCr2, to determine how different fungi affect the response of photosynthesis and water relations of seedlings to drying soil. Potted seedlings were grown in a greenhouse for 6 months under well-watered conditions, then transferred to a growth chamber where measurements were made as the soil dried. <em>Rhizopogon</em> enhanced both net photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance compared to non-mycorrhizal controls (P < 0.01) over the soil water potential range of --0.05 to -0.50 MPa, despite 0.2 to 0.3 MPa lower leaf water potential. <em>Hebeloma</em> tended to enhance, while <em>Laccaria</em> decreased net photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance of host seedlings over this range of soil water potential, but neither fungus affected leaf potential. Our observations for <em>Rhizopogon</em> and <em>Laccaria</em> could not be explained by existing hypotheses based on mycorrhizal effects on plant size, nutrition, osmotic adjustment, or water uptake characteristics. Nutrition may have been a factor for <em>Hebeloma</em>. We propose that in the absence of nutritional and water uptake effects, net photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance are correlated with rate of export of photosynthate to the mycorrhizal fungus. Strong mycorrhizal demand for photosynthate stimulates photosynthesis, to which stomata respond by opening, notwithstanding water stress. Our results for <em>Rhizopogon</em> are consistent with this hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Inoculation of seedlings of black oak (Quercus velutina Lam.) with Pisolithus tinctorius (Pers.) Coker and Couch and Suillus luteus (L. ex Fr.) S. F. Gray stimulated total growth and several individual growth components as indicated by classical growth analysis of a 19-week experiment. Inoculation with Pisolithus was more effective in increasing growth than was inoculation with Suillus. Mycorrhizal seedlings exhibited generally higher leaf area ratios than did uninfected seedlings from the seventh week after planting. Unit leaf rates (E) and relative growth rates (R) were higher for two of five harvest intervals in mycorrhizal plants, with the greatest values of &Esline; and &Rsline; observed in seedlings inoculated with Pisolithus. The alteration of growth patterns associated with inoculation was observed from six to nine weeks before substantial infection was detected. In general, mycorrhizal infection was associated with a greater relative investment of dry weight in leaf area and in early stimulation of &Esline; and &Rsline;, a situation that increased total growth greatly as a result of early gains in productive plant mass.

Mycelia of <em>V. dahliae</em> were confined to the vessel lumina. Terpenoid aldehyde phytoalexins were detected histochemically in fresh sections as red Sb-chelates after application of the terpenoid aldehyde-specific SbCl3 reagent. Most terpenoid aldehydes were detected as diffuse deposits in and around colonized xylem vessels; however some were localized in solitary xylem parenchyma cells appressed to vessel walls or in solitary xylem and pith parenchyma cells removed from any <em>V. dahilae-</em>colonized vessels. Thus physical contact with the pathogen is not required for elictation of terpenoid aldehyde accumulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ah antiserum for spores and hyphae of Glomus epigaeum was developed employing extracted chlamydospore walls as ah antigen. The reaction with fungal material was visualized by ah indirect immunofluorescent technique. The staining was most intense and uniform on hyphae from a root preparations and on the inner spore walls and hyphal attachments from spore preparations. The staining reaction was strongest for G. epigaeum, but G. mosseae and G. deserticola also reacted. The staining reaction appeared to be specific for the genus Glomus, as endomycorrhizal species of Gigaspora, Acaulospora and other soil and root-inhabiting fungi tested did not react.

AB  - Infection of rough lemon seedlings (<em>Citrusjambhiri</em> Lush) by the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus, <em>Glomus intraradices</em> (Schenck and Smith), increased root growth and transpiration rate and reduced leaf water potentials relative to non-infected control plants. Half of the VAM and control plants were subjected to three drying cycles each of 5 to 7 days. The hydraulic conductivity of previously drought stressed root systems was lower than that of the well-watered plants and VAM infection further reduced root conductivity. These data suggest that the higher root densities and higher transpiration rates of VAM infected plants may have depleted soil water more quickly than the non-infected seedlings and resulted in more severe water stress conditions during drought cycles.

The levels of lead, four other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc, and pH were measured for each location. The application of multi-response permutation procedures, which are compatible with mapping techniques, reveals that lead as well as cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc is concentrated and ubiquitous within the soils of the inner-city area of Metropolitan Baltimore. The probability values that the concentration of metals occurred by chance alone vary from about 10[sup -15] to 10[sup -21] depending on the metal considered. Our findings pose environmental and public health issues, especially to children living within the inner-city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - An electronic capacitance meter was used to estimate herb age yield from sown ranges in western USA. On an area in Arizona where the grass stand had been sown broadcast, an r² of 0.47 was obtained between the meter value and oven-dry weight estimate. Excluding those plots with very large amounts of standing dead organic matter (OM), or very succulent plants which had not been sown, improved yield estimates. Tests on pastures in Colorado in which seed haul been drilled and the meter tested to evaluate performance in relation to drill rows showed that a common regression could be used for estimating yield. Methods of placing the meter in relation to row directions are described which avoid a biased estimate of total pasture yield. Cutting the herbage in a 3-dimensional manner improved the r² values over those obtained by the usual 2-dimensional cutting procedures Separation of dead OM from living plant material did not significantly change the r² values and showed that dead OM had very little influence on the meter reading. This dead OM can contribute significantly to variation of the estimate about the regression line, however, and if differences in dead OM are substantial, sample sizes may need to be increased or sampling stratified to obtain an accurate yield estimate Pertinent literature on the evolution of electronic capacitance instruments for estimating herbage yields has been presented in Part 1 of this series (3). The present evaluation is restricted to the herbage yield estimates from mechanically sown pastures. The Neal Electronics Model 18-612 meter was used to make the yield estimates.

AB  - A meter using electronic capacitance to estimate weight of standing vegetation was first tested In 1949. It proved to be Inter and more accurate than most Indirect methods of measurement. Since then, other similar Instruments hare been built and several problems have become apparent. Short or dry vegetation, nonomogeneous distribution of vegetation, non-homogeneous phenology, and electronic circuit Instability were the major problems. The chief steps In the development of capacitance Instruments for estimating vegetation weight are discussed. The significance of each of the major problems has been greatly reduced by Improvements In Instrumentation. The technique of using electronic capacitance has now proved Itself useful under a wide variety of range conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aqueous suspensions of conidia of 285 wild-type strains and mutants of Glioctadium virens. Trichoderma hamatum, T. harzianum and T. viride were tested against Sclerotium rolfsii in the greenhouse. Ten strains of G. ufrens and four strains of T. harzianum suppressed damping-off of snapbean by 30–50% and blight by 36–74%. All strains of T. hamatum and T. viride tested as conidia were ineffective. In general, strains of G. virens were more effective in suppressing disease in the greenhouse than strains of T. harzianum. Several strains of G. virens and T. harzianum used alone were equal to or more effective than double and triple mixtures of such strains in disease suppression. Of four formulations of G. virens tested, germlings, alginate-bran-fermenter biomass pellets, and Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures reduced disease considerably and all three formulations were more effective than conidia in aqueous suspension. Strain Gl-3 of G. virens added to soil as Pyrax-fermenter biomass mixtures in amounts to provide colony- forming units ranging from 1·5 × 103 to 1·2 x 104 per g soil provided statistically significant protection of the host m all concentrations. The extent of biological control with strains GI-3 and GI-21 of G. virens also depended on the strain of the pathogen used. Both strains effectively suppressed disease caused by strain Sr-1 (small sclerotia) of S. rolfsii. They were partially effective against strain Sr-116 (medium size sclerotia) and ineffective against strain Sr-3 (large sclerotia). Although strains GI-3 and Cd-21 colonized the sclerotia of all three strains of S. rolfsii soil effectively, they only reduced germinability of sclerotia of strain Sr-l. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Alginate pellets were prepared from wet fermentor biomass of 11 isolates of Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium virens, with wheat bran as a food base carrier. Pellets with eight of the isolates reduced survival (34-78%) of Rhizoctonia solani in infested beet seed in soil. Pellets containing a T. harzianum isolate (Th-58) and a T. hamatum isolate (TRI-4) were the most effective. All isolates significantly reduced growth of the pathogen from infested beet seed into natural soil. Populations of isolates proliferated in soil to 106-1011 colony-forming units/g (cfu) from propagules within the pellets. Pellets with TRI-4 reduced pathogen survival and growth (>70%) in six different soils and were effective against six R. solani isolates in a natural loamy sand. Survival of R, solani in infested beet seed was not reduced when TRI-4 pellets were added to soil 1-6 weeks before the pathogen; however, saprophytic growth was prevented. Small amounts of biomass (3-0-7-5 g wet weight) in pellets were as effective as a large amount (30-0 g) in suppressing the pathogen. The storage of pellets for more than 6 weeks at 5 or 25°C reduced their effectiveness against R. solani. Pellets prepared with four and three of the 11 isolates prevented damping-off of cotton and sugar beet in the greenhouse, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pelletized formulations of wheat bran or kaolin clay in an alginate gel containing conidia, chlamydospores, or fermentor biomas (FB) of several isolates of the biocontrol fungi Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium virens were prepared. The ability of fungal propagules within the pellets to proliferate in soil was determined. Higher population densities were obtained when alginate pellets added to soil contained chlamydospores rather than condia, and bran rather than kaolin as the bulking agent. The active ingredient in pellets prepared from FB was approximately 5% biomass by weight and contained many chlamydospores. Colony-forming units (cfu) ranged from 106 to 101010/g of soil after soil amendment with FB pellets of 12 Trichoderma and G. virens isolates. Population densities were high during the first 3 weeks of incubation and declined only gradually during 9 weeks. Propagules in FB pellets were more viable at 56 than at 25°C. Viability at 25°C remained high (>70%) after 1 week, but declined to less than 10% after 24 weeks. Despite reduction in propagule viability in stored pellets, numbers of cfu formed after adding these pellets to soil were comparable with those formed from freshly prepared pellets.

AB  - Abstract: Based on the observed anticancer activity of chalcones and retinoids, a novel class of retinoid-chalcone hybrids was designed and synthesized. As part of our ongoing studies to discover natural product based anticancer compounds, the retinoid-chalcone hybrids were tested against the colon cancer cell line HT-29. Retinoid like moiety was introduced through Friedel–Crafts alkylation of toluene. Among the synthesized compounds, the cyano derivative (E)-3-(3-oxo-3-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)prop-1-enyl)benzonitrile 8 showed submicromolar inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.66μM.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Fast food has become a prominent feature of the diet of children in the United States and, increasingly, throughout the world. However, few studies have examined the effects of fast-food consumption on any nutrition or health-related outcome. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that fast-food consumption adversely affects dietary factors linked to obesity risk. METHODS: This study included 6212 children and adolescents 4 to 19 years old in the United States participating in the nationally representative Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals conducted from 1994 to 1996 and the Supplemental Children's Survey conducted in 1998. We examined the associations between fast-food consumption and measures of dietary quality using between-subject comparisons involving the whole cohort and within-subject comparisons involving 2080 individuals who ate fast food on one but not both survey days. RESULTS: On a typical day, 30.3% of the total sample reported consuming fast food. Fast-food consumption was highly prevalent in both genders, all racial/ethnic groups, and all regions of the country. Controlling for socioeconomic and demographic variables, increased fast-food consumption was independently associated with male gender, older age, higher household incomes, non-Hispanic black race/ethnicity, and residing in the South. Children who ate fast food, compared with those who did not, consumed more total energy (187 kcal; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 109-265), more energy per gram of food (0.29 kcal/g; 95% CI: 0.25-0.33), more total fat (9 g; 95% CI: 5.0-13.0), more total carbohydrate (24 g; 95% CI: 12.6-35.4), more added sugars (26 g; 95% CI: 18.2-34.6), more sugar-sweetened beverages (228 g; 95% CI: 184-272), less fiber (-1.1 g; 95% CI: -1.8 to -0.4), less milk (-65 g; 95% CI: -95 to -30), and fewer fruits and nonstarchy vegetables (-45 g; 95% CI: -58.6 to -31.4). Very similar results were observed by using within-subject analyses in which subjects served as their own controls: that is, children ate more total energy and had poorer diet quality on days with, compared with without, fast food. CONCLUSION: Consumption of fast food among children in the United States seems to have an adverse effect on dietary quality in ways that plausibly could increase risk for obesity.

AB  - Twenty-four dinucleotide simple sequence repeat markers were developed for the phytopathogenic fungus, Puccinia graminis. The identified loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to 11 alleles. Observed and expected levels of heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.960 and from 0.113 to 0.846, respectively. Fourteen of the loci deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Null alleles were observed for 10 of the 24 loci with a frequency of 4-16%. A preliminary screen of other Puccinia cereal rust fungi ( P. coronata, P. striiformis and P. triticina) indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. graminis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The incidence of overweight and obesity in the United States and worldwide has reached epidemic proportions. To effectively intervene, dietetics professionals and other health care practitioners need to address both sides of the energy balance equation when counseling clients and patients. Often, the focus on energy intake supersedes the promotion of a physically active lifestyle. Incorporating appropriate and sufficient physical activity into one's life is an essential component of achieving and maintaining a healthful body weight. This review summarizes background knowledge on the benefits of physical activity for health and provides an overview of available tools for measuring physical activity and energy expenditure. The physical and mental health benefits of an active lifestyle, current physical activity recommendations for the US public, the prevalence of inactivity in the United States, and components of energy expenditure are reviewed. Additionally, tools for estimating total energy expenditure, resting metabolic rate, and physical activity are evaluated and suitable approaches for applying these tools are provided.

N2  - Objective: To identify major food sources of 30 nutrients and dietary constituents among US adults during 1994 to 1996, and to compare them with those identified for 1989 to 1991. Design: A total of 6,419 foods were assigned to 112 food groups based on similarities in nutrient content or use. These foods included 3,778 food mixtures disaggregated by the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) FoodLink computerized research tool, so ingredients could be assigned to the appropriate groups and nutrient values ascribed accordingly. Subjects/setting: Single 24-hour dietary recalls from a nationally representative sample of 10,019 adults aged 19 years or older in USDA's 1994 to 1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals were used. Statistical analyses performed: The population proportion formula was used to determine weighted nutrient intakes by food groups. Results were tabulated in descending rank order for food groups providing at least 1% of total nutrient intake. Results: Dietary food sources found for 1994 to 1996 were fairly consistent with 1989 to 1991 results for the rank order and proportion these sources made to total nutrient intakes. Remarkable changes were seen in the higher proportion of energy from alcoholic beverages, in the shifts in the proportion of total fat and fatty acids from oil (higher ranked) and margarine (lower ranked), and in the lower proportion of vitamins and minerals from ready-to-eat cereals. Conclusions: Despite changes in survey methodology, the food supply, and eating patterns, food sources of nutrients among US adults in 1994 to 1996 and 1989 to 1991 were similar. The 1994 to 1996 data are the first known national population estimates for dietary sources of vitamin A (retinol equivalents), selenium, caffeine, and theobromine among US adults.

N2  - The largely unanticipated difficulties of parasite vaccine development have led us to a renewed awareness of the survival strategies evolutionarily embedded within parasites over hundreds of millions of years. We have grown to appreciate that efforts to disrupt parasite-host relationships are substantially compounded by our incomplete understanding of the complex immune responses that occur in the naturally infected host. Given the inability to transfer laboratory successes to field trials, research is leading us to conclude that genetically defined animal models may not be good predictors of the unique and disparate protective immune responses one can expect from the genetically heterogeneous populations of animals that represent the parasite's natural environment. This is further compounded by the abundance of mechanisms parasites have created for themselves to defend against immune intervention. Thus, in the never-ending saga of vaccine development, it is only appropriate that pitfalls and advancements be critiqued as they apply across parasite groups, with a look towards promising technologies that may propel this field to the level of scientific achievement once envisaged.

N2  - Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging pathogen belonging to a newly recognized family of RNA viruses (Hepeviridae). HEV is an important enterically transmitted human pathogen with a worldwide distribution. It can cause sporadic cases as well as large epidemics of acute hepatitis. Epidemics are primarily waterborne in areas where water supplies are contaminated with HEV of human origin. There is increasing evidence, however, that many animal species are infected with an antigenically similar virus. A recently isolated swine virus is the best candidate for causing a zoonotic form of hepatitis E. The virus is serologically cross-reactive with human HEV and genetically very similar, and the human and swine strains seem to be cross-infective. Very recent evidence has also shown that swine HEV, and possibly a deer strain of HEV, can be transmitted to humans by consumption of contaminated meat. In this review, we discuss the prevalence, pathogenicity, diagnosis and control of human HEV, swine HEV, the related avian HEV and HEV in other hosts and potential reservoirs.

N2  - Much research has focused on how the glycaemic index (GI) of the diets of healthy people relates to long-term risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, and non-insulin dependent diabetes. Low-GI diets appear to produce some of their beneficial effects largely by moderating insulinemic responses to meals. Wolever and Bolognesi (1996) have derived a formula for predicting the insulinemic index (II) from the GI for starchy foods. Using data from Holt et al. (1995, 1997) on a wide variety of common foods, we examined differences between the observed II and GI-based estimates of the II. These differences were found to correlate negatively with satiety index ratings and positively with contents of total sugars. We suggest that the aforementioned method of measuring and expressing the relation between the GI and the II may prove useful in exploring how various components and sensory properties of food may affect hunger and energy intake.

AB  - Animal–vehicle collisions cause high levels of vertebrate mortality worldwide, and what goes wrong when animals fail to escape and ultimately collide with vehicles is not well understood. We investigated alert and escape behaviours of captive brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) in response to virtual vehicle approaches of different sizes and at speeds ranging from 60 to 360 km h−1. Alert and flight initiation distances remained similar across vehicle speeds, and accordingly, alert and flight initiation times decreased at higher vehicle speeds. Thus, avoidance behaviours in cowbirds appeared to be based on distance rather than time available for escape, particularly at 60–150 km h−1; however, at higher speeds (more than or equal to 180 km h−1) no trend in response behaviour was discernible. As vehicle speed increased, cowbirds did not have enough time to assess the approaching vehicle, and cowbirds generally did not initiate flight with enough time to avoid collision when vehicle speed exceeded 120 km h−1. Although potentially effective for evading predators, the decision-making process used by cowbirds in our study appears maladaptive in the context of avoiding fast-moving vehicles. Our methodological approach and findings provide a framework to assess how novel management strategies could affect escape rules, and the sensory and cognitive abilities animals use to avoid vehicle collisions.

N2  - Objective To develop a scientifically based childhood obesity prevention program supporting child eating self-regulation and taste preferences. This article describes the research methods for the Strategies for Effective Eating Development program. A logic model is provided that depicts a visual presentation of the activities that will be used to guide the development of the prevention program. Design Randomized, controlled prevention program, pretest, posttest, 6 months, and 12 months. Setting Two sites: Houston, TX and Pasco, WA. Each trial will last 7 weeks with 8–10 mother–child dyads in each arm (prevention and control). Participants Recruitment at Head Start districts (Texas; n = 160) and Inspire Child Development Center including Early Childhood Education and Head Start (Washington; n = 160). Sixteen trials with 16–20 parent–child dyads per trial will provide adequate power to detect moderate effects. Intervention Multicomponent family-based prevention program incorporating a dialogue approach to adult learning and self-determination theory. Main Outcome Measures Child assessments will include observed taste preferences, caloric compensation, and eating in the absence of hunger. Parent assessments will include parent-reported feeding, feeding emotions, acculturation, child eating behaviors, child food preferences, and child dietary intake. Heights and weights will be measured for parent and child. Analysis A multilevel growth modeling analysis will be employed to consider the nested nature of the data: time points (level 1) within families (level 2) within trials (level 3).

AB  - OBJECTIVE. This study examined the association between participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and adherence to 4 American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on infant feeding. METHODS. We used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort, which is nationally representative of children born in 2001. We estimated regression models to assess relationships between program participation and adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on exclusive breastfeeding and the introduction of infant formula, cow's milk, and solid foods. RESULTS. Regression results indicated that WIC participation was associated with a 5.9-percentage point decrease in the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding for ≥4 months and a 1.9-percentage point decrease in the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding for ≥6 months. Program mothers were 8.5 percentage points less likely than nonparticipants to adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation to delay introduction of infant formula until month 6. Program mothers were 2.5 percentage points more likely than nonparticipants to delay the introduction of cow's milk until month 8. Program participants were 4.5 percentage points less likely than nonparticipants to delay the introduction of solid foods for ≥4 months. However, the difference between participants and nonparticipants disappeared by month 6. CONCLUSIONS. Results suggest that, although program participants are less likely to breastfeed exclusively than eligible nonparticipants, program-provided infant formula is an important option for mothers who do not breastfeed exclusively. The program faces the challenge to encourage breastfeeding without undermining incentives to follow other recommended infant feeding practices. Recent changes proposed to the food packages by the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service are consistent with the goal of increasing adherence to recommended infant feeding practices among participants.

N2  - In the search for policies to reduce the effects of limited food access, little consideration has been given to how economic incentives could be used to make it easier for low-income families to access existing healthy food retailers. Using county-level, administrative data on redemption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by store type from May 2007 to May 2010, this paper investigates aggregate responses of SNAP participants to economic and policy changes. Results show that SNAP benefit increases, in general, are associated with a greater percentage of redemptions at superstores. However, other circumstances associated with the large increase in benefits enacted in April 2009 as a part of the stimulus bill reverse the positive effect. Estimates are stable across a number of specifications that also control for gas prices, store-type density, local unemployment and state policies. Results suggest that economic incentives deserve further consideration as an alternative to store development in food desert communities.

N2  - We estimate the impact of vitamin supplement intake, lifestyle, health indicators, food culture, and demographics on diet quality outcomes as measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI). Our data consists of U.S. adults who participated in the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Alternative instrumental variable estimators explicitly address issues of endogeneity and complex sample design. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that diet quality is strongly interrelated with food culture. We suggest that vitamin consumption serves as another marker for healthy eating. This finding emphasizes the need to employ economic modeling when developing public policy to reduce obesity.

N2  - This paper uses data on daily activities from the American Time Use Survey and the associated Eating and Health Module to analyze the relationships between time poverty and specific energy-balance behaviors. The authors estimate a simultaneous model to jointly analyze the relationships between time poverty and the probability of a fast food purchase, the number of eating and drinking occurrences, minutes spent engaging in sports and exercise, and the probability of engaging in active travel (walking or cycling). Time-poor individuals were found to have different eating and physical activity patterns than non-time-poor individuals; those who were time-poor were less likely to purchase fast food and also less likely to engage in active travel.

N2  - We investigate the implementation of the principles of systems engineering in the U.S. Department of Energy's Fuel Cycle Technologies (FCT) Program to provide a framework for achieving its long-term mission of demonstrating and deploying sustainable nuclear fuel cycle options. A fuel cycle "screening" methodology is introduced that provides a systematic, objective, and traceable method for evaluating and categorizing nuclear fuel cycles according to their performance in meeting sustainability objectives. The goal of the systems engineering approach is to transparently define and justify the research and development (R&D) necessary to deploy sustainable fuel cycle technologies for a given set of national policy objectives. The approach provides a path for more efficient use of limited R&D resources and facilitates dialog among a variety of stakeholder groups interested in U.S. energy policy. Furthermore, the use of systems engineering principles will allow the FCT Program to more rapidly adapt to future policy changes, including any decisions based on recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future. Specifically, if the relative importance of policy objectives changes, the FCT Program will have a structured process to rapidly determine how this impacts potential fuel cycle performance and the prioritization of needed R&D for associated technologies.

N2  - The Energy Independence Security Act aims to increase the production of renewable fuels in order to improve the energy efficiency of the United States of America. This legislation set the biofuel production goal at 136.3 million m[superscript 3] by 2022, with approximately 79 million m[superscript 3] derived from advanced biofuels or renewable fuels other than corn ethanol. A bioeconomic model was used to assess the potential impact of the biofuel mandate in terms of nitrogen loss associated with corn production in northern Alabama considering the El Nino Southern Oscillation phases. From simulations conducted at the watershed level, the expansion in biofuel production would increase the production of corn by 122.89% with associated increase in nitrogen loss of 20%. Furthermore, nitrogen loss would be more severe in climatic transition towards La Nina.

The four-jet photoproduction cross section has been measured for the first time and represents the highest-order process studied at HERA. Both the three- and four-jet cross sections have been compared with leading-logarithmic parton-shower Monte Carlo models, with and without multi-parton interactions. The three-jet cross sections have been compared to an perturbative QCD calculation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A nonthermal process using radio frequency electric fields (RFEF) was developed to pasteurize apple cider. An 80kW RFEF pilot plant system was used to process cider at flow rates of 1.5 and 1.9l/min. Escherichia coli K12 in apple cider was exposed to electric field strengths of 20–30kV/cm at frequencies of 21, 30, and 41kHz. Treatment times varied from 140 to 420μs. Electrical energy costs were calculated using the measured voltages and currents. Energy balances were performed using the inlet and outlet temperatures. RFEF processing at an outlet temperature of 60°C reduced the population of E. coli by 4.8 log, whereas thermal processing at the same conditions had no effect. Varying the frequency between 21 and 41kHz had no effect on the level of microbial inactivation; however, increasing the treatment time, field strength and outlet temperature enhanced inactivation. The inactivation data at 20kV/cm and 60°C follow first order kinetics with a calculated D values of 74μs. The inactivation data are represented well by the electric field strength model; the calculated critical electric field strength, E c, for 60°C was 4.0kV/cm. The electrical energy for RFEF pasteurization was 260J/ml. The electrical cost was $0.0050/l of apple cider. Processing temperature had the greatest influence on energy efficiency. A RFEF nonthermal process has been developed to pasteurize apple cider. The effect of varying processing conditions on energy efficiency was investigated and at the optimum condition, the electrical cost appears to be minor. In addition, the RFEF process can be correlated using first order kinetic models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A principal task of evaluating large wildfires is to assess fire''s effect on the soil in order to predict the potential watershed response. Two types of soil water repellency tests, the water drop penetration time (WDPT) test and the mini-disk infiltrometer (MDI) test, were performed after the Hayman Fire in Colorado, in the summer of 2002 to assess the infiltration potential of the soil. Remotely sensed hyperspectral imagery was also collected to map post-wildfire ground cover and soil condition. Detailed ground cover measurements were collected to validate the remotely sensed imagery and to examine the relationship between ground cover and soil water repellency. Percent ash cover measured on the ground was significantly correlated to WDPT (r =0.42; p-value<0.0001), and the MDI test (r =−0.37; p-value<0.0001). A Mixture Tuned Matched Filter (MTMF) spectral unmixing algorithm was applied to the hyperspectral imagery, which produced fractional cover maps of ash, soil, and scorched and green vegetation. The remotely sensed ash image had significant correlations to the water repellency tests, WDPT (r =0.24; p-value=0.001), and the MDI test (r =−0.21; p-value=0.005). An iterative threshold analysis was also applied to the ash and water repellency data to evaluate the relationship at increasingly higher levels of ash cover. Regression analysis between the means of grouped data: MDI time vs. ash cover data (R 2 =0.75) and vs. Ash MTMF scores (R 2 =0.63) yielded significantly stronger relationships. From these results we found on-the-ground ash cover greater than 49% and remotely sensed ash cover greater than 33% to be indicative of strongly water repellent soils. Combining these results with geostatistical analyses indicated a spatial autocorrelation range of 15 to 40 m. Image pixels with high ash cover (>33%), including pixels within 15 m of these pixel patches, were used to create a likelihood map of soil water repellency. This map is a good indicator of areas where soil experienced severe fire effects—areas that likely have strong water repellent soil conditions and higher potential for post-fire erosion.

AB  - Abstract: Our objective was to assess the nutritive value and display-life attributes of selenium-enriched beef-muscle foods. Samples of foreshank and short-loin subprimals were excised from chilled carcasses (n=20) of beef steers that were individually finished (120 days) on either supranutritional selenium (selenium-enriched; 68.1μgSe/kg body weight/day; n=9) or adequate selenium (non-enriched; 9.1μgSe/kg body weight/day; n=11) diets. High-selenium wheat grain was included in the diet of supranutritional selenium-fed steers to achieve selenium-enrichment. Selenium-enriched foreshank had 3.8 times more (1085 vs. 283ng/g wet weight, P<0.01) selenium and 1.3 times more (P<0.01) glutathione peroxidase activity than non-enriched foreshank samples. Selenium-enrichment did not influence foreshank (P=0.16–0.89) moisture, ash, crude protein, and lipid contents, and expressible moisture, or short-loin (P=0.11–0.41) drip-loss percentage or color change throughout the display-life evaluation. The results indicate that, compared to non-enriched, selenium-enriched beef-muscle foods have a much higher amount of selenium and similar display-life attributes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Radioisotope power systems have demonstrated numerous advantages over other types of power supplies for long-lived, unattended applications in space and in remote terrestrial locations. Many especially challenging power applications can be satisfied by proper selection, design, and integration of the radioisotope heat source and the power conversion technologies that are now available or that can be developed. This paper provides a brief review of the factors influencing selection of radioisotopes and design of power systems, and discusses the current state of practice and future programmatic and technical challenges to continued use of radioisotope power systems in space.

AB  - Determining the genomic organization of the Ovis aries ( Ovar) major histocompatibility complex class IIa region is essential for future functional studies related to antigen presentation. In this study, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of genomic DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) of a Rambouillet ram was constructed, and BAC clone consisting of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DQB2, DQA2, DQB1, DQA1, and DRB1 loci was identified and completely sequenced. The BAC clone consists of 160,889 bp of finished sequence with the loci arranged in the following order: DQB2, DQA2, DQB1, DQA1, and DRB1 with 14.3, 25, 6.6, and 40.9 Kb spanning between the loci, respectively. All five of these loci were transcribed in the animal used to generate the MHC class II BAC clone. Repeat or retrotransposable elements along with MHC class II cis promoter elements consisting of S, X, and Y boxes were identified in the sequence. In addition, 16 non-coding conserved sequences amongst primates, carnivores, and ruminants were identified ( p < 0.001). These conserved sequences include binding sites for transcription factors with known roles in immune cells, and they provide a basis for further functional investigation of the genes in this region. This is the first ruminant finished sequence of the DQB2-DRB1 region, and this sequence information will aid in whole genome and transcriptome analyses of MHC class II. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Phylloquinone, the primary dietary form of vitamin K, is converted to menaquinone-4 (MK-4) in certain tissues. MK-4 may have tissue-specific roles independent of those traditionally identified with vitamin K. Fischer 344 male rats of different ages (2, 12, and 24 mo, n = 20 per age group) were used to compare the conversion of phylloquinone to MK-4 with an equivalent dose of another dietary form of vitamin K, 2′ ,3′-dihydrophylloquinone. Rats were age- and diet-group pair-fed phylloquinone (198 ± 9.0 µg/kg diet) or dihydrophylloquinone 1172 ± 13.0 µg/kg diet) for 28 d. MK-4 was the primary form of vitamin K in serum, spleen, kidney, testes, bone marrow, and brain myelin fractions, regardless of age group, MK-4 concentrations were significantly lower in kidney, heart, testes, cortex (myelin), and striatum (myelin) in the dihydrophylloquinone diet group compared with the phylloquinone diet group (P< 0.05). The MK-4 concentrations in 2-mo-old rats were lower in liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and cortex (myelin) but higher in testes compared with 24-mo-old rats (P< 0.05). However, there were no age-specific differences in MK-4 concentrations among the rats fed the 2 diets. These data suggest that dihydrophylloquinone, which differs from phylloquinone in its side phytyl chain, is absorbed but its intake results in less MK-4 in certain tissues. Dihydrophylloquinone may be used in models for the study of tissue-specific vitamin K deficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The transformation of atmospherically deposited inorganic Hg to the toxic, organic form methylmercury (MeHg) is of serious ecological concern because MeHg accumulates in aquatic biota, including fish. Research has shown that the Hg methylation reaction is dependent on the availability of SO4 (as an electron acceptor) because SO4-reducing bacteria (SRB) mediate the biotic methylation of Hg. Much less research has investigated the possible organic C limitations to Hg methylation (i.e. from the perspective of the electron donor). Although peatlands are long-term stores of organic C, the C derived from peatland vegetation is of questionable microbial lability. This research investigated how both SO4 and organic C control net MeHg production using a controlled factorial addition design in 44 in situ peatland mesocosms. Two levels of SO4 addition and energetic-equivalent additions (i.e. same number of electrons) of a number of organic C sources were used including glucose, acetate, lactate, coniferous litter leachate, and deciduous litter leachate. This study supports previous research demonstrating the stimulation of MeHg production from SO4 input alone (∼200pg/L/day). None of the additions of organic C alone resulted in significant MeHg production. The combined addition of SO4 and some organic C sources resulted in considerably more MeHg production (∼500pg/L/day) than did the addition of SO4 alone, demonstrating that the highest levels of MeHg production can be expected only where fluxes of both SO4 and organic C are delivered concurrently. When compared to a number of pore water samples taken from two nearby peatlands, MeHg concentrations resulting from the combined addition of SO4 and organic C in this study were similar to MeHg “hot spots” found near the upland–peatland interface. The formation of MeHg “hot spots” at the upland–peatland interface may be dependent on concurrent inputs of SO4 and organic C in runoff from the adjacent upland hillslopes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The influence of bacterial starvation on cell transport has been examined using two Escherichia coli isolates: one from human (HU) and one from dairy cattle (DC). To better understand the fate of starved bacteria, experiments were conducted in a packed bed column using cells that had been incubating at room temperature without nutrients for 6, 12, and 18h, as well as cells, which had not been starved (referred to as time zero). Complimentary cell characterization techniques were conducted to evaluate the hydrophobicity, mobility, size, and surface charge density of the cells at the conditions considered. It was observed that non-starved HU cells were more adhesive than starved HU cells. This behavior is attributed to the relatively high hydrophobicity of the starved cells, which resulted from greater extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) presence. Non-starved DC cells were also the most adhesive whereas 18h starved cells were the least adhesive, although cell characterization results did not correlate to transport trends like HU cells. For both isolates, the cells after 6h of starvation showed high levels of sugar relative to protein in the EPS. Additionally, following 6h of starvation, the cells did not follow expected transport trends as anticipated from the cellular characterization. Our results suggest transport behavior of environmental E. coli isolates differs in terms of isolate host and starvation conditions. Possible mechanisms responsible for this are changes in key cell surface characteristics and synthesis of starvation-induced proteins. This study highlights the importance of consistency in bacterial preparation for experimental studies and has considerable implications for future evaluation and prediction of E. coli fate in subsurface environments.

AB  - Abstract: A modified one-dimensional Danckwerts convection–dispersion–reaction (CDR) model is numerically simulated to explain the observed chlorine residual loss for a “slug” of reactive contaminants instantaneously introduced into a drinking water pipe of assumed no or negligible wall demand. In response to longitudinal dispersion, a contaminant propagates into the bulk phase where it reacts with disinfectants in the water. This process generates a U-shaped pattern of chlorine residual loss in a time-series concentration plot. Numerical modeling indicates that the residual loss curve geometry (i.e., slope, depth, and width) is a function of several variables such as axial Péclet number, reaction rate constants, molar fraction of the fast- and slow-reacting contaminants, and the quasi-steady-state chlorine decay inside the “slug” which serves as a boundary condition of the CDR model. Longitudinal dispersion becomes dominant for less reactive contaminants. Pilot-scale pipe flow experiments for a non-reactive sodium fluoride tracer and the fast-reacting aldicarb, a pesticide, were conducted under turbulent flow conditions (Re=9020 and 25,000). Both the experimental results and the CDR modeling are in agreement showing a close relationship among the aldicarb contaminant “slug”, chlorine residual loss and its variations, and a concentration increase of chloride as the final reaction product. Based on these findings, the residual loss curve and its geometry are useful tools to identify the presence of a contaminant “slug” and infer its reactive properties in adaptive contaminant detections.

AB  - Time resolved signals in laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) are studied to determine the influence of experimental parameters on ICP-induced fractionation effects. Differences in sample composition and morphology, i.e., ablating brass, glass, or dust pellets, have a profound effect on the time resolved signal. Helium transport gas significantly decreases large positive signal spikes arising from large particles in the ICP. A binder for pellets also reduces the abundance and amplitude of spikes in the signal. MO+ ions also yield signal spikes, but these MO+ spikes generally occur at different times from their atomic ion counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Transient signal responses for ablated samples as a function of particle size and laser parameters are characterized. Data are acquired with time resolution of 5 or 6 ms per data point. Large positive spikes in signal are observed and increase in both amplitude and frequency with increasing particle size. Particle sizes are selected using a differential mobility analyzer. Spikes in the signal also increase with decreasing laser rastering rates. A comparison of lasers with pulse widths of 370 fs and 5 ns shows that shortening the pulse width significantly reduces the frequency and amplitude of positive spikes in signal. These large positive spikes are attributed to the vaporization, atomization, and ionization of individual large intact particles, which are considered to be a major cause of fractionation in laser ablation ICP-MS.

T1  - Expression of cell wall invertase and several other genes of sugar metabolism in relation to seed development in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)

AB  - Summary: We report expression profiles of several genes of carbohydrate metabolism, cell wall invertase (CWI) in particular, to better understand sugar transport and its utilization in developing caryopses of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Gene expression analyses for CWI using RNA gel blot and real-time quantitative PCR approaches on developing caryopses, including the glumes (maternal tissue appended to the seeds), showed expression of SbIncw (ZmIncw2 ortholog) primarily in the basal sugar unloading zone of endosperm. The expression of ZmIncw1 ortholog was significantly less abundant and restricted to the glumes. The protein and enzyme activity data corroborated the temporal transcript expression profile that showed maximal CWI protein (INCW) expression preceding the starch-filling phase of endosperm development, i.e. 6–12d-after-pollination (DAP). Protein gel blot analysis using polyclonal maize INCW1 antibodies showed a single polypeptide of 72kDa. The highest level of enzyme activity was unique to the basal part of the endosperm, in particular the basal endosperm transfer cell (BETC) layer and the maternal pedicel region that were highly enriched for the INCW protein, as seen by immunolocalization. High hexose-to-sucrose ratio in 6–12 DAP seeds, and negligible starch deposition in glumes corroborated the CWI activity data. Additionally, we report transcription profiles of several other genes related to sugar-to-starch metabolism in developing sorghum endosperm. As in maize, the INCW-mediated apoplastic cleavage of sucrose in the BETC and pedicel during the early developmental stages of caryopses is essential for the normal development of filial tissues. The unique cell-specificity of the INCW protein to both proximal and distal ends of placental sac shown here for the first time is likely to greatly increase uptakes of both hexose sugars and water through turgor sensing into developing seed. This trait is unique to sorghum among cereals and may facilitate its survival in drought environment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A thermal-death-time (TDT) disk was designed to evaluate microbiological inactivation kinetics by heat. A first order inactivation kinetic model is described by the D value and the z value. These kinetic data are critical in the design, operation and regulation of thermal pasteurization. D and z values of Salmonella enteritidis strain 13076 and Escherichia coli K12 in liquid whole egg and liquid egg white were determined over the temperature range from 52 to 60°C. In liquid whole egg, D 54, D 56, D 58 and D 60 values of S. enteritidis strain 13076 were 5.70, 0.82, 0.27 and 0.17min, respectively, and D 54, D 56, D 58 and D 60 values of E. coli K12 were 9.10, 1.41, 0.67 and 0.22min, respectively. In liquid egg white, D 52, D 54, D 56 and D 58 values of S. enteritidis strain 13076 were 6.12, 1.51, 0.42 and 0.19min, respectively, and D 52, D 54, D 56 and D 58 values of E. coli K12 were 10.18, 1.82, 0.78 and 0.28min, respectively. The z values for S. enteritidis strain 13076 and E. coli K12 ranged from 3.95 to 4.03°C. The results showed that D values of S. enteritidis strain 13076 and E. coli K12 in liquid whole egg were higher than those in liquid egg white. E. coli K12 exhibited similar kinetic behavior, but higher thermal resistance than S. enteritidis strain 13076 in both liquid egg white and liquid whole egg. This study demonstrated that non-pathogenic E. coli K12 may serve as a surrogate for pathogenic S. enteritidis in liquid egg in the validation of a thermal pasteurization. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates from two 2006 outbreaks were compared to other O157:H7 isolates for virulence genotype, biofilm formation, and stress responses. Spinach- and lettuce-related-outbreak strains had similar pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns, and all carried both stx2 and stx2c variant genes. Cooperative biofilm formation involving an E. coli O157:H7 strain and a non-O157:H7 strain was also demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract  A hydrodynamic threshold between Darcian and non-Darcian flow conditions was found to occur in cubes of Key Largo Limestone from Florida, USA (one cube measuring 0.2 m on each side, the other 0.3 m) at an effective porosity of 33% and a hydraulic conductivity of 10 m/day. Below these values, flow was laminar and could be described as Darcian. Above these values, hydraulic conductivity increased greatly and flow was non-laminar. Reynolds numbers (Re) for these experiments ranged from 3, 40 and 30%, respectively. Two regions of anisotropy were observed, one close to the ground surface, where vertical flow dominated, and the other associated with a dense-laminar layer, below which horizontal flow dominated.

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 294: G548-G553, 2008. First published December 27, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00461.2007.—Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is extensively taken up in gut and liver in healthy humans. To determine whether glucocorticosteroids alter splanchnic glutamine metabolism, the effect of prednisone was assessed in healthy volunteers using isotope tracer methods. Two groups of healthy adults received 5-h intravenous infusions of L-[1-14C]leucine and L-[2H5]glutamine, along with q. 20 min oral sips of tracer doses of L-[1-13C]glutamine in the fasting state, either 1) at baseline (control group; n = 6) or 2) after a 6-day course of 0.8 mg∙kg-1∙day-1 prednisone (prednisone group; n = 8). Leucine and glutamine appearance rates (Ra) were determined from plasma [1-14C]ketoisocaproate and [2H5]glutamine, respectively, and leucine and glutamine oxidation from breath 14CO2 and 13CO2, respectively. Splanchnic glutamine extraction was estimated by the fraction of orally administered [13C]glutamine that failed to appear into systemic blood. Prednisone treatment 1) did not affect leucine Ra or leucine oxidation; 2) increased plasma glutamine Ra, mostly owing to enhanced glutamine de novo synthesis (medians ± interquartiles, 412 ± 61 vs. 280 ± 190 μmol∙kg-1∙h-1, P = 0.003); and 3) increased the fraction of orally administered glutamine undergoing extraction in the splanchnic territory (means ± SE 64 ± 6 vs. 42 ± 12%, P < 0.05), without any change in the fraction of glutamine oxidized (means ± SE, 75 ± 4 vs. 77 ± 4%, not significant). We conclude that high-dose glucocorticosteroids increase in splanchnic bed the glutamine requirements. The role of such changes in patients receiving chronic corticoid treatment for inflammatory diseases or suffering from severe illness remains to be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Little is known about emerging demands for food safety among consumers in developing countries. This study presents results of an investigation of consumer awareness, willingness to pay, and price premiums for milk products manufactured using Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) management, a quality management system used to reduce food safety risks. Chinese food processors initially sought HACCP certification to access export markets, but now HACCP is rapidly being adopted for domestic products and HACCP logos have begun to appear on labels in China. A survey of Beijing consumers found that less than one in five respondents was aware of HACCP, and most who had heard of HACCP had learned about it within the previous year. After receiving information on HACCP nearly all respondents were willing to pay a modest price premium for HACCP-certified products. Products with HACCP labels in Beijing supermarkets sold at a price premium of about 5% over products without such labels, holding other product attributes constant. The results indicate that demand for food safety is emerging as an attribute demanded by Chinese consumers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This paper considers growth models including one based on Baranyi''s equations for growth and the other based on the logistic function. Using a common approach for constructing dynamic models for predicting Clostridium perfringens growth in ready-to-eat uncured beef during cooling, there was no appreciable difference between the models’ predictions when the population of cells was within the lag or exponential phases of growth. The developed models can be used for designing safe cooling processes; however, the discrepancies between predicted and observed growths obtained in this study, together with discrepancies reported in other papers using the same, or similar methodology as used in this paper, point to a possible inadequacy of the derived models. In particular, the appropriateness of the methodology depends on the appropriateness of using estimated growth kinetics obtained from experiments conducted in isothermal environments for determining coefficients of differential equations that are used for predicting growth in constantly changing (dynamic) environments. The coefficients are interpreted as instantaneous specific rates of change that are independent of prior history. However, there is no known scientific reason that would imply the truth of this assumption. Incorporating a different, less restrictive assumption, allowing for a dependency on the prior history of cells for these kinetic parameters, might lead to models that provide more accurate estimates of growth. For example, a cooling scenario of 54.4–27°C in 1.5h, the average predicted and observed log10 relative growths were 1.1log10 and 0.66log10, respectively, a difference of 0.44log10, whereas, when assuming a particular dependency of history, the predicted value was 0.8log10. More research is needed to characterize the behavior of growth kinetic parameters relative to prior history in dynamic environments. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Virtually every mammalian cell, including cardiomyocytes, possesses an intrinsic circadian clock. The role of this transcriptionally based molecular mechanism in cardiovascular biology is poorly understood. We hypothesized that the circadian clock within the cardiomyocyte influences diurnal variations in myocardial biology. We, therefore, generated a cardiomyocyte-specific circadian clock mutant (CCM) mouse to test this hypothesis. At 12 wk of age, CCM mice exhibit normal myocardial contractile function in vivo, as assessed by echocardiography. Radiotelemetry studies reveal attenuation of heart rate diurnal variations and bradycardia in CCM mice (in the absence of conduction system abnormalities). Reduced heart rate persisted in CCM hearts perfused ex vivo in the working mode, highlighting the intrinsic nature of this phenotype. Wild-type, but not CCM, hearts exhibited a marked diurnal variation in responsiveness to an elevation in workload (80 mmHg plus 1 μM epinephrine) ex vivo, with a greater increase in cardiac power and efficiency during the dark (active) phase vs. the light (inactive) phase. Moreover, myocardial oxygen consumption and fatty acid oxidation rates were increased, whereas cardiac efficiency was decreased, in CCM hearts. These observations were associated with no alterations in mitochondrial content or structure and modest mitochondrial dysfunction in CCM hearts. Gene expression microarray analysis identified 548 and 176 genes in atria and ventricles, respectively, whose normal diurnal expression patterns were altered in CCM mice. These studies suggest that the cardiomyocyte circadian clock influences myocardial contractile function, metabolism, and gene expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vegetation growth models are used with remotely sensed and meteorological data to monitor terrestrial carbon dynamics at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Many of these models are based on a light-use efficiency equation and two-component model of whole-plant growth and maintenance respiration that have been parameterized for distinct vegetation types and biomes. This study was designed to assess the robustness of these parameters for predicting interannual plant growth and carbon exchange, and more specifically to address inconsistencies that may arise during forest disturbances and the loss of canopy foliage. A model based on the MODIS MOD17 algorithm was parameterized for a mature upland hardwood forest by inverting CO2 flux tower observations during years when the canopy was not disturbed. This model was used to make predictions during a year when the canopy was 37% defoliated by forest tent caterpillars. Predictions improved after algorithms were modified to scale for the effects of diffuse radiation and loss of leaf area. Photosynthesis and respiration model parameters were found to be robust at daily and annual time scales regardless of canopy disturbance, and differences between modeled net ecosystem production and tower net ecosystem exchange were only approximately 2 g C m−2 d−1 and less than 23 g C m−2 y−1. Canopy disturbance events such as insect defoliations are common in temperate forests of North America, and failure to account for cyclical outbreaks of forest tent caterpillars in this stand could add an uncertainty of approximately 4–13% in long-term predictions of carbon sequestration.

AB  - Abstract: Drought can negatively impact pod production despite the fact that cacao production usually occurs in tropical areas having high rainfall. Polyamines (PAs) have been associated with the response of plants to drought in addition to their roles in responses to many other stresses. The constitutive and drought inducible expression patterns of genes encoding enzymes involved in PA biosynthesis were determined: an ornithine decarboxylase (TcODC), an arginine decarboxylase (TcADC), an S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (TcSAMDC), a spermidine synthase (TcSPDS), and a spermine synthase (TcSPMS). Expression analysis using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (QPCR) results showed that the PA biosynthesis genes were expressed in all plant tissues examined. Constitutive expression of PA biosynthesis genes was generally highest in mature leaves and open flowers. Expression of TcODC, TcADC, and TcSAMDC was induced with the onset of drought and correlated with changes in stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, photosystem II efficiency, leaf water potential and altered emission of blue-green fluorescence from cacao leaves. Induction of TcSAMDC in leaves was most closely correlated with changes in water potential. The earliest measured responses to drought were enhanced expression of TcADC and TcSAMDC in roots along with decreases in stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and photosystem II efficiency. Elevated levels of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine were detected in cacao leaves 13days after the onset of drought. Expression of all five PA associated transcripts was enhanced (1.5–3-fold) in response to treatment with abscisic acid. TcODC and TcADC, were also responsive to mechanical wounding, infection by Phytophthora megakarya (a causal agent of black pod disease in cacao), the necrosis- and ethylene-inducing protein (Nep1) of Fusarium oxysporum, and flower abscission. TcSAMDC expression was responsive to all stresses except flower abscission. TcODC, although constitutively expressed at much lower levels than TcADC, TcSAMDC, TcSPDS, and TcSPMS, was highly inducible by the fungal protein Nep1 (135-fold) and the cacao pathogen Phytophthora megakarya (671-fold). The full length cDNA for ODC was cloned and characterized. Among the genes studied, TcODC, TcADC, and TcSAMDC were most sensitive to induction by drought in addition to other abiotic and biotic stresses. TcODC, TcADC, and TcSAMDC may share signal transduction pathways and/or the stress induced signal induction pathways may converge at these three genes leading to similar although not identical patterns of expression. It is possible altering PA levels in cacao will result in enhanced tolerance to multiple stresses including drought and disease as has been demonstrated in other crops. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) promotes synthesis and release of sex pheromones in moths. We have identified and functionally expressed a PBAN receptor from Heliothis virescens (HevPBANR) and elucidated structure–activity relationships of PBAN analogs. Screening of a larval CNS cDNA library revealed three putative receptor subtypes and nucleotide sequence comparisons suggest that they are produced through alternative splicing at the 3′-end. RT-PCR amplified preferentially HevPBANR-C from female pheromone glands. CHO cells expressing HevPBANR-C are highly sensitive to PBAN and related analogs, especially those sharing the C-terminal pentapeptide core, FXPRLamide (X=T, S or V). Alanine replacements in the C-terminal hexapeptide (YFTPRLamide) revealed the relative importance of each residue in the active core as follows: R5 >L6 >F2 ≫P4 >T3 ≫Y1. This study provides a framework for the rational design of PBANR-specific agonists and/or antagonists that could be exploited for disruption of reproductive function in agriculturally important insect pests.

AB  - Abstract: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEISS) have been used to study the effects of various surface preparations and thermal treatments on the composition of the near-surface region (∼7 atomic layers) and the topmost atomic layer of a polycrystalline Pd70Cu30 alloy. Palladium enrichment (relative to the bulk composition) is observed in the XPS-accessible near-surface region, but copper enrichment is observed in the topmost atomic layer. At temperatures above ∼800K, where the bulk, the near-surface region and the topmost atomic layer are likely in thermodynamic equilibrium, segregation to the top layer can be described in terms of a simple thermodynamic model. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of H2 and CO from the annealed surfaces illustrates the impact of segregation and atomic distribution in the top layer on surface chemical activity.

AB  - Objectives. High rates of overweight and obesity among low-income children have led some to question whether participation in US domestic food assistance programs contributes to this health problem. We use multiple years of data to examine trends in children's body weight and participation in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) or Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Specifically, we assess whether a consistent relationship between program participation and body weight exists over time. Methods. Data from multiple waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) are used to examine the relationship between children's body weight and food assistance programs between 1976 and 2002. Linear regression models are used to estimate BMI and logit models are used to predict the probabilities of at-risk of overweight and overweight. Food assistance program participants (either FSP or WIC participants depending on age) are compared with income eligible non-participants and higher income children. Results. Results show no systematic relationship over time between FSP participation and weight status for school-aged children (age 5-17). For children aged 2-4, no differences in weight status between WIC participants and eligible non-participants were found. However, recent data show some differences between WIC participants and higher income children. Conclusions. Our analysis does not find evidence of a consistent relationship between childhood obesity and participation in the FSP or WIC programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) was used to systematically investigate the impact of solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on the soybean leaf proteome. In order to investigate the protective role of flavonoids against UV-B, two isolines of the Clark cultivar (the standard line with moderate levels of flavonoids and the magenta line with reduced flavonoids) were grown in the field with or without natural levels of UV-B. The 12-day-old first trifoliates were harvested for proteomic analysis. More than 300 protein spots were reproducibly resolved and detected on each gel. Statistical analysis showed that 67 protein spots were significantly (P <0.05) affected by solar UV-B. Many more spots were altered by UV-B in the magenta line than in the standard line. Another 12 protein spots were not altered by UV-B but showed significantly (P <0.05) different accumulations between the two lines, and for most spots the line-specific differences were also observed under UV-B exclusion. Most of the differentially accumulated spots were identified by mass spectrometry. The proteins were quite diverse, and were involved in metabolism, energy, protein destination/storage, protein synthesis, disease/defense, transcription, and secondary metabolism. The results suggest that high levels of flavonoids lead to a reduction in UV-B sensitivity at the proteomic level. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Water availability represents a growing concern for meeting future power generation needs. In the United States, projected population growth rates, energy consumption patterns, and demand from competing water use sectors will increase pressure on power generators to reduce water use. Water availability and use also exhibit strong regional variations, complicating the nature of public policy and technological response. The US Department of Energy''s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is engaged in a research and development (R&D) program to reduce freshwater withdrawal (total quantity of water utilized) and consumption (portion of withdrawal not returned to the source) from existing and future thermoelectric power generating facilities. The Innovations for Existing Plants (IEP) Program is currently developing technologies in 5 categories of water management projects to reduce water use while minimizing the impacts of plant operations on water quality. This paper outlines the freshwater withdrawal and consumption rates for various thermoelectric power generating types and then estimates the potential benefits of IEP program technologies at both the national and regional levels in the year 2030. NETL is working to protect and conserve water resources while leveraging domestic fossil fuel resources, such as coal, to increase national energy security. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Identification of a candidate gene for the wheat endopeptidase Ep-D1 locus and two other STS markers linked to the eyespot resistance gene Pch1.

AB  - Wheat is prone to strawbreaker foot rot (eyespot), a fungal disease caused by Oculimacula yallundae and O. acuformis. The most effective source of genetic resistance is Pch1, a gene derived from Aegilops ventricosa. The endopeptidase isozyme marker allele Ep-D1b, linked to Pch1, has been shown to be more effective for tracking resistance than DNA-based markers developed to date. Therefore, we sought to identify a candidate gene for Ep-D1 as a basis for a DNA-based marker. Comparative mapping suggested that the endopeptidase loci Ep-D1 (wheat), e np1 (maize), and Enp (rice) were orthologous. Since the product of the maize endopeptidase locus enp1 has been shown to exhibit biochemical properties similar to oligopeptidase B purified from E. coli, we reasoned that Ep- D1 may also encode an oligopeptidase B. Consistent with this hypothesis, a sequence-tagged-site (STS) marker, Xorw1, derived from an oligopeptidase B-encoding wheat expressed-sequence-tag (EST) showed complete linkage with Ep- D1 and Pch1 in a population of 254 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between wheat cultivars Coda and Brundage. Two other STS markers, Xorw5 and Xorw6, and three microsatellite markers ( Xwmc14, Xbarc97, and Xcfd175) were also completely linked to Pch1. On the other hand, Xwmc14, Xbarc97, and Xcfd175 showed recombination in the W7984 × Opata85 RIL population suggesting that recombination near Pch1 is reduced in the Coda/Brundage population. In a panel of 44 wheat varieties with known eyespot reactions, Xorw1, Xorw5, and Xorw6 were 100% accurate in predicting the presence or absence of Pch1 whereas Xwmc14, Xbarc97, and Xcfd175 were less effective. Thus, linkage mapping and a germplasm survey suggest that the STS markers identified here should be useful for indirect selection of Pch1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The interaction between apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) m265 genotype and saturated fat for obesity traits has been more extensively demonstrated than for any other locus, but behavioural and hormonal mechanisms underlying this relationship are unexplored. In this study, we evaluated relationships between APOA2 and obesity risk with particular focus on patterns of eating and ghrelin, a hormonal regulator of food intake.Design: Cross-sectional study.Subjects: Overweight and obese subjects (n=1225) were evaluated at baseline in five weight loss clinics in southeastern Spain.Methods: Behavioural data were assessed using a checklist of weight loss obstacles. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the risk of a specific behaviour associated with APOA2 genotype. Relationships between APOA2 genotype and saturated fat intakes for anthropometric traits and plasma ghrelin were evaluated by analysis of variance. To construct categorical variables to evaluate interactions, saturated fat intake was dichotomized into high and low according to the population median intake or as tertiles.Results: Homozygous minor (CC) subjects were more likely to exhibit behaviours that impede weight loss ('Do you skip meals', odds ratio (OR)=2.09, P=0.008) and less likely to exhibit the protective behaviour of 'Do you plan meals in advance' (OR=0.64, P=0.034). Plasma ghrelin for CC subjects consuming low saturated fat was lower compared with (1) CC subjects consuming high saturated fat, (2) TT+TC carriers consuming low saturated fat and (3) TT+TC carriers consuming high saturated fat (all P<0.05).Conclusions: APOA2 m265 genotype may be associated with eating behaviours and dietary modulation of plasma ghrelin. Expansion of knowledge of APOA2 and obesity to include modulation of specific behaviours and hormonal mediators not only broadens understanding of gene-diet interactions, but also facilitates the pragmatic, future goal of developing dietary guidelines based on genotype.

AB  - The freshwater cnidarian Hydra was first described in 1702 and has been the object of study for 300 years. Experimental studies of Hydra between 1736 and 1744 culminated in the discovery of asexual reproduction of an animal by budding, the first description of regeneration in an animal, and successful transplantation of tissue between animals. Today, Hydra is an important model for studies of axial patterning, stem cell biology and regeneration. Here we report the genome of Hydra magnipapillata and compare it to the genomes of the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis and other animals. The Hydra genome has been shaped by bursts of transposable element expansion, horizontal gene transfer, trans-splicing, and simplification of gene structure and gene content that parallel simplification of the Hydra life cycle. We also report the sequence of the genome of a novel bacterium stably associated with H. magnipapillata. Comparisons of the Hydra genome to the genomes of other animals shed light on the evolution of epithelia, contractile tissues, developmentally regulated transcription factors, the Spemann–Mangold organizer, pluripotency genes and the neuromuscular junction.

AB  - One of the central predictions of metric theories of gravity, such as general relativity, is that a clock in a gravitational potential U will run more slowly by a factor of 1 + U/c2, where c is the velocity of light, as compared to a similar clock outside the potential. This effect, known as gravitational redshift, is important to the operation of the global positioning system, timekeeping and future experiments with ultra-precise, space-based clocks (such as searches for variations in fundamental constants). The gravitational redshift has been measured using clocks on a tower, an aircraft and a rocket, currently reaching an accuracy of 7 × 10-5. Here we show that laboratory experiments based on quantum interference of atoms enable a much more precise measurement, yielding an accuracy of 7 × 10-9. Our result supports the view that gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, an underlying principle of general relativity that has come under scrutiny in connection with the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Improving the redshift measurement is particularly important because this test has been the least accurate among the experiments that are required to support curved space-time theories.

AB  - We use microsatellite loci to examine genetic structure of the Florida scrub lizard (Sceloporus woodi) and test for the effects of landscape variables at the scale of neighboring patches. We evaluate ecological metrics of connectivity with genetics data, which to our knowledge is the first application of these particular metrics to landscape- level genetics studies in Florida scrub. Florida scrub is a highly threatened ecosystem in which habitat patches are remnants of a previously widespread xeric landscape. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has shown that landscape structure influenced the evolutionary history of the Florida scrub lizard (S. woodi) across its range. Our results concur with these mtDNA studies in documenting divergence between xeric ridge systems and also demonstrate divergence at very local scales. Both least-cost distance and pairwise isolation (a metric used in ecological studies that includes patch size, quality and a modified isolation index) were better predictors of genetic distance than Euclidean distance, indicating that mesic and hydric habitat influence spatial patterns in genetic variation. Our results support the need for focusing on spatial distribution of scrub habitat at the scale of neighboring patches, as well as regionally, in conservation management and restoration. Also, our study points to the value of integrating landscape ecology metrics into landscape genetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Two terpene-degrading bacteria able to transform (+/−)-geosmin have been identified. Pseudomonas sp. SBR3-tpnb, following growth on γ-terpinene, converts (+/−)-geosmin to several products; the major products are ketogeosmins. Rhodococcus wratislaviensis DLC-cam, isolated on d-camphor, also converts (+/−)-geosmin to several oxidation products, primarily ketogeosmins identical to those produced by strain SBR3-tpnb as well as hydroxygeosmins. This conversion appears to be inducible by (+/−)-geosmin and not by d-camphor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the United States, the federal government and several state governments are formulating or implementing policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gases emissions. In April 2009, the State of California adopted the Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), a groundbreaking policy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. This paper reviews the major elements of a LCFS, focusing on California's implementation, and discusses the key open issues of a LCFS. This paper also summarizes the major elements of the cap-and-trade and carbon tax concepts, the two principal alternative approaches to regulating greenhouse gases emissions. Analytical issues associated with the LCFS are highlighted, including land-use change effects associated with certain biofuels. If electricity becomes a significant transportation fuel, a number of regulatory issues will need to be addressed. Beyond California, the LCFS approach appears to be favored by several other US states and the European Union. A Hydrogen-Success scenario example illustrates the key features of a national LCFS following California's model. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Results from long-term experimental trials suggest that similar yields and lower costs are possible with organic compared to conventional soybeans, but there is little information about the relative costs and returns of these systems on commercial farms. This study examines the profitability of commercial soybean production using a nationwide survey of soybean producers for 2006 that includes a targeted sample of organic growers. Treatment-effect models are specified to characterize adopters of the organic approach and to isolate the impact of organic choice on operating, operating and capital, and total economic costs of soybean production. Organic soybean producers tend to be younger, have less crop acreage, and are less likely to work off-farm than conventional producers. Organic soybean production costs range from about $1 to $6 per bushel higher than those for conventional soybeans due to both lower yields and higher per-acre costs, while the average organic price premium in 2006 was more than $9 per bushel. Long-term cropping systems data suggest significant returns to organic systems result from similar yields and lower costs than conventional systems, but the high returns to commercial organic production found in this study can only be attributed to the significant price premiums paid for organic soybeans. Average organic soybean price premiums have remained high since 2006 despite much higher conventional soybean prices as users of organic soybeans attempt to retain and attract more acreage. However, increases in conventional soybean prices and fuel prices reduce the incentive for planting organic soybeans by improving returns to conventional production and increasing the relative costs of organic production.

AB  - To investigate the interactive effects of increasing [CO2] and heat wave occurrence on isoprene (IE) and methanol (ME) emissions, Platanus orientalis was grown for one month in ambient (380 μmol mol−1) or elevated (800 μmol mol−1) [CO2] and exposed to high temperature (HT) (38 °C/4 h). In pre-existing leaves, IE emissions were always higher but ME emissions lower as compared to newly-emerged leaves. They were both stimulated by HT. Elevated [CO2] significantly reduced IE in both leaf types, whereas it increased ME in newly-emerged leaves only. In newly-emerged leaves, elevated [CO2] decreased photosynthesis and altered the chloroplast ultrastructure and membrane integrity. These harmful effects were amplified by HT. HT did not cause any unfavorable effects in pre-existing leaves, which were characterized by inherently higher IE rates. We conclude that: (1) these results further prove the isoprene''s putative thermo-protective role of membranes; (2) HT may likely outweigh the inhibitory effects of elevated [CO2] on IE in the future.

AB  - In contrast to protein-coding sequences, the significance of variation in non-coding DNA in human disease has been minimally explored. A great number of recent genome-wide association studies suggest that non-coding variation is a significant risk factor for common disorders, but the mechanisms by which this variation contributes to disease remain largely obscure. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers — a major category of functional non-coding DNA — are involved in many developmental and disease-relevant processes. Genome-wide approaches to their discovery and functional characterization are now available and provide a growing knowledge base for the systematic exploration of their role in human biology and disease susceptibility.

AB  - Using actual retail purchases from the 2006 Nielsen Homescan panel data, we estimate a hedonic model on price premiums and discounts associated with household characteristics, market factors, and product attributes focusing on the organic attribute for fluid milk. The organic attribute carries a significant price premium, which is largest of all product attributes considered in this study. Further, additional price variations among organic milk are observed for differences in fat content, container size and branding. Specifically, the results suggest that organic price premiums for half-gallon milk range from $1.23 for whole private label organic milk (60-68% above conventional counterpart) to $1.86 for nonfat/skim-branded organic milk (89-109% above conventional counterpart). The study also found that milk sold in a discount store (i.e., supercenter or club warehouse) was price 13 cents per half gallon, or 7.4%, below milk sold through other venues, and that milk on sale was priced 26 cents per half gallon, or 14.3%, less than the regular average price. Although household characteristics exert little influence on price relative to product attributes and market factors, the study does find that unmarried households and those with children under six pay slightly higher prices for milk, possibly due to time constraints.

AB  - Abstract  The effect of two chemical elicitors, salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate, on the production of gossypol, 6-methoxygossypol, and 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol in Gossypium barbadense hairy roots was examined. Methyl jasmonate, but not salicylic acid, was found to increase the production of gossypol and its methylated forms, but with a concomitant reduction in culture growth. The optimal methyl jasmonate dose was between 100 and 300 μM for hairy roots harvested 7 days after elicitation. After 20 d of induction with 100 μM methyl jasmonate, an eightfold increase in the level of gossypol was observed in elicited cultures compared with control cultures, double the highest gossypol levels previously reported for any cotton tissue. A two to threefold increase in the level of 6-methoxygossypol and a slight increase in the levels of 6,6′-dimethoxygossypol were also observed. Although methyl jasmonate stimulated the production of both optical forms of gossypol, the distribution of the enantiomers was different between elicited and control cultures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Models of wildland fire-induced stem heating and tissue necrosis require accurate estimates of inward heat flux at the bark surface. Thermocouple probes or heat flux sensors placed at a stem surface do not mimic the thermal response of tree bark to flames. We show that data from thin thermocouple probes inserted just below the bark can be used, by means of a one-dimensional inverse heat conduction method, to estimate net heat flux (inward minus outward heat flow) and temperature at the bark surface. Further, we estimate outward heat flux from emitted water vapor and bark surface re-radiation. Estimates of surface heat flux and temperature made by the inverse method confirm that surface-mounted heat flux sensors and thermocouple probes overestimate surface heat flux and temperature. As a demonstration of the utility of the method, we characterized uneven stem heating, due to leeward, flame-driven vortices, in a prescribed surface fire. Advantages of using an inverse method include lower cost, ease of multipoint measurements and negligible effects on the target stem. Drawbacks of the simple inverse model described herein include inability to estimate heat flux in very moist bark and uncertainty in estimates when extensive charring occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the United States alone, over 7400 bird-aircraft collisions (birdstrikes) were reported in 2007. Most of these strikes occurred during takeoff or landing of the flight, and it is during these flight phases that aircraft experience their highest risk of substantial damage after colliding with birds. Birdstrikes carry enormous potential costs in terms of lives and money. Using feather remains and other tissue samples collected from the engines of US Airways Flight 1549, which crash landed in the Hudson River in New York City on 15 January 2009 after a birdstrike, we apply molecular tools and stable hydrogen isotopes to demonstrate that migratory Canada geese were responsible for the crash. Determining whether the geese involved in this birdstnke event were resident or migratory is essential to the development of management techniques that could reduce the risk of future collisions. Currently, the US civil aviation industry is not required to report birdstrikes, yet information on frequency, timing, and species involved, as well as the geographic origin of the birds, is critical to reducing the number of birdstnkes. Integrating this information with bird migration patterns, bird- detecting radar, and bird dispersal programs at airports can minimize the risk of such collisions in the future.

AB  - Appropriate use of satellite data in predicting >1 year post-fire effects requires remote measurement of surface properties that can be mechanistically related to ground measures of post-fire condition. The present study of burned ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in the Black Hills of South Dakota evaluates whether immediate fractional cover estimates of char, green vegetation and brown (non-photosynthetic) vegetation within a pixel are improved predictors of 1-year post-fire field measures, when compared with single-date and differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR and dNB R) indices. The modeled estimate of immediate char fraction either equaled or outperformed all other immediate metrics in predicting 1-year post-fire effects. Brown cover fraction was a poor predictor of all effects (r2 <0.30), and each remote measure produced only poor predictions of crown scorch (r2 <0.20). Application of dNBR (1 year post) provided a considerable increase in regression performance for predicting tree survival. Immediate post-fire NBR or dNBR produced only marginal differences in predictions of all the 1-year post-fire effects, perhaps limiting the need for prefire imagery. Although further research is clearly warranted to evaluate fire effects data available 2-20 years after fire, char and green vegetation fractions may be viable alternatives to dNBR and similar indices to predict longer-term post-fire ecological effects.

AB  - Abstract: Public conservation forestlands protect natural resources, provide wildlife habitat, and service a multi-billion dollar recreation industry. Invasive upland plants (IPs) threaten to dramatically reduce the flow of goods and services from these lands. In the late 1990s, a Florida (USA) state program began combating IPs on public conservation lands. By 2007, the program had controlled roughly 1/3 of the 1.5 million IP-infested acres, primarily due to a surge in expenditures that began in 2001 and peaked in 2005. This study evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the program by simulating the costs and benefits of IP control through 2016 under five feasible policy alternatives: (I) Do nothing, (II) Maintenance control, (III) 2001–2004 level (of program spending), (IV) 2005 level, and (V) Maximum net present value. To evaluate the policies, we construct a bio-economic model that is parameterized using observations of IP coverage and data from 11 state regions. Given the uncertain nature of IP spread, we simulate the policies'' economic impacts under two plausible spread rates. Simulation results indicate that the program''s recent efforts are highly effective – generating up to $865.1 million in present value net benefits through 2016 – but less efficient than more costly, front-loaded spending that can generate up to 4.37 times more net benefits.

AB  - Interest in organic grain production is increasing in the United States but there is limited information regarding the economic performance of organic grain and forage production in the mid-Atlantic region. We present the results from enterprise budget analyses for individual crops and for complete rotations with and without organic price premiums for five cropping systems at the US Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) Beltsville Farming Systems Project (FSP) from 2000 to 2005. The FSP is a long-term cropping systems trial established in 1996 to evaluate the sustainability of organic and conventional grain crop production. The five FSP cropping systems include a conventional, three-year no-till corn (Zea mays L.)-rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop/soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/soybean rotation (no-till (NT)), a conventional, three-year chisel-till corn-rye/soybean-wheat/soybean rotation (chisel tillage (CT)), a two-year organic hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)/corn-rye/soybean rotation (Org2), a three-year organic vetch/corn-rye/soybean-wheat rotation (Org3) and a four- to six-year organic corn-rye/soybean-wheat-red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)/orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) or alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) rotation (Org4 + ). Economic returns were calculated for rotations present from 2000 to 2005, which included some slight changes in crop rotation sequences due to weather conditions and management changes; additional analyses were conducted for 2000 to 2002 when all crops described above were present in all organic rotations. Production costs were, in general, greatest for CT, while those for the organic systems were lower than or similar to those for NT for all crops. Present value of net returns for individual crops and for full rotations were greater and risks were lower for NT than for CT. When price premiums for organic crops were included in the analysis, cumulative present value of net returns for organic systems (US$3933 to 5446 ha-1, 2000 to 2005; US$2653 to 2869 ha-1, 2000 to 2002) were always substantially greater than for the conventional systems (US$1309 to 1909 ha-1, 2000 to 2005; US$634 to 869 ha-1, 2000 to 2002). With price premiums, Org2 had greater net returns but also greater variability of returns and economic risk across all years than all other systems, primarily because economic success of this short rotation was highly dependent on the success of soybean, the crop with the highest returns. Soybean yield variability was high due to the impact of weather on the success of weed control in the organic systems. The longer, more diverse Org4 + rotation had the lowest variability of returns among organic systems and lower economic risk than Org2. With no organic price premiums, economic returns for corn and soybean in the organic systems were generally lower than those for the conventional systems due to lower grain yields in the organic systems.… [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of processing (homogenization, lyophilization, acid-extraction) meat products on iron uptake from meat combined with uncooked iron-fortified cereal was evaluated using an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model. Beef was cooked, blended to create smaller meat particles, and combined with electrolytic iron-fortified infant rice cereal. Chicken liver was cooked and blended, lyophilized, or acid-extracted, and combined with FeSO4-fortified wheat flour. In the beef–cereal combination, Caco-2 cell iron uptake, assessed by measuring the ferritin formed by cells, was greater when the beef was blended for the greatest amount of time (360 s) compared with 30 s (P < 0·05). Smaller liver particles (blended for 360 s or lyophilized) significantly enhanced iron uptake compared to liver blended for 60 s (P < 0·001) in the liver–flour combination. Compared to liver blended for 60 s, acid-extraction of liver significantly enhanced iron uptake (P = 0·03) in the liver–flour combination. Homogenization of beef and homogenization, lyophilization, or acid-extraction of chicken liver increases the enhancing effect of meat products on iron absorption in iron-fortified cereals.

AB  - New and emerging lighting technologies such as LEDs (light-emitting diodes) can improve lighting quality while reducing maintenance and energy costs. The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), with support from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (operated for DOE by Battelle Memorial Institute), demonstrated the use of LED lighting in a large freezer storage room and fiber optic lighting in a series of vertical reach-in display freezer cases at the Fort George G. Meade Commissary. The LEDs reduced lighting energy use by 85 percent and reduced maintenance requirements. The fiber optic lighting system reduced lighting energy use by 56 percent.

AB  - We examined the impacts of post-fire salvage logging on regeneration, fuel accumulation, and understorey vegetation and assessed whether the effects of salvage logging differed between stands burned under moderate and high fire severity following the 2000 Jasper Fire in the Black Hills. In unsalvaged sites, fire-related tree mortality created a large standing pool of available fuel, resulting in a rapid increase in surface fuel loads. After 5 years, fine woody debris (FWD) and coarse woody debris (CWD) increased ~1380% and 980% in unsalvaged sites, resulting in FWD and CWD loads of 13 and 25 Mg ha-1, respectively. In contrast, salvage logging limited the rate of accumulation of FWD to ~ 110% over the same time period and total accumulation of CWD to 16 Mg ha-1. In moderate-severity sites, regeneration was 75% lower in salvaged sites owing to low seed-tree retention, suggesting a re-evaluation of salvage guidelines during future operations in the Black Hills. The likelihood of timely regeneration in high-severity sites, regardless of salvage treatment, is low. We found no discernible effect of salvage logging on understorey development 5 years after fire. Logging caused neither a reduction in total plant cover nor an increase in the abundance of exotic species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The risk of introduction of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) to new, unaffected citrus producing areas is a major concern for those citrus industries attempting to remain free of citrus canker. Citrus fruit, as a potential pathway for Xcc to enter and become established in these areas, are assumed to be a risk. However, there is little information relative to the potential of harvested fruit to act as an inoculum source. A multi-national research team was established to investigate the potential of bacterial survival in infected citrus fruit lesions and as surface contaminants on symptom-free fruit, and to examine the potential of infected fruit as a viable inoculum source. Experiments were conducted in various locations in Florida and Argentina. Bacterial recovery and culture plating were problematic due to the presence of non-pathogenic bacteria with cultural characteristics that were difficult to distinguish from Xcc. Therefore, in all experiments, although culturing on semi-selective agar media was used as an indication of overall bacterial populations, bioassays were conducted via needleless injection and infiltration of suspect bacterial suspensions into susceptible cv. Duncan grapefruit leaves. Inoculation sites were subsequently assessed for symptoms of citrus canker and lesions were individually enumerated to confirm the presence of Xcc. In commercial packing lines in Florida and northwest Argentina, prewashing the fruit to remove dirt and debris reduced surface bacterial populations. As anticipated, recovery of Xcc from fruit surfaces increased when active citrus canker lesions were present but total bacterial recovery decreased after processing, and bioassays demonstrated that the quantity of viable Xcc declined as fruit remained in cold storage, or as they aged on the trees. Bioassays demonstrated that the highest incidence of Xcc from fruit after the packing line antimicrobial treatment occurred with symptomatic fruit (2.5–50.6lesionsleaf−1), and zero to very low levels with fruit from apparently healthy trees (0–1.74lesionsleaf−1). Furthermore, the proportion of injection–infiltration bioassay sites that developed lesions consistently decreased with time after processing in each of the three packinghouse studies, also showing that as fruit senesce and lesions age the ability of fruit to generate or sustain Xcc bacteria was increasingly compromised. The packing line process reduced canker lesion activity by as much as 50% compared to unprocessed fruit. Xcc survived in wounds on mature fruit attached to the tree, but Xcc populations declined in wounds of processed or non-processed harvested fruit. Discarded canker-infected fruit in cull piles was ineffective as a source of inoculum for dispersal. Transmission from cull piles of packing line-processed fruit to surrounding trap plants, even less than 1m away, did not occur under natural conditions. However, with severely infected piles of culled fruit subject to extreme simulated wind (25ms−1) and rain conditions, only a single lesion, associated with leaf injury, developed on a trap plant immediately downwind of the cull pile, suggesting an exceedingly low risk of spread. Taken as a group, this series of experiments demonstrate that harvested and packinghouse-disinfested citrus fruit are extremely unlikely to be a pathway for Xcc to reach and infect susceptible citrus and become established in canker-free areas.

AB  - The perceived realism of simulated maps with contagion (spatial autocorrelation) has led to their use for comparing landscape pattern metrics and as habitat maps for modeling organism movement across landscapes. The objective of this study was to conduct a neutral model analysis of pattern metrics defined by morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) on maps with contagion, with comparisons to phase transitions (abrupt changes) of patterns on simple random maps. Using MSPA, each focal class pixel on a neutral map was assigned to one of six pattern classes-core, edge, perforated, connector, branch, or islet-depending on MSPA rules for connectivity and edge width. As the density of the focal class (P) was increased on simple random maps, the proportions of pixels in different pattern classes exhibited two types of phase transitions at threshold densities (0.41 B P B 0.99) that were predicted by percolation theory after taking into account the MSPA rules for connectivity and edge width. While there was no evidence of phase transitions on maps with contagion, the general trends of pattern metrics in relation to P were similar to simple random maps. Using an index P for comparisons, the effect of increasing contagion was opposite that of increasing edge width. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Contrary findings are often found among epidemiological studies examining associations of different types of airborne particulates against the same health endpoints. Some studies of heart rate variability (HRV) in humans find associations with either regional particulate material 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) and/or with “sulfate” while some do not; some find associations with more local emissions such as black carbon (BC), while others do not. We explore if there might there be a consistent methodological explanation for inconsistent findings among HRV studies. To do this, we identify studies of HRV changes in humans examining associations with ambient PM2.5 and sulfate, ambient PM2.5 and BC, or all three; we briefly review findings and methodologies, including exposure issues; then we explore why studies may come to different conclusions. We tentatively conclude that differences in accuracy of subject exposure information for health-relevant emissions such as BC, which vary spatially over short distances in urban areas, may explain conflicting study results. HRV studies with accurate exposure information for BC or urban/industrial PM2.5 generally find large, significant associations with BC or urban/industrial PM2.5, but rarely with secondary sulfate or regional emissions generally. However, absent accurate exposure information for BC, studies appear more likely to find associations with less spatially variable secondary sulfate or PM2.5, and less likely to find strong associations with BC. However, research on this subject is limited, as are the number of studies evaluated here. Added research is necessary to confirm these findings (or otherwise), and to explore whether exposure misclassification might cause other health effects results to consistently vary.

AB  - Abstract: Methyl bromide controls three major problems in crop production: weeds, nematodes and phytopathogenic fungi. An alternative system was investigated that used various colored plastic mulches with Telone C35 (63.4% 1,3-dichlropropene, 34.7% chloropicrin, 1.9% inert ingredients). This alternative to methyl bromide was to investigate: 1) control weeds through wavelength selective plastic mulches, 2) control fungi by chloropicrin, and 3) control weeds and nematodes by 1,3-dichloropropene. These mulches control weeds by a thickness that prevented weed penetration, especially nutsedges, by retaining phytotoxic fumigant longer, or by allowing infra-red and red light to penetrate through the film while restricting other photo synthetically active wavelengths. Infra-red and red light changed the morphology of nutsedges from a hard plastic-penetrating point to a soft leafy structure that cannot tear the film. The mulches tested were blue virtually impermeable film (VIF), black VIF, black polyethylene film (PE), as well as blue, green, olive, brown, and metalized PE. Conclusions after a two-year study were: 1) that there was no direct correlation between the amount of light transmitted through colored mulch with tomato yield per plant, 2) that the use of fumigation with plastic mulches led to an average increase of 40% in crop yield compared to non-fumigated beds, and 3) finally, that if the grower decided not to use any pesticide, fungicide, or herbicide, then metalized PE mulch would maximize weed control and crop yield.

AB  - The article presents a study that investigates the climate features in large-scale areas affecting the inter-annual hydrologic variability of streams that flow into Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) in Oregon. It notes that developing statistical models for the prediction of spring and summer seasonal streamflow volumes for the lake which are accurate, is difficult due to complex hydrology and high levels of variability in topography and climatology. Large-scale climate indices including the Southern Oscillation Index, Pacific North American Pattern, and the revised Trans-Niño Index (TNI) are evaluated for their ability in explaining inter-annual variability of hydrologic inputs into UKL.

AB  - The fungus, Fusicladosporium effusum (G. Winters) Partridge & Morgan-Jones, causes scab disease in pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch] in the southeastern USA. Infections of the fruit shuck severely reduce nut production and could be minimised with a greater understanding of the ecology of the disease. We investigated the relative impacts of rain and elevation on the incidence of scab, as noted by a decline in nut weight. Data on the suppression of nut growth (weights from sprayed trees - weights from unsprayed trees) due to scab were collected from 18 orchards within ten counties in southern Georgia over 6 years, along with rainfall and elevation data from the National Climatic Data Center. Stepwise multiple regression analyses demonstrated that scab-mediated inhibition of nut growth decreased with elevation, but increased with the maximum rain period in April, June, July, and August (R² = 0.82). Elevation had twice the effect of rain on the reduction in nut growth due to scab. Substituting total days of rain for the maximum rain period in June, June to July, or June to August, did not improve the relationship. Thus, within the June, June to July, or June to August intervals, scab damage was directly proportional to the single, longest wet period in each period and to orchard elevation. Although damage was most severe in June, the rain effect was cumulative and was greatest from June to August. These results demonstrate the importance of elevation for commercial pecan production, and the susceptibility of the nut to wet periods when the fruit are rapidly elongating and expanding. Spores released from scab lesions on young leaves during the Spring can infect fruit over the Summer, indicating the need for applications of fungicide before flowering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - For most ecosystems, net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) varies within and among years in response to environmental change. We analyzed measurements of CO2 exchange from eight native rangeland ecosystems in the western United States (58 site-years of data) in order to determine the contributions of photosynthetic and respiratory (physiological) components of CO2 exchange to environmentally caused variation in NEE. Rangelands included Great Plains grasslands, desert shrubland, desert grasslands, and sagebrush steppe. We predicted that (1) week-to-week change in NEE and among-year variation in the response of NEE to temperature, net radiation, and other environmental drivers would be better explained by change in maximum rates of ecosystem photosynthesis ( Amax) than by change in apparent light-use efficiency ( α) or ecosystem respiration at 10 °C ( R10) and (2) among-year variation in the responses of NEE, Amax, and α to environmental drivers would be explained by changes in leaf area index (LAI). As predicted, NEE was better correlated with Amax than α or R10 for six of the eight rangelands. Week-to-week variation in NEE and physiological parameters correlated mainly with time-lagged indices of precipitation and water-related environmental variables, like potential evapotranspiration, for desert sites and with net radiation and temperature for Great Plains grasslands. For most rangelands, the response of NEE to a given change in temperature, net radiation, or evaporative demand differed among years because the response of photosynthetic parameters ( Amax, α) to environmental drivers differed among years. Differences in photosynthetic responses were not explained by variation in LAI alone. A better understanding of controls on canopy photosynthesis will be required to predict variation in NEE of rangeland ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Evaluation of the viable seeds in a soil, otherwise known as the seed pool or seed bank, is a crucial component of many weed dynamic and plant ecology studies. Seed bank estimation is used to predict the possibility of future weed infestations in rangelands as well as the nascent native plant diversity within them. However, there is no standardized method of reporting seed bank evaluation techniques, limiting the ability to compare across studies. After sowing known quantities of cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum (L.); brome fescue, Vulpia bromoides (L., S.F. Gray); pigweed, Amaranthus retroflexus (L.); kochia, Kochia scoparia (L. Schrad.); lambsquarters, Chenopodium album (L.); and field pepperweed, Lepidium campestre (L. R. Br.) into sterile soil, we compared two different watering regimes in two soil types to Petri plate germination of these seeds. Seed bank estimations from the emergence method were lower compared to estimations from the Petri plate germination. Top-and-bottom watering increased absolute abundance, and the rank order of abundance among species changed with watering method. Emergence levels were the same between the two soil types. The higher water availability of the top-and-bottom watering method resulted in greater seedling emergence (26.3% ± 10% SD vs. 9.1% ± 7.5% SD). Lower emergence compared to germination (62.3% ± 24.4%) may indicate that emergence is an important postgermination barrier to seedling establishment. While emergence techniques may not accurately portray the volume of seeds in the soil, they may more accurately predict which plants can become established in field conditions. Our different species abundances between watering methods show that multiple emergence methods may need to be employed to forecast a range of future rangeland conditions from the soil seed bank.

AB  - La evaluación de semillas viables en el suelo, también conocido como el reservorio o banco de semillas, es un componente crucial de muchos estudios de dinámica de malezas o de ecología vegetal. La estimación del banco de semillas se utiliza para predecir la posibilidad de futuras infestaciones de malezas, así como la diversidad de plantas nativas emergentes. Sin embargo no existe un método estandarizado de informar técnicas de evaluación de bancos de semillas, hecho que limita la habilidad de hacer comparaciones entre ensayos. Luego de sembrar cantidades conocidas de Bromus tectorum (L.), Vulpia bromoides (L., S.F. Gray), Amaranthus retroflexus (L.), Kochia scoparia (L. Schrad.), Chenopodium album (L.), y Lepidium campestre (L. R. Br.) en suelos estériles, comparamos dos regímenes de riego en dos suelos diferentes con la germinación de estas semillas en cápsulas de Petri. Las estimaciones de banco de semillas utilizando el método de emergencia fueron inferiores a las estimaciones de germinación de las cápsulas de Petri. La aplicación de riego superior e inferior produjo un incremento en la abundancia absoluta, y el orden de ranking de abundancia de especies varió con el sistema de riego aplicado. Los niveles de emergencia en los dos tipos de suelo fueron iguales. La disponibilidad de agua más elevada del sistema de riego superior e inferior produjo mayor emergencia de semillas (26.3% ± 10% DE vs. 9.1% ± 7.5% DE). Los valores de emergencia inferiores a los de germinación (62.3% ± 24.4%) podrían indicar que la emergencia es una barrera post-germinación importante para el establecimiento de plántulas. Si bien las técnicas de emergencia posiblemente no reflejen de modo preciso el volumen de semillas en el suelo, podrían predecir con más precisión qué especies podrían establecerse en condiciones de campo. Las diferencias en abundancia de especies entre tratamientos de riego demuestran que múltiples métodos de emergencia podrían ser necesarios para pronosticar el rango de condiciones futuras de un pastizal a partir del banco de semillas.

AB  - Increases in pinyon and juniper woodland cover associated with land-use history are suggested to provide offsets for carbon emissions in arid regions. However, the largest pools of carbon in arid landscapes are typically found in soils, and aboveground biomass cannot be considered long-term storage in fire-prone ecosystems. Also, the objectives of carbon storage may conflict with management for other ecosystem services and fuels reduction. Before appropriate decisions can be made it is necessary to understand the interactions between woodland expansion, management treatments, and carbon retention. We quantified effects of prescribed fire as a fuels reduction and ecosystem maintenance treatment on fuel loads, ecosystem carbon, and nitrogen in a pinyon-juniper woodland in the central Great Basin. We found that plots containing 30% tree cover averaged nearly 40 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in total aboveground biomass, 80 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in ecosystem carbon (C), and 5 000 kg ⋅ ha-1 in ecosystem nitrogen (N). Only 25% of ecosystem C and 5% of ecosystem N resided in aboveground biomass pools. Prescribed burning resulted in a 65% reduction in aboveground biomass, a 68% reduction in aboveground C, and a 78% reduction in aboveground N. No statistically significant change in soil or total ecosystem C or N occurred. Prescribed fire was effective at reducing fuels on the landscape and resulted in losses of C and N from aboveground biomass. However, the immediate and long-term effects of burning on soil and total ecosystem C and N is still unclear. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Incrementos de los bosques de piñón y enebro relacionados con el historial del uso de la tierra se han sugerido como una forma de proveer desvíos de las emisiones de carbón en zonas áridas. Sin embargo, los más grandes reservorios de carbono en zonas áridas se encuentran originalmente en el suelo, y la biomasa aérea no puede considerarse almacenamiento a largo plazo en los ecosistemas que están propensos al fuego. También, los objetivos de almacenamiento del carbono pueden entrar en conflicto con el manejo de los servicios de los ecosistemas y la reducción de combustibles. Antes de que se tomen las decisiones adecuadas es necesario el entender las interacciones entre la expansión del bosque y los tratamientos de manejo, así como la retención de carbón. Cuantificamos los efectos de las quemas prescritas como un tratamiento en la reducción del combustible y el mantenimiento del ecosistema en cargas de combustible, carbono del ecosistema, y nitrógeno en el bosque de piñón-enebro en la gran cuenca central. Encontramos que parcelas que tenían una cubierta arbórea del 30%promediaron casi 40 000 kg ha-1 en total de la biomasa aérea, 80 000 kg ha en C del ecosistema, y 5 000 kg ha de N del ecosistema. Solamente el 25%del C y el 5% el N del ecosistema existe en la biomasa aérea. Las quemas prescritas reducen la biomasa aérea en un 65%, así como el C aéreo en un 68%, y 78% del N de la superficie. No se encontraron cambios estadísticamente significativos en el C oNdel suelo o del ecosistema. Las quemas prescritas fueron efectivas en la reducción del combustible en el paisaje y dieron lugar a las pérdidas de C y N de la biomasa aérea. Sin embargo, los efectos inmediatos y a largo plazo de las quemas del C y N del suelo y del total del ecosistema todavía no son muy claros. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Human exposure models often make the simplifying assumption that school children attend school in the same census tract where they live. This paper analyzes that assumption and provides information on the temporal and spatial distributions associated with school commuting. The data were obtained using Oak Ridge National Laboratory's LandScan USA population distribution model applied to Philadelphia, PA. It is a high-resolution model used to allocate individual school-aged children to both a home and school location, and to devise a minimum-time home-to-school commuting path (called a trace) between the two locations. LandScan relies heavily on Geographic Information System (GIS) data. With respect to school children attending school in their home census tract, the vast majority does not in Philadelphia. Our analyses found that: (1) about 32% of the students walk across two or more census tracts going to school and 40% of them walk across four or more census blocks; and (2) 60% drive across four or more census tracts going to school and 50% drive across 10 or more census blocks. We also find that: (3) using a 5-min commuting time interval — as opposed to the modeled “trace” — results in misclassifying the “actual” path taken in 90% of the census blocks, 70% of the block groups, and 50% of the tracts; (4) a 1-min time interval is needed to reasonably resolve time spent in the various census unit designations; and (5) approximately 50% of both the homes and schools of Philadelphia school children are located within 160 m of highly traveled roads, and 64% of the schools are located within 200 m. These findings are very important when modeling school children's exposures, especially, when ascertaining the impacts of near-roadway concentrations on their total daily body burden. As many school children also travel along these streets and roadways to get to school, a majority of children in Philadelphia are in mobile source-dominated locations most of the day. We hypothesize that exposures of school children in Philadelphia to benzene and particulate matter will be much higher than if home and school locations and commuting paths at a 1-min time resolution are not explicitly modeled in an exposure assessment. Undertaking such an assessment will be the topic of a future paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Oxytetracycline ((2Z,4S,4aR,5S,5aR,6S,12aS)-2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-4-dimethylamino-5,6,10,11,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione) is a member of tetracycline antibiotics family and is widely administered to farm animals for the purpose of therapeutical treatment and health protection. Increasing attention has been paid to the environmental fate of oxytetracycline and other veterinary antibiotics with the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment. The hydrolysis and photolysis degradation of oxytetracycline was investigated in this study. Oxytetracycline hydrolysis was found to obey the first-order model and similar rate constant values ranging from 0.094 ± 0.001 to 0.106 ± 0.003 day- 1 were obtained at different initial concentration ranging from 10 to 230 μ M. Solution pH and temperature were shown to have remarked effects on oxytetracycline hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in pH neutral solution appeared to be much faster than in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Oxytetracycline half-life decreased from 1.2 × 102 to 0.15 day with the increasing temperature from 4 ± 0.8 to 60 ± 1°C. The presence of Ca2 + made oxytetracycline hydrolytic degradation kinetics deviate from the simple first-order model to the availability-adjusted first-order model and greatly slowed down the hydrolysis. Oxytetracycline photolysis was found to be very fast with a degradation rate constant at 3.61 ± 0.06 day- 1, which is comparable to that of hydrolysis at 60°C. The presence of Ca2 + accelerated oxytetracycline photolysis, implying that oxytetracycline become more vulnerable to sunlight irradiation after chelating with Ca2 +. The photolysis may be the dominant degradation pathway of oxytetracycline in shallow transparent water environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This forum manuscript examines the importance of grazing lands for sequestering soil organic carbon (SOC), providing societal benefits, and potential influences on them of emerging policies and legislation. Global estimates are that grazing lands occupy ~ 3.6 billion ha and account for about one-fourth of potential carbon (C) sequestration in world soils. They remove the equivalent of ~ 20% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released annually into the earth's atmosphere from global deforestation and land-use changes. Atmospheric CO2 enters grazing lands soils through photosynthetic assimilation by green plants, subsequent cycling, and sequestration of some of that C as SOC to in turn contribute to the ability of grazing lands to provide societal (environmental and economic) benefits in every country where they exist. Environmental benefits provided include maintenance and well-being of immediate and surrounding soil and water resources, air quality, human and wildlife habitat, and esthetics. Grazing lands contribute to the economic well-being of those living on the land, to trade, and to exchange of goods and services derived from them at local, regional, or national levels. Rates of SOC sequestration vary with climate, soil, and management; examples and conditions selected from US literature illustrate the SOC sequestration that might be achieved. Public efforts, policy considerations, and research in the United States illustrate possible alternatives that impact grazing lands. Discussion of US policy issues related to SOC sequestration and global climate change reflect the importance attached to these topics and of pending legislative initiatives in the United States. Addressing primarily US policy does not lessen the importance of such issues in other countries, but allows an in-depth analysis of legislation, US Department of Agriculture program efforts, soil C credits in greenhouse gas markets, and research needs.

AB  - Este manuscrito examina la importancia de las "tierras de pastoreo" en el secuestro de carbono orgánico en el suelo (COS) y en la provisión de beneficios a la sociedad, y las influencias potenciales que las políticas y legislación emergentes puedan tener sobre las características mencionadas. Según estimaciones globales, las tierras de pastoreo ocupan ~ 3.600 millones ha e incluyen aproximadamente un cuarto del potencial edáfico mundial de secuestro de carbono. Remueven el equivalente a ~ 20% del dióxido de carbono (CO2) liberado a la atmosfera anualmente por la deforestación y los cambios en el uso de la tierra. El CO2 atmosférico ingresa en las tierras de pastoreo mediante la asimilación fotosintética de plantas verdes, el ciclado subsecuente, y el secuestro de parte de ese C como COS que a la vez hace que las tierras de pastoreo puedan proveer beneficios (tanto ambientales como económicos) a la sociedad de todo país que contenga dichas tierras. Los beneficios ambientales que las mismas proveen incluyen el mantenimiento y bienestar de suelos y agua adyacentes y cercanos, la calidad del aire, el hábitat humano y para la fauna silvestre, y los valores estéticos. Las tierras de pastoreo contribuyen al bienestar económico de quienes viven de la tierra, permitiéndoles el comercio e intercambio de los bienes y servicios derivados de dichas tierras a nivel local, regional, o nacional. Las tasas de secuestro de COS varían con el clima, el suelo, y el manejo; ejemplos y condiciones seleccionadas de la literatura de los EE.UU. ilustran los niveles de secuestro de COS factibles de alcanzar. Esfuerzos públicos, consideraciones de políticas, e investigación en los EE.UU. ilustran las posibles alternativas que impactan las tierras de pastoreo. La discusión de temáticas asociadas con las políticas de los EE.UU. en relación con el secuestro de COS y el cambio climático global reflejan la importancia que se le asigna a estos temas y a la legislación pendiente en los EE.UU. El abordaje de las políticas de los EE.UU., no va en desmedro de la importancia de esta temática en otros países, pero permite un análisis detallado de la legislación, los programas del USDA, de los créditos de C edáfico en mercados climáticos, y de necesidades de investigación.

AB  - The article suggests that material flow analysis (MFA) has the potential to inform the next generation of environmental policies particularly in the U.S. through the illumination of materials use and associated emissions patterns. Several attributes of MFA coupled with complementary methods such as probabilistic modeling, behavioral modeling and macroeconomics are elaborated. The author concludes that MFA practitioners have the opportunity to strive to inform persistent and emerging U.S. environmental policy changes.

AB  - Conservation biologists often face the trade-off that increasing connectivity in fragmented landscapes to reduce extinction risk of native species can foster invasion by non-native species that enter via the corridors created, which can then increase extinction risk. This dilemma is acute for stream fishes, especially native salmonids, because their populations are frequently relegated to fragments of headwater habitat threatened by invasion from downstream by 3 cosmopolitan non-native salmonids. Managers often block these upstream invasions with movement barriers, but isolation of native salmonids in small headwater streams can increase the threat of local extinction. We propose a conceptual framework to address this worldwide problem that focuses on 4 main questions. First, are populations of conservation value present (considering evolutionary legacies, ecological functions, and socioeconomic benefits as distinct values)? Second, are populations vulnerable to invasion and displacement by non-native salmonids? Third, would these populations be threatened with local extinction if isolated with barriers? And, fourth, how should management be prioritized among multiple populations? We also developed a conceptual model of the joint trade-off of invasion and isolation threats that considers the opportunities for managers to make strategic decisions. We illustrated use of this framework in an analysis of the invasion-isolation trade-off for native cutthroat trout ( ) in 2 contrasting basins in western North America where invasion and isolation are either present and strong or farther away and apparently weak. These cases demonstrate that decisions to install or remove barriers to conserve native salmonids are often complex and depend on conservation values, environmental context (which influences the threat of invasion and isolation), and additional socioeconomic factors. Explicit analysis with tools such as those we propose can help managers make sound decisions in such complex circumstances. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Resumen:  Los biólogos de la conservación a menudo enfrentan el hecho de que el incremento de la conectividad en paisajes fragmentados para reducir el riesgo de extinción de especies nativas puede fomentar la invasión de especies no nativas que entran vía los corredores creados, lo cual también incrementa el riesgo de extinción. Este dilema es agudo para peces de arroyo, especialmente salmónidos nativos, porque sus poblaciones frecuentemente son relegadas a fragmentos de hábitat amenazado por invasión desde río debajo de tres salmónidos no nativos cosmopolitas. Los manejadores a menudo bloquean estas invasiones con barreras, pero el aislamiento de salmónidos nativos en arroyos pequeños puede incrementar el riesgo de extinción local. Proponemos un marco conceptual para abordar este problema mundial que enfoca cuatro preguntas principales. Primera, ¿hay presencia de especies de valor para la conservación (considerando legados evolutivos, funciones ecológicas y beneficios socioeconómicos como valores distintos)? Segunda, ¿las poblaciones son vulnerables a la invasión y desplazamiento por salmónidos no nativos? Tercera, ¿estarían amenazadas de extinción local estas poblaciones sí se aíslan con barreras? Y, cuarta, ¿cómo debe priorizarse el manejo entre múltiples poblaciones? También desarrollamos un modelo conceptual de los pros y contras de las amenazas de invasión y aislamiento que considera las oportunidades para que los manejadores tomen decisiones estratégicas. Ilustramos el uso de este marco en un análisis de la compensación invasión-aislamiento del salmón nativo Oncorhynchus clarkii en dos cuencas contrastantes en el occidente de América del Norte donde la invasión y el aislamiento están presentes y fuertes o lejanos y aparentemente débiles. Estos casos demuestran que las decisiones de instalar o remover barreras para conservar salmónidos nativos a menudo son complejas y dependen de valores de conservación, contexto ambiental (que influye en la amenaza de invasión y de aislamiento) y factores socioeconómicos. El análisis explícito con herramientas como las que proponemos puede ayudar a que los manejadores tomen decisiones sensatas en circunstancias tan complejas. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - • The genetic control of carbon allocation and partitioning in woody perennial plants is poorly understood despite its importance for carbon sequestration, biofuels and other wood-based industries. It is also unclear how environmental cues, such as nitrogen availability, impact the genes that regulate growth, biomass allocation and wood composition in trees. • We phenotyped 396 clonally replicated genotypes of an interspecific pseudo-backcross pedigree of Populus for wood composition and biomass traits in above- and below-ground organs. The loci that regulate growth, carbon allocation and partitioning under two nitrogen conditions were identified, defining the contribution of environmental cues to their genetic control. • Sixty-three quantitative trait loci were identified for the 20 traits analyzed. The majority of quantitative trait loci are specific to one of the two nitrogen treatments, demonstrating significant nitrogen-dependent genetic control. A highly significant genetic correlation was observed between plant growth and lignin/cellulose composition, and quantitative trait loci co-localization identified the genomic position of potential pleiotropic regulators. • Pleiotropic loci linking higher growth rates to wood with less lignin are excellent targets to engineer tree germplasm improved for pulp, paper and cellulosic ethanol production. The causative genes are being identified with a genetical genomics approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Environmental problems are generally complex and blind to disciplinary boundaries.  Efforts to devise long-term solutions require collaborative research that  integrates knowledge across historically disparate fields, yet the traditional  model for training new scientists emphasizes personal independence and disciplinary  focus. Growing awareness of the limitations of the traditional model has spurred a reexamination of graduate training in the environmental sciences. Many institutions  are implementing novel training approaches, with varying degrees of success.  In this article, a group of current and former doctoral students evaluates  our collective experience in one such program, the Biogeochemistry and  Environmental Biocomplexity Program at Cornell University, funded by an  Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship grant from the  National Science Foundation. We identify aspects of the program that  contributed to our integrative research training experience, and discuss  stumbling blocks that may arise in such programs. We conclude with  recommendations for students and faculty interested in facilitating cross-disciplinary interactions at their home institutions.  INSET: Box 1.

AB  - A study was conducted to evaluate effects of nitrocompounds on growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, nitrogen retention, and microbial community in laying hen manure. There were three treatments: control, 100 mM nitropropanol (NPL), and 100 mM nitropropionic acid (NPC). The mixed laying hen manure was divided into 3 groups and incubated at 23°C for 7 days. On Days 0, 3, and 7, samples were collected to measure the quantity of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, total nitrogen retention, and microbial community changes. Both nitrocompounds significantly reduced growth of the uric acid-utilizing microorganisms on Day 3 (P < 0.05). Inhibitory effects of both nitrocompounds remained until Day 7 when the experiment was terminated. NPL treatment retained significantly more manure nitrogen compared to the control on both Days 3 and 7. Manure nitrogen levels of NPC treatment were also significantly higher than the control on Day 7. We further investigated the effects of NPL and NPC on microbial community changes during a 7-day incubation. NPC treatment and control on Day 7 exhibited 94% community similarity. NPC on Day 3 and NPL on Day 7 also showed high community similarity (approximately 94%). Control on Day 0 and Day 7 yielded less than 80% community similarity. Control and NPL treatment groups on Day 3 gave the lowest community similarity (approximately 64%) compared to the other groups. This result indicated that incubation time and treatment moderately influenced microbial community changes. In summary, these results indicate that both nitrocompounds increased manure nitrogen retention by inhibiting the growth of uric acid-utilizing microorganisms, and that NPL and NPC could be used as manure treatments in order to reduce ammonia volatilization and nitrogen retention in poultry manure. Moreover, nitrocompounds may have potential as feed additives to reduce ammonia volatilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the availability of several protocols for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids from foliage of forest trees, information regarding their respective extraction efficiencies is scarce. We compared the efficiencies of acetone, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) over a range of incubation times for the extraction of chlorophylls and carotenoids using small amounts of unmacerated tissue. Of the 11 species studied, comparable amounts of chlorophyll were extracted by all four solvents from three species and by ethanol and DMF from nine species. In four species, acetone, ethanol, and DMF extracted comparable chlorophyll amounts, while in another two species comparable amounts were extracted by ethanol, DMSO, and DMF. In one species, ethanol extracted significantly greater amounts of chlorophyll compared with all other solvents. The brown coloration of DMSO extracts for some species compromised the calculations of chlorophylls and carotenoids, making DMSO a poor choice. Overall, extraction efficiencies of ethanol and DMF were comparable for analyzing chlorophyll concentrations. However, because DMF is more toxic than ethanol, we recommend ethanol as the better option of these two for chlorophyll extractions. On the other hand, DMF is the most efficient solvent among the four tested for the extraction of carotenoids from these species. The results presented will facilitate the design of multispecies local- and regional-scale ecological studies to evaluate forest health. Additionally, they will enable reliable comparisons of results from multiple laboratories and (or) studies that used different solvents and help validate chlorophyll estimates obtained by remote sensing. Bien qu’il existe plusieurs protocoles pour extraire la chlorophylle et les caroténoïdes du feuillage des arbres forestiers, les informations concernant leur efficacité relative sont rares. Nous avons comparé l’efficacité de l’acétone, de l’éthanol, du diméthylsulfoxyde (DMSO) et du N, N-diméthylformamide (DMF) en utilisant différentes périodes d’incubation pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle et des caroténoïdes à partir de tissus non macérés. Parmi les 11 espèces étudiées, des quantités comparables de chlorophylle ont été extraites avec les quatre solvants chez trois espèces et avec l’éthanol et le DMF chez neuf espèces. Chez quatre espèces, l’acétone, l’éthanol et le DMF ont extrait des quantités comparables de chlorophylle tandis que chez deux autres espèces, c’était l’éthanol, le DMSO et le DMF. Chez une espèce, l’éthanol a extrait des quantités significativement plus élevées de chlorophylle que les autres solvants. Chez certaines espèces le DMSO n’est pas la meilleure option parce que la coloration brune des extraits compromet l’exactitude du calcul des quantités de chlorophylle et de caroténoïdes. Entre deux options comparables pour l’extraction de la chlorophylle chez la plupart des espèces, nous recommandons l’éthanol plutôt que le DMF à cause de la toxicité de ce dernier. Cependant, le DMF est le seul solvant qui peut efficacement extraire les caroténoïdes chez ces espèces. Les données présentées dans cette étude vont faciliter la conception des études écologiques qui comportent plusieurs espèces pour évaluer l’état de santé de la forêt. De plus, elles vont permettre de faire des comparaisons fiables entre les résultats provenant de plusieurs laboratoires ou études qui utilisent différents solvants et aider à valider les estimations de la chlorophylle obtenues par télédétection.

AB  - A differential mobility analyzer (DMA) passes laser ablation (LA) particles and agglomerates within a narrow range of electrical mobilities to the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). No particle collection or offline particle analysis is required. Fractionation is assessed with the Cu+/Zn+ signal ratio. Results presented in this paper support previous findings that ns LA provides many small Zn-rich particles and some much larger Cu-rich particles and that fs LA produces large agglomerates of small particles. The composition of the aerosol produced by fs LA falls between the relatively Zn-rich and Cu-rich extremes of ns LA. Femtosecond LA provides elemental ratio measurements that remain more stable with respect to time, which allows a greater degree of confidence in LA results. Even though some parameters besides pulse length differ between the lasers compared in this study, the suppression of particle size related fractionation with fs LA can be attributed to pulse length.

AB  - Abstract: The dielectric properties of fresh apples of three cultivars were measured at 24°C over 10 weeks in storage at 4°C to determine whether these properties might be used to determine quality factors such as soluble solids content (SSC), firmness, moisture content and pH. The dielectric constants and dielectric loss factors at 51 frequencies from 10 to 1800MHz were determined for external surface and interior tissue measurements along with moisture content, firmness, and SSC and pH of juice expelled from the internal tissues. Dielectric properties of the three apple cultivars are presented graphically for all frequencies, and correlations between the dielectric properties and measured quality factors are discussed. Although a high correlation was observed in a linear relationship between the dielectric constant divided by SSC and the dielectric loss factor divided by SSC in the complex plane, the SSC was not predicted well from that relationship, and no high correlations were found between the dielectric properties and SSC, moisture content, firmness, or pH. The dielectric constant and loss factor remained essentially constant during the 10-week storage period. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The first observation of (anti)deuterons in deep inelastic scattering at HERA has been made with the ZEUS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 300–318 GeV using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb−1. The measurement was performed in the central rapidity region for transverse momentum per unit of mass in the range . The particle rates have been extracted and interpreted in terms of the coalescence model. The (anti)deuteron production yield is smaller than the (anti)proton yield by approximately three orders of magnitude, consistent with the world measurements. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Negative impacts on methane (CH4) oxidation capacity have already been observed for a variety of agronomic practices, but the effect of soil fumigation on CH4 oxidation has not been investigated. Fumigation is a common practice in agricultural crop and nursery seedling protection. Soils from various agricultural experiment stations, forest nurseries, and a landfill were evaluated for effects of 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D), methyl isothiocyanate (MITC), and chloropicrin (CP) on CH4 oxidation capacities. All three fumigants significantly reduced CH4 oxidation rates in historically non-fumigated soils (>50%). 1,3-D enhanced CH4 oxidation in 3 out of 5 previously fumigated soils and MITC increased CH4 oxidation rates in all historically MITC-fumigated soils compared to controls. CP universally decreased oxidation capacity regardless of fumigation history. These results support the conclusion that CH4 oxidation effects are fumigant specific and that prior fumigation history plays a vital role in determining the impact on CH4 oxidizer community functionality, which may have implications on the global CH4 cycle.

AB  - Varying illumination geometry affects spectral measurements of a target reflectance and the intensity of solar radiation is the most important factor for in-field spectral measurements. This paper reports the effect of bidirectional electromagnetic radiation on an image-based reflectance sensor designed for plant nitrogen assessment. The results show the nonlinearity of reflectance as a function of the solar zenith angle. Ambient illumination was analysed and compensated for using fixed nadir-view positions of a solar radiometer and a 3-charge-coupled device (CCD) multispectral imaging sensor (MSIS). A compensation algorithm was developed to correct for the nonlinearity of both sensors. The compensated reflectance remained linearly consistent with varying the solar zenith angle throughout the daytime within a maximum standard deviation of 0.62% at all three (green, red and near-infrared) spectral channels, when testing with a 20% reflectance panel. The consistent reflectance was recovered under both sunny and cloudy conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: An attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis RD1 knockout and pantothenate auxotroph (mc26030) vaccine administered at 2 weeks of age failed to protect calves from low dose, aerosol M. bovis challenge at 2.5 months of age. In contrast, M. bovis bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG)-vaccinates had reduced tuberculosis-associated pathology as compared to non- and mc26030-vaccinates. Mycobacterial colonization was not impacted by vaccination. Positive prognostic indicators associated with reduced pathology in the BCG-vaccinated group were decreased antigen induced IFN-γ, iNOS, IL-4, and MIP1-α responses, increased antigen induced FoxP3 expression, and a diminished activation phenotype (i.e., ↓CD25+ and CD44+ cells and ↑CD62L+ cells) in mycobacterial-stimulated mononuclear cell cultures. The calf sensitization and challenge model provides an informative screen for candidate tuberculosis vaccines before their evaluation in costly non-human, primates. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Density functional theory is used to investigate the structure of sulfur on the Pd(111) surface. Among the different models that were considered, the densely packed mixed sulfur-metal overlayer structure proposed by Liu et al. [W. Liu, K.A.R. Mitchell, W. Berndt, Surf. Sci. 393 (1997) L119] was found to be the most energetically favorable. This model consists of arrangement of Pd triangles and pentagons on top of Pd(111) with the sulfur atoms at 3/7 monolayer coverage. The dominant mechanism for sulfur interaction with Pd in the overlayer region is the rehybridization of sulfur 3p and metal 4d bands. Simulated scanning tunneling microscopy image for this structure shows some similarity with that obtained from experiment. Our study confirms that surface sulfide with no structural resemblance to its bulk counterparts can form on Pd(111). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Differences in bone among racial/ethnic groups may be explained by differences in body size and shape. Previous studies have not completely explained differences among white, Asian, and Hispanic groups during growth. To determine racial/ethnic differences and predictors of bone mass in early pubertal girls, we measured bone mineral content (BMC) in white, Hispanic, and Asian sixth-grade girls across six states in the United States. We developed models for predicting BMC for the total-body, distal radius, total-hip, and lumbar spine for 748 subjects. For each of the bone sites, the corresponding area from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was a strong predictor of BMC, with correlations ranging 0.78–0.98, confirming that larger subjects have more BMC. Anthropometric measures of bone area were nearly as effective as bone area from DXA at predicting BMC. For total-body, distal radius, lumbar spine, and total-hip BMC, racial/ethnic differences were explained by differences in bone area, sexual maturity, physical activity, and dairy calcium intake. Bone size explained most of the racial/ethnic differences in BMC, although behavioral indicators were also significant predictors of BMC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Host range studies of the parasitoid Allotropa sp. near mecrida (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) were conducted prior to applying for a permit to release it against the pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), in southern California. Using M. hirsutus as a control, four mealybug species were tested as potential hosts. Allotropa sp. near mecrida did not successfully reproduce in any of the mealybug species tested, except for the target species, M. hirsutus. The parasitoid was found to host feed upon one of the non-target species within the confined test environment. Subsequently a USDA-APHIS importation and release permit was granted.

AB  - Abstract: Biodiesel, defined as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils and animal fats is, has undergone rapid development and acceptance as an alternative diesel fuel. Kinematic viscosity is one of the fuel properties specified in biodiesel standards, with 40°C being the temperature at which this property is to be determined and ranges of acceptable kinematic viscosity given. While data on kinematic viscosity of biodiesel and related materials at higher temperatures are available in the literature, this work reports on the kinematic viscosity of biodiesel and a variety of fatty acid alkyl esters at temperatures from 40°C down to −10°C in increments of 5°C using the appropriately modified standard reference method ASTM D445. Investigating the low-temperature properties of biodiesel, including viscosity, of biodiesel and its components is important because of the problems associated with the use of biodiesel under these conditions. Such data may aid in developing biodiesel fuels optimized for fatty ester composition. An index termed here the low-temperature viscosity ratio (LTVR) using data at 0°C and 40°C (divide viscosity value at 0°C by viscosity value at 40°C) was used to evaluate individual compounds but also mixtures by their low-temperature viscosity behavior. Compounds tested included a variety of saturated, monounsaturated, diunsaturated and triunsaturated fatty esters, methyl ricinoleate, in which the OH group leads to a significant increase in viscosity as well as triolein, as well as some fatty alcohols and alkanes. Esters of oleic acid have the highest viscosity of all biodiesel components that are liquids at low temperatures. The behavior of blends of biodiesel and some fatty esters with a low-sulfur diesel fuel was also investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The kinetics of desorption of hexane from the microporous metal framework RPM-1 has been studied using a pulse mass analyzer. In this method a small sample of organic liquid was injected into a heated carrier gas that passes through a packed bed of adsorbent. The change in mass of the bed with time was observed following the adsorption of the pulse. RPM-1 is a microporous material of the general formula [M3(bpdc)3(bpy)]·4DMF·H2O, where M is either Co or Zn, bpdc is biphenyl dicarboxylate and bpy is 4,4′-bipyridine. The pores are channels of larger supercages (11×11×5Å) connected by smaller windows of approximately 8Å diameter. The desorption of hexane was well represented by a combination of two first order processes. Activation energies determined for the two processes over a temperature range of 373–473K were 56 and 63kJ/mol for RPM-1 (Co). The two activation energies are similar to isosteric heats of adsorption measured independently in earlier work at corresponding coverages. Similar values were found for RPM-1 (Zn). The pulse mass analyzer was found to be an effective way to investigate the dynamics of adsorption processes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Diorhabda elongata (Brullé) sensu lato leaf beetles have been released in the United States for the classical biological control of invasive Tamarix L. species, which are exotic trees that are causing deterioration of riparian ecosystems in western North America. The impact of D. elongata defoliation on Tamarix nonstructural carbohydrates (NCHOs) was measured in both manipulative field cage, and non-manipulative natural experiments. Additionally, spring above-ground growth was measured following beetle defoliation in manipulative field cage experiments in Texas. There was no significant difference in the proportional change in NCHOs between beetle-damaged and undamaged control-treatment trees in the manipulative field cage experiment. However, spring above-ground regrowth was reduced by 35% on trees which experienced beetle defoliation the previous fall. In the natural experiment, root crown tissue was sampled in 2005 and 2006 from stands near Lovelock, Nevada in which trees had experienced 0–4 years of beetle defoliation. In 2005, mean NCHO concentrations were statistically different between tree stands and ranged from 9.0±0.8% (mean±SE) in trees that had not been defoliated to 3.2±0.4%, 2.1±0.4% and 2.3±0.4% in trees in stands that had been defoliated for 1, 2 and 3 successive years, respectively. In 2006, NCHO concentrations were again statistically different between stands and ranged from 13.6±0.9% in trees that had not been defoliated to 7.6±0.8%, 2.3±0.4%, 1.5±0.3% and 1.7±0.4% in trees in stands that had been defoliated for 1, 2, 3 and 4 years, respectively. These results indicate that D. elongata herbivory reduces nonstructural carbohydrates and inhibits regrowth which may lead to reduced survival and reproduction of Tamarix. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Field-cage evaluations of introduced non-indigenous parasitoids in the genus Eretmocerus were conducted on cantaloupe during 1997 in the Imperial Valley, California, to identify effective new species or geographic populations for introduction and establishment against Bemisia tabaci strain B on cantaloupe and other impacted crops. Cantaloupe is a key host crop of B. tabaci biotype B in southwestern desert valleys in the U.S.A. in which increased natural enemy activity was seen as essential. Evaluations compared geographic populations of Eretmocerus mundus from Spain, India and Israel, E. hayati from Pakistan, E. emiratus from the United Arab Emirates, and E. sp. near emiratus from Ethiopia with the indigenous species E. eremicus. The best-performing species included E. emiratus and E. sp. near emiratus from the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia with more than 66 mean progeny per female, followed by the Israeli and Spanish populations of E. mundus, with 55 and 51 mean progeny, respectively. The best-performing species originated in regions with very similar climates to the Imperial Valley. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Erythrocytes of bovines and other ruminants have a strikingly anomalous phospholipid composition, with low or absent phosphatidylcholine (PC) together with high sphingomyelin (SM) content. Here, we report the presence in normal bovine serum of high levels of anti-phospholipid antibodies of IgM isotype against, PC and the phosphono analogue of phosphatidylethanolamine, aminoethylphosphonolipid (AEPL), normally produced by rumen ciliates. In contrast, no antibodies were detected against SM or N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), the major components of bovine erythrocytes. In addition, we found that exposure of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila to bovine serum results in rapid lysis, an effect that was inhibited by adsorption of the serum with SM/AEPL liposomes. Furthermore, incubation with bovine serum had a similar effect on freshly obtained ruminal ciliates, and the lytic activity was eliminated by pre-adsorption of the serum with SM/PE liposomes. The ruminant mode of life with its concomitant ciliate fauna is hereby linked to the peculiar conformation of bovine erythrocyte membranes. We propose that the unique phospholipid composition of bovine erythrocytes appears as an evolutionary adaptation to tolerate the lytic effects of anti-phospholipid antibodies generated against AEPL, a membrane component of the huge mass of ruminal ciliates, necessary commensals of this group of mammals.

AB  - Abstract: The influence of bulb maturity at bulb harvest on growth and flowering response of Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. ‘Chesapeake Starlight’ was investigated. Experiments were designed to determine if bulb maturity can be induced by bulb storage temperatures and whether bulb maturity can be evaluated by flowering responses. Bulbs with all senesced leaves at harvest were considered “mature” or with emerging young leaves and re-growing young roots were considered “immature”. Bulbs were potted after 0, 3, and 6 weeks of 30°C or 2 weeks of 10°C given either in the middle or at the end of 6 weeks of 30°C. Mature bulbs, as compared to immature bulbs, took longer for leaves to emerge when control bulbs that did not receive any temperature treatment after harvest were planted upon harvest. Leaf emergence of the immature bulbs was significantly earlier than that of the mature bulbs. Mature bulbs which received 30°C for 3 weeks (30°C/3 week) flowered 31 days faster than immature bulbs and all bulbs flowered. Leaf emergence and flowering of mature and immature bulbs that received 30°C/6 weeks or 2 weeks of 10°C in the middle of 6 weeks of 30°C (30°C/2 weeks–10°C/2 week–30°C/3 weeks) did not differ from each other. Maturity can be induced by storing immature bulbs at 30°C/6 weeks. Maturity, as evaluated by flowering percentage and days from leaf emergence to flowering, can be induced in O. thyrsoides. Immature bulbs can, therefore, be harvested for later forcing as long as bulbs are treated with 30°C/6 weeks. It is proposed that maturity can be correlated with the speed of flowering and bulbs can be harvested at immature physiological state for forcing. Postharvest high-temperature treatment can be used to force immature bulbs that were harvested before the senescence of the leaves. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This study was initiated to attempt clarify the identities of taxa referred to as Prunus yedoensis that grows under natural environments in Jeju, Korea and of Yoshino cherry hybrids of cultivated origin (also recorded as P.× yedoensis) in Japan, and to understand the difference between these two taxa. P. yedoensis and other species collected from natural habitats from Jeju, Korea and cultivated materials of Yoshino cherries from Tokyo and Washington, DC, were analyzed with inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers, and sequence analysis of two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) genes, rpl16 and trnL-trnF spacer. Depending on the source of Yoshino cherry, accessions show variations with ISSR and cpDNA. Accessions belonging to each of P. serrulata var. spontanea, P. serrulata var. pubescens, and P. sargentii were grouped closely to P. yedoensis and Yoshino cherry accessions. However, two Yoshino cherry accessions that include ‘Akebono’ showed the same rpl16 haplotype of A and A at the position of 113 and 206, respectively, which were found in 4 out of 16 P. yedoensis accessions. Twelve accessions of P. yedoensis and 11 other Yoshino cherries showed rpl16 haplotype of T and A at these positions. P. yedoensis native to Korea can be considered different from Yoshino cherry of hybrid origin from Japan based on ISSR markers and rpl16 haplotypes. Therefore, it may be concluded that the Korean taxon currently referred to as P. yedoensis can be considered indigenous and sufficiently distinct to warrant recognition as a distinct entity.

AB  - Objective--To determine whether selection for the homozygous A136 R171 genotype that confers resistance to classic scrapie infection negatively affects production traits in sheep. Animals--996 commercial lambs obtained from 2 flocks at separate locations across 3 consecutive years. Procedures--Genotyping at codon 136 and 171 was performed by use of commercially available testing or a single-nucleotide polymorphism assay. Carcass data were collected without knowledge of genotype approximately 24 hours after slaughter by an experienced grader. The model to analyze associations between prion protein (PRNP) genotype and production traits was based on genotype, breed, or both as fixed effects and days on feed as a covariate. Results--Average daily gain was significantly associated with only combined codons 136 and 171. In flock 1, weaning average daily gain was significantly greater in AA136 sheep than heterozygotes; the difference between QR171 and RR171 sheep, compared with QQ171 sheep, were not significant although QR171 and RR171 sheep had higher values. However, in flock 2, average daily gain was significantly greater in AV136 sheep than AA136 sheep and in QR171 sheep than QQ171 sheep. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance--Findings suggest there is an advantage for average daily gain in lambs with an arginine allele at codon 171, but there were no other genotype effects on production traits. Thus, selection for the resistant arginine allele at codon 171 to comply with USDA scrapie eradication guidelines should not be detrimental to lamb production in commercial flocks. Effects of codon 136 on average daily gain were ambiguous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The US food industry would benefit from a domestically produced gum with a dependable supply and consistent quality that can be used for preparing oil-in-water (O-in-W) emulsions, such as citrus oil emulsions for beverages. Corn fiber gum (CFG) is an arabinoxylan (hemicellulose) extracted from the corn kernel pericarp and/or endosperm fiber fractions that can possibly fulfill this need. In this study two different types of CFG, CFG-1 and 2, were prepared from corn fiber collected from different wet or dry corn milling facilities by (a) sequential alkaline extraction and alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching and (b) an additional alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment of the alkali treated residue, respectively. CFG-1 might be linked to the cell wall matrix through ester linkages and CFG-2 by non-ester linkages and/or other strong interactions. The stabilization of O-in-W emulsions by corn fiber and acacia gums was investigated by preparing emulsions with a high pressure homogenizer and monitoring the emulsion breakage by turbidity measurements. All CFG samples were effective emulsifiers but CFG-2 extracted separately from three different corn fiber sources was determined to be a better emulsifier than the corresponding CFG-1. CFGs isolated from wet milled pericarp and endosperm fiber and wet milled pericarp fiber have a higher protein content than CFGs isolated from dry milled pericarp fiber and were determined to be better emulsifiers for the O-in-W emulsion system. The emulsifying properties of all CFGs including an industrial grade commercial CFG were determined to be better than native and modified acacia gums. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Previous work has shown that flagellin (FGN) is a potent stimulator in vitro of phagocytic cell functions of chickens. The purpose of this study was to define the effects of FGN on the inflammatory response to Salmonella enteritidis (SE) in chickens. Intra-abdominal (IA) FGN administration caused significant increases in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) compared with SE-injected controls at 4 and 8 h postinjection ( P≤0.05). The heterophil (PMN) was the predominant cell responsible for the increased numbers of leukocytes in the peripheral blood. In the abdominal cavity, leukocyte infiltrates were significantly greater in FGN-injected (8 h) and SE/FGN-injected (4 and 24 h) birds than in the SE-injected control birds. Again, the predominant leukocyte infiltrating the abdominal cavity was the PMN. Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-injected protein control birds showed no increases in PBL or in abdominal cell leukocyte infiltrates over saline-injected controls. In IA challenge studies, FGN reduced SE-associated mortality (26%) compared with mortality of 51% in the SE group ( P≤0.05). BSA-injected/SE-challenged chicks had mortality similar to that of the SE group. The data suggest that FGN is a potent stimulator of a heterophil-mediated innate immune response in vivo, protecting against bacterial infections in chickens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Inhibition of Clostridium perfringens spore germination and outgrowth during abusive chilling regimes was investigated by the incorporation of lactates of calcium (CaL), potassium (KL) and sodium (NaL) in injected pork. Lactates (Ca, K, or Na) were incorporated into injected pork samples at four different concentrations (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, and 4.8%), along with a no-lactate control. A three-strain cocktail of C. perfringens spores was inoculated into the product (injected pork) to obtain a final spore population of ca. 2.0–2.5log10 CFU/g. Chilling of injected pork (control) from 54.4 to 7.2°C within 6.5, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21h exponential chill rates resulted in C. perfringens population increases of 0.49, 2.40, 4.02, 5.03, 6.24, and 6.30log10 CFU/g, respectively. Addition of CaL at 1.0% or KL and NaL ⩾2.0% to injected pork was able to control C. perfringens germination and outgrowth to <1logCFU/g, meeting the USDA-FSIS performance standard. However, extension of chilling rates beyond 9.0h (up to 21h) required addition of CaL (⩾2.0%), KL or NaL (⩾3.0%) to meet the stabilization performance standard. In general, CaL was more effective compared to KL or NaL for all the chilling regimes, in reducing the potential risk of C. perfringens germination and outgrowth. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In this study, silane cross-linked wood–polyethylene composite profiles were manufactured by reactive extrusion. These composites were evaluated regarding their durability and mechanical properties in comparison with two non-cross-linked wood–polyethylene composites. An addition of only 2% w/w of silane solution during manufacturing was enough to achieve almost 60% degree of cross-linking after curing. The cross-linked composites showed flexural toughness superior to the non-cross-linked composites. The cross-linked composites also absorbed less moisture during a boiling test in water and this was an indirect evidence of improved interfacial adhesion. After accelerated weathering for 1000–3000h the general trend was a decrease in flexural modulus and strength of both the non-cross-linked and cross-linked composites. The decrease in modulus seemed to be lower for the cross-linked composites while the decrease in strength seemed to be higher compared to the non-cross-linked composites. Weathering also resulted in a considerable colour fading of the composites. Water absorption–freeze–thaw cycling decreased the flexural modulus of non-cross-linked composites considerably while there was no statistical decrease in modulus for the cross-linked composites. There was only an insignificant decrease in strength for the composites after the water absorption–freeze–thaw cycling. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Protein biomarkers observed in the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra (MALDI-TOF-MS) of cell lysates of three strains of Campylobacter coli, two strains of C. lari and one strain of C. concisus have been identified by ‘bottom-up’ proteomic techniques. The significant findings are as follows. First, the protein biomarkers identified were: PhnA-related protein, 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (DmpI)-related protein, NifU-like protein, cytochrome c, DNA-binding protein HU, 10 kDa chaperonin, thioredoxin, as well as several conserved hypothetical and ribosomal proteins. Second, variations in the biomarker ion m/z in MALDI-TOF-MS spectra across species and strains are the result of variations in the amino acid sequence of the protein due to non-synonymous mutations of the biomarker gene. Third, the most common post-translational modifications (PTMs) were the removal of the N-terminal methionine and N-terminal signal peptides. However, in the case of the NifU protein (an iron–sulfur cluster transport protein), post-translational cleavage occurred from the C-terminus. Fourth, only the genomes of the C. coli strain RM2228 and C. lari strain RM2100 have been sequenced; thus, proteomic identification of the proteins of the other strains in this study relied upon sequence homology to the genomic sequence of these strains as well as the genomes of sequences of other Campylobacter strains. In some cases, the determination of the full amino acid sequence of a protein biomarker from a genomically non-sequenced strain was accomplished by combining non-overlapping partial sequences from proteomic identifications of genomically-sequenced strains that were of the same species (or of a different species) to that of the non-sequenced strain. The accuracy of this composite sequence was confirmed by both MS and MS/MS. It was necessary, in some cases, to perform de novo sequencing on ‘gaps’ in the composite sequence that were not homologous to any genomically-sequenced strain. In order to validate the composite sequence approach, composite sequences were further confirmed by subsequent DNA sequencing of the biomarker gene. Thus, using the composite sequence approach, it was possible to determine the full amino acid sequence of an unknown protein from a genomically non-sequenced bacterial strain without the necessity of either sequencing the biomarker gene or performing full de novo MS/MS sequencing. The sequence obtained could then be used as a strain-specific biomarker for analysis by ‘top-down’ proteomics techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract  Esterases (EC 3.1.1.x) represent a diverse group of hydrolases catalyzing the cleavage and formation of carboxyl ester bonds. Their connection with development has made them a suitable marker of development in plants. In the present work, we focused on the fluorimetric determination of the plant esterases in plant cell cultures (tobacco BY-2 cells and early somatic embryos of Norway spruce, clone 2/32) with respect to application the method for the study of programmed cell death and the influence of cadmium(II) ions on the plant cells. The programmed cell death has been triggered by sodium nitroprusside and glucose oxidase. The determination of the esterase activity by the proposed technique in a cell extract determined very small difference in enzyme activity, which was a reliable marker of metabolic changes. In addition, the esterase activity of spruce somatic embryos decreased with the increase in medium Cd concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Improved understanding and assessment of the complex factors associated with disease emergence and spread will lead to better management and thus reduction of risk for disease occurrence. Specific biological, ecologic, environmental, and societal factors have been identified that precede emerging infections. Based on these factors, a qualitative tool was developed to assess risk for disease emergence and spread. Within this tool, three separate assessment elements were developed: novel disease evolution, pathways by which a disease agent could be introduced into a country, and domestic spread from the location of introduction or evolution. Risk factors identified for each of the three elements consist of specific descriptions of production practices, consumer demand, trade, health conditions, and environmental conditions, and are categorized as primary or secondary. Using this tool, those factors contributing greatest to risk of disease emergence can be identified and targeted for mitigation. In addition, risk can be monitored over time, focusing on factors that are primary or that have the greatest potential for increasing disease emergence risk. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Comparison of the adsorption of N2 on Ru(109) and Ru(001) – A detailed look at the role of atomic step and terrace sites

AB  - Abstract: We present a direct side-by-side comparison of the adsorption and desorption of nitrogen on the atomically-stepped Ru(109) surface and the atomically-flat Ru(001) surface. Both infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) are employed in this study, along with density functional theory (DFT). We find that the chemisorptive terminal binding of N2 is stronger on the atomic step sites than on the terrace sites of Ru(109) as indicated by TPD and by a reduction of the singleton vibrational frequency, ν(N2), by ∼9cm−1, comparing steps to terraces. In addition, we find that metal–metal compression effects on the terrace sites of Ru(109) cause stronger binding of N2 than found on the Ru(001) surface, as indicated by a reduction of the terrace-N2 singleton vibrational frequency by ∼11cm−1 when compared to the singleton N2 mode on Ru(001). These spectroscopic results, comparing compressed terrace sites to Ru(001) sites and confirmed by TPD and DFT, indicate that N2 bonds primarily as a σ-donor to Ru. Using equimolar 15N2 and 14N2, it is found that dynamic dipole coupling effects present at higher N2 coverages may be partially eliminated by isotopically detuning neighbor oscillators. These experiments, considered together, indicate that the order of the bonding strength for terminal-N2 on Ru is: atomic steps>atomic terraces>Ru(001). DFT calculations also show that 4-fold coordinated N2 may be stabilized in several structures on the double-atom wide steps of Ru(109) and that this form of bonding produces substantial decreases in the N2 vibrational frequency and increases in the binding energy, compared to terminally-bound N2. These highly coordinated N2 species are not observed by IRAS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death among older Americans. Many of the chronic health conditions that result in the loss of independence, disability, and reduced quality of life in older adults are preventable through healthful lifestyle including proper nutrition. Household income is a major economic factor that impacts food choices and nutritional status of individuals. The study examines the socioeconomic characteristics of adults, 60 years and older, and assesses the correlations between household income and food choices and nutritional status of adults. Adults (n = 2675) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 to 2002, were grouped into 1 of the 3 household income categories: low income (<131% poverty), medium income (131%-350% of poverty), and high income (>350% of poverty). Their sociodemographic characteristics and unadjusted mean nutrient and MyPyramid food group intakes were estimated. Multiple regression models were used to control for age and sex variability in mean estimations. Pairwise (t tests) mean comparisons were made among the income groups, at a priori α = .05 level of significance. Survey design effects were used in the analyses. There were 24.9%, 43.0%, and 32.1% adults in low-, medium-, and high-income groups, respectively. Only 77% of low-income adults were fully food-secure. Compared with medium- and high-income groups, the low-income group had a higher proportion of women (66.9%), Hispanics (20.1%) or non-Hispanic blacks (11.4%), adults having less than high-school-level education (34.2%), and adults who were widowed (40.6%) or divorced (12.1%). After controlling for age and sex, low-income adults consumed 526 kJ less than medium-income adults and 1050 kJ less than high-income adults. Lower proportion of low-income adults ate at or above the Adequate Intake or Estimated Average Intake levels for many micronutrients. They ate less fruit, vegetables, milk, meat, poultry, and fish than high-income adults. Older minority women living in low-income households are in urgent need for food assistance and nutrition intervention programs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Phylogenetic relationships among species assigned to genera of the family Lipomycetaceae were determined from analysis of the nearly entire large, subunit rRNA gene, the small subunit rRNA gene, mitochondrial small subunit rRNA gene and the translation elongation factor-1α gene. Monophyly of the Lipomycetaceae was strongly supported, and currently described species appear genetically unique. The multigene analysis provided no support for maintaining the genera Kawasakia, Smithiozyma, Waltomyces or Zygozyma, and it is proposed that species in these genera be assigned to the genus Lipomyces. The monotypic genus Babjevia is a member of the Dipodascopsis clade and it is proposed to reassign Babjevia anomala to Dipodascopsis. The proposed changes will result in the Lipomycetaceae having two ascosporic genera, Lipomyces and Dipodascopsis, and the anamorphic genus Myxozyma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - No-till farming is an important approach to sustainable agriculture because it can conserve soil and water resources. Unfortunately, rodent populations can thrive under no-till conditions because burrow systems are not disrupted by annual plowing and plant residues build-up on the surface, providing cover and insulation. This can result in substantial crop damage. We assessed rodent populations, habitat use, food habits, and crop damage in a no-till cropping system in Washington, USA. We also conducted preliminary trials of methods to reduce rodent populations and crop damage. In the fall, many more rodents were captured in fields with unharvested crops than in fields containing only plant stubble, suggesting that rodents leave fields after crop harvest, providing that suitable habitats are nearby, even when adequate cover is still available in harvested crop fields. By spring, the number of voles captured was much lower relative to fall. Despite this, capture rates were much higher in surrounding permanent grass areas than in crop (barley, wheat, pea) fields, suggesting that these grassy areas serve as refugia for rodents. Furthermore, the permanent grass cover type was the landscape variable most associated with rodent capture rates. In three winter pea fields, rodents removed 5–15% of the pea plants over winter. Examination of stomach contents revealed that voles mainly fed on grain plants in spring, but that their diet was more diversified in fall. Deer mice fed heavily on grain plants in both spring and fall, but also used insects as food. Metal barrier exclosures (9 m × 9 m), extending above and below ground, did not prevent access by rodents. Rodent populations in areas treated with zinc phosphide on grain were comparable to untreated areas 1 year after application of the rodenticide, perhaps because of immigration and recruitment, suggesting that baiting does not provide a long-term solution to rodent damage in no-till agricultural fields.

AB  - Abstract: Four chemicals [salicylic acid (SA), sodium salt of salicylic acid (NaSA), isonicotinic acid (INA), and DL-β-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA)] and the yeast antagonist Cryptococcus flavescens (=C. nodaensis nomen nudum) OH 182.9 were evaluated separately or together for the ability to reduce Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat in the greenhouse. When sprayed onto wheat heads at 3days prior to pathogen challenge with Gibberella zeae, NaSA and INA at 10mM significantly reduced FHB severity compared to the non-treated disease control. Applied at concentrations of 1 and 5mM at 3days before pathogen challenge, NaSA or INA in combination with OH 182.9 did not significantly reduce FHB severity compared to either treatment alone, though the lowest disease severity values frequently were associated with the combination treatments. When sprayed onto wheat heads just beginning to emerge from boot at 10days prior to pathogen inoculation, NaSA, INA, and BABA at 1mM significantly reduced FHB severity indicating that induced systemic resistance was at least partially responsible for the reduction of FHB disease. Induced FHB resistance was achieved by treating wheat with INA at concentrations as low as 0.1mM. In only one instance was 100-kernel weight affected by any chemical or combination of chemicals with OH 182.9 treatment. Data from our studies in the greenhouse suggest that chemical inducers can induce resistance in wheat against FHB, and that further efforts are warranted to explore the potential of improved control of FHB disease by incorporating chemical inducers with the FHB biocontrol agent OH 182.9.

AB  - Abstract: Bose–Einstein correlations of charged and neutral kaons have been measured in deep inelastic scattering with an integrated luminosity of using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The two-particle correlation function was studied as a function of the four-momentum difference of the kaon pairs, , assuming a Gaussian shape for the particle source. The values of the radius of the production volume, r, and of the correlation strength, λ, were obtained for both neutral and charged kaons. The radii for charged and neutral kaons are similar and are consistent with those obtained at LEP. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Soluble fibre β-glucan is one of the key dietary materials in the healthy food products known for reducing serum cholesterol levels. The micro-structural heterogeneity and micro-rheology of high-viscosity oat β-glucan solutions were investigated by monitoring the thermally driven displacements of well-dispersed microspheres via video fluorescence microscopy. By comparing the distribution of the time-dependent mean-square displacement (MSD) and ensemble-averaged MSD of polystyrene microspheres imbedded in four concentrations of β-glucan solutions, we found that the solutions exhibited perfectly homogeneous behaviour at ⩽1%, but showed a certain degree of heterogeneity at 2%. Micro-rheology investigation revealed that β-glucan solutions displayed nearly perfect viscous behaviour at ⩽1%, but the property changed into viscoelastic at 2%. Both micro-structural heterogeneity and micro-rheological property shifts occurred over a small concentration range, between 1% and 2%, of β-glucan. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This article presents the results of a study comparing the performance of different lipid measures for coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction using discrimination and calibration characteristics and reclassification of risk categories to assess incremental utility of apolipoproteins (apo) over traditional lipids for CHD prediction. The study used a large population-based cohort and discovered that the overall performance of apo B and apo A-1 ratio for prediction of CHD was comparable with that of traditional lipid ratios but did not offer incremental utility over low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The data does not support measurement of apo B or apo A-1 in clinical practice when total cholesterol and HDL-C measurements are available.

AB  - Abstract  Lysimeter-percolate and well-hydrograph analyses were combined to evaluate recharge for the Masser Recharge Site (central Pennsylvania, USA). In humid regions, aquifer recharge through an unconfined low-porosity fractured-rock aquifer can cause large magnitude water-table fluctuations over short time scales. The unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of the subsurface porous media control the magnitude and timing of these fluctuations. Data from multiple sets of lysimeters at the site show a highly seasonal pattern of percolate and exhibit variability due to both installation factors and hydraulic property heterogeneity. Individual event analysis of well hydrograph data reveals the primary influences on water-table response, namely rainfall depth, rainfall intensity, and initial water-table depth. Spatial and seasonal variability in well response is also evident. A new approach for calculating recharge from continuous water-table elevation records using a master recession curve (MRC) is demonstrated. The recharge estimated by the MRC approach when assuming a constant specific yield is seasonal to a lesser degree than the recharge estimate resulting from the lysimeter analysis. Partial reconciliation of the two recharge estimates is achieved by considering a conceptual model of flow processes in the highly-heterogeneous underlying fractured porous medium.

AB  - Abstract: In order to probe the magnetic ground state, we have carried out temperature-dependent magnetic Compton scattering experiments on an oriented single crystal of magnetite , together with the corresponding first-principles band theory computations to gain insight into the measurements. An accurate value of the magnetic moment associated with unpaired spins is obtained directly over the temperature range of 10–300K. is found to be non-integral and to display an anomalous behavior with the direction of the external magnetic field near the Verwey transition. These results reveal how the magnetic properties enter the Verwey energy scale via spin–orbit coupling and the geometrical frustration of the spinel structure, even though the Curie temperature of magnetite is in excess of 800K. The anisotropy of the magnetic Compton profiles increases through the Verwey temperature and indicates that magnetic electrons in the ground state of magnetite become delocalized on Fe B-sites above .

AB  - Abstract: Antioxidant activities (μmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g fresh weight) of 19 sweet potato genotypes with distinctive flesh colour (white, cream, yellow, orange and purple) were measured by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Total phenolics were measured using the Folin–Ciocalteau method, total anthocyanins by the pH-differential method, and β-carotene by HPLC. The total antioxidant activity (hydrophilic+lipophilic ORAC) was highest (27.2μmol TE/g fresh weight (fw)) for NC415 (purple-fleshed) and lowest (2.72μmol TE/g fw) for Xushu 18 (white-fleshed). The hydrophilic-ORAC values were significantly correlated with the DPPH (R 2 =0.859) and ABTS (R 2 =0.761) values. However, the lipophilic-ORAC values were poorly correlated with the β-carotene contents (R 2 =0.480). The total phenolic contents (0.011–0.949mg chlorogenic acid equivalent/g fw) were highly correlated with the hydrophilic-ORAC (R 2 =0.937) and DPPH (R 2 =0.820) values. Therefore, the total phenolic content can serve as a useful indicator for the antioxidant activities of sweet potatoes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Helminthic parasites can trigger highly polarized immune responses typically associated with increased numbers of CD4+ Th2 cells, eosinophils, mast cells, and basophils. These cell populations are thought to coordinate an effective response ultimately leading to parasite expulsion, but they also play a role in the regulation of associated pathologic inflammation. Recent studies suggest that macrophages, conventionally associated with IFN-γ-dominant Th1-type responses to many bacteria and viruses, also play an essential role in the Th2-type inflammatory response. These macrophages are referred to as alternatively activated macrophages (AAMΦs) as they express a characteristic pattern of cell surface and secreted molecules distinct from that of classically activated macrophages (CAMΦs) associated with microbe infections. In this review, we will discuss recent findings regarding the role of AAMΦs in the development of disease and host protection following helminth infection. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - 1. Currently there remains contradictory information on the localisation and possible role of alkaline phosphatase (AP) in the chicken and Japanese quail oviducts. 2. Using turkeys with a hard-shelled egg in their uteri, vaginal and uterovaginal junction mucosae were stretched and fixed as whole mounts prior to the histochemical localisation of AP activity. 3. Scattered AP reactive cells were observed in the vaginal and uterovaginal junction surface epithelia and intense AP reactivity of the sperm-storage tubule (SST) epithelium, localised to its apical border. 4. We suggest that such AP reactivity in hens in egg production may reflect cell differentiation and proliferation in the vagina and SST and possibly a mechanism for the transfer of lipid from the SST epithelia to resident sperm.

AB  - Abstract: Mechanical, barrier and antimicrobial properties of 0.1–0.5% suspensions of the following essential oils (EOs)/oil compounds (OCs) were evaluated against the foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 in alginate–apple puree edible film (AAPEF): oregano oil/carvacrol; cinnamon oil/cinnamaldehyde; and lemongrass oil/citral. The presence of plant essential oils did not significantly affect water vapor and oxygen permeabilities of the films, but did significantly modify tensile properties. Antimicrobial activities of solutions used to prepare edible films (AAPFFS) were also determined. The results obtained demonstrate that carvacrol exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity against E. coli O157:H7. The data show that the antimicrobial activities were in the following order: carvacrol>oregano oil>citral>lemongrass oil>cinnamaldehyde>cinnamon oil. This study showed that plant-derived essential oils and their constituents could be used to prepare apple-based antimicrobial edible films for food applications. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The O-antigen gene clusters of Escherichia coli serogroups O117, O126, and O146 were sequenced, and 11, 10, and 11 open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, respectively. Genes required for O-antigen sugar biosynthesis, sugar transfer, and sugar processing were identified. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed targeting the wzx and wzy genes present in the O-antigen gene cluster of these serogroups. The assays were highly serogroup specific when tested against strains belonging to serogroups that were isolated from food, humans, animals, and environmental sources, as well as against representative strains belonging to ca. 165 different E. coli O serogroups and a number of non-E. coli bacteria. Thus, the results demonstrate that the wzx and wzy gene sequences were specific to E. coli O117, O126, and O146 and can be used as diagnostic markers for rapid identification and detection of these serogroups.

AB  - Abstract: The production of energetic neutrons in ep collisions has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The neutron energy and distributions were measured with a forward neutron calorimeter and tracker in a sample of inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data and a sample of photoproduction data. The neutron yield in photoproduction is suppressed relative to DIS for the lower neutron energies and the neutrons have a steeper distribution, consistent with the expectation from absorption models. The distributions are compared to HERA measurements of leading protons. The neutron energy and transverse-momentum distributions in DIS are compared to Monte Carlo simulations and to the predictions of particle exchange models. Models of pion exchange incorporating absorption and additional secondary meson exchanges give a good description of the data. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The cytokines TNFα and IFNγ have previously been shown to activate caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) transcription. Increased viral titers correlate with increased lesion severity. Therefore, TNFα and IFNγ may augment the caprine arthritis lesion by increasing viral titers. CAEV transcription is under the control of the viral promoter within the U3 region of the long terminal repeat. A set of U3 deletion mutants was generated and used to establish stably integrated, U937-based cell lines. These cell lines were utilized to define the required promoter sequences for cytokine-induced transcriptional activation. Here we have identified a novel 17 nucleotide TNF-activated site within the U3 region 70 bp repeat which is both required and sufficient in a minimal construct for TNFα-induced CAEV transcriptional activation. In contrast to the results of previous studies with IFNγ, we found that multiple sequences within the U3 region 70 bp repeat were required for IFNγ-activation of the CAEV promoter. The results identify previously unrecognized complexity in the CAEV promoter that may be relevant to viral replication and disease. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Resveratrol and its derivatives are natural stilbenes associated with many health benefits that include those conferred by their antioxidant and anticancer properties. While stilbenes can be recovered as an extract from a selected number of plants, these products are not suitable for many applications in the food/pharmaceutical sectors due to high levels of impurities as well as the overall low concentration of resveratrol and its derivatives in the extract. To deliver a highly defined and enriched resveratrol product, hairy root cultures of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) were established and tested as a bioproduction system for resveratrol and associated derivatives. Analyses by HPTLC and GC–MS of ethyl acetate extracts showed that a single 24h sodium acetate elicitation resulted in a 60-fold induction and secretion of trans-resveratrol into the medium of peanut hairy root cultures. trans-Resveratrol accumulated to levels of 98μg/mg of the dried extract from the medium representing 99% of the total resveratrol produced. Other stilbenes, including trans-pterostilbene, were also detected in the medium. Our results demonstrate the capacity of hairy root cultures as an effective bioprocessing system for valued nutraceuticals like resveratrol and resveratrol derivatives. In being able to effectively induce and recover high levels of resveratrol and associated derivatives from the media fraction, hairy roots may offer a scalable and continuous product recovery platform for naturally-derived, high quality, enriched nutraceuticals.

AB  - Abstract: Despite the physiological importance of alpha-tocopherol (AT), the molecular mechanisms involved in maintaining cellular and tissue tocopherol levels remain to be fully characterized. Scavenger receptor B1 (SRB1), one of a large family of scavenger receptors, has been shown to facilitate AT transfer from HDL to peripheral tissues via apo A-1-mediated processes and to be important in the delivery of AT to the lung cells. In the present studies the effects of age and two environmental oxidants ozone (O3) (0.25 ppm 6 h/day) and cigarette smoke (CS) (60 mg/m3 6 h/day) for 4 days on selected aspects of AT transport in murine lung tissues were assessed. While AT levels were 25% higher (p <0.05) and 15% lower (p <0.05) in plasma and lung tissue, respectively, in aged versus young mice, acute environmental exposure to O3 or CS at the doses used had no effect. Gene expression levels, determined by RT-PCR of AT transport protein (ATTP), SRB1, CD36, ATP binding cassette 3 (ABCA3) and ABCA1 and protein levels, determined by Western blots for SRB1, ATTP and ABCA1 were assessed. Aged mouse lung showed a lower levels of ATTP, ABCA3 and SRB1 and a higher level CD36 and ABCA1. Acute exposure to either O3 or CS induced declines in ATTP and SRB1 in both aged and young mice lung. CD36 increased in both young and aged mice lung upon exposure to O3 and CS. These findings suggest that both age and environmental oxidant exposure affect pathways related to lung AT homeostasis and do so in a way that favors declines in lung AT. However, given the approach taken, the effects cannot be traced to changes in these pathways or AT content in any specific lung associated cell type and thus highlight the need for further follow-up studies looking at specific lung associated cell types.

AB  - Abstract: Acylated β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) were studied to gain perspective on maltose octapropanoate, the crystal structure of which was reported in the preceding paper in this issue. Acylated β-CDs are distorted so we looked at other CDs and gained increased understanding of distortion in CDs and possibly, shapes in starch. Classic CDs have six to eight glucose residues in a doughnut shape that is stabilized by a ring of inter-residue O3⋯O2′ hydrogen bonds. On a ϕ,ψ energy map for a maltose analog that does not form hydrogen bonds, classic CD linkages have higher energies than structures that are stabilized by the exo-anomeric effect. In distorted β-CDs, which lack hydrogen bonding, some linkages attain low-energies from the exo-anomeric effect and acyl stacking. Those linkages result in left-handed helical geometry so other linkages are forced by the CD macrocycle to have counter-balancing right-handed character. Permethylated γ-CDs have two ‘flipping’ linkages as do some larger native CDs. Flipping linkages allow two left-handed segments to join into a macrocycle, thus avoiding the higher-energy, right-handed forms. Some glucose rings in derivatized β-CDs have substantial positive twists of the pseudo torsion angle O1–C1⋯C4–O4, adding right-handed character to balance the left-handed linkages. In substituted γ-CD, all residues have negative twists, giving extra left-handed character to the short, pseudo-helical segments. In non-macrocyclic molecules the twists ranged from −14° to +2°, averaging −6.1°. In these β- and γ-CDs, the twists ranged from −22° to +16° for 4 C 1 rings, and the O S 2 ring in acetylated β-CD has a twist of +34°. Glucose residues in other CDs were less twisted.

AB  - Abstract: The crystal structure of β-maltose octapropanoate (1) was solved to improve understanding of di-, oligo-, and polysaccharide conformations. The O6 and O6′ atoms are in gg and gt orientations, respectively. Extrapolation of the coordinates of the non-reducing residue and observed linkage bond and torsion angles of 1 yields a left-handed helix similar to amylose triacetate I. The ϕ and ψ values of 1 are also similar to those of other crystalline, acylated maltose compounds as well as some hydroxyl-bearing molecules. Acylated maltose moieties are often stabilized by stacking of the carbonyl groups and α-carbons on O3 and O2′ as well as by the exo-anomeric effect. The conformation of 1 is within the 1-kcal/mol contour on a hybrid energy map built with a dielectric constant of 7.5, but corresponds to higher energies on maps made with lower dielectric constants. In one region of ϕ,ψ space, both hydroxyl-bearing and derivatized maltose moieties are found but no inter-residue, intramolecular hydrogen-bonding occurs. In another region, only hydroxyl-bearing molecules crystallize and O2′⋯O3 hydrogen bonds are always found. In agreement with the energy surfaces, amylose helices extrapolated from available linkage geometries were almost all left-handed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Cinnamon extract has been shown to reduce insulin resistance in in vitro and in vivo studies by increasing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in the insulin signaling pathway and thus potentiating insulin action. Fifteen women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were randomized to daily oral cinnamon and placebo for 8 weeks. Comparisons of post-treatment to baseline insulin sensitivity indices using fasting and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance tests showed significant reductions in insulin resistance in the cinnamon group but not in the placebo group. A larger trial is needed to confirm the findings of this pilot study and to evaluate the effect of cinnamon extract on menstrual cyclicity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Natural gas production from the dissociation of methane hydrate in a confined reservoir by a depressurizing downhole well was studied. The case that the well pressure was kept constant was treated, and two different linearization schemes in an axisymmetric configuration were used in the analysis. For different fixed well pressures and reservoir temperatures, approximate self similar solutions were obtained. Distributions of temperature, pressure and gas velocity field across the reservoir were evaluated. The distance of the decomposition front from the well and the natural gas production rate as functions of time were also computed. Time evolutions of the resulting profiles were presented in graphical forms, and their differences with the constant well output results were studied. It was shown that the gas production rate was a sensitive function of well pressure and reservoir temperature. The sensitivity of the results to the linearization scheme used was also studied.

AB  - We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the association between folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, and cognitive function in the elderly. Our search was conducted in Medline for English-language publications of human subjects from 1966 through November 2006; we supplemented these results with information from article reviews and domain experts. We included longitudinal cohort and case-control studies of B vitamins and analyses of cognitive tests or Alzheimer's disease. We evaluated the quality and heterogeneity of study outcomes and assessed 30 different cognitive function tests. Of 24 studies that met eligibility criteria, 16 were determined to be of fair quality. A majority of the studies reviewed 2 or more B vitamins. Considerable heterogeneity was found among B-vitamin-level thresholds, comparisons, and data analyses. Six of 10 folate studies reported a significant association between low baseline blood folate concentrations and subsequent poor test performance in the global cognitive domain, and 4 of 9 folate studies found associations between low blood folate concentrations and increased prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. Studies did not reveal an association of vitamin B-6 and vitamin B-12 blood concentrations with cognitive-test performance or Alzheimer's disease, nor was B-vitamin dietary intake associated with cognitive function. Higher plasma homocysteine concentrations were associated with poorer cognitive function. Although the majority of studies indicated that low blood folate concentrations predicted poorer cognitive function, data supporting this association were limited because of the heterogeneity in cognition-assessment methodology, and scarcity of good quality studies and standardized threshold levels for categorizing low B-vitamin status.

T1  - Excretion of the Urinary 5C- and 7C-Aglycone Metabolites of Vitamin K by Young Adults Responds to Changes in Dietary Phylloquinone and Dihydrophylloquinone Intakes.

AB  - The physiological function and putative health roles of vitamin K-dependent proteins now extend beyond their classical role in hemostasis and include bone mineralization, arterial calcification, apoptosis, phagocytosis, growth control, chemotaxis, and signal transduction. Current assessments of vitamin K status do not reflect the variety of molecular forms of vitamin K. We assessed whether urinary excretion of 2-methyl-3-(5′-carboxy-3′-methyl-2′-pentenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (7C- aglycone) and 2-methyl-3-(3′-3′-carboxymethylpropyll-1,4-naphthoquinone (5C-aglycone), vitamin K metabolites common to both phylloquinone and the menaquinone series, reflect dietary vitamin K intake. In a randomized crossover study, 9 adults resided in a metabolic unit for two 30-d periods separated by a free-living period of ≥4 wk. During each residency, subjects consumed 3 sequential diets: a control diet (93 μg phylloquinone/d) for 5 d, a phylloquinone-restricted diet (11 μg/d) for 15 d, followed by a randomly assigned repletion diet for 10 d with either phylloquinone (206 μg/d) or dihydrophylloquinone (240 μg/dl. During the second residency, the alternative repletion diet was assigned. Urinary excretion of the 5C- and 7C-aglycones was measured in sequential 24-h collections. The 5C-aglycone accounted for ∼75% of total excretion and declined in response to phylloquinone restriction (P = 0.001) to ∼30% of that during the control diet period. Repletion with phylloquinone and dihydrophylloquinone doubled the excretion rate of the major 5C-aglycone by 24 h (P< 0.001), and tripled excretion by 4 d. There was a linear relationship between the logarithm of total urinary excretion and dietary vitamin K intake (r = 0.699, P< 0.001). We conclude that the urinary excretion of vitamin K metabolites reflects dietary phylloquinone intake and offers the first candidate marker of global vitamin K status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Resistance of wheat to Mycosphaerella graminicola involves early and late peaks of gene expression

AB  - Abstract: Large-scale cDNA-AFLP profiling identified numerous genes with increased expression during the resistance response of wheat to the Septoria tritici blotch fungus, Mycosphaerella graminicola. To test whether these genes were associated with resistance responses, primers were designed for the 14 that were most strongly up-regulated, and their levels of expression were measured at 12 time points from 0 to 27 days after inoculation (DAI) in two resistant and two susceptible cultivars of wheat by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. None of these genes was expressed constitutively in the resistant wheat cultivars. Instead, infection of wheat by M. graminicola induced changes in expression of each gene in both resistant and susceptible cultivars over time. The four genes chitinase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, pathogenesis-related protein PR-1, and peroxidase were induced from about 10- to 60-fold at early stages (3h–1 DAI) during the incompatible interactions but were not expressed at later time points. Nine other genes (ATPase, brassinosteroid-6-oxidase, peptidylprolyl isomerase, peroxidase 2, 40S ribosomal protein, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, putative protease inhibitor, methionine sulfoxide reductase, and an RNase S-like protein precursor) had bimodal patterns with both early (1–3 DAI) and late (12–24 DAI) peaks of expression in at least one of the resistant cultivars, but low if any induction in the two susceptible cultivars. The remaining gene (a serine carboxypeptidase) had a trimodal pattern of expression in the resistant cultivar Tadinia. These results indicate that the resistance response of wheat to M. graminicola is not completed during the first 24h after contact with the pathogen, as thought previously, but instead can extend into the period from 18 to 24 DAI when fungal growth increases dramatically in compatible interactions. Many of these genes have a possible function in signal transduction or possibly as regulatory elements. Expression of the PR-1 gene at 12h after inoculation was much higher in resistant compared to susceptible recombinant-inbred lines (RILs) segregating for the Stb4 and Stb8 genes for resistance. Therefore, analysis of gene expression could provide a faster method for separating resistant from susceptible lines in research programs. Significant differential expression patterns of the defense-related genes between the resistant and susceptible wheat cultivars and RILs after inoculation with M. graminicola suggest that these genes may play a major role in the resistance mechanisms of wheat.

AB  - A literature review shows that dispersion coefficients in fluidized beds differ by more than five orders of magnitude. To understand the phenomena, two types of hydrodynamics models that compute turbulent and bubbling behavior were used to estimate radial and axial gas and solid dispersion coefficients. The autocorrelation technique was used to compute the dispersion coefficients from the respective computed turbulent gas and particle velocities. The computations show that the gas and the solid dispersion coefficients are close to each other in agreement with measurements. The simulations show that the radial dispersion coefficients in the riser are two to three orders of magnitude lower than the axial dispersion coefficients, but less than an order of magnitude lower for the bubbling bed at atmospheric pressure. The dispersion coefficients for the bubbling bed at 25atm are much higher than at atmospheric pressure due to the high bed expansion with smaller bubbles. The computed dispersion coefficients are in reasonable agreement with the experimental measurements reported over the last half century. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Burn severity is mapped after wildfires to evaluate immediate and long-term fire effects on the landscape. Remotely sensed hyperspectral imagery has the potential to provide important information about fine-scale ground cover components that are indicative of burn severity after large wildland fires. Airborne hyperspectral imagery and ground data were collected after the 2002 Hayman Fire in Colorado to assess the application of high resolution imagery for burn severity mapping and to compare it to standard burn severity mapping methods. Mixture Tuned Matched Filtering (MTMF), a partial spectral unmixing algorithm, was used to identify the spectral abundance of ash, soil, and scorched and green vegetation in the burned area. The overall performance of the MTMF for predicting the ground cover components was satisfactory (r 2 =0.21 to 0.48) based on a comparison to fractional ash, soil, and vegetation cover measured on ground validation plots. The relationship between Landsat-derived differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) values and the ground data was also evaluated (r 2 =0.20 to 0.58) and found to be comparable to the MTMF. However, the quantitative information provided by the fine-scale hyperspectral imagery makes it possible to more accurately assess the effects of the fire on the soil surface by identifying discrete ground cover characteristics. These surface effects, especially soil and ash cover and the lack of any remaining vegetative cover, directly relate to potential postfire watershed response processes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Levan polysaccharide used in this study was microbially produced from Bacillus sp. Levan was first blended with glycerol and a concurrent change in glass transition temperature (T g) using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was observed. Levan was made into films by pressing the levan/glycerol blends on a heated compression molder. It was found that films with 20–30 weight percent (wt%) glycerol made cohesive, pliable films. However, films with less than 10wt% glycerol were too brittle to handle and test. Films with greater than 30wt% glycerol were not cohesive and were more “liquid”-like than “solid”-like. It was found that 20wt% glycerol was a critical point for effective levan plasticization. Based on the compression-molding data, levan was extruded using optimal glycerol contents and heating regimes. Efficient extrusion of levan/glycerol blends required at least 35% glycerol, indicating extrusion may better incorporate glycerol into the levan structure over room temperature mixing and heated compression-molding. Adding water to the blend, either by replacing glycerol or levan, greatly reduced extrusion viscosity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The effect of mild heat fruit pre-treatment on some properties of fresh-cut cantaloupe melon during storage was determined. Whole fruit, previously held at 4°C, was immersed in heated water (60°C) with and without dissolved calcium lactate (1%). Fresh-cut processing was done immediately, either after treatment or after storage at 4°C for 24h. Headspace gas accumulation during storage indicated reduced respiration in heat-treated fruit. Reduced lipase activity occurred in heat treated fruit during storage at 10°C, while the fruit that was cut 24h after treatment had a reduced peroxidase activity, unlike fruit that was processed immediately after heating. Isoelectric focussing indicated production of heat shock proteins (PI=5.1 and 6.5) as a result of heat-treatment. Textural measurements showed increased hardness, chewiness and cohesiveness, but springiness decreased in heat-treated fruit. Presence of calcium in the treatment solution did not affect respiration and textural changes caused by heat treatment. Lipase activity was, however, higher in fruit heated in calcium solutions. Results indicated the potential improvement of shelf life of cut cantaloupe melon by mild heat pre-treatment of the fruit, and that the addition of calcium to the treatment water did not further improve product quality.

AB  - Moisture management remains the most critical factor for controlling mold growth on wood and wood products during storage, construction, and while in service. When moisture management practices fail to adequately control moisture, plant extracts demonstrating antifungal properties may provide protection for these applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal properties of natural plant extracts, such as essential oils, for use on wood. Seven essential oils were evaluated for their ability to inhibit growth of Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, and Penicillium chrysogenum on southern yellow pine (SYP) stakes that were either dip treated or exposed to vapors of the test oils. Thyme and Egyptian geranium oil inhibited growth of all test fungi for 20 weeks. Likewise, dill weed oil vapors inhibited all test fungi for at least 20 weeks. Comparison of two mold test apparatuses—Petri dish test and tank test chambers—gave similar results for thyme oil. These findings support the application of essential oils for surface treatment or vapor exposure of wood to prevent mold infestation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In Afghanistan, after two decades of civil strife and successive droughts from 1998 to 2002, large inflows of food aid, distributed mainly to returning refugees and through food for work programs, have helped offset production shortfalls of wheat, the country’s major staple. At the same time, private international trade from neighboring countries, especially Pakistan, has also played a major role in augmenting wheat supply and stabilizing prices. This paper presents an analysis of wheat prices and market flows in Afghanistan based on results of surveys of wheat traders and millers, and econometric analysis of price movements in major markets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In spite of food aid imports, domestic prices were not lowered below import parity levels in most major Afghan markets. Thus, the price evidence suggests that large-scale inflows of food aid, which benefited the country by providing resources for targeted food for work and other programs, did not have major price disincentive effects on domestic production, at least through mid-2003. However, following the 2003 bumper harvest, the analysis suggests that continued food aid inflows may have depressed producer prices by as much as about 15%. Moreover, given substantial prospects for rehabilitation of irrigation infrastructure, there is ample scope for increasing domestic production of wheat and decreasing import demand, so price disincentive effects of food aid remain a possibility in the future, as well.

AB  - Abstract: Growth data of Salmonella in chicken were collected at several isothermal conditions (10, 15, 20, 25, 28, 32, 35, 37, 42, and 45°C) and were then fitted into primary models, namely the logistic model, modified Gompertz model and Baranyi model. Measures of goodness-of-fit such as mean square error, pseudo-R 2, −2 log likelihood, Akaike''s information, and Sawa''s Bayesian information criteria were used for comparison for these primary models. Based on these criteria, modified Gompertz model described growth data the best, followed by the Baranyi model, and then the logistic model. The maximum growth rates obtained from each primary model were then modeled as a function of temperature using the modified Ratkowsky model. Pseudo-R 2 values for this secondary model describing growth rate obtained from Baranyi, modified Gompertz, and logistic models were 0.999, 0.980, and 0.990, respectively. Mean square error values for corresponding models were 0.0002, 0.0008, and 0.0009, respectively. Both measures clearly show that the Baranyi model performed better than the modified Gompertz model or the logistic model. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Fruit ripening is a developmental process that is exclusive to plants whereby mature seed-bearing organs undergo physiological and metabolic changes that promote seed dispersal. Molecular investigations into ripening control mechanisms have been aided by the recent cloning of tomato ripening genes that were previously known only through mutation. Advances in the genomics of tomato have provided genetic and molecular tools that have facilitated the positional and candidate-gene-based cloning of several key ripening genes. These discoveries have created new inroads into understanding of the primary ripening control mechanisms, including transcription factors such as those encoded by the RIPENING-INHIBITOR (RIN) MADS-box and COLOURLESS NON-RIPENING (CNR) SPB-box genes, which are necessary for the progression of virtually all ripening processes. They have also facilitated the elucidation of downstream signal transduction components that impact the hormonal and environmental stimuli that coordinate and modulate ripening phenotypes.

AB  - Oilseeds provide a unique platform for the production of high-value fatty acids that can replace non-sustainable petroleum and oceanic sources of specialty chemicals and aquaculture feed. However, recent efforts to engineer the seeds of crop and model plant species to produce new types of fatty acids, including hydroxy and conjugated fatty acids for industrial uses and long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for farmed fish feed, have met with only modest success. The collective results from these studies point to metabolic ‘bottlenecks’ in the engineered plant seeds that substantially limit the efficient or selective flux of unusual fatty acids between different substrate pools and ultimately into storage triacylglycerol. Evidence is emerging that diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, which catalyzes the final step in triacylglycerol assembly, is an important contributor to the synthesis of unusual fatty acid-containing oils, and is likely to be a key target for future oilseed metabolic engineering efforts.

AB  - The paste viscosity of starches Amioca (∼0.5% amylose), native corn (∼27% amylose), Nylon VII (-.70% amylose), tapioca (-19% amylose), and their whey protein isolate (WPI; 50/50) mixtures at varying solid concentration of 2.5,5, 10, 15 and 20% were determined. At higher gel concentration (20%) during the cooling cycle, WPI paste measured by rapid visco-analyser (RVA) showed a tremendous increase in viscosity over that of the micro visco-amylograph (MVA), 5784 and 184cP, respectively. RVA gels had a more uniform network of coarse particles (∼250-500 nm) than the fine structures (-50 nm) in those of the MVA. Inclusion of WPI reduced the paste viscosity of all starches by at least 50%, except for Hylon VII at 20% solid concentration. The strength of Hylon VII and corn starch gels was reduced by WPI. In contrast, gels of WPI/tapioca (G′ = 45.4 Pa) and WPI/amioca (G′ = 18.3 Pa) had similar rheolog- ical properties as their pure starch control (G′ = 47.4Pa and G′ = 15.3 Pa for Tapioca and Amioca, respectively).

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this research was to develop methods for simulating the heat transfer process during pasteurization of frankfurter in single layer packages by hot water immersion to inactivate Listeria monocytogenes. A computer simulation program based on finite difference analysis was developed to simulate the temperature distributions within the frankfurter packages. This program was first used to estimate the apparent thermal diffusivity and surface heat transfer coefficients during the heating and cooling of frankfurters. Then this computer program was used to simulate the heat transfer processes during hot water pasteurization of frankfurters. The results of computer simulation indicated that the simulated temperature histories were in close agreement with the experimentally observed curves, both at the center and on the surface of the packages. The computer simulation model was biologically validated with frankfurters surfaced-inoculated with freshly grown L. monocytogenes. The observed bacterial reductions were generally 1–2 logs higher than those calculated by the General Method when the heating time was short. The theoretical calculation was more accurate when the heating time was long and the total inactivation was >5 logs. In general, the result of computer simulation for calculating the log reduction was more conservative than the experimental observations, therefore suitable for designing processes to ensure the safety of products and to reduce the incidence of foodborne listeriosis associated with RTE meats.

AB  - Abstract: We investigated proteomic and genomic profiles of glycinin, a family of major storage proteins in 16 different soybean genotypes consisting of four groups including wild soybean (Glycine soja), unimproved cultivated soybean landraces from Asia (G. max), ancestors of N. American soybean (G. max), and modern soybean (G. max) genotypes. We observed considerable variation in all five glycinin subunits, G1, G2 G3, G4 and G5 using proteomics and genetic analysis. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis showed that the wild genotypes had a range of 25–29 glycinin protein spots that included both acidic and basic polypeptides followed by the ancestors with 24–28, modern cultivars with 24–25, and landraces with 17–23 protein spots. Overall, the wild genotypes have a higher number of protein spots when compared to the other three genotypes. Major variation was observed in acidic polypeptides of G3, G4 and G5 compared to G1 and G2, and minor variation was observed in basic polypeptides of all subunits. Our data indicated that there are major variations of glycinin subunits between wild and cultivated genotypes rather than within the same groups. Based on Southern blot DNA analysis, we observed genetic polymorphisms in group I genes (G1, G2, and G3) between and within the four genotype groups, but not in group II genes (G4 and G5). This is the first study reporting the comparative analysis of glycinin in a diverse set of soybean genotypes using combined proteomic and genetic analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the hydrogen-bond networks formed by 54 linear and branched alcohols containing 5–20 carbon atoms, and the results show systematic differences in their hydrogen-bonded structures, depending both on hydroxyl group position and the alcohol''s molecular weight. The hydrogen-bonded networks within these pure solvents correspond with experimentally determined water capacities for solvents in four main structural classes. These categories are: primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and alcohols with the branching point removed from the hydroxyl group. Each of these structural classes exhibits unique behavior in the correlation between the extended hydrogen-bond networks and observed capacities for water. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was established in coffee seedlings after fungal spore suspensions were applied as foliar sprays, stem injections, or soil drenches. Direct injection yielded the highest post-inoculation recovery of endophytic B. bassiana. Establishment, based on percent recovery of B. bassiana, decreased as time post-inoculation increased in all treatments. Several other endophytes were isolated from the seedlings and could have negatively influenced establishment of B. bassiana. The recovery of B. bassiana from sites distant from the point of inoculation indicates that the fungus has the potential to move throughout the plant. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The activation energy for crystallization as determined by the Kissinger equation is nearly equal for the particle-free powder (3.13±0.40eV) and the composite (3.11±0.22eV). The activation energy of crystallization derived from isothermal annealing experiments is nearly similar for the GAP (4.53±0.40eV) and the composite (4.25±0.40eV). The values of the Avrami exponent suggest that the crystallization is diffusion controlled. The local Avrami exponent suggests that surface nucleation is active in GAP but bulk crystallization dominates in milled composite powder. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The production of mesons in scattering in the range of exchanged photon virtuality has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb−1. The decay channels with and corresponding antiparticle decay were used to identify mesons and the ZEUS beampipe calorimeter was used to identify the scattered electron. Differential cross sections as functions of , inelasticity, y, transverse momentum of the meson, , and pseudorapidity of the meson, , have been measured in the kinematic region , and . The measured differential cross sections are in agreement with two different NLO QCD calculations. The cross sections are also compared to previous ZEUS measurements in the photoproduction and DIS regimes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Action of human small intestinal brush border carbohydrate digesting enzymes is thought to involve only final hydrolysis reactions of oligosaccharides to monosaccharides. In vitro starch digestibility assays use fungal amyloglucosidase to provide this function. In this study, recombinant N-terminal subunit enzyme of human small intestinal maltase-glucoamylase (rhMGAM-N) was used to explore digestion of native starches from different botanical sources. The susceptibilities to enzyme hydrolysis varied among the starches. The rate and extent of hydrolysis of amylomaize-5 and amylomaize-7 into glucose were greater than for other starches. Such was not observed with fungal amyloglucosidase or pancreatic α-amylase. The degradation of native starch granules showed a surface furrowed pattern in random, radial, or tree-like arrangements that differed substantially from the erosion patterns of amyloglucosidase or α-amylase. The evidence of raw starch granule degradation with rhMGAM-N indicates that pancreatic α-amylase hydrolysis is not a requirement for native starch digestion in the human small intestine.

AB  - Abstract: Extruded whey protein concentrate (WPC) and extruded whey protein isolate (WPI) are new food materials that may be used to fortify foods, and as such, the effects of drying on their physical properties need to be investigated for efficiency in milling and blending. Extruded WPC and extruded WPI at an initial moisture content of about 30% w.b. and 37% w.b., respectively, were dried to a final moisture of about 21% w.b. at 40°C and to a final moisture of about 14% w.b. at 70°C. Color, density, and texture measurements were made as a function of drying time. No significant change in color was observed at 40°C or 70°C for either material as it dried. Density increased slightly with drying time for extruded WPC at 40°C and 70°C, and extruded WPI at 70°C. Texture, measured as linear distance, increased in magnitude with drying time. Significant differences (p <0.05) in texture at a drying time of 90min, corresponding with a moisture of about 20% w.b. to 25% w.b. for extruded WPC and extruded WPI, were observed. Such a transition in texture may indicate that drying to a moisture of 20% w.b. to 25% w.b. is adequate for extruded whey proteins. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ionizing radiation effectively inactivates Escherichia coli O157:H7, but the efficacy of the process against biofilm cells versus that against free-living planktonic cells is not well documented. The radiation sensitivity of planktonic or biofilm cells was determined for three isolates of E. coli O157:H7 (C9490, ATCC 35150, and ATCC 43894). Biofilms were formed on sterile glass slides incubated at 37°C for either 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h. The biofilm and planktonic cultures were gamma irradiated at doses ranging from 0.0 (control) to 1.5 kGy. The dose of radiation value required to reduce the population by 90% (D10) was calculated for each isolate, culture, and maturity based on viable populations at each radiation dose. For each of the times sampled, the D10 values of isolate 43894 planktonic cells (0.454 to 0.479 kGy) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those observed for biofilm cells (0.381 to 0.385 kGy), indicating a significantly increased sensitivity to irradiation for cells in the biofilm habitat. At the 24-h sampling time, isolate C9490 showed a similar pattern, in which the D10 values of planktonic cells (0.653 kGy) were significantly higher than those for biofilm cells (0.479 kGy), while isolate 35150 showed the reverse, with D10 values of planktonic cells (0.396 kGy) significantly lower than those for biofilm cells (0.526 kGy). At the 48-h and 72-h sampling times, there were no differences in radiation sensitivities based on biofilm habitat for C9490 or 35150. Biofilm-associated cells, therefore, show a response to irradiation which can differ from that of planktonic counterparts, depending on the isolate and the culture maturity. Culture maturity had a more significant influence on the irradiation efficacy of planktonic cells but not on biofilm-associated cells of E. coli O157:H7. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A microwave heating system equipped with a proportional–integral–differential (PID) control device was developed for in-package pasteurization of ready-to-eat meats. Frankfurters, inoculated and vacuum-sealed in plastic packages, were subjected to microwave or water immersion heating, with the package surface temperature increased to and maintained at 65, 75, or 85°C, for different periods of time, ranging from 2 to 19min in total heating time. During microwave heating, the surface temperature of frankfurter packages increased linearly with the heating time until it reached a set point. The concentration of Listeria monocytogenes decreased linearly with heating time. The observed rate of bacterial inactivation was 0.41, 0.65, and 0.94log(CFU/pk)/min at the surface temperature of 65, 75, or 85°C. When compared with water immersion heating at the same surface temperatures, the overall rate of bacterial inactivation was 30%–75% higher with microwave in-package pasteurization. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a PID-controlled microwave heating process for in-package pasteurization of frankfurters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The inheritance of yield-related traits in melon ( Cucumis melo L.; 2 n = 2 x = 24) is poorly understood, and the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for such traits has not been reported. Therefore, a set of 81 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) was developed from a cross between the monoecious, highly branched line USDA 846-1 and a standard vining, andromonoecious cultivar, ‘Top Mark’. The RIL, parental lines, and three control cultivars (‘Esteem’, ‘Sol Dorado’, and ‘Hales Best Jumbo’) were grown at Hancock, WI and El Centro, CA in 2002, and evaluated for primary branch number (PB), fruit number per plant (FN), fruit weight per plant (FW), average weight per fruit (AWF), and percentage of mature fruit per plot (PMF). A 190-point genetic map was constructed using 114 RAPD, 43 SSR, 32 AFLP markers, and one phenotypic trait. Fifteen linkage groups spanned 1,116 cM with a mean marker interval of 5.9 cM. A total of 37 QTL were detected in both locations (PB = 6, FN = 9, FW = 12, AWF = 5, and PMF = 5). QTL analyses revealed four location-independent factors for PB ( pb1.1, pb1.2, pb2.3, and pb10.5), five for FN ( fn1.1, fn1.2, fn1.3, fn2.4, and fn8.8), four for FW ( fw5.8, fw6.10, fw8.11, and fw8.12), two for AWF ( awf1.3 and awf8.5), and one for PMF ( pmf10.4). The significant ( P ≤ 0.05) positive phenotypic correlations observed among PB, FN, and FW, and negative phenotypic correlations between PB and AWF and between FN and AWF were consistent with the genomic locations and effects (negative vs. positive) of the QTL detected. Results indicate that genes resident in highly branched melon types have potential for increasing yield in US Western Shipping type germplasm via marker-assisted selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Potato virus Y (PVY) and potato leafroll virus (PLRV) are two of the most important viral pathogens of potato. Infection of potato by these viruses results in losses of yield and quality in commercial production and in the rejection of seed in certification programs. Host plant resistance to these two viruses was identified in the backcross progeny of a Solanum etuberosum Lindl. somatic hybrid. Multiple years of field evaluations with high-virus inoculum and aphid populations have shown the PVY and PLRV resistances of S. etuberosum to be stably expressed in two generations of progeny. However, while PLRV resistance was transmitted and expressed in the third generation of backcrossing to cultivated potato ( Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. tuberosum), PVY resistance was lost. PLRV resistance appears to be monogenic based on the inheritance of resistance in a BC3 population. Data from a previous evaluation of the BC2 progeny used in this study provides evidence that PLRV resistance was partly conferred by reduced PLRV accumulation in foliage. The field and grafting data presented in this study suggests that resistance to the systemic spread of PLRV from infected foliage to tubers also contributes to the observed resistance from S. etuberosum. The PLRV resistance contributed by S. etuberosum is stably transmitted and expressed through sexual generations and therefore would be useful to potato breeders for the development of PLRV resistant potato cultivars.

AB  - Abstract: An oscillatory capillary rheometer was used to investigate the effects of NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2 on visco-elastic properties of xanthan and locust bean gum (LBG) blends in dilute solution. Gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and elastic component. Molecular conformation of the xanthan–LBG complex was assessed by the power-law and Huggins equations. Addition of any of the three salts reduced significantly the intrinsic viscosity and elastic component of the gum blends, with a pronounced effect from divalent ions, compared with monovalent ions. The 60% xanthan–40% LBG blend exhibited the strongest attraction between xanthan and LBG. For the three salts, the attraction weakened when 5-mM salt was added and vanished with the addition of 50-mM salt. The strongest attraction between xanthan and LBG molecules was also evidenced by a positive Huggins miscibility coefficient K m, and a positive attraction–repulsion coefficient α. With addition of 50mM of any of the three salts, the coefficient α became negative, suggesting a strong repulsion between the two gums. The power-law coefficient b increased as salt concentration and LBG fraction increased in the blends for the three salts, suggesting a more flexible xanthan–LBG complex dependent on salt concentrations and LBG.

AB  - Background  In case of influenza pandemic, a robust, easy and clean technique to prepare reassortants would be necessary. Objectives  Using reverse genetics, we prepared two vaccine reassortants (A/H5N1 × PR8 and A/H7N1 × PR8) exhibiting the envelope glycoproteins from non-pathogenic avian viruses, A/Turkey/Wisconsin/68 (A/H5N9) and A/Rhea/New Caledonia/39482/93 (A/H7N1) and the internal proteins of the attenuated human virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1). Methods  The transfection was accomplished using a mixture of Vero and chicken embryo cells both of which are currently being used for vaccine manufacturing. Results  This process was reproducible, resulting in consistent recovery of influenza viruses in 6 days. Because it is mainly the A/H5N1 strain that has recently crossed the human barrier, it is the A/PR8 × A/H5N1 reassortant (RG5) that was further amplified, either in embryonated hen eggs or Vero cells, to produce vaccine pre-master seed stocks that met quality control specifications. Safety testing in chickens and ferrets was performed to assess the non-virulence of the reassortant, and finally analysis using chicken and ferret sera immunized with the RG5 virus showed that the vaccine candidate elicited an antibody response cross-reactive with the Hong Kong 1997 and 2003 H5N1 strains but not the Vietnam/2004 viruses. Conclusions  The seeds obtained could be used as part of a pandemic vaccine strain ‘library’ available in case of propagation in humans of a new highly pathogenic avian strain.

AB  - Abstract: Geological sequestration of CO2 in depleted oil reservoirs is a potentially useful strategy for greenhouse gas management and can be combined with enhanced oil recovery. Development of methods to estimate CO2 leakage rates is essential to assure that storage objectives are being met at sequestration facilities. Perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs) were added as three 12h slugs at about one week intervals during the injection of 2090 tons of CO2 into the West Pearl Queen (WPQ) depleted oil formation, sequestration pilot study site located in SE New Mexico. The CO2 was injected into the Permian Queen Formation. Leakage was monitored in soil–gas using a matrix of 40 capillary adsorbent tubes (CATs) left in the soil for periods ranging from days to months. The tracers, perfluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane (PDCH), perfluorotrimethylcyclohexane (PTCH) and perfluorodimethylcyclobutane (PDCB), were analyzed using thermal desorption, and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Monitoring was designed to look for immediate leakage, such as at the injection well bore and at nearby wells, and to develop the technology to estimate overall CO2 leak rates based on the use of PFTs. Tracers were detected in soil–gas at the monitoring sites 50m from the injection well within days of injection. Tracers continued to escape over the following years. Leakage appears to have emanated from the vicinity of the injection well in a radial pattern to about 100m and in directional patterns to 300m. Leakage rates were estimated for the 3 tracers from each of the 4 sets of CATs in place following the start of CO2 injection. Leakage was fairly uniform during this period. As a first approximation, the CO2 leak rate was estimated at about 0.0085% of the total CO2 sequestered per annum. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A common hydrodynamic feature in heavily loaded circulating fluidized beds is the presence of clusters. The continuous formation and destruction of clusters strongly influences particle hold-up, pressure drop, heat transfer at the wall, and mixing. In this paper fiber optic data is analyzed using discrete wavelet analysis to characterize the dynamic behavior of clusters. Five radial positions at three different axial locations under five different operating conditions spanning three different flow regimes were analyzed using discrete wavelets. Results are summarized with respect to cluster size and frequency. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Steryl ferulates (esters of phytosterols and ferulic acid) have long been studied for their health-promoting properties, partially owing to their capacity to inhibit oxidation. The good heat-stability of rice bran oil has been attributed to its high content of steryl ferulates and tocopherols. It has been suggested that these compounds have a synergistic effect as antioxidants. In this model experiment, we determined the capacity of sitostanyl ferulate and α-tocopherol (alone or as a mixture) to prevent polymerization of high oleic sunflower oil at 100 and 180°C. The formation of polymers was significantly reduced at both temperatures and by both antioxidants, as well as their mixture, though no synergistic effect was seen. Further, we followed the decrease in antioxidant levels and found that sitostanyl ferulate was degraded at a lower rate than α-tocopherol, indicating that sitostanyl ferulate is a promising antioxidant for high temperature applications.

AB  - Abstract: Female mutant restricted ovulator (RO) chickens of the White Leghorn strain carry a naturally occurring single nucleotide mutation in the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) gene. Due to this mutation, RO hens fail to express a functional VLDLR protein on the oocyte membrane, which results in an impaired uptake of circulating yolk precursor macromolecules. Mutant RO hens subsequently develop hyperlipidemia and generally fail to lay eggs due to follicular atresia. Since RO hens also reportedly have three-fold higher basal plasma estrogen concentrations, combined with four-fold lower levels of circulating progesterone as compared to wild-type (WT) hens, we hypothesized that RO hens would have an increased abundance of pituitary progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA and PR isoforms A and B as well as alterations in circulating gonadotrophin levels. Quantitative PCR assays revealed significantly greater (P ≤0.05) pituitary PR mRNA abundance in RO hens as compared to WT hens. Similarly, pituitary PR isoforms A and B quantities were significantly greater (P ≤0.05) in the RO hens compared to WT hens. In addition, mutant RO hens had significantly greater plasma concentrations of luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estrone, and estradiol, but lower circulating progesterone levels. Collectively, elevated circulating estrogen and/or decreased progesterone levels may have contributed to the upregulation of PR mRNA and PR isoforms A and B in the RO hen pituitary gland. Lastly, in order to gain a more complete understanding of why RO hens are reproductively dysfunctional, a model is proposed that links humoral and ovarian factors to observed and putative changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

The kinematic range is and , where is the virtuality of the exchanged boson and x is the Bjorken variable. The data are compared with a model based on a combination of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations with next-to-leading-logarithm corrections and the Dokshitzer–Webber non-perturbative power corrections. The power-correction method provides a reasonable description of the data for all event-shape variables studied. Nevertheless, the lack of consistency of the determination of and of the non-perturbative parameter of the model, , suggests the importance of higher-order processes that are not yet included in the model.

AB  - To achieve very low NOx emission levels, lean-premixed gas turbine combustors have been commercially implemented that operate near the fuel-lean flame extinction limit. Near the lean limit, however, flashback, lean blow off, and combustion dynamics have appeared as problems during operation. To help address these operational problems, a combustion control and diagnostics sensor (CCADS) for gas turbine combustors is being developed. CCADS uses the electrical properties of the flame to detect key events and monitor critical operating parameters within the combustor. Previous development efforts have shown the capability of CCADS to monitor flashback and equivalence ratio. Recent work has focused on detecting and measuring combustion instabilities. A highly instrumented atmospheric combustor has been used to measure the pressure oscillations in the combustor, the OH emission, and the flame ion field at the premix injector outlet and along the walls of the combustor. This instrumentation allows examination of the downstream extent of the combustion field using both the OH emission and the corresponding electron and ion distribution near the walls of the combustor. In most cases, the strongest pressure oscillation dominates the frequency behavior of the OH emission and the flame ion signals. Using this highly instrumented combustor, tests were run over a matrix of equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 0.8, with an inlet reference velocity of 25 m/s (82 ft/s). The acoustics of the fuel system for the combustor were tuned using an active-passive technique with an adjustable quarter-wave resonator. Although several statistics were investigated for correlation with the dynamic pressure in the combustor, the best correlation was found with the standard deviation of the guard current. The data show a monotonic relationship between the standard deviation of the guard current (the current through the flame at the premix injector outlet) and the standard deviation of the chamber pressure. Therefore, the relationship between the standard deviation of the guard current and the standard deviation of the pressure is the most promising for monitoring the dynamic pressure of the combustor using the flame ionization signal. This addition to the capabilities of CCADS would allow for dynamic pressure monitoring on commercial gas turbines without a pressure transducer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Stable isotopes can be used to elucidate ecological relationships in community and trophic studies. Findings are calibrated against baselines, e.g. from a producer or primary consumer, assumed to act as a reference to the isotopic context created by spatio-temporal attributes such as geography, climate, nutrient, and energy sources. The ability of an organism to accurately represent a community base depends on how, and over what time-scale, it assimilates ambient materials. Freshwater mussels have served as references for trophic studies of freshwater communities and as indicators of change in nutrient pollution load or source. Their suitability as reference animals has not yet been fully explored, however. We conducted a series of studies examining the suitability of freshwater mussels as isotopic baselines, using their ability to reflect variation in ambient nutrient loads as a case scenario. (1) We analyzed bivalve foot tissue δ15N and δ13C from 22 stream reaches in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, USA to show that compositions varied substantially among locations. Site mean bivalve δ13C values correlated with site ambient particulate organic matter (POM) δ13C values, and site mean bivalve δ15N values correlated with site ambient water dissolved δ15N-NO3 values. (2) Similarity of results among sample types demonstrated that the minimally invasive hemolymph sample is a suitable substitute for foot tissue in δ15N analyses, and that small sample sizes generate means representative of a larger population. Both findings can help minimize the impact of sampling on imperiled freshwater mussel populations. (3) In a bivalve transplantation study we showed that hemolymph δ15N compositions responded to a shift in ambient dissolved δ15N-NO3, although slowly. The tissue turnover time for bivalve hemolymph was 113 days. We conclude that bivalves serve best as biomonitors of chronic, rather than acute, fluctuations in stream nutrient loads, and provide initial evidence of their suitability as time-integrated isotopic baselines for community studies.

AB  - Abstract: Zea mays often is colonized with the fungus Gibberella moniliformis, which produces fumonisin toxins. The role of fumonisins in seedling colonization and blight was studied using complementary genetic analyses of host and pathogen. Only one of two fumonisin B1 (FB1)-insensitive maize backcross lines was more resistant than the FB1-sensitive parent to seedling blight, indicating that the increase in FB1-insensitivity was not associated with an increase in resistance. FB1-producing and nonproducing isogenic fungal strains did not differ in ability to cause seedling blight, but the FB1-producing strain was more effective in systemic colonization of seedlings in reciprocal strain challenge tests. Together, these and previous results indicate that the role of fumonisins depends on complex environmental and genetic contexts in this host–pathogen interaction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

For Arcobacter, 93.7% (n =163) were resistant to one or more antimicrobials and 71.8% (n =125) were resistant to two or more antimicrobials. For Campylobacter, 99.5% (n =214) were resistant to one or more antimicrobials and 28.4% (n =61) were resistant to two or more antimicrobials. Arcobacter butzleri isolates were particularly resistant to clindamycin (90%; n =126), azithromycin (81.4%; n =114) and nalidixic acid (23.6%; n =33). Resistance to tetracycline was very high in Campylobacter jejuni (99.5%) and Campylobacter coli (96.3%). Our results demonstrate substantial resistance in Arcobacter and Campylobacter to common antimicrobial agents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Intake of added sugars, mainly fructose and sucrose, has been associated with risk factors for cognitive impairment, such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The objective of this analysis was to examine whether habitual intakes of total sugars, added sugars, sugar-sweetened beverages or sweetened solid foods are associated with cognitive function. The present study included 737 participants without diabetes, aged 45-75 years, from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, 2004-9. Cognitive function was measured with a battery of seven tests: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), word list learning, digit span, clock drawing, figure copying, and Stroop and verbal fluency tests. Usual dietary intake was assessed with a validated FFQ. Greater intakes of total sugars, added sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages, but not of sugar-sweetened solid foods, were significantly associated with lower MMSE score, after adjusting for covariates. Adjusted OR for cognitive impairment (MMSE score < 24) were 2·23 (95 % CI 1·24, 3·99) for total sugars and 2·28 (95 % CI 1·26, 4·14) for added sugars, comparing the highest with lowest intake quintiles. Greater intake of total sugars was also significantly associated with lower word list learning score. In conclusion, higher sugar intake appears to be associated with lower cognitive function, but longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the direction of causality.

AB  - Background and Aims: The APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster encodes key regulators of plasma lipids. Interactions between dietary factors and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cluster have been reported. Allostatic load, or physiological dysregulation in response to stress, has been implicated in shaping health disparities in ethnic groups. We aimed to determine the association between polymorphisms in the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 cluster with allostatic load parameters, alone, and in interaction with dietary fat intake in Puerto Ricans adults.Methods and Results: Data on demographic and anthropometric measures, lifestyle behaviors, and medication use, as well as blood and urine samples for biomarker analysis, were obtained from participants of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (n=821, age 45-75 y). The 12 polymorphisms analyzed were not associated with allostatic load parameters. Significant interactions were observed between dietary fat intake and APOA1-75 in association with waist circumference (WC), (P=0.005), APOC3-640 with diastolic blood pressure (DBP), (P=0.003), and APOA4 N147S and APOA5 S19W with systolic blood pressure (SBP), (P=0.001 and P=0.002, respectively). Puerto Ricans homozygous for the common allele of APOA1-75, APOA4 N147S and APOA5 S19W had lower WC and SBP when consuming <31% of total fat from energy, than participants with the minor allele. Participants heterozygous for APOC3-640 had lower DBP at total fat intake ≥31% from energy.Conclusion: SNPs in APOA1/C3/A4/A5, as modulated by dietary fat intake, appear to influence allostatic load parameters in Puerto Ricans.

AB  - Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Rosmarinic acid (RA), a caffeic acid-related compound found in high concentrations in Prunella vulgaris (self-heal), and ursolic acid (UA), a pentacyclic triterpene acid concentrated in Salvia officinalis (sage), have been traditionally used to treat inflammation in the mouth, and may also be beneficial for gastrointestinal health in general. Aim of the study: To investigate the permeabilities of RA and UA as pure compounds and in Prunella vulgaris and Salvia officinalis ethanol extracts across human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayers. Materials and methods: The permeabilities and phase II biotransformation of RA and UA as pure compounds and in herbal extracts were compared using Caco-2 cells with HPLC detection. Results: The apparent permeability coefficient (P app) for RA and RA in Prunella vulgaris extracts was 0.2±0.05×10−6 cm/s, significantly increased to 0.9±0.2×10−6 cm/s after β-glucuronidase/sulfatase treatment. P app for UA and UA in Salvia officinalis extract was 2.7±0.3×10−6 cm/s and 2.3±0.5×10−6 cm/s before and after β-glucuronidase/sulfatase treatment, respectively. Neither compound was affected in permeability by the herbal extract matrix. Conclusion: RA and UA in herbal extracts had similar uptake as that found using the pure compounds, which may simplify the prediction of compound efficacy, but the apparent lack of intestinal glucuronidation/sulfation of UA is likely to further enhance the bioavailability of that compound compared with RA.

AB  - Background: Fat mass is thought to be protective against osteoporosis, primarily because of its weight-bearing effect. Few studies have evaluated the association between abdominal fat mass (AFM) and bone health beyond its weight-bearing effect. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that higher body weight-adjusted AFM is associated with poor bone health. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 629 Puerto Rican adults aged 47-79 y. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck, trochanter, total femur, and lumbar spine (L2-L4) were measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). AFM and total fat mass (TFM) were assessed by using body-composition software from whole-body DXA scans. Osteoporosis and osteopenia were defined as T-scores </= -2.5 and -1.0 to -2.5 SD, respectively, at the respective bone site. Results: After confounders were controlled for, body weight-adjusted AFM was inversely associated with BMD at all 4 bone sites in women and at the femoral neck in men. For TFM, small inverse associations were seen at the trochanter and total femur in women. In men, similar associations were seen at the 3 femur sites. In both sexes, the odds for osteoporosis or osteopenia at each of the femoral sites increased by 10-16% for every 100-g increase in body weight-adjusted AFM. Conclusions: Higher AFM was associated with poor bone health in this Puerto Rican sample. Efforts to reduce abdominal obesity will not only reduce the risk of chronic disease but may also improve bone health.

AB  - Major phenolic compounds from basil, lemon thyme, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme were investigated using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profiling technique in combination with DPPH-radical scavenging, xanthine oxidase and cyclooxygenase assays. For the present study, 15 plant-derived phenolic compounds (gallic, protocatechuic, vanillic, syringic, chlorogenic, rosmarinic, caffeic, ferulic, and sinapic acids, protocatechualdehyde, vanillin, N-coumaroyltyramine, N-caffeoyltyramine, N-feruloyltyramine, and N-sinapoyltyramine) were selected and their DPPH-radical scavenging activities were first determined. Then, a standard HPLC profiling of these phenolics was constructed using an HPLC method to isolate anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory phenolic compounds from MeOH extracts of the plants. Rosmarinic acid was identified as a major anti-oxidant compound (0.22-0.97%) in all seven herbs, confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance. Rosmarinic acid from the plants quenched superoxide radicals from xanthine oxidase and inhibited cyclooxygenase I and II enzymes. In this study, the rosmarinic acid content of perilla was also determined and compared with those of the seven herbs.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Dietary fish-oil supplementation has been shown in human kinetic studies to lower the production rate of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, the major protein component of HDL. The underlying mechanism responsible for this effect is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effect and the mechanism of action of the very-long-chain n-3 (omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), relative to the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid (PA), on the hepatic expression of apo A-I in HepG2 cells. DESIGN: HepG2 cells were treated with different doses of DHA and PA (0-200 [mu]mol/L). mRNA expression levels of apo A-I were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and apo A-I protein concentrations were measured by immunoassay. DHA dose-dependently suppressed apo A-I mRNA levels and also lowered apo A-I protein concentrations in the media, with maximum effects at 200 [mu]mol/L. This concentration of fatty acids was used in all subsequent experiments. RESULTS: To elucidate the mechanism mediating the reduction in apo A-I expression by DHA, transfection experiments were conducted with plasmid constructs containing serial deletions of the apo A-I promoter. The DHA-responsive region was mapped to the -185 to -148 nucleotide region of the apo A-I promoter, which binds the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-3[beta]. Nuclear extracts from cells treated with DHA or PA had a similar nuclear abundance of HNF-3[beta]. However, electrophoresis mobility shift assays showed less binding of HNF-3[beta] to the -180 to -140 sequence of the apo A-I promoter than did PA-treated cells. As shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, less HNF-3[beta] was recruited to the apo A-I promoter in DHA-treated cells than in PA-treated cells, which supports the concept of an interference of DHA with the binding of HNF-3[beta] to the apo A-I promoter. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that, in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, DHA inhibits the binding of HNF-3[beta] to the apo A-I promoter, resulting in the repression of apo A-I promoter transactivity and thus a reduction in apo A-I expression.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The bioconversion efficiency of yellow maize [beta]-carotene to retinol in humans is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the vitamin A value of yellow maize [beta]-carotene in humans. DESIGN: High [beta]-carotene-containing yellow maize was grown in a hydroponic medium with 23 atom% (2)H(2)O during grain development. Yellow maize [beta]-carotene showed the highest abundance of enrichment as [(2)H(9)][beta]-carotene. Eight healthy Zimbabwean men volunteered for the study. On day 1 after a fasting blood draw, subjects consumed 300 g yellow maize porridge containing 1.2 mg [beta]-carotene, 20 g butter, and a 0.5-g corn oil capsule. On day 8, fasting blood was drawn, and subjects consumed 1 mg [(13)C(10)]retinyl acetate in a 0.5-g corn oil capsule and 300 g white maize porridge with 20 g butter. Thirty-six blood samples were collected from each subject over 36 d. Concentrations and enrichments of retinol and [beta]-carotene in labeled doses and serum were determined with the use of HPLC, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The area under the curve (AUC) of retinol from 1.2 mg yellow maize [beta]-carotene was 72.9 nmol · d, and the AUC of retinol from 1 mg retinyl acetate (13)C(10) was 161.1 nmol · d. The conversion factor of yellow maize [beta]-carotene to retinol by weight was 3.2 ± 1.5 to 1. CONCLUSION: In 8 healthy Zimbabwean men, 300 g cooked yellow maize containing 1.2 mg [beta]-carotene that was consumed with 20.5 g fat showed the same vitamin A activity as 0.38 mg retinol and provided 40-50% of the adult vitamin A Recommended Dietary Allowance.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Self-perceived lactose intolerance may result in adverse dietary modifications; thus, more studies are needed to understand the prevalence of self-perceived lactose intolerance and how it relates to calcium intake and selected health conditions. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the effects of self-perceived lactose intolerance as it relates to calcium intake and specific health problems that have been attributed to reduced intakes of calcium and dairy foods in a nationally representative multiethnic sample of adults. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study in a national sample of 3452 adults. The relation between self-perceived lactose intolerance, calcium intakes, and physician-diagnosed health conditions was analyzed by using linear regression analyses. RESULTS: Of the total sample, 12.3% of respondents perceived themselves to be lactose intolerant. The age-adjusted prevalence of self-perceived lactose intolerance was 7.8% for non-Hispanic whites, 20.1% for non-Hispanic blacks, and 8.8% for Hispanics. Respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance had significantly lower (P < 0.05) average daily calcium intakes from dairy foods than did those without self-perceived lactose intolerance. A significantly higher (P < 0.05) percentage of respondents with self-perceived lactose intolerance than of respondents without self-perceived lactose intolerance reported having physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension. The odds of self-reported physician-diagnosed diabetes or hypertension decreased by factors of 0.70 and 0.60, respectively, for a 1000-mg increase in calcium intake from dairy foods per day. CONCLUSIONS: Self-perceived lactose-intolerant respondents had a significantly lower calcium intake from dairy foods and reported having a significantly higher rate of physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been shown to be associated with dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, fatty liver, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It has been proposed that adverse metabolic effects of chronic consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages are a consequence of increased circulating glucose and insulin excursions, ie, dietary glycemic index (GI). OBJECTIVE: We determined whether the greater adverse effects of fructose than of glucose consumption were associated with glucose and insulin exposures. DESIGN: The subjects were studied in a metabolic facility and consumed energy-balanced diets containing 55% of energy as complex carbohydrate for 2 wk (GI = 64). The subjects then consumed 25% of energy requirements as fructose- or glucose-sweetened beverages along with their usual ad libitum diets for 8 wk at home and then as part of energy-balanced diets for 2 wk at the metabolic facility (fructose GI = 38, glucose GI = 83). The 24-h glucose and insulin profiles and fasting plasma glycated albumin and fructosamine concentrations were measured 0, 2, 8, and 10 wk after beverage consumption. RESULTS: Consumption of fructose-sweetened beverages lowered glucose and insulin postmeal peaks and the 23-h area under the curve compared with the baseline diet and with the consumption of glucose-sweetened beverages (all P < 0.001, effect of sugar). Plasma glycated albumin concentrations were lower 10 wk after fructose than after glucose consumption (P < 0.01, effect of sugar), whereas fructosamine concentrations did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the specific effects of fructose, but not of glucose and insulin excursions, contribute to the adverse effects of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages on lipids and insulin sensitivity.

AB  - Objective: To determine potential factors regulating gluconeogenesis (GNG) in extremely low birth weight infants receiving total parenteral nutrition.Study Design: Seven infants (birth weight, 0.824 ± 0.068 kg; gestational age, 25.4 ± 0.5 weeks; postnatal age, 3.3 ± 0.2 days) were studied for 11 hours, with parenteral lipid and amino acid therapy continued at prestudy rates. Glucose was supplied at prestudy rates for the first 5 hours (period 1) and was then reduced to 6 mg/kg·min for 1 hour and further to ~3 mg/kg·min for 5 hours (period 2). A total of 2.5 mg/kg·min of the glucose was replaced by [U-(13)C]glucose throughout the study for measurements of glucose production and GNG. Concentrations of glucose, insulin, glucagons, and cortisol were determined.Results: GNG and glucose production remained unchanged (2.12 ± 0.23 vs. 1.84 ± 0.25 mg/kg·min [P = NS] and 2.44 ± 0.27 vs. 2.51 ± 0.31 mg/kg·min [P = NS], respectively), despite a 60% reduction of the glucose infusion rate and subsequent 30% (124.7 ± 10.8 to 82.6 ± 8.9 mg/dL; P = .009) and 70% (26.9 ± 4.7 to 6.6 ± 0.4 μU/mL; P = .002) decreases in glucose and insulin concentrations, respectively. Cortisol and glucagon concentrations remained unchanged.Conclusion: In extremely low birth weight infants receiving total parenteral nutrition, GNG is a continuous process that is not affected by infusion rates of glucose or concentrations of glucose or insulin.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Phenylbutyrate is a drug used in patients with urea cycle disorder to elicit alternative pathways for nitrogen disposal. However, phenylbutyrate administration decreases plasma branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations, and previous research suggests that phenylbutyrate administration may increase leucine oxidation, which would indicate increased protein degradation and net protein loss. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of phenylbutyrate administration on whole-body protein metabolism, glutamine, leucine, and urea kinetics in healthy and ornithine transcarbamylase-deficient (OTCD) subjects and the possible benefits of BCAA supplementation during phenylbutyrate therapy. DESIGN: Seven healthy control and 7 partial-OTCD subjects received either phenylbutyrate or no treatment in a crossover design. In addition, the partial-OTCD and 3 null-OTCD subjects received phenylbutyrate and phenylbutyrate plus BCAA supplementation. A multitracer protocol was used to determine the whole-body fluxes of urea and amino acids of interest. RESULTS: Phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis by ~=15% without affecting the fluxes of leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, or glutamine and the oxidation of leucine or phenylalanine. The transfer of (15)N from glutamine to urea was reduced by 35%. However, a reduction in plasma concentrations of BCAAs due to phenylbutyrate treatment was observed. BCAA supplementation did not alter the respective baseline fluxes. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged phenylbutyrate administration reduced ureagenesis and the transfer of (15)N from glutamine to urea without parallel reductions in glutamine flux and concentration. There were no changes in total-body protein breakdown and amino acid catabolism, which suggests that phenylbutyrate can be used to dispose of nitrogen effectively without adverse effects on body protein economy.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Polyunsaturated fatty acids and fish may influence bone health. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine associations between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid and fish intakes and hip bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline (1988-1989; n = 854) and changes 4 y later in adults (n = 623) with a mean age of 75 y in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. DESIGN: BMD measures were regressed on energy-adjusted quartiles of fatty acid intakes [n-3 (omega-3): [alpha]-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and EPA+ DHA; n-6 (omega-6): linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA); and n-6:n-3 ratio] and on categorized fish intakes, with adjustment for covariates. Effect modification by EPA+DHA intake was tested for n-6 exposures. RESULTS: High intakes (>=3 servings/wk) of fish relative to lower intakes were associated with maintenance of femoral neck BMD (FN-BMD) in men (dark fish + tuna, dark fish, and tuna) and in women (dark fish) (P < 0.05). Significant interactions between AA and EPA+DHA intakes were observed cross-sectionally in women and longitudinally in men. In women with EPA+DHA intakes at or above the median, those with the highest AA intakes had a higher mean baseline FN-BMD than did those with the lowest intakes (quartile 4 compared with quartile 1: P = 0.03, P for trend = 0.02). In men with the lowest EPA+DHA intakes (quartile 1), those with the highest intakes of AA (quartile 4) lost more FN-BMD than did men with the lowest intakes of AA (quartile 1; P = 0.04). LA intake tended to be associated with FN-BMD loss in women (P for trend < 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: Fish consumption may protect against bone loss. The protective effects of a high AA intake may be dependent on the amount of EPA+DHA intake. © 2011 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Cranberry juice contains polyphenolic compounds that could improve endothelial function and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the effects of cranberry juice on vascular function in subjects with coronary artery disease. DESIGN: We completed an acute pilot study with no placebo (n = 15) and a chronic placebo-controlled crossover study (n = 44) that examined the effects of cranberry juice on vascular function in subjects with coronary artery disease. RESULTS: In the chronic crossover study, subjects with coronary heart disease consumed a research preparation of double-strength cranberry juice (54% juice, 835 mg total polyphenols, and 94 mg anthocyanins) or a matched placebo beverage (480 mL/d) for 4 wk each with a 2-wk rest period between beverages. Beverage order was randomly assigned, and participants refrained from consuming other flavonoid-containing beverages during the study. Vascular function was measured before and after each beverage, with follow-up testing >=12 h after consumption of the last beverage. Mean (±SD) carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, a measure of central aortic stiffness, decreased after cranberry juice (8.3 ± 2.3 to 7.8 ± 2.2 m/s) in contrast with an increase after placebo (8.0 ± 2.0 to 8.4 ± 2.8 m/s) (P = 0.003). Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, digital pulse amplitude tonometry, blood pressure, and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity did not change. In the uncontrolled pilot study, we observed improved brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (7.7 ± 2.9% to 8.7 ± 3.1%, P = 0.01) and digital pulse amplitude tonometry ratio (0.10 ± 0.12 to 0.23 ± 0.16, P = 0.001) 4 h after consumption of a single 480-mL portion of cranberry juice. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic cranberry juice consumption reduced carotid femoral pulse wave velocity-a clinically relevant measure of arterial stiffness. The uncontrolled pilot study suggested an acute benefit; however, no chronic effect on measures of endothelial vasodilator function was found. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00553904. © 2011 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - We analyze the temporal evolution of emerging fields within several scientific disciplines in terms of numbers of authors and publications. From bibliographic searches we construct databases of authors, papers, and their dates of publication. We show that the temporal development of each field, while different in detail, is well described by population contagion models, suitably adapted from epidemiology to reflect the dynamics of scientific interaction. Dynamical parameters are estimated and discussed to reflect fundamental characteristics of the field, such as time of apprenticeship and recruitment rate. We also show that fields are characterized by simple scaling laws relating numbers of new publications to new authors, with exponents that reflect increasing or decreasing returns in scientific productivity.

N2  - A Clean Energy Standard (CES) is a flexible, market-based policy instrument that could be adopted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the U.S. electricity system over time. This paper uses several well-known energy system and electricity models to analyze a CES that reflects broad principles outlined in President Obama's January 2011 State of the Union Address and in the Administration's subsequent Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future. In particular, it examines three different design options for a CES that would each lead to approximately 80% clean electricity by 2035. These different design options provide broadly similar economic incentives for clean energy deployment and yield similar overall welfare impacts, but they exhibit different distributional outcomes. The most inclusive CES crediting approach favors producers over consumers in competitive electricity markets as well as regions with larger initial endowments of clean energy. On the other hand, the most restrictive crediting approach favors consumers over producers and reduces preferences for regions with larger initial endowments of clean energy. While specific technology outcomes vary across the four models used in this study, key insights about cost-effectiveness and economic incidence are largely robust to the underlying modeling platform. These insights may be important considerations in future CES policy design efforts.

AB  - Long-term experiments are commonly used tools in agronomy, soil science and other disciplines for comparing the effects of different treatment regimes over an extended length of time. Periodic measurements, typically annual, are taken on experimental units and are often analysed by using customary tools and models for repeated measures. These models contain nothing that accounts for the random environmental variations that typically affect all experimental units simultaneously and can alter treatment effects. This added variability can dominate that from all other sources and can adversely influence the results of a statistical analysis and interfere with its interpretation. The effect that this has on the standard repeated measures analysis is quantified by using an alternative model that allows for random variations over time. This model, however, is not useful for analysis because the random effects are confounded with fixed effects that are already in the repeated measures model. Possible solutions are reviewed and recommendations are made for improving statistical analysis and interpretation in the presence of these extra random variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The process of quality control of micrometeorological and carbon dioxide (CO2) flux data can be subjective and may lack repeatability, which would undermine the results of many studies. Multivariate statistical methods and time series analysis were used together and independently to detect and replace outliers in CO2 flux data derived from a Bowen ratio energy balance system. The results were compared with those produced by five experts who applied the current and potentially subjective protocol. All protocols were tested on the same set of three 5-day periods, when measurements were conducted in an abandoned agricultural field. The concordance of the protocols was evaluated by using the experts’ opinion (mean ± 1.96 standard deviations) as a reference interval (the Bland–Altman method). Analysing the 15 days together, the statistical protocol that combined multivariate distance, multiple linear regression and time series analysis showed a concordance of 93% on a 20-min flux basis and 87% on a daily basis (only 2 days fell outside the reference interval), and the overall flux differed only by 1.7% (3.2 g CO2 m−2). An automated version of this or a similar statistical protocol could be used as a standard way of filling gaps and processing data from Bowen ratio energy balance and other techniques (e.g. eddy covariance). This would enforce objectivity in comparisons of CO2 flux data that are generated by different research groups and streamline the protocols for quality control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The present article articulates principles for effective public-private partnerships ( PPPs) in scientific research. Recognizing that PPPs represent one approach for creating research collaborations and that there are other methods outside the scope of this article, PPPs can be useful in leveraging diverse expertise among government, academic, and industry researchers to address public health needs and questions concerned with nutrition, health, food science, and food and ingredient safety. A three-step process was used to identify the principles proposed herein: step 1) review of existing PPP guidelines, both in the peer-reviewed literature and at 16 disparate non-industry organizations; step 2) analysis of relevant successful or promising PPPs; and step 3) formal background interviews of 27 experienced, senior-level individuals from academia, government, industry, foundations, and non-governmental organizations. This process resulted in the articulation of 12 potential principles for establishing and managing successful research PPPs. The review of existing guidelines showed that guidelines for research partnerships currently reside largely within institutions rather than in the peer-reviewed literature. This article aims to introduce these principles into the literature to serve as a framework for dialogue and for future PPPs. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Increased bioaerosol loadings in downwind plumes from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) may increase the risk for allergy and infection in humans. In this study, we monitored airborne concentrations of culturable bacteria and fungi at upwind (background) and downwind sites at a 10,000 milking cow dairy over the course of a year. The average bacterial concentrations at the upwind site were 8.4 × 103 colony forming units (CFU) m−3 and increased to 9.9 × 105 CFU m−3 at the downwind edge of the cattle lots, decreasing to 6.3 × 104 CFU m−3 200 m farther downwind. At the same sites, the average fungal concentrations were 515, 945, and 1,010 CFU m−3, respectively. Significant correlations between the ambient weather conditions and airborne fungal and bacterial concentrations were identified. Sequence analysis of PCR-amplified DNA from bacterial clones and fungal isolates revealed genus and species level differences between upwind and downwind sites. Although we could not cultivate gram-negative bacteria, bacterial clones at downwind sites identified as being gram-negative matched with the following genera: Acinetobacter, Bradyrhizobium, Escherichia, Idiomarina, Methylobacterium, Ralstonia, and Novosphingobium. Fungal isolates from downwind matched with the following genera: Acremonium, Alternaria, Ascomycte, Aspergillus, Basidiomycete, Cladosporium, Davidiella, Doratomyces, Emericella, Lewia, Onygenales, Penicillium, Rhizopus, and Ulocladium. None of the bacterial and fungal sequence matches were affiliated with genera and species known to be pathogenic to humans. Overall, the data suggest that exposure to bioaerosols in the downwind environment decreases with increasing distance from the open-lot dairy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Optical switch-on of a very high voltage (18 kV class) 4H-SiC thyristor with an amplification step (pilot thyristor) to the current Imax = 1225 A is demonstrated using a purely inductive load and a calibrated air transformer. Increasing the inductance of the transformer primary winding slows down the turn on process. However, the inductance has little effect during the initial stage of the switch-on process when the voltage drop on the thyristor and its internal resistance is high. The results show that a further switch-on current increase can be only achieved by introducing additional amplification steps in the pilot thyristor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Primary objective To characterize the diets of low-income inner-city African Americans to develop a population-specific quantitative food frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) that will be used to highlight foods and nutrients for a nutritional intervention program aimed at reducing the risk of chronic disease and to evaluate the program. Methods and procedures A cross-sectional survey conducted in inner-city Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls were collected in 91 low-income African Americans aged between 18 and 74 years. Main outcomes and results The average daily energy intake was approximately 2,165 kcal for women and 2,509 kcal for men. The percentages of energy from fat were approximately 34% and 33% for women and men, respectively. Sodas were the main contributor to energy and sugar intake. A 113-item QFFQ was developed. Conclusions The results highlighted specific foods and nutrients that would be targeted in the nutritional intervention. The QFFQ developed is culturally appropriate and specific for low-income African Americans in inner-city Baltimore. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - The morphospecies Fusarium dimerum, known only from its anamorph, comprises at least 12 phylogenetically distinct species. Analyses of the large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) show they are taxa of the Nectriaceae (Hypocreales), related to F. domesticum and form a phylogenetically distinct clade within Fusarium. Fusarium dimerum, for which no herbarium material could be located, is characterized by macroconidia with a single, median septum, according to the original description and illustration. Fusarium lunatum (= F. dimerum vat. violaceum) forms similar but longer macroconidia and purple, catenate or clustered chlamydospores. Fusarium delphinoides SP- nov., F. biseptatum sp. nov., F. penzigii sp. nov., F. nectrioides comb. nov. (= F. dimerum var. nectrioides) and two unnamed Fusarium spp. produce macroconidia with mostly two or rarely three septa. The name F. dimerum, which originally was applied to a fungus from a citron, is used for a taxon including isolates causing infections in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Fusarium nectrioides, F. delphinoides, F. penzigii and F. biseptatum are known from soil and dead plant substrata or rarely as agents of trauma-related eye infections of humans. Fusarium lunatum is an inhabitant of the cladodes of species within the cactus genera Opuntia and Gymnocalycium. Its unnamed closest sister taxon, which also forms 1-septate macroconidia and purple, clustered chlamydospores, was isolated from a human sinus. Fusarium delphinoides is a pathogen of the cactus-like African species Hoodia gordonii (Apocynaceae). Phylogenetic analyses based on combined sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region, LSU rDNA and partial sequences of the elongation factor 1-alpha and beta-tubulin genes identified a clade of several species producing predominately 2-septate macroconidia as the reciprocally monophyletic sister of F. dimerum. The basal sister group of the two aforementioned clades includes Fusarium lunatum and two undescribed species, all of which form 1-septate macroconidia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary: Methods to automatically integrate sequence information with physical and genetic maps are scarce. The Locus Lookup tool enables researchers to define windows of genomic sequence likely to contain loci of interest where only genetic or physical mapping associations are reported. Using the Locus Lookup tool, researchers will be able to locate specific genes more efficiently that will ultimately help them develop a better maize plant. With the availability of the well-documented source code, the tool can be easily adapted to other biological systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Radish is an economically important vegetable crop. During the past several years, large-scale genomics and genetics resources have been accumulated for this species. To store, query, analyze and integrate these radish resources efficiently, we have developed RadishBase (http://bioinfo.bti.cornell.edu/radish), a genomics and genetics database of radish. Currently the database contains radish mitochondrial genome sequences, expressed sequence tag (EST) and unigene sequences and annotations, biochemical pathways, EST-derived single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, and genetic maps. RadishBase is designed to enable users easily to retrieve and visualize biologically important information through a set of efficient query interfaces and analysis tools, including the BLAST search and unigene annotation query interfaces, and tools to classify unigenes functionally, to identify enriched gene ontology (GO) terms and to visualize genetic maps. A database containing radish pathways predicted from unigene sequences is also included in RadishBase. The tools and interfaces in RadishBase allow efficient mining of recently released and continually expanding large-scale radish genomics and genetics data sets, including the radish genome sequences and RNA-seq data sets.

AB  - In the southeastern USA, livestock operations face issues with both manure management and energy. Both issues can be advanced by implementing holistic solutions to manure treatment that involve (1) resourceful energy management and (2) green farming systems. In such systems, current and emerging waste-to-energy conversion platforms can contribute to renewable energy solutions, improved crop yields, and sustained natural resources. System-component technologies can manage both wet and dry manures to provide recycled nutrients to crops while minimizing air and water quality impacts. Relative to energy, anaerobic digestion (AD) is the prevalent biochemical platform. It is a mature technology that readily processes wet manure, and it is used on many levels of sophistication throughout the globe. Thermochemical conversion (TCC) processes with smaller physical footprints are versatile, capable of handling wet and dry feedstocks to yield multiple byproducts. They need (1) manure feedstock conditioning to lessen the effects of salts, metals, and sulfur and (2) heat recovery for energy conservation. Additionally, with appropriate downstream processing, the TCC gases and bio-oils can aid in farm energy management to include liquid fuel. The TCC processes also produce a reasonably transportable, nutrient-dense biochar. While AD provides a digestate suitable for land application, wastewaters within these systems can also be treated at different stages with solids-separation and nitrogen-phosphorous recovery technologies. This cleaner effluent offers more options for its use in meeting crop water needs via irrigation. Thus, through holistic thinking coupled with dynamic agribusiness, there are significant opportunities for future livestock farming systems to improve the sustainability of natural resources including energy.

AB  - OBJECTIVE. The goal was to assess the influence of recent infection on screening tests for iron depletion (zinc protoporphyrin and hemoglobin) among low-income, preschool-aged children. METHODS. This cross-sectional study was conducted at community sites and ambulatory care clinics in Hartford, Connecticut, and included 180 preschool-aged children. Iron depletion was defined as serum ferritin levels of ≤15 µg/L. Recent illness was defined by parent or guardian (caretaker) report or evidence of elevated C-reactive protein concentrations. History of anemia was determined through medical records review. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values of hemoglobin and zinc protoporphyrin were calculated overall and for children with and without recent illness. RESULTS. At enrollment, more than one half of the children had a recent illness, and 57.5% had a history of anemia. More than one third had iron depletion. Serum ferritin levels were significantly higher among recently ill children. Secondary to recent illness, the positive predictive value of elevated zinc protoporphyrin, but not low hemoglobin, was reduced significantly. Zinc protoporphyrin levels of >69 p, mol/mol heine identified significantly more iron-deficient children. CONCLUSIONS. Compared with anemia, elevated zinc protoporphyrin levels identified significantly more iron-deficient children. Recently ill children were one half as likely to have low serum ferritin levels, compared with children without recent illness. The negative effect of recent illness on the positive predictive value of zinc protoporphyrin when ferritin is used to determine iron status has many practical implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study that deals with the presence of 16S rRNA methylase genes in Escherichia coli isolated from chickens. Included in the study were 120 individual E. coli strains isolated from the livers of diseased and dead chickens in four farms in Henan Province, China. Based on their findings, the authors highlighted the emergence of the armA and rmtB genes in clinical isolates found in chickens in China. The genes were localized on the plasmids of the clinical isolates. They related the increase in the number of copies of armA gene and the broad diversity in the genetic environment of the rmtB gene among E. coli plasmids in chickens to the sophisticated antibiotic pressure environment.

AB  - The article examines data sharing and how the annotation practices it depends on must become part of the fabric of daily research for scientists and investors. According to the authors, changes in the approaches to data handling and processing are a result of the development of high-throughput genomic and postgenomic technologies. They use the example of a biological sample used to generate many kinds of big data in parallel, such as a genome sequence (genomics), in which extensive computer manipulations are required for even basic analyses of such data. They note the increased challenges when two or more studies' outputs must be compared or integrated. Topics include an in-depth discussion of the importance of data sharing, International and U.S. data policies, and funding agencies.

AB  - Abstract: The minimum intravenous infectious dose for ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) WLC1 was determined using twenty-four 6month-old lambs. Twelve groups of two 6month-old lambs were inoculated intravenously (i.v.) with tissue culture fluid containing ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) WLC1 titers ranging from 107.6 TCID50/lamb down to 10−3.4 TCID50/lamb and were monitored for seroconversion using the OPPV agar gel immunodiffusion assay (AGID). Fifteen of the 16 lambs given equal or greater than 100.6 TCID50 seroconverted, and virus could be isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes in 13 out of the 15 of these lambs. None of the eight lambs receiving less than 100.6 TCID50 seroconverted during the 12months. The results of this study indicated that 100.6 or 4 TCID50/lamb given i.v. was capable of establishing infection. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Mesquite (Prosopis spp.) are woody leguminous plants that belong to the family Leguminosae and grow in arid and semiarid regions of America, Africa and Asia. Prosopis spp. produce indehiscent fruit (pods) that can be milled to yield flour that is sold commercially and is used in pastries and baked goods. The major volatile constituent of mesquite flour was identified as 5,6-dihydro-6-propyl-2H-pyran-2-one on the basis of its Kovats index and mass spectrum. Using δ-nonalactone as an internal standard its concentration was determined to be 59.75±7.07mg/kg (n =3). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Optimization of separation and detection conditions for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans

AB  - Abstract: The 2,3,7,8-substituted polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are among the most toxic compounds known, and several sources of exposure to these chemicals should be monitored to protect human and environmental health. The current predominant method of analysis is too expensive and cumbersome, and comprehensive two-dimensional GC coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC–TOF-MS) has the potential to lower the costs and speed analysis of PCDD/Fs. In this study, GC×GC–TOF parameters were evaluated and optimized to yield complete separation of the 17 most important PCDD/F congeners from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) interferences, and to attain the lowest detection limits. The optimization study entailed evaluation of oven temperature programs, column flow rates, ion source temperatures, electron ionization energy, data acquisition rate, and various GC×GC parameters, including modulation period, modulator temperature offset and hot pulse duration. After optimization, all 17 PCDD/Fs were separated in <60min, and in particular, the critical pair of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and pentachlorobiphenyl congener CB126 did not co-elute chromatographically. Accurate identification and determination of all analytes could be made using their deconvoluted full mass spectra. In GC×GC, the modulation period and start time were the most important factors that affected sensitivity and selectivity for the analysis of the PCDD/Fs. The modulation period should be ≤4s to preserve separations achieved in one-dimensional GC, and the modulation start time was important to achieve one large slice and two smaller symmetrical slices of TCDD to maximize its detection sensitivity. After optimization, the method could identify 0.25pg of TCDD with standard injection from its full mass spectrum. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The shifting operator provides new formulas for estimating the center of data obtained by repeated attempts to measure a response. The data are sorted by magnitude and the estimates are based on polynomial- and exponential-type formulas. The estimators are easy to apply. On known examples they can be more accurate than the mean and the median. They permit differentiation of the center point estimate with respect to any datum. A test is described for assigning the parameters S, T, and W in operational, polynomial equations for the nine-point cube. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Fast pyrolysis of biomass is a thermochemical conversion process that provides an economic production of pyrolysis oils/bio-oils. The process also results in a residual solid residue, char, that comprises carbon and mineral ash that can be a potential source of fuel or a valuable co-product. Depending on the exposure time and temperature, pyrolysis can increase the interfacial surface areas of the residual char thereby enhancing its absorptive capacity. Char residues can be used for physical or chemical absorption and as catalyst support or base material for fertilizers. The reactions that occur during char combustion or gasification are heterogeneous hence the reaction rates are microstructure dependent. Ashes from biomass derived chars can be high either in calcium or silica with the latter exceeding 90% levels in certain grain hull residues. Depending on the microstructural transformations which occur during thermal degradation of the biomass, silica-laden ashes can be a potential source of pozzolan for the construction industry. In this study, the microstructure of the chars derived from fast pyrolysis of barley-hull was studied using environmental scanning electron microscopy under low vacuum conditions. The results indicate a gradual increase in convoluted microstructure related to the superficial organization of epidermal cells, including stomata and trichomes that eventually assume the form of various morphotypes of phytoliths. Characterization of the temporal events of high temperature evolution of the hull microstructure provides practical implications of its combustion reactivities and also provides information useful for predicting potential masonry applications for the resulting ash.

AB  - Abstract: Cinnamon improves glucose and lipid profiles of people with type 2 diabetes. Water-soluble cinnamon extract (CE) and HPLC-purified cinnamon polyphenols (CP) with doubly linked procyanidin type-A polymers display insulin-like activity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cinnamon on the protein and mRNA levels of insulin receptor (IR), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and tristetraprolin (TTP/ZFP36) in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Immunoblotting showed that CP increased IRβ levels and that both CE and CP increased GLUT4 and TTP levels in the adipocytes. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated that CE (100μg/ml) rapidly increased TTP mRNA levels by approximately 6-fold in the adipocytes. CE at higher concentrations decreased IRβ protein and IR mRNA levels, and its effect on GLUT4 mRNA levels exhibited a biphasic pattern in the adipocytes. These results suggest that cinnamon exhibits the potential to increase the amount of proteins involved in insulin signaling, glucose transport, and anti-inflammatory/anti-angiogenesis response.

AB  - There are only two reports in the literature demonstrating the presence of Campylobacter spp. in marine mammals. One report describes the isolation of a new species, Campylobacter insulaenigrae sp. nov., from three harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Scotland, and the other describes the isolation of Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter lari, and an unknown Campylobacter species from northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) in California. In this study, 72 presumptive C. lari and unknown Campylobacter species strains were characterized using standard phenotypic methods, 16S rRNA PCR, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Phenotypic characterization of these isolates showed them to be variable in their ability to grow either at 42°C or on agar containing 1% glycine and in their sensitivity to nalidixic acid and cephalothin. Based on both 16S rRNA PCR and MLST, all but 1 of the 72 isolates were C. insulaenigrae, with one isolate being similar to but distinct from both Campylobacter upsaliensis and Campylobacter helveticus. Phylogenetic analysis identified two C. insulaenigrae clades: the primary clade, containing exclusively California strains, and a secondary clade, containing some California strains and all of the original Scottish strains. This study demonstrates the inability of phenotypic characterization to correctly identify all Campylobacter species and emphasizes the importance of molecular characterization via 16S rRNA sequence analysis or MLST for the identification of Campylobacter isolates from marine mammals.

AB  - Abstract: Inclusive-jet and dijet differential cross sections have been measured in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering for exchanged boson virtualities with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb−1. Jets were identified in the Breit frame using the cluster algorithm. Jet cross sections are presented as functions of several kinematic and jet variables. The results are also presented in different regions of . Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations describe the measurements well. Regions of phase space where the theoretical uncertainties are small have been identified. Measurements in these regions have the potential to constrain the gluon density in the proton when used as inputs to global fits of the proton parton distribution functions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Certain of the cyclodextrins are capable of significantly enhancing the native fluorescence of the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN). Twenty-two cyclodextrins (CDs) were screened for their ability to enhance the fluorescence of ZEN in a capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) format. Of the CDs that were examined heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD gave the greatest enhancement. The heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD was applied to the development of a CE-LIF method for detection of ZEN in maize. The resulting method was capable of detecting ZEN with a limit of quantitation of 5ng/g maize. Recoveries of ZEN from maize spiked over the range from 5ng/g to 500ng/g averaged 103.1±8.5% (n =20). The CE-LIF method will be useful for future studies of ZEN in maize. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A qualitative test that mimics the corrosion behaviour of metals in contact with treated wood without using wood specimens would be of great value in rapidly evaluating the corrosiveness of new wood preservatives. The objective of this study was to determine whether the linear polarisation resistance of metals immersed in a solution of preservative chemicals is related to corrosion of metals in wood. This technique was used to measure the corrosion rate of four types of metals in three different aqueous solutions of wood preservatives. The four metals were UNS G10180 (SAE 1018 steel), UNS S30400 (AISI 304 stainless steel), UNS S43000 (AISI 430 stainless steel), and UNS Z15001 (zinc). The metals were subjected to various concentrations of alkaline copper quat (ACQ-D), ammoniacal copper citrate (CC), and chromated copper arsenate type C (CCA-C). It was found that the corrosion of metals in the solutions of the wood preservatives did not correlate well to what is known about the corrosion of metals in contact with wood.

AB  - The apple ermine moth, Yponomeuta malinellus Zeller (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), is a tent caterpillar that feeds on Malus spp. in Korea. Populations of the moth in native areas appeared to be regulated by the assemblage of parasitoids. Phenological associations between host stages and parasitoids, susceptible stage(s) of the host for each parasitoid, and stage-specific parasitism were studied. The egg larval parasitoid Ageniaspis fuscicollis (Dalman) had highest parasitism of first instar larvae (24%), with 14% parasitism of other larval stages. Dolichogenidea delecta (Haliday) was recovered from all larval instars with the highest parasitism rate of second instar larvae (20.1%), followed by 19.9% parasitism of mid-larval hosts. Herpestomus brunicornis Gravenhorst was reared from second instar larvae through to pupal collection, and had the highest parasitism rate (29.9%) at the pupal stage. The larval pupal parasitoid Zenillia dolosa (Meigen) was recovered from mid-larval to pupal stages with the highest parasitism rate (5.5%) occurring in third to fourth instar larvae. The host stages for developing A. fuscicollis completely overlap with those of D. delecta, and with those of H. brunicornis to some degree. A statistically significant negative correlation exists between A. fuscicollis and these dominant parasitoids, indicating competitive interaction within the host. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wildfire can influence a variety of stream ecosystem properties. We studied stream temperatures in relation to wildfire in small streams in the Boise River Basin, located in central Idaho, USA. To examine the spatio-temporal aspects of temperature in relation to wildfire, we employed three approaches: a pre–post fire comparison of temperatures between two sites (one from a burned stream and one unburned) over 13 years, a short-term (3 year) pre–post fire comparison of a burned and unburned stream with spatially extensive data, and a short-term (1 year) comparative study of spatial variability in temperatures using a “space for time” substitutive design across 90 sites in nine streams (retrospective comparative study). The latter design included streams with a history of stand-replacing wildfire and streams with severe post-fire reorganization of channels due to debris flows and flooding. Results from these three studies indicated that summer maximum water temperatures can remain significantly elevated for at least a decade following wildfire, particularly in streams with severe channel reorganization. In the retrospective comparative study we investigated occurrence of native rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) and tailed frog larvae ( Ascaphus montanus) in relation to maximum stream temperatures during summer. Both occurred in nearly every site sampled, but tailed frog larvae were found in much warmer water than previously reported in the field (26.6°C maximum summer temperature). Our results show that physical stream habitats can remain altered (for example, increased temperature) for many years following wildfire, but that native aquatic vertebrates can be resilient. In a management context, this suggests wildfire may be less of a threat to native species than human influences that alter the capacity of stream-living vertebrates to persist in the face of natural disturbance.

AB  - Abstract: Three small, cryptic plasmids from the multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Campylobacter coli strain RM2228 and one small, cryptic plasmid from the MDR Campylobacter jejuni strain RM1170 were sequenced and characterized. pCC2228-1 has some similarity to Firmicutes RepL family plasmids that replicate via a rolling-circle mechanism. pCC2228-2 is a theta-replicating, iteron-containing plasmid (ICP) that is a member of the same incompatibility (Inc) group as previously described Campylobacter shuttle vectors. The other two ICPs, pCC2228-3 and pCJ1170, represent a second novel Inc group. Comparison of the four plasmids described in this study with other characterized plasmids from C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. hyointestinalis suggests that cryptic plasmids in Campylobacter may be classified into as many as nine Inc groups. The plasmids characterized in this study have several unique features suitable for the construction of novel Campylobacter shuttle vectors, e.g., small size, absence of many common multiple-cloning site restriction sites, and Inc groups not represented by current Campylobacter shuttle plasmids.

AB  - Abstract: Piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever (PEMC) sensors consisting of a piezoelectric and a borosilicate glass layer with a sensing area of 4mm2 were fabricated. An antibody specific to Escherichia coli (anti-E. coli) O157:H7 was immobilized on PEMC sensors, and exposed to samples containing E. coli O157:H7 (EC) prepared in various matrices: (1) broth, broth plus raw ground beef, and broth plus sterile ground beef without inoculation of E. coli O157:H7 served as controls, (2) 100mL of broth inoculated with 25 EC cells, (3) 100mL of broth containing 25g of raw ground beef and (4) 100mL of broth with 25g of sterile ground beef inoculated with 25 EC cells. The total resonant frequency change obtained for the broth plus EC samples were 16±2Hz (n =2), 30Hz (n =1), and 54±2Hz (n =2) corresponding to 2, 4, and 6h growth at 37°C, respectively. The response to the broth plus 25g of sterile ground beef plus EC cells were 21±2Hz (n =2), 37Hz (n =1), and 70±2Hz (n =2) corresponding to 2, 4, and 6h, respectively. In all cases, the three different control samples yielded a frequency change of 0±2Hz (n =6). The E. coli O157:H7 concentration in each broth and beef samples was determined by both plating and by pathogen modeling program. The results indicate that the PEMC sensor detects E. coli O157:H7 reliably at 50–100cells/mL with a 3mL sample. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A gas-filled RF quadrupole ion beam cooler has been significantly improved for cooling negative ion beams. Electron detachment plays a significant role in determining the transmission of negative ions. It has been suggested that collisions with the residual buffer gas in the deceleration and injection region of the ion beam cooler, where the ions still possess relatively large energies, could result in substantial losses in negative ions due to electron detachment. The ion beam cooler is modified to improve the pumping conductance in the quadrupole entrance region for effectively removing the buffer gas and minimizing the residual gas escaping to the deceleration and injection region. This significantly reduces the collisions encountered by the ions before they are retarded to energies below the threshold for electron detachment. Overall transmission efficiencies of more than 50% have been obtained with the modified cooler for some negative ions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A novel gasification reactor was designed for conversion of grass straw to synthesis gas. Our design goal was to improve synthetic gas yield and thermal stability at a scale suitable for on-farm use at a cost similar to that of a combine harvester. The reactor that was constructed and tested in this study follows the newly emerging design technique whereby the endothermic pyrolysis or gasification and exothermic char combustion co-exist in the same reactor. It operates in a dual mode where straw gasification occurs in the annulus of an outer tube and an inner (draft) tube. Our trials established that the dual-mode operation could be performed without material flow problems. Sustained tests demonstrated reactor stability at gasification temperatures up to 650°C and successful gasification of Kentucky bluegrass straw utilizing combustion heat from the inner tube. Calculated equivalence ratios of combustion in the inner tube ranged from 0.3 to 0.78 indicating fuel lean combustion of residual char without slagging. Carbon conversion ranged between 35.4 and 44.8%. Energy recovery, estimated as the ratio of the heat of combustion of the gas to that of the dry-ash-free feedstock, ranged from 14.7% to 30.92%. The estimated heating value for the synthesis gas ranged from 1.27 to 2.85MJm−3. Although these conversion parameters are low, a proof of the design concept was established. They can be improved with little modification by increasing the residence time in the draft tube and complete isolation of the gaseous products of combustion and the gasification. More tests are required to evaluate the economic feasibility of the farm-scale unit. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The molecular mechanisms that determine the correct subcellular localization of proteins targeted to membranes by tail-anchor sequences are poorly defined. Previously, we showed that two isoforms of the tung oil tree [Vernicia (Aleurites) fordii] tail-anchored Cb5 (cytochrome b5) target specifically to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) membranes both in vivo and in vitro [Hwang, Pelitire, Henderson, Andrews, Dyer and Mullen (2004) Plant Cell 16, 3002–3019]. In the present study, we examine the targeting of various tung Cb5 fusion proteins and truncation mutants to purified intracellular membranes in vitro in order to assess the importance of the charged CTS (C-terminal sequence) in targeting to specific membranes. Removal of the CTS from tung Cb5 proteins resulted in efficient binding to both ER and mitochondria. Results from organelle competition, liposome-binding and membrane proteolysis experiments demonstrated that removal of the CTS results in spontaneous insertion of tung Cb5 proteins into lipid bilayers. Our results indicate that the CTSs from plant Cb5 proteins provide ER specificity by preventing spontaneous insertion into incorrect subcellular membranes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Iron status and dietary correlates of iron status have not been well described in Hispanic older adults of Caribbean origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate iron status and describe dietary components and correlates of iron status in Hispanic older adults and in a neighborhood-based comparison group of non-Hispanic white older adults. Six hundred four Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adults (59-91 y of age) from the Massachusetts Hispanic Elders Study were included in the analysis. We examined physiological markers of iron status as well as dietary factors in relation to iron status. Dietary intake was assessed by FFQ. Our results revealed that Hispanics had significantly lower geometric mean serum ferritin (74.1 microg/L vs. 100 microg/L; P<0.001), lower hemoglobin concentrations (137+/-13 vs. 140+/-12 g/L; P<0.01), higher prevalence of anemia (11.5 vs. 7.3%; P<0.05), and suboptimal hemoglobin concentrations (<125 g/L) for this age group (21.4 vs. 13.3%; P<0.05). Iron deficiency anemia was higher (7.2% vs. 2.3%; P<0.05) in Hispanic women. Hispanics had lower mean intakes of total iron, vitamin C, supplemental vitamin C, and total calcium than did non-Hispanic whites. After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, alcohol use, smoking, total energy intake, inflammation, diabetes, and liver disease, intake of heme iron from red meat was positively associated and dietary calcium was negatively associated with serum ferritin. This population of Hispanic older adults was significantly more likely than their non-Hispanic white neighbors to suffer from anemia and poor iron status, particularly among women. Cultural variation in dietary patterns may influence iron availability and body iron stores and contribute to an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia among some Hispanic older adults.

AB  - Abstract: In this study the capacity of sorbents prepared from juniper wood (JW) and bark (JB) to adsorb cadmium (Cd) from aqueous solutions at different pH values was compared. Adsorption behavior was characterized through adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and adsorption edge experiments. Results from kinetics and isotherm experiments showed that JB (76.3–91.6μmol Cdg−1 substrate) had 3–4 times higher adsorption capacity for Cd than JW (24.8–28.3μmol Cdg−1). In addition to higher capacity, JB exhibited a higher strength of adsorption (45.3 versus 9.1Lmmol−1) and faster uptake kinetics (0.0119 versus 0.0083gμmol−1 min−1) compared to JW. For both these adsorbents, increasing Cd adsorption with increasing solution pH in the range of 2–6 suggests that surface carboxyl groups (RCOOH) might be involved in interaction with Cd. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra showed that the surface concentration of carboxyl groups was higher on JB compared to JW. The ratio of Ca released to Cd adsorbed was 1.04 and 0.78 for JB and JW, respectively, indicating that Ca–Cd ion-exchange was the primary mechanism involved. The higher Ca content in JB (15 times more) and the surface RCOOH concentration (2.5 times more) can be attributed to the observed differences in Cd adsorption behavior between the two lignocellulosic adsorbents.

AB  - Slow flow of granular materials, which typically occurs during the emptying of industrial storage hoppers and bins, has great industrial relevance. In the present study, we have employed our newly developed dilatant double shearing model [H. Zhu, M.M. Mehrabadi, M. Massoudi, Incorporating the effects of fabric in the dilatant double shearing model for granular materials, Int. J. Plast. 22 (2006) 628–653] to study the slow flow of a frictional, dense granular material. Although most models pertain only to the fully developed granular flow, the application of the dilatant double shearing model is shown to be valid from the onset of granular flow to the fully developed granular flow. In this paper, we use the finite element program ABAQUS/Explicit to numerically simulate the granular Couette flow and the frictional granular flow in a silo. For the granular Couette flow, the relative density variation and the velocity profile obtained by using the dilatant double shearing model are in good quantitative agreement with those obtained from a DEM simulation. For the frictional flow in a silo, the major principal stress directions are obtained at various time steps after the onset of silo discharge. We find that, in the hopper zone, the arching of the granular material between the sloping hopper walls is clearly demonstrated by the change in direction of the major principal stress. We also compare the pressure distribution along the wall before and after the onset of silo discharge. The numerical results show that the dilatant double shearing model is capable of capturing the essential features of the frictional granular flow. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Identification of in situ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-degrading soil microorganisms using DNA-stable isotope probing

AB  - Abstract: Stable isotope probing (SIP) was used to investigate the microorganisms responsible for degradation of the herbicide, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in soil samples. Soils were unamended or amended with either unlabeled 2,4-D or UL(ring) 13C-2,4-D. Degradation of 2,4-D was complete after 17 days, whereas little removal (11±3%) was observed in the sterile controls. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) on soil DNA after 17 days indicated a consistent increase in the relative abundance of one fragment (217bp in Hae III digests) in soils spiked with 2,4-D (both unlabeled and labeled samples) compared to the unamended soils. DNA extracts from labeled and unlabeled 2,4-D amended soils were subject to ultracentrifugation, fractionation of centrifuged samples, followed by TRFLP on each fraction. TRFLP profiles from ultracentrifugation fractions illustrated that the same fragment experienced an increase in buoyant density (BD) in samples spiked with 13C-labeled 2,4-D. This increase in DNA BD indicates the organisms represented by this fragment were responsible for uptake and degradation of the herbicide. 16S rRNA sequencing of the heavy, 13C-enriched fraction suggests the organisms belong to the β subdivision of Proteobacteria. Herein, SIP facilitated the identification of unique organisms degrading 2,4-D in soil without the need for isolation and provided more direct evidence for a functional role of these organisms than would have been possible with the molecular-based methods alone.

AB  - Metagenome studies have retrieved vast amounts of sequence data from a variety of environments leading to new discoveries and insights into the uncultured microbial world. Except for very simple communities, the encountered diversity has made fragment assembly and the subsequent analysis a challenging problem. A taxonomic characterization of metagenomic fragments is required for a deeper understanding of shotgun-sequenced microbial communities, but success has mostly been limited to sequences containing phylogenetic marker genes. Here we present PhyloPythia, a composition-based classifier that combines higher-level generic clades from a set of 340 completed genomes with sample-derived population models. Extensive analyses on synthetic and real metagenome data sets showed that PhyloPythia allows the accurate classification of most sequence fragments across all considered taxonomic ranks, even for unknown organisms. The method requires no more than 100 kb of training sequence for the creation of accurate models of sample-specific populations and can assign fragments ≥1 kb with high specificity.

AB  - Abstract: The multi-antibiotic resistant (MR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage type U302 strain G8430 exhibits the penta-resistant ACSSuT-phenotype (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides and tetracycline), and is also resistant to carbenicillin, erythromycin, kanamycin, and gentamicin. Two plasmids, 3.2- and 84.5-kb in size, carrying antibiotic resistance genes were isolated from this strain, and the nucleotide sequences were determined and analyzed. The 3.2-kb plasmid, pU302S, belongs to the ColE1 family and carries the aph(3′)-I gene (KanR). The 84.5-kb plasmid, pU302L, is an F-like plasmid and contains 14 complete IS elements and multiple resistance genes including aac3, aph(3′)-I, sulII, tetA/R, strA/B, bla  TEM-1, mph, and the mer operon. Sequence analyses of pU302L revealed extensive homology to various plasmids or transposons, including F, R100, pHCM1, pO157, and pCTX-M3 plasmids and TnSF1 transposon, in regions involved in plasmid replication/maintenance functions and/or in antibiotic resistance gene clusters. Though similar to the conjugative plasmids F and R100 in the plasmid replication regions, pU302L does not contain oriT and the tra genes necessary for conjugal transfer. This mosaic pattern of sequence similarities suggests that pU302L acquired the resistance genes from a variety of enteric bacteria and underscores the importance of a further understanding of horizontal gene transfer among the enteric bacteria.

AB  - Abstract: Five methods for the assessment of antioxidant capacity [whole plasma conjugated diene formation, low-density lipoprotein oxidation susceptibility, ferric-reducing ability of plasma, oxygen radical absorbance capacity and perchloric-acid-treated oxygen radical absorbance capacity (PCA-ORAC)] were used in a randomized, double blind, crossover study to determine the acute postprandial antioxidant protection imparted by the isoflavone component of soy. On separate days, 16 subjects consumed one of three isocaloric shakes containing 25g of protein in the form of soy, with 107 mg of total aglycone units of isoflavones, soy with trace isoflavones (<4 mg) or total milk protein. Blood was collected at baseline, 4h, 6h and 8h after consumption. Antioxidant capacity, serum isoflavone levels, fat-soluble antioxidants and plasma vitamin C levels were evaluated. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed no significant differences (P=.05) within treatments over time in four of five antioxidant capacity measurements. Significant differences over time between the soy with trace isoflavones and the total milk protein group were observed using the PCA-ORAC assay. It can be concluded that, on an acute basis, a significant increase in serum antioxidant capacity is not detectable following consumption of soy protein. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Microfluidization of cheese milk at different temperatures and pressures altered the meltability and rheological properties of Mozzarella cheese. Pasteurized milks, standardized to 1.0 (low-fat (LF)) or 3.2 (full fat (FF))g fat/100g milk, heated to 10, 43, or 54°C, and then microfluidized at pressures of 34, 103, or 172MPa, were used to manufacture Mozzarella cheese. Cheeses made from nonmicrofluidized milks served as controls. During the hot water step, only control cheeses and cheeses made with milk microfluidized at 10°C could be stretched while all others had short curds that did not fuse together. Cheese responses to different stresses (heat, compression, torsion, and oscillatory shear) were measured after 1 and 6weeks of storage. FF cheeses made with the control milks and milks processed at 10°C/34MPa or 10°C/103MPa were softer and less rigid, and had the lowest visco-elastic properties and the highest meltabilities of all the cheeses. Microfluidization of the cheese milk did not improve the melt or rheology of LF cheeses. Microfluidization of milk with fat in the liquid state at higher pressures resulted in smaller lipid droplets that altered the component interactions during the formation of the cheese matrix and resulted in LF and FF Mozzarella cheeses with poor melt and altered rheology.

AB  - Abstract: Changes in fruit quality, decay, phenolic and anthocyanin content, and antioxidant capacity of strawberries (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. cv. Allstar) stored under air and high oxygen atmospheres at 5°C were investigated. Freshly harvested strawberries were placed in jars and ventilated continuously with air or with 40, 60, 80, or 100kPa O2 at 5°C for up to 14 days. Samples were taken initially, and after 3, 7, 10 and 14 days of storage. While fruit quality parameters such as titratable acidity, total soluble solids and surface color were only slightly affected by differing levels of O2, the higher oxygen concentration treatments significantly reduced decay. Oxygen concentrations higher than 60kPa also promoted increases in ORAC values, total phenolics and total anthocyanins as well as individual phenolic compounds analysed by HPLC during the initial 7 days of storage. However, this effect diminished with prolonged storage. No significant differences in ORAC values, total phenolics, total anthocyanins, or the individual phenolic compounds were observed among the high O2 and air-stored fruits after 14 days of storage. These results indicate that high oxygen treatments exert the most effects on fruit quality and antioxidant capacity of strawberry fruit in the first 7 days of storage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a novel phosphaturic factor and important for the regulation of inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis. In this study, we examined an acute effect of oral Pi loading on serum FGF23 levels to clarify the role in rapid adjustment of serum Pi level. We performed a randomized, double-blind, crossover study in eight healthy male volunteers. The subjects were alternately served one of three test meals containing different Pi amounts (400 mg (P400), 800 mg (P800), and 1200 mg (P1200)) as lunch at noon. The postprandial changes in serum levels of Pi, Ca, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, intact-parathyroid hormone (iPTH), intact-FGF23 (iFGF23), and urinary excretion of Pi and Ca until 8 h after Pi loading were estimated. Serum Pi levels and urinary Pi excretion significantly increased within 1 h after P400 and P800 intake. Serum iPTH levels at 1–2 and 4–6 h after P1200 intake was significantly higher than those of P400 intake. Serum iFGF23 levels slightly decreased up to 8 h after P400 intake and up to 6 h after P800 intake, but not changed in P1200 intake. Significant increase of iFGF23 was observed at 8 h after P1200 intake compared with both P400 and P800 intake. Additionally, negative association was detected between iFGF23 and serum Pi, whereas positive association was observed between iPTH and serum Pi during the short period. We conclude that oral Pi loading cannot rapidly increase serum FGF23 level. FGF23 may be not associated with rapid adaptation of Pi homeostasis.Kidney International (2006) 70, 2141–2147. doi:10.1038/sj.ki.5002000; published online 25 October 2006 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Adsorption structures of the pentacene (C22H14) molecule on the clean Si(001)-2×1 surface were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in conjunction with density functional theory calculations and STM image simulations. The pentacene molecules were found to adsorb on four major sites and four minor sites. The adsorption structures of the pentacene molecules at the four major sites were determined by comparison between the experimental and the simulated STM images. Three out of the four theoretically identified adsorption structures are different from the previously proposed adsorption structures. They involve six to eight Si–C covalent chemical bonds. The adsorption energies of the major four structures are calculated to be in the range 67–128kcal/mol. It was also found that the pentacene molecule hardly hopped on the surface when applying pulse bias voltages on the molecule, but was mostly decomposed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technologies used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from combustion gases can be effective in capturing oxidized mercury (Hg). Depending on the FGD process, a large portion of this Hg may be incorporated into the FGD slurry and its solid byproducts including synthetic gypsum, a material commonly used in the manufacturing of wallboard. The potential for atmospheric and groundwater releases of Hg arises during the manufacturing processes, during the preparation and use of the manufactured products, and eventually upon disposal of the wallboard or other products. In this paper, the fate and mobility of Hg in FGD products and process streams were investigated. Experimental approaches, including leaching studies and size separation techniques, were used to investigate products including FGD-outlet slurry and wallboard production line samples. Results of the experiments reported here indicate that, in a number of cases, Hg mobility is limited. Further, the agent responsible for the immobilization appears to be not the finer particles of gypsum itself but an iron-rich phase, such as iron coated clay minerals or iron oxide/hydroxide particles, probably introduced with the limestone used to form the SO2-capture reagent.

AB  - Abstract: Pectin was extracted from lime flavedo, albedo and pulp by employing microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) under pressure. Heating times ranged from 1 to 10min. Optimal time of heating was 3min. Molar mass, viscosity, radius of gyration and hydrated radius were found to decrease with heating time. At 3min heating time, depending on the lime fraction which was extracted, weight average molar mass ranged from about 310,000 to 515,000Da, and weight average intrinsic viscosities ranged from about 9.5 to 13dL/g. Pectins dissolved in 0.05 sodium nitrate were characterized by HPSEC with online light scattering, dynamic light scattering and viscosity detection. Molar mass polydispersity passed through maximum at 4min. Molecules of pectin became less compact with increasing heating time. The results obtained here are consistent with previous evidence that extracted pectins may exist in solution as networks, partially formed networks, i.e. branched molecules or linear molecules depending on extraction conditions and the solvent in which they are dissolved.

AB  - Abstract: Invasion of native plant communities by the Australian paperbark tree (“melaleuca”), Melaleuca quinquenervia, complicates restoration of the Florida Everglades. Biological control, within the context of a comprehensive management program, offers a means to suppress regeneration of melaleuca after removal of existing trees and a mechanism to forestall reinvasion. To meet this need, a biological control program commenced in 1997 upon the release of an Australian weevil (Oxyops vitiosa [Pascoe] [Coleoptera: Curculionidae]). Release of a second biological control agent, the melaleuca psyllid (Boreioglycaspis melaleucae Moore), followed in February 2002 at field sites containing mixed age-class melaleuca stands or coppicing stumps. Each site was inoculated with 7000–10,000 adult psyllids, with one exception where 2000 nymphs were released on seedlings the following December. Psyllid populations established everywhere irrespective of colony source, site conditions, or the quantity released, although numbers released and, to a lesser degree, colony age influenced the numbers of colonies produced. Quantity included in the release was the major determinant of the resultant number of colonies, although the duration of their tenure in quarantine culture may have also influenced this. One site, comprised mainly of coppicing stumps, contained 3.3 million psyllids per ha within 3 months after release. Less than 1% of the coppices at a similar site harbored psyllid colonies 2 months after release (May 2002), but this rose to 75% in October then to 100% by December. The census population exceeded 715,000 adults and nearly 11 million nymphs by late January 2003. Psyllid populations dispersed 2.2–10.0km/year, with the slower rates in dense, continuous melaleuca stands and faster rates in fragmented stands. Over 1 million psyllids had been redistributed to 100 locations as of December 2005. This species now occurs throughout much of the range of melaleuca in south Florida due to natural range expansion as well as anthropogenic dissemination. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Mice administered Len17/H5 either as a live-attenuated intranasal vaccine or as an inactivated intramuscular vaccine were substantially protected from lethal challenge with highly pathogenic A/Hong Kong/483/97 (H5N1) virus and were protected from pulmonary infection with antigenically distinct A/Hong Kong/213/2003 (H5N1) virus. The cross-protective effect correlated with the levels of virus-specific mucosal IgA and/or serum IgG antibodies. Our results suggest a new strategy of using classical genetic reassortment between a high-growth ca H2N2 strain and antigenically related non-pathogenic avian viruses to prepare live-attenuated and inactivated vaccines for influenza pandemic.

AB  - Abstract: Equations representing data in prismatic array are useful for interpreting experiments involving three independent parameters. This paper illustrates two sets of four polynomial equations for the nine-point cubical array. The equations are exact on trilinear numbers and their second and third powers. The equations are potentially useful alternatives to the trilinear equation when they do not generate complex-number coefficients. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: To establish a proteomic reference map for soybean leaves, we separated and identified leaf proteins using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Tryptic digests of 260 spots were subjected to peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) MS. Fifty-three of these protein spots were identified by searching NCBInr and SwissProt databases using the Mascot search engine. Sixty-seven spots that were not identified by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis were analyzed with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and 66 of these spots were identified by searching against the NCBInr, SwissProt and expressed sequence tag (EST) databases. We have identified a total of 71 unique proteins. The majority of the identified leaf proteins are involved in energy metabolism. The results indicate that 2D-PAGE, combined with MALDI-TOF-MS and LC-MS/MS, is a sensitive and powerful technique for separation and identification of soybean leaf proteins. A summary of the identified proteins and their putative functions is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Nearest neighbor spatial analysis was used to assess the effect of systemic rust caused by Uromyces scutellatus on stand density of Euphorbiaesula/virgata, a highly invasive deep-rooted perennial weed of rangelands and natural areas in North America. ANOVA applied to nearest neighbor measurements within four pairs of stands in close proximity, with and without rust, in Hungary and Austria indicated that the stand densities of plants of E.esula/virgata in three of four rusted stands were less than companion stands with little or no rust. Using the nearest neighbor distance data, E. esula/virgata densities within stands where rust was prevalent were 48–73% of those with little or no rust. The fourth stand with rust was denser than a symptomless companion stand in 2004, but nearly all plants had symptoms. The same diseased stand was dramatically reduced in density when surveyed the following year and all plants observed in 2005 displayed rust symptoms. These findings indicate the potential impact of the microcyclic autoecious rust U. scutellatus should it be introduced as a biocontrol agent for E. esula/virgata in North America.

AB  - Abstract: The isolation and structure of a phytoalexin, malvone A (2-methyl-3-methoxy-5,6-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is reported. Malvone A formation is induced in Malva sylvestris L. by the plant pathogen Verticillium dahliae. In a turbimetric assay for toxicity to V. dahliae, it had an ED50 value of 24μg/ml. The structure of malvone A was determined by MS and NMR spectroscopy, and by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The X-ray analysis showed water molecules were located in channels that run along the a-axis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Oxidation pattern of the magic cluster Si7 was studied by first-principles calculations of Si7O n  (n =1–14) clusters. The lowest-energy structures of the Si-rich clusters consist of a pure Si fragment and an oxide fragment. The oxidation is found to extend from one edge throughout the whole cluster as the number of the oxygen atoms increases. Fragmentation energy analysis shows that the Si-rich clusters can often dissociate into a small pure Si n  (n =2–6) cluster and a silicon oxide fragment. The O-rich clusters tend to separate into a SiO molecule and a silicon oxide fragment, except for Si7O14 which can easily lose an oxygen molecule in the fragmentation. The ionic clusters (n =1–14) were also studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: Methyl salicylate (MeSA) vapor increased resistance against chilling injury (CI) in freshly harvested pink tomatoes. The expression patterns of alternative oxidase (AOX) before and during the chilling period demonstrated that pre-treatment of tomato fruit with MeSA vapor increased the transcript levels of AOX. We used 4 EST tomato clones of AOX from the public database that belong to two distinctly related families, 1 and 2 defined in plants. Three clones were designated as LeAOX1a, 1b and 1c and the fourth clone as LeAOX2. Using RT-PCR, 1a and 1b genes were found to be expressed in leaf, root and fruit tissues, but 1c was expressed preferentially in roots. RNA transcript from LeAOX1a of AOX subfamily 1 was present in much greater abundance than 1b or 1c. The presence of longer AOX transcripts detected by RNA gel blot analysis in cold-stored tomato fruit was confirmed to be the un-spliced pre-mRNA transcripts of LeAOX1a and LeAOX1b genes. Intron splicing of LeAOX1c gene was also affected by cold storage when it was detected in roots. This alternative splicing event in AOX pre-mRNAs molecules occurred, preferentially at low temperature, regardless of mRNA abundance. Transcript levels of several key genes involved in RNA processing (splicing factors: 9G8-SR and SF2-SR, fibrillarin and DEAD box RNA helicase) were also affected by changes in storage temperature. The aberrant splicing event in AOX pre-mRNA and its possible association with the change in expression of genes involved in RNA processing in tomato fruit having chilling disorder was discussed.

AB  - The Mediterranean diet was first considered to be a low-saturated fat diet that conveyed protection against coronary heart disease by lowering plasma total cholesterol levels. Later, the emphasis shifted away from the low-saturated-fat content of this diet toward its high content of olive oil and its overall constellation of characteristics. Moreover, there is now evidence that the Mediterranean diet benefits not only the risk for coronary heart disease but also cancer occurrence, total mortality, and longevity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Density functional theory is used to investigate the initial inclusion of sulfur into the subsurface interstitial sites of Pd(111) surface. Pure subsurface adsorption is found to be less energetically favorable than on-surface adsorption. The incorporation of sulfur into the metal becomes more favorable than continuous adsorption on the surface after a critical on-surface sulfur coverage. We find subsurface sulfur occupation to be energetically favorable after adsorption of more than half a monolayer on the surface. Occupation of subsurface sites induces a pronounced structural distortion of the Pd(111) surface. We find significant expansion of interplanar spacing between the uppermost surface metal layers and rearrangement of the S overlayer. The interplay between the energy cost due to structural distortion of Pd(111) and the energy gain due to bond formation for different structures is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Nanometer-sized molybdenum carbide particles have been shown to have hydrogenation and other catalytic properties similar to those of the more-expensive noble metals. However, current preparation techniques for molybdenum carbide require the high-temperature reduction of unsupported molybdenum oxide in the presence of CH4 and H2. Although this method is effective, it yields particles of relatively large size, 11 nm. Different, simpler, synthesis procedures starting with ammonium heptamolybdate impregnated on carbon yield carbides of different stiochiometries. Particle sizes are in the 2–10 nm range, which are generally smaller than those previously obtained, and can be altered by changing the method of preparation. The focus of this work is to characterize the new procedures, specifically the bulk transitions of the new starting material to the different molybdenum carbides, using time-resolved X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, and temperature-programmed desorption.

AB  - Abstract: Whole cell fatty acid analysis is commonly used to identify bacteria. A cold trap, using a commercially available device that directs a stream of compressed air across a section of the GC column, is used to focus peaks at the head of the column. When combined with a rapid sample processing method that uses smaller volumes of solvents, it becomes possible to correctly identify bacteria from 1 to 2 mg of biomass. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Once turkeys arrive at Midwest processing plants, they are usually held in large open-sided sheds for 1 to 4 h, waiting to be unloaded. In hot, humid weather, large fans are used to cool the birds. The resultant air currents distribute a significant amount of dust to the turkeys. The dust created in this environment could be a factor in the number of Salmonella-contaminated tur- keys entering slaughter plants. The objective of this study was to determine if rapid transmission of Salmonella in turkeys could occur from exposure to Salmonella-contaminated dust similar to what may be experienced in holding sheds or in other high-dust environments prior to slaughter. in the first experiment, trials of 3 different concentrations of Salmonella (1.2 × 109, 2.6 × 107, and 2.6 × 105 cfu/g) were conducted to determine if transmission of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium var. typhimuriumx4232 to turkeys 2 to 4 h after aerosol exposure to contaminated feces is possible. Results showed that turkeys became infected after 2 h of exposure to airborne- contaminated feces with a concentration level of 2.6 × 105 cfu of Salmonella Typhimurium/g. In the second experiment, consisting of 3 trials, 1 bank (5 cages wide and 3 cages high) of turkeys (n = 15 birds per trial) was exposed to another bank of cages of S. Typhimurium-inoculated (n = 15) birds for 2 to 4 h using a fan similar to the type in processing-plant cooling sheds. Results from this experiment demonstrated that birds could be contaminated with S. Typhimurium after 2 h of exposure. Results of both studies implicate contaminated dust as a route of rapid airborne transmission of Salmonella in turkeys. Processes that generate significant dust prior to slaughter should be regarded as critical control points for Salmonella. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Based on the new theoretical approach and the self-consistent iteration procedure for calculating the limiting values (ε(∞) and ε(0)) of the frequency-dependent permittivity, it becomes possible to recognize the fitting function for the function ε(jω) measured for a complex system representing plant tissues of fresh fruits and vegetables in the frequency range (107–1.8×109 Hz). The recognized fitting function is common for all of a set of nine fruits and vegetables (apple, avocado, banana, cantaloupe, carrot, cucumber, grape, orange, and potato) and contains seven fitting parameters. These parameters are varied for different fruits and vegetables, and their behavior with respect to temperature is different but nevertheless exhibits some common features. This fitting function containing power-law exponents and confirming the existence of relaxation processes described in terms of fractional kinetic equations for some complex biological systems can be used for practical purposes to construct a desired calibration curve with respect to quality factors, as for example, moisture content or degree of maturity. The discovered common “universality” in dielectric behavior of such complex materials as plant tissues opens a possibility to use dielectric spectroscopy as a nondestructive method of control in analysis of electrical behavior (measured in the form of complex permittivity or impedance) for other complex materials.

AB  - Summary: Single-phase flow through fractured media occurs in various situations, such as transport of dissolved contaminants through geological strata, sequestration of carbon dioxide in depleted gas reservoirs, and in primary oil recovery. In the present study, fluid flows through a rock fracture were simulated. The fracture geometry was obtained from the CT scans of a rock fracture produced by the Brazilian method in a sandstone sample. A post-processing code using a CAD package was developed and used to generate the three-dimensional fracture from the CT scan data. Several sections along the fracture were considered and the Gambit™ code was used to generate unstructured grids for flow simulations. FLUENT™ was used to analyze the flow conditions through the fracture section for different flow rates. Because of the small aperture of the fractures, the gravitational effects could be neglected. It was confirmed that the pressure drop was dominated by the smallest aperture passages of the fracture. The accuracy of parallel plate models for estimating the pressure drops through fractures was studied. It was shown that the parallel plate flow model with the use of an appropriate effective fracture aperture and inclusion of the tortuosity factor could provide reasonable estimates for pressure drops in the fracture. On the basis of the CFD simulation data, a new expression for the friction factor for flows through fractures was developed. The new model predictions were compared with the simulation results and favorable agreement was found. It was shown that when the length of the fracture and the mean and standard deviation of the fracture are known, the pressure loss as a function of the flow rate could be estimated. These findings may prove useful for design of lab experiments, computational studied of flows through real rock fractures, or inclusions in simulators for large-scale flows in highly fractured rocks.

AB  - In the present paper we have looked into the excessive occurrence of 255 standard fill value retrievals in Collection 4 MODIS LAI product over soybean areas from crop year 2001/2002 to 2004/2005, in Southern Brazil. The 255 standard fill value indicates that no leaf area index (LAI) retrieval was possible for the considered pixel. Time series of eight‐day composite LAI images (MOD15A2) and 16‐day composite NDVI images (MOD13Q1) were both compared with a soybean reference map derived from multitemporal Landsat images. The Land Cover Type 3 product (MOD12Q1) was also analysed to verify if the occurrence of those retrievals was related to misclassification of the broadleaf crops biome. Results indicated that the 255 standard fill value retrievals in Collection 4 LAI product were mainly related to soybean areas during peak growing season and occurred in every crop year we have studied. Eventual misclassification in the biome map was not the cause of those retrievals in the Collection 4 MODIS LAI product. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A live attenuated virus vaccine is being developed to protect against West Nile virus (WN) disease in humans. Previously, it was found that chimeric West Nile/dengue viruses (WN/DEN4 and WN/DEN4Δ30) bearing the membrane precursor and envelope protein genes of WN on a backbone of dengue type 4 virus (DEN4) with or without a deletion of 30 nucleotides (Δ30) in the 3′ noncoding region of the DEN4 part of the chimeric genome were attenuated and efficacious in mice and monkeys against WN challenge. Here, we report the generation of a clinical lot of WN/DEN4Δ30 virus and its further preclinical evaluation for safety and immunogenicity in mice, geese and monkeys. The vaccine candidate had lost neuroinvasiveness in highly sensitive immunodeficient mice inoculated intraperitoneally and had greatly reduced neurovirulence in suckling mice inoculated intracerebrally (IC). Compared to the wild-type WN parent, the chimeric virus was highly restricted in replication in both murine and human neuroblastoma cells as well as in brains of suckling mice. The WN/DEN4Δ30 virus failed to infect geese, indicating that chimerization of WN with DEN4 completely attenuated WN for this avian host. This observation suggests that the WN/DEN4 chimeric viruses would be restricted in their ability to be transmitted from vaccinees to domestic or wild birds. In monkeys, the WN/DEN4Δ30 vaccine candidate was highly immunogenic despite its low level of replication with undetectable viremia. Furthermore, the WN/DEN4Δ30 vaccine virus was safe and readily induced neutralizing antibodies against WN in monkeys immune to each of the four serotypes of dengue virus. These studies confirm the attenuation of WN/DEN4Δ30 for non-human primates, including dengue-immune monkeys, and demonstrate both a highly restricted replication (>108-fold decrease) in the brain of mice inoculated IC and an absence of infectivity for birds, findings that indicate this vaccine should be safe for both the recipient and the environment.

AB  - Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy''s (FE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), in partnership with private industry, educational institutions and national laboratories, is leading the development and demonstration of high efficiency, high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and fuel cell turbine (FCT) hybrid power generation systems for stationary markets including auxiliary power units (APUs), distributed generation (DG) and large, coal-based central power plants. The DOE FE fuel cells program has three aspects: the Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA), Fuel Cell Coal Based Systems for central power, and the High Temperature Electrochemistry Center (HiTEC). The SECA goal is to decrease SOFC system cost to US$ 400 per kilowatt (kW) by 2010 for stationary markets. DOE FE is ultimately concerned with coal-based central power plants such as FutureGen. The goal is to aggregate SECA-type fuel cells into larger systems and to produce a very high efficiency megawatt-class FCT hybrid for testing at FutureGen. The low-cost, US$ 400kW−1 SECA FCT hybrid is a key component to achieving 60% efficiency by 2020. Advanced aspects of solid oxide technology are part of HiTEC R&D. Technical progress and advances are discussed for all three program aspects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: In the absence of localized field data the US Department of Agriculture–Natural Resources and Conservation Service (USDA–NRCS) intake families have often provided sufficient information for preliminary design, evaluation, or management of surface irrigation systems. However, to more fully utilize advances in procedures for field data collection and analysis as well as the software to automate the hydraulic computations, it has become necessary to revise these intake families. This paper is presented to facilitate the dissemination of these results to the larger international audience as well as provide a more detailed explanation of the protocols used in developing the revised families. A selective comparison is made to illustrate the differences between the original and new curves. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Blends of pectin with starch (high amylose and normal), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH), and glycerol were extruded in a twin screw extruder, pelletized, and then further processed into blown film and extruded sheet using a single screw extruder. The samples were analyzed using tensile measurements, dynamic mechanical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. PVOH levels of 24% or greater were necessary to successfully make blown film, while extruded sheet could be made at a level of 16% PVOH. Tensile strength and initial modulus of the extruded sheets were slightly higher in the machine direction than in the cross direction, while the reverse was true for elongation to break. For the blown films tensile strength tended to be higher in the transverse direction than in the machine direction, while the reverse was seen for initial modulus. Increased levels of PVOH led to increases in tensile strength and elongation to break, while initial modulus was decreased. Morphology as determined by SEM visually indicated stretching in the transverse direction of the blown films. The second stage extrusion appeared to promote α-helix formation in the high amylose starch. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Antibiotic resistance of inoculated bacteria is a commonly used selective marker. Bacteria resistant to the antibiotic nalidixic acid have been shown to have an increased sensitivity to irradiation. The purpose of this research was to screen a collection of Salmonella isolates for antibiotic resistance and determine the association, if any, of antibiotic resistance with radiation sensitivity. Twenty-four clinical isolates of Salmonella were screened for native resistance to multiple concentrations of ampicillin (Amp), chloramphenicol (Chl), or gentamicin (Gm). Test concentrations were chosen based on established clinical minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels, and isolates were classified as either sensitive or resistant based on their ability to grow at or above the MIC. Salmonella cultures were grown overnight at (37°C) in antibiotic-amended tryptic soy broth (TSB). Native resistance to Gm was observed with each of the 24 isolates (100%). Eight isolates (33%) were shown to be resistant to Amp, while seven isolates (29%) were shown to be resistant to Chl. In separate experiments, Salmonella cultures were grown overnight (37°C) in TSB, centrifuged, and the cell pellets were re-suspended in phosphate buffer. The samples were then gamma irradiated at doses up to 1.0kGy. The D 10 values (the ionizing radiation dose required to reduce the viable number of microorganisms by 90%) were determined for the 24 isolates and they ranged from 0.181 to 0.359kGy. No correlation was found between the D 10 value of the isolate and its sensitivity or resistance to each of the three antibiotics. Resistance to Amp or Chl is suggested as appropriate resistance marker for Salmonella test strains to be used in studies of irradiation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Phytic acid, myo-inositol hexaphosphate, is a plant component existing in most grains and legumes. Although much attention has been focused on the biologic actions of phytic acid in human beings and animals, its effect on the blood glucose level in diabetic models has not been evaluated. This study was conducted to examine the supplementary effect of phytate on the blood glucose level in a diabetic rodent model. Thirty male diabetic KK mice were fed with purified diets supplemented with 0% (P0), 0.5% (P5), or 1.0% (P10) sodium phytate for 8 weeks. Diet intake, body and organ weights, and levels of fasting and random blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, as well as insulin were measured. A glucose tolerance test was conducted. There was no significant difference in diet intake, body weight, and organ weight among the experimental groups. The concentrations of fasting and random blood glucose were lower in the groups fed with the phytate diets, and the significant (P < .05) difference from P0 was found only in the P10 group. Hemoglobin A1c levels were significantly (P < .05) lower in the P5 and P10 groups as compared with those in the P0 group. There was no significant difference in insulin levels among the experimental groups. The blood glucose levels after 30 minutes of glucose injection were significantly lower in the P5 and P10 groups than in the P0 group. These results suggest that phytate reduced the blood glucose levels of diabetic mice. Effective blood glucose control by phytate may be an alternative for the management of diabetes and disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal hyphae to 15N uptake from vineyard cover crop litter (Medicago polymorpha), and to examine the soil microbial community under the influence of mycorrhizal roots and extraradical hyphae. Mycorrhizal grapevines (Vitis vinifera) were grown in specially designed containers, within which a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) mesh core was inserted. Different sizes of mesh allowed mycorrhizal roots (mycorrhizosphere treatment) or extraradical hyphae (hyphosphere treatment) to access dual labeled 15N and 13C cover crop litter that was placed inside the cores after 4 months of grapevine growth. Mesh cores in the bulk soil treatment, which served as a negative control, had the same mesh size as the hyphosphere treatment, but frequent rotation prevented extraradical hyphae from accessing the litter. Grapevines and soils were harvested 0, 7, 14, and 28 days after addition of the cover crop litter and examined for the presence of 15N. Soil microbial biomass and the soil microbial community inside the mesh cores were examined using phospholipid fatty acid analysis. 15N concentrations in grapevines in the hyphosphere treatment were twice that of grapevines in the bulk soil treatment, suggesting that extraradical hyphae extending from mycorrhizal grapevine roots may have a role in nutrient utilization from decomposing vineyard cover crops in the field. Nonetheless, grapevines in the mycorrhizosphere treatment had the highest 15N concentrations, thus highlighting the importance of a healthy grapevine root system in nutrient uptake. We detected similar peaks in soil microbial biomass in the mycorrhizosphere and hyphosphere treatments after addition of the litter, despite significantly lower microbial biomass in the hyphosphere treatment initially. Our results suggest that although grapevine roots play a dominant role in the uptake of nutrients from a decomposing cover crop, AM hyphae may have a more important role in maintaining soil microbial communities associated with nutrient cycling.

AB  - Abstract: Longan (Dimocarpus longan), lychee (Litchi chinensis), and rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) cultivars were harvested from different locations in Hawaii and analyzed for vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and mineral content. Longan fruit had the highest vitamin C content (60.1mg/100g fresh weight) among the three specialty fruits tested. Average ascorbic acid content was 27.6mg/100g for lychees and 36.4mg/100g for rambutans. Vitamin C content was 63.3 and 55.3mg/100g for the longan cultivars, Biew Kiew and Sri Chompoo, respectively. For rambutans, vitamin C content ranged from 22.047.8mg/100g for the six cultivars tested. The early maturing lychee cultivar, Kaimana, had an average ascorbic acid content of 33.2mg/100g, and the later maturing Groff and Bosworth-3 cultivars had 21.2 and 22.5mg/100g, respectively. No correlation was found between ascorbic acid and total soluble solids (TSS) content. Longans were a good source of K (324.9mg/100g) and Cu (0.26mg/100g). Consumption of lychee fruit (100g) would meet 2–4% of the daily recommended intake (DRI) for six minerals (P, K, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn), and 22% of the DRI for Cu. Rambutan fruit had 20% of the DRI for Cu and 8–10% of the DRI for Mn. In general, fruit mineral content was not associated with soil mineral content. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: This paper presents the results of plant-site experiments conducted on several natural-gas-fired, reverberatory aluminum furnaces to evaluate overall energy efficiency and to analyze major sources of heat loss, providing an overall picture of current aluminum melting furnaces in the US aluminum industry. Thermodynamic analyses were done for energy utilization according to energy balance and compared with the measured data. Our experimental results indicate that the effective energy efficiency in most melting furnaces measured is around 26–29%, and the major heat loss through flue gas is between 35% and 50%. The energy availability concept is introduced to predict the maximum energy potential and minimum flue gas heat loss in this type of aluminum furnace. Pollutant formation and control of nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gas are discussed. Methods that may improve energy efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions from melting operations are also addressed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In insects, the boundary between the embryonic head and thorax is formed by the dorsal ridge, a fused structure composed of portions of the maxillary and labial segments. However, the mechanisms that promote development of this unusual structure remain a mystery. In Drosophila, mutations in the Hox genes Sex combs reduced and Deformed have been reported to cause abnormal dorsal ridge formation, but the significance of these abnormalities is not clear. We have identified three mutant allele classes of Cephalothorax, the Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle) ortholog of Sex combs reduced, each of which has a different effect on dorsal ridge development. By using Engrailed expression to monitor dorsal ridge development in these mutants, we demonstrate that Cephalothorax promotes the fusion and subsequent dorsolateral extension of the maxillary and labial Engrailed stripes (posterior compartments) during dorsal ridge formation. Molecular and genetic analysis of these alleles indicates that the N terminus of Cephalothorax is important for the fusion step, but is dispensable for Engrailed stripe extension. Thus, we find that specific regions of Cephalothorax are required for discrete steps in dorsal ridge formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Radiation damage induced by neutron irradiation was studied in undoped MgO crystals and in MgO doped with either iron, hydrogen or lithium impurities. The oxygen-vacancy concentration produced by irradiation increases with neutron fluence. The net production rates resulting from irradiations with 14.8MeV neutrons are about twice those produced by fission neutrons. In nominally pure crystals, the oxygen-vacancy concentration incurred by the fission-neutron irradiation is higher in crystals with a larger number of inherent impurities (such as iron) due to trapping of interstitials by impurities. Suppression of these defects is observed in MgO:H crystals and attributed to migration of oxygen vacancies to microcavities filled with H2 gas. In MgO:Li crystals irradiated with neutron fluences below 1018 n/cm2, most of the oxygen vacancies are camouflaged as hydride ions. Nanoindentation experiments show that hardness increases with neutron fluence and is independent of the presence of lithium in the crystal. Comparison between a neutron-irradiated and a thermochemically reduced crystal containing similar concentrations of oxygen vacancies shows that 70% of the neutron-irradiation hardening is produced by interstitials, 30% by oxygen vacancies and a negligible amount by higher-order point defects.

AB  - Objective This study assessed the impact of changes in school food policy on student lunch consumption in middle schools.Methods Two years of lunch food records were collected from students at three middle schools in the Houston, Texas area. During the first year, no changes occurred in the school food environment. After that school year was completed, chips and dessert foods were removed from the snack bars of all schools by the Food Service Director. Students recorded the amount and source of food and beverage items consumed. Point-of-service purchase machines provided a day-by-day electronic data file with food and beverage purchases from the snack bars during the 2-year period. Independent t-tests and time series analyses were used to document the impact of the policy change on consumption and sales data between the two years.Results In general, student consumption of sweetened beverages declined and milk, calcium, vitamin A, saturated fat and sodium increased after the policy change. Snack chips consumption from the snack bar declined in year 2; however, consumption of snack chips and candy from vending increased and the number of vending machines in study schools doubled during the study period. Ice cream sales increased significantly in year 2.Conclusions Policy changes on foods sold in schools can result in changes in student consumption from the targeted environments. However, if all environments do not make similar changes, compensation may occur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Nucleotide sequences of the isoepoxydon dehydrogenase gene (idh) for eight strains of Byssochlamys nivea were determined by constructing GenomeWalker libraries. A striking finding was that all eight strains of B. nivea examined had identical nucleotide sequences, including those of the two introns present. The length of intron 2 was nearly three times the size of introns in strains of Penicillium expansum and P. griseofulvum, but intron 1 was comparable in size to the number of nucleotides present in introns 1 and 2 of P. expansum and P. griseofulvum. A high degree of amino acid homology (88%) existed for the idh genes of the strains of B. nivea when compared with sequences of P. expansum and P. griseofulvum. There were many nucleotide differences present, but they did not affect the amino acid sequence because they were present in the third position. The identity of the B. nivea isolates was confirmed by sequencing the ITS/partial LSU (28 S) rDNA genes. Four B. nivea strains were analysed for production of patulin, a mycotoxin found primarily in apple juice and other fruit products. The B. nivea strains produced patulin in amounts comparable to P. expansum strains. Interest in the genus Byssochlamys is related to the ability of its ascospores to survive pasteurization and cause spoilage of heat-processed fruit products worldwide. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Metal contaminants in soil environments derived from industrial pollution have clearly established the need for research on bioavailability and potential health risks. Much research has been conducted on metal sorption in soils. However, there is still a need to better understand the availability of metal contaminants to plants and microbes. Such information will enhance both human health and decisions about remediation efforts. In this study, Welland Loam (Typic epiaquoll) and Quarry Muck (Terric haplohemist) Ni contaminated soils from Port Colborne (Canada) which had been treated and untreated with limestone, were employed in greenhouse and bioavailability studies. These soils varied in pH from 5.1 to 7.5, in organic matter content from 6% to 72%, and in total Ni from 63 to 22,000mg/kg. Oat (Avena sativa), a nonhyperaccumulator, and Alyssum murale, a hyperaccumulating plant species, were grown on these soils in greenhouse studies for 45 and 120 days, respectively, to estimate Ni accumulation. A Ni specific bacterial biosensor was also used to determine Ni bioavailability, and the results were compared to those from the greenhouse studies and more conventional, indirect chemical extraction techniques (employing MgCl2 and a Sr(NO3)2). Results from the greenhouse, chemical extraction, and biosensor studies suggested that as the pH of the soil was increased with liming, Ni bioavailability decreased. However, the phytoextraction capability of A. murale increased as soil pH increased, which was not the case for A. sativa. Furthermore, the Ni specific bacterial biosensor was successful in predicting Ni bioavailability in the soils and suggested that higher Ni bioavailabilities occur in the soils at pH values of 5.1 and 6. The combination of plant growth, chemical extraction, and bacterial biosensor approaches are recommended for assessing bioavailability of toxic metals. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A confirmed case was defined as keratitis with illness onset after June 1, 2005, with no history of recent ocular trauma and a corneal culture growing Fusarium species. Data were obtained by patient and ophthalmologist interviews for case patients and neighborhood-matched controls by trained personnel. Available Fusarium isolates from patients' clinical and environmental specimens were genotyped by multilocus sequence typing. Environmental sampling for Fusarium was conducted at a contact lens solution manufacturing plant. Main Outcome Measures: Keratitis infection with Fusarium species. Results: As of June 30, 2006, we identified 164 confirmed case patients in 33 states and 1 US territory. Median age was 41 years (range, 12-83 years). Corneal transplantation was required or planned in 55 (34%). One hundred fifty-four (94%) of the confirmed case patients wore soft contact lenses. Forty-five case patients and 78 controls were included in the case-control study. Case patients were significantly more likely than controls to report using a specific contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc (69% vs 15%; odds ratio, 13.3; 95% confidence interval, 3.1-119.5). The prevalence of reported use of ReNu MultiPlus solution was similar between case patients and controls (18% vs 20%; odds ratio, 0.7; 95% confidence interval, 0.2-2.8). Fusarium was not recovered from the factory, warehouse, solution filtrate, or unopened solution bottles; production of implicated lots was not clustered in time. Among 39 isolates tested, at least 10 different Fusarium species were identified, comprising 19 unique multilocus genotypes. Conclusions: The findings from this investigation indicate that this outbreak of Fusarium keratitis was associated with use of ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution. Contact lens users should not use ReNu with MoistureLoc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: This work presents results on the dissociation of H2S over Ni–Mo catalysts suggesting that the presence of surface Mo-atom(s) has a significant impact on both the energetics of the process and the reaction mechanism. The presence of one Mo atom provides an additional energetic advantage of 10.2kcal/mol overall. While increasing the energetic advantage of the process, the presence of Mo atom also increases the activation barriers by at most 3kcal/mol. The large exothermic nature of this process combined with the comparatively small activation barriers suggests that the H2S dissociation process is a facile process on all of the surfaces studied here. Additionally, analysis was provided to explain the difference in catalytic behavior between a bi-metallic alloy and a bi-metallic sulfide. It was determined that the bi-metallic alloy binds sulfur strongly (>100kcal/mol) which can be compared with the results of Sun and co-workers [M. Sun, A.E. Nelson, J. Adjaye, Catal. Today 105 (2005) 36] who predict that S adsorption on the metal sulfide phase is not energetically favorable. It is suggested that the sulfide surface does not bind S in an energetically favorable manner because the sulfide surface structure does not possess a binding site that can emulate the hollow site on a metal surface.

AB  - Abstract: To investigate the origin of seven Ardisia crenata Sims seedlings with non-variegated foliages (VSm) from a progeny of a mother plant with variegated foliage and red berries (VM), morphological and genetic characteristics of these seedlings were compared with mother plants of A. crenata with VM, plants with non-variegated leaves and white berries (WM), and plants with non-variegated leaves and red berries (RM). Genetic data include randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and sequence analysis of an unidentified locus that was obtained from seven VSm seedlings out of 261seedlings of VM with variegated foliage (VS) seedlings, WM, and seedlings from WM (WS). RAPD analysis indicates that VM, WM, and progeny populations VSm and WS are more closely related to each other than to RM and RM progeny (RS). Substitution in a 374-base long nucleotide sequence revealed that WM and most of WS and VSm produced similar sequence data with some exceptions, such as seedling VSm 2 and 5 showing polymorphisms at positions 7 (C replacing T) and 243 (A replacing T). Based on the RAPD and the sequence analysis for the VSm and WM specific band, it is concluded that these seven VSm seedlings were resulted from cross-pollination between VM and WM. Hybrid origin of VSm seedlings between VM as a maternal source and WM as a paternal source is verified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) utilizing sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers (forward primer, ARD-1-F; GGACTGGAGTAGAGGATAGAGTTTTG and two reverse primers, ARD-2-R; GGACTGGAGTGCTCTATGAATTG and ARD-3-R; TGTCAGCAGCCTACCACTAGC). These SCAR markers were successful to identify VM progenies with non-variegated leaves involving WM as a paternal source. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A conceptual multi-step process demonstrates the feasibility of CO2 sequestration in an integrated operation utilizing by products primarily obtained from fossil fuel combustion (fly ash) and oil and gas production (brine). This process includes a carbonation reaction utilizing a brine solution and CO2 as reactants under mild reaction conditions. CaO rich fly ashes are added to increase the pH level of the reactant brine, maximizing the reaction efficiency of the carbonation reaction. Furthermore, these materials can also provide a source of Ca in addition to the Ca present in the brine for carbonation. The calcium from fly ashes and brine both contribute to the formation of calcium carbonate during the carbonation reaction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The use of frozen semen in the swine industry is limited by problems with viability and fertility compared with liquid semen. Part of the reduction in sperm motility and fertility associated with cryopreservation may be due to oxidative damage from excessive or inappropriate formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Chemiluminescence measurements of ROS are not possible in live cells and are problematic because of poor specificity. An alternative approach, flow cytometry, was developed to identify viable boar sperm containing ROS utilizing the dyes hydroethidine and 2′, 7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate as oxidizable substrates and impermeant DNA dyes to exclude dead sperm. The percentage of sperm with high mitochondrial transmembrane potential was determined by flow cytometry using the mitochondrial probe 5, 5′, 6, 6′-tetrachloro-1, 1′, 3, 3′-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide with propidium iodide staining to exclude nonviable cells. Sperm were incubated with and without ROS generators and free radical scavengers. Basal ROS formation was low (less than 4%) and did not differ (P = 0.26) between viable fresh and frozen-thawed boar sperm. In addition, fresh and frozen-thawed viable sperm were equally susceptible (P = 0.20) to intracellular formation of ROS produced by xanthine/ xanthine oxidase (94.4 and 87.9% of sperm, respectively). Menadione increased (P < 0.05) ROS formation, decreased (P < 0.05) JC-1-aggregate fluorescence intensity, and decreased (P < 0.05) motion variables by 25 to 60%. The mechanism of inhibition of motility by ROS formation may be related to a decrease in mitochondrial charge potential below a critical threshold. Catalase and superoxide dismutase treatment in the presence of xanthine/xanthine oxidase indicated that hydrogen peroxide was the primary intracellular ROS measured. Further, catalase, but not superoxide dismutase, was capable of attenuating ROS-induced inhibition of motility. Whereas basal intracellular hydrogen peroxide formation was low in viable fresh and frozen-thawed boar sperm, both were quite susceptible to external sources of hydrogen peroxide.

AB  - Abstract: We study the unsteady shear flow of fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity, situated between two parallel horizontal plates with the upper plate moving while the flow is subjected to an oscillating pressure gradient. The dimensionless form of the momentum equation is solved numerically using a central difference approximation for the spatial derivative terms and a forward difference approximation for the time derivative term. In addition to providing the velocity profiles at the midsection between the two plates, the values of shear stress at the lower (stationary) plate for various values of the dimensionless numbers are also plotted.

AB  - Stable isotope markers have been used to study animal nutrition for several decades and more recently to study the foraging and cultural habits of imported fire ants. In this work, we have extended that effort to evaluate the potential for marking boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with the rare earth element samarium to aid in studies of insect invasion and pest eradication protocols. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) was performed on the marked boll weevils as well as plant material from the cotton squares on which the insects were fed. Samarium levels in non-dosed insects average about 20 ng/g or about 100 pg total element per insect. Our computed average determination limit was 36 pg samarium/weevil. The determination limit for cotton plant squares and leaves averaged 3.5 ng/g and 8.2 ng/g, respectively. These initial results indicate the NAA method is capable of identifying individual marked insects which have assimilated 1 ng of samarium, a ten-fold increase in content over average blank values.

The entire aboveground portion of each tree was harvested and then divided into leaves, current season's shoots, and branches ≥1 year old plus trunk. Roots were sampled by digging a trench beginning beneath the trunk and extending to one-half the distance to an adjacent tree, then separating the roots from the soil. Roots were then divided into those less than 1 cm in diameter and those ≥1 cm in diameter. Equations in the form Y = eaXb were developed to estimate dry biomass of most tree components and the whole tree, where Y is the dry weight, e is the base of the natural logarithm, X is the trunk diameter at 1.4 m above the ground, and a and b are coefficients. A linear equation provided the best fit for estimating the weight of the current season's growth. Power equations were also developed to estimate the weights of inner bark and wood for different size trunks or branches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: A crystallographic study of the Si/Ge site preferences in the Si-rich regime of Gd5(Si x Ge1−x )4 and a crystal chemical analysis of these site preferences for the entire range is presented. The room temperature crystal structure of Gd5Si4 as well as four pseudobinary phases, Gd5(Si x Ge1−x )4 for , is reported. All structures are orthorhombic (space group Pnma), Gd5Si4-type and show decreasing volume as the Si concentration increases. Refinements of the site occupancies for the three crystallographic sites for Si/Ge atoms in the asymmetric unit reveal a nonrandom, but still incompletely ordered arrangement of Si and Ge atoms. The distribution of Si and Ge atoms at each site impacts the fractions of possible homonuclear and heteronuclear Si–Si, Si–Ge and Ge–Ge dimers in the various structures. This distribution correlates with the observed room temperature crystal structures for the entire series of Gd5(Si x Ge1−x )4. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Barley stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, is one of the most important barley ( Hordeum vulgare) diseases in the United States. The disease is best controlled using resistant cultivars. Barley genotype Grannenlose Zweizeilige (GZ) has a recessive gene ( rpsGZ) that is effective against all races of P. striiformis f. sp. hordei identified so far in the USA. To develop a molecular map for mapping the gene, F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were developed from the Steptoe X GZ cross through single-seed descent. Seedlings of the parents and RILs were evaluated for resistance to races PSH-14 and PSH-54 of P. striiformis f. sp. hordei under controlled greenhouse conditions. Genomic DNA was extracted from the parents and 182 F8 RILs and used for linkage analysis. The resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP) technique was used to identify molecular markers for rpsGZ. A linkage group for the gene was constructed with 12 RGAP markers, of which two markers co-segregated with the resistance locus, and two markers were closely linked to the locus with a genetic distance of 0.9 and 2.0 cM, respectively. These four markers were present only in the susceptible parent. The closest marker to the resistance allele was 11.7 cM away. Analyses of two sets of barley chromosome addition lines of wheat with the two RGAP markers that were cosegregating with the susceptibility allele showed that rpsGZ and the markers were located on the long arm of barley chromosome 4H. Further, tests with four simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers confirmed the chromosomal location of the rpsGZ gene and also integrated the RGAP markers into the known SSR-based linkage map of barley. The closest SSR marker EBmac0679 had a genetic distance of 7.5 cM with the gene in the integrated linkage map constructed with the 12 RGAP markers and 4 SSR markers. The information on chromosomal location and molecular markers for rpsGZ should be useful for incorporating this gene into commercial cultivars and combining it with other resistance genes for durable resistance.

AB  - Abstract: In this study, the nearly complete sequence (14,519 bp) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the entomophagous endoparasite Xenos vesparum (Insecta: Strepsiptera) is described. All protein coding genes (PCGs) are in the arrangement known to be ancestral for insects, but three tRNA genes (trnA, trnS(gcu), and trnL(uag)) have transposed to derived positions and there are three tandem copies of trnH, each of which is potentially functional. All of these rearrangements except for that of trnL(uag) is within the short span between nad3 and nad4 and there are numerous blocks of unassignable sequence in this region, perhaps as remnants of larger scale predisposing rearrangements. X. vesparum mtDNA nucleotide composition is strongly biased toward A and T, as is typical for insect mtDNAs. There is also a significant strand skew in the distribution of these nucleotides, with the J-strand being richer in A than T and in C than G, and the N-strand showing an opposite skew for complementary pairs of nucleotides. The hypothetical secondary structure of the LSU rRNA has also been reconstructed, obtaining a structural model similar to that of other insects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: There are long-standing uncertainties regarding the relative significance of the role of porous medium heterogeneities vs. the role of fluid properties in determining the efficiencies of various strategies for fluid injection into porous media. In this paper, we study both the role of heterogeneities and of viscosity ratio in determining the characteristics of miscible, two-phase flow in two-dimensional (2-D) porous media. Not surprisingly, we find that both are significant in determining the flow characteristics. For a variety of statistical distributions of pore-throat radii, we find that the coefficient of variation (the ratio of the standard deviation of the radii to their mean) is a reliable predictor of the injected fluid saturation as well as the width of the interfacial region. Consistent with earlier results, we find that viscosity ratio causes a crossover from fractal viscous fingering to standard compact flow at a characteristic crossover time which varies inversely with viscosity ratio. The studies in this paper show that the power law relating characteristic time to viscosity ratio does not depend upon the distribution of pore-throat radii or upon the connectivity (coordination number) of the medium each of which affects the porosity; this suggests that the power law may be entirely independent of the structure of the porous medium. This power law relationship leads to a robust dependence of the flow properties upon a particular ratio of the saturation to a given power of the viscosity ratio. This dependence is reminiscent of the empirical “quarter power mixing rule” in three dimensions. As such, this work provides a physical understanding of the origin and limitations of this empirical mixing rule. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the bulk rutile phase of TiO2 have been carried out in an intense external electromagnetic field with frequency in the microwave to far-infrared range. Simulations were performed in constant-volume ensembles with and without a thermostat coupled to the atomic degrees of freedom, at 298K and from 298K to well above the crystal melting temperature, respectively. Fields were applied along the a and c crystallographic directions. Both the Lekner and Ewald techniques were used to handle long-range electrostatics and the impact of different choices of Ewald parameters on the results has been evaluated. It was found that the ions respond rapidly to the field. The peaks and troughs in the Ti–Ti radial distribution functions were sharpened relative to the zero-field case at the instants of maximum electric field intensity, but little evidence of this was found for the Ti–O or O–O distributions. For pure Newtonian dynamics, the 500GHz field excited the vibrational modes to the greatest extent, raising the system temperature at the fastest rate. For temperatures above 2000–2500K, the crystal structure was found to melt. In the canonical ensemble, the 50GHz field led to the greatest enhancement of ionic translational mobility.

AB  - Abstract: Foodborne illness outbreaks and product recalls are occasionally associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) sandwiches and other “heat and eat” multi-component RTE products. Ionizing radiation can inactivate foodborne pathogens on meat and poultry, fruits and vegetables, seafood, and RTE meat products. However, less data are available on the ability of low-dose ionizing radiation, doses under 5kGy typically used for pasteurization purposes, to inactivate pathogenic bacteria on complex multi-component food products. In this study, the efficacy of ionizing radiation to inactivate Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Yersinia enterocolitica on RTE foods including a “frankfurter on a roll”, a “beef cheeseburger on a bun” and a “vegetarian cheeseburger on a bun” was investigated. The average D-10 values, the radiation dose needed to inactivate 1log10 of pathogen, by bacterium species, were 0.61, 0.54, 0.47, 0.36 and 0.15kGy for Salmonella spp., S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, and Y. enterocolitica, respectively when inoculated onto the three product types. These results indicate that irradiation may be an effective means for inactivating common foodborne pathogens including Salmonella spp, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Y. enterocolitica in complex RTE food products such as ‘heat and eat” sandwich products.

AB  - Chemical synapses are asymmetric cell junctions that mediate communication between neurons. Multidomain scaffolding proteins of the Shank family act as major organizing elements of the ‘postsynaptic density’ – that is, the cytoskeletal protein matrix associated with the postsynaptic membrane. A recent study has shown that the C-terminal sterile α-motif or ‘SAM domain’ of Shank3 (also known as ProSAP2) can form two-dimensional sheets of helical fibers. Assembly and packaging of these fibers are markedly enhanced by the presence of Zn2+ ions. Zn2+ can be released together with glutamate from synaptic vesicles and can enter the postsynaptic cell through specific ionotropic receptors. Based on these observations, we propose a new model of synaptic plasticity in which Zn2+ influx directly and instantly modulates the structure and function of the postsynaptic density.

AB  - In soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), a chromosomal region defined by 3 closely linked loci, k2 (tan-saddle seed coat), Mdb1-n (malate dehydrogenase 1 null), and y20 (yellow foliage), is highly mutable. A total of 31 mutants have been reported from this region. In this study, a mutation with tan-saddle seed coat was found from bulk-harvested seed of cultivar Kenwood, Genetic analysis established that dais tan-saddle seed coat mutation is allelic to the k2 locus and inherited as a recessive gene. Simple sequence repeat analysis showed that this mutant is not a contaminant from other existing k2 mutants. The mutant was named Kenwood-k2. To lest for genetic instability at the k2 Mdb1-n y20 chromosomal region, Kenwood-k2 was crossed reciprocally with cultivars Harosoy and Williams. No new mutants were found in F2 families, in the ,frenetic instability tests of T239 (k2) with cultivar Williams, 3 new mutants with yellow foliage (y20) and malate dehydrogenase 1 null (Mdb1-n) were identified. In the genetic instability tests of T261 (k2 Mdb1-n) with cultivar Williams, no new mutants were found. The Kenwood-k2 and the 3 yellow-foliage, malate dehydrogenase 1-null mutants provide additional genetic materials to study chromosomal aberrations in this mutable/unstable chromosomal region.

AB  - Abstract: Birds have much higher plasma glucose and fatty acid levels compared to mammals. In addition, they are resistant to insulin-induced decreases in blood glucose. Recent studies have demonstrated that decreasing fatty acid utilization alleviates insulin resistance in mammals, thereby decreasing plasma glucose levels. This has yet to be examined in birds. In the present study, the levels of glucose and β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB), a major ketone body and indicator of fatty acid utilization, were measured after the administration of chicken insulin, acipimox (an anti-lipolytic agent), or insulin and acipimox in mourning doves (Zenaidura macroura). Insulin significantly decreased whole blood glucose levels (19%), but had no effect on BOHB concentrations. In contrast, acipimox decreased blood BOHB levels by 41%, but had no effect on whole blood glucose. In addition to changes in blood composition, levels of glucose uptake by various tissues were measured after the individual and combined administration of insulin and acipimox. Under basal conditions, the uptake of glucose appeared to be greatest in the kidney followed by the brain and skeletal muscle with negligible uptake by heart, liver and adipose tissues. Acipimox significantly decreased glucose uptake by brain (58% in cortex and 55% in cerebellum). No significant effect of acipimox was observed in other tissues. In summary, the acute inhibition of lipolysis had no effect on glucose uptake in the presence or absence of insulin. This suggests that free fatty acids alone may not be contributing to insulin resistance in birds. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: 3-Hydroxy-α-calacorene was identified in extracts from cold-shocked seedlings of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), both of which are members of the Malvaceae family. (−)-3-Hydroxy-α-calacorene was isolated from Heterotheca inuloides Cass. (Asteraceae). HPLC on a chiral stationary phase column showed that the 3-hydroxy-α- calacorene from cotton and kenaf had the same relative configuration, while that from H. inuloides was of the opposite configuration. X-ray crystallographic analysis established the absolute configuration of the compound in H. inuloides as (8R)-(−)-3-hydroxy-α-calacorene. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Feed deprivation is commonly used by the poultry industry to induce molting and stimulate multiple egg-laying cycles. However, feed deprivation has been observed experimentally to increase susceptibility of poultry to Salmonella infections. Previous studies indicated that alfalfa was efficacious in reducing Salmonella; the present investigation was designed to evaluate the efficacy of combined alfalfa and layer diets on Salmonella colonization. Leghorn hens over 50 wk of age were divided into 12 groups of hens and placed in individual laying cages. One week prior to dietary changes, hens were put on an 8L:16D photoperiod that continued for the 9-d experiment. Hens were challenged orally with 104 cfu of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) on d 4 of treatment and cultured for SE at the termination of the 9-d study. Two independent experiments were conducted consisting of the following treatment groups: nonfed hens, full-fed standard commercial layer diet, 100% alfalfa meal diet, a 90% alfalfa meal/10% standard commercial layer diet, and a 70% alfalfa meal/30% standard commercial layer diet. When evaluating SE colonization in the ceca (Exp. 1), a reduction (P < 0.05) was seen in the 100% alfalfa meal diet and the 70% alfalfa meal/30% standard commercial layer diet treatment groups when compared with the controls with Log10 values of 0.54, 0.44, and 2.82, respectively. Evaluation of physiological parameters showed the alfalfa treatment groups had reductions (P < 0.05) in weight loss, ovary weight, and feed consumption when compared with the full-fed standard commercial layer diet hens, and these results were comparable with the nonfed hens. In Exp. 2, all of the treatment groups had a reduction (P < 0.05) in SE colonization of the ceca when compared with the controls. There were also similar physiological reductions in weight loss, ovary weight, and feed consumption when birds were fed the alfalfa diets in Exp. 2. These data suggest that alfalfa can potentially be combined with layer ration to limit SE infection and still induce a molt comparable with feed withdrawal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Bovine abortions due to Neospora caninum infection have been reported worldwide and its economic impact on the beef industry has been acknowledged as a problem. Uruguay has the largest export value of beef per acre in South America. However, no data on the prevalence of N. caninum infection have been available in this country. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and distribution of N. caninum infection in beef cattle in Uruguay through a nationwide survey. A two stage sampling design was used with farms being selected in stage one and animals being selected in stage two. A brief questionnaire was administered on each farm. Seroprevalence of N. caninum in 4444 beef cattle from 229 farms in all the counties, except Montevideo, of Uruguay was determined by an ELISA. The data were then analyzed to identify associations between infection and variables such as type of animal (cow or heifer), herd size, use of veterinary advice, productivity of the soil in relation to the national average, use of improved grass, use of mineral salts, use of supplemental feed, and presence of a dog(s) on the farm. The estimated proportion of positive farms for all the beef cattle operations was 69.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 53.7–84.7). The overall cattle seroprevalence was estimated as 13.9% (95% CI, 11.6–16.3). The prevalence estimation by animal category was 14.3% (95% CI, 11.4–17.2) for beef cows and 12.9% (95% CI, 10.0–15.8) for beef heifers. There was no significant difference in the estimated prevalence between the two animal types. There was no significant difference in the animal level prevalence of N. caninum infection among different herd sizes. None of the herd demographic or management variables was significantly associated with the seropositivity to N. caninum infection. In conclusion, these results show that N. caninum infection is common among beef herds across Uruguay. Since the beef industry is one of the key industries in Uruguay, the economic effect and risk factors of N. caninum infection among beef cattle in this country should be further evaluated in the near future.

AB  - Abstract: Simple, reliable and sensitive analytical methods to determine the anions, such as fluoride, monofluorophaosphate, glycerophosphate related to anticaries are necessary for basic investigations of anticaries and quality control of dentifrices. A method for the simultaneous determination of organic acids, organic anions and inorganic anions in the sample of commercial toothpaste is proposed. Nine anions (fluoride, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, monofluorophaosphate, glycerophosphate and oxalic acid) were analyzed by means of ion chromatography using a gradient elution with KOH as mobile phase, IonPac AS18 as the separation column and suppressed conductivity detection. Optimized analytical conditions were further validated in terms of accuracy, precision and total uncertainty and the results showed the reliability of the IC method. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of the retention time and peak area of all species were less than 0.170 and 1.800%, respectively. The correlation coefficients for target analytes ranged from 0.9985 to 0.9996. The detection limit (signal to noise ratio of 3:1) of this method was at low ppb level (<15ppb). The spiked recoveries for the anions were 96–103%. The method was applied to toothpaste without interferences. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A single-column method for the simultaneous determination of common cations and transition metals in real samples is proposed in this paper. Eleven cations (copper, lithium, sodium, ammonium, potassium, cobalt, nickel, magnesium, calcium, strontium and zinc) were separated and analyzed by means of ion chromatography using an isocratic elution with 2.5mM methane sulfonic acid and 0.8mM oxalic acid as mobile phase, IonPac SCS1 (250mm×4mm I.D.) as the separation column and non-suppressed conductor detection. Optimized analytical conditions were further validated in terms of accuracy, precision and total uncertainty and the results showed the reliability of the IC method. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the retention time and peak area were less than 0.04 and 1.30%, respectively. The coefficients of determination for cations ranged from 0.9988 to 1.000. The method developed was successfully applied to determination of cations in samples of beer and bottled mineral water. The spiked recoveries for the cations were 94–106%. The method was applied to beer and beverage without interferences. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: There is an increasing need to know the concentrations of chromium(III) and (VI) separately rather than only the total chromium content. A method is described for accomplishing this very quickly using only low-cost, portable equipment. Two small, resin-loaded extraction disks are placed one on top of the other in a plastic holder. Then a syringe containing the aqueous sample is attached to the holder and the sample is pushed through the disks. In a matter of seconds, all of the chromium(VI) is retained on the top anion-exchange disk and chromium(III) is extracted by the second cation-exchange disk. The concentrations on each disk are several hundredfold higher than they were in the original sample. The amounts of chromium(III) and (VI) extracted are measured directly on the surface of the respective disks by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Despite the low molar absorptivity of chromium(III) in aqueous solution, the concentration on the upper most layer on the extraction disk is high enough to permit the determination of chromium(III) in samples at the low mg/L range. Chromium(VI) can also be determined at low to sub-mg/L concentrations. A study of the cation-exchange disks was undertaken to compare the performance characteristics of disks containing sulfonated resins and those with iminodiacetate functionality. In addition, data are presented to show the effects of heating the iminodiacetate disks after the initial extraction. The disks were heated in hot water for 15–30min to complete the slow complexation reaction on the surface. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The results, based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 23.8 pb−1 at , are given for both charged current and neutral current deep inelastic scattering for both positive and negative values of the longitudinal polarisation of the positron beam. Single differential cross sections are presented for the kinematic region . The measured cross sections are compared to the predictions of the Standard Model. A fit to the data yields , which is consistent within two standard deviations with the absence of right-handed charged currents in the Standard Model. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The potential utilization of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) as a cellulosic energy crop was evaluated as a component of a projected future national network of biorefineries designed to increase national reliance on renewable energy from American farms. Empirical data on yields of switchgrass from a network of experimental plots were coupled with data on switchgrass physiology and switchgrass breeding progress to provide reasonable expectations for rates of improvement over current yields. Historical breeding success with maize (Zea mays L.) was found to provide a reasonable model for projected linear rates of yield improvement of switchgrass based on documented progress to date. A physiologically based crop production model, ALMANAC, and an econometric model, POLYSYS. were utilized to estimate variability in switchgrass yield and resource utilization across the eastern two-thirds of the United States. ALMANAC provided yield estimates across 27 regional soil types and 13 years of weather data to estimate variability in relative rates of production and water use between switchgrass and maize. Current and future yield projections were used with POLYSYS to forecast rates of adaptation and economic impacts on regional agricultural markets. Significant positive impacts on US markets, including significant increases in farm income and significant reduction in the need for government subsidies+ were projected. This was based on expected technological progress in developing biorefineries that will significantly increase national energy self-sufficiency by producing feed protein, transportation fuel, and electrical power from cellulosic feedstocks.

AB  - Complementary BAC and BIBAC libraries were constructed from nuclear DNA of sunflower cultivar HA 89. The BAC library, constructed with BamHI in the pECBAC1 vector, contains 107,136 clones and has an average insert size of 140 kb. The BIBAC library was constructed with HindIII in the plant-transformation-competent binary vector pCLD04541 and contains 84,864 clones, with an average insert size of 137 kb. The two libraries combined contain 192,000 clones and are equivalent to approximately 8.9 haploid genomes of sunflower (3,000 Mb/1C), and provide a greater than 99% probability of obtaining a clone of interest. The frequencies of BAC and BIBAC clones carrying chloroplast or mitochondrial DNA sequences were estimated to be 2.35 and 0.04%, respectively, and insert-empty clones were less than 0.5%. To facilitate chromosome engineering and anchor the sunflower genetic map to its chromosomes, one to three single- or low-copy RFLP markers from each linkage group of sunflower were used to design pairs of overlapping oligonucleotides (overgos). Thirty-six overgos were designed and pooled as probes to screen a subset (5.1×) of the BAC and BIBAC libraries. Of the 36 overgos, 33 (92%) gave at least one positive clone and 3 (8%) failed to hit any clone. As a result, 195 BAC and BIBAC clones representing 19 linkage groups were identified, including 76 BAC clones and 119 BIBAC clones, further verifying the genome coverage and utility of the libraries. These BAC and BIBAC libraries and linkage group-specific clones provide resources essential for comprehensive research of the sunflower genome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A nuclear male-sterile mutant, NMS 360, induced by streptomycin from an inbred maintainer line HA 89, possesses a single recessive gene, ms9, controlling male sterility. The present study identified DNA markers linked to the ms9 gene in an F2 population derived from the cross of NMS 360 × RHA 271 and maps the ms9 gene to an existing sunflower SSR linkage map. Bulked segregant analysis was performed using the target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) marker technique and the simple sequence repeats (SSR) technique. From 444 primer combinations, six TRAP markers linked with the ms9 gene were amplified. Two markers, Ts4p03-202 and Tt3p09-529, cosegregated with the ms9 gene. The other four markers, To3d14-310, Tt3p17-390, Ts4p23-300, and Tt3p09-531, linked with ms9 at a distance of 1.2, 3.7, 10.3, and 22.3 cM, respectively. Thirty SSR primers from 17 linkage groups of a PHA × PHB cultivated sunflower linkage map were screened among the two parents and the F2 population. SSR primer ORS 705 of linkage group 10 was tightly linked to ms9 at a distance of 1.2 cM. The ms9 gene was subsequently mapped to linkage group 10 of the public sunflower SSR linkage map. The markers that were tightly linked with the ms9 gene will be useful in marker-assisted selection of male-sterile plants among segregating populations, and will facilitate the isolation of the ms9 gene by map-based cloning.

AB  - Milling and baking quality traits in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) were studied by QTL analysis in the ITMI population, a set of 114 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) generated from a synthetic-hexaploid (W7985) × bread-wheat (Opata 85) cross. Grain from RILs grown in U.S., French, and Mexican wheat-growing regions was assayed for kernel-texture traits, protein concentration and quality, and dough strength and mixing traits. Only kernel-texture traits showed similar genetic control in all environments, with Opata ha alleles at the hardness locus Ha on chromosome arm 5DS increasing grain hardness, alkaline water retention capacity, and flour yield. Dough strength was most strongly influenced by Opata alleles at 5DS loci near or identical to Ha. Grain protein concentration was associated not with high-molecular-weight glutenin loci but most consistently with the Gli-D2 gliadin locus on chromosome arm 6DS. In Mexican-grown material, a 2DS locus near photoperiod-sensitivity gene Ppd1 accounted for 25% of variation in protein, with the ppd1-coupled allele associated with higher (1.1%) protein concentration. Mixogram traits showed most influence from chromosomal regions containing gliadin or low-molecular-weight glutenin loci on chromosome arms 1AS, 1BS, and 6DS, with the synthetic hexaploid contributing favorable alleles. Some RI lines showed quality values consistently superior to those of the parental material, suggesting the potential of further evaluating new combinations of alleles from diploid and tetraploid relatives, especially alleles of known storage proteins, for improvement of quality traits in wheat cultivars.

AB  - Abstract: DNA microarrays were developed for rapid identification of different serogroups of Escherichia coli in a single platform. Oligonucleotides, as well as PCR products from genes in the O antigen gene clusters of E. coli serogroups O7, O104, O111, and O157 were spotted onto glass slides. This was followed by hybridization with labeled long PCR products of the entire O antigen gene clusters of these serogroups. Results demonstrated that microarrays consisting of either oligonucleotides or PCR products generated specific signals for each serogroup. This is the first report describing the development of model DNA microarrays for determining the serogroup of E. coli strains. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A cold-sensitive Listeria monocytogenes mutant designated cld-14 was obtained by transposon Tn917 mutagenesis. The gene interrupted by Tn917 in cld-14 was the L. monocytogenes LMOf2365_1485 homolog, which exhibits 45.7% homology to the Bacillus subtilis yqfF locus. LMOf2365_1485, here designated pgpH, encodes a putative integral membrane protein with a predicted molecular mass of 81 kDa. PgpH is predicted to contain a conserved N-terminal signal peptide sequence, seven transmembrane helices, and a hydrophilic C terminus, which likely extends into the cytosol. The Tn917 insertion in pgpH is predicted to result in production of a premature polypeptide truncated at the fifth transmembrane domain. The C terminus of PgpH, which is probably absent in cld-14, contains a highly conserved HD domain that belongs to a metal-dependent phosphohydrolase family. Strain cld-14 accumulated higher levels of (p)ppGpp than the wild type accumulated, indicating that the function of PgpH may be to adjust cellular (p)ppGpp levels during low-temperature growth. The cld-14pgpH+ complemented strain was able to grow at a low temperature, like the parent strain, providing direct evidence that the activity of PgpH is important in low-temperature adaptation. Because of its predicted membrane location, PgpH may play a critical role in sensing the environmental temperature and altering cellular (p)ppGpp levels to allow the organism to adapt to low temperatures.

AB  - Abstract: Using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, we examined genetic variability of the moss Thuidium cymbifolium (Thuidiaceae) sampled from three types of spruce (Picea asperata) stands: an intact stand, naturally regenerated stands after clearcut harvests, and planted stands after clearcut harvests in the Miyaluo area, western Sichuan of China. Stands of the latter two types were of various age since the last clearcut. Results showed that the population of T. cymbifolium from the intact stand displayed the highest level of genetic diversity, and populations from the planted stands exhibited significantly higher levels than the naturally regenerated stands. In planted stands, genetic variation within populations increased over time. These findings indicated that habitat destruction by forest harvesting led to the reduction in genetic variation within populations, but that given time, artificial reforestation after clearcut was effective in promoting the recovery of genetic diversity in the recolonized moss species. Therefore, lengthening the normal felling rotation of plantations should be favored to restore and conserve genetic diversity in recolonized species. In addition, thinning young plantations via selective logging may provide heterogenous microhabitats similar to those in the old stands, and thereby facilitate the development of bryophyte communities and the increase of genetic variation of the recolonized mosses.

AB  - Abstract: To evaluate lead exposure among children living in border communities, the states of Arizona and New Mexico in the United States (US), and the states of Sonora and Chihuahua in Mexico collaboratively requested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide technical assistance to document pediatric blood lead levels (BLLs) in children living along this part of the US/Mexico border. Two studies were conducted to evaluate BLLs of children aged 1–6 years. In 1998, 1210 children were tested in the Arizona/Sonora study; in 1999, 874 children were tested in New Mexico/Chihuahua. Overall geometric mean BLL was 32.5μg/l (95% Confidence Interval 31.5–33.5) with BLLs ranging from below limit of detection to 320.0μg/l. Mean BLLs were higher among children living on the Mexican side of the border (43.2μg/l) compared to those on the US side (22.3μg/l). Mean BLLs ranged from 14.9 to 31.2μg/l at the US sites and from 26.9 to 55.2μg/l at the Mexican sites. This study used a convenience sample and cannot be considered representative of the general population. Nonetheless, the range of mean BLLs among the sites and especially the higher mean BLLs among children living in the border communities in Mexico suggests different exposures to lead and warrants further attention.

AB  - Abstract: Various subsets of extranodal marginal zone lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT lymphomas) have been associated with infectious organisms. Most notable of these is the association of gastric MALT lymphomas with Helicobacter pylori infection. In a recent publication Ferreri et al. [Ferreri AJ, Guidoboni M, Ponzoni M, De Conciliis C, Dell’Oro S, Fleischhauer K, et al. Evidence for an association between Chlamydia psittaci and ocular adnexal lymphomas. J Natl Cancer Inst 2004;96:586–94] reported the presence of C. psittaci DNA in 80% of 40 ocular adnexal lymphomas. Similar to the gastric MALT lymphoma data, a subset of these patients responded well to antibiotic treatment. We analyzed a set of ocular adnexal lymphomas and benign (non-neoplastic) lesions for evidence of C. psittaci DNA in patients from New York State. No evidence of C. psittaci DNA was seen in seven MALT-type ocular adnexal lymphomas, four non-MALT ocular lymphomas, one Langerhans histiocytosis, and five reactive lymphoproliferations. We eliminated several possible reasons that would cause our study to fail to find C. psittaci DNA, including the presence of PCR inhibitors, inadequate template DNA, and sequence diversity in the target region in C. psittaci.

AB  - Abstract: Laser ignition has become an active research topic in recent years because it has the potential to replace the conventional electric spark plugs in engines that are required to operate under much higher compression ratios, faster compression rates, and much leaner fuel-to-air ratios than gas engines today. It is anticipated that the igniter in these engines will face with pressures as high as 50MPa and temperatures as high as 4000K. Using the conventional ignition system, the required voltage and energy must be greatly increased (voltages in excess of 40kV) to reliably ignite the air and fuel mixture under these conditions. Increasing the voltage and energy does not always improve ignitability but it does create greater reliability problem. The objective of this paper is to review past work to identify some fundamental issues underlying the physics of the laser spark ignition process and research needs in order to bring the laser ignition concept into the realm of reality.

AB  - Abstract: Equations for the five-point rectangle or diamond arrays represent the first step in the interpolation of particular configurations of measurements in prismatic array. This paper illustrates alternative five-point interpolating equations. The nine-point cube can be interpolated by polynomial equations that are based on an alternative set of quadratic-term coefficients. The equations are easy to apply and they estimate first-, second-, and third-order effects. The accuracies of the estimates rendered by the five- and nine-point equations may be sufficient to interest experimentalists. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This study was intended to establish the extent which amino acids (AAs) and glucose are net metabolized by the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ruminant sheep when intestinal protein supply is varied. Wether sheep (n = 4, 33 ± 2.0 kg) were fitted with catheters for measurement of net absorption by the mesenteric (MDV) and portal-drained (PDV) viscera and a catheter inserted into the duodenum for casein infusions. Sheep received a fixed amount of a basal diet that provided adequate metabolizable energy (10.9 M J/d) but inadequate metabolizable protein (75 g/d) to support 300-g gain per day. Four levels of casein infusion [0 (water), 35, 70, and 105 g/d], each infused for 5.5 d, were assigned to sheep according to a 4 × 4 Latin square design. [methyl-²H3]leucine was infused (8 h) into the duodenum while [1-13C]leucine plus [6-²H2]glucose were infused (8 h) into a jugular vein. With the exception of glutamate and glutamine, net absorption of AAs increased linearly (P < 0.05, R² = 0.46–1.79 for MDV; P < 0.05, R² = 0.6–1.58 for PDV) with casein infusion rate. Net absorption by the PDV accounted for < 100% of the additional supplies of leucine, valine, and isoleucine (0.6–0.66, P < 0.05) from casein infusion, whereas net absorption by the MDV accounted for 100% of the additional essential AA supply. Glucose absorption (negative) and utilization of arterial glucose supply by the GIT remained unchanged. There was a positive linear (P < 0.05) relation between transfer of plasma urea to the GIT and arterial urea concentration (MDV, P < 0.05, r = 0.90; PDV, P < 0.05, r= 0.93). The ruminant GIT appears to metabolize increasing amounts of the branched-chain AAs and certain nonessential AAs when the intestinal supply of protein is increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: An extension of a three-dimensional model proposed by for amorphous granular materials to include the effects of initial and induced anisotropy is presented in this paper. The proposed model can also be considered as a three-dimensional generalization of a model recently developed by for the planar deformation of granular materials. The main ingredients of the model include the dilatant double shearing mechanism (), the concept of fabric (), and an extension of the Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion () to three dimensions. The constitutive equations are implemented in the finite element program ABAQUS/Explicit () by developing a user-material subroutine to conduct numerical triaxial compression tests for samples of granular materials with different initial anisotropy. The numerical results agree with the observed behavior and show that the extended constitutive model is capable of capturing the strength anisotropy of granular materials. Employing the anisotropic model developed here, we have also repeated the numerical simulation of the stress state in a static conical sand pile conducted earlier by . We find that fabric has little or no influence on the vertical stress distribution except at the base of the sand pile where the peak value of this stress is slightly higher than that predicted by the model of which does not include the effects of fabric. We also find that the direction of the principal compressive stress changes from vertical at points away from the center of the pile to almost horizontal at points close to the center of the pile. This result provides a possible explanation for the observed dip in the vertical stress distribution in sand piles. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Cross-fostering has been attempted opportunistically with endangered canids as a means of increasing populations. Due to the usefulness of cross-fostering for conservation, an understanding of factors influencing success rates is essential. Using captive coyotes (Canis latrans) as a model, we assessed the willingness of adult pairs to foster young born to other parents. We assessed the efficacy of fostering pups into existing litters (augmentation) and completely switching litters (replacement). We augmented four litters with two pups of similar age when pups were <7 days old. In addition, we replaced four entire litters when pups were <10 days old. We also augmented litters with pups 3–4 and 6–7 weeks of age. Survival, weight gain, and dominance status of pups were monitored for six weeks and compared to four control litters to determine success. All complete litter replacements were successful with survival rates among replaced pups (89.5%) similar to those of control litters (90%). For augmented litters, pup survival was dependent on the age at which fostering occurred. All pups fostered into 4 litters at <1 week of age survived beyond 6 weeks of age, two of three fostering attempts with 3–4-week-old pups succeeded, while neither of two attempts to foster 6-week-old pups succeeded. Surviving fostered pups appeared to be at no disadvantage. Weight gains were similar for pups in all treatments, and there was no evidence of reduced dominance status among fostered pups as compared to natal pups in the same litters. These results illustrate that genetic relatedness is not essential for successful fostering and does not appear to alter dominance patterns; however the age at which pups are fostered may affect the success of fostering attempts.

AB  - Abstract: A cooperative classical biological control project against the pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), infestation in the low-desert region of California was initiated in the fall of 1999. Subsequently, the parasitoids Anagyrus kamali Moursi (Encyrtidae), Gyranusoidea indica Shafee, Alam & Agarwal (Encyrtidae) and Allotropa sp. nr. mecrida (Walker) (Platygastridae) were reared and released for permanent establishment. Population densities of mealybug and percent parasitism were monitored at a number of mulberry tree and carob tree sites for five consecutive years. The population density of M. hirsutus within the first year was reduced by approximately 95%. Over the entire 5-year period of the project, the average regional population density of the mealybug exhibited a continued decline. Anagyrus kamali was the predominant parasitoid, often parasitizing in excess of 50% of the mid-to-late stage M. hirsutus in the first 2 years following the parasitoid’s release. Although Gyranusoidea indica was rarely found from spring through early fall, it did represent 40% of the parasitoid species composition during winter. By 2005, the platygastrid parasitoid, Allotropa sp. nr. mecrida did not appear to be established following numerous releases in 2003 and 2004. Hyperparasitism of A. kamali by resident species (Marietta sp. &Chartocerus sp.) was frequently over 35% during 2000. However, hyperparasitism was considerably lower during each successive year, coincident with declining densities of both mealybug and the primary parasitoid host. Field collections of two other species of mealybugs common in Imperial Valley demonstrated that they are not being utilized as alternate non-target hosts by the newly introduced parasitoids.

AB  - The dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans, is one of the most destructive copper-tolerant fungi causing timber decay in buildings in temperate regions. Calcium and oxalic acid have been shown to play important roles in the mechanism of wood decay. The effect of calcium on growth and decay was evaluated for 12 strains of S. lacrymans and compared to five brown-rot fungi. This was done by treating copper citrate (CC)-treated Southern yellow pine (SYP) wood with a CaCl2 solution and estimating the decay rate and amount of soluble oxalic acid in an ASTM soil block test. Decay by S. lacrymans was found to be significantly inhibited by treatment with CaCl2 in the presence of copper. In addition, calcium showed no effect on two strains of S. lacrymans and one Serpula himantioides strain in non-copper-treated SYP wood blocks. The growth rate of S. lacrymans was not affected on malt extract agar containing CaCl2. In summary, a marked decrease was observed in the decay capacity of S. lacrymans in pine treated with CC+CaCl2. The amount of soluble oxalic acid was measured in CC-treated blocks and blocks also treated with CaCl2. Of the comparative brown-rot fungi, both Antrodia vaillantii (TFFH 294) and Postia placenta (Mad 698) displayed notable wood decay despite CaCl2 treatment while the remaining strains were inhibited.

AB  - Abstract: The piggyBac transposable element was originally discovered in a Trichoplusia ni cell line and nearly identical elements were subsequently discovered in the tephritid fly, Bactrocera dorsalis. This suggested the existence of piggyBac in additional insects and this study shows highly conserved, though not identical, piggyBac sequences in the noctuid species Heliocoverpa armigera, H. zea, and Spodoptera frugiperda, as well as new piggyBac sequences from the T. ni organismal genome. Genomic piggyBac elements could not be unambiguously identified in several other moth species indicating a discontinuous presence of piggyBac in the Lepidoptera. Most sequences have greater than 95% nucleotide identity to the original IFP2 piggyBac, except for a more diverged sequence in S. frugiperda, having ∼78% identity. Variants of 1.3 and 0.8kb sequences found in both H. armigera and H. zea most likely became established by interbreeding, supporting the notion that the species are conspecific. None of the independent piggyBac sequences isolated from T. ni larval genomes are identical to IFP2, though all have an uninterrupted reading frame with the potential for encoding a functional transposase. The piggyBac sequences from T. ni and the Helicoverpa species, as well as those previously reported from B. dorsalis, all share three common nucleotide substitutions resulting in a single amino acid substitution in the transposase. This suggests that the original IFP2 piggyBac is a related variant of a predecessor element that became widespread. The existence of conserved piggyBac elements, some of which may have been transmitted horizontally between lepidopteran species, raises important considerations for the stability and practical use of piggyBac transformation vectors.

AB  - The article describes transgenic lines expressing plum pox virus (PPV)-specific hairpin RNA under the control of a strong constitutive promoter, which is the duplicated 35S promoter from the cauliflower mosaic virus. The transgenic lines has been to have increased resistance to an isolate of PPV from Canada using enzyme-linked immunosorbet assay. The induction of PPV-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing is the mechanism for the increased resistance in these lines.

AB  - Abstract: A study was done to characterize the shedding of foodborne pathogenic bacteria by Caenorhabditis elegans, evaluate the persistence of worm populations cocultured with foodborne pathogens, and determine if C. elegans disperses ingested pathogens in soil as a result of shedding. Escherichia. coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica serotype Poona, and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as E. coli OP50, a non-pathogenic strain, were studied. Synchronous populations of C. elegans were fed for 24h on confluent lawns of nalidixic acid-adapted bacteria. C. elegans shed viable cells of ingested bacteria on tryptic soy agar supplemented with nalidixic acid (50μgml−1) (TSAN) throughout a 5-h post-feeding period. C. elegans persisted for up to 10 days by feeding on bacteria that had been shed and grew on TSAN. Eggs harvested from C. elegans cultured on shed foodborne pathogens had the same level of viability as those collected from C. elegans grown on shed E. coli OP50. After 6–7 days, 78%, 64%, 64%, and 76% of eggs laid by C. elegans that had fed on E. coli O157:H7, S. Poona, L. monocytogenes, and E. coli OP50, respectively, were viable. Worms fed on E. coli O157:H7 were inoculated into soil and soil amended with turkey manure compost. Populations of C. elegans persisted in compost-amended soil for at least 7 days but declined in unamended soil. E. coli O157:H7 was detected at 4 and 6 days post inoculation in compost-amended and unamended soil, and in unamended soil inoculated with E. coli OP50. Populations of E. coli O157:H7 in soil amended with turkey manure compost were significantly() higher than those in unamended soil. Results indicate that C. elegans can act as a vector to disperse foodborne pathogens in soil, potentially resulting in increased risk of contaminating the surface of pre-harvest fruits and vegetables.

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this paper is to incorporate the effects of fabric and its evolution into the Dilatant Double Shearing Model [Mehrabadi, M.M., Cowin, S.C., 1978. Initial planar deformation of dilatant granular materials. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 26, 269–284] for granular materials in order to capture the anisotropic behavior and the complex response of granular materials in cyclic shear loading. An important consequence of considering the fabric is that one can have unequal shearing rates along the two slip directions. This property leads to the non-coaxiality of the principal axes of stress and strain rate, which is more appropriate for a material that exhibits initial and induced anisotropy. In addition, we employ a fabric-dependent elasticity tensor with orthotropic symmetry. The model developed in this paper also predicts one of the experimentally observed characteristics of granular materials: the gradual concentration of the contact normals towards the maximum principal stress direction. We implement the constitutive equations into ABAQUS/Explicit by writing a user material subroutine in order to predict the strength anisotropy of granular materials in a plane strain biaxial compression test and investigate the mechanical behavior of granular materials under the cyclic shear loading conditions. The predictions from this model show good quantitative agreement with the experiments of [Park, C.S., 1990. Anisotropy in deformation and strength properties of sands in plane strain compression, Masters Thesis, University of Tokyo; Park, C.S., Tatsuoka, F., 1994. Anisotropic strength and deformation of sands in plane strain compression. In: XIII ICSMFE, New Delhi, India; Okada, N., 1992. Energy dissipation in inelastic flow of cohesionless granular media.

AB  - Eleven sequenced BACs were annotated and localized via FISH to tomato pachytene chromosomes providing the first global insights into the compositional differences of euchromatin and pericentromeric heterochromatin in this model dicot species. The results indicate that tomato euchromatin has a gene density (6.7 kb/gene) similar to that of Arabidopsis and rice. Thus, while the euchromatin comprises only 25% of the tomato nuclear DNA, it is sufficient to account for ∼90% of the estimated 38,000 nontransposon genes that compose the tomato genome. Moreover, euchromatic BACs were largely devoid of transposons or other repetitive elements. In contrast, BACs assigned to the pericentromeric heterochromatin had a gene density 10–100 times lower than that of the euchromatin and are heavily populated by retrotransposons preferential to the heterochromatin—the most abundant transposons belonging to the Jinling Ty3/gypsy-like retrotransposon family, Jinling elements are highly methylated and rarely transcribed. Nonetheless, they have spread throughout the pericentromeric heterochromatin in tomato and wild tomato species fairly recently—well after tomato diverged from potato and other related solanaceous species. The implications of these findings on evolution and on sequencing the genomes of tomato and other solanaceous species are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - By contrast to chloroplasts, our knowledge of amyloplasts—organelles that synthesize and store starch in heterotrophic plant tissues—is in a formative stage. While our understanding of what is considered their primary function, i.e. the biosynthesis and degradation of starch, has increased dramatically in recent years, relatively little is known about other biochemical processes taking place in these organelles. To help fill this gap, a proteomic analysis of amyloplasts isolated from the starchy endosperm of wheat seeds (10 d post-anthesis) has been conducted. The study has led to the identification of 289 proteins that function in a range of processes, including carbohydrate metabolism, cytoskeleton/plastid division, energetics, nitrogen and sulphur metabolism, nucleic acid-related reactions, synthesis of various building blocks, protein-related reactions, transport, signalling, stress, and a variety of other activities grouped under ‘miscellaneous’. The function of 12% of the proteins was unknown. The results highlight the role of the amyloplast as a starch-storing organelle that fulfills a spectrum of biosynthetic needs of the parent tissue. When compared with a recent proteomic analysis of whole endosperm, the current study demonstrates the advantage of using isolated organelles in proteomic studies. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - It has been demonstrated that horizontal and vertical transmission of Salmonella and Cam pylobacter can occur in broiler breeder flocks. The mechanism of this transmission is still unclear. Previously negative broiler breeder flocks have been reported to become positive with Salmonella, Cam pylobacter, or both after the introduction of ‘spike’ roosters at 45 wk of age. To determine whether the rooster semen is a possible source of transmission to hens for colonization, we evaluated the association of both Salmonella and Cam pylobacter spp. to segments (head, midpiece, and tail) of individual spermatozoa after artificial inoculation. Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella heidelberg, and Salmonella montevideo, or Cam pylobacter jejuni (in 0.85% saline) was added to a freshly collected (by abdominal massage) aliquot of pooled semen from roosters housed in individual cages. The semen and bacteria solutions were incubated 1 h at room temperature. Samples were fixed using Karnosvsky and Zamboni fixatives for 24 h prior to centrifuging and rinsing in 0.1 M cacodylate-HCl buffer. Individual aliquot samples were then subjected to both scanning (JSM-5800) and transmission (JEM-1210) electron microscopy. The scanning electron microscopy showed that Salmonella was associated with all 3 segments (head, midpiece, and tail) of the spermatozoa and apparently equally distributed. Campylobacter was mainly associated with the midpiece and tail segments; few isolates were located on the head segment. The transmission electron microscopy showed apparent attachment of Salmonella and Cam pylobacter to the spermatozoa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Aphthona nigriscutis is one of several species of Aphthona flea beetles that have been introduced into North America in an effort to control the weed, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula). It has been a very effective biological control agent at some locations but not at others. Overall genetic diversity is one parameter that could have an effect on Aphthona establishment at specific locations. We have examined the genetic diversity of mitochondrial DNA in populations of A. nigriscutis from several North American collection sites. The results indicate that the insects are divided into two mtDNA clades. About 78% of the individuals comprise a clade (A) that has little or no mtDNA diversity. The remaining insects in the other clade (B) display extensive diversity with 15 haplotypes observed. The two subpopulations coexist at most locations. The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia has been discovered in some individuals. About 86% of the individuals from mtDNA clade A tested positive for Wolbachia. Portions of the Wolbachia ftsZ and wspA genes were sequenced and the sequences have been shown to fall within the Wolbachia Supergroup A. None of the insects from clade B appear to be infected. The association of Wolbachia with one, but not both, mtDNA clades of A. nigriscutis may play a role in limiting genetic diversity within beetle populations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Model reactions for insect cuticle sclerotization: Cross-linking of recombinant cuticular proteins upon their laccase-catalyzed oxidative conjugation with catechols

AB  - Abstract: The quinone-tanning hypothesis for insect cuticle sclerotization proposes that N-acylcatecholamines are oxidized by a phenoloxidase to quinones and quinone methides, which serve as electrophilic cross-linking agents to form covalent cross-links between cuticular proteins. We investigated model reactions for protein cross-linking that occurs during insect cuticle sclerotization using recombinant pupal cuticular proteins from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, fungal or recombinant hornworm laccase-type phenoloxidase, and the cross-linking agent precursor N-acylcatecholamines, N-β-alanydopamine (NBAD) or N-acetyldopamine (NADA). Recombinant M. sexta pupal cuticular proteins MsCP36, MsCP20, and MsCP27 were expressed and purified to near homogeneity. Polyclonal antisera to these recombinant proteins recognized the native proteins in crude pharate brown-colored pupal cuticle homogenates. Furthermore, antisera to MsCP36, which contains a type-1 Rebers and Riddiford (RR-1) consensus sequence, also recognized an immunoreactive protein in homogenates of larval head capsule exuviae, indicating the presence of an RR-1 cuticular protein in a very hard, sclerotized and nonpigmented cuticle. All three of the proteins formed small and large oligomers stable to boiling SDS treatment under reducing conditions after reaction with laccase and the N-acylcatecholamines. The optimal reaction conditions for MsCP36 polymerization were 0.3mM MsCP36, 7.4mM NBAD and 1.0U/μl fungal laccase. Approximately 5–10% of the monomer reacted to yield insoluble oligomers and polymers during the reaction, and the monomer also became increasingly insoluble in SDS solution after reaction with the oxidized NBAD. When NADA was used instead of NBAD, less oligomer formation occurred, and most of the protein remained soluble. Radiolabeled NADA became covalently bound to the MsCP36 monomer and oligomers during cross-linking. Recombinant Manduca laccase (MsLac2) also catalyzed the polymerization of MsCP36. These results support the hypothesis that during sclerotization, insect cuticular proteins are oxidatively conjugated with catechols, a posttranslational process termed catecholation, and then become cross-linked, forming oligomers and subsequently polymers.

AB  - Abstract: Dielectric-based methods were used to determine nondestructively and simultaneously bulk density and moisture content in shelled peanuts from measurement of their relative complex permittivity at microwave frequencies (7–12GHz) and 24°C. The first method is based on direct relationships between the two components of the relative complex permittivity (dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor) and the bulk density and moisture content. The second method allows bulk density determination without knowledge of moisture content and temperature of shelled peanut samples from a complex-plane representation of the relative complex permittivity. Finally, moisture content in shelled peanuts is determined independent of bulk density changes with the use of density-independent permittivity functions. Statistical analysis provided bulk density and moisture content calibration equations at several microwave frequencies along with corresponding standard errors of calibration over wide ranges of bulk density and moisture content.

AB  - In a previous study, we identified Congo red-binding and -nonbinding phase variants of Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 strain ATCC 43895. The Congo red-binding variant, strain 43895OR, produced a dry, aggregative colony that was similar to the red, dry, and rough (rdar) phenotype characteristic of certain strains of Salmonella. In contrast, variant 43895OW produced a smooth and white colony morphology. In this study, we show that, similar to rdar strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, strain 43895OR forms large aggregates in broth cultures, firm pellicles at the air-medium interface on glass, and dense biofilms on glass and polystyrene. However, unlike S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, strain 43895OR does not stain positive for cellulose production. When strain 43895OR was fixed on agar, scanning electron microscopy showed cells expressing extracellular matrix (ECM) containing curli fibers. Strain 43895OW was devoid of any ECM or curli fibers on agar but showed expression of curli fibers during attachment to glass. Strain 43895OR produced >4-fold-larger amounts of biofilm than strain 43895OW on polystyrene, glass, stainless steel, and Teflon; formation was >3-fold higher in rich medium than in nutrient-limited medium. Biofilm-associated cells of both strains showed statistically greater resistance (P < 0.05) to hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium sanitizer than their respective planktonic cells. This study shows that the rdar phenotype of E. coli O157:H7 strain 43895OR is important in multicellular growth, biofilm formation, and resistance to sanitizers. However, the lack of cellulose production by strain 43895OR indicates important differences in the ECM composition compared to that of Salmonella. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Scope The recent publication by Yin (2013; Annals of Botany 112: 465–475) referred to in the title above provides an excellent review of modelling approaches to predict the impact of elevated CO2 on crop productivity, as well as on the controversy regarding whether yield responses observed in free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments are indeed lower than those from chamber-based experiments. However, the wheat experiments in the example of fig. 1 in Yin's paper had a flaw as the control plots lacked blowers that were in the FACE plots, which warmed the FACE plots at night and hastened plant development. This Viewpoint seeks to highlight this fact, and to comment on the relative merits of FACE and enclosure experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Biodiesel (BD) is a renewable fuel for compression ignition engines that is composed of the simple alkyl esters, usually methyl-, of fatty acids (FAME). It is typically produced via base-catalyzed transesterification between refined vegetable oil or animal fat (e.g., soybean oil, tallow) and an alcohol (e.g., methanol). This process can, however, be marginally cost-effective due to the high feedstock and processing costs. It is thus desirable to develop new catalytic routes that can efficiently convert less expensive feedstocks to BD. We report here on the application of a series of diarylammonium based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for converting a particularly low value, low quality lipid, trap grease, to FAME. In the course of a 1-h reaction at 125 °C these catalysts simultaneously esterified the free fatty acids (>90 wt% of the substrate) and transesterified the acylglycerols (<10 wt%) of the feedstock to FAME with greater than 95% overall conversion.

AB  - One refined and two crude glycerol (from biodiesel production) samples were utilized to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by Pseudomonas oleovorans NRRL B-14682. A batch culture fermentation protocol including 1% glycerol and an aeration rate of 3 standard liters per minute proved best for PHB synthesis (av. yield = 1.0 ± 0.2 g/L at 48 h) and efficient glycerol utilization. PHB molecular weights decreased as MeOH concentration increased. Refined glycerol resulted in PHB polymers with number average molecular weights ( M) of 314,000 g/mol which decreased by 17 and 90% as MeOH media concentrations increased to <0.005 and 0.85%, respectively. Proton (H) NMR demonstrated the presence of glycerol- and methoxy-based end-capping, which was confirmed by H diffusion experiments (DOSY analyses). NMR diffusion analyses of the PHB polymers established their diffusivities, and confirmed that their relative molecular sizes were dependent on the impurities in the glycerol. In addition, DOSY analyses indicated that each end-capped PHB polymer and the glycerol or methoxy groups bound to it had the same diffusion constants, demonstrating that they migrated together as covalent complexes. Non-covalent complexation was eliminated by physically mixing free glycerol with PHB synthesized from oleic acid; their respective diffusivities were notably faster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Previous studies have shown that bleaching negatively affects the flavor of 70% whey protein concentrate (WPC70), but bleaching effects on lower-protein products have not been established. Benzoyl peroxide (BP), a whey bleaching agent, degrades to benzoic acid (BA) and may elevate BA concentrations in dried whey products. No legal limit exists in the United States for BP use in whey, but international concerns exist. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide (HP) or BP bleaching on the flavor of 34% WPC (WPC34) and to evaluate residual BA in commercial and experimental WPC bleached with and without BP. Cheddar whey was manufactured in duplicate. Pasteurized fat-separated whey was subjected to hot bleaching with either HP at 500 mg/kg, BP at 50 or 100 mg/kg, or no bleach. Whey was ultrafiltered and spray dried into WPC34. Color [L*(lightness), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue)] measurements and norbixin extractions were conducted to compare bleaching efficacy. Descriptive sensory and instrumental volatile analyses were used to evaluate bleaching effects on flavor. Benzoic acid was extracted from experimental and commercial WPC34 and 80% WPC (WPC80) and quantified by HPLC. The b* value and norbixin concentration of BP-bleached WPC34 were lower than HP-bleached and control WPC34. Hydrogen peroxide-bleached WPC34 displayed higher cardboard flavor and had higher volatile lipid oxidation products than BP-bleached or control WPC34. Benzoyl peroxide-bleached WPC34 had higher BA concentrations than unbleached and HP-bleached WPC34 and BA concentrations were also higher in BP-bleached WPC80 compared with unbleached and HP-bleached WPC80, with smaller differences than those observed in WPC34. Benzoic acid extraction from permeate showed that WPC80 permeate contained more BA than did WPC34 permeate. Benzoyl peroxide is more effective in color removal of whey and results in fewer flavor side effects compared with HP and residual BA is decreased by ultrafiltration and diafiltration.

N2  - Alfalfa and other types of sprouts are known to harbour large populations of native microorganisms. As some of these microbes may be causes of reduced shelf life of the product (plant pathogens and other spoilage organisms) and sprouts may, on occasion, harbour bacteria pathogenic towards humans, the addition of antimicrobial compounds to the irrigation water may be warranted. In this study, we tested the efficacy of several antimicrobial compounds for reducing the native microbial populations on alfalfa sprouts during propagation. These compounds included H2O2, peroxyacetic acid+hydrogen peroxide (Tsunami 100TM), acidified NaClO2, NaClO2 (AquatizeTM), EDTA, Na3PO4 and NaOCl. When added to the irrigation water at various concentrations, none of the antimicrobial compounds reduced the levels of any class of native microflora by more than 1 log10 without evidence of phytotoxicity.

AB  - This paper examines housing demand using an integrated approach that combines residential decisions about choices of community in the Southern Appalachian region with the application of a Geographical Information System (GIS). The empirical model infers a distinctive heterogeneity in the characteristics of community choices. The results also indicate that socio-economic motives strongly affect urban housing demands while environmental amenities affect those of rural housing demand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study implements and tests a mathematical programming model to estimate interregional, interindustry transaction flows in a national system of economic regions based on an interregional accounting framework and initial information of interregional shipments. A national input–output (IO) table, regional data on gross output, value-added, exports, imports, and final demand at sector level are used as inputs to generate an interregional IO account that reconciles regional economic statistics and interregional transaction data. The model is tested using data from a multiregional global IO database and shows remarkable capacity to discover true interregional trade patterns from highly distorted initial estimates.

AB  - O’Brien D. J., Phillips J. L. and Patsiorkovsky V. V. (2005) Linking indigenous bonding and bridging social capital, Regional Studies 39 , 1041–1051. Reconciling indigenous bonding and bridging social capital remains a difficult issue in economic development and global issues of inequality. A failure to address this problem weakens the legitimacy of liberal democratic political institutions. Mancur Olson’s Logic of Collective Action (1971) is used as the starting point to identify the structural properties of bridging social capital, and the broad parameters within which strategies for using indigenous social capital to create these properties may be found. Empirical examples from the authors’ research are used to illustrate alternative ways and the costs and benefits of different strategies for linking indigenous bonding and bridging social capital.

AB  - The objective of this study is to evaluate farm, household, and financial characteristics of cash grain farmers’ decisions of whether to purchase revenue insurance. Using farm-level data these characteristics were identified by estimating a logit model of revenue insurance purchase decisions by farm operators. Results indicate that farm operators with the ability to self-insure through accumulation of sufficient wealth reserves measured in terms of the ratio of debts-to-assets, operators with off-farm income, and participation in production and marketing contracts, are more likely to pursue these strategies as a substitute for federal revenue insurance programmes. Further, study finds that older and wealthy cash grain farmers are less likely to buy revenue insurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This report demonstrates how existing national data can be used to first calculate upper limits on the average cost per participant and per outcome per state/territory for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). These upper limits can then be used by state EFNEP administrators to obtain more precise estimates for their states, based on their state-specific knowledge. Across all states, EFNEP appears most cost effective in nutrition practices, followed by food resource management practices, and then food safety practices. All but 3 states have cost per quality adjusted life years that are considered cost effective. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Stem-cement and cement-bone interfacial failures as well as cement fractures have been noted in cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) as the cause of aseptic loosening. Attempts to reduce the risk of femoral component loosening include improving the stem-cement interface by various coatings, using a textured or porous coated stem surfaces or by using a tapered stem having a highly-polished surface. The latter approach, often referred to as ''force-closed'' femoral stem design, would theoretically result in stem stabilization subsequent to debonding and 'taper-lock'. Previous work using three-dimensional finite element analysis has shown a state of stress at the stem-cement interface indicative of 'taper-lock' for the debonded stem and indicated that stem-cement interface friction and bone cement creep played a significant role in the magnitudes of stresses and subsidence of the stem. However, the previous analysis did not include the viscoelastic properties of bone, which has been hypothesized to permit additional expansion of the bone canal and allow additional stem subsidence (Lu and McKellop, 1997). The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of bone viscoelastic behavior on stem subsidence using a 3D finite element analysis. It was hypothesized that the viscoelastic behavior of bone in the hoop direction would allow expansion of the bone reducing the constraint on bone over time and permit additional stem subsidence, which may account for the discrepancies between predicted and clinical subsidence measurements. Analyses were conducted using physiological loads, 'average peak loads' and 'high peak loads' for 'normal patient' and 'active patient' (Bergmann et al., 2010) from which short and long term subsidence was predicted. Results indicated that bone creep does contribute to higher stem subsidence initially and after 10 years of simulated loading. However, it was concluded that the ''constraint'' upon the cement mantle is not mitigated enough to result in stem subsidence equivalent to that observed clinically. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Objective: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a multifunctional endocytic receptor that is highly expressed in adipocytes and the hypothalamus. Animal models and in vitro studies support a role for LRP1 in adipocyte metabolism and leptin signaling, but genetic polymorphisms have not been evaluated for obesity in people. Design and Methods: We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans ( n = 920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area.We examined whether dietary fats (eg., saturated, polyunsaturated) modulated the association of LRP1 rs1799986 with anthropometric traits. We studied a population-based sample of Puerto Ricans ( n = 920, aged 45-74 y) living in the Boston area. Results: In multivariable linear regression models, we dichotomized saturated fat intake and found significant interaction terms between total saturated fatty acids and LRP1 rs1799986 genotype for BMI (P=0.006) and hip ( P = 0.002). High intake of saturated fat was associated with higher BMI ( P = 0.001), waist ( P = 0.008) and hip (P=0.003) in minor allele carriers (CT+TT) compared to CC participants. Further analysis of dichotomized individual saturated fatty acids revealed that interactions were strongest for two individual longer chain fatty acids. High intake of palmitic acid (C16:0; P = 0.0007) and high stearic acid intake (C18:0; P = 0.005) were associated with higher BMI in T carriers. Interactions were not detected for polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusions: Gene-diet interactions at the LRP1 locus support the hypothesis that susceptibility to weight gain based on saturated fatty acids is modified by genotype and possibly by chain length. These results may facilitate the development of a panel of genetic candidates for use in optimizing dietary recommendations for obesity management. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Answering essentially any question with sample data requires variance estimates and these estimates depend critically on the sample design. The design information necessary to estimate variances for sample statistics from the US Current Population Survey (CPS) is not publicly released in order to protect respondent confidentiality. To circumvent this problem, the US Census Bureau provides a variance estimation methodology but it is only valid for a few specific point estimates. This paper discusses shortcomings of the Census Bureau methodology and proposes an alternative, general approximation methodology that produces variance estimates for a significantly wider class of statistics, including regression analysis. The proposed approach is based on resorting the data and assigning subsequent observations to synthetic clusters in a manner that creates similarities with the actual CPS sample. The synthetic design approach successfully approximates a baseline for comparison in 34 of the 37 sample estimates considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper illustrates that questionnaire design significantly affects estimates of household consumption and absolute poverty. In a between-groups designed experiment in El Salvador, longer, more detailed questions on consumption result in an estimate of mean, household consumption that is 31 percent greater than the estimate derived from a condensed version of the questionnaire. The distribution of household consumption from the long questionnaire first-order stochastically dominates the distribution from the short questionnaire over 96 percent of the range of the distribution. This difference in estimated consumption results in a measure of absolute, severe poverty from the short questionnaire that is 46 percent greater than the estimate derived from the long questionnaire. In contrast, the level of relative poverty is unaffected by the changes in questionnaire design. An implication of this paper is that modifications over time to questionnaires will result in spurious estimates of change in consumption and absolute poverty levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Utility has recently been proposed as a criterion for evaluating forecasts because of problems that arise from evaluations that focus exclusively on accuracy, which is the normative expectation for evaluating forecasts. Utility is used to evaluate the lagged ratio-correlation method as a short-term projection tool. The utility of the lagged ratio-correlation is compared with two alternatives, exponential extrapolation and the Cohort-Component Method, using data from a case study for Washington State counties at three points in time, 1970, 1980 and 1990. Together, these three projection methods represent the range of current practice in regard to resource requirements and accuracy. Each method's utility is measured using Proportionate Reduction In Error (PRE) techniques. These show the reduction in average error across counties that occurs by using each projection method instead of the previous census as a forecast of county population, which is virtually a no-cost forecasting tool. Reductions in error are examined relative to the higher "cost" associated with each of the three projection methods. The evaluation suggests that the lagged ratio-correlation method consistently has a high level of utility for all three timepoints. It achieves reductions in error that are comparable to those achieved by the Cohort-Component Method, yet with much less resource requirements. The exponential extrapolation method is found to have high and moderate utility in two of the three timepoints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article focuses on the role of international trade on climate change and agriculture. It emphasizes that for open economies the effect of climate change on agriculture in any individual country cannot be considered in isolation from the rest of the world. It is found that interregional adjustments in production and consumption will serve to buffer the severity of climate change impacts on world agriculture and result in relatively small impacts on domestic economies from a doubled carbon dioxide climate. Evaluation of climate change winners and losers requires consideration of global market changes as well as domestic yield effects. An important implication is that incentives countries have to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions depend on global price changes as well as country-specific changes in yield. Following from the yield results and confirming their economic analysis, it is found that developing countries appear at a greater disadvantage and the beneficial effects of carbon dioxide fertilization are critical in limiting the economic impacts.

AB  - Empirical applications of testing oligopoly power in different industries are based on the 'new empirical industrial organization' (NEIO) approach. Parallel to this approach, theoretical and empirical applications to testing oligopoly power in international trade have also emerged. A shortcoming of these approaches is that they do not account for the possibility that an industry, which is active in the domestic and international markets, may exhibit oligopoly power in both markets. We extend the existing models by simultaneously accounting for domestic and international components of four industries in testing for oligopoly power. We found that in some cases, industries exhibit oligopoly behaviour in either or both markets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Economic growth over the past two decades has failed to reduce income inequality. We contend that major reasons for this are the slowdown and bias in technological change (productivity growth). Given the complexity of the many interactions that take place, this phenomenon is best addressed in a general equilibrium context. For this purpose, we have developed a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with advanced features relating to income distribution. We perform a series of simulations based on recent overall productivity changes, but under various forms of technological change bias, factor mobility, and government budgetary balance. We find the labour-augmenting technological change cases to be most consistent with recent experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The implicit prices of the physical and intrinsic characteristics of soybeans exported by the United States are estimated. The results suggest that the US grades and standards assigned to a shipment either do not provide information valued by the market or the existence of US grades and standards has resulted in the definition of a standard of quality that is met by all exporters. Additionally, in Japan there are two identifiable soybean markets - a premium food bean market and a crushing market. The soybeans going into the food market for processing can be identified by their lower oil content, lower percentage of split and damaged beans, and a lower amount of foreign material, as well as smaller shipment sizes.

AB  - Food security is defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. This paper explores the relationships between food security and women's self-evaluated health status. A theoretical model is developed which suggests that our primary interests can be served by estimating health and food security production functions. We find that food security has a significant influence on a woman's self-evaluated health status. However, the exact manifestations are difficult to quantify; they may be psychological or physiological. The most food-insecure women tend to be poor and less educated. Tobacco use, lack of physical exercise and obesity also weigh heavily against good health status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The virtual pricing approach is applied to perform an ex ante analysis of reduced chemical use on agricultural output, input demand and profitability. Aggregate data on Indiana agriculture spanning the 1950-86 period are used to estimate parameters of a normalized quadratic profit function using Bayesian techniques. Empirical results on the response of substitute and complementary inputs to a 15% and a 30% fertilizer restriction are obtained and the ad valorem taxes required to accomplish such restriction are calculated.

AB  - Inaccuracy in the measurement of the price data for the substitute sweeteners for sugar is a problem encountered in the estimation of the demand for sugar. Two diagnostics are introduced to assess the effect that this measurement error has on the estimated coefficients of the sugar-demand relationship. The regression coefficient boundis diagnostic is used to indicate a range in which the true price responsiveness of consumers to changes in the price of sugar substitutes lies. The bias correction factor is computed to evaluate the magnitude of the overestimation of the responsiveness of the quantity of beverage sugar and non-beverage sugar demanded to a change in the price of sugar.

AB  - The issue addressed in this paper is whether the grain quality factors used by the Federal Grain Inspection Service in determining the quality grades of wheat exported by the United States including test weight, dockage, moisture content, percentage of foreign material, percentage of shrunken and broken kernels, and protein content are characteristics that influence the price of wheat for export. Using shiplot data on the transactions price for hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, and soft white wheat and the associated quality characteristics covering the period January 1990 to October 1991 and exported to 63 countries, the results suggest that only the test weight and the protein content are characteristics consistently valued by the market.

AB  - Data envelopment analysis is used to establish comparisons of maximum profit without and with participation in government programmes. A measure of a farm's ability to survive, returns on equity, is used to measure the benefit received from participation in government programmes. Density functions are estimated with kernel density estimation using bootstrap samples, and weighted regressions are used to test the equality of mean benefits between different size groups. The results indicate that almost all farms that could be considered of commercial size receive the same benefit from participation in government programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Error correction models impose few prior restrictions on dynamic model specification and allow the data to determine model structure. Despite this obvious advantage, few applications have adopted the error correction model to explain trade flows. An error correction model of cotton import demand is estimated for France, Japan, and Hong Kong. A variety of tests are applied to determine the dynamic structure of the model. It is found that the most general models are those that best fit the data for cotton import demand. Long-run elasticities from these general models are significantly different than elasticities derived from a comparable static model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Measures of productivity typically assume that all inputs are variable, thus ignoring the quasi-fixed nature of agricultural inputs such as farm machinery, land and structures, and self-employed labour. This paper applies recent developments in productivity growth in the presence of quasi-fixed inputs. We find that adjusting for quasi-fixity reduces observed productivity growth in US agriculture by 19% from 1950 to 1989. <BR> The purpose of this study is to apply these recent developments to agricultural productivity measurement, where some inputs are quasi-fixed while others are variable. Two theoretically sound capacity utilization measures are developed and compared, and their significance for observed productivity growth assessed. Estimated shadow prices of quasi-fixed inputs are then used to derive adjusted productivity measures, which take account of variations in capacity utilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Wine consumption is modelled by focusing on three decisions. The first is whether to consume any alcoholic beverages. Setting aside the teetotalers, the second decision is whether to consume wine and the third choice is how much to consume. We model these decisions using a double-hurdle approach. Our econometric results indicate that the probability a man drinks wine increases if he is under age 65, has a high income and is a high school graduate. Heavy wine consumers are over age 65, are well educated, physically active, and have high incomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study endeavours to understand the nature and extent of the market interrelationships between the price of soybeans, the price of soybean meal and oil and the crushing margin, in order to assess how processors benefit relative to farmers with regard to the Export Enhancement Programme as it applies to soybean oil. The results suggest that while both farmers and processors do benefit from the programme, processors benefit proportionately more than farmers, receiving nearly three times the relative return of farmers from the effects of the programme. This observed outcome is a function of the joint nature of the products being produced (soybean meal and oil) by processors and the relative less importance afforded to soybean oil in the production process. In an absolute sense, however, the returns to soybean farmers are substantially greater than those to processors, being a function of the magnitude of the price of soybeans relative to the crushing margin.

AB  - It is examined whether Wagyu beef produced in Japan and high-quality beef produced in the United States and exported to Japan are components of the same product market. In addressing this issue, an approach is used for defining the nature and extent of a product market relying on the concept of instantaneous causality. The results, for selected cuts of beef, suggest that the markets are in fact separate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The production theory approach for modelling trade in intermediate goods is applied to derive export supply and import demand functions for the Japanese textile industry. The estimated elasticities provide insight into the process of internal adjustment and structural change reflected in the declining international competitiveness of the Japanese textile sector. Estimation issues related to endogeneity tests and the concavity restrictions implied by economic theory are highlighted in the econometric results. Estimated trade balance adjustments are derived from the parameter estimates of the export supply and import demand functions for the Japanese textile sector. <BR> The main objective of this paper is to estimate a model of import demand and export supply functions for the Japanese textile industry. The approach taken in this study of the Japanese textile sector is important for two reasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The relationship between smoking behavior and self-evaluated health status is investigated from several different perspectives. Separate models are developed to study the simultaneous relationships between health status and whether a person currently smokes, has quit, and the number of cigarettes consumed. The models indicate that current smokers have lower odds of being in good health than non-smokers and the odds favoring good health are higher for those who have never smoked than for ex-smokers. No evidence was found that ex-smokers have higher odds of having good health than current smokers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Granger has demonstrated that if two variables are integrated of order one and are cointegrated, they can be modelled as having been generated by an error correction mechanism. Cointegration and error correction systems allow long-run components of variables to obey equilibrium constraints while short-run components are allowed to have flexible dynamic specification. Using data from five Corn Belt States in the US, we show that farmland prices and cash rents are each integrated of order one and are cointegrated. Given that prices and rents are cointegrated, a vector error correction model is estimated. The error correction term is found to be significant in both equations, indicating Granger causality running in both directions. Historical simulation of the model is performed. The price equation performed better although both equations simulate reasonably well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The dynamic response of trade flows to price and effective exchange rate changes is examined via VAR using quarterly data from Ethiopia for the period 1973(i)-1985(iv). The results show one-way Granger-causality running from prices and exchange rates to imports and exports without significant feedback. Imports and exports exhibit similar response patterns to unexpected changes in relative prices and exchange rates. The responses of imports and exports are larger and the adjustment takes longer when relative prices rather than exchange rates caused a change in international prices. In the long-run, changes in prices account for a larger percentage of the forecast error variances in imports and exports than exchange rate changes. It is shown that devaluation may have an initial adverse effect on the trade balance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Kalman filter estimates of price, income and advertising elasticities are presented. An analysis of structural change in the demand for cigarettes in the US for the period 1929-86 is made. Estimated price and income elasticities are generally smaller, and the advertising elasticity larger, than estimates previously found. Cigarette demand is inelastic with respect to price and income, and advertising elasticity is statistically insignificant for the most part. Furthermore, both income and price elasticities decline over time while advertising elasticity tends to rise. Four time periods where structural change has occurred are identified. The health scare reports and the Fairness Doctrine Act have a significant impact on per capita cigarette consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The basic premise of this paper is that a household receives utility directly from the status of a food composite good which is created by combining a household's skill and creativity in preparing foods, other inputs, and the kinds and amounts of foods available. We proceed to investigate the factors influencing the demand for and production of this composite good. The demand for food status is influenced most by the following characteristics: race, education, household size, homeownership, region of household residence and income. Direct price effects were minor. Estimates of a food status production function imply that the production of food status is not much a matter of the quantities of foods consumed but rather the types of food purchased (variety) and the creativity of the homemaker.

AB  - The paper estimates inequality and absolute poverty in Egypt for 1997 with measures that are robust to sample design effects and corrected for spatial variation in price levels. Standard errors for inequality indices are calculated using a bootstrap approach which replicates the sample design. Standard errors for poverty indices are corrected for the design effects resulting from sample stratification and clustering. The authors use data from the Egypt Integrated Household Survey and follow the cost-of-basic-needs methodology to construct region-specific poverty lines. It is found that 15.7 million people were poor in Egypt in 1997, or 26.5% of the population. The estimates indicate a sharp sectoral difference with rural areas being significantly poorer, but significant differences in poverty were not found between Upper and Lower Egypt. This finding differs substantially from the conventional wisdom that Upper Egypt is poorer than Lower Egypt and results from the correction for spatial-price variation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The economic rationale for trade remedy law, while always weak, is undermined by the formation of free trade areas. However, due to political pressure, first CUSFTA and then NAFTA have continued the use of domestic antidumping and countervailing duty laws. With the lowering of border protection, it was feared that there would be an explosion of trade remedy law as NAFTA was implemented. This article examines data on the use of anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations in agriculture, and analyses the incidence between NAFTA partners before and after the implementation of free trade, and compared to the incidence with other countries. Given the cost of current AD and CVD suits, options are explored for alternative methods to resolve AD and CVD suits. Evaluation of options hinges on goals held for dispute resolution within NAFTA. Given continued political opposition to eliminating AD and CVD processes, increasing the options for resolving these suits may reduce their overall costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper examines the EPA's decision to cancel or continue the registrations of cancer-causing pesticides that went through the special review process between 1975 and 1989. Despite claims to the contrary, our analysis indicates that the EPA indeed balanced risks against benefits in regulating pesticides: Risks to human health or the environment increased the likelihood that a particular pesticide use was canceled by the EPA; at the same time, the larger the benefits associated with a particular use, the lower was the likelihood of cancellation. Intervention by special-interest groups was also important in the regulatory process. Comments by grower organizations significantly reduced the probability of cancellation, whereas comments by environmental advocacy groups increased the probability of cancellation. Our analysis suggests that the EPA is fully capable of weighing benefits and costs when regulating environmental hazards; however, the implicit value placed on health risks—$35 million per applicator cancer case avoided—may be considered high by some persons.

AB  - Implementation of a Quality Systems approach to making defensible environmental program decisions depends upon multiple, interrelated components. Often, these components are developed independently and implemented at various facility and program levels in an attempt to achieve consistency and cost savings. The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) focuses on three primary system components to achieve effective environmental data collection and use. (1) Quality System guidance, which establishes the management framework to plan, implement, and assess work performed; (2) A Standardized Statement of Work for analytical services, which defines data generation and reporting requirements consistent with user needs; and (3) A laboratory assessment program to evaluate adherence of work performed to defined needs, e.g., documentation and confidence. This paper describes how DOE-EM fulfills these requirements and realizes cost-savings through participation in interagency working groups and integration of system elements as they evolve.

AB  - What has been ignored in much of the existing studies of oligopoly power is that market behaviour need not be static in nature, and oligopoly power in agriculture need not be present in every month of the year. In a market which is characterized by seasonality and supplied by different sources during different seasons, it is quite possible to observe oligopoly power during different months of the year. In this paper, a method for estimating and testing for seasonal changes in the degree of oligopoly power is introduced. It was found that in the pear market, oligopoly power coefficients remain low throughout the year. On the other hand, the grape market is characterized by higher oligopoly power coefficients and considerable season variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study examines the effects of the changing fiscal role of the federal government with respect to providing financial support for low-income households and the taxation of returns from capital. Specifically, the effects of reducing transfers to low income families by US$10 billion and balancing the ensuing federal budget surplus by increasing the preferential tax treatment of capital gains for individual taxpayers are examined. We examine how this combined budget-neutral fiscal policy change affects agricultural production, economy-wide welfare and the consumption of food. Our results indicate reducing the distortion between the taxation of capital and labour increases economy-wide efficiency leading to increased consumption of food by all income classes. Although economy-wide food expenditures increase, offsetting the revenue shortfall from a reduced capital tax by decreasing transfers to low income families reduces food expenditures for the two lowest income groups by nearly US$1 billion.

AB  - Due to heightened public health interest, a growing number of consumer health behaviour studies are focusing on the effect of health information on the demand for health inputs and outcomes. Many of these studies, however, have overlooked the potential endogeneity of information variables stemming from unobserved individual heterogeneity. Due to simultaneity bias, ignoring endogeneity may lead to inaccurate estimates of informational effects on health behaviour. Using dietary intake data for fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and fibre, this paper illustrates the pitfalls of treating health information related to these nutrients as exogenous variables in their demand equations. In most of the estimated models, the exogeneity of information is statistically rejected. When the information variables are treated as exogenous variables, their effects on dietary intakes are underestimated. The estimated effects of key intake determinants such as income, education, ethnicity, and race are also different in such a specification compared to a specification which treats information variables as endogenous. Implications for nutrition education policies are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers are particularly challenging to uncover because they are scattered among the vast non-coding portion of the genome. Evolutionary sequence constraint can facilitate the discovery of enhancers, but fails to predict when and where they are active in vivo. Here we present the results of chromatin immunoprecipitation with the enhancer-associated protein p300 followed by massively parallel sequencing, and map several thousand in vivo binding sites of p300 in mouse embryonic forebrain, midbrain and limb tissue. We tested 86 of these sequences in a transgenic mouse assay, which in nearly all cases demonstrated reproducible enhancer activity in the tissues that were predicted by p300 binding. Our results indicate that in vivo mapping of p300 binding is a highly accurate means for identifying enhancers and their associated activities, and suggest that such data sets will be useful to study the role of tissue-specific enhancers in human biology and disease on a genome-wide scale.

AB  - Crop management has the potential to either enhance or degrade soil quality, which in turn impacts on crop production and the environment. Few studies have investigated how crop management affects soil quality over different landscape positions. The objective of the present study was to investigate how 12 years of annual cropping system (ACS) and conservation reserve program (CRP) practices impacted soil quality indicators at summit, backslope and footslope landscape positions of a claypan soil in north-central Missouri. Claypan soils are particularly poorly drained because of a restrictive high-clay subsoil layer and are vulnerable to high water erosion. Three replicates of four management systems were established in 1991 in a randomized complete block design, with landscape position as a split-block treatment. The management systems were investigated: (1) annual cropping system 1 (ACS1) was a mulch tillage (typically ≥ 30% of soil covered with residue after tillage operations) corn ( Zea mays L.)–soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) rotation system, (2) annual cropping system 2 (ACS2) was a no-till corn–soybean rotation system, (3) annual cropping system 3 (ACS3) was a no-till corn–soybean–wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) rotation system, with a cover crop following wheat, (4) CRP was a continuous cool-season grass and legume system. In 2002, soil cores (at depths of 0–7.5, 7.5–15 and 15–30 cm) were collected by landscape position and analyzed for physical, chemical and biological soil quality properties. No interactions were observed between landscape and crop management. Relative to management effects, soil organic carbon (SOC) significantly increased with 12 years of CRP management, but not with the other management systems. At the 0–7.5-cm soil depth in the CRP system, SOC increased over this period by 33% and soil total nitrogen storage increased by 34%. Soil aggregate stability was approximately 40% higher in the no-till management systems (ACS2 and ACS3) than in the tilled system (ACS1). Soil aggregation under CRP management was more than double that of the three grain-cropping systems. Soil bulk density at the shallow sampling depth was greater in ACS3 than in ACS1 and ACS2. In contrast to studies on other soil types, these results indicate only minor changes to claypan soil quality after 12 years of no-till management. The landscape had minor effects on the soil properties. Of note, SOC was significantly lower in the 7.5–15-cm soil depth at the footslope compared with the other landscape positions. We attribute this to wetter and more humid conditions at this position and extended periods of high microbial activity and SOC mineralization. We conclude that claypan soils degraded by historical cropping practices will benefit most from the adoption of CRP or CRP-like management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Recent increases in obesity prevalence among children in developed countries are of policy concern. While significant positive associations between households' food insecurity status and body weights have been reported for adults, it is known from the energy physiology literature that energy requirements depend on BMR, anthropometric measures and physical activity. It is therefore important to model the bi-directional relationships between body weights and households' food insecurity scores especially for children that have evolving nutrient and energy requirements. The present paper estimated dynamic random effects models for children's body weights and BMI, and households' food insecurity scores using longitudinal data on 7635 children in the USA enrolled in 1st, 3rd and 5th grades (1999–2003) of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten. The main findings were, first, physical exercise and numbers of siblings were significantly (P < 0·05) negatively associated with body weights, while households' food insecurity score was not a significant predictor. Moreover, children's body weights were significantly lower in households with higher parental education and incomes; time spent watching television and in non-parental care were positively associated with weights. Second, models for households' food insecurity scores showed that poverty and respondents' poor emotional and physical health significantly increased food insecurity. Moreover, households with children who were taller and heavier for their ages faced significantly higher food insecurity levels. Overall, the results showed that household food insecurity was unlikely to exacerbate child obesity in the USA and it is important that children receive balanced school meals and perform higher physical activity.

AB  - Abstract  We evaluated the association of red coloration with senescence in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) leaves by assessing differences in leaf retention strength and the progression of the abscission layer through the vascular bundle of green, yellow, and red leaves of 14 mature open-grown trees in October 2002. Computer image analysis confirmed visual categorization of leaves as predominantly green, yellow or red, and chemical quantification of leaf pigment concentrations verified that leaf color reflected underlying differences in leaf biochemistry. Significantly lower chlorophyll concentrations within red and yellow leaves indicated that senescence was more advanced in leaves from these color categories relative to green leaves. Among leaf types, only red leaves contained high concentrations of anthocyanins. There were significant differences in leaf retention capacity among color categories, with the petioles of green leaves being the most firmly attached to twigs, followed by red and then yellow leaves. Microscopic analysis indicated that yellow leaves had the most advanced extension of the abscission layer through the vasculature, with green and red leaves having significantly less abscission layer progression than yellow. A more limited progression of the abscission layer through vascular bundles may be evidence of delayed leaf senescence that could extend resorption of mobile leaf constituents. Together, results from this study suggest an association between leaf anthocyanin content and functional delays in senescence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study on the fire effects on rangeland hydrology and erosion in a steep sagebrush-dominated landscape. It applies a small-plot rainfall and concentrated flow simulations to unburned and burned hillslopes to establish the spatial and temporal persistence of fire-induced impacts on runoff and erosion by interrill and rill processes on steep sagebrush-dominated sites. It compares the Spatial and temporal variability in post-fire hydrologic and erosion responses with runoff and erosion in unburned conditions. Moreover, the comparison signify that the impacts of fire on runoff and erosion from burned steep sagebrush landscapes differ by microsite and process, and that fire-induced increase in runoff and erosion may need more than years to return conditions to level.

AB  - Recent years have seen a growing interest in the possibility of building new nuclear power plants in Canada and the USA. Electricity generating companies, especially in the south-eastern USA and Ontario, announced plans during 2005 and 2006 which could lay the groundwork for future decisions to construct commercial reactors that could come on line as early as 2015. The possibility of new nuclear power construction is also being examined in Mexico. This growing interest is driven by less expensive technologies, concerns regarding the environmental impacts of generation using fossil fuels and more favourable attitudes toward nuclear power from national and regional governments.

AB  - With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international working bodies. To tackle the issues surrounding the development of better descriptions of genomic investigations, we have formed the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC). Here, we introduce the minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification with the intent of promoting participation in its development and discussing the resources that will be required to develop improved mechanisms of metadata capture and exchange. As part of its wider goals, the GSC also supports improving the 'transparency' of the information contained in existing genomic databases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) provides an assessment of antioxidant activity and synergistic interactions of redox molecules in foods and plasma. Objective: We investigated the validity and reproducibility of food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ)-based TAC estimates assessed by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), total radical-trapping antioxidant parameters (TRAP), and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) food values. Design: Validity and reproducibility were evaluated in 2 random samples from the Swedish Mammography Cohort. Validity was studied by comparing FFQ-based TAC estimates with one measurement of plasma TAC in 108 women (54-73-y-old dietary supplement nonusers). Reproducibility was studied in 300 women (56-75 y old, 50.7% dietary supplement nonusers) who completed 2 FFQs 1 y apart. Results: Fruit and vegetables (mainly apples, pears, oranges, and berries) were the major contributors to FFQ-based ORAC (56.5%), TRAP (41.7%), and FRAP (38.0%) estimates. In the validity study, whole plasma ORAC was correlated (Pearson) with FFQ-based ORAC (r= 0.35), TRAP (r= 0.31), and FRAP (r= 0.28) estimates from fruit and vegetables. Correlations between lipophilic plasma ORAC and FFQ-based ORAC, TRAP, and FRAP estimates from fruit and vegetables were 0.41, 0.31, and 0.28, and correlations with plasma TRAP estimates were 0.31, 0.30, and 0.28, respectively. Hydrophilic plasma ORAC and plasma FRAP values did not correlate with FFQ-based TAC estimates. Reproducibility, assessed by intraclass correlations, was 0.60, 0.61, and 0.61 for FFQ-based ORAC, TRAP, and FRAP estimates, respectively, from fruit and vegetables. Conclusions: FFQ-based TAC values represent valid and reproducible estimates that may be used in nutritional epidemiology to assess antioxidant intake from foods. Further studies in other populations to confirm these results are needed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Lutein and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Lutein is a component of macular pigment. DHA is in the retina. Objective: The objective of this 4-mo study was to determine the effects of lutein (12 mg/d) and DHA (800 mg/d) on their serum concentrations and macular pigment optical density (MPOD). Design: Forty-nine women (60-80 y) were randomly assigned to placebo, DHA, lutein, or lutein + DHA supplement. Serum was analyzed for lutein and DHA (0, 2, and 4 mo). MPOD was determined (0 and 4 mo) at 0.4, 1.5, 3, and 5° temporal retinal eccentricities. Serum was analyzed for lipoproteins (4 mo). Results: There was no interaction between lutein and DHA supplementations for serum lutein and MPOD. The lutein supplementation × DHA supplementation × month interaction was significant for serum DHA response (P < 0.05). In the lutein group, serum lutein increased from baseline at 2 and 4 mo (P < 0.001), and MPOD increased at 3.0° (P < 0.01). In the DHA group, serum DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P<0.0001), and MPOD increased at 0.4° (P < 0.05). In the lutein × DHA group, serum lutein and DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P < 0.01), and MPOD increased at 0.4, 1.5, and 3° (P = 0.06, 0.08, and 0.09, respectively). Differences from placebo in lipoprotein subfractions were greatest for the lutein + DHA group (4 mo). Conclusions: Lutein supplementation increased MPOD eccentrically. DHAresulted in central increases. These results may be due to changes in lipoproteins. Lutein and DHA may aid in prevention of age-related macular degeneration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: An understanding of the relations among dietary zinc intake, bioavailability, and absorption is necessary for making dietary intake recommendations. Objectives: We aimed to assess adaptation in human zinc absorption to controlled differences in zinc and phytate intakes and to apply the results to predictive models. Design: In 3 experiments, radiotracers were used to assess zinc absorption by healthy adults (n=109) from controlled diets, before and after 4 or 8 wk of dietary equilibration. Subjects consumed 4--29 mgZn/d from 1 of 10 diets, 5 with molar ratios of phytate to zinc from 2 to 7 and 5 with ratios from 15 to 23. Results: Absorptive efficiency was inversely related to dietary zinc from both low- and high-phytate diets. In response to low zinc intakes (<11 mg/d) for 4-8 wk, zinc absorption was up-regulated to as high as 92%, but only if the diets were low in phytate. The results help validate and refine a published saturable transport model that predicts zinc absorption from dietary zinc and phytate. Possible biomarkers of impaired zinc status, including erythrocyte osmotic fragility, in vitro erythrocyte 65Zn uptake, and leukocyte expression of the zinc transport proteins Zip1 and ZnT1, were unresponsive to dietary zinc content. Conclusions: Humans absorbed zinc more efficiently from lowzinc diets and adapted to further increase zinc absorption after consuming low-zinc, low-phytate diets for several weeks. Such adaptation did not occur with higher phytate diets. Zinc absorption can be predicted from dietary zinc and phytate after allowing for dietary equilibration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - AbstractÂ Â Stem dissection and dendroecological methods were used to examine the effects of thinning and defoliation by gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) on wood volume increment in oaks (Quercus rubra L., Q. alba L., Q. prinus L.). A model was developed to evaluate radial volume increment growth at three time periods: before defoliation, during defoliation and after defoliation, as a function of species, defoliation intensity and crown position. Volume increment during these same time periods was also compared at different stem locations. Trees were defoliated for two consecutive years and results indicated that volume loss was greater during the second year of defoliation with complete recovery taking 2â3Â years after defoliation. Oaks in thinned stands had similar reductions in annual volume increment during defoliation as those in the unthinned stand. Annual volume increment demonstrated a decreasing trend from stump to base of the live crown and volume increment of the lowest log (from stump height to 1.37Â m), was always higher than upper log sections, even during defoliation. Both earlywood and latewood increments were reduced during defoliation; however, latewood reductions were distributed along entire stems while earlywood reductions were greater on upper stem sections within the crown.

AB  - The objective of the study was to determine whether Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 (PAI-1) -675 4G/5G polymorphism is associated with the response of functional plasma PAI-1 concentrations to changes in the amount and quality of dietary fat in healthy subjects. PAI-1 is the major inhibitor of fibrinolysis, and a lower level of fibrinolytic activity could be implicated in an increased risk of IHD. Fifty-nine healthy Spanish volunteers (ten 4G/4G homozygotes, twenty-eight heterozygotes 4G/5G and twenty-one 5G/5G homozygotes) consumed three diets for periods of 4 weeks each: a SFA-rich diet (38??% fat, 20??% SFA), followed by a carbohydrate-rich diet (30??% fat, 55??% carbohydrate) and a MUFA-rich diet (38??% fat, 22??% MUFA) according to a randomized crossover design. At the end of each dietary period plasma lipid and functional plasma PAI-1 concentrations were determined. Subjects carrying the 4G allele (4G/4G and 4G/5G) showed a significant decrease in PAI-1 concentrations after the MUFA diet, compared with the SFA-rich and carbohydrate-rich diets (genotype ???? diet interaction: P??=??0??028). 5G/5G homozygotes had the lowest plasma PAI-1 concentrations compared with 4G/4G and 4G/5G subjects (genotype: P??=??0??002), without any changes as a result of the amount and the quality of the dietary fat. In summary, no differences in plasma PAI-1 concentration response were found after changes in dietary fat intake in 5G/5G homozygotes, although these subjects displayed the lowest concentrations of PAI-1. On the other hand, carriers of the 4G allele are more likely to hyper-respond to the presence of MUFA in the diet because of a greater decrease in PAI-1 concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Building performance simulation tools have significantly improved in quality and depth of analysis capability over the past 35 years. Yet, despite these increased capabilities, simulation programs still depend on user entry for significant data about building components, loads, and other typically scheduled inputs. This often forces users to estimate values or find previously compiled sets of data for these inputs. Often there is little information about how the data were derived, what purposes it is fit for, which standards apply, uncertainty associated with each data field as well as a general description of the data. A similar problem bedeviled access to weather data and Crawley et al. [1999. Improving the weather information available to simulation programs, In: Proceedings of building simulation ‘99, vol. 2,Kyoto, Japan, 13–15 September 1999. IBPSA, p. 529–36.] described a generalized weather data format developed for use with two energy simulation programs, which has subsequently led to a repository which is accessed by thousands of practitioners each year. This paper describes a generalized format and data documentation for such user inputs—whether it is building envelope components, scheduled loads, or environmental emissions—the widgets upon which all models are dependant. We present several examples including building envelope component, a scheduled occupant load, and environmental emissions and speculate on how such data might be incorporated in existing data schemes and simulation tools.

T1  - Evaluating the effectiveness of contour-felled log erosion barriers as a post-fire runoff and erosion mitigation treatment in the western United States.

AB  - Between 1998 and 2002, six sites were established immediately after large wildfires in the western United States to determine the effectiveness of contour-felled log erosion barriers in mitigating post-wildfire runoff and erosion. In each pair of matched, burned, and small watersheds (1-13 ha), one was treated with contour-felled log erosion barriers and one was left untreated as a control. For 4 to 6 post-fire years, runoff and sediment yields were measured and correlated with rain properties. High-intensity rainfall produced most of the measured runoff and sediment yields except in the southern California site, where long-duration rain events produced most of the runoff and erosion. For small rain events (less than the 2-year return period for the I 0-mm duration), the runoff, peak flows, and sediment yields were lower in the treated watersheds than in the control watersheds, but there was no treatment effect for rain events with larger return periods. Improper installation and degradation over time reduced the effectiveness of contour-felled log erosion barriers. Rainfall characteristics and installation procedures should be carefully considered before choosing contour-felled log erosion barriers for post-fire hillslope stabilisation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article focuses on the effects of low glyphosate doses on growth of a range of plant species. The study observed the Commelina benghalensis L., Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden, Pinus caribea L., maize and soybean which demonstrated hormesis at low doses. The study concludes that subtoxic doses of glyphosate stimulate the growth of a range of plant species as measured in several plant organs. The hormesis effect observed in plants is inferred to be likely related to the molecular target of glyphosate. In addition, the shikimate levels were enhanced in plants with stimulated growth.

AB  - Abstract: The benefit of windbreaks and copper sprays for control of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri was investigated in a commercial citrus orchard located in a citrus canker endemic area in southern Brazil. Control of canker was evaluated as incidence and severity of lesions on foliage and by the effect on premature leaf and fruit drop for three production seasons. Effect of the treatments on fruit production was evaluated as incidence of citrus canker on prematurely abscised fruits and harvested fruits. Copper application significantly reduced damage to foliage and fruit, while windbreaks made little contribution to disease control. Copper sprays increased fruit yield for 3 years. This could be attributed to lower incidence of fruit with lesions and fewer fruits abscised due to canker infection. Incidence and severity on the leaves were inversely related to the number of fruits harvested per tree and directly related to the number of fruits abscised per tree. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article presents an evaluation of the dataset on cyclophosphamide and its mode of action. It is mentioned that an analysis of the total weight of evidence supports the determination that cyclophosphamide acts through a mutagenic mode of action. It is also pointed out that no substantive data were found to illustrate that a substitute mode of action other than mutagenicity is active. The use of the U.S. EPA Cancer Risk Assessment Guidelines is also said to be recommended for the dose-response assessment.

AB  - The temporal and spatial structure of 332 404 daily fire-start records from the western United States for he period 1986 though 1996 is illustrated using several complimentary visualisation techniques. We supplement maps and time series plots with Hovmöller diagrams that reduce the spatial dimensionality of the daily data in order to reveal he underlying space-time structure. The mapped distributions of all lightning- and human-started fires during the 11- rear interval show similar first-order patterns that reflect the broad-scale distribution of vegetation across the West and he annual cycle of climate. Lightning-started fires are concentrated in the summer half-year and occur in widespread outbreaks that last a few days and reflect coherent weather related controls. In contrast, fires started by humans occur throughout the year and tend to be concentrated in regions surrounding large-population centres or intensive-agricultural seas. Although the primary controls of human-started fires are their location relative to burnable fuel and the level of human activity, spatially coherent, weather-related variations in their incidence can also be noted.

AB  - Domestic livestock have the potential to function as ecosystem engineers in semiarid rangelands, but prevailing management practices largely emphasize livestock production and uniform use of vegetation. As a result, variation in vegetation structure might not occur at appropriate spatial and temporal scales to achieve some contemporary conservation objectives. Here, we introduce the utility of livestock as ecosystem engineers and address potential benefits and consequences associated with heterogeneity-based management practices for conservation grazing in the semiarid rangelands of the western North American Great Plains. To illustrate the potential value of this approach, we provide specific examples where engineering effects of livestock could alter vegetation heterogeneity at within-pasture (<100 ha) and among-pasture (~100 ha to thousands of hectares) scales to improve habitat for declining native grassland birds. Experimental evaluations of the efficacy of livestock to achieve desired modifications to vegetation structure are needed, along with the economic aspects associated with implementing heterogeneity-based management practices. Using livestock as ecosystem engineers to alter vegetation structure for grassland bird habitat is feasible in terms of application by land managers within the context of current livestock operations, and provides land managers important tools to achieve desired contemporary objectives and outcomes in semiarid rangelands of the western North American Great Plains.

AB  - El ganado domestico tiene el potencial de funcionar como ingeniero de los ecosistemas en los pastizales semiáridos, pero las practicas de manejo que existen principalmente se enfocan en la producción ganadera y el uso uniforme de la vegetación. Como resultado, la variación en la estructura de la vegetación puede no darse apropiadamente a escalas espaciales y temporales para llevar a cabo objetivos de conservación contemporáneos. Aquí, presentamos la utilidad del ganado como ingeniero de ecosistemas y en los beneficios y las consecuencias de la heterogeneidad basada en las prácticas de manejo para la conservación del pastoreo en los pastizales de las zonas semiáridas en el Oeste de las grandes planicies de Norte América. Para ilustrar el valor potencial de este método, proporcionamos ejemplos específicos donde los efectos de ingeniería del ganado domestico pueden alterar la heterogeneidad de la vegetación a escalas dentro (< 100 ha) y entre los potreros (~100-1 000 s ha) para mejorar el hábitat de pastizales nativos que están disminuyendo para las aves. Evaluaciones experimentales de la eficiencia del ganado en la estructura de la vegetación son necesarias, de la misma manera los aspectos económicos asociados con la implementación de la practicas de manejo usadas para la heterogeneidad. El utilizar ganado como ingeniero de los ecosistemas para alterar la estructura de la vegetación para las aves del pastizal es posible en términos de aplicación por los manejadores de las tierras dentro del contexto de las actuales operaciones de ganado, permitiendo darles a los manejadores las herramientas para llevar a cabo los objetivos contemporáneos y resultados en los pastizales semiáridos de las grandes planicies de América del norte.

AB  - Fruits of 63 accessions of Capsicum chinense Jacq. from the USDA/ARS Capsicum germplasm collection were analyzed for two major capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, using gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC/NPD). The objectives of the present investigation were: (i) to quantify the major capsaicinoids (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) in fruits of Capsicum chinense accessions and (ii) to identify accessions containing great concentrations of capsaicinoids among countries of hot pepper origin. Seeds of C. chinense accessions received from Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and United States were field grown in a silty-loam soil. Mature fruits were analyzed for major capsaicinoids content. Capsaicin concentrations were generally greater than dihydrocapsaicin. Fruits of C. chinense accession PI640900 (USA) contained the greatest concentration of capsaicin (1.52 mg g- 1 fruit) and dihydrocapsaicin (1.16 mg g- 1 fruit), while total major capsaicinoids in the fruits of PI438648 (Mexico) averaged 2 mg g- 1 fruit. These two accessions were identified as potential candidates for mass production of major capsaicinoids that have health-promoting properties and for use as a source of pest control agents in agricultural fields.

AB  - Over the past century, fire has been widely suppressed in the western Great Plains, in part because of the potential negative effects on forage production for livestock. More recently, interest in the use of prescribed fire in shortgrass steppe has increased because of the potential applications for wildlife management, control of unpalatable plant species, and restoration of historic disturbance regimes. We studied the effects of prescribed burns conducted during late winter on herbaceous production, forage nitrogen content, and plant species composition of shortgrass steppe on the Pawnee National Grassland in northeastern Colorado. Late-winter burns conducted in moderately grazed sites under a wide range of precipitation conditions during 1997-2001 did not negatively affect herbaceous production in either the first or the second postburn growing season. Burning followed by a severe drought in 2002 reduced production by 19% in the second postburn growing season of 2003. Burns temporarily suppressed the abundance of broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae) and prickly pear cactus (Opuntia polyacantha) and enhanced forage nitrogen content during May and June of the first postburn growing season. These findings suggest that, except following severe drought, prescribed burns conducted during late winter in grazed shortgrass steppe for objectives unrelated to livestock production can also have neutral or positive consequences for livestock.

AB  - Durante el último siglo, el fuego ha sido ampliamente excluido en las grandes planicies del oeste de los Estados Unidos, en parte debido a los efectos negativos potenciales en la producción de forraje para el ganado. Más recientemente, el interés en el uso de las quemas prescritas en los pastizales cortos ha aumentado por razón del uso potencial para el manejo de la fauna silvestre, control de las plantas no deseables y la recuperación de los regímenes históricos de disturbios. Se estudió el efecto de las quemas prescritas hechas al final del invierno en la producción de herbáceas, contenido de nitrógeno del forraje y la composición de especies en un pastizal corto en el Noreste del estado de Colorado, en los pastizales nacionales de Pawnee. Las quemas efectuadas al final del invierno en sitios moderadamente pastoreados, bajo un amplio rango de condiciones de precipitación durante 1997-2001 no afectaron negativamente la producción de forraje tanto en la primera como en la segunda época de crecimiento después de la quema. La quema seguida de una sequia severa durante 2002 redujo la producción alrededor de 19% en la segunda época de crecimiento después de la quema durante 2003. Las quemas controlaron temporalmente la abundancia de la escobilla (Gutierrezia sarothrae) y el nopal (Opuntia polyacantba), e incrementaron el contenido de nitrógeno del forraje durante los meses de mayo y junio después de la quema durante la primera época de crecimiento. Estos resultados sugieren que con la excepción de una sequía severa después de la quema, que las quemas prescritas que se hacen al final del invierno en pastizales cortos, con objetivos no relacionados con la producción ganadera, pueden también traer consecuencias neutrales o positivas para el ganado.

AB  - Interpretation of assessment and monitoring data requires information about how reference conditions and ecological resilience vary in space and time. Reference conditions used as benchmarks are often specified via potential-based land classifications (e.g., ecological sites) that describe the plant communities potentially observed in an area based on soil and climate. State-and-transition models (STMs) coupled to ecological sites specify indicators of ecological resilience and thresholds. Although general concepts surrounding STMs and ecological sites have received increasing attention, strategies to apply and quantify these concepts have not. In this paper, we outline concepts and a practical approach to potential-based land classification and STM development. Quantification emphasizes inventory techniques readily available to natural resource professionals that reveal processes interacting across spatial scales. We recommend a sequence of eight steps for the co-development of ecological sites and STMs, including 1) creation of initial concepts based on literature and workshops; 2) extensive, low-intensity traverses to refine initial concepts and to plan inventory; 3) development of a spatial hierarchy for sampling based on climate, geomorphology, and soils; 4) stratified medium-intensity inventory of plant communities and soils across a broad extent and with large sample sizes; 5) storage of plant and soil data in a single database; 6) model-building and analysis of inventory data to test initial concepts; 7) support and/ or refinement of concepts; and 8) high-intensity characterization and monitoring of states. We offer a simple example of how data assembled via our sequence are used to refine ecological site classes and STMs. The linkage of inventory to expert knowledge and site-based mechanistic experiments and monitoring provides a powerful means for specifying management hypotheses and, ultimately, promoting resilience in grassland, shrubland, savanna, and forest ecosystems.

AB  - La interpretación de la evaluación y el monitoreo de datos, exigen que haya información de cómo las condiciones de referencia y resistencia ecológica varían en espacio y tiempo. Las condiciones de referencia que se usan como puntos de comparación se describen a menudo mediante las clasificaciones de terrenos basándose en su potencial (por ejemplo, sitio ecológico) de comunidades de plantas presentes en un área, en base a suelo y clima. Los Modelos de Estado y Transición (METs) relacionados a sitios ecológicos, son indicadores específicos de los límites de resistencia ecológica. Aunque se ha dado mucha atención a los conceptos generales que rodean los METs y los sitios ecológicos, no ha sido así con las estrategias para aplicar y calificar esos conceptos. En este trabajo, damos una idea general de los conceptos y un enfoque práctico para la clasificación de terrenos en base a su potencial, así como para el desarrollo de METs. La calificación enfatiza técnicas de inventario fácilmente accesibles a los profesionales en recursos naturales presentando un proceso de interacción a través de escalas espaciales. Nosotros recomendamos una secuencia de ocho pasos para el desarrollo de sitios ecológicos y METs, como son: 1) creación de conceptos iniciales basados en literatura y talleres; 2) extensivos viajes de reconocimiento para el refinamiento de los conceptos iniciales y planear el inventario; 3) desarrollo de una escala espacial para muestreo, basándose en clima, forma del terreno, y suelos; 4) estratificación de inventario de media intensidad de las comunidades de plantas y suelos a través de una gran cantidad de muestras de tamaño grande; 5) almacenamiento de datos de plantas y suelos en una sola base de datos; 6) construcción del modelo y análisis de los datos inventariados para evaluar los conceptos iníciales; 7) apoyo y/o refinamiento de conceptos; y 8) intensa caracterización y monitoreo de las situaciones. Ofrecemos, además, un ejemplo sencillo de cómo colectar los datos, mediante el uso de nuestra secuencia para refinar la clase de sitio ecológico y los METs. El enlace del inventario con el conocimiento experto y la mecánica de experimentos y monitoreo basados en el potencial de sitio, proporciona un medio efectivo para especificar hipótesis de manejo y finalmente para promover la recuperación de pastizales, matorrales, sabanas, y ecosistemas forestales.

AB  - Sport-fish introductions are now recognized as an important cause of amphibian decline, but few researchers have quantified the demographic responses of amphibians to current options in fisheries management designed to minimize effects on sensitive amphibians. Demographic analyses with mark–recapture data allow researchers to assess the relative importance of survival, local recruitment, and migration to changes in population densities. I conducted a 4-year, replicated whole-lake experiment in the Klamath Mountains of northern California (U.S.A.) to quantify changes in population density, survival, population growth rate, and recruitment of the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae ) in response to manipulations of non-native fish populations. I compared responses of the frogs in lakes where fish were removed, in lakes in their naturally fish-free state, and in lakes where fish remained that were either stocked annually or no longer being stocked. Within 3 years of fish removals from 3 lakes, frog densities increased by a factor of 13.6. The survival of young adult frogs increased from 59% to 94%, and realized population growth and recruitment rates at the fish-removal lakes were more than twice as high as the rates for fish-free reference lakes and lakes that contained fish. Population growth in the fish-removal lakes was likely due to better on-site recruitment of frogs to later life stages rather than increased immigration. The effects on R. cascadae of suspending stocking were ambiguous and suggested no direct benefit to amphibians. With amphibians declining worldwide, these results show that active restoration can slow or reverse the decline of species affected by fish stocking within a short time frame.

AB  - Resumen: Las introducciones de peces para la pesca deportiva ya son reconocidas como una causa importante de la declinación de anfibios, pero pocos investigadores han cuantificado las respuestas demográficas de anfibios a las opciones actuales de manejo de pesquerías diseñadas para minimizar efectos sobre anfibios sensibles. Los análisis demográficos con datos de marcaje–recaptura permiten que investigadores evalúen la importancia relativa de la supervivencia, el reclutamiento local y la migración a cambios en las densidades poblacionales. Realicé un experimento de cuatro años, replicado en las Montañas Klamath en el norte de California (E. U. A.) para cuantificar los cambios en la densidad poblacional, supervivencia, tasa de crecimiento poblacional y reclutamiento de ranas (Rana cascadae ) en respuesta a manipulaciones de poblaciones de peces no nativas. Comparé las respuestas de las ranas en lagos en los que los peces fueron removidos, en lagos en su estado natural libre de peces y en lagos donde permanecían peces que eran abastecidos anualmente o que ya no eran abastecidos. A tres años de la remoción de peces de 3 lagos, las densidades de ranas incrementaron en un factor de 13.6. La supervivencia de ranas adultas jóvenes incremento de 59% a 94%, y el crecimiento poblacional realizado y las tasas de reclutamiento en los lagos sin peces fue más del doble que las tasas en los lagos de referencia libres de peces y los que contenían peces. El crecimiento poblacional en los lagos donde fueron removidos los peces probablemente se debió a un mejor reclutamiento de ranas en estadios tardíos y no a un incremento de la inmigración. Los efectos de la suspensión del abastecimiento de peces sobre R. cascadae fueron ambiguos y no sugirieron un beneficio directo para los anfibios. Con la declinación mundial de anfibios, estos resultados muestran que la restauración activa puede desacelerar o revertir la declinación de especies afectadas por el abastecimiento de peces en un período de tiempo corto.

AB  - 1.  Understanding why invading populations sometimes fail to establish is of considerable relevance to the development of strategies for managing biological invasions. 2.  Newly arriving populations tend to be sparse and are often influenced by Allee effects. Mating failure is a typical cause of Allee effects in low-density insect populations, and dispersion of individuals in space and time can exacerbate mate-location failure in invading populations. 3.  Here we evaluate the relative importance of dispersal and sexual asynchrony as contributors to Allee effects in invading populations by adopting as a case study the gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar L.), an important insect defoliator for which considerable demographic information is available. 4.  We used release–recapture experiments to parameterize a model that describes probabilities that males locate females along various spatial and temporal offsets between male and female adult emergence. 5.  Based on these experimental results, we developed a generalized model of mating success that demonstrates the existence of an Allee threshold, below which introduced gypsy moth populations are likely to go extinct without any management intervention.

AB  - 1.  Considerable effort is expended by national and local governments to exclude alien species via detection and eradication of invading populations, but these efforts are not necessarily designed in the most economically or biologically efficient manner. 2.  Using the invasion of the European strain of the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar into the USA as a case study, we develop an analytical model to determine the optimal trap density for detecting isolated infestations. Most models focus on monitoring or eradication costs only; our model considers the costs of both detection and eradication when determining the best monitoring strategy. 3.  The model assumes that all isolated populations must be located and eradicated by the conclusion of a programme. For programmes lasting longer than 1 year, it is more worthwhile to proactively monitor and manage rather than to wait until the programme is over. 4.  For a management programme of a given length, optimal trap density is most influenced by the growth rate of the infestation. Optimal trap densities are lowest for infestations with very low growth rates (because they remain small and therefore are less expensive to eradicate) or very high growth rates (because they are easier to detect), and highest for infestations with moderate growth rates (because they are neither inexpensive to eradicate nor easy to detect). 5.  Our model is useful in setting a baseline level of monitoring for isolated incidents of gypsy moth invasion. Analysis of data in two US states show that actual trap densities are far higher than the optimal densities from the model. The difference suggests risk aversion may play a role in real systems. 6.  Synthesis and applications. Our model suggests that we can improve the efficiency of detection and eradication programmes for isolated infestations by optimizing detection effort relative to infestation growth rates and management programme duration. It also clearly demonstrates the importance of balancing the costs and benefits of both detection and eradication when developing invasive species monitoring programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This analysis quantifies projected carbon (C) storage in harvested wood products (HWP) from Ontario’s Crown forests. The large-scale forest C budget model, FORCARB-ON, was applied to estimate HWP C stock changes using the production approach defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Harvested wood volume was converted to C mass and allocated to four HWP end-use categories: in use, landfill, energy, and emission. The redistribution of C over time among HWP end-use categories was calculated using a product age-based C-distribution matrix. Carbon emissions for harvest, transport, and manufacturing, as well as emission reductions from the use of wood in place of other construction materials and fossil fuels were not accounted for. Considering the wood harvested from Ontario Crown forests from 1951 to 2000 and the projected harvest from 2001 to 2100, C storage in HWP in use and in landfills is projected to increase by 3.6 Mt·year–1 during 2001–2100, with an additional 1.2 Mt·year–1 burned for energy. Annual additions of C projected for HWP far outweighs the annual increase of C storage in Ontario’s Crown forests managed for harvest, which is projected to increase by 0.1 Mt·year–1 during the same period. These projections indicate that regulated harvest in Ontario results in a steadily increasing C sink in HWP and forests. Uncertainties in HWP C estimation are also discussed. Cette analyse quantifie la séquestration prévue du carbone (C) dans les produits du bois provenant des forêts publiques de l’Ontario. Le modèle de bilan à grande échelle de C de la forêt, FORCARB-ON, a été utilisé pour estimer les changements dans les stocks de carbone associés aux produits du bois à l’aide de l’approche de production définie par le « Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ». Le bois récolté a été converti en masse de C et alloué à quatre catégories d’utilisation ultime des produits du bois : en usage, enfouissement, énergie et émission. La redistribution de C dans le temps parmi les catégories d’utilisation ultime des produits du bois a été calculée à l’aide d’une matrice de distribution de C basée sur l’âge des produits. Les émissions de C engendrées par la récolte, le transport et la transformation ainsi que la réduction des émissions due à l’utilisation du bois à la place d’autres matériaux de construction et des combustibles fossiles n’ont pas été comptabilisées. En tenant compte du bois récolté sur les terres publiques de l’Ontario de 1951 à 2000 et de la récolte prévue de 2001 à 2100, la séquestration de C dans les produits du bois en usage et dans les enfouissements devrait augmenter de 3,6 Mt·an–1 de 2001 à 2100 et l’utilisation du bois à des fins énergétiques devrait générer 1,2 Mt·an–1 de plus. Les prévisions d’ajout annuel de C dans les produits du bois dépassent largement l’augmentation annuelle de la séquestration de C dans les forêts publiques aménagées de l’Ontario qui devrait atteindre 0,1 Mt·an–1 pendant la même période. Ces projections indiquent que la récolte réglementée en Ontario se traduit par un puits de C qui augmente régulièrement dans les produits du bois et les forêts. Les incertitudes associées à l’estimation de C dans les produits du bois sont également abordées dans la discussion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The annual carbon (C) budget of grasslands is highly dynamic, dependent on grazing history and on effects of interannual variability (IAV) in climate on carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes. Variability in climatic drivers may directly affect fluxes, but also may indirectly affect fluxes by altering the response of the biota to the environment, an effect termed ‘functional change’. We measured net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) and its diurnal components, daytime ecosystem CO2 exchange ( PD) and night-time respiration ( RE), on grazed and ungrazed mixed-grass prairie in North Dakota, USA, for five growing seasons. Our primary objective was to determine how climatic anomalies influence variability in CO2 exchange. We used regression analysis to distinguish direct effects of IAV in climate on fluxes from functional change. Functional change was quantified as the improvement in regression on fitting a model in which slopes of flux–climate relationships vary among years rather than remain invariant. Functional change and direct effects of climatic variation together explained about 20% of variance in weekly means of NEE, PD, and RE. Functional change accounted for more than twice the variance in fluxes of direct effects of climatic variability. Grazing did not consistently influence the contribution of functional change to flux variability, but altered which environmental variable best explained year-to-year differences in flux–climate slopes, reduced IAV in seasonal means of fluxes, lessened the strength of flux–climate correlations, and increased NEE by reducing RE relatively more than PD. Most of these trends are consistent with the interpretation that grazing reduced the influence of plants on ecosystem fluxes. Because relationships between weekly values of fluxes and climatic regulators changed annually, year-to-year differences in the C balance of these ecosystems cannot be predicted from knowledge of IAV in climate alone.

AB  - Short-term physiological responses of planting frozen (FR) and rapidly thawed (TR) root plugs of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were examined through time series (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days) measurements in two separate experiments: 10 °C day : 6 °C night, RH 75% and 30 °C day : 20 °C night, RH 50%, respectively. Net photosynthesis, transpiration, shoot water potential, and root hydraulic conductance were lower in FR compared with TR seedlings under both growing conditions. Magnitude of difference in root hydraulic conductance was higher under warm-dry conditions. Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) values were higher for TR than FR seedlings at 0 h, but similar thereafter for both growing conditions. Needle electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll content did not differ between FR and TR seedlings under both environmental regimes. Higher root O2 uptake was observed in FR seedlings in warm-dry conditions and in TR seedlings under cool-moist conditions. TR seedlings planted under warm-dry conditions had more flushed buds and new roots than FR seedlings, while no buds flushed for both FR and TR seedlings under cool-moist conditions. Comparatively higher photosynthesic rates in TR seedlings planted under warm-dry conditions likely contributed toward more new roots, which could be advantageous for survival and early growth.

AB  - Les réactions physiologiques de deux traitements de motte radiculaire (gelée (FR) ou décongelée (TR)) sur les semis de douglas vert (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) ont été étudiées en fonction du temps (0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 jour, 3 jours et 7 jours) et de deux conditions de croissances : froides et humides (10 °C jour : 6 °C nuit, taux d’humidité relative de 75 %) ou chaudes et sèches (30 °C jour : 20 °C nuit, taux d’humidité relative de 50 %). Les auteurs ont observé un taux de photosynthèse nette, un taux de transpiration, un potentiel hydrique des pousses et une conductance hydraulique des racines plus faibles avec les semis FR par rapport aux semis TR et ce pour les deux conditions de croissance. La différence de conductance hydraulique des racines était plus marquée dans les conditions de croissance chaudes et sèches. Les mesures de fluorescence de la chlorophylle (Fv/Fm) étaient plus élevées pour les semis TR par rapport aux semis FR à 0 h, ensuite les valeurs étaient similaires pour les deux conditions de croissance. La libération d’électrolytes des aiguilles et le contenu en chlorophylle n’ont pas été affectés par les traitements et les conditions de croissance. Le taux d’accumulation d’oxygène des racines était plus élevé pour les semis FR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches ainsi que pour les semis TR dans les conditions froides et humides. Les semis TR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches ont développé plus de bourgeons et de nouvelles racines par rapport aux semis FR. Dans les conditions de croissance froides et humides, aucun bourgeon ne s’est développé pour les deux traitements de mottes radiculaires. Le taux relatif plus élevé de photosynthèse des semis TR dans les conditions chaudes et sèches a possiblement contribué au développement de nouvelles racines, ce qui pourrait être avantageux pour la survie et la croissance à court terme des semis de douglas vert.

AB  - It has been hypothesized that yellow-cedar [ Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach] decline may result from root freezing injury following climate change-induced reductions in protective snow cover. To test this hypothesis, we measured the freezing tolerance and injury expression of yellow-cedar seedlings in three treatments that differed in the insulative protection they provided to soils during winter and spring: (1) full exposure to ambient temperatures (exposed treatment), (2) continuous protection from ambient temperatures via addition of perlite over pots (full protection), and (3) perlite protection only during winter and exposure to ambient temperatures during spring (partial protection). Foliage from all treatments was cold tolerant enough to prevent foliar freezing injury throughout the study period. However, on all sample dates, roots of seedlings from all treatments were only tolerant to about −5 °C – a level considerably warmer than the reported maximum cold tolerance for the species and well above the soil temperature recorded in the exposed treatment. As a result of this limited root cold tolerance, visibly uninjured roots of seedlings from the exposed treatment had significantly higher relative electrolyte leakage (REL) throughout the winter and early spring than seedlings in soil protection treatments. Seedlings from the exposed treatment also had significantly higher foliar REL values and greater visual foliar injury than seedlings from the other treatments starting in early spring. For both roots and foliage, REL measurements consistently detected tissue damage before visual injury was evident. Patterns of injury from both REL and visual injury assessments showed the same pattern: damage began with freezing injury to roots and subsequently became evident as foliar browning after spring temperatures increased. All seedlings in the exposed treatment eventually had 100% fine root damage and died. This progression of initial root damage followed by foliar browning and mortality after the onset of warming conditions is consistent with reports of yellow-cedar decline symptom development in the field.

AB  - Anecdotal occurrence data (unverifiable observations of organisms or their sign) and inconclusive physical data are often used to assess the current and historical ranges of rare or elusive species. However, the use of such data for species conservation can lead to large errors of omission and commission, which can influence the allocation of limited funds and the efficacy of subsequent conservation efforts. We present three examples of biological misunderstandings, all of them with significant conservation implications, that resulted from the acceptance of anecdotal observations as empirical evidence. To avoid such errors, we recommend that a priori standards constrain the acceptance of occurrence data, with more stringent standards applied to the data for rare species. Because data standards are likely to be taxon specific, professional societies should develop specific evidentiary standards to use when assessing occurrence data for their taxa of interest.

AB  - Biome-scale disturbances by eruptive herbivores provide valuable insights into species interactions, ecosystem function, and impacts of global change. We present a conceptual framework using one system as a model, emphasizing interactions across levels of biological hierarchy and spatiotemporal scales. Bark beetles are major natural disturbance agents in western North American forests. However, recent bark beetle population eruptions have exceeded the frequencies, impacts, and ranges documented during the previous 125 years. Extensive host abundance and susceptibility, concentrated beetle density, favorable weather, optimal symbiotic associations, and escape from natural enemies must occur jointly for beetles to surpass a series of thresholds and exert widespread disturbance. Opposing feedbacks determine qualitatively distinct outcomes at junctures at the biochemical through landscape levels. Eruptions occur when key thresholds are surpassed, prior constraints cease to exert influence, and positive feedbacks amplify across scales. These dynamics are bidirectional, as landscape features influence how lower-scale processes are amplified or buffered. Climate change and reduced habitat heterogeneity increase the likelihood that key thresholds will be exceeded, and may cause fundamental regime shifts. Systems in which endogenous feedbacks can dominate after external forces foster the initial breach of thresholds appear particularly sensitive to anthropogenic perturbations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One effect of increasing temperatures is on insect voltinism, with the logical assumption that increases in surface temperatures would permit multivoltine species to increase the number of generations per year. Though insect development is primarily driven by temperature, most multivoltine insect species rely on photoperiodic cues, which do not change from year-to-year or in response to climate warming, to initiate diapause. Thus, the relationship between climate change and voltinism could be complex. We use a phenology model for grape berry moth, Paralobesia viteana (Clemens), which incorporates temperature-dependent development and diapause termination, and photoperiod-dependent diapause induction, to explore historical patterns in year-to-year voltinism fluctuations. We then extend this model to predict voltinism under varying scenarios of climate change to show the importance of both the quality and quantity of accumulated heat units. We also illustrate that increases in mean surface temperatures > 2 °C can have dramatic effects on insect voltinism by causing a shift in the ovipositional period that currently is subject to diapause-inducing photoperiods.

AB  - The article offers information on a randomized trial conducted to asses the impact of dietary vitamin D intakes and plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D in healthy infants. It informs that the clinical trial involved 132 healthy and one-month-old breastfed infants. The study concluded that a daily intake of vitamin D in infants leads to adequate plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration for identified physiological functioning related to bone health. It suggests that higher vitamin D intake and a target plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration should be tested in clinical trials with clearly defined health outcomes and close safety monitoring.

AB  - The evidence indicates that the rate of return to dentistry relative to alternatives influences the decision of eligible students to apply to dental schools; the greater the rate relative to alternatives, the larger the portion of the pool of eligibles who apply to dental school. This finding is consistent with the implications of the theory of occupational choice. The impact of full-cost tuition charges on the rate of return to dentistry would have left the profession less attractive compared to the existing situation. The results of the investigation indicate the impact would have been substantial, but that a sizable number of students would continue to regard dentistry as a profitable human capital investment. In fact, the number of applicants under a full-cost tuition system in some years would have been nearly twice what enrollments actually were, suggesting that the constraint on enrollments has been the number of dental school places and not an absence of students wanting to become dentists.

AB  - This study has been concerned with estimating equivalence scales and studying their effect on the size distribution of income. Two types of scales were estimated, the Rothbarth and subjective, both with entirely different theoretical and methodical underpinnings, yet estimated equivalence scales were similar. My subjective scales were also very similar to those estimated by Danziger et al. (1984) which indicates that this type of scale is quite robust across surveys and time, at least for the US. However, the subjective approach might benefit if more emphasis were placed on uncovering the mental tabulations that respondents undertake before answering the SIQ. For example, do respondents interpret the phrase 'living where you do now' to mean in the same home, city, or what? Likewise, what types of expenditures do respondents think are necessary? The research reported here appears to indicate that respondents take total expenditures not gross income as their frame of reference - despite the fact that the SIQ asked specifically for a gross income figure. <BR> At least two criticisms of the Rothbarth method can be advanced. First, the assumption that a household's utility is that of the adults only appears to be in conflict with the presumption of many US social policy programmes (e.g., Aid to Families with Dependent Children, school lunches, Head Start) that it is children's welfare which is of primary concern to society. Secondly, and perhaps more important, is the assumption that children do not affect adults' utility levels. This assumption is so clearly untenable and without merit that little elaboration is necessary. Economists should surely devote more resources to the development of theoretical models that allow this assumption to be relaxed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper examines whether there has been a structural change in the sensitivity of unemployment to the business cycle in the United States. The analytical framework of the investigation rests on two functional relationships between unemployment and economic activity introduced by Thurow (1965). The results are conclusive in suggesting that there has been no change in this sensitivity over the period 1948-88 (QI). Thus, both total unemployment and various categories (including sex, race, age and industry) of unemployment are as sensitive to variations in the level of economic activity today as they were three decades ago. <BR> The nature and extent of the response of employment to the vagaries of the business cycle continue to be intensely investigated issues.[1] At the macroeconomic level, the relationship between employment and the level of economic activity (output) is a fundamental component of the aggregate supply function.[2] At the microeconomic level, the relationship is a critical ingredient in the analysis of production and cost. <BR> Inexorably intertwined with the relationship between employment and the level of economic activity is the question of, how do changes in the level of economic activity affect unemployment?[3] In particular the issue of whether there has been a structural change in the dependence of unemployment on the level of economic activity has been the focus of a number of recent studies.[4] From these studies, evidence is seen suggesting that there has been an identifiable increase in the natural rate of unemployment.

AB  - This paper focuses on the effect that a crude oil import fee would have on the various producing sectors, consuming sectors and household categories in the United States where the interrelationships between these entities is explicitly considered. Special attention is given to the agricultural sectors of the economy. Thus, in the context of a general equilibrium model, the effect of a $5.00 per barrel import fee on the producing sectors in general and the three agricultural sectors plus forestry in particular, on the consuming sectors, on households and on the government is calculated. Over the period 1984--90 with such an import fee (relative to the absence of a crude-oil import fee), the model results suggest that there will be a reduction in output by all producing sectors (except the crude-oil industry) by about $13.924 billion, there will be a fall in the consumption of goods and services by about $318 million and there will be a decline in aggregate social welfare (measured as utility) by about $208 million. The government will realize an increase in revenue of about $3.622 billion. The agricultural sectors in the aggregate can expect to see a fall in output of $769 million with an attendant increase in the price of its goods as a consequence of the oil import fee.

AB  - An econometric model consisting of an inverse demand system and a set of lagged supply response relationships for major categories of US personal consumption expenditures is formulated. The model is capable of sequentially forecasting per capita personal consumption expenditures and their expenditure shares in the long run. <BR> This study develops a model for forecasting food and other personal consumption expenditures. Numerous studies such as Christensen et al. (1975), and Deaton et at. (1980) have used an ordinary (quantity-dependent) demand system to model these expenditures and test the underlying theoretical hypotheses that stem from the classical demand theory of optimizing behaviour. These ordinary demand systems, however, have limitations in applying them to long-term forecasting because the required prior input information on commodity prices over the forecasting period is difficult to obtain. <BR> To improve the forecasting, this study proposes a model which consists of an inverse (price-dependent) demand system and a set of compatible lagged supply response relationships. The demand system is used for forecasting prices on the basis of quantities and income, while the quantities are determined mainly by their previous prices. As such, the model is capable of forecasting each category's personal consumption expenditures sequentially. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Similarly, analysis of time allocation and household production activities holds a prominent place in the economics literature. This article examines a household non-market activity-the frequency of grocery shopping-and factors influencing it. Specifically, is the number of major grocery shopping trips made by a household within a specific time frame explainable on economic grounds? Alternatively, why do some households elect to shop more or less frequently than others and what effect do household characteristics have on shopping frequency? Finally, what is the effect of shopping frequency on food expenditures? <BR> Shopping behaviour has been studied often in the marketing literature. However, these studies do not have the structure associated with economic models. This results in few testable hypotheses relating to the effects of household characteristics on behaviour and accounts for the focus on non-economic factors as explanatory variables (Bagozzi, 1984). Previous economic research on shopping behaviour has been limited. Blaylock and Smallwood (1987) focused on the selection of a shopper (i.e., male or female) within a household and Doff and Sharir (1981) attempted to quantify the impact of household characteristics on the time spent in a grocery store and the size of a purchase on a single shopping trip. The latter study used a small sample (100 households) collected by the researchers in a single grocery store. <BR> To study the above issues, a constrained utility maximization model is established, its equilibrium conditions are derived, and the implied hypotheses for shopping frequency are tested using a simultaneous equations model. The theoretical model is developed in Section II. Sections III and IV describe the empirical model and estimation results. A brief summary concludes the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The objective of this study is to develop a simultaneous equations model of profitability, concentration, advertising expenditures and research and development outlays. The data used in the estimation are subjected to regression diagnostics in an effort to determine the importance to the estimation results of a subset of the data that can have a disproportionate influence. The estimation results, especially for the advertising expenditures relationship and the research and development outlays equation, do change when a truncated data sample (based on the omission of the outliers) is used. This serves partly to explain why there is some disagreement in the literature on market structure and economic performance with regard to the impact of several economic factors.

AB  - In this paper, the theoretical implications of relative output effects are discussed and are examined in an empirical model of US agricultural production using translog factor share equations. This analysis is particularly relevant to US agriculture in the postwar period because of the almost continual expansion of output associated with increased capital intensity (Schertz, 1978). The main aims of this study are to expand on a decomposition technique developed by Kako (1978), to use this technique to isolate the nonneutral effects of output, relative input price changes, and technological progress, and to indicate the contribution of these effects on the relative demand for inputs. <BR> The paper is arranged as follows. Firstly, the theoretical implications of homotheticity for production and cost functions are discussed. Following that, the model and empirical results are presented. Next, the decomposition analysis is performed which is followed by a discussion of some conclusions and policy implications. The results indicate that in addition to the substitution and technical change effects, the level of output plays a significant role in determining the relative demand for inputs.

AB  - This paper extends and generalizes a simple framework developed by Blaylock and Smallwood (1986) for evaluating and comparing via probability statements the adequacy of household food supplies at alternative levels of household income. In particular, the Blaylock and Smallwood methodology, termed the Index of Adequacy (IA), is generalized to focus on food expenditures and the effects of demographic variables. This makes the methodology applicable for addressing issues surrounding food programmes such as those posed above. Extending the IA method to include the effects of demographic variables isolates the effects of income and food expenditures and provides comparison of welfare levels across household characteristics. The IA framework focuses on the minimum household income (or food expenditures in the present analysis) necessary to purchase food supplies which are evaluated with a given degree of confidence by individuals in society as being barely adequate. Income (food expenditure) poverty lines are developed which are direct measures of welfare (with respect to food) as opposed to the indirect measure represented by the Orshansky method. These poverty thresholds and their variants have a number of uses in addition to providing insight into the issues raised above. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The cornerstone of US farm policy is that the aggregate demand for US farm products is inelastic. Whether this cornerstone is secure or not is a source of contention among a number of agricultural economists. Many agricultural economists now believe that the US agricultural sector became heavily influenced by the world economy during the early 1970s (see, for example, Schuh, 1983a, b; the Cast Report, 1983). So much so, in fact, that current farm policy is anachronistic because aggregate (combined domestic and export) demand elasticities are now elastic. This article investigates this possibility by using a relatively new econometric procedure, stochastic coefficients estimation, to estimate export demand equations for US wheat, corn and soybeans. The specification for these equations is based upon a widely cited article by Chambers and Just (1981) detailing a quarterly agricultural subsector model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The basic objective of this paper is to present and evaluate estimates of one version of a dynamic food demand system which derives explicitly from a dynamic theory of consumer behaviour. The model utilized, Phlip's generalized linear expenditure system, satisfies the basic requirements of utility theory at each point in time and dynamically, but is sufficiently simple to permit estimation using standard econometric techniques. A basic focus of the paper is on the rationale underlying the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This chapter describes a simple, fast, and inexpensive method for the determination of pesticides in foods and potentially other matrices. The method, known as the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method for pesticide residues involves the extraction of the sample with acetonitrile (MeCN) containing 1% acetic acid (HAc) and simultaneous liquid-liquid partitioning formed by adding anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) plus sodium acetate (NaAc), followed by a simple cleanup step known as dispersive solid-phase extraction (dispersive-SPE). The QuEChERS method is carried out by shaking a fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) centrifuge tube that contains 1 mL 1% HAc in MeCN plus 0.4 g anhydrous MgSO4 and 0.1 g anhydrous NaAc per gram wet sample. The tube is then centrifuged, and a portion of the extract is transferred to a tube containing 50 mg primary secondary amine (PSA) and 50 mg C18 sorbents plus 150 mg anhydrous MgSO4 per milliliter extract (the dispersive-SPE cleanup step). Then, the extract is centrifuged and transferred to autosampler vials for concurrent analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Different options in the protocol are possible depending on alternate analytical instrumentation available, desired limit of quantitation (LOQ), scope of targeted pesticides, and matrices tested.

AB  - Avian influenza viruses affect both poultry production and public health. A subtype H5N8 (clade 2.3.4.4) virus, following an outbreak in poultry in South Korea in January 2014, rapidly spread worldwide in 2014–2015. Our analysis of H5N8 viral sequences, epidemiological investigations, waterfowl migration, and poultry trade showed that long-distance migratory birds can play a major role in the global spread of avian influenza viruses. Further, we found that the hemagglutinin of clade 2.3.4.4 virus was remarkably promiscuous, creating reassortants with multiple neuraminidase subtypes. Improving our understanding of the circumpolar circulation of avian influenza viruses in migratory waterfowl will help to provide early warning of threats from avian influenza to poultry, and potentially human, health.

AB  - Reinforced latex rubbers were fabricated by incorporating small amount of nanoparticles as interface modifier. The rubbers were fabricated in a compression mold at 130°C. The incorporated nanoparticles were prepared from wheat protein (gliadin) and ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECA). These nanoparticles were disintegrated to the constituent amphiphilic block copolymers while mixing with latex suspension and adsorbed on the surface of latex particles. The disintegration of nanoparticles and adsorption of the constituent amphiphilic block copolymers on the surface of latex particles were investigated by dynamic light scattering. The improved mechanical properties of the produced reinforced latex rubbers were characterized by mechanical analysis (stress–strain) and hardness test. Incorporation of nanoparticle into latex improved most of the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, % elongation, energy at break, and toughness by 30% to 300%. On the other hand, tensile modulus and hardness were not much affected by the incorporation of nanoparticles. This research showed that the optimum percentage of nanoparticle is 2%, and the optimum gliadin:ECA weight ratio is 3:1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Peanut allergenicity has been reported to be influenced by heat treatment, yet the commonly available extracts for skin prick testing (SPT) are derived from raw extracts. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of heat treatment on the SPT reactivity and specific IgE binding to peanut. METHODS: Three commercial extracts and 3 laboratory-prepared extracts, including raw, roasted, and boiled, were used for SPT in 19 patients with suspected peanut allergy and in 4 individuals who eat peanut without any symptoms. Serum samples were obtained to measure total IgE in addition to specific IgE binding to the study extracts by immunoblotting. Peanut allergy was confirmed with challenge test unless the individual had a convincing history of a severe reaction. RESULTS: Eleven study participants were considered peanut allergic based on a strong history or positive challenge test result. SPT with the prepared and commercial reagents showed that the boiled extract had the highest specificity (67% vs 42%-63% for the other extracts). The prepared extracts showed similar SPT sensitivity (81%). Three patients with a history of severe reaction and elevated specific IgE levels to peanut to the 3 study extracts had variable SPT reactivity to 1 or more of the commercial extracts. IgE binding to Ara h 2 was found in nearly all patients, regardless of their clinical reactivity. CONCLUSIONS: None of the extracts tested showed optimal diagnostic reliability regarding both sensitivity and specificity. Perhaps testing should be performed with multiple individual extracts prepared by different methods.

AB  - Cinnamon extracts (CE) are reported to have beneficial effects on people with normal and impaired glucose tolerance, the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. However, clinical results are controversial. Molecular characterization of CE effects is limited. This study investigated the effects of CE on gene expression in cultured mouse adipocytes. Water-soluble CE was prepared from ground cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to investigate CE effects on the expression of genes coding for adipokines, glucose transporter (GLUT) family, and insulin-signaling components in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. CE (100[mu]g/ml) increased GLUT1 mRNA levels 1.91±0.15, 4.39±0.78, and 6.98±2.18-fold of the control after 2-, 4-, and 16-h treatments, respectively. CE decreased the expression of further genes encoding insulin-signaling pathway proteins including GSK3B, IGF1R, IGF2R, and PIK3R1. This study indicates that CE regulates the expression of multiple genes in adipocytes and this regulation could contribute to the potential health benefits of CE.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Observational studies have linked higher intakes of whole grains to lower abdominal adiposity; however, the association between whole- and refined-grain intake and body fat compartments has yet to be reported. OBJECTIVE: Different aspects of diet may be differentially related to body fat distribution. The purpose of this study was to assess associations between whole- and refined-grain intake and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). DESIGN: Cross-sectional associations between whole- and refined-grain intakes, waist circumference measures, and abdominal SAT and VAT volumes were examined in 2834 Framingham Heart Study participants (49.4% women; age range: 32-83 y). Dietary information was assessed with the use of a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. RESULTS: Whole-grain intake was inversely associated with SAT (2895 compared with 2552 cm(3) in the lowest compared with the highest quintile category, P for trend < 0.001) and VAT (1883 compared with 1563 cm(3), P for trend < 0.001), after adjustment for age, sex, current smoking status, total energy, and alcohol intake. In contrast, refined-grain intake was positively associated with SAT (2748 compared with 2934 cm(3), P for trend = 0.01) and VAT (1727 compared with 1928 cm(3), P for trend < 0.001) in multivariable models. When SAT and VAT were evaluated jointly, the P value for SAT was attenuated (P = 0.28 for whole grains, P = 0.60 for refined grains), whereas VAT remained associated with both whole grains (P < 0.001) and refined grains (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing whole-grain intake is associated with lower VAT in adults, whereas higher intakes of refined grains are associated with higher VAT. Further research is required to elicit the potential mechanisms whereby whole- and refined-grain foods may influence body fat distribution. © 2010 American Society for Nutrition.

AB  - Background and Aims: ATP-binding cassette transporters G5/G8 (ABCG5/G8) are associated with HDL-C concentrations. To assess whether the effect of ABCG5/G8 genetic variants on HDL-C concentrations is dependent on ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 (ABCA1), we studied potential interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at ABCG5/G8 (i7892T > C, 5U145A > C, T54CA > G, T400KC > A) and ABCA1 (i27943G > A, i48168G > A, K219RG > A, i125970G > C, 3U8995A > G) genes with HDL-C concentrations.Methods and Results: ABCG5/G8 and ABCA1 SNPs were genotyped in 788 subjects (228 men and 560 women) who participated in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Biochemical measurements were determined by standard procedures. Genotyping was performed using TaqMan assays according to routine laboratory protocols. Significant gene-gene interactions for HDL-C were found between ABCG8 (5U145A > C, T54CA > G, T400KC > A) SNPs and ABCA1_i48168G > A genetic variant (P = 0.009, P = 0.042 and P = 0.036, respectively), in which carriers of the 5U145C and 54C alleles, and homozygotes for the T400 allele at ABCG8 genetic variants displayed lower HDL-C concentrations than homozygotes for the 5U145A and T54 alleles, and heterozygotes for the 400K allele at ABCG8 SNPs, only if they were also homozygous for the minor allele (A) at the aforementioned ABCA1 SNP.Conclusions: The gene-gene interactions reported in the present study support the hypothesis that the effect of ABCG5/G8 genetic variants on HDL-C concentrations is dependent on ABCA1 expression. Replication of these analyses to further populations, particularly with low HDL-C, is clearly warranted.

N2  - This article investigates the impact of rising wheat prices on household food security in Afghanistan. Exploiting a unique nationally-representative household survey, we find evidence of large declines in the real value of per capita food consumption. Smaller price elasticities with respect to calories than with respect to food consumption suggest that households trade off quality for quantity as they move away from nutrient-rich foods such as meat and vegetables toward staple foods. Our work improves upon country-level simulation studies by providing estimates of actual household food security during a price shock in one of the world's poorest, most food-insecure countries.

N2  - The purpose of this paper is to estimate China's demand for imported soybeans and soybean oil from both country-of-origin and product form perspectives. A differential production approach is used to estimate China's demand for imported soybeans and soybean oil. The empirical demand estimates are then used to derive conditional and unconditional elasticities of demand for each exporting country with respect to changes in domestic and import prices, and the price of resources used in soybean meal and oil production. Results indicate that both country-of-origin and product form competition exist in the Chinese market. Estimation results indicate that China's soybean meal prices significantly impacted its soybean and soybean oil imports. Seasonality is detected in China's soybean imports, but not in soybean oil imports.

AB  - Abstract: We consider four asynchronous parallel algorithms for Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) thermal radiation transport on spatially decomposed meshes. Two of the algorithms are from the production codes KULL from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Milagro from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Improved versions of each of the existing algorithms are also presented. All algorithms were analyzed in an implementation of the KULL IMC package in ALEGRA, a Sandia National Laboratory high energy density physics code. The improved Milagro algorithm performed the best by scaling almost linearly out to 244 processors for well load balanced problems. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Tocopherol and tocotrienol contents of raw fruits and vegetables and processed products were determined by saponification and normal phase liquid chromatography. All samples were either locally obtained or collected as part of the US Department of Agriculture''s National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP). All fruits, vegetables and processed products were selected from the USDA Key Foods list. The study included 32 raw and processed fruits, 22 raw vegetables, various tomato products, baked beans, cooked potatoes, frozen broccoli and frozen green peas. α-Tocopherol (α-T) was detectable in all products and usually represented the vitamin E form present in highest quantity. γ-Tocopherol (γ-T) was higher than α-T only in cantaloupes, figs, red raspberries, cauliflower, button mushrooms, lettuce, and green peas. α- and γ-Tocotrienols (α- and γ-T3) were measurable in several fruit and vegetables but at levels usually less than 0.1mg/100g.

AB  - Abstract: Aerobic treatment of the supernatant overflowing an aquaculture manure-thickening tank was studied in replicated circular tank reactors (500L) at hydraulic residence times (HRT) of 1, 3, and 6 days under cool (mean temperature=13.5°C) and warm (mean temperature=19.3°C) water conditions. Influent characteristics differed between temperatures, most likely reflecting changes in microbial activity occurring within the material contained in the gravity thickeners. Organic carbon and carbonaceous substances were the most readily removed during aerobic treatment. Soluble carbonaceous biological oxygen demand (cBOD) concentrations were decreased an average 91% across all HRTs at the warmer temperatures and 82% during the cool temperatures. Whether measured as soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD), or dissolved organic carbon (DOC), organic constituent removal efficiency ranged from 75 to 87% at all HRTs during both study phases. Total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations increased within the aerobic treatment vessels as soluble wastes were converted into heterotrophic and/or algae biomass. The increase in TSS concentration within the aerobic treatment vessel indicates that a solids capture process will be necessary to meet effluent suspended solids standards when employing the aerobic basin strategy. Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) removal efficiency increased with increasing HRT, with an 87% removal efficiency achieved at the 6-day HRT under warm water conditions. During the cool temperature phase, the highest TAN reduction, 57%, was observed at the 3-day HRT. With respect to nitrite and nitrate concentration, effluent from the 1-day HRT treatment possessed the lowest concentrations under both temperature conditions. Dissolved phosphorus concentrations were reduced by an average 22% following treatment at the cool temperature. Under warm water conditions, phosphorus concentrations were reduced by 16.6, 42.6, and 64.7% for the 1-, 3-, and 6-day HRTs, respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Hill et al. [R. J. Hill, D.L. Koch, J.C. Ladd, J. Fluid Mech. (2001), 448, pp. 213–241 and 243–278] proposed a set of drag correlations, based on data from Lattice–Boltzmann simulations. These correlations, while very accurate within the range of void fractions and Reynolds numbers used in the Lattice–Boltzmann simulations, do not cover the full range of void fractions and Reynolds numbers encountered in fluidized bed simulations. In this paper a drag correlation applicable to the full range of void fractions and Reynolds numbers is developed by blending the Hill–Koch–Ladd (HKL) drag correlation with known limiting forms of the gas–solids drag function such that the blended function is continuous with respect to Reynolds number and void fraction. This study also corrects a misinterpretation of the HKL drag correlation that was published in the literature, which makes the drag function discontinuous with respect to the Reynolds number. Two examples of gas/solids flows in a bubbling fluidized bed and a one-dimensional channel flow are used to illustrate differences between the proposed extension of HKL drag correlation and another form published in the literature.

AB  - Abstract: Plasma lipid profile is affected by endogenous estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As plasma lipid concentrations have a significant heritable basis and the effects of both endogenous estrogen and use of HRT are mediated by estrogen receptors, we sought to investigate the relationships between polymorphisms in estrogen receptor-α (ESR1) and plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. We analyzed data from 854 women (mean age 52±10 years) from the Framingham Heart Study. A TA repeat in the promoter region, c.30T > C in exon 1, c.454-397T > C, and c.454-351A > G in intron 1, all in linkage disequilibrium (LD), were significantly associated with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size and concentration of small LDL particles. Women with the c.454-397C allele had larger LDL particle size (21.09±0.02nm versus 21.01±0.03nm, p =0.021) concurrent with lower small LDL particle concentration (0.47±0.02mmol/L versus 0.58±0.03mmol/L, p =0.008). Moreover, the TA[L]–c.30C–c.454-397C–c.454-351G haplotype (frequency, 32%) was associated with lower small LDL particle concentrations (−0.06±0.03mmol/L change associated with each copy of this haplotype, p =0.011) when compared to the TA[S]–c.30T–c.454-397T–c.454-351A haplotype (frequency, 46%), where L and S are long and short TA repeats. Our results suggest that common ESR1 polymorphisms have a significant effect on lipoprotein metabolism in women. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: ‘Biodiesel’ is the name given to a renewable diesel fuel that is produced from fats and oils. It consists of the simple alkyl esters of fatty acids, most typically the methyl esters. We have developed a computer model to estimate the capital and operating costs of a moderately-sized industrial biodiesel production facility. The major process operations in the plant were continuous-process vegetable oil transesterification, and ester and glycerol recovery. The model was designed using contemporary process simulation software, and current reagent, equipment and supply costs, following current production practices. Crude, degummed soybean oil was specified as the feedstock. Annual production capacity of the plant was set at 37,854,118l (10×106 gal). Facility construction costs were calculated to be US$11.3 million. The largest contributors to the equipment cost, accounting for nearly one third of expenditures, were storage tanks to contain a 25day capacity of feedstock and product. At a value of US$0.52/kg ($0.236/lb) for feedstock soybean oil, a biodiesel production cost of US$0.53/l ($2.00/gal) was predicted. The single greatest contributor to this value was the cost of the oil feedstock, which accounted for 88% of total estimated production costs. An analysis of the dependence of production costs on the cost of the feedstock indicated a direct linear relationship between the two, with a change of US$0.020/l ($0.075/gal) in product cost per US$0.022/kg ($0.01/lb) change in oil cost. Process economics included the recovery of coproduct glycerol generated during biodiesel production, and its sale into the commercial glycerol market as an 80% w/w aqueous solution, which reduced production costs by ≈6%. The production cost of biodiesel was found to vary inversely and linearly with variations in the market value of glycerol, increasing by US$0.0022/l ($0.0085/gal) for every US$0.022/kg ($0.01/lb) reduction in glycerol value. The model is flexible in that it can be modified to calculate the effects on capital and production costs of changes in feedstock cost, changes in the type of feedstock employed, changes in the value of the glycerol coproduct, and changes in process chemistry and technology.

AB  - Abstract: If the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it would be necessary to decide whether to include carbon sequestration policies—such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation—as part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities. We investigate the cost of forest-based carbon sequestration by analyzing econometrically micro-data on revealed landowner preferences, modeling six major private land uses in a comprehensive analysis of the contiguous United States. The econometric estimates are used to simulate landowner responses to sequestration policies. We treat key commodity prices as endogenous and predict carbon storage changes with a carbon sink model. Our estimated sequestration costs exceed those from previous engineering cost analyses and sectoral optimization models. Our estimated sequestration supply function is similar to the carbon abatement supply function from energy-based analyses, suggesting that forest-based carbon sequestration merits consideration in a cost-effective portfolio of domestic US climate change strategies.

AB  - The recent emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) strains in poultry and their subsequent transmission to humans in Southeast Asia have raised concerns about the potential pandemic spread of lethal disease. In this paper we describe the development and testing of an adenovirus-based influenza A virus vaccine directed against the hemagglutinin (HA) protein of the A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) (VN/1203/04) strain isolated during the lethal human outbreak in Vietnam from 2003 to 2005. We expressed different portions of HA from a recombinant replication-incompetent adenoviral vector, achieving vaccine production within 36 days of acquiring the virus sequence. BALB/c mice were immunized with a prime-boost vaccine and exposed to a lethal intranasal dose of VN/1203/04 H5N1 virus 70 days later. Vaccination induced both HA-specific antibodies and cellular immunity likely to provide heterotypic immunity. Mice vaccinated with full-length HA were fully protected from challenge with VN/1203/04. We next evaluated the efficacy of adenovirus-based vaccination in domestic chickens, given the critical role of fowl species in the spread of HPAI worldwide. A single subcutaneous immunization completely protected chickens from an intranasal challenge 21 days later with VN/1203/04, which proved lethal to all control-vaccinated chickens within 2 days. These data indicate that the rapid production and subsequent administration of recombinant adenovirus-based vaccines to both birds and high-risk individuals in the face of an outbreak may serve to control the pandemic spread of lethal avian influenza.

AB  - We have previously shown that the leader proteinase (Lpro) of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) blocks cap-dependent mRNA translation and that a genetically engineered FMDV lacking the leader proteinase coding region (A12-LLV2) is attenuated in cell culture and susceptible animals. The attenuated phenotype apparently is a consequence of the inability of A12-LLV2 to block the expression of type I interferon (IFN-α/β) protein, resulting in IFN-induced inhibition of FMDV replication. Here we show that in addition to preventing IFN-α/β protein synthesis, Lpro reduces the level of immediate-early induction of IFN-β mRNA and IFN-stimulated gene products such as double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase R (PKR), 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase, and Mx1 mRNAs in swine cells. Down-regulation of cellular PKR by RNA interference did not affect wild-type virus yield but resulted in a higher yield of A12-LLV2, indicating a direct role of PKR in controlling FMDV replication in the natural host. The observation that Lpro controls the transcription of genes involved in innate immunity reveals a novel role of this protein in antagonizing the cellular response to viral infection.

AB  - We report a genetic algorithm approach combined with ab initio calculations to determine the structure of hydrogenated 〈110〉 Si nanowires. As the number of atoms per length increases, we find that the cross section of the nanowire evolves from chains of six-atom rings to fused pairs of such chains to hexagons bounded by {001} and {111} facets. Our calculations predict that hexagonal wires become stable starting at about 1.2 nm diameter, which is consistent with recent experimental reports of nanowires with diameters of about 3 nm.

AB  - Abstract: It has been well documented that dietary copper (Cu) deficiency causes a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in rodent models. However, a possible alteration in gene expression has not been fully examined. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of Cu deficiency on protein profiles in rat heart tissue with the combination of the isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) method and Western blotting analysis. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were fed diets that were either Cu-adequate (6.0μg Cu/g diet n =6) or Cu-deficient (0.3μg Cu/g diet n =6) for 5week. The ICAT analysis suggested that high-salt buffer (HSB) protein profiles from heart tissue of Cu-deficient rats were different from those of Cu-adequate rats; seven major protein species differed by more than a 100% increase or a 50% decrease. With three available antibodies, our Western blotting analysis confirmed that there was an 85% increase in fibulin-5 (also known DANCE/EVEC) and a 71% decrease in cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) VIb subunit, but no change in succinate dehydrogenase complex (also known complex II) IP subunit in Cu-deficient rat heart. Collectively, these data may be useful in deciphering the molecular basis for the impairments of function related to the hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy of Cu-deficient rats. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The Los Alamos Raman lidar has been used to make high resolution (25m) estimates of the evapotranspiration rate over adjacent corn and soybean canopies. The lidar makes three-dimensional measurements of the water vapor content of the atmosphere directly above the canopy that are inverted using Monin–Obukhov similarity theory. This may be used to examine the relationship between evapotranspiration and surface moisture/soil type. Lidar estimates of evapotranspiration reveal a high degree of spatial variability over corn and soybean fields that may be associated with small elevation changes in the area. The spatial structure of the variability is characterized using a structure function and correlation function approach. The power law relationship found by other investigators for soil moisture is not clear in the data for evapotranspiration, nor is the data a straight line over the measured lags. The magnitude of the structure function and the slope changes with time of day, with a probable connection to the amount of evapotranspiration and the spatial variability of the water vapor source.

AB  - Fresh-cut apples contaminated with either Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella enterica serovar Poona, using strains implicated in outbreaks, were treated with one of 17 antagonists originally selected for their ability to inhibit fungal postharvest decay on fruit. While most of the antagonists increased the growth of the food-borne pathogens, four of them, including Gluconobacter asaii (T1-D1), a Candida sp. (T4-E4), Discosphaerina fagi (ST1-C9), and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (T1-E2), proved effective in preventing the growth or survival of food-borne human pathogens on fresh-cut apple tissue. The contaminated apple tissue plugs were stored for up to 7 days at two different temperatures. The four antagonists survived or grew on the apple tissue at 10 or 25°C. These four antagonists reduced the Listeria monocytogenes populations and except for the Candida sp. (T4-E4), also reduced the S. enterica serovar Poona populations. The reduction was higher at 25°C than at 10°C, and the growth of the antagonists, as well as pathogens, increased at the higher temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Protein oxidation affects the structure of many amino acids. Variants of tyrosine are increasingly important in medical and food sciences. The synthesis of standards is essential for monitoring the disease state of patients with various illnesses and the quality of a number of food products. A method for monitoring standard synthesis of dityrosine and 3-bromotyrsoine from tyrosine using capillary electrophoresis (CE) is presented. Optimum separation was achieved using an isoelectric buffer consisting of 100mM iminodiacetic acid (IDA)+75mM lauryl sulfobetaine (SB 3-12)+0.02% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in a 27cm×75μm capillary at 22kV and 45°C. Using these conditions the tyrosine adducts could be easily separated in less than 4min. The resolution of the CE method was similar to HPLC separations, but analysis time was distinctly shorter.

AB  - Abstract: We report the direct observation of oriented second-layer physisorbed molecules on a single crystal surface by electron stimulated desorption. Experiments and simulations show that the orientation of the second-layer physisorbed CO molecules on Ag(110) is the result of both electrostatic and dispersion forces from the underlying chemisorbed CO and Ag atoms. At 25K, the physisorbed C–O bond is tilted and azimuthally oriented with the C–O bond axis inclined in an azimuthal plane at 45° to the principal Ag(110) azimuthal crystallographic directions. The O atom in CO is directed outward, giving an O+ beam at 43° to the normal. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations of water have been carried out in the presence of an external electromagnetic field of frequency 100?GHz and RMS intensity 0.1?V/Å in the isothermal–isobaric ensemble from 260 to 400?K and in the pure Newtonian case from ambient temperatures to the supercritical state. The rigid, non-polarizable SPC, SPC/E, TIP4P, TIP4P-Ew and the polarizable TIP4P-FQ potentials were used for a system of 256 molecules, along with both the Lekner and Ewald techniques to handle long-range electrostatics, in an effort to assess the impact of different long-range electrostatics methodologies on the results. Significant alterations in molecular mobility and hydrogen bonding patterns were found relative to zero-field conditions. The heating profiles were compared to that predicted from a macroscopic energy balance, and the TIP4P-FQ model was found to be superior in this aspect. Although the Lekner and Ewald techniques yielded similar results in the case of the non-polarizable potentials, some significant differences were noted between them for the TIP4P-FQ model at lower temperatures.

AB  - Abstract: Methods for analyzing the four-point cube are not commonly encountered. This paper illustrates the estimation of quadratic-term coefficients on four monotonic data in prismatic array. The analysis depends on the sequential application of interpolating equations for the four-point diamond and eight-point prismatic arrays. The estimates are often within an order-of-magnitude of the true values if the data do not suggest steep or rapidly changing gradients. The method is not strictly limited by the requirement that the data form a monotonic sequence. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Two native desert shrubs were evaluated for their growth potential and water and nitrogen uptake patterns over a nitrate-contaminated aquifer at a former uranium ore-processing facility in northeastern Arizona. Sarcobatus vermiculatus and Atriplex canescens are obligate and facultative phreatophytes, respectively, that dominate the local desert plant community. The main questions we addressed were: (1) Are these shrubs able to use water or nitrogen from the alluvial aquifer? (2) If so, does grazing interfere with that ability of shrubs? (3) What would be the ideal strategy to take up N from the plume and prevent its expansion and recharge using shrubs? δ18O and δD isotope signatures from water in plant stem samples suggest that both species utilize mainly deep, stored soil water derived from winter rains for transpiration, rather than summer rains or plume water. δ15N enrichment values were similar for leaves of plants growing on and off the plume and for soil and aquifer water samples, but nitrate-N levels in leaf tissues were five times higher in plants growing on the plume compared to off the plume, suggesting they may have derived at least part of their nitrogen from the contamination plume. Total leaf N was also higher for plants growing on the plume. Under present conditions, only about 5% of the area over the plume is vegetated. Plants protected from grazing inside exclosures increased in volume by 2–4-fold over three growing seasons. Transplants of A. canescens, protected from grazing and irrigated over the first summer, established readily and grew into large shrubs after 3 years. On the basis of this study, the shrub community could be increased to as high as 25% cover and could make a significant contribution to controlling recharge if the contaminated site was protected from grazing. The results suggest that deeply rooted desert shrubs can impact the subsoil water and nitrogen balance, and that this balance can be disrupted by land use practices such as overgrazing that degrade the vegetation cover.

AB  - Abstract: The hydrodynamic behavior of high-methoxy (HM) and low-methoxy (LM) pectin solutions was examined by capillary viscometric analysis. The LM-pectin was produced from the HM-pectin by PME-deesterification. As a result of the viscometric analysis, the PME-deesterified LM-pectin showed quite different solution behavior from the HM-pectin. The LM-pectin had larger intrinsic viscosity ([η]) than HM-pectin when dissolved in 0.005 and 0.05M concentrations of monovalent salts whereas HM-pectin had a higher value of [η] when dissolved in 0.2M salt than LM-pectin. The concentration dependence of HM-pectin η red values was fairly constant, whereas the concentration dependence of LM-pectin η red values had a tendency to decrease as the pectin concentration approached zero. The effect of salt-type on the hydrodynamic behavior of both HM- and LM-pectin solutions was almost negligible. The precipitous drop in LM-pectin [η] upon increasing the salt concentration from 0.05 to 0.2M is interpreted as arising from its disaggregation. This interpretation is based in part on data from HPSEC with online light scattering and viscosity detection. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: As part of a study identifying plasmids in Campylobacter, we isolated and sequenced two novel cryptic plasmids from an agricultural isolate of Campylobacter coli. The larger of the two plasmids, p3384, is 3316bp in length and has a G+C content of 31.18%. A typical origin of replication consisting of five iterons was observed directly upstream of the first of three putative ORFs. The smaller plasmid, p3386, is 2426bp in length and has a G+C content of 26.22%. Of the three putative ORFs detected on p3386, one shared homology with a putative protein from Campylobacter upsaliensis. The unique sequence of p3386 makes it attractive for further study concerning the evolutionary relationship of this plasmid to other Campylobacter plasmids, and to other Campylobacter isolates.

AB  - Bi- and uni-directional chromosome painting (ZOO-FISH) and gene mapping have revealed correspondences between human chromosome (HSA) 17 and porcine chromosome (SSC) 12 harboring economically important quantitative trait loci. In the present study, we have assigned 204 genes localized on HSA17 to SSC12 to generate a comprehensive comparative map between HSA17 and SSC12. Two hundred fifty-five primer pairs were designed using porcine sequences orthologous with human genes. Of the 255 primer pairs, 208 (81.6%) were used to assign the corresponding genes to porcine chromosomes using the INRA-Minnesota 7000-rad porcine × Chinese hamster whole genome radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel. Two hundred three genes were integrated into the SSC12 IMpRH linkage maps; and one gene, PPARBP, was found to link to THRA1 located in SSC12 but not incorporated into the linkage maps. Three genes (GIT1, SLC25A11, and HT008) were suggested to link to SSC12 markers, and the remaining gene (RPL26) did not link to any genes/expressed sequence tags/markers registered, including those in the present study. A comparison of the gene orders among SSC12, HSA17, and mouse chromosome 11 indicates that intra-chromosomal rearrangements occurred frequently in this ancestral mammalian chromosome during speciation.

AB  - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and subsequent antiretroviral therapy have been associated with an increased incidence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease and has been shown to suppress cholesterol efflux from virus-infected macrophages by inducing Nef-dependent down-regulation of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). Here, the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaque model was used to examine the consequences and mechanisms involved. SIV infection drove a significant remodeling of high-density lipoprotein profiles, suggesting that systemic inhibition of the ABCA1-dependent reverse cholesterol transport pathway occurred. The ABCA1 cholesterol transporter was significantly down-regulated in the livers of the SIV-infected macaques, and the viral protein Nef could be detected in the livers as well as in the plasma of infected animals. Extracellular myristoylated HIV Nef inhibited cholesterol efflux from macrophages and hepatocytes. Moreover, serum samples from SIV-infected macaques also suppressed cholesterol efflux in a Nef-dependent fashion. These results indicate that SIV infection is a significant contributor to primary dyslipidemia, likely through the ability of Nef to suppress ABCA1-dependent reverse cholesterol transport.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Vitamin E supplementation may be a potential strategy to prevent respiratory tract infections (RIs) in the elderly. The efficacy of vitamin E supplementation may depend on individual factors including specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at immunoregulatory genes. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether the effect of vitamin E on RIs in the elderly was dependent on genetic backgrounds as indicated by SNPs at cytokine genes. DESIGN: We used data and DNA from a previous vitamin E intervention study (200 IU vitamin E or a placebo daily for 1 y) in elderly nursing home residents to examine vitamin E-gene interactions for incidence of RI. We determined the genotypes of common SNPs at IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma in 500 participants. We used negative binomial regression to analyze the association between genotype and incidence of infection. RESULTS: The effect of vitamin E on lower RI depended on sex and the SNP at IL-10 -819G-->A (P = 0.03 for interaction for lower RI). Furthermore, we observed that subjects with the least prevalent genotypes at IL-2 -330A-->C (P = 0.02 for upper RI), IL-10 -819G-->A (P = 0.08 for upper RI), and IL-10 -1082C-->T (P < 0.001 for lower RI in men) had a lower incidence of RI independent of vitamin E supplementation. CONCLUSIONS: Studies that evaluate the effect of vitamin E on RIs should consider both genetic factors and sex because our results suggest that both may have a significant bearing on the efficacy of vitamin E. Furthermore, common SNPs at cytokine genes may contribute to the individual risk of RIs in the elderly.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Folate deficiency has serious consequences for the fetus. Folic acid fortification of food addresses this problem. However, clinical consequences of vitamin B-12 deficiency may be worsened by high folic acid intakes, perhaps as a direct result of unmetabolized folic acid, which does not occur naturally in body tissues. OBJECTIVE: We attempted to attribute associations that we previously found between higher folate status and anemia and cognitive test performance to circulating unmetabolized folic acid or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MeTHF). DESIGN: The subjects (n = 1858) were senior participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2002) who had normal renal function and reported no history of stroke, recent anemia therapy, or diseases of the liver, thyroid, or coronary arteries. Subjects had undergone a phlebotomy, a complete blood count, and cognitive and dietary assessments. RESULTS: Circulating unmetabolized folic acid was detected in approximately 33% of the subjects and was related to an increased odds of anemia in alcohol users. In seniors with a serum vitamin B-12 concentration <148 pmol/L or a plasma methylmalonic acid concentration > or =210 nmol/L, the presence compared with the absence of detectable circulating unmetabolized folic acid was related to lower cognitive test scores and lower mean cell volume. In the same subgroup, higher serum 5MeTHF was related to an increased odds of anemia and a marginally significantly decreased odds of macrocytosis. In seniors with a normal vitamin B-12 status, a higher serum 5MeTHF concentration was related to higher cognitive test scores. CONCLUSION: Results of this epidemiologic study were somewhat consistent with reports on the folic acid treatment of patients with pernicious anemia, but some findings were unexpected. © 2010 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D is involved in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine the relation between vitamin D status and incidence of T2D. DESIGN: We used a subsample of 1972 Framingham Offspring Study participants to develop a regression model to predict plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations from age, sex, body mass index, month of blood sampling, total vitamin D intake, smoking status, and total energy intake. Using this model, we calculated the predicted 25(OH)D score for each nondiabetic participant at the cohort's fifth examination to assess the association between the predicted 25(OH)D score and incidence of T2D by using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: A total of 133 T2D cases were identified over a 7-y average follow-up. In comparison with individuals in the lowest tertile of the predicted 25(OH)D score at baseline, those in the highest tertile had a 40% lower incidence of T2D after adjustment for age, sex, waist circumference, parental history of T2D, hypertension, low HDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, impaired fasting glucose, and Dietary Guidelines for Americans Adherence Index score (hazard ratio: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.97; P for trend = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that higher vitamin D status is associated with decreased risk of T2D. Maintaining optimal 25(OH)D status may be a strategy to prevent the development of T2D. © 2010 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The S-adenosylmethionine synthetase type 1 (MAT1A) gene encodes a key enzyme in one-carbon nutrient metabolism. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the association of MAT1A variants with homocysteine, DNA damage, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). DESIGN: Eight variants of MAT1A were examined for associations with hypertension, stroke, CVD, homocysteine, and DNA damage in 1006 participants of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Two variants were replicated in 1147 participants of the Nutrition, Aging, and Memory in Elders Study. RESULTS: Two variants and haplotypes were strongly associated with hypertension and stroke, independent of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variants. Homozygotes of the MAT1A d18777A (rs3851059) allele had a significantly greater likelihood of stroke (odds ratio: 4.30; 95% CI: 1.34, 12.19; P = 0.006), whereas 3U1510A (rs7087728) homozygotes had a lower likelihood of hypertension (odds ratio: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.48, 0.95; P = 0.022) and stroke (odds ratio: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.82; P = 0.015). A similar trend of association was observed in a second elderly population. Furthermore, strong interactions between MAT1A genotypes and vitamin B-6 status were found. Carriers of the nonrisk allele 3U1510A had a lower 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine concentration--a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage--when plasma vitamin B-6 was high, whereas homozygotes for the risk-allele 3U1510G had higher 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine concentrations, regardless of vitamin B-6 status. CONCLUSIONS: MAT1A variants were strongly associated with hypertension and stroke. Improving folate and vitamin B-6 status might decrease the CVD risk of only a subset of the population, depending on genotype. These findings suggest that impairments in methylation activity, independent of homocysteine, have an effect on CVD risk. Copyright © 2010 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Abstract: An inexpensive, fast, and close to universal infiltration coating technique has been developed for fabricating fast diffusion-release ISOL targets. Targets are fabricated by deposition of finely divided (∼1μm) compound materials in a paint-slurry onto highly permeable, complex structure reticulated-vitreous-carbon-foam (RVCF) matrices, followed by thermal heat treatment. In this article, we describe the coating method and present information on the physical integrity, uniformity of deposition, and matrix adherence of SiC, HfC and UC2 targets, destined for on-line use as targets at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF).

AB  - Abstract: An all-permanent-magnet, 6GHz ECR ion source with a central flat magnetic field profile has been evaluated at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This magnetic field configuration produces a large volume ECR zone when the input RF radiation is tuned in resonance with the central flat field, thereby increasing the probability for absorption of microwave power and, consequently, the hot electron population in the plasma volume. The magnetic field of the source can also be converted from the flat-B configuration to the traditional minimum-B configuration and vice versa. The studies show that the volume ECR configuration produced higher charge states and higher intensities for high charge states than the conventional minimum-B configuration. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) is a national user facility dedicated to nuclear structure and astrophysics research with Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) using the Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOL) technique. HRIBF also maintains a vibrant development program for ISOL targets, ion sources and diagnostics. As a bridge to RIA, HRIBF continues to expand its technology. Presently, a $4.75M High Power Target Laboratory (HPTL) is being constructed to provide a facility for testing new targets, target geometries, ion sources and beam preparation techniques. HPTL will ultimately be co-located with a second RIB production system (IRIS2). An external axial injection system for the driver cyclotron, ORIC, is planned to provide higher beam intensities, reduce machine activation and eliminate cathode lifetime limitations. A multi-channel residual gas BPM is under development for measuring intensity and position of the driver beam. RIB production via electron-induced photofission is also being explored to attain higher intensities. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: We present gradient corrected density functional theory investigations of the adsorption of sulfur on the Pd(111) surface for a wide range of coverages up to a monolayer (ML). Adsorption of atomic S on the fcc hollow sites is the most energetically favorable at low and medium coverages (⩽0.50ML). Our studies suggest that at low coverages, island formation with a (√3×√3) structure will occur in agreement with experimental observations. At S coverages above 0.50ML, we find a tendency to form S–S bonds on the surface. Electronic density of states plots indicate that as S coverage increases, a weakening of the S–Pd interactions occurs which is compensated by enhancement of the S–S interactions.

AB  - Abstract: We consider the shape of the magnetic Compton profile (MCP), J mag(p  z ), in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 for momentum transfer p  z  along the [110] direction and the associated reciprocal form factor B(r) defined by taking the one-dimensional Fourier transform of J mag(p  z ). B(r) is shown to contain a prominent dip at r≈1Å, where the minimum value B min of B(r) can be related to the occupancies of the e g orbitals of and symmetry in the system. We illustrate our procedure in detail by analyzing the measured MCP at 5K and the MCP computed within the framework of the local spin density approximation (LSDA) and comment on the differences between the measured and computed e g occupancies as a reflection of the limitations of the LSDA in treating electron correlation effects.

AB  - Abstract: A Ti:Sapphire (IR 800-nm) femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser was used to ablate a sputtering grade of silicon carbide (SiC) in an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The laser-induced plasma species were then driven and grown to form 3C-SiC films of about 1μm thick on single crystal silicon wafers at 20°C (room temperature) and 500°C. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation were used to characterize the structure, composition, thickness and properties of the SiC films. Results of the femtosecond-pulse laser deposited (fs-PLD) films were compared with those obtained by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) and nanosecond-pulse laser (excimer laser at 248-nm) deposition (ns-PLD). The distinctive features of fs-PLD films are their extremely smooth surfaces, stoichiometry, amorphous structure and low defect density compared to APCVD films, along with better film quality and higher growth rates than ns-PLD films. In addition to film growth studies, a SiC microgripper (to grab 20-μm-sized objects) was micromachined by use of the fs-pulsed laser to demonstrate the utility of ultra-short PLD in SiC-device fabrication.

AB  - Ovar-DRB1 is part of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II of sheep and functions by presenting extracellular-derived peptides to the immune system. Although there are over 100 different Ovar-DRB1 DNA sequences reported in GenBank, only two Ovar-DRB1 mRNA sequences have been reported. As a first step in understanding MHC Class II function as it relates to disease progression in sheep, Ovar-DRB1 transcripts encoding the peptide-binding site or the first domain (β1) of Ovar-DRB1 in a 32-ewe–lamb flock were identified and characterized by using reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction, cloning, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. Fourteen new Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences out of a total of 15 Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences in a ewe–lamb flock of 32 sheep were identified. One Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequence was 100% identical to M93432, one of the two Ovar-DRB1 mRNA sequences reported in GenBank. Twelve out of 15 Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences were 100% identical to the corresponding previously reported Ovar-DRB1 genomic DNA sequences, indicating that these Ovar-DRB1 genomic DNA sequences are also transcribed. One of three of the remaining Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences, DRB1*07012, had a synonymous substitution resulting in an identical deduced amino acid sequence to DRB1*0701. Two of the remaining three Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences had nucleotide differences and subsequent deduced amino acid sequence differences when compared to known Ovar-DRB1 β1 genomic DNA sequences, and therefore, DRB1*0206 and DRB1*0353 represent new Ovar-DRB1 β1 expressed alleles. Phylogenetic analysis of the 15 Ovar-DRB1 β1 cDNA sequences revealed that DRB1*0206 had a strong phylogenetic relationship to DRB1*0203, and DRB1*0353 had a strong phylogenetic relationship to DRB1*0303.

AB  - Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and serotyping were performed for 544 isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, including 502 isolates recovered from contaminated samples from 31,705 retail ready-to-eat (RTE) food products and 42 isolates recovered from human cases of listeriosis. The isolates were from Maryland (294 isolates) and California (250 isolates) and were collected in 2000 and 2001. The isolates were placed into 16 AscI pulsogroups (level of relatedness within each group, ≥66%), 139 AscI pulsotypes (levels of relatedness, ≥25% to 100%), and eight serotypes (serotypes 1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, 3a, 3b, 4b, 4c, and 4d). The most frequently found pulsotypes belonged to either pulsogroup A (150 food isolates plus 4 clinical isolates) or pulsogroup B (104 food isolates plus S clinical isolates). The majority of the 502 food isolates were either serotype 1/2a (298 isolates) or serotype 1/2b (133 isolates), whereas the majority of the 42 clinical isolates were either serotype 1/2a (19 isolates) or serotype 4b (15 isolates). Additionally, 13 clinical isolates displayed pulsotypes also found in food isolates, whereas the remaining 29 clinical isolates displayed 24 unique pulsotypes. These data indicate that most (86%) of the L. monocytogenes subtypes found in the RTE foods sampled belonged to only two serotypes and that 90% of the isolates displayed 73 pulsotypes, with 107 isolates displaying pulsotype 1. These data should help define the distribution and relatedness of isolates found in RTE foods in comparison with isolates that cause listeriosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Inoculation with Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi Alters Roots Colonization and Growth in Nursery Production of Blueberry Plants from Tissue Culture and Cuttings.

AB  - In nursery production, inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi is thought to be most beneficial when colonization occurs as early as possible during plant growth. Unrooted tissue culture plantlets (TC) and hardwood cuttings (HC) of different cultivars of highbush blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) were inoculated with mixed inoculum of three different isolates of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) in a commercial blueberry nursery. Plants were monitored for root colonization by EMF and plant growth to determine if inoculation with EMF influences rooting, subsequent plant growth, or EMF colonization during one (HC) or two (TC) years after inoculation. Tissue culture plants became naturally colonized by EMF, however, the intensity of this natural colonization was low and inoculation with EMF increased colonization for some cultivars, especially in the first few months after inoculation. This suggests that low colonization during nursery production of blueberry may be at least partially a result of low inoculum potential of the grow ing medium. However, we found that the frequency and intensity of colonization of certain cultivars decreased substantially after plants were transplanted and moved to an outside growing area. This decrease in colonization suggests that; (1) the fungi used for inoculation may not be suitable for this cultivar under the specific cultural conditions used in the nursery, (2) changes in cultural conditions from transplanting inhibited further colonization of the fungi that were present in the initial stages of propagation, or (3) there were possible changes in the type of fungi on the root system. Inoculation of TC plants with EMF caused measurable changes in root and aboveground plant morphology and biomass partitioning during the first two growing seasons; however, we found that the responses to inoculation with EMF can vary with cultivar, suggesting that a level of plant-fungus specificity may exist in EMF associations with blueberry plants that influences plant growth. Inoculation of HC with EMF increased colonization frequency and intensity on cuttings under the cultural practices used in the nursery; however, colonization decreased between 3 months and 5 months after sticking suggesting that the specific cultural conditions used during propagation decrease colonization by both natural and inoculated populations of the fungi. Even though colonization decreased during propagation, inoculation reduced the time required for rooting and caused measurable changes in root biomass of rooted cuttings. This increased root biomass may lead to increased quality and performance of rooted cuttings after transplanting. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) form symbiotic relationships with roots of blueberry plants providing increased access to nutrients from fertilizers and soil. A survey of commercial nursery plants produced from tissue culture and cuttings was conducted to determine when or if EMF colonize blueberry plants under nursery cultural methods. Although there were cultivar-specific differences, in general, colonization frequency (the percentage of plants colonized) and intensity (the percentage of root length with EMF) increased during the first growing cycle for both plants produced from tissue culture or cuttings. For most cultivars, colonization frequency and intensity increased over the first winter, but decreased after transplanting into either containers or bareroot production beds. Colonization at all phases of production was generally low, however, plants transplanted into bareroot production beds generally had higher colonization than plants transplanted into containers. Our results suggest that the colonization of plants in containers and bareroot fields may be limited by environmental and cultural factors and not just the presence or absence of the correct fungi. Natural EMF colonization of blueberry plants in nurseries may be limited by nursery cultural conditions, low availability of EMF propagules, and aspects of plant-fungus specificity.

AB  - Abstract: Inclusive jet cross sections in photoproduction for events containing a meson have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of . The events were required to have a virtuality of the incoming photon, , of less than 1 GeV2, and a photon–proton centre-of-mass energy in the range . The measurements are compared with next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD calculations. Good agreement is found with the NLO calculations over most of the measured kinematic region. Requiring a second jet in the event allowed a more detailed comparison with QCD calculations. The measured dijet cross sections are also compared to Monte Carlo (MC) models which incorporate leading-order matrix elements followed by parton showers and hadronisation. The NLO QCD predictions are in general agreement with the data although differences have been isolated to regions where contributions from higher orders are expected to be significant. The MC models give a better description than the NLO predictions of the shape of the measured cross sections. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Four polynomial equations for interpolating the nine-point cube are compared. All of the equations estimate first-, second- and third-order coefficients. Fidelity to monotonic test surfaces, as measured by sums-of-squares of deviations, depends on the distribution of the center point datum among the coefficients. Linear-term coefficients rendered by the equations are often more accurate than the like coefficients rendered by main-effects formulas. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: The effects of three N 6-substituted aminopurine derivatives containing either allenic or acetylenic side-chains on in vitro and in vivo cytokinin dehydrogenase (CKX; EC 1.5.99.12) activities were determined. At concentrations ⩽100μM, the acetylenic derivative (HA-2) had no effect on in vitro CKX activity. In contrast, the two allenic derivatives (HA-1, HA-8) inhibited in vitro CKX activity in a dose-dependent manner with 50% inhibition occurring at HA-1 and HA-8 concentrations of 9.0 and 0.4μM (respectively). HA-8 inhibited the degradation of both the free bases and ribosides of N 6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine and zeatin. Pretreatment with HA-8 inhibited CKX activity in both a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In contrast to the reversible phenylurea inhibitor N-(chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea, inhibition of CKX activity by HA-8 was not relieved by 24h of dialysis. Both HA-1 and HA-8 (but not HA-2) inhibited the metabolism of exogenous [3H]-N 6-(2-isopentenyl)adenosine in excised aseptic potato (Solanum tuberosum) leaves. These results demonstrate that HA-8 is a mechanism-based irreversible (suicide) inhibitor of CKX and indicate that it may be useful in determining the role of CKX in cytokinin homeostasis in planta.

AB  - Abstract: A plant viral vector engineered from an in vivo infectious clone of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) was used to express the nucleocapsid proteins (NPs) of tospoviruses in planta. The open reading frames (ORFs) of NPs of different serogroups of tospoviruses, including Tomato spotted wilt virus, Impatiens necrotic spot virus, Watermelon silver mottle virus, Peanut bud necrosis virus, and Watermelon bud necrosis virus (WBNV), were in frame inserted in between the P1 and HC-Pro genes of the ZYMV vector. Six histidine residues and an NIa protease cleavage site were added at the C-terminal region of the inserts to facilitate purification and process of free form of the expressed NPs, respectively. Approximately 1.2–2.5mg/NPs 100g tissues were purified from leaf extracts of zucchini squash. The expressed WBNV NP was used as an immunogen for the production of highly specific polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies. The procedure provides a convenient and fast way for production of large quantities of pure NPs of tospoviruses in planta. The system also has a potential for production of any proteins of interest in cucurbits. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The relevance of chemical site factors for the abundance of epiphytic lichens was studied in Picea engelmannii-Abies lasiocarpa forests of the Salish Mountains, northwestern Montana, USA. The Salish Mountains are an area with relatively low atmospheric pollutant load and low precipitation. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) suggests that cover of several lichen species was limited by high Mn concentrations of bark or by high ratios of Mn to Ca, Mg and Fe. Mn in the bark is known primarily to derive from the soil. An effect of Mn concentration or Mn/Ca and Mn/Mg ratios was not found on A. lasiocarpa. This suggests that A. lasiocarpa deposits Mn in the bark in a physiologically inactive form as already known from A. balsamea. Precipitation chemistry was apparently less relevant for epiphytic lichen distribution in the Salish Mountains, as no correlations between element concentrations in stemflow and cover values were found and as amounts of stemflow were small. However, precipitation in the study year was less than average. The lacking significance of precipitation chemistry is probably the cause why epiphytic lichen vegetation differed less between living and dead trees in the Salish Mountains than in highly polluted coniferous forests studied by our group in Germany; in Germany, the difference between living and dead trees was attributed to reduced interception of pollutants from the atmosphere by trees with reduced crown surface. The result of the present study that small-scale variation of epiphytic lichen abundance is only partly explainable by chemical parameters gives rise to the assumption that microclimate (e.g., moisture), which has not been systematically explored, could be an important site factor for epiphytic lichens in the Salish Mountains. Furthermore, tree age was identified by CCA as a relevant site factor for lichens on P. engelmannii. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop an instrumentation system to measure the surface temperature of hot dogs during VSV processes. Results indicated that the pressure in the treatment chamber responded immediately and accurately to the events of VSV. The surface temperature history, however, followed an exponential trend after saturated steam was flushed into the treatment chamber. A mathematical model was developed to simulate the surface temperature history during steam pasteurization processes. According to the model, a 5-log reduction in L. innocua inoculated onto the surface of hot dogs could be achieved using 110°C steam for 0.1s, provided that the surface was perfectly smooth and bacteria were all distributed on the surface. However, bacteria still survived the VSV treatment even when higher temperatures were used. The incomplete destruction of bacteria on hot dog surfaces using current VSV processes may be due to the fact that the pores are filled with water and heat must penetrate into a certain depth under the surface of hot dogs in order to eliminate L. monocytogenes. This study suggested using a single long steam treatment cycle, instead of multiple short VSV cycles, for a complete destruction of bacteria hidden beneath the surface of ready-to-eat solid foods.

AB  - Source factors with regard to phosphorus (P) loss in runoff waters are often soil test P and P content of fertilisers applied. More recently, water extractable P (WEP) fractions in fertilisers and animal manure have been the focus of many field and plot-scale studies. This study evaluated changes in the WEP content of six poultry litters by varying the extraction ratio from 1:10 (20g fresh poultry litter to 200ml water) to 1:200 (1g fresh poultry litter to 200ml water), and also the relation between WEP content determined at these different ratios and P concentrations in runoff water collected during rainfall simulations. Six different poultry litters were surface-applied at equivalent total P (TP) application rates (∼67kg [TP]ha−1) to 1·52 by 6·10m grass plots on a 5% slope which received artificial rainfall at 5cmh−1 until 30min of continuous runoff was observed. Four plots were used per treatment including four control plots (no poultry litter application). Water-extractable P content of the various poultry litters increased with a decrease in the amount of poultry litter used in the extraction, i.e. from an extraction ratio of 1:10 to 1:200. However, these results also suggest that the 1:10 extraction ratio may extract different fractions of WEP compared to the 1:200 extraction ratio, and that some variability in dry weight extraction ratios existed when using fresh poultry litter. Water-extractable P application rates were positively correlated to P concentrations in runoff waters from the small plots. This study reaffirmed the importance of WEP content of poultry litter when determining the potential for P loss in surface runoff but demonstrated differences in the relation between runoff soluble reactive P (SRP) concentrations and WEP application rates related to the runoff to rainfall ratio.

AB  - A temperature-sensitive (TS) plasmid was generated from the endogenous streptomycin resistance plasmid of Mannheimia hemolytica and used to engineer in-frame aroA deletion mutants of Mannheimia hemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Haemophilus somnus. TS replacement plasmids carrying in-frame aroA deletions were constructed for each target species and introduced into host cells by electroporation. After recovery in broth, cells were spread onto plates containing antibiotic and incubated at 30°C, the permissive temperature for autonomous plasmid replication. Transfer of transformants to selective plates cultured at a nonpermissive temperature for plasmid replication selected for single-crossover mutants consisting of replacement plasmids that had integrated into host chromosomes by homologous recombination. Transfer of the single-crossover mutants back to a permissive temperature without antibiotic selection drove plasmid resolution, and, depending on where plasmid excision occurred, either deletion mutants or wild-type cells were generated. The system used here represents a broadly applicable means for generating unmarked mutants of Pasteurellaceae species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Pectins of low and high degrees of esterification, as well as pectin derivatives carrying primary amines, were investigate for gel forming ability with mucosal tissues. The combination of scanning electronic microscopy and small deformation dynamic mechanical studies revealed that pectins with higher net electrical charges are more bioadhesive than the less charged ones. Both the negatively charged pectin formulation, P-25, and the positively charged formulation, P-N, were able to synergize with the mucus to produce rheologically strengthened gels. The highly esterified pectin, P-94, also synergized with the mucosal glycoproteins to form a gel structure via coil entanglements. The ex vivo studies further confirmed the microstructures of mucus gel networks with adsorbed pectins. When incubated with porcine intestinal mucus membrane, P-94 gels were found generally bound to the lumen area, P-25 gels were able to penetrate deeply near the wall area, P-N gels interacted with mucins via electrostatic bonding and dispersed into the whole area from the lumen to the wall. Hence, both P-N and P-94, by enhancing the protective barrier properties of mucus systems, may be useful alternatives for the treatment of mucus related irritation and infection. In drug-delivery systems, P-N and P-25 would deliver incorporated drugs mainly by pectin dissolution, while a diffusion mechanism would release drugs from P-94 gels. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The estimation of vegetation water content (VWC) over a crop-growing period was performed using the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands of the Terra-MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (Terra-MODIS). The study was conducted in Iowa, USA as part of the Soil Moisture Experiments 2002 (SMEX02). Due to the moderate resolution of MODIS data, the removal of mixed pixels was important in order to meet accuracy estimation requirements of potential applications. MODIS-derived reflectance for the NIR and SWIR bands over corn and soybeans fields was validated using atmospherically corrected Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)/Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) data. All possible combinations of the 7 MODIS bands were used to construct VIs. The performance of each combination was evaluated by computing their correlations with corn VWC. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) were found to be the best candidates. In this study, it was observed that the MODIS SWIR-based VI for corn saturated at a later date than NDVI. A similar late saturation was observed for soybeans with a lag of about 10 days. Linear relationships between the SWIR-based VI and VWC were developed using the MODIS data and ground measured VWC. MODIS-derived Normalized Difference Water Indices (NDWI) using SWIR (1640 nm) or SWIR (2130 nm), namely NDWI1640 or NDWI2130, all showed potential in estimating VWC. Additional testing of this approach could result in a robust technique for estimating VWC for specific crops. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A hydrogen economy, the long-term goal of many nations, can potentially confer energy security, along with environmental and economic benefits. However, the transition from a conventional petroleum-based energy system to a hydrogen economy involves many uncertainties, such as the development of efficient fuel-cell technologies, problems in hydrogen production and its distribution infrastructure, and the response of petroleum markets. This study uses the US MARKAL model to simulate the impacts of hydrogen technologies on the US energy system and to identify potential impediments to a successful transition. Preliminary findings highlight possible market barriers facing the hydrogen economy, as well as opportunities in new R&D and product markets for bioproducts. Quantitative analysis also offers insights on policy options for promoting hydrogen technologies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Summary: The early stages of dieting to lose weight have been associated with neuro-psychological impairments. Previous work has not elucidated whether these impairments are a function solely of unsupported or supported dieting. Raised cortico-steroid levels have been implicated as a possible causal mechanism. Healthy, overweight, pre-menopausal women were randomised to one of three conditions in which they dieted either as part of a commercially available weight loss group, dieted without any group support or acted as non-dieting controls for 8 weeks. Testing occurred at baseline and at 1, 4 and 8 weeks post baseline. During each session, participants completed measures of simple reaction time, motor speed, vigilance, immediate verbal recall, visuo-spatial processing and (at Week 1 only) executive function. Cortisol levels were gathered at the beginning and 30min into each test session, via saliva samples. Also, food intake was self-recorded prior to each session and fasting body weight and percentage body fat were measured at each session. Participants in the unsupported diet condition displayed poorer vigilance performance (p=0.001) and impaired executive planning function (p=0.013) (along with a marginally significant trend for poorer visual recall (p=0.089)) after 1 week of dieting. No such impairments were observed in the other two groups. In addition, the unsupported dieters experienced a significant rise in salivary cortisol levels after 1 week of dieting (p&#60;0.001). Both dieting groups lost roughly the same amount of body mass (p=0.011) over the course of the 8 weeks of dieting, although only the unsupported dieters experienced a significant drop in percentage body fat over the course of dieting (p=0.016). The precise causal nature of the relationship between stress, cortisol, unsupported dieting and cognitive function is, however, uncertain and should be the focus of further research.

AB  - Abstract: In uniform soils that are susceptible to unstable preferential flow, the water saturation exhibits a nonmonotonic profile upon continuous infiltration. This overshoot cannot be described by the conventional Richards equation. Here, solutions to the infiltrations using a popular nonequilibrium extension to the Richards equation are obtained using the traveling wave nature of the saturation profile. Quantitative comparisons are made to recent measurements of saturation overshoot. The nonequilibrium solutions can be made to fit the flux range of the overshoot, but the fit to the tip saturations is fair to poor at best. Also, small changes in porous media size and roughness require large changes in the magnitude of the nonequilibrium term to match the flux range. The results suggest that the nonequilibrium capillary pressure does not include the correct physics that controls the overshoot. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The capture of carbon dioxide from simulated flue gas streams has been achieved by using immobilized and aminated-SBA-15 solid sorbents. SBA-15, a mesoporous silica material with a uniform pore size of 21 nm and a surface area of 200∼230 m2/g. The solid sorbents prepared in this study exhibit similar or improved capacities relative to those already used to control CO2 concentrations in submarine and spacecraft applications. The results suggest that immobilized secondary amines have a stronger affinity for the capture of carbon dioxide from simulated flue gas streams than primary amines. The performance of these immobilized and aminated-SBA-15 solid sorbents decreased with regeneration. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis practitioners have long waited for a fully automated system. This article presents an integrated platform that is capable of complete automation from sample introduction to spots detection. The strip gel for the first dimensional separation is fixed on the edge of a discrete planar stage before separation. A pair of platinum pin electrodes for isoelectric focusing (IEF) makes contact from underneath the stage. IEF is performed directly after rehydration and protein loading. After the first dimensional separation, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) equilibration is done on the same stage without moving the gel. The IEF stage is then moved horizontally to couple with a precast second dimensional gel. The &#60;0.5mm gap between the two gels is filled with poly (ethylene oxide) solution. After SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrohporesis separation, a charge-coupled device camera is used to detect spots via protein native fluorescence excited by a Hg (Xe) lamp with the gel inside the running cell. Potential for full automation is demonstrated with 0.5μg of Escherichia coli proteins on this miniaturized platform. More than 240 spots are detected in a total experiment time of &#60;2.5h.

AB  - Abstract: Reported measurements of the dielectric properties or permittivities over broad frequency ranges for some agricultural materials are cited, and graphical data from the cited literature are presented. They include 50-kHz to 12-GHz frequency-domain permittivity data for adult rice weevils and hard red winter wheat, time-domain reflectometry data for the same insects from 30MHz to 1GHz, frequency-domain data from 200MHz to 20GHz for adults of the lesser grain borer, 200-MHz to 20-GHz data for apple juice and fresh peaches, and 10-MHz to 1.8-GHz data, as a function of temperature, for whey protein gel and navel orange tissue. Interpretation of the data showed that selective dielectric heating of rice weevils in wheat could be expected between 10 and 100MHz but not at microwave frequencies. For fresh fruit and vegetable tissues, temperature dependence of the dielectric constant was minimal at some frequency in the 20–120MHz range with a positive temperature coefficient below that frequency and a negative temperature coefficient at higher frequencies. Between 10 and 300MHz, the loss factor can be very well expressed as a linear function of the log of frequency and temperature. With further study dielectric spectroscopy may be useful in detecting product quality factors. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Macrophages are major effectors against Salmonella infection, and also transport bacteria between host tissues and provide a protected site for intracellular bacterial replication. We hypothesized that differences in chicken macrophage responses to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) and serovar Typhimurium (ST) played a role in preferential infection of eggs by SE compared with ST. To test this hypothesis, we determined bacterial phagocytosis and intracellular viability and macrophage nitric oxide (NO) production following in vitro infection with SE or ST in the presence or absence of interferon-γ (IFN-γ). The effects of bacterial components, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), outer membrane proteins (OMP) and flagella, on NO production were also assessed. Our results showed: (1) in the presence or absence of IFN-γ, the percentage macrophages phagocytizing SE and ST was similar; (2) the number of intracellular viable SE was significantly reduced compared with ST in the presence or absence of IFN-γ; (3) increased macrophage necrosis was seen in the presence of IFN-γ and ST; (4) Salmonella infection acted synergistically with IFN-γ in induction of nitric oxide production; and (5) in the absence of IFN-γ, macrophages produced significantly greater NO following treatment with SE outer membrane protein or flagella compared with ST OMP or flagella, while in the presence of IFN-γ significantly less NO was produced following treatment with SE-LPS compared with ST-LPS. These results suggest that differential responses of chicken macrophages to SE versus ST may result in increased macrophage death with ST, which could result in an increased inflammatory response as compared to SE.

AB  - Abstract: A non-isotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism (‘cold’ SSCP) technique has been assessed for the analysis of sequence variability in the expansion segment 5 (ES5) of domain IV and the D3 domain of nuclear ribosomal DNA within and/or among isolates and individual muscle (first-stage) larvae representing all currently recognized species/genotypes of Trichinella. Data are consistent with the ability of cold SSCP to identify intra-specific as well as inter-specific variability among Trichinella genotypes. The cold SSCP approach should be applicable to a range of other genetic markers for comparative studies of Trichinella populations globally. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Avian paramyxovirus type 1, commonly referred to as Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is a serious pathogen of significant economic importance to the industry. To investigate the role of the fusion (F), hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), and (P) phosphoprotein gene sequences in virulence, six strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) representing all pathotypes and seven recombinant strains created by reverse genetics were inoculated into 9-day-old chicken embryos. Tissues and chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) were harvested at 24-hour intervals post-inoculation. Riboprobe in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry highlighted distinct tissue tropisms among the viruses. Presence of F and/or HN from virulent viruses inserted into lentogenic backbones caused dissemination of virus in a manner similar to wild type virulent viruses. Disruption of P gene decreased dissemination of velogeinic infectious clones. It is concluded that each of these genes contributes to pathogenicity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The effects of diet processing methods on diets containing increasing levels of a combination of corn distiller's dried grain with solubles (CDDGS) and corn gluten meal (CGM) to replace fish meal in diets of rainbow trout were investigated. A two by four factorial treatment arrangement was used with two types of diet processing methods (cold-pelleted and extruded) and four levels of corn products replacing fish meal protein (0, 25, 50, or 75%). There was an effect of processing method and level of corn products on weight gain and feed conversion ratio, and an interaction of those effects. Extrusion of diets containing the corn products did not improve fish growth compared to fish fed the cold-pelleted feed (extrusion of the wheat-containing diet did improve weight gain and feed conversion). There were interactions between process type and level of corn products on protein retention efficiency, and apparent digestibility coefficients for both dry matter and energy. The presence of indigestible carbohydrate in the CDDGS limited replacement of fish meal with the corn products to 18% of the protein. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Peroxiredoxin (PRX) is a crucial antioxidant protein that protects against endogenously produced peroxides in prokaryotes to eukaryotes. To date, 6 different isoforms have been identified in mammals. In this study, we describe the first members of the PRX protein family to be characterized in Chicken. Through bioinformatics analysis, we observed that at least 4 different classes of PRX protein have been evolutionarily conserved in chickens. Furthermore, in vitro functional assays of the candidate chicken PRX proteins demonstrated that they had levels of antioxidant activity similar to those of the mammalian enzymes. The expression patterns of the PRX transcript in several chicken tissues were not tissue specific, suggesting that they might play an essential role as a housekeeping gene in all tissues to protect against oxidative damage. In conclusion, the sequences of the putative members of this functional gene family in chickens could be effectively retrieved in silico through bioinformatics analysis, and the functionality of their gene products evaluated by in vitro comparative assay.

AB  - Vitamin A deficiency is a major global public health problem. Among the variety of techniques that are available for assessing human vitamin A status, evaluating the provitamin A nutritional values of foodstuffs and estimating human vitamin A requirements, isotope dilution provides the most accurate estimates. Although the relative expense of isotope dilution restricts its applications, it has an important function as the standard of reference for other techniques. Mathematical modelling plays an indispensable role in the interpretation of isotope dilution data. This review summarises recent applications of stable isotope methodology to determine human vitamin A status, estimate human vitamin A requirements, and calculate the bioconversion and bioefficacy of food carotenoids.

AB  - Abstract: New technology is reported here for the synthesis of an effective weak acid–cation exchanger for ion chromatography. Monodisperse macroporous poly(ethylvinylbenzene-co-divinylbezene) (PEVB–DVB) beads of 5μm diameter were prepared by a two-step swelling and polymerization method. Then carboxyl groups were introduced by polymerization of maleic anhydride with unreacted vinyl groups on the resin beads, followed by hydrolysis of the maleic anhydride groups. A column packed with the carboxylate beads was used to separate alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in a single isocratic run. Separations were found to be better than those with similar resin particles that are simply coated with maleic acid. The columns containing the new particles were 100% compatible with solvents commonly used for HPLC. Additionally, the prepared column was stable and could be used for a long time in a wide range of pH. The column gave good resolution, low detection limits and good repeatability for the separation of common cations. Satisfactory results were also obtained for separations of organic amines and of common cations in rainwater. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Methods for separation of ions by ion-exchange, ion-pair, and zwitterion ion chromatography share at least one common thread – the induced formation of a cation–anion pair in the stationary phase. Selectivity can be defined as the relative ability of sample ions to form such a pair. Examples are given in anion-exchange chromatography to show the effect of variations in the geometry, bulkiness and polarity of the resin cation on selectivity. The type of resin matrix, the hydrophobic nature of the resin surface and the degree of solvation also affect chromatographic behavior. The selectivity series observed in ion chromatography seems to be best explained by the interplay of two components: electrostatic attraction (ES) and the enforced-pairing (EP) that is brought about by hydrophobic attraction and by water-enforced ion pairing. Selectivity in ion-pair chromatography (IPC) and in zwitterion ion chromatography (ZIC) is affected by both the mobile phase cation and anion. This leads to elution orders for anions that are different from conventional ion-exchange chromatography (IC) of anions where cations are excluded from the stationary phase and have little effect on a separation. The elution order of anions in ZIC is similar to that in IC except for small anions of 2− charge, which are retained more weakly in ZIC. A unique advantage of ZIC is that sample ions can be eluted as ion pairs with pure water as the eluent and a conductivity detector. The mechanism for separation of anions on a zwitterionic stationary phase has been a subject for considerable debate. The available facts point strongly to a partitioning mechanism or a mixed mechanism in which partitioning is dominant with a weaker ion-exchange component. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A turbulent gas/solids model, based on the work of Simonin [1] [Simonin, O., 1996. Continuum modeling of dispersed two-phase flows, in Combustion and Turbulence in Two-Phase Flows, Von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics Lecture Series 1996-2], has been recently implemented in the MFIX computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code. This theory includes the effects of turbulence in the gas phase as well as inter-particle collisions. The extension of this theory [2] [Balzer, G., Simonin, O., Boelle, A., Lavieville, J., 1996. A unifying modelling approach for the numerical prediction of dilute and dense gas-solid two phase flow, CFB5, 5th Int. Conf. on Circulating Fluidized Beds, Beijing, China] to dense gas/solids systems was made possible by including the kinetic theory of granular material to describe the solids stresses. The turbulence model and boundary conditions were evaluated by simulating the gas/solids flow experiments of Jones [3] [N.E. Jones, An experimental investigation of particle size distribution effect in dilute phase gas–solid flow, Ph.D. thesis, Purdue University (2001)]. Their experimental results included velocity and turbulence measurements for fully developed flows for a range of particle loading from very dilute to relatively dense. Our numerical calculations were conducted by imposing periodic boundary conditions as well as in a long pipe with different length-to-diameter ratios to achieve a fully developed condition. We propose modifications to the single-phase wall functions, to include the effect of the particulate phase. However, these modifications had only a minor effect on the predictions of gas turbulent kinetic energy due to the dilute nature of the flow considered in this study. The turbulent gas/solids flow model based on the work of Simonin [1] [Simonin, O., 1996. Continuum modeling of dispersed two-phase flows, in Combustion and Turbulence in Two-Phase Flows, Von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics Lecture Series 1996-2] is able to predict reasonably well dilute gas/solids flows with appropriate boundary conditions (BC). Four different types of boundary conditions were investigated to assess their sensitivity. The experimental data fall between the large-friction/no-sliding and small-friction/all-sliding limits of Jenkins and Louge [4] [J.T. Jenkins, M.Y. Louge, On the flux of fluctuating energy in a collisional grain flow at a flat frictional wall, Phys. Fluids 9 (10), (1997) 2835–2840] BC. However, the physical behavior of the particle–wall interactions is close to the small-friction/all-sliding limit of Jenkins and Louge BC or the Johnson and Jackson [5] [P.C. Johnson, R. Jackson, Frictional-collisional constitutive relations for granular materials, with application to plane shearing. J. Fluid Mech. 176 (1987) 67–93]BC with a small specularity coefficient or simply the free-slip BC. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A chymotrypsin-like proteinase was isolated from the posterior midgut of larvae of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme, TmC1, was purified to homogeneity as determined by SDS-PAGE and postelectrophoretic activity detection. TmC1 had a molecular mass of 23.0 kDa, pI of 8.4, a pH optimum of 9.5, and the optimal temperature for activity was 51 °C. The proteinase displayed high stability at temperatures below 43 °C and in the pH range 6.5–11.2, which is inclusive of the pH of the posterior and middle midgut. The enzyme hydrolyzed long chymotrypsin peptide substrates SucAAPFpNA, SucAAPLpNA and GlpAALpNA and did not hydrolyze short chymotrypsin substrates. Kinetic parameters of the enzymatic reaction demonstrated that the best substrate was SucAAPFpNA, with k cat app 36.5 s–1 and K m 1.59 mM. However, the enzyme had a lower K m for SucAAPLpNA, 0.5 mM. Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) was an effective inhibitor of TmC1, and the proteinase was not inhibited by either tosyl-l-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) or N α-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK). However, the activity of TmC1 was reduced with sulfhydryl reagents. Several plant and insect proteinaceous proteinase inhibitors were active against the purified enzyme, the most effective being Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI). The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme was IISGSAASKGQFPWQ, which was up to 67% similar to other insect chymotrypsin-like proteinases and 47% similar to mammalian chymotrypsin A. The amino acid composition of TmC1 differed significantly from previously isolated T. molitor enzymes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Pulsed mercury spallation targets like that used in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) feature a target vessel that strains with each burst of protons. A robust simulation method for predicting the strain response of the target vessel is needed to evaluate the target’s fatigue life. The interaction of pressure waves in the mercury with the vessel is a complex problem made more difficult by cavitation. The importance of benchmarking simulations had been recognized by SNS and its R&D program included experiments for measuring strains in various mercury-filled targets responding to single-beam pulses. Recent progress with simulations is reported. Results for two experimental targets are presented and compared to their test data, and the development of simulation parameters improved predictions is discussed. Overall the recent simulations do a fairly good job of predicting strain magnitude and dynamic response. In some target locations the predictions match data quite well, but this quality is not universally achieved. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Intense proton beam-induced heating of the spallation neutron source mercury target will cause pressure spikes that lead to the formation of cavitation bubbles in the mercury. Erosion of the mercury container walls caused by violent collapse of bubbles could potentially limit its service lifetime. In-beam tests for a limited number of pulses (&#60;1000 pulses for each test target) have demonstrated that pitting damage appears to be especially sensitive to beam intensity, surface treatment, and gas injection. Using results of off-line pressure pulse tests conducted for a million cycles or more to scale the results from limited in-beam tests, it is concluded that the mercury target will last at least two weeks at a time-averaged proton beam power level of 1MW. However, because of remaining uncertainties, it is concluded that further research and development and target design efforts are needed to verify these conclusions and extend the target to higher operating powers and longer lifetimes.

AB  - Abstract: Agriculture in the southeastern USA can be highly productive (i.e., high photosynthetic fixation of atmospheric CO2) due to warm-moist climatic conditions. However, its impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation potential have not been thoroughly characterized. This paper is a review and synthesis of literature pertaining to soil organic C (SOC) sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities in the southeastern USA. Conservation tillage is an effective strategy to regain some of the SOC lost following decades, and in some areas centuries, of intensive soil tillage and erosion. With conventional tillage (CT) as a baseline, SOC sequestration with no tillage (NT) was 0.42±0.46Mgha−1 year−1 (10±5 years). Combining cover cropping with NT enhanced SOC sequestration (0.53±0.45Mgha−1 year−1) compared with NT and no cover cropping (0.28±0.44Mgha−1 year−1). By increasing cropping system complexity, SOC could be increased by 0.22Mgha−1 year−1, irrespective of tillage management. Taking into account an average C cost of producing and transporting N fertilizer, SOC sequestration could be optimized at 0.24Mgha−1 year−1 with application of 107kgNha−1 year−1 on N-responsive crops, irrespective of tillage management. In longer-term studies (5–21 years), poultry litter application led to SOC sequestration of 0.72±0.67Mgha−1 year−1 (17±15% of C applied). Land that was previously cropped and converted to forages sequestered SOC at a rate of 1.03±0.90Mgha−1 year−1 (15±17 years). Limited data suggest animal grazing increases SOC sequestration on upland pastures. By expanding research on SOC sequestration into more diverse pasture and manure application systems and gathering much needed data on methane and nitrous oxide fluxes under almost any agricultural operation in the region, a more complete analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and potential mitigation from agricultural management systems would be possible. This information will be necessary for developing appropriate technological and political solutions to increase agricultural sustainability and combat environmental degradation in the southeastern USA.

AB  - The projected rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration is expected to increase growth and yield of many agricultural crops. The magnitude of this stimulus will partly depend on interactions with other components of the atmosphere such as tropospheric O3. Elevated CO2 concentrations often lessen the deleterious effects of O3, but the mechanisms responsible for this response have received little direct examination. Previous studies have indicated that protection against O3 injury by elevated CO2 can be attributed to reduced O3 uptake, while other studies suggest that CO2 effects on anti-oxidant metabolism might also be involved. The aim of this experiment was to test further the roles of O3 flux and antioxidant metabolism in the suppression of O3 injury by elevated CO2. In a two-year experiment, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was exposed from emergence to maturity to charcoal-filtered air or charcoal-filtered air plus a range of O3 concentrations in combination with ambient or approximately twice-ambient CO2 concentrations in open-top field chambers. Experimental manipulation of O3 concentrations and estimates of plant O3 uptake indicated that equivalent O3 fluxes that suppressed net photosynthesis, growth, and yield at ambient concentrations of CO2 were generally much less detrimental to plants treated concurrently with elevated CO2. These responses appeared unrelated to treatment effects on superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and peroxidase activities and glutathione concentration. Total ascorbic acid concentration increased by 28–72% in lower canopy leaves in response to elevated CO2 and O3 but not in upper canopy leaves. Increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 will likely ameliorate O3 damage to many crops due to reduced O3 uptake, increased carbon assimilation, and possibly as yet undetermined additional factors. The results of this study further suggest that elevated CO2 may increase the threshold O3 flux for biomass and yield loss in soybean. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: Full-length coding sequences of the β-tubulin gene (tubA) were PCR-amplified and sequenced from 42 Phaeosphaeria isolates, including 16 P. nodorum and 23 P. avenaria species from cereals, two Polish isolates from rye (Secale cereale L.), and one isolate from dallis grass (Paspalum dilatatum Poir). A tubA gene of size 1556bp was identified in wheat- and barley-biotype P. nodorum (PN-w and PN-b), P. avenaria f. sp. avenaria (Paa), homothallic P. avenaria f. sp. triticea (P.a.t.) (Pat1) and the P.a.t. isolate (Pat3) from the State of Washington. The tubA gene length polymorphisms were detected in two P.a.t. isolates (Pat2) from foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum L.), one from dallis grass and two Polish isolates from rye. These size differences were due to the variation of intron lengths among these three Phaeosphaeria species. All Phaeosphaeria isolates have identical 1344bp exons that can be translated into a 447 amino acid β-tubulin. Like glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the β-tubulin amino acid sequence was identical in all Phaeosphaeria species used in this study, with the exception of the two Pat2 isolates. Six amino acid differences were evident in the β-tubulin of these Pat2 isolates. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Water is one of the most extensively studied molecules, owing to its crucial role in biological processes. The water molecule is both highly polar and highly polarizable. Properties of water computed from molecular simulations are therefore critically dependent on both the intermolecular potential and the method for computing long-range electrostatic corrections. In this paper, the effects of the potential and the long-range electrostatic corrections are quantified for liquid water from 260 to 400?K. Simulations were carried out for a system of 256 molecules in the NVT ensemble. Thermodynamic, structural, dynamical, hydrogen bonding and dielectric properties have been computed for the flexible SPC and rigid SPC, SPC/E, TIP4P, TIP4P-Ew and TIP4P-FQ potentials, using the Lekner, Ewald and reaction field techniques to handle long-range electrostatics. The Lekner method gave the best overall agreement with experimental data, while the reaction field approach produced poorer results. Some measurable differences were found between the Lekner and Ewald techniques. For dielectric properties, the performance of the TIP4P-FQ model was superior relative to other potentials. For 256 molecules, the computational speeds of the Ewald and reaction field methods were found to be 2.5 to 3 times and 3.5 to 5 times faster than the Lekner technique, respectively.

AB  - Abstract: It is widely believed that third-order coefficients cannot be estimated from eight or nine data in cubical array. Equations that are exact on first, second, and third powers of trilinear data can be used for the purpose. The estimates are compared to the values obtained by Taylor expansions of typical generating functions. First-order coefficients are obtained from higher-order terms by the method of least squares. On monotonic data, they are often closer to the true values than main-effect approximations. The accuracy of the coefficients may be sufficient to interest experimentalists. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: There has been extensive research of the anterior pituitary gland of livestock and poultry due to the economic (agricultural) importance of physiological processes controlled by it including reproduction, growth, lactation and stress. Moreover, farm animals can be biomedical models or useful in evolutionary/ecological research. There are for multiple sites of control of the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones. These include the potential for independent control of proliferation, differentiation, de-differentiation and/or inter-conversion cell death, expression and translation, post-translational modification (potentially generating multiple isoforms with potentially different biological activities), release with or without a specific binding protein and intra-cellular catabolism (proteolysis) of pituitary hormones. Multiple hypothalamic hypophysiotropic peptides (which may also be produced peripherally, e.g. ghrelin) influence the secretion of the anterior pituitary hormones. There is also feedback for hormones from the target endocrine glands. These control mechanisms show broadly a consistency across species and life stages; however, there are some marked differences. Examples from growth hormone, prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone will be considered. In addition, attention will be focused on areas that have been neglected including the role of stellate cells, multiple sub-types of the major adenohypophyseal cells, functional zonation within the anterior pituitary and the role of multiple secretagogues for single hormones.

AB  - Abstract: The Yucca Mountain Drift Scale Test (DST) is a multiyear, large-scale underground heating test designed to study coupled thermal–hydrological–mechanical–chemical behavior in unsaturated fractured and welded tuff. As part of the international cooperative code-comparison project DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments, four research teams used four different numerical models to simulate and predict coupled thermal–hydrological–mechanical (THM) processes at the DST. The simulated processes included heat transfer, liquid and vapor water movements, rock-mass stress and displacement, and stress-induced changes in fracture permeability. Model predictions were evaluated by comparison to measurements of temperature, water saturation, displacement, and air permeability. The generally good agreement between simulated and measured THM data shows that adopted continuum model approaches are adequate for simulating relevant coupled THM processes at the DST. Moreover, thermal-mechanically induced rock-mass deformations were reasonably well predicted using elastic models, although some individual displacements appeared to be better captured using an elasto-plastic model. It is concluded that fracture closure/opening caused by change in normal stress across fractures is the dominant mechanism for thermal-stress-induced changes in intrinsic fracture permeability at the DST, whereas fracture shear dilation appears to be less significant. This indicates that such changes in intrinsic permeability at the DST, which are within one order of magnitude, are likely to be mostly reversible. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of fowl cholera. The organism can occur as a commensally in the naso-pharyngeal region of apparently healthy animals and it can be a primary or secondary pathogen in the disease process of birds. The complete genome of an avian strain of P. multocida has been sequenced and was shown to possess two filamentous hemagglutinin genes designated fhaB1 and fhaB2. Filamentous hemagglutinin transposon mutants of a bovine strain of P. multocida are attenuated in mice. Here, we report the construction of an fhaB2 P. multocida mutant in an avian strain P-1059 (A:3). The fhaB2 mutant and the parent were assessed for virulence in turkeys by intranasal and intravenous challenge. Inactivation of fhaB2 resulted in a high degree of attenuation when turkeys were challenged intranasally and to a lesser degree when intravenously administered. Resistance of the fhaB2 mutant and parent strain to killing by serum complement was similar. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - To facilitate the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for partial resistance to oat crown rust, Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae Eriks., a genetic map was generated in a population of 158 F6-derived oat recombinant inbred lines from a cross of a partial resistance line MN841801-1 by a susceptible cultivar selection ‘Noble-2’. The map, developed using 230 marker loci, mostly restriction fragment length polymorphism and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers, spanned 1,509 cM (Haldane) arranged into 30 linkage groups of 2–18 markers each. Four consistently detected major QTLs for partial rust resistance, Prq1a, Prq1b, Prq2, and Prq7, and three minor QTLs, Prq3, Prq5, and Prq6, were found in tests involving three field and two greenhouse environments. In addition, two major QTLs for flowering time, Ftq1 and Ftq7, and five weaker QTLs, Ftq2, Ftq3, Ftq4, Ftq5, and Ftq6, were revealed. Overlapping of the map segments of Ftq1 and Prq1 and of Ftq7 and Prq7 suggested either linkage between the flowering time QTLs and resistance QTLs or a pleiotropic effect of the Ftq QTLs on rust resistance. Relatively low heritability estimates (0.30) obtained for partial resistance to crown rust in the field indicate a potential value for marker-assisted selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The N- and C-terminal segments of bovine αs1-casein-B (fl-23 and f136-196) were characterized under conditions that promoted or inhibited self-association to determine the relative contributions of each fragment to the interaction of αs1-casein with itself or with other caseins. In earlier studies of fl-23, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data and circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that its conformation was thermostable between 10° and 25°C. In contrast, NMR studies of f136-196 indicated temperature sensitivity between 10 and 60°C, as did near-UV and far-UV CD data, suggesting a molten globule-like structure at higher temperatures. To compare the effects of temperature on conformational attributes of αs1-casein and its terminal peptides, additional CD studies were conducted over a broader temperature range (10 to 70°C). The far-UV CD spectra indicated little temperature sensitivity for αs1-casein, and the N-terminal peptide remained thermostable. During molecular dynamics simulations, the N-terminal peptide conformation did not change significantly, but the conformation of the C-terminal peptide (f136-196) was dramatically altered. These changes are correlated with the thermal instability observed by both CD and NMR in f136-196. Analytical ultracentrifugation studies of the self-association reactions of genetic variants A, B, and C of αs1-casein showed that at 37°C the associative state is primarily dimeric; the amounts of higher order polymers significantly decreased when temperature was increased from 20 to 37°C. In all 3 genetic variants, the C-terminal portion of the whole molecule showed thermal instability with respect to aggregation to higher polymers, confirming the predictions of CD data and molecular dynamics simulations. The temperature dependency of these conformational changes suggests a possible function for αs1-casein in. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A method using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was developed to separate citrulline from glutamic acid, which co-elute when analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Watermelons were analyzed by GC–MS to determine the citrulline content among varieties, types, flesh colors, and tissues. Citrulline content ranged from 3.9 to 28.5mg/g dry weight (dwt) and was similar between seeded and seedless types (16.6 and 20.3mg/g dwt, respectively). Red flesh watermelons had slightly less citrulline than the yellow or orange flesh watermelons (7.4, 28.5 and 14.2mg/g dwt, respectively). Rind contained more citrulline than flesh on a dry weight basis (24.7 and 16.7mg/g dwt, respectively) but a little less on a fresh weight (fwt) basis (1.3 and 1.9mg/g fwt, respectively). These results indicate that watermelon rind, an underutilized agricultural waste, offers a source of natural citrulline. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Soil moisture plays a critical role in many hydrological processes including infiltration, evaporation, and runoff. Satellite-based passive microwave sensors offer an effective way to observe soil moisture conditions over vast areas. There are currently several satellite systems that can detect soil moisture. Calibration, validation, and characterization of data received from these satellite systems are an ongoing process. One approach to these requirements is to collect and compare long-term in situ (field) measurements of soil moisture with remotely sensed data. The in situ measurements for this paper were collected at the Little River Watershed (LRW) Tifton, Georgia and compared to the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission Microwave Imager (TMI) 10.65GHz vertical and horizontial (V and H) sensors and vegetation density Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for the period from 1999 through 2002. The in situ soil moisture probes exist in conjunction with rain gauge stations throughout the sampling region. It was found that the TMI was able to observe soil moisture conditions when vegetation levels were low. However, during several months each year high vegetation levels mask the soil moisture signal from the TMI. When the monthly averaged observation from the TMI, MODIS, and in situ probes were subjected to a multivariable comparison the correlation value increased slightly, improving the accuracy of the TMI—soil moisture correlation. Our results show that the TMI estimate would not result in an adequate monitoring of large land areas but when used in conjunction with other satellite sensors and in situ networks and model output can constitute an effective means of monitoring soil moisture of the land surface.

AB  - Abstract: TiAl with between 0 and 20vol%Ti5Si3 was produced by reactive sintering (700°C for 15min in vacuum) of cold pressed compacts of elemental Ti, Al and Si powder. The results show that adding Si to Ti and Al reduces the swelling associated with reactive sintering of TiAl, as composites containing more than 5vol%Ti5Si3 densified during reactive sintering. However, composites containing more than 10vol%Ti5Si3 did not retain their shape and the TiAl+20vol%Ti5Si3 composite completely melted during the sintering process. A thermodynamic analysis indicated that the simultaneous formation of TiAl and Ti5Si3 increases the adiabatic flame temperature during the reaction between the powders. In fact, the analysis predicted that the maximum temperature of the reaction associated with the formation TiAl+20vol%Ti5Si3 should exceed the melting point of TiAl, and this was observed experimentally. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) revealed that an Al–Si eutectic reaction occurred in mixtures of Ti, Al and Si powders prior to the formation of the TiAl and Ti5Si3 phases. There was no such pre-reaction formation of a eutectic liquid in Ti and Al powder mixtures. The formation of the pre-reaction liquid and the increase in adiabatic flame temperature resulted in the melting that occurred and the enhanced densification (minimization of swelling) during reactive sintering of the in situ composites.

AB  - Abstract: Estimates suggest that capital costs typically increase less than proportionately with plant capacity in the dry mill ethanol industry because the estimated power factor is 0.836. However, capital costs increase more rapidly for ethanol than for a typical processing enterprise, judging by the average 0.6 factor rule. Some estimates also suggest a phase of decreasing unit costs followed by a phase of increasing costs. Nonetheless dry mills could be somewhat larger than the current industry standard, unless other scarce factors limit capacity expansion. Despite the statistical significance of an average cost-size relationship, average capital cost for plant of a given size at a particular location is still highly variable due to costs associated with unique circumstances, possibly water availability, utility access and environmental compliance.

AB  - The belief that farm work is good for children is deeply rooted in agrarian ideals, which impute a wholesomeness to farming tied to its economic, social, and moral value to society. Nevertheless, in the context of the changing scale of work, community, and new ideas about childhood and education, Progressive reformers suggested that some farm work was unhealthy for children. To separate the agricultural labor that concerned them from the agrarian consensus, they developed a critique centered on education and industrialized agriculture. Restricting children's labor to allow school attendance balanced two positives for farm children—education and work. Restricting child labor in industrialized agriculture simply recognized its divergence from the family farm ideal. Reformers succeeded modestly along this dual track by the 1930s. The boundaries of the agrarian framework limited further child labor regulation in agriculture, however—not until 1974 were age and hour restrictions on children's field work applied across the industry—thirty-five years after similar protections had been provided in other industries, and exemptions continued for children working on family and small farms.

AB  - Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (IMI 330189) can produce at least three spore types in vitro ; blastospores, submerged conidia, and aerial conidia, as defined by culturing conditions, sporogenesis, and spore morphology. This study compares morphological characteristics (dimensions and cell wall structure), chemical properties of cell wall surfaces (charge, hydrophobicity, and lectin binding), and performance (germination rate and drying stability) among these three spore types. Submerged conidia and aerial conidia both possessed thick, double-layered cell walls, with hydrophobic regions on their surfaces. However, in contrast to aerial conidia, submerged conidia have: (1) a greater affinity for the lectin concanavalin-A; (2) more anionic net surface charge; and (3) a less distinct outer rodlet layer. Blastospores were longer and more variable in length than both submerged conidia and aerial conidia, and had thinner single-layered cell walls that lacked an outer rodlet layer. Also, blastospores had a greater affinity than either conidia type for the lectin, wheat germ agglutinin. Blastaspores lacked hydrophobic regions on their surface, and had a lower anionic net surface charge than submerged conidia. In culture, blastospores germinated the fastest followed by submerged conidia, and then aerial conidia. Survival of submerged conidia and aerial conidia were similar after drying on silica gel, and was greater than that for blastospores. We provide corroborating information for differentiating spore types previously based on method of production, sporogenesis, and appearance of spores. These physical characteristics may have practical application for predicting spore-performance characteristics relevant to production and efficacy of mycoinsecticides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study evaluates osmolality of a submerged conidia-producing medium in relation to the following spore characteristics: yield, morphology (dimensions and cell wall structure), chemical properties of cell wall surfaces (charge, hydrophobicity, and lectin binding), cytoplasmic polyols and trehalose, and performance (drying stability and pathogenicity). Spore production was increased by the addition of up to 150 g l -1 polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG). Spores from high osmolality medium (HOM spores) containing 100 g l -1 PEG had thin cell walls and dimensions more similar to blastospores than submerged conidia or aerial conidia. However, a faint electron-dense layer separating primary and secondary HOM spores’ cell walls was discernable by transmission electron microscopy as found in aerial and submerged conidia but not found in blastospores. HOM spores also appeared to have an outer rodlet layer, unlike blastospores, although it was thinner than those observed in submerged conidia. HOM spores’ surfaces possessed hydrophobic microsites, which was further evidence of the presence of a rodlet layer. In addition, HOM spores had concentrations of exposed N -acetyl-ß-d-glucosaminyl residues intermediate between blastospores and submerged conidia potentially indicating a masking of underlying cell wall by a rodlet layer. All spore types had exposed a-d-mannosyl and/or a-d-glucosyl residues, but lacked oligosaccharides. Similar to blastospores, HOM spores were less anionic than submerged conida. Although HOM spores had thin cell walls, they were more stable to drying than blastospores and submerged conidia. Relative drying stability did not appear to be the result of differences in polyol or trehalose concentrations, since trehalose concentrations were lower in HOM spores than submerged conidia and polyol concentrations were similar between the two spore types. HOM spores had faster germination rates than submerged conidia, similar to blastospores, and they were more pathogenic to Schistocerca americana than submerged conidia and aerial conidia.

AB  - Abstract: Biodiesel, defined as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils and animal fats is an alternative diesel fuel that is steadily gaining attention and significance. One of the most important fuel properties of biodiesel and conventional diesel fuel derived from petroleum is viscosity, which is also an important property of lubricants. Ranges of acceptable kinematic viscosity are specified in various biodiesel and petrodiesel standards. In this work, the kinematic viscosity of numerous fatty compounds as well as components of petrodiesel were determined at 40°C (ASTM D445) as this is the temperature prescribed in biodiesel and petrodiesel standards. The objective is to obtain a database on kinematic viscosity under identical conditions that can be used to define the influence of compound structure on kinematic viscosity. Kinematic viscosity increases with chain length of either the fatty acid or alcohol moiety in a fatty ester or in an aliphatic hydrocarbon. The increase in kinematic viscosity over a certain number of carbons is smaller in aliphatic hydrocarbons than in fatty compounds. The kinematic viscosity of unsaturated fatty compounds strongly depends on the nature and number of double bonds with double bond position affecting viscosity less. Terminal double bonds in aliphatic hydrocarbons have a comparatively small viscosity-reducing effect. Branching in the alcohol moiety does not significantly affect viscosity compared to straight-chain analogues. Free fatty acids or compounds with hydroxy groups possess significantly higher viscosity. The viscosity range of fatty compounds is greater than that of various hydrocarbons comprising petrodiesel. The effect of dibenzothiophene, a sulfur-containing compound found in petrodiesel fuel, on viscosity of toluene is less than that of fatty esters or long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. To further assess the influence of the nature of oxygenated moieties on kinematic viscosity, compounds with 10 carbons and varying oxygenated moieties were investigated. A reversal in the effect on viscosity of the carboxylic acid moiety vs. the alcohol moiety is noted for the C10 compounds compared to unsaturated C18 compounds. Overall, the sequence of influence on kinematic viscosity of oxygenated moieties is COOH≈C–OH>COOCH3≈C#x2013;O–C> no oxygen. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A mathematical model for the mass transfer of solutes between whole cucumbers and brine in cucumber fermentation has been developed that takes into account permeation of solutes through stomata in the cucumber skin and through the epidermal cells in the skin, as well as film diffusion through the surrounding brine boundary layer. The model was used to fit experimental data for the time-dependent concentrations of solutes that permeate into the cucumbers (glucose and malate) and out of them (lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, and sodium chloride). The rate of lactic acid transport through the stomata was found to be three orders of magnitude greater than that through the epidermis, and the permeabilities of lactic and acetic acids were effectively independent of the brine circulation rate. These results indicate that the rate of permeation of solutes into and out of cucumbers was controlled by mass transfer through the stomata, with neither film diffusion nor epidermal diffusion having a significant effect. The model differential equation for solute transfer combined with a set of rate equations for microbial growth will provide a good basis to establish a complete mechanistic model for the cucumber fermentation process.

AB  - Abstract: ‘Golden Delicious’ apples were wound-inoculated with either Colletotrichum acutatum or Penicillium expansum and then treated with various combinations of heat (38°C) for 4 days, 2% sodium bicarbonate, and two biocontrol agents alone or combined. The fruit were stored for 4 months at 1°C and then at 20°C for 2 weeks. Either heat or the antagonists reduced decay caused by C. acutatum, but a combination of the two was required to completely eliminate decay caused by this pathogen in most cases. Sodium bicarbonate alone or in combination with the antagonists had little effect on C. acutatum. The antagonists alone reduced decay caused by P. expansum but tended to be more effective when combined. Sodium bicarbonate increased the effectiveness of decay control by each antagonist alone or in combination. All of the treatments that included heat virtually eliminated decay caused by this pathogen. The proper combination of alternative control measures can provide an effective strategy to reduce postharvest decay of apple fruit. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) inactivation experiments were conducted with adenovirus type 40 (AD40) and feline calicivirus (FCV). Experiments were carried out in buffered, disinfectant demand-free water under high- and low-pH and -temperature conditions. Ct values (the concentration of ClO2 multiplied by contact time with the virus) were calculated directly from bench-scale experiments and from application of the efficiency factor Horn (EFH) model. AD40 Ct ranges for 4-log inactivation (Ct99.99%) at 5°C were >0.77 to <1.53 mg/liter × min and >0.80 to <1.59 mg/liter × min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. For 15°C AD40 experiments, >0.49 to <0.74 mg/liter × min and <0.12 mg/liter × min Ct99.99% ranges were observed for pH 6 and 8, respectively. FCV Ct99.99% ranges for 5°C experiments were >20.20 to #x003C;30.30 mg/liter × min and >0.68 mg/liter × min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. For 15°C FCV experiments, Ct99.99% ranges were >4.20 to <6.72 and <0.18 rog/liter × min for pH 6 and 8, respectively. Viral inactivation was higher at pH 8 than at pH 6 and at 15°C than at 5°C. Comparison of Ct values and inactivation curves demonstrated that the EFH model described bench-scale experiment data very well. Observed bench-scale Ct99.99% ranges and EFH model Ct99.99% values demonstrated that FCV is more resistant to ClO2 than AD40 for the conditions studied. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance manual Ct99.99% values are higher than Ct99.99% values calculated from bench-scale experiments and from EFH model application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The destruction of urea, its fate and influence on levels of active chlorine as well as formation of byproducts during electrolytic treatment of urea solutions was studied. Treated solutions designed to simulate typical concentrations in dairy manure lagoon water, contained initial concentrations of urea up to 750ppm (mgL), chloride from 100 to 400ppm, and 2000ppm NaHCO. Current from 0.6 to 2.5A (34–141Am) was applied using oxide-coated titanium electrodes in a bench scale electrolysis device. Current and energy efficiencies of urea destruction increased with temperature and initial concentrations of chloride and urea. These parameters also affected the concentrations of oxidized chlorine species during treatment. Residual nitrogen was comprised of a constant fraction (0.07) of urea nitrogen oxidized to nitrate over the temperature range studied (16–34.5 C). Chlorate was also formed as a byproduct of electrolysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: An Eimeria tenella microneme recombinant gene (EtMIC2) and encoded protein were evaluated as potential vaccines against avian coccidiosis. In ovo inoculation with the EtMIC2 gene increased anti-EtMIC2 antibody titers at days 10 and 17 following E. tenella infection. In addition, vaccinated birds developed protective immunity against infection by E. tenella as assessed by significantly increased body weight gain and decreased fecal oocyst shedding compared with non-vaccinated controls. Vaccination with the EtMIC2 gene also led to protective immunity against infection by E. acervulina, but not E. maxima. Combined in ovo DNA vaccination plus post-hatch boosting with EtMIC2 DNA or protein did not improve antibody titers or protective immunity beyond that achieved with in ovo vaccination alone. These results provide evidence that in ovo immunization with a recombinant Eimeria microneme gene stimulates protective intestinal immunity against coccidiosis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Cold temperature decreases feed intake and growth of channel catfish, but the physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with the growth depression remain unknown. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the effects of a 28-day exposure to cold temperature or feed deprivation at warm temperature on growth, physiological indices, and the expression of genes involved in muscle growth and metabolism. Juvenile channel catfish (initial mean weight 119.7±8.0 g) were stocked into six 189-l tanks (20 fish per tank) with two replicate tanks for each of three treatments: Cold-fish reared at ≈10 °C and fed to excess once daily, Feed-Restricted-fish reared at ≈27 °C and deprived of food, and Control-fish reared at ≈27 °C and fed to excess once daily. Muscle and blood samples were collected on days 1, 14, and 28, and final body weight, organ weight, and fillet fat and moisture were collected on day 28. Plasma samples were analyzed for cortisol and creatine-kinase activity. Abundance of mRNAs encoding myostatin, myosin heavy chain (MHC), and heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70) in muscle was determined via real-time quantitative PCR. Final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, and liposomatic index were highest in control fish, intermediate in cold treatment fish, and lowest in feed-deprived fish. Fillet fat was lower and fillet moisture was higher for feed-restricted fish than for cold and control fish. Cold treatment fish had a greater hepatosomatic index than either control or feed-deprived fish. On day 1 cold treatment fish had greater plasma cortisol concentrations than control fish. Creatine kinase activity was greater for cold and feed-deprived fish than for control fish on day 14. Myostatin mRNA abundance was lower for cold and feed-deprived treatment fish than for control fish on day 1. Myostatin and HSP-70 mRNA was increased on day 14 and day 28 in the cold treatment fish relative to the control or feed-deprived fish. MHC mRNA was increased in the cold treatment fish on day 14. Voluntary suppression of feed intake associated with cold water temperature and feed restriction at warm temperature both reduced growth in channel catfish, but patterns of gene expression in the two treatments were not similar.

AB  - Abstract: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a potent stimulator of prolactin (PRL) secretion in various vertebrates including the tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. The mechanism by which GnRH regulates lactotroph cell function is poorly understood. Using the advantageous characteristics of the teleost pituitary gland from which a nearly pure population of PRL cells can be isolated, we examined whether GnRH might stimulate PRL release through an increase in phospholipase C (PLC), inositol triphosphate (IP3), and intracellular calcium signaling. Using imaging and the calcium-sensitive dye fura-2, we found that chicken GnRH-II (cGnRH-II) induced a rapid dose-dependent increase in in dispersed tilapia lactotrophs. The signal was abolished by U-73122, an inhibitor of PLC-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Correspondingly, cGnRH-II-induced tPRL188 secretion was inhibited by U-73122, suggesting that activation of PLC mediates cGnRH-II’s stimulatory effect on PRL secretion. Pretreatment with 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8), an inhibitor of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, impeded the effect of cGnRH-II on . To further address the possible involvement of intracellular Ca2+ stores, IP3 concentrations in the tilapia rostral pars distalis (RPD containing 95–99% PRL cells) was determined by a radioreceptor assay. We found that GnRH-II induces a rapid (&#60;5min) and sustained increase in IP3 concentration in the RPD. Secretion of tPRL188 in response to cGnRH-II was suppressed by Ca2+ antagonists (TMB-8 and nifedipine). These data, along with our previous findings that show PRL release increases with a rise in , suggest that GnRH may elicit its PRL releasing effect by increasing . Furthermore, the rise in may be derived from PLC/IP3-induced mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores along with influx through L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Context The role and dose of oral vitamin D supplementation in nonvertebral fracture prevention have not been well established. Objective To estimate the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in preventing hip and nonvertebral fractures in older persons. Data Sources A systematic review of English and non-English articles using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (1960-2005), and EMBASE (1991-2005). Additional studies were identified by contacting clinical experts and searching bibliographies and abstracts presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (1995-2004). Search terms included randomized controlled trial (RCT), controlled clinical trial, random allocation, double-blind method, cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, fractures, humans, elderly, falls, and bone density. Study Selection Only double-blind RCTs of oral vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol) with or without calcium supplementation vs calcium supplementation or placebo in older persons (≥60 years) that examined hip or nonvertebral fractures were included. Data Extraction Independent extraction of articles by 2 authors using predefined data fields, including study quality indicators. Data Synthesis All pooled analyses were based on random-effects models. Five RCTs for hip fracture (n = 9294) and 7 RCTs for nonvertebral fracture risk (n = 9820) met our inclusion criteria. All trials used cholecalciferol. Heterogeneity among studies for both hip and nonvertebral fracture prevention was observed, which disappeared after pooling RCTs with low-dose (400 IU/d) and higher-dose vitamin D (700-800 IU/d), separately. A vitamin D dose of 700 to 800 IU/d reduced the relative risk (RR) of hip fracture by 26% (3 RCTs with 5572 persons; pooled RR, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.88) and any nonvertebral fracture by 23% (5 RCTs with 6098 persons; pooled RR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.68-0.87) vs calcium or placebo. No significant benefit was observed for RCTs with 400 IU/d vitamin D (2 RCTs with 3722 persons; pooled RR for hip fracture, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.88-1.50; and pooled RR for any nonvertebral fracture, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.86-1.24). Conclusions Oral vitamin D supplementation between 700 to 800 IU/d appears to reduce the risk of hip and any nonvertebral fractures in ambulatory or institutionalized elderly persons. An oral vitamin D dose of 400 IU/d is not sufficient for fracture prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Deep inelastic scattering and its diffractive component, , have been studied at HERA with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of . The measurement covers a wide range in the c.m. energy W (37–245 GeV), photon virtuality Q 2 (2.2–80 GeV2) and mass (0.28–35 GeV). The diffractive cross section for rises strongly with W; the rise is steeper with increasing Q 2. The latter observation excludes the description of diffractive deep inelastic scattering in terms of the exchange of a single pomeron. The ratio of diffractive to total cross section is constant as a function of W, in contradiction to the expectation of Regge phenomenology combined with a naive extension of the optical theorem to scattering. Above of 8 GeV, the ratio is flat with Q 2, indicating a leading-twist behaviour of the diffractive cross section. The data are also presented in terms of the diffractive structure function, , of the proton. For fixed β, the Q 2 dependence of changes with in violation of Regge factorisation. For fixed , rises as , the rise accelerating with increasing Q 2. These positive scaling violations suggest substantial contributions of perturbative effects in the diffractive DIS cross section.

AB  - Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia) is a weed species that has contaminated soybean and other crops. Although sicklepod continues to be a problem weed, the advent of herbicide-resistant soybeans has reduced the problem somewhat in the last few years. Sicklepod seed contains a gum of commercial interest in addition to protein and fat. An inexpensive process to enrich gum and protein contents of sicklepod seed is desirable for increased utilization and further processing. This study was conducted to determine whether fine grinding and sieving of sicklepod seed into separate fractions according to particle size could enrich gum and protein. Sicklepod seed was finely ground in a pin mill at different speed, and the resulting ground seed was separated into various fractions according to particle size. Gum content increased with particle size, and protein content decreased with particle size. Fine grinding and sieving of sicklepod seed can enrich gum in the fraction with largest particle size and can enrich protein in the fraction with smallest particle size. Fine grinding and sieving of sicklepod seed can make further processing more economical. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Removing solid particles from ethanolic corn extracts by gravitational settling into a water layer has been studied as part of a project to develop a low cost method to extract ethanol-soluble protein from corn meal. Settling has several advantages over industrially proven methods of liquid/particle separation: (1) less expensive equipment; (2) particles that settle at different rates can be collected from different outlets, and (3) extract liquid entrained by settling particles dissolves in the water from which the ethanol can be recovered by distillation. When fine particles were pumped as part of the extract into the 5-l settling layer at a high enough rate, they formed a particle layer at the extract/water interface. The particle layer prevents further settling and is a non-sustainable operating condition. The layer does not form when the mass fraction of particles in the extract was 0.11 or less. This value is greater than the value obtained by extrapolating published settling data for denser (mineral) particles. Overall, entrainment of extract liquid for the settling was about the same as entrainment during centrifugation. In-line measurements and recordings of ethanol concentration, density, and particle content of the water stream carrying settled coarse particles from the settling tank showed that specific entrainment was greater for the finer particles.

AB  - Very low density apolipoprotein-II (apoVLDL-II) is a major constituent of very low density lipoprotein and is involved in lipid transportation in chickens. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of an apoVLDL-II gene polymorphism on chicken growth and body composition traits. The Iowa Growth and Composition Resource Population was established by crossing broiler sires with dams from 2 unrelated highly inbred lines (Leghorn and Fayoumi). The F1 birds were intercrossed, within dam line, to produce 2 related F2 populations. Body weight and body composition traits were measured in the F2 population. Primers for the 5′-flanking region in apoVLDL-II were designed from database chicken genomic sequence. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) between parental lines were detected by DNA sequencing, and PCR-RFLP methods were then developed to genotype SNP in the F2 population. There was no polymorphism in the 492 bp sequenced between broiler and Leghorn. The apoVLDL-II polymorphism between broiler and Fayoumi was associated with multiple traits of growth and body composition in the 148 male F2 individuals, including BW, breast muscle weight, drumstick weight, and tibia length. This research suggests that apoVLDL-II or a tightly linked gene has broad effects on growth and development in the chicken. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: We compared the effect of herbivory by two congeneric specialist weevils (Neochetina eichhorniae and Neochetina bruchi) on competition between their host Eichhornia crassipes and another floating aquatic plant (Pistia stratiotes) by experimentally manipulating plant densities, presence of either or both herbivore species, and nutrient levels. Measurements of E. crassipes yield per original plant included biomass, clonal expansion, and flower production. Without herbivory, intraspecific competition among E. crassipes individuals was 41 times more intense than interspecific competition in terms of biomass yield. Herbivory shifted competitive outcomes, bringing intraspecific competition in line with interspecific competition. Both weevil species reduced E. crassipes biomass and flowering, but N. bruchi also lessened clonal expansion (rosette density) whereas N. eichhorniae did not. Nutrient limitation reduced plant performance but did not alter the pattern of competitive interactions. However, low nutrients moderated differences between weevil species such that both seemed equally damaging. We conclude that while herbivory directly and indirectly affected plant performance by altering competition between these two invasive plant species, the competitive response varied depending upon the herbivore species and availability of nutrients. The influence of herbivores on competitive interactions may thus be an important consideration for evaluating the invasive potential of exotic plant species as well as for predicting the potential efficacy of biological control agents, but interactions between herbivory, competitors, and nutrient availability create complexities that must be considered.

AB  - Salmonella enterica forms biofilms that are relatively resistant to chemical sanitizing treatments. Ionizing radiation has been used to inactivate Salmonella on a variety of foods and contact surfaces, but the relative efficacy of the process against biofilm-associated cells versus free-living planktonic cells is not well documented. The radiation sensitivity of planktonic or biofilm-associated cells was determined for three food-borne-illness-associated isolates of Salmonella. Biofilms were formed on sterile glass slides in a coincubation apparatus, using inoculated tryptic soy broth, incubated at 37°C for 48 h. Resulting biofilms were 18 to 24 μm in height as determined by confocal scanning laser microscopy. The planktonic and biofilm cultures were gamma irradiated to doses of 0.0 (control), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kGy. The D10 value (the dose of radiation required to reduce a population by 1 log10, or 90%) was calculated for each isolate-culture based on surviving populations at each radiation dose. The D10 values of S. enterica serovar Anatum were not signifcantly (P lt; 0.05) different for biofilm-associated (0.645 kGy) and planktonic (0.677 kGy) cells. In contrast, the biofilm-associated cells of S. enterica serovar Stanley were significantly more sensitive to ionizing radiation than the respective planktonic cells, with D10 values of 0.531 and 0.591 kGy, respectively. D10 values of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis were similarly reduced for biofilm-associated (0.436 kGy) versus planktonic (0.535 kGy) cells. The antimicrobial efficacy of ionizing radiation is therefore preserved or enhanced in treatment of biofilm-associated bacteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The interaction of hydrogen sulfide with a cermet composed of zirconium oxide and yttrium oxide doped with metallic nickel (Ni) in the stoichiometric form Zr0.92Y0.08O2-δ/40vol% Ni and a pure nickel metal was studied at 500 and 650°C utilizing high temperature X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-temperature scanning electron microscopy. The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) did not appear to interact with the cermet at 500°C with H2S exposures of 6×10-5Torr for 1h, but interaction of H2S with the cermet was observed at 650°C at similar H2S exposures. The amount and the rate of reaction of H2S were significantly lower with the cermet than with the pure nickel metal at 650°C with similar H2S exposures. The dispersion of nickel in the zirconium and yttrium oxide matrix decreased the reaction of H2S with nickel in the cermet. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Due to the excellent adsorption capacity coupled with convenient regeneration characteristics demonstrated by copper oxide impregnated γ-Al2O3 spheres this process has the potential of being more effective, feasible and widely accepted over the lime and limestone scrubbing in the removal of SO2. Thermogravimetric tests concerning the copper oxide on γ-Al2O3 (both fresh and spent) sorbent regeneration kinetics by methane were performed. Commercially available (SELEXSORB™) 1/8in. diameter γ-Al2O3 spheres loaded with 5.8wt.% of Cu were used for these studies. The regeneration experiment temperatures were: 700, 727 and 750K, while a 20cm3/min flow of pure methane was applied. To determine the reaction mechanism and its kinetic parameters evaluation, the TGA data were subjected to a rigorous series of theoretically developed models of topochemical reaction kinetics. Hancock and Sharp''s tabulations were used to establish the reaction mechanisms and their rate constants evaluation. The various diffusion kinetic equations found themselves useful for the description of the reaction time—courses in the final stage of each experiment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Composite materials were prepared with granular corn starch (CS) or potato starch (PS) and poly(ester amide) resin (PEA), with starch volume fractions (ϕ) up to 0.40. Tensile yield properties were evaluated at strain rates of 0.0017–0.05s−1. Yield stress of the CS-PEA materials increased with strain rate and starch content. The strain rate effect became more pronounced as the starch content increased. A crossover effect was observed with PS-PEA materials: at low strain rates, the yield stress decreased with increasing ϕ, and increased with ϕ at higher strain rates. This crossover suggests that the time scale of debonding in the PS-PEA materials is comparable to the time scale of the tension test. The addition of either CS or PS to PEA induced a distinct maximum in the stress–strain curve at yield compared to the neat PEA. Debonding of starch granules from the PEA matrix occurred at lower stresses in the PS-PEA materials than the CS-PEA. In PS-PEA, debonding occurred in bands similar in appearance to shear bands throughout the tensile specimen. After yielding, the cross-section area decreased as the debonded zones coalesced. In the CS-PEA materials, debonding zones were more diffuse, and a distinct neck formed at yield. Yield stress data for the CS-PEA materials could be shifted with respect to strain rate to construct a master curve, indicating that yield properties at these strain rates were determined by the matrix response rather than debonding as observed in other starch-filled materials.

AB  - Abstract: Recently, a one-chain monoclinic unit cell for cellulose IIII having P21 symmetry and a single glucose in the asymmetric unit was proposed, based on high-resolution diffraction patterns. The new work challenged a two-chain structure that was published 25years earlier, although it did not provide new three-dimensional coordinates. Our goals were to solve the structure by modeling, find whether modeling would reject the previously determined two-chain unit cell, and compare the model with the anticipated experimental structure. Combinations of three rotamers of the O-2, O-3, and O-6 hydroxyl groups produced 27 ‘up’ and 27 ‘down’ starting structures. Clusters (‘minicrystals’) of 13 cellotetraose chains terminated by methyl groups for each of the 54 starting structures were optimized with MM3(96). Hydroxyl groups on 16 of these 54 structures reoriented to give very similar hydrogen-bonding schemes in the interiors, along with the lowest energies. Hydrogen bonds included the usual intramolecular O-3H⋯O-5′ linkage, with O-6′ also accepting from O-3H. Interchain hydrogen bonds form an infinite, cooperative O-6H⋯O-2H⋯O-6 network. Direct comparison of total minicrystal energies for the one- and two-chain unit cell was inappropriate because the two-chain cell’s alternate chains are shifted 0.9Å along the z-axis. To get comparable energy values, models were built with both cellotetraose and cellohexaose chains. The differences in their energies represent the energies for the central layers of cellobiose units. The one-chain cell models had much lower energy. The eight best ‘up’ one-chain models agree reasonably well with the structure newly determined by experiment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: A 1.6ha plot of Atriplex canescens (fourwing saltbush) was established in a desert soil at a former uranium ore-processing plant, near Monument Valley, Arizona, to remediate nitrate and ammonium N contamination. The plants were irrigated to stimulate growth and N uptake. However, NO3− loss from the soil was unexpectedly rapid. Initially, the soil contained approximately 180mgkg−1 NO3−–N distributed at depths up to 4.6m, but concentrations decreased to 80mgkg−1 after 41 months. Losses occurred throughout the plot at all soil depths. NH4–N remained unchanged (ca.180mgkg−1). Soil moisture was generally below field capacity and soil–water flux showed no net downward movement over the course of the study. A salt balance showed a 10% decrease in soluble salts during the study, attributable to the loss in NO3−. Residual soluble soil N became progressively enriched in 15N over time, consistent with biological denitrification. Additionally, microcosm studies indicate significant potential denitrification rates on the plot but not for control soils. Total losses of NO3−–N were 1360kgha−1 yr −1. These findings of rapid denitrification in the vadose zone of a desert soil are unique and may offer a low-cost method for NO3− remediation at similar sites. These findings are also of interest due to the depth at which the losses occurred and the possibility that considerable amounts of naturally occurring NO3− in deep vadose zone desert soils in the southwestern US could be similarly mobilized by changing land use practices or climate change.

AB  - Abstract: We examined loss of organic matter (OM) and phenolics from leaf litter of two shrubs that are invasive in the Chihuahuan Desert. Fiberglass bags (1-mm mesh) containing creosotebush [Larrea tridentata (Sess. & Moc. ex DC.) Cov.] or tarbush (Flourensia cernua DC.) leaf litter were placed below shrubs in two positions (soil surface and 5cm below-ground) and removed at several intervals up to 90 days during winter (creosotebush and tarbush) and spring (creosotebush). Over the 90-day sampling interval, OM loss from creosotebush and tarbush during the winter sampling period was low for both surface and buried litter, ranging from 1.7% to 5.2%. Losses of OM from creosotebush litter during the spring were much greater (75.1% and 33.5% for buried and surface samples, respectively). Total phenolic losses after 90 days were 1.6%, 4.8%, 21.6%, 13.5%, 87.1%, and 43.5% for winter buried creosotebush, winter surface creosotebush, winter buried tarbush, winter surface tarbush, spring buried creosotebush, and spring surface creosotebush litter, respectively, while losses of condensed tannins for the same samples were 45.8%, 56.1%, −34.0%, −41.8%, 91.1%, and 67.4%. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid loss from creosotebush litter was 25.4%, 18.3%, 95.2%, and 66.7% for winter buried, winter surface, spring buried, and spring surface samples, respectively, over the 90-day interval. Losses of OM and phenolics were generally greater in buried vs. surface and spring vs. winter samples, and losses typically occurred during the last 30–45 days. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In nature, bacteria are often organized in aggregates or biofilms rather than as solitary cells. Biofilms on inert surfaces have been studied in depth using confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) with a variety of fluorescent probes. In contrast, there have been few studies of native microbial aggregates or biofilms on living surfaces, including plants. In this study we used CSLM in combination with the LIVE/DEAD® BacLight™ Viability Kit (Molecular Probes Inc.) to determine the thickness of native microbial aggregates on alfalfa, clover and mung bean sprouts purchased from retail outlets. A survey of aggregate thickness was made by use of a 20× dry lens primarily due to its large free working distance, broad field of view and the uneven topography and shape of cotyledon surfaces. Values for measured thickness (z-axis) were corrected based on the point spread function of fluorescent latex spheres (1.98 μm in diameter). Aggregates consisted primarily of live bacteria. Aggregates on mung bean cotyledons were significantly (<f>P<0.05</f>) thicker (average=6.4±2.1 μm, median=6.0 μm, range of 3.4–10.6 μm) than those on alfalfa (average=3.3±2.1 μm , median=2.8 μm, range=1.7–12.6 μm) or clover (average=3.0±1.1 μm, median=2.8 μm , range=1.7–5.4 μm). Average thickness was not significantly (<f>P>0.05</f>) different for aggregates on clover and alfalfa. Bacteria in fully hydrated aggregates as imaged by CSLM appeared to be less densely packed when compared to sprout surface biofilms imaged previously in our laboratory with conventional scanning electron microscopy techniques, most likely due to the presence of hydrated bacterial exopolymers. Despite a lack of considerable thickness, aggregates and biofilms on plant surfaces may harbor plant and human pathogens making their eradication more problematic and also protect pathogens and native bacteria from adverse environmental conditions.

AB  - Mutations in MEF2A have been implicated in an autosomal dominant form of coronary artery disease (adCAD1). In this study we sought to determine whether severe mutations in MEF2A might also explain sporadic cases of coronary artery disease (CAD). To do this, we resequenced the coding sequence and splice sites of MEF2A in approximately 300 patients with premature CAD and failed to find causative mutations in the CAD cohort. However, we did identify the 21-bp MEF2A coding sequence deletion originally implicated in adCAD1 in 1 of 300 elderly control subjects without CAD. Further screening of approximately 1,500 additional individuals without CAD revealed 2 more subjects with the MEF2A 21-bp deletion. Genotyping of 19 family members of the 3 probands with the 21-bp deletion in MEF2A revealed that the mutation did not cosegregate with early CAD. These studies support that MEF2A mutations are not a common cause of CAD in white people and argue strongly against a role for the MEF2A 21-bp deletion in autosomal dominant CAD.

N2  - Introduction: Low dietary intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or foods rich in lutein may be associated with increased risk of cognitive decline in the elderly. Subjects and methods: The cognitive benefit of DHA and lutein in unimpaired elder women was explored in the context of a 4-month, double-blind, intervention trial of DHA and lutein supplementation for eye health. Forty-nine women (aged 60–80 years) were randomized to receive DHA (800 mg/day; n = 14), lutein (12 mg/day; n = 11), a combination of DHA and lutein (n = 14) or placebo (n = 10). Subjects underwent cognitive tests measuring verbal fluency, memory, processing speed and accuracy, and self-reports of mood at randomization and upon completion of the trial. Results: Following supplementation, verbal fluency scores improved significantly in the DHA, lutein, and combined treatment groups (P < 0.03). Memory scores and rate of learning improved significantly in the combined treatment group (P < 0.03), who also displayed a trend toward more efficient learning (P = 0.07). Measures of mental processing speed, accuracy and mood were not affected by supplementation. Conclusions: These exploratory findings suggest that DHA and lutein supplementation may have cognitive benefit for older adults. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - This paper uses a new unit commitment model which can simulate the interactions among plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), wind power, and demand response (DR). Four PHEV charging scenarios are simulated for the Illinois power system: (1) unconstrained charging, (2) 3-hour delayed constrained charging, (3) smart charging, and (4) smart charging with DR. The PHEV charging is assumed to be optimally controlled by the system operator in the latter two scenarios, along with load shifting and shaving enabled by DR programs. The simulation results show that optimally dispatching the PHEV charging load can significantly reduce the total operating cost of the system. With DR programs in place, the operating cost can be further reduced.

N2  - The diverse nature and uncertain potential of the energy technologies that are or may be available to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions pose a challenge to policymakers trying to invest public funds in an optimal R&D portfolio. This paper discusses two analytical approaches to this challenge used to inform funding decisions related to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) applied energy R&D portfolio. The two approaches are distinguished by the constraints under which they were conducted: the need to provide an end-to-end portfolio analysis as input to internal DOE budgeting processes, but with limited time and subject to institutional constraints regarding important issues such as expert judgment. Because of these constraints, neither approach should be viewed as an attempt to push forward the state of the art in portfolio analysis in the abstract. Instead, they are an attempt to use more stylized, heuristic methods that can provide first-order insights in the DOE institutional context. Both approaches make use of advanced technology scenarios implemented in an integrated assessment modeling framework and then apply expert judgment regarding the likelihood of achieving associated R&D and commercialization goals. The approaches differ in the granularity of the scenarios used and in the definition of the benefits of technological advance: in one approach the benefits are defined as the cumulative emission reduction attributable to a particular technology; in the other approach benefits are defined as the cumulative cost reduction. In both approaches a return on investment (ROI) criterion is established based on benefits divided by federal R&D investment. The ROI is then used to build a first-order approximation of an optimal applied energy R&D investment portfolio. Although these methodologies have been used to inform an actual budget request, the results reflect only one input among many used in budget formulation. The results are therefore not representative of an official U.S. government or DOE funding recommendation but should instead be considered illustrative of the way in which methodologies such as these could be applied.

N2  - This paper uses confidential Census data, specifically the 1990 and 2000 Census Long Form data, to study the income dispersion of recent cohorts of migrants to mixed-income neighborhoods. We investigate whether neighborhoods with high levels of income dispersion attract economically diverse in-migrants. If recent in-migrants to mixed-income neighborhoods exhibit high levels of income dispersion, this is consistent with stable mixed-income neighborhoods. If, however, mixed-income neighborhoods are comprised of homogenous low-income (high-income) cohorts of long-term residents combined with homogenous high-income (low-income) cohorts of recent arrivals, this is consistent with neighborhood transition. Our results indicate that neighborhoods with high levels of income dispersion do in fact attract a much more heterogeneous set of in-migrants, particularly from the tails of the income distribution. Our results also suggest that the residents of mixed-income neighborhoods may be less heterogeneous with respect to lifetime income.

This article links data from the American Time Use Study and the Eating and Health Module to explore exercise and eating patterns for varying age groups, over different times of day, and by self-reported health status. Younger Americans who did some exercise were more likely to engage in higher impact sports. Older Americans who exercised were more likely to do so in the morning. Americans who reported being in excellent health spent more time exercising than other self-reported health groups, regardless of their sex or age.

The authors cite various factors used to determine the positive gradient of NIR BRF such as stronger absorption by needles and needle scattering. They say that the hyperspectral remote sensing of the biochemical components of leaf depends on the variance of scattering at different wavelengths.

N2  - Perilipin proteins were discovered in the adipocyte, where they regulate lipid storage and lipolysis. Animal knockout models provided initial evidence of the critical role of perilipin 1, the most abundant of the adipocyte proteins, in energy and glucose metabolism. During a decade of study, genetic variation in perilipin 1 has been consistently but not invariably associated with body weight and obesity-related complications. Related phenotypes such as postprandial lipid metabolism and aerobic fitness are also modulated by perilipin 1 genotype, consistent with earlier metabolic studies. Investigations of gene-diet interactions, together with gene expression studies, have yielded increased understanding, but important questions about causal variants and mechanisms remain. The newest work examines perilipin 4, an adipocyte regulator of triglyceride synthesis and packaging. The novel discovery that a perilipin 4 variant creates a binding site for regulation of the perilipin gene ( PLIN) by microRNA suggests intriguing new possibilities for additional mechanistic investigations of other perilipin proteins.

N2  - The article discusses a study which examined the effects of pistachios on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and blood-pressure (BP) response to acute stress. A definition of FMD is presented. In this study, while there were no changes observed in the resting levels of BP and heart rate, the effects of a pistachio-supplemented diet was revealed to be dose-dependent. One possible explanation for the increase in cardiac output (CO) is that it may be a compensatory response to peripheral vasodilation.

N2  - The article discusses a report of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Working Group on Epigenetics and Hypertension. The essential hypertension causes are reported to be poorly understood though mechanisms for blood pressure (BP) regulation have been extensively characterized in human and animal models. Epigenetics is defined as the transmission from one cell generation to the next via mitosis of gene expression patterns that do not rely explicitly on DNA sequence differences.

The data sample consists of deep inelastic ep scattering events at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV, and corresponds to 121 pb−1 of integrated luminosity. A clear signal for was observed. However, no signal for any new baryonic state was observed at higher masses in either the or channels. The searches in the antiparticle channels were also negative. Upper limits on the ratio of a possible () signal to the signal were set in the mass range 1650–2350 MeV. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Energetic neutrons produced in ep collisions at HERA have been studied with the ZEUS detector in the photoproduction regime at a mean photon–proton center-of-mass energy of 220 GeV. The neutrons carry a large fraction of the incoming proton energy, and the four-momentum transfer squared at the proton–neutron vertex is small, . The distribution of the neutrons is measured in bins of t. The distributions in the t bins studied satisfy a power law , with the powers following a linear function of t: . This result is consistent with the expectations of pion-exchange models, in which the incoming proton fluctuates to a neutron–pion state, and the electron interacts with the pion.

AB  - Abstract: In this article we report the results of global structural optimization of the Si(114) surface, which is a stable high-index orientation of silicon. We use two independent procedures recently developed for the determination of surface reconstructions, the parallel-tempering Monte Carlo method and the genetic algorithm. These procedures, coupled with the use of a highly optimized interatomic potential for silicon, lead to finding a set of possible models for Si(114), whose energies are recalculated with ab initio density functional methods. The most stable structure obtained here without experimental input coincides with the structure determined from scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density functional calculations by S.C. Erwin, A.A. Baski, L.J. Whitman [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1996) 687]. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Photocatalytic conversion of methane dissolved in water at 1 MPa and 100 MPa, and methane contained in methane hydrates was performed. Several photocatalysts based on tungsten oxide and titania was investigated. Both full spectrum and visible light were used as the illumination source. Our results indicate that the photocatalyst with the highest level of conversion of methane is the lanthanum-doped tungsten oxide. The main products of photocatalysis are hydrogen and methanol.

AB  - Abstract: Seasonal 18O variations in precipitation, soil water, snowmelt, spring flow and stream baseflow were analyzed to characterize seasonal dynamics of groundwater recharge in three central Pennsylvania catchments. The catchments represented three common landscape types: Valley and Ridge-shale (Mahantango Creek), Valley and Ridge-carbonate (Buffalo Run), and Appalachian Plateau-sandstone (Benner Run). Samples were collected on a biweekly basis from May 18, 1999 to May 9, 2000. Precipitation, soil water, and baseflow isotopic composition data indicated that a seasonal recharge bias existed for these catchments, most recharge occurred in the fall, winter, and spring months. An altitude effect of −0.16 to −0.32‰/100m change in elevation was discernible in precipitation, soil water, and stream baseflow isotopic compositions. Soils effectively damped seasonal variations of recharge 18O composition after depths of 1.62–2.85m. The greatest damping of the annual isotopic composition signal occurred in the shallow soil layers (0–15cm). In these and similar landscapes with thick soils the annual isotopic composition signal may be completely damped prior to reaching the stream as baseflow. Isotopic variations measured in stream baseflow are more likely to be caused by the shallow flowpath water relatively close to the streams. Baseflow stable isotope variations found on the basins studied suggested that residence times for subsurface waters to reach channels were much longer than the annual seasonal cycle of 18O in precipitation. Damping depths were similar for the three different catchments but it is not certain how spatially variable damping depths were within each catchment. This information would be useful in determining areas within catchments that contribute to short term isotopic composition fluctuations within streams (‘new water’). Predictive models that determine isotopic damping depth from meteorological, soil and vegetation/land-use data can help develop a better understanding of the variability of recharge and attenuation of contaminants across the landscape.

AB  - Abstract: Inhibiting the growth of mold fungi on cellulose-based building materials may be achievable through the use of azole-based antimycotics. Azoles were variably effective against mold fungi that are frequently found on wood and wood products. Unseasoned southern yellow pine specimens that were dip-treated with varying concentrations of eight azoles were evaluated for their ability to resist mold infestation when challenged with Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Trichoderma viride spores. Minimal fungicidal concentrations (MFC90) were determined to be 0.016% for thiabendazole and 0.043% for voriconazole, the most efficacious azoles against the challenge fungi. We conclude that thiabendazole or voriconazole may be used alone or in combination to inhibit mold fungi on unseasoned pine. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We analyzed raw ground beef testing data to determine whether a decrease in the rate of Escherichia coli O157:H7-positive raw ground beef samples has occurred since the inception of Food Safety and Inspection Service (U.S. Department of Agriculture) regulatory actions and microbiological testing concerning this commodity and pathogen. A main effects log-linear Poisson regression model was constructed to evaluate the association between fiscal year and the rate of E. coli O157: H7-positive raw ground beef samples while controlling for the effect of season for the subset of test results obtained from fiscal year (FY)2000 through FY2003. Rate ratios were used to compare the rate of E. coli O157:H7-positive raw ground beef samples between sequential years to identify year-to-year differences. Of the 26,521 raw ground beef samples tested from FY2000 through FY2003, 189 (0.71%) tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. Year-to-year comparisons identified a 50% reduction in the rate of positive ground beef samples from FY2002 to FY2003 when controlling for season (95% CI, 10 to 72% decrease; P = 0.02). This decrease was the only significant year-to-year change in the rate of E. coli O157:H7-positive raw ground beef samples but was consistent in samples obtained from both federally inspected establishments and retail outlets. We believe this decrease is attributed to specific regulatory actions by Food Safety and Inspection Service and subsequent actions implemented by the industry, with the goal of reducing E. coli O157:H7 adulteration of raw ground beef. Continued monitoring is necessary to confirm that the decrease in the rate of E. coli O157:H7 in raw ground beef samples we observed hem represents the beginning of a sustained trend.

AB  - Abstract: This study focuses on the transient and complex nature of phenolics that accumulate in the extracellular environment of plant suspension cells during the first few hours of the interaction between these plant cells and bacterial pathogens. Using suspension cells of Nicotiana tabacum we identified four acetophenones and four hydroxycinnamic acid amides that accumulate in this extracellular environment. Treatment of the suspension cells with isolates of the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae or heat-killed bacteria increased elicitation of extracellular phenolics and changed the composition of the compounds that accumulated. These phenolics were sensitive to oxidative stress; when suspension cells were treated with bacterial strains or elicitors that triggered an oxidative burst, these phenolics were oxidized and depleted for the duration of the burst. The qualitative and quantitative makeup of phenolics produced by N. tabacum suspensions was also affected by plant cell age and density. To our knowledge, this is the first study that closely follows the kinetics of individual extracellular phenolic compounds and the concurrent oxidative stress during the first few hours of a plant–bacterial interaction.

AB  - Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate different species of Penicillium to identify those which have the potential to produce the greatest amount of the mycotoxin, patulin. Additionally, six different culture media were compared to determine maximum patulin production. Eleven different strains of Penicillium species were selected because they had previously been reported to be producers of patulin. The strains included Penicillium expansum, Penicillium griseofulvum (formerly Penicillium urticae), Penicillium clavigerum, and Penicillium coprobium and a recent Penicillium sp. isolated from an apple. Cultures were grown in duplicate in three different liquid media: potato dextrose, malt extract, and glucose/yeast extract/peptone, both with and without manganese supplementation. Patulin production was compared at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Variability in patulin production occurred among the different species, growth media used, and time of incubation. All three of the P. griseofulvum isolates were the highest producers of patulin at 96 h. For most of the strains, potato dextrose broth supplemented with manganese was optimal for maximum production of patulin. Although P. expansum is frequently cited as the most likely source of patulin in apple juice, certain other Penicillium species are capable of producing more patulin than strains of P. expansum. The apple juice industry should be alert to the possibility that Penicillium species other than P. expansum can be responsible for the occurrence of patulin. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We measured CO2 and evapotranspiration (ET) fluxes above a Chihuahuan desert grassland from 1996 through 2001. Averaged across six years, this ecosystem was a source (positive flux) of CO2 in every month. Over that period, sustained periods of carbon uptake (negative flux) were rare. Averaged across all months, we estimated that CO2 was being released into the atmosphere at a rate of +1.5g CO2m-2d-1 (+0.40g Cm-2d-1) or +533g CO2m-2yr-1 (+145.3g Cm-2yr-1). Average ET was 299mmyr-1 with a monthly range of 0.15mmd-1 in December to 2.15mmd-1 in August. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The ultrastructural characterisitics of four types of Toxoplasma gondii schizonts (types B, C, D and E) and their merozoites, microgamonts and macrogamonts were compared in cats killed at days 1, 2, 4 and 6 after feeding tissues cysts from the brains of mice. Schizonts, merozoites and gamonts contained most of the ultrastructural features characteristic of the phylum Apicomplexa. All four types of schizonts developed within enterocytes or intraepithelial lymphocytes. Occasionally, type B and C schizonts developed within enterocytes that were displaced beneath the epithelium into the lamina propria. Type D and E schizonts and gamonts developed exclusively in the epithelium. Tachyzoites occurred exclusively within the lamina propria. Type B schizonts formed merozoites by endodyogeny, whereas types C to E developed by endopolygeny. The parasitophorous vacuoles surrounding type B and C schizonts consisted of a single membrane, whereas those surrounding types D and E schizonts were comprised of two to four electron-dense membranes. The parasitophorous vacuole of type B schizonts had an extensive tubulovesicular membrane network (TMN); the TMN was reduced or absent in type C schizonts and completely absent in types D and E schizonts and gamonts. Type B merozoites were ultrastructurally similar to tachyzoites, except that they were slightly larger. Type C merozoites exhibited a positive periodic acid-Schiff reaction by light microscopy and ultrastructurally contained amylopectin granules. Rhoptries were labyrinthine in type B merozoites but were electron-dense in types C–E. The development of microgamonts, macrogamont and oocysts is also described. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Pichia caribbica sp. nov. (type strain DBVPG 4519, NRRL Y-27274, CBS 9966) is described as the ascosporic state of Candida fermentati, and Candida guilliermondii var. carpophila (type strain DBVPG 7739, NRRL Y-17905, CBS 5256) is elevated to species status as Candida carpophila comb. nov. These new taxa, which are indistinguishable on the basis of conventional taxonomic criteria, differ from one another and from Pichia guilliermondii by low DNA base sequence relatedness, different electrophoretic karyotypes, and nucleotide divergence in domains D1/D2 of 26S rDNA. Pichia caribbica produces one, rarely two, saturn-shaped ascospores in persistent asci. On the basis of molecular criteria, C. carpophila comb. nov., C. fukuyamaensis, and C. xestobii are conspecific, with the name C. carpophila having taxonomic priority. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) typically constitute more than 90% of the fatty acids of Listeria monocytogenes. The authors have previously described two Tn917-induced, cold-sensitive, BCFA-deficient (<40 Wa) L. monocytogenes mutants (cld-1 and cld-2) with lowered membrane fluidity. Sequence analyses revealed that Tn917 was inserted into different genes of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase cluster (bkd) in these two mutants. The cold-sensitivity and BCFA deficiency of cld-1, in which Tn917 was inserted into bkdB, were complemented in trans by cloned bkdB. The growth and corresponding BCFA content of the mutants at 37 °C were stimulated by fatty acid precursors bypassing Bkd, 2-methylbutyrate (precursor for odd-numbered anteiso-fatty acids), isobutyrate (precursor for even-numbered iso-fatty acids) and isovalerate (precursor for odd-numbered iso-fatty acids). In contrast, the corresponding Bkd substrates, α-ketomethylvalerate, α-ketoisovalerate and α-ketoisocaproate, exhibited much poorer activity. At 26 °C 2-methylbutyrate and isovalerate stimulated the growth of the mutants, and at 10 °C, only 2-methylbutyrate stimulated growth. Pyruvate depressed the BOFA content of cld-2 from 33 % to 27 %, which may be close to the minimum BCFA requirement for L. monocytogenes. The transcription of bkd was enhanced by Bkd substrates, but not by low temperature. When provided with the BCFA precursors, cld-2 was able to increase its anteiso-C15:0 fatty acid content at 10 °C compared to 37 °C, which is the characteristic response of L. monocytogenes to low temperature. This implies that Bkd is not the major cold-regulation point of BCFA synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The type I restriction-modification (hsd) systems of 73 Campylobacter jejuni strains were characterized according to their DNA and amino acid sequences, and/or gene organization. A number of new genes were identified which are not present in the sequenced strain NCTC 11168. The closely related organism Helicobacter pylon has three type I systems; however, no evidence was found that C. jejuni strains contain multiple type I systems, although hsd loci are present in at least two different chromosomal locations. Also, unlike H. pylon, intervening ORFs are present, in some strains, between hsdR and hsdS and between hsdS and hsdM. No definitive function can be ascribed to these ORFs, designated here as rloA-H (R-linked ORF) and micA-B (M-linked ORF). Based on parsimony analysis of amino acid sequences to assess character relatedness, the C. jejuni type I R-M systems are assigned to one of three families: 'lAB', '1C' or 'IF'. This study confirms that HsdM proteins within a family are highly conserved but share little homology with HsdM proteins from other families. The 'IC' hsd loci are >99% identical at the nucleotide level, as are the 'IF' hsd loci. Additionally, whereas the nucleotide sequences of the 'lAB' hsdR and hsdM genes show a high degree of similarity, the nucleotide sequences of the 'lAB' hsdS and rlo genes vary considerably. This diversity suggests that recombination between 'IAB' hsd loci would lead not only to new hsdS alleles but also to the exchange of rlo genes; five C. jejuni hsd loci are presumably the result of such recombination. The importance of these findings with regard to the evolution of C. jejuni type I R-M systems is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Sexual hybrids between distantly relatedSolanumspecies can undergo endosperm failure, a post-zygotic barrier in inter-species hybridizations. This barrier is explained by the endosperm balance number (EBN) hypothesis, which states that parents must have corresponding EBNs for viable seed formation. Tests for inter-crossability were made involving the Mexican speciesSolanum pinnatisectumDunal. (seriesPinnatisecta, ApiApi, 1EBN), autotetraploids of this species,Solanum verrucosumSchlechtd. (seriesTuberosa, AA, 2EBN), haploids (2x, 2EBN) of the South AmericanS. tuberosumL. (seriesTuberosa, A1A1A2A2, 4EBN), and F2 haploid-species hybrids with South American species (AA, 2EBN)S. berthaultiiHawkes,S. sparsipilum(Bitter.) Juz. and Bukasov andS. chacoenseBitter. The development of hybrid endosperms was investigated for these combinations by confocal microscopy with regard to cell-division timing and tissue collapse. Novel sexual diploid (AApi) and triploid (AApiApi) inter-series hybrids were generated fromS. verrucosum×S. pinnatisectumcrosses by using post-pollination applications of auxin. F1 embryos were rescued in vitro. The hybrid status of recovered plants was verified by microsatellite marker analysis, and the ploidy was determined by chromosome counting. The application of phytohormones in inter-ploidyS. pinnatisectum×S. tuberosumcrosses, however, did not delay endosperm collapse, and embryos were not formed. Other diploid, 1EBN species tested in remote hybridizations with GroupTuberosumwereS.cardiophyllumLindl.,S. trifidumCorrell, andS. tarniiHawkes and Hjert., seriesPinnatisecta, andS. bulbocastanumDunal., seriesBulbocastana. Based on the analysis of post-zygotic reproductive barriers among isolated species of sectionPetota, we propose strategies to overcome such incompatibilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. Florunner) was grown from seed sowing to plant maturity under two daytime CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) of 360 μmol mol-1 (ambient) and 720 μmol mol-1 (elevated) and at two temperatures of 1.5 and 6.0 °C above ambient temperature. The objectives were to characterize peanut leaf photosynthesis responses to long-term elevated growth [CO2] and temperature, and to assess whether elevated [CO2] regulated peanut leaf photosynthetic capacity, in terms of activity and protein content of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco), Rubisco photosynthetic efficiency, and carbohydrate metabolism. At both growth temperatures, leaves of plants grown under elevated [CO2] had higher midday photosynthetic CO2 exchange rate (CER), lower transpiration and stomatal conductance and higher water-use efficiency, compared to those of plants grown at ambient [CO2]. Both activity and protein content of Rubisco, expressed on a leaf area basis, were reduced at elevated growth [CO2]. Declines in Rubisco under elevated growth [CO2] were 27–30% for initial activity, 5–12% for total activity, and 9–20% for protein content. Although Rubisco protein content and activity were down-regulated by elevated [CO2], Rubisco photosynthetic efficiency, the ratio of midday light-saturated CER to Rubisco initial or total activity, of the elevated-[CO2] plants was 1.3- to 1.9-fold greater than that of the ambient-[CO2] plants at both growth temperatures. Leaf soluble sugars and starch of plants grown at elevated [CO2] were 1.3- and 2-fold higher, respectively, than those of plants grown at ambient [CO2]. Under elevated [CO2], leaf soluble sugars and starch, however, were not affected by high growth temperature. In contrast, high temperature reduced leaf soluble sugars and starch of the ambient-[CO2] plants. Activity of sucrose-P synthase, but not adenosine 5′-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, was up-regulated under elevated growth [CO2]. Thus, in the absence of other environmental stresses, peanut leaf photosynthesis would perform well under rising atmospheric [CO2] and temperature as predicted for this century.

AB  - Abstract: A recent study of β-hemolytic Escherichia coli isolated from diarrheic swine found that 53% were resistant to chloramphenicol, a drug that has been prohibited from use in food animals in the US since the mid-1980s. To identify the factors governing the persistence of chloramphenicol resistance in the absence of specific selection pressure, the location of the chloramphenicol resistance gene cmlA and its linkage to other resistance determinants were investigated. Southern blot analysis of plasmid DNA from 46 swine E. coli isolates indicated that cmlA was present on large plasmids greater than 100 kbp. Fifty-two percent of the isolates were able to transfer chloramphenicol resistance to an E. coli recipient at conjugation frequencies ranging from 10−3 to 10−8 per recipient. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests on transconjugant strains demonstrated that resistance to sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and kanamycin frequently transferred along with chloramphenicol resistance. The transconjugant strains possessed at least two distinct class 1 integrons that linked cmlA to both aminoglycoside resistance genes aadA1 and aadA2 and either to sul1 or to sul3 sulphonamide resistance genes. These results suggest that in the absence of specific chloramphenicol selection pressure, the cmlA gene is maintained by virtue of gene linkage to genes encoding resistance to antimicrobials that are currently approved for use in food animals.

AB  - Abstract: To better understand computational predictions of disaccharide conformations, ϕ,ψ maps were constructed for two analogs in which all hydroxyl groups were replaced with fluorine atoms (F-cellobiose and F-maltose). These molecules do not permit hydrogen bonding but should give better steric representation than analogs in which hydrogen atoms replaced exo-cyclic groups. Hartree Fock and B3LYP density functional quantum mechanics (QM) theory were used. The preferred ring shape for fluorinated glucose depends on the level of QM theory, but over the limited ϕ,ψ space that was studied, the rings remained in the 4C1 form. Also, fluorine atoms are remote enough that they do not affect the torsional energies for the glycosidic bonds. F-Cellobiose maps were predictive of the conformations in crystals, but F-maltose maps were less so. The QM F-cellobiose map and an MM4::QM hybrid map for cellobiose itself were similar. However, the hybrid maltose map had many more experimental conformations within its 2-kcal/mol contour than did the QM F-maltose map. The apparent mean strength of an intra-molecular, inter-residue hydrogen bond is about 3kcal/mol, based on the energy for many of the hydrogen bonded maltose structures on the F-maltose map. The F-maltose map was similar to a new QM map for an analog of maltose in which all hydroxyl groups were replaced with hydrogen atoms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Each carbon atom in the graphite crystal has a quadrupole moment due to the symmetry of the crystal. We show that these graphite quadrupoles, along with the polarizability of graphite, have a substantial effect on adsorption of strongly polar molecules. We present an approximate method for accounting for the change in the solid-fluid potential energy due to polar interactions with graphite. The potential function is integrated over the graphite surface using a truncated Fourier series, so that the resulting potential is analogous to the Steele 10-4-3 potential. The interactions included in this potential include dipole-induced dipole, dipole-quadrupole, and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. Hence, the potential can be used for fluid molecules with dipole and/or quadrupole moments. Fluid-fluid multipole interactions can be computed with any model; but point multipoles must be used in the solid-fluid potential. The multipole solid-fluid potential is most accurate for nearly spherical molecules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Occasionally, boar semen must be shipped to another location for cryopreservation. We increased the initial holding time for the cooling of extended semen at 15°C from 3 to 24h to determine the effects on sperm characteristics and fertility. Thirty-one gilts and sows were inseminated once with subsequently cryopreserved and thawed semen. Increasing the holding time from 3 to 24h had no significant effect on pregnancy rate 23 days after AI with frozen–thawed semen (64.5%) but decreased (P<0.05) embryo number from 15 to 9 and recovered embryos as fraction of CL from 73 to 47%. While the longer holding time at 15°C did decrease potential litter size, the loss incurred was not too great to preclude the incorporation of a longer holding time into the cryopreservation protocol. An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that processing and freeze–thawing of boar semen would induce phospholipid scrambling in the plasma membrane similar to that evoked by incubation in bicarbonate-containing media. Merocyanine staining after incubation in the presence and absence of bicarbonate indicated that changes in plasma membrane phospholipid scrambling of processed and cryopreserved sperm differed from those in fresh semen undergoing bicarbonate-induced capacitation. The level of Annexin-V binding in boar spermatozoa increased from 1.6% in live spermatozoa in fresh semen to 18.7% in cryopreserved sperm. Apoptosis is unlikely to operate in mature spermatozoa. Apoptotic morphology in ejaculated spermatozoa is probably a result of incomplete deletion of apoptotic spermatocytes during spermatogenesis. Increased Annexin-V binding in thawed spermatozoa probably results from plasma membrane damage incurred during freezing and thawing. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We have performed total-energy electronic structure calculations to examine competing structures for the (1012) twin boundary, which can form under tensile stress along the c axis. The twin boundary structures are significantly different, most notably in their symmetry. These calculations show that, for all materials studied, the different structures have nearly the same energy, in agreement with calculations from empirical potentials. This result is surprising, given the difference in the structures, and the fact that previous first-principles calculations of the energies of compression twin boundaries have shown significant differences from empirical potentials.

AB  - Context The scarcity of data addressing the health effects of popular diets is an important public health concern, especially since patients and physicians are interested in using popular diets as individualized eating strategies for disease prevention. Objective To assess adherence rates and the effectiveness of 4 popular diets (Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, and Ornish) for weight loss and cardiac risk factor reduction. Design, Setting, and Participants A single-center randomized trial at an academic medical center in Boston, Mass, of overweight or obese (body mass index: mean, 35; range, 27-42) adults aged 22 to 72 years with known hypertension, dyslipidemia, or fasting hyperglycemia. Participants were enrolled starting July 18, 2000, and randomized to 4 popular diet groups until January 24, 2002. Intervention A total of 160 participants were randomly assigned to either Atkins (carbohydrate restriction, n=40), Zone (macronutrient balance, n=40), Weight Watchers (calorie restriction, n=40), or Ornish (fat restriction, n=40) diet groups. After 2 months of maximum effort, participants selected their own levels of dietary adherence. Main Outcome Measures One-year changes in baseline weight and cardiac risk factors, and self-selected dietary adherence rates per self-report. Results Assuming no change from baseline for participants who discontinued the study, mean (SD) weight loss at 1 year was 2.1 (4.8) kg for Atkins (21 [53%] of 40 participants completed, P = .009), 3.2 (6.0) kg for Zone (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P = .002), 3.0 (4.9) kg for Weight Watchers (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P < .001), and 3.3 (7.3) kg for Ornish (20 [50%] of 40 completed, P = .007). Greater effects were observed in study completers. Each diet significantly reduced the low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio by approximately 10% (all P<.05), with no significant effects on blood pressure or glucose at 1 year. Amount of weight loss was associated with self-r... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - It is widely believed that quadratic coefficients cannot be estimated from nine data in cubical array. This paper illustrates three equations for that array and one equation for the five-point array. The quadratic coefficients obtained by the equations are compared to the true values as obtained by Taylor expansions of typical generating functions. The accuracy of the estimated coefficients may be sufficient to interest experimentalists. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Operating conditions within a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) many times results in the grouping of circulating particles into clusters. Because of their different relative motion with respect to the balance of the flow, these clusters are believed to demonstrate different transport properties when compared to the balance of the particles. To investigate these differences, it is first necessary to have an objective means of identifying those particles that are within a cluster and those that are not. The concept of granular temperature is used to make this distinction. Using laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) data for 800-μm cork particles, it has been found that groupings of six or more particles demonstrate a different distribution of granular temperatures than groupings with fewer particles. Based on this fact, it is concluded that groups of six particles as measured in the axial flow direction are the fewest number which can be still considered to be in a cluster for this bed material. Additionally, particles considered to be in the dispersed phase have granular temperatures which are low at low solids concentrations, again low at very high solids concentrations and pass through a maximum at intermediate values of solids flow and gas flow.

AB  - Cut pieces of endive were inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes, packaged in gas-impermeable bags in air, 5/5/90% or 10/10/80% CO2, O2 and N2 (“Air-0”, “5/5” and “10/10”, respectively) and irradiated to 0.0 (control), 0.3 or 0.6 kGy. At various times during refrigerated storage, samples were taken and a determination made of (a) total microflora, (b) L. monocytogenes, (c) headspace gas composition, (d) color and (e) texture. Irradiation reduced initial microbial counts in a dose-dependant manner. Bacteria regrew during storage on Air-0 samples, but not on 5/5 or 10/10 samples. In each of the three atmospheres, O2 declined and CO2 increased, irrespective of radiation dose. Irradiated leaf material in Air-0 tended to retain color attributes during storage better than non-irradiated; color retention was more variable under 5/5 and 10/10 packaging. After 8 days, maximum shear force relative to the initial level was significantly reduced in 5/5 at all radiation doses, was not significantly changed in Air-0, and was dose-dependent in 10/10. By 14 days, the texture of all samples had degraded significantly. These results indicate that irradiation and modified atmosphere packaging can be combined to prevent the regrowth of L. monocytogenes during post-irradiation refrigerated storage, thereby improving product safety.

AB  - The effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on plasma cortisol and the expression of MyoD and myostatin (MSTN) mRNAs were evaluated in channel catfish. In addition, the effect of dexamethasone (Dex) on MyoD and MSTN mRNAs was examined. For the LPS injection experiments, juvenile channel catfish were injected intraperitoneally with 1.5 mg/kg LPS or sterile PBS. Blood was collected at 1, 3, 12, and 24 h post-injection for cortisol determination, and muscle samples were collected at 3, 12, and 24 h for mRNA analysis. For the Dex injection experiment, fish were injected with 1.0 mg/kg Dex or saline and muscle samples were collected at 12 and 24 h. There was no effect of LPS on plasma cortisol at any of the time points measured. Injection with LPS increased the abundance of MyoD mRNA at 3 and 12 h, and decreased the abundance of MSTN mRNA at 24 h. There was no effect of Dex injection on the abundance of MyoD mRNA. However, Dex injection decreased the abundance of MSTN mRNA at 12 h post-injection. These results suggest that LPS regulates the expression of MyoD and MSTN independently of an increase in plasma cortisol, and that the regulation of MyoD in the channel catfish differs from mammals in response to inflammatory stimuli. These results also confirm that exogenous glucocorticoids decrease the expression of MSTN as shown in other fish species. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Complaints from the public due to odor emissions are one of the biggest problems associated with any biosolids land application program. Chemical additives to reduce or mask odors are one option for producers; however, many chemicals are too expensive or are too unstable to use safely. This project provides a preliminary evaluation of nitrate or nitrate + anthraquinone as additives in controlling odors from limed biosolids. Over a twenty-four day period, odors were measured in the headspace over several treatment levels using two different chemical analysis toots along with olfactometric evaluation of odor intensity and hedonic tone. On six days during the sample period, hydrogen sulfide was measured using a Jerome 631X, a sensor that also responds to other reduce sulfur gases. Other specific sulfides, amines, and mercaptans were also determined using solid phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry A simple sniff test approach was used with six panelists on five days during the project. The chemical analysis results revealed that the addition of nitrate and especially nitrate i anthraquinone was effective in reducing concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan when compared to untreated limed biosolids. However, the olfactometnc results did not reveal any significant differences between treatments. The panelists also found that all treatments exhibited a fishy or ammonical character, indicative of amines, or ammonia. More advance olfactometric analysis utilizing dilution techniques might have been able to distinguish between treatments, but it is likely that amines were the dominant odorant released from all treatments. This preliminary project suggests that chemical addition of nitrate or nitrate + anthraquinone would be most effective in controlling odors from unlimed biosolids such as anaerobically digested materials.

AB  - A diverse collection of modern, heirloom and specialty cultivars, plant introduction (PI) accessions, and breeding lines of lettuce were screened for susceptibility to lettuce dieback, which is a disease caused by soilborne viruses of the familyTombusviridae. Susceptibility was evaluated by visual symptom assessment in fields that had been previously shown to be infested withLettuce necrotic stunt virus. Of the 241 genotypes tested in multiple field experiments, 76 remained symptom-free in infested fields and were therefore classified as resistant to dieback. Overall, resistant genotypes were as prevalent among modern cultivars as in heirloom cultivars or primitive germplasm. Within modern germplasm, however, all crisphead (iceberg) cultivars were resistant, while all romaine cultivars were susceptible. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, tombusviruses were detected in leaves of some plants of resistant genotypes that were grown in infested fields, suggesting that symptom-free plants are not immune to viral infection. The inheritance of resistance was studied for ‘Salinas’, a modern iceberg cultivar, and PI 491224, the progenitor of recently released romaine germplasm with resistance to lettuce dieback. Resistance was conferred by a dominant allele at a single locus in both genotypes. The tombusvirus resistance locus from ‘Salinas’,Tvr1, was mapped in an intraspecificLactuca sativapopulation to a location that corresponds to linkage group 2 on the consensus map ofLactuca. The largest cluster of resistance genes in lettuce, theDm1/Dm3cluster, is found on this linkage group; however, the precise position ofTvr1relative to this cluster has not yet been determined. To our knowledge,Tvr1is the first tombusvirus resistance gene identified for any plant host. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: The mirid, Eccritotarsus catarinensis, was released in South Africa to aid in the biological control of waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). Post-release evaluations are needed to quantify the mirid’s impact on the weed in South Africa. The subtle feeding damage that it causes is not easily measured, but studies have shown that interactions with other plant stresses, e.g., plant competition, can often magnify impacts of plant-feeding insects. The impact of the mirid was therefore evaluated using an additive series analysis of competition between waterhyacinth and waterlettuce (Pistia stratiotes), as influenced by mirid herbivory. Competitive abilities of waterlettuce and waterhyacinth were determined using an inverse linear model with plant weight as the yield variable. In the absence of herbivory, waterhyacinth was 23 times more competitive than waterlettuce, but only 10 times more competitive when exposed to mirid feeding. Waterlettuce was only 0.9 times as aggressive as waterhyacinth that was free of herbivory, but 1.5 times as competitive when mirids were impacting waterhyacinth. Most importantly, in the presence of herbivory on waterhyacinth, interspecific competition coefficients from waterhyacinth on waterlettuce were no longer statistically significant. These results show that the mirid destabilizes waterhyacinth’s competitive interactions between these two floating plant species, although impacts were subtle. This insect is unlikely to be an effective agent by itself, but it will be a useful complement to the existing biological control agents in South Africa. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The IEEE Std-181-2003, which is a new standard on pulse techniques and definitions, has been recently published. This standard was written to replace the withdrawn IEEE standards, Std-181-1977 and Std-194-1977. The Std-181-2003 combines information from both of the withdrawn standards. The new standard has incorporated new definitions not contained in the withdrawn standards and deleted and clarified definitions contained in the withdrawn standards. The new standard also provides examples of different waveform types and incorporates algorithms for computing waveform parameters, both of which were not contained in the withdrawn standard. This paper introduces the Std-181-2003 by describing its contents and changes relative to the withdrawn standards. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Objective: To describe food sources of nutrient intake for white and African American adults in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD), and their use in the development of a regional food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) based on an earlier version of the National Cancer Institute's Health Habits and History Questionnaire.Design: We ranked food sources of energy, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals, and examined portion size distributions for 842 white and 857 African American residents aged 19 years and older, using 24-hour dietary intake recall data from a telephone survey of 36 LMD counties. These values were used to develop a regional FFQ, which was then field-tested with 100 subjects and revised to improve interpretability.Setting: The LMD region of the USA.Subjects: White and African American adult residents of the LMD.Results: LMD African Americans obtained more of their energy and nutrient intakes from poultry, processed meat, salty snacks, fruit drinks, pork and cornbread; and less from milk, alcohol, legumes, salad dressing, butter/margarine and sweetened tea than did white residents. Regional foods not on nationally used FFQs included grits, turnip greens, okra, ham hocks, chitterlings, crawfish, catfish, cracklings, jambalaya, potato logs, chicken and dumplings, and sweet potato pie. Based on responses during field-testing, the questionnaire was also designed to add four portion sizes for each food item, presented as questions, rather than in grid format.Conclusions: Regional food use patterns differ from national patterns and furthermore differ between African American and white adults in the LMD. The resulting Delta NIRI FFQ for Adults should contribute to improved assessment of usual intake for use in studies of diet and health in this region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a study focusing on global transcriptome response to ionic liquid by enterobacter lignolyticus bacterium. It shows that increasing ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride concentrations caused a change in SCF1 cell membrane composition by increasing cyclopropane fatty acids that help in stabilizing the cell membrane. It concludes that the bacteria can resist the toxic effects of ionic liquid by changing membrane permeability.

AB  - As a result of an US interagency avian influenza surveillance effort in wild birds, four isolates of influenza A viruses were initially identified as H7 by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) but subsequently identified as H16 through genetic sequence analysis. We report the development of internal primers for amplification and cycle-sequencing of the full-length H16 gene, increased detection of H16 within the US, and possible steric inhibition or cross-reaction between H7 and H16 antigens during the conventional HI assay. The latter could have critical implications for poultry operations if H16 viruses are detected and mistakenly reported as H7 viruses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The expansion of the dry grind ethanol industry provides a unique opportunity to introduce cellulose conversion technology to existing grain to ethanol plants, while enhancing ethanol yields by up to 14%, and decreasing the volume while increasing protein content of distiller’s grains. The technologies required are cellulose pretreatment, enzyme hydrolysis, fermentation, and drying. Laboratory data combined with compositional analysis and process simulations are used to present a comparative analysis of a dry grind process to a process with pretreatment and hydrolysis of cellulose in distiller’s grains. The additional processing steps are projected to give a 32% increase in net present value if process modifications are made to a 100 million gallon/year plant. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Modeling the radiation of anisotropically scattering media by coupling Mie theory with finite volume method

AB  - A new mathematical model and code for radiative heat transfer of particulate media with anisotropic scattering for 2-D rectangular enclosure is developed. The model is based on the coupling of (i) finite volume method for the solution of radiative transfer equation with (ii) Mie equations for the evaluation of scattering phase function. It has not been done before to the authors’ best knowledge. The predictions were compared against the only found results, published 15 years ago. For those results the S-N discrete ordinates method for the solution of radiative transfer equation and the Legendre polynomials expansions for the evaluation of scattering phase function were used. The agreement between the results is very good. The advantages of new model and code are in their straight forward application to any given particles parameters without the need for previously designed analytical expression for scattering phase function. In addition, that analytical expression, with generated expansion coefficients, is restricted and can be used only for that particular case of particle parameters. The new model was applied to the solid particles of several various coals and of an ash and the series of 2-D predictions are performed. The effects of particle size parameter and of scattering albedo on radiative heat flux and on incident radiation were analyzed. It was found that the model developed is reliable and very accurate and thus suitable for extension towards: (i) 3-D geometries, (ii) mixtures of non-gray gases with particles as well as for (iii) incorporation in computational fluid dynamics codes.

AB  - Abstract: Capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) separations of plant sterols and related esters were evaluated under various conditions. Stationary phases included octadecylsilica (C18) and triacontylsilica (C30). Mobile phases comprised acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffers in aqueous or non-aqueous systems. Apart from notable differences in component resolution, both C18 and C30 phases had dramatic influence on the elution behavior of the title compounds. Generally, C18 had greater selectivity for most components with elution patterns in consistence with the hydrophobicity of side chain structures, while no predictable trend of analyte elution was observed in CEC with C30. In the latter column systems, analyte separations appeared to be improved by conversion to benzoates or ferulates. Twenty-four-epimers of campesterol acetate and 7-campestenol acetate as well as the campesterol–stigmasterol pair were readily resolved by CEC with either phase. However, the cholesterol–stigmasterol pair was barely resolved and had an elution order opposite to that of their acetates or benzoates. Potential applicability of the CEC technique in the analysis of sterols and sterol ferulates in vegetable oil is demonstrated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The American consumer is obtaining more-and-more of his or her food at a restaurant, and that worries some people concerned with the Nation’s dietary health. To date, much of this concern seems to be directed at the fast food segment of the restaurant industry. This paper asks whether targeting one segment of the industry, such as fast food restaurants, is justified, or whether a more balanced view of eating away from home is required. To answer this question, we look to the future and ask whether Americans can be expected to purchase increasingly more fast food or more-and-more of the foods typically associated with full-service dining. One view is that sales at full-service restaurants will now grow relatively faster than sales of fast food. The argument supporting this position rests on rising incomes, the aging of the population, smaller household sizes, and other changes taking place in the population. Using a new full-information maximum likelihood procedure for estimating a system of censored expenditure equations, we find evidence to support this argument. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Clostridium perfringens is a natural contaminant of raw beef products that can proliferate to dangerous cell levels under conditions of temperature abuse. Spores of the bacterium were inoculated onto irradiated London broil beef at levels of 3 log10 spores/g beef. Samples of beef (7.5×10.0×1.0 cm) were treated with aqueous ozone (5 ppm O3 for 5 min), or heat (60°C for 30 min), or both and then vacuum-packaged to 2 kPa for up to 10 d storage at 37°C, 25°C, or 4°C. Storage at 37°C resulted in increases in viable counts after 1 d to over 7 log10 cfu/g beef, whereas storage at 4°C prevented spore germination and growth for all treatments. At 25°C, heat-treated beef samples reached 6 log10 cfu/g viable counts in 2 d and spores/vegetative cells on control or ozone-treated samples did not germinate or grow through the first day of vacuum-packaged storage. Modified atmospheres with increasing CO2 concentration were also compared with regard to bacterial survival during beef storage at 25°C. C. perfringens spores remained dormant in control and ozone-treated beef during a 10-d storage at 25°C. Pretreatment with heat increased germination and outgrowth during storage of beef, whereas ozone treatment and no treatment controls were effective in inhibiting spore germination and outgrowth in combination with increasing CO2 concentrations above 30% or refrigeration. These data support the avoidance of heat in the pretreatment of raw beef. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The lignification of xylem is an adaptive trait of great significance. Gymnosperms and angiosperms share an ancient, conserved set of enzymes that are regulated by a conserved transcription factor and that are responsible for the formation of guaiacyl lignin. Angiosperms have evolved at least two enzymes that catalyze the production of syringyl lignin. Association genetics is now being used to explore the adaptive significance of sequence variation in the genes that encode these monolignol biosynthetic enzymes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Desaturation of fatty acids is a key reaction in the biosynthesis of moth sex pheromones. The main component of Spodoptera littoralis sex pheromone blend is produced by the action of Δ11 and Δ9 desaturases. In this article, we report on the cloning of four desaturase-like genes in this species: one from the fat body (Sls-FL1) and three (Sls-FL2, Sls-FL3 and Sls-FL4) from the pheromone gland. By means of a computational/phylogenetic method, as well as functional assays, the desaturase gene products have been characterized. The fat body gene expressed a Δ9 desaturase that produced (Z)-9-hexadecenoic and (Z)-9-octadecenoic acids in a (1:4.5) ratio, whereas the pheromone gland Sls-FL2 expressed a Δ9 desaturase that produced (Z)-9-hexadecenoic and (Z)-9-octadecenoic acids in a (1.5:1) ratio. Although both Δ9 desaturases produced (Z)-9-tetradecenoic acid from myristic acid, transformed yeast grown in the presence of a mixture of myristic and (E)-11-tetradecenoic acids produced (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienoic acid, but not (Z)-9-tetradecenoic acid. The Sls-FL3 gene expressed a protein that produced a mixture of (E)-11-tetradecenoic, (Z)-11-tetradecenoic, (Z)-11-hexadecenoic and (Z)-11-octadecenoic acids in a 5:4:60:31 ratio. Despite having all the characteristics of a desaturase gene, no function could be found for Sls-FL4. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Genogroup I noroviruses from five genetic clusters and genogroup II noroviruses from eight genetic clusters were detected in stool extracts using degenerate primers and single-tube, real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) with SYBR Green detection. Two degenerate primer sets, designated MON 431-433 and MON 432-434, were designed from consensus sequences from the major clusters of norovirus based on the RNA. dependent RNA polymerase region of the norovirus genome. Viruses were extracted from stool samples within 20 min using a viral RNA extraction kit. Real-time RT-PCR for noroviruses generated semiquantitative results by means of the cycle threshold data and dilution endpoint standard curves. Presumptive product verification was achieved by evaluation of first-derivative melt graphs. Multiple clusters of noroviruses were identified simultaneously in a multiplex fashion by virtue of slight differences in melting temperature. The detection of 13 different genetic clusters suggests that the MON primers may serve as universal primers for most, if not all, of the noroviruses in a multiplex assay. Our technique provides a framework for broad application of real-time RT-PCR in clinical, environmental, and food testing laboratories for a wide range of noroviruses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Campylobacter jejuni is prevalent in poultry, but the effect of combined refrigerated and frozen storage on its survival, conditions relevant to poultry processing and storage, has not been evaluated. Therefore, the effects of refrigeration at 4°C, freezing at -20°C, and a combination of refrigeration and freezing on the survival of C. jejuni in ground chicken and on chicken skin were examined. Samples were enumerated using tryptic soy agar containing sheep's blood and modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate agar. Refrigerated storage alone for 3 to 7 days produced a reduction in cell counts of 0.34 to 0.81 log10 CFU/g in ground chicken and a reduction in cell counts of 0.31 to 0.63 log10 CFU/g on chicken skin. Declines were comparable for each sample type using either plating medium. Frozen storage, alone and with prerefrigeration, produced a reduction in cell counts of 0.56 to 1.57 log10 CFU/g in ground chicken and a reduction in cell counts of 1.38 to 3.39 log10 CFU/g on chicken skin over a 2-week period. The recovery of C. jejuni following freezing was similar on both plating media. The survival following frozen storage was greater in ground chicken than on chicken skin with or without prerefrigeration. Cell counts after freezing were lower on chicken skin samples that had been prerefrigerated for 7 days than in those that had been prerefrigerated for 0, 1, or 3 days. This was not observed for ground chicken samples, possibly due to their composition. C. jejuni survived storage at 4 and -20°C with either sample type. This study indicates that, individually or in combination, refrigeration and freezing are not a substitute for safe handling and proper cooking of poultry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) method was developed in support of a study to assess potential tertiary risks posed to insectivores by strychnine baited pocket gophers (Thomomys sp.). Necropholous insects are primary consumers of pocket gopher carcasses. A field study was conducted to collect insects from strychnine-baited and control pocket gopher carcasses. The majority of the insects collected were from the orders Diptera (flies, assayed separately as adults and larvae), Coleoptera (beetles), and Hymenoptera (ants and wasps, assayed separately). Samples (0.5g) were extracted in acetic acid (2%) and analyzed with the mass spectrometer configured for tandem mass spectrometry. For most of the samples the strychnine concentrations were less than the method limit of detection. However, strychnine concentrations as high as 0.338, 0.341, 0.698, and 0.034μg/g were detected in ants, fly adults, fly larvae, and beetles, respectively. This information collected with the HPLC/MS method is critical for assessing potential non-target hazards for insectivores. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: Jet substructure and differential cross sections for jets produced in the photoproduction and deep inelastic ep scattering regimes have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of . The substructure of jets has been studied in terms of the jet shape and subjet multiplicity for jets with transverse energies . The data are well described by the QCD calculations. The jet shape and subjet multiplicity are used to tag gluon- and quark-initiated jets. Jet cross sections as functions of , jet pseudorapidity, the jet–jet scattering angle, dijet invariant mass and the fraction of the photon energy carried by the dijet system are presented for gluon- and quark-tagged jets. The data exhibit the behaviour expected from the underlying parton dynamics. A value of of was extracted from the measurements of jet shapes in deep inelastic scattering. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The high-pressure (100–2800kPa) hydrogen permeance of two membranes, each composed of a thin palladium film (∼22μm) deposited on the oxidized surface of a porous stainless steel tubular substrate (0.2μm grade support) has been determined over the 623–723K temperature range. The hydrogen flux was proportional to the H2 partial pressure in the retentate raised to an exponent of ∼0.55 for one membrane and ∼0.64 for the other, indicating that the transport of hydrogen through the composite membrane was primarily limited by bulk diffusion. Overall, the hydrogen permeance of these membranes was within a wide range of values previously reported with thin film palladium membranes of comparable thickness. The first membrane exhibited no detectable helium flux at hydrogen partial pressures less than 350kPa for a retentate stream composed of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. H2/He selectivity decreased to values as low as 12, however, at total transmembrane pressure differentials as great as 2800kPa. As the membranes were heated from 623 to 723K under pressures of up to 2800kPa, the permeance of each membrane remained invariant at values of ∼1.5 × 10-4 and ∼2.9 × 10-4mol/(m2sPa0.5), then decreased by ∼35% when the membrane was cooled back to 623K, indicating some degradation of the membranes under the high-pressure testing conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that extremes in the palladium film thickness ranged from about 10–50μm with palladium “fingers” extending into the pore structure anchoring the palladium layer to the support. Although surface characterization could not pinpoint the source of the degradation, intermetallic diffusion could not be ruled out in spite of the presence of the oxide layer.

AB  - A pore-level network model was used to study miscible, vertical, two-phase fluid displacements. Gravitationally unstable and stable flow configurations were explored with the Darcy–Rayleigh number <f>(G)</f> for a number of viscosity ratios <f>(M)</f>. Simulations were compared with experimental results for corresponding values of <f>G</f> and <f>M</f> using interfacial width and breakthrough saturation as comparison criteria. Good agreement between the model and experimental results was observed. For gravitationally stable flows, a critical value of <f>G</f>, <f>Gc≈-0.02</f>, was obtained from simulation results compared to an experimental value of <f>Gc≈-0.017</f> found in the current literature. The transition from gravitationally stable to unstable flow was shown by decreased interfacial stability resulting in dramatically higher values of interfacial width (simulation) and dispersivity (experimental). Breakthrough saturations for gravitationally stable experimental flow configurations differed only a small amount from simulation results when considering the large length-to-width ratios of the experimental cores used for comparison.

AB  - This paper demonstrates the capability of the tangential-radiography technique to detect internal and external pits and to measure their depths on corroded large-diameter insulated and noninsulated carbon-steel and stainless-steel pipes. Tangential-radiography technique, with special care, was successfully applied on specially designed 8-in (219 mm) and 12-in (324 mm) reference steel pipes having inside- and outside-machined steps of different thicknesses and inside and outside artificial pits of different diameters and depths on them. The application of this technique on the two reference pipes, with and without insulation, gave 98% accuracy in the determination of the pits’ depths when the pits are outside the pipes and their depths are equal to or greater than 10% of the pipe-wall thicknesses, and 96% accuracy when the pits are inside the pipes and their depths are equal to or greater than 15% of the pipe-wall thicknesses.

AB  - Abstract: The morphogenesis of ovaries and the organization of germ cells within them were visualized during the larval stages of the moth, Plodia interpunctella. The germ cells were observed by utilizing confocal microscopy coupled with immuno-fluorescent staining for the α-crystallin protein 25 (αCP25). The αCP25 was previously shown to be specific to germ cells of pupae and adults, and this study shows that αCP25 is present in larval germ cells as well. A cluster of 28 germ cells that stain for αCP25 was found in the gonads of newly hatched first instar larvae. The founding germ cells became segregated into four clusters, most likely by somatic cell intrusion, around the beginning of the second instar. Division of the primary germ cells began by the end of the second instar and the formation of all cystoblasts appeared to be completed within the four ovarioles by the end of the third instar. Within the ovarioles of third instar larvae, the germ cells were organized with a distal cap of seven germ cells which was segregated from the majority of the germ cells. The main body of germ cells was arranged around a central germ cell-free core as a spiral. Divisions of the cystoblasts to form cystocyte clusters were nearly completed during the fourth (last) larval instar. These features suggest that the strategy to produce follicles in moths is fundamentally different from the fruitfly, Drosophila. It appears that during the initial stages of ovary development in P. interpunctella, the primary germ cells undergo stage-complete divisions that are completed prior to the onset of the next set of divisions, which results in a complete complement of follicles available by the time of adult eclosion, while in Drosophila the primary germ cell divisions are initiated in the adult stage, and follicles are produced individually as resources are available.

AB  - The cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating the reuptake of the testicular fluid supporting sperm exiting the testes in the bird are not known. The presence of aquaporins, proteins involved in transmembrane water transport, was investigated. Observations were limited to the ductuli efferentes, collecting ducts, and ductus epididymis. Interestingly all of these ducts were positive for aquaporins-2, -3, and -9 but not aquaporin-7. When positive, aquaporin was observed localized over the whole cell or the apical plasma membrane of the nonciliated cells and the apical plasma membrane and cilia of the ciliated cells. This study is the first to clearly demonstrate the presence of aquaporins-2, -3, and -9 in the epididymal region of any bird. We assume the aquaporins play a role in concentrating the sperm and in the promotion of sperm maturation in the epididymal region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The antioxidant capacity (measured as oxygen radical absorbance capacity, ORAC), total anthocyanins, total phenolics, aroma compounds, and postharvest quality of strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa cv. Chandler) kept at 0°C, 5°C, and 10°C were investigated. Strawberry fruit stored at 10°C or 5°C showed higher antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, and anthocyanins than those stored at 0°C. However, the postharvest life based on overall quality was longer at 0°C than at 5°C or 10°C. The production of aroma compounds was markedly influenced by storage time and temperature. Individual aroma compounds were affected differently. For example, ethyl hexanoate, hexyl acetate, methyl acetate, and butyl acetate increased, while 3-hexenyl acetate and methyl hexanoate decreased during storage. In general, strawberries stored at 10°C or 5°C produced higher levels of these volatiles than those stored at 0°C. In conclusion, strawberries stored at 0°C retained an acceptable overall quality for the longest storage duration; however, berries stored at temperatures higher than 0°C showed higher content of aroma compounds and antioxidant capacity during the postharvest period.

AB  - Potatoes and tomatoes, members of the Solanaceae plant family, serve as major, inexpensive low-fat food sources providing for energy, high-quality protein, fiber, vitamins, pigments, as well as other nutrients. These crops also produce biologically active secondary metabolites, which may have both adverse and beneficial effects in the diet. This limited overview, based largely on our studies with the aid of HPLC, TLC, ELISA, GC–MS, and UV spectroscopy, covers analytical aspects of two major potato trisaccharide glycoalkaloids, α-chaconine and α-solanine, and their hydrolysis products (metabolites) with two, one, and zero carbohydrate groups; the potato water-soluble nortropane alkaloids calystegine A3 and B2; the principal potato polyphenolic compound chlorogenic acid; potato inhibitors of digestive enzymes; the tomato tetrasaccharide glycoalkaloids dehydrotomatine and α-tomatine and hydrolysis products; the tomato pigments β-carotene, lycopene, and chlorophyll; and the anticholinergic alkaloids atropine and scopolamine present in Datura stramonium (jimson weed) seeds that contaminate grain and animal feed. Related studies by other investigators are also mentioned. Accurate analytical methods for these food ingredients help assure the consumer of eating a good-quality and safe diet.

AB  - Abstract: The electrophoretic mobilities of individual DNA molecules were determined by using fluorescence imaging. The average mobility agreed well with that obtained in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) did not decrease in the presence of up to 8% plasma or 8% raw blood. Single-molecule detection was still possible in the presence of 50% raw blood. Single-molecule CE of two differently labeled molecules was carried out in the presence of a transmission grating. Even when the mobility difference is not sufficient because of low S/N, identification using different fluorescence wavelengths can be performed at >99% accuracy. So, when small differences in DNA sequence due to disease or mutation can lead to hybridization to labels with different dyes, the screening of the mutated DNA will be facilitated by online spectroscopy in addition to the electrophoretic information from CE.

AB  - Abstract: Iron–gallium alloys can produce magnetostrictions of ∼400 ppm and might function as mechanically robust actuator/sensing materials. Single crystal specimens of Fe-17 at.% Ga were tested in tension at room temperature. Specimens with a [110] tensile axis orientation exhibited {110}〈111〉 slip and an ultimate tensile strength of 580 MPa through 1.6% elongation. The Young’s modulus was 160 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson’s ratio of −0.37 on the (100) major face. A specimen with a [100] tensile axis orientation exhibited {211}〈111〉 slip and discontinuous yielding. A maximum tensile strength of 515 MPa was observed with fracture occurring after 2% elongation. The Young’s modulus was 65 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson’s ratio of 0.45 on the (001) major face. A sizeable elastic anisotropy of 19.9 was identified for Fe-27.2 at.% Ga accompanied by a Poisson’s ratio of −0.75 to produce a large in-plane auxetic behavior. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The total visible cross section is . The next-to-leading order QCD prediction lies about 2.5 standard deviations below the data. The differential cross sections are in general consistent with the NLO QCD predictions; however at low values of , Bjorken x, and muon transverse momentum, and high values of jet transverse energy and muon pseudorapidity, the prediction is about two standard deviations below the data.

AB  - The diffraction-limited spot size of synchrotron-based IR microscopes provides cell-specific, spectrochemical imaging of cleared leaf, stem and root tissues of the model genetic organism Arabidopsis thaliana, and mutant plants created either by T-DNA insertional inactivation or chemical mutagenesis. Spectra in the wavelength region from 6 to 12 μm provide chemical and physical information on the cell wall polysaccharides of mutants lacking particular biosynthetic enzymes (“Cellulose synthase-like” genes). In parallel experiments, synchrotron IR microscopy delineates the role of Arabidopsis cell wall enzymes as susceptibility factors to the fungus Erysiphe cichoracearum, a causative agent of powdery mildew disease. Three genes, pmr4, pmr5, and pmr6 have been characterized by these methods, and biochemical relations between two of the genes suggested by IR spectroscopy and multivariate statistical techniques could not have been inferred through classical molecular biology. In ecological experiments, live plants can also be imaged in small microcosms with mid-IR transmitting ZnSe windows. Small exudate molecules may be spatially mapped in relation to root architecture at diffraction-limited resolution, and the effect of microbial symbioses on the quantity and quality of exudates inferred. Synchrotron IR microscopy provides a useful adjunct to molecular biological methods and underground observatories in the ongoing assessment of the role of root–soil–microbe communication.

AB  - The hydrogen permeance of several 0.1 mm thick Pd–Cu alloy foils (80 wt.% Pd–20 wt.% Cu, 60 wt.% Pd–40 wt.% Cu and 53 wt.% Pd–47 wt.% Cu) was evaluated using transient flux measurements at temperatures ranging from 603 to 1123 K and pressures up to 620 kPa both in the presence and absence of 1000 ppm H2S. Sulfur resistance, as evidenced by no significant change in permeance, was correlated with the temperatures associated with the face-centered-cubic crystalline structure for the alloys in this study. The permeance of the body-centered cubic phase, however, was up to two orders of magnitude lower when exposed to H2S. A smooth transition from sulfur poisoning to sulfur resistance with increasing temperature was correlated with the alloy transition from a body-centered-cubic structure to a face-centered-cubic structure.

AB  - The triboelectrostatic separation and extraction of Slovak brown coal samples—untreated and microwave-treated, were analyzed. The changes in the coal structure as a result of interaction between the microwave radiation and the coal facilitated improvements to the process of separation and extraction of the coal. In the case of microwave-treated coal at a power of 900 W for a period of 10 min it was possible to obtain increased content of volatile substances to 44 wt% compared to 30 wt% in the untreated sample and decrease of ash content from 49 to 18.3 wt%. The quality of triboelectrostatic separation of microwave irradiated and non-irradiated coal samples was evaluated by comparing the recoveries of the combustible matter and ash. The influence of microwaves on the extraction of coal was also positive: the preliminary thin layer chromatographic analysis of 2 min microwave irradiated and non-irradiated coal extracts confirmed the effect of microwaves on qualitative organic matter composition in the extracts utilizable for special purposes.

AB  - A study was conducted in the 2001 growing season to examine the relative abundance, dispersion and distribution of the potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae) among trees of 24 red maple (Acer rubrum) clonal selections. Yellow sticky traps hung from the trees were used to estimate the relative number of aerial potato leafhoppers among trees, starting on 1 May 2001 and stopping on 4 September 2001. More insects were collected from the east side of the plot than from the other sides in May, but no differences were significant late in the season. Few leafhoppers were collected during May, but the number of leafhoppers collected on traps rapidly increased and peaked during June. Afterwards, populations decreased and just a few individuals were trapped late in the season. Overall, significantly more leafhoppers were caught on traps hanging from trees of clone 56026 and 55410 than on trees of the other clones. Dispersion of the potato leafhopper changed from being aggregated in May, to being random in August, and also differed among the different clones. Populations tended to aggregate with increases in population numbers. Positive significant autocorrelations were detected at short distances in May, suggesting an aggregated spatial pattern early in the season. Yet, different autocorrelation patterns were detected within each block later in the season. Our results indicate that management practices could be developed to minimise pesticide use by targeting smaller areas with the highest populations at the right time of the season.

AB  - Tomato cultivars respond differently to nitrogen (N) sources and to saline conditions, in terms of both yield and fruit quality. Interactions between salinity and ratios with tomato genotypes were studied. The effect of four ammonium levels (0, 1, 2, 4 mM of total 8 mM N) and two salinity levels (0 and 45 mM NaCl) on cv. “R-144”, and the effect of two salinity levels (0 and 45 mM NaCl) on four tomato hybrids (“R-144”, “R-175”, “FA612”, and “FA624”) were studied in two greenhouse experiments. The effects of two levels, (0 and 2 mM out of total N at 8 mM), and two salinity levels (0 and 20 mM NaCl) on large-fruit (“R-144”) and small-fruit (“FA612”) tomato hybrids were also studied in a net-house. The NaCl at 45 mM resulted in a smaller leaf area index (LAI), lower plant dry matter and lower fruit yield than controls. Addition of 1 mM to the nutrient solution contributed to improved growth. Genotypes bearing large fruits were more prone to suffer yield losses under saline conditions than those with small fruits. In the second experiment, salinity treatment resulted in improved fruit TSS, EC and titratable acidity in all of the hybrids except of “FA612”. Fruit TSS was inversely correlated with yield. However, the ratio in TSS decline versus yield varied among the hybrids. At mild salinity (20 mM NaCl), fruit TSS and titratable acidity were significantly increased in “R-144” while yield was slightly decreased. Transpiration rate decreased with the presence of ammonium in the nutrient solution in both hybrids. The highest and lowest values were obtained for “FA612” and “R-144”, respectively. The detrimental effect of salinity is mainly attributed to the decrease in LAI and the subsequent reduction in water uptake, resulting in low fruit weight. Addition of 1 mM ammonium to 7 mM nitrate in the nutrient solution had an ameliorating effect on tomato fruit yield under salinity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The aflT gene resides between the polyketide synthase gene pksA and the P450-encoding cypA gene in the aflatoxin gene cluster of Aspergillus parasiticus. It is a single copy gene in the genome of A. parasiticus SRRC 2043 and SU-1 and was also found at the same relative position in the genome of Aspergillus flavus isolates. The predicted AFLT protein contained 14 transmembrane domains and had various degrees of the amino acid identity (34–56%) to fungal transporters belonging to the major facilitator superfamily. Targeted deletion of aflT in A. parasiticus SU-1 yielded transformants that were morphologically similar to SU-1. These aflT-deleted mutants produced and secreted aflatoxins comparable to the parental strain although they lost the production of the aflT transcript. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of aflT was controlled neither by the aflatoxin pathway-specific activator AFLR nor by the co-activator AFLJ, which differed from the regulation of the aflatoxin biosynthetic genes pksA, nor1, ver1, and omtA. The FadA-dependent G-protein signaling pathway previously shown to govern aflatoxin biosynthesis and sporulation plays a role in the regulation of aflT expression. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Highly virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates are List A pathogens for commercial poultry, and reports of their isolation among member nations must be made to the Office of International Epizootes (OIE). The virus is classified as a member of the order Mononegavirales in the family Paramyxoviridae of the subfamily Paramyxovirinae. Two interactive surface glycoproteins, the fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) proteins, play essential roles in NDV attachment and fusion of cells during infection. Antibodies to the F or HN proteins are capable of virus neutralization; however, no full-length sequences are available for these genes from recently obtained virulent isolates. Therefore, nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences of the F and HN protein genes from 16 NDV isolates representing highly virulent viruses from worldwide sources were obtained for comparison to older virulent isolates and vaccine strains. The F protein amino acid sequence was relatively conserved among isolates maintaining potential glycosylation sites and C residues for disulfide bonds. A dibasic amino acid motif was present at the cleavage site among more virulent isolates, while the low virulence viruses did not have this sequence. However, a Eurasian collared dove virus had a K114Q substitution at the F cleavage site unique among NDV isolates. The HN protein among NDV isolates maintained predicted catalytic and active site residues necessary for neuraminidase activity and hemagglutination. Length of the HN for the Eurasian collared dove isolate and a previously reported heat resistant virulent isolate were longer relative to other more recent virulent isolates. Phylogenetically NDV isolates separated into four groups with more recent virulent isolates forming a diverse branch, while all the avian paramyxoviruses formed their own clade distinct from other members of the Paramyxoviridae.

AB  - Objective: To examine global food demand patterns and how changing diets may stimulate demand for and trade of Mediterranean diet products.Design: Literature review. Trends in global and US food consumption patterns are examined and trade data are reviewed to evaluate the impact of changing diets on trade of Mediterranean diet products. Market access issues are also addressed briefly to highlight the role of policy in the trade of Mediterranean diet products.Results: Diets are shifting towards higher-value products such as meats, fruits and vegetables, and a wider array of packaged food products. Trade in these products has also grown in the past two decades, with several non-traditional importers and exporters becoming increasingly active in the global market.Conclusions: Income-driven demands for quality and variety are likely to increase the demand for Mediterranean diet products globally. While the middle-income countries appear to be the best growth prospects, the USA remains a potential growth market if these products can meet the growing consumer demand for variety, quality and convenience. Although consumer trends globally indicate growth in demand for Mediterranean diet products, the additional demand may not be reflected by a corresponding growth in trade. Trade in Mediterranean diet products continues to be hampered by higher than average trade barriers and high transportation costs for perishables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is the most common cause of vesicular disease outbreaks in livestock throughout the Western Hemisphere. Two major serotypes, Indiana and New Jersey, cause epidemic disease in pigs, cattle, and horses. We generated recombinant viruses derived from the Indiana serotype genome that were engineered to contain and express: (1) a single copy of the glycoprotein gene from the Indiana serotype (VSIV-GI); (2) a single copy of the glycoprotein gene from the New Jersey serotype (VSIV-GNJ); or (3) two copies of the glycoprotein gene, one from each of the two major VSV serotypes (VSIV-GNJGI) [Martinez I, Rodriguez LL, Jimenez C, Pauszek SJ, Wertz GW. Vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein is a determinant of pathogenesis in swine, a natural host. J Virol 2003;77(14):8039–47]. These recombinant viruses and a highly pathogenic New Jersey field isolate (VSNJV), from which the GNJ gene was derived, were inoculated into swine, a natural host, and the induction of neutralizing antibodies to both serotypes was analyzed. The neutralizing antibody response induced by VSIV-GI, VSIV-GNJ and VSNJV was serotype-specific, according to the glycoprotein expressed. VSIV-GNJGI expressed both glycoproteins stably through multiple rounds of replication in swine and induced neutralizing antibodies against both VSV serotypes, with a dominance of the Indiana serotype in the serological response. Pigs immunized with VSIV-GI or VSIV-GNJ were protected against homologous high dose virus challenge. Pigs inoculated with VSIV-GNJGI were protected against challenge with VSIV-GI but three of four animals developed lesions after challenge with the highly pathogenic New Jersey field isolate.

AB  - Microstructural and mechanical properties of extruded pectin and glycerol films with various combinations of orange albedo and starch were determined by universal mechanical testing (UMT), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A glass transition and a second order transition attributed to the onset of translational motion of the pectin molecules was observed in all films. Observation by OM suggested that extrusion in the presence of dilute HCl was more effective in disintegrating albedo than either water or dilute citric acid. UMT, DMA and SEM analysis revealed that extruded pectin/albedo/starch/glycerol films provided better mechanical properties than pectin/albedo/glycerol films and were comparable in mechanical properties to extruded pectin/starch/glycerol films.

AB  - Respiratory tract infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a recently discovered respiratory pathogen of the Paramyxovirus family in the Metapneumovirus genus. HMPV was first isolated from young children in The Netherlands with respiratory illness similar to human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Epidemiological data indicates that HMPV co-circulates with RSV in the community. Few immunological tools are available to study the virological features of HMPV infection, thus current studies rely on reverse-transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection. In this study, we examine serological cross-reactivity of RSV, HMPV and other Metapneumovirus members, i.e. avian metapneumovirus (AMPV), and show that polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies reactive to a conserved region in AMPV nucleoprotein (N) cross-react with HMPV N protein, but not with RSV N protein by ELISA, Western blot and immunohistochemical assays. In addition, we show that HMPV infection in the lungs of BALB/c mice can be detected using anti-N protein antibody. These reagents provide new tools and methods for investigating HMPV infection, for differentiating HMPV from RSV infection, and may be useful for characterizing potential links between HMPV with other respiratory complications.

AB  - Abstract: We have used ab initio calculations to examine various properties of YAg and YCu, two members of a class of fully ordered stoichiometric intermetallics with the CsCl-type B2 lattice. These two alloys, and numerous similar compounds, have been found to have significant polycrystalline ductility, in some cases exceeding 20% ductility in tension. Calculated bulk properties are consistent with experimental data, where available, including lattice parameters, elastic constants, and stability with respect to the B27 FeB structure. Anti-phase boundary energies are large, consistent with the high degree of orders in these systems, and with the absence of b=〈111〉 slip in single crystal experiments. However, unstable stacking faults associated with b=〈100〉 slip are quite low, in contrast with NiAl where these energies exceed those of the anti-phase boundaries. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Superoxide dismutases (SODs) catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals in a broad range of organisms, including plants. Quantification of SOD activity in crude plant extracts has been problematic due to the presence of compounds that interfere with the dose–response of the assay. Although strategies exist to partially purify SODs from plant extracts, the requirement for purification limits the rapidity and practical number of assays that can be conducted. In this article, we describe modification of a procedure using o-dianisidine as substrate that permits relatively rapid quantification of SOD activity in crude leaf extracts in a microplate format. The method employs the use of a commercial apparatus that permits lysis of 12 tissue samples at once and the use of Pipes buffer to reduce interference from compounds present in crude leaf extracts. The assay provided a linear response from 1 to 50units of SOD. The utility of the assay was demonstrated using tissue extracts prepared from a group of taxonomically diverse plants. Reaction rates with tissue extracts from two grasses were linear for at least 60min. Tissues of certain species contained interfering compounds, most of which could be removed by ultrafiltration. The presence of plant catalases, peroxidases, and ascorbate in physiological quantities did not interfere with the assay. This approach provides a means to quantify SOD activity in relatively large numbers of plant samples provided that the possibility for the presence of interfering compounds is considered.

AB  - We present two sets of explicit relations for the equilibrium fugacities of single-guest gas hydrates. These relations can be applied whether the hydrate is dissociated under bulk conditions, or in porous media. The first set of presented relations explicitly shows the dependence of the equilibrium fugacity and the enthalpy of dissociation on classical statistical thermodynamic parameters. The second set of relations for the fugacity and enthalpy represent a very simple empirical form which can be used to calculate these quantities, without having to resort to the use of the full statistical thermodynamic model. It is hoped that these relations will prove useful in engineering or computational endeavors where the speed and/or ease of their use may be advantageous. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An europium-sensitized time-resolved luminescence (TRL) method was developed to determine oxytetracycline (OTC) in cultivated catfish muscle. Extraction of OTC from fish muscle was performed with pH 4.0 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-McIlvaine buffer and clean up with hydrophilic–lipophilic balanced copolymer solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The eluate was used without further concentration for TRL measurement in pH 9.0 micellar tris(hydroxylmethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) buffer. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTACl) was used as surfactant and EDTA as a co-ligand. The excitation and emission wavelengths were set at 388 and 615 nm, respectively. The linear dynamic range was 0–1000 ng g-1 (<F>R2=0.9995</F>). The recovery was 92–112% in the fortification range of 50–200 ng g-1 and the limits of detection (LOD) ranged from 3 to 7 ng g-1. Incurred catfish samples were used to demonstrate the performance of the method around 100 ng g-1, the European Union maximum residue level. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The exclusive electroproduction of <f>J/ψ</f> mesons, <f>ep→epJ/ψ</f>, has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA for virtualities of the exchanged photon in the ranges <f>0.15<Q2<0.8 GeV2</f> and <f>2<Q2<100 GeV2</f> using integrated luminosities of 69 and <f>83 pb-1</f>, respectively. The photon–proton centre-of-mass energy was in the range <f>30<W<220 GeV</f> and the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex <f>&z.sfnc;t&z.sfnc;<1 GeV2</f>. The cross sections and decay angular distributions are presented as functions of <f>Q2</f>, <f>W</f> and <f>t</f>. The effective parameters of the pomeron trajectory are in agreement with those found in <f>J/ψ</f> photoproduction. The spin-density matrix elements, calculated from the decay angular distributions, are consistent with the hypothesis of <f>s</f>-channel helicity conservation. The ratio of the longitudinal to transverse cross sections, <f>σL/σT</f>, grows with <f>Q2</f>, whilst no dependence on <f>W</f> or <f>t</f> is observed. The results are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations and exhibit a strong sensitivity to the gluon distribution in the proton. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ionizing radiation is a safe and effective method for eliminating bacterial pathogens from food products and disinfestation of fruits and vegetables. Since 1980 research has been conducted at USDA''s Eastern Regional Research Center pertaining to the elimination of food-borne pathogens from meat, poultry, fruit and vegetable products. Recent work has focused on elimination of pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes from ready-to-eat (RTE) food products including hot dogs, bologna, lettuce, cilantro, sprouts and seeds, and frozen vegetables. The ionizing radiation dose required to eliminate those pathogens from RTE foods has been found to be commodity, formulation and temperature dependent. The need to eliminate bacterial pathogens from RTE food products must always be balanced with the maintenance of product quality. In addition to determining the effective ionizing radiation doses required for pathogen elimination the effects of irradiation on product chemistry, nutritional value and organoleptic quality have also been determined. A review of the studies conducted at USDA''s Eastern Regional Research Center in 2002 and 2003 is presented in this article. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Isolation and biologic and molecular attributes of Neospora caninum from three littermate dogs are described. Tissue cysts were confined to the brain and striated muscles. N. caninum was isolated (isolates NC-6, NC-7, and NC-8) in rodents and cell culture that had been inoculated with brain tissue from the dogs. Schizont-like stages reactive with N. caninum antibodies were seen in cell cultures seeded with bradyzoites released from Percoll-isolated N. caninum tissue cysts from the brain of one dog. Tissue cysts were infective orally to mice and gerbils, but not to cats and dogs. The isolates were also identified as N. caninum by PCR and sequence analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In the mycotoxigenic oilseed pathogens Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and the model filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives act as important developmental signals that affect asexual conidiospore, sexual ascospore and/or sclerotial development. To dissect the relationship between lipid metabolism and fungal development, an A. parasiticus Δ12-desaturase mutant that was unable to convert oleic acid to linoleic acid and was thus impaired in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis was generated. The Δ12-desaturase mutant demonstrates delayed spore germination, a twofold reduction in growth, a reduced level of conidiation and complete loss of sclerotial development, compared to the wild-type. Host colonization is impaired, as reflected by a decrease in conidial production on live peanut and corn seed by the mutant compared to the wild-type. Similarly, the previously isolated A. nidulans Δ12-desaturase mutant has reduced colonization capabilities compared to the wild-type. Therefore, desaturation mutants display a key requisite that affords a genetic solution to oilseed crop contamination by mycotoxigenic Aspergillus species: a reduction in the production of conidia, the infectious particle of the pathogenic aspergilli.

AB  - In this study, we present a method for determining the fastest moving particle (FMP) and residence time distribution (RTD) in a pilot-scale high temperature, short time (HTST) pasteurizer to ensure that laboratory or pilot-scale HTST apparatus meets the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance standards for pasteurization of milk and can be used for obtaining thermal inactivation data. The overall dimensions of the plate in the pasteurizer were 75 x 115 mm, with a thickness of 0.5 mm and effective diameter of 3.0 mm. The pasteurizer was equipped with nominal 21.5- and 52.2-s hold tubes, and flow capacity was variable from 0 to 20 L/h. Tracer studies were used to determine FMP times and RTD data to establish flow characteristics. Using brine milk as tracer, the FMP time for the short holding section was 18.6 s and for the long holding section was 36 s at 72°C, compared with the nominal times of 21.5 and 52.2 s, respectively. The RTD study indicates that the short hold section was 45% back mixed and 55% plug flow for whole milk at 72°C. The long hold section was 91% plug and 9% back mixed for whole milk at 72°C. This study demonstrates that continuous laboratory and pilot-scale pasteurizers may be used to study inactivation of microorganisms only if the flow conditions in the holding tube are established for comparison with commercial HTST systems.

AB  - Silver ion chromatography (Ag-HPLC), utilizing columns packed with silver ions bonded to a silica or similar substrate, has proven to be a powerful technique for the analytical separation of cis and trans geometric and positional fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and triacylglycerol (TAG) isomers. In this manuscript, we utilize an HPLC column chiller/heater to study the effects of Ag-HPLC column temperatures on elution rates of FAME and TAG isomers. Two Varian ChromSpher lipids columns connected in series and isocratic solvent systems of 1.0% or 1.5% acetonitrile (ACN) in hexane were used to analyze FAMEs (zero to six double bonds; cis/trans isomers), TAGs (homogeneous (triacetyl-, tristearoyl-, trioleoyl-, trilinoeyl- and trilinolenoyl-glycerols) and positional (1,3-distearoyl,2-monolinolenoyl- and 1,2-distearoyl, 3-monolinolenoylglycerol, etc.)) mixtures at four different temperatures (10 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C or 40 °C). Unexpectedly, the unsaturated FAME and TAG samples were found to elute more slowly at higher temperatures, a result just the opposite to the usual temperature effect (where samples elute more rapidly at higher temperatures) noted in gas and most liquid (reversed-phase or silica gel substrates) chromatography systems. This effect in Ag-HPLC may be limited to hexane-based solvent systems (it does not seem to occur with chlorinated hydrocarbon-based solvents); its magnitude is directly related to the total number of double bonds in the sample. It is also more evident with cis than with trans double bonds. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and, in mammalian cells, functions as neuroleukin, autocrine motility factor (AMF), and differentiation and maturation factor (MF). We isolated and characterized PGI with a novel lysyl aminopeptidase (LysAP) activity (PGI-LysAP) from Vibrio vulnificus. Mass spectrometry revealed that PGI-LysAP is a heterodimer consisting of 23.4- and 60.8-kDa subunits. Only the heterodimer displayed LysAP activity. PGI-LysAP has a pI around 6.0 and high specificity toward the synthetic, fluorogenic substrate l-lysyl-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin. LysAP activity is optimal at pH 8.0, is 64% higher at 37 °C than at 21 °C, does not directly correlate with virulence, and is strongly inhibited by serine protease and metalloprotease inhibitors. PGI-LysAP was also identified in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae, but was absent from non-Vibrio human pathogens. Sequencing of the pgi gene revealed 1653 bp coding for a 550-amino-acid protein. Cloned and expressed PGI formed a homodimer with isomerase activity, but not LysAP activity. The finding of LysAP activity associated with heterodimeric PGI should foster a broad search for putative substrates in an effort to elucidate the role of PGI-LysAP in bacteria and its roles in the pathophysiology of diseases.

AB  - Enteral Lglutamate is extensively utilized as an oxidative fuel by the gut mucosa in the neonate. To identify major uptake pathways and to understand uptake regulation, we examined transport kinetics and molecular identities of apical membrane L-glutamate transporters in epithelial cells sequentially isolated along the small intestinal cryptvillus axis from milk protein-fed, 16-day-old pigs. The distended intestinal sac method was used to isolate 12 sequential cell fractions from the tip villus to the bottom crypt. Initial rates and kinetics of L-glutamate uptake were measured with L-[G-³H]glutamate by fast filtration in apical membrane vesicles prepared by Mg2+ precipitation and differential centrifugation, with membrane potential clamped by SCN-. Initial L-glutamate uptake results suggested the presence of B° and XAG- transport systems, but the XAG- system was predominant for uptake across the apical membrane. Kinetic data suggested that L-glutamate uptake through the XAG- system was associated with higher maximal transport activity but lower transporter affinity in crypt than in villus cells. Molecular identity of the XAG- glutamate transporter, based on immunoblot and RT-PCR analysis, was primarily the defined excitatory amino acid carrier (EAAC)-1. EAAC-1 expression was increased with cell differentiation and regulated at transcription and translation levels from crypt to upper villus cells. In conclusion, efficiency and capacity of luminal L-glutamate uptake across the apical membrane are regulated by changing expression of the XAG- system transporter gene EAAC-1 at transcription and translation levels as well as maximal uptake activity and transporter affinity along the intestinal crypt-villus axis in the neonate.

AB  - The EnergyPlus building energy simulation software has been tested using the IEA HVAC BESTEST E100–E200 series of tests. The volume 1 final report for the International Energy Agency (IEA) solar heating and cooling programme task 22 building energy simulation test and diagnostic method for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment models (HVAC BESTEST) was recently published in January 2002. HVAC BESTEST is a series of steady-state tests for a single-zone DX cooling system. Cases range from dry to wet coil, low to high part load, and low to high temperatures. This published test suite includes three sets of analytical solutions and results from several other simulation programs for comparison.This test suite was initially used to test EnergyPlus beginning with beta versions prior to its official public release, and it is also applied as an ongoing quality assurance test. The application of these tests proved to be very useful in several ways:Overall, the application of this test suite has been extremely useful in debugging and verifying the DX cooling algorithms in EnergyPlus. This paper summarizes the difficulties encountered and the benefits gained in applying the tests. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) routinely causes significant losses in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (Cucumis melo L.). ZYMV resistances from the cucumber population ‘TMG1’ and the melon plant introduction (PI) 414723 show different modes of inheritance and their genetic relationships are unknown. We used molecular markers tightly linked to ZYMV resistances from cucumber and melon for comparative mapping. A 5-kb genomic region (YCZ-5) cosegregating with the zym locus of cucumber was cloned and sequenced to reveal single nucleotide polymorphisms and indels distinguishing alleles from ZYMV-resistant (TMG1) and susceptible (Straight 8) cucumbers. A low-copy region of the YCZ-5 clone was hybridized to bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones of melon and a 180-kb contig assembled. One end of this melon contig was mapped in cucumber and cosegregated with ZYMV resistance, demonstrating that physically linked regions in melon show genetic linkage in cucumber. However the YCZ-5 region segregated independently of ZYMV resistance loci in two melon families. These results establish that these sources of ZYMV resistances from cucumber TMG1 and melon PI414723 are likely non-syntenic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - 1-Amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) catalyzes the rate-determining step in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone ethylene, and there is evidence for regulation of stability of the protein by reversible protein phosphorylation. The site of phosphorylation of the tomato enzyme, LeACS2, was recently reported to be Ser460, but the requisite protein kinase has not been identified. In the present study, a synthetic peptide based on the known regulatory phosphorylation site (KKNNLRL<f><unl type="bar" STYLE="S">S</unl></f>460FSKRMY) in LeACS2 was found to be readily phosphorylated in vitro by several calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), but not a plant SNF1-related protein kinase or the kinase domain of the receptor-like kinase, BRI1, involved in brassinosteroid signaling. Studies with variants of the LeACS2-Ser460 peptide establish a fundamentally new phosphorylation motif that is broadly targeted by CDPKs: <f>φ-1</f>-[ST]0-<f>φ+1</f>-X-Basic+3-Basic+4, where φ is a hydrophobic residue. Database analysis using the new motif predicts a number of novel phosphorylation sites in plant proteins. Finally, we also demonstrate that CDPKs and SnRK1s do not recognize motifs presented in the reverse order, indicating that side chain interactions alone are not sufficient for substrate recognition.

AB  - Tissue glucose transporter (GLUT1–3) and cationic amino acid transporter (CAT1–3) mRNA expression was determined in growing broiler chicks posthatch. In two experiments, tissues were either collected on days 1, 3 and 7 or days 1 and 14 posthatch. Heart and liver were the only tissues expressing a GLUT isoform on day 1. All tissues expressed a GLUT isoform on day 7 except for the thymus. Most tissues expressing a CAT isoform on day 1 decreased mRNA levels through day 7 (P<0.05), except for bursa CAT-1 which tended to increase (P=0.05). The thymus and spleen did not express any CAT isoform mRNA until day 7. The liver was the only tissue expressing GLUT-2 mRNA through day 14. On day 14, GLUT-1, CAT-1 and CAT-2 mRNA were differentially expressed across tissues (P<0.05). High-affinity GLUT and CAT mRNA expression was highest in the heart and bursa, respectively (P<0.05). Total CAT mRNA expression was greatest in the bursa (P<0.05). The thymus had the lowest high affinity GLUT and total CAT mRNA expression on day 14 posthatch. Therefore, T lymphocytes within the thymus may be most susceptible to glucose and cationic amino acid supply. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Genetic variation in Brachyspira: chromosomal rearrangements and sequence drift distinguish B. pilosicoli from B. hyodysenteriae

AB  - Brachyspira pilosicoli and B. hyodysenteriae are anaerobic pathogenic intestinal spirochetes differing in host range and disease manifestations. Little is known about the size, organization, or genetic content of the B. pilosicoli genome and only limited information is available regarding the genetic organization in B. hyodysenteriae. Both B. hyodysenteriae and B. pilosicoli exist as recombinant populations, and this may be due, in part, to an unusual phage-like gene transfer agent, VSH-1. To compare genetic organization in these two species, the number of mapped loci on an existing physical and genetic map of B. hyodysenteriae B78T was expanded, and a combined physical and genetic map of B. pilosicoli P43/6/78T was constructed. The B. pilosicoli genome size was about 2.5 Mb, nearly 750 kb smaller than the B. hyodysenteriae genome. Several chromosomal rearrangements have contributed to differences in the size, organization, and content of the two bacterial genomes, and such differences may influence the ability of these species to infect different hosts and cause disease. To evaluate these differences further, comparisons were focused on genes thought to contribute to host–parasite interactions. Four genetic loci (bit, fruBC, vspA, and vspH) were found in B. hyodysenteriae, but not in B. pilosicoli, while two genetic loci (clpX and mglB) were found in B. pilosicoli, but not in B. hyodysenteriae. Contrary to a previous study, an intact copy of the hlyA gene, encoding the B. hyodysenteriae β-hemolysin gene was detected in B. pilosicoli. Although the hlyA genes of these two species were nearly identical, sequence variation was detected in the intergenic region upstream of hlyA that may alter transcription and translation efficiency of this gene in B. pilosicoli. In addition, divergence in genes flanking hlyA may affect the chemical composition of lipid attached to the mature B. pilosicoli HlyA protein resulting in reduced hemolytic activity.

AB  - During rapid development of the fetus, levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) are elevated in pregnant women. The receptor for HDL, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), mediates selective cholesteryl ester uptake and is highly expressed in the human placenta. Because of the rapid growth of uterus during early pregnancy and differences in placentation between swine and humans, we hypothesized that SR-BI may be expressed in porcine endometrium to take up HDL cholesterol. The objectives of this study were to obtain the full coding region for porcine SR-BI, determine endometrial expression of SR-BI mRNA during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy, and map the gene. By iterative screening of a porcine expressed sequence tag library, we obtained the full coding region of SR-BI. Endometrial expression of SR-BI in White composite gilts (<F>n=3</F>–4 each) was determined by Northern blotting on Days 10, 13, and 15 cyclic gilts and Days 10, 13, 15, 20, 30, and 40 pregnant gilts. In cyclic gilts, endometrial expression of SR-BI did not change between Days 10 and 13, but increased (<F>P<0.01</F>) between Days 13 and 15. In pregnant gilts, endometrial expression of SR-BI increased (<F>P<0.01</F>) between Days 10 and 13, remained elevated until Day 30, and decreased (<F>P=0.015</F>) on Day 40. The SR-BI gene was mapped to 46.3 cM on chromosome 14. These results show that endometrial expression of SR-BI changes during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy, and suggest that SR-BI takes up HDL for endometrial development during early pregnancy.

AB  - When using conventional fossil fuels, most fuel cell systems require sulfur removal as part of their fuel processing. A novel approach to enable conventional sulfur removal in high-temperature fuel processing is presented. Using established principles from heat-recirculating combustors, it is suggested that high-temperature syngas can be momentarily cooled to conditions that would permit conventional sulfur removal to be carried out at relatively low temperatures. The recirculated heat is then used to heat the gas back to conditions that are minimally less than the original temperature. A model for evaluating the performance of this concept is presented, and calculations suggest that relative to fuel cell applications, reasonable physical dimensions can be expected in actual applications. For high-pressure syngas (i.e., coal gasification), the physical dimensions will rise with the operating pressure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In preparing for future L-band passive microwave soil moisture satellite missions, investigators have employed ground, aircraft and satellite sensors. Of the satellite sensors, there has been only one instrument that provides any heritage at L-band: the Skylab S-194 instrument that operated in the 1970s. Here a dataset from the S-194 was located and recovered. Data from these Skylab missions have been analysed and reported in a few applications, however, these studies utilized limited validation and exploited only a portion of the data collected. In this investigation we explored the use of products from climate model reanalysis projects as ancillary or alternative validation data. Analyses showed that the reanalysis outputs were not accurate and would be of limited value. Tests using a radiative transfer based soil moisture retrieval algorithm matched the observations available for validation. These results support the use of this approach as a tool in understanding a wider range of vegetation condition effects on soil moisture retrieval. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The aim of the research was to develop matrices for the delivery of biologically active substances for tissue regeneration. To this end, a new biodegradable matrix composed of a hydrophobic porous poly(lactide-co-glycolide), p(LGA), network entangled with another network of hydrophilic pectin was fabricated in the presence of calcium chloride. The calcium salts function as both a pore forming reagent and cross-linker for the formation of pectin networks; the method combines creating pores and cross-linking polymers in one step. Microscopic imaging and dynamic mechanical analysis revealed a double-network structure of the composite matrices. The pectin enables the composite to carry signal molecules. This is accomplished by linking signal molecules to pectin by physical adsorption or by chemical reaction. The p(LGA) networks in the composite impart mechanical properties comparable to p(LGA) alone. The mechanical properties of the composite are far superior to matrices containing only pectin. Furthermore, the pectin-containing matrices improved cell adhesion and proliferation when compared to plain p(LGA) matrices, as determined in vitro by osteoblast culture. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Structural studies of the ternary xLi2S + (1 - x)[0.5B2S3 + 0.5GeS2] glasses using IR, Raman, and 11B NMR show that the Li2S is not shared proportionately between the GeS2 and B2S3 sub-networks of the glass. The IR spectra indicate that the B2S3 glass network is under-doped in comparison to the corresponding composition in the xLi2S + (1 - x)B2S3 binary system. Additionally, the Raman spectra show that the GeS2 glass network is over-modified. Surprisingly, however, the 11Boron static NMR gives evidence that ∼80% of the boron atoms are in tetrahedral coordinated. A super macro tetrahedron, B10S18-6 is proposed as one of the structures in these glasses in which can account for the apparent low fraction of Li2S present in the B2S3 sub-network while at the same time enabling the high fraction of tetrahedral borons in the glass.

AB  - The ultrasonic diffraction grating is formed by machining triangular grooves, 300 microns apart, on a stainless steel surface. The grating surface is in contact with the liquid or slurry. The ultrasonic beam, traveling in the solid, strikes the back of the grating and produces a transmitted <f>m=1</f> beam in the liquid. The angle of this beam in the liquid increases with decreasing frequency and the critical frequency <f>FCR</f> occurs when the angle is 90°. At frequencies below <f>FCR</f>, this <f>m=1</f> wave does not exist and its energy is shared with other types of waves. The signal of the reflected <f>m=0</f> wave is observed and an increase is observed at <f>FCR</f>. This information yields the velocity of sound in the liquid and particle size.

AB  - Oviductal sperm storage tubules (SST), located at the uterovaginal junction, are the primary site of sperm storage in turkeys. Sperm reside within these storage sites and may be released via a dynamic interaction between sperm mobility and a fluid current generated by the SST epithelial cells. In this study, aquaporins 2, 3, and 9 (proteins that form water channels in the plasmalemma of a variety of cells) were immunocytochemically localized within the apical aspect of the epithelial cells that form the SST. These observations support the contention that the SST epithelial cells are capable of water exchange that may interact with sperm residing within the SST. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Effect of a Single Short-Term Reduction in Photoperiod on Photorefractoriness in Turkey Hens.

AB  - In a prior study, we reported that a high proportion of hens in a winter-laying flock became relatively photorefractory (rPR) early in the reproductive cycle and that successive short-term reductions in photoperiod in such hens each initially depressed egg production but then caused a rebound in rate of lay to briefly exceed that of hens that did not exhibit rPR. The present study was conducted to assess rPR in a summerlaying flock and to determine whether a single short-term reduction in day length early in the reproductive cycle might enhance egg production and delay the onset of absolute photorefractoriness (aPR). Control hens received a photoperiod of 16L:8D throughout the experiment. Experimental hens were photostimulated with 16L:8D, received a reduced (but still stimulatory) photoperiod of 11.5L:12.5D for 2 wk beginning 8 wk after photostimulation, and then were returned to 16L:8D for the remainder of the 23-wk test period. Results showed that a single 2wk reduction in day length shortly after the hens reached peak egg production did not significantly reduce overall flock egg production, but it also did not improve lateseason egg production or retard the onset or incidence of aPR. The incidence of rPR was substantially less in this study than we had observed with a winter-laying flock (32.9 vs. 67.1%), but similar proportions of treated hens exhibited the most severe rPR response (a brief but complete cessation of egg production) in both studies (21.1 vs. 24.0%), and all treated hens that subsequently became aPR had shown this severe rPR response to the test photoperiod. We concluded that a core proportion of hens (approximately one-fifth) exhibited a strong rPR response when presented with a reduced photoperiod early in the reproductive cycle, regardless of season of the year, and that such hens were more likely to subsequently exhibit poor egg production or become aPR than flockmates that did not exhibit rPR. Therefore, some indication of the incidence of rPR early in the lay period may have a predictive value for the overall egg production of the flock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We investigated a multistate outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. Isolates from 13 case patients from California, Nevada, and Arizona were matched by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis subtyping. Five case patients (38%) were hospitalized, and 3 (23%) developed hemolytic uremic syndrome; none died. The median age was 12 years (range, 2-75 years), and 10 (77%) were female. Case-control studies found an association between illness and eating beef tacos at a national Mexican-style fast-food restaurant chain (88% of cases versus 38% of controls; matched OR, undefined; 95% confidence interval, 1.49 to infinity; P = .009). A trace- back investigation implicated an upstream supplier of beef, but a farm investigation was not possible. This outbreak illustrates the value of employing hospital laboratory-based surveillance to detect local clusters of infections and the effectiveness of using molecular subtyping to identify geographically dispersed outbreaks. The outbreak investigation also highlights the need for a more efficient tracking system for food products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Reciprocating engines have evolved technically more in the past decade than at any other time in the past 100 year history. Reciprocating engines are the fastest-selling, lowest-cost distributed generation technology in the world today. It is a well known wide spread technology having superior reliability, low maintenance, and good durability, that can be used to load follow, and are approaching efficiency that is better than its nearest competitor. Primarily driven by emissions regulations, the modern piston engine has secured its future as a primary driver for multiple markets. The mission of the ARES Program is to lead a national effort to design, develop, test, and demonstrate a new generation of reciprocating engine systems applications that are cleaner, more affordable, reliable and efficient than products that are commercially available today.

AB  - The volatile constituents of taheebo (the dried inner bark of Tabebuia impetiginosa Martius ex DC) were isolated by three methods: solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE); steam distillation under reduced pressure, followed by continuous liquid-liquid extraction (DRP-LLE); and high-flow dynamic headspace sampling (including closed-loop stripping) (DHS). The extracts were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The masses of total volatile components recovered from 50 g taheebo by SAFE, DRP-LLE and DHS were 26.3 ± 2.0, 19.4 ± 1.0 and 1.2 ± 0.2 mg, respectively. The major constituents isolated with the SAFE method were 4-methoxyphenol (121.65 µg/g), 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (96.49 µg/g), 1,2-propanediol (92.95 µg/g) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (31.33 µg/g). The DRP-LLC method yielded 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (64.54 µg/g), 4-methoxyphenol (42.30 µg/g), 5-(2-propenyl)-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (elemicin; 41.22 µg/g), and 1-methoxy-4-(1 E)-1-propenylbenzene ( trans-anethole; 39.16 µg/g) as major volatiles, while the main compounds recovered with the DHS method were 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.61 µg/g), 4-methoxyphenol (2.10 µg/g), 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (carvone; 1.71 µg/g) and 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol (linalool; 1.64 µg/g).

AB  - More than 20 years ago it was proposed that differences in body iron stores may account for differential heart disease prevalence in men and women. In 1992 Finnish investigators presented intriguing supportive evidence for this proposal by showing that middle-aged men with normal but elevated serum ferritin, a biomarker of body iron stores, were at increased risk for acute myocardial infarction. During the past dozen years many studies have followed leading to intense debate on the role of iron in the development of heart disease. A meta-analysis of prospective studies found, however, no support for the iron–heart disease hypothesis. As new disease associations with iron status continue to be explored, consideration needs to be given to the lessons learned from these studies. Moreover, additional efforts need to be made to find a simple, high throughput and more satisfactory measure of the forms of iron in the body that are liable to do damage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A search for physics beyond the Standard Model has been performed with high-<f>Q2</f> neutral current deep inelastic scattering events recorded with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Two data sets, <f>e+p→e+X</f> and <f>e-p→e-X</f>, with respective integrated luminosities of 112 pb-1 and 16 pb-1, were analyzed. The data reach <f>Q2</f> values as high as 40 000 GeV2. No significant deviations from Standard Model predictions were observed. Limits were derived on the effective mass scale in <f>eeqq</f> contact interactions, the ratio of leptoquark mass to the Yukawa coupling for heavy leptoquark models and the mass scale parameter in models with large extra dimensions. The limit on the quark charge radius, in the classical form factor approximation, is <f>0.85×10-16</f> cm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A resonance search has been made in the <f>K0Sp</f> and <f>K0S&pmacr;</f> invariant-mass spectrum measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 121 pb-1. The search was performed in the central rapidity region of inclusive deep inelastic scattering at an <f>ep</f> centre-of-mass energy of 300–318 GeV for exchanged photon virtuality, <f>Q2</f>, above 1 GeV2. Recent results from fixed-target experiments give evidence for a narrow baryon resonance decaying to <f>K+n</f> and <f>K0Sp</f>, interpreted as a pentaquark. The results presented here support the existence of such state, with a mass of <f>1521.5±1.5(stat.)+2.8-1.7(syst.)</f> MeV and a Gaussian width consistent with the experimental resolution of 2 MeV. The signal is visible at high <f>Q2</f> and, for <f>Q2>20</f> GeV2, contains <f>221±48</f> events. The probability of a similar signal anywhere in the range 1500–1560 MeV arising from fluctuations of the background is below <f>6×10-5</f>. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Evaluation of common organic solvents for gas chromatographic analysis and stability of multiclass pesticide residues

AB  - In this study, we evaluated the suitability of six common organic solvents for gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of pesticides. Three of these, acetone, acetonitrile (MeCN) and ethyl acetate (EtAc), represent extraction solvents commonly used in multiresidue methods for determination of pesticides in produce. The other three, isooctane, hexane and toluene, often serve as exchange solvents before a GC analysis. An ideal solvent for GC analysis of multiclass pesticide residues should be compatible with: the analytes, sample preparation, and GC analysis. This study addresses each aspect with emphasis placed on stability of selected pesticides in the given solvents. In this respect, the exchange solvents proved to be superior to the more polar extraction solvents. Degradation of N-trihalomethylthio fungicides (e.g., captan, folpet, dichlofluanid) in MeCN was observed only in certain lots of the tested MeCN, but even if it occurred, the stability of these analytes as well as that of dicofol and chlorothalonil was dramatically improved by the addition of 0.1% (v/v) acetic acid. Dicofol and chlorothalonil were also unstable in acetone, and pesticides with a thioether group (e.g., fenthion, disulfoton) degraded in the tested EtAc. Formation of isomers of certain pyrethroids (deltamethrin, λ-cyhalothrin) was recorded in the chromatograms from MeCN and acetone solutions, but this effect more likely occurred during the GC injection than in solution. For several reasons, MeCN was found to be the most suitable solvent for extraction of a wide polarity range of pesticide residues from produce. After acidification, the stability of problematic pesticides in MeCN is acceptable, and MeCN can also serve as a medium for GC injection; therefore solvent exchange is generally not required before GC analysis. If sensitivity is an issue in splitless injection, then toluene was demonstrated to be the best exchange solvent due to its miscibility with MeCN and stronger responses of relatively more polar pesticides (e.g., acephate, methamidophos) as compared to hexane and isooctane.

AB  - The photoproduction of <f>D*±(2010)</f> mesons associated with a leading neutron has been observed with the ZEUS detector in <f>ep</f> collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 80 pb-1. The neutron carries a large fraction, <f>xL>0.2</f>, of the incoming proton beam energy and is detected at very small production angles, <f>θn<0.8</f> mrad, an indication of peripheral scattering. The <f>D*</f> meson is centrally produced with pseudorapidity <f>&z.sfnc;η&z.sfnc;<1.5</f>, and has a transverse momentum <f>pT>1.9</f> GeV, which is large compared to the average transverse momentum of the neutron of 0.22 GeV. The ratio of neutron-tagged to inclusive <f>D*</f> production is <f>8.85±0.93(stat.)+0.48-0.61(syst.)%</f> in the photon–proton center-of-mass energy range <f>130<W<280</f> GeV. The data suggest that the presence of a hard scale enhances the fraction of events with a leading neutron in the final state. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The concentration and chemical composition of ambient fine particulate material (PM2.5) is reported for two sampling sites in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metropolitan area: the Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) PM study site south of the city center, and the Carnegie Mellon Pittsburgh Air Quality Study (PAQS) site 5 km east of central Pittsburgh established with funding by the EPA Supersites Program and by DOE-NETL. Data from these sampling sites were characterized by one to three-day episodes with PM2.5 concentrations (constructed from the sum of the chemical components) exceeding 40.0 μg m-3. The episodes were dominated by high concentrations of ammonium sulfate. The fine particle concentrations were compared with meteorological data from surface weather maps and a Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT model), with back-trajectories estimated over 24 h. High PM2.5 concentrations were associated with transition from a high pressure to a low pressure regime in advance of an approaching frontal system indicating long-range transport of pollutants. In contrast, fine particulate organic material appeared to be dominated by nearby sources. Distinct differences were observed in the diurnal variations in concentration between the two sites. The NETL site showed clear maximum concentrations of semi-volatile organic material (SVOM) during midday, and minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon. In contrast, the Carnegie Mellon PAQS site showed an absence of diurnal variation in SVOM, but still with minimum concentrations of nonvolatile organic compounds in the afternoon and evening. Neither site showed significant diurnal variation in ammonium sulfate. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Seven new ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) field isolates were derived from colostrum and milk of 10 naturally OPPV-infected sheep from the US Sheep Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho, USA. Sixteen sequences of the surface envelope glycoprotein (SU) from these seven Dubois OPPV field isolates and SU sequence from OPPV WLC1 were obtained, aligned with published SRLV SU sequences, and analyzed using phylogenetic analysis using parsimony (PAUP). Percent nucleotide identity in SU was greater than 95.8% among clones from individual Dubois OPPVs and ranged from 85.5 to 93.8% between different Dubois OPPV clones. SU sequences from Dubois OPPVs and WLC1 OPPV had significantly higher percent nucleotide identity to SU sequences from the North American OPPVs (85/34 and S93) than caprine-arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEVs) or MVVs. PAUP analysis also showed that SU sequences from the Dubois OPPVs and OPPV WLC1 grouped with other North American OPPVs (85/34 and S93) with a bootstrap value of 100 and formed one OPPV clade II group. In addition, Dubois and WLC1 SU amino acid sequences had significantly higher identity to SU sequences from North American OPPVs than CAEV or MVV. These data indicate that the seven new Dubois OPPV field isolates along with WLC1 OPPV are part of the OPPV clade II and are distinct from CAEVs and MVVs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - At concentrations of 100 mM or higher the chemical nature of both the cation and anion in the background electrolyte (BGE) can be varied to manipulate the migration times of protonated aniline cations. Significant differences were noted with Li+, Na+ and K+ for capillary electrophoretic runs carried out at pH 3. However, much greater differences in migration times were observed at acidic pH values when the BGE contained protonated cations of aliphatic amines. Analyte migration became progressively slower in the series: methylamine, diethylamine, diethylamino ethanol and triethylamine. A major part of this effect was attributed to an opposing electroosmotic flow (EOF) resulting from a positively-charged coating of the capillary surface with the amine cations in the BGE via a dynamic equilibrium. The amine cations also interact in solution with the analyte ions to reduce their electrophoretic mobilities. Migration times of anilines could be varied systematically over a broad range according to the BGE amine cation selected. Excellent separations of seven closely-related anilines were obtained with the new system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - High-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection under alkaline conditions has significantly improved our understanding of the function of carbohydrates in cycling of terrestrial carbon. The use of NaOH as an eluent has many advantages for anion analysis, but NaOH solutions are also an excellent trap for atmospheric CO2 resulting in eluent carbonate ion contamination. To minimize the carbonate contamination, eluent generation technology has been marketed that produces ultra-pure hydroxide (OH) eluents on demand. Application of this technology significantly reduced the amounts of OH present in the waste stream and provided faster chromatographic runs with greater sensitivity and precision for determining the monosaccharide composition from environmental samples. Minimizing the salt concentration to ≤50 mm from acid hydrolysis extractions injected (25 μl injection volume) on column improved reproducibility of analyte retention times and separations. Eluent generation technology eliminated inconsistent OH eluent preparation that is often due to carbonate contamination. The contamination increases retention time variability for monosaccharides released by hydrolysis of biological samples. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ion chromatography as we know it today was built on a foundation of knowledge accumulated over a period of many years. Here, we review some of the outstanding earlier achievements in ion-exchange chromatography. Beginning about 1947, Spedding and Powell at Iowa State published a series of papers describing practical methods for preparative separation of the rare earths by displacement ion-exchange chromatography. The same group then demonstrated the ion-exchange separation of <F>14N</F> and <F>15N</F> isotopes in ammonia. Beginning in the 1950s, Kraus and Nelson at Oak Ridge published numerous analytical methods for metal ions based on separation of their chloride, fluoride, nitrate or sulfate complexes by anion chromatography. In the period from about 1960 to 1980 many clever chromatographic methods for metal ion separations were reported by researchers throughout the world and automatic in-line detection was gradually introduced. A truly innovative method by Small, Stevens and Bauman at Dow Chemical Co. marked the birth of modern ion chromatography. Anions, as well as cations, could now be separated quickly and conveniently by a system of suppressed conductivity detection. A method for anion chromatography with non-suppressed conductivity detection was published by Gjerde et al. in 1979. This was followed by a similar method for cation chromatography in 1980. Ion chromatography as we know it today did not just happen. It was built on a solid foundation of knowledge that has accumulated over a period of many years. Revisiting the older ion-exchange chromatography serves not only to pay tribute to some remarkable accomplishments, but it can also be a learning experience. Trends and ideas in science tend to run in repeating cycles. Thus, an awareness of older work may provide inspiration for new research using improved contemporary technology. Selection of milestones is a rather personal matter. I chose to write about subjects of which I came to have a firsthand knowledge during my career. The topics selected are in roughly chronological order and cover the period from about 1945 to 1980. An effort has been made to explain the chemical principles as well as to recount the major accomplishments of the various research projects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Alternating and direct current electrical measurements between 293 and 450 K were used to characterize the electrical conductivity of the implanted region in as-grown and oxidized MgO:Li single crystals. Both types of crystals were implanted with Li+ ions with an energy of 175 keV and a fluence of 1 × 1017 ions/cm2. The electrical conductivity of the implanted regions was &ap;14 and 7 orders of magnitude higher than that of the unimplanted areas, respectively. Electrical measurements at different temperatures of the implanted regions suggest thermally activated processes with activation energies of about 0.14 and 0.06 eV in as-grown and oxidized samples, respectively. In both type of crystals, the <f>I</f>–<f>V</f> characteristics reveal that the contacts are ohmic, in contrast to blocking contacts in unimplanted crystals. The enhancement in conductivity observed in the implanted region is associated with the intrinsic defects created by the implantation, rather than with the implanted Li ions. The differences in both conductivity and activation energy relative to undoped crystals are likely due to free carriers already present in different concentrations in as-grown and oxidized MgO:Li crystals before implantation.

AB  - Rutherford backscattering and optical absorption measurements were used to characterize both intrinsic and extrinsic defects produced in MgO single crystals by implantation with 250 keV Cu2+ ions at a fluence of 1 × 1017 ions/cm2. Several absorption bands identical to those found in neutron irradiated crystals were observed and have been previously associated with oxygen vacancies and higher-order defects involving oxygen vacancies. In addition, a broad extinction band centered at &ap;3.0 eV is observed and is attributed to copper precipitates. The maximum concentration of the implanted Cu ions occurs at a penetration depth of &ap;130 nm. The copper colloids start to dissolve at temperatures above 1100 K and by 1500 K most of the copper ions have diffused into substitutional sites. Hardening induced by implantation was characterized by nanoindentation measurements. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection method separating 16 phenolic acids was achieved. Six columns and several mobile phases were investigated. Resolution was achieved with a high-purity silica Phenomenex Luna C18 column (<F>150 mm×4.6</F> mm, 5 μm) and a binary gradient consisting of CH3OH–water (with 0.1% formic acid) and flow rate set at 0.7 ml/min. Acids were detected and quantitation performed at wavelength representing the lowest energy λmax for individual acids. Extraction procedure from wine was optimized and yields ranged from 79 to 87% based on internal standard recovery. To confirm our quantitative results, identical samples were analyzed both in-house and by a collaborating laboratory. Correlation of two data sets generated linear regression equations that approached unity (0.93–0.98) and R2 values ranging from 0.990 to 0.999. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Species limits were investigated within the Fusarium graminearum clade (Fg clade) through phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from portions of 11 nuclear genes including the mating-type (MAT) locus. Nine phylogenetically distinct species were resolved within the Fg clade, and they all possess contiguous MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 idiomorphs consistent with a homothallic reproductive mode. In contrast, only one of the two MAT idiomorphs was found in five other species, four of which were putatively asexual, and the other was heterothallic. Molecular evolutionary analyses indicate the MAT genes are under strong purifying selection and that they are functionally constrained, even in species for which a sexual state is unknown. The phylogeny supports a monophyletic and apomorphic origin of homothallism within this clade. Morphological analyses demonstrate that a combination of conidial characters could be used to differentiate three species and three species pairs. Species rank is formally proposed for the eight unnamed species within the Fg clade using fixed nucleotide characters.Index Descriptors: Fusarium head blight; Mating-type; Histone H3; Homothallic; Heterothallic; Gene trees; Species trees; Species limits; Phylogeny; Reciprocal monophyly [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In the Pacific Northwest, natural suppression of take-all disease of wheat (take-all decline) has been attributed to certain strains of the gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens. To examine naturally occurring variation in the ability of Triticum aestivum L. (hexaploid wheat) to support these bacteria, we have surveyed 27 Pacific Northwest (PNW) cultivars for the ability to undergo root colonization with the aggressive colonizer P. fluorescens strain Q8r1-96, and P. fluorescens strain Q2-87, a less effective colonizer. In seed inoculation experiments, Q8r1-86 colonized roots of all of the cultivars equally or more effectively than did Q2-87 in a non-pasteurized, non-agricultural soil. Seven cultivars supported significantly (<f>P<0.05</f>) higher rhizosphere populations of Q8r1-96 than Q2-87 within 14 days post-inoculation (dpi), two cultivars supported relatively high population densities of each bacterial strain, and three cultivars supported low population densities of the strains. Population densities normalized to root weight reached maximum steady-state levels within 4 dpi, and differential colonization was seen as early as 7 dpi. In pairwise comparisons, the bacterial treatments differentially affected the root morphology of some of the cultivars at 14 dpi. However, principal components (factor) and correlation analysis showed that preferential colonization by Q8r1-96 was independent of root fresh weight, total length, surface area, volume, and average diameter, and that differential colonization was not correlated with changes in any specific root morphometric variable. Variation in root colonization of specific cultivars suggests useful genetic stocks for mapping and identifying host genes involved in wheat–rhizosphere interactions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

We investigated the consequences of parasitization when eggs or larvae of melon flies were exposed to F. arisanus or P. fletcheri alone, or to both in succession. In addition, we evaluated the effect of fruit substrates on host preference by gravid parasitoids. F. arisanus parasitized 45% of melon fly eggs in the cohort after a 24-h exposure period. The proportion of parasitized hosts increased 2-fold when melon fly larvae were exposed to P. fletcheri alone, or when host immatures were exposed sequentially to both parasitoids. While P. fletcheri could readily develop on melon fly, F. arisanus rarely produced progeny. Life table calculations indicated that parasitization by F. arisanus resulted in host kills of 38, 40, and 47% in egg, larval, and pupal stages of the melon fly, respectively, while parasitization by P. fletcheri resulted in larval and pupal mortalities of 24 and 79%, respectively. Sequential exposure of melon fly eggs to F. arisanus, then larvae to P. fletcheri, resulted in host kills of 52, 56, and 91% during the egg, larval and pupal stages, respectively. Parasitization by F. arisanus, P. fletcheri, or both, suppressed melon fly development by 2-, 5-, and 12-fold, respectively. Given a choice of fruit types, F. arisanus and P. fletcheri preferred melon fly in zucchini squash, Cucurbita pepo, over those in Japanese eggplant, Solanum melongena, Chinese bitter melon, Momordica charantia, Japanese cucumber, Cucumis sativus, and tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum. This study provides basic information needed for future work on single or multispecies releases of parasitoids for biological control of the melon fly. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This report of the American Dairy Science Association Committee on the Nomenclature, Classification, and Methodology of Milk Proteins reviews changes in the nomenclature of milk proteins necessitated by recent advances of our knowledge of milk proteins. Identification of major caseins and whey proteins continues to be based upon their primary structures. Nomenclature of the immunoglobulins consistent with new international standards has been developed, and all bovine immunoglobulins have been characterized at the molecular level. Other significant findings related to nomenclature and protein methodology are elucidation of several new genetic variants of the major milk proteins, establishment by sequencing techniques and sequence alignment of the bovine caseins and whey proteins as the reference point for the nomenclature of all homologous milk proteins, completion of crystallographic studies for major whey proteins, and advances in the study of lactoferrin, allowing it to be added to the list of fully characterized milk proteins.

AB  - Structural and morphological characteristics of (1−x)α-Fe2O3–xSnO2 <f>(x=0.0–1.0)</f> nanoparticles obtained under hydrothermal conditions have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy as well as energy dispersive X-ray analysis. On the basis of the Rietveld structure refinements of the XRD spectra at low tin concentrations, it was found that Sn4+ ions partially substitute for Fe3+ at the octahedral sites and also occupy the interstitial octahedral sites which are vacant in α-Fe2O3 corundum structure. A phase separation of α-Fe2O3 and SnO2 was observed for <f>x≥0.4:</f> the α-Fe2O3 structure containing tin decreases simultaneously with the increase of the SnO2 phase containing substitutional iron ions. The mean particle dimension decreases from 70 to 6 nm, as the molar fraction <f>x</f> increases up to <f>x=1.0.</f> The estimated solubility limits in the nanoparticle system (1−x)α-Fe2O3–xSnO2 synthesized under hydrothermal conditions are: <f>x≤0.2</f> for Sn4+ in α-Fe2O3 and <f>x≥0.7</f> for Fe3+ in SnO2.

AB  - Adsorption and desorption isotherms of CO2 on dried Argonne Premium coal samples were investigated. A small hysteresis was detected between the adsorption and desorption isotherms. The hysteresis was small or negligible for high rank coals but discernable for low rank coals. The isotherms were found to be rectilinear and to fit the conventional adsorption equations poorly. The rectilinear shape of the adsorption isotherms was related to the solubility of the CO2 in the coal and to coal swelling. Using an adsorption model that accounted for volumetric effects provided good agreement between the surface areas calculated from the high-pressure isotherms and the literature values obtained under traditional low-pressure conditions. Ignoring the volumetric effects resulted in estimated surface areas that were 40% larger for the higher-ranked coals and 60–100% larger for the lower-ranked coals. The heat of adsorption, after correcting for volumetric effects, was fairly constant (26±1 kJ/mol) regardless of rank. The adsorption capacity, average pore size, and volume effect for each of the Argonne coals were also estimated employing the same model. The model equation explicitly accounts for volumetric effects, attributable to the solubility of CO2 in the organic matrix and the coal swelling, and estimates the actual adsorbed amount.

AB  - For the first time, calculations for the more than 3000 counties of the US have been completed that estimate the average deposition density (Bq m−2) of more than 40 radionuclides in fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted in the US (1951–1962) and 19 radionuclides from tests conducted elsewhere in the world (1952–1963). The geographic pattern of deposition across the US, as well as the amount of fallout deposited, varied significantly depending on whether the tests were conducted within or outside of the US. Fallout deposited from the Nevada Test Site (NTS) varied geographically as a result of dispersion and dilution in the atmosphere, the wind patterns following each test, and the occurrence of localized rainfall events. In general, states immediately east of the NTS received the highest deposition from tests conducted there. In contrast, the variation in deposition across the country from global fallout was less than for NTS fallout primarily reflecting variations in annual precipitation across larger regions. Hence, in the eastern and mid-western US, where rainfall is above the national average, higher levels of global fallout were deposited than in the more arid southwestern states. This paper presents a summary of the methods used and findings of our studies on fallout from NTS and global fallout, with emphasis on two of the most important radionuclides, 131I and 137Cs.

AB  - Unsaturated fatty acids are important constituents of all cell membranes and are required for normal growth. In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives also influence asexual (conidial) and sexual (ascospore) sporulation processes. To investigate the relationship between fatty acid metabolism and fungal development, we disrupted the A. nidulans sdeA and sdeB genes, both encoding Δ9-stearic acid desaturases responsible for the conversion of palmitic acid (16:0) and stearic acid (18:0) to palmitoleic acid (16:1) and oleic acid (18:1). The effects of sdeA deletion on development were profound, such that growth, conidial and ascospore production were all reduced at 22 and 37 °C. Total fatty acid content was increased over 3-fold in the <f>Δ</f>sdeA strain, reflected in up-regulation of the expression of the fasA gene encoding the α chain of the fatty acid synthase, compared to wild type. Stearic acid accumulated approximately 3-fold compared to wild type in the <f>Δ</f>sdeA strain, while unsaturated fatty acid production was decreased. In contrast, disruption of sdeB reduced fungal growth and conidiation at 22 °C, but did not affect these processes at 37 °C compared to wild type. Interestingly, ascospore production was increased at 37 °C for <f>Δ</f>sdeB compared to wild type. Total fatty acid content was not increased in this strain, although stearic acid accumulated 2-fold compared to wild type, and unsaturated fatty acid production was decreased. Combining the <f>Δ</f>sdeA and <f>Δ</f>sdeB alleles created a synthetic lethal strain requiring the addition of oleic acid to the medium for a modicum of growth. Taken together, our results suggest a role for sdeA in growth and development at all temperatures, while sdeB is involved in growth and development at lower temperatures. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In spring-type oat (Avena sativa L.), quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detected in adapted populations may have the greatest potential for improving germplasm via marker-assisted selection. An F6 recombinant inbred (RI) population was developed from a cross between two Canadian spring oat varieties: ‘Terra’, a hulless line, and ‘Marion’, an elite covered-seeded line. A molecular linkage map was generated using 430 AFLP, RFLP, RAPD, SCAR, and phenotypic markers scored on 101 RI lines. This map was refined by selecting a robust set of 124 framework markers that mapped to 35 linkage groups and contained 35 unlinked loci. One hundred one lines grown in up to 13 field environments in Canada and the United States between 1992 and 1997 were evaluated for 16 agronomic, kernel, and chemical composition traits. QTLs were localized using three detection methods with an experiment-wide error rate of approximately 0.05 for each trait. In total, 34 main-effect QTLs affecting the following traits were identified: heading date, plant height, lodging, visual score, grain yield, kernel weight, milling yield, test weight, thin and plump kernels, groat β-glucan concentration, oil concentration, and protein. Several of these correspond to QTLs in homologous or homoeologous regions reported in other oat QTL studies. Twenty-four QTL-by-environment interactions and three epistatic interactions were also detected. The locus controlling the covered/hulless character (N1) affected most of the traits measured in this study. Additive QTL models with N1 as a covariate were superior to models based on separate covered and hulless sub-populations. This approach is recommended for other populations segregating for major genes. Marker-trait associations identified in this study have considerable potential for use in marker-assisted selection strategies to improve traits within spring oat breeding programs.

AB  - Regulatory monitoring for most antibiotic residues in edible poultry tissues is often accomplished with accurate, although expensive and technically demanding, chemical analytical techniques The purpose of this study is to determine if a simple, inexpensive bioassay could detect fluoroquinolone (FQ) residues Lo chicken muscle above the FDA established tolerance (300 ppb) comparable to a liquid chromatography-fluorescence-mass spectrometryn method. To produce incurred enrofloxacin (ENRO) tissue (where ENRO is incorporated into complex tissue matrices) for the method comparison, 40-d-old broilers (mixed sex) were orally dosed through drinking water for 3 d at the FDA-approved dose of ENRO (50 ppm) At the end of each day of the 3-d dosing period and for 3 d postdosing, birds were sacrificed and breast and thigh music collected and analyzed Both methods were able to detect ENRO at and below the tolerance level in the muscle, with limits of detection of 26 ppb (bioassay), 0.1 ppb for ENRO, and 0.5 ppb for the ENRO metabolite, ciprofloxacin (liquid chromatography fluorescence-mass Spectrometryn). All samples that had violative levels of antibiotic were detected by the bioassay. These results support the use of this bioassay as a screening method for examining large numbers of samples for regulatory monitoring. Positive samples should then be examined by a more extensive method, such as liquid chromatography-fluorescence-mass spectrometryn, to provide confirmation of the analyte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Detection of H2O2 in the supernatant of plant suspension cells is often used to indicate the time and extent of the oxidative burst during interactions with either bacteria or pathogen-related elicitors. We have found that suspensions of plant cells, depending on conditions, may produce considerable levels of extracellular phenolics that can function as antioxidants and prevent or suppress the detection of H2O2. These compounds can be used as substrates by extracellular peroxidases to scavenge stoichiometric amounts of H2O2. When this occurs during plant/pathogen interactions it can mask both the timing and extent of the oxidative burst if detection of free H2O2 is the only technique used. We have developed a chemiluminescent technique that will account for the H2O2 scavenged by these extracellular metabolites. A known quantity of H2O2 is added to samples and allowed to react with the extracellular antioxidants. The amount of H2O2 that remains is then determined by adding luminol to the sample and measuring luminol-dependent-chemiluminescence. The difference between treated and control samples represents the amount of H2O2 that has been produced by the cells in response to the treatment. We have found that this technique provides a better estimate of both the magnitude and timing of the oxidative burst in bacterial/suspension cell systems. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol that can be used to distinguish Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis from other P. syringae pathovars, including those that induce apical chlorosis in several plants of the Asteracaea family and in pea, and closely related P. savastanoi pathovars was developed based on DNA sequences from P. syringae pv. tagetis that are required for tagetitoxin synthesis. PCR primer sets designated TAGTOX-9 and TAGTOX-10 in PCR amplifications with DNA from most strains of P. syringae pv. tagetis, produced amplicons of 507 and 733 bp, respectively. The same size amplicons were produced in PCR amplifications with bacterial cells isolated from chlorotic leaf tissue from Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) plants infected with P. syringae pv. tagetis. Among 16 other P. syringae pathovars, only PCR amplifications with DNA from P. syringae pv. helianthi produced the same size amplicons with the respective primer sets. Low levels of the 507-bp amplicon were produced in PCR amplifications with the TAGTOX-9 primers and DNA from P. syringae pv. helianthi or the nontoxigenic strains of P. syringae pv. tagetis. These results suggest that P. syringae pv. helianthi, the most closely related pathovar to P. syringae pv. tagetis, may be a nontoxigenic form of P. syringae pv. tagetis. Results from PCR amplifications with the TAGTOX-9 and TAGTOX-10 primers provide strong evidence that the newly described Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, CT99B016C isolated from Canada thistle and PP105 and Pisum97-1 isolated from pea, which cause apical chlorosis in these respective hosts, are different from P. syringae pv. tagetis.

AB  - The physiological responses of pineapple slices to antibrowning agents have been studied. Slices were immersed for 2 min in solutions of isoascorbic acid (IAA) 0.1 mol/l, ascorbic acid (AA) 0.05 mol/l or acetyl cysteine (AC) 0.05 mol/l, packaged in polystyrene trays, prior to storage for up to 14 days at 10°C. The use of these antibrowning agents reduced browning and decay of pineapple slices significantly. These treatments also reduced changes in L* and b* values as well as firmness loss. Changes of in-package atmosphere did not adversely affect quality of slices. Slices treated with 0.1 mol/l IAA had the best visual appearance and were more acceptable compared with the control slices. The best results were obtained using IAA, followed by AC and AA. Organoleptic attributes were not affected and no off-flavors were detected in the treated slices. We conclude that pineapple slices can be maintained in good condition for up 14 days at 10°C following treatment with antibrowning agents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The objective of the present study was to develop a rapid HPLC method for simultaneous separation and quantitation of dansylated amino acids and common polyamines in the same matrix for analyzing forest tree tissues and cell cultures. The major modifications incorporated into this method as compared to previously published HPLC methods for separation of only dansyl amino acids include: use of a 10 cm column to reduce the total run time by approximately 15 min; modification of the dansyl derivatization process and gradient profile to elute amino acids and common polyamines within the same run; addition of steps for column cleaning within each run; shorter re-equilibration time; and finally, column cleaning and physically reversing the column at the end of a loop of samples. These changes improved peak resolution and increased column longevity by several-fold. Over 1000 foliar samples from mature forest trees could be analyzed with the same column as compared to only 200–250 samples before the incorporation of these changes. This method eluted 22 amino acids within 40 min plus all three common polyamines between 44 and 47 min. The total run time is 53.6 min for amino acids only and 55.6 min for both amino acids and polyamines. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Context Falls among elderly individuals occur frequently, increase with age, and lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. The role of vitamin D in preventing falls among elderly people has not been well established. Objective To assess the effectiveness of vitamin D in preventing an older person from falling. Data Sources MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register from January 1960 to February 2004, EMBASE from January 1991 to February 2004, clinical experts, bibliographies, and abstracts. Search terms included trial terms: randomized-controlled trial or controlled-clinical trial or random-allocation or double-blind method, or single-blind method or uncontrolled-trials with vitamin D terms: cholecalciferol or hydroxycholecalciferols or calcifediol or dihydroxycholecalciferols or calcitriol or vitamin D/aa[analogs & derivates] or ergocalciferol or vitamin D/bl[blood]; and with accidental falls or falls, and humans. Study Selection We included only double-blind randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of vitamin D in elderly populations (mean age, 60 years) that examined falls resulting from low trauma for which the method of fall ascertainment and definition of falls were defined explicitly. Studies including patients in unstable health states were excluded. Five of 38 identified studies were included in the primary analysis and 5 other studies were included in a sensitivity analysis. Data Extraction Independent extraction by 3 authors using predefined data fields including study quality indicators. Data Synthesis Based on 5 RCTs involving 1237 participants, vitamin D reduced the corrected odds ratio (OR) of falling by 22% (corrected OR, 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-0.92) compared with patients receiving calcium or placebo. From the pooled risk difference, the number needed to treat (NNT) was 15 (95% CI, 8-53), or equivalently 15 patients would need to be treated with vitamin D to prevent 1 person from falling. The inclusion of 5 additional st... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We report the development of thermally stable nanoscale layered structures in sputter deposited Cu/Nb multilayered films with 75 nm individual layer thickness, vacuum annealed at temperatures of 800°C or lower. The continuity of the layered structure was maintained and layer thickness unchanged in the annealed films. The nanolayers were observed to be offset by shear at the triple-point junctions that had equilibrium groove angles and were aligned in a zigzag pattern. A mechanism is proposed for the evolution of this 'anchored' structure that may be resistant to further morphological instability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The ability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to serve as a long-term source of lactic acid for bacterial sulfate reduction activity in zinc smelter tailings was investigated. Solid PLA polymers mixed in water hydrolyzed abiotically to release lactic acid into solution over an extended period of time. The addition of both PLA and gypsum was required for indigenous bacteria to lower redox potential, raise pH, and stimulate sulfate reduction activity in highly oxidized smelter tailings after one year of treatment. Bioavailable cadmium, copper, lead and zinc were all lowered significantly in PLA/gypsum treated soil, but PLA amendments alone increased the bioavailability of lead, nickel and zinc. Similar PLA amendments may be useful in constructed wetlands and reactive barrier walls for the passive treatment of mine drainage, where enhanced rates of bacterial sulfate reduction are desirable.

AB  - The Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus (FMDV) is not a public health threat, but it is highly contagious to cloven-footed animals. The virus is shed into milk up to 33 h before there are apparent signs of the disease in dairy cows, and, in extreme cases, signs of disease may not appear for up to 14 d. During this time, raw milk can serve as a vector for spread of the disease both at the farm and during transport to the processing plant by milk tanker. Raw milk and milk products fed to animals have the potential to cause infection, but the potential for pasteurized milk products to cause infection is largely unknown. Current minimum pasteurization standards may not be adequate to eliminate FMDV in milk completely. The purpose of this paper is to assess the literature on the thermal resistance of FMDV in milk and milk products, to identify the risks associated with ingestion of pasteurized products by animals, and to lay a strategy to prevent the spread of FMDV from contaminated milk.

AB  - Numerical simulations examine the migration, entrapment, and mass recovery behavior of DNAPLs in aquifer systems with coupled textural and wettability variations. Permeability fields of varying degrees of heterogeneity (i.e., differing <f>σln(k)2</f>) were generated with sequential Gaussian simulation, using geostatistical parameters derived from core grain size measurements in a sandy glacial outwash aquifer. Organic-wet mass fraction, a representative metric for wettability, was correlated to porous media permeability. A multiphase flow simulator incorporating wettability-dependent constitutive relationships for capillary behavior is used to generate residual saturation distributions for tetrachloroethene (PCE) spill events in these synthetic aquifers. Simulated saturation distributions then serve as initial conditions for compositional simulations of PCE dissolution, to examine the effect of coupled wettability and permeability variations on DNAPL mass recovery. Simulations reveal considerable differences in predicted depth of organic liquid penetration, extent of vertical spreading, and magnitude of maximum entrapped saturation for the various modeled scenarios. These differences are directly linked to observable variations in effluent concentration and mass recovery predictions in the aqueous phase flushing simulations. Results suggest that mass recovery behavior may be highly realization dependent and not closely correlated with geostatistical parameters. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A search for events containing isolated tau leptons and large missing transverse momentum, not originating from the tau decay, has been performed with the ZEUS detector at the electron–proton collider HERA, using <f>130 pb-1</f> of integrated luminosity. A search was made for isolated tracks coming from hadronic tau decays. Observables based on the internal jet structure were exploited to discriminate between tau decays and quark- or gluon-induced jets. Three tau candidates were found, while <f>0.40+0.12-0.13</f> were expected from Standard Model processes, such as charged current deep inelastic scattering and single <f>W±</f>-boson production. To search for heavy-particle decays, a more restrictive selection was applied to isolate tau leptons produced together with a hadronic final state with high transverse momentum. Two candidate events survive, while <f>0.20±0.05</f> events are expected from Standard Model processes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) is an important foliar and glume disease in cereals. Inheritance of SNB resistance in wheat appears quantitative. The development of partially resistant cultivars seems to be the only effective way to combat the pathogen. Partial resistance components like length of incubation period (INC), disease severity (DIS) and length of latent period (LAT) were evaluated on a population of doubled-haploids derived from a cross between the partially resistant cultivar Alba and the susceptible cultivar Begra. Experiments were conducted in controlled environments and the fifth leaf was examined. Molecular analyses were based on bulked segregant analyses (BSA) and screening with 240 microsatellites DNA markers. The QTL analysis revealed QTL on chromosome 6AL (designated as QSnl.ihar-6A) and putative QTL on chromosome 6D. The QSnl.ihar-6A accounted for 36% of the phenotypic variance for DIS and 14% for INC. The putative QTL accounted for 10% of the variability in INC and 8% of DIS components of SNB resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Protein in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), a forage that does not contain condensed tannins, has been found to be degraded less extensively in the rumen than the protein in other non-tannin legumes. The objective of this study was to determine if there are genetic differences in rumen degradability of the protein in red clover forage. Field grown forage was harvested from 133 red clover entries (117 plant introductions and 16 cultivars or experimental lines) plus one cultivar of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.). Forages were analyzed for total N and for crude protein (CP; <F>N×6.25</F>) that was undegraded at 0 h, as well as for rate of protein degradation and rumen protein escape estimated using a rumen in vitro system. There were small but significant (<F>P=0.007</F>) differences in total N among the 133 red clover entries but no differences in proportion of CP that was undegraded at 0 h. Protein degradation rate was more rapid for the lucerne cultivar than for any of the red clover entries; this difference was significant (<F>P<0.05</F>) for 132 of the red clovers. Protein degradation rate ranged from 0.088 to 0.146/h and rumen protein escape ranged from 287 to 409 g CP/kg CP among red clover entries; effect of accession was highly significant (<F>P<0.001</F>) for both traits. The frequency distributions for the red clover entries for protein degradation rate and rumen protein escape were normal, showing relatively little skewness. The consistency and distribution of these results suggested that conventional plant breeding techniques could be used to develop lines of red clover forage with improved protein utilization in ruminants.

AB  - Properties of natural fibers are influenced by the nature of their surface. Oil Red was evaluated as a histochemical stain for the waxy components on the surface of cotton and flax fibers and of plant cuticles. A positive reaction for arachidyl stearate and differential staining of fibers after sequential extraction of fatty acids and alcohols indicated that Oil Red stained wax components in plant materials. For cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers, Oil Red stained to a greater extent the regions closest to the seed coat, especially at points where fibers attached to the seed coat. Fiber regions at a distance from the seed coats stained irregularly, suggesting that the wax was unevenly distributed. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) bast fibers, in contrast, did not stain with Oil Red, but the protective stem cuticle was intensely stained. The positive histochemical reaction for cuticle identified non-fiber fragments in processed and cleaned flax fibers, thus providing a quick method to detect visually trash components in fiber and products. Likewise, bast fibers from kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) did not stain well with Oil Red, whereas the stem cuticle gave a positive reaction. The general usefulness of Oil Red as a histochemical stain for the plant cuticle was demonstrated in leaves and stems of mature corn (Zea mays) and fresh bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) leaves. Oil Red provides a quick, qualitative histochemical method to demonstrate the wax-containing cuticle in plants. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Methyl salicylate (MeSA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) vapors increased resistance against chilling injury in freshly harvested green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Century). The period within 2 days of cold storage was considered the most critical because chilling injury symptom (surface pitting) was not apparent. The expression patterns of alternative oxidase (AOX) and seven other genes involved in defense against oxidative stress before and during the early chilling period suggested that pre-treatment of pepper fruit with MeSA or MeJA vapors increased preferentially the transcript levels of AOX. Overnight treatment with MeSA or MeJA vapors increased transcript levels of AOX (1.5 kb) even at room temperature of 25 °C, whereas no change was observed with untreated control. In addition to the expected 1.5 kb AOX transcript, RNA gel blot analysis revealed an extra 3.5 kb transcript that was induced only at 0 °C. At 0 °C, both AOX transcripts (1.5 and 3.5 kb) reached maximal levels firstly in MeSA treated fruit, secondly in MeJA treated fruit and lastly in controls. Compared with freshly harvested peppers, overnight treatment of wholesaler peppers with MeJA does not increase AOX transcript level and no differences in chilling injury symptom were observed between treated and control fruit. AOX transcript level in peppers from farm and wholesaler were maintained at a high level as long as the fruits were kept at 0 °C. Transcript levels of AOX (1.5 kb) were increased by storage at low temperature but the steady-state mRNA accumulation rate was faster at 0 than at 5 °C. Alternative respiratory pathway was proposed to mediate chilling injury. Here, we show that the increase in AOX transcript levels by MeJA or MeSA before cold treatment was correlated with reduced incidence of chilling injury. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The high level of DNA polymorphism at the mating-type loci of mushroom fungi has made the cloning of mating-type genes difficult. As an alternative to strategies that employ sequence conservation, an approach utilizing conserved gene order could facilitate the cloning of A mating-type genes from mushroom fungi. It has been shown that a gene encoding a mitochondrial intermediate peptidase (MIP) is very close (<f><</f>1 kbp) to the A mating-type locus of two model mushroom species. In this study, the cosegregation of MIP and the A mating-type locus was studied by genotyping progeny of seven additional mushroom species using PCR and genetic crosses. No evidence of any recombination between MIP and the A mating-type locus was detected among all seven species. Phylogenetic analysis of MIP sequences from diverse mushroom species agrees with the current organismal phylogeny, suggesting the sequences are generally orthologous.Index descriptors: Coprinopsis scobicola; Degenerate PCR; Homobasidiomycete; Phylogeny; Schizophyllum commune [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Corn fiber, a byproduct of corn wet milling, is an attractive feedstock for biomass ethanol production. Corn fiber was hydrolyzed by dilute sulfuric acid and neutralized by one of two methods: conventional lime treatment or neutralization by strongly basic anion exchange. The anion exchange neutralized (AEN) hydrolysate contained substantially lower levels of the inhibiting compounds furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and acetic acid compared to the lime neutralized hydrolysate. In batch fermentations the ethanol yields and final ethanol concentration of the two hydrolysates were similar at 0.32–0.43 g/g and 29–44 g/l, respectively. Sugar consumption in the AEN fermentations was superior. Coupling of a membrane pervaporation unit to a fed-batch fermentation of AEN hydrolysate maintained the ethanol concentration below 25 g/l with complete sugar utilization for approximately 5 days. A concentrated ethanol stream of 17 wt.% ethanol was produced by the pervaporation unit. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Juniper is a small-diameter underutilized lignocellulosic material. We evaluated the efficacy of base-treated juniper fiber (BTJF) for cadmium (Cd2+) sorption and the viability of juniper fiber as a sorbent for removing Cd2+ from water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that carboxylate ion is a major functional group responsible for Cd2+ sorption. The apparent ideal sodium hydroxide concentration for base treatment is approximately 0.5 M. A batch sorption isotherm test showed that equilibrium sorption data were better represented by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. After base treatment, the maximum Cd2+ sorption loading, <f>Qmax</f>, was greatly improved (9.18–29.54 mg/g), despite a decrease in specific surface area. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well for the sorption of Cd2+ onto BTJF. Initial metal ion concentration and treatment alkalinity were found to be major parameters influencing the kinetics of the sorption reaction. As a result of its strong ability to bind cadmium and its faster kinetics in low concentration, BTJF could be an inexpensive and efficient sorbent for removing heavy metals from stormwater runoff.

AB  - The subunit interactions of Rubisco activase were investigated using mutants containing an introduced Cys near the N- and/or C-terminus. Chemical cross-linking of the C-terminal and double insertion mutant produced subunit dimers and dimers plus high ordered oligomers, respectively. Fluorescence measurements with N,N′-dimethyl-N-(iodoacetyl)-N′-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)ethylenediamine showed that the environment around the introduced Cys near the C-terminus becomes more hydrophilic upon nucleotide binding. The Cys insertion mutants catalyzed Rubisco activation and ATP hydrolysis even when the subunits of the C-terminal or double insertion mutants were completely cross-linked. The results indicate that the termini of adjacent activase subunits are in close proximity and can be modified and even joined without affecting enzyme function. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We present herein the partitioning characteristics of anti-Salmonella and anti-Escherichia coli O157 immunomagnetic beads (IMB) with respect to the nonspecific adsorption of several nontarget food-borne organisms with and without an assortment of well-known blocking agents, such as casein, which have been shown to be useful in other immunochemical applications. We found several common food-borne organisms that strongly interacted with both types of IMB, especially with anti-Salmonella form (av <f>ΔG0=−20±4</f> kJ mol−1) even in the presence of casein [1% (w/v): <f>ΔG0=−18±3</f> kJ mol−1; <f>ΔΔG0∼−2</f> kJ mol−1]. However, when one of the most problematic organisms (a native K12-like E. coli isolate; <f>ΔG0=−19±2</f> kJ mol−1) was tested for nonspecific binding in the presence of ι-carrageenan (0.03–0.05%), there was an average decline of ca. 90% in the equilibrium capture efficiency <f>ξ</f> (<f>ΔG0=−11±4</f> kJ mol−1; <f>ΔΔG0∼−8</f> kJ mol−1). Other anionic polysaccharides (0.1% κ-carrageenan and polygalacturonic acid) had no significant effect (av <f>ΔG0=−19±1</f> kJ mol−1; <f>ΔΔG0∼0</f> kJ mol−1). Varying ι-carrageenan from 0% to 0.02% resulted in <f>ξ</f> significantly diminishing from 0.69 (e.g., 69% of the cells captured; <f>ΔG0=−19±3</f> kJ mol−1) to 0.05 (<f>ΔG0=−11±2</f> kJ mol−1; <f>ΔΔG0∼−9</f> kJ mol−1) at about 0.03% ι-carrageenan where <f>ξ</f> leveled off. An optimum blocking ability was achieved with 0.04% ι-carrageenan suspended in 100 mM phosphate buffer. We also demonstrated that the utilization of ι-carrageenan as a blocking agent causes no great loss in the IMBs capture efficiency with respect to the capture of its target organisms, various salmonellae.

AB  - Under the appropriate separation conditions the pulsed discharge helium ionization detector (PDHID) was used to detect hydrogen and methane separated from the matrix components of human breath samples. The sensitivity of this method is over an order of magnitude better than published methods using a flame ionization detector (FID) and a thermal conductivity detector (TCD), and has the further advantage of detecting both analytes with only one detector. Limits of detection were 0.3 ppmv for both hydrogen and methane and the method had a linear dynamic range (LDR) of three orders of magnitude (0.3–400 ppm, v/v). The PDHID was also compared to the FID and the TCD in regard to selectivity, sensitivity and reproducibility for high-speed gas chromatography (HSGC). It was shown that the PDHID is as sensitive as the FID for fast separations but is limited by the difficulty of resolving analyte peaks from O2 and N2. The PDHID was at least three orders of magnitude more sensitive than the TCD for all of the analytes examined. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Lack of interaction between AFLR and AFLJ contributes to nonaflatoxigenicity of Aspergillus sojae

AB  - Aspergillus sojae, which is believed to be a domesticated strain of Aspergillus parasiticus, contains all of the aflatoxin biosynthetic genes but is unable to produce aflatoxins and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for producing fermented foods. In A. parasiticus both aflR, the aflatoxin pathway-specific regulatory gene, and aflJ, a co-activator gene, are necessary for transcription of genes encoding the aflatoxin biosynthetic enzymes. A. sojae aflR differs from A. parasiticus aflR in that it encodes extra His and Ala, and has a pretermination defect that causes truncation of the carboxyl terminus of the predicted protein. A. sojae aflJ differs from A. parasiticus aflJ in that it encodes a predicted protein with Ser39 replaced by Ala and Ser283 replaced by Pro. Steady-state levels of aflatoxin biosynthetic gene transcripts of aflR, aflJ, pksA, nor1, ver1 and omtA in A. sojae as determined by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were much lower than those of A. parasiticus. Yeast two-hybrid assays showed that the truncated A. sojae AFLR did not interact with AFLJ of A. sojae and A. parasiticus but that an A. sojae AFLR reverted to the putative ancestral form interacted normally with AFLJ of A. sojae and A. parasiticus. Deletion analysis showed that both amino- and carboxy-terminal regions of the A. sojae AFLJ were important for the R–J interaction. The truncated A. sojae AFLR thus not only was impaired in its ability to activate transcription of aflatoxin biosynthetic genes, but also was unable to interact with AFLJ, in A. parasiticus both of which are required for normal expression of the aflatoxin biosynthetic genes. Consequently, the lack of aflatoxin-producing ability of A. sojae resulted primarily from two defects in the regulatory mechanism responsible for gene transcription. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In this short work we look at the flow of a second grade fluid due to a stretching sheet coinciding with the plane <f>y=0</f>. Two equal and opposite forces are applied along the <f>x</f>-axis (horizontal plane) in such a way that the origin remains fixed and the velocity of stretching is proportional to the distance from the origin. This problem was studied by Rajagopal et al. [Rheol. Acta 23 (1984) 213; Meccanica 19 (1984) 158] where a perturbation scheme was used to obtain the solution. Using the same similarity transformation given by Rajagopal et al., we solve the full equation numerically, using the method of quasi-linearization of Bellman and Kalaba [Quasilinearization and Non-Linear Boundary Value Problems, American Elsevier, New York, 1965]. Results will be given for the velocity distribution and the shear stress at the wall. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Interleukin-16 is an inflammatory cytokine synthesized as a precursor protein (pro-IL-16). Based on sequence data from an EST cDNA library prepared from intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes of Eimeria-infected chickens, we identified a cDNA that contained a full-length open reading frame of pro-IL-16. The encoded protein, predicted to consist of 607 amino acids, showed 86% sequence identity to duck pro-IL-16 and 49–52% identity to various mammalian homologues. By Northern blot analysis, IL-16 transcripts were identified in chicken lymphoid tissues but none of the non-lymphoid tissues examined. A recombinant protein containing the 149 C-terminal amino acids of pro-IL-16, expressed in COS-7 cells, showed chemoattractant activity for splenic lymphocytes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Two stick-like acridids (Orthoptera: Proscopiidae) from Argentina, Anchocoema bidentata Mello-Leitao and Astroma saltense Mello-Leitao, were evaluated as potential biological control agents of creosote bush ( Larrea tridentata (DC.) Coville) in the southwestern United States. Their biology, behavior and geographic distribution of those species were studied. The host plant ranges for both insects were established through nymph feeding preference and development tests in the laboratory and in the field. A total of 33 species of plants belonging to 13 families were tested. Anchocoema bidentata and A. saltense are mimetic species, having as many as three generations a year, and exhibit strong sexual dimorphism; females are larger and less mobile than males. In both species, females laid egg masses in the soil. First instars appeared in the field at the end of the spring, the second generation at mid-summer, and a third at the end of the summer. Adults of A. bidentata and A. saltense appeared in the field at the beginning of the spring. The laboratory multiple-choice feeding test showed that A. bidentata preferred Larrea divaricata Cav., whereas A. saltense preferred L. divaricata and L. cuneifolia Cav. In the nymph development test (no choice), A. bidentata was able to complete its development only on L. divaricata and L. cuneifolia, while Astroma saltense completed its development on six plant species: L divaricata, L. cuneifolia, Bulnesia retama (Gillies ex Hooker et Arnott), B. schickendantzi Hieron (all Zygophyllaceae), Zuccagnia punctata Cav., and Prosopis torquata (Cav. Ap. Lag.) (both Fabaseae). We concluded that A. bidentata could be a biocontrol agent for L. tridentata because the first instar can complete its development only on Larrea spp. Regarding A. saltense , this species showed a wide host range and should not be considered as a biological control agent of L. tridentata .

AB  - The capture of CO2 from gas streams has been achieved by the utilization of amine-enriched fly ash carbon sorbent system. The initial fly ash carbon sorbents were generated by the chemical treatment of carbon-enriched fly ash concentrates with a 3-chloropropylamine-hydrochloride (CPAHCL) solution at 25 °C. It was determined that these amine-enriched fly ash carbon sorbents performed at a 9% CO2 capture capacity based on commercially available sorbents. The chemical sorption performance of these amine-enriched fly ash carbon sorbents will be described within this paper. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Molecular transformation is commonly offered as a hope to overcome the apparent stagnation in crop yield potential. A basic understanding of the resource limits imposed on crops and the yield hierarchy going from gene expression to harvestable yield leads to a rather negative view that transformations of a few, or even of a complex of genes will result directly in major yield increases. Forty years of biochemical and physiological research illustrate the great difficulty in translating research at the basic level into improvements in crop yield. However, there are a few cases where physiological research has led to improved crop cultivars with increased yield. These successes are instructive in highlighting key elements required to achieve success in developing crop cultivars for increased yield. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Prior studies involving two methods, Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA) and TreeMap, have found BPA to be the more reliable method. Recent criticisms leveled at these studies argue that the tests were unfairly created and biased in favor of BPA. The authors of a recent critique offered new exemplars to demonstrate flaws in BPA, plus a simple fix to correct the flaws found in TreeMap. A re-evaluation of their exemplars clearly shows that the authors' calculations are incorrect, their understanding of the methods is lacking, and that their simple fix does not work. Additional analyses using TreeMap 2.02 are run to show that TreeMap 2.02, like TreeMap 1.0, cannot adequately deal with widespread parasites, contrary to the claims of its supporters. Furthermore, the exemplars corroborate previous findings that BPA, when calculated correctly, is more reliable than TreeMap1.0 and TreeMap 2.02 and therefore the method of choice in coevolutionary and biogeographic studies.

AB  - In February 2000, a detailed measurement campaign was conducted over a 9-day period within a mercury (Hg) cell chlor-alkali plant in the southeastern United States (US). The principal focus of this study was to determine the fugitive (non-ducted) airborne Hg emissions from the main production equipment located in the “cell building” during extended period operations, including maintenance events. Other Hg monitoring conducted in and around the plant also included surveys of process areas surrounding the cell building, measurement of Hg fluxes from soil and other exposed surfaces, and speciated Hg measurements of ambient air both “upwind” and “downwind” of the production area as well as the determination of Hg contained in output products and wastes. The study was a collaborative effort among scientists from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Energy''s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Michigan. This paper provides a description of the facility, the rationale and design of the study, and an introduction to companion papers containing the observational data. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Silverleaf whitefly (SLW) (Bemisia argentifolii Bellows and Perring) feeding on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants induces a disorder in the fruit known as irregular ripening. The effects of silverleaf whitefly feeding on ripening of tomato fruit both attached to and detached from the plant are described. ‘Florida Petite’ tomatoes free of SLW, attached to the plant, began an ethylene climacteric between 40 and 45 days after anthesis (DAA), coincident with a rapid increase in red color and loss of firmness. The ethylene climacteric began between 45 and 50 DAA in tomato fruit from plants infested with SLW, and the fruit developed less red color and softened less than did fruit from plants free of SLW. Fruit harvested 45 DAA from plants free of SLW reached the respiratory and ethylene climacteric peak 3 days after harvest, developed normal red color, and softened similar to fruit ripened on the plant. In contrast, fruit harvested 45, 50 or 55 DAA from SLW-infested plants showed no respiratory or ethylene climacteric, had poor color development, and did not soften to the same extent as did fruit from plants free of SLW.

AB  - Spirea aphid populations and their predators were studied on apple to identify predators of importance in controlling aphid populations. Methods included random and non-random sampling from apple orchards in West Virginia, USA, sentinel aphid colonies, laboratory feeding studies, and predator exclusion studies. Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), chrysopids (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), and Orius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) were the most abundant predators associated with spirea aphid colonies on apple. Parasitoids were all but absent in the study. Abundance of all predators was density dependent with greater responses to aphid populations at the orchard scale than to tree or individual colony scales. A. aphidimyza, O. insidiosus, chrysopids, and syrphids (Diptera) had the greatest degree of density dependence on aphid populations, and spiders showed inverse density dependence. Exclusion of predators with both cages and insecticides produced significantly higher aphid populations. Because of high abundance, good synchrony with aphid populations, and high impact per individual, H. axyridis adults were the most important spirea aphid predator on apple. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A new method involving concurrent solid-phase microextraction combined with continuous hydrodistillation of essential oil was developed. This new methodology allowed for the detection by GC–MS of very small amounts of a diagnostic peak for the authentication of Ephedra sinica, in a short period of time and using only small sample sizes. This diagnostic peak was identified as 4-vinylanisole, and elucidated from the chromatographic profile allowed for the identification of a sample as E. sinica among other species investigated in this study. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on using continuous solid-phase microextraction coupled to hydrodistillation for the investigation of essential oil components, and the first report of 4-vinylanisole as a marker compound for E. sinica. A total of 46 collections representing 21 species of Ephedra were studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The potential for competitive inhibition to limit the growth of microbial pathogens in food raises questions about the external validity of typical predictive microbiology studies and suggests the need to consider microbial community dynamics in food safety risk assessment. Ecological theory indicates, however, that community dynamics are highly complex and may be very sensitive to initial conditions and random variation. Seemingly incongruous empirical results for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef are shown to be consistent with a simple theoretical model of interspecific competition. A potential means of incorporating community-level microbial dynamics into the food safety risk assessment process is explored. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Recently, there have been efforts to manufacture single-use articles, such as fast food packaging and containers, from biodegradable materials. Starch-based foams have been developed to replace the expanded polystyrene foam packaging currently in use. Starch-based foams are water sensitive, and thus, their mechanical properties are susceptible to changes in relative humidity. In this report, aspen fiber was added to baked cornstarch foams to improve its mechanical properties. Foam trays were made with fiber content of the batter ranging from 2.5 to 45%. The starch–fiber composite foam trays were formed by heating a starch-based batter inside a closed mold. The trays were stored at different relative humidities (5, 20, 50, 81, and 93%) for 1 week prior to mechanical testing. Aspen fiber increased the baking time needed to make a complete tray. Batters containing greater than 15% fiber needed to be added in higher amounts to the mold to make complete trays. The strength of the foam trays increased as fiber content of the trays increased, until fiber content reached about 15%. Trays containing between 15 and 30% fibers had no significant difference in tray strength. Trays containing more than 30% fiber had lower tray strength. The lower tray strength was thought to be due to the lack of uniform fiber distribution at high fiber content. Displacement of the trays at break was also affected by fiber content. The effect of fiber on displacement at break was greatest at extreme relative humidities. At low humidity (5%), displacement at break went from 2.2 to 5.4 mm as fiber content increased from 2.5 to 40%. Displacement at break increased from 9 to 20 mm as the fiber content increased from 2.5 to 40% for trays stored at 93% relative humidity. Fiber content did not effect displacement at break for trays stored at moderate relative humidities. Fiber content of 15% was adequate to increase the tray strength. Greater amounts of fiber (up to 30%) can be added without detrimental affects to strength, but increasing fiber above 15% increased baking time and increased the amount of batter needed to make a complete tray.

AB  - Numerical analysis is carried out to examine the effects of thermo-solutal convection on the formation of complex patterns in directionally solidified binary alloys. A finite-difference analysis is used for dynamic modeling of a two-dimensional prototype of the vertical Bridgman system that takes into account heat transfer in the melt, crystal, and the ampoule, as well as the melt flow and solute transport. Actual temperature data from experimental measurements are used for accurately describing the thermal boundary conditions. A range of complex dynamical behavior is predicted in the melt flow due to flow transitions and this is found to be directly related to the spatial patterns observed experimentally in the solidified alloys. The model is applied to single phase solidification in the Al–Cu and Pb–Sn systems to characterize the effect of convection on the macroscopic shape of the interface. The application of the model to hyper-peritectic alloys in the Sn–Cd system shows that the presence of oscillating flow can give rise to a novel convection induced microstructure in which a tree-like primary phase in the center of the sample is embedded in the surrounding peritectic matrix.

AB  - The recent completion of the human genome sequence has enabled the identification of a large fraction of our gene catalogue and their physical chromosomal position. However, current efforts lag at defining the cis-regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal patterns of each gene's expression. This task remains difficult due to our lack of knowledge of the vocabulary controlling gene regulation and the vast genomic search space, with greater than 95% of our genome being noncoding. Recent comparative genomic-based strategies are beginning to aid in the identification of functional sequences based on their high levels of evolutionary conservation. This has proven successful for comparisons between closely related species such as human-primate or human-mouse, but also holds true for distant evolutionary comparisons, such as human-fish or human-bird. In this review we provide support for the utility of cross-species sequence comparisons by illustrating several applications of this strategy, including the identification of new genes and functional non-coding sequences. We also discuss emerging concepts as this field matures, such as how to properly select which species for comparison, which may differ significantly between independent studies.

The authors measured the postfire runoff and erosion of straw wattle, contour-felled log, and hand-dug contour trench erosion barriers. Runoff from simulated rainfall was significantly less from straw wattle, and contour-felled log compared to controls. Total sediment yield was also less for the straw wattle. The total available storage capacity was greater than the erosion barrier sediment storage used.

AB  - In species management and conservation, surrogate species or groups of species can be used as proxies for broader sets of species when the number of species of concern is too great to allow each to be considered individually. However, these surrogate approaches are not applicable to all situations. In this article we discuss how the nature of the ecological system, the objectives arid scale of management, and the level of available knowledge influence the decision about using a surrogate approach. We use species-area relations to define a "surrogate zone" in which the approach may be most effective. Using the Interior Columbia Basin of the northwestern United States as an example, we outline 10 steps that may enhance the effectiveness of surrogate approaches. Using a surrogate approach necessarily entails a trade-off between management tailored to individual species and less precise practices that may apply to a broader array of species. Ultimately, the use of a surrogate approach depends on the level of uncertainty that is acceptable in conducting management or conservation activities--in other words, "How good is good enough?"

AB  - The emerging discipline of urban ecology is shifting focus from ecological processes embedded within cities to integrative studies of large urban areas as biophysical-social complexes. Yet this discipline lacks a theory. Results from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network, expose new assumptions and test existing assumptions about urban ecosystems. The findings suggest a broader range of structural and functional relationships than is often assumed for urban ecological systems. We address the relationships between social status and awareness of environmental problems, and between race and environmental hazard. We present patterns of species diversity, riparian function, and stream nitrate loading. In addition, we probe the suitability of land-use models, the diversity of soils, and the potential for urban carbon sequestration. Finally, we illustrate lags between social patterns and vegetation, the biogeochemistry of lawns, ecosystem nutrient retention, and social-biophysical feedbacks. These results suggest a framework for a theory of urban ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A diverse array of fire-adapted plant communities once covered the eastern United States. European settlement greatly altered fire regimes, often increasing fire occurrence (e.g., in northern hardwoods) or substantially decreasing it (e.g., in tallgrass prairies). Notwithstanding these changes, fire suppression policies, beginning around the 1920s, greatly reduced fire throughout the East, with profound ecological consequences. Fire-maintained open lands converted to closed-canopy forests. As a result of shading, shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive plants began to replace heliophytic (sun-loving), fire-tolerant plants. A positive feedback cycle--which we term "mesophication"--ensued, whereby microenvironmental conditions (cool, damp, and shaded conditions; less flammable fuel beds) continually improve for shads-tolerant mesophytic species and deteriorate for shade-intolerant, fire-adapted species. Plant communities are undergoing rapid compositional and structural changes, some with no ecological antecedent. Stand-level species richness is declining, and will decline further, as numerous fire-adapted plants are replaced by a limited set of shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive species. As this process continues, the effort and cost required to restore fire-adapted ecosystems escalate rapidly [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study sought to evaluate the potential of trees planted around commercial poultry farms to trap ammonia (NH3), the gas of greatest environmental concern to the poultry industry. Four plant species (Norway spruce, Spike hybrid poplar, Streamco willow, and hybrid willow) were planted on eight commercial farms from 2003 to 2004. Because temperature (T) can be a stressor for trees, T was monitored in 2005 with data loggers among the trees in front of the exhaust fans (11.4 to 17.7 m) and at a control distance away from the fans (48 m) during all four seasons in Pennsylvania. Norway spruce (Picea abies) foliage samples were taken in August 2005 from one turkey and two layer farms for dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) analysis. The two layer farms had both Norway spruce and Spike hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra) plantings sampled as well allowing comparisons of species and the effect of plant location near the fans versus a control distance away. Proximity to the fans had a clear effect on spruce foliar N with greater concentrations downwind of the fans than at control distances (3.03 vs. 1.88%; P ≤ 0.0005). Plant location was again a significant factor for foliar N of both poplar and spruce on the two farms with both species showing greater N adjacent to the fans compared to the controls (3.75 vs. 2.32%; P ≤ 0.0001). Pooled foliar DM of both plants was also greater among those near the fans (56.17, fan vs. 44.67%, control; P ≤ 0.005). Species differences were also significant showing the potential of poplar to retain greater foliar N than spruce (3.52 vs. 2.55%; P ≤ 0.001) with less DM (46.00 vs. 54.83%; P ≤ 0.05) in a vegetative buffer setting. The results indicated plants were not stressed by the T near exhaust fans with mean seasonal T (13.04 vs. 13.03°C, respectively) not significantly different from controls. This suggested poultry house exhaust air among the trees near the fans would not result in dormancy stressors on the plants compared to controls away from the fans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Tropospheric O3 reduces growth and yield of many crop species, whereas CO2 ameliorates the negative effects of O3. Thus, in a combined elevated CO2 and O3 atmosphere, seed yield is at least restored to that of charcoal-filtered (CF) air at ambient CO2. The CO2-induced yield increase in CF air is highly variable, suggesting other potential resource limitations. To understand such variability in response, we tested that (1) competition for resources precludes some of the CO2 enhancement on biomass and yield; and (2) O3 reduces competition in elevated CO2. We grew rice ( Oryza sativa L.) at five densities in CF and O3-fumigated (+O3) air at ambient (A) and elevated [CO2] (+CO2) in 1997 and 1998. O3 reduced biomass by 25% and seed yield by 13–20% in A, but had little effect in +CO2. A competition model of biomass and yield response to density based on resource availability without competition showed that fewer resources were used for biomass in +O3 than in CF (average 53% vs. 70%) in A, while in +CO2 85% of resources were used for biomass regardless of O3 suggesting greater depletion of resources. The enhanced biomass response to CO2 with O3 is consistent with a 22% greater CO2 enhancement ratio [mass in +CO2 air/mass in A air; enhancement ratio (ER)] in +O3 than in CF air. For seed yield, few resources were used (average 17% and 25% for CF in 1997 and 1998, respectively), and ER was 13% greater in +O3. With competition the rate of change of individual plant biomass to density was not affected by +CO2 in CF air in 1997 but was increased 19% with more nutrients in 1998, indicating resource limitations with +CO2. The rate of change of individual plant yield to density was reduced with CO2 in 1997 and unchanged in 1998 showing a different response to resource limitation for reproductive biomass. The resource use in +O3-A suggested that increased density and soil fertility might compensate for pollutant damage. Although ambient [O3] can modulate the response to elevated CO2, resource limitation precludes the CO2 fertilization impact and both factors need consideration for better management and forecasts of future productivity.

AB  - Abstract: The capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from a simulated flue gas stream was achieved by utilizing immobilized tertiary amine solid sorbents. The tertiary amine immobilized in these solid substrates was 1, 8 Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and it has the stoichiometric capability of capturing carbon dioxide at a 1:1 R-NH2:CO2 molar ratio. This is a unique feature compared to other primary and secondary amines which capture CO2 at a 2:1 molar ratio, thus making the immobilized DBU solid sorbents competitive with existing commercially available sorbents and liquid amine-based capture systems. The immobilized DBU solid sorbents prepared in this study exhibit acceptable CO2 capture capacities of 3.0mol CO2/kg sorbent at 298K; however, at the critical operational temperature of 338K, the capacity was reduced to 2.3mol/kg sorbent. The DBU sorbents did exhibit acceptable stability over the adsorption/desorption temperature range of 298–360K based on XPS and TGA analyses. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N-Caffeoyltyramine was the most potent with GI50=10 μM. The treatment of the cells with N-caffeoyltyramine activated caspase-3 activity, and inhibited the growth of cells via decreasing in protein tyrosine kinase activity including epidermal growth factor receptor. These data indicate that N-caffeoyltyramine is most potent compound, inducing cell death of the cancer cells by inhibiting protein tyrosine kinases and activating caspase-3 activity.

AB  - The stratospheric ozone decrease has heightened concern over the ecological implications of increasing solar UV-B radiation on agricultural production and natural plant ecosystems. UV-B is absorbed, and can damage many important plant species through a variety of interacting mechanisms. The effects of enhanced UV-B exposure on yield and yield formation of winter wheat associated with photosynthetic activity and total biomass development were investigated in this study. The overall experimental design included three UV-B treatments (two supplemental UV-B treatments and an ambient level) with three replicates of each treatment. Results suggested that the supplemental UV-B can cause the decrease of yield of winter wheat up to 24% with 11.4% increased UV-B. Supplemental UVB decreased dry matter accumulation most during the jointing–booting stage when the leaf area index (LAI) was the greatest. In addition, the supplemental U-VB appeared to effect the distribution of dry matter but did not effect the net assimilation ratio of the wheat. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We have investigated the wetting and reaction behavior of two less common transition element additives to braze alloys to learn more about their reaction and bonding mechanisms. Alloys of Ag with different amounts of Hf or Zr were reacted in a controlled atmosphere furnace with sapphire, alumina of 99.6 and 96% purity, and fused silica. We determined contact angles during heating and examined cross sections after cooling using electron analytical techniques. Different interfacial microstructures were obtained when the active metal was varied in an otherwise constant system. The Hf-containing alloys reacted with polycrystalline Al2O3 and had a dispersion of Hf-containing particles near the interface. If there were a reaction layer with the Al2O3 it was below the resolution of the analysis. By contrast, Zr reaction products were more evident and appeared to have diffused away from the interface into the alloy. The microstructural observations are interpreted using available thermodynamic data and known phase relations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Glyptapanteles indiensis is a polydnavirus-carrying wasp that parasitizes early instar gypsy moth larvae. During oviposition, the wasp injects calyx fluid containing polydnavirus along with its eggs into the host. Within the host, expression of polydnavirus genes triggers a set of changes in host physiology, which are of critical importance for the survival of the wasp. In the present study, a G. indiensis polydnavirus (GiPDV) gene, represented by cDNA clone GiPDV 1.1, was selected for expression analysis in the parasitized host. The GiPDV 1.1 gene transcript was detected in host hemolymph 30 min post-parasitization (pp) and continued to be detected for six days. The level of GiPDV 1.1 expression varied in different host tissues and expression in the brain was lower than in the hemolymph. The findings suggest that GiPDV 1.1 could be involved in early protection of parasitoid eggs from host cellular encapsulation. The temporal and spatial variations in PDV gene expression in different host tissues post-parasitization affirm their specific host regulation mechanism. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Inorganic and organic anions can be separated on an ordinary silica C18 column using a mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) and an aminosulfonic acid zwitterion reagent (MOPS). The pH of this eluent is close to 7 and the background conductivity is about 50 μS, which is low enough to permit anion analyte detection by direct conductivity. Linear calibration curves were obtained for the six anions studied and detection limits ranged from 0.075 to 0.15 mg/l (ppm) for the five inorganic anions. The method was applied to the determination of water-soluble anions in aerosol samples at concentrations as low as 0.3 mg/l. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We have previously shown that swine inoculated with recombinant, replication-defective human adenovirus type 5 containing the porcine interferon alpha gene (Ad5-pIFNα) are completely protected when challenged 1 day later with virulent foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In the current study, we examined the duration of protection afforded swine by Ad5-pIFNα and the ability of a combination of Ad5-pIFNα and a FMDV subunit vaccine delivered by Ad5-A24 (an Ad5 vector containing the capsid coding region of FMDV serotype A24 Cruzeiro and the 3C proteinase coding region of FMDV serotype A12) to induce immediate as well as long-lasting protection against homologous FMDV challenge. Groups of swine were inoculated with Ad5-pIFNα and challenged with virulent FMDV A24 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postinoculation (dpi) or 1 day preinoculation. All animals challenged 1 and 3 dpi were completely protected from disease. The animals in the remaining groups had either no clinical signs of disease or clinical signs were delayed and less severe compared to the control group. Swine inoculated with a combination of Ad5-pIFNα and Ad5-A24 and challenged 5 dpi were all completely protected from disease and developed a significant FMDV-specific neutralizing antibody response.

AB  - We have determined the abilities of (E)-ferulic acid, (E)-p-coumaric acid and (E,E)-5-5-dehydrodiferulic acid to protect against different types of mutation in a simple bacterial model. These antimutagenic properties were compared with those of the related compound curcumin, and also with those of an extract containing hydroxycinnamic acids obtained by the saponification of the cell walls of wheat coleoptiles. Three known mutagens, bleomycin, hydrogen peroxide and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) were used to chemically induce reversion mutation, while the known antimutagen Trolox was used as a positive control. Both the pure hydroxycinnamic acids and the extract from the cell walls showed antimutagenic properties. It is known that hydroxycinnamic acids ester-linked to plant cell walls can be released in the human colon by the action of microbial esterases. Providing the current data extrapolate to mammalian cells, they suggest that antimutagenic properties of hydroxycinnamic acids released from plant cell walls could play a role in dietary fibre protection against cancer.

AB  - Insulin resistance leads to the inability of insulin to control the utilization and storage of glucose. It is associated initially with elevated levels of circulating insulin followed by glucose intolerance which may progress to type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. While the causes of these diseases are multifactorial, one nutrient that is associated with all of these abnormalities is Cr. In the presence of Cr, in a biologically active form, much lower levels of insulin are required. Modern diets, which are often high in refined carbohydrates, are not only low in Cr, but lead to enhanced Cr losses. In response to the consumption of refined carbohydrates, there is a rapid rise in blood sugar leading to elevations in insulin that cause a mobilization of Cr. Once mobilized, Cr is not reabsorbed but lost via the urine leading to decreased Cr stores. Several studies involving both human subjects and experimental animals have reported improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood glucose, insulin, lipids, haemoglobin A1c, lean body mass and related variables in response to improved Cr nutrition. However, not all studies have reported beneficial effects associated with improved Cr nutrition. Well-controlled human studies are needed to document an unequivocal effect of Cr on insulin sensitivity in human subjects. Studies need to involve a significant number of subjects with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance or early stages of diabetes, who have not been taking supplements containing Cr for at least 4 months, and involve at least 400 to 600 μg supplemental Cr daily or more. Studies should be at least 4 months to document sustained effects of supplemental Cr on insulin resistance and related variables. Cr is a nutrient and not a therapeutic agent and therefore will only be of benefit to those whose problems are due to suboptimal intake of Cr.Chromium: Insulin resistance: Type 2 diabetes mellitus: Glucose metabolism: Supplementation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Inactivation rates of a cocktail of Salmonella spp. in sous vide cooked beef exposed to varied ‘come-up’ heating times of zero (control), and 1–3 h from 10 °C to the processing temperature of 58 °C were examined. The observed survival curves, determined for 58 °C, displayed a slight ‘shoulder’ followed by a non-zero asymptotic D-values. Comparisons of the survival curves confirm that the rate of heating can substantially influence the heat resistance of Salmonella spp. While there was no significant difference between the estimated asymptotic D-values for the control and 1-h come-up heating time survival curves, the estimated D-values were significantly larger for the 2- and 3-h come-up heating times curves. The estimated averages of the asymptotic D-values for the control and 1-h come-up time survival curves are approximately 5.7 min; for the 2-h come-up time curves, 7 min; and for the 3-h come-up time curves, 8 min. These findings could have substantial practical importance to food processors in sous vide cooked beef that are processed by slow heating rate/long come-up times and low heating temperatures.

AB  - The objectives of this study were to 1) identify highly heterozygous Holstein bulls that are as unrelated as possible and widely used in the US dairy industry; 2) quantify the level of genetic diversity in US Holsteins; and 3) determine the extent of background linkage disequilibrium (BLD) and disease trait associated linkage disequilibrium (DLD) in the US Holstein population. Twenty-three Holstein bulls that are not closely related but were widely used in the US dairy industry were genotyped for 54 microsatellite loci. The genotyping was performed on automated DNA sequencers (PE Applied Biosystems, CA), following polymerase chain reaction amplification with fluorescent dye-labeled primers. The heterozygosity for the sampled population ranged from 0.43 to 0.80. This wide range of heterozygosity allows selection of the most heterozygous bulls to develop informative families for gene mapping studies. The degree of genetic diversity in this population is significant and allows selection for traits of economic importance. As expected, there is extensive linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the US Holstein population. About half of the syntenic marker pairs presented a typical pattern of LD produced by DLD. Most of the nonsyntenic marker pairs had a typical pattern of LD arising from BLD. These results suggest that the observed LD is not purely due to genetic drift and migration and that a portion might be due to DLD. This raises our hopes of successful fine-localization of genes for complex traits using LD mapping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Foodborne botulism is caused by potent neurotoxins of Clostridium botulinum. We investigated a large outbreak of foodborne botulism among church supper attendees in Texas. We conducted a cohort study of attendees and investigated the salvage store that sold the implicated foods. We identified 15 cases of botulism (40%) among 38 church supper attendees. Nine patients (60%) had botulinum toxin type A detected in stool specimens. The diagnosis was delayed in 3 cases. Fifteen (63%) of 24 attendees who ate a chili dish developed botulism (relative risk, undefined; P < .001). The chili dish was prepared with “brand X” or “brand Y” frozen chili, “brand Z” canned chili, and hot dogs. An unopened container of brand X chili yielded type A toxin. Brand X chili was purchased at a salvage store where perishable foods were inadequately refrigerated. Our investigation highlights the need to improve clinicians’ awareness of botulism. More rigorous and more unannounced inspections may be necessary to detect food mishandling at salvage stores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - For Apicomplexa (members) the host cell invasion is realized with the help of the organelles located at the apical tip of parasites. In this research paper the characterization of five chicken monoclonal antibodies (mabs) produced against Eimeria acervulina sporozoites is described. All mabs reacted with molecules belonging to the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites. On immunofluorescence assay (IFA) one mab, 8E-1, recognized an apical tip molecule present on all chicken Eimeria sporozoites, two mabs (8D-2 and HE-4) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of the same two Eimeria species (E. acervulina and E. brunetti), another mab (5D-11) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of other two species (E. acervulina and E. maxima) while one mab (8C-3) identified antigens present on the sporozoites and sporocysts wall of only E. acervulina. Besides the apical tip antigens, two mabs (HE-4 and 8D-2) recognized some proteins located in the anterior half of the sporozoites. Collectively, these mabs proved that the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites share one or more antigens that are expected to play a role in host cell recognition and invasion.

AB  - After the initiation of gravity drainage, water is often assumed to be either (a) draining under unit gradient, or (b) at capillary/gravity equilibrium. Both of these simplifications can be useful, but the regimes of validity of each assumption must be delineated. Water pressures are measured versus time and distance as water drains out of a 1.6 m long sand column to determine the relative effects of capillary and gravitational forces during drainage. For medium sized sands (0.15–0.3 mm in diameter), the capillary pressure is constant in space in a large region of the column for over 12 days, and the water continues to flow under unit gradient for relatively long time scales. Similar results are seen for finer sands, but with a much faster approach to equilibrium. Numerical simulations and analytical estimates are presented and compare favorably to the measurements. Together, the experimental, theoretical and analytical results are used to calculate when capillary/gravity equilibrium is reached as a function of porous media properties and length of the unsaturated zone. The ratio of the length of the unsaturated zone to the bubbling pressure is a key parameter in determining the drainage regime, and that even for relatively short unsaturated zones the equilibrium time scale can be on the order of years.

The governing equations are solved using an iterative central difference approximation method in a non-uniform grid domain. The effects of the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid and the heat flux parameter on the thermal boundary layer are also presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A high-performance anion-exchange chromatographic method was developed for the separation of phytic acid and other inositol phosphates (myo-inositol bis-, tris-, tetrakis-, and pentakisphosphates) with gradient elution and ultraviolet absorbance detection after post-column derivatization. With the acidic eluents, the combination of anion-exchange and ion suppression retention mechanisms led to the separation of 35 inositol phosphates (excluding enantiomers) into 27 peaks for the first time, and the retention behaviors of all myo-inositol bis- to hexakisphosphate isomers were studied. The whole separation procedure was completed within 65 min. Based on the investigations of nonenzymatic hydrolysis of phytic acid under different conditions by using this method, an in-house reference standard solution was produced, which can be used for method development. In addition, by applying this method to in vitro kinetic studies, at least one new enzymatic hydrolysis pathway of phytic acid was found, and one rule of enzymatic dephosphorylation of inositol phosphates (position effect) was proposed and another one (neighboring effect) was confirmed. The principle of the proposed identification approach for several inositol phosphate isomers based on hydrolysis products study will be applicable to other natural products analysis, for which standards are very expensive or not available.

AB  - In this study, the evolution of the flow stress for grain sizes ranging from about 11 to 1 µm under shear deformation was examined using two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics. The grain boundaries were assumed to be both the only sources for nucleation of the dislocations and also the only obstacles to the dislocation motion. The analyses were confined to a single-slip system within each grain, with various orientations with respect to the slip system of neighbouring grains. The simulations were carried out for two sets of system sizes. In the first set of simulations the grain morphology was kept constant and the simulation unit cell size varied from 25 µm × 25 µm to 2.5 µm × 2.5 µm. In the second set of simulations the simulation unit-cell size was kept at 25 µm × 25 µm and the grain size was varied. For the grain-size ranges considered, an inverse relationship between the grain size and 0.2% offset flow stress in the form of the Hall-Petch relationship with a d -1/2 dependence was observed, although there is some uncertainty in the exponent. The evolution of flow stress follows a narrow band when expressed as a function of dislocation density divided by the dislocation source density and hence suggests a scaling with the grain size, as seen in an earlier study.

AB  - The objective of the review is to provide fundamental knowledge on the chemical composition and structural characteristics of flax fibres. These are long and multinucleate cells without septum or partition (average length 2–5 cm) and have a secondary wall of very large thickness (5–15 μm). Fibres are gathered in bundles of one to three dozen cells that encircle the vascular cylinder. The bundle cohesion is insured by pectins, accumulating in the primary wall and cell junctions. In contrast, lignin, which is present in very low amount, does not seem to play a major role in bundle cohesion. At maturity, secondary wall is characterised by (i) a high level of cellulose with microfibrils locked into an almost axial direction and (ii) 5–15% non-cellulosic polysaccharides (NCPs). The chemical composition of NCPs depends on growth stage, indicating important cell wall remodelling, fibre position and variety. Despite the large disparity of the results reported in the literature, galactose appears to be the predominant sugar of NCPs, and β-1-4-galactan together with rhamnogalacturonan of type I (RG-I) and polygalacturonic acid (PGA) become, with fibre maturity, the most abundant tightly bound NCPs. Glycine-rich proteins (GRPs) and arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), also present in flax fibres, are both characterised by appreciable levels of glycine and acidic amino acid and are deficient in hydroxyproline, and may contribute to the cross-linking of pectins. (Galacto)glucomanans/glucans rather than xylans consist of cross-linking polymers in fibre secondary wall. A model is proposed where cellulose microfibrils, tethered by cross-linking (galacto)glucomanans/glucans, are embedded in a pectic matrix. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A high-efficiency, negative surface ionization source, equipped with spherical-sector LaB6 ionizer, has been developed for generating radioactive beams of highly electronegative species for accelerator-based nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics research. The source utilizes direct-surface ionization to form negative-ion beams resulting from interactions between highly electronegative atoms or molecules and a hot (∼1722 °C) LaB6 surface. Even though this type of ionizer has a widely publicized propensity for being easily poisoned, no evidence of this effect was experienced during testing of the source. The source has been extensively evaluated off-line in terms of ionization efficiency for generating beams of Cl− and Br− by feeding AlCl3 and AlBr3 vapors at low-feed rates into the source. The geometry of the ionization volume is designed to minimize direct losses of neutral particles through the extraction aperture and to enhance the probability for striking the LaB6 ionizer. The source is reliable, stable and easy to operate, and ionizes Cl− and Br− with efficiencies for formation and extraction of 30% and 20%, respectively. The design features, principles of operation, off-line performance, operational-parameter and beam-quality (emittance) data for the source are presented in this article. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A simple, fast, and direct procedure was developed for the simultaneous determination of the methanol and acetic acid present as esters in the plant cell wall polysaccharide pectin. After base-hydrolysis of esters and acidification of pectin samples, headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was performed using a Carboxen-PDMS fiber assembly. Methanol and acetic acid were separated by gas chromatography with a Chrompak PoraPlot Q capillary column and detected using electron impact mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. Stable deuterated isotopomers (d3-methanol and d3-acetic acid) were used as internal standards and for constructing calibration curves, providing accurate and absolute quantification of analytes. The methanol and acetic acid contents in 1 mg quantities of fruit and vegetable pectins were readily quantified by this procedure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Evaluation of analyte protectants to improve gas chromatographic analysis of pesticides

AB  - A common problem in gas chromatography (GC) applications is the analyte losses and/or peak tailing due to undesired interactions with active sites in the inlet and column. Analytes that give poor peak shapes or degrade have higher detection limits, are more difficult to identify and integrate, and are more prone to interferences than stable analytes that give narrow peaks. For susceptible analytes, significant peak quality improvements are obtained when matrix components are present because they fill active sites, thus reducing analyte interactions. This phenomenon is called “matrix-induced chromatographic response enhancement.” Several approaches have been proposed to minimize peak distortion phenomena and compensate for matrix-induced effects, which is especially important for accurate quantitation, but each approach has serious limitations for routine multi-pesticide analysis. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of using “analyte protectants” to provide a more convenient and effective solution to the problem than other approaches developed thus far. The protecting agents are added to extracts and matrix-free standards alike to provide the chromatographic enhancement effect even for the most susceptible analytes in a very dirty GC system. In this study, we evaluated 93 different compounds to find the most suitable ones for improving chromatographic quality of the signal. Because hydrogen bonding has been shown to be an important factor in analyte interactions with active sites, we mainly focused on additives with strong hydrogen bonding capabilities. Dramatic peak enhancements were achieved using compounds containing multiple hydroxy groups, such as sugars and sugar derivatives, and gulonolactone appears to be the most effective protecting agent for the most pesticides that we tested. The benefits of using analyte protectants versus alternative procedures for overcoming matrix-induced effects in quantitation include: (a) simpler procedure; (b) easier integration of peaks; (c) lower detection limits; (d) better quantitation; (e) less maintenance of the GC inlet; and (e) lower cost. However, long-term influences on the performance of the chromatographic system have yet to be established. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We report the use of six oligoprobes designed from intergenic spacer region sequences to identify fourth-stage larvae (L4) of the tribe Cyathostominae. Oligoprobes were designed for identification of the following species: Cylicocyclus ashworthi, Cylicocyclus nassatus, Cylicocyclus insigne, Cyathostomum catinatum, Cylicostephanus goldi, and Cylicostephanus longibursatus. A seventh probe was designed as a positive control to identify all these members of the Cyathostominae. The intergenic spacer region was amplified by PCR using conserved primers. Initially, three oligoprobes were used in Southern blot analysis. To facilitate high-throughput identification, these and a further four oligoprobes were developed for use in a PCR–ELISA. All probes were validated for their ability to detect cyathostomin PCR products in the PCR–ELISA, using DNA from morphologically identified adult parasites. Initially, 712 L4 were isolated from the diarrhoeic faeces from horses (<f>n=17</f>) with clinical larval cyathostominosis. PCR products from 522 of these L4 were subjected to analysis, with 413 L4 being identified as one of the aforementioned species. With reference to individual species analysis, 28.5% of the 522 L4 were identified as C. longibursatus, 25.7% as C. nassatus, 15.9% as C. ashworthi, 7.3% as C. goldi and 1.7% as C. catinatum. No L4 were identified as being C. insigne species. When L4 within faeces from individual horses were compared, no sample was found to comprise parasites of one species. The least number of species identified in a single sample was two. This study suggests that clinical larval cyathostominosis is predominantly caused by mixed-species infections.

AB  - Genetic markers developed from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were used as orthologous loci for comparative genome studies in the genus Pinus. A total of 309 ESTs derived from conifer gene sequences were tested for amplification and polymorphism in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.). Electrophoresis-based techniques made it possible to map 50 expressed sequence tag polymorphisms (ESTPs). The map positions of 32 markers were compared to putative orthologous loci on the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) linkage map, which is the reference map of the conifer genetic mapping community. Overall, synteny was maintained between the two species. This report agrees with other pairwise genome comparisons in pine and supports the cytogenetic evidence that chromosome evolution in the genus is conservative. The alignment of homologous linkage groups allowed, for the first time in conifers, the comparison of QTL location. The position of two QTLs controlling wood density and cell wall components were found to be conserved between the two species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The end-use properties, and thus the value, of wheat flours are determined to a large extent by the proteins that make up the polymeric network called gluten. Low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) are important components of gluten structure. Their relative amounts and/or the presence of specific components can influence dough visco-elasticity, a property that is correlated with the end-use properties of wheat flour. For these reasons, manipulation of gluten dough strength and elasticity is important. We are pursuing this goal by transforming the bread wheat cultivar Bobwhite with a LMW-GS gene driven by its own promoter. Particle bombardment of immature embryos produced several transgenic lines, one of which over-expressed the LMW-GS transgene. Southern blots confirmed that the transgene was integrated into the wheat genome, although segregation analyses showed that its expression was sometimes poorly transmitted to progeny. We have determined that the transgene-encoded LMW-GS accumulates to very high levels in seeds of this line, and that it is incorporated into the glutenin polymer, nearly doubling its overall amount. However, SDS sedimentation test values were lower from the transgenic material compared to a non transgenic flour. These results suggest that the widely accepted correlation between the amount of the glutenin polymers and flour technological properties might not be valid, depending on the components of the polymer.

AB  - The relation of two plutonium work integrals has recently been illustrated. One of the integrals applies to the work of disproportionation of tetravalent plutonium in 1 M acid and the other to the work of oxidation of plutonium from the trivalent to a higher oxidation state. This paper generalizes the disproportionation work integral so that it can be applied to tetravalent plutonium at any acid concentration. An equation is provided that can be used to verify work estimations obtained by integration. It applies to oxidation and disproportionation processes and it is easy to use. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - : Background and ObjectiveTransfer of infants between hospitals or their discharge home may bias comparisons of the performance across neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This study attempts to show the potential size of transfer bias in the context of a large cohort study and describe strategies for minimizing this type of bias.: MethodsTo limit transfer bias in a neonatal growth study of extremely premature infants in six tertiary NICUs, we restricted eligibility to infants <30 weeks gestation at birth and substituted matched replacements for early transfers (infants transferred or discharged prior to day of life 16).: ResultsThe restriction strategy was successful, reducing the overall early transfer rate from 16.4 to 3.6% and the range of transfer rates among individual NICUs from 0.6–32.7% to 0–11.0%. Replacement by matched substitutes had a much smaller effect because of the small number of early transfers and our inability to match on all factors distinguishing early transfers.: ConclusionSampling strategies to minimize infants lost to follow-up were more successful than replacement strategies in limiting transfer bias in a NICU growth study. Although complete elimination of bias is likely impossible, valid studies require efforts to minimize, quantify, and test the effect of transfer bias. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The adult dustywing, Semidalis flinti Meinander (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae), begins producing circular-shaped waxy particles after eclosion. The waxy material, which forms the particles, is extruded from individual pores found in clusters on the abdomen. Pores also are present in two rows of three pores on the frontalis and two pores on the first segment of each antennae. The pores have a rosette-like appearance and each pore extrudes dual waxy ribbons. As each ribbon extends a short distance out of the pore, it begins to curl back on itself until the end makes contact with the ribbon. The curled end then breaks free from the extruding ribbon to form the circular waxy particles with fluted edges approximately 2.75-μm diameter. The adults use the particles to cover all parts of their body except for their eyes and appear to lightly coat their antennae. The lipid portion of the particles consists largely of free fatty acids, almost exclusively the 24-carbon fatty acid, tetracosanoic acid. Minor lipid classes are hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols and unidentified material. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Hydrocarbons were the major lipid class extracted by hexane from the vitelline membrane surface of dechorionated eggs of the house fly, Musca domestica, the New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax, the secondary screwworm, Cochliomyia macellaria, the green bottle fly, Phaenicia sericata, the sheep blow fly, Lucilia cuprina and the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens. The length of time the embryos must be exposed to hexane with or without a small amount of alcohol in order to attain permeability was species-dependant. Long-chain n-alkanes comprised the major lipid class removed from vitelline membranes of all species except A. ludens where 2-methylalkanes were the major class. The range in size by the total number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbons was: C23–C49 in C. hominivorax, C27–C33 in C. macellaria, C24–C35 in L. cuprina, C25–C36 in M. domestica, C25–C33 in P. sericata and C21–C51 in A. ludens. The major hydrocarbon component, expressed as percent of the total hydrocarbons, was n-nonacosane (C29) in C. hominivorax (40%), C. macellaria (43%), L. cuprina (38%), M. domestica (39%) and P. sericata (60%). However, in A. ludens, 2-methyloctacosane (32%) was the major hydrocarbon. Unsaturated hydrocarbons, monoenes (16%) and dienes (11%), were abundant only in A. ludens. Since prior studies indicated that the length of time the embryos must be exposed to hexane with or without a small amount of alcohol in order to attain permeability is species dependant, we suggest that the differences in hydrocarbon composition may contribute to this variation in lipid extractability.

AB  - A new concept for estimating the bacterial growth under temperature fluctuations was hypothesized and validated using Clostridium perfringens as a test organism. This new methodology was based on the Gompertz models to calculate the equivalent growth times under different temperatures, and estimated the bacterial population under temperature fluctuations. The new concept was tested in ground beef maintained under fluctuating temperature conditions. The estimation accuracy of this methodology was generally within 1.0 log10 (cfu/g). Although the methodology was based on C. perfringens, it can potentially be applied to other foodborne pathogens to predict the bacterial growth under temperature fluctuations.

AB  - : ObjectiveGrowing emphasis on obesity as a risk factor for chronic diseases and commercial availability of impedance devices for the at-home assessment of body fatness have stimulated the need for a critical evaluation of the validity of these instruments. This study determined the reproducibility and accuracy of two commercial impedance devices that use upper (hand-to-hand) or lower (foot-to-foot) body contact electrode placements in adults with a wide range of body fatness.: MethodsBody composition was assessed with dual x-ray absorptiometry in apparently healthy adults (62 women and 48 men) ages 21 to 60 y, with a range in body mass index of 18.6 to 40.5 kg/m2. Variability in body fatness predicted with the regional body impedance devices was determined in 10 adults on 5 consecutive d. A 50-kHz, tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance plethysmograph with surface electrode placements on the upper and lower limbs was used to determine reference regional and whole-body impedance values.: ResultsVariability in body mass (1%) over 5 d was less than body fatness predicted with the upper (2–10%) and lower (3–5%) body devices. Regional and whole-body impedance values were different (P < 0.05) in the women, whereas upper and lower body values were lower (P < 0.05) than whole-body impedance in the men. Dual x-ray absorptiometric determinations of body fatness were similar to predictions based on models derived from physical characteristics (age, stature, body mass, and sex) but significantly different (P < 0.05) from estimates from the impedance devices, which underestimated body fatness. Bias in predictions of body fatness with the regional devices was systematically (P < 0.0001) related to body fatness.: ConclusionUse of regional impedance devices to assess body fatness is limited by a lack of precision and accuracy.

AB  - A novel modified alternan, produced by using newly isolated strains of Penicillium sp., was physically characterized. High molecular weight native alternan was progressively modified to lower molecular weight heterodisperse forms, associated with a reduction in absorbance at 225 nm, light scattering, and opalescence. Methylation analysis indicated that modified alternan has a linkage pattern similar to that of native alternan. The solution viscosity properties of modified alternan resemble those of ultrasonicated alternan and commercial gum arabic. However, alternan lacks the emulsification capacity of gum arabic. Alternan solutions are stable for at least 7 days under all conditions tested, from 4 to 70 °C and from pH 3–9. Dry preparations of alternan are bright white powders that are not highly hygroscopic. Thus, modified alternan is promising for further development as a gum arabic substitute, particularly in food applications requiring a low-viscosity bulking agent. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Yellow starthistle (YST) (Centaurea solstitialis) is an invasive weed in the USA and a target of classical biological control. However, the precise geographical origin(s) of YST in the USA is not known. This study was conducted to learn whether the origin(s) of YST in California, USA could be determined on the basis of digital image analysis (DIA) of YST reactions to isolates of the rust Puccinia jaceae. One trial was conducted with two isolates of P. jaceae and another trial with only one of these isolates. Six different YST collections were tested. The DIA consistently detected and measured rust pustules on YST leaves. Compared to visual assessment, DIA was a fair predictor of the number of rust pustules per leaf. There were no differences between isolates of P. jaceae in reactions of different YST collections in the first trial. Differences in plant reactions between trials were predominately due to more disease incidence and severity in the second trial, which was probably from the greater amount of inoculum. Based on analyses of variance and canonical discriminative analyses, YST from California appeared most closely related to the YST collection from Erzurum, Turkey. In examination of squared Mahalanobis distances, all collections, except the collection from Turkey, were significantly distant from the California collection in both trials. More studies are necessary to determine the precise area(s) of origin (within Turkey and neighboring countries) of YST in the USA. Digital image analysis of rust reactions can be a powerful tool to do this. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An extracellular β-xylosidase from a newly isolated Fusarium proliferatum (NRRL 26517) capable of utilizing corn fiber xylan as growth substrate was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant by DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B batch adsorption chromatography, CM Bio-Gel A column chromatography, Bio-Gel A-0.5 m gel filtration and Bio-Gel HTP Hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The purified β-xylosidase (specific activity, 53 U/mg protein) had a molecular weight of 91,200 as estimated by SDS–PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH for the action of the enzyme were 60 °C and 4.5, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed xylobiose and higher xylooligosaccharides but was inactive against xylan substrates. It had a <f>Km</f> value of 0.77 mM (p-nitrophenol-β-d-xyloside, pH 4.5, 50 °C) and was competitively inhibited by xylose with a <f>Ki</f> value of 5 mM. The enzyme did not require any metal ion for activity and stability. Comparative properties of this enzyme with other fungal β-xylosidases are presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - To define members of previously unknown VH gene families, a channel catfish immunoglobulin heavy chain cDNA library was constructed and screened with probes specific for the seven known catfish VH families. Reiterative screening and sequence studies defined six new VH families, designated VH8–VH13, which brings the total number of VH families in the catfish to 13. This is the highest number of VH families presently defined in a lower vertebrate. Sequence comparisons indicate there is extensive diversity between members of different families with the greatest variability encoded within the complementarity determining regions. Genomic libraries were screened, and germline VH segments representing each of these new families were identified. The VH segments are closely linked and interspersed with members of different VH families. Each of these germline gene segments shared characteristic structural features: an upstream region that contained transcriptional regulatory elements, a leader sequence split by a short intron, an open reading frame encoding readily identified framework and complementarity determining regions, and a terminal recombination signal sequence consisting of a consensus heptamer, a 22–24 bp spacer with conserved 5′- and 3′-ends, and a consensus A-rich nonamer. Southern blot analyses estimate the number of members within these new families ranges from small (2–7 members in VH9, VH10, and VH12) to medium (9–13 members in VH8, VH11, and VH13). Thus, there are between 165 and 200 germline VH segments represented by these combined 13 families with present analyses indicating that perhaps one-half of these are pseudogenes. Phylogenetic comparisons indicate that members of these different catfish VH families cluster within Groups C and D of vertebrate VH genes. These analyses also indicate that Group D is represented by two different branches and both branches include VH families from different lineages of bony fish that diverged early in vertebrate phylogeny.

AB  - Soil distribution in high mountains reflects the impact of several soil-forming factors. Soil geomorphologists use key pedological properties to estimate ages of Quaternary deposits of various depositional environments, estimate long-term stability and instability of landscapes, and make inferences on past climatic change. Once the influence of the soil-forming factors is known, soils can be used to help interpret some aspects of landscape evolution that otherwise might go undetected.The Front Range of Colorado rises from the plains of the Colorado Piedmont at about 1700 m past a widespread, dissected Tertiary erosion surface between 2300 and 2800 m up to an alpine Continental Divide at 3600 to over 4000 m. Pleistocene valley glaciers reached the western edge of the erosion surface. Parent rocks are broadly uniform (granitic and gneissic). Climate varies from 46 cm mean annual precipitation (MAP) and 11 °C mean annual temperature (MAT) in the plains to 102 cm and −4 °C, respectively, near the range crest. Vegetation follows climate with grassland in the plains, forest in the mountains, and tundra above 3450 m. Soils reflect the bioclimatic transect from plains to divide: A/Bw or Bt/Bk or K (grassland) to A/E/Bw or Bt/C (forest) to A/Bw/C (tundra). Corresponding soil pH values decrease from 8 to less than 5 with increasing elevation. The pedogenic clay minerals dominant in each major vegetation zone are: smectite (grassland), vermiculite (forest), and 1.0–1.8 nm mixed-layer clays (tundra). Within the lower forested zone, the topographic factor (aspect) results in more leached, colder soils, with relatively thin O horizons, well-expressed E horizons and Bt horizons (Alfisols) on N-facing slopes, whereas soils with thicker A horizons, less developed or no E horizons, and Bw or Bt horizons (Mollisols) are more common on S-facing slopes. The topographic factor in the tundra results in soil patterns as a consequence of wind-redistributed snow and the amount of time it lingers on the landscape. An important parent material factor is airborne dust, which results in fine-grained surface horizons and, if infiltrated, contributes to clay accumulation in some Bt horizons. The time factor is evaluated by soil chronosequence studies of Quaternary deposits in tundra, upper forest, and plains grassland. Few soils in the study area are >10,000 years old in the tundra, >100,000 years old in the forest, and >2 million years old in the grassland. Stages of granite weathering vary with distance from the Continental Divide and the best developed is grus near the sedimentary/granitic rock contact just west of the mountain front. Grus takes a minimum of 100,000 years to form.Some of the relations indicated by the soil map patterns are: (1) parts of the erosion surface have been stable for 100,000 years or more; (2) development of grus near the mountain front could be due in part to pre-Pennsylvanian weathering; (3) a few soil properties reflect Quaternary paleoclimate; and (4) a correlation between soil development in the canyons and stream incision rates.

AB  - We tested three lithium-ion cells to evaluate capacity and power fade during cycle life testing of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) cell with varying state of charge (ΔSOC). Test results showed that the cells had sufficient power and energy capability to meet the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV), now called FreedomCAR, goals for Power Assist at the beginning of life and after 120,000 life cycles using 48 cells. The initial static capacity tests showed that the capacity of the cells stabilized after three discharges at an average of 14.67 Ah. Capacity faded as expected over the course of 120,000 life cycles. However, capacity fade did not vary with ΔSOC. The hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) tests indicated that the cells were able to meet the power and energy goals at the beginning of testing and after 120,000 life cycles. The rate of power fade of the lithium-ion cells during cycle life testing increased with increasing ΔSOC. Capacity fade is believed to be due to lithium corrosion at the anode, and power fade suggested a buildup of the SEI layer or a decrepitation of the active material. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The ascomycete Eutypa lata is the causative agent of eutypa dieback in grapevines, a serious economic problem in major wine grape producing areas. In order to develop a predictive, non-destructive assay for early detection of fungal infection, the phenolic metabolite profiles of 11 strains of E. lata grown on four different artificial growth media were analyzed by HPLC and their variability compared with growth on Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine wood and wood extracts. Six compounds were generally produced in significant amounts, namely eutypinol, eulatachromene, and eutypine and its benzofuran cyclization product, together with siccayne and eulatinol. The two most widely distributed and abundant metabolites were eutypinol and eulatachromene, which were present in 8 of the strains grown on grapewood aqueous extract fortified with sucrose. Metabolite production on grapevine extract was greatly enhanced relative to the artificial media, indicating that this native substrate provides optimal conditions and a more representative profile of the metabolites produced in the natural disease state. The primary metabolites were tested in a grapeleaf disc bioassay to establish their relative toxicity. Neither eutypinol nor siccayne were phytotoxic; eulatachromene, eulatinol, eutypine, and the benzofuran exhibited necrotic effects in the bioassay. The results indicate that eutypa dieback may be caused by several E. lata metabolites rather than a single compound. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Reaction kinetics and reactor modeling for fuel processing of liquid hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen: isooctane reforming

AB  - A mathematical model was developed in the framework of the process simulator Aspen Plus® in order to describe the reaction kinetics and performance of a fuel processor used for autothermal reforming of liquid hydrocarbons. Experimental results obtained in the facilities of Argonne National Laboratories (ANL) when reforming isooctane using a ceria-oxide catalyst impregnated with platinum were used in order to validate the reactor model. The reaction kinetics and reaction schemes were taken from published literature and most of the chemical reactions were modeled using the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson (LHHW) formulation to account for the effect of adsorption of reactants and products on the active sites of the catalyst. The water-gas-shift (WGS) reactor used to reduce the concentration of CO in the reformate was also modeled. Both reactor models use a simplified formulation for estimating the effectiveness factor of each chemical reaction in order to account for the effect of intraparticle mass transfer limitations on the reactor performance. Since the data in the literature on kinetics of autothermal reforming of liquid hydrocarbons using CeO2-Pt catalyst is scarce, the proposed kinetic model for the reaction network was coupled to the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm implemented in Aspen Plus® in order to regress the kinetic constants for the different reactions. The model describes the trend of the experimental data in terms of hydrogen yield and distribution of products with a relative deviation of ±15% for reforming temperatures between 600 and 800 °C and reactor space velocities between 15 000 and 150 000 h−1.

T1  - Greater hemocyte bactericidal activity in oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from a relatively contaminated site in Pensacola Bay, Florida

AB  - Bivalve mollusks such as Crassostrea virginica inhabiting polluted estuaries and coastal areas may bioaccumulate high concentrations of contaminants without apparent ill effects. However, changes in putative internal defense activities have been associated with contaminant accumulation in both experimental and long-term field exposures. In an effort to elucidate these relationships, 40 oysters were collected from Bayou Chico (BC) and East Bay (EB) in Pensacola Bay, FL, two estuaries known to differ in the type and magnitude of chemical contaminants present. Oyster tissue concentrations of metals, tri- and dibutyltin (TBT, DBT), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in individual oysters, as were hemocyte counts (HCs), hemocyte bacterial killing indices (KI), serum lysozyme (LYS) and serum protein (PRO) levels. Average HC, KI, LYS and PRO were significantly higher in BC oysters, which also had significantly higher tissue concentrations of total trace metals, butyltins (BTs), PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, and Mn, Cu, Zn and Sn. EB oysters had low organic contaminant levels and no detectable BTs, but significantly higher concentrations of Al, Cr, Fe, Ag, Cd, and Hg. Simple correlation analysis between specific defense measurements and specific chemical analytes showed specific positive relationships that corroborated previous findings in other FL estuaries. Canonical correlation analysis was used to examine relationships between defense measurements and tissue metals using linearly combined sets of variables. Results were also consistent with previous findings—the highest possible canonical correlation was positive: r=0.864, P<0.0019 among canonical variables composed of HC, KI and LYS for defense, and Fe, Cu, Ag, Cd, Sb, Sn, Ni, Pb and Hg for metals.

T1  - A synthetic peptide containing the consensus sequence of the G–H loop region of foot-and-mouth disease virus type-O VP1 and a promiscuous T-helper epitope induces peptide-specific antibodies but fails to protect cattle against viral challenge

AB  - A pilot study was carried out in cattle to determine the immunogenicity of a synthetic consensus peptide comprising the G–H loop region of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type-O VP1 and a non-VP1 T-helper (Th) epitope. Cattle vaccinated intramuscularly either once (<F>n=5</F>) or twice (<F>n=4</F>) with 50 μg of the peptide preparation at a 21-day interval developed antibodies to the peptide as determined by ELISA with the exception of one steer that received a single dose. However, neutralizing antibody titers against FMDV type-O were modest and all animals presented with clinical FMD signs upon challenge 21 days after the last vaccination. In contrast, four of the five animals inoculated with an inactivated FMD type-O commercially prepared vaccine developed neutralizing antibodies and were fully protected against clinical disease following virus challenge 21 days post-vaccination (dpv). Nucleotide sequence comparison of the VP1 region between the challenge virus and RT-PCR products recovered from a lesion of the peptide-vaccinated animal with the highest neutralizing antibody titer 5 days post-challenge (dpc) showed no evidence for selection of a neutralization-resistant mutant. We conclude that although the synthetic peptide induced an antibody response in cattle, it failed to confer protection against FMDV challenge. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Although skeletal muscle mass represents the largest organ in the human body and plays a critical role in energy metabolism, its routine assessment has been limited by the availability of practical methods. This review critically evaluates traditional and new applications of the fourelectrode bioelectrical impedance method in determining regional skeletal muscle mass or volume and assessing muscle function in health and disease. It also describes opportunities for research in the use of regional bioelectrical impedance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The natural patterns of bone mass accumulation and loss with age represent the templates of individual life cycle periods that are distinguished by marked, physiologically and genetically identifiable, changes in bone mass. During the third trimester of pregnancy, maternal calcium absorption increases and the fetus accumulates about two-thirds of the total bone mass of the term infant. In early infancy, human milk calcium is derived primarily from maternal bone stores, which incur substantial bone losses that are quickly replenished during and after weaning. At puberty, a marked increase in bone mass occurs in conjunction with the initial physical and hormonal changes that characterize this stage. Calcium absorption and bone calcium deposition rates peak in females shortly before menarche. At that time, the bone calcium deposition rate is approximately five times that of adulthood. Skeletal bone mass reaches over 90% of its maximum by age 18 (earlier in females) but does not peak until age 25–30. At some point in mid-life, women experience perimenopause, the 3- to 5-year period prior to menopause during which estrogen levels begin to drop and there are marked increases in bone resorption and loss. Throughout adulthood, calcium absorption efficiency from the diet gradually declines. Copyright © 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The complete genome of Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain R[sub low] has been sequenced. The genome is composed of 996 422 bp with an overall G+C content of 31 mol%. It contains 742 putative coding DNA sequences (CDSs), representing a 91% coding density. Function has been assigned to 469 of the CDSs, while 150 encode conserved hypothetical proteins and 123 remain as unique hypothetical proteins. The genome contains two copies of the rRNA genes and 33 tRNA genes. The origin of replication has been localized based on sequence analysis in the region of the dnaA gene. The vlhA family (previously termed pMGA) contains 43 genes distributed among five loci containing 8, 2, 9, 12 and 12 genes. This family of genes constitutes 10·4% (103 kb) of the total genome. Two CDSs were identified immediately downstream of gapA and crmA encoding proteins that share homology to cytadhesins GapA and CrmA. Based on motif analysis it is predicted that 80 genes encode lipoproteins and 149 proteins contain multiple transmembrane domains. The authors have identified 75 proteins putatively involved in transport of biomolecules, 12 transposases, and a number of potential virulence factors. The completion of this sequence has spawned multiple projects directed at defining the biological basis of M. gallisepticum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Freshly cut honeydew chunks were dipped for 30 s in a solution containing 1.9 mM hypochlorous acid (ClO) without or with a 40 mM concentration of calcium (Ca) propionate, Ca amino acid chelate formulation (Ca chelate), calcium chloride (CaCl2), or not treated. Respiration and ethylene production rates, firmness, translucency, microbiological and sensory characteristics, surface color, volatile abundance, and tissue calcium content were evaluated during 7 d at 10 °C. Nontreated samples developed the highest respiration and ethylene production rates during storage, followed by samples dipped in ClO, ClO+CaCl2 or ClO+Ca chelate, and ClO+Ca propionate. Calcium salt and chelate treatments more than doubled tissue Ca content and inhibited changes in melon firmness, surface color, and the development of tissue translucency during storage. Treatment with ClO alone increased tissue translucency development, but inhibited surface microbial development. Microbial development was higher on nontreated melon samples than on ClO+Ca propionate-treated samples. Total quality-associated volatile abundance increased throughout storage and was higher in ClO+Ca propionate-treated samples than in other treated and nontreated samples. No sensorial preference was observed by consumer panels among ClO-, ClO+Ca propionate-, or ClO+Ca chelate-treated samples. The results indicate that a sanitary dip with Ca is a better alternative to a sanitary dip alone for quality maintenance and shelf-life stability of fresh-cut honeydew melon tissue.

AB  - This investigation of the possible role of pathogen–insect interactions on the mortality of Euphorbia esula/virgata plants was prompted by repeated observations of an apparent association in the field between damage to the roots of this plant caused by root-attacking insects and disease occurrence. In studies using microcosms in a greenhouse consisting of potted, caged plants of E. esula/virgata, combinations of Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, or both fungi with adults and larvae of the flea beetle Aphthona spp. caused significantly greater rates of injury to E. esula/virgata than any single agent. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used to examine the effects on time to mortality of combinations of various inoculum densities of R. solani per gram of air-dried soil with 0, 5, and 15 Aphthona per plant. At each insect level per plant, increasing inoculum density increased the rate of mortality of E. esula/virgata; the effect was significant at 5 and 15 beetles per plant using log rank tests. Additionally, at 5 flea beetles per plant, the rates of weed mortality in association with the second highest fungal inoculum concentration were similar to the mortality at the highest inoculum level, indicating that a minimum effective concentration is needed for effective synergism to exist. Cox regression analysis of proportional hazards was used to examine the relative contribution of plant pathogens and insects to weed mortality in the microcosms. The results indicated that plant pathogens are more than twice as likely to cause mortality of the target weed than insects under typical conditions and, under optimum conditions, are over four times more likely to do so. The results support the idea that supplementing flea beetle establishments with plant pathogens can be an effective means of both causing higher rates of successfully impacted release sites and greater biocontrol impact at individual release sites. Based on these findings it is recommended that a test of propensity for insect–plant pathogen synergisms should be a selection criterion for candidate agents. Additionally, it is recommended that survival analysis be applied to the target weed exposed to appropriate combinations of insects and pathogens as a means to assess the potential effectiveness of candidate agents. Application of one or both of these recommendations could increase success in classical biocontrol of weeds and reduce associated costs and environmental risks. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This paper presents a non-linear model for predicting the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes, suspended in beef broth after heat treatment. A five-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes was used in developing inactivation data at 57.5, 60, 62.5 and 65 °C, where maximum observed lethalities were more than 7 log10 for the latter three temperatures. For all four temperatures, the survival curves, i.e. the common logarithms (base 10) of the numbers of surviving cells vs. times, were distinctly convex. Four functions, based on different assumptions underlying the shape of the survival curves, were compared. The assumptions involve the asymptotic behavior of the survival curves. Mechanistic considerations were used in deriving some of the functions considered. The function selected for further modeling was the logistic function, where the natural logarithm of time is the independent variable. Using this function, a model for predicting the amount of inactivation for temperatures between 57.5 and 65 °C was determined. The model presented in this paper is different from models that have been presented in the predictive microbiology literature, in that the parameters that describe the model are assumed to be random variables. Thus, a full description of the model includes standard deviations of parameter values, which were estimated using a mixed-effects analysis. Other research has indicated a logistic function adequately describes survival curves of L. monocytogenes. The use of this function entails that there are not non-zero asymptotic D-values. In conclusion, there is a substantial body of evidence suggesting that non-linear models are needed for characterizing survival curves of L. monocytogenes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In 1993–1995, the Beaver Lake Basin contained about 2000 poultry houses producing about 200 000 Mg yr−1 of poultry litter, and 8000 and 4000 Mg yr−1 of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), respectively. Most of the poultry litter was land applied as a fertiliser to meet forage N requirements, making it susceptible to transport from the landscape during episodic precipitation events. Nitrogen and P concentrations were measured in four sub-watersheds of Beaver Lake, a reservoir on the White River in Arkansas, USA, to assess possible relationships between pasture land use and stream nutrient concentrations and export. Surface water samples were collected 17 times annually for 2 years from ten total stream sites within the four watersheds. Samples were analysed for soluble reactive P (SRP), total P (TP), ammonium-N (NH4-N), nitrate-N (NO3-N), total Kjeldhal N (TKN) and total N (TN). Discharge was measured at four gauged stream stations, and nutrient export was calculated using the US Geological Survey ESTIMATOR software and non-biased re-transformation from log space. Stream SRP, NO3-N and TN concentrations (geometric-mean) increased linearly with per cent of pasture in watersheds, whereas N and P export coefficients increased exponentially with pasture land use. Nutrient export (kg yr−1) increased with basin size, but nutrient yield (kg km−2 yr−1) decreased with basin size. Nutrient yield was from three times to over 10 times greater than nutrient yields observed in regional undeveloped streams and the average of the Hydrologic Benchmark Network of the US Geological Survey. It is apparent that pasturelands in this basin affect stream nutrient concentrations and export to Beaver Lake and its tributaries. This investigation emphasises the need to carefully manage poultry litter because small losses of nutrients compared to the total amount of nutrients produced in a basin may still impact stream nutrient concentrations and export.

AB  - The 19F NMR spectra and spin–lattice relaxation rate, <f>R1</f>, of trifluorovinyldichloroborane as shown in  were studied as a function of temperature, <f>T</f>, and magnetic field, <f>B</f>. All <f>logR1</f> vs <f>1/T</f> plots show a minimum at 299 K indicating the presence if dipolar relaxation at lower <f>T</f> and spin–rotation relaxation at higher <f>T</f>. The <f>R1</f> values increase with increasing <f>B</f> due to chemical shift anisotropy relaxation. Estimates of the fluorine chemical shift values for F3 (cf. ) suggest that there is π character in the F–C bond. The other two C–F bonds are largely single bonded. No evidence was found for intermolecular exchange of the trifluorovinyl group. Two of the three fluorine atoms show large increases in their NMR linewidth with increasing temperature while the third shows only a small increase but the activation energy for the process is the same for all. The increase in linewidths is due to scalar coupling to the boron atoms. The boron linewidths were measured between 253 and 363 K and decreased with increasing temperature. A plot of <f>logR2</f>, where <f>R2</f> is the linewidth of the boron as a function of <f>1/T</f> shows some curvature indicating a second relaxation mechanism. This is ascribed to spin–rotation but not enough data are available to be conclusive. In all cases there is a second small set of fluorine peaks that are due to 10B interactions separated from the 11B peaks by amounts varying from 1 to 4 ppm depending on the field and fluorine atom.

AB  - Pectin-derived matrices are now being examined and tested for controlled drug delivery. Pectin is intact in the upper gastrointestinal tract and degraded by colonic microflora. The composition of this microflora remains relatively consistent across a diverse human population. Thus, pectin-derived drug carriers provide promising potential for colon-specific drug delivery. This paper reviews recent developments in pectin-derived formulations. Subjects reviewed include gelation of pectin, calcium cross-linked pectinate, composites of pectin and other polymers, technologies to fabricate pectin into useful drug delivery vehicles, and methods to evaluate release kinetics of incorporated drugs. This article discusses advantages, limitations, and possible future developments in pectin-based formulations with particular emphasis on the field of colon-specific drug delivery.

AB  - Characteristics such as temperature and pressure profiles for methane hydrate formation and dissociation in pure water, simulated seawater, and water–surfactant systems have been established. A hysteresis effect has been observed for repeated formation–dissociation cycles of the same methane–water system. In an attempt to maximize the uptake of methane during methane hydrate formation, the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate provided methane uptake of over 97% of the theoretical maximum uptake. Additional surfactants were tested for their ability to enhance the uptake of methane for hydrate formation. Successful demonstration of efficient methane storage using hydrate formation enhanced by addition of surfactants could provide a safe, low-cost alternative method for storage of natural gas at remote locations.

AB  - In production of synthesis gas (syngas) from natural gas, carbon deposition is the major cause of catalyst deactivation, specifically on Ni-based catalysts. Because the rate of carbon formation is greater than the rate of carbon gasification, carbon accumulates in the catalyst bed. In order to better understand the carbon deposition process at high pressure during dry reforming, we have tested a series of noble metal and Ni-based catalysts at pressures of one, and 14 bar using <F>13C</F>-labeled methane. The source of the carbon deposition during the reactions was then studied using temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO). The results indicated that the source of carbon is different for the reactions conducted at low pressure compared to those performed at higher pressure over noble metal catalysts. At high pressure a significant amount of carbon formed on the catalysts and both methane and carbon dioxide equally contributed to carbon deposition. However, at low pressure the amounts of carbon formed on these catalysts were insignificant and came predominantly from <F>12CO2</F>. It was also found that at high pressure the total amount of carbon was higher regardless of catalyst type or composition. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Research on the conversion of natural gas (methane) has been an ongoing effort at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) for over 20 years. A long-term goal of our research team is to explore novel pathways for the direct conversion of methane to liquid fuels, chemicals, and intermediates. One of our current areas of research is the conversion of methane to methanol, under mild conditions, using light, water, and a semiconductor photocatalyst. The use of three relatively abundant and inexpensive reactants—light, water, and methane—to produce methanol is an attractive process option. The main advantage of using a photocatalyst to promote the photoconversion of methane to methanol is that the presence of the catalyst, in conjunction with an electron-transfer agent, allows reaction to occur with visible light instead of with ultraviolet. This greatly simplifies reactor design and will permit flexibility in the selection of the light source. The products of the reaction of interest, methanol and hydrogen, are both commercially desirable as fuels or chemical intermediates. Reactions were conducted at 1.0 and 10.1 MPa along with methane contained within gas hydrates. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Corrosion–wear interactions play a very crucial role in developing many technological processes. One of them is chemical–mechanical planarization (CMP) of metallic thin films for manufacturing semiconductor devices such as computer chips. In this paper, we present research approaches undertaken in developing CMP for different metallic thin films, such as tungsten and copper in aqueous media. Mechanisms of material removal during CMP are presented. The role of corrosion, wear, and their synergistic effect are explained. The importance of constructing corrosion–wear maps for these complicated tribo-corrosion–metallic thin film systems is addressed. The application of corrosion–wear maps in developing reliable CMP slurries and processes is discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - To understand the mechanism of protein folding and to assist rational design of fast-folding, non-aggregating and stable artificial enzymes, it is essential to determine the structural parameters which govern the rate constants of folding, <f>kf</f>. It has been found that −log <f>kf</f> is a linear function of the so-called chain topology parameter (<f>CTP</f>) within the range of 10−1 s−1&les;<f>kf</f>&les;108 s−1. The correlation between −log <f>kf</f> and <f>CTP</f> is much improved than using previously published contact order (<f>CO</f>) method. It has been further suggested that short sequence separations may be preferred for the establishment of stable interactions for the design of novel artificial enzymes and the modification of slow-folding proteins with aggregating intermediates.

AB  - Transgenic alfalfa over-expressing a nodule-enhanced malate dehydrogenase (neMDH) cDNA and untransformed alfalfa plants were grown at the same field site and rhizosphere soils collected after 53 weeks of plant growth. These alfalfa lines differ in the amount and composition of root organic acids produced and exuded into the rhizosphere. Nucleotide sequencing of PCR-based 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clone libraries and Biolog™ GN microtiter plates were employed to assess the activity of naturally occurring rhizobacteria in the two alfalfa rhizospheres. Selected macro- and micro-elements in the two alfalfa rhizosphere soils were also measured. Analysis of 240 16S rDNA clone sequences indicated the existence of about 11 bacterial phyla and their major subdivisions in the two alfalfa rhizosphere samples. There were qualitative changes in the abundance of bacterial phylogenetic groups between rhizosphere soils of transgenic and untransformed alfalfa. Carbon substrate utilization profiles suggested that rhizosphere samples from transgenic alfalfa had significantly greater microbial functional diversity compared with rhizosphere samples from untransformed alfalfa. The concentrations of nitric acid extractable P, K, Mn, Zn and Cu increased significantly in the transgenic alfalfa rhizosphere compared with the untransformed alfalfa rhizosphere. These observations indicate that organic acids produced by plant roots significantly influence rhizosphere microbial diversity and availability of macro- and micro-nutrients and demonstrate the utility of such trangenic plants as tools for studying the potential impact of plant root exudates on soil microbial ecosystems.

T1  - Control of bitter rot and blue mold of apples by integrating heat and antagonist treatments on 1-MCP treated fruit stored under controlled atmosphere conditions

AB  - To maximize control of fruit decay by alternatives to synthetic fungicides after harvest, various control strategies can be integrated. Treatment of fruit with antagonists is one of the most promising alternatives. This treatment, however, has little or no eradicative activity, which limits its use. Fruit treatment with hot air (at 38 °C) for 4 d has eradicative but no residual activity against blue mold (caused by Penicillium expansum) on apple, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an ethylene receptor inhibitor which slows apple maturation and, presumably, extends action of natural defense mechanisms. An antagonist, Metchnikowia pulcherrima T5-A2, was used in combination with heat and 1-MCP treatments to control bitter rot (caused by Colletotrichum acutatum) and blue mold (caused by P. expansum) on ‘Golden Delicious’ apples under controlled atmosphere (CA) conditions. 1-MCP treatment increased bitter rot and blue mold decays, but both of these decays were effectively controlled on 1-MCP treated apples by a combination of the antagonist and heat treatments. C. acutatum is a weaker pathogen than P. expansum, and bitter rot, even on the control treatments, developed only after 4 months in CA storage followed by 2 weeks incubation at 24 °C. In contrast, non-treated fruit inoculated with P. expansum were completely decayed after 2 months in CA. The antagonist controlled bitter rot more effectively than blue mold, while blue mold was more effectively controlled by heat treatment. The use of 1-MCP on harvested fruit to inhibit maturation can predispose fruit to decay, but the alternatives to synthetic fungicides are capable of preventing this increase in decay.

AB  - The impact of gamma irradiation on aroma, appearance, nutritional, textural, and microbiological quality attributes of fresh cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) was investigated. Irradiation at doses up to 2 kGy did not significantly influence aroma, amount of total volatile compounds, color or overall visual quality. Although firmness of cilantro was reduced by irradiation at day 0, there was no significant difference among treatments after 3, 7 and 14 days of storage at 3 °C. Irradiation did not have a consistent effect on antioxidant power or phenolic content during the 14-day storage. In contrast, vitamin C content was lower at day 14 in samples irradiated at 2 and 3 kGy. Cilantro irradiated at 3 kGy had higher decay rate and off-odor scores than other samples after 14 days of storage. The total aerobic plate count of irradiated cilantro was significantly lower than that of nonirradiated controls immediately after irradiation and during the entire storage period. Our results suggest that fresh cilantro irradiated at 2 kGy retained its sensorial quality and shelf life. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Several resistance sources and resistance mechanisms to aflatoxin formation and corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea Boddie) damage to maize (Zea mays L.) have been identified. Based on this knowledge, experiments were initiated toward achievement of the following objectives: (1) to confirm earlier determinations on resistance traits of germplasm sources and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with each of the traits, and (2) upon estimation of the degree of QTL effects on each trait, to generate a maize population, with chemical and physical resistance to Aspergillus spp. and ear-feeding insects, for inbred development. A 2-year field experiment to evaluate selected genotypes inoculated with A. flavus and infested with corn earworm revealed that significant variation exists among the genotypes for aflatoxin contamination and corn earworm damage. The protection of maize ears against aflatoxin contamination was primarily dependent on resistance to fungal infection and ear-feeding insects, and excellent husk coverage and tightness. A major QTL (p1) identified on chromosome 1S had effects of 54.0, 42.1, and 28.3% on the phenotypic variability for concentrations of silk maysin, 3′-methoxymaysin+apimaysin, and chlorogenic acid, respectively. Markers/QTLs for husk phenotypic traits and total aflatoxin concentrations have been determined, but more detailed mapping of these chromosomic regions will be necessary to locate precise markers/QTLs for husk traits and aflatoxin production. Realizing the complexity of the Aspergillus–aflatoxin-maize system and the factors affecting aflatoxin contamination, we are directing our program toward marker-assisted breeding to enhance or improve general genetic resistance to ear-feeding insects and invasion by Aspergillus spp. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A virulent Lactobacillus plantarum bacteriophage, ΦJL-1, was isolated from a commercial cucumber fermentation. The phage was specific for two related strains of L. plantarum, BI7 and its mutant (deficient in malolactate fermenting ability) MU45, which have been evaluated as starter cultures for controlled cucumber fermentation and as biocontrol microorganisms for minimally processed vegetable products. The phage genome of ΦJL-1 was sequenced to reveal a linear, double-stranded DNA (36.7 kbp). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) profiles indicated that ΦJL-1 contains six structural proteins (28, 34, 45, 50, 61, and 76 kDa). Electron microscopy revealed that the phage has an isometric head (59 nm in diameter), a long non-contractile tail (182 nm in length and 11 nm in width), and a complex base plate. The phage belongs to the Bradley group B1 or Siphoviridae family. One-step growth kinetics of the phage showed that the latent period was 35 min, the rise period was 40 min, and the average burst size was 22 phage particles/infected cell. Phage particles (90%) adsorbed to the host cells 20 min after infection. Calcium supplementation (up to 30 mM CaCl2) in MRS media did not affect the first cycle of phage adsorption, but promoted rapid phage propagation and cell lysis in the infection cycle subsequent to adsorption. The D values of ΦJL-1 at pH 6.5 were estimated to be 2.7 min at 70 °C and 0.2 min at 80 °C by a thermal inactivation experiment. Knowledge of the properties of L. plantarum bacteriophage ΦJL-1 may be important for the development of controlled vegetable fermentations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) hydrogen separation membranes consisting of barium oxide, cerium oxide, yttrium oxide and palladium were characterized by utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Characterization was performed at room temperature and 650 °C, and after exposure to hydrogen. Changes in both elemental composition and oxidation states were observed at elevated temperatures and as a function of time. Permeation of hydrogen through the membranes also changed with time and temperature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Frequency of luteinizing hormone pulses in cattle influences duration of persistence of dominant ovarian follicles, follicular fluid concentrations of steroids, and activity of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins

AB  - The objectives of the present study were to determine how varying frequency of LH pulses as controlled by varying treatments with progesterone (P4) in cattle would affect: (1) concentration of steroid hormones and activity of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the ovarian follicular fluid and blood plasma, and (2) duration of persistence of largest ovarian follicles. There were four treatment groups (<F>n=7</F> per group) and a control group (<F>n=5</F>) of mature, non-lactating beef cows. Treatments were: (1) two progesterone releasing intravaginal devices (PRIDs) for 16 days (2PRID); (2) a half PRID for 16 days (0.5PRID); (3) two PRIDs for 8 days, then a half PRID for 8 days (2-0.5PRID); or (4) a half PRID for 8 days, then two PRIDs for 8 days (0.5-2PRID). Treatment was initiated on the fifth day of the estrous cycle, which was designated as Day 0, and continued for 16 days. All P4-treated females were administered prostaglandin F2α on Day 0 and 1 to regress their corpora lutea. Frequency of LH pulses was greater during treatment with the smaller dose of P4 compared with treatment with the larger dose of P4 and the control group. Ovarian follicles were classified into five categories based on ultrasonographic observations: growing (G); atretic (A); growing dominant (GD); growing persistent (GP); or atretic persistent (AP). At ovariectomy on Day 16, the largest and second largest follicles collected were re-classified into five categories based on follicular concentration of steroids. Classification of the largest follicle collected on Day 16 was influenced by treatment (<F>P<0.005</F>), with the 2PRID group having A follicles, the 2-0.5PRID group GP follicles, the 0.5-2PRID group AP follicles, and the 0.5PRID group GD and GP follicles. Concentrations of 17β-estradiol (E2) were greatest in GD and GP follicles (<F>P<0.05</F>). There was less (<F>P<0.05</F>) activity of IGFBP-2 in GD follicles and less (<F>P<0.05</F>) activity of IGFBP-3 in GD and GP follicles than other follicles. Activity of IGFBP-4 and -5 was greater (<F>P<0.05</F>) in A and AP follicles than G, GD, and GP follicles. Maintenance of a frequent release of LH pulses over a 16-day period did not result in maintenance of persistent follicles throughout this period indicating that duration of dominance of these follicles is finite even when there is frequent release of LH pulses. Follicular atresia is associated with greater activity of IGFBP-2, -4, -5, and greater concentrations of P4 in follicles, whereas growing dominant and persistent follicles contained greater concentrations of E2, androstenedione (A4), and less IGFBP-2 activity than follicles of other classes. Follicle classifications based on ultrasonography or follicular concentration of steroids did differ (<F>P<0.05</F>) for the largest follicles from the 2PRID group. Two follicles in this group appeared as GD follicles by ultrasonography, but these were atretic based on follicular steroid contents. Objective 1 of the present study yielded the conclusion that concentrations of steroid hormones in follicular fluid and blood plasma could be predictably controlled by regulating the frequency of LH pulses with varying doses of P4. Objective 2 yielded the conclusion that maintain frequent release of LH pulses over a 16-day period could not maintain persistent follicles throughout this period, indicating that duration of dominance of these follicles is finite even when there is frequent release of LH pulses. Follicular atresia in the present study was associated with increased follicular fluid activity of IGFBP-2, -4, -5, and P4, whereas growing dominant and persistent follicles contained greater concentrations of E2, A4, and less IGFBP-2 activity than follicles of other classes.

AB  - The potential of antioxidants to reduce the cellular damage induced by ionizing radiation has been studied in animal models for more than 50 years. The application of antioxidant radioprotectors to various human exposure situations has not been extensive although it is generally accepted that endogenous antioxidants, such as cellular non-protein thiols and antioxidant enzymes, provide some degree of protection. This review focuses on the radioprotective efficacy of naturally occurring antioxidants, specifically antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals, and how they might influence various endpoints of radiation damage. Results from animal experiments indicate that antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin E and selenium compounds, are protective against lethality and other radiation effects but to a lesser degree than most synthetic protectors. Some antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have the advantage of low toxicity although they are generally protective when administered at pharmacological doses. Naturally occurring antioxidants also may provide an extended window of protection against low-dose, low-dose-rate irradiation, including therapeutic potential when administered after irradiation. A number of phytochemicals, including caffeine, genistein, and melatonin, have multiple physiological effects, as well as antioxidant activity, which result in radioprotection in vivo. Many antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have antimutagenic properties, and their modulation of long-term radiation effects, such as cancer, needs further examination. In addition, further studies are required to determine the potential value of specific antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals during radiotherapy for cancer. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An ethanol soluble protein (zein) can be extracted from maize meal. Development of a cost effective protein recovery process requires that the extracted maize particles be separated from the extract. We have previously shown that the particles can be settled into a water layer, through a stagnant interface, with low dilution of the protein-containing extract liquid. In this article, we describe testing done to develop settling tank base inclinations that enable the settled particles to be pumped from the tank as rapidly as they settle to the water layer. Ethanol extracts were pumped to one side of an ethanol solution layer floating on a water layer. The ethanol solution was kept at a constant height by pumping from a port opposite and higher than the inlet port and by maintenance of a constant water layer height. The solid particles in the extract settled into the water. Water was continuously pumped to and from the tank. Laminar water flow alone did not remove the particles at the lowest sustainable extract feed rate. Particles could be pumped out of the tank at rates equal to practical rates of extract feed when they settled on a base inclined 35° to the horizontal. The rate of extract liquid entrainment by the settling particles was determined from measurements of the mass of the solids settled into the water layer and the density of the dilute ethanol solution pumped from the bottom of the tank. The mass ratio of the extract liquid lost:solid particle settled was similar to the corresponding ratio for decanter centrifugation. Settling promises to be a cost-effective method of separating extracted particles from alcoholic extracts with low extract liquid dilution. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The hydrogen permeability of bulk tantalum and tantalum coated with thin films of palladium was measured at temperatures from 623 to 1173 K and hydrogen partial pressures from 0.1 to 2.6 MPa in a flowing gas system. Palladium coatings were deposited by both electroless plating (1–2 μm thick Pd layer) and cold plasma-discharge sputtering with two different thicknesses, 0.04 or 1.2 μm. All samples studied showed declining permeability values with surface fouling over time. The highest absolute values of permeability were observed at the lowest temperatures of study (623–773 K). However, permeability data taken at 1173 K tended to be more consistent with less scatter. The overall trend exhibited declining permeability values as a function of temperature. As confirmed by surface analysis, the palladium coating was lost from the coated tantalum samples. In one test, a 1.2 μm sputter-coated palladium film was observed peeling off the tantalum surface after 49 h at 773 K. The tantalum surface of all tested samples exhibited oxidation, distortion and cracking. Tantalum hydride formation was observed at 623 K on a palladium sputter-coated sample. Surface fouling limited the hydrogen permeability of all samples studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Abstract: The objectives of this study were to determine changes in fat and energy intakes in the United States between 1989-1991 and 1994-1996, and to examine the implications of expressing fat intake in grams vs as a percent of total energy intake. The source of data was the Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. The results suggest that intake of energy rose between the 2 time periods, primarily due to higher carbohydrate intake. There was also a modest increase in fat intake. However fat intake, as a percent of total energy, declined. The higher energy intakes were primarily from beverages, especially soft drinks, food mixtures, grain snacks, and pastries. The primary sources of higher fat intakes were meat mixtures, vegetables, and some categories of the grain group. Similar trends in the Food Supply Series suggested that the changes observed were not entirely due to changes in survey methodology. Because the increase in fat intake was masked by the increase in energy intake, we conclude that assessing trends in fat intake as a percent of energy consumption can be misleading, unless information on total energy and fat intake, in grams, is also provided. These preliminary findings should be interpreted cautiously until they are confirmed by formal secular trend analyses. J Am Diet Assoc. 2003;103:867-872. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The radiological safety of red meat irradiated with 7.5 MeV X-rays (bremsstrahlung) has been investigated theoretically and verified by dedicated experiments. Samples of meat and meat ash were located in a large volume of fresh meat at the position of the highest photoneutron fluence and irradiated to an X-ray dose of 15 kGy, twice the maximum dose allowed by the US FDA for meat irradiation. In order to evaluate the safety of treatment with any kind of electron accelerators, two experiments have been performed with different accelerators delivering electrons with a narrow and a broad energy spread.The measured activities and theoretical estimates are of the same order of magnitude. An evaluation of the corresponding radiation exposure from ingestion of the irradiated product has been compared to natural background radiation. The paper concludes that the risk to individuals from intake of food irradiated with X-rays from 7.5 MeV electrons, even with a broad energy spectrum, would be trivial. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) has been evaluated as a novel gene delivery vector for the development of live-viral vaccines for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In this study, we constructed an Ad5 vector co-expressing the capsid precursor proteins, P1, of FMD virus (FMDV) field strains A24 Cruzeiro and O1 Campos and examined the neutralizing antibody responses in swine after inoculation with the vector. To construct the Ad5 vector, a bicistronic expression cassette containing a cytomegalovirus promoter, the P1 coding sequence of FMDV A24, the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) of FMDV A12, the P1 coding sequence of FMDV O1 Campos and the coding region of A12 3C protease was inserted into the E1 region of an E1/E3-deleted Ad5. The recombinant adenovirus, Ad5A24+O1, was generated by transfection of 293 cells with full-length pAd5A24+O1 recombinant plasmid DNA. The recombinant Ad5 co-expressed P1 of both A24 and O1 in infected 293 cells and P1 of both serotypes was processed to produce VP0, VP3, and VP1. We further demonstrated the formation of capsid protein complexes by co-precipitation of VP0, VP3, and VP1 with monoclonal antibodies against viral capsid proteins. Swine inoculated with Ad5A24+O1 generated neutralizing antibodies against both A24 and O1. However, the overall neutralizing antibody response was considerably lower than that induced by a commercial FMD vaccine or a monovalent Ad5-A24 vaccine. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Koinobiont parasitoids that attack an early host stage may have an advantage in suppressing competing parasitoids that attack later stages of the same host. We examined the competitive interaction between the two most important parasitoids of tephritid fruit flies in Hawaii, Fopius arisanus (Sonan), and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The former species attacks host eggs while the latter attacks host larvae, and both species emerge as adults from the host puparia. F. arisanus physiologically suppressed egg development of D. longicaudata. Over 90% of D. longicaudata eggs died in the presence of F. arisanus larvae within host larvae of either the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) or the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). D. longicaudata appeared not to discriminate against hosts previously parasitized by F. arisanus. The mechanism that F. arisanus uses to eliminate D. longicaudata is similar to that which it employs to eliminate five other larval fruit fly parasitoids so far reported in Hawaii. This suggests that there is a broad competitive superiority of the early acting species in fruit fly parasitoids. We discuss the implication of this in relation to future biological control introductions against tephritid fruit flies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) was designed in 1997 to develop robust and nationally representative estimates of the mean nutrient content of important foods in the food supply and significantly improve the quality of food composition data in the US Department of Agriculture''s National Nutrient Databank. The underlying aims defining the process behind the NFNAP are: (1) evaluation of existing data; (2) identification of Key Foods and nutrients for analysis; (3) development of nationally based sampling plans; (4) analysis of samples; and (5) compilation and calculation of representative food composition data. Supported by a self-weighting stratified sampling design, the NFNAP approach has been applied to other sampling programs for the analysis of specific nutrients (e.g., fluoride-containing beverages and foods) and ethnic foods (e.g., American Indian foods). For select nutrients of potential health significance, additional sampling approaches allow for the estimation of serving-to-serving variability (e.g., highly processed foods). Under NFNAP, over 500 foods of the targeted 1000 important foods in the US food supply have been analyzed. Unrivaled research on food sampling, sample handling, and analytical methodology (e.g., for study of perishable nutrients in fresh produce) is integral to this effort. The NFNAP data are current, reflective of the market and nationally representative of the US food supply and therefore a crucial resource to health researchers, architects of nutrition policy, the nutrition and medical communities, and the food industry. They are released through the Web site: www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - To overcome the limitations of current dietary assessment methodology, scientists at the USDA, ARS, Western Human Nutrition Research Center (WHNRC) developed a computerized food-scale system named NESSy, Nutrition Evaluation Scale System (US Patent #5,233,520). WHNRC and Princeton Multimedia Technologies (PMT), through the USDA Technology Transfer program, have a cooperative research and development agreement to commercialize products based upon NESSy. The first product, ProNESSy, allows dietetic professionals the capability to track weighed food intakes for research subjects participating in clinical, metabolic, and/or free-living research studies.ProNESSy is a software module that works with ProNutra, PMT''s dietary analysis system that supports research dietitians. While ProNutra facilitates diet design, ProNESSy facilitates accurate dietary kitchen food processing as well as accurate and timely reporting of the food/nutrient intake from such studies. Dietitians use ProNutra to plan, manage, and analyze food and nutrient intake while dietary kitchen staff use ProNESSy to accurately weigh and track foods prepared for research studies. Together, the two software modules provide health care researchers the unique ability to design precise nutrient-intake studies and to efficiently measure, manage, and monitor the preparation and consumption of the provided foods and nutrients.ProNESSy runs on a PC with a touch-sensitive screen connected to an electronic scale. ProNESSy converts study diets into detailed electronic step-by-step instructions to direct the diet preparation. The “Weigh-In” mode, used during diet assembly, ensures that each subject is served the correct weight of specified foods. The “Weigh-Out” mode is used to determine actual intake by weighing any uneaten food(s). Extensive error detection and prevention techniques are used to prevent errors. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Isomaltulose [α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,6)-d-fructofuranose] and trehalulose [α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,1)-d-fructofuranose] are commercially valuable sucrose-substitutes that are produced in several microorganisms by the palI gene product, a sucrose isomerase. Trehalulose also occurs in the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifoli, as the major carbohydrate in the insect''s honeydew. To determine if the enzyme that synthesizes trehalulose in whiteflies was similar to the well-characterized sucrose isomerase from microbial sources, the properties of the enzymes from whiteflies and the bacterium, Erwinia rhapontici, were compared. Partial purification of both enzymes showed that the enzyme from whiteflies was a 116 kD membrane-associated polypeptide, in contrast to the enzyme from E. rhapontici, which was soluble and 66 kD. The enzyme from E. rhapontici converted sucrose to isomaltulose and trehalulose in a 5:1 ratio, whereas the enzyme from whiteflies produced only trehalulose. Unlike the E. rhapontici enzyme, the whitefly enzyme did not convert isomaltulose to trehalulose, but both enzymes catalyzed the transfer of fructose to trehalulose using sucrose as the glucosyl donor. The results indicate that trehalulose synthase from whiteflies is structurally and functionally distinct from the sucrose isomerases described in bacteria. The whitefly enzyme is the first reported case of an enzyme that converts sucrose to exclusively trehalulose. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Hydrocarbons were the major lipid class on the cuticular surface of adults, nymphs, and eggs of the sunflower beetle, Zygogramma exclamationis, characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Minor amounts of wax ester from 40 to 48 carbon atoms in size were only detected in larvae. The hydrocarbons ranged in size from 23 carbons (tricosene) to 56 carbons (trimethyltripentacontane) and were largely methylalkanes. The major components from females were 13,17,21-trimethylnonatriacontane (19%) and from larvae was n-nonacosane (17%). Males had 11,15- and 9,15-dimethylheptacosane (11%) and 13,17,21-trimethylnonatriacontane (11%) as the major components. In a sample of eggs, 13,17,21-nonatriacontane (16%) was the major component which was approximately 3 to 4-fold greater than the next most abundant hydrocarbons, dimethylheptacosanes, 2-methyloctacosane, methylnonacosanes, dimethyl- and trimethylheptatriacontanes and dimethylnonatriacontanes.

AB  - Ca2+ signal transduction requires the meticulous regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ levels. Endomembrane Ca2+ transporters and binding proteins are important components in partitioning these Ca2+ signals to mediate cellular activity. Recently, many of these proteins have been characterized and mutant analysis suggests that these transporters form a network. Future attempts to manipulate plant Ca2+ signaling must address all aspects of this complex. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A series of doping experiments are reported for MgB2 conductors that have been synthesized using doped boron fibers prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. Undoped MgB2 samples prepared from CVD prepared fibers consistently give critical current densities, <f>Jc</f>, in the range of 500,000 A/cm2 in low field at 5 K. These values fall by a factor of about 100 as the magnetic field increases to 3 T. For heavily Ti-doped boron fibers where the B/Ti ratio is comparable to 1, there is a substantial suppression of both <f>Tc</f>, superconducting volume fraction, and <f>Jc</f> values. If, however, a sample with a few percent Ti in B is deposited on a carbon substrate and reacted at 1100 °C, then <f>Tc</f> is suppressed only a couple of degrees and critical current densities are found to be <f>Jc</f> ∼ 2–5 × 106 A/cm2 for superconducting layers ranging from 4 to 10 μm thick. These materials show <f>Jc</f> values over 10,000 A/cm2 at 25 K and 1.3 T. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The Ogawa passive sampler (Ogawa USA, Pompano Beach, Florida) is a useful tool for monitoring atmospheric ammonia (NH3(g)) concentrations and assessing the effects of agricultural waste management practices on NH3(g) emissions. The Ogawa sampler, with filter-discs impregnated with citric acid, was used to trap and determine NH3(g) concentrations in a variety of agricultural settings. A wide range of NH3(g) concentrations can be monitored by varying the sampler exposure time, provided that no more than ∼10 μg of NH3-N are adsorbed on the acid-coated filters. Concentrations less than 1 μg NH3-N m−3 can be detected using long deployments (&les;14 days), while concentrations as great as 10 mg NH3-N m−3 may be determined in very short (e.g. 5 min) deployments. Reproducibility ranged from 5% to 10% over the range of concentrations studied and passive determinations of NH3(g) were similar to those determined using dilute-acid gas scrubbers.Background levels of NH3(g) at a non-agricultural site in southern Delaware were typically <1 μg NH3-N m−3. The air entering a chicken house was 10 μg NH3-N m−3, reflecting the background levels in agricultural settings in this region. Within the house, concentrations &les;8.5 mg NH3-N m−3 were observed, reflecting the high rates of NH3(g) emission from chicken excreta. Using measured NH3(g) concentrations and poultry house ventilation rates, we estimate that each broiler grown to production size over 6 weeks contributes approximately 19±3 g of NH3-N to the atmosphere, a value consistent with other published results.

AB  - The crystal structure of the binary gallide compound GaMn is reinvestigated using X-ray diffraction. The structure is quite different from that proposed previously. Although GaMn is reported to crystallize with the Al8Cr5 structure type, space group R3m, we found that the centrosymmetric space group <f>R3¯m</f>, with <f>a=12.605(2)</f> A˚ and <f>c=8.0424(11)</f> A˚, was more accurate. Moreover, the atomic positions and the atomic displacement parameters, which are missing in the previous study, are now refined. Thereafter, band structure calculations have been performed using the TB-LMTO-ASA method to understand the electronic and magnetic properties of this compound. Analyses from the band structure, the density of states and the magnetic moments obtained using spin-polarized calculations show the stability of two different magnetic models relative to the nonmagnetic one.

AB  - The gas permeabilities of shellac and several experimental coating formulations, including candelilla wax and shellac-carnauba were measured. These coatings, selected to have a wide range of gas permeabilities, were applied to freshly harvested and 5-month commercially stored ‘Delicious’, ‘Fuji’, ‘Braeburn’ and ‘Granny Smith’ apples. The coated apples were monitored during storage of 2 or 4 weeks at 20 °C for changes in internal gases level, and for quality parameters (surface gloss, weight loss, flesh firmness, Brix, titratable acidity and ethanol content). The shellac coating resulted in maximum fruit gloss, lowest internal O2, highest CO2, and least loss of flesh firmness for all of the varieties. The ‘Granny Smith’ with shellac had low internal O2 (<2 kPa) with both freshly harvested and 5 month-stored apples, and the freshly-harvested ‘Braeburn’ had high internal CO2 (25 kPa). This excessive modification of internal gas induced an abrupt rise of the respiratory quotient, prodigious accumulation of ethanol in both ‘Braeburn’ and ‘Granny Smith’, and flesh browning at the blossom end of ‘Braeburn’. In addition the shellac coating gave an unusual accumulation of ethanol in freshly harvested and 5 month-stored ‘Fuji’. Candelilla and carnauba-shellac coatings maintained more optimal internal O2 and CO2 and better quality for ‘Fuji’, ‘Braeburn’ and ‘Granny Smith’ apples, although even these coatings may present too much of a gas barrier for ‘Granny Smith’. Therefore, this research recommends the best coatings as shellac for ‘Delicious’, and carnauba-shellac for ‘Braeburn’ or ‘Fuji’. Best for ‘Granny Smith’ would seem to be a high-permeability wax similar to polyethylene, which has not been approved for apple by FDA. In general, the gas permeabilities of the coatings were useful as an indicator of differences in coating barrier properties, but did not account for differences in pore blockage.

AB  - Exposure of papaya (Carica papaya L., cv. Sunrise) fruit to methyl jasmonate (MJ) vapors (10−5 or 10−4 M) for 16 h at 20 °C inhibited fungal decay and reduced chilling injury development and loss of firmness during storage for 14–32 days at 10 °C and 4 days shelf life at 20 °C. MJ-treated fruit also retained higher organic acids than the control fruit. Low density polyethylene film packaging prevented water loss and further loss of firmness as well as inhibiting yellowing (b* values) of papaya fruit. The modified atmosphere created (3–5 kPa O2 and 6–9 kPa CO2) inside the package did not induce any off-flavor development during storage at 10 °C. The postharvest quality of papaya was enhanced significantly by combining the MJ-treatments and MAP. Use of MJ at 10−5 M with MAP is beneficial to maintaining postharvest quality of papaya during low temperature storage and shelf-life period. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Quality characteristics and physiology of fresh-cut honeydew cubes harvested in summer and winter were evaluated. Sanitized melon cubes were packaged and held at three different atmospheres; passively formed atmosphere (passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)), active flushing of package with 5 kPa O2+5 kPa CO2 at packaging (active MAP), and perforated film package (PFP) and at three different temperature treatments; continuously at 5 or 10 °C or 2 days at 5 °C and transferred to 10 °C for a total of 11 days. Cubes of summer fruit had higher soluble solids content (SSC), respiration rate, and translucency than that of winter fruit. Translucency and off-odor were the main factors in deterioration of cubes. Cubes in active MAP had better color retention, reduced respiration rate and microbial population, and longer shelf-life than those in passive MAP, which was of better quality and had a longer shelf-life than cubes in PFP. The active MAP and 5 °C continuous was the best combination and the PFP and 10 °C continuous was the worst combination among the treatments for retaining quality and shelf-life of honeydew cubes. Quality attributes differed between cubes of fruit available in winter and summer, but the shelf-life was similar for both winter and summer cubes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

They displace native plant communities, degrade wildlife habitat (including that of many endangered species), increase soil salinity and wildfires, lower water tables, reduce water available for agriculture and municipalities, and reduce recreational use of affected areas. Phytophagous insects are abundant on saltcedar in the Old World and we selected Diorhabda elongata Brulle´ deserticola Chen as the top candidate biological control agent because of the great damage it causes, and its high host specificity, broad geographic range, and presumed adaptability in the United States. Literature review and our overseas surveys indicated that this insect is associated only with species of Tamarix and occasionally with Myricaria but not with Reumaria or Frankenia (all Tamaricales) in the Old World. In quarantine facilities in the United States, and overseas, we tested beetles from China and Kazakhstan on six species and three hybrids (26 accessions) of Tamarix and on 58 species of other plants, in 15 tests of different types, using 1852 adults and 3547 larvae, over 10 years. Survival from larvae to adults averaged 55–67% on the Tamarix species, 12% on Myricaria sp., and only 1.6% on the three Frankenia spp. No larvae completed their development on any of the other 54 plant species tested, where most larvae died during the first instar. Adults oviposited readily on T. ramosissima accessions, less on Tamarix aphylla (L.) Karst. (athel), and only rarely on other plants. The host range of the D. e. deserticola we tested from Kazakhstan was not different from those we tested from China. Therefore, D. e. deserticola, is sufficiently host-specific and was approved for field release in North America. This is the first biological control agent introduced into the United States for control of saltcedar. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) and predicted changes in rainfall frequency and intensity could have considerable impact on crop growth and yield. Our objective was to assess rice leaf photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism in response to decreased soil water availability at elevated growth [CO2]. Rice (Oryza sativa [L.] cv. IR-72) was grown season-long in eight sunlit, controlled-environment chambers at two daytime [CO2] of 350 μmol mol−1 (ambient) and 700 μmol mol−1 (elevated). Drought stress was imposed during panicle initiation and anthesis growth phases. At elevated [CO2], midday leaf photosynthetic CO2 exchange rates (CER) and concentrations of chlorophyll (Chl) were higher at most sampling dates, whereas total soluble protein (TSP) decreased on several sampling dates, compared with plants at ambient [CO2]. Furthermore, elevated [CO2] increased midday leaf sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity throughout the season, and enhanced midday leaf sucrose and starch accumulation during early reproductive phases, but not during later reproductive phases. Near the end of drought periods, water deficit caused substantial decreases in midday leaf CER and concentrations of Chl and TSP, with concomitant reductions in photosynthetic primary products and SPS activity. These drought-induced effects were more severe for plants grown at ambient than at elevated [CO2]. Plants grown under elevated [CO2] were able to maintain midday leaf photosynthesis, and to some extent other photosynthetic-related parameters, longer into the drought period than plants grown at ambient [CO2]. In addition, midday leaf CER recovered from water deficit more rapidly in the elevated [CO2] treatment. Thus, in the absence of other potential climate stresses, rice grown under future increases in atmospheric [CO2] may be better able to tolerate drought situations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This paper presents the test results and analysis of the power and capacity fade resulting from the cycle-life testing using PNGV (now referred to as FreedomCAR) test protocols at 25 and 45 °C of 18650-size Li-ion batteries developed by the US Department of Energy sponsored Advanced Technology Development (ATD) Program. Two cell chemistries were studied, a Baseline chemistry that had a cathode composition of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 with binders, that was cycle-life tested at 25 and 45 °C, and a Variant C chemistry with a cathode composition of LiNi0.8Co0.10Al0.10O2 with binders, that was tested only at 45 °C. The 300 Wh power, and % power fade were determined as a function of test time, i.e. the number of test cycles for up to 44 weeks (369,600 test cycles) for the Baseline cells, and for 24 weeks (201,600 test cycles) for the Variant C cells. The C/1 and C/25 discharge capacity and capacity fade were also determined during the course of these studies. The results of this study indicate that the 300 Wh power for the Baseline cells tested at 25 °C (up to 44 weeks of testing) decreased as a linear function of test time. The % power fade for these cells increased as a linear function of test time. The Baseline cells tested at 45 °C (up to 44 weeks of testing) displayed a decrease in their power proportional to the square root of the test time, with a faster rate of decrease of the power occurring at ∼28 weeks of testing. The % power fade for these cells also increased as the square root of the test time, and exhibited an increase in the % power fade rate at ∼28 weeks of testing. The 45 °C tested Baseline cells’ power decreased, and their % power fade increased at a greater rate than the 25 °C tested Baseline cells. The power fade was greater for the Variant C cells. The power of the Variant C cells (tested at 45 °C) decreased as the square root of the test time, and their % power fade was also found to be a function of the square root of the test time (up to 24 weeks of testing), i.e. the rate of decrease in the power and the increase in the % power fade rate was greater for the Variant C cells than for the Baseline cells also tested at 45 °C. The C/1 and C/25 Ah capacities of the Baseline cells tested at 25 and 45 °C were determined to be a function of the square root of the cycle time (i.e. number of test cycles) for test times up to 44 weeks. The capacity fade was greater at 45 °C than at 25 °C. Similarly, the C/1 and C/25 charge capacities of the Variant C cells were found to be a function of the square root of the test time (up to 24 weeks of testing). The C/1 and C/25 charge capacities decreased as a function of test time and the rate of decrease was smaller for the Variant C cells as compared to the Baseline cells over comparable test times (24 weeks).

AB  - Surface and bulk chemical and elemental composition of the rare earth sulfates of cerium(III), cerium(IV), lanthanum(III) and samarium(III) were characterized during various stages of thermal decomposition. Decomposition was conducted under both vacuum and atmospheric conditions. In situ analysis was conducted on samples decomposed in vacuum. As identified by X-ray diffraction, the bulk decomposition of all the rare earth sulfate samples to their corresponding oxide, in atmosphere, proceeded via the formation of an oxysulfate. For the exception of cerium(III) sulfate, similar results were obtained in thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal decomposition profile, as determined by X-ray microanalysis was similar to that observed in thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Elemental maps revealed no observable concentration gradients of sulfur. Surface composition was not necessarily representative of the bulk composition. Thermal decomposition of sulfates to an oxide initiated at a lower temperature in vacuum than that observed at atmospheric pressure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Undoped MgO and oxidized Li-doped MgO single crystals were implanted with 1 × 1017 Li+/cm2 at 175 keV. The Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS)/channeling data obtained after implantation shows that damage was produced throughout the entire range of the implanted ions. Optical absorption measurements indicate that after implantation the most intense band occurs at &ap;5.0 eV, which has been associated with anion vacancies.After annealing at 450 K the intensity of the oxygen-vacancy band decreases monotonically with temperature and completely disappears at 950 K. A broad extinction band centered at &ap;2.14 eV associated with lithium precipitates emerges gradually and anneals out at 1250 K. RBS/channeling shows that recovery of the implantation damage is completed after annealing the oxidized samples at 1250 K. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The cetane number, a widely used diesel fuel quality parameter related to the ignition delay time (and combustion quality) of a fuel, has been applied to alternative diesel fuels such as biodiesel and its components. In this work, the cetane numbers of 29 samples of straight-chain and branched C1–C4 esters as well as 2-ethylhexyl esters of various common fatty acids were determined. The cetane numbers of these esters are not significantly affected by branching in the alcohol moiety. Therefore, branched esters, which improve the cold-flow properties of biodiesel, can be employed without greatly influencing ignition properties compared to the more common methyl esters. Unsaturation in the fatty acid chain was again the most significant factor causing lower cetane numbers. Cetane numbers were determined in an ignition quality tester (IQT) which is a newly developed, automated rapid method using only small amounts of material. The IQT is as applicable to biodiesel and its components as previous cetane-testing methods. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Three major foodborne outbreaks of salmonellosis in 1998 and 1999 were linked to the consumption of raw alfalfa sprouts. In this report, an improved method is described for isolation of Salmonella from alfalfa seed lots, which had been implicated in these outbreaks. From each seed lot, eight samples each containing 25 g of seed were tested for the presence of Salmonella by the US FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) procedure and by a modified method applying two successive pre-enrichment steps. Depending on the seed lot, one to four out of eight samples tested positive for Salmonella by the standard procedure and two to seven out of eight samples tested positive by the modified method. Thus, the use of two consecutive pre-enrichment steps led to a higher detection rate than a single pre-enrichment step. This result indirectly suggested that Salmonella cells on contaminated seeds might be injured and failed to fully resuscitate in pre-enrichment broth containing seed components during the first 24 h of incubation. Responses of heat-injured Salmonella cells grown in buffered peptone water (BPW) and in three alfalfa seed homogenates were investigated. For preparation of seed homogenates, 25 g of seeds were homogenized in 200 ml of BPW using a laboratory Stomacher and subsequently held at 37 °C for 24 h prior to centrifugation and filtration. While untreated cells grew at about the same rate in BPW and in seed homogenates, heat-injured cells (52 °C, 10 min) required approximately 0.5 to 4.0 h longer to resuscitate in seed homogenates than in BPW. This result suggests that the alfalfa seed components or fermented metabolites from native bacteria hinder the repair and growth of heat-injured cells. This study also shows that an additional pre-enrichment step increases the frequency of isolation of Salmonella from naturally contaminated seeds, possibly by alleviating the toxic effect of seed homogenates on repair or growth of injured cells.

AB  - Enzyme-retting offers an alternative to the current method of dew-retting to extract fibers from flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). Additional steps could improve the efficiency of enzyme-retting and modify the properties of the resulting fibers. Samples of ‘Ariane’ flax, which were grown in South Carolina during the winter and harvested early for quality fiber or late for both fiber and seed, were presoaked with distilled water before enzyme-retting. Soaked, enzyme-retted, and air-dried fibers were compared with unsoaked, control samples for yield and properties, and the water extract (or a freeze-dried portion) was tested in various methods for its influence on enzyme-retting. Presoaking increased fine fiber yield in some cases, but fiber strength at times was reduced. Analyses of the freeze-dried residue from soaking showed a mixture of sugars (128.6 and 101 mg g−1 for early and late harvest, respectively) and aromatic components including p-coumaric and ferulic acids and guaiacyl and syringyl units (3.51 and 3.05 mg g−1 total aromatics for early and late harvest, respectively). Water extracts from presoaking treatments at 1.0–2.0% (w/v) were not inhibitory to the retting fungus Rhizopus oryzae sb or to Viscozyme used for enzyme-retting, based on the Fried test and enzyme activities. Turbidity tests showed slight growth inhibition for Eschericia coli and Streptococcus sp. in the presence of water extracts from early versus late harvest flax at 0.5% (w/v), with those from late harvest flax more inhibitory. Benefits on the efficiency of water presoaking prior to enzyme-retting were moderate and not uniform in this study, and modifications may depend upon particular flax harvests.

AB  - The objective of the work described in this paper was to experimentally characterize the susceptibility of three candidate automotive structural composites to incidental, low-energy impact damage. The composites, each of which had the same urethane matrix, were produced by a rapid molding process suitable for high-volume automotive applications. The reinforcement for the first composite was a random chopped-glass fiber, while the remaining two were reinforced with stitch-bonded carbon-fiber mats, one in a crossply layup, and the other in a quasi-isotropic layup. A pendulum device, representative of events such as tool drops, and a gas-gun projectile, representative of events such as kickups of roadway debris, were used to impact plate specimens. Brick-drop tests were also performed to assess the applicability of the baseline pendulum and gas-gun data to other events. Following the impacts, the damage areas were measured and the plates were cut into either tensile, standard compressive, or compression-after-impact specimens for determining strength degradation. The glass-fiber composite was least susceptible to damage, followed by the crossply carbon-fiber laminate, which had the same thickness. The quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber composite, which was thinner than the other two, sustained the most damage. While compressive strength was significantly degraded by moderate damage in the random-glass-fiber composite, tensile strength was not. On the other hand, both tensile and compressive strengths were degraded in the crossply carbon-fiber laminate (only compressive strength loss was measured in the quasi-isotropic laminate). Compressive strength degradation for a given damage area was similar in the two carbon-fiber laminates. Both showed lesser degradation than did the glass-fiber composite. For the quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber laminate, it was shown that strength degradation produced by an open circular hole provides a reasonable lower bound to the degradation due to an impact damage area of the same size.

AB  - Ames dwarf mice (df/df) are deficient in growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone and live significantly longer than their normal siblings. In the current study, we found that the hormone deficiencies affect methionine metabolism. We previously reported that the dwarf mice exhibit enzyme activities and levels that combat oxidative stress more efficiently than those of normal mice. Moreover, methionine or metabolites of methionine are involved in antioxidative processes. Thus, we performed an experiment that compared various parameters of methionine metabolism between 18-month old male dwarf (<f>N=6</f>) and wild type (<f>N=5</f>) mice. The specific activity of liver methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) was significantly elevated (205%, <f>p<0.0001</f>) in the dwarf mice, as were cystathionine synthase (50%, <f>p<0.01</f>), cystathionase (83%, <f>p<0.001</f>), and glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT, 91%, <f>p<0.001</f>) activities. Even though the activities of MAT and GNMT were elevated, the concentration of liver <f>S</f>-adenosylmethionine was decreased (24%, <f>p<0.001</f>) and <f>S</f>-adenosylhomocysteine increased (113%, <f>p<0.001</f>) in the dwarf mice. These data indicate that dwarf mice, compared to wild type mice, have a markedly different metabolism of methionine. Altered methionine metabolism may partially explain earlier reports indicating less oxidative damage to proteins in dwarf mice. Taken together, the data suggest that methionine metabolism may play a role in oxidative defense in the dwarf mouse and should be studied as a potential mechanism of extended lifespan.

AB  - Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) that is infested with Fusarium head blight (FHB, ‘scab’) is unsuitable for malting and brewing because it may contain mycotoxins and has unacceptable malting quality. Fungal proteinases are apparently often involved in plant-microbe interactions, where they degrade storage proteins, but very little is known about the enzymes that the fungi produce in the infected grain. We have shown previously that one plant pathogenic fungus, Fusarium culmorum, produced subtilisin- and trypsin-like enzymes when grown in a cereal protein medium. To establish whether these proteinases were also synthesized in FHB-infested barley in vivo, field-grown barley was infested as the heads emerged. Extracts were prepared from the grain as it developed and matured and their proteolytic activities were measured with N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe p -nitroanilide and N-benzoyl-Val-Gly-Arg p -nitroanilide. The heavily infested barleys contained both subtilisin- and trypsin-like activities. These enzymes reacted with antibodies prepared against each of the two F. culmorum proteinases, indicating that those produced in the laboratory cultures and in the field-infested barley were the same. The presence of these proteinases correlated with the degradation of specific buffer-soluble proteins in the infested grains. These enzymes readily hydrolyzed barley grain storage proteins (C- and D-hordeins) in vitro. The presence of these Fusarium proteinases in the barley indicates that they probably play an important role in the infestation, but exactly how and when they function is not clear.

AB  - The long-term persistence of polydnavirus (PDV) DNA in infected lepidopteran cell cultures has suggested that at least some of the virus sequences become integrated permanently into the cell genome. In the current study, we provide supportive evidence of this event. Cloned libraries were prepared from two different Lymantria dispar (gypsy moth) cell lines that had been maintained in continuous culture for more than five years after infection with Glyptapanteles indiensis PDV (GiPDV). Junction clones containing both insect chromosomal and polydnaviral sequences were isolated. Precise integration junction sites were identified by sequence comparison of linear (integrated) and circular forms of the GiPDV genome segment F, from which viral sequences originated. Host chromosomal sequences at the site of integration varied between the two L. dispar cell lines but virus sequence junctions were identical and contained a 4-base pair CATG palindromic repeat. The GiPDV segment F does not encode any self-replication or self-insertion proteins, suggesting a host-derived mechanism is responsible for its in vitro integration. The chromosomal site of one junction clone contained sequences indicative of a new L. dispar retrotransposon, including a putative reverse transcriptase and integrase located upstream of the site of viral integration. A potential mechanism is proposed for the integration of PDV DNA in vitro. It remains to be seen if integration of the virus also occurs in the lepidopteran host in vivo. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Stable, homogeneous <f>xB2O3+(1−x)B2S3</f> glasses were prepared between <f>0&les;x&les;0.80</f>. It was not possible to prepare homogeneous, stable glasses of compositions <f>0.85&les;x&les;0.95</f> due to a strong exothermic enthalpy of mixing between the B2S3 and B2O3 phases. Raman and 11B NMR spectroscopies, used to characterize the structure of the glasses, show that the boron oxide structures of B2O3 especially the six-membered (thioboroxol) rings, quickly diminish with increasing sulfide content, whereas the corresponding sulfide structures in B2S3 remain relatively intense as the oxide content is increased. Differential scanning calorimetry and density measurements, used to characterize the physical properties of the glasses, show that the physical properties of these boron oxysulfide glasses heavily favor the B2S3 properties regardless of the amount of B2O3 added to the system. It is hypothesized that the stability of the thioboroxol ring group relative to that of the BS3/2 trigonal group is a possible source of this behavior. The large heat of mixing for B2O3 rich glasses is associated with the formation of new mixed boron oxysulfide structures of composition BS<f>i</f>O<f>3−i</f> where <f>0<i<3</f>.

AB  - The symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti, is well known for its ability to interact with the leguminous plant Medicago sativa L. It has, however, not been reported that this species possesses the capability to degrade toxic nitroaromatic compounds, such as 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) which is commonly associated with the degradation of the explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT). In this study, the pJS1 DNT-biodegradative plasmid was genetically transferred to S. meliloti strain USDA 1936, which was confirmed by plasmid profile analysis. Several standard analytical and chemical tests including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nitrite (NO2) release assays, rhizosphere population and plant greenhouse studies were conducted to test the ability of S. meliloti to degrade 2,4-DNT. The possible presence of 2,4-DNT remaining in the treated soil was tested, and no 2,4-DNT had been absorbed by the soil. The pJS1-carrying recombinant strain DHK1 produced ‘ARC’ alfalfa plants that were almost 2-fold higher in shoot dry weight than that produced by the parent strain on soil containing 0.14 mM 2,4-DNT. The transconjugant strain DHK1 reduced significantly one-third more 2,4-DNT in both 0.14 and 0.28 mM contaminated soil, and in 0.55 mM contaminated soil it degraded 94% of the 2,4-DNT present. In liquid cultures, however, only about 4% reduction in 2,4-DNT concentrations was obtained in 10 days. We interpret the results as clearly establishing that genetic modification was successfully used, for the first time, to improve the capability of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium S. meliloti DHK1 to bioremediate in situ 2,4-DNT-contaminated soil in the presence of alfalfa plants.

AB  - Physical inactivity has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease similar to that of hypercholesterolemia. However, few studies compare the type of exercise to effects on plasma lipids, especially of postmenopausal women. Premenopausal and postmenopausal subjects participated in resistive (12 subjects) or aerobic (11 subjects) training program for 12 weeks. Triglyceride levels of the postmenopausal women and total and LDL cholesterol of both premenopausal and postmenopausal women were significantly lower after exercise compared to prestudy levels. No significant difference was found in the HDL cholesterol levels. Insulin and C-peptide area under the curve, but not glucose, significantly decreased with both types of exercise. The type of exercise was more important to postmenopausal than premenopausal women, and aerobic exercise had the greater affect (28% decrease) on the cardiovascular risk factor, cholesterol. Based on these results, health professionals can recommend walking as an effective exercise for older women. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - High gloss coatings are used to improve apple fruit (Malus domestica, Borkh) appearance and sales. The industry standard has been shellac-based formulations, which have problems with whitening, low gas permeability, and association with non-food uses. Zein, a natural corn protein, was used to formulate alternative, shiny coatings by dissolving zein in aqueous alcohol with propylene glycol (PG). Gloss levels on ‘Gala’ apple surfaces varied due to zein and PG content in coating formulations from that of controls to levels observed for shellac-coated fruit. At least 4% (by weight) PG was necessary for adequate gloss. However, increasing levels of both compounds resulted in increased gloss. Whitening, which occurred on the coated fruit surface upon wetting, was reduced by decreasing zein content to less than 11%. Permeability to CO2, O2, and water vapor was strongly dependent on the zein content in the coating. Internal CO2 and O2 in zein-coated ‘Gala’ fruit ranged 4–11 and 19–6 kPa, respectively, by increasing zein content in the coatings. An optimum formulation with 10% zein and 10% PG was developed, applied to ‘Gala’ apple, and was found to maintain overall fruit quality comparable to a commercial shellac coating.

AB  - Although the impacts of exotic plant invasions on community structure and ecosystem processes are well appreciated, the pathways or mechanisms that underlie these impacts are poorly understood. Better exploration of these processes is essential to understanding why exotic plants impact only certain systems, and why only some invaders have large impacts. Here, we review over 150 studies to evaluate the mechanisms underlying the impacts of exotic plant invasions on plant and animal community structure, nutrient cycling, hydrology and fire regimes. We find that, while numerous studies have examined the impacts of invasions on plant diversity and composition, less than 5% test whether these effects arise through competition, allelopathy, alteration of ecosystem variables or other processes. Nonetheless, competition was often hypothesized, and nearly all studies competing native and alien plants against each other found strong competitive effects of exotic species. In contrast to studies of the impacts on plant community structure and higher trophic levels, research examining impacts on nitrogen cycling, hydrology and fire regimes is generally highly mechanistic, often motivated by specific invader traits. We encourage future studies that link impacts on community structure to ecosystem processes, and relate the controls over invasibility to the controls over impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Rapid, low level determination of silver(I) in drinking water by colorimetric–solid-phase extraction

AB  - A rapid, highly sensitive two-step procedure for the trace analysis of silver(I) is described. The method is based on: (1) the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of silver(I) from a water sample onto a disk impregnated with a silver-selective colorimetric reagent, and (2) the determination of the amount of complexed analyte extracted by the disk by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). This method, called colorimetric–solid-phase extraction (C–SPE), was recently shown effective in determining low concentrations (0.1–5.0 mg/ml) of iodine and iodide in drinking water. This report extends C–SPE to the trace (∼4 μg/l) level monitoring of silver(I) which is a biocide used on the International Space Station (ISS). The determination relies on the manually driven passage of a water sample through a polystyrene–divinylbenzene disk that has been impregnated with the colorimetric reagent 5-(p-dimethylaminobenzylidene) rhodanine (DMABR) and with an additive such as a semi-volatile alcohol (1,2-decanediol) or nonionic surfactant (Brij 30). The amount of concentrated silver(I) is then determined in a few seconds by using a hand-held diffuse reflectance spectrometer, with a total sample workup and readout time of ∼60 s. Importantly, the additive induces the uptake of water by the disk, which creates a local environment conducive to silver(I) complexation at an extremely high concentration factor (∼800). There is no detectable reaction between silver(I) and impregnated DMABR in the absence of the additive. This strategy represents an intriguing new dimension for C–SPE in which additives, directly loaded in the disk material, provide a means to manipulate the reactivity of the impregnated reagent.

AB  - We show that the structures and stabilities of main group closed-shell hypervalent molecules with five and six valence electron pairs around the central atom can be satisfactorily rationalized using a three-center-four-electron (3c-4e) bonding scheme, together with the sp2- and sp-hybridizations, respectively. These bonding schemes eliminate the use of d-orbitals for the bonding description of the main group hypervalent species as required in the conventional sp3d- and sp3d2-hybridizations. The 3c-4e bonding schemes presented here are consistent with high-level ab initio calculations which show d-orbital participation in main group hypervalent molecules is insignificant, and are thus more correct than the sp3d- and sp3d2-hybridization schemes. An important conclusion based on the 3c-4e bonding schemes is that the central atom in these molecules, while seemingly in violation of the octet rule according to the electron-dot formula, actually fulfills the octet shell. The fulfillment of the octet electron shell for the central atom is achieved by discounting the non-bonding electrons which are localized at the ligands, and is interpreted as a factor in the stability of these closed-shell hypervalent molecules. To physically withhold the non-bonding electrons from being shared with the central atom, the electronegativity of the ligands must be significantly greater than that of the central atom. This minimizes the repulsive interactions between the non-bonding electron lobes and other bonded electron pairs. This conclusion is in accord with the experimental observation that nearly all stable main group hypervalent molecules have a central atom more electropositive than its ligands.

AB  - Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) subtype B (aMPV/B) nucleotide sequences were obtained for the phosphoprotein (P), second matrix protein (M2), and small hydrophobic protein (SH) genes. By comparison with sequences from other metapneumoviruses, aMPV/B was most similar to subtype A aMPV (aMPV/A) relative to the US subtype C isolates (aMPV/C) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). Strictly conserved residues common to all members of the Pneumovirinae were identified in the predicted amino acid sequences of the P and M2 protein-predicted amino acid sequences. The Cys3-His1 motif, thought to be important for binding zinc, was also present in the aMPV M2 predicted protein sequences. For both the P and M2-1 protein-predicted amino acid sequences, aMPV/B was most similar to aMPV/A (72 and 89% identity, respectively), having only approximately 52 and 70% identity, respectively, relative to aMPV/C and hMPV. Differences were more marked in the M2-2 proteins, subtype B having 64% identity with subtype A but ≤25% identity with subtype C and hMPV. The A and B subtypes of aMPV had predicted amino acid sequence identities for the SH protein of 47%, and less than 20% with that of hMPV. An SH gene was not detected in the aMPV/C. Phylogenetically, aMPV/B clustered with aMPV/A, while aMPV/C grouped with hMPV. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunomagnetic electrochemiluminescence (IM-ECL) were used for comparison of the percent recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum in environmental water samples obtained from a spring draining a karst basin. The monoclonal antibodies to C. parvum, isotype IgG3 were used for optimization of the IM-ECL protocol. The combination of biotinylated and TAG-labeled anti-C. parvum antibodies with the streptavidin beads gave a linear regression slope for log ECL vs. log fresh oocysts of 0.79 (from 5 to 5000 oocysts), which indicates a constant ECL signal per oocyst. Standard curves gave a dynamic range of 5 to 5000 oocysts/ml (fresh) and 10 to 100,000 cells/ml (4-month-old oocysts) with the maximum limit of linear detection higher than 100,000. The linear slope of 4-month-old oocysts decreased to 0.62, which indicates that ECL signal is a function of oocyst age. The experiment associated with bead storage time shows that even after 4 months of storage of the biotinylated antibodies, the complex retains the ability for binding the oocysts and generating the ECL signal. Based on the IFA results in the experiment evaluating different protocols for oocysts recovery from karst water samples, the most efficient protocol involved dispersion, followed by flotation and immunomagnetic separation (IMS) (24% recovery). The ECL results obtained in that experiment were very similar to the results obtained in the IFA method, which indicates that the IM-ECL method is accurate. Results of the IFA in the study of the prevalence of C. parvum in the groundwater showed that oocysts were present in 78% of 1 L water samples with average number of oocysts of 6.4±5.5 and ranged from 0 (13 samples) to 23.3 (2 samples). The ECL signal generated from these water samples ranged from 3771 to 622 (average 1620±465). However, the background value estimated in groundwater samples with low number of oocysts detected by IFA was highly variable and elevated (from 3702 to 272, average 1503±475). The background value as a result of nonspecific binding to beads by unidentified organic components in the water can inhibit or even completely mask the signal generated by oocysts. Our investigations showed that the IM-ECL method appears to be promising for the qualitative and quantitative detection of C. parvum from the environmental water; however, the method requires further development to improve sensitivity and account for background signals.

AB  - In the mechanics of multiphase (or multicomponent) mixtures, one of the outstanding issues is the formulation of constitutive relations for the interaction force. In this paper, we give a brief review of the various relations proposed for this interaction force. The review is tilted toward presenting the works of those who have used the mixture theory (or the theory of interacting continua) to derive or to propose a relationship for the interaction (or diffusive) force. We propose a constitutive relation which is general and frame-indifferent and thus suitable for use in many flow conditions. At the end, we provide an alternative approach for finding the drag force on a particle in a particulate mixture. This approach has been used in the non-Newtonian fluid mechanics to find the drag force on surfaces. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) mutant that exhibits a procumbent growth habit was identified and characterized. In two wild type (WT) genetic backgrounds, segregation patterns revealed that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a recessive allele at a single locus, which was designated weary. Hypocotyls and inflorescence stems of plants homozygous for the weary allele exhibited reduced gravitropic responses compared with WT plants, but roots exhibited normal gravitropism. Microscopic analysis revealed differences in the radial distribution of amyloplasts in hypocotyl and inflorescence stem cells of weary and WT plants. Amyloplasts occurred in a single layer of endodermal cells in WT hypocotyls and inflorescence stems. By contrast, amyloplasts were observed in several layers of cortical cells in weary hypocotyls, and weary inflorescence stem cells lacked amyloplasts entirely. These results are consistent with the proposed role of sedimenting amyloplasts in shoot gravitropism of higher plants. The phenotype associated with the weary mutant is similar to that described for the Arabidopsis mutant sgr1/scr, which is defective in radial patterning and gravitropism. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) were cut into 5 mm slices and placed in polystyrene trays. Various volatile compounds were introduced inside the trays before the lids were covered. The development of decay and the shelf life of the slices were evaluated during storage at 10 °C. Kiwifruit slices treated with 2.24, 11.2, or 22.4 μl l−1 methyl jasmonate maintained good quality after 3 weeks at 10 °C compared to the control slices. Comparable results were obtained with absolute ethyl alcohol (300 μl l−1) or isopropyl alcohol (300 μl l−1). However, 1-propanol was less effective and methyl alcohol was not effective in maintaining the quality of kiwifruit slices. Methods of application affected the efficacy of the volatile compounds. In general, suspension of the source of volatile compounds within the trays yielded better results compared to volatilization of the volatile compounds from beakers placed inside the trays. In addition to having less decay, kiwifruit slices treated with methyl jasmonate also maintained higher levels of sugars and organic acids compared to the untreated slices. Measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the trays indicated that oxygen never dropped below 19.5% and carbon dioxide remained at approximately 0.8% in all treatments during the 3 weeks at 10 °C. No differences in respiration rates between methyl jasmonate treatment and control were detected. Ethylene production increased during the first 7 days and then decreased gradually. However, no differences in ethylene production between methyl jasmonate treatment and control were found. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Two sample preparation methods for multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of plasmid-bearing virulent Yersinia enterocolitica (YEP+) from ground pork were compared. Two sets of ground pork samples were inoculated with 10, 1, and 0.5 CFU/cm2 of a YEP+ strain, one set was swabbed and the second set was dispersed into a slurry homogenate. Both swab and slurry homogenate samples were enriched in sterile Whirl Pak bags containing modified trypticase soy broth for 48 h at 12 °C. From the enriched swab samples, the bacterial cells were pelleted, washed, boiled in sterile distilled water, and treated with proteinase K to prepare cell lysates to use as a DNA template. Since slurry homogenate samples contained food material, DNA extraction was performed using a commercial kit. The DNA from cell lysates and from extracted slurry homogenate samples were evaluated as templates for multiplex PCR employing primers for the chromosomal ail and plasmid virF genes. The enrichment of the YEP+ strain was more efficient using the sponge-swabbed samples than the slurry homogenate samples at all three inoculum levels tested. It was necessary to dilute the DNA extracted from slurry homogenate to determine the optimal concentration of each sample for PCR amplification. No amplification signal was detected using undiluted DNA, possibly due to DNA inhibitors present in the slurry homogenate that were not removed in the process of extraction. However, DNA could be detected in undiluted cell lysates from swab samples. Thus, the cell lysates from swab samples are more advantageous than DNA extracted from ground pork slurry homogenate samples for the PCR assay. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Beef gravy samples inoculated with Clostridium perfringens spores were heat shocked at 75 °C for 20 min, and then thermotolerance at 100 °C was assessed using a submerged-coil heating apparatus. Survivors were enumerated on Shahidi Ferguson Perfringens agar. An association of the heat resistance with the origin of the C. perfringens could not be established due to significant variations in the heat resistance among strains. Interestingly, deviations from classical logarithmic linear declines in the log numbers with time were not observed in both control and heat shocked samples. D-values at 100 °C for C. perfringens spores ranged from 15.5 to 21.4 min. Heat shocked spores of 9 out of 10 strains had significantly higher (<f>p<0.05</f>) D-values at 100 °C than unstressed spores. Proteins with epitopic and size similarity to Escherichia coli GroEL and Bacillus subtilis small acid-soluble protein, SspC, were present in spores. However, heat shock treated spores did not appear to significantly increase expression of these proteins. Acquired thermotolerance is of substantial practical importance to food processors and should provide useful information for designing thermal treatments to eliminate C. perfringens spores in ready-to-eat foods.

AB  - High-performance liquid chromatography–atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry was used to identify flavone aglycones and glycosides in soybean pods. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS–MS and MS–MS–MS) and photodiode array detection were also utilized in flavone characterization. A total of seven flavone aglycones and glycosides were identified. Among them three flavone aglycones—apigenin, 7,4′-dihydroxyflavone, and luteolin—and two flavone glycosides—apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, and luteolin-7-O-β-d-glucoside—were unambiguously identified based on their abundant (M+H)+ ions, UV spectra, retention time, and tandem mass spectrometric analysis compared with authentic standards. The tentative identification of two flavone glycosides as 7,4′-dihydroxyflavone-7-O-β-d-glucoside and apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucoside-6″-O-malonate was based on UV spectra, (M+H)+ ions, and tandem mass spectrometry. This is the first report identifying flavone aglycones and glycosides in soybean pods. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Although rare, detection of Mycobacterium bovis infection of captive or free-ranging elk (Cervus elaphus) elicits serious concern due to regulatory and zoonotic implications. Few studies, however, have evaluated the immune response of elk to M. bovis or other pathogens. To model natural infection, elk were vaccinated with live M. bovis bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG, Pasteur strain) for evaluation of immune responsiveness to this attenuated live vaccine. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of vaccinated elk proliferated in response to stimulation with a soluble mycobacterial antigen preparation (i.e. M. bovis purified protein derivative, PPDb). Greater numbers of sIgM+ cells (i.e. B cells) proliferated in this response than did either CD4+, γδTCR+ or CD8+ cells. The in vivo response (i.e. delayed type hypersensitivity, DTH) to PPDb by vaccinated elk exceeded both the response by non-vaccinated elk and BCG-vaccinated cattle at 24, 48, and 72 h post-administration of PPD. In vivo responses to PPDb by vaccinated elk diminished after 72 h as compared to responses at 24 and 48 h. Serum was also collected periodically and evaluated by ELISA for immunoglobulin (i.e. IgG heavy and light chains) reactivity to crude mycobacterial antigens. Two weeks post-vaccination and throughout the duration of the study, serum immunoglobulin reactivity to PPDb and to a proteinase K-digested whole cell sonicate of BCG exceeded that of serum from non-vaccinated elk. Intradermal administration of PPD for measurement of hypersensitive responses boosted the serum antibody response. These findings demonstrate that BCG vaccination of elk induces a serum antibody response to crude M. bovis antigens, a B cell in vitro proliferative response, and in vivo trafficking of mononuclear cells to sites of mycobacterial antigen administration (i.e. delayed type hypersensitivity). A predominant B cell in vitro proliferative response by elk PBMC to crude mycobacterial test antigens will likely impact the development of improved diagnostic tests of tuberculosis infection for this species.

AB  - A long term maximum yield soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] research project was initiated at Wooster, OH (40°N latitude) in 1977 with the specific objectives of determining the yield potential of soybeans and identifying yield limiting factors. Results from this research suggest there is a delayed flowering barrier to higher soybean yields in the higher latitudes where the light intensity (sun angle) is highest and the day length is longest early in the growing season, declining as the growing season progresses. At Wooster, OH, the average 24 h total solar radiation declines from 474 Langleys (cal/cm2) in June to 351 Langleys in September. The maximum daily solar energy declines from 680 Langleys (15–30 June) to 444 Langleys 15–30 September. Under normal spring temperatures in May, soybeans planted during the first week of May normally bloom during the first week of July. However, in 1982, 1985, 1998, and 1999, unusually early warm spring temperatures in May resulted in the soybeans flowering around 15 June, 2 weeks earlier than normal. In a maximum yield environment, where all manageable yield limiting factors were minimized, test average yields were 5963 kg/ha in 1982, 5549 kg/ha in 1985, 5383 kg/ha in 1998, and 5416 kg/ha in 1999, with individual lines producing replicated yields in the 6000–7000 kg/ha range. In the intervening years, 1983 and 1984 and from 1986 to 1997, with more normal spring temperatures, test average yields in the maximum yield environment ranged from 3575 to 4862 kg/ha, with highest yielding individual lines producing yields in the 4200–5500 kg/ha range. These results indicate there is a temperature by photoperiod interaction in soybeans that results in soybeans flowering up to 2 weeks earlier than normal in response to above normal temperatures in early spring (in May at Wooster, OH). This results in the soybeans entering the reproductive cycle earlier in the growing season when the days are longer and the light intensity is higher (greater total solar radiation is available). Also the length of the reproductive cycle was increased since maturity was similar to years of more normal spring temperatures. This resulted in a significant increase in the yield potential of soybeans in years of unusually early warm spring temperatures. These results suggest if breeders can develop full season soybean cultivars that will bloom earlier under more normal spring temperatures, the yield potential of soybeans in the higher latitudes could be significantly increased.

AB  - Factor analysis was used to assess relationships in the minimum-inhibitory concentration among 17 antimicrobials tested on isolates of Escherichia coli isolated from 360 faecal samples obtained from feedlot cattle. Six factors were extracted using maximum-likelihood factor analysis. The factors were interpretable antimicrobial groupings based on class of antimicrobial and previously described associations. New-generation cephalosporins, older-generation beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides grouped separately as classes of antimicrobials on four of the six factors. One of the remaining factors was a grouping of antimicrobials that had been identified as being related in previous feedlot studies. The last factor was a grouping of three of the five antimicrobials that comprise the antimicrobials found in penta-resistant strains of Salmonella Typhimurium. The factor analysis described patterns in the MIC data that would not have been apparent if only antimicrobial-resistance data categorized as susceptible-resistance had been analysed.

AB  - Column studies were conducted to determine the ability of ozone to degrade aniline and trifluralin in soil. Ozone rapidly degraded aniline from soil under moist soil conditions, 5% (wt). Removal of 77–98% of [UL-14C]-aniline was observed from soil columns (15 ml, <f>i.d.=2.5</f> cm), exposed to 0.6% O3 (wt) at 200 ml/min after 4 min. Initial ozonation products included nitrosobenzene and nitrobenzene, while further oxidation led to CO2. Ring-labeled-[UL-14C]-trifluralin removal rates were slower, requiring 30 min to achieve removals of 70–97%. Oxidation and cleavage of the <f>N</f>-propyl groups of trifluralin was observed, affording 2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-aniline, 2,6-dinitro-<f>N</f>-propyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzamine, and 2,6-dinitro-<f>N</f>-propyl-<f>N</f>-acetonyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzamine. Base solutions revealed that trifluralin was similarly oxidized to CO2, where 72–83% of the activity recovered comprised 14CO2. Use of ozone-rich water improved contaminant removal in trifluralin-amended soil columns, but did not improve removal in aniline, pentachloroaniline, hexachlorobenzene amended soil columns, suggesting that ozonated water may improve contaminant removal for reactive contaminants of low solubility.

AB  - Listeria monocytogenes is a common contaminant of ready-to-eat meat products, including frankfurters. Ionizing (gamma) radiation can eliminate L. monocytogenes from frankfurters. Citric acid (CA) is an antioxidant synergist and anti-microbial agent that can be applied to the surfaces of cured meat products prior to packaging. The effect of CA on the radiation resistance of L. monocytogenes that was surface-inoculated onto frankfurters was determined. The D10 values, the radiation doses required to inactivate 90% of viable L. monocytogenes, were 0.61, 0.60, 0.54, and 0.53 kGy, on frankfurters dipped in 0, 1, 5 or 10% CA solution, respectively. CA, although an antioxidant synergist, did not increase antioxidant activity (AA) on frankfurter surfaces as determined by the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Lipid oxidation, as determined by the Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay, was not affected by CA or ionizing radiation. Color of frankfurters, determined by Hunter L, a, b, indicated that ionizing radiation induced a small, but visually imperceptible, loss of redness (a-value). Frankfurter firmness, as measured by maximum shear force, was not affected by ionizing radiation or CA. CA enhanced the lethality of ionizing radiation without negatively impacting frankfurter color, lipid oxidation, firmness, or antioxidant activity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The increase in the use of non-arsenical copper-based wood preservatives in response to environmental concerns has been accompanied by interest in copper-tolerant decay fungi. Oxalic acid production by brown-rot fungi has been proposed as one mechanism of copper tolerance. Fifteen brown-rot fungi representing the genera Postia, Wolfiporia, Meruliporia, Gloeophyllum, Laetiporus, Coniophora, Antrodia, Serpula, and Tyromyces were evaluated for oxalic acid production bi-weekly in southern yellow pine (SYP) blocks treated with 1.2% ammoniacal copper citrate (CC). Eleven fungi were designated copper-tolerant based upon weight loss in CC-treated blocks. After 2 weeks, these fungi produced 2–17 times more oxalic acid in CC-treated blocks than in untreated blocks. After 10 weeks, weight loss ranged from 32% to 57% in CC-treated SYP. Four fungi were copper sensitive, producing low levels of oxalic acid and minimal weight loss in CC-treated blocks. Rapid induction of oxalic acid appeared to correlate closely with copper tolerance. We conclude that the brown-rot fungi tested that were able to exceed and maintain an oxalic acid concentration of <f>&ges;600 μmol/g</f> effectively decayed SYP treated with CC.

AB  - Accumulation of oxalic acid (OA) by brown-rot fungi and precipitation of copper oxalate crystals in wood decayed by copper-tolerant decay fungi has implicated OA in the mechanism of copper tolerance. Understanding the role of OA in copper tolerance is important due to an increasing reliance on copper-based wood preservatives. In this study, four copper-tolerant brown-rot fungi were evaluated for decay capacity and OA production in early stages of exposure to four waterborne copper-based wood preservatives (ammonical copper quat type B and D, ammonical copper citrate, and chromated copper arsenate, type C) and one oilborne copper-based wood preservative (oxine copper) in southern yellow pine blocks. Weight losses were less than 14% during the 4-week incubation. The presence of copper in waterborne preservatives uniformly stimulated OA production by the test fungi within 2 weeks of exposure of the treated blocks to test fungi; 66% to 93% more OA was produced in treated blocks than untreated controls. Oxine copper, a nickel-containing oilborne preservative, prevented both weight loss and OA production in all fungi tested. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The major components of the egg hydrocarbons were dimethylalkanes (40%) and trimethylalkanes (24%) in which the first methyl branch was on carbon 2. The major dimethylalkanes were an approximately 2:1 mixture of 2,10- and 2,6-dimethyloctacosanes in females and eggs. The major trimethylalkanes were a mixture of 2,10,16- and 2,10,18-trimethyloctacosanes. 2,x- and 2,x,y-methyl-branched alkanes with an odd-numbered carbon backbone were proposed to have an even number of carbon atoms between the first and second methyl branch points indicating that their biosynthesis started with a primer derived from leucine. 13,17,21,25-Tetramethylheptatriacontane was the only tetramethylalkane identified. Females and eggs had more hydrocarbons with a 2-methyl branch point than did the males. The eggs had the lowest amount of internally-branched dimethylalkanes but the largest amount of 2,x-dimethylalkanes in their surface hydrocarbons. Only trace amounts of n-alkanes and alkenes were detected in the surface hydrocarbons of adult males and females, larvae and eggs, of the Colorado potato beetle. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The US Department of Energy has developed a graded approach for evaluating radiation doses to biota. Limiting concentrations of radionuclides in water, soil, and sediment were derived for twenty-three radionuclides. Four organism types (aquatic animals, riparian animals, terrestrial animals, and terrestrial plants) were selected as the basis for method development. While environmental transfer data needed for deriving biota tissue concentrations are available for aquatic animals and terrestrial plants, less information is available for terrestrial and riparian organisms. Two methods were applied and examined for their ability to provide estimates of organism:soil or organism:water concentration factors in lieu of measured data. The kinetic/allometric approach combined with a parameter uncertainty analysis provides a needed method to estimate concentration factors across multiple species with limited input data.

T1  - Derivation of a screening methodology for evaluating radiation dose to aquatic and terrestrial biota

AB  - The United States Department of Energy (DOE) currently has in place a radiation dose standard for the protection of aquatic animals, and is considering additional dose standards for terrestrial biota. These standards are: 10 mGy/d for aquatic animals, 10 mGy/d for terrestrial plants, and, 1 mGy/d for terrestrial animals. Guidance on suitable approaches to the implementation of these standards is needed. A screening methodology, developed through DOE’s Biota Dose Assessment Committee (BDAC), serves as the principal element of DOE’s graded approach for evaluating radiation doses to aquatic and terrestrial biota. Limiting concentrations of radionuclides in water, soil, and sediment were derived for 23 radionuclides. Four organism types (aquatic animals; riparian animals; terrestrial animals; and terrestrial plants) were selected as the basis for development of the screening method. Internal doses for each organism type were calculated as the product of contaminant concentration, bioaccumulation factor(s) and dose conversion factors. External doses were calculated based on the assumption of immersion of the organism in soil, sediment, or water. The assumptions and default parameters used provide for conservative screening values. The screening methodology within DOE’s graded approach should prove useful in demonstrating compliance with biota dose limits and for conducting screening assessments of radioecological impact. It provides a needed evaluation tool that can be employed within a framework for protection of the environment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This paper provides a bridge between the fields of ecological risk assessment (ERA) and radioecology by presenting key biota dose assessment issues identified in the US Department of Energy’s Graded Approach for Evaluating Radiation Doses to Aquatic and Terrestrial Biota in a manner consistent with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s framework for ERA. Current radiological ERA methods and data are intended for use in protecting natural populations of biota, rather than individual members of a population. Potentially susceptible receptors include vertebrates and terrestrial plants. One must ensure that all media, radionuclides (including short-lived radioactive decay products), types of radiations (i.e., alpha particles, electrons, and photons), and pathways (i.e., internal and external contamination) are combined in each exposure scenario. The relative biological effectiveness of alpha particles with respect to deterministic effects must also be considered. Expected safe levels of exposure are available for the protection of natural populations of aquatic biota (10 mGy d−1) and terrestrial plants (10 mGy d−1) and animals (1 mGy d−1) and are appropriate for use in all radiological ERA tiers, provided that appropriate exposure assumptions are used. Caution must be exercised (and a thorough justification provided) if more restrictive limits are selected, to ensure that the supporting data are of high quality, reproducible, and clearly relevant to the protection of natural populations.

AB  - Processing methods are described for the development of magnesium diboride wire using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to produce long lengths of suitably doped starting boron fiber. It is found that titanium can be co-deposited with the boron to make long lengths of doped fiber that contain both TiB and TiB2. When this fiber is reacted in Mg vapor to transform boron into MgB2, the resulting conductor has a superconducting critical current density of about <f>5×106</f> A/cm2 at 5 K and self-field. The critical current density at 25 K and 1 T is 10,000 A/cm2. Using optical methods to define grain boundaries and energy dispersive X-rays to determine Ti and Mg concentration, these samples show a fine dispersion of Ti through out the grains and no conspicuous precipitation of TiB2 on the MgB2 grain boundaries. This is to be contrasted with the precipitation of TiB2 on MgB2 grain boundaries observed for samples prepared by solid state reaction of Ti, Mg, and B powders. Introducing Ti impurities into the B during the CVD deposition of the B gives a distribution of TiB2 in the resulting MgB2 different from solid state reaction of powders. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - ‘Golden Delicious’ apples were treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP) or kept at room temperature for the duration of the MCP treatment. After the MCP treatment, they were wounded and inoculated with the pathogen Penicillium expansum or with P. expansum and a heat tolerant yeast (antagonist). After incubation at room temperature for up to 48 h, the apples were treated with heat at 38 °C for 4 days, and/or moved to cold storage for up to 5 months. Heat had an eradicative effect, when the pathogen was allowed to incubate in the apple wounds for 6 or 12 h after inoculation, resulting in less decay than at any other incubation time. The highest decay incidence occurred on the control that was inoculated with the pathogen and placed in cold storage. The least decay incidence and the smallest lesion diameter occurred on apples treated with a combination of the antagonist plus heat or heat alone. In general, MCP-treated apples had a higher lesion incidence, but similar lesion severity compared with non-MCP-treated apples. Only in the combination treatment of heat plus the antagonist, when the incubation time of the pathogen was between 6 and 24 h, was the lesion diameter slightly larger on MCP-treated fruit than on fruit not treated with MCP. This difference between the MCP-treated apples and non-MCP-treated apples decreased during storage. Antagonist populations in the apple wounds were stable or increased for all treatments. They were higher on MCP-treated apples than on non-MCP-treated apples and they increased with increasing incubation periods at room temperature after inoculation. Antagonist populations on apples heat treated after inoculation were higher than those kept at room temperature immediately after the heat treatment and after 3 months storage. The heat treatment had an eradicative effect, whereas the antagonist had a protective effect. The combination of heat and antagonist was more effective than either treatment alone, even when there was a delay of the heat treatment for up to 24 h. The combination of these two control measures, therefore, was complementary and resulted in better decay control than either treatment alone. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the maize pathogen Gibberella moniliformis and are associated with cancer in rodents. In this study, we determined the nucleotide sequence of a 75-kb region of G. moniliformis DNA and identified 18 heretofore undescribed genes flanking a cluster of five previously identified fumonisin biosynthetic (FUM) genes. Ten of the newly identified genes downstream of the cluster were coregulated with FUM genes and exhibited patterns of expression that were correlated with fumonisin production. BLASTX analyses indicated that the predicted functions of proteins encoded by the 10 genes were consistent with activities expected for fumonisin biosynthesis or self-protection. These data indicate that the 10 newly identified genes and the previously identified FUM genes constitute a fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster. Disruption of two of the new genes, encoding longevity assurance factors, had no apparent effect on fumonisin production, but disruption of a third, encoding an ABC transporter, had a subtle effect on ratios of fumonisins produced.

AB  - The predominate crops grown in the northern Great Plains of the United States are cereal grains, which are well adapted to the region’s semiarid climate and short growing season. However, rotations are changing because minimum- and no-till production systems improve precipitation-use-efficiency. Therefore, producers are seeking diversity in crop choices to improve the design of their rotations. Our objective with this study was to examine water relations and agronomic performance of seven broadleaf crops that may be suitable for a semiarid climate. Dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were the most favorable for this region considering crop yield and water-use-efficiency (WUE). Soybean (Glycine max L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst), canola (Brassica rapa L.), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were less successful. Water use for grain production ranged from 23 to 37 cm among crops whereas water-use-efficiency varied three-fold. Soil water extraction patterns differed between sunflower and dry pea, with sunflower extracting more water as well as accessing water deeper in the soil profile. Integrating oilseed and legume crops with cereal grains in a cycle-of-four rotation will aid producers in managing diseases and weeds, as well as improve grain yield due to the rotation effect.

AB  - Hybrid striped bass (HSB) were immunized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the specific anti-BSA immunoglobulin (Ig) was affinity purified from the resulting serum by means of an agarose gel-BSA column. The native Ig had an apparent molecular size of 893 KDD, by size exclusion chromatography, and when examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) under denaturing conditions, resolved to heavy (H) and light (L) chains of 76 and 27 KDD, respectively. Affinity purified native HSB Ig was used to immunize a goat which produced specific anti-HSB Ig antibody (Ab). Purified native HSB Ig was also used to produce two murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with specific affinities for H and L chain moieties of the HSB Ig molecule. Both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies could be used individually in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure specific anti-BSA Ig in HSB serum. These antibodies could also be used in combination to measure total Ig in a capture ELISA format. Using both assays, the kinetics of the humoral immune response of HSB was measured for 98 days following two injections of BSA. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Field studies on the efficacy and persistence of an introduced strain of Beauveria bassiana for insect control require detection assays to differentiate the non-native strain from indigenous populations. In this study we developed strain-specific molecular markers based on polymerase chain reaction amplification of sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCAR) in combination with dilution plating on semi-selective medium to detect and estimate density of propagules of a commercial strain of B. bassiana (strain GHA) in field samples. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, unique fragments that distinguished GHA from other strains of B. bassiana were obtained. Three amplicons, <f>OPA-140.44</f>, <f>OPA-150.44</f>, and <f>OPB-90.67</f>, generated with RAPD primers were cloned and sequenced and used as bases for designing SCAR primers OPA14 <f>F/R445</f>, OPA15 <f>F/R441</f>, and OPB9 <f>F/R677</f>, respectively. All three SCAR primers were highly sensitive, capable of detecting 100 pg B. bassiana GHA genomic DNA, and thus could be used to detect varying levels of the fungus in the field.

AB  - The results of prospective studies on the relations between the plasma concentration of total homocysteine (tHcy) and B-vitamins, on the one hand, and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, on the other hand, are inconclusive and scarce considering the relation with B-vitamins. We prospectively determined these relations in a case-cohort study. The full-cohort existed in ∼36,000 Dutch adults aged 20–59 years at baseline. The statistical analyses were done with a random sample from the cohort (n=630) complemented with all subjects who died of CHD (n=102) during a mean follow-up of 10.3 years. All subjects reported the absence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) at baseline. The plasma concentrations of tHcy, folate, PLP, and vitamin B12 were determined in samples obtained at baseline. Men with a tHcy concentration in the highest tertile (T3) compared with men in the lowest tertile (T1) had a relative risk (RR) of 1.14 for CHD (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.50, 2.61) after adjusting for age, study center, hypertension, HDL and total cholesterol, smoking, and creatinine. For women, this RR was 2.04 (95% CI: 0.48, 8.62). For each 5 μmol/l increase in tHcy, the RR of CHD was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.83–1.29) for men and women combined. In women only, high folate levels were associated with a statistically significant protection of fatal CHD (T3 versus T1; RR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.87). Plasma PLP (B6) and vitamin B12 concentrations were not associated with CHD risk. We conclude that elevated tHcy concentrations do not seem to be a risk factor for CHD mortality in these relatively young healthy Dutch subjects free of baseline CVD. Higher folate concentrations may be protective of CHD, but this needs confirmation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The molecular-iodine and iodide-ion contents of starch–iodine complexes, prepared by subjecting corn amylose (average degree of polymerization, <f><ovl type="bar" STYLE="S">dp</ovl></f> 1050), low-molecular-weight amylose (<f><ovl type="bar" STYLE="S">dp</ovl></f> 61–69), amylose–cyclohexanol complexes, and native corn starches to iodine vapor for 30 days under different conditions of relative humidity (RH), were determined by a differential method requiring titrations with both KIO3 and Na2S2O3. Iodide content generally increased with increase in relative humidity. However, the analytical method was incapable of providing reliable iodide values for complexes of very low total iodine content (<5 wt%), such as those of ordinary corn starch, waxy maize starch, and low-<f><ovl type="bar" STYLE="S">dp</ovl></f> amylose. A granular hybrid corn starch of 64% amylose content yielded, at 100% RH, a complex containing 10.0 wt% of total iodine <f>(I/I−=3.7).</f> Low-<f><ovl type="bar" STYLE="S">dp</ovl></f> amylose exhibited low reactivity toward iodine vapor, even at 100% RH; however, a cyclohexanol complex of low-<f><ovl type="bar" STYLE="S">dp</ovl></f> amylose reacted readily at 100% RH, with concurrent elimination of cyclohexanol, to produce a starch–iodine complex of unusually high iodine content (33.1 wt% of total iodine; <f>I/I−=3.65</f>). The behavior of corn amylose toward iodine was found to be dependent upon its method of preparation from corn starch. One method of preparation yielded an amylose that, under anhydrous conditions, was very resistant to complexation with iodine, but which was very reactive at 30–100% RH, producing a complex that contained as much as 18.5 wt% of total iodine <f>(I/I−=3.49).</f> A different procedure for preparing amylose gave a starch that reacted readily under anhydrous conditions to produce a complex containing 21.8 wt% of molecular iodine and no detectable amount of iodide ion. A cyclohexanol complex of corn amylose reacted with iodine vapor at 100% RH, with concurrent elimination of cyclohexanol, to form a starch–iodine complex having a total iodine content of 31.6 wt% <f>(I/I−=3.91).</f> For most of the iodine complexes, there was a close similarity between I− content and H+ content, suggesting that the source of iodide ion was hydrolysis of molecular iodine by water of hydration in the starch.

AB  - The effects of calcium propionate, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) on postharvest pathogens of apple and peach, and on improving the efficacy of the biocontrol product Aspire were evaluated. All three materials had a distinct inhibitory effect on the radial growth of Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in vitro. The inhibitory effect increased with the concentration of each material. When tested on apple, sodium bicarbonate and EDTA exhibited only a curative effect (control of pre-existing infections) against infections caused by B. cinerea. Ca-propionate, however, provided both protective and curative effects against infections caused by B. cinerea. In the case of P. expansum, sodium bicarbonate, at concentrations up to 0.4% and EDTA, at all concentrations tested, failed to provide any curative or protective activity against infections by P. expansum on apple. Sodium bicarbonate at 2% was the most consistent in providing a measure of fungicidal activity when used alone. In combination with Aspire, 2% sodium bicarbonate exhibited a consistent ability to significantly enhance its biocontrol performance (curative and protective effect) against Botrytis and Penicillium rot in apple and Monilinia and Rhizopus rot in peach. Based on these results, it appears that the use of additives, such as sodium bicarbonate, is a useful approach to improve the efficacy of yeast antagonists used for postharvest disease control.

AB  - Aflatoxin contamination of foods and feeds is a world-wide agricultural problem. Aflatoxin production requires expression of the biosynthetic pathway regulatory gene, aflR, which encodes a Cys6Zn2-type DNA-binding protein. Homologs of aflR from Aspergillus nomius, bombycis, parasiticus, flavus, and pseudotamarii were compared to investigate the molecular basis for variation among aflatoxin-producing taxa in the regulation of aflatoxin production. Variability was found in putative promoter consensus elements and coding region motifs, including motifs involved in developmental regulation (AbaA, BrlA), regulation of nitrogen source utilization (AreA), and pH regulation (PacC), and in coding region PEST domains. Some of these elements may affect expression of aflJ, a gene divergently transcribed from aflR, that also is required for aflatoxin accumulation. Comparisons of phylogenetic trees obtained with either aligned aflR intergenic region sequence or coding region sequence and the observed divergence in regulatory features among the taxa provide evidence that regulatory signals for aflatoxin production evolved to respond to a variety of environmental stimuli under differential selective pressures. Phylogenetic analyses also suggest that isolates currently assigned to the A. flavus morphotype SBG represent a distinct species and that A. nomius is a diverse paraphyletic assemblage likely to contain several species.

AB  - To investigate the treatment capability of a surface flow wetland at a container nursery near Portland, Oregon, atrazine was introduced during simulated runoff events. Treatment efficiency was evaluated as the percent atrazine recovered (as percent of applied) in the water column at the wetland''s outlet. Atrazine treatment efficiency at the outlet of the constructed wetland during a 7-d period ranged from 18–24% in 1998 (experiments 1–3) and 16–17% in 1999 (experiments 4 and 5). Changes in total flow, or frequency and intensity of runoff events did not affect treatment. For experiment 6 in 1999, where the amount, frequency, and duration of runoff events exceeded all other experiments, treatment was compromised. For all experiments, deethylatrazine (DEA) and deisopropylatrazine (DIA) accounted for 13–21% of the initial application. Hydroxyatrazine (HA) was rarely detected in the water. Organic carbon adsorption coefficients <f>(Koc)</f> were determined from batch equilibrium sorption isotherms with wetland sediment, and they decreased in the order of HA>DIA>atrazine>DEA. Static water–sediment column experiments indicated that sorption is an important mechanism for atrazine loss from water passing through the constructed wetland. The results of the MPN assay indicated the existence in the wetland of a low-density population of microorganisms with the potential to mineralize atrazine''s ethyl side chain.

AB  - Fatty epoxides are used as plasticizers and plastic stabilizers and are intermediates for the production of other chemical substances. The currently used industrial procedure for fatty epoxide synthesis requires a strong acid catalyst which can cause oxirane ring opening and side product formation. To find a replacement for the acid catalyst, we have been conducting research on a peroxygenase enzyme from oat (Avena sativa) seeds and have devised a method for immobilization of this enzyme using a hydrophobic membrane support. In this study, fatty acids and fatty methyl esters commonly encountered in commercial vegetable oils were tested as substrates for immobilized peroxygenase, and the epoxide products were characterized. The epoxidation time course of linoleic acid showed two distinct phases with nearly complete conversion to monoepoxide before diepoxide was produced. The diepoxide formed from linolenic acid was found to be 9,10-15,16-diepoxy-12-octadecenoic acid, and only a trace of triepoxide was obtained. Additionally it was discovered that acyclic alkenes with internal double bonds, a cyclic alkene, and an alkene with an aromatic substituent were substrates of peroxygenase. However, alkenes with terminal unsaturation were unreactive. With every substrate examined, oat seed peroxygenase exhibited specificity for epoxidation, producing no other products, and oxirane ring opening did not occur. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The impact of live and killed Salmonella vaccines on cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was investigated in 18- and 32-week-old White Leghorn chickens, by assessing splenic lymphocyte proliferation, expression of IL-2 mRNA in concanavalin A (Con A) stimulated cells and flow cytometric analysis of cell subpopulations. Con A and Salmonella enteritidis (SE) flagella induced proliferation of splenocytes were enhanced in the 18- and 32-week-old chickens treated with live vaccine, compared to the corresponding control chickens. Among the killed vaccine treated birds, Con A-mediated response was higher in the 18-week-old chickens compared to the corresponding control birds. Increased proliferation was accompanied by increased CD4 and reduced CD8 and γδ T-lymphocytes in the 18-week-old live vaccine treated chickens. Relative expression of IL-2 mRNA in Con A-stimulated splenocytes from 18-week-old birds was not affected by vaccine treatment. Overall, live vaccine was more effective in increasing the lymphocyte proliferation to Con A as well as SE antigen. This enhanced CMI may prove beneficial in protecting chickens against SE infection.

AB  - The flow of granular materials between rotating cylinders is studied using a continuum model proposed by Rajagopal and Massoudi (A method for measuring material moduli for granular materials: flow in an orthogonal rheometer, DOE/PETC/TR90/3, 1990). For a steady, fully developed condition, the governing equations are reduced to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting boundary value problem is non-dimensionalized and is then solved numerically. The effect of material parameters, i.e., dimensionless numbers on the volume fraction and the velocity fields are studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, inoculated into ground beef, was heat-shocked at 46 <f>°</f>C for 60 min to enhance stress adaptations and simulate sublethal minimal cooking conditions. The effects of refrigeration at 4 <f>°</f>C or freezing at <f>−</f>20 <f>°</f>C were examined on pathogen survival prior to or following mild cooking at 60 <f>°</f>C. <f>D10</f>-values for heat-shocked samples were elevated as compared to nonheat-shocked controls. Refrigerated and frozen storage did not influence the observed effects. Cellular injury of survivors increased with timed exposure to 60 <f>°</f>C. The effects of refrigerated and frozen storage on heat-adapted L. monocytogenes in ground beef did not decrease the potential of the food-borne pathogen to survive additional low temperature cooking of food and raised concerns over the food safety of contaminated, temperature-abused foods.

AB  - A novel scheme based on multiplexed capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been developed for high-throughput, low-cost and comprehensive peptide mapping. Orthogonal peptide maps of the protein of interest were obtained by using multiple reaction conditions with three different enzymes (trypsin, pepsin, and chymotrypsin), and multiple separation conditions with six zone electrophoresis buffers and two micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) buffers. Fifteen nanoliters of two protein samples (β-lactoglobulin A and β-lactoglobulin B) were separately mixed on-column and digested independently at 37 °C for 10 min to produce peptides in a 20-capillary system. The resulting peptides were detected simultaneously at 214 nm by a photodiode array detector. The overall analysis time from reaction to detection was about 40 min. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Advanced pressurized fluidized bed combustors (PFBC) and integrated gasification combined cycles (IGCC) as economical clean coal technologies for the 21st century have attracted considerable attention. The success of these advanced coal energy systems hinges on effective and reliable commercial-scale filtration of gases at very high temperatures. The Pinon Pine hot-gas filtration system is the first industrial-scale application of an advanced particle filtration system in the United States. The system currently is becoming operational and will provide significant practical insights into operation of the industrial-scale hot-gas cleaning process.This study is concerned with a computer simulation of hot-gas flow and particle transport and deposition in the Pinon Pine filter vessel. The FLUENT™ code is used for evaluating the gas mean velocity, mean pressure, and the state of turbulence in the filter vessel. The 748 filters arranged into four tiers are modeled as four effective cylindrical filters. The particle equation of motion that includes the nonlinear drag and the gravity is used. The particle deposition patterns are evaluated, and the effect of particle size is studied. The results show that, for clean filters, the particle deposition rate of particles on different tiers depends on particle size. These differences could lead to nonuniform cake compositions and thicknesses on the candle filters in different tiers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The nickel borocarbides RNi2B2C, R=Y or Lu, have a superconducting Tc of 15–16 K and exhibit properties consistent with an anisotropic s-wave gap. We briefly review their properties. Electronic Raman scattering results are presented on YNi2B2C containing 11B or 10B. In A1g and B1g Raman symmetries, there is no shift in the position of the ‘2Δ’ peak with B-isotope. There is a distinct negative shift, however, in B2g symmetry. This is interpreted as a negative isotope shift for the gap Δ on that portion of the Fermi surface where the magnitude of the B2g Raman vertex is large. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Avenanthramides are a group of alkaloids that consist of an anthranilic acid derivative linked to a hydroxycinnamic acid derivative by a pseudo peptide bond, which are constituents of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain. The three most abundant avenanthramides, N-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bf), N-(4′-hydroxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bp), and N-(3′,4′-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bc), were synthesized and purified. These were tested for antioxidant activity using two in vitro systems: inhibition of β-carotene bleaching and reaction with the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Each avenanthramide displayed antioxidant activity in both systems. Bc had greater activity than Bp and Bf. Bc was nearly as active as the standard synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in the β-carotene system. In the DPPH system, Bc and Bf were more active than 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox®). The relative activities of the avenanthramides corresponded to those determined for their component hydroxycinnamic acid moieties using an aqueous DPPH system or in a lipophilic system that measured the autoxidation of methyl linoleate.

AB  - The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most widely studied of model fish species. Extensive basic biological information has been collected for this species, which because of their large size relative to other model fish species are particularly suitable for studies requiring ample quantities of specific cells and tissue types. Rainbow trout have been widely utilized for research in carcinogenesis, toxicology, comparative immunology, disease ecology, physiology and nutrition. They are distinctive in having evolved from a relatively recent tetraploid event, resulting in a high incidence of duplicated genes. Natural populations are available and have been well characterized for chromosomal, protein, molecular and quantitative genetic variation. Their ease of culture, and experimental and aquacultural significance has led to the development of clonal lines and the widespread application of transgenic technology to this species. Numerous microsatellites have been isolated and two relatively detailed genetic maps have been developed. Extensive sequencing of expressed sequence tags has begun and four BAC libraries have been developed. The development and analysis of additional genomic sequence data will provide distinctive opportunities to address problems in areas such as evolution of the immune system and duplicate genes.

AB  - The traditional linear model used in food microbiology employs three linear segments to describe the process of food spoilage and categorize a growth curve into three phases — lag, exponential, and stationary. The linear model is accurate only within certain portions of each phase of a growth process, and can underestimate or overestimate the transitional phases. While sigmoid functions (such as the Gompertz and logistic equations) can be used to fit the experimental growth data more accurately, they fail to indicate the physiological state of bacterial growth. The objective of this paper was to develop a new methodology to describe and categorize accurately the bacterial growth as a process using Clostridium perfringens as a test organism. This methodology utilized five linear segments represented by five linear models to categorize a bacterial growth process into lag, first transitional, exponential, second transitional, and stationary phases. Growth curves described in this paper using multiple linear models were more accurate than the traditional three-segment linear models, and were statistically equivalent to the Gompertz models. With the growth rates of transitional phases set to 1/3 of the exponential phase, the durations of the lag, first transitional, exponential, and second transitional phases in a growth curve described by the new method were correlated linearly. Since this linear relationship was independent of temperature, a complete five-segment growth curve could be generated from the maximum growth rate and a known duration of the first four growth phases. Moreover, the lag phase duration defined by the new method was a linear function of the traditional lag phase duration calculated from the Gompertz equation. With this relationship, the two traditional parameters (lag phase and maximum growth rate) used in a three-segment linear model can be used to generate a more accurate five-segment linear growth curve without involving complicated mathematical calculations.

AB  - Fumonisins, metabolites of Fusarium verticillioides (=F. moniliforme) and related fungi that occur naturally on corn, elicit various organ- and species-specific toxicities. However, immunologic effects of fumonisins are not well characterized. BALB/c mice were fed diets containing F. verticillioides culture material (CM) providing 50 (LD) or 150 (HD) ppm fumonisins (FB1+FB2) beginning 1 week before and continuing 5 weeks after challenge with the myotropic Brazil strain of T. cruzi. A control group (ZD) was fed a diet lacking CM. The LD and HD diets caused increases in tissue sphinganine/sphingosine ratios and minimum to mild hepatotoxicity, both of which are typically induced by fumonisins. Nitric oxide (NO) production by peritoneal macrophages from HD mice was significantly higher than by peritoneal macrophages from ZD mice on day 14 after challenge. NO production also was stimulated in macrophages from ZD mice, but the peak response did not occur until day 26 after challenge. Compared with ZD mice, LD and HD mice exhibited reduced parasitemia and decreased numbers of pseudocysts in cardiac muscle. Thus, the CM increased host resistance to T. cruzi by accelerating NO production by macrophages or otherwise enhancing the immune response. The findings provide additional evidence that fumonisins modulate immune function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The crystal structure of penta-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranose was determined with Mo Kα radiation at 150 K to R=0.029. The space group is P212121, and the unit cell dimensions are, a=8.348, b=9.021 and c=25.418 A˚. The ring has the usual 4C1 shape and O-6 is in the tg position as frequently observed for sugars having the axial galacto configuration at C-4. Conformations of the acetate groups were compared with those from the literature. Nearly eclipsed, ‘Z’ conformations are found for the ester moieties, and the torsion angles for the sequence involving the ring hydrogen, carbon, alkoxy oxygen and carbonyl carbon for both 1 and related compounds are eclipsed-to-gauche. Orientations and conformations of the acetate substituents were modeled with both mm3 molecular mechanics and various levels of quantum mechanics theory. Higher levels of theory and more complete models provided better prediction of the experimental observations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In this work we report preliminary results on the laser ignition of a jet diffusion flame with jet flow rates ranging from 35 (<f>Re</f>=1086) to 103 cm3/s (<f>Re</f>=3197). The laser spark energy of about 4 mJ was used for all the tests. The relative amounts of fuel and air concentrations at the laser focus have been estimated using a variant of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The ignition and the flame blow out times were measured using the time-resolved OH emission. Ignition times in the range from 3 to about 10 ms were observed depending on the experimental conditions and they increased towards the rich as well as the lean sides. The early time and late-time OH emissions indicate that chemical reactions during the initial stage of the blast wave expansion are not immediately responsible for the ignition. The ultimate fate of an ignition depends on the reactions at later times which determines whether the gas could undergo a transition from hot plasma to a propagating flame. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The potential of Hirsutella thompsonii Fisher and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschinkoff) as biological control agents of the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman was evaluated in the laboratory and in observation hives. In the laboratory, time required for 90% cumulative mortality of mites (<f>LT90</f>) was 4.16 (3.98–4.42) days for H. thompsonii and 5.85 (5.48–7.43) days for M. anisopliae at <f>1.1×103</f> conidia <f>mm−2</f>. At a temperature (<f>34±1 °C</f>) similar to that of the broodnest in a honey bee colony, Apis mellifera L., H. thompsonii [<f>LC90=9.90×101</f> (5.86–19.35) conidia <f>mm−2</f> at Day 7] and M. anisopliae [<f>LC90=7.13×103</f> (2.80–23.45) conidia <f>mm−2</f> at Day 7] both showed significant virulence against V. destructor. The applications of H. thompsonii to observation hives resulted in significant mortality of mites, and reduction of the number of mites per bee 21 and 42 days post-treatments. The treatments did not significantly affect the mite population in sealed brood. However, the fungus must have persisted because infected mites were still observed [<f>82.97±(0.6)%</f>] 42 days post-treatment. In addition, the fungus was found to sporulate on the host. A small percentage [<f>2.86±(0.2)%</f>] of dead mites found in the control hives also showed fungal infection, suggesting that adult bees drifted between hives and disseminated the fungus. H. thompsonii was harmless to the honey bees at the concentrations applied and did not have any deleterious effects on the fecundity of the queens. Microbial control with fungal pathogens provides promising new avenues for control of V. destructor and could be a useful component of an integrated pest management program for the honey bee industry.

AB  - The adult beetles Aphthona lacertosa and Aphthona nigriscutis, used as biocontrol agents for leafy spurge, had a complex mixture of hydrocarbons on their cuticular surface consisting of alkanes, methylalkanes, alkenes and alkadienes as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A trace amount of wax esters were present. In both species, the hydrocarbons were the major cuticular lipid class and the gas chromatographic profiles of the total hydrocarbons were similar. However, the profiles for the saturated hydrocarbon fraction were distinct for each species. Alkanes (n-alkanes and methyl-branched alkanes), alkenes and alkadienes comprised 26, 44 and 30%, respectively, for A. lacertosa, and 48, 26 and 26%, respectively, for A. nigriscutis, of the total hydrocarbons. The major methyl-branched hydrocarbons were 2-methylalkanes: 2-methyloctacosane and 2-methyltriacontane. The major monoene was hentriacontene and the major diene was tritriacontadiene. The species were unique in that a number of di- and trimethyl-branched alkanes were present in minor quantities in which the first methyl branch was on carbon 2 or 3. Examples of structures were 2,10-, 2,12-, 2,6-, 2,4- and 3,7-dimethylalkanes. 2,10,12-Trimethylalkanes and a 2,10,12,24-tetramethylalkane with one methylene between adjacent methyl branch points also were identified. The adjacent methyl branch points of the 2,4- and 2,10,12- and 2,10,12,24-methyl-branched alkanes appeared to cause additional fragmentations in the mass spectra. Dimethylalkanes with an odd number of carbons in the backbone of the molecule were identified as 2,23-dimethylnonacosane and 2,25-dimethylhentriacontane; their mass spectra also corresponded to mass spectra expected for a 2,6 branching sequence. However, a 2,6 branching sequence is not biosynthetically feasible because such a structure has a straight-chain tail with an odd number of carbon atoms beyond the last methyl branch point. The 2,23 and 2,25 branching sequences could be synthesized starting with a primer derived from the amino acid leucine which would account for both the even number of carbons between the branch points and an even number of carbons beyond the last methyl branch point.

AB  - The ascomycete Gibberella fujikuroi mating population C (MP-C) is well known for the production of gibberellins, but also produces many other secondary metabolites, including the red polyketide pigment bikaverin. Here, we used a differential display method to clone a polyketide synthase gene pks4 responsible for the first step of bikaverin biosynthesis. Sequence analysis indicated that pks4 encoded a 2009-amino acid polypeptide consisting of four functional domains: <f>β</f>-ketoacyl synthase (KS), acyltransferase (AT), acyl carrier (ACP), and thioesterase (TE). Disruption of pks4 resulted in the loss of both pks4 transcripts and bikaverin biosynthesis in G. fujikuroi cultures. Expression of pks4 is strongly repressed by high amounts of ammonium and basic pH. Unexpectedly, pks4 was overexpressed in mutants of the regulatory gene, areA, which is responsible for the activation of nitrogen assimilation genes. Three additional polyketide synthase genes have been cloned from G. fujikuroi MP-C by heterologous hybridization. The presence of these four PKS genes demonstrates the diversity of polyketide biosynthetic pathways in this fungus. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Ovoalbumin and its hydrolysate were developed as economical and environmental friendly plasticizers for the production of engineering ceramics from micrometric- and nanometric-sized powders. These proteins are feasible as replacements for commonly used petrochemicals that suffer from problems of toxicity, volatility, flammability, and high cost. A key advantage to protein-based additives is that they are available from inexpensive plant and animal sources (e.g. waste products such as slaughterhouse blood, by-products from meat and plant production). Aqueous alumina suspensions and high-density aqueous alumina pastes were blended with such proteins to form green bodies that were easily moldable and could be sintered to full density without cracking. The application of proteins provides thermally induced gelation of aqueous alumina suspensions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Blends of starch and various thermoplastic resins were extruded into foams using a twin-screw extruder. Resins included poly(vinyl alcohol), cellulose acetate (CA), and several biodegradable polyesters. Foams of corn starch with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(hydroxyester ether) (PHEE), or poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) had significantly lower densities and greater radial expansion ratios than the control starch. Blends with other polyesters and CA had densities and expansion ratios between those of the control starch and the other polyesters. Most of the polymer occupied spherical to elongated domains 1–10 μm long although PLA domains were much smaller. Surface polymer concentrations were larger than the bulk and correlated with foam expansion and resistance to fragmentation.Foams were also extruded using blends of PLA or PHEE with high amylose starch (70% amylose), wheat starch, and potato starch. Addition of either resin significantly reduced the foam density and increased expansion. At constant relative humidity, compressive strength was a function of foam density only and not the type of resin or starch in the blend. Addition of the resins reduced the water sensitivity of the foams and increased the time needed for complete dissolution. Blends with PLA, PHEE, or PHBV produced foams with densities comparable to commercial starch-based loose-fill foams. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A region of the Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona genome encoding DNA replication genes was characterized. This region, designated the ppa-ntrC locus, includes 19 open reading frames and a new insertion sequence, IS1502. Although this locus resembles replication origins from many eubacteria, it lacks several genes common to homologous loci. Some replication-related genes were previously located near rrf, and may have been moved to that location by homologous recombination between short sequence elements common to both loci. Further analysis showed that the ppa-ntrC region has undergone substantial change during spirochete evolution. Transcription analysis using RT-PCR revealed uniquely organized polycistronic mRNAs in the ppa-ntrC locus. The dnaN and recF intergenic region of serovar pomona was different from the homologous sites of 41 L. interrogans serovars by the presence of IS1502. The distribution of IS1502 throughout pathogenic Leptospira species varies. This result suggests that IS1502 may have been recently introduced into Leptospira. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Increased phytase activity for Aspergillus niger NRRL 3135 phytaseA (phyA) at intermediate pH levels (3.0–5.0) was achieved by site-directed mutagenesis of its gene at amino acid residue 300. A single mutation, K300E, resulted in an increase of the hydrolysis of phytic acid of 56% and 19% at pH 4.0 and 5.0, respectively, at 37 °C. This amino acid residue has previously been identified as part of the substrate specificity site for phyA and a comparison of the amino acid sequences of other cloned fungal phytases indicated a correlation between a charged residue at this position and high specific activity for phytic acid hydrolysis. The substitution at this residue by either another basic (R), uncharged (T), or acidic amino acid (D) did not yield a recombinant enzyme with the same favorable properties. Therefore, we conclude that this residue is not only important for the catalytic function of phyA, but also essential for imparting a favorable pH environment for catalysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A commercially available system for microbial identification by fatty acid analysis (Microbial Identification System (MIS), MIDI, Newark, DE, USA) requires a four-step sample derivatization procedure in screw-cap test tubes. By using glass tubes in a 96-well format with multichannel pipetting, the time required for sample preparation can be greatly reduced. The standard gas chromatography column, 25 m long by 0.20 mm ID, is replaced with a 10 m long by 0.10 mm ID column, reducing the gas chromatography run time to one third of the standard time. Either or both of these procedures can be easily implemented in any laboratory using the MIDI system, resulting in faster identifications and higher sample throughput. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An avian uncoupling protein (UCP) gene homolog was recently sequenced from skeletal muscle and was proposed to have a role in thermogenesis in chickens, ducks and hummingbirds. Since mammalian UCP 2 and UCP 3 also appear to have functions associated with energy and substrate partitioning and body weight regulation, the purpose of this study was to further characterize chicken UCP under conditions of nutritional stress and/or leptin administration. Male 3-week-old chickens were starved for 24 or 48 h and then half of each group was refed for an additional 24 h. In a follow-up experiment, chickens were fed or starved for 48 h with or without leptin administration. Feed deprivation increased UCP mRNA expression in skeletal muscle by up to 260% (P<0.001), and in a time-dependent manner in pectoralis muscle. Refeeding for 24 h normalized muscle UCP mRNA levels. Leptin administration had no effect on muscle UCP. Chicken muscle UCP mRNA levels were highly correlated with plasma triglyceride and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations, and with circulating levels of insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II. These results suggest that, as in mammals, avian UCP is up-regulated during feed deprivation and is highly correlated with increased fatty acid oxidation and flux into skeletal muscle.

AB  - The insect neuropeptides FMRF amide, leucomyosupressin (LMS) and neuropeptide analogues leucosulfakinins (FLSK and LSK II Ser (SO3H)), perisulfakinin (PSK), proleucosulfakinin (PLSK), 14A[φ1]WP-I, 542φ1, and 378A[5b]WP-I were assayed for their effects on the release of amylase and protease from the midgut tissue of larvae of Opisina arenosella. In the bioassay, empty midgut tubes ligated at both ends using hair were incubated with insect saline containing neuropeptides/analogues in a bioassay apparatus at 37 °C for 30 min. After incubation the contents of the midgut preparations were analyzed for amylase and protease activity. In control experiments, the midgut preparations were incubated in insect saline without neuropeptides. The results of the study reveal that for stimulating amylase release from midgut tissue, the peptides require an FXRF amide (X may be methionine or leucine) sequence at the C-terminal. The presence of HMRF amide at C-terminal of peptides may inhibit the release of amylase. Meanwhile, peptides with both FMRF and HMRF amide sequence at the C-terminal are found to be effective in stimulating protease release. The tetrapeptide segment at the C-terminal probably represent the active core of the neuropeptide. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Germ-line transformation of insects is now possible with four independent transposable element vector systems. Among these, the TTAA-insertion site specific transposon, piggyBac, discovered in Trichoplusia ni, is one of the most widely used. Transformations have been achieved in a wide variety of dipterans, lepidopterans, and a coleopteran, and for many species, piggyBac transposition was first tested by plasmid-based mobility assays in cell lines and embryos. All plasmid and genomic insertions are consistent with the duplication of a TTAA insertion site, and most germ-line integrations appear to be stable, though this is largely based on stable marker phenotypes. Of the vector systems presently in use for non-drosophilids, piggyBac is the only one not currently associated with a superfamily of transposable elements, though other elements exist that share its TTAA insertion site specificity. While functional piggyBac elements have only been isolated from T. ni, nearly identical elements have been discovered in a dipteran species, Bactrocera dorsalis, and closely related elements exist in another moth species, Spodoptera frugiperda. It appears that piggyBac has recently traversed insect orders by horizontal transmission, possibly mediated by a baculovirus or other viral system. This interspecies movement has important implications for the practical use of piggyBac to create transgenic insect strains for field release. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Equations for the four-point grid can be derived from data taken in the diamond array. The equations are obtained from analogous equations for the rectangle or by appeal to the shifting operator, <f>exp(x)F(x)=F(x+h)</f>. Curvature on the grid is estimated by interaction and quadratic coefficients. These coefficients compare favorably to the same coefficients as determined by Taylor expansion of the functions generating the data. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The chicken IL-15 gene was recently cloned and shown to encode a polypeptide with T cell growth factor activity similar to IL-2. To further characterize the chemical and biological properties of chicken IL-15, we generated a panel of monoclonal antibodies against bacterially expressed protein and characterized their binding specificities. All antibodies were reactive by ELISA with recombinant IL-15, but not IL-2, and identified a 15 kDa recombinant chicken IL-15 by Western blot analysis. Two antibodies inhibited IL-15-induced proliferation of splenic lymphoblast cells. These monoclonal antibodies will be useful for further structural and immunological studies of chicken IL-15.

AB  - Objectives of this study were to determine if the number of cells incubated in primary rumen epithelial cell cultures affects production rates of metabolites and to establish an ideal mode of data expression in order to standardize the reporting criteria for primary cell incubation. Epithelial tissue was excised from five <F>Suffolk×Dorset</F> cross-bred sheep and subjected to serial tryptic digestion to isolate cells. Isolated cells were incubated for 90 min in 25 mM propionate and 10 mM butyrate at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 40 million cells per flask (total <F>volume=3</F> ml). Production of acetoacetate (ACAC), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), lactate (LAC) and pyruvate (PYR) were measured. Data were expressed as either cell number, cell dry matter (DM) or cell crude protein (CP) alone or per epithelial wet tissue weight, body weight (BW) or metabolic BW to generate 12 different forms of data expression. Coefficients of variation (CVs) were calculated for all 12 modes of expression. Expressing data per cell number resulted in the lowest variation (<F>P<0.01</F>) and data adjusted for metabolic BW had less variation than BW. ACAC concentrations were largest at 0.5 million cells per flask (<F>P<0.05</F>) and there were no differences between 1, 5, 10 and 20, and only 40 differed from 0.5 and 5 million cells per flask. Concentrations of BHBA were largest at 1 and 5 million cells per flask, but were different (<F>P<0.05</F>) only from 20 and 40 million cells per flask. LAC and PYR concentrations were largest at 1 million cells per flask, but no significant differences were found. Ratios of BHBA:ACAC were below one for the 0.5 million cells per flask indicating low mitochondrial redox potentials (<F>P<0.05</F>). A suggested range of rumen epithelial cells to include in incubations is 5–20 million cells per flask. This range will minimize the potential for altered metabolite production caused by incubating large cell quantities as well as the experimental error associated with using low cell numbers. When rumen tissue is taken from animals of the same species, size and stage of development, data adjusted by cell number is preferred. However, it is recommended that metabolic BW, cell CP and cell DM be included to facilitate future comparison between laboratories and species. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Low-cost extraction of maize protein using ethanol at the front end of a dry grind ethanol plant has been discussed in recent articles. Thorough recovery of (alcoholic) extract from the extracted maize is essential to make the process economical and to prevent the ethanol from interfering with liquefaction enzymes or fermentation organisms where the solid residues are to be subsequently reduced to glucose and finally fermented to ethanol. Because the particles will be converted in water it is unnecessary to dry them, if a (miscible) liquid/liquid miscible displacement method can be used. Therefore, three methods of displacing extract liquid from the extracted corn particles were tried using (1) packed bed displacement, (2) centrifugation with rinsing, and (3) gravitational settling into water. Displacing extract (liquid) from a stationary bed of milled corn extract was too slow to be practical. This finding should discourage the use of similar techniques based on stationary layers of extracted corn. Continuous centrifugation, with rinsing by fresh ethanol solution, was effective at recovering protein in the extract with rinse rates comparable to extract feed rates. Settling the extracted corn into water appears to be the most feasible method of separation, requiring low extract dilution and inexpensive equipment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In this paper, we discuss the importance of the Principle of Material Frame-Indifference, sometimes referred to as Objectivity, in multiphase flows. We first give a brief account of the formulation of a two-phase mixture and then indicate where and how this principle should be utilized. We will then give a brief review of the meaning of this principle in continuum mechanics and how it has been used in various fields of physics. We also give examples of frame-indifferent and frame-dependent constitutive relations which have been used in multiphase flow studies. The importance of lift forces is also discussed. Finally, we derive a general constitutive relation which is frame-invariant and general enough to be used in many applications. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The high indigenous soil organic carbon content, root biomass, and microbial populations in prairie soils provide a source of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is important in the carbon budget of grasslands. Soil chambers were used to measure soil CO2 flux from a grazed mixed-grass prairie (GP), nongrazed mixed-grass prairie (NGP), and grazed western wheatgrass (WWG) [Pascopyrum smithii (Rybd) Lo¨ve] grasslands in the Northern Great Plains, USA. Objectives were to quantify soil CO2 fluxes for each site and to determine the contribution of soil temperature, soil water content, and air temperature to soil CO2 flux. Soil CO2 fluxes were measured on each site about every 21 d at 13:00 h during the 25 April–27 October growing period from 1996 to 2000 for NGP and GP and from 1996 to 1998 for WWG. Dormant period fluxes were measured on the GP from 28 October to 26 April from 1999 to 2001. In addition, five sequential daytime measurements were made on each site for 3 days each year. Fluxes were low in the spring and autumn and peaked concurrent with biomass in late June to mid-July. Maximum fluxes for these dissimilar managed grasslands averaged 5.8 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for NGP, 6.9 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for GP, and 6.1 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for WWG. Soil fluxes measured during the dormant period decreased to near zero during the months of December, January, and February and then increased rapidly in March as soil temperatures increased. Daily soil flux during the growing period averaged 3.5 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for NGP, 4.3 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for GP, and 4.0 g CO2-C m−2 d−1 for WWG. Dormant period fluxes for the GP averaged 0.5 g CO2-C m−2 d−1. Regression analysis indicated that soil temperature accounted for 65%, soil water content 5%, and air temperature 3% of flux variability. Growing period soil CO2 flux over years averaged 728 g CO2-C m−2 and dormant period CO2 flux averaged 86 g CO2-C m−2. A predictive relationship describing the response of soil CO2 flux to changes in soil temperature was developed using the minimum, maximum, and optimum soil temperatures for soil CO2 flux. The model provides an estimate of the important dormant period soil flux component in annual ecosystem carbon budgets. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The biology of the cerambycid beetle, Apagomerella versicolor (Boheman), a candidate for biocontrol of cocklebur, Xanthium strumarium L., in the US, was studied in Argentina where it attacks X. strumarium cavanillesii Love and Dansereau. A. versicolor is univoltine and adults appear in the field in early spring. In the laboratory, the adults lived an average of 18.5 days. Each female laid an average of 38 eggs, one egg per oviposition. The incubation period for the eggs lasted 10 days at <f>25 °</f>C and 80% RH. The larval stage had seven instars. Eggs were laid in the stems and larvae fed boring their way toward the root. At the beginning of fall, larvae girdled the stem of the mature plant near the crown, causing the dried aerial part of the plant to fall over. The last instar entered diapause and pupated within the roots in dead and dry plants until spring. Exposure of larvae to temperatures lower than <f>12 °</f>C for at least 8 days ended diapause. All larvae survived continuous exposure to <f>−8 °</f>C for 3 days, and immersion of larvae in tap water for 20 days did not affect their survival. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, three parasitoids were found attacking the larvae; a braconid, Nealiolus n. sp., parasitized 61.5% of the larvae in 1988. Attack by A. versicolor reduced fruit production in X. s. cavanillesii by 66%, and killed young plants. A. versicolor has some attributes of a biocontrol agent of Xanthium spp. These attributes, along with cold tolerance, immersion tolerance, broad habitat distribution from tropical forest to desert, suggest that it would be an effective biocontrol agent of Xanthium spp. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Enzyme-retting of flax was accomplished via individual treatment with four polygalacturonase (PGase) containing solutions of various fungal sources and the resulting fibers were characterized. The retting solutions were equilibrated to contain 2.19 U of PGase activity as determined via a dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) reducing sugar assay. As compared with the buffer control, treatment with the various enzyme solutions increased the yield of fine fibers. Treatment with Aspergillus niger PGase resulted in a 62% increase in fine fiber yield as compared with the buffer control and fiber strength did not statistically differ (P≤0.05) between these treatments. Retting via PGases of Rhizopus origin produced the weakest fibers. These results illustrate that the crude PGases differ in their ability to ret flax and that under the defined experimental conditions the A. niger PGase is a better retting agent. Light microscopy demonstrated the ability of all enzymes to separate fiber from shive and epidermal tissues. Enzyme profiles of the solutions were determined via viscometric assays. Pectinolytic activity was the predominant activity of all enzymes tested.

AB  - This paper presents the test results and life modeling of special calendar- and cycle-life tests conducted on 18650-size generation 1 (Gen 1) lithium-ion battery cells (nominal capacity of 0.9 Ah; 3.0–4.1 V rating) developed to establish a baseline chemistry and performance for the Department of Energy sponsored advanced technology development (ATD) program. Electrical performance testing was conducted at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL).As part of the electrical performance testing, a new calendar-life test protocol was used. The test consisted of a once per day discharge and charge pulse designed to have minimal impact on the cell yet establish its performance over a period of time such that the calendar-life of the cell could be determined. The calendar-life test matrix included two states-of-charge (SOCs) (i.e. 60 and 80%) and four test temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70 °C). Discharge and regen resistances were calculated from the test data. Results indicate that both the discharge and regen resistances increased non-linearly as a function of the test time. The magnitude of the resistances depended on the temperature and SOC at which the test was conducted. Both resistances had a non-linear increase with respect to time at test temperature. The discharge resistances are greater than the regen resistances at all of the test temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. For both the discharge and regen resistances, generally the higher the test temperature, the lower the resistance.The measured resistances were then used to develop an empirical model that was used to predict the calendar-life of the cells. This model accounted for the time, temperature and SOC of the batteries during the calendar-life test. The functional form of the model is given by: R<F>(t,T,SOC)=A</F>(T, SOC)F<F>(t)+B</F>(T, SOC), where t is the time at test temperature, T the test temperature and SOC the SOC of the cell at the start of the test. A(T, SOC) and B(T, SOC) are assumed to be functions of the temperature and SOC; F is assumed to only be a function of the time at test temperature. Using curve-fitting techniques for a number of time-dependent functions, it was found that both the discharge and regen resistances were best correlated with F(t) having a square-root of test time dependence. These results led to the relationship for the discharge and regen resistances: R<F>(t,T,SOC)=A</F>(T, SOC)<F>t1/2+B</F>(T, SOC). The square-root of time dependence can be accounted for by either a one-dimensional diffusion type of mechanism, presumably of the lithium-ions or by a parabolic growth mechanism for the growth of a thin-film solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on the anode and/or cathode. The temperature dependence of the resistance was then investigated using various model fits to the functions A(T, SOC) and B(T, SOC). The results of this exercise lead to a functional form for the temperature dependence of the fitting functions having an Arrhenius-like form: A<F>(T,SOC)=a</F>(SOC){exp[b(SOC)/T]} and B<F>(T,SOC)=c</F>(SOC){exp[d(SOC)/T]}, where a and c are constants, and b and d are related to activation energy (Eb and Ed) by using the gas constant (R) such that <F>b=Eb</F>/R and <F>d=Ed</F>/R. The functional form, therefore, for the discharge and regen resistances, including the SOC, is then: R<F>(t,T,SOC)=a</F>(SOC){exp[b(SOC)/T]}<F>t1/2+c</F>(SOC){exp[d(SOC)/T]}. The a, b, c and d parameters are explicitly shown as being functions of the SOC. However, due to the lack of testing at SOC values other than 60 and 80% SOC, the exact form of the SOC dependence could not be determined from the experimental data. The values of a, b, c and d were determined, thus permitting the function R(t, T, SOC) to be used to correlate the discharge and regen data and to predict what the resistances would be at different test times and temperatures.This paper also presents, discusses and models the results of a special cycle-life test conducted for a period of time at specified temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. This test, consisting of specified discharge and charge protocols, was designed to establish the cycle-life performance of the cells over a time interval such that their cycle-life could be determined. The cycle-life test was conducted at 60% SOC, with SOC swings of Δ3, Δ6 and Δ9%. During the cycle-life test, the discharge and regen resistances were determined after every 100 test cycles. The results of the cycle-life testing indicate that both the discharge and regen resistances increased non-linearly as a function of the test time at each Δ% SOC test. The magnitude of the resistances and the rate at which they changed depended on the temperature and Δ% SOC at which the test was conducted. Both resistances had a non-linear increase with respect to time at test temperature, i.e. as the number of test cycles increased the discharge and regen resistances increased also. For a given Δ% SOC test, the discharge resistances are greater than the regen resistances at all of the test temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. For both the discharge and regen resistances, generally the higher the test temperature, the lower the resistance. At each of the four test temperatures, the magnitude of the discharge and regen resistances was generally in the following order: Δ3% <F>SOC>Δ</F>9% <F>SOC>Δ</F>6% SOC, but the ordering was dependent on test time.A model was also developed to account for the time, temperature, SOC and Δ% SOC of the batteries during the cycle-life test. The functional form of the model is given by R<F>(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=A</F>(T, SOC, Δ% SOC)F<F>(t)+B</F>(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) where t is the time at test temperature, T the test temperature, SOC the SOC of the cell at the start and end of the test and Δ% SOC the SOC swing during the test. A(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) and B(T, SOC, Δ% SOC) are assumed to be functions of the test temperature, SOC and Δ% SOC swing. F(t) is assumed to only be a function of the test time at test temperature. Using curve-fitting techniques for a number of time-dependent functions, it was found that both the discharge and regen resistances were best correlated by a square-root of test time dependence. These results led to the relationship for the discharge and regen resistances having the form R<F>(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=A</F>(T, SOC, Δ% SOC)<F>t1/2+B</F>(T, SOC, Δ% SOC). This model is essentially the same as used to analyze the calendar-life test data. The temperature dependence of the resistance was then investigated using various model fits to the functions A(T) and B(T). The results of this exercise lead to a functional form for the functions having again an Arrhenius-like form: A<F>(T)=a</F>[exp(b/T)] and B<F>(T)=c</F>[exp(d/T)] where a and c are constants, and b and d are related to activation energies. The functional form, therefore, for the discharge and regen resistances including the SOC and Δ% SOC is R<F>(t,T,SOC,Δ% SOC)=a</F>(SOC, Δ% SOC){exp[b(SOC, Δ% SOC)/T]}<F>t1/2+c</F>(SOC, Δ% SOC){exp[d(SOC, Δ% SOC)/T]}. The a, b, c and d parameters are explicitly shown as being functions of the SOC and the Δ% SOC. However, due to the lack of testing at SOC values other than 60% SOC, the exact form of the SOC dependence could not be determined from the experimental data. In addition, no model was found that consistently correlated the observed resistance changes with the Δ% SOC of the tests. Eliminating the SOC and Δ% SOC from the resistance function, the function R(t, T) was then used to correlate the discharge and regen resistances data. This model also allows the prediction of what the resistances would be at different test times at a particular Δ% SOC test condition and temperature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Terminology for common names for the Tribe Cyathostominea (cyathostomins), and disease caused by the nematodes (cyathostominosis), were recommended to replace the previously used names cyathostomes and cyathostomosis, which are ambiguous, inaccurate or synonymous, by the Third Internal Workshop on the Systematics of Cyathostominea of Horses, held in Stresa, Italy, 28 August 2001. The progress by this international working group at three workshops is reviewed briefly and a list of publications is provided. Included are an annotated checklist by genus and species of 93 species level names and the recognition of 52 species, redescriptions of seven species, and the description of one new species. Upon petition by workshop participants, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature placed Cyathostomum tetracanthum Mehlis, 1831 on the “Official List of Specific Names in Zoology”, ending more than a century of controversy over the names of cyathostomins. Some progress is described in molecular and morphological systematics and in the development of diagnostic molecular probes. A revised identification key is being prepared to the 52 species of the Tribe Cyathostominea. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - A clone representing a fragment of the dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) gene from cranberry was isolated from a genomic DNA library using the tomato DFR gene as a probe. Sequence analysis of the clone confirmed homology to published DFR gene sequences. 3′ and 5′ RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) reactions from cranberry leaf total RNA were used to obtain the entire cDNA sequence. The sequence information was used to amplify a full-length clone by RT-PCR. Sequencing analysis to confirm the identity of the full-length DFR cDNA identified a putative second allele. Segregation analysis suggested that the two sequences are not allelic, but multi-locus. Nucleotide sequence homology of the full-length clones was highest to published DFR sequence from Camellia sinensis (about 80% identity) followed by Forsythia x intermedia, Antirrhinum majus, Rosa hybrida and Petunia hybrida. When expressed using the CaMV 35S promoter, the corolla of flowers of transgenic tobacco plants were much darker pink than the controls. Some flower parts not normally highly pigmented, such as the filaments, were also dark pink. These data confirm the identity and function of the cranberry clones and further suggest that overexpression of the cranberry DFR could be used to increase anthocyanin production in transgenic plants.

T1  - The role of Na-montmorillonite in the evolution of copper, nickel, and vanadyl geoporphyrins during diagenesis

AB  - Sorption of a series of toluene-solvated porphyrins with differing structural characteristics and metallic centers [i.e. free-base, Cu(II), Ni(II) and VO(II)] onto Na-montmorillonite was measured to determine how this clay mineral might influence porphyrin pathways during diagenesis. In most instances, adsorption was adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The adsorption results were compared in two ways: (1) by the metallating ion, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on Buchler stability indices, and (2) by the structural type, where predicted trends of the relative degree of adsorption are based on the number and type of substituent groups and their corresponding steric and functional characteristics. The implications of macrocycle shape (planar, ruffle, and wave) are also discussed. In general, sorption affinity based on metallating ion followed the order: VO(II)&ap;Ni(II)<Cu(II)<<Free-base. In terms of functional groups, sorption affinity generally followed the order: phenyl (meso)<ethyl<methyl<ester. Ruffled shapes generally sorb less than planar shapes. These sorption trends are used to explain how clay minerals might influence the selective sorption and decomposition of porphyrins in oil shales; how clay minerals may contribute to or be responsible for the decreasing Ni(II)/VO(II) ratios observed in the fossil record; and why clay minerals probably do not play a major role in the decreasing deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrin/etioporphyrin I (DPEP/ETIO) ratio observed in the maturing sedimentary environment.

AB  - A rapid and sensitive assay was developed for the detection and identification of viroids by standard or multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-probe capture hybridization (RT-PCR-ELISA). The assay was applied successfully for the detection and identification of the following six viroid species from infected tissues: Potato spindle tuber viroid (Pospiviroid), Peach latent mosaic viroid (Pelamoviroid), Apple scar skin viroid (Apscaviroid), Apple dimple fruit viroid (Apscaviroid), Pear blister canker viroid (Apscaviroid), and Hop stunt viroid (Hostuviroid). Total RNA was obtained from infected tissue by the Qiagen RNeasy kit and, then viroid cDNA was synthesized using viroid specific complementary DNA primer. To identify and differentiate the amplicons of the six viroids, each amplicon was digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled during the amplification process, and then detected by a colorimetric system using a biotinylated cDNA capture probe specific for each viroid. The results revealed that each capture probe hybridized only to its complementary DIG-labelled amplicon. Thus the six viroids can be detected and differentiated in a multiplex RT-PCR-ELISA assay. In the multiplex assay, cDNAs of six viroids were synthesized simultaneously in one tube, DIG-labelled during amplification, then a portion of the DIG-labelled amplified products was hybridized with selected capture probe. All the six viroid capture probes hybridized to their respective complementary DIG-labelled RT-PCR-amplified product. These findings are important for viroid detection and identification for studying host-viroid interactions and for management and control viroid diseases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A model for predicting relative growth of C. perfringens from spores during cooling of cured chicken is derived using a nonlinear mixed effects analysis of the data. This statistical procedure has not been used in the predictive microbiology literature that has been written for microbiologists. However, recently software systems have been including this statistical procedure. The primary growth curves, based on the stages of cell development, identify two parameters: (1) germination, outgrowth, and lag (GOL) time, or lag phase time; and (2) exponential growth rate, egr. The mixed effects model does not consider GOL and egr as constants, but as random variables that would, in all likelihood, differ for different cooling events with the same temperature. As such, it is estimated that the egr, for a given temperature, has a CV of approximately 19%. The model obtained by the mixed effects model is compared to the one obtained by the more traditional two-stage approach. The estimated parameters from the derived models are virtually the same. The model predicts, for example, a geometric mean relative growth of about 9·4 with an upper 95% confidence limit of 21·3 when cooling the product from 51°C to 12°C in 8 h, assuming log linear decline in temperature with time. C. perfringens growth from spores was not observed at a temperature of 12°C for up to 3 weeks. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - In the present study, two yeast antagonists, Cryptococcus laurentii (strain 317) and Candida ciferrii (strain 283) isolated from the surface of healthy apples, controlled blue mold of apple caused by Penicillium expansum. Both antagonists reduced the incidence of blue mold by 80% at 25 °C. At 5 °C C. ciferrii (strain 283) maintained the efficacy of disease control, but C. laurentii (strain 317) only reduced disease incidence by 50%. Moreover C. ciferrii (strain 283) exhibited significant protection at lower concentrations than C. laurentii (strain 317). The population of both strains increased in wounds of apples at 25 and 5 °C, and both strains maintained viable over a period of 35 days at 5 °C. Nutrient competition into wounds appeared to be the principal mode of action of these antagonists. Nitrogen rather than carbon appeared to be the limiting factor to both the antagonists and the pathogen. Further research will explore commercial potential of these antagonists and the possibility of enhancing biocontrol efficacy by using mixtures of antagonists or addtives such as calcium chloride or deoxyglucose.

AB  - Stimulation of lymphocyte proliferation using mitogens or specific antigens is a method that is used frequently to assess immune responsiveness. While useful, lymphocyte blastogenesis, or <F>[3H]</F>-thymidine incorporation, provides little information regarding the response of specific subsets to the stimulant. Here, we report that the fluorescent cell membrane probe, PKH2, is a useful tool for measuring the proliferation of porcine lymphocyte subpopulations by utilizing multicolor flow cytometry. For this study, mitogen-induced proliferation of porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured using <F>[3H]</F>-thymidine incorporation as well as a flow cytometric-based proliferation assay. From the <F>[3H]</F>-thymidine incorporation data alone, it was observed that PBMC stimulated with either concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or pokeweed mitogen (PWM) demonstrated greater proliferation on day 3 than on day 5 of culture. Using the PKH dye and flow cytometric analysis, the responsiveness of specific lymphocyte subsets to mitogen stimulation was detected. The predominant subsets of porcine lymphocytes responding to Con A or PHA stimulation were <F>CD4+CD8+</F>, <F>CD4−CD8αhi</F>, <F>CD4−CD8αlo</F> and γδ TCR+ cells. PWM stimulation induced responses by <F>CD4+CD8+</F>, <F>CD4CD8αhi</F> but not by <F>CD4−CD8αlo</F> or γδ TCR+ cells. Con A stimulation resulted in a sustained proliferation of CD8αhi cells over the 5-day period while PHA stimulation resulted in proliferation that peaked within the first 3 days. Little or no proliferative responses were detected within the IgM+ population (e.g. B cells). This is the first study to define the contribution of individual lymphocyte subsets to mitogen-induced proliferation of porcine PBMCs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Single-use packaging articles made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) are currently used to serve and pack a variety of food and non-food products. Recently, there have been efforts to develop and commercialize materials from renewable resources such as starch to replace EPS. Starch based foams are, however, brittle and sensitive to water, and thus require expensive coating steps when exposure to cold or hot liquids is required. In this report, various modified starches and additives were tested in baked foam plate formulations to improve strength and water resistance properties in lieu of coating. Foam plates made from chemically modified starches had shorter baking times, lighter weights and higher elongations at break than unmodified starch. Plates made from genetically modified (waxy) starches and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) had elongations to break at low humidities, which were much higher than those made from normal starches and PVOH. Addition of softwood fibers increased starch foam plate strengths at low and high humidities. Addition of monostearyl citrate to starch batter formulations gave the best improvement in water resistance among the compounds tested. Baked foams made from potato amylopectin, PVOH, aspen fiber and monostearyl citrate appeared to have adequate flexibility and water resistance to function as clamshell-type hot sandwich containers.

AB  - Natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1) affects the ability of macrophages to kill pathogens. We cloned Nramp cDNA of channel catfish to identify potential molecular markers for disease resistance. Three different Nramp transcripts were identified: NrampCa-2912 nucleotides (nt), NrampCb-3245 nt, and NrampCc-3721 nt. At the 5′ end, the transcripts have a common 2263 nt sequence containing the open reading frame. The differences are in the 3′ untranslated region resulting from alternative splicing and polyadenylation. NrampCc is the predominant form expressed. The deduced 550 amino acid sequence of the channel catfish Nramp (NrampC) has high homology to Nramp from other vertebrates and a predicted conserved structure. The NrampC contains the 12 transmembrane domains, and the consensus transport motif. Post-transcriptional processing is also conserved. Phylogenetic analysis grouped NrampC with other fish Nramps and closer to Nramp2 than to Nramp1 of mammals. However, the catfish transcript does not contain an iron-responsive regulatory-protein binding site, a characteristic of Nramp2, and, like Nramp1, NrampC expression is induced in macrophage-rich tissues after exposure to lipopolysaccharide and in a macrophage cell line when stimulated. Thus NrampC is structurally closer to mammalian Nramp2 but may function similar to Nramp1. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Restriction fragment length polymorphism of rRNA operons (RFLP) and 16S–23S rRNA intergenic region (ISR) sequences of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis, B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii, and B. atrophaeus were compared. ISR sequences of the B. subtilis subspecies were extremely similar (W23 versus 168 rrn H, J, G,W; 96.8%; rrn D, E; 98.4%; rrnB; 97.9%) and, therefore, not useful for their differentiation. However, RFLP of rRNA operons of the B. subtilis subspecies were distinct in terms of numbers and organization within the genome (e.g. the 168 sub-group generally contained 8.3- and 8.0-kb fragments absent in the W23 sub-group). The more distantly related B. atrophaeus was distinct from both B. subtilis subspecies in terms of ISR sequence and rRNA operon number and organization. RFLP of rRNA operons discriminates the two sub-groups of Bacillus subtilis that are indistinguishable by ISR sequence. However, ISR sequence defines the relatedness of B. subtilis to other species (e.g. B. atrophaeus) within the genus Bacillus. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Yersinia enterocolitica, a food-borne pathogen, can be eliminated from meat using ionizing radiation. Commercial facilities may irradiate meat at refrigeration or frozen temperature, or packed in dry ice if the facility does not have refrigeration capabilities. The effect of temperature on the radiation resistance of Y. enterocolitica that contained the 70 kb large virulence plasmid was determined. A mixture of four Y. enterocolitica strains was inoculated into ground pork, which was then vacuum-packed, equilibrated to refrigeration or sub-freezing temperatures, and irradiated to doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy. The D10 value, the radiation dose required to reduce the number of viable Y. enterocolitica by 90%, increased as product temperature decreased with values of 0.19, 0.19, 0.21, 0.40, 0.40. 0.38, and 0.55 kGy being obtained at +5, 0, −5, −10. −15, −20 and −76 °C, respectively. Meat product temperature should be considered when selecting a radiation dose required for elimination of Y. enterocolitica. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The green scale, Coccus viridis (Green), can be controlled effectively by irradiation at a minimum absorbed dose of 250 Gy. Reproductive capacity of irradiated gravid adults was reduced greatly and any resulting offspring were not able to develop beyond the crawler stage. Development of nymphs to the adult stage was not arrested completely nor was development of immature stages eliminated, but all survivors were sterile. Generally, higher doses of irradiation (≥400 Gy) caused faster kill of all life stages than lower doses (250 Gy). At 250 Gy, there was prolonged survival of green scale, with 8.8–11.4% of nymphs and up to 8.8% of crawlers alive 3 months after irradiation; 100% mortality of the most resistant adult stage took longer than 20 weeks post-treatment. An absorbed dose of 500, 750 or 1000 Gy caused 100% mortality in all stages of the green scale by 7, 6, and 3 weeks post-treatment, respectively. Adults appeared to be more resistant to treatments ≥500 Gy. Irradiation doses ≥500 Gy killed crawlers by 3–5 weeks post-treatment and rendered nymphs and adult green scale sterile until their eventual death. When irradiated at 250 Gy, survival of non-infested gardenia plants and green scale-infested gardenia and coffee plants were reduced by 69, 56, and 18%, respectively, as compared with non-irradiated plants. Nonreversible, sublethal phytotoxicity included tip browning of young leaves, absence of new leaf growth in gardenia plants, failure to form new leaves in coffee plants, and eventual plant death. While irradiation at 250 Gy is sufficient to provide quarantine security for crops that are hosts of green scale, product quality will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis since certain commodities, such as gardenia seedlings, have sustained phytotoxic effects.

AB  - The histological distribution of gonadotrophs containing either LH or FSH, but not both gonadotropins, has been demonstrated before in the juvenile and adult chicken throughout the caudal and cephalic anterior pituitary lobes. In the present investigation, the distribution of FSH- and/or LH-containing gonadotrophs was further investigated in the chicken embryo by use of the same homologous antibodies as used in our earlier study. Fluorescent dual-labeling immunohistochemistry revealed that during embryogenesis LH and FSH reside exclusively in separate gonadotrophs, as has been described before in the post hatch bird. LH-immunoreactive cells were observed for the first time at day 9 of embryogenesis. This is as much as 4 days earlier than the FSH-immunoreactive cells, which appeared at day 13 of embryogenesis. Our results confirm that FSH- and LH-containing gonadotrophs are distributed throughout both lobes of the anterior pituitary. No conspicuous differences were observed between the sexes in any of the aspects investigated. The described situation is unique in that it seems to imply the existence of separate cell lineages for FSH- and LH-producing cells, as opposed to the single gonadotrope lineage described in all other species studied so far, with the exception of bovine. Our data indeed raise the question as to which signaling and/or transcription factors may cause the unique dichotomy observed in the chicken gonadotrophs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Endogenous antimicrobial peptide activity in vivo has rarely been demonstrated. To assess this, Mannheimia haemolytica (log10 10.20 cfu) was deposited into the lungs of adult sheep, which were killed at 0, 5, 10 and 20 min for necropsy. At 0 min, M. haemolytica appeared normal and monoclonal antibody to antimicrobial anionic peptide (AP) and Protein A-colloidal gold identified AP already bound to the bacterial surface. At 5–20 min, many organisms were distorted with flocculated intracellular constituents characteristic of AP cellular damage indicating that AP can bind to and presumably help inactivate organisms in vivo.

AB  - Downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. and Curt.) Rostov.) is an important disease in most cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) production areas worldwide. A set of cucumber cultivars and breeding lines (hereafter referred to collectively as cultigens) resistant to downy mildew in particular regions of the world were tested for resistance in geographical regions thought to differ in pathogen virulence or race (US, Poland, China, and India). Cucumber cultigens used in the study were developed in the US, Poland or China, and differed in their resistance to downy mildew. These cultigens were evaluated against local isolates of P. cubensis under field conditions (North Carolina and India) or greenhouse conditions (South Carolina and Poland). Significant differences were observed among cultigens for resistance to P. cubensis at all locations. Individual cultigens differed in their resistance to the pathogen at different geographic locations, providing evidence that the different local isolates represented different races of the pathogen. Cultigens from PR China that were resistant to downy mildew in that country were also resistant in India. However, those same cultigens were intermediate in resistance in the US and Poland. Cultigens from the US and Poland that were resistant in those countries were intermediate in resistance in India. The most resistant cultigens over all locations were ‘Nongchen #4’ (PR China) and M 21 (NC State University). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We empirically correlated the rheology of aqueous suspensions of submicron alumina powder with the concentration, structure, and molecular weight of various polysaccharides that were added to these suspensions. We focus on the question of how to increase the alumina concentration to the highest level possible and still maintain a sufficient degree of plasticity to enable shape forming by plastic molding. We showed that, without polysaccharide, 30 vol.% alumina suspensions are thixotropic. These suspensions exhibited highly fluid, Bingham-plastic-like behavior upon the addition of maltodextrins and dextrans having low molecular weight. Branching of polysaccharide additives is not beneficial for the rheology of 30 vol.% alumina suspensions and 52-vol.%-alumina-filter-cakes. We observed that maltodextrins and potato dextrin (6.6 kDa) enabled filtration of plastic masses of alumina that were easily ram pressed. These materials dried into a strong, crack-free condition that could be handled without breaking. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We empirically correlated the rheology of aqueous suspensions of ultrafine (40 nm diameter) γ-alumina powder with the concentration and structure of the following sugars and sugar alcohols: maltodextrin, sorbitol, maltitol, D-fructose, D-glucose and sucrose. It is shown that several monosaccharides, especially pentoses and sugar alcohols, significantly improve fluidity of aqueous suspensions and high-density pastes of alumina powder. In hexoses, the orientation of the 4-hydroxyl group plays a key role in controlling alumina-suspension rheology. The green strength and the sintering densification of slip cast alumina pellets were not affected by the addition of 5 wt.% of either arabinose, xylose, mannitol, or maltitol.

AB  - Malonaldehyde (MA) in gamma-irradiated apple juice was measured using a GC–MS method and in comparison to the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay. The profiles of MA content as a function of radiation dose were similar using both methods, however, MA content was higher when measured with the TBA assay compared to the GC–MS method. The overestimation of MA using the TBA assay increased as the amount of MA decreased. Use of the GC–MS method demonstrated MA content in irradiated juice declined rapidly during storage at 5 °C. MA content appeared to decrease much less when the TBA assay was used. The GC–MS method also allowed measurement of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in addition to MA. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Thyroid status is compromised in a variety of acute and chronic infections. Conversion of thyroxine (T4) into the metabolically active hormone, triiodothyronine (T3), is catalyzed by 5′-deiodinase (5′D) mainly in extrathyroidal tissues. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of protozoan parasitic infection (Sarcocystis cruzi) on hepatic 5′D (type I) activity and plasma concentrations of T3 and T4 in placebo- or bovine GH (bGH)-injected calves. Holstein bull calves (<F>127.5±2.0</F> kg BW) were assigned to control (C, ad libitum fed), infected (I, 250,000 S. cruzi sporocysts per os, ad libitum fed), and pair-fed (PF, non-infected, fed to intake of I treatment) groups placebo-injected, and three similar groups injected daily with pituitary-derived bGH (USDA-B-1, 0.1 mg/kg, i.m.) designated as CGH, IGH and PFGH. GH injections were initiated on day 20 post-infection (PI), 3–4 days prior to the onset of clinical signs of the acute phase response (APR), and were continued to day 56 PI at which time calves were euthanized for liver collection. Blood samples were collected on day 0, 28, and 55 PI. Alterations in nutritional intake did not affect type I 5′D in liver. Treatment with bGH increased (<F>P<0.05</F>) 5′D activity in C (24.6%) and PF (25.5%) but not in I calves. Compared to PF calves, infection with S. cruzi reduced 5′D activity 25% (<F>P<0.05</F>) and 47.8% (<F>P<0.01</F>) in placebo- and bGH-injected calves, respectively. Neither nutrition nor bGH treatment significantly affected plasma concentrations of T4 and T3 on day 28 and 55 PI. However, plasma thyroid hormones were reduced by infection. On day 28 PI, the average plasma concentrations of T3 and T4 were reduced in infected calves (I and IGH) 36.4% (<F>P<0.01</F>) and 29.4% (<F>P<0.05</F>), respectively, compared to pair-fed calves (PF and PFGH). On day 55 PI, plasma T3 still remained lower (23.7%, <F>P<0.01</F> versus PF) in infected calves while plasma T4 returned to control values. The data suggest that parasitic infection in growing calves inhibits both thyroidal secretion and extrathyroidal T4 to T3 conversion during the APR. After recovery from the APR, thyroidal secretion returns to normal but basal and bGH-stimulated generation of T3 in liver remains impaired. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Cotton has become a dominant crop in the southeastern USA, but only about 12% of the 620,000 ha of cotton (Gossipium hirsutum L.) in Georgia, for example, is under conservation tillage. Georgia and bordering states produce about 42% of the poultry in the United States and in Georgia alone, this results in over 1.6 million Mg of poultry litter (PL) annually. The fertilizer value of PL is well-recognized but much of it is applied to pastures and only a small percentage is applied to crop land. Limited information is available on the response of cotton to PL as fertilizer in conservation tillage systems in the Southeast. The performance of cotton under two tillage and two fertilizer treatments was evaluated from 1996 to 1999 to highlight management options for increased adoption of conservation tillage and PL use. Cotton, followed by a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop, was grown under a factorial arrangement of tillage (no-till (NT) vs conventional tillage (CT)) and fertilizer (ammonium nitrate, as conventional fertilizer (CF) vs PL) on a Cecil sandy loam (clayey, kaolinitic thermic Typic Kanhapludult; Chromi-Alumic Acrisol) near Watkinsville, Georgia. Average lint yield from 1996 to 1999 was in the sequence <F>no-till poultry litter (NTPL)>no-till conventional fertilizer (NTCF)>conventional tillage poultry litter (CTPL)>conventional tillage and fertilizer (CTCF)</F>. Differences were significant at <F>P≤0.05</F> for NTPL vs CTPL, NTPL vs CTCF, and NTCF vs CTCF. Average yield differences were also significant between NT and CT but not PL and CF. PL yielded more than CF only in 1997. NT generally had a more favorable soil water regime than CT. Yield differences among treatments occurred during the first 3 years only. Drought in the fourth year reduced yield across all treatments and negated treatment effects. Lint yield would increase in the southeastern USA and an additional outlet for the PL would be created by adopting NT and fertilizing with PL in cotton production. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The PICM-19 fetal liver cell line was isolated from the primary culture and spontaneous differentiation of pig epiblast cells, i.e. embryonic stem cells. PICM-19 cells were induced to differentiate into mostly ductular formations by culturing at pH 7.6–7.8. The ductules were functionally assayed by treatment with cAMP inducing agents and bioactive peptides reported to influence the secretory activity of liver bile ductules. The secretory response of the cells was assessed by qualitative or quantitative measurement of the cross-sectional area of the ductal lumens and the appearance of biliary canaliculi in between PICM-19 cells that had formed monolayers instead of ducts. Forskolin (10 μM) and 8-bromoadenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (bcAMP; 2 mM) stimulated fluid transport and expansion of ductal structures in 15–20 min and stimulated the appearance and expansion of biliary canaliculi in 30–60 min. Cholera toxin (50 ng/ml) stimulates fluid transport in both ductules and canaliculi in 1–2 h, while 8-bromoguanosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (bcGMP; 2 mM) stimulated only biliary canaliculi in 2 h. Glucagon (1.4 nM) produced a similar response in 5–10 min in ductal structures only, but the response was transitory and was almost completely reversed within 30 min. Secretin (100 pM) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (75 pM) produced a sustained response with maximal ductal lumen expansion occurring in 5–10 min and neither had an immediate effect on canaliculi. Somatostatin (0.5 μM) and gastrin (1 μM) caused marked reduction or disappearance of ductal lumens in 30–60 min, but was ineffective in reversing secretin (100 nM)-induced duct distension. Application of the adrenergic agonists, epinephrine, isoproterenol, and phenylephrine (100 μM), resulted in the complete shrinkage of ductal lumens in 20–30 min. A shift to pH 7.0–7.2 resulted in almost complete reduction of ductal lumens, while a shift to pH 7.8–8.0 resulted in expansion, although not full expansion, of the ductal lumens. PICM-19 bile duct cultures were positive for cytokeratin-7, aquaporin-1 and aquaporin-9 by Western blot analysis. The amounts of these proteins increased in the cultures as differentiation proceeded over time. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the ductal structures were usually sandwiched between SIM mouse, thioguanine- and ouabain-resistant (STO) feeder cells that had produced a collagen matrix. Also, the ductular PICM-19 cells possessed cilia, probably occurring as a single cilium in each cell, that projected into the lumens of the ducts. The results indicated that the in vitro-produced ductal structures of the PICM-19 cell line are a functional model for biliary epithelium.Copyright © 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Leucokinins are a group of structurally related neuropeptides stimulating gut motility and fluid secretion by Malpighian tubule in insects. For studying effect of neuropeptides on digestive enzyme release, empty midgut tubes of larvae of Opisina arenosella ligated at both ends with hair were incubated with Leucokinins (LK I-VIII), LK analogues and Leucopyrokinin (LPK) in a bioassay apparatus at 37 °C for 30 min. The lumen contents were subsequently analyzed for digestive enzyme levels. The neuropeptides LK III, FFSWG amide, 122 A[1] WP-2, LPK and 434 [φ2] WP-1 inhibited the release of digestive enzymes, protease and amylase while LK VIII, unique in having tyrosine residue, stimulated protease release. The minimum sequence of amino acids at the C-terminal required for activity of LK peptides was found to be FXSWGamide (X=Asn, His, Ser, or Trp). The N-terminal pyroglutamate residue and proline at the C-terminal may contribute to the inhibitory effect of LPK on digestive enzyme release. The present study reveals for the first time an inhibitory effect for leucokinins and pyrokinin on the release of digestive enzymes from the insect midgut. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Liquids containing microorganisms were exposed to radio frequency (RF) energy to study non-thermal inactivation. RF energy was applied to the liquids while heat was simultaneously removed to control temperature. Turbulent flow was maintained to minimize localized heating. An 18 MHz RF processor applied an approximately 0.5 kV/cm electric field strength to the liquids. It was capable of pasteurizing the liquids provided that cooling was minimized. There were no non-thermal effects of RF energy detected on Escherichia coli K-12, Listeria innocua, or yeast in apple cider, beer, deionized water, liquid whole egg, and tomato juice; nor were there any synergistic effects of RF energy with heat. The low temperature effects of RF energy at 18 MHz and 0.5 kV/cm were due to heat. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Objectives: Postmenopausal women exhibit an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with younger women. However, women receiving hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) seem to be protected. Since chromium (Cr) functions in glucose, lipid and corticosteroid metabolism and these variables, as well as Cr status, decline with age, Cr status may be a contributing factor in the effects of hormone replacement therapy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on serum and urinary Cr, plasma lipids, glucose, fructosamine and the related hormonal variables, estradiol, insulin, leptin, cortisol, and DHEA–sulfate. Methods: Forty-four healthy postmenopausal women 50–60 years old participated in the study. Eighteen were treated by combined oral hormonal replacement therapy (estradiol 2 mg per day during days 1–25 and 10 mg of dydrogesterone on days 10–25) for at least 2 years, and 26 were untreated. Results: Serum Cr concentrations were significantly lower in untreated postmenopausal women than in women receiving HRT (0.070±0.008 vs. 0.100±0.008 ng/ml) whereas urinary Cr excretion was increased (0.14±0.02 vs. 0.07±0.01 ng of Cr/mg creatinine). The urinary losses of Cr were inversely correlated with plasma estradiol. Median value of urinary Cr was higher in postmenopausal women exhibiting endogenous estradiol levels below 250 pmol/l, whereas women with estradiol levels >250 pmol/l, exhibited lower Cr values. Plasma fructosamine, total and LDL cholesterol and TC/HDL ratio, which are all decreased by improved Cr nutrition, were also improved in the women receiving HRT. There were also nonsignificant decreasing trends in DHEA–sulfate (P<0.06) and cortisol (0.07). Conclusions: Chromium status, based upon blood and urinary analyses, and glucose, insulin and lipid variables were improved in postmenopausal women receiving HRT. Additional studies are needed to determine if improved Cr status due to supplemental Cr can elicit effects consistent with those of hormone replacement therapy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Plants sense and respond to red and far-red light using the phytochrome (phy) family of photoreceptors. However, the mechanism of light signal transduction is not well defined. Here, we report the identification of a new mutant Arabidopsis locus, srl2 (&sbline;hort under &rbline;ed-&lbline;ight &2bline;), which confers selective hypersensitivity to continuous red, but not far-red, light. This hypersensitivity is eliminated in srl2phyB, but not srl2phyA, double mutants, indicating that this locus functions selectively and negatively in phyB signaling. The SRL2 gene encodes a bHLH factor, designated PIF4 (&pbline;hytochrome-&ibline;nteracting &fbline;actor &4bline;), which binds selectively to the biologically active Pfr form of phyB, but has little affinity for phyA. Despite its hypersensitive morphological phenotype, the srl2 mutant displays no perturbation of light-induced expression of marker genes for chloroplast development. These data suggest that PIF4 may function specifically in a branch of the phyB signaling network that regulates a subset of genes involved in cell expansion. Consistent with this proposal, PIF4 localizes to the nucleus and can bind to a G-box DNA sequence motif found in various lightregulated promoters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To estimate the potential outcomes of food processing on the fate of foodborne pathogens, variations in microbial parameters such as growth rate, survival time, thermal inactivation time, and toxin production must be known. Previous microbial studies using single strains or cocktails provide error estimates for the uncertainty of the experimental and statistical procedures, but not for variations among strains. In this study, the behavior of 17 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 were followed when placed in synthetic media that permitted growth, survival, or thermal inactivation. The parameter values were not rejected as being normal, lognormal, gamma, or Weibull distributions. The ratio of the standard deviation to mean (normal distribution) for the exponential growth rate was 0.16 and for the lag phase duration, it was 0.38. The ratios of times to achieve a 4−log10 reduction at two survival conditions were 0.39 and 0.46; ratios of thermal D values at 55 and 60 °C were 0.42 and 0.33, respectively. The ratio of the negative log10 of toxin production was 0.24. These distributions are larger than the coefficient of variations observed for experimental errors in single strain and cocktail experiments. This indicates the limitations in precision that predictions of future population numbers can have when the potential presence of all strains needs to be considered. This variation among strains is applicable whether predictions are made by traditional subjective and point estimates or by using models and risk assessments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A series of long-chain methyl esters with vicinal oxo groups (1,2-diones; 1,2-diketones) were synthesized by potassium permanganate-based oxidation of methyl esters of mono-unsaturated fatty acids. The presence of two additional carbonyl groups may facilitate the synthesis of other derivatives. The starting materials were selected in such a fashion to give the 1,2-dioxo moiety in consecutive positions from the methyl ester group. The compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In mass spectrometry, both electron and chemical ionization (methane as reagent gas) were investigated. The position of the dioxo moiety can be determined in both ionization modes, however, in electron ionization mode the corresponding fragment ions are considerably stronger. In electron ionization mode, a fragmentation mechanism depending on the position of the 1,2-dioxo moiety occurs while the spectra derived from chemical ionization mode are mainly characterized by peaks around the molecular ion with both ionization modes appearing suitable.

AB  - The solubilities of three veterinary amphenicol bacteriostats, chloramphenicol, florfenicol and thiamphenicol, were measured in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) by a re-circulating method at temperatures of 313.15 and 333.15 K and pressures ranging from 11.0 to 49.0 MPa. These compounds displayed very limited solubility in SC-CO2 (10−5 to 10−7 mole fraction) over the range of experimental conditions. Chloramphenicol had the highest observed solubility of the three amphenicols, while the solubilities of florfenicol and thiamphenicol were almost an order of magnitude lower. The experimental solubility data were correlated with seven known density-based models. The density models (ln y versus ln ρ or ln ρr) gave better correlation than the semi-log scale of ln y versus ρr. Four models for ln E versus density correlations also gave better correlation than the semi-log scale of ln y versus ρr by introducing the enhancement factor E. The correlation accuracy of all the seven models mainly depends on the system investigated, measured density and temperature range. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The crystal structure of β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-d-glucopyranose (α-cellobiose) in a complex with water and NaI was determined with Mo Kα radiation at 150 K to R=0.027. The space group is P21 and unit cell dimensions are a=9.0188, b=12.2536, c=10.9016 A˚, β=97.162°. There are no direct hydrogen bonds among cellobiose molecules, and the usual intramolecular hydrogen bond between O-3&z.sbnd;H and O-5′ is replaced by a bridge involving Na+, O-3, O-5′, and O-6′. Both Na+ have sixfold coordination. One I− accepts six donor hydroxyl groups and three C&z.sbnd;H⋯I− hydrogen bonds. The other accepts three hydroxyls, one Na+, and five C&z.sbnd;H⋯I− hydrogen bonds. Linkage torsion angles φO-5 and ψC-5 are −73.6 and −105.3°, respectively (φH=47.1° and ψH=14.6°), probably induced by the Na+ bridge. This conformation is in a separate cluster in φ, ψ space from most similar linkages. Both C-6&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;H and C-6′&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;H are gg, while the C-6′&z.sbnd;O&z.sbnd;H groups from molecules not in the cluster have gt conformations. Hybrid molecular mechanics/quantum mechanics calculations show <1.2 kcal/mol strain for any of the small-molecule structures. Extrapolation of the NaI cellobiose geometry to a cellulose molecule gives a left-handed helix with 2.9 residues per turn. The energy map and small-molecule crystal structures imply that cellulose helices having 2.5 and 3.0 residues per turn are left-handed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Evaluation of immunoaffinity columns (IACs) for dioxin serum sample clean-up requires a determination of the recovery of various dioxin congeners. We compared the IAC performance of different monoclonal and polyclonal anti-dioxin antibodies, measuring the recovery of congeners of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs). In addition, we measured the recovery of congeners of the structurally related polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).The polyclonal antibody based IACs evaluated had lower recovery for highly chlorinated dioxin congeners, but were more specific toward 2,3,7,8-TCDD. The resemblance of the hapten to 2,3,7,8-TCDD appeared to play a clear role, but chlorines in the 2-, 3- and 7-positions of the hapten were essential. Recovery of 2,3,7,8-TCDD from the IAC showed some relation to the affinity for the antibody measured by either the Ka from accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) or with 50% inhibition of color activity (IC50) determined from an ELISA analysis.The IACs prepared from four monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) derived from a common hapten showed differences in their retention patterns of PCDDs/PCDFs. Comparison of IC50 from ELISA with recovery from the IACs indicated that a minimum IC50 of 100 ppb was required for satisfactory recovery from the IAC, but the correlation was poor, indicating other factors were involved. Mab DD3 showed the broadest spectrum of the Mabs and showed satisfactory recoveries of all of the dioxin congeners, except OCDD. In addition, DD3 showed good recovery toward 2,3,4,8-TCDF, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF and 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF but has poor recovery when PCDFs have a chlorine substitution in the 1-position.

AB  - An industrial fly ash sample was cleaned by three different processes, which were triboelectrostatic separation, ultrasonic column agglomeration, and column flotation. The unburned carbon concentrates were collected at purities ranging up to 62% at recoveries of 62%. In addition, optical microscopy studies were conducted on the final carbon concentrates to determine the carbon forms (inertinite, isotropic coke and anisotropic coke) collected from these various physical-cleaning processes. The effects of the various cleaning processes on the production of different carbon forms from high carbon fly ashes will be discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of the mammalian central nervous system is almost wholly composed of two long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA). PUFA are dietarily essential, thus normal infant/neonatal brain, intellectual growth and development cannot be accomplished if they are deficient during pregnancy and lactation. Uniquely in the human species, the fetal brain consumes 70% of the energy delivered to it by mother. DHA and AA are needed to construct placental and fetal tissues for cell membrane growth, structure and function. Contemporary evidence shows that the maternal circulation is depleted of AA and DHA during fetal growth. Sustaining normal adult human brain function also requires LC-PUFA.Homo sapiens is unlikely to have evolved a large, complex, metabolically expensive brain in an environment which did not provide abundant dietary LC-PUFA. Conversion of 18-carbon PUFA from vegetation to AA and DHA is considered quantitatively insufficient due to a combination of high rates of PUFA oxidation for energy, inefficient and rate limited enzymatic conversion and substrate recycling. The littoral marine and lacustrine food chains provide consistently greater amounts of pre-formed LC-PUFA than the terrestrial food chain. Dietary levels of DHA are 2.5–100 fold higher for equivalent weights of marine fish or shellfish vs. lean or fat terrestrial meats. Mammalian brain tissue and bird egg yolks, especially from marine birds, are the richest terrestrial sources of LC-PUFA. However, land animal adipose fats have been linked to vascular disease and mental ill-health, whereas marine lipids have been demonstrated to be protective. At South African Capesites, large shell middens and fish remains are associated with evidence for some of the earliest modern humans. Cape sites dating from 100 to 18 kya cluster within 200 km of the present coast. Evidence of early H. sapiens is also found around the Rift Valley lakes and up the Nile Corridor into the Middle East; in some cases there is an association with the use of littoral resources. Exploitation of river, estuarine, stranded and spawning fish, shellfish and sea bird nestlings and eggs by Homo could have provided essential dietary LC-PUFA for men, women, and children without requiring organized hunting/fishing, or sophisticated social behavior. It is however, predictable from the present evidence that exploitation of this food resource would have provided the advantage in multi-generational brain development which would have made possible the advent of H. sapiens. Restriction to land based foods as postulated by the savannah and other hypotheses would have led to degeneration of the brain and vascular system as happened without exception in all other land based apes and mammals as they evolved larger bodies.

AB  - Objective To estimate percentages of US adults who have adopted behaviors promoted by dietary guidance about how to reduce fat intake, and to assess relationships between these behaviors and intake of energy from total and saturated fat.Design Relationships were examined between intake of total and saturated fat from two 24-hour recalls in the US Department of Agriculture''s 1994–1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and responses to 19 fat-related behavior questions on the follow-up Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS).Subjects Data are from a national sample of 5,649 individuals 20 years of age and older.Statistical analyses performed Multiple regression models are used to identify dietary behaviors, demographic factors, and personal characteristics that are determinants of fat intake.Results In this study, the percentage of US adults who consistently followed the low-fat behaviors ranged from 8% to 70%. The most highly adopted behaviors (45% or more of adults) included trimming fat from meat, removing skin from chicken, and eating chips infrequently. The least highly adopted behaviors (15% or less of adults) included eating baked or boiled potatoes without added fat, avoiding butter or margarine on breads, eating low-fat instead of regular cheeses, and having fruit for dessert when dessert is eaten. Together, the 19 fat-related behavior questions on the DHKS formed a statistically significant predictor for total fat and saturated fat intake, expressed as a percent of energy (P<.0001). Key behaviors in terms of their predicted effect on lowering both total and saturated fat intake were never adding fat to baked or boiled potatoes, not eating red meats, eating less than 3 eggs per week, and never eating chicken fried. Predicted effects of these key behaviors in terms of lowering fat intake as a percentage of energy were 1.5 percentage points for total fat and 0.5 percentage point for saturated fat.Conclusions Results have applications for designing brief fat assessment instruments and for identifying key nutrition education messages that promote important fat-lowering behaviors.

AB  - The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the storage life of loquat fruit (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl. cv. Mogi) were investigated. Fruit in MAP had minimal water loss (0.9–1.5%), while perforated polyethylene (PE) packaged fruit had 8.9% water loss after storage for 60 days at 5 °C. MAP significantly retained loquat organic acid levels, although total sugars were not significantly affected. Lower gas permeance MAP increased fruit physiological disorders, including internal browning (or core-browning). Storage temperature was very important for loquat fruit in MAP conditions. Fruit stored at high temperature (20 °C) sustained severe decay, and MAP increased the incidence of decay. Bagging loquats with 20 μm thickness PE at 5 °C resulted in an in-bag atmosphere of approximately 4 kPa O2 with 5 kPa CO2, and in the highest scores for appearance and chemical compounds. Loquat fruit packaged under these atmosphere conditions could be stored for 2 months at 5 °C with a higher quality and minimal risk of disorder development. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Application of the vacuum/steam/vacuum surface intervention process to reduce bacteria on the surface of fruits and vegetables

AB  - A vacuum/steam/vacuum (VSV) surface intervention process has previously been developed for poultry and hot dogs. The process uses a brief exposure to vacuum to remove surface air and water to expose bacteria. After a short treatment with saturated steam (0.1 s), a second vacuum treatment evaporatively cools the surface, resulting in the destruction of bacteria with little or no thermal damage. The VSV surface intervention process has also been applied to fruits and vegetables. Optimization methods were used with cantaloupes, grapefruits, and beets to determine process conditions for steam temperature, steam time, vacuum time, and number of cycles to destroy bacteria with the constraint of little or no thermal damage. Inoculated Listeria innocua was used for the cantaloupe and grapefruit studies and total aerobic plate count (APC) was used for the beet study. Bacteria destruction ranged from 2.5 log cfu/ml APC for beets to almost 4 log L. innocua for grapefruits. The process was successfully applied to other fruits and vegetables such as papayas, mangoes, avocados, kiwis, carrots, cucumbers, and peaches, using the nominal process conditions found with cantaloupes, grapefruits, and beets. Applying the process to bananas, cauliflower, broccoli, and peppers resulted in thermal or mechanical damage. The total process time was 0.5–1.2 s, depending on the number of cycles and the process time per cycle. Assuming that these results with APC and L. innocua are indicative of the treatment of naturally present pathogens, this surface intervention process should ensure that fruits and vegetables suitable for this process will reach the consumer having greatly reduced levels of bacterial contamination.

AB  - The potential toxicity of dietary soy trypsin inhibitor (TI) was evaluated in neonatal miniature swine. From 1 to 6 weeks of age, two groups of male piglets were artificially reared in an Autosow and automatically fed either TI or control liquid diet. From 6 to 39 weeks of age, these two groups were fed either TI or control chow diet. A third group, sow control (SC), suckled from birth to 6 weeks of age, were also weaned to control chow from 6 to 39 weeks of age. Clinical chemistry and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) determined at 6, 18, 30 and 39 weeks of age, and serum amylase activity with gross and histopathological analyses of major organs at 6 and 39 weeks of age are reported. TI had no effect on plasma CCK, serum amylase activity, or numerous clinical chemistry values. TI-fed piglets had a larger relative liver weight at 6 weeks of age. Relative pancreas weight decreased with age but was not affected by TI. Gross and histopathological analyses of major organs, except the spleen, were within normal limits. Increased incidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis was noted in the spleen of the TI group at 6 but not at 39 weeks of age. There was no consistent pattern in immunohistochemical foci for secretin, gastrin releasing polypeptide or CCK, and no change in DNA, RNA, mitotic index or nuclear density of pancreatic cells. At 6 weeks of age, TI increased pancreatic protein and amylase activity but not trypsin or chymotrypsin activity. None of the effects suggested that this dose of TI was toxic to either the neonatal or sexually mature miniature male swine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - River restoration programs often use vegetation to enhance the biological functionality, recreational opportunities, and aesthetic beauty of degraded stream corridors. Yet, none has used vegetation for the purpose of inducing a straight channel to meander. A flume-based study was designed to alter the flow pattern within a straight, degraded stream corridor by using simulated emergent vegetation of varying density placed at key locations within the channel. Placement of vegetation zones was determined using an empirical relation for equilibrium meander wavelength based on the imposed flow rate. Surface flow velocities were quantified using particle image velocimetry. The study showed that (i) flow velocity can be markedly reduced within and near the vegetation zones, (ii) flow can be diverted toward the opposite bank, and (iii) vegetation density controlled the magnitude of these effects.

AB  - The major proteinase activity in extracts of larval midguts from the southern corn rootworm (SCR), Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi, was identified as a cysteine proteinase that prefers substrates containing an arginine residue in the P1 position. Gelatin-zymogram analysis of the midgut proteinases indicated that the artificial diet-fed SCR, corn root-fed SCR, and root-fed western corn rootworms (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) possess a single major proteinase with an apparent molecular mass of 25 kDa and several minor proteinases. Similar proteinase activity pH profiles were exhibited by root-fed and diet-fed rootworms with the optimal activity being slightly acidic. Rootworm larvae reared on corn roots exhibited significantly less caseinolytic activity than those reared on the artificial diet. Midgut proteolytic activity from SCR was most sensitive to inhibition by inhibitors of cysteine proteinases. Furthermore, rootworm proteinase activity was particularly sensitive to inhibition by a commercial protein preparation from potato tubers (PIN-II). One of the proteins, potato cysteine proteinase inhibitor-10′, PCPI-10′, obtained from PIN-II by ion-exchange chromatography, was the major source of inhibitory activity against rootworm proteinase activity. PCPI-10′ and E-64 were of comparable potency as inhibitors of southern corn rootworm proteinase activity (IC50 =31 and 35 nM, respectively) and substantially more effective than chicken egg white cystatin (IC50 =121 nM). Incorporation of PCPI-10′ into the diet of SCR larvae in feeding trials resulted in a significant increase in mortality and growth inhibition. We suggest that expression of inhibitors such as PCPI-10′ by transgenic corn plants in the field is a potentially attractive method of host plant resistance to these Diabrotica species.

AB  - We added a novel flavor, citric acid (CA), to a familiar test diet and conditioned an aversion in lambs to the flavored diet using lithium chloride. In 1 h feeding trials, we examined the roles of a novel flavor cue, choice and nutritional quality of alternatives on the persistence of an aversion. Availability of alternative foods increased the persistence of the aversion to the CA-flavored test diet. Furthermore, persistence was related to the energy content of the alternative. The higher energy alternative better complimented the high protein content of the basal ration (alfalfa pellets) and increased persistence versus the lower energy alternative. Continued avoidance of the CA-flavored test diet was observed even after a 68-day intermission among lambs with access to alternatives. We submit that application of flavor avoidance learning (FAL) may be useful for minimizing herbivory when a novel flavor is employed and alternative forage is present. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - An estimate of the lag phase duration is an important component for predicting the growth of a bacterium and for creating process models and risk assessments. Most current research and data for predictive modeling programs initiated growth studies with cells grown to the stationary phase in a favorable pH, nutrient and temperature environment. In this work, Listeria monocytogenes Scott A cells were grown in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth at different temperatures from 4 to 37 °C to the exponential growth or stationary phases. Additional cells were suspended in a dilute broth, desiccated or frozen. These cells were then transferred to BHI broth at various temperatures from 4 to 37 °C and the lag phase durations were determined by enumerating cells at appropriate time intervals. Long lag phases were observed for cells initially grown at high temperatures and transferred to low temperatures. In general, exponential growth cells had the shortest lag phases, stationary phase and starved cells had longer, frozen cells had slightly longer and desiccated cells had the longest lag phases. These data were from immediate temperature transitions. When a computer-controlled water bath linearly changed the temperature from 37 to 5 °C over a 3.0- or 6.0-h period, the cells had short lags and grew continuously with declining growth rates. Transitions of 0.75 or 1.0 h had 20-h lag phases, essentially that of immediate transitions. When the transition was 1.5 h, an intermediate pattern of less than 1 log of growth followed by no additional growth for 20 h occurred. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Colloidal dispersions of photographic couplers prepared by condensation methods were studied by small-angle neutron scattering, initially in dilute aqueous solutions, where inter-particle effects can be neglected. These nanoparticle dispersions are composed mainly of coupler and surfactant hydrocarbon chains, which were shown to be intimately mixed as in a liquid. The particle sizes were determined to be in the range 50–250 A˚ in radius for ten couplers investigated with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. Selected couplers were studied with two other surfactants. The amount of surfactant associated with coupler in the particles varied with coupler structure and ranged from 50 to 80%. Studies were also performed at higher concentrations where interparticle interactions were observed as manifested by a peak, as opposed to a monotonic fall off in the scattering, as in dilute solutions. For these data, the interparticle scattering function, S(Q), was calculated using the mean spherical approximation, MSA which was used to extract the aggregation number, surface charge, and inner and outer radii of the particle, which define the particle ‘shell’, consisting of surfactant headgroups, counterions and water of hydration.

AB  - Fumonisins are fungal metabolites and suspected human carcinogens. They inhibit ceramide synthase in vitro, enhance tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) production, and cause apoptosis. Fumonisin B1 (FB1) was fed to rats and mice for 2 years or, in separate studies, given to rats or mice for up to 4 weeks. Kidney tubule adenomas and carcinomas were found in male rats fed ≥50 ppm, whereas liver adenomas and carcinomas were found in female mice fed ≥50 ppm for 2 years. In the short-term studies, increases in tissue concentration of the ceramide synthase substrate sphinganine (Sa) and the Sa to sphingosine (So) ratio were correlated with apoptosis. Further, hepatotoxicity was ameliorated in mice lacking either the TNFR1 or the TNFR2 TNFα receptors. Thus, FB1 was carcinogenic to rodents and the findings support the hypothesis that disrupted sphingolipid metabolism and TNFα play important roles in its mode of action. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Response to carbon dioxide by the infective larvae of three species of parasitic nematodes

AB  - The response of infective third-stage larvae (L3) of three species of parasitic nematodes, Ancylostoma caninum, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Haemonchus contortus to carbon dioxide (CO2) at physiological concentrations was investigated. L3 of the skin-penetrating species, A. caninum and S. stercoralis, were stimulated by CO2 at the concentration found in human breath (3.3–4%); these larvae responded by crawling actively, but not directionally. Crawling was not stimulated by breath passed through a CO2-removing ‘scrubber’ or by ‘bench air’. Both A. caninum and S. stercoralis L3 stopped crawling when exposed to 5% CO2 for 1 min. L3 of A. caninum became active 9–14 min after exposure to 5% CO2 ended, but activity resumed more rapidly (10–15 s) if larvae were subsequently exposed to breath or breath through the scrubber. L3 of S. stercoralis resumed crawling 30–35 s after exposure to 5% CO2, but resumed crawling within a very few seconds when exposed to breath or breath through the scrubber. Thus, while 5% CO2 was inhibitory, lower concentrations of this gas stimulated L3 of both species. Apparently, exposing immobilized larvae to breath or breath through the scrubber causes the environmental CO2 concentration to drop to a level that is stimulatory. The L3 of H. contortus ceased crawling and coiled when exposed to human breath or to 1% CO2, but continued to move within the coil in both cases. The crawling response of the L3 of the two skin-penetrating species, A. caninum and S. stercoralis, to stimulation by CO2 probably relates to their active host-finding behavior, while the cessation response elicited by CO2 in H. contortus larvae may relate to the fact that they rely on passive ingestion by a ruminant host.

AB  - Dry beneficiation of three high loss-on-ignition (LOI) fly ashes were conducted. The combination of two different types of dry separation techniques—ultrasonic sieving and triboelectrostatic separation—were used for this study. The results indicate that a simple separation of unburned carbon from fly ash is achievable at particle sizes of 149, 74 and 44 μm, and screening could be utilized as the rough separation mechanism for fly ash. Subsequently, triboelectrostatic separations were conducted on these different particle size fractions of the fly ash and indicated that the final carbon content in the products, as low as 2.5% or as high as 60%, can be further adjusted with the combination of dry sieving and triboelectrostatic separation.

AB  - Cuticular hydrocarbon mixtures can be used to discriminate insect taxa. They have utility for determining phylogenetic relationships where they are independent characters with discrete states and represent a hierarchical distribution of shared, derived characters. We report inferred degrees of relatedness among the chemical phenotypes of Reticulitermes from PAUP (phylogenetic analysis using parsimony) analyses of cuticular hydrocarbon characters. One hundred and forty-one Reticulitermes colonies collected from California, Georgia, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada were used. Initial maximum parsimony analyses sorted the 141 colonies into 26 chemical phenotypes. Subsequent analyses, using the ancestral species Coptotermes formosanus and Heterotermes sp. as outgroups, sorted Reticulitermes taxa into three major lineages, each characterized by a different set of dominant methyl-branched or unsaturated hydrocarbon components. Reticulitermes in lineage I have cuticular hydrocarbon mixtures with a preponderance of internally branched monomethylalkanes and 11,15-dimethylalkanes. Those in lineage II are defined by a preponderance of 5-methylalkanes and 5,17-dimethylalkanes. Taxa in lineage III are characterized by the predominance of olefins and a relative paucity of n-alkanes and methyl-branched alkanes. Bootstrap analyses and decay indices provided statistical support and robustness for these chemical-based relationships. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Our earlier studies demonstrating avian pneumovirus (APV) RNA in wild geese, sparrows, swallows, starlings and mallard ducks suggested that wild birds might be involved in the circulation of APV in the United States. To determine whether turkey virus can be transmitted to the free flying birds, we placed APV-negative mallard ducks next to a turkey farm experiencing a severe APV outbreak and in an area with a large population of waterfowls. The sentinel ducks did not develop clinical APV disease but infectious APV (APV/MN-12) was recovered from choanal swabs after 2 weeks, and anti-APV antibodies detected after 4 weeks. Four APV isolates recovered from the neighboring turkeys that were experiencing an APV outbreak at the same time shared 95–99% nucleotide identity and 97–99% predicted amino acid identity with the duck isolate. In addition experimental infection of turkey poults with APV/MN-12 resulted in detection of viral RNA in nasal turbinates and APV-specific IgG in serum. These results indicate that the APV isolates from turkeys and ducks shared a common source, and the viruses from different avian species can cross-infect. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The nucleocapsid (N) protein genes from 24 Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates representing various pathotypes with different geographical and chronological origins were cloned and sequenced. The N-terminal region of the N protein to residue 401 was highly conserved among isolates with several conservative substitutions occurring that correlated with phylogenetic relationships. Variability of the N protein was detected in the C-terminal portion similar to what has been reported for other members of the Paramyxovirinae. Amino acids previously identified as invariant or highly conserved in N proteins of other paramyxoviruses were also present in the NDV protein. Phylogenetic analysis of N gene coding sequences among NDV isolates again demonstrated the existence of two major groups. One clade contained viruses that included vaccine and virulent strains isolated in the USA prior to 1970 while a second clade included vaccine and virulent viruses isolated worldwide. Comparison of N protein amino acid sequences among members of the Paramyxoviridae resulted in NDV and avian paramyxovirus 6 separating as a cluster distinct from the Rubulavirus genus. This provides further support for avian paramyxoviruses being considered for their own genus among the Paramyxovirinae. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Previously we demonstrated that two doses of a replication-defective human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) carrying the capsid (P1) and 3C protease coding regions of a laboratory strain of FMDV (A12) completely protected five of six swine challenged with homologous virus. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of one dose of an Ad5-vectored vaccine expressing the P1 coding region of an FMDV field strain. A replication-defective Ad5 containing the P1 coding region of FMDV A24 and the 3C coding region of A12 (Ad5A24) was constructed and evaluated for its ability to induce neutralizing antibodies and protect swine against homologous challenge after a single vaccination. Animals were challenged 7, 14 or 42 days after vaccination. Control groups included animals inoculated with commercial vaccine or phosphate-buffered saline. All vaccinated swine were completely protected against homologous challenge at 7, 14 or 42 days after vaccination.

AB  - We have examined the titled reaction near its threshold using the pulsed field ionization photoelectron–photoion coincidence method. The measured 0 K threshold (<f>18.220±0.002</f> eV) has made possible the determination of more precise values for the 0 K bond dissociation energies for <f>D–OD+</f> (<f>5.584±0.002</f> eV) and D–OD (<f>5.191±0.002</f> eV) and the 0 K heats of formation (<f>ΔH0f0</f>''s) for <f>OD+</f> (<f>308.83±0.05</f> kcal/mol) and OD (<f>8.38±0.05</f> kcal/mol). We found that the available energetic data for the <f>OD/OD+</f> and <f>D2O/D2O+</f> system are in excellent agreement with those for the <f>OH/OH+</f> and <f>H2O/H2O+</f> system after taking into account the zero-point vibration energies of these species.

AB  - Oregon''s coastal highway includes over 120 bridges, most of which are reinforced concrete bridges. Twelve are historic structures. Over <f>40,000 m2</f> of bridge surface has been repaired and is protected from further corrosion damage using thermal-sprayed zinc anodes in impressed current and galvanic cathodic protection (CP) systems. In addition, thermal-sprayed titanium, thermal-sprayed Al–12Zn–0.2In, and zinc-hydrogel anodes are being evaluated in demonstration projects on coastal bridges. Thermal-sprayed zinc anodes are estimated to have a service life exceeding 25 yr but exhibit increasing anode polarization with electrochemical age. Humectants such as lithium nitrate and lithium bromide can reduce anode polarization and extend anode service life. Catalyzed thermal-sprayed titanium anodes develop no significant anode polarization and exhibit stable long-term performance. Zinc-hydrogel galvanic anodes produce a stable protection current with no evidence of aging effects. One of the more powerful and economical tools available for assessing potential corrosion problems in a structure and for characterizing the corrosivity of bridge microclimates is chloride profiling. Current Oregon DOT specifications call for the use of stainless steel reinforcing bar in deck, beams, and precast prestressed girders, and of microsilica concrete in all future coastal bridge construction. Stainless steel bar adds a 10% premium to total project cost compared to black iron bar but is expected to reduce cumulative costs by 50% over the 120+ yr bridge life. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Differences in the fatty acid composition of larvae and metamorphosing sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus

AB  - This study was designed to evaluate biochemical changes in the fatty acid (FA) compositions of selected lipid depot (kidney and liver) and absorption (intestine) organs in larvae and metamorphosing sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus. Palmitic or stearic acids were generally the predominant saturated fatty acids (SFA) before and during metamorphosis, but the greatest proportion of myristic acid occurred in renal triacylglycerol (TG). Monoenes, dienes, and polyenes consist mainly of 16:1, 18:1, and 20:1, 18:2 and 20:2ω6, and 18:4ω3, respectively. Alterations in these predominant fatty acids occurred during lamprey metamorphosis, but depended on tissue, lipid class, and developmental status. During metamorphosis, kidney TG and phospholipid (PL) classes tended to mobilize SFA and enhance the fatty acid unsaturation, as indicated by increased unsaturated/saturated ratio, unsaturation index (USI), and total mean chain length (MCL). There was a tendency to increase saturation in the fatty acids of liver TG and PL classes and intestine TG, FA and monoacylglycerol (MG) classes, but to increase unsaturation in the fatty acids of liver cholesteryl ester (CE), FA and MG classes and intestine PL and CE classes from larva or stage 3 to stage 7. Increased polyunsaturated fatty acids in kidney TG and PL from larvae to stage 5 transformers and intestine PL and CE from stage 3 to stage 7 transformers may reflect an osmoregulatory pre-adaptation. The presence of branched-chain SFA (BCSFA) and the odd number of fatty acids (ONFA) indicated a significant role of detritivores in the benthic larvae. Decreased abundance of BCSFA, ONFA, and 18:2 dienes occurred in the transformed intestine TG as non-trophic metamorphosis proceeded. These data suggest that sea lamprey metamorphosis may proceed in a habitat, dietary, osmoregulatory, energetic, and developmental pre-adaptation of fatty acid composition from benthic filter-feeding larvae to pelagic parasitic juveniles.

AB  - Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a toxic metabolite of Fusarium verticillioides, is a carcinogen and causative agent of various animal diseases. Our previous studies indicated the involvement of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in FB1-induced toxic responses. To further investigate the time-course of TNFα production and signaling, mice (four/group) were treated subcutaneously (s.c.) or per os (p.o.) with either vehicle or 25 mg/kg of FB1 as a single dose and sacrificed at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after treatment. The TNFα expression was increased in liver and kidney after both routes of FB1 exposure without any alterations in spleen. The p.o.-route FB1 treatment caused greater hepatotoxicity compared to the s.c. route, as depicted by increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase level in plasma, observed only after p.o. FB1 treatment. The increase in enzymes at 8 h after p.o. treatment correlated with the highest TNFα expression, also noted at 8 h after p.o. treatment, thus further confirming the involvement of TNFα in FB1 toxicity. The interferon (IFN)-γ expression was increased in liver at 4 h after p.o. FB1 treatment, suggesting a possible combined role of TNFα and IFNγ in their induction and hepatotoxicity.

AB  - The clathrate compounds of methane gas hydrate (MGH) was synthesized in laboratory at a temperature of 273.5 K and at a pressure of 6.8–13.6 MPa, consisting of solid phase MGH dispersed within various custom-designed porous sediments. This synthesized MGH looks almost like the MGH made by Mother Nature in the strata in the natural gas hydrate (NGH) field. Using this synthesized MGH, the dissociation rate was measured by depressurizing method. From experimental results, the kinetic dissociation rate equation and order of the reaction were derived. It was found through experiments that the dissociation rate could be adjusted by the control of sediment properties. With respect to MGH formation reaction, the reaction rate equation and its reaction order were also derived. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The effect of plant nitrogen (N) status on the content and distribution of free amino acids in the bodies and honeydew of silverleaf whiteflies Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) Biotype B (= B. argentifolii Bellows and Perring) was determined. Whiteflies fed for 4 days on cotton leaves that received high or low N fertility. For low-N plants, photosynthesis and leaf total N levels were decreased, and a much-reduced amount of free amino acids was recovered in phloem sap. Low N fertility did not affect whitefly total N content, but did markedly decrease the free amino acid content. Glutamine, alanine and proline accounted for over half of the insect free amino acid pool for both N treatments. On a relative basis, adjustments in glutamine levels in response to plant N status were much larger compared to the other amino acids. Large amounts of amino N, especially asparagine, were excreted from whiteflies fed on high-N plants whereas amino N excretion essentially ceased for whiteflies fed on low N plants. The distribution of amino acids in the insects and honeydew was not closely related to the phloem sap amino acids. However, total amino acid excretion was quite indicative of the plant N status and the quality of the insect diet. The results indicated that whitefly free amino acid pools and excretion of amino N were rapidly altered by plant N status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Accurately predicting fire-caused mortality is essential to developing prescribed fire burn plans and post-fire salvage marking guidelines. The mortality model included in the commonly used USA fire behaviour and effects models, the First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM), BehavePlus, and the Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS), has not been tested with independently collected post-fire tree mortality data. The model predicts mortality for a wide range of conifer species based on crown scorch and species-specific bark thickness. We evaluated the mortality model on 13 western USA conifers: subalpine fir, red fir, white fir, Douglas-fir, incense cedar, western larch, western hemlock, Engelmann spruce, whitebark pine, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, and sugar pine. Predicted stand-level mortality was within ±20% of observed mortality for all species except incense cedar, western larch, red fir, and western hemlock, Individual tree mortality prediction was most accurate for subalpine fir, incense cedar, ponderosa pine, and Jeffrey pine. Evaluation of the model provides managers with an accuracy assessment for estimating the probability of mortality for the majority of western USA conifers when using the mortality model to make land management decisions.

AB  - AbstractÂ Â  Phytophthora nicotianae and P. palmivora are the most important soil-borne pathogens of citrus in Florida. These two species were detected and identified in singly and doubly infected plants using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal DNA. The sensitivity of the PCR-RFLP was analyzed and the usefulness of the method evaluated as an alternative or supplement to serological methods and recovery on semi-selective medium. In a semi-nested PCR with universal primers ITS4 and ITS6, the detection limit was 1Â fg of fungal DNA, which made it 1000ï¿½ more sensitive than a single-step PCR with primers ITS4 and DC6. The sensitivity of detection for P. nicotianae was shown to be ten-fold lower than for P. palmivora, limiting its detection with restriction profiles in plants infected by both fungal species. Phytophthora nicotianae was detected with species-specific primers in all samples inoculated with this species despite the absence of species-specific patterns in RFLP. In contrast, the incidence of detection of P. palmivora in the presence of P. nicotianae was considerably lower using plating and morphological detection methods. Due to its high sensitivity, PCR amplification of ribosomal ITS regions is a valuable tool for detecting and identifying Phytophthora spp. in citrus roots, provided a thorough knowledge of reaction conditions for the target species is established prior to the interpretation of data.

AB  - AbstractÂ Â The taxonomic status of 16 strains received as Streptomyces hygroscopicus, Streptomyces melanosporofaciens, Streptomyces sparsogenes, Streptomyces sporoclivatus and Streptomyces violaceusniger was evaluated in a polyphasic study. Eleven of the organisms formed a distinct clade in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree with the type strains of Streptomyces asiaticus, Streptomyces cangkringensis, Streptomyces indonesiensis, Streptomyces javensis, Streptomyces malaysiensis, Streptomyces rhizosphaericus, Streptomyces yatensis and Streptomyces yogyakartensis, the members of this group produced rugose ornamented spores in spiral spore chains. The eleven strains were assigned to three established and four novel species, namely Streptomyces albiflaviniger sp. nov., Streptomyces demainii sp. nov., Streptomyces geldanamycininus sp. nov., Streptomyces griseiniger sp. nov., and Streptomyces hygroscopicus, Streptomyces melanosporofaciens and Streptomyces violaceusniger. It is also proposed that S. sporoclivatus becomes a subjective synonym of S. melanosporofaciens. S. sparsogenes NRRL 2940T, which produced ridged ornamented spores in spiral spore chains, formed a distinct phyletic line in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree and was readily distinguished from the other strains using a range of phenotypic properties. S. violaceusniger strains NRRL 8097, NRRL B-5799, NRRL 2834 and ISP 5182 fell outside the S. violaceusniger 16S rRNA gene clade and formed either smooth or ridged ornamented spores in either flexuous or spiral spore chains. These organisms were distinguished from one another and from their closest phylogenetic neighbors and were considered to merit species status as Streptomyces auratus sp. nov., Streptomyces phaeoluteichromatogenes sp. nov., Streptomyces phaeogriseichromatogenes sp. nov., and Streptomyces phaeoluteigriseus sp. nov., respectively.

AB  - Management actions to control invasive aquatic species can have significant ecosystem-scale effects. We evaluated the water chemistry and nutrient effects of mechanical shredding to control water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in an agricultural slough and a tidal wetland on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, California. Shredding was conducted with two types of shredder boats in fall of 2003 and another boat in spring of 2004. Shredding measurably affected water quality, but specific effects varied as a function of shredding site and season. Significant increases were observed for total Kjeldahl nitrogen and total phosphorus for all experiments. Dissolved oxygen effects varied by site, decreasing after shredding at the agricultural slough but increasing at the tidal wetland. The increase in dissolved oxygen likely resulted from tidal incursions from the adjacent river. A year-long time series of dissolved oxygen data indicated a negative relationship between hyacinth abundance and dissolved oxygen concentrations. Hyacinth contained similar tissue concentrations of mercury to underlying sediments, suggesting that plant harvesting could aid mercury remediation efforts. Simple mass calculations indicated that Delta-wide shredding operations could cause between 0.1% and 9.6% increases in the overall abundance of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the Delta water column. Results suggest that local effects of management actions to control invasive aquatic plants will vary widely as a function of site-specific hydrology, but that estuary-wide effects would be limited.

AB  - A wealth of molecular interaction data is available in the literature, ranging from large-scale datasets to a single interaction confirmed by several different techniques. These data are all too often reported either as free text or in tables of variable format, and are often missing key pieces of information essential for a full understanding of the experiment. Here we propose MIMIx, the minimum information required for reporting a molecular interaction experiment. Adherence to these reporting guidelines will result in publications of increased clarity and usefulness to the scientific community and will support the rapid, systematic capture of molecular interaction data in public databases, thereby improving access to valuable interaction data.

AB  - Experiments were conducted to examine the effect of vertical stratification in soil erodibility on the development and migration of steady state headcut scour holes in upland concentrated flows typical of agricultural fields. Packed soil beds with a preformed step were subjected to identical simulated rainstorms and clear-water overland flow rates, which resulted in predictable, actively migrating headcut scour holes with nearly identical characteristics. When an erosion-resistant layer was incorporated into the packed soil bed at a depth that exceeded this expected plunge pool scour depth, the erosion and hydraulic processes of the migrating headcuts remained unchanged. When the erosion-resistant layer was placed so as to intersect this potential headcut scour depth, the erosivity of the reattached wall jet was unable to erode this layer, and the depth of scour, the nappe entry angle, and sediment efflux all were reduced inversely proportional to the relative depth of the resistant layer. These data were successfully predicted using modified jet impingement theory for headcut scour holes and demonstrate further the effects of soil management and tillage practices on total soil losses from agricultural fields.

AB  - Environmental monitoring is often criticized as being unscientific, too expensive, and wasteful. While some monitoring studies do suffer from these problems, there are also many highly successful long-term monitoring programs that have provided important scientific advances and crucial information for environmental policy. Here, we discuss the characteristics of effective monitoring programs, and contend that monitoring should be considered a fundamental component of environmental science and policy. We urge scientists who develop monitoring programs to plan in advance to ensure high data quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness, and we urge government agencies and other funding institutions to make greater commitments to increasing the amount and long-term stability of funding for environmental monitoring programs.

AB  - Summary: Species abundances (evenness or identity of the dominant species in mixtures) usually are not rigorously controlled when testing relationships between plant production and species richness and may be highly dynamic in disturbed or early successional communities. Changes in species abundances may affect the yield of mixtures relative to yields expected from species monocultures [the net biodiversity effect (NBE)] by changing how species that differ in function are distributed in the plant community. To test the prediction that variation in species abundances affects the NBE via changes in the expression of functional differences among species (the complementarity effect), we grew perennial grasses and forbs in field plots in central Texas, USA, as equal-density monocultures and two-species mixtures in which relative abundances of species were varied. Function should differ more consistently between species of different growth forms than of the same growth form. We predicted, therefore, that the complementarity effect and influence of species abundances on the NBE would be more pronounced in grass/forb mixtures than in mixtures with species of the same growth form (grass/grass and forb/forb mixtures). The NBE varied with species evenness in two of the six species pairs studied and with identity of the dominant species in a third species combination. The NBE was sensitive to species proportions in both grass/grass and grass/forb assemblages. In all combinations in which the NBE differed with either evenness or identity of the dominant species, the variation resulted largely from change in the complementarity effect. Our results suggest that the NBE of mixtures is sensitive to effects of species ratios on complementarity. (English) [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
AB  - Zusammenfassung: Wenn die Beziehungen zwischen Pflanzenproduktion und Artenreichtum untersucht werden, dann werden die Artabundanzen (Äquitabilität oder Identität der dominanten Arten in Mischungen) normalerweise nicht streng kontrolliert und können äußerst dynamisch in gestörten Gemeinschaften oder in Gemeinschaften früher Sukzessionsstadien sein. Die Veränderungen in den Artabundanzen können den Ertrag von Mischungen im Verhältnis zum Ertrag, der von artreinen Monokulturen erwartet wird [Netto-Biodiversitäts-Effekt, (NBE)], beeinflussen. Die Artabundanzen verändern die Verbreitung von Arten in einer Pflanzengemeinschaft, die sich in ihrer Funktion unterscheiden. Um die Vorhersage zu testen, dass Veränderungen in den Artabundanzen den NBE über die Ausprägung von funktionalen Unterschieden zwischen den Arten (den komplementären Effekt) beeinflussen, pflanzten wir in Versuchsfeldern in Zentraltexas, USA, perennierende Gräser und Hochstauden in Monokulturen gleicher Dichte und Zwei-Arten-Mischungen, in denen die relativen Abundanzen der Arten variiert wurden. Die Funktion sollte sich zwischen Arten unterschiedlicher Wuchsform eher unterscheiden als zwischen Arten der gleichen Wuchsform. Wir sagten deshalb voraus, dass der komplementäre Effekt und der Einfluss der Artabundanzen auf den NBE in Gras/Hochstauden-Mischungen stärker betont sein würde als in Mischungen, die Arten der gleichen Wuchsform enthielten (Gras/Gras- und Hochstauden/Hochstauden-Mischungen). Der NBE variierte mit der Artäquitabilität in zwei der sechs Artenpaare, die untersucht wurden, und mit der Identität der dominanten Art in einer dritten Artenkombination. Der NBE reagierte auf die Proportionen der Arten sowohl in Gras/Gras- als auch in Hochstauden/Hochstauden-Zusammensetzungen. Bei allen Kombinationen in denen sich der NBE entweder in der Äquitabilität oder der Identität der dominanten Art unterschied, resultierte die Variation im Wesentlichen aus einer Veränderung des komplementären Effekts. Unsere Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass der NBE von Mischungen auf Effekte der Artanteile auf die Komplementarität reagiert. </ce:abst (German) [Copyright 2007 Elsevier]

AB  - Selective logging is an extensive land-use practice in South America. Governments in the region have enacted policies to promote the establishment and maintenance of economically productive and sustainable forest industries. However, both biological and policy constraints threaten to limit the viability of the industry over the long term. Biological constraints, such as slow tree growth rates, can be overcome somewhat by management practices. In order to improve the likelihood of success for sustainable management, it is important to accept that forests change over time and that managed forests may be different than those of the present. Furthermore, education campaigns must convince decision makers and the public of the value of forest resources. We recommend that the forest sector be governed by simple, understandable regulations, based on sound science and consistent enforcement, and that governments work with, instead of against, industry. Problems of tropical forest management are far from being solved, so biological and social scientists should continue to generate new knowledge to promote effective management.

AB  - El aprovechamiento selectivo es una práctica extensiva del uso del suelo en Sudamérica. Los gobiernos de laregión han establecido políticas para promover el establecimiento y mantenimiento de industrias forestales económicamente productivas y sostenibles. Sin embargo, tanto restricciones biológicas como políticas amenazan con limitar la viabilidad a largo plazo de esta industria. Las limitaciones biológicas, tales como una baja tasa de crecimiento de los árboles, pueden ser superadas parcialmente a través de prácticas de manejo. Para aumentar la probabilidad de éxito del manejo sostenible es importante reconocer que los bosques cambian en el tiempo y que los bosques manejados podrían ser diferentes a los bosques actuales. Asimismo las campañas de educación deben convencer a los tomadores de decisiones y al público en general del valor que tienen los recursos forestales. Recomendamos que el sector forestal esté regido por regulaciones sencillas y comprensibles, basadas en una ciencia sólida y con aplicación consistente, y que los gobiernos trabajen con, y no en contra de, la industria. Los problemas de manejo de los bosques tropicales están lejos de ser resueltos, por lo que los científicos de las áreas biológicas y sociales deben continuar generando nuevo conocimiento para promover un manejo forestal efectivo.

AB  - Several apo B polymorphic sites have been studied for their potential use as markers for CHD in the population and for potential gene–diet interactions. Our aim was to determine whether the presence of the -516C/T polymorphism in the APOB gene promoter modifies insulin sensitivity to dietary fat. We studied fifty-nine healthy volunteers (thirty men and twenty-nine women, thirty-six homozygotes for the -516C allele (C/C) (nineteen males and seventeen females) and twenty-three heterozygotes for the -516T allele (C/T) (eleven males and twelve females)). Subjects consumed three diets during the feeding study, 4 weeks each: an SFA-rich diet (38 % fat, 20 % SFA), followed by a carbohydrate (CHO)-rich diet (30 % fat, 55 % CHO) or a MUFA-rich diet (38 % fat, 22 % MUFA) following a randomised cross-over design. For each diet, we investigated peripheral insulin sensitivity with the insulin suppression test. Male carriers of the -516T allele showed a significantly greater decrease in steady-state plasma glucose concentrations when changing from the SFA-rich diet (9·18 (sd 1·35) mmol/l) to the MUFA (6·55 (sd 0·74) mmol/l) or the CHO (6·31 (sd 0·93) mmol/l) diets than did those who were homozygous for the C allele (P = 0·040). Furthermore, C/T subjects presented higher plasma NEFA values after consumption of the SFA diet compared with the MUFA and CHO diets (P = 0·001). This effect was not observed in females (P = 0·908). Our findings show that male carriers of the -516T allele, C/T, have a significant increase in insulin resistance after consumption of all diets, but the difference is more exaggerated after the SFA diet compared with the MUFA- and CHO-rich diets.

AB  - Performance reliability advances and cost reductions have been achieved with hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in both the transportation and distributed energy sectors. This paper reviews the status of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, identifies key business and policy drivers for the hydrogen economy, critically examines key barriers to implementing the hydrogen economy, identifies and discusses key national initiatives to advance the hydrogen economy, and identifies and discusses key intergovernmental initiatives and activities to advance the hydrogen economy. Hydrogen and fuel cell technology advances, coupled with a reduction in costs and improvements in performance reliability, present new opportunities for developed and developing countries to achieve energy, economic and environmental security. Substantial national research and development investments in hydrogen production, storage, transport, end-use technologies (e.g., fuel cells), safety and public education underscore future opportunities. Intergovernmental bodies such as Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy (IPHE) provide a multilateral framework for development of a global hydrogen economy. While the pathway forward for the hydrogen economy is precarious alternative energy options offer substantially fewer public benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Xylose is a major constituent of plant lignocellulose, and its fermentation is important for the bioconversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals. Pichia stipitis is a well-studied, native xylose-fermenting yeast. The mechanism and regulation of xylose metabolism in P. stipitis have been characterized and genes from P. stipitis have been used to engineer xylose metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have sequenced and assembled the complete genome of P. stipitis. The sequence data have revealed unusual aspects of genome organization, numerous genes for bioconversion, a preliminary insight into regulation of central metabolic pathways and several examples of colocalized genes with related functions. The genome sequence provides insight into how P. stipitis regulates its redox balance while very efficiently fermenting xylose under microaerobic conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Rapid expansion of highway and jet traffic in China has created a surge of demand for oil products, putting pressure on world energy markets and petroleum product prices. This paper examines trends in freight and passenger traffic to assess how growth in China''s transport demand relates to growth in China''s economy, as well as the energy intensity of transport. Based on assumptions about demand elasticity and energy intensity, a range of scenarios is developed for China''s oil demand through 2020. Incremental oil demand from China''s transport sector is then compared with world oil demand projections to assess the likely impact on world oil prices. The finding is that new demand from China''s transport sector would likely raise world oil prices in 2020 by 1–3% in reference scenarios or by 3–10% if oil supply investment is constrained.

AB  - Abstract: Human activity is changing air quality and climate in the US Pacific Northwest. In a first application of non-metric multidimensional scaling to a large-scale, framework dataset, we modeled lichen community response to air quality and climate gradients at 1416 forested 0.4ha plots. Model development balanced polluted plots across elevation, forest type and precipitation ranges to isolate pollution response. Air and climate scores were fitted for remaining plots, classed by lichen bioeffects, and mapped. Projected 2040 temperatures would create climate zones with no current analogue. Worst air scores occurred in urban-industrial and agricultural valleys and represented 24% of the landscape. They were correlated with: absence of sensitive lichens, enhancement of nitrophilous lichens, mean wet deposition of ammonium >0.06mg l−1, lichen nitrogen and sulfur concentrations >0.6% and 0.07%, and SO2 levels harmful to sensitive lichens. The model can detect changes in air quality and climate by scoring re-measurements. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Coarse wood provides important ecosystem structure and function such as water and nutrient storage and critical habitat for the conservation of a variety of organisms, including ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. The chemistry and EM communities were compared in coarse wood samples collected from two advanced decay stages of logs in 12 paired young and old-growth stands in the Oregon Cascade Range. Average total C and nonpolar extractives were higher in young stands (15–55 years) (mean = 53.38%, 95% CI of 52.48–54.27 and mean = 8.54%, 95% CI of 6.92–10.16, respectively) compared with old-growth stands (200–500 years) (mean = 51.22%, 95% CI of 49.67–52.77 and mean = 6.75%, 95% CI of 5.88–7.62, respectively). Averages for total and extractable P were higher in old-growth stands (mean = 0.03%, 95% CI of 0.02–0.04 and mean = 82.91, 95% CI of 52.24–113.57, respectively) compared with young stands (mean = 0.02%, 95% CI of 0.02–0.02 and mean = 56.17, 95% CI of 45.84–66.50, respectively). Average pH and total N were highest in logs in the most advanced decay stage (mean = 4.17, 95% CI of 3.97–4.38 and mean = 0.35%, 95% CI of 0.29–0.40, respectively). No differences between log decay class or stand age were detected for water-soluble extractives, hemicellulose plus cellulose (or acid-hydrolyzable fraction), or acid-unhydrolyzable residue. Observed differences in average wood property values between decay stages and between young and old-growth stands were small and, although statistically significant, may not reflect an important difference in EM fungal habitat. EM communities were similar between young and old-growth stands and between logs in decay classes 4 and 5. Results suggest that down wood in advanced decay stages provides similar habitat for EM fungi in both old-growth and young, managed stands. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Les débris ligneux grossiers fournissent d’importantes structures et fonctions dans les écosystèmes telles que l’emmagasinage d’eau et de nutriments ainsi qu’un habitat crucial pour la conservation d’une variété d’organismes, incluant les champignons ectomycorhiziens (EM). Les caractéristiques chimiques et les communautés de champignons EM ont été comparées dans des échantillons de débris ligneux grossiers prélevés sur des billes à deux stades de décomposition avancée dans 12 paires de jeunes et de vieux peuplements situés dans la chaîne des Cascades en Oregon. Les quantités totales de C et de substances extractibles non polaires étaient en moyenne plus élevées dans les jeunes peuplements (15–55 ans) (moyenne 53,38 %, IC 95 % de 52,48 à 54,27 et moyenne 8,54 %, IC 95 % de 6,92 à 10,16, respectivement) que dans les vieux peuplements (200–500 ans) (moyenne 51,22 %, IC 95 % de 49,67 à 52,77 et moyenne 6,75 %, IC 95 % de 5,88 à 7,62, respectivement). Les moyennes pour les quantités de P total et extractible étaient plus élevées dans les vieux peuplements (moyenne 0,03 %, IC 95 % de 0,02 à 0,04 et moyenne 82,91, IC 95 % de 52,24 à 113,57, respectivement) comparativement aux jeunes peuplements (moyenne 0,02 %, IC 95 % de 0,02 à 0,02 et moyenne 56,17, IC 95 % de 45,84 à 66,50, respectivement). Le pH et la quantité totale de N étaient en moyenne les plus élevés dans les billes au stade de décomposition le plus avancé (moyenne 4,17, IC 95 % de 3,97 à 4,38 et moyenne 0,35 %, IC 95 % de 0,29 à 0,40, respectivement). Aucune différence entre les classes de décomposition des billes ou l’âge des peuplements n’a été détectée dans le cas des substances extractibles en solution aqueuse, des hémicelluloses et de la cellulose (ou fraction hydrolysable dans l’acide) ou des résidus non hydrolysables dans l’acide. Les différences observées dans la valeur moyenne des propriétés du bois entre les stades de décomposition et entre les jeunes et les vieux peuplements étaient faibles et, bien que statistiquement significatives, pourraient ne pas refléter une différence importante dans l’habitat des champignons EM. Les communautés de champignons EM étaient semblables dans les jeunes et les vieux peuplements ainsi que dans les billes dans les classes de décomposition 4 et 5. Les résultats indiquent que les débris ligneux à un stade de décomposition avancée fournissent des habitats similaires pour les champignons EM dans les peuplements aménagés, qu’ils soient vieux ou jeunes.

AB  - Transgenic glyphosate-resistant soybeans (GRS) have been commercialized and grown extensively in the Western Hemisphere, including Brazil. Worldwide, several studies have shown that previous and potential effects of glyphosate on contamination of soil, water, and air are minimal, compared to those caused by the herbicides that they replace when GRS are adopted. In the USA and Argentina, the advent of glyphosate-resistant soybeans resulted in a significant shift to reduced- and no-tillage practices, thereby significantly reducing environmental degradation by agriculture. Similar shifts in tillage practiced with GRS might be expected in Brazil. Transgenes encoding glyphosate resistance in soybeans are highly unlikely to be a risk to wild plant species in Brazil. Soybean is almost completely self-pollinated and is a non-native species in Brazil, without wild relatives, making introgression of transgenes from GRS virtually impossible. Probably the highest agricultural risk in adopting GRS in Brazil is related to weed resistance. Weed species in GRS fields have shifted in Brazil to those that can more successfully withstand glyphosate or to those that avoid the time of its application. These include Chamaesyce hirta (erva-de-Santa-Luzia), Commelina benghalensis (trapoeraba), Spermacoce latifolia (erva-quente), Richardia brasiliensis (poaia-branca), and Ipomoea spp. (corda-de-viola). Four weed species, Conyza bonariensis, Conyza Canadensis (buva), Lolium multiflorum (azevem), and Euphorbia heterophylla (amendoim bravo), have evolved resistance to glyphosate in GRS in Brazil and have great potential to become problems.

AB  - Imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine), a chloronicotinyl insecticide used to control biting and sucking insects, is very persistent in the soil with a half-life often greater than 100 days. Although a few soil metabolites have been reported in the literature, there are no reports of imidacloprid-degrading soil microorganisms. Our objectives were to discover, isolate, and characterize microorganisms capable of degrading imidacloprid in soil. Two soil-free stable enrichment cultures in N-limited media were obtained that degraded 19 mg L- 1 (43%) and 11 mg L- 1 (16%) of the applied imidacloprid, and produced about 19 mg L- 1 6-chloronicotinic acid in three weeks. Enrichment media without microorganisms had no loss of imidacloprid. Strain PC-21, obtained from the enrichment cultures, degraded 37% to 58% of 25 mg L- 1 imidacloprid in tryptic soy broth containing 1 g L- 1 succinate and D-glucose at 27°C incubation over a period of three weeks. Trace amounts of NO3-/NO2-were produced and six metabolites were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 14C-methylene-imidacloprid and liquid chromatograph-electrospray-mass spectrometer (LC-MS). Two of the metabolites were identified as imidacloprid-guanidine and imidacloprid-urea by HPLC standards and LC-MS. During the experiment, 6-chloronicotinic acid was not produced. Less than 1% of the applied 14C was incorporated into the microbial biomass and no 14CO2 was detected. Strain PC-21, identified as a species of Leifsonia by PCR amplification of a 500 bp sequence of 16s rRNA, cometabolized imidacloprid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Elevated CO2, in the dark, is sometimes reported to inhibit leaf respiration, with respiration usually measured as CO2 efflux. Oxygen uptake may be a better gauge of respiration because non‐respiratory processes can affect dark CO2 efflux in elevated CO2. Two methods of quantifying O2 uptake indicated that leaf respiration was unaffected by coincident CO2 level in the dark. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Responses to water stress within a population of wild barley from Tabigha, Israel, were examined. The population's distribution spans two soil types: Terra Rossa (TR) and Basalt (B). Seeds were collected from plants along a 100 m transect; 24 genotypes were sampled from TR and 28 from B. Due to different soil water-holding capacities, plants growing on TR naturally experience more intense drought than plants growing on B. In a glasshouse experiment, water was withheld from plants for two periods (10 d and 14 d) after flag leaf emergence. A total of 15 agronomic, morphological, developmental, and fertility related traits were examined by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Ten of these traits were significantly affected by the treatment. A high degree of phenotypic variation was found in the population with significant genotype×treatment and soil type×treatment interactions. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using combined control and stress treatment data sets. The first three principal components (pc) explained 88.8% of the variation existing in the population with pc1 (47.9%) comprising yield-related and morphological traits, pc2 (22.9%) developmental characteristics and pc3 (18.0%) fertility-related traits. The relative performance of individual genotypes was determined and water stress tolerant genotypes identified. TR genotypes were significantly less affected by the imposed water stress than B genotypes. Moreover, TR genotypes showed accelerated development under water deficit conditions. Data indicate that specific genotypes demonstrating differential responses may be useful for comparative physiological studies, and that TR genotypes exhibiting yield stability may have value for breeding barley better adapted to drought.

AB  - The process of selecting biological control agents for further development frequently does not involve conducting bioassays of strain effectiveness on a range of pathogen isolates or host cultivars. Additionally, though previous studies have demonstrated that the medium used to produce biomass of an antagonist can alter its efficacy, this factor is also rarely considered when selecting for the most effective antagonist. Host cultivar, pathogen isolate, and the cultivation medium used to produce the antagonists' biomass were examined as factors of potential importance for assessing the relative effectiveness of bacterial biocontrol strains accurately. Five bacterial antagonists that control Fusarium dry rot on stored potato tubers were assayed for effectiveness against 10 isolates of Gibberella pulicaris. All antagonists reduced disease severity (35-81%) regardless of the specific assays conducted. However, when the antagonists' biomass were produced on two media that differed both in nutrient composition and phase, the efficacy ranking of antagonist Enterobacter sp. S11:P:08 varied from first to fourth most effective. For the antagonists studied, the phase of a nutritionally identical medium had little impact on the efficacy ranking of the five antagonists. Four of the five antagonists had efficacy rankings that ranged from first to last depending on the isolate of the pathogen used to conduct the bioassay. The cultivar of the host also caused variations in the efficacy ranking of the antagonists. These results indicate that bioassays should be conducted using a range of liquid culture production media, pathogen isolates, and host cultivars in order to choose an antagonist that has the highest likelihood for commercial development as an effective biological control product.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated whether nonelderly US adults (aged 18-64 years) in food-insecure households are more likely to report cost-related medication underuse than the food-secure, and whether the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse differs by gender, chronic disease, and health insurance status. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2011 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (n = 67 539). We examined the relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse with the χ² test and multivariate logistic regression with interaction terms. Results. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed a dose-response relationship between food insecurity and cost-related medication underuse, with an increasing likelihood of cost-related medication underuse with increasing severity of food insecurity (P<.001). This association was conditional on health insurance status, but not substantially different by gender or chronic disease status. Being female, low-income, having no or partial health insurance, chronic conditions, functional limitations, or severe mental illness were positively associated with cost-related medication underuse. Conclusions. Using food insecurity as a risk factor to assess cost-related medication underuse could help increase identification of individuals who may need assistance purchasing medications and improve health for those in food-insecure households.

AB  - The article explores the incidence and trends in food pathogens in ten U.S. areas based on the analysis of the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) from 2006 to 2014. In 2014 alone, FoodNet identified 19,542 cases of infections, majority of them were caused by Salmonella. Cases of Campylobacter infections were higher in 2014 than 2006-2008 period. About 53% of cases of postdiarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome occurred in children.

AB  - This article discusses various issues related to relation between genetics and race diversity in the U.S. With very rare exceptions, all citizenry of the US are immigrants. Despite attempts by the U.S. Census Bureau to expand its definitions, the term "race" does not describe most of Americans with the subtlety and complexity required to capture and appreciate their genetic diversity.  Although the list of ethical, legal and social issues related to genetics and racial diversity is long, perhaps none is as important as understanding how Americans' genetic endowments influence their many complex characteristics and defining the limits of these genetic contributions. Americans are much more than just the sum of their genes.

AB  - The premises underlying the article by Pollycove and Feinendegen are unlikely to generate disagreement among most scientists. The authors do a good job of reviewing the scientific literature on the importnat topic of radiation-induced versus endogenous DNA damage, and they use the available data to calculate numerical estimates and comparisons of DNA damages induced by radiation versus metabolic processes. However, these numbers should in no way be confused with proof or disproof of the involvement of specific biological mechanisms. Many important questions for low-dose radiobiology remain unanswered, and there is no substitute for experimental demonstration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Seafood was the first class of foods to fall under the 2002 US regulatory requirements for mandatory country-of-origin labelling (COOL). If this regulation created benefits for consumers, filling an information void by demanding information that the market did not, then there should have been an observable response in the demand for seafood. To gauge the impact, we examined markets most likely to respond. We estimated retail demand for shrimp, seafood that in the USA is largely sourced from Southeast Asia and has a history of raising food safety concerns. Our estimated demand systems included standard variables consistent with economic theory-price and expenditure changes, ongoing trends, and seasonality in consumption patterns. The demand systems also accounted for regulations that required country-of-origin labels for some, but not all, foods prior to COOL. Data came from a nationally representative panel of households that record retail food purchases, allowing us to construct relatively high-frequency market data suitable for testing for the presence of even short-lived impacts. Household demographic information allowed us to separately estimate demands by consumers most likely to respond to label information. The demand systems yielded reasonable price and expenditure elasticity estimates, but none of the variables related to COOL revealed evidence of an impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Lewis acid, titanium (IV) butoxide [15% (w/w; catalyst/reactants)], was used to catalyze the condensation of 0.05 mol glycerol with 0.10 mol of succinic acid, glutaric acid, and azelaic acid to produce oligomers. The reactions were refluxed in dilute solutions of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or dimethylformamide (DMF) for 24 h. The oligomers were obtained, on average, in 84% yield and were soluble in polar organic solvents. Analysis by gel permeation chromatography determined that the oligomers had a number of average molecular weights ( M) ranging from 2,118 to 3,245 g/mol, with degrees of polymerization (DOP) ranging from 12.2 to 13.4 repeat units. The oligomers had low polydispersities ( M /M) that averaged ≈1.33. Degrees of branching were determined by one-dimensional and two-dimensional H NMR and C NMR and varied from 25 to 80%. Like M and the DOP values, the degrees of branching were dependent on the aliphatic chain length of the diacid. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry was used to detect ionated species that were unique to branched molecules. It was also used to validate NMR studies that suggested that some diacids were terminated with dimethylamine, generated from the hydrolysis of DMF, by as much as 36%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Tomato seeds represent a very large waste by-product from the processing of tomatoes into products such as tomato juice, sauce and paste. One potential use for these seeds is as a source of vegetable oil. This research investigated the oil content of tomato seeds using several extraction techniques as well as an examination of the oil extracts to determine the composition of the minor constituents such as phytosterol and antioxidant composition. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of the tomato seed oils were also measured and correlated with antioxidant contents. This research demonstrated that tomato seed oil yield was highest using hot ethanol and followed by hot hexane and finally SC-CO2. The SC-CO2 treatment, however, had the highest total phytosterol content as well as highest individual phytosterol content. Sitosterol, cycloartanol, and stigmasterol were the most abundant phytosterols present in the extracts. The highest concentrations of antioxidants were found in the hexane extract. The most abundant antioxidants found in the tomato seed oils were all- trans-lycopene, cis-3-lycopene and β-carotene. ORAC was highest for the hexane extract. Oil yield was inversely proportional to both α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol content and positively correlated with cis-3-lycopene content. ORAC values were positively correlated with only all- trans-lycopene and cis-3-lycopene demonstrating their role as antioxidants in the tomato seed oil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Based on a modified Becker household consumption and production model and newly surveyed data set collected by the authors, this study investigated household expenditure on food away from home (FAFH) and its determinants in Beijing, China. A Box–Cox double-hurdle regression is estimated. The key findings suggest that household expenditure on dining out might be significantly underestimated when using the data most commonly used in food consumption research in China. Excluding hosted meals that are not paid for by individual consumers comprises nearly one half of the underestimation. Meanwhile, this exclusion could bias estimates of income effects on the demand for food away from home. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a dried residue that remains after the fermentation of grain mash by selected yeasts and enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide, is currently readily available and less expensive than other conventional protein sources on a per unit protein basis. The nutrient content and nutritional value of DDGS varies with the source and quality of the grains, fermentation time and efficiency, the drying process and the quantity of distiller's solubles added. In general, corn and wheat DDGS are deficient in lysine and methionine for tilapia, with lysine being the most limiting. Research evaluating the nutritional value of DDGS showed that 20-30% DDGS derived from corn or wheat can be included in tilapia diets without requiring lysine supplementation. With supplementation of lysine, DDGS at levels of 40% or higher can be used without affecting growth performance and feed utilization efficiency. Distiller's dried grains with solubles also contain yeast, a rich source of beta glucan and nucleotides that have been reported to enhance immunity and disease resistance in fish. Corn DDGS, owing to its high oil content, is rich in linoleic acid and is an excellent source of energy and essential fatty acids for tilapia. High concentrations of xanthophylls present in corn DDGS may impart yellow pigment in fish flesh if included at high levels. Taking into consideration various factors affecting the nutritional value of diets and the quality of pellet and fish products, 15-20% DDGS appears to be optimum in the diets of tilapia.

AB  - Throughout the past two decades, numerous studies characterized the greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions and net energy balance of corn ethanol production in the USA. A wide range of reported values resulted from differences in the vintage of the data used to evaluate the ethanol conversion technology and the agricultural practices of corn production, which evolved substantially during the rapid growth phase of the industry. Methodological differences in life cycle assessments also caused the reported values to vary widely. With corn dry mills growing from 30% of total installed ethanol production capacity in 1990 to 80-90% from 2006 to 2011, we document the evolution of this industry using vintage-specific data to analyze selected energy and environmental metrics, including GHG emissions, fossil energy use, direct land use, and GHG emissions reduction per hectare of land harvested for ethanol production. Our estimates indicate that production and use of corn ethanol emitted 44% fewer GHG emissions, consumed 54% less fossil energy and required 44% less land in 2010 compared to 1990 (on a life cycle basis). Our review and analysis point to strategies for reducing the carbon footprint of the corn dry mill industry by building on the progress already achieved. Using biomass (e.g. residues from corn production) for process heat or combined heat and power is one such strategy. Additional environmental benefits are projected from the adoption of integrated gasification combined cycle technology (using corn residues), which leads to energy-self-sufficient mills or net electricity producers depending on the power system configuration. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: A novel strain of anamorphic yeast, designated strain NRRL Y-27208(T), was isolated from concentrated grape juice in Cape Province, South Africa. Analysis of nuclear large subunit rRNA gene sequences from the D1/D2 domains separated the novel isolate from strains of Starmerella bombicola and Starmerella meliponinorum, as well as from species of the genus Candida that are members of the Starmerella clade. Compared to previously described species, strain NRRL Y-27208(T) is most closely related to S. bombicola but can be separated from this species by its ability to grow on D-ribose and erythritol. Strain NRRL Y-27208(T) produced sophorolipids that have an open chain structure similar to Candida batistae, Candida riodocensis and Candida stellata, which is in contrast to the closed chain sophorolipids produced by S. bombicola and Candida apicola. The analyses showed that NRRL Y-27208(T) (= CBS 7267(T)) represents a novel species distinct from previously described species, for which the name Candida kuoi sp. nov. is proposed

AB  - The need for a comprehensive collection of science information easily available to researchers and students has been well-documented in a range of studies since the 1940s. Today, information technology has raised the expectations of researchers for immediate, online access to information in the physical sciences. Believing that the researchers' expectations can be met by deploying current technology to provide an integrated networks of dispersed resources, the US Department of Energy Office of Science sponsored a May 2000 workshop to hear views on the feasibility from experts in the physical sciences and in science communication. Following the workshop, it was agreed that development of a strategy to achieve the vision was the next step, and a number of federal science agencies have formed an alliance to work together to make an interagency science portal (Science.gov) a reality. Progress was made in Spring and Summer 2001, but understanding the needs and benefits requires looking first at: (1) the underlying nature of research and scientific achievement; and (2) the multi-step evolution that needs to occur in the future.

AB  - We developed a rapid, economical method for high-resolution quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping using microarrays for selective genotyping of pooled DNA samples. We generated 21,207 F2 flies from two inbred Drosophila melanogaster strains with known QTLs affecting lifespan, and hybridized DNA pools of young and old flies to microarrays. We used changes of gene frequency of 2,326 single-feature polymorphisms (SFPs) to map previously identified and additional QTLs affecting lifespan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background and Aims: Using a genetic predisposition score (GPS), integrating the additive associations of a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with CHD, we examined the consequences of the joint presence of a high GPS and conventional risk factors (CRFs).Methods and Results: We studied 11 SNPs at eight loci in 197 participants with prior CHD and 524 CHD-free subjects from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. Each polymorphism contributed 1 unit (high-risk allele homozygous), 0.5 units (heterozygous) and 0 units (low-risk allele homozygous) to the GPS. Odds ratio (OR) of CHD for those at high risk because of GPS (>5) and simultaneous presence of CRFs were estimated, compared with subjects at low risk, for both measurements. The mean score was higher in participants with prior CHD than those CHD-free (P=0.015), and the OR for CHD with a GPS>5 was 2.90 (P<0.001).The joint presence of a high GPS and each CRF was associated with higher risk of CHD. Compared to participants with high GPS, those with low GPS (<or=5) were protected against CHD even if they were smokers (OR=0.44), heavy drinkers (OR=0.43), displayed low physical activity (OR=0.35), had hypertension (OR=0.52) or hyperlipidemia (OR=0.34) (P values ranging from 0.004 to 0.023).Conclusion: A simple genetic score of 11 polymorphisms may identify those subjects at increased risk of CHD beyond conventional risk factors.

AB  - Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) proteins interact functionally to regulate lipid metabolism, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for each gene have also been associated independently with obesity risk. Evaluating gene combinations may be more effective than single SNP analyses in identifying genetic risk, but insufficient minor allele frequency (MAF) often limits evaluations of potential epistatic relationships. Populations with multiple ancestral admixtures may provide unique opportunities for evaluating genetic interactions. We examined relationships between LPL m107 (rs1800590) and APOA5 S19W (rs3135506) and lipid and anthropometric measures in Caribbean origin Hispanics (n = 1,019, aged 45-75 years) living in the Boston metropolitan area. Significant interaction terms between LPL m107 and APOA5 S19W were observed for BMI (P = 0.003) and waist circumference (P = 0.019). Higher BMI (P = 0.001), waist (P = 0.011) and hip (P = 0.026) circumference were observed in minor allele (G) carriers for LPL m107 who also carried the APOA5 S19W minor allele (G). Additionally, extreme obesity (BMI > or = 40 kg/m(2)) risk was higher (odds ratio = 4.02; 95% confidence interval: 1.81-8.91; global P = 0.008) for minor allele carriers for both SNPs (LPL TG+GG, APOA5 CG+GG) compared to major allele carriers for both SNPs. In summary, we identified significant interactions for APOA5 S19W and LPL m107 for obesity in Caribbean Hispanics. Population-specific MAFs increase the difficulties of replicating gene-gene interactions, but may support the hypothesis that combinations of frequencies in selected genes could heighten obesity susceptibility in a given population. Analyses of gene-gene interactions may improve understanding of genetically based obesity risk, and underscore the need for further study of groups with multiple ancestral admixtures.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Low vitamin B-6 status has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The cardioprotective effects of vitamin B-6 independent of homocysteine suggest that additional mechanisms may be involved. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine the cross-sectional association of vitamin B-6 status with markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. DESIGN: We measured plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and an oxidative DNA damage marker, urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), in Puerto Rican adults who were living in Massachusetts (n = 1205, aged 45-75 y). RESULTS: There was a strong dose-response relation of plasma PLP concentration with plasma CRP. Increasing quartiles of PLP were significantly associated with lower CRP concentrations (geometric means: 4.7, 3.6, 3.1, and 2.5 mg/L; P for trend < 0.0001) and with lower urinary 8-OHdG concentrations (geometric means: 124, 124, 117, and 108 ng/mg creatinine; P for trend: 0.025) after multivariate adjustment. These negative associations persisted after plasma homocysteine was controlled for. Plasma PLP concentrations were significantly correlated with plasma fasting glucose (r = -0.1, P = 0.0006), glycated hemoglobin (r = -0.08, P = 0.006), and homeostasis model assessment of beta cell function (r = 0.082, P = 0.005). Metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes were also significantly associated with low plasma PLP concentrations (P = 0.011, 0.0007, and 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Low vitamin B-6 concentrations are associated with inflammation, higher oxidative stress, and metabolic conditions in older Puerto Rican adults. Our data suggest that vitamin B-6 may influence cardiovascular disease risk through mechanisms other than homocysteine and support the notion that nutritional status may influence the health disparities present in this population. © 2010 American Society for Nutrition.

AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of the present review is to evaluate the most recent evidence for a role of antioxidant nutrients in the prevention or delay in progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a major cause of visual impairment and blindness in the aging population. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent human studies (>2008) report a decreased AMD risk with increased intakes of lutein/zeaxanthin, B vitamins, zinc and docosahexaenoic acid but an increased risk with increased intakes of beta-carotene and vitamin E. These latter findings are inconsistent with previous reports (<2008). SUMMARY: Findings on the association of certain antioxidants and docosahexaenoic acid support a role for nutrition in a decreased risk of AMD. The inconsistent findings of an increased risk with increased intake of beta-carotene and vitamin E warrants continued investigation into these relationships.

AB  - Ecology is a leading discipline in the synthesis of diverse knowledge. Ecologists have had considerable experience in bringing together diverse, multinational data sets, disciplines, and cultural perspectives to address a wide range of issues in basic and applied science. Now is the time to build on this foundation and invest in ecological synthesis through new national or international programs. While synthesis takes place through many mechanisms, including individual efforts, working groups, and research networks, centers are extraordinarily effective institutional settings for advancing synthesis projects.

N2  - Background:  Schools are in a unique position to promote healthy dietary behaviors and help ensure appropriate nutrient intake. This article describes the characteristics of both school nutrition services and the foods and beverages sold outside of the school meals program in the United States, including state- and district-level policies and school practices. Methods:  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts the School Health Policies and Programs Study every 6 years. In 2006, computer-assisted telephone interviews or self-administered mail questionnaires were completed by state education agency personnel in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and among a nationally representative sample of school districts (n = 445). Computer-assisted personal interviews were conducted with personnel in a nationally representative sample of elementary, middle, and high schools (n = 944). Results:  Few states required schools to restrict the availability of deep-fried foods, to prohibit the sale of foods that have low nutrient density in certain venues, or to make healthful beverages available when beverages were offered. While many schools sold healthful foods and beverages outside of the school nutrition services program, many also sold items high in fat, sodium, and added sugars. Conclusions:  Nutrition services program practices in many schools continue to need improvement. Districts and schools should implement more food preparation practices that reduce the total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar content of school meals. In addition, opportunities to eat and drink at school should be used to encourage greater daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products.

AB  - A bioenergetics model was developed and applied to questions of habitat use and migration behavior of nonindigenous European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The model was parameterized using existing data from published studies on the ecology and physiology of C. maenas and allied brachyuran crabs. Simulations of the model were run describing four scenarios of habitat use and behavior during a 214-d simulation period (April-October) including crabs occupying mid littoral habitat, high littoral habitat, sublittoral habitat, and sublittoral habitat but undertaking intertidal migrations. Monthly trapping was done along an intertidal gradient in Willapa Bay to determine the actual distribution of crabs for the same time interval as the simulation period, and model results were compared to the observed pattern. Model estimates suggest no intrinsic energetic incentive for crabs to occupy littoral habitats since metabolic costs were c. 6% higher for these individuals than their sublittoral counterparts. Crabs in the littoral simulations were also less efficient than sublittoral crabs at converting consumed energy into growth. Monthly trapping revealed that C. maenas are found predominantly in mid littoral habitats of Willapa Bay and there is no evidence of resident sublittoral populations. The discrepancy intimates the significance of other factors, including interspecific interactions, that are not incorporated into the model but nonetheless increase metabolic demand. Agonistic encounters with native Dungeness crabs (Cancer magister) may be chief among these additional costs, and C. maenas may largely avoid interactions by remaining in littoral habitats neglected by native crabs, such as meadows of nonindigenous smooth cordgrass (Spartina alteniflora). Adult C. maenas in Willapa Bay may occupy tidal elevations that minimize such encounters, and metabolic costs, while simultaneously maximizing submersion time and foraging opportunities.

AB  - Background: Children with edematous but not nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) have lower plasma and erythrocyte-free concentrations of cysteine, the rate-limiting precursor of glutathione synthesis. We propose that these lower cysteine concentrations are due to reduced production secondary to slower de novo synthesis plus decreased release from protein breakdown. Objective: We aimed to measure cysteine production, de novo synthesis, and the rate of cysteine release from protein breakdown in children with SCU. Design: Cysteine flux, de novo synthesis, and release from protein breakdown were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n = 11) and nonedematous (n = 11) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they had recovered (clinical phase 3). Results: In clinical phase 1, cysteine production and its release from protein breakdown were slower in both groups of children than were the values in the recovered state. These kinetic variables were significantly slower, however, in the children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. De novo cysteine synthesis in clinical phase 1 was faster than the rate at recovery in the edematous SCU group, and there were no significant differences between the groups at any clinical phase. Conclusion: These findings suggest that cysteine production is reduced in all children with SCU because of a decreased contribution from protein breakdown and not from decreased de novo synthesis. The magnitude of this reduction, however, is much greater in children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Quantitation of human vitamin E metabolism is incomplete, so we quantified RRR- and all-rac-α-tocopherol metabolism in an adult. Objective: The objective of the study was to quantify and interpret in vivo human vitamin E metabolism. Design: A man was given an oral dose of 0.001821 μmol [5-14CH3]RRR-α-tocopheryl acetate (with 101.5 nCi 14C), and its fate in plasma, plasma lipoproteins, urine, and feces was measured over time. Data were analyzed and interpreted by using kinetic modeling. The protocol was repeated later with 0.001667 μmol [5-14CH3]all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate (with 99.98 nCi 14C). Results: RRR-α-tocopheryl acetate and all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate were absorbed equally well (fractional absorption: ≈ 0.775). The main route of elimination was urine, and≈ 90% of the absorbed dose was α-2(2'-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman. Whereas 93.8% ofRRR-α-tocopherol flow to liver kinetic poolBfrom plasma was returned to plasma, only 80% of the flow of all-rac-α- tocopherol returned to plasma; the difference (14%) was degraded and eliminated. Thus, for newly digested α-tocopherol, the all-rac form is preferentially degraded and eliminated over the RRR form. Respective residence times in liver kinetic pool A and plasma for RRR-α-tocopherol were 1.16 and 2.19 times as long as those for all-rac-α-tocopherol. Model-estimated distributions of plasma α-tocopherol, extrahepatic tissue α-tocopherol, and liver kinetic pool B for RRR-α-tocopherol were, respectively, 6.77, 2.71, and 3.91 times as great as those for all-rac-α-tocopherol. Of the lipoproteins, HDL had the lowest 14C enrichment. Liver had 2 kinetically distinct α-tocopherol pools. Conclusions: Both isomers were well absorbed; all-rac-α- tocopherol was preferentially degraded and eliminated in urine, the major route. RRR-α-tocopherol had a longer residence time and larger distribution than did all-rac-α-tocopherol. Liver had 2 distinct α-tocopherol pools. The model is a hypothesis, its estimates are model-dependent, and it encourages further testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As broad-scale cumulative effects become increasingly evident across certain landscapes, science points to the need for broader understanding of ecosystem processes, functions, and interrelationships upon which to base our management strategies. The resultant shift to ecosystem-based management has led to landscape assessments much larger in geographic scope than traditional planning efforts. Broad-scale assessments not only provide context for establishing relative priorities within large geographic areas but also provide for stepping down their science findings through fiber-scaled assessments that inform equivalent levels of planning and decision making. A systematic step-down process, such as one that was formalized for an innovative regional ecosystem project, allows managers to put local needs into broader perspective, ensuring more efficient investment of limited funding and personnel. This article provides a novel overview of the benefits of a step-down analysis and decision-making approach, describing a tiered assessment strategy linked to existing federal land use planning and decision hierarchies. Two particular assessment tools are summarized—one for mid-scale, or subbasin, assessments (400,000 to 1,000,000 hectares) and one for fine-scale, or watershed, assessments (5,000 to 50,000 hectares)—followed by an example of the use of tiered assessments to focus subsequent management attention.

AB  - Identifying the sequences that direct the spatial and temporal expression of genes and defining their function in vivo remains a significant challenge in the annotation of vertebrate genomes. One major obstacle is the lack of experimentally validated training sets. In this study, we made use of extreme evolutionary sequence conservation as a filter to identify putative gene regulatory elements, and characterized the in vivo enhancer activity of a large group of non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved in human–pufferfish, Takifugu (Fugu) rubripes, or ultraconserved in human–mouse–rat. We tested 167 of these extremely conserved sequences in a transgenic mouse enhancer assay. Here we report that 45% of these sequences functioned reproducibly as tissue-specific enhancers of gene expression at embryonic day 11.5. While directing expression in a broad range of anatomical structures in the embryo, the majority of the 75 enhancers directed expression to various regions of the developing nervous system. We identified sequence signatures enriched in a subset of these elements that targeted forebrain expression, and used these features to rank all ∼3,100 non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved between human and Fugu. The testing of the top predictions in transgenic mice resulted in a threefold enrichment for sequences with forebrain enhancer activity. These data dramatically expand the catalogue of human gene enhancers that have been characterized in vivo, and illustrate the utility of such training sets for a variety of biological applications, including decoding the regulatory vocabulary of the human genome.

AB  - Background: Lifestyle, diet, and physical and health predictors of xanthophyll carotenoids in the retina are poorly understood. Objective: We aimed to investigate the predictors of the density of lutein and zeaxanthin in the macula of the retina. Design: Macular pigment optical density (MPOD) was measured by heterochromatic flicker photometry. Relations to dietary lutein and zeaxanthin and to other predictors were measured in 1698 women aged 53-86 y. The women were members of observational study cohorts of the Women's Health Initiative at Iowa City, IA, Madison, WI, or Portland, OR, and participated in the Carotenoids in Age-Related Eye Disease Study (2001-2004). Results: MPOD at 0.5 degrees from the foveal center was 30% higher in women in the highest quintile for lutein and zeaxanthin intake [x (±SD): 0.40 ± 0.21] than in women in the lowest quintile (0.31 ± 0.21) and 20% higher after adjustment for other predictors. Dietary intake of lutein, zeaxanthin, fiber, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (% of energy) together explained 3% of the variability in MPOD. Higher waist circumference and diabetes, which are related to lower MPOD, together with study site explained an additional 5% of variation. The total explained variability increased to 12% when lutein and zexanthin concentrations obtained from the serum, which were collected 4-7 y earlier, were added to the model. Conclusions: MPOD is directly related to dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin but even more strongly to serum concentrations, which may reflect unmeasured physical and medical factors that influence the uptake, distribution, and utilization of lutein and zeaxanthin. Higher abdominal body fat and diabetes are related to lower MPOD. Unknown predictors of retinal carotenoids remain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The influenza pandemic of 1918–19 was responsible for about 50 million deaths worldwide. Modern histopathological analysis of autopsy samples from human influenza cases from 1918 revealed significant damage to the lungs with acute, focal bronchitis and alveolitis associated with massive pulmonary oedema, haemorrhage and rapid destruction of the respiratory epithelium. The contribution of the host immune response leading to this severe pathology remains largely unknown. Here we show, in a comprehensive analysis of the global host response induced by the 1918 influenza virus, that mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus displayed an increased and accelerated activation of host immune response genes associated with severe pulmonary pathology. We found that mice infected with a virus containing all eight genes from the pandemic virus showed marked activation of pro-inflammatory and cell-death pathways by 24 h after infection that remained unabated until death on day 5. This was in contrast with smaller host immune responses as measured at the genomic level, accompanied by less severe disease pathology and delays in death in mice infected with influenza viruses containing only subsets of 1918 genes. The results indicate a cooperative interaction between the 1918 influenza genes and show that study of the virulence of the 1918 influenza virus requires the use of the fully reconstructed virus. With recent concerns about the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses into humans and their potential to cause a worldwide pandemic with disastrous health and economic consequences, a comprehensive understanding of the global host response to the 1918 virus is crucial. Moreover, understanding the contribution of host immune responses to virulent influenza virus infections is an important starting point for the identification of prognostic indicators and the development of novel antiviral therapies.

AB  - Background: Diet is recognized as a key factor in the cause and management of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, policies to guide preventive clinical nutrition interventions of the condition are limited. Objectives: We examined the relation between dietary quality and incident MetS in adult women and identified foci for preventive nutrition interventions. Design: This was a prospective study of 300 healthy women (aged 30-69 y) in the Framingham Offspring-Spouse study who were free of MetS risk factors at baseline. The development of individual MetS traits and overall MetS status during 12 y of follow-up were compared in women by tertile of nutritional risk, based on intake of 19 nutrients. Multivariate logistic regression models considered age, smoking, physical activity, and menopausal status. Results: Baseline age-adjusted mean nutrient intake and ischemic heart disease risk profiles differed by tertile of nutritional risk. Women with higher nutritional risk profiles consumed more dietary lipids (total, saturated, and monounsaturated fats) and alcohol and less fiber and micronutrients; they had higher cigarette use and waist circumferences. Compared with women with the lowest nutritional risk, those in the highest tertile had a 2- to 3-fold risk of the development of abdominal obesity and overall MetS during 12 y of follow-up [odds ratio: 2.3 (95% CI: 1.2, 4.3) and 3.0 (95% CI: 1.2, 7.6), respectively]. Conclusions: Higher composite nutritional risk predicts the development of abdominal obesity and MetS during long-term follow-up in healthy women, independent of lifestyle and ischemic heart disease risk factors. Preventive nutrition interventions for obesity and MetS risk reduction should focus on the overall nutritional quality of women's dietary profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The internet has opened new opportunities for the distribution of systematic information. Advantages such as immediate worldwide distribution, affordable presentation of color illustrations, ease of updating the information, and low cost all suggest that the web is an ideal medium for the publication of taxonomic keys, descriptions, illustrations, and catalogues. Using examples from on-line interactive keys published on the web and the interactive key projects developed at the USDA ARS Systematic Botany and Mycology Laboratory (SBML), this paper presents important points to be considered in developing online interactive keys. These include the use of standard internet protocols, emphasis on images, and easy maintenance by scientists without intervention of IT staff. An additional technical point is that morphological data should be external to the key program. As a result, when data are changed or replaced, the system will automatically be updated. In addition, these data can be used for applications outside of the key. While the potential usefulness of internet keys and other on-line systematic information may be obvious, there are hurdles that must be overcome before there is any significant proliferation of on-line keys. Systematists must embrace the internet as a desirable publishing option, peer review and institutional reward systems must recognize the significance of non-paper publication, and systematists need to incorporate structured procedures for data collection.

AB  - Abstract: Chemical feeding repellents applied to ripening sunflower might help reduce blackbird (Icteridae) damage, which is a chronic agricultural problem from seed formation to harvest. However, costs are high to develop and register new repellents for agricultural use. In 2003 and 2004, we evaluated feeding repellency of 8 pesticides registered by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in sunflower. Caged red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) were fed unshelled sunflower seeds treated with the following pesticides: 5 pyrethroid insecticides, an organochlorine, an organophosphorus, and a fungicide. Compared to untreated reference groups, feeding rates were reduced for 4 of the 5 pyrethroid insecticides. Only the organophosphorus (chlorpyrifos), however, significantly decreased feeding rates. More research on repellency effects of this product in field efficacy trials is probably warranted based on the results of our cage experiments. Depending on timing of application, registered insecticides with blackbird feeding repellency could provide supplemental economic benefits to sunflower producers through dual purpose use.

AB  - Background: Physical activity energy expenditure (EE) is an important determinant of health, and epidemiologists have used various methods, such as physical activity and energy intake recalls and records, to estimate energy cost. However, most epidemiologic studies have not validated these methods against the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique for measuring EE. Objective: The aim was to compare EE estimated by 4 physical activity questionnaires with that obtained with the DLW technique in free-living postmenopausal women. Design: We measured EE in kcal/d using the DLW method, the Harvard Alumni questionnaire, the Five City Project questionnaire, the Cross-Cultural Activity Participation Study (CAPS) Four Week Activity Recall, and the CAPS Typical Week Activity Survey in 65 healthy postmenopausal women. Results: Compared with DLW, the Harvard Alumni questionnaire, the Five City Project questionnaire, and the CAPS Four Week Activity Recall overestimated (P < 0.05) daily EE by 62%, 16%, and 11%, respectively, whereas the CAPS Typical Week Activity Recall underestimated (P < 0.05) EE by 31%. Both the Harvard Alumni and Five City Project questionnaires overestimated EE in obese and overweight women. Conclusions: When using 3 of the 4 questionnaire methods, postmenopausal women overestimated EEs. Of all women, obese women overestimated daily EE the most. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: HIV lipodystrophy syndrome (HLS) is characterized by accelerated lipolysis, inadequate fat oxidation, increased hepatic reesterification, and a high frequency of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). The effect of growth hormone (GH) replacement on these lipid kinetic abnormalities is unknown. Objective: We aimed to measure the effects of physiologic GH replacement on lipid kinetics in men with HLS and GHD. Design: Seven men with HLS and GHD were studied with the use of infusions of [13C1]palmitate, [2H5]glycerol, and [2H3]leucine to quantify total and net lipolysis, palmitate and free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation, and VLDL apolipoprotein B-100 synthesis before and after 6 mo of GH replacement (maximum: 5 μg . kg-1 . d-1). Results: GH replacement decreased the rates of total lipolysis [FFAtotal rate of appearance (x ± SE): from 4.80 ± 1.24 to 3.32 ± 0.76 mmol FFA.kg fat-1 .h-1;P< 0.05] and net lipolysis (FFAnet rate of appearance: from 1.87 ± 0.34 to 1.20 ± 0.25 mmol FFA . kg fat-1 .h-1;P< 0.05). Fat oxidation decreased (from 0.28 ± 0.02 to 0.20 ± 0.02 mmol FFA .kg lean body mass-1 .h-1;P< 0.002), as did the rate of appearance of FFAs available for intrahepatic re-esterification (from 0.50 ± 0.13 to 0.29 ± 0.09 mmol FFA . kg fat-1 . h-1; P < 0.03). Fractional and absolute synthetic rates of VLDL apolipoprotein B-100 were unaltered. These kinetic changes were associated with a decrease in the waist-to-hip ratio but no significant change in fasting plasma lipid concentrations. Fasting plasma glucose concentrations increased aftertreatment(from5.2 ± 0.2 to 5.8 ± 0.3 mmol/L; P < 0.01). Conclusions: Physiologic GH replacement has salutary effects on abnormal lipid kinetics in HLS. The effects are mediated by diminished lipolysis and hepatic reesterification rather than by increased fat oxidation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide flux and dry deposition velocity were estimated using micrometeorological vertical gradient flux method at a commercial cattle feedyard of approximately 50,000 head of beef cattle and average 14.4 m²/head (150 ft²/head) stocking density. Ammonia-N and H2S-S loss had general diurnal patterns with the highest fluxes in daytime and lowest fluxes in nighttime that correlated to temperature changes and active evaporation process during daytime. The highest average deposition velocities also occurred during daytime with unstable atmospheric conditions and the lowest during nighttime with very stable conditions. There are exponential relationship between NH3-N flux and ambient temperature with R² = 0.57 for NH3 (NH3-N flux = - 1.46 + 7.96e0.077*Temperature) and R² = 0.22 for H2S-S (H2S-S flux = -0.75 + 0.8e-0.013*Temperature).

AB  - Background: It has been hypothesized that one factor associated with poor prognosis in kwashiorkor, but not in marasmus, is impaired lipid catabolism, which limits the supply of energy that is essential for survival when dietary intake is inadequate. However, this hypothesis has not been tested. Objective: The objective was to measure lipid kinetics in malnourished children with kwashiorkor or marasmus. Design: Glycerol concentration and flux (index of total lipolysis), palmitate concentration and flux (index of net lipolysis), and palmitate oxidation rate (index of fatty acid oxidation) were measured in 8 children (n = 5 boys and 3 girls) with kwashiorkor and 7 (n = 4 boys and 3 girls) with marasmus, aged 4-20 mo, in the postabsorptive state. The measurements were made ≈3 d after admission, when the children were malnourished, and after the children attained normal weight-for-length, ie, at recovery. Results: The glycerol concentration was higher in the malnourished stage than at recovery for the marasmus and kwashiorkor groups combined. Glycerol flux tended to be lower (P=0.067) and palmitate flux significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the kwashiorkor group than in the marasmus group. Palmitate oxidation was significantly lower in the malnourished stage than at recovery in the kwashiorkor group but not in the marasmus group. In the malnourished stage, palmitate oxidation was slower in the kwashiorkor group than in the marasmus group, but no significant differences between groups were observed at recovery. Conclusions: Children with kwashiorkor break down fat and oxidize fatty acids less efficiently than do children with marasmus; this factor may explain the better survival rate in marasmus.

AB  - The intestine of newborn pigs develops rapidly during the first days postpartum. We investigated if feeding milk replacer (infant formula) as an alternative to colostrum has compromising effects on nutrient digestive function in the neonatal period. Nineteen piglets born at termwere assigned to one of four treatments: (1) newborn controls; (2) natural suckling for 24h; (3) tube-fed formula for 24h; (4) tube-fed porcine colostrum for 24h. All three fed groups showed significant increases in small-intestinal and colonic weights, villous heights and widths, maltase and aminopeptidase A activities, and decreases in dipeptidylpeptidase IV activity, relative to newborn pigs. Following oral boluses of mannitol, lactose or galactose, formula-fed pigs showed significantly reduced plasma levels of mannitol and galactose compared with colostrum-fed pigs. Activity of intestinal inducible NO synthase and plasma levels of cortisol were significantly increased, whereas intestinal constitutive NO synthase and ??-tocopherol were decreased in formula-fed pigs compared with colostrum-fed pigs. Although formula-fed pigs only showed minor clinical signs of intestinal dysfunction and showed similar intestinal trophic responses just after birth, as those fed colostrum, lactose digestivecapacity was markedly reduced. We conclude that formula-feeding may exert detrimental effects on intestinal function in neonates. Formula-induced subclinical malfunction of the gut in pigsborn at term was associated with altered NO synthase activity and antioxidative capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Background: Little is known about the association between dietary carbohydrates and cataract in nondiabetic persons. Objective: The aim was to test whether recent dietary carbohydrate intakes or glycemic index (GI; a measure of carbohydrate intake quality) was associated with the presence of cortical or nuclear opacities. Design: A modified Block food-frequency questionnaire was used to obtain dietary information from 3377 participants (aged 60-80 y; 56%were women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). Lens status was evaluated by using the AREDS System for Classifying Cataracts. Associations were examined for eyes with only a single, or pure, type of lens opacity by using the generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the eyes of a person. Results: For participants in the highest quartile, dietary GI was associated with a higher prevalence of all pure nuclear opacities [grade >2; odds ratio (OR): 1.29; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.59; P for trend > 0.02] and moderate nuclear opacities (grade⩾4; OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.96, 2.14; P for trend = 0.052). The OR in a comparison of the highest with the lowest quartile of intake was 1.27 (95% CI: 0.99, 1.63; P for trend >0.09) for cortical opacities of any severity (>0% of area opaque), and the OR increased somewhat for moderate cortical opacities (>5% of area opaque; OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.00, 2.95; P for trend = 0.056). Conclusions: Results from the cross-sectional analysis of AREDS baseline data suggest that dietary glycemic quality and dietary carbohydrate quantity may be associated with prevalent nuclear and cortical opacities, respectively.

AB  - Abstract: The goals of this study were to document the development of ozone-induced foliar injury, on a leaf-by-leaf basis, and to develop ozone exposure relationships for leaf cohorts and individual tall milkweeds (Asclepias exaltata L.) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Plants were classified as either ozone-sensitive or insensitive based on the amount of foliar injury. Sensitive plants developed injury earlier in the season and to a greater extent than insensitive plants. Older leaf cohorts were more likely to belong to high injury classes by the end of each of the two growing seasons. In addition, leaf loss was more likely for older cohorts (2000) and lower leaf positions (2001) than younger cohorts and upper leaves, respectively. Most leaves abscised without prior ozone-like stippling or chlorosis. Failure to take this into account can result in underestimation of the effects of ozone on these plants.

AB  - Many landowners in the United States have little knowledge of the potential economic returns from agroforestry practices. Economic simulators for temperate agroforestry practices have been generated; yet, there are few data sets on yields of timber and other products to validate and refine such models. The objectives of this study were to characterize variations in nut yields among open canopy eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) trees and apply this information to the development of predictive equations between tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and nut yields. Three data sets were analyzed that included results from Tennessee; Chetopa, Kansas; and Mt Vernon, Missouri. Tree-to-tree variation in nut yields was high within each data set, with coefficients of variation for nut yields typically exceeding 50%. Averaging nut yields over several consecutive years reduced coefficients of variation. Nearly half of the high nut producing trees exhibited an alternate, biennial nut bearing pattern. Trees with low average nut yields had either sporadic or irregular patterns of nut bearing. The regression coefficients for equations relating stem diameter and nut yields varied considerably. Averaging nut yields over consecutive years, and averaging stem diameter and nut yields over a number of trees increased regression coefficients of such equations. These results indicate that predicting nut yields of a tree stand over a several year-period will be easier than predicting yields for a specific tree in a specific year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Oxidative stress during HIV infection may impair immune function, cause more rapid disease progression, and increase requirements for dietary antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. Objectives: The study had 2 principal objectives. The first was to ascertain whether HIV infection and immune activation were associated with lower plasma concentrations of ascorbate, urate, and α- and γ-tocopherols and with total antioxidant status (TAS). The second objective was to ascertain whether these antioxidants were associated with protection against oxidative damage. Design: This was a cross-sectional study involving 241 HIV positive and 115 HIV-negative subjects aged 14-23 y. Subjects were primarily female (76%) and African American (70%), and 21% were Hispanic. Results: Plasma ascorbate was significantly lower, butγ-tocopherol and TAS were significantly higher in subjects with HIV infection when the analysis was adjusted for dietary intake and sex. Plasma α-tocopherol did not differ significantly by HIV status. Plasma γ-tocopherol also was higher in subjects with oxidative damage than in those without such damage. More than 90% of subjects had adequate plasma concentrations for both ascorbate and α-tocopherol, although α-tocopherol concentrations were lower than expected on the basis of third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Conclusions: Low plasma ascorbate concentrations in HIV positive subjects suggest that vitamin C requirements are significantly higher in those with HIV infection. Plasma tocopherol concentrations were not depressed by HIV infection and may be maintained by compensatory mechanisms such as the activity of α-tocopherol transfer protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Epidemiologic studies of choline and betaine intakes have been sparse because a food-composition database was not available until recently. The physiologic relevance of a variation in dietary choline and betaine in the general population and the validity of intake assessed by food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) have not been evaluated. Objective: This study was conducted to examine the physiologic relevance and validity of choline and betaine intakes measured by an FFQ. Design: We examined the relations between choline and betaine intakes measured by FFQ and plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations in 1960 participants from the Framingham Offspring Study. Results: Higher intakes of dietary choline and betaine were related to lower tHcy concentrations independent of other determinants, including folate and other B vitamins. For the lowest and highest quintiles of dietary choline plus betaine, the multivariate geometric means for tHcy were 10.9 and 9.9 μmol/L (P for trend < 0.0001). The inverse association was manifested primarily in participants with low folate intakes (P for interaction < 0.0001). Among participants with folate intakes ⩽250 μg/d, the geometric mean tHcy concentrations in the lowest and highest quintiles of choline plus betaine intakes were 12.4 and 10.2 μmol/L (P for trend < 0.0001). Except for choline from phosphatidylcholine, individual forms of choline were inversely associated with tHcy concentrations. Conclusions: Our findings provide support for a physiologically important variation in choline and betaine intakes in the general population and for the validity of intake measured by FFQ.

AB  - Background: Several dietary factors have been linked to agerelated maculopathy (ARM), the early form of age-related macular degeneration, and there is reason to think that dietary carbohydrate may play a role in the development of ARM. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relation between dietary carbohydrate quality, as measured by dietary glycemic index (GI) or total carbohydrate intake, and ARM. Design: From the Nurses' Health Study, 1036 eyes from 526 Boston-area participants without a previous ARM diagnosis were included in the present study. The presence and degree of ARM were classified by the Age-Related Eye Diseases Study system. Long-term dietary information was based on data from an average of 4 food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 10-y period before the assessment of ARM. With eyes as the unit of analysis, we used a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios for ARM in a manner that accounted for the lack of independence between the 2 eyes from the same subject. Results: After multivariate adjustment, dietary GI was related to ARM (specifically to retinal pigmentary abnormalities), whereas total carbohydrate intake was not. The odds ratio for ARM being in the highest tertile of dietary GI (⩾77.0) versus the lowest (<74.6) was 2.71 (95% CI: 1.24, 5.93; P for trend=0.01). Neither dietary GI nor total carbohydrate intake was related to drusen. Conclusion: Our results suggest that dietary GI may be an independent risk factor for ARM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Single-nucleotide polymorphisms are an integral component of the evolutionary process that over millennia have resulted from the interaction between the environment and the human genome. Relatively recent changes in diet have upset this interaction with respect to the nutritional environment, but nutritional science is beginning to better understand the interaction between genes and diet, with the resulting potential to influence cardiovascular disease risk by dietary modification. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in several genes have been linked to differential effects in terms of lipid metabolism; however, even a simple model of benefit and risk is difficult to interpret in terms of dietary advice to carriers of the various alleles because of conflicting interactions between different genes. The n-3 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids is underrepresented in our modern diet; much of the benefit of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in studies of various polymorphisms seems to be linked to increased n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake. The nascent science of nutrigenomics faces many challenges; more and better research is needed to clarify the picture, rebut scepticism, and reinvigorate the discussion concerning genetic polymorphism and its interaction with diet.

AB  - Thirty years have been added to the average life expectancy of Americans over the past century. It is a reasonable expectation that Americans will achieve an average life span of ⩾100 y within this century. The most dramatic decreases in early-life and midlife mortality coincided with advances in medicine; curative medicine has played a lesser role. The aging of the population alone has already increased health care costs, and as we move toward even longer lives, these costs will likely increase even more. Therefore, establishing and safeguarding optimal health from early life must become increasingly important concerns for governments and health care providers if they are to allocate resources wisely and ensure and maintain a high quality of life in the population. A prevention-oriented, life cycle approach is critical to establishing and maintaining health throughout life. This approach can delay and compress morbidity and the social toll associated with chronic disease and disability for as long as possible into old age. Good evidence exists that early nutrition affects key risk factors for chronic degenerative diseases of middle and later life, such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The influence of nutrition on health status and morbidity supports primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of disease and intervention strategies at each point in the process. The objective of such a prevention-oriented model is to enable people to live well for longer, while minimizing chronic disability. Starting down the right path with appropriate nutrition and staying on it by eating well are important components of healthy aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Design: Stable calcium isotopes were administered to 10 Brazilian women during early pregnancy (EP; weeks 10-12 of gestation), late pregnancy (LP; weeks 34-36 of gestation), and early lactation (EL; 7-8 wk postpartum). Multicompartmental modeling was used to assess the rates of bone calcium turnover in relation to calcium intakes and circulating concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH), insulin-like growth factor 1, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Results: Rates of bone calcium deposition increased significantly from EP to LP (P ⩽ 0.001) and were significantly associated with serum PTH during LP (P⩽0.01). Rates of bone calcium resorption were also higher during LP and EL than during EP (P ⩽ 0.01) and were associated with both PTH (P ⩽ 0.01) and IGF-1 (P ⩽ 0.05) during LP but not during EL. Net balance in bone calcium turnover was positively associated with dietary calcium duringEP(P⩽0.01), LP (P⩽0.01), and EL (P⩽0.01). The mean (±SD) calcium intake was 463 ± 182 mg/d and, in combination with insulin-like growth factor 1, explained 68-94% of the variability in net bone calcium balance during pregnancy and lactation. Conclusions: Net deficits in bone calcium balance occurred during pregnancy and lactation. Increased dietary calcium intake was associated with improved calcium balance; therefore, greater calcium intakes may minimize bone loss across pregnancy and lactation in women with habitual intakes of <500 mg calcium/d.

AB  - Background: Whole-grain intake has been inversely associated with the metabolic syndrome in middle-aged populations, but the association has not been investigated in older adults. The metabolic consequence of consuming high whole-grain diets may differ in elderly persons, who are prone to greater insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the cross-sectional association between whole- and refined-grain intake, cardiovascular disease risk factors, prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease mortality in the same cohort of older adults. Design: The nutritional status of 535 healthy persons aged 60-98 y was determined from 1981 to 1984. The subjects kept a 3-d food record and had their blood tested for metabolic risk factors. The metabolic syndrome was defined based on criteria set by the third report of the National Cholesterol Education Program. The vital status of the subjects was identified in October 1995. Results: The results showed a significant inverse trend between whole-grain intake and the metabolic syndrome (P for trend = 0.005) and mortality from cardiovascular disease (P for trend = 0.04), independent of demographic, lifestyle, and dietary factors. Fasting glucose concentrations and body mass index decreased across increasing quartile categories of whole-grain intake (P for trend = 0.01 and 0.03, respectively), independent of confounders, whereas intake of refined grain was positively associated with higher fasting glucose concentrations (P for trend = 0.04) and a higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (P for trend = 0.01). Conclusion: Whole-grain intake is a modifiable dietary risk factor, and older and young adults should be encouraged to increase their daily intake to ⩾3 servings/d. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Poor bioavailability of zinc from high-phytate diets is an important contributory factor to zinc deficiency in low-income populations. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of low-phytate maize consumption on zinc absorption. Design: The participants were apparently healthy children from the Central Highlands of Guatemala. Sixty children (20 per group) were randomly assigned to be fed only the low-phytate maize or 1 of 2 control maizes, the isohybrid wild-type maize or a local maize, for a 10-wk period. During the final week, the fractional absorption of zinc for all meals was measured during 1 d with the use of zinc stable isotopes and a dual isotope ratio technique based on urine enrichment data. Results: Mean ( + SD) phytate intakes for the low-phytate, wild-type, and local maize groups were 1536 ± 563, 2056 ± 517, and 2253 ± 687 mg/d, respectively. Corresponding zinc intakes were 8.6 ± 2.5, 8.1 ± 2.0, and 9.7 ± 2.6 mg/d, and the dietary phytate:zinc molar ratios were 18 ± 5, 26 ± 6, and 23 ± 5. Corresponding fractional absorptions of zinc were 0.32 ± 0.07, 0.28 ± 0.07, and 0.29 ± 0.06. The respective values for total absorbed zinc were 2.72 ± 0.88, 2.30 ± 0.96, and 2.78 ± 1.04 mg/d. No significant differences in either the fractional absorption of zinc or total absorbed zinc were seen between the maize groups. Conclusion: Under the conditions of the present study, zinc absorption was not increased by the long-term use of low-phytate maize in children whose major dietary staple is maize.

AB  - Sixteen accessions of Curcuma germplasm that included C alismatifolia ‘Chiang Mai Pink’, and ‘Lady Di’ and C. thorelii ‘Chiang Mai Snow’ and C. alismatifolia ‘Pink’, C parviflora ‘White Angel’, and C sp. ‘CMU Pride’ were evaluated for use as potted plants or as cut flowers. All cultivars of C alismatifolia and C. thorelii ‘Chiang Mai Snow’ were considered suitable for cut-flower and pot-plant use, respectively. C. parviflora ‘White Angel’ also proved to be a suitable cultivar for potted plant production. Optimum storage temperatures for rhizomes in relation to greenhouse forcing and ethanol-soluble glucose, fructose and sucrose concentrations were determined. Storing rhizomes at 25° – 30°C for 2 – 3 months after harvest is recommended to break dormancy. Plants of C. parviflora ‘White Angel’ flowered 50 – 89 d after potting and can be used as potted plants. Plants of C. alismatifolia flowered 96 – 133 d after potting, with floral stem-lengths suitable as cut flowers. High levels of boron or manganese were correlated with bum symptoms at the margins of the leaves [‘leaf-margin burn’ (‘LMB’)] and were observed in old leaves of ‘CMU Pride’ at flowering. Levels of ethanol-soluble fructose, glucose and sucrose in the tuberous roots of Curcuma were higher than the levels in rhizomes, and increased as storage temperatures increased. Accelerated leaf emergence from rhizomes stored at 30°C took 16 d and was associated with increases in glucose and fructose contents. Very similar morphological characters between C thorelii ‘Chiang Mai Snow’ and C. parviflora ‘White Angel’ emphasised that identification of Curcuma accessions using DNA-markers is required for future studies.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The benefit of the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern in mitigating metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease has not been well investigated among nondiabetic Americans. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the prospective association between the Mediterranean-style dietary pattern and metabolic syndrome. DESIGN: The Mediterranean-style dietary pattern score (MSDPS) was used to characterize a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. We examined the longitudinal association between MSDPS and metabolic syndrome traits (including homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, fasting glucose, waist circumference, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure) among 2730 participants of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort without type 2 diabetes (baseline median age: 54 y; 55% women), who were followed from the fifth (baseline) to the seventh study examinations (mean follow-up time: 7 y), and metabolic syndrome incidence (according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III definition) in 1918 participants free of the condition at baseline. RESULTS: A higher MSDPS was associated with lower homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (P = 0.02), waist circumference (P < 0.001), fasting plasma glucose (P = 0.03), and triglycerides (P < 0.001) and higher HDL cholesterol (P = 0.02) after adjustment for the corresponding baseline values and for several confounding factors associated with type 2 diabetes risk. Participants in the highest quintile category of the MSDPS had a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome than those in the lowest quintile category (38.5% compared with 30.1%; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the consumption of a diet consistent with the principles of the Mediterranean-style diet may protect against metabolic syndrome in Americans.

AB  - Background: It is assumed that moderate exercise may improve resistance to infection and reduce inflammation, but there are limited data to support this assumption in an infection model.Methods: BALB/cJ mice were assigned to the following groups: no exercise (NON-EX), 1 session of acute exercise (A-EX), or chronic exercise for approximately 3.5 months (C-EX). Mice were infected with influenza (C-EX mice infected at rest; A-EX mice infected 15 min after exercise).Results: C-EX mice demonstrated the lowest severity of infection, assessed by body weight loss and food intake. There was less virus in the lungs at day 5 after infection in C-EX and A-EX mice compared with NON-EX mice (P = .02) and less virus at day 2 after infection only in C-EX mice (P = .07). Soon after infection (day 2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta, and tumor necrosis factor alpha in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were lower in C-EX and A-EX than in NON-EX mice. At day 5 after infection, the BAL fluid from C-EX (but not A-EX) mice had less IL-6, interleukin 12p40, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, keratinococyte-derived chemokine, and MCP-1 than that from NON-EX mice. A trend toward reduced immunopathologic response was found in C-EX mice.Conclusions: Chronic exercise resulted in reduced symptoms, virus load, and levels of inflammatory cytokine and chemokines. Acute exercise also showed some benefit, which was limited to the early phase of infection.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Isoflavones are naturally occurring plant estrogens that are abundant in soy. Although purported to protect against bone loss, the efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation in the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to test the effect of soy isoflavone supplementation on bone health. DESIGN: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 24-mo trial was conducted to assess the effects of daily supplementation with 80 or 120 mg of soy hypocotyl aglycone isoflavones plus calcium and vitamin D on bone changes in 403 postmenopausal women. Study subjects were tested annually and changes in whole-body and regional bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and T scores were assessed. Changes in serum biochemical markers of bone metabolism were also assessed. RESULTS: After study site, soy intake, and pretreatment values were controlled for, subjects receiving a daily supplement with 120 mg soy isoflavones had a statistically significant smaller reduction in whole-body BMD than did the placebo group both at 1 y (P < 0.03) and at 2 y (P < 0.05) of treatment. Smaller decreases in whole-body BMD T score were observed among this group of women at 1 y (P < 0.03) but not at 2 y of treatment. When compared with the placebo, soy isoflavone supplementation had no effect on changes in regional BMD, BMC, T scores, or biochemical markers of bone metabolism. CONCLUSION: Daily supplementation with 120 mg soy hypocotyl isoflavones reduces whole-body bone loss but does not slow bone loss at common fracture sites in healthy postmenopausal women. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00665860. Copyright © 2009 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Reduced rank regression (RRR) has been used to derive dietary pattern scores that predict linear combinations of disease biomarkers. The generalizability of these patterns to independent populations remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: The goal was to examine the generalizability of dietary patterns from the following prior studies using RRR to predict type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Germany (EPIC), and Whitehall II Study (WS). DESIGN: The relative weights of food groups of each dietary pattern were used to generate each dietary pattern score in the Framingham Offspring Study (n = 2879). Each of the external scores (confirmatory scores) was examined to determine whether it could predict incident T2DM during 7 y of follow-up as well as scores developed internally in the Framingham Offspring Study using a Cox-proportional hazard model adjusted for T2DM risk factors. RESULTS: Intakes of meat products, refined grains, and soft drinks (caloric and noncaloric) were found to be common predictive components of all confirmatory scores, but fried foods, eggs, and alcoholic beverages were predictive in some, but not in all, confirmatory scores. On the basis of a continuous increase in the score by 1 SD, the NHS-based confirmatory score predicted T2DM risk (hazard ratio: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.66). However, T2DM risk was only weakly predicted by the EPIC-based score (hazard ratio: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.99, 1.32) and the WS-based score (hazard ratio: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.35). CONCLUSIONS: The study suggested that dietary patterns that predict T2DM risk in different populations may not be generalizable to different populations. Additional dietary pattern studies should be conducted with regard to generalizability. © 2009 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, between 30 and 50 million Americans have the potential for lactose-intolerance symptoms. However, lactose-intolerance prevalence rates in practical life settings may be lower than originally suggested. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-reported lactose intolerance among a national sample of European American (EA), African American (AA), and Hispanic American (HA) adults. A nationally representative sample of randomly generated telephone numbers was purchased from a commercial sample provider. A nationally representative sample of randomly selected telephone numbers were called from the Survey Research Unit's Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing facility at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Interviews were completed by a total of 1,084 respondents between the ages of 19 and 70 years with 486 EAs, 355 AAs, and 243 HAs. The response rate was 24.2%, and the cooperation rate was 34.2%. The age-adjusted lactose-intolerance prevalence estimates were 7.72%, 19.50%, and 10.05% for EAs, AAs, and HAs, respectively. For all respondents in the sample, the crude and age-adjusted self-reported lactose-intolerance prevalence rates were 13.38% and 12.04%, respectively. These results indicate that the prevalence of perceived lactose intolerance is significantly lower than what has been previously estimated. Health professionals need to be aware of the misrepresentation of currently estimated lactose-intolerance rates and should continue to encourage individuals with lactose intolerance to consume dairy foods first to help meet key nutrient recommendations with proper guidance and education

AB  - The ability to interpret epidemiologic observations is limited because of potential residual confounding by correlated dietary components. Dietary pattern analyses by factor analysis or partial least squares may overcome the limitation. To examine confounding by dietary pattern as well as standard risk factors and selected nutrients, the authors modeled the longitudinal association between alcohol consumption and 7-year risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in 2,879 healthy adults enrolled in the Framingham Offspring Study (1991-2001) by Cox proportional hazard models. After adjustment for standard risk factors, consumers of > or =9.0 drinks/week had a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with abstainers (hazard ratio = 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.27, 0.81). Adjustment for selected nutrients had little effect on the hazard ratio, whereas adjustment for dietary pattern variables by factor analysis significantly shifted the hazard ratio away from null (hazard ratio = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.17, 0.64) by 40.0% (95% CI: 16.8, 57.0; P = 0.002). Dietary pattern variables by partial least squares showed similar results. Therefore, the observed inverse association, consistent with past studies, was confounded by dietary patterns, and this confounding was not captured by individual nutrient adjustment. The data suggest that alcohol intake, not dietary patterns associated with alcohol intake, is responsible for the observed inverse association with type 2 diabetes mellitus risk.

AB  - BACKGROUND: A premise of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) is chronic disease prevention. OBJECTIVE: The goal was to determine whether a diet meeting the DGA is associated with less atherosclerotic lesion progression. DESIGN: We used the data from 224 postmenopausal women with established coronary artery disease enrolled in the Estrogen Replacement and Atherosclerosis Study. Atherosclerosis progression was defined by repeated measures of quantitative angiography over a 3-y period. Adherence to the key DGA recommendations was measured by using the DGA Adherence Index (DGAI; possible range: 0-20), with each component weighted equally, and the modified DGAI score (wDGAI; possible range: -0.19-0.51), with each component weighted based on its relation to atherosclerosis progression. Mixed-model regression analyses were performed to assess the association between diet and atherosclerosis progression. RESULTS: No women consumed a diet meeting all of the DGA recommendations. The mean (range) of the DGAI score was 14.1 (8.0-19.0). DGAI was not associated with atherosclerosis progression (P = 0.44), whereas wDGAI was inversely associated; a 1-SD difference in wDGAI was related to 0.049-mm less narrowing of the coronary arteries (SE = 0.017, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: In postmenopausal women with established heart disease, under the assumption that all DGA recommendations are similarly effective, overall adherence was not associated with atherosclerosis progression. However, assigning differential weights to the DGA recommendations, the adherence was significantly associated with slower atherosclerosis progression. Assuming equity of associations between all dietary recommendations and disease outcomes is a limitation in accurately examining the effectiveness of the DGA. © 2009 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Selenium, a potential cancer prevention agent currently being tested against prostate cancer in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT), plays an integral role in thyroid metabolism. The effects of long-term selenium supplementation on thyroid hormone concentrations are unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate the effects of long-term selenium supplementation on thyroid hormone concentrations. DESIGN: Twenty-eight healthy adults took 200 microg selenomethionine/d for 28 mo. The thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyrotropin (TSH) were measured in plasma for 4 mo before supplementation and quarterly during supplementation. The assay methods were changed midstudy; the results of the 2 methods were not comparable. Therefore, one analysis was conducted based on the results of the first method, and a second analysis was based on all of the data, adjusted for the change. Serial data collection permitted a test for trends rather than simply a difference between initial and final values. RESULTS: By 9 mo, mean (+/-SEM) plasma selenium concentrations had increased from 1.78 +/- 0.07 micromol/L at baseline to 2.85 +/- 0.11 micromol/L for men and from 1.64 +/- 0.04 to 3.32 +/- 0.1.2 micromol/L for women. T3 concentrations in men increased 5% per year (P = 0.01). T4 and TSH concentrations were unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: Selenium supplementation produced no clinically significant changes in thyroid hormone concentrations. A small but statistically significant increase in T3 concentrations was noted in men, with no corresponding decreases in TSH. A subset of SELECT subjects might be monitored periodically for changes during long-term selenium supplementation. (c) 2009 by the American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Five genes--UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, and DUT--are involved in the repair or prevention of uracil misincorporation into DNA, an anomaly that can cause mutagenic events that lead to cancer. Little is known about the determinants of uracil misincorporation, including the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the abovementioned genes. Because of their metabolic function, folate and other one-carbon micronutrients may be important factors in the control of uracil misincorporation. OBJECTIVES: We sought to identify polymorphisms in uracil-processing genes that are determinants of DNA uracil concentration and to establish whether one-carbon nutrient status can further modify their effects. DESIGN: We examined the relations between 23 selected variants in the 5 uracil-processing genes, uracil concentrations in whole-blood DNA, and one-carbon nutrient (folate, vitamins B-6 and B-12, and riboflavin) status in 431 participants of the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. RESULTS: Four SNPs in DUT, UNG, and SMUG1 showed a significant association with DNA uracil concentration. The SNPs in SMUG1 (rs2029166 and rs7296239) and UNG (rs34259) were associated with increased uracil concentrations in the variant genotypes (P = 0.011, 0.022, and 0.045, respectively), whereas the DUT SNP (rs4775748) was associated with a decrease (P = 0.023). In this population, one-carbon nutrient status was not associated with DNA uracil concentration, and it did not modify the effect of these 4 identified SNPs. CONCLUSION: Because elevated uracil misincorporation may induce mutagenic lesions, possibly leading to cancer, we propose that the 4 characterized SNPs in DUT, UNG, and SMUG1 may influence cancer risk and therefore deserve further investigation.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. A preventive role for vitamin K in CAC progression has been proposed on the basis of the properties of matrix Gla protein (MGP) as a vitamin K-dependent calcification inhibitor. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the effect of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) supplementation on CAC progression in older men and women. DESIGN: CAC was measured at baseline and after 3 y of follow-up in 388 healthy men and postmenopausal women; 200 received a multivitamin with 500 microg phylloquinone/d (treatment), and 188 received a multivitamin alone (control). RESULTS: In an intention-to-treat analysis, there was no difference in CAC progression between the phylloquinone group and the control group; the mean (+/-SEM) changes in Agatston scores were 27 +/- 6 and 37 +/- 7, respectively. In a subgroup analysis of participants who were > or =85% adherent to supplementation (n = 367), there was less CAC progression in the phylloquinone group than in the control group (P = 0.03). Of those with preexisting CAC (Agatston score > 10), those who received phylloquinone supplements had 6% less progression than did those who received the multivitamin alone (P = 0.04). Phylloquinone-associated decreases in CAC progression were independent of changes in serum MGP. MGP carboxylation status was not determined. CONCLUSIONS: Phylloquinone supplementation slows the progression of CAC in healthy older adults with preexisting CAC, independent of its effect on total MGP concentrations. Because our data are hypothesis-generating, further studies are warranted to clarify this mechanism. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00183001.

AB  - BACKGROUND: No evidence-based recommendations exist concerning what dietary macronutrient composition optimizes weight loss during lactation while maintaining milk production. OBJECTIVES: The study was designed to test the following hypotheses: compared with a reduced-calorie, high-carbohydrate (H-CHO) diet, an isonitrogenous, isocaloric high-fat (H-F) diet will decrease milk production and carbohydrate oxidation, increase gluconeogenesis and hexoneogenesis, and not affect energy balance. DESIGN: Seven healthy lactating mothers and their infants were studied on 2 occasions in random order for 8 d separated by 1-2 wk. On one occasion, the subjects received the H-F (30% of energy as carbohydrate and 55% as fat) diet and on the other occasion received the H-CHO (60% of energy as carbohydrate and 25% as fat) diet. Milk production, infant intakes, and substrate and hormone concentrations were measured. Glucose rates of appearance, production, gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and hexoneogenesis were measured by using stable-isotope gas chromatography-mass spectrometric techniques, and energy expenditure and substrate oxidation were measured by using indirect calorimetry. RESULTS: Milk volume, lactose, and protein concentrations were unaffected. Milk fat, energy, and infant intakes were higher (P < 0.05) during the H-F diet. Neither gluconeogenesis nor hexoneogenesis was different. During the H-F diet, energy expenditure and fat and protein oxidation rates were higher (P < 0.05), and the daily energy balance deficit was greater (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Milk fat, energy output, and energy expenditure were higher during the H-F diet, which resulted in a greater negative energy balance. The lactating mothers adapted to a low carbohydrate intake by decreasing carbohydrate oxidation. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether a hypocaloric H-F diet might promote weight loss to a greater extent than the H-CHO diet while maintaining milk production.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Iron excretion measured by isotope dilution has been a primary basis for the factorial derivation of recommendations for iron intake, but the results have been available for men only. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to confirm iron excretion measurements in healthy men and extend them to women. DESIGN: The turnover rate of 55Fe that had been administered > or =1 y earlier was determined from blood sampled semiannually for up to 3 y from 53 subjects in the community. Body iron was determined from hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and transferrin receptor. Complete menstrual collections were obtained from 13 women. RESULTS: The total median (range) iron excretion was 1.18 (0.11-2.07) mg/d for 29 men, 1.58 (0.65-4.88) mg/d for 19 menstruating women, and 0.99 (0.86-1.57) for 5 postmenopausal women. When hormonal contraceptive users were omitted, the median for 15 menstruating women increased to 1.66 mg/d. The distribution of iron excretion was normal for the men and postmenopausal women and was highly skewed for the menstruating women; menstrual iron accounted for 90% of the variation. Iron excretion was not strongly related to body weight. Body iron in menstruating women decreased somewhat (by 4.6%) in the men and tended to increase (by 1.5%) during the study. CONCLUSIONS: The results extend direct iron excretion measurements in men to include similar measurements in women. The results emphasize the wide range of iron excretion in humans, which results in a 40-fold range of requirements for absorbed iron. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00755105.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Genetically engineered 'Golden Rice' contains up to 35 microg beta-carotene per gram of rice. It is important to determine the vitamin A equivalency of Golden Rice beta-carotene to project the potential effect of this biofortified grain in rice-consuming populations that commonly exhibit low vitamin A status. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsically labeled dietary Golden Rice in humans. DESIGN: Golden Rice plants were grown hydroponically with heavy water (deuterium oxide) to generate deuterium-labeled [2H]beta-carotene in the rice grains. Golden Rice servings of 65-98 g (130-200 g cooked rice) containing 0.99-1.53 mg beta-carotene were fed to 5 healthy adult volunteers (3 women and 2 men) with 10 g butter. A reference dose of [13C10]retinyl acetate (0.4-1.0 mg) in oil was given to each volunteer 1 wk before ingestion of the Golden Rice dose. Blood samples were collected over 36 d. RESULTS: Our results showed that the mean (+/-SD) area under the curve for the total serum response to [2H]retinol was 39.9 +/- 20.7 microg x d after the Golden Rice dose. Compared with that of the [13C10]retinyl acetate reference dose (84.7 +/- 34.6 microg x d), Golden Rice beta-carotene provided 0.24-0.94 mg retinol. Thus, the conversion factor of Golden Rice beta-carotene to retinol is 3.8 +/- 1.7 to 1 with a range of 1.9-6.4 to 1 by weight, or 2.0 +/- 0.9 to 1 with a range of 1.0-3.4 to 1 by moles. CONCLUSION: Beta-carotene derived from Golden Rice is effectively converted to vitamin A in humans. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00680355.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The effect of meat protein on calcium retention at different calcium intakes is unresolved. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to test the effect of dietary protein on calcium retention at low and high intakes of calcium. DESIGN: In a randomized controlled feeding study with a 2 x 2 factorial crossover design, healthy postmenopausal women (n = 27) consumed either approximately 675 or approximately 1510 mg Ca/d, with both low and high protein (providing 10% and 20% energy) for 7 wk each, separated by a 3-wk washout period. After 3 wk, the entire diet was extrinsically labeled with (47)Ca, and isotope retention was monitored by whole-body scintillation counting. Clinical markers of calcium and bone metabolism were measured. RESULTS: High compared with low dietary protein significantly increased calcium retention from the low-calcium (29.5% compared with 26.0% absorbed) but not the high-calcium diet (18% absorbed). For the low-calcium diet, this effect nearly balanced a protein-related 0.5-mmol/d greater urinary calcium excretion. Protein-related calciuretic effects were independent of dietary calcium. Testing at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 wk showed no long-term adaptation in urinary acidity or urinary calcium excretion. High compared with low dietary protein decreased urinary deoxypyridinoline and increased serum insulin-like growth factor I without affecting parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, or tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. CONCLUSIONS: In healthy postmenopausal women, a moderate increase in dietary protein, from 10% to 20% of energy, slightly improved calcium absorption from a low-calcium diet, nearly compensating for a slight increase in urinary calcium excretion. Under practical dietary conditions, increased dietary protein from animal sources was not detrimental to calcium balance or short-term indicators of bone health.

AB  - Background: Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is characterized by absence or deficiency of the mucosal sucrase-isomaltase enzyme. Specific diagnosis requires upper gastrointestinal biopsy with evidence of low to absent sucrase enzyme activity and normal histology. The hydrogen breath test (BT) is useful, but is not specific for confirmation of CSID. We investigated a more specific 13C-sucrose labeled BT.Objectives: Determine whether CSID can be detected with the 13C-sucrose BT without duodenal biopsy sucrase assay, and if the 13C-sucrose BT can document restoration of sucrose digestion by CSID patients after oral supplementation with sacrosidase (Sucraid).Methods: Ten CSID patients were diagnosed by low biopsy sucrase activity. Ten controls were children who underwent endoscopy and biopsy because of dyspepsia or chronic diarrhea with normal mucosal enzymes activity and histology. Uniformly labeled 13C-glucose and 13C-sucrose loads were orally administered. 13CO2 breath enrichments were assayed using an infrared spectrophotometer. In CSID patients, the 13C-sucrose load was repeated adding Sucraid. Sucrose digestion and oxidation were calculated as a mean percent coefficient of glucose oxidation averaged between 30 and 90 minutes.Results: Classification of patients by 13C-sucrose BT percent coefficient of glucose oxidation agreed with biopsy sucrase activity. The breath test also documented the return to normal of sucrose digestion and oxidation after supplementation of CSID patients with Sucraid.Conclusions: 13C-sucrose BT is an accurate and specific noninvasive confirmatory test for CSID and for enzyme replacement management.

AB  - We measured dynamic stress responses using ambulatory heart rate monitoring as participants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania walked past vacant lots before and after a greening remediation treatment of randomly selected lots. Being in view of a greened vacant lot decreased heart rate significantly more than did being in view of a nongreened vacant lot or not in view of any vacant lot. Remediating neighborhood blight may reduce stress and improve health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Regulation of PTP-1 and Insulin Receptor Kinase by Fractions from Cinnamon: Implications for Cinnamon Regulation of Insulin Signalling.

AB  - Bioactive compound(s) extracted from cinnamon potentiate insulin activity, as measured by glucose oxidation in the rat epididymal fat cell assay. Wortmannin, a potent PI 3′-kinase inhibitor, decreases the biological response to insulin and bioactive compound(s) from cinnamon similarly, indicating that cinnamon is affecting an element(s) upstream of PI 3′-kinase. Enzyme studies done in vitro show that the bioactive compound(s) can stimulate autophosphorylation of a truncated form of the insulin receptor and can inhibit PTP-1, a rat homolog of a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP-1B) that inactivates the insulin receptor. No inhibition was found with alkaline phosphate or calcineurin suggesting that the active material is not a general phosphatase inhibitor. It is suggested, then, that a cinnamon compound(s), like insulin, affects protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions in the intact adipocyte. Bioactive cinnamon compounds may find further use in studies of insulin resistance in adult-onset diabetes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses how the racial discrimination is spreading its tentacles in the income distribution. The Inequality Process with Coalitions is a stochastic process modeling competition for wealth. The equilibrium distribution of wealth to individuals in coalitions is found by computer simulation. Identifying the minority in the model with Blacks, the majority with Whites, six statistical features of the size distribution of personal income to Blacks and Whites in the U.S. are reproduced: the smaller median income of blacks than whites; the difference in shapes of the black and white distributions; the % black effect, the greater difference between the median incomes of Blacks and Whites in areas with a larger % blacks; the association by area between a high ratio of median black to median white income with a small Gini concentration ratio of white income; the association by area between a high ratio of median black to median white income with high white median income; the greater discriminatory aggressiveness of poor Whites to Blacks than richer Whites.

AB  - Fruit coating formulations of bleached and unbleached shellac were developed that support survival of the yeast Candida oleophila . These and commercial formulations based upon sucrose esters were evaluated for their ability to promote surface colonization of citrus for the biological control of post-harvest decay. The type of shellac did not affect yeast survival in the liquid formulation; however, a pH 7.6 was essential for satisfactory recovery from the liquid over 24 h. The replacement of morpholine and aqueous ammonia, which aid dissolution of shellac, with equally efficacious sodium or potassium hydroxide improved yeast survival, as did replacing the surfactant oleic acid with polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate ( polysorbate 80). When formulations were applied to grapefruit, those that initially facilitated higher numbers of yeasts on the fruit surface later developed epiphytic populations that were significantly greater during the most critical first 2 weeks after harvest. As a group, coating formulations that incorporated sucrose esters favored the development of yeast populations to a greater extent than those based upon shellac and, over 6 months, grapefruit with these coatings were slower to decay. However, shellac formulations incorporating sodium hydroxide significantly extended the storage life of grapefruit compared with similar formulations with morpholine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study provides 53 new fluorescent in situ hybridization cytogenetic assignments for microsatellite markers linked on the swine genetic map. Forty microsatellites are physically assigned for the first time. The chromosomal locations of eight markers were either confirmed or refined, while five loci were assigned to locations different from those given in previous reports. Markers were selected to provide physical anchors based on their presumed proximity to centromeres or telomeres and at approximately 30 cM intervals across the genetic map. The number of physical anchors for pig (SSC) chromosomes 8, 15, and 18 linkage groups was significantly improved. Centromeric regions were localized to areas less than 10 cM for SSC 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Although the recombination rate was generally higher across small biarmed chromosomes and lowest for large acrocentric chromosomes, two regions with particularly low (1q2.1→q2.9 and 13q2.3→q4.1) and three regions with extremely high (5p1.5→p1.2, 6p1.4→p1.3, and 12p1.5→p1.4) rates of recombination were detected. These assignments represent an overall 10% increase in the number of physically assigned markers in Sus scrofa and more than a 20% increase in the number of Type II loci assigned to the pig cytogenetic map.

AB  - An increasing proportion of children in the United States are residing with a single parent. The economic status of single-parent situations is therefore of great importance. This paper reviews the literature on the economics of single parenthood. Re- search on the economics of becoming a single parent is first re- viewed. Studies on the income, expenditures, and assets and liabili- ties of single-parent situations are then addressed. Possible future research directions are discussed in the final section.

AB  - SDS-PAGE analysis of seed proteins of the cultivar 'Red River 68' showed a considerably higher staining intensity of the band corresponding to HMW-GS Bx7 relative to the equivalent band in the cultivars `Chinese Spring' and `Cheyenne'. Southern blots of restriction enzyme fragments from DNA of these three cultivars were analyzed densitometrically to reveal that the band corresponding to the Bx7 gene of `Red River 68' had a double staining intensity compared to the equivalent bands from the other two cultivars, which indicates that in `Red River 68' a duplication of the Bx7 gene has occurred. Although the possibility of the gene copy being a pseudogene was not ruled out, the greater amount of protein corresponding to Bx7 in `Red River 68' most likely is in accord with an increase in active gene number. SDS-PAGE analysis of the proteins showed also that the mobility of Bx7 in 'Cheyenne' was slightly different from the mobilities of the Bx7 subunits of 'Red River 68' and `Chinese Spring'. The same difference was observed at the gene level by PCR amplification of the genes encoding these subunits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pollen characteristics, inheritance and allelism of 23 genetic male-sterile (ms) mutants of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were investigated. Ten of the mutants were induced by ethyl methane sulfonate, one induced by ethyleneimine, seven induced by gamma rays, one induced by streptomycin, one derived from tissue culture and three were spontaneous mutants found in the field. Four pollen abortion types were observed among these ms mutants: 3 no-pollen (NP) type, 6 complete pollen abortion (CPA) type, 13 partial pollen abortion (PPA) type, and 1 stainable pollen abortion (SPA) type. Progeny tests over two years indicated that each of the mutants was inherited as a monogenic recessive. A partial diallel cross among the 23 ms mutants indicated that mutant E2 was allelic to G4, E5 was allelic to E9, N2 was allelic to N3, and that three other mutants, E3, G6 and T1, shared the same ms locus. Gene symbols ms-46 (t) through ms-63 (t) were assigned to these mutants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In recent years major progress has been achieved in the understanding of transport processes in higher plants. The boom in the field of molecular plant physiology led to the identification and characterization of membrane transporters with transport activities for potassium, calcium, sugars, nitrate, ammonium, sulphate, phosphate, amino acids, peptides, and metal ions. Such progress was hardly feasible without heterologous expression of the isolated transport proteins. This review summarizes the different approaches in characterizing plant membrane transporters using heterologous expression systems. By presenting concrete examples, it outlines different cloning strategies, displays the methods used for (i) expression of transport proteins and detection of their function, (ii) biochemical analyses, (iii) explorations of the structure-function relationship through mutational analysis, and concludes with a discussion about the physiological relevance of the analyses in heterologous expression systems.

AB  - The effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] photosynthesis and photorespiration-related parameters were determined periodically during the growing season by measurements of gas exchange, photorespiratory enzyme activities and amino acid levels. Plants were treated in open-top field chambers from emergence to harvest maturity with seasonal mean concentrations of either 364 or 726 μmol mol-1 CO2 in combination with either 19 or 73 nmol mol-1 O3 (12 h daily averages). On average at growth CO2 concentrations, net photosynthesis (A) increased 56% and photorespiration decreased 36% in terminal mainstem leaves with CO2-enrichment. Net photosynthesis and photorespiration were suppressed 30% and 41%, respectively, by elevated O3 during late reproductive growth in the ambient CO2 treatment, but not in the elevated CO2 treatment. The ratio of photorespiration to A at growth CO2 was decreased 61% by elevated CO2. There was no statistically significant effect of elevated O3 on the ratio of photorespiration to A. Activities of glycolate oxidase, hydroxypyruvate reductase and catalase were decreased 10-25% by elevated CO2, and by 46-66% by elevated O3 at late reproductive growth. The treatments had no significant effect on total amino acid or glycine levels, although serine concentration was lower in the elevated CO2 and O3 treatments at several sampling dates. The inhibitory effects of elevated O3 on photorespiration-related parameters were generally commensurate with the O3-induced decline in A. The results suggest that elevated CO2 could promote productivity both through increased photoassimilation and suppressed photorespiration. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Several parameters related to the water relations of eight woody hemiepiphytes with different photosynthetic pathways were studied in situ and in the laboratory on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. As a group, woody hemiepiphytes tended to hae less conductive stems per unit leaf area (lower kL) and invested less wood cross-section per unit leaf area compared to free-standing trees, while their specific conductivity (Ks) was significantly higher. Among hemiepiphytes, there were significant differences between C3 and CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) species in respect to leaf characteristics, transpiration rate, diel patterns of water flow through aerial roots, and in hydraulic architecture parameters. Average transpiration rates of the two Clusia species (C3-CAM) were lower by about an order of magnitude compared to the C3 species. In all C3 species, spa flow through aerial roots (F) closely followed transpiration (E), whereas E and F were decoupled in time in the C3-CAM species Clusia uvitana: considerable long-distance water flow occurred at night. The hydraulic efficiency of the other C3-CAM species, C. mino, was the lowest of the five species investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - The carotenoid/viviparous maize (Zea mays L.) mutant vp12 is a single locus mutation that resutts in lemoncoloured endosperms, viviparous embryos and albino seedlings. This work presents the first molecular and biochemical analysis of vp12. Levels of ABA were measured during embryo development and also in isolated organs under water deficit stress. ABA levels were lower in developing embryos of mutants than in non-mutant siblings at all stages analysed. In addition, under water deficit, mutant organs accumulated less ABA than corresponding non-mutant sibling organs. Furthermore, immature mutant embryos accumulated transcripts for several ABA or water deficit-responsive genes, Em, glbl, glb2, rab17, and vp1. These results indicated that vp12 is deficient in ABA accumulation, but not in the ABA signal transduction pathway. Analysis of carotenoid extracts showed that mutant endosperms accumulated lower amounts of coloured precursors than non-mutant endosperms. The expression of key enzymes in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway was also analysed in vp12 endosperms. Western analysis indicated that phytoene synthase (PSY) was present at equal levels in normal and mutant endosperms. In addition, phytoene desaturase (PDS) transcript levels were similar in non-mutant and mutant tissues. Transcripts for geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPPS), on the other hand, accumulated at lower levels in mutant endosperms than in non-mutant ones. However, Southern analysis of genomic DNA from normal and mutant tissues indicated that the gene encoding GGPPS is unlikely to be directly affected in vp12. Finally, vp12 seedlings grown under dim-light conditions produced white leaves, showing that vp12 is deficient in chlorophyll as well as carotenoid synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - We have developed a state-scale version of the MARKAL energy optimization model, commonly used to model energy policy at the US national scale and internationally. We apply the model to address state-scale impacts of a renewable electricity standard (RES) and a carbon tax in one southeastern state, Georgia. Biomass is the lowest cost option for large-scale renewable generation in Georgia; we find that electricity can be generated from biomass co-firing at existing coal plants for a marginal cost above baseline of 0.2-2.2 cents/kWh and from dedicated biomass facilities for 3.0-5.5 cents/kWh above baseline. We evaluate the cost and amount of renewable electricity that would be produced in-state and the amount of out-of-state renewable electricity credits (RECs) that would be purchased as a function of the REC price. We find that in Georgia, a constant carbon tax to 2030 primarily promotes a shift from coal to natural gas and does not result in substantial renewable electricity generation. We also find that the option to offset a RES with renewable electricity credits would push renewable investment out-of-state. The tradeoff for keeping renewable investment in-state by not offering RECs is an approximately 1% additional increase in the levelized cost of electricity.

N2  - We build up from the plant level an "aggregate(d)" Solow residual by estimating every U.S. manufacturing plant's contribution to the change in aggregate final demand between 1976 and 1996. Our framework uses the Petrin and Levinsohn (2010) definition of aggregate productivity growth, which aggregates plant-level changes to changes in aggregate final demand in the presence of imperfect competition and other distortions/frictions. We decompose these contributions into plant-level resource reallocations and plant-level technical efficiency changes while allowing in the estimation for 459 different production technologies, one for each 4-digit SIC code. On average we find positive aggregate productivity growth of 2.2% in this sector during this period of declining share in U.S. GDP. We find that aggregate reallocation made a larger contribution to growth than aggregate technical efficiency. Our estimates of the contribution of reallocation range from 1.7% to 2.1% per year, while our estimates of the average contribution of aggregate technical efficiency growth range from 0.2% to 0.6% per year. In terms of cyclicality, the aggregate technical efficiency component has a standard deviation that is roughly from 50% to 100% larger than that of aggregate total reallocation, pointing to an important role for technical efficiency in macroeconomic fluctuations. Aggregate reallocation is negative in only 3 of the 20 years of our sample, suggesting that the movement of inputs to more highly valued activities on average plays a stabilizing role in manufacturing growth. Our results have implications for both the theoretical literature on growth and alternative indexes of aggregate productivity growth based only on technical efficiency.

N2  - This study investigates the changing relationship between price and volume traded of short- and long-maturity NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contracts and major changes in the physical crude oil market during the last decade. Monthly series for the #1-month to 84-month out maturity contracts are generated from daily price and volume data for NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures contracts for the period from January 2000 to the middle of 2009. 3-D graphical analysis of the futures prices, contract volumes, maturity dates, and time is used to demonstrate the changing trading volume pattern and evolution of the shape of futures price term structure across various contract maturities in different market regimes. The study observes the impacts of both May 2004, when excess production capacity reached nearly zero, and September 2006, when electronic trading was implemented on the NYMEX WTI futures markets. This analysis will be used to determine if futures contract information can provide an early indication of market regime shifts and improve short-run crude oil spot price forecast models.

AB  - The study had two objectives: 1) an evaluation of third-market operational efficiency vis-a-vis the New York Stock Exchange and 2) an evaluation of any impact resulting from inclusion of third-market issues in the NASDAQ quotation system on preexisting third market versus NYSE efficiency. The following market characteristics were evaluated in order to compare the third market and the NYSE: 1. To provide an appraisal of potential efficiency, simultaneous quotations in each market were sampled over an extended period. The two markets appear to offer competitive quotations based on the distribution of better, equal, and worse quotes. 2. Actual efficiency was measured by comparing simultaneous transactions in the two markets. Comparable trades were derived from a sample of approximately 100,000 NYSE and 15,000 third-market transactions in selected issues collected over a one-year period. The sample of simultaneous, matched-size trades in identical issues in the two markets was evaluated from the customer's viewpoint, net of any commissions. While third-market prices tend to be slightly inferior to exchange prices before commission, net customer post-commission prices reveal a savings to institutions able to deal directly with third-market dealers equal to 26 cents per share, or $150,000 daily, based on a 12-million share NYSE day and the 1973 third-market share of total volume. 3. Block trades in the two markets were also compared. The distribution of block prices with respect to the preceding day's NYSE closing price appears to be identical in both markets. 4. The comparison of quotations before and after the advent of the NASDAQ system suggests that it may have had a slight impact in narrowing NYSE specialist spreads. However, the analysis of actual executions in the same periods does not reveal a significant change in third-market advantage which can be attributed to the quotation system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thermoplastic starch/latex polymer composites were prepared using styrene–butadiene latex and heat-treated cornstarch. The composites were prepared in a compression mold at 130°C, with 20% starch content. An amylose-free cornstarch, waxy maize, was used for this research, and the heat treatment range was from ambient temperature to 170°C. The heat-treated starch (HTS) was characterized by optical microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and size exclusion chromatography. The composites were characterized by mechanical analysis (stress–strain) and by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical tests of composites revealed a dramatic increase in the modulus and tensile strength when the gelatinized starch was incorporated. When the starch was not gelatinized, starch did not contribute to the increase in the modulus and tensile strength because of its small surface area, thus weak interaction with the matrix. The reinforcing effect of starch as filler was reduced as the heating temperature of starch was increased to higher than 120°C. The variation of reinforcement effect of HTS as filler was explained by the interaction between starch and matrix material, latex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The mechanisms leading to weight loss in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are poorly understood but may involve alterations in macronutrient metabolism. Changes in muscle oxidative capacity and lactate production during exercise suggest glucose metabolism may be altered in COPD subjects. The objective of this study was to determine differences in the rates of glucose production and clearance, the rate of glycolysis (pyruvate production), and oxidative and nonoxidative pyruvate disposal in subjects with severe COPD compared with healthy controls. The in vivo rates of glucose production and clearance were measured in 14 stable outpatients with severe COPD (seven with low and seven with preserved body mass indexes) and 7 healthy controls using an intra- venous infusion of [²H2]glucose. Additionally, pyruvate production and oxidative and non-oxidative pyruvate disposal were measured using intravenous infusions of [13C]bicarbonate and [13C]pyruvate. Endogenous glucose flux and glucose clearance were significantly faster in the combined COPD subjects (P = 0.002 and P < 0.00 respectively). This difference remained significant when COPD subjects were separated by body mass index. Pyruvate flux and oxidation were significantly higher in the combined COPD subjects than controls (P = 0.02 for both), but there was no difference in nonoxidative pyruvate disposal or plasma lactate concentrations between the two groups. In subjects with severe COPD, there are alterations in glucose metabolism leading to increased glucose production and faster glucose metabolism by glycolysis and oxidation compared with controls. However, no difference in glucose conversion to lactate via pyruvate reduction is observed. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Objective: To examine the agreement between perceptions, behaviors, and ability to purchase healthful food in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD). Design: A regional food store survey of healthful food options in supermarkets, small/medium stores, and convenience stores. Focus group discussions were conducted on shopping perceptions and behaviors. Setting: Counties in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Participants: Eighty-one LMD residents, 18-60+ years of age. Main Outcome Measure: Perceptions of healthful food and ability to acquire these food items across store types. Analysis: Focus group data were analyzed using thematic coding. Summary food store statistics were weighted, and estimates were constructed using SUD A AN 9. Data triangulation was achieved by comparing focus group findings with food availability data. Results: A majority (> 85%) of supermarkets had selected vegetables, breads, and cereals perceived as healthful, whereas availability was limited in small to medium grocery stores and convenience stores. Skim milk, perceived as healthful, was limited in all store types. Conclusions and Implications: Limited availability and perceived costs of healthful food in the LMD influenced purchasing behaviors. Attitudes and perceptions should be incorporated into intervention development to improve food choices in conjunction with increasing the availability of healthful food in the LMD.

AB  - Objective: To estimate the costs of satisfying MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines, with a focus on whether low-income households can bear these costs. Design: Descriptive analysis of the 2008 National Consumer Panel with information on the food purchases of 64,440 households across the contiguous United States was used to analyze the cost of fruits and vegetables. Costs per MyPyramid cup-equivalents were calculated by accounting for cooking yields and the portion of a food item's retail weight that is inedible. Variables Measured: Costs per cup-equivalent for less expensive fruits and vegetables by MyPyramid subgroup including whole and cut fruit, fruit juice, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, starchy vegetables, other vegetables, and legumes. Results: In 2008, a variety of fruits and vegetables was available for an average cost of SO.40 to SO.50 per cup-equivalent. MyPyramid fruit and vegetable recommendations could be satisfied at this cost level. Conclusions and Implications: Low-income Americans facing national average food prices can satisfy MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines with a budget equal to the Thrifty Food Plan allocation to fruits and vegetables. However, many low-income households spend too much money on food that is low in fruit and vegetable content. Some money should be reallocated to fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study compared the profiles of fatty acids, phytosterols, and polyamine conjugates in conventional commercial corn oil extracted from corn germ and in two “new-generation” corn oils: hexane-extracted corn fiber oil and ethanol-extracted corn kernel oil. The fatty acid compositions of all three corn oils were very similar and were unaffected by degumming, refining, bleaching, and deodorization. The levels of total phytosterols in crude corn fiber oil were about tenfold higher than those in commercial corn oil, and their levels in crude corn kernel oil were more than twofold higher than in conventional corn oil. When corn kernel oil was subjected to conventional degumming, refining, bleaching, and deodorization, about half of the phytosterols was removed, whereas when corn fiber oil was subjected to a gentle form of degumming, refining, bleaching, and deodorization, only about 10% of the phytosterols was removed. Finally, when the levels of polyamine conjugates (diferuloylputrescine and p-coumaroyl feruloylputrescine) were examined in these corn oils, they were only detected in the ethanol-extracted crude corn kernel oil, confirming earlier reports that they were not extracted by hexane, and providing new information that they could be removed from ethanol-extracted corn kernel oil by conventional degumming, refining, bleaching, and deodorizing.

AB  - The triacylglycerols (TAG) containing dihydroxy fatty acids have been recently identified by mass spectrometry in castor oil. These new dihydroxy fatty acids were proposed as 11,12-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid (diOH18:1), 11,12-dihydroxy-9,13-octadecadienoic acid (diOH18:2) and 11,12-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid (diOH18:0). The ratios of regioisomers of the TAG were estimated by fragment ions from the loss of fatty acids at the sn-2 position as α,β-unsaturated fatty acids by electro spray ionization-mass spectrometry of the lithium adducts (MS3). The content of regioisomeric diOH18:1-OH18:1-diOH18:1 (ABA, with two different fatty acids) was about 92% in the total of stereoisomeric diOH18:1-OH18:1-diOH18:1, OH18:1-diOH18:1-diOH18:1 and diOH18:1-diOH18:1-OH18:1 combined. The approximate contents of other regioisomers were as follows: diOH18:1-OH18:1-OH18:1 (92%), diOH18:1-diOH18:0-diOH18:1 (91%), diOH18:2-OH18:1-OH18:1 (80%) and diOH18:0-OH18:1-OH18:1 (96%). The ratios of regioisomers of TAG (ABC) containing three different fatty acids were estimated as about 7:1:2 (OH18:1:diOH18:1:diOH18:2) and about 7:2:1 (OH18:1:diOH18:0:diOH18:1). Ricinoleate (OH18:1) was predominately at the sn-2 position of TAG (both AAB and ABC) containing dihydroxy fatty acids and ricinoleate. Dihydroxy fatty acids were mainly at the sn-1,3 positions of TAG containing dihydroxy fatty acids and ricinoleate in castor oil. The ratios of the three regioisomers of TAG (ABC) containing three different fatty acids by mass spectrometry are first reported here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The melting point is one of the most important physical properties of a chemical compound and it plays a significant role in determining possible applications. For fatty acid esters the melting point is essential for a variety of food and non-food applications, the latter including biodiesel and its cold-flow properties. In this work, the melting points of fatty acids and esters (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl) in the C8–C24 range were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), many of which for the first time. Data for triacylglycerols as well as ricinoleic acid and its methyl and ethyl esters were also acquired. For some compounds whose melting points have been previously reported, data discrepancies exist and a comprehensive determination by DSC has not been available. Variations in the present data up to several °C compared to data in prior literature were observed. The melting points of some methyl-branched iso- and anteiso-acids and esters were also determined. Previously unreported systematic effects of compound structure on melting point are presented, including those for ω-9 monounsaturated fatty acids and esters as well as for methyl-branched iso and anteiso fatty acids and esters. The melting point of a pure fatty acid or ester as determined by DSC can vary up to approximately 1 °C. Other thermal data, including heat flow and melting onset temperatures are briefly discussed.

AB  - Increasing interest in the coupling of biological wastewater treatment processes with the generation of value-added products (such as oil containing ω-3 fatty acids (FA)) has stimulated efforts in adapting extraction methods for treatment byproducts. This study’s objective was to compare a high temperature/pressure extraction method (accelerated solvent extraction) (ASE) and a manual extraction method (modified Folch extraction) with regard to their ability to extract total oil from three algae samples from the treatment of dairy manure effluent. The efficiency of total oil and FA extraction with three solvents (chloroform/methanol, isopropanol/hexane, and hexane) was also evaluated using the ASE method. Results showed that the ASE method yielded higher values for total oil content compared to the Folch method but similar values for FA content and composition after four extraction cycles with chloroform/methanol. However, the ASE method yielded much higher amounts of FA in the first cycle (85–95% of total extracted) compared to the Folch method (44–55% of total extracted in the first cycle). As expected, the extraction efficiency of the ASE method for FA was dependent on the extraction solvent. FA content values using ASE with chloroform/methanol > isopropanol/hexane > hexane. FA content values using the Folch method or ASE with chloroform/methanol were not significantly influenced by sample particle size within the size range of 0.1–1 mm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - More than 9 billion gallons of ethanol were produced in 2008, mostly from dry grind corn fermentation plants. These plants are a potential source of substantial amounts of corn oil, if an economical method of separating it can be developed. In this work, oil was separated from corn germ by aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE). Batches of wet-milled corn germ in water were preheated in a pressure cooker, ground in a colloid mill, and churned in a vertical column/mixing vessel system, after the addition of enzyme. Nitrogen gas was then bubbled through the column removing an overflowing foam fraction which was subsequently centrifuged to separate free oil. Using a newly commercialized enzyme complex it was found that 80% of the oil could be recovered using a w/w ratio of enzyme solution to germ of 1:80. The low dose and low price of the enzyme complex leads to a cost estimate of AEE of corn oil from germ, similar to the wet-milled germ extracted, cost competitive with expelled oil (with the separation and drying of the foam protein), and feasible for commercialization in a dry grind plant retrofitted to separate germ.

AB  - Purpose - This paper aims to understand the motivations for product innovation and brand leadership using a series of case studies focusing on firms with leading market positions of different types. Design/methodology/approach - A qualitative study is presented of three leading food sector firms of different types (large/public, medium/private, and international/cooperative). An analysis of brand leadership is undertaken in the context of a conceptual framework linking process innovation, product innovation, and the firms resource base and market orientation. Findings - The cases suggest that process innovation supports product innovation as firms implement strategies to differentiate their products. Response to changing demand is a disciplined reaction where firms exploit their specialized resources using superior product knowledge and branding power. Leadership positions are maintained not only by responding to changing demand but by steering the market using innovative products and consumer education. Research limitations/implications - This study suggests that firms use their unique resource base and form strategies to capitalize on their capabilities. A single, dominant orientation is not necessary to maintain leadership. Rather process innovation can facilitate product innovation leading to successful product differentiation and enhancing a leadership position. The question of whether the growing power of retailers means the demise for branded food manufacturers is one that deserves attention. Innovation and its motivation is a national public policy concern that is influenced by a myriad of regulations and laws administered by various agencies. Originality/value - This study is the first one to pull together the experiences of food-firm brand leaders with their branding and innovation strategies as they look to the global arena for growth.

AB  - Abstract: The dispute on the validity of Cryptosporidium pestis and Cryptosporidium tyzzeri origins from the uncertainty on the identity of Cryptosporidium parvum described by Tyzzer in 1912 and the interpretation of the Principal of Priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Using a rigid interpretation of the Principal of Priority, one researcher proposed to rename C. parvum as C. pestis and retain C. parvum for Cryptosporidium mouse genotype I on the basis that Tyzzer was probably describing mouse genotype I. However, the ICZN clearly states that the Principle of Priority is to be used to promote stability and is not intended to upset a long-accepted name. Because mice are known to be naturally infected with C. parvum, and the 1985 taxonomic re-description of C. parvum for bovine and human isolates is accepted by almost all Cryptosporidium researchers, the prevailing name C. parvum for the species infective to calves and humans must be retained to avoid confusion. The designation of C. tyzzeri for the mouse genotype I brings further clarity to the taxonomy of Cryptosporidium spp. in humans, cattle, and domestic mice. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article comments on a study A. F. Harris and colleagues which claims that males of the genetically modified strain of the Aedes (A.) aegypti mosquito compete with wild males in mating with wild females in the field. According to the study, the A. aegypti is the main vector of dengue and since there is no approved vaccine for the disease, suppressing the vector is the main focus of disease control. The authors state that the reliability of the study's data suffers from the small sample.

AB  - In this article, the author discusses the application of pheromones against drifting moth genomes. He describes pheromones as the sex attractants produced by moth species to attract individuals of the opposite sex of the same species. He notes the biochemical basis of the synthesis of female sex pheromone in several species. He points out that the changes to pheromone systems emerge within the premating class of the isolation mechanisms.

AB  - A technique for making biodegradable food service packaging comprising a starch-fibre core and a biodegradable film laminate is described. The biodegradable films were made of polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene succinate/terephthalate (PBST), rubber latex and polybutylene adipate/terephthalate (PBAT). The technique involved an in situ process for laminating a baked foam product in a single step. A critical element of the in situ technique involved using a heat insulating fibre sheet to stabilize heat-sensitive laminate films during the baking/lamination process. The PLA-, PBST- and PBAT-laminated samples were baked for 6min at 120°C. The latex-laminated sample, which was much more heat-stable, did not need the insulating sheet and was baked for 3min at 160°C. Starch-based foam laminated with PLA, PBST or PBAT generally had higher density and greater tensile and flexural strength than the non-laminated control. Starch foam laminated with a rubber latex film had tensile and flexural properties similar to the non-laminated control, due to the low modulus and elasticity of the latex film. The in situ lamination process improved the adhesion of the starch foam core with the fibre sheet, PLA and latex films compared to a post-lamination process. All of the laminate materials provided a low water vapour permeance. The films degraded in a compost mixture but at a much slower rate compared to starch. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

N2  - The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of metabolic abnormalities that increase the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The exact etiology remains unclear, but it is known to be a complex interaction between genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors. Among environmental factors, dietary habits are of central importance in the prevention and treatment of this condition. However, there is currently no firm consensus on the most appropriate dietary recommendations. General recommendations include decreasing obesity, increasing physical activity, and consuming an anti-atherogenic diet, and have traditionally focused on low total fat intake. A major problem with the focus on low fat is that high-carbohydrate diets can contribute to increasing triglyceride and decreasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations. Low-carbohydrate diets have been popular in recent years. However, such diets are typically higher in saturated fat and lower in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than national dietary recommendations. More recently the quality of carbohydrate has been studied in relation to MetS, including a focus on dietary fiber and glycemic index. Similarly, there has been a move from limiting total fat to a focus on the quality of the fat, with evidence of beneficial effects of replacing some carbohydrate with monounsaturated fat. Other nutrients examined for possible importance include calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium. Together, the evidence suggests that the components of diet currently recommended as “healthy” are likely also protective against MetS, including low saturated and trans fat (rather than low total fat) and balanced carbohydrate intake rich in dietary fiber, as well as high fruit and vegetable intake (rather than low total carbohydrate); and the inclusion of low-fat dairy foods. Accelerating research on gene–diet interactions is likely to contribute interesting information that may lead to further individualized dietary guidance in the future. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR
N2  - Le syndrome métabolique est un ensemble d’anomalies métaboliques accroissant le risque de maladie cardiovasculaire tels l’athérosclérose et le diabète de type 2. On ne connaît pas les causes exactes, mais on sait qu’il s’agit d’une interaction complexe de facteurs héréditaires, métaboliques et environnementaux. Parmi les facteurs environnementaux, les habitudes alimentaires sont d’une importance capitale dans la prévention et le traitement de ce syndrome. Cependant, jusqu’à ce jour, il n’y a aucun consensus net quant aux meilleures recommandations diététiques. Comme recommandations générales, on demande de réduire l’adiposité, d’augmenter la pratique de l’activité physique et de consommer des aliments anti-athérogènes et, de façon classique, de réduire la quantité totale de gras dans l’alimentation. En mettant l’accent sur une faible quantité de gras, on crée un problème sérieux : un régime hyperglucidique peut augmenter la concentration de triglycérides et diminuer la concentration de HDL. Depuis quelques années, on observe un engouement pour les régimes hypoglucidiques ; ces derniers contiennent habituellement un plus haut taux de gras saturé et comportent moins de fruits, de légumes et de grains entiers que ne le préconisent les organismes nationaux. Depuis peu de temps, on s’intéresse à la qualité des sucres et à leur relation avec le syndrome métabolique et on porte une attention particulière aux fibres alimentaires et à l’index glycémique. Parallèlement, on est passé d’une recommandation de consommer une quantité maximale de gras à une recommandation bénéfique de substituer certains sucres par des gras monoinsaturés. Il faut aussi tenir compte des nutriments suivants : le calcium, la vitamine D et le magnésium. D’après toutes les observations rassemblées, les constituants d’un régime alimentaire dit « bon pour la santé , aussi valables dans la prévention du syndrome métabolique, comportent peu de gras saturé et de gras trans (au lieu d’une faible quantité totale de gras), des sucres en quantité raisonnable, beaucoup de fibres alimentaires, de fruits et de légumes (au lieu d’une faible quantité totale de sucres) et des produits laitiers faibles en gras. Avec plus de recherche sur les interactions des régimes et des gènes, on pourra cumuler plus de sources d’information utiles à l’encadrement personnalisé de l’alimentation. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - The article presents a three-year follow-up study which examines the bone mass status of 40 adolescent runners and identifies the variables linked with changes in bone mass. The study used a questionnaire to collect and assess sports participation history, menstrual status, and training, as well as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan to determine bone mineral content (BMC), lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition of the participants. Results show that 29%-54% of the variability in the bone mass change was explained by variables related to developmental stage, menstrual function, and body mass change. It concludes that majority of the participants with low BMD had low BMD following the three-year follow-up.

N2  - The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of calorie restriction (CR) on free-living physical activity levels among humans. Data were from three CALERIE phase I site-specific protocols. Participants were nonobese (body mass index = 23.5-29.9 kg/m²) adults randomly assigned to 25% CR, low-calorie diet (LCD, 890 kcal/day supplement diet until 15% weight loss, then weight maintenance), or control at Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC); 30% or 10% CR at Tufts University; and 20% CR or control at Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM). Activity was measured at months 0. 3, and 6 (PBRC) and at months 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 (WUSM and Tufts). Total daily energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were used to compute activity energy expenditure: AEE = TEE - RMR - 0.1 * TEE. Accelerometry and 7-day recall categorized activities by intensity. At Tufts, the 10% and 30% CR groups experienced significant decreases in AEE at months 6, 9, and 12. At month 6, a larger decrease in AEE was observed in the CR than the control group at WUSM. At months 3 and 6, larger decreases in AEE were observed in the CR and LCD groups than the control group at PBRC. Accelerometry and 7-day PAR did not consistently detect changes in activity categories. CR-associated changes in AEE were variable but, generally, reduced the energy deficit, which would reduce the expected rate of weight loss. Accelerometry and recall did not consistently explain reduced AEE, suggesting that increased muscle efficiency and/or decreased fidgeting accounted for decreased AEE. Inaccuracy of accelerometry and recall also likely negatively affected sensitivity. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - The article focuses on the efficacy of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) which were developed for its usage both in Canada and the United States. It has several nutrients reference standards, including the Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), and Adequate Intake. It has specific uses in dietary assessment for various individuals or groups. The RDA is claimed to be acceptable because it posses the acceptable basis in science so it should be included in the dietary intake of individuals. However, Doctor George Beaton, in his recent paper in "Nutrition Reviews," summarized by drawing some conclusions and said that the RDA is not based in science so it should be abolished. The article concludes that the RDA holds an important place in nutrition education and dietary counseling.

AB  - Micronutrient requirements are well-established for healthy full-term infants. However, few such recommendations exist for high-risk infants, including full-term infants with a variety of medical disorders or very preterm infants. Key micronutrients considered in this review are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and zinc. The ongoing unresolved shortages, especially of intravenous forms of these minerals, remain a major problem. Considered are some aspects of how the nutrient shortages may be managed, recognizing the complexity and changing nature of the supply.

AB  - CuO impregnated γ-Al2O3 support provides convenient adsorption and regeneration characteristics. These features give the potential to regard this chemisorption process as more effective, feasible and widely accepted than lime and limestone scrubbing in the removal of SO2 from the outlet gases. Thermogravimetric tests on the regeneration of the CuO/γ-Al2O3 exhausted sorbent (first stage of the regeneration, CuSO4 → Cu0) with methane were conducted. Commercially available 1/8'' γ-Al2O3 spheres, loaded with 5.8 wt % of Cu were investigated. The tests concerning the isothermal regeneration kinetics were performed at temperatures: T = 700, 727 and 750 K, while a 20 cm3 min-1 flow of pure methane was used. To select the mechanism of the regeneration reaction, as well as to evaluate their kinetic parameters of the rate equations, the TGA data were compared with the series of theoretical topochemical kinetic models as advocated by Gardner, Hancock and Sharp's approach. The kinetic mechanism of the regeneration reaction in the initial stage of the process may be originally interpreted as the combination of both boundary-surface-controlled reaction (contracting sphere) and the first-order kinetics models. Various diffusion limited kinetic equations have proved useful for the description of the final stage of the process. Both proposed models (two kinetic and four diffusion ones) fit fairly well to the experimental data (in their limited validity ranges) obtained in all three temperature values studied.

N2  - Primary objective : To determine whether boron deprivation affects rat behaviour and whether behavioural responses to boron deprivation are modified by differing amounts of dietary long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Research design : Female rats were fed diets containing 0.1 mg (9 μmol)/kg boron in a factorial arrangement with dietary variables of supplemental boron at 0 and 3 mg (278 μmol)/kg and fat sources of 75 g/kg safflower oil or 65 g/kg fish (menhaden) oil plus 10 g/kg linoleic acid. After 6 weeks, six females per treatment were bred. Dams and pups continued on their respective diets through gestation, lactation and after weaning. Between ages 6 and 20 weeks, behavioural tests were performed on 13–15 male offspring from three dams in each dietary treatment. The rats were euthanized at age 21 weeks for the collection of tissues and blood. Methods and procedures : At ages 6 and 19 weeks, auditory startle was evaluated with an acoustic startle system and avoidance behaviour was evaluated by using an elevated plus maze. At ages 7 and 20 weeks, spontaneous behaviour activity was evaluated with a photobeam activity system. A brightness discrimination test was performed on the rats between age 15 and 16 weeks. Brain mineral composition was determined by coupled argon plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Plasma total glutathione was determined by HPLC and total cholesterol and 8- iso -prostaglandin F 2α (8- iso -PGF 2α ) were determined by using commercially available kits. Main outcomes and results : Boron-deficient rats were less active than boron-adequate rats when fed safflower oil based on reduced number, distance and time of horizontal movements, front entries, margin distance and vertical breaks and jumps in the spontaneous activity evaluation. Feeding fish oil instead of safflower oil attenuated the activity response to boron deprivation. In the plus maze evaluation, the behavioural reactivity of the boron-deficient rats fed fish oil was noticeably different than the other three treatments. They made more entries into both open and closed arms and the center area and thus visited more locations. The boron-deficient rats fed fish oil also exhibited the lowest copper and zinc and highest boron concentrations in brain and the highest plasma glutathione concentration. Both boron deprivation and safflower oil increased plasma 8- iso -PGF 2α . Conclusions : Both dietary boron and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids influence rat behaviour and brain composition and the influence of one these bioactive substances can be altered by changing the intake of the other. Brain mineral and plasma cholesterol, glutathione and 8- iso -PGF 2α findings suggest that rat behaviour is affected by an interaction between boron and fish oil because both affect oxidative metabolism and act the cellular membrane level.

AB  - Background: Low folate status is associated with poor cognitive function and dementia in the elderly. Since 1998, grain products in the United States have been fortified with folic acid, which has reduced the prevalence of folate deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia. Objective: We investigated whether folate status is associated with cognitive function and dementia in a cohort of elderly Latinos (aged ⩾ 60 y; n = 1789) exposed to folic acid fortification. Design: Global cognitive function was assessed by the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MSE) and specific cognitive functions by cross-culturally validated neuropsychological tests. Dementia was diagnosed according to the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd edition revised, and California Alzheimer Disease Diagnostic and Treatment criteria. Red blood cell (RBC) folate was measured by automated chemiluminescence and total plasma homocysteine by HPLC. Results: The prevalence of folate deficiency (RBC folate ⩽ 160 ng/mL) was <1%. After control for confounding by homocysteine, vitamin B-12, creatinine, demographic variables, and depressive symptom score, RBCfolate was directly associated with 3MSE(P= 0.005) and delayed recall (P = 0.007) scores. In addition, adjusted odds ratios for low 3MSE score (⩽78) and dementia diagnosis per unit increase in RBC folate were significantly below unity (P ⩽ 0.008), which indicated that the relative risks of cognitive impairment and dementia decreased with increasing RBC folate concentration. In contrast, adjusted odds ratios for low 3MSE score and dementia diagnosis per unit increase in homocysteine were not significant. Conclusion: RBC folate is directly associated with cognitive function scores and is inversely associated with dementia in elderly Latinos despite folic acid fortification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This research considers acculturation by Mexican and Chinese groups in the United States and how participation in five nature-based outdoor recreation activities may be an indicator of acculturation to American society. We argue that the greater incidence of professional human capital among Chinese immigrants helps this group acculturate more quickly than Mexicans, who are more likely to be labor immigrants and that as a result, Chinese immigrants will be more likely than Mexican immigrants to participate in nature-based outdoor recreation activities. We also posit that US-born Chinese have a greater likelihood of participation compared to US-born Mexicans. Results show Chinese immigrant participation is distinguished only slightly from Mexican immigrant participation; no differences were found between US-born Chinese and US-born Mexicans. Within-group comparisons show immigrant Chinese participation to be more aligned with US-born Chinese participation than immigrant Mexican participation to US-born Mexican participation. Results from this study are intended to help raise awareness among environmental professionals of the different ways nature may be perceived by various cultural groups and also to alert managers of the important role natural resources can play in acculturating immigrants to US society.

AB  - The increasing size and severity of wildfires in the western United States has caused a corresponding increase in post-fire emergency erosion control activities. Hillslope treatments, such as broadcast seeding, mulching and installed barriers, are applied to reduce runoff and erosion, as well as downslope sedimentation. However, there are few data to determine if these post-fire treatments are practical and effective. Direct measurement of hillslope erosion, particularly in the remote settings where wildfires occur, is time consuming and costly. Rainfall simulation, sediment fences and paired catchment studies have been adapted for measuring post-fire erosion in the mountainous forest regions of the western USA. The use of paired catchments to measure hillslope erosion and evaluate treatment effectiveness is illustrated by an ongoing experiment of six contour-felled log erosion barrier research sites. Deciding which type of treatments to use, as well as the locations and timing of application, requires treatment cost and effectiveness to be weighed against potential damage from unmitigated erosion. To assist in this process, a web-based Erosion Risk Management Tool has been developed that incorporates variability in rainfall, burn severity and soil properties, as well as treatment options to provide probabilistic erosion estimates for 4 years after a fire.

AB  - Background: The vitamin A value of spinach and carrots needs to be measured directly. Objective: The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsically labeled dietary spinach and carrots in humans. Design: Spinach and carrots were intrinsically labeled by growing these plants in 25 atom% 2H2O nutrient solution. Growth in this medium yielded a range of trans β-carotene (tβ-carotene) isotopomers with a peak enrichment at molecular mass plus 10 mass units. Seven men with a mean (±SD) age of 59.0±6.3 y and a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 25.7±1.5 consumed puréed spinach (300 g, 20.8 μmol tβ-carotene equivalents) or carrots (100 g, 19.2 μmol tβ- carotene equivalents) with a standardized liquid diet (no extra fiber) in random order 4 mo apart. Seven women with a mean (±SD) age of 55.5 ± 6.3 y and a body mass index of 26.4 ± 4.2 consumed puréed spinach only (300 g, 20.0 μmol tβ-carotene equivalents). A reference dose of [13C8]retinyl acetate (8.9μmol) in oil was given to each subject 1 wk after each vegetable dose. Blood samples were collected over 35 d. Results: Areas under the curve for total labeled serum β-carotene responses were 42.4 ± 8.5 nmol . d per μmol spinach β-carotene and 119.8±23.0 nmol . d perμmol carrot β-carotene (P<0.01). Compared with the [13C8]retinyl acetate reference dose, spinach tβ-carotene conversion to retinol was 20.9 ± 9.0 to 1 (range: 10.0 - 46.5 to 1) and carrot tβ-carotene conversion to retinol was 14.8 ± 6.5 to 1 (range: 7.7-24.5 to 1) by weight. Conclusions: Spinach and carrots can provide a significant amount of vitamin A even though the amount is not as great as previously proposed. Food matrices greatly affect the bioavailability of plant carotenoids, their efficiency of conversion to vitamin A, or both. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The adiponectin gene is known to modulate adiponectin concentrations and diabetes mellitus development. Objective: We assessed whether adiponectin gene variants contribute to circulating adiponectin, insulin resistance (IR), or cardiovascular disease risk factors. Design: Nondiabetic subjects [n=902; x±SE age: 42.5±0.53 y; body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2): 24.7±0.11] were genotyped for 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 45T→Gand276G→T. Results: After adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, subjects with the G allele for the SNP 276 had significantly higher concentrations of triacylglycerol and small dense LDL (sdLDL) and smaller LDL particle size than did T/T subjects. G/G subjects at SNP 276 had significantly lower plasma adiponectin and higher homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) of IR and urinary prostaglandin F2α than did T/T subjects. In the SNP 45-276 haplotype test, we also observed that subjects with the X/X haplotype had significantly higher plasma adiponectin after adjustment than did TG/TG or TG/X haplotype subjects. In the highest BMI group (BMI ⩾ 26), T/T subjects had lower HOMA-IR (P = 0.011) and higher plasma adiponectin (P=0.026) atSNP276 than didG/Gor G/T subjects. These patterns were also seen for adiponectin in haplotype groups. However, no significant genotype effect for SNP 45T→G was observed. Conclusions: The 276G→T polymorphism of the adiponectin gene modulates circulating adiponectin and IR, particularly in obese states. G allele carriers also have higher oxidative stress, higher sdLDL concentrations, and smallerLDLparticle size. Therefore, the presence of the G allele in the adiponectin gene at SNP 276 could be a significant contributor to higher cardiovascular disease risk in Koreans, independent of common environmental factors.

AB  - The article presents information related to the problem of inadequate controls in forest research. In the forest ecology, a control implies an unmanipulated area that can be compared with the treated area. Comparisons between treated areas and untreated "controls" on a given site can take into account previous forest conditions. It includes the history of agriculture and harvest, current tree size, density and age, presence of stumps, stone walls, cellar holes, old fencing, historic photos or other evidence. In heterogeneous forest ecosystems, a good control is unattainable because of the complexity of environmental interactions. In a fuel characterization study, the authors used comparison areas instead of controls. Data were collected to test the hypothesis that invasive, nonnative plants alter fuels in eastern forests by either increasing or decreasing the fuel load. Invasive plants can alter fuels by changing the height and density of the fuel bed, phenology of green-up and browning of vegetation, flammability of the vegetation through arrangement of fuels in three-dimensional space or through volatile chemicals in plant parts.

AB  - The efficiency of livestock production in shortgrass steppe may be increased by grazing fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens [Pursh] Nutt)-dominated rangeland in late fall and/or early spring, but there is a paucity of information concerning stocking rates and animal gains. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of light and moderate stocking rates on weight gains of heifers grazing twice-replicated 16-ha pastures in late fall (November to mid-January) from 1996 to 1998, and in early spring (April to mid-May) from 1996 to 1999. Stocking rates for late fall (light: 1.3-1.5 ha • animal unit month-1 [AUM-1] vs. moderate: 0.8-1.0 ha • AUM-1) and early spring (light: 3.7-4.0 ha • AUM-1 vs. moderate: 2.3-2.5 ha • AUM-1) were achieved using 5 (for light grazing) and 8 (for moderate grazing) Hereford heifers, with initial average weights of 405 ± 5.7 (mean ± 1 SE) kg for the late fall grazing period and 267 ± 3.8 kg for the early spring grazing period across the study years. Average daily gain was 58% greater for light (0.65 ± 0.06 kg • head-1 • d-1) compared to moderate (0.41 ± 0.05 kg • head-1 • d-1) stocking rates in the late fall grazing period, and 115% greater with light (0.59 ± 0.06 kg • head-1 • d-1) than with moderate (0.27 ± 0.07 kg • head-1 • d-1) stocking rates in the early spring grazing period. Beef production did not differ between stocking rates for either the late fall (16.4 ± 3.9 vs. 17.4 ± 4.5 kg gain • ha-1, light vs. moderate stocking rates) or early spring (9.6 ± 2.7 vs. 7.6 ± 4.8 kg gain • ha-1) grazing periods. We suggest that land managers employ light stocking rates during both grazing periods to obtain adequate individual animal gains without sacrificing gains per unit land area. Lengthening the grazing season in the shortgrass steppe should be economically desirable to land managers because feed costs could be lowered and animal gains obtained through minimal input.

AB  - La eficiencia de la producción del ganado en los pastizales de zacates cortos puede ser incrementada con el apacentamiento de pastizales dominados por "Fourwing saltbush" (Atriplex canescens [Pursh] Nutt) a fines de otoño y/o inicios de primavera, pero hay una escasez de información concerniente a las cargas animal y ganancias del animal. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los efectos de cargas animal ligeras y moderadas en las ganancias de peso de vaquillas apacentando a fines de otoño (Noviembre a mediados de Enero) potreros de 16 ha repetidos dos veces, durante el periodo de 1996 a 1998 y a inicios de primavera (Abril a mediados de Mayo) de 1996 a 1999. Las cargas animal (ha UAM-1) para fines de otoño (ligero: 1.3-1.5 vs. moderado: 0.8-1.0) e inicios de primavera (ligero: 3.7-4.0 vs. moderado: 2.3-2.5 ha UAM-1) fueron logradas usando 5 (ligero) y 8 (moderado) vaquillas herford, con pesos iniciales promedio de 405 ± 5.7 kg para el periodo de apacentamiento de fines de otoño y 267 ± 3.8 kg para los periodos de apacentamiento a inicios de primavera a través de los años de estudio. La ganancia diaria promedio fue 58% mayor para Ia carga ligera (0.65 ± 0.06 kg hd-1 d-1, media ± 1EE) en comparación con Ia carga moderada (0.41 ± 0.05 kg hd-1 d-1), esto para las cargas del periodo de fines de otoño y 115% mayor con la carga ligera (0.59 ± 0.06 kg-1 • hd-1 • d-1) que con Ia moderada (0.27 ±0.07 kg • hd-1 • d-1) en el periodo de inicios de primavera. La producción de carne no difirió entre cargas animal, tanto en los periodos de apacentamiento de fines de otoño, (16.4 ± 3.9 vs. 17.4 ± 4.5 kg ganacia ha-1, carga ligera vs. moderada) como los de inicios de primavera (9.6 ± 2.7 vs. 7.6 ± 4.8 kg gain • ha-1). Sugerimos que los manejadores de pastizales empleen cargas ligeras en ambos periodos de apacentamiento para obtener ganancias animal individuales adecuadas sin sacrificar las ganancias por unidad de área. Alargar la estación de apacentamiento en los pastizales de zacates cortos debe ser económicamente deseable para los manejadores del pastizal conforme los costos de alimentación pudieran ser bajados y las ganancias animal sean obtenidas con entradas mínimas.

AB  - Background: Vitamin D has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects in in vitro and in animal studies. However, data from clinical studies of inflammatory diseases are scarce. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and gingival inflammation. Design:Weanalyzed data from 77 503 gingival units (teeth) in 6700 never smokers aged 13 to >90 y from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multiple logistic regression models adjusted for subject- and site-specific covariates included age, sex, race-ethnicity, income, body mass index, diabetes, use of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy among women, intake of vitamin C, missing teeth, full crown coverage, presence of calculus, frequency of dental visits, and dental examiner and survey phase. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for correlated observations within subjects. Results: Compared with sites in subjects in the lowest 25(OH)D quintile, sites in subjects in the highest 25(OH)D quintile were 20% (95% CI: 8%, 31%) less likely to bleed on gingival probing (P for trend<0.001). The association appeared to be linear over the entire 25(OH)D range, was consistent across racial or ethnic groups, and was similar among men and women as well as among users and nonusers of vitamin and mineral supplements. Conclusions: Vitamin D may reduce susceptibility to gingival inflammation through its antiinflammatory effects. Gingivitis may be a useful clinical model to evaluate the antiinflammatory effects of vitamin D. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Soil erosion rates at the National Soil Tilth Laboratory Deep Loess Research Station in southwest Iowa (USA) were determined from 137Cs inventories using a multi‐box numerical model that incorporates time‐dependent atmospheric 137Cs deposition. Nine sites along a downslope transect where 137Cs inventories were measured in 1974 by Spomer et al. (Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers 1985, vol. 28, pp. 767–772) were revisited in 1998, allowing estimation of erosion over three time periods: 1954–1974, 1954–1998 and 1974–1998. Modelled 1954–1974 erosion rates (mean = 1·01 ± 0·41 g cm−2 a−1) were significantly higher (p < 0·001, t‐test) than those reported by Spomer et al. (0·36 ± 0·10 g cm−2 a−1). A key reason for the significant difference is that our model used a monthly time step whereas Spomer et al. used a single 20‐year time step. As the model time step was increased from 1 month to 20 years, the erosion rate decreased by a factor of three to rates in general agreement with those reported by Spomer et al. This suggests that failing to account for temporal variations in atmospheric deposition and/or cultivation practices will result in substantially miscalculated erosion rates. Erosion rates over 1974–1998 were calculated by comparing our 1998 measured 137Cs inventory to the decay‐corrected 1974 inventories reported by Spomer et al. This comparison yielded erosion rates of −0·10 to 0·48 g cm−2 a−1 (mean = 0·19 ± 0·17 g cm−2 a−1), indicating that soil loss was reduced by 81 ± 52 per cent over 1974–1998 compared to the period 1954–1974. This estimate is in reasonable agreement with measurements of soil flux at the weir which indicate that soil loss has been reduced by 43 per cent since grass buffer strips were added to the field in 1991.

AB  - As part of a major project on studying the operational challenges in gas-to-liquids (GTL) transportation through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), the wax appearance temperatures (WAT) of GTL products and the Alaska North Slope Crude (ANSC) and their blends were measured. The WAT measurements of GTL products were based on the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D3117 standard, whereas the WAT measurements of ANSC and its blends with the GTL products were measured by the viscometry technique. The reliability of the viscometry technique was ascertained by comparing the WATs of the colorless GTL products measured by the ASTM D 3117 method. The WATs measured by the viscometry technique and the ASTM D3117 method were found to be in excellent agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Quantifying woody plant biomass has often proven difficult in the field for reasons that include irregular plant morphology, between-observer variability, and lack of standardized techniques. One potential solution to these challenges is the use of ground- based photographic technology. Our objective was to develop a photo-based technique that could be used to monitor changes in willow (Salix spp.) biomass over time and estimate changes in biomass associated with herbivory. We focused on young willows (≤ 2 m in height) because this size class represents a critical life history stage for establishment of willow clumps. In August 2000 and 2001, we harvested 25 willow (Salix boothii Dorn.) clumps and clamped them in front of a fluorescent orange photoboard (150 × 200 cm). Clumpswere defoliated of leaves and tips of current annual stem growth (referred to as "biomass") by hand in 4 to 7 increments and photographed before and after each removal. Images were scanned to digital format and the degree of photoboard obstruction was determined with Adobe® Photoshop® 4.0 software. Regression analysis indicated that visual obstruction of the photoboard was a good predictor of total clump biomass (r² = 0.89, P < 0.01) as well as biomass remaining following sequential defoliations (r² = 0.92, P < 0.01). These results suggest our technique provides a reliable index of both willow biomass and utilization within the size class of willow tested. Results might differ with larger willows and increased woody biomass. The technique minimizes observer bias and provides a permanent photo record that can be reanalyzed at a later date if necessary.

AB  - La cuantificación en campo de la biomasa de plantas leñosas frecuentemente es difícil por razones que incluyen una mortologia irregular de las plantas, variabilidad entre observadores y la falta de têcnicas estandarizadas. Una soluciôn potencial a estos retos es el uso de tecnología fotográfica a nivel del suelo. Nuestro objetivo fue desarrollar una têcnica basada en fotografía que pudiera ser utilizada para monitorear cambios en la biomasa de "Willow" (Salix spp.) a través del tiempo y estimación de cambios en biomasa asociados con herbivoría. Nos enfocamos en plantas jóvenes de "Willow" jóvenes (≤ 2 m de altura) debido a que esta clase de tamaño, dentro de la historia de vida, representa un estado crítico para el establecimiento de cepas de "Willow". En agosto del 2000 y 2001 se corto un grupo de 25 varetas de "Willow" (Salix boothii Dorn.), se juntaron y expusieron en una mesa fotográfica de 150 × 200-cm a fluorescencia naranja. Las varetas fueron manualmente defoliadas y se eliminaron los brotes del crecimiento del ultimo año (citado como biomasa) en incrementos de 4 a 7 y fotografiados antes y despuês de cada cone. Las imágenes fueron registradas en un formato digital y el grado obstrucción de la tabla de fotografía fue determinado usando el programa Adobe® Photoshop® 4.0. El análisis de regresión indicó que la obstrucción visual de la tabla de fotografía fue un buen estimador de la biomasa total del grupo de varetas (r2 0.89, P < 0.01) así como de la biomasa remanente posterior a defoliaciones secuenciales (r2 0.92, P < 0.01). Los resultados sugieren que nuestra têcnica provee un índice confiable tanto de la biomasa como de la utilización del "Willow" de dentro de clase de tamaño evaluada. Los resultados pueden diferir en "Willow" grandes y mayor biomasa leñosa. La têcnica minimiza sesgos del observador y provee un registro fotográfico permanente que puede ser re-analizado en fechas posteriores de ser necesario. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 is a plant commensal bacterium that inhabits the rhizosphere and produces secondary metabolites that suppress soilborne plant pathogens. The complete sequence of the 7.1-Mb Pf-5 genome was determined. We analyzed repeat sequences to identify genomic islands that, together with other approaches, suggested P. fluorescens Pf-5's recent lateral acquisitions include six secondary metabolite gene clusters, seven phage regions and a mobile genomic island. We identified various features that contribute to its commensal lifestyle on plants, including broad catabolic and transport capabilities for utilizing plant-derived compounds, the apparent ability to use a diversity of iron siderophores, detoxification systems to protect from oxidative stress, and the lack of a type III secretion system and toxins found in related pathogens. In addition to six known secondary metabolites produced by P. fluorescens Pf-5, three novel secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters were also identified that may contribute to the biocontrol properties of P. fluorescens Pf-5.

AB  - Background: Calcium fortification of maize has been achieved for millennia in Central America by the process of nixtamalization. Bioavailability of calcium is, however, compromised by phytate, which is present in large quantities in maize kernels and is only modestly reduced by nixtamalization. Objective: The objective was to compare the absorption of calcium from tortilla meals prepared from low-phytate maize with that from meals prepared from maize with typical phytate content. Design: At 1-mo intervals, 5 healthy adult women were fed 2 test meals of ≈140 g tortillas in lieu of breakfast. On one occasion, the tortillas were prepared from maize with ≈60% phytate reduction, and, on the other occasion, they were prepared from the matching isohybrid wild-type maize. Beginning midway through the test meal, 44Ca (0.3 mg/kg body wt) was administered in water as an extrinsic label; 42Ca (0.06 mg/kg body wt) was administered intravenously immediately after the test meal. Isotope ratios of 42Ca to 43Ca and of 44Ca to 43Ca were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in urine collected as an 8-h pool from the period 16-24 h after intravenous tracer administration and prepared by the oxalate precipitation method. Fractional absorption of calcium was determined by using a dual-isotope ratio technique. Results: Mean fractional absorption of calcium from tortillas prepared from the low-phytate maize (0.50 ± 0.03) was significantly (P<0.003) greater than that from tortillas prepared from the control maize (0.35 ± 0.07). Conclusion: The increase in the quantity of calcium absorbed could be of practical importance for calcium nutriture when the intake of dairy products is limited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Endothelial dysfunction is one of the mechanisms linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective:Weassessed the association between several diet-quality scores and plasma concentrations of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Design: Diet-quality scores on the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), Diet Quality Index Revised (DQI-R), Recommended Food Score (RFS), and the alternate Mediterranean Diet Index (aMED) were calculated by using a foodfrequency questionnaire that was administered in 1990 to 690 women in the Nurses' Health Study (ages 43- 69 y, no cardiovascular disease or diabetes). Blood collection was completed in the same year. We used regression analysis to assess the associations between these diet-quality scores and plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, E-selectin, soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1, and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1. Results: The various diet-quality scores were significantly correlated with each other; correlation coefficients ranged from 0.56 to 0.80 (all P values < 0.0001). After adjustment for age, body mass index, alcohol intake, physical activity, smoking status, and energy intake, the HEI and DQI-R were not significantly associated with any of the biomarkers, whereas the AHEI and aMED scores were associated with significantly lower concentrations of most biomarkers. The RFS was significantly associated with a lower concentration of E-selectin only. C-reactive protein concentrations were 30% (P < 0.05) and 24% (P < 0.05) lower in the top than in the bottom quintile of the AHEI and of the aMED, respectively Conclusion: Higher AHEI and aMED scores were associated with lower concentrations of biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and therefore may be useful as guidelines for reducing the risk of diseases involving such biological pathways.

AB  - Background: Adjustments in zinc absorption and endogenous excretion maintain zinc homeostasis in nonpregnant adults fed low-zinc diets. The effects on zinc homeostasis of a low zinc intake during pregnancy and lactation have not been described in a longitudinal study. Objective: We examined longitudinal changes in fractional zinc absorption (FZA) and zinc kinetics in 10 healthy Brazilian women who habitually consumed a marginal zinc diet (≈9 mg Zn/d). Design: Zinc status was measured at 10-12 (early pregnancy; EP) and 34-36 (late pregnancy; LP) wk of pregnancy and at 7-8 wk after delivery (early lactation; EL). Zinc kinetics and FZA were studied by using stable isotopic tracers. Results: Zinc intake averaged 9 ± 3 mg/d throughoutthe study. FZA increased from 29 ± 6% at EP to 43 ± 10% at LP and to 39 ± 13% at EL (P < 0.05). FZA was inversely related to plasma zinc at EL (r = -0.73, P = 0.02) and LP (r = -0.72, P = 0.07). Plasma zinc mass was 23% greater at LP than atEP or EL (P < 0.05). The amount of zinc (mg/d) that fluxed between plasma and the most-rapidly-turning-over extravascular pool was 53% greater at LP than at EP or EL (P < 0.05). The zinc flux between plasma and the less-rapidly-turning-over zinc pool at EL was 27% greater than that at EP or LP, but this difference was not significant. Conclusions: FZA increased significantly in women with marginal zinc intakes during pregnancy and lactation; the increase was higher in women with low plasma zinc. Plasma zinc was distributed into a different exchangeable pool at LP than at EL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of fowl cholera. The organism can occur as a commensally in the naso-pharyngeal region of apparently healthy animals and it can be a primary or secondary pathogen in the disease process of birds. The complete genome of an avian strain of P. multocida has been sequenced and was shown to possess two filamentous hemagglutinin genes designated fhaB1 and fhaB2. Filamentous hemagglutinin transposon mutants of a bovine strain of P. multocida are attenuated in mice. Here, we report the construction of an fhaB2 P. multocida mutant in an avian strain P-1059 (A:3). The fhaB2 mutant and the parent were assessed for virulence in turkeys by intranasal and intravenous challenge. Inactivation of fhaB2 resulted in a high degree of attenuation when turkeys were challenged intranasally and to a lesser degree when intravenously administered. Resistance of the fhaB2 mutant and parent strain to killing by serum complement was similar. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The feasibility of transporting gas-to-liquids (GTL) products (natural gas chemically converted to liquid hydrocarbons) through an existing oil pipeline—the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS)—for bringing value to Alaska's vast stranded natural gas resources is currently being investigated. As part of this major project, the phase behavior measurement and modeling of GTL and Alaska North Slope crude (ANSC) oil blends have been carried out. The saturation pressures for various types of GTL and ANSC oil blends were measured in a conventional windows based PVT apparatus. The phase behavior of GTL and ANSC oil blends were also modeled by the Peng-Robinson and Soave-Redlich-Kwong equations-of-state. The measured and modeled saturation pressures were found to be in close agreement. The results also indicated that the GTL and ANSC oil blends would always exist as single-phase liquid under the current TAPS operating conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study evaluates osmolality of a submerged conidia-producing medium in relation to the following spore characteristics: yield, morphology (dimensions and cell wall structure), chemical properties of cell wall surfaces (charge, hydrophobicity, and lectin binding), cytoplasmic polyols and trehalose, and performance (drying stability and pathogenicity). Spore production was increased by the addition of up to 150 g l -1 polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG). Spores from high osmolality medium (HOM spores) containing 100 g l -1 PEG had thin cell walls and dimensions more similar to blastospores than submerged conidia or aerial conidia. However, a faint electron-dense layer separating primary and secondary HOM spores’ cell walls was discernable by transmission electron microscopy as found in aerial and submerged conidia but not found in blastospores. HOM spores also appeared to have an outer rodlet layer, unlike blastospores, although it was thinner than those observed in submerged conidia. HOM spores’ surfaces possessed hydrophobic microsites, which was further evidence of the presence of a rodlet layer. In addition, HOM spores had concentrations of exposed N -acetyl-ß-d-glucosaminyl residues intermediate between blastospores and submerged conidia potentially indicating a masking of underlying cell wall by a rodlet layer. All spore types had exposed a-d-mannosyl and/or a-d-glucosyl residues, but lacked oligosaccharides. Similar to blastospores, HOM spores were less anionic than submerged conida. Although HOM spores had thin cell walls, they were more stable to drying than blastospores and submerged conidia. Relative drying stability did not appear to be the result of differences in polyol or trehalose concentrations, since trehalose concentrations were lower in HOM spores than submerged conidia and polyol concentrations were similar between the two spore types. HOM spores had faster germination rates than submerged conidia, similar to blastospores, and they were more pathogenic to Schistocerca americana than submerged conidia and aerial conidia.

AB  - Background: The pathogenesis of hypertriacylglycerolemia, a characteristic feature of HIV lipodystrophy syndrome (HLS), is incompletely understood. One mechanism is accelerated lipolysis in the fasted state, but the severity of the hypertriacylglycerolemia suggests that additional underlying abnormalities may exist in the disposal of dietary fat. Objective: Our objective was to investigate abnormalities in dietary fat disposal in the pathogenesis of hypertriacylglycerolemia in HLS. Design: Westudied 6 nondiabetic men with HLS and 6 men without HIV matched for age and body mass index as control subjects for 8 h after consumption of an isocaloric meal containing 2 g labeled [13C3]tripalmitin. Chylomicron-triacylglycerol disposal was estimated from labeled [13C1]palmitate in the plasma chylomicron fraction, and [13C1]palmitate oxidation was estimated from the 13CO2 enrichment in the breath and CO2 production, over 8 h after the meal. Results: HLS patients had significantly elevated concentrations of fasting plasma triacylglycerols in both chylomicron (x+ SE: 100.3 ±49.5 compared with 29.2 ±2.2 mg/dL; P < 0.01) and VLDL (82.4 ±39.0 compared with 10.8 ±2.8 mg/dL; P < 0.01) fractions. Chylomicron-triacylglycerol- derived [13C1]palmitate disposal was markedly lower in the HLS patients (3.09 ±0.41 compared with 6.42 ±0.18 mmol [13C1]palmitate/8 h; P < 0.001) in the 8-h postmeal period. Further, HLS patients had lowered storage of chylomicron-triacylglycerols (0.74 ±0.38 compared with 5.05±0.16 mmol; P<0.0001) and elevated plasma [13C1]palmitate concentrations (2.01±0.27 compared with 1.18±0.16 mmol; P< 0.05) 8 h after the meal. Conclusions: Patients with HLS have key defects that markedly impair postprandial disposal and storage of chylomicrontriacylglycerols. These defects contribute significantly to hypertriacylglycerolemia in HLS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Animal studies suggest a role for dietary carbohydrate in cataractogenesis. However, few published human studies have evaluated associations between carbohydrate nutrition and lens opacification. Objective: Our objective was to test the hypothesis that long-term carbohydrate intake and dietary glycemic index are associated with the odds of early cortical and nuclear opacities. Design: Subjects were 417 Boston-area members of the Nurses' Health Study cohort aged 53-73 y. Dietary information was based on an average from 5 semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 14-y period. Opacities were assessed by using the Lens Opacity Classification System III (LOCS III). We used eyes (n = 711) as the unit of analysis and generated odds ratios by using a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the 2 eyes of each subject. Results: After multivariate adjustment, the odds of cortical opacities (LOCSIII⩾1.0) among women in the highest tertile of carbohydrate intake (⩾200 g/d) was 2.46 times (95% CI: 1.30, 4.64; P for trend= 0.005) that among women in the lowest tertile (<185 g/d). This association was not affected by adjustment for dietary glycemic index, which was not associated with early cortical opacities. Carbohydrate nutrition was not associated with the odds of nuclear opacities (LOCS III ⩾ 2.5). Conclusions: These data suggest that carbohydrate quantity, but not carbohydrate quality, is associated with early cortical opacities, and that neither the quantity nor the quality of dietary carbohydrate affects the risk of nuclear opacities in middle-aged women.

AB  - The rapid expansion of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis Hook.) across the northern Great Basin has diminished shrub and understory plant composition and reduced forage production. Juniper removal has accelerated during the past decade in Oregon and California to restore shrub-steppe plant communities. Livestock grazing can affect posttreatment successional dynamics, but these impacts have not received adequate study. This study evaluated herbaceous plant recovery in a cut western juniper woodland subjected to grazed and ungrazed prescriptions over 4 growing seasons. The study consisted of 4 treatments: ungrazed cut, grazed cut, ungrazed woodland, and grazed woodland. Stocking rates were 0.78 cow-calf pairs per ha for 5 days in the first year following treatment and 0.94 cow-calf pairs per ha for 4 days in the second year after treatment. The grazing portion of the study lacked true replication because grazed plots were not independent of each other (cattle had access to all plots simultaneously). This limits the strength and interpretation of the grazing results. Juniper cutting removed overstory interference and resulted in significant increases in herbaceous cover, biomass, and seed production when compared to adjacent woodlands. Herbaceous cover, standing crop, perennial grass density, and seed production all increased in the ungrazed cut treatment compared to ungrazed woodland. A similar level of response was measured in the grazed pasture where herbaceous responses were greater in the grazed cut vs. the grazed woodland. Grazing in the cut treatment did not limit herbaceous recovery except that perennial grass seed production was lower in the grazed cut than in the ungrazed cut. Rest or deferment is required the first several growing seasons after juniper cutting to provide plants the opportunity to maximize seed crops. These results imply that juniper cutting had a greater effect on herbaceous dynamics than did the grazing application. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - La expansión rápida del "western juniper" (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis Hook.) a través de la Gran Cuenca del Norte ha disminuido la composición de arbustos y plantas del estrato bajo ellos y reducido la producción vegetal. En Oregon y California, la remoción del "juniper" se ha acelerado durante la década pasada para reestablecer las comunidades esteparias de arbustos. El apacentamiento del ganado puede afectar la dinámica sucesional posterior al tratamiento, pero estos impactos no han sido estudiados adecuadamente. Este estudio evaluó la recuperación de plantas herbáceas en un bosque talado de "western juniper", sujeto a apacentamiento y exclusión por cuatro estaciones de crecimiento. El estudio consistió en cuatro tratamientos: sin apacentamiento con tala, apacentamiento con tala, bosque sin apacentamiento y bosque con apacentamiento. La carga animal fue de 0.78 pares de vaca-cría por ha durante 5 días en el primer año posterior al tratamiento y 0.94 pares vaca-cría por ha durante cuatro días en el segundo año posterior al tratamiento. La porción de apacentamiento careció de repeticiones verdaderas porque las parcelas de apacentadas no fueron independientes una de otra (el ganado tuvo acceso simultáneamente a todas las parcelas). El lector debe tener en consideración que esto limita la fortaleza e interpretación de los resultados de apacentamiento. La tala del "juniper" removió la interferencia de la biomasa aérea y resultó en un incremento significativo de la cobertura, biomasa y producción de semilla de las herbáceas en comparación con bosques adyacentes. La cobertura herbácea, biomasa en pie, densidad de zacates perennes y producción de semilla se incrementaron en el tratamiento sin apacentamiento con tala comparado con el...

AB  - Background: Longitudinal data on energy expenditure in children and adolescents are scarce. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in energy expenditure and physical activity in girls from late childhood through midadolescence. Design: We measured total energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water, resting metabolic rate (RMR) by indirect calorimetry, body composition by 18O dilution, and time spent in activity by an activity diary in 28 initially nonobese girls at ≈10, ≈12, and ≈15 y of age. Changes with age in TEE, RMR, and activity energy expenditure (AEE), both in absolute terms and in adjusted analyses, and in physical activity level (PAL) and time spent sleeping, being sedentary, and in moderate and vigorous activity were evaluated by mixedmodel repeated-measures analyses. Results: Absolute TEE and AEE increased significantly from age 10 to age 15 y (P<0.0001 for both). Absolute RMR at ages 12 and 15 y did not differ significantly, despite significant increases in fat-free mass and fat mass between the visits. PAL was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) at age 15 y than at age 10 or 12 y, whereas time spent being sedentary increased significantly from age 10 to age 15 y (P< 0.001), and AEE adjusted for fat-free mass appeared to decrease over the same interval. Conclusion: Conclusions drawn regarding changes with age in physical activity depend on the measure of physical activity assessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become one of the most frequently used methods for estimating human body composition. Although the DXA technique has been validated for the measurement of fat-free mass and fat mass, differences in calibration between instruments produced by different manufacturers, as well as between different models produced by the same manufacturer, have been reported. Objective: The objective was to compare the calibration of the QDR 4500A against criterion methods in a large heterogeneous population. Design: DXA-derived body-composition data were obtained from 7 studies: 6 data sets were provided by the investigators, one of which was published. The data included fat mass and fat-free mass measured with a QDR 4500A and criteria measurements of body composition from total body water by dilution at 4 centers, densitometry from 1 center, and four-compartment analysis at 2 centers. Results: In the cohort of 1195 subjects, 602 men and 593 women aged 19-82 y with a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 16-44, the fan-beam DXA overestimated fat-free mass (P < 0.05). A significant difference was observed in all 7 data sets, and the mean (±SE) was 5 ± 1%. Conclusions: It is recommended that the lean soft tissue mass estimate with the fan-beam QDR 4500A be reduced by 5% and that for fat mass be increased by that same mass. This finding is particularly important because the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is using the QDR 4500A to assess body composition in a nationally representative sample of persons in the United States.

AB  - Background: Fatty infiltration of the liver is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality in children with severe protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), but its pathogenesis remains unclear. Although impaired synthesis of VLDL apolipoprotein B-100 (VLDL-apo B-100) is generally accepted as the pathogenetic mechanism, the rate of it synthesis has not been measured in children with PEM. Objective: The objective of the study was to ascertain the relation between the degree of hepatic steatosis and the rate of VLDL-apo B-100 synthesis in children with PEM. Design: The fractional and absolute rates of VLDL-apo B-100 synthesis were measured with a prime-constant intravenous infusion of [2H3]leucine in 13 severely malnourished children (8 boys and 5 girls) aged 7-18 mo. Hepatic fat content was estimated by computerized tomography scanning by using the ratio of liver to spleen (L:S) attenuation. The ratio is inversely related to hepatic fat content such that the lower the L:S, the greater the amount of fat in the liver. Results: There were significant inverse relations between L:S attenuation and VLDL-apo B-100 concentration (P < 0.02), the absolute rate of VLDL-apo B-100 synthesis (P < 0.02), and plasma triacylglycerol (P < 0.02) and serum cholesterol (P < 0.05) concentrations. Conclusions: These results suggest that children with PEM synthesize VLDL-apo B-100 at a faster rate as the degree of hepatic fat infiltration increases. Thus, fatty infiltration of the liver in PEM is not due to a reduction in the synthesis of VLDL-apo B-100. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - US fuel economy standards have not been changed significantly in 20 years. Feebates are a market-based alternative in which vehicles with fuel consumption rates above a “pivot point” are charged fees while vehicles below receive rebates. By choice of pivot points, feebate systems can be made revenue neutral. Feebates have been analyzed before. This study re-examines feebates using recent data, assesses how the undervaluing of fuel economy by consumers might affect their efficacy, tests sensitivity to the cost of fuel economy technology and price elasticities of vehicle demand, and adds assessments of gas-guzzler taxes or rebates alone. A feebate rate of $500 per 0.01 gallon per mile (GPM) produces a 16 percent increase in fuel economy, while a $1000 per 0.01 GPM results in a 29 percent increase, even if consumers count only the first 3 years of fuel savings. Unit sales decline by about 0.5 percent but sales revenues increase because the added value of fuel economy technologies outweighs the decrease in sales. In all cases, the vast majority of fuel economy increase is due to adoption of fuel economy technologies rather than shifts in sales. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: African American women and socioeconomically challenged women are at risk of compromised folate status and, thus, of folate-related birth defects. Data are limited on circulating folate concentrations in pregnant African American women after folic acid fortification of the food supply was implemented. Objective: The objective was to determine the influence of smoking and alcohol consumption on plasma 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHFA) concentrations in pregnant African American women. Design: Alcohol consumption, smoking exposure, and other characteristics of pregnant African American women reporting to an inner-city antenatal clinic were assessed. At 24 wk of gestation, blood samples and food-frequency intake data were collected. Plasma 5-MTHFA concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry for 116 subjects and examined in a correlational study design. Results: Dietary folate and markers of alcohol consumption were positively associated, whereas exposure to smoke was negatively associated with plasma 5-MTHFA. More than one-half of the participants in this population failed to meet the recommended dietary allowance for dietary folate equivalents of 600 μg/d during pregnancy. Conclusions: Most inner-city African American women are not meeting the recommended dietary allowance for dietary folate during pregnancy, and smoking may further compromise their folate status. Programs to reduce smoking and raise awareness about the importance of folate and multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy need to target this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Feeding intolerance (ie, achieving and maintaining full enteral feedings) is a significant problem in preterm infants. A relation exists between feeding intolerance and incomplete lactose digestion. Objectives: We sought to identify the factors relating to lactose digestion and absorption, lactase activity, and small-intestinal mucosal growth. Design: Lactose digestion and absorption, lactase-specific activity, and lumen-to-mucosa water flux as a measure of small-intestinal mucosal surface area were determined by using the triple-lumen perfusion technique on 2 occasions 3 wk apart in 10 preterm infants (x ± SEM gestational age: 28.0 ± 0.2 wk). Results: Lactose digestion and absorption and lactase activity doubled between studies (P = 0.035 and P = 0.041, respectively). The change in digestion and absorption was related to lactase activity (P = 0.034, R2 = 0.38). Lactase activity correlated with gestational age at birth (P = 0.012, R2 = 0.51). The number of days of feeding explained 80% of the variability in small-intestinal mucosal surface area (P = 0.001). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study to measure directly lactose digestion and absorption, lactase activity, and small-intestinal surface area in preterm infants. Changes in lactose absorption relate primarily to lactase activity rather than to mucosal growth. We showed directly a relation between enteral feeding and smallintestinal mucosal growth.

T1  - Effects of alcohol on insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 in postmenopausal women.

AB  - Background: Increased circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations, frequently adjusted for IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), have been associated with increased risk of several types of cancer, including colon, prostate, and breast. Studies have suggested that alcohol may affect IGF-I or IGFBP-3; however, controlled feeding studies to assess alcohol's effects on IGF-I or IGFBP-3 have not been conducted. Objective: To determine whether chronic, moderate alcohol intake affects serum IGF-I or IGFBP-3 concentrations, we performed a controlled, crossover feeding study. Design: Fifty-three postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to consume 0 g (control), 15 g (one drink), or 30 g (2 drinks) alcohol daily for 8 wk and were rotated through the other 2 intake levels in random order. All foods and beverages were provided during the intervention. Individuals were monitored and calories adjusted to maintain constant weight, and serum was collected at the end of each diet period. Results: Compared with the effects of 0 g alcohol/d, IGF-I concentrations were nearly unchanged by 15 g alcohol/d (0.8%; 95% CI: -3.2%, 3.5%) but decreased significantly by 4.9% (95% CI: -8.0%, -1.6%) with 30 g alcohol/d. IGFBP-3 concentrations significantly increased by 3.0% (95% CI: 0.4%, 5.6%) with 15 g alcohol/d but did not increase significantly with 30 g/d (1.8%; 95% CI: -0.9%, 4.5%). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first published controlled diet study to find that in postmenopausal women, when weight is kept constant, alcohol consumption reduces the amount of serum IGF-I potentially available for receptor binding. These findings suggest that the effect of alcohol intake should be considered in studies of IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and cancer in postmenopausal women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Several clinical trials have suggested that soy intake decreases oxidative stress. Soy isoflavones have antioxidant properties in vitro, but results of supplementation in clinical trials are inconclusive. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the independent effects of soy protein and soy-derived isoflavones on plasma antioxidant capacity and biomarkers of oxidative stress. Design: Forty-two hypercholesterolemic (LDL cholesterol > 3.36 mmol/L) subjects aged >50 y were provided with each of 4 diets in random order in a crossover design. Diets varied in protein source (10% of energy, soy or animal) and isoflavone content (trace or 50 mg/1000 kcal) and were consumed for 42 d each. Plasma antioxidants, protein carbonyls, malondialdehyde, total antioxidant performance, LDL oxidizability, and urinary F2-isoprostanes were measured at the end of each dietary phase. Results: Plasma antioxidant concentrations were not significantly different, regardless of dietary treatment, except for isoflavones, which were higher after isoflavone supplementation (P = 0.0001). Although plasma total antioxidant performance was 10% higher with soy protein intake, regardless of dietary isoflavones (P = 0.0003), soy protein did not significantly affect most individual markers of oxidative stress (LDL oxidizability, urinary F2- isoprostanes, malondialdehyde, or protein carbonyls in native plasma). However, soy protein was associated with modestly lower concentrations of protein carbonyls in oxidized plasma. There was no significant effect of isoflavones on LDL oxidation, urinary F2- isoprostanes, or protein carbonyl groups, although, paradoxically, the plasma malondialdehyde concentration was significantly higher after the isoflavone-rich diets (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Diets relatively high in soy protein or soy-derived isoflavones have little effect on plasma antioxidant capacity and biomarkers of oxidative stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite elegant research involving molecular biology studies and determination of the genetic mechanisms of aging, practical information on how to forestall or reverse the deleterious effects of aging may be years away. If this is the case, then it is prudent to try to establish other methods that can be used now to alter the course of aging. Numerous epidemiologic studies have indicated that individuals who consume diets containing large amounts of fruits and vegetables may reduce their risk for developing age-related diseases such as Alzheimer disease. Research from our laboratory suggested that dietary supplementation with fruit or vegetable extracts high in antioxidants (eg, blueberry or spinach extracts) might decrease the enhanced vulnerability to oxidative stress that occurs in aging. These reductions might be expressed as improvements in motor and cognitive behavior. Additional research suggested that mechanisms in addition to antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities might be involved in the beneficial effects of these extracts; the most important of these might be their ability to increase cellular signaling and neuronal communication.

AB  - In this three-phase study we first compared the availability of fourteen Fe forms in a wheat-based ready-to-eat breakfast cereal using an in vitro digestion/human colonic adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2) cell model. We then investigated the effect of milk and/or coffee on those fortified cereals found in phase 1 to show promising increases in Fe availability. The Fe forms assessed in phase 1 were reduced (control), carbonyl, electrolytic, FePO4, FeSO4, FeCO3, Na2FeEDTA, Ferrochel?? (Albion Laboratories, Clearfield, UT, USA; ferrous bis-glycinate), encapsulated ferrous fumarate, FeSO4, ferrous lactate and Biofer?? (LipoTech, Britwell Salome, Oxfordshire; FeSO4), SQM?? (Sea-Questra-Min Iron; Quali Tech, Chaska, MN, USA; polysaccharide-complexed FeSO4) and Sun Active?? (Taiyo Kagaku, Yokkaichi, Japan). All these forms increased Fe uptake compared with the unfortified cereal. Relative to the control, the following increases in Fe availability were observed: electrolytic, 52 %; ferrous fumarate, 30???35 %; Sun Active, 78 %; Ferrochel, 125 %; Na2FeEDTA, 291 %. Recent human studies have shown similar data with regard to Ferrochel, FeSO4 and Na2FeEDTA, with the latter being more bioavailable. Our phase-2 studies indicated that the addition of milk to FeSO4-fortified cereal increased Fe availability, but this availability was markedly decreased by the addition of coffee to the digest. Conversely, a loss in availability from Na2FeEDTA was observed with the addition of milk; however, the addition of coffee did not markedly affect Fe availability from this form. In phase-3 studies we observed increased Fe availability upon the addition of milk to cereals containing Ferrochel, FeSO4, Sun Active, a mixture of reduced Fe and Na2FeEDTA or reduced Fe. For these forms we did not assess the behaviour after the addition of coffee. In conclusion, when considering possible fortificants for optimizing Fe bioavailability within a foodstuff, it is of paramount importance to consider the interaction between the fortified foodstuffs and other components of the meal (such as milk and coffee with a breakfast).

AB  - The availability of folate is implicated as a determinant of DNA methylation, a functionally important feature of DNA. Nevertheless, when this phenomenon has been examined in the rodent model, the effect has not always been observed. Several reasons have been postulated for the inconsistency between studies: the rodent is less dependent on folate as a methyl source than man; juvenile animals, which most studies use, are more resistant to folate depletion than old animals; methods to measure genomic DNA methylation might not be sensitive enough to detect differences. We therefore examined the relationship between folate and genomic DNA methylation in an elder rat model with a newly developed method that can measure genomic DNA methylation sensitively and precisely. Thirty-nine 1-year-old rats were divided into three groups and fed a diet containing 0, 4??5 or 18 ??mol folate/kg (folate-deplete, -replete and -supplemented groups, respectively). Rats were killed at 8 and 20 weeks. At both time points, mean liver folate concentrations increased incrementally between the folate-deplete, -replete and -supplemented rats (P for trend <0??001) and by 20 weeks hepatic DNA methylation also increased incrementally between the folate-deplete, -replete and -supplemented rats (P for trend=0??025). At both time points folate-supplemented rats had significantly increased levels of DNA methylation compared with folate-deplete\ rats (P<0??05). There was a strong correlation between hepatic folate concentration and genomic DNA methylation in the liver (r 0??48, P=0??004). In the liver of this animal model, dietary folate over a wide range of intakes modulates genomic DNA methylation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Background: Because recent data on the effects of mineral concentrations in preterm infant formula on bone mineralization are lacking, recommendations for the mineral content of preterm infant formula differ greatly between committees. Objective: The goal of the study was to assess the effects of an isocaloric, nutrient-enriched preterm formula, which was fed from the age when full enteral feedings were tolerated through expected term, on bone mineralization in preterm infants. Design: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind study in healthy, preterm infants (gestational age of 28-32 wk) who were fed either a control preterm formula (n = 20) or an isocaloric, nutrient-enriched preterm formula (n = 21) until 3 mo of age (ie, approximate expected term). Serum calcium indexes were taken throughout the study, and bone mass was determined by using dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry at hospital discharge and expected term. Results:Atotal of 37 infants (experimental formula, n = 19; control formula, n = 18) completed the study. Compared with control subjects, infants fed the experimental formula had 25% and 40% higher intakes of calcium and phosphorus, respectively. Serum calcium, phosphorus, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase concentrations and urinary collagen type I cross-linked N-telopetide concentrations were not significantly different between the groups at any time point. The bone mineral content of infants fed the experimental formula was 23% (P = 0.039) and 35% (P = 0.002) higher at hospital discharge and expected term, respectively. Conclusions: Bone mineralization at hospital discharge and expected term was significantly higher in preterm infants fed the isocaloric, nutrient-enriched formula than in those fed control formula. Continuation of the experimental formula beyond hospital discharge, through expected term, further improved bone mineralization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Vitamin D is acquired through diet and skin exposure to ultraviolet B light. Skin production is determined by length of exposure, latitude, season, and degree of skin pigmentation. Blacks produce less vitamin D3 than do whites in response to usual levels of sun exposure and have lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in winter and summer. Blacks in the United States also use dietary supplements less frequently than do whites. However, blacks and whites appear to have similar capacities to absorb vitamin D and to produce vitamin D after repeated high doses of ultraviolet B light. There is a growing consensus that serum 25(OH)D concentrations of at least 75-80 nmol/L are needed for optimal bone health, on the basis of studies of older white subjects living in Europe and the United States. The studies show that increasing serum 25(OH)D concentrations to this level decreases parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations, decreases rates of bone loss, and reduces rates of fractures. Among US blacks, low 25(OH)D concentrations are associated with higher concentrations of PTH, which are associated with lower bone mineral density. Vitamin D supplements decrease PTH and bone turnover marker concentrations among blacks. These findings suggest that improving vitamin D status would benefit blacks as well as whites. On the basis of studies conducted in the temperate zone, the intake of vitamin D3 needed to maintain a group average 25(OH)D concentration of 80 nmol/L in winter is ~1000 IU/d. Broad-based vitamin D supplementation is needed to remove vitamin D insufficiency as a contributing cause of osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Nicaragua initiated a national program of vitamin A fortification of its domestic sugar supply starting with the 1999-2000 sugarcane harvest. Objective: This study was conducted to document any change in the vitamin A status of a cohort of children during the first year of the program. Design: The vitamin A status of 21 Nicaraguan schoolchildren (mean age: 6.7 y; range: 5.3-9.3 y) was assessed in March 2000 and in March 2001. Total-body vitamin A stores and liver vitamin A concentrations were estimated with the deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique at a dose of 5 mg [2H4]retinyl acetate at baseline and 5mg [2H8]retinyl acetate during the repeat test 1 y later. Plasma retinol and carotenoids were measured by HPLC. Results: Median total-body vitamin A stores increased from 0.33 to 0.72 mmol (P = 0.0001), liver vitamin A concentrations from 0.52 to 0.78 μmol/g (P = 0.0003), and plasma retinol concentrations increased from 0.97 to 1.17 μmol/L (P = 0.01). Conclusion: The vitamin A status of Nicaraguan schoolchildren improved during the year after the initial distribution of vitamin A-fortified sugar in Nicaragua. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Boron is a bioactive element that satisfies several of the criteria for essentiality in humans. Objective: The objective was to establish the profile of boron metabolism in human milk. Design: Lactating mothers of premature (PRT; n = 10, <2000 g birth weight, <37 wk gestation) and full-term (FT; n = 10, >2500 g, 39-41 wk gestation) infants living in St John's, Canada, collected milk samples once a week for 12 wk. Samples were analyzed for boron, copper, iron, selenium, and zinc by atomic emission or absorption spectrometry after wet-ash digestion with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in polytetrafluoroethylene tubes. Results: A mixed-model analysis of variance indicated that boron concentrations were stable in full-term (30 and 28 μg/L milk; P = 0.5) but not in preterm (37 and 27 μg/L; P = 0.01) milk between weeks 1 and 12, respectively. As expected, there were reductions in the concentrations of copper (FT: 651 to 360 μg/L, P<0.0001; PRT: 542 to 425, P=0.05), iron (FT: 355 to 225 μg/L, P=0.0003; PRT: 406 to 287, P=0.002), selenium (FT: 26.9 to 18.6 μg/L, P<0.0001; PRT: 28.7 to 20.4, P < 0.0001), and zinc (FT: 4060 to 1190 μg/L, P < 0.0001; PRT: 5970 to 1270, P < 0.0001) over time. Conclusions: The stable milk boron concentrations over time suggest that boron may be under homeostatic control. The patterns of change in copper, iron, selenium, and zinc concentrations in milk differ from those of boron. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism of milk boron secretion.

AB  - Background: Nutritional rickets is common in Nigerian children and responds to calcium supplementation. Low dietary calcium intakes are also common in Nigerian children with and without rickets. Objective: The objective was to assess intestinal calcium absorption in Nigerian children with rickets. Design: Calcium absorption was assessed in 15 children with active rickets (2-8 y of age) and in 15 age- and sex-matched children without rickets by using a dual-tracer stable-isotope method. The children with rickets were supplemented with calcium for 6 mo; calcium absorption was reevaluated 12 mo after the baseline study. Fractional calcium absorption could be determined in 10 children with rickets and in 10 children without rickets. Results: The children with and without rickets had dietary calcium intakes of ≈200 mg/d. Compared with the control children, the children with rickets had lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium concentrations and greater 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone concentrations. In fact, there were 15 rachitic and 15 control children in the study. Mean (±SD) fractional calcium absorption did not differ between those with (61±20%) and without (63 ± 13%) rickets (P = 0.47). Calcium absorption was not associated with serum concentrations of calcium, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, or parathyroid hormone. Mean fractional calcium absorption was significantly greater after (81 ± 10%) than before (61 ± 20%) calcium supplementation for the treatment of rickets (P = 0.035). Conclusions: In Nigerian children with rickets, the capacity to absorb calcium is not impaired; however, fractional calcium absorption increases after the resolution of active disease. Calcium absorption may be inadequate to meet the skeletal demands of children with rickets during the active phase of the disease, despite being similar to that of control children.

AB  - Brown rice is used as a bait-carrier for the avicide DRC-1339 (3-chloro-4-methylaniline) when baiting blackbirds (Icteridae). In March and April 1996 and 1997, we assessed non-target granivorous bird use of rice-baited plots placed in harvested corn and soybean fields in eastern South Dakota for 168 observation hours. In both years combined, we identified 10 and 14 granivorous species in corn and soybean fields, respectively. In 1996 (X = 0.2, SE = 0.04) and 1997 (X = 1.2, SE = 0.38), total numbers of granivores min-1 were similar between crops (P ≥ 0.322). In 1996, bird numbers were higher (P = 0.069) in rice-baited fields (X = 0.3, SE = 0.07) than in unbaited reference fields (X = 0.1, SE = 0.04). In 1997, bird numbers (X = 1.2, SE = 0.38) did not differ between treatments (P = 0.456). Our data show that small numbers of non-target birds visited the rice-baited plots. However, total number of different individual birds using the plots was unknown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Previous studies suggested that dietary intakes affect individual risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine dietary intakes in 1181 young adults aged 19-38 y (38.1%men; 25% African Americans and 75% whites) in relation to metabolic syndrome risk factors in the Bogalusa Heart Study. Design: Participants were stratified into 3 groups according to the number of risk factors (0, 1-2, ⩾3) associated with the metabolic syndrome according to the diagnostic criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program, and dietary intakes were compared between the groups with a cross-sectional analysis. Results: After adjustment for age, total energy intake, body mass index, and physical activity, mean (± SE) intakes of fruit, fruit juice, and vegetables were significantly higher in subjects who had no risk factors than in subjects who had 1-2 risk factors (3.30 ± 0.09 compared with 2.99 ± 0.07 servings/d; P < 0.05). The mean intake of sweetened beverages was lower in subjects who had no risk factors than in subjects who had 1-2 risk factors or ⩾3 risk factors among whites (1.45 ± 0.08 compared with 1.77 ± 0.07 and 2.22 ± 0.15 serving/d, respectively, in men; 1.26 ± 0.06 compared with 1.62 ± 0.05 and 1.78 ± 0.13 servings/d, respectively, in women; P < 0.001) but not among African Americans. Conclusion: Our results suggest that low fruit and vegetable consumption and high sweetened beverage consumption are independently associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in specific sex-ethnicity populations.

AB  - Background: Apolipoprotein A5 plays an important role in modulating triacylglycerol metabolism in experimental animal models. Objective: The objective was to determine associations of the common apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) - 1131T→ C polymorphism with postprandial lipemic response and other cardiovascular disease risk factors in humans. Design: Healthy, nonobese subjects [n = 158; mean (±SEM) age: 33.8 ± 1.2 y; body mass index (inkg/m2): 23.3 ± 0.3] were subdivided into 3 genotype groups: TT (n = 85), TC (n = 56), and CC (n = 17). We measured fasting and postprandial lipid concentrations, lipid peroxidation, C-reactive protein concentrations, and DNA damage. Results: Fasting triacylglycerol concentrations in carriers of the C allele were higher (P < 0.05) than in carriers of the TT genotype. No other significant genotype-related differences were observed for any of the other baseline measures. After consumption of a mixed meal, carriers of the C allele had significantly greater increases in total chylomicron and VLDL triacylglycerol than did subjects with the TT genotype. Moreover, carriers of the C allele had higher dense LDL, serum C-reactive protein, and urinary 8-epi-prostaglandin F2a concentrations and more lymphocyte DNA damage. Conversely, we did not find significant genotype-related differences in postprandial glucose, insulin, or free fatty acid measures. Conclusions: Our data confirm the genetic modulation of serum fasting triacylglycerol concentrations by the APOA5 gene polymorphism and extend this observation to postprandial triacylglycerol concentrations and to markers of oxidation and inflammation. The presence of the C allele in the APOA5 promoter region at position 1131 could be a significant factor contributing to higher cardiovascular disease risk in Koreans independently of common environmental factors.

AB  - Germline transformation systems for nearly 20 insect species have been derived from transposable elements, allowing the development of transgenic insects for basic and applied studies. These systems use a defective nonautonomous vector that results in stable vector integrations after the disappearance of transiently provided transposase helper plasmid, which is essential to maintain true breeding lines and consistent transgene expression that would otherwise be lost after vector remobilization. The risk of remobilization by an unintended transposase source has so far not been a concern for laboratory studies, but the prospective use of millions of transgenic insects in biocontrol programs will likely increase the risk, therefore making this a critical issue for the ecological safety of field release programs. Here we describe an efficient method that deletes a terminal repeat sequence of a transposon vector after genomic integration. This procedure prevents transposase-mediated remobilization of the other terminal sequence and associated genes, ensuring their genomic stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Despite the growing use of patterning methods in nutritional epidemiology, a direct comparison of factor and cluster analysis methods has not been performed. Objective: Our main objective was to compare patterns derived from the cluster and factor analysis procedures with measures of plasma lipids. Design: This cross-sectional study included 459 healthy subjects who participated in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and had measures of diet and plasma lipids. Eating patterns were derived by using both factor and cluster analysis methods. Results: In separate multivariate-adjusted regression models, subjects in the healthy cluster had lower plasma triacylglycerols than did those not in the healthy cluster (β = -15.97; 95% CI: -29.51, -2.43;P < 0.05), and factor 1 (reduced-fat dairy products, fruit, and fiber) was inversely related to plasma triacylglycerols (β = -7.02 mg/dL for a one-unit increase in z score; 95% CI: -12.92, -1.12; P < 0.05). Those in the alcohol cluster had higher total cholesterol concentrations than did those not in the alcohol cluster (β = 12.81; 95% CI: 2.74, 22.88; P < 0.05), and factor 2 (protein and alcohol) was also directly associated with total cholesterol (β = 1.59 for a one-unit increase in z score; 95% CI: 0.55, 2.63; P < 0.05). The multivariate model containing all of the clusters was not significantly different from the model containing all of the factors in predicting each lipid outcome. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence of comparability between cluster and factor analysis methods in relation to plasma lipid biomarkers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Low zinc intakes and reduced blood zinc concentrations have been reported to be associated with osteoporosis in women. Objective: The objective was to examine the independent association between dietary zinc and plasma zinc and the association of each with bone mineral density (BMD) and 4-y bone loss in community-dwelling older men. Design: Of the original Rancho Bernardo Study subjects, 396 men (age: 45-92 y) completed BMD measurements at baseline in 1988-1992 and 4 y later. Osteoporosis was defined as a BMD ⩾ 2.5 SDs below the mean for young women (a T-score⩽-2.5). At baseline, dietary intake data were collected by using a standard food-frequency questionnaire, and plasma zinc concentrations were measured by using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. Results: The mean dietary zinc intake was 11.2 mg, and the mean plasma zinc concentration was 12.7 ⩾mol/L. Plasma zinc was correlated with total zinc intake (diet plus supplements). Dietary zinc intake and plasma zinc concentrations were lower in men with osteoporosis at the hip and spine than in men without osteoporosis at those locations. BMDs for the hip, spine, and distal wrist were significantly lower in men in the lowest plasma zinc quartile (<11.3 ⩾mol/L) than in men with higher plasma zinc concentrations. The association between plasma zinc and BMD was cross-sectional, longitudinal, and independent of age or body mass index. However, plasma zinc did not predict bone loss during the 4-y interval. Conclusion: Dietary zinc intake and plasma zinc each have a positive association with BMD in men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Higher intakes of fish and n-3 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. However, limited data exist on the effect of fish intake on actual measures of progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Objective: The aim was to examine the association between fish intake and the progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in women with coronary artery disease. Design: This was a prospective cohort study of postmenopausal women (n = 229) participating in the Estrogen Replacement and Atherosclerosis trial. Usual fish intake was estimated at baseline with a food-frequency questionnaire. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed at baseline and after 3.2 ± 0.6 (x ± SD) y to evaluate changes in the mean minimum coronary artery diameter, the mean percentage of stenosis, and the development of new coronary lesions. Results: Compared with lower fish intakes, consumption of ⩾2 servings of fish or ⩾1 serving of tuna or dark fish per week was associated with smaller increases in the percentage of stenosis (4.54 ± 1.37% compared with -0.06 ± 1.59% and 5.12 ± 1.48% compared with 0.35 ± 1.47%, respectively; P < 0.05 for both) in diabetic women after adjustments for age, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and dietary intakes of fatty acids, cholesterol, fiber, and alcohol. These associations were not significant in nondiabetic women. Higher fish consumption was also associated with smaller decreases in minimum coronary artery diameter and fewer new lesions. Conclusions: Consumption of fish is associated with a significantly reduced progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in women with coronary artery disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A method to better monitor landscape-level fire characteristics is presented. Three study areas in southern Ohio oak-hickory (Quercus-Carya) forests were established with four treatment areas of ~20 ha each: control (C), burn only (B), thin only (T) or thin plus burn (TB). Two independent measures useful for qualitatively characterising fire intensity were established on a 50-m grid, resulting in over 120 sampling locations at each site, in the burned areas: aluminum tags painted with temperature-sensitive paints, and logger-probe units that logged probe temperature every 2 s during burns. Fires were conducted in spring 2001. The logger-probe units allowed five measures qualitatively related to fire intensity or timing to be calculated at each grid point: maximum probe temperature; duration of probe temperature above 30C; a heat index, defined as the summed temperatures above 30C; time of maximum temperature; and estimated rate of spread. Maximum temperatures recorded by the two measuring systems were highly correlated (r2 = 0.83). Relative to painted tags, logger-probe units provide information useful for assessing some other components of fire behaviour. The temporal recording of temperatures allowed us to prepare a web-based simulation of the fires. Heat index and rate of spread estimates provided additional fire information. The TB units consistently burned cooler than the B units, perhaps because of uncured slash and a disrupted fuel bed in those units. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Physiologic adjustments in calcium homeostasis during pregnancy and lactation in women with marginal calcium intakes have not been described. Objective: The objective was to examine longitudinal changes in various aspects of calcium homeostasis during pregnancy and lactation in 9 healthy Brazilian women who habitually consumed ≈ 500 mg Ca/d. Design: Calcium homeostasis was assessed at 3 time points: 10-12 (early pregnancy, EP) and 34-36 (late pregnancy, LP) wk of pregnancy and 7-8 wk postpartum (early lactation, EL). At each time point, the following variables were measured: dietary calcium intake with a 3-d weighed food record, 24-h urinary calcium excretion (UCa), intestinal calcium absorption (%CaAbs) via administration of stable calcium isotopes with a breakfast meal, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and biochemical markers of bone turnover. Results: Dietary calcium did not change during the study. %CaAbs increased from 69.7 ± 5.4% (x ± SEM) during EP to 87.6 ± 4.5% during LP (P < 0.05) and returned to 65.1 ± 6.2% during EL. Compared with EP, UCa decreased 22% during LP and 68% during EL (P < 0.05). The net mean change in calcium retention was 212 mg/d during LP and 182 mg/d during EL. Several significant associations were found between the main outcome variables (%CaAbs, UCa, and markers of bone turnover) and serum hormones, especially IGF-I and PTH. Conclusions: Calcium homeostasis appears to be attained by a more efficient intestinal calcium absorption during pregnancy and by renal calcium conservation during both pregnancy and lactation. IGF-I and PTH seem to play major roles in the adjustment of calcium metabolism during pregnancy and lactation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Sixty-five percent of US adults are overweight, and 31% of these adults are obese. Obesity results from weight gains over time; however, dietary determinants of weight gain remain controversial. Objective: Our objective was to examine whether food patterns derived from exploratory factor analysis are related to anthropometric changes. We hypothesized that we would derive a healthy food pattern and that it would predict smaller changes in body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) and waist circumference (in cm) than would other food patterns in models adjusted for baseline anthropometric measures. Design: The subjects were 459 healthy men and women participating in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Diet was assessed by using 7-d dietary records, from which 40 food groups were formed and entered into a factor analysis. Results: Six food patterns were derived. Factor 1 (reduced-fat dairy products, fruit, and fiber) was most strongly associated with fiber (r=0.39) and loaded heavily on reduced-fat dairy products, cereal, and fruit and loaded moderately on fruit juice, nonwhite bread, nuts and seeds, whole grains, and beans and legumes. In a multivariateadjusted model in which the highest and lowest quintiles were compared, factor 1 was inversely associated with annual change in BMI (β=-0.51; 95% CI: -0.82, -0.20; P < 0.05; P for trend < 0.01) in women and inversely associated with annual change in waist circumference (β = =1.06 cm; 95% CI: -1.88, -0.24 cm; P < 0.05; P for trend = 0.04) in both sexes. Conclusion: Our results suggest that a pattern rich in reduced-fat dairy products and high-fiber foods may lead to smaller gains in BMI in women and smaller gains in waist circumference in both women and men.

AB  - Background: An increased central distribution of fat with advancing age is associated with chronic metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities. Little is known about the magnitude or pattern of fat distribution and its association with healthy aging. Objective: This study describes ≈10-y changes in body composition at 11 anthropometric sites in elderly persons and the metabolic and physical activity factors associated with these changes. Design: Skinfold thicknesses, girths, body fat by hydrodensitometry, physical activity by questionnaire, and metabolic variables were examined twice, 9.4 ± 1.4 y apart, in 54 men and 75 women aged 60.4 ± 7.8 y at baseline. Results: Subcutaneous fat declined (-17.2%; P<0.001), whereas total fat mass increased (7.2%; P < 0.05). Waist and hip circumference changes were the best anthropometric predictors of total fat mass change (r2=0.40-0.65, P<0.0001). Thigh girth change was more strongly associated with fat-free mass change (r2=0.22, P< 0.01) than with fat mass change (r2=0.07, P<0.05) in women. An increase in physical activity was associated with an attenuation of thigh girth decline in men and women (F ratio = 5.13, P < 0.007). Traditional metabolic markers of visceral adiposity (triacylglycerol, glucose, and total cholesterol) were not significantly related to the change in waist circumference. Conclusions: Skinfold thicknesses cannot be used to assess changes in body fat mass because of age-related fat redistribution. Higher levels of physical activity can attenuate the decline in appendicular lean tissue expected over 10 y. Waist and thigh girths, rather than skinfold thicknesses, should be considered for use in longitudinal studies in the elderly because the changes in these girths capture increased abdominal adiposity and sarcopenia, respectively.

AB  - Background: Zinc deficiency is increasingly recognized as an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Children in developing countries are at especially high risk because of relatively low zinc intakes and poor bioavailability. Objective: We assessed the effect of 2-wk adaptation to low zinc intake (4 mg/d) on fractional zinc absorption, endogenous fecal zinc excretion, and urinary zinc excretion. Design: Sixteen healthy 9-14-y-old girls were studied twice in random order after 2-wk adaptation to diets providing either 12 mg/d (high) or 4 mg/d (low) zinc. Fractional zinc absorption and endogenous fecal zinc excretion were measured with use of established stable isotope techniques. Results: Plasma zinc was not significantly lower during the low dietary intake period (1.06±0.18 mg/L) than during the high dietary intake period (1.14±0.23 mg/L, P=0.30). Endogenous fecal zinc excretion was significantly lower during the low intake period (1.08 ± 0.62 mg/d) than during the high intake period (1.82±0.95 mg/d, P < 0.026), but there was no significant change in fractional zinc absorption (30.6% ± 12.4% compared with 26.6% ± 9.0%, P = 0.32) or urinary zinc excretion (0.68 ± 0.35 mg/d compared with 0.59 ± 0.24 mg/d, P = 0.30). Approximate zinc balance was significantly lower during the low-intake period than during the highintake period (P = 0.007) and significantly (P < 0.0001) less than zero. Conclusion: Short-term zinc restriction in premenarcheal girls leads to a significant decrease in endogenous fecal zinc excretion, which was inadequate to restore normal zinc balance.

AB  - In order to examine how fundamental soil N cycling processes are affected by elevated N inputs to temperate forest ecosystems, we made concurrent laboratory measurements of gross rates of nitrogen (N) mineralization, nitrification, nitrate (NO3-) consumption, ammonium (NH4+) immobilization, nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) production, and NO consumption in soils from the Harvard Forest Chronic N Amendment Study. Gross nitrification rates varied with N addition rate in a manner that was entirely consistent with patterns of NO3- leaching and NO emissions that have been previously observed in field studies. Gross nitrification was elevated above controls in soils from a pine stand receiving 5 and 15 g N m-2 per year, and in soils from a hardwood stand receiving 15 g N m-2 per year. Gross nitrification tended to increase with decreasing soil pH, suggesting that acid-tolerant nitrifying bacteria predominate in these soils. Different patterns of inorganic N consumption in the two stands may provide some clues to understanding the more rapid onset of N saturation that has been historically observed in the pine stand. Absolute rates of NH4+ immobilization, and rates of NO3- consumption per unit of available NO3-, each tended to decrease with increasing N addition in the hardwood stand, but did not vary significantly in the pine stand. Gross NO production rates increased in a manner that was consistent with nitrification rate increases, and represented up to 19% of gross nitrification. Production of N2O was generally ≤15% of NO production and <1% of gross nitrification. Consumption of NO represented ≥96% of gross NO production and may have contributed up to 25% of total NO3- production. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Hardwood waste such as oak chips is an abundant, high-carbon content by- product with little value other than for burning as fuel. This study optimizes  conditions for the production of granular activated carbon, which has excellent metal ion adsorption  properties, using oak chips as a source material. Oak chips were dehydrated with 30% phosphoric  acid at 170°C and activated at 400-500°C in the presence of breathing air. Metal ion  (Cu2+) adsorption capacities for two representative hardwood-based carbons were 1.1-1.2 mmol  Cu2+ adsorbed/g of carbon. Surface areas of the two carbons were 656 and 730 m²/g,  respectively, and surface charges were 3.44 and 4.16 mmol H+ eq/g, respectively. These  carbons were compared with several commercial metal-ion-adsorbing materials to determine their  efficacy relative to the commercial samples. The comparative studies indicated that oak chip  carbons had higher metal ion adsorption capacities than all of the commercial samples except for  the materials containing carbon/cation exchange resin mixtures.

AB  - Background: Cases of enhanced anticoagulant effect in response to high-dose vitamin E supplementation have been reported among patients taking oral anticoagulants. Although a vitamin E-vitamin K interaction was proposed to underlie this effect, it has not been systematically investigated in adults with normal baseline coagulation status. Objective: The objective was to study the effect of 12 wk of supplementation with 1000 IU RRR-α-tocopherol/d on biochemical measures of vitamin K status in men and women not taking oral anticoagulants. Design: Vitamin K status, which was assessed with the use of plasma phylloquinone concentrations, the degree of under-γ-carboxylation of prothrombin (proteins induced by vitamin K absence-factor II, PIVKA-II), and the percentage of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), was determined in 38 men and women with rheumatoid arthritis (study A) and in 32 healthy men (study B) participating in 2 independent, 12-wk randomized clinical trials of vitamin E supplementation (1000 IU/d). Results: Mean (± SD) PIVKA-II increased from 1.7 ± 1.7 to 11.9 ± 16.1 ng/mL (P < 0.001) in study A and from 1.8 ± 0.6 to 5.3 ± 3.9 ng/mL (P < 0.001) in study B in response to 12 wk of vitamin E supplementation. An increase in PIVKA-II is indicative of poor vitamin K status. In contrast, the other measures of vitamin K status (ie, plasma phylloquinone concentration and percentage of ucOC) did not change significantly in response to the supplementation. Conclusions: High-dose vitamin E supplementation increased PIVKA-II in adults not receiving oral anticoagulant therapy. The clinical significance of these changes warrants further investigation, but high doses of vitamin E may antagonize vitamin K. Whether such an interaction is potentially beneficial or harmful remains to be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Periodontal disease (PD) is a common chronic inflammatory disease and an important risk factor for tooth loss. Vitamin D might affect periodontal disease risk via an effect on bone mineral density (BMD) or via immunomodulatory effects. Objective: The objective was to evaluate whether serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] concentrations are associated with PD in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Design: We analyzed data on periodontal attachment loss (AL) and serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations from 11 202 subjects aged ≥20 y. Mean AL was modeled in a multiple linear regression with quintile of serum 25(OH)D3 concentration as an independent variable. The model was stratified by age and sex and was adjusted for age within age groups, race or ethnicity, smoking, diabetes, poverty income ratio, body mass index, estrogen use, and gingival bleeding. Results: 25(OH)D3 concentrations were significantly and inversely associated with AL in men and women aged ≥50 y. Compared with men in the highest 25(OH)D33quintile, those in the lowest quintile had a mean AL that was 0.39 mm (95% CI: 0.17, 0.60 mm) higher; in women, the difference in AL between the lowest and highest quintiles was 0.26 mm (0.09, 0.43 mm). In men and women younger than 50 y, there was no significant association between 25(OH)D3 and AL. The BMD of the total femoral region was not associated with AL and did not mediate the association between 25(OH)D3 and AL. Conclusions: Low serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations may be associated with PD independently of BMD. Given the high prevalence of PD and vitamin D deficiency, these findings may have important public health implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ornithogalum dubium hybrid 327 clone 2 ('327-2') bulbs were stored dry at 10% 16°, 22°, 28°, and 35°C for six weeks after harvest. After storage, bulbs were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain the spinlattice relaxation time (T1) profile across the transverse section of intact bulbs, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe inflorescence development, and by forcing in a 18.5°/18°C greenhouse to observe growth and flowering responses. Bulbs treated at 10°C had the shortest T1 (0.33 ms) through the bulb which is largely composed of scales. Leaf emergence from bulbs treated at 10°C was delayed, and plants failed to flower. This indicated that bulbs were dormant and dormancy was not broken, thus delaying initiation of floral organs. Bulbs treated at 220C and 28°C formed the primary inflorescence with several florets. At the base of the primary scape of bulbs treated at 22°C, a vegetative apex was observed by both MRI and SEM. In the centre of bulbs where both leaves and floral organs were present, T1 was longer than that of the scales. This suggests that dormancy in the scales was broken and the leaves and scape were ready to emerge. Flowering was fastest when bulbs were treated at 22°C. The number of florets was the highest (16.0 florets) and fewest (12.6 florets) when bulbs were treated at 22°C and 35°C, respectively. Ornithogalum dubiurn bulbs stored at 25° and 30°C for six weeks flowered from 14 and 17 bulbs, respectively, out of 22 and flowered earlier than when stored either at lower or high temperatures. The response obtained O. dubium '327-2' hybrid was attributed to its pedigree involving O. dubium. Due to its non-destructive nature, MRI can be used to observe inflorescence development inside the bulbs during bulb storage and possibly to study the state of dormancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The need to transfer information across a range of spacetime scales (i.e. scaling) is coupled with the need to predict variables and processes of interest across landscapes (i.e. distributed simulation). Agricultural landscapes offer a unique set of problems and spacetime data availability with the onset of satellite-based positioning and crop yield monitoring. The present study addresses quantification of the spatial variability of rainfed crop yield and near-surface soil water at farm field scales using two general methods: (1) geostatistical and fractal analyses; and (2) univariate linear regression using topographic attributes as explanatory variables. These methods are applied to 2 years of crop yield data from three fields in eastern Colorado, USA, and to soil-water content (depth-averaged over the top 30 cm) in one of these fields. Method 1 is useful for scaling each variable, and variogram shapes and their associated fractal dimensions of crop yield are related to those of topographic attributes. A new measure of fractal anisotropy is introduced and estimated from field data. Method 2 takes advantage of empirical and process knowledge of topographic controls on water movement and microenvironments. Topographic attributes, estimated from a digital elevation model at some scale (10 m by 10 m spacing here), help explain the spatial variability in crop yield. The topographic wetness index, for example, explained from 38 to 48% of the spatial variance in 1997 wheat yield. Soil water displays more random spatial variability, and its dynamic nature makes it difficult to predict in both space and time. Despite such variability, spatial structure is evident and can be approximated by simple fractals out to lag distances of about 450 m. In summary, these data and spatial analyses provide a basis and motivation for estimating the fractal behaviour, spatial statistics, and distributed patterns of crop yield from landscape topographic information.

AB  - Background: Energy requirements during pregnancy remain controversial because of uncertainties regarding maternal fat deposition and reductions in physical activity. Objective: This study was designed to estimate the energy requirements of healthy underweight, normal-weight, and overweight pregnant women and to explore energetic adaptations to pregnancy. Design: The energy requirements of 63 women [17 with a low body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2), 34 with a normal BMI, and 12 with a high BMI] were estimated at 0, 9, 22, and 36 wk of pregnancy and at 27 wk postpartum. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was measured by calorimetry, total energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water, and activity energy expenditure (AEE) as TEE - BMR. Energy deposition was calculated from changes in body protein and fat. Energy requirements equaled the sum ofTEEand energy deposition. Results: BMR increased gradually throughout pregnancy at a mean (±SD) rate of 10.7 ± 5.4 kcal/gestational week, whereas TEE increased by 5.2±12.8 kcal/gestational week, which indicated a slight decrease in AEE. Energy costs of pregnancy depended on BMI group. Although total protein deposition did not differ significantly by BMI group (mean for the 3 groups: 611 g protein),FMdeposition did (5.3, 4.6, and 8.4 kg FM in the low-, normal-, and high-BMI groups; P=0.02). Thus, energy costs differed significantly by BMI group (P = 0.02). In the normal-BMI group, energy requirements increased negligibly in the first trimester, by 350 kcal/d in the second trimester, and by 500 kcal/d in the third trimester. Conclusion: Extra energy intake is required by healthy pregnant women to support adequate gestational weight gain and increases in BMR, which are not totally offset by reductions in AEE.

AB  - Background: Identification of allelic variants in a single gene that determine the phytate content of maize kernels and the subsequent breeding of low-phytate maize have facilitated studies designed to determine quantitatively the effects of maize phytate on the bioavailability of minerals in maize. Objective: The objective was to determine the relation between the fractional absorption of zinc (FAZ) and the phytate content and phytate:zinc molar ratios of maize tortillas prepared from hybrids with different phytate contents. Design: Six healthy adults were fed, as the only food for 2 d, maize tortillas prepared from 1 of 2 low-phytate mutants: lpa1-1 (lpa1-1- LP) or Nutridense Low Phytate (ND-LP), which have phytate reductions of ≈60% and ≈80%, respectively, compared with their respective wild-type isohybrids. Four additional subjects were fed tortillas prepared from the corresponding wild-type isohybrids (lpa1-1-WTandND-WT)according to the same study design. Meals were extrinsically labeled with zinc stable isotopes, and FAZ was determined with a dual-isotope-tracer ratio technique. Overall FAZ values were examined in relation to dietary phytate and phytate:zinc molar ratios by using a mixed nonlinear regression model. Results: The mean (±SD) FAZ values from tortillas prepared from ND-LP, lpa1-1-LP, lpa1-1-WT,andND-WTwere 0.38±0.07, 0.28±0.04, 0.15±0.07, and 0.13±0.05, respectively.Anegative relation (P<0.001) was found between FAZ and both dietary phytate and the phytate:zinc molar ratio.The effect of dietary zinc (8-14mgZn/d) under these experimental conditions was not significant. Conclusions: FAZ from maize tortillas is positively related to the extent of phytate reduction achieved with low-phytate hybrids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Chemotherapy leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species, which stresses the antioxidant defense system. Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia rarely are overtly malnourished, which makes this population ideal for an investigation of the relations between dietary antioxidant consumption, plasma antioxidant concentrations, and chemotherapy-induced toxicity. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of therapy on antioxidant intakes in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the relation between dietary antioxidant intakes and plasma antioxidant concentrations, and the relation between the incidence of side effects due to treatment and antioxidant intake. Design: We conducted a 6-mo observational study of 103 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Plasma micronutrient concentrations, dietary intakes, and incidence of side effects of chemotherapy were ascertained at diagnosis and after 3 and 6 mo of therapy. Results: Throughout the 6-mo study period, subjects ingested vitamin E, total carotenoid, α-carotene, and vitamin A in amounts that were 66%, 30%, 59%, and 29%, respectively, of the US recommended dietary allowance or of the amounts specified in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Greater vitamin C intakes at 6 mo were associated with fewer therapy delays, less toxicity, and fewer days spent in the hospital. Greater vitamin E intakes at 3 mo were associated with a lower incidence of infection. Greater-carotene intakes at 6 mo were associated with a decreased risk of toxicity. Conclusion: A large percentage of children undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia have inadequate intakes of antioxidants and vitamin A. Lower intakes of antioxidants are associated with increases in the adverse side effects of chemotherapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The effect of individual dietary fatty acids on emerging risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are associated with subclinical inflammation is unknown. Objective: The goal was to evaluate the role of dietary fat and specific fatty acids, especially trans fatty acids, in altering concentrations of markers of inflammation in humans fed controlled diets. Design: In a randomized crossover design, 50 men consumed controlled diets for 5 wk that provided 15% of energy from protein, 39% of energy from fat, and 46% of energy from carbohydrate. Eight percent of fat or fatty acids was replaced across diets with the following: cholesterol, oleic acid, trans fatty acids (TFAs), stearic acid (STE), TFA+STE (4% of energy each), and 12:0 -16:0 saturated fatty acids (LMP). Results: Fibrinogen concentrations were higher after consumption of the diet enriched in stearic acid than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet. C-reactive protein concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet, but were not significantly different after consumption of the TFA and TFA+STE diets than after consumption of the LMP diet. Interleukin 6 concentrations were lower after consumption of the oleic acid diet than after consumption of the LMP, TFA, and STE diets. E-selectin concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet. Consumption of the TFA but not the TFA+STE diet resulted in higher E-selectin concentrations than did the LMP diet. Conclusions: These data provide evidence that dietary fatty acids can modulate markers of inflammation. Although stearic acid minimally affects LDL cholesterol, it does appear to increase fibrinogen concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Lipases from Pseudomonas cepacia (P.c.) and Thermomyces lanuginosa (T.l.) were immobilized in a phyllosilicate sol-gel matrix and studied for their ability to catalyze the alcoholysis of fats and oils to simple alkyl esters. At 50 °C and 48 h reaction immobilized T.l. lipase gave higher alkyl ester yields (70 to 100%) from fats and oils regardless of chain length or degree of unsaturation of the acyl groups in the triacylglycerols than did immobilized P.c. lipase (20–90%), which preferred unsaturated oils. Both immobilized lipases catalyzed ester formation (80–90%) from greases containing a range of free fatty acids (2.6 to 36%). Molecular sieves had no effect on ester yields in the immobilized T.l. lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis of greases but did improve yields (5–10%) in the immobilized P.c. lipase-catalyzed reactions.

AB  - Under a contract from the US Department of Health and Human Services, a multidisciplinary expert panel was appointed to review "the scientific literature regarding macronutrients and energy and develop estimates of daily intake that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease the risk of chronic disease." Within the overall context of the charge, the panel sought to quantify rates and components of daily energy expenditure in healthy adults with body mass indexes (in kg/m2) of 18.5-25, in growing children (in the 5th- 85th percentiles of weight-for-length), and in pregnant and lactating women. The recommendation for adults became the daily energy intake necessary to cover total daily energy expenditure (TEE). For special cases, dietary macronutrients and energy to support child growth and pregnancy and lactation by women were considered. TEE was based on the results of doubly labeled water studies, and the TEE results were presented in units of physical activity level (PAL=TEE/BEE) and ΔPAL, where BEE is the basal rate of energy expenditure extrapolated to 24 h. Most adults (66%) maintaining a BMI in the healthful range had PAL values >1.6, or the equivalent of⩾60 min of physical activity of moderate intensity each day. Hence, on the basis of the doubly labeled water data and the results of epidemiologic studies, the physical activity recommendation for adults was judged to be 60 min/d. The recommendation for children was for a minimum of 60 min/d. In conclusion, dietary and physical activity recommendations for healthful living are inextricably intertwined. Adequate physical activity provides protection against chronic diseases and helps to balance energy expenditure and intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Glucose is a major oxidative substrate for intestinal energy generation in neonatal animals; however, few data in preterm infants are available. Early administration of enteral nutrition, including glucose, may be an effective strategy to support intestinal adaptation to extrauterine life in preterm neonates. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to quantify the first-pass uptake and oxidation of glucose by the splanchnic tissues (intestine and liver) in human neonates. Design: Eight preterm infants [birth weight (x ± SD): 1.19 ± 0.22 kg, gestational age: 29±1 wk] were studied while they received 2 different enteral intakes (A: 40% enteral, 60% parenteral, total glucose intake=7.5±0.5 mg . kg-1 . min-1, and B: 100% enteral, total glucose intake=7.8±0.4 mg . kg-1 . min-1). Splanchnic and whole-body glucose kinetics were measured by use of dual-tracer techniques. Results: During both feeding periods, approximately one-third of dietary glucose intake was utilized during the first pass by the splanchnic tissues. More than three-quarters of this utilized glucose was oxidized in both periods (79±36% with A and 84±45% with B). Whole-body glucose oxidation was substantial under both circumstances: 72 ± 5% and 77% ± 6% of the glucose flux was oxidized during partial (A) and full (B) enteral feeding, respectively. Conclusions: Approximately one-third of dietary glucose is utilized during the first pass by the splanchnic tissues, irrespective of the dietary intake. Most of the utilized glucose is used for energy generation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Longitudinal data regarding the influence of beverage intakes on calcium adequacy are lacking. Objective: This study evaluated calcium intake from ages 5 to 9 y as a function of mother-daughter beverage choices and as a predictor of bone mineral status. Design: Intakes of energy, calcium, milk, sweetened beverages, fruit juices, and non-energy-containing beverages were measured with the use of three 24-h dietary recalls in 192 non-Hispanic white girls aged 5, 7, and 9 y and their mothers. Calcium intakes from ages 5 to 9 y were categorized as either meeting or falling below recommended adequate intakes (AIs). The girls' bone mineral status was assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at age 9 y. Results: The mean 5-y calcium intake was related to bone mineral density at age 9 y (β = 0.27, P < 0.001). The girls who met the AI for calcium were not heavier (P = 0.83) but had higher energy intakes (P < 0.0001) than did the girls who consumed less than the AI. Compared with the girls who consumed less than the AI, the girls who met the AI consumed, on average, almost twice as much milk (P < 0.0001), had smaller decreases in milk intake (P < 0.01), and consumed 18% less sweetened beverages (P<0.01) from ages 5 to 9 y; the 2 groups did not differ significantly in juice and non-energycontaining beverage intakes. The girls who met the AI were also served milk more frequently than were the girls who consumed less than the AI (P < 0.0001) and had mothers who drank milk more frequently (P<0.01) than did the mothers of the girlswhoconsumed less than the AI. Conclusions: These findings provide new longitudinal evidence that calcium intake predicts bone mineral status during middle childhood and reflects mother-daughter beverage choice patterns that are established well before the rapid growth and bone mineralization observed in adolescence.

AB  - Background: The accurate measurement of body composition is useful in assessments of infant growth and nutritional status. Objective: This study evaluated the reliability and accuracy of a new air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) system for bodycomposition assessment in infants. Design: Between- and within-day reliability was assessed by comparing the percentage body fat (%BF) obtained on consecutive days and on the same day, respectively, in 36 full-term infants. Accuracy was assessed by comparing %BF measured with the use of ADP and %BF measured with the use of deuterium (2H2O) dilution in 53 infants. Results: There were no significant differences in%BFbetween days (-0.50 ± 1.21%BF) or within days (0.16 ± 1.44%BF). Mean between- and within-day test-retest SDs of 0.69 and 0.72%BF, respectively, indicated excellent reliability. The %BF measurements obtained by using ADP were not significantly influenced by infant behavioral state. Mean %BF obtained by using ADP (20.32%BF) did not differ significantly from that obtained by using 2H2Odilution (20.39%BF), and the regression line [%BF(2H2O) = 0.851%BF (ADP) + 3.094] gave a high R2 (0.76) and a low SEE (3.26). The 95% limits of agreement between ADP and 2H2O (-6.84%BF, 6.71%BF) were narrower than those reported for other bodycomposition techniques used in infants. Individual differences between the 2 methods were not a function of body mass or fatness. Conclusion: ADP is a reliable and accurate instrument for determining %BF in infants, and it has the potential for use in both research and clinical settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The vitamin A requirements of elderly humans have not been studied. Objective: In a cross-sectional study of 60-88-y-old men (n = 31) and women (n = 31) in rural Philippines, we assessed the dietary intakes of elders with adequate (⩾ 0.07 μmol/g) or low (< 0.07 μmol/g) liver vitamin A concentrations to estimate vitamin A requirements for this age group. Design: Total-body vitamin A was assessed by the deuteratedretinol- dilution technique; liver vitamin A concentrations were assessed by assuming that liver weight is 2.4% of body weight and that, in this marginally nourished population, 70% of total-body vitamin A is in the liver; serum retinol was measured by HPLC; and dietary intakes were assessed with 3 nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls. The mean vitamin A intake + 2 SDs of subjects with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations was used to estimate an acceptable or sufficient vitamin A intake value for elders. Results: The mean (± SD) vitaminAintakes of the men and women with adequate vitamin A in liver were 135 ± 86 and 134 ± 104 gμ retinol activity equivalents (RAE)/d, respectively; intakes of themen and women with low vitamin A in liver were 75 ± 53 and 60 ± 27 μg RAE/d, respectively. Total-body vitaminAor liver vitaminAbut not serum retinol correlated with dietary RAE, preformed vitamin A, β-carotene, fat, and protein. An estimated acceptable or sufficient dietary vitamin A intake associated with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations in elders is 6.45 μg RAE/kg body wt; for a reference 76-kg man and a 61-kg woman, these values are ≈500 and 400 μg RAE/d, respectively. Conclusion: The dietary vitamin A intakes of elders with adequate or low liver vitamin A concentrations as estimated by use of the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique are useful for assessing vitamin A requirements.

AB  - The combustion of fossil fuels generates large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas most likely to influence global warming and climate change. Large stationary sources that include coal-based electric generating stations are plausible targets for the removal of CO2. Chemical absorption of CO2 is viewed as one option that could be applicable for its separation from both fuel gas and flue gas streams. Processes based on solid regenerable sorbents that efficiently absorb CO2 and release it in concentrated form have the potential to be cost-effective relative to solvent-based practices. This communication summarises a preliminary investigation exploring the reaction of CO2 with a number of calcium-based sorbents using a thermogravimetric (TG) analyser. Upon reaction at high temperature with pure CO2, these materials are converted into metal carbonates. Thermal regeneration of the sorbents was accomplished upon heating spent materials to higher temperature in a nitrogen stream. TG studies show the absorption reaction for Ca-based materials was initially rapid and then entered into a slower kinetic regime. Multi-cycle testing conducted within the TG analyser indicated sorbents could be regenerated and reused. Theoretical conversions ranging from 50-75% were observed for the calcium/zirconia sorbents in comparison to 15-20% for the calcium/lanthanum-doped alumina sorbent. Improved conversion was attributed to the pore size differential between mesoporous zirconia and microporous lanthanum-alumina. TG studies performed at 500°C with lithium zirconate show that the rate of CO2 absorption was continuous with time on stream. Under nitrogen, rapid regeneration of the lithium carbonate product occurred at temperatures greater than 700°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This research was initiated to identify the parentage of putative Ornithogalum hybrids using DNA fingerprinting techniques. Seeds were harvested from Ornithogalum thyrsoides hybrid ’Chesapeake Starlight’ (’CS’) and five seedlings (SD1-SD5) were selected and evaluated for growth and flowering. These seedlings varied in scape length, flower shape and colour, and the presence or absence of pollen. Ornithogalum conicum, Bokbaai type of O. thyrsoides 7050A, 7050B and a seedling from a cross between O. conicum x O. thyrsoides 7050C which were considered as possible paternal parents of the seedlings were als0 analysed for DNA fingerprinting. A total of 169 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) bands were produced, of which 90 (53%) were polymorphic. Based on the p-distance value, O. conicum was, initially excluded as a potential source of pollen and Bokbaai type of Ornithogalum 7050A, and 7050B was considered to be the most likely pollen source. However, the possibility that all seedlings could result from self-pollinated progenies of ’CS’ was not excluded. Five randomly selected primer pairs for amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis generated a total of 298 fragments, of which 191 (63.4 %) were polyrmorphic bands. The presence of marker 109 in all four seedlings, SD1, SD 2, SD 4, and SD 5 and in O. conicum x 7050C suggests that marker 109 was inherited from 7050(2. According to the p-distance and nonmaternal band analysis performed with RAPD and AFLP, it was concluded that the seedlings were not the result of self-pollination, and O. thyrsoides 7050C could be the paternal parent. Ornithogalum species such as O. thyrsoides, instead of O. conicum, should be used in future breeding efforts to breed a paper white flower with cup-shaped florets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) is a one-dimensional, numerical model for simulating water movement and chemical transport under a variety of management and weather scenarios at the field scale. The pesticide module of RZWQM includes detailed algorithms that describe the complex interactions between pesticides and the environment. We have simulated a range of situations with RZWQM, including foliar interception and washoff of a multiply applied insecticide (chlorpyrifos) to growing corn, and herbicides (alachlor, atrazine, flumetsulam) with pH-dependent soil sorption, to examine whether the model appears to generate reasonable results. The model was also tested using chlorpyrifos and flumetsulam for the sensitivity of its predictions of chemical fate and water and pesticide runoff to various input parameters. The model appears to generate reasonable representations of the fate and partitioning of surface- and foliar-applied chemicals, and the sorption of weakly acidic or basic pesticides, processes that are becoming increasingly important for describing adequately the environmental behavior of newer pesticides. However, the kinetic sorption algorithms for charged pesticides appear to be faulty. Of the 29 parameters and variables analyzed, chlorpyrifos half-life, the Freundlich adsorption exponent, the fraction of kinetic sorption sites, air temperature, soil bulk density, soil-water content at 33 kPa suction head and rainfall were most sensitive for predictions of chlorpyrifos residues in soil. The latter three inputs and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil and surface crusts were most sensitive for predictions of surface water runoff and water-phase loss of chlorpyrifos. In addition, predictions of flumetsulam (a weak acid) runoff and dynamics in soil were sensitive to the Freundlich equilibrium adsorption constant, soil pH and its dissociation coefficient.

AB  - Many health disparities in the United States are linked to inequalities in education and income. This review focuses on the relation between obesity and diet quality, dietary energy density, and energy costs. Evidence is provided to support the following points. First, the highest rates of obesity occur among population groups with the highest poverty rates and the least education. Second, there is an inverse relation between energy density (MJ/kg) and energy cost ($/MJ), such that energy-dense foods composed of refined grains, added sugars, or fats may represent the lowest-cost option to the consumer. Third, the high energy density and palatability of sweets and fats are associated with higher energy intakes, at least in clinical and laboratory studies. Fourth, poverty and food insecurity are associated with lower food expenditures, low fruit and vegetable consumption, and lower-quality diets. A reduction in diet costs in linear programming models leads to high-fat, energy-dense diets that are similar in composition to those consumed by low-income groups. Such diets are more affordable than are prudent diets based on lean meats, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruit. The association between poverty and obesity may be mediated, in part, by the low cost of energy-dense foods and may be reinforced by the high palatability of sugar and fat. This economic framework provides an explanation for the observed links between socioeconomic variables and obesity when taste, dietary energy density, and diet costs are used as intervening variables. More and more Americans are becoming overweight and obese while consuming more added sugars and fats and spending a lower percentage of their disposable income on food. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The present study was carried out to determine the conversion factor of synthetic 2H-labelled ??-carotene to vitamin A in Chinese adults by using a stable-isotope dilution technique. Fifteen healthy volunteers aged 50???60 years were recruited for a 55 d experiment. The volunteers (nine males and six females) were each given a physiological dose of [2H8]??-carotene (6 mg) in oil on the first day of the experiment, and a reference dose of [2H8]retinyl acetate (3 mg) in oil was given on the fourth day. Serum samples were collected at 0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 h on the first and the fourth days of the study, daily for 10 d, and then weekly from days 14 to 56. ??-Carotene and retinol were extracted from serum and isolated by HPLC, and their enrichments were respectively determined by using GC???electron capture negative chemical ionisation-MS and LC???atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation interface-MS. Four of the subjects exhibited ??-carotene to vitamin A conversion factors of >29??0:1 on a molar basis and were termed ???poor converters???. In the eleven normal converters (seven males and four females), the calculated conversion factors of ??-carotene to retinol ranged from 2??0:1 to 12??2:1 with an average of 4??8 (sd 2??8):1 on a molar basis, and from 3??8:1 to 22??8:1 with an average of 9??1 (sd 5??3):1 on a weight basis. The 52 d post-intestinal absorption conversion was estimated to be about 30 % of the total converted retinol. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - The reaction of tetraethylorthrosilcate (TEOS) with y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) has produced stable solid amine sorbents for the capture of carbon dioxide. The resulting amine-enriched silicon sorbent (SBA-15) has been proven to be competitive with existing environmental CO2 controlled life sorbents based on the immobilised amine technology. XPS analysis has indicated that the amine groups (N1s Peak) were incorporated onto the surfaces of this amine-based sorbent in the range of 7%. The performance of the SBA-15 was comparable to the commercially available immobilised amine sorbent (IAS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The development of aberration-corrected electron microscopes (ACEMs) has made it possible to resolve individual atomic columns (‘dumbbells’) with correct interatomic spacings in elemental and compound semiconductors. Thus, the latest generations of ACEMs should become powerful instruments for determining detailed structural arrangements at defects and interfaces in these materials. This paper provides a short overview of off-line (‘software’) and on-line (‘hardware’) ACEM techniques, with particular reference to characterization of elemental and compound semiconductors. Exploratory probe-corrected studies of ZnTe/InP and ZnTe/GaAs epitaxial heterostructures and interfacial defects are also described. Finally, some of the associated problems and future prospects are briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Although calcium inhibits zinc bioavailability in rats, especially from high-phytate diets, the effect of calcium on zinc absorption by humans from practical diets remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to test the inhibitory effect of dietary calcium, in Western diets with high and low phytate content, on zinc absorption. DESIGN: Using a 2 x 2 factorial design, zinc absorption was determined in 10 healthy women from 1-d diets with moderate and high calcium contents of approximately 700 and 1800 mg/d and low and high phytate contents of approximately 440 and 1800 mg/d. Absorption was measured by using extrinsically added (65)Zn and subsequent whole-body scintillation counting. RESULTS: Mean (+/-SE) fractional zinc absorption was 32.8 +/- 2.3% from the moderate-calcium, low-phytate diet; 26.9 +/- 2.4% from the moderate-calcium, high-phytate diet; 39.4 +/- 2.4% from the high-calcium, low-phytate diet; and 26.2 +/- 2.3% from the high-calcium, high-phytate diet. The respective values for absolute zinc absorption were 3.8 +/- 0.3, 3.0 +/- 0.3, 4.5 +/- 0.3, and 3.2 +/- 0.3 mg/d. Phytate significantly reduced fractional zinc absorption by approximately 10 percentage points and reduced absolute zinc absorption by 25%, or approximately 1 mg/d. Differences in dietary calcium did not affect zinc absorption, regardless of a high or low dietary phytate content. CONCLUSIONS: In healthy women consuming 1-d menus of ordinary foods (some fortified with calcium), dietary phytate reduces zinc absorption, but calcium does not impair zinc absorption, regardless of whether dietary phytate is low or high.

AB  - Nutrient reference values have significant public health and policy implications. Given the importance of defining reliable nutrient reference values, there is a need for an explicit, objective, and transparent process to set these values. The Tufts Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center assembled a group of nutrition experts from academic institutions and federal government agencies, led participants in discussions, conducted exercises in formulating questions and evidence review criteria that would be amenable to systematic reviews of the scientific literature, performed a literature search on the questions to identify potentially relevant publications, and identified challenges and limitations of applying this method to support the development of nutrient reference values using vitamin A as an example. The workgroup concluded that the systematic review approach could be productively used to inform the development of reference values. Challenges identified in this exercise include prioritizing and defining research questions when the volume of literature is large, relying on intermediate (surrogate) outcomes when few or no studies directly linking nutrient intake with clinical outcomes are available, and determining reliable nutrient biomarkers. Ultimately, an objective, unbiased systematic review of a defined question could be useful, not only in helping to set nutrient reference values, but also for increasing the transparency of the decision making process.

AB  - Background: Beta-Carotene supplementation showed neither benefit nor harm among apparently healthy physicians (all men) in the Physicians' Health Study (PHS) trial. The objective of the current investigation was to evaluate how long-term beta-carotene supplementation affects molecular markers of lung carcinogenesis in the PHS.Methods: The protein levels of total p53, cyclin D1, proliferating cellular nuclear antigen (PCNA), retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta), and cytochrome p450 enzyme 1A1 (CYP1A1) were measured using the immunohistochemical method in 40 available archival lung tissue samples from patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer in the PHS. The protein levels of these markers were compared by category of beta-carotene treatment assignment and other characteristics using unconditional logistic regression models.Results: The positivity for total p53, RARbeta, cyclin D1, and PCNA was nonsignificantly lower among lung cancer patients who were assigned to receive beta-carotene than those who were assigned to receive beta-carotene placebo. There was a borderline significant difference in CYP1A1 positivity with an OR of 0.2 (95% confidence interval, 0.2-1.1; P = .06) in a comparison of men who received beta-carotene and men who received beta-carotene placebo.Conclusions: The 50-mg beta-carotene supplementation on alternate days had no significant influence on molecular markers of lung carcinogenesis that were evaluated in the PHS. This finding provides mechanistic support for the main PHS trial results of beta-carotene, which demonstrated no benefit or harm to the risk of developing lung cancer.

AB  - Serum phosphorus levels in the general population have been reported to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and increased carotid intima-media thickness. The authors examined gender heterogeneity in the association of phosphorus with all-cause mortality and incident coronary artery disease using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (1987-2001). Baseline phosphorus levels were higher in women and were associated differently among men and women with traditional atherosclerosis risk factors such as age, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. In a multivariable-adjusted model, men in the highest quintile of serum phosphorus level (>3.8 mg/dL) had an increased mortality rate (hazard ratio = 1.45, 95% confidence interval: 1.12, 1.88), while women did not (hazard ratio = 1.18, 95% confidence interval: 0.89, 1.57). The multivariable likelihood ratio test of effect modification by gender was significant at alpha = 0.1 (P = 0.085) for all-cause mortality. Although the associations of phosphorus with coronary artery disease also appeared to differ substantially by gender, the multivariable test for effect modification suggested that the difference was consistent with random variation (P = 0.195). These results suggest the need for further investigation into gender differences in the contribution of mineral metabolism to cardiovascular disease in the general population.

AB  - BACKGROUND: In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that carotenoids may inhibit bone resorption and stimulate proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Few studies have examined the association between carotenoid intake (other than beta-carotene) and bone mineral density (BMD). OBJECTIVE: We evaluated associations between total and individual carotenoid intake (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein+zeaxanthin) with BMD at the hip, spine, and radial shaft and the 4-y change in BMD. DESIGN: Both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted in 334 men and 540 women (mean +/- SD age: 75 +/- 5 y) in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study. Energy-adjusted carotenoid intakes were estimated from the Willett food-frequency questionnaire. Mean BMD and mean 4-y BMD changes were estimated, for men and women separately, by quartile of carotenoid intake with adjustment for age, BMI, height, physical activity index, smoking (never compared with ever smokers), multivitamin use, season of BMD measurement (for cross-sectional analyses on BMD only), estrogen use (in women), and intakes of total energy, calcium, vitamin D, caffeine, and alcohol. RESULTS: Few cross-sectional associations were observed with carotenoid intake. Associations between lycopene intake and 4-y change in lumbar spine BMD were significant for women (P for trend = 0.03), as were intakes of total carotenoids, beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein+zeaxanthin with 4-y change in trochanter BMD in men (P for trend = 0.0005, 0.02, 0.009, and 0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Carotenoids showed protective associations against 4-y loss in trochanter BMD in men and in lumbar spine in women. No significant associations were observed at other bone sites. Although not consistent across all BMD sites examined, these results support a protective role of carotenoids for BMD in older men and women. Copyright © 2009 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Making forest policies that help bridge from the current situation to a sustainable future requires sound scientific information. Too often, scientific information is available, yet policy makers do not use it. At a workshop in Costa Rica, attendees from the Americas reviewed 16 case studies where forest science influenced forest policies and identified six reasons. Two reasons related to the content of research programs and four to personal characteristics of researchers. Research programs that practice continuous innovation and adaptive management retained their relevancy to policy makers. Market-based and incentive approaches work better than regulatory ones, so economic and social sciences are critical parts of the research portfolio. Key attributes of influential scientists include an understanding of the policy process and how it differs from the science process; a willingness to engage in the policy arena and bear the associated risks; an adeptness at communicating early and often, matching the means and message to various audiences; and a penchant for collaboration that builds the trust essential to influence policy.

AB  - Background: Conflicting evidence exists on the causal factors underlying the development of excess adiposity in children. Objective: We determined the effect of energy expenditure (EE), muscle energetics, and physical fitness on weight and fat gain in prepubertal girls with or without a predisposition to obesity. Design: Normal-weight girls (n = 101) were recruited at 8 y of age according to parental body mass index. Eighty-eight girls completed the 2-y study, and the groups were as follows: LN, girls with 2 lean parents; LNOB, girls with 1 obese and 1 lean parent; and OB, girls with 2 obese parents. Measurements of weight, height, and body composition were taken 1 and 2 y after baseline. Girls underwent baseline measurements of EE by 24-h calorimetry and doubly labeled water, of muscle metabolism by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance, and of fitness. Results: Fat mass (FM) and percentage body fat (%BF) differed significantly between the groups at years 1 and 2; the OB group had higher FM (P = 0.03) and %BF (P = 0.046) at year 1 and higher FM (P = 0.047) at year 2 than did the LN group. After adjustment for baseline weight, group, time, ethnicity, and Tanner stage, sleep EE, basal EE, 24-h EE, and peak oxygen uptake were negatively associated with FM and %BF (P < 0.04). After adjustment for the same variables, muscle oxidative capacity and free-living total EE were negatively and positively predictive, respectively, of changes in %BF between 8 and 10 y of age (both P = 0.04). Conclusions: Nonobese girls with 2 obese parents have a significant risk of developing obesity. High free-living total EE and low muscle oxidative capacity predict high rates of fat gain.

AB  - Background: Adaptation of iron absorption in response to dietary iron bioavailability is less likely in premenopausal women, who generally have lower iron stores, than in men. Objective: The objective of the study was to ascertain whether iron absorption in women adapts to dietary iron bioavailability and whether adaptation reflects altered absorptive efficiency or adjustment to specific inhibitors or enhancers of absorption. Design: Heme- and nonheme-iron absorption from either high- or low-bioavailability diets was measured at 0 and 10 wk in premenopausal women as they consumed one of the diets for 12 wk (randomized 2 x 2 factorial design). The high- and low-bioavailability diets contained similar amounts of total iron, as 13.1 and 14.8 mg/d nonheme and 2.0 and 0.3 mg/d heme iron, respectively, and they differed in contents of meat, ascorbate, whole grains, legumes, and tea. Results: In premenopausal women, the efficiency of nonhemeiron absorption (P = 0.06, two-tailed test), but not of heme-iron absorption, tended to adapt in response to a 12-wk difference in dietary iron bioavailability, whether absorption was tested with high- or low-bioavailability menus. Bioavailability, but not adaptation, substantially influenced total iron absorption (≈ 6-fold). In contrast with iron absorption from the low-bioavailability diet, that from the high-bioavailability diet consistently was inversely associated with serum ferritin. Conclusion: Only the high-bioavailability diet enabled women to absorb more iron in relation to their low iron stores. Women consuming the high-bioavailability diet absorbed up to 4.5 mg (30-35%) dietary iron with minimal influence of the diet consumed during the previous 10 wk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The toxicity of the natural insecticide spinosad was assessed against Daphnia pulex (Leydig) using a demographic approach. Data were also generated for the commonly used organophosphorus insecticide diazinon as a comparison. Exposure to spinosad led to a concentration-dependent decline in survival, birth rate (<f>b</f>), net reproductive rate (<f>R0</f>), and intrinsic rate of increase (<f>rm</f>). Population extinction (−<f>rm</f>) occurred after exposure to spinosad concentrations >10 μg/L for 8 days. Exposure to increasing diazinon concentrations led to an initial increase in <f>R0</f> and <f>rm</f> followed by a sharp decline, with extinction occurring after exposure to >2 μg/L after 2 days. Based on concentrations of pesticide that caused population extinction, spinosad was five times less toxic than diazinon. The stable age distribution (after 65 days) of D. pulex changed after exposure to spinosad and diazinon. Increasing concentrations of spinosad resulted in a decrease in the percentages of individuals in the first juvenile and adult stages, increase in the third and fourth juvenile stages, and little or no change in the second juvenile and adolescent stages. Diazinon had a different effect on stable age distribution. Increasing concentrations of diazinon resulted in an increase in percentages of individuals in the first and second juvenile stages, little or no change in the third and fourth juvenile stages and adolescent stage, and a decrease in the adult stage. Although spinosad and diazinon are both neurotoxins, they have different modes of action and populations of D. pulex reacted differently to each pesticide. Results of this study indicate that spinosad is significantly less toxic than diazinon to D. pulex and because it is applied at lower concentrations than diazinon it should be less hazardous to this species.

AB  - Increasing production of corn masa for tortillas, chips, and related snack foods is resulting in large quantities of organic residuals requiring environmentally sound management. These byproduct streams appear suitable for use as livestock feed material, thus eliminating landfilling costs. Possibilities for developing livestock feed include direct shipping to livestock feeding facilities, blending prior to shipping, extrusion processing, pellet mill processing, and dehydration. To assess the viability of these options for reprocessing masa byproducts as livestock feed materials, an economic model was developed and applied to each of these alternatives. Through a series of simulation runs with this model, it was determined that direct shipping was by far the most inexpensive means of recycling masa processing residuals (10–57 $/Mg). Other alternatives examined in increasing order of costs included blending prior to shipping, extrusion, pellet mill processing (3–15, 5–18, and 4–18 times greater than direct shipping, respectively), while dehydration was clearly cost-prohibitive (33–81 times greater). Bagged feed was slightly more expensive to produce than bulk feed (1.1 times greater), and reprocessing costs increased as delivery distance increased, due to increased labor, equipment, and fuel costs, but decreased as byproduct generation rate increased, due to the development of the economies of scale. Alternately, based on a tipping fee of 50 $/Mg, the total estimated cost to landfill ranged from 65 to 112 $/Mg. Based on this cost analysis, direct shipping and feeding to livestock is the recycling option of choice for masa processing byproducts. Although specific details of process configurations and associated costs will vary, similar results are likely for other high moisture food processing residuals destined for utilization as livestock feed or components thereof.

AB  - Background: Protein is an important body component, and the presently accepted criterion method for estimating total body protein (TBPro) mass--in vivo neutron activation (IVNA) analysis-- is unavailable to most investigators and is associated with moderate radiation exposure. Objective: The objective was to derive a theoretical cellular level TBPro mass and distribution model formulated on measured total body potassium, total body water, and bone mineral and to evaluate the new model with the IVNA method as the criterion. Design: The new model was developed on the basis of a combination of theoretical equations and empirically derived coefficients. TBPro mass estimates with the new model were evaluated in healthy women (n = 183) and men (n = 24) and in men with AIDS (n = 84). Total body nitrogen was measured by IVNA, total body potassium by whole-body 40K counting, total body water by tritium dilution, and bone mineral by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The group mean (± SD) TBPro mass estimates in healthy women and men and men with AIDS (8.2 ± 0.9, 11.0 ± 1.8, and 10.5 ± 1.1 kg, respectively) with the new model were similar to IVNA criterion estimates (8.9 ± 0.9, 11.1 ± 1.6, and 10.9 ± 1.2 kg, respectively). TBPro mass estimates with the new model correlated highly with the IVNA estimates in all subjects combined (r = 0.92, P < 0.001). The new model suggests that the composite TBPro mass within each group consists mainly of cellular protein (75-79%) and, to a lesser extent, protein in extracellular solids (19-23%) and extracellular fluid (≈2%). Conclusion: The new model provides a non-IVNA approach for estimating protein mass and distribution in vivo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The Diet Quality Index Revised (DQI-R) is a dietary assessment instrument based on 10 dietary recommendations reflecting dietary guidelines and policy in the United States. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the reproducibility and validity of the DQI-R as measured by use of foodfrequency questionnaires (FFQs). Design: Diet was assessed separately by two FFQs at a 1-y interval and by two 1-wk diet records. DQI-R scores were computed from each method. Venous blood specimens were collected for measurement of dietary biomarkers. Participants (n = 127) were men aged 40-75 y in a validation study of the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Results: Mean DQI-R scores were 69.5 for FFQ-1, 67.2 for FFQ-2, and 62.0 for the diet records out of a possible score of 100. The reproducibility correlation for the 2 FFQ scores was 0.72. Correlations between scores for each of the 2 FFQs and diet records were 0.66 (FFQ-1) and 0.72 (FFQ-2). DQI-R scores from FFQ-2 were directly correlated with plasma biochemical measurements of carotene (r= 0.43, P < 0.0005), β-carotene (r = 0.35, P < 0.005), lutein (r - 0.31, P0.005), and α-tocopherol (r = 0.25, P < 0.05) and were inversely correlated with plasma total cholesterol (r = -0.22, P < 0.05). Conclusions: These data indicate reasonable reproducibility and validity of the DQI-R as assessed by an FFQ. Future studies are needed to examine whether this index and other instruments of diet quality can reliably predict disease outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Simple alkyl ester derivatives of restaurant grease were prepared using a lipase from Pseudomonoas cepacia immobilized within a phyllosilicate sol-gel matrix as biocatalyst. Alcoholysis reactions of grease were carried out in solvent-free media using a one-step addition of alcohol to the reaction mixture. The immobilized lipase was active from 40 to 70 °C. Ester yields (60–97%) were highest when using a ratio of reactants of 2 mmol grease to 8 mmol alcohol and the biocatalyst was 10% (w/w) of grease in the presence of molecular sieves.

AB  - Background: Preterm infants often receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) before enteral feeding. Although TPN has been linked to mucosal atrophy, its effects on intestinal digestion, absorption, and metabolism are unknown. Objective: Our aim was to determine the effects of TPN on rates of intestinal nutrient absorption and metabolism in infant pigs after initiation of enteral feeding. Design: Piglets were surgically implanted with catheters in the carotid artery, jugular vein, portal vein, and duodenum; an ultrasonic blood flow probe was inserted in the portal vein. Piglets were given TPN (TPN group) or enterally fed formula (enteral group) for 6 d. On day 7, both groups were enterally fed a milkbased formula, and the net portal absorption and metabolism of enteral [2H]glucose and [13C]leucine were measured. Results: After enteral feeding began, portal blood flow increased by 27% and 41% above the basal rate in the enteral and TPN groups, respectively; oxygen consumption remained lower in the TPN group. During enteral feeding, the net portal absorption of glucose was lower in the TPN group and that of galactose was not significantly different between the groups; lactate release was higher in the TPN group. Portal absorption accounted for only ≈37% of galactose intake in both groups. The TPN group had lower net portal absorption of arginine, lysine, threonine, and glycine. The portal absorption of dietary leucine was not significantly different between the groups; the arterial utilization and oxidation of leucine were significantly lower in the TPN group. Conclusion: Short-term TPN results in decreased lactose digestion and hexose absorption and increased intestinal utilization of key essential amino acids when enteral feeding is initiated in piglets.

AB  - Background: Consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with improved health and a decreased prevalence of chronic degenerative processes. Objectives: The objectives were to assess the bioavailability of vitamin C from orange juice and its influence on plasma vitamin C and 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α (8-epi-PGF2α) concentrations in a healthy human population. Design: Six men and 6 women consumed 500 mL commercial fresh-squeezed orange juice/d for 14 d, corresponding to an intake of 250 mg ascorbic acid/d. On the first day of the study, the subjects drank the juice in one dose (dose-response study), and on days 2-14 they consumed 250 mL in the morning and 250 mL in the afternoon. Blood was collected every hour for 6 h on the first day and again on days 7 and 14. Results: Baseline plasma vitamin C concentrations were significantly higher (P = 0.03) among the women than among the men (56.4 ± 4.4 compared with 44.3 ± 3.5 μmol/L). In the doseresponse study, the maximum increase in plasma vitamin C occurred 3 h postdose in both the men and the women. Vitamin C concentrations remained significantly higher on days 7 and 14 than at baseline. Baseline concentrations of 8-epi-PGF2α were significantly higher (P = 0.03) among the men than among the women (249.6 ± 25.4 compared with 177.7 ± 6.2 pg/mL) but decreased significantly (P = 0.04) by day 14 of the intervention. A significant inverse correlation was observed between vitamin C and 8-epi-PGF2α (r = -0.791, P = 0.0022). Among smokers, baseline vitamin C was lower and 8-epi-PGF2α higher than among nonsmokers. Conclusions: Drinking orange juice (500 mL/d) increases plasma concentrations of vitamin C and reduces concentrations of 8-epi-PGF2α in humans. These effects were significantly more pronounced in smokers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: One potentially sustainable approach to improving iron status at the community level is to encourage the consumption of local ascorbic acid-rich foods, in conjunction with meals high in nonheme iron. Objective: The study, conducted in rural Mexico, measured stable isotopes of iron to evaluate the effect on iron absorption of the addition of 25 mg ascorbic acid as agua de limón (limeade) to 2 typical meals per day for 2 wk. Design: Fifteen nonpregnant, nonlactating, iron-deficient (ferritin <12 μg/L) women (x ± SD age: 28.3 ± 7.7 y) fasted overnight and were brought to a community clinic. After an initial blood sample, subjects consumed 0.25 mg 57Fe with both breakfast and lunch for 14 d. On day 29, another blood sample was taken, and a reference dose of 2.7 mg 58Fe with 25 mg ascorbic acid was given. For the following 15 d, participants consumed 0.25 mg 57Fe added to both breakfast and lunch with 25 mg ascorbic acid added to each meal as limeade. A final blood sample was taken on day 59. Results: Iron absorption was calculated from recovery of isotopes in blood obtained 14 d after administration of each isotope. When 25 mg ascorbic acid as limeade was added to test meals twice a day for 2 wk, iron absorption increased significantly (P < 0.001) in every subject: the mean absorption rose from 6.6 ± 3.0% to 22.9 ± 12.6%. Conclusions: The consumption of 25 mg ascorbic acid as limeade twice daily with meals substantially improved iron absorption and may improve the iron status of nonpregnant, nonlactating, irondeficient women.

AB  - Background: The association between weight status and the risk of lens opacities has received little attention. Objective: We examined the cross-sectional relations of body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2), waist circumference, and diabetes with the presence of age-related lens opacities. Design: Eye examinations were conducted in 466 Boston-area women aged 53-73 y who were without previously diagnosed cataracts and were part of the Nurses' Health Study cohort. Weight, height, waist, and hip measurements were obtained by self-report. Lens status was evaluated by using the Lens Opacification Classification System III (LOCS III). BMI and waist circumference were used as measures of overweight and abdominal adiposity, respectively. Nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular (PSC) opacities were defined as LOCS III scores ⩾ 2.5, ⩾ 1.0, and ⩾ 0.5, respectively. Diabetes was defined as a history of type 2 diabetes or as a fasting plasma glucose concentration ⩾ 7.0 mmol/L. Results: Women with diabetes were significantly more likely to have PSC opacities [odds ratio (OR): 4.1; 95% CI: 1.8, 9.4] than were women with fasting plasma glucose concentrations < 6.1 mmol/L. Women with a BMI ⩾ 30 had a higher prevalence of PSC opacities than did women with a BMI < 25 (OR: 2.5; 1.2, 5.2), and women with a waist circumference ⩾ 89 cm had a higher prevalence of PSC opacities than did those with a waist circumference < 80 cm (OR: 2.3; 1.0, 5.2). Diabetes and measures of adiposity were unrelated to the prevalence of cortical and nuclear opacities. Conclusions: Diabetes is a strong risk factor for PSC opacities, and overweight and abdominal adiposity may be risk factors for PSC opacities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dietary trans fatty acids (FAs), which are formed during the process of hydrogenating vegetable oil, are known to increase plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations. However, their effect on LDL particle size has yet to be investigated. Objective:We investigated the effect of trans FA consumption on the electrophoretic characteristics of LDL particles. Design: Eighteen women and 18 men each consumed 5 experimental diets in random order for 35-d periods. Fat represented 30% of total energy intake in each diet, with two-thirds of the fat in the form of semiliquid margarine (0.6 g trans FAs/100 g fat), soft margarine (9.4 g trans FAs/100 g fat), shortening (13.6 g trans FAs/100 g fat), stick margarine (26.1 g trans FAs/100 g fat), or butter, which was low in trans FAs (2.6 g trans FAs/100 g fat) but rich in saturated fat. LDL particle size and distribution were characterized by nondenaturing, 2-16% polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. Results: Relative to the LDL particle size observed after consumption of the butter-enriched diet, LDL particle size decreased significantly and in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing amounts of dietary trans FAs (P < 0.001). Cholesterol concentrations in large (> 260 Å) and medium-sized (255-260 Å) LDL particles also increased proportionately to the amount of trans FAs in the diet. Conclusion: Consumption of dietary trans FAs is associated with a deleterious increase in small, dense LDL, which further reinforces the importance of promoting diets low in trans FAs to favorably affect the lipoprotein profile.

AB  - Sophorolipid lactones produced by Candida bombicola were deacetylated and ring opened with sodium methoxide to their corresponding methyl esters. The methyl esters, after re-acetylation with vinyl acetate using an immobilized lipase, were transesterified with 1,2-3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-d-galactopyranose in tetrahydrofuran using the same lipase catalyst. The di-O-isopropylidene sophorolipid sugar esters were hydrolyzed to give the galactopyranose sophorolipid esters as the final products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Quantitative information on the conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A in humans is limited. Objective: We determined the short- and long-term conversion of labeled β-carotene to vitamin A by using a stable-isotope reference method. Design: [2H8]β-Carotene (11 011 nmol, or 6 mg) in oil was given with a liquid diet (25% of energy from fat) to 22 adult volunteers (10 men, 12 women). Three days after the [2H8]β-carotene dose, the volunteers each took a dose of [2H8]retinyl acetate (8915 nmol, or 3 mg) in oil with the same liquid diet. Blood samples were collected over 56 d. Results: The 53-d area under the serum [2H4]retinol response curve (from the [2H8]β-carotene dose) was 569 ± 385 nmol · d, and the 53-d area under the serum [2H8]retinol response curve (from the [2H8]retinyl acetate dose) was 1798 ± 1139 nmol · d. With the use of [2H8]retinyl acetate as the vitamin A reference, the [2H4]retinol formed from [2H8]β-carotene (11 011 nmol) was calculated to be equivalent to 3413.9 ± 2298.4 nmol retinol. The conversion factor of β-carotene to retinol varied from 2.4 to 20.2, and the average conversion factor was 9.1 to 1 by wt or 4.8 to 1 by mol. This conversion factor was positively correlated with body mass index (r = 0.57, P = 0.006). The postabsorption conversion of β-carotene was estimated as 7.8%, 13.6%, 16.4%, and 19.0% of the total converted retinol at 6, 14, 21, or 53 d after the [2H8]β-carotene dose, respectively. Conclusion: The quantitative determination of the conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A in humans can be accomplished by using a stable-isotope reference method. This approach provides in vivo metabolic information after a physiologic dose of β-carotene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Experimental findings causally link restrictive child-feeding practices to overeating in children. However, longitudinal data are needed to determine the extent to which restrictive feeding practices promote overeating. Objectives: Our objectives were to determine whether restrictive feeding practices foster girls' eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) and whether girls' weight status moderates the effects of restrictive feeding practices. Design: Longitudinal data were used to create a study design featuring 2 maternal restriction factors (low and high), 2 weightstatus factors (nonoverweight and overweight), and 3 time factors (ages 5, 7, and 9 y). Results: Mean EAH increased significantly (P < 0.0001) from 5 to 9 y of age. Higher levels of restriction at 5 y of age predicted higher EAH at 7 y of age (P < 0.001) and at 9 y of age (P < 0.01). Girls who were already overweight at 5 y of age and who received higher levels of restriction had the highest EAH scores at 9 y of age (P < 0.05) and the greatest increases in EAH from 5 to 9 y of age (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The developmental increase in EAH from 5 to 9 y of age may be especially problematic in obesigenic environments. These longitudinal data provide evidence that maternal restriction can promote overeating. Girls who are already overweight at 5 y of age may be genetically predisposed to be especially responsive to environmental cues. These findings are not expected to be generalized to boys or to other racial and ethnic groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Reduced bone mass is common in both children and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) and may be a consequence of inadequate calcium absorption. The effect of CF on intestinal calcium absorption and retention has not been described in children. Objective: Calcium absorption and urinary losses were characterized in clinically stable girls with CF consuming self-selected diets and following usual pancreatic enzyme regimens. Design: The percentage of calcium absorption was assessed in 23 girls (aged 7-18 y) with CF by using oral (44Ca) and intravenous (42Ca) stable isotopes. Girls were grouped according to Tanner stage of breast development. True calcium absorption (Va) was determined as the product of percentage calcium absorption and average 4-d daily calcium intake. Calcium balance was estimated by subtracting urinary calcium and estimated endogenous fecal losses from the measure of Va. Analysis of variance was used to compare outcomes among pubertal groups, and regression analysis was used to describe the relations of percentage and total calcium absorption to calcium intake and of urinary calcium to sodium excretion. Results: Percentage calcium absorption was inversely related to calcium intake. Percentage absorption and Va were similar to values observed in healthy girls in other studies. Total calcium absorption and estimated calcium balance were significantly greater among girls in early puberty (Tanner stages 2-3) than in prepubertal or late-pubertal girls (P < 0.05). Urinary calcium was positively related to urinary sodium excretion (P = 0.02). Conclusion: The efficiency of calcium absorption was not compromised in clinically stable girls with CF.

AB  - Background: Growth failure often precedes secondary infections in HIV-infected infants and children, suggesting that inadequate protein deposition may be an early manifestation of infection by the virus. However, the protein metabolic response elicited by the virus in young children is unknown. Objective: We compared children with HIV infection and age-matched children without HIV infection with regard to whole-body and splanchnic protein kinetics and synthesis of acute phase proteins (APPs). Design: Whole-body and splanchnic leucine kinetics and fractional and absolute synthesis rates of 2 positive and 4 negative APPs were measured in 6 asymptomatic, HIV-infected children (4 males and 2 females) aged 6-17 mo and 4 uninfected children (3 females and 1 male) aged 7-9 mo who were in the fed state. Results: Compared with the control children, the HIV-infected children had significantly lower dietary energy and protein intakes and leucine balance and significantly faster leucine flux and fractional splanchnic leucine extraction; there was no significant difference between the groups in leucine oxidation rates. The HIV-infected children also had significantly higher plasma concentrations and absolute synthesis rates of the positive APPs and a significantly higher fractional synthesis rate of fibrinogen. The concentrations of 2 of the 4 negative APPs, albumin and HDL apolipoprotein A-I, were significantly lower in the HIV-infected children but were not associated with slower synthesis rates. Conclusions: Children with HIV infection but without secondary infection have reduced protein balance because of an inability to down-regulate protein catabolism. Furthermore, the acute phase protein response elicited by HIV infection is characterized by higher concentrations and synthesis rates of positive APPs without lower concentrations of some negative APPs.

AB  - Background: Little is known about the determinants of individual variability in body weight and fat loss after gastric bypass surgery or about the effects of massive weight loss induced by this surgery on energy requirements. Objectives: The objectives were to determine changes in energy expenditure and body composition with weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery and to identify presurgery predictors of weight loss. Design: Thirty extremely obese women and men with a mean (±SD) age of 39.0 ± 9.6 y and a body mass index (BMI; in kg/m²) of 50.1 ± 9.3 were tested longitudinally under weight-stable conditions before surgery and after weight loss and stabilization (14±2 mo). Tdtal energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), body composition, and fasting leptin were measured. Results: Subjects lost 53.2 ± 22.2 kg body weight and had significant decreases in REE (-2.4 ± 1.0 MJ/d; P < 0.001) and TEE (-3.6 ± 2.5 MJ/d; P < 0.001). Changes in REE were predicted by changes in fat-free mass and fat mass. The average physical activity level (TEE/REE) was 1.61 at both baseline and follow-up (P = 0.98). Weight loss was predicted by baseline fat mass and BMI but not by any energy expenditure variable or leptin. Measured REE at follow-up was not significantly different from predicted REE. Conclusions: TEE and REE decreased by 25% on average after massive weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery. REE changes were predicted by loss of body tissue; thus, there was no significant long-term change in energy efficiency that would independently promote weight regain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the numerous values of riparian areas and the recognition of fire as a critical natural disturbance, few studies have investigated the behavior, properties, and influence of natural fire in riparian areas of the western USA. Riparian areas frequently differ from adjacent uplands in vegetative composition and structure, geomorphology, hydrology, microclimate, and fuel characteristics. These features may contribute to different fire environments, fire regimes, and fire properties (frequency, severity, behavior, and extent) in riparian areas relative to uplands. In certain forested riparian areas, fire frequency has generally been lower, and fire severity has been more moderate than in adjacent uplands, but in other areas, fires have appeared to burn riparian areas with comparable frequency. Impacts of land use and management may strongly influence fire properties and regimes in riparian areas. Fire suppression, livestock grazing, logging, damming and flow regulation, agricultural diversions, channel modifications, and introduction of invasive species have led to shifts in plant species composition, structure and distribution of fuel loads, and changes in microclimate and areal extent of riparian areas. Cumulative impacts of human alterations are likely to exert the most pronounced influence on fire behavior during periods of drought and under conditions of extreme fire weather. Riparian plant species possess adaptations to fluvial disturbances that facilitate survival and reestablishment following fires, thus contributing to the rapid recovery of many streamside habitats. Given the critical resource values of riparian zones, additional data are needed to understand interactions between fire and riparian ecosystems, and how riparian zones affect spatial and temporal patterns of fires at the landscape scale. An improved understanding of fire ecology and effects in riparian areas is needed to prescribe ecologically sound rehabilitation projects following fire. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Donor countries are providing financial and technical support for global climate change country studies to help African nations meet their reporting needs under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Technical assistance to complete vulnerability and adaptation assessments includes training of analysts, sharing of contemporary tools (e.g. simulation models), data and assessment techniques, information-sharing workshops and an international exchange programme for analysts. This chapter summarizes 14 African country studies (Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe) assessing vulnerabilities to global climate change and identifying adaptation options. The analysis revealed that the participating African countries are vulnerable to global climate change in more than one of the following socio-economic sectors: coastal resources, agriculture, grasslands and livestock, water resources, forests, wildlife, and human health. This vulnerability is exacerbated by widespread poverty, recurrent droughts, inequitable land distribution, environmental degradation, natural resource mismanagement and dependence on rain-fed agriculture. A range of practical adaptation options were identified in key socio-economic sectors of the African nations analysed. However, underdeveloped human and institutional capacity, as well as the absence of adequate infrastructure, renders many traditional coping strategies (rooted in political and economic stability) ineffective or insufficient. Future African country studies should be more closely coordinated with development of national climate change action plans [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Quality characteristics and physiology of fresh-cut honeydew cubes harvested in summer and winter were evaluated. Sanitized melon cubes were packaged and held at three different atmospheres; passively formed atmosphere (passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)), active flushing of package with 5 kPa O2+5 kPa CO2 at packaging (active MAP), and perforated film package (PFP) and at three different temperature treatments; continuously at 5 or 10 °C or 2 days at 5 °C and transferred to 10 °C for a total of 11 days. Cubes of summer fruit had higher soluble solids content (SSC), respiration rate, and translucency than that of winter fruit. Translucency and off-odor were the main factors in deterioration of cubes. Cubes in active MAP had better color retention, reduced respiration rate and microbial population, and longer shelf-life than those in passive MAP, which was of better quality and had a longer shelf-life than cubes in PFP. The active MAP and 5 °C continuous was the best combination and the PFP and 10 °C continuous was the worst combination among the treatments for retaining quality and shelf-life of honeydew cubes. Quality attributes differed between cubes of fruit available in winter and summer, but the shelf-life was similar for both winter and summer cubes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Test results on the bioavailability of isoflavones in the aglycone or glucoside form in Eastern and Western human subjects are contradictory. Objective: The objective was to investigate the bioavailability of the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein in American women with typical American dietary habits after ingestion of the aglycone or glucoside form of isoflavones. Design: Fifteen American women aged 46 ± 6 y participated in a randomized, double-blind study. Blood samples were collected 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after consumption of aglycone or glucoside tablets with breakfast. The plasma curves for daidzein, genistein, and equol were constructed and the postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax), time to the maximum concentration (tmax), and area under the curve (AUC) were determined. Results: Isoflavone concentrations peaked early (1-2 h) in plasma and peaked again at 4-8 h. Mean Cmax, tmax, and AUC values for genistein were not significantly different after ingestion of aglycone or glucoside. However, Cmax and AUC values, but not tmax, were significantly higher for daidzein after aglycone ingestion, which was partly due to its higher content in the aglycone tablets. Equol appeared after 4 h and remained elevated after 48 h. Despite a higher content of daidzein in the aglycone tablets, the AUC for equol was significantly higher after ingestion of the glucoside tablets, probably because of the metabolic action of intestinal bacteria during the long intestinal transit time of glucoside. Conclusion: The apparent bioavailability of genistein and daidzein is not different when consumed as either aglycone or glucoside by American women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The relative influence of diet and physical activity on body fatness remains uncertain. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate associations of dietary variables and physical activity with body fatness in urban Chinese adults. Design:We conducted a cross-sectional study in 130 weight-stable men and women aged 35-49 y. Subjects were selected from upper and lower tertiles of dietary fat and physical activity on the basis of screening questionnaires. Dietary intake was assessed by weighed food intake, physical activity level (PAL) was calculated as the ratio of predicted total energy expenditure (TEE) to predicted resting energy expenditure, and body composition was measured with the use of 2H2O. Reported energy intake and predicted TEE were validated against TEE determined with the use of 2H218O (n = 73). Results: Body fatness was positively associated with dietary variety (ie, variety of ingredients) (partial r = 0.186, P = 0.039) and frequency of consuming restaurant foods (partial r = 0.237, P = 0.001) and negatively associated with PAL (partial r = -0.307, P = 0.001) in a multiple regression analysis that controlled for sex and confounders. The combined variance accounted for by dietary variety and restaurant food consumption (9.1%) was equivalent to that for PAL (9.4%). Neither dietary fat nor energy density predicted body fatness, but dietary energy density predicted withinsubject day-to-day variation in reported energy intake (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Dietary variety, frequency of restaurant food consumption, and PAL significantly predicted body fatness in urban Chinese adults, but dietary fat did not. These findings support previous studies in US adults and suggest that dietary variables other than fat have an important influence on adult body composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Glasshouse experiments were conducted to assess differences in clomazone tolerance between US pumpkin cultivars that were first observed when the herbicide was used for weed control in a pumpkin variety evaluation experiment. Two Cucurbita maxima cultivars, Big Max and Mammoth Gold, were highly tolerant and did not exhibit shoot weight reduction at a potting-medium clomazone concentration of 64 mg kg−1 (w/w), four times the clomazone concentration that severely injured and reduced the shoot weight of the less tolerant C. pepo variety, Magic Lantern. A subsequent experiment to assess the response of 67 pumpkin cultivars demonstrated that while most C. maxima cultivars tested were not sensitive to clomazone, the response of C. pepo cultivars varied greatly.

AB  - Background: The double-labeling (DL) method for determining magnesium absorption is less cumbersome than is the fecal monitoring method, which has been used most often, but it has not been validated. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare methods and several sampling protocols for determining magnesium absorption to establish a simple and reliable alternative to the fecal monitoring approach. Fecal monitoring was used as the standard against which the DL methods based on urine data (DLU), plasma data (DLP), and plasma kinetics with the use of a deconvolution analysis (DP) were compared. Design: Six healthy adult men received 70 mg 26Mg orally and 30 mg 25Mg intravenously. Multiple blood samples and complete urine and fecal samples were collected over 12 d. Stable-isotope ratios were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results: Results from DLU were not significantly different from the fecal monitoring reference value (0.48 ± 0.05; x ± SD) when based on 3-d urine pools from 72 to 144 h (0.54 ± 0.04) and when based on the 24-h urine pools from 48 to 72 h (0.49 ± 0.06), 72 to 96 h (0.51 ± 0.11), and 96 to 120 h (0.50 ± 0.06). Results with the DLP method 72 h after isotope administration also compared well with those with the fecal monitoring method (0.54 ± 0.09). Magnesium absorption was 0.47 ± 0.06 with the DP method, which also agreed with the fecal monitoring value. Conclusions: The DL methods are an alternative to fecal monitoring when applied within the appropriate time intervals. Therefore, DLU-the simplest and least invasive approach-is recommended for determining magnesium absorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: National surveys of food intake rely on the 24-h dietary recall method for assessing the nutrient intakes of Americans. Objectives: This observational validation study was conducted under controlled conditions to test the effectiveness of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) 5-step multiple-pass method for dietary recall; to test the ability of normal weight, overweight, and obese women to recall food intake; and to test the accuracy of macronutrient recall. Design: Women (n = 49) aged 21-65 y with a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 20-45 selected all meals and snacks for 1 d from a wide variety of foods. A 24-h dietary recall with the use of the USDA 5-step multiple-pass method was administered by telephone the following day. Analysis of variance and covariance tested the overall accuracy of recall and the effect of BMI on dietary recall. Results: As a population, the women overestimated their energy and carbohydrate intakes by 8-10%. No significant differences between mean actual and recalled intakes of energy and the macronutrients were observed in the obese women. Normalweight and overweight women significantly (P < 0.01) overestimated their energy, protein, and carbohydrate intakes. Recalled fat intake was not significantly different from actual intake in women across the BMI range studied. Conclusions: The USDA 5-step multiple-pass method effectively assessed mean energy intake within 10% of mean actual intake on the previous day. Obese women more accurately recalled food intake than did overweight and normal-weight women despite undereating on the day of the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Whether large portion sizes affect children's eating behavior has rarely been studied. Objectives: Our objectives were 1) to determine the effects of repeated exposure to a large portion of an entrée on preschoolaged children's awareness of portion size, self-selected portion size, and food intake and 2) to evaluate associations of children's responsiveness to portion size with weight status and overeating. Design: Energy intake, bite size, and comments about portion size were evaluated among 30 children at 2 series of lunches in which either an age-appropriate portion or a large portion of an entrée was served. On separate occasions, the children's self-served portions, weight, height, and tendency to overeat were assessed. Results: Doubling an age-appropriate portion of an entrée increased entrée and total energy intakes at lunch by 25% and 15%, respectively. Changes were attributable to increases in the average size of the children's bites of the entrée without compensatory decreases in the intake of other foods served at the meal. These increases were seen even though observational data indicated that the children were largely unaware of changes in portion size. Greater responsiveness to portion size was associated with higher levels of overeating. The children consumed 25% less of the entrée when allowed to serve themselves than when served a large entrée portion. Conclusions: Large entrée portions may constitute an "obesigenic" environmental influence for preschool-aged children by producing excessive intake at meals. Children with satiety deficits may be most susceptible to large portions. Allowing children to select their own portion size may circumvent the effects of exposure to large portions on children's eating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The effect of maternal iron status on fetal iron deposition is uncertain. Objective: We used a unique stable-isotope technique to assess iron transfer to the fetus in relation to maternal iron status. Design: The study group comprised 41 Peruvian women. Of these women, 26 received daily prenatal supplements containing iron and folate (n = 11; Fe group) or iron, folate, and zinc (n = 15; Fe+Zn group) from week 10-24 of pregnancy to 1 mo postpartum. The remaining 15 women (control group) received iron supplementation only during the final month of pregnancy. During the third trimester of pregnancy (x- ± SD: 32.9 ± 1.4 wk gestation) oral 57Fe (10 mg) and intravenous 58Fe (0.6 mg) stable iron isotopes were administered to the women, and isotope enrichment and iron-status indicators were measured in cord blood at delivery. Results: The net amount of 57Fe in the neonates' circulation (from maternal oral dosing) was significantly related to maternal iron absorption (P < 0.005) and inversely related to maternal iron status during the third trimester of pregnancy: serum ferritin (P < 0.0001), serum folate (P < 0.005), and serum transferrin receptors (P < 0.02). Significantly more 57Fe was transferred to the neonates in non-iron-supplemented women: 0.112 ± 0.031 compared with 0.078 ± 0.042 mg in the control group (n = 15) and the Fe and Fe+Zn groups (n = 24), respectively (P < 0.01). In contrast, 58Fe tracer in the neonates' circulation was not significantly related to maternal iron status. Conclusion: The transfer of dietary iron to the fetus is regulated in response to maternal iron status at the level of the gut. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The association between polymorphisms in the scavenger receptor class B type I (SRB-I) gene and variations in basal plasma concentrations of cholesterol in humans has recently been described. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether the exon 1 variant (G→A) at the SRB-I gene is associated with the lipid response to the content and quality of dietary fat in healthy subjects. Design: We studied 97 healthy volunteers with exon 1 polymorphism [65 homozygous for allele 1 (1/1) and 32 heterozygous for allele 2 (1/2)]. Both groups consumed 3 diets lasting 4 wk each. The first was a saturated fatty acid (SFA)-rich diet (38% fat, 20% SFA), which was followed by a carbohydrate (Cho)-rich diet (30% fat, < 10% SFA, 55% carbohydrate) or a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), olive oil-rich diet (38% fat, 22% MUFA) according to a randomized crossover design. At the end of each dietary period, plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol and of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol were measured. Results: Carriers of the 1/2 genotype had a trend toward higher concentrations of LDL cholesterol (P < 0.11) after the SFA-rich diet than did those who were homozygous for 1/1. Carriers of the mutation showed a significantly greater (P = 0.007) decrease in LDL-cholesterol concentrations (-23%) in changing from an SFA-rich diet to a Cho-rich diet than did noncarriers of the mutation (-16%). Conclusion: Carriers of the minority allele, 1/2, are more susceptible to the presence of SFA in the diet because of a greater increase in LDL cholesterol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The conventional deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique provides a quantitative estimate of total body stores of vitamin A in humans. The procedure requires equilibration of serum deuterated retinol with nondeuterated retinol after administration of an oral dose of deuterated vitamin A. Equilibration takes ≈3 wk to complete. Objective: Our goal was to develop a predictive mathematical formula for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A in adults by using a procedure that takes less time to perform because serum isotope equilibration is not required, so that blood drawing can be done 3 d, instead of ≈3 wk, after isotope dosing. Design: Ratios of serum deuterated to nondeuterated retinol (D:H retinol) were determined in Filipino adults (n = 68) 3 and 20 d after an oral dose of 0.015 mmol [2H4]retinyl acetate and in Guatemalan adults (n = 15) 3 and 21 d after a 0.030-mmol dose. D:H retinol values 20 or 21 d after the isotope dose were used in a mathematical formula to obtain quantitative estimates of total body stores of vitamin A that were then correlated with serum D:H retinol values 3 d after the isotope dose. Results: The relation between these variables was nonlinear and was described by the following equation: total body stores of vitamin A (in mmol retinol) = 0.00468 × 1037(isotope dose in mmol) /D:H retinol in serum 3 d after the isotope dose. Conclusion: A 3-d DRD technique could be used for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A; this technique takes less time than does the conventional DRD technique.

AB  - Background: The energy requirements of women have been based on total energy expenditure (TEE) derived from the factorial approach or as multiples of basal metabolic rate (BMR). Objective: This study was designed to reevaluate the energy requirements of healthy, moderately active underweight, normal-weight, and overweight women of reproductive age. Design: The energy requirements of 116 women [n = 13 with a low body mass index (BMI), n = 70 with a normal BMI, and n = 33 with a high BMI] were estimated from TEE measured by the doubly labeled water method. Twenty-four-hour EE and BMR were measured by room respiration calorimetry, activity EE was estimated from nonbasal EE as TEE - BMR, and physical activity level was calculated as TEE/BMR. Body composition was derived from a multicomponent model. Fitness, strength, and physical activity level were assessed, and fasting serum indexes were measured. Results: Energy requirements differed among the low-BMI (8.9 ± 0.9 MJ/d), normal-BMI (10.1 ± 1.4 MJ/d), and high-BMI (11.5 ± 1.9 MJ/d) groups (P = 0.02-0.001, all pairwise comparisons). Major predictors of BMR, 24-h EE, and TEE were weight, height, and body composition; minor predictors were fasting metabolic profile and fitness. Fat-free mass and fat mass accounted for the differences in EE seen between the BMI groups. The mean physical activity level of 1.86 suggested that the multiples of BMR used to estimate energy requirements have been underestimated. Conclusion: Recommended energy intakes for healthy, moderately active women of reproductive age living in industrialized societies should be revised on the basis of TEE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The quantity and type of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can alter essential fatty acid metabolism in humans. Diets rich in 20- and 22-carbon PUFAs may inhibit desaturase expression or activity and decrease the synthesis of longchain unsaturated fatty acids. Objective: It was theorized that the fat content of a fish-based diet would inhibit the kinetics of the in vivo metabolism of n-3 fatty acids compared with a beef-based diet. Design: A compartmental model was used to determine the coefficients of the kinetic rate constants from the plasma concentration time curves of pentadeuterated (d5) 18:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:5n-3, and 22:6n-3 of 10 subjects who subsisted on 3 diets with different long-chain PUFA contents. For 3 wk, subjects reported their food intake from their usual diets and then consumed a beef-based diet for 3 wk and then a fish-based diet for an additional 3 wk. Subjects consumed 1 g d5-18:3n-3 ethyl ester at weeks 3, 6, and 9. Blood was drawn over 168 h and the plasma analyzed for fatty acids. The coefficients of the kinetic constants of n-3 fatty acid metabolism and the percentage utilization of the substrates were determined. Results: Across all diets, < 1% of plasma 18:3n-3 was utilized for long-chain PUFA synthesis. There was a 70% reduction in the value of the rate constant coefficient that regulated transfer of the isotope from the 22:5n-3 compartment to 22:6n-3 when the fishbased diet was compared with the beef-based diet. The turnover rate of plasma d5-22:6n-3 also decreased. Conclusions: The primary effect of a fish-based diet on the kinetics of n-3 metabolism involves processes that inhibit the synthesis of 22:6n-3 from 22:5n-3. These processes may involve a system of feedback control mechanisms responsive to the plasma concentration of 22:6n-3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To reduce blackbird (Icteridae) damage to field crops in the north-central United States, dense stands of cattail (Typha spp.) are thinned with glyphosate herbicide. The stands become unusable as roosting and loafing sites, which helps to protect susceptible crops nearby, particularly sunflower (Helianthus annus). Landscape-level impacts of cattail management on non-target avian species have not been studied. We measured use of upland breeding territories by male ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) following cattail reduction in wetlands used by pheasants for overwintering. In August 1992, glyphosate was applied to all wetlands with ≥'70% cattail coverage in four 23-km 2 study blocks in south-eastern North Dakota. Four other blocks were used for controls. Habitat use was inferred from territorial crowing counts. No treatment effect or treatment*year interaction (all P'≥'0.05) was evident during 2 years of post-treatment observations. Although the herbicide eradicated large contiguous stands of cattail that pheasants had used for winter cover, surface water levels rose in 1993, which created additional cattail growth in untreated wetlands within the blocks. The additional cattail may have lessened the effect of the herbicide treatments. During drier periods, when cattail growth slows, cattail reduction could affect use of upland breeding sites. We recommend more research to assess the effects of glyphosate during drier periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Blackbirds (Icteridae) annually damage US$5–8 million of ripening sunflower in the northern Great Plains. Baiting blackbirds with avicide-treated rice during spring migration might reduce the regional breeding population. In March and April 1996–1997, we simulated a baiting program in eastern South Dakota to compare attractiveness of rice-baited plots placed in fields of corn and soybean stubble. Blackbirds used plots in corn stubble more often than plots in soybean stubble and chose rice-baited plots over unbaited reference plots. We conclude that blackbirds can be successfully baited with avicide-treated rice placed in corn stubble. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Low dietary vitamin K intake has been associated with an increased risk of hip fracture in men and women. Few data exist on the association between dietary vitamin K intake and bone mineral density (BMD). Objective:We studied cross-sectional associations between selfreported dietary vitamin K intake and BMD of the hip and spine in men and women aged 29-86 y. Design: BMD was measured at the hip and spine in 1112 men and 1479 women (x ± SD age: 59 ± 9 y) who participated in the Framingham Heart Study (1996-2000). Dietary and supplemental intakes of vitamin K were assessed with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire. Additional covariates included age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity score, and menopause status and current estrogen use among the women. Results:Women in the lowest quartile of vitamin K intake (x: 70.2 μg/d) had significantly (P ≤ 0.005) lower mean (± SEM) BMD at the femoral neck (0.854 ± 0.006 g/cm²) and spine (1.140 ± 0.010 g/cm²) than did those in the highest quartile of vitamin K intake (x: 309 μg/d): 0.888 ± 0.006 and 1.190 ± 0.010 g/cm², respectively. These associations remained after potential confounders were controlled for and after stratification by age or supplement use. No significant association was found between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men. Conclusions: Low dietary vitamin K intake was associated with low BMD in women, consistent with previous reports that low dietary vitamin K intake is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. In contrast, there was no association between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: An average daily calcium intake of 1300 mg is recommended for North American adolescents aged 9-18 y. However, questions remain about these recommendations. Objective: We assessed whether there is a stage of puberty when dietary calcium is more strongly related to peak bone mass, as indicated by young adult bone mass (YABM); whether dietary calcium intake > 1000 mg/d in adolescence is associated with higher YABM; and whether race affects any of these associations between dietary calcium and YABM. Secondarily, we evaluated relations between sedentariness and YABM. Design: In a retrospective cohort study, we recruited 693 black and white women aged 21-24 y who had participated in the 10-y National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study and measured YABM with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dietary calcium and sedentary activity data, gathered through 3-d food records and self-reports of televisionvideo viewing at 8 annual examinations, were averaged over 3 pubertal stages. Complete data were available from 161 black and 180 white females. Multiple regression, controlling for race, weight, and height, was applied to assess diet and activity relations with YABM. Results: Dietary calcium was most strongly associated with YABM in midpuberty. Calcium intake > 1000 mg/d was associated with higher YABM, but this association was not significant at all skeletal sites. Race did not affect the observed relations between calcium and YABM. Sedentary activity in prepuberty was inversely associated with YABM. Conclusions: Interventions should focus on ensuring adequate calcium intake in midpuberty and on minimizing sedentariness in prepuberty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Difficulty adapting to high-fat (HF) and highcarbohydrate (HC) diets may predispose children to obesity and diabetes. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that children have metabolic flexibility to adapt to HF and HC diets. Design: In protocol 1, 12 children aged 6-9 y and 12 adolescents aged 13-16 y were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume low-fat (LF), HC (25% and 60% of energy, respectively) or HF, low-carbohydrate (LC) (55% and 30% of energy, respectively) diets. In protocol 2, 12 adolescents aged 13-16 y were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume an LF-HC diet with 11% or 40% of carbohydrate as fructose. Total energy expenditure, nonprotein respiratory quotients (NPRQs), and substrate utilization were measured by using 24-h calorimetry. Effects of sex, puberty, body fat (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), intraabdominal fat (magnetic resonance imaging), and fitness on substrate utilization were tested. Results: Substrate utilization was not affected by puberty, body fat, intraabdominal fat, or fitness. Total energy expenditure was not affected by diet. In protocol 1, NPRQs and carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly affected by diet (P = 0.001) and sex (P = 0.005). NPRQs and carbohydrate utilization increased with the LF-HC diet. NPRQs decreased and fat utilization increased with the HF-LC diet; changes in substrate utilization were less pronounced in females than in males. In protocol 2, 24-h NPRQs and 24-h substrate utilization were not significantly affected by fructose, although net carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly lower and higher, respectively, with the high-fructose diet during fasting (P = 0.01) and in the subsequent feeding period (P = 0.05). Conclusion: Healthy, nonobese children and adolescents adapt appropriately to HF and HC diets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Previous studies to develop and validate bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations to predict body composition were limited by small sample sizes, sex specificity, and reliance on reference methods that use a 2-component model. Objective: This study was designed to develop sex-specific BIA equations to predict total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) with the use of a multicomponent model for children and adults. Design: Data from 5 centers were pooled to create a sample of 1474 whites and 355 blacks aged 12-94 y. TBW was measured by dilution, and FFM was estimated with a multicomponent model based on densitometry, isotope dilution, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The final race-combined TBW prediction equations included stature²/resistance and body weight (R² = 0.84 and 0.79 and root mean square errors of 3.8 and 2.6 L for males and females, respectively; CV: 8%) and tended to underpredict TBW in black males (2.0 L) and females (1.4 L) and to overpredict TBW in white males (0.5 L) and females (0.3 L). The race-combined FFM prediction equations contained the same independent variables (R² = 0.90 and 0.83 and root mean square errors of 3.9 and 2.9 kg for males and females, respectively; CV: ≈6%) and tended to underpredict FFM in black males (2.1 kg) and females (1.6 kg) and to overpredict FFM in white males (0.4 kg) and females (0.3 kg). Conclusion: These equations have excellent precision and are recommended for use in epidemiologic studies to describe normal levels of body composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - For much of the world’s forested area, the history of fire has significant implications for understanding forest dynamics over stand to regional scales. We analyzed temporal patterns of area burned at 25-year intervals over a 600-year period, using 10 tree-ring-based fire history studies located west of the crest of the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA, and related them to periods of possible influences of humans, climate, and stand development processes. An early period of widespread fire from the 1400s to ca. 1650 was followed by a period of reduced area burned from ca. 1650 to ca. 1800, possibly associated with cool climatic conditions. Fires were again widespread from ca. 1801 to ca. 1925, associated with European exploration and settlement and warm conditions. Fire suppression began ca. 1911, but appears to have been most effective in limiting the amount of area burned since ca. 1950. Anthropogenic change, climate, and the degree of stand/fuel development appear to have interacted in their influence upon temporal variation in fire regimes. Patterns of temporal variation in area burned were similar among the 10 studies, suggesting a regionally synchronous response.The roughly synchronous nature of fire in the region has important implications for our understanding of landscape dynamics under pre-settlement conditions. Forest landscapes of the Pacific Northwest may have exhibited high spatio-temporal variability even when large areas are considered. Major shifts in the landscape age class distribution were likely associated with episodic, high-severity disturbance events. Over certain time intervals in the past, particular seral stages of forest were either dominant across the region, or relatively scarce. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Worldwide, 30% of the population, a greater proportion of whom are women and children, is iron deficient. Soybeans are a major source of nonheme iron in many human diets, but information on iron bioavailability is still conflicting. Because much of soybean iron is in ferritin [distinct from the poorly bioavailable iron in cereals resulting from interactions between calcium, Fe(III), phytate, and proteins in the meal], soybeans provide a target for manipulating seed iron composition to achieve increased iron bioavailability. Objective: The aim was to reevaluate soybean iron bioavailability. Design: Eighteen women, most with marginal iron deficiency, consumed meals with intrinsically labeled (55Fe) soybeans (hydroponically grown and nonnodulating) as soup (n = 11) or muffins (n = 7) and a reference dose of 59Fe as ferrous sulfate in ascorbate solution. The radioactivity in red cells was measured 14 and 28 d later. Results: The mean 55Fe absorption from either soup or muffins was 27% and that from the reference dose was 61%. 55Fe was distributed approximately equally between protein (49.3 ± 3.0%) and phytate, a contrast with nodulating soybeans likely caused by a high phosphate content in the growth medium. There was an expected inverse correlation (r = -0.793, P < 0.001) between red cell radioactivity and serum ferritin concentration. Conclusions: These results show that soybeans appear to be a good source of nutritional iron in marginally iron-deficient individuals. More study is needed on the effect of plant nodulation on the form of soybean iron, aimed at enhancing bioavailability to combat iron deficiency in at-risk populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Immune structure and function are more compromised in edematous protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) than in nonedematous PEM. Whether the positive acute-phase protein (APP) response to infection is affected remains unknown. Objective: We assessed whether children with edematous PEM can mount a general APP response and compared the kinetic mechanisms of the response in children with edematous PEM with those in children with nonedematous PEM. Design: Plasma C-reactive protein, α1-acid glycoprotein, α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen concentrations and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen were measured in 14 children with edematous PEM, aged 11.4 ± 2 mo, and 9 children with nonedematous PEM, aged 10.1 ± 1.4 mo, at 3 times: ≈2 d after hospital admission (period 1), when they were malnourished and infected; ≈8 d after admission (period 2), when they were malnourished but free of infection; and ≈54 d after admission (period 3), when they had recovered. Results: Children with edematous and nonedematous PEM had higher plasma concentrations of 4 of 5 APPs in period 1 than in period 3. The magnitude of the difference in concentration and in the rate of synthesis of the individual APPs was less in the children with edematous PEM than in those with nonedematous PEM. The kinetic data show that the characteristics of the APP response were different in the 2 groups. Conclusions: These results suggest that severely malnourished children can mount only a partial APP response to the stress of infection and that the magnitude of this response is less in those with edema.

AB  - Background: The associations between homocysteine, B vitamin status, and pregnancy outcomes have not been examined prospectively. Objective:We assessed the associations of preconception homocysteine and B vitamin status with preterm birth and birth of lowbirth- weight (LBW) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants in Chinese women. Design: This was a case-control study of women aged 21-34 y. Preterm cases (n = 29) delivered living infants at < 37 wk gestation; term controls (n = 405) delivered infants at ⩾ 37 wk. LBW cases (n = 33) had infants weighing < 2500 g; normal-birth-weight controls (n = 390) had infants weighing ⩾ 2500 g. SGA cases (n = 65) had infants below the 10th percentile of weight-forgestational- age; appropriate-for-gestational-age controls (n = 358) had infants above this cutoff. Nonfasting plasma concentrations of homocysteine, folate, and vitamins B-6 and B-12 were measured before conception. Results: Elevated homocysteine (⩾12.4 μmol/L) was associated with a nearly 4-fold higher risk of preterm birth (OR: 3.6; 95% CI: 1.3, 10.0; P < 0.05). The risk of preterm birth was 60% lower among women with vitamin B-12 ⩾ 258 pmol/L than among vitamin B-12-deficient women (OR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.2, 0.9; P < 0.05) and was 50% lower among women with vitamin B-6 ⩾30 nmol/L than among vitamin B-6-deficient women (OR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.2, 1.2; NS). Folate status was not associated with preterm birth, and homocysteine and B vitamin status were not associated with LBW or SGA status. Conclusions: Elevated homocysteine and suboptimal vitamin B-12 and B-6 status may increase the risk of preterm birth. These results need to be confirmed in larger prospective studies.

AB  - Background: High body iron stores may increase the risk of several chronic diseases. Whether dietary factors contribute to the risk of high iron stores is unknown. Objective: We assessed the relation between dietary factors and the risk of high iron stores in the elderly Framingham Heart Study cohort. Design: We examined the relation between the usual intake of dietary factors (food-frequency questionnaire) and the risk of high iron stores (serum ferritin > 300 and 200 μg/L in men and women, respectively) in 614 subjects aged 68-93 y. Results: The risk of high iron stores was significantly higher 1) in subjects who took ⩾ 30 mg supplemental Fe/d than in nonusers [odds ratio (OR): 4.32; 95% CI: 1.63, 11.47], 2) in subjects who consumed > 21 servings of fruit/wk than in those who consumed ⩽ 14 servings/wk (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.26, 6.61), and 3) in subjects who consumed > 4 but < 7 or ⩾ 7 servings of red meat/wk than in those who consumed ⩽ 4 servings/wk (ORs: 2.94 and 3.61, respectively; 95% CIs: 1.33, 6.47 and 1.57, 8.27, respectively). Whole-grain intake (> 7 servings/wk) was inversely associated (OR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.75). Conclusions: Among elders, intakes of highly bioavailable forms of iron (supplemental iron and red meat) and of fruit, a dietary source of an enhancer of nonheme-iron absorption (vitamin C), promote high iron stores, whereas foods containing phytate (whole grains) decrease these stores. Individual dietary patterns may be important modulators of high iron stores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The recent increase in the dietary calcium recommendation from 800 to 1200 mg/d for persons aged > 51 y has made it important to identify alternative high-calcium dietary sources that the elderly can use in meeting their calcium requirement. Objective:We determined the bioavailability of calcium from 3 different sources: orange juice fortified with calcium-citrate malate, skim milk, and a calcium carbonate supplement. Design: Twelve subjects [9 women and 3 men with a mean (±SEM) age of 70 ± 3 and 76 ± 6 y, respectively] consumed low-calcium (300 mg/d) and high-calcium (1300 mg/d) diets for three 1-wk periods each during a 6-wk crossover study. The acute biochemical response to calcium from each of the 3 sources was assessed during a 4-h period after the initial breakfast meal of the high-calcium diet. Results: Postprandial suppression of serum parathyroid hormone did not differ significantly between the test meals containing calcium- fortified orange juice, the calcium carbonate supplement, and milk. This finding suggests that the calcium bioavailability from the 3 sources was equivalent. During the 1-wk high-calcium diet periods, fasting serum calcium increased by 3% (P < 0.0001), serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D decreased by 20% (P < 0.0001), and a biomarker of bone resorption (serum N-telopeptide collagen crosslinks) decreased by 14% (P < 0.02) compared with the low-calcium diet period. However, no differences among the supplemental calcium sources were found in these calcium-responsive measures or fasting serum parathyroid hormone concentration. Conclusions: In elderly subjects, the calcium bioavailability of the 3 high-calcium dietary sources tested was equivalent, during both the acute postprandial and longer-term periods.

AB  - Background: There are limited data about dietary intakes and plasma lipids of elderly US Hispanics. Objective: The disparity in prevalence of type 2 diabetes among population groups underscored our need to assess dietary and plasma risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Design: Plasma lipids and apolipoproteins and dietary intakes of macronutrients were measured in elderly subjects (60-98 y): 490 Hispanics of Caribbean origin (Puerto Ricans and Dominicans) and 163 non-Hispanic whites. Plasma values were related to ethnicity and to macronutrient intake. Differences in plasma lipids due to diabetes were assessed among the Hispanics. Results: Intakes of carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher and intakes of cholesterol and saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were lower in Hispanics than in non-Hispanic whites. Concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-I were significantly lower among Hispanic women than among non-Hispanic white women; a similar trend was seen in men. Dyslipidemia (high triacylglycerols and low HDL cholesterol) was more prevalent among Hispanics with than without diabetes. Conclusions: Ethnic differences in serum lipids exist and appear to be associated with differences in dietary intakes. However, both Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites had lipid profiles indicating a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Hispanics with diabetes were at higher risk of dyslipidemia than were those without diabetes. Our data suggest that lifestyle changes, including diet modification and exercise, could be of significant benefit to both ethnic groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Evidence is emerging that dietary phytoestrogens play a beneficial role in obesity and diabetes. Nutritional intervention studies performed in animals and humans suggest that the ingestion of soy protein associated with isoflavones and flaxseed rich in lignans improves glucose control and insulin resistance. In animal models of obesity and diabetes, soy protein has been shown to reduce serum insulin and insulin resistance. In studies of human subjects with or without diabetes, soy protein also appears to moderate hyperglycemia and reduce body weight, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia, supporting its beneficial effects on obesity and diabetes. However, most of these clinical trials were relatively short and involved a small number of patients. Furthermore, it is not clear whether the beneficial effects of soy protein and flaxseed are due to isoflavones (daidzein and genistein), lignans (matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol), or some other component. Isoflavones and lignans appear to act through various mechanisms that modulate pancreatic insulin secretion or through antioxidative actions. They may also act via estrogen receptor-mediated mechanisms. Some of these actions have been shown in vitro, but the relevanceof these studies to in vivo disease is not known. The diversity of cellular actions of isoflavones and lignans supports their possible beneficial effects on various chronic diseases. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of phytoestrogens on obesity and diabetes mellitus and their associated possible complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The increasing prevalence of obesity in the USA, especially among minority populations, is a serious public health concern. This present study analysed repeated measurements at baseline and at 6 and 12 months on 351 women in the control group and 575 women in the intervention group of the Women's Health Trial: Feasibility Study in Minority Populations. Dynamic random effects models were estimated using the three repeated observations to explain the effects of energy and macronutrient intakes, physical exercise, unhealthy eating habits and socio-economic characteristics on the subjects' body weights and waist and hip circumferences. In both the control and intervention groups, physical exercise was negatively associated with body weight and with waist and hip circumferences, while an index of unhealthy eating habits was positively associated (P<0??05). The proportion of energy derived from carbohydrate and from saturated and monounsaturated fat were often significant predictors of body weight and of waist and hip circumferences in the two groups. The results indicated that nutrition education programmes for improving eating habits and increasing physical exercise can reduce obesity prevalence in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - This paper examines willingness to pay (WTP) for an endangered species across geographically nested samples using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). The three samples range from (1) the boroughs that contain critical habitat for the Steller sea lion to (2) the state that contains these boroughs to and (3) the entire United States. Depending on the assumptions of the model, WTP varies tremendously from sample to sample. WTP for the United States is the highest and it is the lowest for the boroughs. The null hypotheses that mean WTP estimates are greater then zero were rejected for the boroughs and the state but were not rejected for the United States based on the 95% confidence intervals.

AB  - South-east Asian women have a lower rate of breast cancer compared with their counterparts in western countries and the difference in soyabean consumption has been claimed to be a major contributing factor. Genistein is the most studied phytochemical in the soyabean. An anti-oestrogenic effect is believed to play a crucial part in its chemopreventive mechanism. In the present study, we expressed oestrogen receptor (OR) in an OR-negative cell line, HepG2, to investigate the pro- and anti-oestrogenic effect of genistein on the OR transcriptional activity. Genistein by itself had an estimated concentration that induced 50 % of the maximum response (EC50) of 2??5 ??M FOR THE BINDING TO OR-??. IN THESE EXPERIMENTS, GENISTEIN CONCENTRATION AS HIGH AS 50 ??M could not reduce the oestrogen response element-driven luciferase activities initiated by oestradiol. Instead, genistein potentiated the OR transactivational activity while cell death was detected. On the other hand, an increased Bak and a reduced Bcl-x(L) was observed at 50 ??m-genistein by Western analysis. The combined effect of these two proteins could be important in the apoptotic process. Since plasma genistein >50 ??m has never been documented following consuming of soyabean or soyabean products, the present study does not support the notion that dietary soyabean exerts its chemopreventive effect through antagonizing OR.

AB  - Background: Iron deficiency is a major nutritional concern in developing countries, and food fortification is a common strategy to treat it. In Indonesia wheat flour is fortified with 60 mg Fe/kg, but because of increasing concerns about marginal zinc status in at-risk populations, consideration is being given to cofortifying flour with zinc. However, little is known about the effect of zinc fortification of flour on iron bioavailability or about the optimum form of zinc supplementation. Objective:We measured iron and zinc bioavailability from wheatflour dumplings containing 25 g flour fortified with 60 mg Fe/kg, either alone or with 60 mg Zn/kg as zinc oxide or as zinc sulfate. Design: Ninety children aged 4-8 y were recruited and assigned randomly to the 3 groups; 86 completed the study. Iron and zinc absorption were measured with established stable-isotope methods. Results: Iron absorption from the flour fortified with iron only was good (15.9 ± 6.8%), but when corrections were made for hemoglobin concentrations, it was significantly lower from the flour cofortified with zinc sulfate (11.5 ± 4.9%; P < 0.05) but not from the flour cofortified with zinc oxide (14.0 ± 8.9%). Zinc absorption was not significantly different between the zinc oxide and zinc sulfate cofortified flours (24.1 ± 8.2% compared with 23.7 ± 11.2%; P = 0.87). Conclusions: Iron and zinc appear to be highly bioavailable from foods made from fortified flour, but zinc sulfate cofortification may have a detrimental effect on iron absorption.

AB  - Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes cachexia, a metabolic response characterized by loss of muscle mass and elevated resting energy expenditure (REE). However, energy expenditure in physical activity in subjects with RA is lower than that in healthy subjects. It is not known which effect predominates in regulating total energy expenditure (TEE), and thus whether the dietary energy requirements of subjects with RA are higher or lower than those of healthy subjects. Objective: Our objective was to determine TEE in women with RA by using the reference method of doubly labeled water (2H218O). Design: In this case-control study, we examined 20 women with RA and 20 healthy women who were matched for age and body mass index. Results: The patients with RA were cachectic (their body cell mass was 14% lower than that of the controls, P < 0.001), but REE was not elevated, reflecting good disease control. Mean (± SD) TEE was 1344 kJ/d lower in the patients than in the controls (9133 ± 1335 compared with 10 477 ± 1992 kJ/d; P < 0.02). The energy expenditure in physical activity of the patients was 1034 kJ/d lower than that of the controls (P < 0.04), which accounted for 77% of the difference in TEE between the 2 groups. The physical activity level (TEE/REE) of the patients also tended to be lower than that of the controls (1.70 ± 0.24 compared with 1.89 ± 0.36; P < 0.07). Conclusion: A low physical activity level is the main determinant of lower-than-normal TEE, and thus energy requirements, in women with RA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Children with severe edematous malnutrition have higher than normal oxidant damage and lower concentrations of the antioxidant reduced glutathione (GSH), which are associated with slower synthesis of GSH and with low extra- and intracellular concentrations of the precursor amino acid cysteine. Objective:We tested whether early dietary supplementation with cysteine could restore a normal GSH concentration and synthesis rate in these children. Design: Erythrocyte cysteine and GSH concentrations and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of GSH were measured in 2 groups of 16 edematous malnourished children, 10 boys and 6 girls aged 6-18 mo, at 3 times after hospital admission: at ≈2-d (period 1), when they were malnourished and infected; at ≈11-d (period 2), when they were malnourished but cleared of infection; and at ≈50 d (period 3), when they had recovered. Supplementation with either 0.5 mmol · kg≈1 · d≈1 N-acetylcysteine (NAC group) or alanine (control group) started immediately after period 1 and continued until recovery. Results: From period 1 to period 2 the concentration and the absolute synthesis rate of GSH increased significantly (P < 0.05) in the NAC group but not in the control group. The increases in the GSH concentration and synthesis rate were ≈150% and 510% greater, respectively, in the NAC group than in the control group. The increases in the NAC group were associated with a significant effect of supplement (P < 0.03) on erythrocyte cysteine concentration. Conclusion: These results suggest that the GSH synthesis rate and concentration can be restored during the early phase of treatment if patients are supplemented with cysteine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Phytic acid reduction in cereal grains has been accomplished with plant genetic techniques. These low-phytic acid grains provide a strategy for improving the mineral (eg, zinc) status in populations that are dependent on grains, including maize (Zea mays L.), as major dietary staples. Objective: The objective was to compare the fractional absorption of zinc from polenta prepared from maize low in phytic acid with that prepared from a wild-type isohybrid maize (control) after short-term consumption by adults whose habitual diet is low in phytic acid. Design: Healthy adults served as their own control subjects in a crossover design. All meals on 1 d consisted of polenta prepared from a low-phytic acid maize homozygous for the recessive low phytic acid 1-1 (lpa1-1). On the preceding or following day, all meals consisted of polenta prepared from a sibling isohybrid homozygous wild-type maize with a "normal" phytic acid content. The low-phytic acid maize contained ≈60% less phytic acid than did the wild-type maize. All test meals were extrinsically labeled with zinc stable-isotope tracers. The fractional absorption of zinc was determined on the basis of fecal enrichment. Results: The molar ratios of phytic acid to zinc in the polenta prepared from lpa1-1 maize and the wild-type maize were 17:1 and 36:1, respectively. The corresponding fractional absorptions of zinc were 0.30 ± 0.13 and 0.17 ± 0.11, respectively (P < 0.005). Conclusion: Substitution of a low-phytic acid grain in a maizebased diet is associated with a substantial increase in zinc absorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Energy requirements and nutrient intakes are commonly estimated from self-reported dietary records, but such estimation has proven to be unreliable. When energy intakes determined from dietary records are compared with energy expenditures measured with the use of doubly labeled water, the former consistently underestimate energy requirements and have a high degree of variability. Objective: The objective of this study was to reduce the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records through the use of stepwise multiple regression analysis to develop models that relate energy expenditure measured with the use of doubly labeled water to energy intake from dietary records, sex, and fat-free mass (or weight and height). Design: Data from 54 healthy adult men and women were used to develop these models. Results: Fat-free mass, energy intake, and sex accounted for 86% of the variability in energy expenditure, whereas energy intake, sex, height, and weight accounted for 83%. When the model relating fatfree mass, energy intake, and sex to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records from -17 ± 27% to 3 ± 16%. When the model relating energy intake, sex, weight, and height to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of selfreported dietary records from -19 ± 25% to -0.3 ± 19%. Conclusion: Results from this study indicate that a simple relation can be used to correct self-reported dietary records to estimated energy requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Estimates of body-composition change in older adults are mostly derived from cross-sectional data. Objective: We examined the natural longitudinal patterns of change in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in older adults and explored the effect of physical activity, weight change, and age on these changes. Design: The body composition measured by hydrodensitometry and the level of sports and recreational activity (SRA) of 53 men and 78 women with a mean (± SD) initial age of 60.7 ± 7.8 y were examined on 2 occasions separated by a mean (± SD) time of 9.4 ± 1.4 y. Results: FFM decreased in men (2.0% per decade) but not in women, whereas FM increased similarly in both sexes (7.5% per decade). Levels of SRA decreased more in men than in women over the follow-up period. Baseline age and level of SRA were inversely and independently associated with changes in FM in women only. Neither age nor level of SRA was associated with changes in FFM in men or women. Weight-stable subjects lost FFM. FFM accounted for 19% of body weight in those who gained weight, even in the presence of decreased levels of SRA. Loss of FFM (33% of body weight) was pronounced in those who lost weight, despite median SRA levels > 4184 kJ/wk. Conclusions: On average, FM increased; however, the increase in women was attenuated with advancing age. The decrease in FFM over the follow-up period was small and masked the wide interindividual variation that was dependent on the magnitude of weight change. The contribution of weight stability, modest weight gains, or lifestyle changes that include regular resistance exercise in attenuating lean-tissue loss with age should be explored.

AB  - Background: Calcium absorption is enhanced by the presence of lactose, but the quantitative significance of this effect in infant formulas is uncertain. It is also not known whether lactose affects zinc absorption. Objective:We measured the absorption of calcium and zinc from infant formulas by using a multitracer, stable-isotope technique. Design: Eighteen full-term infants (aged 8-12 wk at enrollment) were fed 2 partially hydrolyzed whey-protein-based formulas ad libitum for 2 wk per formula. The carbohydrate source was lactose in one formula and glucose polymers in the other (lactosefree). Infants were studied in a blinded crossover fashion after 2 wk of adaptation to each formula. Isotope absorption studies were conducted with a 4-tracer method in which 70Zn and 44Ca were provided orally and 67Zn and 46Ca intravenously. Zinc and calcium absorption was measured from the fractional excretion of the oral and intravenous isotopes in urine. Results: Fractional and total calcium absorption was significantly greater from the lactose-containing formula than from the lactose-free formula. For total calcium absorption, the mean difference between formulas was 10.3% (P = 0.002) and 60 mg/d (P = 0.006). For zinc, fractional absorption (32 ± 11%), total absorption, and intake did not differ significantly between the 2 formulas. Conclusions: The presence of lactose in a formula based on cowmilk protein increases absorption of calcium but not of zinc. Absorption of calcium from a lactose-free infant formula is, however, adequate to meet the calcium needs of full-term infants when the formula's calcium content is similar to that of lactosecontaining, cow-milk-based infant formulas.

AB  - Background: Quantitative data on the mucosal uptake and serosal transfer of nonheme-iron absorption in humans and the effects of calcium on these components are limited. Objective: Our objective was to measure the initial mucosal uptake and the subsequent serosal transfer of nonheme iron and to determine the effects of adding calcium to a meal on both hemeand nonheme-iron retention. Design: Whole-gut lavage and whole-body scintillation counting methods were applied to determine the 8-h uptake of nonheme iron and the 2-wk retention (absorption) of heme and nonheme iron in healthy adults (n = 17) after the consumption of meals of radiolabeled food. Results: The initial uptake and absorption of nonheme iron were 11% and 7%, respectively, and the absorption of heme iron was 15%. Two-thirds of the nonheme iron taken up by the mucosa within 8 h was retained by the body after 2 wk (serosal transfer index: 0.63). Serum ferritin correlated inversely with the initial uptake and absorption of nonheme iron, but not with the nonheme serosal transfer index or the absorption of heme iron. Adding calcium (127 mg in cheese) to the meal did not affect absorption. Conclusions: On the basis of its association with serum ferritin, the initial mucosal uptake was the primary control point for nonheme- iron absorption. An apparent reduction in heme-iron absorption associated with the lavage procedure suggested that uptake of heme iron may take longer and proceed further through the intestine than that of nonheme iron. The absorption of both forms of iron was unaffected by the addition of cheese to this meal with high iron bioavailability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: After a dose of labeled vitamin A is given to humans for estimating body stores of vitamin A, blood is customarily drawn at pseudo-equilibration times ranging from 11 to 26 d. Objective: The objective was to determine whether a shorter sample collection interval (6 h or 3 d), which would be more realistic in field settings, can be used. Design: Correlations of enrichment at 6 h or 3 d with enrichment at 21 d were made after an oral dose of deuterium-labeled vitamin A was given to Chinese schoolchildren (aged 10-11 y; n = 58) with marginal-to-normal vitamin A status. A predictive equation was then derived and applied to data obtained from a separate group of children to verify that the calculated enrichment at 21 d (determined by using data obtained at an earlier time point to predict 21-d enrichment) reflected directly measured enrichment at 21 d. Results: Because 3-d isotope enrichment was found to correlate well with 21-d enrichment, a predictive equation was derived whereby 3-d data were used to predict isotope enrichment at pseudo-equilibration (ie, at 21 d). When the 3-d predictive equation was applied to a separate group of Chinese children, the calculated 21-d data (determined by using the 3-d data and the predictive equation) matched the directly measured 21-d data. Body stores of vitamin A determined from either the calculated or directly measured 21-d enrichment data also showed agreement. Conclusion: Percentage enrichment at 3 d (but not at 6 h) can be used to evaluate vitamin A body stores in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The influence of whole grains on cardiovascular disease risk may be mediated through multiple pathways, eg, a reduction in blood lipids and blood pressure, an enhancement of insulin sensitivity, and an improvement in blood glucose control. Objective: The objective was to examine the association between diets rich in whole- or refined-grain foods and several metabolic markers of disease risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort. Design: Whole-grain intake and metabolic risk markers were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2941 subjects. Results: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, whole-grain intake was inversely associated with body mass index (x: 26.9 in the lowest and 26.4 in the highest quintile of intake; P for trend = 0.06), waist-to-hip ratio (0.92 and 0.91, respectively; P for trend = 0.005), total cholesterol (5.20 and 5.09 mmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.06), LDL cholesterol (3.16 and 3.04 mmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.02), and fasting insulin (205 and 199 pmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.03). There were no significant trends in metabolic risk factor concentrations across quintile categories of refined-grain intake. The inverse association between whole-grain intake and fasting insulin was most striking among overweight participants. The association between wholegrain intake and fasting insulin was attenuated after adjustment for dietary fiber and magnesium. Conclusion: Increased intakes of whole grains may reduce disease risk by means of favorable effects on metabolic risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Within the past 10 y, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become one of the most widely used methods of measuring human body composition. However, DXA has not been fully evaluated against an independent criterion method of measuring body fatness in young females. Objective: Our objective was to determine the bias and agreement between DXA and a 4-compartment model in predicting the percentage of fat mass (%FM) in a multiethnic group of young females. Design: The %FM values measured by DXA of 73 white, 43 African American, 14 Hispanic, and 11 Asian females with a mean (± SD) age of 13.0 ± 1.9 y were compared with the 4-compartment values, which were based on measurements of body density, body water, and bone mineral content. Results: The %FM values measured by the 2 methods were correlated at r = 0.90 with an SEE of 3.3%; Bland-Altman analysis indicated an average bias of 3.9%. After nullification of the average bias, an individual estimate of %FM by DXA could be underestimated or overestimated by 6.7% when compared with the 4-compartment value. Conclusions: DXA is an appropriate method for estimating body composition in a group of young females because its bias and limits of agreement are independent of age, ethnicity, and body fatness. However, the limits of agreement of 6.7% could cause an individual FM value to be underestimated or overestimated by 28% relative to the 4-compartment value. Therefore, DXA may not be the optimal method of measuring the body fatness of young females. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: There is considerable interindividual variability in the postprandial lipid response to a fat-rich meal, and genetic factors have been considered to account for some of these effects. We previously showed that the G-A mutation 5 to the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I gene was significantly associated with the LDL-cholesterol response to diet. Objective:We evaluated whether this effect is mediated bymechanisms involving postprandial lipoprotein metabolism. Design: Twenty-eight G/G and 23 G/A healthy male subjects, homozygotes for the apo E3 allele, were subjected to a vitamin A fat-loading test. Blood was drawn at time 0 and every hour for 11 h. Results: There was a significant postprandial decrease in plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apo B in G/G subjects but not in G/A subjects. A greater postprandial response in large triacylglycerol- rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and a smaller postprandial response in large TRL apo A-IV was observed in G/A than in G/G subjects. Retinyl palmitate in large and small TRL concentrations was similar for both genotypes. No significant genotype effects were detected for triacylglycerol concentrations in plasma, small TRL fraction, and apo A-I and HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the G-A mutation affects the LDL-cholesterol response to diet by mechanisms involving postprandial lipoprotein cholesterol metabolism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Control of rodents with rodenticides is frequently ineffective due to bait-shyness and neophobia. In an initial study, to increase bait acceptance, Wistar-strain laboratory rats were individually tested for attraction to 3 odors (rat urine, preputial gland extract, and carbon disulfide) and for repellence to a fourth odor (coyote urine) in a 2-compartment arena. Three measures of rat preference-amount of bait consumed, elapsed time to feeding, and time in each compartment suggested that carbon disulfide at 10 ppm was an attractant (<f>p=0.003</f>). The other odors produced inconsistent results. In a second study, rats were offered pre-weighed quantities of USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard challenge bait containing a low level of 0.20% zinc phosphide (ZP) rodenticide. Two groups of rats (<f>n=28</f>) were given either 0 or 3 days of pre-baiting prior to ZP bait exposure. Half the animals in each group received deionized water placebo odor and the others received the carbon disulfide odor in the presence of baits. EPA bait with carbon disulfide odor produced elevated consumption (<f>p=0.0099</f>) with females showing a greater degree of effect (<f>p=0.046</f>). Pre-baiting produced higher mortality (220%) and higher level ZP dosages (30%) during baiting. Although mortality was 11% higher in rats presented ZP bait with carbon disulfide, dosages were unchanged. Relative to pre-baiting, the attractant had a marginal effect on ZP bait acceptance and produced mortality changes in males only. Further development of controlled release of this attractant for rodenticide baits would be needed before field applications are attempted; implications for using attractants in baits, traps, tracking powders to optimally control both rat genders are discussed.

AB  - As a response to channelization projects undertaken near the turn of the 20th century and in the late 1960s, upstream reaches and tributaries of the Yalobusha River, Mississippi, USA, have been rejuvenated by upstream-migrating knickpoints. Sediment and woody vegetation delivered to the channels by mass failure of streambanks has been transported downstream to form a large sediment/debris plug where the downstream end of the channelized reach joins an unmodified sinuous reach. Classification within a model of channel evolution and analysis of thalweg elevations and channel slopes indicates that downstream reaches have equilibrated but that upstream reaches are actively degrading. The beds of degrading reaches are characterized by firm, cohesive clays of two formations of Palaeocene age. The erodibility of these clay beds was determined with a jet-test device and related to critical shear stresses and erosion rates. Repeated surveys indicated that knickpoint migration rates in these clays varied from 0·7 to 12 m a-1, and that these rates and migration processes are highly dependent upon the bed substrate. Resistant clay beds of the Porters Creek Clay formation have restricted advancement of knickpoints in certain reaches and have caused a shift in channel adjustment processes towards bank failures and channel widening. Channel bank material accounts for at least 85 per cent of the material derived from the channel boundaries of the Yalobusha River system. Strategies to reduce downstream flooding problems while preventing upstream erosion and land loss are being contemplated by action agencies. One such proposal involves removal of the sediment/debris plug. Bank stability analyses that account for pore-water and confining pressures have been conducted for a range of hydrologic conditions to aid in predicting future channel response. If the sediment/debris plug is removed to improve downstream drainage, care should be taken to provide sufficient time for drainage of groundwater from the channel banks so as not to induce accelerated bank failures.

AB  - Background: Several nutrients are known to affect bone mineral density (BMD). However, these nutrients occur together in foods and dietary patterns, and the overall effects of dietary choices are not well understood. Objective: We evaluated associations between dietary patterns and BMD in older adults. Design: Of the original Framingham Heart Study subjects, 907 aged 69-93 y completed food-frequency questionnaires as part of an osteoporosis study. We defined dietary patterns by cluster analysis. BMD was measured at the proximal right femur (femoral neck, trochanter, Ward's area) with a dual-photon absorptiometer and at the 33% radial shaft with a single-photon absorptiometer. We regressed BMD measures onto the cluster variable, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Six dietary patterns were identified, with relatively greater proportions of intake from meat, dairy, and bread; meat and sweet baked products; sweet baked products; alcohol; candy; and fruit, vegetables, and cereal. After adjustment for multiple comparisons, men in the last group had significantly (P = 0.05) greater BMD than did 2-4 other groups at the hip sites and the candy group at the radius. Men in the candy group had significantly (P < 0.05) lower BMD than did those in the fruit, vegetables, and cereal group for 3 of the 4 sites. Women in the candy group had significantly (P < 0.01) lower BMD than did all but one other group at the radius. Conclusions: Dietary pattern is associated with BMD. High fruit and vegetable intake appears to be protective in men. High candy consumption was associated with low BMD in both men and women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Eating when exposed to large portions of palatable foods in the absence of hunger has been suggested to contribute to overweight. Objective: This research evaluated whether young girls' eating in the absence of hunger was stable across a 2-y period in middle childhood, was associated with an increased risk of overweight, and could be predicted by parents' use of restriction in child feeding. Design: The participants were 192 non-Hispanic white girls and their parents, assessed when the girls were 5 and 7 y of age. The girls' eating when exposed to palatable foods in the absence of hunger was measured after they consumed a standard lunch and indicated that they were no longer hungry. Results: Eating in the absence of hunger showed moderate stability across the 2-y period for most of the girls. The girls who ate large amounts of snack foods in the absence of hunger at 5 and 7 y of age were 4.6 times as likely to be overweight at both ages. Parents' reports of restricting their daughter's access to foods at age 5 y predicted girls' eating in the absence of hunger at age 7 y, even when the girls' weight status and eating in the absence of hunger at age 5 y were controlled for. Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence that young girls' eating in the absence of hunger may represent a stable phenotypic behavior of young overweight girls. In addition, these findings are consistent with previous work indicating that parents' restrictive feeding practices may contribute to this behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Iron supplements are often recommended for older breast-fed infants, but little is known about factors affecting iron absorption from human milk or supplements. Objective: We investigated the effects of age, iron status, and iron intake on iron absorption in healthy, term, breast-fed infants. Design: Twenty-five infants were randomly assigned to receive either 1) iron supplements (1 mg · kg-1· d-1) from 4 to 9 mo of age, 2) placebo from 4 to 6 mo and iron supplements from 6 to 9 mo, or 3) placebo from 4 to 9 mo. Infants were exclusively breast-fed to 6 mo and partially breast-fed to 9 mo of age. Iron absorption was assessed by giving 58Fe with mother's milk at 6 and 9 mo. Blood samples were obtained at 4, 6, and 9 mo, and complementary food intake was recorded at 9 mo. Results: At 6 mo, mean (±SD) fractional iron absorption from human milk was relatively low (16.4 ±11.4%), with no significant difference between iron-supplemented and unsupplemented infants. At 9 mo, iron absorption from human milk remained low in iron-supplemented infants (16.9 ±9.3%) but was higher (P = 0.01) in unsupplemented infants (36.7 ±18.9%). Unexpectedly, iron absorption at 9 mo was not correlated with iron status but was significantly correlated with intake of dietary iron, including supplemental iron. Conclusions: Changes in the regulation of iron absorption between 6 and 9 mo enhance the infant's ability to adapt to a low-iron diet and provide a mechanism by which some, but not all, infants avoid iron deficiency despite low iron intakes in late infancy.

AB  - Pseudomonas resinovorans phaC1Pre and phaC2Pre genes coding for poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) synthases were cloned by PCR and expressed in E. coli LS1298 (fadB). Repeat-unit composition analysis showed that β-hydroxydecanoate (67–75 mol%) and β-hydroxyoctanoate (25–33 mol%) are the major monomers of the PHA produced in cells grown on decanoate. Sequence analysis showed that the gene products of phaC1Pre and phaC2Pre had 61% identical (75% positive) amino-acid sequence matches, and both sequences contained a conserved α/β-hydrolase fold in the carboxy-terminal portion of the proteins. Switching the α/β-hydrolase folds of phaC1Pre and phaC2Pre yielded chimeric pha7 and pha8 genes that afforded PHA synthesis in E. coli LS1298. The repeat-unit compositions of PHA in cells containing pha7 and pha8 were similar to those found in transformants containing the parental genes. Deletion mutants of phaC1Pre and phaC2Pre that resulted in potential translational fusions also supported PHA synthesis with similar repeat-unit compositions. Chimeric genes obtained from the switching of fragments containing the α/β-hydrolase folds of phaC1Pre and Ralstonia eutropha phbC did not direct the synthesis of PHA in transformed cells.

AB  - Replicated field studies were conducted over a three-year period to assess the yield-reducing potential of southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii) on cowpea, and to evaluate the range of genetic variability in cowpea germplasm for resistance. Southern blight was shown to have a considerably greater impact on dry-seed yields than that suggested by a review of the published literature. The disease caused a dry-seed yield loss of 53.4% in one study, and losses approaching 50% were observed for some cultivars in a second study. Reduced pod numbers likely accounted for most of the reduced dry-seed yields. There is significant variability in cowpea germplasm for resistance to southern blight. Two cultivars, Brown Crowder and Carolina Cream, exhibited promising levels of resistance in two years of testing. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Background: Increasing evidence suggests that silicon is important in bone formation. The main source of silicon for humans is the diet, but the bioavailability of silicon from solid foods is not well understood. Objective: We estimated the dietary intake of silicon by adults, separately for men and women and for different age groups. Foods that were major contributors to silicon intake were identified. We then estimated the gastrointestinal uptake of silicon from major food sources and studied how uptake correlated with the silicon contents of the foods. Design: Silicon intakes were determined in cohorts from the original Framingham Study and the Framingham Offspring Study by using a 126-item food-frequency questionnaire. Gastrointestinal uptake of silicon from foods was estimated in 3-8 healthy subjects by using urinary silicon excretion as a surrogate measure of silicon uptake. Results: Mean silicon intakes in men (30 and 33 mg/d in the original Framingham and Framingham Offspring cohorts, respectively) were significantly higher than those in women (24 and 25 mg/d in the 2 cohorts, respectively; P = 0.0001). Silicon intake decreased with age (P < 0.001, adjusted for sex). The major food sources were beer and bananas in men and bananas and string beans in women. Silicon was readily available from foods; a mean of 41% of the ingested silicon was excreted in urine. The silicon content of the foods consumed was significantly correlated with urinary silicon excretion (P = 0.019). Conclusions: Solid foods are a major source of available silicon. The association between dietary silicon intake and bone health should now be investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The vitamin A activity of β-carotene is variable and surprisingly low in women. The reasons for this are not well understood. The vitamin A activity of βcarotene in men is still uncertain. Contributions of dietary factors compared with individual traits are largely unknown. Objective: Our objective was to measure the intrinsic variability in the vitamin A activity of β-carotene among healthy, well-fed men living in a controlled environment. Design: We used a double-tracer test-retest design. We dosed 11 healthy men orally with 30 μmol hexadeuterated (D6) retinyl acetate (all-trans-19,19,19,20,20,20-[2H6]retinyl acetate) and then with 37 μmol D6 β-carotene (19,19,19,19',19',19'-[2H6] β-carotene) 1 wk later. Doses were taken with breakfasts containing 16 g fat. We measured D6 retinol, D6 β-carotene, and trideuterated (D3) retinol (derived from D6 β-carotene) concentrations in plasma. Areas under the plasma concentration × time since dosing curves (AUCs) were determined for D6 retinol, D6 β-carotene, and D3 retinol. Results: All men had detectable D6 retinol concentrations in plasma. The mean (±SE) absorption of D6 β-carotene in all subjects was 2.235 ± 0.925%, and the mean conversion ratio was 0.0296 ± 0.0108 mol retinol to 1 mol β-carotene. Only 6 of 11 men had sufficient plasma concentrations of D6 β-carotene and D3 retinol that we could measure. The mean absorption of D6 β-carotene in these 6 subjects was 4.097 ± 1.208%, and the mean conversion ratio was 0.0540 ± 0.0128 mol retinol to 1 mol β-carotene. Conclusion: The vitamin A activity of β-carotene, even when measured under controlled conditions, can be surprisingly low and variable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: There is currently no consensus on the effect of dietary protein intake on the skeleton, but there is some indication that low calcium intakes adversely influence the effect of dietary protein on fracture risk. Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine whether supplemental calcium citrate malate and vitamin D influence any associations between protein intake and change in bone mineral density (BMD). Design: Associations between protein intake and change in BMD were examined in 342 healthy men and women (aged ≥65 y) who had completed a 3-y, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Protein intake was assessed at the midpoint of the study with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire and BMD was assessed every 6 mo by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The mean (±SD) protein intake of all subjects was 79.1 ± 25.6 g/d and the mean total calcium intakes of the supplemented and placebo groups were 1346 ± 358 and 871 ± 413 mg/d, respectively. Higher protein intake was significantly associated with a favorable 3-y change in total-body BMD in the supplemented group (in a model containing terms for age, sex, weight, total energy intake, and dietary calcium intake) but not in the placebo group. The pattern of change in femoral neck BMD with increasing protein intake in the supplemented group was similar to that for the total body. Conclusion: Increasing protein intake may have a favorable effect on change in BMD in elderly subjects supplemented with calcium citrate malate and vitamin D. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Aging is a complex biological process, which usually is accompanied by changes in socioeconomic status, which may have a great impact on the physical and nutritional status of the elderly. Decreased food intake and a sedentary lifestyle in the growing numbers of the elderly increase their risk for malnutrition, decline of bodily functions and developing chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is believed to be an important factor in aging and many age-associated degenerative diseases. Modulation of oxidative stress by energy restriction in animals has been shown to be one of the mechanisms for retarding the aging process. Dietary antioxidants are regarded as being important in modulating oxidative stress of aging and age-associated diseases. Supplementation of the elderly with vitamin E has been shown to enhance immune response, delay onset of Alzheimer's disease, and increase resistance to oxidative injury associated with exercise. Vitamin E, in comparison with other antioxidants, is also effective in reducing viral titres, but not the longevity of middle-aged mice. Our studies have indicated that polyphenols or vitamin E may assist in preventing cardiovascular disease, in part by decreasing expression by endothelial cells of proinflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, and monocyte adhesion. Most recently, we have found that some of these antioxidants may prevent tumour growth by inhibiting angiogenesis via suppression of interleukin 8 and modulation of the cell junction molecule, VE-cadherin. These findings provide further support for the consumption of fruit and vegetables, which contain several forms of phytochemicals with antioxidant activity, in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among the elderly.

AB  - Background: Magnesium has been suggested to be beneficial in counteracting all phases of the processes that lead to ischemic heart disease, including terminal events such as arrhythmia and sudden death. Objective:We tested the hypothesis that an intake of magnesium considerably below the recommended dietary allowance can produce chemical and physiologic evidence of depletion. Design: Twenty-two postmenopausal women were maintained in a metabolic unit and ate a diet of conventional foods containing less than one-half of or more than the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium (320 mg/d). Dietary assignments were random and double blind in a crossover design. Magnesium concentrations were measured by spectroscopy and ion-specific electrolyte analysis, and Holter electrocardiograms lasting ≈21 h were recorded. Results: Magnesium concentrations in erythrocytes, serum (total and ultrafilterable), and urine were significantly lower when dietary magnesium was lower. Holter monitors showed a significant increase in both supraventricular and supraventricular plus ventricular beats when the dietary magnesium concentration was low. Hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, and hypokalemia were not found. Conclusions: The magnesium requirement was defined with the use of biochemical and electrophysiologic criteria. The recommended dietary allowance of 320 mg/d seems correct; 130 mg is too little. Persons who live in soft water areas, who use diuretics, or who are predisposed to magnesium loss or ectopic beats may require more dietary magnesium than would others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The specific underlying causes of adult weight gain remain uncertain. Objective: The objective was to determine the association of 3 measures of eating behavior with weight gain and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) in adults. Design: Current dietary restraint, disinhibition, and hunger were assessed with the use of the Eating Inventory in 638 healthy, nonsmoking women aged 55-65 y. In addition, subjects reported their current weight and height, their weight for 6 age intervals, and changes in voluntary dietary energy restriction over the past 10 y. Current weight and height were validated in 10% of subjects. Results: Current disinhibition strongly predicted weight gain and current BMI (partial r = 0.27 and 0.34, respectively, both P < 0.001). Neither restraint nor hunger was a significant independent predictor of either variable, but the positive associations between disinhibition and both weight gain and BMI were attenuated by restraint (P = 0.016 and 0.010, respectively, after adjustment for confounding variables). In the subpopulation of women who reported a stable level of voluntary dietary energy restriction, disinhibition also strongly predicted weight gain and higher BMI, and restraint was negatively associated with weight gain (partial r = -0.17, P = 0.019). Conclusions: Higher disinhibition is strongly associated with greater adult weight gain and higher current BMI, and dietary restraint may attenuate this association when disinhibition is high. These findings suggest that eating behavior has an important role in the prevention of adult-onset obesity and that further studies are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The adequacy of indispensable amino acid supplies has received much attention in studies of protein requirements, but the availability of nitrogen for synthesis and maintenance of the supply of dispensable amino acids has been overlooked. Objective:We aimed to determine whether nitrogen balance and the endogenous supply of the dispensable amino acids glycine and tyrosine can be maintained with a marginal protein intake. Design: Phenylalanine, glycine, and tyrosine kinetics were measured in young adults (6 men, 6 women) on 4 occasions during a reduction in habitual protein intake (1.13 g · kg-1· d-1) to a marginal intake (0.75 g · kg-1· d-1) by using a multiple stableisotope- infusion protocol. Results: During the 10-d period of marginal protein intake, nitrogen excretion fell initially, then remained constant such that nitrogen balance was negative for the first 2 d and then positive or zero thereafter. Whole-body protein degradation and synthesis predicted from phenylalanine kinetics declined significantly (P < 0.05) over the period of marginal protein intake. Despite the reduction in the amount of glycine and tyrosine derived from whole-body proteolysis, the fluxes of glycine and tyrosine were maintained. Conclusions: The results show that adaptation to a marginal intake of dietary protein consisted of an overall reduction in whole-body protein turnover, net protein catabolism, and the rate of nitrogen excretion. The conserved nitrogen was sufficient to maintain the endogenous synthesis and hence the supply of glycine and tyrosine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Laboratory-based body-composition techniques include hydrostatic weighing (HW), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), measurement of total body water (TBW) by isotope dilution, measurement of total body potassium, and multicompartment models. Although these reference methods are used routinely, each has inherent practical limitations. Whole-body air-displacement plethysmography is a new practical alternative to these more traditional body-composition methods. We reviewed the principal findings from studies published between December 1995 and August 2001 that compared the BOD POD method (Life Measurement, Inc, Concord, CA) with reference methods and summarized factors contributing to the different study findings. The average of the study means indicates that the BOD POD and HW agree within 1% body fat (BF) for adults and children, whereas the BOD POD and DXA agree within 1% BF for adults and 2% BF for children. Few studies have compared the BOD POD with multicompartment models; those that have suggest a similar average underestimation of -2-3% BF by both the BOD POD and HW. Individual variations between 2-compartment models compared with DXA and 4-compartment models are partly attributable to deviations from the assumed chemical composition of the body. Wide variations among study means, -4.0% to 1.9% BF for BOD POD - HW and -3.0% to 1.7% BF for BOD POD - DXA, are likely due in part to differences in laboratory equipment, study design, and subject characteristics and in some cases to failure to follow the manufacturer's recommended protocol. Wide intersubject variations between methods are partly attributed to technical precision and biological error but to a large extent remain unexplained. On the basis of this review, future research goals are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Various methods are used by epidemiologists to estimate the energy cost of physical activity; these include physical activity records and recalls. However, there is limited validation of these methods against the doubly labeled water technique for determining energy expenditure (EE). Objective: We compared EE as estimated by indirect methods (physical activity records and recall questionnaires) used in epidemiologic studies with EE obtained from doubly labeled water (EEDLW) in free-living men. Design: We determined EEDLW, energy intake at weight maintenance, and EE from 7-d physical activity records (EERecord) and a 7-d physical activity recall questionnaire (EERecall) in 24 men aged 41 ± 2.0 y (x - ± SEM) with a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 25.1 ± 0.5. Results: There was excellent agreement between EEDLW (13.27 ± 0.35 MJ/d) and energy intake (13.19 ± 0.36 MJ/d), with a difference of 0.5 ± 1.0% (x - ± SE). The indirect measures of physical activity and EE were 14.17 ± 0.37 MJ/d for EERecord (difference from EEDLW: 7.9 ± 3.2%) and 17.40 ± 1.45 MJ/d for EERecall (difference from EEDLW: 30.6 ± 9.9%). Conclusions: Seven-day physical activity records provide an acceptable estimate of EE in free-living adults compared with EEDLW, but 7-d physical activity recalls have limited application to estimate daily EE. For optimal validity, the 7-d physical activity records require good subject compliance and the provision of careful instructions for their use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/d) may decrease cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women by improving lipid profiles. Objective: We measured the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on lipids and lipoproteins in postmenopausal women. Design: Postmenopausal women (n = 51) consumed 0 (control), 15 (1 drink), and 30 (2 drinks) g alcohol (ethanol)/d for 8 wk each as part of a controlled diet in a randomized crossover design. The control diet provided ≈15%, 53%, and 32% of energy from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively. The energy provided from alcohol in the 15- and 30-g alcohol diets was replaced with energy from carbohydrate. Results: Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma LDL cholesterol decreased from 3.45 to 3.34 mmol/L (P = 0.04) and triacylglycerol from 1.43 to 1.34 mmol/L (P = 0.05) after 15 g alcohol/d. There were no additional significant decreases in either lipid after an increase in alcohol intake from 15 to 30 g/d. Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma HDL cholesterol increased nonsignificantly from 1.40 to 1.43 mmol/L after 15 g alcohol/d but increased to 1.48 mmol/L after 30 g alcohol/d (P = 0.02). Apolipoprotein A-I increased significantly and apolipoprotein B decreased significantly after 30 g alcohol/d relative to the concentration after the control diet. Conclusions: Consumption of 15-30 g alcohol/d by postmenopausal women apparently decreases cardiovascular disease risk by improving lipid profiles. Plasma LDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations improve after 15 g alcohol/d; plasma HDL cholesterol improves only after 30 g alcohol/d. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary: Two-year old trees of ‘Ambersweet’ orange, a hybrid of ‘Clementine’ tangerine (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and ‘Orlando’ tangelo (C. paradisi Macf. × C. reticulata), were grown for twenty-nine months under two daytime [CO2] of 360 (ambient) and 720 (elevated) μmol mol−1, and at two temperatures of 1.5 and 6.0 °C above ambient temperature. The objectives were to characterize the physiology and biochemistry of citrus photosynthesis in response to both elevated [CO2] and temperature, and to test if the photosynthetic capacity of sweet orange, in terms of rubisco activity and protein concentration, was down-regulated under long-term elevated growth [CO2]. Both mature (old) and expanding (new) leaves of trees grown under elevated [CO2] had higher photosynthetic rates, lower transpiration and conductance, and higher water-use efficiency (WUE), compared to those grown under ambient [CO2]. Although leaf WUE was reduced by high temperature, elevated [CO2] compensated for adverse effect of high temperature on leaf WUE. Activity and protein concentration of rubisco were down-regulated in both new and old leaves at elevated [CO2]. In contrast, the amount of total leaf soluble protein was not affected by elevated [CO2] and high temperature. Down-regulation of photosynthetic capacity was greater for the old leaves, although activity and protein concentration of rubisco in the new leaves were higher. Contents of soluble sugars and starch in all leaves sampled, which were higher under elevated [CO2], were generally not affected by high temperature. Within each specific CO2-temperature treatment and leaf type, total soluble sugars remained relatively unchanged throughout the day, as did the starch content of early morning and midday samples, and only a moderate increase in starch for the old leaves at late afternoon sampling was observed. In contrast, starch content in the new leaves increased substantially at late afternoon. Activities of sucrose-P synthase and adenosine 5′-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase were reduced at elevated [CO2] in the old leaves, but not in the new leaves. The photosynthetic acclimation of Ambersweet orange leaves at elevated [CO2] allowed an optimization of nitrogen use by reallocation/redistribution of the nitrogen resources away from rubisco. Thus, in the absence of other environmental stresses, citrus photosynthesis would perform well under rising atmospheric [CO2] and temperature as predicted for this century. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This article reviews the current status of our knowledge of lipoproteins, nutrition, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Special emphasis is placed on CHD risk assessment, dietary intervention studies, diet-gene interactions, and current dietary guidelines and the contributions of my laboratory to these areas. CHD remains a major cause of death and disability, and risk factors include age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, elevated serum LDL cholesterol, and low HDL cholesterol. Emerging independent risk factors include elevated serum concentrations of lipoprotein(a), remnant lipoproteins, and homocysteine. The cornerstone of CHD prevention is lifestyle modification. Dietary intervention studies support the concepts that restricting saturated fat and cholesterol and increasing the intake of essential fatty acids, especially n-3 fatty acids, reduces CHD risk. The variability in LDL-cholesterol response to diet is large, related in part to APOE and APOA4 genotype. The use of antioxidants in intervention studies has not been shown to reduce CHD risk. Compliance with dietary recommendations remains a major problem, and directly altering the food supply may be the most effective way to ensure compliance. The available data indicate that the recommendation to use fats, oils, and sugars sparingly for CHD prevention should be modified to a recommendation to use animal, dairy, and hydrogenated fats; tropical oils; egg yolks; and sugars sparingly and to increase the use of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

AB  - Background: A common G-to-A substitution in the promoter area (-75 base pairs) of the apolipoprotein A-I gene (APOA1) has been described. The A allele was shown to be associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations in some studies but not in others. Objective: We examined whether dietary fat modulates the association between this polymorphism and HDL-cholesterol concentrations. Design: We studied a population-based sample of 755 men and 822 women from the Framingham Offspring Study. Results: The frequency of the A allele was 0.165. No significant differences were observed between G/G subjects and carriers of the A allele for any lipid variables. In multivariate linear regression models, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in women were associated with a significant interaction between polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake as a continuous variable and APOA1 genotype (P = 0.005). By using 3 categories of PUFA intake, we found a significantly different effect of APOA1 genotype across PUFA categories in women. When PUFA intake was <4% of energy, G/G subjects had ≈14% higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations than did carriers of the A allele (P < 0.05). Conversely, when PUFA intake was >8%, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in carriers of the A allele were 13% higher than those of G/G subjects (P < 0.05). No significant allelic difference was observed for subjects in the range of PUFA intake of 4-8% of energy. These interactions were not significant in men. Conclusions: We found a significant gene-diet interaction associated with the APOA1 G-A polymorphism. In women carriers of the A allele, higher PUFA intakes were associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations, whereas the opposite effect was observed in G/G women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Studying magnesium pools in the body with use of stable isotopes may be helpful for evaluating magnesium status. Data on the evaluation of magnesium pools in humans are scarce. Objective: We undertook this study to evaluate the effects of a magnesium supplementation program on the size of the exchangeable body pools of magnesium and on classic indexes of magnesium status in healthy women with normal magnesium status. Design: Ten healthy women participated in a kinetic study with magnesium stable isotopes before and after 8 wk of magnesium supplementation. Each woman received 3 supplements containing 5.08 mmol (122 mg) elemental Mg/d (366 mg/d). Before and at the end of the supplementation period, each woman received an intravenous injection of 1.67 mmol (40 mg) 25Mg, and the plasma magnesium disappearance curve was followed for the next 7 d. Two methods were used to analyze the exchangeable pools of magnesium: 1) formal multicompartmental modeling and 2) a simplified estimation of the total mass of the rapidly exchangeable magnesium pool (EMgP). Results: In these healthy women, exchangeable magnesium pools represented 11-12% of total body magnesium on the basis of multicompartmental analysis. The simplified estimation of EMgP overestimated the size of the exchangeable magnesium pools by ≈ 45-50%. Eight weeks of magnesium supplementation did not significantly modify the size of the exchangeable magnesium pools, whereas urinary magnesium excretion was significantly higher after 8 wk of supplementation. Conclusion: Women with no clinical evidence of magnesium deficiency may not respond to short-term supplementation with increases in the mass of the exchangeable magnesium body pool or in magnesium turnover rates.

AB  - Background: Vegetarian diets often contain more copper than do nonvegetarian diets, but observations of decreased plasma copper associated with vegetarian diets suggest that these diets have lower copper bio availability than do nonvegetarian diets. Objective: Our objective was to determine apparent copper absorption from controlled lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets. Design: Eighteen women aged 20-13 y consumed lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian weighed diets for 8 wk each in a randomized, crossover design. The lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets provided 1.45 and 0.94 mg Cu, 38 and 16 g dietary fiber, and 1584 and 518 mg phytic acid, respectively, per 9.2 MJ (2200 kcal). After the women had been consuming each diet for 4 wk, their apparent copper absorption was determined by measuring the fecal excretion of the 65Cu stable isotope, extrinsically added to the entire menu as 65CuCl2. Results: Plasma copper and ceruloplasmin were not affected by diet. The efficiency of apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet was less (33%) than that from the nonvegetarian diet (42%) (pooled SD: 9%; P < 0.05). However, because the lactoovovegetarian diet contained ≈50% more copper, the total apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet (0.48 mg/d) was greater than that from the nonvegetarian diet (0.40 mg/d) (pooled SD: 0.09 mg; P < 0.05). Conclusion: Although copper was less efficiently absorbed from a vegetarian diet than from a nonvegetarian diet, total apparent copper absorption was greater from the vegetarian diet because of its greater copper content.

AB  - Background: Hydrogenation of vegetable oils affects blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. However, little is known about the effects of hydrogenation on other components, such as vitamin K. Low phylloquinone (vitamin K1) intake is a potential risk factor for bone fracture, although the mechanisms of this are unknown. Objective: The objective was to compare the biological effects of phylloquinone and its hydrogenated form, dihydrophylloquinone, on vitamin K status and markers of bone formation and resorption. Design: In a randomized crossover study in a metabolic unit, 15 young adults were fed a phylloquinone-restricted diet (10 (µg/d) for 15 d followed by 10 d of repletion (200 µg/d) with either phylloquinone or dihydrophylloquinone. Results: There was an increase and subsequent decrease in measures of bone formation (P = 0.002) and resorption (P = 0.08) after dietary phylloquinone restriction and repletion, respectively. In comparison with phylloquinone, dihydrophylloquinone was less absorbed and had no measurable biological effect on measures of bone formation and resorption. Conclusion: Hydrogenation of plant oils appears to decrease the absorption and biological effect of vitamin K in bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Because Gymnodinium breve Davis exhibits positive phototaxis and often accumulates at or near the air–water interface, the diurnal, in situ physiological responses of this red-tide toxic dinoflagellate were investigated in both cultured and field populations. Cultures were incubated outdoors in temperature-controlled waterbaths, and allowed to acclimate to attenuated (i.e. without UV) natural irradiance. Five-liter aliquots of these photoacclimated cultures were placed in cubitainers fitted with either a quartz window or a quartz window covered with acetate [providing exposure to photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) + UV or PAR-only, respectively], incubated in Sarasota Bay, Florida (USA), and then assessed for diurnal variations in in vivo fluorescence and in vitro pigmentation, lipid, carbohydrate and protein contents over three sinusoidal photoperiods in weather varying from overcast to partly cloudy to extremely sunny. In addition, surface, field populations were assessed for diurnal variations in in vivo fluorescence and in vitro pigmentation over two sinusoidal photoperiods in extremely sunny weather. The maximum quantum yield for stable charge separation at photosystem II (measured by variable fluorescence/maximum fluorescence) exhibited depressions that were roughly symmetrical about solar noon on the overcast and partly cloudy days, but exhibited a pronounced hysteresis on the sunny days for both the cultured and field populations. Induction and relaxation of the xanthophyll cycle over the course of the photoperiod during the partly cloudy and sunny days resulted in stoichiometrically inverse cellular accumulation of the xanthophyll cycle pigments diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin. Generally, only minor adjustments occurred in the cellular chlorophyll a and fucoxanthin contents. No differences occurred between cultures exposed to PAR-only or PAR + UV treatments in the epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle pigments or in the maximum quantum yield for stable charge separation at photosystem II. Differences in oxygen production rates and other biochemical parameters between cultures exposed to PAR-only or PAR + UV treatments were not directly attributable to UV, indicating that G. breve possesses an inherent UV resistance and a robust photosynthetic capability.

AB  - Background: The use of hydrostatic weighing (HW) to measure body composition in the elderly can be difficult and is based on the assumption of constancy of body compartments. Objective: We calibrated and validated a new air-displacement plethysmography (AP) method for measuring body composition in the elderly. Design: A 4-compartment equation for calculating percentage body fat (%BF) that used body density (Db), total body water, and bone mineral content was used as the criterion for evaluating %BF estimated by the 2- and 3-compartment models. Db was measured by HW [Db(HW)] and by use of the AP instrument [Db(AP)] in 30 elderly men and 28 elderly women aged 70-79 y. Results: Db(AP) was not significantly different from Db(HW). However, analysis of variance showed a significant two-way interaction between sex and compartment model (P < 0.02), indicating that the comparisons between the sexes were different across all compartment models. The %BF calculated for the women was significantly higher than that calculated for the men by both HW and AP and for all compartment models. Conclusion: Our data indicate that Db(AP) was not significantly different from Db(HW). Although differences were seen in %BF between the sexes, we observed no significant differences among the compartment models within each sex for this group of older individuals.

AB  - Background: Alterations in body composition have been reported in HIV-positive adults receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but the magnitude and potential determinants of these changes are unclear. Objective: We compared total and regional body composition, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, in 203 HIV-positive men and 62 HIV-positive women according to HAART. Design: This was a cross-sectional analysis of a cohort study of nutrition and HIV infection. Results: After adjustment for age, weight, race, and exercise habits, total weight and fat mass did not differ significantly in men or women by HAART. Trunk fat was greater in men (1.0 kg; P < 0.001) and women (1.4 kg; P = 0.005) and leg fat was lower in men (-1.0 kg; P < 0.001) and women (-1.5 kg, P = 0.005) receiving HAART than in those not. This corresponded to a greater percentage of total fat mass located in the trunk (men: 7.5%, P < 0.001; women: 5.1%, P = 0.02). Lean mass was also greater with longer duration of HAART in men (P < 0.002). In men receiving HAART, total and regional bone mineral content were less than in the men not receiving HAART (P < 0.001). These effects increased with longer duration of HAART. Protease inhibitors were associated with the largest differences in regional fat. Conclusions: HAART is associated with redistribution of fat mass from the legs to the trunk, despite no significant differences in total fat mass or weight. In men, HAART is also associated with a reduction in bone mineral content, suggesting that HAART increases the risk of central obesity and osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Critically ill patients are characterized by a hypermetabolic state, a catabolic response, higher nutritional needs, and a decreased capacity for utilization of parenteral substrate. Objective: We sought to analyze the relation between a patient's metabolic state and their nutritional intake, substrate utilization, and nitrogen balance (NB) in mechanically ventilated, critically ill children receiving parenteral nutrition. Design: This was a cross-sectional study in which resting energy expenditure (REE) and NB were measured and substrate utilization and the metabolic index (MI) ratio (REE/expected energy requirements) were calculated. Results: Thirty-three children (mean age: 5 y) participated. Their average REE was 0.23 ± 0.10 MJ⋅kg-1⋅d-1 and their average MI was 1.2 ± 0.5. Mean energy intake, protein intake, and NB were 0.25 ± 0.14 MJ⋅kg-1⋅d-1, 2.1 ± 1 g⋅kg-1⋅d-1, and -89 ± 166 mg⋅kg-1⋅d-1, respectively. Patients with an MI >1.1 (n = 19) had a higher fat oxidation than did patients with an MI <1.1 (n = 14; P < 0.05). Patients with lipogenesis (n = 13) had a higher carbohydrate intake than did patients without lipogenesis (n = 20; P < 0.05). Patients with a positive NB (n = 12) had a higher protein intake than did patients with a negative NB (n = 21; P < 0.001) and lower protein oxidation (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Critically ill children are hypermetabolic and in negative NB. In this population, fat is used preferentially for oxidation and carbohydrate is utilized poorly. A high carbohydrate intake was associated with lipogenesis and less fat oxidation, a negative NB was associated with high oxidation rates for protein, and a high protein intake was associated with a positive NB.

AB  - Background: Heritability estimates for body mass index (BMI; in kg/m²) in children generally have been derived from twin and adoption studies. However, BMI does not reflect total or regional body composition. Objective: We evaluated the familial resemblance of body composition between prepubertal girls of normal weight and body fatness and their parents by using state-of-the-art technology. Design: The subjects were 101 girls [mean age: 8.5 ± 0.4 y; percentage body fat (%BF): 12-30%] and their biological parents. Weight, height, and body composition [fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and %BF] were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and total body potassium (TBK). Results: Weight, height, and BMI showed low-to-moderate similarity between the girls and both their parents (r = 0.29-0.44, P < 0.01). The girls' FM, FFM, and %BF were significantly related to both parents' body composition. Cross-generational equations were developed for DXA, eg, child's %BF = 12.4 + (0.158 paternal %BF) + (0.145 maternal %BF) (adjusted r² = 0.16, P < 0.001). Regional analysis with DXA showed that the adjusted r² values for the arm, trunk, and leg regions, respectively, were 0.17, 0.33, and 0.31 for lean tissue mass and 0.11, 0.14, and 0.09 for FM. TBK showed a similar relation between parents and girls (r = 0.28-0.47, P < 0.01). Significant heritability (h² ± SE) was detected for BMI (0.35 ± 0.17, P = 0.03) and %BF measured with DXA (0.50 ± 0.12, P = 0.0001). Conclusion: The body composition of prepubertal girls of normal weight and body fatness is significantly related to the body composition of both biological parents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV is a major component of triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein (TRL) apolipoproteins. Objective: We investigated the effects of dietary saturated fat and cholesterol restriction on the metabolism of TRL and plasma apo A-IV. Design:We assessed TRL and plasma apo A-IV kinetics in 16 and 4 subjects, respectively, consuming an average US (baseline) diet for 6 wk and a National Cholesterol Education Program Step II diet for 24 wk, respectively. At the end of each diet period, all subjects received a primed, constant infusion of deuterated leucine for 15 h with hourly feeding. Ratios of stable-isotope tracer to tracee were measured by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and kinetic data were modeled by using SAAM II. Results: Mean apo A-IV concentrations during the isotope infusion period were 6.9 ± 2.6 mg/L in TRL and 2.2 ± 3.2 mg/L in plasma with the baseline diet; these values were 37.7% (P < 0.001) and 19.4% (P < 0.01) lower with the Step II diet. Similar changes were observed in the fasting state between the 2 diets. The mean apo A-IV secretion rate decreased significantly from baseline by 59.6% in TRLs and by 40.2% in plasma. Significant correlations were observed between TRL apo A-IV concentrations and the secretion rate (r = 0.94, P < 0.001) and between TRL apo A-IV pool size and TRL-cholesterol concentrations (r = 0.48, P < 0.01). Conclusions: Our data indicate that the National Cholesterol Education Program Step II diet significantly decreases TRL and plasma apo A-IV concentrations compared with the average US diet and that this decrease is due to a decreased secretion rate.

AB  - The aquatic fate of the triethylamine salt formulation of triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyri-dinyloxyacetic acid) was determined in whole-pond applications in closed (no water exchange) systems in California, Missouri and Texas in two studies conducted in 1995 and 1996. These studies determined dissipation rates of triclopyr and its principal metabolites, 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCP) and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-methoxypyridine (TMP) in water, sediment and finfish. Ponds at each site containing a healthy biological community were treated at 2.5mg AE litre-1 triclopyr. Water and sediment samples were collected through 12 weeks post-treatment, and non-target animals were collected through 4 weeks post-treatment. Dissipation rates for triclopyr, TCP and TMP were similar at each of the study sites, despite differences in weather, water quality, biotic community, light transmission and geographic location. Half-lives of triclopyr in water ranged from 5.9 to 7.5 days, while those of TCP and TMP ranged from 4 to 8.8 and 4 to 10 days, respectively. Levels of triclopyr and TCP declined in sediments at half-lives ranging from 2.8 to 4.6 days and 3.8 to 13.3 days, respectively. No TMP was detected in sediment. Triclopyr and TCP cleared from fish in relation to concentrations found in the water column. TMP levels in fish were generally an order of magnitude higher than levels of triclopyr and TCP, particularly in the visceral portion of the animals. No adverse effects on water quality or on the non-target biotic community were found following triclopyr applications. Results of these studies were comparable to those of triclopyr dissipation studies conducted in reservoirs, lakes and riverine systems in Georgia, Florida, Minnesota and Washington, indicating that the degradation and dissipation of triclopyr and its metabolites are similar in representative systems throughout the USA.

AB  - Background: Atherosclerosis, a primary cause of myocardial infarction (MI), is an inflammatory disease. Aspirin use lowers risk of MI, probably through antithrombotic and antiinflammatory effects. Because serum ferritin (SF) can be elevated spuriously by inflammation, reported associations between elevated SF, used as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease could be confounded by occult inflammation and aspirin use if they affect SF independently of iron status. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that aspirin use is associated with reduced SF. Design: We used analysis of covariance to investigate the relation between SF and categories of aspirin use in 913 elderly participants aged 67-96 y in the Framingham Heart Study. Results: After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol use, concentrations of C-reactive protein and liver enzymes, white blood cell count, and use of nonaspirin nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and other medications, subjects who took > 7 aspirins/wk had a significantly lower (by 25%) geometric mean SF than did nonusers, who took < 1 aspirin/wk (71 compared with 95 µg/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.004). This effect of aspirin on SF was more marked in diseased subjects than in healthy subjects (mean SF was 50% lower compared with 21% lower, respectively). Conclusions: Aspirin use is associated with lower SF. We suggest this effect results from possible increased occult blood loss and a cytokine-mediated effect on SF in subjects with inflammation, infection, or liver disease. The relations between aspirin, inflammation, and SF may confound epidemiologic associations between elevated SF, as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: There is limited information regarding the associations of lifestyle factors and sex with HDL subclasses containing apolipoprotein (apo) A-I (Lp A-I) and both apo A-I and apo A-II (Lp A-I:A-II). Objective: We sought to examine the relations between 2 major HDL subclasses and sex, menopausal status, nutrient intakes, and adiposity. Design: We conducted interviews and measured blood variables in 409 government employees aged 40-59 y in Taiwan. Results: Women (n = 203) had significantly higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol, Lp A-I, and Lp A-I:A-II than did men (n = 206). Postmenopausal women (n = 72) had higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol, Lp A-I, and Lp A-I:A-II than did pre-menopausal women (n = 131). Body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio were strong predictors of and exerted an independent additive effect on Lp A-I concentrations in both men and women. However, body adiposity was associated with Lp A-I:A-II concentrations only in men. Waist-to-hip ratio was an independent determinant of Lp A-I but not of Lp A-I:A-II in men and postmenopausal women after adjustment for age, body mass index, smoking, and diet. Although there were relatively weak associations between dietary factors and both HDL subclasses (r = 0.01-0.26) in men and women according to bivariate analyses, multiple regression models showed that total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol intakes were significantly correlated with HDL cholesterol and both Lp A-I and Lp A-I:A-II in men, but not in women. Conclusion: Our data suggest that body adiposity and dietary fat consumption affect 2 major HDL subclasses differently depending on subject sex and menopausal status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Zinc homeostasis and normal plasma zinc concentrations are maintained over a wide range of intakes. Objective: The objective was to identify the homeostatic response to severe zinc depletion by using compartmental analysis. Design: Stable zinc isotope tracers were administered intravenously to 5 men at baseline (12.2 mg dietary Zn/d) and after 5 wk of acute zinc depletion (0.23 mg/d). Compartmental modeling of zinc metabolism was performed by using tracer and mass data in plasma, urine, and feces collected over 6-14 d. Results: The plasma zinc concentration fell 65% on average after 5 wk of zinc depletion. The model predicted that fractional zinc absorption increased from 26% to essentially 100%. The rate constants for zinc excretion in the urine and gastrointestinal tract decreased 96% and 74%, respectively. The rate constants describing the distribution kinetics of plasma zinc did not change significantly. When zinc depletion was simulated by using an average mass model of zinc metabolism at baseline, the only change that accounted for the observed fall in plasma zinc concentration was a 60% reduction in the rate constant for zinc release from the most slowly turning over zinc pool. The large changes in zinc intake, excretion, and absorption--even when considered together--only explained modest reductions in plasma zinc mass. Conclusion: The kinetic analysis with a compartmental model suggests that the profound decrease in plasma zinc concentrations after 5 wk of severe zinc depletion was mainly due to a decrease in the rate of zinc release from the most slowly turning over body zinc pool.

AB  - Background: High circulating total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations are associated with stroke, which is a major cause of cognitive dysfunction. Blood homocysteine concentrations are inversely correlated with performance on some cognitive-function tests and a relation was recently shown between hyperhomocysteinemia and Alzheimer disease. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the relation between serum tHcy concentrations and performance on short delayed-recall tests of elderly men and women participating in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, phase 2 (1991-1994). Design: Subjects were aged ≥60 y. Subjects reported no previous stroke, completed ≥8 y of education, and took a test of delayed recall of story ideas (n = 1200) or words (n = 1270). Results: After adjustment for sex, age, race-ethnicity, income, years of education, and serum creatinine concentration, subjects in the upper half of the folate distribution recalled, on average, >4 of 6 story ideas; subjects with lower folate status recalled significantly fewer ideas (P < 0.001). Of the subjects with low folate status, story recall was significantly poorer in those with serum tHcy concentrations above the 80th percentile of the distribution (13.7 (µmol/L) than in those with lower tHcy concentrations (P < 0.03). The odds ratio relating hyperhomocysteinemia to recall of ≥ 1 of 3 previously learned words was 0.3 (95% CI: 0.2, 0.7) after adjustment for the 5 demographic factors alone and was 0.4 (0.2, 0.9) after further adjustment for serum folate concentration. Conclusion: Hyperhomocysteinemia is related to poor recall and this association was partially independent of folate status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Flavonoids may exert their health benefit in cardiovascular disease by modulating monocyte adhesion in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. Most in vitro studies used forms of flavonoids present in food rather than forms that appear in plasma after ingestion. Objectives: We tested the effects of plasma metabolites of (+)-catechin and quercetin on the modulation of monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Design: Plasma extracts of flavonoid metabolites were prepared after intragastric administration of pure compounds to rats. The plasma preparations contained sulfate or glucuronide conjugates or both and methylated forms. We measured adhesion of U937 monocytic cells to HAEC and the production of ROS in HAEC when cells were pretreated with either pure compounds or plasma extracts from control or treated rats. Adhesion assays were performed with HAEC stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1β or U937 cells activated with phorbol myristyl acetate; ROS were measured after challenging HAEC with IL-β or hydrogen peroxide. Results: Pretreatment of HAEC with (+)-catechin metabolites inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-β-stimulated cells, whereas pretreatment with intact (+)-catechin had no effect. Generation of ROS in hydrogen peroxide-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin, its metabolites, and control plasma extract, whereas ROS generation in IL-β-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin metabolites only. In contrast, quercetin inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-β-stimulated HAEC, whereas its metabolites were not effective. Conclusions: Metabolic conversion of flavonoids such as (+)-catechin and quercetin modifies the flavonoids' biological activity. Metabolites of flavonoids, rather than their intact forms, may contribute to the reported effects of flavonoids on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that are widely distributed in fruit, vegetables, and red wines. Anthocy-anin products are also prescribed as medicines in many countries for treating various diseases. However, the pharmacokinetics of dietary anthocyanins are not known in humans because these glycosides were long considered nonabsorbable. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins can be absorbed as glycosides and to evaluate their pharmacokinetics in humans. Design: Four healthy elderly women consumed 720 mg anthocyanins. A series of blood and urine samples were collected before and after consumption of the anthocyanins. Anthocyanins were measured in plasma and urine by combining an octadecylsi-lane solid-phase extraction for sample preparation and an HPLC system with diode array for anthocyanin separation and detection. The structures of anthocyanins as glycosides in plasma and urine were further confirmed by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: Anthocyanins were detected as glycosides in plasma and urine. The maximum plasma concentration of total anthocyanins varied from 55.3 to 168.3 nmol/L, with an average of 97.4 nmol/L, and was reached within 71.3 min. The elimination of plasma anthocyanins appeared to follow first-order kinetics. The elimination half-life of plasma total anthocyanins was calculated to be 132.6 min. Most anthocyanin compounds were excreted in urine during the first 4 h. The excretion rate of total anthocyanins was 77 (µg/h during the first 4 h and 13 (xg/h during the second 4 h. Conclusion: Anthocyanins are absorbed in their unchanged glycated forms in elderly women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Serum retinyl ester concentrations are elevated in hypervitaminosis A. It was suggested that retinyl esters > 10% of total serum vitamin A indicate potential hypervitaminosis, but this cutoff was derived from small clinical samples that may not be representative of the general population. Objective: We sought to examine the distribution of serum retinyl ester concentrations and associations between retinyl ester concentrations and biochemical markers of liver dysfunction in a nationally representative sample. Design: We assessed the associations between serum retinyl ester concentrations and 5 biochemical indexes of liver dysfunction by using multivariate linear and multiple logistic regression techniques and controlling for age, sex, use of supplements containing vitamin A, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and use of exogenous estrogens in 6547 adults aged > 18 y in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988-1994. Results: Thirty-seven percent of the sample had serum retinyl ester concentrations > 10% of total serum vitamin A and 10% of the sample had serum retinyl esters > 15% of total vitamin A. We found no associations between serum retinyl ester concentrations and 1) concentrations of any biochemical variable (multiple linear regression) or 2) risk of having biochemical variables above the reference range (multiple logistic regression). We did not find a serum retinyl ester value with statistically significant sensitivity and specificity for predicting increases in biochemical indexes of liver dysfunction. Conclusions: The prevalence of serum retinyl ester concentrations > 10% of the total vitamin A concentration in the NHANES III sample was substantially higher than expected but elevated retinyl ester concentrations were not associated with abnormal liver function.

AB  - Background: Early diagnostic efforts and advances in multidrug therapy have considerably prolonged the survival time of children infected perinatally with HIV. Despite these advances, few studies have addressed calcium status and bone growth in HIV-infected children. Objective: Our objective was to examine the effect of HIV infection on calcium status and bone growth in children. Design: We measured calcitropic hormones, urinary calcium excretion, bone mineral content, and body composition in 19 young girls aged 9.2 ± 2.6 y (range: 5.9-15.2 y) who were infected perinatally with HIV. Results: Serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] and parathyroid hormone concentrations were elevated above normal ranges in 25% and 12% of these girls, respectively. Urinary calcium excretion normalized for creatinine excretion was also elevated (Ca/Cr >0.18) in 17% of these children despite suboptimal calcium intakes (679 ± 437 mg/d). Total-body bone mineral content, measured with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, averaged 845.1 ± 279.0 g and was on average 2.7 z scores below age- and race-matched values reported in non-HIV-infected healthy girls. Significant positive correlations were found between an indirect marker of bone resorption in urine (N-telopeptide) and 1,25(OH)2 D (P < 0.02, r² = 0.586, n = 9), and between serum N-telopeptide and total alkaline phosphatase (P < 0.001, r² = 0.541, n = 17), suggesting that calcium insufficiency may be increasing bone resorption in this group. Conclusions: Young girls with HIV infection had low bone mass and evidence of calcium insufficiency. Nutritional counseling of children with HIV infection should emphasize adequate calcium intakes because of the importance of this age period in bone mineral acquisition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Dietary fatty acids may influence prostate carcinogenesis. Although the standard for assessing dietary effects in humans is the semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire, the extent to which self-reported intake correctly ranks prostatic exposure is unknown. Objective: The objective was to examine the correlation between reported intakes of different fatty acids and their concentrations in prostate tissue. Design: This was a cross-sectional study of 52 men undergoing surgical resection of the prostate gland. Usual dietary intake of saturated, total unsaturated, oleic, and linoleic fatty acids over the previous year was estimated with use of a 122-item version of the Health Habits and History Questionnaire. Concentrations in prostate tissue were measured directly by use of gas chromatography in healthy tissue collected at the time of surgery and were expressed as a percentage of total fatty acids. Correlations with 4 measures of dietary intake [g/d, g/d adjusted for total daily energy intake, % of total fat (as g/d), and % of total energy] were evaluated by Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficients. Results: Linoleic acid concentrations in prostate tissue were significantly correlated with dietary intake expressed as g/d adjusted for total energy [r = 0.29 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.49), P = 0.04], % of total fat [r = 0.36 (0.14, 0.550), P = 0.008], and % of total energy [r = 0.28 (0.04, 0.49), P = 0.042], but not as g/d. Although mean concentrations of saturated, total unsaturated, and oleic fatty acids in prostate tissue resembled mean intakes for the group, prostatic concentrations did not correlate with individual intakes. Conclusion: Self-reported intake of fatty acids is a satisfactory marker of prostatic exposure at the group level, but, with the exception of linoleic acid, does not correctly rank individuals with respect to intensity of exposure.

AB  - Background: The effect of alcohol drinking on LDL-cholesterol concentrations is unclear. The reported variability may be due to interactions between genetic factors and alcohol intake. Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine whether variation at the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) locus modulates the association between alcohol drinking and LDL cholesterol. Design: We used a cross-sectional design in a healthy population-based sample of 1014 men and 1133 women from the Framingham Offspring Study. Results: In male nondrinkers (n = 197), LDL cholesterol was not significantly different across APOE allele groups [APOE*E2 (E2), APOE*E3 (E3), and APOE*E4 (E4)]. However, in male drinkers (n = 817), differences were observed (P < 0.001); those with the E2 allele had the lowest concentrations. LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele was significantly lower in drinkers than in nondrinkers but was significantly higher in drinkers than in nondrinkers in men with the E4 allele. This APOE-alcohol interaction remained significant (P < 0.001) after age, body mass index, smoking status, and fat and energy intakes were controlled for. In women, the expected effect of APOE alleles on LDL cholesterol occurred in both drinkers (n = 791; P < 0.001) and non-drinkers (n = 342; P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression models showed a negative association (P < 0.05) between alcohol and LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele but a positive association in men with the E4 allele. No significant associations were observed in men or women with the E3 allele. Conclusion: In men, the effects of alcohol intake on LDL cholesterol are modulated in part by variability at the APOE locus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Established determinants of fasting total homocysteine (tHcy) concentration include folate and vitamin B-12 status, serum creatinine concentration, and renal function. Objective: Our objective was to examine the relation between known and suspected determinants of fasting plasma tHcy in a population-based cohort. Design: We examined the relations between fasting plasma tHcy concentrations and nutritional and other health factors in 1960 men and women, aged 28-82 y, from the fifth examination cycle of the Framingham Offspring Study between 1991 and 1994, before the implementation of folic acid fortification. Results: Geometric mean tHcy was 11% higher in men than in women and 23% higher in persons aged ≥65 y than in persons aged <45 y (P < 0.001). tHcy was associated with plasma folate, vitamin B-12, and pyridoxal phosphate (P for trend < 0.001). Dietary folate, vitamin B-6, and riboflavin were associated with tHcy among non--supplement users (P for trend < 0.01). The tHcy concentrations of persons who used vitamin B supplements were 18% lower than those of persons who did not (P < 0.001). tHcy was positively associated with alcohol intake (P for trend = 0.004), caffeine intake (P for trend < 0.001), serum creatinine (P for trend < 0.001), number of cigarettes smoked (P for trend < 0.001), and antihypertensive medication use (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our study confirmed, in a population-based setting, the importance of the known determinants of fasting tHcy and suggested that other dietary and lifestyle factors, including vitamin B-6, riboflavin, alcohol, and caffeine intakes as well as smoking and hypertension, influence circulating tHcy concentrations.

AB  - Background: Although iron deficiency occurs commonly in vulnerable groups of women of reproductive age, infants, and children, less is known about the iron nutriture of the elderly. Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the iron status of a noninstitutionalized, elderly US population, with a particular focus on 2 concerns unique to the elderly: 1) potential confounding effects of chronic disease on iron measures and 2) increased occurrence of elevated iron stores. Design: Multiple iron measures, including serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation, mean cell volume, and hemoglobin, were used to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID), iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and other measures of iron nutriture in 1016 elderly white Americans aged 67-96 y from the Framingham Heart Study. "Diseased" subjects were defined as those with possible pathologically altered iron measures due to inflammation, infection, elevated liver enzymes, hereditary hemochromatosis, or cancer. The effect of altered iron status on various prevalence estimates was assessed. Results: The elderly subjects had a low prevalence of ID (2.7%), IDA (1.2%), and depleted iron stores (3%; SF < 12 μg/L). In contrast, 12.9% had elevated iron stores (SF > 300 μg/L in men and SF > 200 μg/L in women), of which only 1% was attributable to chronic disease. The prevalence of ID, IDA, and depleted iron stores was unaffected by the presence of chronic disease. Conclusions: The Framingham Heart Study cohort is an iron-replete elderly population with a high prevalence of elevated iron stores in contrast with a low prevalence of iron deficiency, with insignificant effects of chronic disease on these iron status estimates. The likely liability in iron nutriture in free-living, elderly white Americans eating a Western diet is high iron stores, not iron deficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Various agriculture feedstock residues were evaluated for lactic acid production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus plantarum, without any additional nutrients. Lactic acid production was higher in alfalfa fiber and soya fiber compared to corncob (soft) and wheat straw. In Lactobacillus plantarum, the amount of lactic acid obtained from alfalfa fiber and soya fiber was 46 and 44 g/100 g fiber, respectively. However, in Lactobacillus delbrueckii, the lactic acid production in soya fiber was 44 g/100 g fiber and that of alfalfa was 32 g/100 g fiber. Small amounts of acetic acid were also produced from SSF of agricultural feedstocks residues. During SSF of alfalfa fiber, lactic acid production in both L. delbrueckii and L. plantarum was enhanced by adding pectinases and cellulases. Lactic acid production from alfalfa fiber did not change with increasing O2 transfer rates in the fermentation medium, whereas acetic acid production in both Lactobacillus cultures increased with increasing O2 transfer rates.

AB  - Background: Reducing the phytate content in grains by genetic manipulation is a novel approach to increasing nonheme-iron absorption from mixed diets. Fractional iron absorption from a genetically modified strain of low-phytate maize (LPM) increased significantly, by 50%. Objective: We assessed iron absorption from porridges prepared from the same LPM (lpa-1-1 mutant) and unmodified wild-type maize (WTM), both of which were fortified with either ferrous sulfate or sodium iron EDTA. Design: Porridges providing 3.4 mg Fe were fortified with either ferrous sulfate or sodium iron EDTA to provide an additional 1 mg Fe/serving. In 14 nonanemic women, iron absorption was measured as the amount of radioiron incorporated into red blood cells (extrinsic tag method) 12 d after consumption of the study diets. Results: No significant effect of phytate content on iron absorption was found when porridge was fortified with either sodium iron EDTA or ferrous sulfate. Fractional absorption of iron from WTM porridge fortified with sodium iron EDTA (5.73%) was 3.39 times greater than that from the same porridge fortified with ferrous sulfate (1.69%). Fractional absorption of iron from the sodium iron EDTA-fortified LPM porridge (5.40%) was 2.82 times greater than that from LPM porridge fortified with ferrous sulfate (1.91%) (P < 0.0001 for both comparisons, repeated-measures analysis of variance). Thus, the previously identified benefit of LPM was no longer detectable when maize porridge was fortified with additional iron. Conclusion: Iron was absorbed more efficiently when the fortificant was sodium iron EDTA rather than ferrous sulfate, regardless of the type of maize. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Current recommendations for energy intake of children are derived from observed intakes. Deriving energy requirements on the basis of energy expenditure and deposition is scientifically more rational than is using the observational approach and is now possible with data on total energy expenditure (TEE), growth, and body composition. Objectives: The objectives of this study were 1) to define energy requirements during the first 2 y of life on the basis of TEE and energy deposition; 2) to test effects of sex, age, and feeding mode on energy requirements; and 3) to determine physical activity. Design: TEE, sleeping metabolic rate, anthropometry, and body composition were measured in 76 infants. TEE was measured with doubly labeled water, sleeping metabolic rate with respiratory calorimetry, and body composition with a multicomponent model. Results: Total energy requirements were 2.23, 2.59, 2.97, 3.38, 3.72, and 4.15 MJ/d at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 mo, respectively. Energy deposition (in MJ/d) decreased significantly over time (P= 0.001) and was lower in breast-fed than in formula-fed infants (P= 0.01). Energy requirements were ≈80% of current recommendations. Energy requirements differed by age (P= 0.001), feeding group (P= 0.03), and sex (P= 0.03). Adjusted for weight or fat-free mass and fat mass, energy requirements still differed by feeding group but not by age or sex. Temperament and motor development did not affect TEE. Conclusion: The TEE and energy-deposition data of these healthy, thriving children provide strong evidence that current recommendations for energy intake in the first 2 y of life should be revised.

AB  - The optimal fat intake for children is discussed in light of their energy requirements. Total energy requirements were estimated from doubly labeled water studies of total energy expenditure (TEE) and the energy cost of growth. Basal metabolic rates (BMRs) were calculated from weight by using the equations of Schofield et al or by indirect calorimetry. Activity energy expenditure and physical activity levels were calculated as TEE -- BMR and TEE/BMR, respectively. Weight-specific energy requirements for maintenance and growth changed inversely to the increased energy needed for physical activity in healthy, active children. The total energy requirements of infants increased from 1.4 MJ/d at 1 mo to 4.0 MJ/d at 24 mo. The energy cost of growth decreased sharply from 37-38% to 2% of the total requirement during the first 24 mo of life. Energy requirements increased from 4 MJ/d at 2 y to 11 MJ/d at 18 y in girls and from 5 to 15 MJ/d in boys. The energy cost of growth varied between 1% and 4% of total energy requirements in childhood and adolescence. The current recommendation of 30% of energy from dietary fat for children aged >2 y is sufficient for adequate growth. Lower fat intakes may be associated with inadequate vitamin and mineral intakes and increased risk of poor growth. Diets higher in fat may lead to higher energy intakes and higher body fat, although available data for children are conflicting. Beyond infancy, children can meet their energy needs for maintenance, physical activity, and growth from a diet providing 30% of energy from fat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the food guide pyramid aim to reduce the risk of major chronic disease in the United States, but data supporting their overall effectiveness are sparse. The healthy eating index (HEI) measures the concordance of dietary patterns with these guidelines. Objective:We tested whether a high HEI score (range: 0-100; 100 is best) calculated from a validated food-frequency questionnaire (HEI-f) could predict lower risk of major chronic disease in men. Design: A cohort of US male health professionals without major disease completed detailed questionnaires on food intake and other risk factors for heart disease and cancer in 1986 and repeatedly during the 8-y follow-up. Major chronic disease outcome was defined as incident major cardiovascular disease (stroke or myocardial infarction, n = 1092), cancer (n = 1661), or other non-trauma-related deaths (n = 366). Results: The HEI-f was weakly inversely associated with risk of major chronic disease [comparing highest with lowest quintile of the HEI-f, relative risk (RR) = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.79, 1.00; P < 0.001 for trend]. The HEI-f was associated with moderately lower risk of cardiovascular disease (RR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.88; P < 0.001) but was not associated with lower cancer risk. Conclusions: The HEI-f was only weakly associated with risk of major chronic disease, suggesting that improvements to the HEI may be warranted. Further research on the HEI could have implications for refinements to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the food guide pyramid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Little is known about the overall health effects of adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The healthy eating index (HEI), developed at the US Department of Agriculture, measures how well Americans' diets conform to these guidelines. Objective: We tested whether the HEI (scores range from 0 to 100; 100 is best) calculated from food-frequency questionnaires (HEI-f) would predict risk of major chronic disease in women. Design: A total of 67272 US female nurses who were free of major disease completed detailed questionnaires on diet and chronic disease risk factors in 1984 and repeatedly over 12 y. Major chronic disease was defined as fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction or stroke, n = 1365), fatal or nonfatal cancer (n = 5216), or other nontraumatic deaths (n = 496), whichever came first. We also examined cardiovascular disease and cancer as separate outcomes. Results: After adjustment for smoking and other risk factors, the HEI-f score was not associated with risk of overall major chronic disease in women [relative risk (RR) = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.89, 1.06 comparing the highest with the lowest quintile of HEI-f score]. Being in the highest HEI-f quintile was associated with a 14% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk (RR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.72, 1.03) and was not associated with lower cancer risk (RR = 1.02; 95% CI: 0.93, 1.12). Conclusion: These data suggest that adherence to the 1995 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as measured by the HEI-f, will have limited benefit in preventing major chronic disease in women.

T1  - Serum retinol, the acute phase response, and the apparent misclassification of vitamin A status in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

AB  - Background: Serum retinol decreases transiently during the acute phase response and can thus result in misclassification of vitamin A status. Objective: Our objective was to determine the prevalence of acute phase response activation in a representative sample of the US population, identify the factors associated with this activation, and determine whether persons with an active acute phase response have lower serum retinol concentrations. Design: Data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) were analyzed. A serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration ≥10 mg/L indicated an active acute phase response. Results: Mean serum retinol was lowest in subjects aged <10 y and increased with age. Concentrations were higher in males than in females aged 20-59 y. The prevalence of a CRP concentration ≥ 10 mg/L was lowest in subjects aged <20 y (≤ 4%) and increased with age to a maximum of nearly 15%. An elevated CRP concentration was 2.4-fold greater in females than in males aged 20-59 y. Serum retinol was lower in subjects with elevated CRP concentrations. Conclusions: Serum retinol increases with age and males have higher mean values than do females aged 20-59 y. The prevalence of a CRP concentration ≥ 10 mg/L also increases with age, is 2-fold greater in females than in males aged 20-69 y, and is associated with common inflammatory conditions. Thus, inflammation appeared to contribute to the misclassification of vitamin A status in the NHANES III population, and serum CRP is useful in identifying subjects who may be misclassified.

AB  - A ca. 5.5-kb region of Pseudomonas resinovorans genome containing the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis locus was sequenced. Three complete open-reading-frames (ORFs), i.e., phaC1Pr, phaZPr, and phaC2Pr, were identified. Using this sequence information, phaC1Pr was PCR-cloned from P. resinovorans genomic DNA and expressed in E. coli as shown by a Nile Red plate assay and gas chromatography/mass spectrometric analysis.

AB  - Flax bast tissue was sequentially extracted using hexane, propanol, methanol and water as solvents and extracts were analyzed using reverse phase HPLC and 13C NMR. Results indicated a large variety of aromatic constituents including flavonoids and hydroxy-methoxy cinnamic acids linked to oligosaccharides and hydroxy acids through glycosidic linkages. The extracts inhibited cellulase and pectinase activities and can thus influence retting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing and the causes of this are unknown. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether energy expenditure (EE), measured by 24-h calorimetry and doubly labeled water, differed in normal-weight-for-height, multiethnic prepubertal girls with or without a familial predisposition to obesity. Design: Normal-weight, prepubertal white (n = 52), African American (n = 30), and Hispanic (n = 19) girls with a mean (±SD) age of 8.5 ± 0.4 y were studied according to parental leanness and overweight or obesity. The girls were grouped according to whether they had 2 lean parents (n = 30), 2 obese parents (n = 27), or 1 lean and 1 obese parent (n = 44). Basal metabolic rate (BMR), sleeping metabolic rate (SMR), 24-h EE, respiratory quotient, heart rate, and activity were measured by 24-h room calorimetry; free-living total EE (TEE), activity-related EE (AEE), and physical activity level were measured by doubly labeled water. EE was standardized by fat-free mass (FFM). Results: There were no significant differences among familial groups in weight, height, fat mass, FFM, or percentage body fat. African American girls had a higher FFM than did white or Hispanic girls (P < 0.05). BMR, SMR, 24-h EE, respiratory quotient, heart rate, and activity levels were not significantly different among familial groups. Additionally, there were no significant familial group differences in TEE, AEE, or physical activity level. However, BMR, SMR, and TEE were lower in African American girls than in white girls (P < 0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in EE between normal-weight, multiethnic prepubertal girls predisposed to obesity and those not predisposed to obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Dark adaptation has been used as a tool for identifying patients with subclinical vitamin A deficiency. With this functional test it was shown that tissue vitamin A deficiency occurs over a wide range of serum vitamin A concentrations. However, serum vitamin A concentrations > 1.4 µmol/L predict normal dark adaptation 95% of the time. Other causes of abnormal dark adaptation include zinc and protein deficiencies. Stable isotopes of vitamin A and isotope-dilution techniques were used recently to evaluate body stores of vitamin A and the efficacy of vitamin A intervention programs in field settings and are being used to determine the vitamin A equivalences of dietary carotenoids. Vitamin A toxicity was described in patients taking large doses of vitamin A and in patients with type I hyperlipidemias and alcoholic liver disease. Conversely, tissue retinoic acid deficiency was described in alcoholic rats as a result of hepatic vitamin A mobilization, impaired oxidation of retinaldehyde, and increased destruction of retinoic acid by P450 enzymes. Abnormal oxidation products of carotenoids can cause toxicity in animal models and may have caused the increased incidence of lung cancer seen in 2 epidemiologic studies of the effects of high-dose β-carotene supplementation. Major issues that remain to be studied include the efficiency of conversion of carotenoids in whole foods to vitamin A by using a variety of foods in various field settings and whether intraluminal factors (eg, parasitism) and vitamin A status affect this conversion. In addition, the biological activity of carotenoid metabolites should be better understood, particularly their effects on retinoid signaling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Consistent with its mission and with federal mandates, the US Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies have collected, organized, and disseminated the results of research and development activities (i.e., scientific and technical information) for more than five decades. Within the past few years, the DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) developed a project called PubSCIENCE to facilitate searching and access to peer-reviewed journal literature in the physical sciences and other energy-related disciplines. It represents a combination of OSTI's older Energy Science and Technology Database (EDB) and ongoing citations provided by collaborating journal publishers. Because PubSCIENCE is designed to be a gateway to full-text information located at publisher Websites, users or their institutions must either have a subscription to the participating journals or use pay-per-view options to access full text. PubSCIENCE is modeled after the PubMed system developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Library of Medicine. Provides an overview of how PubSCIENCE evolved, discusses how it works, and outlines planned future developments.

AB  - BIRDS Abstract: We describe a weather-durable cavity design used successfully by cavity-nesting species native to the eastern USA and, although accessible, avoided by European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). The artificial nest cavity was constructed using 9.5-cm inside diameter polyvinyl chloride tubes cut to 27.5-cm lengths. The tubes were mounted horizontally with 5.1-cm entry holes drilled through one of the capped ends. Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis), and Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) nested in 49 of 100, newly mounted tubes on utility poles in north-central Ohio, USA from April through June 2009. These species nested in 85% of the tubes during the same period in 2010 and fledged young from 94.1% of nests. We added 10 nest tubes (27.5-cm long &times; 17-cm inside diam) at sites similar to the smaller tubes in 2010. Two of the larger tubes were used by nesting starlings and six by native species. Cavity vertical depth has been shown to be an important feature in starling nest site selection, but our data from the larger tubes indicate that other factors are likely important.

AB  - Objective: Vitamin K has a potentially beneficial role in insulin resistance, but evidence is limited in humans. We tested the hypothesis that vitamin K supplementation for 36 months will improve insulin resistance in older men and women.Research Design and Methods: This was an ancillary study of a 36-month, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial designed to assess the impact of supplementation with 500 microg/day phylloquinone on bone loss. Study participants were older nondiabetic men and women (n = 355; aged 60-80 years; 60% women). The primary outcome of this study was insulin resistance as measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) at 36 months. Fasting plasma insulin and glucose were examined as the secondary outcomes.Results: The effect of 36-month vitamin K supplementation on HOMA-IR differed by sex (sex x treatment interaction P = 0.02). HOMA-IR was statistically significantly lower at the 36-month visit among men in the supplement group versus the men in the control group (P = 0.01) after adjustment for baseline HOMA-IR, BMI, and body weight change. There were no statistically significant differences in outcome measures between intervention groups in women.Conclusions: Vitamin K supplementation for 36 months at doses attainable in the diet may reduce progression of insulin resistance in older men.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The implementation of folic acid fortification in the United States has resulted in unprecedented amounts of this synthetic form of folate in the American diet. Folic acid in circulation may be a useful measure of physiologic exposure to synthetic folic acid, and there is a potential for elevated concentrations after fortification and the possibility of adverse effects. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the effect of folic acid fortification on circulating concentrations of folic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the Framingham Offspring Cohort. DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional study that used plasma samples from fasting subjects before and after fortification. Samples were measured for folate distribution with the use of an affinity-HPLC method with electrochemical detection. RESULTS: Among nonsupplement users, the median concentration of folic acid in plasma increased from 0.25 to 0.50 nmol/L (P < 0.001) after fortification, and among supplement users the median increased from 0.54 to 0.68 nmol/L (P = 0.001). Among nonsupplement users, the prevalence of high circulating folic acid (>/=85th percentile) increased from 9.4% to 19.1% (P = 0.002) after fortification. Among supplement users, the prevalence of high circulating folic acid increased from 15.9% to 24.3% (P = 0.02). Folic acid intake and total plasma folate were positively and significantly related to high circulating folic acid after adjustment for potential confounding factors (P for trend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Folic acid fortification has resulted in increased exposure to circulating folic acid. The biochemical and physiologic consequences of this are unknown, but these findings highlight the need to understand the effects of chronic exposure to circulating folic acid.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Vitamin K modulates cytokines involved in bone turnover, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and osteoprotegerin in vitro. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess 1) associations between measures of vitamin K status [plasma phylloquinone and serum percentage of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (%ucOC)] and IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and 2) the effect of daily 500 mug phylloquinone supplementation for 3 y on cytokine concentrations. DESIGN: Concentrations of IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and CRP and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured at baseline and after 3 y of follow-up in 379 healthy men and women (60-81 y; 58.5% women) participating in a randomized trial that studied the effect of vitamin K supplementation on bone loss. RESULTS: Cross-sectionally, plasma phylloquinone was inversely associated with IL-6 and CRP, whereas serum %ucOC was inversely associated with IL-6. Osteoprotegerin was associated positively with plasma phylloquinone and inversely with %ucOC. No differences were observed in the 3-y change in IL-6, osteoprotegerin, and CRP concentrations between participants who received phylloquinone supplementation and those who did not. Overall, no association was observed between the 3-y changes in circulating cytokines and BMD. CONCLUSIONS: Poor vitamin K status was associated with high concentrations of cytokines involved in bone turnover, but vitamin K supplementation did not confer a decrease in cytokine concentrations. The healthy status of this cohort may explain a lack of effect of vitamin K supplementation on cytokine concentrations. This trial was registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00183001.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The US Department of Agriculture Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM) is used for collecting 24-h dietary recalls in What We Eat In America, the dietary interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Because the data have important program and policy applications, it is essential that the validity of the method be tested. OBJECTIVE: The accuracy of the AMPM was evaluated by comparing reported energy intake (EI) with total energy expenditure (TEE) by using the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique. DESIGN: The 524 volunteers, aged 30-69 y, included an equal number of men and women recruited from the Washington, DC, area. Each subject was dosed with DLW on the first day of the 2-wk study period; three 24-h recalls were collected during the 2-wk period by using the AMPM. The first recall was conducted in person, and subsequent recalls were over the telephone. RESULTS: Overall, the subjects underreported EI by 11% compared with TEE. Normal-weight subjects [body mass index (in kg/m(2)) < 25] underreported EI by <3%. By using a linear mixed model, 95% CIs were determined for the ratio of EI to TEE. Approximately 78% of men and 74% of women were classified as acceptable energy reporters (within 95% CI of EI:TEE). Both the percentage by which energy was underreported and the percentage of subjects classified as low energy reporters (<95% CI of EI:TEE) were highest for subjects classified as obese (body mass index > 30). CONCLUSIONS: Although the AMPM accurately reported EIs in normal-weight subjects, research is warranted to enhance its accuracy in overweight and obese persons.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study estimated the annual economic cost of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in the United States in 2004, including the direct costs of medical care and the indirect costs due to lost productivity and premature death. METHODS: The cost-of-illness method was used to determine the costs of medical care and lost productivity, and a modified value of a statistical life approach was used to determine the cost of premature deaths. Data were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, the Compressed Mortality File, a telephone survey of 180 adult patients with GBS, and other sources. RESULTS: The estimated annual cost of GBS was $1.7 billion (95% CI, $1.6 to 1.9 billion), including $0.2 billion (14%) in direct medical costs and $1.5 billion (86%) in indirect costs. Most of the medical costs were for community hospital admissions. Most of the indirect costs were due to premature deaths. The mean cost per patient with GBS was $318,966 (95% CI, $278,378 to 359,554). CONCLUSIONS: The economic cost of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was substantial, and largely due to disability and death. The cost estimate summarizes the lifetime health burden due to GBS in monetary terms, and provides some of the information needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of health measures that affect GBS.

AB  - The disclosure of nutritional characteristics of most packaged foods became mandatory in the United States with the implementation of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) in 1994. Under the NLEA regulations, a 'Nutrition Facts' panel displays information on nutrients such as calories, total and saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium in a standardized format. By providing nutrition information in a credible, distinctive, and easy-to-read format, the new label was expected to help consumers choose healthier, more nutritious diets. This paper examines whether the disclosure of nutrition information through the mandatory labels impacted consumer diets. Assessing the dietary effects of labeling is problematic due to the confounding of the label effect with unobserved label user characteristics. This self-selection problem is addressed by exploiting the fact that the NLEA exempts away-from-home foods from mandatory labeling. Difference-in-differences models that account for zero away-from-home intakes suggest that the labels increase fiber and iron intakes of label users compared with label nonusers. In comparison, a model that does not account for self-selection implies significant label effects for all but two of the 13 nutrients that are listed on the label.

AB  - Objective: Systemic loss of estradiol (E2) during menopause is associated with increased adiposity which can be prevented with E2 replacement. Rodent studies suggest that E2, or lack of, is a key mediator in menopause-related metabolic changes. We have previously demonstrated that E2 treatment produces a rapid, dose-dependent activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in murine skeletal muscle. Activation of AMPK is implicated in the therapeutic benefits of many insulin sensitizing agents including metformin and thiazolidinediones. Here, we expand our observations and provide novel data which demonstrate that in addition to E2, its metabolite 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-HE2), activate AMPK in C2C12 myotubes.Methods and Procedures: C2C12 myotubes were used to examine the effects on E2 and the by-products of its metabolism on AMPK activation.Results: Low concentrations of E2 (10 and 100 nmol/l) were found to increase AMPK phosphorylation by approximately 1.6-fold, while a higher concentration (10 micromol/l) resulted in a approximately 3.0-fold increase. In comparison to E2 treatment alone, incubation of myotubes with E2 and 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) (a CYP450 inhibitor that blocks metabolism of E2) caused AMPK activation to be enhanced at low E2 concentrations, but attenuated at higher concentrations. The effects of ABT suggested that one or more E2 metabolites contribute to the maximal activation of AMPK at high E2 concentrations. Indeed, the estrogen metabolite 2-HE2, but not 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2), directly activated AMPK in C2C12 myotubes.Discussion: We propose a model where E2, acting through its metabolite 2-HE2 and the estrogen receptors (ERs), activates AMPK in myotubes. Finally, activation is abolished when all E2 is metabolized to 2-ME2.

AB  - PURPOSE: To determine how snacking level impacts intake of nutrients and food groups and assists in meeting recommendations outlined in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid Food Guidance System. METHODS: Dietary data based on 24-hour recall from 4357 adolescents 12-19 years of age participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2004 (NHANES) were analyzed. Regression analyses were applied to examine the effect of snacking on nutrient and food group intake and to determine its effect on the likelihood of meeting MyPyramid recommendations. RESULTS: Food energy, carbohydrate, total sugars, and vitamin C intake were positively associated, whereas protein and fat intake were negatively associated, with snacking frequency. Fruit intake increased, whereas solid fat intake decreased, as snacking incidence rose. Increasing snacking frequency was also associated with a greater likelihood of meeting milk and oil recommendations for boys and meeting fruit recommendations for both genders. Non-Hispanic black adolescents were less likely to meet their milk recommendations at low and high snacking levels and more likely to meet their fruit recommendations at high levels only. Foods consumed as snacks provided 12-39% of the day's total number of portions of the five MyPyramid food groups, 35% of total discretionary calorie intake, and 43% of total added sugar intake. CONCLUSIONS: Snacking frequency affects intake of macronutrients and a few micronutrients and promotes consumption of fruits. Top food choices for snacks provide an excess of discretionary calories in the form of added sugars and fats. Modification of these choices would assist adolescents in consuming diets more consistent with national recommendations.

AB  - Asthma was associated with atherosclerotic disease in several studies, with evidence that this association may be limited to women. However, most previous studies failed to account for the heterogeneity of asthma subtypes. We previously reported increased carotid intima-medial thickness in women with adult-onset asthma. In this study, the association of adult- and child-onset asthma with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke were examined. Subjects were classified according to self-report of physician-diagnosed asthma and age of asthma onset. Cox proportional hazards models were used to test the association of adult- and child-onset asthma with incident CHD and stroke, testing for gender interaction. Subanalysis was also performed using only never smokers. Women with adult-onset asthma experienced a 2-fold increase in incident CHD and stroke that was independent of other risk factors, including smoking, body mass index, and physical activity, and persisted when analysis was restricted to never smokers. No significant association was found in women with child-onset asthma or in men. In conclusion, adult-onset asthma may be a significant risk factor for CHD and stroke in women, but not men.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Lutein and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Lutein is a component of macular pigment. DHA is in the retina. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this 4-mo study was to determine the effects of lutein (12 mg/d) and DHA (800 mg/d) on their serum concentrations and macular pigment optical density (MPOD). DESIGN: Forty-nine women (60-80 y) were randomly assigned to placebo, DHA, lutein, or lutein + DHA supplement. Serum was analyzed for lutein and DHA (0, 2, and 4 mo). MPOD was determined (0 and 4 mo) at 0.4, 1.5, 3, and 5 degrees temporal retinal eccentricities. Serum was analyzed for lipoproteins (4 mo). RESULTS: There was no interaction between lutein and DHA supplementations for serum lutein and MPOD. The lutein supplementation x DHA supplementation x month interaction was significant for serum DHA response (P < 0.05). In the lutein group, serum lutein increased from baseline at 2 and 4 mo (P < 0.001), and MPOD increased at 3.0 degrees (P < 0.01). In the DHA group, serum DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P < 0.0001), and MPOD increased at 0.4 degrees (P < 0.05). In the lutein + DHA group, serum lutein and DHA increased at 2 and 4 mo (P < 0.01), and MPOD increased at 0.4, 1.5, and 3 degrees (P = 0.06, 0.08, and 0.09, respectively). Differences from placebo in lipoprotein subfractions were greatest for the lutein + DHA group (4 mo). CONCLUSIONS: Lutein supplementation increased MPOD eccentrically. DHA resulted in central increases. These results may be due to changes in lipoproteins. Lutein and DHA may aid in prevention of age-related macular degeneration.

AB  - BACKGROUND: No large-scale, population-based study has considered the descriptive epidemiology of vitamin B-6 status with use of plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the indicator of vitamin B-6 adequacy used to set the current Recommended Dietary Allowance, which is < or = 2 mg/d for all subgroups. OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine the epidemiology of vitamin B-6 status in the US population. METHODS: In > 6000 participants aged > or = 1 y in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003-2004), we considered relations between plasma PLP and various subject characteristics and examined trends in plasma PLP and homocysteine with vitamin B-6 intake, both overall and in selected subgroups. RESULTS: In males, plasma PLP decreased with age after adolescence only in nonusers of supplemental vitamin B-6. Regardless of supplement use, plasma PLP concentrations of women of childbearing age were significantly lower than those of comparably aged men, and most oral contraceptive users had plasma PLP < 20 nmol/L. The prevalence of low plasma PLP was significantly > 3% at vitamin B-6 intakes from 2 to 2.9 mg/d in all subgroups and at intakes from 3 to 4.9 mg/d in smokers, the elderly, non-Hispanic blacks, and current and former oral contraceptive users. Intakes from 3 to 4.9 mg/d compared with < 2 mg/d were associated with significant protection from low plasma PLP in most subgroups and from hyperhomocysteinemia in the elderly. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin B-6 intakes of 3 to 4.9 mg/d appear consistent with the definition of a Recommended Dietary Allowance for most Americans. However, at that intake level, substantial proportions of some population subgroups may not meet accepted criteria for adequate vitamin B-6 status. Copyright © 2008 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: An understanding of the relations among dietary zinc intake, bioavailability, and absorption is necessary for making dietary intake recommendations. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess adaptation in human zinc absorption to controlled differences in zinc and phytate intakes and to apply the results to predictive models. DESIGN: In 3 experiments, radiotracers were used to assess zinc absorption by healthy adults (n = 109) from controlled diets, before and after 4 or 8 wk of dietary equilibration. Subjects consumed 4-29 mg Zn/d from 1 of 10 diets, 5 with molar ratios of phytate to zinc from 2 to 7 and 5 with ratios from 15 to 23. RESULTS: Absorptive efficiency was inversely related to dietary zinc from both low- and high-phytate diets. In response to low zinc intakes (<11 mg/d) for 4-8 wk, zinc absorption was up-regulated to as high as 92%, but only if the diets were low in phytate. The results help validate and refine a published saturable transport model that predicts zinc absorption from dietary zinc and phytate. Possible biomarkers of impaired zinc status, including erythrocyte osmotic fragility, in vitro erythrocyte (65)Zn uptake, and leukocyte expression of the zinc transport proteins Zip1 and ZnT1, were unresponsive to dietary zinc content. CONCLUSIONS: Humans absorbed zinc more efficiently from low-zinc diets and adapted to further increase zinc absorption after consuming low-zinc, low-phytate diets for several weeks. Such adaptation did not occur with higher phytate diets. Zinc absorption can be predicted from dietary zinc and phytate after allowing for dietary equilibration.

AB  - Abstract: The symbiotic bradyrhizobia of Aeschynomene indica and the aquatic budding bacterium Blastobacter denitrificans have much in common and this study broadens the characters that are shared between the two. The 23S rRNA gene sequences of the bradyrhizobial isolates were most similar to each other and to the sequence of Bl. denitrificans. Evidence for the presence of photosynthetic genes in the genome of Bl. denitrificans was obtained by PCR using primers to the conserved M subunit (pufM) of the photosynthetic reaction center present in purple sulfur and purple nonsulfur bacteria. The deduced amino acid sequences of the partial PufM protein of Bl. denitrificans and the corresponding sequences obtained from the bradyrhizobial isolates were identical. Both the bradyrhizobial isolates and the type strain of Bl. denitrificans shared the ability to propagate by budding, demonstrated by electron microscopy. Even though many interspecific characters were shared among the bradyrhizobial isolates including Bl. denitrificans, it was evident from Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis that genomic variation existed among the collection that was examined. Variation among bradyrhizobial isolates and Bl. denitrificans also was established in carbon and nitrogen source utilization and the ability to grow at elevated temperature. Based on these results and previously reported evidence it is suggested that the type strain for Bl. denitrificans and the bradyrhizobial isolates from nodules of A. indica belong to a common group of bacteria. Therefore, it is proposed that they be combined into the genus Bradyrhizobium and that LMG 8443 be transferred to this genus as the type strain for B. denitrificans. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - This paper develops a mathematical programming model to reconcile trade statistics subject to a set of global consistency conditions in the presence of an entrepot. Initial data reliability serves a key function for governing the magnitude of adjustment. Through a two-stage optimization procedure, the adjusted trade statistics are achieved as solutions to a system of simultaneous equations that minimize a quadratic penalty function. As an empirical illustration, the model is applied to reconcile the 2004 trade statistics reported by China, Hong Kong and their major trading partners, initialized with detailed estimates of bilateral trade flows, re-export markups, cif/fob ratios and data reliability indexes.

N2  - A needs assessment was conducted for the adaptation of an existing online cooperative extension investment course for use by farm households. The theoretical model was social marketing theory. Data about financial attitudes, practices, and learning preferences of farm households were collected through a telephone survey of 300 farm households and two focus groups. Quantitative and qualitative data confirmed that farmers prefer investing in land and farm-related assets instead of securities. Further, an increasing number of farm family members engaged in paid employment, which provided access to employee benefits. Many farmers did not plan to retire in later life but indicated a desire to scale back their work hours and/or reduce the size of their farm business. Women in the sample were more engaged with the Internet than men and less likely to dislike using computers.

N2  - Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify personal, behavioral, and environmental factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among 10- to 13-year-old low-income black American youth in the lower Mississippi Delta region. Social Cognitive Theory, along with other theoretical constructs, guided focus group questions and analysis. Design: A qualitative study using focus group methodology. Setting: Enrichment program of a sports summer camp for low-income youth. Participants: Forty-two adolescents (21 female, 21 male) participated in 6 focus groups. Main Outcome Measures: Personal, behavioral, and environmental influences on fruit and vegetable consumption. Analysis: Content analysis methods were used by 3 independent reviewers to identify themes within the focus group transcripts. Themes were summarized and then categorized into the 3 domains of Social Cognitive Theory. Results: The major themes were taste, availability, extended family influence, visual proof of the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, and the need for gender-specific behavioral skills. Conclusions and Implications: This formative research will aid in the development of a culturally relevant nutrition intervention for low-income black American adolescents in the lower Mississippi Delta region. The results indicate that this group is more likely to respond to interventions that use role models who can provide proof that fruit and vegetable consumption is related to improved health.

AB  - Lanthanum strontium manganite (La0.8Sr0.2MnO3, LSM) nanofibers have been synthesized by the electrospinning method. The electrospun nanofibers are intact without morphological and structural changes after annealing at 1050 °C. The LSM nanofibers are employed as the sensing electrode of an electrochemical sensor with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte for carbon monoxide detection at high temperatures over 500 °C. The electrospun nanofibers form a porous network electrode, which provides a continuous pathway for charge transport. In addition, the nanofibers possess a higher specific surface area than conventional micron-sized powders. As a result, the nanofiber electrode exhibits a higher electromotive force and better electro-catalytic activity toward CO oxidation. Therefore, the sensor with the nanofiber electrode shows a higher sensitivity, lower limit of detection and faster response to CO than a sensor with a powder electrode. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The United States Green Building Council's LEED® Rating System has become the benchmark for sustainable design. Its widespread acceptance and adoption as a regulatory and programmatic requirement in local, state and federal developments focuses attention on the importance of green design. But, it also generates questions as to how to measure such certifications. The new LEED-ND standard is a move in this direction. Finally, as the LEED system is becoming a requirement of governments, the careful use of LEED certification in the marketing of projects seeking or receiving LEED certification must be assured.

N2  - A vanguard of insurers is adapting its business model to the realities of climate change. In many ways, insurers are still catching up both to mainstream science and to their customers, which, in response to climate change and energy volatility, are increasingly changing the way they construct buildings, transport people and goods, design products and produce energy. Customers, as well as regulators and shareholders, are eager to see insurers provide more products and services that respond to the "greening" of the global economy, expand their efforts to improve disaster resilience and otherwise be proactive about the climate change threat. Insurers are increasingly recognising the issue as one of "enterprise risk management" (ERM), one cutting across the domains of underwriting, asset management and corporate governance. Their responses are becoming correspondingly sophisticated. Based on a review of more than 300 source documents, plus a direct survey of insurance companies, we have identified 643 specific activities from 244 insurance entities from 29 countries, representing a 50 per cent year-over-year increase in activity. These entities collectively represent $1.2 trillion in annual premiums and $13 trillion in assets, while employing 2.2 million people. In addition to activities on the part of 189 insurers, eight reinsurers, 20 intermediaries and 27 insurance organisations, we identified 34 non-insurance entities that have collaborated in these efforts. Challenges and opportunities include bringing promising products and services to scale, continuing to identify and fill market and coverage gaps and identifying and confirming the veracity of green improvements. There is also need for convergence between sustainability and disaster resilience, greater engagement by insurers in adaptation to unavoidable climate changes and to clarify the role that regulators will play in moving the market. It has not yet been demonstrated how some insurance lines might respond to climate change and a number of market segments have not yet been served with a single green insurance product or service. As insurer activities obtain more prominence, they also will be subject to more scrutiny and expectations that they are not simply greenwashing.

AB  - A simple method for the determination of volatile selenium compounds employing a gas chromatograph equipped with a photoionization detector is described. The method involves the direct injection of dimethylselenide (DMS) or dimethyldiselenide (DMDS) into the gas chromatograph; no derivatization of the sample was required. The photoionization detector was capable of detecting 60 pg (0.55 pmol) of DMS and 150 pg (0.80 pmol) DMDS. Sensitivity was 10–50 times greater with DMS and 4–20 times greater with DMDS when the photoionization detector was employed than when the flame ionization detector was employed.

AB  - Silver-ion HPLC (Ag-HPLC) has been utilized to separate a variety of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by configuration, location or number of olefinic or acetylenic bonds. Two analytical Ag-HPLC columns connected in series and an isocratic solvent system of acetonitrile (ACN) in hexane were used to fractionate 10–15 mg samples of a mixture of two deuterium-labeled isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (Z9,E11- and Z9,Z11-octadecadienoic acid-17,17,18,18-d4). “Baseline” (>95%) resolution of the two isomers, which decreased with increasing weights of sample injected, was maintained by careful adjustment of the percentage of ACN in the ACN/hexane solvent system. Chemical purities of the isolated FAME were >96%. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article focuses on a new disease of apple that has been found in the Kaisiadorys region of Lithuania. Symptoms include leaf yellowing, shoot proliferation, and a previously undescribed symptom sessile leaf, in which golden leaves are directly attached to the trunk. Phytoplasma infection was confirmed by amplification of 1-8 kbp rDNA fragments from all trees with symptoms, but from no trees without symptoms. The first report of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris' infecting apple in Lithuania has considerable significance for fruit production, as apple is widely cultivated throughout Europe.

AB  - Magnetization measurements for La1.45Nd0.40Sr0.15CuO4 single crystal have been performed in order to investigate the effects of spin–charge ordering on pinning and scaling behavior of Jc and <f>Pf</f>. Despite the large differences in the irreversible fields along the ab-plane and the c-axis, the obtained values of <f>Hc</f> (hence the free energy) are basically similar. The maximum pinning forces obtained from the irreversible magnetization along c and in the ab-plane were found to scale with <f>(Hc)β</f> for both crystallographic directions.

AB  - Objectives. We investigated the health and safety effects of urban green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) installments. Methods. We conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of the effects of GSI installments on health (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol and stress levels) and safety (e.g., felonies, nuisance and property crimes, narcotics crimes) outcomes from 2000 to 2012 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We used mixed-effects regression models to compare differences in pre- and post-treatment measures of outcomes for treatment sites (n = 52) and randomly chosen, matched control sites (n = 186) within multiple geographic extents surrounding GSI sites. Results. Regression-adjusted models showed consistent and statistically significant reductions in narcotics possession (18%–27% less) within 16th-mile, quarter-mile, half-mile (P < .001), and eighth-mile (P < .01) distances from treatment sites and at the census tract level (P < .01). Narcotics manufacture and burglaries were also significantly reduced at multiple scales. Non-significant reductions in homicides, assaults, thefts, public drunkenness, and narcotics sales were associated with GSI installation in at least 1 geographic extent. Conclusions. Health and safety considerations should be included in future assessments of GSI programs. Subsequent studies should assess mechanisms of this association. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: Similar to parks, college campuses may promote physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity of adults at urban campuses and parks.Participants: Participants were individuals observed on campuses and parks in April 2011.Methods: The System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities was used to assess physical activity at 3 campuses and parks, 3 times/day, for 4 days.Results: Greater proportions of individuals (parks, campuses) were observed in vigorous (28.7%, 11.9%) and sedentary (25%, 18.3%) activities at parks than campuses and a greater proportion observed in walking (69.8%, 46.3%) intensity on campuses than parks. More men than women were observed at both parks and campuses, and paths and sport courts were most frequently used for physical activity.Conclusions: Physical activity intensities differ across college campuses and parks that provided similar physical activity amenities. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness of outdoor campus amenities that promote physical activity and understanding the outdoor amenities that of promote physical activity of women.

AB  - Background: A national health objective is to reduce average U.S. sodium intake to 2,300 mg daily to help prevent high blood pressure, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Identifying common contributors to sodium intake among children can help reduction efforts. Methods: Average sodium intake, sodium consumed per calorie, and proportions of sodium from food categories, place obtained, and eating occasion were estimated among 2,266 school-aged (6-18 years) participants in What We Eat in America, the dietary intake component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010. Results: U.S. school-aged children consumed an estimated 3,279 mg of sodium daily with the highest total intake (3,672 mg/d) and intake per 1,000 kcal (1,681 mg) among high school-aged children. Forty-three percent of sodium came from 10 food categories: pizza, bread and rolls, cold cuts/cured meats, savory snacks, sandwiches, cheese, chicken patties/nuggets/tenders, pasta mixed dishes, Mexican mixed dishes, and soups. Sixty-five percent of sodium intake came from store foods, 13% from fast food/pizza restaurants, 5% from other restaurants, and 9% from school cafeteria foods. Among children aged 14-18 years, 16% of total sodium intake came from fast food/pizza restaurants versus 11% among those aged 6-10 years or 11-13 years (p<0.05). Among children who consumed a school meal on the day assessed, 26% of sodium intake came from school cafeteria foods. Thirty-nine percent of sodium was consumed at dinner, followed by lunch (29%), snacks (16%), and breakfast (15%). Implications for Public Health Practice: Sodium intake among school-aged children is much higher than recommended. Multiple food categories, venues, meals, and snacks contribute to sodium intake among school-aged children supporting the importance of populationwide strategies to reduce sodium intake. New national nutrition standards are projected to reduce the sodium content of school meals by approximately 25%-50% by 2022. Based on this analysis, if there is no replacement from other sources, sodium intake among U.S. school-aged children will be reduced by an average of about 75-150 mg per day and about 220-440 mg on days children consume school meals.

AB  - Background: Eating more fruits and vegetables adds underconsumed nutrients to diets, reduces the risks for leading causes of illness and death, and helps manage body weight. This report describes trends in the contributions of fruits and vegetables to the diets of children aged 2-18 years. Methods: CDC analyzed 1 day of 24-hour dietary recalls from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2003 to 2010 to estimate trends in children's fruit and vegetable intake in cup-equivalents per 1,000 calories (CEPC) and trends by sex, age, race/ethnicity, family income to poverty ratio, and obesity status. Total fruit includes whole fruit (all fruit excluding juice) and fruit juice (from 100% juice, foods, and other beverages). Total vegetables include those encouraged in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 (i.e., dark green, orange, and red vegetables and legumes), white potatoes, and all other vegetables. Results: Total fruit intake among children increased from 0.55 CEPC in 2003-2004 to 0.62 in 2009-2010 because of significant increases in whole fruit intake (0.24 to 0.40 CEPC). Over this period, fruit juice intake significantly decreased (0.31 to 0.22 CEPC). Total vegetable intake did not change (0.54 to 0.53 CEPC). No socio-demographic group met the Healthy People 2020 target of 1.1 CEPC vegetables, and only children aged 2-5 years met the target of 0.9 CEPC fruits. Conclusions: Children's total fruit intake increased because of increases in whole fruit consumption, but total vegetable intake remained unchanged. Implications for Public Health Practice: Increased attention to the policies and food environments in multiple settings, including schools, early care and education, and homes might help continue the progress in fruit intake and improve vegetable intake.

AB  - Mormon crickets and juvenile locusts form huge migratory bands-millions of individuals march in unison across the landscape and devastate vast agricultural areas, but little is known about why these bands form. Here we use radiotelemetry to show that band membership benefits these insects by greatly reducing the probability that they will become victims of predators. It is likely that migratory banding has evolved because it gives substantial protection to individuals within the group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses various studies on the application of sequencing methods in plant genetics. One of the studies described the creation and application of a haplotype map for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in rice. The other studies utilized short sequencing reads to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in soybean and maize. The authors argue that sequencing technology could led to crop improvement.

AB  - The article reports that high grazing intensity increasse the emissions of nitrous oxide, referring an article published within this issue. It informs that grazing increases the rate of nitrogen cycling, and faster cycling leads to higher nitrogen losses from the soil-plant-animal system. It is stated that grazing reduces vegetation and snow cover which leads to less soil water being supplied by the melting snow. It is reported that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural activities. Since nitrous oxide is a major green house gas, scientists are trying to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by increasing grazing intensity.

N2  - Objective: To characterize pregnant women's food safety practices, to evaluate the impact of existing educational messages on the risks and prevention of listeriosis, and to identify preferred delivery methods for educational initiatives. Design: Eight focus group discussions conducted with pregnant women in 4 locations. Setting: Focus group discussions led by moderators using a prepared moderator guide. Participants: Purposeful sampling was used to select the 63 pregnant women who participated in riffs study. The focus groups were segmented by location and education level. Phenomenon of Interest: Food safety knowledge and food-handling practices, food safety, practices during pregnancy, attitudes toward listeriosis brochure, and preferred delivery methods. Analysis: Focus group discussions were videotaped and audiorecorded. Detailed summaries of each discussion were prepared and systematically analyzed to identify common themes within and across groups. Results: Participants were not aware of the risks of listeriosis and recommended practices for listeriosis prevention; thus, they were not taking precautions during their pregnancy to prevent listeriosis. Conclusions and Implications: The study identified the need to develop educational materials on listeriosis targeted specifically to pregnant women and to partner with obstetricians and other health care providers to deliver these materials to pregnant women.

AB  - Summary Expressed sequence tags (EST)-based microarrays are powerful tools for gene discovery and signal transduction studies in a small number of well-characterized species. To explore the usefulness of this technique for poorly characterized species, we have hybridized the 11 522-element Arabidopsis microarrays with labeled cDNAs from mature leaf and shoot apices from several different species. Expression of 23 to 47% of the genes on the array was detected, demonstrating that a large number of genes from distantly related species can be surveyed on Arabidopsis arrays. Differential expression of genes with known functions was indicative of the physiological state of the tissues tested. Genes involved in cell division, stress responses, and development were conserved and expressed preferentially in growing shoots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Cytosolic pyruvate kinase (ATP:pyruvate 2-O -phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) is an important glycolytic enzyme, but the post-translational regulation of this enzyme is poorly understood. Sequence analysis of the soybean seed enzyme suggested the potential for two phosphorylation sites: site-1 (FVRKGS220 DLVN) and site-2 (VLTRGGS407 TAKL). Sequence- and phosphorylation state-specific antipeptide antibodies established that cytosolic pyruvate kinase (PyrKinc ) is phosphorylated at both sites in vivo . However, by SDS–PAGE, the phosphorylated polypeptides were found to be smaller (20–51 kDa) than the full length (55 kDa). Biochemical separations of seed proteins by size exclusion chromatography and sucrose-density gradient centrifugation revealed that the phosphorylated polypeptides were associated with 26S proteasomes. The 26S proteasome particle in developing seeds was determined to be of approximately 1900 kDa. In vitro , the 26S proteasome degraded associated PyrKinc polypeptides, and this was blocked by proteasome-specific inhibitors such as MG132 and NLVS. By immunoprecipitation, we found that some part of the phosphorylated PyrKinc was conjugated to ubiquitin and shifted to high molecular mass forms in vivo . Moreover, recombinant wild-type PyrKinc was ubiquitinated in vitro to a much greater extent than the S220A and S407A mutant proteins, suggesting a link between phosphorylation and ubiquitination. In addition, during seed development, a progressive accumulation of a C-terminally truncated polypeptide of approximately 51 kDa was observed that was in parallel with a loss of the full-length 55 kDa polypeptide. Interestingly, the C-terminal 51 kDa truncation showed not only pyruvate kinase activity but also activation by aspartate. Collectively, the results suggest that there are two pathways for PyrKinc modification at the post-translational level.... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Legumes acquire significant amounts of nitrogen for growth from symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The glutamine synthetase (GS)/NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT) cycle catalyzes initial nitrogen assimilation. This report describes the impact of specifically reducing nodule NADH-GOGAT activity on symbiotic performance of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Four independent transgenic alfalfa lines, designated GA89, GA87, GA88, and GA82 (for G OGAT a ntisense), containing an antisense NADH-GOGAT cDNA fragment under the control of the soybean leghemoglobin (lbc3 ) promoter were evaluated. The GA plants were fertile and showed normal growth in non-symbiotic conditions. The NADH-GOGAT antisense transgene was heritable and the T1 plants showed phenotypic alterations – similar to primary transformants. Clonally propagated plants were inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti after rooting and the symbiotic phenotype was analyzed 21 days post-inoculation. Nodules of each GA line had reduced NADH-GOGAT activity, ranging from 33 to 87% of control plants, that was accompanied by comparable decreases in RNA and protein. Plants from the GA89 line, with the lowest NADH-GOGAT activity (c. 30%), presented a strikingly altered symbiotic phenotype: concomitantly activities of key enzyme for carbon and nitrogen assimilation decreased; nodule amino acids and amides were reduced while sucrose accumulated. Antisense GOGAT plants were chlorotic, reduced in fresh weight, and had a lower N content than control plants. Photosynthesis was also impaired in antisense plants. Specifically, reducing NADH-GOGAT in nodules resulted in plants having impaired nitrogen assimilation and altered carbon/nitrogen metabolic flux. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract Five population-specific response functions were developed from quadratic models for 110 populations of Pinus sylvestris growing at 47 planting sites in Eurasia and North America. The functions predict 13 year height from climate: degree-days > 5 °C; mean annual temperature; degree-days < 0 °C; summer-winter temperature differential; and a moisture index, the ratio of degree-days > 5 °C to mean annual precipitation. Validation of the response functions with two sets of independent data produced for all functions statistically significant simple correlations with coefficients as high as 0.81 between actual and predicted heights. The response functions described the widely different growth potentials typical of natural populations and demonstrated that these growth potentials have different climatic optima. Populations nonetheless tend to inhabit climates colder than their optima, with the disparity between the optimal and inhabited climates becoming greater as the climate becomes more severe. When driven by a global warming scenario of the Hadley Center, the functions described short-term physiologic and long-term evolutionary effects that were geographically complex. The short-term effects should be negative in the warmest climates but strongly positive in the coldest. Long-term effects eventually should ameliorate the negative short-term impacts, enhance the positive, and in time, substantially increase productivity throughout most of the contemporary pine forests of Eurasia. Realizing the long-term gains will require redistribution of genotypes across the landscape, a process that should take up to 13 generations and therefore many years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Several perilipin (PLIN) polymorphic sites have been studied for their potential use as markers for obesity and the metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine whether the presence of polymorphisms at the perilipin (PLIN) locus (PLIN1, 6209T-->C; PLIN4, 11482G-->A; PLIN5, 13041A-->G; and PLIN6, 14995A-->T) influence postprandial lipoprotein metabolism in 2 white populations. DESIGN: Eighty-eight healthy Spanish men and 271 healthy US subjects (men and women) underwent an oral-fat-load test in 2 independent studies. Blood samples were taken in the fasting state and during the postprandial phase at regular intervals. Total cholesterol and triacylglycerol and triacylglycerol in triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRL, large and small) were measured. RESULTS: Carriers of the minor C allele at the PLIN1 variant displayed lower postprandial concentrations of large-TRL triacylglycerol (Spanish subjects: P = 0.024; US subjects: P = 0.005) than did subjects carrying the T/T genotype. The same pattern was observed in the Spanish population at the PLIN4 locus (P = 0.015), and both SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium. In both populations, subjects carrying the minor C and A alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4, respectively, had significantly lower postprandial concentrations of plasma triacylglycerol (P < 0.05) and lower concentrations of small-TRL triacylglycerol than did those who were homozygous for the major alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4 (Spanish subjects: P = 0.020 and 0.008, respectively; US subjects: P = 0.021 and 0.035, respectively). CONCLUSION: These 2 studies suggest that the presence of the minor C and A alleles at PLIN1 and PLIN4, respectively, are associated with a lower postprandial response that may result in lower atherogenic risk for these persons.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Maintaining muscle mass while aging is important to prevent falls and fractures. Metabolic acidosis promotes muscle wasting, and the net acid load from diets that are rich in net acid-producing protein and cereal grains relative to their content of net alkali-producing fruit and vegetables may therefore contribute to a reduction in lean tissue mass in older adults. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine whether there was an association of 24-h urinary potassium and an index of fruit and vegetable content of the diet with the percentage lean body mass (%LBM) or change in %LBM in older subjects. DESIGN: Subjects were 384 men and women >/=65 y old who participated in a 3-y trial comparing calcium and vitamin D with placebo. Potassium was measured in 24-h urine collections at baseline. The %LBM, defined as total body nonfat, nonbone tissue weight / weight x 100, was measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and at 3 y. Physical activity, height, and weight were assessed at baseline and at 3 y. RESULTS: At baseline, the mean urinary potassium excretion was 67.0 +/- 21.1 mmol/d. Urinary potassium (mmol/d) was significantly positively associated with %LBM at baseline (beta = 0.033, P = 0.006; adjusted for sex, weight, and nitrogen excretion) but not with 3-y change in %LBM. Over the 3-y study, %LBM increased by 2.6 +/- 3.6%. CONCLUSION: Higher intake of foods rich in potassium, such as fruit and vegetables, may favor the preservation of muscle mass in older men and women. Copyright © 2008 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Mineral metabolism may be altered in children with acute or chronic illnesses. The effects may be short term, such as hypomagnesemia associated with chemotherapy, or long-term, such as loss of bone mineral mass after steroid use. Understanding the causes, consequences, and potential therapies for mineral disorders is enhanced by understanding the absorption, body utilization, and turnover of these minerals. These assessments can now be done safely and readily using non-radioactive, stable isotopes which are available for calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron. The methods for measurement of mineral absorption and kinetics (turnover) are well established, especially for calcium, and have been tested in every age group. Few studies, however, have been performed in children with acute or chronic illnesses such as cancer. Isotope dosing and infusion protocols are minimally invasive and protocols require small blood or urine volumes. Mineral absorption can be assessed without collecting fecal samples. Kinetics are assessed with blood and urine collections, usually over 5-10 days. Increased use of these techniques may be important in medical and nutritional assessment as well as in the management of pediatric oncology patients.

N2  - Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) proteins interact functionally to regulate lipid metabolism, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for each gene have also been associated independently with obesity risk. Evaluating gene combinations may be more effective than single SNP analyses in identifying genetic risk, but insufficient minor allele frequency (MAF) often limits evaluations of potential epistatic relationships. Populations with multiple ancestral admixtures may provide unique opportunities for evaluating genetic interactions. We examined relationships between LPL m107 (rs1800590) and APOA5 S19W (rs3135506) and lipid and anthropometric measures in Caribbean origin Hispanics (n = 1,019, aged 45–75 years) living in the Boston metropolitan area. Significant interaction terms between LPL m107 and APOA5 S19W were observed for BMI (P = 0.003) and waist circumference (P = 0.019). Higher BMI (P = 0.001), waist (P = 0.011) and hip (P = 0.026) circumference were observed in minor allele (G) carriers for LPL m107 who also carried the APOA5 S19W minor allele (G). Additionally, extreme obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) risk was higher (odds ratio = 4.02; 95% confidence interval: 1.81–8.91; global P = 0.008) for minor allele carriers for both SNPs (LPL TG+GG, APOA5 CG+GG) compared to major allele carriers for both SNPs. In summary, we identified significant interactions for APOA5 S19W and LPL m107 for obesity in Caribbean Hispanics. Population-specific MAFs increase the difficulties of replicating gene–gene interactions, but may support the hypothesis that combinations of frequencies in selected genes could heighten obesity susceptibility in a given population. Analyses of gene–gene interactions may improve understanding of genetically based obesity risk, and underscore the need for further study of groups with multiple ancestral admixtures.

AB  - Summary Five legume seeds (kidney beans, green peas, black beans, lentil and pinto beans) were heated by infrared to a surface temperature of 140 °C. The changes in chemical composition, physical, mechanical and functional properties of the processed seeds were measured and compared to those of the raw seeds. Significant changes in the properties of the seeds in terms of increased volume, lower rupture point and toughness, higher water uptake and higher leaching losses (when the seeds were soaked in water) were obtained. The changes in the physical and mechanical properties were attributed to possible cracking of the seed. Even though trypsin inhibitor activity was reduced, infrared heating did not significantly affect the starch and protein components of the seeds. The functional characteristics of flour from the infrared-heated seeds were superior to those of flour from untreated seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Portion size influences children's energy intakes at meals, but effects on daily intake are unknown. OBJECTIVE: Effects of large portions on daily energy intake were tested in 5-y-old Hispanic and African American children from low-income families. Maternal food intake data were collected to evaluate familial susceptibility to portion size. DESIGN: A within-subjects experimental design with reference and large portion sizes was used in a study of 59 low-income Hispanic and African American preschool-aged children and their mothers. The portion size of 3 entrées (lunch, dinner, and breakfast) and an afternoon snack served during a 24-h period were of a reference size in one condition and doubled in the other condition. Portion sizes of other foods and beverages did not vary across conditions. Weighed food intake, anthropometric measures, and self-reported data were obtained. RESULTS: Doubling the portion size of several entrées and a snack served during a 24-h period increased energy intake from those foods by 23% (180 kcal) among children (P < 0.0001) and by 21% (270 kcal) among mothers (P < 0.0001). Child and maternal energy intakes from other foods for which portion size was not altered did not differ across conditions. Consequently, total energy intakes in the large-portion condition were 12% (P < 0.001) and 6% (P < 0.01) higher in children and mothers, respectively, than in the reference condition. Child and maternal intakes of the portion-manipulated foods were not correlated. CONCLUSIONS: Large portions may contribute to obesigenic dietary environments by promoting excess daily intakes among Hispanic and African American children.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional studies indicate that diets that provide a higher dietary glycemic index (dGI) are associated with a greater risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). No prospective studies have addressed this issue. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to prospectively evaluate the effect of baseline dGI on the progression of AMD. DESIGN: dGI was calculated as the weighted average of GIs from foods and was evaluated as being above or below the sex median (women: 77.9; men: 79.3) for 3977 participants aged 55-80 y (58% women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study. The 7232 eligible eyes without advanced AMD were classified into 1 of 3 AMD categories: group 1 (nonextensive small drusen), group 2 (intermediate drusen, extensive small drusen, or pigmentary abnormalities), or group 3 (large drusen or extensive intermediate drusen). With the use of multifailure Cox proportional-hazards regression, we modeled the time to the maximal progression to evaluate the relation between dGI and the risk of AMD. RESULTS: Overall, the multivariate-adjusted risk of progression over 8 y of follow-up (: 5.4 y) was significantly higher (risk ratio: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.20; P = 0.047) in the high-dGI group than in the low-dGI group. The risk of progression for groups 1, 2, and 3 eyes was 5%, 8%, and 17% greater, respectively (P for trend < 0.001). The latter gives an estimate that 7.8% of new advanced AMD cases would be prevented in 5 y if people consumed the low-dGI diet. CONCLUSION: Persons at risk of AMD progression, especially those at high risk of advanced AMD, may benefit from consuming a smaller amount of refined carbohydrates.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Index (DGAI) was created to assess adherence to the dietary recommendations of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) in relation to chronic disease risk. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to assess the relation between dietary patterns consistent with the 2005 DGA as measured by the DGAI and both the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and individual MetS risk factors. DESIGN: DGAI scores and metabolic risk factors for MetS were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 3177 participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. MetS was defined on the basis of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. RESULTS: After adjustment for potential confounders, the DGAI score was inversely related to waist circumference (P for trend < 0.001), triacylglycerol concentration (P for trend = 0.005), both diastolic (P for trend = 0.002) and systolic (P for trend = 0.01) blood pressure, the prevalence of abdominal adiposity (P for trend < 0.001), and hyperglycemia (P for trend = 0.03). The prevalence of MetS was significantly lower in individuals in the highest DGAI quintile category than in those in the lowest category (odds ratio: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.88; P for trend = 0.005) when those being treated for any of the risk factors were excluded. There was a significant interaction between DGAI score and age; the association between the DGAI score and MetS was confined largely to adults younger than 55 y (odds ratio: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.92; P for trend < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: A dietary pattern consistent with the 2005 DGA was associated with a lower prevalence of MetS-a potential risk factor for CVD. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Zinc plays an important role in immune function. The association between serum zinc and pneumonia in the elderly has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine whether serum zinc concentrations in nursing home elderly are associated with the incidence and duration of pneumonia, total and duration of antibiotic use, and pneumonia-associated and all-cause mortality. DESIGN: This observational study was conducted in residents from 33 nursing homes in Boston, MA, who participated in a 1-y randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled vitamin E supplementation trial; all were given daily doses of 50% of the recommended dietary allowance of essential vitamins and minerals, including zinc. Participants with baseline (n = 578) or final (n = 420) serum zinc concentrations were categorized as having low (<70 mug/dL) or normal (>/=70 mug/dL) serum zinc concentrations. Outcome measures included the incidence and number of days with pneumonia, number of new antibiotic prescriptions, days of antibiotic use, death due to pneumonia, and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Compared with subjects with low zinc concentrations, subjects with normal final serum zinc concentrations had a lower incidence of pneumonia, fewer (by almost 50%) new antibiotic prescriptions, a shorter duration of pneumonia, and fewer days of antibiotic use (3.9 d compared with 2.6 d) (P </= 0.004 for all). Normal baseline serum zinc concentrations were associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality (P = 0.049). CONCLUSION: Normal serum zinc concentrations in nursing home elderly are associated with a decreased incidence and duration of pneumonia, a decreased number of new antibiotic prescriptions, and a decrease in the days of antibiotic use. Zinc supplementation to maintain normal serum zinc concentrations in the elderly may help reduce the incidence of pneumonia and associated morbidity. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Low intakes of calcium are associated with an increased risk of both osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: To provide new estimates of the average calcium requirement for men and women, we determined the dietary calcium intake required to maintain neutral calcium balance. DESIGN: Calcium balance data [calcium intake -(fecal calcium + urinary calcium)] were collected from 155 subjects [women: n = 73; weight: 77.1 +/- 18.5 kg; age: 47.0 +/- 18.5 y (range: 20-75 y); men: n = 82; weight: 76.6 +/- 12.5 kg; age: 28.2 +/- 7.7 y (range: 19-64 y)] who participated in 19 feeding studies conducted in a metabolic unit. Balance data from the final 6-12 d of each dietary period (minimum length:18 d) of each study (1-9 observations per subject) were analyzed. Data were excluded if individual intakes of magnesium, copper, iron, phosphorus, or zinc fell below the estimated average requirements or exceeded the 99th percentile of usual intakes from the 1994 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (for iron, above the upper limit). Daily intakes of calcium ranged between 415 and 1740 mg. The relation between intake and output was examined by fitting random coefficient models. Coefficients were included to test for sex and age differences. RESULTS: The models predicted a neutral calcium balance [defined as calcium output (Y) equal to calcium intake (C)] at intakes of 741 mg/d [95% prediction interval (PI): 507, 1035; Y = 148.29 + 0.80C], 9.4 mg.kg body wt(-1).d(-1) [95% PI: 6.4, 12.9; Y = 1.44 + 0.85C], or 0.28 mg.kcal(-1).d(-1) [95% PI: 0.19, 0.38; Y = 0.051 + 0.816C]. Neither age nor sex affected the estimates when calcium intakes were expressed as mg/d or as mg.kg body wt(-1).d(-1). CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the calcium requirement for men and women is lower than previously estimated. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) is a region at high risk of nutritionally related diseases. Assessing LMD diet quality is important in policy making, monitoring service outcomes, and designing sustainable research interventions. OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to assess the diet quality of LMD adults by using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to 1) identify potential and needed interventions, 2) determine population subgroups needing special attention, and 3) compare regional intakes with national intakes. DESIGN: Data were obtained from a representative cross-sectional telephone survey (n = 1699), Foods of our Delta Study 2000, by using the US Department of Agriculture's multiple-pass 24-h recall methodology and random-digital-assisted dialing with selection of one adult per household. The diet quality of LMD adults was compared with that of white and African American adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999-2000. RESULTS: Age, race, and income of LMD adults affected overall diet quality. African Americans had lower grain, vegetable, milk, and variety scores than did whites. The consumption of grains and vegetables was associated with lower odds ratios for being overweight. The LMD adults had a lower HEI score than did the adults in NHANES 1999-2000 (60.1 compared with 63.4), and more LMD adults ate a poor diet (24.8% compared with 18.3%). CONCLUSION: Low-income and young-adult households in the LMD are in need of nutrition interventions with an emphasis on increasing grain, fruit, and vegetable intakes. Because socioeconomic factors affect diet quality, a multimodal, longitudinal approach appears needed to improve nutritional health. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Poor diet may affect bone status by displacing nutrients involved in bone health. Dihydrophylloquinone, a form of vitamin K present in foods made with partially hydrogenated fat, is a potential marker of a low-quality dietary pattern. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine the cross-sectional associations between dihydrophylloquinone intake and bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine in men and women. DESIGN: Dihydrophylloquinone intake was estimated with a food-frequency questionnaire, and BMD (in g/cm(2)) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2544 men and women (mean age: 58.5 y) who had participated in the Framingham Offspring Study. General linear models were used to examine the associations between dihydrophylloquinone intake (in tertiles: <15.5, 15.5-29.5, and >29.5 mug/d) and hip and spine BMD after adjustment for age, body mass index, energy intake, calcium intake, vitamin D intake, smoking status, physical activity score, and, for women, menopause status and estrogen use. RESULTS: Higher dihydrophylloquinone intakes were associated with lower mean BMD at the femoral neck [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 0.934 (0.925, 0.942), 0.927 (0.919, 0.935), and 0.917 (0.908, 0.926), P for trend = 0.02], the trochanter [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 0.811 (0.802, 0.820), 0.805 (0.797, 0.813), and 0.795 (0.786, 0.804), P for trend = 0.02], and the spine [lowest-to-highest tertiles (95% CI): 1.250 (1.236, 1.264), 1.243 (1.242, 1.229), and 1.227 (1.213, 1.242), P for trend = 0.03] in men and women after adjustment for the covariates. Further adjustment for markers of healthy and low-quality dietary patterns did not affect the observed associations. CONCLUSIONS: Higher dihydrophylloquinone intakes are associated with lower BMD in men and women. This association remains significant after adjustment for other markers of diet quality.

AB  - BACKGROUND: An in vitro digestion and Caco-2 cell model may predict iron bioavailability to humans; however, direct comparisons are lacking. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to test the differences in iron bioavailability between 2 maize varieties and 2 bean varieties (white beans and colored beans) by comparing human, Caco-2, and algorithm results. DESIGN: Two randomized, 2 x 2 factorial experiments compared women's iron absorption from 2 maize varieties (ACR and TZB; n = 26) and 2 bean varieties (great northern and pinto; n = 13), each fed with and without ascorbic acid (AA) from orange juice. Nonheme iron bioavailability was determined from 2-wk retention of extrinsic radioiron tracers and was compared with Caco-2 cell and algorithm results from identical meals. RESULTS: Without AA supplementation, women absorbed only about 2% of the iron from the maize or bean meals. The results were unaffected by the variety of either maize or beans. Adding AA (15-20 molar ratios of AA:iron) roughly tripled the iron absorption (P < 0.0001) from all test meals. Although the Caco-2 model predicted a slightly improved bioavailability of iron from ACR maize than from TZB maize (P < 0.05), it accurately predicted relative iron absorption from the maize meals. However, the Caco-2 model inaccurately predicted both a considerable difference between bean varieties (P < 0.0001) and a strong interaction between bean varieties and enhancement by AA (P < 0.0001). The algorithm method was more qualitatively than quantitatively useful and requires further development to accurately predict the influence of polyphenols on iron absorption. CONCLUSIONS: Caco-2 predictions confirmed human iron absorption results for maize meals but not for bean meals, and algorithm predictions were only qualitatively predictive.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the mean size and concentrations of VLDL, LDL, and HDL subclasses have not been previously studied. OBJECTIVE: We determined the effects of DHA supplementation on the concentrations of apoproteins; large, medium, and small VLDL, LDL, and HDL particles; and the mean diameters of these particles in fasting and postprandial plasma. DESIGN: Hypertriglyceridemic men aged 39-66 y (n = 34) participated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel study. They received no supplements for the first 8 d and received either 7.5 g DHA oil/d (3 g DHA/d) or olive oil (placebo) for the last 90 d. Lipoprotein particle diameters and concentrations were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS: DHA supplementation for 45 d significantly (P < 0.05) decreased concentrations of fasting triacylglycerol (24%), large VLDL (92%), and intermediate-density lipoproteins (53%) and the mean diameter of VLDL particles (11.1 nm). It elevated concentrations of LDL cholesterol (12.6%), small VLDL particles (133%), and large LDL particles (120%) and the mean diameter of LDL particles (0.6 nm) in fasting plasma. Similar changes were observed for area under the curve for postprandial samples (0-6 h); however, the number of small dense LDL particles decreased significantly (21%), and the change in LDL cholesterol was not significant. Continued supplementation with DHA beyond 45 d caused no further changes; placebo treatment altered none of the responses tested. CONCLUSION: DHA supplementation may improve cardiovascular health by lowering concentrations of triacylglycerols and small, dense LDL particles. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the major cause of irreversible blindness. AMD appears to share several carbohydrate-related mechanisms and risk factors with diabetes-related diseases, including retinopathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, to date, only one small study has addressed this issue. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to test the hypothesis that dietary glycemic index (dGI), which has been related to the risk of diabetes and CVD, is associated with the risk and severity of AMD in nondiabetic elderly populations. DESIGN: Dietary information was obtained from 4099 participants aged 55-80 y (56% women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). A total of 8125 eligible eyes at baseline were classified into 1 of 5 AMD groups according to the size and extent of drusen, the presence of geographic atrophy, and neovascular changes. We used a generalized estimating approach to evaluate the relations between dGI and risk and severity of AMD with eyes as the unit of analysis. RESULTS: Compared with eyes in the first quintile of dGI, eyes in the fourth and fifth quintiles had a significantly or suggestively higher risk of large drusen, geographic atrophy, and neovascularization. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for the highest quintile were 1.42 (1.09, 1.84), 1.78 (0.81, 3.90), and 1.41 (0.95, 2.08), respectively, of which only the odds ratio for large drusen was significant. A significant positive relation between dGI and severity of AMD was also noted (P for trend < 0.001). There was a 49% increase in the risk of advanced AMD (geographic atrophy plus neovascularization) for persons with a dGI higher than the sex median (women: >or=77.9; men: >or=79.3). This result indicated that 20% of prevalent cases of AMD would have been eliminated if the AREDS participants consumed diets with a dGI below the median. CONCLUSION: The association between dGI and AMD from the AREDS cross-sectional analysis at baseline suggests that a reduction in the dGI, a modifiable risk factor, may provide a means of diminishing the risk of AMD.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Large portions of energy-dense foods are one feature of obesity-promoting dietary environments. Entrée portion size has been shown to influence energy intake at meals by young children. The role of energy density (ED) in children's response to portion size, however, is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to test the effects of portion size and ED on children's food and energy intakes at a meal. DESIGN: Participants were 53 (28 girls and 25 boys; 15 Hispanic, 20 black, 16 white, 2 other race) 5- to 6-y-old children [mean (+/-SD) body mass index percentile: = 61 +/- 28]. A 2 x 2 within-subjects design was used to manipulate entrée portion size (250 compared with 500 g) and ED (1.3 compared with 1.8 kcal/g). Fixed portions of other familiar foods were provided. Weighed intake, food preference, and weight and height data were obtained. RESULTS: Effects of portion size (P<0.0001) and ED (P<0.0001) on entrée energy intake were independent but additive. Energy intake from other foods at the meal did not vary across conditions. Compared with the reference portion size and ED condition, children consumed 76% more energy from the entrée and 34% more energy at the meal when served the larger, more energy-dense entrée. Effects did not vary by sex, age, entrée preference, or body mass index z score. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide new evidence that portion size and ED act additively to promote energy intake at meals among preschool-aged children.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence of overweight among Hispanic children in the United States, definitive predictors of weight gain have not been identified in this population. OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to test sociodemographic, metabolic, and behavioral predictors of 1-y weight gains in a large cohort of Hispanic children studied longitudinally. DESIGN: Subjects (n = 879) were siblings from 319 Hispanic families enrolled in the Viva la Familia Study. Families were required to have at least one overweight child aged 4-19 y. One-year changes in weight and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were measured. Data were from parental interviews, birth certificates, multiple-pass 24-h dietary recalls, 3-d accelerometry, 24-h respiration calorimetry, measurements of eating in the absence of hunger, and measurement of fasting blood biochemistry indexes by radioimmunoassay. Generalized estimating equations and principal component analysis were applied. RESULTS: Weight gain increased with age (P = 0.001), peaking at approximately 10 y of age in girls and approximately 11 y of age in boys. Mean (+/-SD) weight gain was significantly higher in overweight (7.5 +/- 3.7 kg/y) than in nonoverweight (4.4 +/- 2.4 kg/y) children and in boys than in girls. When adjusted for age, age squared, sex, and Tanner stage, the final model indicated a child's body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) status, maternal BMI, energy expenditure (total energy expenditure, basal metabolic rate, and sleeping metabolic rate), and fasting blood biochemistry indexes (total triiodothyronine, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin) as independent, positive predictors of weight gain (P = 0.01-0.001). CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the metabolic and behavioral predictors of weight gain in Hispanic children will inform prevention and treatment efforts to address this serious public health problem in the United States.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Strategies for improving the vitamin A status of vulnerable populations are needed. OBJECTIVE: We studied the influence of the amounts of dietary fat on the effectiveness of carotene-rich plant foods in improving vitamin A status. DESIGN: Schoolchildren aged 9-12 y were fed standardized meals 3 times/d, 5 d/wk, for 9 wk. The meals provided 4.2 mg provitamin A carotenoids/d (mainly beta-carotene) from yellow and green leafy vegetables [carrots, pechay (bok choy), squash, and kangkong (swamp cabbage)] and 7, 15, or 29 g fat/d (2.4, 5, or 10 g fat/meal) in groups A, B, and C (n = 39, 39, and 38, respectively). Other self-selected foods eaten were recorded daily. Before and after the intervention, total-body vitamin A pool sizes and liver vitamin A concentrations were measured with the deuterated-retinol-dilution method; serum retinol and carotenoid concentrations were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: Similar increases in mean serum beta-carotene (5-fold), alpha-carotene (19-fold), and beta-cryptoxanthin (2-fold) concentrations; total-body vitamin A pool size (2-fold); and liver vitamin A (2-fold) concentrations were observed after 9 wk in the 3 study groups; mean serum retinol concentrations did not change significantly. The total daily beta-carotene intake from study meals plus self-selected foods was similar between the 3 groups and was 14 times the usual intake; total fat intake was 0.9, 1.4, or 2.0 times the usual intake in groups A, B, and C, respectively. The overall prevalence of low liver vitamin A (<0.07 mumol/g) decreased from 35% to 7%. CONCLUSIONS: Carotene-rich yellow and green leafy vegetables, when ingested with minimal fat, enhance serum carotenoids and the total-body vitamin A pool size and can restore low liver vitamin A concentrations to normal concentrations.

AB  - BACKGROUND: There remains no consensus about the optimal dietary composition for sustained weight loss. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the effects of 2 dietary macronutrient patterns with different glycemic loads on adherence to a prescribed regimen of calorie restriction (CR), weight and fat loss, and related variables. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of diets with a high glycemic load (HG) or a low glycemic load (LG) at 30% CR was conducted in 34 healthy overweight adults with a mean (+/-SD) age of 35 +/- 6 y and body mass index (kg/m(2)) of 27.6 +/- 1.4. All food was provided for 6 mo in diets controlled for confounding variables, and subjects self-administered the plans for 6 additional months. Primary and secondary outcomes included energy intake measured by doubly labeled water, body weight and fatness, hunger, satiety, and resting metabolic rate. RESULTS: All groups consumed significantly less energy during CR than at baseline (P < 0.01), but changes in energy intake, body weight, body fat, and resting metabolic rate did not differ significantly between groups. Both groups ate more energy than provided (eg, 21% and 28% CR at 3 mo and 16% and 17% CR at 6 mo with HG and LG, respectively). Percentage weight change at 12 mo was -8.04 +/- 4.1% in the HG group and -7.81 +/- 5.0% in the LG group. There was no effect of dietary composition on changes in hunger, satiety, or satisfaction with the amount and type of provided food during CR. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide more detailed evidence to suggest that diets differing substantially in glycemic load induce comparable long-term weight loss.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Although consumption of 3 meals/d is the most common pattern of eating in industrialized countries, a scientific rationale for this meal frequency with respect to optimal health is lacking. A diet with less meal frequency can improve the health and extend the lifespan of laboratory animals, but its effect on humans has never been tested. OBJECTIVE: A pilot study was conducted to establish the effects of a reduced-meal-frequency diet on health indicators in healthy, normal-weight adults. DESIGN: The study was a randomized crossover design with two 8-wk treatment periods. During the treatment periods, subjects consumed all of the calories needed for weight maintenance in either 3 meals/d or 1 meal/d. RESULTS: Subjects who completed the study maintained their body weight within 2 kg of their initial weight throughout the 6-mo period. There were no significant effects of meal frequency on heart rate, body temperature, or most of the blood variables measured. However, when consuming 1 meal/d, subjects had a significant increase in hunger; a significant modification of body composition, including reductions in fat mass; significant increases in blood pressure and in total, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations; and a significant decrease in concentrations of cortisol. CONCLUSIONS: Normal-weight subjects are able to comply with a 1 meal/d diet. When meal frequency is decreased without a reduction in overall calorie intake, modest changes occur in body composition, some cardiovascular disease risk factors, and hematologic variables. Diurnal variations may affect outcomes. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - A twenty hectare forest block in central Pennsylvania was aerially sprayed with diflubenzuron (Dimilin 25W®) at the dose of 33.23g A.I./ha in 9.4 litres/ha. Leaf samples were collected from the upper and lower canopies of 27 oaks and understory within this block on the day of spray, May 29, 1991. Canopy leaves were also collected on May 31, June 10, July 29 and September 26, 1991. Recovery of diflubenzuron residues on fortified canopy‐leaf and litter‐leaf samples using analytical techniques employed in this study averaged 87.4% (SE = 7.5%) and 66.2% (SE = 8.2%), respectively. On the day of spray, diflubenzuron residues on the upper canopy, lower canopy and understory averaged 81.18, 39.65 and 8.35 ng/cm2, respectively. Diflubenzuron residues on canopy‐leaf samples collected 2, 12, 61 and 120 days post‐spray averaged 14.83 (SE = 10.19), 16.75 (SE = 9.95), 12.84 (SE = 8.25) and 11.20 (SE = 7.52) ng/cm2, respectively. Diflubenzuron residues on litter‐leaf samples collected after leaf senescence ‐ 169 and 323 days post spray contained measurable amounts of diflubenzuron in 51 and 59% of the samples, respectively. Of the samples with measurable amounts of diflubenzuron, residues averaged 1.36 (SE = 2.44) and 0.65 ng/cm2 (SE = 0.73) respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Leaf area index (LAI) of a stand of adult black alder trees (Alnus glutinosa L., Gaertn.) was determined by means of three independent methods. (1) The seasonal course of LAI was directly obtained by counting leaves in situ and adding up their areas, estimated from harvested subsamples of leaves. (2) The seasonal variation of LAI in the stand was estimated using the Li-Cor LAI-2000 PCA in parallel and with this instrument a Vegetation Area Index (VAI, projected area of all phyto-elements) was actually measured. (3) Maximum LAI was calculated from leaf litter collections taking into account specific leaf area within different layers of the alder crown. Direct LAI estimates (1) and calculations from leaf litter (3) revealed the same figure of maximum LAI (4.8). This LAI was reached in August. The LAI-2000 PCA captured the seasonal variation and underestimated, by 11% on average, the LAI obtained directly. Compared with results gained with other broad-leaved tree species the LAI-2000 PCA values for alder were reliable. It is suggested that this is due to the horizontal homogeneous structure of the main leaf layer. This is in the periphery of the crown, where 90% of the light interception occurs. Taking the het-erogeneity into account a satisfactory compatibility of the three methods applied to the alder stand was achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Anaerobic treatment dramatically alters the pattern of gene expression in maize (zea mays L.) seedlings. During anaerobiosis there is an immediate repression of pre-existing protein synthesis and the simultaneous selective synthesis of four polypeptides with a molecular weight of ˜33 kDa (the transition polypeptides). After 90 min, this is followed by specific transcription and mRNA accumulation as well as the selective synthesis of approximately 20 anaerobically-induced proteins. Among these anaerobic proteins (ANPs) are enzymes involved in glycolysis and related processes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) aldolase, enolase, glucose-phosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate decarboxylase, and sucrose synthase. However, two genes, inducible by oxygen deprivation, have been found that have different functions. One that has homology to xyloglucan endotransglycosylase may be involved in aerenchyma formation during flooding. The anaerobic response is most likely a plant's natural reaction to flooding. A similar condition has been observed in every plant species analysed to date. The anaerobic response and flooding tolerance in maize has been analysed using a combination of molecular, biochemical and genetic approaches. The studies include the characterization of anaerobically inducible genes, the identification of genes involved in flooding tolerance, and analysis of the signal transduction events that are involved in the perception of oxygen deprivation and lead to the anaerobic response.

AB  - Photopigment radiolabcling, a useful method for measuring the in situ carbon-specific growth rates of microalgae, is based on the determination of synthesis rates of chemosystematic (i.e. specific for microalgal phylogenetic groups) chlorophylls and carotenoids using photosynthetically assimilated 14C as a radiotracer. The reliability of this method depends on accurate measurements of the 14C-specific activity of individual photopigments. Typically, photopigments are separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fraction collection of individual peaks, followed by further purification and standard scintillation counting. To simplify analyses, we evaluated in-line flow scintillation counting to determine its applicability and reliability for measuring the activity of radio-labeled photopigments. Incubations were conducted using both pure cultures and natural phyto-plankton samples. The radiochemical purity of photopigments was determined by extract acidification (10% HC1) to transform chlorophylls into degradation products. Purity was also checked by comparing absorbance spectra with purified standards. Although 14C-labeled colorless compounds are a common feature in radiograms, these compounds do not co-elute with photopigments using our HPLC protocol. Flow scintillation counting, coupled with a highly selective HPLC protocol, provides an efficient, reliable and feasible alternative to fraction collection/repurification methods for measuring the 14C-specific activity of microalgal photosynthetic pigments.

AB  - Interest in natural resources and the environment has led to the development of new federal monitoring efforts, the expansion of existing federal inventory programmes, and discussions of inter-agency collaboration for natural resource assessment data collection. As federal programmes evolve, knowledge gained from existing long-term survey programmes can provide valuable contributions to statistical and operational aspects of survey efforts. This paper describes the National Resources Inventory (NRI), which has been conducted by the US Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service in cooperation with the Iowa State University Statistical Laboratory for several decades. The current NRI is a longitudinal survey of soil, water, and related environmental resources designed to assess conditions and trends every five years on non-federal US lands. An historical overview is provided highlighting the development of the survey programme. Sample design, data collection, and estimation procedures used in the 1992 NRI are described, and statistical issues related to long-term monitoring are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Whole-body copper metabolism is difficult to study in human subjects. However, the use of isotopic tracers and kinetics modeling has added a dimension beyond what can be learned in humans by direct measurement. Mechanisms regulating total body copper seem to be strong, given the relatively small and constant body pool, but they are not yet well understood. The efficiency of copper absorption varies greatly, depending on dietary intake. Changes in efficiency of absorption help to regulate the amount of copper retained by the body. In addition, endogenous excretion of copper into the gastrointestinal tract depends heavily on the amount of copper absorbed. When dietary copper is high and more is absorbed, endogenous excretion increases, protecting against excess accumulation of copper in the body. When intake is low, little endogenous copper is excreted, protecting against copper depletion. Regulation is not sufficient with very low amounts of dietary copper (0.38 mg/d) and appears to be delayed when copper intake is high. The use of isotopic tracers and kinetic modeling should aid in elucidating the regulatory mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - ting criteria are established by regulatory authorities to evaluate potential accident scenarios associated with proposed nuclear facilities. The 0.25 Sv (25 rem) siting criteria adopted in the United States has been historically based on the prevention of deterministic effects from acute, whole-body exposures. The Department of Energy has extended the applicability of this criterion to radionuclides that deliver chronic, organ-specific irradiation through the specification of a 0.25 Sv (25 rem) committed effective dose equivalent siting criterion. A methodology is developed to determine siting criteria based on the prevention of deterministic effects from inhalation intakes of radionuclides which deliver chronic, organ-specific irradiation. Revised siting criteria, expressed in terms of committed effective dose equivalent, are proposed for nuclear facilities that handle primarily plutonium compounds. The analysis determined that a siting criterion of 1.2 Sv (120 rem) committed effective dose equivalent for inhalation exposures to weapons-grade plutonium meets the historical goal of preventing deterministic effects during a facility accident scenario. The criterion also meets the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy Nuclear Safety Goals provided that the frequency of the accident is sufficiently low. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper reviews results obtained by stable-isotope-tracer methods for stearic acid ( 18:0) and palmitic acid (16:0) metabolism and the influence of dietary linoleic acid on the metabolism of these saturated fatty acids in humans subjects. The results, based on stable-isotope-tracer data, show that absorption of 18:0 is not significantly different from 16:0: percent desaturation of 18:0 to 9-cis I 8: 1 (9.2%) is 2.4 times higher than for 16:0 to 9-cis 16: 1 (3.9%) and 9-desaturation is not greatly influenced by the amount of linoleic acid in typical US diets. Additionally, compared with 16:0, 18:0 incorporation is 30-40% lower for plasma triglyceride and cholesterol ester and ≈40% higher for phosphatidylcholine: β-oxidation of saturated fatty acids was slower than for unsaturated fatty acids and increasing the intake of dietary linoleic acid decreased β-oxidation of saturated fatty acids. These results indicate that metabolic differences between 18:0 and 16:0 only partially explain the difference in the cholestenolemic effect reported for these saturated fatty acids.

AB  - Ten male subjects were fed a diet rich in stearic acid while they were confined to a metabolic ward. There were three study periods: a 20-d baseline period followed by two 40d intervention periods. The baseline diet contained 4.4% of energy from stearic acid; one intervention diet was high in stearic acid (7.3% of energy) and the other intervention diet was low in stearic acid ( I .6% of energy). The energy contribution of protein, carbohydrate, and fat (16%, 54%, and 30%, respectively) was identical for the two diets. The fat content was distributed equally among saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Urinary excretions of thromboxane B2, 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2, 6-oxo-pnostaglandin F1a, and 2,3-dinon-6-oxo-prostaglandin F1a were not significantly different during the two different intervention periods. This suggests that changes in dietary stearic acid do not affect in vivo thromboxane A2 or prostacyclin biosynthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Men (n = 20) and women (n = 20) consuming a diet adequate in manganese were fed 0.037 mBq 54Mn in a test meal. Subjects were counted in a whole-body counter for 70 d to determine whole-body retention of 54Mn. Data from days 10 to 20 and from days 19 to 70 were analyzed by linear regression to calculate absorption and biological half-life. Men absorbed significantly less 54Mn than women, but the 54Mn absorbed had a longer half-life in men. Estimates of absorption were higher, and estimates of half-life were lower, when data from days 10 to 20 were used compared with days 19 to 70. There was a significant association between manganese absorption and plasma ferritin concentrations and between manganese absorption and biological half-life. We conclude that men and women differ in manganese metabolism and that such differences may be related to iron status. We also conclude that regression estimates of absorption determined by using whole-body retention curves depend on the portion of the data used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examined the effect of β-carotene depletion and repletion on the immune status of nine healthy women who hived in the metabolic suite for 100 d. For the first 4 d all women were fed a basal diet supplemented with 1 .5 mg β-carotene/d (baseline). During the next 68 d, the basal diet without β-carotene supplementation was fed to all subjects (depletion), and during the last 28 d the diet of each woman was supplemented with 15.0 mg β-carotene/d (repletion). Neither β-carotene depletion nor repletion significantly (P ≤ 0.05) altered proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured with phytohemagglutinin or concanavalin A, in vitro production of soluble interleukin 2 receptor, or the concentration of circulating lymphocytes and their subsets. Thus, in healthy adults consuming adequate vitamin A, β-carotene depletion had no adverse effect on the indexes tested, nor was there any beneficial effect of modest β-carotene supplementation.

AB  - To test the hypothesis that diet may exert differential effects on apolipoprotein (apo) A-I-containing high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) particles with (w) and without (w/o) apo A-II [Lp(A-I w A-II) and Lp(A-I w/o A-II)], the effects of a diet low in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol [National Cholesterol Education Panel (NCEP) Step 2 diet] on these lipoproteins were determined in eight normolipidemic subjects, aged 53-74 y, in both the fasting and nonfasting states. Compared with a diet high in saturated fatty acid and cholesterol, consumption of an NCEP diet (6 mo) lowered fasting plasma, low-density lipoprotein, and HDL cholesterol, and nonfasting plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol (P < 0.05-<0.005). Phospholipid in fasting and nonfasting Lp(A-I w A-II) and Lp(A-I w/o A-II) was lower during the NCEP diet (P < 0.05-0.001), but reductions in apo A-I or A-II were observed only in Lp(A-I w A-II). In contrast, differences in particle-size profiles were detected in Lp(A-I w/o A-II) but not in Lp(A-I w A-II). These observations provide further evidence that Lp(A-I w A-II) and Lp(A-I w/o A-II) are distinct metabolic entities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of daily supplementation of 800 mg dl α-tocopheryl acetate for 30 d on general health, nutrient status, hepatic and renal function, intermediary metabolism, hematological status, plasma nutrients and antioxidant status, thyroid hormones, and urinary creatinine concentrations was studied in 32 healthy elderly (> 60 y) people who participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, residential trial. The subjects reported no side effects due to the supplements. Supplementation had no effect on body weight, plasma total protein, albumin, glucose, total cholesterol and triglycerides, conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, indicators of hepatic and renal function, hematologic status, thyroid hormones, or serum and urinary creatinine concentrations and creatinine clearance. Supplementation did cause a significant increase in serum vitamin E, and a small (5%) but significant (P < 0.05) increase in plasma zinc in the vitamin E-supplemented group. Thus, short-term supplementation with 800 mg vitamin E/d has no adverse effect on healthy older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To determine whether the lower rates of heart disease in Taiwan than in the United States could be related to associations between plasma lipoproteins and dietary intake, we assessed these indexes in 423 adults in Taipei matched with 420 adults in Framingham, MA. Concentrations of LDL cholesterol were 14% lower, HDL cholesterol 9% higher, and LDL cholesterol: HDL cholesterol 27% lower in Taipei than in Framingham. Dietary intakes of total fat (34%), saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol (338 mg) were, respectively, 16%, 41%, and 19% lower in Taipei men, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acid intake was 89% higher than in Framingham men. Similar differences were seen for women except for total fat and cholesterol intakes, which were similar. From stepwise analyses of all subjects, we observed significant associations of lower LDL cholesterol: HDL cholesterol with higher polyunsaturated fatty acid intakes and lower body mass indexes in both men and women. Our data indicate that the more favorable lipoprotein profiles observed in Taipei subjects may be partly due to differences in type of dietary fat consumption as well as in body mass index.

AB  - The accuracy of body-composition measurements by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was assessed by comparison with total carcass chemical analysis in 16 pigs with a weight range of 5-35 kg. Two software versions for body-composition analyses with the DXA instrument were evaluated. Although both software versions accurately predicted body weight, there were significant differences in the partitioning between bone mineral content (BMC), nonbone lean tissue, and body-fat compartments. All estimates of body composition were highly correlated (r² ≥ 0.98) with the results of the direct chemical reference method. SEEs were 226-271 g for body weight, 387-429 g for fat, 3.5-4.3 kg for fat-free mass, and 35.4-36.5 g for BMC. For bone, both software versions produced BMC values that were ≈ 25% below the total carcass ash content. For the absolute mass of body fat, one DXA analysis provided underestimates that averaged 19.5% below the reference chemical method, whereas the alternate software version resulted in overestimates, averaging 15.5%. Conversely, the average fat-free compartment was initially overestimated by 968 g, then underestimated by 892 g. The impact of these differences in the body-composition analyses by DXA were examined in a group of 18 young boys 4-12 y of age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We evaluated the effects of self-selected diets on calcium absorption and calculated retention in girls during pre-, early, and late puberty. Dietary calcium absorption was measured in 51 girls aged 4.9-16.7 y by using a dual-tracer stable-isotope technique. We found that calcium intake was similar among girls of all ages and all degrees of pubertal development and was below the recommended dietary allowance (1200 mg/d) for 21 of 25 girls aged ≥ II y. The early pubertal period was associated with a higher percent of dietary calcium absorption (34.4 ± 11.9%) than was the prepubertal (27.7 ± 8.2%) or late pubertal periods (25.9 ± 7.8%). Calculated calcium retention averaged 132 ± 83 mg/d in prepubertal girls, 161 ± 88 mg/d in early pubertal girls, and 44 ± 91 mg/d in late pubertal girls. Peak calcium retention during early puberty was far below that previously reported after higher calcium intakes. We conclude that peak periods for calcium retention for girls are in the pre- and early pubertal periods. The current calcium intake of American girls during the pubertal growth period may not enable maximal mineral retention; therefore, increased calcium intakes should be considered.

AB  - Dietary protein requirements of elderly people were determined by short-term nitrogen-balance techniques and using calculations recommended by the 1985 Joint FAO/WHO/ UNU Expert Consultation. Twelve men and women aged 56-80 y were randomly assigned to groups that consumed either 0.80 ± 0.01 or 1.62 ± 0.02 g protein ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1 (... ± SEM). Net nitrogen balance was negative for the lower-protein group (-4.6 ± 3.4 mg N ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1) and positive for the higher-protein group (13.6 ± 1.0 mg N ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1); the intake required for nitrogen equilibrium was estimated to be 1.00 g ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1. Nitrogen-balance data from three previous protein requirement studies in elderly people were recalculated by using the same balance formula and combined with the current study data to provide an overall weighted mean protein requirement estimate of 0.91 ± 0.043 g ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1. Together, the current and retrospective nitrogen-balance data suggest that the mean protein requirement in elderly adults is considerably greater than the 0.60 g ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1 established by the 1985 Joint FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation. A safe protein intake for elderly adults would be 1.0-1.25 g ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ d-1 of high-quality protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Nine normal male subjects were fed a reference diet typical of that consumed in the United States and a diet containing ≈450 g salmon (salmon-rich diet). The salmon diet contained ≈6 g ω3 fatty acids that comprised 2.0% energy intake/d for each individual. The percent energy contribution of protein, carbohydrate, and fat (19%, 56%, and 25%, respectively) was identical for the two diets. Urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2 was significantly lower (0.74 ± 0.26 ng/24 h) with the salmon diet compared with the reference diet (0.95 ± 0.31 ng/24 h). In addition, in vitro generation of thromboxane B2 in response to collagen-stimulated aggregation of platelet-rich plasma from subjects consuming the salmon diet was reduced (1.87 ± 0.79 ng/mL) compared with subjects consuming the reference diet (3.10 ± 1.81 ng/mL). Urinary 2,3-dinor-6-oxo-prostaglandin F1α excretion in subjects was not significantly different between the salmon diet (0.69 ± 0.33 ng/24 h) and the reference diet (0.81 ± 0.44 ng/24 h).

AB  - The diet-plasma relationships for carotenoids were examined in a group of 98 nonsmoking premenopausal women who participated in the cross-sectional phase of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-US Department of Agriculture (USDA) diet study on alcohol-hormone metabolism, 1988-90. With use of the newly developed USDA-NCI carotenoid food-composition database, the mean daily intakes of carotenoids were significantly higher when estimated from the food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) than from the 7-d diet records. Ly-copene (... = 0.58 mmol/L), lutein plus zeaxanthin (... = 0.46 mmol/L), and β-carotene (... = 0.34 mmol/L) were the major plasma carotenoids. After adjustment for body mass index, energy and alcohol intakes, and total plasma cholesterol concentration, the following significant correlations (P < 0.05) were observed between the diet record and the FFQ-estimated carotenoid intakes and their respective plasma concentrations: α-carotene (r = 0.58 vs 0.49), β-carotene (r = 0.51 vs 0.49), ß-cryptoxanthin (r = 0.49 vs 0.36), lutein plus zeaxanthin (r = 0.31 vs 0.37), lycopene (r = 0.50 vs 0.26), and total carotenoids (r = 0.57 vs 0.49). These data indicate that plasma carotenoid concentrations are reflective of dietary intake, but the magnitude of the correlation varies depending on the specific carotenoid and on the dietary assessment tool.

AB  - Body composition and the components of energy metabolism were examined in 12 men and women, aged 56-80 y, before and after 12 wk of resistance training. Subjects were randomly assigned to groups that consumed diets that providing either 0.8 or 1.6 g protein • kg-1 • d-1 and adequate total energy to maintain baseline body weight. Fat mass decreased 1.8 ± 0.4 kg (P < 0.001) and fat-free mass (FFM) increased 1.4 ± 0.4 kg (P < 0.01) in these weight-stable subjects. The increase in FFM was associated with a 1.6 ± 0.4 kg increase in total body water (P < 0.01) but no significant change in either protein plus mineral mass or body cell mass. With resistance training, the mean energy intake required for body weight maintenance increased by ≈15%. Increased energy expenditure included increased resting metabolic rate (P < 0.02) and the energy cost of resistance exercise. Dietary protein intake did not influence these results. Resistance training is an effective way to increase energy requirements, decrease body-fat mass, and maintain metabolically active tissue mass in healthy older people and may be useful as an adjunct to weight-control programs for older adults.

AB  - The effect of ascorbic acid supplementation on apparent iron absorption was tested in women with low iron stores. For 10 wk, 25 healthy nonpregnant women, aged 20-45 y with low serum ferritin (3.5-17.7 µg/L), consumed either a diet with predicted poorly bioavailable iron or a typical Western diet, classified according to dietary meat and ascorbic acid contents. Meals were supplemented with ascorbic acid (500 mg, three times a day) for 5 of the 10 wk, in a double-blind, crossover design. Ascorbic acid did not affect most biochemical indexes of iron status, the biological half-life of 59Fe, or apparent iron absorption (diet -- feces) from either diet, but slightly increased serum ferritin (11.9 vs 10.7 µg/L, P < 0.06) when data from both diets were combined. These results support other evidence that ascorbic acid has less effect on iron bioavailability than has been predicted from tests with single meals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Effects of cis and trans monounsaturated fatty acids (TFA) and saturated fatty acids were assessed in 29 men and 29 women consuming controlled diets. Subjects ate each diet for 6 wk in a Latin square design. The diets, each with 39-40% of energy as fat were: 1) high oleic (16.7% of energy as oleic acid), 2) moderate TFA (3.8% of energy as TFA), 3) high TFA (6.6% of energy as TFA), 4) and saturated (16.2% of energy as lauric + myristic + palmitic acids). Compared with the oleic diet, LDL cholesterol increased 6.0%, 7.8%, and 9.0% after moderate TFA, high TFA, and saturated diets, respectively. HDL cholesterol was unchanged aften moderate TFA, but was slightly lower (2.8%) after high TFA. HDL cholesterol after the saturated diet was 3.5% higher than after the oleic diet. Changes in apolipoproteins B and A-I corresponded with changes in the lipoprotein cholesterols. Thus, compared with oleic acid, dietary TFAs raise LDL cholesterol, but to a slightly lessen degree than do saturates, and high TFA concentrations may result in minor reductions of HDL cholesterol.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise training (Ex), a low-fat diet (LF, 19% fat), or combined interventions (LF-Ex) on lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations in glucose-intolerant subjects while their weight was maintained. Baseline dietary fat and carbohydrate composition, body composition, body mass index, age, and lipoprotein cholesterol were not different among groups. Aerobic capacity increased in both exercise groups (P < 0.01) and remained unchanged in the LF group. Body composition was unaltered and change in body weight (kg) was small: Ex, -0.8 ± 0.4, (P < 0.05); LF, +0.4 ± 0.4; (NS); LF-Ex, - 1 .4 ± 0.4 (P < 0.01). Exercise alone did not significantly affect lipoprotein cholesterol or TG concentrations. In LF and LF-Ex, respectively, decreases (P < 0.02) in total cholesterol(-0.66 ± 0.24 and -0.42 ± 0.21 mmol/L), HDL (-0.14 ± 0.07 and -0.26 ± 0.04), and LDL (-0.60 ± 0.25 and -0.23 ± 0. 13) were seen after 12 wk, whereas VLDL and TG remained unchanged. Our data indicate that beneficial effects of exercise training on lipid indexes are not observed in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance on either an average US diet or a low-fat diet if substantial changes in weight or body composition do not occur.

AB  - The US Public Health Service recommends that all women in the United States who might possibly become pregnant should consume 0.4 mg folic acid/d to lower the incidence of neural tube defect (NTD). This paper reviews the bases for this recommendation: controlled trials of peniconceptional folate, observational studies of folate supplementation, studies relating dietary folate to NTD, a trial of dietary education aimed at lowering the rate of NTD, and studies of the relationship to NTD of serum and red blood cell folate concentrations. It remains unclean that trials to prevent recurrent NTD apply directly to occurrent NTD, and the minimum necessary dose of folate is unknown. Given the potential dangers of high levels of folate in the general diet, particularly the masking of the hematologic effects of vitamin B-12 deficiency in elderly persons, with the consequent possibility of vitamin B-12 deficiency presenting as sevene, irreversible neurologic disease, it is suggested that, until the impact of increasing the general folate level of the diet is better understood, tablet supplementation of folate to women of child-bearring age is preferable as an interim measure to increased food fortification.

AB  - We investigated the contributions (1.00-8.03 µg/d, or 40-321 IU/d) of vitamin D intake and seasonal sunlight exposure to plasma 25(OH)D in 59 healthy women aged 70-97 y with a mean total vitamin D intake of 8.58 µg/d (343 IU/d). In the summer and winter, each subject had a fasting blood measurement and assessments of vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure. Vitamin D intake was significantly correlated with plasma 25(OH)D in the summer (r = 0.52, P < 0.01) and winter (r = 0.63, P < 0.01). The influence of sunlight exposure measured in the summer on the 25(OH)D concentration was dependent on the vitamin D intake. In subjects with lower vitamin D intakes (1.00-8.03 µg/d, or 40-321 IU/d), the wintertime 25(OH)D concentrations of those with low and high sunlight exposure were comparable. In subjects with higher vitamin D intakes (11.15-28.68 µg/d, or 446-1147 IU/d), however, the wintertime 25(OH)D concentrations of those with high sunlight exposure were lower than those with lower exposure [63.8 ± 3.9 and 80.6 ± 6.7 nmol/L, respectively, P = 0.066; P (intake by exposure interaction) < 0.05]. This suggests that the contribution of vitamin D intake to plasma 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by sunlight exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Plasma lipid and apohipoprotein (apo) A-I and B concentrations and habitual dietary intakes were determined in 306 free-living elderly individuals (119 men and 187 women, age range 60- 100 y). Plasma lipid and apo A-I concentrations were significantly higher in women than in men. In older men, plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, and apo B concentrations were significantly lower than in younger men, whereas a significant trend towards lower LDL-cholesterol concentrations was observed in older women. Energy intake and percent macronutrient intake were not influenced by age. Higher carbohydrate intake was associated with lower HDL cholesterol and apo A-I concentrations, whereas higher total fat intake was associated with higher apo A-I concentrations. Higher vitamin A intake was associated with higher plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol and apo A-I. Our data indicate that both dietary and plasma concentrations of vitamin A, body mass index, age, and sex are important determinants of plasma lipid concentrations in the elderly.

AB  - Associations between published values for glycemic index (GI) and chemical components were examined by regression analysis in 18 starchy foods. Independent variables were the amounts of protein, fat, phytic acid, and total dietary fiber (TDF) present in food portions containing 50 g available carbohydrate. GI was similarly and significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with TDF, protein, and phytate. When foods were considered as comprising two groups, legumes and others (grains and tubers), food category accounted for as large a fraction of variability in GI as did regression analysis with food components in the undivided sample. Most correlations between GI and components reverted toward zero when calculated only for the legumes or for the "others'' group. Evidence is cited that the method of preparing foods and the characteristics of starch and starch granules are more important in predicting GI among starchy foods than is the content of any of these four food components.

AB  - We sought to determine the effect of supplementation with zinc. vitamin A. or a combination of the two on proliferation of T lymphocytes to concanavalin A (ConA), tetanus toxoid (TT), or tuberculin (PPD) of children living in a region endemic for suboptimal vitamin A and zinc intake. The children (n = 140, aged 6-13 y) were randomly assigned and supplemented with either zinc (25 mg/d), vitamin A (1500 mg RE/d), zinc + vitamin A, or placebo for 6 mo. After a baseline blood collection, subjects were boosted with diptheria-tetanus antigen. Proliferative responsiveness of T lymphocytes to ConA and TT in each treatment group (n = 35) was not different at baseline or postsupplementation. Children supplemented with zinc + vitamin A tended to show higher proliferative responsiveness of T lymphocytes to PPD than did those treated with placebo (P = 0.08). This tendency was observed in females but not in males. Increased zinc and vitamin A intake could result in health benefits for children living in regions endemic for suboptimal micronutrient nutriture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A newly available carotenoid food-composition database providing specific carotenoid values for > 2300 foods was linked to dietary data on 57 male nonsmokers to examine the association between dietary carotenoid intake and plasma carotenoid concentrations over 3 wk when free-living. Carotenoid intake was estimated from a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and 7 d of food diaries with concurrent analysis of plasma carotenoid concentrations. After adjustment for energy intake, percentage of energy from alcohol, and plasma lipid concentrations, significant diet-plasma correlations for the FFQ and the food diaries (FD) included a-carotene (r = 0.29 and 0.43), β-carotene (r = 0.36 FFQ only), β-cryptoxanthin (r = 0.46 and 0.44), lutein (r = 0.44 FD only), and lycopene (r = 0.53 FD only). Dietary carotenoid intakes were associated with plasma carotenoid concentrations for all the carotenoids except for carotene when food diaries were used whereas the diet-plasma correlation for the provitamin A carotenoids were consistently significant when the FFQ was used.

AB  - Healthy men (ages 24-57 y) were fed a controlled basal diet supplemented with I 5 g/d of placebo oil (P0) for 10 wk followed by 1 5 g/d offish-oil concentrate (FO)(fortified with 15 mg all-rac-tocopherol) for 10 wk without additional α-tocopherol and the last 8 wk with 200 mg α-tocopherol/d (FO + E). Compared with PO, FO raised plasma malondialdehyde: lowered α-tocopherol in plasma. red blood cells. and platelets: and raised plasma and platelet β-carotene. Supplementation with additional α-tocopherol (FO + E) not only restored tocopherol concentrations but also reversed the rise in β-carotene. The response in retinol. particularly in platelets. showed an inverse relationship to β-carotene, α-tocopherol exhibiting a modulating effect on these changes. From these observations it is postulated that platelets may be a significant extraintestinal site of retinol formation from β-carotene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Six groups of elderly subjects from central Guatemala were assessed for riboflavin status by using the erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient (EGRAC). The prevalence of riboflavin deficiency ranged from 50% to 76% among the free-living rural elderly subjects. Milk intake data that were collected from some of the subjects showed a significant correlation (P < 0.0001) between frequency of milk intake and riboflavin status. In a short-term riboflavin supplementation experiment in which nine riboflavin-deficient subjects were given 10 mg riboflavin/d for 3 d. all the subjects' EGRACs were normalized by the supplementation. However, they returned to a state of deficiency within 2 wk while consuming their usual diets without supplementation. It appears that the high prevalence of riboflavin deficiency in elderly Guatemalan people is caused by inadequate intake of riboflavin-rich foods such as dairy products, and that sufficient amounts of riboflavin need to be ingested regularly to maintain satisfactory riboflavin status.

AB  - This article is an update of our 1987 literature review of vitamin requirements of elderly people (Am J Clin Nutr 1987:45:501-12). Poor dietary intake is the cause of much vitamin malnutrition in elderly people. Nevertheless. there is strong evidence that aging affects the requirement for certain vitamins. The 1989 recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) appear to be too low for elderly people for vitamin D. riboflavin. vitamin B-6, and vitamin B-12, and too high for vitamin A. For several vitamins there is enough information to establish an RDA for the category ≥ 70 y. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Advantage of knee height over height as an index of stature in expression of body composition in adults.

AB  - It is not clear how body composition should best be compared between subjects, but it is accepted that simply comparing total mass or percentage fat-free mass (FFM) or fat mass (FM) is not adequate. Indexing body composition to stature seems more appropriate. but the decline in height with age or osteoporosis could confound comparisons of body composition across age or disease groups. Using bioimpedance data from 600 adults in the Framingham Offspring Study, we examined the ability of height and knee height indexes to correctly describe the loss of FFM seen with increasing age between 28 and 75 y. Indexing body composition to height obscured the loss of FFM with age (r = -0.065. P < 0.26 for men; r = -0.050, P < 0.394 for women), whereas indexing body composition to knee height preserved the correct information (r = -0.154, P < 0.007 for men; r = -0.161, P < 0.006 for women). These data suggest that knee height is a reliable surrogate for stature and should be used to adjust body composition measurements when bioimpedance is used to estimate body composition.

AB  - Estimates of total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) by heart-rate (HR) monitoring were compared with those made by the doubly labeled water (DLW) method in nine exclusively breast-feeding women. Subjects recorded HR and dietary intake daily during the 8-d. isotope-measurement period. Milk energy output was determined by 3-d test weighing and analysis of 24-h milk samples. Total energy output (milk energy and TDEE) averaged 12.36 ± 1.03 MJ/d with DLW compared with 11.74 ± 1.3 MJ/d with HR monitoring, a 5.8% difference (NS). Individual differences ranged from -27.1% to +17.6%. The high water turnover and relatively low level of activity during lactation made the slopes of deuterium and I8O disappearance more similar, resulting in increased error in estimates of TDEE by DLW. Therefore, the DLW method may not be appropriate for use in lactating women. There are considerable individual deviations in estimating TDEE by HR monitoring, but it is satisfactory for estimating TDEE of groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Chromium metabolism of lactating women was evaluated by measuring diet, breast milk, urine, and serum chromium in 17 subjects 60 d postpartum. Breast milk chromium concentration was similar for the 3 d of collection with a mean ± SE concentration of 3.54 ± 0.40 nmol/L (0.18 ng/ mL). Dietary intake and urinary chromium values were also similar for each of the 3 collection days. Total chromium intake of lactating mothers (0.79 ± 0.08 µmol/d) was greater than that of reference female subjects (0.48 ± 0.02). There was a significant correlation (r = 0.84) between serum chromium and urinary chromium excretion. If a breast milk volume of 715 mL is assumed, chromium intake of exclusively breast-fed infants is < 2% of the estimated safe and adequate daily intake of 10 µg. In summary, breast milk chromium content is independent of dietary chromium intake and serum or urinary chromium values. Chromium intake also did not correlate with serum or urine chromium but there was a significant relationship between serum and urinary chromium concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We compared the intake of 12 micronutrients as reported on a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire with corresponding biochemical indicators of nutrient status in a sample of 57 males and 82 females aged 40-83 y. Age-, sex- and energy-adjusted correlation coefficients ranged from near zero for thiamin, vitamin A, and zinc to 0.63 for folate. Correlation coefficients between intake and the biochemical measures were > 0.30 for carotenoids, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B-12, folate, and vitamin C. Differences of 50% or more were observed between extreme quartiles of intake for mean plasma concentrations offolate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin C. Excluding nutrient supplement users generally reduced the correlations. These data demonstrate that food frequency questionnaires can provide valid information on intake for a number of micronutrients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A group of women were fed two separate diets in a crossover study and urinary eicosanoids were quantified. One diet contained 3. 1% of total energy (en%) as polyunsaturated fatty acids (3.0 en% linoleic acid) and the other contained 8.4 en% polyunsaturated fatty acids (8.3 en% linoleic acid). Carbohydrate replaced fat in the low-polyunsaturated-fat diet. No changes were observed in the urinary excretion of 6-oxo-prostaglandin F1α, its 2,3-dinor metabolite or thromboxane B2 by subjects on either of the diets. Urinary 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2 excretion was lower (206.5 ng/24 h) when subjects were fed the high-ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acid diet when compared with the lower-ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acid diet (275.3 ng/24 h). Conversely, urinary prostaglandin E2 was higher (139.2 ng/g creatinine) during the higher-ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acid diet when compared with the lower-ω6 polyunsaturated fatty diet (94.4 ng/g creatinine).

AB  - The effect of four menstrual cycle phases on changes in dietary intake, urinary nitrogen excretion, and urinary volume was examined in nine women confined to a metabolic unit, maintained at a constant activity level, and fed an ad libitum, rotating, staff-weighed diet. No significant changes in intakes of energy, protein, and fat occurred throughout the menstrual cycle although significant changes were found for intakes of ascorbic acid and water in food. A significant increase in consumption of carbonated, sugar-containing beverages was found in the luteal phase as was a significant increase in urine volume. Results suggest food choices and urine volume may be responsive to physiological regulators associated with hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. Findings also suggest that energy intake is not altered across the menstrual cycle when physical activity is controlled and an accurate dietary assessment method is employed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of calcium supplement use on iron stores was examined in a randomized controlled study in free-living, healthy, premenopausal women. Of 109 women who completed the study, 52 were in the control group and 57 took two tablets containing 250 mg Ca as the carbonate with each of two meals daily for 12 wk. In all subjects at baseline, plasma ferritin concentrations were positively correlated with heme-iron intake (r = 0.21. P = 0.04) serum iron concentration (r = 0.19, P = 0.04), transferrin saturation (r = 0.31. P = 0.001), and hemoglobin concentration (r = 0.22, P = 0.02), and negatively correlated with total iron-binding capacity (TIBC, r = -0.42. P < 0.001). No significant differences in absolute or percent changes in plasma ferritin concentrations, serum iron concentrations, TIBC, transferrin saturation, hemoglobin concentrations, or hematocrit were observed between the treatment and control groups. Thus, over a 12-wk period, use of 1000 mg Ca as the carbonate daily with meals does not appear to be detrimental to iron stores in healthy, free-living, premenopausal women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study examined postabsorptive plasma vitamin A after doses of retinyl palmitate in healthy men (n = 28) and women (n = 3 1 ). On consecutive days one physiologic [3000 retinol equivalents (RE)] and one pharmacologic dose (105 000 RE) were administered and blood samples collected. Plasma retinol and retinyl esters were measured by HPLC. Tolerance curves were constructed by plotting plasma retinyl ester concentration vs time. Postprandial retinyl ester response was measured as peak rise in retinyl ester concentration and area under the curve (AUC). Peak plasma retinyl ester concentration occurred earlier for females but the earlier peak was significant only for younger subjects (≤ 50 y, P < 0.02) given the low dose and older subjects (> 50 y, P < 0.02) given the high dose. Peak rise and AUC were lower in females than in males, but this difference was significant for the high dose only (P < 0.05). In the high-dose experiment, when each age group was evaluated for sex differences the peak rise was significantly greater in males than in females in the older subjects (P < 0.05). Postabsorptive plasma retinol did not change from fasting concentrations. A lower plasma response in retinyl esters in women could be due to a more efficient chylomieron-remnant clearance.

AB  - We examined regional changes in fat, lean, and bone tissue for > 1 y in 125 postmenopausal women. Duplicate whole-body scans were performed at 6-mo intervals. Period I was June or July to December or January and period 2 was December or January to the following June or July. Lean and bone tissue mass in the arms, legs, trunk, and whole body increased in period 1 and decreased in period 2 [eg, lean tissue in legs increased 1.84 ± 0.41% (¯x ± SE) in period 1 and decreased 2.84 ± 0.39% in period 2. P < 0.0011. In each region except the arms, fat tissue decreased in period 1 and increased in period 2. Quadriceps muscle strength was correlated with lean tissue mass of the legs [rp, (controlled for height) = 0.24, P = 0.02] and physical activity was correlated with quadriceps strength. Overall, body weight did not change significantly (0.17 ± 0.4 1% increase, P > 0.20); however, there was a net loss of 1.08 ± 0.39% (P < 0.01) in lean tissue in the legs and a net increase of 3.43 ± 1.12% (P < 0.01) in fat tissue in the trunk.

AB  - There are numerous reports in the literature of impaired gastrointestinal function with aging. However, most gastrointestinal functions remain relatively intact because of the large reserve capacity of the intestine, pancreas, and liver. Clinically important changes in gastrointestinal function with aging in human include decreased taste thresholds, hypochlorhydria due to atrophie gastritis, and decreased liver blood flow and size. Increased absorbability of lipids and large size molecules has been demonstrated in aging animals, but this has not been studied in humans. Nutrients with impaired gastrointestinal bioavail-ability in aging include dietary B-12, calcium carbonate, and ferric iron in atrophie gastritis; calcium, zinc, and possibly carbohydrate in a mixed meal. The implications of these changes for health maintenance and chronic disease in elderly people are in need of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The quality of life of aging individuals depends profoundly on their capacity for physical mobility, mental alertness, and cognitive function. Independence and self-esteem are strongly determined by physical and mental capacities. Stimulated by reports of declining function with age, investigators have examined the relationships between lifestyle factors and maintenance of functional status. Growing evidence supports the view that continued physical activity and good nutritional status are important determinants of physical and cognitive function. It is possible that some of the decline in cognitive function associated with aging is preventable or reversible with improved vitamin nutriture, especially vitamin B-12, vitamin B-6, and folate. It might well be argued that the most practical outcome of research on the relationship of diet and nutrition to the aging process would be a better understanding of the ways in which our behavior can maintain a vigorous quality of life.

AB  - <bold>Background: </bold>An estimated 1 million children die each year before their fifth birthday from diarrhea. Previous population-based surveys of pediatric diarrheal diseases have identified the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, as one of the causes of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.<bold>Methods: </bold>We prospectively studied the natural history of E. histolytica colonization and diarrhea among infants in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh.<bold>Results: </bold>Approximately 80% of children were infected with E. histolytica by the age of 2 years. Fecal anti-galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine lectin immunoglobulin A was associated with protection from reinfection, while a high parasite burden and expansion of the Prevotella copri level was associated with diarrhea.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>E. histolytica infection was prevalent in this population, with most infections asymptomatic and diarrhea associated with both the amount of parasite and the composition of the microbiota.

AB  - Hydrogels formed from biopolymers or natural sources have special advantages because they may have biodegradable and biocompatible properties. The viscoelastic properties of a newly developed biological hydrogel made from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) were investigated. The material called HPESO is a hydrolytic product of polymerized ESO (PESO). HPESO exhibited viscoelastic solid or gel behavior above 2% (wt. %) concentration at room temperature and viscous liquid behavior at 55 °C. The thermal assembly disassembly reassembly function of the HPESO hydrogel was completely reversible. The viscoelastic properties of HPESO were dependent on concentration. Analysis of modulus and concentration dependence and stress relaxation measurement indicated that HPESO was a physical gel where the cross-linkers between the molecules were physical junctions. HPESO hydrogel also exhibited fast initial recovery of its viscoelastic properties after being subjected to mechanical shear disruption. The function and behavior of the HPESO hydrogel suggest that this biomaterial may be suitable for applications in drug delivery and scaffolds of bioengineering and tissue engineering.

AB  - The self-metathesis reaction of soy, rapeseed, tall, and linseed oil fatty acids was investigated for the synthesis of symmetrical long-chain unsaturated-α, ω-dicarboxylic acids. The metathesis reactions were carried out in the presence of a Grubbs catalyst under solvent-free condition at a catalyst loading of 0.01 mol% to fatty acid substrate at 50 °C. Under these conditions, the conversions of starting unsaturated acids to metathesis products were >80% and the isolated yields of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid products were >70% of theoretical. This approach represents an effective and efficient route for the synthesis of these potentially useful dicarboxylic acids since they can serve as important intermediates in the production of several materials such as biodegradable polymers.

AB  - Carbonates (esters of carbonic acid H2CO3) are a class of compounds that are of increasing interest in commercial applications due to their physical properties and relatively straightforward synthesis. Herein, oleyl carbonate, an oleochemical-based compound derived from oleyl alcohol, was epoxidized utilizing performic acid generated in situ from formic acid and 50% H2O2. The reaction proceeded smoothly and furnished the corresponding oleyl carbonate bisepoxide, (bis[8-(3-octyloxiran-2-yl)octyl] carbonate), in good yields (83-85% isolated yields after purification by silica gel chromatography). The carbonate moiety was found stable to the reaction conditions utilized for epoxidation and the isolated oleyl carbonate bisepoxide was subsequently characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ¹H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Oleyl carbonate bisepoxide compound may be of potential interest as a plasticizer, monomer, or a substance for further chemical elaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Starting from 17-hydroxyoleic acid, which is readily available from acid alcoholysis of sophorolipids, several new polyhydroxy fatty acids have been synthesized. These compounds contain from 2 to 4 hydroxy groups, in some instances combined with other functional groups. The added hydroxy groups can be incorporated in the C18 chain in a variety of geometries, for example spaced widely throughout the chain at C1, C8, and C17. This regiochemical control will be of use in structure/ function studies involving materials constructed from these hydroxy fatty acids. A further benefit is that the hydroxy groups can be present in protected or free states. The principal reactions used to introduce extra hydroxy groups are selenium oxide-mediated allylic hydroxylation, osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation, and borohydride reduction of a carboxylic ester. These new compounds are expected to be of use in a number of areas, but particularly as building blocks for polymers or components of lubricant formulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The increase in ethanol production from corn has prompted development of processes to separate corn germ. The corn germ co-product would be a source of corn oil if a practical oil separation process were also developed. We carried out bench-scale corn-germ-pressing experiments to determine the maximum potential oil recovery which were then used to estimate commercial germ crushing costs. Corn germ was preheated in a microwave oven and oil was then extracted with a bench-scale press. Preheating the germ was necessary to obtain good oil yields. The uniform heating of the microwave oven more closely resembles compressive heating of commercial scale presses than does oven heating. Three different microscopic techniques were used to examine the effects of microwave and conventional-oven heating on corn germ. Microscopy revealed that microwave heating heated oil in the germ more quickly than the other components of the germ. Heating by both methods destroyed lipid body membranes and oil coalesced and pooled. Less oil could be pressed from germ initially containing 3-6% moisture than germ containing 15-20% moisture. Maximum oil recovery of about 65% was obtained for all germs tested when the optimum press temperature and germ feed moisture were used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Non-traditional retail outlets, including supercenters, warehouse club stores, and mass merchandisers, have nearly doubled their share of consumer food-at-home expenditures in the U.S. from 1998 to 2003. Wal-Mart supercenters have had the biggest impact on food retailing as they compete most closely with traditional supermarkets and offer many identical food items at an average price about 15%–25% lower than traditional supermarkets. We consider consumer benefits from this market share growth and estimate the effect on consumer welfare of entry and expansion into new geographic markets. We calculate the compensating variation that arises from both the direct variety effect of the entry of supercenters and the indirect price effect that arises from the increased competition that supercenters create and find the average effect of the total compensating variation to be 25% of food expenditures. Since we find that lower income households tend to shop more at these lower priced outlets, a significant decrease in consumer surplus arises from restricting entry and expansion of supercenters into new geographic markets.

AB  - Fruit from six genotypes of autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellate Thunb.); Brilliant Rose, Delightful, Jewel, Natural 1, Natural 2 and Sweet N Tart; were evaluated for fruit quality, phenolic content, carotenoids, antioxidants, antioxidant capacity, and antioxidant enzyme activity. The fruit soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acids (TA), total carotenoids, and total phenolic content varied with genotypes. Soluble solids content (SSC) in six genotypes of autumn olive ranged from 10.6 to 18.4 %, while titratable acids ranged from 0.79 to 1.29 %. Jewel had the highest SSC and Sweet N Tart had the highest TA. Fructose and glucose were the two predominant sugars, and malic acid was the predominant organic acid found in autumn olive fruit. Jewel and Sweet N Tart cultivars had the highest sugar and organic acid content among the six genotypes. Autumn olive had potent free radical scavenging activities for 2,2-di(4-tert-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·), 2,2'-azinobis(3--ethylbenzothiazoline-6 -sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS+·), peroxyl radical (ROO·), superoxide radicals (O2-·), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and singlet oxygen (¹O2). Autumn olive also had high activities of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GHS--POD), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR). Among the six genotypes, Brilliant Rose and Jewel had the highest levels of antioxidants and antioxidant enzyme activity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB  - Ocijenjena je kakvoća plodova, udio fenola, karotenoida, antioksidansa, te antioksidativna sposobnost i aktivnost enzima u plodovima šest genotipova himalajske maslinice (Elaeagnus umbellate Thunb.); Brilliant Rose, Delightful, Jewel, Natural 1, Natural 2 i Sweet N Tart. Udio topljivih tvari, titracijska kiselost, te udio ukupnih karotenoida i fenola ovisio je o genotipu ploda. Udio topljivih tvari iznosio je od 10,6 do 18,4 %, dok je titracijska kiselost bila od 0,79 do 1,29 %. Najviše topljivih tvari sadržavao je genotip Jewel, a najveću titracijsku kiselost imao je genotip Sweet N Tart. U plodu himalajske maslinice najveći je udio fruktoze i glukoze, dok je jabučna kiselina dominantna organska kiselina. Kultivari Jewel i Sweet N Tart imaju najviše šećera i organskih kiselina. Himalajska maslinica sadrži spojeve koji imaju izrazitu sposobnost uklanjanja slobodnih radikala poput 2,2 -di(4-tertoktilfenil)-1 -pikrilhidrazil (DPPH.), diamonijeve soli 2,2'-azinobis(3 -etilbenzotiazolin-6-sulfonske kiseline) (ABTS.+), peroksilnog radikala (ROO.), superoksidnog radikala (O2.-) i hidroksilnog radikala (.OH) te singletnog kisika (¹O2). U plodovima himalajske maslinice aktivni su i antioksidativni enzimi, kao što su glutation-peroksidaza, glutation-reduktaza, superoksid-dismutaza, askorbat-peroksidaza, dehidroaskorbat-reduktaza i monodehidroaskorbat-reduktaza. Od šest ispitanih genotipova Brilliant Rose i Jewel imali su najveći udio antioksidansa i najjaču antioksidativnu enzimsku aktivnost. (Croatian) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, volatile compounds, and postharvest quality of strawberry fruit were evaluated after storage in high oxygen atmospheres (40, 60, 80, and 100 kPa) during 14 days at 5 °C. Strawberries stored at high oxygen atmospheres showed higher antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, less decay, and longer postharvest life than those stored in air. Fruit stored under high oxygen atmospheres generally emitted lower levels of volatile compounds than those stored in air. However, individual volatile compounds were affected differently. While the emission of most volatiles decreased under high oxygen atmospheres during storage, the production of some volatile compounds such as methyl acetate and methyl hexanoate increased. In conclusion, strawberries stored under superatmospheric oxygen conditions maintained higher levels of antioxidant capacity but retained lower levels of volatile production than those stored in air.

AB  - The interaction between dietary ascorbic acid at extremes of ascorbic acid intake and selenium in young adult male humans was investigated with a stable-isotope approach using 74Se-selenite. Measurements were made of 74Se in plasma, urine, and feces with neutron-activation analysis after oral administration of 74SeO32-. Urine excretion and total body retention of isotope and the selenite-exchangeable metabolic pool (Se-EMP) were calculated. Limiting dietary ascorbic acid to about 20 mg/d appeared to reduce the time-related retention of absorbed selenite and the size of Se-EMP. Compared with a diet providing 1 g ascorbic acid/d the low ascorbic acid intake was associated with a lower fractional absorption of the isotope, a reduced retention of the label, and a smaller Se-EMP. These data and those previously obtained in subjects with more usual ascorbic acid intakes point to a possible important role for ascorbic acid in the maintenance of Se homeostasis.

AB  - Ten hyperinsulinemic and 11 nonhyperinsulinemic men consumed for 5 wk each in a cross-over design a diet, similar to one currently consumed in the United States, with 20% of the kilocalories from either fructose or high-amylose cornstarch to determine the effects of the two diets on various blood metabolites considered to be risk factors associated with heart disease. In the hyperinsulinemic men the intake of fructose as compared with cornstarch significantly increased total triglycerides and their lipoprotein distribution; total and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; apoproteins B-100, C-II, C-III; and uric acid. In the nonhyperinsulinemic men total triglycerides, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and uric acid were significantly greater after the consumption of fructose than after cornstarch. The results indicate that in a diet high in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, fructose increases the levels of risk factors associated with heart disease, especially in hyperinsulinemic men.

AB  - The effect of high- and low-fat diets with different levels of fatty acid unsaturation on plasma hormones involved in lipid metabolism was studied during different phases of the menstrual cycle in 31 premenopausal women. Subjects were divided into two groups and were fed controlled diets containing 39% fat with a ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (P:S) of either 0.3 or 1.0 for four menstrual cycles and then switched to a 19% fat diet with the same P:S for another four cycles. Blood samples were analyzed during both the follicular and luteal phases. A significant direct effect of level of dietary fat was observed on plasma cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate whereas an inverse relationship was seen for plasma insulin. Both plasma insulin and growth hormone levels were higher during the luteal compared with the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. None of the hormones was affected by the level of unsaturation of dietary fats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Eight young women consumed a vitamin B-6 depletion diet (egg albumen formula, < 0.05 mg vitamin B-6/d) for 11 -28 d. Subjects (n = 4) then consumed either animal protein (AP, mainly dairy and poultry products) or plant protein (PP, mainly various types of beans) diets with increasing vitamin B-6 intake (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/d) for periods of 14-21 d. All diets provided 1.55 g protein/kg body wt. Apparent protein digestibility of AP (94.6%) was significantly higher than that of PP (88.4%) diets (p < 0.001). Protein digestibility was not significantly affected by vitamin B-6 intake. Apparent nitrogen balance of subjects consuming AP diets was slightly, though not significantly, higher than that of subjects fed PP diets. N balance was not influenced by vitamin B-6 intake. Data suggest that short-term low vitamin B-6 intake does not affect protein utilization in humans as determined by digestibility and N balance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We studied 27 postmenopausal women, 9 vegetarians, 10 omnivores, and 8 apparently healthy women with breast cancer (BC), four times during 1 y. Dietary intakes were recorded and plasma androgens and sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) binding capacity were determined. Androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), free T (FT), and SHBG were higher in omnivores than in vegetarians. In multiple correlation analysis, intakes of protein and fat were positively correlated with A, T, and FT, whereas the intakes of carbohydrate, grain, total fiber, and grain fiber showed the opposite correlations. Protein intake was positively correlated with percentage FT (%FT) and negatively with SHBG. BC patients had a similar pattern to omnivores with even higher levels of A and T (significant compared with vegetarians) and they showed significantly higher FT and lower SHBG than both control groups. We conclude that a Western-type diet in postmenopausal women is associated with high A, T, %FT, FT, and low SHBG and this pattern was apparent in the BC patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Twelve men consumed a diet containing 34% of calories as 70% amylose or amylopectin starch to determine if the structure of starch could influence metabolic factors associated with abnormal states. Each starch was fed to subjects for 5 wk in a crossover design. No significant differences were observed in glucose or insulin levels when a glucose tolerance was given after 4 wk on each starch. However, glucose and insulin responses were significantly lower when a meal containing amylose compared with amylopectin was consumed after 5 wk on each starch. Summation of 0.5 through 2-h levels of insulin but not glucose were significantly lower after amylose compared with levels after amylopectin. Mean fasting triglyceride and cholesterol levels were significantly lower during the period when amylose was consumed. Long-term intake of dietary amylose may be valuable in decreasing insulin response while maintaining proper control of glucose tolerance and low levels of blood lipids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Relative bioavailability oftwo iron fortificants, electrolytic Fe and ferric orthophosphate, was related to that of the reference ferrous sulfate with in vitro and rat model depletion-repletion methods in four laboratories to compare values directly with those obtained in a parallel human study. In vitro testing was performed on Fe compounds with both solubility and dialysis in a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system. Two depletion-repletion techniques, hemoglobin-regeneration efficiency (HRE) and an official method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), were examined. AOAC relative biological values (RBV) of electrolytic Fe were 0.66 and 0.78 and of FePO4 were 0.25 and 0.34. HRE values were 0.78 and 0.58 for electrolytic Fe and FePO4, respectively. When compared with FeSO4 in a radiolabeled farina-based meal fed to humans, the RBV of FePO4 was 0.25 and electrolytic Fe 0.75. Results obtained with the AOAC method serve as the most reliable prediction of Fe bioavailability in the human although in vitro dialysis is a promising screening technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - When the fat content of the typical US diet was reduced from 40 to 44% of total energy (en %) to ~25 en % there was a marked improvement in the overall nutrient content of the diet. Cholesterol, saturated fatty acid, and monounsaturated fatty acid intake were decreased and the polyunsaturated fatty acid content was moderately increased. This kind of dietary change was achieved without changing the usual intake of meats, dairy products, fish, and eggs. As the amount of fat was decreased, carbohydrates in the form of grains, fruits, and vegetables were increased, providing an improvement in the vitamin and mineral content of the diet. Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B-6, B-12, and folates increased in the 25 en % diet. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and copper intake also increased when the dietary fat decreased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We evaluated the relation between plasma levels of carotenoids and carotenodermia in 30 men receiving carotenoid supplementation for 42 d. Five subjects each were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups: 30 mg purified β-carotene supplement, 12 mg β-carotene supplement, 272 g cooked carrots, 300 g cooked broccoli, 180 g tomato juice, and placebo. Definite carotenodermia was observed only in the five subjects who took 30 mg of purified β-carotene daily. Carotenodermia was first noted between 25 and 42 d after supplementation and persisted from 14 to > 42 d posttreatment and was observed only after plasma total carotenoid levels exceeded 4.0 mg/L. These observations may be useful to investigators planning clinical trials with β-carotene and to clinicians assessing the significance of carotenodermia in men taking fl-carotene supplements or following diets high in carotenoid-containing foods.

AB  - The major factors that affect bioavailability of vitamin 8-6 are formation of reaction products during food processing, fiber type and content, and presence of the conjugated pyridoxine glucoside. The bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from animal products is quite high, reaching 100% for many foods. In general the bioavailabibity from plant foods is lower. The presence of fiber reduces the bioavailability by 5-10% whereas the presence of pyridoxine glucoside reduces the bioavailability by 75-80%. This glucoside is found in a variety of plant foods, with the highest content occurring in the crucifers. The percent of total vitamin B-6 that exists as the glucoside has been suggested to be the best indicator of bioavailability. Data from Nepalese vegetarian lactating women suggest that the low vitamin B-6 status ofthese mothers and their infants, as determined by their concentrations of plasma pyridoxal phosphate, may be adversely affected by the dietary intake of the naturally occurring pyridoxine glucoside.

AB  - Epidemiological evidence regarding cancer causation suggests the existence of a strong link to diet-related lifestyles. Neutral sterols and bile acids constitute a group of metabolic end products known to have multiple interactions both from the standpoint of being influenced by diet as well as from the standpoint of their role in cellular and molecular processes relating to carcinogenesis. Epidemiological and experimental studies on the possible role of these steroid metabolites are reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The folate in milk is largely bound to high-affinity folate-binding protein (FBP). With an in vivo intestinal loop technique, we examined the absorption of folic acid bound to FBP (FA-FBP) in the small intestine of the suckling rat. In contrast to unbound folic acid (FA), FA-FBP is absorbed more avidly in the ileum than in the jejunum (p < 0.025) and its absorption is not inhibited by 1 mmol sulfasalazine/L. Folate-binding activities in the mucosa of the proximal (duodenum and jejunum combined) and distal (ileum) small intestine were also examined and found to be 0.32 and 1.31 pmol/mg protein, respectively (p < 0.00 1). A 6-h fast produced a 42% decrease in folate-binding activity in the distal small intestine (p < 0.01) but did not change activity in the proximal portion. Collectively, these observations suggest that FA-FBP is absorbed by a mechanism that is distinct from that responsible for the absorption of FA and that absorption does not require prior dissociation of the vitamin-binding protein complex.

AB  - Recalls of monthly family food expenditure, taken before and after maternal WIC benefits, were obtained from 4219 WIC and 785 control women; 1-wk expenditure diaries (at follow-up) were obtained from 1031 WIC and 551 control women chosen randomly. Control families had higher incomes, spent more on groceries and in restaurants, and received fewer food stamp benefits. Women probably underreported the value of WIC benefits by recall (WIC vouchers are not dollar denominated). Although control families were more affluent, there were consistent effects of children's WIC benefits on weekly family grocery expenditure by diary ($6.10,p < 0.05) and by recall ($2.14, p < 0.01, and $1.48, p < 0.05). WIC benefits to infants were associated with very large (but not significant) increments in grocery spending by diary ($7.57). WIC benefits to the pregnant woman were strongly associated with larger amounts of WIC food entering the household (as were infant and child benefits) but effects on grocery spending were unclear.

AB  - The major associations with the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in preschool children were better dietary intake associated with current WIC participation, especially for Fe, vitamin A, and vitamin C, but there were no increases in energy intake and, after infancy, no residual benefits from past WIC participation; strongest dietary effects among children who were poor, black, or in single-parent or large families (children lost to WIC were as needy as those currently enrolled); shorter stature, suggesting effective targeting (with enrollment in utero there was no parallel deficit in head circumference, which is consistent with results for newborns); better immunization and more frequent regular source of health care but no more frequent use of preventive health services; and better vocabulary with WIC participation begun in utero; better digit memory with entry into the program after the first birthday (differences that emerged only after statistical adjustment for sociodemographic factors); and more advantageous child behavior (NS).

AB  - The major associations with the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in pregnancy were increased intake of protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin C (four of five targeted nutrients) and of energy, magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, and vitamin 8-12; reversal of low weight gain in early pregnancy; smaller fat stores in late pregnancy; reduced frequency of premature rupture of the uterine membranes; larger infant head circumference with no effect on birth weight and length; increased birth weight and head circumference with better program quality; and lower fetal mortality of appreciable but not significant magnitude. Incremental energy intake was comparable to that in most small-scale supplementation trials. There was no evidence of effects on frequency of prenatal care, use of alcohol or tobacco, the intention to breast-feed, or the rate of breast-feeding. Maternal alcohol intake was associated with depressed infant head circumference, over and above effects on birth weight and length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The longitudinal study of pregnant women enrolled a national probability sample of 5205 women first certified for WIC and 1358 comparable low-income pregnant women in 174 WIC clinics located in 58 areas in the contiguous 48 states and in 55 prenatal clinics without WIC programs in counties with low program coverage. The women completed 24-h dietary recalls, histories of food expenditures, health care utilization, health and sociodemographic status, and anthropometric assessment. At late-pregnancy follow-up 3967 WIC and 1043 control women were interviewed and 853 WIC and 762 control women completed 1-wk food expenditure diaries. Birth outcome was abstracted (from hospital records) for 3863 WIC and 1058 control women. Anthropometry, dietary intake, health, and use of health services were related to WIC among 2619 random low-income preschoolers. Psychological development was assessed in 526 children aged 4 and 5 y. Control women had higher income, education, and employment status; therefore, WIC program benefits probably were underestimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As part of an exploratory study of nutrition and senile cataract relationships between biochemical markers of nutritional status and senile cataract were examined in 112 subjects aged 40-70 y. Seventy-seven subjects had a cataract in at least one lens. Blood levels were determined for total carotenoids, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin C, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin B-6, zinc, copper, selenium, and magnesium. Subjects were grouped into quintiles for each nutrient. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for cataract among subjects in the highest quintile and the middle three quintiles relative to subjects in the lowest quintile. ORs were adjusted for age, sex, race, and presence of diabetes. Results suggest that risk of cortical cataract was reduced for subjects in the highest quintile of vitamin D and total carotenoids and that persons with cataract may have lower levels of vitamin C and higher levels of vitamin B-6 and Se.

AB  - A comparison was made between the dose-to-the-mother deuterium-dilution method and the conventional test-weighing technique for determining human-milk intake in five exclusively breast-fed infants and in four breast-fed infants who received supplemental foods. After administration of ²H to the mothers human milk and infant urine were sampled over 14 d and analyzed for ²H:¹H ratios by gas-isotope-ratio mass spectrometry. Infant total body water was determined by l80 dilution. The test-weighing procedure was conducted for 5 d consecutively. The intake of human milk (mean ± SD) estimated by ²H dilution was 648 ± 63 g/d and estimated by test-weighing was 636 ± 84 g/d. The mean difference between the two methods was not significantly different from 0. The ²H-dilution and test-weighing techniques provide similar estimates of human-milk intake.

AB  - Dietary calcium and magnesium intakes of 26 Nepalese lactating women were determined from analysis of 24-h duplicate food and beverage composites. In addition, blood, urine, and milk samples were collected. The mean Ca intake of these Nepalese mothers, 482 ± 249 mg/d, was less than half that of American lactating women yet the Ca concentration of the milk was similar for the two groups of women. The Nepalese mothers appeared to main thin milk Ca concentrations by an increase in bone resorption as demonstrated by an elevated excretion of hydroxyproline. The Nepalese women had a mean Mg intake of 353 ± 28 mg/d. Two locally available foods considered special for lactating women, jwano and gundruk, were examined for nutrient content and found to contain high concentrations of Ca and Mg. Increased consumption of these locally grown foods could add substantially to the Ca and Mg intakes of these lactating women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In six villages in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal, an intensive health and nutrition study was conducted on 26 lactating women and their 2-6-month-old infants. Analysis of 24-h duplicate diet composites indicated that the mothers were consuming ~2100 kcal energy/d. The diets contained ~62 g protein (11.6% of the calories), 392 g carbohydrate (73.3% of the calories), and 20.9 g fat (8.6% of the calories) and a mean of 24 g neutral detergent fiber. Although anthropometric measurements indicated that the mothers had mild protein malnutrition and inadequate energy reserves, their infants exhibited low-normal weight and length for age. All the mothers had hepatitis A antibodies; 92% had tropical eosinophilia, indicating intestinal parasites; 16% had cheilosis and angular stomatitis, indicating a possible B-vitamin deficiency; and 8% had elevated urinary nitrite, indicating urinary tract infection. There were no unusual physical findings on the infants. Although the children appeared healthy, the mothers showed evidence of multiple infections and possible nutrient deficiencies.

AB  - We investigated the effects of a 3-mo submarine patrol upon several vitamin B-6 indices in 23 male submariners. While on patrol, 12 subjects received a multivitamin-mineral supplement that provided 0.5 mg/d vitamin B-6 and 11 subjects received a placebo. The concentrations of plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, total vitamin B-6, and urine 4-pyridoxic acid were significantly reduced during the patrol in both the placebo and the supplemented groups. The hematocrit of both groups also decreased by ~ 10% during the patrol and was not restored to prepatrol concentrations until several weeks postpatrol. Mood depressions, as measured by the Beck inventory and the depression adjective check list, were most pronounced during the 30 d before and at the beginning of the patrol. These depression measures did not correlate with the vitamin B-6 status indices, indicating that the mood depressions during a patrol do not appear to be related to the vitamin B-6 status of the submariners.

AB  - Twelve women and 1 3 men were given meals containing cornstarch with 70% of the starch in the form of amylopectin or amylose to determine if differences in glycemic response result from different chemical structure. Blood was drawn before and 30, 60, 120, and 180 mm after each meal. The meals consisted of starch crackers fed at the rate of 1 g carbohydrate from starch per kilogram body weight. The amylose meal resulted in a significantly lower glucose peak at 30 mm than did the amylopectin meal. Plasma insulin response was significantly lower 30 and 60 mm after amylose than after the amylopectin meal. Summed insulin above fasting was significantly lower after amylose while summed glucose was not significantly different between the two meals. The sustained plasma glucose levels after the amylose meal with reduced insulin requirement suggest amylose starch may be of potential benefit to carbohydrate-sensitive or diabetic individuals.

AB  - Determination of body composition by measuring total-body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) is based on the principle that body fat and fat-free mass (FFM) differ in electrical properties. In humans, we are able to estimate body composition only by indirect methods, which have been used to validate the TOBEC instrument. Relationships between TOBEC and body composition were examined using direct carcass analysis of 24 pigs differing widely in body weight and composition (48-137 kg and 14-45% fat, respectively). Highly significant correlations (p < 0.0001) were found between body conductivity and empty-body water (H2O) (r = 0.979), empty-body FFM (r = 0.980), empty-body crude protein (r = 0.962), and empty-body potassium (r = 0.949). Prediction of empty-body H2O or FFM from TOBEC had a SEE of 2.1 or 2.8 kg, respectively. Thus, the TOBEC method can predict body H2O and FFM over a wide range of body weight and fatness.

AB  - The effect of wheat bran or California small white beans in the diet on absorption of monoglutamyl (PteGlu) and heptaglutamyl folic acid (PteGlu7) was studied in six men confined to a metabolic unit. Relative folate absorption was determined by measuring 24-h urinary folate excretion and serum folate levels at 0, 1, and 2 h after ingestion of a formula meal containing 1.13 µmol PteGlu or PteGlu7 (500 µg PteGlu equivalent). Serum data showed PteGlu absorption was more rapid than PteGlu7 absorption. Urinary excretion of PteGlu7 was 63% (50 ≤ ... ≤ 76%) of PteGlu excretion. Addition of 30 g wheat bran to the formula meal accelerated PteGlu absorption whereas PteGlu7 absorption was not significantly affected by either food. Effects of the two foods were qualitatively different. Wheat bran increased the absorption of PteGlu relative to PteGlu7 whereas beans minimized the difference between PteGlu and PteGlu7 serum areas.

AB  - Sixty-two Asian Indian and American vegetarians participated in a 3-h glucose tolerance test after an overnight fast to study clinical indices of glucose homeostasis. The Asian Indians had a higher (p < 0.0035) insulinogenic score than the Americans. The Asian Indians had significantly higher insulin levels than the Americans at every sampling time during the glucose tolerance test except for the 3-h sample. The Indian men had significantly higher (p < 0.05) plasma glucose than the other three groups at 2 h after the glucose load. American subjects had higher (p < 0.0008) insulin binding to erythrocytes than the Asian Indian subjects. Scatchard analysis and competition-inhibition plots of the insulin-receptor data indicated that decreased binding in the Indian group results from a lowered number and decreased affinity of erythrocyte receptors. These results suggest that Asian Indians exhibit several clinical indications associated with an increased risk for the development of insulin-independent diabetes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In some child populations, low height-for-age, suggesting chronic undernutrition, may paradoxically be accompanied by relatively high weight-for-height, suggesting obesity. This growth pattern was investigated with anthropometric assessment and body composition studies using H2180 stable isotope dilution in 139 preschool-age Peruvian children. Results suggested low height-for-age (15th percentile National Center for Health Statistics [NCHSJ) and high weight-for-height (60th percentile NCHS). Skinfold thicknesses were lower whereas arm muscle areas were more similar to NCHS reference values. Total body water (as percent body weight) was greater than reference values, consistent with lower body fat. Differences in body proportions did not account adequately for the high weight-for-height. The data suggest that the high weight-for-height in these children is not obesity but is associated with lower body fat and greater lean tissue or lean tissue hydration that may reflect dietary, environmental, or genetic influences. Weight-for-height cutoffs for wasting or obesity may require different interpretations for different populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Eleven men consumed a basal diet alone and with cellulose (Na-carboxymeth-ylcellulose, locust bean gum, or karaya gum) added at 7.5 g fiber per 1000 calories for 4 wk each. Food, urine, and fecal composites were collected during the last 8 d of each feeding period. Bowel transit time was not significantly affected; however, total dry fecal weight was significantly increased after the refined fibers compared with that after the basal diet. Adding refined fibers to the basal diet did not significantly affect apparent mineral balance of calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, or zinc, with the exception of a negative mineral balance for manganese with carboxymethylcellulose. Karaya gum had a mean positive balance for all minerals tested.

AB  - Each year - on trace elements are published. Of these, ~75 deal with trace elements and hair. Review articles appear annually. Some of these studies demonstrate that the mean concentration of an essential trace element is lower or that of a potentially toxic element is higher in the hair of a group of people afflicted with a specific disease. Associations between hair analyses and demographic variables have been found. Fewer studies have shown a correlation between essential elements in hair of animals and the same elements in organs. It is possible to measure trace elements in hair to satisfy the skeptical chemist. Although such measurement is a necessary prelude toward medical utility, it is not sufficient. Hair analysis seems potentially useful in experimental medicine but its use in clinical medicine for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy will remain limited until validation by the standard methods of clinical investigation is achieved.

AB  - The accuracy of prediction equations for estimating lean body mass (LBM) from total-body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) was examined by cross-validation. Two samples of adults, aged 18-35 yr, were drawn from separate geographic locations. LBM was determined by densitometry and TOBEC was measured with TOBEC II instrument. LBM and TOBEC were highly correlated in both samples (r = 0.96 and 0.97). Cross-validation of LBM prediction equations was accomplished by exchanging equations and comparing predicted LBM values. There was a mean difference of 0.974 kg LBM between the two equations (p < 0.0001). Thus, data from 157 subjects were pooled and one equation was developed that incorporated height (cm), sex (males = 0, females = 1), and the zero-, first-, and second-order Fourier coefficients (FC0, FC1, and FC2) of the TOBEC phase value: LBM, kg=-36.410 + (-1.324 x sex) + (0.01185 x (FC10.5xht)) + (12.347 x FC20.5) + (0.0627 x FC0) - (0.9232 x FC2) This equation, developed from 157 subjects, accounted for 96% of the variability in LBM and had a standard error of estimate of 2.17 kg LBM.

AB  - The ability of a new total-body electrical conductivity instrument (TOBEC) to monitor changes in body composition during weight reduction was examined. Twelve moderately overweight women were confined to a metabolic unit for a period of 8 wk, 2-wk baseline and 6-wk reduction periods, during which changes in body composition were assessed by densitometry and hydrometry. Additionally, TOBEC measures were taken to predict lean body mass (LBM) changes. A total of 6.6 kg body weight was lost during the 6-wk reduction period. A decline in LBM was observed during the first 3 wk of reduction, from 47.4 to 45.7 kg, with no further LBM decline observed. Changes observed in the TOBEC phase value corresponded to the observed changes in LBM and total body water (TBW) during baseline and reduction periods. TOBEC was sensitive to small changes in LBM and TBW and may be useful for monitoring composition changes during nutritional intervention programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of our study was to investigate the validity of using capillary Mood plasma to estimate the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PIP) concentration of venous blood plasma. To accommodate the small volumes of capillary blood usually obtained, we modified the experimental conditions of the L-tyrosine apodecarboxylase (TDC) assay for PLP by increasing both the specific activity of 14C-tyrosine and the reaction incubation time. Plasma PLP concentrations determined by the TDC assay and the micromodified TDC assay were highly correlated (r = 0.995, p = 4.0 x 10-6). Using the micro-modified TDC assay, we observed no significant difference between the plasma PLP concentrations of venous and capillary (finger prick) blood from 10 healthy adults. Thus, capillary blood plasma can be used to estimate the PLP concentration of venous Mood plasma. This observation will aid in verifying data concerning the vitamin B-6 status assessment of individuals as determined by capillary blood plasma PLP concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study proposed to determine whether the stimulation of insulin secretion observed in humans infused with fructose when glucose levels were elevated could be observed when fructose was consumed during postprandial hyperglycemia. At 2-wk intervals, healthy volunteers consumed drinks containing glucose, starch, glucose followed 20 min later by fructose, starch followed 20 min later by fructose, and water followed 20 min later by fructose. Fructose consumption following glucose or starch drinks produced significantly higher levels of plasma insulin, but not plasma glucose, as compared to corresponding drinks consumed without fructose. Ten subjects whose blood glucose response levels were above 155 mg% after a glucose-containing drink appeared to be particularly responsive to the effects of fructose with increases in insulin levels of 60-288%. Results indicate that oral fructose can be insulinogenic in humans when blood glucose levels are elevated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A pilot study was conducted of males 40-45 years old from rural areas of three countries to study the long-term effects of dietary fats on the lipids of plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets. Differences were observed in cholesterol and phospholipid levels of plasma. Total phospholipids of RBCs and platelets were similar in all three countries. The pattern of individual phospholipids of RBCs in the Finnish and Italian samples differed from the American samples. In all plasma and RBC glycerolphospholipids, the monounsaturated fatty acids were highest in the Italian and the saturated fatty acids were highest in the Finnish samples; PUFAs were highest in the USA samples. Platelet glycerolphospholipids followed similar fatty acid patterns. We concluded that the fatty acid compositions of the glycerolphospholipids of plasma, RBCs, and platelets reflect the major dietary fatty acids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A second-generation total body electrical-conductivity instrument (TOBEC II) that uses convolution principles was evaluated. This study /) examined the stability of the instrument, 2) validated the relationship of total body electrical conductivity to isotopically determined total body water (TBW) and densitometrically determined lean body mass (LBM), and 3) developed prediction equations for LBM, TBW, and total body potassium using Fourier coefficients. In a sample of 40 men and women aged 19-35 yr and ranging from 6% to 36% body fat, the correlations among the zero-, first-, and second-order Fourier coefficients (FC0, FC1, FC2) with LBM were r = 0.97, 0.98, and 0.99, respectively. Similarly, the correlations with TBW were r = 0.96,0.97, and 0.98, respectively. The best prediction equation was for LBM: LBM (kg) = 22.998 + 0.102 FC0 + 0.062 FC1 - 0.29 FC2 (R² = 0.983 and SEE = 1.43 kg). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We investigated effects of moderately elevated oral doses of ascorbic acid (AS) on plasma AS turnover in healthy men after abrupt alterations in AS intake. Subjects ate a basal diet of conventional food in which only AS intake was changed. Blood specimens were collected from fasted subjects twice each week during depletion periods. Europeanized plasma was analyzed after derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. Subjects remained healthy and never became frankly scorbutic. The kinetics of log-converted plasma AS values for the depletion periods demonstrated that the slopes calculated by least squares were up to 56% higher for six of nine subjects after 600 mg AS/ day. The difference between the mean slopes (M) for loss of plasma AS was significantly different (p < 0.05, n = 6) after 60 mg AS (M = -0.0222 ± 0.0145) than after 600 mg AS (M = -0.0246 ± 0.0003). Leukocyte AS concentration decreased 44.6% in the first depletion period and 77.1% in the second. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

TEF was measured in eight men in response to meals representing 15, 30, and 45% of daily energy requirement; protein concentrations of 15, 30, and 45% of energy of the meal, and exercise intensities of 35, 50, and 65% of maximum capacity. In response to energy content of the meals, total 3-h TEF (mean ± SEM) was 4.0 ± 0.83, 9.7 ± 1.15, and 10.8 ± 0.79 1 O2 for the 15, 30, and 45% meals, respectively, indicating a positive linear and a negative quadratic relationship. Although the 15% protein meal resulted in the smallest TEF, 150-270 mm after the meal, total 5-h increase in oxygen consumption did not differ among the three protein meals. Exercise intensity did not alter TEF. Energy content of the test meal had the greatest effect on TEF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A randomized, double-blind study was conducted with 12 healthy adult males to determine the effects of oral pyridoxine supplementation on in vitro platelet aggregation. Following a 4-wk baseline period, half the subjects received 100 mg/day of pyridoxine • HCl while the remaining subjects received a placebo for 6 wk. In vitro platelet responses to ADP and collagen and the plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentrations were measured at biweekly intervals. Plasma PLP concentrations increased significantly (p < 0.001) for those receiving the vitamin B6 compared to baseline values or compared to those receiving the placebo. However, there was no significant effect of increased levels of plasma PLP on collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation and only a slight effect on ADP-stimulated aggregation. Acute administration of 100 mg pyridoxine • HCl failed to alter the in vitro response of platelets to either ADP or collagen. Reevaluation of conclusions based solely on in vitro studies suggesting the use of pyridoxine as an effective in vivo antithrombotic agent may be warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Second Conference for Federally-Supported Human Nutrition Research Units and Centers, sponsored by the Interagency Committee on Human Nutrition Research, addressed the use of stable isotopes in human nutrition and methodologies for estimating body composition. New mass spectrometers of various types are being used to study absorption, utilization, and interactions of zinc, copper, iron, calcium, and other minerals. Stable isotopes also are being used to determine differences in energy expenditure and mineral kinetics in a variety of populations including pre- and postmenopausal women. New techniques such as infrared interactance, bioelectrical impedance, total body electrical conductivity, and acoustic techniques show much promise for estimating body composition. In vivo neutron activation analysis is providing data that is rapidly becoming the gold standard for other body composition studies. Future meetings of Federally-supported nutrition research units and centers will focus on other human nutrition research topics and will be held biannually. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Twenty-four male subjects participated in a study in which the effect of feeding diets low in copper (1.03 mg/day) on plasma opiates was determined. The subjects were fed a low-copper diet for 11 wk with either starch or fructose as a major source of carbohydrate. Feeding low-copper diet decreased serum copper level significantly. In addition, plasma Ieu- and met-enkephalins decreased significantly while β-endorphin levels rose. On repletion with copper (3 mg/day) for 3 wk, plasma enkephalins increased while β-endorphin levels decreased to pretest values. These results suggest that feeding low copper decreases plasma enkephalins, which may reflect a copper-dependent process affecting enkephalin biosynthesis and/or release. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Ten men and nine women were studied to determine whether replacement of utilizable complex carbohydrate by sugars (mono- and disaccharides) in a high-fiber, low-saturated fat diet would affect indices of glucose tolerance. Diets differed in that the 50% of calories derived from carbohydrate was either 35% complex and 15% sugars (low-sugar) or 15% complex and 35% sugars (high-sugar). Summation of glucose responses 30-1 80 mm following an oral glucose tolerance test was significantly higher in men, but not women, after they consumed the high-sugar diet. Corresponding insulin responses were significantly higher in men consuming the high-sugar compared to the low-sugar diet. Insulin binding was significantly lower during the base line period and after the high-sugar diet compared to the low-sugar diet. Results indicate that sugars adversely affect indices of glucose tolerance when they replace complex carbohydrates even in a high-fiber, low-saturated fat diet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Xanthan gum (12 g/day) was fed in muffins during either the first or second half of a 12-wk period of muffin feeding, to free-living subjects. Nine subjects were diabetic, having moderately elevated serum glucose but managing without insulin or hypoglycemic drugs, and four were nondiabetic controls. Before the study and at the end of the xanthan and xanthan-free periods, bloods were taken before and 2 h after an oral glucose load. The feeding of xanthan gum lowered fasting and postload serum glucose and reduced fasting levels of total plasma cholesterol in diabetic subjects. Xanthan gum also tended to lower fasting and postload levels of gastrin and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and fasting levels of total and VLDL triglyceride and cholesterol in VLDL and LDL fractions. Subjects reported a sense of fullness after consuming xanthan muffins but no severe digestive symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Photobleaching diphenyl ether, cyclic imide and oxadiazole herbicides inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox), resulting in uncontrolled, non-enzymic oxidation of accumulated protoporphyrinogen to protoporphyrin IX (Proto). Proto accumulation is stimulated by deregulation of the porphoyrin pathway due to blockage of heme synthesis. Heme is a Proto product and a feedback inhibitor of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthesis. Strong correlations were found in several species under various conditions (e.g. sprayed on intact plants or taken up by leaf dises) between the accumulation of Proto and the degree of herbicidal damage caused by these herbicides. Levels of protochlorophyllide, Mg-Proto, or Mg-Proto monomethyl ester did not correlate significantly with herbicidal damage. Kinetic data indicated that elevated levels of protochlorophyllide in tissues treated with these herbicides only occurred after Proto had accumulated to high levels. Thus, Proto apparently re-enters the porphyrin pathway to a significant extent after other cellular sites are saturated. Fluorescence microscopy indicated that considerable amounts of Proto accumulated outside the plastid in herbicide-treated cells. All of the data were consistent with the hypothesis that Proto plays a critical role as a photosensitizing pigment in the mode of action of Protox-inhibiting herbicides and that chlorophyll precursors that are derivatives of Proto are not significantly involved in the mode of action of these herbicides.

AB  - A method is presented for estimating the persistence and concentration of residual free methyl bromide (MB) present in apples during the aeration period following fumigation. The method is based on determining the rate of decline in concentration of methyl bromide in the exhaust air stream during aeration. The rate was shown to follow two consecutive pseudo-first-order decay curves. The first component of the curve resulted primarily from removal of MB from the free air space in the chamber, and the second component resulted from the desorption of MB from the apples. Estimates of the concentration of MB residue in apples were obtained from the regression parameters for the second decay curve. The technique gave good estimates of the residue concentration over a wide range of fumigation conditions and ventilation rates, and may be useful for determining the duration of aeration period required to achieve a proposed residue tolerance of 0.2 mg kg −1 methyl bromide.

AB  - Secondary compounds serve both endogenous and exogenous functions in higher plants because they are involved in plant growth and development as well as intraspecies and interspecies interactions. Documentation of the effects of pesticides on secondary compound biosynthesis in higher plants is increasing. While several herbicides have been reported to reduce levels of secondary compounds by non-specific mechanisms, a few herbicides, such as alachlor and glyphosate, directly affect specific biosynthetic steps. Alachlor reduces flavonoid synthesis at a step late in the biosynthetic pathway, and glyphosate blocks synthesis of all cinnamate derivatives by inhibiting 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase. Inhibition of EPSP synthase also leads to the accumulation of high levels of shikimate, benzoic acids and benzoic acid derivatives. The sulfonylureas and p-nitro-substituted diphenylether (DPE) herbicides can cause increases in the level of cinnamatederived phenolic compounds and the DPEs can cause dramatic increases in terpenoid stress metabolites. Certain fungicides are thought to act through enhancing the capacity of plants to produce phytoalexins. These and other data suggest that sublethal effects of pesticides on target and non-target plants can significantly affect agricultural ecosystems by altering the synthesis of compounds important in inter- and intraspecies interactions.

AB  - Determinations were made of the desorption rate of residual free methyl bromide from fresh sweet cherries during the aeration period that followed fumigation with methyl bromide. The results showed that the desorption followed approximately pseudo-first-order kinetics. Ventilation rates during aeration, which were greater than or equal to the rates used at commercial fumigation chambers, had no effect on desorption rate. The concentration and persistence of residue was dependent on two parameters of the fumigation: the load factor, which is the ratio of the volume of cherries to the volume of the fumigation chamber, and the pulp temperature of the cherries. The relationship between load factor, pulp temperature and desorption rate was used to derive a mathematical model of the desorption of methyl bromide from cherries. The model gave good estimates of residue concentrations over a wide range of load factors, pulp temperatures and aeration periods, and was used to predict the length of the aeration period required to reduce the residue to a proposed tolerance of 0-1 mg kg−1.

AB  - The fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, was accidentally imported into the southern United States and has become a serious medical and agricultural pest of nine southeastern states and Puerto Rico. For a bait toxicant to be effective in fire ant control it must have delayed activity over a wide range of concentrations. Less than 1% of the 7500 compounds screened since 1958 has had delayed action. This paper describes several classes of fluorinated compounds that exhibit delayed activity. These compounds are used to illustrate the following three approaches to the discovery of delayed-action toxicants: (a) random screening of compounds for delayed action; (b) design of delayed activity through the synthesis of pro-insecticides; and (c) serendipity. As a result of these investigations two new classes of insecticides were discovered. A compound from one of these classes (tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-2(1 H)-pyrimidinone (3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-ethynyl)-2-propenyl-idene) hydrazone, has been commercialised, while one or more compounds from the second new chemical class (fluorinated sulphonamides) are under development. Fluorinated delayed-action insecticides have made significant contributions to current fire ant control and will no doubt play a role in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - American sycamore ( Platanus occidentals L.) seedlings grown in a hydroponics system were treated with a growth regulator, maleic hydrazide (MH) or sodium chloride, or a combination of the two. Application of maleic hydrazide or sodium chloride retarded plant growth, but combined application did not show significant interaction effects. Treatment with both sodium chloride and MH reduced the dry weight of plant tissue to a greater extent than sodium chloride application alone. Elemental analyses of various plant parts revealed that MH was generally without effect on the level of either sodium or chloride ions. In old stem tissue, however, treatment with MH had no effect in the absence of sodium chloride but was associated with lower chloride content in its presence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study examined absence rates among US Department of Energy workers who had beryllium sensitization (BeS) or were diagnosed with chronic beryllium disease (CBD) compared with those of other workers. Methods. We used the lymphocyte proliferation test to determine beryllium sensitivity. In addition, we applied multivariable logistic regression to compare absences from 2002 to 2011 between workers with BeS or CBD to those without, and survival analysis to compare time to first absence by beryllium sensitization status. Finally, we examined beryllium status by occupational group. Results. Fewer than 3% of the 19 305 workers were BeS, and workers with BeS or CBD had more total absences (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18, 1.46) and respiratory absences (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.84) than did other workers. Time to first absence for all causes and for respiratory conditions occurred earlier for workers with BeS or CBD than for other workers. Line operators and crafts personnel were at increased risk for BeS or CBD. Conclusions. Although not considered “diseased,” workers with BeS have higher absenteeism compared with nonsensitized workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The US Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Library uses Library Systems & Services' Virtual Reference Desk (VRD) to provide live reference via the Internet. Energy Library reference librarians use the VRD to conduct reference interviews by chat, take the patrons to Webpages or send Webpages, collaborate on questions, and provide transcripts for patron follow-up. The VRD allows the reference librarians to reach those who cannot or do not come to the library, and makes the librarian a reference resource for a wider audience. Discusses how Energy Library VRD patrons and their questions have transitioned from mostly DOE headquarters employees looking for codes, policies, and similar documents, to mainly non-DOE people seeking information.

AB  - Easy access to large collections of historical survey and census data and the associated metadata that describe them has long been the goal of researchers and analysts. Solutions to problems such as understanding the behavior of current survey data, respondent burden, improved statistical techniques, and data quality are often found in the careful analysis of historical data. Many questions have gone unanswered because the data were not readily available, access was limited, metadata were not well defined, or query performance was intolerably slow. Describes some database modeling techniques that permit end users fast and easy access to large amounts of microlevel data contained in different data systems and from different time frames. Discusses techniques for tracking metadata changes and standardization. Presents a generalized dimensional model that can be used for any census or survey to track the full history of the data series.

AB  - The USDA's Nutrition Evidence Library (NEL) specializes in conducting food- and nutrition-related systematic reviews that are used to inform federal government decision making. To ensure the utility of NEL systematic reviews, the most relevant topics must be addressed, questions must be clearly focused and appropriate in scope, and review frameworks must reflect the state of the science. Identifying the optimal topics and questions requires input from a variety of stakeholders, including scientists with technical expertise, as well as government policy and program leaders. The objective of this article is to describe the rationale and NEL methodology for identifying topics and developing systematic review questions implemented as part of the 'Evaluating the evidence base to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to 24 months of age in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans--the B-24 Project.' This is the first phase of a larger project designed to develop dietary guidance for the birth to 24-mo population in the United States.

AB  - The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are the cornerstone of US government efforts to promote health and prevent disease through diet and nutrition. The DGA currently provides guidelines for ages ≥2 y. In an effort to determine the strength of the evidence to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to age 24 mo, the partner agencies led by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and the USDA Center for Nutrition Program and Policy initiated the project entitled 'Evaluating the evidence base to support the inclusion of infants and children from birth to 24 months of age in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans--the B-24 Project.' This project represents the first step in the process of applying systematic reviews to the process of deciding whether the evidence is sufficient to include this age group in future editions of the DGA. This supplement includes the B-24 Executive Summary, which describes the B-24 Project and the deliberations of the 4 working groups during the process of developing priority topics for the systematic review, and a research agenda to address the critical gaps. Also included in this supplement issue is an article on the Nutrition Evidence Library methodology for developing systematic review questions and articles from the invited content presenters at the B-24 Prime meeting.

AB  - Introduction: Park amenities promote visitation and physical activity during summer. Physical activity declines during winter. Identifying park amenities that promote visitation during winter would increase year-round activity. The purpose of this study was to determine how park visitation, amenity choice, and physical activity intensity change across seasons.Methods: Physical activity intensity of children and adults was assessed at 16 parks in Grand Forks, North Dakota, during summer and fall of 2012, and winter and spring of 2013.Results: Park visitation was highest in spring and lowest in winter. Amenity use varied by season. Parks with water splash pads were visited more during summer, and playgrounds and open spaces were visited more during spring. Ice rinks were visited most in winter. Physical activity intensity was lowest in summer and highest in winter for each age group. The activity intensity observed for all young age groups ranged from 2.7 to 2.9 metabolic equivalents in summer and greater than 3 metabolic equivalents in all other seasons. Adults' mean activity intensity was greater than 3 metabolic equivalents in winter.Conclusion: Information on park visitation, amenity use, and activity intensity across seasons is valuable; it can be used when designing or redesigning parks in order to promote year-round physical activity. Redesigning parks in cold climates to include ice rinks, sledding hills, cross-country skiing, and indoor areas for physical activity would increase winter visitation and allow the park to serve as a year-round resource for physical activity.

AB  - Introduction: Effective strategies are needed to reach and treat people who lack awareness of or have uncontrolled hypertension. We used data from a community-based participatory research initiative, Hub City Steps, to quantify the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and determine the relationship between hypertension status at baseline and postintervention improvements in blood pressure and health-related quality of life.Methods: Hub City Steps was a 6-month preintervention-postintervention lifestyle intervention targeting hypertension risk factors. Outcome measures were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Generalized linear mixed models were used to test for effects by time and hypertension status.Results: Of the enrolled sample (N = 269), most were overweight or obese (91%), African American (94%), and women (85%). When considering hypertension status, 42% had self-reported diagnosis of hypertension (self-reported subgroup; 84% with antihypertensive medication use); 36% had no self-reported medical history of hypertension, but when blood pressure was measured they had a clinical diagnosis of prehypertension or hypertension (undiagnosed subgroup); and 22% had no self-reported or clinical hypertension diagnosis (no hypertension subgroup). From baseline to 6 months, systolic blood pressure significantly improved for participants with self-reported hypertension [8.2 (SD, 18.2) mm Hg] and undiagnosed hypertension [12.3 (SD, 16.3) mm Hg], with undiagnosed participants experiencing the greatest improvements (P < .001). Effects remained significant after controlling for covariates. Health-related quality of life significantly improved for all 3 hypertension subgroups, with no apparent subgroup differences.Conclusion: This study reveals advantages of a culturally appropriate community-based participatory research initiative to reach those with undetected hypertension and effectively improve blood pressure status and health-related quality of life.

N2  - From 1992 through early 2004, crude oil prices were predictable by using OECD's relative inventories and OPEC's excess production capacity. However, since 2004, estimated inventories and excess production capacity under-predict crude oil prices. Using 3-D graphical analyzes, three regimes are identified in crude oil markets during the period from January 1992 to December 2007, reflecting market conditions and OPEC policy changes. These graphics show the changing relationship between crude oil price, inventories, and excess production capacity. To reflect this, a ratchet variable, derived from cumulative excess production capacity, is incorporated into the forecasting model to reflect the changing behavior on both demand and supply sides. This model provides improved forecasts for the post Gulf War I time period over models without the ratchet mechanism.

N2  - Significant increases in prices and price volatility of natural gas and electricity have raised interest in the potential economic opportunities for electricity storage. In this paper, we analyze the arbitrage value of a price-taking storage device in PJM during the six-year period from 2002 to 2007, to understand the impact of fuel prices, transmission constraints, efficiency, storage capacity, and fuel mix. The impact of load-shifting for larger amounts of storage, where reductions in arbitrage are offset by shifts in consumer and producer surplus as well as increases in social welfare from a variety of sources, is also considered.

N2  - Twenty-nine scholars from public and private universities, non-profit organizations, and the federal government participated in a National Research Symposium on Financial Literacy and Education in October 2008 in Washington, DC. The purpose was to identify critical research questions that could inform outcomes-based financial education, relevant public policy, and effective practice leading to personal and family financial literacy. Following the symposium, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a comprehensive report. This paper summarizes the key findings and recommendations from the report and how researchers can use this information to extend the breadth and depth of research in the area of financial literacy and education.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Low dietary intakes and low plasma concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). No studies have challenged AMD patients with a diet high in lutein and zeaxanthin. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the effect of diets low or high in lutein and zeaxanthin on plasma carotenoids and their transport in AMD patients. DESIGN: Seven AMD patients and 5 control subjects were fed a low-lutein, low-zeaxanthin diet ( approximately 1.1 mg/d) for 2 wk, which was followed by a high-lutein, high-zeaxanthin diet ( approximately 11 mg/d) for 4 wk. Ten subjects continued the diet for 8 wk. Plasma and lipoprotein carotenoids were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: The high-lutein, high-zeaxanthin diet resulted in 2- to 3-fold increases in plasma concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin and other carotenoids, except lycopene, in the AMD patients and the control subjects. With this diet, 52% of the lutein and 44% of the zeaxanthin were transported by HDL; approximately 22% of lutein and zeaxanthin was transported by LDL. Only 20-25% of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and lycopene was transported by HDL; 50-57% was transported by LDL. CONCLUSIONS: The AMD patients and control subjects responded similarly to a diet high in lutein and zeaxanthin; plasma carotenoid concentrations increased greatly in both groups, and the transport of carotenoids by lipoproteins was not significantly different between the groups. This finding suggests that abnormalities in the metabolism of lutein and zeaxanthin in AMD may reside in the uptake of lutein and zeaxanthin from the plasma and transport into the retina.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Few calcium balance data are available from young children on which to base dietary recommendations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to evaluate the relation between calcium intake and balance in healthy children aged 1-4 y consuming typical American diets. DESIGN: Subjects were assigned to a diet with nutrient intakes similar to those of their usual diet. Calcium absorption was assessed by using a dual-tracer stable-isotope technique. Endogenous fecal excretion was measured in a subset of children, and net calcium balance was calculated. RESULTS: Mean calcium intake was 551 mg/d (range: 124-983 mg/d), and mean (+/-SEM) calcium retention was 161 +/- 17 mg/d. Both linear and nonlinear modeling of balance data showed that a calcium intake of approximately 470 mg/d led to calcium retention of 140 mg/d, which is the amount that meets expected bone growth needs in children of this age. No evidence was found that calcium intakes of 800 to 900 mg/d reached the threshold intake beyond which no additional increase in calcium retention would occur. CONCLUSIONS: Bone growth needs in 1-4-y-old children following American diets are met by a daily calcium intake of approximately 470 mg/d, which suggests that the current Adequate Intake of 500 mg/d is close to the actual Estimated Average Requirement. The benefits and risks of higher calcium intakes consistent with threshold values should be evaluated in a controlled trial before those intakes could be used as a basis for dietary recommendations.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The use of stable isotopes has provided valuable insights into iron absorption in humans, but the data have been limited to nonheme iron. OBJECTIVE: Our objectives were to produce heme iron enriched in (58)Fe and to use it to study the absorption of heme iron and the effect of iron and zinc intakes on heme-iron absorption in children. DESIGN: Labeled bovine heme was produced in a bovine model. Forty-eight children were randomly assigned to consume identical meals containing 1 of 3 doses of labeled heme iron (2, 4, or 8 mg as hemoglobin) and 1 of 2 doses of inorganic zinc (1 or 9 mg); successful measurements of iron absorption, zinc absorption, or both were made in 40 of these subjects. We hypothesized that fractional heme-iron absorption would decrease as heme-iron intake increased and that higher zinc intakes would decrease heme-iron absorption. RESULTS: (58)Fe heme was produced with an enrichment (mass/mass) of 9.5%. Fractional iron absorption in children was significantly affected by the intake of heme iron (P = 0.0013) and of zinc (P = 0.0375), but, contrary to expectations, heme-iron absorption was higher at higher zinc intakes. Absolute heme-iron absorption was higher in the group with higher zinc intakes, but only for those with the lowest heme-iron intake (2 mg; P = 0.0147). Although fractional zinc absorption decreased as zinc intake increased (P = 0.031), absolute zinc absorption continued to increase across the intake range studied (P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Heme iron intrinsically labeled with (58)Fe can be produced at sufficient enrichments for use in human studies. In children, heme iron and zinc absorption decrease as the dose of each mineral increases. Heme iron did not inhibit zinc absorption. At lower heme intakes, zinc intakes may increase heme-iron absorption. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Historic reports on the treatment of pernicious anemia with folic acid suggest that high-level folic acid fortification delays the diagnosis of or exacerbates the effects of vitamin B-12 deficiency, which affects many seniors. This idea is controversial, however, because observational data are few and inconclusive. Furthermore, experimental investigation is unethical. OBJECTIVE: We examined the relations between serum folate and vitamin B-12 status relative to anemia, macrocytosis, and cognitive impairment (ie, Digit Symbol-Coding score < 34) in senior participants in the 1999-2002 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. DESIGN: The subjects had normal serum creatinine concentrations and reported no history of stroke, alcoholism, recent anemia therapy, or diseases of the liver, thyroid, or coronary arteries (n = 1459). We defined low vitamin B-12 status as a serum vitamin B-12 concentration < 148 pmol/L or a serum methylmalonic acid concentration > 210 nmol/L-the maximum of the reference range for serum vitamin B-12-replete participants with normal creatinine. RESULTS: After control for demographic characteristics, cancer, smoking, alcohol intake, serum ferritin, and serum creatinine, low versus normal vitamin B-12 status was associated with anemia [odds ratio (OR): 2.7; 95% CI: 1.7, 4.2], macrocytosis (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.01, 3.3), and cognitive impairment (OR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.6, 3.8). In the group with a low vitamin B-12 status, serum folate > 59 nmol/L (80th percentile), as opposed to < or = 59 nmol/L, was associated with anemia (OR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.5, 6.6) and cognitive impairment (OR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.1, 6.1). In the normal vitamin B-12 group, ORs relating high versus normal serum folate to these outcomes were < 1.0 (P(interaction) < 0.05), but significantly < 1.0 only for cognitive impairment (0.4; 95% CI: 0.2, 0.9). CONCLUSION: In seniors with low vitamin B-12 status, high serum folate was associated with anemia and cognitive impairment. When vitamin B-12 status was normal, however, high serum folate was associated with protection against cognitive impairment. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Antioxidant nutrient deficiencies may hasten the progression of HIV disease by impairing antioxidant defenses. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine whether HIV infection is associated with poor selenium status and low antioxidant protection by glutathione and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). DESIGN: In a cross-sectional study of 365 HIV-positive and HIV-negative adolescents and young adults, we examined the relation of plasma selenium, whole-blood glutathione, and whole-blood GPX to HIV status, disease severity, immune activation, and oxidative damage. RESULTS: Selenium deficiency (plasma selenium < 0.070 microg/mL) was not seen in any subjects, and plasma selenium in 244 HIV-positive subjects (0.120 +/- 0.0013 microg/mL) did not differ significantly (P = 0.071) from that in 121 HIV-negative subjects (0.125 +/- 0.0020 microg/mL) . However, multiple regression analysis after adjustment for covariates showed a significant (P = 0.002) negative association between HIV-associated immune activation (plasma neopterin) and plasma selenium concentrations. GPX activity was highest in HIV-positive subjects taking antiretroviral therapy (median: 14.2; 25th, 75th percentiles: 11.1, 18.7 U/mL; n = 130), intermediate in HIV-positive subjects not taking antiretroviral therapy (11.8; 9.4, 15.1 U/mL; n = 114), and lowest in HIV-negative subjects (10.6; 8.6, 12.7 U/mL; n = 121; P < 0.05 for all comparisons). GPX was also positively associated with malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative damage. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects had adequate selenium status, although HIV-related immune activation was associated with lower plasma selenium concentrations. GPX activity appears to have been induced by the oxidative stress associated with HIV infection and use of antiretroviral therapy. Thus, young, well-nourished subjects can mount a compensatory antioxidant response to HIV infection. Copyright © 2007 American Society for Nutrition

N2  - The 2005 Dietary Guidelines were unique because they offered quantitative recommendations for consumption of whole-grains. This case study examines the hypothesis that the changed recommendations were responsible for the recent increase in retail sales and consumption of whole-grain food products. We find that release of the Dietary Guidelines and related media attention did increase availability and sales of whole-grain foods. A large impact on consumption occurred through reformulation of existing products, induced by competition among food suppliers. This study reveals the key role product reformulation plays in inter-firm competition and in realization of dietary changes recommended by public policy.

N2  - Previous studies using consumer surveys based on contingent valuations gave inconsistent or even contradictory results with respect to the impact of some consumer characteristics on organic foods consumption. Using actual retail-level data, this study provides an objective view of the consumers' social economic characteristics related to the growth of the fresh organic produce market with a generalized double hurdle model. Market participation and conditional/unconditional consumption elasticities were computed for the generalized double hurdle model.

N2  - The crop insurance program has grown significantly since passage of the 2002 Farm Bill. Total premiums more than doubled from $2.9 billion in 2002 to $6.6 billion in 2007. This growth in the crop insurance program is due to a combination of greater participation by growers at higher levels of coverage, an increased number of crops with coverage available, and a general rise in commodity prices. Not unexpectedly, there has been a corresponding increase in the cost of program delivery. The total amount of expense subsidy and underwriting gains paid to crop insurance companies increased from around $1 billion in 2001 to over $2.5 billion in 2007.

AB  - A phenotypically and geographically diverse collection of 45 Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes was evaluated for its reaction to the northern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla) under greenhouse conditions. A significant ecotype effect was observed for both criteria used for host reaction assessment: namely, root-gall rating (RGR) and nematode reproductive index (RI). A non-host (non-galling) response was not detected in this germplasm collection. The majority of the ecotypes showed high degrees of RGR and RI. However, some medium-late maturing ecotypes such as ‘CS-1540’ and ‘CS-6028’ (both collected in the UK) displayed high RGR but in association with very reduced RI. The confirmation of A. thaliana as an experimental host of M. hapla and the identification of differential levels of response to infection by this endoparasitic nematode provides the opportunity for genetic and molecular characterization of a new set of plant genes expressed during plant–nematode interaction. A. thaliana is the smallest and the best characterized genome among plant species, which may facilitate gene isolation and cloning. This may hasten transgenic transfer to economically important host plants of the genetic factors controlling low RI levels identified in some A. thaliana ecotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The use of microspore or anther culture to generate doubled-haploids (DH) is an important adjunct to broccoli breeding. Regenerated populations from broccoli anther culture are usually mixtures of ploidy. However, ploidy composition of populations derived from microspore culture has not been reported. The purpose of the present study was to characterize regenerants derived from microspore culture, to evaluate factors influencing these characteristics and to compare results with those from anther culture. Eight populations, four from each culture method, were generated simultaneously using the same four F1 hybrids as donor parents. The ploidy level of all regenerants was determined by DNA flow cytometry: the majority of them were diploid. As in anther culture, a mixture of ploidy was observed in all populations derived from microspore culture. Ploidy variation was more frequent among clonal families from anther culture (10%) than microspore culture (5%). ‘Everest’ was the most productive donor parent with both methods, while ‘Greenbelt’ and ‘Major’ were least productive in anther and microspore culture, respectively. Genotype specificity for the total number of regenerated plants and ploidy composition occurred in both culture methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using a 1,3-regioselective lipase as a catalyst, soybean oil and olive oil were interesterified with the short-chain triacylglycerol tributyrin (1,2,3-tributyrylglycerol) to produce mixtures of structured triacylglycerols (SL-TAG). The SL-TAG were purified by column chromatography and analyzed by both normal-phase (silica column; NPSIL) and reversed-phase [octadecyl silane (ODS) column] high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Individual SL-TAG molecular species were detected by evaporative light-scattering detection, and characterized by mass spectrometry. NPSIL HPLC successfully separated the newly synthesized SL-TAG into two groups of TAG: one composed of one butyryl group and two long-chain fatty acyl groups (from soybean or olive oil); the second was composed of two butyryl groups and one long-chain fatty acyl group. The SL-TAG species were further analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC which gave a more detailed separation of the TAG species present in the two SL-TAG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In an effort to reduce the production cost of biodiesel, we previously described an approach termed "in situ transesterification" wherein the transesterification of a vegetable oil occurred directly in its raw agricultural material. In that method, substantial quantities of reagents were required to achieve high-efficiency transesterification. Here we report that by drying the substrate a marked reduction in the reagent requirements was achieved. Reaction conditions for maximum fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) production were identified using statistical experimental design methods. In 16-h reactions with 5 g of flakes (2.6% moisture) and 18 mL of 0.10 N NaOH in methanol, 97% theoretical maximum transesterification was achieved. For dry flakes, optimal transesterification was achieved in 10 h in reactions containing 5 g of flakes and 12 mL of 0.10 N NaOH in methanol. This represented a 60% reduction in methanol and a 56% reduction in NaOH use compared with the transesterification of full-moisture flakes. Under these conditions the degree of transesterification was 100% of the theoretical maximum. The transesterification of 20 kg of flakes with a moisture content of 0.8% was conducted under optimal reaction conditions. Both triacylglycerols (TAG) and phosphoacylglycerols (PL) were transesterified to high degrees, with an overall efficiency of 97.3% of the maximum theoretical efficiency. PL were not detected in the flakes following transesterification, and the amount of remaining un-reacted TAG was only 1.0% of that input. Following washes with water, 0.5 M NaCl, and dilute NaOH, the recovered FAME met the ASTM specifications for biodiesel. The tocopherol levels of the FAME exceeded by 76% those of a representative commercial biodiesel. Soy flakes retained 97% of their protein following in situ transesterification.

AB  - A qualitative method for detection of peanuts in foods using polymerase chain reaction was developed. A universal primer pair CP 03-5′/CP 03-3′ was designed to confirm the validity of the DNAs for PCR. The plant-specific amplified fragments were detected from 13 kinds of plants using the universal primer pair. In addition, for the specific detection of peanuts with high sensitivity, the primer pair agg 04-5′/agg 05-3′ was designed to detect the gene encoding the peanut agglutinin precursor. The primer pair specifically generates a 95-bp amplified fragment from peanut genomic DNA. Five hundred femto grams of peanut genomic DNA can be detected using the established method. The same qualitative results were obtained from both model processed and nonprocessed food samples containing 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1% of peanut. Moreover, it was shown that the trace amount of peanut in the commercial food products could be qualitatively detected using this method. The reproducibility and applicability of the proposed methods were verified in a six-laboratory collaborative study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Children with edematous but not nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) have lower plasma and erythrocyte-free concentrations of cysteine and methionine, which suggests a decreased availability of methionine for cysteine synthesis. We propose that methionine production and metabolism will be slower in children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to measure methionine flux, its transmethylation and its transsulfuration, and homocysteine remethylation in children with SCU. DESIGN: Methionine kinetics were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n = 11) and nonedematous (n = 11) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they had recovered (clinical phase 3). RESULTS: At clinical phase 1, children with edematous SCU had rates of total methionine flux, flux from protein breakdown, and flux to protein synthesis that were slower than the rates of the nonedematous group. There were no significant differences in homocysteine remethylation or methionine transsulfuration and transmethylation between the groups at clinical phase 1. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that, in the acutely malnourished and infected state, children with edematous SCU have slower methionine production than do children with nonedematous SCU because of a slower rate of release from protein breakdown. This slower methionine production is not, however, associated with slower rates of methionine transsulfuration and transmethylation or homocysteine remethylation.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Children with edematous but not nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) have lower plasma and erythrocyte-free concentrations of cysteine, the rate-limiting precursor of glutathione synthesis. We propose that these lower cysteine concentrations are due to reduced production secondary to slower de novo synthesis plus decreased release from protein breakdown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to measure cysteine production, de novo synthesis, and the rate of cysteine release from protein breakdown in children with SCU. DESIGN: Cysteine flux, de novo synthesis, and release from protein breakdown were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n = 11) and nonedematous (n = 11) SCU when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they had recovered (clinical phase 3). RESULTS: In clinical phase 1, cysteine production and its release from protein breakdown were slower in both groups of children than were the values in the recovered state. These kinetic variables were significantly slower, however, in the children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. De novo cysteine synthesis in clinical phase 1 was faster than the rate at recovery in the edematous SCU group, and there were no significant differences between the groups at any clinical phase. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that cysteine production is reduced in all children with SCU because of a decreased contribution from protein breakdown and not from decreased de novo synthesis. The magnitude of this reduction, however, is much greater in children with edematous SCU than in those with nonedematous SCU. Copyright © 2006 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Soft drink consumption may have adverse effects on bone mineral density (BMD), but studies have shown mixed results. In addition to displacing healthier beverages, colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid (H(3)PO(4)), which may adversely affect bone. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that consumption of cola is associated with lower BMD. DESIGN: BMD was measured at the spine and 3 hip sites in 1413 women and 1125 men in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dietary intake was assessed by food-frequency questionnaire. We regressed each BMD measure on the frequency of soft drink consumption for men and women after adjustment for body mass index, height, age, energy intake, physical activity score, smoking, alcohol use, total calcium intake, total vitamin D intake, caffeine from noncola sources, season of measurement, and, for women, menopausal status and estrogen use. RESULTS: Cola intake was associated with significantly lower (P < 0.001-0.05) BMD at each hip site, but not the spine, in women but not in men. The mean BMD of those with daily cola intake was 3.7% lower at the femoral neck and 5.4% lower at Ward's area than of those who consumed <1 serving cola/mo. Similar results were seen for diet cola and, although weaker, for decaffeinated cola. No significant relations between noncola carbonated beverage consumption and BMD were observed. Total phosphorus intake was not significantly higher in daily cola consumers than in nonconsumers; however, the calcium-to-phosphorus ratios were lower. CONCLUSIONS: Intake of cola, but not of other carbonated soft drinks, is associated with low BMD in women. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Current recommendations for magnesium requirements are based on sparse balance data. OBJECTIVE: To provide new estimates of the average magnesium requirement for men and women, we pooled magnesium data from 27 different tightly controlled balance studies conducted at the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND. DESIGN: Magnesium balance data (magnesium intake - [fecal magnesium + urinary magnesium]) (664 data points) were collected from 243 subjects (women: n = 150; weight: 71.6 +/- 16.5 kg; age: 51.3 +/- 17.4 y; men: n = 93, weight: 76.3 +/- 12.5 kg; age: 28.1 +/- 8.1 y). Data from the last 6-14 d of each dietary period (>/=28 d) of each study were analyzed and were excluded if individual intakes of calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, or zinc fell below respective estimated average requirements (EARs) or exceeded 99th percentiles of usual intakes of those elements (iron: above the upper limit) from the 1994 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Daily intakes of magnesium ranged between 84 and 598 mg. The relation between magnesium intake and magnesium output was investigated by fitting random coefficient models. RESULTS: The models predicted neutral magnesium balance [defined as magnesium output (Y) equal to magnesium intake (M)] at magnesium intakes of 165 mg/d [95% prediction interval (PI): 113, 237 mg/d; Y = 19.8 + 0.880 M], 2.36 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) (95% PI: 1.58, 3.38 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1); Y = 0.306 + 0.870 M), or 0.075 mg x kcal(-1) x d(-1) (95% PI: 0.05, 0.11 mg x kcal(-1) x d(-1); Y = 0.011 + 0.857 M). Neither age nor sex affected the relation between magnesium intake and output. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest a lower magnesium requirement for healthy men and women than estimated previously.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Genetic and environmental contributions to childhood obesity are poorly delineated. OBJECTIVE: The Viva la Familia Study was designed to genetically map childhood obesity and its comorbidities in the Hispanic population. The objectives of this report were to describe the study design and to summarize genetic and environmental contributions to the phenotypic variation in obesity and risk factors for metabolic diseases in Hispanic children. DESIGN: The Viva la Familia cohort consisted of 1030 children from 319 families selected based on an overweight proband between the ages of 4 and 19 y. In-depth phenotyping to characterize the overweight children and their siblings included anthropometric and body-composition traits by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and assessments of diet by 24-h recalls, physical activity by accelerometry, and risk factors for metabolic diseases by standard biochemical methods. Univariate quantitative genetic analysis was used to partition phenotypic variance into additive genetic and environmental components by using the computer program SOLAR. RESULTS: Sex, age, and environmental covariates explained 1-91% of the phenotypic variance. Heritabilities of anthropometric indexes ranged from 0.24 to 0.75. Heritability coefficients for the body-composition traits ranged from 0.18 to 0.35. Diet and physical activity presented heritabilities of 0.32 to 0.69. Risk factors for metabolic diseases were heritable with coefficients ranging from 0.25 to 0.73. Significant genetic correlations between obesity traits and risk factors for metabolic diseases substantiated pleiotropy between traits. CONCLUSION: The Viva la Familia Study provides evidence of a strong genetic contribution to the high prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities in Hispanic children.

AB  - BACKGROUND: A variety of soybean oils were developed with improved oxidative stability and functional characteristics for use as alternatives to partially hydrogenated fat. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to assess the effect of selectively bred and genetically modified soybean oils with altered fatty acid profiles, relative to common soybean and partially hydrogenated soybean oils, on cardiovascular disease risk factors. DESIGN: Thirty subjects (16 women and 14 men) aged >50 y with LDL-cholesterol concentrations >130 mg/dL at screening consumed 5 experimental diets in random order for 35 d each. Diets contained the same foods and provided 30% of energy as fat, of which two-thirds was either soybean oil (SO), low-saturated fatty acid soybean oil (LoSFA-SO), high-oleic acid soybean oil (HiOleic-SO), low-alpha-linolenic acid soybean oil (LoALA-SO), or partially hydrogenated soybean oil (Hydrog-SO). RESULTS: Plasma phospholipid patterns reflected the predominant fat in the diet. LDL-cholesterol concentrations were 3.66 +/- 0.67(b), 3.53 +/- 0.77(b), 3.70 +/- 0.66(b), 3.71 +/- 0.64(a,b), and 3.92 +/- 0.70(a) mol/L; HDL-cholesterol concentrations were 1.32 +/- 0.32(a,b), 1.32 +/- 0.35(b), 1.36 +/- 0.33(a), 1.32 +/- 0.33(b), and 1.32 +/- 0.32(a,b) mol/L for the SO, LoSFA-SO, HiOleic-SO, LoALA-SO, and Hydrog-SO diets, respectively (values with different superscript letters are significantly different, P < 0.05). No significant effects were observed on VLDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerol, lipoprotein(a), and C-reactive protein concentrations or on ratios of LDL cholesterol to apolipoprotein B (apo B) and HDL cholesterol to apo A-I. Total cholesterol:HDL cholesterol was lower after subjects consumed the unhydrogenated soybean oils than after they consumed the Hydrog-SO diet. CONCLUSIONS: All varieties of soybean oils resulted in more favorable lipoprotein profiles than did the partially hydrogenated form. These soybean oils may provide a viable option for reformulation of products to reduce the content of trans fatty acids. Copyright © 2006 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Arginine is important in the response to infections and is a precursor for the synthesis of the vasodilator nitric oxide (NO). Low plasma arginine is correlated with a worse prognosis in patients with sepsis, and increased NO has been implicated in the hypotension of sepsis. Data on in vivo arginine and NO kinetics are lacking in hypotensive septic adults. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to measure in vivo arginine production and the intravascular NO synthesis rate in hypotensive septic patients. DESIGN: Arginine flux and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of plasma NO were measured in fasted healthy (n = 10) and hypotensive septic (n = 6) adults by using a 6-h constant infusion of [(15)N(2)-guanidino]arginine. Urinary excretion of the NO metabolites nitrite and nitrate (NOx) and plasma concentrations of NOx, arginine, and creatinine were also measured. RESULTS: All patients had hyperdynamic septic shock and impaired renal function. Compared with the control subjects, the patients had slower arginine flux (99 +/- 8 compared with 50 +/- 7 mumol . kg(-1) . h(-1); P < 0.01), lower plasma arginine concentrations (75 +/- 8 compared with 40 +/- 11 mumol/L; P < 0.01), higher plasma NOx concentrations (30 +/- 4 compared with 65 +/- 1.8 mumol/L), and a slower fractional synthesis rate of NOx. There was no significant difference in the absolute synthesis rate of NOx between groups. In patients with sepsis, the plasma NOx concentration correlated with the glomerular filtration rate and plasma creatinine but not with mean arterial pressure. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with septic shock have a shortage in the availability of arginine associated with a slower production. Impaired renal excretion of NOx is a contributor to the high plasma NOx in these patients. Copyright © 2006 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Although hepcidin is proposed as a regulator of iron absorption, this has not been assessed in humans. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to assess the relation between serum or urinary prohepcidin and iron absorption in healthy premenopausal women. DESIGN: The subjects were 28 healthy women aged 22-51 y with normal hemoglobin concentrations (120-152 g/L). Absorption of 0.5 mg Fe with 0.2 muCi (59)Fe tracer, both as FeSO(4), was measured by whole-body scintillation counting 13 d after oral administration. Fasting blood and urine samples were collected the day of and 16 wk after the absorption measurement. Serum and urinary prohepcidin concentrations were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using an antibody against amino acid residues 28-47 of the proregion. RESULTS: Mean (+/-SD) iron absorption was 36 +/- 19% (range: 4-81%), and serum ferritin (geometric x) was 27 mug/L (range: 4-122 mug/L), as commonly observed in healthy premenopausal women. Serum prohepcidin was 196 mug/L (range: 99-376 mug/L) and, in contrast with urinary prohepcidin, was relatively consistent for the women between 0 and 16 wk. Serum prohepcidin correlated directly with serum ferritin (R(2) = 0.28, P < 0.01) but was unrelated to (59)Fe absorption, in contrast to serum ferritin (R(2) = 0.33, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Serum prohepcidin concentrations were relatively stable within subjects and correlated with serum ferritin. However, unlike serum ferritin, neither serum nor urinary prohepcidin concentrations were related to iron absorption in healthy women. Copyright © 2006 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Background: Although nutritionally dispensable amino acids are not essential in the diet, from a biochemical standpoint, dispensable amino acids such as glycine are essential for life. This is especially true under unique circumstances, such as when the availability of labile nitrogen for dispensable amino acid synthesis is reduced, as in severe childhood undernutrition.Objective: We aimed to measure glycine production in children with edematous and nonedematous severe childhood undernutrition. Design: Glycine flux and splanchnic glycine extraction were measured in 2 groups of children with edematous (n = 8) and nonedematous (n = 9) severe childhood undernutrition when they were infected and malnourished (clinical phase 1), when they were still severely malnourished but no longer infected (clinical phase 2), and when they were recovered (clinical phase 3).Results: Total and endogenous glycine flux and splanchnic glycine uptake did not differ significantly between the edematous and non-edematous groups during any clinical phase. In both groups of subjects, none of the glycine kinetic parameters changed significantly from clinical phase 1 through phases 2 and 3. Compared with the value at clinical phase 3, plasma glycine concentrations were not significantly lower during clinical phase 1 or 2 in either group.Conclusions: These findings suggest that children with severe childhood undernutrition can increase their de novo glycine synthesis to compensate for the reduced contribution from chronic food deprivation. The maintenance of the plasma glycine concentration suggests that the rate of glycine production was sufficient to satisfy metabolic demands in these children when they were acutely under-nourished and infected.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Little is known about the association between dietary carbohydrates and cataract in nondiabetic persons. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to test whether recent dietary carbohydrate intakes or glycemic index (GI; a measure of carbohydrate intake quality) was associated with the presence of cortical or nuclear opacities. DESIGN: A modified Block food-frequency questionnaire was used to obtain dietary information from 3377 participants (aged 60-80 y; 56% were women) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). Lens status was evaluated by using the AREDS System for Classifying Cataracts. Associations were examined for eyes with only a single, or pure, type of lens opacity by using the generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the eyes of a person. RESULTS: For participants in the highest quartile, dietary GI was associated with a higher prevalence of all pure nuclear opacities [grade >2; odds ratio (OR): 1.29; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.59; P for trend = 0.02] and moderate nuclear opacities (grade >/=4; OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 0.96, 2.14; P for trend = 0.052). The OR in a comparison of the highest with the lowest quartile of intake was 1.27 (95% CI: 0.99, 1.63; P for trend = 0.09) for cortical opacities of any severity (>0% of area opaque), and the OR increased somewhat for moderate cortical opacities (>5% of area opaque; OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.00, 2.95; P for trend = 0.056). CONCLUSIONS: Results from the cross-sectional analysis of AREDS baseline data suggest that dietary glycemic quality and dietary carbohydrate quantity may be associated with prevalent nuclear and cortical opacities, respectively.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Vitamin D status affects immune function and thus may affect the progress of HIV infection. OBJECTIVES: Our goals were to assess vitamin D intake and status in subjects with HIV infection and in matched control subjects and to determine whether HIV infection was associated with vitamin D insufficiency. DESIGN: Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and vitamin D intake were measured in a cross-sectional study of members of the Reaching for Excellence in Adolescent Health (REACH) cohort. RESULTS: The subjects were aged 14-23 y; 74% were female, and 72% were black. Mean (+/-SE) vitamin D intake from food was 30% greater (P = 0.023) in HIV-positive subjects (295 +/- 18 IU/d; n = 237) than in HIV-negative subjects (227 +/- 26 IU/d; n = 121). The prevalence of vitamin D supplement use was 29% (104 of 358 subjects) and did not differ significantly by HIV status (P = 0.87). Mean plasma 25(OH)D did not differ significantly (P = 0.62) between the HIV-positive (20.3 +/- 1.1 nmol/L; n = 238) and HIV-negative (19.3 +/- 1.7 nmol/L; n = 121) subjects, nor was HIV status a significant predictor of plasma 25(OH)D when multiple regression analysis was used to adjust for other variables. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency [plasma 25(OH)D </= 37.5 nmol/L] in the subjects was 87% (312 of 359 subjects). CONCLUSIONS: HIV infection did not influence vitamin D status. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative REACH subjects was high, perhaps because these disadvantaged, largely urban youth have limited sun exposure.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Several dietary factors have been linked to age-related maculopathy (ARM), the early form of age-related macular degeneration, and there is reason to think that dietary carbohydrate may play a role in the development of ARM. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relation between dietary carbohydrate quality, as measured by dietary glycemic index (GI) or total carbohydrate intake, and ARM. DESIGN: From the Nurses' Health Study, 1036 eyes from 526 Boston-area participants without a previous ARM diagnosis were included in the present study. The presence and degree of ARM were classified by the Age-Related Eye Diseases Study system. Long-term dietary information was based on data from an average of 4 food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 10-y period before the assessment of ARM. With eyes as the unit of analysis, we used a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios for ARM in a manner that accounted for the lack of independence between the 2 eyes from the same subject. RESULTS: After multivariate adjustment, dietary GI was related to ARM (specifically to retinal pigmentary abnormalities), whereas total carbohydrate intake was not. The odds ratio for ARM being in the highest tertile of dietary GI (> or =77.0) versus the lowest (<74.6) was 2.71 (95% CI: 1.24, 5.93; P for trend = 0.01). Neither dietary GI nor total carbohydrate intake was related to drusen. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that dietary GI may be an independent risk factor for ARM.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress during HIV infection may impair immune function, cause more rapid disease progression, and increase requirements for dietary antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. OBJECTIVES: The study had 2 principal objectives. The first was to ascertain whether HIV infection and immune activation were associated with lower plasma concentrations of ascorbate, urate, and alpha- and gamma-tocopherols and with total antioxidant status (TAS). The second objective was to ascertain whether these antioxidants were associated with protection against oxidative damage. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study involving 241 HIV-positive and 115 HIV-negative subjects aged 14-23 y. Subjects were primarily female (76%) and African American (70%), and 21% were Hispanic. RESULTS: Plasma ascorbate was significantly lower, but gamma-tocopherol and TAS were significantly higher in subjects with HIV infection when the analysis was adjusted for dietary intake and sex. Plasma alpha-tocopherol did not differ significantly by HIV status. Plasma gamma-tocopherol also was higher in subjects with oxidative damage than in those without such damage. More than 90% of subjects had adequate plasma concentrations for both ascorbate and alpha-tocopherol, although alpha-tocopherol concentrations were lower than expected on the basis of third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. CONCLUSIONS: Low plasma ascorbate concentrations in HIV-positive subjects suggest that vitamin C requirements are significantly higher in those with HIV infection. Plasma tocopherol concentrations were not depressed by HIV infection and may be maintained by compensatory mechanisms such as the activity of alpha-tocopherol transfer protein.

N2  - Advanced mathematical models have the potential to capture the complex metabolic and physiological processes that result in heat production or energy expenditure (EE). Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is a nonparametric method that estimates complex nonlinear relationships by a series of spline functions of the independent predictors. The specific aim of this study is to construct MARS models based on heart rate (HR) and accelerometer counts (AC) to accurately predict EE, and hence 24-h total EE (TEE), in children and adolescents. Secondarily, MARS models will be developed to predict awake EE, sleep EE, and activity EE also from HR and AC. MARS models were developed in 109 and validated in 61 normal-weight and overweight children (ages 5-18 yr) against the criterion method of 24-h room respiration calorimetry. Actiheart monitor was used to measure HR and AC. MARS models were based on linear combinations of 23-28 basis functions that use subject characteristics (age, sex, weight, height, minimal HR, and sitting HR), HR and AC, 1and 2-mm lag and lead values of HR and AC, and appropriate interaction terms. For the 24-h, awake, sleep, and activity EE models, mean percent errors were -2.5 ± 7.5, -2.6 ± 7.8, -0.3 ± 8.9, and -11.9 ± 17.9%, and root mean square error values were 168, 138, 40, and 122 kcal, respectively, in the validation cohort. Bland-Altman plots indicated that the predicted values were in good agreement with the observed TEE, and that there was no bias with increasing TEE. Prediction errors for 24-h TEE were not statistically associated with age, sex, weight, height, or body mass index. MARS models developed for the prediction of EE from HR monitoring and accelerometry were demonstrated to be valid in an independent cohort of children and adolescents, but require further validation in independent, free-living populations.

AB  - The article discusses research on measuring multiple exciton generation (MEG) in quantum dots. It references a study by Edward Sargent and colleagues at the University of Toronto, published in "Science." The researchers measure MEG in a photodector configuration with lead sulphide quantum dots space. The importance of the detection of MEG through a photoconductivity measurement is stressed. According to the article, the study supports the importance of MEG for optoelectronics.

AB  - We show that Wolf et al's analysis (2011 Class. Quantum Grav. 28 145017) does not support their conclusions, in particular that there is 'no redshift effect' in atom interferometers except in inconsistent dual-Lagrangian formalisms. Wolf et al misapply both Schiff's conjecture and the results of their own analysis when they conclude that atom interferometers are tests of the weak equivalence principle which only become redshift tests if Schiff's conjecture is invalid. Atom interferometers are direct redshift tests in any formalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Obesity is highly prevalent in African Americans and is associated with increased risk of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and death. It is not known if the effect of obesity is similar among blacks and whites. The aim of this study is to examine racial differences in the association of obesity with ESRD and survival in elderly patients (age >65). Data were obtained for 74,167 Medicare patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between February 1994 and July 1995. BMI was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m2). We evaluated the association of BMI class with ESRD incidence and death using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, testing for race-BMI interactions. Compared to whites, African Americans had higher BMI (26.9 vs. 26.0, P < 0.0001) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (72.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 66.6 ml/min/1.73 m2, P < 0.0001). Crude ESRD rates increased with increasing obesity among whites but not among blacks. However, after adjusting for age, sex, and other comorbidities, obesity was not associated with increased ESRD rate among blacks or whites and the interaction between race and BMI was not significant. Furthermore, for both races, patients classified as overweight, class 1 obese, or class 2 obese had similar, significantly better survival abilities compared to normal weight patients and the race BMI interaction was not significant. In conclusion, obesity does not increase risk of ESRD among black or white elderly subjects with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, both obese blacks and whites, in this population, experience a survival benefit. Further studies need to explore this obesity paradox. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - Diurnal rhythms in myocardial physiology (e.g., metabolism, contractile function) and pathophyiology (e.g., sudden cardiac death) are well establish and have classically been ascribed to time-of-day-dependent alterations in the neurohumoral milieu. Existence of an intramyocellular circadian clock has recently been exposed. Circadian clocks enable the cell to anticipate environmental stimuli, facilitating a timely and appropriate response. Generation of genetically modified mice with a targeted disruption of the cardiomyocyte circadian clock has provided an initial means for deciphering the functions of this transcriptionally based mechanism and allowed predictions regarding which environmental stimuli the heart anticipates (i.e., "anticipating anticipation"). Recent studies show that the cardiomyocyte circadian clock influences myocardial gene expression, 3-adrenergic signaling, transcriptional responsiveness to fatty acids, triglyceride metabolism, heart rate, and cardiac output, as well as ischemia-reperfusion tolerance. In addition to reviewing current knowledge regarding the roles of the cardiomyocyte circadian clock, this article highlights putative frontiers in this field. The latter includes establishing molecular links between the cardiomyocyte circadian clock with identified functions, understanding the pathophysiological consequences of disruption of this mechanism, targeting resynchronization of the cardiomyocyte circadian clock for prevention! treatment of cardiovascular disease, linking the circadian clock with the cardiobeneficial effects of caloric restriction, and determining whether circadian clock genes are subject to epigenetic regulation. Information gained from studies investigating the cardiomyocyte circadian clock will likely translate to extracardiac tissues, such as skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.

N2  - To analyze in severely obese women the circadian expression of the clock genes hPer2, hBmal1, and hCry1 in explants from subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue (AT), in order to elucidate whether this circadian clockwork can oscillate accurately and independently of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and if glucocorticoid metabolism-related genes such as glucocorticoid receptor (hGr) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (h11βHsd1) and the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (hPPARγ) are part of the clock controlled genes. AT biopsies were obtained from morbid obese patients (BMI ≥40 kg/m2) (n = 7). Anthropometric variables were measured and fasting plasma lipids and lipoprotein concentrations were analyzed. In order to carry out rhythmic expression analysis, AT explants were cultured during 24 h and gene expression was performed at the following times (T): 0, 6, 12, and 18 h, with quantitative real-time PCR. Clock genes oscillated accurately and independently of the SCN in AT explants. Their intrinsic oscillatory mechanism regulated the timing of other genes such as hPPARγ and glucocorticoid-related genes. Circadian patterns differed between VAT and SAT. Correlation analyses between the genetic circadian oscillation and components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) revealed that subjects with a higher sagittal diameter showed an increased circadian variability in hPer2 expression (r = 0.91; P = 0.031) and hBmal1 (r = 0.90; P = 0.040). Data demonstrate the presence of peripheral circadian oscillators in human AT independently of the central circadian control mechanism. This knowledge paves the way for a better understanding of the circadian contribution to medical conditions such as obesity and MetS.Obesity (2009) 17 8, 1481–1485 doi:10.1038/oby.2009.164 ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - In a pilot study, performance measures and mineral metabolism were assessed in 3 male endurance cyclists who consumed isoenergetic, isonitrogenous diets for 28-day periods in a randomized, crossover design in which dietary carbohydrate, polyunsaturated, or saturated fat contributed about 50% of daily energy intake. Peak aerobic capacity [62 ml/(kg x min)] was unaffected by diet. Endurance capacity at 70-75% peak aerobic capacity decreased with the polyunsaturated fat diet. Copper retention tended to be positive only with saturated fat. Less iron and zinc were retained (intake - losses), and fecal losses of these minerals increased with the polyunsaturated fat. Blood biochemical measures of trace element nutritional status were unaffected by diet, except serum ferritin, which tended to decrease during consumption of the polyunsaturated fat diet. These preliminary results suggest that diets high in polyunsaturated fat, particularly linoleic acid, impair absorption and utilization of iron and zinc, and possibly magnesium, and may reduce endurance performance.

AB  - Objectives. We compared sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), alcohol, and other caloric beverage (juice and milk) consumption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants with that of low-income nonparticipants. Methods. We used 1 day of dietary intake data from the 2005–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 4594 adults aged 20 years and older with household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty line. We used bivariate and multivariate methods to compare the probability of consuming and the amount of calories consumed for each beverage type across 3 groups: current SNAP participants, former participants, and nonparticipants.We used instrumental variablemethods to control for unobservable differences in participant groups. Results. After controlling for observable characteristics, SNAP participants were no more likely to consume SSBs than were nonparticipants. Instrumental variable estimates showed that current participants consumed fewer calories from SSBs than did similar nonparticipants. We found no differences in alcoholic beverage consumption, which cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits. Conclusions. SNAP participants are not unique in their consumption of SSBs or alcoholic beverages. Purchase restrictions may have little effect on SSB consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The role of exhibition swine in influenza A virus transmission was recently demonstrated by >300 infections with influenza A(H3N2) variant viruses among individuals who attended agricultural fairs. Through active influenza A virus surveillance in US exhibition swine and whole-genome sequencing of 380 isolates, we demonstrate that exhibition swine are actively involved in the evolution of influenza A viruses, including zoonotic strains. First, frequent introduction of influenza A viruses from commercial swine populations provides new genetic diversity in exhibition pigs each year locally. Second, genomic reassortment between viruses cocirculating in exhibition swine increases viral diversity. Third, viral migration between exhibition swine in neighboring states demonstrates that movements of exhibition pigs contributes to the spread of genetic diversity. The unexpected frequency of viral exchange between commercial and exhibition swine raises questions about the understudied interface between these populations. Overall, the complexity of viral evolution in exhibition swine indicates that novel viruses are likely to continually reemerge, presenting threats to humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - β-Cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid found in fruits and vegetables such as tangerines, red peppers, and pumpkin, has several functions important for human health. Most evidence from observational, in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggests that β-Cryptoxanthin has relatively high bioavailability from its common food sources, to the extent that some β-Cryptoxanthin-rich foods might be equivalent to b-carotene-rich foods as sources of retinol. b-Cryptoxanthin is an antioxidant in vitro and appears to be associated with decreased risk of some cancers and degenerative diseases. In addition, many in vitro, animal model, and human studies suggest that β-Cryptoxanthin-rich foods may have an anabolic effect on bone and, thus, may help delay osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although research shows that "food parenting practices" can impact children's diet and eating habits, current understanding of the impact of specific practices has been limited by inconsistencies in terminology and definitions. This article represents a critical appraisal of food parenting practices, including clear terminology and definitions, by a working group of content experts. The result of this effort was the development of a content map for future research that presents 3 overarching, higher-order food parenting constructs -- coercive control, structure, and autonomy support -- as well as specific practice subconstructs. Coercive control includes restriction, pressure to eat, threats and bribes, and using food to control negative emotions. Structure includes rules and limits, limited/guided choices, monitoring, meal- and snacktime routines, modeling, food availability and accessibility, food preparation, and unstructured practices. Autonomy support includes nutrition education, child involvement, encouragement, praise, reasoning, and negotiation. Literature on each construct is reviewed, and directions for future research are offered. Clear terminology and definitions should facilitate cross-study comparisons and minimize conflicting findings resulting from previous discrepancies in construct operationalization.

AB  - Diapause is the key adaptation allowing insects to survive unfavourable conditions and inhabit an array of environments. Physiological changes during diapause are largely conserved across species and are hypothesized to be regulated by a conserved suite of genes (a 'toolkit'). Furthermore, it is hypothesized that in social insects, this toolkit was co-opted to mediate caste differentiation between long-lived, reproductive, diapause-capable queens and short-lived, sterile workers. Using Bombus terrestris queens, we examined the physiological and transcriptomic changes associated with diapause and CO2 treatment, which causes queens to bypass diapause. We performed comparative analyses with genes previously identified to be associated with diapause in the Dipteran Sarcophaga crassipalpis and with caste differentiation in bumble bees. As in Diptera, diapause in bumble bees is associated with physiological and transcriptional changes related to nutrient storage, stress resistance and core metabolic pathways. There is a significant overlap, both at the level of transcript and gene ontology, between the genetic mechanisms mediating diapause in B. terrestris and S. crassipalpis, reaffirming the existence of a conserved insect diapause genetic toolkit. However, a substantial proportion (10%) of the differentially regulated transcripts in diapausing queens have no clear orthologs in other species, and key players regulating diapause in Diptera (juvenile hormone and vitellogenin) appear to have distinct functions in bumble bees. We also found a substantial overlap between genes related to caste determination and diapause in bumble bees. Thus, our studies demonstrate an intriguing interplay between pathways underpinning adaptation to environmental extremes and the evolution of sociality in insects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - <bold>Aim: </bold>Shiga toxins are delivered via systemic circulation and are considered to be the cause of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), as they injure endothelial cells, particularly in the glomeruli. This study measured Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in the serum of children affected in by HUS due to Stx2 producing Escherichia coli.<bold>Methods: </bold>The concentration of free Stx2 was measured in the serum of 16 children, collected immediately after admission to the clinic in the acute phase of HUS, using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The family members of two children were also investigated, with the relative toxicity of Stx2 assessed by a Vero cell-based fluorescent assay.<bold>Results: </bold>Stx2 was found in the serum of eight of the 16 children who were investigated. It was also detected in four of the six family members not showing symptomatic HUS, with an extremely high level in two.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>An absent or rather low concentration of Stx2 was found in the serum of children admitted to the clinic with diarrhoea-associated HUS. The high concentration of Stx2 in family members without HUS, but mostly with watery diarrhoea and raised functional activity, was in line with the concept of early injury by Stx2.

N2  - Responding to mounting evidence of the association between whole-grain consumption and a reduced risk of heart problems and other diseases, as well as an increased probability of body weight maintenance, the US Government has strongly encouraged its citizens to increase consumption of whole grains. However, compared against the 2005 Federal dietary recommendations, in 1994-1996 only 6% of Americans met the current recommended whole-grain consumption. To narrow this huge gap between actual and recommended consumption of whole grains, considerable changes in consumer behaviour will be needed. A demand system with two censored consumption equations and endogenous food label use and nutrition knowledge variables is estimated to investigate the factors that affect the consumption of whole and refined grains. Food label use and nutrition knowledge are found to play important roles in the consumption of refined- and whole-grain products, as are sociodemographic variables. The results can be used to help develop effective nutrition education messages and targeting strategies to promote consumption of whole grains in Americans' diets.

N2  - The Modigliani-Miller (M-M) theorem of financial asset theory concludes that asset values are independent of financing. In other words, debt-solvency (credit constraints) does not affect asset values. Therefore, using the M-M theorem one can argue that credit constraints in the farm sector (where land is the most important asset) do not affect the value of farmland. However, this proof relies on several arbitrage assumptions that are violated in the case of agricultural assets. This paper examines the effect of debt-solvency and government payments on changes in annual farmland values by state in the United States. Using panel cointergration method, results indicate that farmland values are significantly affected by both solvency and government payments. In addition, the results imply that government payments may affect agricultural asset values beyond the direct effect hypothesized in the literature.

N2  - A hedonic model was developed to analyze the market for undeveloped forest land in Minnesota. Variables describing in situ conditions, locational characteristics, buyer perceptions and intentions, and transactional terms were tested for their influence on sale price. The independent variables explained 67% of the per hectare sale price variation. Water frontage, road access and density, absentee ownership, future intentions, and financing arrangements had large, positive influences on price. Lack of a real-estate agent and agricultural land in the vicinity of the parcel had negative influences. A parcel's merchantable timber volume was not a significant predictor of price.

N2  - Programs that reimburse farmers for the cost of implementing more environmentally benign management practices are becoming increasingly popular in both the US and the EU. Utilizing the random utility and random profit difference approaches, the paper develops a theoretical model that explains why farmers may require a premium in excess of the decrease in profits to adopt a conservation plan, and may even require a premium in the case where adoption of the plan is associated with a mean increase in profits. This premium is estimated using a survey of farmers in conjunction with predictions of changes in production costs.

AB  - A cooperative program to provide selective dissemination of information service to three groups of land-grant university scientists working in the area of sorghum research was undertaken by the agricultural research service and the national agricultural library. After one year, analysis of the retrieved citations and user feedback shows that no single data base is sufficiently comprehensive in coverage. In terms of maximum information yield and relative ease of effective profile construction, biosis previews and the commonwealth agricultural bureaux file were the most productive data bases.

AB  - A graph theoretical algorithm is described which allows a search for fragments in acyclic structures. Although the topic discussed in the paper is of limited immediate use, it provides a basis for atom-by-atom matching which may be practical as a large number of unproductive matchings are eliminated from consideration. The approach is based on the concept of atom codes which register the number of neighbors one, two, and more bonds apart. Atom codes provide a means of storing information on a structure (i.e., connectivity) without an explicity use of atom labels. Atom codes also permit assignment of multiple labels to individual vertices based on some specified rules or prescribed properties.

AB  - A study was conducted during an 18-month period to determine the extent to which interlibrary loan activity of the russell research center library was affected by the implementation of computer-based retrospective literature searches. Statistics were maintained on literature searches initiated from january 1976 through june 1977 and were compared with interlibrary loan requests submitted during that period, as well as during the previous year. The high volume of interlibrary loan requests correlated with requests for literature searches. Such findings have budgetary and staffing implications for libraries contemplating computerized retrospective literature searches.

AB  - Abstract: Reduced signaling of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)/insulin pathway is associated with extended life span in several species. Ames dwarf mice are GH and IGF-1 deficient and live 50–64% longer than wild type littermates (males and females, respectively). Previously, we have shown that Ames mice exhibit elevated levels of antioxidative enzymes and lower oxidative damage. To further explore the relationship between GH and antioxidant expression, we administered GH or saline to dwarf mice and evaluated components of the methionine and glutathione (GSH) metabolic pathways. Treatment of dwarf mice with GH significantly suppressed methionine adenosyltransferase (40 and 38%) and glycine-N-methyltransferase (44 and 43%) activities (in 3- and 12-month-old mice, respectively). Growth hormone treatment elevated kidney gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase protein levels in 3- and 12-month-old dwarf mice. In contrast, the activity of the GSH degradation enzyme, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, was suppressed by GH administration in heart and liver. The activity of glutathione-S-transferase, an enzyme involved in detoxification, was also affected by GH treatment. Taken together, the current results along with data from previous studies support a role for growth hormone in the regulation of antioxidative defense and ultimately, life span in organisms with altered GH or IGF-1 signaling.

N2  - Southeast drought conditions have accentuated the demand for irrigation in the face of restricted water supply. For allocating this supply, Georgia held an auction for withdrawing irrigated acreage. This auction withdrew 33,000 acres from irrigation, resulting in a physical estimate of a 399 acre-feet daily increase in water flow. The actual reduction is driven by crop distributional changes on the basis of economic substitution and expansion effects. In contrast to the physical estimates, an econometric model that considers these effects is developed. The differences between the physical and econometric models result in an increase in the estimate of water savings of around 19% to 24%.

N2  - The over 300 million ha of public and private rangelands in the United States are characterized by low and variable precipitation, nutrient-poor soils, and high spatial and temporal variability in plant production. This land type has provided a variety of goods and services, with the provisioning of food and fiber dominating through much of the 20th century. More recently, food production from a rangeland-based livestock industry is often pressured for a variety of reasons, including poor economic returns, increased regulations, an aging rural population, and increasingly diverse interests of land owners. A shift to other provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services is occurring with important implications for carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and conservation incentives. There are numerous goods and services possible from rangelands that can supply societal demands such as clean water and a safe food supply. The use of ecologically-based principles of land management remains at the core of the ability of private land owners and public land managers to provide these existing and emerging services. We suggest that expectations need to be based on a thorough understanding of the diverse potentials of these lands and their inherent limits. A critical provisioning service to rangelands will be management practices that either maintain ecological functions or that restore functions to systems that have been substantially degraded over past decades. With proper incentives and economic benefits, rangelands, in the U.S. or globally, can be expected to provide these historical and more unique goods and services in a sustainable fashion, albeit in different proportions than in the past.

N2  - We examine the persistence of cropland retirements induced by the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the largest U.S. conservation program. We analyze micro data on observed land-use choices following CRP contract expiration over 1995-1997 and predict that 42% of CRP acres would not have been returned to crops within a year if the program had expired in 1997. These results indicate that temporary cropland retirement payments under CRP generate land-use changes that often extend beyond contract periods. The analysis suggests that targeted signing bonuses for first-time enrollees would increase the longer-term impacts of CRP and perhaps other incentive-based land-use programs.

N2  - We investigate the effects of forest conservation requirements and zoning on the value of land undergoing subdivision. Land prices are increasing in the percentage of subdivision acreage developers are required to keep in forest, suggesting that forest conservation regulations increase the amounts of forested open space that developers provide. Benefits from open-space amenities remain largely internal to the subdivision, so that land market incentives mitigate the justification for open space preservation policies. Consistent with theoretical predictions that zoning promotes sprawl, we find that minimum-lot-size zoning constrains developers of closer-in subdivisions where public sewers are available.

N2  - Recent research shows that the dramatic rise in obesity in the United States is due more to the overconsumption of unhealthy foods than underactivity. This study tests for an addiction to food nutrients as a potential explanation for the apparent excessive consumption. A random coefficients (mixed) logit model is used to test a multivariate rational addiction model. The results reveal a particularly strong addiction to carbohydrates. The implication of this finding is that price-based policies, sin taxes, or produce subsidies that change the expected future costs and benefits of consuming carbohydrate-intensive foods may be effective in controlling excessive nutrient intake.

N2  - This study examines the influences of risk, transaction costs, autonomy, size, farm demographics, and socioeconomic characteristics on the choice of four business arrangements by U.S. hog producers. Data for this analysis were obtained from a national survey of U.S. hog producers. This research supports other studies that discuss the role of risk in the advent of contracting and transaction costs in the selection of business arrangements. The study results suggest that those who value autonomy less are currently adopters of contracts.

N2  - New food products using genetically modified crops appeared in U.S. supermarkets starting in 1996, and consumers' perceived some risks. This paper examines the role of consumers prior beliefs about genetic modification and of diverse, new information on their willingness to pay for foods that might be genetically modified. We use data from economics experiments and show that participants who had informed prior beliefs discounted GM-labeled food products more highly than those who had uninformed prior beliefs. Uninformed participants were especially susceptible to information from interested and third parties. In contrast, informed participants were generally not affected significantly by new information.

AB  - Food frequency questionnaires are commonly used to assess habitual food intake. Although food frequency questionnaires are known to produce measurement error, the amount of error and effectiveness of correction methods are poorly understood. Twelve men from the Baltimore, MD/Washington, DC, area consumed an ad libitum diet for 16 weeks during the spring of 2001. At the end of the study period, subjects reported their food intakes with a food frequency questionnaire (Block 98). During weeks 8 and 16, subjects were dosed with doubly labeled water and maintained physical activity logs. Absolute and relative macronutrient intakes were poorly predicted by the food frequency questionnaire. The application of a single, group mean energy adjustment (using doubly labeled water or physical activity) reduced the variance of carbohydrate intake and increased the variance of fat and protein intakes, but none significantly (p > 0.05). Subject-specific energy adjustments reduced the variance for carbohydrate and protein intakes (p < 0.05). Including a body weight adjustment reduced the variance in fat intake (p < 0.05) when doubly labeled water was used to first correct energy intake. The application of correction methods based on energy expenditure and body weight can be used to reduce measurement error, improving the ability of the food frequency questionnaire to measure food intake.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Pathogenic factors that cause a child to develop the edematous instead of the nonedematous form of severe childhood undernutrition (SCU) during food deprivation are not clear. It was hypothesized that, in edematous but not nonedematous SCU, impaired protein breakdown leading to inadequate amino acids for maintenance of important organ systems was a factor. OBJECTIVE: We measured protein kinetics in children with edematous and nonedematous SCU. DESIGN: Endogenous leucine flux, an index of whole-body protein breakdown rate, was determined in 4 groups of children with edematous or nonedematous SCU in the malnourished and recovered states. Two groups were studied in the postabsorptive state, and 2 groups were studied in the fed state. RESULTS: In the postabsorptive state, leucine flux was slower (P < 0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state, but in the recovered state, it was faster (P < 0.05) in the children who previously had edematous SCU. When compared with the malnourished state value, leucine flux at recovery doubled in the group that previously had edematous SCU, but it did not change in the other group. In the fed state, leucine flux was slower (P < 0.01) in the edematous group than in the nonedematous group in the malnourished state but not in the recovered state. In the recovered state, enteral leucine extraction by splanchnic tissues trended higher in the group that previously had edematous SCU than in the nonedematous group. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate different protein breakdown responses to food deprivation between children with edematous and nonedematous SCU and inherent differences in protein metabolism when they have recovered.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Elevated homocysteine concentrations may contribute to cognitive impairment. Most elevations in homocysteine result from inadequate folate, vitamin B-12, or vitamin B-6 intake. It is not clear whether the observed associations between homocysteine and cognitive measures are causal or whether they are due to homocysteine, to independent actions of the B vitamins, or to both. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the individual and independent effects of baseline plasma homocysteine, folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin B-6 and of dietary B vitamin intakes on 3-y changes in cognitive measures in 321 aging men. DESIGN: Participants were from the Veterans Affairs Normative Aging Study. Cognitive function was assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination and on the basis of measures of memory, verbal fluency, and constructional praxis, which were adapted from the revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease batteries at 2 time points. At baseline, dietary intakes were assessed with a food-frequency questionnaire, and blood was drawn for the measurement of B vitamins and homocysteine. RESULTS: Over a mean 3-y follow-up, declines in constructional praxis, measured by spatial copying, were significantly associated with plasma homocysteine, folate, and vitamins B-6 and B-12 and with the dietary intake of each vitamin. Folate (plasma and dietary) remained independently protective against a decline in spatial copying score after adjustment for other vitamins and for plasma homocysteine. Dietary folate was also protective against a decline in verbal fluency. A high homocysteine concentration was associated with a decline in recall memory. CONCLUSIONS: Low B vitamin and high homocysteine concentrations predict cognitive decline. Spatial copying measures appear to be most sensitive to these effects in a general population of aging men.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Calcium is the only reported dietary inhibitor of both heme- and nonheme-iron absorption. It has been proposed that the 2 forms of iron enter a common pool in the enterocyte and that calcium inhibits the serosal transfer of iron into blood. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to ascertain whether the inhibitory effect of calcium occurs during initial mucosal uptake or during serosal transfer and to compare the serosal transfer of heme and nonheme iron, which should not differ if the 2 forms have entered a common mucosal iron pool. DESIGN: Whole-gut lavage and whole-body counting were used to measure the initial uptake (8 h) and retention (2 wk) of heme and nonheme iron with and without a calcium supplement (450 mg). Two experiments tested basal meals with low iron bioavailability and 360 mg Ca (n = 15) or with high iron bioavailability and 60 mg Ca (n = 12). RESULTS: Added calcium reduced the initial uptake of heme iron by 20%, from 49% to approximately 40% from both meals (P = 0.02), and reduced the total iron absorbed from the low- and high-bioavailability meals by approximately 25% [from 0.033 to 0.025 mg (P = 0.06) and from 0.55 to 0.40 mg (P < 0.01), respectively]. Calcium did not affect the serosal transfer of either form of iron. CONCLUSIONS: Calcium supplementation reduced heme and total iron without significantly affecting nonheme-iron absorption, regardless of meal bioavailability. Calcium inhibited the initial mucosal uptake rather than the serosal transfer of heme iron. Differences in serosal transfer indicate that heme and nonheme iron did not enter a common absorptive pool within 8 h after a meal. Copyright © 2005 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper was to describe the development and evaluation of an adult physical activity (PA) scoring scheme (SS). METHODS: SS was based on the 2000 METs compendium and PA guidance. Scoring credit was assigned to moderate (3-6 METs) or vigorous (>6 METs) activities using a 100-point scale. A point designator for evaluation (80.01-100, good; 51.00-80, needs improvement; and <51, poor) was based on guidance to perform 30 min of moderate activity > or = 5 d x wk(-1) or 20 min of vigorous activity > or = 3 d x wk(-1). Activities were scored individually and summed for a final score. PA information was from the Behavioral Risk Surveillance Survey, 2000. Weighted data were analyzed using SAS. Sensitivity and specificity methods were used to evaluate the SS. Fifty-six PA met intensity criteria and were examined for frequency and duration. RESULTS: Study included adults > or = 18 yr (N = 173,980). 71.4% of the men and 67.2% of the women reported moderate or vigorous activity, but only 13.1% of the men and 12.8% of the women received a good score. 48.9% of the men and 41% of the women needed improvement and 9.4% of the men and 13.4% of the women had a poor score. The sensitivity of identifying inactivity was 94 and 95% for inactive men and women, respectively; 92% for identifying both men and women needing improvement; and 79% for men and 90% for women with a poor score. The specificity of getting a good score was 57 and 60% for active men and women, respectively. CONCLUSION: SS appropriately assigns scoring credit to moderate and vigorous activities. However, assumptions made for mixed moderate and vigorous activities may misclassify active individuals.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Short-term studies in adolescents have generally shown an enhancement of calcium absorption by inulin-type fructans (prebiotics). Results have been inconsistent; however, and no studies have been conducted to determine whether this effect persists with long-term use. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to assess the effects on calcium absorption and bone mineral accretion after 8 wk and 1 y of supplementation with an inulin-type fructan. DESIGN: Pubertal adolescents were randomly assigned to receive 8 g/d of a mixed short and long degree of polymerization inulin-type fructan product (fructan group) or maltodextrin placebo (control group). Bone mineral content and bone mineral density were measured before randomization and after 1 y. Calcium absorption was measured with the use of stable isotopes at baseline and 8 wk and 1 y after supplementation. Polymorphisms of the Fok1 vitamin D receptor gene were determined. RESULTS: Calcium absorption was significantly greater in the fructan group than in the control group at 8 wk (difference: 8.5 +/- 1.6%; P < 0.001) and at 1 y (difference: 5.9 +/- 2.8%; P = 0.04). An interaction with Fok1 genotype was present such that subjects with an ff genotype had the least initial response to fructan. After 1 y, the fructan group had a greater increment in both whole-body bone mineral content (difference: 35 +/- 16 g; P = 0.03) and whole-body bone mineral density (difference: 0.015 +/- 0.004 g/cm(2); P = 0.01) than did the control group. CONCLUSION: Daily consumption of a combination of prebiotic short- and long-chain inulin-type fructans significantly increases calcium absorption and enhances bone mineralization during pubertal growth. Effects of dietary factors on calcium absorption may be modulated by genetic factors, including specific vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Animal studies suggest a role for dietary carbohydrate in cataractogenesis. However, few published human studies have evaluated associations between carbohydrate nutrition and lens opacification. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to test the hypothesis that long-term carbohydrate intake and dietary glycemic index are associated with the odds of early cortical and nuclear opacities. DESIGN: Subjects were 417 Boston-area members of the Nurses' Health Study cohort aged 53-73 y. Dietary information was based on an average from 5 semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaires collected over a 14-y period. Opacities were assessed by using the Lens Opacity Classification System III (LOCS III). We used eyes (n = 711) as the unit of analysis and generated odds ratios by using a generalized estimating approach to logistic regression to account for the lack of independence between the 2 eyes of each subject. RESULTS: After multivariate adjustment, the odds of cortical opacities (LOCS III >/=1.0) among women in the highest tertile of carbohydrate intake (>/=200 g/d) was 2.46 times (95% CI: 1.30, 4.64; P for trend = 0.005) that among women in the lowest tertile (<185 g/d). This association was not affected by adjustment for dietary glycemic index, which was not associated with early cortical opacities. Carbohydrate nutrition was not associated with the odds of nuclear opacities (LOCS III >/=2.5). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that carbohydrate quantity, but not carbohydrate quality, is associated with early cortical opacities, and that neither the quantity nor the quality of dietary carbohydrate affects the risk of nuclear opacities in middle-aged women.

AB  - The authors examined prospectively the association between dietary fat intake and cataract extraction in adult women from the Nurses' Health Study. A total of 71,083 women were followed prospectively for up to 16 years between 1984 and 2000. Dietary fat was assessed by repeated food frequency questionnaires. Incident cases of cataract extraction were determined by a biennial questionnaire. The multivariate-adjusted relative risk for the highest compared with the lowest quintile of total fat intake was 1.10 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.99, 1.22; p(trend) = 0.01). Women in the highest quintile of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid had a 12% lower risk of cataract extraction compared with those in the lowest quintile (relative risk = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79, 0.98; p(trend) = 0.02). Total fish intake was inversely associated with cataract (for intake of > or = 3/week vs. <1/month: relative risk = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81, 0.98; p(trend) = 0.01). The authors' findings suggest that higher intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) and consumption of fish may modestly reduce the risk of cataract.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The role of zinc in promoting physiologic function during exercise is not well understood. Although some zinc-containing enzymes are postulated to regulate energy expenditure, data are limited on the effect of restricted dietary zinc on metabolic responses during exercise. OBJECTIVE: This study determined the effects of low zinc intake on carbonic anhydrase activity in red blood cells (RBCs) and cardiorespiratory function during exercise. DESIGN: In this double-blind, randomized crossover study, 14 men aged 20-31 y were fed low-zinc and supplemented (3.8 and 18.7 mg/d) diets made up of Western foods for 9-wk periods with a 6-wk washout. Peak work capacity, determined by using a cycle ergometer and a graded, progressive protocol, and a prolonged submaximal test (70% peak intensity for 45 min) were administered during the second and ninth weeks of each diet period. RESULTS: Dietary zinc did not affect hemoglobin or hematocrit. Low dietary zinc resulted in lower (P < 0.05) serum and erythrocyte zinc concentrations, zinc retention, and total carbonic anhydrase and isoform activities in RBCs. Peak oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, and respiratory exchange ratio were lower (P < 0.05), and ventilatory equivalents for metabolic responses during exercise were greater (P < 0.05), with low than with supplemental zinc intake. Similar functional responses were observed during prolonged, submaximal exercise. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that low dietary zinc is associated with significant reductions in zinc status, including RBC carbonic anhydrase activities, and impaired metabolic responses during exercise.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have examined the effect of low and adequate intakes of copper on absorption and retention, but little information is available on the regulation of absorption and retention of copper when intake is high. OBJECTIVE: A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on copper absorption, retention, and homeostasis. DESIGN: Nine men were confined to a metabolic research unit (MRU) for 18 d and were fed a 3-d rotating menu containing an average of 1.6 mg Cu/d. They continued the study under free-living conditions for 129 d, supplementing their usual diets with 7 mg Cu/d. They then returned to the MRU for 18 d and consumed the same diet as during the first period, except that copper intake was 7.8 mg/d. The stable isotope (63)Cu was fed to 3 subjects and infused into the other 6 on day 7 of each MRU period, and complete urine and stool collections were made throughout the study. Total copper and (63)Cu were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Copper absorption, excretion, and retention were calculated on the basis of dietary, urinary, and fecal copper and (63)Cu. RESULTS: Results were as follows when comparing the high copper intake with the usual intake: fractional copper absorption was significantly lower, but the amount absorbed was significantly higher; excretion of the infused (63)Cu was significantly faster; and total retention was significantly higher. CONCLUSIONS: Homeostatic regulation of copper absorption and retention helped to minimize the amount of copper retained with high copper intake but was not sufficient to prevent retention of >0.6 mg Cu/d.

AB  - Objectives. We estimated the association between the price of healthy and less-healthy food groups and blood sugar among US adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods. We linked 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey health information to food prices contained in the Quarterly Food-at- Home Price Database. We regressed blood sugar levels on food prices from the previous calendar quarter, controlling for market region and a range of other covariates. We also examined whether the association between food prices and blood sugar varies among different income groups. Results. The prices of produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, higher prices for produce and low-fat dairy foods were associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose 3 months later. Food prices had a greater association with blood sugar for low-income people than for higher-income people, and in the expected direction. Conclusions. Higher prices of healthy foods were associated with increased blood sugar among people with type 2 diabetes. The association was especially pronounced among low-income people with type 2 diabetes.

AB  - Objectives. This study investigated if the type of drinking water source (treated municipal, untreated municipal, and private well water) modifies the effect of hydrology on childhood (aged < 5 years) gastrointestinal illness. Methods. We conducted a time series study to assess the relationship between hydrologic and weather conditions with childhood gastrointestinal illness from 1991 to 2010. The Central and Northern Wisconsin study area includes households using all 3 types of drinking water systems. Separate time series models were created for each system and half-year period (winter/spring, summer/fall). Results. More precipitation (summer/fall) systematically increased childhood gastrointestinal illness in municipalities accessing untreated water. The relative risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness was 1.4 in weeks with 3 centimeters of precipitation and 2.4 in very wet weeks with 12 centimeters of precipitation. By contrast, gastrointestinal illness in private well and treated municipal areas was not influenced by hydrologic conditions, although warmer winter temperatures slightly increased incidence. Conclusions. Our study suggests that improved drinking water protection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure may improve public health by specifically identifying municipal water systems lacking water treatment that may transmit waterborne disease.

AB  - Background/Objectives:Low blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) have been associated with cardiometabolic disease but results are inconsistent. The objective of the study was to investigate the association of 25OHD with metabolic syndrome in a population at increased risk for diabetes.Subjects/Methods:Using baseline data from the placebo and lifestyle intervention arms of the Diabetes Prevention Program (N=2000), multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome and each of its individual components across 25OHD tertiles. Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate the adjusted mean difference of insulin secretion and sensitivity across the same 25OHD tertiles. In participants free of metabolic syndrome at baseline (N=546), incident metabolic syndrome in the first 2 years of follow-up was assessed using discrete-time proportional hazards regression to test its association with 25OHD concentration.Results:After multivariate adjustment, participants in the highest tertile of 25OHD had lower odds of prevalent metabolic syndrome (odds ratio=0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.45-0.84), smaller waist circumference, higher high-density lipoprotein and lower fasting plasma glucose compared with participants in the lowest tertile of 25OHD. Higher plasma 25OHD concentration was associated with greater insulin sensitivity and lower insulin secretion. After multivariate adjustment, there was a nonsignificant lower risk of metabolic syndrome in the highest tertile of 25OHD (hazard ratio=0.79; 95% CI=0.48-1.32) compared with the lowest tertile.Conclusions:In a population at increased risk for diabetes, higher plasma 25OHD concentration was inversely associated with prevalent metabolic syndrome and nonsignificantly with incident metabolic syndrome.

N2  - In 2010, the U.S. government adopted its first consistent estimates of the social cost of carbon (SCC) for government-wide use in regulatory cost-benefit analysis. Here, the authors examine a number of limitations of the estimates identified in the U.S. government report and elsewhere and review recent advances that could pave the way for improvements. The authors consider in turn socio-economic scenarios, treatment of physical climate response, damage estimates, ways of incorporating risk aversion, and consistency between SCC estimates and broader climate policy.

AB  - HEALTHLIT Abstract: Aims: To investigate the processes controlling the transport of Mycobacterium avium subsp. para tuberculosis (Map) through aquifer materials.  Methods and Results: We measured two important surface characteristics known to affect bacterial attachment to sediment surfaces: surface charge and hydrophobicity. We then measured the transport of Map through laboratory columns packed with aquifer sand with varying ionic strength solutions and sediment surface charge. We found that Map has a strong negative charge and is highly hydrophobic and that the transport of Map through positively charged Fe-coated sands was reduced compared with transport through negatively charged clean quartz sand, although Map transport for all treatments was low compared with the transport behaviour reported in the literature for other bacteria.  Conclusions: Our results suggest that the potential for groundwater contamination by Map is low; however, the organism may remain bound to the soil near the surface where it can be ingested by grazing animals or be released during run off events.  Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first study looking at the surface characteristics and transport behaviour of Map through aquifer materials and therefore provides important information for understanding the movement of Map in the environment

AB  - AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT Abstract: Soil organic C (SOC) and total soil N (TSN) sequestration estimates are needed to improve our understanding of management influences on soil fertility and terrestrial C cycling related to greenhouse gas emission. We evaluated the factorial combination of nutrient source (inorganic, mixed inorganic and organic, and organic as broiler litter) and forage utilization (unharvested, low and high cattle grazing pressure, and hayed monthly) on soil-profile distribution (0-150 cm) of SOC and TSN during 12 years of pasture management on a Typic Kanhapludult (Acrisol) in Georgia, USA. Nutrient source rarely affected SOC and TSN in the soil profile, despite addition of 73.6 Mg ha?1 (dry weight) of broiler litter during 12 years of treatment. At the end of 12 years, contents of SOC and TSN at a depth of 0-90 cm under haying were only 82 ñ 5% (mean ñ S.D. among treatments) of those under grazed management. Within grazed pastures, contents of SOC and TSN at a depth of 0-90 cm were greatest within 5 m of shade and water sources and only 83 ñ 7% of maximum at a distance of 30 m and 92 ñ 14% of maximum at a distance of 80 m, suggesting a zone of enrichment within pastures due to animal behavior. During 12 years, the annual rate of change in SOC (0-90 cm) followed the order: low grazing pressure (1.17 Mg C ha?1 year?1) > unharvested (0.64 Mg C ha?1 year?1) = high grazing pressure (0.51 Mg C ha?1 year?1) > hayed (?0.22 Mg C ha?1 year?1). This study demonstrated that surface accumulation of SOC and TSN occurred, but that increased variability and loss of SOC with depth reduced the significance of surface effects

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: In considering the vitamin B-12 fortification of flour, it is important to know who is at risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency and whether those individuals would benefit from flour fortification. This article reviews current knowledge of the prevalence and causes of vitamin B-12 deficiency and considers whether fortification would improve the status of deficient subgroups of the population. In large surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom, approximately 6% of those aged > or =60 y are vitamin B-12 deficient (plasma vitamin B-12 < 148 pmol/L), with the prevalence of deficiency increasing with age. Closer to 20% have marginal status (plasma vitamin B-12: 148-221 pmol/L) in later life. In developing countries, deficiency is much more common, starting in early life and persisting across the life span. Inadequate intake, due to low consumption of animal-source foods, is the main cause of low serum vitamin B-12 in younger adults and likely the main cause in poor populations worldwide; in most studies, serum vitamin B-12 concentration is correlated with intake of this vitamin. In older persons, food-bound cobalamin malabsorption becomes the predominant cause of deficiency, at least in part due to gastric atrophy, but it is likely that most elderly can absorb the vitamin from fortified food. Fortification of flour with vitamin B-12 is likely to improve the status of most persons with low stores of this vitamin. However, intervention studies are still needed to assess efficacy and functional benefits of increasing intake of the amounts likely to be consumed in flour, including in elderly persons with varying degrees of gastric atrophy

AB  - Agricultural research drives increases in agricultural productivity, and the number of private agricultural input firms has been declining. The empirical relationship between the number of firms doing applied biotechnology crop research and the amount of research output they produce is investigated in a research profit function model. Increases in seed industry concentration have reduced biotech research intensity in the United States in the 1990s. Concentration and research are simultaneously determined and are influenced by the appropriability of research results and the state of technological opportunity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This article presents a modelling system for synthesising heterogeneous productivity and nutrient loading potentials inherent in agricultural cropland for policy use. Phosphorus abatement cost functions for cropland farmers in a southeastern Minnesota watershed are metamodelled using frontier analysis. These functions are used to evaluate policies aimed at reducing nonpoint phosphorus discharges into the Minnesota River. Results indicate an efficiently targeted policy to reduce phosphorus discharge by 40% would cost US$ 167,700 or 844 per farm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The distribution of welfare gains of genetic improvements in major US crops is estimated using a world agricultural trade model. Multi-market welfare estimates were 75% larger than estimates based on the price-exogenous ‘change in revenue’ method frequently used by plant breeders. Annual benefits of these genetic improvements range from US$ 400–600 million depending on the supply shift specification. Of this, 44–60% accrues to the US, 24–34% accrues to other developed countries. Developing and transitional economies capture 16–22% of the welfare gain. The global benefits of a one-time permanent increase in US yields are US$ 8.1 billion (discounted at 10%) and US$ 15.4 billion (discounted at 5%). Gains to consumers in developing and transitional economies range from US$ 6.1 billion (10% discount rate) to US$ 11.6 billion (5% discount rate). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We conduct a national-scale analysis of the determinants of agricultural land values. The theoretical basis for the study is a spatial city model with stochastic returns to future land development. The empirical model of agricultural land prices is estimated with a cross-section on approximately three thousand counties in the contiguous US. The results provide evidence that option values associated with irreversible and uncertain land development are capitalized into current farmland values. For each county, we decompose the current agricultural land value into components measuring rents from agricultural production and rents from future land development. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Susceptibility to two storage insect pests [(Cryptolestes pusillus (Scho¨nherr) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.)] of eight commercial oat cultivars from the United States was determined in laboratory studies. Duration of insect development was shorter and number of progeny produced was greater on cracked than on whole oats. Simulations based on data from the study showed that insect populations would reach the threshold level for treatment in 2–3 months of storage at 30°C on cracked oats. Insect population development was slowest on the hulless cultivar Paul when the oat kernels were cracked. Simulations also indicated that all cultivars of whole oats tested could be stored for at least 1 yr at 30°C without reaching the threshold for treatment when infested with these two species of insects, and insect populations would decrease over time on the cultivars Don, Jerry, Milton, NewDak, Otana, and Valley. Analyses of oat grain quality characteristics, including kernel weight, groat hardness, and groat composition, provided little insight into the mechanism of observed differences in insect development among cultivars. Hardness of the kernels (as indicated by % broken groats after dehulling) may be related to near immunity to these two species of insects in whole Otana. Steaming whole oats to inactivate hydrolytic enzymes in the trichomes of the pericarp did not increase susceptibility to these two species of insects, suggesting that enzymes in the trichomes were not responsible for insect population development being slower on whole oats than on cracked oats. Although we were unable to identify the factors that determined relative susceptibility in this study, the results will be useful for selecting commercial oat cultivars for planting that will be less susceptible to insect pests in storage and suggest that the economics of cleaning oats before storage to reduce insect population growth should be investigated.

AB  - Although high concentrations of zinc and manganese were found in mandibles of insect larvae that bore into seeds, these metals were not detected in mandibles of insect larvae that attack previously damaged seeds. Metals were present in the larval mandibles of a lepidopteran, the Angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella), and eight coleopterans, the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica), cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), drugstore beetle (Stegobium paniceum), spider beetle (Gibbium aequinoctiale), warehouse beetle (Trogoderma variabile), cadelle (Tenebroides mauritanicus), larger black flour beetle (Cynaeus angustus), and cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus). Larvae of these species can chew into seeds. Larvae of six other coleopterans, the varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci), sawtoothed grain beetle (Oryzaephilus surinamensis), rusty grain beetle (Cryptolestes ferrugineus), red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), longheaded flour beetle (Latheticus oryzae), and granary weevil (Sitophilus granarius) have little if any ability to chew into seeds, and did not have metal in their mandibles. Larvae of the granary weevil hatch and feed within seeds that were penetrated previously during egg deposition by adults. However, newly hatched larvae of the cowpea weevil and the Angoumois grain moth have to bore through the seed coat before they begin feeding, and they have mandibles with high concentrations of zinc. These data support the hypothesis that deposition of zinc and/or manganese in larval mandibles enhances the larva''s ability to penetrate seeds. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Resistance of Tripsacorn to Sitophilus zeamais and Oryzaephilus surinamensis

AB  - One strategy that has been used to find germplasm for developing improved plant varieties is to test ancestral germplasm for the desired traits. Although the progenitors of commercial maize are not known, a hybrid (called Tripsacorn) developed from a perennial teosinte, Zea diploperennis, and eastern gamagrass, Tripsacum dactyloides, resembles the earliest known samples of primitive domesticated maize. We tested resistance of whole Tripsacorn to the primary storage pest (primary storage pests can infest intact kernels) the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and resistance of ground Tripsacorn to the secondary storage pest (secondary pests usually cannot infest intact kernels) the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae). Tripsacorn was immune to attack by S. zeamais. The weevils were unable to lay eggs in the Tripsacorn, and we hypothesized that the hardness of the fruitcase was responsible for lack of weevil oviposition. Oryzaephilus surinamensis were able to complete immature development on ground Tripsacorn, but duration of development was longer and weight of emerged adults was less than for beetles developing on wheat. Hardness of the fruitcase may have been a primitive mechanism of defense against insects and other pests, but probably would not be an acceptable trait in commercial varieties. It remains to be determined whether the possible antibiotic effect demonstrated in ground Tripsacorn would be a useful trait in commercial maize hybrids. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We model the taxation behavior of a revenue-maximizing government in the presence of a competing tax collector, i.e., the mafia, and tax evasion. Firms choosing to evade taxes must shift some of their sales underground, possibly incurring costs. In the mafia''s presence, the government''s optimal tax rate and payoff depend on the importance to firms of the public goods provided by the government and those provided by the mafia. When public goods are important, both the state''s tax rate and revenues are lower in the presence of the mafia than without it. However, when public goods are unimportant, the government benefits from the mafia''s taxation of the firms'' underground activities. Journal of Comparative Economics 32 (3) (2004) 375–387.

AB  - A serious obstacle to China''s economic reform is the lack of a sustainable pension system. Using a newly designed computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that differentiates 7 productive activities and 22 age and gender groups, this study compares various options for financing the implicit pension debt and estimates the effects of pension reform on the sustainability of the system and on economic growth. Simulation results show that the current pay-as-you-go system is not financially sustainable and the implicit pension debt is estimated at around 46 to 64 percent of GDP in 2000. The paper proposes to use value-added tax revenue to finance the transition cost, which would make the new multi-pillar system financially sustainable.

T1  - USE OF CHANCE-CONSTRAINED PROGRAMMING TO ACCOUNT FOR STOCHASTIC VARIATION IN THE A-MATRIX OF LARGE-SCALE LINEAR PROGRAMS: A FORESTRY APPLICATION.

AB  - Linear programming (LP) is widely used to select the manner in which forest lands are managed. Because of the nature of forestry, this application has several unique characteristics. For example, the models consider many different management actions that take place over many years, thus resulting in very large LP formulations with diverse data. In addition, almost none of the data are known with certainty. The most pervasive occurrence of stochastic information is in the production coefficients, which indicate the uncertain response of the managed forest ecosystem to various management options. A ‘chance-constrained’ approach to handling this uncertainty would often be appropriate in forestry applications - managers and decision makers would like to specify a probability with which uncertain constraints are met. Unfortunately, chance-constrained procedures for A-matrix uncertainty produce nonlinear programming problems, which cannot currently be solved for large-scale forestry applications. This paper utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation approach (a linear program is repeatedly solved with randomly perturbed A-matrix coefficients) to describe the distribution of total output when the individual production coefficients are random. An iterative procedure for ‘chance-constraining’ feasibility is developed and demonstrated with this sort of random A-matrix. An iterative approach is required because the mean and variance of total output are unknown functions of the random A-matrix coefficients and the level of output required. This approach may have applications in other fields as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The basic static (tensile, compressive, and in-plane shear) and fatigue properties, including temperature and fluid environment effects, for two carbon-fiber polymeric composites, produced by a rapid-molding process suitable for high volume automotive applications, are described. The two composites had the same urea/urethane matrix and were reinforced with stitch-bonded carbon-fiber mats, in a crossply layup in one case, and in a quasi-isotropic layup in the other. All properties were determined over a temperature range from −40 to 120 °C, and the degradation of the properties due to distilled water and windshield washer fluid was established. In all cases, two fiber orientations of the crossply, 0/90° and ±45°, relative to the specimen axes were addressed. As expected, matrix-dominated properties were degraded more by rising temperatures than were fiber-dominated properties. Fluid had only a modest effect in both cases. Basic fatigue behavioral characteristics were established through tensile fatigue tests over the temperature range of interest. An assessment of fatigue test results for the two composites revealed differences in a progressive loss in stiffness and an increase in permanent strain, both of which are indicative of increasing damage. In all cases, fatigue reduction factors were established to account for the effects of temperature and fluids. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Feeding intolerance (ie, achieving and maintaining full enteral feedings) is a significant problem in preterm infants. A relation exists between feeding intolerance and incomplete lactose digestion. OBJECTIVES: We sought to identify the factors relating to lactose digestion and absorption, lactase activity, and small-intestinal mucosal growth. DESIGN: Lactose digestion and absorption, lactase-specific activity, and lumen-to-mucosa water flux as a measure of small-intestinal mucosal surface area were determined by using the triple-lumen perfusion technique on 2 occasions 3 wk apart in 10 preterm infants (x+/-SEM gestational age: 28.0+/-0.2 wk). RESULTS: Lactose digestion and absorption and lactase activity doubled between studies (P=0.035 and P=0.041, respectively). The change in digestion and absorption was related to lactase activity (P=0.034, R2=0.38). Lactase activity correlated with gestational age at birth (P=0.012, R2=0.51). The number of days of feeding explained 80% of the variability in small-intestinal mucosal surface area (P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first study to measure directly lactose digestion and absorption, lactase activity, and small-intestinal surface area in preterm infants. Changes in lactose absorption relate primarily to lactase activity rather than to mucosal growth. We showed directly a relation between enteral feeding and small-intestinal mucosal Copyright © 2005 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - Objective: To describe food sources of nutrient intake for white and African American adults in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD), and their use in the development of a regional food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) based on an earlier version of the National Cancer Institute's Health Habits and History Questionnaire.Design: We ranked food sources of energy, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals, and examined portion size distributions for 842 white and 857 African American residents aged 19 years and older, using 24-hour dietary intake recall data from a telephone survey of 36 LMD counties. These values were used to develop a regional FFQ, which was then field-tested with 100 subjects and revised to improve interpretability.Setting: The LMD region of the USA.Subjects: White and African American adult residents of the LMD.Results: LMD African Americans obtained more of their energy and nutrient intakes from poultry, processed meat, salty snacks, fruit drinks, pork and cornbread; and less from milk, alcohol, legumes, salad dressing, butter/margarine and sweetened tea than did white residents. Regional foods not on nationally used FFQs included grits, turnip greens, okra, ham hocks, chitterlings, crawfish, catfish, cracklings, jambalaya, potato logs, chicken and dumplings, and sweet potato pie. Based on responses during field-testing, the questionnaire was also designed to add four portion sizes for each food item, presented as questions, rather than in grid format.Conclusions: Regional food use patterns differ from national patterns and furthermore differ between African American and white adults in the LMD. The resulting Delta NIRI FFQ for Adults should contribute to improved assessment of usual intake for use in studies of diet and health in this region.

AB  - Various determinants influenced United States legislators' voting on key amendments as well as the final vote on the 1977 Amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which increased the level of the minimum wage. Economic determinants of the votes involved issues including wage indexation, top credit, youth differential and small business exemption. Legislators also considered issues such as demographic differences, the strength of labor unions and the influence of small business. A representative's vote on an amendment might appear inconsistent with the final vote because of his endeavor to appeal to several subgroups of his constituency simultaneously, but this behavior is in fact entirely logical.

AB  - The intent of this article is to add further empirical evidence to the frequently espoused hypothesis that the decision-making process used by U.S. tariff negotiators is heavily weighted by their assessment of the likely labor displacement effects that trade liberalization may have on domestic interests. Using data on 477 workers displaced from six different industries the results demonstrate that industries with high labor adjustment costs received greater exceptions from the across-the-board tariff cut in the Kennedy Round of the Multilateral Trade Negotiations than industries with lower adjustment costs.

AB  - This article deals with the question of bias for norm minimizing estimates and unbiasedness. The actual testing and use of error criteria alternative to the sum of the squared errors has been inhibited both by the increased computational difficulty associated with the estimation procedures and by the lack of knowledge of the properties of the resulting estimates of the Β coefficients. Given the current capability for nonlinear optimization, the question of computational tractability for alternative error criteria has been answered, at least for reasonable size problems.

AB  - Decentralized decision making is consistent if it is executed without cost (i.e., without a loss of output or utility). Consistency requires that the objective function be appropriately structured. In this paper, a hierarchical decision making structure is rationalized by an objective function which combines some of the properties of homothetic separability and asymmetric separability.

AB  - This paper tests the proposition that takeovers involving major petroleum companies are due to poor management performance by the target companies. Among the performance variables used to distinguish firms subject to takeover were the following: the ratio of market value to book value, rate of return, dividend payout ratio, reserve replacement ratio, and finding costs. The results do not indicate that there is a clear cut distinction between the firms that were taken over and those that were not. As a result, the managerial incompetence hypothesis receives no support from this analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - BACKGROUND: Because recent data on the effects of mineral concentrations in preterm infant formula on bone mineralization are lacking, recommendations for the mineral content of preterm infant formula differ greatly between committees. OBJECTIVE: The goal of the study was to assess the effects of an isocaloric, nutrient-enriched preterm formula, which was fed from the age when full enteral feedings were tolerated through expected term, on bone mineralization in preterm infants. DESIGN: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind study in healthy, preterm infants (gestational age of 28-32 wk) who were fed either a control preterm formula (n=20) or an isocaloric, nutrient-enriched preterm formula (n=21) until 3 mo of age (ie, approximate expected term). Serum calcium indexes were taken throughout the study, and bone mass was determined by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at hospital discharge and expected term. RESULTS: A total of 37 infants (experimental formula, n=19; control formula, n=18) completed the study. Compared with control subjects, infants fed the experimental formula had 25% and 40% higher intakes of calcium and phosphorus, respectively. Serum calcium, phosphorus, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase concentrations and urinary collagen type I cross-linked N-telopetide concentrations were not significantly different between the groups at any time point. The bone mineral content of infants fed the experimental formula was 23% (P=0.039) and 35% (P=0.002) higher at hospital discharge and expected term, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Bone mineralization at hospital discharge and expected term was significantly higher in preterm infants fed the isocaloric, nutrient-enriched formula than in those fed control formula. Continuation of the experimental formula beyond hospital discharge, through expected term, further improved bone mineralization. Copyright © 2004 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Boron is a bioactive element that satisfies several of the criteria for essentiality in humans. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to establish the profile of boron metabolism in human milk. DESIGN: Lactating mothers of premature (PRT; n = 10, <2000 g birth weight, <37 wk gestation) and full-term (FT; n = 10, >2500 g, 39-41 wk gestation) infants living in St John's, Canada, collected milk samples once a week for 12 wk. Samples were analyzed for boron, copper, iron, selenium, and zinc by atomic emission or absorption spectrometry after wet-ash digestion with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in polytetrafluoroethylene tubes. RESULTS: A mixed-model analysis of variance indicated that boron concentrations were stable in full-term (30 and 28 mug/L milk; P = 0.5) but not in preterm (37 and 27 mug/L; P = 0.01) milk between weeks 1 and 12, respectively. As expected, there were reductions in the concentrations of copper (FT: 651 to 360 mug/L, P < 0.0001; PRT: 542 to 425, P = 0.05), iron (FT: 355 to 225 mug/L, P = 0.0003; PRT: 406 to 287, P = 0.002), selenium (FT: 26.9 to 18.6 mug/L, P < 0.0001; PRT: 28.7 to 20.4, P < 0.0001), and zinc (FT: 4060 to 1190 mug/L, P < 0.0001; PRT: 5970 to 1270, P < 0.0001) over time. CONCLUSIONS: The stable milk boron concentrations over time suggest that boron may be under homeostatic control. The patterns of change in copper, iron, selenium, and zinc concentrations in milk differ from those of boron. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism of milk boron secretion.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Nicaragua initiated a national program of vitamin A fortification of its domestic sugar supply starting with the 1999-2000 sugarcane harvest. OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to document any change in the vitamin A status of a cohort of children during the first year of the program. DESIGN: The vitamin A status of 21 Nicaraguan schoolchildren (mean age: 6.7 y; range: 5.3-9.3 y) was assessed in March 2000 and in March 2001. Total-body vitamin A stores and liver vitamin A concentrations were estimated with the deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique at a dose of 5 mg [(2)H(4)]retinyl acetate at baseline and 5 mg [(2)H(8)]retinyl acetate during the repeat test 1 y later. Plasma retinol and carotenoids were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: Median total-body vitamin A stores increased from 0.33 to 0.72 mmol (P = 0.0001), liver vitamin A concentrations from 0.52 to 0.78 mumol/g (P = 0.0003), and plasma retinol concentrations increased from 0.97 to 1.17 mumol/L (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: The vitamin A status of Nicaraguan schoolchildren improved during the year after the initial distribution of vitamin A-fortified sugar in Nicaragua.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Barley has high amounts of soluble fiber but is not extensively consumed in the US diet. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether consumption of barley would reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors comparably with that of other sources of soluble fiber. DESIGN: Mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects (9 postmenopausal women, 9 premenopausal women, and 7 men) consumed controlled American Heart Association Step 1 diets for 17 wk. After a 2-wk adaptation period, whole-grain foods containing 0, 3, or 6 g beta-glucan/d from barley were included in the Step 1 diet menus. Diets were consumed for 5 wk each and were fed in a Latin-square design. Fasting blood samples were collected twice weekly. RESULTS: Total cholesterol was significantly lower when the diet contained 3 or 6 g beta-glucan/d from barley than when it contained no beta-glucan; the greatest change occurred in the men and postmenopausal women. HDL and triacylglycerol concentrations did not differ with the 3 amounts of dietary beta-glucan. Large LDL and small VLDL fractions and mean LDL particle size significantly decreased when whole grains were incorporated into the 3 diets. Large LDL and large and intermediate HDL fractions were significantly higher, mean LDL particle size was significantly greater, and intermediate VLDL fractions were significantly lower in the postmenopausal women than in the other 2 groups. A group-by-diet interaction effect was observed on LDL fractions and small LDL particle size. CONCLUSION: The addition of barley to a healthy diet may be effective in lowering total and LDL cholesterol in both men and women. Copyright © 2004 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Research conducted before genotyping was possible suggested that subjects heterozygous for the genetic mutation associated with hemochromatosis absorbed nonheme iron more efficiently than did control subjects when tested with a fortified meal. Heme-iron absorption in these subjects has not been reported. OBJECTIVE: We compared the absorption of heme and nonheme iron from minimally or highly fortified test meals between HFE C282Y-heterozygous and wild-type control subjects. DESIGN: After prospective genotyping of 256 healthy volunteers, 11 C282Y-heterozygous and 12 wild-type control subjects were recruited, and their iron absorption was compared by using a hamburger test meal with or without added iron and ascorbic acid. After retrospective genotyping of 103 participants in previous iron-absorption studies, 5 C282Y-heterozygous subjects were compared with 72 wild-type control subjects. RESULTS: HFE C282Y-heterozygous subjects did not differ significantly from wild-type control subjects in their absorption of either heme or nonheme iron from minimally or highly fortified test meals. No differences were detected in blood indexes of iron status (including serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and non-transferrin-bound iron) or in blood lipids or transaminases, but heterozygotes had significantly greater, although normal, fasting glucose concentrations than did wild-type control subjects. Compound heterozygotes (those who had both HFE C282Y and H63D mutations) absorbed more nonheme (but not heme) iron from meals with high (but not low) iron bioavailability. CONCLUSIONS: HFE C282Y-heterozygous subjects did not absorb dietary iron more efficiently, even when foods were highly fortified with iron from ferrous sulfate and ascorbic acid, than did control subjects. Iron fortification of foods should not pose an additional health risk to HFE C282Y heterozygotes. Copyright © 2004 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Higher intakes of fish and n-3 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. However, limited data exist on the effect of fish intake on actual measures of progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to examine the association between fish intake and the progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in women with coronary artery disease. DESIGN: This was a prospective cohort study of postmenopausal women (n = 229) participating in the Estrogen Replacement and Atherosclerosis trial. Usual fish intake was estimated at baseline with a food-frequency questionnaire. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed at baseline and after 3.2 +/- 0.6 (x +/- SD) y to evaluate changes in the mean minimum coronary artery diameter, the mean percentage of stenosis, and the development of new coronary lesions. RESULTS: Compared with lower fish intakes, consumption of > or =2 servings of fish or > or =1 serving of tuna or dark fish per week was associated with smaller increases in the percentage of stenosis (4.54 +/- 1.37% compared with -0.06 +/- 1.59% and 5.12 +/- 1.48% compared with 0.35 +/- 1.47%, respectively; P < 0.05 for both) in diabetic women after adjustments for age, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and dietary intakes of fatty acids, cholesterol, fiber, and alcohol. These associations were not significant in nondiabetic women. Higher fish consumption was also associated with smaller decreases in minimum coronary artery diameter and fewer new lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of fish is associated with a significantly reduced progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in women with coronary artery disease.

AB  - BACKGROUND: An increased central distribution of fat with advancing age is associated with chronic metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities. Little is known about the magnitude or pattern of fat distribution and its association with healthy aging. OBJECTIVE: This study describes approximately 10-y changes in body composition at 11 anthropometric sites in elderly persons and the metabolic and physical activity factors associated with these changes. DESIGN: Skinfold thicknesses, girths, body fat by hydrodensitometry, physical activity by questionnaire, and metabolic variables were examined twice, 9.4 +/- 1.4 y apart, in 54 men and 75 women aged 60.4 +/- 7.8 y at baseline. RESULTS: Subcutaneous fat declined (-17.2%; P < 0.001), whereas total fat mass increased (7.2%; P < 0.05). Waist and hip circumference changes were the best anthropometric predictors of total fat mass change (r(2) = 0.40-0.65, P < 0.0001). Thigh girth change was more strongly associated with fat-free mass change (r(2) = 0.22, P < 0.01) than with fat mass change (r(2) = 0.07, P < 0.05) in women. An increase in physical activity was associated with an attenuation of thigh girth decline in men and women (F ratio = 5.13, P < 0.007). Traditional metabolic markers of visceral adiposity (triacylglycerol, glucose, and total cholesterol) were not significantly related to the change in waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS: Skinfold thicknesses cannot be used to assess changes in body fat mass because of age-related fat redistribution. Higher levels of physical activity can attenuate the decline in appendicular lean tissue expected over 10 y. Waist and thigh girths, rather than skinfold thicknesses, should be considered for use in longitudinal studies in the elderly because the changes in these girths capture increased abdominal adiposity and sarcopenia, respectively.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Energy requirements during pregnancy remain controversial because of uncertainties regarding maternal fat deposition and reductions in physical activity. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to estimate the energy requirements of healthy underweight, normal-weight, and overweight pregnant women and to explore energetic adaptations to pregnancy. DESIGN: The energy requirements of 63 women [17 with a low body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)), 34 with a normal BMI, and 12 with a high BMI] were estimated at 0, 9, 22, and 36 wk of pregnancy and at 27 wk postpartum. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was measured by calorimetry, total energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water, and activity energy expenditure (AEE) as TEE - BMR. Energy deposition was calculated from changes in body protein and fat. Energy requirements equaled the sum of TEE and energy deposition. RESULTS: BMR increased gradually throughout pregnancy at a mean (+/-SD) rate of 10.7 +/- 5.4 kcal/gestational week, whereas TEE increased by 5.2 +/- 12.8 kcal/gestational week, which indicated a slight decrease in AEE. Energy costs of pregnancy depended on BMI group. Although total protein deposition did not differ significantly by BMI group (mean for the 3 groups: 611 g protein), FM deposition did (5.3, 4.6, and 8.4 kg FM in the low-, normal-, and high-BMI groups; P = 0.02). Thus, energy costs differed significantly by BMI group (P = 0.02). In the normal-BMI group, energy requirements increased negligibly in the first trimester, by 350 kcal/d in the second trimester, and by 500 kcal/d in the third trimester. CONCLUSION: Extra energy intake is required by healthy pregnant women to support adequate gestational weight gain and increases in BMR, which are not totally offset by reductions in AEE.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Short-term high copper intake does not appear to affect indexes of copper status or functions related to copper status, but the effects of long-term high copper intake are unknown. OBJECTIVE: A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on indexes of copper status, oxidant damage, and immune function. DESIGN: Nine men were confined to a metabolic research unit (MRU) for 18 d and were fed a 3-d rotating menu providing an average of 1.6 mg Cu/d. The men continued the study under free-living conditions for 129 d and supplemented their usual diets with 7 mg Cu/d. The men then returned to the MRU for 18 d of the same diet as during the first period, except that copper intake was 7.8 mg/d. Plasma copper, ceruloplasmin activity, ceruloplasmin protein, plasma malondialdehyde, benzylamine oxidase activity, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, hair copper, urinary copper, and urinary thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were measured during each MRU period. RESULTS: Ceruloplasmin activity, benzylamine oxidase, and superoxide dismutase were significantly higher at the end of the second MRU period than at the end of the first. Urinary copper excretion, hair copper concentrations, and urinary thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were significantly higher during the second MRU period than during the first. Polymorphonuclear cell count, the percentage of white blood cells, lymphocyte count, and interleukin 2R were affected by copper supplementation. Antibody titer for the Beijing strain of influenza virus was significantly lower in supplemented subjects after immunization than in unsupplemented control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Under highly controlled conditions, long-term high copper intake results in increases in some indexes of copper status, alters an index of oxidant stress, and affects several indexes of immune function. The physiologic implications of these changes are unknown. Copyright © 2004 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The effect of individual dietary fatty acids on emerging risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are associated with subclinical inflammation is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The goal was to evaluate the role of dietary fat and specific fatty acids, especially trans fatty acids, in altering concentrations of markers of inflammation in humans fed controlled diets. DESIGN: In a randomized crossover design, 50 men consumed controlled diets for 5 wk that provided 15% of energy from protein, 39% of energy from fat, and 46% of energy from carbohydrate. Eight percent of fat or fatty acids was replaced across diets with the following: cholesterol, oleic acid, transfatty acids (TFAs), stearic acid (STE), TFA+STE (4% of energy each), and 12:0-16:0 saturated fatty acids (LMP). RESULTS: Fibrinogen concentrations were higher after consumption of the diet enriched in stearic acid than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet. C-reactive protein concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet, but were not significantly different after consumption of the TFA and TFA+STE diets than after consumption of the LMP diet. Interleukin 6 concentrations were lower after consumption of the oleic acid diet than after consumption of the LMP, TFA, and STE diets. E-selectin concentrations were higher after consumption of the TFA diet than after consumption of the carbohydrate diet. Consumption of the TFA but not the TFA+STE diet resulted in higher E-selectin concentrations than did the LMP diet. CONCLUSIONS: These data provide evidence that dietary fatty acids can modulate markers of inflammation. Although stearic acid minimally affects LDL cholesterol, it does appear to increase fibrinogen concentrations. Copyright © 2004 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Systemic inflammation and protein-energy malnutrition may be associated with poor outcomes in kidney disease. METHODS: We studied 26 adults (age, 65 +/- 10 [SD] years) with chronic kidney disease, not on dialysis therapy. Subjects were randomly assigned to resistance training (n = 14) or a control group (n = 12) for 12 weeks, while counseled to consume a low-protein diet (protein, approximately 0.6 g/kg/d). We determined whether resistance training reduces levels of inflammatory mediators (serum C-reactive protein [CRP] and interleukin-6 [IL-6]), in addition to previously reported improvements in nutritional and functional status in this same subject population. RESULTS: Serum CRP levels were reduced in subjects undergoing resistance training (-1.7 mg/L) compared with controls (1.5 mg/L; P = 0.05). Similarly, IL-6 levels were reduced in the resistance-exercise group versus controls (-4.2 versus 2.3 pg/mL; P = 0.01). Resistance training lead to skeletal muscle hypertrophy, shown by increases in type I (24% +/- 31%) and type II (22% +/- 41%) muscle fiber cross-sectional areas, compared with control subjects (-14% +/- 34% and -13% +/- 18%, respectively; P < 0.05). Muscle strength also improved with resistance training (28% +/- 14%) compared with controls (-13% +/- 22%; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Resistance training reduced inflammation and improved nutritional status in individuals with moderate chronic kidney disease consuming a low-protein diet. These results need to be investigated further in larger cohorts of patients with varying stages of kidney disease to determine whether resistance training can improve disease outcomes long term.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Longitudinal data regarding the influence of beverage intakes on calcium adequacy are lacking. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated calcium intake from ages 5 to 9 y as a function of mother-daughter beverage choices and as a predictor of bone mineral status. DESIGN: Intakes of energy, calcium, milk, sweetened beverages, fruit juices, and non-energy-containing beverages were measured with the use of three 24-h dietary recalls in 192 non-Hispanic white girls aged 5, 7, and 9 y and their mothers. Calcium intakes from ages 5 to 9 y were categorized as either meeting or falling below recommended adequate intakes (AIs). The girls' bone mineral status was assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at age 9 y. RESULTS: The mean 5-y calcium intake was related to bone mineral density at age 9 y (beta = 0.27, P < 0.001). The girls who met the AI for calcium were not heavier (P = 0.83) but had higher energy intakes (P < 0.0001) than did the girls who consumed less than the AI. Compared with the girls who consumed less than the AI, the girls who met the AI consumed, on average, almost twice as much milk (P < 0.0001), had smaller decreases in milk intake (P < 0.01), and consumed 18% less sweetened beverages (P < 0.01) from ages 5 to 9 y; the 2 groups did not differ significantly in juice and non-energy-containing beverage intakes. The girls who met the AI were also served milk more frequently than were the girls who consumed less than the AI (P < 0.0001) and had mothers who drank milk more frequently (P < 0.01) than did the mothers of the girls who consumed less than the AI. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide new longitudinal evidence that calcium intake predicts bone mineral status during middle childhood and reflects mother-daughter beverage choice patterns that are established well before the rapid growth and bone mineralization observed in adolescence.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The vitamin A requirements of elderly humans have not been studied. OBJECTIVE: In a cross-sectional study of 60-88-y-old men (n = 31) and women (n = 31) in rural Philippines, we assessed the dietary intakes of elders with adequate (> or = 0.07 micromol/g) or low (< 0.07 micromol/g) liver vitamin A concentrations to estimate vitamin A requirements for this age group. DESIGN: Total-body vitamin A was assessed by the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique; liver vitamin A concentrations were assessed by assuming that liver weight is 2.4% of body weight and that, in this marginally nourished population, 70% of total-body vitamin A is in the liver; serum retinol was measured by HPLC; and dietary intakes were assessed with 3 nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls. The mean vitamin A intake + 2 SDs of subjects with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations was used to estimate an acceptable or sufficient vitamin A intake value for elders. RESULTS: The mean (+/- SD) vitamin A intakes of the men and women with adequate vitamin A in liver were 135 +/- 86 and 134 +/- 104 microg retinol activity equivalents (RAE)/d, respectively; intakes of the men and women with low vitamin A in liver were 75 +/- 53 and 60 +/- 27 microg RAE/d, respectively. Total-body vitamin A or liver vitamin A but not serum retinol correlated with dietary RAE, preformed vitamin A, beta-carotene, fat, and protein. An estimated acceptable or sufficient dietary vitamin A intake associated with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations in elders is 6.45 microg RAE/kg body wt; for a reference 76-kg man and a 61-kg woman, these values are approximately 500 and 400 microg RAE/d, respectively. CONCLUSION: The dietary vitamin A intakes of elders with adequate or low liver vitamin A concentrations as estimated by use of the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique are useful for assessing vitamin A requirements.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The relation between physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and percentage body fat (%BF) is not very strong in the general population. It is possible that variables such as sex, food intake, or both may in part explain this poor coupling. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to show the relation between PAEE and %BF and to determine whether sex, food intake, or both influence the strength of the relation. DESIGN: We used doubly labeled water or energy intake balance, indirect calorimetry, dietary interview, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), food intake, and %BF, respectively, in 91 healthy persons (women: aged 48 y, 38.6%BF, n = 47; men: aged 47 y, 24.1%BF, n = 44). RESULTS: TEE, PAEE, and REE were significantly lower in women than in men. TEE was related to %BF in women (r = 0.53, P < 0.0001) but not in men (r = -0.22, P > 0.05). The relation between PAEE and %BF was significant in men (r = -0.34, P < 0.03) but not in women. PAL was also significantly related to %BF in men (r = -0.36, P < 0.02) but not in women. Macronutrient intake (% of total energy) did not differ significantly between the sexes, but carbohydrate (r = -0.44, P < 0.003) and fat (r = 0.31, P < 0.04) intakes were significantly related to %BF in women. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the relation between PAEE and %BF is stronger in men than in women. Macronutrient composition seems have a stronger influence on %BF in women than in men.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Adaptation of iron absorption in response to dietary iron bioavailability is less likely in premenopausal women, who generally have lower iron stores, than in men. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to ascertain whether iron absorption in women adapts to dietary iron bioavailability and whether adaptation reflects altered absorptive efficiency or adjustment to specific inhibitors or enhancers of absorption. DESIGN: Heme- and nonheme-iron absorption from either high- or low-bioavailability diets was measured at 0 and 10 wk in premenopausal women as they consumed one of the diets for 12 wk (randomized 2 x 2 factorial design). The high- and low-bioavailability diets contained similar amounts of total iron, as 13.1 and 14.8 mg/d nonheme and 2.0 and 0.3 mg/d heme iron, respectively, and they differed in contents of meat, ascorbate, whole grains, legumes, and tea. RESULTS: In premenopausal women, the efficiency of nonheme-iron absorption (P = 0.06, two-tailed test), but not of heme-iron absorption, tended to adapt in response to a 12-wk difference in dietary iron bioavailability, whether absorption was tested with high- or low-bioavailability menus. Bioavailability, but not adaptation, substantially influenced total iron absorption (approximately 6-fold). In contrast with iron absorption from the low-bioavailability diet, that from the high-bioavailability diet consistently was inversely associated with serum ferritin. CONCLUSION: Only the high-bioavailability diet enabled women to absorb more iron in relation to their low iron stores. Women consuming the high-bioavailability diet absorbed up to 4.5 mg (30-35%) dietary iron with minimal influence of the diet consumed during the previous 10 wk.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Preterm infants often receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) before enteral feeding. Although TPN has been linked to mucosal atrophy, its effects on intestinal digestion, absorption, and metabolism are unknown. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine the effects of TPN on rates of intestinal nutrient absorption and metabolism in infant pigs after initiation of enteral feeding. DESIGN: Piglets were surgically implanted with catheters in the carotid artery, jugular vein, portal vein, and duodenum; an ultrasonic blood flow probe was inserted in the portal vein. Piglets were given TPN (TPN group) or enterally fed formula (enteral group) for 6 d. On day 7, both groups were enterally fed a milk-based formula, and the net portal absorption and metabolism of enteral [(2)H]glucose and [(13)C]leucine were measured. RESULTS: After enteral feeding began, portal blood flow increased by 27% and 41% above the basal rate in the enteral and TPN groups, respectively; oxygen consumption remained lower in the TPN group. During enteral feeding, the net portal absorption of glucose was lower in the TPN group and that of galactose was not significantly different between the groups; lactate release was higher in the TPN group. Portal absorption accounted for only approximately 37% of galactose intake in both groups. The TPN group had lower net portal absorption of arginine, lysine, threonine, and glycine. The portal absorption of dietary leucine was not significantly different between the groups; the arterial utilization and oxidation of leucine were significantly lower in the TPN group. CONCLUSION: Short-term TPN results in decreased lactose digestion and hexose absorption and increased intestinal utilization of key essential amino acids when enteral feeding is initiated in piglets.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with improved health and a decreased prevalence of chronic degenerative processes. OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to assess the bioavailability of vitamin C from orange juice and its influence on plasma vitamin C and 8-epi-prostaglandin F(2 alpha) (8-epi-PGF(2 alpha)) concentrations in a healthy human population. DESIGN: Six men and 6 women consumed 500 mL commercial fresh-squeezed orange juice/d for 14 d, corresponding to an intake of 250 mg ascorbic acid/d. On the first day of the study, the subjects drank the juice in one dose (dose-response study), and on days 2-14 they consumed 250 mL in the morning and 250 mL in the afternoon. Blood was collected every hour for 6 h on the first day and again on days 7 and 14. RESULTS: Baseline plasma vitamin C concentrations were significantly higher (P = 0.03) among the women than among the men (56.4 +/- 4.4 compared with 44.3 +/- 3.5 micromol/L). In the dose-response study, the maximum increase in plasma vitamin C occurred 3 h postdose in both the men and the women. Vitamin C concentrations remained significantly higher on days 7 and 14 than at baseline. Baseline concentrations of 8-epi-PGF(2 alpha) were significantly higher (P = 0.03) among the men than among the women (249.6 +/- 25.4 compared with 177.7 +/- 6.2 pg/mL) but decreased significantly (P = 0.04) by day 14 of the intervention. A significant inverse correlation was observed between vitamin C and 8-epi-PGF(2 alpha) (r = -0.791, P = 0.0022). Among smokers, baseline vitamin C was lower and 8-epi-PGF(2 alpha) higher than among nonsmokers. CONCLUSIONS: Drinking orange juice (500 mL/d) increases plasma concentrations of vitamin C and reduces concentrations of 8-epi-PGF(2 alpha) in humans. These effects were significantly more pronounced in smokers. Copyright © 2003 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The association between weight status and the risk of lens opacities has received little attention. OBJECTIVE: We examined the cross-sectional relations of body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)), waist circumference, and diabetes with the presence of age-related lens opacities. DESIGN: Eye examinations were conducted in 466 Boston-area women aged 53-73 y who were without previously diagnosed cataracts and were part of the Nurses' Health Study cohort. Weight, height, waist, and hip measurements were obtained by self-report. Lens status was evaluated by using the Lens Opacification Classification System III (LOCS III). BMI and waist circumference were used as measures of overweight and abdominal adiposity, respectively. Nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular (PSC) opacities were defined as LOCS III scores > or = 2.5, > or = 1.0, and > or = 0.5, respectively. Diabetes was defined as a history of type 2 diabetes or as a fasting plasma glucose concentration > or = 7.0 mmol/L. RESULTS: Women with diabetes were significantly more likely to have PSC opacities [odds ratio (OR): 4.1; 95% CI: 1.8, 9.4] than were women with fasting plasma glucose concentrations < 6.1 mmol/L. Women with a BMI > or = 30 had a higher prevalence of PSC opacities than did women with a BMI < 25 (OR: 2.5; 1.2, 5.2), and women with a waist circumference > or = 89 cm had a higher prevalence of PSC opacities than did those with a waist circumference < 80 cm (OR: 2.3; 1.0, 5.2). Diabetes and measures of adiposity were unrelated to the prevalence of cortical and nuclear opacities. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes is a strong risk factor for PSC opacities, and overweight and abdominal adiposity may be risk factors for PSC opacities.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Quantitative information on the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A in humans is limited. OBJECTIVE: We determined the short- and long-term conversion of labeled beta-carotene to vitamin A by using a stable-isotope reference method. DESIGN: [(2)H(8)]beta-Carotene (11,011 nmol, or 6 mg) in oil was given with a liquid diet (25% of energy from fat) to 22 adult volunteers (10 men, 12 women). Three days after the [(2)H(8)]beta-carotene dose, the volunteers each took a dose of [(2)H(8)]retinyl acetate (8915 nmol, or 3 mg) in oil with the same liquid diet. Blood samples were collected over 56 d. RESULTS: The 53-d area under the serum [(2)H(4)]retinol response curve (from the [(2)H(8)]beta-carotene dose) was 569 +/- 385 nmol. d, and the 53-d area under the serum [(2)H(8)]retinol response curve (from the [(2)H(8)]retinyl acetate dose) was 1798 +/- 1139 nmol. d. With the use of [(2)H(8)]retinyl acetate as the vitamin A reference, the [(2)H(4)]retinol formed from [(2)H(8)]beta-carotene (11,011 nmol) was calculated to be equivalent to 3413.9 +/- 2298.4 nmol retinol. The conversion factor of beta-carotene to retinol varied from 2.4 to 20.2, and the average conversion factor was 9.1 to 1 by wt or 4.8 to 1 by mol. This conversion factor was positively correlated with body mass index (r = 0.57, P = 0.006). The postabsorption conversion of beta-carotene was estimated as 7.8%, 13.6%, 16.4%, and 19.0% of the total converted retinol at 6, 14, 21, or 53 d after the [(2)H(8)]beta-carotene dose, respectively. CONCLUSION: The quantitative determination of the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A in humans can be accomplished by using a stable-isotope reference method. This approach provides in vivo metabolic information after a physiologic dose of beta-carotene. Copyright © 2003 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Little is known about the determinants of individual variability in body weight and fat loss after gastric bypass surgery or about the effects of massive weight loss induced by this surgery on energy requirements. OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to determine changes in energy expenditure and body composition with weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery and to identify presurgery predictors of weight loss. DESIGN: Thirty extremely obese women and men with a mean (+/- SD) age of 39.0 +/- 9.6 y and a body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) of 50.1 +/- 9.3 were tested longitudinally under weight-stable conditions before surgery and after weight loss and stabilization (14 +/- 2 mo). Total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), body composition, and fasting leptin were measured. RESULTS: Subjects lost 53.2 +/- 22.2 kg body weight and had significant decreases in REE (-2.4 +/- 1.0 MJ/d; P < 0.001) and TEE (-3.6 +/- 2.5 MJ/d; P < 0.001). Changes in REE were predicted by changes in fat-free mass and fat mass. The average physical activity level (TEE/REE) was 1.61 at both baseline and follow-up (P = 0.98). Weight loss was predicted by baseline fat mass and BMI but not by any energy expenditure variable or leptin. Measured REE at follow-up was not significantly different from predicted REE. CONCLUSIONS: TEE and REE decreased by 25% on average after massive weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery. REE changes were predicted by loss of body tissue; thus, there was no significant long-term change in energy efficiency that would independently promote weight regain.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Test results on the bioavailability of isoflavones in the aglycone or glucoside form in Eastern and Western human subjects are contradictory. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate the bioavailability of the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein in American women with typical American dietary habits after ingestion of the aglycone or glucoside form of isoflavones. DESIGN: Fifteen American women aged 46 +/- 6 y participated in a randomized, double-blind study. Blood samples were collected 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after consumption of aglycone or glucoside tablets with breakfast. The plasma curves for daidzein, genistein, and equol were constructed and the postprandial maximum concentration (C(max)), time to the maximum concentration (t(max)), and area under the curve (AUC) were determined. RESULTS: Isoflavone concentrations peaked early (1-2 h) in plasma and peaked again at 4-8 h. Mean C(max), t(max), and AUC values for genistein were not significantly different after ingestion of aglycone or glucoside. However, C(max) and AUC values, but not t(max), were significantly higher for daidzein after aglycone ingestion, which was partly due to its higher content in the aglycone tablets. Equol appeared after 4 h and remained elevated after 48 h. Despite a higher content of daidzein in the aglycone tablets, the AUC for equol was significantly higher after ingestion of the glucoside tablets, probably because of the metabolic action of intestinal bacteria during the long intestinal transit time of glucoside. CONCLUSION: The apparent bioavailability of genistein and daidzein is not different when consumed as either aglycone or glucoside by American women.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The relative influence of diet and physical activity on body fatness remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate associations of dietary variables and physical activity with body fatness in urban Chinese adults. DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 130 weight-stable men and women aged 35-49 y. Subjects were selected from upper and lower tertiles of dietary fat and physical activity on the basis of screening questionnaires. Dietary intake was assessed by weighed food intake, physical activity level (PAL) was calculated as the ratio of predicted total energy expenditure (TEE) to predicted resting energy expenditure, and body composition was measured with the use of (2)H(2)O. Reported energy intake and predicted TEE were validated against TEE determined with the use of (2)H(2)(18)O (n = 73). RESULTS: Body fatness was positively associated with dietary variety (ie, variety of ingredients) (partial r = 0.186, P = 0.039) and frequency of consuming restaurant foods (partial r = 0.237, P = 0.001) and negatively associated with PAL (partial r = -0.307, P = 0.001) in a multiple regression analysis that controlled for sex and confounders. The combined variance accounted for by dietary variety and restaurant food consumption (9.1%) was equivalent to that for PAL (9.4%). Neither dietary fat nor energy density predicted body fatness, but dietary energy density predicted within-subject day-to-day variation in reported energy intake (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Dietary variety, frequency of restaurant food consumption, and PAL significantly predicted body fatness in urban Chinese adults, but dietary fat did not. These findings support previous studies in US adults and suggest that dietary variables other than fat have an important influence on adult body composition.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Whether large portion sizes affect children's eating behavior has rarely been studied. OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were 1) to determine the effects of repeated exposure to a large portion of an entree on preschool-aged children's awareness of portion size, self-selected portion size, and food intake and 2) to evaluate associations of children's responsiveness to portion size with weight status and overeating. DESIGN: Energy intake, bite size, and comments about portion size were evaluated among 30 children at 2 series of lunches in which either an age-appropriate portion or a large portion of an entree was served. On separate occasions, the children's self-served portions, weight, height, and tendency to overeat were assessed. RESULTS: Doubling an age-appropriate portion of an entree increased entree and total energy intakes at lunch by 25% and 15%, respectively. Changes were attributable to increases in the average size of the children's bites of the entree without compensatory decreases in the intake of other foods served at the meal. These increases were seen even though observational data indicated that the children were largely unaware of changes in portion size. Greater responsiveness to portion size was associated with higher levels of overeating. The children consumed 25% less of the entree when allowed to serve themselves than when served a large entree portion. CONCLUSIONS: Large entree portions may constitute an 'obesigenic' environmental influence for preschool-aged children by producing excessive intake at meals. Children with satiety deficits may be most susceptible to large portions. Allowing children to select their own portion size may circumvent the effects of exposure to large portions on children's eating. Copyright © 2003 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The conventional deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique provides a quantitative estimate of total body stores of vitamin A in humans. The procedure requires equilibration of serum deuterated retinol with nondeuterated retinol after administration of an oral dose of deuterated vitamin A. Equilibration takes approximately 3 wk to complete. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to develop a predictive mathematical formula for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A in adults by using a procedure that takes less time to perform because serum isotope equilibration is not required, so that blood drawing can be done 3 d, instead of approximately 3 wk, after isotope dosing. DESIGN: Ratios of serum deuterated to nondeuterated retinol (D:H retinol) were determined in Filipino adults (n = 68) 3 and 20 d after an oral dose of 0.015 mmol [(2)H(4)]retinyl acetate and in Guatemalan adults (n = 15) 3 and 21 d after a 0.030-mmol dose. D:H retinol values 20 or 21 d after the isotope dose were used in a mathematical formula to obtain quantitative estimates of total body stores of vitamin A that were then correlated with serum D:H retinol values 3 d after the isotope dose. RESULTS: The relation between these variables was nonlinear and was described by the following equation: total body stores of vitamin A (in mmol retinol) = 0.00468 x 10(37(isotope dose in mmol))/D:H retinol in serum 3 d after the isotope dose. CONCLUSION: A 3-d DRD technique could be used for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A; this technique takes less time than does the conventional DRD technique.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The energy requirements of women have been based on total energy expenditure (TEE) derived from the factorial approach or as multiples of basal metabolic rate (BMR). OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to reevaluate the energy requirements of healthy, moderately active underweight, normal-weight, and overweight women of reproductive age. DESIGN: The energy requirements of 116 women [n = 13 with a low body mass index (BMI), n = 70 with a normal BMI, and n = 33 with a high BMI] were estimated from TEE measured by the doubly labeled water method. Twenty-four-hour EE and BMR were measured by room respiration calorimetry, activity EE was estimated from nonbasal EE as TEE - BMR, and physical activity level was calculated as TEE/BMR. Body composition was derived from a multicomponent model. Fitness, strength, and physical activity level were assessed, and fasting serum indexes were measured. RESULTS: Energy requirements differed among the low-BMI (8.9 +/- 0.9 MJ/d), normal-BMI (10.1 +/- 1.4 MJ/d), and high-BMI (11.5 +/- 1.9 MJ/d) groups (P = 0.02-0.001, all pairwise comparisons). Major predictors of BMR, 24-h EE, and TEE were weight, height, and body composition; minor predictors were fasting metabolic profile and fitness. Fat-free mass and fat mass accounted for the differences in EE seen between the BMI groups. The mean physical activity level of 1.86 suggested that the multiples of BMR used to estimate energy requirements have been underestimated. CONCLUSION: Recommended energy intakes for healthy, moderately active women of reproductive age living in industrialized societies should be revised on the basis of TEE.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The quantity and type of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can alter essential fatty acid metabolism in humans. Diets rich in 20- and 22-carbon PUFAs may inhibit desaturase expression or activity and decrease the synthesis of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids. OBJECTIVE: It was theorized that the fat content of a fish-based diet would inhibit the kinetics of the in vivo metabolism of n-3 fatty acids compared with a beef-based diet. DESIGN: A compartmental model was used to determine the coefficients of the kinetic rate constants from the plasma concentration time curves of pentadeuterated (d(5)) 18:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:5n-3, and 22:6n-3 of 10 subjects who subsisted on 3 diets with different long-chain PUFA contents. For 3 wk, subjects reported their food intake from their usual diets and then consumed a beef-based diet for 3 wk and then a fish-based diet for an additional 3 wk. Subjects consumed 1 g d(5)-18:3n-3 ethyl ester at weeks 3, 6, and 9. Blood was drawn over 168 h and the plasma analyzed for fatty acids. The coefficients of the kinetic constants of n-3 fatty acid metabolism and the percentage utilization of the substrates were determined. RESULTS: Across all diets, < 1% of plasma 18:3n-3 was utilized for long-chain PUFA synthesis. There was a 70% reduction in the value of the rate constant coefficient that regulated transfer of the isotope from the 22:5n-3 compartment to 22:6n-3 when the fish-based diet was compared with the beef-based diet. The turnover rate of plasma d(5)-22:6n-3 also decreased. CONCLUSIONS: The primary effect of a fish-based diet on the kinetics of n-3 metabolism involves processes that inhibit the synthesis of 22:6n-3 from 22:5n-3. These processes may involve a system of feedback control mechanisms responsive to the plasma concentration of 22:6n-3. Copyright © 2003 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Low dietary vitamin K intake has been associated with an increased risk of hip fracture in men and women. Few data exist on the association between dietary vitamin K intake and bone mineral density (BMD). OBJECTIVE: We studied cross-sectional associations between self-reported dietary vitamin K intake and BMD of the hip and spine in men and women aged 29-86 y. DESIGN: BMD was measured at the hip and spine in 1112 men and 1479 women (macro x +/- SD age: 59 +/- 9 y) who participated in the Framingham Heart Study (1996-2000). Dietary and supplemental intakes of vitamin K were assessed with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire. Additional covariates included age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity score, and menopause status and current estrogen use among the women. RESULTS: Women in the lowest quartile of vitamin K intake (macro x: 70.2 microg/d) had significantly (P < or = 0.005) lower mean (+/- SEM) BMD at the femoral neck (0.854 +/- 0.006 g/cm(2)) and spine (1.140 +/- 0.010 g/cm(2)) than did those in the highest quartile of vitamin K intake (macro x: 309 microg/d): 0.888 +/- 0.006 and 1.190 +/- 0.010 g/cm(2), respectively. These associations remained after potential confounders were controlled for and after stratification by age or supplement use. No significant association was found between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men. CONCLUSIONS: Low dietary vitamin K intake was associated with low BMD in women, consistent with previous reports that low dietary vitamin K intake is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. In contrast, there was no association between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Difficulty adapting to high-fat (HF) and high carbohydrate (HC) diets may predispose children to obesity and diabetes. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that children have metabolic flexibility to adapt to HF and HC diets. DESIGN: In protocol 1, 12 children aged 6-9 y and 12 adolescents aged 13-16 y were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume low-fat (LF), HC (25% and 60% of energy, respectively) or HF, low-carbohydrate (LC) (55% and 30% of energy, respectively) diets. In protocol 2, 12 adolescents aged 13-16 y were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume an LF-HC diet with 11% or 40% of carbohydrate as fructose. Total energy expenditure, nonprotein respiratory quotients (NPRQs), and substrate utilization were measured by using 24-h calorimetry. Effects of sex, puberty, body fat (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), intraabdominal fat (magnetic resonance imaging), and fitness on substrate utilization were tested. RESULTS: Substrate utilization was not affected by puberty, body fat, intraabdominal fat, or fitness. Total energy expenditure was not affected by diet. In protocol 1, NPRQs and carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly affected by diet (P = 0.001) and sex (P = 0.005). NPRQs and carbohydrate utilization increased with the LF-HC diet. NPRQs decreased and fat utilization increased with the HF-LC diet; changes in substrate utilization were less pronounced in females than in males. In protocol 2, 24-h NPRQs and 24-h substrate utilization were not significantly affected by fructose, although net carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly lower and higher, respectively, with the high-fructose diet during fasting (P = 0.01) and in the subsequent feeding period (P = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Healthy, nonobese children and adolescents adapt appropriately to HF and HC diets.

N2  - During the neonatal period, high protein breakdown rate is a metabolic process inherent to elevated rates of protein accretion in skeletal muscle. To determine the relationship between hindlimb net movements of essential and nonessential amino acids in the regulation of hindlimb protein breakdown during an overnight fasting-feeding cycle, we infused overnight-food-deprived 10- and 28-day-old piglets with [1-13C]phenylalanine and [ring-2H4]tyrosine over 7 h (during 3 h of fasting and then during 4 h of feeding). Extraction rates for aspartate and glutamate after an overnight fast were 15% and 51% in the 10-day-old compared with 6% and 25% in the 28-day-old (P < 0.05) piglets, suggesting an altered requirement for precursors of amino acids to shuttle nitrogen to the liver as early life progresses. This occurred simultaneously with marginal positive hindlimb net balance of essential amino acids after an overnight fast, with negative net release of many nonessential amino acids, such as alanine, asparagine, glutamine, glycine, and proline. This suggests that newborn muscle does not undergo significant protein mobilization after a short period of fasting in support of an elevated rate of protein accretion. Furthermore, tyrosine efflux from hindlimb breakdown between overnight fasting and feeding periods was not different in the 10-day-old piglets, for which tyrosine was limiting, but when tyrosine supply balanced requirements in the 28-day-old piglet, hindlimb efflux was increased (P = 0.01). The results of the present study indicate that proteolysis and net movements of amino acids are coordinated mechanisms that sustain the elevated rate of net protein accretion during overnight feeding-fasting cycles in the neonate.

N2  - The article focuses on a study on the association between food insecurity and total daily intakes in men and women in the U.S. Findings show that an increase in meal size and the energy gained by snacking appears to compensate for a decreased meal frequency among food insecure (FI) people. It was also found that skipping meals can be linked with diets that are adequate and possible more than adequate in energy. The authors recommend that nutrition intervention aimed at FI individuals should target meal and snack behavior.

N2  - The article presents the results of a study on the role of estradiol (E2) in preventing adiposity during menopause in rats. Low concentrations of E2 were found to have activated the adenosine monophosphate (AMP) protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. Incubation of myotubes with E2 and 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) enhanced the AMPK activation at low E2 concentrations than E2 treatment alone. The researchers found that estrogen metabolite 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-HE2) directly activated AMPK in C2C12 myotubes.

N2  - We report a new method to measure the fraction of glucose derived from gluconeogenesis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and positive chemical ionization. After ingestion of deuterium oxide by subjects, glucose derived from gluconeogenesis is labeled with deuterium. Our calculations of gluconeogenesis are based on measurements of the average enrich- ment of deuterium on carbon I, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of glucose and the deuterium enrichment in body water. In a sample from an adult volunteer after ingestion of deuterium oxide, fractional gluconeogen- esis using the "average deuterium enrichment method" was 48.3 ± 0.5% (mean ± SD) and that with the C-5 hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) method by Landau et al. (Landau BR, Wahren J, Chan-dramouli V, Schumann WC, Ekberg K, Kalhan SC; J C/in Invest 98: 378-385, 1996) was 46.9 ± 5.4%. The coefficient of variation of 10 replicate analyses using the new method was 1.0% compared with 11.5% for the C-5 HMT method. In samples derived from an infant receiving total parenteral nutrition, fractional gluconeogenesis was 13.3 ± 0.3% using the new method and 13.7 ± 0.8% using the C-5 HMT method. Fractional gluconeogenesis measured in six adult volunteers after 66 h of continuous fasting was 83.7 ± 2.3% using the new method and 84.2 ± 5.0% using the C-S HMT method. In conclusion, the average deuterium enrichment method is simple, highly reproducible, and cost effective. Furthermore, it requires only small blood sample volumes. With the use of an additional tracer, glucose rate of appearance can also be measured during the same analysis. Thus the new method makes measurements of gluconeogenesis available and affordable to large numbers of investigators under conditions of low and high fractional gluconeogenesis (- 10 to -90) in all subject populations.

N2  - Increased dietary linoleic acid has been associated with reduced blood pressure in clinical and animal studies possibly mediated by prostaglandins. Urinary linoleate and prostaglandin metabolite excretion were investigated in subjects exposed to a salt-loading/salt-depletion regimen. Twelve healthy subjects were recruited from the New Orleans population (before Hurricaine Katrina) and admitted to the Tulane-Louisiana State University-Charity Hospital General Clinical Research Center after a 5-day outpatient lead-in phase on a 160-mmol sodium diet. On inpatient day 1, the subjects were maintained on the 160-mmol sodium diet, and a 24-hour urine specimen was collected. On day 2, the subjects received 2 L of IV normal saline over 4 hours and continued on a 160-mmol Na(+) diet (total: 460 mmol of sodium). Two 12-hour urine collections were obtained. On day 3, the subjects received three 40-mg oral doses of furosemide, two 12-hour urine collections were obtained, and the subjects were given a 10-mmol sodium diet. Urinary oxidized lipids were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectroscopy. The excretion of the urinary linoleate metabolites, dihydroxyoctadecamonoenoic acids, and trihydroxyoctadecamonoenoic acids increased significantly during intravenous salt loading as compared with day 1 and the salt-depleted periods. The urinary excretion of 6-keto- prostaglandin F1alpha was unaffected by salt loading but was dramatically increased 7- to 10-fold by salt depletion. Prostaglandin E2 excretion was positively correlated with sodium excretion. The salt-stimulated production of linoleic acid diols and triols may inhibit tubular sodium reabsorption, thereby assisting in the excretion of the sodium load. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - BACKGROUND: Immune structure and function are more compromised in edematous protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) than in nonedematous PEM. Whether the positive acute-phase protein (APP) response to infection is affected remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether children with edematous PEM can mount a general APP response and compared the kinetic mechanisms of the response in children with edematous PEM with those in children with nonedematous PEM. DESIGN: Plasma C-reactive protein, alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein, alpha(1)-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen concentrations and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of alpha(1)-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen were measured in 14 children with edematous PEM, aged 11.4 +/- 2 mo, and 9 children with nonedematous PEM, aged 10.1 +/- 1.4 mo, at 3 times: approximately 2 d after hospital admission (period 1), when they were malnourished and infected; approximately 8 d after admission (period 2), when they were malnourished but free of infection; and approximately 54 d after admission (period 3), when they had recovered. RESULTS: Children with edematous and nonedematous PEM had higher plasma concentrations of 4 of 5 APPs in period 1 than in period 3. The magnitude of the difference in concentration and in the rate of synthesis of the individual APPs was less in the children with edematous PEM than in those with nonedematous PEM. The kinetic data show that the characteristics of the APP response were different in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that severely malnourished children can mount only a partial APP response to the stress of infection and that the magnitude of this response is less in those with edema.

AB  - BACKGROUND: High body iron stores may increase the risk of several chronic diseases. Whether dietary factors contribute to the risk of high iron stores is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the relation between dietary factors and the risk of high iron stores in the elderly Framingham Heart Study cohort. DESIGN: We examined the relation between the usual intake of dietary factors (food-frequency questionnaire) and the risk of high iron stores (serum ferritin >300 and 200 micro g/L in men and women, respectively) in 614 subjects aged 68-93 y. RESULTS: The risk of high iron stores was significantly higher 1) in subjects who took > or =30 mg supplemental Fe/d than in nonusers [odds ratio (OR): 4.32; 95% CI: 1.63, 11.47], 2) in subjects who consumed >21 servings of fruit/wk than in those who consumed < or =14 servings/wk (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.26, 6.61), and 3) in subjects who consumed >4 but <7 or > or=7 servings of red meat/wk than in those who consumed < or =4 servings/wk (ORs: 2.94 and 3.61, respectively; 95% CIs: 1.33, 6.47 and 1.57, 8.27, respectively). Whole-grain intake (>7 servings/wk) was inversely associated (OR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.75). CONCLUSIONS: Among elders, intakes of highly bioavailable forms of iron (supplemental iron and red meat) and of fruit, a dietary source of an enhancer of nonheme-iron absorption (vitamin C), promote high iron stores, whereas foods containing phytate (whole grains) decrease these stores.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The recent increase in the dietary calcium recommendation from 800 to 1200 mg/d for persons aged > 51 y has made it important to identify alternative high-calcium dietary sources that the elderly can use in meeting their calcium requirement. OBJECTIVE: We determined the bioavailability of calcium from 3 different sources: orange juice fortified with calcium-citrate malate, skim milk, and a calcium carbonate supplement. DESIGN: Twelve subjects [9 women and 3 men with a mean (+/- SEM) age of 70 +/- 3 and 76 +/- 6 y, respectively] consumed low-calcium (300 mg/d) and high-calcium (1300 mg/d) diets for three 1-wk periods each during a 6-wk crossover study. The acute biochemical response to calcium from each of the 3 sources was assessed during a 4-h period after the initial breakfast meal of the high-calcium diet. RESULTS: Postprandial suppression of serum parathyroid hormone did not differ significantly between the test meals containing calcium-fortified orange juice, the calcium carbonate supplement, and milk. This finding suggests that the calcium bioavailability from the 3 sources was equivalent. During the 1-wk high-calcium diet periods, fasting serum calcium increased by 3% (P < 0.0001), serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D decreased by 20% (P < 0.0001), and a biomarker of bone resorption (serum N-telopeptide collagen cross-links) decreased by 14% (P < 0.02) compared with the low-calcium diet period. However, no differences among the supplemental calcium sources were found in these calcium-responsive measures or fasting serum parathyroid hormone concentration. CONCLUSIONS: In elderly subjects, the calcium bioavailability of the 3 high-calcium dietary sources tested was equivalent, during both the acute postprandial and longer-term periods.

AB  - BACKGROUND: There are limited data about dietary intakes and plasma lipids of elderly US Hispanics. OBJECTIVE: The disparity in prevalence of type 2 diabetes among population groups underscored our need to assess dietary and plasma risk factors for cardiovascular disease. DESIGN: Plasma lipids and apolipoproteins and dietary intakes of macronutrients were measured in elderly subjects (60-98 y): 490 Hispanics of Caribbean origin (Puerto Ricans and Dominicans) and 163 non-Hispanic whites. Plasma values were related to ethnicity and to macronutrient intake. Differences in plasma lipids due to diabetes were assessed among the Hispanics. RESULTS: Intakes of carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher and intakes of cholesterol and saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were lower in Hispanics than in non-Hispanic whites. Concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-I were significantly lower among Hispanic women than among non-Hispanic white women; a similar trend was seen in men. Dyslipidemia (high triacylglycerols and low HDL cholesterol) was more prevalent among Hispanics with than without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Ethnic differences in serum lipids exist and appear to be associated with differences in dietary intakes. However, both Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites had lipid profiles indicating a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Hispanics with diabetes were at higher risk of dyslipidemia than were those without diabetes. Our data suggest that lifestyle changes, including diet modification and exercise, could be of significant benefit to both ethnic groups. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes cachexia, a metabolic response characterized by loss of muscle mass and elevated resting energy expenditure (REE). However, energy expenditure in physical activity in subjects with RA is lower than that in healthy subjects. It is not known which effect predominates in regulating total energy expenditure (TEE), and thus whether the dietary energy requirements of subjects with RA are higher or lower than those of healthy subjects. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine TEE in women with RA by using the reference method of doubly labeled water ((2)H(2)(18)O). DESIGN: In this case-control study, we examined 20 women with RA and 20 healthy women who were matched for age and body mass index. RESULTS: The patients with RA were cachectic (their body cell mass was 14% lower than that of the controls, P < 0.001), but REE was not elevated, reflecting good disease control. Mean (+/- SD) TEE was 1344 kJ/d lower in the patients than in the controls (9133 +/- 1335 compared with 10 477 +/- 1992 kJ/d; P < 0.02). The energy expenditure in physical activity of the patients was 1034 kJ/d lower than that of the controls (P < 0.04), which accounted for 77% of the difference in TEE between the 2 groups. The physical activity level (TEE/REE) of the patients also tended to be lower than that of the controls (1.70 +/- 0.24 compared with 1.89 +/- 0.36; P < 0.07). CONCLUSION: A low physical activity level is the main determinant of lower-than-normal TEE, and thus energy requirements, in women with RA. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Although the reduction in whole-body protein turnover and net protein loss induced by protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) has been well documented, it is unclear whether the protein-sparing mechanisms elicited by chronically inadequate intakes of dietary protein and energy are affected by the protein catabolic response to infection. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether the presence of infection alters the PEM-induced reduction in whole-body protein metabolism. DESIGN: We determined whole-body leucine kinetics in 4 boys and 3 girls aged 6-15 mo with edematous PEM and infection approximately 3 d after admission (study 1), when they were both infected and malnourished; approximately 11 d after admission (study 2), when infection had resolved but they were still anthropometrically malnourished; and at recovery (study 3), when weight-for-length was at least 90% of that expected. RESULTS: The children had significantly less leucine flux in both study 1 and study 2 than they had in study 3. There were no significant differences in the amount of leucine released from protein breakdown or used for protein synthesis between study 1 and study 2. There were no significant differences in leucine balance or in either the amount or percentage of enteral leucine extracted by the splanchnic tissues among the 3 studies. CONCLUSIONS: When subjects are in the fed state, severe PEM induces a marked reduction in whole-body protein synthesis and breakdown rates, and the presence of infection does not alter this adaptation and hence the overall protein balance. A corollary is that children with severe PEM do not mount a protein catabolic response to infection. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Energy requirements and nutrient intakes are commonly estimated from self-reported dietary records, but such estimation has proven to be unreliable. When energy intakes determined from dietary records are compared with energy expenditures measured with the use of doubly labeled water, the former consistently underestimate energy requirements and have a high degree of variability. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to reduce the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records through the use of stepwise multiple regression analysis to develop models that relate energy expenditure measured with the use of doubly labeled water to energy intake from dietary records, sex, and fat-free mass (or weight and height). DESIGN: Data from 54 healthy adult men and women were used to develop these models. RESULTS: Fat-free mass, energy intake, and sex accounted for 86% of the variability in energy expenditure, whereas energy intake, sex, height, and weight accounted for 83%. When the model relating fat-free mass, energy intake, and sex to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records from -17 +/- 27% to 3 +/- 16%. When the model relating energy intake, sex, weight, and height to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records from -19 +/- 25% to -0.3 +/- 19%. CONCLUSION: Results from this study indicate that a simple relation can be used to correct self-reported dietary records to estimated energy requirements.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Estimates of body-composition change in older adults are mostly derived from cross-sectional data. OBJECTIVE: We examined the natural longitudinal patterns of change in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in older adults and explored the effect of physical activity, weight change, and age on these changes. DESIGN: The body composition measured by hydrodensitometry and the level of sports and recreational activity (SRA) of 53 men and 78 women with a mean (+/-SD) initial age of 60.7 +/- 7.8 y were examined on 2 occasions separated by a mean (+/-SD) time of 9.4 +/- 1.4 y. RESULTS: FFM decreased in men (2.0% per decade) but not in women, whereas FM increased similarly in both sexes (7.5% per decade). Levels of SRA decreased more in men than in women over the follow-up period. Baseline age and level of SRA were inversely and independently associated with changes in FM in women only. Neither age nor level of SRA was associated with changes in FFM in men or women. Weight-stable subjects lost FFM. FFM accounted for 19% of body weight in those who gained weight, even in the presence of decreased levels of SRA. Loss of FFM (33% of body weight) was pronounced in those who lost weight, despite median SRA levels >4184 kJ/wk. CONCLUSIONS: On average, FM increased; however, the increase in women was attenuated with advancing age. The decrease in FFM over the follow-up period was small and masked the wide interindividual variation that was dependent on the magnitude of weight change. The contribution of weight stability, modest weight gains, or lifestyle changes that include regular resistance exercise in attenuating lean-tissue loss with age should be explored.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Quantitative data on the mucosal uptake and serosal transfer of nonheme-iron absorption in humans and the effects of calcium on these components are limited. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to measure the initial mucosal uptake and the subsequent serosal transfer of nonheme iron and to determine the effects of adding calcium to a meal on both heme- and nonheme-iron retention. DESIGN: Whole-gut lavage and whole-body scintillation counting methods were applied to determine the 8-h uptake of nonheme iron and the 2-wk retention (absorption) of heme and nonheme iron in healthy adults (n = 17) after the consumption of meals of radiolabeled food. RESULTS: The initial uptake and absorption of nonheme iron were 11% and 7%, respectively, and the absorption of heme iron was 15%. Two-thirds of the nonheme iron taken up by the mucosa within 8 h was retained by the body after 2 wk (serosal transfer index: 0.63). Serum ferritin correlated inversely with the initial uptake and absorption of nonheme iron, but not with the nonheme serosal transfer index or the absorption of heme iron. Adding calcium (127 mg in cheese) to the meal did not affect absorption. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of its association with serum ferritin, the initial mucosal uptake was the primary control point for nonheme-iron absorption. An apparent reduction in heme-iron absorption associated with the lavage procedure suggested that uptake of heme iron may take longer and proceed further through the intestine than that of nonheme iron. The absorption of both forms of iron was unaffected by the addition of cheese to this meal with high iron bioavailability. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The influence of whole grains on cardiovascular disease risk may be mediated through multiple pathways, eg, a reduction in blood lipids and blood pressure, an enhancement of insulin sensitivity, and an improvement in blood glucose control. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the association between diets rich in whole- or refined-grain foods and several metabolic markers of disease risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort. DESIGN: Whole-grain intake and metabolic risk markers were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2941 subjects. RESULTS: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, whole-grain intake was inversely associated with body mass index (: 26.9 in the lowest and 26.4 in the highest quintile of intake; P for trend = 0.06), waist-to-hip ratio (0.92 and 0.91, respectively; P for trend = 0.005), total cholesterol (5.20 and 5.09 mmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.06), LDL cholesterol (3.16 and 3.04 mmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.02), and fasting insulin (205 and 199 pmol/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.03). There were no significant trends in metabolic risk factor concentrations across quintile categories of refined-grain intake. The inverse association between whole-grain intake and fasting insulin was most striking among overweight participants. The association between whole-grain intake and fasting insulin was attenuated after adjustment for dietary fiber and magnesium. CONCLUSION: Increased intakes of whole grains may reduce disease risk by means of favorable effects on metabolic risk factors. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Within the past 10 y, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become one of the most widely used methods of measuring human body composition. However, DXA has not been fully evaluated against an independent criterion method of measuring body fatness in young females. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine the bias and agreement between DXA and a 4-compartment model in predicting the percentage of fat mass (%FM) in a multiethnic group of young females. DESIGN: The %FM values measured by DXA of 73 white, 43 African American, 14 Hispanic, and 11 Asian females with a mean (+/- SD) age of 13.0 +/- 1.9 y were compared with the 4-compartment values, which were based on measurements of body density, body water, and bone mineral content. RESULTS: The %FM values measured by the 2 methods were correlated at r = 0.90 with an SEE of 3.3%; Bland-Altman analysis indicated an average bias of 3.9%. After nullification of the average bias, an individual estimate of %FM by DXA could be underestimated or overestimated by 6.7% when compared with the 4-compartment value. CONCLUSIONS: DXA is an appropriate method for estimating body composition in a group of young females because its bias and limits of agreement are independent of age, ethnicity, and body fatness. However, the limits of agreement of 6.7% could cause an individual FM value to be underestimated or overestimated by 28% relative to the 4-compartment value. Therefore, DXA may not be the optimal method of measuring the body fatness of young females. Copyright © 2002 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Eating when exposed to large portions of palatable foods in the absence of hunger has been suggested to contribute to overweight. OBJECTIVE: This research evaluated whether young girls' eating in the absence of hunger was stable across a 2-y period in middle childhood, was associated with an increased risk of overweight, and could be predicted by parents' use of restriction in child feeding. DESIGN: The participants were 192 non-Hispanic white girls and their parents, assessed when the girls were 5 and 7 y of age. The girls' eating when exposed to palatable foods in the absence of hunger was measured after they consumed a standard lunch and indicated that they were no longer hungry. RESULTS: Eating in the absence of hunger showed moderate stability across the 2-y period for most of the girls. The girls who ate large amounts of snack foods in the absence of hunger at 5 and 7 y of age were 4.6 times as likely to be overweight at both ages. Parents' reports of restricting their daughter's access to foods at age 5 y predicted girls' eating in the absence of hunger at age 7 y, even when the girls' weight status and eating in the absence of hunger at age 5 y were controlled for. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first evidence that young girls' eating in the absence of hunger may represent a stable phenotypic behavior of young overweight girls. In addition, these findings are consistent with previous work indicating that parents' restrictive feeding practices may contribute to this behavior.

AB  - Context: Epidemiologic data demonstrate that moderate alcohol intake is associated with improved insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic individuals. No controlled-diet studies have addressed the effects of daily moderate alcohol consumption on fasting insulin and glucose concentrations and insulin sensitivity.Objective: To determine whether daily consumption of low to moderate amounts of alcohol influences fasting insulin and glucose concentrations and insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic postmenopausal women.Design, Setting, and Participants: Randomized controlled crossover trial of 63 healthy postmenopausal women, conducted at a clinical research center in Maryland between 1998 and 1999.Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to consume 0, 15, or 30 g/d of alcohol for 8 weeks each as part of a controlled diet. All foods and beverages were provided during the intervention. An isocaloric beverage was provided in the 0-g/d arm. Energy intake was adjusted to maintain constant body weight.Main Outcome Measures: Fasting insulin, triglyceride, and glucose concentrations, measured at the end of each dietary period; insulin sensitivity, estimated with a published index of glucose disposal rate corrected for fat-free mass based on fasting insulin and fasting triglyceride concentrations, compared among treatments with a mixed-model analysis of variance.Results: A complete set of plasma samples was collected and analyzed for 51 women who completed all diet treatments. Consumption of 30 g/d of alcohol compared with 0 g/d reduced fasting insulin concentration by 19.2% (P =.004) and triglyceride concentration by 10.3% (P =.001), and increased insulin sensitivity by 7.2% (P =.002). Normal-weight, overweight, and obese individuals responded similarly. Only fasting triglyceride concentration was significantly reduced when comparing 0 and 15 g/d of alcohol (7.8%; P =.03), and no difference was found between consumption of 15 and 30 g/d of alcohol; however, there was a significant linear trend (P =.001). Fasting glucose concentrations were not different across treatments.Conclusions: Consumption of 30 g/d of alcohol (2 drinks per day) has beneficial effects on insulin and triglyceride concentrations and insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic postmenopausal women.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/d) may decrease cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women by improving lipid profiles. OBJECTIVE: We measured the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on lipids and lipoproteins in postmenopausal women. DESIGN: Postmenopausal women (n = 51) consumed 0 (control), 15 (1 drink), and 30 (2 drinks) g alcohol (ethanol)/d for 8 wk each as part of a controlled diet in a randomized crossover design. The control diet provided approximately 15%, 53%, and 32% of energy from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively. The energy provided from alcohol in the 15- and 30-g alcohol diets was replaced with energy from carbohydrate. RESULTS: Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma LDL cholesterol decreased from 3.45 to 3.34 mmol/L (P = 0.04) and triacylglycerol from 1.43 to 1.34 mmol/L (P = 0.05) after 15 g alcohol/d. There were no additional significant decreases in either lipid after an increase in alcohol intake from 15 to 30 g/d. Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma HDL cholesterol increased nonsignificantly from 1.40 to 1.43 mmol/L after 15 g alcohol/d but increased to 1.48 mmol/L after 30 g alcohol/d (P = 0.02). Apolipoprotein A-I increased significantly and apolipoprotein B decreased significantly after 30 g alcohol/d relative to the concentration after the control diet. CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of 15-30 g alcohol/d by postmenopausal women apparently decreases cardiovascular disease risk by improving lipid profiles. Plasma LDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations improve after 15 g alcohol/d; plasma HDL cholesterol improves only after 30 g alcohol/d.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Magnesium has been suggested to be beneficial in counteracting all phases of the processes that lead to ischemic heart disease, including terminal events such as arrhythmia and sudden death. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that an intake of magnesium considerably below the recommended dietary allowance can produce chemical and physiologic evidence of depletion. DESIGN: Twenty-two postmenopausal women were maintained in a metabolic unit and ate a diet of conventional foods containing less than one-half of or more than the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium (320 mg/d). Dietary assignments were random and double blind in a crossover design. Magnesium concentrations were measured by spectroscopy and ion-specific electrolyte analysis, and Holter electrocardiograms lasting approximate 21 h were recorded. RESULTS: Magnesium concentrations in erythrocytes, serum (total and ultrafilterable), and urine were significantly lower when dietary magnesium was lower. Holter monitors showed a significant increase in both supraventricular and supraventricular plus ventricular beats when the dietary magnesium concentration was low. Hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, and hypokalemia were not found. CONCLUSIONS: The magnesium requirement was defined with the use of biochemical and electrophysiologic criteria. The recommended dietary allowance of 320 mg/d seems correct; 130 mg is too little. Persons who live in soft water areas, who use diuretics, or who are predisposed to magnesium loss or ectopic beats may require more dietary magnesium than would others.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Various methods are used by epidemiologists to estimate the energy cost of physical activity; these include physical activity records and recalls. However, there is limited validation of these methods against the doubly labeled water technique for determining energy expenditure (EE). OBJECTIVE: We compared EE as estimated by indirect methods (physical activity records and recall questionnaires) used in epidemiologic studies with EE obtained from doubly labeled water (EE(DLW)) in free-living men. DESIGN: We determined EE(DLW), energy intake at weight maintenance, and EE from 7-d physical activity records (EE(Record)) and a 7-d physical activity recall questionnaire (EE(Recall)) in 24 men aged 41 plus minus 2.0 y ( plus minus SEM) with a body mass index (in kg/m(2)) of 25.1 plus minus 0.5. RESULTS: There was excellent agreement between EE(DLW) (13.27 plus minus 0.35 MJ/d) and energy intake (13.19 plus minus 0.36 MJ/d), with a difference of 0.5 plus minus 1.0% ( plus minus SE). The indirect measures of physical activity and EE were 14.17 plus minus 0.37 MJ/d for EE(Record) (difference from EE(DLW): 7.9 plus minus 3.2%) and 17.40 plus minus 1.45 MJ/d for EE(Recall) (difference from EE(DLW): 30.6 plus minus 9.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Seven-day physical activity records provide an acceptable estimate of EE in free-living adults compared with EE(DLW), but 7-d physical activity recalls have limited application to estimate daily EE. For optimal validity, the 7-d physical activity records require good subject compliance and the provision of careful instructions for their use.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The specific underlying causes of adult weight gain remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the association of 3 measures of eating behavior with weight gain and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) in adults. DESIGN: Current dietary restraint, disinhibition, and hunger were assessed with the use of the Eating Inventory in 638 healthy, nonsmoking women aged 55-65 y. In addition, subjects reported their current weight and height, their weight for 6 age intervals, and changes in voluntary dietary energy restriction over the past 10 y. Current weight and height were validated in 10% of subjects. RESULTS: Current disinhibition strongly predicted weight gain and current BMI (partial r = 0.27 and 0.34, respectively, both P < 0.001). Neither restraint nor hunger was a significant independent predictor of either variable, but the positive associations between disinhibition and both weight gain and BMI were attenuated by restraint (P = 0.016 and 0.010, respectively, after adjustment for confounding variables). In the subpopulation of women who reported a stable level of voluntary dietary energy restriction, disinhibition also strongly predicted weight gain and higher BMI, and restraint was negatively associated with weight gain (partial r = -0.17, P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Higher disinhibition is strongly associated with greater adult weight gain and higher current BMI, and dietary restraint may attenuate this association when disinhibition is high. These findings suggest that eating behavior has an important role in the prevention of adult-onset obesity and that further studies are warranted.

AB  - BACKGROUND: A common G-to-A substitution in the promoter area (-75 base pairs) of the apolipoprotein A-I gene (APOA1) has been described. The A allele was shown to be associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations in some studies but not in others. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether dietary fat modulates the association between this polymorphism and HDL-cholesterol concentrations. DESIGN: We studied a population-based sample of 755 men and 822 women from the Framingham Offspring Study. RESULTS: The frequency of the A allele was 0.165. No significant differences were observed between G/G subjects and carriers of the A allele for any lipid variables. In multivariate linear regression models, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in women were associated with a significant interaction between polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake as a continuous variable and APOA1 genotype (P = 0.005). By using 3 categories of PUFA intake, we found a significantly different effect of APOA1 genotype across PUFA categories in women. When PUFA intake was <4% of energy, G/G subjects had approximately 14% higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations than did carriers of the A allele (P < 0.05). Conversely, when PUFA intake was >8%, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in carriers of the A allele were 13% higher than those of G/G subjects (P < 0.05). No significant allelic difference was observed for subjects in the range of PUFA intake of 4-8% of energy. These interactions were not significant in men. CONCLUSIONS: We found a significant gene-diet interaction associated with the APOA1 G-A polymorphism. In women carriers of the A allele, higher PUFA intakes were associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations, whereas the opposite effect was observed in G/G women.

N2  - This paper examines the changes in farm sector wealth from 1949 through 2002. The study uses Theil's entropy-based measure of inequality of farm wealth for 10 regions of the United States. The entropy measure is then used to decompose U.S. inequality into within-region and between-region differences. Results show that for the period 1949 to 1993, relative to the number of farms per state, farm wealth in the United States became more equally distributed. However, beginning in 1994, findings suggest inequality in wealth may be increasing.

N2  - This study formulates an information measure for changes in asset values and applies the formulation to farmland values in the United States for 1960 to 1999. The results indicate that changes in asset values contained significant information following the Russian wheat sale in the early 1970s and the financial crisis in agriculture in the mid 1980s. Further, information about preceding year's asset values largely explains the regional distribution of current year's farmland values.

N2  - This paper utilizes calculated historical volatility and GARCH models to compare the historical price volatility behavior of crude oil, motor gasoline and heating oil in U.S. markets since 1990. We incorporate a shift variable in the GARCH/TARCH models to capture the response of price volatility to a change in OPEC's pricing behavior. This study has three major conclusions. First, there was an increase in volatility as a result of a structural shift to higher crude oil prices after April 1999. Second, volatility shocks from current news are not important since GARCH effects dominate ARCH effects in the variance equation. Third, persistence of volatility in all commodity markets is quite transitory, with half-lives normally being a few weeks.

N2  - High rates of obesity among low-income populations have led some to question whether USDA's food assistance programs have contributed to this health problem. Using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), this study shows that the association between food assistance program participation and body weight measures has weakened over the past three decades. Earlier NHANES data show that program participants were more likely to be overweight than individuals who were eligible but not participating in the program. This was particularly true among white women. However, the more recent data show that these differences have vanished, as the BMI of the rest of the population has caught up to BMI levels of food stamps recipients.

N2  - This study investigates the role of risk in farmers' acreage decisions for major field crops in the North Central region by revisiting an earlier study by Chavas and Holt. The empirical model is forward-looking and reflects better variable measurement. We test the effects of wealth and revenue risk on supply response. Estimated results are also used to examine the production impact of counter-cyclical payments (CCPs). We find that the effects of risk on supply response are not strong. An increase in initial wealth would lead to greater crop acreage, consistent with decreasing absolute risk aversion. The effect of CCPs on production appears to be negligible.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Vegetarian diets often contain more copper than do nonvegetarian diets, but observations of decreased plasma copper associated with vegetarian diets suggest that these diets have lower copper bioavailability than do nonvegetarian diets. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine apparent copper absorption from controlled lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets. DESIGN: Eighteen women aged 20-43 y consumed lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian weighed diets for 8 wk each in a randomized, crossover design. The lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets provided 1.45 and 0.94 mg Cu, 38 and 16 g dietary fiber, and 1584 and 518 mg phytic acid, respectively, per 9.2 MJ (2200 kcal). After the women had been consuming each diet for 4 wk, their apparent copper absorption was determined by measuring the fecal excretion of the 65Cu stable isotope, extrinsically added to the entire menu as 65CuCl2. RESULTS: Plasma copper and ceruloplasmin were not affected by diet. The efficiency of apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet was less (33%) than that from the nonvegetarian diet (42%) (pooled SD: 9%; P < 0.05). However, because the lactoovovegetarian diet contained approximately 50% more copper, the total apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet (0.48 mg/d) was greater than that from the nonvegetarian diet (0.40 mg/d) (pooled SD: 0.09 mg; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Although copper was less efficiently absorbed from a vegetarian diet than from a nonvegetarian diet, total apparent copper absorption was greater from the vegetarian diet because of its greater copper content.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis, a primary cause of myocardial infarction (MI), is an inflammatory disease. Aspirin use lowers risk of MI, probably through antithrombotic and antiinflammatory effects. Because serum ferritin (SF) can be elevated spuriously by inflammation, reported associations between elevated SF, used as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease could be confounded by occult inflammation and aspirin use if they affect SF independently of iron status. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that aspirin use is associated with reduced SF. DESIGN: We used analysis of covariance to investigate the relation between SF and categories of aspirin use in 913 elderly participants aged 67-96 y in the Framingham Heart Study. RESULTS: After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol use, concentrations of C-reactive protein and liver enzymes, white blood cell count, and use of nonaspirin nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and other medications, subjects who took >7 aspirins/wk had a significantly lower (by 25%) geometric mean SF than did nonusers, who took <1 aspirin/wk (71 compared with 95 microg/L, respectively; P for trend = 0.004). This effect of aspirin on SF was more marked in diseased subjects than in healthy subjects (mean SF was 50% lower compared with 21% lower, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Aspirin use is associated with lower SF. We suggest this effect results from possible increased occult blood loss and a cytokine-mediated effect on SF in subjects with inflammation, infection, or liver disease. The relations between aspirin, inflammation, and SF may confound epidemiologic associations between elevated SF, as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease risk.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Zinc homeostasis and normal plasma zinc concentrations are maintained over a wide range of intakes. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to identify the homeostatic response to severe zinc depletion by using compartmental analysis. DESIGN: Stable zinc isotope tracers were administered intravenously to 5 men at baseline (12.2 mg dietary Zn/d) and after 5 wk of acute zinc depletion (0.23 mg/d). Compartmental modeling of zinc metabolism was performed by using tracer and mass data in plasma, urine, and feces collected over 6-14 d. RESULTS: The plasma zinc concentration fell 65% on average after 5 wk of zinc depletion. The model predicted that fractional zinc absorption increased from 26% to essentially 100%. The rate constants for zinc excretion in the urine and gastrointestinal tract decreased 96% and 74%, respectively. The rate constants describing the distribution kinetics of plasma zinc did not change significantly. When zinc depletion was simulated by using an average mass model of zinc metabolism at baseline, the only change that accounted for the observed fall in plasma zinc concentration was a 60% reduction in the rate constant for zinc release from the most slowly turning over zinc pool. The large changes in zinc intake, excretion, and absorption-even when considered together-only explained modest reductions in plasma zinc mass. CONCLUSION: The kinetic analysis with a compartmental model suggests that the profound decrease in plasma zinc concentrations after 5 wk of severe zinc depletion was mainly due to a decrease in the rate of zinc release from the most slowly turning over body zinc pool.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Flavonoids may exert their health benefit in cardiovascular disease by modulating monocyte adhesion in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. Most in vitro studies used forms of flavonoids present in food rather than forms that appear in plasma after ingestion. OBJECTIVES: We tested the effects of plasma metabolites of (+)-catechin and quercetin on the modulation of monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). DESIGN: Plasma extracts of flavonoid metabolites were prepared after intragastric administration of pure compounds to rats. The plasma preparations contained sulfate or glucuronide conjugates or both and methylated forms. We measured adhesion of U937 monocytic cells to HAEC and the production of ROS in HAEC when cells were pretreated with either pure compounds or plasma extracts from control or treated rats. Adhesion assays were performed with HAEC stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1 beta or U937 cells activated with phorbol myristyl acetate; ROS were measured after challenging HAEC with IL-1 beta or hydrogen peroxide. RESULTS: Pretreatment of HAEC with (+)-catechin metabolites inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-1 beta-stimulated cells, whereas pretreatment with intact (+)-catechin had no effect. Generation of ROS in hydrogen peroxide-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin, its metabolites, and control plasma extract, whereas ROS generation in IL-1 beta-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin metabolites only. In contrast, quercetin inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-1 beta-stimulated HAEC, whereas its metabolites were not effective. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic conversion of flavonoids such as (+)-catechin and quercetin modifies the flavonoids' biological activity. Metabolites of flavonoids, rather than their intact forms, may contribute to the reported effects of flavonoids on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that are widely distributed in fruit, vegetables, and red wines. Anthocyanin products are also prescribed as medicines in many countries for treating various diseases. However, the pharmacokinetics of dietary anthocyanins are not known in humans because these glycosides were long considered nonabsorbable. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins can be absorbed as glycosides and to evaluate their pharmacokinetics in humans. DESIGN: Four healthy elderly women consumed 720 mg anthocyanins. A series of blood and urine samples were collected before and after consumption of the anthocyanins. Anthocyanins were measured in plasma and urine by combining an octadecylsilane solid-phase extraction for sample preparation and an HPLC system with diode array for anthocyanin separation and detection. The structures of anthocyanins as glycosides in plasma and urine were further confirmed by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Anthocyanins were detected as glycosides in plasma and urine. The maximum plasma concentration of total anthocyanins varied from 55.3 to 168.3 nmol/L, with an average of 97.4 nmol/L, and was reached within 71.3 min. The elimination of plasma anthocyanins appeared to follow first-order kinetics. The elimination half-life of plasma total anthocyanins was calculated to be 132.6 min. Most anthocyanin compounds were excreted in urine during the first 4 h. The excretion rate of total anthocyanins was 77 microg/h during the first 4 h and 13 microg/h during the second 4 h. CONCLUSION: Anthocyanins are absorbed in their unchanged glycated forms in elderly women.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The effect of alcohol drinking on LDL-cholesterol concentrations is unclear. The reported variability may be due to interactions between genetic factors and alcohol intake. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to examine whether variation at the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) locus modulates the association between alcohol drinking and LDL cholesterol. DESIGN: We used a cross-sectional design in a healthy population-based sample of 1014 men and 1133 women from the Framingham Offspring Study. RESULTS: In male nondrinkers (n = 197), LDL cholesterol was not significantly different across APOE allele groups [APOE*E2 (E2), APOE*E3 (E3), and APOE*E4 (E4)]. However, in male drinkers (n = 817), differences were observed (P: < 0.001); those with the E2 allele had the lowest concentrations. LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele was significantly lower in drinkers than in nondrinkers but was significantly higher in drinkers than in nondrinkers in men with the E4 allele. This APOE-alcohol interaction remained significant (P < 0.001) after age, body mass index, smoking status, and fat and energy intakes were controlled for. In women, the expected effect of APOE alleles on LDL cholesterol occurred in both drinkers (n = 791; P < 0.001) and nondrinkers (n = 342; P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression models showed a negative association (P < 0.05) between alcohol and LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele but a positive association in men with the E4 allele. No significant associations were observed in men or women with the E3 allele. CONCLUSION: In men, the effects of alcohol intake on LDL cholesterol are modulated in part by variability at the APOE locus. Copyright © 2001 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

N2  - Economists at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are regularly called upon to assess the anticipated benefits and costs of rules proposed to implement environmental legislation. These laws reflect a concern for both human and ecological health, and the increased flow of ecosystem services is a significant source of benefit. This is particularly true for the Clean Water Act (CWA), one goal of which is to safeguard aquatic habitat. Because the benefit-cost analyses must be completed within mandated deadlines, the approaches taken to assess benefits are often expedient ones that have already survived the gauntlet of review both within and outside the agency. This engenders a strong bias toward the benefits transfer approach and particular variants of it. In this paper, we review how ecological benefits have been assessed for and benefits transfer applied to seven EPA rules issued under the CWA. We highlight common themes and point out recurring concerns. Some concerns relate to agency decisions regarding the treatment of a particular benefit category and could be dealt with relatively easily. Other concerns will require the support of an engaged research community to improve the fit of valuation studies to policy contexts and to ensure that the changes in ecological response to which benefit estimates are being transferred are accurately measured.

N2  - This paper draws on the theory of product differentiation in a trade context and uses three case studies to highlight the conditions necessary for a successful geographical-origin branding strategy for farm produce in the United States. In so doing, the U.S. country-of-origin labeling (COOL) scheme as a branding strategy for produce is assessed. The paper argues that the use of geographic identifiers to achieve product differentiation is viable, but any claim that such differentiation will prove useful at the country level for farm produce seems likely to be misplaced. In order to raise prices, a key complement to branding is some restriction on the volume of product going out under the brand name. These restrictions may be accomplished by supply controls, quality controls, or entry barriers, but will not be available to all U.S. products currently hoping to gain from mandatory COOL.

N2  - Multiple forces operate throughout the global economy and influence the direction, composition, and volume of agri-food trade. The fundamental determinants that impede and foster bilateral trade in two food types, namely staple commodities and manufactured products, are identified using generalized gravity equations. Empirical evidence verified the importance of relative resource endowments and similarities in the structure of partner demand. Other socio-geo-political factors were also found to influence food trade, including the ability of governments to control corruption and curtail disequilibrium in financial markets.

N2  - This article addresses a number of key problems commonly confronted in the literature on international demand analysis. These include data issues and requirements, multistage budgeting, outliers, group heteroskedasticity, and model selection. A two-stage demand system is fit to International Comparison Programme data for 114 countries for nine aggregate categories and eight food sub-categories of goods. Outliers are identified and omitted from the sample. Parameter estimates for the two stages are obtained with a maximum-likelihood procedure that corrects for group heteroskedasticity. Country-specific income and own-price elasticities are calculated and indicate that poor countries are more responsive to changes in income and prices than rich countries. We also find evidence for the strong version of Engel's law; when income doubles, the budget share of food declines by approximately 0.10.

N2  - Agricultural nitrogen is a major contributor to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, and research has shown that agricultural subsurface tile drainage is a major carrier of nitrogen from croplands to streams and rivers. This study compares the results of abating nitrogen under a retired-land minimization policy with those of a net revenue-maximizing policy, paying particular attention to the role of tile-drained land. Findings reveal the retirement-minimizing policy resulted in more tile-drained land being retired and less being fertilizer-managed than was optimal under the net-return maximizing policy. Also, it led to a greater economic burden being shouldered by tile-drained land. Under both cases, tile drainage dominated the abatement process.

N2  - This study estimates the influence of proximity to water bodies and park amenities on residential housing values in Knox County, Tennessee, using the hedonic price approach. Values for proximity to water bodies and parks are first estimated globally with a standard ordinary least squares (OLS) model. A locally weighted regression model is then employed to investigate spatial nonstationarity and generate local estimates for individual sources of each amenity. The local model reveals some important local differences in the effects of proximity to water bodies and parks on housing price.

N2  - An indicator of competitive position, the cost difference between ethanol import from Brazil with sugar processing and domestic production with corn in the United States under ideal conditions without tariffs in the ethanol market, is developed conceptually. An ex ante version of the indicator that is based on historical prices and today's technology is calculated for the last 30 years and subjected to time series analysis. Results suggest that there are no trends, but there are cyclical periods of advantage for both industries. Further, long-term averages suggest that profits would be similar in both countries under ideal trade conditions. However, the corn wet-milling industry may have slightly higher profits than other processes and locations. Finally, the U.S. dry-milling industry could improve its competitive position using modified corn varieties with high starch content, and using corn residues for biomass generation of electrical and heat energy.

N2  - This article is part of a growing body of literature evaluating public participation approaches and implementation efforts. It compares the characteristics and performance of citizen advisory boards established by the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Program (DOE/EM) and by the U.S. Department of Defense's Army (DoD/Army) as a major part of the public participation programs that were undertaken to help the agencies plan and implement the cleanup of their contaminated installations. We first present the elements of the Acceptability Diamond, an evaluative framework developed by the authors through extensive fieldwork on public-federal agency interactions that identify five objectives of agency-public interactions and public participation programs, and link them to existing literature. We then use the Acceptability Diamond as a basis for comparing the performance of the DOE/EM and DoD/Army advisory boards. In the early 1990s, both DOE and DoD participated in the Federal Facilities Environmental Restoration Dialogue Committee (known as the FFER Dialogue Committee) and were influenced by the Committee's recommendations on public participation. However, the Site Specific Advisory Boards (SSABs) subsequently established by DOE/EM and the Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) subsequently established by DoD and the Army were governed by significantly different policies and management. We describe some of these key differences and compare the performance of the SSABs and RABs. The article draws on a series of research studies conducted by the authors on the DOE/EM public participation program from its inception in the early 1990s through its transition to accelerated cleanup in 2002 and also on a recently completed study of seven Army RABs.

N2  - This paper uses Theil's (1979) entropy-based measure of inequality and farm-level data to examine changes in farm business wealth (farm equity) of farm households. The farms associated with farm households are grouped by state into ten regions of the United States. The Theil entropy measure is then calculated and used to decompose total inequality of farm wealth into within-state and across-states (between states) inequalities for each region. Results show that since the enactment of the 1996 Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act, inequality in farm wealth among farms within a state has decreased relative to the number of farms per state, across all regions. Further, most of the reduction in farm wealth inequality is attributed to increased equality in the distribution of real estate assets of the farm households, a major component of farm wealth.

N2  - Smaller dairy farms in the US are observed to have higher costs than larger farms, and whether those higher costs are due to technology or inefficiency has implications for policy to address the small farm. If high cost of production on smaller farms is due to a higher cost frontier, then to make small farms competitive would require research to devise and design technology that is suitable for small farms. If instead high cost is due to inefficiency, then educational approaches are needed to ensure small dairy farms use technology efficiently. To determine the cause of higher costs on small farms, the cost of milk production by farm size was decomposed into frontier and efficiency components with a stochastic cost curve using data on USA dairy farms. Although the frontier cost of production decreases with farm size, that cost reduction is not as pronounced as a cost curve that includes inefficiency. The higher cost of production on many smaller farms is caused by inefficiency rather than technology.

N2  - The objective of this article is to determine why short-run crude-oil prices could be forecasted well using OECD inventories and excess production capacity in the past, but not in more recent years. The article uses the timing of structural shifts to identify three crude-oil market regimes in the period from January 1992 to April 2007. It demonstrates how the forecasting performance of the old model deteriorated as the regimes changed. The relationship between LLS price and key variables reflecting OPEC policy changes, the significant reductions in excess crude-oil production capacity, and the potential role of interest rates also are explored. The economic developments in the 1990s and 2000s, particularly the Asian economic expansion, have increased worldwide demand for crude oil. Meanwhile, crude-oil output capacity did not increase as much, resulting in dramatically lower excess production capacity since the middle of 2004 and creating upward pressure on crude-oil prices. As a consequence of this situation, crude-oil price and inventory have shown an unusual positive relationship, indicating an unstable, transition period. This study concludes that either a crucial market variable is missing from the current short-run crude-oil price forecast model of the Energy Information Administration's (EIA's) Petroleum Division or the petroleum market is in a transitional period between states of equilibrium. In the next section, data sources are described. The subsequent section identifies three regimes reflecting structural changes in the crude-oil market and demonstrates how a forecast model performs in the respective regimes. Next, the changing relationships between LLS prices and the key variables involved in these three regimes are studied. The last section concludes the paper and offers suggestions for future work.

N2  - This paper shows the effect that surplus crude oil production capacity has on short-term crude oil prices. A simple model using Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) industrial inventories and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) surplus production capacity is introduced. This model provides improved forecasts for the post Gulf War I time period over models without the capacity variable.

N2  - We evaluate two financial incentives to encourage nonindustrial forest landowners to undertake activities that mitigate fire losses: sharing of fire suppression costs by the landowner and sharing of fuel reduction costs by the government. First and second best outcomes are identified and compared to assess the effectiveness of these incentives in reducing social losses and fire suppression costs, under various assumptions about landowner behavior and information. We find that while cost sharing of fire suppression by the landowner invariably reduces social losses, this is not always true for government cost sharing of landowner fuel reduction. However, cost sharing of fuel reduction can yield larger reductions in social losses when fire risk is high. Both policies tend to induce larger reductions in both social losses and fire suppression costs when landowners engage in fuel reduction. We find that improving a landowner's information about fire risk and fuel reduction can yield substantial reductions in social losses.

N2  - In order to satisfy legal requirements, many federal agencies must assess the potential effects of their policies on the public. This is often done through surveys, but frequently those surveys are only administered in English. This paper tests whether there are differences in survey response rates, refusals to pay, and willingness to pay (WTP) across different ethnicities and language for forest fire reduction in the State of California. The ethnicities studied were Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic (half in Spanish, half in English). There was a statistical difference in survey response rates across all ethnicities, and no statistical difference among ethnicities for reasons of refusing to pay. The influence of ethnicity and language was tested using a logit model with ethnicity intercepts and bid slope interaction terms. The Hispanic-Spanish intercept shifter and the Hispanic-English dollar bid amount interaction terms were statistically significant and positive. There was a significant difference in the logit willingness to pay coefficients between Hispanics surveyed in Spanish with each of the other ethnicities. The annual willingness to pay of Hispanics taking the survey in Spanish was twice that of Caucasians, but no statistical difference in mean and median WTP between these two groups was found, due to large confidence intervals around each estimate. Nonetheless, the WTP of both Hispanics and Caucasians for the forest thinning program is substantial, and statistically different from zero, suggesting there may be broad support for this program in California.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Although iron deficiency occurs commonly in vulnerable groups of women of reproductive age, infants, and children, less is known about the iron nutriture of the elderly. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to evaluate the iron status of a noninstitutionalized, elderly US population, with a particular focus on 2 concerns unique to the elderly: 1) potential confounding effects of chronic disease on iron measures and 2) increased occurrence of elevated iron stores. DESIGN: Multiple iron measures, including serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation, mean cell volume, and hemoglobin, were used to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID), iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and other measures of iron nutriture in 1016 elderly white Americans aged 67-96 y from the Framingham Heart Study. 'Diseased' subjects were defined as those with possible pathologically altered iron measures due to inflammation, infection, elevated liver enzymes, hereditary hemochromatosis, or cancer. The effect of altered iron status on various prevalence estimates was assessed. RESULTS: The elderly subjects had a low prevalence of ID (2.7%), IDA (1.2%), and depleted iron stores (3%; SF < 12 microg/L). In contrast, 12.9% had elevated iron stores (SF > 300 microg/L in men and SF > 200 microg/L in women), of which only 1% was attributable to chronic disease. The prevalence of ID, IDA, and depleted iron stores was unaffected by the presence of chronic disease. CONCLUSIONS: The Framingham Heart Study cohort is an iron-replete elderly population with a high prevalence of elevated iron stores in contrast with a low prevalence of iron deficiency, with insignificant effects of chronic disease on these iron status estimates. The likely liability in iron nutriture in free-living, elderly white Americans eating a Western diet is high iron stores, not iron deficiency.

AB  - The 10-y Plan for the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program calls for research related to dietary data collection and interpretation and for improved data dissemination. The United States Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Information Service has released data from the 1989 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and is planning for the next one. Respondent burden will be reduced. The sample is designed for improved estimates of dietary intakes for children and elderly individuals. An automated coding system will contribute to improved data management. Current research projects include developing data collection strategies in a cognitive research laboratory, exploring alternative interview structures for children, and developing methods to estimate the distributors of usual intakes of nutrients and foods. Priorities for further research and development are applying cognitive psychology research techniques to improve accuracy of responses, ensuring the temporal validity of food-composition databases, and developing the probability approach for assessing dietary adequacy.

N2  - This paper assesses the potential agri-environmental impacts on the United States of liberalizing world agricultural trade. We examine how the elimination of all agricultural policy distortions in all trading countries might influence agricultural production decisions and subsequently affect environmental quality in the United States. The estimated changes in U.S. agricultural production under the ambitious assumption of full agricultural trade liberalization are well within the bounds of average annual variation for agricultural commodity production (Fig. 2). In this context, our results suggest that, for the United States as a whole, environmental impacts stemming from such hypothesized trade shocks would also fall within the average annual variation. This generalization aside, we note that the estimated changes in commodity production and subsequent environmental impacts are not uniform across the landscape, with increases in agricultural production and the environmental indicators in some regions or sectors and decreases in others.

N2  - Research addressing Gulf hypoxia has failed to account for agricultural drainage, the major pathway of nitrate loads in Upper Midwest states. Focusing on two Minnesota watersheds, simulation results were combined with a constrained-optimization model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of nitrogen-abatement policies, with explicit focus on drainage. Results indicate that drained land dominates in nitrogen abatement, and has substantially lower abatement costs relative to nondrained land. However, policies that remove drainage were not cost-effective. Further, it was found that nutrient management, a policy strongly recommended by prior research, is relatively cost-ineffective as a means of abatement on non-drained land.

N2  - Programming models approximate market prices and quantities when regulations constrain firm choices, because market outcomes result when welfare is appropriately defined and includes performance and environmental constraints. This study discusses market operation in quality-constrained sectors, like gasoline and additives; processors expand output until marginal processing cost equals the processing margin between product revenues and raw material costs; retailers who buy gasoline and additives from processors and sell blended retail gasoline price sales at a marginal cost that includes the blended input value plus adjustments for values of constrained attributes; and market supplies and demands of measurable attributes like octane are balanced. This method can enhance predictions about the effects of new policies that regulate product quality. Analysis can now include price and output adjustment in factor and product markets, and the competitiveness of new processes and products.

N2  - With the 1996 Farm Act, the United States introduced payments that were designed to be "decoupled." Labor allocation choices are likely to be affected by receipt of payments, and income from off-farm jobs has been the major source of income for most farm households for sometime. This article examines whether the 1996 change has affected the off-farm labor participation of farm households. We conclude that the observed increase in off-farm participation of farm operators who received payments was not the result of the 1996 policy change. Government payments, whether coupled or decoupled, have a negative effect on off-farm labor participation.

N2  - Using farm-level panel data from recent U.S. Agricultural Censuses, this study examines how direct government payments influence the survival of farm businesses, paying particular attention to the differential effect of payments across farm-size categories. A Cox proportional hazards model is used to estimate the effect of government payments on the instantaneous probability of a farm business failure, controlling for farm and operator characteristics. Results indicate that an increase in government payments has a small but statistically significant negative effect on the rate of business failure, and the magnitude of this effect increases with farm size.

N2  - We use price data underlying the Consumer Price Index to assess how restaurants, whose prices are generally quite sticky, respond to minimum wage increases. Aggregate prices rise, quickly, by amounts reflecting the increase in costs, and they rise more among fast food outlets and in low-wage locations. But restaurants do not construct price increases by raising all their prices by amounts reflecting the increase in wages. Instead, they raise only some prices, but by larger amounts. Prices at cluster points are less likely to be changed, and prices that were recently increased (decreased) are less (more) likely to be raised.

N2  - This paper presents a case study of the economic damages to homeowners in a northern New Jersey community due to an exotic forest insect--the hemlock woolly adelgid. Hedonic property value methods are used to estimate the effect of hemlock health on property values. A statistically significant relationship between hemlock health and residential property values is established. Moreover, there are some signs of spillover impacts from hemlock decline, as negative effects are realized on the parcels where the declining hemlock stands are located as well as on neighboring properties. These results give some indication of the benefits of potential control programs and strategies and also show support for community- or neighborhood-based programs in residential settings.

N2  - Asian gypsy and nun moth introductions into the United States, possibly arriving on imported Siberian coniferous logs, threaten domestic forests and product markets and could have global market consequences. We simulate, using the Global Forest Products Model (a spatial equilibrium model of the world forest sector), the consequences under current policies of a wide-spread, successful pest invasion, and of plausible trading partner responses to the successful invasion. We find that trade liberalization would have a negligible effect on U.S. imports of Siberian logs and, consequently, on the risk of a pest invasion. But, if it happened, possibly through trade in other commodities, a successful and widespread pest invasion would have large effects on producers and consumers over the period 2002 to 2030.

N2  - Asian soybean rust (rust) is an emerging issue in U.S. crop production and was identified in nine states during 2004. Recent farm surveys indicate that many producers are adjusting their management practices to the possibility of a rust infestation. The economic and environmental impacts of such adjustments are not known in the medium run given these new developments. We combine 2005 data on the geographical distribution of the fungal pathogen that causes rust with 2005 information on the availability and material costs of fungicides to analyze three treatment strategies. Our results indicate a higher range of economic impacts than previous research has indicated, but are consistent with earlier findings indicating that rust infestations will likely result in reduced soybean production, reduced exports, and higher prices.

N2  - Prioritizing exotic or invasive pest threats in terms of agricultural, environmental, or human health damages is an important resource allocation issue for programs charged with preventing or responding to the entry of such organisms. Under extreme uncertainty, program managers may decide to research the severity of threats, develop prevention or control actions, and estimate cost-effectiveness in order to provide better information and more options when making decisions to choose strategies for specific pests. We examine decision rules based on the minimax and relative cost criteria in order to express a cautious approach for decisions regarding severe, irreversible consequences, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these rules, examine the roles of simple rules and sophisticated analyses in decision making, and apply a simple rule to develop a list of priority plant pests.

N2  - We present a conceptual, but empirically applicable, model for determining the optimal allocation of resources between exclusion and control activities for managing an invasive species with an uncertain discovery time. This model is used to investigate how to allocate limited resources between activities before and after the first discovery of an invasive species and the effects of the characteristics of an invasive species on limited resource allocation. The optimality conditions show that it is economically efficient to spend a larger share of outlays for exclusion activities before, rather than after, a species is first discovered, up to a threshold point. We also find that, after discovery, more exclusionary measures and fewer control measures are optimal, when the pest population is less than a threshold. As the pest population increases beyond this threshold, the exclusionary measures are no longer optimal. Finally, a comparative dynamic analysis indicates that the efficient level of total expenditures on preventive and control measures decreases with the level of the invasive species stock and increases with the intrinsic population growth rate, the rate of additional discoveries avoided, and the maximum possible pest population.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Obese pregnancy is associated with significantly higher rates of infection, which can harm both mother and fetus. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of obesity on maternal blood immune function. STUDY DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional, case control study of 15 obese (Ob) and 15 lean (Lc) subjects. Immune cell subsets, intracellular and serum cytokine production, and lymphocyte proliferation were measured in maternal blood during the second trimester of pregnancy. RESULTS: Obese women had a significantly lower proportion of CD8+ and NKT cells and a higher proportion of B cells, impaired cytokine production when stimulated ex vivo, and impaired ability of lymphocytes to proliferate compared with their lean counterparts. CONCLUSION: Obese pregnancy is associated with impaired cell-mediated immunity. Because perinatal infections can have serious maternal and fetal consequences, it is imperative to better understand these mechanistic underpinnings to optimize prevention and devise targeted therapy.

AB  - Introduction: Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension have reached epidemic levels in the largely rural Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) region. We assessed the effectiveness of a 6-month, church-based diet and physical activity intervention, conducted during 2010 through 2011, for improving diet quality (measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2005) and increasing physical activity of African American adults in the LMD region.Methods: We used a quasi-experimental design in which 8 self-selected eligible churches were assigned to intervention or control. Assessments included dietary, physical activity, anthropometric, and clinical measures. Statistical tests for group comparisons included χ(2), Fisher's exact, and McNemar's tests for categorical variables, and mixed-model regression analysis for continuous variables and modeling intervention effects.Results: Retention rates were 85% (176 of 208) for control and 84% (163 of 195) for intervention churches. Diet quality components, including total fruit, total vegetables, and total quality improved significantly in both control (mean [standard deviation], 0.3 [1.8], 0.2 [1.1], and 3.4 [9.6], respectively) and intervention (0.6 [1.7], 0.3 [1.2], and 3.2 [9.7], respectively) groups, while significant increases in aerobic (22%) and strength/flexibility (24%) physical activity indicators were apparent in the intervention group only. Regression analysis indicated that intervention participation level and vehicle ownership were significant positive predictors of change for several diet quality components.Conclusion: This church-based diet and physical activity intervention may be effective in improving diet quality and increasing physical activity of LMD African American adults. Components key to the success of such programs are participant engagement in educational sessions and vehicle access.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Results of cross-sectional studies suggest that in healthy people, iron absorption adapts to meet physiologic needs and stabilize iron stores, but this has not been adequately tested in longitudinal studies. OBJECTIVE: We tested whether heme- and nonheme-iron absorption decrease in response to increased iron intake and whether iron stores reach a steady state. DESIGN: In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, heme- and nonheme-iron absorption by healthy men and women (n = 57) were measured before and after 12 wk of supplementation with 50 mg Fe/d as ferrous sulfate. Serum and fecal ferritin were measured during supplementation and for 6 mo thereafter. RESULTS: Initially, both heme- and nonheme-iron absorption were inversely associated with serum ferritin concentration. Volunteers who took iron supplements, even those with serum ferritin <21 microg/L (n = 5), adapted to absorb less nonheme iron (3.2% at week 12 compared with 5.0% at week 0, P: < 0.001) but not less heme iron from a beef-based meal. Serum ferritin concentration was slightly but significantly higher after iron supplementation than after placebo (difference = 13 ?g/L). This higher ferritin concentration persisted for >/=6 mo after supplementation, except in subjects with low iron stores, whose serum ferritin returned to baseline within 3 mo. Fecal ferritin excretion increased 2.5-fold (P: < 0.05) during supplementation. CONCLUSIONS: Healthy individuals, even those with low iron stores, had reduced nonheme-iron absorption from food in response to iron supplementation. Despite this partial adaptation, iron stores were greater after iron supplementation than after placebo and this difference was sustained, except in individuals with the lowest iron stores.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Zinc is an essential trace element for human health and well-being; however, methods currently available for the assessment of zinc status in humans are unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to critically evaluate the use of various indicators of zinc status in humans in a controlled metabolic ward study. DESIGN: Indicators of zinc status were measured in 25 healthy postmenopausal women aged 64.9 +/- 6.7 y. After a 10-d equilibration period, volunteers consumed a diet with either a low (1 mg/d; n = 12) or a high (3 mg/d; n = 13) copper content based on a total energy content of 8.4 MJ. They received the same amount of copper throughout the study. Both groups were fed the basal diet (3 mg Zn/d) with no zinc supplement for one 90-d period, and the diet supplemented with 50 mg Zn/d for another 90-d period. RESULTS: Zinc supplementation significantly increased (P < 0.0001) extracellular but not erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity. This increase was more apparent when subjects were fed the low-copper diet. Zinc supplementation in combination with the low-copper diet significantly decreased (P < 0.01) amyloid precursor protein expression in platelets. Other indicators of zinc status that were significantly elevated after zinc supplementation were as follows: plasma zinc and free thyroxine concentrations and mononuclear 5'-nucleotidase activity. CONCLUSION: The measurement of serum extracellular superoxide dismutase activity may be useful as a marker for the functional assessment of zinc status in humans.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Factors affecting the accuracy of reported energy intake (rEI) need to be identified. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the association of psychological measures of eating behavior with the accuracy of rEI assessed by 7-d weighed intakes, a 24-h recall, and a food-frequency questionnaire. DESIGN: Subjects were 26 restrained eaters aged 60.3 +/- 0.6 y (mean +/- SEM) and weighing 63.8 +/- 1.7 kg and 34 unrestrained eaters aged 59.4 +/- 0.6 y and weighing 64.0 kg. rEI was assessed by using 3 dietary assessment methods and total energy expenditure (TEE) was determined by using doubly labeled water. Calculated EI (cEI) was determined as TEE corrected for the estimated change in body energy. Subjects completed the Eating Inventory. RESULTS: rEI values were significantly lower than TEE values for all 3 dietary assessment methods (P < 0.05); there was no significant relation between rEI and TEE by any method. There was no significant difference in 100 x rEI:TEE between restrained and unrestrained eaters by any of the dietary assessment methods. When combined data from the 3 methods were used, 100 x rEI:cEI was not significantly different from 100% in unrestrained eaters (99 +/- 6.8%) but was lower in restrained eaters (89.1 +/- 5.3%; P < 0.05). There was a positive relation between hunger and 100 x rEI:TEE (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Low hunger is associated with undereating relative to normal eating during measurement of dietary intake; high dietary restraint may be associated with a reduction in reporting of consumed foods. Dietary hunger and restraint assessed with use of the Eating Inventory may help to identify subjects likely to underreport dietary intake. Copyright © 2000 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Short-term measurements of iron absorption are substantially influenced by dietary bioavailability of iron, yet bioavailability negligibly affects serum ferritin in longer, controlled trials. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to test the hypothesis that in men fed diets with high or low iron bioavailability, iron absorption adapts to homeostatically maintain body iron stores. DESIGN: Heme- and nonheme-iron absorption from whole diets were measured in 31 healthy men at 0 and 10 wk while the men consumed weighed, 2-d repeating diets with either high or low iron bioavailability for 12 wk. The diets with high and low iron bioavailability contained, respectively, 14.4 and 15.3 mg nonheme Fe/d and 1.8 and 0.1 mg heme Fe/d and had different contents of meat, ascorbic acid, whole grains, legumes, and tea. RESULTS: Adaptation occurred with nonheme- but not with heme-iron absorption. Total iron absorption decreased from 0.96 to 0.69 mg/d (P < 0.05) and increased from 0.12 to 0.17 mg/d (P < 0.05) after 10 wk of the high- and low-bioavailability diets, respectively. This partial adaptation reduced the difference in iron bioavailability between the diets from 8- to 4-fold. Serum ferritin was insensitive to diet but fecal ferritin was substantially lower with the low- than the high-bioavailability diet. Erythrocyte incorporation of absorbed iron was inversely associated with serum ferritin. CONCLUSIONS: Iron-replete men partially adapted to dietary iron bioavailability and iron absorption from a high-bioavailability diet was reduced to approximately 0.7 mg Fe/d. Short-term measurements of absorption overestimate differences in iron bioavailability between diets. Copyright © 2000 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - A survey of basic education in 13 Eastern African countries (Madagascar, Burundi, Comores, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, and Somalia) covers basic education programs and UNICEF's supporting role. Basic education is seen as a concept evolved in the region, involving formal school systems and educational programs for out-of-school children, adolescents, and adults; and having goals determined by political philosophies of different countries, with the overall aim of providing all citizens with education to prepare them for satisfying lives in their socio-cultural economic environment. Tables give statistics on basic education programs by country; indicate the importance attached to 20 basic education components; and chart unanimity on literacy, numeracy, and basic skills. Brief descriptions of Tanzania's community schools program and Somalia's nomadic education centers are presented. Important factors in the development of basic education are detailed: sharing experiences, generation of new ideas, personnel, infrastructures, and financing. UNICEF's role in supporting basic education is discussed, including regional programs, financing, relevance/effectiveness of UNICEF assistance, and problem areas. Recommendations call for future UNICEF assistance to advocacy, planning, programs and projects, preschool activities, inclusion of indigenous cultural elements in the curricula, and monitoring/evaluation activities. Appendices list objectives and characteristics of basic education, by country, and proposed themes for future regional meetings. (MH) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

AB  - Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in accumulation of copper in the liver as a consequence of mutations in the gene encoding the copper-transporting P-type ATPase (ATP7B). WD is a chronic liver disorder, and individuals with the disease present with a variety of complications, including steatosis, cholestasis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Similar to patients with WD, Atp7b-/- mice have markedly elevated levels of hepatic copper and liver pathology. Previous studies have demonstrated that replacement of zinc in the DNA-binding domain of the estrogen receptor (ER) with copper disrupts specific binding to DNA response elements. Here, we found decreased binding of the nuclear receptors FXR, RXR, HNF4α, and LRH-1 to promoter response elements and decreased mRNA expression of nuclear receptortarget genes in Atp7b-/- mice, as well as in adult and pediatric WD patients. Excessive hepatic copper has been described in progressive familial cholestasis (PFIC), and we found that similar to individuals with WD, patients with PFIC2 or PFIC3 who have clinically elevated hepatic copper levels exhibit impaired nuclear receptor activity. Together, these data demonstrate that copper-mediated nuclear receptor dysfunction disrupts liver function in WD and potentially in other disorders associated with increased hepatic copper levels.

AB  - The objective of this study was to test how the genetic polymorphisms located within the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) locus would modulate the relationship between a diet high in carbohydrate and insulin resistance related traits in metabolic syndrome adults. A one year nutritional intervention study focusing on education to increase dietary intake of whole grain, vegetable and fruit, and to reduce the intake of sodium, simple sugar and dietary fat (especially cooking oil and pork lard) was conducted. Two districts in Shanghai, China were randomly selected to be the intervention and control group, and patients (n=235) with metabolic syndrome within these two districts were selected based on a multistage sampling method. Fasting glucose was reduced in rs328 CC homozygotes (p=0.028) but not G carriers (p=0.686) within the intervention group. Also an ancillary study with greater statistical power by combining the baseline measurements across both the intervention and control groups was conducted to test the cross-sectional statistical interactions between carbohydrate/fat and lipoprotein lipase genotypes for homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance/insulin/fasting glucose. Increased carbohydrate intakes were positively associated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin in rs328 G carriers but not CC homozygotes (p for interaction was 0.025). These results indicate that diet high in carbohydrate may not be suitable for metabolic syndrome rs328 G carriers, calling for the development of personalized dietary intervention for metabolic syndrome subjects.

AB  - Background. Caloric restriction (CR), energy intake reduced below ad libitum (AL) intake, increases life span in many species. The implications for humans can be clarified by randomized controlled trials of CR. Methods. To determine CR's feasibility, safety, and effects on predictors of longevity, disease risk factors, and quality of life in nonobese humans aged 21-51 years, 218 persons were randomized to a 2-year intervention designed to achieve 25% CR or to AL diet. Outcomes were change from baseline resting metabolic rate adjusted for weight change ("RMR residual") and core temperature (primary); plasma triiodothyronine (T3) and tumor necrosis factor-α (secondary); and exploratory physiological and psychological measures. Results. Body mass index averaged 25.1 (range: 21.9-28.0 kg/m²). Eighty-two percent of CR and 95% of AL participants completed the protocol. The CR group achieved 11.7±0.7 %CR (mean ± standard error) and maintained 10.4±0.4% weight loss. Weight change in AL was negligible. RMR residual decreased significantly more in CR than AL at 12 months (p = .04) but not 24 months (M24). Core temperature change differed little between groups. T3 decreased more in CR at M12 and M24 (p < .001), while tumor necrosis factor-a decreased significantly more only at M24 (p= .02). CR had larger decreases in cardiometabolic riskfactors and in daily energy expenditure adjusted for weight change, without adverse effects on quality of life. Conclusions. Sustained CR is feasible in nonobese humans. The effects of the achieved CR on correlates of human survival and disease riskfactors suggest potential benefits for aging-related outcomes that could be elucidated by further human studies.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Lycopene has been identified as a phytochemical with potentially protective health benefits. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to monitor lycopene changes in buccal mucosa cells (BMCs) in response to 3 vehicles for oral delivery of lycopene. DESIGN: Fifteen healthy subjects ingested lycopene-rich tomato juice, tomato oleoresin, lycopene beadlets (each containing 70-75 mg lycopene) and a placebo for 4 wk each in a randomized crossover design while consuming self-selected diets. A 6-wk washout period separated the treatment periods. BMCs were collected at baseline and after 4 wk of supplementation. RESULTS: Lycopene in BMCs increased significantly ( approximately 2-fold) after 4 wk of ingestion of oleoresin and of beadlets to 4.95 (P < 0.001) and 3.75 ?g/g protein (P = 0.053), respectively, but was not significantly affected by tomato juice treatment. The placebo treatment produced a significant decrease in BMC lycopene concentrations (P = 0.018). We observed significant treatment differences between oleoresin and tomato juice, oleoresin and placebo, and beadlets and placebo. BMC concentrations of phytofluene and beta-carotene, which were present in small amounts in the lycopene-containing treatments, increased significantly with ingestion of these products. Strong correlations were found between plasma and BMC concentrations of lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene. In contrast, correlations between lycopene concentrations in plasma and in BMCs were weak and not significant for any treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The cellular content of lycopene and other tomato-related carotenoids with proposed beneficial health effects can be increased through prolonged supplementation.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Phylloquinone, found in dark-green vegetables and certain plant oils, is the primary dietary source of the fat-soluble vitamin K. Limited data suggest that the relative bioavailability of phylloquinone from vegetables is lower than that from a supplement. This finding is relevant to the maintenance of optimal vitamin K status. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare, in younger and older adults, the relative bioavailability of phylloquinone from a vegetable with that of a fortified oil. DESIGN: In a crossover design with three 15-d residency periods in a metabolic unit, younger and older men and women (n = 36) consumed a mixed diet containing 100 microg phylloquinone/d. During 2 residency periods, the mixed diet was supplemented for 5 d with either broccoli (377 microg phylloquinone/d; broccoli diet) or phylloquinone-fortified oil (417 microg/d; oil diet). The relative bioavailability of phylloquinone was defined by the difference in plasma phylloquinone, percentage serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin (%ucOC), and urinary gamma-carboxyglutamic acid in response to 5 d of supplementation. RESULTS: For both younger and older adults, plasma phylloquinone concentrations were higher (P < 0.001) and %ucOC values were lower (P = 0.001) after the broccoli and oil diets than after the mixed diet only. Overall, the response to broccoli supplementation was not significantly different from the response to the fortified oil in either age group. Urinary gamma-carboxyglutamic acid did not change in response to supplementation. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in the relative bioavailability of phylloquinone, as evidenced by the lack of a significant difference in plasma phylloquinone and %ucOC between the 2 groups after either the broccoli or oil diets for younger and older adults.

AB  - Background: The interaction between iron and manganese in the gut is well characterized but iron status has not been shown to affect manganese absorption. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether iron status as determined by serum ferritin concentrations affects manganese absorption, retention, balance, and status. Design: The subjects were healthy young women; 11 had serum ferritin concentrations >50 mu g/L and 15 had serum ferritin concentrations <15 mu g/L. In a crossover design, subjects consumed diets that supplied either 0.7 or 9.5 mg Mn/d for 60 d. Manganese absorption and retention were assessed during the last 30 d of each dietary period by using an oral dose of 54Mn; balance was assessed simultaneously. Results: Dietary manganese did not affect manganese status, but high serum ferritin depressed arginase activity. The interaction of ferritin status and dietary manganese affected 54Mn absorption and biological half-life. Absorption was greatest in subjects with low ferritin concentrations when they were consuming the low-manganese diet, and was least in subjects with high ferritin concentrations. Biological half-life was longest when subjects with high ferritin concentrations consumed the low-manganese diet, and was shortest in all subjects consuming the high-manganese diet. Manganese balance was only affected by the amount of manganese in the diet. Conclusions: These results show that iron status, as measured by serum ferritin concentration, is strongly associated with the amount of manganese absorbed from a meal by young women. When greater amounts of manganese are absorbed, the body may compensate by excreting manganese more quickly. Copyright 1999 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Stable-isotope studies of molybdenum metabolism have been conducted in which molybdenum was added to the diet and was assumed to be absorbed and utilized similarly to the molybdenum in foods. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to establish whether the molybdenum in foods is metabolized similarly to molybdenum added to the diet. DESIGN: We first studied whether sufficient amounts of molybdenum stable isotopes could be incorporated into wheat, kale, and soy for use in a human study. Enough molybdenum could be incorporated into soy and kale to study molybdenum absorption and excretion. Two studies were then conducted, one in women and one in men. In the first study, each meal contained approximately 100 microg Mo from soy, kale, and extrinsic molybdenum. In the second study, soy and extrinsic molybdenum were compared; the meal contained approximately 300 microg Mo. RESULTS: In the first study, molybdenum was absorbed equally well from kale and an extrinsic source. However, the molybdenum in soy was less well absorbed than the molybdenum in kale or that added to the diet. In the second study, absorption of molybdenum from soy was less than from the extrinsic label. Urinary excretion of soy molybdenum was also lower than urinary excretion of the extrinsic label, but excretion as a percentage of the absorbed dose was not significantly different between treatments. CONCLUSIONS: The molybdenum in soy is less available than molybdenum added to the diet, but the molybdenum in kale is as available as molybdenum added to the diet. Once absorbed, excretion is not significantly different for soy, kale, and extrinsic molybdenum. Copyright (c) 1999 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The accurate measurement of stature is not possible in many frail elderly persons because of problems affecting their ability to stand straight. In such cases, knee height may be used to estimate stature. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the applicability of published regression equations to estimate stature of Puerto Rican and other Hispanic elderly persons living in the northeastern United States and to formulate ethnicity-specific equations for these persons. DESIGN: The study subjects (60-92 y of age) included 569 Hispanics and a comparison group of 153 non-Hispanic whites. Equations to estimate stature of Hispanics and Puerto Ricans living in the northeastern United States were developed with regression models in a randomly selected subgroup of the Hispanics. These equations were tested with the remaining Hispanic subgroup. RESULTS: The published equations significantly overestimated stature of our Hispanic subjects. Equations developed for Massachusetts Hispanics and Puerto Ricans provided estimates of stature that did not differ significantly from measured stature. We found further that equations for non-Hispanic whites published in 1985 predicted statures of our relatively low-income, non-Hispanic white subjects better than did newer 1998 equations developed from a national sample. CONCLUSIONS: The stature of elderly Hispanics from the northeastern United States can be estimated by using equations derived from the same population. These, or similar equations, should be used to estimate stature of frail elderly persons for whom standing height cannot be taken accurately. Socioeconomic status as well as ethnicity may affect results when knee height equations are used. Copyright (c) 1999 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The characteristics of vegetarian diets suggest that these diets would have lower dietary iron bioavailability than nonvegetarian diets, but there is no evidence of iron deficiency in vegetarians. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the responsiveness of serum and fecal ferritin to differences in iron absorption from controlled lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets. DESIGN: Twenty-one women aged 20-42 y with serum ferritin concentrations from 6 to 149 microg/L consumed lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian weighed diets for 8 wk each (crossover design). The diets differed substantially in meat and phytic acid contents. Nonheme-iron absorption was measured from the whole diets after 4 wk by using extrinsic 59Fe and whole-body counting. Ferritin in extracts of fecal composites and in serum was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay the last 2 wk of each diet. RESULTS: Nonheme-iron absorption was less from the lactoovovegetarian diet than from the nonvegetarian diet (1.1% compared with 3.8%; P < 0.01; n = 10). Diet did not affect hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, erythrocyte protoporphyrin, or serum ferritin. Substantially less fecal ferritin was excreted with the lactoovovegetarian diet than with the nonvegetarian diet (1.1 compared with 6.0 microg/d, respectively; P < 0.01; n = 21). CONCLUSIONS: This research indicates 1) 70% lower nonheme-iron absorption from a lactoovovegetarian diet than from a nonvegetarian diet; 2) an associated decrease in fecal ferritin excretion, suggesting partial physiologic adaptation to increase the efficiency of iron absorption; and 3) an insensitivity of blood iron indexes, including serum ferritin, to substantial differences in dietary iron absorption for 8 wk.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Recent studies have questioned the accuracy of using the current recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) to predict usual energy requirements in adults. OBJECTIVE: We developed equations to predict adult energy requirements from simple anthropometric and laboratory measures by using the doubly labeled water method to determine each subject's total energy expenditure (TEE), which is equal to usual energy requirements in weight-stable individuals. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 93 healthy, free-living adults [44 men and 49 women; body mass index range (in kg/m2): 18.4-31.8] aged 18-81 y. Body fat and fat-free mass were measured by underwater weighing, physical activity was estimated by using activity monitors, and resting energy expenditure was determined by indirect calorimetry. Information on anthropometric variables and reported strenuous activity was also collected. RESULTS: Three regression equations were developed and verified for accuracy by using bootstrap analysis and doubly labeled water data published by other research groups. The first equation used information on only age, weight, height, and sex and had an SEE for prediction of TEE of 1.80 MJ/d. The second and third equations used different combinations of basic and laboratory data and had SEEs of 1.55 and 1.65 MJ/d, respectively. With use of the same analytic approaches, the RDAs for energy were shown to significantly underestimate usual energy needs by approximately 10%; the extent of underestimation was significantly greater for subjects with high TEEs than for subjects with low TEEs. CONCLUSION: Regression equations based on doubly labeled water measurements of TEE appear to be more accurate than the current RDAs for predicting energy requirements in healthy, nonobese adults living in affluent countries.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The elevation of circulating total homocysteine concentrations in a fasting state is associated with an increased risk of occlusive vascular disease. OBJECTIVE: The primary goals of this study were to describe the distribution of serum total homocysteine concentrations in the United States and to test for differences in homocysteine concentrations among sex, age, and race-ethnicity categories. DESIGN: Using surplus sera from phase 2 of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we measured serum total homocysteine concentrations for a nationally representative sample of 3766 males and 4819 females aged > or = 12 y. RESULTS: Age-adjusted geometric mean total homocysteine concentrations were 9.6 and 7.9 mmol/L in non-Hispanic white males and females, 9.8 and 8.2 mmol/L in non-Hispanic black males and females, and 9.4 and 7.4 mmol/L in Mexican American males and females, respectively. Age-adjusted geometric mean total homocysteine concentrations were significantly lower in females than in males in each race-ethnicity group (P < 0.01) and were significantly lower in Mexican American females than in non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black females (P < 0.01). There was a significant age-sex interaction (P < 0.01), reflecting the fact that homocysteine concentrations in females tended to diverge from those in males at younger ages and converge with those in males at older ages. CONCLUSIONS: The first data on homocysteine concentrations in a nationally representative sample of Americans confirm the age and sex differences reported previously in nonrepresentative samples. These data also indicate that differences between Mexican American and non-Hispanic females may influence circulating homocysteine concentrations.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Short-term experimental studies suggest that dietary variety may influence body fatness but no long-term human studies have been reported. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether dietary variety within food groups influences energy intake and body fatness. DESIGN: Seventy-one healthy men and women (aged 20-80 y), who provided accurate reports of dietary intake and completed a body-composition assessment, were studied. RESULTS: Dietary variety was positively associated with energy intake within each of 10 food groups (r = 0.27-0.56, P < 0.05). In multiple regression analysis with age and sex controlled for, dietary variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entr'ees, and carbohydrates (as a group) was positively associated with body fatness (partial r = 0.38, P = 0.001) whereas variety from vegetables was negatively associated (partial r = -0.31, P = 0.01) (R2 = 0.46, P < 0.0001). In separate models, both a variety ratio (variety of vegetables/variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entr'ees, and carbohydrates) and percentage dietary fat were significant predictors of body fatness (controlled for age and sex, partial r = -0.39 and 0.31, respectively, P < 0.01). However, dietary fat was no longer significantly associated with body fatness when the variety ratio and dietary fat were included in the same model. CONCLUSIONS: Our data, coupled with those of previous short-term studies, suggest that a high variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entr'ees, and carbohydrates coupled with a low variety of vegetables promotes long-term increases in energy intake and body fatness. These findings may help explain the rising prevalence of obesity. Copyright (c) 1999 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: Lactose intolerance is the most common disorder of intestinal carbohydrate digestion. Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 is a strain of lactobacilli with properties of marked intestinal adherence and high beta-galactosidase activity. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine whether oral feeding of Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 leads to a lactose-tolerant state. DESIGN: We studied 42 subjects with self-reported lactose intolerance and performed breath-hydrogen tests to determine whether they were lactose maldigesters. Subjects with established lactose maldigestion (n = 24) were invited to be randomly assigned to an omeprazole-treated (hypochlorhydric) group or a non-omeprazole-treated group, but 6 subjects chose not to participate. All randomly assigned subjects (n = 18) ingested Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 twice per day for 7 d and stool samples were collected. Breath-hydrogen tests were performed and symptom scores were recorded at baseline and after lactobacilli ingestion. RESULTS: Lactose maldigestion was established in 24 of 42 subjects (57%) with self-reported lactose intolerance. In 18 lactose-maldigesting subjects, overall hydrogen production and symptom scores after ingestion of Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 were not significantly different from baseline values. Live Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 was recovered in stool samples from 7 subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Lactose intolerance is overreported in subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms after lactose ingestion. Treatment of lactose-maldigesting subjects with and without hypochlorhydria with Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 for 7 d failed to change breath-hydrogen excretion significantly after lactose ingestion.

AB  - The bioavailability of lycopene from tomato juice and 2 dietary supplements, each containing 70-75 mg lycopene, was studied in 15 healthy volunteers in a randomized, crossover design. Subjects ingested lycopene-rich tomato juice, tomato oleoresin, lycopene beadlets, and a placebo for 4 wk each while consuming self-selected diets. Treatment periods were separated by 6-wk washout periods. Plasma lycopene concentrations, assessed at baseline and weekly throughout the treatment periods, were significantly higher during tomato juice, oleoresin, and lycopene beadlet ingestion than during placebo ingestion. Mean (+/-SEM) increases in plasma lycopene at week 4 of tomato juice, oleoresin, and lycopene beadlet ingestion were not significantly different: 0.24 +/- 0.07, 0.23 +/- 0.05, and 0.24 +/- 0.06 micromol/L, respectively. Plasma concentrations of phytofluene and phytoene, which were present in small amounts in tomato juice, oleoresin, and lycopene beadlets, increased significantly with ingestion of these 3 products. Beta-carotene, zeta-carotene, and 2,6-cyclolycopene-1,5-diol (a metabolite of lycopene)--also present in tomato juice and supplements--were significantly increased with consumption of the tomato juice and lycopene beadlets, but not with oleoresin consumption. A marked increase in plasma concentrations of an unknown compound was observed; it was detected in trace amounts in tomato juice, oleoresin, and lycopene beadlets, and had a maximum absorbance at 448 nm and a molecular weight of 556. Concentrations of plasma lycopene and other carotenoids with potential for enhancing human health can be increased by ingestion of realistic amounts of tomato juice. Lycopene appears to be equally bioavailable from tomato juice and the supplements used in this study. Copyright (c) 1998 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - BACKGROUND: The putative beneficial effects of an increased consumption of fruit and vegetables have been associated with antioxidant nutrients. However, the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption on the overall antioxidant status in humans is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether a diet rich in fruit and vegetables would affect the antioxidant capacity of human plasma. DESIGN: Thirty-six healthy nonsmokers resided in a metabolic research unit and consumed 2 sets of controlled diets. Diet A contained 10 servings of fruit and vegetables each day for 15 d. Diet B was the same as diet A, except diet B also provided 2 servings of broccoli each day on days 6-10. There was a free-living period of a minimum of 6 wk between the 2 experiments using either diet A or diet B. Fasting plasma antioxidant capacity, measured as oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and alpha-tocopherol concentrations were determined on days 1, 6, 11, and 16. RESULTS: The fasting baseline plasma ORAC of these subjects was significantly correlated with their estimated daily intake of total antioxidants from fruit and vegetables during the previous year. Plasma ORAC of these subjects was significantly increased by both diets A and B. This increase in ORAC could not be explained by the increase in the plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration. CONCLUSION: Increased consumption of fruit and vegetables can increase the plasma antioxidant capacity in humans. Copyright (c) 1998 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - Background: Our objective was to compare the accuracy of drug levels in blood samples obtained from central venous catheters with those from peripheral blood samples taken to monitor various drug levels.Methods: Pediatric patients with central venous catheters receiving aminoglycosides, vancomycin, or cyclosporine had central and peripheral blood samples obtained within 5 minutes of each other and analyzed simultaneously. We ascertained how well blood levels from central venous catheters compared with those from peripheral blood (the criterion standard).Results: There were no clinically significant differences between central and peripheral values for amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, and vancomycin (both peaks and troughs). Preliminary data indicated that oral cyclosporine can be monitored via central venous catheter. In contrast, there was poor agreement between peripheral and central values when cyclosporine was administered by IV.Conclusions: Amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, vancomycin, and probably oral cyclosporine can be monitored accurately via central venous catheter. In contrast, IV cyclosporine should be monitored via peripheral blood.

AB  - Seasonal changes in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were studied in 51 black and 39 white women aged 20-40 y from Boston. Individual measurements were made in February or March (February-March), June or July (June-July), October or November (October-November), and the following February or March (February-March). Samples from the four visits were analyzed in batches at the end of the study. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D was substantially lower in black than in white women at all the time points, including February-March when values were lowest (30.2 +/- 19.7 nmol/L in black and 60.0 +/- 21.4 nmol/L in white women) and June-July when they were highest (41.0 +/- 16.4 nmol/L in black and 85.4 +/- 33.0 nmol/L in white women). Although both groups showed seasonal variation in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, the mean increase between February-March and June-July was smaller in black women (10.8 +/- 14.0 nmol/L compared with 25.4 +/- 29.8 nmol/L in white women, P = 0.006) and their overall amplitude of seasonal change was lower (P = 0.001). Concentrations of serum parathyroid hormone in February-March were significantly higher (P < 0.005) in black women (5.29 +/- 2.32 pmol/L) than in white women (4.08 +/- 1.41 pmol/L) and were significantly inversely correlated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D in blacks (r = -0.42, P = 0.002) but not in whites (r = -0.19, P = 0.246). Although it is well established that blacks have denser bones and lower fracture rates than whites, elevated parathyroid hormone concentrations resulting from low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations may have negative skeletal consequences within black populations.

AB  - Persons with neuromuscular disease (NMD) have progressive weakness and wasting of skeletal muscle, reduced fat-free mass, and increased fat mass relative to healthy control subjects. To test the hypothesis that resting energy expenditure (REE), estimated total daily energy expenditure (TEE), and physical activity patterns are altered in ambulatory adults with NMD, 26 adult men and women with slowly progressive NMD and 19 able-bodied control subjects similar in age and weight were evaluated. REE was measured after an overnight fast by indirect calorimetry, TEE by heart rate monitoring, and body composition by air-displacement plethysmography. REE was not significantly different between NMD and control subjects; however, TEE was significantly reduced in NMD subjects compared with control subjects, respectively (women: 7.8 +/- 1.5 compared with 10.5 +/- 2.8; men: 10.2 +/- 3.6 compared with 12.7 +/- 2.6 MJ/d; P < or = 0.01), indicating that NMD subjects expended less energy in physical activity than did control subjects. NMD subjects also tended toward an increased energy cost of physical activity, particularly at higher activity levels (P = 0.06). Multiple regression analysis indicated that for all subjects combined, adiposity was positively associated with age and TEE and negatively associated with time spent in the active heart rate range and fat-free mass (P < or = 0.0001). This relation did not differ between NMD and control subjects, nor did it differ between men and women. We hypothesize that because of their reduced physical activity and increased adiposity, persons with NMD may be at risk for developing secondary conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.

AB  - Epidemiologic studies have found a relation between body iron stores and risk of chronic disease. Iron-absorption studies from single meals have shown that many dietary factors can influence nonheme-iron bioavailability. However, little is known about the association of these dietary factors with iron stores in free-living elderly populations. To address this question, we investigated the consumption of various dietary components and iron stores in an elderly sample of The Framingham Heart Study participants. Serum ferritin was used as a measure of body iron stores in 634 free-living elderly (67-93 y of age), and dietary intake during the previous year was assessed by a food-frequency questionnaire. The relation between serum ferritin and various dietary factors was assessed by multiple regression analysis. Subjects whose ferritin concentrations might be pathologically elevated because of infection, inflammation, liver disease, or genetic hemochromatosis were excluded from the analysis. After we controlled for sex, age, body mass index, total energy intake, smoking, and use of aspirin and other medications known to affect blood loss, we found five significant dietary factors associated with iron stores. Heme iron, supplemental iron, dietary vitamin C, and alcohol were positively associated with serum ferritin, whereas coffee intake had a negative association. As expected, sex was a strong predictor of serum ferritin-women having significantly lower mean concentrations than men. However, age was not related to serum ferritin in our elderly population. Our results suggest that in typical Western-style diets, a small number of dietary factors probably modulate the bioavailability of dietary iron and influence the accumulation of iron stores.

AB  - This randomized, controlled study evaluated the bioavailability of phylloquinone from an intravenous lipid emulsion. A mild vitamin K deficiency was induced in 12 healthy adult men and women by dietary restriction of phylloquinone (40 microg/d, days 1-11) and by administration of warfarin (1.0 mg/d, days 5-11). On day 11, subjects received a 500-mL intravenous solution of either lipid or saline, both of which contained 154 microg phylloquinone. Bioavailability was assessed by serial measurements of plasma phylloquinone, vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide. PIVKA-II (proteins induced by vitamin K absence or antagonists-II), and percentage undercarboxylated osteocalcin. As a result of vitamin K deficiency and minidose warfarin, vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide, PIVKA-II, and percentage undercarboxylated osteocalcin increased significantly between days 1 and 11 (P = 0.05, 0.016, and 0.001, respectively). With the infusions, plasma phylloquinone increased in both groups (P = 0.001). After the infusions vitamin K,-2,3-epoxide decreased in both groups (P = 0.002). Changes in plasma phylloquinone and vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide were no different in the two groups (mean areas under the curves +/- SEM: 116+/-13 nmol x h/L for the saline group and 102+/-20 nmol x h/L for the lipid group for phylloquinone; 38.6+/-7.5 nmol x h/L for the saline group and 31.3+/-9.0 nmol x h/L for the lipid group for vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide). PIVKA-II decreased significantly from baseline values (P = 0.005) in both groups after the infusions. Intravenous lipid reversed the effects of minidose warfarin and of dietary restriction of phylloquinone on hemostasis and vitamin K nutritional status. This reversal was no different from that seen with the infusion of phylloquinone in a saline solution.

AB  - To examine whether total fat intake is actually lower in reduced-fat (low-fat and skim) milk drinkers and whether reduced-fat-milk drinkers compensate for energy intake we compared the intakes of foods, energy, and energy-yielding nutrients in reduced-fat-milk drinkers and whole milk drinkers by using the US Department of Agriculture's 1989-1991 nationwide food intake database, the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. This database represents a national stratified sample population of 15 128 individuals. Of the survey population, approximately one-third consumed whole milk, one-third consumed low-fat milk, one-tenth consumed skim milk, and one-tenth consumed mixed types of milk. The data provided the following information: 1) total fat intake of reduced-fat-milk drinkers is significantly (P < or = 0.05) lower than that of whole milk drinkers; 2) in general, males but not females compensate for energy by increasing their carbohydrate intake; 3) reduced-fat-milk drinkers consume more fruit and vegetables (P < or = 0.05) and less red meat and sweets (P < or = 0.05) than whole milk drinkers; 4) through their reduction in total fat intake, several age groups of skim milk drinkers have achieved the US dietary goal for fat intake, ie, < or = 30% of energy intake from fat; 5) teenagers compensate for energy intake the least of all age groups; and 6) with advancing age, fewer people drink milk and fewer drink whole milk. The data indicate significant sex differences in energy compensation, that reduced-fat-milk drinkers consume significantly (P < or = 0.05) less fat than whole milk drinkers, and that the US dietary goal for fat intake may be practically achieved by consuming reduced-fat foods such as skim milk and limiting intakes of high-fat foods such as red meat.

AB  - Zinc absorption, mineral balance, and blood lipid concentrations were measured in 21 women aged 33 +/- 7 y (range: 20-42 y) consuming controlled lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets for 8 wk each in a crossover design. The lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets, respectively, provided (by analysis) 973 and 995 mg Ca, 1.8 and 1.3 mg Cu, 367 and 260 mg Mg, 5.9 and 2.5 mg Mn, 1457 and 1667 mg P, 9.1 and 11.1 mg Zn, and (by calculation) 40 and 16 g dietary fiber, 2.5 and 0.8 mmol phytic acid, molar ratios of phytate to Zn of 14 and 5, and millimolar ratios of (phytate x Ca) to Zn of 344 and 111. Dietary zinc absorption was measured by extrinsic isotopic labeling and whole-body counting. Plasma cholesterol, cholesterol fractions, and lipoproteins were reduced 7-12% with the lactoovovegetarian diet, consistent with predictions based on dietary cholesterol and fat. Blood pressure was unaffected. Calcium, copper, magnesium, and phosphorus balances were not different between diets; manganese balance tended to be greater with the lactoovovegetarian diet (P < 0.07). The lactoovovegetarian diet was associated with a 21% reduction in absorptive efficiency that, together with a 14% reduction in dietary zinc, reduced the amount of zinc absorbed by 35% (2.4 compared with 3.7 mg/d) and reduced plasma zinc by 5% within the normal range. Zinc balance was maintained with both diets. Although there is a greater risk of zinc deficiency in persons consuming lactoovovegetarian compared with omnivorous diets, with inclusion of whole grains and legumes zinc requirements can be met and zinc balance maintained.

AB  - To determine whether the lean body mass of well-nourished women was mobilized to support milk protein output during lactation, the body composition of 10 lactating and 10 nonlactating women was examined longitudinally at 6-wk intervals between 6 and 24 wk postpartum and at 52 wk postpartum, and that of 10 nulliparous women was examined at equivalent intervals, by using clinical anthropometry and whole-body potassium counting. Milk production was determined at 6-wk intervals during the period of exclusive breast-feeding (6-24 wk postpartum) by the test-weighing procedure. Milk composition was determined by chemical analysis. Dietary intakes were determined at 6-wk intervals between 6 and 24 wk postpartum from 3-d food records with use of a nutrient database. Lean body mass was maintained in women who exclusively breast-fed their infants during the first 6 mo postpartum while consuming dietary protein in amounts that exceeded those of their nonlactating counterparts by 55%. The high protein intakes were sustained throughout lactation despite a progressive reduction by 32% of milk protein output. Lean body mass was preserved throughout lactation in well-nourished women, suggesting that the metabolic needs of milk protein production were met solely by higher protein intakes of the lactating women.

AB  - Term selection is essential to the indexing process. It is the process of understanding the text information and then articulating that information in the form of main headings and subentries. The cognitive skills required for good term selection include reading comprehension, the ability to conceptualize, and the ability to articulate concepts in a concise and intelligible manner. Absent such skills, students will be unable to learn and apply the term selection curriculum. Examines the following issues: (1) whether it is possible to teach term selection; (2) the cognitive and reading comprehension skills required to learn term selection; (3) what is involved in teaching term selection; and (4) the responsibilities of the student vis-Á-vis the teacher in the learning of term selection. Concludes that the learning of term selection should become a collaborative effort on the part of teacher and student, with both bringing indispensable contributions to the process.

AB  - For more than 50 years, the US Department of Energy and predecessor agencies have been serving information customers. Until recently, the two major end products for disseminating this information were Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) and the Energy Science and Technology Database (EDB), which are searchable through commercial vendors, online, and via CD-ROM. Together these databases offer more than 5 million records in energy science and technology. The progression to the electronic dissemination of this information has been underway at DOE for more than six years, and using the National Library of Medicine's example of PubMed Central, it became apparent that Web technology could be used to integrate publisher submitted citations and abstracts into a searchable database, utilizing hyperlinks to take users to the publisher for full-text information. In partnership with the US Government Printing Office and 21 publishers, DOE unveiled PubScience in Fall 1999 and has received quite favorable user response.

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Today's livestock diversity originated from the wild ancestor species and was subsequently shaped through the processes of mutation, genetic drift, and natural and human selection. Only a subset of the diversity present in the ancestral species survives in the domestic counterparts. A 2007 report released by UN Food and Agriculture Organization 'The State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources', compiled from surveys conducted in 169 countries, found that nearly 70% of the world's remaining livestock breeds live in developing countries. The UN report was presented to more than 300 policy makers, scientists, breeders, and livestock keepers at the First International Technical Conference on Animal Genetic Resources, held in September 2007 in Interlaken, Switzerland. The conference aims were to adopt a global plan of action for conserving animal genetic resources as its main outcome. In this paper, the current and potential contributions of reproductive and molecular biotechnology are considered as tools of conserving rare breeds of livestock

AB  - OBJECTIVES: Understanding the nutritional consequences of food insufficiency is important for informed policy-making that addresses the problem of domestic hunger. This study estimated the extent to which individuals from food-insufficient households were likely to have low intakes of energy and 14 other nutrients. METHODS: The diets of pre-schoolers, adult women, and the elderly were analyzed with 24-hour recall data from the 1989 through 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the association of self-reported household food insufficiency with nutrient intakes below 50% of the recommended daily allowance. RESULTS: For adult women, food insufficiency was significantly associated with low intakes of eight nutrients, including energy, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, C, and B6. Elderly individuals in the food-insufficient group were also more likely to have low intakes of eight nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamins A and B6. Household food insufficiency was not significantly associated with low intakes among preschoolers. CONCLUSIONS: The results validate the use of self-reported hunger measures in nutritional surveillance and highlight nutrients of concern for food assistance and nutrition education efforts targeted at individuals from food-insufficient households.

AB  - We designed the present study to examine the cross-sectional relation between age-related lens opacities and vitamin C supplement use over a 10-12-y period before assessment of lens status in women without diagnosed cataract or diabetes. This design avoids biased measurement of nutrient intake that results when knowledge of lens opacities influences nutrition-related behavior or its reporting. The participants were 247 Boston-area women aged 56-71 y selected from the Nurses' Health Study cohort with oversampling of women with high or low vitamin C intakes. Lens opacities were graded with the Lens Opacification Classification System II. Use of vitamin C supplements for > or = 10 y (n = 26) was associated with a 77% lower prevalence of early lens opacities (odds ratio: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.60) at any lens site and a 83% lower prevalence of moderate lens opacities (odds ratio: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.85) at any lens site compared with women who did not use vitamin C supplements (n = 141) after adjustment for age and other potentially confounding variables. Women who consumed vitamin C supplements for < 10 y showed no evidence of a reduced prevalence of early opacities. These data, together with data from earlier experimental and epidemiologic studies, suggest that long-term consumption of vitamin C supplements may substantially reduce the development of age-related lens opacities.

N2  - Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of visual impairment in the USA. There is currently no effective cure for this disease. Risk factors include decreased lutein and zeaxanthin status and obesity. Obesity is also an increasing public health concern. The alarming increase in the prevalence of obesity further exacerbates the public health concern of AMD. The mechanism by which obesity increases the risk of AMD may be related to the physiological changes that occur with this condition. These include increased oxidative stress, changes in the lipoprotein profile, and increased inflammation. These changes would also result in an increased destruction and a decreased circulatory delivery of lutein and zeaxanthin to the macula of the eye. Therefore, the mechanism by which obesity is related to AMD risk may be through indirect effects on changes in lutein and zeaxanthin status and metabolism.

N2  - A high performance anion exchange chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector method was developed to detect, separate, and quantify galacturonic acid (GA) oligomers. Following digestion of polygalacturonic acid (PGA) with a monocomponent endo-polygalacturonase, more than 70 GA oligomer peaks could be resolved using a convex/linear ammonium formate gradient. Linear calibration curves were produced for 0.015-1.0% mono-, di-, and tri-GA. The mass response for mono-GA differed from those for di- and tri-GA, as evidenced from the slope of the calibration curve regression lines (1.611±0.0201 for mono-GA vs. 1.3068±0.0291 and 1.3004±0.0262 for di-, and tri-GA, respectively). The degree of polymerization (DP) appeared to affect mass response as the trend line for log-transformed peak areas of DP 3, 4, 6, and 8 oligomers had a slope of -0.0304±0.0032 (r2=0.98). Buffer concentration also affected mass response. Analysis of variance of peak areas from isocratic elution of trimer and hexamer with 50 mM to 0.8 M ammonium formate indicated mass response was dependent on buffer concentration for each oligomer (P&lt;0.005), although Duncan's Multiple Range Test described concentration ranges within which mass response was not affected (P&lt;0.05).

N2  - Campylobacter is the primary cause of bacterial diarrhoeal illness in the developed world, with an estimated 2-3 million Campylobacter-related illnesses occurring in the United States per year. Although thermophilic Campylobacter species are considered foodborne pathogens, most illnesses caused by Campylobacter occur sporadically. Campylobacter species rarely cause food- or waterborne outbreaks, but in rare cases serious neuropathy and paralytic illness has occurred in association with a sporadic Campylobacter infection. In this chapter we will review reports of the incidence of Campylobacter species in poultry and livestock, and in the food and water supply. We will also review reports of Campylobacter-related outbreaks and the links to food and water sources. Additionally, we will review studies of molecular methods that have been developed to rapidly detect, identify and discriminate Campylobacter species and strains present in food and water, and that could be used also to potentially source track Campylobacter related to outbreaks.

N2  - The use of enzymes in chemical processing is gaining favour due to the reduction of hazardous chemicals and because it is considered to be environmentally safe. The acyl transfer reaction between primary amines and glutamine residues in proteins is catalysed by the enzyme transglutaminase. The efficiency of microbial transglutaminase to attach functional amines and catalyse inter- and intra-molecular crosslinks was investigated using reduced carboxymethylated κ-casein, gelatin and wool. Model systems used in this research gave evidence of both cross-linking of the protein and covalent binding of the primary amine o-phosphorylethanolamine to the protein. These data agree with earlier publications that show transglutaminase catalyses the formation of covalent cross-links between the γ-carboxyamide group of glutamine and the ε-amino group of lysine and also the incorporation of primary amines into proteins. Preliminary analysis of treated wool indicated the covalent bonding of the functional amine to the protein. Our goal is to increase the value of wool by enzymatic addition of functional groups to the wool fibre.

N2  - Optimal crop choice and fertilizer applications depend on the stochastic dynamics of commodity prices, fertilizer prices, and the agronomic effects of rotation versus monoculture. The efficient decision rule accounts for real option values associated with maintaining land disposition in an environment with highly uncertain future prices and irreversible past planting decisions. We parameterize a baseline model for a representative acre in Iowa and compare the model's predictions and profits to relatively naive, shorter-horizon decision rules, and a field managed with optimal fertilizer applications conditional on corn and soybeans always being rotated. We also examine the effects of a permanently larger premium on corn prices relative to soybean prices, which has been observed in locations near recently established ethanol plants. We then compare the various decision rules to actual crop choices in a panel of over 6500 Iowa plots during 1979-2007. As compared to less forward-looking objectives, we find the agronomic benefits of rotations coupled with real option values can lead to a more inelastic response of planting decisions to both transitory and permanent price changes. Always rotating, regardless of prices, is close to optimal, but so are shorter-horizon objectives. One implication is that reduced corn monoculture and fertilizer application rates might be implemented with modest incentive payments of $4 per acre or less.

The study suggests that the signs of dietary magnesium deficiency may include heart arrhythmias, impaired glucose homeostasis and altered lipid and oxidative metabolism. Also, it notes that a highly positive magnesium balance upon feeding a magnesium adequate diet after magnesium deprivation would be confirmation of a low or deficient magnesium status.

N2  - Reducing greenhouse gas emissions not only lowers expected damages from climate change but also reduces the risk of catastrophic impacts. However, estimates of the social cost of carbon, which measures the marginal value of carbon dioxide abatement, often do not capture this risk reduction benefit. Risk-averse individuals are willing to pay a risk premium, an additional amount beyond the difference in expected damages, to reduce risks. The authors review methods used and estimates obtained for calculating a risk premium to be included in the social cost of carbon. While more research is needed in this area, work to date suggests a positive, and potentially substantial, risk premium on the social cost of carbon is warranted.

N2  - Using empirical default probabilities and profitability distributions, a simulation model is developed to identify the long-term value of relationships among differing credit rating and loan amount groups. According to the results generated from a set of lending relationships, agricultural lenders are pricing low and moderate credit rating customers such that similar long-term values are found among the groups. Also, large loan amount relationships generate more dollars of lifetime value. The large relationships, however, earn fewer dollars of lifetime value per dollar of loan amount among risk peers. Implications are also drawn for the retention rates of existing customers.

N2  - The rate of return on farm assets is a key indicator of the profitability of farm sector investments. The residual income approach is most commonly used to estimate the returns to farm assets, farmland, and labor and management. However this approach may be sensitive to the underlying assumptions. This study examines the implications of the residual return assumption by using alternative formulations for computing the rate of return to farm assets. Specifically, we develop the rate of return on agricultural assets using an alternative imputation method. We demonstrate that the presence of multiple quasi-fixed factors implies the rate of return to farm assets may be understated by the residual income approach.

N2  - The market for insuring insect damage is far from complete. This study introduces a new type of derivative instrument--insect derivatives--that provide growers a market-based means of transferring insect risk to speculators or others who may profit from higher insect populations. A risk-neutral valuation model is developed and applied to Bemisia tabaci population data. Economic simulation models show how insect derivatives can improve risk-return results for a representative cotton farm in the Imperial Valley of California. The results suggest that insect derivatives may become important risk management tools for a wide range of growers.

N2  - A model of endogenous risk provides a foundation to study a parent's child care decisions when the child could be exposed to an environmental hazard (e.g., toxic substance, foodborne pathogen). The parent invests in childcare quality and quantity to reduce the likelihood of a hazard exposure occurring and to reduce its severity if the exposure is realized. We supply conditions to sign unambiguously the effects on a child's hazard exposure of an increased probability a parent fails to access or have command over a technique of exposure prevention or that a technique is ineffective in preventing exposure. Also, we consider these effects when the parent is unsure what a technique can do to reduce the child's probability of exposure. We conclude public policies designed to encourage use of a particular childcare technique, if childcare quality and quantity are stochastic substitutes, can reduce parental use of other techniques. The net impact of the policy could increase the chance the child suffers.

N2  - This study uses a large increase in US Federal crop insurance subsidies as a natural experiment to identify the importance of risk for farm operator labour supply. Subsidy increases induced greater crop insurance coverage, which in turn reduced farmers' financial risks. Crop insurance participation data are merged with farm-level Census of Agriculture data from 1992 and 1997 to compare how individuals' off-farm labour supply changed in response to the policy-induced change in insurance coverage. The empirical approach controls for unobserved heterogeneity and accounts for the censored nature of the data. It is found that greater insurance coverage reduces the off-farm labour supply of operators who produced at least $100,000 of output, and increased the labour supply of small-farm operators who produced less than $25,000 of output.

N2  - White maize is the staple food of the majority of the South African population. We examine if smallholder farmers that adopted insect-resistant (Bt) varieties of white maize benefited from planting Bt over the last three seasons. Commercial farmers are known to benefit from planting Bt maize in high stalk borer or corn borer infestation years, but when planted in locations or years when stalk borers are not a problem, Bt will usually not be profitable because of higher seed costs. In the first two production seasons, small farmers enjoyed higher yields with Bt maize than with conventional hybrid varieties despite lower-than-normal (yet still significant) stalk borer pressure and less-than-ideal maize production conditions. Yield is expressed according to grain per kilogram of seed planted, as seeding rates per land area differ drastically between small-scale farmers. The value of the yield benefit depended on how the farmer utilized the additional grain, with the highest valued use being home grinding and consumption substituting for more expensive store purchases. In the third season, which was also the fourth consecutive drier-than-usual season, the stalk borer infestation level was very low, and farmers who planted Bt maize had yields similar to farmers who planted conventional hybrids.

N2  - This article examines economic efficiency (EE) of crop production of Russian corporate farms for 1993-1998. EE declined over the period, due to declines in both technical and allocative efficiency. Technical efficiency (TE) results indicate that output levels could have been maintained while reducing overall input use by an average of 29-31% in 1998, depending on the method used, while the allocative efficiency (AE) results show that costs could have been reduced about 30%. The EE scores show that Russian corporate farms could have increased efficiency by reducing the use of all inputs, particularly fertilizer and fuel. Russian agriculture inherited machinery-intensive technology from the Soviet era, which may be inappropriate given the relative abundance of labor in the post-reform environment. Investment constraints have prevented the replacement of old machinery-intensive technology with smaller scale machines that allow for a more labor-using technology.

AB  - Objective: To estimate the potential benefits and risks of food folic acid fortification for an elderly population. Benefits are expected through the improvement of folate and homocysteine status, but there is also a risk of masking or precipitating clinical manifestations related to vitamin B12 deficiency with increasing exposure to folic acid.Design: Cross-sectional analysis, with projected change at various levels of folic acid fortification.Setting: Participants in the Framingham Heart Study original cohort.Participants: A total of 747 subjects aged 67 to 96 years who both completed usable food frequency questionnaires and had blood concentrations of B vitamins and homocysteine measured.Main Outcome Measures: Projected blood folate and homocysteine concentrations and combined high folate intake and low plasma vitamin B12 concentration.Results: Percentages of this elderly population with folate intake below 400 microg/d are projected to drop from 66% at baseline to 49% with 140 microg of folate per 100 g of cereal-grain product, to 32% with 280 microg, to 26% with 350 microg, and to 11% with 700 microg. Percentages with elevated homocysteine concentrations (>14 micromol/L) are projected to drop from 26% at baseline to 21% with 140 microg of folate per 100 g, to 17% with 280 microg, to 16% with 350 microg, and to 12% with 700 microg. Without fortification, the prevalence of combined high folate intake (>1000 microg/d) and low plasma vitamin B12 concentration (<185 pmol/L [<250 pg/mL]) was 0.1%. This is projected to increase to 0.4% with folate fortification levels of 140 to 350 microg/100 g and to 3.4% with 700 microg.Conclusion: The evidence suggests that, at the level of 140 microg/100 g of cereal-grain product mandated by the Food and Drug Administration, the benefits of folate fortification, through projected decreases in homocysteine level and heart disease risk, greatly outweigh the expected risks. However, quantification of the actual risks associated with vitamin B12 deficiency remains elusive. Before higher levels of folic acid fortification are implemented, further research is needed to better understand the clinical course of various forms of vitamin B12 deficiency, to measure the potential effect of high folate intake on this course, and to identify cost-effective approaches to the identification and treatment of all forms of vitamin B12 deficiency.

AB  - Natural killer (NK) cell activity has been postulated to be an immunologic link between beta-carotene and cancer prevention. In a cross-sectional, placebo-controlled, double-blind study we examined the effect of 10-12 y of beta-carotene supplementation (50 mg on alternate days) on NK cell activity in 59 (38 middle-aged men, 51-64 y; 21 elderly men, 65-86 y) Boston area participants in the Physicians' Health Study. No significant difference was seen in NK cell activity due to beta-carotene supplementation in the middle-aged group. The elderly men had significantly lower NK cell activity than the middle-aged men; however, there was no age-associated difference in NK cell activity in men supplemented with beta-carotene. Beta-carotene-supplemented elderly men had significantly greater NK cell activity than elderly men receiving placebo. The reason for this is unknown; however, it was not due to an increase in the percentage of NK cells, nor to an increase in interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor expression, nor to IL-2 production. beta-carotene may be acting directly on one or more of the lytic stages of NK cell cytotoxicity, or on NK cell activity-enhancing cytokines other than IL-2, such as IL-12. Our results show that long-term beta-carotene supplementation enhances NK cell activity in elderly men, which may be beneficial for viral and tumoral surveillance.

AB  - To determine the effects of long-term beta-carotene supplementation on concentrations of carotenoids and tocopherols in plasma and in blood cells, fasting blood was collected from 73 randomly selected physicians from the Boston area who are participating in the Physicians Health Study (PHS). The PHS is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. In 1982, 22 071 male physicians were assigned to one of four treatments (325 mg aspirin alone, 50 mg beta-carotene alone, both, or neither) every other day. Plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and red blood cells (RBCs) from physicians who have participated in the study for approximately 12 y were analyzed for carotenoids and tocopherols. Compared with the placebo group, the supplemented group had higher beta-carotene concentrations in plasma (1.73 + 0.16 compared with 0.54 +/- 0.06 micromol/L), RBCs (91.5 +/- 9.7 compared with 31.2 +/- 4.2 pmol/g hemoglobin), and PBMCs (61.6 +/- 10.3 compared with 15.5 + 2.5 pmol/10(7) cells). There were no differences in other carotenoids or tocopherols in plasma, RBCs, and PBMCs between these two groups. The beta-carotene-supplemented group had higher total carotenoids only in plasma. In both supplemented and placebo groups, plasma beta-carotene significantly correlated with both RBC and PBMC beta-carotene concentrations. Plasma cryptoxanthin correlated with both RBC and PBMC cryptoxanthin concentrations but plasma lycopene correlated only with PBMC lycopene concentrations. These data suggest that plasma may not be the best indicator of carotenoid status. Furthermore, long-term beta-carotene supplementation in men results in higher beta-carotene concentrations in plasma, RBCs, and PBMCs without lowering concentrations of other carotenoids or tocopherols.

AB  - The accuracy and precision of four different food intake assessment methods were evaluated in young and older women by comparing reported energy intakes with doubly labeled water measurements total energy expenditure (TEE). A study lasting 8 d was conducted in 10 young women aged 25.2 +/- 1.1 y (mean +/- SEM) and in 10 older women aged 74.0 +/- 1.4 y. Free-living TEE was measured over 7 d and food consumption was determined from weighed food intake data (7 d), a 24-h food recall (in duplicate), and two different food-frequency questionnaires [Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC)/Block and Willett, both in duplicate]. In addition, body composition was determined by using hydrodensitometry, and strenuous physical activity and the extent of dietary restraint were determined by questionnaire. In young women, 24-h recall gave mean energy intakes that were closest to measures of TEE (-0.34 +/- 3.71 MJ/d compared with TEE, P = 0.178), and energy intakes by food-frequency questionnaires were the only intake data that correlated significantly with individual values for TEE (P < 0.05). In older women, food-frequency questionnaires gave mean energy intakes that were closest to measured TEE (+/-0.53 +/- 2.95 MJ/d with the Willett questionnaire and -1.19 +/- 3.02 MJ/d with the FHCRC/Block questionnaire). No energy intake data from this group correlated significantly with values for TEE. The 7-d weighed dietary intakes were significantly lower than measured TEE in both young and older women (-2.0 MJ/d in young and older women combined, P < 0.001), and did not correlate significantly with values for TEE, although they did most closely mirror the mean difference in TEE between the young and older women (2.30 MJ/d for TEE and 2.11 MJ/d for 7-d weighed intake). These data suggest that none of the methods studied gave accurate estimates of the usual energy requirements of individual subjects. In addition, the results suggest that for some types of studies, simple methods for assessing group mean dietary intake may actually give more accurate information than weighed dietary intakes.

AB  - Erda's technical information center (tic), which was initially established as a clearinghouse for nuclear science information, now includes all other forms of energy information as well. This pamphlet discusses the tic interactive system for processing energy information. The scope and purpose of the system are examined. Data processing activities of tic are carried out by a computer services branch. Figures are included which show organizational and functional make-ups of tic and of the computer services branch. Erda's energy information data base (eedb) supports a number of erda programs, several of which are delineated. The growth plans and design philosophy of the tic input system are described. The initial installation in 1969 of a computing system capable of generating a bibliographic data base searchable by computer is shown. Various hardware elements of the system are discussed, and a chart is included showing the configuration of this system. Software, consisting of resident and nonresident software, is listed. General adp functions, including eedb and tic on-line input, are described and flow charts included. A table lists data elements used in descriptive cataloging. Products available from eedb are listed, and facilities for specialized on-line access and other applications are delineated.

AB  - Chapter 13, p. 221-238, of this annual report summarizes the information activities of the u.s. Atomic energy commission (aec). These activities are grouped under the headings: technical information, public information and films, declassification activities, and patent information. An arrangement was made with the national lending library in england to sell aec reports on european purchasers and to collect european reports on nuclear technology for aec. A new specialized information center, the aerospace nuclear safety center, was established at sandia laboratory. A shock wave data center began operating at lawrence radiation laboratory, berkeley, calif. A national neutron cross section data center wad formed at brookhaven national laboratory by combining the sigma center and the cross section evalation center. Coverage of aecnasa tech briefs was expanded to broaden the dissemination to industry of information on technical innovations. Six foreign countries begin providing english language abstracts of their respective nuclear reports for inclusion in nuclear science abstracts (nsa), which abstracted 47,000 items in 1967. Mechanized sorting and composition are now used to prepare author, corporate author, report number, and subject indexes for each semimonthly issue of nsa. The report provides extensive tabular listings of aec personnel, facilities, and programs.

AB  - The technical information center (tic) acquires and brings under bibliographic control information related to the administrative and research, development, and demonstration activities of the department of energy (doe). Three major data bases are being created and maintained; the energy information data base (edb) containing scientific and technical information covering all areas of energy as well as quasi-technical information in the areas of energy policy and management; the general and practical information base (gap) containing mass-distribution information on energy, 'howto' information primarily in the areas of energy conservation and solar energy utilization, and information on energy-related legialstion and standards; and the research in progress information base (rip), which describes current research and development programs in the field of energy. Two smaller, classified data bases are also produced, one on weapons data and the second containing other information that must be given limited distribution. Two of the more significant components of the document records stored are abstracts and subject descriptors. This manual contains the guideliness used in abstract writing and editing and in subject descriptor selection. The associated acquisition and subject categorization functions are also addressed.

AB  - This is a report on the establishment of fcst on 13 march 1959 and which considers its objectives, membership, history, and activities until 15 october 1976, when it was given a new structure and established as a statutory body under a slightly modified name, that of fccset. The new and broader working-committee structure of the council was organized to correspond to six current national problem areas: those of science, engineering and technology, in which there are substantial federally sponsored programs, and related research and development policy and mangement areas. This consolidates the work of fourteen committees and task-force groups of the old fcst and adds the capability to address important interagency issues concerned with such topics as ecology, water quality, land use, nutrition, federal and private r & d institutional resources including manpower, science information and international technology transfer. The report is arranged in three parts. An introduction defines the purpose of the council, reports on its membership, outlines its history, indicates problems under its purview and refers to the establishment of the statutory body. The second and third parts describe the work of the fcst committees. Seven appendices document the report: a) title iv, public law 94-282, 11 may 1976, establishment fccset; b) the title iv, public law 94-282, 11 mary 1976, establishing fccset; b) the formal functions of fcst, executive order 10807, 13 march 1959; c) white house press release and amending executives order 11381, 8 november 1967;d) committee officers; e) reports published by the council and its committees, 1975-76 f) bibliography of reports of the council and its committees;and g) abbreviations used.

N2  - We develop and assess two inter-area cost-of-enough-food indices using nationally representative data from the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplements on how much households say they would need to spend to just meet their food needs. We calculate the indices for 470 geographic areas identified by state, specific metropolitan statistical area (or nonmetropolitan), and central-city/balance-MSA residence. On average, the cost-of-enough-food is between 11 and 14 percent less for nonmetropolitan households than for otherwise similar metropolitan households. These findings suggest that differences in poverty rates generally overstate differences in material hardship experienced by households in rural areas versus urban areas.

N2  - We model the interaction of off-farm work and adoption of agricultural technologies and the impact of adopting these technologies on farm household income (from on farm and off-farm sources) after controlling for such interaction, and estimate the model for the case of adoption of herbicide-tolerant (HT) soybeans using a nationwide survey of soybean farms for 2000. We find that adoption of HT soybeans significantly increases off-farm household income for U.S. soybean farmers, after controlling for other factors. In addition, while on-farm household income is not significantly affected by adoption, total household income does increase significantly.

N2  - It is widely recognized that purchases of perishable agricultural products are affected by the seasonal cycles of production. When there are seasonal effects where seasonal buying is not explained by prices alone, the seasonal component can be captured using appropriate dummy variables in a demand model. However, over time the introduction of different varieties and foreign sources of supply in the market may affect the seasonal structure in unknown ways, and because of this, it becomes important to identify and test for characteristics of seasonal structure in demand models. In this article, we set out to measure and test the various characteristics of the seasonal component of fruit demand. We model seasonality in the context of an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model, where we consider several types of fruit demand in the United States.

N2  - Beefpacking underwent a dramatic transformation in the 1970s and 1980s, as plants got much larger and industry concentration rose dramatically. We use individual Census Bureau plant records to analyze the sources of the transformation. We find that there were modest but extensive scale economies in packing plants, covering the full range of plant sizes, and that such economies became more important throughout the period of the study. As production shifted to larger plants, we estimate that the industry's aggregate processing costs fell by 35.3% by 2002, compared to what they would have been without consolidation.

N2  - Our article considers the economic contributions of forest ecosystem services, using a case study from Flores, Indonesia, in which forest protection in upstream watersheds stabilize soil and hydrological flows in downstream farms. We focus on the demand for a weak complement to the ecosystem services--farm labor--and account for spatial dependence due to economic interactions, ecosystem processes, and data integration. The estimated models have theoretically expected properties across eight different specifications. We find strong evidence that forest ecosystem services provide economically substantive benefits to local people and that these services would be substantially undervalued if spatial dependence is ignored.

N2  - Farm families with incomes below the poverty line are far less likely than wealthier farmers to receive farm support payments. Using data from the 1989-2004 Current Population Survey, we find that poor farm families are also not participating in other assistance programs. Controlling for other factors, eligible farm families have substantially lower participation rates in the Food Stamp Program and in Medicaid than eligible nonfarm families. Removing farm safety net program payments would increase the number of farmers eligible for these programs but, in the absence of behavioral changes, would only lead to small increases in the number of recipients.

N2  - Economists provide sometimes contradictory information about economic systems that contribute to policy design. How does one value this type of knowledge? A political-economic game is presented that allows for reinforcing and contradictory research messages. Policy makers are assumed to follow a Bayesian decision theory process and the model is tested with quantitative estimates of the value of research on the degree of bias in the Consumer Price Index. Most economists agree that a bias exists, but published estimates vary widely. A blue-ribbon panel of economists recommended revisions to how the index is calculated, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics subsequently made revisions that differed from their original plans, but how much influence did the panel really have on the revisions?

N2  - A dynamic model of selective harvesting in multi-species, multi-age tropical forests is developed. Forests are predicted to exhibit different optimal harvesting profiles depending on the nature of their joint cost functions and own or cross-species stock effects. The model is applied to the controversy about incentives produced by various taxes. The impacts of specific taxes are shown to depend on the composition of the forest stocks, growth rates, and joint cost effects. Therefore, specific taxes may create different incentives and impacts in Indonesia than in Brazil or Malaysia, for example, suggesting that no single uniform forest tax policy will be appropriate for all countries or all forests.

N2  - The Internet may reduce constraints on a farmer's ability to receive and manage information, regardless of where the farm is located or when the information is used. Using a count data estimation procedure, this study attempts to examine the key farm, operator, regional, and household characteristics that influence the number of Internet applications used by farm households. Findings indicate that educational level of the farm operator, farm size, farm diversification, off-farm income, off-farm investments, and regional location of the farm have a significant impact on the number of Internet applications used.

N2  - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires concentrated animal feeding operations to develop and implement a comprehensive nutrient management plan. Changes in manure management to meet nutrient application standards will generally increase production costs. Some of these costs can be offset by savings from replacing commercial fertilizer with manure nutrients, and through financial assistance programs such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). A manure application cost model was used to examine the costs to confined dairy farms of meeting nutrient application standards, and the ability of fertilizer offsets and EQIP to reduce these costs.

There has been a rich history of research analyzing USDA farm credit programs and the effects they have had on farmers, ranchers, and credit markets. This paper highlights past research and offers a view of the future direction of research on federal farm credit programs.

N2  - Agricultural economists have generally concluded that macroeconomic and tax policy matters regarding the financial wellbeing of U.S. farm operations. Farm operations react more quickly and with greater response to both anticipated and unanticipated macroeconomic policy changes than do the commercial business operations, sometimes resulting in overshooting in the agricultural economy. In the early 1980s, the Federal Reserve's disinflationary policy and large federal budget deficits had disproportionately large effects on real agricultural interest rates. This paper concludes with a presentation of numerous potential researchable issues regarding macroeconomic and tax policy's impact on farm financial well-being.

N2  - Producers and lenders seek to avoid agricultural production-related risks through various managerial and institutional mechanisms. For individual farmers and agribusinesses, risk management involves choosing among alternatives for reducing the effects of risk on the firm, thereby affecting the firm's welfare position. Risk management often requires the evaluation of tradeoffs between changes in risk, expected returns, entrepreneurial freedom, and other factors. Research on risk management issues in agriculture has been among the main topics of interest of the Regional Research Committee for Financing Agriculture in a Changing Environment: Macro, Market, Policy, and Management Issues, and its predecessors. This paper reviews and summarizes much of the Committee's work and provides a discussion of related topics of interest for prospective future research.

N2  - Findings from the 2000 US Census indicate high rates of Hispanic population increase beyond urban areas and traditional immigrant-receiving states. The diversity of new destinations raises questions about forces attracting migrants to rural areas and links between economic structural change and Hispanic population growth. Our conceptual framework applies dual labor market theory to the meat processing industry, a sector whose growing Hispanic labor force offers an illustrative case study for analyzing how labor demand influences demographic change. We document the industry's consolidation, concentration, increased demand for low-skilled labor, and changing labor force composition over three decades. We then position meat processing within a broader analysis that models nonmetropolitan county Hispanic population growth between 1980 and 2000 as a function of changes in industrial sector employment share and nonmetro county economic and demographic indicators. We find that growth in meat processing employment exhibits the largest positive coefficient increase in nonmetro Hispanic population growth over two decades and the largest impact of all sectors by 2000.

N2  - StarLink corn, a variety not approved for human use, disrupted the marketing system in 2000 because of inadvertent commingling. This paper provides an overview of the economics of testing grain for biotech content. What are the risks facing buyers and sellers, and how are these influenced by testing protocols? How do market premiums and discounts, testing costs, and prior beliefs affect the incentives to test? A conceptual model is developed in which sellers choose whether to pre-test grain prior to shipment. Through simulation analysis, we illustrate the impact of market premiums and other variables on testing incentives and buyer risk.

N2  - To remain viable, agriculture in each location must offer returns that are competitive with those from alternative investments and sufficient to cover producers' financial obligations. Economic theory says that rates of return converge over time as resources flow into more-profitable industries and out of less-profitable industries, causing factor price changes. Both traditional growth and trade theories say factor markets will adjust to equalize commodity returns over time. This study examines spatial relationships in agriculture's profitability over time. Results show temporal and spatial convergence of returns consistent with trade and development theories. However, there are profit patterns unique to state/regional agriculture, raising policy implications.

N2  - The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Act) introduced counter-cyclical payments (CCPs) to the array of income-support programs for agricultural commodities in the United States. CCPs are available for specified crops when market prices are below levels set forth in the legislation. As such, these payments can reduce price-related revenue risks faced by farmers, which may influence agricultural production decisions. Several mitigating factors, however, suggest that overall production effects of CCPs through revenue risk reduction are likely to be limited.

N2  - This paper presents a short-term forecasting model of monthly West Texas Intermediate crude oil spot prices using readily available OECD industrial petroleum inventory levels. The model provides good in-sample and out-of-sample dynamic forecasts for the post-Gulf War time period. In-sample and out-of-sample forecasts from the model are compared with those derived from other models. The model is intended for the practicing forecaster and designed to be simple enough to implement easily in a spreadsheet or other software package, with the variables easy to update. The simplicity and ease of updating make this model attractive for investigating various scenarios to see the impacts that market changes can have on monthly crude oil spot prices, if inventories, production, imports, or demand change. Finally, the model structure can easily be updated periodically should there be a fundamental market change or a shift in the normal level of inventories.

N2  - A farmer's decision to contract or produce independently depends on the distribution of income and the nonpecuniary attributes associated with both business arrangements. The benefits to growers from contracting (such as risk reduction) may be overestimated if the nonpecuniary benefits enjoyed by independent producers (such as the right to make management decisions and own the commodity produced) are not accounted for. This study uses data from a U.S. national survey of hog producers to estimate (1) the difference in expected net returns between contracting and independent production, (2) the premium a representative farmer would pay for the risk reduction provided by a contract, and (3) the premium a farmer would pay for the nonpecuniary benefits associated with independent production. Results indicate that growers have a strong preference for autonomy--with moderately risk-averse growers being willing to pay more for the attributes of independent production than they would for the risk-reducing benefits of a contract.

N2  - Spot to retail price pass-through behavior of the U.S. gasoline market was investigated at the national and regional levels, using weekly wholesale and retail motor gasoline prices from January 2000 to the present. Asymmetric pass-through was found across all regions, with faster pass-through when prices are rising. Pass-through patterns, in terms of speed and time for completion, were found to vary from region to region. Spatial aggregation was investigated at the national level and the East Coast with the aggregated cumulative pass-through being greater than the volume-weighted regional pass-through when spot prices increase. These results are useful to the petroleum industry, consumers, and policy makers by providing a basis to estimate the retail price effects that result from a change in spot price.

N2  - The U.S. agricultural sector is experiencing significant structural change. Farm size is rising and activities are broadening, including more off-farm employment, implying economic incentives for larger and more diversified farms, and complementarities among agricultural netputs. We quantify such patterns for farms in the corn belt, by measuring scale economies, and output and input contributions and jointness. We estimate the multi-output and -input production technology by stochastic frontier techniques applied to output and input distance functions. We find that both scope and scale economies have important economic performance implications, and that an input-oriented framework including off-farm income best characterizes agricultural production.

N2  - We extend existing stand-level models of forest landowner behavior in the presence of fire risk to include the level and timing of fuel management activities. These activities reduce losses if a stand ignites. Based on simulations, we find the standard result that fire risk reduces the optimal rotation age does not hold when landowners use fuel management. Instead, the optimal rotation age rises as fire risk increases. The optimal planting density decreases. The level of intermediate fuel treatment, but not its timing, is sensitive to the magnitude of fire risk. Cost-sharing is shown to be an effective instrument for encouraging fuel treatment.

N2  - To maintain a reputation or to meet contractual or regulatory requirements, firms choose different target levels of pathogen control for various meat and poultry products. Private strategies to control pathogens are diverse, and supply chain control is crucial. Public information and regulations strengthen private incentives for pathogen control.

N2  - This study examines spatial variation in the price and accessibility of fast food across a major urban area. We use novel data on the price of a representative fast-food meal and the location of fast-food restaurants belonging to one of three major chains in the District of Columbia and its surrounding suburbs. These data are used to test a structural model of spatial competition. The results of this study are easily interpreted and compared with a past analysis. We find that spatial differences in costs and demand conditions drive variation in the number of firms operating in a market, which in turn affects prices.

N2  - EPA's new restrictions on land application of manure nutrients by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) could decrease the net return of 6-17% of the medium and large dairy farms with lagoon systems in the southwestern United States. Many of the other dairy CAFOs in the region could achieve higher net income under the restrictions if they reduce feed costs by better utilizing manure and expanding homegrown feed production.

N2  - This paper uses microlevel data from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey to examine the changes in the distributions of household wealth and to assess the role farm subsidies play, among other factors, in affecting these distributions. The empirical analysis relies on the concept of the adjusted Gini coefficient and on fixed-effect regression procedures. Coefficients from fixed-effects estimation indicate a negative correlation between government payments and wealth dispersion, with the effect shifting toward more of a positive relation when government payments were allowed to interact with regional dummies.

AB  - The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and account for the bulk of plant biomass. The coordination between transcriptional regulation of synthesis for each polymer is complex and vital to cell function. A regulatory hierarchy of developmental switches has been proposed, although the full complement of regulators remains unknown. Here we present a protein-DNA network between Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors and secondary cell wall metabolic genes with gene expression regulated by a series of feed-forward loops. This model allowed us to develop and validate new hypotheses about secondary wall gene regulation under abiotic stress. Distinct stresses are able to perturb targeted genes to potentially promote functional adaptation. These interactions will serve as a foundation for understanding the regulation of a complex, integral plant component. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - A hybrid stated-preference model is presented that combines the referendum contingent valuation response format with an experimentally designed set of attributes. A sequence of valuation questions is asked to a random sample in a mail-out-mail-back format. Econometric analysis shows greater discrimination between alternatives in the final choice in the sequence, and the vector of preference parameters shifts. Lead and lag choice sets have a structural influence on current choices and unobserved factors induce positive correlation across the responses. These results indicate that people learn about their preferences for attribute-based environmental goods by comparing attribute levels across choice sets.

N2  - An alleged achievement of socialism was gender equality in the labour market. Has its collapse shattered this accomplishment? The theoretical literature and attendant empirical evidence are inconclusive. Using data for 2.9 million wage earners in Hungary, we find that the male-female difference in log wages declined from 0.31 to 0.19 between 1986 and 1998 and that this is largely explained by a matching decline in "Oaxaca's discrimination," suggesting extraordinary improvement of women's relative situation. Further, we find that variation over time in the wage gaps is associated with public and large firms having progressively smaller gaps than their counterparts.

N2  - The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) pays farmers about $2 billion per year to retire cropland under ten- to fifteen-year contracts. Recent research by Wu found that slippage--an unintended stimulus of new plantings--offsets some of CRP's environmental benefits. Wu does not account for the endogeneity of CRP enrollments. Furthermore, the data used by Wu cannot be used to estimate slippage arising from a price feedback effect. We replicate Wu's findings, demonstrate the possible presence of spurious correlation, and construct new estimates with corrections for endogeneity and other econometric problems. We find no convincing evidence of slippage.

N2  - This article uses a unique data set provided by the Census Bureau and a translog cost function to empirically examine technological change in the U.S. poultry industry. Results reveal substantial scale economies that show no evidence of diminishing with plant size and that are much greater than those realized in cattle and hog slaughter. Findings suggest that consolidation is likely to continue, particularly if demand growth diminishes, and that controlling for plant product mix is critical to accurate cost estimates.

N2  - This article reports tests of aggregation over consumer food products and estimates of aggregate food demand elasticities. Evidence that food demand variables follow unit root processes leads us to build on and simplify existing tests of the Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem. We compute food demand elasticities using a method of cointegration that is shown to apply to a convenient but nonlinear functional form. Estimates are based on consumer reported expenditure data rather than commercial disappearance data.

N2  - Private funding for agricultural research now exceeds that of the public sector. Other changes have included policies to make greater use of technology transfer mechanisms, such as patents and licensing and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs). A review of the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) suggests these mechanisms did not displace more traditional instruments, such as scientific publications, nor is there any evidence that their use shifted the ARS's research priorities. Although technologies transferred through these mechanisms tended to be of greater interest to private-sector partners than the ARS's research generally, in many cases transferred technologies had public goods attributes.

N2  - The plant variety protection (PVP) system has been criticized by some authors as being nothing more than a marketing tool and not having much effect on productivity. We investigate this issue for the case of cotton in the United States, first by examining trends in cotton varieties planted and then by quantifying the effect of PVP varieties on cotton yields. Our analysis suggests that PVP has led to the development of more varieties and that these varieties have had an overall positive impact of PVP on cotton yields.

N2  - A subset of patents owned by six large agricultural biotechnology companies is analyzed from the new Initiatives for Future Agriculture and Food Systems (IFAFS) Agricultural Biotechnology Intellectual Property database. These patents account for over 40% of US agricultural biotechnology patents issued 1976-2000 held by US and European firms. We describe the quantity, quality, and technological composition of these patent stocks, especially noting differences between these firms and their subsidiaries. Subsidiary firms contributed more patent stocks, although parent firms contributed better patents by one measure of patent quality. Patent stocks developed or acquired by these firms exhibited technological focus in one or more areas of agricultural biotechnology, and parent and subsidiary were not always focused on the same technological area.

N2  - Over the past 20 years, patenting in agricultural biotechnology has grown even faster than the rapid increase in US utility patents. Private firms, universities, and the federal government all increased patenting in agricultural biotechnology. Universities have increased patenting in agricultural biotechnology particularly rapidly, and they now hold a greater proportion of agricultural biotechnology patents than they do of patents in general. Private firms tend to dominate patenting in plant technologies and molecular level agricultural biotechnology. Differences in patterns of patent production suggest not only differences in agricultural biotechnology research investment but also differences in motivations for patenting.

N2  - Standard economic intuition of revealed preference implies that when two parties freely enter into a contract then neither should be worse off. In this study, we develop a simple model showing that introducing the opportunity to contract can lower welfare for some, and perhaps all, contracting parties. We consider a situation where processors can obtain inputs from suppliers (farmers) using either a spot market or contractual arrangements, and where spot market transaction costs depends on the volume of trade in the spot market. We show that contracting parties may lose when more contracting results in higher transaction costs for spot market participants. At the margin, firms and input suppliers gain from signing contracts. However, contracting raises spot-market transaction costs for those who do not sign contracts, which provides a greater incentive for others to sign contracts, ultimately inducing more contracting than optimal. The model demonstrates why structural or organizational change may be rapid and why the private minimization of transaction costs may not lead to optimal institutional arrangements.

N2  - Negotiations over the rules governing the use of antidumping (AD) duties are occurring in both the World Trade Organization and the Free Trade Area of the Americas. Unfortunately, the goal of the negotiations is unclear, as some governments want to restrict the use of antidumping while others seek to maintain the ability of national governments to use antidumping measures. We hypothesize that members who desire to preserve the use of antidumping are active in initiating suits. To explore this hypothesis, we examine the positions taken by major actors in the negotiations, and their antidumping profiles. An antidumping profile includes data on a member's AD actions, including investigations and measures the member initiates, as well as investigations and measures against the member's exports.

N2  - Tests of convergent validity and procedural invariance were used to investigate whether individuals lacking direct experience with a commodity can provide valid responses to contingent-valuation questions eliciting ex post use values. Convergent validity between samples with and without experience was shown to hold for dichotomous-choice responses, but not for open-ended responses.

N2  - Poverty profiles are a useful way of summarizing information on the levels of poverty and the characteristics of the poor in a society, but they are limited by the bivariate nature of their informational content. Using the 1997 Egypt Integrated Household Survey (EIHS), this article estimates models of household consumption in the first stage and then predicts poverty rates corresponding to changes in potential policy variables. The key results of the study point to the important instrumental role of education, parental background, land redistribution, and access to health facilities in alleviating poverty in Egypt.

Schauer and others, an approach in the improvement quality traits was given due importance through a strategy known as metabolic genomics. Modification of crop breeding strategies and better understanding of the basic plant biology underlying significant fruit quality traits would likely be the result of their study.

AB  - Purpose: The Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement was developed to measure the frequency of food insecurity.
AB  - Description: The Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement (CPS-FSS; Nord, Andrews, & Winicki, 2002) measures the frequency of food insecurity. Supplementary data on the frequency of occurrence of the behaviors and experiences comprising the food security scale are also collected. The CPS is a monthly survey of households which serves as the primary source of information on the labor force characteristics of the US population. Supplemental questions are added to the regular CPS questionnaire from time to time to produce estimates on a variety of topics. The CPS-FSS obtains information on the food spending, food program participation, and food security information. The federal food security scale is calculated from 18 items based on a set of questions about 15 experiences and behaviors that are known to typify households having difficulty meeting their food needs. The questions can be grouped into two categories based on the question format and how they elicit information about the frequency and duration of the condition. Type 1 questions (e.g., '(I/we) couldn’t afford to eat balanced meals') present the respondent with a statement and ask whether, for his/her household, it was often, sometimes, or never true during the last 12 months. Type 2 questions (e.g., Did you lose weight because you didn’t have enough money for food?) ask whether a particular experience or behavior occurred during the previous 12 months. The federal food security scale uses only a subset of the information from this set of questions. Responses are dichotomous (e.g., Yes/No) and multiple-choice (e.g., Often, Sometimes, Never). Psychometric information was not available at the time of test development. (PsycTESTS Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - As part of 1996 legislation, the U.S. began paying farmers production flexibility contract payments designed to be somewhat "decoupled" from current production decisions. In the labor-leisure model, decoupled payments would be expected to only have a wealth effect, but coupled payments would be expected to have both a substitution and a wealth effect. In this paper, the impacts of the decoupled payments and other government payments on both farm and off-farm labor allocations for farm operators are considered using data from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). Results indicate that government payments tend to increase the hours operators work on their farm and decrease the hours they work off the farm. This is true whether the payments come from programs which tie payments to current year production, or not.

N2  - This study examines the return on agricultural assets relative to nonfinancial corporate assets in the general economy using aggregate Bureau of Economic Analysis data. Our results indicate that the rate of return on nonfarm assets dominates the rate of return on agricultural assets. The average rate of return on nonfarm assets is higher than the average rate of return on farm assets, and the variance of the rate of return on nonfarm assets is lower than the variance of the rate of return on farm assets. Furthermore, the rate of return on agricultural assets only exceeds the rate of return in the nonfarm sector in 1992.

N2  - Between the 1970s and the 1990s, processed food exports switched from using more skilled labor per unit of output than imports to the opposite. Processed food trade also expanded during this period. More meat and poultry products in processed food trade could explain this switch in skill intensity. Growing meat trade paralleled an urban-to-rural shift in meat processing. While this could have been a win-win situation for rural areas, many of the jobs related to expanded meat trade benefited commuter and migrant workers because late-1990s jobs slaughtering livestock and processing meat did not appeal to domestic rural workers.

N2  - This paper examines the linkages among agricultural total factor productivity, farm size, and farm household participation in the off-farm labor market for the Southeastern states for the period 1960-1996. We find evidence of a simultaneous relationship between productivity and measures of farm structure. The results support the expected relationships between the endogenous variables, namely that productivity and farm size are positively related, farm size and off-farm work participation are negatively related, and off-farm work and productivity are negatively related. We find positive and significant impacts of government policies (investments in public research, extension, and highways) on productivity growth.

N2  - Hog farmers' preferences for autonomy are assessed through the use of eight questions dealing with their preferences for general decision making and with respect to specific management actions. Farmers generally preferred to make a higher percentage of the decisions on their operations, especially older producers and those who operated farrowing units. Farmers who placed lower values on autonomy finished hogs, were nearing retirement, valued social relationships with other farmers more highly, had higher off-farm income, or were larger farmers.

N2  - Technical regulations are increasingly visible in agricultural trade, yet their idiosyncratic nature has limited prior aggregate analysis. This research draws upon a unique data source for systematic enumeration of the technical regulations questioned by one exporter among all of its trading partners in mid-1996. Political economy analysis indicates that barriers decrease when the relative contribution of agriculture to an economy increases, when the anticipated future level of protection through other forms of government intervention increases, and when economies are more open. Despite increased scrutiny and discipline by the World Trade Organization, technical barriers remain a significant impediment in world agricultural markets.

N2  - West and Central Africa (WCA)'s cotton sector is experiencing rising production costs and lower yields, reversing decades of growth. Declining input use, soil fertility and inefficient chemical pest controls are contributing factors. We evaluate the potential impact of Bt cotton on WCA using a multiregion general equilibrium model and multicountry estimates of Bt-induced productivity. We find that Bt cotton raises growers' returns, land value and welfare. Released labor from cotton is shifted to food crops hence reducing labor shortage constraints. Overall, results indicate that potential gross benefits from Bt cotton are substantial for WCA cotton sector, and that the economic costs of nonadoption are equally significant.

N2  - Data from a national survey representative of U.S. dairy operations were used to assess adoption and the production and financial impacts of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST). Adoption rates of rbST varied significantly across the nation, but were higher among larger diary operations in all regions. However, the scale bias of rbST adoption was substantially diminished when the influence of location and the use of related technologies were measured. An increase in milk production per cow was associated with rbST adoption, but estimated financial impacts were not statistically significant due to substantial variation in the net returns of rbST adopters.

N2  - The Environmental Protection Agency requires concentrated animal feeding operations to develop and implement a comprehensive nutrient management plan. Changes in manure management to meet nutrient application standards will increase production costs. Some of these costs can be offset by savings from replacing commercial fertilizer with manure nutrients, and through financial assistance programs such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). A manure application cost model was used to examine the costs to confined hog farms of meeting nutrient application standards, and the ability of fertilizer offsets and EQIP to reduce these costs.

N2  - This paper provides a farm sector comparison of levels of capital input for 17 OECD countries. The estimates of capital input are derived by representing capital stock as a weighted sum of past investments. The weights correspond to the relative efficiencies of capital goods of different ages, so that the weighted components of capital stock have the same efficiency. We convert estimates of capital stock into estimates of capital services by means of capital rental prices. Comparisons of levels of capital input among countries require data on relative prices of capital input. We obtain relative price levels for capital input among countries via relative investment goods prices, taking into account the flow of capital input per unit of capital stock in each country.

N2  - The structural transformation of agriculture in recent decades has raised serious concerns about the future of the family farm. This study examines the economic performance of U.S. farms, to explore the potential of smaller farms to compete with larger entities, and ultimately to survive in this rapidly changing environment. We use deterministic and stochastic frontier methods and survey data to measure and evaluate factors underlying scale economies (SEC) and efficiency (SEF) of corn-belt farms for 1996-2001. Our results suggest that family farms are both scale and technically inefficient. Potential for the exploitation of significant scale and scope economies, and some greater technical efficiency, seem to be driving trends toward increased farm size and dwindling competitiveness of the small family farm.

N2  - A residential lawn care survey was conducted as part of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a Long-term Ecological Research project funded by the National Science foundation and collaborating agencies, to estimate the nitrogen input to urban watersheds from lawn care practices. The variability in the fertilizer N application rates and the factors affecting the application rates were examined. Results indicated that the annual input of nitrogen from fertilizer is a major component of the urban watershed nitrogen budget and it is both spatially and temporally variable. There is a wide range in the application rate of fertilizer N to residential lawns applied by homeowners and by professional lawn care companies. Survey data estimated a mean fertilizer application rate of 97.6 kg N/ha/yr with a standard deviation of 88.3 kg N/ha/yr. Analyses suggested that the fertilizer application rate is affected by social economic factors and soil characteristics to include the market value of the house, age of development, soil bulk density and soil nitrogen content.

N2  - In this paper, we present the outlook for worldwide energy markets. The International Energy Outlook 2004 (IEO2004) is the latest edition of the Energy Information Administration's mid-term assessment of world energy markets through 2025. In this year's report, world energy use is expected to increase by 54 percent according to the reference case projection. Gross domestic product is a major driver of the forecast, but it is also a major source of uncertainty, so we present our high- and low-economic growth case results to quantify this uncertainty. The strongest growth in energy use is projected for the nations of the developing world, particularly developing Asia, where robust economic growth accompanies the energy consumption increase. The IEO2004 expects that much of the energy demand growth over the next two decades will be met with fossil fuels and that there are sufficient fossil-fuel resources to meet energy demand through 2025. Oil is expected to be the dominant primary energy source over the next 20 years, in large part because of rising transportation energy usage, where there are few economically competitive alternatives to oil today. The paper also provides forecasts for natural gas--the fastest growing source of primary energy--and for coal. We present the forecast for world electricity demand and discuss the energy sources used for future electricity generation. The paper ends with a look at carbon dioxide emissions that would result from the forecasts for fossil-fuel use in the reference case.

N2  - With the official designation of micropolitan areas in June 2003, as part of the new core-based statistical area system, non-metropolitan territory is no longer an undifferentiated residual. In this paper we compare the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of a preliminary set of micropolitan areas with more highly urbanized territory and with territory outside core-based statistical areas, to answer questions about the micropolitan category's conceptual validity. Demographic and economic data are used, along with a mail survey of county officials in a random sample of small metropolitan, micropolitan, and non-core-based statistical areas (non-CBSAs). The analysis shows substantial differentiation between micropolitan and non-CBSA areas, and demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between these two types of non-metropolitan areas. As an intermediate category, micropolitan areas provide stability to the decade-to-decade swings in non-metropolitan population change during periods of higher out-migration, but share almost equally with non-CBSA areas in attracting migrants during periods of high non-metropolitan in-migration. In terms of services available and their function as urban centers, micropolitan areas are intermediate between small metropolitan and non-CBSA areas, but more similar to small metropolitan areas.

N2  - This study examines the impact of multiple quasi-fixed assets on the imputed returns to farmland. The results indicate that the presence of additional quasi-fixed assets causes the true shadow value of farmland to deviate from its imputed value. The results also indicate that when the potential existence of multiple quasi-fixed assets is explicitly modelled, the shadow value of farmland approaches reported cash rental values.

N2  - The discharge of manure nutrients into area waters from confined animal feeding operations is considered a leading contributor to U.S. water quality impairments. An option to mitigate these impairments is to constrain land application of manure. When these constraints are particularly binding, due to minimal acceptance of manure as a substitute for commercial fertilizer, potentially large and unanticipated changes in returns to agricultural production and water quality may occur. Moreover, some of the cost of meeting the constraints is passed on to consumers through higher prices and to a portion of rural economies through lower production rates and labor expenditures.

N2  - Why does the firm look the way it does? Why does it have the structures it has? In particular, what is the function of the board of directors? Many papers have tried, and failed, to link the board's structure to the performance of the firm. Might the board have an alternative rationale for existence? In this paper, I explore the possibility of the board being used as a signaling device. The management, having information about the state of the world the investor does not, constructs a signal (the board of directors) to promote efficiency in an uncertain world. The construction of the board signals the state of the world to the investor, reducing the uncertainty, and thereby attracting necessary capital to the firm. I then examine the size of the signal with respect to other key firm characteristics. I find that the size of the signal diminishes as investors become more concentrated.

N2  - Different harvest timing models make different assumptions about timber price behavior. Those seeking to optimize harvest timing are thus first faced with a decision regarding which assumption of price behavior is appropriate for their market, particularly regarding the presence of a unit root in the timber price time series. Unfortunately for landowners and investors, the literature provides conflicting guidance on this subject. One source for the ambiguous results of unit root tests of timber prices may involve data problems. We used Monte Carlo simulations to show that aggregating observations below their observed rate resulted in similar power reductions and empirical size distortions across three classes of unit root tests. Moving-average error structures can also affect power and sizes of tests on period-averaged data. Such error structures can also be created by the kind of temporal averaging common in reported timber prices. If we take timber prices at their face value and therefore ignore these sampling error and temporal aggregation complications, we find that unit root tests on southern timber prices support a unit root in 158 out of 208 product-deflation combinations tested, random walks in 38 of the series found to be nonstationary, and stationarity in none. However, if we recognize temporal aggregation errors, unit root tests more commonly favor stationarity, especially for pulpwood stumpage. Because price trends for sawtimber and pulpwood products may behave differently even in the same region, stochastic harvest timing models must be developed that allow their multiple products to follow different price paths.

N2  - Household beverage consumption is investigated using data from the National Food Stamp Program Survey conducted in the United States. A censored Translog demand system is estimated with the full-information maximum-likelihood procedure. All own-price effects are negative and significant, and whole milk, reduced-fat milk, juice, coffee, and tea are found to be net substitutes for soft drink. Thus, prices provide a partial answer to the declining consumption of milk and rising consumption of soft drink. Nutrition information and dietary beliefs also play important roles, highlighting the importance of an effective nutrition education program directed toward the low-income households.

N2  - This paper examines transmission between changes in (a) world trade prices for meat and Russian exchange rates and (b) Russian consumer meat prices. We find that for both trade prices and the exchange rate, the transmission is low. This indicates that Russia's integration into world meat markets is poor. The economic cost to Russia of poor transmission is that at any point in time, the country is not at its optimal volumes and mix of agricultural trade that would maximise the gains from trade. The transmission estimates are therefore important for forecasting Russian agricultural production and trade.

N2  - Previous work on structural change in agriculture has failed to distinguish long-run trends from structural breaks leading to new trends. We measure structural changes as statistically significant breaks in either stochastic or deterministic time trends, and apply these measures to agricultural productivity and research. Productivity has a break in 1925 accompanying agriculture's early experience with the Great Depression. Research trends shifted in 1930 as the Depression and new technology began to strongly influence efficient farm size and capitalization. After modeling lags between research and productivity impacts in a vector autoregression (VAR), we compare our results to earlier work by developing a procedure to estimate the rate of return to research from the impulse response function of the VAR.

N2  - We use a regulatory model with resistance evolution in two pests to insecticidal Bt cotton and pyrethroids (a conventional insecticide) to examine non-Bt cotton (refuge) planting requirements designed to manage Bt-resistance evolution in the midsouth. Our analysis suggests that reduced refuge requirements would enhance producer profitability, sprayed refugia are more cost effective than unsprayed refugia, and producers would receive slightly higher returns under dynamic relative to static refuge policies. Pyrethroid susceptibility in one of the pests was a renewable resource, and toxin-mixture effects associated with pyrethroid use in Bt cotton were important considerations for midsouth refuge policies.

N2  - The operations of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB), a state trading enterprise, have generated controversy over the years, partly because of an alleged lack of transparency in its operations. This study examines one aspect of operations that is not well understood--the government guarantee of CWB borrowings and export credit sales. This special privilege allows the CWB to generate a "financial cushion", or non-market based revenue, that it can use to enhance returns to producers, discount export prices, or pay administrative expenses. Although recent WTO dispute settlement decisions concluded the CWB does not act inconsistently with some WTO rules, the July 31, 2004 WTO Doha Round framework agreement addresses these potential trade-distorting practices of the CWB.

N2  - The need for genetic improvements of American potato was recognized as a primary target for plant genetic engineering. As immediate needs, virus and insect resistance were recognized as important and attainable goals. Russet Burbank was selected as the recipient variety, because it is highly vulnerable to virus and insect production losses, and it is the predominant American variety. The development of resistance to the Colorado potato beetle and to potato leafroll virus were selected as priority goals, because these are the most economically important pests of potato in the United States and around the world. This article describes potato research and the struggles to develop commercial products, as well as the safety, initial acceptance, and final commercial failure of developed products. Opportunities for developing countries and subsistence farmers are emphasized.

N2  - To assess and monitor the dietary status of Americans, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion developed the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). The HEI consists of 10 components, each representing a different aspect of a healthful diet. This article presents the most recent HEI for people 2 years old and over and subgroups of the population. Data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey are used. Ten percent of the population had a good diet, 16 percent had a poor diet, and the remainder had a diet that needs improvement. Americans need especially to improve their consumption of fruit and milk products. Males age 15 to 18, non-Hispanic Blacks, low-income groups, and those with a high school diploma or less education had lower quality diets. The diets of Americans have not changed since 1996, but they have improved since 1989.

N2  - This paper reports on developments in theoretical and empirical understanding of the macroeconomic consequences of oil price shocks since 1996, when the U.S. Department of Energy sponsored a workshop summarizing the state of understanding of the subject. Four major insights stand out. First, theoretical and empirical analyses point to intra- and intersectoral reallocations in response to shocks, generating asymmetric impacts for oil price increases and decreases. Second, the division of responsibility for post-oil-price shock recessions between monetary policy and oil price shocks, has leaned heavily toward oil price shocks. Third, parametric statistical techniques have identified a stable, nonlinear, relationship between oil price shocks and GDP from the late 1940s through the third quarter of 2001. Fourth, the magnitude of effect of an oil price shock on GDP, derived from impulse response functions of oil price shocks in the GDP equation of a VAR, is around -0.05 and -0.06 as an elasticity, spread over two years, where the shock threshold is a price change exceeding a three-year high.

N2  - The portion of the South known as the "Black Belt" lies at the heart of what was once the cotton-and-tobacco plantation region and retains a large black population. Despite the Black Belt's high poverty rates and relatively slow economic growth, its large net loss of blacks to urban areas over the course of the twentieth century has effectively ended and more are now returning. Rural southern blacks still face a low-wage economy and their prospects are conditioned by a legacy of both southern agricultural paternalism and, due to interregional migration, inner-city decline. A number of writers have noted the importance of familial and community ties for returnees and express cautious optimism about their abilities to further erode the region's old social and economic barriers. More generally, anti-poverty strategies in the Black Belt, public and private, will be successful only insofar as they are sensitive to the social exclusion that continues to restrict the full participation of blacks in rural southern labor markets and civil society.

N2  - The value of an innovative seed technology is estimated in a discrete stochastic programming framework for a representative farm in the northern Corn Belt. Temperature-activated polymer-coated seed has the potential to increase net returns by increasing yields due to early planting and use of longer season varieties, and reducing yield loss due to delayed planting. A biophysical simulation model was used to estimate the impact of polymer-coated seed on corn and soybean yields and on field day availability for five planting periods, three crop varieties and two tillage systems on two different soils under varying weather conditions.

N2  - The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Energy, has been promoting the development and emergence of viable domestic renewable energy and energy efficiency industries through numerous administrations. This Article discusses the types of legal instruments used by the federal government to provide incentives and assistance to aid in the development of green technologies that are targeted for potential commercialization in the future energy marketplace. The relative merits of those respective instruments and the need for Congress to set out green energy priorities in comprehensive energy policy legislation in the near future are discussed.

N2  - This article presents an approach for simultaneously estimating farmers' decisions to accept incentive payments in return for adopting a bundle of environmentally benign best management practices. Using the results of a multinomial probit analysis of surveys of over 1,000 farmers facing five adoption decisions in a voluntary program, we show how the farmers' perceptions of the desirability of various bundles change with the offer amounts and with which practices are offered in the bundle. We also demonstrate an estimator for the mean minimum willingness to accept for the adoption of a practice conditional on the cost share offers for other practices.

N2  - At livestock auctions, the same purchasing agent can represent more than one processor. Repeated multiple-unit English auctions are created in a laboratory to measure the impact of shared agents on trade prices under alternative treatments with six, and as few as two, agents representing six principals. Treatments are constructed in which the agents either know or do not know quantity for sale, and in which there are progressively fewer agents bidding. Knowledge of quantity for sale can be anticompetitive. Evolution toward increased market concentration leads to consistent anticompetitive pricing, resulting in prices significantly lower than the predicted competitive equilibrium prices.

N1  - Accession Number: 0672808; Keywords: Poor;  Well Being; Geographic Descriptors: U.S.; Geographic Region: Northern America; Publication Type: Journal Article; Update Code: 200401
N2  - Using Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices, this paper shows that although the incidence of poverty was higher in nonmetropolitan than metropolitan areas throughout the 1990s, the poverty-gap index was only statistically significantly higher in nonmetropolitan areas in six of the 10 years, and the squared poverty-gap index was worse in only three years. This paper also provides design-corrected standard errors for the indices, which result in more than doubling the uncorrected estimates. An examination of the ratio of the poverty-gap to the head count index establishes that the average shortfall of the poor as a fraction of the poverty line was worse in the metropolitan areas during all 10 years of the 1990s. Similarly, the distribution of income divided by the poverty line indicates that disproportionately more of the nonmetropolitan poor subsisted on incomes near the poverty line, whereas the metropolitan poor were relatively more likely to be living in extreme poverty.

N2  - This article analyzes why the USDA's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) experiences contract withdrawals. Among approved contracts, 17% withdrew one or more conservation practices. After presenting a model of producers' behavior, a logit model is used to examine the withdrawal phenomenon. Withdrawals are linked to producers having an incentive to include low cost-share payments and practices in the conservation plan that increase the probability of approval, but may not be profitable. These results are discussed in light of the changes to EQIP that have been introduced by the 2002 Farm Act.

N2  - Since its inception in 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system has received over 250 notifications of trade disputes. While most have been settled, in a few cases the WTO arbitrators had to approve damage awards. This paper will use one of these cases (Hormones) to explain the methodology arbitrators use to calculate damages and how this methodology differs from an efficiency-based measure of welfare that economists would instinctively provide. Yet, there are rational reasons for this difference and the arbitrator's methodology does a better job of providing incentives for countries not to violate trade agreements.

N2  - This paper examines the preservation of farmland through purchasable development rights. In a comparison of the estimated costs and benefits associated with the development of open space from 1982 to 1992, we show that these programs may provide a net benefit to society. An econometric model is employed to address the question of what factors explain both the creation of these programs and the magnitude of farmland preservation. Elasticity measures derived from the model indicate that a wide range of ecological and sociological variables are important in explaining the activity in purchasable development rights programs.

N2  - Efforts to improve public agricultural research efficiency include calls to increase use of competitive grants. This paper empirically assesses different instruments the USDA uses to fund state-level research. Compared with other instruments, competitive grants focus more on basic research and are concentrated among fewer states. Model results suggest that top-ranked biology and agricultural science programs were strong determinants of states' shares of competitive grants. Other significant factors were agricultural sector size and number of agricultural scientists. USDA-funded state-level research focus did not change significantly because competitive grants comprised only 15% of these funds and other instruments counteracted their influence.

N2  - StarLink disrupted the U.S. corn market during the 2000/01 marketing year as a result of inadvertent commingling. The potential, upper-bound volume of marketed StarLink-commingled corn from the 2000 crop located near wet and dry millers prior to October 1, 2000, is estimated at 124 million bushels. The percentage of corn shipments that tested positive mostly ranged from 5 to 10%, varying by mode of transportation. Price differentials between StarLink-commingled and StarLink-free corn commonly ranged between 7 and 12 cents per bushel during the early stage of the incident. These differentials eroded quickly due largely to Aventis' compensation of additional transportation costs when StarLink-commingled shipments had to be rerouted to approved uses. While StarLink had a negative impact on U.S. corn exports, most of the reductions in exports to Japan and South Korea during the period from November 2000 through March 2002 were due to increased competition from rival exporters.

N2  - The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998 (OSRA) promotes changes in international ocean liner shipping. An important policy issue attendant to the passage of OSRA is the Act's likely impact on the international competitiveness of the sectors that depend upon ocean shipping. Thus, to establish how freight rates and other logistical costs of using ocean liner services are now determined, this study examines emerging methods of organization and contracting among exporters of food and forest products. We find that, although many shippers negotiate private contracts with carriers, many others utilize a third-party agent to negotiate a rate with a carrier on their behalf. This article also identifies differences between two key types of third-party agents. Finally, given that a shipper in this trade does not contract directly with a carrier, this article explains the shipper's conditional choice about which type of agent to use.

N2  - Evidence of research impacts is often requested, but there have been relatively few quantitative evaluations of social science research, including agricultural economics research (AER). The output of AER is difficult to measure, is aimed at diverse objectives, and is often imbedded in recommendations, institutional changes, or quantitative methods. Causality between AER and specific decisions or institutional changes is difficult to establish because the research information is just one of many inputs into what is often a political process. This paper presents a political economic model for assessing the theoretical impacts of international AER, followed by a Bayesian Decision Theory model to empirically assess AER. The latter is modified to address the issue that AER is only one input in the decision making process. Results demonstrate that the value of AER may rise or fall in the presence of lobbying. If the research provides ammunition for decision-makers to oppose lobbyists and make a choice closer to the one that would maximize societal welfare, then the value of the research may rise after lobbying. The theoretical model illustrates that incentives to lobby for trade subsidies and the value of AER depend on the degree of cross-country ownership in firms in competing countries, but that several potential equilibria exist that depend on, among other factors, how profits in the firms are distributed.

N2  - The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion has revised the Low-Cost, Moderate-Cost, and Liberal Food Plans--three fundamental components of the U.S. food guidance system. These plans provide representative healthful market baskets at three cost levels. This revision of the plans incorporates recent developments in nutrition standards and dietary guidance, as well as updates that reflect food consumption patterns of Americans and the nutrient content of foods. This revision also maintains a constant real cost for each plan.

N2  - Evaluations of dietary trends can show whether food habits are changing in recommended directions. Trends in intakes among adolescents age 12 to 19 years were examined by using data from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) 1994-96, the CSFII 1989-91, and the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey 1977-78. Increases were seen in intakes of soft drinks, grain mixtures, crackers/popcorn/pretzels/corn chips, fried potatoes, noncitrus juices/ nectars, lowfat milk, skim milk, cheese, candy, and fruit drinks/ades. Decreases in intake were observed in whole milk and total milk, yeast breads/rolls, green beans, corn/green peas/lima beans, beef, and pork. Lower percentages of calories from fat were partly due to increased carbohydrate intakes. Adolescents had increases in thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, and iron and decreases in vitamin B12. Servings per day from the food groups of the Food Guide Pyramid were used to discuss diet quality in the most recent survey. For any given Pyramid group, less than one-half of the adolescents consumed the recommended number of servings, and their intakes of discretionary fat and added sugars were much higher than recommended. Diets of adolescents still need to change in directions indicated by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, including increases in intakes of whole grains, fruits, dark-green and deep-yellow vegetables, legumes, nonfat or lowfat dairy products, and lean meats. Additionally, increases in physical activity should be encouraged, as well as decreases in fats and added sugars. Effective nutrition education efforts for adolescents should be supported at every level.

N2  - The likelihood of adopting corn rootworm (CRW) Bt seed technology was analyzed using an ordered logit model. Data used to estimate the model came from United States Department of Agriculture's 2001 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Statistically significant variables include operator age, farm type, farm size, rootworm loss and current treatment for rootworm, off farm labor, and Bt technology for corn borer. The likelihood of adoption did not appear to be related to crop rotation, tillage system, new variant CRW region, or education.

N2  - In this paper, we propose a dynamic error-components model to represent the unobserved level of technology. This specification implies a well-defined common factor dynamic model for per capita output that can be tested explicitly. The model is applied to data on aggregates of agricultural inputs and outputs for groups of countries from the OECD, Africa (AF), Latin America (LA) as well as centrally planned countries, over a period of 31 years. We find that the proposed model fits the data better than alternative static specifications and satisfies the implied common factor restrictions in two of the samples. The results suggest that although technological change seems to have been a faster process for less developed countries relative to the OECD countries, it has not been fast enough to reduce appreciably the enormous differences in average technological levels that still persist between them.

AB  - AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT Abstract: Agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa is a low-input low-output system primarily for subsistence. Some of these areas are becoming less able to feed the people because of land degradation and erosion. The aim of this study is to characterize the potential for increasing levels of soil carbon for improving soil quality and carbon sequestration. A combination of high- and low-resolution imagery was used to develop a land use classification for an area of 64 km2 near Omarobougou, Mali. Field sizes were generally small (10-50 ha), and the primary cultivation systems are conventional tillage and ridge tillage, where tillage is performed by a combination of hand tools and animal-drawn plows. Based on land use classification, climate variables, soil texture, in situ soil carbon concentrations, and crop growth characteristics, the EPIC-Century model was used to project the amounts of soil carbon sequestered for the region. Under the usual management practices in Mali, mean crop yield reported (1985-2000) for maize is 1.53 T ha?1, cotton is 1.2 T ha?1, millet is 0.95 T ha?1, and for sorghum is 0.95 T ha?1. Year-to-year variations can be attributed to primarily rainfall, the amount of plant available water, and the amount of fertilizer applied. Under continuous conventional cultivation, with minimal fertilization and no residue management, the soil top layer was continuously lost due to erosion, losing between 1.1 and 1.7 Mg C ha?1 over 25 years. The model projections suggest that soil erosion is controlled and that soil carbon sequestration is enhanced with a ridge tillage system, because of increased water infiltration. The combination of modeling with the land use classification was used to calculate that about 54 kg C ha?1 year?1 may be sequestered for the study area with ridge tillage, increased application of fertilizers, and residue management. This is about one-third the proposed rate used in large-scale estimates of carbon sequestration potential in West Africa, because of the mixture of land use practices

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: Juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed nutritionally complete, practical basal diets supplemented with bovine lactoferrin (Lf) at 0, 200, 400, 800 or 1600 mg/kg diet to apparent satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. After the feeding trial, the effect of dietary Lf on growth performance, immune function, and resistance to Streptococcus iniae challenge and low-water stress was determined. Dietary Lf did not affect growth performance (weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency ratio, or survival) or haematological parameters (haemoglobin, white and red blood cell counts, or haematocrit) (P>0.05). Crowding stress produced significant increases in plasma cortisol, glucose, lactate, and osmolality from baseline values (P=<0.001), but dietary Lf did not affect plasma glucose, osmolality, or cortisol concentrations (P>0.05). The level of Lf in diet had a significant impact on survival following S. iniae challenge with fish fed the 800 mg/kg Lf diet having significantly higher survival than control fish (P=<0.05). There was not a corresponding increase in activity of non-specific or specific immune parameters (plasma lysozyme and spontaneous haemolytic complement activities or agglutination antibody titer against S. iniae) with addition of Lf to diets (P>0.05), but plasma iron decreased and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) increased significantly with increasing concentration of lf in diet (P=<0.05). The ability of Lf to sequester iron, an essential nutrient required for the growth of bacteria, is regarded as one of its key antibacterial properties. The increased survival with increasing dietary concentration of Lf seemed to correspond with a decrease in plasma iron concentration and not enhancement of non-specific or specific immune functions

AB  - This article discusses identification of insect damaged wheat kernels using transmittance images. Infested wheat kernels cause loss of quality in wheat products. They cause a lot more damage if they are put into storage with other kernels. It is important to be able to identify insect damaged kernels to reach proper decisions about them. The colour histogram of pixel intensities is first estimated for each kernel image. Then the colour histogram based feature vector is used in a number of different algorithms, namely the linear model, quadratic model, K-nearest neighbour, linear model with weight decay and radial basic function network for classification.

N2  - Six mixed-breed dogs were trained to detect 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in laboratory-prepared water. The three dogs most responsive to training were selected for further testing to measure their ability to detect these compounds at levels typical of the early stages of an 'off-flavour' event in catfish pond culture. The dogs were given one out of five choices of off-flavour and 'on-flavour' water samples and were trained to sit at boxes containing off-flavour sample tubes. At the lowest concentration tested, 10 ng L-1 of the target compound, the mean correct responses for the three dogs were 37%, 43% and 67%. Additional testing was conducted using off-flavour pond water samples containing known amounts of these two compounds that occurred naturally. Correct responses for off-flavour samples varied from 30% to 95%, depending on the sample and the dog. On-flavour samples were correctly identified with 96% accuracy for all dogs and all samples. Dogs may provide practical early detection of off-flavour problems in catfish ponds.

N2  - Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) and coyotes (Canis latrans) are sympatric canids distributed throughout many regions of the Great Plains of North America. The prevalence of canid diseases among these two species where they occur sympatrically is presently unknown. From January 1997 to January 2001, we collected blood samples from 89 swift foxes and 122 coyotes on the US Army Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, Las Animas County, SE Colorado (USA). Seroprevalence of antibodies against canine parvovirus (CPV) was 71% for adult (&gt;9 mo old) and 38% for juvenile (≤9 mo old) swift foxes. Adult (≥1 yr old) and juvenile (&lt;1 yr old) coyotes had a seroprevalence for CPV of 96% and 78%, respectively. Presence of antibodies against canine distemper virus (CDV) was 5% for adult foxes and 0% for juvenile foxes. Seroprevalence of CDV was 46% for adult coyotes and 18% for juvenile coyotes. No swift foxes had canine adenovirus (CAV) antibodies, whereas 81% and 63% of adult and juvenile coyotes, respectively, had antibodies for CAV. Seroprevalence of antibodies against Yersinia pestis was 68% among adult foxes and 34% among juvenile swift foxes. Seroprevalence of Y. pestis antibodies was 90% and 70% for adult and juvenile coyotes, respectively. No swift foxes had antibodies against Francisella tularensis, whereas seroprevalence was 4% among both adult and juvenile coyotes. Antibodies against CPV and plague were common in both species, whereas antibodies against CDV and CAV were more prevalent in coyotes compared to swift foxes.

N2  - The need for better control of food-borne pathogens has been of paramount importance in recent years. Heat inactivation of food-borne pathogens is one of the fundamentally important strategies to assure microbiological safety of thermally processed foods. Accordingly, research was conducted to define the heat treatment required to achieve a specified lethality for 4 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and 35 strains of Salmonella spp. in chicken broth, as well as in ground beef, chicken, pork, turkey and lamb. The D-values of E. coli O157:H7 in 90% lean ground beef ranged from 21.13 min at 55°C to 0.39 min at 65°C; these values were consistently less at all temperatures in ground chicken, turkey, lamb and pork. The D-values in chicken broth at 55°C ranged from 5.86 min for S. copenhagen 8457 (pork isolate) to 3.77 min for S. hadar MF60404 (Turkey isolate); the D-values at 62°C were 0.40 and 0.32 min, respectively. The D-values of a mixture of 8 Salmonella strains from meat and poultry that exhibited the highest heat resistance were 4.87, 2.72, 1.61 and 0.41 min at 55, 58, 60 and 62°C, respectively. No correlation between the heat resistance and the origin of the Salmonella spp. could be established due to significant variation in the heat resistance among strains. The z-values of all strains, including the Salmonella cocktail, were very similar, ranging from 6.85 to 5.77°C. The D-values of the 8 strains of Salmonella spp. cocktail in beef were 8.65, 5.48, 1.50, and 0.67 min; in pork were 6.68, 6.65, 1.62, and 0.87 min; in turkey were 7.42, 4.82, 1.51, and 0.80 min; in chicken were 7.08, 5.20, 1.36, and 0.59 min at 58, 60, 62.5, and 65°C, respectively. Also, the effects and interactions of temperature (55-71.1°C), pH (4-8), sodium chloride content (0.0-6.0%, w/v), sodium pyrophosphate (0.0-0.5%, w/v), and sodium lactate concentration (0.0-4.5%, w/v) are among the variables that were considered when attempting to assess the heat-inactivation kinetics of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. Incorporation of these multiple barriers increased the sensitivity of pathogens to heat, thereby reducing heat requirements and ensuring the safety of ready-to-eat food products. Confidence intervals were developed to allow food processors to know the expected heat resistance of these pathogens. Thermal-death-time values should assist food processors in designing acceptance limits on critical control points that ensure safety against these pathogens in processed foods.

N2  - The use of heat to inactivate food-borne pathogens is a critical control point and the most common means of assuring the microbiological safety of processed foods. A key to optimization of the heating step is defining the target pathogen's heat resistance. Heat resistance of microorganisms can vary depending on the species and strain of bacteria, food composition, physiological state of microbial cells or spores, and recovery conditions (type of media, temperature, atmosphere and time of incubation) for the detection of survivors. Cells grown at higher temperatures or exposed to sub-lethal heat shock, and those growing in a minimal, or fat-rich medium, are more heat resistant. Cells attached to meat surfaces, stainless steel or glass surfaces are more heat resistant than those that are unattached and dispersed throughout in foods. Recovery under anaerobic conditions, at lower temperatures and on non-selective, rich media rather than on selective media, enhance recovery of injured cells. Food characteristics leading to increased heat resistance of an organism include reduced water activity and the presence of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, salt, etc. Quantitative knowledge of the factors in muscle foods that interact and influence the inactivation kinetics are required to estimate accurately how a particular pathogen is likely to behave in a specific food. There is a need for a better understanding of how the interactions among preservation variables can be used for predicting the safety of minimally processed, ready-to-eat meat products. The effects and interactions of temperature, pH, sodium chloride content, and sodium pyrophosphate concentration are among the variables that were considered when attempting to assess the heat-inactivation kinetics of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and spores of non-proteolytic Clostridium botulinum. Incorporation of these multiple barriers increased the sensitivity of pathogens to heat, thereby reducing heat requirements and ensuring the safety of ready-to-eat food products. For example, C. botulinum D-values at 75°C in ground turkey supplemented with 1% salt and 0.1% phosphate at pH 5.5 and 6.25 were 36.1 and 39.1, respectively. When ground turkey contained 2% salt and 0.2% phosphate, the observed D-values in turkey at pH 5.5 and 6.25 decreased by 42.1% and 22.1%, respectively. Confidence intervals were developed to allow food processors to know the expected heat resistance of the pathogens. The future of thermal-death determinations of bacteria will likely rely on predictive thermal inactivation kinetics modeling. Complex multifactorial experiments and analysis to quantify the effects and interactions of additional intrinsic and extrinsic factors and development of "enhanced" predictive models are warranted to ensure the microbiological safety of thermally processed foods.

N2  - Background: Barley has high amounts of soluble fibre but is not extensively consumed in the US diet. Objective: This study investigated whether consumption of barley would reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors comparably with that of other sources of soluble fibre. Design: Mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects (9 postmenopausal women, 9 premenopausal women, and 7 men) consumed controlled American Heart Association Step 1 diets for 17 wk. After a 2-wk adaptation period, whole-grain foods containing 0, 3, or 6 g β-glucan/d from barley were included in the Step 1 diet menus. Diets were consumed for 5 wk each and were fed in a Latin-square design. Fasting blood samples were collected twice weekly. Results: Total cholesterol was significantly lower when the diet contained 3 or 6 g β-glucan/d from barley than when it contained no β-glucan; the greatest change occurred in the men and postmenopausal women. HDL and triacylglycerol concentrations did not differ with the 3 amounts of dietary β-glucan. Large LDL and small VLDL fractions and mean LDL particle size significantly decreased when whole grains were incorporated into the 3 diets. Large LDL and large and intermediate HDL fractions were significantly higher, mean LDL particle size was significantly greater, and intermediate VLDL fractions were significantly lower in the postmenopausal women than in the other 2 groups. A group-by-diet interaction effect was observed on LDL fractions and small LDL particle size. Conclusion: The addition of barley to a healthy diet may be effective in lowering total and LDL cholesterol in both men and women.

N2  - Infants less than 1 500 g birth weight (very low birth weight, VLBW) are at risk for significant nutritional deficiencies. Enhancing nutritional care of these infants during their first months of life may have important short and long-term benefits. In this article, we will consider several areas of recent research in the nutritional management of VLBW infants. In particular, we will focus on issues related to the introduction and use of enteral nutrition. These issues include avoiding mineral deficiencies, early (minimal) enteral nutrition, human milk fortification, and postdischarge nutrition. Transitioning VLBW infants successfully to enteral nutrition is a key to their achieving adequate growth and development without the long-term risks related to parenteral nutrition. Human milk is a key component of any strategy for enteral nutrition of all infants. Its introduction in the first days of life leads to improved growth and better health outcomes for infants. However, although some nutrients are initially increased in the milk of mothers delivering prematurely, there are inadequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus, zinc and other nutrients to meet the needs of the VLBW infant during growth. Therefore, safe and effective means of fortifying human milk are essential to the care of VLBW infants. The optimal approaches for this fortification and the potential risks related to human milk fortification remain controversial. Limited data are available for the optimal content, initiation and methods for mixing fortifier with human milk.

N2  - A time-resolved luminescence (TRL) assay was developed for effective screening of tetracyclines in chicken muscle at the European Union (EU) maximum residue level of 100 ng g-1. The method involves extraction of the tetracyclines with McIlvaine-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) buffer, centrifugation, solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up, formation of an Eu(III) complex, and then measurement of the TRL signal at 615 nm (excitation at 388 nm). Samples fortified with tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC) or chlortetracycline (CTC) gave a linear response over the range of 0-1000 ng g-1, with relative sensitivities 5.4×2.4×, and 1×, respectively. Limits of detection for TC, OTC, and CTC were 3.5, 8, and 19 ng g-1, respectively. Examination of the least sensitive case, CTC, showed no overlap between the TRL of control chicken extracts and those that had been fortified with 100 ng g-1 CTC. The within-day variation for these samples averaged 3.1% relative standard deviation (RSD), as did the day-to-day variation. The method was tested with blind control and fortified samples over the range of 20-500 ng g-1 CTC to illustrate its utility. Other veterinary drugs approved for chickens in the US (enrofloxacin, nicarbazin, tylosin) did not interfere. This method can provide a useful alternative to microbial screening assays for tetracyclines.

N2  - Background: Research conducted before genotyping was possible suggested that subjects heterozygous for the genetic mutation associated with hemochromatosis absorbed nonheme iron more efficiently than did control subjects when tested with a fortified meal. Heme-iron absorption in these subjects has not been reported. Objective: We compared the absorption of heme and nonheme iron from minimally or highly fortified test meals between HFE C282Y-heterozygous and wild-type control subjects. Design: After prospective genotyping of 256 healthy volunteers, 11 C282Y-heterozygous and 12 wild-type control subjects were recruited, and their iron absorption was compared by using a hamburger test meal with or without added iron and ascorbic acid. After retrospective genotyping of 103 participants in previous iron-absorption studies, 5 C282Y-heterozygous subjects were compared with 72 wild-type control subjects. Results: HFE C282Y-heterozygous subjects did not differ significantly from wild-type control subjects in their absorption of either heme or nonheme iron from minimally or highly fortified test meals. No differences were detected in blood indexes of iron status (including serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and non-transferrin-bound iron) or in blood lipids or transaminases, but heterozygotes had significantly greater, although normal, fasting glucose concentrations than did wild-type control subjects. Compound heterozygotes (those who had both HFE C282Y and H63D mutations) absorbed more nonheme (but not heme) iron from meals with high (but not low) iron bioavailability. Conclusions: HFE C282Y-heterozygous subjects did not absorb dietary iron more efficiently, even when foods were highly fortified with iron from ferrous sulfate and ascorbic acid, than did control subjects. Iron fortification of foods should not pose an additional health risk to HFE C282Y heterozygotes.

N2  - Objective: To examine global food demand patterns and how changing diets may stimulate demand for and trade of Mediterranean diet products. Design: Literature review. Trends in global and US food consumption patterns are examined and trade data are reviewed to evaluate the impact of changing diets on trade of Mediterranean diet products. Market access issues are also addressed briefly to highlight the role of policy in the trade of Mediterranean diet products. Results: Diets are shifting towards higher-value products such as meats, fruits and vegetables, and a wider array of packaged food products. Trade in these products has also grown in the past two decades, with several non-traditional importers and exporters becoming increasingly active in the global market. Conclusions: Income-driven demands for quality and variety are likely to increase the demand for Mediterranean diet products globally. While the middle-income countries appear to be the best growth prospects, the USA remains a potential growth market if these products can meet the growing consumer demand for variety, quality and convenience. Although consumer trends globally indicate growth in demand for Mediterranean diet products, the additional demand may not be reflected by a corresponding growth in trade. Trade in Mediterranean diet products continues to be hampered by higher than average trade barriers and high transportation costs for perishables.

N2  - Objective: To review the biological control methods for imported fire ants (IFAs; Solenopsis richteri and S. invicta). Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, Biological Abstracts and the US Department of Agriculture Formis Ant Literature database. Study Selection: All articles published in the last 10 years on biological control of fire ants were selected. Results: The decapitating flies Pseudacteon tricuspis, P. curvatus and P. litoralis have been successfully released in the USA. The continued releases of multiple species of decapitating flies will expand the area of impact, applying greater pressure on IFA populations throughout the southern USA. The microsporidium Thelohania solenopsae causes the slow demise of a fire ant colony. The advantages of T. solenopsae as a biological control agent include debilitation of queens, specificity for IFAs, self-sustaining infections, and lower relative tolerance to chemical pesticides. S. daguerrei has also been shown to have detrimental effects on IFA colony growth, the number of sexual reproductives produced, and the number of host queens in multiple queen colonies; however, this parasite is difficult to rear in the laboratory and to introduce into IFA colonies. Conclusions: It is unlikely that IFAs can be completely eradicated from the USA. However, technology using chemicals and/or natural control agents could eventually maintain populations at low levels if an integrated approach is used for control.

N2  - In this study, we evaluated the suitability of six common organic solvents for gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of pesticides. Three of these, acetone, acetonitrile (MeCN) and ethyl acetate (EtAc), represent extraction solvents commonly used in multiresidue methods for determination of pesticides in produce. The other three, isooctane, hexane and toluene, often serve as exchange solvents before a GC analysis. An ideal solvent for GC analysis of multiclass pesticide residues should be compatible with: the analytes, sample preparation, and GC analysis. This study addresses each aspect with emphasis placed on stability of selected pesticides in the given solvents. In this respect, the exchange solvents proved to be superior to the more polar extraction solvents. Degradation of N-trihalomethylthio fungicides (e.g., captan, folpet, dichlofluanid) in MeCN was observed only in certain lots of the tested MeCN, but even if it occurred, the stability of these analytes as well as that of dicofol and chlorothalonil was dramatically improved by the addition of 0.1% (v/v) acetic acid. Dicofol and chlorothalonil were also unstable in acetone, and pesticides with a thioether group (e.g., fenthion, disulfoton) degraded in the tested EtAc. Formation of isomers of certain pyrethroids (deltamethrin, λ-cyhalothrin) was recorded in the chromatograms from MeCN and acetone solutions, but this effect more likely occurred during the GC injection than in solution. For several reasons, MeCN was found to be the most suitable solvent for extraction of a wide polarity range of pesticide residues from produce. After acidification, the stability of problematic pesticides in MeCN is acceptable, and MeCN can also serve as a medium for GC injection; therefore solvent exchange is generally not required before GC analysis. If sensitivity is an issue in splitless injection, then toluene was demonstrated to be the best exchange solvent due to its miscibility with MeCN and stronger responses of relatively more polar pesticides (e.g., acephate, methamidophos) as compared to hexane and isooctane.

N2  - The volatile constituents of taheebo (the dried inner bark of Tabebuia impetiginosa Martius ex DC) were isolated by three methods: solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE); steam distillation under reduced pressure, followed by continuous liquid-liquid extraction (DRP-LLE); and high-flow dynamic headspace sampling (including closed-loop stripping) (DHS). The extracts were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The masses of total volatile components recovered from 50 g taheebo by SAFE, DRP-LLE and DHS were 26.3±2.0, 19.4±1.0 and 1.2±0.2 mg, respectively. The major constituents isolated with the SAFE method were 4-methoxyphenol (121.65 µg/g), 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (96.49 µg/g), 1,2-propanediol (92.95 µg/g) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (31.33 µg/g). The DRP-LLC method yielded 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (64.54 µg/g), 4-methoxyphenol (42.30 µg/g), 5-(2-propenyl)-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (elemicin; 41.22 µg/g), and 1-methoxy-4-(1E)-1-propenylbenzene (trans-anethole; 39.16 µg/g) as major volatiles, while the main compounds recovered with the DHS method were 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.61 µg/g), 4-methoxyphenol (2.10 µg/g), 2-methyl-5-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (carvone; 1.71 µg/g) and 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol (linalool; 1.64 µg/g).

N2  - β-carotene and other carotenoids have been thought to have anti-cancer activity, either because of antioxidant activity or because of their ability to be converted to vitamin A. Nevertheless, two large scale intervention studies in humans using high doses of β-carotene found that β-carotene supplementation resulted in more lung cancer rather than less lung cancer among smoking and asbestos exposed populations. Studies conducted in the ferret have elucidated molecular mechanisms behind this observation, in that high-dose β-carotene and smoke exposure in these animals leads to squamous metaplasia, a pre-cancerous lesion in the lung. High dose β-carotene in the smoke exposed animals was found to give rise to a number of transient oxidative metabolites, which include P450 enzymes that result in the destruction of retinoic acid, and diminished retinoid signalling, and enhanced cell proliferation. In addition, eccentric cleavage β-carotene metabolites facilitate the binding of smoke derived carcinogens to DNA. In other ferret studies low dose β-carotene smoke exposure provided mild protection against squamous metaplasia. Thus, it appears that the explanation of the apparent paradoxical effects of β-carotene on lung cancer is related to dose. The metabolism and breakdown of natural products should be thoroughly investigated in animal models before embarking on large scale intervention trials, particularly when using unusually high doses that greatly exceed normal dietary levels.

N2  - Feeding stimulates protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and liver of neonates and this response can be reproduced in muscle by the infusion of insulin or amino acids and in liver by the infusion of amino acids, but not insulin. Activation of insulin signalling components leading to translation initiation is associated with the feeding-induced stimulation of muscle protein synthesis in neonates. In this study, we examined the individual roles of insulin and amino acids in the activation of insulin signalling components leading to translation initiation, specifically, the insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), protein kinase B (PKB) and ribosomal protein S6. Insulin secretion was blocked by somatostatin in food-deprived, 7-d-old pigs (n=8-12/group); insulin was infused to achieve plasma levels of ~0, 17, 52, and 255 pmol/litre (~0, 2, 6, 30 µU/ml), and amino acids were clamped at food-deprived or fed levels. In skeletal muscle, insulin increased the activation of IR, IRS-1, PI 3-kinase, PKB and S6 and stimulated protein synthesis. In liver, insulin increased the activation of IR, IRS-1, PI 3-kinase, PKB and S6, but had no effect on protein synthesis. Raising amino acids from the food-deprived to the fed level did not alter the insulin-induced activation of IR, IRS-1, PI 3-kinase and PKB but increased S6 phosphorylation and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and liver. The results suggest that the stimulation of protein synthesis in muscle by insulin involves activation of insulin signalling components, and the stimulation of protein synthesis in muscle and liver by amino acids occurs by mechanisms independent of the early steps of this pathway. Furthermore, amino acids do not alter the insulin-stimulated activation of early steps in the insulin signalling pathway.

N2  - The metabolic syndrome comprises a set of metabolic and physiologic risk factors associated with elevated cardio-vascular disease risk. The expression of each one of its major factors (hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance) has been found to be the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, obesity may play a major role in triggering the metabolic syndrome by interacting with genetic variants at candidate genes for dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. In support of this hypothesis, several studies at multiple candidate genes have already demonstrated the significance of these interactions; however, the data and their reliability are still very limited, and in many cases replication studies are still lacking in the literature. Therefore, more studies with better epidemiologic design and standardized adiposity measures are needed to estimate the contribution of body weight and fat distribution to the genetic predisposition to the metabolic syndrome, which is the most common cardiovascular disease risk factor in industrialized societies.

N2  - Background: Short-term high copper intake does not appear to affect indexes of copper status or functions related to copper status, but the effects of long-term high copper intake are unknown. Objective: A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on indexes of copper status, oxidant damage, and immune function. Design: Nine men were confined to a metabolic research unit (MRU) for 18 d and were fed a 3-d rotating menu providing an average of 1.6 mg Cu/d. The men continued the study under free-living conditions for 129 d and supplemented their usual diets with 7 mg Cu/d. The men then returned to the MRU for 18 d of the same diet as during the first period, except that copper intake was 7.8 mg/d. Plasma copper, ceruloplasmin activity, ceruloplasmin protein, plasma malondialdehyde, benzylamine oxidase activity, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, hair copper, urinary copper, and urinary thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were measured during each MRU period. Results: Ceruloplasmin activity, benzylamine oxidase, and superoxide dismutase were significantly higher at the end of the second MRU period than at the end of the first. Urinary copper excretion, hair copper concentrations, and urinary thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were significantly higher during the second MRU period than during the first. Polymorphonuclear cell count, the percentage of white blood cells, lymphocyte count, and interleukin 2R were affected by copper supplementation. Antibody titer for the Beijing strain of influenza virus was significantly lower in supplemented subjects after immunization than in unsupplemented control subjects. Conclusions: Under highly controlled conditions, long-term high copper intake results in increases in some indexes of copper status, alters an index of oxidant stress, and affects several indexes of immune function. The physiologic implications of these changes are unknown.

N2  - Purpose of review: There has been an increase in the prevalence of food allergy, asthma and severe reactions to foods in the past decade. The reason for this increase is unknown and despite the potential for a lethal outcome, no treatments or therapies are available. Many areas are being explored to understand the increase in food allergy and the role of modern processing techniques is one of them. Recent findings: The fact that processing influences allergenicity is not a new concept, but due to some definitive studies in the last few years the topic has been revitalized. Not only is the processed form of a particular allergen important in assessment of allergenicity, but the role of the food matrix in which an allergen is processed must also be evaluated. The issue of allergenicity of particular foods is therefore highly complex, and even with our existing knowledge we have just begun to understand some of the contributions of processing to allergenic properties of proteins and foods. Summary: Researchers and medical personnel have begun to weigh the benefits and potential disadvantages of assessing the allergenicity of foods in unprocessed forms. In this review, the known effects of processing on the allergenicity of various foods will be discussed along with the implications of the most recent studies on the future direction of research in this area.

N2  - Objectives: To determine whether moderately high or low intakes of zinc adversely affect the copper status of postmenopausal women to result in unfavorable changes in calcium and magnesium metabolism and other indicators of bone turnover. Design: After a 10-day equilibration period in which the diet provided 31.5 µmol (2 mg) Cu and 137.7 µmol (9 mg) Zn/8.4 MJ (2000 kcal), the subjects were randomly divided into two groups, with one group fed the basal diet supplemented to provide 15.7 µmol (1 mg) Cu/8.4 MJ, and the other group fed the same diet supplemented to provide 47.2 µmol (3 mg) Cu/8.4 MJ. After equilibration, both groups were fed the basal diet with no zinc supplemented (provided 45.9 µmol [3 mg] Zn/8.4 MJ) for 90 days; this was followed by another 10-day equilibration period before the basal diet was supplemented with zinc to provide 811 µmol (53 mg)/8.4 MJ for 90 days. Setting: The metabolic unit of the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND, USA. Subjects: A total of 28 postmenopausal women recruited by advertisement throughout the United States of America. Among them, 25 women (64.9+6.7 y) completed the study; 21 as designed. Results: The moderately high intake compared to the low intake of zinc increased the excretion of magnesium in the feces and urine, which resulted in a decreased magnesium balance. In the women fed low dietary copper, plasma osteocalcin was higher during the low-zinc than high-zinc dietary period. The urinary excretion of N-telopeptides was increased and the serum calcitonin concentration was decreased by high dietary zinc regardless of dietary copper. Conclusions: A moderately high intake of zinc (811 µmol/day; 53 mg/day) did not induce changes in copper metabolism that resulted in unfavorable changes in bone or mineral metabolism. However, low dietary zinc (45.9 µmol/day; 3 mg/day) apparently resulted in undesirable changes in circulating calcitonin and osteocalcin. As a moderately high intake of zinc decreased magnesium balance, further study of the possibility that a high intake of zinc is a health concern for individuals consuming less than the recommended amounts of magnesium is warranted.

N2  - Purpose of review: The mechanisms responsible for the Th2-mediated immune response to enteric nematode parasites are of interest for several reasons. First, intestinal parasites continue to be a major worldwide health issue. Second, the low incidence of parasite infection in industrial nations is cited as a factor in the increased prevalence of proinflammatory-based pathologies. Third, a seemingly paradoxical protection against Th2-mediated allergic reactions is afforded by helminth infection. This review focuses on studies that use enteral parasitic infections as a tool to investigate the functional consequences of upregulation of Th2-mediated immunity and that manipulate host-parasite interactions in an effort to identify mechanisms that can be exploited as potential therapeutic targets. Recent findings: Enteric helminth infection improved indices of inflammatory bowel disease in humans and murine models and diminished the allergy-induced changes in pulmonary function. There are emerging or enlarged roles for interleukin-10, interleukin-18, interleukin-9, chemokines, activation of nuclear factor-κβ, and factors that alter host resistance in the development of host immunity, and for interleukin-13Rα2 receptor in downregulating Th2 responses. As part of the growing appreciation for the contribution of nonimmune cells to parasite-induced changes in intestinal function, studies show that Th2 cytokines exert Stat6-dependent effects that promote worm expulsion. Summary: Further insight into the nature of host-parasite interactions, identification of the pathways and critical mediators that contribute to host resistance, identification of the factors that modulate susceptibility to infection, and the impact of enteric parasites on intestinal function hold much promise for development of novel therapeutic interventions.

Objective: In a cross-sectional study of 60-88-y-old men (n=31) and women (n=31) in rural Philippines, we assessed the dietary intakes of elders with adequate (≥0.07 µmol/g) or low (&lt;0.07 µmol/g) liver vitamin A concentrations to estimate vitamin A requirements for this age group. Design: Total-body vitamin A was assessed by the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique; liver vitamin A concentrations were assessed by assuming that liver weight is 2.4% of body weight and that, in this marginally nourished population, 70% of total-body vitamin A is in the liver; serum retinol was measured by HPLC; and dietary intakes were assessed with 3 nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls. The mean vitamin A intake+2 SDs of subjects with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations was used to estimate an acceptable or sufficient vitamin A intake value for elders. Results: The mean (±SD) vitamin A intakes of the men and women with adequate vitamin A in liver were 135±86 and 134±104 µg retinol activity equivalents (RAE)/d, respectively; intakes of the men and women with low vitamin A in liver were 75±53 and 60±27 µg RAE/d, respectively. Total-body vitamin A or liver vitamin A but not serum retinol correlated with dietary RAE, preformed vitamin A, β-carotene, fat, and protein. An estimated acceptable or sufficient dietary vitamin A intake associated with adequate liver vitamin A concentrations in elders is 6.45 µg RAE/kg body wt; for a reference 76-kg man and a 61-kg woman, these values are ~500 and 400 µg RAE/d, respectively. Conclusion: The dietary vitamin A intakes of elders with adequate or low liver vitamin A concentrations as estimated by use of the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique are useful for assessing vitamin A requirements.

N2  - OBJECTIVE: To describe associations between eating behaviors, dietary intake, physical activity, attitudes toward diet and health, sociodemographic variables and body mass index (BMI) among women and children, and differences by household income. DESIGN: Data from the 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS) were examined using multivariate regression to estimate the associations between BMI and behavioral and environmental variables among women and children. SUBJECTS: CSFII 1994-1996 is representative of the US population. DHKS surveyed CSFII respondents 20 y of age and over. Our samples consisted of 2419 adult women and 1651 school-age children. MEASUREMENTS: CSFII respondents reported 24 h recalls of all food intakes on 2 nonconsecutive days and their personal and household characteristics, including self-reported height and weight. DHKS collected data on knowledge and attitudes toward dietary guidance and health from CSFII adult respondents. RESULTS: Significant correlations between women's BMI and age, race, dietary patterns, TV watching, and smoking was observed among women from both low- and high-income households. Beverage consumption, eating out, the importance of maintaining healthy weight, and exercise were correlated with BMI only among women from high-income households. Among children, age, race, income, and mother's BMI were significantly correlated with child BMI. CONCLUSIONS: Among women, the associations between some behavioral and environmental factors and BMI differ by household income. Intervention programs need to target specific eating and physical activity behaviors to promote a healthy body weight.

N2  - Broccoli is well recognized as a source of glucosinolates and their isothiocyanate breakdown products. Glucoraphanin is one of the most abundant glucosinolates present in broccoli and its cognate isothiocyanate is sulphoraphane, a potent inducer of mammalian detoxication (phase 2) enzyme activity and anti-cancer agent. This study was designed to measure: glucosinolate levels in broccoli florets from an array of genotypes grown in several environments; the elevation of a key phase 2 enzyme, quinone reductase, in mammalian cells exposed to floret extracts; and total broccoli head content. There were significant environmental and genotype-by-environment effects on levels of glucoraphanin and quinone reductase induction potential of broccoli heads; however, the effect of genotype was greater than that of environmental factors. The relative rankings among genotypes for glucoraphanin and quinone reductase induction potential changed, when expressed on a per head basis, rather than on a concentration basis. Correlations of trait means in one environment vs. means from a second were stronger for glucoraphanin and quinone reductase induction potential on a per head basis than on a fresh weight concentration basis. Results of this study indicate that development of a broccoli phenotype with a dense head and a high concentration of glucoraphanin to deliver maximum chemoprotective potential (high enzyme induction potential/glucoraphanin content) is a feasible goal.

N2  - Background: The relation between physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and percentage body fat (%BF) is not very strong in the general population. It is possible that variables such as sex, food intake, or both may in part explain this poor coupling. Objective: This study was designed to show the relation between PAEE and %BF and to determine whether sex, food intake, or both influence the strength of the relation. Design: We used doubly labelled water or energy intake balance, indirect calorimetry, dietary interview, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), food intake, and %BF, respectively, in 91 healthy persons (women: aged 48 years, 38.6%BF, n=47; men: aged 47 years, 24.1%BF, n=44). Results: TEE, PAEE, and REE were significantly lower in women than in men. TEE was related to %BF in women (r=0.53, P&lt;0.0001) but not in men (r=-0.22, P&gt;0.05). The relation between PAEE and %BF was significant in men (r=-0.34, P&lt;0.03) but not in women. PAL was also significantly related to %BF in men (r=-0.36, P&lt;0.02) but not in women. Macronutrient intake (% of total energy) did not differ significantly between the sexes, but carbohydrate (r=-0.44, P&lt;0.003) and fat (r=0.31, P&lt;0.04) intakes were significantly related to %BF in women. Conclusions: These results suggest that the relation between PAEE and %BF is stronger in men than in women. Macronutrient composition seems have a stronger influence on %BF in women than in men.

N2  - Background: Fast food has become a prominent feature of the diet of children in the United States and, increasingly, throughout the world. However, few studies have examined the effects of fast-food consumption on any nutrition or health-related outcome. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that fast-food consumption adversely affects dietary factors linked to obesity risk. Methods: This study included 6212 children and adolescents 4 to 19 years old in the United States participating in the nationally representative Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals conducted from 1994 to 1996 and the Supplemental Children' Survey conducted in 1998. We examined the associations between fast-food consumption and measures of dietary quality using between-subject comparisons involving the whole cohort and within-subject comparisons involving 2080 individuals who ate fast food on one but not both survey days. Results: On a typical day, 30.3% of the total sample reported consuming fast food. Fast-food consumption was highly prevalent in both genders, all racial/ethnic groups, and all regions of the country. Controlling for socioeconomic and demographic variables, increased fast-food consumption was independently associated with male gender, older age, higher household incomes, non-Hispanic black race/ethnicity, and residing in the South. Children who ate fast food, compared with those who did not, consumed more total energy (187 kcal; 95% confidence interval, CI: 109-265), more energy per gram of food (0.29 kcal/g; 95% CI: 0.25-0.33), more total fat (9 g; 95% CI: 5.0-13.0), more total carbohydrate (24 g; 95% CI: 12.6-35.4), more added sugars (26 g; 95% CI: 18.2-34.6), more sugar-sweetened beverages (228 g; 95% CI: 184-272), less fibre (-1.1 g; 95% CI: -1.8 to -0.4), less milk (-65 g; 95% CI: -95 to -30), and fewer fruits and nonstarchy vegetables (-45 g; 95% CI: -58.6 to -31.4). Very similar results were observed by using within-subject analyses in which subjects served as their own controls: that is, children ate more total energy and had poorer diet quality on days with, compared with without, fast food. Conclusion: Consumption of fast food among children in the United States seems to have an adverse effect on dietary quality in ways that plausibly could increase risk for obesity.

N2  - Two species from Argentina, Anchocoema bidentata and Astroma saltense, were evaluated as potential biological control agents of creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) in the southwestern USA. Their biology, behaviour and geographical distribution of those species were studied. The host plant ranges for both insects were established through nymph feeding preference and development tests in the laboratory and in the field (Washington D.C., USA). Thirty-three species of plants belonging to 13 families were tested. Anchocoema bidentata and Astroma saltense are mimetic species, having as many as three generations a year, and exhibit strong sexual dimorphism; females are larger and less mobile than males. In both species, females laid egg masses in the soil. First instars appeared in the field at the end of the spring, the second generation at mid-summer, and a third at the end of the summer. Adults of Anchocoema bidentata and Astroma saltense appeared in the field at the beginning of the spring. The laboratory multiple-choice feeding test showed that Anchocoema bidentata preferred L. divaricata, while Astroma saltense preferred L. divaricata and L. cuneifolia. In the nymph development test (no choice), Anchocoema bidentata was able to complete its development only on L. divaricata and L. cuneifolia, while Astroma saltense completed its development on six plant species: L. divaricata, L. cuneifolia, Bulnesia retama, B. schickendantzii, Zuccagnia punctata and Prosopis torquata. It is concluded that A. bidentata could be a biological control agent for L. tridentata because the first instar can complete its development only on Larrea spp. Regarding Astroma saltense, this species showed a wide host range and should not be considered as a biological control agent of L. tridentata.

N2  - Context: The prevalence of overweight (OW) among children in the USA has increased during the last three decades, but prevalence measures fail to reveal the extent to which OW children exceed the OW threshold. Objective: To measure the amount by which OW children exceed the OW threshold. To examine the trend in this measure over the last three decades using data with measured weights and heights. Design, Setting and Participants: Data used for analysis are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for persons between 2 and 19 years of age from 1971 to 2000. Anthropometric measures were obtained by trained health technicians, and the sample sizes range from 4037 in 1999-2000 to 10 590 in 1988-94. Main Outcome Measure: The extent of OW is measured as the average amount by which each child's body mass index (BMI) exceeds their age and gender-specific OW threshold. This measure is examined by sex, age group and race/ethnicity. The OW threshold for those aged 2-19 years is defined as at or above the 95th percentile of the sex-specific BMI for age growth charts. Results: The extent of child OW has been increasing faster than the prevalence of child OW for all classifications considered in this paper, including the analysis by age, sex, race and ethnicity. The prevalence of OW for children aged 2-19 years increased by 182% between 1971-71 and 1999-2000, while the extent of OW increased by 247% over the same time period. Conclusions: Unlike prevalence measures, the measure of the extent of child OW is sensitive to changes in the BMI distribution of the overweight. This analysis reveals that not only have more children become OW in the last three decades, but OW children have been getting heavier.

AB  - The article presents the author's opinions concerning the potential of fuel cells to aid in challenges faced in the U.S. and globally to deal with peak power periods and the difficulties in storing energy generated by renewable energy sources. The author advocates for more fuel cell research and discusses the potential of hybrid fuel cells that would generate and store energy. Another option proposed is a type of fuel cell that could convert natural gas (methane) into liquid fuel (methanol).

M3  - Report
AB  - In 1996, under the coordination of the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Children's Initiative subcommittee, 23 federal agencies involved in child and adolescent research programs came together to examine the federal investment in research focused on the biological, cognitive, and social development of America's children. This report provides starting points for the Federal Government over the next few years as it evaluates the research investments to be made on key issues affecting the health, education, and well-being of children and youth. The report urges strengthening the use of research findings to inform policy and program development and for establishing productive partnerships among public and private sectors. Following an executive summary and an overview, the report is organized into four sections. Section 1, 'Snapshot of the Federal Research Portfolio,' briefly describes the current federal investment in research on children and adolescents. Section II, 'Gaps in the Knowledge Base: Examples of Research Opportunities,' provides examples of research needs in understanding children's development, and a basis for establishing research priorities. Section III, 'A Key Element of the Research Enterprise: Links to Policymakers and Service Providers,' discusses the need for establishing stronger links among researchers, policymakers, and service providers to develop policies and programs that meet the needs of children and adolescents. The concluding section, 'Next Steps: Options for Phase Two of the Children's Initiative,' provides recommendations for building on the work of this first phase. Four appendices include a list of the Children's Initiative committee and staff; the methodology for assessing the federal investment in research; a 42-item bibliography; and examples of successful research-policy or research-linkages submitted by federal agencies.

N2  - A method of paired comparison is adapted for use in estimating economic measures of value. The method elicits multiple binary choices for paired items in a choice set. Probability distributions and economic values are estimated nonparametrically and parametrically. The method is applied in an experimental context with a choice set composed of four private goods and several sums of money. The sample's median value estimates for the goods are generally not different than the market prices for these goods. People who are in the market for a good value the good higher than those not in the market for the good.

N2  - Answering essentially any question with sample data requires variance estimates and these estimates depend critically on the sample design. The design information necessary to estimate variances for sample statistics from the US Current Population Survey (CPS) is not publicly released in order to protect respondent confidentiality. To circumvent this problem, the US Census Bureau provides a variance estimation methodology but it is only valid for a few specific point estimates. This paper discusses shortcomings of the Census Bureau methodology and proposes an alternative, general approximation methodology that produces variance estimates for a significantly wider class of statistics, including regression analysis. The proposed approach is based on resorting the data and assigning subsequent observations to synthetic clusters in a manner that creates similarities with the actual CPS sample. The synthetic design approach successfully approximates a baseline for comparison in 34 of the 37 sample estimates considered.

AB  - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by certain fungi that infest cereal grains. A hybridoma cell line producing a monoclonal antibody (Mab) was used as the starting point in the development of a recombinant single chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) recognising DON. The scFv and Mab were characterised using two immunoassay formats: competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CD-ELISA) and biolayer interferometry (BLI). Using CD-ELISA the IC50s for DON were 36.1 and 13.8 ng/ml for assays based on the scFv and Mab, respectively. The cross-reactivity to DON analogs was very similar for the scFv and the Mab. The real-time binding of the antibodies to an immobilised DON-protein conjugate was also monitored. In competitive BLI assays the IC50s using the scFv and Mab were 68.3 and 15.8 ng/ml, respectively. The results suggest that sensitivity of assays, but not selectivity, was affected by removal of the constant regions of the Mab. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background/Objectives:Flavanols may provide protection against insulin resistance, but little is known about the amounts and types of flavanols that may be efficacious.Subjects/Methods:This study was designed to determine whether cocoa flavanols, over a range of intakes, improve biomarkers of glucose regulation, inflammation and hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance. As an adjunct, green tea and cocoa flavanols were compared for their ability to modulate these biomarkers. In a randomized crossover design, 20 adults consumed a controlled diet for 5 days along with four cocoa beverages containing 30-900 mg flavanol per day, or tea matched to a cocoa beverage for monomeric flavanol content.Results:Cocoa beverages produced no significant changes in glucose, insulin, total area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for glucose or total insulin AUC. As the dose of cocoa flavanols increased, total 8-isoprostane concentrations were lowered (linear contrast, P=0.02), as were C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (linear contrast, P=0.01). The relationship between cocoa flavanol levels and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations was quadratic, suggesting that a maximum effective dose was achieved (quadratic contrast, P=0.01). There were no significant effects on measured indices of glucose regulation, nor on those of total 8-isoprostane, CRP and IL-6 concentrations, when cocoa and green tea were compared. However, relative to cocoa, green tea lowered fibrinogen concentrations (P=0.0003).Conclusions:Short-term intake of cocoa and green tea flavanols does not appear to improve glucose metabolism; they do affect selected markers of one or more measures of oxidative stress, inflammation or hemostasis in obese adults at risk for insulin resistance.

N2  - We describe the main economic arguments posed for and against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) during the U.S. policy debate. To evaluate these arguments, we analyze recent trade data and survey post-NAFTA studies. We find that both the U.S. and Mexico benefit from NAFTA, with much larger relative benefits for Mexico. NAFTA also has had little effect on the U.S. labor market. These results confirm the consensus opinion of economists at the time of the debate. Finally, studies find that trade creation greatly exceeds trade diversion in the region under NAFTA, especially in intermediate goods.

N2  - The monthly average U.S. imported crude oil price in February 2001 was around $26.30 per barrel or almost $30 per barrel for West Texas intermediate (WTI) crude, which was about level with prices of the previous months. Barring a sharp drop in world oil consumption below current expectations of the Energy Information Administration (EIA), no compelling case for rapidly declining oil prices emerges from the world oil market outlook. We expect the WTI spot price average to remain near $30 per barrel for the rest of this year (2001). Prices are assumed to remain above $26 per barrel through the forecast period. The balance of world oil demand and supply suggests a continuation of the tight inventory situation in industrialized countries seen in 2000.

N2  - Concentration in the pork industry has increased and spawned concerns over market power. Agricultural policy instruments operate differently under imperfect competition. This article analyzes the impacts of policy instruments when the pork industry is assumed to be imperfectly competitive. The arguments are made that policy instruments can be categorized into those with impacts independent of market conduct and those with impacts dependent on market conduct. If the policy objective is to raise swine grower welfare, markets need to remain open to trade, the use of quantitative policy instruments should be avoided, and domestic subsidies to packers must be effective.

N2  - This study examines the dynamic effects of a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) on the countries within the Western Hemisphere. The analysis uses an intertemporal, global, multisector general equilibrium model that takes into account changes in saving-investment, capital accumulation, and the linkages between openness in trade and economic growth. The study finds that the developing countries in the hemisphere may not enjoy welfare gain from an FTAA if they trade more with non-hemisphere countries and if trade-diverting effects dominate trade-creating effects. Taking into account the total factor productivity (TFP)-trade linkages, however, all developing countries in the region would benefit from an FTAA. The direct effects of an FTAA on the U.S. and Canada are modest, while the indirect effects of an FTAA, i.e., the effects on U.S. and Canadian firms to invest in their neighboring countries, are strong.

AB  - Background: Folic acid (FA) fortification of food created the need to determine whether fortification elevated concentrations of unmetabolized FA in plasma and whether this form of the vitamin in blood is associated with adverse health outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to devise a simple, rapid method for the measurement of unmetabolized plasma FA in epidemiologic studies. DESIGN: We previously used the affinity/HPLC with electrochemical detection method to measure folate distribution in human plasma and red blood cells (RBCs). We modified this method with the inclusion of synthetic ethyltetrahydrofolate as an internal standard and with the use of 2 affinity columns connected in parallel to the analytic column through a switching valve to allow one column to be loaded while the other column was eluted into the analytic column. RESULTS: We identified FA and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-mTHF) by retention time and characteristic response across the channels of the electrochemical detector. Limits of detection were 0.034 pmol for 5-mTHF and 0.027 pmol for FA per injection, and the recovery was 92.2% (5-mTHF) and 98.9% (FA). CVs for samples were 8.1% (within day) and 6.8% (between day) for 5-mTHF and 3.2% (within day) and 5.9% (between day) for FA. Total folate with the use of this method correlated highly (r(2) = 0.98, P < 0.001) with values from the microbial assay. The run time for the method was 30 min per sample. Researchers can use this method with longer run times to measure the distribution of folate forms in RBCs. CONCLUSION: This updated method allows efficient analysis of folate forms in human plasma and tissues without the loss of sensitivity or precision. Copyright © 2011 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - African Americans have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and some forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than do European Americans. African Americans also have much higher rates of vitamin D deficiency. There is emerging evidence that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for hypertension, T2D, and CVD, but the extent to which racial disparities in disease rates are explained by racial differences in vitamin D status is uncertain. Despite a large number of observational studies and a limited number of clinical trials that examined 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations as a potential determinant of CVD and T2D or its precursors, it remains uncertain whether improving vitamin D status would reduce risk of these conditions in the general US population or in African Americans specifically. However, if the associations reported from the observational studies are of the estimated magnitudes and causal, vitamin D supplementation could potentially have a strong preventive effect on some of these conditions and could reduce race-related disparities in their prevalence. Because of the low 25(OH)D concentrations of many, if not most, African Americans, and the low risk associated with vitamin D supplementation, it is important to obtain more definitive answers to these questions. © 2011 American Society for Nutrition

N2  - New types of crop insurance have expanded the tools from which crop producers may choose to manage risk. Little is known regarding how these products interact with futures and options. This analysis examines optimal futures and put ratios in the presence of four alternative insurance coverages. An analytical model investigates the comparative statics of the relationship between hedging and insurance. Additional numerical analysis is conducted which incorporates futures price, basis, and yield variability. Yield insurance is found to have a positive effect on hedging levels. Revenue insurance tends to result in slightly lower hedging demand than would occur given the same level of yield insurance coverage.

N2  - This article examines the role that employed and nonemployed teenagers play in family expenditures. It specifically looks at the percentage of teenagers who are employed and not employed and the characteristics of each, using income level as a gauge. This is because children from low-income families may be more likely to contribute to family economic well-being than children from nonlow-income families. In addition, the association of teen employment with major family expenses is analyzed by testing whether teen employment is associated with more or less money spent on certain types of expenses, while controlling for other factors. Data are from the interview component of the 1997-98 Consumer Expenditure Survey, which is collected by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The research concludes that approximately one-third of all teenagers were employed to some extent during 1997-98; however, many of those working teens did not seem to work to contribute to family necessities.

AB  - Background We examined the degree of postprandial triglyceride ( TG) response over the day, representing a highly dynamic state, with continuous metabolic adaptations, among normal-weight, overweight and obese patients, according to their metabolically healthy or abnormal status. Materials and methods A total of 1002 patients from the CORDIOPREV clinical trial ( NCT00924937) were submitted to an oral fat load test meal with 0·7 g fat/kg body weight (12% saturated fatty acids ( SFA), 10% polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFA), 43% monounsaturated fatty acids ( MUFA), 10% protein and 25% carbohydrates). Serial blood test analysing lipid fractions and inflammation markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs- CRP)) were drawn at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h during postprandial state. We explored the dynamic response according to six body size phenotypes: (i) normal weight, metabolically healthy; (ii) normal weight, metabolically abnormal; (iii) overweight, metabolically healthy; (iv) overweight, metabolically abnormal; (v) obese, metabolically healthy; and (vi) obese, metabolically abnormal. Results Metabolically healthy patients displayed lower postprandial response of plasma TG and large triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins ( TRLs)- TG, compared with those metabolically abnormal, independently whether or not they were obese ( P < 0·001 and P < 0·001, respectively). Moreover, the area under the curve ( AUC) of TG and AUC of large TRLs- TG were greater in the group of metabolically abnormal compared with the group of metabolically healthy ( P < 0·001 and P < 0·001, respectively). Interestingly, metabolically abnormal subjects displayed higher postprandial response of plasma hs- CRP than did the subgroup of normal, overweight and obese, metabolically healthy patients ( P < 0·001). Conclusions Our findings showed that certain types of the metabolic phenotypes of obesity are more favourable modulating phenotypic flexibility after a dynamic fat load test, through TG metabolism and inflammation homoeostasis. To identify, these phenotypes may be the best strategy for personalized treatment of obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To evaluate the utility of  several participant engagement indicators  for predicting health changes in  a church-based lifestyle intervention  shown effective for improving dietary,  physical activity, and clinical outcomes.  Methods: Descriptive indicators were  constructed using 2 participant engagement  measures - education session attendance  (EDA) and exercise class attendance  (EXA) - separately and combined.  Relationships of 6 engagement indicators  to health outcomes were tested using  generalized linear mixed models.  Results: EDA predicted 5 dietary and 1  clinical outcome, whereas EXA predicted  one physical activity and one clinical  outcome. The combined indicator predicted  the same 7 outcomes. Conclusion:  Use of single engagement indicators specific  to each intervention component is  advocated for predicting relevant health  outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Over 20% of Earth's terrestrial surface is underlain by permafrost with vast stores of carbon that, once thawed, may represent the largest future transfer of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere. This process is largely dependent on microbial responses, but we know little about microbial activity in intact, let alone in thawing, permafrost. Molecular approaches have recently revealed the identities and functional gene composition of microorganisms in some permafrost soils and a rapid shift in functional gene composition during short-term thaw experiments. However, the fate of permafrost carbon depends on climatic, hydrological and microbial responses to thaw at decadal scales. Here we use the combination of several molecular 'omics' approaches to determine the phylogenetic composition of the microbial communities, including several draft genomes of novel species, their functional potential and activity in soils representing different states of thaw: intact permafrost, seasonally thawed active layer and thermokarst bog. The multi-omics strategy reveals a good correlation of process rates to omics data for dominant processes, such as methanogenesis in the bog, as well as novel survival strategies for potentially active microbes in permafrost.

AB  - Summary: The shapes of flowers and their organization into branching systems, called inflorescences, dictate much of plant diversity. Recent studies have identified key regulators in this diversity, revealing that the inflorescence architecture of Solanaceous species depends on sequential and temporal expression of the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) gene EVERGREEN (EVG)/ COMPOUND INFLORESCENCE (S) and the UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO) ortholog DOUBLE TOP (DOT)/ANANTHA (AN).

AB  - The metabolic syndrome comprises a set of metabolic and physiological risk factors associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. The expression of each one of its major factors (hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance) has been found to be the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, one of them, obesity, may play a major role in triggering the metabolic syndrome by interacting with genetic variants at candidate genes for dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. In support of this hypothesis, several studies at several candidate genes, mainly adipokines and perilipin, have already demonstrated the significance of these interactions; however, the information and its solidity are still very limited and in many cases, replication studies are still lacking in the literature. Therefore, more studies with better epidemiological design and standardized adiposity measures are needed to estimate the contribution of body weight and fat distribution to the genetic predisposition to the metabolic syndrome, the most common CVD risk factor in industrialized societies.

AB  - The article reports that vitamin D deficiency can increase heart disease risk, according to researchers of Framingham Heart Study in the U.S. The researchers found an increase in cardiovascular risk with each level of vitamin D deficiency which is attributed to lack of sun exposure, and inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D enriched foods. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy people get adequate nutrients by eating a variety of foods in moderation than taking supplements.

AB  - Research into plant nutrition focuses on how plants maintain elemental differences from the surrounding environment. Classic genetic analysis has been hindered because it is not possible to accurately screen for perturbations in this disequilibrium. Recent work by Lahner and colleagues has enabled efficient screening and identification of plants that have altered elemental profiles. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence and secular trends of high weight-for-length among infants (ages, 3-23 months) in the biennial US Department of Agriculture Women, Infants, and Children Program and Participants Characteristic (WIC-PC) Survey from 2000 through 2014 (n = 16 927 120). METHODS: Weight-for-length was considered to be "high" if it was ≥2 SDs above the sex-and age-specific median in the World Health Organization growth standards. Poisson regression was used to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of high weight-for-length increased from 13.4% in 2000 to 14.5% in 2004, remained constant until 2010, and then decreased by >2 percentage points (to 12.3%) through 2014. The prevalence of high weight-for-length was associated with sex (higher among boys), race-ethnicity (highest among American Indians/Alaskan Natives), and with both age (positive) and family income (inverse). The secular trends, however, were fairly similar within categories of these variables. From 2010 to 2014, the prevalence of high weight-for-length decreased in 40 states and 3 (of 5) US territories, with the largest decreases seen in Puerto Rico (-9 percentage points) and Kentucky (-7 percentage points), and the largest increase (+2 percentage points) seen in West Virginia. CONCLUSIONS: Although the current results cannot be considered representative of infants in the populations, the prevalence of a high weight-for-length has decreased among infants in WIC-PC since 2010. These decreases were similar across categories of most characteristics, but there were substantial differences across jurisdictions, possibly reflecting differences in policy and local programs that target maternal and infant health.

AB  - Objective To determine whether fourth-grade students participating in the Shaping Healthy Choices Program (SHCP), a school-based nutrition intervention, would change vegetable and carotenoid intake measured by skin carotenoids and dietary intake. Methods Single-group pretest–posttest with a self-selected, convenience sample of students (n = 30) participating in the SHCP, which lasted 1 academic year (9 months). Dietary intake of vegetables and carotenoids as measured by Block food frequency questionnaire and skin carotenoids as measured by Raman spectroscopy were collected at the school preintervention and postintervention. Results Reported carotenoid intake decreased by 1.5 mg ( P = .05) and skin carotenoids decreased by 2,247.9 RRS intensity units ( P = .04). Change in reported intake correlated with change in skin carotenoids ( r = .43; P = .02). Conclusions and Implications The reported decrease in vegetable and carotenoid intake was unanticipated; nevertheless, the RRS measurements confirmed this. RRS data can help evaluate changes in fruit and vegetable intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - In the fields of agriculture and resource economics, good economics is predicted by good science. By partnering more with physical scientists, economists will be better able to provide the broad policy-making community with practical recommendations for addressing resource issues. An example of collaboration is presented for the development of environmental indicators of the potential risk to the environment of the loss of pesticides from farm fields, which will be used by economists to adjust conventionally measured agricultural output for water quality impacts associated with agricultural production.

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: Aquaculture production of tilapia has expanded rapidly throughout the world over the past decade and is expected to continue to grow in the foreseeable future: as world population grows, demand for quality seafood continues to rise and supply from capture fisheries becomes limited. Parallel to the growth of the industry has been a trend toward intensification of culture practices where fish are stocked at high densities aiming to obtain higher yield per unit area. In contrast to extensive and semi-intensive culture system where fish derive all or most of their nutritional needs from natural pond food organisms, tilapia reared under intensive systems depend largely on compounded feeds. Successful operations of these production systems are dependent, among other factors, on good nutrition. Since feed costs represent the major proportion of the overall production cost in intensive culture operations, the availability of low-cost, nutritionally balanced diets of appropriate water stability, size, shape, texture, odor, and taste, and the use of good feeding practices are the two most important requisites for sustainable and successful fish production. Without adequate intake of suitable quality feeds, fish are unable to grow and reproduce efficiently and remain healthy. Dupree (1984) indicated that good feeding practices are as important to the aquaculturist as the availability of good feeds. Since fish are fed in the water, excess or uneaten feed represents not only a direct economic loss, but also causes environmental degradation that can bring about stress, diseases, slow growth, low survival, and poor harvest. Thus, the use of good feeding management for different sizes and species cultured under diverse environmental conditions and production systems is of critical importance for aquaculturists

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: Tilapia are the most adaptable and successful aquaculture species worldwide. These are tropical species endemic to freshwater in Africa, Jordan, and Israel. They are, however, being cultured in virtually all types of production systems in both fresh and saltwater in tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates. Early tilapia production relied on natural food organisms as the source of nutrients for growth and well-being. In the past two decades, as a result of technological development and improvements, particularly those concerned with seed production, culture system designs, water management, disease prevention and control, feeds and feeding practices, tilapia culture has expanded rapidly worldwide. Global tilapia production through aquaculture reached 1.25 million metric tons (MMT) in 2000 as compared with only 800,000 metric tons (MT) in 1996 (FAO 2002) and 200,000 MT in 1986 (Luquet 1991). This trend is expected to continue due to increased demand of tilapia in both domestic and international markets. As the industry expands and technology development continues, traditional extensive culture is being replaced by semi-intensive and intensive production systems. In semi-intensive farming systems, supplemental feeds that consist of locally available, low-cost single feedstuffs such as rice bran, com meal, copra meal, coffee pulp, brewery by-product and/or their combination are generally used as supplements to natural food (Lim 1989). These feeds are high in energy, low in protein and deficient in micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. It is assumed that the deficient nutrients will be provided by natural food organisms. As stocking rate increases, the contribution of natural food decreases and more nutritionally complete feeds are needed. In intensive culture systems such as in ponds, raceways, cages, and tanks, feed is the most expensive item, often ranging from 30 to 60 percent of the total variable expenses, depending on the intensity of the culture operation. Thus, the availability of least-cost, nutritionally well-balanced feeds is one of the most important requisites for successful and sustainable tilapia production. Data on nutrient requirements, among other information, are needed for least-cost feed formulation. This chapter provides an overview of the nutritional requirements of tilapia with respect to protein, energy, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Phylogeny is fundamental as it constrains explanations about history and forms our foundation for recognizing and diagnosing species. In the absence of such a framework taxonomists historically relied on intuitive processes, personal judgment and authority, often embracing a typological view of species that disregarded otherwise unequivocal historical and biological criteria. Species of Taenia are among the most characteristic tapeworms infecting carnivores and humans as definitive hosts and indeed Taeniidae is unique among the Eucestoda in requiring 2 obligate mammalian hosts for transmission; a high percentage (>80%) of life cycles have been completely elucidated among the approximately 45 species and nominal subspecies of Taenia. Until recently there had been no comprehensive attempts at reconstruction of a phylogeny among these important parasites. Such analyses have allowed us to explore the origins and evolution of those independent species of Taenia that occur in humans (T. saginata, T. asiatica, and T. solium) and to understand the ecological and historical processes serving as determinants of biogeography and host-association. These studies supported the status of T. asiatica as a valid species and diagnosed a relationship as the sister-species of T. saginata. These conclusions contrasted with a diversity of opinions that would subsume T. asiatica as a subspecies. Recognition of a species constitutes a specific and testable hypothesis, is not an arbitrary decision and is most appropriately assessed in the context of phylogenetic or historical data. Considering macrospecies, a process has been outlined by Brooks and McLennan [Brooks DR, McLennan DA. The nature of diversity: an evolutionary voyage of discovery. University of Chicago Press: Chicago; 2002] as follows: (1) Discovery: a systematist describes the species; (2) Phylogenetic reconstruction; (3) Evaluation I: do sister-species show geographical overlap-are they sympatric or allopatric (use phylogeny+geographical distributions)? (4) Evaluation II: are sister-species reproductively isolated based on information from natural history, ecology and reproductive biology? Species may be viewed in the context of microevolutionary and macroevolutionary processes. For instance, microspecies are defined in ecological time and involve populations and contemporary process that are potentially reversible (reticulate). In contrast, macrospecies as exemplified by T. saginata and T. asiatica...

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: This study determined the growth performance and acquired resistance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) that survived Streptococcus iniae infection. Tilapia were challenged with three doses of S. iniae (8.8 x 10E3, 8.8 X 10E4 and 8.8 x 10E5 CFU/fish for low. medium and high challenges respectively). Groups of non-injected and tryptic soy broth-injected fish were maintained as controls. Significantly (P<0.05) higher mortality (45.0%) occurred in the high challenge treatment than in the low challenge treatment group (29.6%). The medium challenge group had mortality (36.3 %) that did not differ significantly from the high or low treatment. Few fish died in the non-injected and broth-injected treatments (3.4% and 0.8% respectively). The tilapia that survived S. iniae infection used to assess growth performance, were selected from survivors without gross clinical signs of disease. These fish were randomly stocked at a rate of 30 fish into each 57 L aquarium in triplicate and fed to apparent satiation for 8 weeks. No significant differences were detected in weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency ratio or survival between S. iniae-survived tilapia and the control treatments following the 8-week growth performance trial. Following the 8-week feeding study, tilapia were challenged with 1 x 106 CFU/fish of S. iniae to assess acquired immunity. Mean cumulative mortality was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the control treatments (41.7% for the non-injected and 43.3% for the broth-injected fish) than in the low, medium and high challenge treatments (7.4%, 3.3% and 8.3% respectively). Serum protein was significantly (P <0.05) elevated in the S. iniae-survived tilapia that were subsequently challenged when compared with controls challenged for the first time. Agglutinating antibody titre was significantly higher in the fish in the medium and high challenge treatments, compared with the control fish challenged for the first time. The results suggest tilapia that survive S. iniae challenge without showing overt disease signs performed as well as non-infected tilapia. Further, the S. iniae-survived tilapia challenged following the 8-week growth performance trial gained acquired resistance to homologous S. iniae challenge

Survival, growth, disease resistance, and immunological parameters were monitored for a maximum of 94 days. Bacterial populations were higher in the digestive tracts of tilapia receiving probiotic diets, and colony morphology suggested that viable probiotic bacteria persisted up to 48 hours after feeding. Survival was higher after 39-63 days in fish receiving the Bioplus probiotic, Bacillus spp. There was no difference in growth, lysozyme, total serum immunoglobulin, complement, specific anti-streptococcal antibody levels, or mortality due to Streptococcus iniae infection either before or after disease challenge. The results suggest that these commercially-available probiotic microorganisms do not provide beneficial effects in young Nile tilapia

N2  - Background: Analytical methods for measuring the calcium isotope distribution in enriched human serum samples that use low blood volumes, simple preparation methods, and rapid analysis are important in clinical studies of calcium kinetics. Previously, sample preparation by oxalate precipitation typically required 500 µL of serum. This method was time-consuming, and the blood volume required was limiting in circumstances when only a small amount of serum could be obtained. Methods: Serum was collected from humans who were administered 42Ca, and 20 µL of serum was mixed with 2 mL of 0.22-0.67 mol/L HNO3 at room temperature for between 1 min and 16 h. The 42Ca/43Ca ratio in the supernatant was measured by a magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Calcium isotope ratios from these equilibration solutions were compared with data from oxalate-precipitated serum samples to determine the optimum equilibrium time and the effect of acid concentration on equilibrium. Results: Various amounts of aggregated particles developed in different acid-serum mixtures. These affected the time required for isotope equilibration in the mixture. The shortest equilibrium time needed for the calcium isotopes varied from 1 to 6 h for samples acidified with 0.22-0.45 mol/L HNO3. Data obtained from these solutions were consistent with data from oxalate-precipitated calcium. The precision of 42Ca/43Ca ratio measurements was better than 0.5%. Conclusions: We have developed a simple, rapid sample preparation technique for ICP-MS analysis in which 20 µL of serum can be used for accurate measurement of the calcium isotope distribution in a sample with good precision and a rapid analysis time.

N2  - Predictive models incorporating the effects of temperature on the inactivation by gamma irradiation of the food-borne pathogens Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus were developed and converted to forms suitable for incorporation into the ARS Pathogen Modelling Program. Because industrial radiation processors might use dry ice with frozen samples and up to ambient temperature, a range of -76 to +20°C was included in the study. In each case the survival of the pathogen was greater when the product was frozen at the time of irradiation. L. monocytogenes cells surviving 2 kGy irradiation could multiply on cooked but not on raw turkey meat stored at 7°C for 21 days.

N2  - The Dietary Guidelines for Americans is the official nutrition policy statement for the USA. Government involvement in providing information on private behaviour, such as food choice, is justified by the high cost of poor diets, as measured in medical expenses and lost productivity. The Guidelines are intended to provide an up-to-date, consistent information base for federal nutrition education and information efforts and food assistance programme regulations. Through these policy mechanisms, the Guidelines are assumed to improve dietary behaviour, and, ultimately, health. By law, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans must be updated every five years; however, there is no mandate for evaluation. Evaluation could provide useful information to assess the extent to which the Guidelines positively influence health and provide insights into reasons for their successes and limitations. However, evaluation would also present considerable challenges. This paper discusses the critical data and methodological needs for improving evaluation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

N2  - Insulin resistance leads to the inability of insulin to control the utilization and storage of glucose. It is associated initially with elevated levels of circulating insulin followed by glucose intolerance which may progress to type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. While the causes of these diseases are multifactorial, one nutrient that is associated with all of these abnormalities is chromium. In the presence of biological chromium, much lower levels of insulin are required. Modern diets, which are often high in refined carbohydrates, are not only low in chromium, but lead to enhanced chromium losses. In response to refined carbohydrates consumption, there is a rapid increase in blood sugar leading to elevations in insulin that cause chromium mobilization. Once mobilized, chromium is not reabsorbed but lost via the urine leading to decreased chromium stores. Several studies involving both human subjects and experimental animals have reported improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood glucose, insulin, lipids, haemoglobin A1c, lean body mass and related variables in response to improved chromium nutrition. However, not all studies have reported beneficial effects associated with improved chromium nutrition. Well-controlled human studies are needed to document an unequivocal effect of chromium on insulin sensitivity in human subjects. Studies need to involve a significant number of subjects with insulin resistance, glucose intolerance or early stages of diabetes, who have not been taking supplements containing chromium for at least 4 months, and involve at least 400-600 µg supplemental chromium daily or more. Studies should be at least 4 months to document sustained effects of supplemental chromium on insulin resistance and related variables. Chromium is a nutrient and not a therapeutic agent and therefore will only be of benefit to those whose problems are due to suboptimal intake of chromium.

N2  - Donor countries are providing financial and technical support for global climate change country studies to help African nations meet their reporting needs under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Technical assistance to complete vulnerability and adaptation assessments includes training of analysts, sharing of contemporary tools (e.g. simulation models), data and assessment techniques, information-sharing workshops and an international exchange programme for analysts. This chapter summarizes 14 African country studies (Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe) assessing vulnerabilities to global climate change and identifying adaptation options. The analysis revealed that the participating African countries are vulnerable to global climate change in more than one of the following socio-economic sectors: coastal resources, agriculture, grasslands and livestock, water resources, forests, wildlife, and human health. This vulnerability is exacerbated by widespread poverty, recurrent droughts, inequitable land distribution, environmental degradation, natural resource mismanagement and dependence on rain-fed agriculture. A range of practical adaptation options were identified in key socio-economic sectors of the African nations analysed. However, underdeveloped human and institutional capacity, as well as the absence of adequate infrastructure, renders many traditional coping strategies (rooted in political and economic stability) ineffective or insufficient. Future African country studies should be more closely coordinated with development of national climate change action plans.

N2  - Identifying dietary sources of nutrients by assigning survey foods to food groups can under- or overestimate the contribution a group makes to the intake of specific nutrients. Using calcium and food intakes from USDA's 1994-1996, 1998 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals, the authors determined the proportion of dietary calcium from the dairy, grains, meats, fruits, and vegetables groups using four grouping protocols. Calcium contributions from milk and cheese were higher as more ingredient sources and fewer survey food items were represented in the dairy group. Milk, cheese, and yoghurt reported as separate survey food items contributed 42% of total calcium intake. An additional 21% of dietary calcium came from dairy ingredients in mixed foods such as macaroni and cheese, pizza, sandwiches, and desserts. The remaining dietary calcium sources were single grains (16%); vegetable (7%); meat, poultry, and fish (5%); fruit (3%); and miscellaneous foods (7%). Data quantifying the nutrient contributions from dairy ingredients could affect dietary guidance messages or research using dairy foods as variables.

N2  - Objective: To examine the agreement between individuals' weight status as measured by their body mass index (BMI) and their perceptions of their weight status in the US population. Design: Data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-94 (NHANES III), were used to cross-tabulate actual weight status and self-assessed weight status, identifying population proportions that underassessed or overassessed weight status. The study accounts for gender and socioeconomic and demographic variables to identify subpopulations in which relatively large numbers of individuals misperceive their weight status. Measurements: Survey data included clinically measured height and weight. BMI was categorized (overweight, healthy weight, or underweight) following conventional cutpoints. In addition, each surveyed individual was asked to assess their own (categorical) weight status. Subjects: The sample included 7758 males and 8451 females aged ≥20 years after excluding women who were pregnant or breast feeding. Results: Large segments of the US population misperceived their weight status. The mix of misperceptions differed by gender, with obese or overweight men more likely than obese or overweight women to underassess their weight status. Healthy weight/underweight women were more likely than men to believe they are overweight. In addition to the gender differences, underassessors were more frequently found among those aged ≥65 years, individuals with relatively low education levels, lower income levels, and among non-Hispanic black subjects. Overassessors were more frequently found among women &lt;65 years old (between the ages of 35 and 64 years for men), individuals with higher education levels, higher income levels, and among non-Hispanic white subjects. Conclusions: Information programs linking overweight and obesity with health risks might fail to induce diet and lifestyle changes if individuals fail to recognize they are overweight or obese. While there are large number of individuals who fail to recognize their overweight or obese status, there are indicator variables that can help identify this subpopulation. Thus, it is possible to first target a message that would attempt to correct misperceptions. If successful, the size of the population susceptible to a weight-health risk information programme could increase.

N2  - Iron and zinc are currently the trace minerals of greatest concern when considering the nutritional value of vegetarian diets. With elimination of meat and increased intake of phytate-containing legumes and whole grains, the absorption of both iron and zinc is lower with vegetarian than with nonvegetarian, diets. The health consequences of lower iron and zinc bioavailability are not clear, especially in industrialized countries with abundant, varied food supplies, where nutrition and health research has generally supported recommendations to reduce meat and increase legume and whole-grain consumption. Although it is clear that vegetarians have lower iron stores, adverse health effects from lower iron and zinc absorption have not been demonstrated with varied vegetarian diets in developed countries, and moderately lower iron stores have even been hypothesized to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Premenopausal women cannot easily achieve recommended iron intakes, as modified for vegetarians, with foods alone; however, the benefit of routine iron supplementation has not been demonstrated. It may be prudent to monitor the hemoglobin of vegetarian children and women of childbearing age. Improved assessment methods are required to determine whether vegetarians are at risk of zinc deficiency. In contrast with iron and zinc, elements such as copper appear to be adequately provided by vegetarian diets. Although the iron and zinc deficiencies commonly associated with plant-based diets in impoverished nations are not associated with vegetarian diets in wealthier countries, these nutrients warrant attention as nutritional assessment methods become more sensitive and plant-based diets receive greater emphasis.

N2  - Numerous studies have demonstrated in vitro effects of flavonoid components from fruits and vegetables on various measures of oxidative cellular damage. However, the questions that have not been answered satisfactorily deal with the absorption/metabolism of antioxidant components in fruits and vegetables and whether they are absorbed in sufficient quantities and in a form in which effects on in vivo measures of oxidative cellular damage could be observed. The focus of this review is on clinical studies that provide information about possible in vivo changes in antioxidant status with fruit and vegetable consumption. Two classes of flavonoids as antioxidants are considered in detail (anthocyanins and flavonols). Absorption of anthocyanins appears to be much less than that of the flavonol quercetin, perhaps as little as one tenth. Relatively high dietary levels of anthocyanins appear to be necessary to observe antioxidant effects in vivo. Metabolism of cyanidin 3-glucoside and quercetin by methylation or conjugation with glucuronide or sulfate will decrease antioxidant activity. However, quercetin metabolites seem to maintain at least part of their antioxidant activity in vivo. A potential role for food flavonoids and polyphenolics as antioxidants is discussed.

N2  - Background: Quantitative information on the conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A in humans is limited. Objective: We determined the short- and long-term conversion of labelled β-carotene to vitamin A by using a stable-isotope reference method. Design: [2H8]β-Carotene (11 011 nmol or 6 mg) in oil was given with a liquid diet (25% of energy from fat) to 22 adult volunteers (10 men, 12 women). Three days after the [2H8]β-carotene dose, the volunteers each took a dose of [2H8]retinyl acetate (8915 nmol or 3 mg) in oil with the same liquid diet. Blood samples were collected over 56 days. Results: The 53-day area under the serum [2H4]retinol response curve (from the [2H8]β-carotene dose) was 569±385 nmol/day, and the 53-day area under the serum [2H8]retinol response curve (from the [2H8]retinyl acetate dose) was 1798±1139 nmol/day. With the use of [2H8]retinyl acetate as the vitamin A reference, the [2H4]retinol formed from [2H8]β-carotene (11 011 nmol) was calculated to be equivalent to 3413.9±2298.4 nmol retinol. The conversion factor of β-carotene to retinol varied from 2.4 to 20.2, and the average conversion factor was 9.1 to 1 by weight or 4.8 to 1 by mol. This conversion factor was positively correlated with body mass index (r=0.57, P=0.006). The postabsorption conversion of β-carotene was estimated as 7.8%, 13.6%, 16.4% and 19.0% of the total converted retinol at 6, 14, 21, or 53 days after the [2H8]β-carotene dose, respectively. Conclusion: The quantitative determination of the conversion of β-carotene to vitamin A in humans can be accomplished by using a stable-isotope reference method. This approach provides in vivo metabolic information after a physiological dose of β-carotene.

N2  - The potential of antioxidants to reduce the cellular damage induced by ionizing radiation has been studied in animal models for more than 50 years. The application of antioxidant radioprotectors to various human exposure situations has not been extensive although it is generally accepted that endogenous antioxidants, such as cellular non-protein thiols and antioxidant enzymes, provide some degree of protection. This review focuses on the radioprotective efficacy of naturally occurring antioxidants, specifically antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals, and how they might influence various endpoints of radiation damage. Results from animal experiments indicate that antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin E and selenium compounds, are protective against lethality and other radiation effects but to a lesser degree than most synthetic protectors. Some antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have the advantage of low toxicity although they are generally protective when administered at pharmacological doses. Naturally occurring antioxidants also may provide an extended window of protection against low-dose, low-dose-rate irradiation, including therapeutic potential when administered after irradiation. A number of phytochemicals, including caffeine, genistein, and melatonin, have multiple physiological effects, as well as antioxidant activity, which result in radioprotection in vivo. Many antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals have antimutagenic properties, and their modulation of long-term radiation effects, such as cancer, needs further examination. In addition, further studies are required to determine the potential value of specific antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals during radiotherapy for cancer.

N2  - Little is known about the determinants of individual variability in body weight and fat loss after gastric bypass surgery or about the effects of massive weight loss induced by this surgery on energy requirements. A study was conducted to determine changes in energy expenditure and body composition with weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery and to identify presurgery predictors of weight loss. 30 extremely obese women and men with a mean (±SD) age of 39.0±9.6 years and a body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) of 50.1±9.3 were tested longitudinally under weight-stable conditions before surgery and after weight loss and stabilization (14±2 months). Total energy expenditure (TEE), resting energy expenditure (REE), body composition, and fasting leptin were measured. Subjects lost 53.2±22.2 kg body weight and had significant decreases in REE (-2.4±1.0 MJ/day; P&lt;0.001) and TEE (-3.6±2.5 MJ/day; P&lt;0.001). Changes in REE were predicted by changes in fat-free mass and fat mass. The average physical activity level (TEE/REE) was 1.61 at both baseline and follow-up (P=0.98). Weight loss was predicted by baseline fat mass and BMI but not by any energy expenditure variable or leptin. Measured REE at follow-up was not significantly different from predicted REE. TEE and REE decreased by 25% on average after massive weight loss induced by gastric bypass surgery. REE changes were predicted by loss of body tissue. It is concluded that there was no significant long-term change in energy efficiency that would independently promote weight regain.

N2  - Growth failure often precedes secondary infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected infants and children, suggesting that inadequate protein deposition may be an early manifestation of infection by the virus. However, the protein metabolic response elicited by the virus in young children is unknown. We compared children with HIV infection and age-matched children without HIV infection with regard to whole-body and splanchnic protein kinetics and synthesis of acute phase proteins (APPs). Whole-body and splanchnic leucine kinetics and fractional and absolute synthesis rates of 2 positive and 4 negative APPs were measured in 6 asymptomatic, HIV-infected children (4 males and 2 females) aged 6-17 months and 4 uninfected children (3 females and 1 male) aged 7-9 months who were in the fed state. Compared with the control children, the HIV-infected children had significantly lower dietary energy and protein intakes and leucine balance and significantly faster leucine flux and fractional splanchnic leucine extraction; there was no significant difference between the groups in leucine oxidation rates. The HIV-infected children also had significantly higher plasma concentrations and absolute synthesis rates of the positive APPs and a significantly higher fractional synthesis rate of fibrinogen. The concentrations of 2 of the 4 negative APPs, albumin and HDL apolipoprotein A-I, were significantly lower in the HIV-infected children but were not associated with slower synthesis rates. Children with HIV infection but without secondary infection have reduced protein balance because of an inability to down-regulate protein catabolism. Furthermore, the acute phase protein response elicited by HIV infection is characterized by higher concentrations and synthesis rates of positive APPs without lower concentrations of some negative APPs.

N2  - A virulent Lactobacillus plantarum bacteriophage, ΦJL-1, was isolated from a commercial cucumber fermentation. The phage was specific for two related strains of L. plantarum, BI7 and its mutant (deficient in malolactate fermenting ability) MU45, which have been evaluated as starter cultures for controlled cucumber fermentation and as biocontrol microorganisms for minimally processed vegetable products. The phage genome of ΦJL-1 was sequenced to reveal a linear, double-stranded DNA (36.7 kbp). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) profiles indicated that ΦJL-1 contains six structural proteins (28, 34, 45, 50, 61, and 76 kDa). Electron microscopy revealed that the phage has an isometric head (59 nm in diameter), a long non-contractile tail (182 nm in length and 11 nm in width), and a complex base plate. The phage belongs to the Bradley group B1 or Siphoviridae family. One-step growth kinetics of the phage showed that the latent period was 35 min, the rise period was 40 min, and the average burst size was 22 phage particles/infected cell. Phage particles (90%) adsorbed to the host cells 20 min after infection. Calcium supplementation (up to 30 mM CaCl2) in MRS media did not affect the first cycle of phage adsorption, but promoted rapid phage propagation and cell lysis in the infection cycle subsequent to adsorption. The D values of ΦJL-1 at pH 6.5 were estimated to be 2.7 min at 70 °C and 0.2 min at 80 °C by a thermal inactivation experiment. Knowledge of the properties of L. plantarum bacteriophage ΦJL-1 may be important for the development of controlled vegetable fermentations.

N2  - The impact of gamma irradiation on aroma, appearance, nutritional, textural, and microbiological quality attributes of fresh cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) was investigated. Irradiation at doses up to 2 kGy did not significantly influence aroma, amount of total volatile compounds, color or overall visual quality. Although firmness of cilantro was reduced by irradiation at day 0, there was no significant difference among treatments after 3, 7 and 14 days of storage at 3 °C. Irradiation did not have a consistent effect on antioxidant power or phenolic content during the 14-day storage. In contrast, vitamin C content was lower at day 14 in samples irradiated at 2 and 3 kGy. Cilantro irradiated at 3 kGy had higher decay rate and off-odor scores than other samples after 14 days of storage. The total aerobic plate count of irradiated cilantro was significantly lower than that of nonirradiated controls immediately after irradiation and during the entire storage period. Our results suggest that fresh cilantro irradiated at 2 kGy retained its sensorial quality and shelf life.

N2  - The National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) was designed in 1997 to develop robust and nationally representative estimates of the mean nutrient content of important foods in the food supply and significantly improve the quality of food composition data in the US Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Databank. The underlying aims defining the process behind the NFNAP are: (1) evaluation of existing data; (2) identification of Key Foods and nutrients for analysis; (3) development of nationally based sampling plans; (4) analysis of samples; and (5) compilation and calculation of representative food composition data. Supported by a self-weighting stratified sampling design, the NFNAP approach has been applied to other sampling programs for the analysis of specific nutrients (e.g., fluoride-containing beverages and foods) and ethnic foods (e.g., American Indian foods). For select nutrients of potential health significance, additional sampling approaches allow for the estimation of serving-to-serving variability (e.g., highly processed foods). Under NFNAP, over 500 foods of the targeted 1000 important foods in the US food supply have been analyzed. Unrivaled research on food sampling, sample handling, and analytical methodology (e.g., for study of perishable nutrients in fresh produce) is integral to this effort. The NFNAP data are current, reflective of the market and nationally representative of the US food supply and therefore a crucial resource to health researchers, architects of nutrition policy, the nutrition and medical communities, and the food industry. They are released through the Web site: www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp.

N2  - Background: Test results on the bioavailability of isoflavones in the aglycone or glucoside form in Eastern and Western human subjects are contradictory. Objective: The objective was to investigate the bioavailability of the soya isoflavones, daidzein and genistein, in American women with typical American dietary habits after ingestion of the aglycone or glucoside form of isoflavones. Design: Fifteen American women aged 46±6 years participated in a randomized, double-blind study. Blood samples were collected 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h after consumption of aglycone or glucoside tablets with breakfast. The plasma curves for daidzein, genistein, and equol were constructed and the postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax), time to the maximum concentration (tmax), and area under the curve (AUC) were determined. Results: Isoflavone concentrations peaked early (1-2 h) in plasma and peaked again at 4-8 h. Mean Cmax, tmax, and AUC values for genistein were not significantly different after ingestion of aglycone or glucoside. However, Cmax and AUC values, but not tmax, were significantly higher for daidzein after aglycone ingestion, which was partly due to its higher content in the aglycone tablets. Equol appeared after 4 h and remained elevated after 48 h. Despite a higher content of daidzein in the aglycone tablets, the AUC for equol was significantly higher after ingestion of the glucoside tablets, probably because of the metabolic action of intestinal bacteria during the long intestinal transit time of glucoside. Conclusion: The apparent bioavailability of genistein and daidzein is not different when consumed as either aglycone or glucoside by American women.

N2  - Background: The relative influence of diet and physical activity on body fatness remains uncertain. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate associations of dietary variables and physical activity with body fatness in urban Chinese adults. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 130 weight-stable men and women aged 35-49 years. Subjects were selected from upper and lower tertiles of dietary fat and physical activity on the basis of screening questionnaires. Dietary intake was assessed by weighed food intake, physical activity level (PAL) was calculated as the ratio of predicted total energy expenditure (TEE) to predicted resting energy expenditure, and body composition was measured with the use of 2H2O. Reported energy intake and predicted TEE were validated against TEE determined with the use of 2H218O (n=73). Results: Body fatness was positively associated with dietary variety (i.e., variety of ingredients) (partial r=0.186, P=0.039) and frequency of consuming restaurant foods (partial r=0.237, P=0.001) and negatively associated with PAL (partial r=-0.307, P=0.001) in a multiple regression analysis that controlled for sex and confounders. The combined variance accounted for by dietary variety and restaurant food consumption (9.1%) was equivalent to that for PAL (9.4%). Neither dietary fat nor energy density predicted body fatness, but dietary energy density predicted within-subject day-to-day variation in reported energy intake (P&lt;0.001). Conclusions: Dietary variety, frequency of restaurant food consumption, and PAL significantly predicted body fatness in urban Chinese adults, but dietary fat did not. These findings support previous studies in US adults and suggest that dietary variables other than fat have an important influence on adult body composition.

N2  - An ethanol soluble protein (zein) can be extracted from maize meal. Development of a cost effective protein recovery process requires that the extracted maize particles be separated from the extract. We have previously shown that the particles can be settled into a water layer, through a stagnant interface, with low dilution of the protein-containing extract liquid. In this article, we describe testing done to develop settling tank base inclinations that enable the settled particles to be pumped from the tank as rapidly as they settle to the water layer. Ethanol extracts were pumped to one side of an ethanol solution layer floating on a water layer. The ethanol solution was kept at a constant height by pumping from a port opposite and higher than the inlet port and by maintenance of a constant water layer height. The solid particles in the extract settled into the water. Water was continuously pumped to and from the tank. Laminar water flow alone did not remove the particles at the lowest sustainable extract feed rate. Particles could be pumped out of the tank at rates equal to practical rates of extract feed when they settled on a base inclined 35° to the horizontal. The rate of extract liquid entrainment by the settling particles was determined from measurements of the mass of the solids settled into the water layer and the density of the dilute ethanol solution pumped from the bottom of the tank. The mass ratio of the extract liquid lost:solid particle settled was similar to the corresponding ratio for decanter centrifugation. Settling promises to be a cost-effective method of separating extracted particles from alcoholic extracts with low extract liquid dilution.

N2  - Mycotoxins (ie toxins produced by moulds) are fungal metabolites that can contaminate foods and feeds and cause toxic effects in higher organisms that consume the contaminated commodities. Therefore, mycotoxin contamination of foods and feeds results is a serious food safety issue and affects the competitiveness of US agriculture in both domestic and export markets. This article highlights research accomplished by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) laboratories on control of pre-harvest toxin contamination by using biocontrol, host-plant resistance enhancement and integrated management systems. Emphasis is placed on the most economically relevant mycotoxins, namely aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus, Link, trichothecenes produced by various Fusarium spp. and fumonisins produced by F. verticillioides. Significant inroads have been made in establishing various control strategies such as development of atoxigenic biocontrol fungi that can outcompete their closely related, toxigenic cousins in field environments, thus reducing levels of mycotoxins in the crops. Potential biochemical and genetic resistance markers have been identified in crops, particularly in corn, which are being utilized as selectable markers in breeding for resistance to aflatoxin contamination. Prototypes of genetically engineered crops have been developed which: (1) contain genes for resistance to the phytotoxic effects of certain trichothecenes, thereby helping reduce fungal virulence, or (2) contain genes encoding fungal growth inhibitors for reducing fungal infection. Gene clusters housing the genes governing formation of trichothecenes, fumonisins and aflatoxins have been elucidated and are being targeted in strategies to interrupt the biosynthesis of these mycotoxins. Ultimately, a combination of strategies using biocompetitive fungi and enhancement of host-plant resistance may be needed to adequately prevent mycotoxin contamination in the field. To achieve this, plants may be developed that resist fungal infection and/or reduce the toxic effects of the mycotoxins themselves, or interrupt mycotoxin biosynthesis. This research effort could potentially save affected agricultural industries hundreds of millions of dollars during years of serious mycotoxin outbreaks.

N2  - Physical inactivity has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease similar to that of hypercholesterolemia. However, few studies compare the type of exercise to effects on plasma lipids, especially of postmenopausal women. Premenopausal and postmenopausal subjects participated in resistive (12 subjects) or aerobic (11 subjects) training program for 12 weeks. Triglyceride levels of the postmenopausal women and total and LDL cholesterol of both premenopausal and postmenopausal women were significantly lower after exercise compared to prestudy levels. No significant difference was found in the HDL cholesterol levels. Insulin and C-peptide area under the curve, but not glucose, significantly decreased with both types of exercise. The type of exercise was more important to postmenopausal than premenopausal women, and aerobic exercise had the greater affect (28% decrease) on the cardiovascular risk factor, cholesterol. Based on these results, health professionals can recommend walking as an effective exercise for older women.

N2  - Three major foodborne outbreaks of salmonellosis in 1998 and 1999 were linked to the consumption of raw alfalfa sprouts. In this report, an improved method is described for isolation of Salmonella from alfalfa seed lots, which had been implicated in these outbreaks. From each seed lot, eight samples each containing 25 g of seed were tested for the presence of Salmonella by the US FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) procedure and by a modified method applying two successive pre-enrichment steps. Depending on the seed lot, one to four out of eight samples tested positive for Salmonella by the standard procedure and two to seven out of eight samples tested positive by the modified method. Thus, the use of two consecutive pre-enrichment steps led to a higher detection rate than a single pre-enrichment step. This result indirectly suggested that Salmonella cells on contaminated seeds might be injured and failed to fully resuscitate in pre-enrichment broth containing seed components during the first 24 h of incubation. Responses of heat-injured Salmonella cells grown in buffered peptone water (BPW) and in three alfalfa seed homogenates were investigated. For preparation of seed homogenates, 25 g of seeds were homogenized in 200 ml of BPW using a laboratory Stomacher and subsequently held at 37 °C for 24 h prior to centrifugation and filtration. While untreated cells grew at about the same rate in BPW and in seed homogenates, heat-injured cells (52 °C, 10 min) required approximately 0.5 to 4.0 h longer to resuscitate in seed homogenates than in BPW. This result suggests that the alfalfa seed components or fermented metabolites from native bacteria hinder the repair and growth of heat-injured cells. This study also shows that an additional pre-enrichment step increases the frequency of isolation of Salmonella from naturally contaminated seeds, possibly by alleviating the toxic effect of seed homogenates on repair or growth of injured cells.

N2  - Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunomagnetic electrochemiluminescence (IM-ECL) were used for comparison of the percent recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum in environmental water samples obtained from a spring draining a karst basin. The monoclonal antibodies to C. parvum, isotype IgG3 were used for optimization of the IM-ECL protocol. The combination of biotinylated and TAG-labeled anti-C. parvum antibodies with the streptavidin beads gave a linear regression slope for log ECL vs. log fresh oocysts of 0.79 (from 5 to 5000 oocysts), which indicates a constant ECL signal per oocyst. Standard curves gave a dynamic range of 5 to 5000 oocysts/ml (fresh) and 10 to 100 000 cells/ml (4-month-old oocysts) with the maximum limit of linear detection higher than 100 000. The linear slope of 4-month-old oocysts decreased to 0.62, which indicates that ECL signal is a function of oocyst age. The experiment associated with bead storage time shows that even after 4 months of storage of the biotinylated antibodies, the complex retains the ability for binding the oocysts and generating the ECL signal. Based on the IFA results in the experiment evaluating different protocols for oocysts recovery from karst water samples, the most efficient protocol involved dispersion, followed by flotation and immunomagnetic separation (IMS) (24% recovery). The ECL results obtained in that experiment were very similar to the results obtained in the IFA method, which indicates that the IM-ECL method is accurate. Results of the IFA in the study of the prevalence of C. parvum in the groundwater showed that oocysts were present in 78% of 1 L water samples with average number of oocysts of 6.4±5.5 and ranged from 0 (13 samples) to 23.3 (2 samples). The ECL signal generated from these water samples ranged from 3771 to 622 (average 1620±465). However, the background value estimated in groundwater samples with low number of oocysts detected by IFA was highly variable and elevated (from 3702 to 272, average 1503±475). The background value as a result of nonspecific binding to beads by unidentified organic components in the water can inhibit or even completely mask the signal generated by oocysts. Our investigations showed that the IM-ECL method appears to be promising for the qualitative and quantitative detection of C. parvum from the environmental water; however, the method requires further development to improve sensitivity and account for background signals.

N2  - The heat resistance of a four-strain mixture of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was tested. The temperature range was 55-62.5 °C and the substrate was beef at pH 4.5 or 5.5, adjusted with either acetic or lactic acid. Inoculated meat, packaged in bags, was completely immersed in a circulating water bath and cooked to an internal temperature of 55, 58, 60, or 62.5 °C in 1 h, and then held for pre-determined lengths of time. The surviving cell population was enumerated by spiral plating meat samples on tryptic soy agar overlaid with Sorbitol MacConkey agar. Regardless of the acidulant used to modify the pH, the D-values at all temperatures were significantly lower (P&lt;0.05) in ground beef at pH 4.5 as compared with the beef at pH 5.5. At the same pH levels, acetic acid rendered E. coli O157:H7 more sensitive to the lethal effect of heat. The analysis of covariance showed evidence of a significant acidulant and pH interaction on the slopes of the survivor curves at 55 °C. Based on the thermal-death-time values, contaminated ground beef (pH 5.5/lactic acid) should be heated to an internal temperature of 55 °C for at least 116.3 min and beef (pH 4.5/acetic acid) for 64.8 min to achieve a 4-log reduction of the pathogen. The heating time at 62.5 °C, to achieve the same level of reduction, was 4.4 and 2.6 min, respectively. Thermal-death-time values from this study will assist the retail food processors in designing acceptance limits on critical control points that ensure safety of beef originally contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

N2  - Beef gravy samples inoculated with Clostridium perfringens spores were heat shocked at 75°C for 20 min. Thermotolerance at 100°C was assessed using a submerged-coil heating apparatus. Survivors were enumerated on Shahidi Ferguson Perfringens agar. An association of the heat resistance with the origin of the C. perfringens could not be established due to significant variations in the heat resistance among strains. Interestingly, deviations from classical logarithmic linear declines in the log numbers with time were not observed in both control and heat shocked samples. D-values at 100°C for C. perfringens spores ranged from 15.5 to 21.4 min. Heat shocked spores of 9 out of 10 strains had significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) D-values at 100°C than unstressed spores. Proteins with epitopic and size similarity to Escherichia coli GroEL and Bacillus subtilis small acid-soluble protein, SspC, were present in spores. However, heat shock treated spores did not appear to significantly increase expression of these proteins. Acquired thermotolerance is of substantial practical importance to food processors and should provide useful information for designing thermal treatments to eliminate C. perfringens spores in ready-to-eat foods.

N2  - Background: The conventional deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique provides a quantitative estimate of total body stores of vitamin A in humans. The procedure requires equilibration of serum deuterated retinol with nondeuterated retinol after administration of an oral dose of deuterated vitamin A. Equilibration takes ~3 weeks to complete. Objective: Our goal was to develop a predictive mathematical formula for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A in adults by using a procedure that takes less time to perform because serum isotope equilibration is not required, so that blood drawing can be done 3 days, instead of ~3 weeks, after isotope dosing. Design: Ratios of serum deuterated to nondeuterated retinol (D:H retinol) were determined in Filipino adults (n=68) 3 and 20 days after an oral dose of 0.015 mmol [2H4]retinyl acetate and in Guatemalan adults (n=15) 3 and 21 days after a 0.030-mmol dose. D:H retinol values 20 or 21 days after the isotope dose were used in a mathematical formula to obtain quantitative estimates of total body stores of vitamin A that were then correlated with serum D:H retinol values 3 days after the isotope dose. Results: The relation between these variables was nonlinear and was described by the following equation: total body stores of vitamin A (in mmol retinol)=0.00468×1037(isotope dose in mmol)/D:H retinol in serum 3 days after the isotope dose. Conclusion: A 3-day DRD technique could be used for quantitative assessment of total body stores of vitamin A; this technique takes less time than does the conventional DRD technique.

N2  - Background: The energy requirements of women have been based on total energy expenditure (TEE) derived from the factorial approach or as multiples of basal metabolic rate (BMR). Objective: This study was designed to reevaluate the energy requirements of healthy, moderately active underweight, normal-weight, and overweight women of reproductive age. Design: The energy requirements of 116 women (n=13 with a low body mass index (BMI), n=70 with a normal BMI, and n=33 with a high BMI) were estimated from TEE measured by the doubly labelled water method. Twenty-four-hour EE and BMR were measured by room respiration calorimetry, activity EE was estimated from nonbasal EE as TEE-BMR, and physical activity level was calculated as TEE/BMR. Body composition was derived from a multicomponent model. Fitness, strength, and physical activity level were assessed, and fasting serum indexes were measured. Results: Energy requirements differed among the low-BMI (8.9±0.9 MJ/day), normal-BMI (10.1±1.4 MJ/day), and high-BMI (11.5±1.9 MJ/day) groups (P=0.02-0.001, all pairwise comparisons). Major predictors of BMR, 24-h EE, and TEE were weight, height, and body composition; minor predictors were fasting metabolic profile and fitness. Fat-free mass and fat mass accounted for the differences in EE seen between the BMI groups. The mean physical activity level of 1.86 suggested that the multiples of BMR used to estimate energy requirements have been underestimated. Conclusion: Recommended energy intakes for healthy, moderately active women of reproductive age living in industrialized societies should be revised on the basis of TEE.

N2  - Background: The quantity and type of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can alter essential fatty acid metabolism in humans. Diets rich in 20- and 22-carbon PUFAs may inhibit desaturase expression or activity and decrease the synthesis of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids. Objective: It was theorized that the fat content of a fish-based diet would inhibit the kinetics of the in vivo metabolism of n-3 fatty acids compared with a beef-based diet. Design: A compartmental model was used to determine the coefficients of the kinetic rate constants from the plasma concentration time curves of pentadeuterated (d5) 18:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:5n-3, and 22:6n-3 of 10 subjects who subsisted on 3 diets with different long-chain PUFA contents. For 3 weeks, subjects reported their food intake from their usual diets and then consumed a beef-based diet for 3 weeks and then a fish-based diet for an additional 3 weeks. Subjects consumed 1 g d5-18:3n-3 ethyl ester at weeks 3, 6, and 9. Blood was drawn over 168 h and the plasma analysed for fatty acids. The coefficients of the kinetic constants of n-3 fatty acid metabolism and the percentage utilization of the substrates were determined. Results: Across all diets, &lt;1% of plasma 18:3n-3 was utilized for long-chain PUFA synthesis. There was a 70% reduction in the value of the rate constant coefficient that regulated transfer of the isotope from the 22:5n-3 compartment to 22:6n-3 when the fish-based diet was compared with the beef-based diet. The turnover rate of plasma d5-22:6n-3 also decreased. Conclusions: The primary effect of a fish-based diet on the kinetics of n-3 metabolism involves processes that inhibit the synthesis of 22:6n-3 from 22:5n-3. These processes may involve a system of feedback control mechanisms responsive to the plasma concentration of 22:6n-3.

N2  - Objective: We studied cross-sectional associations between self-reported dietary vitamin K intake and bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine in men and women aged 29-86 years. Design: BMD was measured at the hip and spine in 1112 men and 1479 women (x±SD age, 59±9 years) who participated in the Framingham Heart Study (Massachusetts, USA; 1996-2000). Dietary and supplemental intakes of vitamin K were assessed with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire. Additional covariates included age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity score and menopause status and current oestrogen use among the women. Results: Women in the lowest quartile of vitamin K intake (x, 70.2 µg/day) had significantly (P≤0.005) lower mean (±SEM) BMD at the femoral neck (0.854±0.006 g/cm2) and spine (1.140±0.010 g/cm2) than did those in the highest quartile of vitamin K intake (x, 309 µg/day), with 0.888±0.006 and 1.190±0.010 g/cm2, respectively. These associations remained after potential confounders were controlled for and after stratification by age or supplement use. No significant association was found between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men. Conclusions: Low dietary vitamin K intake is associated with low BMD in women, consistent with previous reports that low dietary vitamin K intake is associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. In contrast, there is no association between dietary vitamin K intake and BMD in men.

N2  - Objective: We tested the hypothesis that children have metabolic flexibility to adapt to HF and HC diets (Texas, USA). Design: In protocol 1, 12 children (aged 6-9 years) and 12 adolescents (aged 13-16 years) were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume low-fat (LF), HC (25 and 60% of energy, respectively) or HF, low-carbohydrate (LC) (55 and 30% of energy, respectively) diets. In protocol 2, 12 adolescents were randomly assigned in a crossover design to consume an LF-HC diet with 11 or 40% of carbohydrate as fructose. Total energy expenditure, nonprotein respiratory quotients (NPRQs) and substrate utilization were measured by using 24-h calorimetry. Effects of sex, puberty, body fat (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), intraabdominal fat (magnetic resonance imaging) and fitness on substrate utilization were tested. Results: Substrate utilization was not affected by puberty, body fat, intraabdominal fat or fitness. Total energy expenditure was not affected by diet. In protocol 1, NPRQs and carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly affected by diet (P=0.001) and sex (P=0.005). NPRQs and carbohydrate utilization increased with the LF-HC diet. NPRQs decreased and fat utilization increased with the HF-LC diet; changes in substrate utilization were less pronounced in females than in males. In protocol 2, 24-h NPRQs and 24-h substrate utilization were not significantly affected by fructose, although net carbohydrate and fat utilization were significantly lower and higher, respectively, with the high-fructose diet during fasting (P=0.01) and in the subsequent feeding period (P=0.05). Conclusion: Healthy, nonobese children and adolescents adapt appropriately to HF and HC diets.

N2  - Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, inoculated into ground beef, was heat-shocked at 46°C for 60 min to enhance stress adaptations and simulate sublethal minimal cooking conditions. The effects of refrigeration at 4°C or freezing at -20°C were examined on pathogen survival prior to or following mild cooking at 60°C. D10-values for heat-shocked samples were elevated as compared to nonheat-shocked controls. Refrigerated and frozen storage did not influence the observed effects. Cellular injury of survivors increased with timed exposure to 60°C. The effects of refrigerated and frozen storage on heat-adapted L. monocytogenes in ground beef did not decrease the potential of the foodborne pathogen to survive additional low temperature cooking of food and raised concerns over the food safety of contaminated, temperature-abused foods.

N2  - Listeria monocytogenes is a common contaminant of ready-to-eat meat products, including frankfurters. Ionizing (gamma) radiation can eliminate L. monocytogenes from frankfurters. Citric acid (CA) is an antioxidant synergist and antimicrobial agent that can be applied to the surfaces of cured meat products prior to packaging. The effect of CA on the radiation resistance of L. monocytogenes that was surface-inoculated onto frankfurters was determined. The D10 values, the radiation doses required to inactivate 90% of viable L. monocytogenes, were 0.61, 0.60, 0.54, and 0.53 kGy, on frankfurters dipped in 0, 1, 5 or 10% CA solution, respectively. CA, although an antioxidant synergist, did not increase antioxidant activity (AA) on frankfurter surfaces as determined by the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Lipid oxidation, as determined by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay, was not affected by CA or ionizing radiation. Colour of frankfurters, determined by Hunter L, a, b, indicated that ionizing radiation induced a small, but visually imperceptible, loss of redness (a-value). Frankfurter firmness, as measured by maximum shear force, was not affected by ionizing radiation or CA. CA enhanced the lethality of ionizing radiation without negatively impacting frankfurter colour, lipid oxidation, firmness, or antioxidant activity.

N2  - The brain is enriched with sphingolipids, which are important membrane constituents and major lipid signaling molecules that have a role in motor and cognitive behavior. Vitamin K has been implicated in brain sphingolipid metabolism for more than 30 years. The in vitro and in vivo studies to date suggest a role of vitamin K in the regulation of multiple enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism within the myelin-rich regions in the brain. However, the precise mechanisms of action are not well understood. Further, the physiological consequences of the observed effects of vitamin K on sphingolipid metabolism have not been systematically studied. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) pays farmers about $2 billion per year to retire cropland under ten- to fifteen-year contracts. Recent research by Wu (2000) found that slippage--an unintended stimulus of new plantings--offsets some of CRP's environmental benefits. In a comment on Wu, we argued CRP enrollments were endogenous and confounded by omitted variables. In his reply, Wu (2005) used results from a Hausman test to argue that CRP enrollments are exogenous. In this rejoinder, we explain why the candidate instrument (erodibility) is likely confounded by omitted variables, so Wu's use of the Hausman test is uninformative.

N2  - This study uses a three-step approach to estimate the impact of global warming on U.S. energy expenditures for space heating and cooling in residential and commercial buildings. First, average results from six different global circulation models are used to estimate the change in heating and cooling degree days in five U.S. climate zones associated with a 1 [degree] centigrade (C) global warming. Second, the change in degree days is mapped into a corresponding change in U.S. energy use for space conditioning, taking account of differences in population and baseline space conditioning intensity levels across regions, under the assumption that desired indoor temperature is unaffected by climate change. Finally, we estimate the associated change in energy expenditures. We find that global warming of 1[degree]C would reduce projected U.S. energy expenditures in 2010 by $5.5 billion (1991 dollars). This contrasts with earlier studies which have suggested modest global warming would increase U.S. on space conditioning energy.

AB  - Although biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) have been discovered for hundreds of bacterial metabolites, our knowledge of their diversity remains limited. Here, we used a novel algorithm to systematically identify BGCs in the extensive extant microbial sequencing data. Network analysis of the predicted BGCs revealed large gene cluster families, the vast majority uncharacterized. We experimentally characterized the most prominent family, consisting of two subfamilies of hundreds of BGCs distributed throughout the Proteobacteria; their products are aryl polyenes, lipids with an aryl head group conjugated to a polyene tail. We identified a distant relationship to a third subfamily of aryl polyene BGCs, and together the three subfamilies represent the largest known family of biosynthetic gene clusters, with more than 1,000 members. Although these clusters are widely divergent in sequence, their small molecule products are remarkably conserved, indicating for the first time the important roles these compounds play in Gram-negative cell biology. • The ClusterFinder algorithm detects BGCs of both known and unknown classes • There exist large and widely distributed BGC families with no characterized members • We show that the most prominent family encodes the biosynthesis of aryl polyenes • The aryl polyene clusters constitute the largest known family of BGCs A new algorithm to mine genomes for secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways is used to identify a widely distributed family of polyketides that may serve as protective agents against oxidative stress.

N2  - A net trade model that includes environmental variables is used to analyze economic and environmental implications of various EC policies. There are environmental benefits from CAP reform, but a fertilizer tax results in greater nitrate and phosphate abatement. The input tax also results in smaller drops in EC farm income compared to CAP reform.

N2  - Factors influencing the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques are studied using survey data from individual vegetable producers from Florida, Michigan, and Texas. Farmers who adopt IPM tend to be less risk averse and use more managerial time on farm activities than nonadopters. Adopters are also more likely to operate large, irrigated farms and use more family labor. Locational factors and the type of crop grown are also influential in IPM adoption. The analysis uses a logit framework and introduces adopter categories first conceptualized by rural sociologists.

N2  - This paper introduces and briefly discusses the economics of two important trade and environment policy issues--international harmonization of environmental standards and the use of trade measures for environmental purposes. Both issues are likely to generate lively international debate among environmentalists, industry representatives, and trade negotiators over the next few years. As the international community seeks new multilateral rules in these areas, agricultural producers will want to know how they will be affected. Thus, this paper also examines the potential impacts of environmental policy on the competitiveness of commodities unique to the Southern region of the United States.

N2  - Pesticide use is regulated within a complex legal framework that includes the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; and other environmental laws. The framework includes risk-benefit rules for some decisions that permit full consideration of comparative performance, cost, and risks of a pesticide and its alternatives before decisions to permit or ban uses. The framework also includes risk-only standards, such as the Delaney Clause, that prohibit such comparisons and can have unintended and undesirable consequences by increasing health or environmental risks while increasing the cost of producing agricultural commodities.

AB  - Abstract: The National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP) was designed to expand the quantity and improve the quality of data in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food composition databases through the collection and analysis of nationally representative samples of foods and beverages. This paper describes some of the findings from the NFNAP and its impact on the food composition databases produced by USDA. The NFNAP employs statistically valid sampling plans, comprehensive quality control, and USDA analytical oversight to generate new and updated analytical data for food components. USDA food consumption and composition data were used to target those foods that are major contributors of nutrients of public health significance to the U.S. diet (454 Key Foods). Foods were ranked using a scoring system, divided into quartiles, and reviewed to determine the impact of changes in their composition compared to historical values. Foods were purchased from several types of locations, such as retail outlets and fast food restaurants in different geographic areas as determined by the sampling plan, then composited and sent for analysis to commercial laboratories and cooperators, along with quality control materials. Comparisons were made to assess differences between new NFNAP means generated from original analytical data and historical means. Recently generated results for nationally representative food samples show marked changes compared to database values for selected nutrients from unknown or non-representative sampling. A number of changes were observed in many high consumption foods, e.g. the vitamin A value for cooked carrots decreased from 1225 to 860 RAE/100g; the fat value for fast food French fried potatoes increased by 21% (14.08–17.06g/100g). Trans fatty acids in margarine have decreased as companies reformulate their products in response to the required addition of trans fatty acids content on the nutrition label. Values decreased from 19.7g/100 in 2002 to 14.8g/100 in 2006 for 80%-fat stick margarines and to 4.52g/100g for 80%-fat tub margarines. These changes reflect improved strategies for sampling and analysis of representative food samples, which enhance the reliability of nutrient estimates for Key Foods and subsequent assessments of nutrient intake.

AB  - Abstract: Although an estimated 50% of adults in the United States consume dietary supplements, analytically substantiated data on their bioactive constituents are sparse. Several programs funded by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health enhance dietary supplement database development and help to better describe the quantitative and qualitative contributions of dietary supplements to total dietary intakes. ODS, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture, is developing a Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) verified by chemical analysis. The products chosen initially for analytical verification are adult multivitamin-mineral supplements (MVMs). These products are widely used, analytical methods are available for determining key constituents, and a certified reference material is in development. Also MVMs have no standard scientific, regulatory, or marketplace definitions and have widely varying compositions, characteristics, and bioavailability. Furthermore, the extent to which actual amounts of vitamins and minerals in a product deviate from label values is not known. Ultimately, DSID will prove useful to professionals in permitting more accurate estimation of the contribution of dietary supplements to total dietary intakes of nutrients and better evaluation of the role of dietary supplements in promoting health and well-being. ODS is also collaborating with the National Center for Health Statistics to enhance the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dietary supplement label database. The newest ODS effort explores the feasibility and practicality of developing a database of all dietary supplement labels marketed in the US. This article describes these and supporting projects.

AB  - Abstract: The Nutrient Data Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is collaborating with the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and other government agencies to design and populate a dietary supplement ingredient database (DSID). This analytically based, publicly available database will provide reliable estimates of vitamin and mineral content of dietary supplement (DS) products. The DSID will initially be populated with multivitamin/mineral (MVM) products because they are the most commonly consumed supplements. Challenges associated with the analysis of MVMs were identified and investigated. A pilot study addressing the identification of appropriate analytical methods, sample preparation protocols, and experienced laboratories for the analysis of 12 vitamins and 11 minerals in adult MVM supplement products was completed. Preliminary studies support the development of additional analytical studies with results that can be applied to the DSID. Total intakes from foods and supplements are needed to evaluate the associations between dietary components and health. The DSID will provide better estimates of actual nutrient intake from supplements than databases that rely on label values alone. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - The natural patterns of bone mass accumulation and loss with age represent the templates of individual life cycle periods that are distinguished by marked, physiologically and genetically identifiable, changes in bone mass. During the third trimester of pregnancy, maternal calcium absorption increases and the fetus accumulates about two-thirds of the total bone mass of the term infant. In early infancy, human milk calcium is derived primarily from maternal bone stores, which incur substantial bone losses that are quickly replenished during and after weaning. At puberty, a marked increase in bone mass occurs in conjunction with the initial physical and hormonal changes that characterize this stage. Calcium absorption and bone calcium deposition rates peak in females shortly before menarche. At that time, the bone calcium deposition rate is approximately five times that of adulthood. Skeletal bone mass reaches over 90% of its maximum by age 18 (earlier in females) but does not peak until age 25–30. At some point in mid-life, women experience perimenopause, the 3- to 5-year period prior to menopause during which estrogen levels begin to drop and there are marked increases in bone resorption and loss. Throughout adulthood, calcium absorption efficiency from the diet gradually declines. Copyright © 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - AbstractWood chips of pine, spruce, aspen, and maple were treated at 135–140°C with diethyl oxalate (DEO) and analyzed for extractable and residual carbohydrates. Under these conditions, DEO hydrolyzes to ethanol and oxalic acid (OA). The amount and identity of carbohydrates released from the chips were species-dependent. For all wood species, increasing the amount of chemical, time, or temperature resulted in an increment in carbohydrates released. Approximately 50 (by wt) of extracted carbohydrates were monosaccharides. In addition, acetic acid was detected in the water extracts. When extracts were subsequently alkaline-treated, more acetate was released, indicating the presence of acetyl esters. The composition of water extracts and of wood chips after treatment indicates that these treatments primarily affect hemicelluloses. In summary, treatment of wood chips with DEO or OA releases carbohydrates suitable for fermentation, with no evidence of cellulose degradation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - AbstractDiethyl oxalate (DEO) was injected into a digester containing wood chips (pine, spruce, or aspen) preheated to 130–140°C and held for 30 min at the same temperature. When mechanical pulps were produced from these pretreated chips, savings in electrical refiner energy could be achieved. For southern yellow pine (Pinus taeda), the electrical refiner energy required to produce pulps with Canadian standard freeness (CSF) of 100 ml was 38– 55 less than for an untreated control. Energy savings were also observed for aspen (Populusspp.) and spruce (Piceaspp.). DEO-treated pine handsheets showed a 26 improvement in tear index compared with a control at 100 ml CSF. Under the pretreatment conditions de-scribed, DEO rapidly vaporizes, reacts with water already present in the chip, and forms an oxalic acid (OA) solution. Reported handsheet properties and energy savings for pine chips treated with a solution of OA are similar to DEO-treated handsheets. It can be concluded that the effect of DEO treatment is due to reactions catalyzed by OA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Estimation of the proportion of a group with inadequate dietary intake relies on computation of the variance of within-person nutrient intake. In lieu of rather large numbers of days of intake data, estimates of such variances from nationally representative surveys have been used. The objective of this study was to compare the stability of estimated within-person variances (WPV) over time, using national food intake surveys. The WPV of intake for men and women from two national surveys (CSFII 1994-96 and NHANES 2003-04) were analyzed using PC-SIDE software and compared to the WPV from NHANES 2001-02 published by the USDA Agriculture Research Service. Variances were calculated for 11 nutrients in 8 age-sex groups. Among all men, WPV were relatively stable across the three surveys for fiber, Vitamin B12, folate, phosphorous, and calcium. Among all women, the WPV were relatively stable for fiber, vitamins B12, E, folate, and zinc. WPV for magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C fluctuated for several age-sex groups. WPV for iron, phosphorous, calcium, zinc, and vitamin E fluctuated for only one or two age-sex groups. For most nutrients, the WPV were relatively stable across the three national surveys investigated; however, for some nutrients, variations in WPV were found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We evaluated the psychometric properties of the revised Healthy Eating Index (HEI), using food and nutrient intake data from the 2001-02 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=8650). Content validity was demonstrated by checking that all key recommendations in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are reflected in the 12 components of the index. Construct validity was established by examining correlations between the components of the index and energy intake and testing the index's ability to distinguish between groups known to have different quality diets. As expected, correlations of energy intake and component scores were low, and smokers' mean total score (44.5) was significantly lower than non-smokers' (54.2), as were 9 of 12 component scores. Correlations among most components and between the total score and most components are quite low; those that correlate most highly with the total score are Calories from Solid Fat, Alcohol, and Added Sugar (.54) and Total Fruit and Whole Fruit (.42-.44). Subsequent analyses suggest the individual components provide additional insight to that of the summary score. The revised HEI includes the key components that make up a quality diet, according to the current Dietary Guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Purpose Of Review: The number of studies investigating interactions between genes and nutrients for cardiovascular disease continues to grow, and holds tremendous potential for reducing disease risk at the level of the individual genotype. However, understanding the limitations and challenges of interaction studies, whether of observational or interventional design, is essential for critical evaluation of these studies.Recent Findings: Nutrient-gene interactions for cardiovascular disease both parallel and extend nutrition studies, encompassing both traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors. Fatty acid quality, lipid metabolism, inflammation, postprandial metabolism, fatty liver and macronutrient-gene interactions for obesity and metabolic syndrome represent a subset of the major areas of recent focus. With few exceptions, however, studies of gene-nutrient interactions are limited to a single population.Summary: Gene-nutrient research will continue to expand as genome-wide association studies uncover new sources of genetic variability associated with cardiovascular risk. However, in addition to investigation of newly discovered variants, continuing efforts must focus on the confirmation of previously reported genetic associations and interactions in additional populations.

AB  - The article focuses on the combination of metabolic and phenotypic analysis of tomato introgression lines to provide chemical markers of fruit quality. In the study of N. Schauer and others, an approach in the improvement quality traits was given due importance through a strategy known as metabolic genomics. Modification of crop breeding strategies and better understanding of the basic plant biology underlying significant fruit quality traits would likely be the result of their study.

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: Increase in the use of conservation practices by agriculture in the United States will enhance soil organic carbon and potentially increase carbon sequestration. This, in turn, will decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. A number of studies exist that calibrate the contribution of various individual, site-specific conservation practices on changes in soil organic carbon. There is a general absence, however, of a comprehensive effort to measure objectively the contribution of these practices including conservation tillage, the Conservation Reserve Program, and conservation buffer strips to a change in soil organic carbon. This paper fills that void. After recounting the evolution of the use of the various conservation practices, it is estimated that organic carbon in the soil in 1998 in the United States attributable to these practices was about 12.2 million metric tons. By 2008, there will be an increase of about 25%. Given that there is a significant potential for conservation practices to lead to an increase in carbon sequestration, there area number of policy options that can be pursued

AB  - HEALTHLIT Abstract: Currently, paratuberculosis vaccines are comprised of crude whole-cell preparations of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Although effective in reducing clinical disease and fecal shedding, these vaccines have severe disadvantages as well, including seroconversion of vaccinated animals and granulomatous lesions at the site of vaccination. DNA vaccines can offer an alternative approach that may be safer and elicit more protective responses. In an effort to identify protective M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis sequences, a genomic DNA expression library was generated and subdivided into pools of clones (~1,500 clones/pool). The clone pools were evaluated to determine DNA vaccine efficacy by immunizing mice via gene gun delivery and challenging them with live, virulent M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Four clone pools resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis recovered from mouse tissues compared to mice immunized with other clone pools and nonvaccinated, infected control mice. One of the protective clone pools was further partitioned into 10 clone arrays of 108 clones each, and four clone arrays provided significant protection from both spleen and mesenteric lymph node colonization by M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis. The nucleotide sequence of each clone present in the protective pools was determined, and coding region functions were predicted by computer analysis. Comparison of the protective clone array sequences implicated 26 antigens that may be responsible for protection in mice. This study is the first study to demonstrate protection against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection with expression library immunization

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Soil is a source of primary inoculum for Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, fungi that produce highly carcinogenic aflatoxins in peanuts. Aflatoxigenic fungi commonly invade peanut seeds during maturation, and the highest concentrations of aflatoxins are found in damaged seeds. A laboratory procedure was developed in which viable peanut seeds were wounded and inoculated with field soil containing natural populations of fungi, then incubated under different conditions of seed water activity and temperature. Densities of Aspergillus section Flavi in soil used for inoculating seeds were low relative to the total numbers of filamentous fungi (<1%). Aspergillus species from section Flavi present in soil included A. flavus morphotypes L and S strains, A. parasiticus, A. caelatus, A. tamarii and A. alliaceus. Wounding was required for high incidences of fungal colonization; viability of wounded seeds had little effect on colonization by Aspergillus species. Peanut seeds were colonized by section Flavi species as well as A. niger over broad ranges of water activity (0.82-0.98) and temperature (15-37 C), and the highest incidences of seed colonization occurred at water activities of 0.92-0.96 at 22-37 C. A. parasiticus colonized peanut seeds at lower temperatures than A. flavus, and cool soil temperatures relative to temperatures of aerial crop fruits might explain why A. parasiticus is found mostly in peanuts. Other fungi, dominated by the genera Penicillium, Fusarium and Clonostachys, colonized seeds primarily at water activities and temperatures suboptimal for section Flavi species and A. niger. Eupenicillium ochrosalmoneum frequently sporulated on the conidial heads of section Flavi species and showed specificity for these fungi. The inoculation of wounded viable peanut seeds with soil containing natural populations of fungi provides a model system for studying the infection process, the interactions among fungi and those factors important in aflatoxin formation

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Colonic spirochetosis is a disease caused by the gram-negative bacteria Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli. B. pilosicoli induces disease in both humans and animals, whereas B. aalborgi affects only humans and higher primates. Symptoms in humans include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal cramps. Colonic spirochetosis is common in third world countries; however, in developed countries, the disease is observed mainly in homosexual males. Terminally ill patients infected with Brachyspira are particularly at risk for developing spirochetemia. Diarrhea, poor growth performance, and decreased feed-to-gain efficiency is seen in pigs with colonic spirochetosis. The disease in chickens is characterized by delayed and/or reduced egg production, diarrhea, poor feed conversion, and retarded growth. Thus, colonic spirochetosis can represent a serious economic loss in the swine and poultry industries. The organisms are transmitted by the fecal-oral route, and several studies have demonstrated that human, primate, pig, dog, or bird strains of B. pilosicoli can be transmitted to pigs, chickens, and mice. B. pilosicoli may be a zoonotic pathogen, and although it has not been demonstrated, there is a possibility that both B. pilosicoli and B. aalborgi can be transferred to humans via contact with the feces of infected animals, meat from infected animals, or food contaminated by food handlers. Neither B. pilosicoli nor B. aalborgi has been well characterized in terms of basic cellular functions, pathogenicity, or genetics. Studies are needed to more thoroughly understand these Brachyspira species and their disease mechanisms

N2  - An estimate of the lag phase duration is an important component for predicting the growth of a bacterium and for creating process models and risk assessments. Most current research and data for predictive modeling programs initiated growth studies with cells grown to the stationary phase in a favorable pH, nutrient and temperature environment. In this work, Listeria monocytogenes Scott A cells were grown in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth at different temperatures from 4 to 37 °C to the exponential growth or stationary phases. Additional cells were suspended in a dilute broth, desiccated or frozen. These cells were then transferred to BHI broth at various temperatures from 4 to 37 °C and the lag phase durations were determined by enumerating cells at appropriate time intervals. Long lag phases were observed for cells initially grown at high temperatures and transferred to low temperatures. In general, exponential growth cells had the shortest lag phases, stationary phase and starved cells had longer, frozen cells had slightly longer and desiccated cells had the longest lag phases. These data were from immediate temperature transitions. When a computer-controlled water bath linearly changed the temperature from 37 to 5 °C over a 3.0- or 6.0-h period, the cells had short lags and grew continuously with declining growth rates. Transitions of 0.75 or 1.0 h had 20-h lag phases, essentially that of immediate transitions. When the transition was 1.5 h, an intermediate pattern of less than 1 log of growth followed by no additional growth for 20 h occurred.

N2  - The objective of this study was to develop a new methodology to describe and categorize accurately the bacterial growth as a process using Clostridium perfringens as a test organism. This methodology utilized 5 linear segments represented by 5 linear models to categorize a bacterial growth process into lag, first transitional, exponential, second transitional, and stationary phases. Bacterial concentration in frozen ground beef samples inoculated with 3 strains of C. perfringens was determined. The growth curves described in this paper using multiple linear models were more accurate than the traditional 3-segment linear models, and were statistically equivalent to the Gompertz models. With the growth rates of transitional phases set to one-third of the exponential phase, the durations of the lag, first transitional, exponential, and second transitional phases in a growth curve described by the new method were correlated linearly. Since this linear relationship was independent of temperature, a complete 5-segment growth curve could be generated from the maximum growth rate and a known duration of the first 4 growth phases. Moreover, the lag phase duration defined by the new method was a linear function of the traditional lag phase duration calculated from the Gompertz equation. With this relationship, the 2 traditional parameters (lag phase and maximum growth rate) used in a 3-segment linear model can be used to generate a more accurate 5-segment linear growth curve without involving complicated mathematical calculations.

N2  - Background - Gene-nutrient interactions affecting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations may contribute to the interindividual variability of the cardiovascular disease risk associated with dietary fat intake. Hepatic lipase (HL) is a key determinant of HDL metabolism. Four polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium have been identified in the HL gene (LIPC), defining what is known as the -514T allele. This allele has been associated with decreased HL activity and increased HDL-C concentrations. However, the effect is variable among populations. Methods and Results - We have examined interaction effects between the -514(C/T) LIPC polymorphism, dietary fat, and HDL-related measures in 1020 men and 1110 women participating in the Framingham Study. We found a consistent and highly significant gene-nutrient interaction showing a strong dose-response effect. Thus, the T allele was associated with significantly greater HDL-C concentrations only in subjects consuming &lt;30% of energy from fat (P&lt;0.001). When total fat intake was ≥30% of energy, mean HDL-C concentrations were lowest among those with the TT genotype, and no differences were observed between CC and CT individuals. We found similar gene-nutrient interactions when the outcome variables were HDL2-C (P&lt;0.001), large HDL subfraction (P&lt;0.001), or HDL size (P=0.001). These interactions were seen for saturated and monounsaturated fat intakes (highly correlated with animal fat in this population), but not for polyunsaturated fat. Conclusions - Dietary fat intake modifies the effect of the -514(C/T) polymorphism on HDL-C concentrations and subclasses. Specifically, in the Framingham Study, TT subjects may have an impaired adaptation to higher animal fat diets that could result in higher cardiovascular risk.

N2  - Background: Immune structure and function are more compromised in oedematous protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) than in nonoedematous PEM. Whether the positive acute-phase protein (APP) response to infection is affected remains unknown. Objective: We assessed whether children with oedematous PEM can mount a general APP response and compared the kinetic mechanisms of the response in children with oedematous PEM with those in children with nonoedematous PEM. Design: All subjects were recruited from children admitted to the Tropical Metabolism Research Unit of the University of the West Indies in Jamaica for the management of severe malnutrition [date not given]. Plasma C-reactive protein, α1-acid glycoprotein, α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen concentrations and the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen were measured in 14 children with oedematous PEM, aged 11.4±2 months, and 9 children with nonoedematous PEM, aged 10.1±1.4 months, at 3 times: ~2 days after hospital admission (period 1), when they were malnourished and infected; ~8 days after admission (period 2), when they were malnourished but free of infection; and ~54 days after admission (period 3), when they had recovered. Results: Children with oedematous and nonoedematous PEM had higher plasma concentrations of 4 of 5 APPs in period 1 than in period 3. The magnitude of the difference in concentration and in the rate of synthesis of the individual APPs was less in the children with oedematous PEM than in those with nonoedematous PEM. The kinetic data show that the characteristics of the APP response were different in the 2 groups. Conclusions: These results suggest that severely malnourished children can mount only a partial APP response to the stress of infection and that the magnitude of this response is less in those with oedema.

N2  - Background: High body iron stores may increase the risk of several chronic diseases. Whether dietary factors contribute to the risk of high iron stores is unknown. Objective: We assessed the relation between dietary factors and the risk of high iron stores in the elderly Framingham Heart Study cohort. Initiated in 1948-50, the Framingham Heart Study was conducted in Massachusetts, USA, to evaluate risk factors for heart diseases. Design: We examined the relation between the usual intake of dietary factors (food-frequency questionnaire) and the risk of high iron stores (serum ferritin&gt;300 and 200 µg/litre in men and women, respectively) in 614 subjects aged 68-93 years. Results: The risk of high iron stores was significantly higher (1) in subjects who took ≥30 mg supplemental Fe/day than in nonusers (odds ratio (OR): 4.32; 95% CI: 1.63, 11.47), (2) in subjects who consumed &gt;21 servings of fruit/week than in those who consumed ≤14 servings/week (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.26, 6.61), and (3) in subjects who consumed &gt;4 but &lt;7 or ≥7 servings of red meat/week than in those who consumed ≤4 servings/week (ORs: 2.94 and 3.61, respectively; 95% CIs: 1.33, 6.47 and 1.57, 8.27, respectively). Whole-grain intake (&gt;7 servings/week) was inversely associated (OR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.75). Conclusions: Among elders, intakes of highly bioavailable forms of iron (supplemental iron and red meat) and of fruit, a dietary source of an enhancer of nonhaem-iron absorption (vitamin C), promote high iron stores, whereas foods containing phytate (whole grains) decrease these stores. Individual dietary patterns may be important modulators of high iron stores.

N2  - Background: The recent increase in the dietary calcium recommendation from 800 to 1200 mg/day for persons aged &gt;51 years has made it important to identify alternative high-calcium dietary sources that the elderly can use in meeting their calcium requirement. Objective: We determined the bioavailability of calcium from 3 different sources: orange juice fortified with calcium-citrate malate, skim milk, and a calcium carbonate supplement. Design: Twelve subjects (9 women and 3 men with a mean (±SEM) age of 70±3 and 76±6 years, respectively) consumed low-calcium (300 mg/day) and high-calcium (1300 mg/day) diets for three 1-week periods each during a 6-week crossover study. The acute biochemical response to calcium from each of the 3 sources was assessed during a 4-h period after the initial breakfast meal of the high-calcium diet. Results: Postprandial suppression of serum parathyroid hormone did not differ significantly between the test meals containing calcium-fortified orange juice, the calcium carbonate supplement, and milk. This finding suggests that the calcium bioavailability from the 3 sources was equivalent. During the 1-week high-calcium diet periods, fasting serum calcium increased by 3% (P&lt;0.0001), serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D decreased by 20% (P&lt;0.0001), and a biomarker of bone resorption (serum N-telopeptide collagen cross-links) decreased by 14% (P&lt;0.02) compared with the low-calcium diet period. However, no differences among the supplemental calcium sources were found in these calcium-responsive measures or fasting serum parathyroid hormone concentration. Conclusions: In elderly subjects, the calcium bioavailability of the 3 high-calcium dietary sources tested was equivalent, during both the acute postprandial and longer-term periods.

N2  - Background: There are limited data about dietary intakes and plasma lipids of elderly US Hispanics. Objective: The disparity in prevalence of type 2 diabetes among population groups underscored our need to assess dietary and plasma risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Design: Plasma lipids and apolipoproteins and dietary intakes of macronutrients were measured in elderly subjects aged 60-98 years (490 Hispanics of Caribbean origin (Puerto Ricans and Dominicans) and 163 non-Hispanic whites) living in Massachusetts, USA [date not given]. Plasma values were related to ethnicity and to macronutrient intake. Differences in plasma lipids due to diabetes were assessed among the Hispanics. Results: Intakes of carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher and intakes of cholesterol and saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were lower in Hispanics than in non-Hispanic whites. Concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A-I were significantly lower among Hispanic women than among non-Hispanic white women; a similar trend was seen in men. Dyslipidaemia (high triacylglycerols and low HDL cholesterol) was more prevalent among Hispanics with than without diabetes. Conclusions: Ethnic differences in serum lipids exist and appear to be associated with differences in dietary intakes. However, both Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites had lipid profiles indicating a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Hispanics with diabetes were at higher risk of dyslipidaemia than were those without diabetes. Our data suggest that lifestyle changes, including diet modification and exercise, could be of significant benefit to both ethnic groups.

N2  - Evidence is emerging that dietary phytoestrogens play a beneficial role in obesity and diabetes. Nutritional intervention studies performed in animals and humans suggest that the ingestion of soya protein associated with isoflavones and flaxseed rich in lignans improves glucose control and insulin resistance. In animal models of obesity and diabetes, soya protein has been shown to reduce serum insulin and insulin resistance. In studies of human subjects with or without diabetes, soya protein also appears to moderate hyperglycaemia and reduce body weight, hyperlipidaemia, and hyperinsulinaemia, supporting its beneficial effects on obesity and diabetes. However, most of these clinical trials were relatively short and involved a small number of patients. Furthermore, it is not clear whether the beneficial effects of soya protein and flaxseed are due to isoflavones (daidzein and genistein), lignans (matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol), or some other component. Isoflavones and lignans appear to act through various mechanisms that modulate pancreatic insulin secretion or through antioxidative actions. They may also act via oestrogen receptor-mediated mechanisms. Some of these actions have been shown in vitro, but the relevance of these studies to in vivo disease is not known. The diversity of cellular actions of isoflavones and lignans supports their possible beneficial effects on various chronic diseases. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of phytoestrogens on obesity and diabetes mellitus and their associated possible complications.

N2  - Avenanthramides are a group of alkaloids that consist of an anthranilic acid derivative linked to a hydroxycinnamic acid derivative by a pseudo peptide bond, which are constituents of oat (Avena sativa) grain. The three most abundant avenanthramides, N-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bf), N-(4′-hydroxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bp), and N-(3′,4′-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (Bc), were synthesized and purified. These were tested for antioxidant activity using two in vitro systems: inhibition of β-carotene bleaching and reaction with the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Each avenanthramide displayed antioxidant activity in both systems. Bc had greater activity than Bp and Bf. Bc was nearly as active as the standard synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in the β-carotene system. In the DPPH system, Bc and Bf were more active than 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox®). The relative activities of the avenanthramides corresponded to those determined for their component hydroxycinnamic acid moieties using an aqueous DPPH system or in a lipophilic system that measured the autoxidation of methyl linoleate.

N2  - Increased phytase activity for Aspergillus niger NRRL 3135 phytaseA (phyA) at intermediate pH levels (3.0-5.0) was achieved by site-directed mutagenesis of its gene at amino acid residue 300. A single mutation, K300E, resulted in an increase of the hydrolysis of phytic acid of 56 and 19% at pH 4.0 and 5.0, respectively, at 37°C. This amino acid residue has previously been identified as part of the substrate specificity site for phyA and a comparison of the amino acid sequences of other cloned fungal phytases indicated a correlation between a charged residue at this position and high specific activity for phytic acid hydrolysis. The substitution at this residue by either another basic (R), uncharged (T), or acidic amino acid (D) did not yield a recombinant enzyme with the same favourable properties. Therefore, we conclude that this residue is not only important for the catalytic function of phyA, but also essential for imparting a favourable pH environment for catalysis.

N2  - Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes cachexia, a metabolic response characterized by loss of muscle mass and elevated resting energy expenditure (REE). However, energy expenditure in physical activity in subjects with RA is lower than that in healthy subjects. It is not known which effect predominates in regulating total energy expenditure (TEE), and thus whether the dietary energy requirements of subjects with RA are higher or lower than those of healthy subjects. Objective: Our objective was to determine TEE in women with RA by using the reference method of doubly labelled water (2H218O). Design: In this case-control study, we examined 20 women with RA and 20 healthy women who were matched for age and body mass index. All patients were recruited from the Itzhak Perlman Family Arthritis Center at the New England Medical Center in Massachusetts, USA [date not given]. Results: The patients with RA were cachectic (their body cell mass was 14% lower than that of the controls, P&lt;0.001), but REE was not elevated, reflecting good disease control. Mean (±SD) TEE was 1344 kJ/day lower in the patients than in the controls (9133±1335 compared with 10 477±1992 kJ/day; P&lt;0.02). The energy expenditure in physical activity of the patients was 1034 kJ/day lower than that of the controls (P&lt;0.04), which accounted for 77% of the difference in TEE between the 2 groups. The physical activity level (TEE/REE) of the patients also tended to be lower than that of the controls (1.70±0.24 compared with 1.89±0.36; P&lt;0.07). Conclusion: A low physical activity level is the main determinant of lower-than-normal TEE, and thus energy requirements, in women with RA.

N2  - Objective: This study examines the extent to which food insecurity and hunger in US households are occasional, recurring, or frequent/chronic. Design/Variables: The federal food security scale measures the severity of food insecurity in surveyed households and classifies households as to their food security status during the previous year. The Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement (CPS-FSS) collects the data elements used to calculate the food security scale. Supplementary data on the frequency of occurrence of the behaviours and experiences comprising the food security scale are also collected by the CPS-FSS, but most of this information is not included in the food security scale. This study analyses these supplementary data along with the food security scale and its constituent items using data from the Food Security Supplement of the nationally representative CPS conducted in August 1998. Results: About two thirds of households classified as food insecure by the federal food security scale experience the condition as recurring, and around one fifth experience these conditions as frequent or chronic. The monthly prevalence of hunger is about 60% of the annual prevalence, and the daily prevalence is about 13% to 18% of the annual prevalence. Conclusions and Implications: Nutritionists can use these findings to enhance the informative value of food insecurity and hunger statistics from national, state, and local surveys when interpreting them to policy makers and to the general public.

N2  - Aims: DuPont Qualicon recently developed a new PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay for the identification of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. We evaluated the selectivity and utility of this assay compared with a PCR method already in use in our laboratory. Methods and Results: A group of 133 Campylobacter isolates from poultry carcass rinse samples were screened using the commercial PCR and standard PCR. Identical results were found for 89.5% (119/133) of the isolates. However, 10.5% (14/133) gave conflicting results suggesting mixed cultures. These 14 strains were retested by both PCR methods. Of these, 78.6% (11/14) showed identical results for both PCR methods after retesting; the results for the remaining 21.4% (3/14) again indicated mixed cultures. Conclusions, Significance and Impact of Study: The new multiplex PCR is a rapid and accurate alternative to more conventional PCR methods. The persistence of mixed Campylobacter cultures noted in this study suggests that certain strains may be very difficult to isolate clonally by standard culture methods.

N2  - The mould Fusarium graminearum is found worldwide as a pathogen of cereal grains, in particular of wheat and maize, and it produces a mycotoxin known as deoxynivalenol (DON or vomitoxin). Each year, the presence of this compound and related trichothecenes causes substantial losses to agricultural productivity. Rapid methods for the measurement of the toxin in grains are required to monitor and divert effectively contaminated grain from the food supply. A fluorescence polarization (FP) immunoassay using a previously described monoclonal antibody for DON was developed. The assay was based on the competition of unlabeled DON from a sample with a fluorescently tagged DON, DON-fluorescein (DON-FL), for a DON-specific monoclonal antibody in solution. The FP of the tagged DON was increased upon binding with the antibody. In the presence of free toxin, less of the DON-FL was bound and the polarization signal was decreased. The assays were very simple to perform, requiring only mixing of an aqueous extract of wheat with the DON-FL and antibody. The sensitivity of the assay was strongly dependent upon the time between mixing of the sample with the tracer and measurement of the fluorescence polarization, with midpoints for the competition curves ranging from 0.03 µg/ml with a 15-s incubation to &gt;1 µg/ml with a 12-minute incubation. Samples of wheat naturally contaminated with DON were evaluated by FP and by an HPLC-UV method, with a good correlation (r2=0.97). Although the FP method tended to overestimate DON slightly in the wheat samples, by ~20%, the assay was easy to use and very useful for the screening of wheat.

N2  - Background: Energy requirements and nutrient intakes are commonly estimated from self-reported dietary records, but such estimation has proven to be unreliable. When energy intakes determined from dietary records are compared with energy expenditures measured with the use of doubly labelled water, the former consistently underestimate energy requirements and have a high degree of variability. Objective: The objective of this study was to reduce the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records through the use of stepwise multiple regression analysis to develop models that relate energy expenditure measured with the use of doubly labelled water to energy intake from dietary records, sex and fat-free mass (or weight and height). Design: Data from 54 healthy adult men and women aged 32-82 years who participated in studies at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland, USA were used to develop these models. Results: Fat-free mass, energy intake and sex accounted for 86% of the variability in energy expenditure, whereas energy intake, sex, height and weight accounted for 83%. When the model relating fat-free mass, energy intake and sex to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records from -17±27% to 3±16%. When the model relating energy intake, sex, weight and height to energy expenditure was tested on published data, it reduced the bias and variability of self-reported dietary records from -19±25% to -0.3±19%. Conclusion: Results from this study indicate that a simple relation can be used to correct self-reported dietary records to estimated energy requirements.

N2  - Background: Although the reduction in whole-body protein turnover and net protein loss induced by protein energy malnutrition (PEM) has been well documented, it is unclear whether the protein-sparing mechanisms elicited by chronically inadequate intakes of dietary protein and energy are affected by the protein catabolic response to infection. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether the presence of infection alters the PEM-induced reduction in whole-body protein metabolism. Design: We determined whole-body leucine kinetics in 4 boys and 3 girls aged 6-15 months who were admitted to the Tropical Research Unit, University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica with oedematous PEM and infection ~3 days after admission (study 1), when they were both infected and malnourished; ~11 days after admission (study 2), when infection had resolved but they were still anthropometrically malnourished; and at recovery (study 3), when weight-for-length was at least 90% of that expected. Results: The children had significantly less leucine flux in both study 1 and study 2 than they had in study 3. There were no significant differences in the amount of leucine released from protein breakdown or used for protein synthesis between study 1 and study 2. There were no significant differences in leucine balance or in either the amount or percentage of enteral leucine extracted by the splanchnic tissues among the 3 studies. Conclusions: When subjects are in the fed state, severe PEM induces a marked reduction in whole-body protein synthesis and breakdown rates, and the presence of infection does not alter this adaptation and hence the overall protein balance. A corollary is that children with severe PEM do not mount a protein catabolic response to infection.

N2  - This paper presents a model for predicting small-to-moderate relative growth of Clostridium perfringens during cooling of certain cooked cured chicken products, which is assumed not to be dependent upon the initial levels of the population when between 10 and 104 cfu per g. The growth of C. perfringens was assessed in chicken supplemented with curing salts, cooked slowly to 60°C and then rapidly cooled to a specified temperature. Rather than assuming that the parameters that describe growth kinetics are constant for a given temperature, it is assumed that they are random variables with expected values and standard deviations for a given cooling event. Estimates of the parameters were made by 2 procedures: the standard two-stage approach that is commonly used in predictive microbiology, and a non-linear mixed effects procedure, based on a system of equations with the observed plate counts as the dependent variable. The standard procedure involved using SUR regression procedures and analyses of variances. The derived estimates of the 2 procedures were very close. The similarity would favour using the non-linear mixed effects procedures because of its simplicity when used in software systems such as S-Plus and SAS. However, the standard approach allows the analyst to examine the data more closely, getting a better 'feel' for the data. It is recommended that non-linear mixed effects analyses be used because these account for the correlations that exist in microbiological data of the type in this study, but that such analyses be accompanied by a less formal data analyses that are used in the two-stage approach to help formulate the model. Finally, the predictions are sensitive to an assumed value for the ratio of the lag to generation times; the between-experimental variability associated with this statistic is relatively large compared to that of the exponential growth rate. Thus, more research is needed to obtain better understanding of this ratio.

N2  - Objective: Consumption of a meal high in amylose starch (70%) decreases peak insulin and glucose levels and area under the curve (AUC). The objective was to determine the amount of amylose necessary in a meal for the beneficial decrease in glucose or insulin to occur. Design: Twenty-five subjects, 13 men (averaging 88.1 kg, 41 years, and 27.9 body mass index) and 12 women (averaging 72.4 kg, 41 years and 27.1 body mass index) were given six tolerance tests in a Latin Square design: glucose alone (one g glucose/kg body weight) and five breads (1 g carbohydrate/kg body weight) made with 70% amylose cornstarch, standard cornstarch (30% amylose), and blends of the two starches (40, 50 and 60% amylose starch) at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center's Human Diet Facility in Beltsville, Maryland, USA. A standard menu was fed for 3 days. One subject withdrew from the study. Results: Glucose, insulin and glucagon response to the carbohydrate loads was similar in men and women. Peak glucose response was lowest after the breads containing 50-70% amylose starch. AUC was significantly higher after the glucose load than after all bread loads. The lowest AUCs occurred after the 60 and 70% amylose starch breads. Insulin response and AUC were significantly lower after the 60 and 70% amylose starch breads than after the glucose or the other breads. Conclusion: Results indicate that the amylose content of the starch used in the acute meal needs to be greater than 50% to significantly reduce plasma glucose and insulin in men and women.

N2  - Excess iron (Fe) intake has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in humans, presumably the result of increased oxidative stress. Previous work by us has shown that feeding a high-Fe diet to selenium (Se)-deficient weaning mice for 4 weeks resulted in elevated plasma cholesterol and triglycerides and increased hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Here, we report the effect of Fe overload in mice lacking cellular glutathione peroxidase (GPX1 knockout (KO) mice), the selenoenzyme thought to account for much of the antioxidant action of Se. Four groups of 9-13 weaning wild-type (WT) or GPX1 KO mice were randomly assigned, then fed either an Fe-adequate (35 ppm Fe) or high-Fe (1100 ppm Fe) casein-based diet for 4 weeks. Iron was added as ferric citrate. Both diets also contained 0.2 ppm Se added as sodium selenite. As expected, liver GPX1 activity was essentially absent in the KO mice. Another Se parameter measured (hepatic thioredoxin reductase activity) did not vary across groups. Although liver Fe was elevated in mice fed the high-Fe diet, liver TBARS was largely unaffected either by mouse genotype or diet fed. Moreover, plasma lipids were not elevated in the Fe-overloaded GPX1 KO mice. Thus, decreased GPX1 activity cannot account for the pro-oxidant hyperlipidaemic effects observed earlier in mice fed the high-Fe Se-deficient diet. This suggests that impairment of Se functions other than GPX1 activity may be responsible for the elevated plasma lipids and hepatic TBARS seen in the Fe-overloaded Se-deficient mice.

N2  - Background: Estimates of body composition change in older adults are mostly derived from cross-sectional data. Objective: We examined the natural longitudinal patterns of change in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in older adults and explored the effect of physical activity, weight change and age on these changes [USA]. Design: The body composition measured by hydrodensitometry and the level of sports and recreational activity (SRA) of 53 men and 78 women with a mean (±SD) initial age of 60.7±7.8 years were examined on 2 occasions separated by a mean (±SD) time of 9.4±1.4 years. Results: FFM decreased in men (2.0% per decade) but not in women, whereas FM increased similarly in both sexes (7.5% per decade). Levels of SRA decreased more in men than in women over the follow-up period. Baseline age and level of SRA were inversely and independently associated with changes in FM in women only. Neither age nor level of SRA was associated with changes in FFM in men or women. Weight-stable subjects lost FFM. FFM accounted for 19% of body weight in those who gained weight, even in the presence of decreased levels of SRA. Loss of FFM (33% of body weight) was pronounced in those who lost weight, despite median SRA levels &gt;4184 kJ/week. Conclusions: On average, FM increases; however, the increase in women is attenuated with advancing age. The decrease in FFM over the follow-up period was small and masked the wide interindividual variation that is dependent on the magnitude of weight change. The contribution of weight stability, modest weight gains, or lifestyle changes that include regular resistance exercise in attenuating lean-tissue loss with age should be explored.

N2  - Background: Calcium absorption is enhanced by the presence of lactose, but the quantitative significance of this effect in infant formulae is uncertain. It is also not known whether lactose affects zinc absorption. Objective: We measured the absorption of calcium and zinc from infant formulae by using a multitracer, stable-isotope technique [USA]. Design: Eighteen full-term infants (aged 8-12 weeks at enrolment) were fed 2 partially hydrolysed whey-protein-based formulae ad libitum for 2 weeks per formula. The carbohydrate source was lactose in one formula and glucose polymers in the other (lactose-free). Infants were studied in a blinded crossover fashion after 2 weeks of adaptation to each formula. Isotope absorption studies were conducted with a 4-tracer method in which 70Zn and 44Ca were provided orally and 67Zn and 46Ca intravenously. Zinc and calcium absorption was measured from the fractional excretion of the oral and intravenous isotopes in urine. Results: Fractional and total calcium absorption was significantly greater from the lactose-containing formula than from the lactose-free formula. For total calcium absorption, the mean difference between formulae was 10.3% (P=0.002) and 60 mg/day (P=0.006). For zinc, fractional absorption (32±11%), total absorption, and intake did not differ significantly between the 2 formulae. Conclusions: The presence of lactose in a formula based on cow-milk protein increases absorption of calcium but not of zinc. Absorption of calcium from a lactose-free infant formula is, however, adequate to meet the calcium needs of full-term infants when the formula's calcium content is similar to that of lactose-containing, cow-milk-based infant formulae.

N2  - Background: Quantitative data on the mucosal uptake and serosal transfer of nonhaem-iron absorption in humans and the effects of calcium on these components are limited. Objective: Our objective was to measure the initial mucosal uptake and the subsequent serosal transfer of nonhaem iron and to determine the effects of adding calcium to a meal on both haem- and nonhaem-iron retention. Design: Whole-gut lavage and whole-body scintillation counting methods were applied to determine the 8-h uptake of nonhaem iron and the 2-week retention (absorption) of haem and nonhaem iron in healthy adults (n=17) after the consumption of meals of radiolabelled food [USA]. Results: The initial uptake and absorption of nonhaem iron were 11% and 7%, respectively, and the absorption of haem iron was 15%. Two-thirds of the nonhaem iron taken up by the mucosa within 8 h was retained by the body after 2 weeks (serosal transfer index: 0.63). Serum ferritin correlated inversely with the initial uptake and absorption of nonhaem iron, but not with the nonhaem serosal transfer index or the absorption of haem iron. Adding calcium (127 mg in cheese) to the meal did not affect absorption. Conclusions: On the basis of its association with serum ferritin, the initial mucosal uptake is the primary control point for nonhaem-iron absorption. An apparent reduction in haem-iron absorption associated with the lavage procedure suggests that uptake of haem iron may take longer and proceed further through the intestine than that of nonhaem iron. The absorption of both forms of iron is unaffected by the addition of cheese to this meal with high iron bioavailability.

N2  - Background: After a dose of labelled vitamin A is given to humans for estimating body stores of vitamin A, blood is customarily drawn at pseudo-equilibration times ranging from 11 to 26 days. Objective: The objective was to determine whether a shorter sample collection interval (6 h or 3 days), which would be more realistic in field settings, can be used. Design: Correlations of enrichment at 6 h or 3 days with enrichment at 21 days were made after an oral dose of deuterium-labelled vitamin A was given to Chinese schoolchildren (aged 10-11 years; n=58) with marginal-to-normal vitamin A status at an elementary school in Shun-yi District, Beijing, China. A predictive equation was then derived and applied to data obtained from a separate group of children to verify that the calculated enrichment at 21 days (determined by using data obtained at an earlier time point to predict 21-day enrichment) reflected directly measured enrichment at 21 days. Results: Because 3-day isotope enrichment was found to correlate well with 21-day enrichment, a predictive equation was derived whereby 3-day data were used to predict isotope enrichment at pseudo-equilibration (ie, at 21 days). When the 3-day predictive equation was applied to a separate group of Chinese children, the calculated 21-day data (determined by using the 3-day data and the predictive equation) matched the directly measured 21-day data. Body stores of vitamin A determined from either the calculated or directly measured 21-day enrichment data also showed agreement. Conclusion: Percentage enrichment at 3 days (but not at 6 h) can be used to evaluate vitamin A body stores in humans.

N2  - Background: The influence of whole grains on cardiovascular disease risk may be mediated through multiple pathways, eg, a reduction in blood lipids and blood pressure, an enhancement of insulin sensitivity, and an improvement in blood glucose control. Objective: The objective was to examine the association between diets rich in whole- or refined-grain foods and several metabolic markers of disease risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort [USA]. Design: Whole-grain intake and metabolic risk markers were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2941 subjects. Results: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, whole-grain intake was inversely associated with body mass index (x: 26.9 in the lowest and 26.4 in the highest quintile of intake; P for trend=0.06), waist-to-hip ratio (0.92 and 0.91, respectively; P for trend=0.005), total cholesterol (5.20 and 5.09 mmol/litre, respectively; P for trend=0.06), LDL cholesterol (3.16 and 3.04 mmol/litre, respectively; P for trend=0.02), and fasting insulin (205 and 199 pmol/litre, respectively; P for trend=0.03). There were no significant trends in metabolic risk factor concentrations across quintile categories of refined-grain intake. The inverse association between whole-grain intake and fasting insulin was most striking among overweight participants. The association between whole-grain intake and fasting insulin was attenuated after adjustment for dietary fibre and magnesium. Conclusion: Increased intakes of whole grains may reduce disease risk by means of favourable effects on metabolic risk factors.

N2  - Background: Within the past 10 years, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has become one of the most widely used methods of measuring human body composition. However, DXA has not been fully evaluated against an independent criterion method of measuring body fatness in young females. Objective: Our objective was to determine the bias and agreement between DXA and a 4-compartment model in predicting the percentage of fat mass (%FM) in a multiethnic group of young females in Houston, Texas, USA. Design: The %FM values measured by DXA of 73 white, 43 African American, 14 Hispanic, and 11 Asian females with a mean (±SD) age of 13.0±1.9 years were compared with the 4-compartment values, which were based on measurements of body density, body water, and bone mineral content. Results: The %FM values measured by the 2 methods were correlated at r=0.90 with an SEE of 3.3%; Bland-Altman analysis indicated an average bias of 3.9%. After nullification of the average bias, an individual estimate of %FM by DXA could be underestimated or overestimated by 6.7% when compared with the 4-compartment value. Conclusions: DXA is an appropriate method for estimating body composition in a group of young females because its bias and limits of agreement are independent of age, ethnicity, and body fatness. However, the limits of agreement of 6.7% could cause an individual FM value to be underestimated or overestimated by 28% relative to the 4-compartment value. Therefore, DXA may not be the optimal method of measuring the body fatness of young females.

N2  - Although catastrophic weight loss is no longer common in HIV-infected men, we hypothesized that a more gradual process of cachexia (loss of lean body mass (LBM) without severe weight loss, often accompanied by elevated resting energy expenditure (REE)) is still common and is driven by excessive production of the catabolic cytokines tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). We performed a longitudinal analysis of an ongoing cohort study of nutritional status in 172 men with HIV infection. LBM loss of &gt;1 kg occurred in 35% of the cohort, and LBM loss of &gt;5% occurred in 12.2% over 8 mo of observation, but classical wasting (loss of ~10% of weight) was rare (2%). Both TNF-α (-150 g LBM/ng/ml, P&lt;0.02) and IL-1β production (-130 g LBM/ng/ml, P&lt;0.01) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells predicted loss of LBM. A rise in REE of &gt;200 kcal/day was found in 17.7% of the subjects regardless of weight change. IL-1β (+9 kcal/day per ng/ml, P&lt;0.002) and TNF-α (+10 kcal/day per ng/ml, P&lt;0.02) production predicted ΔREE. Serum free testosterone was inversely associated with TNF-α production and was not an independent predictor of either ΔLBM or ΔREE after adjustment for cytokine production. Even though weight loss was rare in this cohort of patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy, loss of LBM was common and was driven by catabolic cytokines and not by inadequate dietary intake or hypogonadism.

N2  - Liquids containing microorganisms were exposed to radio frequency (RF) energy to study non-thermal inactivation. RF energy was applied to the liquids while heat was simultaneously removed to control temperature. Turbulent flow was maintained to minimize localized heating. An 18 MHz RF processor applied an approximately 0.5 kV/cm electric field strength to the liquids. It was capable of pasteurizing the liquids provided that cooling was minimized. There were no non-thermal effects of RF energy detected on Escherichia coli K-12, Listeria innocua, or yeast in apple cider, beer, deionized water, liquid whole egg, and tomato juice; nor were there any synergistic effects of RF energy with heat. The low temperature effects of RF energy at 18 MHz and 0.5 kV/cm were due to heat.

N2  - Factors affecting the efficacy of chlorine treatment for elimination of bacterial pathogens from laboratory-inoculated alfalfa seed, the ability of chlorine to eliminate Salmonella Muenchen from naturally contaminated alfalfa seed, and the effect of chlorine treatment on germination of several types of sprouting seed were evaluated. Initial water temperature (15, 22 or 40°C) did not affect the rate or amount of free chlorine released from Ca(OCl)2 during 30 min of stirring. Residual chlorine was detected after 15 min of stirring at the highest ratio of seed to volume of chlorine (50 g seed to 50 ml of 3% (w/v) Ca(OCl)2) tested. Of the 29 types of sprouting seed treated for 10 min with buffered (to pH 6.8) 3.0% Ca(OCl)2, only the germination of spelt and hard, soft and Kamut wheat was drastically reduced. Treatment (10 min) of laboratory-inoculated seed with buffered (to pH 6.8) 2.5 or 3.0% (w/v) Ca(OCl)2 along with water rinses both before and after treatment led to a significant reduction (3.9-4.5 log cfu g-1) of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, but not their elimination. Efficacy of chlorine treatment was reduced in the absence of buffer. Altering treatment times to 5 or 20 min did not affect treatment efficacy. A 1 h presoak of seed in tap water before chlorine treatment was beneficial, but led to a greatly reduced germination percentage after treatment. Addition of low levels of surfactant had no effect on treatment efficacy. Treatment (10 min with continuous agitation) of alfalfa seed naturally contaminated with Salmonella Muenchen with buffered or unbuffered 3.0% (w/v) Ca(OCl)2, but not with buffered 0.3% (w/v) Ca(OCl)2, eliminated the pathogen from the seed.

N2  - Background: Eating when exposed to large portions of palatable foods in the absence of hunger has been suggested to contribute to overweight. Objective: This research evaluated whether young girls' eating in the absence of hunger was stable across a 2-y period in middle childhood, was associated with an increased risk of overweight, and could be predicted by parents' use of restriction in child feeding. Design: The participants were 192 non-Hispanic white girls and their parents, assessed when the girls were 5 and 7 y of age. The girls' eating when exposed to palatable foods in the absence of hunger was measured after they consumed a standard lunch and indicated that they were no longer hungry. Results: Eating in the absence of hunger showed moderate stability across the 2-y period for most of the girls. The girls who ate large amounts of snack foods in the absence of hunger at 5 and 7 y of age were 4.6 times as likely to be overweight at both ages. Parents' reports of restricting their daughter's access to foods at age 5 y predicted girls' eating in the absence of hunger at age 7 y, even when the girls' weight status and eating in the absence of hunger at age 5 y were controlled for. Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence that young girls' eating in the absence of hunger may represent a stable phenotypic behaviour of young overweight girls. In addition, these findings are consistent with previous work indicating that parents' restrictive feeding practices may contribute to this behaviour.

N2  - OBJECTIVE: To determine which dietary and lifestyle choices and which attitudes toward diet and health most contribute to adiposity and whether those factors differ by gender. METHODS: Multiple regression was used to estimate the effect of energy intake, energy expenditure, resources, demographics and attitudes toward diet and health on self-reported body mass index (BMI) in a nationally representative sample of the US population. SAMPLE: This study used secondary data from the 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and its telephone follow-up, the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS). CSFII is a nationally representative survey of individuals which obtained 24 h recalls of all food intake on two nonconsecutive days. The DHKS data set obtained information on knowledge and attitudes toward dietary guidance and health from individuals 20 years of age and over, who participated in the CSFII. Our sample consisted of responses from 5512 individuals. RESULTS: We found that many of the variables previously found to or hypothesized to influence body weight do so. Our analysis shows that choices and attitudes do matter for adiposity. Moreover, the analysis shows that the choices males and females make often have quite different effects on BMI. For females all the variables we constructed to represent energy intake, energy expenditure and financial and human resources are significant. Most of the variables that characterize attitudes toward diet and health are significant. For males, far fewer variables are significant. Our tests for gender-related differences show that whether or not males believe their weight is predetermined has no influence on BMI. In contrast, women who do not believe that their weight is predetermined have lower BMI values than those who believe weight is genetically determined. DISCUSSION: While our qualitative conclusion - choices and attitudes affect BMI - is unsurprising, the quantitative aspects are important. The analysis shows that factors affecting BMI differ systematically by gender. Understanding these systematic differences is critical to the design of information campaigns. Our analysis suggests that entirely different campaigns are necessary to communicate the importance of diet and lifestyle choices to men and to women.

N2  - Objective: To examine changes, between 1977-78 and 1994-96, in the quantity and quality of food Americans consumed that was prepared at home versus away from home. Design: Data were obtained from nationwide surveys of food consumption conducted by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1977-78 and 1994-96. To maximize comparability, we used "day 1" dietary data, which both surveys collected via 24-h recall. Subjects/Settings: Individuals 2 years of age and over were selected. USDA sampling weights were used to generate nationally representative estimates. Variables Measured: We categorized foods by preparation at home or at restaurants, fast-food establishments, schools/day care, and other non-home locations. We assessed percent calories from total fat and saturated fat, and the cholesterol, sodium, fibre, calcium, and iron densities of foods prepared at home versus those prepared away from home. Statistical Analyses: T tests were calculated using accepted procedures to adjust for survey design effects. Results: Between 1977-78 and 1994-96, consumption of food prepared away from home increased from 18% to 32% of total calories. Meals and snacks based on food prepared away from home contained more calories per eating occasion, and "away" food was higher in total fat and saturated fat on a per-calorie basis than at-home food. "Away" food contained less dietary fibre, calcium, and iron on a per-calorie basis. Among adults but not children, food prepared away from home was more sodium and cholesterol dense. Implications: When developing intervention messages and strategies, nutrition educators need to be aware of the increasing role of "away" food in Americans' diets.

N2  - A vacuum/steam/vacuum (VSV) surface intervention process has previously been developed for poultry and hot dogs. The process uses a brief exposure to vacuum to remove surface air and water to expose bacteria. After a short treatment with saturated steam (0.1 s), a second vacuum treatment evaporatively cools the surface, resulting in the destruction of bacteria with little or no thermal damage. The VSV surface intervention process has also been applied to fruits and vegetables. Optimization methods were used with cantaloupes, grapefruits, and beets to determine process conditions for steam temperature, steam time, vacuum time, and number of cycles to destroy bacteria with the constraint of little or no thermal damage. Inoculated Listeria innocua was used for the cantaloupe and grapefruit studies and total aerobic plate count (APC) was used for the beet study. Bacteria destruction ranged from 2.5 log cfu/ml APC for beets to almost 4 log L. innocua for grapefruits. The process was successfully applied to other fruits and vegetables such as papayas, mangoes, avocados, kiwis, carrots, cucumbers, and peaches, using the nominal process conditions found with cantaloupes, grapefruits, and beets. Applying the process to bananas, cauliflower, broccoli, and peppers resulted in thermal or mechanical damage. The total process time was 0.5-1.2 s, depending on the number of cycles and the process time per cycle. Assuming that these results with APC and L. innocua are indicative of the treatment of naturally present pathogens, this surface intervention process should ensure that fruits and vegetables suitable for this process will reach the consumer having greatly reduced levels of bacterial contamination.

N2  - Halofuginone (Hal) is a feed additive used worldwide to prevent coccidiosis in commercial poultry production. The current regulatory method for determining the action level of Hal residues in poultry involves measuring parent Hal in liver tissue by HPLC. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) for Hal was evaluated with respect to HPLC in determining Hal in 473 samples of chicken liver tissue obtained from commercial poultry slaughterhouses. Chicken liver samples were divided, and analysed by both the US Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service's (FSIS's) regulatory method, and by the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service's (ARS's) cELISA method described here. The lower level of detection for Hal was 50 ppb by the FSIS HPLC method and 38 ppb by the ARS cELISA method. The lower cutoff limit for this study was 50 ppb as mandated by FSIS SOP. There was good agreement in the results obtained by HPLC and cELISA. In addition, the cELISA method does not require the use of organic solvents. These data clearly demonstrate that the cELISA method could be used as a screening method for the analysis of Hal in chicken liver tissue. If the cELISA had been used as a screening tool in this study, then only six samples (≥100 and &lt;160 ppb) out of the 473 samples analysed would have required further analysis by HPLC. The organic solvent waste (over 100 l) generated by the HPLC method would have then been reduced to approximately 1.272 l, a considerable time and cost savings in waste management.

N2  - Aging is a complex biological process, which usually is accompanied by changes in socioeconomic status, which may have a great impact on the physical and nutritional status of the elderly. Decreased food intake and a sedentary lifestyle in the growing numbers of the elderly increase their risk for malnutrition, decline of bodily functions and developing chronic diseases. Oxidative stress is believed to be an important factor in aging and many age-associated degenerative diseases. Modulation of oxidative stress by energy restriction in animals has been shown to be one of the mechanisms for retarding the aging process. Dietary antioxidants are regarded as being important in modulating oxidative stress of aging and age-associated diseases. Supplementation of the elderly with vitamin E has been shown to enhance immune response, delay onset of Alzheimer's disease, and increase resistance to oxidative injury associated with exercise. Vitamin E, in comparison with other antioxidants, is also effective in reducing viral titres, but not the longevity of middle-aged mice. Our studies have indicated that polyphenols or vitamin E may assist in preventing cardiovascular disease, in part by decreasing expression by endothelial cells of proinflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, and monocyte adhesion. Most recently, we have found that some of these antioxidants may prevent tumour growth by inhibiting angiogenesis via suppression of interleukin 8 and modulation of the cell junction molecule, VE-cadherin. These findings provide further support for the consumption of fruit and vegetables, which contain several forms of phytochemicals with antioxidant activity, in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among the elderly.

N2  - Context: Epidemiological data demonstrate that moderate alcohol intake is associated with improved insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic individuals. No controlled-diet studies have addressed the effects of daily moderate alcohol consumption on fasting insulin and glucose concentrations and insulin sensitivity. Objective: To determine whether daily consumption of low to moderate amounts of alcohol influences fasting insulin and glucose concentrations and insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic postmenopausal women. Design, Setting, and Participants: Randomized controlled crossover trial of 63 healthy postmenopausal women, conducted at a clinical research centre in Maryland, USA, between 1998 and 1999. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to consume 0, 15, or 30 g/d of alcohol for 8 weeks each as part of a controlled diet. All foods and beverages were provided during the intervention. An isocaloric beverage was provided in the 0-g/d arm. Energy intake was adjusted to maintain constant body weight. Main Outcome Measures: Fasting insulin, triglyceride, and glucose concentrations, measured at the end of each dietary period; insulin sensitivity, estimated with a published index of glucose disposal rate corrected for fat-free mass based on fasting insulin and fasting triglyceride concentrations, compared among treatments with a mixed-model analysis of variance. Results: A complete set of plasma samples was collected and analysed for 51 women who completed the trial. Consumption of 30 g/d of alcohol compared with 0 g/d reduced fasting insulin concentration by 19.2% (P=0.004) and triglyceride concentration by 10.3% (P=0.001), and increased insulin sensitivity by 7.2% (P=0.002). Normal-weight, overweight, and obese individuals responded similarly. Only fasting triglyceride concentration was significantly reduced when comparing 0 and 15 g/d of alcohol (7.8%; P=0.03), and no difference was found between consumption of 15 and 30 g/d of alcohol; however, there was a significant linear trend (P=0.001). Fasting glucose concentrations were not different across treatments. Conclusions: Consumption of 30 g/d of alcohol (2 drinks per day) has beneficial effects on insulin and triglyceride concentrations and insulin sensitivity in nondiabetic postmenopausal women.

N2  - Yersinia enterocolitica, a foodborne pathogen, can be eliminated from meat using ionizing radiation. Commercial facilities may irradiate meat at refrigeration or frozen temperature, or packed in dry ice if the facility does not have refrigeration capabilities. The effect of temperature on the radiation resistance of Y. enterocolitica that contained the 70 kb large virulence plasmid was determined. A mixture of 4 Y. enterocolitica strains was inoculated into ground pork, which was then vacuum-packed, equilibrated to refrigeration or sub-freezing temperatures, and irradiated to doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy. The D10 value, the radiation dose required to reduce the number of viable Y. enterocolitica by 90%, increased as product temperature decreased with values of 0.19, 0.19, 0.21, 0.40, 0.40, 0.38, and 0.55 kGy being obtained at +5, 0, -5, -10, -15, -20 and -76 °C, respectively. Meat product temperature should be considered when selecting a radiation dose required for elimination of Y. enterocolitica.

N2  - The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of the mammalian central nervous system is almost wholly composed of two long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA). PUFA are dietarily essential, thus normal infant/neonatal brain, intellectual growth and development cannot be accomplished if they are deficient during pregnancy and lactation. Unique in the human species, the fetal brain consumes 70% of the energy delivered to it by mother. DHA and AA are needed to construct placental and fetal tissues for cell membrane growth, structure and function. Contemporary evidence shows that the maternal circulation is depleted of AA and DHA during fetal growth. Sustaining normal adult human brain function also requires LC-PUFA. Homo sapiens is unlikely to have evolved a large, complex, metabolically expensive brain in an environment which did not provide abundant dietary LC-PUFA. Conversion of 18-carbon PUFA from vegetation to AA and DHA is considered quantitatively insufficient due to a combination of high rates of PUFA oxidation for energy, inefficient and rate limited enzymatic conversion and substrate recycling. The littoral marine and lacustrine food chains provide consistently greater amounts of pre-formed LC-PUFA than the terrestrial food chain. Dietary levels of DHA are 2.5-100 fold higher for equivalent weights of marine fish or shellfish vs. lean or fat terrestrial meats. Mammalian brain tissue and bird egg yolks, especially from marine birds, are the richest terrestrial sources of LC-PUFA. However, land animal adipose fats have been linked to vascular disease and mental ill-health, whereas marine lipids have been demonstrated to be protective. At South African Capesites, large shell middens and fish remains are associated with evidence for some of the earliest modern humans. Cape sites dating from 100 to 18 kya cluster within 200 km of the present coast. Evidence of early H. sapiens is also found around the Rift Valley lakes and up the Nile Corridor into the Middle East; in some cases there is an association with the use of littoral resources. Exploitation of river, estuarine, stranded and spawning fish, shellfish and sea bird nestlings and eggs by Homo could have provided essential dietary LC-PUFA for men, women, and children without requiring organized hunting/fishing, or sophisticated social behaviour. It is however, predictable from the present evidence that exploitation of this food resource would have provided the advantage in multi-generation brain development which would have made possible the advent of H. sapiens. Restriction to land based foods as postulated by the savannah and other hypotheses would have led to degeneration of the brain and vascular system as happened without exception in all other land based apes and mammals as they evolved larger bodies.

N2  - Saponins are steroidal or terpenoid-based glycosides with surface active properties. A steroidal saponin, CAY-1, with a molecular weight of 1243.35 Da, was isolated and purified to homogeneity from commercially available dry, ground fruit of Capsicum frutescens. CAY-1 was shown to be a potent fungicide for the germinating conidia of Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. parasiticus and A. niger with species-dependent LD90 values between 3 and 20 µm. Activity against some Aspergillus species was affected by the test medium used. In vitro assays, CAY-1 was effective against Pneumocystis carinii (IC50: 9.5 µM) and Candida albicans (IC90: 6.2 µM). CAY-1 had no effect on the viability of the nongerminating conidia of the two filamentous fungi, P. carinii and C. albicans, nor on the conidial type of Fusarium oxysporum. It was ineffective against the bacteria Enterobacter agglomerans [Pantoea agglomerans], Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. CAY-1 was not cytotoxic to A 549 lung carcinoma cells or HeLa cells at effective fungicidal concentrations. The results indicate that CAY-1 is an effective fungicide for Aspergillus species, C. albicans and P. carinii at concentrations below the threshold for mammalian cell toxicity.

N2  - With the elderly becoming an ever-larger proportion of the American population, their dietary well-being is of increasing concern. In particular, lower-income elderly may face special challenges in maintaining a healthful diet. This group makes up a sizeable proportion of the elderly population; we estimate that almost 1 in 5 (19%) of the elderly have household incomes at or below 130% of the federal poverty level, the income level that generally qualifies a household to participate in the federal Food Stamp Program. The dietary intakes and related behaviour, as well as the food security status, of lower- and higher-income elderly were examined. Major US government food and nutrition assistance programs that can be of benefit to the elderly, particularly those of low income were also reviewed. 3150 (lower-income, n=788 and higher-income, n=2362) individuals aged ≥60 years, living in community (noninstitutionalized) settings were studied. Data on dietary intakes and behaviour were obtained from the US Department of Agriculture's Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII), 1994-96. Food security data were obtained from the 1999 Current Population Survey (CPS), conducted by the US Census Bureau. For both the CSFII and the CPS, sampling weights were used to generate nationally representative estimates. Lower-income elderly consume significantly fewer calories than higher-income elderly, fewer servings of major Food Guide Pyramid food groups, and most nutrients. Approximately 6% of elderly households reported some degree of food insecurity. Although food and nutrition assistance programmes can benefit elderly individuals, many do not participate. Many lower-income elderly also face physiological and social obstacles to obtaining a healthful diet. How best to meet these varied needs is a challenge for nutrition educators, researchers, and policy makers.

N2  - Objective: To assess nutrient intake, anthropometrics, and biochemical indicators in physically active and inactive older adults. Design: A cross-sectional sample of older adults who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-94, was divided into two groups based on activity level. Participants/Setting: A national sample of men (n=1876) and women (n=2009) aged ≥65 years who reported diet and exercise information, and were medically examined. Main outcome measures: Association of activity level with nutrients, anthropometrics, and biochemical parameters. Analysis: Means were calculated for each of the variables observed by activity category. T tests were used to determine if the differences in the means were statistically significant at P&lt;0.05. Results: Older adults reported intakes of food energy, calcium, magnesium, and zinc below recommendation. Nutrient intakes and anthropometrics for active and inactive women were similar; those for active and inactive men differed significantly for many nutrients and for anthropometrics associated with activity. Conclusions and implications: Inadequate intakes of food energy and micronutrients are of concern because of the metabolic stresses associated with activity. Future research is needed to determine the impact of increased physical activity on nutrient needs and body composition in the elderly.

N2  - Previously we demonstrated that two doses of a replication-defective human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) carrying the capsid (P1) and 3C protease coding regions of a laboratory strain of FMDV (A12) completely protected five of six swine challenged with homologous virus. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of one dose of an Ad5-vectored vaccine expressing the P1 coding region of an FMDV field strain. A replication-defective Ad5 containing the P1 coding region of FMDV A24 and the 3C coding region of A12 (Ad5A24) was constructed and evaluated for its ability to induce neutralizing antibodies and protect swine against homologous challenge after a single vaccination. Animals were challenged 7, 14 or 42 days after vaccination. Control groups included animals inoculated with commercial vaccine or phosphate-buffered saline. All vaccinated swine were completely protected against homologous challenge at 7, 14 or 42 days after vaccination. Based on these results, we conclude that a single inoculation of Ad5-vectored vaccines could be used as a tool to control FMD in outbreak situations.

N2  - Background: There is currently no consensus on the effect of dietary protein intake on the skeleton, but there is some indication that low calcium intakes adversely influence the effect of dietary protein on fracture risk. Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine whether supplemental calcium citrate malate and vitamin D influence any associations between protein intake and change in bone mineral density (BMD). Design: Associations between protein intake and change in BMD were examined in 342 healthy men and women (aged ≥65 y) who had completed a 3-y, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of calcium and vitamin D supplementation [USA; date not given]. Protein intake was assessed at the midpoint of the study with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire and BMD was assessed every 6 mo by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The mean (±SD) protein intake of all subjects was 79.1±25.6 g/d and the mean total calcium intakes of the supplemented and placebo groups were 1346±358 and 871±413 mg/d, respectively. Higher protein intake was significantly associated with a favorable 3-y change in total-body BMD in the supplemented group (in a model containing terms for age, sex, weight, total energy intake, and dietary calcium intake) but not in the placebo group. The pattern of change in femoral neck BMD with increasing protein intake in the supplemented group was similar to that for the total body. Conclusion: Increasing protein intake may have a favorable effect on change in BMD in elderly subjects supplemented with calcium citrate malate and vitamin D.

N2  - Moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/day) may decrease cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women by improving lipid profiles. We measured the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on lipids and lipoproteins in postmenopausal women recruited from Beltsville, Maryland, USA. Postmenopausal women (n=51) consumed 0 (control), 15 (one drink), and 30 (2 drinks) g alcohol (ethanol)/day for 8 weeks each as part of a controlled diet in a randomized crossover design. The control diet provided ~15, 53 and 32% of energy from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively. The energy provided from alcohol in the 15- and 30-g alcohol diets was replaced with energy from carbohydrate. Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma LDL cholesterol decreased from 3.45 to 3.34 mmol/litre (P=0.04) and triacylglycerol from 1.43 to 1.34 mmol/litre (P=0.05) after 15 g alcohol/day. There were no additional significant decreases in either lipid after an increase in alcohol intake from 15 to 30 g/day. Compared with concentrations after the control diet, plasma HDL cholesterol increased nonsignificantly from 1.40 to 1.43 mmol/litre after 15 g alcohol/day but increased to 1.48 mmol/litre after 30 g alcohol/day (P=0.02). Apolipoprotein A-I increased significantly and apolipoprotein B decreased significantly after 30 g alcohol/day relative to the concentration after the control diet. Consumption of 15-30 g alcohol/day by postmenopausal women apparently decreases cardiovascular disease risk by improving lipid profiles. Plasma LDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations improve after 15 g alcohol/day; plasma HDL cholesterol improves only after 30 g alcohol/day.

N2  - Magnesium has been suggested to be beneficial in counteracting all phases of the processes that lead to ischaemic heart disease, including terminal events such as arrhythmia and sudden death. We tested the hypothesis that an intake of magnesium considerably below the recommended dietary allowance can produce chemical and physiological evidence of depletion [USA]. Twenty-two postmenopausal women were maintained in a metabolic unit and ate a diet of conventional foods containing less than one-half of or more than the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium (320 mg/day). Dietary assignments were random and double blind in a crossover design. Magnesium concentrations were measured by spectroscopy and ion-specific electrolyte analysis, and Holter electrocardiograms lasting ~21 h were recorded. Magnesium concentrations in erythrocytes, serum (total and ultrafilterable), and urine were significantly lower when dietary magnesium was lower. Holter monitors showed a significant increase in both supraventricular and supraventricular plus ventricular beats when the dietary magnesium concentration was low. Hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcaemia, and hypokalaemia were not found. The magnesium requirement is defined with the use of biochemical and electrophysiological criteria. The recommended dietary allowance of 320 mg/day seems correct; 130 mg is too little. Persons who live in soft water areas, who use diuretics, or who are predisposed to magnesium loss or ectopic beats may require more dietary magnesium than would others.

N2  - Various methods are used by epidemiologists to estimate the energy cost of physical activity; these include physical activity records and recalls. However, there is limited validation of these methods against the doubly labelled water technique for determining energy expenditure (EE). We compared EE as estimated by indirect methods (physical activity records and recall questionnaires) used in epidemiological studies with EE obtained from doubly labelled water (EEDLW) in free-living men [USA]. We determined EEDLW, energy intake at weight maintenance, and EE from 7-day physical activity records (EERecord) and a 7-day physical activity recall questionnaire (EERecall) in 24 men aged 41±2.0 years (x±SEM) with a body mass index (in kg/m2) of 25.1±0.5. There was excellent agreement between EEDLW (13.27±0.35 MJ/day) and energy intake (13.19±0.36 MJ/day), with a difference of 0.5±1.0% (x±SE). The indirect measures of physical activity and EE were 14.17±0.37 MJ/day for EERecord (difference from EEDLW: 7.9±3.2%) and 17.40±1.45 MJ/day for EERecall (difference from EEDLW: 30.6±9.9%). Seven-day physical activity records provide an acceptable estimate of EE in free-living adults compared with EEDLW, but 7-day physical activity recalls have limited application to estimate daily EE. For optimal validity, the 7-day physical activity records require good subject compliance and the provision of careful instructions for their use.

N2  - The specific underlying causes of adult weight gain remain uncertain. The objective was to determine the association of 3 measures of eating behaviour with weight gain and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) in adults. Current dietary restraint, disinhibition, and hunger were assessed with the use of the Eating Inventory in 638 healthy, non-smoking women aged 55-65 years in New England, USA. In addition, subjects reported their current weight and height, their weight for 6 age intervals, and changes in voluntary dietary energy restriction over the past 10 years. Current weight and height were validated in 10% of subjects. Current disinhibition strongly predicted weight gain and current BMI (partial r=0.27 and 0.34, respectively, both P&lt;0.001). Neither restraint nor hunger was a significant independent predictor of either variable, but the positive associations between disinhibition and both weight gain and BMI were attenuated by restraint (P=0.016 and 0.010, respectively, after adjustment for confounding variables). In the subpopulation of women who reported a stable level of voluntary dietary energy restriction, disinhibition also strongly predicted weight gain and higher BMI, and restraint was negatively associated with weight gain (partial r=-0.17, P=0.019). Higher disinhibition is strongly associated with greater adult weight gain and higher current BMI, and dietary restraint may attenuate this association when disinhibition is high. These findings suggest that eating behaviour has an important role in the prevention of adult-onset obesity and that further studies are warranted.

N2  - This article reviews the current status of our knowledge of lipoproteins, nutrition, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Special emphasis is placed on CHD risk assessment, dietary intervention studies, diet-gene interactions, and current dietary guidelines and the contributions of my laboratory to these areas. CHD remains a major cause of death and disability, and risk factors include age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, elevated serum LDL cholesterol, and low HDL cholesterol. Emerging independent risk factors include elevated serum concentrations of lipoprotein(a), remnant lipoproteins, and homocysteine. The cornerstone of CHD prevention is lifestyle modification. Dietary intervention studies support the concepts that restricting saturated fat and cholesterol and increasing the intake of essential fatty acids, especially n-3 fatty acids, reduces CHD risk. The variability in LDL-cholesterol response to diet is large, related in part to APOE and APOA4 genotype. The use of antioxidants in intervention studies has not been shown to reduce CHD risk. Compliance with dietary recommendations remains a major problem, and directly altering the food supply may be the most effective way to ensure compliance. The available data indicate that the recommendation to use fats, oils, and sugars sparingly for CHD prevention should be modified to a recommendation to use animal, dairy, and hydrogenated fats; tropical oils; egg yolks; and sugars sparingly and to increase the use of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

N2  - Objective: To evaluate parents' fruit and vegetable intake and their use of pressure to eat in child feeding as predictors of their 5-year-old daughters' fruit and vegetable, micronutrient, and fat intakes. Subjects: Data were obtained from 191 non-Hispanic white families with 5-year-old girls from Pennsylvania, USA [date not given]. Design: Parent data included reports of pressure in child feeding and their own fruit and vegetable intake. Girls' intakes of fruits and vegetables, selected micronutrients, and fat were the main outcomes of interest. Statistical analysis: Structural equation modelling was used to test a model describing relationships among parents' fruit and vegetable intake, parents' use of pressure in child feeding, and daughters' fruit and vegetable, micronutrient, and fat intakes. Results: The model provided a good fit to the data, revealing that girls' fruit and vegetable intake was positively related to their parents' reported fruit and vegetable intake. Parents who consumed fewer fruits and vegetables tended to report greater pressure in child feeding and had daughters who consumed fewer fruits and vegetables. Girls' reported fruit and vegetable intakes were positively related to their micronutrient intakes and negatively associated with fat intake. Applications/conclusions: This research demonstrates that parents' own fruit and vegetable intake may encourage fruit and vegetable intake in their daughters, leading to higher micronutrient intakes and lower dietary fat intakes. Conversely, pressure to eat may discourage fruit and vegetable intake among young girls.

N2  - A common G-to-A substitution in the promoter area (-75 base pairs) of the apolipoprotein A-I gene (APOA1) has been described. The A allele was shown to be associated with higher high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol concentrations in some studies but not in others. We examined whether dietary fat modulates the association between this polymorphism and HDL-cholesterol concentrations. We studied a population-based sample of 755 men and 822 women from the Framingham Offspring Study. The frequency of the A allele was 0.165. No significant differences were observed between G/G subjects and carriers of the A allele for any lipid variables. In multivariate linear regression models, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in women were associated with a significant interaction between polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake as a continuous variable and APOA1 genotype (P=0.005). By using 3 categories of PUFA intake, we found a significantly different effect of APOA1 genotype across PUFA categories in women. When PUFA intake was &lt;4% of energy, G/G subjects had ~14% higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations than did carriers of the A allele (P&lt;0.05). Conversely, when PUFA intake was &gt;8%, HDL-cholesterol concentrations in carriers of the A allele were 13% higher than those of G/G subjects (P&lt;0.05). No significant allelic difference was observed for subjects in the range of PUFA intake of 4-8% of energy. These interactions were not significant in men. We found a significant gene-diet interaction associated with the APOA1 G-A polymorphism. In women carriers of the A allele, higher PUFA intakes were associated with higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations, whereas the opposite effect was observed in G/G women.

AB  - Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between local food protection capacity and service provision in Maryland's 24 local food protection programs (FPPs) and incidence of foodborne illness at the county level. Methods. We conducted regression analyses to determine the relationship between foodborne illness and local FPP characteristics. We used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's FoodNet and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene outbreak data set, along with data on Maryland's local FPP capacity (workforce size and experience levels, budget) and service provision (food service facility inspections, public notification programs). Results. Countieswith higher capacity, such as larger workforce, higher budget, and greater employee experience, had fewer foodborne illnesses. Counties with better performance and county-level regulations, such as high food service facility inspection rates and requiring certified foodmanager programs, respectively, had lower rates of illness. Conclusions. Counties with strong local food protection capacity and services can protect the public from foodborne illness. Research on public health services can enhance our understanding of the food protection infrastructure, and the effectiveness of food protection programs in preventing foodborne illness.

AB  - This paper evaluates the effectiveness of cognitive interview techniques for improving data quality and survey processing at the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Specifically, it focuses on whether pre-survey design visits and cognitive interviews on draft survey forms resulted in measurable improvements in both data quality and survey processing. EIA recently completed a major redesign of one of its electricity surveys. The survey was difficult for some types of respondents to complete, required a great deal of follow-up with these respondents after data submission, and did not always provide high quality data. The redesign involved a review of data requirements, pre-survey design site visits with respondents to identify business record keeping practices, a detailed review of the correspondence between business records and the data EIA required, and cognitive interviews on draft survey questionnaires. This year long redesign effort resulted in a new survey instrument and instructions for a subset of respondents that had been having difficulty reporting to EIA. EIA believed that the new survey would provide more accurate information, be less burdensome to respondents, and would require less processing time and follow-up at EIA. To verify this, EIA is conducting an evaluation of the data collected and survey processing for the redesigned survey. This paper describes the problems with the original survey, the cognitive interviewing procedures used to improve the survey, and the findings from the evaluation study. Both qualitative and quantitative results are presented. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has historically used site visits, cognitive interviews, and focus groups to improve the quality of its business surveys.  They have proved to be useful and effective tools.  In recent years, however, businesses have become more skeptical of government surveys.  It has become more difficult to get companies to respond to our surveys, and to take the effort to respond in an accurate and timely manner.  This is a result of the changes in the energy industry from one of highly regulated, vertically integrated companies to an environment of less regulation and the separation of energy functions.  Some of these changes have brought about volatility in these industries, particularly in the supply and price of energy.  Companies are less comfortable in supplying data to EIA then they were under a more regulated environment.  There is a perceived lack of need for important data used to support public policy decisions and a misunderstanding of how theses data are used.  The EIA has modified its cognitive methods to help improve this perception with our respondents, especially with businesses who are first time responders to our surveys or are being asked for information not gathered previously.  It has become an important part of our survey development and testing process.  This paper describes the changes in the methods that EIA is using in the electric power and natural gas industries as the agency develops new surveys and modifies methods to help improve the awareness among our respondents of the importance of EIA?s data collection efforts, which in turn has helped improved our data quality.

AB  - The determination of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for calcium, especially in children, has relied in significant part on the evaluation of the relation between calcium intake and calcium absorption and retention. At present, most of these studies are conducted with the use of dual-tracer stable isotope, although mass balance or other isotope methods are still used occasionally. Studies carried out to evaluate DRI values need to be conducted under the most controlled conditions possible. However, the achievement of such conditions can be difficult, especially in studies in small children, because strict, long-term dietary monitoring and sample collections are not well tolerated. Other dietary factors, which include vitamin D status and the presence of enhancers and inhibitors of calcium absorption, may have to be considered. However, for most healthy populations who do not have very low calcium intakes or serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, other dietary factors will not be major determinants of the net calcium absorption or retention that will be used for the establishment of DRI values. Ultimately, DRI values must be chosen based on an attempt to achieve some targeted value for calcium absorption/retention or to maximize, within constraints, the overall calcium absorbed and retained. In children, it is important to use data obtained at the age and pubertal status being evaluated rather than to interpolate from data performed in other age groups.

AB  - Recent progress in the measurement of the bioconversion of dietary provitamin A carotenoids to vitamin A is reviewed in this article. Methods to assess the bioavailability and bioconversion of provitamin A carotenoids have advanced significantly in the past 10 y, specifically through the use of stable isotope methodology, which includes the use of labeled plant foods. The effects of the food matrix on the bioconversion of provitamin A carotenoids to vitamin A, dietary fat effects, and the effect of genotype on the absorption and metabolism of beta-carotene have been reported recently. A summary of the major human studies that determined conversion factors for dietary beta-carotene to retinol is presented here, and these data show that the conversion efficiency of dietary beta-carotene to retinol is in the range of 3.6-28:1 by weight. There is a wide variation in conversion factors reported not only between different studies but also between individuals in a particular study. These findings show that the vitamin A value of individual plant foods rich in provitamin A carotenoids may vary significantly and need further investigation.

N2  - As recently as the early 1900s, energy sources around the world were mostly agriculturally derived and industrial products were primarily made from plant matter. Early motor fuels also came from agriculture--Henry Ford used ethanol in his original engine and Rudolf Diesel's engine could run on peanut oil. By 1920, petroleum emerged as the dominant energy source for transportation fuels and industrial products. For over 80 years, the United States and other industrialized countries have relied on petroleum as an economical and dependable source of energy. However, this reliance on petroleum is becoming a major issue as our domestic oil supplies shrink and our dependence on oil imports grows. The papers in this session will look at agriculture's current role as an energy producer and explore opportunities for agriculture as our Nation struggles to secure its energy future.

AB  - Does radiation medicine need more regulation or simply better-coordinated regulation? This book addresses this and other questions of critical importance to public health and safety. The issues involved are high on the nation's agenda: the impact of radiation on public safety, the balance between federal and state authority, and the cost-benefit ratio of regulation. Although incidents of misadministration are rare, a case in Pennsylvania resulting in the death of a patient and the inadvertent exposure of others to a high dose of radiation drew attention to issues concerning the regulation of ionizing radiation in medicine and the need to examine current regulatory practices. Written at the request from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Radiation in Medicine reviews the regulation of ionizing radiation in medicine, focusing on the NRC's Medical Use Program, which governs the use of reactor-generated byproduct materials. The committee recommends immediate action on enforcement and provides longer term proposals for reform of the regulatory system. The volume covers Sources of radiation and their use in medicine. Levels of risk to patients, workers, and the public. Current roles of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, other federal agencies, and states. Criticisms from the regulated community. The committee explores alternative regulatory structures for radiation medicine and explains the rationale for the option it recommends in this volume. Based on extensive research, input from the regulated community, and the collaborative efforts of experts from a range of disciplines, Radiation in Medicine will be an important resource for federal and state policymakers and regulators, health professionals involved in radiation treatment, developers and producers of radiation equipment, insurance providers, and concerned laypersons.

AB  - The relationship between lutein and zeaxanthin and visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan is compelling. There is a variety of evidence to support a role for lutein and zeaxanthin in vision. Lutein's role in cognition has only recently been considered. Lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin, are taken up selectively into eye tissue. Lutein is the predominant carotenoid in human brain tissue. Lutein and zeaxanthin in neural tissue may have biological effects that include antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and structural actions. In addition, lutein and zeaxanthin may be protective against eye disease because they absorb damaging blue light that enters the eye. In pediatric brains, the relative contribution of lutein to the total carotenoids is twice that found in adults, accounting for more than half the concentration of total carotenoids. The greater proportion of lutein in the pediatric brain suggests a need for lutein during neural development as well. In adults, higher lutein status is related to better cognitive performance, and lutein supplementation improves cognition. The evidence to date warrants further investigation into the role of lutein and zeaxanthin in visual and cognitive health throughout the lifespan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To test the hypotheses that interventions clearly based on theory, multiple theories, or a formal intervention planning process will be more effective in changing fruit and vegetable consumption among children than interventions with no behavioral theoretical foundation. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Identification of articles in PubMed, PsycInfo, Medline, Cochrane Collaborative database, and existing literature reviews and meta-analyses. Participants: Children aged 2–18 years. Interventions: Change in fruit and/or vegetable consumption in dietary change interventions. Methods: Meta-analysis, meta-regression analysis, and summary reporting for articles. Conclusions and Implications: Predicating an intervention on behavioral theory had a small to moderate enhancement (P < .001) of outcome effectiveness. Differences in mean Hedges' g effect sizes between theory and non-theory interventions were 0.232 for fruit, 0.043 for vegetables, and 0.333 for fruit and vegetables combined. There was mixed support, however, for enhanced dietary change with multiple theories or a formal planning process. After controlling for study quality, theory use was related only to vegetable consumption (β = 0.373; P < .001). More research is needed on theory's influences on dietary behaviors to guide future interventions among children. More research is also needed to identify what may be effective practical- or experience-based procedures that complement theory, to incorporate into interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Eucalypts are the world's most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest proportion thus far in plant genomes. Eucalyptus also shows the highest diversity of genes for specialized metabolites such as terpenes that act as chemical defence and provide unique pharmaceutical oils. Genome sequencing of the E. grandis sister species E. globulus and a set of inbred E. grandis tree genomes reveals dynamic genome evolution and hotspots of inbreeding depression. The E. grandis genome is the first reference for the eudicot order Myrtales and is placed here sister to the eurosids. This resource expands our understanding of the unique biology of large woody perennials and provides a powerful tool to accelerate comparative biology, breeding and biotechnology.

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: The rate at which food is consumed and the efficiency with which it is utilized are prime factors in determining growth rate. There is a positive relation between growth and feeding frequency. Additionally, feeding frequency is strongly correlated with gastric evacuation time (GET). Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus were fed to satiation with a pelleted diet at two different feeding frequencies (three meals/day and five meals/day) to evaluate the effects of feeding frequency on gastric evacuation and the return of appetite. Ferric oxide was used as an inert indicator to follow gastric evacuation and gastrointestinal (GI) transit. Following an initial meal to satiation with the ferric oxide containing diet, fish were serially dissected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h post-prandially. The fish remaining in the treatments receiving three meals/day were fed to satiation again at 1200 and 1700 h. The fish remaining in the treatments receiving five meals/day were fed to satiation again at 1000, 1200, 1500, and 1700 h. Gastric evacuation rates (GER) for both treatments were curvilinear and were best described by a surface-area dependent model. The equation describing GER for fish fed three meals/day was VT=67.0eE-0.153(x) and for fish fed five meals/day was VT=85.0eE-0.149(x). The instantaneous evacuation rates obtained by linearizing the data were not significantly different and suggest gastric evacuation is independent of feeding frequency. Fish fed at 4-5-h intervals consume as much as they have evacuated. Fish receiving meals at 2-3-h intervals exhibit gastric overload. The return of appetite following a satiation meal is approximately 4 h in Nile tilapia held at 28 degrees C. Satiation feeding of tilapia at 4-h intervals should increase production efficiency

N2  - To further examine the interrelationships between manganese and iron absorption, the mucosal uptake, initial rate of loss, whole-body retention, and tissue distribution of an orally administered 54Mn radiotracer were compared between normal and β2-microglobulin knockout [β2m(-/-)] mice. These mutant mice are commonly used as a model for the study of human hemochromatosis, a hereditary iron-overload disease. Initial uptake of 54Mn by the intestinal mucosa, the liver, and the brain was not different between the two strains. The mutant mice had much higher concentrations of nonheme and total iron in the liver, but hepatic manganese, copper, magnesium, and zinc concentrations were similar between the two strains. In summary, the mucosal uptake and whole-body retention of manganese and tissue manganese concentrations were not altered in β2m(-/-) mice; this suggests that normal homeostasis of manganese is not affected by the altered HFE protein-β2m complex in these mice.

N2  - Objective: To assess the relation between usual nutrient intake and subsequently diagnosed age-related nuclear lens opacities. Subjects: Four hundred seventy-eight nondiabetic women aged 53 to 73 years from the Boston, Mass, area without previously diagnosed cataracts sampled from the Nurses' Health Study cohort. Methods: Usual nutrient intake was calculated as the average intake from 5 food frequency questionnaires that were collected during a 13- to 15-year period before the evaluation of lens opacities. The duration of vitamin supplement use was determined from 7 questionnaires collected during this same period. We defined nuclear opacities as a nuclear opalescence grade of 2.5 or higher using the Lens Opacification Classification System III. Results: The prevalence of nuclear opacification was significantly lower in the highest nutrient intake quintile category relative to the lowest quintile category for vitamin C (P&lt;.001), vitamin E (P=.02), riboflavin (P=.005), folate (P=.009), β-carotene (P=.04), and lutein/zeaxanthin (P=.03). After adjustment for other nutrients, only vitamin C intake remained significantly associated (P=.003 for trend) with the prevalence of nuclear opacities. The prevalence of nuclear opacities was significantly lower (P&lt;.001) in the highest vitamin C intake quintile category relative to the lowest quintile category (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.16-0.58). There were also statistically significant trends of decreasing prevalence of nuclear opacities with increasing duration of use of vitamin C (P=.004 for trend), vitamin E (P=.03 for trend), and multivitamin (P=.04 for trend) supplements, but only duration of vitamin C supplement use remained significantly associated with nuclear opacities after mutual adjustment for use of vitamin E (P=.05 for trend) or multivitamin (P=.02 for trend) supplements. The prevalence of nuclear opacities was significantly lower (P=.004) for women who used a vitamin C supplement for 10 or more years relative to women who never used vitamin C supplements (odds ratio, 0.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.72). Plasma measures of vitamins C and E taken at the eye examination were also inversely associated with the prevalence of nuclear opacities. Conclusion: These results provide additional evidence that antioxidant nutrients play a role in the prevention of age-related nuclear lens opacities.

N2  - This paper reviews recently published chromatographic methods for the analysis of plant sterols in various sample matrices with emphasis on vegetable oils. An overview of structural complexities and biological/nutritional aspects including hypocholesterolaemic activities of phytosterols is provided in the Section 1. The principal themes of the review highlight the development and application of chromatographic techniques for the isolation, purification, separation and detection of the title compounds. Pertinent gas chromatographic and high-performance liquid chromatographic methods from the literature are tabulated to illustrate common trends and methodological variability. The review also covers specific analyses of natural/synthetic standard mixtures to shed light on potential applicability in plant sample assays. Examples of combined chromatographic techniques linked in tandem for the analysis of complex samples are included. Elution characteristics of sterol components are discussed in the context of analyte substituent effects, structural factors and stationary/mobile phase considerations.

N2  - Separations of lipid antioxidants, tocopherols (T) and tocotrienols (T3), on octylsilica (OS), octadecylsilica (ODS), phenylsilica, or silica were studied by capillary electrochromatography (CEC)-UV detection. The homologues and isomers of the vitamin E-active compounds were best separated with an OS column. CEC with an ODS column tended to yield broad peaks with poor resolution. Among the various mobile phases evaluated, (acetonitrile-methanol (64:36))-(25 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, pH 8) (95:5) eluent systems produced the most satisfactory results. Under these conditions, a baseline separation of an 11-component mixture was obtained with elution order similar to that observed in reversed-phase HPLC: δT3&gt;(γ+β)T3&gt;αT3&gt;εT&gt;(δ+ζ2)T&gt;(γ+β)T&gt;αT&gt;αT-acetate. CEC of the antioxidant acetates led to separations inferior to those of the parent compounds. Effects of CEC experimental variables (e.g., mobile phase solvents and buffers, stationary phases and electric field) on analyte separations were assessed in the context of resolution factors and retention factors.

N2  - Background: Vegetarian diets often contain more copper than do nonvegetarian diets, but observations of decreased plasma copper associated with vegetarian diets suggest that these diets have lower copper bioavailability than do nonvegetarian diets. Objective: Our objective was to determine apparent copper absorption from controlled lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets. Design: Eighteen women aged 20-43 y consumed lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian weighed diets for 8 wk each in a randomized, crossover design. The lactoovovegetarian and nonvegetarian diets provided 1.45 and 0.94 mg Cu, 38 and 16 g dietary fiber, and 1584 and 518 mg phytic acid, respectively, per 9.2 MJ (2200 kcal). After the women had been consuming each diet for 4 wk, their apparent copper absorption was determined by measuring the fecal excretion of the 65Cu stable isotope, extrinsically added to the entire menu as 65CuCl2. Results: Plasma copper and ceruloplasmin were not affected by diet. The efficiency of apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet was less (33%) than that from the nonvegetarian diet (42%) (pooled SD: 9%; P&lt;0.05). However, because the lactoovovegetarian diet contained ~50% more copper, the total apparent copper absorption from the lactoovovegetarian diet (0.48 mg/d) was greater than that from the nonvegetarian diet (0.40 mg/d) (pooled SD: 0.09 mg; P&lt;0.05). Conclusion: Although copper was less efficiently absorbed from a vegetarian diet than from a nonvegetarian diet, total apparent copper absorption was greater from the vegetarian diet because of its greater copper content.

N2  - Background: Hydrogenation of vegetable oils affects blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. However, little is known about the effects of hydrogenation on other components, such as vitamin K. Low phylloquinone (vitamin K1) intake is a potential risk factor for bone fracture, although the mechanisms of this are unknown. Objective: The objective was to compare the biological effects of phylloquinone and its hydrogenated form, dihydrophylloquinone, on vitamin K status and markers of bone formation and resorption. Design: In a randomized crossover study, conducted at the metabolic unit of the Jean Mayer US Department of Agriculture Human Research Nutrition on Aging at Tufts University in Massachusetts, USA, 15 young adults were fed a phylloquinone-restricted diet (10 µg/d) for 15 d followed by 10 d of repletion (200 µg/d) with either phylloquinone or dihydrophylloquinone [date not given]. Results: There was an increase and subsequent decrease in measures of bone formation (P=0.002) and resorption (P=0.08) after dietary phylloquinone restriction and repletion, respectively. In comparison with phylloquinone, dihydrophylloquinone was less absorbed and had no measurable biological effect on measures of bone formation and resorption. Conclusion: Hydrogenation of plant oils appears to decrease the absorption and biological effect of vitamin K in bone.

N2  - This book contains papers presented at the 10th International Flavor Conference, describing positive flavour notes and how to enhance them in foods. Moreover, the undesirable flavours are described, and the methods to eliminate or reduce these unwanted notes are proposed. The chemistry of foods and packaging aspects of foods are discussed in detail, since packaging controls sensory attributes, apperance and microbiological safety. Information gained by researchers in food chemisrty has found numerous practical applications for improving foods. The book is divided into eight sections which concerns overview and reviews, dairy products, composition of foods in realtion to flavour and chemistry, formation of flavours, analysis of foods, quality of foods and its relation to health, antioxidants, and food packaging.

N2  - Defining the extent and character of intraspecific genetic variation provides important information about gene function and organismal history. Powerful tests may be applied to sequenced alleles in order to critically examine whether natural selection is responsible for limiting or elevating intraspecific polymorphism in particular genes. Unconventional patterns of sequence variation and unusual allelic frequency distributions can be used to test whether genes encoding parasite antigens are being diversified by immune selection. The strikingly limited genetic variation in the falciparum malaria genome, and in human chromosomes encoding resistance to severe malaria, date the emergence of this disease to within the last few thousand years, illustrating the power of population genetic analysis to elucidate the history of host-parasite interactions. Coupling phylogenetic and geographic information and analysing the rate of diversification in intraspecific gene trees provides new and rich sources of information on microbial evolution and epidemiology.

N2  - A study was conducted to determine whether the addition of calcium to cereal would have a net positive effect on calcium absorption without decreasing iron absorption. 27 children (age 6-9 y) were provided of either a low (39/mg per serving) or fortified (156/mg per serving) calcium-containing cereal product for 14 days. Fractional absorption of calcium from milk did not differ significantly when given with enriched or low-calcium-containing cereal. Calcium absorption from the fortified cereal was identical to that from milk. Total calcium absorption increased from 215±45 mg/d to 269± mg/d with the addition of the calcium-fortified cereal (P&lt;0.001). There was no difference in iron absorption when children received the calcium-fortified cereal or unfortified cereal.

N2  - The objective of this study was to determine if acetosyringone affected the expression of aflatoxin biosynthetic genes. Two genes, nor1 and ver1, representing genes whose products are involved in early and late steps in aflatoxin biosynthesis, were examined. Two GUS (β-glucuronidase) reporter constructs, nor1:: GUS (pGAP12) and ver1:: GUS (pGAP13), were used to study the effect of acetosyringone on expression of aflatoxin biosynthetic (AF) genes, nor1 and ver1. The product of nor1 is involved in the formation of norsolorinic acid, the first stable intermediate in the aflatoxin pathway. The ver1 gene codes for the enzyme catalyzing the formation of demethylsterigmatocystin, an intermediate late in the AF pathway. GUS activities of these two reporter constructs were inhibited by 80% in the presence of 2 m mol l-1 acetosyringone. Aflatoxin production in a toxigenic strain 42-12 was also shown to be inhibited by acetosyringone to the same level. The levels of inhibition in aflatoxin production and gene transcription are congruous in these three strains. Recent studies have indicated that some phenolics act as signal molecules in plant microbial interactions. Concentration of acetosyringone is shown to increase about ten fold when certain metabolically active plant tissues are wounded. The knowledge gained can be applied to develop strategies in plant breeding programmes. The compound may be useful for studying molecular mechanism of modulating aflatoxin biosynthesis.

N2  - Reports of mosquito baculoviruses are extremely uncommon and epizootics in field populations are rarely observed. We describe a baculovirus that was responsible for repeated and extended epizootics in field populations of Culex nigripalpus and C. quinquefasciatus over a 2 year period. These mosquito species are important vectors of St Louis and Eastern equine encephalitis in the United States. Our initial attempts to transmit this baculovirus to mosquitoes in the laboratory were unsuccessful. A salt mixture similar to that found in water supporting infection in the field was used in laboratory bioassays and indicated that certain salts were crucial to transmission of the virus. Further investigations revealed conclusively that transmission is mediated by divalent cations: magnesium is essential, whereas calcium inhibits virus transmission. These findings represent a major advancement in our understanding of the transmission of baculoviruses in mosquitoes and will allow characterization of the virus in the laboratory. In addition, they can explain, in great part, conditions that support epizootics in natural populations of mosquitoes that vector life-threatening diseases of man and animals.

N2  - Objective: To compare qualitative descriptions of the same food items eaten by different persons using 24-hour dietary recall interviews. Design: Eleven pairs of subjects were interviewed twice using 24-hour dietary recalls such that each member of the pair described the same day's foods. Each pair shared a home and ate at least 2 meals together daily. After each interview, subjects were asked to identify the foods reported during the interview that they observed the other member of their pair consuming and to note when a particular food was the only item of that type available in the house. Qualitative descriptions of the foods were compared, differences in descriptions were noted, and calculations were made of the potential energy error produced if a subject erred in reporting a food item. Subjects/setting: Subjects were randomly selected from a database of persons who have participated in other studies at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, USA [date not given]. Ten pairs were husbands and wives and 1 pair was sisters. Each pair reported eating at least 2 meals per day together. Dietary recall interviews were done at the Research Center and were conducted by a trained dietitian in a quiet room free of distractions. Results: Discrepancies in qualitative food descriptions were identified for every subject pair interviewed. Men were found to be more likely to omit food items than women, snack items were more likely to be omitted than meal items, meat items were likely to be described inaccurately, and first interviews were likely to contain more errors than second interviews. Applications/conclusions: This analysis shows which types of food items are most likely to be omitted or inaccurately described, and that dietetics professionals may improve the accuracy of dietary intake interviews by asking questions related to meat, milk, and snacks very carefully. The analysis also showed reductions in recall inconsistencies from the first recall to the second recall, suggesting that the learning associated with repeated interviews may be helpful in accurately identifying what a person consumes.

N2  - A nutrient database developed by the Nutrient Data Laboratory of the USDA is described. A multi-nutrient model was used that evaluated the data for 5 categories: sampling plan; sample handling; number of samples; analytical method; and analytical quality control. Specific criteria and decision trees were developed to facilitate the rating of each category. These ratings led to the generation of a confidence code for each analytical value. The newly modified system proved to be more detail oriented, specific and objective to allow better scrutiny of the data. The system will provided systematic documentation and a CC for every analytical value entered into the database, which in turn can be used to select reliable data for specific applications.

N2  - A well-established model for estimating dietary mineral intakes was modified for use (minerals in a single container form a single lot of a single representative brand purchased in a single city was analysed in triplicate). The 234 foods identified in the model are representative of the average US diet. Mineral concentrations in analysed representative foods are tabulated (available at: www.eatright.org). 11 representative foods were mineral-rich (i.e., ranked highest in mineral concentration for 3 or more minerals): oat ring cereal, granola with raisins, peanut butter, peanuts, bran cereal with raisins, pecans, liver, biscuits, American cheese, creams substitute, and shredded wheat cereal. Estimated daily intakes for Americans from 8 age-sex groups: infants (aged 6 to 11 months); toddlers (aged 2 years); and male and female adolescents (aged 14 to 16 years), adults (aged 25 to 30 years) and seniors (aged 60 to 65 years), are presented.

N2  - Objective: To investigate the fat-reduction strategies used by a group of older adults who successfully made and maintained positive dietary changes for 5 years or longer. Design: Participants completed 2 copies of a self-administered food frequency questionnaire: The first copy assessed diet before they began making changes and the second copy assessed diet after initiation of healthful dietary changes. Positive food changes were identified from the food frequency questionnaires. During in-person interviews, participants placed food changes onto a time line according to the nearest estimated date of initiation of the change. Subjects: Participants were 65 free-living older adults (aged &gt;50 years) who had maintained substantial changes to decrease fat intake in their diet for at least 5 years [USA; date not given]. Results: The majority of participants decreased their fat intake gradually, at different time points in their lives, and over a long period of time (5 to 43 years). Mean percent energy intake from fat decreased from 44.3±5.9% before dietary improvement to 25.9±7.1% at the time of the study. The final model consisted of 5 fat-reduction strategies with 63 food changes. The strategies were: increase summer fruits (4 items; kr=0.66), increase vegetables and grains (14 items; kr=0.79), decrease recreational foods (14 items; kr=0.76), decrease cooking fat (20 items; kr=0.86), and use fat-modified foods (11 items; kr=0.80).

N2  - C. jejuni is now recognized as a leading foodborne pathogen, for which poultry products constitute the main transmission route. Two alternative immunomagnetic beads (IMB) were tested for direct detection of C. jejuni ATCC 35918 in artificially inoculated ground poultry meats and culture suspension. Polyclonal anti-Campylobacter antibodies were used to coat tosylactivated Dynabeads. The same antibodies conjugated with biotin were used to label streptavidin-coated beads. After these beads were incubated with inoculated poultry slurry or culture suspension, Campylobacter-bead complexes were separated from other components with a magnet. The capture efficiency was tested by plating bead-captured cells and unbound cells in the supernatant onto Karmali agar. The effects of different coating procedures, incubation time (60, 90, 120 min), numbers of immunomagnetic beads (106 to 107/ml) and innoculum levels (103 to 107 CFU/g or ml) were determined. Without pre-enrichment, this approach could detect 104 CFU/g of ground poultry meats. These methods represent a new approach to extracting, concentrating and isolating Campylobacter spp. directly from foods.

N2  - An enzyme that degraded glycosaminoglycan hyaluronic acid was released during in vitro development of Ascaris suum L3 to L4. The enzyme did not hydrolyse glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate A. One molecular form of hyaluronidase was detected, with a molecular weight estimated at 47.8±8.6 kDa by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and at 55.0±1.3 kDa by substrate SDS-PAGE zymography. Activity of the enzyme was optimal between pH 5.0 and 6.0, and was present at neutral pH. Hyaluronidase activity was not affected by 5 mM concentrations of cupric sulfate, zinc chloride, calcium chloride, manganese chloride or EDTA. In addition, NaCl had no effect on enzyme activity at concentrations of 0.2-1.0 M. The highest level of hyaluronidase was present in culture fluid collected between days 4 and 6 of in vitro culture, and this period corresponded with that of the highest rate of increase in the percentage of L4. The presence or absence of hyaluronic acid plays a key role in basic developmental processes of vertebrates and is regulated, in part, by hyaluronidases. Developmental processes occurring during the transition of A. suum L3 to L4 may likewise depend on hyaluronidase. In addition, the infection process of a number of organisms, including some nematodes, depends on hyaluronidase. A. suum may likewise utilize hyaluronidase to facilitate larval migration within the host.

N2  - Myrothecium verrucaria was found to be an effective pathogen against kudzu (P. montana) grown in the greenhouse and the field. (Minnesota, USA). M. verrucaria produced large amounts of macrocyclic trichothecenes when cultured on solid rice medium, including epiroridin E (16.8 mg/g crude extract), epiisororidin E (1 mg/g), roridin E (8.7 mg/g), roridin H (31.3 mg/g), trichoverrin A (0.6 mg/g), trichoverrin B (0.1 mg/g), verrucarin A (37.4 mg/g), and verrucarin J (2.2 mg/g). Most of these toxins were also isolated from M. verrucaria spores and mycelia grown on potato dextrose agar medium, including epiroridin E (32.3 mg/g), epiisororidin E (28.6 mg/g), roridin E (0 mg/g), roridin H (60 mg/g), trichoverrin A (1.3 mg/g), trichoverrin B (1.8 mg/g), verrucarin A (13.8 mg/g), and verrucarin J (131 mg/g). When M. verrucaria was cultured on liquid media, the numbers but not the amounts of toxins decreased. Only epiroridin E (28.3 mg/g), epiisororidin E (29.6 mg/g), verrucarin B (195 mg/g) and verrucarin J (52.6 mg/g) were measured when the fungus was cultured on cornsteep medium. On soyaflour-maizemeal broth M. verrucaria produced several toxins, including epiroridin E (58.1 mg/g), epiisororidin E (5.8 mg/g), verrucarin B (29.9 mg/g) and verrucarin J (32 mg/g). In contrast, no macrocyclic trichothecenes were detected by HPLC analysis of plant tissues of kudzu, sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia), and soyabean (Glycine max) treated with aqueous suspensions of M. verrucaria spores formulated with a surfactant. Chloroform-methanol extracts of kudzu leaves and stems treated with M. verrucaria spores were less cytotoxic to four cultured mammalian cell lines than the corresponding extracts from control plants. Purified macrocyclic trichothecenes (verrucarin A and T-2 toxin) were very cytotoxic to the same cell lines (≤2 ng/ml). These results show that neither intact macrocyclic trichothecenes nor toxic metabolites could be detected in plant tissues after treatment with M. verrucaria spores. These results argue for both safety and efficacy for the use of M. verrucaria in biological control of kudzu and other noxious weeds, and support proceeding to animal feeding trials for further evaluation of safety.

N2  - Background: Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV is a major component of triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein (TRL) apolipoproteins. Objective: We investigated the effects of dietary saturated fat and cholesterol restriction on the metabolism of TRL and plasma apo A-IV. Design: We assessed TRL and plasma apo A-IV kinetics in 16 and 4 subjects from Massachusetts, USA respectively, consuming an average US (baseline) diet for 6 weeks and a National Cholesterol Education Program Step II diet for 24 weeks, respectively [date not given]. At the end of each diet period, all subjects received a primed, constant infusion of deuterated leucine for 15 h with hourly feeding. Ratios of stable-isotope tracer to tracee were measured by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and kinetic data were modelled by using SAAM II. Results: Mean apo A-IV concentrations during the isotope infusion period were 6.9±2.6 mg/litre in TRL and 2.2±3.2 mg/litre in plasma with the baseline diet; these values were 37.7% (P&lt;0.001) and 19.4% (P&lt;0.01) lower with the Step II diet. Similar changes were observed in the fasting state between the 2 diets. The mean apo A-IV secretion rate decreased significantly from baseline by 59.6% in TRLs and by 40.2% in plasma. Significant correlations were observed between TRL apo A-IV concentrations and the secretion rate (r = 0.94, P&lt;0.001) and between TRL apo A-IV pool size and TRL-cholesterol concentrations (r = 0.48, P&lt;0.01). Conclusions: Our data indicate that the National Cholesterol Education Program Step II diet significantly decreases TRL and plasma apo A-IV concentrations compared with the average US diet and that this decrease is due to a decreased secretion rate.

N2  - Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the cause of the food-borne salmonellosis pandemic in humans, in part because it has the unique ability to contaminate eggs without causing discernible illness in the birds infected. The infection route to humans involves colonization, survival and multiplication of the pathogen in the hen house environment, the bird and, finally, the egg. This review highlights the stages of transmission and discusses evidence that altered bacterial growth patterns and specific cell surface characteristics contribute to the adaptation of S. enteritidis to these diverse environments.

N2  - Atherosclerosis, a primary cause of myocardial infarction (MI), is an inflammatory disease. Aspirin use lowers risk of MI, probably through antithrombotic and antiinflammatory effects. Because serum ferritin (SF) can be elevated spuriously by inflammation, reported associations between elevated SF, used as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease could be confounded by occult inflammation and aspirin use if they affect SF independently of iron status. We tested the hypothesis that aspirin use is associated with reduced SF. We used analysis of covariance to investigate the relation between SF and categories of aspirin use in 913 elderly participants from Massachusetts, USA, aged 67-96 years in the Framingham Heart Study [date not given]. After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol use, concentrations of C-reactive protein and liver enzymes, white blood cell count, and use of nonaspirin nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and other medications, subjects who took &gt;7 aspirins/week had a significantly lower (by 25%) geometric mean SF than did nonusers, who took &lt;1 aspirin/week (71 compared with 95 µg/litre, respectively; P for trend=0.004). This effect of aspirin on SF was more marked in diseased subjects than in healthy subjects (mean SF was 50% lower compared with 21% lower, respectively). Aspirin use is associated with lower SF. We suggest this effect results from possible increased occult blood loss and a cytokine-mediated effect on SF in subjects with inflammation, infection, or liver disease. The relations between aspirin, inflammation, and SF may confound epidemiological associations between elevated SF, as an indicator of iron stores, and heart disease risk.

These mutant mice are commonly used as a model for the study of human haemochromatosis, a hereditary iron-overload disease. Results revealed that the initial uptake of 54Mn by the intestinal mucosa, the liver, and the brain was not different between the 2 strains. The mutant mice had much higher concentrations of nonheme and total iron in the liver, but hepatic manganese, copper, magnesium, and zinc concentrations were similar between the 2 strains. In summary, the mucosal uptake and whole-body retention of manganese and tissue manganese concentrations were not altered in β2m(-/-) mice; this suggests that normal homeostasis of manganese is not affected by the altered HFE protein (a major histocompatibility complex class-I-like protein)-β2m complex in these mice.

N2  - Sweet whey solids (SWS) or whey protein concentrate (WPC) were added at concentrations of 250 and 500 g/kg to corn meal, rice or potato flour to make snack products. Extrusion processing conditions included low shear, high shear, and the combination of high shear/low moisture. Increased specific mechanical energy (SME) was desired for expanding products, but SME was reduced as a result of incorporating WPC and SWS. Quality indices for expansion and breaking strength decreased significantly (P &lt; 0.05), indicating poor textural effects. By reducing the moisture and adding reverse screw elements, SME was increased, which increased product expansion and breaking strength.

N2  - Zinc homeostasis and normal plasma zinc concentrations are maintained over a wide range of intakes. The objective was to identify the homeostatic response to severe zinc depletion by using compartmental analysis [USA; date not given]. Stable zinc isotope tracers were administered intravenously to 5 men at baseline (12.2 mg dietary Zn/d) and after 5 wk of acute zinc depletion (0.23 mg/d). Compartmental modelling of zinc metabolism was performed by using tracer and mass data in plasma, urine, and faeces collected over 6.14 d. The plasma zinc concentration fell 65% on average after 5 wk of zinc depletion. The model predicted that fractional zinc absorption increased from 26% to essentially 100%. The rate constants for zinc excretion in the urine and gastrointestinal tract decreased 96% and 74%, respectively. The rate constants describing the distribution kinetics of plasma zinc did not change significantly. When zinc depletion was simulated by using an average mass model of zinc metabolism at baseline, the only change that accounted for the observed fall in plasma zinc concentration was a 60% reduction in the rate constant for zinc release from the most slowly turning over zinc pool. The large changes in zinc intake, excretion, and absorption - even when considered together - only explained modest reductions in plasma zinc mass. The kinetic analysis with a compartmental model suggests that the profound decrease in plasma zinc concentrations after 5 wk of severe zinc depletion was mainly due to a decrease in the rate of zinc release from the most slowly turning over body zinc pool.

N2  - Variability in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the 2 most prevalent Salmonella serotypes causing food-borne salmonellosis was assessed using gas chromatography analysis of neutral sugars from 43 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S Enteritidis) and 20 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) isolates. Four substantially different types of O-chain chemotypes were detected using cluster analysis of sugar compositions; these were low-molecular-mass (LMM) LPS, glucosylated LMM LPS, high-molecular-mass (HMM) LPS and glucosylated HMM LPS. 19 of 20 S. Typhimurium isolates yielded glucosylated LMM. In contrast, S. Enteritidis produced a more diverse structure, which varied according to the source and history of the isolate: 45.5% of egg isolates yielded glucosylated HMM LPS; 100% of stored strains lacked glucosylation but retained chain length in some cases; and 83.3% of fresh isolates from the naturally infected house mouse Mus musculus produced glucosylated LMM LPS. A chain length determinant (wzz) mutant of S. Enteritidis produced a structure similar to that of S. Typhimurium and was used to define what constituted significant differences in structure using cluster analysis. Fine mapping of the S. Enteritidis chromosome by means of a two-restriction enzyme-ribotyping technique suggested that mouse isolates producing glucosylated LMM LPS were closely related to orally invasive strains obtained from eggs, and that stored strains were accumulating genetic changes that correlated with suppression of LPS O-chain glucosylation. These results suggest that the determination of LPS chemotype is a useful tool for epidemiological monitoring of S. Enteritidis, which displays an unusual degree of diversity in its LPS O-chain.

N2  - The purpose of this study was to examine whether the hypocholesterolaemic effect of aspirin is to due to its antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress was induced in rats by feeding them a copper-deficient diet. Copper deficiency reduced the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lowered liver copper concentration, but elevated liver iron. The combination of reduced SOD activity, high liver iron and low liver copper resulted in an oxidative stress assessed by increased liver lipid peroxidation compared with copper-adequate controls. In addition, copper-deficient rats exhibited elevation of blood cholesterol. The administration of aspirin lowered both liver lipid peroxidation and blood cholesterol. It is suggested that the hypocholesterolaemic properties of aspirin could be due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress.

N2  - The effect of alcohol drinking on LDL-cholesterol concentrations is unclear. The reported variability may be due to interactions between genetic factors and alcohol intake. The purpose of the study was to examine whether variation at the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) locus modulates the association between alcohol drinking and LDL cholesterol. We used a cross-sectional design in a healthy population-based sample of 1014 men and 1133 women from the Framingham Offspring Study conducted during 1992-95 in Massachusetts, USA. In male nondrinkers (n = 197), LDL cholesterol was not significantly different across APOE allele groups (APOE*E2 (E2), APOE*E3 (E3), and APOE*E4 (E4)). However, in male drinkers (n = 817), differences were observed (P &lt; 0.001); those with the E2 allele had the lowest concentrations. LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele was significantly lower in drinkers than in nondrinkers but was significantly higher in drinkers than in nondrinkers in men with the E4 allele. This APOE-alcohol interaction remained significant (P &lt; 0.001) after age, body mass index, smoking status, and fat and energy intakes were controlled for. In women, the expected effect of APOE alleles on LDL cholesterol occurred in both drinkers (n = 791; P &lt; 0.001) and nondrinkers (n = 342; P &lt; 0.001). Multiple linear regression models showed a negative association (P &lt; 0.05) between alcohol and LDL cholesterol in men with the E2 allele but a positive association in men with the E4 allele. No significant associations were observed in men or women with the E3 allele. In men, the effects of alcohol intake on LDL cholesterol are modulated in part by variability at the APOE locus.

N2  - Although iron deficiency occurs commonly in vulnerable groups of women of reproductive age, infants, and children, less is known about the iron nutriture of the elderly. Our objective was to evaluate the iron status of a non-institutionalized, elderly US population, with a particular focus on 2 concerns unique to the elderly: (1) potential confounding effects of chronic disease on iron measures and (2) increased occurrence of elevated iron stores. Multiple iron measures, including serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation, mean cell volume, and haemoglobin, were used to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID), iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), and other measures of iron nutriture in 1016 elderly white Americans aged 67-96 years from the Framingham Heart Study, initiated in 1948-50 (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA). "Diseased" subjects were defined as those with possible pathologically altered iron measures due to inflammation, infection, elevated liver enzymes, hereditary haemochromatosis, or cancer. The effect of altered iron status on various prevalence estimates was assessed. The elderly subjects had a low prevalence of ID (2.7%), IDA (1.2%), and depleted iron stores (3%; SF &lt; 12 µg/litre). In contrast, 12.9% had elevated iron stores (SF &gt; 300 µg/litre in men and SF &gt; 200 µg/litre in women), of which only 1% was attributable to chronic disease. The prevalence of ID, IDA, and depleted iron stores was unaffected by the presence of chronic disease. The Framingham Heart Study cohort is an iron-replete elderly population with a high prevalence of elevated iron stores in contrast with a low prevalence of iron deficiency, with insignificant effects of chronic disease on these iron status estimates. The likely liability in iron nutriture in free-living, elderly white Americans eating a Western diet is high iron stores, not iron deficiency.

N2  - Established determinants of fasting total homocysteine (tHcy) concentration include folate and vitamin B-12 status, serum creatinine concentration, and renal function. Our objective was to examine the relation between known and suspected determinants of fasting plasma tHcy in a population-based cohort. We examined the relations between fasting plasma tHcy concentrations and nutritional and other health factors in 1960 men and women, aged 28-82 years, from the fifth examination cycle of the Framingham Offspring Study (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) between 1991 and 1994, before the implementation of folic acid fortification. Geometric mean tHcy was 11% higher in men than in women and 23% higher in persons aged ≥65 years than in persons aged &lt;45 years (P &lt; 0.001). tHcy was associated with plasma folate, vitamin B-12, and pyridoxal phosphate (P for trend &lt; 0.001). Dietary folate, vitamin B-6, and riboflavin were associated with tHcy among non-supplement users (P for trend &lt; 0.01). The tHcy concentrations of persons who used vitamin B supplements were 18% lower than those of persons who did not (P &lt; 0.001). tHcy was positively associated with alcohol intake (P for trend = 0.004), caffeine intake (P for trend &lt; 0.001), serum creatinine (P for trend &lt; 0.001), number of cigarettes smoked (P for trend &lt; 0.001), and antihypertensive medication use (P &lt; 0.001). Our study confirmed, in a population-based setting, the importance of the known determinants of fasting tHcy and suggested that other dietary and lifestyle factors, including vitamin B-6, riboflavin, alcohol, and caffeine intakes as well as smoking and hypertension, influence circulating tHcy concentrations.

N2  - Flavonoids may exert their health benefit in cardiovascular disease by modulating monocyte adhesion in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. Most in vitro studies used forms of flavonoids present in food rather than forms that appear in plasma after ingestion. We tested the effects of plasma metabolites of (+)-catechin and quercetin on the modulation of monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Plasma extracts of flavonoid metabolites were prepared after intragastric administration of pure compounds to rats. The plasma preparations contained sulfate or glucuronide conjugates or both and methylated forms. We measured adhesion of U937 monocytic cells to HAEC and the production of ROS in HAEC when cells were pretreated with either pure compounds or plasma extracts from control or treated rats. Adhesion assays were performed with HAEC stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1β or U937 cells activated with phorbol myristyl acetate; ROS were measured after challenging HAEC with IL-1β or hydrogen peroxide. Pretreatment of HAEC with (+)-catechin metabolites inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-1β-stimulated cells, whereas pretreatment with intact (+)-catechin had no effect. Generation of ROS in hydrogen peroxide-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin, its metabolites, and control plasma extract, whereas ROS generation in IL-1β-stimulated HAEC was inhibited by (+)-catechin metabolites only. In contrast, quercetin inhibited U937 cell adhesion to IL-1β-stimulated HAEC, whereas its metabolites were not effective. Metabolic conversion of flavonoids such as (+)-catechin and quercetin modifies the flavonoids' biological activity. Metabolites of flavonoids, rather than their intact forms, may contribute to the reported effects of flavonoids on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

N2  - High circulating total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations are associated with stroke, which is a major cause of cognitive dysfunction. Blood homocysteine concentrations are inversely correlated with performance on some cognitive-function tests and a relation was recently shown between hyperhomocysteinaemia and Alzheimer disease. The objective was to evaluate the relation between serum tHcy concentrations and performance on short delayed-recall tests of elderly men and women aged ≥60 years, participating in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, phase 2 (1991-94) in Massachusetts, USA. Subjects reported no previous stroke, completed ≥8 years of education, and took a test of delayed recall of story ideas (n = 1200) or words (n = 1270). After adjustment for sex, age, race-ethnicity, income, years of education, and serum creatinine concentration, subjects in the upper half of the folate distribution recalled, on average, &gt;4 of 6 story ideas; subjects with lower folate status recalled significantly fewer ideas (P &lt; 0.001). Of the subjects with low folate status, story recall was significantly poorer in those with serum tHcy concentrations above the 80th percentile of the distribution (13.7 µmol/litre) than in those with lower tHcy concentrations (P &lt; 0.03). The odds ratio relating hyperhomocysteinaemia to recall of ≥1 of 3 previously learned words was 0.3 (95% CI: 0.2, 0.7) after adjustment for the 5 demographic factors alone and was 0.4 (0.2, 0.9) after further adjustment for serum folate concentration. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is related to poor recall and this association was partially independent of folate status.

N2  - Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that are widely distributed in fruit, vegetables, and red wines. Anthocyanin products are also prescribed as medicines in many countries for treating various diseases. However, the pharmacokinetics of dietary anthocyanins are not known in humans because these glycosides were long considered nonabsorbable. The objective of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins can be absorbed as glycosides and to evaluate their pharmacokinetics in humans. Four healthy elderly women from Massachusetts, USA consumed 720 mg anthocyanins [date not given]. A series of blood and urine samples were collected before and after consumption of the anthocyanins. Anthocyanins were measured in plasma and urine by combining an octadecylsilane solid-phase extraction for sample preparation and an HPLC system with diode array for anthocyanin separation and detection. The structures of anthocyanins as glycosides in plasma and urine were further confirmed by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Anthocyanins were detected as glycosides in plasma and urine. The maximum plasma concentration of total anthocyanins varied from 55.3 to 168.3 nmol/litre, with an average of 97.4 nmol/litre, and was reached within 71.3 minutes. The elimination of plasma anthocyanins appeared to follow first-order kinetics. The elimination half-life of plasma total anthocyanins was calculated to be 132.6 minutes. Most anthocyanin compounds were excreted in urine during the first 4 h. The excretion rate of total anthocyanins was 77 µg/h during the first 4 h and 13 µg/h during the second 4 h. Anthocyanins are absorbed in their unchanged glycated forms in elderly women.

N2  - Fat-reduction strategies and the role of fat-modified foods in the US diet were assessed using a nationally representative survey: the 1996 US Department of Agriculture Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. A sample of 878 men and 853 women was included. The sample was divided into low fat and high fat based on the Dietary Guideline's cutoff point of 30% or less of energy from total fat. The survey sample was further stratified in nonusers, low-users or high-users of fat-modified foods. Approximately 10% of 7000 foods were classified as fat-modified. There was a 400-500 kcal difference in energy intake of individuals consuming low-fat compared with high-fat diets. Adults who were users of fat-modified foods consumed more nutrient-dense diets, with higher intakes of vitamin A, folate, and iron. Not all fat-reduction strategies were equally effective in reducing fat and maintaining nutrient intake. Nonusers of fat-modified foods who consumed a low-fat diet tended to do so by substituting carbohydrate, in part from carbonated beverages, for fat. Both men and women consuming a low-fat diet had lower average BMIs; this difference between individuals consuming low-fat vs. high-fat diets was significant for women who were high-users of fat-modified foods. The data suggest that a low-fat diet with high use of fat-modified foods may be one strategy for achieving adequate nutrient intake while maintaining weight in the desirable BMI range of 19 to 25.

N2  - A series of ELISAs based on anti-sulfathiazole (STZ) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were developed that can detect STZ below the tolerance level in tissues. The IC50 values (concentrations of STZ inhibiting 50% of binding in a competitive ELISA) for each MAb ranged from 6 to 21 ng ml-1 of STZ. Immunoassays based upon two MAbs, STZ-23 and SDM-44, were evaluated for their assay performance using swine liver samples spiked with STZ. Swine liver tissue was analyzed without a complex sample preparation step, with only a simple dilution of swine liver extract being necessary. A good correlation between immunoassay results and spike levels in swine liver (R2 &gt; 0.98) was obtained, demonstrating that the immunoassays are capable of quantifying STZ in swine liver. The cross-reactivities of other sulfonamide drugs and STZ metabolites in these immunoassays were also examined.

N2  - Pigs are considered an important source of Toxoplasma gondii infection for humans. A major strategy for immune prophylaxis of toxoplasmosis in swine is the understanding of the immune response against T. gondii infection. The phenotype of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the kinetics of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) transcriptional changes were characterized in miniature swine following infection. A total of 66 4- to 9-month-old miniature swine were used for three experiments performed over a period of 2 years. All pigs were fed about 1000 oocysts of the VEG strain of T. gondii and blood samples were obtained on the day of inoculation and at days 3, 6, 10, 17, 25, 32 and 40 after infection. An increase in expression of activation markers CD25 and SLA-DQ was detected in the first week of infection. A significant increase in the percentage of CD8+ cells was observed in the second week of infection. Relative competitive RT-PCR analysis indicated an increase in IFN-γ mRNA as well as a reduction in IL-10 mRNA during the second week post infection. Increase in IL-12 transcription was not observed until the fourth week of infection. The ability of the pigs to respond to T. gondii infection by simultaneously inducing pro-inflammatory cytokines early and anti-inflammatory cytokines later is a likely indication of the requirement to strike a balance between controlling parasite growth and avoiding cytokine toxicity.

N2  - Five legume seeds (kidney beans, green peas, black beans, lentil and pinto beans) were heated by infrared to a surface temperature of 140°C. The changes in chemical composition, physical, mechanical and functional properties of the processed seeds were measured and compared to those of the raw seeds. Significant changes in the properties of the seeds in terms of increased volume, lower rupture point and toughness, higher water uptake and higher leaching losses (when the seeds were soaked in water) were obtained. The changes in the physical and mechanical properties were attributed to possible cracking of the seed. Even though trypsin inhibitor activity was reduced, infrared heating did not significantly affect the starch and protein components of the seeds. The functional characteristics of flour from the infrared-heated seeds were superior to those of flour from untreated seeds.

AB  - Abstract: Several activities of the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health involve enhancement of dietary supplement databases. These include an initiative with US Department of Agriculture to develop an analytically substantiated dietary supplement ingredient database (DSID) and collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics to enhance the dietary supplement label database in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The many challenges that must be dealt with in developing an analytically supported DSID include categorizing product types in the database, identifying nutrients, and other components of public health interest in these products and prioritizing which will be entered in the database first. Additional tasks include developing methods and reference materials for quantifying the constituents, finding qualified laboratories to measure the constituents, developing appropriate sample handling procedures, and finally developing representative sampling plans. Developing the NHANES dietary supplement label database has other challenges such as collecting information on dietary supplement use from NHANES respondents, constant updating and refining of information obtained, developing default values that can be used if the respondent cannot supply the exact supplement or strength that was consumed, and developing a publicly available label database. Federal partners and the research community are assisting in making an analytically supported dietary supplement database a reality. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Compared with other sequenced animal genomes, human segmental duplications appear larger, more interspersed, and disproportionately represented as high-sequence identity alignments. Global sequence divergence estimates of human duplications have suggested an expansion relatively recently during hominoid evolution. Based on primate comparative sequence analysis of 37 unique duplication-transition regions, we establish a molecular clock for their divergence that shows a significant increase in their effective substitution rate when compared with unique genomic sequence. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses from 1053 random nonhuman primate BACs indicate that great-ape species have been enriched for interspersed segmental duplications compared with representative Old World and New World monkeys. These findings support computational analyses that show a 12-fold excess of recent (>98%) intrachromosomal duplications when compared with duplications between nonhomologous chromosomes. These architectural shifts in genomic structure and elevated substitution rates have important implications for the emergence of new genes, gene-expression differences, and structural variation among humans and great apes.

AB  - This handbook presents help for commercial printers to cut the cost of energy in their business establishments. It shows how to recognize and act on energy waste in: interior and security lighting; space heating; air conditioning; process, and general plant maintenance. The distribution of energy use varies widely among printing facilities, but certain conclusions can be drawn. Process energy, generally electricity, typically consumes 30 to 50% of total energy costs in the operation of presses and trimmers, compressed air generation, and production of binders. Lighting is a significant expense, and may consume up to 33% of energy expenses. Heating and air conditioning are seasonal and show the expected climatic variations--from 15 to 38%. Hot water generally represents 1 to 20% of total costs and is usually represented in heating costs

N2  - Bioactive compound(s) extracted from cinnamon potentiate insulin activity, as measured by glucose oxidation in the rat epididymal fat cell assay. Wortmannin, a potent PI 3′-kinase inhibitor, decreases the biological response to insulin and bioactive compound(s) from cinnamon similarly, indicating that cinnamon is affecting an element(s) upstream of PI 3′-kinase. Enzyme studies done in vitro show that the bioactive compound(s) can stimulate autophosphorylation of a truncated form of the insulin receptor and can inhibit PTP-1, a rat homolog of a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP-1B) that inactivates the insulin receptor. No inhibition was found with alkaline phosphate or calcineurin suggesting that the active material is not a general phosphatase inhibitor. It is suggested, then, that a cinnamon compound(s), like insulin, affects protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions in the intact adipocyte. Bioactive cinnamon compounds may find further use in studies of insulin resistance in adult-onset diabetes. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

All tested products produced significant post-treatment KD and 24 h mortality of all 3 mosquito species. In our study, the synthetic organic repellents induced faster KD and KD of higher magnitude in adult mosquitoes than the botanical product repellents except geraniol-based MosquitoSafeÖ. All tested formulations except 2 botanical repellent products caused 100% 24-h mortality of Ae. aegypti and all but I caused 100% 24-h mortality of Ae. albopictus and An. quadrimaculatus

AB  - HEALTHLIT Abstract: The heat resistance of a four-strain mixture of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was tested. The temperature range was 55-62.5 degrees Celsius and the substrate was beef at pH 4.5 or 5.5, adjusted with either acetic or lactic acid. Inoculated meat, packaged in bags, was completely immersed in a circulating water bath and cooked to an internal temperature of 55, 58, 60, or 62.5 degrees Celsius in 1 h, and then held for pre-determined lengths of time. The surviving cell population was enumerated by spiral plating meat samples on tryptic soy agar overlaid with Sorbitol MacConkey agar. Regardless of the acidulant used to modify the pH, the D-values at all temperatures were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in ground beef at pH 4.5 as compared with the beef at pH 5.5. At the same pH levels, acetic acid rendered E. coli O157:H7 more sensitive to the lethal effect of heat. The analysis of covariance showed evidence of a significant acidulant and pH interaction on the slopes of the survivor curves at 55 degrees Celsius. Based on the thermal-death-time values, contaminated ground beef (pH 5.5/lactic acid) should be heated to an internal temperature of 55 degrees Celsius for at least 116.3 min and beef (pH 4.5/acetic acid) for 64.8 min to achieve a 4-log reduction of the pathogen. The heating time at 62.5 degrees Celsius, to achieve the same level of reduction, was 4.4 and 2.6 min, respectively. Thermal-death-time values from this study will assist the retail food processors in designing acceptance limits on critical control points that ensure safety of beef originally contaminated with E. coli O157:H7

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Fumonisins are a family of toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides (formerly Fusarium moniliforme), a common fungal contaminant of maize. Fumonisins inhibit ceramide synthase, causing accumulation of bioactive intermediates of sphingolipid metabolism (sphinganine and other sphingoid bases and derivatives) as well as depletion of complex sphingolipids, which interferes with the function of some membrane proteins, including the folate-binding protein (human folate receptor alpha). Fumonisin causes neural tube and craniofacial defects in mouse embryos in culture. Many of these effects are prevented by supplemental folic acid. Recent studies in LMBc mice found that fumonisin exposure in utero increases the frequency of developmental defects and administration of folate or a complex sphingolipid is preventive. High incidences of neural tube defects (NTD) occur in some regions of the world where substantial consumption of fumonisins has been documented or plausibly suggested (Guatemala, South Africa, and China); furthermore, a recent study of NTD in border counties of Texas found a significant association between NTD and consumption of tortillas during the first trimester. Hence, we propose that fumonisins are potential risk factors for NTD, craniofacial anomalies, and other birth defects arising from neural crest cells because of their apparent interference with folate utilization

N2  - The cuticular hydrocarbon fractions (alkanes and alkenes) of female Glossina austeni and G. pallidipes were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The alkane fractions of conspecific females from several locations were analysed to determine differences and similarities. Results showed that G. austeni females are clustered into 3 groups, whereas the G. pallidipes females were clustered into 2 groups. The sex stimulant activity of these hydrocarbon fractions from G. austeni were analysed and showed that the alkene fraction and not the alkane fraction was active. The technical information presented here may be useful in planning a control scheme for these disease vectors.

N2  - Simultaneous determination of constituents (e.g. dietary fibre, protein, fat) by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy would increase the speed and efficiency of nutrient analysis while substantially reducing the cost. Previous work has described the development of NIR reflectance models for the prediction of dietary fibre in a diverse group of cereal food products. While NIR spectroscopy has been used to measure protein content in cereal samples comprised of a single grain type, the utility of the NIR technique would be greatly improved if it could be expanded to cereal products derived from a diverse cross-section of grains and formulations. The present study was conducted to investigate the potential of NIR spectroscopy for the analysis of protein in a data set that included products with numerous grains, such as wheat, oats, rice, rye, corn, millet, buckwheat and with a wide range of fat, sugar and fibre contents. In addition, numerous processing techniques and food additives were represented in the data set. Nitrogen content of dry-milled cereal products was measured by combustion analysis (AOAC Method 992.23) and the range in nitrogen values was from 0.65% to 3.31% of dry weight. Milled cereal products were scanned from 1100 to 2500 nm with a scanning monochromator. A nitrogen calibration was developed, using a commercial analysis programme, with modified partial least squares as the regression method. The standard error of cross validation and R2 for nitrogen (n=147 calibration samples) were 0.090% and 0.973, respectively. Independent validation samples (n=72) were predicted with a standard error of performance of 0.079% nitrogen and r2 of 0.984. Because of the diversity of grains in the data set, crude protein was calculated using two nitrogen-to-protein conversion methods and two PLS models were developed for the prediction of crude protein. Crude protein was predicted with a similar precision to nitrogen and the results for both protein models are within the precision required for US nutrition labelling legislation. In conclusion, NIR reflectance spectroscopy can be used for rapid and accurate prediction of nitrogen and crude protein content in a heterogeneous group of cereal products comprised of a wide cross-section of grains and formulations.

N2  - This paper provides a comprehensive overview of existing chromatographic methods for the analysis of tocol-derived lipid antioxidants in various sample matrices. After a brief introductory discussion on biological and nutritional aspects of the vitamin E active compounds, the review focuses on various techniques for the isolation, purification, chromatographic separation, and detection of tocopherols and tocotrienols. Compiled published normal-phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods demonstrate general trends and analytical variability and versatility of HPLC methodology. The relative merits of the two HPLC methods are assessed. NP and RP elution characteristics are delineated to aid in the identification of antioxidant components. Technical novelty of certain analytical procedures for non-food samples warrants their inclusion in this review in light of the potential applicability in food assays.

N2  - The possibility that oestrogen status modulates total homocysteine concentration, a risk factor for vascular occlusion, was examined in a representative sample of the US population, the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (phase 2), 1991-1994. The geometric mean serum total homocysteine concentration was compared among population subgroups differing on inferred oestrogen status, after adjusting for potential confounding by age, race-ethnicity, smoking, and the serum concentration of creatinine, folate, and vitamin B12. Results revealed that premenopausal women aged 17-54 years had a lower mean serum total homocysteine concentration (8.1 µmol/litre, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.9, 8.2) than men in the same age range (8.9 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 8.6, 9.3). In the age range 17-44 years, pregnant women (6.0 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 5.4, 6.8), but not oral contraceptive users (7.9 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 7.6, 8.2), had a lower mean serum total homocysteine concentration than nonpregnant, non-oral-contraceptive-using women (8.1 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 7.9, 8.2). The mean serum total homocysteine concentration of oestrogen-using women aged ≥55 years (9.5 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 8.9, 10.1) was significantly decreased relative to nonoestrogen users (10.7 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 10.3, 11.1) and men (10.4 µmol/litre, 95% CI: 9.8, 11.0) in the same age range. These findings suggest that higher oestrogen status is associated with a decreased mean serum total homocysteine concentration, independent of nutritional status and muscle mass, and that oestrogen may explain the previously reported male-female difference in total homocysteine concentration.

N2  - Bird strikes to aircraft are a serious economic and safety problem in the United States, annually causing millions of dollars in damage to civilian and military aircraft and the occasional loss of human life. We observed movements of 1236 neckbanded lesser Canada geese (Branta canadensis parvipes) to determine efficacy of hazing as a means to reduce goose presence at Elmendorf Air Force Base (EAFB), Anchorage, Alaska from August to October 1997. Emphasis was on movements of geese onto EAFB with additional data collected at the other two major airports in the area, Anchorage International Airport (AIA) and Merrill Field Airport (MFA). Daily observations indicated the presence of 208 individual neckbanded geese on EAFB, and 20% returned more than once after being hazed from EAFB. We identified three staging areas, geese utilized prior to entering EAFB, and three post-hazing dispersal sites. Collared geese began moving onto EAFB 30-40 days post-molt with the largest proportions moving onto EAFB 70-90 days post-molt. We observed 75 neckbanded geese on AIA from seven moulting sites, and 23% returned more than once after being hazed from AIA. We observed 141 neckbanded geese on MFA from 14 moulting sites, and 21% returned more than once after being hazed from MFA. Our data indicated that as long as local goose populations increase, large numbers of Anchorage area geese are likely to enter one of the airports creating a variety of management problems. Hazed geese returning to airports multiple times present a special hazard to aircraft safety because they appear to have become habituated to non-lethal scare tactics. We recommend an integrated management approach to limit the Anchorage area goose population utilizing various control techniques which are acceptable to Anchorage residents while continuing the hazing program at area airports.

N2  - Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging food and waterborne pathogen in the USA and internationally. This work aims to develop a dose-response model for illness by this organism that bounds the uncertainty in the dose-response relationship. No human clinical trial data were available for E. coli O157:H7, but such data were available for two surrogate pathogens: enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and Shigella dysenteriae. E. coli O157:H7 outbreak data provided an initial estimate of the most likely value of the dose-response relationship within the bounds of an envelope defined by beta-Poisson dose-response models fit to the EPEC and S. dysenteriae data. The most likely value of the median effective dose for E. coli O157:H7 was estimated to be approximately 190 000 colony forming units (cfu). At a dose level of 100 cfu, the median response predicted by the model was six percent.

N2  - Wild G. austeni and G. pallidipes appear in many different populations. All conspecific flies possess similar surface hydrocarbons that include species-specific contact sex pheromones. Recently, evidence for a contact sex stimulant was found in the surface hydrocarbons extracted from female G. austeni. The bioactive hydrocarbon fraction contained alkanes and unsaturated hydrocarbons that were separated and analysed by GC/GC-MS. The structure and relative abundances of alkanes and alkenes from several populations of laboratory and wild collected specimens appeared to be similar. Similarly, the alkanes of conspecific female G. pallidipes from several locations were analysed to determine differences and similarities with older, published work on the sex pheromone of the species. The components were analysed by GC-MS and were very similar across populations. If major components were compared, only minor variation was observed between females from Zimbabwe (wild), Amsterdam, ICIPE/Kenya, Kenya, Tanzania (wild), Uganda/Bristol and Arba Minch/Ethiopia. The absolute meaning of these differences is not known, since the activity of synthetic sex pheromones was shown conclusively against Wageningen and ICIPE males in 1984-1986 tests, although they were less active against Zimbabwe males.

N2  - Three common finishing treatments of stainless steel that are used for equipment during poultry processing were tested for resistance to bacterial contamination. Methods were developed to measure attached bacteria and to identify factors that make surface finishes susceptible or resistant to bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. Samples of the treated surfaces (sandblasted, sanded, and electropolished) were exposed to natural bacterial populations from chicken carcass rinses to allow growth of bacteria and development of biofilms on the surfaces. The kinetics of bacteria growth during surface exposure was followed by UV-visible spectrophotometry, and counts of bacteria and early biofilm formation were measured following scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface morphology of the samples was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) with samples from each of the batches of treatments used in the SEM studies. Relative differences in the surface morphology, including fractal dimensions, Z ranges, roughness, and other measurements corresponded by treatment with the differences in reduction of bacterial counts shown by SEM. The surface types varied in affinity for bacteria, and both physical and electrochemical treatments improved resistance of stainless steel to bacterial attachment. Electropolished stainless steel was the least rough surface and showed significantly fewer bacterial cells and beginning biofilm formations than the other treated surfaces. Food safety could be improved if bacteria populations could be reduced during processing by increasing the use of materials that are resistant to bacterial contamination. These findings will aid equipment manufacturers and processors in selecting materials and finishes that are most resistant to bacteria and biofilm formation.

N2  - Serum retinol decreases transiently during the acute phase response and can thus result in misclassification of vitamin A status. The objective was to determine the prevalence of acute phase response activation in a representative sample of the US population, identify the factors associated with this activation, and determine whether persons with an active acute phase response have lower serum retinol concentrations. Data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) were analysed. A serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration ≥10 mg/L indicated an active acute phase response. Mean serum retinol was lowest in subjects aged &lt;10 y and increased with age. Concentrations were higher in males than in females aged 20-59 y. The prevalence of a CRP concentration ≥10 mg/L was lowest in subjects aged &lt;20 y (≤4%) and increased with age to a maximum of nearly 15%. An elevated CRP concentration was 2.4-fold greater in females than in males aged 20-59 y. Serum retinol was lower in subjects with elevated CRP concentrations. Serum retinol increases with age and males have higher mean values than do females aged 20-59 y. The prevalence of a CRP concentration ≥10 mg/L also increases with age, is 2-fold greater in females than in males aged 20-69 y, and is associated with common inflammatory conditions. Thus, inflammation appeared to contribute to the misclassification of vitamin. A status in the NHANES III population, and serum CRP is useful in identifying subjects who may be misclassified.

N2  - In rats, Cryptosporidium parvum infection is age related; infants are susceptible, whereas adults are resistant. The transition from susceptibility to resistance usually takes place around the age of weaning. In the present study, infant rats were orally inoculated with a preparation of intestinal scrapings taken from adult rats or cows. Infant rats received the scrapings daily from 3 to 14 days of age, were inoculated with C. parvum oocysts at 9 days of age, and killed at 15 days of age. Faecal samples and intestinal tissues were examined for the presence of C. parvum. Significantly fewer rats were infected in the groups that received intestinal scrapings from adult rats compared with controls. In addition, infected rats in the treatment groups shed significantly fewer oocysts than those in the control group. Scrapings from the intestinal mucosa of adult cows were also able to protect infant rats from infection, whereas scrapings from intestines of calves were not protective. The results indicate the presence of a factor in the intestines of adult rats and cows that can transfer protection against C. parvum infection in susceptible infant rats.

N2  - Results of cross-sectional studies suggest that in healthy people, iron absorption adapts to meet physiologic needs and stabilize iron stores, but this has not been adequately tested in longitudinal studies. It was tested whether heme- and non heme-iron absorption decrease in response to increased iron intake and whether iron stores reach a steady state. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, heme- and non heme-iron absorption by healthy men and women (n=57) were measured before and after 12 weeks of supplementation with 50 mg Fe/day as ferrous sulfate. Serum and faecal ferritin were measured during supplementation and for 6 months thereafter. Initially, both heme- and non heme-iron absorption were inversely associated with serum ferritin concentration. Volunteers who took iron supplements, even those with serum ferritin &lt;21 µg/litre (n=5), adapted to absorb less non heme iron (3.2% at week 12 compared with 5.0% at week 0, P&lt;0.001) but not less heme iron from a beef-based meal. Serum ferritin concentration was slightly but significantly higher after iron supplementation than after placebo (difference=13 µg/litre). This higher ferritin concentration persisted for ≥6 months after supplementation, except in subjects with low iron stores, whose serum ferritin returned to baseline within 3 months. Faecal ferritin excretion increased 2.5-fold (P&lt;0.05) during supplementation. Healthy individuals, even those with low iron stores, had reduced non heme-iron absorption from food in response to iron supplementation. Despite this partial adaptation, iron stores were greater after iron supplementation than after placebo and this difference was sustained, except in individuals with the lowest iron stores.

N2  - During processing of poultry meat products, broiler carcasses come in contact with many solid surfaces. Bacteria from the carcasses can attach to wet equipment surfaces, form biofilms, and provide a source of cross-contamination for subsequent carcasses. In this study an array of common equipment surface materials was compared for susceptibility to bacterial attachment and biofilms. To model mixed microbial populations relevant to poultry processing, samples were taken directly from the processing line and exposed to the surface materials. Whole carcasses were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline (100 ml), and the rinse was diluted in nutrient broth. Absorbance values (412 nm) of the suspensions at varying dilutions containing test surfaces were compared hourly with controls without test surfaces. The kinetics of bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on test surfaces were determined under the influence of pH, time, and bacterial cell density, and the elemental composition of the surface materials was determined by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Results showed that surfaces vary in affinity for bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. Analysis by spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that attachment to stainless steel, polyethylene, and belting was not significantly different from controls. Attachment to picker-finger rubber was significantly less than attachment to stainless steel and the other surfaces. In fact, picker-finger rubber inhibits bacterial contamination. An increased understanding of bacterial attachment and biofilm formation will assist in the development of interventions to counteract these processes and, thereby, enhance plant sanitation and pathogen control.

N2  - A procedure for rapid assay (about 30 min) of viable E. coli O157:H7 in solutions is described. The bacteria, captured by specific immunomagnetic beads, were lysed by commercially available reagents. The released cellular ATP was determined by the chemiluminescence method using firefly lantern extracts. The ATP content of the E. coli capable of consuming oxygen was influenced by the presence of glucose. The immunomagnetic procedure was applied to determine the presence of E. coli O157:H7 in beef hamburger spiked with the bacteria. After a 6-h enrichment at 37°C, significant ATP luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence was detected from beef hamburger suspensions spiked with less than one CFU/ml of the E. coli. Possible utilization of the developed procedure for practical application is discussed.

N2  - The expense and ineffectiveness of drift-based insecticide aerosols to control dengue epidemics has led to suppression strategies based on eliminating larval breeding sites. With the notable but short-lived exceptions of Cuba and Singapore, these source reduction efforts have met with little documented success; failure has chiefly been attributed to inadequate participation of the communities involved. The present work attempts to estimate transmission thresholds for dengue based on an easily-derived statistic, the standing crop of Aedes aegypti pupae per person in the environment. These thresholds were developed for use in the assessment of risk of transmission and to provide targets for the actual degree of suppression required to prevent or eliminate transmission in source reduction programmes. The notion of thresholds is based on 2 concepts: the mass action principal - the course of an epidemic is dependent on the rate of contact between susceptible hosts and infectious vectors, and threshold theory - the introduction of a few infectious individuals into a community of susceptible individuals will not give rise to an outbreak unless the density of vectors exceeds a certain critical level. Validated transmission models are used to estimate thresholds as a function of levels of pre-existing antibody levels in human populations, ambient air temperatures, and size and frequency of viral introduction. Threshold levels were estimated to range between about 0.5 and 1.5 A. aegypti pupae per person for ambient air temperatures of 28°C and initial seroprevalences ranging between 0% to 67%. Surprisingly, the size of the viral introduction used in these studies, ranging between 1 and 12 infectious individuals per year, was not seen to influence significantly the magnitude of the threshold. From a control perspective, these results are not particularly encouraging. The ratio of A. aegypti pupae to human density has been observed in limited field studies to range between 0.3 and &gt;60 in 25 sites in dengue-endemic or dengue-susceptible areas in the Caribbean, Central America, and Southeast Asia. If, for purposes of illustration, an initial seroprevalence of 33% is assumed, then the degree of suppression required essentially to eliminate the possibility of summertime transmission in Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Bangkok, Thailand was estimated to range between 10% and 83%; however in Mexico and Trinidad, reductions of &gt;90% would be required. A clearer picture of the actual magnitude of the reductions required to eliminate the threat of transmission is provided by the ratio of the observed standing crop of A. aegypti pupae per person and the threshold. For example, in a site in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, the ratio of observed and threshold was 1.7, meaning roughly that about 7 of every 17 breeding containers would have to be eliminated. For Reynosa, Mexico, with a ratio of ~10, 9 of every 10 containers would have to be eliminated. For sites in Trinidad with ratios averaging ~25, the elimination of 24 of every 25 would be required. With the exceptions of Cuba and Singapore, no published reports of sustained source reduction efforts have achieved anything near these levels of reductions in breeding containers. Practical advice on the use of thresholds is provided for operational control projects.

N2  - L. monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that can grow in high osmotic strength environments and at refrigeration temperatures. Glycine betaine, proline betaine, acetylcarnitine, carnitine, γ-butyrobetaine and 3-dimethylsulphoniopropionate all acted as osmoprotectants, as evidenced by an increase in growth rate of L. monocytogenes 10403S and Scott A when provided with these compounds, while being stressed in defined medium containing 0.7 M NaCl. These same compounds exhibited cryoprotective activity, as evidenced an increase in growth rate of L. monocytogenes at 5°C. Ectoine, hydroxy ectoine, pipecolic acid and proline were ineffective as osmoprotectants or cryoprotectants under these conditions. It is concluded that the presence of osmoprotectants and cryoprotectants in foods and milk products may provide compounds assisting L. monocytogenes to overcome the barriers of high osmotic strength and low temperature that otherwise control microbial growth.

N2  - Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in humans and in animals are fatal neurodegenerative diseases with long incubation times. The putative cause of these diseases is a normal host protein, the prion protein, that becomes altered. This abnormal prion protein is found mostly in the brains of infected individuals in later stages of the disease. However, it can also be found in lymphoid and other tissues in lower amounts. In order to eradicate this disease in animals, it is important to develop a system that can concentrate the abnormal prion protein, and an assay that is very sensitive. The sensitivity that can be achieved with capillary electrophoresis makes it possible to detect the abnormal protein in blood. A peptide from the carboxyl terminal region, amino acid positions 218-232, was labelled with fluorescein during the synthesis of the peptide at the amino terminus. Antibodies that have been produced to this peptide were affinity purified and used in a capillary electrophoresis immunoassay. The amount of fluorescein labelled peptide in the capillary was 50 amol. Blood was obtained from normal sheep and elk, from sheep infected with scrapie, and elk infected with chronic wasting disease. Buffy coats and plasma were prepared by a conventional method. After treatment with proteinase K, which destroys the normal protein, but not the altered one, the blood fractions were extracted and tested in the capillary electrophoresis immunoassay for the abnormal prion protein. The abnormal prion protein was detected in fractions from blood of infected animals, but not from normal ones. This assay makes a pre-clinical assay possible for these diseases and could be adapted to test for the abnormal prion protein in process materials that are used for manufacture of pharmaceuticals and products for human consumption.

N2  - Tocotrienols are natural lipid antioxidants occurring in plants (e.g. palm oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil and cereal grains) as a complex mixture of 2-methyl-6-chromanol-derived homologues and aromatic ring position isomers. Mixtures of α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocotrienols were separated by reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Four sets of subcomponents (cis/cis-, cis/trans-, trans/cis- and trans/trans-geometrical isomers) were further resolved under various HPLC conditions. Retention characteristics of the β- and γ-isomers on octadecylsilica (ODS) were indistinguishable. However, complete separations of all 16 tocotrienol components were achieved by RP-HPLC with a nonsilica-based octadecanoyl polyvinyl alcohol (ODPVA) column. In this system, β-tocotrienol peaks were found to interpose alternatively with those of γ-tocotrienols, which was attributable to apparent differences in intrinsic molecular polarity and hydrophobicity. HPLC with a pentafluorophenylsilica (PFPS) column led to partial separations of tocotrienols, of which 2 subclass species remained unresolved. Peak profiles obtained with PFPS columns of different packings were similar but not identical. Nonetheless, the component elution patterns on PFPS were markedly different from those on ODPVA. Furthermore, the use of a triacontylsilica column enabled separations of 15 components and yielded an elution order parallel to that of an ODPVA column. In general, the elution sequence of tocotrienols appeared to depend largely on the type of organic modifier used, despite the subtle influence of stationary phases and the isomeric characteristics of alkenyl chains. While poorly resolved on silica, geometrical isomers were readily separated on the RP phases studied with acetonitrile-water as the preferred eluent. Factors affecting analyte retention and component resolution were delineated.

N2  - Isolation of the quinolones, sarafloxacin (SAR), oxolinic acid (OXA), and flumequine (FMQ), from fortified chicken liver tissues, and SAR incurred chicken liver tissues was achieved by combined liquid-liquid extraction and aqueous on-line microdialysis using the automated trace enrichment of dialysates (ASTED) system. Analysis of tissue isolates after ASTED clean-up was performed using reversed-phase HPLC and programmable fluorescence detection. Overall recoveries of SAR, OXA and FMQ from samples fortified over a concentrations range of 1-100 ppb were 94, 97 and 87% with overall inter-assay variability of 4.2, 4.1 and 3.6%, respectively. Chicken liver samples incurred with SAR at three concentration levels also were tested by the ASTED method. The method exhibited high peak resolution (3.4-4.2 on average), a high signal-to-noise ratio, and demonstrated good precision. The ASTED-HPLC method overall had a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 ppb, and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 1 ppb.

N2  - This paper employs new Food Guide Pyramid servings data to measure how food intake is affected by income and two food programmes in the USA. The analysis uses a maximum likelihood estimator that combines the seemingly unrelated regression and one-way error component models, to account for two types of intrahousehold correlations. Participation in the Food Stamp Program is associated with higher intake of meats, added sugars, and total fats. Participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children is associated with lower intake of added sugars.

N2  - Flowering time, growth and opium gum yield were evaluated in plants derived from five seed sources of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) collected from different latitudes in three Southeast Asian countries (B1, B2 and B3 from Burma, L from Laos and T from Thailand). Plants were grown in six growth chambers at 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15- or 16-hour photoperiods, with a 12-hour, 25/20°C thermoperiod. Flower initiation was observed under a dissecting microscope (40×) to determine if time to floral initiation was identical for all accessions across a wide range of photoperiods. The main capsule was lanced for opium gum at 10, 13, and 16 days after flowering (DAF). Plants were harvested at 21 DAF for plant height, leaf area and organ dry-weight determinations. Under the 16-hour photoperiod, flower initiation was observed 10 days after emergence (DAE) for B1 compared with 8 DAE for the other four accessions. Flowering time was affected most by photoperiod in B1 and least in B2. Flowering times for B3, L and T were similar across the range of photoperiods. B2, B3 and L had the highest gum yields per capsule. Even though B1 had the greatest total plant biomass, it produced the lowest gum yield. There was no difference among accessions in the average ratio of gum : individual capsule volume. For the ratio of gum : capsule dry weight, only the difference between T and B1 was significant. Capsule size did affect these ratios slightly. T had a larger gum : volume ratio for larger capsules, and B3 had a smaller gum : dry-weight ratio for heavier capsules. Flowering time varied by up to 40%, capsule dry weight by up to 41%, and opium gum yield by up to 71% for the five accessions across all treatments. No relationship was found between flowering time and the latitude where the seed sources were collected. Time to flower initiation could not be used to predict time to anthesis because floral development rates varied significantly among accessions and photoperiods. Capsule volume and dry weight were useful in estimating gum yield.

N2  - The purpose of this study was to determine whether consumption of bread made with ultra-fine-ground whole-grain wheat flour retained beneficial effects while reducing undesirable effects. 26 men and women, 31 to 55 years of age, consumed glucose solutions or bread made with traditional white, conventional whole-grain wheat (WWF), or ultra-fine whole-grain wheat (UFWF) flour (1 g carbohydrate/kg body weight) in a Latin square design after 2 days of a controlled diet. The effect on glycaemic response was determined by comparing blood variables, after a tolerance test with white bread, WWF bread, and UFWF bread, with those after a glucose tolerance test. Men and women had similar responses to all tolerances except postprandial thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Glucose and insulin levels one half h after the glucose load were significantly higher than after any of the bread tolerances. Glucose, but not insulin, areas under the curve were significantly higher after the glucose load than areas after the 3 breads. Consumption of UFWF resulted in glucose and insulin responses, as well as areas under the curve, similar to those after consumption of conventional whole-wheat bread. It is concluded that the particle size of whole grain wheat flour did not substantially affect glycaemic responses.

N2  - Body mass index (BMI) values for 979 children (438 White, 283 Black, and 258 Hispanic) aged 3-18 years living in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area from 1994 to 1998 were compared with percentage of fat (%Fat) measurements obtained by using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The associations between %Fat and BMI were significant and were gender and ethnic dependent (p&lt;0.0005), indicating that BMI can provide a general description of the adiposity characteristics of a healthy paediatric population. However, BMI was a poor predictor for the individual child, with a standard error for %Fat of 4.7-7.3% of body weight. It is advantageous to identify accurately, as early as possible, those children who truly have excess adiposity, but this assessment should not be done at the risk of falsely mislabelling a significant number of healthy children as overweight or obese.

N2  - Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) may provide a noninvasive, rapid method for the assessment of total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW). The accuracy of BIS for the measurement of TBW, ECW and ICW in healthy children was examined. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), total body potassium (TBK) and BIS measurements were performed in 347 children (202 males and 145 females aged 4-18 years old). The reference values for TBW, ECW and ICW were defined by using a DXA+TBK model. BIS values were evaluated by using the method of Bland and Altman. A randomly selected calibration group (n=231) was used to derive new BIS constants that were tested in the remaining group (n=116). BIS values were highly correlated with the reference values (r² = 0.94-0.97, P&lt;0.0001), but differences between the BIS and DXA+TBK models for individuals were significant (P&lt;0.001). Use of new BIS constants reduced the mean differences between the BIS and DXA+TBK models; the SD of the mean differences were improved (1.8, 1.4 and 1.0 litre for TBW, ICW and ECW, respectively) for the total population. It is concluded that on a population basis, BIS can be calibrated to replace the DXA+TBK model for the assessment of TBW, ECW, and ICW in healthy children. The accuracy of the BIS measurement in individual children may be refined further by using age- and sex-specific adjustments for the BIS calibration constants.

N2  - This study examined whether serum insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) concentrations are different between African American and white girls. Serum glucose and hormone concentrations were measured in blood samples collected after a 12-hour fast from 79 white and 57 African American healthy girls between 9 and 17 years of age. Tanner stages of pubic hair development were evaluated by physical examination, and body composition by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The African American girls were older and sexually more mature and had higher fat mass, higher serum insulin and free IGF-I concentrations, higher serum free IGF-I to total IGF-I ratio, but lower serum IGFBP-1 concentrations than the white girls. After controlling for sexual maturation and fat mass, the serum concentrations of total IGF-I, bound IGF-I, and IGFBP-3 in the white girls became significantly higher than those in the African American girls. The higher concentrations of total IGF-I in the white girls were due to a proportional increase in the concentrations of bound IGF-I that coincided with a similar increase in serum IGFBP-3 concentrations. Higher serum insulin concentrations in the African American girls are associated with lower serum IGFBP-1 concentrations and increased bioavailability of free IGF-I, which may contribute to their accelerated growth compared with their white counterparts.

N2  - 15 healthy subjects ingested lycopene-rich tomato juice, tomato oleoresin, lycopene beadlets (each containing 70-75 mg lycopene) and a placebo for 4 weeks each in a randomized crossover design while consuming self-selected diets. A 6-week washout period separated the treatment periods. Buccal mucosa cells (BMCs) were collected at baseline and after 4 weeks of supplementation. Lycopene in BMCs increased (~2-fold) after 4 weeks of ingestion of oleoresin and of beadlets to 4.95 (P&lt;0.001) and 3.75 µg/g protein (P=0.053), respectively, but was not significantly affected by tomato juice treatment. The placebo treatment produced a decrease in BMC lycopene concentrations (P=0.018). Significant treatment differences between oleoresin and tomato juice, oleoresin and placebo, and beadlets and placebo were observed. BMC concentrations of phytofluene and β-carotene, which were present in small amounts in the lycopene-containing treatments, increased significantly with ingestion of these products. Strong correlations were found between plasma and BMC concentrations of lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, and β-carotene. In contrast, correlations between lycopene concentrations in plasma and in BMCs were weak and not significant for any treatment. It is concluded that the cellular content of lycopene and other tomato-related carotenoids with proposed beneficial health effects can be increased through prolonged supplementation.

N2  - A single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was developed for the differentiation of all currently recognised genotypes of Trichinella. Partial DNA sequence data were generated from internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2, and from the expansion segment V region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeat from 5 species of Trichinella and 2 additional genotypes, designated T5 and T6. Five different PCR primer sets were identified which, when used simultaneously in a multiplex PCR, produced a unique electrophoretic DNA banding pattern for each species and genotype, including 3 distinct genotypes of T. pseudospiralis. The banding patterns for each parasite genotype consisted of no more than 2 well-defined DNA fragments, except isolates of T. pseudospiralis which generated multiple, closely migrating bands. The expansion segment V-derived primer set contributed at least one fragment to each genotypic pattern and functioned both as a means for differentiation as well as an internal control for the PCR. The reliability and reproducibility of each DNA banding pattern were verified using multiple geographical isolates of each Trichinella genotype. The technique was developed further to distinguish genotypes at single muscle larvae level using a nested multiplex PCR, whereby the entire internal transcribed spacer region as well as the gap region of the expansion segment V of the large subunit rDNA were amplified concurrently in a first-round PCR using primer sets specific for each region, followed by the multiplex PCR.

N2  - A simple and rapid polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure was developed by which laboratory-cultured chlamydial specimens could be identified. Conserved oligonucleotide primers and restriction sites were deduced from 16S and 23S rRNA sequence data from &gt;50 chlamydial strains representing all 9 species. DNA from 25 previously characterized chlamydial strains were tested with these primers and restriction enzymes. All 9 chlamydial species were reliably distinguished in the tests. The procedure was optimized by adjusting the annealing temperature using both a standard and a heat-activated DNA polymerase to reduce mismatch PCR amplification of mycoplasmas and other bacteria. This method can be used to rapidly identify known species of the family Chlamydiaceae.

N2  - Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes are presented with corroborating genetic and phenotypic information to show that the order Chlamydiales contains at least 4 distinct groups at the family level and that within the Chlamydiaceae are 2 distinct lineages which branch into 9 separate clusters. A reclassification of the order Chlamydiales and its current taxa is proposed. This proposal retains currently known strains with &gt;90% 16S rRNA identity in the family Chlamydiaceae and separates other chlamydia-like organisms that have 80-90% 16S rRNA relatedness to the Chlamydiaceae into new families. Chlamydiae that were previously described as 'Candidatus Parachlamydia acanthamoebae' become members of Parachlamydiaceae fam. nov., Parachlamydia acanthamoebae gen. nov., sp. nov. 'Simkania' strain Z becomes the founding member of Simkaniaceae fam. nov., Simkania negevensis gen. nov., sp. nov. The fourth group, which includes strain WSU 86-1044, was left unnamed. The Chlamydiaceae, which currently has only the genus Chlamydia, is divided into 2 genera, Chlamydia and Chlamydophila gen. nov. Two new species, Chlamydia muridarum sp. nov. and Chlamydia suis sp. nov., join Chlamydia trachomatis in the emended genus Chlamydia. Chlamydophila gen. nov. assimilates the current species, Chlamydia pecorum, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia psittaci, to form Chlamydophila pecorum comb. nov., Chlamydophila pneumoniae comb. nov. and Chlamydophila psittaci comb. nov. Three new Chlamydophila species are derived from Chlamydia psittaci: Chlamydophila abortus gen. nov., sp. nov., Chlamydophila caviae gen. nov., sp. nov. and Chlamydophila felis gen. nov., sp. nov. Emended descriptions for the order Chlamydiales and for the family Chlamydiaceae are provided. These families, genera and species are readily distinguished by analysis of signature sequences in the 16S and 23S ribosomal genes.

N2  - Risk assessment and HACCP are related, but fundamentally different processes. Four major elements of risk assessment are commonly described (hazard identification; exposure assessment; dose-response assessment or hazard characterization; and risk characterization). Some similarities exist between the inputs for the first elements of risk assessment (hazard identification) and HACCP (hazard analysis). However, HACCP involves the identification of critical control points of a process for the purpose of producing a 'safe' product, and thus is essentially a risk management procedure that does not estimate risk with attendant uncertainty as in the formal structured procedure described for risk assessment. For quantitative models in microbial risk assessment, exposure assessment requires data for pathogen occurrence, density or level, and distribution in foods and live animals, parameters for growth and decline, and consumption information. A crucial difference between chemical and microbial risk assessment is that for the latter, exposure models must account for pathogen growth and deactivation, termed predictive microbiology. This field has emphasized prediction of the expected changes in a population of organisms and is extended by an example accounting for the stochastic or random variability of microbial growth in a given circumstance. Dose-response assessment, the third element of risk assessment, is the crucial link between exposure in food to adverse human health outcomes.

N2  - Current policies and programmes affecting the supply of food are examined and options assessed for changes that would help generate a food supply consistent with the US population eating according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Potential policy and programme changes are identified in three categories: eliminating existing domestic farm and trade program limitations on US food supply; creating incentives or disincentives, such as taxes or subsidies, to produce foods consistent with the Dietary Guidelines; and influencing consumers directly to choose foods consistent with the Dietary Guidelines. Despite the trend toward liberalization, there remain a few changes in farm and trade policy that would increase consumption of under-consumed foods. Taxes and subsidies are difficult to apply without creating unintended adverse consequences, although removal of production input constraints may be effective. Strategies to influence consumer behaviour have advantages over policies designed to affect supplies of foods. Rather than large programme interventions, changes in consumer tastes and preferences would drive market forces to efficiently produce the required food supply.

N2  - USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) finances about 13.5% of its budget outlays through user fees for overtime and unscheduled meat and poultry inspections. User fees play an increasingly important role in financing government programmes, and FSIS has frequently requested expanded authority to charge user fees for more of its operations. Congress has consistently rejected the FSIS requests and has placed important restrictions on fees and the uses of fee revenue at those agencies that have been granted more extensive user fee authority. This report surveys the application of user-fees for financing meat and poultry inspection programmes in other countries; reviews user-fee systems in other Federal agencies, particularly those with food and agricultural missions or regulatory responsibilities; and discusses the relevant economics literature on the use and design of user fees. Finally, several elements that should underlie the structure of user fees for meat and poultry inspection, should such a programme be introduced are suggested.

N2  - The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) dramatically transformed and continues to transform the food assistance landscape in the USA. The Act cut more funds from the Food Stamp Program than it did from any other programme, through reductions in benefits per person and restrictions in eligibility. Despite these cuts, food stamps now have a more prominent role in the post-welfare reform social safety net because the largest cash-assistance entitlement programme, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), was replaced with the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) programme, a nonentitlement programme. This leaves the Food Stamp Program as one of the only remaining entitlement programmes available to almost all low-income households.

N2  - Technical trade barriers are increasingly important in the international trade of agricultural products. Designing technical trade measures that can satisfy the growing demand for food safety, product differentiation, environmental amenities, and product information at the lowest cost to the consumer and to the international trading system requires an understanding of the complex economics of regulatory import barriers. This report proposes a definition and classification scheme to frame discussion and evaluation of such measures. Open-economy models that complement the classification scheme are developed graphically to highlight the basic elements that affect the economic impacts of changes in technical trade barriers.

N2  - The complete amino acid sequence of an α-type gliadin from spelt wheat (spelta) [Triticum spelta] was deduced from the cloned DNA sequence and compared with α-type gliadin sequences from bread wheat. The comparison showed only minor differences in amino acid sequences, which had an identity of 98.5%. Larger differences were identified between different α-type gliadin amino acid sequences from common bread wheat. Because all the different classes of gliadins, α, β, γ and ω, appear to be active in celiac disease, it is reasonably certain that the spelta gliadin is also toxic. It is concluded that spelta is not a safe grain for people with celiac disease, contrary to the implications in labelling a bread made from spelta as "an alternative to wheat". These conclusions are consistent with spelta and bread wheat being classed taxonomically as subspecies of the same genus and species, Triticum aestivum.

N2  - The objective of this study was to compare, in younger (20-40 years old) and older adults (60-80 years old), the relative availability of phylloquinone from a vegetable with that of a fortified oil. In a crossover design with three 15-day residency periods in a metabolic unit, younger and older men and women (n=36) consumed a mixed diet containing 100 µg phylloquinone/day. During 2 residency periods, the mixed diet was supplemented for 5 days with broccoli (377 µg phylloquinone/day; broccoli diet) or phylloquinone-fortified maize oil (417 µg/day; oil diet). The relative bioavailability of phylloquinone was defined by the difference in plasma phylloquinone, percentage serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin (%ucOC), and urinary γ-carboxyglutamic acid in response to 5 days of supplementation. For younger and older adults, plasma phylloquinone concentrations were higher (P&lt;0.001) and %ucOC values were lower (P=0.001) after the broccoli and oil diets than after the mixed diet only. Overall, the response to broccoli supplementation was not significantly different from the response to the fortified oil in either age group. Urinary γ-carboxyglutamic acid did not change in response to supplementation. There was no significant difference in the relative bioavailability of phylloquinone, as evidenced by the lack of a significant difference in plasma phylloquinone and %ucOC between the 2 groups after the broccoli or oil diets for younger and older adults.

N2  - The hypothesis that the insulin secretory hyperresponsiveness observed in rats with diet-induced insulin resistance may be a basic characteristic of dietary Cr deficiency was evaluated. Two groups of weanling rats were fed ad libitum a purified diet containing 64% sucrose, 20% casein, 5% corn [maize] oil, and the recommended levels of vitamins and minerals without added Cr. Cr-deficient (-Cr) rats were provided with distilled drinking water only, while Cr-supplemented (+Cr) rats received water containing 5 mg/kg Cr as Cr chloride. A third group of rats fed a commercial chow diet served as sucrose controls. Effects of Cr deficiency were assessed by comparing fasting levels of glucose, insulin, and plasma lipids in blood samples collected biweekly from the -Cr and +Cr groups over a 3-month period. Both groups of rats fed the low-Cr sucrose diet developed a transient hyperinsulinaemia and hyperlipidaemia relative to the chow-fed control rats. There were significant effects of Cr supplementation on plasma triglycerides during the initial 2 weeks of dietary adaptation. Effects of the low-Cr diet were evaluated after the 12-week period by comparing the insulin response area and glucose clearance during a 40-minute intravenous glucose tolerance test. The rates of glucose clearance (KG) in -Cr and +Cr rats were similar (4.2±1.0 and 4.3±0.8 %/min, respectively) and were comparable to the KG in chow-fed rats (4.6±0.8) in contrast, insulin secretory responses in -Cr rats were exaggerated (area, 14 083±3399 µU/ml per min), being two fold greater (P&lt;0.05) relative to the +Cr group (6183±864). The insulin secretory response area in chow-fed rats (7081±408 µU/ml per min) was similar to the value in the +Cr group. It is concluded that Cr deficiency can lead to raised insulin secretory responses to glucose.

N2  - Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) estimates made in prone and side positions with measurements of chemical composition of 20 pigs (10 barrows and 10 gilts) weighing 52-113 kg were compared. DXA yielded similar estimates of body composition in prone and side positions. DXA estimates of body composition were significantly correlated with reference compositional values (r²=0.927-0.998). No significant differences were found for determinations of body weight, fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), bone-free, and fat-free mass (BFFFM) between DXA and chemical determinations. DXA underpredicted percent fat (% fat); it underestimated FM (20%, P&gt;0.05). and overestimated FFM and BFFFM (6 and 9%, respectively, P&gt;0.05). Differences between individual determinations of FM and % fat by chemical analyses and DXA were significantly correlated with mean values. No significant correlations were found between the differences for weight, FM, % fat, FFM, and BFFFM and measurements of carcass breadth (19-28 cm) and width (15-25 cm). Total errors in determination of DXA body composition variables were similar with body thicknesses less than and greater than 24 cm. These findings indicate that DXA is a valid and accurate method for determination of soft tissue composition. Initial problems with DXA determinations of % fat apparently have been reconciled partially with revisions in soft tissue analytic software.

N2  - The potential benefits of increasing Ca intake in small children must be balanced with the potential risk to Fe utilization from high Ca intakes. This study was designed to evaluate the relation between Ca intake and Ca absorption and Fe incorporation into red blood cells. A multitracer, crossover study of the absorption of Ca and red blood cell incorporation of Fe in 11 preschool children aged 3-5 years who had been adapted for 5 weeks to low- (502±99 mg) and high- (1180±117 mg) Ca diets was performed. Stable-isotope studies were performed by using 44Ca and 58Fe given orally with meals and 46Ca given intravenously. Fe incorporation into red blood cells 14 days postdosing was similar (6.9±4.2% compared with 7.9±5.5%;) with the low- and high-Ca diets, respectively. Total Ca absorption (181±50 compared with 277±91 mg/day; P=0.002) was greater in children with the higher Ca intake. These findings indicate that small children may benefit from Ca intakes similar to those recommended for older children without adverse effects on dietary Fe utilization.

N2  - The objective of this study was to determine whether Fe status as determined by serum ferritin concentrations affects Mn absorption, retention, balance, and status. The subjects were healthy young women; 11 had serum ferritin concentrations &gt; 50 µg/litre and 15 had serum ferritin concentrations &lt; 15 µg/litre. In a crossover design, subjects consumed diets that supplied either 0.7 or 9.5 mg Mn/day for 60 days. Mn absorption and retention were assessed during the last 30 days of each dietary period by using an oral dose of 54Mn; balance was assessed simultaneously. Dietary Mn did not affect Mn status, but high serum ferritin depressed arginase activity. The interaction of ferritin status and dietary Mn affected 54Mn absorption and biological half-life. Absorption was greatest in subjects with low ferritin concentrations when they were consuming the low-Mn diet, and was least in subjects with high ferritin concentrations. Biological half-life was longest when subjects with high ferritin concentrations consumed the low-Mn diet, and was shortest in all subjects consuming the high-Mn diet. Mn balance was only affected by the amount of Mn in the diet. These results show that Fe status, as measured by serum ferritin concentration, is strongly associated with the amount of Mn absorbed from a meal by young women. When greater amounts of Mn are absorbed, the body may compensate by excreting Mn more quickly.

N2  - The objective was to establish whether the Mo in foods is metabolized similarly to Mo added to the diet in man. Stable molybdenum isotopes were incorporated into soyabeans and kale to study Mo absorption and excretion. Two studies were then conducted, one in women and one in men. In the first study, each meal contained ~100 µg Mo from soyabeans, kale, and extrinsic Mo. In the second study, soyabean and extrinsic Mo were compared; the meal contained ~300 µg Mo. In the first study, Mo was absorbed equally well from kale and an extrinsic source. However, the Mo in soyabeans was less well absorbed than the Mo in kale or that added to the diet. In the second study, absorption of Mo from soyabeans was less than from the extrinsic label. Urinary excretion of soyabean Mo was also lower than urinary excretion of the extrinsic label, but excretion as a percentage of the absorbed dose was not significantly different between treatments. The Mo in soyabeans is less available than Mo added to the diet, but the Mo in kale is as available as Mo added to the diet. Once absorbed, excretion is not significantly different for soyabeans, kale, and extrinsic molybdenum.

N2  - 569 Hispanics and a comparison group of 153 non-Hispanic whites aged 60-92 years were recruited. Equations to estimate stature of Hispanics and Puerto Ricans living in the northeastern United States were developed with regression models in a randomly selected subgroup of the Hispanics. These equations were tested with the remaining Hispanic subgroup. The published equations significantly overestimated stature of the Hispanic subjects. Equations developed for Massachusetts Hispanics and Puerto Ricans provided estimates of stature that did not differ significantly from measured stature. It was found that equations for non-Hispanic whites published in 1985 predicted stature of the relatively low-income, non-Hispanic white subjects better than the 1998 equations developed from a national sample. The stature of elderly Hispanics from the northeastern United States can be estimated by using equations derived from the same population. These, or similar equations, should be used to estimate stature of frail elderly persons for whom standing height cannot be taken accurately. Socioeconomic status as well as ethnicity may affect results when knee height equations are used.

N2  - Antioxidant capacity using the oxygen radical absorbance assay (ORAC) of green and black tea samples was determined and compared to values obtained for various fruits, vegetables, commercial fruit juices and wines. Antioxidant capacity was found to vary considerably from 235-1526 µmol Trolox equivalents (TE)/g dry matter and total phenolics ranged from 32-147 mg/g in different commercial tea samples. At the antioxidant levels measured after 5 min of brewing in 150 ml, consumption of this amount of tea could make a significant contribution to total daily antioxidant capacity.

N2  - The investigation examined whether the cholesterol-raising properties of saturated fat and cholesterol-lowering properties of unsaturated fat are associated with levels of hepatic iron. The magnitude of hepatic iron retention was manipulated by feeding rats diets that were copper-deficient or -adequate, iron-adequate or -supplemented, and contained beef tallow or corn [maize] oil. Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 8 dietary groups according to the type of dietary fat (beef tallow or corn oil) and level of dietary copper (0.74 or 6.9 µg Cu/g diet) or iron (44.4 or 86.7 µg Fe/g diet). Beef tallow and copper deficiency alone increased hepatic iron levels, which in turn were associated with increased plasma cholesterol. When the three dietary factors were combined, ie, iron, beef tallow, and copper deficiency, they induced the highest magnitude of hepatic iron retention, which in turn was associated with the highest concentration of plasma cholesterol. In contrast, when hepatic iron retention was not increased, such as by feeding a diet containing corn oil or by consumption of a copper-adequate diet, plasma cholesterol was not elevated. Based on these data, it is suggested that nutrients that have the ability to increase hepatic iron have the potential to increase plasma cholesterol.

N2  - A weighted mean of the glycaemic index (GI) values of the constituent sugars of a non-starchy fruit is known to give a rough estimate of the GI of that fruit. Previously observed GI values (GIob) were, on average, lower than the calculated GI of the sugar mixture (GIsm) for nine acidic fruits (pH 3.24-4.17) and tended to exceed the GIsm for six near-neutral non-starchy foods (pH &lt;5.33). A formula for predicting GI from GIsm and food pH was developed, and it accounted for 69% of the sum of squares for the 15 GIob values. A model that proposed that organic acids and their acidic anions slow gastric emptying and thereby lower GI was developed, and it was found to account for 57% of the GIob sum of squares. The substances responsible for lowering GI in acid fruits and the mechanisms of their action remain to be identified.

N2  - The distribution of serum total homocysteine concentrations in the US population was measured and differences in homocysteine concentrations among sex, age and race-ethnicity categories were determined. Using surplus sera from phase 2 of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, (NHANES III 1991-1994), serum total homocysteine concentrations for a nationally representative sample of 3766 males and 4819 females aged ≥ 12 years was measured. Age-adjusted geometric mean total homocysteine concentrations were 9.6 and 7.9 mmol/litre in non-Hispanic white males and females, 9.8 and 8.2 mmol/litre in non-Hispanic black males and females, and 9.4 and 7.4 mmol/litre in Mexican American males and females, respectively. Age-adjusted geometric mean total homocysteine concentrations were lower in females than in males in each race-ethnicity group (P&lt;0.01) and were lower in Mexican American females than in non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black females (P&lt;0.01). There was an age-sex interaction (P&lt;0.01), reflecting the fact that homocysteine concentrations in females tended to diverge from those in males at younger ages and converge with those in males at older ages. The first data on homocysteine concentrations in a nationally representative sample of Americans confirm the age and sex differences reported previously in non-representative samples. These data also indicate that differences between Mexican American and non-Hispanic females may influence circulating homocysteine concentrations.

N2  - 71 healthy men and women (aged 20-80 years), who provided accurate reports of dietary intake and completed a body-composition assessment, were studied. Dietary variety was positively associated with energy intake within each of 10 food groups (r = 0.27-0.56, P&lt;0.05). In multiple regression analysis with age and sex controlled for, dietary variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entrées and carbohydrates (as a group) was positively associated with body fatness (partial r = 0.38, P=0.001) whereas variety from vegetables was negatively associated (partial r = -0.31, P=0.01) (R² = 0.46, P&lt;0.0001). In separate models, both a variety ratio (variety of vegetables/variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entrées and carbohydrates) and percentage dietary fat were significant predictors of body fatness (controlled for age and sex, partial r = -0.39 and 0.31, respectively, P&lt;0.01). However, dietary fat was no longer significantly associated with body fatness when the variety ratio and dietary fat were included in the same model. The data, coupled with those of previous short-term studies, suggest that a high variety of sweets, snacks, condiments, entrées, and carbohydrates coupled with a low variety of vegetables promotes long-term increases in energy intake and body fatness.

N2  - 171 premature infants, stratified by gestational age (26 to 30 weeks) and diet (human milk or preterm formula) were assigned randomly among 4 treatment combinations in a balanced 2-way design comparing the presence or absence of gastrointestinal (GI) priming for 10 days and continuous infusion vs. intermittent bolus tube-feeding. The major outcome, time required for infants to attain full oral feeding, was similar among treatments. GI priming was not associated with any measured adverse effect and was associated with better Ca and P retention, higher serum Ca and alkaline phosphatase activity, and shorter intestinal transit times. The bolus tube-feeding method was associated with significantly less feeding intolerance and greater rate of weight gain than the continuous method. In addition, the greater the quantity of human milk fed, the lower the morbidity. It is concluded that early GI priming with human milk, using the bolus tube-feeding method, may provide the best advantage for the premature infant.

N2  - 22 healthy, normal-weight (mean body mass index 21.3) and obese (mean BMI=34.2) women aged 22-42 years were studied. Seven-day estimated food records were kept by subjects before they participated in a 49-day residential study. Self-reported energy intake was compared with energy intake required to maintain a stable body weight during the residential study (reference standard). Energy intake bias and its relationship to various body size and behavioural measures were examined. Mean energy intake from self-reported food records was under-reported by normal-weight (-9.7%) and obese (-19.4%) women. BMI correlated inversely with the energy intake difference for normal-weight women (r=-0.67, P=0.02), whereas the Beck Depression Inventory correlated positively with the energy intake difference for obese women (r=0.73, P&lt;0.01). Results suggest that body size and behavioural traits play a role in the ability of women to accurately self-report energy intake. BMI appears to be predictive of underreporting of energy intake by normal-weight women, whereas emotional factors related to depression appear to be more determinant of underreporting for obese women. Understanding causative factors of the underreporting phenomenon will help practicing dietitians to devise appropriate and realistic diet intervention plans that clients can follow to achieve meaningful change.

N2  - 18 subjects with lactose intolerance were randomly assigned to an omeprazole-treated group or a non-omeprazole-treated group. Subjects ingested Lactobacillus acidophilus BG2FO4 twice daily for 7 days and stool samples were collected. Breath-hydrogen tests were performed and symptom scores were recorded at baseline and after ingestion. Overall hydrogen production and symptom scores after ingestion of L. acidophilus BG2FO4 were not significantly different from baseline values. Live L. acidophilus BG2FO4 was recovered in stool samples from 7 subjects. Lactose intolerance was over-reported in subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms after lactose ingestion. It is concluded that treatment of lactose-maldigestion subjects with and without omeprazole with L.acidophilus BG2FO4 for 7 days failed to change breath-hydrogen excretion significantly after lactose ingestion.

N2  - Nixtamalized maize products collected from Mexico and the USA were examined to evaluate methods for quantitation of the different forms of fumonisins. The chelating reagent EDTA (exceeding the calcium concentration by a factor of 1.36) was added to enhance extraction of fumonisins because calcium remained in the samples as a result of processing. It was expected that the majority of the fumonisin detected would be in the hydrolysed form, yet the highest level of hydrolysed fumonisin B1 detected was 0.1 p.p.m. The amount of fumonisin B1 was significantly higher in Mexican samples (mean=0.79 p.p.m.) than in samples purchased in the USA (mean=0.16 p.p.m.).

N2  - Insects and other arthropods appear in pharmacopoeias of Korean traditional medicine, but little is known about their use in modern South Korea. Interviews were conducted with 20 traditional medicine doctors at clinics in South Korea's Kyeong Dong Shijang in Seoul (one of the world's largest traditional drug markets) to learn about current patterns of usage. Seventeen products are prescribed and the use of arthropod drugs is stable or increasing. Centipedes (Scolopendra spp.) used primarily to treat arthritis and the silk moth fungus (Beauveria bassiana, which infects silk moth larvae) used mostly to treat stroke, are the most frequently prescribed and medically important arthropod drugs. Most of the arthropod drugs were traditionally collected or reared on the Korean Peninsula, but now they are imported, mainly from China. Folk logic appears to be the basis for some arthropod drug uses (i.e. centipedes, which have many legs, are used for leg problems). But many of the arthropods have venom and other defensive chemicals which are biologically active. The South Korean use of arthropods as drugs (as well as for food and enjoyment) is due, in part, to more positive attitudes towards these animals compared with many cultures. Arthropods appear to be an unexplored and unexploited source of drugs for modern medicine.

N2  - In response to D. Shah and T.K. Tsang [Annals of Internal Medicine (1998) 129, 253] the authors note that the cause of the suggested bee sting-like lesions to the throat of a patient, fitted the characteristics of a yellow jacket sting more closely. When comparing the behaviour of wasps, bees and yellow jackets one is likely to be stung by each in different situations. Furthermore, the bee sting is usually left at the point of entry. Proper identification may aid treatment with antivenoms. It is also noted by M.I. Levine that administration of epinephrine is probably the most effective method of treatment, rather than the commonly used steroids due to their period of delayed action. In response D. Shah et al. note that epinephrine therapy was not administered since the man's symptoms did not warrant it. They justify their use of steroids in the prevention of a biphasic response after symptoms appear to have been resolved.

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Four new species of Candida are described based on their unique nucleotide sequences in the D1/D2 domain of large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA. Candida peoriaensis (type strain NRRL YB-1497, CBS 8800) and C. ponderosae (type strain NRRL YB-2307, CBS 8801) are members of the Pichia anomala clade and were isolated in the U.S. from, respectively, the stump of an elm tree (Ulmus sp.) and from insect frass of a Ponderosa pine (Pinusponderosa). Candida ghanaensis (type strain NRRL YB-1486, CBS 8798) is a phylogenetically divergent species from soil in Ghana and appears related to the Dipodascus/Geotrichum clade. Candida litsaeae (type strain NRRL YB-3246, CBS 8799) was isolated from the frass of an insect-infested Litsaea polyantha tree from India, and is a divergent species that is most closely related to Candida ontarioensis

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Defining the extent and character of intraspecific genetic variation provides important information about gene function and organismal history. Powerful tests may be applied to sequenced alleles in order to critically examine whether natural selection is responsible for limiting or elevating intraspecific polymorphism in particular genes. Unconventional patterns of sequence variation and unusual allelic frequency distributions can be used to test whether genes encoding parasite antigens are being diversified by immune selection. The strikingly limited genetic variation in the falciparum malaria genome, and in human chromosomes encoding resistance to severe malaria, date the emergence of this disease to within the last few thousand years, illustrating the power of population genetic analysis to elucidate the history of host-parasite interactions. Coupling phylogenetic and geographic information and analyzing the rate of diversification in intraspecific gene trees provides new and rich sources of information on microbial evolution and epidemiology

N2  - Screening of milk shipments for β-lactam antibiotic residues is mandatory in the USA and is widely used in other countries. Interpretation of positive screening test results has been difficult. Only six β-lactam antibiotics are approved for use in food-producing animals in the USA but many others are used in other countries. A multiresidue procedure was developed for identification and quantitation of unknown β-lactam antibiotics. The residues were extracted with acetonitrile and tetraethylammonium chloride. The extract was concentrated by evaporation and filtered. The concentrated extract was then loaded onto an HPLC column in 100% 0.01 M KH2PO4 and eluted with an acetonitrile gradient. Fractions corresponding to analytes of interest were collected and tested for antibiotics using rapid milk screening tests. Fractions testing positive were analyzed by HPLC. The identity of β-lactams was confirmed by treating a replicate with β-lactamase.

N2  - A high-performance liquid chromatography method employing diode array detection was developed to determine levels of the major catechins present in black, green, and Jasmine tea infusions. Reversed-phase separations were performed on a C18 column using three gradients: acetonitrile-acetate buffer, methanol-acetate buffer, and acetonitrile-acetate buffer with ascorbic acid. The identities of the tea catechins were established by comparing absorbance spectra and retention times to reference standards chromatographed under identical conditions. Epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin gallate were found in all the tea infusions examined, ranging in concentration from 1-13 mg/dl. These levels indicate that even moderate tea consumption can contribute a substantial quantity of flavanols to the diet. Although some differences between the three brewed teas were evident, all were comparably good sources of these catechins.

N2  - A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was designed to allow simultaneous detection of both E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. directly from enrichment cultures. Samples of apple cider, beef carcass wash water, ground beef, and bovine faeces were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 and S. typhimurium at various levels. Following enrichment culturing for 20-24 h at 37°C in modified EC broth or buffered peptone water both containing novobiocin, the samples were subjected to a DNA extraction technique or to immunomagnetic separation then tested by the multiplex PCR assay. Four pairs of primers were employed in the PCR: primers for amplification of E. coli O157:H7 eaeA, stx1/2 and plasmid sequences and for amplification of a portion of the Salmonella invA gene. Four fragments of the expected sizes were amplified in a single reaction and visualized following agarose gel electrophoresis in all the samples inoculated with ≤1 c.f.u./g or ≤1 c.f.u./ml. Results were obtained in approximately 30 h. It is concluded that the multiplex PCR is a potentially powerful technique for rapid and sensitive co-detection of both pathogens in foods and other types of samples.

N2  - Lessons drawn from the commercial introduction of rbST in the USA are used to offer insight for other animal food products produced with biotechnology. The controversial introduction of rbST, a laboratory version of bST, a growth hormone that stimulates milk production in cows, may provide hope for other foods produced by biotechnology. Milk sales remained steady after rbST became available to dairy farmers, even though a multitude of public opinion surveys documented widespread concern about food safety and biotechnology, and some analysts predicted a drop in milk consumption of up to 20%. The undiminished consumer demand for milk may indicate that consumers will also accept other animal food products from biotechnology. The rbST experience suggests that, while scientific evidence of food safety will not prevent controversy over biotech foods, controversy will not necessarily inhibit consumer demand for the food.

N2  - Possible relationships between B nutriture and brain and psychological function were investigated in a series of experiments and are reviewed here. Assessments of brain electrical activity in both animals and man demonstrated that B deprivation results in decreased brain electrical activity similar to that observed in non-specific malnutrition. Assessments of cognitive and psychomotor function in man found that B deprivation resulted in poorer performance on tasks of motor speed and dexterity, attention, and short-term memory. However, little support was found for anecdotal reports that supplementation with physiologic amounts of B helps alleviate the somatic and psychological symptoms of menopause. Parallels between nutritional and toxicological effects of B on brain and psychological function are presented, and possible biological mechanisms for dietary effects are reviewed. Findings support the hypothesis that B nutriture is important for brain and psychological function in humans.

N2  - 18 young subjects (20-40 years) and 18 older subjects (60-80 years) recruited from New England, USA who were healthy non-smokers, resided in a metabolic research unit and consumed 2 sets of controlled diets. Diet A contained 10 servings of fruit and vegetables each day for 15 days. Diet B was the same as diet A, except diet B also provided 2 servings of broccoli each day on days 6-10. There was a free-living period of a minimum of 6 weeks between the 2 experiments using either diet A or diet B. Fasting plasma antioxidant capacity, measured as oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and α-tocopherol concentrations were determined on days 1, 6, 11 and 16. The fasting baseline plasma ORAC of these subjects was significantly correlated with their estimated daily intake of total antioxidants from fruit and vegetables during the previous year. Plasma ORAC of these subjects was significantly increased by both diets A and B. This increase in ORAC could not be explained by the increase in the plasma α-tocopherol concentration. It is concluded that increased consumption of fruit and vegetables can increase the plasma antioxidant capacity in man.

N2  - The availability of lycopene from tomato juice and 2 dietary supplements, each containing 70-75 mg lycopene, was examined in 15 healthy volunteers (33-61 years old) in a randomized, crossover design. Subjects ingested lycopene-rich tomato juice, tomato oleoresin, lycopene beadlets and a placebo for 4 weeks each while consuming self-selected diets. Treatment periods were separated by 6-week washout periods. Plasma lycopene concentrations, assessed at baseline and weekly throughout the treatment periods, were significantly higher during tomato juice, oleoresin and lycopene beadlet ingestion than during placebo ingestion. Mean increases in plasma lycopene at week 4 of tomato juice, oleoresin and lycopene beadlet ingestion did not differ significantly: 0.24±0.07, 0.23±0.05 and 0.24±0.06 µmol/litre, respectively. Plasma concentrations of phytofluene and phytoene, which were present in small amounts in tomato juice, oleoresin and lycopene beadlets, increased significantly with ingestion of these 3 products. β-Carotene, ζ-carotene and 2,6-cyclolycopene-1,5-diol (a metabolite of lycopene) - also present in tomato juice and supplements - were significantly increased with consumption of the tomato juice and lycopene beadlets, but not with oleoresin consumption. A marked increase in plasma concentrations of an unknown compound was observed; it was detected in trace amounts in tomato juice, oleoresin and lycopene beadlets, and had a maximum absorbance at 448 nm and a molecular weight of 556. It was concluded that concentrations of plasma lycopene and other carotenoids with potential for enhancing human health can be increased by ingestion of realistic amounts of tomato juice. Lycopene seemed to be equally available from tomato juice and the supplements used in this study.

N2  - Variances associated with sampling, sample preparation, and analytical steps of a test procedure that measured fumonisin in shelled corn [maize] were estimated. The variance associated with each step of the test procedure increased with fumonisin concentration. Functional relationships between variance and fumonisin concentration were estimated by regression analysis. For each variance component, functional relationships were independent of fumonisin type (total, B1, B2 and B3 fumonisins). At 2 p.p.m., coefficients of variation associated with sampling (1.1 kg sample), sample preparation (Romer mill and 25 g subsample), and analysis were 16.6, 9.1 and 9.7%, respectively. The coefficient of variation associated with the total fumonisin test procedure was 45% and was approx. the same order of magnitude as that for measuring aflatoxin in shelled maize using a similar test procedure.

N2  - The survival of sporulated Toxoplasma gondii (VEG strain) oocysts in water at -10 to 70°C for various periods was investigated. Infectivity of T. gondii was tested by bioassay in mice. There was no marked loss of infectivity of oocysts stored at 10, 15, 20 and 25°C for 200 days, whereas there was a 100-fold loss of infectivity of oocysts stored at 30°C for 107 days. Oocysts stored at 35°C were infective for 32 but not 62 days; at 40°C oocysts were infective for 9 but not 28 days; at 45°C oocysts were infective for 1 but not 2 days; and at 50°C oocysts were infective for 1 but not 2 h. At 55 and 60°C oocysts were rendered non-infective in 2 and 1 min, respectively. Oocysts remained infective up to 54 months at 4°C and there was no loss of infectivity in oocysts stored for 106 days at -5°C and at -10°C and for 13 months at 0°C.

N2  - Immunity to toxoplasmosis was investigated in outbred pigs after feeding them Toxoplasma gondii (VEG strain) oocysts inactivated by irradiation. A total of 23 pigs aged 2-3 months were fed (12 pigs only once and 11 pigs twice) ~ 105 oocysts irradiated at 0.3 or 0.4 kGy of 137Cs; 11 pigs served as unvaccinated controls. Between 11 and 13 weeks after inoculation, 15 vaccinated pigs and 5 non-vaccinated pigs were challenged orally with a high dose (105 or 106) of oocysts, and 7 vaccinated and 6 non-vaccinated pigs were challenged orally with a low dose (10² or 10³) of oocysts; 1 vaccinated pig was not challenged. All non-vaccinated pigs challenged with a high dose became ill starting 4-5 days post-challenge (pc). One pig died day 9 pc, 1 died day 16 pc, and 1 was killed day 10 pc because of weakness. All vaccinated pigs, non-vaccinated pigs challenged with a low dose, and the 1 vaccinated unchallenged pig remained clinically normal. Bioassay of pig tissues (tongue, diaphragm, brain) in mice indicated fewer tissue cysts in tissues of vaccinated pigs compared with unvaccinated pigs following challenge with live oocysts. However, vaccination with 1 or 2 doses of irradiated oocysts did not prevent formation of tissue cysts even in pigs challenged with 10² oocysts.

N2  - Growth of S. flexneri 5348 inoculated into commercially available sterile foods (canned broths, meat, fish, UHT milk and baby foods) was studied at 10-37°C. S. flexneri was enumerated by surface-plating on Tryptic Soya Agar and growth curves were fitted by means of the Gompertz equation. Observed growth kinetics values and values calculated using a previously developed response surface model compared favourably for growth at 19-37°C, but not at &lt;19°C. To refine the model, additional data were collected for growth at 10-19°C. 844 tests in BHI broth, representing 197 variable combinations of temperature (10-37°C), pH (5.0-7.5), NaCl (0.5-5.0%) and NaNO2 (0-1000 ppm) were used for the revised model. The revised model gave significantly better agreement of calculated growth kinetics values with those observed in foods at 10-19°C.

N2  - The use of haptoglobin, a major acute-phase reactant protein in cattle, as a marker for health status in cattle and its potential in improving food safety were investigated. Serum samples from clinically normal cattle steers (157) and culled dairy cows (92) before death (antemortem [AM]), retained carcasses (57) railed off the line during PM inspection, and apparently AM normal culled dairy cows (57) were used. Efficacy of the simplified monoclonal antibody-based enzyme immunoassay was established by comparing results of haptoglobin tests performed independently on aliquots of serum samples by 3 laboratories. Haptoglobin concentration was significantly (P≤ 0.0001) different between the PM retained carcass group and the AM steer and culled dairy cow groups. Haptoglobin concentration in AM steers and culled dairy cows was significantly (P≤ 0.0012) different, possibly reflecting a higher percentage of underlying pathologic or inflammatory conditions in animals of the latter group. Evaluation in 3 laboratories of serum samples from the culled dairy cows, each laboratory performing a different test procedure, indicated that correlation of haptoglobin concentrations was good between the reported test procedure and the unmodified test and the classical haemoglobin-binding assay that measures peroxidase activity. It was concluded that haptoglobin measurement is effective in identifying diseased and healthy cattle. It may be a potentially important tool for application at the farm and slaughterhouse as an aid in improving food safety.

N2  - This bulletin reports empirical findings on the determinants of food insecurity in the USA using data from the 1989-91 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals and the 1992 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Descriptive statistics on food insufficiency status (a proxy measure for the most food-insecure households) are presented from both surveys. Multivariate logit models are used to study the effects of socioeconomic characteristics on food insufficiency. Households with higher incomes, homeowners, households headed by a high school graduate, and elderly households were less likely to be food insufficient. Holding other factors constant, those in poverty were over 3.5 times more likely to be food insufficient. However, there was not a one-to-one correspondence between poverty and food insufficiency, since over 40% of food-insufficient households were not poor and about 10% of poor households were food insufficient. Food stamp benefit levels were inversely associated with food insufficiency.

N2  - This paper traces the economic impact of the costs of foodborne illness on the US economy using a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) framework. Previous estimates of the costs of seven foodborne pathogens are disaggregated by type, and distributed across the population using data from the National Health Interview Survey, 1992-94. Initial income losses resulting from premature death cause a decrease in economic activity. Medical costs, in contrast, result in economic growth, though this growth does not outweigh the total costs of premature death. It is concluded that a SAM accounting of the final impact of costs of illness provides useful information for policy makers by indicating who ultimately pays for foodborne illness.

N2  - Microbial pathogens and pesticide residues in food pose a financial burden to society which can be reduced by incurring costs to reduce these food safety risks. This paper presents three (US) examples of how different valuation techniques can be used to place a monetary value on food safety risk reductions. The three cases are: (1) a contingent valuation survey on pesticide residues; (2) an experimental auction market for a chicken sandwich with reduced risk of Salmonella; and (3) a cost-of-illness analysis for seven foodborne pathogens. It is argued that to many economists, contingent valuation or experimental economics techniques are preferred to cost of illness studies, since they are (theoretically) grounded in individual preferences and measure changes in well being directly. However, it is suggested that cost of illness methods have some appeal because they present economic costs in a manner easily understood by decision makers and represent real costs to society.

N2  - A need to develop new industrial markets for plant materials has arisen as a result of expanded processing in the soyabean and maize industries. These agricultural commodities and their byproducts from processing offer a number of useful product opportunities. With the aim of catalysing a paradigm shift in thinking to meet the new challenges within the marketplace, topics covered include techniques and approaches in scientific organizations, a model of managing research and development teams, public-private partnerships in agricultural research, and developing and delivering economic intelligence on industrial uses of agricultural materials. Technical papers cover a number of issues including commercialization of maize starch derived glycosides, biodegradable plastics technology, analysis of protein structure and function, structural analysis of food protein networks, starch analysis, soya protein as a renewable food source, and production of fibres from soya protein and zein.

N2  - The absorption, tissue distribution and body retention of Se from hydroponically grown high-Se broccoli were determined in male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=96). Rats were fed on a Torula yeast based diet with no Se or supplemented with Se 0.1 mg/kg diet added as sodium selenate (controls) for 6 weeks. Se-deficient rats were then repleted with Se (0.1 mg/kg diet) supplied as either sodium selenate, sodium selenite, selenomethionine (SeMet) or high-Se broccoli. High-Se broccoli was grown hydroponically and contained Se 28 mg/kg (dry weight). Gross absorption of Se and absorption adjusted for urinary excretion of Se from high-Se broccoli were significantly lower than from other sources. Sodium selenite, sodium selenate and SeMet were similarly effective in restoring most measures of Se status; high-Se broccoli was much less effective. However, Se from high-Se broccoli did not differ from the other forms in restoring kidney and plasma Se concentrations. Se from high-Se broccoli was also less effective than the other forms of Se in restoring glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity. It was concluded that Se from high-Se broccoli was absorbed, distributed and retained in a different manner than Se from sodium selenite, sodium selenate and SeMet. These differences are probably because the metabolic pathway used by Se from high-Se broccoli is different from the pathways used by the other forms of Se utilized in this study.

N2  - The effect of a chronic energy deficit on plasma leptin concentrations and self-reported appetite was examined in 12 healthy women (body mass index 23-37) in a metabolic ward study. Three weeks of neutral energy balance was followed by 12 weeks of energy deficit (energy intake reduced by 2 MJ/day and energy expenditure increased by 0.8 MJ/d). Body weight and composition were monitored, fasting leptin concentrations were measured 4 times, and feelings of hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective consumption were monitored hourly throughout the day on 7 selected days. Adiposity-adjusted leptin decreased by 54% after 1 week of a moderate energy deficit and remained low after 6 and 12 weeks. Leptin was associated with self-reported hunger, desire to eat, and prospective consumption (range of r -0.6 to -0.7, P&lt;0.01). The greatest hunger increase coincided with the largest percentage decrease in circulating leptin and the lowest final leptin concentration. The relation between leptin and hunger was not influenced by amount of weight or body fat loss. The findings support the idea that leptin is a physiologic regulator of hunger during energy deficits in man; the role of leptin in the long-term regulation of food intake warrants further study.

N2  - The hypothesis that taking a hydrogen pump blocking agent (omeprazole) produces bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine producing menaquinones, which could help to overcome vitamin K deficiency, was tested. In a crossover-type design, 13 healthy subjects eating a phylloquinone-restricted diet for 35 days were randomly assigned to take omeprazole during the first period of study or starting on day 15 until the end of the study. Coagulation times, serum osteocalcin (total osteocalcin and under-carboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC)), plasma phylloquinone, urinary γ-carboxyglutamic acid and plasma under-carboxylated prothrombin (PIVKA-II) were measured. Plasma phylloquinone concentrations declined 82% with dietary phylloquinone restriction (P&lt;0.05) and were not different in the period when the diet was combined with omeprazole treatment. The mean value for PIVKA-II during the phylloquinone-restricted diet increased 5.7-fold from baseline (P&lt;0.05); however, the combination of omeprazole treatment and the phylloquinone-restricted diet reduced PIVKA-II values by 21% (P&lt;0.05) compared with the diet period alone. There were no alterations in total or percentage ucOC concentrations during the phylloquinone-restricted diet or during the period of diet plus omeprazole treatment. The data support the hypothesis that bacterial overgrowth results in the synthesis and absorption of menaquinones.

N2  - This study sought to develop a compartmental model that could be used for the analysis of kinetic data in studies on the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and HDL apolipoprotein (apo) E. Using radioactive tracers, it has been previously observed that, in some instances, a portion of VLDL apo E that is removed from plasma subsequently reappears in VLDL. Four multicompartmental models were considered that could account for this type of behaviour: model A, in which there is transfer of apo E from HDL to VLDL; model B, in which there is a bidirectional extravascular exchange; model C, in which there is removal and subsequent reintroduction of TRL apo E into plasma; and model D, in which there is secretion of TRL apo E into plasma directly and via an extravascular pathway. Models C and D provided the best fit to the experimental data. While no physiologically plausible analogue to model C could be found, an extravascular delay, analogous to newly secreted apo E that enters the lymphatic system before appearing in plasma, was postulated for model D. It was this model that was used to analyse kinetic data from metabolic studies of apo E. The model provided a satisfactory fit to kinetic data in studies in which subjects were given a primed-constant infusion of ²H3-leucine. It was determined that TRL apo E from the 6 subjects studied had a mean residence time of 0.11±0.05 days and a mean production rate of 10.6±7.2 mg/kg daily, while HDL apo E had a mean residence time of 2.96±0.99 days and a mean production rate of 0.07±0.07 mg/kg daily.It was concluded that this model describes a potential pathway for the metabolism of a portion of apo E in plasma and can be used to calculate the residence time and production rate of TRL and HDL apo E under a variety of conditions.

N2  - The production of natural killer (NK) cell-enhancing cytokines (interferon α, interferon γ and interleukin 12) was studied in elderly men supplemented with β-carotene. Subjects living in Boston, Maryland, USA, participating in the Physicians' Health Study (men aged 65-88 year; mean age 73 years) who had been supplemented with β-carotene 50 mg on alternate days for an average of 12 years were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Subjects taking β-carotene supplements (n=14) had significantly greater plasma β-carotene concentrations than those taking placebo (n=20). β-Carotene-supplemented men had significantly greater NK cell activity than those receiving placebo. Percentages of NK cells (CD16+CD56+) were not different between the β-carotene and placebo groups. Production of interleukin 12, interferon α or concanavalin A-stimulated interferon γ by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells was not different between β-carotene-supplemented subjects and those taking placebo. It is concluded that β-carotene-induced enhancement of NK cell activity is not mediated by changes in percentages of CD16+CD56+ NK cells or through up-regulation of interleukin 12 or interferon α.

N2  - Relationships between cognitive function and Fe status were examined in this longitudinal weight loss study (repeated measures within-subject design) which included 3 weeks of baseline, 15 weeks of 50% energy restriction and 3 weeks of weight stabilization. Dietary Fe was fed at twice the US Recommended Dietary Allowance with half of the Fe from food sources and half from an oral supplement. This was a free-living study with the exception that subjects came to the research centre for one meal per day and were provided all other meals and snacks to take home. 14 healthy, premenopausal, obese women (25-42 years old; mean body mass index 31.5 kg/m²) were recruited. Cognitive function, Fe and haematological status, height, body weights and body composition were measured at baseline; at weeks 5, 10 and 15 of the energy restriction period; and again at the end of the weight stabilization period. Computerized cognitive tests included: Bakan vigilance task, 2 finger tapping, simple reaction time, immediate word recall and a focused attention task. Fe status and haematological measures included: serum Fe, total Fe binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation, serum ferritin, haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit, red cell count, mean cell volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and red cell distribution width. A significant reduction in Hb, haematocrit and red blood cell count occurred across the study. Hb at the end of the study was positively correlated (r = 0.72, P&lt;0.01) with mean performance on a measure of sustained attention. Transferrin saturation also correlated positively with sustained attention task performance for those subjects whose Hb decreased across the study (r = 0.86, P&lt;0.01). It was suggested that dieting diminishes Fe status in obese women, even when sufficient dietary Fe is available, and that the inability to sustain attention may be an early sign of developing Fe deficiency in dieting women.

N2  - Seasonal changes in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were studied in 51 black and 39 white women aged 20-40 years from Boston, USA. Individual measurements were made in February or March (February-March), June or July (June-July), October or November (October-November) and the following February or March (February-March). Samples from the 4 visits were analysed in batches at the end of the study. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D was substantially lower in black than in white women at all the time points, including February-March when values were lowest (30.2±19.7 nmol/litre in black and 60.0±21.4 nmol/litre in white women) and June-July when they were highest (41.0±16.4 nmol/litre in black and 85.4±33.0 nmol/litre in white women). Although both groups showed seasonal variation in 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, the mean increase between February-March and June-July was smaller in black women (10.8±14.0 nmol/litre compared with 25.4±29.8 nmol/litre in white women, P=0.006) and their overall amplitude of seasonal change was lower (P=0.001). Concentrations of serum parathyroid hormone in February-March were higher (P&lt;0.005) in black women (5.29±2.32 pmol/litre) than in white women (4.08±1.41 pmol/litre) and were inversely correlated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D in blacks (r = -0.42, P=0.002) but not in whites. It is concluded that although it is well established that blacks have denser bones and lower fracture rates than whites, elevated parathyroid hormone concentrations resulting from low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations may have negative skeletal consequences within black populations.

N2  - 11 men and 15 women aged 20-78 years received phylloquinone 1.43 or 50 µg/kg body weight orally with a fat-rich meal containing fat, carbohydrate and protein 1.0 g/kg body weight and cholesterol 7.0 mg/kg body weight. Blood was obtained at baseline (0 h) and 3, 6, 9 and 12 h after the meal for the measurement of plasma lipid and phylloquinone concentrations in plasma and lipoprotein subfractions. In both groups of subjects, triacylglycerol concentrations peaked after 3 h in plasma and in the triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein fraction, composed of chylomicrons and VLDL. Plasma phylloquinone concentrations peaked at 6 h. At baseline and during the postprandial phase, &gt;53% of plasma phylloquinone was carried by the triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein fraction. In 9 of the 11 subjects supplemented with phylloquinone 50 µg/kg, plasma lipoproteins were isolated by sequential ultracentrifugation. In these subjects the fraction of plasma phylloquinone carried by LDL and by HDs increased progressively from 3 and 4% at 3 h to 14 and 11% at 12 h, respectively. It is concluded that whereas triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins are the major carriers of phylloquinone, LDL and HDL may carry small fractions of this vitamin.

N2  - Nutrition information and dietary data for a sample of US household meal planners (US Department of Agriculture's 1989-91 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes of Individuals) are used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of various dietary determinants on cholesterol intake. Holding sociodemographic and household characteristics constant, greater nutrition information translates into significantly lower intake of dietary cholesterol. Evidence supports the hypothesis that schooling promotes better health behaviour through greater acquisition and use of health information. Blacks and Hispanics stand to benefit from nutrition education programmes to increase their awareness of diet-health relationships. A low-calorie diet decreases the intake of cholesterol more than a low-fat diet.

N2  - The effects of exogenous porcine growth hormone (pGH) administration on circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentration, IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP); tissue growth and protein synthesis in neonatal pigs was studied. Pigs aged 1 day were given daily intramuscular injections of pGH 1 mg/kg body weight (n=6) or saline (n=5) for 7 days, after which time in vivo protein synthesis was measured using a bolus of [³H]-phenylalanine. Mean plasma pGH concentration in pGH-treated pigs measured on day 7 was 22-fold higher than in controls. The plasma IGF-I concentration in pGH-treated pigs was significantly greater than in controls after 1 day of treatment and plateaued at 285% of control values after 4 days. After 7 days of treatment, plasma IGFBP-3 concentrations and the plasma glucose response to a meal were also greater in pGH-treated than control pigs. pGH treatment significantly increased body weight gain and food conversion efficiency and the protein synthesis rate in several visceral organs. It is concluded that exogenous pGH increases circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 concentrations and visceral organ growth in neonatal pigs, suggesting that the somatotrophic axis is functional in the neonate.

N2  - Bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were examined in 14 women enrolled in a 15-week weight loss programme. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of the total body were made at baseline (T1), the midpoint of weight loss (T2) and at the end of weight loss (T3). Body weight changed significantly throughout the 15 week, decreasing from a high of 89.7±3.6 to 74.1±3.2 kg. Fat-free mass decreased initially (47.8±1.7 kg at T1, 45.7±1.4 kg at T2 and 46.0±1.5 kg at T3) and then stabilized. Fat mass changed significantly during the study (39.2 kg at T1, 32.4 kg at T2, and 29.3 kg at T3). No significant differences were observed in BMC or bone areal measurement during the study. However, BMD decreased significantly from baseline (1.217 g/cm² at T1, 1.197 g/cm² at T2 and 1.200 g/cm² at T3). The changes in BMC and BA were in opposite directions, resulting in a significant decrease in BMD without a loss of BMC. It is suggested that changes in BMD observed with weight loss may be the result of a lack of instrument sensitivity when body weight and composition change and are simply an artifact and not a physiologic change in BMD.

N2  - Serum ferritin was used as a measure of body Fe stores in 634 free-living elderly (aged 67-93 years) and dietary intake during the previous year was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. The relation between serum ferritin and various dietary factors was assessed by multiple regression analysis. Subjects whose ferritin concentrations might be pathologically elevated because of infection, inflammation, liver disease or genetic haemochromatosis were excluded from the analysis. After controlling for sex, age, body mass index, total energy intake, smoking and use of aspirin and other medications known to affect blood loss, 5 significant dietary factors associated with Fe stores were found. Haem Fe, supplemental Fe, dietary ascorbic acid and alcohol were positively associated with serum ferritin, whereas coffee intake had a negative association. As expected, sex was a strong predictor of serum ferritin-women having significantly lower mean concentrations than men. However, age was not related to serum ferritin in this elderly population. It is suggested that in typical Western-style diets, a small number of dietary factors probably modulate the availability of dietary Fe and influence the accumulation of Fe stores.

N2  - A mild vitamin K deficiency was induced in 12 healthy adult men and women by dietary restriction of phylloquinone (40 µg/day for days 1-11) and by administration of warfarin 1.0 mg/day (days 5-11). On day 11, subjects received a 500 ml intravenous solution of lipid or saline, which contained phylloquinone 154 µg. Availability was assessed by serial measurements of plasma phylloquinone, vitamin K1-2,3,-epoxide, PIVKA-II (proteins induced by vitamin K absence or antagonists-II) and percentage undercarboxylated osteocalcin. As a result of vitamin K deficiency and minidose warfarin, vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide, PIVKA-II and percentage undercarboxylated osteocalcin increased significantly between days 1 and 11. With the infusions, plasma phylloquinone increased in both groups (P=0.001). After the infusions vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide decreased in both groups (P=0.002). Changes in plasma phylloquinone and vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide were no different in the 2 groups (mean areas under the curve: 116±13 nmol h-1 litre-1 for the saline group and 102±20 nmol h-1 litre-1 for the lipid group for phylloquinone; 38.6±7.5 nmol h-1 litre-1 for the saline group and 31.3±9.0 nmol h-1 litre-1 for the lipid group for vitamin K1-2,3-epoxide). PIVKA-II decreased significantly from baseline values in both groups after the infusions. Intravenous lipid reversed the effects of minidose warfarin and of dietary restriction of phylloquinone on haemostasis and vitamin K nutritional status. This reversal was no different from that seen with the infusion of phylloquinone in a saline solution.

N2  - To examine whether total fat intake is actually lower in reduced-fat (low-fat and skim) milk drinkers and whether reduced-fat-milk drinkers compensate for energy intake, the intakes of foods, energy and energy-yielding nutrients in reduced-fat-milk drinkers and whole milk drinkers were compared using the US Department of Agriculture's 1989-91 nationwide food intake database, the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. This database represents a national stratified sample population of 15 128 individuals. Of the survey population, approximately one-third consumed whole milk, one-third consumed low-fat milk, one-tenth consumed skim milk and one-tenth consumed mixed types of milk. Total fat intake of reduced-fat-milk drinkers was significantly lower than that of whole milk drinkers. In general, males but not females compensated for energy by increasing their carbohydrate intake. Reduced-fat-milk drinkers consume more fruit and vegetables (P≤0.05) and less red meat and sweets (P≤0.05) than whole milk drinkers. Through their reduction in total fat intake, several age groups of skim milk drinkers have achieved the US dietary goal for fat intake, i.e., ≤30% of energy intake from fat. Teenagers compensated for energy intake the least of all age groups and with advancing age, fewer people drank milk and fewer drank whole milk. The data indicate significant sex differences in energy compensation, that reduced-fat-milk drinkers consume significantly less fat than whole milk drinkers, and that the US dietary goal for fat intake may be practically achieved by consuming reduced-fat foods such as skim milk and limiting intakes of high-fat foods such as red meat.

N2  - Eight overweight (30-50%) women aged 28-41 years, consumed a weight stabilization diet for 3 weeks; for the next 15 weeks their energy intake was reduced by 50%, while still providing adequate protein, vitamins and minerals. Indices of immune response were determined twice at the end of each metabolic period. Energy restriction caused a mean weight loss of 13.2 kg, 25% decrease in natural killer cell numbers, and a 20-30% decrease in their in vitro activity determined at different effector to target cell ratios (P&lt;0.05). Energy restriction also caused a decrease (P&lt;0.05) in the number of circulating monocytes, while the numbers of circulating granulocytes and lymphocytes were unaffected. In vitro secretion of interleukin (IL) 1, IL2 and IL2R by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide or phytohaemagglutinin were not altered by energy restriction. There was a 38% increase (P=0.001)in the concentration of serum cortisol associated with energy restriction, which may have lead to the decline in immune functions. Although, there were no obvious health risks to participants of this study, potentially they could be at increased risk for viral infections and tumor growth.

N2  - Zn absorption, mineral balance and blood lipid concentrations were measured in 21 women (33±7 years old) consuming controlled lactoovovegetarian and non-vegetarian diets for 8 weeks each in a crossover design. The lactoovovegetarian and non-vegetarian diets, respectively, provided (by analysis) Ca 973 and 995 mg, Cu 1.8 and 1.3 mg, Mg 367 and 260 mg, Mn 5.9 and 2.5 mg, P 1457 and 1667 mg, Zn 9.1 and 11.1 mg and (by calculation) dietary fibre 40 and 16 g, phytic acid 2.5 and 0.8 mmol, molar ratios of phytate to Zn of 14 and 5 and millimolar ratios of (phytate × Ca) to Zn of 344 and 111, respectively. Dietary Zn absorption was measured by extrinsic isotopic labelling and whole-body counting. Plasma cholesterol fractions and lipoproteins were reduced by 7-12% with the lactoovovegetarian diet, consistent with predictions based on dietary cholesterol and fat. Blood pressure was unaffected. Ca, Cu, Mg and P balances did not differ between diets; Mn balance tended to be greater with the lactoovovegetarian diet (P&lt;0.07). The lactoovovegetarian diet was associated with a 21% reduction in absorptive efficiency that, together with a 14% reduction in dietary Zn, reduced the amount of Zn absorbed by 35% (2.4 compared with 3.7 mg/day) and reduced plasma Zn by 5% within the normal range. Zn balance was maintained with both diets. It was concluded that although there was a greater risk of Zn deficiency in persons consuming lactoovovegetarian compared with omnivorous diets, with inclusion of whole grains and legumes Zn requirements can be met and Zn balance maintained.

N2  - To determine whether the lean body mass of well-nourished women was mobilized to support milk protein output during lactation, the body composition of 10 lactating and 10 nonlactating women was examined longitudinally at 6-week intervals between 6 and 24 weeks postpartum and at 52 weeks postpartum and that of 10 nulliparous women was examined at equivalent intervals, by using clinical anthropometry and whole-body K counting. Milk production was determined at 6-week intervals during the period of exclusive breast-feeding (6-24 weeks postpartum) by the test-weighing procedure. Milk composition was determined by chemical analysis. Dietary intakes were determined at 6-week intervals between 6 and 24 weeks postpartum from 3-day food records with use of a nutrient database. Lean body mass was maintained in women who exclusively breast-fed their infants during the first 6 months postpartum while consuming dietary protein in amounts that exceeded those of their nonlactating counterparts by 55%. The high protein intakes were sustained throughout lactation despite a progressive reduction by 32% of milk protein output. It was concluded that lean body mass was preserved throughout lactation in well-nourished women, suggesting that the metabolic needs of milk protein production were met solely by higher protein intakes of the lactating women.

N2  - To evaluate relationships among members of the putative Ajellomyces clade, large-subunit ribosomal and internal transcribed spacer region DNA sequences were determined from PCR-amplified DNA fragments. Sequences were analysed phylogenetically to evaluate the genetic variation within the genus Emmonsia and evolutionary relationships to other taxa. E. crescens and E. parva were distinct species. E. crescens isolates were placed into 2 groups that correlated with their continents of origin. Considerable variation occurred among isolates previously classified as E. parva. Most isolates were placed into 2 closely related groups, but the remaining isolates, including some from human sources, were phylogenetically distinct and represented undescribed species. Strains of B. dermatitidis were a sister species of E. parva. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Histoplasma capsulatum were ancestral to most Emmonsia isolates, and P. brasiliensis, which has no known teleomorph, fell within the Ajellomyces clade.

N2  - Five, 2 kg test samples were taken from each of 120 US farmers' stock peanut [groundnut] lots contaminated with aflatoxin. Kernels from each 2 kg sample were divided into the following grade components: sound mature kernels plus sound splits (SMKSS), other kernels (OK), loose shelled kernels (LSK) and damaged kernels (DAM). Kernel mass, aflatoxin mass and aflatoxin concentration were measured for each of the 2400 component samples. For 120 lots tested, mean aflatoxin concentrations in SMKSS, OK, LSK and DAM components were 235, 2543, 11 775 and 69 775 ng/g, respectively. Aflatoxins in SMKSS, OK, LSK and DAM components represented 6.9, 7.9, 33.3 and 51.9% of the total aflatoxin mass, respectively. Cumulatively, 3 aflatoxin risk components, OK, LSK and DAM, accounted for 93.1% of total aflatoxin, but only 18.4% of test sample mass. Correlation analysis suggested that the most accurate predictor of aflatoxin concentration in the lot is the cumulative aflatoxin mass in the high 3 risk components OK + LSK + DAM (correlation coefficient, r=0.996). If the aflatoxin in the combined OK + LSK + DAM components was expressed in concentration units, r decreased to 0.939. Linear regression equations relating aflatoxin in OK + LSK + DAM to aflatoxin concentration in the lot were developed. The cumulative aflatoxin in the OK + LSK + DAM components was not an accurate predictor (r=0.539) of aflatoxin in the SMKSS component. Statistical analyses of 3 other data sets published previously yielded similar results.

N2  - Sera from 75 water buffaloes from Egypt were examined using a direct agglutination test incorporating mercapto-ethanol for antibodies to Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. Antibodies to N. caninum were found in 51 (68%) of the buffaloes, in titres of 1:20 (6 buffaloes), 1:40 (15 buffaloes), 1:160 (one buffalo), 1:320 (one buffalo) and ≥ 1:640 (28 buffaloes), using N. caninum formalin-preserved whole tachyzoites as antigen. Antibodies to T. gondii were not found in a 1:100 dilution of serum of any of the 75 buffaloes, using T. gondii as antigen, indicating specificity in the detection of antibodies to N. caninum. This is the first report of N. caninum prevalence in water buffaloes.

N2  - The effect of 137Cs irradiation on unsporulated and sporulated Toxoplasma gondii oocysts was investigated as a model system for sterilisation of fruit contaminated with other coccidia such as Cyclospora or Cryptosporidium. Unsporulated oocysts irradiated at ≥0.4 to 0.8 kGy sporulated but were not infective to mice. Sporulated oocysts irradiated at ≥0.4 kGy were able to excyst, and sporozoites were infective but not capable of inducing a viable infection in mice. Toxoplasma gondii was detected in histological sections of mice up to 5 days but not at 7 days after feeding oocysts irradiated at 0.5 kGy. Transmission electron microscopy showed that sporozoites from irradiated oocysts penetrated enterocytes and all cells in the lamina propria except for red blood cells. Sporozoites appeared normal ultrastructurally and formed a typical parasitophorous vacuole containing a well-developed tubulovesicular membrane network. Raspberries inoculated with sporulated T. gondii oocysts were rendered innocuous after irradiation at 0.4 kGy. Results indicate that irradiation at 0.5 kGy is effective in "killing" coccidian oocysts on fruits and vegetables.

N2  - Topical insecticide bioassays revealed that last-instar nymphs of Blattella germanica were up to 19.8-fold more tolerant of bendiocarb than adult males. Pretreatment with the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, eliminated this difference. Acetylcholinesterase activity was equally inhibited by bendiocarb in both the last-instar nymphal and adult male stages. The bimolecular rate constant (ki) for adult males was 3.58×105±1.0/M/min, which was not statistically different from nymphs at 3.33×105±1.1/M/min. Similar ki values indicated that altered acetylcholinesterase does not contribute to the increased nymphal tolerance to bendiocarb. These results indicated that increased detoxification catalysed by microsomal oxidases is responsible for the enhanced nymphal tolerance to bendiocarb in the Village Green strain.

N2  - Mosquito biting rates and the mean duration of protection (in hours) from bites (MDPB) of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles quadrimaculatus, using the repellent 'deet' [diethyltoluamide] (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) on a 50 cm² area of healthy human skin, were observed in small (27 litre), medium (~65 litre) and large (125 litre) cages containing low, medium or high densities of mosquitoes: respectively, 640, 128 or 49 cm³ of cage volume per female. At the initial treatment rate of ~0.4 µl/cm² (1 ml of 25% deet in ethanol on 650 cm² of skin), the MDPB for deet against Aedes aegypti ranged from 4.5 to 6.5 h and was significantly less (5.0±0.8 h) in large cages compared with medium (6.2±0.9 h) and small (6.2±0.8 h) cages, regardless of the density. Against Anopheles quadrimaculatus the MDPB for deet 0.4 µl/cm² was 1.5-8.0 h, less in small (3.7±2.3 h) and large (2.2±1.1 h) cages at medium (3.7±2.3 h) and high (2.5±1.7 h) mosquito densities, and was longest in medium cages (6.2±2.6 h) at low mosquito densities (5.8±2.8 h). With equinoxial photoperiodicity (light on 06.00-18.00 h) the biting rate was influenced by the time of observation (08.00, 12.00, 16.00 h) for Aedes aegypti, but not for Anopheles quadrimaculatus. For both species, the biting rate was inversely proportional to mosquito density and the MDPB. The shortest MDPBs were obtained in large cages with high densities of mosquitoes and longest protection times occurred in medium sized cages with low mosquito densities.

N2  - A sensitive, monoclonal antibody-based competition ELISA was developed for detecting ceftiofur and its metabolites in milk. Raw milk was diluted and added directly into the ELISA. Using ceftiofur standards, the immunoassay had a limit of detection of about 1 ppb. Matrix effects in milk, however, require that samples be diluted, and thus ceftiofur levels &lt;1 ppm were not measured. At fortification levels between 25 and 2 ppm, an average recovery of 99.8% was observed. Analysis of incurred residues in cows injected daily with therapeutic doses of ceftiofur for 5 consecutive days correlated well with studies measuring total 14C-ceftiofur residues in cows given the same dose and regime. HPLC analysis of the incurred residue samples only detected a metabolite of ceftiofur, desfuroylceftiofurcystine, at levels below those reported for ceftiofur metabolites in the ELISA. It is concluded that the ELISA is measuring ceftiofur, in addition to its desfuroyl metabolites and conjugates of the desfuroyl metabolite not detected by HPLC.

N2  - The article focuses on the efficacy of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) which were developed for its usage both in Canada and the United States. It has several nutrients reference standards, including the Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), and Adequate Intake. It has specific uses in dietary assessment for various individuals or groups. The RDA is claimed to be acceptable because it posses the acceptable basis in science so it should be included in the dietary intake of individuals. However, Doctor George Beaton, in his recent paper in "Nutrition Reviews," summarized by drawing some conclusions and said that the RDA is not based in science so it should be abolished. The article concludes that the RDA holds an important place in nutrition education and dietary counseling.

AB  - The authors reflect on why dietary patterns are useful for understanding the role of diet in chronic disease. They state that the use of foods groups is helpful in seizing the complexity of diet that is often lost in nutrient-based analyses. They mention the role of nutritional epidemiology in the study of individual nutrients and foods with few limitations for dietary pattern analysis.

N2  - Insoluble fibre fractions from raw and extruded oat, rice and wheat brans were isolated and phytate removed. In vitro mineral binding studies were performed utilizing Cu2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ ions, which were added individually to enzymatically treated, acid washed insoluble fibre residues from oat, rice and wheat brans. The enzymatic digestion step with alpha-amylase, protease and amyloglucosidase served to remove protein and starch from the samples. Mineral binding studies were performed on the insoluble fibre residue. Mineral content was determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Raw brans served as controls. A twin-screw extruder Model DNDG-62/20D, manufactured by Bühlerag (CH-9240, Uzwil, Switzerland) was utilized. The objectives of the study were to determine the total Cu2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ binding capacity of the dephytinized insoluble fibre from each bran; and to determine if extrusion screw speed affected the brans' insoluble fibre mineral binding capacity. Although dephytinized, the brans' insoluble fibre fraction bound Cu2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ ions. Oat bran bound more Cu2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ than wheat bran, which bound more than rice bran. Extrusion processing did not affect the brans' insoluble fibre binding capacity to bind Cu2+. However, it increased the binding capacity of Ca2+ and Zn2+ of the insoluble fibre fraction from rice and oat brans.

N2  - This study examined whether extrusion processing affected phytic acid, and soluble and insoluble fibre contents. The effect of screw speeds of 50, 70 and 100% of maximum rotations per minute (% MRPM) on these components was investigated. A BI-EX Model DNDG-62/20D co-rotating intermeshing self-cleaning twin-screw extruder, manufactured by Bühlerag, CH-9240, Uzwil, Switzerland, was used to process wheat, oat and rice brans. It was found that extrusion did not affect the insoluble fibre content of wheat bran; however, a decrease in this component was observed in rice and oat brans. The effect on rice bran insoluble fibre was greatest at screw speeds of 50 and 70% MRPM. This occurred in oat bran at 50% MRPM. Soluble fibre content increased in all brans after extrusion, except for rice bran extruded at 100% MRPM. For oat and rice bran soluble fibers, the greatest increase occurred at 50 and 70% MRPM, while for wheat bran this occurred at 70 and 100% MRPM. Extrusion did not affect the phytate content of the cereal brans.

N2  - A multitracer stable isotope technique was used to assess Ca and Mg balance in 12 boys and 13 girls aged 9-14 years (mean weight: 42 kg) maintained on relatively high Ca intakes (mean: 1310±82 mg/day). There were no differences in absorption of Ca or Mg from milk between boys and girls. Ca retention correlated positively with calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D) concentration (r=0.48, P=0.02) and serum alkaline phosphatase activity (r=0.44, P=0.03). There was no relation between Mg balance and concentration. When data from this study were combined with the authors' previously reported data, an increase in total Ca absorption was seen for pubertal (Tanner stages 2-4) but not prepubertal (Tanner stage 1) white children over the range of intakes from ~750 to 1350 mg/day. Despite intakes similar to the 1989 recommended dietary allowance for Mg (mean intake: 6.4±1.2 mg\kg daily), 11 of the 25 subjects (6 girls and 5 boys) were in negative Mg balance. It is concluded that benefits from higher Ca intakes ≤1350 mg/day were most apparent in pubertal children. Higher Mg intakes should be considered for children.

N2  - To test the relation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to the commonly used anthropometric surrogates for fat patterning, including waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference, subscapular skin fold thickness and ratio of triceps to subscapular skin fold thickness, 48 normotensive African American women with &gt;120% of ideal body weight were recruited on the basis of WHR &gt;0.85 (upper-body obesity (UBO); n=23) and &lt;0.76 (lower-body obesity (LBO); n=25). There were no differences between groups in age, height, weight, body mass index or percentage of body fat. VAT was determined by magnetic resonance imaging at L4-5; percentage of fat was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Women with UBO had significantly larger mean depots of VAT at L4-5 than did women with LBO (0.26±0.02 compared with 0.19±0.02 litre). Waist circumference was the single best predictor of VAT at L4-5 in both groups of women whereas WHR was significantly associated with VAT at L4-5 only in women with UBO. It is concluded that in African American women, waist circumference is a better surrogate for VAT than is WHR.

N2  - In a 2-phase, 18-day intervention study, voluntary energy intakes and macronutrient oxidation rates during the fasting and fed states were determined in 7 pairs of identical male twins aged 20-44 years. In contrast with results of previous intervention studies, in which low-fat and high-fat diets were not matched for energy density and other associated variables, no significant difference were observed in voluntary energy intake between the low-fat (20% energy as fat) and high-fat (40% energy as fat) phases, and mean daily intakes were similar (10.3 and 10.7 MJ/day, respectively). Postprandial rates of fat oxidation tended to reflect fat intakes in the 2 dietary phases, thus helping to explain the lack of a difference in mean energy intakes. There was also a significant twin-pair similarity in differences in energy intakes between dietary phases. It is suggested that dietary fat content does not have a major influence on voluntary energy intake when dietary variables usually associated with fat are controlled for and that there may be a familial influence on the effects of dietary fat content on energy intake.

N2  - Body composition values for 297 males aged 3-18 years in 3 ethnic groups (European American (white),n=145; African American (black), n=78; and Mexican American (Hispanic), n=74) determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) are reported. Bone mineral content (BMC), lean tissue mass (LTM), body fat mass and percentage fat are presented as functions of age. Analysis of variance with age, weight and height as covariates was used to evaluate differences among the 3 ethnic groups. BMC and LTM were higher in black than in white males, but no difference in BMC or LTM was evident between the white and Hispanic groups. The relation between total-body BMC and LTM was linear (r = 0.985, P&lt;0.0001) and independent of age or ethnic classification. The Hispanic males had higher body fat values than the white group, whereas the black males generally had lower values than the white group. When adjusted for body size, the Hispanic males continued to have significantly higher body fat and percentage fat than the white or black males. Ethnic-specific equations for the prediction of body composition as a function of age, weight and height were derived. The results for the white males in the present study were compared with DXA-derived reference data reported in other countries for young white males. It is concluded that reference values of total body composition for young healthy males need to be ethnic specific.

N2  - This study describes the distribution and determinants of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and risk factors for low 25(OH)D (≤37.5 nmol/litre) in 290 men and 469 women (67-95 years old) who were in the Framingham Heart Study cohort. Data was collected between 1988 and 1989. Mean 25(OH)D concentrations were 82±29 in men and 71±29 nmol/litre in women. 25(OH)D was low in 6.2% of men and 14.5% of women. 25(OH)D concentrations were strongly associated with season of examination, inversely associated with time spent indoors and body mass index and positively associated with dietary vitamin D intake. In women, concentrations were also inversely associated with age and positively associated with supplemental vitamin D intake and residence for ≥3 months/year in Florida, California or Arizona, USA and, in men, were positively associated with serum creatinine concentrations. Similar amounts of variance in 25(OH)D concentrations were explained by vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure, the former being more important in women and the latter in men. None of the known or suspected determinants of vitamin D status could explain the lower 25(OH)D concentrations in women, but the sex difference was not seen for individuals examined during the winter. It was suggested that inadequate vitamin D status is an important public health problem, which could be readily addressed by adequate vitamin D intake or sunlight exposure.

N2  - The cross-sectional relationship between age-related lens opacities and ascorbic acid supplement use was examined over a 10-12-year period before assessment of lens status in women without diagnosed cataract or diabetes. This design avoided biased measurement of nutrient intake that could result when knowledge of lens opacities influences nutrition-related behaviour or its reporting. The participants were 247 women (56-71 years old), living in the Boston-area, USA, who were selected from the Nurses' Health Study cohort with oversampling of women with high or low ascorbic acid intakes. Lens opacities were graded with the Lens Opacification Classification System II. Use of ascorbic acid supplements for ≥10 years (n=26) was associated with a 77% lower prevalence of early lens opacities (odds ratio: 0.23; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.09, 0.60) at any lens site and a 83% lower prevalence of moderate lens opacities (odds ratio: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.85) at any lens site compared with women who did not use ascorbic acid supplements (n=141) after adjustment for age and other potentially confounding variables. Women who consumed ascorbic acid supplements for &lt;10 years showed no evidence of a reduced prevalence of early opacities. It was suggested that long-term consumption of ascorbic acid supplements may substantially reduce the development of age-related lens opacities.

N2  - Body-composition changes associated with normal aging were examined in a cross-sectional study of 188 healthy men and women (20-89 years old), recruited from the Human Nutrition Research Centre on Aging and Tufts University, USA. Body-composition-measurement techniques were selected that were not sensitive to assumptions about the composition of lean tissue. Cellular mass, lean body mass and fat were assessed "directly" by total body potassium (TBK) measurements and neutron inelastic scattering. TBK content declined at a rate of 7.20±1.00 mg K kg body weight-1 year-1 for females (r = 0.601, P≤0.001) and 9.16±0.96 mg K kg body weight-1 year-1 for males (r = 0.710, P≤0.001). Body fat measurements by neutron inelastic scattering showed a significant increase of percentage body fat with age for female volunteers between the ages of 20 and 50 years and a continuous increase for male volunteers throughout adult life.

N2  - This study examined whether older individuals have an impairment in their ability to oxidize dietary fat, a factor that could help to explain age-associated weight gain. Eight healthy young women (25.3±1.8 years old) and 8 healthy older women (72.3±2.1 years old) were recruited. Fat oxidation was determined by indirect calorimetry before and after consumption of 4 different test meals consumed ≥5 days apart. The intervention meals contained 0, 1046, 2092 or 4184 kJ (simulating extended fasting and consumption of a snack, a small meal and a moderately large meal, respectively), with 35% of energy from fat. The duration of each measurement was the amount of time required for postprandial energy expenditure to return to the premeal fasting value. A total of 96 measurements were obtained, including duplicates for all meal sizes in the younger women (in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle). Total postprandial fat oxidation increased in proportion to meal size in the younger subjects, but did not increase above that for the 2092-kJ meal in the older women. In addition, older subjects had lower total fat oxidation after consumption of the 4184-kJ meal than the younger women (781 vs. 1029 kJ/measurement, P&lt;0.02) and also had increased fat deposition (745 vs. 464 kJ/measurement, P&lt;0.02). It was concluded that, relative to younger women, older women have a reduced ability to oxidize dietary fat when they consume large meals.

N2  - A fiber-optic immunosensor was used to determine concentrations of fumonisin B1 (FB1) in both spiked and naturally contaminated corn [maize] samples. Monoclonal antibodies produced against FB1 were covalently bound through a heterobifunctional silane to an etched 800 µm core optical fibre. An evanescent wave effect was used to excite fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled FB1 (FB1-FITC) molecules near the surface of the fibre. A direct competitive assay was used to measure FB1 concentrations with the following steps: saturation of antibody binding sites by FB1-FITC, competition of FB1 and FB1-FITC with displacement of the labelled toxin, and resaturation of binding sites by FB1-FITC. The signal generated in the assay was inversely proportional to the FB1 concentration, with an IC50 of 70 ng/ml and a limit of detection of 10 ng/ml. Maize samples were extracted with a mixture of methanol/water. Two methods were used to prepare the methanolic maize extracts before introduction to the immunosensor: simple dilution of the methanolic maize extract; or affinity column cleanup. Simple dilution of methanolic maize extracts yielded an assay with an IC50 equivalent to 25 µg/g FB1 and a limit of detection of 3.2 µg/g, while affinity clean-up of maize extracts yielded an assay with an IC50 of 5 µg/g and a limit of detection of 0.4 µg/g. Naturally contaminated maize samples were also analysed after either simple dilution or affinity column clean-up. For comparison, the naturally contaminated maize samples were analysed by HPLC. The HPLC method and the immunosensor method agreed well except when large amounts of other fumonisins that cross-react with the immunosensor (fumonisin B2) were present. It is concluded that the immunosensor has the potential to rapidly screen individual maize samples for fumonisins.

N2  - Cuticular hydrocarbons were extracted from females of 5 species of the A. quadrimaculatus complex (from the USA) and studied by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The data were analysed by multivariate techniques to determine the degree of divergence in hydrocarbon patterns and to develop models that allow the discrimination of these species. A. quadrimaculatus, A. smaragdinus and A. maverlius could be separated at 100% from each other and from A. diluvialis and A. inundatus; however, separation of A. diluvialis from A. inundatus was 80% using a 2-way model.

N2  - A 2-step HPLC purification procedure resulted in a factor from the S. calcitrans that depolarizes the lumen-negative transepithelial voltage (Vt) of the adult Malpighian tubule. When applied to tubules of female Aedes aegypti, this factor partially mimics the electrophysiological actions of the mosquito natriuretic factor (MNF). It also selectively increases active transepithelial Na transport by the mosquito Malpighian tubule. The blood meal causes a transient increase in haemolymph Na and Cl contents and haemolymph volume during the course of the 24-h post-feeding period. The level of a factor that is immunologically cross-reactive with the human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases &gt;6-fold within 6 h following a blood meal by S. calcitrans. The temporal pattern of the levels of the ANP-immunoreactive factor closely parallels the blood meal-induced rise and subsequent fall in haemolymph NaCl content and haemolymph volume, suggesting a functional correlation between the ANP-immunoreactive factor and the rate of NaCl and fluid loss from the haemolymph.

N2  - The ability of dairy farmers to market cull-cows and veal calves may be affected by the final rule on Pathogen Reduction and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) Systems, a sweeping reform of the United States Department of Agriculture food safety regulations that was published on 25 July 1996. Although the regulations apply only to slaughter and processing plants handling meat and poultry, the rule will have an impact on food animal producers, including dairy farmers. Under this regulation, plant operators are required to evaluate potential hazards and to devise and implement controls that are appropriate for each product and plant to prevent or reduce those hazards. Processing plants may need to consider the potential hazards associated with incoming animals, such as illegal drug residues, which may result in marked changes in the relationships among some producers, livestock markets and slaughter plants. Such information may actually improve the marketability of some animal classes because documentation will help the packer ensure the safety of products for sale to domestic and foreign markets.

N2  - In 1989, the United States Environmental Protection Agency instituted a sulfite tolerance of 10 µg SO2/g in grapes. Accordingly, the residues resulting from repeated weekly SO2 fumigations of table grapes in storage, a typical industry practice, are a concern. In a simulation of commercial practices, grapes (cv. Thompson Seedless) were fumigated once a week with 2000 or 5000 µl SO2/litre of storage volume and aerated for 30 min while stored at 0°C for at least 14 consecutive weeks. Each week, grapes were frozen immediately after aeration or stored at 0, 10, 20 or 30°C for 24 h. The mean SO2 concentration for the treatment with the highest residues was 2.3 µg/g (5000 µl/litre dose, 7 fumigations). The maximum residue levels at each dose level were observed between the seventh and eleventh weekly fumigations. The influence of post-fumigation temperature on sulfite residue loss was minor and inconsistent. These data suggest that current industry practices leave sulfite residues well below the official legal tolerance.

N2  - This report documents the results of a country-wide pupal survey of A. aegypti conducted in Trinidad between 27 May and 22 June 1994, designed to identify the important A. aegypti-producing containers, importance being a function of a container's abundance and its productivity. Results are summarized on a country-wide basis and by county; urban versus rural comparisons are also made. Numerically, the most common water-filled containers positive for the larvae or pupae of A. aegypti (foci) were outdoor drums, water storage tanks and buckets, laundry tubs, discarded tyres, and small miscellaneous containers such as drink bottles and cans. The island-wide average number of foci per ha was 287 and ranged between 65 and 499. The average standing crop per container of A. aegypti pupae was 9.5 and ranged 12-fold, the most and least productive being the flower pot (&gt;30) and the small indoor vase (&lt;3), respectively. In terms of production by type of container, 4 of the 11 types, outdoor drums, tubs, buckets and small containers, accounted for &gt;90% of all A. aegypti pupae; the remaining 7 types were responsible for &lt;10%. If targeted source reduction programmes were directed by how important various container types were in the production of A. aegypti, environmental sanitation efforts designed to actually eliminate the ubiquitous small receptacle and tyres would reduce mosquito densities by 43%; the provision of an adequate water supply system precluding the need for water storage in drums and buckets would have the potential to eliminate an additional 38%. Combined, these 2 measures have the potential to reduce the sources responsible for &gt;80% of A. aegypti production in the country. In this survey, the traditional Stegomyia indices used to document the density of A. aegypti and predict the threat of dengue transmission, the House, Container and Breteau indices, were seen to have virtually no correspondence with the actual number of pupae per ha or per person. It was concluded that pupal survey is more appropriate for assessing risk and directing control operations.

N2  - Spiroplasma strain TN-1T (T = type strain), a strain serologically distinct from other spiroplasma species, groups and subgroups, was isolated from the gut of a horsefly (Tabanus nigrovittatus) from a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, USA. Related strains were isolated from T. atratus, T. americanus, T. gladiator, T. lineola, T. sulcifrons and T. zythicolor, from coastal Georgia. Cells of strain TN-1T in culture were helical and motile with an average of 5-10 helical turns per cell. Electron microscopy determined that the cells of strain TN-1T were surrounded by a single cytoplasmic membrane, and there was no evidence of a cell wall. The spiroplasma grew well in M1D and SP-4 liquid media. Serum fraction (1%) medium and conventional horse serum medium also supported growth of strain TN-1T. Fried-egg colonies were not produced; instead, the strain produced small diffuse colonies that were surrounded by satellite growth. The optimum temperature for growth was 32°C, but multiplication was observed at temperatures from 10 to 41°C. The doubling time at the optimum temperature (32°C) was 1.6 h. No growth was observed at 5 or 43°C. Spiroplasma strain TN-1T passed through 220-nm filter pores but failed to pass through 100-nm filter pores. Strain TN-1T catabolized glucose but hydrolysed neither arginine nor urea. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the DNA was about 25±1 mol%, and the genome size was 1370 kbp. Based on results from this study and previously published data, strain TN-1T ( = ATCC 43211) (group XVIII) is designated the type strain of a new spiroplasma species, S. litorale sp. nov.

N2  - Antibody titres to Toxoplasma gondii were determined in 16 pigs orally inoculated with 1000 or 10 000 oocysts of 1 of 4 strains (GT-1, ME-49, TS-2, TC-2) of T. gondii. Pigs were killed on days 103-875 pi and their tissues were bioassayed for T. gondii. Antibody titres were measured in the modified agglutination test (MAT) using formalin-preserved (test A) or acetone-preserved (test B) tachyzoites, latex agglutination test (LAT), indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), ELISA, and the Sabin-Feldman dye test (DT). T. gondii was isolated from all but 2 (one with GT-1 strain and one with TC-2 strain) of the inoculated pigs. Results of the serological tests varied by test used, by strain of T. gondii and from pig to pig within groups. One pig inoculated with the TC-2 strain was considered not to be infected because it remained seronegative in all tests and T. gondii was not isolated from its tissues by bioassay. The IHA and LAT did not produce consistently positive results with infected pigs and 2 pigs remained seronegative (&lt;1:64) in both tests. At the time of necropsy, IHA titres had declined to &lt;1:64 in 5 pigs and LAT titres had declined to &lt;1:64 in 4 pigs. The MAT (test A) and ELISA detected antibodies in all infected pigs but ELISA did not detect antibody at the time of necropsy in one pig. Antibody titres peaked earliest in the DT. Antibody titres in the MAT (test B) peaked at 2560 in all seropositive pigs by 6 weeks pi but declined to &lt;1:160 by 15 weeks pi; it is suggested that this test may be useful in determining recency of T. gondii infection in pigs. Overall, the MAT (test A) gave the most consistent results.

N2  - Serum samples from Toxoplasma gondii-negative pigs infected with protozoa, helminths and viruses, and from fetal pigs were examined for cross reacting antibodies to T. gondii using the modified agglutination test (MAT). Nonspecific reactions with T. gondii antigen were not found in 1:10 dilutions of sera from 8 pigs experimentally infected with Sarcocystis miescheriana, 11 pigs infected with Ascaris suum, 3 pigs infected with Trichuris suis, 10 pigs infected with Trichinella spiralis, 9 pigs infected with various porcine viruses, 6 gnotobiotic pigs, and 82 fetal pigs. Antibodies were also not found in 1:25 dilution of sera from 200 naturally aborted fetal pigs. Thus, no evidence was found for cross reactivity to T. gondii with unrelated or related organisms using the MAT.

N2  - Conventional extraction procedures with acetonitrile were compared with supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO2 for determining 10 pyrethroids in fortified lettuce and meat samples. Because SFE utilized a minimal cleanup procedure, nonvolatiles may accumulate on the capillary column in both the gas chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry (GC-ITMS) and electron capture (EC) detection modes shortening the lifetime of the columns after multiple injections. The GC-ITMS method proved satisfactory for analysis of lettuce, whereas EC-GC proved more suitable for residue analysis of meat samples. Improvements in multiresidue methods for monitoring of synthetic pyrethroids in raw agricultural commodities should aid in registration and reregistration activities.

N2  - One kilogram of a pesticide is not necessarily equal to a kilogram of a different pesticide. This issue can be significant. Whether it is depends on the use to which pesticide-use data are put. While kilograms of pesticide is the most common way of measuring agricultural chemical use, the type of analysis will generally define what measure of chemical use is best. Quantifying the risk from the exposure to pesticides, for example, typically requires weighing usage or residues by acute or chronic health and environmental toxicity coefficients and subsequently estimating human or environmental exposure to such hazards. The inferences drawn concerning pesticide use can vary substantially depending on the measure considered.

N2  - This study investigated if long-term energy restriction under controlled conditions adversely affects cognitive function in obese women. Subjects were healthy, premenopausal women between 23-42 years old (dieting group: n=14; control group: n=11). This was a longitudinal weight loss study (repeated measures within-subject design) with 3 weeks of baseline, 15 weeks of 50% energy restriction and 3 weeks of weight stabilization. Computerized cognitive function tests (sustained attention, short-term memory, simple reaction time, motor performance and attentional focus), height, body weight, body composition (TOBEC) and behavioural questionnaires (Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) were completed. Dieting women lost 12.3±5.5 kg of body weight. Controlled long-term energy restriction significantly slowed simple reaction time but did not diminish sustained attention, motor performance or immediate memory. Word recall performance significantly improved by 24% at the end of energy restriction. The slowing of simple reaction time is a short-term and long-term consequence of energy restriction. In contrast to previous short-term dieting studies, sustained attention and immediate memory were not impaired with long-term energy restriction.

N2  - The effect of isolated folic acid deficiency in Sprague-Dawley rats on DNA methylation and DNA strand breaks at the genomic level and within specific sequences of the p53 tumour suppressor gene was investigated. Data indicate that folic acid deficiency induces DNA strand breaks and hypomethylation within the p53 gene. Such alterations did not occur or were chronologically delayed when examined on a genome-wide basis, indicating some selectivity for the exons examined within the p53 gene. Folic acid insufficiency has been implicated in the development of several human and experimental cancers, and aberrations within these regions of the p53 gene that were examined in this study are thought to play an integral role in carcinogenesis. The aforementioned molecular alterations may therefore be a means by which dietary folic acid deficiency enhances carcinogenesis.

N2  - The applicability of incorporating moderate levels of oat fibre extract into a typical diet and the ability of β-glucan to reduce plasma lipids were investigated. Oat fibre extracts containing low (1% by weight) or high (10% by weight) β-glucan were fed to 23 mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects (7 men, aged 50±2.3 years and 16 women, aged 52±1.5 years). A maintenance diet was fed for 1 week followed by diets containing an oat extract for 5 weeks each in a crossover pattern. 5% of the energy from fat in the maintenance diet was replaced with the oat extract in the experimental diets. Energy intake was adjusted to try to maintain each subject's initial weight. Fasting blood was collected several days apart after separate 12 h fasts at the end of each period. Plasma was analyzed for triglycerides, total cholesterol and lipoprotein cholesterol fractions. HDL, HDL2 and VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels after the oat extract diets were not significantly different from those after the maintenance diet. Total and LDL cholesterol levels decreased (P&lt;0.001) from maintenance levels after both oat extract diets. Total cholesterol levels after the higher β-glucan extract diet were lower (P&lt;0.05) than those after the low β-glucan diet. It is concluded that a beneficial reduction of blood cholesterol was obtained with modest amounts of oat extract incorporated into the diet. A significant dose response due to β-glucan concentration in the oat extract was observed in total cholesterol levels.

N2  - Three extraction methods were used to remove lipid materials from 8 edible nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, groundnuts, pecans, pistachios, sunflower seeds and walnuts) before estimation of their total dietary fibre (TDF) and nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) contents. Portions of ground materials were extracted by: n-hexane, followed by 80% methanol; n-hexane-acetic acid (95 + 5, v/v); or supercritical carbon dioxide. Defatted samples were gelatinized in water and incubated with amyloglucosidase; 95% ethanol was added to the hydrolysates and the residues were collected on tared glass crucibles. TDF was calculated according to a simplified enzymatic-gravimetric method and NSP was estimated as described by Englyst et al. (Analyst (1994) 119, 1497-1509). TDF values obtained using any of the extraction methods ranged from 3.47 for cashews to 28.56 g/100 g for sunflower seeds. NSP values ranged from 2.43 for pecans to 5.56 g/100 g for peanuts. With the exception of sunflower seeds, samples extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide had decreased TDF values but similar amounts of NSP compared with samples extracted by the other 2 methods.

N2  - Three ethnic groups of American girls (3-18 years old; 141 European Americans (white), 104 African Americans (black) and 68 Mexican Americans (Hispanic)) living in the Houston metropolitan area were studied. Body composition was examined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Changes in bone mineral content (BMC), lean tissue mass (LTM), fat mass and percentage fat are presented as functions of age. Analysis of variance with age, body weight and height as covariates was used to evaluate differences among the ethnic groups. BMC and LTM were higher in the black than the white girls but there was no difference in BMC or LTM between the white and Hispanic girls. The correlation between the BMC and LTM compartments was linear (r=0.963, P&lt;0.0005) and independent of age or ethnic classification. The Hispanic and black girls had higher percentage fat values than the white girls. When adjusted for body size, the Hispanic girls continued to have significantly higher fat mass and percentage fat than the white girls. Ethnic-specific equations for body composition as a function of age, body weight and height are presented. Moreover, the results for the white girls were compared with DXA-derived body-composition data for reference populations in other countries. It is concluded that reference values of total body composition for young girls need to be ethnic-specific.

N2  - Nine premenopausal women (23-43 years old) were studied at the metabolic research unit of the US Department of Agriculture, Western Human Nutrition Research Centre at the Presidio of San Francisco, USA [date not given]. Women were fed on a low-carotene diet for 120 days. Low-dose β-carotene (0.5 mg/day) was given to 5 women on days 1-60, while 4 received a placebo. All women received a low-dose β-carotene (0.5 mg/day) supplement on days 61-120, plus a carotenoid complex (from vegetables rich in carotenoids) on days 101-120. Serum β-carotene concentration (mean±sem) for the combined β-carotene supplemented and placebo women was not significantly decreased from that on day 1 (1.27±0.24 µmol/litre) on day 60 (0.66±0.14 µmol/litre) or 100 (0.91±0.38 µmol/litre). However, on day 120 (3.39±0.44 µmol/litre) serum β-carotene concentrations increased above those found on days 1, 60 and 100. Maximum mitogenic proliferative responsiveness of blood lymphocytes in vitro to optimal dose phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) was decreased on days 60 (P=0.025) and 100 (P&lt;0.0001) but corrected itself on day 120 to a value above those on day 1 (P=0.04), day 60 (P=0.0001) and day 100 (P&lt;0.0001). Results indicate that a diet low in carotene has a suppressive effect on the maximum mitogenic proliferative responsiveness of blood lymphocytes in vitro, which was not corrected with low-dose β-carotene supplementation but was corrected with a carotenoid complex.

N2  - 72 men (mean±sd 44±15; range 19-81 years old) and 48 women (50±21; range 21-78 years old) participating in 5 previously published studies were examined at Tufts University, Boston, USA [date not given]. Subjects were placed on a baseline diet (for 4.5-10 weeks) similar to an average American diet (total fat 35-41%, saturated fat 13-16%, cholesterol 31-45 mg/MJ) and then on a National Cholesterol Education Programme (NCEP) Step 2 diet (total fat 18-29%, saturated fat 4-7%, cholesterol 11-20 mg/MJ for 4.5-24 weeks) under isoenergetic conditions. All food and drink were provided. Compared with the baseline diet, the NCEP Step 2 diet was associated with significant decreases in concentrations of LDL-cholesterol (-18.9% and 15.6%, respectively) and HDL-cholesterol (-17.0% and -11.2%, respectively) in men and women. Men with the apolipoprotein (apo) E 3,4 phenotype had a significantly greater decrease in LDL-cholesterol (-24.2%) with the NCEP Step 2 diets than men with the apo E 3,3 phenotype (-17.7%). There was a non-significant trend for men with the apo A-IV 1,2 phenotype to have less LDL-cholesterol lowering (-12.8%) than men with the apo A-IV 1,1 phenotype (-19.6%). No differences were seen by apo E and A-IV phenotype in women. A large variability in lipid response to the diet was observed, with changes in LDL-cholesterol ranging from +3% to 55% in men and and from +13% to -39% in women. 48% of the variability in LDL-cholesterol response to the diet could be accounted for by baseline LDL concentrations and age in men, and 13% by age in women.

N2  - The nutrient content of the Italian diet from 1961 to 1992 was estimated using food per capita data from FAO and food composition data from the Italian National Nutrition Institute. All nutrient per capita values have increased since 1961 except carbohydrate (444 vs. 422 g/day for 1961-71 and 1992, respectively). Wheat-based products were important sources of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, iron and potassium; and vegetables were predominant sources of retinol, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, Fe and K. The increase in red meat consumption accounted for some of the increases in fat, protein, retinol, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus and Fe. Compared with the findings reported here, FAO reported increased values for energy, fat and niacin and decreased values for protein, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, thiamin and Ca in all years. The trends for retinol and Fe were similar in both data sets. The trends for niacin and Ca were not similar, however. Compared with the recommended dietary intakes, most of the nutrients were adequate. The exceptions were Ca for adolescents and Fe for females (10-59 years old). It was concluded that different nutrient values and sometimes trends resulted when nutrient composition data and edible portion factors specific to Italy were used to estimate nutrient per capita values.

N2  - Strips from 5 sweet potato (SP: Ipomoea batatas) cultivars (A12, NC1135, A144, NC1714 and A1689) representing 2 different texture/flavour types were prepared and frozen. They were fried and their flavour and texture evaluated by sensory panels. Selected physical and compositional analyses were performed on raw and fried SP. An untrained preference panel tended to score the flavour of the sweeter types highest and the texture of the firm types higher than sweet types. A trained profile panel identified and scored flavour notes and texture categories. This research indicated that the intensity of the flavour notes sweetness and starch and the intensity of texture notes first-bite moistness and first-bite hardness were highly correlated with some of the compositional parameters. Correlation between compositional parameters and the flavour and texture note intensities listed above could be developed into a system to predict those sensory properties in newly developed selections without having to resort to sensory analyses.

N2  - The effect of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on the acute response of tissue protein synthesis to feeding was examined in newborn pigs. Newborn pigs of sows fed control or protein-restricted diets throughout gestation were designated C or IUGR, respectively. Both groups were fasted for 9 h after birth or fed hourly 30 ml colostrum/kg body weight for 2.75 h after a 6-h fast. Fractional rates of tissue protein synthesis (Ks) were measured in vivo with a flooding dose of L-[4-³H]phenylalanine. Birth weight was reduced by 33% in IUGR pigs. IUGR had no effect on Ks in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, jejunum or pancreas. Feeding stimulated tissue Ks similarly in C and IUGR pigs. Fasting plasma insulin concentrations and their increase with feeding were unaffected by IUGR. Plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations were reduced by 42% in IUGR pigs and were not altered by feeding in IUGR or C pigs. There were positive nonlinear relationships between tissue Ks and circulating concentrations of insulin. The results indicate that, in newborn pigs, tissue Ks are unaffected by IUGR, despite reduced plasma IGF-I concentrations. The efficiency with which nutrients stimulate tissue Ks is also not altered by IUGR, perhaps because the increase in plasma insulin concentrations with feeding is unaffected by IUGR.

N2  - Diet-health information and nutrient intake data for a sample of US household meal planners are used to estimate the effect of information on the intake of fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. Results indicate than an awareness of health problems due to excess intake of these nutrients and the self-assessed importance of avoiding too much of these nutrients in one's diet have significant influence on nutrient intake. Results support the allocative efficiency hypothesis which suggests that higher human capital promotes healthier food choices through better acquisition and use of health information. Personal and household characteristics significantly affecting nutrient intake include income, schooling, age, sex, race, ethnicity, body mass index, vegetarianism and dieting status. The informational role of exogenous variables is illustrated by computing their direct and indirect effects on intake.

N2  - To evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of 9,13-di-cis retinoic acid, responses of resting and pokeweed mitogen-stimulated bovine peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes from neonatal calves to physiologic concentrations of 9,13-di-cis retinoic acid were evaluated in vitro. Mononuclear leukocytes were isolated at the same times from cows and their precolostral calves immediately after parturition and from non-pregnant heifers. Production of polyclonal IgM and interferon-γ by resting and pokeweed mitogen-stimulated cultures of mononuclear leukocytes from neonates and adults was unaffected by 9,13-di-cis retinoic acid. 9,13-Di-cis retinoic acid, at 25 nM, inhibited (P&lt;0.05) pokeweed mitogen-induced proliferation of mononuclear leukocytes from non-pregnant heifers, and had no effect on the proliferation of mononuclear leukocytes from the dams or their calves. The results indicate that 9,13-di-cis retinoic acid at physiologic concentrations has negligible effect on the proliferation and function of precolostral calf and adult bovine mononuclear leukocytes in vitro.

N2  - The authors review their research into the role of Coxsackie virus infection in the aetiology of Keshan disease and how this virus interacts with selenium deficiency. Findings related to the interactions between Se status and infection with a myocarditic and an amyocarditic Coxsackie virus; viral genetic change induced by host Se deficiency; and the role of the host's vitamin E status in its response to Coxsackie virus infection, are reported. The role of dietary oxidative stress in Coxsackie virus infection and implications of the authors' findings for the aetiology of Keshan disease, nutrition and viral diseases are discussed. The authors conclude that Keshan disease may be the result of several interacting causes including a dominant nutritional deficiency (Se), other nutritional factors (vitamin E, PUFA) and an infectious agent (Coxsackie virus).

N2  - High-amylose starch seems to resist digestion in vitro. To investigate the in vivo effect of high-amylose starch, diets containing 70% amylose or amylopectin maize starches were fed for 14 weeks each in a crossover design to 14 hyperinsulinaemic men (HI) and 10 healthy controls. Fasting breath samples and periodic post-ingestion samples were analysed for hydrogen during weeks 12 (nibbling tolerance test) and 14 (acute tolerance test) of each phase. Overall breath hydrogen was significantly higher after the amylose tolerance tests (nibbling, P&lt; 0.0005; and acute, P&lt;0.0006). Control subjects, regardless of body mass index (BMI), seemed to adapt to the high-amylose starch diet. Fasting breath hydrogen was significantly higher at week 12 but not at week 14 in HI subjects with a low BMI (&lt;25) consuming amylose than in other subjects. Breath hydrogen of the HI subjects with a moderate (25-27.8) or high (&gt;27.8) BMI increased from week 12 to week 14. The HI subjects with a high BMI averaged lower breath-hydrogen expiration than other HI subjects. After 3 days of excess energy intake, breath hydrogen after amylose was still significantly greater than after amylopectin (P&lt;0.019); fasting breath hydrogen of the control subjects after amylose more closely resembled that of the HI subjects. It was concluded that HI subjects with a high BMI may be more efficient at digesting all starch, therefore decreasing the amount available for colonic digestion. This may be a factor contributing to their greater body weight.

N2  - Optimal calcium intakes of 1500 mg/day have been proposed for elderly people. The effects of Ca supplementation on zinc absorption and balance were examined in 18 relatively healthy, postmenopausal women (59-86 years old). All subjects received a standardized diet of typical foods supplying Zn 269 17.6 mg/day and Ca 890 mg/day for 36 days. In 2 of 3 experimental periods, an additional 468 mg/day of Ca, either from milk or an inorganic calcium phosphate supplement, was provided. Net Zn absorption and Zn balance were significantly reduced by ~2 mg/day during both high-Ca treatments. In a second study, conducted in a separate group of men and women (21-69 years old), a whole-gut lavage, Zn-absorption test was used to examine the acute effect of a CaCO3 supplement (Ca 600 mg), with and without extra Zn, on Zn absorption from a single test meal supplying Zn 7.3 mg. Zn absorption was reduced significantly by 50% when the Ca supplement was given with the meal. Inclusion of extra Zn (7.8 mg) as part of the Ca supplement offset the detrimental effect of Ca on Zn absorption. It was suggested that high-Ca diets can reduce net Zn absorption and balance and may increase the Zn requirement in adult humans.

N2  - 372 children aged 6-9 years from low income districts of Chongqing (CQ), Qingdao (QD) and Shanghai (SH), China were administered zinc 20 mg/day, Zn 20 mg/day with micronutrients (all essential minerals, trace elements and vitamins at 50% of the 1989 US recommended dietary allowance (RDA) except folate at 25% of the RDA and excluding iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus) or micronutrients alone. Treatments were assigned to school classes of 40 or more children each, and administered by teachers 6 days/week for 10 weeks. Changes in knee height and neuropsychological functions were measured. Zn alone had the least effect on knee height (CQ 5.4 mm and QD 5.5 mm) while Zn with micronutrients had the largest effect (CQ 10.9 mm and QD 7.5 mm); micronutrients alone had an intermediate effect (CQ 9.1 mm and QD 6.7 mm). Zn-containing treatments improved neuropsychological functions, but micronutrients alone had little effect. It is concluded that these findings confirm the essentiality of Zn for growth of children, and show, for the first time, the essentiality of Zn for neuropsychological functions of children. In addition, the need for repletion of other potentially limiting nutrients in studies examining the effects of specific nutrients on growth and neuropsychological functions was confirmed.

N2  - Recent US pesticide policy initiatives focus on reducing risks through agricultural research on pest control alternatives. This paper illustrates how research resources could be targeted to reduce risks to food consumers from dietary pesticide residue intake. For 50 chemicals on 10 fruits and vegetables, the paper estimates consumers' dietary intake of pesticides and uses those estimates to develop risk indicators, expressing dietary intake as a percentage of safe levels. These indicators show that risks are higher for small children. The indicators allow for the ranking of pesticides according to their contribution to risk for this vulnerable sub-population. The risks are then traced to four sources: on-farm pesticide use, postharvest pesticide use, pesticides used on imported foods, and cancelled pesticides that persist in the environment. For pesticides that are used mainly on-farm, it is shown that the development of alternatives for risk reduction could be targeted to particular regions and crops. However, research to develop on-farm pest control alternatives will not address all of the sources of pesticide residues in the diet.

N2  - Sheep antisera were produced from hygromycin B-keyhole limpet haemocyanin and were screened with immunodiffusion, ELISA, and fluorescent latex assays. The antisera were evaluated with the BIAcore, a surface plasmon resonance biosensor, for their binding properties without using signal-generating labels. Hygromycin B was immobilized on the sensor chip, and the capture (binding) of the antibody resulted in a proportional increase in mass. Evaluation of the association (ka) and dissociation rate (kd) constants showed that one antibody had an affinity constant (ka/kd) of 1.64E+10. The binding capacities and antisera specificity were determined using a competitive binding of the added drug and hygromycin sensor, detecting hygromycin B from 2.5 ng/ml to 5 mg/ml. Neomycin, gentamicin, spectinomycin, dihydrostreptomycin, and streptomycin (1000 times above safe levels) had negligible binding with the antisera. It is concluded that the BIAcore analysis was more rapid and accurate than the immunochemical assays and allow rapid development of methods of hygromycin B analysis in biological samples.

N2  - Six cows (1-6) naturally infected with B. suis biovar 1 and 1 calf (2A) from cow 2, all from Florida, were kept in an animal biosafety level 2 facility along with 2 serologically negative, non-vaccinated cows (7 and 8) and a bull as controls. 10 calves were born to respective parents - 2B, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B. After 2 years the animals were killed and examined, tissues and sera cultured for Brucella and tested for Brucella antibodies with 10 standard tests. Blood samples, vaginal swabs, quarter milk samples, serum samples and placentas were also tested during the study. Before parturition B. suis biovar 1 was continuously isolated from milk of infected cows, except cow 2 which was intermittent. Brucella was not isolated from milk of cows 2 and 5 following parturition but was from the other infected cows. No Brucella was isolated from the vaginal swabs, blood or placenta. Cow 6's calf died at birth and the cow killed and examined. B. suis was isolated from mammary gland, mammary lymph nodes and pharyngeal lymph nodes. No Brucella was isolated from the control animals. All infected cows were serologically positive with 1 or more test, and the controls all negative. All calves from infected cows had titres after 24 h of birth, except 6A which was negative at birth. After 2 years all the calves were serologically negative. It was concluded that B. suis biovar 1 can naturally infect cattle and is shed in milk, presenting a health hazard in unpasteurized milk. In Florida cattle are at risk from infection being passed from feral pigs.

AB  - Objective Squire's Quest! II: Saving the Kingdom of Fivealot , an online video game, promotes fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. An evaluation study varied the type of implementation intentions used during the goal-setting process (none, action, coping, or both action and coping plans). Participants who created action plans reported higher FV consumption 6 months after baseline. This study assessed changes by specific meal in that study. Methods A total of 400 fourth- and fifth-grade children completed 3 24-hour recalls at baseline and 6 months later. These were averaged to obtain FV intake. Analyses used repeated-measures ANCOVA. Results There was a significant group by time effect for vegetables at 6 months ( P = .01); Action ( P = .01) and coping ( P = .04) group participants reported higher vegetable intake at dinner. There were significant increases in fruit intake at breakfast ( P = .009), lunch ( P = .01), and snack ( P < .001). Conclusions and Implications Setting meal-specific goals and action or coping plans may enable children to overcome barriers and consume FV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background: Compared with other common plant foods, walnuts (Juglans regia) are consistently ranked among the highest in antioxidant capacity. In vitro, walnut polyphenols inhibit plasma and LDL oxidation, while in animal models they lower biomarkers of oxidative stress and raise antioxidant capacity. A limited number of human feeding trials indicate that walnuts improve some measures of antioxidant status, but not others.Methods: A 19 wk, randomized crossover trial was conducted in 21 generally healthy men and postmenopausal women > or = 50 y to study the dose-response effects of walnut intake on biomarkers of antioxidant activity, oxidative stress, and nutrient status. Subjects were randomized to receive either 21 or 42 g raw walnuts/d during each 6 wk intervention phase with a 6 wk washout between phases. Subjects were instructed to consume their usual diet, but refrain from eating any other tree nuts, seeds, peanuts, or ellagitannin-rich foods during the entire study, and other polyphenol-rich foods for 2 d prior to each study visit.Results: Compared to baseline levels, red blood cell (RBC) linoleic acid and plasma pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) were significantly higher after 6 wk with 42 g/d walnuts (P < 0.05 for both). Overall, changes in plasma total thiols, and other antioxidant biomarkers, were not significant with either walnut dose. However, when compared to fasting levels, plasma total thiols were elevated within 1 h of walnut consumption with both doses during the baseline and end visits for each intervention phase (P < 0.05 for all). Despite the observed increase in RBC linoleic and linolenic acids associated with walnut consumption, this substrate for lipid peroxidation only minimally affected malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant capacity. The proportional changes in MDA and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) were consistent with a dose-response effect, although no significant within- or between-group differences were observed for these measures.Conclusions: Walnut consumption did not significantly change the plasma antioxidant capacity of healthy, well-nourished older adults in this pilot study. However, improvements in linoleic acid and pyridoxal phosphate were observed with chronic consumption, while total plasma thiols were enhanced acutely. Future studies investigating the antioxidant effects of walnuts in humans are warranted, but should include either a larger sample size or a controlled feeding intervention.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00626691.

N2  - Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) analysis and comparisons of nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences (1416 nucleotide positions) were used to evaluate phylogenetic relationships among Serpulina hyodysenteriae strain B78T, S. innocens strain B256T, Brachyspira aalborgi strain 513AT, and 8 uncharacterized strains of swine, avian, and human intestinal spirochaetes. From MEE analysis, 9 strains could be assigned to 5 groups containing other intestinal spirochaetes (genetic distances between groups = 0.6-0.9). Chicken spirochaete strain C1 and B. aalborgi 513AT represented unique electrophoretic types and formed their own MEE groups. Despite MEE differences, the 11 strains had highly similar (96.3-99.9%) 16S rRNA sequences. It is concluded that these findings point out limitations of both MEE analysis and 16S rRNA sequence comparisons when used as solitary techniques for classifying intestinal spirochaetes related to Brachyspira/Serpulina species.

N2  - The epidemiology of E. coli O157:H7 is reviewed in detail, and case studies are discussed in relation to E. coli and cattle (screening methods; conclusions; the prevalence and role of E. coli O157:H7 in bovine populations; and other animal reservoirs), foods (estimates of infectious doses, surveys and assays conducted on beef products, presence in milk), water (drinking water outbreaks, swimming-associated outbreaks). Case studies documented show the level of transmission of E. coli O157:H7 from cattle to man, including sporadic infections and outbreaks, and person-to-person transmission in day-care centres and secondary outbreaks are described. The emergence of the first recognised case of E. coli O157:H7 in 1982 and whether this is a new pathogen are further described. Factors that may have led to the emergence/recognition of E. coli O157:H7 are highlighted, including changes in the livestock industry, in food processing and the food industry and consumer preferences.

N2  - A monoclonal antibody-based ELISA was developed for detecting furosemide in milk. An HPLC method, adapted for milk from published methods for detection of furosemide in blood, is also reported. Unlike the HPLC method, no sample preparation was necessary for the ELISA. Raw milk was added directly into the assay, or if needed, was diluted with assay buffer. The ELISA had a lower limit of quantification of 2 ppb and a lower limit of detection of approximately 0.5 ppb than the HPLC method. Good correlations were observed between both methods when milk samples with both incurred and spiked furosemide residues (5-1000 ppb) were analysed.

N2  - Benzethonium chloride (Bztc) is the first totally nonpeptide ligand for an insect, and probably an invertebrate, peptide receptor. Bztc mimicked the inhibitory physiological activity of the myosuppressins, a subfamily of the FLRFamides, in 3 different insect bioassay systems. The inhibitory action of leucomyosuppressin and the nonpeptide Bztc in both the cockroach (Leucophaea maderae [Rhyparobia maderae]) hindgut and the mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) neuromuscular junction could be blocked by the lipoxygenase inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, providing evidence for similar modes of action. Lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid may mediate inhibition of neuromuscular transmission by these 2 factors. In addition, Bztc competitively displaced a radiolabelled myosuppressin analogue from high- and low-affinity receptors of the locust (Locusta migratoria) oviduct. Thus, the nonpeptide interacts with both binding and activating regions of myosuppressin receptors. Molecular dynamics experiments in which selected functional groups of Bztc were fitted onto corresponding functional groups of low-energy myosuppressin pentapeptide structures indicated how Bztc may mimic the myosuppressins at a molecular level. The discovery of Bztc as a nonpeptidal peptidomimetic analogue provides an opportunity to develop new pest management strategies by targeting an insect's own peptide receptor.

Transplacental transmission is the only recognized means of transmission. Neosporosis is a major cause of abortion in cattle and causes fatal neuromuscular disorders in dogs. Its zoonotic potential is unknown.

N2  - An ELISA and a simple aqueous extraction procedure were developed for the analysis of salinomycin in chicken liver (the target tissue). Results from the analysis of incurred salinomycin residues in chicken livers obtained by both the ELISA and a HPLC method were highly correlated (P&lt;0.0001). The ELISA method could detect 20 ng of drug in a 100 µl sample and had a limit of quantification of 50 ppb in chicken liver tissue. The limit of quantification was lower with the ELISA method than with the HPLC method.

N2  - The infectivity and pathogenicity of oocysts of the VEG strain of Toxoplasma gondii were studied in Sprague-Dawley weaned rats (~130 g in weight). Groups of 5 rats were each inoculated orally with different numbers of infective oocysts (dosage increased 10-fold from one up to one million oocysts). Three of the 5 rats inoculated with one million oocysts died of acute toxoplasmosis between day 6 and 9 pi; all other rats survived. Tissue cysts were found in brains of all rats fed ≥10 oocysts and in 3 of 6 rats fed one oocyst. The average number of tissue cysts in brains of rats was 300, 180, 528, 600, 396, 1200 and 2650 in rats fed 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 and one million oocysts, respectively. Microscopic lesions were seen in brains of all T. gondii-infected rats and the frequency of lesions was usually proportional to the dose. Antibodies (≥1:512) to T. gondii were detected in sera of all infected rats at 29 days pi by the modified agglutination test, the commercially available latex agglutination test, and the indirect haemagglutination test.

N2  - To determine the infectivity of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts for cats, twenty 2-3 month old T. gondii-free cats in groups of 4 were inoculated orally with graded doses of oocysts estimated to contain 1, 10, 100, 1000 or 10 000 mouse infective oocysts of the VEG strain of T. gondii. Faeces of cats were examined for at least 35 days pi. All cats were killed, necropsied, their sera were tested for T. gondii antibodies, and tissues were bioassayed in mice. Based on bioassay and antibody production 4, 3 and 2 cats each inoculated with 10 000, 1000 and 100 oocysts, respectively, acquired T. gondii infection. Eight of these 9 cats shed oocysts with prepatent periods of 18-44 days; the patent periods were 6-10 days and the number of oocysts shed varied between 7.3 and 162 million. None of the 8 cats inoculated with 1 or 10 oocysts acquired T. gondii infection. Antibodies to T. gondii were detected by the modified agglutination test in all 9 bioassay-proven T. gondii-infected cats; antibodies were not detected in the 11 cats without demonstrable T. gondii infection. In a series of other experiments, the age of the cat at the time of oocyst inoculation and the administration of corticosteroids were found to have no influence on the prepatent periods after inoculation with T. gondii (strain M-7741) oocysts.

N2  - The effects of the menstrual cycle on the thermic effect of feeding (TEF) and postprandial substrate oxidation were examined in a dose-response study on 8 young women to whom test meals containing 0, 1046, 2092 and 4148 kJ were administered on non-consecutive days, once each during the follicular phase and once during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Postprandial energy expenditure was examined until it returned to base line (test duration for the 0 kJ meal was matched to duration of 4184 kJ meal). There was no significant difference between menstrual cycle phases in the duration of the thermogenic response to any size meal. TEF, calculated by 4 different methods, did not differ between follicular and luteal phases, and a comparable dose-response was observed in both phases. Similarly, there was no effect of menstrual cycle phase on postabsorptive or postprandial protein, fat or carbohydrate oxidation.

N2  - Natural killer (NK) cell activity has been postulated to be an immunologic link between β-carotene and cancer prevention. In a cross-sectional, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, the effect of 10-12 years of β-carotene supplementation (50 mg on alternate days) on NK cell activity was examined in 59 (38 middle-aged men (51-64 years old) and 21 elderly men (65-86 years old)) participants in the Physicians' Health Study in Boston, USA. No significant difference was seen in NK cell activity due to β-carotene supplementation in the middle-aged group. Elderly men had significantly decreased NK cell activity compared with middle-aged men; however, there was no age-associated difference in NK cell activity in men supplemented with β-carotene. β-Carotene-supplemented elderly men had significantly increased NK cell activity than elderly men receiving placebo. The reason for this was uncertain; however, it was not due to an increase in the percentage of NK cells, or to an increase in interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor expression, or to IL-2 production. It was suggested that β-carotene may have been acting directly on one or more of the lytic stages of NK cell cytotoxicity, or on NK cell activity-enhancing cytokines other than IL-2, such as IL-12. It was concluded that long-term β-carotene supplementation enhanced NK cell activity in elderly men, which may be beneficial for viral and tumoral surveillance.

N2  - The kinetic changes responsible for decreased plasma albumin and the relation between plasma albumin and the oedema of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) were examined by estimating the plasma concentration, fractional (FSR) and intravascular absolute (ASR) synthesis rates of albumin in 7 oedematous and 7 nonedematous Jamaican children with PEM by using constant intragastric infusions of [²H3]leucine. Examinations were carried out 2 days post-admission (study 1), 8 days post-admission (study 2) and at recovery (study 3). In study 1, there were no significant differences in plasma albumin concentrations in nonedematous and oedematous children. In both groups, albumin concentrations but not FSRs were decreased in studies 1 and 2 compared with study 3. The ASR was decreased only in oedematous patients. Results suggest that repletion of the albumin pool of children with PEM is not mediated by changes in the FSR, and the oedema of malnutrition is not solely due to hypoalbuminaemia.

N2  - Recent US Department of Agriculture surveys point out several shortcomings in children's diet. The share of energy from total and saturated fat averaged 4 and 3 percentage points, respectively, above the recommendations. Sodium intake averaged 23% above the 2400 mg recommended by some authorities. These dietary problems start early in childhood and continue into adulthood. Additionally, only a small fraction of female adolescents met the recommended intakes for calcium, fibre and iron. Compared with home foods, away-from-home foods were higher in total and saturated fat and lower in cholesterol, fibre, Ca, Fe and Na. With increasing popularity in dining out, efforts to improve children's diets may need strengthening.

N2  - 747 subjects, 67-96 years old, completed usable food frequency questionnaires and had blood concentrations of B vitamins and homocysteine measured. Percentages of this elderly population with folate intake below 400 µg/day were projected to decrease from 66% at baseline to 49% with 140 µg of folate per 100 g of cereal-grain product, to 32% with 280 µg, to 26% with 350 µg, and to 11% with 700 µg. Percentages with elevated homocysteine concentrations (&gt;14 µmol/litre) were projected to decrease from 26% at baseline to 21% with 140 µg of folate per 100 g, to 17% with 280 µg, to 16% with 350 µg, and to 12% with 700 µg. Without fortification, the prevalence of combined high folate intake (&gt;1000 µg/day) and low plasma vitamin B12 concentration (&lt;185 pmol/litre) was 0.1%. This was projected to increase to 0.4% with folate fortification levels of 140-350 µg/100 g and to 3.4% with 700 µg. The evidence suggests that, at the level of 140 µg/100 g of cereal-grain product mandated by the US Food and Drug Administration, the benefits of folate fortification, through projected decreases in homocysteine level and heart disease risk, greatly outweigh the expected risks. However, quantification of the actual risks associated with vitamin B12 deficiency remains elusive.

N2  - Shigella causes foodborne gastrointestinal illness; however, little information is available on its ability to grow in foods. Commercially available sterile foods (UHT milk, beef broth, chicken broth, vegetable broth, meats, vegetables) were inoculated with S. flexneri 5348 and incubated at 12, 15, 19, 28 or 37°C. Growth curves were fitted from plate count data by the Gompertz equation and exponential growth rates, generation times, lag times and maximum population densities were derived. The observed kinetics values, expressed as T1000 (time, h, required for a 3 log increase in bacterial population), were compared with values calculated using published growth models. Observed and calculated values compared favourably for growth at 19-37°C. S. flexneri grew well in milk at 15-37°C but growth at 12°C was variable. The bacteria readily grew in most foods, even at 12°C; but died off in carrots at 19 and 28°C. Factors other than those used in the growth model may influence bacterial growth in specific foods.

N2  - Cattle bloods containing only polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-detectable bluetongue-10 viral nucleic acid, but as determined by virus isolation techniques, not bluetongue-10 virus, were incapable of infecting intrathoracically inoculated C. variipennis sonorensis. These insects also failed to transmit bluetongue-10 virus when fed on sheep. Cattle whose blood contain only PCR-detectable bluetongue viral nucleic acid, but no infectious virus, are unlikely to play a role in the epidemiology of bluetongue. The biological significance of PCR-based detection assays and their effect on animal health regulations on the international trade of livestock and livestock germplasm is discussed. Bluetongue virus infection provides a very useful model with which to study arthropod-transmitted RNA virus infections of humans and other animals.

N2  - The authors compared rates of feeding on human hosts for blood-engorged female A. quadrimaculatus species A, B and C1 collected from daytime resting sites in Manatee Springs State Park, Levy County, Florida, USA, during 1992-93. Quick-blot DNA probes were used to identify mosquito taxa and also the presence of human blood in the mosquito gut. In collections from a campground area, human blood-feeding rates differed significantly among mosquito species (10.7% (19 of 177), 0% (0 of 62) and 1.2% (4 of 327), respectively, for species A, B and C1). In collections from a woodland site (1 km from the campground), 1.5% (2 of 129) of the species B females had fed on humans, whereas none of 19 species A or 159 species C1 females had done so. Of the 3 species in this study area, species A appears the most likely to be a biting pest of humans and a vector of human malaria.

N2  - The effect of nixtamalization, the process by which masa flour is produced by alkaline hydrolysis of maize, on the organ-specific toxicity of F. moniliforme [Gibberella fujikuroi] culture material containing fumonisin B1 (FB1) was studied and the effectiveness of nixtamalization and water extraction for detoxifying culture material was compared. Male rats (n=10/group) were fed diets containing 5% culture material equivalent weights of nixtamalized culture material (NX diet) providing 58 p.p.m. hydrolysed FB1 but no FB1, water-extracted culture material (WE diet) providing 8 p.p.m. FB1, or untreated culture material (CM diet) providing 71 p.p.m. FB1, for 4 wk. An additional control group was fed a diet containing sound seed maize. Serum chemical and histopathological findings confirmed that the nixtamalized culture material was hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic. Hepatopathy was found in all rats fed the NX or CM diets. The lesions were qualitatively similar in these 2 groups, but were noticeably less severe in rats fed the NX diet. In contrast, only 1 rat fed the WE diet exhibited mild hepatopathy. Mild-to-moderate nephropathy resembling that induced by FB1 was found in all rats fed the NX, WE or CM diet. The organ-specific effects of nixtamalized culture material, containing no detectable FB1, were similar to those of the FB1-containing diet prepared from untreated culture material. Furthermore, nixtamalization was not as effective as water extraction as a detoxification method.

N2  - The effects of 2 National Cholesterol Education Programme (NCEP) Step 2 diets (≤30% of energy as total fat, &lt;7% of energy as saturated fat and &lt;200 mg cholesterol/day), 1 relatively high and the other relatively low in fish-derived fatty acids, on plasma lipoprotein concentrations and blood pressure were compared in 22 men and women with a mean (±s.d.) age of 63±10 years old. Subjects were placed on a baseline diet similar to the diet currently consumed in the USA (35% of energy as total fat, 14% of energy as saturated fat and 35 mg cholesterol/MJ) for 6 weeks and then on an NCEP Step 2 diet relatively high in fish (Step 2 high-fish, n=11) or relatively low in fish (Step 2 low-fish, n=11) for 24 weeks. All food and drinks were provided. Compared with baseline values, consumption of both the Step 2 high-fish and the Step 2 low-fish diets under weight-stable conditions was associated with significant decreases in plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (-14 and -19%, respectively), LDL-cholesterol (-15 and -20%, respectively) and HDL-cholesterol (-11 and -17%, respectively). Postprandial, but not fasting, triacylglycerol concentrations were significantly reduced during consumption of the Step 2 high-fish diet. There were no significant changes in these indexes after consumption of the Step 2 low-fish diet compared with the baseline diet. LDL particle size decreased significantly (-12%) only in subjects fed on the Step 2 low-fish diet. Both Step 2 diets caused small but significant reductions in diastolic blood pressure. Results indicate that NCEP Step 2 diets relatively high or relatively low in fish are both effective in significantly reducing total and LDL-cholesterol concentrations without changes in the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol under controlled weight-stable conditions in middle-aged and elderly subjects. A beneficial effect on diastolic blood pressure was also observed.

N2  - The effect of marine- and plant-derived n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on T cell-mediated immune response was studied in cynomolgus monkeys. Monkeys were first fed on a 14-week baseline diet; 10 monkeys were then fed on diets containing 1.3 or 3.3% of energy as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) while the other 10 were fed on diets containing 3.5 or 5.3% of energy as α-linolenic acid (ALA) for 2 consecutive 14-week periods. Both diets significantly decreased the percentage of T cells (except 1.3% EPA + DHA), T helper cells (except 1.3% EPA + DHA and 3.5% ALA) and T suppressor cells. Proliferative response of lymphocytes to T cell mitogens significantly increased after the diet containing 3.3% EPA + DHA. Interleukin 2 production significantly increased after the diets containing 1.3% and 3.3% EPA + DHA. No significant changes in mitogenic response or interleukin 2 production were found after ALA diets. Feeding 1.3 or 3.3% EPA + DHA or 5.3% ALA significantly suppressed prostaglandin E2 production in response to T cell mitogens. Plasma tocopherol concentrations were decreased significantly only in monkeys fed on ALA diets. It is concluded that after adjustment for tocopherol concentration, marine-derived n-3 PUFAs but not plant-derived n-3 PUFAs increased T cell-mediated mitogenic response and interleukin 2 production. This is most likely due to diet-induced quantitative differences in cellular fatty acid composition and, thus, in prostaglandin E2 production and tocopherol status.

N2  - Sprague-Dawley rats were used to investigate the effects of type of dietary carbohydrates (CHO), copper and ethanol consumption on lung antioxidant enzyme activities and levels of phosphorylated compounds in whole blood. Cu-deficient female rats exhibited a greater degree of Cu deficiency than males, as assessed by hepatic Cu concentration and hepatic Cu superoxide dismutase (CuSOD) activity. However, Cu-deficient male rats fed on fructose-containing diets exhibited greater growth retardation, anaemia and heart hypertrophy than females consuming the same diets and males fed on starch. In addition, 1 of 10 Cu-deficient male rats that ate a fructose-based diet and drank water and 1 of 10 Cu-deficient male rats that ate a starch-based diet and drank ethanol died. CU-deficient, starch-fed males exhibited the highest activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase compared with fructose-fed rats. Ethanol consumption elevated the activities of GSH-Px and catalase. Cu-deficient female rats exhibited higher catalase but lower GSH-Px activities than males. It is suggested that in Cu deficiency, the ability to increase antioxidant enzyme activities in rats consuming starch is greater than in rats consuming fructose. Rats fed on starch are provided with a greater degree of protection against oxidative damage than rats fed on fructose. In addition, polyphosphorylated compounds in blood were reduced in Cu-deficient male rats that consumed fructose-based diets. This may impair supply of oxygen to tissues.

N2  - The nutritional value or quality of structurally different proteins varies and is governed by amino acid composition, ratios of essential amino acids, susceptibility to hydrolysis during digestion, source and the effects of processing. To optimize the biological utilization of proteins, a better understanding is needed of the various interrelated parameters that influence their nutritive value. This review attempts to contribute to this effort. It discusses methods used for protein quality evaluation, research needs to facilitate labelling foods for protein quality and factors influencing protein quality including amino acid analysis, digestion, food processing, antinutrients and protein-energy relationships. Recent studies on the nutritional quality of more than 50 common and uncommon protein sources including cereals, legumes, other seeds, meat, seafood, insects, leaves, mushrooms and potatoes are reviewed. Also described are advantages of consuming low-quality proteins fortified with essential amino acids, nutritional benefits of mixtures of complementary protein sources, plant genetic approaches to improving the nutritive value of foods, problems associated with liquid diets for adults and infants, socioeconomic aspects of new protein foods and the influence of protein type and quality on lactation, the immune system and serum lipids. This integrated overview is intended to stimulate interest in the introduction and use of new protein sources for feeding the ever-growing world population.

N2  - In 1982, 22 071 male physicians the Boston area, USA were assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (aspirin alone 325 mg, β-carotene alone 50 mg, both or neither) every other day. Plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MCs) and red blood cells (RBCs) from physicians who participated in the study for about 12 years were analysed for carotenoids and tocopherols. Compared with the placebo group, the supplemented group had higher β-carotene concentrations in plasma (1.73±0.16 compared with 0.54±0.06 µmol/litre), RBCs (91.5±9.7 compared with 31.2±4.2 pmol/g haemoglobin) and PBMCs (61.6±10.3 compared with 15.5±2.5 pmol/107 cells). There were no differences in other carotenoids or tocopherols in plasma, RBCs and PBMCs between these 2 groups. The β-carotene-supplemented group had higher total carotenoids only in plasma. In both supplemented and placebo groups, plasma β-carotene significantly correlated with both RBC and PBMC β-carotene concentrations. Plasma cryptoxanthin correlated with both RBC and PBMC cryptoxanthin concentrations but plasma lycopene correlated only with PBMC lycopene concentrations. Data suggest that plasma may not be the best indicator of carotenoid status. Furthermore, long-term β-carotene supplementation in men results in higher β-carotene concentrations in plasma, RBCs and PBMCS without lowering concentrations of other carotenoids or tocopherols.

N2  - The accuracy and precision of 4 food intake assessment methods were evaluated in women by comparing reported energy intakes with doubly labelled water measurements total energy expenditure (TEE). A study lasting 8 days was conducted in 10 young women 25.2±1.1 (mean±s.e.m.) and in 10 older women 74.0±1.4 years old. Free-living TEE was measured over 7 days and food consumption was estimated from weighed food intake data (7 day), a 24-h food recall (in duplicate) and 2 food-frequency questionnaires (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC)/Block and Willett, both in duplicate). In addition, body composition was estimated by using hydrodensitometry, and strenuous physical activity and the extent of dietary restraint were estimated by questionnaire. In young women, 24-h recall gave mean energy intakes that were closet to measures of TEE (-0.34±3.71 MJ/day compared with TEE, P=0.178), and energy intakes by food-frequency questionnaires were the only intake data that correlated with individual values for TEE (P&lt;0.05). In older women, food-frequency questionnaires gave mean energy intakes that were closet to measured TEE (+0.53±2.95 with the Willett questionnaire and -1.19±3.02 MJ/day with the FHCRC/Block questionnaire). No energy intake data from this group correlated significantly with values for TEE. The 7-day weighed dietary intakes were significantly lower than measured TEE in both young and older women (-2.0 MJ/d in young and older women combined, P&lt;0.001), and did not correlate significantly with values for TEE, although they did most closely mirror the mean difference in TEE between the young and older women (2.30 for TEE and 2.11 MJ/day for 7-day weighed intake). It is suggested that none of the methods studied gave accurate estimates of the usual energy requirements of individual subjects. In addition, results suggest that for some types of studies, simple methods for assessing group mean dietary intake may actually give more accurate information than weighed dietary intakes.

N2  - Calcium absorption was evaluated in 11 girls 11.6±2.4 years old after 10 days on both a low-Ca (7.05±2.03) and a high-Ca (35.30±2.28 mmol/day) diet. Fractional Ca absorption was estimated by using oral 46Ca and intravenous 42Ca stable isotopes. During a low Ca intake, fractional Ca absorption was greater (0.582±0.087 vs. 0.260±0.068, P&lt;0.0001) and urinary Ca excretion was lower (1.30±0.83 vs. 3.08±1.98 mmol/day, P&lt;0.004) than values obtained during a high Ca intake. Concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (combination of cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol) were greater during the low Ca intake, although the difference was not significant (108.7±30.6 vs. 90.0±25.1 pmol/litre, P&lt;0.1; n=9). Excretion of N-telopeptide was greater during the low Ca intake (761±508 vs. 413±341 nmol bone collagen equivalent (BCM)/mmol creatinine, P&lt;0.02; n=9), indicating that bone resorption was increased. Results suggest that during short periods of inadequate Ca intake, girls are able to significantly increase the efficiency of Ca absorption and decrease urinary Ca losses to conserve Ca required for bone mineral acquisition.

N2  - Inositol phosphate profiles and the effects of household cooking, according to packet directions, were examined in 14 varieties of dried legumes. The predominant inositol phosphate in dried legumes was phytic acid (IP6), its relative content ranged from 77% in chickpeas [cicer arietinum] (6 mmol/kg) to 88% in black beans [phaseolus vulgaris] (14.2 mmol/kg), accounting for an average of 83% of total inositol phosphates. Inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4) and inositol pentakisphosphate (IP5) concentrations were, on average, 0.26 mmol/kg or 1% of the total and 1.9 mmol/kg or 16% of the total, respectively. A low concentration of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) was detected in dry lentils (0.3 mmol/kg). Cooking significantly decreased the amount of IP6 (on average, 68% of total inositol phosphates) and significantly increased the amounts of IP4 and IP5 (7% and 25% respectively, on average of total inositol phosphates). Measurable concentrations of IP3 were noted in all cooked, dried legumes. There was no difference in the total amount of inositol phosphates in dried and cooked legumes.The results suggest that the adverse effects of inositol phosphates on mineral utilization may be decreased by cooking.

N2  - The effects of replacing corn oil with corn oil margarine in stick form on endogenous cholesterol synthesis and susceptibility of LDL to oxidation were assessed in 14 middle-aged and elderly men and women 63±12 years old (mean±s.d.) with moderate hypercholesterolaemia (mean LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), 4.24±0.59 mmol/litre). Subjects consumed each of 2 diets for 32-days, 1 enriched in corn oil, which contained 30% of energy as fat (7% saturated fatty acid (SFA), 9% monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) (0.4% 18:1n9 trans) and 11% polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)) and cholesterol 85 mg/4.2 MJ, and 1 enriched in stick corn oil margarine, which contained 30% fat (8% SFA, 12% MUFA (4.2% 18:1n9 trans) and 8% PUFA) and cholesterol 77 mg/4.2 MJ. Both diets were isoenergetic. Mean total cholesterol levels were lowest (P=0.039) when subjects consumed the corn oil-enriched diet (5.01±0.51) as compared with the margarine-enriched diet (5.30±0.58 mmol/litre). LDL-C levels were 3.24±0.51 and 3.50±0.54 mmol/litre when subjects consumed corn oil- and margarine-enriched diets, respectively (P=0.058). There were no significant differences in HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) or triglyceride concentrations between the 2 experimental periods. Consumption of the margarine- versus the corn oil-enriched diet tended to result in lower cholesterol fractional synthetic rates (0.0466±0.0175 and 0.0668±0.0298, respectively, P=0.080) and cholesterol absolute synthetic rates (1.1761±0.5375 and 1.6954±0.8685, respectively, P=0.092); however, differences did not reach significance. Consumption of the margarine- versus the corn oil-enriched diet resulted in a higher concentration of α-tocopherol in both plasma and LDL (P=0.004 and P=0.011, respectively). LDL particle size tended to be smaller after subjects consumed the margarine- versus the corn oil-enriched diet (P=0.103). Susceptibility of LDL to oxidation was similar after consumption of both diets. Data suggest that an increased rate of endogenous cholesterol synthesis did not contribute to the higher plasma cholesterol concentrations during the margarine-enriched diet. Therefore, the increase in cholesterol concentration resulting from margarine consumption was likely attributable, at least in part, to a decreased catabolic rate of cholesterol. Additionally, susceptibility of LDL to in vitro oxidation was not altered by consumption of hydrogenated fat.

N2  - A 2 × 2 factorially arranged study used groups of 9 weanling Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed on a standard diet with 1 of 2 dietary variables: nickel, as hydrated nickel chloride, 0 or 1 µg/g diet and folic acid 0 or 2 mg/kg diet. The standard diet contained Ni &lt;20 ng/g. After 54 days, folate deprivation decreased erythrocyte folate while folate supplementation in the Ni-supplemented rats caused a greater increase in erythrocyte folate concentration compared with folate supplementation to the Ni-deprived rats. Dietary Ni affected several plasma amino acids important in one-carbon metabolism (e.g., Ni deprivation increased the plasma concentrations of glycine and serine). Results show that dietary Ni, folate and their interaction can affect variables associated with one-carbon metabolism.

N2  - The adaptive responses of body protein metabolism in the fed state to dietary protein restriction were studied in lactating women to determine whether rates of body protein degradation and synthesis were lower than those of nonlactating women. 13 women (5 lactating, 4 nonlactating postpartum, 4 nulliparous) 28-32 years old were given protein intakes of 1.5, 0.4 and 1.0 g/kg daily over 3 consecutive 3-day periods, respectively. At the end of each period, while in the fed state, subjects received orally a single bolus dose of [1-13C]leucine. A 24-h urine collection was obtained simultaneously. Whole-body protein metabolism was characterized by using the end product model based on nitrogen excretion and leucine catabolism. N flux and rates of protein degradation and synthesis in the fed state were significantly lower at a dietary protein intake of 1.0 g/kg daily in lactating women than in their nonlactating postpartum counterparts. Net protein retention in the fed state was significantly higher at a dietary protein intake of 1.0 g/kg daily in lactating than in nonlactating postpartum and nulliparous women because of the relatively greater reduction in protein degradation than in protein synthesis. It is suggested that lactating women rapidly adapt to dietary protein restriction by down-regulating protein metabolism, and that 13C-labelled amino acid tracers in combination with urinary N excretion serve as useful metabolic markets for the adequacy of the dietary protein content of lactating women.

N2  - The effects of an equal-energetic substitution of ethanol for dietary carbohydrate in high- and low-fat diets on energy expenditure and body composition were investigated. Subjects (32 women and 16 men) maintained their weights and consumed only food and drink provided by the US Department of Agriculture Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center's Diet Study Facility. Subjects were divided equally into 2 groups and consumed a high- or low-fat diet for 16 weeks. The feeding period was divided into 2 8-week periods during which ethanol or carbohydrate was added to the diet (5% of total daily energy intake (in a crossover design)). The metabolizable energy content of the diets (with supplements) was estimated for all subjects through measurement of total food intake and faecal and urinary losses for 7 days during both 8-week periods. Energy expenditure, measured for 24 h in a room calorimeter at the end of each 8-week period was the same for both periods. Metabolizable energy intake and changes in total-body energy content were used to calculate the total amount of energy expended by each subject for 7 weeks during each 8-week period. Total energy expenditure for 7 weeks was the same when subjects consumed ethanol or carbohydrate. These data are consistent with the efficiency of use of alcohol for maintenance of metabolisable energy being the same as that for carbohydrate.

N2  - 36 men received chromium supplementation (3.3-3.5 µmol/day as chromium chloride or chromium picolinate) or placebo (0.1 µmol Cr) for 8 weeks in a double-blind trial and followed a controlled resistance training programme. Strength, mesomorphy, fat-free mass and muscle mass increased with resistance training independently of Cr supplementation (P&lt;0.0001). Protein, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron intakes equalled or exceeded the recommended dietary intake (ESADDI) during training and did not change significantly from pretraining intakes. Cr supplementation increased serum Cr concentration and urinary Cr excretion without a difference as a result of the chemical form of Cr (P&lt;0.05) in serum ferritin, total-Fe-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, the ratio of enzymatic to immunoreactive ceruloplasmin and plasma Cu, independently of Cr supplementation. However, transferrin saturation was decreased more with chromium picolinate supplementation (24%) than with chromium chloride or placebo (10-13%). Compared with pretraining values, urinary Mg excretion increased (P&lt;0.05) and urinary Zn output tended to decrease during the first 4 weeks of resistance training and then returned to baseline values for the final 4 weeks, which suggests an adaptation in mineral excretion in response to weight training. These findings suggest that routine Cr supplementation has no beneficial effects on body-composition change or strength gain in men.

N2  - This report by the US Department of Agriculture considers new data on pesticide residues, food consumption and pesticide use which reveal the sources of consumers' dietary intake of pesticide residues and the benefits of research to develop safer alternatives to pesticide use. Consumers' dietary intake comes from 4 sources: on-farm pesticide use, post-harvest pesticide use, pesticides used on imported foods and cancelled pesticides that persist in the environment. Post-harvest uses account for the largest share of dietary intake of residues, but cancelled and persistent chemicals are among the highest risk indicators. Thus, research to develop on-farm pest control alternatives will not address all of the sources of these residues. While most pesticide uses do not result in detectable residues, higher levels of use result in higher residues. The geographic source of residues can be identified.

N2  - Plasma carotenoid responses were determined in 36 healthy men and women before and after being fed controlled diets with a moderate amount of fat (26% of total energy) and a high carotenoid content (~16 mg/day) for two 15-day periods. In addition, broccoli (205 g/day) was provided during the first or the second 15-day residency period in a crossover design. Plasma was digested with lipase and cholesterol esterase and carotenoids were extracted and measured by HPLC. 3 oxygenated carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin), 3 hydrocarbon carotenoids (α-carotene, all-trans-β-carotene and 13-cis-β-carotene) and 4 geometric isomers of lycopene (15-cis-, 13-cis-, 9-cis- and all-trans-lycopene) were separated by using a C30 carotenoid column. A small unidentified peak coeluted with standard 9-cis-β-carotene and was identified as ζ-carotene (λmax= 400 nm). The concentrations of plasma lutein, cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, 13-cis-β-carotene, all-trans-β-carotene and cis- and trans-lycopenes were all significantly increased on days 6-16 by the high-fruit and -vegetable diets. The provision of additional broccoli for 5 days to the basic high-carotenoid diet resulted in a further significant increase in the serum concentration of lutein compared with the feeding of the basic high-carotenoid diet alone. Most of the measurable carotenoids of human plasma can be increased by moderate alterations in diet within a short time, although the magnitude of the plasma response may be related to the baseline carotenoid concentrations.

N2  - The effect of gastric acidity on the blood response to a single dose of β-carotene 120 mg was investigated in 5 women and 7 men aged 23-68 years. Omeprazole was used for 7 days to obliterate gastric acid secretion and to increase gastric pH to &gt;4.5. In a crossover design, 6 subjects were randomly assigned to take β-carotene with omeprazole at the beginning (day 9) or at the end (day 26) of the study. The β-carotene response in blood was not altered by the experimental order. Results from the high-gastric-pH phase (with omeprazole) were analysed together and compared with the results from the low-gastric-pH phase (without omeprazole). The increases of serum concentrations of transβ-carotene and cisβ-carotene 6 and 24 h after the β-carotene dose were significantly greater at a low gastric pH (1.3±0.1) than those at a high gastric pH (6.4±0.3). Similarly, 24 h after β-carotene administration, the area under the blood β-carotene response curve (trans plus cisβ-carotene) was significantly greater at a low gastric pH (6825±760 nmol h-1 litre-1) than at a high gastric pH (3390±550 nmol h-1 litre-1). In investigations of bacterial overgrowth, gelatin capsule disintegration and isomeric profiles associated with high and low pH, the factors required to explain the differences observed in the blood response curves between low- and high-gastric-pH conditions could not be identified. A suppressed blood response of β-carotene at a high intraluminal pH may have been due to the slower movement of negatively charged micelles through the unstirred water layer and cell membrane.

N2  - Meat products that were exposed to a warehouse fire were collected and examined to identify contaminants present in the samples. An extraction method using supercritical carbon dioxide at 100 atm and 60°C was developed to analyse and characterize volatile and semi-volatile compounds from the samples. The major volatile compounds were lipid oxidation products, such as hexanal and nonanal. Concentrations of volatiles from fire-exposed meat products were compared with control samples to determine compositional differences. Aromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were identified, and naphthalene was measured in suspected fire-damaged meat products. Direct supercritical extraction from the meat samples proved to be a rapid and reproducible method to assess contamination in commercial meat products.

N2  - The effect of dietary starch type on components of 24-h energy expenditure (total, sleep, exercise) were examined in 13 hyperinsulinaemic and 9 control men (28-58 years old). Subjects consumed products containing 70% amylopectin or 70% amylose maize starch for two 14-week periods in a crossover design. A 10-week period of starch replacement in the subjects' self-selected diets was followed by a 4-week controlled feeding period at 100% maintenance energy intake; diets during the last 4 days of the controlled feeding period provided excess energy, i.e. 125% of maintenance energy. Data for insulin, glucose, 24-h energy expenditure and its components, respiratory quotient and nutrient oxidation were analysed by ANOVA for mixed models. Although insulin and glucose responses to a starch tolerance test remained increased for hyperinsulinaemic compared with control subjects, both were decreased with high amylose consumption (P&lt;0.04). No component of energy expenditure was significantly affected by dietary starch or subject type. However, excess energy intake did increase metabolic energy expenditure (P&lt;0.0001). Protein oxidation increased with excess energy intake when subjects consumed the high amylopectin starch but did not increase in response to excess energy consumption when the high amylose diet was consumed, suggesting increased protein retention. Magnitude of the response in carbohydrate and fat oxidation was blunted in hyperinsulinaemic subjects consuming excess levels of the amylose diet. It was suggested that this may have been due to an improvement in overall insulin response or to a change in available substrates for oxidation resulting from microbial fermentation.

N2  - Five pregnant queens were inoculated orally with Toxoplasma gondii tissue cysts. 22 live and 3 dead kittens were born 16 to 31 days after inoculation. 21 kittens that died or were killed on day 2 (2 kittens), 4 (1 kitten), 5 (5 kittens), 6 (5 kittens), 7 (1 kitten), 8 (4 kittens), 16 (2 kittens) and 29 (1 kitten) after birth were studied histologically. T. gondii was detected by bioassay and was seen in sections of tissues from all 21 kittens. The histological lesions associated with neonatal toxoplasmosis were widely disseminated infiltrates of macrophages and neutrophils often accompanied by necrosis; lymphocytes and plasma cells were occasionally present. The most consistent lesions were proliferative interstitial pneumonia (21/21); necrotizing hepatitis (20/21); myocarditis (21/21); skeletal myositis (21/21); glossal myositis (19/19); non-suppurative encephalitis affecting the cerebrum (18/18), brain stem (15/15), and spinal cord (9/9); uveitis (19/19); necrotizing adrenal adenitis (19/18); and interstitial nephritis (16/21). Placental lesions (2/2) consisted of grossly visible areas of necrosis and mineralization.

N2  - The ability of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes to proliferate and produce interferon-γin vitro in response to mitogens or interleukin-2 was investigated in 4-week-old calves. It was found that they had similar mitogen-induced blastogenic responses and produced interferon-γ like the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 4-week-old calves. Previous studies indicated that the intraepithelial lymphocytes also responded to Cryptosporidium parvum antigen in vitro. It is suggested that intraepithelial lymphocytes may be important in the host's response to enteric infections of calves such as cryptosporidiosis.

N2  - The metabolic clearance of chicken insulin-like growth factor-I (cIGF-I), cIGF-II, human IGF-I (hIGF-I), and hIGF-II was examined in the chicken using 125I-labelled growth factors. It is concluded that the clearance of IGFs from the compartments identified in blood and the potential target tissues is dependent on their interactions with IGF-binding proteins and receptors.

N2  - The usefulness of determining halofuginone (Hal) in chicken serum was evaluated with a competitive ELISA (cELISA). A modification of a previously developed HPLC method was used to validate the cELISA analysis of Hal in chicken serum. The sensitivity of the cELISA method improved when used in more concentrated serum. The chicken serum samples were evaluated by cELISA using a standard curve obtained in control chicken serum diluted two-fold with assay buffer. Incurred levels of Hal in broiler chickens fed Hal-hydrobromide-treated feed were detected in serum at withdrawal times of 2 and 6 h. At and after 24 h, the residues were not detected by immunoassay with a detection limit of 0.52 ppb or by HPLC with detection limit of 0.86 ppb. The instability of Hal in acidified serum and its potential for methanolysis in the HPLC method were overcome by using the cELISA methodology. Although the determination of Hal in chicken serum by immunoassay is fast, requiring no clean-up steps, chicken serum cannot be used to determine the required 4-day withdrawal time in broiler chickens because of the lack of residues in the serum at and after 24 h.

AB  - Abstract: Phylogeny is fundamental as it constrains explanations about history and forms our foundation for recognizing and diagnosing species. In the absence of such a framework taxonomists historically relied on intuitive processes, personal judgment and authority, often embracing a typological view of species that disregarded otherwise unequivocal historical and biological criteria. Species of Taenia are among the most characteristic tapeworms infecting carnivores and humans as definitive hosts and indeed Taeniidae is unique among the Eucestoda in requiring 2 obligate mammalian hosts for transmission; a high percentage (>80%) of life cycles have been completely elucidated among the approximately 45 species and nominal subspecies of Taenia. Until recently there had been no comprehensive attempts at reconstruction of a phylogeny among these important parasites. Such analyses have allowed us to explore the origins and evolution of those independent species of Taenia that occur in humans (T. saginata, T. asiatica, and T. solium) and to understand the ecological and historical processes serving as determinants of biogeography and host-association. These studies supported the status of T. asiatica as a valid species and diagnosed a relationship as the sister-species of T. saginata. These conclusions contrasted with a diversity of opinions that would subsume T. asiatica as a subspecies. Recognition of a species constitutes a specific and testable hypothesis, is not an arbitrary decision and is most appropriately assessed in the context of phylogenetic or historical data. Considering macrospecies, a process has been outlined by Brooks and McLennan [Brooks DR, McLennan DA. The nature of diversity: an evolutionary voyage of discovery. University of Chicago Press: Chicago; 2002] as follows: (1) Discovery: a systematist describes the species; (2) Phylogenetic reconstruction; (3) Evaluation I: do sister-species show geographical overlap—are they sympatric or allopatric (use phylogeny+geographical distributions)? (4) Evaluation II: are sister-species reproductively isolated based on information from natural history, ecology and reproductive biology? Species may be viewed in the context of microevolutionary and macroevolutionary processes. For instance, microspecies are defined in ecological time and involve populations and contemporary process that are potentially reversible (reticulate). In contrast, macrospecies as exemplified by T. saginata and T. asiatica are divergent lineages resulting from processes in evolutionary time where an ancestor has undergone a permanent split that is non-reversible (non-reticulate). Applying these criteria in evaluation of T. saginata and T. asiatica, it becomes clear that in evolutionary time these represent historical lineages with independent spatial and temporal trajectories, having separated from a common ancestor near 0.78 to 1.71 MYBP in Africa, or Eurasia. In ecological time, sympatry, reproductive isolation, and differences in life history evident for T. saginata and T. asiatica as observed in China, and perhaps other regions of Southeast Asia, further serve to validate these taeniids.

AB  - Abstract: We performed global structural optimization using a genetic algorithm in combination with tight-binding and first-principles calculations to study the structures of the magic clusters on the Si(111) 7×7 surface. Our calculations show that the magic cluster observed in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiment [I.S. Hwang, M.S. Ho, T.T. Tsong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 (1999) 120] consists of eight Si atoms on the faulted half of the Si(111) 7×7 surface. Simulated STM images of our Si magic cluster exhibit a ring-like feature similar to STM experiments.

Evidence from human and animal studies indicates that glutamate is a major oxidative fuel for the gut and that dietary glutamate is extensively metabolized in first pass by the intestine. Glutamate also is an important precursor for bioactive molecules, including glutathione, and functions as a key neurotransmitter. The dominant role of glutamate as an oxidative fuel may have therapeutic potential for improving function of the infant gut, which exhibits a high rate of epithelial cell turnover. Our recent studies in infant pigs show that when glutamate is fed at higher (4-fold) than normal dietary quantities, most glutamate molecules are either oxidized or metabolized by the mucosa into other nonessential amino acids. Glutamate is not considered to be a dietary essential, but recent studies suggest that the level of glutamate in the diet can affect the oxidation of some essential amino acids, namely leucine. Given that substantial oxidation of leucine occurs in the gut, ongoing studies are investigating whether dietary glutamate affects the oxidation of leucine in the intestinal epithelial cells. Our studies also suggest that at high dietary intakes, free glutamate may be absorbed by the stomach as well as the small intestine, thus implicating the gastric mucosa in the metabolism of dietary glutamate. Glutamate is a key excitatory amino acid, and metabolism and neural sensing of dietary glutamate in the developing gastric mucosa, which is poorly developed in premature infants, may play a functional role in gastric emptying. These and other recent reports raise the question as to the metabolic role of glutamate in gastric function. The physiologic significance of glutamate as an oxidative fuel and its potential role in gastric function during infancy are discussed. Copyright © 2009 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Aging results in the development of cognitive and motor deficits in humans and animals that are evident by midlife. These deficits are thought to stem from neuronal damage and dysfunction as a result of a variety of stressors, including increased oxidative stress and modifications in brain lipid composition. Recent clinical and animal studies have identified nutritional intervention as a viable method to curtail the cognitive aging process. Human studies have been primarily observational and have indicated that inclusion of antioxidant-rich foods in the diet can slow the progression of cognitive decline. Basic science studies investigating nutritional modulation of age-related cognitive decline have focused on foods rich in antioxidants or essential fatty acids. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent advancements in animal research showing that age-related cognitive and behavioral decline can be ameliorated with nutritional supplementation with polyphenol- or polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich plant foods.

N2  - To determine whether patients with colon cancer metabolize β-carotene differently from benign colon polyp patients, a normal control group (n=13) and groups of resected colon polyp patients (n=29) or resected colon cancer patients (Dukes A and B1, n=21) were supplemented with placebo or β-carotene (30 mg/day) taken with their morning meals for three months. Serum samples at zero and three months of the study were analysed blindly for retinoic acid and β-carotene. The results showed that β-carotene levels in the serum of colon polyp and colon cancer groups were 8- to 12-fold higher than in the untreated control or the placebo-treated groups. The benign polyp subjects (n=17) receiving β-carotene showed a significant rise in serum trans-retinoic acid at three months compared with Time 0. The trans-retinoic acid values from the colon cancer group receiving β-carotene (n=11) or placebo (n=10) were significantly lower than the values from the β-carotene-supplemented colon polyp group. It appears that trans-retinoic acid levels in response to β-carotene supplementation are different between treated cancer and benign patients because of different body demands for retinoic acid.

N2  - The chemical and physical characteristics of 5 commercial zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) rodenticide baits were evaluated at selected intervals during 16 days of exposure to prevailing weather under simulated field conditions in Hawaii, USA, and laboratory feeding trials were conducted to assess the effects of weathering on the acceptance and toxicity of one of the baits to the rats Rattus norvegicus, R. rattus and R. exulans (caught in forests and fields near Hilo). In bait weatherability trials, the concentration of Zn3P2 declined most rapidly in an oat bait that was coated with this toxicant. The Zn3P2 incorporated into pelleted formulations was less susceptible to physical weathering. All baits softened as they absorbed moisture but, with the exception of Ridall-Zinc Field & Agricultural Bait, hardened again as they dried. Mold colonization was not apparent until after at least 4 days of exposure and occurred earlier and was more prevalent under wetter conditions. Hopkins Zinc Phosphide Pellets were the most durable in terms of retaining both their physical form and Zn3P2 concentration. Applying 2.5 cm of simulated rain (with or without drying) did not affect the consumption of 1.0 cm Hopkins Zinc Phosphide Pellets by R. rattus and R. exulans, but may have enhanced consumption by R. norvegicus. Mortality was similar among treatments for R. norvegicus and R. exulans, but was lower for R. rattus offered pellets that received added moisture. Mortality for all species and treatment groups was inadequate for operational control purposes.

N2  - A 4-ingredient (2 active and 2 inert) gas cartridge was tested in its ability to control gophers (Thomomys talpoides) in an oat and alfalfa [lucerne] hay field in Wellington, Larimer County, Colorado, USA, during September 1994. The reformulated rodent gas cartridge was jointly developed by the Denver Wildlife Research Center and Pocatello Supply Depot to replace the currently registered 8-ingredient gas cartridge. The reformulated cartridge contains sodium nitrate and charcoal as active ingredients, with Fuller's earth and borax as inert ingredients. When ignited, the active ingredients produce primarily carbon monoxide. 4 test areas (1 control and 3 fumigated) were randomly established with 15 sample plots (each 0.008 ha) on each test area. Active burrow systems were treated: (1) in the sample plots; (2) outside the sample plots but within each test area; and (3) in the buffer zone around each test area. Gopher activity on each plot was determined pre- and post-testing by an open-hole index. Although there was an increase in gopher activity on the control test area and declines of 7.1, 13.3 and 30.8% on the 3 test areas receiving the gas cartridges, the difference in activity was not statistically different (P=0.174). The 17.1% mean reduction in gopher activity in the fumigated test areas was substantially below the minimum standard efficacy of 70% established by the US Environmental Protection Agency for fumigants. This result was similar to 2 previous studies conducted with the original 8-ingredient gas cartridge for the control of gophers.

N2  - Three N-terminal amino acid residues of the C-terminal core pentapeptide Phe-X-Pro-Arg-Leu-NH2 (X = Gly, Ser, Thr, Val) of the pryokinin/PBAN insect neuropeptide family were replaced by nonpeptide moieties. To reestablish some of the conformational properties lost upon removal of the peptide bonds and Pro of the 3 amino acid residue block, carbocyclic Pro-mimetic components were incorporated into pseudodipeptide analogues. The most active analogue contained a trans-DL-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxyl carbocyclic component and proved to be over 3 orders of magnitude more potent than a simple, straight chain pseudodipeptide analogue and approached the potency of the pentapeptide core in a cockroach (Leucophaea maderae [Rhyparobia maderae]) hindgut myotropic bioassay. The pseudodipeptide analogue retains a critical carbonyl residue which can participate in a hydrogen bond that stabilizes a β-turn conformation in the active core region of the pyrokinin/PBAN peptides. This study demonstrates that knowledge of active conformation can be used to enhance the biological potency of pseudopeptide mimetic analogues of insect neuropeptides. The analogues represent a milestone in the development of pseudopeptide and nonpeptide mimetic analogs of this peptide family, which has been associated with such critical physiological processes as hindgut and oviduct contraction, pheromone biosynthesis, diapause induction, and induction of melanization and reddish colouration in a variety of insects. Mimetic analogues are potentially valuable tools to insect neuroendocrinologists studying these physiological processes and/or engaged in the development of future pest management strategies.

N2  - The head is traditionally considered to be the site of production and release of the egg development neurosecretory hormone (EDNH), involved in ovarian maturation in dipterans. It has been found, however, that the thorax and abdomen of the A. aegypti each possess factors which resemble EDNH in both physiological and biochemical properties. Extracts of thoraces or abdomens each stimulated the dose-dependent appearance of ecdysteroid in incubations of A. aegypti ovaries in vitro. In addition, each extract is capable of stimulating ovarian maturation in vivo in decapitated A. atropalpus. The head contains higher levels of activity, absolute and specific, than either the thorax or abdomen, but extracts of all 3 body portions yield similar chromatographic patterns of activity. Gonadotropic activity in all 3 extracts elutes in 2 molecular weight ranges, large (~6600-7700 MW) and small (~4150-4250 MW). In each tissue, the small molecular weight component is more active than the large component. The roles of these non-cerebral ecdysiotropins and gonadotropins are not clear, but their similarities to cerebral EDNH suggest a function in ovarian maturation.

N2  - In Florida, USA, collection size of 3 species of mosquitoes (Aedes taeniorhynchus, Anopheles atropos, and Culex nigripalpus) and a species of biting midge (Culicoides furens) in CDC-type traps baited with carbon dioxide and octenol were significantly increased with addition of heat. The presence of heat also significantly reduced collection size of the tabanid Diachlorus ferrugatus.

N2  - Oviposition responses of gravid A. albopictus and A. aegypti to natural organic infusions (hay infusion, larval rearing water and field-collected larval water) and compounds isolated from hay infusion (3-methylindole, 4-methylphenol, 4-ethylphenol, indole and phenol) known to elicit oviposition in Culex mosquitoes were evaluated. In laboratory bioassays, significant oviposition responses were obtained from A. albopictus, but not from A. aegypti, to dilutions of hay infusion and field water. Oviposition responses of both species were moderate to the synthetic compounds tested in the laboratory (0.01-100 µg/litre). Only 3-methylindole (0.1 µg/litre) and 4-ethylphenol (2.0 µg/litre) elicited significantly more oviposition by A. albopictus than did well water. Of the synthetic compounds tested with A. aegypti, only phenol (1.0 µg/litre) and 4-ethylphenol (0.1 µg/litre) elicited significantly more oviposition than did well water. Significant repellency or oviposition deterrence for both species occurred in response to at least one high concentration of most of the compounds tested. In field cage evaluations, oviposition responses by A. albopictus were strongest to larval water and field water, moderate to hay infusion and 3-methylindole (100 µg/litre), and low to well water. A mixture of 5 synthetic compounds mimicking hay infusion was no more effective than 3-methylindole alone. For A. aegypti, oviposition responses were greatest to larval water and least to 3-methylindole. In an olfactometer, gravid females of both species orientated more to field water than to well water and only A. albopictus oriented more to larval water or hay infusion than well water. In general, gravid A. albopictus responded more strongly to oviposition stimuli than did A. aegypti.

N2  - Open-field tests may be used for the host-specificity determination of insects used in the biological control of weeds. Such tests allow insects to exercise free choice of plants without constraints associated with the use of cages. Therefore, this testing method can generate host data on candidate biocontrol agents under more natural conditions than those obtained via cage tests. The literature contains 24 studies of open-field testing, involving 13 target weed species, more than 34 species of insects and one eriophyid mite. Field-test data were used to support the release of 20 of these candidate agents into new countries. Most field tests have been conducted in concert with laboratory host-specificity tests or in response to the results of laboratory tests. This review also provides information on experimental designs, locations, categories of test plants included and the constraints of open-field testing.

N2  - Data from a cross-sectional survey of 746 non-institutionalized, Boston-area (USA) elderly individuals (≥60 years old) were analysed to assess the relation between antioxidant nutrient intake and plasma antioxidant status. Intakes of vitamin C and carotenoids and supplemental vitamin E were estimated by using 3-day diet records. Mean plasma concentrations of these nutrients were calculated within categories of intake, and polynomial contrasts were used to test for linear trends of the plasma nutrient concentrations across these categories. Adjustments for the corresponding intake of the plasma nutrient under consideration, as well as age, sex and smoking status were made to minimize potential confounding. Plasma α-tocopherol concentrations were 18% greater in individuals consuming vitamin C ≥220 mg/day compared with those with intakes &lt;120 mg/day (P for trend &lt;0.001). Plasma carotenoid concentrations were 13% higher across increasing categories of vitamin C intake (P for trend = 0.002). An increasing intake of supplemental vitamin E was weakly correlated with plasma ascorbic acid (P for trend = 0.05) and unrelated to carotenoid status. Results provide epidemiological evidence that increasing intake of vitamin C, vitamin E or carotenoids is associated with greater plasma concentrations of 1 or both of the other antioxidant vitamins and not associated with any impairment in antioxidant status.

N2  - It was investigated whether diet or various metabolites alter chromium uptake and distribution in rats. Radioactively labelled Cr was detected within 15 min of oral administration to rats, and the total amount retained remained relatively constant from 1 to 24 h. Dietary Cr intake did not alter Cr retention or distribution. The majority of the Cr was retained in the carcass. However, when the amount of labelled Cr was expressed per g of tissue, the highest amounts of Cr were found in the kidneys, spleen and pancreas. Pharmacological doses of insulin epinephrine, glucagon and dibutyryladenosine-3′ -5′ cyclic monophosphate, prostaglandins A1, A2, B1, B2, E1, E2, F1α and F2α did not significantly influence Cr retention. Glucose, sucrose, nicotinic acid, glutathione and other metabolites administered orally in conjunction with labelled Cr also did not significantly alter Cr retention. These data indicate that most nutrients and metabolites do not alter Cr retention and distribution. The regulation of Cr homeostasis appears to be at the level of excretion.

N2  - The modification of a newly developed method for estimation of apparent total N-nitroso compounds by chemical denitrosation and chemiluminescence detection of nitric oxide (thermal energy analysis) is described. The minimum level of reliable estimation was 0.1 mg/kg, and the repeatability of the method was 0.2 mg/kg, based on the response of N-nitrosoproline (NPro). 73 samples of cured-meat products, including frankfurters, bacon and ham, were examined; 50 samples contained less than 1 mg/kg. The largest amounts, up to 24.8 mg/kg, were detected in canned corned beef.

N2  - A simplified enzymatic-gravimetric method for total dietary fibre (TDF) estimation has been published and used in the Food Composition Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture since 1988. This method gives comparable results to AOAC Official Methods 985.29 and 991.43 but the AOAC methods use 100°C (water bath) to gelatinize the sample and a combination of α-amylase and an amyloglucosidase to hydrolyse starches, whereas the simplified method incorporates an autoclaving step (121°C) for gelatinization followed by incubation with only amyloglucosidase. The simplified method omits protease hydrolysis and does not require any pH adjustment. Overall, the simplified method cuts cost and is less labour intensive. An interlaboratory study was conducted to validate this method. Blind duplicates of 6 sample (baked beans, corn bran, roasted peanuts, cooked potatoes, white bread with reduced energy and cooked white rice) were sent to 11 laboratories. The reproducibility relative standard deviations of the TDF values (without outliers) ranged from 3.46 to 27.6%. The repeatability standard deviations ranged from 0.91 to 14.6%.

N2  - Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using CO2 was examined for separating carbamate pesticides from interfering coextractives prior to analysis by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection or by gas chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry (GC/ITMS). Pre-extraction of the ground meat with acetonitrile prior to SFE left behind over 99% of the fat and fibre in ground meat. The concentrated acetonitrile extracts containing the carbamates and other coextractives were adsorbed on a pelletized diatomaceous earth for SFE. SFE further reduced the amount of coextractive 10-fold. This procedure allows larger, more representative samples to be routinely analysed, removes interferences that appear in the fluorescence mode, and reduces many of the non-volatiles that can accumulate on the capillary column in the GC/ITMS mode and shorten its lifetime after multiple injections.

N2  - The effect of β-carotene supplementation on the concentrations and distribution in plasma lipoprotein and non-lipoprotein fractions of carotenoids, α-tocopherol, retinol and cholesterol was studied. 10 women (65.9±1.7 years old) ingested β-carotene 90 mg or placebo daily for 3 weeks while residing in their homes and eating their usual meals. Carotenoids (β-carotene, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin), retinol, α-tocopherol and cholesterol were measured in plasma lipoprotein and non-lipoprotein fractions before and after treatments. In the β-carotene-supplemented group, total plasma β-carotene increased 14-fold from 0.48±0.13 to 6.83±2.12 µmol/litre (P=0.04). Although the greatest increase in β-carotene was in LDL, the magnitude of increase was similar in LDL, HDL and VLDL. Thus, the relative distribution of β-carotene in lipoproteins was unchanged: about 71% was in LDL, about 15% in HDL and about 12% in VLDL, before and after β-carotene supplementation. There were no changes in amounts and distribution in lipoproteins of the other carotenoids, α-tocopherol and cholesterol. There was no change in the amount of retinol in lipoprotein-deficient plasma. There were no changes in total plasma triglycerides. Significant positive correlations were found between LDL- or VLDL-cholesterol and α-tocopherol in LDL or VLDL, respectively; between LDL- or VLDL-cholesterol and lutein/zeaxanthin in LDL or VLDL, respectively; and between HDL-cholesterol and β-carotene in HDL. It is concluded that β-carotene supplementation (90 mg/day for 3 weeks) in healthy older women results in an enrichment of all plasma lipoprotein fractions with β-carotene, but does not alter the relative distribution of β-carotene in lipoproteins. β-Carotene supplementation has no effect on the amounts and relative distribution of lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin and α-tocopherol in lipoproteins, or of retinol in the non-lipoprotein fraction of plasma. Short term β-carotene supplementation has no effect on the concentrations of plasma total triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-, LDL- and VLDL-cholesterol.

N2  - The major proposals for refocusing national US food assistance efforts would reduce funding and eligibility for some Federal programmes and transfer control of others to the States under a block grant with a fixed spending limit. The impacts of the changes will extend beyond programme recipients to the rest of the food sector and the larger economy. With reductions in food assistance, national food spending would decrease, as would the demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and farm income. The period of adjustment will affect the impacts. Some impacts will be mitigated as the savings from the reduced government expenditures are injected back into the economy, through either a tax cut or deficit reduction. The long term effect of either use of the savings will be a shift of jobs out of food and into non-food production, with disproportionate losses being felt in rural areas.

N2  - Personal income is a key factor affecting not only the amount US citizens spend on food, but also the types of food they buy. In 1987-88, food spending by low-income households was about 82% of the national average. The paper presents results from an analysis of USDA's 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Data are examined for food products individually: dairy products; red meats, poultry and seafood; eggs; fats and oils; flours, cereals and bakery products; fruits and vegetables; sugars and sweets; and beverages. Low income households eat different foods than the general population, and as a group have a higher risk of developing nutrition-related health disorders. While low income households economize their food dollar effectively, the nutritional quality of their diets tends to suffer as a result of lower quality foods and fewer fresh products.

N2  - The strength of the US economy belies the inequality of income distribution. Households with the lowest incomes spend a higher proportion of their income on shelter, leaving less for food and other needs. A recent survey revealed that at least 2.5% of US households sometimes or often do not get enough to eat. However, building an accurate profile of those affected by hunger and food insecurity in the USA has traditionally been problematic. This paper examines ways of improving efforts to assess hunger and food insecurity. A new monitoring tool being introduced is the inclusion of a series of questions on hunger and food insecurity as a supplement to the nationally representative monthly Current Population Survey.

N2  - Developing countries are expected to face severe food shortages in the next decade unless their prolonged and rapid population growth is accompanied by increased agricultural production and/or growth in purchasing power. Undernourishment remains a problem, particularly in many African countries. The problems are compounded by a scarcity of suitable land, limited use of modern inputs, inadequate infrastructure, and unsuitable government policies. Imports are needed, but funds are limited, and foreign aid in the form of money or food is expected to decline in the future. Developing countries badly need to implement policies for population control, economic growth and investment in agriculture.

N2  - A greater variety of foods, advances in food production and technology, changing consumer preferences, and revised Federal standards for enrichment are affecting the type and amounts of nutrients available in the US food supply. Changes in foods and nutrients are monitored with disappearance data and reported on a per caput basis. They measure US supplies available for human consumption. The level of food energy available for consumption increased by 400 calories per caput per day between 1970 and 1990. Levels of vitamins have also increased, and more minerals are available. This is particularly true for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and potassium. Food and nutrient availability are expected to continue to change as producers and manufacturers respond to changing food preferences, new Federal regulations, and new technologies.

N2  - Cost-of-illness (COI) estimates can be compared to identify the most expensive foodborne pathogens and illnesses in the USA. COI estimates can also be compared with the costs of pathogen control programmes to determine what level and direction of intervention may be needed. Types of pathogens and foodborne illnesses are documented. COI estimates tend to understate the true social costs as it is difficult to measure some costs (such as suffering and discomfort). The number of cases of people affected by foodborne illnesses each year may increase with improved statistical reporting and estimation procedures. Successful implementation of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point approach to improving inspection practices for meat and poultry, combined with improved consumer awareness of food safety risks, would be important components to reducing the number of foodborne illness cases from eating such foods.

N2  - Rapid income growth, especially in China and other Asian nations, boosted world average caloric intake to record levels in many regions during 1990-92, mainly through increased consumption of cereals, meat, and vegetable oils. Average daily food use rose from under 2400 calories in the 1970s to almost 2700 calories in the early 1990s. Growth was particularly strong in the developing countries of Asia, led by a 33% increase since 1970 in caloric intake in China and 13% in Hong Kong. However, many did not share in the growing food abundance, and undernutrition caused by inadequate energy and/or nutrient intake continues to be a major force. As incomes increase their is a need for nutrition education to ensure nutritional benefits are maximized.

N2  - Over the past decade enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) have emerged as a major cause of foodborne infections, often leading to severe sequelae and even death. Particularly prominent among the EHEC has been the serotype O157:H7, which only a few years ago was described as a "rare" serotype. Important virulence factors of these organisms are the production of one or both of two bacteriophage-encoded toxins, known as the Shiga-like toxins (SLT), which are also called verotoxins and the ability to cause the attaching and effacing lesion in the intestinal mucosa following intimate adherence. Also there is present in most EHEC O157:H7 strains a plasmid of Mr 60 000, whose full role in the virulence of these organisms is at present unknown. The genes for the SLTs have been cloned and sequenced as has the eaeA gene, whose protein product may be required for the attaching and effacing lesion. Probes for the Mr 60 000 plasmid are also available. In this study the authors sequenced a 1.4-kb fragment and two PCR primers were designed to specifically amplify a 166-bp amplicon within the Mr 60 000 sequence. After a gene bank search it was noted that there was a strong homology between this sequence and the E. colihlyA gene, which is associated with haemolytic activity. For this study the authors used these primers for the Mr 60 000 plasmid, which are given, and previously described SLT I and SLT II and eaeA primers to develop a Multiplex PCR technique to identify EHEC. The full methodological details are given and follow standard procedures. The results show that all toxigenic O157 strains of E. coli gave a positive result. The one non-toxigenic strain of O157 tested did not give a positive PCR result. Other serotypes of E. coli were tested including O26:H11; O103:H2; O111:H-; O113:H21, some of which gave a positive PCR. [Unfortunately the authors do not indicate the sources of these isolates and whether they might have been involved in infections.] A large number of other bacterial species gave negative results. [This technique is a very useful adjunct to the methods available to identify these important pathogens, but concentrated on only one serotype of EHEC. In future studies they should link their findings to investigations of the many other established EHEC. There are many rapid methods available to identify O157 strains but the problems of finding and identifying the other EHEC are still very great.] K.A. Bettelheim

N2  - The effect of live bacterial yoghurt cultures (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus), and a mucosal-adhering strain of Lactobacillus gasseri (ADH) on small-intestinal and faecal bacterial characteristics was examined in 10 elderly subjects with atrophic gastritis and 23 elderly normal volunteers (11 received yoghurt and 12 received ADH). Neither S. thermophilus nor L. bulgaricus was recovered from the stomach or small intestine of subjects given yoghurt or pasteurized yoghurt. ADH was recovered from gastric or small-intestinal aspirates in 3 of 4 subjects and in stools of 4 of 5 subjects diagnosed as having atrophic gastritis. In 11 of 12 normal subjects, ADH was isolated from stools. There was a significant reduction in faecal bacterial enzyme activity in both normal volunteers and subjects with atrophic gastritis after consumption of viable ADH. Results indicated (1) that adherent strains such as ADH are likely to survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract and thus to have greater metabolic effects; (2) that elderly atrophic gastritis subjects are more easily populated with specific lactobacilli than normal elderly subjects; and (3) that the microorganisms found in yoghurt have no impact on the flora of healthy elderly subjects, and relatively little impact on the flora of subjects with atrophic gastritis.

N2  - Human host attack rates and the repellency of deet [diethyltoluamide] (25% in ethanol) to nulliparous A. albopictus in the laboratory were significantly influenced by mosquito age and body size and by the interaction of age and body size. Host attack rates were higher for 20-day- (24.5%) and 15-day-old females (22.9%) than for 10- (15.1%) and 5-day-old females (11.0%), regardless of body size, and for large females (22.2%) compared with small females (16.6%), regardless of mosquito age. Diethyltoluamide on human skin repelled small-bodied females longer (3.87 h) than large females (2.31 h); 15-day-old females were repelled longer (3.75 h) than 5- (2.33 h), 10- (3.08 h) or 20-day-old females (3.07 h), regardless of body size. Host attack rates and diethyltoluamide repellency among 15-day-old parous and 15-day-old nulliparous large- and small-bodied female A. albopictus were similar, but diethyltoluamide repellency was less (by ~2 h ) against large females compared with small-bodied females.

N2  - Twenty-nine repellents were tested on human skin for duration of activity as protectants against nymphal A. americanum and against I. scapularis. 11 of these repellents, including deet [diethyltoluamide], provided &gt;2 h of protection against A. americanum. One repellent, 1-(3-cyclohexenyl-ylcarbonyl)piperidine, was effective ≥4 h. Four repellents (2 pyridines and 2 piperidines with protection lasting 2.3-3 h) showed acaricidal activity to more than half of the ticks tested after 9-12 min of exposure. Seven repellents that were most effective against A. americanum, including diethyltoluamide, were tested against I. scapularis. None was effective and no knockdown was observed. These results suggest that I. scapularis is less sensitive to repellents than A. americanum.

N2  - Anopheles perplexens was collected from habitats previously unreported for this species in northern Florida, USA. These habitats included intermittently flooded swamps, water-filled tyres and plastic oviposition cups. First-instar larvae were recovered from soil samples, collected in an intermittently flooded swamp, that were flooded in the laboratory, suggesting that A. perplexens eggs may survive in the soil during dry periods. Larvae were collected from water-filled tyres and plastic oviposition cups at sites near Gainesville. Of 30 dissected A. perplexens females collected in updraft CDC traps, all had ovarioles in S.R. Christopher's stage II and blood was absent in the midgut. The physiological state of these females indicates that updraft CDC traps collect predominantly host-seeking females and that females take one blood meal per gonotrophic cycle.

N2  - A 1-year survey was conducted with structural pest control employees of Florida, USA, to determine the kinds of ants and types of ant problems confronted in both commercial and household pest control. 8 species of ants were identified as key pests in Florida. Of these, the most common were Solenopsis invicta - 14%, Tapinoma melanocephalum - 14%, Paratrechina longicornis - 14%, Camponotus abdominalis floridanus - 12%, Monomorium pharaonis - 11%, Camponotus tortuganus - 8%, Pheidole megacephala - 7% and Paratrechina bourbonica - 4%. More than 25 other species of ants which were occasional invaders were also collected in the survey. Customer complaints, nest locations, and treatment strategies for pest ants are also described.

N2  - Cats that have shed Toxoplasma gondii oocysts are considered to be immune to reshedding of oocysts. To investigate if this immunity persists in cats for 6 years, twelve 4-6-month-old cats without T. gondii antibodies were inoculated orally with tissue cysts of the ME-49 strain (6 cats) and the TS-2 strain (6 cats) of T. gondii. All of them shed ≥20 million oocysts between 4 and 13 days after feeding tissue cysts. Two cats became ill between 11 and 13 days after primary infection; one died on the 13th day, and the other had to be killed on the 11th day because of generalized acute toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasma gondii oocysts were not found on the hair of 10 cats examined 7 days after cats had shed millions of oocysts. On day 39 after primary infection, 5 cats (2 infected with the ME-49 strain and 3 infected with the TS-2 strain) were challenged orally with tissue cysts of the ME-49 strain. None of the challenged cats shed oocysts. One cat died due to causes unrelated to toxoplasmosis. 77 months after primary infection, the remaining 9 cats were challenged orally with tissue cysts of the P89 strain of T. gondii. Four of these 9 cats re-shed T. gondii oocysts: 3 of them had been challenged also at 39 days after primary infection. Two control cats housed together with chronically infected cats for 6 years remained seronegative for T. gondii; both of these shed oocysts after challenge with the P89 strain.

N2  - Two formulations of methyl anthranilate (MA), one (ReJex-iT TP-40 (TP-40)) containing a surfactant, the other (ReJex-iT AP-50 (AP-50)) a miscible, free-flowing powder, effectively repelled captive mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) from pools of water in pen tests, and/or free-ranging gulls (Larus delawarensis and L. argentatus) from pools of water in field trials in Ohio for 4-11 days. With one exception, pool entries and bill contacts with water were reduced (p≤ 0.02) in pools treated with both formulations compared with untreated pools. Overall gull activity was reduced (p≤ 0.01) when all available water was treated with AP-50. Effectiveness of TP-40 (v/v) was similar to the previously reported effectiveness of powdered formulations where MA concn were 1.6-3.0 times (g/g) greater, a consequence of the surfactant concentrating MA at the surface. These tests indicate that MA-based formulations might have utility at airports and perhaps other locations where it is desirable to reduce bird activity in temporary pools of water.

N2  - A monoclonal antitoxin/colloidal gold probe and sequential centrifugation were used to study synthesis, translocation and export of Clostridium botulinum str.62A neurotoxin (NT). Exponential growth occurred after 5 h of anaerobic incubation of spores and continued for 15-16 h at which point NT was then detected using the probe and transmission electron microscopy (TEM); ~2 h earlier than when using the mouse bioassay. During exponential growth, the probe localized NT primarily in the cytoplasm, on the inner side of the cytoplasmic membrane, and in the cell wall. During stationary and death phases, the NT was located within the cytoplasm, cell wall, and extracellularly. Release of NT from the cell was during cell wall exfoliation. Cells retained NT after repeated gelatin-phosphate washes and sequential centrifugations, which was consistent with the TEM observation that the NT was bound to the cell wall. It was concluded that C. botulinum type A NT production follows a sequence of synthesis, translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane, and export through the cell wall.

N2  - 10 middle-aged men participated in a crossover study to investigate the cholesterolaemic effect of high amounts of stearic acid in a natural diet. They consumed a 20-day stabilization diet followed by 2 40-day intervention diets containing 1.5% of energy as stearic acid (SA) and 7.3% of energy as palmitic acid (PA) (low stearate; LS) or 2.4% of energy as PA and 7.3% of energy as SA (high stearate: HS). The experimental diets also contained about 10% of energy as polyunsaturated fatty acids. The primary source of SA in the HS diet was sheanut oil (commercially referred to as shea butter) and palm oil and butter in the LS diet. Plasma total, LDL and HDL cholesterol were significantly lower with the HS than with the LS diet. Total faecal fatty acid excretion was higher throughout the HS period. Apparent digestibility of the major dietary fatty acids showed that all of the selected fatty acids, except SA were ≥95% absorbed. These data demonstrate that feeding diets containing about 2 times the usual amount of stearic acid consumed in the USA contributed to an increase in plasma lipoprotein concentrations at 40 days from an earlier decrease at 20 days. The time required to achieve stable cholesterol concentrations appears to vary depending on the kind of saturated fatty acids present in the diet.

N2  - The concentrations in selected breakfast cereals of inositol tris-, tetra-, penta- and hexakis-phosphate (IP3, IP4, IP5 and IP6, respectively) were estimated by HPLC methodology. In addition, calcium, magnesium and zinc concentrations were estimated by atomic absorption spectrometry. All cereals examined contained each of the inositol phosphate (IP) species. Wheat and oat cereals contained an overall average of 5 and 8 µmol/g, respectively, of IP6, representing 46 and 65% of total IP. The mean IP6 content of bran or bran added cereals was 13 µmol/g, 65% of the total IP content. Maize, rice and most multigrain-based cereals contained lower concentrations of IPs. Whole grain or bran cereals to which no source of Ca or Zn was added averaged Ca 10.9, Zn 0.48 and Mg 57.1 µmol. Maize and rice cereals contained lower amounts of Ca, Zn and Mg. Calculated indices of bioavailability, such as phytate/Zn and phytate/Ca molar ratios are most meaningful if based on values for IP6 or IP6 + IP5 rather than total IPs.

N2  - A 9 week study of adaptation to marginal protein intakes was conducted in 12 women (66 to 79 years old). Subjects were randomly assigned to 2 groups fed on a weight-maintenance diet containing protein 1.47 (low) or 2.94 (adequate) g/kg body cell mass (0.45 and 0.92 g/kg body weight daily, respectively). Mean nitrogen balance in the low-protein group remained negative throughout the study. These subjects experienced significant losses in lean tissue, immune response and muscle function. The adequate-protein group was in N balance throughout the study, without changes in lean tissue, and with improvements in immune response, serum immunoglobulins, albumin, total protein values and muscle function. Thus, elderly women fed on the low-protein diet accommodated to the diet by compromising functional capacity, whereas those fed on the adequate diet maintained functional capacity.

N2  - This study was conducted to examine the effects of nutrient interactions between dietary carbohydrates and copper levels on fructose-metabolizing hepatic enzymes in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed on diets for 5 weeks that were adequate or deficient in Cu that contained starch or fructose. Rats of both sexes fed on fructose compared with those fed on starch showed higher activity of hepatic fructose metabolizing enzymes. There were also significant differences in fructose metabolism of liver between the male and female rats. Female rats had lower hepatic ketohexokinase and triose kinase but higher triosephosphate isomerase activities compared with male rats. Male rats fed on Cu-deficient diets had lower aldolase B activity compared with those fed on Cu-adequate diets. Female rats fed on Cu-deficient diets had higher triosephosphate isomerase activity compared with rats fed on Cu-adequate diets. The data suggest that gender differences in hepatic fructose metabolism may not be the primary reason for the severity of Cu deficiency syndrome in male rats fed on Cu-deficient diet with fructose.

N2  - There is little information on the effects of age on energy requirements in women. This issue was investigated in a study of 10 normal-weight women, 25.2±1.1 years old and 10 normal-weight women, 74.0±1.4 years old. In a 9-day study, measurements were made of free-living total energy expenditure (TEE) by using the doubly labelled water technique, body composition by using hydrodensitometry and resting energy expenditure (REE) by using indirect calorimetry. Mean values for reported levels of strenuous activity were within the expected range in both groups (31±13 and 7±2 min/day in the young and old group, respectively). Energy requirements expressed as the ratio of TEE to REE were 1.80±0.10 and 1.62±0.06 (P&lt;0.01) in the young and older group, respectively. When values for REE predicted from body weight (pREE) were used, as suggested in the current recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), the ratios of TEE to p/REE in the 2 groups were 1.85±0.10 and 1.54±0.04 (P&lt;0.05). The RDAs under-predicted the energy requirements of the young group (P&lt;0.05), but there was no significant under-prediction in the older group. Although obtained in a relatively small number of subjects, these results provide no evidence to indicate that the current RDAs underestimate the energy requirements of older women, in contrast with previous observations of an underestimation of energy requirements by the RDAs in older men.

N2  - Carbohydrate metabolism was assessed in glucose-intolerant subjects (12 women, 8 men; 53 to 78 years old) before and after 12 weeks on a high-carbohydrate diet (HC) or the diet combined with exercise training (HC-EX). The diet provided 60% of energy as carbohydrate and 20% as fat. Neither treatment altered fasting glucose or insulin concentrations or their response to a meal. During a glucose clamp (216 pmol insulin/litre) glucose disposal increased from 13.2±0.83 to 14.6±0.83 µmol kg fat-free mass-1 min-1 (P&lt;0.05) in both groups. During more pronounced hyperinsulinaemia (654 pmol/litre) glucose disposal did not change significantly (49.9±3.8 to 50.7±3.8 µmol kg fat-free mass-1 min-1). Muscle glycogen increased in the HC-EX group (78.5±8.1 to 161.1±15.7 mmol glucose/kg muscle), with no changes in the HC group. These results do not support the recommendation to increase the dietary carbohydrate content for improving postprandial glucose metabolism or insulin action in glucose-intolerant adults unless combined with exercise training, which promotes muscle glycogen storage.

N2  - Nitrogen balance, fed-state leucine kinetics and urinary 3-methylhistidine (3-MeH) excretion were examined in 12 men and women, aged 56 to 80 years, before and during 12 weeks of resistance training (RT). Subjects were randomized into groups that consumed diets providing protein 0.80±0.02 (low protein, LP) or 1.62±0.02 g/kg daily (high protein, HP). At baseline, mean N balance was negative for LP (N -4.6±3.4) and positive for HP (N 13.6±1.0 mg/kg daily). N retention increased similarly in LP and HP at the 11th week of RT by 12.8 and 12.7 mg/kg daily, respectively. Thus LP had increased efficiency of N retention. LP had decreased leucine flux (P&lt;0.001), oxidation (P&lt;0.001) and uptake for protein synthesis (P&lt;0.02), relative to HP, at baseline and after RT. Leucine flux increased with RT in both diet groups (P&lt;0.05) and was associated mainly with an increase in protein synthesis in LP (91% of change in flux) and an increase in oxidation in HP (72% of change in flux; RT-diet interaction, P&lt;0.05). RT increased actomyosin protein breakdown (increased 3-MeH:creatinine ratio, P&lt;0.01). Diet-related differences in protein metabolism did not influence body composition changes with RT. These data suggest that the efficiency of N retention and protein utilization during RT is higher in older subjects who consume protein 0.8 vs. 1.6 g/kg daily.

N2  - The effects of chronic consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol on hormones associated with lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol and cholesterol, insulin receptors on erythrocyte membranes and erythrocyte membrane fluidity were studied during 3 phases of the menstrual cycle in 37 premenopausal women. Women were given ethanol 30 g or an equienergetic fruit juice for 3 menstrual cycles in a crossover design. Blood samples were analysed during the luteal, midcycle and follicular phases. Administration of alcohol induced a significant rise in plasma glucagon and cortisol uniformly across the entire menstrual cycle. A similar rise in plasma growth hormone was observed at midcycle during the period when subjects consumed alcohol. A marginal effect was observed on cholesterol and somatomedin C concentrations. Insulin binding to erythrocyte ghosts was not affected by alcohol or menstrual-cycle phase. Erythrocyte membranes were more fluid during the follicular than during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle when the women were consuming the alcohol. There were no perceptible interactions between alcohol and phases of the menstrual cycle for the indexes studied, except membrane fluidity.

N2  - A study of molybdenum absorption, excretion and balance was conducted in 4 young men fed on 5 amounts of dietary Mo, ranging from 22 to 1490 µg/day, for 24 days each. Stable isotopes of Mo were used as tracers. 100Mo was fed 5 times during the study and 97Mo was infused 3 times. 94Mo was used to quantify the Mo isotopes and total Mo in urine, faecal collections and diets by isotope dilution. Adverse effects were not observed at any of the dietary intakes. Mo was very efficiently absorbed, 88-93%, at all intakes, and absorption was most efficient at the highest amounts of dietary Mo. The amount and percentage of Mo excreted in urine increased as dietary Mo increased, suggesting that Mo is low and increases as dietary Mo increases. It is concluded that dietary intakes between 22 and 1500 µg/day by men are safe for ≥24 days and that Mo retention is regulated by urinary excretion. Mo is conserved at low intakes and excess Mo is rapidly excreted in the urine when intake is high.

N2  - A Healthy Eating Index (HEI) of overall diet quality was developed based on a 10-component system of 5 food groups, 4 nutrients and a measure of variety in food intake. Each of the 10 components had a score ranging from 0 to 10, allowing a possible total index score of 100. Data from the 1989 and 1990 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals were used to analyse the HEI for a representative sample of the US population (about 7500 people ≥2 years old). Mean HEI score was 63.9. Only 2% of the sample had a HEI &lt;40 and only 11-12% had a HEI &gt;80. No one component of the index dominated the HEI score. People were most likely to have low scores in the fruit, saturated fat, grains, vegetable and total fat categories. The HEI correlated positively and significantly with most nutrients; as the total HEI increased, intake for a range of nutrients also increased. The is a useful index of overall diet quality of the consumer. In conclusion, the US Department of Agriculture plan to use the HEI to monitor changes in dietary intake over time and as the basis of nutrition promotion activities for the population.

N2  - The agricultural impacts of potential climate change have been investigated in some detail. Although considerable uncertainties remain, overall studies conducted to date do not find the global food supply seriously threatened. This paper briefly reviews existing findings, identifies limitations of these findings, addresses the issues of hunger and climate change, and indicates some broader implications for the agricultural policies of the world's nations. The focus is generally restricted to studies that assess global impacts, while providing what evidence exists on regional differences in effects.

N2  - Food security is defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. This paper explores the relationships between food security and women's self-evaluated health status. A theoretical model is developed which suggests that primary interests can be served by estimating health and food security production functions. Results show that food security has a significant influence on a woman's self-evaluated health status. However, the exact manifestations are difficult to quantify; they may be psychological or physiological. The most food-insecure women tend to be poor and less educated. Tobacco use, lack of physical exercise and obesity also weigh heavily against good health status.

N2  - Thirty battery-hatched chukar partridges were inoculated orally with oocysts of the ME 49 or the GT-1 strain of Toxoplasma gondii. All 6 chukars given 10 000 GT-1 strain oocysts died or were killed between 3 and 6 days postinoculation. 15 of 24 chukars given 10 000, 1000, 100 or 10 ME 49 strain oocysts died or were killed between 6 and 14 days after infection. Nine chukars that were not ill by day 14 remained clinically normal until killed in good health on day 47 or 67; T. gondii was found by bioassay in mice inoculated with tissues of these 9 chukars. From the tissues of 5 chukars bioassayed individually in mice, T. gondii was isolated from brains of all of 4 tested, and from the hearts and skeletal muscles of 5 and livers of 3 of 5 tested. Major lesions in chukars that died or those killed when ill were enteritis, splenic necrosis, myocarditis and encephalitis. Myocarditis and encephalitis persisted in chukars examined on day 47, 53 and 67. All chukars examined on day 10 developed anti-T. gondii antibodies. Anti-T. gondii antibodies detected in the modified agglutination test were higher than those in latex and haemagglutination tests. The Sabin-Feldman dye test did not detect T. gondii antibodies in sera of chukars. The ME 49 strain of T. gondii was more pathogenic to chukars weighing ≥300 g than to the 25 g Swiss Webster mice.

AB  - Despite the importance of total energy intake in circadian system regulation, no study has related human CLOCK gene polymorphisms and food-intake measures. The aim of this study was to analyze the associations of CLOCK single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with food intake and to explore the specific role of the cytokine system. A total of 1100 individual participants in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study were included. Dietary intake was estimated with a validated questionnaire. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-2 soluble receptor-α (IL-2sR-α) and adiponectin plasma concentrations were measured. Our results showed that four of five CLOCK SNPs selected were significantly associated with total energy intake (P<0.05). For SNP rs3749474, the energy intake and total fat, protein and carbohydrate intakes were significantly higher in minor allele carriers than in non-carriers. Frequency of the minor allele was greater in subjects with high energy intake than in those with low intake. Subjects with the minor allele were 1.33 times more likely to have high energy intake than non-carriers (95% CI 1.09–1.72, P=0.0350). All CLOCK SNPs were associated with plasma cytokine values, in particular with those that were highly correlated with energy intake: MCP1, IL-6 and adiponectin. Interestingly, minor allele carriers with high energy intake showed decreased cytokine values, which could be related with a lower anorectic effect and decreased sleep in these subjects. In conclusion, we show a novel association of genetic variation at CLOCK with total energy intake, which was particularly relevant for SNP rs3749474. Associations could be mediated through the alteration of cytokine levels that may influence energy intake and sleep pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Primary objective To characterize the diets of low-income inner-city African Americans to develop a population-specific quantitative food frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) that will be used to highlight foods and nutrients for a nutritional intervention program aimed at reducing the risk of chronic disease and to evaluate the program. Methods and procedures A cross-sectional survey conducted in inner-city Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Twenty-four-hour dietary recalls were collected in 91 low-income African Americans aged between 18 and 74 years. Main outcomes and results The average daily energy intake was approximately 2,165 kcal for women and 2,509 kcal for men. The percentages of energy from fat were approximately 34% and 33% for women and men, respectively. Sodas were the main contributor to energy and sugar intake. A 113-item QFFQ was developed. Conclusions The results highlighted specific foods and nutrients that would be targeted in the nutritional intervention. The QFFQ developed is culturally appropriate and specific for low-income African Americans in inner-city Baltimore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To determine the effects of eating carotene-rich green and yellow vegetables on the prevalence of anaemia, iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia in schoolchildren.Subjects and methods:Schoolchildren (n=104), aged 9–12 years, received standardized meals containing 4.2 mg of provitamin A carotenoids/day (mainly β-carotene) from yellow and green leafy vegetables and at least 7 g dietary fat/day. The meals were provided three times/day, 5 days/week, for 9 weeks at school. Before and after the dietary intervention, total-body vitamin A pool size was assessed by using the deuterated-retinol-dilution method; serum retinol and β-carotene concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography; and whole blood haemoglobin (Hb) and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) concentrations were measured by using a photometer and a hematofluorometer, respectively.Results:After 9 weeks, the mean total-body vitamin A pool size increased twofold (95% confidence interval (CI): −0.11, −0.07 μmol retinol; P<0.001), and serum β-carotene concentration increased fivefold (95% CI: −0.97, −0.79 μmol/l; P<0.001). Blood Hb (95% CI: −1.02, −0.52 g per 100 ml; P<0.001) and ZnPP increased (95% CI: −11.82, −4.57 μmol/mol haem; P<0.001). The prevalence of anaemia (Hb<11.5 g per 100 ml) decreased from 12.5 to 1.9% (P<0.001). There were no significant changes in the prevalence of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia.Conclusions:Ingestion of carotene-rich yellow and green leafy vegetables improves the total-body vitamin A pool size and Hb concentration, and decreases anaemia rates in Filipino schoolchildren, with no effect on iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia rates.

AB  - Abstract: In this article we show that the reconstructions of semiconductor surfaces can be determined using a genetic procedure. Coupled with highly optimized interatomic potentials, the present approach represents an efficient tool for finding and sorting good structural candidates for further electronic structure calculations and comparison with scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images. We illustrate the method for the case of Si(105), and build a database of structures that includes the previously found low-energy models, as well as a number of novel configurations.

Nonspecific reactions with T. gondii antigen were not found in 1:10 dilutions of sera from eight pigs experimentally infected with Sarcocystis miescheriana, 11 pigs infected with Ascaris suum, three pigs infected with Trichuris suis, ten pigs infected with Trichinella spiralis, nine pigs infected with various porcine viruses, six gnotobiotic pigs, and 82 fetal pigs. Antibodies were also not found in 1:25 dilution of sera from 200 naturally aborted fetal pigs. Thus, evidence for cross reactivity to T. gondii with unrelated or related organisms using the MAT was not found

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Sera from 75 water buffaloes from Egypt were examined using a direct agglutination test incorporating mercaptoethanol for antibodies to Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii. Antibodies to N. caninum were found in 51 (68%) of 75 buffaloes in titres of 1:20 (six buffaloes), 1:40 (15 buffaloes), 1:160 (one buffalo), 1:320 (one buffalo) and > or = 1:640 (28 buffaloes), using N. caninum formalin-preserved whole tachyzoites as antigen. Antibodies to T. gondii were not found in a 1:100 dilution of serum of any of the 75 buffaloes, using T. gondii as antigen, indicating specificity in the detection of antibodies to N. caninum. This is the first report of N. caninum prevalence in water buffaloes, which are economically very important domestic animals in developing countries

N2  - The robustness of a structure-activity model for avian trigeminal chemoirritants was tested. 14 benzoates and acetophenones were tested using European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) as a bioassay. In general, the previously proposed model was a reasonable predictor of repellency (i.e. irritant potency). It was found that the presence of a phenyl ring was critical to repellency. Basicity of the molecule is the next most critical feature influencing repellency. The presence of an acidic function with the electron-withdrawing functionality seriously detracts from repellency. The presence or absence of a electron-withdrawing or -donating group may potentiate effects, but its presence is not critical, so long as the phenyl ring is electron rich. It is suggested that there is an o-aminoacetophenone/methyl anthranilate trigeminal chemoreceptor in birds analogous to the mammalian capsaicin receptor. Both receptors contain a benzene site. However, birds seen to lack the associated thiol/hydrogen-bonding site present in mammals which is needed to activate the benzene site. Rather, birds may posses an associated exposed charged site that in turn may interact with the stimulus to activate the benzene site. These differences may explain the differential sensitivity of birds and mammals to aromatic irritants.

N2  - Important information for the location by mosquitoes of a wide range of resources is provided by the visual perception of objects and the environment. Behaviour of mosquitoes in the location of these resources has been well studied, yet relatively little has been reported on the physical parameters pertaining to mosquito vision. An understanding of physics relating to vision aids in an appreciation of the importance of morphology and physiology and ambient light conditions in mosquito vision.

N2  - Swarms and emergence exoduses of A. taeniorhynchus mosquitoes produce sounds detectable from 10 to 50 m in a quiet environment. Background noise levels as low as 21 dB (decibels referenced to 20 µPa) are present at dusk between frequencies of 0.3 and 3.4 kHz. A mosquito swarm with a sound pressure level of 25-35 dB is detectable over tens of metres in the marsh, if not in the 40- to 60-dB background noise of a typical environment. Individually caged A. taeniorhynchus also are detectable, but only within 2-5 cm distances where the sound pressure level rises to 22-25 dB. These differences between signal and noise levels indicate that it is technologically feasible to construct an acoustical device for remote surveillance of large swarms or emergence exoduses of A. taeniorhynchus. This device could also detect nearby individuals attracted to a bait. Such a device can distinguish males from females by their wingbeat frequencies (700-800 Hz vs. 400-500 Hz).

N2  - Purified acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of Haematobia irritans was characterized to elucidate the enzymological, inhibitory and molecular properties of the enzyme. Maximum activity of the AChE against the substrate acetylthiocholine (ATCh) occurred when reactions were conducted at 37°C and pH 7.5. Km and Vmax values were (9.2±0.35) × 10-6M and 239.8±10.8 units/mg, respectively, for ATCh and (1.5±0.07) × 10-5 M and 138.5±5.5 units/mg, respectively, for butyrylthiocholine (BTCh). The activity of AChE decreased when concentrations of ATCh or BTCh were higher than 1 mM. Studies of the interaction of AChE with different inhibitors revealed pI50 values of 8.88 for eserine, 6.90 for BW284C51 and 4.97 for ethopropazine. Bimolecular reaction contrasts (kis) for the organophosphorus (OP) anticholinesterases were (2.74±0.14) × 10-6 M-1 min-1 for coroxon, (7.20±0.28) × 105 M-1 min-1 for stirofos. 2 major forms of native AChE molecules were found on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with Triton X-100, corresponding to bands AChE-2 and AChE-4 found on PAGE without Triton X-100. AChE-2 had an estimated molecular weight of 603 000 and was amphiphilic. AChE-4 had a molecular weight of 147 000 and was hydrophilic. Results of PAGE analysis indicated that the purified enzyme had 2 bands, one of about 123 kDa and the other &gt;320 kDa, prior to disulfide reduction and only one band at about 54 kDa after reduction on SDS-PAGE.

N2  - MAbs were prepared against hygromycin B. Splenocytes from mice immunized with a hygromycin B-ovalbumin conjugate were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells, and hybridomas secreting antibodies against hygromycin B were selected and cloned. An assay using the antibody with the highest affinity for hygromycin B is described. The MAb is specific for hygromycin B and does not cross-react with structurally similar aminoglycoside antibiotics commonly added to medicated feed. When tissue samples were spiked with hygromycin B, the average recoveries at 1, 2 and 4 ppm were 83, 82, and 91%, respectively. This ELISA can be used to rapidly screen porcine kidney samples for the presence of hygromycin B residues.

N2  - Caffeic acid (CA) is widely distributed among higher fruits and vegetables. While CA has antimicrobial activity, little information exists on its utility as a food additive. As such, CA was tested for activity against C. botulinum spores. At 0.78 and 3.25 mM, CA inhibited germination for 6 and 24 h, resp., with &gt;100 mM required to render spores nonviable. CA concn ≥50 mM reduced 80°C spore thermal resistance. Sporostatic activity was retained when tested in commercial meat broths, and 5.0 mM CA delayed toxigenesis. Caffeic acid has potential as a food additive to inhibit growth of C. botulinum, and reduced thermal processing requirements of heat sensitive foods.

N2  - Four-carbon dicarboxylic acids were individually screened for their inhibitory potential against proteolytic Clostridium botulinum spores. Ground turkey breast meat was formulated with 1.4% sodium cloride (NaCl), 0.3% sodium pyrophosphate, 2% organic acid, 8% water and 500 spores/g of a six-strain mixture of proteolytic C. botulinum. Samples were adjusted to pH 6. Ten g of product in vacuum packages were heated in 75°C water for 20 min, cooled and incubated for 0 to 25 d at 28°C. Botulinal neurotoxin was detected at 2 d in control samples (0% acid) and at 5 d in 2% malic acid (0.13 M), aspartic (0.13 M), tartaric (0.12 M), succinic (0.15 M), fumaric (0.15 M) samples. Toxin was undetected at 25 d in samples treated with maleic acid (0.15 M). Maleic acid reduced total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid organisms in temp.-abused product, compared t controls. Further systematic investigation of these and related compounds with prior approval for food-use may demonstrate previously unrecognized antibacterial potential.

N2  - Dietary protein requirements of elderly people were estimated by short-term nitrogen-balance techniques and using calculations recommended by the 1985 Joint FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation. 12 men and women, 56 to 80 years old were randomly assigned to groups that consumed protein 0.80±0.01 or 1.62±0.02 g/kg daily. Net N balance was negative for the lower-protein group (-4.6±3.4) and positive for the higher-protein group (13.6±1.0 mg/kg daily); the intake required for N equilibrium was estimated to be 1.0 g/kg daily. N-balance data from 3 previous protein requirement studies in elderly people were recalculated by using the same balance formula and combined with the current study data to provide an overall weighted mean protein requirement estimate of 0.91±0.043 g kg-1 day-1. Together, the current and retrospective N-balance data suggest that the mean protein requirement in elderly adults is considerably greater than the 0.60 g kg-1 day-1 established by the 1985 Joint FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Consultation. A safe protein intake for elderly adults would be 1.0 to 1.25 g kg-1 day-1 of high-quality protein.

N2  - 2-Methoxy-3-alkylpyrazines in 6 types of carrot products were estimated by a stripping-selective trapping procedure followed by purge-and-trap gas chromatographic analysis with an NP detector. The aroma threshold of one of the principal pyrazines, 2-methoxy-3-sec-butylpyrazine, in a carrot medium was 0.19 ng/g. The concentrations of this compound in whole-carrot products were 0.43 (fresh), 0.291 (canned, cooked) and 0.224 ng/g (frozen). A diced, cooked and freeze-dried product contained 0.070 ng/g. All of these products contained only this pyrazine. In contrast, a shredded, bagged product contained 2-methoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine as the sole pyrazine (0.32 ng/g), and a sliced, dried product contained a mixture of 3 pyrazines: 2-methoxy-3-sec-butyl- (0.109 ng/g), 2-methoxy-3-isopropyl- (0.176 ng/g) and 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (0.029 ng/g). The pyrazine concentrations in most of these products (except the freeze-dried product) exceeded the threshold value.

N2  - To examine whether the lower rates of heart disease in Taiwan than in the USA could be related to associations between plasma lipoproteins and dietary intake, these indexes were examined in 423 adults in Taipei, Taiwan matched with 420 adults in Framingham, USA. Concentrations of LDL cholesterol were 14% lower, HDL cholesterol 9% higher and LDL cholesterol:HDL cholesterol ratio 27% lower in Taipei than in Framingham. Dietary intakes of total fat (34%), saturated fatty acids and cholesterol (338 mg) were, respectively, 16, 41 and 19% lower in Taipei men, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acid intake was 89% higher than in Framingham men. Similar differences were seen for women except for total fat and cholesterol intakes, which were similar. From stepwise analyses of all subjects, significant associations of lower LDL cholesterol:HDL cholesterol ratio with higher polyunsaturated fatty acid intakes and lower body mass indexes were evident in men and women. The data indicate that the more favourable lipoprotein profiles observed in Taipei subjects may be partly due to differences in type of dietary fat consumption as well as in body mass index.

N2  - Men (n = 20) and women (n = 20) consuming a diet adequate in manganese were fed 54Mn 0.037 mBq. Data from days 10 to 20 and from days 19 to 70 were analysed by linear regression to calculate absorption and biological half-life. Men absorbed significantly less 54Mn than women, but the 54Mn absorbed had a longer half-life in men. Estimates of absorption were higher, and estimates of half-life were lower, when data from days 10 to 20 were used compared with days 19 to 70. There was a significant association between manganese absorption and plasma ferritin concentrations and between manganese absorption and biological half-life. It is concluded that men and women differ in manganese metabolism and that such differences may be related to iron status. It is also proposed that regression estimates of absorption using whole-body retention curves depend on the portion of the data used.

N2  - The effect of β-carotene depletion and repletion on the immune status of 9 healthy women who lived in a metabolic suite for 100 days was examined. For the first 4 days, all women were fed on a basal diet supplemented with β-carotene 1.5 mg/day (baseline). During the next 68 days, the basal diet without β-carotene supplementation was fed to all subjects (depletion), and during the last 28 days the diet of each woman was supplemented with β-carotene 15.0 mg/day (repletion). Neither β-carotene depletion nor repletion significantly (P≤0.05) altered proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured with phytohaemagglutinin or concanavalin A, in vitro production of soluble interleukin 2 receptor, or the concentration of circulating lymphocytes and their subsets. Thus, in healthy adults consuming adequate vitamin A, β-carotene depletion had no adverse effect on the indexes tested, nor was there any beneficial effect of modest β-carotene supplementation.

N2  - Ornithine and citrulline have different arginine-sparing capabilities when provided in an arginine-deficient diet. For 10 days rats were fed on arginine-deficient (0 g/kg, -Arg) diets containing alanine 77.4 g/kg (+Ala), ornithine (9.7 g/kg, +Orn) or citrulline (10.1 g/kg, +Cit) to see the effect on net fluxes of free arginine, ornithine and citrulline across the portal-drained viscera (PDV) and liver. A control diet contained arginine 10, alanine 57, ornithine 0 and citrulline 0 g/kg. Blood arginine concentrations were 50% lower than control values (P&lt;0.001) in rats fed on -Arg/+Ala or -Arg/+Orn. However, addition of citrulline to the arginine-deficient diet restored blood arginine concentrations. The source of circulating arginine in rats fed on -Arg/+Cit was neither the PDV nor the liver; net splanchnic uptake of arginine was 0.3µmol/min. Net citrulline release was substantial from the PDV (0.65µmol/min) as well as from the splanchnic bed (0.67µmol/min) of rats fed on -Arg/+Cit, such that blood citrulline concentrations were more than double (P&lt;0.001) those in rats fed on +Arg or -Arg/+Orn. Splanchnic release of citrulline in rats fed on -Arg/+Cit but not in rats fed on -Arg/+Orn supported the production of arginine in non-splanchnic organs such as, presumably, the kidney.

N2  - Some eucaryotic organisms, including many plants, yeast and mice, have a higher iron uptake during iron deficiency because the capacity to reduce Fe3+ from the environment to Fe2+ is greatly enhanced. To determine whether this occurs in rats, a common experimental model for Fe absorption in humans, the in vivo capacity to reduce intraluminal Fe3+ was compared in Fe-deficient and normal rats. The potential Fe3+-reducing components within the intestinal lumen and on the mucosal surface was also measured. Fe-reducing capacity was higher in Fe-deficient rats, by a significant (P=0.026) but modest 20%, in parallel with higher mucosal weight (R² = 0.501, P=0.003). In vitro Fe reduction by lumen contents was correlated with mucosal weight, even though mucosal tissue was not present in the assays. The capacity was not related to ascorbic acid, glutathione or other non-protein sulfhydryls. Mucosal ferric reductase activity was higher in Fe-deficient rats in parallel with higher tissue weight, but the specific activity did not differ and the higher total activity was not associated with the brush border fraction.

N2  - Most food toxicants have specific groups responsible for their deleterious effects. Modifying such sites with site-specific amino acids, peptides and proteins should lessen their toxicity. Sulfhydryl (SH) groups are particularly suited to achieve this objective because of their great reactivity. The chemical reactivities of SH compounds are much greater than would be expected from their pK values. This enhanced reactivity results from polarization of outer shell sulfur electrons; the availability of d-orbitals in the electronic structure of S, permitting d-orbital overlap during the formation of transition states; and the ability of S to act as a free-radical trap, whereby free electrons in highly reactive oxygen radicals are transferred or dissipated to S atoms. This review covers the biological utilization and safety of sulfur amino acids as well as possible approaches to mitigating adverse effects of representative food ingredients, based on the reactivity of the SH group with electrophilic centres. The latter include the double bond of the furan ring of aflatoxins to suppress mutagenicity, the double bond of dehydroalanine to prevent lysinoalanine formation, the conjugated system of quinones to inhibit nonenzymic and enzymic browning in potatoes and other foods, and the disulfide bonds of soyabean inhibitors of digestive enzymes to facilitate inactivation through SH-disulfide interchange. Possible benefits of these transformations for food safety, food quality, nutrition and health are discussed and areas for future research are highlighted.

N2  - This review discusses the role of the trace minerals, copper, chromium, iron and zinc and the effects of dietary intakes of these nutrients on risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). It concentrates mainly on effects in man, and only key animal studies are cited to substantiate trace mineral effects in CVD in man. It is concluded that insufficient intake of chromium and copper, coupled with ample intake of iron and possibly zinc, may be related to increased risks of CVD associated with eating westernized diets.

N2  - Vitamin A compounds (retinol and various retinyl esters) circulating in serum and stored in liver and other selected tissues of ferrets, were estimated using HPLC. Concentration of total retinyl esters in serum (43±1 µmol/litre) was 25 times greater than that of retinol (1.7±0.2 µmol/litre). In serum, 56% of retinyl esters was retinyl stearate. 33% was retinyl palmitate and 5% was retinyl oleate. In contrast, in liver, vitamin A was stored primarily as retinyl palmitate (51%); smaller amounts of retinyl oleate (129%) and retinyl stearate (16%) were found. In kidneys, adrenals, small intestine, adipose tissue, skin, stomach and eyes, retinyl palmitate was also the predominant retinyl ester, followed by retinyl stearate. In colon, lungs and bladder, equal amounts of retinyl palmitate and retinyl stearate were observed. Other retinyl esters present in smaller amounts in most of these tissues were retinyl oleate, retinyl linoleate and/or -myristate, retinyl heptadecanoate, retinyl arachidonate and retinyl laurate. Concentrations of total vitamin A in ferret serum and other tissues were 3 to 73 times greater than those reported for corresponding human tissues.

N2  - The proposed US Health Security Act will likely change the way farm businesses handle health insurance for themselves and hired farm workers. This report examines the impact of the proposed Act on farmers as employers, and as employees in off-farm jobs. Many farms do not hire labour, and for these, farm business costs will be unchanged. The average farm household is likely to see changes in insurance coverage from off-farm jobs and in expanded deductions for all-employment health insurance premiums.

N2  - Toxicological effects from pesticide residues in food, in general, may take decades to manifest chronic health effects. Questions continue to be raised about whether such risks are adequately understood and measured. Scientific advances are making it increasingly possible for risks associated with food to be measured, and new standards for food safety are being introduced. This paper looks at the situation in the USA, examining the federal agencies involved in regulating food safety and quality, looking at steps being taken to identify and control risks, and identifying the new types of regulations being introduced, including economic incentives. The challenge to improve food safety is expected to increase over the next decade, in particular due to the ageing population who place greater importance on food safety, being more at risk and also more able to pay for higher safety standards.

N2  - The US Department of Health and Human Services are continually examining ways to reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses. Regulatory actions come at a cost to government, industry, and consumers: these costs can in turn raise prices for consumers. However, greater safety may not cost significantly more if it can be achieved through stricter control of existing practices. Since a risk-free existence is not possible, society must decide how much it is willing to spend on public safety and where these dollars will have the greatest impact. The likelihood and severity of the risk, as well as its distribution in the population, are all factors to consider. This paper examines how benefits and risks associated with food safety can be measured and compared, and how consumers can decide on the optimal policy. The two approaches to estimating the benefits of reducing food-borne illness are described: (i) considering the benefits as costs avoided, and (ii) examining how much people have paid to avoid death and disease. The key to achieving the optimum balance between costs and risks associated with food safety is consumer information. An overview of the plethora of regulations which could be used for improving food safety is given.

N2  - In a 1992 US national survey by the University of Kentucky, primary household food shoppers revealed their opinions on food safety. Their top three concerns were, respectively, fats and cholesterol, bacterial food poisoning, and pesticide residues on food. This paper examines the current situation of food safety in the USA, focusing in particular on how consumers perceive it, using results from the survey. The paper examines the issue of whether the costs associated with ensuring food safety outweigh the risks, and also whether consumers would be willing to pay more money to reduce their risks from pesticide residues in particular. If consumers want stricter pesticide regulations imposed, they will have to share the increased costs to growers and other pesticide users either through higher food prices or through higher taxes.

N2  - In 1993, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a synthetically produced hormone for cows, recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST), which would enhance milk production. Consumer groups questioned the safety of milk and dairy products for human consumption from dairy cows receiving rbST, and some dairy suppliers and grocery stores indicated that they would not sell the products. This paper examines the current situation in the USA regarding the maintenance of safe and sufficient milk supplies, first examining the biotechnology affecting the sector, and then going on to examine human safety and the demand by consumers for informative labelling. The economic ramifications of rbST use are also covered.

N2  - One of the most contentious issues in the cash crop/food crop debate revolves around the impact of commercialization of agriculture on the health and nutritional status of women and children. This paper examines the effects of commercialization of agriculture on preschoolers' health and nutritional status. It also assesses the effects on women. It is typically assumed that increases in household income will ultimately result in health and nutritional benefits to individual household members. This income-mediated effect on health and nutrition operates through two main pathways. First, increased incomes can be used to purchase either a different mix of goods and services or more of the current market basket, for example, more access to health care, better housing and so forth. This new or increased market basket could produce a positive health effect. Second, income-food consumption linkages, by improving an individual household member's energy or other nutrient intake, could improve nutritional status, which in turn could improve health. Each of these pathways is examined. Case studies from a number of developing countries (Guatemala, India, Kenya, Malawi, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Zambia) are used to exemplify the situation. Results indicate that increased household income in rural areas based on agricultural growth, can make a major contribution to solving the hunger problem but that attention must also be paid to health, sanitation and environmental issues.

N2  - As a result of the GATT, major government subsidies to agricultural production will be reduced and trade barriers to agricultural imports will be lowered. At the same time, the agreement seeks to balance the benefits of reducing non-tariff barriers with assurances regarding protection of consumer safety. As incomes grow and populations age, consumers in industrialized countries demand a higher level of food safety. Exporters, including the USA, will have to meet safety standards in order to compete in these markets. Countries may be tempted to use safety standards to shield domestic producers from competition, and although the GATT addresses this issue, this does not result in immediate elimination. Harmonization of food import safety standards is discussed, along with level of protection, transparency, regionalization and dispute resolution.

N2  - Food quality, safety and nutrition issues are becoming increasingly prominent in the USA. The central food quality policy issue is assuring that consumers can purchase acceptably safe and nutritious foods. The major food quality policy issues are documented, and facts about microbial contaminants, protection from chemicals, nutrition and nutrition labelling, and new technologies are discussed. The policy background is then introduced, looking at administrative responsibility, food safety, policy instruments and nutrition. The economic and political dimensions of the major food policy areas are examined, and alternative policy approaches are put forward, including updating risk standards and encouraging private market approaches.

N2  - Two commercial serological kits (Oxoid BCET-RPLA and Tecra VIA) and a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cytotoxicity assay for the detection of Bacillus cereus diarrhoeal enterotoxin were compared. Eleven B. cereus strains and one enterotoxigenic B. thuringiensis strain were evaluated. Both kits and the CHO cell assay yielded positive toxin responses for cell-free culture filtrates from 8 out of 11 diarrhoeal enterotoxigenic strains. An emetic enterotoxin producing strain was negative with all 3 assays. Two B. cereus strains were negative using the BCET-RPLA kit, but positive with the Tecra VIA kit and CHO cell assay. The BCET-RPLA indicated significant levels of enterotoxin after samples were boiled, whereas the CHO cell and Tecra assays were negative. Overall, the cell culture assay was the most sensitive. However, the Tecra VIA kit provided similar results and was better suited for the rapid detection of B. cereus diarrhoeal enterotoxin.

N2  - The phylloquinone (vitamin K1) content of 5 foods (vegetable juice, whole milk, raw spinach leaves, bagel and raw minced beef) was determined by applying a highly sensitive HPLC method that incorporates post-column chemical reduction of the quinone followed by fluorescence detection of the hydroquinone form of the vitamin. After initial extraction in 2-propanol and hexane, food extracts were purified by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on silica gel and analysed by HPLC or, depending on the matrix, further purified using liquid-phase reductive extraction or reversed-phase SPE on C18. Intra- and inter-day precision of the assay ranged from 6.6 to 13.6%. The between-sample CV in the phylloquinone content of 10 random bulk samples ranged from 7.8 to 44.6%, depending on the food item analysed. Mean phylloquinone concentration (µg/100 g) was 4.7 for vegetable juice, 0.3 for whole milk, 299.5 for spinach, 0.39 for bagel and 2.7 for minced beef. Endogenous dihydrophylloquinone was identified in foods containing hydrogenated oils, although its biological activity is unknown.

N2  - A Trichomalopsis sp. near americana was colonized from eastern Nebraska, USA, and was evaluated for its potential as a biological control agent against house flies [Musca domestica]. Maturation within the host puparium required 13 days at 30°C and 16 days at 25°C. Essentially no maturation occurred at 20°C, and 10 days at 20°C was sufficient to induce arrested development in the 3rd instar in about 67% of the parasites. Trichomalopsis sp. is gregarious and prefers to oviposit repeatedly on single hosts even when other hosts are readily available. Females are capable of producing 10-12 eggs per day and a total of about 110 eggs when adequate hosts and a carbohydrate source are available. This species is not considered to have high potential as a biological control agent because of its preference to sting only 2-3 hosts per day, its relatively low fecundity, and its low incidence in nature.

N2  - The 10-year Plan for the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program calls for research related to dietary data collection and interpretation and for improved data dissemination. The US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Information Service has released data from the l989 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and is planning for the next one. Respondent burden will be reduced. The sample is designed for improved estimates of dietary intakes for children and elderly individuals. An automated coding system will contribute to improved data management. Current research projects include developing data collection strategies in a cognitive research laboratory, exploring alternative interview structures for children, and developing methods to estimate the distributors of usual intakes of nutrients and foods. Priorities for further research and development are applying cognitive psychology research techniques to improve accuracy of responses, ensuring the temporal validity of food-composition databases, and developing the probability approach for assessing dietary adequacy.

N2  - The effect of ascorbic acid supplementation on apparent iron absorption was tested in women with low Fe stores. For 10 weeks, 25 healthy nonpregnant women, aged 20-45 years with low serum ferritin (3.3-17.7 µg/litre) consumed a diet with predicted poorly available Fe or a typical Western diet, classified according to dietary meat and ascorbic acid contents. Meals were supplemented with ascorbic acid (500 g 3 times daily) for 5 of the 10 weeks, in a double-blind, crossover design. Ascorbic acid did not affect most biochemical indexes of Fe status, the biological half-life of 59Fe, or apparent Fe absorption (diet-faeces) from either diet, but slightly increased serum ferritin (11.9 vs. 10.7 µg/litre), when data from both these diets were combined. The results support other evidence that ascorbic acid has less effect on Fe availability than had been predicted from tests with single meals.

N2  - Effects of dietary and physical stresses on chromium metabolism and nutrition in man and farm livestock are reviewed. Stress leads to increased Cr losses in man and may lead to higher Cr requirements. Stress-induced higher Cr requirements have been documented in livestock. While dietary stress can be controlled quite closely, environmental stresses including temperature, humidity and pathogens often vary considerably. External pathogens as well as pathogens and toxins found in foods and feeds could lead to altered levels of stress.

N2  - Antioxidants have been linked to protection against degenerative diseases associated with ageing. Plasma concentrations were estimated for and 7-day diet records collected from 200 women and 231 men 20-95 years old who took part in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (USA). Men consumed more vitamin A from animal sources and less from vegetable sources than did women. These sex differences are reflected in plasma concentrations of retinol and β-carotene. About 20% of subjects had vitamin A intakes less than the recommended dietary allowances; however, no men and only 2 women had marginal plasma retinol concentrations. Older people had higher plasma α-tocopherol, which correlated with total intake. 42 men and 35 women had plasma α-tocopherol concentrations that were considered marginal. Sex differences in sources of dietary and plasma vitamin A may have consequences in relation to ageing and longevity. Apparent marginal intakes and plasma concentrations of vitamin E need to be further examined to determine effects on health status.

N2  - The effects of endurance exercise on fat-free mass (FFM) and nitrogen balance, with energy restriction or with energy intake to meet non-exercise needs, were evaluated in 10 obese women 19 to 37 years old. The study was a 14-week metabolic control study with a 2-week baseline period for dietary stabilization followed by a 12-week period of exercise (E) without or with energy restriction (D), E or D + E. The amount of blood drawn over the duration of the study averaged 500 g and 600 g for E and D + E, respectively. The data indicated that E had a slower rate of weight loss and a lower loss of FFM than D + E. N balance was more positive in E than D + E. Negative N balance occurred in the D + E group when blood was drawn. There was no decrease in N excretion to compensate for blood losses. N balance for E was positive throughout the study. The results demonstrated that body protein stores remained intact during periods of increased energy expenditure and dietary restriction in obese women.

N2  - A study was conducted to examine whether the differences between the procedures and nutrient databases used in the 1977-1978 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (1977-78 NFCS) carried out in the USA and those used in the 1987-88 NFCS could notably affect estimated mean nutrient intakes. The study took place in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, USA. Subjects were 697 women 20 to 49 years old. Group A was interviewed using 1987-88 NFCS 24-h recall procedures and their nutrient intakes were calculated using the 1987-88 NFCS food codes, weight conversion factors and nutrient database. Group B was interviewed using 1977-78 NFCS 24-h recall procedures and nutrient intakes were calculated 4 ways using various combinations of 1987-88 and 1977-78 NFCS food codes, weight conversions and nutrient database. Mean intakes of food energy and 14 nutrients were estimated. Results showed that changes in the nutrient database caused by improved analytic techniques and increased number of foods sampled were great enough to warrant revising the 1977-78 NFCS estimated intakes for iron, magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12. Changes in intake of fat, vitamin A and thiamin, however, were caused by real changes in foods so no revisions were necessary for these nutrients. Other nutrients were unaffected. When considering changes in nutrient intake over time, it is important to correct the earlier food composition estimates so that they accurately reflect the composition of foods at the time they were consumed. This requires preserving the real differences in the composition of foods while correcting for artificial differences attributable to improvements in the quality of nutrient data.

N2  - A nationally mandated seafood safety system recently announced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to strengthen safety standards as well as to enhance consumer confidence in seafood products. US seafood consumption has fallen in recent years, due partly to declining relative prices for poultry and red meat, but also because of safety concerns. To address safety concerns, the FDA is proposing to use a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point system (HACCP) to bolster its seafood safety programme. HACCP, a system of safety controls that focuses on prevention of product contamination at strategic points in the production and marketing process, would be added to FDA's current inspection regimen. The GATT supports the HACCP system, as many countries move toward HACCP-based standards for domestic and imported seafoods. For the USA, the world's largest seafood exporter, implementation of HACCP would help keep domestic products competitive on the world market.

N2  - In September 1993, the Clinton administration introduced a proposal to overhaul the laws governing pesticide regulation in the USA. In unprecedented cooperation on this issue, the Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Agriculture, and Food and Drug Administration jointly developed the proposal. The proposal addresses the public concern that current regulation allows unacceptable health and environmental risks from pesticide use. Proposed policy changes would remove inconsistencies in the way government agencies regulate pesticides. At least three problems plague the current system of pesticide regulation: inconsistent statutes regulating fresh and processed foods, delays in reregistering old pesticides to ensure compliance with current health and environmental standards, and lack of consumer confidence in the ability of the system to limit health and environmental risks. This paper examines these problems before going on to look at the proposals for pesticide policy reform, and at the preparations being made in anticipation of the changes.

N2  - There is considerable discussion about government regulation of economic activity in the USA. Many of today's regulations of markets and the public services supporting the marketing of farm products have their roots in the 1880s to 1920s. This chapter focuses on the historical development of regulatory and public market services in five areas: railroads, antitrust, food safety and quality, marketing practices, and marketing services. In reviewing these historical vignettes, it is argued that regulation of economic activities has a history as long as the existence of governments, and that governments have both facilitated and controlled various economic activities not only through regulation, but also through market services, subsidies, and direct investment.

N2  - Small fragments of micro-organisms which elicit protective immune responses have now been identified for several disease-causing agents. This major advance has made it possible to envisage the chemical synthesis of vaccines which could replace those in current use and may also furnish products which cannot be made by traditional methods. The author illustrates the principles involved by describing the advances made with synthetic vaccines for foot-and-mouth disease, hepatitis B and malaria.AS

N2  - IgM and IgG capture ELISAs were used as possible adjuncts to haemagglutination inhibition (HI) and virus neutralization (VN) tests to differentiate between reaction to recent exposure to eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) virus and those due to prior vaccination. Serum samples were evaluated by the IgM-capture ELISA, and the results were compared with those of HI and VN tests. Of 381 serum samples 51% (195 samples) were positive by HI test (≥1:40) and 54% (205 samples) were positive by VN test (≥1:10), but only 35% (132 samples) were positive by IgM-capture ELISA (≥1:100). With only a few exceptions, the sera with IgG ELISA titres had a VN titre of ≥1:100. When EEE virus isolation and serology were compared, the EEE cases were divided into the following categories: peracute cases - the serum was negative for EEE IgM and IgG by the ELISA, negative for VN antibody, but HI antibody positive; acute cases - IgM and HI antibody positive but negative for IgG and VN antibody; transitional cases - positive for IgM and IgG antibodies, HI titres of 1:40-1:160, and VN titres of ≥1:100. IgM antibodies of EEE virus were monospecific and did not cross-react with western or Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis viral antigens by the ELISA. Isolation of EEE virus from tissue or detection of IgM antibodies to EEE virus in a single serum sample is evidence of recent EEE infection and differentiated serum from previously vaccinated horses. However, the presence of IgM in the absence of virus isolation could also be due to a recent viral vaccination.

N2  - Twenty-four 5-month-old battery-hatched Japanese quail were inoculated orally with 105 (ME 49 strain, group A, 6 birds), 10³ (ME 49 strain, group B, 6 birds), 105 (GT-1 strain, group C, 6 birds) and 10³ (GT-1 strain, group D, 6 birds) Toxoplasma gondii oocysts. All birds in group C died or were killed within 8 days after inoculation (DAI). Five of the 6 birds in group D died or were killed 8, 9, 15, 19, and 23 DAI. One of the quail in group A died 9 DAI, and 1 of the 6 birds in group D died 16 DAI. The 11 quail (1 from group D and 10 from groups A and B) were killed 63 DAI; T. gondii was isolated by bioassays in mice from the brains of 10, hearts of 10, and skeletal muscles of all 11 quail. Quail that survived marked small intestinal and splenic toxoplasmosis lived long enough to develop severe protozoal pneumonia, myocarditis, or meningoencephalitis. The quail that survived only to be examined at 63 DAI had moderate multifocal non purulent encephalitis and myositis and had a hypertrophic spleen that contained haemosiderin-laden macrophages. Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were found in the sera of all quail examined 63 DAI. Antibody titres to T. gondii in the modified agglutination test were higher than in the indirect haemagglutination and latex agglutination tests. Antibodies were not detected in quail sera examined by the Sabin-Feldman dye test.

N2  - Improved recoveries and detectability of 3 sulfonamides from chicken tissues by supercritical fluid extraction (SPE), without modifiers, using an in-line adsorption trap, are reported. Following SPE, the analytes were recovered from neutral alumina with the HPLC mobile phase. Samples were injected directly onto high-performance liquid chromatographic columns without post-extraction cleanup. Mean recoveries of sulfamethazine, and sulfaquinoxaline from liver, breast tissue, and thigh muscle are 89, 95, and 77%, respectively. The analytes are detectable at less than 100 ppb with a minimum of background interference.

AB  - Recent experimental studies have shown that well-annealed, unstrained Si(1 0 5) surfaces appear disordered and atomically rough when imaged using scanning tunnelling microscopy. We construct new models for the Si(1 0 5) surface that are based on single- and double-height steps separated by Si(0 0 1) terraces, and propose that the observed surface disorder of Si(1 0 5) originates from the presence of several structural models with different atomic-scale features but similar energies. This degeneracy can be removed by applying compressive strains, a result that is consistent with recent observations of the structure of the Ge/Si(1 0 5) surface. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Chemical sprout inhibitors are applied to over 50% of the potato harvest to extend storage time. In the U.S.A., CIPC (1-methylethyl-3-chlorophenylcarbamate) is the only synthetic chemical registered for postharvest sprout control of stored potatoes, and it is the most widely used sprout inhibitor world-wide. Due to environmental and health safety concerns, the use of CIPC has become more restricted, and alternative sprout control methods are sought. Six bacteria strains, exhibiting superior dry rot suppressiveness in previous research, were grown in two different liquid culture media and sprayed on Russet Burbank potatoes. In growth chamber and pilot experiments repeated at two storage sites in two successive years, all six isolates demonstrated significant sprout control capabilities when applied after growth on at least one of the culture media supplied. Of the six strains tested, Pseudomonas fluorescens by. V S11:P:12 and two strains of Enterobacter sp., S11:T:07 and S11:P:08, exhibited highest relative performance levels with sprout control being statistically similar to that of 16.6 ppm CIPC thermaI fog after 4-5 months storage.

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: The purpose of this project was to determine the effect of dexamethasone (DEX) treatment of tuberculous cows on antigen-stimulated gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) production in a commercial Mycobacterium bovis gamma-interferon test (gamma-IFN test) developed for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis. In the gamma-IFN test an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used to detect bovine gamma-IFN in the plasma from whole blood samples cultured with M. bovis and Mycobacterium avium tuberculin purified protein derivatives (PPDs). DEX is a synthetic glucocorticoid commonly used as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, and experimentally as a model of stress-induced immunosuppression in cattle. DEX treatment has previously been associated with decreased lymphocyte response to mitogens in cattle, which led to the current hypothesis that DEX treatment would suppress stimulated gamma-IFN production resulting in false negative results in the gamma-IFN test. In replicate studies using naturally infected dairy cows, blood was drawn daily for at least 2 days prior to DEX treatment, during 3 days of DEX treatment, and for at least 9 days post-DEX. Results of the gamma-IFN test were evaluated by optical density (OD), and by three OD calculation methods: two different methods suggested by the manufacturer, and a method adapted from the evaluation of a bovine gamma-IFN test used in Australia. Prior to DEX treatment all cows had positive gamma-IFN tests by each calculation method. As early as 24 h after the first DEX injection a decline in PPD-stimulated gamma-IFN production was reflected in OD data for all cows. Calculated gamma-IFN test results were negative after DEX treatment for all but one cow, which was known to produce relatively large amounts of gamma-IFN as measured by this test. The degree of gamma-IFN suppression, and the number of days that gamma-IFN test results were negative after DEX treatment (1-8 days), varied by cow and by data calculation method. Treatment with DEX is associated with suppressed PPD-stimulated gamma-IFN production, which may be reflected as false negative results in the gamma-IFN test depending on the data calculation method applied. The results have implications for the management conditions and medical treatment schedule under which samples for the gamma-IFN test are collected

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Infection of horses with the hemoprotozoan Babesia equi has been reported in southern Florida, US Virgin Islands, part of Asia, Russia, India, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, Central America, Mexico, Philippine Islands and some Caribbean islands. The restrictions placed on the international movement of infected horses has refocused attention on potential methods to control or eliminate infection. Don Knowles here discusses the primary chemotherapeutic compounds that have been used; the current knowledge concerning immune responses that potentially contribute to control of the parasite, and the development of infection of severe combined immuno-deficient foals as a model to dissect potential mechanisms of immunological control

AB  - Globalization of labor and capital can increase the rate and extent of global environmental degradation, while enhancing the ability of ecologists to respond rapidly and collaboratively to mitigate these impacts. Nevertheless, ecological research remains focused at local and regional levels, with collaboration limited by national borders and funding. New initiatives are required to increase the utility and availability of environmental research to natural resource owners, managers, and policy makers in the public and private sectors, whose decisions affect land and other forms of natural capital. We propose a four-part strategy to increase the effectiveness of ecological science in addressing environmental issues in an era of globalization: (1) develop an Ecological Knowledge System, (2) increase our ability to anticipate, identify, and rapidly address new research needs, (3) increase the number and diversity of participants in all phases of research and decision-making processes, and (4) increase the flexibility of funding sources.

AB  - La globalización de la fuerza de trabajo y del capital puede aumentar el índice y el grado de degradación ambiental global y al mismo tiempo mejorar la capacidad de los ecólogos para mitigar sus efectos negativos. Sin embargo, la investigación ecológica sigue enfocada a una escala local fuera del contexto global, y la colaboración profesional y de investigación está seriamente limitada por fronteras nacionales y por falta de financiamiento. Se requieren nuevas iniciativas para aumentar la utilidad y la disponibilidad de la investigación ambiental a los dueños, a los encargados y a los políticos a cargo del manejo y conservación de recursos naturales en los sectores públicos y privados, cuyas decisiones afectan las tierras y otras formas del capital natural de un país. Con el fin de aumentar la eficacia de las ciencias ecológicas para tratar con los temas ambientales en una era de globalización, proponemos una estrategia compuesta por cuatro partes: (1) El desarrollo de un Sistema de Conocimientos Ecológicos (EKS), (2) El incremento de nuestra capacidad de anticipar, identificar y atender rápidamente nuevas necesidades dentro de la investigación, (3) El aumento del número y la diversidad de participantes en todas las fases de los procedimientos de la investigación y la toma de decisiones, y (4) El aumento de la sensibilidad y la flexibilidad de las fuentes de financiamiento hacia este tipo de investigación ecológica enfocada a resolver problemas multidisciplinarios concretos.

N2  - The complete sequence (15 455 bp) of the mitochondrial DNA of the mosquito A. quadrimaculatus species A is reported. This genome is compact and very A + T rich (77.4% A + T). It contains genes for 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 13 subunits of the mitochondrial inner membrane respiratory complexes. The gene arrangement is the same as in Drosophila yakuba, except that the positions of 2 contiguous tRNAs are reversed and a 3rd tRNA is transcribed from the complementary strand. Protein-coding genes, rRNAs, and most tRNAs were similar to D. yakuba. 2 tRNAs had nonstandard secondary structures comparable with those of nematode mitochondrial tRNAs. The very small putative control region (625 bp) contains no sequence motifs similar to those used in vertebrates and other insects for initiation of transcription and replication.

N2  - ELISA experiments revealed that an antiserum raised against an achetakinin-analogue could specifically detect the recently isolated Culekinin Depolarizing Peptide (CDP) -II from C. salinarius. The characterization indicated that 2 different epitopes in the C-terminal region of achetakinin I and CDP-II were recognized. CDP-II, isolated from a whole body extract, was shown to be a neuropeptide, and it is suggested that its function is neuromodulating or neurotransmitting rather than neurohormonal.

N2  - A generic Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan for beef slaughter and processing is presented in the USA. The plan reviews the general steps of slaughter operations and includes an overview of key aspects of animal management that significantly affect the ultimate microbiological safety of raw beef products. General guidance is also given for developing plant-specific programmes. The epidemiology of foodborne diseases associated with raw beef and its microbiological profile are discussed. Regulating and validating the HACCP process is described. Procedures for improving microbial control and preventing contamination are discussed. Appendices cover general sanitation controls for beef slaughter and fabrication operations, and guidelines for handling raw beef products both by retailers and consumers.

N2  - The effects of dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA) on the indices of lipid and coagulation status and on the fatty acid composition of serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMNC) lipids were examined in 10 healthy men (21-37 years old) who consumed all their meals at the Western Human Nutrition Research Center (San Francisco, USA) for 126 days. There was a stabilization period of 14 days at the start when all 10 subjects consumed the basal diet (BD) containing 23.4% of energy (en%) as fat and 2 intervention periods of 56 days each. During the first intervention period, 5 subjects consumed the BD containing 23.4 en% as fat, and 5 subjects consumed a diet providing 6.3 en% as α-linolenic acid (flaxseed oil (FSO) diet containing 28.8 en% fat). Diets were crossed over between the 2 groups during the second intervention period. Feeding the FSO diet did not significantly alter serum triglycerides, cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, apoprotein A-I and apoprotein B compared with the corresponding values in the subjects fed on the BD, nor was there any effect of the FSO diet on the bleeding time, prothrombin time and partial prothrombin time for these subjects. Feeding the ALA-containing diet did cause a significant increase in ALA concentration in serum (P&lt;0.001) and PBMNC lipids (P&lt;0.05). It also caused a significant increase (P&lt;0.05) in the eicosapentaenoic and docosapentaenoic acid contents of PBMNC lipids, and a decrease (P&lt;0.01).

N2  - The long-term recall of height, weight and body build was examined as part of a 1988 follow-up of the Boston-based Third Harvard Growth Study (1922-1935). By design, about 50% of subjects had body mass indices during adolescence of greater than the 75th percentile, and about 50% had body mass indices between the 25th and 50th percentiles. Interviewed subjects, 71-76 years old (n = 181) were asked to recall their high school height and weight and to select outline drawings that best reflected their body size at ages 5, 10, 15, and 20 years old. Reports at 71-76 years old were compared with measurements obtained during childhood and adolescence. High school weight was overestimated by men who were lean as adolescents (mean recalled minus measured difference = 2.5 kg, 95 percent confidence interval 0.78-4.3) and underestimated by women who were obese as adolescents (mean difference = -2.3 kg, 95 percent confidence interval -4.8 to 0.21). Pearson crude correlations between recalled body build and body mass index measured at about the same ages were between 0.53 and 0.75 for all ages studied except for a correlation of 0.36 among men at 5 years old. Adjustment for current body mass index only slightly reduced the correlations between adolescent body mass index and recalled build. Adolescent obesity, classifications based on indicators derived from recalled weight and build had moderate sensitivities (37-57%) and high specificities (98-100%). Results indicate that the remote recall of height, weight and body size can contribute useful information independent of current weight status.

N2  - A gas chromatographic (GC) procedure is described for the determination of dibutylamine (DBA) in ham at less than 1 ppm. Sample is extracted with 0.5 N HCl, centrifuged, made basic, and then extracted with isopropyl alcohol. Final determination is by GC/thermal energy analysis in the nitrogen mode. 6 replicate analyses of ham fortified with 0.5 ppm DBA gave a recovery of 90.2±3.4%. Over a range of 0.5 to 3.0 ppm DBA, the repeatability was 0.07 ppm, and the coefficient of variation was 6.07%. Limit of detection was 0.1 ppm. Effectiveness of the procedure was demonstrated on selected ham samples.

N2  - Oxalobacter formigenes, an anaerobic bacterium that degrades oxalate to CO2 and formate, colonises the intestinal tracts of man and other animals. The large intestines of laboratory rats were experimentally colonised with a strain of O. formigenes to examine effects of these bacteria on the fate of dietary oxalate. When rats (n = 6) were fed a standard rat diet plus 2% sodium oxalate, urinary oxalate excretion was not significantly changed following inoculation and colonisation with O. formigenes. There was a consistent trend towards less oxalate excretion in faeces of rats after they became colonised with O. formigenes, but differences between colonised and non-colonised states were not significant. In an isotope recovery study, when rats were orally dosed with [14C]oxalate, the percentage of 14C in expired CO2 from 3 colonised rats was 10-fold greater than from 3 non-colonised rats. Although 14C excretion in faeces was decreased 3-fold in the group of colonised rats, 14C activity in the urine of colonised and non-colonised rats was not significantly different. Thus, although O. formigenes colonised and degraded oxalate in the rat intestinal tract, under conditions of these experiments, this colonisation did not markedly influence urinary oxalate excretion.

N2  - To investigate the early steps of infection, the ability of poliovirus and FMDV to infect cells following binding through an alternative receptor was examined using a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line expressing the B2 isoform of the murine Fc receptor (FcR). Both viruses were able to bind to this cell line in an antibody-dependent manner, but only FMDV was able productively to infect these cells following binding through the FcR. It is suggested that the natural poliovirus receptor has dual functions in binding and destabilizing the virus particle, whereas the putative FMDV receptor may only be necessary for virion binding. These findings are consistent with differences in virion architecture which predict a more intimate virion-receptor association for poliovirus than for FMDV.

N2  - This book was developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry at the 203rd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, San Francisco, CA, 5-10 Apr., 1992. After a short introduction giving an overview of the use of essential oils in medicine, perfumes and flavourings, plant-insect interactions, bacterial growth inhibition and effects on motor activity, the remaining 19 chapters of the book are grouped into 3 sections. The first section consists of 5 papers on the theme, biogenesis and biochemistry, which cover the following subjects: phytoprotective conifer monoterpenes and the chemical ecology of bark beetles; the role of volatile compounds in tomato flavour; flavour and fragrance molecules which attract or repel insects, including Musca domestica, Aedes eyptae [A. aegypti], Psychodidae and Coleoptera; volatile compounds in black, oolong and green tea; and the antimicrobial activity of green tea flavour components on Streptococcus mutans, Propionibacterium acnes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli. The second section, about essential oils, consists of 6 chapters on the topics: essential oils from the genus Eucalyptus and related genera; qualitative and quantitative analyses of lemon and lime essential oils; volatiles of Japanese marine brown algae (Laminaliaceae, Alariaceae, Dictyotaceae, Scytosiphonaceace, Chordariaceae) which act as gamete-attracting substances, constituents of ocean smell and as flavours; aroma profiles of Citrus limone [C. limon], C. aurantifolia [C. aurantiifolia], C. sudachi, C. sphaerocarpa, C. aurantium and C. junos peel oils; trace components in Mentha cardiaca [M. gracilis] oil as contributors to flavour; and the use of sedative properties of essential oils (particularly lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, oil) in aromatherapy. The last section, concerning flowers, consists of 8 chapters describing methods for trapping and analysis of volatile compounds from flowers, and has individual chapters on the scent and volatile compounds of apricot, strawberry, orchid, rose and medicinal plant flowers. A subject index, author index and author's affiliation index are provided.

N2  - Sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup was dissolved in an equal weight of 5% sub-boiling-distilled HNO3 for direct analysis by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), using a Perkin-Elmer Model 5100PC spectrometer with Zeeman background correction, AS-60 autosampler and HGA-600 furnace. The injection volume was 20 µl, and 5 µl of 2% Mg(NO3)2.6H2O was used as matrix modifier. The method used air ashing and platform atomization, with quantitation via measurement of the peak area at 283.3 nm; a linear calibration graph was obtained using 4 standards containing 10-100 µg Pb/litre. Conditions for each stage of the optimized GFAAS procedure are tabulated. With an instrumental detection limit of 10 pg, the detection limit of the method was ~0.9 ng Pb/g for sugar or syrup. The method was validated using samples of sucrose and syrup spiked with known amounts of Pb; recovery varied from 93 to 111%, averaging 101%. The method offers an excellent alternative to the time-consuming, reagent-intensive wet ash digestion procedure, which gave similar accuracy (100±5%) and somewhat better precision (4% RSD compared with 6%).

N2  - The temperature dependence of spore viability loss of E. aedis was determined in vitro and in vivo. Viability of spores was measured, in vitro, by percentage germination in 0.1 M KCl at pH 10.5 and, in vivo, by percentage infection of A. aegypti larvae exposed for 24 h to 10³ spores/ml. Spores retained their infectivity for up to 30 days during storage at 10-20°C, whereas at 0, 5, and 40°C, infectivity was lost in &lt;24 h. At all storage temperatures tested, the ability of spores to at least partially germinate persisted beyond their ability to infect mosquito larvae. Developmental stages of the parasite in eggs or larvae were not detrimentally affected by a 24-h treatment at 5°C. These results indicate that spore viability is lost due to an inability to germinate rather than the death of the sporoplasm.

N2  - Spiroplasma strain MQ-1T (T = type strain) from the haemolymph of M. quadridens (collected in Maryland, USA) differed serologically from other spiroplasma species, groups and subgroups. Cells of strain MQ-1T were helical and motile and possessed a single cytoplasmic membrane, with no evidence of a cell wall. The organism grew in conventional mycoplasma medium, in serum fraction, SM-1, M1D and SP-4 liquid media, and on SP-4 solid medium in either aerobic or anaerobic environments. The optimum temperature for growth was 32°C, but multiplication occurred over a wide temperature range (10 to 37°C). The doubling time at 32°C in M1D medium was 1.9 h. Strain MQ-1T catabolized glucose but hydrolysed neither arginine nor urea. Previous work showed that strain MQ-1T has a unique methylase, previously known only in eukaryotes. Also, strain MQ-1T induces production of tumour necrosis factor in bone marrow macrophages. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the DNA was 28±1 mol%. The genome size of strain MQ-1T was 940 kb (627 MDa); a similar strain, MQ-8, had a genome size of 985 kb (657 MDa). Strain MQ-1T and its allies have the smallest genomes known in the genus Spiroplasma. Strain MQ-1 (= ATCC 33825) is designated the type strain of a new species, S. monobiae sp. nov.

N2  - At least some anthranilates (e.g. methyl anthranilate) and acetophenones (e.g. orthoaminoacetophenone) are aversive to mice as well as to birds. 9 acetophenone isomers (ortho, meta, para) and moieties (amino, hydroxy, methoxy) previously tested as drinking and feeding repellents for European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were systematically examined. All 9 substances reduced intake by mice in single-bottle tests. When molecular characteristics were examined, amino group reactivity and, to a lesser extent, isomeric position (i.e. resonance), were related to the strength of the avoidance response. Unlike effective avian repellents, the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds did not appear to affect avoidance responding.

N2  - The inactivation of L. monocytogenes during the thermal processing of liver sausage was studied. Liver sausage emulsion was prepared and inoculated with L. monocytogenes Scott A to yield an initial population of ~ 109/g. The inoculated emulsion was stuffed into large diam., moisture-proof fibrous casings and cooked in a smokehouse. Individual sausages were removed as the product reached various predetermined internal temperatures, and duplicate core samples were analysed for viable L. monocytogenes by surface plating onto tryptose agar. The viable count remained unchanged in products heated to 140°F. In produce heated to 145°F, the number of viable L. monocytogenes decreased and at 155°F, no viable L. monocytogenes were detected. Thus, liver sausage and other large. diam. non-fermented sausage products heated to 155°F should be free of viable L. monocytogenes.

N2  - An update of the authors' 1987 literature review of vitamin requirements of elderly people [American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1987), 45, 501-512] is presented. Poor dietary intake is the cause of much vitamin malnutrition in elderly people. Nevertheless, there is strong evidence that aging affects the requirement for certain vitamins. The 1989 recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) appear to be too low for elderly people for vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, and too high for vitamin A. For several vitamins there is enough information to establish an RDA for the category ≥70 years.

N2  - From weaning, 44 male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a diet with fructose as the only carbohydrate and deficient (0.6 µg/g) or adequate (6 µg/g) in copper to appetite or restricted to obtain a growth rate similar to that of female rats of the same age. At 46 or 71 days, rats were deprived of food for 124 h and then killed. Rats given the deficient diet to appetite showed severe signs of Cu deficiency (2 died) and were killed at 46 days with 5 from each of the other groups. Rats given the deficient diet in restricted amounts survived to 71 days. All rats on the deficient diet were clearly Cu deficient based on direct estimations of Cu status in blood and liver, and all had liver hypertrophy, hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia. Rats on the deficient diet in restricted amounts showed less severe Cu deficiency than did those on the deficient diet to appetite and none died.

N2  - For 14 weeks, 11 women and 8 men 22 to 65 years old ate a controlled well-balanced diet so that energy requirements could be estimated. Any changes in weight greater than 900 g weekly were corrected by changing energy intake. The subjects then chose their diet freely and collected a duplicate sample of all foods and beverages consumed on a weekday. Derived nutrient intake was calculated by multiplying the nutrient content of daily food composites of the freely chosen individual diets by the measured energy requirement. Energy, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc were estimated in paired samples of all foods and beverages. The results suggest that a combination of the duplicate plate technique and measured energy intake provides a more accurate method of estimating actual nutrient intake than the duplicate plate method alone.

N2  - The development of a carotenoid food composition database with values for the 5 most commonly occurring carotenoids in fruits and vegetables is described. An artificial intelligence system was developed to evaluate data for carotenoid content of food in the following general categories, number of samples, analytical method, sample handling, sampling plan and analytical quality control. Within these categories, criteria were created to rate analytical data for β-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, lycopene and β-cryptoxanthin in fruits and vegetables. Acceptable values for each carotenoid in the foods were combined to generate a database of 120 foods. The database includes the food description, median, minimum and maximum values for the specific carotenoids in each food, number of acceptable values and their references and a confidence code as an indicator of the reliability of a specific carotenoid value for a food. The database can be used to estimate the intake of specific carotenoids in order to examine the association between dietary carotenoids and incidence of disease.

N2  - A database for carotenoid content of individual and multicomponent foods [Journal of the American Dietetic Association (1993) 93, 284-296] was used to estimate intakes of specific carotenoids of 1102 women, 19 to 50 years old, living in the USA. Food intake data were obtained from dietary recalls in the US Department of Agriculture Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals, 1986. Main contributors of α-carotene were carrots consumed as a single food or as an ingredient in multicomponent foods. Carrots, cantaloupe and broccoli were the main sources of β-carotene. Orange juices and blends, oranges and tangerines were important contributors of β-cryptoxanthin. Tomatoes and tomato products provided most dietary lycopene. Lutein plus zeaxanthin were supplied by collard, mustard, turnip greens, spinach and broccoli. Intake of total carotenoids was about 6 mg daily.

N2  - Of 605 US college students of mean age 21.1±0.35 years who took part in a food perception study, 418 were used in the development of a food perception questionnaire, 31 in pretesting the questionnaire and 156 in its final administration. Students listed food consumed most frequently and the food attributes which described them. Foods and attributes were tallied and those cited most frequently formed the foundation of the food similarity and attribute ratings of the questionnaire. Similarity rating scales were based on pairwise comparisons of 23 foods; there were 10 attribute rating scales of each of the 23 foods and there were 30 scales to assess response reliability. Data were analysed statistically and Spearman's rank order correlation coefficients were calculated between the coordinates of 23 foods on a specified dimension and the median ratings for a specified attribute pair for the same stimuli. A 3-dimensional solution was selected. Dimension 1 (functional properties) may imply the primary vs. secondary food dichotomy [American Journal of Clinical (1967) 20, 279-281]. Dimension 2 (health properties) was correlated most closely with nutritive value, energy value, goodness, processing and biologic origin. Processed/unprocessed and inconvenient/convenient qualities were most significantly correlated with dimension 3 (technological properties).

N2  - 4 women (149-160% of ideal weight, 32-42 years old) were monitored for 6 weeks of weight maintenance, 12 weeks of energy restriction (1000-1200 kcal/day) and 6 weeks of maintaining reduced body weights. To observe the effects of dietary protein levels in the weight reducing diet on changes in body composition and energy stores, the restriction diet of 2 women was reduced 50% for all macronutrients while that of the remaining 2 women was reduced about 60% in fat and carbohydrate while maintaining protein intake at the prerestriction level. Body composition changes were monitored with bioelectric analyzers as well as the traditional density and deuterium dilution techniques. Maintaining daily protein intakes at the prerestriction quantities did not affect lean body tissue losses nor body weight losses, 9.6 to 19.0 kg/person for the study. Minimal changes in resting metabolic rates were consistent with minimal changes in lean body mass. The total body electrical conductivity instrument and the underwater weighing-density method yielded similar body composition changes during weight loss.

N2  - Validity and reproducibility of the Nutrition Evaluation Scale System (NESSy), a computerized quantitative dietary method, was examined when used by young men and women with varying levels of education. 12 male and 9 female volunteers, 23-36 years old, recorded their food intake for 14 days with NESSy under controlled conditions. Systematic bias was examined by an independent validity check (surreptitious weighing of dietary intake by trained dietary staff), and reproducibility was assessed by measuring NESSy's ability to provide the same intake estimate for an individual across 2 similar time periods. Neither educational level nor gender was found to be a biasing factor, nor was the mean of the differences significantly different between the 2 methods for energy and most nutrients. Intraclass correlations (rI) between NESSy and the reference method for the mean of 14 days for each subject was between 0.912 and 0.999 for energy and all nutrients except vitamin C. Calculated reproducibility showed little difference between NESSy and the reference method, both being highly reproducible. The results suggest that NESSy is an accurate dietary assessment tool for use by men and women with varying educational levels.

N2  - The mechanism of transepithelial zinc transport was studied, using monolayers of Caco-2 cells grown on permeable filter supports. 65Zn transport could be fitted to a modified Michaelis-Menten equation, which includes a nonsaturable and a saturable component. Caco-2 cells contained metal-inducible metallothionein (MT) protein and mRNA as well as mRNA for cysteine-rich intestinal protein (CRIP). Cells pretreated with 10 nM 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] for 3 days transported more Zn (159%) than controls, when incubated with 100 µM Zn for 90 min. This effect was significant after 24 h of 1α,25(OH)2D3 pretreatment and continued to increase up to 72 h, with concomitant increases in MT mRNA values being observed. MT protein values were only modestly elevated by 72 h 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment. CRIP mRNA values were reduced by 1α,25(OH)2D3 treatment. The lysosome-disrupting agent quinacrine inhibited basal Zn transport by 68%, suggesting the possible presence of a lysosome-mediated component for transepithelial Zn transport in Caco-2 cells. 1α,25(OH)2D3-stimulated Zn transport was not affected by quinacrine, suggesting that 1α,25(OH)2D3-induced Zn transport is distinct from the putative lysosome-mediated Zn transport pathway.

N2  - The effect of supplementation with zinc, vitamin A, or a combination of the two on proliferation of T lymphocytes to concanavalin A (ConA), tetanus toxoid (TT), or tuberculin (PPD) was examined in 140 children (6-13 years old) living in a region endemic for suboptimal vitamin A and zinc intake in Thailand. The children were randomly assigned and supplemented with Zn (25 mg/day), vitamin A (1500 mg retinol equivalent/day), Zn + vitamin A, or placebo for 6 months. After a baseline blood collection, subjects were boosted with diphtheria-tetanus antigen. Proliferative responsiveness of T lymphocytes to ConA and TT in each treatment group was not different at baseline or post-supplementation. Children supplemented with Zn + vitamin A tended to show higher proliferative responsiveness of T lymphocytes to PPD than did those treated with placebo. This tendency was observed in females but not in males. Increased Zn and vitamin A intake could result in health benefits for children living in regions endemic for suboptimal micronutrient nutriture.

N2  - Zinc absorption from 2 different foods was measured in man, using a whole-gut lavage technique. Healthy adults (n=8) were given test foods containing Zn about 4 mg as beef or a high-fibre, ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. Basal Zn loss in the gut was measured after giving only 200 ml water alone after an overnight fast. Mean polyethylene glycol (PEG) recovery, a nonabsorbable faecal marker, was 95±2%. There was no significant difference of PEG recoveries with the various treatments. True absorption of Zn was 11.0±5.4 for breakfast cereal and 34.8±3.5 µmol for beef. Fractional Zn absorption was significantly lower for breakfast cereal compared with beef, 14.7±6.7 vs. 55.1±4.6%, respectively. The findings demonstrate that Zn absorption can be measured in man from single foods containing a physiological dose of Zn by using the whole-gut lavage absorption technique and that Zn bioavailability from beef is about 4-fold greater than from a high-fibre breakfast cereal.

N2  - The desaturation of stearic acid (C18:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) was investigated to determine if differences in their metabolism provide a reasonable explanation for differences in their effect on serum cholesterol levels, and to investigate the affect of linoleic acid on Δ9-desaturase products in man. Deuterium-labelled C16:0 and C18:0 were used to follow the metabolism of these fatty acids in young adult men that were pre-fed on diets containing 2 levels of linoleic acid. Results indicate that absorption of C16:0 and C18:0 was similar when all components of the mixture used to formulate the deuterated fat mixture were kept above the melting point of tristearin, The percent of C18:0 desaturated to 9c-C18:1 was higher than the percent of C16:0 desaturated to 9c-C16:1 (9.2 vs. 3.9%). The subject-to-subject variability suggests that differences in ability to desaturate saturated fatty acids may be related to the variability observed in response of serum cholesterol levels to dietary saturated fatty acids. Data for the distribution of C16:0 and C18:0 between triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine (PC) was different. Based on PC data, phospholipid acyltransferase selectivity was about 2-fold higher for C18:0 than for C16:0. A 2-fold difference in the linoleic acid content of the pre-fed diets had little influence on desaturation or distribution of C16:0 and C18:0 between plasma lipid classes. A deuterium isotope effect was estimated to reduce Δ9-desaturase enzyme activity by 30-50%.

N2  - This book addresses the possibilities for government intervention in primarily unregulated grain markets. It examines the forces that help create government objectives for providing income and price stability and the appropriate responses to these forces by governments whose policy objectives are market oriented. Among the issues discussed are food security, production variability, demand growth, supply response, residual suppliers and buyers, buffering mechanisms, acquisition and dispersal rules for buffers, and cereal market strategies to deal with variability.

N2  - This paper reviews specific mechanisms for stabilizing world markets: particular reference is made to grain markets and storage. The objective of an independent stocks programme would be to smooth the flow of unanticipated product to the market in response to unanticipated short supplies. If resources are committed with the expectation of normal yields and prices and the output results in a significantly better or poorer crop, prices and incomes can be dramatically altered, even though the producers planned appropriately given their limited information. Neither the government nor the farmer can correctly anticipate or forecast the outcome of a specific crop at planting time except by chance. Stocks programmes, therefore, should react to crop output rather than anticipate crop output. Protecting farmers and consumers against random shocks to the system need not distort long-term market signals if the shocks are due to weather.

N2  - US consumers are gradually moving towards eating healthier diets. The demand is for low-fat and non-fat products, and leaner cuts of meat. However, this trend has been undermined by a growing preference for high-fat convenience foods, fast foods, and snacks. Research indicates that consumer knowledge about dietary fats and other food components is poor. Nutrition education programmes can accelerate the shift toward healthier diets. The food industry is responding to consumer demand and marketing opportunities for reduced-fat products by altering fresh meat production and merchandising practices and by introducing a host of reduced-fat product alternatives. This is the first article of a two-part series that uses US per caput food supply data (called disappearance) to gauge in broad terms how eating patterns are changing over time. The focus is on animal products: meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fats and oils.

N2  - Setting the stage for the evolution toward a free-market economy from central planning has entailed both positive and difficult adjustments in Russia, the largest former Soviet republic. Food shortages in state stores, once universal, are now sporadic. Overall food consumption has dropped, particularly consumption of livestock products, which had been maintained at artificially high levels before the reforms. These changes resulted from partial price deregulation (which eliminated shortages and shifted relative prices) and restrictive wage policy (which eroded real incomes). These trends are expected to continue in 1994, if prices remain deregulated and if the level of producer subsidies does not increase substantially.

N2  - The US School Breakfast Program provides cash assistance to initiate and maintain a breakfast programme in eligible schools and child care institutions. The programme has grown from serving 80 000 children at a cost of $573 000 in fiscal 1967 to an average of 4.92 million children a day in 50 000 schools and institutions at a cost of $787 million in fiscal 1992. The growth reflects concentrated efforts to encourage more schools to participate in order to reach more needy children. Over 850 million breakfasts were served in fiscal 1992, a 50% increase from a decade earlier. About 87% of the breakfasts are served free or reduced price, remaining relatively stable since the programmes inception.

N2  - Effects of various substances on attachment of Salmonella typhimurium to artificial sausage casings were investigated. No inhibitor effects were observed when cells were incubated with glucose, galactose, hyaluronin, chondroitin sulfate, Tween 20, EDTA, gelatin, glycine and bovine albumin. There was a small decrease in attachment with increasing sodium chloride levels from 0-100 mg/ml. Mannose did not inhibit attachment, implying that attachment was not mediated by type 1 fimbriae. Cells killed by irradiation (Cs-137) attached at a rate similar to non-irradiated cells, therefore viability and motility were not required for bacterial attachment. bacterial attachment was inhibited by solubilized collagen, indicating that a specific interaction may be involved between a binding site on the collagen molecule and the micro-organism.

N2  - Infections by the protozoan parasites of the genera Cryptosporidium and Giardia can be asymptomatic or cause gastroenteritis in immunocompetent people. Both parasites are common waterborne pathogens, but on occasion they may be foodborne or transmitted by body contact. In this review, several aspects of Cryptosporidium and Giardia are discussed including their life cycles, resistance to physical and chemical agents, routes of transmission to humans, the nature of the disease caused by the parasites, and detection of the organisms in water, faeces and food. Documented incidents in which Cryptosporidium or Giardia contaminated foods were implicated as the cause of gastroenteritis are discussed to illustrate conditions leading to foodborne outbreaks, and to suggest means of prevention and control of the parasites when present in foods. Foodborne cryptosporidiosis incidents attributed to raw cow milk and raw goat milk are discussed.

N2  - A light and electron microscopic study of P. anophelis, a heterosporous microsporidian parasite of the mosquito A. quadrimaculatus, revealed both oval and cylindrical binucleate spores in adult females. Both types of spores may be responsible for transovarial transmission of the parasite. Both spore types originate from identical diplokaryotic meronts in larvae. However, the small oval spore results from plasmodia containing 10-40 diplokaryotic nuclei and is produced 24 h after emergence of the adult mosquito, whereas the large cylindrical spore results from plasmodia containing 6-10 nuclei and is formed only after the mosquito takes a blood meal.

N2  - A sand granule formulation of methoprene was tested in outdoor intermittently flooded pools in Florida, USA, as a pre- and postflood treatment for the control of A. taeniorhynchus. In field test 1, pre- and postflood treatments were equally effective. Inhibition of emergence in mosquitoes exceeded 90% for 1 and 3 flood/dry cycles when SAN 810 I 1.3 GR was applied at rates of 2.8 and 5.6 kg/ha, respectively. In field test 2, &gt;90% inhibition of emergence was achieved only when SAN 810 I 1.3 GR was applied postflood at 5.6 kg/ha.

N2  - Portable whole body indirect calorimeters were constructed for term (2.5- to 8-kg) and preterm (1- to 2.5-kg) infants. A new calibration system significantly increased the accuracy of flowmeters and gas analysers. Performance tests with N2 and CO2 infusions and butane combustion demonstrated that the error of individual estimations of O2 consumption and CO2 production were within ±2%. The measured error was close to the theoretical uncertainty of about ±1% calculated from test results of the flowmeters and gas analysers. System response to a step change in butane combustion rate exceeded 90% within 2 min. Error of ±2% and response of 2 min are likely to be the practical lower limits for whole body infant indirect calorimeters with current technology. The calorimeters demonstrated a rapid increase in O2 consumption after feeding (preterm infants) and in the transition from non-rapid-eye-movement to rapid-eye-movement sleep stages (term infants).

N2  - The effects of oral arginine supplementation on measures in vitro of immune function using a stressed rat model were studied. The stressor used was intraperitoneal injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (1 mg/kg body weight). 4-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were controls or arginine-supplemented (7.5 g/litre arginine-HCl in drinking water) for 7 days, after which control and test rats received injections of endotoxin or phosphate-buffered saline. Rats were killed 3 days after injections. Endotoxin treatment lowered food intake, reduced thymus cellularity and increased spleen weight. Endotoxin injections also enhanced proliferative response of rat splenocytes to pokeweed mitogen (1 mg/litre) and lipopolysaccharide (25 and 100 mg/litre) and enhanced response of thymocytes to concanavalin A (10 mg/litre), phytohaemagglutinin (25 and 100 mg/litre) and pokeweed mitogen (1 mg/litre). Supplementary arginine did not reduce thymus weight loss or influence mononuclear cell proliferation or interleukin-2 production in the presence or absence of endotoxin stress. The results indicate no benefits of arginine supplementation during endotoxin stress in rats.

N2  - The amino acid concentrations of rat body protein and rat milk protein were measured at 1, 6, 10 and 16 days old to determine whether the concentration of total recovered amino acids (amino acid composition) in the body changes during early growth and development and whether parallel changes occur in the amino acid composition of milk. The ratio of essential to non-essential amino acids in carcasses decreased 10% during the suckling period. The ratio of essential to nonessential amino acids in milk proteins decreased by 6%. With the exception of threonine, the body to milk ratio for each essential amino acid seemed similar to that for the other essential amino acids, implying that most essential amino acids are equally limiting for the synthesis of body protein in exclusively milk-fed young. Measurements of milk intake and milk composition were used to estimate amino acid intakes and hence the efficiency with which milk amino acids were used for body protein deposition. The efficiency of essential amino acid utilization was 75% between 1 and 6 days old, 86% between 6 and 10, and 62% between 10 and 16. Although the overall efficiency of nonessential amino acid utilization showed a similar pattern, the results suggested the need for a high degree of glycine and arginine synthesis.

N2  - Using bioimpedance data from 600 adults in the Framingham Offspring Study (USA) the ability of height and knee height indexes to correctly describe the loss of fat free mass (FFM) seen with increasing age between 28 and 75 years was examined. Indexing body composition to height obscured the loss of FFM with age (r = -0.065, P&lt;0.26 for men; r = -0.050, P&lt;0.394 for women), whereas indexing body composition to knee height preserved the correct information (r = -0.154, P&lt;0.007 for men; r = -0.161, P&lt;0.006 for women). The data suggest that knee height is a reliable surrogate for stature and should be used to adjust body composition measurements when bioimpedance is used to estimate body composition.

N2  - The chapter examines the history of food stamps in the USA in a political economy framework. Approaching the theme from a broad historical perspective that recognizes significant structural changes in political, social, and economic institutions, it is concluded that food stamps are fully institutionalized in the US economy. Although the influence of various support groups, such as farmers and food advocates, changed over time, it is concluded that the changing of political values toward reduced government intervention is unlikely to result in the dismantling of income-maintenance programmes without reversing the broader patterns of structural change.

AB  - The present article articulates principles for effective public-private partnerships ( PPPs) in scientific research. Recognizing that PPPs represent one approach for creating research collaborations and that there are other methods outside the scope of this article, PPPs can be useful in leveraging diverse expertise among government, academic, and industry researchers to address public health needs and questions concerned with nutrition, health, food science, and food and ingredient safety. A three-step process was used to identify the principles proposed herein: step 1) review of existing PPP guidelines, both in the peer-reviewed literature and at 16 disparate non-industry organizations; step 2) analysis of relevant successful or promising PPPs; and step 3) formal background interviews of 27 experienced, senior-level individuals from academia, government, industry, foundations, and non-governmental organizations. This process resulted in the articulation of 12 potential principles for establishing and managing successful research PPPs. The review of existing guidelines showed that guidelines for research partnerships currently reside largely within institutions rather than in the peer-reviewed literature. This article aims to introduce these principles into the literature to serve as a framework for dialogue and for future PPPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Releases of M. zaraptor and P. vindemmiae were made at 4 beef cattle feeding lots in eastern Nebraska, USA. The ability of the parasites to parasitize house fly (Musca domestica) and stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) pupae under ambient environmental conditions was measured. The 2 species were released 7 times at 2-week intervals from a central location within each of the 4 feedlots. Both species were recovered significantly more often from sentinel pupae placed around the perimeter of each feedlot than from sentinel pupae at untreated feedlots. Mean mortality of sentinel pupae for the 4 release feedlots ranged from 28 to 42% compared with 4.8% for 2 untreated feedlots. Parasites recovered from sentinel pupae comprised 87% Muscidifurax zaraptor and 12% P. vindemmiae. Correlations between the percentage mortality of sentinel pupae and the number of parasites released were poor. However, when the interaction of weekly mean air temperature was considered, a significant correlation between reduction of sentinel pupae and the number of parasites released was evident. Differences in parasitism between release and control sites were not as apparent when parasite emergence from naturally occurring house fly and stable fly puparia was determined. The indigenous M. zaraptor was clearly superior to the introduced P. vindemmiae and readily parasitized house fly pupae around the perimeter of the release feedlots. The results also suggested that periods of mean weekly temperature exceeding 27°C appeared to adversely affect both parasite species.

Five ozone exposures ranging from 0.42 to 2.95× ambient and two rainfall treatments, pH 5.3 and pH 3.3, were applied for two growing seasons. Fascicle number and length of early season flushes were decreased by increasing ozone, but ozone increased fascicle length of late season flushes. Foliage retention was significantly decreased as ozone concentration increased. A significant reduction in fascicle retention was observed at ambient ozone concentrations. Significant pine family differences were noted for many of the evaluated foliage variables. Acidic precipitation generally had no significant effects, except that overall branch foliage retention tended to increase with increasing acidity and there was an ozone by rain acidity interaction when 1987 branch foliage was evaluated. Decreased foliage retention may be a partial explanation for the growth rate reductions in some stands in the Southeast.

N2  - Chromium content of 22 daily diets, designed by nutritionists to be well-balanced, ranged from 8.4 to 23.7 µg/1000 cal with a mean ± SEM chromium content of 13.4±1.1 µg/1000 cal. Most dairy products are low in chromium and provide &lt;0.6 µg/serving. Meats, poultry and fish are also low in chromium, providing 2 µg of chromium or less per serving. Chromium contents of grain products, fruits and vegetable vary widely, with some foods providing &gt;20 µg/serving. In summary, chromium content of individual foods varies, and is dependent upon chromium introduced in the growing, transport, processing and fortification of the food. Even well-balanced diets may contain suboptimal levels of dietary chromium.

N2  - 14C-sulphamethazine (4-amino-N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)benzene-[U-14C]sulphonamide; 220 mg/kg body weight) was given orally or intravenously (i.v.) to lactating dairy cows. Milk collected from 0 to 48 h after administration accounted for 2.0% (oral dose) and 1.1% (i.v. dose) of the total 14C-activity administered. Sulphamethazine accounted for 70-79% (oral dose) and 54-75% (i.v. dose) of the total 14C in milk samples collected from 0 to 48 h after administration. N4-Acetylsulphamethazine accounted for 1-2% (oral dose) and 1-4% (i.v. dose) of the 14C in milk. The major 14C-labelled metabolite in the milk was isolated and identified as the N4-lactose conjugate of sulphamethazine, a unique type of metabolite not previously reported. This metabolite accounted for 10-14% (oral dose) and 9-20% (i.v. dose) of the 14C-activity in the milk collected from 0 to 48 h after administration of 14C-sulphamethazine. N4-Lactose conjugates of sulphapyridine, sulphamerazine, sulphathiazole, sulphadimethoxine and sulphaquinoxaline were present in the milk from cows orally dosed with these 5 sulphonamide drugs.

N2  - Amblyospora californica was transmitted horizontally by feeding meiospores from larvae of Culex tarsalis (definitive host) to the copepod Macrocyclops albidus (a new intermediate host), and conversely by feeding spores produced in adult copepods to larval mosquitoes. Key features of the development sequence resulting from the 2 transmissions were demonstrated using light and electron microscopy. Development in the copepod started with uninucleate sporoplasms from the ingested meiospores and included merogony by binary division of uninucleate meronts, sporogony by binary (usually) or multiple division, and production of uninucleate-lanceolate spores within individual envelopes. Development in the mosquito began with uninucleate sporoplasms from the ingested lanceolate spores and included a first merogony (gametogony), plasmogamy, nuclear association, a 2nd merogony and disporous sporulation with the production of Nosema-like spores in the adult female. This female represents a parental generation that transmits the infection transovarially (vertically) to male and female progeny. By combining the results of this study with published data on development in filial generation mosquitoes an outline of the complete life cycle of the parasite is provided.

N2  - A method using immunomagnetic beads was developed for the isolation of E. coli O157:H7. Magnetic beads precoated with sheep anti-rabbit IgG were coated with rabbit antiserum against E. coli O157. The level of bacteria, amount of beads, amount of antibody coating the beads and incubation time were varied to determine their effects on recovery of the organism. The sensitivity of the test for recovery of E. coli O157:H7 was 1 × 101 cfu/ml. The organism was selectively recovered from 24 h enrichment cultures of meat products in which the initial inoculum level was 1 bacterium/g. Sorbitol negative colonies were selected from Sorbitol MacConkey agar and were positively identified as E. coli using a direct fluorescent antibody procedure. The results indicate that immunomagnetic separation is a convenient and rapid method for the isolation of E. coli O157:H7 from foods.

The rats were freely fed on diets containing 5 or 20% fat with and without the lithocholate and/or oxytetracycline-HCl. The increased cholesterol was associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) and not very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) or low density lipoprotein (LDL). Specific binding of human [125I]HDL to hepatic membranes was decreased in lithocholate-fed rats, but binding of human[125I]LDL to these membranes was not affected.

N2  - The effects of exercise and diet on energy expenditure, and ultimately energy balance are reviewed. Overnutrition increases resting metabolic rate (RMR) and thermic effect of food (TEF), while undernutrition decreases them. Carbohydrate and protein oxidation are closely related to intake, whereas fat oxidation does not closely parallel fat intake. Thus excess fat intake is likely to lead to fat storage. Acute endurance exercise at &gt;70% VO2max increases postexercise RMR and TEF. Chronic exercise training may increase RMR while also increasing TEF. It is indicated that energy balance may best be achieved by consuming an energy appropriate, low-fat diet, complemented by endurance exercise.

N2  - The current AOAC method may overestimate the phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate) content of processed foods. These foods generally contain the lower inositol phosphates (penta-, tetra- and triphosphates) in addition to phytic acid. These lower phosphates are included in the calculation of phytic acid determined by the AOAC anion-exchange method. Using an HPLC method allowed phytic acid and the other inositol phosphates to be individually quantified. As previous studies have indicated that phytic acid, and to a lesser extent, other inositol phosphates may reduce mineral availability of foods, the HPLC method will more accurately predict the potential negative effect on mineral availability. The 2 methods were used to compare the phytic acid content of a human diet, an oat breakfast cereal, a wheat bran sample, and a sample of sodium phytate. The methods were in good agreement when the sample contained only phytic acid. However, the values diverged when samples contained appreciable amounts of the lower inositol phosphates.

N2  - This study contains data from a random sampling for trace metals in edible tissues of livestock (bovine including bull, steer, cow, heifer, calf; ovine including mature sheep and lambs; porcine including market hogs, boar/stag and sow) and poultry (including young and mature chicken, young turkey, and duck). Tissue homogenates were ashed, and residual materials were dissolved in hydrochloric acid for analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Statistical summaries of data are provided for the trace metals lead, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, nickel and zinc. The heavy metals of toxicological concern, lead and cadmium, are emphasized in this study. Lead and cadmium were rarely detected in muscle (0.2-0.5% positive among 2314 animals sampled). Lead was also infrequently detected in liver (1.8% positive) and kidney (2.4% positive). Nearly 46% of livers analyzed were positive for cadmium, and approximately 78% of kidney samples were positive for cadmium. No regulatory limits are established in the United States for the trace metals reported in this study, although restrictions on the use of kidneys from mature poultry as human food have been established because of concern about potential cadmium levels. Kidneys from this study, more frequently than livers, bore cadmium levels that exceeded the regulatory limits of other countries and organizations. Regulatory implications of the data are discussed.

N2  - Larvae of A. aegypti, transovarially infected with E. aedis, were reared between 20 and 36°C to determine the influence of temperature on the development of the parasite and the infected host. Development of the parasite was evaluated based on spore yield and size. The predicted optimum temperature for maximum spore production of E. aedis in A. aegypti was 30.8°C. The results demonstrated that the E. aedis-A. aegypti system has a wide temperature tolerance; whereas spore yield will be lower at unfavourable temperatures, the host will remain infected. Additionally, spores were significantly smaller from individuals reared at 34°C than those reared at either 20 or 27°C. Development of the infected host was evaluated based on pupal weight and time of pupation. Infected pupae were significantly larger than uninfected pupae. There was also a significant difference in the pupation rate between controls and infected A. aegypti larvae. Controls had a 50% cumulative pupation time (CPT50) of 65.7 degree days and infected individuals a CPT50 of 76.6 degree days.

N2  - The distribution of A. quadrimaculatus includes an area from the eastern half of the USA to southeastern Canada and northeastern Mexico. Research has determined that A. quadrimaculatus exists as a species complex of 4 species. A survey of the composition of natural populations of the A. quadrimaculatus complex indicated that species A is the predominant species and is widely distributed throughout the range of the complex. Species B was found throughout the southeastern USA, except in southern Florida. Species D was found across the southeastern states, but always at a low density. Species C was found only in Florida and southern Georgia.

N2  - The role of the US National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods in improving the microbial safety of food is reviewed. A key priority is to encourage all food manufacturing plants to adopt the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system, which is orientated towards the prevention of microbial contamination of food. The expansion of this system to farm, retail and even consumer levels is proposed. The need for more and better data on the microbiology of food and foodborne pathogens to justify regulatory actions is also emphasized.

N2  - The concentrations of β-carotene, retinol and retinyl esters in serum and selected tissues of ferrets fed on diets supplemented with β-carotene (80 µg/g wet diet) for 3 weeks were estimated. The initial concentration of serum β-carotene was 0.011±0.006 µmol/litre (mean±s.e. mean); at the end of the experimental period it was 5.75±1.60. There were no significant differences in serum retinol and total retinyl esters between β-carotene-fed and control ferrets that had been fed on an unsupplemented diet. The predominant retinyl esters in serum were retinyl stearate (53%) and retinyl palmitate (35%). Of the tissues analysed after β-carotene feeding, the liver contained the highest concentration of β-carotene (78.8±18.8 nmol/g). Other tissues that contained β-carotene in amounts ranging from 17 to 20 nmol/g were adrenals, small intestine, stomach and colon; lesser amounts (6.9 nmol/g) were found in kidneys. Amounts ranging from 1.2 to 2.3 nmol/g were found in muscle, bladder, adipose tissue, lungs and skin; only 0.37 and 0.34 nmol/g were present in brain and eyes, respectively. Thus, like man, ferrets have the capacity to absorb intact β-carotene and to store this compound in tissues, especially the liver. However, compared with man, ferrets have high concentrations of retinyl esters in serum, liver and other tissues.

N2  - A review. The use of telephone surveys has increased significantly in the past decade. One advantage of telephone surveys is the ability to reach a large number of individuals: 97% of the US population owns telephones. Another advantage is cost savings: telephone surveys cost as little as one quarter to one half the amount of face-to-face surveys. Computer-assisted telephone interviewing has improved data collection, coding, and analysis. Random-digit dialling and a number of statistical advantages such as weighting and stratification have significantly enhanced sample selection and research design of telephone surveys. The increasing need to collect dietary information from populations in an affordable fashion has expanded the use of telephone dietary surveys. To date, telephone dietary surveys have been used for follow-up after initial face-to-face contact has been made. The most common dietary instruments used are the 24-h recall and the food frequency questionnaire. Well-designed and well-administered telephone surveys are as good as, and may be better than, other methods for obtaining dietary information.

N2  - The main cause of the growing food shortages in the former USSR has been wage, price, and monetary policies that affect demand and distribution, rather than problems with agricultural production. These non-agricultural policies distorted demand, weakened the distribution systems, and created inflationary macroeconomic imbalance. In 1991 these conditions finally began to affect the supply side of the economy, causing output, not only in agriculture but in other sectors, to fall. The main short-run objective of the ambitious reform programme begun by the Russian Republic in January 1992 is to restore macroeconomic balance and thereby eliminate the inflationary pressures acting on the economy. The price liberalization in the food sector has changed the problem of consumers from there not being food in the shops to buy, to their being food which is at unaffordable prices. The way in which the republics have survived the winter in terms of food supply is discussed.

N2  - A medium and method for pre-enriching food products that allow the simultaneous recovery and detection of Salmonella and Listeria are described. To prevent the pH of the medium from rapidly dropping in the presence of extraneous microorganisms found in foods, this medium, universal pre-enrichment (UP) broth, is highly buffered and low in carbohydrates. The medium allows sublethally injured bacteria to resuscitate and multiply to sufficiently high numbers so that highly selective, secondary enrichment media can be employed to help select the specific bacteria in question from a mixed bacterial background culture. As few as 10 heat-injured Salmonella multiplied to at least 106/ml following a 24-h enrichment in UP, even in mixtures of high levels of known competitive microflora, or from naturally occurring microflora found in chicken, hot dogs or Brie cheese. As few as 10 heat-injured Listeria monocytogenes multiplied to at least 105/ml in these same experiments. From the UP broth, secondary selective pre-enrichment broths that favour the growth of Salmonella or Listeria can be inoculated and subsequent protocols for the recovery of either Salmonella or Listeria can then be followed.

N2  - The susceptibility of common non-target aquatic organisms to the microsporidium E. aedis was investigated in the laboratory. 8 predaceous species (Corethrella appendiculata, Dugesia dorotocephala, Telebasis byersi, Ischnura posita, Belostoma testaceum, Ranatra sp., Hydrochus sp. and Dytiscidae) along with 9 scavengers and filter feeders (including Ceriodaphnia reticulata, Macrocyclops albidus, Asellus militaris, Hyalella azteca and Chironomus sp.) were tested. The non-target organisms were not susceptible to infection by E. aedis and there was no appreciable mortality. To measure the relative safety of E. aedis to non-target organisms, a simple mathematical expression was employed where risk is defined as the product of the probability of exposure and the result of exposure (infection) expressed as PePi. In these laboratory tests, the probability of exposure was fixed at 1 (maximum challenge) and the probability of infection was determined to be 0. Therefore, the risk associated with release of E. aedis into the environment is considered to be negligible under these conditions. The true risk of non-target organisms to E. aedis can only be determined by careful evaluation of controlled field studies in the natural habitat of the target host (in these experiments larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti).

N2  - Larvae of M. domestica were exposed to spores of the mosquito pathogen N. algerae on the surface of their diet. Infective concentrations (IC50 and IC90) for the larvae were 3.6×104 and 1.6×106 spores/cm², respectively. The disease appeared to cause no larval mortality, but the longevity of adult females was reduced. At 30 days post-infection, there were at least 1×107 spores per fly in all dosage groups. At lower dosages, the development of spores was delayed and fewer spores were produced.

N2  - Edhazardia aedis is a polymorphic microsporidium of mosquitoes that is both horizontally and vertically transmitted to its host. Spores responsible for horizontal transmission were extracted from 7- to 10-day-old mosquito larvae (reared from infected Aedes aegypti eggs) and purified by Ludox density gradient centrifugation. Mature spores were variable in specific gravity, being found throughout the 20 and 60% zone in Ludox gradients. The optimal environment for spore germination was dilute KCl at pH 10.0-11.0; ammonia inhibited germination. Osmotic inhibition was almost complete in both sucrose and polyethylene glycol at concentrations equivalent to 40 atm. The spores retained their viability for a maximum of 21 days at 23±2°C, whereas when held at 5±2°C, their viability was completely lost within 2 days post-harvest. Potential for germination decreased along with infectivity, providing a simple assay for spore viability.

N2  - For 20 days, 7 healthy women aged 30-65 years consumed a stabilization diet that contained 5.2% energy (en%) from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and 41.4% energy from fat. For the next 40 days, 3 subjects consumed a diet with 3.2 en% PUFA and 26.1 en% fat, while the remaining 4 subjects consumed a diet with 9.1 en% PUFA and 31.1 en% fat. For the next 40 days, the diets of the 2 groups were crossed over. Blastogenesis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured with phytohaemagglutinin, concanavalin A, protein A, and pokeweed, and the serum concentrations of complement fractions C3 and C4, were significantly increased upon the feeding of both low fat (26.1 or 31.1 en%) diets compared with the values when the high fat (41.1 en%) diet was fed. None of the indices tested were different when the high PUFA (9.1 en%) and low PUFA (3.1 en%) diets were compared. The results indicated that low fat diets improve some of the indices of human immune status and that a moderate increase in the level of n-6 PUFA in an otherwise low fat diet does not suppress the human immune system.

N2  - Some food-importing GATT members are concerned that multilateral agricultural policy reform as proposed in the Uruguay Round would endanger their food security, particularly if reform results in higher world commodity prices, lower government stock levels and weaker incentives for food aid supplies. This paper elaborates a set of international policies in support of food security that would be consistent with GATT's main objective of reducing interference by national policies in the free flow of goods. This set includes commitments to maintain global food stocks and food aid, disciplines for stock-building and food aid distribution, and support for certain programmes aimed at reducing instability of food production and supply. While a guarantee of food security is beyond GATT control, and depends ultimately on sustained economic development, there are food security enhancing mechanisms that the GATT can support without encouraging new trade distortions.

N2  - The objective was to develop confirmatory high-performance liquid chromatographic methods for penicillin residues in animal tissue with detection limits of ≤10 ng/g. A previously described procedure was modified by using a larger sample size and isocratic analysis. Tissues (15 g) were blended with 45 ml of water and 20 ml of homogenate were mixed with 40 ml acetonitrile and filtered. The filtrate (30 ml) was mixed with 10 ml of 0.2 M H3PO4 and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined methylene chloride layers were mixed with acetonitrile and hexane, washed with two 4-ml portions of water and then extracted with four 1-ml portions of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7). The combined buffer extracts were concentrated to 1 ml under reduced pressure. Analysis was isocratic during 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7)-acetonitrile with proportions 85:15 (penicillin G), 82:18 (penicillin V) or 78:22 (cloxacillin). A polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer column, 150 × 4.6 mm I.D. (Polymer Labs. PRLP-S), was used with flow-rate of 1 ml/min and detection at 210 nm. The presence of penicillins was confirmed by treating a duplicate sample with penicillinase. Recoveries were &gt;90% in most instances. Detection limits were 5 ng/g in muscle and higher in liver kidney. The procedure is a simple and sensitive method for confirming the presence of penicillins in animal tissues.

N2  - Mycotic infection was diagnosed in 6.8% of 6858 cases of bovine abortion and stillbirth examined during a 9-year period. Aspergilli were associated with approximately 5% of all abortion cases and 71% of 446 cases that were cultured for fungi and diagnosed as mycotic abortion. Aspergillus fumigatus was the most frequent isolate (62%), followed by A. terreus (6.7%), Emericella (Aspergillus) nidulans (3.0%), A. flavus (2.9%), and E. rugulosa (&lt;1.0%). Zygomycetes (Absidia, Mortierella, Rhizomucor, Rhizopus) accounted for 21% of the cases. Pseudallescheria boydii and yeasts (Candida, Torulopsis) were each identified in 2% of the cases. Fungi that uncommonly cause infection accounted for 2% of the cases and included Curvularia geniculata [Cochliobolus geniculatus], Exophiala jeanselmei, Hendersonula toruloidea [Nattrassia mangiferae], Lecythophora hoffmannii, Talaromyces flavus var. flavus (Penicillium vermiculatum), T. (Penicillium) thermophilus and Wangiella dermatitidis. About 10% of the mycotic cases were mixed fungal infections involving A. fumigatus (87%), A. flavus (12.5%), or E. nidulans (12.5%) coexisting with Absidia corymbifera (72%), Rhizomucor pusillus (4.3%), or Rhizopus arrhizus (4.3%). In each mixed infection, both septate and nonseptate hyphae were observed in placental tissues. 12% of the mycotic abortion cases were diagnosed by histological examination alone because isolation attempts were negative or only formalin-preserved tissues were available.

N2  - The cationic proteins from 2 varieties of maize that are resistant (Yellow Creole) and susceptible (Huffman) to Aspergillus flavus and therefore to aflatoxin contamination were characterized by electrophoresis. Under native conditions, cathodic electrophoresis showed a cluster of proteins at Rf=5.0-6.5 in Yellow Creole that was not evident in Huffman. SDS-PAGE showed c. 12 bands that ranged between 14 and 43 kDa in both varieties. The profiles differed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The major proteins in Yellow Creole clustered around 20 kDa on the gel and those in Huffman around 25 kDa. Qualitative variations of proteins by two-dimensional electrophoresis were evident, especially within the pH range 6.7-8.0 and around 27 and 92 kDa. The results are discussed in connection with the possible role of polypeptides as antifungal agents in species of maize.

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: A database for the spatial and temporal distribution of the amount of biomass burned in tropical America, Africa, and Asia during the late 1970s is presented with a resolution of 5° latitude x 5° longitude. The sources of burning in each grid cell have been quantified. Savanna fires, shifting cultivation, deforestation, fuel wood use, and burning of agricultural residues contribute about 50, 24, 10, 11, and 5%, respectively, of total biomass burned in the tropics. Savanna fires dominate in tropical Africa, and forest fires dominate in tropical Asia. A similar amount of biomass is burned from forest and savanna fires in tropical America. The distribution of biomass burned monthly during the dry season has been derived for each grid cell using the seasonal cycles of surface ozone concentrations. Land use changes during the last decade could have a profound impact on the amount of biomass burned and the amount of trace gases and aerosol particles emitted

N2  - It has been suggested that T lymphocytes are necessary for the development of specific acquired immunity to Cryptosporidium parvum. To further examine the mechanisms of immunity to C. parvum, this study examined the susceptibility of W/Wv mice to C. parvum infection. These mice have normal T lymphocyte function but have a deficit in erythrocyte and granulocyte lineages, including intestinal mast cells. It was shown that mast cell-deficient W/Wv infant mice were similar to normal mice in their susceptibility to and recovery from C. parvum infection. W/Wv adult mice were found to be significantly more susceptible to primary infection than were normal adult mice, but both groups recovered at a similar rate.

N2  - Leucomyosuppressin (LMS) did not inhibit the spontaneous contractions of visceral muscles of L. maderae [Rhyparobia maderae] uniformly as a group but rather showed a selective suppression of activity in the foregut and hindgut. The threshold of LMS inhibition for these organs was 10-11M for the foregut and 3×10-11M for the hindgut. The maximum response for each organ was generally recorded at 2.4×10-8M. Both the heart and the oviduct were 100-1000 times less sensitive to LMS than either the foregut or the hindgut. Although the responses of the heart to LMS (10-9 to 10-8M) were somewhat inconsistent, the myocardium showed a reduction in either the amplitude or frequency of contractions in 75% of the preparations tested. The oviduct showed the lowest level of responsiveness of all the muscles tested. Even at a concentration of 10-7M LMS, the amplitude and frequency of contractions showed no more than a 58% inhibition. Desensitization to LMS was observed in 3 of 4 muscle types tested. The phenomenon occurred in 37% of the foreguts, 34% of the hindguts and 54% of the heart preparations tested. Thus, each visceral muscle type has its own unique response profile to LMS, which supports the idea that peptides may be multifunctional regulators.

N2  - Pupae of Musca domestica were exposed to Muscidifurax zaraptor, M. raptor, M. raptorellus, Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae, Spalangia nigroaenea and Urolepis rufipes. Exposures were made for 48 h at 6 parasitoid-to-host (P:H) ratios to measure the effect of parasitoid density on parasitoid-induced mortality (PIM) of hosts (excluding mortality as measured by parasitoid emergence). PIM was evident at all P:H ratios for all 6 species. Fly eclosion declined with a corresponding increase in the P:H ratio; the reverse was generally true for PIM. Parasitoid emergence increased initially with a corresponding increase in the P:H ratio to a point (depending on the parasitoid species), but then declined. The 3 Muscidifurax spp. and P. vindemmiae exhibited similar behaviour and generally avoided previously stung hosts until ovipositional restraints broke down at the higher P:H ratios. S. nigroaenea and U. rufipes exhibited little ovipositional restraint, resulting in a high proportion of PIM of hosts. Understanding factors that influence PIM will provide better evaluations of field releases of parasitoids to control flies and will aid in the development of the most economic procedures for large scale rearing of pteromalid parasitoids.

N2  - The novel combination of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with an enzyme assay system was used to screen meat products for the presence of the pesticides alachlor and carbofuran. Analytes were collected in water by expanding supercritical carbon dioxide to atmospheric pressure through a restrictor and into an aqueous phase. The solution was then tested for the presence of pesticide residues by enzyme assay. Two experimental approaches were used. Alachlor-fortified lard and bovine liver were monitored by static SFE coupled with an enzyme immunoassay. SFE of carbofuran-fortified frankfurters was coupled with an enzyme assay based on cholinesterase inhibition. A major benefit of the SFE/enzyme assay technique over conventional screening techniques is that the analyst is not exposed to organic solvents.

N2  - Comparatively low concentrations of dietary boron affect several aspects of mineral metabolism in animals and man. The analysed concentrations of B and other elements in selected foods (animal products, water, condiments, confections, fruits, tuberised roots, vegetables, cereal grains and spices) and personal-care products (analgesics, antibiotics, decongestants, antihistamines, dental hygiene products, gastric antacids and laxatives) are presented. It is concluded that daily intake of B in water varies considerably according to geographic source. At some locations, B in drinking water and water-based beverages may account for most of the total dietary intake. Individual food preferences greatly influence daily intake of B. Fruits, vegetables, tubers and legumes have relatively much higher concentrations of B than do cereal grain or animal tissues and fluids. B was determined to be a notable contaminant or major ingredient of many personal-care products.

N2  - To evaluate whether soyabean strains with reduced levels of trypsin inhibitors have enhanced nutritional and safety characteristics, protease inhibitor content of a standard cultivar (Williams 82) and an isoline (L81-4590) lacking the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor was estimated using enzyme inhibition assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Less heat was needed to inactivate the remaining trypsin inhibitory activity of the isoline than that of the standard soyabean cultivar. Autoclaving (steam heating at 121°C) of the isoline for 20 min resulted in a near zero level of trypsin inhibitor activity, while 20% remained in the Williams 82 sample. Feeding studies with rats showed that the raw soya flour prepared from the isoline was nutritionally superior to the raw flour prepared from the standard variety, as measured by protein efficiency ratio (PER) and pancreatic weights. Since the content of amino and fatty acids of the flours from both strains was identical and the haemagglutinating activities were within a factor of 2, the increased PER was likely due to the lower level of trypsin inhibitory activity in the isoline. Steam heating the flours for up to 30 min at 121°C progressively increased the PER for both strains. It is suggested that further screening studies could lead to the discovery of soyabeans which yield flour that is safe and nutritious with minimal need for heating.

N2  - To assess whether the dipeptide N-ε-(γ-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine (glutamyl-lysine) can serve as a nutritional source of lysine, the growth of Swiss Webster mice fed on (a) an amino acid diet in which lysine was replaced by 6 dietary levels of glutamyl-lysine; (b) wheat gluten diets fortified with lysine; (c) a wheat bread-based diet (10% protein) supplemented before feeding with lysine or glutamyl-lysine (0, 0.75, 1.50, 2.25 and 3% lysine HCl-equivalent in the final diet), not co-baked and (d) bread diets co-baked with these levels of lysine or glutamyl-lysine was evaluated. With the amino acid diet, the relative growth response to glutamyl-lysine was about half that of lysine. The effect of added lysine on the nutritional improvement of wheat gluten depended on both lysine and gluten concentrations in the diet. With 10 and 15% gluten, 0.37% lysine HCl produced an increase in weight gain. Further increase in lysine HCl to 0.75% proved detrimental to weight gain. Lysine HCl addition improved growth at 20 and 25% gluten in the diet and did not prove detrimental at 0.75%. For whole bread, glutamyl-lysine served nearly as well as lysine to improve weight gain. The nutritive value of bread crust fortified or not was less than that of crumb or whole bread. Other data showed that lysine or glutamyl-lysine at the highest level of fortification, 0.3%, improved the protein quality (PER) of crumb over that of crust or whole bread, indicating a possible greater availability of the second-limiting amino acid, threonine, in crumb. These data and additional metabolic studies with U-14-C glutamyl-lysine suggest that glutamyl-lysine, co-baked or not, is digested in the kidneys and utilized in vivo as a source of lysine.

N2  - The chapters of this book represent the distillations of the oral presentations made at a conference "Health Effects of Dietary Fatty Acids", held in Baltimore, USA in April, 1990. 22 chapters by different authors are divided into 6 broad sections, the first of which describes some basic elements of dietary fatty acid composition, function and metabolism. The second and third sections cover the effect of dietary fatty acids on the cardiovascular system from hyperlipaemias to blood clotting and hypertension. An overview of the role of fatty acids in coronary heart disease based on epidemiological data is presented in the second section which concludes with an assessment of the contribution of individual fatty acids to blood cholesterol values. The effects of fatty acids (especially saturated and n-6 compounds) on blood clotting and blood pressure are covered in the third section while the controversial area of fatty acids and cancer is discussed in the fourth. The emerging area of dietary fatty acids and immune function is presented in the fifth section and the book concludes in section 6 with a review of other conditions believed to be ameliorated or induced by dietary fatty acids.

N2  - Dietary surveys have demonstrated that Keshan disease, a juvenile cardiomyopathy, was absent in parts of China where food supply provided selenium at least 19 and 13 µg/day for men and women, respectively. Such intakes can be regarded as minimum daily requirements for Se. A previous study in an area where Keshan disease was prevalent determined the amount of dietary Se needed to maximize the activity of the Se containing enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, in plasma. For a man weighing 60 kg, enzymic activity reached a plateau at Se intakes of about 40 µg/day. These data were used by the US National Research Council as the basis for its 1989 recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Se. The RDA was calculated as 70 and 55 µg/day for adult men and women, respectively. This RDA is readily satisfied by typical diets in countries with relatively Se-rich soils, such as the USA. In Se-poor areas of the world (eg. China, New Zealand, Scandinavia), diets do not readily meet recommendations.

N2  - 20 obese and 20 lean LA/N-cp male rats and 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on a diet containing 54% sucrose or starch for 6 weeks. After a 14-16 h fast, rats were killed. Liver and kidney enzyme activities were estimated in the LA/N-cp rats while plasma urea and selected amino acids were estimated in all rats. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PASE), fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPASE), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH), malic enzyme (ME), glucokinase (GK), pyruvate kinase (PK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), glutamic-oxaloacetic-transaminase (GOT), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), arginase (ARGASE), arginine-synthase (ARG-SYN) and ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTC) levels were significantly affected by phenotype (obese&gt;lean). All the above changes in enzyme levels were exaggerated by sucrose-feeding with the exception of PK, PFK, GOT, GPT, ARGASE and ARG-SYN. Kidney cortex G6PASE, PEPCK and ARGASE activities were higher in the obese as compared to the lean rats. Sucrose feeding resulted in higher cortex G6PASE, FBPASE and PEPCK as compared to starch-fed rats. A phenotype effect was noted with plasma glutamate, urea, leucine, isoleucine and valine (obese &gt; lean) and a diet effect was seen with aspartate, phenylalanine, leucine and valine (sucrose &gt; starch) concentration. Sprague-Dawley rats had higher plasma urea and lower alanine than lean LA/N-cp males. Metabolic obesity in the LA/N-cp rat appeared to involve an elevated capacity for pathways of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and amino acid catabolism in the liver.

N2  - Definition of specific biochemical functions in higher animals (including man) for the ultra-trace elements boron, silicon, vanadium, nickel and arsenic still has not been achieved although all of these elements have been described as being essential nutrients. Many new findings have revealed possible sites of essential action for these five elements. Based on these findings and the response of animals and/or man to low intakes of these elements, the following speculations have been presented. B has a role that affects cell membrane characteristics and transmembrane signaling. Si is necessary for the association between cells and one or more macromolecules such as osteonectin, which affects cartilage composition and ultimately cartilage calcification. V reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form a pervanadate that is required to catalyse the oxidation of halide ions and/or stimulate the phosphorylation of receptor proteins. Ni is needed for the CO2-fixation to propionyl-CoA to form D-methylmalonyl-CoA. As has an important role in the conversion of methionine to its metabolites taurine, labile methyl and the polyamines. If any of these speculations are found to be true, the element involved will be firmly established as having a nutritional requirement because the body obviously cannot synthesize it. Based on animal findings, the dietary requirement is likely to be small; that is, expressed in mg daily.

The development of a commercial radioimmunoassay (RIA) for PTH-rP has allowed further study of this. The PTH-rP content of milk from 42 Jersey cows from a single farm was measured in various stages of lactation. Colostrum (first milk) contained 56±12 ng/ml immunoreactive PTH-rP (iPTH-rP). The iPTH-rP contents of milk 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 months into lactation were 77±19, 59±14, 57±10, 106±11, 119±16 and 168±17 ng/ml resp. Plasma was obtained from 7 Jersey calves at birth and at intervals after the ingestion of colostrum. No iPTH-rP was detected in the plasma at birth. Two h after the ingestion of colostrum, the iPTH-rP content of plasma was 81±25 pg/ml. The plasma iPTH-rP concn. continued to increase to 384±84 pg/ml at 7 h and peaked at 444±84 pg/ml 12 h after birth. Two calves were sampled through the 60th hour after birth, at which time plasma iPTH-rP was 483±36 pg/ml. The biological activity of the PTH-rP in milk and plasma was assessed by its ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation in ROS 17/2.8 cells. The specificity of this response was determined by the ability of antiserum to PTH-rP to block the activity. The biological activity of the milk samples was between 31-95% of the activity suggested by immunoassay. Biologically active PTH-rP could not be detected in any of the calf plasma samples. These results confirm the presence of biologically active PTH-rP in milk and suggest that the iPTH-rP is capable of being absorbed. However, these results indicate that the biological activity of the PTH-rP is nearly completely absent once in the systemic circulation.

N2  - Sclerotized oothecae from Periplaneta americana, P. fuliginosa, Blatta orientalis and Blattella germanica were examined by solid-state [13C]nuclear magnetic resonance and chemical analyses. The oothecae were composed of protein, water, calcium oxalate, diphenolic compounds, lipid and uric acid. Calcium oxalate was the major soluble component in egg cases of P. americana, P. fuliginosa and Blatta orientalis. Oothecae of Blattella germanica had approximately 10-fold less calcium oxalate and extractable diphenols than the other species. The major diphenolic compound extracted in cold dilute perchloric acid was 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid. Exuviae from P. americana, B. germanica, Gromphadorhina portentosa, Blaberus craniifer and Leucophaea maderae [Rhyparobia maderae] also were examined by solid-state [13C]NMR. They contained protein, diphenols and lipid, as well as chitin, which accounted for 30-42% of the organic content, depending upon the species.

N2  - Field studies were conducted to determine the responses of mosquitoes associated with irrigated riceland in Arkansas to 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), carbon dioxide (CO2) and combinations of both. Octenol was released at 4.1 (wick in) and 41.1 (wick out) mg/h and CO2 at 200, 500 and 1000 ml/min. Octenol alone did not result in a significant (P &gt; 0.05) increased response for any species relative to unbaited traps. An increase in CO2 release rate generally resulted in an increase in collection size. All octenol + CO2 combinations increased the collections of Coquillettidia perturbans, Culex salinarius and Psorophora columbiae relative to equivalent CO2 release rates alone. Mixed response for these same treatment combinations were obtained for Anopheles crucians, A. quadrimaculatus and C. erraticus.

N2  - A polytene chromosome analysis was prepared from A. freeborni collected from 25 locations in north and central California, and parts of Washington and Oregon, USA. The X chromosome banding pattern, thought previously to be specific to A. hermsi, was common in mosquitoes collected from foothill regions in California, and in all samples from Washington and Oregon. At some of these locations, many mosquitoes had heterokaryotypes for the inversion that distinguishes the X chromosome of A. freeborni from that of A. hermsi. Use of rDNA restriction site analysis, and the results from crossing of different strains bearing either type of X chromosome, showed that A. hermsi does not have a unique or diagnostic X chromosome. A. hermsi was collected in San Mateo County, California, which is now the northernmost known limit of this species. Crossing studies, or the examination of rDNA restriction enzyme profiles, are presently the only means of identifying A. hermsi.

N2  - Quwenling, an insect repellent (from Nanyue Pharmaceutical Factory, Hengyang, Hunan, China) derived from extracts of the lemon eucalyptus plant (Eucalyptus maculata citriodon), was evaluated. Analysis revealed the product to be composed principally of p-menthane-3,8-diol, with some terpene-type alcohols, dioctyl phthalate and traces of an ethyl ester of hexanoic or heptanoic acid. Laboratory tests compared Quwenling with deet [diethyltoluamide] against Anopheles albimanus, A. quadrimaculatus, Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus; field tests were conducted (in Florida) with A. taeniorhynchus. Cloth treated with Quwenling at &gt;2× the dosage of deet was effective against 2 of 4 species tested (A. albopictus 29 days, Anopheles quadrimaculatus 28 days). On the skin of volunteers at 2× the dosage of deet, the duration of protection for Quwenling was significantly less than deet with Aedes aegypti and A. taeniorhynchus, and was not significantly different with A. albopictus. Both repellents were ineffective against the anopheline species. As a topically applied mosquito repellent, Quwenling has a shorter duration of effectiveness than deet.&lt;new para&gt;ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:&lt;new para&gt;Quwenling, an extract of the lemon eucalyptus plant, Eucalyptus maculata citriodon, from China was tested as a repellent against a range of mosquito species. Under laboratory conditions, Quwenling impregnated into cotton netting at twice the concentration of an established repellent, deet, was effective against Aedes albopictus and Anopheles quadrimaculatus. It was less effective against Ae. aegypti and neither repellent reduced biting by An. albimanus. When applied directly to human skin, Quwenling was found to have a significantly shorter duration of efficacy than deet against Ae. aegypti and Ae. taeniorhynchus.Nigel Hill

N2  - Tests were conducted to determine the persistence of compounds applied to tents to protect against mosquitoes. Interiors of 2 camping tents were treated by the manufacturer - one with the repellent dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and one with the insecticide permethrin. A third tent was untreated. Tents were set up outdoors in Florida, and exposed to weathering for 1 year. Weekly tests were conducted by releasing A. aegypti into the tents, then recording knockdown (KD) and biting behaviour during a 3-h period. Weather data were collected 24 h/day during the study. Year-long mean KD of mosquitoes exposed in the tent to permethrin was 58.6%, to DMP 2.7% and the control 0.9%. Mean biting was 11.9, 43.8 and 58%, respectively. Under constant exposure to weathering, the permethrin-treated tent gave best results, with average protection from bites &gt;96% for 9 months (DMP was &lt;31%). Although preliminary, the data suggest permethrin would be effective as a tent treatment to reduce annoyance of mosquitoes.&lt;new para&gt;ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:&lt;new para&gt;Two proprietary polyester tents were erected outdoors (in Florida, USA) and exposed to natural weathering conditions for 1 year following impregnation with dimethyl phthalate (DMP) or permethrin. Aedes aegypti were introduced weekly into these, as well as a third, unimpregnated tent. Biting rates were recorded on an arm placed into each tent for 1 min, and total knockdown after 3 h was also recorded. Results indicate a good degree of protection by permethrin for up to 9 months and a significant, although smaller, reduction in biting afforded by DMP.[These results are rightly described by the author as preliminary; further replicates are required. Results would have been far easier to interpret and more relevant if figures had been presented as percentages of control levels. Failure to introduce known numbers of mosquitoes makes statistical analysis problematic unless full data are supplied to the reader.]Nigel Hill

N2  - The entomopathogenic bacteria B. sphaericus 2362 was formulated in 1- and 3-g pellets with 48.7% partially hydrogenated vegetable (cottonseed and soyabean) oil, 24.4% talc and 2.4% of a starch-based superabsorbent polymer (Supersorb). This formulation increased the residual activity against Culex spp. (C. nigripalpus, C. quinquefasciatus, C. salinarius, C. restuans and C. territans) larvae in large and small plots, including polluted water, in Florida. When the pellets were applied to dry artificial larval habitats 5 days prior to flooding, the Psorophora columbiae that hatched at the time of flooding were eliminated. After the pools were dried and reflooded, 611 Bacillus colony-forming units/ml were present in the surface water. An equivalent amount of primary powder suspension was ineffective as a preflood treatment, apparently due to solar inactivation of the toxin. A floating carrageenan slab formulation was generally less effective than either the primary powder or the pelleted formulation.

N2  - The ultrastructural cytology of Culicosporella lunata is described from larvae of its mosquito host Culex pilosus. Diplokaryotic sporonts entered 1 of 12 fundamentally different sporulation sequences that occurred concurrently, each producing morphologically distinctive spores. One involved abortive meiosis and rarely ended with meiospores; the other, the predominant one, involved diplokaryotic sporogonial plasmodia and produced lanceolate, binucleate spores. A previously unknown sporulation sequence in the adult mosquito was found to result in a second type of binucleate spore. The taxonomic affinities of Culicosporella lunata are discussed and because of its distinctive characters, Culicosporellidae fam. nov. is created.

N2  - The case of a 4-year-old Bactrian camel at the National Zoological Park, Washington DC, USA, with chronic cryptosporidiosis of 18 months duration is described. This female camel had been housed with a male camel for 3 years; the male had no history of cryptosporidiosis. During this period, recurrent intestinal parasitic infections including various nematodes and cestodes as well as cryptosporidiosis, were identified. Treatment with anthelmintics only temporarily diminished the number of eggs produced. Treatment of the cryptosporidiosis with amprolium failed to resolve the infection. Oocysts were indistinguishable from Cryptosporidium muris or from a bovine isolate that parasitizes the abomasum. Attempts were made to experimentally establish cryptosporidial infections in neonatal calves and mice by oral administration of oocysts. Calves did not shed oocysts resembling C. muris during 17 days of daily faecal examinations. Only those mice examined 12 days or more after inoculation had oocysts in their faeces and cryptosporidial stages in gastric glands in the stomach, indicating that the isolate from the camel was very similar, if not identical, to C. muris. This is believed to be the first report of cryptosporidiosis in a camel.

Pairs of P. kellicotti were found in spherical cyst-like structures approximately 1 cm in diameter. F. rostratus were seen as serpentine pale white areas on the pleural surface and also firmly embedded in fibrous capsules in the pulmonary parenchyma. Histological lesions associated with the presence of these parasites consisted primarily of a verminous bronchitis. Clinical signs or compromised pulmonary function were not associated with these infections.

N2  - The responsiveness of postmenopausal women to supplementation with calcium seems to depend on their menopausal age. In women who are within the first 5 years of menopause, bone loss from the radius is attenuated but not arrested by added Ca. The maximal effect seems to occur with supplement dosages of about 1000 mg elemental Ca daily. In contrast, the spine is unresponsive to supplementation with Ca even at higher doses in early postmenopausal women. In late postmenopausal women, bone loss from the radius is attenuated by increased Ca intake. Loss from the spine can be retarded by increasing Ca intake to the current recommended dietary allowance in older women with usual diets low in Ca. The effect of supplementation with higher doses of Ca in this segment of the population is unknown. The effect of added Ca on hip density of postmenopausal women is not yet established.

N2  - A method for the determination of boron in a variety of biological samples is described. Human plasma, human serum, orchard leaves and total diet were fused with sodium carbonate and boron and separated from matrix components by using Amberlite IRA-743 boron selective ion-exchange resin. Boron was eluted with 1% HNO3 and introduced to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a direct injection nebulizer. This nebulizer provided a fast sample cleanout of about 15 s. The 10B/11B ratio is determined with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.4-1.5%, and the detection limit for boron is about 1 ng/g in these samples. Stable isotope dilution methodology for quantitation of boron showed that: fusion of sample with sodium carbonate avoided volatilization of boron from samples; about 80% of submicrogram amounts of boron from samples were recovered from the resin with insignificant isotopic fractionation; results for biological reference materials were in agreement with certified values; and the boron concentration of pooled human blood plasma was 24±4 µg/litre (95% confidence interval).

N2  - The effects of a supervised 1-year walking programme and increased dietary calcium (milk supplement, 831 mg daily, vs. placebo drink, 41 mg/day) on bones were examined in 36 postmenopausal women (60.2±6.5 years old). Trabecular bone-mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (L1 to L3), estimated by computed tomography, increased by 0.5% in 18 exercising women and decreased by 7.0% in 18 sedentary women (P = 0.02). Femoral-neck BMD estimated by dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) increased by 2.0% in 18 women consuming high dietary Ca and decreased by 1.1% in 18 on moderate Ca intake (P = 0.001). Neither exercise nor dietary Ca had an effect on lumbar spine (L2 to L4) estimated by DPA, distal radius estimated by single-photon absorptiometry or total body Ca estimated by neutron activation in vivo. The varying proportions and rates of turnover of trabecular and cortical bone from one site to another suggest that exercise and high dietary Ca may preferentially alter bone density at different skeletal sites and help to prevent the development of osteoporosis.

N2  - The deoxyuridine suppression test (dUST) was performed on isolated rat colonocytes to establish its value as an indicator of folate status in the colonic epithelium. [³H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was suppressed &gt;90% by deoxyuridine (dU) concentrations &gt;2.5 µmol/litre. Preincubation of cells with 5-fluorouracil (1 to 100 µmol/litre) but not methotrexate (10 to 100 µmol/litre) resulted in a significant decrease in the degree of suppression. The dUST performed on colonocytes from folate-deficient rats displayed less suppression than on colonocytes from folate-replete rats (P&lt;0.05). The abnormal degree of suppression was corrected by adding folinic acid 100 µmol/litre. There was a negative correlation between the degree of suppression and the folate concentration of the colonic epithelium (P&lt;0.001). The data indicate that the dUST is useful for detecting folate deficiency in the colonic epithelium and may therefore be valuable in assessing a deficiency state localized to that epithelium.

N2  - The effect of linoleic acid (LA) on platelet aggregation was measured in 7 healthy adult men 29 to 44 years old. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups who were fed on natural food diets of identical composition except that one was high in LA (11.5% of energy) and low in oleic acid (OA) (7.4% of energy), the other was low in LA (4.5% of energy) and high in OA (15.7% of energy). The thresholds of ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation were increased significantly by the high LA diet even though the intake of total fat and saturated fatty acids did not differ in these diets.

N2  - Meadowfoam oil (from Limnanthes douglasii) is an unusual plant oil because over 95% of the fatty acids are 20- and 22-carbon aliphatic acids with cis double bonds located principally at the 5- and/or 13-position. Since little information is available on the metabolism of the 5c-20:1 and 5c,13c-22:2 fatty acids, an exploratory study in mice was conducted to investigate the metabolism of purified samples of the free fatty acids isolated from meadowfoam oil, and to determine the effect of meadowfoam oil on weight gain and tissue lipid composition. Mice fed diets containing 5% by weight of the purified 5c-20:1 or 5c,13c-22:2 acids for 6 days exhibited no apparent physiological problems. Total liver lipids from mice fed the purified fatty acid diets contained mean values of 2.0% 5c-20:1 and 2.1% 5c,13c-22:2; total heart lipids contained 1.7% 5c-20:1 and 10.7% 5c,13c-22:2. Liver total phospholipids from mice fed a 5% meadowfoam oil diet for 19 weeks contained 1.4% 5c-20:1 and 1.9% 5c,13c-22:2. There was no evidence of desaturation, elongation or retroconversion of acids. Weight gain for mice fed the meadowfoam oil diet for 19 weeks was similar to that of mice fed maize oil, and was higher than for mice fed hydrogenated cottonseed oil. Considering the high 5c-20:1 and 5c,13c-22:2 content of the diets, the percentages of these fatty acids in mouse tissue lipids from both the short- and long-term studies were low. Weight gain was surprisingly good, since the meadowfoam oil diet was essential fatty acid-deficient. Results of this initial investigation suggest that the 5c-20:1 and 5c,13c-22:2 fatty acids were utilised primarily for energy. In the short-term study, these fatty acids did not produce toxic effects or cause metabolic problems.

N2  - The EC has embarked on an ambitious programme to eliminate internal borders that will require EC-wide rules to replace national rules in the sensitive areas of public, animal, and plant health. This harmonization process is politically and technically complex and will not be fully complete by the time frontier controls are eliminated on January 1, 1993. Uncertainty regarding the import of non-EC goods could be a problem in the short term and in certain sensitive areas where the EC's approach to food safety differs from that of its trading partners. However, exporters who can meet EC standards will probably receive long-term benefits because they will have to meet only one standard instead of standards for each of the 12 member states.

N2  - Invisible hazards and imperfect knowledge and information about foodborne risks make food safety on explosive issue that can disrupt markets and cause substantial economic losses for everyone from farm input suppliers to consumers. This paper discusses the relationship between demand for food and food safety issues. From a global perspective, demand analyses are important for evaluating the impact of food safety issues on the food system and for evaluating alternative private and public food safety strategies and initiatives for addressing those issues. There are a number of competing and complementary theoretical and empirical approaches that have been developed in the demand literature that are directly relevant for analysing food safety issues. The paper places the many approaches into perspective by examining their strengths and weaknesses, and makes recommendations on the most viable approaches in demand analysis useful for studying food safety issues.

N2  - Consumers in the USA have expressed concern over health risks related to pesticide use in the production of fresh produce, but conversely, they are unwilling to pay a premium for pesticide-free produce. They are thus sending confused market signals to retailers and growers. This paper gathers information from consumers concerning food safety and pesticide use perceptions. From a survey of 389 individuals, using pesticides to grow food is the major food concern amongst consumers. However, there are limits to this concern, as consumers perceive fresh produce to be safer than, for example, foods with a high fat content, regardless of pesticide applications. Consumers felt that they should be able to expect food safety and were therefore unwilling to pay a 'safety' premium. They were more concerned with receiving safety assurances.

N2  - The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to survive freezing and frozen storage at -18°C was studied in ground beef, ground turkey, frankfurters, canned corn, ice cream mix and tomato soup. Injury of L. monocytogenes as a result of freezing and frozen storage, as well as the ability of various Listeria-selective media to quantitatively recover the organism after freezing were also investigated. The responses of the organism, i.e. survival, injury, and quantitative determination on selective media, were related to the pH (acidity) of the food. Five of the examined foods had pH values of ≥5.8 while tomato soup had a pH of 4.74. L. monocytogenes survived freezing and frozen storage well in 5 of the examined foods, was not injured, and was quantitatively recovered on Listeria-selective media. In contrast, the organism showed a decline in viable count after extended frozen storage in tomato soup, was injured, and could not be quantitatively recovered on Listeria-selective media. These results indicate that for most foods, freezing prior to analysis for L. monocytogenes should not hamper quantitative determination of the organism.

N2  - The effect of pre-inoculation temp. on the subsequent growth of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A at 5°C was examined in microbiological medium, UHT milk, canned dog food and raw ground beef (untreated and irradiation-sterilized). In microbiological medium, the duration of the lag phase was decreased when aerobic and anaerobic cultures were initially grown at ≤28 and ≤13°C resp. Subsequent exponential growth rates and max. population densities of the 5°C cultures were not affected by temp. history. Differences in lag phase durations were also observed when L. monocytogenes initially cultured at 19 and 37°C were grown at 5°C in UHT milk and some of the canned dog food varieties. Growth of L. monocytogenes was not observed in either untreated or irradiation-sterilized raw ground beef. While temp. history can affect the growth kinetics of L. monocytogenes at 5°C, it did not account for the lack of growth in raw meat, suggesting that there is an inhibitory condition or component in ground beef that is lost on cooking.

N2  - A new diet for the rearing of screwworm [Cochliomyia hominivorax] larvae, which has been developed by D. B. Taylor et al. at the screwworm rearing factory in Chiapas, Mexico, is briefly discussed. The diet is now gelled and incorporates the usual spray-dried bovine blood, spray-dried egg and milk substitute that used to be given in liquid form to larvae supported on acetate fibres. The new diet is saving US $25 000 a week in operation costs. As well as the economic savings, the new diet has resulted in greater emergence of adult flies from pupae (90 vs. 85%), which are thought to be fitter (and hence more competitive when released) than those reared on the old diet.

N2  - A total of 98 samples of feeds associated with 44 cases of equine leukoencephalomalacia (ELEM) and 83 samples of feed associated with 42 cases of a porcine pulmonary oedema syndrome (PPE) were analysed for fumonisin B1 (FB1). For comparison purposes, 51 feed samples not associated with PPE or ELEM were also analysed. Feed associated with ELEM contained FB1 ranging from &lt;1 to 126 µg/g with 75% of the cases having at least 1 sample &gt;10 µg/g. Feeds associated with PPE ranged from &lt;1 to 330 µg/g with 71% of the cases having at least 1 sample &gt;10µg/g. Quantitation was by HPLC/fluorescence using the fluorescamine derivative with confirmation by TLC and/or GC/MS.

N2  - The ability of anaerobic cultures from mature chicken caecal material stored at -70°C for 1 or 10 months to reduce Salmonella typhimurium colonization of the caeca of young chickens was evaluated. Anaerobic cultures from the caecal materials were given by mouth to groups of 15 broilers at 1 day old and 0 or 2.5% lactose in drinking water. At 3 days old, broilers were challenged with S. typhimurium 106 on day 10. Dietary lactose produced a 0.66- to 0.87-unit decrease in caecal pH, and significant increases in caecal lactic acid concentrations, undissociated caecal acetic and propionic acid concentrations, and caecal oxidation-reduction potentials. A combination of caecal anaerobes from the 1 month-old caecal material and lactose caused a greater reduction in S. typhimurium caecal colonization than any other treatment.

N2  - Whether iron binding by secreted mucus enhances Fe absorption and prevents excess iron absorption was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing Fe 0, 200 or 500 mg/kg diet (Fe-0, Fe-200 and Fe-500, respectively) for 3 weeks. Fe absorption was estimated in fasted rats using 59FeCl3 in a 10-min in situ duodenal ligated-segment procedure. After draining the segment contents, the mucus layer was separated from the underlying mucosal surface using Quarterman's agar cast technique. When compared with Fe-200 rats, Fe absorption in Fe-0 rats was markedly increased, but the 59Fe and total mucus in the mucus layer were decreased. The 59Fe absorption and total mucus and total iron in the mucus layer were similar in Fe-500 rats and Fe-200 rats, but the 59Fe in the mucus layer was marginally lower in Fe-500 rats. There was no evidence that mucus enhanced Fe absorption; it appeared to trap or bind iron proportionally to the amount of secreted mucus, suggesting protection against excess absorption. Mucus secretion and possibly synthesis were decreased in the Fe-0 rats.

N2  - 15 weanling male rats were fed on a copper-deficient (Cu 0.6µg/g) diet for 5 weeks. From the second week of this 5-week period, 6 of the rats were intraperitoneally injected once a week with packed red blood cells (RBC) obtained from Cu-deficient rats. The remaining 9 rats served as untreated controls. The administration of RBC to Cu-deficient rats fed on a high-fructose diet prevented anaemia. As a result, none of these rats exhibited heart hypertrophy or gross pathology and they all survived. In contrast, the 9 control Cu-deficient rats that had been fed fructose became anaemic and exhibited severe signs of Cu deficiency including heart hypertrophy with gross pathology; 4 of the rats died of the deficiency. The results suggest that the anaemia of Cu deficiency contributes to heart pathology. Once the anaemia is prevented, the Cu-deficient rats should be protected against heart pathology and mortality.

N2  - Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a copper-deficient (Cu 0.6 µg/g) diet containing 62% fructose (n = 15) or 62% starch (n = 6) for 5 weeks. 6 rats were injected daily with deferoxamine (DFX), an iron chelator that has been widely used to reduce iron overload, after 1 week on the fructose diet. After 5 weeks on the copper-deficient diet, iron concentration (µg/g liver) averaged 99±8 in DFX-treated rats, and 151±10 and 140±11 in those not treated with DFX and fed the high-starch and high-fructose diet, respectively. Only rats fed the fructose diet died during the experiment (4 of 9) or showed pathological changes in the heart. DFX-treatment increased haematocrit from 22±3 to 36±1% in rats fed the fructose diet; values for rats fed the starch diet averaged 45±1%.

N2  - Zinc intake was reduced in pregnant guineapigs beginning on the 30th day of gestation. Reduced Zn intake in 2 of 3 experiments resulted in abortion or premature delivery. Zn-supplemented dams with feed intake restricted to that of Zn-deficient dams also aborted or delivered prematurely. Zn-supplemented dams fed ad libitum delivered living young at term. Foetal/neonatal liver Zn concentration was low in the guineapigs compared to that reported for other animals and was affected to a lesser extent by low Zn intake by the dam. Zn concentration of neonatal plasma was also less than that in several other species. Change in activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme with addition of Zn in vitro was greater in the plasma of Zn-deficient guineapigs than in that of Zn-adequate guineapigs and may be useful as an indicator of Zn status.

N2  - 8 moderately overweight men (mean age 39 years) were fed at maintenance for 2 weeks, followed by 4 weeks at 50% of maintenance, then 1 week at maintenance. The diets were formulated to contain 40 or 20% of energy from fat. Daily energy expenditure (24-h EE) was estimated by indirect calorimetry at the end of the 2-week maintenance period; on days 1, 7, and 28 of reduced energy intake; and on days 1 and 7 of refeeding. During the reduced-energy period, body weight decreased from 96.6 to 91.5 kg and body fat decreased from 30.4 to 27.7%. There were no significant differences in 24-h EE or energy requirements per unit body weight due to diet composition or weight loss. Maintenance metabolizable energy (ME) requirement averaged 31 kcal/kg body weight. Overall, the efficiency of ME use relative to body stores was 0.87 and was greater for high-fat than for low-fat diets. There was some evidence of an increase in the efficiency of energy use of body stores after weight loss. Substrate use reflected diet composition and energy-balance status independent of changes in body composition.

N2  - Human milk has a high concentration of whey protein (70% of total protein). Of this, α-lactalbumin, a component of the lactase synthetase complex, accounts for 41% of the whey and 28% of the total protein. Only 3% of the protein in cow milk is α-lactalbumin. Human and cow α-lactalbumin have a 72% amino acid sequence homology. Both proteins contain (wt/wt) 6% tryptophan and 5% cysteine but only 0.9% methionine. The differences in the amino acid compositions of cow and human milks are therefore due to differences in their α-lactalbumin contents. Commercial availability of cow α-lactalbumin would allow the construction of infant formulas with amino acid compositions that are similar to that of human milk. α-Lactalbumin would also be a valuable constituent of diets for patients whose protein intake must be restricted.

N2  - Low-fat, "natural diets" were fed to 11 middle-aged, healthy male subjects for two 40-day periods to estimate effects on plasma lipoproteins. The diets were designed to maintain saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids at 10 energy% and linoleic acid (LA) at 3.8 and 10.8 energy%. When compared with baseline concentrations, total cholesterol decreased 10% at the end of the lower LA diet and 15% at the end of the higher LA diet. Low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased 18 and 22%, respectively, during the same periods. Plasma high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) at the end of each dietary period was not significantly different but the midpoint values were lower by 12.5% on the lower LA diet and 7.3% on the higher LA diet. Apolipoprotein B decreased 27% at the end of the lower LA diet and 37% at the end of the higher LA diet whereas apolipoprotein A-1 increased 18 and 24%, respectively. HDL-C was not reduced by dietary LA over a 6-week period.

N2  - The apparent vitamin B6 status of 31 children with familial hypophosphataemic rickets (FHR) was studied. All children had alkaline phosphatase activity that was high-normal to increased for their ages. A sensitive assay for pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) indicated that 15 of the 31 children had an undetectable (&lt;0.2 nmol/litre) concentration of the vitamer-the lowest value yet reported in human serum. The 16 remaining children had concentrations of the vitamer so low that they indicated a potential severe vitamin B6 deficiency. However, none of the children had ever presented with any of the classical vitamin B6-deficiency symptoms. Treatment of the 3 additional FHR children with pyridoxine 100 mg/day resulted in a moderate and transient increase of serum PLP concentrations, a dramatic increase of erythrocyte PLP concentrations, and no improvement in clinical condition. Serum or plasma PLP concentrations are an inappropriate index for determining vitamin B6 status in people with FHR and perhaps in others with increased alkaline phosphatase activity.

N2  - Prostaglandin E (PGE2) synthesis ex-vivo was studied in brain regions of 24-month-old male C57BL/6Nia mice. Mice were fed on semipurified diets containing 5% by weight of vitamin E-stripped maize oil, non-hydrogenated coconut oil or fish oil, or 3.8% lard + 1.2% stripped maize oil (control), each supplemented with vitamin E 30 or 500 mg/kg for 6 weeks. In addition, 2 groups of mice were fed on control diets containing ethoxyquin 2500 mg/kg or indomethacin 1 mg/kg daily. Mice fed on fish oil had lower (P&lt;0.01) plasma α-tocopherol than those fed on coconut oil. Vitamin E supplementation had no effect on the concentration of α-tocopherol in most brain regions. The rank order of PGE2 synthesis among all groups was cerebrum = cerebellum &gt; midbrain &gt; brainstem. Vitamin E supplementation reduced brain PGE2 synthesis. Fat with 30 mg/kg of vitamin E had no effect on brain PGE2 synthesis. Mice fed on fish oil had significantly lower PGE2 compared with mice fed on coconut oil when they received 500 mg/kg of vitamin E in their diet. In the brainstem, fish oil significantly reduced PGE2 relative to mice fed on maize oil. Ethoxyquin lowered plasma αtocopherol by 42% and reduced the PGE2 synthesis in brain regions, and indomethacin reduced it by 50%. Ethoxyquin and indomethacin significantly reduced the brain's regional capacity for PGE2 synthesis, whereas vitamin E was not effective for the period tested. Data suggest that the reduction of PGE2 synthesis in the brain with fish oil feeding was not as notable as reported for other tissues unless combined with high-dose vitamin E supplementation.

N2  - After parturition, Sprague-Dawley dams were fed on diets containing copper 0.6 or 6 mg/kg of diet. Young were weaned to the diet of their dam or to the diet fed to dams in the other treatment group in a crossover design. At 7 weeks old, Cu-deficient rats were characterized by low tissue Cu and an enlarged heart with increased concentrations of dopamine (DA) and decreased concentrations of norepinephrine (NE). These changes resulting from Cu deficiency were independent of gender. In vivo synthesis of cardiac NE from DA in Cu-adequate rats was significantly greater than in Cu-deficient rats. Turnover of cardiac NE was estimated from the temporal change in the specific activity of [³H]NE. Fractional turnover rates (percentage per h) of cardiac NE were similar in both dietary groups, although the cardiac turnover of NE (ng/h) was 1.4-fold higher in Cu-adequate rats than in Cu-deficient rats. Repletion of Cu-deficient rats with dietary Cu increased the total amount of cardiac NE to 78 and 93% of control values after 1 and 2 days, respectively. Significant changes in the quantities of NE and DA in the heart of rats whose intake of Cu was restricted from birth were first detected at 4 weeks of age, but cardiac hypertrophy was not observed until 5 weeks of age. Data suggest that the altered levels of DA and NE in the heart of CU-deficient rats are the result of decreased activity of DA-B-monooxygenase and show that Cu supplementation rapidly repletes cardiac NE in Cu-deficient rats. Moreover, changes in the concentrations of NE and DA in the heart precede and may contribute to the development of cardiac hypertrophy.

N2  - 15 young (22 to 35 years old) and 10 older (51 to 71 years old) women received 6 capsules of fish oil (Pro-Mega) daily, providing eicosapentaenoic (EPA) 1680 mg, docosahexaenoic (DHA) 720 mg, other fatty acids 600 mg, and vitamin E 6 IU. Blood was collected before and after 1, 2 and 3 months of supplementation. Compliance was confirmed by the significant increase in plasma EPA and DHA in all women. Older women had a significantly higher increase in EPA and DHA than did young women (10-fold increases in EPA and 2.5-fold increases in DHA vs. 8-fold in EPA and 2-fold in DHA for older and young women, respectively). The decrease in the arachidonic acid:EPA ratio was more apparent in the older women. Plasma total triglycerides (TG) decreased significantly, and the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids was significantly increased. Plasma vitamin E concentrations did not change significantly after supplementation; however, after 3 months of supplementation by young women, plasma vitamin E was significantly lower than after 1 month. The vitamin E:TG ratio was significantly increased and vitamin E:(EPA + DHA) significantly decreased. All women showed a significant increase in plasma lipid peroxide through month 2 of supplementation. After 2 months, older women had significantly higher lipid peroxide concentrations than young women. The lipid peroxide:TG ratio, which declined by month 3, was significantly higher than baseline. These data indicate that although long-term fish oil supplementation may be beneficial in reducing plasma total TG, susceptibility of plasma lipids to free radical attack is potentiated. Furthermore, the decrease in plasma vitamin E:(EPA + DHA) and increase in plasma lipid peroxide, particularly in the older subjects, indicates that vitamin E content of fish oil capsules may not be sufficient to provide adequate antioxidant protection.

N2  - Absorption and biological half-life of 54Mn were estimated in adult men and women fed foods labelled intrinsically or extrinsically with 54Mn. Each subject consumed a series of 3 test meals consisting of a food labelled intrinsically, a food labelled extrinsically or MnCl2 (control) served in random order. The foods tested were lettuce, spinach, wheat and sunflower seeds. Lettuce meals and their controls contained Mn 9.65 µmol; other meals contained Mn 22.50 µmol. In addition to the test food or MnCl2, each meal consisted of vegetable oil (5 g), salt (NaCl, 0.15 g) and crackers (10 g), which provided Mn 0.55 µmol. There were no differences in percent of Mn absorption or biological half-life of 54Mn for any of the intrinsically/extrinsically labelled food pairs. Absorption of 54Mn from MnCl2 (8.90%) was greater than from lettuce (5.20%), spinach (3.81%), wheat (2.16%) or sunflower seeds (1.71%), but the biological half-life did not vary with the source of Mn. Absorption of 54Mn from lettuce was greater (P&lt;0.05) than from wheat or sunflower seeds. Although the Mn dose in the test meal was less for lettuce than for the other foods, there was no difference in Mn absorption from MnCl2 between the subjects fed lettuce and subjects fed other foods. There was no correlation of 54Mn absorption or biological half-life with whole blood or plasma Mn.

N2  - Lewis rats were nursed by dams fed on a diet containing copper adequate (6 µg/g) or deficient (0.6 µg/g) during the lactation period and weaned to the same diet. Splenic mononuclear cells were isolated and the phenotypic profile determined by flow cytometry after immunolabelling with monoclonal antibodies to cell surface markers. Total splenic mononuclear cell yield and the relative percent and absolute number of T-cells and the CD4+ (helper) and CD8+ (cytotoxic) T-subsets were decreased in Cu-deficient male rats. The relative percent, but not the absolute numbers, of splenic B-cells and macrophages was increased by Cu deficiency. The percent of splenic mononuclear cells from male rats that expressed interleukin-2 receptors and transferrin receptors in vivo was increased by Cu deficiency. In contrast, dietary Cu deficiency did not affect the yield and phenotypic profile of splenic mononuclear cells in female rats. Reactivity of splenic mononuclear cells to T-cell mitogens was decreased in Cu-depleted male and female rats. However, mitogen-induced increases in levels of interleukin-2 receptor and transferrin receptor were similar in cultures of splenic mononuclear cells obtained from controls and rats subjected to restricted dietary intake of Cu only during the post-lactation period. It is suggested that decreased mitogenic blastogenesis on exposure of cells from Cu-deficient rats does not reflect a non-specific impairment of cellular activation.

N2  - Luminal factors that might participate in the physiological Fe3+ reduction before Fe absorption, was studied in weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed on diets containing Fe 7 mg/kg (deficient (-Fe)) or 160-200 mg/kg (adequate (+Fe)) for 3 weeks prior to a 10-min test of 59Fe absorption from an in vivo ligated duodenal segment. During absorption of 59Fe, the oxidation-reduction potential was reduced and the pH increased in segment contents. There were small but significant differences between the -Fe and the +Fe rats. Ascorbic acid, non-protein sulfhydryl compounds, Fe2+ and total ionizable Fe were estimated in luminal contents. Non-protein sulfhydryl concentration was positively correlated with, and the best predictor of, Fe absorption in -Fe rats.

N2  - The pyridoxine requirements of 12 men and women over 60 years old were studied during a 5-day baseline period and 4 experimental periods during which the subjects successively received pyridoxine 0.003, 0.015, 0.0225 and 0.03375 mg kg body weight-1 day-1. Daily dietary protein was 1.2 or 0.8 g kg bodyweight-1 day-1. At 5-or 6-day intervals, xanthurenic acid (XA) after a 5-g L-tryptophan load and 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) in 24-h urine, erythrocyte aspartate aminotransferase activity coefficient (EAST-AC) and plasma pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) were measured. These measurements were abnormal during pyridoxine depletion but returned to normal during repletion. Men who ingested about 120 g of protein daily required pyridoxine 1.96±0.11 mg to normalize XA; women who ingested 78 g protein daily required pyridoxine 1.90±0.18 mg to normalize XA. To attain normal levels of EAST-AC and 4-PA in men, pyridoxine 2.88±0.17 mg were needed; to normalize PLP, pyridoxine 1.96±0.11 mg were required. Women required pyridoxine 1.90±0.18 mg or more to normalize these measurements. Pyridoxine requirements were not decreased in 2 of 3 subjects who ingested 54 g of protein daily. It is suggested that pyridoxine requirements of elderly men and women are about 1.96 and 1.90 mg/day, respectively.

N2  - Sucking rats, 1 to 28 days old, were studied to determine the normal developmental changes in the protein synthetic activity of gastrointestinal tissue. Changes that occurred in response to 10 or 18 h of fasting at 5, 10, 16 and 28 days of age were also studied. Protein synthesis was measured in vivo using a flooding dose of L-[4-³H]phenylalanine. Fractional protein synthesis rates (FSR, %/day) of stomach and small intestines increased 80% during weaning (days 18 to 28). Between birth and 28 days, the pancreas FSR increased about 6.5-fold from 46 to 302%/day. The increases in stomach, small intestinal and pancreatic FSR were due to increases in translational efficiency (g protein synthesized/g RNA). At 5, 10, 16 and 28 days post-partum, both the FSR and translational efficiency in pancreatic and small intestinal tissues were decreased after 10 h of fasting; however, measures in stomach tissue were unaffected. The magnitude of decline in FSR and translational efficiency in response to fasting was greater during the earlier than in the later stages of development. Results suggest that the FSR in the pancreas, small intestines and stomach of sucking rats increase during development associated with weaning. Fasting affected protein synthetic activity in pancreatic and small intestinal tissue in the early stages of development.

N2  - To determine whether dietary arginine could reverse age-associated losses in immune functions, purified amino acid diets were fed to young (2-month-old) and aged (24-month-old) Fischer 344 rats. Rats receiving control (1.12% arginine) or supplemented (3% arginine) diets were pair fed to intakes of deficient (0% arginine) rats. Another group was fed on the supplemented diet ad libitum. On day 15, responses of splenocytes to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) were lower (P&lt;0.01), but interleukin-2 (IL-2) production was higher (P&lt;0.05) in aged rats than in young rats. At mitogen doses producing maximal stimulation, supplemental arginine did not enhance PHA-, Con A- or PWM-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation; PWM responses at sub-maximal doses were higher in pair fed supplemented rats than in control or ad libitum supplemented rats (P&lt;0.05). Arginine supplements did not increase thymus weights or IL-2 production above controls. In another experiment, weanling rats received control and supplemented diets in amounts equal to the intake of deficient rats for an average of 37 days. Splenocytes were cultured with mitogens at various arginine levels. No diet effect was observed. Mitogenesis was maximal when media arginine was about normal plasma concentrations. Results suggest that supplemental arginine has little effect on lymphocyte proliferation or IL-2 production in healthy young and aged rats.

N2  - Adult equivalence scales for income are a method of head counting typically employed to adjust household budgets to permit welfare comparisons across different sized households. This article examines the effects of different income and food spending adult equivalence scales on estimated expenditure elasticities, on the demographic characteristics of the rich and poor, and on the percentage of household income spent on food by various income quintiles. The data set is the interview portion of the US Bureau of Labour Statistics' 1982 Continuing Consumer Expenditure Survey. Empirical results are found to be heavily influenced by the choice of equivalence scale. For example, elasticities varied by over 300%, and the demographic characteristics of the poor varied greatly.

N2  - The postprandial response of calcium metabolism to single meals varying in protein source and level was estimated in 8 postmenopausal women (51 to 65 years old). Following an overnight fast, subjects consumed a liquid meal containing protein 15 or 45 g from beef (B), cottage cheese (C), or soy isolate (S; 45 g only); 1 meal provided protein 0 g (basal). Blood was collected before the meal and at 30, 60, 120, and 180 min post-meal. Urine was collected every 30 min post-meal. Urinary Ca excretion significantly increased following 45-g protein meals when compared with basal meals, but not when compared with 15-g protein meals. Although glomerular filtration rate was unaffected by diet, percent renal tubular Ca reabsorption was significantly reduced following C45 or S45 meals. No consistent changes in serum values of parathyrin and calcitonin (Ct) were observed in response to diet. Serum phosphorus values were significantly reduced following high-protein compared with no-protein meals. Insulin response varied with protein level and source (C45 &gt; S45 &gt; C15 &gt; B45 &gt; B15 &gt; basal). Significant associations found between insulin and Ca metabolism indicate a possible role of insulin in the mechanism of protein-induced calciuria.

N2  - Listeria monocytogenes cells, if subjected to sublethal stress, may be injured, i.e. they fail to grow in media containing selective agents even though non-injured cells normally grow in such media. Both injured and non-injured cells form colonies on non-selective agars. L. monocytogenes has been shown to undergo heat, acid, and freeze-thaw injury. Both acid- and heat-injured cells will not grow in the presence of phenylethanol, acriflavin, tellurite, polymyxin, NaCl, or a combination of these compounds when they are used in media as listerial selective agents. The addition of sugars, polyols, or salts to the heating menstruum protected L. monocytogenes against heat injury; however, fructose and NH4Cl were unusual in not being protective and actually potentiated killing by the normally sublethal heat treatment. Repair of heat-injured L. monocytogenes took place in 6 to 9 h in non-selective medium at temperatures ranging from 20 to 40°C but not at 5 or 12°C. Unlike repair in other microbial systems, the addition of pyruvate or catalase to selective media did not enhance repair of heat-injured L. monocytogenes. The paucity of information on the injury and repair phenomena in Listeria indicates that more studies are needed in order to adequately evaluate the importance of injured L. monocytogenes.

N2  - A wind-tunnel bioassay was developed to test for the presence of sex attractants in P. exclamans. Males exhibited significant upwind flight and attraction (chemoanemotaxis) in response to airflow passed over unmated females, and to hexane extracts of whole bodies and thoraces of unmated females. Unmated females were attracted to hexane extracts of males and to hexane extracts of each body tagma of males, suggesting distribution of the pheromone over the cuticle by grooming. The ectal mandibular and 7th sternal glands are the likely sources of the male-produced sex attractant(s), since extracts of each elicited female attraction in the flight tunnel. These glands are associated with gastral and mandibular rubbing of perch sites in terrestrial males.

N2  - Male chicks were deprived of food for 48 h to study the effect of metabolic stress on hepatic membrane and lipoprotein fluidity and binding of radioiodinated lipoproteins to hepatic membranes. Plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were markedly and slightly increased, respectively. There was a reduction in lipoprotein and hepatic membrane fluidity. Binding of [125I]LDL, but not [125I]HDL, to hepatic membranes was decreased. It is suggested that a reduction in the fluidity of LDL and/or hepatic membranes impedes LDL catabolism in vivo.

N2  - Methods were developed for the separation, detection and quantification of tocopherols and phytosterols by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an evaporative light-scattering detector. The α-, β, γ and δ tocopherols and 4 phytosterols (campesterol, β-sitosterol, brassicasterol and stigmasterol) were analysed in soyabean, sunflower, low-erucic acid rapeseed and maize oils. The use of an evaporative light-scattering detector, in conjunction with modification of methods from the literature to prepare and analyse tocopherols and phytosterols by HPLC, showed consistent results between trials and levels of these minor constituents.

N2  - National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1563-2, Cholesterol and Fat-Soluble Vitamins in Coconut Oil, and SRM 1845, Cholesterol in Whole Egg Powder, were used to monitor the accuracy and precision of analyses in a nationwide study of cholesterol in eggs. A 2-phase study was conducted between June 1988 and May 1989 by US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in collaboration with the egg industry to update the USDA nutrient data for eggs. Estimation of cholesterol received special emphasis since dietary cholesterol is monitored as part of the assessment of the relation between diet and coronary disease. During each phase of the study, eggs were collected from 122 of the top 200 US egg handlers in 6 regions of the country, representing 67% of the nation's monthly egg production. During phase I egg yolks were composited into 24 analytical samples. As a result of low variance in cholesterol values for phase I, egg yolks in phase II were composited into 6 samples. The selection of the analytical contractor was based on results of analyses of SRM 1563-2, a USDA frozen egg material, and a whole egg powder material (SRM 1845, candidate status) submitted by several laboratories. In all cases the results by the selected contractor were within 1% of the certified or recommended values. The contractor used SRM 1563-2 as well as an in-house cholesterol-spiked oil research material to validate the modified AOAC method which incorporated ethanolic potassium hydroxide saponification followed by gas chromatography. During the analysis of nationwide samples the contractor analysed SRMs 1563-2 and 1845, as well as the cholesterol-spiked oil and the USDA frozen egg material to monitor accuracy and precision. Over the course of the study, coefficients of variation for all materials were less than 5%. As a result of rigorous quality control the cholesterol results for eggs have been regarded which confidence and used to update various public and private data bases used to monitor dietary cholesterol.

N2  - Although the USSR is the world's biggest milk producer, only 60% of the protein in its milk is consumed by humans. Problems in the USSR dairy industry are closely interrelated with product distribution problems in the meat industry. The perennial unsatisfied demand for meat turned attention to the protein reserves implicit in the poor utilization of milk and the 1982 food programme set a production goal of 1 million t cheese by 1990, although there is still insufficient storage capacity to ripen cheese adequately and the necessary investment has not been readily available. Coordination with manufacturers of food-processing equipment also continues to be a problem for dairy factories and meat-processing factories, because Soviet suppliers in general are unresponsive to their customers' needs. This may change with perestroika.

N2  - Mosquito attraction responses to substances collected from human skin and placed on glass petri dishes were studied. Mosquito response varied according to the source of the substance. Substances removed from the head and hands elicited the greatest attraction response in laboratory-reared mosquitoes. Mosquito response lasted up to 6 h when the substance was aged and was increased by warming the samples from ca. 25°C to 37°C. Of the 12 mosquito species studied (Aedes albopictus, A. aegypti, A. taeniorhynchus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, A. freeborni, A. albimanus, A. crucians, Coquillettidia perturbans, Culex quinquefasciatus, C. salinarius, C. nigripalpus and Mansonia spp.), attraction response was greatest in Aedes aegypti. It is cautioned that residues deposited by handling traps or other apparatus used in mosquito studies may influence test results.

N2  - A chitin-synthesizing cockroach (Blattella germanica) cell line (UMBGE-4) previously shown to secrete ecdysteroids was analysed for its ability to metabolize potential precursors of ecdysone (e.g. 2-deoxyecdysone, 2,22-dideoxyecdysone, 2,22,25-trideoxyecdysone and cholesterol). All, except cholesterol, were actively metabolized by UMBGE-4 cells. However, all but 2-deoxyecdysone were converted to polar and hydrolysable metabolites, and not to ecdysone. Labelling with cholesterol was unsuccessful. Labelling experiments with moulting hormones, i.e. ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone [ecdysterone], confirmed that this cell line can metabolize ecdysteroids and allowed identification of some of the products. Moulting hormones were converted into acetate conjugates and polar conjugates which were often double-conjugates, i.e. polar conjugates of acetate conjugates. Labelling experiments with ecdysone demonstrate that this cell line possesses a low ecdysone 20-hydroxylase activity. The capacity of UMBGE-2 cells, which do not synthesize chitin or ecdysteroids, was also examined. Neither ecdysone nor ecdysterone was significantly metabolized by UMBGE-2 cells. 2-Deoxyecdysone and 2,22-dideoxyecdysone were very slowly metabolized to more polar compounds.

N2  - The gregarious parasitoid T. stomoxydis collected near Harare, Zimbabwe, and host-specific for S. calcitrans was studied at 25.5°C and RH 70-80%. It was endoparasitic, using the body of the host as a cocoon within the puparium. Males emerged first, and mating occurred as soon as the females emerged. Females preferred pupae &lt;24 h old, but would parasitize 1-, 2- and 3-day-old pupae. Oviposition time was 30-45 min, with one oviposition wound per host. Immature development was 13-18 (mean, 15) days, with a male-to-female sex ratio of 1:3, and a growth rate of 7.9 fold. Each pupa was capable of producing 6-20 (mean, 11.5) females. The daily survival rate of adult females was 0.3419.

N2  - The histerid beetle A. rothkirchi was studied in the laboratory to evaluate its potential as a biological control agent for the horn fly, Haematobia irritans. A. rothkirchi was an effective predator when all immature stages of the fly were subject to predation; however, it was significantly less efficient when the egg stage was not subject to predation. When all immature stages of the fly were exposed to varying numbers (1 to 5) of adult beetles, fly population reductions were significantly greater at all levels compared to the controls. However, there was no significant difference in predation when predator density was increased. When only larvae and pupae of the horn fly were exposed to predation by A. rothkirchi, increased densities of 3 or more beetles resulted in significantly greater fly predation than did densities of 1 or 2 beetles.

N2  - The copepod M. varicans was infected with P. anophelis by uninucleate meiospores from a field-collected 4th-instar larva of A. quadrimaculatus. Large numbers of uninucleate, pyriform spores developed in the copepod. These spores were fed to early-instar mosquito larvae, infecting both males and females, resulting in the production of cylindrical, binucleate spores in the adult. These spores were responsible for vertical transmission, through the eggs, to the larvae. The original spore type collected from the field (in Florida) was found in the male progeny from the infected females. Another P. anophelis-infected mosquito colony was established by feeding spores from a single, field-collected, infected copepod to A. quadrimaculatus larvae. The microsporidium was continuously maintained by vertical transmission in newly established, infected colonies.

N2  - Field studies were conducted in phosphate mined areas of Polk County, Florida, to determine the responses of mosquitoes produced as a result of mining operations to octenol and carbon dioxide. There was a highly significant response of all species except C. erraticus and Anopheles quadrimaculatus to CO2. Also, a significant negative octenol response was shown for A. quadrimaculatus. Coquillettidia perturbans, M. titillans and Culex salinarius had an increased response to octenol relative to no attractant. There was a slightly negative interactive effect between octenol and 500 ml/min CO2 for A. quadrimaculatus, A. crucians and Culex (Melanoconion) spp. Both Coquillettidia perturbans and M. titillans showed a significant synergistic enhancement in catch with octenol supplemented CO2 when compared with CO2 alone. However, their response to CO2 was not significantly different at 2 release rates (200 and 500 ml/min). There was a slightly greater than additive effect for the combination of octenol and CO2 for Culex nigripalpus.

N2  - Details of the development, life cycles and sporogony of polymorphic microsporidia of mosquitoes and copepod crustacea are summarized and compared. Recent discoveries of P. anophelis which infects Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Microcyclops varicans, and P. obesa of A. quadrimaculatus and A. crucians with an alternative host as yet unknown, are contrasted with equivalent characteristics of Amblyospora spp., and spore types (where known) infecting the mosquito or copepod host are given in a table comparing all Amblyosporidae with known horizontal transmission cycles. In all Amblyospora spp., haploid spores infect only the females of their copepod hosts but in P. anophelis these spores infect both sexes of M. varicans. Binucleate spores infect both sexes of the appropriate mosquito host larvae in all cases except P. obesa in which they infect only female larvae, while meiospores infect only male larvae except for P. obesa in which both sexes of the anopheline host larvae are infected.

N2  - Recent studies at the author's laboratory aimed at developing new methods of control of livestock pests by means of B. thuringiensis toxins are briefly described. Larvicidal effects of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis on Haematobia irritans are not due to β-exotoxin, but to an unknown component (or perhaps synergistic combination of components) of the crystal endotoxin proteins which it is hoped will be identified through immunochemical methods currently under development. Larvae of Xenopsylla cheopis are killed by B. thuringiensis β-exotoxin but were insensitive to all other B. thuringiensis toxins tested. Other work related to the isolation, identification and potential production of B. thuringiensis toxins is also outlined.

N2  - Leucokinins V-VIII (Lem-K-V to VIII) did not activate visceral muscles of the cockroach L. maderae [Rhyparobia maderae] uniformly as a group but rather showed a selective action on the muscles of the hindgut. This organ showed a contractile response to all of the leucokinins at 3×10-10M that was 2-20% above the mean level of spontaneous activity. The maximum response for each peptide was recorded at 2.1×10-7M. Both the foregut and the oviduct were 100- to 1000-fold less sensitive than the hindgut, and each of the former required more than 10-8M to elicit a detectable excitation. The heart, by comparison, did not respond to any of these peptides. The leucokinins caused a protracted excitation of contractile events in the hindgut that lasted for &gt;60 min. Moreover, all 4 peptides evoked contractions from hindguts after membrane depolarization with 158 mM potassium. These results suggest that non-synaptic receptors for the peptides exist in visceral muscle.

N2  - A T. spiralis cDNA expression library was constructed in λgt11 from muscle larvae mRNA and immunologically screened to identify genes encoding previously described immunodiagnostic excretory-secretory (ES) antigens. Screening the library with T. spiralis infection serum from swine or rabbit antiserum to T. spiralis ES antigen identified one clone, designated TsA-12, that contains a cDNA transcript 539 bp in length and codes for an apparent 123 000 MW β-galactosidase fusion protein that does not cross-react with Trichuris suis or Ascaris suum infection serum. Western blots of T. spiralis extracts and immunoperoxidase staining of tissue sections from muscle larvae using antibodies to purified TsA-12 demonstrated homology between TsA-12 and the 53 000 MW diagnostic antigen from ES products (designated Ts.53) and localized the homologous native antigen to the stichocyte cells of the parasite. ELISA tests using TsA-12 as antigens, detected antibodies to T. spiralis in experimentally-infected mice as early as 14 days pi with maximum antibody titres being reached at 28 days pi. The TsA-12 dscDNA hybridized to mRNA sequences expressed in both the muscle larvae and adult stages; however, concomitant expression of the native antigen was not observed within adult ES products. Southern blots of homologous and heterologous DNAs probed with 32P-labelled TsA-12 dscDNA fragments verified TsA-12 as a T. spiralis specific sequence that is present in multiple copies within the parasite genome.

N2  - A red fox (V. vulpes), with signs of neurological disease was captured in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The animal died in captivity and was examined because of suspected rabies. The liver had pale foci up to 4 mm in diameter. Foci of necrosis were associated with Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites in several organs including liver, lungs and adrenal glands. Rabies antigen and distemper virus inclusions were not detected. A diagnosis of acute disseminated toxoplasmosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining.

N2  - This book, which is divided into 10 chapters, attempts to provide a current and comprehensive review of cryptosporidiosis in man and animals. Chapter 1 is introductory and provides a general review of the history, taxonomy, structure, life cycle, pathogenesis, pathology, clinical signs and symptoms, immunity, epidemiology, treatment, prevention, and control of Cryptosporidium. Chapter 2 emphasizes techniques including diagnostic methods for identifying the tissue and faecal stages, the maintenance of the parasite in the laboratory, collections, purification and preservation, preparation of antigens, and serological techniques. Chapter 3 deals with Cryptosporidium in surface waters and in drinking water. Successive chapters address cryptosporidiosis in various hosts including man, cattle and other ruminants, rodents, dogs, cats and other mammals, pigs, horses, fish and reptiles, and birds. There is an exhaustively complete bibliography and cross-referenced index. Individual chapters are written by specialists with first-hand knowledge of the subject area. This book attempts to provide a broad coverage of current information needed by public health workers, physicians, veterinarians, parasitologists, technicians, and various biologists who encounter or work with this parasitic disease.

N2  - Bacillus cereus, B. popilliae, Micrococcus nigrofasciens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were isolated from pest species of Phyllophaga in southern Quebec. All 5 species of bacteria were pathogenic to larvae by injection, but only the spore-forming B. popilliae and B. cereus were infectious when administered orally. B. cereus was found to be a potential microbial control agent of Phyllophaga spp. A local isolate and a commercial preparation (Doom) of B. popilliae were assayed by oral, injection and soil applications of inocula. Both isolates were weakly to not infectious, killing up to 7.5% of test larvae when orally applied at 3 × 106 spores per individual. B. popilliae was not considered a promising biological control agent.

N2  - A stable isotope of selenium in a chemical form common in foods (selenomethionine) or inorganic selenite was taken orally (200 µg/daily) for 3 weeks to label deep body pools. By deep body pools it is meant that Se compartments that are large and/or have a slow turnover (exchange) rate. Blood plasma was removed, stored for 11 months and later reinfused as a labelled tracer dose with the Se label in all of the biologically significant chemical forms. Accessible tissues such as erythrocytes were highly labelled (20 to 25%) in persons receiving selenomethionine. Se from deep body pools is excreted primarily via the urine (80%). Re-excretion of previously absorbed Se back into the gastrointestinal tract can be estimated, avoiding a major source of error in conventional balance studies used to estimate nutrient absorption.

N2  - Maize distillers' grains (CDG) were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and with SC-CO2 plus water and/or ethanol, at pressures of 63 600, 68 000, and 81 600 kPa (9350, 10 000 and 12 000 psi) and at temperatures around 84° and 102°C. CDG extracted with SC-CO2 had lower fat and higher neutral detergent fibre contents than untreated CDG. Defatted CDG had acceptable flavour scores. CDG treated with SC-CO2 may thus have potential as a food ingredient with high protein and dietary fibre contents.

N2  - Two monoclonal antibodies (AD-1 and AD-2) were prepared by fusion of mouse myeloma cells and lymph node cells of mice immunized with porcine adipocyte plasma membranes. Immunoprecipitation of iodinated adipocyte plasma membrane proteins followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography yielded protein antigens for each antibody. The AD-1 and AD-2 antigens were detected on mature adipocytes and a proportion of non-lipid-containing cells in stromal-vascular cultures. Adipocytes and associated capillary networks in subcutaneous adipose tissues as well as capillaries between the underlying muscle fibre bundles bound each antibody, whereas the AD-2 monoclonal antibody also reacted with vessels but not capillaries in liver tissues. In stromal-vascular cell cultures prepared from newborn pig subcutaneous tissue, the AD-1 and AD-2 antibodies exhibited reactivity towards 45% and 10%, respectively, of cells 24 h after seeding. However, only 4% and 1% of the cells in cultures prepared from 60 day foetal subcutaneous tissues expressed detectable amounts of the AD-1 and AD-2 antigens, respectively. Data suggests that cells along the adipogenic lineage possess cell surface antigens which may not be unique to adipogenic cells, but do exhibit differential expression among cell populations within adipose tissues. A temporal relationship between adipogenesis and angiogenesis was also demonstrated.

N2  - In this review the importance of some new essential trace elements in nutrition is discussed. It is suggested that insufficient intake of a specific trace element becomes obvious only when the body is stressed in some way that enhances the need for that element; as supported by recent findings with selenium. It is concluded that the importance of trace elements in nutritional, metabolic, hormonal, or physiological stress in animals and man, indicate that situations will be found in which a trace element is of nutritional significance.

N2  - Influence of storage on oryzenin, starch amylose, and amylopectin was studied in grains of 2 US rice varieties (Lemont, long grain, and Mercury, medium grain). Although total protein and starch content did not change during storage, protein solubility decreased. Storage of rice grains, especially at higher storage temperatures, resulted in increased disulphide bonds and average molecular weight of oryzenin. On the other hand, the average molecular weight of amylose decreased, but that of amylopectin increased. Oryzenin interacted with starch by reversible binding to amylopectin or amylose or both. This binding decreased during storage, especially at higher storage temperatures, and was related to the stickiness of cooked rice.

N2  - This article reviews principles of bioelectrical impedance, current use of bioelectrical impedance analysis and future research needs. Since Nyboer's initial work in the 1970s, the method has expanded to include validation of bioelectrical impedance analysis for assessment of total body water (TBW), fat-free mass (FFM), percentage of body fat (% fat), extracellular fluid volumes (ECF), monitoring weight reduction and segmental body composition measurements. Best prediction equations for TBW, FFM, % fat and ECF are tabulated. An overview of research literature on use of bioelectrical impedance analysis for estimation of FFM and % fat is given for children and adults. Measurement and analysis of body segments and axes are discussed. Sources of variation in results of studies are highlighted. Research results suggest use of whole body resistance, either as an index with height, or as a single variable used in conjunction with other predictors (weight, sex, height), can provide accurate estimates of body composition.

N2  - Assistance under the USA's Food Stamp Program depends on the State's population and economic condition. Thirty-two States each received more than $100 million in Federal food stamp assistance during 1989. On a regional basis, the 14 States in the Southeast and Midwest accounted for the largest shares of programme benefits, each receiving between $154 million and $750 million. Nine States, including Texas, California, and New York, totalled more than $400 million each. The USA is a leader among nations that provide international food aid. FAO estimates that in 1989/90 the USA would have provided almost 53% of total world cereal aid shipments. World cereal aid shipments were expected to be about 11.6 Mt in 1989/90. The EC would have donated 28%, followed by Canada with 7%, and Japan and Australia with about 3% each. Other major donors include Argentina, Austria, the Scandinavian countries and Switzerland, and the World Food Program.

N2  - Over 300 shoppers in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, entering supermarkets completed a questionnaire about purchasing certified pesticide residue-free (CPRF) fresh produce. Half expressed concern about pesticide use on fresh produce. Two- thirds were willing to pay 5%-10% higher prices to obtain CPRF fresh produce, but were unwilling to accept any cosmetic defects or insect damage. For assuring no pesticide residues, shoppers preferred certification by independent testing laboratories as opposed to promises by growers that no pesticides were used in production. A target market of white, college-educated, middle to higher income shoppers was identified for CPRF fresh produce.

N2  - During the autumn of 1989, in an episode of equine leukoencephalomalacia involving 18 of 66 purebred Arabian horses at a breeding/training stable in Arizona, the condition was fatal in 14. These horses as well as 48 unaffected horses, had been fed a diet containing a substantial amount of white corn screenings. Gross pathological findings included liquefactive necrosis in parts of the cerebral white matter and haemorrhagic foci of various sizes in the brain stem. Histopathological findings included rarefied white matter with pyknotic nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy were utilized to identify and quantitate fumonisin B1 in 3 samples of corn from the farm. Concentrations of fumonisin B1 ranged from 37 to 122 ppm [mg/kg feed]. Fumonisin B2 was also detected. Using information on diet, animal weights, and feeding practices, estimates of total fumonisin B1 dosage were determined. This is the first definitive report on equine leukoencephalomalacia and associated fumonisin B1 concentrations.

N2  - The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to survive dehydrated storage at different temp. (5 vs. 25°C) and relative humidities (75, 59, 35, 14 and 1%) when suspended in different menstrua was studied. L. monocytogenes survived longer when held at 5°C than at 25°C, and when suspended in beef extract, glycerol, Karo syrup, dried skim milk and canned milk compared with distilled water. The contribution of relative humidity to survival was less clear, although survival tended to be longer at the lower relative humidities. At 5°C when suspended in beef extract and held at relative humidities of 59% and below, there was less than a 2 log10 decline in the viable population (starting count approx. 105/coverslip). L. monocytogenes was not injured during drying or storage at the various relative humidities. In addition, based on the Listeria selective media evaluated, these Listeria media permitted quantitative recovery of the organism dried on surfaces. These results suggested that once L. monocytogenes has contaminated a food processing plant, it can persist for long periods in the plant environment if the temp. is low and the organism is protected by various food components.

N2  - The API-ZYM system (Analytab Products, Plainview, New York, USA) was evaluated for potential use for confirming the identity of Listeria isolates. A total of 68 Listeria strains from various sources including meat and poultry, fish and cheese were assayed using standard procedures. All isolates were positive for esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), phosphohydrolase (one exception), β-glucosidase, acid phosphatase and lipase (one exception). Negative responses were observed consistently for valine aminopeptidase, trypsin, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-fucosidase and cystine aminopeptidase (one exception). Variable responses were noted for alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, chymotrypsin, α-glucosidase and N-acetyl glucosaminidase. Comparison of these results with those of other Gram-positive species indicated that the API-ZYM system could be used for rapid confirmation of Listeria to the subgenus level.

N2  - Species C of the A. quadrimaculatus complex has a patchy distribution and has been found principally near the coast in river and springs systems of northwest Florida (GULF, SR, SFR - designated as C1, and CHOC - designated as C2) and the Ogeechee River (OGE - C2) near Savannah, Georgia. Significant differences were documented in allelic frequencies at 5 loci (malic enzyme [malate dehydrogenase], aconitase, aldehyde oxidase, esterase-5 and esterase-6), and genetic substructuring (Fst) between C1 and C2 was shown. The GULF and CHOC populations occurred in apparently similar environments, but were separated by about 160 km. Both of these populations are separated from OGE by over 160 km (with low to undetectable distribution of species C in the transect regions). The higher genetic similarity of the CHOC with OGE populations indicated either selective pressures or genetic drift or both as being responsible for the differences between C1 and C2 populations.

The susceptibility of the 2 species to the individual bacterial toxins was similar. The B.t.i. LC50 values were 50.5 µg/litre for M. dyari and 54.7 µg/litre for M. titillans; the B. sphaericus LC50 values were 339.0 µg/litre and 347.2 µg/litre, respectively. The log dose-probit mortality lines were parallel for both target species. The potency of B. sphaericus relative to B.t.i. was 0.15 for M. dyari and 0.16 for M. titillans.

N2  - Feeding vitamin E-deficient diets containing either fish oils such as menhaden, salmon, or anchovy oil or fish oil concentrates based on n-3 ethyl esters or free fatty acids protected mice against P. yoelii as indicated by decreased parasitaemia and improved survival. The fish oil concentrates depressed plasma tocopherol levels more strongly in vitamin E-supplemented mice than the menhaden oil. The free fatty acid concentrate appeared to suppress parasitaemia in vitamin E-deficient mice better than the menhaden oil, although ultimate survival was similar in both groups. Dietary manipulation of host antioxidant status is considered to offer promise as a possible means of malaria control.

N2  - Newborn calves were raised in isolation from C. parvum for 1 week to 3 months before experimental challenge with the parasite. Calves orally challenged with C. parvum at 1 week of age shed oocysts in their faeces and had diarrhoea after challenge exposure. When these calves were rechallenged at 1 and 3 months of age, they neither shed oocysts nor had diarrhoea. There was no significant increase in the mean anti-Cryptosporidium ELISA serum antibody titre in these calves following any of the challenge exposures. Calves orally inoculated with C. parvum for the first time at 1 month of age shed oocysts, had diarrhoea after challenge exposure, and were resistant to rechallenge at 3 months of age. These calves had a 2-fold increase in serum antibody titre after the first challenge and no increase after the 2nd challenge. Calves orally inoculated with C. parvum for the first time at 3 months of age shed oocysts, and 2 of 7 animals had diarrhoea. These calves had a 10-fold increase in serum antibody to C. parvum after exposure. This study demonstrates that calves raised in isolation from C. parvum remain susceptible to challenge until at least 3 months of age. Furthermore, within this time period, initial exposure and recovery renders calves resistant to further challenge with the parasite. The data also suggest that exposure of young calves to C. parvum may inhibit the development of a serum antibody response to the parasite.

N2  - More than a year after the accident at the Chernobyl atomic energy station in the USSR, speculation continued as to the catastrophic contamination of millions of t of grain and hundreds of thousands of t of sugar and meat. The rumours were fuelled to a great extent by the lack of information emanating from the USSR. The chapter seeks to narrow speculation by emphasizing certain facts about the possible contamination; USSR measures to deal with the effects of Chernobyl on the food system; USSR agricultural performance and trade after the accident; and the USSR response in the context of Western European reactions after the event. Issues highlighted include the release of radiation and the effects of contamination on agriculture as well as the extent of contamination and measures enacted to tackle the problem. The chapter suggests that at the national and republic levels, the effects of the accident on crop and livestock production were not identifiable, and major agricultural losses were not sustained. Livestock data are presented from national, republic and Byelorussian district levels. The cost of dealing with the consequences of the Chernobyl accident as reported by the USSR Ministry of Finance were, in October 1988, at least 8000 r million.

N2  - Many environmentalists, economists, and policy makers believe a world food shortage is likely in the next few decades. Recent analyses indicate: (1) in many developing nations, food deficits have grown despite improving food production; (2) the ability of developing countries to import food commercially has dropped; (3) developing country cereal import bills and the cost of food aid are greatly influenced by world cereal stocks, particularly wheat, the principal food aid commodity; (4) exceptionally low world cereal stocks, especially wheat, have caused international prices to rise sharply; and (5) countries' food deficits translate into food crises when assistance fails to arrive, and the amount of international food aid has dwindled in the last few years. Whether the causes of current food deficits are enduring depends on (i) the weather. Major crop shortfalls in 1988 were as a result of the drought; (ii) the GATT. How swiftly stocks recover and to what levels will depend in part on the outcome of the negotiations; (iii) the economic stagnation in food-deficit countries; and (iv) the national insolvency of some developing countries. Indicators of future problems include: a slowdown in technological change in agriculture; high population growth; limited availability of agricultural resources; environmental degradation and adverse climate change; and the inability of policies and institutions to influence these other factors. Awareness of a possible world food crisis should mean an optimistic response to the problems is possible.

N2  - Health officials in the USA are urging US consumers to reduce their fat intake. As a result, the thrust of current food industry research is to develop fat substitutes that create the same taste and texture as fat and have the same functional properties. Fat is a principal component of the human diet and a major source of energy. In 1985, fats and oils accounted for almost 50% of the fat in the US food supply. Red meat, poultry and fish were responsible for 31% of fat and 39% of the saturated fat in US diets. In addition to their nutritional roles, fats and oils add flavour and palatability to food. A successful fat substitute must mimic the taste, texture and functions of the fat it is replacing. The desired function of the fat (flavour, lubrication or heat transfer) determines what properties the developers of fat substitutes try to achieve. Current fat substitutes and substitutes made with enhanced technologies and new improved compounds include: starch-based substitutes; protein-based substitutes; and fatty acid-based substitutes. The potential market for these products is determined by the size of the markets for products in which fat substitutes can be used, and the fat content of the products. Existing low-fat and low-calorie items vary in their popularity with consumers, in addition to consumer acceptance, a new fat substitute must get FDA approval, be of good quality and versatility and have a good marketing strategy. Current issues and concerns include: nutritionists' wariness of fat substitutes; their toxicological safety; labelling; objections raised by the National Renderers Association to some of the undigestible fat substitutes; and the inter-commodity effects of fat substitutes. In general, the potential for fat substitutes is promising.

N2  - Federal expenditures on domestic food assistance reached $4590 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1989, up slightly from the $4420 million spent during the same period in 1988. Individual programme expenditures, with the exception of the food distribution programmes, remained at the pervious year's level or increased. Due to depleted government stocks, commodities distributed to charitable institutions, the National School Lunch Program, and through the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program were significantly less than a year earlier.

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: In a retrospective study, a negative-sense digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe, corresponding to the gene encoding nonstructural protein-1 of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) serotype 4, was applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue taken from horses in the terminal stages of infection with AHSV. Fifteen infected ponies and one noninfected control were studied. Ponies exhibited a range of clinical signs and lesions. Thirteen ponies were infected with serotype 4, one with serotype 1, and one with serotype 2. Ponies were monitored clinically and euthanatized when severely clinically ill. The following tissues were available for study by in situ hybridization and histopathology: lung, heart, spleen, neck muscle, and supraorbital fat. Histologically, the most striking changes were pulmonary edema and, in some, acute myocardial necrosis. In situ hybridization revealed virus distributed widely in sections of lung and heart examined, with relatively less in spleen, neck muscle, or supraorbital fat. Virus was localized to target cells with morphologic features compatible with endothelium in all organs except spleen, where it was found in both endotheliumlike cells and large mononuclear cells

AB  - The article focuses on a study on development of plastid in iojap and chloroplast mutator-affected maize plants. Iojap and chloroplast mutator are recessive nuclear genes that affect plastid development heritably, apparently without altering normal plastid genomes. Iojap striping is observed to occur late in plant development. Chloroplast mutator striping is variable in timing and can occur earlier than iojap striping in plant development. The study found that as there is no evidence for plastid genome changes in either iojap or chloroplast mutator-affected plastids, the structural defects of these plastids may be considered to have an epigenetic basis that affects subsequent generations and is not readily corrected by nuclear gene products or interactions with normal plastids.

AB  - Previous reports on pernicious anemia treatment suggested that high folic acid intake adversely influences the natural history of vitamin B-12 deficiency, which affects many elderly individuals. However, experimental investigation of this hypothesis is unethical, and the few existing observational data are inconclusive. With the use of data from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we evaluated the interaction between high serum folate and low vitamin B-12 status [ie, plasma vitamin B-12 < 148 pmol/L or methylmalonic acid (MMA) > 210 nmol/L] with respect to anemia and cognitive impairment. With subjects having both plasma folate < or = 59 nmol/L and normal vitamin B-12 status as the referent category, odds ratios for the prevalence of anemia compared with normal hemoglobin concentration and impaired compared with unimpaired cognitive function were 2.1 (95% CI: 1.1, 3.7) and 1.7 (95% CI: 1.01, 2.9), respectively, for those with low vitamin B-12 status but normal serum folate and 4.9 (95% CI: 2.3, 10.6) and 5.0 (95% CI: 2.7, 9.5), respectively, for those with low vitamin B-12 status and plasma folate >59 nmol/L. Among subjects with low vitamin B-12 status, mean circulating vitamin B-12 was 228 pmol/L for the normal-folate subgroup and 354 pmol/L for the high-folate subgroup. We subsequently showed increases in circulating homocysteine and MMA concentrations with increasing serum folate among NHANES participants with serum vitamin B-12 < 148 pmol/L, whereas the opposite trends occurred among subjects with serum vitamin B-12 > or = 148 pmol/L. These interactions, which were not seen in NHANES III before fortification, imply that, in vitamin B-12 deficiency, high folate status is associated with impaired activity of the 2 vitamin B-12-dependent enzymes, methionine synthase and MMA-coenzyme A mutase.

AB  - In considering the vitamin B-12 fortification of flour, it is important to know who is at risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency and whether those individuals would benefit from flour fortification. This article reviews current knowledge of the prevalence and causes of vitamin B-12 deficiency and considers whether fortification would improve the status of deficient subgroups of the population. In large surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom, approximately 6% of those aged > or =60 y are vitamin B-12 deficient (plasma vitamin B-12 < 148 pmol/L), with the prevalence of deficiency increasing with age. Closer to 20% have marginal status (plasma vitamin B-12: 148-221 pmol/L) in later life. In developing countries, deficiency is much more common, starting in early life and persisting across the life span. Inadequate intake, due to low consumption of animal-source foods, is the main cause of low serum vitamin B-12 in younger adults and likely the main cause in poor populations worldwide; in most studies, serum vitamin B-12 concentration is correlated with intake of this vitamin. In older persons, food-bound cobalamin malabsorption becomes the predominant cause of deficiency, at least in part due to gastric atrophy, but it is likely that most elderly can absorb the vitamin from fortified food. Fortification of flour with vitamin B-12 is likely to improve the status of most persons with low stores of this vitamin. However, intervention studies are still needed to assess efficacy and functional benefits of increasing intake of the amounts likely to be consumed in flour, including in elderly persons with varying degrees of gastric atrophy.

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Economic losses resulting from food-borne parasitic zoonoses are difficult to assess. Estimating the global economic impact of these diseases is handicapped by inadequate information on the prevalence and public health importance of parasitic zoonoses for most countries. However, the economic losses caused by certain zoonoses has been estimated for some regions and in these instances the costs are significant. In Mexico, for example, porcine cysticercosis is responsible for a loss of more than one-half of the national investment in swine production and for more than US$17 million annually in hospitalization and treatment costs for humans with neurocysticercosis. For all of Latin America, porcine cysticercosis accounts for an economic loss of US$164 million. In Africa, losses of one to two billion dollars per year due to bovine cysticercosis have been reported. Human toxoplasmosis in the United States is estimated to be an annual economic/public health burden of more than US$400 million. The implication from these examples and other are discussed. A set of recommendations is presented for obtaining the necessary information needed to permit assigning to food-borne parasitic zoonoses their appropriate priority within each country's complex economic and public health problems

AB  - MEDLINE Abstract: Swine leukocyte antigens (SLA) and a macrophage specific marker were monitored on porcine macrophages cultured with or without macrophage colony stimulatory factor (M-CSF) and on cells infected with African swine fever virus (ASFV). SLA expression was maximal either in the total cell extract or on the cell surface at 3-4 days of culture; after 4 days these values began to decrease. Fluorescence analyses of immunostained macrophages cultured with or without M-CSF indicated a major upward shift in the number of SLA Class I molecules on individual macrophages whereas for SLA Class II both a novel expression of Class II and an upward shift in the number of molecules per cell were evident. Infection of 3-day-old macrophage cultures with three different isolates of ASFV resulted in minor changes in surface expression of SLA Class I, SLA Class II, and macrophage markers. No differences in infection with ASFV was observed whether macrophages were SLA Class II positive or negative, nor was there blocking by anti-SLA Class I or Class II monoclonal antibodies of ASFV infection of cultured macrophages

AB  - A national survey to estimate vacancy rates of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers was conducted in 2007. Poisson regression methods were used to improve the precision of the estimates. A significant increase in the estimated vacancy rate was reported for hospitals relative to an earlier study from 2002, although it is important to note that there were some methodological differences between the 2 surveys explaining part of the increase. Results from this study found the vacancy rate was higher in rural hospitals than in nonrural hospitals, and it was lower in ambulatory surgical centers. A number of simulations were run to predict the effects of relevant changes in the market for surgeries and number of CRNAs, which were compared to the predictions from the previous survey. The remarkable factor since the last survey was the unusually large rate of new CRNAa entering the market, yet the vacancy rates remain relatively high. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Contrary findings are often found among epidemiological studies examining associations of different types of airborne particulates against the same health endpoints. Some studies of heart rate variability (HRV) in humans find associations with either regional particulate material 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5) and/or with “sulfate” while some do not; some find associations with more local emissions such as black carbon (BC), while others do not. We explore if there might there be a consistent methodological explanation for inconsistent findings among HRV studies. To do this, we identify studies of HRV changes in humans examining associations with ambient PM2.5 and sulfate, ambient PM2.5 and BC, or all three; we briefly review findings and methodologies, including exposure issues; then we explore why studies may come to different conclusions. We tentatively conclude that differences in accuracy of subject exposure information for health-relevant emissions such as BC, which vary spatially over short distances in urban areas, may explain conflicting study results. HRV studies with accurate exposure information for BC or urban/industrial PM2.5 generally find large, significant associations with BC or urban/industrial PM2.5, but rarely with secondary sulfate or regional emissions generally. However, absent accurate exposure information for BC, studies appear more likely to find associations with less spatially variable secondary sulfate or PM2.5, and less likely to find strong associations with BC. However, research on this subject is limited, as are the number of studies evaluated here. Added research is necessary to confirm these findings (or otherwise), and to explore whether exposure misclassification might cause other health effects results to consistently vary.

AB  - Specific data on vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are needed to enable the assessment of vitamin D dietary intake. These forms of the vitamin can occur in foods, both naturally or from fortification. The Nutrient Data Laboratory at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture collaborated with vitamin D experts in an analytic project with 2 major goals: 1) to review and develop methods for analyzing a variety of food items for vitamin D content and 2) to sample and analyze foods considered to be major contributors of vitamin D. During 2007, analysts from up to 6 laboratories compared methods, made modifications in some cases, and validated results with quality-control samples of similar food types in preparation for the analysis of sampled foods. The Nutrient Data Laboratory has prioritized foods for analysis and has identified the following as important contributors of vitamin D: finfish and shellfish, naturally occurring sources, and fortified foods such as milk, calcium-fortified orange juice, breakfast cereals, American cheese, margarines, and yogurt. A nationwide multistage sampling plan was designed and conducted to select and procure representative sample units of all such foods. After analysis of these food samples and review of the results, acceptable values for vitamin D2 and D3 will be disseminated in the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (Internet: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata).Copyright © 2008 by Elsevier Inc.

AB  - Utilization of excess glycerol supplies derived from the burgeoning biodiesel industry is of major importance to the oleochemical industry as the economic viability of the biodiesel and oleochemical industries are closely linked to glycerol prices. Carbonates based on glycerol, such as glycerol carbonate, are gaining prominence due their simple preparation, interesting properties and chemistry. Herein, the synthesis, physical properties, and chemistry of an interesting glycerol-based carbonate (4, bis[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl] carbonate; 1,2-isopropylidene glycerol carbonate or solketal carbonate) is reported. Carbonate interchange reaction between solketal (isopropylidene glycerol) and diethyl carbonate in the presence of sodium methoxide catalyst gave solketal carbonate, 4, in 65-70% isolated yields. Carbonate 4 was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ¹H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The kinematic viscosity at 40 Â°C, refractive index, and melting point of 4 were determined to be 26.7 mm²/s, 1.4460, and below -50 Â°C, respectively. Using a high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) testing apparatus neat 4 was shown to have lubricity properties similar to fatty acid esters. Hydrolysis of the isopropylidene groups converted carbonate 4 into polyol 6, bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) carbonate in good yields (84%). Carbonate polyol 6 was characterized by ¹H and 13C NMR and represents a potentially novel polyol component that may be useful in the syntheses of interesting carbonate containing esters and polymers.

AB  - Mormon crickets and juvenile locusts form huge migratory bands-millions of individuals march in unison across the landscape and devastate vast agricultural areas, but little is known about why these bands form. Here we use radiotelemetry to show that band membership benefits these insects by greatly reducing the probability that they will become victims of predators. It is likely that migratory banding has evolved because it gives substantial protection to individuals within the group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Coccolithophores have influenced the global climate for over 200 million years. These marine phytoplankton can account for 20 per cent of total carbon fixation in some systems. They form blooms that can occupy hundreds of thousands of square kilometres and are distinguished by their elegantly sculpted calcium carbonate exoskeletons (coccoliths), rendering them visible from space. Although coccolithophores export carbon in the form of organic matter and calcite to the sea floor, they also release CO2 in the calcification process. Hence, they have a complex influence on the carbon cycle, driving either CO2 production or uptake, sequestration and export to the deep ocean. Here we report the first haptophyte reference genome, from the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi strain CCMP1516, and sequences from 13 additional isolates. Our analyses reveal a pan genome (core genes plus genes distributed variably between strains) probably supported by an atypical complement of repetitive sequence in the genome. Comparisons across strains demonstrate that E. huxleyi, which has long been considered a single species, harbours extensive genome variability reflected in different metabolic repertoires. Genome variability within this species complex seems to underpin its capacity both to thrive in habitats ranging from the equator to the subarctic and to form large-scale episodic blooms under a wide variety of environmental conditions.

AB  - An ongoing research information system must provide the research scientist with the following information: who is doing the research, where is it being conducted, what are the objectives, and what is the approach or plan of work. This can be accomplished by periodically producing a complete directory or inventory, by producing selected subject catalogues of special high-interest research, or by providing customized on-demand retrieval service. In addition, scientists also find annual reports of accomplishments and publications associated with the research to be useful. On the other hand, research administrators and planners need more than technical abstracts and associated scientific information in order to make the kind of decisions they face in these days of increased competition for available resources. They need a quantitative measure of resources being expended on today's research. They need to know the amount of funds and scientist man-years of effort devoted to each area or research. One way this may be accomplished is by utilizing a research classification scheme consisting of a number of categories that can be used to aggregate research programs into units of measure that can be analyzed and evaluated by research planners. This paper demonstrates some of the many ways in which technical and/or quantitative data can be aggregated and displayed for use by research planners by the current research information system of the us department of agriculture.

AB  - Research was conducted to determine the extent to which interlibrary loan activity of the russell research center library was affected by the implementation of computer-based retrospective literature searches for members of the research staff. Statistics were obtained on literature searches conducted during 1976. These were compared with interlibrary loan requests submitted during that period, as well as during the previous year. It was found that the higher volume of interlibrary loan requests initiated during 1976 correlated with requests for literature searches. Such findings have budgetary and staffing implications for libraries comtemplating computerized retrospective literature searches.

AB  - Abstract Five population-specific response functions were developed from quadratic models for 110 populations of Pinus sylvestris growing at 47 planting sites in Eurasia and North America. The functions predict 13 year height from climate: degree-days > 5 °C; mean annual temperature; degree-days < 0 °C; summer-winter temperature differential; and a moisture index, the ratio of degree-days > 5 °C to mean annual precipitation. Validation of the response functions with two sets of independent data produced for all functions statistically significant simple correlations with coefficients as high as 0.81 between actual and predicted heights. The response functions described the widely different growth potentials typical of natural populations and demonstrated that these growth potentials have different climatic optima. Populations nonetheless tend to inhabit climates colder than their optima, with the disparity between the optimal and inhabited climates becoming greater as the climate becomes more severe. When driven by a global warming scenario of the Hadley Center, the functions described short-term physiologic and long-term evolutionary effects that were geographically complex. The short-term effects should be negative in the warmest climates but strongly positive in the coldest. Long-term effects eventually should ameliorate the negative short-term impacts, enhance the positive, and in time, substantially increase productivity throughout most of the contemporary pine forests of Eurasia. Realizing the long-term gains will require redistribution of genotypes across the landscape, a process that should take up to 13 generations and therefore many years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Abstract: We measured serum levels of 11 pesticide residues and metabolites in 85 rural-dwelling persons. In general, the serum levels increased with age, with males having slightly higher levels than females. Consumption of eggs from home-raised hens contributed substantially to increased serum concentrations of trans-nonachlor, heptachlor epoxide, and oxychlordane; consumption of home-grown root vegetables likewise contributed to increased serum concentrations of trans-nonachlor and oxychlordane. Health risks, if any, that may be attributable to these "background" levels of exposure remain to be fully characterized in this, and all other, affected populations. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - Objective:To assess the internal validity of a multiple-item measure of household food security in Brazil using statistical methods based on the single-parameter logistic (Rasch) measurement model.Subjects/Methods:Sample of the non-institutionalized civilian population living in the municipality of Campinas selected using stratified cluster sampling. Of the 1000 households randomly chosen, 847 responded to the interview. Responses to each of the 15 questions were coded into dichotomous items indicating whether the specific food-insecure condition had occurred (other than in just 1 or 2 days) during the 3 months before the survey. Scaling analyses were conducted separately as well as jointly for adult/household-related items and child-related items. Item-fit statistics were examined to determine the extent to which the items appear to measure the same underlying phenomenon, and item severity scores were compared with those of equivalent items in the US Current Population Survey.Results:Except for one item, infit statistics were within a range considered adequate (0.80–1.2), indicating a common phenomenon being measured with approximately equal discrimination. The relative severites of the items in the Campinas survey were generally similar to those of equivalent items in the US Current Population Survey. Analysis of all 15 items together indicates a higher severity level for child-related items compared with equivalent adult-related items.Conclusions:This analysis will serve as the prototype for confirming the psychometric validity of a food insecurity scale at a national level.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 665–673; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602760; published online 18 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To assess the associations between serum folate concentration and measures of adiposity in postmenopausal women.Design:This study was conducted as a cross-sectional analysis within the control segment of a randomized, crossover trial in which postmenopausal women (n=51) consumed 0 g (control), 15 g (one drink) and 30 g (two drinks) alcohol (ethanol)/day for 8 weeks as part of a controlled diet. Subjects in one treatment arm were crossed-over to another arm after a 2- to 5-week washout period. Body mass index (BMI) was measured, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan administered to the women during the control (0 g alcohol) treatment, and a blood sample from this group was collected at baseline and week 8 of each diet period and analyzed for folate, B12, homocysteine and methylmalonic acid.Setting:This study was conducted at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, MD, USA.Results:In multivariate analysis, women who were overweight had a 12% lower, and obese women had a 22% lower serum folate concentrations compared to normal weight women (P-trend=0.02). Vitamin B12 also decreased with increasing BMI (P-trend=0.08). Increased BMI, percent body fat, and absolute amounts of central and peripheral fat were all significantly associated with decreased serum folate, but were unrelated to serum B12, homocysteine or methylmalonic acid.Conclusions:Our data show that adiposity is associated with lower serum folate levels in postmenopausal women. With obesity at epidemic proportions, these data, if confirmed by prospective or randomized controlled studies, have important public health implications.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 644–650; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602771; published online 25 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective:To investigate the magnitude and relative contribution of different sources of measurement errors present in the estimation of food intake via the 24-h recall technique.Design:We applied variance decomposition methods to the difference between data obtained from the USDA's Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM) 24-h recall technique and measured food intake (MFI) from a 16-week cafeteria-style feeding study. The average and the variance of biases, defined as the difference between AMPM and MFI, were analyzed by macronutrient content, subject and nine categories of foods.Subjects:Twelve healthy, lean men (age, 39±9 year; weight, 79.9±8.3 kg; and BMI, 24.1±1.4 kg/m2).Results:Mean food intakes for AMPM and MFI were not significantly different (no overall bias), but within-subject differences for energy (EI), protein, fat and carbohydrate intakes were 14, 18, 23 and 15% of daily intake, respectively. Mass (incorrect portion size) and deletion (subject did not report foods eaten) errors were each responsible for about one-third of the total error. Vegetables constituted 8% of EI but represented >25% of the error across macronutrients, whereas grains that contributed 32% of EI contributed only 12% of the error across macronutrients.Conclusions:Although the major sources of reporting error were mass and deletion errors, individual subjects differed widely in the magnitude and types of errors they made.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008) 62, 544–552; doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602742; published online 11 April 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Perilipin proteins were discovered in the adipocyte, where they regulate lipid storage and lipolysis. Animal knockout models provided initial evidence of the critical role of perilipin 1, the most abundant of the adipocyte proteins, in energy and glucose metabolism. During a decade of study, genetic variation in perilipin 1 has been consistently but not invariably associated with body weight and obesity-related complications. Related phenotypes such as postprandial lipid metabolism and aerobic fitness are also modulated by perilipin 1 genotype, consistent with earlier metabolic studies. Investigations of gene-diet interactions, together with gene expression studies, have yielded increased understanding, but important questions about causal variants and mechanisms remain. The newest work examines perilipin 4, an adipocyte regulator of triglyceride synthesis and packaging. The novel discovery that a perilipin 4 variant creates a binding site for regulation of the perilipin gene ( PLIN) by microRNA suggests intriguing new possibilities for additional mechanistic investigations of other perilipin proteins.

AB  - 'fair use' is at best inconclusive. It does not solve the two real problems: 1) the increasing need of education science, government, and business for multiple copies of documents; and 2) the fact that since the copyright owner's compensation is the total return from the use of his work, the loss through 'fair use' of his work cannot be measured in terms of any individual use but only in terms of the total use and total copying. Therefore, we feel that the present provision for fair use, while making possible some types of research use of copyrighted material in computer and microfilm storage devices, cannot solve the 'computer problem', let alone the direct copying problem. At best, it will serve as a temporary safety valve for the user and eventually the courts, until some clearinghouse system is establised. At that time, the concept of fair use should lose its importance and die off.

AB  - We previously described a method for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) production wherein acylglycerol transesterification was achieved by reacting flaked full fat soybeans with alkaline methanol to create a product that met ASTM specifications for biodiesel. In the present work we explore the general applicability of this approach, termed in situ transesterification, to feedstocks other than soybeans. Materials investigated were distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), which is a co-product of the production of ethanol from corn, and meat and bone meal (MBM), a product of animal rendering. For both feedstocks, reaction conditions giving maximum lipid transesterification were predicted by statistical experimental design and response surface regression analysis, and then verified experimentally. Successful transesterification was achieved at ambient pressure and 35 Â°C. For DDGS, partial drying markedly reduced the methanol requirement to achieve a high degree (91.1% of maximum theoretical) of transesterification. Elevated reaction temperatures (to 55 Â°C was explored) caused little or no shortening of the time to completion. Protein was not removed from the DDGS during this treatment. For MBM, drying was not required to achieve a high degree (93.3%) of transesterification. The remaining meal retained approximately 90% of the protein originally present. Coupled with the previous work with soybeans, the data presented here indicate that in situ transesterification is generally applicable to lipid-bearing materials, which could substantially increase the supply of biodiesel.

T1  - Production of 14-Oxo-cis-11-eicosenoic Acid from Lesquerolic Acid by Sphingobacterium multivorum NRRL B-23212.

AB  - The objective of this study was to explore the extent of microbial conversion of lesquerolic acid (14-hydroxy-cis-11-eicosenoic acid; LQA) by whole cell catalysis and to identify the newly converted products. Among compost isolates including NRRL strains B-23212 (Sphingobacterium multivorum), B-23213 (Acinetobacter sp.), B-23257 (Enterobacter cloacae B), B-23259 (Escherichia sp.) and B-23260 (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) the S. multivorum strain was the only microorganism that converted LQA to produce a new product identified as 14-oxo-cis-11-eicosenoic acid by GC-MS and NMR analyses. The conversion yield was 47.4% in 48 h at 200 rpm and 28Â°C in small shake flask experiments. In comparison, both Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas strains failed to convert LQA to major new products but used LQA apparently as an energy source during fermentation. For structural analysis, 6.88 g of 14-oxo-cis-11-eicosenoic acid was produced from converting 11 g LQA (a 62% yield) in 72 h at 200 rpm and 28 Â°C in Fernbach flasks using 18-h-old NRRL B-23212 cultures and an improved medium that also contained EDTA and glycerol in lieu of glucose as carbon source. NRRL B-23212 was further identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as a unique strain of S. multivorum. Therefore, S. multivorum NRRL B-23212 possesses an enzymatic activity presumably a secondary alcohol dehydrogenase for converting LQA to produce 14-oxo-cis-11-eicosenoic acid, a first report that demonstrates the functional modification of LQA by whole cell catalysis.

AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The mechanisms responsible for the Th2-mediated immune response to enteric nematode parasites are of interest for several reasons. First, intestinal parasites continue to be a major worldwide health issue. Second, the low incidence of parasite infection in industrial nations is cited as a factor in the increased prevalence of proinflammatory-based pathologies. Third, a seemingly paradoxical protection against Th2-mediated allergic reactions is afforded by helminth infection. This review focuses on studies that use enteral parasitic infections as a tool to investigate the functional consequences of upregulation of Th2-mediated immunity and that manipulate host-parasite interactions in an effort to identify mechanisms that can be exploited as potential therapeutic targets. RECENT FINDINGS: Enteric helminth infection improved indices of inflammatory bowel disease in humans and murine models and diminished the allergy-induced changes in pulmonary function. There are emerging or enlarged roles for interleukin-10, interleukin-18, interleukin-9, chemokines, activation of nuclear factor-kappabeta, and factors that alter host resistance in the development of host immunity, and for interleukin-13Ralpha2 receptor in downregulating Th2 responses. As part of the growing appreciation for the contribution of nonimmune cells to parasite-induced changes in intestinal function, studies show that Th2 cytokines exert Stat6-dependent effects that promote worm expulsion. SUMMARY: Further insight into the nature of host-parasite interactions, identification of the pathways and critical mediators that contribute to host resistance, identification of the factors that modulate susceptibility to infection, and the impact of enteric parasites on intestinal function hold much promise for development of novel therapeutic interventions.

AB  - Background Folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 act in concert in the one-carbon metabolism and may protect against colorectal neoplasia. We examined the effect of combined B-vitamin treatment on the occurrence of colorectal adenoma. Methods The Women's Antioxidant and Folic Acid Cardiovascular Study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-con- trolled trial of 5442 female health professionals at high risk for cardiovascular disease from April 1998 through July 2005. Participants were randomly assigned to receive a combination pill of folic acid (2.5mg), vitamin B6 (50mg), and vitamin B12 (1 mg) or placebo. This study included 1470 participants who were followed up for as long as 9.2 years and underwent an endoscopy at any point during follow-up. We estimated relative risks using a generalized linear model with a natural logarithm link function and Poisson distributed errors. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results The risk of colorectal adenoma was similar among participants receiving treatment (24.3%, 180 of 741 participants) vs placebo (24.0%, 175 of 729 participants) (multivariable adjusted relative risk = 1.00, 95% confidence interval = 0.83 to 1.20). Treatment was not associated with the risk of adenoma when data were analyzed by subsite, size, stage, and the number of adenomas. There was no statistically significant effect modification by alcohol intake, history of cancer or adenoma, or baseline plasma levels or intakes of folate, vitamin B6, or vitamin B12. Conclusion Our results indicate no statistically significant effect of combined folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 treatment on colorectal adenoma among women at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

AB  - This report demonstrates how existing national data can be used to first calculate upper limits on the average cost per participant and per outcome per state/territory for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). These upper limits can then be used by state EFNEP administrators to obtain more precise estimates for their states, based on their state-specific knowledge. Across all states, EFNEP appears most cost effective in nutrition practices, followed by food resource management practices, and then food safety practices. All but 3 states have cost per quality adjusted life years that are considered cost effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Summary Background At present, B cell epitopes involved in food allergy to wheat are known only for a few allergens and a few categories of patients. Objective To characterize the epitopes of different wheat kernel allergens: α-, γ, ω2, and ω5-gliadin, a low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunit, and a lipid transfer protein (LTP1) recognized by allergic patients and by sensitized mice and provide further understanding of the role of structure in determining allergic response. Methods Sera were obtained from 39 patients suffering from food allergy to wheat. BALB/c mice were sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 by intraperitoneal immunizations. Continuous epitopes bound by IgE were delineated by the Pepscan technique. The response to reduced, alkylated LTP1 was compared with that of the native form to evaluate the importance of protein folding on IgE reactivity. Results Few continuous epitopes of LTP1 reacted with IgE from allergic patients and mice, but one of them was common to several patients and sensitized mice. The unfolded protein was not recognized by either patient or mouse IgE, emphasizing the major role of LTP1 folding and discontinuous epitopes in IgE-binding. In contrast, many continuous epitopes were detected by patient and mouse IgE especially for an ω5-gliadin, which is an unstructured protein, and to a lesser extent, for the other gliadins and a LMW-glutenin subunit. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance The conformation of LTP1 appeared to have a strong impact on the type of IgE-binding epitopes elicited by this protein in both man and mouse. The responses in mice sensitized to gliadins or LTP1 were sufficiently comparable with the human response in terms of IgE-binding epitopes to provide support for the use of the mouse model in further investigations.

AB  - Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike most secondary plastid-bearing algae, miniaturized versions of the endosymbiont nuclei (nucleomorphs) persist in cryptophytes and chlorarachniophytes. To determine why, and to address other fundamental questions about eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis, we sequenced the nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans. Both genomes have >21,000?protein genes and are intron rich, and B. natans exhibits unprecedented alternative splicing for a single-celled organism. Phylogenomic analyses and subcellular targeting predictions reveal extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosymbiont cytosol of both algae. Mitochondrion-to-nucleus gene transfer still occurs in both organisms but plastid-to-nucleus and nucleomorph-to-nucleus transfers do not, which explains why a small residue of essential genes remains locked in each nucleomorph.

AB  - Access to clean, affordable and reliable energy has been a cornerstone of the world's increasing prosperity and economic growth since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Our use of energy in the twenty-first century must also be sustainable. Solar and water-based energy generation, and engineering of microbes to produce biofuels are a few examples of the alternatives. This Perspective puts these opportunities into a larger context by relating them to a number of aspects in the transportation and electricity generation sectors. It also provides a snapshot of the current energy landscape and discusses several research and development opportunities and pathways that could lead to a prosperous, sustainable and secure energy future for the world.

AB  - The osteoporosis associated with human hyperthyroidism has traditionally been attributed to elevated thyroid hormone levels. There is evidence, however, that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is low in most hyperthyroid states, directly affects the skeleton. Importantly, Tshr-knockout mice are osteopenic. In order to determine whether low TSH levels contribute to bone loss in hyperthyroidism, we compared the skeletal phenotypes of wild-type and Tshr-knockout mice that were rendered hyperthyroid. We found that hyperthyroid mice lacking TSHR had greater bone loss and resorption than hyperthyroid wild-type mice, thereby demonstrating that the absence of TSH signaling contributes to bone loss. Further, we identified a TSH-like factor that may confer osteoprotection. These studies suggest that therapeutic suppression of TSH to very low levels may contribute to bone loss in people.

AB  - Even though peripheral circadian oscillators in the cardiovascular system are known to exist, the daily rhythms of the cardiovascular system are mainly attributed to autonomic or hormonal inputs under the control of the central oscillator, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). In order to examine the role of peripheral oscillators in the cardiovascular system, we used a transgenic mouse where the Clock gene is specifically disrupted in cardiomyocytes. In this cardiomyocyte-specific CLOCK mutant (CCM) mouse model, the circadian input from the SCN remains intact. Both CCM and wild-type (WT) littermates displayed circadian rhythms in wheel-running behavior. However, the overall wheel-running activities were significantly lower in CCM mice compared to WT over the course of 5 weeks, indicating that CCM mice either have lower baseline physical activities or they have lower physical adaptation abilities because daily wheel running, like routine exercise, induces physical adaptation over a period of time. Upon further biochemical analysis, it was revealed that the diurnal oscillations of phosphorylation states of several kinases and protein expression of the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (L-VGCC) α1D subunit found in WT hearts were abolished in CCM hearts, indicating that in mammalian hearts, the daily oscillations of the activities of these kinases and L-VGCCs were downstream elements of the cardiac core oscillators. However, the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK exhibited robust diurnal rhythms in both WT and CCM hearts, indicating that cardiac p38 could be under the influence of the central clock through neurohormonal signals or be part of the circadian input pathway in cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these results indicate that the cardiac core oscillators have an impact in regulating circadian rhythmicities and cardiac function. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

N2  - The Future Agricultural Resources Model (FARM) was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS) to evaluate effects of global changes on agricultural systems. The model uses a geographic information system that links climatically defined land and water resources with production possibilities in 12 regions, and an economic model that simulates how changes in one region can affect land and water resources as well as production and consumption of 13 aggregate commodities in eight regions. Analyses carried out with FARM show that: 1) global climate change and population growth are likely to place additional stress on current agricultural and environmental systems during the 21st century; 2) the net economic effects of global climate change may be positive but realization of these benefits may increase environmental stresses; 3) deregulation of trade in agricultural commodities may help to alleviate some of the economic pressure generated by population growth and global climate change and 4) setting land aside from economic production to protect natural ecosystems may have relatively low opportunity costs, but global climate change will make it more difficult to implement such programs.

AB  - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common, life threatening birth defect. Although there is strong evidence implicating genetic factors in its pathogenesis, few causative genes have been identified, and in isolated CDH, only one de novo, nonsense mutation has been reported in FOG2 in a female with posterior diaphragmatic eventration. We report here that the homozygous null mouse for the Pdgfrα gene has posterolateral diaphragmatic defects and thus is a model for human CDH. We hypothesized that mutations in this gene could cause human CDH. We sequenced PDGFRα and FOG2 in 96 patients with CDH, of which 53 had isolated CDH (55.2%), 36 had CDH and additional anomalies (37.5%), and 7 had CDH and known chromosome aberrations (7.3%). For FOG2, we identified novel sequence alterations predicting p.M703L and p.T843A in two patients with isolated CDH that were absent in 526 and 564 control chromosomes respectively. These altered amino acids were highly conserved. However, due to the lack of available parental DNA samples we were not able to determine if the sequence alterations were de novo. For PDGFRα, we found a single variant predicting p.L967V in a patient with CDH and multiple anomalies that was absent in 768 control chromosomes. This patient also had one cell with trisomy 15 on skin fibroblast culture, a finding of uncertain significance. Although our study identified sequence variants in FOG2 and PDGFRα, we have not definitively established the variants as mutations and we found no evidence that CDH commonly results from mutations in these genes.European Journal of Human Genetics (2007) 15, 950–958; doi:10.1038/sj.ejhg.5201872; published online 13 June 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Evidence is emerging that dietary phytoestrogens play a beneficial role in obesity and diabetes. Nutritional intervention studies performed in animals and humans suggest that the ingestion of soy protein associated with isoflavones and flaxseed rich in lignans improves glucose control and insulin resistance. In animal models of obesity and diabetes, soy protein has been shown to reduce serum insulin and insulin resistance. In studies of human subjects with or without diabetes, soy protein also appears to moderate hyperglycemia and reduce body weight, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia, supporting its beneficial effects on obesity and diabetes. However, most of these clinical trials were relatively short and involved a small number of patients. Furthermore, it is not clear whether the beneficial effects of soy protein and flaxseed are due to isoflavones (daidzein and genistein), lignans (matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol), or some other component. Isoflavones and lignans appear to act through various mechanisms that modulate pancreatic insulin secretion or through antioxidative actions. They may also act via estrogen receptor-mediated mechanisms. Some of these actions have been shown in vitro, but the relevance of these studies to in vivo disease is not known. The diversity of cellular actions of isoflavones and lignans supports their possible beneficial effects on various chronic diseases. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of phytoestrogens on obesity and diabetes mellitus and their associated possible complications.

AB  - This article reviews the current status of our knowledge of lipoproteins, nutrition, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Special emphasis is placed on CHD risk assessment, dietary intervention studies, diet-gene interactions, and current dietary guidelines and the contributions of my laboratory to these areas. CHD remains a major cause of death and disability, and risk factors include age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, elevated serum LDL cholesterol, and low HDL cholesterol. Emerging independent risk factors include elevated serum concentrations of lipoprotein(a), remnant lipoproteins, and homocysteine. The cornerstone of CHD prevention is lifestyle modification. Dietary intervention studies support the concepts that restricting saturated fat and cholesterol and increasing the intake of essential fatty acids, especially n - 3 fatty acids, reduces CHD risk. The variability in LDL-cholesterol response to diet is large, related in part to APOE and APOA4 genotype. The use of antioxidants in intervention studies has not been shown to reduce CHD risk. Compliance with dietary recommendations remains a major problem, and directly altering the food supply may be the most effective way to ensure compliance. The available data indicate that the recommendation to use fats, oils, and sugars sparingly for CHD prevention should be modified to a recommendation to use animal, dairy, and hydrogenated fats; tropical oils; egg yolks; and sugars sparingly and to increase the use of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

AB  - Objective To develop a scientifically based childhood obesity prevention program supporting child eating self-regulation and taste preferences. This article describes the research methods for the Strategies for Effective Eating Development program. A logic model is provided that depicts a visual presentation of the activities that will be used to guide the development of the prevention program. Design Randomized, controlled prevention program, pretest, posttest, 6 months, and 12 months. Setting Two sites: Houston, TX and Pasco, WA. Each trial will last 7 weeks with 8–10 mother–child dyads in each arm (prevention and control). Participants Recruitment at Head Start districts (Texas; n = 160) and Inspire Child Development Center including Early Childhood Education and Head Start (Washington; n = 160). Sixteen trials with 16–20 parent–child dyads per trial will provide adequate power to detect moderate effects. Intervention Multicomponent family-based prevention program incorporating a dialogue approach to adult learning and self-determination theory. Main Outcome Measures Child assessments will include observed taste preferences, caloric compensation, and eating in the absence of hunger. Parent assessments will include parent-reported feeding, feeding emotions, acculturation, child eating behaviors, child food preferences, and child dietary intake. Heights and weights will be measured for parent and child. Analysis A multilevel growth modeling analysis will be employed to consider the nested nature of the data: time points (level 1) within families (level 2) within trials (level 3).

AB  - <bold>Background: </bold>Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in lean individuals is not well studied and up to 26% of diabetes occurs in these individuals. Although the cause is not well understood, it has been primarily attributed to nutritional issues during early development.<bold>Objective: </bold>Our objective was to develop a lean T2D model using gestational low-protein (LP) programming.<bold>Study Design: </bold>Pregnant rats were fed control (20% protein) or isocaloric LP (6%) diet from gestational day 4 until delivery. Standard diet was given to dams after delivery and to pups after weaning. Glucose tolerance test was done at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Magnetic resonance imaging of body fat for females was done at 4 months. Rats were sacrificed at 4 and 8 months of age and their perigonadal, perirenal, inguinal, and brown fat were weighed and expressed relative to their body weight. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp was done around 6 months of age.<bold>Results: </bold>Male and female offspring exposed to a LP diet during gestation developed glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR). Further, glucose intolerance progressed with increasing age and occurred earlier and was more severe in females when compared to males. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp showed whole body IR in both sexes, with females demonstrating increased IR compared to males. LP females showed a 4.5-fold increase in IR while males showed a 2.5-fold increase when compared to their respective controls. Data from magnetic resonance imaging on female offspring showed no difference in the subcutaneous, inguinal, and visceral fat content. We were able to validate this observation by sacrificing the rats at 4 and 8 months and measuring total body fat content. This showed no differences in body fat content between control and LP offspring in either males or females. Additionally, diabetic rats had a similar body mass index to that of the controls.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>LP gestational programming produces a progressively worsening T2D model in rats with a lean phenotype without obesity.

AB  - Adequate mineral intake is a crucial part of a healthy diet for children-it supports appropriate growth and development and provides protection against childhood conditions like anemia and helps to prevent future adult diseases such as osteoporosis. Challenges in performing and interpreting studies in infants and children have hampered the accurate assessment of their mineral utilization. Many of the most powerful techniques used in adults, such as radioisotope testing, are not appropriate for use in children. In recent years, advanced mineral stable-isotope techniques have been developed to fill this gap. Pediatric applications include studies of calcium absorption and kinetics during puberty and evaluation of the calcium-iron interaction in infants and toddlers. The effects of genetics in determining calcium absorption and bone turnover may become an important research area. The goals and methods of ongoing mineral stable-isotope research in infants and children are examined in this report. In the past, the cost and difficulties in obtaining isotopes have limited such research. This situation has improved considerably, although relatively few nutrition research laboratories are prepared to perform sample analyses. Copyright (c) 1999 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - Chromium (Cr) is an essential mineral element that has received considerable public attention. The suggestion that Cr intake is generally low has generated interest regarding the purported beneficial effects of Cr supplementation on biological function and health of animals and humans. This review briefly describes key aspects of Cr nutritional status and evaluates the effects of Cr supplementation on various components of biological function, body composition, and health. A novel biological role of Cr in regulation of insulin function is described. Although promising results of Cr supplementation are presented, the considerable challenge of developing methods for routine assessment of Cr nutriture in humans remains.

AB  - Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common birth defect with a high mortality and morbidity. There have been few studies that have assessed copy number changes in CDH. We present array comparative genomic hybridization data for 29 CDH patients to identify and map chromosome aberrations in this disease. Three patients with 15q26.1–15q26.2 deletions had heterogeneous breakpoints that overlapped with the critical 4 Mb region previously delineated for CDH, confirming 15q26.1–15q26.2 as a critical region for CDH. The three other most compelling CDH-critical regions for genomic deletions based on these data and a literature review are located at chromosomes 8p23.1, 4p16.3–4pter, and 1q41–1q42.1. Based on these recurrent deletions at 15q26.1–15q26.2, we hypothesized that loss-of-function mutations in a gene or genes from this region could cause CDH and sequenced six candidate genes from this region in more than 100 patients with CDH. For three of these genes (CHD2, ARRDC4, and RGMA), we identified missense changes and that were not identified in normal controls; however, none of these alterations appeared unambiguously causal with CDH. These data suggest that CDH caused by chromosome deletions at 15q26.2 may arise because of a contiguous gene deletion syndrome or may have a multifactorial etiology. In addition, there is evidence for substantial genetic heterogeneity in CDH and diaphragmatic hernias can be non-penetrant in patients who have deletions involving CDH-critical regions.

AB  - Directed Query Engines, an emerging class of search engine specifically designed to access distributed resources on the Deep Web, offer the opportunity to create inexpensive digital libraries. Already, one such engine, Distributed Explorer, has been used to select and assemble high quality information resources and incorporate them into publicly available systems for the physical sciences. By nesting Directed Query Engines so that one query launches several other engines in a cascading fashion, enormous virtual collections may soon be assembled to form a comprehensive information infrastructure for the physical sciences. Once a Directed Query Engine has been configured for a set of information resources, distributed alerting tools can provide patrons with personalized, profile-based notices of recent additions to any of the selected resources. Due to the potentially enormous size and scope of Directed Query Engine applications, consideration must be given to issues surrounding the representation of large quantities of information from multiple, heterogeneous sources.

AB  - In today's environment of increased expectations, the longstanding need of researchers and librarians to have access to comprehensive information in the physical sciences can now be met using information technology. The US Department of Energy (DOE) envisions the creation of an integrated information infrastructure for the physical sciences where content, technology, and service converge to make resources readily accessible, openly available, useful, and usable. Various collections and resources already form a virtual library, the foundation of this endeavor. Describes the proposed information infrastructure called Science.gov, noting that it will be pursued as a collaborative effort of DOE and other information providers.

AB  - The central demographic reality of our times is the rapid aging of our society. Preventive nutritional and preventive health care of older people, therefore, are pressing issues that must be contended with. Several strategies for this are possible, including the broadcasting of general nutritional and health messages to the population, the inclusion of preventive nutrition and health as part of routine primary care, and nutrition screening: a process of self-identification by the older population in which they judge for themselves whether they are at nutritional risk and, if so, seek the care of professionals. This review focuses on some of the necessities for screening: sensitive, specific, and inexpensively applied screening devices; and explicit interventions that do not have major public health benefit for those who screen negative. Unfortunately, there is little evidence that screening is beneficial, nor have the benefits of this strategy been compared with its alternatives. Thus, the ethical imperative of screening has not been met: that because the activity is being promoted (it is not initiated by the public), its benefit must be conclusive.

AB  - There would appear to be little argument that the large outbreaks of E. coli O157:H7 which have occurred since the early 1980s represent a distinct, new phenomenon. The number of reported cases have increased dramatically, starting from zero in 1981; however, it is also clear that this increase in reported cases is in part an artifact of improved surveillance and reporting. Available data suggest that E. coli O157:H7 infections were present prior to 1982, although numbers appear to have been small. At a molecular level, the organism shows evidence of clonal origin, but there is not the striking clonality, with virtually identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and ribotyping patterns, which has been seen in situations such as the emergence of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal in the Indian subcontinent in 1992 or the introduction of V. cholerae O1 into naïve populations in South America in 1991 (127-129). Findings are more consistent with the image of an organism which arose from a common ancestor, but which has had time to become distributed geographically and to show some evidence of genetic divergence. While this is an "emerging" infection, at least in terms of its distribution and public recognition, it is unlikely that it will be possible to identify the "first" O157:H7 case or to track the clonal spread of the organism through cattle or human populations.

N2  - The economics of food safety is a relatively new area of research. New scientific data, interdisciplinary research and models, and understanding the various forms of economic incentives are all improving knowledge about the interface between public policies and private strategies. Not only are global markets at stake, but foodborne pathogens cause acute illness in 76 million U.S. consumers, 5,000 deaths, and an unknown number of chronic complications annually. This set of papers explores the central role of information in food safety decision making as well as the interrelationship between regulations and markets in creating economic incentives to control foodborne pathogens.

AB  - Objective: To examine the agreement between perceptions, behaviors, and ability to purchase healthful food in the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD). Design: A regional food store survey of healthful food options in supermarkets, small/medium stores, and convenience stores. Focus group discussions were conducted on shopping perceptions and behaviors. Setting: Counties in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Participants: Eighty-one LMD residents, 18-60+ years of age. Main Outcome Measure: Perceptions of healthful food and ability to acquire these food items across store types. Analysis: Focus group data were analyzed using thematic coding. Summary food store statistics were weighted, and estimates were constructed using SUD A AN 9. Data triangulation was achieved by comparing focus group findings with food availability data. Results: A majority (> 85%) of supermarkets had selected vegetables, breads, and cereals perceived as healthful, whereas availability was limited in small to medium grocery stores and convenience stores. Skim milk, perceived as healthful, was limited in all store types. Conclusions and Implications: Limited availability and perceived costs of healthful food in the LMD influenced purchasing behaviors. Attitudes and perceptions should be incorporated into intervention development to improve food choices in conjunction with increasing the availability of healthful food in the LMD.

AB  - Objective: To estimate the costs of satisfying MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines, with a focus on whether low-income households can bear these costs. Design: Descriptive analysis of the 2008 National Consumer Panel with information on the food purchases of 64,440 households across the contiguous United States was used to analyze the cost of fruits and vegetables. Costs per MyPyramid cup-equivalents were calculated by accounting for cooking yields and the portion of a food item's retail weight that is inedible. Variables Measured: Costs per cup-equivalent for less expensive fruits and vegetables by MyPyramid subgroup including whole and cut fruit, fruit juice, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, starchy vegetables, other vegetables, and legumes. Results: In 2008, a variety of fruits and vegetables was available for an average cost of SO.40 to SO.50 per cup-equivalent. MyPyramid fruit and vegetable recommendations could be satisfied at this cost level. Conclusions and Implications: Low-income Americans facing national average food prices can satisfy MyPyramid fruit and vegetable guidelines with a budget equal to the Thrifty Food Plan allocation to fruits and vegetables. However, many low-income households spend too much money on food that is low in fruit and vegetable content. Some money should be reallocated to fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Considerable epidemiologic evidence links consuming lower glycemic index (GI) diets with good health, particularly upon aging. The GI is a kinetic parameter that reflects the ability of carbohydrate (CHO) contained in consumed foods to raise blood glucose in vivo. Newer nutritional, clinical, and experimental data link intake of lower dietary GI foods to favorable outcomes of chronic diseases, and compel further examination of the record. Based upon the new information there are two specific questions: 1) should the GI concept be promoted as a way to prolong health, and 2) should food labels contain GI information? Further, what are the remaining concerns about methodological issues and consistency of epidemiological data and clinical trials that need to be resolved in order to exploit the benefits of consuming lower GI diets? These issues are addressed in this review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses an outbreak of human Salmonella infections linked to live poultry from a mail-order hatchery in Ohio from March to September 2013. PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network for foodborne bacteria, reported a total of 158 persons infected with different strains of Salmonella serotypes in 30 states.

AB  - Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify personal, behavioral, and environmental factors influencing fruit and vegetable consumption among 10- to 13-year-old low-income black American youth in the lower Mississippi Delta region. Social Cognitive Theory, along with other theoretical constructs, guided focus group questions and analysis. Design: A qualitative study using focus group methodology. Setting: Enrichment program of a sports summer camp for low-income youth. Participants: Forty-two adolescents (21 female, 21 male) participated in 6 focus groups. Main Outcome Measures: Personal, behavioral, and environmental influences on fruit and vegetable consumption. Analysis: Content analysis methods were used by 3 independent reviewers to identify themes within the focus group transcripts. Themes were summarized and then categorized into the 3 domains of Social Cognitive Theory. Results: The major themes were taste, availability, extended family influence, visual proof of the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, and the need for gender-specific behavioral skills. Conclusions and Implications: This formative research will aid in the development of a culturally relevant nutrition intervention for low-income black American adolescents in the lower Mississippi Delta region. The results indicate that this group is more likely to respond to interventions that use role models who can provide proof that fruit and vegetable consumption is related to improved health.

AB  - Much research has focused on how the glycemic index (GI) of the diets of healthy people relates to long-term risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, and non-insulin dependent diabetes. Low-GI diets appear to produce some of their beneficial effects largely by moderating insulinemic responses to meals. Wolever and Bolognesi (1996) have derived a formula for predicting the insulinemic index (II) from the GI for starchy foods. Using data from Holt et al. (1995, 1997) on a wide variety of common foods, we have examined differences between the observed II and GI-based estimates of the II. These differences were found to correlate negatively with satiety index ratings and positively with contents of total sugars. We suggest that the aforementioned method of measuring and expressing the relation between the GI and the II may prove useful in exploring how various components and sensory properties of food may affect hunger and energy intake.

AB  - From 1999?–?2003, the hygiene of 1061 environmental surfaces from shopping, daycare, and office environments, personal items, and miscellaneous activities (i.e., gymnasiums, airports, movie theaters, restaurants, etc.), in four US cities, was monitored. Samples were analyzed for fecal and total coliform bacteria, protein, and biochemical markers. Biochemical markers, i.e., hemoglobin (blood marker), amylase (mucus, saliva, sweat, and urine marker), and urea (urine and sweat marker) were detected on 3% (26/801); 15% (120/801), and 6% (48/801) of the surfaces, respectively. Protein (general hygiene marker) levels ??200?µg/10?cm 2 were present on 26% (200/801) of the surfaces tested. Surfaces from children's playground equipment and daycare centers were the most frequently contaminated (biochemical markers on 36%; 15/42 and 46%; 25/54, respectively). Surfaces from the shopping, miscellaneous activities, and office environments were positive for biochemical markers with a frequency of 21% (69/333), 21% (66/308), and 11% (12/105), respectively). Sixty samples were analyzed for biochemical markers and bacteria. Total and fecal coliforms were detected on 20% (12/60) and 7% (4/60) of the surfaces, respectively. Half and one-third of the sites positive for biochemical markers were also positive for total and fecal coliforms, respectively. Artificial contamination of public surfaces with an invisible fluorescent tracer showed that contamination from outside surfaces was transferred to 86% (30/35) of exposed individual's hands and 82% (29/35) tracked the tracer to their home or personal belongings hours later. Results provide information on the relative hygiene of commonly encountered public surfaces and aid in the identification of priority environments where contaminant occurrence and risk of exposure may be greatest. Children's playground equipment is identified as a priority surface for additional research on the occurrence of and potential exposure to infectious disease causing agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article present information on the food habits of older people depending on the ethnic group. Multiethnic communities are increasingly common in the United States. Food-related practices of older people from any ethnic group can present challenges for a number of reasons, including increased requirements for important nutrients because of physiological changes associated with aging and pathological effects of some chronic conditions. Each ethnic group developed its own norms and cultural behaviors around food and eating practices, some of which were maintained over various generations, some of which have been lost and some of which are just making their mark in this country.

AB  - Dietary copper deficiency increases the accumulation of circulating neutrophils in the rat lung microcirculation. This process includes neutrophil adhesion to, migration along, and emigration though the vascular endothelium. The current study was designed to examine the role of copper in each of these steps. Neutrophils were isolated from rats fed either a copper-adequate (CuA, 6.1 µg Cu/g diet) or copper-deficient diet (CuD, 0.3 µg Cu/g diet) for 4 weeks. First, transient and firm adhesion of neutrophils to P-selectin in a flow chamber showed there were more adhered CuD neutrophils than CuA ones. This effect is probably caused by the increased expression of CD11b that was observed in the current study. Second, the evaluation of neutrophil migration under agarose showed that the CuD neutrophils moved farther than the CuA group in response to IL-8 but not fMLP; this suggests an increased sensitivity to a CD11/CD18-independent signalling pathway. Third, the contractile mechanism of endothelial cells was studied. Elevated F-actin formation in Cu-chelated lung microvascular endothelial cells suggests that neutrophil emigration may be promoted by enhanced cytoskeletal reorganization of the endothelium during copper deficiency. Combined, these results support the theory that dietary copper deficiency has proinflammatory effects on both neutrophils and the microvascular endothelium that promote neutrophil−endothelial interactions.

AB  - To determine whether moderately high or low intakes of zinc adversely affect the copper status of postmenopausal women to result in unfavorable changes in calcium and magnesium metabolism and other indicators of bone turnover. After a 10-day equilibration period in which the diet provided 31.5 μmol (2 mg) Cu and 137.7 μmol (9 mg) Zn/8.4 MJ (2000 kcal), the subjects were randomly divided into two groups, with one group fed the basal diet supplemented to provide15.7 μmol (1 mg) Cu/8.4 MJ, and the other group fed the same diet supplemented to provide 47.2 μmol (3 mg) Cu/ 8.4 MJ. After equilibration, both groups were fed the basal diet with no zinc supplemented (provided 45.9 μmol [3 mg] Zn/ 8.4 MJ) for 90 days; this was followed by another 10-day equilibration period before the basal diet was supplemented with zinc to provide 811 μmol (53 mg)/8.4 MJ for 90 days. The metabolic unit of the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, ND, USA. A total of 28 postmenopausal women recruited by advertisement throughout the United States of America. Among them, 25 women (64.9 + 6.7 y) completed the study; 21 as designed. The moderately high intake compared to the low intake of zinc increased the excretion of magnesium in the feces and urine, which resulted in a decreased magnesium balance. In the women fed low dietary copper, plasma osteocalcin was higher during the low-zinc than high-zinc dietary period. The urinary excretion of N-telopeptides was increased and the serum calcitonin concentration was decreased by high dietary zinc regardless of dietary copper. A moderately high intake of zinc (811 μmol/day; 53 mg/day) did not induce changes in copper metabolism that resulted in unfavorable changes in bone or mineral metabolism. However, low dietary zinc (45.9 μmol/day; 3 mg/day) apparently resulted in undesirable changes in circulating calcitonin and osteocalcin. As a moderately high intake of zinc decreased magnesium balance, further study of the possibility that a high intake of zinc is a health concern for individuals consuming less than the recommended amounts of magnesium is warranted.

AB  - Objectives. We sought to identify factors associated with adult or child hunger. Methods. Low-income housed and homeless mothers were interviewed about socioeconomic, psychosocial, health, and food sufficiency information. Multinomial logistic regression produced models predicting adult or child hunger. Results. Predictors of adult hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation and current parenting difficulties, or "hassles." Risk factors for child hunger included mothers' childhood sexual molestation, housing subsidies, brief local residence, having more or older children, and substandard housing. Conclusions. This study found that the odds of hunger, although affected by resource constraints in low-income female-headed families, were also worsened by mothers' poor physical and mental health. Eliminating hunger thus may require broader interventions than food programs. (Am J Public Health. 2004;94:109-115) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. We estimated prevalence and control of type 2 diabetes in Puerto Rican, Dominican, and non-Hispanic White (NHW) elders and associated them with sociodemographic and health behavior variables and with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Methods. We used a cross-sectional analysis with a sample of Hispanic elders in Massachusetts and a comparison group of NHWs (1991-1997). The analysis included 379 Puerto Ricans, 113 Dominicans, and 164 NHWs, aged 60 to 96 years, with complete questionnaires and blood samples. Results. Type 2 diabetes was significantly more prevalent among Puerto Ricans (38%) and Dominicans (35%) than among NHWs (23%). Differences remained after covariates were adjusted for. Hispanics with diabetes were approximately 3 times more likely to use insulin than NHWs. Puerto Ricans were 2 times, and Dominicans 3 times, more likely to have glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations of 7% or above than NHWs. BMI and waist circumference were individually associated with diabetes. When included in the model together, waist circumference, but not BMI, remained independently associated with diabetes. Conclusions. Ethnicity was more strongly associated with diabetes status and control than were socioeconomic or measured health behavior variables, suggesting that genetic or other culturally related factors may explain these differences.

AB  - Objectives. Understanding the nutritional consequences of food insufficiency is important for informed policy-making that addresses the problem of domestic hunger. This study estimated the extent to which individuals from food-insufficient households were likely to have low intakes of energy and 14 other nutrients. Methods. The diets of preschoolers, adult women, and the elderly were analyzed with 24-hour recall data from the 1989 through 1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the association of self-reported household food insufficiency with nutrient intakes below 50% of the recommended daily allowance. Results. For adult women, food insufficiency was significantly associated with low intakes of eight nutrients, including energy, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, C, and B6. Elderly individuals in the food-insufficient group were also more likely to have low intakes of eight nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamins A and B6. Household food insufficiency was not significantly associated with low intakes among preschoolers. Conclusions. The results validate the use of self-reported hunger measures in nutritional surveillance and highlight nutrients of concern for food assistance and nutrition education efforts targeted at individuals from food-insufficient households.

AB  - The article presents a study which aims to determine whether a multistate fast food hamburger-associated outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection involved Las Vegas residents. E. coli 0157:H7 is an important cause of nonbloody diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and hemolytic uremic syndrome.' This serotype of E. coli differs from most in that it ferments sorbitol slowly or not at all. Confirmation of E. coil 0157:H7 infections by local laboratories in Washington State enabled public health officials there to identify an outbreak in January 1993 and to implicate hamburgers from a particular fast food chain (chain A). Although E. coli 0157:117 infection was also reportable in Nevada, no cases were reported there during this period. On January 22, the health district issued a press release, naming chain A hut requesting notification of all cases of bloody diarrhea. The health district was flooded with calls and began an investigation into the magnitude and cause of the outbreak.

AB  - Objectives. This study evaluated the production of dry fermented salami associated with an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in Washington State and California. Methods. Facility inspections, review of plant monitoring data, food handler interviews, and microbiological testing of salami products were conducted. Results. Production methods complied with federal requirements and industry-developed good manufacturing practices. No evidence suggested that postprocessing contamination occurred. Calculations suggested that the infectious dose was smaller than 50 E. coli O157:H7 bacteria. Conclusions. Dry fermented salami can serve as a vehicle of transmission for O157:H7 strains. Our investigation and prior laboratory studies suggest that E. coli O157:H7 can survive currently accepted processing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. Hyperinflation began in early 1992 in the former Soviet Union. This paper describes factors associated with nutritional status that year among elderly pensioners. Methods. Approximately 300 pensioners were selected randomly in each of eight cities. Surveys of diet, weight, health status, and social and economic conditions were done between June and December 1992. This paper reports on 2281 completed questionnaires. Results. Half the pensioners reported that they had lost 5 or more kilograms in the prior 6 months; 57% did not have enough money to buy food, and 39% needed medicines they could not afford. Forty percent consumed less than a half kilogram of meat, 50% consumed less than a half kilogram of fruit, a third consumed less than a liter of milk, and a third consumed less than 2 Kg of bread per week. Weight loss was strongly associated with not having enough money to buy food, an inability to afford medication, and consumption of fewer than three meals a day. Concurrent with these conditions, there was a large increase in mortality in Russia. Conclusions. The results of these surveys suggest that many elderly pensioners were experiencing severe nutritional deprivation in the latter half of 1992. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This study provides revised baseline data for the Healthy People 2000 objective related to fruit and vegetable intakes, accounting for fruits and vegetables from all sources and measuring servings in a manner consistent with current dietary guidance. Methods. Dietary data from 8181 adults in the US Department of Agriculture's 1989-1991 Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals were examined. All foods were disaggregated into their component ingredients; all fruit and vegetable ingredients were assigned specific weights to correspond to a serving as defined by current dietary guidance materials; and the number of servings was tallied. Results. While mean intakes of fruits and vegetables--4.3 servings per day--were not far from the Year 2000 objective, only 32% of American adults' intakes met the objective. When more stringent standards were set either to compensate for higher calorie levels or to achieve the balance between fruits and vegetables suggested in current guidance, only 24% and 12%, respectively, met the recommendations. Conclusions. These results suggest a need to develop strategies for overcoming barriers to eating fruits and vegetables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objectives. This article uses folic acid as an example to illustrate some of the complex issues and general principles that emerge when evaluating fortification of the food supply as one possible means to address a public health recommendation. Methods. Distributions of current daily folate intakes from conventional foods and dietary supplements were estimated. Intakes that might result from fortification of cereal-grain products and ready-to-eat cereals at various levels for eight age-gender groups were also estimated by using the US Department of Agriculture's 1987-1988 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Results. The results illustrate that fortification of the US food supply tends to increase folate intakes of consumers at the high end of the intake distribution curves in the target population. Conclusions. The effectiveness of food fortification options for a target population and the safety for the general population impose conflicting challenges that must be considered concurrently when making decisions about fortifying the US food supply.

AB  - Objectives. The purpose of this study was lo determine whether diet adversely affected survival among 2572 older persons with indicators of kidney disease in a population-based cohort. Average follow-up time for survivors, of whom 1453 (57%) had died at analysis, was 14.5 years. Methods. Kidney disease indicators were a "yes" response to "Has a doctor ever told you that you have kidney disease or renal stones?" and/or trace or greater amounts of protein in urine. Dietary protein intakes were calculated from 24-hour recalls. Results. Cox proportional hazards models were used, stratified by sex. with age, body mass index, blood pressure, education, smoking status. total caloric intake, and diabetes mellitus as covariates. Relative risk of total mortality with an additional 15 g of protein per day was 1.25 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0% 1.42) among White men with kidney disease indicators, vs 1.00 (95% CI = 0.95, 1.06) among those without them; relative risks of renal-related mortality were 1.32 (95% CI = 0.97, 1.79) and 0.95 (95% CI = 0.81, 1.11), respectively. No significant differences were found for White women. Conclusions. Once chronic renal disease is present, diet may be associated with earlier mortality in White males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. Despite the rapid growth of the US physician supply since the mid-1970s, it remains unclear whether physicians have spread into the most rural areas of the country. This report examines the urban-rural distribution of physicians between 1975 and 1988. Methods. A county-based typology of the urban-rural continuum was employed to examine trends in the supply of nonfederal primary care physicians, specialist physicians, and osteopaths. Results. All urban and rural areas gained physicians during the late 1970s and 1980s. The supply of physicians increased most rapidly in metropolitan counties. Within nonmetropolitan areas, urbanized remote counties became more prominent centers of the physician supply. Osteopaths were more likely to locate in the most rural areas than allopaths. The physician supply in all areas also became more specialized over time. Conclusion. The rapid growth of the US physician supply was associated with the spread of more practitioners into all parts of the country. However, the supply of physicians increased most rapidly in urban areas, widening urban-rural differences in the availability of physicians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Objective: To characterize pregnant women's food safety practices, to evaluate the impact of existing educational messages on the risks and prevention of listeriosis, and to identify preferred delivery methods for educational initiatives. Design: Eight focus group discussions conducted with pregnant women in 4 locations. Setting: Focus group discussions led by moderators using a prepared moderator guide. Participants: Purposeful sampling was used to select the 63 pregnant women who participated in riffs study. The focus groups were segmented by location and education level. Phenomenon of Interest: Food safety knowledge and food-handling practices, food safety, practices during pregnancy, attitudes toward listeriosis brochure, and preferred delivery methods. Analysis: Focus group discussions were videotaped and audiorecorded. Detailed summaries of each discussion were prepared and systematically analyzed to identify common themes within and across groups. Results: Participants were not aware of the risks of listeriosis and recommended practices for listeriosis prevention; thus, they were not taking precautions during their pregnancy to prevent listeriosis. Conclusions and Implications: The study identified the need to develop educational materials on listeriosis targeted specifically to pregnant women and to partner with obstetricians and other health care providers to deliver these materials to pregnant women.

AB  - The US Department of Energy (DOE) and its supporting national laboratory and other research facilities represent a complex, diverse, and decentralized organization, yet much of the public does not recognize the Department as a major federal R&D agency and a significant contributor to the world's scientific and technical information knowledge base. As a result, the valuable information generated by DOE and its predecessor agencies' R&D activities is often overlooked and underutilized. Discusses the establishment of a digital National Library of Energy Science and Technology as a key initiative currently being pursued by the DOE. This library will collect, organize, preserve, and disseminate: (1) scientific and technical information; (2) program information; (3) energy-related educational information; and (4) energy production and utilization information and statistics; regardless of the source, platform, or format on which these information sources reside. The National Library will serve the Department, other government agencies, and U.S. industry, business, and educational communities with immediate and comprehensive information, a commodity which is a cornerstone to retaining U.S. leadership in the world economy in the 21st century. In addition to U.S. domestic information, the National Library program will also provide access to worldwide energy scientific and technical information through interagency and international scientific and technical information exchange agreements.

The article mentions that Qatar is the third largest country among natural gas reserves and possesses the largest non-associated gas fields in the world. The country is also emerging as a main exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and is exporting over 745,000 barrels of oil per day. Statistics show that Qatar's gross domestic product (GDP) is projected at the rate of 3.8 percent in 2002, based on the 3.4 percent in 2001 and a phenomenal growth rate of 11.5 percent in 2000. Qatar's economic policy has led to a surge in investment in projects for export of liquefied natural gas and petrochemicals (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The oil revenues make up around 90-95 percent of total Saudi export earnings, 70-80 percent of state revenues and around 40 percent of the country's gross domestic product. Saudi Arabia's economy remains heavily dependent on oil. Besides economic reform, Saudi Arabia also has made slow progress on attracting foreign direct investment. Large state corporations dominate the Saudi economy and there has not been a single sale of state assets to private control and privatization has been limited to allowing private firms to take on certain service functions. Saudi Arabia's long-term goal has been to develop its light crude reserves (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

AB  - Abstract:  Soil samples were randomly collected from 422 vegetable gardens in a study area centered in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, and having a radius of 48.28 km (30 miles). The levels of lead, four other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc, and pH were measured for each location. The application of multi-response permutation procedures, which are compatible with mapping techniques, reveals that lead as well as cadmium, copper, nickel, and zinc is concentrated and ubiquitous within the soils of the inner-city area of Metropolitan Baltimore. The probability values that the concentration of metals occurred by chance alone vary from about 10[sup -15] to 10[sup -21] depending on the metal considered. Our findings pose environmental and public health issues, especially to children living within the inner-city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article focuses on the Energy Information Administration report of the economic and environmental conditions in Sudan. Sudan is one among the world's poorest countries. With the commencement of oil production and exports in 1999, Sudan's economy has turned the corner after many years of poor performance. The economy has changed dramatically with oil revenues comprising 70 percent of all revenues. In 2000, the country's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 7.2 percent, with estimated growth of 5.5 percent in 2001 and over 5 percent in 2002. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expressed its satisfaction with Sudan's implementation of macroeconomic stabilization program and a structural reform. Sudan's oil export revenues make it vulnerable to oil price fluctuations (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

AB  - This article offers information about the socioeconomic and political conditions of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). UAE has proven reserves of 98 billion barrels or nearly 10 percent of the world's oil reserves and holds the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves, exporting significant amounts of liquefied natural gas. Presenting a brief overview of the UAE's government structure, the author discusses several projects undertaken by the UAE to diversify its economy in order to mitigate some of the effects of the falling oil prices. This article also mentions the participation of the UAE in a $1-billion plan to build a regional power grid throughout the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

AB  - The effects of aging on energy requirements and energy balance have been studied by several research groups using the doubly labeled water method. The weight of evidence from these investigations suggests that current recommended dietary allowances underestimate the usual energy needs of adults of all ages, including older adults. In addition, doubly labeled water studies have found a significant negative association between body fatness and energy expenditure for physical activity, and a significant positive association between energy expenditure for physical activity and fat-free mass. Further studies are needed to refine estimates of energy requirements for different population groups and to address the role of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of obesity.

AB  - This article reviews the history of the US Department of Agriculture School Breakfast Program (SBP) and provides a synthesis of factors influencing participation rates. Certain children are more likely to participate than others, such as those in lower grades and those from low-income households, and African American, Hispanic, and male students. A few studies in the past 25 y have examined the effectiveness of the SBP in improving the diets and nutritional status of children. The overall pattern that emerges from these studies is that the SBP contributes to improved nutrient intake in program participants. Less attention has been devoted to assessing the effects of SBP on cognitive development. Some of the evidence reviewed here suggests that the SBP significantly improves school performance and reduces absenteeism and tardiness. Future directions for research and operation of the SBP are discussed in light of the changing dietary profile of American children.

N2  - Aerobic exercise and training lead to numerous changes and/or adaptations in the normal physiological functioning of the body. The trace minerals chromium, zinc, and copper are directly involved in maintaining and regulating many of these physiological process, especially those involved in normal carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and the ultimate formation of usable energy. Therefore, it is important to establish whether exercise and training alter the functions of these trace elements, and to determine the overall effects of exercise on nutritional status and physical performance. Exercise results in a marked mobilisation of chromium into circulation, while zinc and copper levels have been shown to either remain stable or increase. Exercise also results in large increases in excretion of chromium, zinc and copper. Urinary chromium excretion has been shown to increase on an exercise day compared with a rest day, while increased zinc losses occur in urine and sweat and increased copper losses occur in urine, sweat, and faeces. When exercise-enhanced trace mineral losses are coupled with dietary intakes below the recommended levels, which are common place for both sedentary and exercising individuals, the nutritional status and overall health of exercising individuals may be suboptimal. Individuals who train intensively may be at special risk due to repeated increased losses. Trained athletes have lower resting serum zinc levels, and possible alterations in copper nutriture compared with sedentary controls. These changes suggest an altered metabolism and/or nutritional status of the trace minerals chromium, zinc, and copper in trained individuals and those who exercise strenuously.

AB  - We describe a method for comparing food intakes reported in surveys with recommendations given in the US Department of Agriculture's food guide pyramid. Such comparison was previously difficult because many foods are eaten as mixtures that cannot be categorized into pyramid food groups and because food intake data and food recommendations are expressed in different units of measurement. We developed a recipe file showing ingredients at multiple levels of breakdown and used it to disaggregate food mixtures into their ingredients so that they could be placed into pyramid food groups. Food-specific weights consistent with the pyramid definitions for serving sizes were derived from the food code book of the 1989-]991 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and used to develop a serving-weight file. Data collected from 8181 adults aged >/= 20 y in the survey were used to estimate the mean number of servings from pyramid food groups and percentages of the population meeting pyramid recommendations. The mean numbers of servings were close to the minimum recommendations for the grain, vegetable, and meat groups and well below the minimum recommendations for the fruit and dairy groups. Large proportions of adults (43-72%) failed to meet the dietary recommendations. Our method has several nutrition monitoring and nutrition education applications.

N2  - Insects were surgically modified by removing the corpus allatum/corpus cardiacum (CA-CC) complex at 4 h postemergence and the ovaries at 20 h postemergence. Hormone replacement therapy was conducted with a juvenile hormone analogue, methoprene, and 20-hydroxyecdysone [ecdysterone]. A 1 µg dose of methoprene, applied topically, restored control levels of vitellogenin (Vg) in flies without the CA-CC complex but a 5/µg dose of ecdysterone did not. When ovariectomized insects without the CA-CC complex were treated topically with 0.1 µg methoprene and injected with 0.05 or 0.5 µg ecdysterone, Vg levels were increased to control amounts, but neither hormone alone at these doses induced the appearance of Vg. Thus the production of control levels of Vg required both juvenile hormone and ecdysteroid.

N2  - Ricelands in the USA produce floodwater Aedes and Psorophora spp. whose soilbound eggs hatch shortly after flooding to produce distinct broods of mosquitoes, and standing water Anopheles, Culex and Culiseta spp., which oviposit on the water surface from which mosquitoes continuously emerge. Community-sponsored mosquito control programmes commonly include aerial application of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis or methoprene, combined occasionally with the introduction of mosquitofish (usually Gambusia affinis) against larvae, and aerial and ground ultralow volume applications of fenthion, malathion, naled or resmethrin against adults. Economical surveillance methods are utilized to support decisions on placement and timing of control applications. New biological control agents that might be effective in riceland situations include fungi, bacteria and microsporidia; some of these agents could be available within 3-5 years. The number of new candidate insecticides has diminished markedly in recent years, a trend that is expected to continue. To improve the capability for control, more ecological and biological information on mosquito vectors of disease is required. Models for predicting riceland mosquito populations based on annual availability of irrigation water and rainfall are discussed. Computer simulation models are being devised and utilized because they greatly assist in the selection and timing of control-strategy components.

N2  - A series of experiments were performed on drone parasitism in Africanized honey bees (hybrids of Apis mellifera scutellata and various European strains of A. mellifera). In the 1st experiment, an apiary in Venezuela was stocked with 10 Africanized and 10 European colonies of A. mellifera. Africanized drones established in Africanized colonies migrated to European colonies in large and vastly disproportionate numbers when compared to drones in any other category of drone type, home colony and host colony. In the 2nd experiment, the effects of the direction that the colony faced on drone migration were tested. Half of the European and half of the Africanized colonies were turned at intervals during a course of 10 days so that the direction they faced was reversed. The effects of the direction that the colonies faced had minimal influence on drone migration. In experiment 3, an apiary was prepared in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to estimate the effects of drone migration on the reproductive potential of colonies. The apiary contained large colonies (50-60 000 bees) with laying queens, no immature drones and 3 frames of empty drone comb. Adult drones reared in other colonies were added to experimental colonies in groups of 0, 500, 1000 or 2000. Hive entrances were screened to confine drones to hives but permit normal worker-bee activity. On the 14th day after the apiary was prepared, the number of immature drones being raised by colonies was counted. A significant inverse linear relationship between the number of drones reared by colonies and the number of drones added to them was found: results suggested that an adult drone in a colony has a depressing value of about -0.65 on the regulatory system which governs the production of additional drones. It also suggests that the loss of a single adult drone stimulates the production of an additional 0.65 drones. The migration of a single drone results in a numerical reproductive advantage of 1.3 drones for the parent colony when both factors are considered.&lt;new para&gt;ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:&lt;new para&gt;Parasitism of European honeybee colonies by Africanized queens and drones is discussed. It has been reported that workers in a swarm of Africanized bees can enter a hive, kill the queen, and thus allow their own queen to usurp the colony. Drones from Africanized colonies frequently migrate to European colonies whereas Africanized colonies rarely accept drones from other colonies [see AA 571/86, 543/88]. Africanized colonies thus gain a strong mating advantage in an area where both types of colony exist.^CENTREQUAD~D.G. Lowe.

N2  - The mean proportion addresses the question about the average per person and the population proportion addresses the question of population intakes. But because either may be used to answer the same general question, confusion may result. The factors influencing differences between 2 assessment formulae and the implications of those differences for reporting and interpreting dietary intake data are discussed.

N2  - Chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry was used for the purpose of confirming TLC tests for the presence of oosporein in poultry feeds. Oosporein was isolated in pure form from a culture of Chaetomium trilaterale. Positive ion CI (PCI) and methane negative ion CI (NCI) spectra were obtained. With PCI the major ion present was (M + I)+ at 307 m/z (relative intensity), while with NCI the major ions were M- at 306 and (M + 2)- at 308. The combination of PCI (M + 1)+ 307 with NCI M- (306) and (M + 2)- 308 provided unique criteria for the confirmation of oosporein in poultry rations, and was successfully applied to extracts of feed containing 5 ppm oosporein.

N2  - Leucokinins I-IV did not activate visceral muscles uniformly as a class but rather showed a selective action on the muscles of the hindgut of L. maderae [Rhyparobia maderae]. This organ showed a contractile response to all of the leucokinins at 3×10-10M that was 5-10% above the mean level of spontaneous activity. The maximum response for each peptide was recorded at 2.1×10-7M. Both the foregut and the oviduct were 100- to 1000-fold less sensitive than the hindgut, and each of the former organs required &gt;10-8M to elicit a detectable excitation. The heart, by comparison, failed to give consistent responses with any of the peptides. The leucokinins caused a protracted excitation of contractile events in the hindgut that lasted for &gt;60 min. Moreover, all 4 peptides evoked contractions from hindguts after membrane depolarization with 158 mM potassium. This result shows that non-synaptic receptors for the peptides exist in visceral muscle. The leucokinins showed no evidence of facilitating the reentry of calcium into calcium depleted hindgut preparations.

N2  - The insect control agent B. thuringiensis was found to be a ubiquitous soil microorganism. Using acetate selection to screen soil samples, B. thuringiensis was isolated in 785 of 1115 soil samples. These samples were obtained in the USA and 29 other countries. A total of 48% of the B. thuringiensis isolates (8916 isolates) fit the biochemical description of known varieties, while 52% represented undescribed B. thuringiensis types. Over 60% (1052 isolates) of the isolates tested for toxicity were toxic to Lepidoptera (Bombyx mori or Trichoplusia ni) or Diptera (Culex pipiens). Soil samples were collected from various habitats, including beach, subterranean, deserts, savannah, tropical rain forest, urban, temperate forest, agricultural land, steppe and arctic tundra, i.e. habitats with different numbers of insects. The current presence of insects did not predict the presence of B. thuringiensis in a particular soil sample. B. thuringiensis was most abundant in samples from Asia.&lt;new para&gt;ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:&lt;new para&gt;Bacillus thuringiensis was found in 70.4% of 1115 soil samples from 30 countries which included all 6 faunal regions. Of the 8916 isolates, 48% were of known varieties and 52% were new. The most widespread and common of the known varieties was israelensis (serotype H-14). Of the 1052 isolates tested, 63% were toxic to larvae of Diptera (Culex pipiens) and/or Lepidoptera. B. thuringiensis was most abundant in samples from Asia (Nepal, Korea, Vietnam). It was common in soils from all plant communities, including tundra, farmland, tropical rainforest and desert. There was no association with the presence of insects at the sample site and "the role of B. thuringiensis in the environment remains an enigma".J.E. Hudson

N2  - Injections of oostatic hormone into females of Aedes aegypti inhibited egg development, proteolytic enzyme activity, and blood digestion in the midgut. Using [1,3-³H]diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), the synthesis of trypsin-like enzymes was followed in the midgut of female A. aegypti. A 4-fold reduction in synthesis of trypsin-like enzymes was noted after oostatic hormone treatment. Injection of the hormone into decapitated and ovariectomized females inhibited trypsin-like enzyme synthesis and blood digestion in the midgut, indicating that oostatic hormone inhibits the midgut cells and not the ovary or the brain's endocrine system. A. aegypti oostatic hormone is not species specific. When injected into Culex nigripalpus, C. quinquefasciatus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus and A. albimanus the hormone inhibited egg development, blood digestion and synthesis of trypsin-like enzymes in the midgut. Membrane feeding of hormone to adult female Aedes aegypti, or injection of hormone into the midgut through the anus also inhibited egg development in these females. Since larvae of A. aegypti use trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like enzymes for digestion, oostatic hormone may inhibit food digestion in the larval gut, and could be used as a larvicide.

N2  - Cytotoxicity figures (LC50 values) are given of purified crystal protein from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis tested against the following lepidopteran cell lines: Choristoneura fumiferana, 1 line; Manduca sexta, 1 line; Plodia interpunctella, 4 lines; Spodoptera frugiperda, 1 line and Trichoplusia ni, 1 line. The protein from B. t. israelensis only was also tested against 1 each of dipteran cell lines from Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. Results broadly mirrored entire-host susceptibility: LD50s against lepidopteran cell lines were all lower for B. t. kurstaki than for B. t. israelensis protein, while for B. t. israelensis LD50s were lower against both of the dipteran than against any of the lepidopteran cell lines. Susceptibility thus appeared to depend upon whole host source rather than organ (ovary, wing disk), tissue (endothelial, etc) or stage (embryo, neonate larva, pupa, adult) source.

N2  - The horizontal transmission of P. obesa to colony-maintained A. quadrimaculatus by an unknown entity isolated from a mosquito larval habitat is reported. The microscopic particles in 17 litres of water from a mosquito larval source in Florida, collected on 15 December 1986, were concentrated into 13 ml by continuous flow centrifugation. Of the 25 A. crucians collected with the water sample, only one was infected with P. obesa. Uninfected 1st-instar larvae of A. quadrimaculatus were held for 24 h in 2-4 ml of the concentrate diluted to 10 ml with water, then transferred to enamel pans with an additional 500 ml water and reared to adults at 27°C. Mated females were provided with a bloodmeal, and progeny from individual females were reared to adults and examined for infection. The preliminary screening was performed 24 h after the collection of the water sample and P. obesa meiospores were found in 5 of 12 dead, exposed 4th-instar larvae. Elongate binucleate spores and vegetative stages were localized in hypertrophied cells in one nulliparous female of the 18 surviving adult females examined. Neither the adult males nor the progeny of the females were infected. The 2nd assay was initiated 24 days after the collection of the water sample. Seven days later, at the beginning of pupation, white cysts were observed in 12 of 151 larvae, but adults and their progeny were not infected. There were no infected larvae among the unexposed controls. Fresh and Giemsa-stained smears of the exposed infected larvae revealed spores identical in size and appearance to P. obesa. One horizontally-infected larva was prepared for electron microscopy 7 days post-exposure; the ultrastructure of the spores and developmental stages confirmed the identity of P. obesa. Although the source of infection to mosquito larvae was not identified, it is concluded that P. obesa can be transmitted horizontally to laboratory colonies of A. quadrimaculatus, and that the occurrence of binucleate spores in adult females and meiospores in larvae suggests that patent infections in field-collected larvae could be the result of either horizontal or vertical transmission.

N2  - This book provides a current and comprehensive review of Sarcocystis and sarcocystosis in animals and man. The book is divided into 16 chapters. The first chapter is a general review of the history, structure, life cycle, pathogenesis, lesions, clinical signs, diagnosis, immunity, epidemiology, treatment, prevention and control of sarcocystosis. The 2nd chapter emphasizes techniques and includes the maintenance of the parasite in the laboratory, collection and purification of sporozoites, merozoites, and bradyzoites, preparation of antigens, serological techniques, clinicopathological techniques, and in vitro and in vivo cultivation. Successive chapters concern Sarcocystis in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, equids, humans and primates, camels, buffaloes, birds, wild ruminants and zoo animals, and poikilothermic animals. For each major host species, information of the structure, life cycle, clinical signs, diagnosis, immunity, and economics is critically reviewed. The last chapter summarizes information on the related coccidian genus Frenkelia and other cyst-forming coccidians. A comprehensive bibliography is given for each host. This book will be useful to biologists, veterinarians, physicians, and researchers.

N2  - Over a 100-day period all subjects were given a 20-day base-line diet in which 45% of energy was provided by fat, half the subjects continued on this diet and half were given a low-fat diet providing only 25% of total energy for 40 days and then switched back to a high-fat diet for 40 days. When the fat was reduced there was an improvement in the overall nutrient content of the diet. Cholesterol, saturated fatty acid, and monounsaturated fatty acid intake were decreased and the polyunsaturated fatty acid content was slightly increased. This kind of dietary change was achieved without changing the usual intake of meats, dairy products, fish and eggs. As the amount of fat was decreased, carbohydrates in the form of grains, fruits, and vegetables were increased, providing an improvement in the vitamin and mineral content of the diet. Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12 and folates increased in the low-fat diet. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and copper intake also increased when the dietary fat decreased.

N2  - In rats changes in liver trace element concentrations caused by copper deficiency were altered by the cystine and methionine content of the diet. The effects were most marked in male rats and with liver iron. With males, the smallest increase in liver Fe concentration caused by Cu deficiency occurred in those given supplementary cystine 6 mg/g of a 16% casein-70% acid washed-ground maize diet; the largest increase occurred in rats fed on a diet with methionine 6 or 12 mg/g diet. It was concluded that sulphur amino acid supply affects the nature and severity of the signs of copper deficiency in rats.

N2  - Parasitic nematodes, Tetradonema sp. were observed in the fire ants, S. invicta, for the first time. Five colonies in a sample of 14 colonies from one site in Mato Grosso, Brazil, were infected. The infection rate among adult workers was 12.5% in one colony and &lt;5% in each of the remaining colonies. Adult reproductive males and females, eggs and juvenile nematodes were observed in the haemocoel of male and worker ants. The infected worker ants often can be recognized by their slightly enlarged gasters, the dorsal sclerites of which may have a scalloped appearance. There are no other morphological signs of infection and no observable changes in behaviour. Infected adult males contained normal sperm. An attempt to transmit the nematode to colonies of S. invicta in the USA was unsuccessful.

N2  - The residual effectiveness against laboratory-reared females of Anopheles quadrimaculatus of a synthetic pyrethroid (permethrin) applied to cattle in Florida was determined. 24-h post-exposure mortality and the degree of successful blood engorgement were determined by exposing mosquitoes for 10 min to cattle. Three replicated assays were conducted and mortality determined at 1, 2, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days after each treatment with an oil-based (pour-on) formulation of permethrin (DeLice) or with an emulsifiable concentrate (Atroban) applied at label rates. Mosquito mortality ranged from 79-85% (1 day post-application) to 12-38% (21 days post-application).

N2  - Amblyospora bracteata, Polydispyrenia simulii and 3 other (undescribed) microsporidia are reported from 11 species of Neotropical blackfly larvae (Gigantodax bonorinorus, G. chilensis, G. fulvescens, G. rufescens, G. rufidulum [sic], G. antarcticus, Cnesia dissimilis, Simulium bonaerense, S. rubiginosum, S. wolffhuegli and S. limay) collected from streams in Buenos Aires (eastern) and Neuquen (southwestern) provinces of Argentina. Preliminary light and electron microscopy studies indicate that 2 of the undescribed species belong in the family Thelohaniidae and the third species is placed in the family Caudosporidae. Ten species of Argentine blackflies are recorded as new host records for A. bracteata and P. simulii.

N2  - Field tests in Florida evaluated repellent formulations containing deet [diethyltoluamide] in combination with permethrin-impregnated or untreated military uniforms against A. taeniorhynchus. No significant difference was determined between repellents (3M's and Biotek's controlled-release formulations containing 35 and 44% diethyltoluamide, respectively, and the current US military all-purpose repellent containing 75% diethyltoluamide in ethanol) in duration of protection whether or not permethrin-treated clothing was worn, but there were differences in efficacy relative to site of application. The head was the site shorter for duration of protection regardless of repellent tested. On repellent-treated skin, 12-30% of the bites were on the head. When military repellent was used, the head was bitten 35% more often than with experimental repellents. On untreated clothing 80% of bites were through trousers and 20% through shirts. Mean bites through untreated clothing were 0.7 bites/min/person (42/h), whereas mean bites through permethrin-impregnated clothing were 0.0004/min/person (0.02/h). Protection by permethrin-treated clothing relative to untreated clothing was 99.9%.

N2  - Two experimental controlled-release repellent formulations containing 35% (3M) and 44% (Biotek) deet [diethyltoluamide], respectively, were compared with a 75% standard formulation of deet used by the military. The military repellent was equal to or significantly better than the formulations in duration of protection against Anopheles quadrimaculatus in laboratory tests and Aedes taeniorhynchus in field tests conducted in Florida, but the formulations contained only 47-59% the amount of diethyltoluamide in the military repellent. In all cases, high levels of protection (&gt;95%) were measured, but because of high densities of biting mosquitoes in field tests, this level did not necessarily indicate few bites. In terms of mean bites/test/day by Anopheles quadrimaculatus in caged tests, the military repellent had fewest (2) and Biotek had most (41).

N2  - Techniques are described for mass rearing the mosquito A. freeborni. Eggs were incubated overnight at ca. 28°C and then dried. Measured quantities of dried eggs were placed into styrofoam rings floating on the water surface of rearing trays. Water levels in larval rearing trays were kept shallow, and temperature was maintained with heat tapes at ca. 28°C. Larvae were fed once a day on a slurry containing a 3:1:1:1 mixture of guineapig chow, liver powder, yeast and hog chow. Pupation began on the 7th day after egg hatch, and pupae were harvested on the 8th, 9th and 10th days; ca. 1700 pupae were harvested/tray. Adults emerged from 85% of the pupae, and about 40% were female. Individual males held in gallon-sized containers inseminated as many as 10 females. Although most sugar-fed males died within 2 weeks after emergence, over 35% of sugar-fed females survived for 3 weeks. Colonies were maintained on defibrinated bovine blood provided in natural membrane prophylactics (i.e. condoms). There were no significant differences in the number of blood-fed females or in the number of eggs they produced when mosquitoes were offered either guineapigs or defibrinated bovine blood. Eggs were collected in plastic cups placed in cages. There was less than 6% mortality of eggs when these were dried and stored at 10°C for 6 days.

N2  - Interval suction traps were used to study the attractant effect of CO2 and 1-octen-3-ol on trap catches of mosquito populations at 2 different locations in Florida. There was no significant increase in the numbers of mosquitoes caught when the concentration of CO2 was increased from 200 to 1000 cc/min. 1-Octen-3-ol used by itself attracted mosquitoes in numbers similar to CO2 released at 200 cc/min. 1-Octen-3-ol and CO2 acted synergistically in attracting significantly greater numbers of Aedes taeniorhynchus, Anopheles atropos, A. crucians, A. quadrimaculatus and Wyeomyia mitchellii than either used singly, although the response of Culex spp. to this bait combination was less pronounced. Ceratopogonidae (Culicoides furens and C. mississippiensis) and Tabanidae (Diachlorus ferrugatus, Tabanus nigrovittatus and Chrysops spp.) were also attracted to the combined bait.

N2  - Sibling species D, a new member of the A. quadrimaculatus complex, was identified in collections from Pickwick Lake, Tishomingo County, Mississippi and Choctawhatchee, Bay County, in West Florida. This species occurred sympatrically with the previously described species A, B and C. Evidence for identification of species D includes diagnostic allozymes, a lack of polytene chromosomes in the ovarian nurse cells, and inviability of F1 progeny and lack of sperm transfer in hybridization crosses. An electrophoretic taxonomic key for distinguishing species D from A, B and C is presented.

N2  - Males of Blattella germanica, exposed to 12 h light-12 h dark (LD 12:12), constant darkness (LD 0:24) and constant light (LD 24:0) in ultraviolet (365 nm peak), blue green (495 nm peak) or white (about 400-1100 nm) light exhibited different rhythms and magnitudes of locomotion. All wavelengths induced a bimodal pattern of nocturnal activity in LD 12:12, which was maintained as a free-running rhythm with a shorter period in constant darkness; activity was suppressed in constant light. Ultraviolet caused the greatest change in locomotion during transitions between photoperiods, but blue-green established a free-running rhythm that was maintained for longer. Since different sensory cells and perhaps pathways are involved in processing ultraviolet and blue-green light, ultraviolet could mediate direct responses to light stimuli and blue-green may regulate more complex behaviour.

N2  - A wide spectrum of repetitive DNA amounts and interspersion patterns is seen in mosquitoes and other dipterans. Using a simple and rapid technique (probing recombinant libraries with total genomic DNA), it is shown that these range from a minimal amount in 5 species of Anopheles (A. quadrimaculatus species A, B and C, A. freeborni and A. albimanus) through moderate amounts in Culex quinquefasciatus to large amounts in Aedes aegypti and Stomoxys calcitrans. Although Culex and Aedes are closely related and both have a considerable amount of interspersed repetitive DNA, the repetitive sequences are different between the 2 genera. These results and previously published information show that the amount of repetitive DNA and nucleotide sequences involved have changed many times during the evolution of the Diptera.

N2  - In Louisiana, a larva of A. sollicitans with a mottled, brownish-yellow iridescent appearance was isolated and suspected of being infected with a virus. In the laboratory, larvae of A. taeniorhynchus became infected after exposure to inoculum, and these exhibited an iridescence characteristic of the R-strain of IV-3 (i.e. the 'regular' strain of mosquito iridescent virus (Chloriridovirus)). Ultrastructural investigations of both infected species verified crystalline arrays of icosahedral particles similar in morphology but somewhat smaller in size than those previously published for IV-3.

N2  - Exposure to methoprene-treated Haematobia irritans rearing medium or to methoprene-treated fly pupae had no effect on the survival of adults of S. cameroni. Exposure of these parasitoids to fly pupae collected from treated rearing medium did not reduce the fecundity of the female parasitoids, but apparently it did cause changes in the sex ratio of their progeny. Fewer parasitoids developed from parasitized fly pupae that had been reared on medium treated with methoprene than from untreated pupae.

N2  - The fungus M. anisopliae, known to be a pathogen of terrestrial insects, has been shown to be a potentially successful biocontrol agent of mosquitoes. Two methods of inoculation of C. quinquefasciatus were examined and compared as to rate of kill, route of invasion, histopathology and pathogenesis, and presence or absence of toxin-related mortality. One method of inoculation involves covering the surface of the water containing the larvae with dry, hydrophobic conidia. Larvae contact the fungus when they break the water tension with their perispiracular valves for air intake. Histopathological studies reveal complete or near complete blockage of trachea with mycelial growth, beginning at the siphon tip and extending only one-third of the way into the trachea. Extensive hyphal growth and formation of appressoria with a subsequent melanization reaction by host tissue were clearly observed in the portion of the siphon invaded, but no hyphal bodies were evident, as occur in terrestrial insects. The waxy-coated conidia adhere to the inside surface of the valves, germinate and invade the siphon tip tissue, much like the first stages of invasion seen in terrestrial insects. Death did not begin in the treated population until 48-h post-treatment and appeared to be due primarily to suffocation. An alternative route of exposure examined was ingestion of detergent-wetted conidia that sunk to the bottom of the container of water. When ingested, the conidia completely filled the larval gut, causing mortality to begin within 6-24 h after ingestion. Toxin is apparently released during digestion; partially digested conidia are evident in electron micrographs of midguts of moribund larvae. Some conidia were shown to be at the beginning stages of germination in the midguts of moribund larvae but no invasion of tissue was apparent. In both treatments, conidia must be viable in order to cause mortality in mosquito larvae.

N2  - A total of 2543 larvae of A. quadrimaculatus were collected in May-July 1985 in 37 flooded rice fields in Louisiana. From these 148 collections, larvae infected with P. anophelis were found in 28, i.e. 17 of the 37 collection sites; the number of infected larvae found was 39 (1.53% incidence, similar to that observed in other habitats). No obvious trends in disease incidence over the course of the season could be discerned. Rice fields represent a new habitat for the microsporidian.

N2  - Nosema aedis was found to be a heterosporous species with 3 sporulation sequences. Usually, one sequence developed in a parental generation host individual that was infected per os as a larva and the other 2 developed concurrently in a filial host larva that was infected transovarially. Under some conditions there were deviations from the parental host-filial host alternation. The 1st sporulation sequence was diplokaryotic (diploid in a particular sense) throughout; the other 2 arose from diplokaryotic meronts, developed concurrently and ended with haploid spores. Haplosis in one case was by means of dissociation of the diplokaryon. In the other case it was by meiosis. Conflicting reports about whether the members of the diplokaryon in the latter sequence separate and undergo meiosis individually or coalesce and undergo meiosis as one nucleus were resolved in favour of the latter idea. A new genus in the family Amblyosporidae is created to contain this species, which becomes Edhazardia aedis gen. nov., comb. nov.

N2  - Studies are reviewed which demonstrate the interaction between the type of dietary carbohydrate and copper status in rats, pigs and probably man. An increase in total blood cholesterol and an undesirable distribution of cholesterol between lipoproteins has been shown in man after intake of diets low in Cu. Comments are made on the possible implications of the studies for human health. Further studies are required on the existence of the fructose-Cu interaction in man, and to determine the role of Cu deficiency in the aetiology of human heart disease.

N2  - A procedure is presented for estimating sales loss following a food contamination incident, with application to the case of heptachlor contamination of fresh fluid milk in Oahu, Hawaii, in 1982. A major finding is that media coverage following the incident had a significant impact on milk purchases and that negative coverage had a larger effect than positive coverage. This conclusion implies that public statements by producers or government to assure the public of safe food supplies may be ineffective in restoring consumer confidence following the discovery of a food safety problem.

N2  - The USA assists US agricultural exports with programmes to match competitors' subsidized prices, help overcome importers' foreign exchange constraints to purchasing US agricultural commodities, build long term markets, and provide food aid. These programmes stimulate export volume and revenues, and boost US market share but, they involve budgetary and off-budget costs and affect domestic stock levels, farm prices and incomes, consumer prices, and farm programme costs. Whether costs outweigh benefits is unclear.

N2  - Domestic food assistance programmes have improved the nutrition of low-income Americans. The costs of these programmes rose from $8500 million in 1977 to $21 200 million in 1988. Participation in most of the programmes peaked in the early 1980s and then declined, mainly because of improved economic conditions. During the 1980s, the greatest increase in expenditures has been for commodity distribution programmes and for the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Food assistance programmes have generally provided desired nutritional benefits and have helped control Government inventories of surplus foods. Passage of the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988 initiated important changes in some food assistance programmes.

N2  - Throughout US history, new scientific developments have profoundly altered knowledge about risks in the food supply and revolutionized procedures for controlling those risks. The result is that the USA has the safest food supply in the world, but knowledge continues to improve. Today, epidemiological studies reveal that micro-organisms are a more common cause of foodborne disease than previously suspected. New data on natural and synthetic chemicals indicate that some may have the potential to cause cancer. Because very low levels of chemicals are not detectable with new technologies, legal restrictions could be triggered. Rapid tests may improve monitoring of critical control points in food production and distribution. The challenge is to incorporate this new knowledge into food safety policies.

N2  - Changes in US food consumption patterns over the period 1966-87 are analysed. Following a look at overall trends, price effects, dairy product use, fruit consumption, fresh vegetable use, flour and cereal products, and beverage consumption trends, it is concluded that consumption patterns have shifted as a result of increasing food prices, greater total food supplies, higher incomes, new information on nutrition and food safety, changes in lifestyles, and technological advances in food production and marketing. The per capita food consumption index measures changes in overall food consumption. Primarily, it shows changes in quantity, although it also reflects shifts among major food categories, such as the move from higher priced beef to lower priced poultry or from processed to fresh, particularly for fruits and vegetables. The index includes foods eaten away from home and foods produced and consumed on farms. In 1987, USDA's per capita food consumption index for all foods was 9% higher than in 1967. The crop index rose 17% in those 20 years, compared with 3.5% for animal products. Consumption of most crop categories climbed steadily during the period, especially fresh fruits, fats and oils, vegetables, grain products, and sweeteners. The increase for animal products has been moderated, however, by the declining use of red meat, eggs, fluid milk and cream, and animal fats.

N2  - US food distribution programmes have historically had dual objectives: to provide food assistance to low-income people; and to stabilize farmer prices by providing outlets for surplus foods. Programme costs have fluctuated, rising from $95.7 million in 1978 to a high of $1490 million in 1984, then declining to $1060 million in fiscal year 1988. The Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) accounted for most of the growth and fluctuations observed during the 1980s. Between 1982, when TEFAP was initiated, and 1988, the programme distributed over $5600 million worth of surplus Government commodities to needy persons. By fiscal 1988, Government surplus stocks were depleted and the amount of commodities distributed was cut sharply. The Hunger Prevention Act of 1988 extended TEFAP for 2 years and authorized the purchase of $160 million worth of commodities, in addition to USDA surplus stocks. Since the mid-1970s, the agricultural situation in developing countries had changed. In general, food production per capita has worsened in Africa compared with other regions, especially Asia. These changes have resulted in shifts in the distribution of US food aid. In fiscal years 1986-88, Asian countries received slightly more than 25% in fiscal years 1976-78. African countries, on the other hand, received almost 50% of all US food aid in fiscal years 1986-88. Egypt alone accounted for more than 15% of the US total. In fiscal 1976-78, African countries only received about 30% of US food aid. The share shipped to Latin American grew from about 10% to about 25%, reflecting unsteady growth in per capita grain production and higher debt burdens there.

N2  - While new tests and better risk assessment methods have raised concerns about the safety of some US foods, new technologies have enhanced the ability to ensure food safety. The challenge is to incorporate this new knowledge into food safety policies that are both comprehensive and cost effective. Regulations are necessary to ensure the safety of mass produced food: most common regulatory tools are tolerances and food manufacturing process standards, enforced by government agencies. However, too much regulation can be as costly to society as too little regulation. The key to optimal regulation and oversight lies in determining when the benefit of human health protection is greater than the extra cost. Food safety risks therefore need to be carefully assessed. In the case of microbial contamination, potential hazards must first be identified; information developed on infective doses; how many people are likely to be exposed to a hazard estimated; and the economic and social impacts must be assessed, i.e., medical costs of treatment and productivity losses. All pesticides must have EPA approval before they can be sold in the USA. All animal drugs must have FDA approval. In terms of residues in food, tolerances must be set at a level that protects public health and allows for an abundant and economic food supply. To reduce public confusion, such risk-benefit standards need to be clearly explained.

N2  - Recent consumer surveys in the USA reveal that Americans want improvement in the safety of foods they eat and are willing to pay for it. Although government has instituted regulations establishing minimum levels of safety performance to apply to all businesses, they are inflexible and thus do not meet the varied demands of all consumers. Consumer surveys carried out by the Food Marketing Institute since 1983 indicate that a majority of consumers express a high degree of confidence in the foods they bought; however, significant concerns were expressed over particular safety issues. More than 73% consistently expressed apprehension over pesticide residues. Other areas of concern included irradiation, and antibiotic and hormone residues in poultry and livestock products. A 1988 survey of consumers in Florida ranked residues as the most serious concern followed by bacteria and additives. Shoppers were altering their food consumption patterns to reduce perceived risks. A substantial desire for safer poultry products was also evident with great concern expressed over the microbial contamination problem. Although willing to pay more for improved poultry products, the method used to enhance safety was important; irradiation was not as popular as improved inspection and cleaner processing facilities.

N2  - While the popularity of fruits and vegetables in the USA has surged in recent years, a growing number of consumers have become concerned about the health effects of chemical residues on produce. In a 1988 nationwide survey, nearly 18% of consumers polled were concerned enough to change their buying habits. Some supermarkets and food retailers are responding by adding organic sections to their produce departments and by providing information for the consumer on safe levels of pesticide residues. However, many consumers are wary of the effectiveness of current food safety regulations and are unaware of the scope of the US food regulatory system in terms of the inspection and testing procedures. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets pesticide tolerances and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors pesticide residues. Laws and enforcement programmes also exist at state level. Recent changes in pesticide regulations and residue monitoring procedures should further reduce health risks, however, stricter regulation may make costs prohibitive for testing and registering some chemicals used on limited fruit and vegetable acreage. Reduced availability of pesticides may lead to lower output and higher prices.

N2  - The potential introduction of growth hormones manufactured using recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques for use in milk and meat production raises important questions about food safety that the US government, scientists and consumers must decide. The first likely commercial applications of rDNA technology will be in the manufacture of somatotropins, growth hormones that promote greater milk production in dairy cows (bST) and allow livestock to grow faster on less feed (pST for pigs). However, for these new products to be commercial successes, they must be considered safe. These growth promoters are currently under regulatory review. Such a review must balance competing interests. Experiments with pST indicate 28% greater feed efficiency, 19% greater growth rates, 33% reductions in backfat and a 20% larger loin eye in pigs. These gains mean that pST could reverse meat consumption patterns as greater red meat production is accompanied by lower prices. With more recent controversies over health and safety regulations (DES and the pesticide heptachlor), consumers have become more sensitive to the consequences of changing farm production practices. Regulations that prohibit the sale of products that might be hazardous to some people could delay the commercialization of beneficial items enhancing safety or reducing production costs. Balancing these forces is politically difficult. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has only to consider whether animals treated with growth hormones are safe for human consumption and whether hormone use in general is safe, not balance opposing views. However, the regulatory process used to evaluate bST and pST and the resulting decisions will be important for research and development incentives throughout the biotechnology industry.

N2  - For over 40 years, GATT has provided a legal framework for conducting international trade. As part of the current negotiations (the Uruguay Round) the Negotiating Group on Agriculture is aiming to eliminate the illegitimate use of health regulations as a means of protecting markets. A principal intent of the US proposal in this area is to harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures according to scientific rationale. Such a step would entail reform of GATT's approach to health-related agricultural trade barriers and aid the liberalization of world trade. The alternative could be regionalization and trading blocs. It remains to be seen if the EC's efforts to harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary regulations within the region by 1992 will reflect their commitment to the international effort at coordination now under way.

N2  - The USSR cannot supply enough food for a population which can afford to buy it. Fixed retail prices, high production costs, and inadequate and misdirected investment in food processing and distribution have left their market on Soviet society. But today there is hope that political and economic reforms under way in the USSR will provide solutions to some of these problems. Increasing farm production is not enough. More attention must be paid to reforming the entire economy. Consumer demand should be curtailed, and a more flexible marketing system set up to make processing and distributing farm commodities more efficient. The increasing political and economic autonomy of the USSR's 15 republics may also play a role in getting the country out of its present situation. With greater independence from Moscow, individual republics have more control over their business affairs. More direct ties with these republics may present some US firms with new opportunities for doing business in the USSR.

N2  - Significant changes in US agricultural policy were made under the Food Security Act of 1985 (FSA85) and further revisions have continued. Several changes have direct bearing on the conduct of US food aid programmes, while others indirectly affect such aid through the cost and availability of food aid commodities. This paper briefly discusses changes in the FSA85 and more recent legislation regarding US farm, trade, and food aid programmes and some of their impact. In the wake of the FSA85, the use of US food aid has changed. More resources are being channeled through the recipient countries' private sectors, and more resources are also being used to support agricultural policy reform. Private US organizations that distribute the commodities have greater flexibility to monetize the aid and increase the effectiveness of their aid programmes. The effect of the FSA85, combined with other factors affecting world agricultural supply and demand, are now being felt. Exports of a variety of US food commodities have increased, and with stronger demand for US commodities, their domestic prices have recently been strengthened. These developments have important implications for US food aid. Higher prices and the use of generic certificates to redeem CCC stocks will affect the level of CCC stocks available for food aid programmes. If commodity prices continue to strengthen, then given set food aid budgets, the volume, and possibly the composition of food aid will change; commodity price increases can potentially reduce US food aid to developing countries.

N2  - The paper defines, identifies and compares the patterns of trade and development of the 'food crisis' countries with those of the 'growth importers'. Identification of differences provides a preliminary basis for developing an 'optimum' strategy for food self sufficiency. It is noted that intervention by the governments of the developing countries has not always been productive. Two national patterns of economic and agricultural development are characterized. One set of countries implicitly tax their agriculture and impose disincentives on industrial production directed both to domestic use and export. They thus lack foreign exchange for food imports and are 'food crisis' countries, borrowing and relying on others for food aid. A second category of countries experiences dynamic growth, including exports adequate to pay for required imports of food. The governments of crisis countries are shown to have established artificially low domestic food prices and overvalued currencies, resulting in (a) declining exports and foreign trade relative to gross domestic production and (b) stagnant per capita incomes. The growth countries have an opposite pattern; their foreign debt, moreover, has increased more rapidly than that of the crisis countries, but not in relation to exports of GDP.

N2  - During the past decade, the rice agroecosyystem and its associated mosquitoes have been the subject of an extensive research effort directed toward the development and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. The objective of this work was to synthesize the literature and unpublished data on the rice agroecosystem into a comprehensive simulation model of the key elements of the system known to influence the population dynamics of P. columbiae. This paper describes the development of 2 models: (1) WaterMod: Because spatial and temporal distributions of surface water and soil moisture play a decisive role in the dynamics of P. columbiae, an essentially hydrological simulator was developed. Its purpose is to provide environmental inputs for a 2nd model (PcSim) which simulates the population dynamics of P. columbiae. WaterMod utilizes data on weather, agricultural practices and soil characteristics for a particular region to generate a data set containing daily estimates of soil moisture and depth of water table for 12 representative areas comprising the rice agroecosystem. This model could be used to provide hydrologic inputs for additional simulation models of other riceland mosquito species. (2) PcSim: This model simulates the population dynamics of P. columbiae by using the computer to maintain a daily accounting of the absolute number of mosquitoes within each daily age class for each life stage. The model creates estimates of the number of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults for a representative 1-ha area of a rice agroecosystem.

N2  - The objective of this work was to validate the simulation models designed to describe key elements of the rice agroecosystem and the population dynamics of P. columbiae (see D.A. Focks et al. (1988) Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 4: 266-281) with field data. The 1st model (WaterMod) predicts soil hydrology conditions as a function of weather, agriculture practices and soil characteristics for a variety of habitats found within the rice agroecosystem which are utilized by P. columbiae. Using a continuous series of hydrologic data collected in southwestern Louisiana during 1984 and 1985, WaterMod was demonstrated capable of adequately predicting runoff rates and the temporal timing of soil moisture and surface water. The 2nd model (PcSim) simulates the population dynamics of P. columbiae based upon a host of variables including the output from WaterMod. This model was validated by comparisons made with density estimates from the literature on the temporal and spatial distribution of various life stages and by correspondence with the light trap data gathered during the same time and location as the hydrologic data. PcSim was seen to respond appropriately to host animal densities and unusual meterological events occurring during 1984 and 1985 in southern Louisiana. A discussion is presented of the interaction between agricultural practices and certain key factors of the life history strategy of P. columbiae which permit the unusually successful exploitation of the rice agroecosystem by this species.

N2  - Tolerance to sodium chloride of the fungus L. chapmanii, isolated from a Culex larva near a salt marsh in Florida, was evaluated to assess its potential for control of salt marsh mosquitoes. NaCl at concentrations up to about 5 g/litre enhanced mycelial growth; higher salt concentrations were progressively inhibitory, with growth failing to occur at 20 g/litre. Zoosporogenesis was much more sensitive to salinity than mycelial growth: IC50 was 4.0 for zoospores produced in vivo (in Aedes taeniorhynchus and Culex quinquefasciatus) and 4.7 for zoospores produced in vitro. The results indicated that salinity would be a limiting factor to achieving L. chapmanii infections in some but not all salt marsh habitats.

N2  - Erythrosin B (Synerid), a photooxidative dye, has been shown to have insecticidal properties against adult house flies [Musca domestica] in small-scale poultry tests conducted in Florida, USA. It provided up to 95% reduction of the adult fly population in one of these tests. It is not, however, commercially satisfactory as a house fly larvicide. Erythrosin B, acridine red and rose bengal have all been used experimentally to control mosquito larvae in small pools. Erythrosin B also shows promise as a single mound treatment for control of fire ants, Solenopsis invicta. It controlled colonies as effectively as Amdro [hydramethylnon] through 56 days post-treatment. The photooxidative dyes are extremely safe to man and the environment. Erythrosin B has an LD50 of 6000-7000 mg/kg of body weight.

N2  - Although much effort in the past was devoted to the definition of essentiality and requirements of individual trace elements, the more recent recognition of numerous interactions cautions against simple quantification of requirements, safe intakes, toxic exposures or recommended allowances of any element in isolation. These considerations strongly suggest the use of ranges for statements of requirements and recommended allowances, an approach that has been used by expert committees of the World Health Organization as well as the USA National Academy of Sciences. The enormous resources that would be required to quantify all now-known trace element interactions strongly suggest that our knowledge of the latter will remain incomplete for some time to come. Thus, the potential risk arising from disturbing delicate equilibria by intervention with any one trace element or other nutrient that interacts with trace elements, cannot be quantified. Mankind has adapted to the balance of trace elements and other nutrients provided by conventional diets; it seems prudent to continue relying on diets consisting of a variety of foods as sources not only for our trace elements but also of their balance.

N2  - The US commodity export programme (CEP) provides subsidized credit to the importer (rather than subsidized commodity prices) to alleviate foreign exchange and income problems on the part of the importer. In the case of Colombia, credit subsidies were such that the total costs of financed imports approximated the cash price. The impact of CEP subsidies on wheat import demand in Colombia was estimated. CEP credit increased demand for CEP and commercial imports. The cost of CEP financing behaved as a price variable. CEP aid included providing credit subsidies and making available the revenues from the resale of commodities in the domestic market (net of loan repayment) that could then be used for economic development or other purposes.

The seeds showed no activity in anti-tumour screening tests, but in a different bioassay an extract was active against the larvae of test insects. Five phytoecdysteroids were isolated and identified by spectrometric methods. One of them, 24-epi-makisterone A, has not been reported previously.

N2  - In relation to the mass rearing of fruit flies and other insects of economic importance, a preliminary thermodynamic study of the rearing of the larvae of Diptera on a large scale is described from the USA. Larvae of Musca domestica L. were used to survey temperature profiles and the total, microbial and larval heats of stratified diets with static incubation, and to obtain temperatures and propagate larvae through 2 life-cycles in homogeneous diets with dynamic incubation. Total heat reached a maximum of about 8 kJ/h to 1 kg diet during incubation for 7 days, and microbial heat exceeded larval heat. Dynamic incubation offered better control than static incubation of diet, heat, atmosphere and sanitation.

N2  - The expiration of the US Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 in September 1981 suggests debate regarding the funding and operation of the food stamp program. In the past, proposals for a categorical or block grant approach to food assistance have been considered in congress. This report provides an analysis of changes in benefits and participation under conversion to state administration of a federally funded food stamp program.

N2  - With continued food price inflation, understanding the dynamics of grocery pricing is becoming a policy and research imperative. Retailers buy branded grocery items within the context of extensive standard manufacturer designed promotion programmes. The interactions of buyer conduct and manufacturer promotions will, in the absence of local retail market competition, result in higher average food prices. This finding is consistent with recent structure-performance studies and demonstrates the value of including behavioural analyses in studies of US food system performance.

N2  - Benzyl and cinnamyl derivatives of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and of 1,3-benzodioxoles sterilised mixed sexes of adult Musca domestica L. when fed at concentrations as low as 0.025% in the diet. Several of the compounds are also active against males, the most effective male sterilants being 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]phenol, 5-propoxy-6-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1,3-benzodioxole, and 5-ethoxy-6-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,3-benzodioxole, at concentrations of 0.25, 0.1 and 0.05%, respectively. Benzyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenols were generally inactive. Structure-activity correlations suggest that sterilant activity is due to in vivo oxidation of the compounds to reactive quinone methides. The first sterilant (and other benzylphenols) is only slightly toxic to mice and is non-mutagenic in standard Ames bacterial tests.

N2  - The regulatory approach to safety standards at work, as embodied in the US Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, is but one of five possible approaches to the goal of workplace accident reduction. The others include: (1) the competitive market approach (i.e. set wage differentials to compensate workers for levels of risk), (2) the judicial process to assign fault and award compensation, (3) allocation of risk and compensatory payments through the insurance industry, (4) the use of educational and informational institutions to distribute results of safety research to workers, employers and the self-employed. The paper (a) provides an overview of workplace accident causal factors; (b) defines the nature of each policy alternative and its impact on the level of workplace safety; (c) describes the application of each policy to the agricultural sector; (d) identifies the research required to determine the cost and effectiveness of the alternatives.

With concentrations of up to 1000 times their odor thresholds, both butyric and isobutyric acids probably contribute most of the offensive odors of the fields. Experiments with an aqueous potato slurry showed that the same compounds were formed in anaerobic model systems in the laboratory. The formation of these compounds was reduced more than 1000-fold in model systems by using aerobic conditions.

N2  - A procedure is described which merges the output of a transportation model and a budget analysis. This combination provides rural policy-makers with capital and operating costs and quality of service data for alternative location of emergency medical services. The procedure is illustrated by analyzing an ambulance service problem faced by policy-makers in Latimer County, Oklahoma. A special emergency medical service district has been formed along county lines, and an advisory board must determine operating policies and procedures for the countywide ambulance system. The procedure provides policymakers with information pertaining to optimum locations of a number of ambulance facilities under alternative objective functions, as well as indicators of quality of service (response time) and costs of operation for each location. Results from the procedure can assist policy-makers in their final decision, as the data allow them to compare costs and quality of service for various locations.

N2  - Government commodity donations to schools are now adjusted using the consumer price index. In this study, wholesale price indexes were developed which could adjust the "reimbursement rate" to more accurately reflect changes in the value of commodities distributed. This would better achieve the objective of maintaining benefit value over time.

N2  - A framework to analyze the delivery of emergency medical care in northern California is proposed. Using a branch and bound algorithm, the most efficient (least-cost) size, number, and location of emergency medical facilities is found subject to a given level of demand and a measure of effectiveness (response time). The current spatial pattern of emergency medical service (EMS) facilities is compared with the most efficient spatial pattern. Due to the sparse distribution of the study area population, some individual EMS facilities are not economically viable given the current revenue structure. Funding alternatives for EMS, including volunteer service, are discussed.

It also discusses food aid and farm productivity in the developing nations, particularly irrigated farming in Egypt, India and Saudi Arabia. It is concluded that irrigation and good water management are very important in developing countries' agriculture, and that each country's concerns must be viewed in a broader world context.

N2  - This is a report on 3 seminars sponsored by the US Economics, Statistics and Co-operatives Service. The first dealt with the emerging concern for human nutrition and world hunger and discussed contemporary issues in food policy. The second dealt with public assistance programmes and food purchasing; the relationship between food programmes and nutritional intake was discussed and it was seen that although some nutritional improvements had been made, nutrition education was needed. The equitable distribution of food aid was the subject of the third seminar: differences in the cost of living and the rules allowing for various deductions from earned income were 2 of the major reasons given for inequitable distribution of aid.

N2  - On steep road fills constructed with granitic soil materials in the Idaho Batholith, erosion on bare control plots averaged 3.4 metric tons/km2 per day for water years 1970 through 1972. Erosion was reduced an average of 44% and 95% by tree planting and straw mulching, respectively. Daily erosion rates were consistently higher during summer periods than during snow-free winter periods, presumably because of greater rainfall energy during the summer. Dry creep accounted for at least 15% of the total annual erosion for the years sampled and was as high as 40% in 1971. The erodibility index was a poor predictor of erosion for rain periods. Observations in the area suggest that wind was an important erosion factor on the steep slope studied. The median particle size of eroded materials tended to decrease throughout the summer and fall until mid-October when it abruptly increased. Soil crusting during the summer and soil freezing and thawing in the fall may have caused these seasonal trends.

N2  - Twelve clones of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) that were spray irrigated with municipal sewage effluent had a mean of 0.03 larva per clone of cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus L.) on 7 June 1974; similar unirrigated clones had a mean of 3.2 larvae per clone on that date. Also, the irrigated clones had fewer culms killed by the frit fly (Oscinella frit L.) than unirrigated clones on 7 June and 12 Aug. 1974. Therefore, reed canarygrass as a receptor of sewage effluent, already the most acceptable species because of its flood tolerance, is even more desirable because there should be fewer numbers of these two important pests.

N2  - Secondary sewage effluent and renovated water from four wells at the Flushing Meadows Wastewater Renovation project near Phoenix, Arizona, in operation since 1967, were assayed approximately every 2 months in 1974 for viruses during flooding periods. Viruses, regularly found in the secondary effluent, were not detected in any renovated water samples. Human viral pathogens do not move through soil into the groundwater, but are apparently absorbed and degraded by the soil and reduced in numbers by a factor of at least 104 (99.99 percent removal).

N2  - Over the past two years there has been much contradictory reporting of the world food situation. In such a situation it is essential for those responsible for public policy to discover what competent researchers agree on. Recent publicly sponsored research studies (FAO, USDA, US President's Science Advisory Commission, Iowa State University, University of California etc.) are reviewed and in their light the world food situation is assessed in the current crop year, in the next decade or so, and in the long-term into the twenty-first century. Some improvement in the situation is seen since the World Food Conference and grounds for cautious optimism in that per caput food production in the poor countries is likely to increase a little and population growth rates are slowing down. The paper also deals with some policy myths, argues that the USA has excellent food policies addressed to the world food situation and suggests some areas where action is needed.

AB  - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and subsequent antiretroviral therapy have been associated with an increased incidence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease and has been shown to suppress cholesterol efflux from virus-infected macrophages by inducing Nef-dependent down-regulation of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter Al (ABCA1). Here, the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaque model was used to examine the consequences and mechanisms involved, SIV infection drove a significant remodeling of high-density lipoprotein profiles, suggesting that systemic inhibition of the ABCA1- dependent reverse cholesterol transport pathway occurred. The ABCA1 cholesterol transporter was significantly down-regulated in the livers of the SIV-infected macaques, and the viral protein Nef could be detected in the livers as well as in the plasma of infected animals. Extracellular myristoylated HIV Nef inhibited cholesterol efflux from macrophages and hepatocytes. Moreover, serum samples from SIV-infected macaques also suppressed cholesterol efflux in a Nef-dependent fashion. These results indicate that SIV infection is a significant contributor to primary dyslipidemia, likely through the ability of Nef to suppress ABCA1-dependent reverse cholesterol transport.

AB  - Under physiological conditions the gut-associated lymphoid tissues not only prevent the induction of a local inflammatory immune response, but also induce systemic tolerance to fed antigens. A notable exception is coeliac disease, where genetically susceptible individuals expressing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules develop inflammatory T-cell and antibody responses against dietary gluten, a protein present in wheat. The mechanisms underlying this dysregulated mucosal immune response to a soluble antigen have not been identified. Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A, has been shown to have a critical role in the induction of intestinal regulatory responses. Here we find in mice that in conjunction with IL-15, a cytokine greatly upregulated in the gut of coeliac disease patients, retinoic acid rapidly activates dendritic cells to induce JNK (also known as MAPK8) phosphorylation and release the proinflammatory cytokines IL-12p70 and IL-23. As a result, in a stressed intestinal environment, retinoic acid acted as an adjuvant that promoted rather than prevented inflammatory cellular and humoral responses to fed antigen. Altogether, these findings reveal an unexpected role for retinoic acid and IL-15 in the abrogation of tolerance to dietary antigens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Remarkable progress in optical microscopy has been made in the measurement of nanometre distances. If diffraction blurs the image of a point object into an Airy disk with a root-mean-squared (r.m.s.) size of s =  0.44λ/2NA (∼90 nm for light with a wavelength of λ = 600 nm and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of NA = 1.49), limiting the resolution of the far-field microscope in use to d = 2.4s ≈ 200 nm, additional knowledge about the specimen can be used to great advantage. For example, if the source is known to be two spatially resolved fluorescent molecules, the distance between them is given by the separation of the centres of the two fluorescence images. In high-resolution microwave and optical spectroscopy, there are numerous examples where the line centre is determined with a precision of less than 10−6 of the linewidth. In contrast, in biological applications the brightest single fluorescent emitters can be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼100, limiting the centroid localization precision to sloc ≥ 1% (≥1 nm) of the r.m.s. size, s, of the microscope point spread function (PSF). Moreover, the error in co-localizing two or more single emitters is notably worse, remaining greater than 5–10% (5–10 nm) of the PSF size. Here we report a distance resolution of sreg = 0.50 nm (1σ) and an absolute accuracy of sdistance = 0.77 nm (1σ) in a measurement of the separation between differently coloured fluorescent molecules using conventional far-field fluorescence imaging in physiological buffer conditions. The statistical uncertainty in the mean for an ensemble of identical single-molecule samples is limited only by the total number of collected photons, to sloc ≈ 0.3 nm, which is ∼3 × 10−3 times the size of the optical PSF. Our method may also be used to improve the resolution of many subwavelength, far-field imaging methods such as those based on co-localization of molecules that are stochastically switched on in space. The improved resolution will allow the structure of large, multisubunit biological complexes in biologically relevant environments to be deciphered at the single-molecule level.

AB  - CD4+ T helper 2 (TH2) cells secrete interleukin (IL)4, IL5 and IL13, and are required for immunity to gastrointestinal helminth infections. However, TH2 cells also promote chronic inflammation associated with asthma and allergic disorders. The non-haematopoietic-cell-derived cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IL33 and IL25 (also known as IL17E) have been implicated in inducing TH2 cell-dependent inflammation at mucosal sites, but how these cytokines influence innate immune responses remains poorly defined. Here we show that IL25, a member of the IL17 cytokine family, promotes the accumulation of a lineage-negative (Lin-) multipotent progenitor (MPP) cell population in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue that promotes TH2 cytokine responses. The IL25-elicited cell population, termed MPPtype2 cells, was defined by the expression of Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a) and intermediate expression of c-Kit (c-Kitint), and exhibited multipotent capacity, giving rise to cells of monocyte/macrophage and granulocyte lineages both in vitro and in vivo. Progeny of MPPtype2 cells were competent antigen presenting cells, and adoptive transfer of MPPtype2 cells could promote TH2 cytokine responses and confer protective immunity to helminth infection in normally susceptible Il25-/- mice. The ability of IL25 to induce the emergence of an MPPtype2 cell population identifies a link between the IL17 cytokine family and extramedullary haematopoiesis, and suggests a previously unrecognized innate immune pathway that promotes TH2 cytokine responses at mucosal sites.

AB  - Sequence polymorphisms in a 58-kilobase (kb) interval on chromosome 9p21 confer a markedly increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. The variants have a substantial effect on the epidemiology of CAD and other life-threatening vascular conditions because nearly one-quarter of Caucasians are homozygous for risk alleles. However, the risk interval is devoid of protein-coding genes and the mechanism linking the region to CAD risk has remained enigmatic. Here we show that deletion of the orthologous 70-kb non-coding interval on mouse chromosome 4 affects cardiac expression of neighbouring genes, as well as proliferation properties of vascular cells. Chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice are viable, but show increased mortality both during development and as adults. Cardiac expression of two genes near the non-coding interval, Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b, is severely reduced in chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb mice, indicating that distant-acting gene regulatory functions are located in the non-coding CAD risk interval. Allele-specific expression of Cdkn2b transcripts in heterozygous mice showed that the deletion affects expression through a cis-acting mechanism. Primary cultures of chr4Δ70kb/Δ70kb aortic smooth muscle cells exhibited excessive proliferation and diminished senescence, a cellular phenotype consistent with accelerated CAD pathogenesis. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that the CAD risk interval has a pivotal role in regulation of cardiac Cdkn2a/b expression, and suggest that this region affects CAD progression by altering the dynamics of vascular cell proliferation.

AB  - One of the central predictions of metric theories of gravity, such as general relativity, is that a clock in a gravitational potential U will run more slowly by a factor of 1 + U/c2, where c is the velocity of light, as compared to a similar clock outside the potential. This effect, known as gravitational redshift, is important to the operation of the global positioning system, timekeeping and future experiments with ultra-precise, space-based clocks (such as searches for variations in fundamental constants). The gravitational redshift has been measured using clocks on a tower, an aircraft and a rocket, currently reaching an accuracy of 7 × 10-5. Here we show that laboratory experiments based on quantum interference of atoms enable a much more precise measurement, yielding an accuracy of 7 × 10-9. Our result supports the view that gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, an underlying principle of general relativity that has come under scrutiny in connection with the search for a theory of quantum gravity. Improving the redshift measurement is particularly important because this test has been the least accurate among the experiments that are required to support curved space-time theories.

AB  - Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus are potent carcinogens that contaminate agricultural crops. Recent efforts to reduce aflatoxin concentrations in crops have focused on biological control using nonaflatoxigenic A. flavus strains AF36 (=NRRL 18543) and NRRL 21882 (the active component of afla-guard®). However, the evolutionary potential of these strains to remain nonaflatoxigenic in nature is unknown. To elucidate the underlying population processes that influence aflatoxigenicity, we examined patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) spanning 21 regions in the aflatoxin gene cluster of A. flavus. We show that recombination events are unevenly distributed across the cluster in A. flavus. Six distinct LD blocks separate late pathway genes aflE, aflM, aflN, aflG, aflL, aflI and aflO, and there is no discernable evidence of recombination among early pathway genes aflA, aflB, aflC, aflD, aflR and aflS. The discordance in phylogenies inferred for the aflW/aflX intergenic region and two noncluster regions, tryptophan synthase and acetamidase, is indicative of trans-species evolution in the cluster. Additionally, polymorphisms in aflW/aflX divide A. flavus strains into two distinct clades, each harbouring only one of the two approved biocontrol strains. The clade with AF36 includes both aflatoxigenic and nonaflatoxigenic strains, whereas the clade with NRRL 21882 comprises only nonaflatoxigenic strains and includes all strains of A. flavus missing the entire gene cluster or with partial gene clusters. Our detection of LD blocks in partial clusters indicates that recombination may have played an important role in cluster disassembly, and multilocus coalescent analyses of cluster and noncluster regions indicate lineage-specific gene loss in A. flavus. These results have important implications in assessing the stability of biocontrol strains in nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background. In a robust and consistent manner, sustained caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to retard the aging process in a variety of animal species. Nonhuman primate studies suggest that CR may have similar effects in longer-lived species. The CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of the Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) research program is the first systematic investigation of CR in nonobese human beings. In the phase 2 study, it is hypothesized that 2 years of sustained CR, involving a 25% reduction of ad libitum energy intake, results in beneficial effects similar to those observed in animal studies. This article presents the design and implementation of this study. Methods. The study is a multicenter, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A sample of 225 participants (22.0 ≤ body mass index [BMI] < 28.0 kg/m2) is being enrolled with 2:1 allocation to CR. Results. An intensive dietary and behavioral intervention was developed to achieve 25% CR and sustain it over the 2 years. Adherence is monitored using a doubly labeled water technique. Primary outcomes are resting metabolic rate and core temperature, and are assessed at baseline and at 6-month intervals. Secondary outcomes address oxyradical formation, cardiovascular risk markers, insulin sensitivity and secretion, immune function, neuroendocrine function, quality of life and cognitive function. Biologic materials are stored in a central repository. Conclusions. An intricate protocol has been developed to conduct this study. Procedures have been implemented to safeguard the integrity of the data and the conclusions drawn. The results will provide insight into the detrimental changes associated with the human aging process and how CR mitigates these effects. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - About 60% of adults in the United States do not consume the estimated average requirement for magnesium, but widespread pathological conditions attributed to magnesium deficiency have not been reported. Nevertheless, low magnesium status has been associated with numerous pathological conditions characterized as having a chronic inflammatory stress component. In humans, deficient magnesium intakes are mostly marginal to moderate (approximately 50% to <100% of the recommended dietary allowance). Animal experiments indicate that signs of marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency can be compensated or exacerbated by other factors influencing inflammatory and oxidative stress; recent studies suggest a similar happening in humans. This suggestion may have significance in obesity, which is characterized as having a chronic low-grade inflammation component and an increased incidence of a low magnesium status. Marginal-to-moderate magnesium deficiency through exacerbating chronic inflammatory stress may be contributing significantly to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.

AB  - The study of maize breeding methods in Kenya was initiated in 1964. A minimum of ten years of selection was completed in each experiment. Following selection, there were three years of evaluation. Intrapopulation improvement was conducted comparing the following methods: mass selection (with variants of selection intensity and plant density); modified ear-to-row selection; S1 selection; half-sib selection; and full-sib selection. Conclusions of these trials point out that ear-to-row or full-sib selection with 100 entries in the selection trials would be the recommended intrapopulation improvement method. Care must be taken to reduce the frequency of bare tips that occurs with improved yielding ability. If half-sib selection is used, the choice of the tester is critical to the utility of the selected population. The tester selected should have good combining ability with the population under selection, as the test cross is what will be most improved. Half-sib selection should be targeted more at specific combining ability than at general combining ability. Reciprocal recurrent selection is clearly the method of choice if heterosis exists between the pooulations to be improved. If hybrid production capability is lacking, the F2 of the improved cross will suffice for an improved farmer variety until that capability is developed

AB  - NATCHA Abstract: Elevated carbon dioxide throughout the lifespan of soybean causes an increase in photosynthesis, biomass, and seed yield. A rectangular hyperbola model predicts a 32% increase in soybean seed yield with a doubling of carbon dioxide from 315 to 630 ppm and shows that yields may have increased by 13% from about 1800 A.D. to the present due to global carbon dioxide increases. Several other sets of data indicate that photosynthetic and growth response to rising carbon dioxide of many species, including woody plants, is similar to that of soybean. Calculations suggest that enough carbon could be sequestered annually from increased photosynthesis and biomass production due to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide from 315 ppm in 1958 to about 345 ppm in 1986 to reduce the impact of deforestation in the tropics on the putative current flux of carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere

AB  - Reviews the book, A guide to public opinion polls by George Gallup (1944). Since the 1936 election, in which the Gallup poll dramatically demonstrated the superiority of systematic sampling over the more hit-or-miss straw vote, public opinion polls have come to be accepted as standard equipment for national elections. Along with this development has come a rapid expansion of research on attitudes toward public issues, proposed legislation, and the operation of going governmental programs. Gallup's recent book is designed to inform the public about this new field. It describes briefly, in question and answer form, the organizations engaged in this research, their methods, and the place of opinion polling in modern political life. Popularization of a technical subject-matter such as this is not easy. The material must be presented in an interesting manner; complicated discussions and scholarly references must be minimized. On each count Gallup succeeds admirably. The book's chief short-comings derive from an inadequate treatment of methods differing from Gallup's own.

AB  - The social parasite ant Solenopsis daguerrei infests colonies of several mound-building fire ant species. Twenty-four microsatellite markers were isolated from a repeat-enriched genomic library of S. daguerrei. Eleven loci were polymorphic in this ant with two to six alleles per locus. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.0222 to 0.7940 among loci. Most microsatellites amplified successfully across the 11 Solenopsis species tested and will be useful for evolutionary genetic studies in this diverse ant group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Thirty-two individuals representing coastal and inland populations of steelhead and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) were sequenced at 18 expressed sequence tags and nine microsatellite loci to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms. A total of 98 polymorphisms were discovered during the screen and 22 were developed into 5′ exonuclease assays (Taqman assays). Genotypes from TaqMan assays were compared to sequence data from individuals in the ascertainment panel to confirm proper allele designations. A larger number of samples ( n = 192) from six regions were tested with the validated assays. Per-locus FST values ranged from 0.001 to 0.414. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We describe the isolation and characterization of 31 polymorphic di- and trinucleotide microsatellite marker loci for Carolina hemlock ( Tsuga caroliniana Englem.). In addition, primer pairs for 16 loci amplified scoreable alleles in six other Tsuga species. In eastern North America, both Carolina hemlock and eastern hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis [L.] Carr.) populations are declining due to infestation by hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae. The markers described here should enhance population genetic studies of hemlocks, providing valuable information for conserving and restoring these important forest tree species.

AB  - We report the development of 37 novel and polymorphic microsatellite markers for oat crown rust, Puccinia coronata f.sp. avenae. The allelic diversity ranged from two to 16 alleles per locus. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.971, and expected heterozygosity from 0.057 to 0.848. Thirteen of the loci were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, due to either the presence of null alleles, small sample size, or the effects of population subdivision (Wahlund's effect). All 37 primer pairs were tested with P. graminis and P. triticina showing that they are specific to P. coronata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In contrast to protein-coding sequences, the significance of variation in non-coding DNA in human disease has been minimally explored. A great number of recent genome-wide association studies suggest that non-coding variation is a significant risk factor for common disorders, but the mechanisms by which this variation contributes to disease remain largely obscure. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers — a major category of functional non-coding DNA — are involved in many developmental and disease-relevant processes. Genome-wide approaches to their discovery and functional characterization are now available and provide a growing knowledge base for the systematic exploration of their role in human biology and disease susceptibility.

AB  - A major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers are particularly challenging to uncover because they are scattered among the vast non-coding portion of the genome. Evolutionary sequence constraint can facilitate the discovery of enhancers, but fails to predict when and where they are active in vivo. Here we present the results of chromatin immunoprecipitation with the enhancer-associated protein p300 followed by massively parallel sequencing, and map several thousand in vivo binding sites of p300 in mouse embryonic forebrain, midbrain and limb tissue. We tested 86 of these sequences in a transgenic mouse assay, which in nearly all cases demonstrated reproducible enhancer activity in the tissues that were predicted by p300 binding. Our results indicate that in vivo mapping of p300 binding is a highly accurate means for identifying enhancers and their associated activities, and suggest that such data sets will be useful to study the role of tissue-specific enhancers in human biology and disease on a genome-wide scale.

AB  - Background. It is assumed that moderate exercise may improve resistance to infection and reduce inflammation, but there are limited data to support this assumption in an infection model. Methods. BALB/cJ mice were assigned to the following groups: no exercise (NON-EX), 1 session of acute exercise (A-EX), or chronic exercise for ~3.5 months (C-EX). Mice were infected with influenza (C-EX mice infected at rest; A-EX mice infected 15 min after exercise). Results. C-EX mice demonstrated the lowest severity of infection, assessed by body weight loss and food intake. There was less virus in the lungs at day 5 after infection in C-EX and A-EX mice compared with NON-EX mice (P = .02 ) and less virus at day 2 after infection only in C-EX mice (P = .07). Soon after infection (day 2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1β, and tumor necrosis factor α in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were lower in C-EX and A-EX than in NONEX mice. At day 5 after infection, the BAL fluid from C-EX (but not A-EX) mice had less IL-6, interleukin 12p40, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, keratinococyte-derived chemokine, and MCP-1 than that from NON-EX mice. A trend toward reduced immunopathologic response was found in C-EX mice. Conclusions. Chronic exercise resulted in reduced symptoms, virus load, and levels of inflammatory cytokine and chemokines. Acute exercise also showed some benefit, which was limited to the early phase of infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The freshwater cnidarian Hydra was first described in 1702 and has been the object of study for 300 years. Experimental studies of Hydra between 1736 and 1744 culminated in the discovery of asexual reproduction of an animal by budding, the first description of regeneration in an animal, and successful transplantation of tissue between animals. Today, Hydra is an important model for studies of axial patterning, stem cell biology and regeneration. Here we report the genome of Hydra magnipapillata and compare it to the genomes of the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis and other animals. The Hydra genome has been shaped by bursts of transposable element expansion, horizontal gene transfer, trans-splicing, and simplification of gene structure and gene content that parallel simplification of the Hydra life cycle. We also report the sequence of the genome of a novel bacterium stably associated with H. magnipapillata. Comparisons of the Hydra genome to the genomes of other animals shed light on the evolution of epithelia, contractile tissues, developmentally regulated transcription factors, the Spemann–Mangold organizer, pluripotency genes and the neuromuscular junction.

AB  - We compared the levels and distribution of genetic diversity in Eurasian and North American populations of Brachypodium sylvaticum (Huds.) Beauv. (false brome), a newly invasive perennial bunchgrass in western North America. Our goals were to identify source regions for invasive populations, determine the number of independent invasion events, and assess the possibility that postinvasion bottlenecks and hybridization have affected patterns of genetic diversity in the invaded range. We tested the hypothesis that this Eurasian grass was accidentally introduced into two areas in Oregon and one site in California by examining nuclear microsatellites and chloroplast haplotype variation in 23 introduced and 25 native populations. In the invaded range, there was significantly lower allelic richness ( RS), observed heterozygosity ( HO) and within-population gene diversity ( HS), although a formal test failed to detect a significant genetic bottleneck. Most of the genetic variation existed among populations in the native range but within populations in the invaded range. All of the allelic variation in the invaded range could be explained based on alleles found in western European populations. The distribution of identified genetic clusters in the North American populations and the unique alleles associated with them is consistent with two historical introductions in Oregon and a separate introduction to California. Further analyses of population structure indicate that intraspecific hybridization among genotypes from geographically distinct regions of western Europe occurred following colonization in Oregon. The California populations, however, are more likely to be derived from one or perhaps several genetically similar regions in the native range. The emergence and spread of novel recombinant genotypes may be facilitating the rapid spread of this invasive species in Oregon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - OBJECTIVE. The objectives of this study were to (1) compare the cost of medical evaluation for children with functional abdominal pain or irritable bowel syndrome brought to a pediatric gastroenterologist versus children who remained in the care of their pediatrician, (2) compare symptom characteristics for the children in primary versus tertiary care, and (3) examine if symptom characteristics predicted the cost of medical evaluation. METHODS. Eighty-nine children aged 7 to 10 years with functional abdominal pain or irritable bowel. syndrome seen by a gastroenterologist (n = 46) or seen only by a pediatrician (n = 43) completed daily pain and stool diaries for 2 weeks. Mothers provided retrospective reports of their children's symptoms in the previous year. Cost of medical evaluation was calculated via chart review of diagnostic tests and application of prices as if the patients were self-pay. RESULTS. Child-reported diary data reflected' no significant group differences with respect to pain, interference with activities, or stool characteristics. In contrast, mothers of children evaluated by a gastroenterologist viewed their children as having higher maximum pain intensity in the previous year. Excluding endoscopy costs, cost of medical evaluation was fivefold higher for children evaluated by a gastroenterologist, with higher cost across blood work, stool studies, breath testing, and diagnostic imaging. Symptom characteristics did not predict cost of care for either group. CONCLUSIONS. Despite the lack of difference in symptom characteristics between children in primary and, tertiary care, a notable differential in cost of evaluation exists in accordance with level of care. Symptom characteristics do not seem to drive diagnostic evaluation in either primary or tertiary care. Given the lack of differences in child-reported' symptoms and the maternal perspective that children evaluated by a gastroenterologist had more severe pain, we speculate. that parent perception of child symptoms may be a primary factor in seeking tertiary care.

AB  - The effects of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) on breast-feeding behavior have been sometimes found inadequate. The determinants of breast-feeding initiation and duration among WIC participants and nonparticipants were modeled by using retrospective cross-sectional data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant health Survey. This study corrects for self-selection bias as far as the data allow, in addition to controlling for parents' ages, education, race, and family income. Findings suggest that prenatal WIC participation, combined with breast-feeding advice significantly increases the initiation of breast-feeding advice given prenatally at WIC clinics is unclear and warrants further research.

AB  - Glutamate is a main constituent of dietary protein and is also consumed in many prepared foods as an additive in the form of monosodium glutamate. Evidence from human and animal studies indicates that glutamate is a major oxidative fuel for the gut and that dietary glutamate is extensively metabolized in first pass by the intestine. Glutamate also is an important precursor for bioactive molecules, including glutathione, and functions as a key neurotransmitter. The dominant role of glutamate as an oxidative fuel may have therapeutic potential for improving function of the infant gut, which exhibits a high rate of epithelial cell turnover. Our recent studies in infant pigs show that when glutamate is fed at higher (4-fold) than normal dietary quantities, most glutamate molecules are either oxidized or metabolized by the mucosa into other nonessential amino acids. Glutamate is not considered to be a dietary essential, but recent studies suggest that the level of glutamate in the diet can affect the oxidation of some essential amino acids, namely leucine. Given that substantial oxidation of leucine occurs in the gut, ongoing studies are investigating whether dietary glutamate affects the oxidation of leucine in the intestinal epithelial cells. Our studies also suggest that at high dietary intakes, free glutamate may be absorbed by the stomach as well as the small intestine, thus implicating the gastric mucosa in the metabolism of dietary glutamate. Glutamate is a key excitatory amino acid, and metabolism and neural sensing of dietary glutamate in the developing gastric mucosa, which is poorly developed in premature infants, may play a functional role in gastric emptying. These and other recent reports raise the question as to the metabolic role of glutamate in gastric function. The physiologic significance of glutamate as an oxidative fuel and its potential role in gastric function during infancy are discussed. © 2009 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Aging results in the development of cognitive and motor deficits in humans and animals that are evident by midlife. These deficits are thought to stem from neuronal damage and dysfunction as a result of a variety of stressors, including increased oxidative stress and modifications in brain lipid composition. Recent clinical and animal studies have identified nutritional intervention as a viable method to curtail the cognitive aging process. Human studies have been primarily observational and have indicated that inclusion of antioxidant-rich foods in the diet can slow the progression of cognitive decline. Basic science studies investigating nutritional modulation of age-related cognitive decline have focused on foods rich in antioxidants or essential fatty acids. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent advancements in animal research showing that age-related cognitive and behavioral decline can be ameliorated with nutritional supplementation with polyphenol- or polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich plant foods.

AB  - Phylloquinone, the primary dietary form of vitamin K, is converted to menaquinone-4 (MK-4) in certain tissues. MK-4 may have tissue-specific roles independent of those traditionally identified with vitamin K. Fischer 344 male rats of different ages (2, 12, and 24 mo, n = 20 per age group) were used to compare the conversion of phylloquinone to MK-4 with an equivalent dose of another dietary form of vitamin K, 2′ ,3′-dihydrophylloquinone. Rats were age- and diet-group pair-fed phylloquinone (198 ± 9.0 µg/kg diet) or dihydrophylloquinone 1172 ± 13.0 µg/kg diet) for 28 d. MK-4 was the primary form of vitamin K in serum, spleen, kidney, testes, bone marrow, and brain myelin fractions, regardless of age group, MK-4 concentrations were significantly lower in kidney, heart, testes, cortex (myelin), and striatum (myelin) in the dihydrophylloquinone diet group compared with the phylloquinone diet group (P< 0.05). The MK-4 concentrations in 2-mo-old rats were lower in liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and cortex (myelin) but higher in testes compared with 24-mo-old rats (P< 0.05). However, there were no age-specific differences in MK-4 concentrations among the rats fed the 2 diets. These data suggest that dihydrophylloquinone, which differs from phylloquinone in its side phytyl chain, is absorbed but its intake results in less MK-4 in certain tissues. Dihydrophylloquinone may be used in models for the study of tissue-specific vitamin K deficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A set of DNA markers was developed that successfully identifies Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki ( Btk) when screened against other Bacillus species and subspecies. These subspecies-specific primer sets allowed detection and characterization of Btk within an environmental background that contained many Bacillus species. Because Btk is used as an active ingredient in many commercial formulations, yet is not naturally widely distributed in North America or Europe, these markers will prove useful in investigations on the environmental persistence and ecological fate of Btk.

AB  - Environmental isolates of the fungus Rhizopus have been shown to harbor a bacterial endosymbiont (Burkholderia) that produces rhixozin, a plant mycotoxin. We sought to define the role of rhizoxin production by endosymbionts in the pathogenesis of mucormycosis. Endosymbiotic bacteria were identified by polymerase chain reaction in 15 (54%) of 28 clinical isolates of Zygomycetes, with 33% of the bacterial strains showing⩾87% identity to Burkholderia 16S rDNA. The presence of rhizoxin in myclial extracts from fungi harboring bacteria was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. However, fungal strains with or without endosymbionts did not differ in their ability to cause endothelial cell injury in vitro, nor did antibiotic-mediated eradication of endosymbionts and rhizoxin production decrease the virulence of fungal strains in mice or flies. In summary, although bacterial endosymbiosis is widely detected in clinical isolates of Zygomycetes, including Rhizopus oryzae strains, we found no evidence that bacterial endosymbionts and rhizoxin contribute to the pathogenesis of mucormycosis in the models studied.

AB  - The relative activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in different tissues controls the partitioning of lipoprotein-derived fatty acids between sites of fat storage (adipose tissue) and oxidation (heart and skeletal muscle). Here we used a reverse genetic strategy to test the hypothesis that 4 angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL3, -4, -5, and -6) play key roles in triglyceride (TG) metabolism in humans. We re-sequenced the coding regions of the genes encoding these proteins and identified multiple rare nonsynonymous (NS) sequence variations that were associated with low plasma TG levels but not with other metabolic phenotypes. Functional studies revealed that all mutant alleles of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 that were associated with low plasma TG levels interfered either with the synthesis or secretion of the protein or with the ability of the ANGPTL protein to inhibit LPL. A total of 1% of the Dallas Heart Study population and 4% of those participants with a plasma TG in the lowest quartile had a rare loss-of-function mutation in ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, or ANGPTL5. Thus, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL5, but not ANGPTL6, play nonredundant roles in TG metabolism, and multiple alleles at these loci cumulatively contribute to variability in plasma TG levels in humans.

AB  - Evidence from numerous laboratories using a variety of experimental models, including humans, shows that boron is a bioactive beneficial element. Much evidence has come from studies that did not require nutritional or environmental stressors or fastidious methods in diet preparation or environmental control. The evidence includes deprivation studies showing that boron is necessary for some higher animals to complete the life cycle, and that realistic low boron intakes result in impaired bone health, brain function, and immune response. Thus, low boron intake is a relevant nutritional concern, which diets rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pulses can prevent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The physiological function and putative health roles of vitamin K-dependent proteins now extend beyond their classical role in hemostasis and include bone mineralization, arterial calcification, apoptosis, phagocytosis, growth control, chemotaxis, and signal transduction. Current assessments of vitamin K status do not reflect the variety of molecular forms of vitamin K. We assessed whether urinary excretion of 2-methyl-3-(5′-carboxy-3′-methyl-2′-pentenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (7C- aglycone) and 2-methyl-3-(3′-3′-carboxymethylpropyll-1,4-naphthoquinone (5C-aglycone), vitamin K metabolites common to both phylloquinone and the menaquinone series, reflect dietary vitamin K intake. In a randomized crossover study, 9 adults resided in a metabolic unit for two 30-d periods separated by a free-living period of ≥4 wk. During each residency, subjects consumed 3 sequential diets: a control diet (93 μg phylloquinone/d) for 5 d, a phylloquinone-restricted diet (11 μg/d) for 15 d, followed by a randomly assigned repletion diet for 10 d with either phylloquinone (206 μg/d) or dihydrophylloquinone (240 μg/dl. During the second residency, the alternative repletion diet was assigned. Urinary excretion of the 5C- and 7C-aglycones was measured in sequential 24-h collections. The 5C-aglycone accounted for ∼75% of total excretion and declined in response to phylloquinone restriction (P = 0.001) to ∼30% of that during the control diet period. Repletion with phylloquinone and dihydrophylloquinone doubled the excretion rate of the major 5C-aglycone by 24 h (P< 0.001), and tripled excretion by 4 d. There was a linear relationship between the logarithm of total urinary excretion and dietary vitamin K intake (r = 0.699, P< 0.001). We conclude that the urinary excretion of vitamin K metabolites reflects dietary phylloquinone intake and offers the first candidate marker of global vitamin K status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the association between folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, and cognitive function in the elderly. Our search was conducted in Medline for English-language publications of human subjects from 1966 through November 2006; we supplemented these results with information from article reviews and domain experts. We included longitudinal cohort and case-control studies of B vitamins and analyses of cognitive tests or Alzheimer's disease. We evaluated the quality and heterogeneity of study outcomes and assessed 30 different cognitive function tests. Of 24 studies that met eligibility criteria, 16 were determined to be of fair quality. A majority of the studies reviewed 2 or more B vitamins. Considerable heterogeneity was found among B-vitamin-level thresholds, comparisons, and data analyses. Six of 10 folate studies reported a significant association between low baseline blood folate concentrations and subsequent poor test performance in the global cognitive domain, and 4 of 9 folate studies found associations between low blood folate concentrations and increased prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. Studies did not reveal an association of vitamin B-6 and vitamin B-12 blood concentrations with cognitive-test performance or Alzheimer's disease, nor was B-vitamin dietary intake associated with cognitive function. Higher plasma homocysteine concentrations were associated with poorer cognitive function. Although the majority of studies indicated that low blood folate concentrations predicted poorer cognitive function, data supporting this association were limited because of the heterogeneity in cognition-assessment methodology, and scarcity of good quality studies and standardized threshold levels for categorizing low B-vitamin status.

AB  - Ulmus pumila is an elm species, non-native to the USA that hybridizes with Ulmus rubra. In order to study the genetic structure and hybridization patterns between these two elm species, we developed 15 primer pairs for microsatellite loci in U. rubra and tested their cross-amplification in U. pumila. All 15 primers amplified in both species, 11 of which possessed species-specific alleles. Eight loci were polymorphic in U. pumila and eight in U. rubra, each with two to eight alleles per locus. In addition, five primer pairs previously developed in U. laevis and U. carpinifolia (syn. U. minor) cross-amplified and showed polymorphic loci in U. pumila and/or U. rubra. These markers will facilitate the study of genetic structure and gene flow between U. rubra and exotic, invasive U. pumila. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Background:  Schools are in a unique position to promote healthy dietary behaviors and help ensure appropriate nutrient intake. This article describes the characteristics of both school nutrition services and the foods and beverages sold outside of the school meals program in the United States, including state- and district-level policies and school practices. Methods:  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts the School Health Policies and Programs Study every 6 years. In 2006, computer-assisted telephone interviews or self-administered mail questionnaires were completed by state education agency personnel in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and among a nationally representative sample of school districts (n = 445). Computer-assisted personal interviews were conducted with personnel in a nationally representative sample of elementary, middle, and high schools (n = 944). Results:  Few states required schools to restrict the availability of deep-fried foods, to prohibit the sale of foods that have low nutrient density in certain venues, or to make healthful beverages available when beverages were offered. While many schools sold healthful foods and beverages outside of the school nutrition services program, many also sold items high in fat, sodium, and added sugars. Conclusions:  Nutrition services program practices in many schools continue to need improvement. Districts and schools should implement more food preparation practices that reduce the total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar content of school meals. In addition, opportunities to eat and drink at school should be used to encourage greater daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products.

AB  - The paste viscosity of starches Amioca (∼0.5% amylose), native corn (∼27% amylose), Nylon VII (-.70% amylose), tapioca (-19% amylose), and their whey protein isolate (WPI; 50/50) mixtures at varying solid concentration of 2.5,5, 10, 15 and 20% were determined. At higher gel concentration (20%) during the cooling cycle, WPI paste measured by rapid visco-analyser (RVA) showed a tremendous increase in viscosity over that of the micro visco-amylograph (MVA), 5784 and 184cP, respectively. RVA gels had a more uniform network of coarse particles (∼250-500 nm) than the fine structures (-50 nm) in those of the MVA. Inclusion of WPI reduced the paste viscosity of all starches by at least 50%, except for Hylon VII at 20% solid concentration. The strength of Hylon VII and corn starch gels was reduced by WPI. In contrast, gels of WPI/tapioca (G′ = 45.4 Pa) and WPI/amioca (G′ = 18.3 Pa) had similar rheolog- ical properties as their pure starch control (G′ = 47.4Pa and G′ = 15.3 Pa for Tapioca and Amioca, respectively).

AB  - OBJECTIVE. This study examined the association between participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and adherence to 4 American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on infant feeding. METHODS. We used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort, which is nationally representative of children born in 2001. We estimated regression models to assess relationships between program participation and adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on exclusive breastfeeding and the introduction of infant formula, cow's milk, and solid foods. RESULTS. Regression results indicated that WIC participation was associated with a 5.9-percentage point decrease in the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding for ≥4 months and a 1.9-percentage point decrease in the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding for ≥6 months. Program mothers were 8.5 percentage points less likely than nonparticipants to adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation to delay introduction of infant formula until month 6. Program mothers were 2.5 percentage points more likely than nonparticipants to delay the introduction of cow's milk until month 8. Program participants were 4.5 percentage points less likely than nonparticipants to delay the introduction of solid foods for ≥4 months. However, the difference between participants and nonparticipants disappeared by month 6. CONCLUSIONS. Results suggest that, although program participants are less likely to breastfeed exclusively than eligible nonparticipants, program-provided infant formula is an important option for mothers who do not breastfeed exclusively. The program faces the challenge to encourage breastfeeding without undermining incentives to follow other recommended infant feeding practices. Recent changes proposed to the food packages by the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service are consistent with the goal of increasing adherence to recommended infant feeding practices among participants.

AB  - OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia in extremely low birth-weight infants and to determine whether hyperglycemia increases the risk of early adverse outcomes (death or intraventricular hemorrhage of grade 3 or 4) and/or affects the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage. METHODS. The charts of all extremely low birth-weight infants (n = 93) admitted to Texas Children's Hospital (Houston, TX) during 2001 were reviewed. The highest daily blood glucose concentrations, highest dopamine infusion rates, highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen, and mean blood sodium concentrations were averaged over the first week of life or before death or occurrence of grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage. Among survivors without severe intraventricular hemorrhage, the time ratio for blood glucose concentrations of >150 mg/dL was calculated. RESULTS. More than 50% of the infants had persistent blood glucose concentrations of >150 mg/dL during their first week of life. Early adverse outcomes were associated with the average highest daily blood glucose concentration through interaction with the Clinical Risk Index for Babies score and with the average highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen. The length of hospital stay was associated with the time ratio for blood glucose concentrations of >150 rag/dL through interaction with birth weight and the average highest daily percentage of inspired oxygen. CONCLUSION. These data confirm the high prevalence of hyperglycemia among parenterally fed, extremely low birth-weight infants and show that high blood glucose concentrations increase the risk of early death and grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage and the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage, which suggests that prevention and treatment of hyperglycemia may improve the outcomes of extremely low birth-weight infants.

AB  - Host races play a central part in understanding the role of host plant mediated divergence and speciation of phytophagous insects. Of greatest interest are host-associated populations that have recently diverged; however, finding genetic evidence for very recent divergences is difficult because initially only a few loci are expected to evolve diagnostic differences. The holly leafminer Phytomyza glabricola feeds on two hollies, Ilex glabra and I. coriacea, that are broadly sympatric throughout most of their ranges. The leafminer is often present on both host plants and exhibits a dramatic life history difference on the two hosts, suggesting that host races may be present. We collected 1393 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequence and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data (45 polymorphic bands) from sympatric populations of flies reared from the two hosts. Phylogenetic and frequency analysis of mitochondrial COI sequence data uncovered considerable variation but no structuring by the host plant, and only limited differentiation among geographical locations. In contrast, analysis of AFLP frequency data found a significant effect with host plant, and a much smaller effect with geographical location. Likewise, neighbour-joining analysis of AFLP data resulted in clustering by host plant. The AFLP data indicate that P. glabricola is most likely comprised of two host races. Because there were no fixed differences in mitochondrial or AFLP data, this host-associated divergence is likely to have occurred very recently. P. glabricola therefore provides a new sympatric system for exploring the role of geography and ecological specialization in the speciation of phytophagous insects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The velvet gene, veA, co-ordinates asexual and sexual development in the homothallic fungal species Aspergillus nidulans. Studies in Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus fumigatus demonstrated that veA also regulates morphological differentiation in these species. Whether veA has the same role in morphogenesis in other fungal genera has not been investigated. In this work, we studied the role of the veA homologue, FvVE1, in the heterothallic fungus Fusarium verticillioides. Deletion of FvVE1 suppressed aerial hyphal growth and reduced colony surface hydrophobicity on solid media. In submerged cultures, FvVE1 deletion caused alterations in hyphal polarity, marked activation of conidiation and yeast-like growth. The latter was promoted by shaking to increase aeration of cultures. In addition, FvVE1 deletion markedly increased the ratio of macroconidia to microconidia. Supplementation of osmotic stabilizers restored the wild-type phenotype to deletion mutants, suggesting phenotypic alterations caused by FvVE1 deletion are related to cell wall defects. This is consistent with the hypersensitivity of FvVE1 deletion mutants to SDS and with the significant reduction in the mannoprotein content of mutants compared with the wild-type strain. However, no dramatic cell wall alterations were observed when mutants were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Our data strongly suggest that FvVE1 is important for cell wall integrity, cell surface hydrophobicity, hyphal polarity and conidiation pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Mediterranean diet was first considered to be a low-saturated fat diet that conveyed protection against coronary heart disease by lowering plasma total cholesterol levels. Later, the emphasis shifted away from the low-saturated-fat content of this diet toward its high content of olive oil and its overall constellation of characteristics. Moreover, there is now evidence that the Mediterranean diet benefits not only the risk for coronary heart disease but also cancer occurrence, total mortality, and longevity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article presents the results of a study comparing the performance of different lipid measures for coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction using discrimination and calibration characteristics and reclassification of risk categories to assess incremental utility of apolipoproteins (apo) over traditional lipids for CHD prediction. The study used a large population-based cohort and discovered that the overall performance of apo B and apo A-1 ratio for prediction of CHD was comparable with that of traditional lipid ratios but did not offer incremental utility over low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The data does not support measurement of apo B or apo A-1 in clinical practice when total cholesterol and HDL-C measurements are available.

AB  - This report briefly reviews existing methods for analyzing the vitamin D content of fortified and unfortified foods. The existing chemical methods are similar; all are time consuming, require experienced technicians, and have only been validated for a few materials (eg, dairy products or animal feed materials). This report also describes the lack of standard reference materials with certified values for vitamin D that laboratories need to guarantee the accuracy of existing analytic methods. Recently, the US Department of Agriculture, as part of a project to update the vitamin D values in the National Nutrient Database of Standard Reference, established an analytic methods committee to compare several existing vitamin D methods and to characterize 5 control materials (skim milk, processed cheese, cereal, orange juice, and salmon). Initial relative SDs for the 5 materials ranged from 35% to 50%. Elimination of systematic biases related to the methods and the standards yielded much more satisfactory relative SDs of 7% to 12%. This research has shown that existing methods for analyzing the vitamin D content in foods can produce accurate results. A new, simpler, and faster method, however, would greatly benefit the field. To guarantee accuracy, we need certified reference materials for foods. © 2008 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Scientists need specific data on the amounts of vitamin D in foods and dietary supplements to facilitate the assessment of vitamin D dietary intake. This vitamin is available in foods both naturally and from fortification. The Nutrient Data Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is collaborating with vitamin D experts to review and develop methods for analyzing the vitamin D content of foods and to use these methods to analyze the vitamin D content of certain foods and dietary supplements. In this article, we review existing sources of vitamin D data on foods and dietary supplements, describe the USDA's Dietary Supplements Ingredients Database, and discuss the development of the USDA's vitamin D database for foods. In addition, we define the challenges and needs related to providing updated data on the vitamin D content of foods and supplements. After we analyze the vitamin D content of these food samples, we will disseminate the current values in the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (Internet: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata). © 2008 American Society for Nutrition

AB  - Twenty-four simple sequence repeat markers were developed for Phakopsora pachyrhizi, a fungal pathogen of soybean ( Glycine max) and other legumes. All 24 of the loci were evaluated on 28 isolates of P. pachyrhizi. Twenty-one loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to eight alleles, and null alleles were observed for eight of the 24 loci. A preliminary screen with the closely related species, P. meibomiae, indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. pachyrhizi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article examines data sharing and how the annotation practices it depends on must become part of the fabric of daily research for scientists and investors. According to the authors, changes in the approaches to data handling and processing are a result of the development of high-throughput genomic and postgenomic technologies. They use the example of a biological sample used to generate many kinds of big data in parallel, such as a genome sequence (genomics), in which extensive computer manipulations are required for even basic analyses of such data. They note the increased challenges when two or more studies' outputs must be compared or integrated. Topics include an in-depth discussion of the importance of data sharing, International and U.S. data policies, and funding agencies.

AB  - Iron status and dietary correlates of iron status have not been well described in Hispanic older adults of Caribbean origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate iron status and describe dietary components and correlates of iron status in Hispanic older adults and in a neighborhood-based comparison group of non-Hispanic white older adults. Six hundred four Hispanic and non-Hispanic white adults (59-91 y of age) from the Massachusetts Hispanic Elders Study were included in the analysis. We examined physiological markers of iron status as well as dietary factors in relation to iron status. Dietary intake was assessed by FFQ. Our results revealed that Hispanics had significantly lower geometric mean serum ferritin (74.1 microg/L vs. 100 microg/L; P<0.001), lower hemoglobin concentrations (137+/-13 vs. 140+/-12 g/L; P<0.01), higher prevalence of anemia (11.5 vs. 7.3%; P<0.05), and suboptimal hemoglobin concentrations (<125 g/L) for this age group (21.4 vs. 13.3%; P<0.05). Iron deficiency anemia was higher (7.2% vs. 2.3%; P<0.05) in Hispanic women. Hispanics had lower mean intakes of total iron, vitamin C, supplemental vitamin C, and total calcium than did non-Hispanic whites. After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, alcohol use, smoking, total energy intake, inflammation, diabetes, and liver disease, intake of heme iron from red meat was positively associated and dietary calcium was negatively associated with serum ferritin. This population of Hispanic older adults was significantly more likely than their non-Hispanic white neighbors to suffer from anemia and poor iron status, particularly among women. Cultural variation in dietary patterns may influence iron availability and body iron stores and contribute to an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia among some Hispanic older adults.

AB  - This study was intended to establish the extent which amino acids (AAs) and glucose are net metabolized by the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ruminant sheep when intestinal protein supply is varied. Wether sheep (n = 4, 33 ± 2.0 kg) were fitted with catheters for measurement of net absorption by the mesenteric (MDV) and portal-drained (PDV) viscera and a catheter inserted into the duodenum for casein infusions. Sheep received a fixed amount of a basal diet that provided adequate metabolizable energy (10.9 M J/d) but inadequate metabolizable protein (75 g/d) to support 300-g gain per day. Four levels of casein infusion [0 (water), 35, 70, and 105 g/d], each infused for 5.5 d, were assigned to sheep according to a 4 × 4 Latin square design. [methyl-²H3]leucine was infused (8 h) into the duodenum while [1-13C]leucine plus [6-²H2]glucose were infused (8 h) into a jugular vein. With the exception of glutamate and glutamine, net absorption of AAs increased linearly (P < 0.05, R² = 0.46–1.79 for MDV; P < 0.05, R² = 0.6–1.58 for PDV) with casein infusion rate. Net absorption by the PDV accounted for < 100% of the additional supplies of leucine, valine, and isoleucine (0.6–0.66, P < 0.05) from casein infusion, whereas net absorption by the MDV accounted for 100% of the additional essential AA supply. Glucose absorption (negative) and utilization of arterial glucose supply by the GIT remained unchanged. There was a positive linear (P < 0.05) relation between transfer of plasma urea to the GIT and arterial urea concentration (MDV, P < 0.05, r = 0.90; PDV, P < 0.05, r= 0.93). The ruminant GIT appears to metabolize increasing amounts of the branched-chain AAs and certain nonessential AAs when the intestinal supply of protein is increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Identifying the sequences that direct the spatial and temporal expression of genes and defining their function in vivo remains a significant challenge in the annotation of vertebrate genomes. One major obstacle is the lack of experimentally validated training sets. In this study, we made use of extreme evolutionary sequence conservation as a filter to identify putative gene regulatory elements, and characterized the in vivo enhancer activity of a large group of non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved in human–pufferfish, Takifugu (Fugu) rubripes, or ultraconserved in human–mouse–rat. We tested 167 of these extremely conserved sequences in a transgenic mouse enhancer assay. Here we report that 45% of these sequences functioned reproducibly as tissue-specific enhancers of gene expression at embryonic day 11.5. While directing expression in a broad range of anatomical structures in the embryo, the majority of the 75 enhancers directed expression to various regions of the developing nervous system. We identified sequence signatures enriched in a subset of these elements that targeted forebrain expression, and used these features to rank all ∼3,100 non-coding elements in the human genome that are conserved between human and Fugu. The testing of the top predictions in transgenic mice resulted in a threefold enrichment for sequences with forebrain enhancer activity. These data dramatically expand the catalogue of human gene enhancers that have been characterized in vivo, and illustrate the utility of such training sets for a variety of biological applications, including decoding the regulatory vocabulary of the human genome.

AB  - The influenza pandemic of 1918–19 was responsible for about 50 million deaths worldwide. Modern histopathological analysis of autopsy samples from human influenza cases from 1918 revealed significant damage to the lungs with acute, focal bronchitis and alveolitis associated with massive pulmonary oedema, haemorrhage and rapid destruction of the respiratory epithelium. The contribution of the host immune response leading to this severe pathology remains largely unknown. Here we show, in a comprehensive analysis of the global host response induced by the 1918 influenza virus, that mice infected with the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus displayed an increased and accelerated activation of host immune response genes associated with severe pulmonary pathology. We found that mice infected with a virus containing all eight genes from the pandemic virus showed marked activation of pro-inflammatory and cell-death pathways by 24 h after infection that remained unabated until death on day 5. This was in contrast with smaller host immune responses as measured at the genomic level, accompanied by less severe disease pathology and delays in death in mice infected with influenza viruses containing only subsets of 1918 genes. The results indicate a cooperative interaction between the 1918 influenza genes and show that study of the virulence of the 1918 influenza virus requires the use of the fully reconstructed virus. With recent concerns about the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses into humans and their potential to cause a worldwide pandemic with disastrous health and economic consequences, a comprehensive understanding of the global host response to the 1918 virus is crucial. Moreover, understanding the contribution of host immune responses to virulent influenza virus infections is an important starting point for the identification of prognostic indicators and the development of novel antiviral therapies.

AB  - OBJECTIVE. The goal was to assess the influence of recent infection on screening tests for iron depletion (zinc protoporphyrin and hemoglobin) among low-income, preschool-aged children. METHODS. This cross-sectional study was conducted at community sites and ambulatory care clinics in Hartford, Connecticut, and included 180 preschool-aged children. Iron depletion was defined as serum ferritin levels of ≤15 µg/L. Recent illness was defined by parent or guardian (caretaker) report or evidence of elevated C-reactive protein concentrations. History of anemia was determined through medical records review. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values of hemoglobin and zinc protoporphyrin were calculated overall and for children with and without recent illness. RESULTS. At enrollment, more than one half of the children had a recent illness, and 57.5% had a history of anemia. More than one third had iron depletion. Serum ferritin levels were significantly higher among recently ill children. Secondary to recent illness, the positive predictive value of elevated zinc protoporphyrin, but not low hemoglobin, was reduced significantly. Zinc protoporphyrin levels of >69 p, mol/mol heine identified significantly more iron-deficient children. CONCLUSIONS. Compared with anemia, elevated zinc protoporphyrin levels identified significantly more iron-deficient children. Recently ill children were one half as likely to have low serum ferritin levels, compared with children without recent illness. The negative effect of recent illness on the positive predictive value of zinc protoporphyrin when ferritin is used to determine iron status has many practical implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context: Fusarium keratitis is a serious corneal infection, most commonly associated with corneal injury. Beginning in March 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received multiple reports of Fusarium keratitis among contact lens wearers. Objective: To define the specific activities, contact lens hygiene practices, or products associated with this outbreak. Design, Setting, and Participants: Epidemiological investigation of Fusarium keratitis occurring in the United States. A confirmed case was defined as keratitis with illness onset after June 1, 2005, with no history of recent ocular trauma and a corneal culture growing Fusarium species. Data were obtained by patient and ophthalmologist interviews for case patients and neighborhood-matched controls by trained personnel. Available Fusarium isolates from patients' clinical and environmental specimens were genotyped by multilocus sequence typing. Environmental sampling for Fusarium was conducted at a contact lens solution manufacturing plant. Main Outcome Measures: Keratitis infection with Fusarium species. Results: As of June 30, 2006, we identified 164 confirmed case patients in 33 states and 1 US territory. Median age was 41 years (range, 12-83 years). Corneal transplantation was required or planned in 55 (34%). One hundred fifty-four (94%) of the confirmed case patients wore soft contact lenses. Forty-five case patients and 78 controls were included in the case-control study. Case patients were significantly more likely than controls to report using a specific contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc (69% vs 15%; odds ratio, 13.3; 95% confidence interval, 3.1-119.5). The prevalence of reported use of ReNu MultiPlus solution was similar between case patients and controls (18% vs 20%; odds ratio, 0.7; 95% confidence interval, 0.2-2.8). Fusarium was not recovered from the factory, warehouse, solution filtrate, or unopened solution bottles; production of implicated lots was not clustered in time. Among 39 isolates tested, at least 10 different Fusarium species were identified, comprising 19 unique multilocus genotypes. Conclusions: The findings from this investigation indicate that this outbreak of Fusarium keratitis was associated with use of ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution. Contact lens users should not use ReNu with MoistureLoc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Inhibitors targeting pancreatic α-amylase and intestinal α-glucosidases delay glucose production following digestion and are currently used in the treatment of Type II diabetes. Maltase-glucoamylase (MGA), a family 31 glycoside hydrolase, is an α-glucosidase anchored in the membrane of small intestinal epithelial cells responsible for the final step of mammalian starch digestion leading to the release of glucose. This paper reports the production and purification of active human recombinant MGA amino terminal catalytic domain (MGAnt) from two different eukaryotic cell culture systems. MGAnt overexpressed in Drosophila cells was of quality and quantity suitable for kinetic and inhibition studies as well as future structural studies. Inhibition of MGAnt was tested with a group of prospective α-glucosidase inhibitors modeled after salacinol, a naturally occurring α-glucosidase inhibitor, and acarbose, a currently prescribed antidiabetic agent. Four synthetic inhibitors that bind and inhibit MGAnt activity better than acarbose, and at comparable levels to salacinol, were found. The inhibitors are derivatives of salacinol that contain either a selenium atom in place of sulfur in the five-membered ring, or a longer polyhydroxylated, sulfated chain than salacinol. Six-membered ring derivatives of salacinol and compounds modeled after miglitol were much less effective as MGAnt inhibitors. These results provide information on the inhibitory profile of MGAnt that will guide the development of new compounds having antidiabetic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article offers information on a randomized trial conducted to asses the impact of dietary vitamin D intakes and plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D in healthy infants. It informs that the clinical trial involved 132 healthy and one-month-old breastfed infants. The study concluded that a daily intake of vitamin D in infants leads to adequate plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration for identified physiological functioning related to bone health. It suggests that higher vitamin D intake and a target plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration should be tested in clinical trials with clearly defined health outcomes and close safety monitoring.

AB  - Mutations in MEF2A have been implicated in an autosomal dominant form of coronary artery disease (adCAD1). In this study we sought to determine whether severe mutations in MEF2A might also explain sporadic cases of coronary artery disease (CAD). To do this, we resequenced the coding sequence and splice sites of MEF2A in approximately 300 patients with premature CAD and failed to find causative mutations in the CAD cohort. However, we did identify the 21-bp MEF2A coding sequence deletion originally implicated in adCAD1 in 1 of 300 elderly control subjects without CAD. Further screening of approximately 1,500 additional individuals without CAD revealed 2 more subjects with the MEF2A 21-bp deletion. Genotyping of 19 family members of the 3 probands with the 21-bp deletion in MEF2A revealed that the mutation did not cosegregate with early CAD. These studies support that MEF2A mutations are not a common cause of CAD in white people and argue strongly against a role for the MEF2A 21-bp deletion in autosomal dominant CAD.

AB  - Context The role and dose of oral vitamin D supplementation in nonvertebral fracture prevention have not been well established. Objective To estimate the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in preventing hip and nonvertebral fractures in older persons. Data Sources A systematic review of English and non-English articles using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (1960-2005), and EMBASE (1991-2005). Additional studies were identified by contacting clinical experts and searching bibliographies and abstracts presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (1995-2004). Search terms included randomized controlled trial (RCT), controlled clinical trial, random allocation, double-blind method, cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, fractures, humans, elderly, falls, and bone density. Study Selection Only double-blind RCTs of oral vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol) with or without calcium supplementation vs calcium supplementation or placebo in older persons (≥60 years) that examined hip or nonvertebral fractures were included. Data Extraction Independent extraction of articles by 2 authors using predefined data fields, including study quality indicators. Data Synthesis All pooled analyses were based on random-effects models. Five RCTs for hip fracture (n = 9294) and 7 RCTs for nonvertebral fracture risk (n = 9820) met our inclusion criteria. All trials used cholecalciferol. Heterogeneity among studies for both hip and nonvertebral fracture prevention was observed, which disappeared after pooling RCTs with low-dose (400 IU/d) and higher-dose vitamin D (700-800 IU/d), separately. A vitamin D dose of 700 to 800 IU/d reduced the relative risk (RR) of hip fracture by 26% (3 RCTs with 5572 persons; pooled RR, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.88) and any nonvertebral fracture by 23% (5 RCTs with 6098 persons; pooled RR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.68-0.87) vs calcium or placebo. No significant benefit was observed for RCTs with 400 IU/d vitamin D (2 RCTs with 3722 persons; pooled RR for hip fracture, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.88-1.50; and pooled RR for any nonvertebral fracture, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.86-1.24). Conclusions Oral vitamin D supplementation between 700 to 800 IU/d appears to reduce the risk of hip and any nonvertebral fractures in ambulatory or institutionalized elderly persons. An oral vitamin D dose of 400 IU/d is not sufficient for fracture prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Qi L, Corella D, Sorlí JV, Portolés O, Shen H, Coltell O, Godoy D, Greenberg AS, Ordovas JM. Genetic variation at the perilipin (PLIN) locus is associated with obesity-related phenotypes in White women.Perilipin coats intracellular lipid droplets and modulates adipocyte lipolysis. We have evaluated the association between several polymorphisms at the perilipin (PLIN) locus (PLIN1 : 6209T > C,PLIN4 : 11482G > A,PLIN5 : 13041A > G, andPLIN6 : 14995A > T) with obesity-related phenotypes in 1589 White subjects randomly selected from a general Spanish population. In women (n = 801), the less common alleles ofPLIN1andPLIN4, in strong linkage disequilibrium (D′ : 0.96), were significantly associated with lower body mass index. Carriers of the allele 2 (6209C) at thePLIN1locus weighed significantly less (−2.2 kg; p = 0.007) than women homozygotes for the wild-type genotype. The same was true for 11482A carriers atPLIN4(p = 0.01). Moreover, thePLIN4variant was associated with significantly lower waist-to-hip ratio, plasma glucose, and triacylglycerol concentrations. No significant associations with these obesity-related phenotypes were found in men. In agreement with these results, statistically significant gene–gender interactions were obtained when the risk of obesity was estimated (281 subjects were obese and 1308 non-obese). Only in women,PLIN1andPLIN4variant alleles (6209C and 11482A) were associated with a lower obesity risk[Odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.38–0.93 and OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.36–0.89, respectively]. In summary, our data suggest that common alleles at thePLINlocus modulate body weight and metabolic variables in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Qi L, Shen H, Larson I, Barnard JR, Schaefer EJ and Ordovas JM. Genetic variation at the hormone sensitive lipase: gender-specific association with plasma lipid and glucose concentrations. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the intracellular hydrolysis of triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters, and it is involved in regulating body fat, steroidogenesis, and insulin secretion. Thus, genetic variability at the HSL locus ( LIPE) may play a significant role on lipid metabolism and the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we have examined two LIPE single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) [14672C>G in the promoter region and 17948C>T (rs1206034) on intron 2] in relation to plasma lipids, anthropometrical and glucose-related phenotypes in a population of mostly overweight and obese men (373) and women (361). In women, the 17948T allele was associated with decreased total cholesterol (TC, p = 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (LDLc, p < 0.001) and apoE concentrations (p = 0.041). Conversely, female carriers of the LIPE 14672G allele had significantly higher TC (p = 0.047), LDLc (p = 0.041), and apoE (p = 0.041) levels. Although we did not find significant associations in men, we observed that male carriers of the LIPE 14672G who did not drink alcohol showed higher glucose levels than non-carriers (p = 0.008), whereas there were no allele-related differences among drinkers (p = 0.019 for the interaction). These SNPs were not significantly associated with anthropometrical variables. In summary, variation at this locus showed gender-specific associations with lipids and glucose measures, and the latter was influenced by alcohol drinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We assessed the effect of two common mutations in the lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL), D9N and N291S, which have been shown to modulate plasma lipids in a wide spectrum of patients.A total of 1 114 men and 1 144 women from the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS) were analyzed for these two LPL variants. Subsequently, the association with fasting plasma lipids and risk of coronary artery disease (CHD) was determined. We extended our study by calculating weighed means of lipids and lipoproteins in carriers and non-carriers for these LPL mutations in patients with genetic dyslipidemias, CHD patients and healthy controls.In the FOS sample, the D9N and N291S alleles were associated with lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (Δ=-0.07 mmol/l, p=0.03) and a trend towards increased triglycerides (Δ=0.25 mmol/l, p=0.07). In women, a trend towards the high triglyceride, low HDL-C phenotype was evident (Δ=-0.02 mmol/l for HDL-C and Δ=0.14 mmol/l for triglycerides, respectively). Cumulative analysis of other studies of male carriers of the D9N and N291S revealed higher levels of triglycerides (D291N; 2.60(1.85) mmol/l vs. 1.62(1.18) mmol/l: p<0.0001) (D9N; 1.94 (1.19) mmol/l vs. 1.74(1.17) mmol/l: p<0.001) and lower HDL-C (N291S; 1.04(0.32) mmol/l vs. 1.15(0.28) mmol/l: p<0.0001) (D9N; 1.08(0.24) mmol/l vs. 1.16(0.28) mmol/l: p<0.0001). In females, results differed with higher TG levels (N291S; 1.70(0.99) mmol/l vs. 1.10(0.63) mmol/l: p<0.001) (D9N; 1.08(0.76) mmol/l vs. 0.96(0.51) mmol/l: p<0.01) and lower HDL-C levels (N291S; 1.27(0.33) mmol/l vs. 1.51(0.32) mmol/l: p<0.0001); however, the HDL-C levels for D9N carriers were similar to non-carriers (D9N; 1.52(0.29) mmol/l vs. 1.53(0.35) mmol/l: p=0.83).Our data provide evidence that common variants of the LPL gene are significant modulators of lipid and lipoprotein levels in both men and women.

AB  - Genetic variation at the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) locus has been shown to influence plasma lipids and to modulate risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Recently, we found that the most frequent variant at this locus, involving a C-terminal truncation of two amino acids (Ser447X), was associated with both higher LPL activity and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in patients with CHD. However, the impact of this S447X variant on lipids and CHD in the general population was hitherto unknown. We, therefore, analyzed a total of 1 114 men and 1 144 women randomly ascertained from the Framingham Offspring Study (FOS) for the presence of this LPL variant. Carrier frequency of the S447X allele was 17%, and in men carrier status was associated with higher total cholesterol (Δ=6.2 mg/dl, p=0.03), higher HDL-C (Δ=2.3 mg/dl, p=0.01), and lower triglyceride (TG) levels (Δ=-19.4 mg/dl, p=0.02). Moreover, in men, the S447X allele conferred significant protection against CHD (odds ratio: 0.43; p=0.04). These effects on lipids and CHD were not seen in women. Our study represents the first report on the impact of this mutation on CHD in men from the general population, and we conclude, therefore, that the S447X variant may confer significant protection against high TG levels, low HDL-C, and premature CHD in these subjects.

AB  - Nascent synthesis and accumulation of germin and its mRNA mark the onset of renewed growth when wheat embryos are germinated in water. Germin is a water-soluble, pepsin-resistant protein that is not found in immature embryos, or in mature embryos before their germination. An antiserum was raised by injecting rabbits with germin that was freed of other proteins by pepsinization and gel filtration. The antiserum has been used to detect, in extracts of mature embryos from dry, ungerminated wheat grains, a protein that is antigenically related to germin. The antigenically related protein has been named pseudogermin. Pseudogermin accumulates, maximally, between 20–25-days postanthesis, then declines appreciably in amount by 30-days postanthesis, in soluble extracts of immature embryos from several wheat varieties. The antiserum was also used to identify germin and pseudogermin among the proteins extracted from cell walls and to bind immunogold to cell walls preparatory to visualizing freeze-cleaved embryos by scanning electron microscopy. Wall-associated germin accounts for about 40% of the total germin in germinating wheat embryos. Appearance of germin in the apoplast is the most conspicuous germination-related change in the distribution of cell- wall proteins. It seems that germin may act at the level of the apoplast and that pseudogermin may subsume the role of germin at low water potentials during embryogenesis. The N-terminal eicosapeptide sequences in germin and pseudogermin are very similar but SDS/PAGE analysis detects discrete differences between the mobilities of their constituent monomers as well as gross differences between the stabilities of the parent oligomers. Like germin, pseudogermin is a water-soluble, pepsin- resistant protein, but pseudogermin has unprecedented disulphide-independent thermostability properties that have never been previously reported for a water-soluble oligomeric protein. Poly- saccharides that co-purify with otherwise pure specimens of germin (and pseudogermin) have been isolated for analysis and shown to be highly substituted glucuronogalactoarabinoxylans. The possible biological significance of selective and tenacious association between germin and glucuronogalactoarabinoxylans is discussed in relation to cell expansion during embryogenic and germinative development of wheat, as are some peculiarities of amino-acid sequence that suggest a possible relation between germin and a proton-specific ion pump: gastric ATPase.

AB  - The endoglucanase I (EGI) and the cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei form a homologous pair of cellulolytic enzymes which nevertheless have different modes of action. We show here that the action of CBHI on bacterial microcrystalline cellulose results in efficient solubilisation but only a slow decrease in its degree of polymerisation. In contrast, the action of EGI results in a rapid decrease of the degree of polymerisation but less efficient overall solubilisation of the substrate. CBHI alone was practically inactive toward cotton which has a high initial degree of polymerisation and a complex morphology. EGI rapidly reduced the degree of polymerisation of cotton, and slowly solubilised part of it. Working synergistically, EGI and CBHI solubilised cotton more rapidly and to a greater extent than EGI alone. Our data are consistent with the exoglucanase nature of CBHI and also provide some evidence supporting its processive mode of action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pseudomonas flavescens strain B62 (NCPPB 3063) is a recently described bacterium isolated from walnut blight cankers. This strain has been designated as the type strain of a Pseudomonas rRNA groupI species. Strain B62 produced a mixture of two exopolysaccharides, differing in weight average relative molecular mass and composition. Only the most abundant exopolysaccharide (90 % by mass), corresponding to the one with the lower molecular mass, was investigated by use of methylation analysis, partial acid hydrolysis, and NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide was depolymerised by the action of the cellulase produced by Penicillum funiculosum and the oligosaccharide obtained, corresponding to the repeating unit, was characterised by NMR spectroscopy and ion-spray mass spectrometry. The repeating unit of the B62 exopolysaccharide is AcAc ∣∣ 66 ←4)-β-D-Xp-(1←4)-β-D-Glcp-(1← 3 ↑ 1 α-L-Fucp 4 ↑ 1 4-O-L-Lac-β-D-GlcpA where X is glucose (75 %) or mannose (25 %), and Lac is lactate. The O-acetyl groups are present only on 75 % of the repeating units, and they are linked to the C6 of the hexose residues in non-stoichiometric amounts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context The scarcity of data addressing the health effects of popular diets is an important public health concern, especially since patients and physicians are interested in using popular diets as individualized eating strategies for disease prevention. Objective To assess adherence rates and the effectiveness of 4 popular diets (Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, and Ornish) for weight loss and cardiac risk factor reduction. Design, Setting, and Participants A single-center randomized trial at an academic medical center in Boston, Mass, of overweight or obese (body mass index: mean, 35; range, 27-42) adults aged 22 to 72 years with known hypertension, dyslipidemia, or fasting hyperglycemia. Participants were enrolled starting July 18, 2000, and randomized to 4 popular diet groups until January 24, 2002. Intervention A total of 160 participants were randomly assigned to either Atkins (carbohydrate restriction, n=40), Zone (macronutrient balance, n=40), Weight Watchers (calorie restriction, n=40), or Ornish (fat restriction, n=40) diet groups. After 2 months of maximum effort, participants selected their own levels of dietary adherence. Main Outcome Measures One-year changes in baseline weight and cardiac risk factors, and self-selected dietary adherence rates per self-report. Results Assuming no change from baseline for participants who discontinued the study, mean (SD) weight loss at 1 year was 2.1 (4.8) kg for Atkins (21 [53%] of 40 participants completed, P = .009), 3.2 (6.0) kg for Zone (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P = .002), 3.0 (4.9) kg for Weight Watchers (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P < .001), and 3.3 (7.3) kg for Ornish (20 [50%] of 40 completed, P = .007). Greater effects were observed in study completers. Each diet significantly reduced the low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio by approximately 10% (all P<.05), with no significant effects on blood pressure or glucose at 1 year. Amount of weight loss was associated with self-r... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Context Falls among elderly individuals occur frequently, increase with age, and lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. The role of vitamin D in preventing falls among elderly people has not been well established. Objective To assess the effectiveness of vitamin D in preventing an older person from falling. Data Sources MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register from January 1960 to February 2004, EMBASE from January 1991 to February 2004, clinical experts, bibliographies, and abstracts. Search terms included trial terms: randomized-controlled trial or controlled-clinical trial or random-allocation or double-blind method, or single-blind method or uncontrolled-trials with vitamin D terms: cholecalciferol or hydroxycholecalciferols or calcifediol or dihydroxycholecalciferols or calcitriol or vitamin D/aa[analogs & derivates] or ergocalciferol or vitamin D/bl[blood]; and with accidental falls or falls, and humans. Study Selection We included only double-blind randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of vitamin D in elderly populations (mean age, 60 years) that examined falls resulting from low trauma for which the method of fall ascertainment and definition of falls were defined explicitly. Studies including patients in unstable health states were excluded. Five of 38 identified studies were included in the primary analysis and 5 other studies were included in a sensitivity analysis. Data Extraction Independent extraction by 3 authors using predefined data fields including study quality indicators. Data Synthesis Based on 5 RCTs involving 1237 participants, vitamin D reduced the corrected odds ratio (OR) of falling by 22% (corrected OR, 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-0.92) compared with patients receiving calcium or placebo. From the pooled risk difference, the number needed to treat (NNT) was 15 (95% CI, 8-53), or equivalently 15 patients would need to be treated with vitamin D to prevent 1 person from falling. The inclusion of 5 additional st... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We have investigated the photosystem-II organization in differentiating-bundle-sheath cells of the three malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate decarboxylating) (NADP+)-type C4 species maize, Sorghum and Pennisetum. Using a set of nine different antisera raised against individual subunits of photosystem-II, we demonstrate that photosystem-II components constitute a substantial part of the thylakoid membranes of young bundle-sheath chloroplasts. The abundance of subunits of the photosystem-II core, i.e. the 47-and 43-kDa chlorophyll-a-binding proteins, polypeptides D1 and D2, cytochrome b559, and the 34-kDa polypeptide, varies with the developmental state of the plant. However, the levels of the 23-kDa, 16-kDa and 10-kDa extrinsic polypeptides of the water-oxidation complex arc drastically reduced in bundle-sheath chloroplasts of all three species analyzed, regardless of their state of differentiation. The reduction in protein abundance is also reflected at the transcript level: only traces of the nuclear-encoded mRNAs are found in differentiating bundle-sheath cells of Sorghum, suggesting that the transcription of these genes has been switched off. Our data are compatible with the idea that the wateroxidation complex is a prime site for initiating or maintaining the process leading to photosystem-II depletion during differentiation of bundle-sheath cells.

AB  - Only limited aspects of the transfer of calcium across the placenta to the fetus are known. Clinical outcome studies suggest that bone mineral mass in newborn infants is related to maternal size and dairy intake. Available data indicate that vitamin D deficiency may also limit in utero fetal bone mineral accumulation. Recent data suggest that maternal vitamin D status affects long-term childhood bone status. At present, no strong evidence exists showing that improving maternal calcium or vitamin D status has a long-term positive effect on childhood bone mass. In premature infants, clinical rickets and fractures are common. In utero rates of calcium accretion during the third trimester cannot be readily achieved. The use of fortifiers designed for human-milk-fed infants or specially designed high-mineral-containing formulas allows for bone mineral accretion at or near in utero rates. Recent data have shown that physical therapy programs, judiciously used, in combination with adequate mineral content, can enhance bone mineral mass in preterm infants. There is little evidence for the use of high doses of vitamin D in the management of premature infants. After hospital discharge, continuation of a relatively high mineral intake has been shown to enhance bone mineral acquisition. Future research should include evaluations of the role of maternal vitamin D supplementation on fetal and infant bone mass, the mineral needs of infants weighing <800 g or <25 wk gestation, and the optimal discharge management of premature infants who are at risk of low bone mass.

AB  - We identified four diagnostic microsatellite loci that distinguish spotted owls ( Strix occidentalis), barred owls ( Strix varia), F1 hybrids and backcrosses. Thirty-four out of 52 loci tested (65.4%) successfully amplified, and four of these loci (11.8%) had allele sizes that did not overlap between spotted and barred owls. The probability of correctly identifying a backcross with these four loci is 0.875. Genotyping potential hybrid owls with these markers revealed that field identifications were often wrong. Given the difficulty of identifying hybrids in the field, these markers will be useful for hybrid identification, law enforcement and spotted owl conservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Twenty-four dinucleotide simple sequence repeat markers were developed for the phytopathogenic fungus, Puccinia graminis. The identified loci were polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from two to 11 alleles. Observed and expected levels of heterozygosity ranged from 0.000 to 0.960 and from 0.113 to 0.846, respectively. Fourteen of the loci deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Null alleles were observed for 10 of the 24 loci with a frequency of 4-16%. A preliminary screen of other Puccinia cereal rust fungi ( P. coronata, P. striiformis and P. triticina) indicated that these primer pairs are specific to P. graminis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Single-nucleotide polymorphisms are an integral component of the evolutionary process that over millennia have resulted from the interaction between the environment and the human genome. Relatively recent changes in diet have upset this interaction with respect to the nutritional environment, but nutritional science is beginning to better understand the interaction between genes and diet, with the resulting potential to influence cardiovascular disease risk by dietary modification. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in several genes have been linked to differential effects in terms of lipid metabolism; however, even a simple model of benefit and risk is difficult to interpret in terms of dietary advice to carriers of the various alleles because of conflicting interactions between different genes. The n-3 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids is underrepresented in our modern diet; much of the benefit of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in studies of various polymorphisms seems to be linked to increased n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake. The nascent science of nutrigenomics faces many challenges; more and better research is needed to clarify the picture, rebut scepticism, and re-invigorate the discussion concerning genetic polymorphism and its interaction with diet.

AB  - This overview of multiple micronutrients during pregnancy and lactation emphasizes 2 relatively neglected issues. The first is that maternal micronutrient status in the periconceptional period, and throughout pregnancy and lactation, should be viewed as a continuum; too often these 3 stages are treated and discussed separately from both a scientific and a public health perspective. Iron and vitamin B-12 are included as examples to stress how status at conception affects maternal, fetal, and infant status and health until the child is weaned. The second issue is that while most attention has been focused on a few micronutrients, for example iron and folate as discussed elsewhere in this Supplement, multiple micronutrient deficiencies occur simultaneously when diets are poor. Some of these deserve more attention as causes of poor pregnancy outcome, including other B vitamin deficiencies that result in homocysteinemia, antioxidants, vitamin D, and iodine. In lactation, maternal status or intake of the B vitamins (except folate), vitamin A, selenium and iodine strongly affect the amount of these nutrients secreted in breast milk. This can result in the infant consuming substantially less than the recommended amounts and further depleting stores that were low at birth. While the optimal mode of meeting recommended micronutrient intakes is an adequate diet, in some situations supplementation is also important. Unfortunately, information is lacking on the optimal formulation of micronutrient supplements for pregnant women, and the need to continue these supplements during lactation is not recognized in many situations where maternal and infant health could benefit.

AB  - Despite elegant research involving molecular biology studies and determination of the genetic mechanisms of aging, practical information on how to forestall or reverse the deleterious effects of aging may be years away. If this is the case, then it is prudent to try to establish other methods that can be used now to alter the course of aging. Numerous epidemiologic studies have indicated that individuals who consume diets containing large amounts of fruits and vegetables may reduce their risk for developing age-related diseases such as Alzheimer disease. Research from our laboratory suggested that dietary supplementation with fruit or vegetable extracts high in antioxidants (eg, blueberry or spinach extracts) might decrease the enhanced vulnerability to oxidative stress that occurs in aging. These reductions might be expressed as improvements in motor and cognitive behavior. Additional research suggested that mechanisms in addition to antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities might be involved in the beneficial effects of these extracts; the most important of these might be their ability to increase cellular Copyright © 2005 American Society for Clinical Nutrition

AB  - Iron and zinc are currently the trace minerals of greatest concern when considering the nutritional value of vegetarian diets. With elimination of meat and increased intake of phytate-containing legumes and whole grains, the absorption of both iron and zinc is lower with vegetarian than with nonvegetarian, diets. The health consequences of lower iron and zinc bioavailability are not clear, especially in industrialized countries with abundant, varied food supplies, where nutrition and health research has generally supported recommendations to reduce meat and increase legume and whole-grain consumption. Although it is clear that vegetarians have lower iron stores, adverse health effects from lower iron and zinc absorption have not been demonstrated with varied vegetarian diets in developed countries, and moderately lower iron stores have even been hypothesized to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Premenopausal women cannot easily achieve recommended iron intakes, as modified for vegetarians, with foods alone; however, the benefit of routine iron supplementation has not been demonstrated. It may be prudent to monitor the hemoglobin of vegetarian children and women of childbearing age. Improved assessment methods are required to determine whether vegetarians are at risk of zinc deficiency. In contrast with iron and zinc, elements such as copper appear to be adequately provided by vegetarian diets. Although the iron and zinc deficiencies commonly associated with plant-based diets in impoverished nations are not associated with vegetarian diets in wealthier countries, these nutrients warrant attention as nutritional assessment methods become more sensitive and plant-based diets receive greater emphasis.

AB  - Objective: Obese pregnancy is associated with significantly higher rates of infection, which can harm both mother and fetus. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of obesity on maternal blood immune function. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional, case control study of 15 obese (Ob) and 15 lean (Lc) subjects. Immune cell subsets, intracellular and serum cytokine production, and lymphocyte proliferation were measured in maternal blood during the second trimester of pregnancy. Results: Obese women had a significantly lower proportion of CD8+ and NKT cells and a higher proportion of B cells, impaired cytokine production when stimulated ex vivo, and impaired ability of lymphocytes to proliferate compared with their lean counterparts. Conclusion: Obese pregnancy is associated with impaired cell-mediated immunity. Because perinatal infections can have serious maternal and fetal consequences, it is imperative to better understand these mechanistic underpinnings to optimize prevention and devise targeted therapy.

AB  - The article reports that high grazing intensity increasse the emissions of nitrous oxide, referring an article published within this issue. It informs that grazing increases the rate of nitrogen cycling, and faster cycling leads to higher nitrogen losses from the soil-plant-animal system. It is stated that grazing reduces vegetation and snow cover which leads to less soil water being supplied by the melting snow. It is reported that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural activities. Since nitrous oxide is a major green house gas, scientists are trying to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by increasing grazing intensity.
